Emperor Haile Selassie's 1966 visit to Jamaica, Coral Gardens, Kerala and more…
Reflections on Emperor Haile Selassie's 1966 visit to Jamaica, Coral Gardens, Kerala, India with some amazing film footage of the Jamaican visit.
Yesterday was the 45th anniversary of a historic moment in Jamaica. On April 21, 1966 His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia visited Jamaica to a tumultuous welcome, thrillingly captured in the film footage above. The Emperor might not have fully grasped what he meant to the Rastafarian community in Jamaica who regard his birth as the Second Coming itself. The passages below from the Wikipedia entry on him convey a sense of the excitement caused by the diminutive Emperor's arrival in Jamaica:

Haile Selassie visited Jamaica on April 21, 1966, and approximately one hundred thousand Rastafari from all over Jamaica descended on Palisadoes Airport in Kingston,[127] having heard that the man whom they considered to be their Messiah was coming to visit them. Spliffs[130] and chalices[131] were openly[132] smoked, causing "a haze of ganja smoke" to drift through the air.[133][134][135] Haile Selassie arrived at the airport but was unable to come down the mobile steps of the airplane, as the crowd rushed the tarmac. He then returned into the plane, disappearing for several more minutes. Finally, Jamaican authorities were obliged to request Ras Mortimer Planno, a well-known Rasta leader, to climb the steps, enter the plane, and negotiate the Emperor's descent.[136] Planno re-emerged and announced to the crowd: "The Emperor has instructed me to tell you to be calm. Step back and let the Emperor land".[137] This day is widely held by scholars to be a major turning point for the movement,[138][139][140] and it is still commemorated by Rastafarians as Grounation Day, the anniversary of which is celebrated as the second holiest holiday after 2 November, the Emperor's Coronation Day.
From then on, as a result of Planno's actions, the Jamaican authorities were asked to ensure that Rastafarian representatives were present at all state functions attended by His Majesty,[141][142] and Rastafarian elders also ensured that they obtained a private audience with the Emperor,[143] where he reportedly told them that they should not emigrate to Ethiopia until they had first liberated the people of Jamaica. This dictum came to be known as "liberation before repatriation".
Haile Selassie defied expectations of the Jamaican authorities,[144] and never rebuked the Rastafari for their belief in him as the returned Jesus. Instead, he presented the movement's faithful elders with gold medallions – the only recipients of such an honor on this visit.[145][146] During PNP leader (later Jamaican Prime Minister) Michael Manley's visit to Ethiopia in October 1969, the Emperor allegedly still recalled his 1966 reception with amazement, and stated that he felt that he had to be respectful of their beliefs.[147] This was the visit when Manley received the Rod of Correction or Rod of Joshua as a present from the Emperor, which is thought to have helped him to win the 1972 election in Jamaica.
You can see from the numerous images of the Emperor on walls in Kingston, how much he is revered in the poorest of neighbourhoods
I find the film footage of Selassie's arrival in Jamaica and his tour of the Jamaican parliament, the University of the West Indies, Montego Bay and other places in Jamaica tremendously moving. Scholars like Louis Lindsay have claimed that Jamaicans would never recieve African royalty as enthusiastically as they recieved the Queen of England. But the footage above gives the lie to that. It wasn't only at his arrival by plane that throngs descended to get a view of him, everywhere he went in Jamaica vast numbers of excited people turned out to get a sight of his Imperial Majesty.
Curiously Emperor Haile Selassie also visited the land of my birth, Kerala, India, several times, the first time the year i was born, in 1956. No, he didn't come to anoint me but came to see for himself the Orthodox Christians of Kerala, the Syrian Christians as they are known, the community that i happen to have been born into. Abraham Varghese, the author of bestseller God's Own Country described the circumstances of the visit in an Observer article:
Whenever I hear the phrase "geography is destiny" I think of my parents, George and Mariam, schoolteachers from India, arriving in the misty mountain empire of Ethiopia in 1951 within two weeks of each other and not knowing a soul. They were there because another traveller, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, happened to be on a state visit to India shortly after his country was freed from Mussolini's occupation. Haile Selassie, head of an ancient Christian nation surrounded on all sides by Muslim nations, knew of the legend of Saint Thomas's arrival in south India, on Kerala's shores (which took place 1,600 years before the Portuguese brought Catholicism to Goa). Saint Thomas made converts of the Brahmins he encountered. Their descendants, the Syrian Christians (so called because they owed their allegiance to the Church in Antioch) are the community to which my parents belong. The Emperor wanted to see those first churches, and his motorcade happened to drive through Kerala at the hour when the roads were thronged with legions of schoolkids in uniform.
It was that sight, so my parents say, that so impressed Haile Selassie that he hired all 400 of his first batch of teachers for the new schools he was building across the empire from this one state in India. To this day, almost every Ethiopian you meet abroad who is over 40 years of age will tell you that they had an Indian teacher in their school, someone with an Old Testament name such as Thomas, or Jacob, or Zachariah, or Verghese (the latter derived from Giorgis, or George). A change in their geography allowed Mariam Abraham and George Verghese to meet a few weeks after they arrived in Ethiopia and they eventually married. But it all began with what the emperor saw on a morning drive. The world turns on the smallest of things.
Teachers from Kerala are still imported into Ethiopia (one of my cousins taught there for many years) though i don't know if they're greeted with the gift of a gold sovereign anymore, as they used to be when Selassie ruled. Interestingly another Syrian Christian, Paul Verghese, who went on to become a Bishop (the Archbishop of Delhi of the Malankara Orthodox Church of India), was the Emperor's personal aide for several years. In a long article chronicling the career of the Bishop there is an account of the relationship between the Emperor and the young man from Kerala who became his aide. In it I came across the passage below which i'm assuming refers to Jamaica and the Rastafarian community although some of the details seem hard to believe. Was there such a rebellion? Could it be a reference to the Coral Gardens Rebellion of 1963? Who was the Chief who chopped off the head of an orange and supposedly threatened the future Bishop? Will we ever know? At any rate its interesting to see how histories get garbled if not lost in translation:
But the average Ethiopian loved him, adored him, and one sect of people even believed that Hailie Sellassie was their prophet. Hailie Sellassie repeatedly told them that he was only an ordinary human being, but they wouldn't accept it. They insisted that the prophecy specifically said that the prophet would deny that he was the prophet. Everything about Hailie Sellassis's life fit the story of their Prophet. A group of such 'believers' rebelled against their government in an island state. They said that the Governor of that state had no authority over them; only Hailie Sellassie was their god-king. The Emperor sent Paul Verghese to this island state to tell them that Hailie Sellassie wanted them to know that the Emperor was not a prophet, as they had believed. After they heard the emissary, their Chief held an orange and a knife in his hands, chopped off the top of the orange, and threatened the messenger that his head could be chopped off just like that for bringing this 'heresy!' No, the Truth never appeals to blind fanatics! However, Paul Verghese wasn't intimidated. He persisted and negotiated an end to the rebellion against the governor.
The Coral Gardens Rebellion (which happened on Good Friday, 1963), also referred to as the Coral Gardens Massacre because of the Jamaican State's mass detention and torture of Rastafarians in its wake, was the subject of a public lecture yesterday by QC Hugh Small, just emerging from a starring role in the infamous Manatt Commission. It's also the subject of a film called Bad Friday by Deborah Thomas, Junior Wedderburn and John Jackson. Listen to my interview with Deborah Thomas this Sunday at 10 am on The Silo, Newstalk 93 to learn more about Coral Gardens and what took place there nearly 50 years ago. There is also a book by a former policeman, Retired Detective Selbourne Reid, who gives an eyewitness account of the Rebellion.
I wonder if the survivors of the Coral Gardens Massacre, referred to as 'the government-led pogrom' by one testimonial, might have the right to claim compensation/reparation from the Jamaican government in the same way that the surviving Mau-Mau in Kenya are considering suing the UK government for the abuse meted out to them in the 1950s?

Tom Weber says:
Does anyone know if the Winston Rodney credited for sound at the beginning of the clip is THE Winston Rodney, known as Burning Spear? That would be an interesting postscript to Selassie's visit. Probably not, there were probably no Rastas working for Jamaica Information Service in the '60s, but it caught my eye.
That's a sharp observation, a little research is called for to establish identity of the Rodney in question…
it's very unlikely, i'm pretty sure Winston Rodney was still up in St. Ann's – it was a couple of years later in 1969-1970 before he came to Kingston to audition at Studio One at the suggestion of Bob Marley, another St. Ann's native.
i would imagine the name would be a fairly common one in Jamaica.
Nana Farika Berhane (Norma Hamilton) says:
Winston Rodney of the Jamaica Information Service is/was not Burning Spear. I am a Rastafari elder who used to work with the Film Unit of the JIS and knew Winston Rodney, Muir and the crew. I used to be a script writer for JIS Radio and Film.
Thanks so much for clarifying this important point and for visiting my blog!
Don't know if Burning Spear ever did any work in film sound. He would have been about 21 at the time. Franklyn St. Juste is listed on camera, wasn't he a JBC guy back in the '80s?
Those clips are remarkable in many ways. Mortimo Planno's involvement with settling down the crowd at the Kingston airport is conspicuously absent from the coverage.
Fragano Ledgister says:
Chappie would have been the JBC cameraman at the time. By the 80s, as I recall, he was working at CARIMAC.
Franklyn St.Juste was working for the Film Unit of the JIS. He is presently a lecturer at CARIMAC.
Perhaps the unnamed rebellion was the plot in 1959 by the Rastas to hand the country over to Fidel Castro and migrate themselves to Africa. According to Barry Chevannes in Rastafari Exorcism and the Ideology of Racism there was even a kind of guerilla camp in Red Hills where they had been training. They were eventually discovered and charged with treason felony.
you mean the Claudius Henry Rebellion? good guess, perhaps that's what it was but it could also have been the Coral Gardens Rebellion…yes, can you imagine, i find the Henry move fascinating, he wrote a letter to Castro asking him to invade Jamaica. amazing!
That wasn't a plot by 'the Rastas' that was a very specific conspiracy by a small group of people, Claudius Henry and his sons, who were associated with a number of Black Muslims from Harlem. What was notable was their attempt to mobilise Rastas to rise against the British, and their failure to do so.
rf says:
In the documentary 'Coral Gardens – Blowing The Lid' by Colby Graham(www.reggaefilms.co.uk) you get told of how the Rasta's held the whole of Kingston under siege and took over the whole city at one point! maybe this was the rebellion.
The cameraman Franklyn St.Juste AKA Chappie is still working in the Jamaican film industry and has done all his life, you can find him on linked in, or facebook maybe, his sons now work in the industry too. He was one of the first Jamaican cinematographers and worked on many of the early films shot in Jamaica.
I know Chappie well–but the Rastas have never taken over the city of Kingston so that is just not true. but thanks for link to the film by Colby Graham.
Whoever claimed the Rastas took over Kingston may have conflated the Coral Gardens massacre (in Montego Bay) with the Barry Street Riots (in 1965) which had nothing to do with Rastas and the Rodney Riots (which had only marginally to do with Rastas) of 1968. Of course, there is the likelihood that ganja was involved with the production of the film. I've read books written about Rasta which, while well-meaning, contain 'information' that caused me to wonder at exactly how much the author(s) had been smoking.
The Colby Graham film definitely talks shows news articles from the gleaner which talk about how the Rasta's held the town under seige, they headlines on the paper also have the words something like "Town held under seige", the film talks about other things at the time linked to the Coral Gardens event so maybe thats why it's mentioned but it did happen…check the gleaner archives..but i think the paper obviously exagerated the headlines of course, you can imagine a group of rastas moving in on the town armed with machetes but i doubt it was anything more…
Oh there actually were killings but the background was never sufficiently explained, instead Rastafari in general was vilified and the Gleaner would definitely have been one of the main disseminators of the anti-Rasta campaign…thanks for commenting btw…
Coral Gardens had nothing to do at all with Kingston, it's all the way across the island near MoBay. there were only ever 6 antagonists and the attack was confined to the gas station, the Edgewater Inn, and the grounds of nearby Rose Hall….. a pretty small area – they were on foot, after all. allegedly in the week before the attack, the same gas station attendant had doused the ringleader with gas when he asked for a glass of water – the police were summoned and repeatedly shot the Rastaman. however, he survived, and after leaving the hospital plotted his revenge with the other sympathizers.
so, the killings did happen and were precipitated by the incident at the gas station. the government and all levels of Jamaican society at the time regarded Rastafarians as a very dangerous and corrosive subculture and it would not surprise me in the least to see Gleaner headlines of the day sensationalizing the attacks. the police and army routed a number of Rasta settlements all over the north part of the island and arrested hundreds of Rastas who had no involvement at all.
this was at a time just three years after Claudius Henry's failed revolt in 1960, in which two soldiers in Kingston were shot and Henry's cache of arms and the letter to Castro was discovered. Henry's sons and other participants were hanged. nonetheless, while Henry had a large following, there was little support among other Rastafarians for his revolution to be repatriated back to Africa. Jamaica has a long tradition of uprisings and rebellions, so no doubt there was a sense of high anxiety regarding the Rastas and their rejection of society and governance as usual. the anti-Rasta rhetoric lasted well into the 70's, i remember it clearly as a kid.
the battling of the JLP and PNP in West and Central Kingston during the early-mid 60's and evolving gang wars that began in earnest after that held Kingston under seige far more than any Rastafarian "uprising" could ever have hoped to.

Please do whatever you can by posting the petition to have a Statue for Emperor Haile Selassie in AU building by calling people you know or sending emails because if we Ethiopians don't stand up for the facts & our history who will? http://www.change.org/petitions/a-statue-for-emperor-haile-selassie
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Stay Blessed 🙂
Norman Tveit says:
I think that any politically active Rastas in the 1950s who may have supported Castro were doing so only because Castro's socialist rebellion was a reaction to the horrible, organized crime corruption of Cuba by the Batista regime. Ostensibly, Castro offered a new, progressive government for the people of Cuba.
yes I'm sure you're right…and there was a feeling–not unjustified from the point of view of the underclass–that Jamaica was no different from Cuba under Battista…thanks for your comment!

Such a fascinating blog about His Imperial Majesty, and his links with Kerala (which is also my home). I – being a Rastafari from this part of the world, it is great to find out more about Emperor's connection with Kerala.
I have really enjoyed reading your blogs!
Thanks Ajè! Did you say you're a Rasta living in Kerala? is there a community there? this is fascinating–

Good morning! The Red Bulls are back in MLS action today @Columbus and are just one win away from taking over the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls will be looking to extend their MLS unbeaten streak (I believe it's someting like 4 games - 3-0-1) and the Crew will be looking to put that embarrassing mid-week home loss to the lowly Wizards behind them. Brand new Red Bulls Designated Player TH14 will be in attendance at Crew Stadium. He won't be on the field, however, as he's not match ready. With all that in mind, let's get to some predictions.
This has been a huge week for me. Thierry Henry signing with my beloved Red Bulls, DC United losing on a heartbreaking goal in the waning moments of their game against Seattle, third DP rumors abounding and - last but not least - the very real possibility that my jobless days will be short lived.
However wonderful all of this may be, none of it really makes me feel any more confident about our chances this weekend in Columbus, since Henry will not be playing. With the permanently injured Salou missing, we could see Kandji start, or perhaps a Richards/Angel combination with Kandji on the wing. In any case, even though they are probably tired after playing in midweek against Kansas City and will be without Sammy Hagar, I mean Steven Lenhart, the Crew probably have enough weapons to get the job done. So I'll predict a disappointing start to the Henry era, through no fault of his own. Columbus 2 Red Bulls 1.
Honestly, Columbus is the better side. They've been picking apart defenses in MLS all season, including ours in our first match this season. In our favor, our defense has rediscovered its early form, with help from Carlos Mendes, and Columbus may not be at its freshest after their Wednesday night match. Our offense has been troubling, though, as we are still struggling to create chances--I am having dreams of Thierry Henry, like Superman, ripping off his street clothes in the 75th minute to reveal the RBNY kit underneath and taking the pitch to knock home the winner.
Unfortunately, he won't be doing that and the game will end in a 1-1 draw. The Red Bulls will extend their unbeaten streak to six, and their winless streak to three.
After not drawing a match in forever, I am thinking trifecta here. Columbus needs to rebound from a midweek loss to KCW. We need to come back and show something after that drab draw with Baltimore. I think another 1-1 draw will be in order. And for me that will be acceptable. Although a win would be huge. But after Columbus we will let the good times roll with TH and whoever else is coming.
Alrighty then! Well have the usual post game commentary in the next day or two, so check back. Viper Out!

Salah in same bracket as Messi and Ronaldo, says Liverpool team-mate
Updated / Thursday, 26 Apr 2018 08:58
Mo Salah is in outstanding form
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren believes Mohamed Salah has elevated himself into the same bracket as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo this season.
The Egypt international took his tally in an incredible debut season for the Reds to 43 with two goals - as well as two assists - from his best performance of the campaign in the 5-2 Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Roma.
Many bookmakers have now made Salah the joint-favourite to win the Ballon d'Or alongside Real Madrid's five-time winner of the award Cristiano Ronaldo - and Lovren agrees.
"He is the one. He is becoming the superstar. It looks easy what he does but it is very difficult," said the Croatia international.
"If he continues like that - I don't know if this is the right time to put pressure on him - but I believe he should be regarded as one of the best three in the world at the end of the year.
"He deserves to be mentioned for the Ballon d'Or - when people talk about Messi and Ronaldo they should also talk about Salah.
"He deserves the credit but I think he deserves even more to be honest. Forty-three goals guys, f*****g hell."
Salah was central to an exhilarating display on another famous European night but there were numerous other top-class performances with Roberto Firmino, who also scored twice to take his tally to 27, and captain Jordan Henderson also hugely influential.
Anfield was shaken to its foundations by a brilliant 33-minute spell either side of half-time when the rampant Reds scored five goals and Roma looked down and out until two late goals gave them a glimmer of hope for the second leg.
Lovren admits it was a game the players themselves enjoyed as much as the fans.
"To be honest you feel powerful, you feel strong when you look around and see the players next to you," he added.
"We have big names, we don't maybe have lots of 'superstars' but it is not about the name, it is how we perform on the pitch.
"You know how we will react when we don't have the ball and then we will not be afraid of anything else.
"You can see the system working, definitely. Every training session, every game we feel we are more comfortable and more confident.
"We just need to learn from our previous mistakes, we have to be more controlling of the game, that is where we need to improve, but I am pretty confident for the next leg."
Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold admitted he had not played in a more enjoyable game, up to the point when Roma scored.
"It was just free-flowing, there was not a lot of thought going into it and it was natural and that was the main thing for the team. It was unbelievable," he said.
The 19-year-old was at a loss, however, to put into words the quality of Salah's two goals.
"He's a credit to himself. He works hard in training and we see it on a daily basis in training so we're getting used to it," he added.
"It is world-class stuff from him and the whole team to be honest.
"That last finish I think he's done three times in the last few weeks now so maybe keepers are getting on to it but to have that composure in front of goal - he was outside the box when he hit it and running at speed - was an unbelievable finish."

World Distribution Services Opens 2nd Savannah Facility
The 280,000-square-foot facility is located within a quarter mile of WDS's existing Savannah warehouse, and offers services ranging from retail fulfillment and distribution and customized pick, pack and ship, to cross-docking, transloading and more.

World Distribution Services (WDS) announced the opening of its brand new, state-of-the-art distribution center near Savannah, Ga. The 280,000-square-foot facility is located within a quarter mile of WDS's existing Savannah warehouse, and offers services ranging from retail fulfillment and distribution and customized pick, pack and ship, to cross-docking, transloading and more.
"World Distribution Services doubling their existing footprint in Savannah is another example of how strategic investments in Georgia's ports and our position as a major logistics hub continue to pay off for the hardworking people in our state," said Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. "We're grateful for their continued investment in Georgia and the support of our partners in the public and private sector who have helped transform the Peach State into a logistics powerhouse."
The building boasts 40 dock doors, a 32-foot clear height, and sits just nine miles from the Garden City Port Terminal/Port of Savannah. This location doubles the storage and distribution footprint of WDS in Savannah and allows the company to assist customers of all sizes. Thanks to the impressive infrastructure investments made by the Georgia Ports Authority, WDS is well-positioned to service new customers from across the globe as they move freight through the United States.
"It's clear to us that Savannah is a market poised for continual growth," says WDS President Duncan Wright. "The GPA's strategic investments have allowed businesses like ours to confidently plan for the future. We really value their vision and commitment to keeping Savannah as one of the premiere ports in the country."

We sure have been glad to see spring around here! It feels like freedom after being trapped in the house for a whole winter. We've made the most of it with flower crafts, bright springy colors, and some yummy snacks. Here's our Spring Theme Preschool Week!
Nothing beats flowers for a simple preschool science lesson! Read about how we explored flowers while incorporating some art and nature study.
You'll be sure to find something you like in this list of Books About Spring And Changing Seasons. We love all of these bright and cheerful books!
Boy, oh, boy, do I love the website 3 Dinosaurs. Cassie makes awesome printables in a huge range of themes, with tons of activities for your kids to do. You can print the whole thing if you'd like, but I prefer to pick and choose the pages that I know my girls will like and that cover skills that they need to work on.
Maggie is learning how to use scissors right now, and while she is most excellent at cutting teeny tiny scraps of confetti (and leaving them all over my living room), she's still working on cutting on a line. These cutting practice pages from the Spring Printable Pack were great practice!
Lena has gotten really into coloring lately. It took a while, but now she'll stay focused and hard at work for up to half an hour. It's always a great quiet time activity. One of my favorite places to go for coloring pages is the Just Color page at 1+1+1=1. For our spring week, Lena and I used the spring pack and enjoyed some early morning coloring one day while Maggie slept in.
Lena and Maggie loved making these Simple Spring Necklaces. Stringing the beads is excellent fine motor work, and we explored patterns as well.
For a simple and easy craft this week, the girls made these cute doily flowers. This craft would be perfect to do in a preschool classroom or group setting, since the materials are simple and the results are impressive!
We made a yummy spring snack this week, and both of my girls gobbled them up. Making anything in to a cutesy shape is just plain fun, right?
Get outside! Dig in the dirt! Ride bikes! Draw with chalk! Blow bubbles! A spring field trip doesn't need to be fancy. It just needs to be outdoors, enjoying the weather, and exploring all the changes that spring brings.
This simple math activity was lots of fun for spring week. We used some coffee filter flowers that we'd made, a small glass dish, and black beans (from one of our sensory bins). Then I grabbed some basic number cards.
For Maggie, I just placed a number card on the floor and asked her to plant that number of flowers in the garden (beans). This helped her work on numeral recognition and counting.
I used the same materials to work with Lena on basic addition and subtraction. I set out a problem and she planted the flowers to solve them. Then she found the correct number card and completed the equation.
The girls have loved playing with this Spring Sensory Bin. A quick trip to Target or a craft store and you'll have all you need.

Why Republican?

Are Sexually Explicit Books Appropriate for Our Schools Libraries? DASD Thinks So!
Recent discoveries from the DASD library search revealed several books detailing sexually explicit subjects with accompanying illustrations. "All Boys Aren't Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto" was on the Oak Park Elementary library shelves as of the week of October 25, 2021. See https://youtu.be/ag-ByyDXhUQ. Listen to the reading at that link, but only if there are no minors present. The context of this book involves the sexual abuse of a teen boy by an older boy/ young man, including a descriptive process of the teen's grooming, sexual seduction, and abuse—the book is narrated in graphic, highly descriptive pornographic detail.
On Tuesday, October 26, 2021, several books with explicit sexual material and illustrations were located using the Destiny Discovery search tool available at the Downingtown West High School website. That same title, "All Boys Aren't Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto" and "Gender Queer – A Memoir," are locatable. Both are on the shelves in the Downingtown West High School library. See the attached, hazed graphics showing the "art" of "Gender Queer – A Memoir." There is no question. "Gender Queer – A Memoir" is hardcore pornography selected and placed on bookshelves in the Downingtown Area School District. There is no redeeming value in this publication that justifies making it available to our children.
Some quotes that go along with the pictures from the comic book pictured above, Gender Queer a Memoir by Maia Kobabe. "This would evolve into hip thrusting", "I got off once while driving just by rubbing the front of my jeans and imagining getting a blow job", "It really never occurred to you to put something into your vagina"...
As per DASD parents, here is a complete list of books with sexually explicit / inappropriate content for minors currently in the DASD system:
All Boys Aren't Blue (4 pages)
Graceling
Me Earl and The Dying Girl
The Glass Castle
Material of such explicit nature is generally classified as rated "R" or "X" – not appropriate or even prohibited for minors. Exposing minors to sexually explicit material is classified as child abuse and reportable to the authorities – Teachers and administration ought to know! Professionals who work with children or are in a position of power are required to report such abuses. Either it is okay with DASD Librarians, Parent Teacher Organization, teachers, and administration, or they turn a blind eye in the name of going with the flow.
The bottom line - DASD continues to be reckless and disrespectful of our students, families, and community through their lack of discernment and sensitivity about what is suitable for our children. They continue to "not get" the boundary between school and home. They don't get to make decisions on what our kids get exposed to – That's a parent's job. They don't get to introduce our kids to the world as they want it to be and force their worldview upon them. They don't get to make choices for us!
Exposing minors to sexually explicit material is considered abuse and requires reporting to child protection agencies for investigation. The decisions that DASD are making are unacceptable - unethical and unlawful. The professionals who enabled these publications need to be held accountable.
A school is a place of learning with a focus on academics. Therefore, such books (previously noted and images below) of such explicit sexual nature in narrative and graphic display are inappropriate. If defended as self-help – such books should be recommended by therapists and helping professionals after much consideration based on client vulnerability within a clinical setting - not made available in public elementary, middle, and high schools. If defended as diversity, equity, and inclusion as related to sexual orientation or one's private experience of self, these images go beyond validating oneself and building self-esteem. They venture into areas that are none of any school's business.
There are no acceptable excuses - No reasons for these actions.
As argumentation and protest concerning public schools' practices continue in DASD and other districts, including West Chester and Tredyffrin East, it's evident that there is a vehement disagreement between schools and parents. The level of protest we see results from families/ parents trapped into using public schools that don't meet their needs and go against their respective value systems. Families are financially beholden to public schools due to taxes paid into the public education system. Some have no other feasible option.
Freedom unifies people. We need to reign in out of control social overreach in public schools. A clear argument for school choice is apparent via this one of many conflicts. It's easy - The money follows the child. Families and students choose. Everyone wins.
In the meantime...
These DASD decision-makers need to be fired and reported immediately!
Let's put an end to this madness!
Let's VOTE these people out!

Urology is typically one the most challenging specialties in the medical field; in the Houston area, urology is also one of the busiest practices – urological conditions account 20% of acute hospital referrals. Urogynecology Houston practices are very sought after for their expertise in this field.
Urologists are doctors trained and specialized in diagnosing and treating problems of the urinary system and genitourinary tract affecting kidneys (stones, infections, tumors), bladder (congenital disorders, incontinence), urethra (obstructions, infections), prostate (tumors) or reproductive organs (impotence, sterilization, infertility) etc. By the nature of their work, urologists work with male and female patients of all ages. Emergencies in this medical branch are relatively rare, but occasionally they may be a part of a day`s work. Urologists perform diagnosis, treatment and surgeries; they use modern minimally invasive and robot-assisted technology, which besides extensive training, also requires many other different qualities.
These specialists must have great communication skills that allow them to talk with patients on a personal level and make them feel comfortable with that. Urology often involves delicate issues and discussions that may be a serious obstacle to sensitive patients. And let`s not forget that, in some cases, these doctors also work with children and must be able to handle their attitude.
The best urologists are those who develop long lasting relationships with their patients because this attitude is a proof of their level of professionalism translated into the goal to make lasting improvements.
Here are the skills and qualities to look for in urologists, classified in a couple of relevant categories.
Urologists must be realistic persons, body-oriented and concentrated on problems that they can resolve, rather than on ideas, data or people. They must definitely be responsible, willing to confront challenging situations, reliable and dependable. There is no question about the fact that all doctors must be able to fulfill their obligations. Urologists must be detail-oriented, patients, showing precision, initiative and dependability, being able to work as a team and having great manual dexterity.
The fact that these healthcare specialists perform many surgeries constitutes both an advantage and a disadvantage, as it can be challenging, rewarding but also exhausting. Urology deals with so many problems that there is no monotony and no day will be the same. In the Houston area, urology is one of the highest paying surgical specialties, and it benefits from advanced technology.
The disadvantages include the long and hard training, as well as long and complex work hours. Last but not least, it is a male dominated field, which is a disadvantage considering that statistics clearly show that female patients tend to prefer lady doctors.

Home Essays Has Pos-Fordism Replaced...
Has Pos-Fordism Replaced Fordism in Capitalist Society
Topics: Capitalism, Sociology, Industry Pages: 7 (1959 words) Published: March 8, 2011
The beginning of the 20th century when Henry Ford first time put his genius idea of dividing works into separate parts by using assemble line into practice was marked as the start of massive production. It is also the debut for Taylorism in the massive production area. After that such method of massive standard production was named as Foedism. Based on the 'scientific management' theory that comes from Taylorism, the manufacturing area began to be dominated by Fordism. However, since the 1960s when a series of new technologies appeared, manufacturing did not have to be formed in a fixed method. A more flexible production method, which was named as Post-Fordism turned up. From then on a controversy appears between two groups of sociologists. This debate is about whether the post-Fordism has replaced the position of Fordism and Taylorism in the modern society. This essay is about to critically evaluate the explosive view that 'Taylorism' and 'Fordism' have been replaced by 'Post-Fodism' as the ruling paradigm of work in capitalist society. Views and some comments from different sociologists, such as, Michael J. Piore, J.Atkinson and Anna Pollert will be referred to in this article.
The most obvious phenomenon of Post-Fordism is the flexibility. It can now be easily witnessed that flexible practices are kept being introduced into different areas including labor process, technology, contract. So how flexible the manufacturing process is has been a main index to recognize 'post-Fordism' and 'Fodism' Piore (1986) has a strong mind that 'Fordism' and 'Taylorism' have been replaced by the 'post-Fordism' and flexibility has spreaded across most capitalist countries. The customers do not satisfy with pedestrian products and look forward to more specialized products. (Piore, 1986) So what the customers want, as an example, are cars with personalities and something unique rather than the boring black Ford Model Ts. And on the other hand, the implantations of new technologies make it more economic and easier for companies to adjust what to produce: 'For example, computer numerical-controlled machine tools can be reprogrammed to perform different tasks. This enables manufacturers to make goods in small batches economically: it no longer costs vast amounts to shift from the production of one product to the production of another.'(Haralambos et al. 2004, p. 641) Thus, it is both desirable and possible for manufacturers to make the production method more flexible. And Piore(1986) also suggests that these developments have contributed to the changes in patterns of work and management. To the aspect of work, for workers in flexible firms may be given different tasks along with the workflow and works are linked to computer more closely; skilled workers are much more desired than ever before. Meanwhile, a rapid reduction occurred to low-skilled tasks in the employment structure. (Piore, 1986) With regard to the pattern of management, the firms structure becomes more flat than ever before, and an effective flexible Japanese circles, which is regarded as a key to Japanese business success is widely adopted by most companies from capitalist society. Similarly, Atkinson (1985) maintains a view that companies and factories in capitalist countries have been more flexible than ever before. But what is different from Piore's theory, he classifies the flexibility into two forms,'Functional flexibility' and 'Numerical flexibility'. In Atkinson's (1985) theory, 'Functional flexibility' and 'Numerical flexibility' refer to the ability of allocating 'core workers' or 'multi-skilled workers' into different area and the ability of controlling its labour size of respectively. Otherwise, he divides the labour source into three parts, namely, core group, first peripheral group and second peripheral group, and believes firms tend to make an increasing use of peripheral group workforce which includes agency temporaries and self-employment workers as a mean to...

Fordism Essay
...Fordism, it refers to the mass production of standardized goods using assembly line technology, involving few skills and repetitive work by employees. 'Each company was composed of many different specialized departments, each producing components and parts that were eventually channeled towards the moving line for final assembly.'(Cohen & Kennedy 2007: 95 ) For instance, in 1900, there were 18 million horses, but only 8,000 cars in America. For local people, car just was a bulky and expensive "stupid bug", after Henry Ford brought Fordism in manufacturing, the cars of Ford's company had become a culture and can be seen at everywhere, such as movies and songs. This essay will describe the main characteristics and history of Fordism, then, it will introduce Taylorism, after explaining the reason for decline in Fordism and describe the nature of Post-Fordism, finally, this essay will evaluate that Taylorism and Fordism have been replaced by Post-Fordism in capitalist societies. Fordism is named after Henry Ford (1863-1947) who is a pioneer and car maker in manufacturing factories in the United States. This term first was introduced by Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), 'an ultra-modern form of production and of working methods such as is offered by the most advanced American variety, the industry of Henry Ford' Before...
...Practice essay on Fordism and post-Fordism 1. Does it matter whether we are in a Fordism, neo-Fordism or post-Fordism society? 8. Critically examine the differences between Fordism and post- Fordism Answer for question 8 As the economic changed significant over the past years, many people argued that there was a transition from Fordism to post Fordism. Both systems have a close relationship with people's life because they have a great impact to our society. In this essay, I'm going to clarify the differences between these two systems by using several authoritative theories. In the early twentieth century, the American engineer Frederick W. Taylor inspired the notion of scientific management. His key argument was that failures in production were the result of bad management, Taylor argued that management needed to seize control of the work process, and to do this they needed a scientific understanding of that process. He believed the use of productivity incentives to encourage a higher work rate. Taylor desired to break jobs down into the simplest tasks, so reducing the level of skill required and therefore the wage rate. The manufacturer Henry Ford from 1908 most famously developed Taylor's approach in car- maker onwards. The origin of the term " Fordism" lies in the method of production of the...
Differences of Fordism and Post-Fordism Essay
...Discuss Differences Between Fordism and Post-Fordism Work In 1913, Henry Ford had an assembly line built in his Detroit plant where T-Ford cars were manufactured. This marked the beginning of a new era in production called Fordism. It was a pattern of industrial organisation and employment policy that occurred in the early twentieth century. Its high point was the period after the Second World War. This essay will be describing the main principles of Fordism, post-Fordism, their advantages and limitations. It will also discuss the break-up of Fordism and argue that it was inevitable for such an organisation of work to fail. Moreover it will offer some insights into consequences of post-Fordism and its impact on people's personal and family life. There are four main principles, which can be used to describe Fordism. Firstly, products and their components were standardised. This means that the tasks performed by workers could also be standardised. Secondly, because the tasks were the same, they could be mechanised. Special-purpose machines were built for different models. These machines could not be switched from product to product. Thirdly, Taylorism, or scientific management, was employed to break down the manufacturing process into simple tasks that could be performed by individual workers. Fourthly, rather than having machinery at the centre of...
Taylorism and Fordism Essay
...and formulae, take brain work away form the factory floor, and plan out, give written instructions to every worker on exactly what to do (Braveman, 1974). Fordism was named after Henry Ford, an American car manufacturer who pioneered mass production based on direct controls over the workers. According to Braverman, there are three principles to Taylorism, "the dissociation of the labour process form the skills of the workers, the separation of conception (the thinking about how work is done) form the execution (doing) of the work, and the managerial use of the monopoly of this knowledge to control each step of the labour process and its mode of execution". (Braverman, 1974). In this essay, the claim of that Taylorist and Fordist management control methods increased organization productivity at the expense of employee job-satisfaction will be evaluated by using various case studies. Scientific management can be seen in McDonaldization, which is "the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world" (Ritzer, 2008, page 1). Is it based on four components emphasized by Ritzer, efficiency, calculability, predictability and control. McDonaldization's approach carries all the key principles of scientific management and has proven to be very profitable with revenues of $21.6 billion in 2006. Other businesses that have shown to...
...Post Fordism is an industrial model that replace Fordism model in 1970. It is a production model which is closely associated with socioeconomic system used in most industrialized countries. Unlike Fordism which was used by Henry Ford's plant where workers worked in a production line with each person performing specialized task in a repetitive manner, Post-Fordism is characterized by the use of new information technology with the coming of the globalize financial market. From this model, I have learned that production should be tailored to the needs of the customers and should be driven by market demand. This means that labor has to be managed according to the production process utilizing the current technology in the market. I have also learned that the production process should be more aimed at the consumers and their demands. Flexible organization is an approach which believes that production should not be aimed at the mass but it should be flexible enough in order to target a certain group of consumers. Firms no longer need to invest so much of their money in creating production lines for mass production but they sound rather embrace the modern technology which requires them to use intelligent labor and machine systems in order to respond to the market needs quickly. One example of such flexible organization or flexible specialization is just-in-time manufacturing. This concept of just in time...
...Has a new system of production and consumption replaced Fordism? Named after American industrialist Henry Ford, Fordism is essentially a modern socio-economic system designed on the bases of industrial mass production in the 20th century. There are many aspects of Fordism in terms of its social and economic organisation, such as the relation to production line techniques, the nature and pattern of consumption, and overall state regulation. This essay will firstly outline the three major characteristics of Fordism; the standardisation of goods produced, the synchronisation of assembly line workers, and the concept of how higher waged workers are able to afford the goods they produce. Moreover, the 21st century patterns of production, consumption and regulation have distinctively altered the core of Fordism, particularly since the rise of the information and communication technology sector, such as the Internet and personal computers. Therefore, the major features and implications of Taylorism and Post-Fordism will also be explored, in relation to whether contemporary systems of production and consumption have replaced the initial Fordism system. Fordism took its name when the pioneer of mass production for motor cars, Henry Ford, conjured up a method of producing cars that simplified the overall production process...
Post Fordism Essay
...POST FORDISM During 1970s and 1980s Fordism system started being challenged by new kind of work organisation Fordism principles- fragmented work, dedicated machinery, serial, rather than parallel task, task sequencing create enormous economic off scale but have one crucial weakness namely inflexibility. During 1970-80s, the mass market which stabilised the Fordist system was breaking up. Sabel argued that this had come about because of a number of global changes, but the chief factor is the changing nature of consumer's taste. The suggestion is that the later part of the 20th century witnessed a structural shift in the nature of market; they are fragmenting and becoming increasingly specialised. This is partly due to the success of Fordism itself. Markets have had become saturated with manufactured goods. The enormous impact on social tastes and expectations of placing motor vehicles and other products within the reach of the mass of people has meant that consumers have become much more sophisticated; they are no longer satisfied with standard products. Increasingly the demand is for customised products that incorporate quality and design features. This social, technological and market changes in the global environment of firms have left Fordism high and dry. However the thesis that Sabel initiated and which was developed more fully in Piore and Sabel (1984), opposed any deterministic...
Essay about Fordism (Sociology)
...Fordism is a system that arose during the last decades of the 19th Century through to the second decade of the 20th Century. Fordism was first recognized by the Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937). He was the writer of 'Americanism and Fordism'. It was about Fordism representing a new form of capitalism which created a new economic structure which affected social life of the laborer on a large scale. Ford came up with a method of manufacturing inexpensive automobiles using the assembly line which could finish a car in 98 minutes. It was the dominant method of mass production and mass consumption with the help of assembly-line technology. This process broke down complicated tasks into many smaller and simpler ones, which were suitable of unskilled labor. It was practiced on a large scale, using semi skilled workers. These workers, usually male, had one task each that they had to repeatedly do which is why they did not need to be particularly trained. This method was already used in the slaughterhouses in Chicago in the 1980's but Ford was the first person to use it on a large scale with the single colored and model, mass produced T model car. Ford was the creative force behind the growth to preeminence of the automobile industry, still the world's largest manufacturing activity. As Womack, Jones, and Roos (1990: 11) explain: "Twice in this century [the auto industry] has...

Q: Given $f(x) = \int_{0}^{x^{20}}{\sqrt{t}\sin{\sqrt{t}}\,dt}$. Find $f^{(80)}(0)$ I want to find $f^{(80)}(0)$, where $f(x) = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{x^{20}}{\sqrt{t}\sin{\sqrt{t}}\,dt}$.
My attempt:
Let $g(x) = \displaystyle \int{\sqrt{t}\sin{\sqrt{t}}\,dt}$. Now $f(x)$ can be rewritten as
$$ f(x) = g{\left(x^{20}\right)} - g(0). $$
Taking the derivative $80$ times,
$$ f^{(80)}(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^{80}{a_i \times g^{(i)}{\left(x^{20}\right)}}, $$
where $\{a\}$ is a sequence of integers. I tried to find the sum, but little progress was made.
I noticed that if I plugged $x = 0$ into the equation, all of the "$x$-linked" terms would be canceled. hence, only the first few terms would be significant, which is $\displaystyle \sum_{i = 1}^{4}{a_i \times g^{(i)}{\left(x^{20}\right)}}$.
Another observation is that $a_i$ will become $0$, i.e. $g^{(i)}$ will vanish after 20 times the derivative was taken. Thus, the final answer would be $a_4 \times g^{(4)}{\left(x^{20}\right)}$.
I only managed to find $a_1 = 20!$ for the first 20 derivatives and failed to derive explicit formulas for the other three.
I would like to know how to solve this problem appropriately, thanks in advance.

A: We have $f'(x) = 20x^{19}x^{10}\sin(x^{10}) = 20x^{29}\sin(x^{10})$. What do the first few terms of the Taylor series of $\sin$ tell you?

A: Some simple rules allow us to find the first derivative

 Namely the fundamental theorem of calculus and the chain rule

Which gives

 $$ \frac{df(x)}{dx} = \frac{df(x)}{d(x^{20})}\cdot \frac{d(x^{20})}{dx} = x^{10} \cdot \sin x^{10}\cdot 20x^{19}= 20x^{29}\sin x^{10}$$

We know that deriving this another 79 times gives the 80th derivative of $f$. To find the 79th derivative of this derivative we use

 The taylor expansion of $\sin u$ at $u=0$ and substitute $u=x^{10}$

Which gives

 $$20x^{29}\sin x^{10} = 20x^{29}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^k (x^{10})^{1 + 2 k}}{(1 + 2 k)!}$$

Which allows us to use the following fact

 the 79th derivative of this function at zero will be $79!$ multiplied by the coefficient of $x^{79}$ - this is valid because all other terms have either vanished or are stil multiplied by $x=0$

We can find the corresponding $k$ as follows

 $$10(1+2k) = 79-29 \iff k = 2$$

Now we apply arithmatic to find the solution

 $$f^{(80)}(0) = \frac{20\cdot 79!}{5!} =  \frac{79!}{6}$$

A: Let $$F(t) = \int{\sqrt{t}\sin{\sqrt{t}}\,dt}$$
Then, we have $f(x) = F(x^{20})-F(0).$
Differentiating once you get
$$
f'(x) = 20x^{19}F'(x^{20}) = 20x^{19}(\sqrt{x^{20}}\sin\sqrt{x^{20}}) \\
f'(x) = 20x^{29}\sin(x^{10})$$
I hope continuing is not difficult.

A Mother's Plea
Nov. 5th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
I wrote this two weeks ago when I came home to find that all hell had broken loose in my family, wanting to find a way to publish it, to get people to THINK about how they treat each other and the lessons they inadvertently teach others, and decided that our situation is dire enough here that I just really need people to think NOW and can't wait for an editor to decide this works for them. I posted this to my FB yesterday and it went "viral" among my friends and their friends. I don't think that's really the definition of the term, but it's nice that people want to share this. :)
And I want you to share this through links. Please link people here to my blog instead of reposting this elsewhere, if you do. I feel that having a concentrated group of comments for kids like my son to read through and know that people CARE will do wonders for them. (And if you know me in RL, please - I beg of you - do not share anything personal like where I actually live or my child's name. We have had people stalking our house to the point where my husband called the police.)
Thank you. It's a little long, but I mean every word of it. (And if you've ever called someone the names I've referred to in this article, or hurt someone, I want you to look at my icon. That's my son. That precious little thing has had all of this ugliness thrown at him.)
Warning: Frank talk of homophobia, suicide attempts, and bullying.
My son was recently hospitalized for his third suicide attempt. Contrary to the knee-jerk reaction of armchair parental authorities online, we are a tight-knit, supportive family with active aunts, uncles, and grandparents as well as an extended network of family friends. My kids do well in school, don't eat junk, are required to show me their computer history on surprise inspections, and when asked, say they're sure that their parents love them. (We do.)
So what would drive my son to such a horrific end? It's simple: bullying.
I've heard that I'm a terrible mother for leaving my child in a situation where he's being brutalized. That he needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps and beat the hell out of his attackers. That he needs more Jesus in his life. That if he only smiles back at the bullies, why, their hearts will grow three sizes that day and they'll all be BFFs.
There are a few problems with all of that. One, I haven't left my child anywhere. Every single administrator, counselor, and teacher from his 3rd grade in elementary school to this year in high school knows my face and my name. I'm always assured that they're looking into things. They're getting to the bottom of it. If they can only catch these punks in the act, life will be better. (And if my son could only remember their names. Or not be terrified about turning them in, because that hasn't worked out well, either. Retaliation is the name of that game.)
Second, my son is on the Autism Spectrum. To think that he would be capable of beating up on someone is ridiculous. (Not to mention that he weighs a buck o'five at almost seventeen years old.) He approaches things from logic. It's illogical for him to hit a person in order to make them stop hitting. Frankly, it tells me a lot about a person if they think that stupid mindset works, like biting to make a toddler stop biting.
Third, my son is an atheist (See: logic) and happens to be gay. Getting good with Jesus, prayer circles... none of that works, since he's The Enemy. He is gay, you can't pray that away (not to mention that he doesn't believe in prayer anyway), so he fails on both counts for them, reinforcing his enemy status. Plus, his attackers are all active, vocal Christians – mostly of the Southern Evangelical sort - so that goes back to that logic loop of his.
Pick one of those three traits, and in his attackers' minds it's the reason for the other things he is. He's gay because he's an atheist. He's an atheist because he's gay. He's a gay atheist because he's "retarded." These are all things that have actually been said to him. Since it's my job as his mother to step in, I'll try to do so here, as I have at his school, and drop some knowledge on you. (General you, if you happen to already know this.)
Because I'm an atheist, it doesn't mean that I want to go into your house and stop your prayers, remove your Bible, and walk out with the cross hanging over your mantelpiece. It means that I don't want you telling me I have to have your prayers, cross or bible in my house.
Because I'm an ally of the LGBTQ community, it doesn't mean that I will come into your living room and force you to watch The L Word, Ciao, or Queer as Folk. I don't want to force you into watching a queer couple make love in front of you on your matrimonial sheets. I don't want to drag you to a Gay Pride parade and wrap you in gold hot pants and a rainbow flag, although I bet it would look fabulous on you; seriously, are you working out?
Being an ally just means that I wouldn't mind if you did. It means that I want to be able to let my gay teen son turn on the TV, switch to LOGO and watch the high school episode of 1 Girl 5 Gays and see himself represented on television like your straight kids see every single day on every single channel. I want him to watch Glee and see Kurt and Blaine navigate the waters of dating with supportive friends and parents, just like other teen couples enjoy. I want the opportunity for him to see how kids his age deal with the challenges he faces every day as a gay young man.
Because my son has Asperger's, it doesn't mean that I want him to have special treatment. I don't expect people to understand automatically that my son doesn't get body language. (He expects people to say what they actually mean and not hint at what they mean by how they stand, inflections, etc.) I just expect people not to call him an R-word and diminish him as a human because he communicates differently, not for them to develop a whole new language instantly or method of talking to my son.
Tolerance doesn't mean that you have to change your fundamental self, thoughts, or beliefs. It means that you have to be flexible, that's it. Be less reactionary. It means that you really should go through life expecting that everyone isn't just exactly like you. After all, there are eight billion people on the planet. Every Christian doesn't think exactly the same way. Every Muslim. Every Atheist. Every Jew. (In fact, I think it's a requirement of the Jewish faith to have your own thoughts and opinions. Mazel tov!)
What it means to be tolerant is not that you have to love and welcome each and every difference in the world into your heart. That would be amazing if you did, though! But that's not what tolerance means. It means that you intellectually accept that people are different and you won't actively seek to change them by force of your beliefs to become something else. That's it. That's all it means. If you're smart, you'll realize that it means a hell of a lot less work on your part. No more needless rallies to stop gay marriage, no more anti-choice/pro-birth-and-no-services-past-birth sit-ins. It means more time for your family, your hobbies, yourself. (And yes, I believe tolerance is a two-way street.)
Someone being different than you doesn't actually affect your life, if that's what you've been worried about. Goodness, there have been gay people (and atheists, red-haired step-children, hot dog enthusiasts, left-handed people...) for ages. And look! You're still you. You're still everything you believe yourself to be. You still breathe, ambulate, go to work or school, stay at home, love your spouse – or hate your spouse, hey, I don't want to judge! Whatever your daily routine is, it has stayed the same, even though these different people are in the world, too. Even though that nice black family moved a few blocks away. Even though a gay Latina woman was voted in as Sheriff of Fort Worth, TX. You still got your paycheck, the game still came on last Sunday, and the Cowboys still lost, and seriously, Romo, get your head in the game and get that arm in condition.
You aren't affected by their lives in other homes, in other cities, in other states. Your children aren't affected by it. They really, really aren't. Well, I'll amend that. They're now aware that differences exist. Is that...has that been the problem? You didn't want them to know that black people are successful beyond sports and music? That gay people don't want their parents and other married couples to stop being married because they can't get legally married in all 50 states? That atheists don't care that you're in church on Sunday (because seriously, it is so blissfully quiet on Sunday morning when I go run.... Please go to church!).
What does affect your children is your hate. Your intolerance. Your snide comments at the dinner table about how "that one isn't giving his parents grandchildren." Your limp-wristed, high-voiced impression of the teenage boy that loves fashion, not footballs. The dirty face you make at the young woman that prefers overalls and short hair to tight dresses and ornate accessories. Every time you use the phrase "short bus." Each instance of you grabbing your bag tighter as a black man walks towards you on the street or a person of Middle Eastern descent gets in line at the airport.
Your assumption that my son, because he's autistic, atheist, and gay is one or all of those things because he's "retarded" or "doesn't have Jesus" is a continuing lesson in hatred you're giving your children. And you have got to stop using the R-word word as an insult. Wow, does it make you look stupid and mean. My son isn't looking for "special" treatment or "special" attention. He gets it, because it's the result of nice little Christian boys that jam his head in the toilet at school to "clean him" of his sins, and that's just the stuff they do that I can print here. Trust me when I say he would really prefer to not get that kind of "special" attention ever again in his life.
He wants, as do I and millions of other people around the world, to get the same treatment. No fingers pointed for being different. No one telling him he's wrong for liking what he likes, being who he is, and for loving whom he loves. No one hissing slurs at him every damn day in the halls at school. No one telling him that he can't have basic services that every straight white person in the U.S. enjoys. (Did you even realize that? How un-American it is to deny a fellow American of these things?)
He would absolutely go bananas for a full day of nothing "special" happening to him at all. He'd love to turn on the television and see himself, just like other kids do. He'd love to hold his boyfriend's hand in the hallway and make plans to go to the burger joint with their group of friends just like the other kids. He'd love to be able to ask his teacher to clarify what she meant without people telling him angrily to shut up because they don't care about the lesson, and he's being "irritating." His friend would love to wear her head scarf and not be called a terrorist, when all she's trying to do is be modest and honor her beliefs.
So if you're so damn sick and tired of all of these "special interest groups" getting special treatment, I actually have a very simple solution for you: stop isolating them. Stop denying them basic human dignity. They'll be just like you, because they are just like you. Well, minus a lot of the hate.
Those folks you don't like and go against everything you want for yourself and your family? You don't have to kiss them on the mouth. You just have to stop punching them there. See? Easy. All of that "special treatment" that people continually bestow upon my sweet boy – a boy who cries over animals being harmed, a boy who works at an elder care facility every day and who loves hearing stories from our abandoned grandparents while caring for them, a boy who wants to reach out to anyone else hurting and offer comfort – all of this "special treatment" is what has driven him to a rope, a knife and a bottle of pills, even though he has support from people who care deeply about him.
That's how "special" that attention is – it trumps all other. How can a mother's kiss soothe when there's a gash on his cheek from someone's boot? How can his father's "atta boy!" override a teacher at his school telling him to just shut up, already? (Or be heard over the ringing derisive laughter of his classmates?) He can't remember his sister laughing at a joke earlier when his head is underwater in a toilet and a group of four boys are pulling his clothes off to toss down the hallway.
So if you weren't aware that you could stop all of this "special attention" for someone that doesn't fit into your definition of "normal," then you have it from me that you absolutely can. Please. Just stop.
Spock is:: sad
I love you and your family. I wish I had more words or comfort to offer you, but I could talk myself hoarse and not be able to express just how heartbroken I am for all of you that this is what you're going through and how angry I am that this is reality for so many kids.

This is terribly sad - I hope he feels better soon.
I hope the world is a better place, soon.
Could you get one of his friends to shadow him all day, and covertly record one or more of these awful events?
I'm not letting my son step foot on that campus again, so that's not an option I'm going to take, but thank you very much for coming up with an option!! <3
Oh, I'm very glad he's out of there.
I love you. I love that I know that no matter what, I'll get a hug from you just like in your icon. :)

Tea Party And Occupy Members Find Common Ground In Memphis
By Mark Memmott
Mid-South Tea Party member Jan Allen stands by front of the sign-in desk before Thursday's meeting near Memphis.
An Associated Press reporter was on hand last night in Tennessee when two representatives from the Occupy Memphis movement sat down with about 75 members of the Mid-South Tea Party and had what's described as a "sometimes strained and confrontational, but mostly civil discussion."
Adrian Sainz / AP
Occupy Memphis member Tristan Tran, at the meeting.
According to the AP, "the factions saw eye-to-eye on some issues and clashed on others. And, while the young speakers didn't change many minds, they did earn praise from the tea party members for their passion, honesty and courage."
The points of agreement:
-- "Their perception that the government and politicians no longer listen to and serve the people they represent.
-- "Their stances against taxpayer-sponsored government bailouts and 'crony capitalism.' "
Reaching at least some consensus is notable given the suspicions before the meeting. The Mid-South Tea Party's website, for example, prominently displays side-by-side photos of Tea Party and Occupy rallies that note the many American flags at one (the Tea Partiers') and absence of them at the other.
This all raises a question:
Mark Memmott is NPR's supervising senior editor for Standards & Practices. In that role, he's a resource for NPR's journalists – helping them raise the right questions as they do their work and uphold the organization's standards.


This video will show you how to Burn ISO files to DVD and make Windows Bootable DVDs.
This is the second video of its type. I put a video the first video up to help people creating and burning ISO files on a Windows PC. However the programs that I was recommending to 123myIT readers recently had some malware installed in it.
So this is a follow up video to show 123myIT users how to Burn ISO files in Windows without having to install the IMG Burn program and get stuck with the malware.
I have to say I think its a real shame that the programmers owners of IMG Burn have decided to go down this path because the program was an excellent easy to use tool that allows you to burn and create ISO files with ease.
Anyway to burn an ISO file you don't need any extra software, this can be done directly with Windows software.
Simply download your ISO file. You can get the preview versions of Windows from the 123myIT.com webite under Downloads here.
Once you have downloaded your ISO file, copy it to your Desktop or navigate to the location where you saved the ISO file. Simply right click the ISO file and click on Burn disk image. You should then get the following Window.
Once you see this Windows select Your Disc burner that you want to burn the DVD with. Put a tick in Verify disk after burning and you should be good to go.
Depending on the side of the file and the speed of your hardware it should take around 5 to 10 mins to burn a full sized DVD.
If you are looking for more information on the steps above or you for other resources you can check out the official Microsoft web page for burning ISO files to DVD here.

Appreciate your site. Very helpful. I used your videos & ISO file to get a new Windows partition set up on my new MacBook (early 2015) (I think formerly referred to as MacBook Air). All installation went well (finally) with your guidance. Following installation of your Windows 8.1 preview version, I tried to upgrade / install my Windows 8.1 Pro that I had previously purchased from Microsoft. The installation moved smoothly until it had reached 100% completion & said that the computer would restart several times to complete the installation. Unfortunately, at that point I get a "Windows 8.1 installation failed" message. No error number / identifier, no clue as to what caused the failure. I have tried it 4 or 5 times now with the same exact result. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong / how I can get my purchased Windows 8.1 Pro software installed and activated? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Yes the newer Macs seems to have some issues with this process. Let me ask you this, have you actually partitioned the Mac hard drive? If so what was the last step you got up to ?
Thanks for this post. I have used IMG Burn too. I still have it but no malware since I haven't updated that program in quite some time now xD.
Don't quote me but that's what others have mentioned.
u son of a whore. . where to download the program from ?
