The calendar turned to October, and college football staged a playoff game.
Or, to perhaps be more accurate, a playoff preview.
The selection committee didn't have to make a truly difficult call in the first two years of the College Football Playoff, with conference champions inarguably fitting snuggly into all four spots. This season looks different.
Clemson's hype-worthy 42-36 victory over Louisville on Saturday night showcased the choices the committee might have to make in early December. Each of these ACC teams look like they belong. The Big Ten has the same "problem." More on that in a bit.
First, Clemson. The Tigers put the ACC Atlantic into a headlock. They now have the tiebreaker versus the Cardinals. Florida State has two losses. Clemson could lose, still play in the ACC title game and get into the playoff. Margin of error is nice.
Louisville has a great win (the rout of Florida State), a great loss (Clemson) and a great opportunity (Houston, Nov. 17). The Cardinals also have a great schedule, not having to play divisional cross-over games against Miami, North Carolina or Virginia Tech. Would an 11-1 Louisville team have a playoff resume? Oh, yeah.
Maybe that wouldn't be the case in every season. Ohio State didn't manage that trick last season, finishing 11-1, with its only loss to Big Ten champ Michigan State. But to repeat, this season is potentially different.
The Big 12 doesn't have a lock on a playoff spot, unless you think Baylor is going to stay unblemished once it arrives at the meat of its schedule. And the Pac-12 might be down to one candidate — Washington, which humbled Stanford in a way that makes it tough for the Cardinal to recover nationally. Do the Huskies have staying power? We'll see.
In any case, TWO of the Power 5 conferences are on the playoff ropes, opening the door for two teams from another league.
Like the Big Ten. Ohio State very well might be the most complete team in the country. Michigan looks the part, too. Could the 11-1 loser of that regular-season-ending rivalry make the playoff, too?
Of course, there's a long way to go, but it's a short top tier as of today: Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, Louisville, Houston.
The second tier includes Washington, Baylor, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Miami … maybe even Nebraska and other interlopers.
In any case, we'd take this final four right now — Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Louisville — and think all were the right call.
1. Never say a team is "back" until it's all the way back. Texas was "back" last year when it upset Oklahoma; then it was shut out at Iowa State two weeks later and didn't even make a bowl. Texas was "back" this year when it beat Notre Dame in the opener; now it has given up 99 points in consecutive losses and the only thing that is "back" is talk about Charlie Strong's job security.
2. We should apply the above thinking to Washington. Everybody is in a rush to anoint the Huskies after they cleaned Stanford's clock 44-6 on Friday night. The Huskies are well-coached and well-constructed (including having future several pros on defense), but they still have to play at Oregon this Saturday and at Utah in a Pac-12 that usually finds a way to eat its own.
3. The Group of 5 race cleared up. Houston retains the pole position for a major New Year's Day Bowl, if not a playoff spot. But the Cougars' top contender, San Diego State, dropped its engine on the road at South Alabama, losing 42-24. Go figure the Jaguars. They have wins over Mississippi State and SDSU to sandwich losses to Georgia Southern and Louisiana-Lafayette.
4. The Pac-12 is upside down. Oregon is last in the Pac-12 North, just another team that can't play defense. Colorado, which hasn't been to a bowl since 2007 and had averaged one Pac-12 victory per year in its first five years in the league, is 2-0 and first in the Pac-12 South. Takeaway: The Mark Helfrich era won't end well in Eugene, because you don't give up 280 RUSHING yards to a Mike Leach-coached team without being shoved to the edge of the plank.
5. A new coordinator didn't solve Notre Dame's defense. Head coach Brian Kelly jettisoned Brian VanGorder last Sunday and promoted defensive analyst Greg Hudson, and then the Irish gave up 489 yards and 33 points to Syracuse. The defense settled down after being swamped by the Orange's up-tempo spread, but the rest of Notre Dame's season lays out as a series of shootouts.
6. Les Miles WAS the problem. The former LSU head man is a very good coach who made a series of bad decisions with his offense. So, he's gone, and the ball of atomic energy known as Ed Orgeron is the interim coach, and, naturally, the LSU offense goes all nuclear Saturday. Even without injured star running back Leonard Fournette, the Tigers ran up 634 yards — their most ever in an SEC game — in a 42-7 win over Missouri. Coach O puts the O in LSU.
7. Don't ever extend a coach's contract when you don't have to extend a coach's contract. Iowa's Kirk Ferentz had a deal through 2019. He wasn't leaving. Nobody was coming to steal him away. Then the school, early last month, extended his contract through 2025. Then the Hawkeyes lost to North Dakota State and Northwestern at home.
8. Tennessee is blessed. The team that couldn't win in the fourth quarter last year suddenly can't lose. The Vols' latest comeback was their most improbable, with a Hail Mary to shock Georgia 34-31. Can a "lucky" team make it all the way to national title game? We could ask 2013 Auburn.
9. Miami's prove-it time has arrived. New coach Mark Richt has the Hurricanes at 4-0. Saturday's win at Georgia Tech was nice. The NFL scouts love quarterback Brad Kaaya. But this five-game stretch awaits: Florida State, North Carolina, at Virginia Tech, at Notre Dame, Pitt.
10. Get ready to focus on Alabama. The Tide deftly shut down Kentucky on Saturday while everyone was watching something else. Nick Saban's guys won't be far from our thoughts with Alabama and true freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts taking on this upcoming schedule: at Arkansas, at Tennessee, vs. Texas A&M, at LSU.
5 Heisman candidates
1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville. Can a quarterback lose a game and still be No. 1 in the race? You betcha. Our eyes don't lie: Even in defeat, Jackson was the best player on the field, and it might not have been that close.
2. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson. The Deshaun Watson who carved up Alabama in last season's national title game has yet to fully re-emerge — talk about high standards — but he did throw for five touchdowns versus Louisville and did get the win, shaking off a three-interception night.
3. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State. The junior became the Buckeyes' career leader for touchdown passes on Saturday as Ohio State killed time with a romp over Rutgers.
4. Greg Ward Jr., QB, Houston. Compare and contrast: He'll be on the same field as Lamar Jackson on Nov. 17.
5. Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina. After the Tar Heels' wild win over Florida State, he's sixth nationally in passing efficiency, with 13 touchdowns, no interceptions and the nation's best completion percentage at 76.0.
5 games to watch in Week 6
1. Tennessee at Texas A&M (3:30 p.m. ET). Two of the SEC's three 5-0 teams meet in College Station, and only one can emerge as the true challenger to Alabama.
2. Oklahoma vs. Texas (Dallas, noon ET) — Please check the Lost and Found at the State Fair for two missing defenses.
3. Alabama at Arkansas (7 p.m. ET) — Two years ago in Fayetteville, the Crimson Tide barely escaped with a 14-13 victory.
4. LSU at Florida (noon ET) — Is the LSU offense back? We'll know way more after the Tigers run into the nation's No. 2 total defense.
5. Florida State at Miami (8 p.m. ET) — Are the Hurricanes the best team in Florida?
NFLDraftScout.com: Film Room Review
Analyst Rob Rang's prospect takeaways for this week, highlighted by Friday's Top 10 duel between Washington and Stanford. Players listed including position, school, year (Height, weight and current NFLDraftScout.com overall rating and by position).
–DT Vita Vea, Washington, 6-5, 332, rSo. (No. 28 DT in Class of 2019): With more than 20 NFL scouts in attendance for the Huskies' home game against Stanford, Vea showed off the agility and speed that already had him on the radar of many, helping limit Heisman Trophy candidate Christian McCaffrey to 49 rushing yards.
–OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin, 6-5, 314, rJr. (#21 OT in Class of 2018): One of the hottest names in the scouting community entering the game, the Division III transfer had never experienced anything like the noise in Ann Arbor or Michigan's senior-laden front. After surrendering early pressure, Ramczyk largely held his own and showed off the nimble feet, balance and physical punch that have scouts so intrigued.
–DT Elijah Qualls, Washington, 6-2, 225, Jr. (No. 9 DT in Class of 2019): Belying the square-ish frame which has earned comparisons to former teammate — and Cleveland Browns first-round pick — Danny Shelton, Qualls possesses impressive initial quickness to threaten gaps. His variety of pass-rush moves (including an over-arm swim and spin) gave even Johnny Caspers, Stanford's most experienced offensive lineman, trouble.
–DE Chris Wormley, Michigan, 6-4, 303, rSr. (#70 overall, #7 DT): Wormley's stout frame and power are a significant contrast to the quickness and length of teammate Taco Charlton. Wormley supplied consistent pressure, impacting quarterback Alex Hornibrook's accuracy throughout the game. He added his fourth sack of the season by undercutting tackle Jacob Maxwell with a quick inside rip that demonstrated his quickness and core strength. Wormley moves well for a man of his size, showing light feet and balance to maneuver, traits which will intrigue scouts for traditional 4-3 and 3-4 clubs.
–OLB Joe Mathis, Washington, 6-2, 255, Sr. (#208, #17 OLB): Of all of Washington's impressive defensive performances Friday night, Mathis may have helped his draft stock the most, recording several key tackles. Graded by scouts as a free agent entering the season, Mathis looked every bit the part of a draft-worthy prospect against the Cardinal's normally stout offensive line, alternately impressing with his core strength on bull rushes and quick hands and effective rip move to wreak havoc off the edge.

A portrait of Mah Cissé
Home | News & Stories | A portrait of Mah Cissé
"I am ready now to continue my efforts with an even greater conviction than before and more courageous because I feel more and more that I am no longer alone in this and that the entire world is supporting me." – Mah Cissé
In November 2014, Mah Cissé travelled to Copenhagen to speak as guest of honour at an international FGC conference co-hosted by Orchid Project at the Danish Parliament. Speakers at the conference included Tostan CEO Molly Melching, Orchid Project founder Julia Lalla-Maharajh, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Coordinator for the UNFPA/UNICEF programme on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting Dr Nafissatou Diop, Ministers from Denmark, Sweden and Norway and the UK Ambassador to Denmark.
On the day however, the most powerful voice belonged to Mah Cissé. Mah, real name Kadidia Sounfountera, is a native of Mali and so required Molly Melching to translate her story on stage as she spoke. Despite this language barrier, Mah Cissé delivered an impassioned speech that immediately resonated in the hearts of all at the conference watching her speak.
Mah Cisse with Julia, Molly, Danish Minister Mogens Jensen and HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark
Her story elucidates the importance of community empowerment and education programmes, and shows how FGC can be abandoned if the right methods are employed. Earlier this year, Orchid Project supported Mah Cissé's community, and 13 others in the surrounding area, to abandon FGC. Mah Cissé was nominated to co-ordinate this process and overcame many difficulties in the build up to the declaration on February 6th 2014.
As Mah Cissé says, it was not a simple choice to begin working on ending FGC. "It was a difficult decision. I talked about it with my husband and he looked at me and said how do we do this, what do we say? I wanted to help other women who wanted to abandon this too, but I didn't know how.
Tostan came to my village, and together we studied different human rights that we were entitled to, health information, and problem solving. We also learned about the human right to express our own opinions and how to organise, and so we decided to organise. In groups we went from house to house and we told people about the consequences of FGC and this practice. And we decided to declare an abandonment of this practice.
Community member Moussoukoura Sidy reading at the declaration.
So we went to the national committee that helps organise the abandonment of FGC in Mali and we told them that we have decided to abandon FGC in our community. And they said that the 6th February is the 'International Day for the Abandonment of FGC', so to wait and do it on that day as it is close by. So we decided to do it then.
Everything was great but at the last minute before the declaration, the Imams decided that they didn't want to hold the declaration because they saw so many people becoming involved. So they called and said, 'you must stop this we don't want you to hold this declaration because it's written in the Koran, it's an obligation'. They got on the radio and told all the young Muslims to throw rocks at us to try and stop this declaration from happening.
They also said they would rip the clothes off the women, clothes which were a celebration of that day and all the women were wearing them. So they were threatening us through the radio and telling us that if we do not stop they will not be present at our baptisms, and if we died they will not give us a Muslim funeral. And yet we decided we were engaged, we were committed, and we went through with that declaration."
The resistance that Mah Cissé and others around her met was not unusual, especially in areas where change is only now beginning to happen. Yet across Africa we are seeing that when communities who have abandoned speak with their neighbours, their friends, their relatives, when they share the reasons why they made this decision and break the taboo, others make the same choice. Change happens first at a community level and it is this change we need to support if we are to see an end to FGC in our lifetime. As Mah Cissé said, the entire world has a role to play.

Meg and her husband Richard came to see me when she was advanced in her pregnancy. Initially they sought help with arguments between themselves but it became clear that their fighting, sometimes physical, was generated by the pressure that their extended families were putting them under and they were being pulled in different directions to provide support. Meg's mother had been looking after her sister, a recovering heroin addict, and would constantly phone Meg if Alice were 'missing' for too long. Richard's father had died suddenly not long after Meg had become pregnant. Richard's mum expected him to call around every night after work and Meg was worried that this would not change after the baby was born. The more that Meg and Richard attempted to pull away and think about their new roles and responsibilities, the more their respective families seemed to fall into crisis.
Many people may be surprised by the reactions of their extended family to the pregnancy. Grandparents-to-be may be delighted about their new situation and yet find themselves reliving some of their own disappointments and problems of that time. This can translate into heavy-handed advice or not being available in a way that might have been hoped for.
Pregnancy is a time when you may be offered lots of 'advice' especially from your own and other parents, which may not always be helpful and may feel undermining. But it is important to remember everyone is going to be learning his or her new role.


Friday was stickcow's birthday party, which started at 9pm. Before that, ivo, goulo, Yvette, and I went for dinner at the Brick Oven. I ordered the Pasta Rustica, which is grilled chicken, bowtie pasta, and artichokes in a sun-dried tomato sauce. It was pretty good, but I like the dish better with spicy Italian sausage instead of chicken. Anyway, I was eating something white, which wasn't chicken and wasn't an artichoke, and I realized that it was an entire clove of garlic. Now, I like garlic and all, but there were probably 15-20 cloves of the stuff in this one pasta dish! After eating the first one I'd already decided that I was going to smell like garlic for a while so I finished them all off. It's now about 48 hours later and I don't think I'm exuding garlic anymore, but I can't be sure.
On Saturday I went to a group meet of NSX owners in Austin. There were 14 NSXes there! It was a great turnout, lovely weather, and lots of fun driving around the twisty roads on the edge of Lake Travis.
Saturday evening decibel45 grilled some delicious steaks and snaxxx fixed up a bunch of yummy vegetables to complete a great meal. Thanks guys!
Today I was planning to go flying gliders, the initial weather report indicated that it would get sunny but colder and windy in the afternoon. I picked out some warm clothes suitable for sitting outside for a few hours, and headed out. I kept checking back to see whether flying was on or not, and finally around noon when I was already on my way it was cancelled. Oh well. I haven't flown since my first solo flight three weeks ago, all due to the weather. If I could have, I would have!
Speaking of weather, it's forecast to freeze tonight. I've been waiting months for some decent cold weather. All I can say is I'm glad I don't live in someplace like Florida. A few years ago I was in Florida the week before Thanksgiving, and it was 80+ degrees with 80% humidity. Ugh, that was awful!

Supreme state audit CONSUPE summons Lazare Atou and Co over stormy asset management case
- Friday, 26 November 2021 15:36
(Business in Cameroon) - In a release issued on November 25, 2021, Mbah Acha Rose Fomundam, Minister Delegate at the Presidency in charge of Supreme State Audit, summoned Lazare Atou, promoter of the eponymous consulting firm, and eight other people for "urgent matters concerning them."
This summon comes in the aftermath of the suspension of the consulting firm's authorizations to manage the assets of three former state-owned companies (Office national de commercialisation des produits de base [ONCPB], Office national des ports du Cameroun [ONPC] and Régie nationale des chemins de fer du Cameroun [Régifercam or RNCFC]).
The individuals concerned are expected to come to the permanent secretariat of the Council of Budgetary and Financial Discipline of the Superior State Control on Monday 29, 2021 at 10:00 am. Usually, when that state institution summons individuals, it means they are suspected of misconduct or fund misappropriations.
In her release, Mbah Acha Rose Fomundam indicates that the people summoned are those who purchased some of the real estate assets under management between 2006 and 2021. She added that the call falls within the framework of a mission aimed at auditing the management of those assets as instructed by the President of the Republic.
The call comes in a conflict context. On November 8, 2021, Lazare Atou, founder and general manager of his consulting firm Atou, filed two petitions against Mbah Acha Rose Fomundam. The first petition filed before the Littoral administrative court is to request a stay of execution of the September 17, 2021, correspondence relating to the audit of the above-mentioned former state firms.
The second petition submitted before the same institution is a contentious appeal for annulment of the same correspondence.
In July 2019 Mr Atou had already opposed a Consupe audit mission. His justification was that the same institution had already carried out a six-year-long (2012-2017) audit to review his firm's management of the three concerned companies since 2006. The report of that audit mission was sent to the special criminal court but Lazare Atou claimed it was full of spurious mismanagement accusations.
For Lazare Atou, only the interministerial task force - created on February 14, 2017, by the Prime Minister to review the management and suggest measures for the completion of the liquidation procedure - is legal and credible to gather information on the companies' assets.

Q: Is there any way to automatically generate java classes from Neo4j graph database In my application, we choosen Neo4j as database. We have designed the database with all the required nodes and relationships. We are trying to integrate the in our springboot java program with reactive neo4j repository. Now we are planning to create equivalent entities.
Is there any way to automatically generate java classes from Neo4j graph database which will be equivalent to @Node and @RelationshipProperties used entities as we create manually.

A: No there is no tool for this and this is in general a good thing when it comes to "complex" data in the graph.
Spring Data Neo4j (6) does only fetch the relationships and properties of a node that you define in your model.
If you would map your graph 1:1 you might end up with ones you do not need. They will pollute your code base and create unnecessary long Cypher statements / data transfers.
I would say that there is -in contrast to the usage of RDBMS- a lot of "shared database" usage in the graph world.
The partial match of a domain model in the application to the graph model is no exception here.
Also a tool that blindly converts your data into a model can only make assumptions.
E.g. multiple labels: You can define them in multiple ways depending on your use-case in Spring Data Neo4j.
But which one is the right one for the tool?
This can produce code that is not your desired outcome and you would have to manually refactor it after creation.
Imagine having such a tool in a build chain: You would have to manually fine-tune the resulting model over and over again.

"Winter's Bone" December Book Discussion Book Now Available
"Winter's Bone" by Daniel Woodrell, is now available for check out to all patrons participating in the December Book Discussion! Copies are available at the front desk.
"The sheriff's deputy at the front door brings hard news to Ree Dolly. Her father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date.
Ree's father has disappeared before. The Dolly clan has worked the shadowy side of the law for generations, and arrests (and attempts to avoid them) are part of life in Rathlin Valley. But the house is all they have, and Ree's father would never forfeit it to the bond company unless something awful happened. With two young brothers depending on her and a mother who's entered a kind of second childhood, Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive, or else see her family turned out into the unforgiving cold.
Sixteen-year-old Ree, who has grown up in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks, learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. She perseveres past obstacles of every kind and finally confronts the top figures in the family's hierarchy.
Along the way to a shocking revelation, Ree discovers unexpected depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost."


The NHS and Public Health in England will start a major national initiative to prevent illness by unveiling the first ever at-scale National NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme.
Alison Bloomer and Eve Batt report back from the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2015.
The programme aims to significantly reduce the four million people in England otherwise expected to have type 2 diabetes by 2025. It is estimated that a big proportion of type 2 diabetes could be prevented, and England will be the first country to implement a national evidence-based diabetes prevention programme at scale, delivering on the commitment set out in the NHS Forward View and PHE's Evidence into Action last year.
Well-designed randomised controlled trials in Finland, the USA, Japan, China and India show 30–60% reductions in type 2 diabetes incidence over three years in adults at high risk through intensive lifestyle change programme interventions. If the national programme could replicate this success, it could save tens of thousands of lives in the future and millions of pounds for the NHS.
The new NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme will initially target up to 10,000 people at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, with national roll-out thereafter.
Seven innovative 'demonstrator' sites around the country have been chosen to take part in the initial phase of the programme during which they will see more patients, monitor and test their local programmes help co-design and implement the national programme.
They are: Birmingham South and Central CCG; Bradford City CCG; Durham County Council; Herefordshire CCG/LA; Medway CCG/LA; Salford CCG/LA and Southwark Council and CCG. Their local schemes include drives on: weight loss, physical activity, cooking and nutrition, peer support plus telephone and on line support from trained professionals.
The diabetes 'demonstrator' sites will test innovative ways to pinpoint those people who have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes including for example via the NHS Health Check. In Bradford, for example, they have a programme to target everyone who is South Asian and aged 25 plus.
These sites will be supplemented with a national framework procurement for these prevention services, and a Prior Information Notice will be issued this month to formally notify potential providers about this.
PHE Chief Executive Duncan Selbie said: "Despite type 2 diabetes being largely preventable, 2.5million people in England already have the disease with another 9.6m at high risk of developing it.
PHE is also working with Imperial College Hospitals where we have started a bespoke weight loss pilot scheme for NHS staff which could provide a blueprint for national roll out.
The £134,000 pilot scheme offers the Trust's 10,000 staff an opportunity to access expert help from a range of dieticians, clinicians and the weightmanagement company MoreLife.
Barbara Young, Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, said: "We are delighted to be a part of the National Diabetes Prevention Programme and welcome the fact that people most at risk of developing type 2 diabetes will be given effective evidence based support to help them reduce that risk.

Syrian Rebel Group Ahrar al-Sham Executes Christians in "Liberated" Idlib
By Patrick Poole 2015-04-01T18:53:04
A report from a Christian human rights group in Syria claims that the Syrian rebel group Ahrar al-Sham (Free Men of Syria) executed two Christian men for violating Islamic law after the capture of the city of Idlib last week. Idlib is a regional capital in northwest Syria.
MCN News reported yesterday:
According to the Assyrian Observatory for Human Rights in the city of Idlib in northern Syria, an armed group called Ahrar al-Sham Islamic Movement executed two citizens in the city Tuesday, Elias Naguib, 83, and his son, Nael Elias, 44. The two citizens were owners of a liquor store. The incident took place on Saturday, March 28, 2015, in the city of Idlib in northern Syria.
Remarkably, the New York Times erroneously reported on Sunday that Jabhat al-Nusra had been responsible for the killings, and that Ahrar al-Sham had set up checkpoints to protect Christians in the newly "liberated" city:
Tensions are already evident in Idlib over the treatment of Christians, a bellwether issue. Two activists, who asked not to be identified out of fear for their safety, said that foreign fighters from Nusra had killed two Christians after hearing they worked in a liquor store.
They said that fighters from Ahrar al-Sham had rebuked the foreigners and set up checkpoints to protect Christians from them.
Abdullah Mohamad Al-Muhaisini, a Saudi Islamic law jurist traveling with the fighters, used Twitter to construct a complex argument against killing Christians who do not resist.
Not killing Christians is apparently a "complex" issue. But NYT reporter Anne Barnard took to Twitter yesterday to correct the record and clarify that Ahrar al-Sham was being fingered for the killings:
Nusra foreigners killed 2 Idlib Christians for liquor store; locals told us. Update: today others blame Ahrar al-Sham http://t.co/TUlDrbtU5B
— Anne Barnard (@ABarnardNYT) March 31, 2015
Reuters reported earlier today on an audio released by the head of Jabhat al-Nusra, Abu Muhammad al-Golani, promising to bring Islamic law to Idlib:
AlQaeda in Syria signals sharia law for captured city of Idlib http://t.co/u7zuXDiKpb "Allah willing they will enjoy the justice of sharia"
— Patrick Poole (@pspoole) April 1, 2015
What makes the reported role of Ahrar al-Sham in these executions noteworthy is that the group has been the darling of the Washington D.C. foreign-policy think-tank community.
As I noted here at PJ Media a few weeks ago, in January 2014 former Bush and Obama administration officials took to the pages of Foreign Affairs, the magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, to debate "The Good and Bad of Ahrar al-Sham," contending that the U.S. needed to "befriend" the Syrian jihadist group as some kind of counter to more extreme jihadist groups, like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra, and deeming this jihadist group, "an Al Qaeda affiliate worth befriending":
Yet, Ahrar al-Sham joined forces with Jabhat al-Nusra in the taking of Idlib. As I previously noted, at the time they wrote this, one of Ahrar al-Sham's top leaders was a lieutenant for al-Qaeda head Ayman al-Zawahiri who openly declared himself a member of al-Qaeda. After most of their leadership was wiped out in a bombing in September, they gravitated closer to the jihadist groups they were supposed to counter and their positions have been bombed by the U.S. – much to the consternation of other "vetted moderate" rebel groups.
The jihadist takeover of the important city of Idlib gives additional evidence that the war encouraged by the Obama administration and the bipartisan DC think-tank cheerleaders is most likely far from over, compounding the misery of the Syrian people all around.
And while the execution of these two Christians is just a drop in the ocean of blood spilled in this conflict, that the crime was committed by the darlings of the DC think-tank community demonstrates that those who encouraged befriending "moderate Al-Qaeda" either: 1) have no earthly idea what they're doing or whom they're supporting, or; 2) have no reservations about supporting objective evil.

The partnership between Marvel and anime studio Madhouse keeps chugging along, with anime versions of Marvel characters being released direct to video alongside the big-budget theatrical flicks. With the Black Widow character prominently featured in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, she gets her own starring role in Avengers Confidential: Black Widow/Punisher.
Black Widow (Jennifer Carpenter, Dexter) and psycho vigilante the Punisher (Brian Bloom, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) are both on the trail of an arms dealer. Punisher wants the guy dead, but Black Widow knows this could be the key to uncovering a secret criminal organization called Leviathan. It takes some convincing, but S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (John Eric Bentley, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) agrees to let the Punisher go after the bad guys, but only if Black Widow joins him, to keep him under control. Now, Black Widow and Punisher are reluctant allies as they unravel Leviathan's sinister plot.
For those who've been hoping for a Black Widow solo movie, here you go. It's not going to replace The Avengers in anyone's mind, but those who liked the big-screen version can jump right into this one without having to read tons of comics beforehand. It's mostly the "movie version" of Black Widow. She's a superspy with a mysterious past. With that foreknowledge, viewers can dive right on in with the punching and kicking and not have to worry about continuity or such. It's a version of the character that's simplified without being dumbed down. A big part of the plot has to do with Black Widow reconnecting and then being betrayed by someone from her past. It doesn't quite work because we've never seen this person before, but it reinforces how Widow has changed, and how she's haunted by her dark past.
Here's the thing about the Punisher: he's a one-note character and always will be. Every Punisher story succeeds or fails based on what characters Punny runs into on his adventures. Here, he's surrounded by the S.H.I.E.L.D. crew, whose heroic speeches about the greater good bounce right off the Punisher. Without powers or high-tech gadgets, the Punisher is left with his singular drive to wipe out the bad guy. He's a killer and he's OK with that, showing no remorse or apologies for what he does. Contrast this with Black Widow, who has done awful things in the past and now hopes to make up for them. Even though most of the movie is these two fighting henchmen, their philosophical differences add just enough character work to keep things interesting.
The action scenes really excel with the martial arts fighting. Black Widow is given a sense of real speed and athleticism, and, being anime, it features several slow-mo shots of her leaping through the air. The Punisher is given a few nice fighting moves as well, in addition to his usual shoot-everything manner. With the Avengers name in the title, you'll be glad to know that Earth's mightiest heroes do show up at the end, including your favorites from the movie—and a few others more familiar to comic book obsessives. Some might wonder why the Avengers are barely in this Avengers movie, but I'm perfectly happy to have Black Widow front and center. Also worth noting is that D-list Marvel hero Amadeus Cho (Eric Bauza, Ben 10 Omniverse) makes his first appearance in media other than comics. As a wacky teen genius, he provides both exposition and comic relief.
One downside to the animation is that the backgrounds all look alike. No matter where the characters are, it's all a variation on the "high-tech base" thing. When the characters talked about travelling to Madripoor, I got all excited, because this is a well-known setting from the comics, but it ended up being just another high-tech base. Not having a real sense of where the characters are makes the action feel generic after a time. Putting these great characters into distinctive environments would have made the movie a far richer experience.
Avengers Confidential: Black Widow/Punisher (Blu-ray) offers up a stellar presentation, as expected from a recently made 'toon. Colors pop and the animation is smooth and fluid on this 1.78:1/1080p HD transfer. The DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track is decent, but not quite as booming or immersive as one might expect during the big action. In terms of bonus material, there are two featurettes: one in which the creators discuss their fondness for Black Widow and Punisher; the other is more of that with some behind-the-scenes info as well. There's also a conceptual art gallery, a DVD copy, and a digital download.
A nice side dish to the Marvel main course, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow/Punisher is a fun and breezy jaunt through the Marvel universe, especially for those who want more Black Widow action.

Strategic Business Plan


Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) systems or air exchangers allow a home to maintain high indoor air quality without excessive additional energy costs. HRV systems consist of two separate air-handling systems; one collects and exhausts stale indoor air; the other draws in outdoor air and distributes it throughout the home. As the exhaust and outdoor air streams pass through the HRV, heat from the exhaust air is used to pre-heat the outdoor air stream. Only the heat is transferred; the two air streams remain physically separate. This dramatically reduces the energy needed to heat outdoor air to a comfortable temperature. HRV provides fresh air and improved climate control while also saving energy by reducing heating and cooling requirements for many applications.

PAHO launches virtual course on suicide prevention for primary healthcare workers
The course seeks to improve the identification, evaluation, management and monitoring of suicidal behavior in order to prevent suicide and save lives
Washington D.C. 7 September 2018 (PAHO/WHO) – The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) will launch a virtual course, Preventing self-harm/suicide: Empowering primary healthcare providers, in celebration of World Suicide Prevention Day, which will take place on 10 September.
Around 100,000 people commit suicide each year in the Americas, and it is estimated that for each suicide that occurs, there are more than 20 attempts. Suicide can occur at any age and it is the third highest cause of death among young people between the ages of 20 and 24 in the region.
The course, which is free, self-directed and available in English on PAHO's Virtual Campus for Public Health, seeks to strengthen the capacities of primary healthcare professionals in identifying, evaluating and improving the approach towards suicidal behaviors in patients. Interested parties can access the course from 17 September when the platform is made available to the general public.
"Suicide can be prevented and primary healthcare personnel have an important role to play in the prevention, early detection and management of suicidal behavior," said Claudina Cayetano, Regional Advisor on Mental Health at PAHO.
It is estimated that most people who commit suicide visit a primary healthcare provider one month before their death. This means that "the early detection of people with suicidal behavior, and the effective management of this is essential to ensuring they receive the timely care they require," added Cayetano.
The course is divided into seven modules and is based on the World Health Organization's (WHO) Intervention Guide for Mental, Neurological and Substance Use Disorders (mhGAP-IG). This guide includes evidence-based interventions to identify and manage priority mental health disorders including self-inflicted injuries and suicide at the first level of health care.
Introduction to self-harm and suicide, clinical presentations, the assessment, monitoring and prevention strategies are some of the topics to be addressed during the online training.
Knowledge about suicidal behavior has increased exponentially in recent decades yet suicide continues to be a low priority when it comes to public health actions. It is expected that the new course will lead to more health personnel in the region that are trained in the early identification of mental health problems and in the prevention of suicide.
Virtual seminar on suicide prevention
On World Suicide Prevention Day, which will take place on Monday 10 September at 10:00 a.m. (Washington D.C. time), PAHO will hold a virtual seminar to launch the new course on the prevention of self-harm and suicide. The course will be available in English on 17 September, and later in Spanish. Upon completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate from PAHO.

Our know-how / Steadily expanding our expertise in the field of minimum quantity lubrication Steadily expanding our expertise in the field of minimum quantity lubrication
For this purpose, Blaser invested in a new GROB machine and converted it to minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). A holistic approach that takes into consideration all parameters involved in the process is typical. That is why Blaser also works with different partners, for example EMUGE.
Thread forming at the GROB with tools from EMUGE
A metalworking fluid manufacturer interested in (or using) MQL—isn't that a contradiction?
For Blaser Swisslube, metalworking fluid and minimum quantity lubrication go hand in hand. What may sound a little strange to some, is normal for the Swiss family business. "We are committed to providing our customers with measurable added value in the field of cutting and grinding fluid and lubricant solutions. Whether it's with a suitable cutting and grinding fluid or with a minimum quantity lubricant matched to the process," explains Marc Blaser, CEO of Blaser Swisslube. In order to expand expertise in the field of MQL, a GROB G550 machine was purchased this year, which was specifically modified for MQL production. "We are looking to develop steadily, and better understand the fields of activity in MQL. To this end, we work closely with partners," he concludes.
Competence in minimum quantity lubrication
When using MQL, the entire process has to be taken into consideration. Significant progress has been made in the field of MQL over recent years, which also presents metalworking fluid manufacturers with the challenge of developing products specially suited for this purpose. Given the appropriate machining processes and the right implementation, Blaser Swisslube sees huge potential in MQL. Conversion to MQL requires adaptation of tools and process parameters. However, many users lack experience with MQL processes, which can be compensated for by the involvement of experts and the knowledge of tool, equipment and metalworking fluid suppliers. With the machine converted to MQL, Blaser Swisslube can compare applications and materials with MQL, cutting and grinding oils and water-miscible coolants, and build up practical process knowledge. We want to provide answers to our customers' questions – including in the field of MQL," says Tobias Mathys, Process Engineering Manager at Blaser Swisslube.
The GROB G550 converted to MMS at the Blaser Swisslube Technology Center
Process development with EMUGE
A project with EMUGE started in early 2019. The aim of the research was to gain knowledge in the field of thread forming in steel alloys in terms of the cutting forces in correlation with the MQL product used. For this purpose, threads were formed with a tool from EMUGE, often found in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Blaser Swisslube employee evaluating the data
Not all materials are suitable for forming due to their material properties. Materials suitable for forming must have a tensile strength of less than 1400 N/mm2 at an elongation of at least 5%. "The differences between the various materials and alloys are enormous. Our aspiration as an MQL partner is to know the optimal process window for our MQL solutions," adds Tobias Mathys. "The torque depends on the factors material, lubrication, prefabrication diameter, thread dimension, geometry and also tool coating. Thanks to the high quality standards of EMUGE tools and the comprehensive process knowledge of their technologists, we have been able to develop a reproducible test method. This method allows us to make statements about our products and their area of application," concludes Tobias Mathys.

Q: How to filter fetched JSON data? I'm trying to make a simple command that pulls info from imgur, finds the images, and from there randomly decides which photo to show. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to filter the responses based on certain criteria. Here is the relevant code:
  async execute(interaction) {
    const data = await fetch(
      `https://imgur.com/r/${
        subreddits[Math.floor(Math.random() * subreddits.length)]
      }/hot.json`
    )
      .then((response) => response.json())
      .then((body) => body.data)

    const filtered = await data.filter(
      (element) => element.animated == "false"
    );
    console.log(filtered);
    const selected = data[Math.floor(Math.random() * data.length)];
    await interaction.reply({
      content: `https://imgur.com/${selected.hash}${selected.ext.replace(
        /\?.*/,
        ""
      )}`,
    });
  }

As you can see, I tried filtering the data based on the animated boolean that is present on each JSON element. False means it is not animated, hence it is an image. But the filtered value just returns an empty array []. I'm not sure why it's not passing all of the filtered (image) values as json data. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Here is one of the multiple elements of JSON info that goes into data. Imagine this but 20x from different posts:
{
    id: 5987473707,
    hash: 'jV66SOE',

    section: 'kittens',
    nsfw: false,
    prefer_video: false,
    video_source: null,
    video_host: null,
    num_images: 1,
    in_gallery: false,
    favorited: false,
    adConfig: {
      safeFlags: [Array],
      highRiskFlags: [],
      unsafeFlags: [],
      wallUnsafeFlags: [],
      showsAds: true
    }
  }

A: The value in the JSON is false, not "false". Just replace == "false" with === false. The loose equals doesn't work on booleans as javascript sees "false" as a non-empty string, which gets converted to true.

Title : The Effect of Spinach Consumption on the Incidence of Anemia in Pregnant Women
Abstract : Pregnant women are one of the groups most vulnerable to nutritional problems such as anemia. Anemia is an abnormality in the number of erythrocytes that carry oxygen into the body and are insufficient to meet the organism's needs. This study aims to determine the effect of spinach consumption on the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. This type of research is a Quasi Experiment using the One Group Pretest Posttest design, which was carried out at the Lamongan Health Center on July 01 - August 30, 2022. The population in this study was pregnant women who had their pregnancy checked from July 01 - August 30, 2022, as many as 186 people. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling using purposive sampling. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate analysis. Bivariate analysis was performed with the normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk test and statistical tests using the paired T-test. The results of this study obtained paired T-test Sig (2- tailed) 0.000. The p-value is 0.000 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that spinach consumption has a significant effect on the incidence of anemia in pregnant women.

In informatica lo Gnome sort (soprannominato stupid sort) è un algoritmo di ordinamento molto simile all'insertion sort da cui, però, differisce per il fatto che lo spostamento di un elemento nella sua posizione corretta è eseguito mediante una serie di scambi, come nel Bubble sort. Lo Gnome sort è molto semplice e non richiede cicli nidificati. Il tempo di esecuzione è O(n2), ma tende verso  O(n) se la lista iniziale è parzialmente ordinata. In pratica l'algoritmo può risultare veloce quanto l'Insertion sort.

Lo Gnome sort trova sempre la prima posizione in cui 2 elementi adiacenti sono in ordine errato e li scambia. L'algoritmo si avvantaggia del fatto che l'esecuzione di uno scambio può disordinare una coppia ordinata di elementi adiacenti solo appena dopo o appena prima i due elementi scambiati. Lo Gnome sort non controlla che gli elementi posti dopo la posizione corrente siano ordinati per cui necessita soltanto di controllare la posizione immediatamente precedente gli elementi scambiati.

Pseudocodice
Ecco una implementazione in pseudocodice dello Gnome sort:

 procedure gnomeSort( a : lista di elementi da ordinare)
     pos ← 0
     while pos < length(a)
         if ( pos = 0 ) or ( a[pos] >= a[pos - 1] ) then
             pos ← pos + 1
         else
             swap ( a[pos], a[pos - 1] )
             pos ← pos - 1

Esempio
Data una lista non ordinata a composta dagli elementi [5, 3, 2, 4], lo Gnome sort dovrebbe eseguire, durante il ciclo, i seguenti passaggi (la "posizione corrente" è segnata in grassetto):

Ottimizzazioni
Lo Gnome sort può essere ottimizzato introducendo una variabile in cui memorizzare la posizione corrente prima di iniziare a scorrere all'indietro la lista fino al suo inizio. Essa permetterà allo "gnomo" di ritrovare la sua posizione precedente  dopo lo spostamento di un vaso da fiori. Con questa modifica lo Gnome sort diventa una variante dell'Insertion sort.

  procedure gnomeSort( A : lista di elementi da ordinare)
   i ← 1
   j ← 2
   while i <= length(a) - 1
     if a[i - 1] <= a[i] then
         i ←j
         j ← j + 1
     else
         swap ( a[i - 1] , a[i] )
         i ← i - 1
         if i = 0
           i ← 1

Curiosità

Originariamente proposto con il nome di Stupid Sort da Hamid Sarbazi-Azad fu successivamente ripreso da Dick Grune e presentato con il nome di Gnome sort. Il suo nome deriva dal supposto modo con cui gli gnomi da giardino ordinano una fila di vasi da fiori:

1. You do your thing; I do mine and sometimes it involves me playing drums.
2. Having to be put in a financial situation that forces me to sell my cymbals–the tools of my trade– is what's been on my mind on and off all day.
3. Remember when you had extra money in the bank, and enough savings where you could have your own "snare drum fund"?
5. During the last year my outlook has really gone into the tank.
6. Playing the drums with friends puts a smile on my face.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to playing the drums at The Black Bull, tomorrow my plans include playing the drums at a Kiwanis picnic and playing the drums at a wedding, and Sunday, I want to play the drums in evening church!
Gee, I wish I could somehow make exercise one of my obsessions, too. I think I'm more obsessed with relaxing! Not good for the aging bod.
Hope you have a great (percussive) weekend!
Someone has drums on the brain! Enjoy. BTW… back in the day I was a percussionist too!
I do hope you won't get into a situation that you'll have to sell your drums. Hey, when you get the rhythm, working out isn't bad after all:) I do miss my father too. It's still difficult to think about him.
i wish I could get up and go ahead with starting my workout too..
Hope you won't have to sell your cymbals.
Would want to start exercising as well. Hope I would and be consistent with it.
now this reminds me so much of my dream of having a drum set of my own back then, haha!

Clarke County superintendent hospitalized with COVID-19
Lee Shearer
lshearer@onlineathens.com
Clarke County Interim School Superintendent Xernona Thomas is recovering at home after being hospitalized with COVID-19.
Personal medical information is private under state and federal law, but Thomas made her illness public, according to an announcement from Beth Moore, the school district's communications manager.
A number of other school district employees who had been in contact with Thomas have been tested for COVID and are in self-isolation, she said.
Moore said Thomas is now "resting comfortably at home."
Thomas was absent from last week's marathon school board meeting of more than seven hours, much of which was taken up with public input critical of the school district's reopening plans. As in other area school systems, many parents, teachers and other workers believe the school district's plans to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when school resumes are weak.
As in most other Georgia counties, the rate of COVID-19 infection has been rising sharply in Clarke County over the past several weeks. Clarke has now recorded more than 1,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 15 deaths and 73 hospitalizations as of Tuesday, according to the state Department of Public Health. Most infections have not caused serious illness.
The Clarke County Board of Education has scheduled a special meeting for Thursday night and may vote to delay the beginning of the school year until Sept. 8, the day after Labor Day.
As of now, classes are scheduled to begin Aug. 3.
The school district has also postponed parent registration for either in-person or distance learning for their children,pending Thursday's decision on when classes will begin, and will also schedule virtual town hall meetings between school administrators and parents. More information on school district planning is at the school district website, clarke.k12.ga.us.
"I am humbled and grateful for the outpouring of love and prayers from this community," Thomas said in a press release. "We have an enormous responsibility to identify the safest manner to return staff and students to our buildings. My own experience has helped the team recognize the challenges that accompany the pandemic."
People should wear masks, practice social distancing and thoroughly wash their hands, Thomas said.
The Clarke school board named Thomas interim superintendent in December after placing Superintendent Demond Means on administrative leave.

As bonfire night approaches and the fireworks season begins people are often concerned about how their animal companions will be affected. I often get asked what people can do to help their animal companions at this time, so I thought I would share an animal communication perspective.
Every animal has its own unique sensitivity and response to sound like we do. In our family this is illustrated by the mixed response that the vacuum cleaner gets with the cats ! Some dash off to find a quiet place at the sound of it coming out of the cupboard. Others carry on snoozing in their favourite spot and don't twitch a whisker whilst it is used around them. Much to my amusement one of the boys follows it around, watching it with intrigue, as if ready to pounce!
How we respond to a situation can also impact how an animal responds. This is because animals are constantly sensing our feelings. Take the situation with the cats and the vacuum for example. By responding to one of the cats that is hiding by seeking them out with 'are you ok? don't be afraid' I can worsen things. This is because I am adding my feelings of concern or fear, about how they have responded, to the situation. The animal receives this feeling from me as a confirmation that there is something to be fearful of. Their response may be to retreat further into their hiding place, to which I may respond to with concern. Again they feel this concern and it fuels their reaction. This is what I call a 'fear fire'. The feelings pass back and forth between the person and the animal, growing in intensity as they do.
We experience this passing back and forth of feelings in our interactions with people on a day to day basis, although we are sometimes not aware of it. We might use the phrase their 'mood rubbed off on me' if how we are feeling changes after having spoken with someone.
So with the situation with the cat that has gone into hiding if I just let them be and leave them I am not fueling their feelings. Without my involvement or reaction to the situation I am not adding my 'fear to the fire'. If I am ok with the situation they will feel that. In addition by actively choosing peaceful feelings it can help them to relax and let go of their fear. In such a situation peaceful feelings can be like pouring water on the 'fear fire'.
Feelings can be felt over distances. That's why you sometimes know that someone is about to call or text you. So you don't have to be in the same room as your animals for them to benefit from your peaceful feelings.
Make sure there is somewhere that they can go to feel 'safe' if they choose to. If they go there then let them be. Avoid fussing them.
Be aware of how you are feeling and the feelings you are sending out.
Practice allowing yourself to feel peaceful – for a simple technique check out my blog on 'being in the moment'.
Choose messages that are supportive and positive such as 'all is well', 'we are all calm and peaceful'.
Change your focus from the fireworks and noises to something that you can become engrossed in – music you enjoy, a film you love, a hobby that really engages you.
With awareness of how we are feeling and by choosing to project supportive and positive feelings we can help our animal companions (and us) to have a calmer bonfire night!


Students come together in small groups to study God's Word and discover how it can be applied to our lives in a practical way. Bible studies are led by adult workers who are fully committed to care for and teach students to walk with Christ. This is a great place for students to connect with other students, connect with caring adults, and connect with God through His word. Student Life Groups meet on Sunday mornings at 9am. See the list of Life Groups here.
Our Fairview Students enjoy camps, retreats, and other youth trips. For a current list of our youth trips or for more information, please visit our Church Calendar or Upcoming Events pages or contact us.
MFuge is a mission based camp for students. During the week, students will branch out to different sites and interact with folks in the community. Students work very hard, but they also get to spend time in worship with other youth and end the week with an epic challenge amongst their different groups. It is a chance for youth to be introduced to missions and all that is involved. The cost for MFuge is $350 per student, a sibling discount will apply. Click on the link below to enroll.
We have a lot of fun things planned for this Spring and Summer and we are not done! Click here to see the list and to sign up for Graduate Recognition and to attend a Holly Springs Salamanders game.

#2151: Willa Cather to Roscoe Cather, [June 23, 1939]
Don't return—he5 writes every few months—now jollying, now threatening. Old dodo!
Telephone Fischer for Pando Sherry6
My lawyer7 thinks he can hold this fellow down. Four of the stories8 in his "Table of Contents" I never wrote at all. Composite work of the Weekly theme class, U. of N.9
Not at all: he wants to make a book & write a preface!
I am perpetually annoyed by things like this. Most of the stuff he got together were college English themes—not copyrighted because they were given to cheap magazines10 by another English teacher who wanted to advertise his department
He is one of a dozen—They all want to "publish a book" and write a wise preface—about my poor old school themes!
FROM CATHER 570 PARK AVE3., NEW YORK CITY2 Mr. R. C. Cather,1 First Savings Bank of Colusa, Colusa,4 California. NEW YORK, N. Y. STA Y2 JUN 23 1939 1230 PM Personal

Includes one enclosed two-page letter from Edward Wagenknecht to Willa Cather with handwritten notes from Willa Cather on the document.
A fine sherry produced by Bodegas Williams Humbert in Spain.
In #1432, Cather identifies two of the stories whose inclusion she objects to: "On the Divide" and "El Dorado: A Kansas Recessional."
Cather's professor Herbert Bates sent her first published story, "Peter," to a literary journal published by a friend called The Mahogany Tree in 1892.
Wagenknecht, Edward (1900-2004). American writer, teacher, and critic. Born and raised in the Chicago, IL, area, Edward Wagenknecht received an M.A. (1924) and Ph.D. (1932) from the University of Chicago. He spent most of his career as a university professor at Boston University, from which he retired in 1965. Both before and after his retirement, he was a prolific author with a focus on cultural history, literary criticism, and biography. Before corresponding with Cather about her early uncollected short fiction, he had published biographies of Geraldine Farrar (1929) (who was a personal friend), Charles Dickens (1929), Jenny Lind (1931), and Mark Twain (1935). He included a chapter on Cather in his Cavalcade of the American Novel (1952), and his last published book was the critical monograph Willa Cather (1994).
Lesser, Joseph (1901-1989). Treasurer of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. Born in Poland, Joseph Lesser immigrated to the United States with his family in 1906, and he became a naturalized American citizen. He and his wife, Eva, and their children lived in Brooklyn, NY. He served for many years as treasurer of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. His office prepared Cather's tax returns for her, and in her will Cather named him as a potential successor to Edith Lewis as her literary executor. Lesser died in Hallandale, FL.


I'm dying to get into Hamline in Minnesota, and am therefore knitting my Minnesota Scarf of Optimism. Second choice is Naropa. Either way, I need to be where it's cold and literary.
I got into Hamline. I got into Naropa, too, but chose to go to Minnesota. I met Zach very shortly after I moved there, and we moved in together shortly after that. We got engaged, then we got married, then we had two kids. We live in a suburb of Seattle. I write when I can, and we play, and there's preschool and play dates and I read for twenty minutes at night before I fall asleep, totally exhausted.
But what if I'd chosen Naropa? It would have been such a small thing to do in 2009 – just a matter of making one choice instead of the other. But it would have changed everything. Naropa is in Colorado, and it's Ginsberg's school. They offer yoga classes, and the students there write outside on blankets. It's a school of Beat Poets long after the Beat Generation. What if I'd gone? No Zach, no Maddie or Simon, probably no Seattle. What would I write about? I wouldn't be writing children's lit, because Naropa doesn't specialize in children's lit. Hamline does, and that's where I learned that I love writing for children above writing for anyone else. What would I be doing now? Would I have stayed in Colarado? Would I have had other, parallel universe children? Hattie and Clive?
Every single thing in my life hung on that decision six years ago, and I'd had no idea. What a crazy thing.

The Benefits of Collective Bargaining for Women: A Case Study of Morocco
Download PDF 3.42 MB
Morocco is hardly unique in its treatment of agricultural workers; generally underpaid, farm workers toil in an informal economy often without benefits, in harsh conditions, and are denied opportunities for advancement. Amid this cohort, women farm workers experience these injustices, along with sexual assault and sex-based discrimiatnion, to a far greater extent than men. They are also generally responsible for maintaining their households--in effect, a second and unpaid job that makes the need for delineation of and respect for their rights in the farm sector all the more pressing. Yet the plight of farm workers--and the women among them--is not a foregone conclusion. In 2015 in Morocco, the Confédération Démocratique du Travail (CDT), a union, negotiated a landmark collective bargaining agreement in the agricultural sector that sought to formalize and guarantee worker protections and to create a more transparent and effective chain of responsibility.
What's in the Report
"We benefited from a freedom and independence we didn't have before the union. The union freed us a lot and increased our dignity."
A seasonal female farm work in Morocco.
The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) and Solidarity Center, an international workers' rights group, lays out the reasons a CBA was needed. In particular they examine it insofar as it pertains to women workers in the wine and olive oil sector in Morocco's Meknes region; indeed, women make up a quarter of Morocco's labor force, but account for nearly half of the workers in the agricultural sector and though the country has labor laws that govern wages and the number of hours a person can legally work, they are not enforced.
Researchers conducted interviews with farm workers, union and management representatives as well as with those from the government sector to ascertain the concrete gains made by this agreement and the feelings toward it from these different stakeholders. They also considered how the affect of women's involvement in the bargaining process impacted outcomes.
The gains the CBA achieved are remarkable. Foremost among them was the elimination of a wage gap between full-time men and women workers who do equal work. Similarly notable was the elimination of pregnancy and maternity-related discrimination. Whereas there was no maternity leave before the agreement, new mothers now receive a three-month leave, a delivery allowance, and, once back on the job, a daily one-hour break to breastfeed for two years. The agreement furthermore entitles fathers to three days paternity leave. Both men and women farmworkers told report investigators that wages are more transparent and stable in the post-CBA era; they now get regular weekends off, some holidays, and are entitled to time off for family emergencies and illness. Processes for interaction with management have been standardized, and a line of communication between unions, their members, their employers, and government officials has been opened.
Though the CBA made significant strides, the union hopes to broaden its gains when it comes up for renegotiation this year by codifying rights for seasonal workers, attaining provisions for childcare, and increasing the number of training opportunities, for example, that would allow women workers to advance to more complicated and better-compensated tasks and responsibilities. That said, the advances enumerated in the report belie a less quantifiable but equally critical outcome articulated therein--of restoring to workers a sense of freedom, respect and dignity in the workplace.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] ? Researchers from Brown University and other institutions have developed a computational computer model of how brain tumors grow and evolve.
The model is the product mathematical formulas based on the first principals of physics, such as conservation of mass, and it has allowed researchers to recreate tumor growth in a computer. Through subsequent repetitive testing against real tumors, they have also linked their computerized tumors to real-world brain tumors, or "gliomas," and can now watch tumor growth on a computer screen.
Creating such a model is significant because it could help design specific, targeted treatments for individualized therapy. There is no cure for gliomas, which can kill quickly, often within 15 months of diagnosis. Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy announced a year ago that he was suffering from this type of tumor, a malignant glioma of the brain.
Details of the research were highlighted at an April meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. The full article is included in the May 15 edition of the journal Cancer Research.
Bearer, who also has faculty appointments in the Division of Engineering and the Department of Music, worked with a number of collaborators on the project, including co-author and Vittorio Christini, a mathematician at the University of Texas.
To conduct the study, Bearer and her collaborators developed a mathematical formula that incorporated a number of equations describing the process of tumor evolution and growth. The master computational model was built on formulas that predict how much oxygen tumor cells consume and the rate of oxygen diffusion, and quantitative measures of cell growth and metabolic rates. The model is a series of interdependent differential equations. Each equation includes variables, or numerical values that can be experimentally manipulated.
For example, to test if oxygen consumption rates influence tumor growth, the values assigned to those rates can be changed and the outcome observed on the computer screen ? not unlike playing a computer game. The result: A three-dimensional matrix of a glioma that can be adjusted to see what its growth stage will be over time, including speed of growth, size and shape.
Researchers validated their computational model with glioma specimens. Bearer studied about 40 different human brain tumor samples. Bryan Kinney, a member of Bearer's lab, obtained the samples from a number of sources, including the Rhode Island Hospital pathology department, the Columbia University Brain Bank and the Cooperative Human Tissue Network, a division of the National Cancer Institute that helps increase access to human cancer tissue for research.
The samples, sliced and sealed in a specimen slide, were as large as a chick pea or as small as the head of a pin. The tumor specimens used in the studies had been removed for diagnosis or surgical treatment of the tumor.
Researchers compared their virtual computational tumor with the actual human brain tumor samples at different stages of tumor evolution. Through many rounds of checking computer output against the real-life tumors, researchers created a computational model that mimicked natural biological tumors in all respects.
They focused specifically on a glioma because it does not invade the body through a basement membrane as epithelial-based cancers do, such as tumors that grow in the colon, breast or prostate. In the brain, tumors grow without having to digest a basement membrane to invade adjacent tissue. A basement membrane is essentially boundary of a given tissue that separates cells from the surrounding connective tissue.
Bearer said she hopes the research will allow doctors to find drug targets for glioma. She also envisions using the computational model to find targets for personalized medical therapies, enabling it to quickly identify molecular targets, and then select from existing treatments or design new treatments to stop the tumor.

Carrie A Harris was 38 years old when Great Depression: In a State of the Union message, U.S. President Herbert Hoover proposes a $150 million (equivalent to $2,197,000,000 in 2017) public works program to help generate jobs and stimulate the economy. The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations; in most countries it started in 1929 and lasted until the late-1930s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how far the world's economy can decline.
Carrie A Harris was 53 years old when World War II: Combat ends in the Pacific Theater: The Japanese Instrument of Surrender is signed by Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and accepted aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
