Blessed Augustin Kažotić (, ; 1260 – 3 August 1323) was a Dalmatian-Croatian Roman Catholic prelate and professed member from the Order of Preachers who served as the Bishop of Lucera from 1322 until his death. Kažotić was a humanist and orator who had served first as the Bishop of Zagreb from 1303 until 1322. Kažotić studied in Paris before returning to his homeland where he began working in the missions and preaching in modern Bosnia. He was one of the first humanist figures to appear in southern Croatia.

His reputation for personal holiness remained noted long after his death; this resulted in Pope Innocent XII confirming the late bishop's beatification in 1700.

Life
Augustin Kažotić was born in 1260 in Trogir in the then-Kingdom of Dalmatia-Croatia to nobles.

He entered the Order of Preachers either in Trogir or in neighbouring Split in 1289 after the conclusion of his education. He completed his studies in 1287 in Paris at the college there where he was sent in 1286. Following his return from Paris he began establishing several convents and then did work in the missions in modern Bosnia and in the Hungarian kingdom. He battled against heresies during this time and got to know the papal legate Nicola Boccasini who later became pope. The two became good friends with Boccasini holding his friend in high esteem as a man of great learning and talent.

Pope Benedict XI - himself a Dominican - named him as the Bishop of Zagreb (through a papal bull) in 1303 at which stage he received his episcopal consecration from the pope himself. The bishop established a cathedral school which provided free schooling to underprivileged students. The bishop also fostered learning in biblical studies as a particular focus for education. He was considerate to the poor in particular; in his actions the priest of the Catholic school was provided a regular income but the bishop forbade him to take income from his poorer students or a request services. From his own income he often turned to charitable funds and donated some of his income to the poor and vulnerable.

The historian Baltazar Krčelić suggests that while the Zagreb Cathedral was being built in 1312 there was a drought and a source of water was dug out at the present Ban Jelačić Square at Kažotić's request. The source is now known as "Manduševac".

Kažotić represented his nation's dioceses at the Council of Vienne from 1311 to 1312 which Pope Clement V had convoked in order to debate the situation regarding the Knights Templar.

In 1318 he travelled to Avignon to seek assistance from Pope John XXII in regard to ongoing conflicts with King Charles Robert. Kažotić found himself exiled from the kingdom (and resided in Avignon with the papal court) as a result and had to wait until 1322 for the king to allow him to return to his episcopal see. During his time in Avignon he wrote a treatise on the subject of superstition in addition to divination and witchcraft. In that treatise he explained how uneducated people should not be prosecuted at the behest of the Inquisition because of their superstitions but that those people should need to be educated instead of being punished.

In 1322 the pope assigned him (through a papal bull) to the restored Lucera diocese which was home to thousands of Muslim Saracens who served as Emperor Friedrich II's elite troops. Kažotić was given the task of rebuilding a Christian presence in Lucera. But in 1323 he had done much but to the point that his presence was problematic for some in the Muslim population. To that end a Saracen struck him in the head with an iron shaft and he died from his injuries on 3 August 1323 in the Dominican convent that he himself established. In 1947 his remains were exhumed for examination; most of his skull was still intact and he was determined to have been of slender build.

Beatification
Kažotić's holiness became pronounced in his term as bishop to the point that people came to revere him after his premature death. This later resulted in Pope Innocent XII confirming the late bishop's beatification on 17 July 1700. Some sources suggest that Pope Clement XI beatified him on 4 April 1702; this is false since Clement XI had issued a papal bull that extended public devotion to him. The cause for his canonization was re-launched in 2013 in Lucera.

The current postulator for this cause - since the cause still proceeds - is the Dominican priest Gianni Festa.

Patronage
He is the patron for Lucera and has remained as such from 17 August 1668.

Q: Is there any way to export changed tags and css styling from chrome? When I work on my project it is my habit that I save my document and refresh the browser to see any change which is a time consuming task. Even sometimes I make changes directly in the chrome using devtools according to my needs and in the end do the same in project IDE.
My question is that can I do my whole work in chrome and later export the whole HTML and CSS styling as a project/raw text? OR at-least export the the changes I have made using chrome?
I know it seems a stupid question because we have a lot of great features in our latest IDEs but the reason I want to do this is the live changes I can see in chrome without any delay, there is no need to save, open the browser and refresh to see the commited changes :)

A: There's a feature of Dev Tools called Workspaces.
It maps remote resources you're tweaking in it to local files and persists changes.
Here's the official documentation.
It's not a miracle cure though:

As powerful as Workspaces are, there are some limitations you should be aware of.

*

*Only style changes in the Elements panel are persisted; changes to the DOM are not persisted.

*Only styles defined in an external CSS file can be saved. Changes to element.style or to inline styles are not persisted. (If you have inline styles, they can be changed on the Sources panel.)

*Style changes in the Elements panel are persisted immediately without an explicit save -- Ctrl + S or Cmd + S (Mac) -- if you have the CSS resource mapped to a local file.

*If you are mapping files from a remote server instead of a local server, when you refresh the page, Chrome reloads the page from the remote server. Your changes still persist to disk and are reapplied if you continue editing in Workspaces.

*You must use the full path to a mapped file in the browser. Even your index files must include .html in the URL, in order to see the staged version.

UMaine to offer opportunity to first-year students to retake failed courses
Home /News/Campus & Community News/UMaine to offer opportunity to first-year students to retake failed courses
Leela Stockley
Campus & Community News,News |
The University of Maine System recently implemented the "Make the Grade" Student Success Initiative which will provide a free three-credit course to first-year students that fail a course during their first semester of college.
First-year students often struggle for many different reasons. The first semester of college can be challenging for some as they may be living far away from home, attempting to balance multiple jobs or simply because it is a change of pace.
"Make the Grade" will attempt to offset the number of first-year students who are faced with the decision of dropping out after a challenging first semester. The pilot initiative was largely supported by the University of Maine System Chancellor Dannel Molloy as he set a goal to increase the number of students that stay in school and decrease the number of students that decide to leave University of Maine System campuses. "Make the Grade" is a part of a larger student outreach campaign, known as "Maine Values You." This student outreach campaign focuses on providing Maine college students an affordable, world-class education from the state's public universities.
According to the system's website, "only 44% of first-year Maine public university students who fail a course in their first semester return for the start of the next academic year." In the fall of 2018, first-year students who failed a course were thought to be more than twice as likely not to return for the next academic period when compared to their peers that did not fail a course.
This free course will save in-state students approximately $780 that they would typically pay for a three-credit class.
This policy was announced at the end of the fall semester's finals week, on Friday, Dec. 20 and will be put into practice at the University of Maine System's seven campuses across the state. At the beginning of the spring semester, students that meet the criteria will be contacted about the program.
All seven of the campuses have slightly different eligibility requirements for participants of the initiative. Each university will experiment with unique approaches to offer services that will aid their individual students and their specific needs.
The flagship UMaine Orono campus as well as UMaine Machias have decided that they will reach out to eligible students at the beginning of the semester and these students will be given a tuition waiver that they will have up to one year to use on a course based on their individual academic needs. These students will also be given a mentor, which could be an associate dean or staff member in the student affairs office that they will meet with regularly to discuss their trajectory for degree completion.
According to the University of Maine System website, UMaine's Orono campus "is committed to the success of its students and research shows that learners who take the time to connect with staff within their academic units and in student life have a greater chance of finding a major that motivates them and compels them forward toward their preferred careers."
In comparison, UMaine Augusta (UMA) will provide eligible students with a "Make the Grade" grant for the opportunity to retake one class that is four credits or less. Students eligible for this grant must have earned a grade lower than a D+, or an L or WF, during their first semester of college, in the fall of 2019. UMA will cover the tuition cost for this class to be taken during the spring semester of 2020, and the student will be responsible for covering the fees associated with the course.
The University of Maine System, along with educators around the state, hope that initiatives like this will help retain students who have potential in order to allow them the opportunity to get the best education possible. Through supporting students financially, UMaine hopes to see an increase in student success and satisfaction.

Q: LAMP - Use method protect /administrator joomla then can't access admin site in LEMP I use this method to protect my website admin.

*

*Step 1. Create a new directory in your root directory (eg. "newadminurl")

*Step 2. Create an index.php file in your "newadminurl " directory..
$admin_cookie_code="3429020892";
setcookie("JoomlaAdminSession",$admin_cookie_code,0,"/");
header("Location: /administrator/index.php");

*Step 3. Add this to .htaccess of your real Joomla administrator directory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/administrator
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !JoomlaAdminSession=3429020892
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]
Explanation: Now, you need to open "http://yoursite.com/newadminurl/" before you open your "administrator" path. Here we have created a cookie that expires at the end of the session and redirect to actual administration page. Your actual "administrator"path is inaccessible until you open your secret link .**
After that I changed the webserver from LAMP to LEMP . Now, I can't access my admin-site.

A: Just remove the code that you have added in both files and then clear your browser cache (note that Firefox caches redirects for a short while, so try from another browser).
You can always use this method - http://www.itoctopus.com/how-to-password-protect-the-backend-of-a-joomla-website-with-htpasswd-and-htaccess - for protecting your backend with an additional set of credentials. We use it for our clients and it does work very well.

Electroabsorption spectroscopy of well-identified index-defined semiconducting carbon nanotubes is reported. The measurement of high definition electroabsorption spectra allows direct indexation with unique nanotube chirality. Results show that at least for a limited range of diameters, electroabsorption is directly proportional to the exciton binding energy of nanotubes. Electroabsorption is a powerful technique which directly probes into carbon nanotube excitonic states, and may become a useful tool for in situ study of excitons in future nanotube-based photonic devices such as electroabsorption modulators.

Criminal recruitment of insiders is becoming an industry now with the release of a new Trojan called "Delilah". Delilah recruits targeted insiders via social engineering and/or extortion, sometimes using ransomware techniques. It remains a closely held Trojan not yet available on the common black market, and is only shared amongst closed hacker groups, according to threat intelligence firm Diskin Advanced Technologies (DAT).
DAT reports that the bot is delivered to victims via downloads from multiple popular adult and gaming sites. Once installed the hidden bot gathers enough personal information from the victim so that the individual can later be manipulated or extorted. This includes information on the victim's family and workplace. The bot comes with a social engineering plug in that connects to webcam operations so that the victim can be filmed without his or her knowledge.
Also according to DAT, instructions to victims usually involve usage of VPN services, TOR and comprehensive deletion of browser history (probably to remove audit trails). These bots still require a high level of human involvement to identify and prioritize individuals who can be extorted into operating as insiders at desirable target organizations. Criminals who want to use the bot can also acquire managed social engineering and fraudster services to help them out, in case they lack those specific skills.
Reportedly, the Trojan is still buggy and sometimes yields error messages when the webcam function is invoked. Infected devices are also subject to constant monitor freezing – sometimes for over ten seconds – because of the high volume of real time screen shots. Threat actors want these bugs resolved.
Insider threat detection and mitigation is a rich subject that we explored in a recent blog Insider threats escalate and thrive in the Dark Web . A more comprehensive research note on this topic will be published this later this Summer. Surely, to combat Delilah and similar bots, it is especially important to collect and analyze endpoint data and information on VPN usage and TOR connections. Often times, the optimal way to do this is to feed EDR output into UEBA systems for correlations and advanced analysis of various events. Organizations should also seek to prevent endpoints from getting infected in the first place by preventing employees from visiting high risk adult and gaming sites using organizational systems.
Insider threats are continuing to increase with active recruitment of insiders from organized criminals operating on the dark web. With Trojans like Delilah, organizations should expect insider recruitment to escalate further and more rapidly. This will only add to the volume of insider threats caused by disgruntled employees selling their services on the Dark Web in order to harm their employers.

broke par at the short-and-narrow
ENDICOTT, N. Kansas City Royals Pro Shop .Y. -- Kenny Perrys magical ride continues. Chasing his third victory of the year on the Champions Tour, Perry shot a 7-under 65 on Friday to take a one-shot lead after the first round of the Dicks Sporting Goods Open. Perry, the Senior Players and U.S. Senior Open winner this summer, had three birdies over the final four holes to surge past Bart and Brad Bryant and Joel Edwards. Esteban Toledo, Jeff Freeman, Rick Fehr, and Russ Cochran were tied for fifth at 67 as more than half the field broke par at the short-and-narrow En-Joie Golf Club under nearly ideal scoring conditions. Perrys round turned with a brilliant shot at the par-5 12th hole. He holed a 6-iron from 187 yards for eagle. He also had six birdies to go with one bogey, hitting 15 fairways and putting just 26 times. "I was 3-under par, playing nicely, cruising along," said Perry, who leads the Champions Tour in money winnings with over $1.5 million. "You have a lightning bolt hit you like that -- Hey man, we can shoot a low score. It really pumped me up. It really got me excited. It got me motivated. It made me more aggressive." Just one shot behind, it felt like the good old days for the Bryants -- save the aches and pains. They were tied for the lead until Perry came along in the final group. "Someone looked at the scoreboard and said, Man, that Bryant, he must be good," Brad said, smiling broadly. "Hes leading the tournament and went back out for 18 more (holes). " Bart, at 50 a rookie on the senior tour, is trying to recapture a lot of what he lost at the end of his PGA Tour career, when two wrist surgeries kept him away from the game for three years. "It was frustrating. It was tough. I was out for a good three years and well over two that I couldnt even putt or chip or anything," Bart said. "Honestly, I really thought that I was probably done. It was a long three years. Just to be out here playing, it just feels so good." Bart birdied No. 2, hitting sand wedge to about 10 feet right of the hole and made a good putt after missing one on the opening hole. At No. 12 he hit to 6 inches out of a greenside bunker and made another birdie, then hit 5-iron at the par-3 14th hole to 15 feet and made that. He capped the round with a 30-foot birdie putt on the closing hole. "When I first came out here this year, I didnt have a lot of game," said Bart, whose best finish so far this year is a tie for fourth two weeks ago at the 3M Championship. "My golf muscles were not built back up. I just wasnt back at the level that I was when I left, or even close. As the years gone on, Ive gotten a little bit stronger, Ive lost a little bit of pain, and Im starting to get some of those shots back in my arsenal, so I feel like Im kind of creeping in on some really good golf and maybe having the ability to compete. To win out here is very tough." If not for a bogey at the par-3 fourth hole, Brad Bryant would have had a share of the lead. Still, despite a bad right foot that hobbled him all last year and an operation that has not provided any improvement to his health, Brad had a stellar round. He made three putts inside 6 feet, chipped in from 18 feet for birdie at the par-3 14th hole, and closed his round with a 12-foot birdie putt at No. 18. Happy with his round. Even happier with that of his brother. "Seeing Bart up there is always a good thing. Hes world-class," Brad said. "It was really unfortunate that his wrists basically disintegrated. All the cartilage just went away and the doctors couldnt figure out why. "I had a nice career on the PGA Tour, but I never was good as Bart. He was top 30 in the world for a couple of years. If he could get back physically, just healthy, every time hes been healthy hes really played well." Edwards started strong, rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 2, then smoked the back nine with four birdies to match his best round of the year. Since tying for seventh at the Principal Charity Classic in early June, his best finish has been a tie for 35th at the U.S. Senior Open. "It was a good, solid round. It was very important for me mentally to get that under your belt and see if you can do it again," the 51-year-old Edwards said. "Its been a long time since I played that well. Thats exciting." Mark Gubicza Jersey .com) - Darius Carter and Ron Baker scored 18 points apiece to help 13th-ranked Wichita State beat Evansville 61-41 on Saturday. Cookie Rojas Jersey . Ricciardo made it only halfway around the Jerez track before his RB10 rolled to a stop and began spouting smoke from the back. After team mechanics tended to the car, Ricciardo went back out for a mere two trips around the circuit before calling it quits."I dont believe in building through free agency." Argos general manager Jim Barker uttered those words during an interview with TSN 1050 radio just prior to the CFLs annual free agent frenzy. If you turn back the clock Barker is true to his word. Last February the only free agent the team added was LB/DE James Yurichuk. He proved his worth as a situational player who excelled on special teams, but it was far from being the kind of deal that captured the attention of more than just the die-hard fan. This may be a similar season in terms of who the Argos bring in according to Barker. "I do believe in plugging holes (via free agency) and trying to find that right guy thats going to bring our club up a notch," Barker noted. The bigger question may be what the club does about three specific players who may opt to not return to Toronto, Pat Watkins, Robert McCune and Swayze Waters. Watkins, a league all-star at cornerback last year, would be the toughest to replace. Hes also been the hardest to find. "Honestly we have not been able to get in touch with him. He doesnt return our calls, which is a bad thing," chuckled Barker. "If a guy doesnt want to be in Toronto then god bless him and good luck. Were persistent. Were sending players to his house, doing all those kind of things to try and run him down. But Pat is one of those guys who is very elusive. Its not a shocking development for us. Its possible hes just involved in something and not worried about it." Swayze Waters led the CFL in punting average and was virtually automatic on field goals down the stretch and is looking at returning to the states. "Hes tried out for a couple of NFL teams," Barker told TSN 1050. "Every indication hes given us is that hes coming back to Toronto if he comes back to the CFL." The Argos are preparing for the scenario where Waters makes an NFL team, and last week signed LSU grad Josh Jasper. Robert McCunes worth was evident in the teams loss to Hamilton in the Eastern Final. The middle linebacker, who was third in the league with 99 tackles, missed the game with a shoulder injury. It seemed every time Henry Burris scrambled, he ran right where McCune would have been. "With Robert were kind of waiting," said the GM. "Obviously Robert had a great year for us. Hes 34 years old. Thats a decision that were in the process of making, to which direction were going to go with him." If the Argos and McCune were to part ways it would leave the team down a couple of middle linebackers, as Jason Pottinger was selected by Ottawa in the expansion draft. Barker has a replacement all picked out, someone who may not be thought of as an MLB. "Shane Horton. Thats his natural position." Barker said, tthen may have tipped his hand about McCunes future. Edinson Volquez Jersey. "(Horton) played out of position playing rush end last year. Hes going to be a very, very good middle linebacker." Barker added he feels that at 215 pounds, Horton is big enough to play in the middle. Herve Tonye-Tonye, a non-import who just completed his rookie season, can also play the inside. As far as non-imports are concerned, it may be an interesting free agency period because of the recent expansion draft. Stocking the Ottawa RedBlacks took its toll on the existing teams rosters, so there will be a desire to restock the shelves with fresh talent. Barker commented on a few of the Canadians on the Argos that are on the verge of free agency. Chad Rempel, long snapper: "Chad worked out with Tampa Bay (NFL). He wants to give that a chance until thats exhausted." Zander Robinson, tight end/fullback: "Zander loves being in Toronto and loves how weve used him in the offence. Hes a valuable guy for us, but hes also exploring NFL opportunities." David Lee, defensive end: "Is a guy that had a real good year for us. I think he wants to try the free-agent market. Its his first time going through that and I think hes a guy that wants to go out and see what the market is all about." Mike Bradwell, wide receiver. "I think were really close. He loves being in Toronto." Coaching Moves/Tryout Camp: The Boatmen lost several coaches in the off-season. Special teams coordinator Mike OShea left to become the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, while defensive coordinator Chris Jones took over the head coaching job with the Edmonton Eskimos. Jones also took a handful of assistant coaches with him. Barker says there will be announcement about the new-look staff in the immediate future. "Were excited about what our staff is going to look like" said Barker. "Scott (head coach Milanovich) will be announcing those (soon). Hes come up with a couple of guys who have great CFL experience." Barker spoke to TSN 1050 from Atlanta, where the Argos were hosting a tryout camp. Over 60 players were in attendance and Barker was happy with what they found. "There were two players that were going to attempt to sign" said the GM. "Were pretty excited." If those players head north in June theyll attend training camp. Where that will be is still anyones guess. The team will not be back at the University of Torontos Erindale campus and at present are homeless. Where are they heading? "Those are questions for (Executive Chairman and CEO) Chris Rudge. "I know that theres some different things going on with York University," said Barker. "Other than that, Im not privy to those things." ' ' '

MRO-Plus: The door to more
Bulls pick up 'much needed win'
BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo, The State University of New York men's basketball team placed four players in double figures and got a solid all-around performance from junior Blake Hamilton, leading the Bulls to an 80-64 win over Binghamton on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Arena.
The victory snapped a three-game losing streak and evened the UB record to 5-5. Binghamton held an early 15-11 lead in the contest before . . .
. . . the Bulls went on an 11-3 run and never looked back. The UB hot hand was freshman CJ Massinburg, who drained three triples during the spurt. Massinburg went on to score 14 of his game-high 17 points in the first half. A layup by junior Willie Conner extended the UB lead to 11 with 4:08 left, a lead it had three times in the opening half, but a late three from Binghamton put the Bulls up just 38-30 at the break.
The Bearcats scored the first four points of the second half to pull within 38-34 before the Bulls went on a 13-0 run over the next three minutes. The run was capped off on a three-point play by Conner, but it featured four different scorers over the run, including four points from Ikenna Smart and five points from Lamonte Bearden. The 51-34 advantage was UB's largest of the game.
Binghamton pulled back within seven at 58-51 with 11:48 left, but a 9-0 run by the Bulls extended the lead back to 67-51 with 7:23 left following a three from Conner. Binghamton again pulled within seven with 3:28 left, but those would be the Bearcats last points of the afternoon as UB scored the final nine points of the game.
"This was a much needed win for us coming off that last road trip and being on a three-game losing streak," said head coach Nate Oats. "I thought our guys came out, and we have been stressing transition offense, and did a better job today in transition. Blake was flirting with a triple-double there and he can be really good for us because he is such a matchup problem for other teams."
Massinburg had 17 points and five rebounds off the bench, going 6-of-9 from the floor and 3-of-4 from three-point range. Bearden had 14 points, four assists and four steals, while Conner added 12 points. Senior Jarryn Skeete finished with 10 points, three assists and two steals.
Hamilton filled up the stat sheet as he had eight points, nine rebounds, a career-high nine assists and four steals. The nine assists are the most by a UB player this season. Senior Rodell Wigginton came off the bench and finished with six points and tied his career-high with 11 rebounds.
Smart had six points, four rebounds and a blocked shot, while junior David Kadiri returned to action and finished with four points, four rebounds and a career-best three blocked shots in 12 minutes of action. Freshman Nick Perkins entered the starting lineup and had three points, three rebounds and a block.
The Bulls remain home next Saturday when they host Montana State at 2:00 pm. The game was rescheduled for this season after the two teams were set to play last year before the game was postponed.

Macrina and Big Siblings in Faith
July 19, 2020 By Ryan Kuratko Leave a Comment
"Will you not put an end," she asked, "to your failure to recognise the good things which come from God?"
—The Life of Macrina by Gregory of Nyssa
Every Christian needs an older sister, at least figuratively, someone who has gone into the world ahead of us and can share wisdom in words we can hear. We need someone who can look us in the face, use her own spit to wipe something off our face, fix our hair, and gently encourage us to 'get back out there!'
Macrina, who lived from around 330-379, is that literal older sister to Gregory of Nyssa. While both end up with 'saint' prefixed to their names, Gregory is the more famous. His writings and speeches helped to shape the Nicene Creed, and his theology still rings out in its originality, thoughtfulness, and generosity. But when Gregory, discouraged by interminable church debates, needed to be refreshed and reschooled on the essential qualities of his faith, he turned to his older sister.
What we know of Macrina comes from Gregory's letter about her death. It's not too long and fairly readable if you want to engage his writing directly. Here's a reasonable translation with a long introduction if you'd like to read it.
Macrina was the leader of her household at time when such service was expected of women of her socio-economic class, but she refused to let her life be measured solely by whether she could produce children and perpetuate her name. She felt the same call to monastic life that resonated with many of her brothers (she was one of ten children, and three of her brothers also became saints), and with great faith and confidence, she persuaded her mother to transform their household into a monastery.
Indeed, she became a teacher, leader, and superior of a monastic community there, in a space where differently gendered people lived out their monastic professions. She served as big sister not only to Gregory but to a whole monastic community and, through her brothers, to the whole Eastern pattern of monastic life, which is heavily shaped by their writings. Her life offers inspiration to those of us who lament how little was recorded of early women leaders in the church. One suspects, reading of Macrina's life, that she was both remarkable and not the only one.
In celebrating her life today, we would be helped to remember the importance of our own big siblings of the faith. These are the people in our life who see us as we are—not our pretentions, or the masks we put up, or the performances we offer, but just us. Loving us without remainder, they also see our shortcomings and know exactly what to say to lift our chins, give us a break, or bring out a smile. I remain persuaded, along with Gregory of Nyssa, that we find our way to faith not through the Nicene Creed but through each of our Macrinas, people whose love opens our eyes to the divine qualities of love.
As I write these words in the middle of the ongoing COVID pandemic, I am finding that we all need a little encouragement from our Macrinas, our big siblings of the faith, both historic and alive. Caring for kids is exhausting (and who even knows about school next year!); we haven't quite managed to learn a language, or finished our novels, or started a successful sourdough, or learned how to knit, or any of our other goals for lockdown; our finances look rockier than they have in a long time. Our Macrinas see us as we are—God sees us as we are—and, without judgment, are ready to offer some words of encouragement.

My Babies Triggered Me!
October 19, 2019 October 19, 2019 / Gunner Q
I try to not read Spawny's Space (spawnyspace.wordpress.com). They always have such interesting off-topic links that my blog backs up like the public toilet at the welfare office. So much shit to step in!
Today's shit is Joanna Schroeder, a female contributor to the New York Slimes who did a nation-wide point & shriek at her own children.
A definite candidate for Control Freak of the Year.
This isn't the first time she used her sons as props for her not-quite-realized dream to be a nationally syndicated columnist. Huffington Post has a couple of her articles such as "7 Things I'm Not Afraid to Tell My Sons About Love, Sex and Their Bodies"…
You don't have to be jacked. You don't have to be ripped. You can be yourself and people are still going to want to be your friend and date you.
and "What Nobody Told You About Zombie Nipples While Breastfeeding". I'm tempted to post a link just to prove that's real.
Racists Are Recruiting. Watch Your White Sons.
https://www.nyt imes.com/2019/10/12/opinion/sunday/white-supremacist-recruitment.html
By Joanna Schroeder, 12 October 2019
Parents need to understand how white supremacists prey on teen boys, so they can intervene.
Because nothing says Mommy Cares like being test subjects for her witch hunt how-to manuals.
Raising teenagers can be terrifying. Our squishy little babies become awkward hormonal creatures [GQ: men] who question our authority at every turn.
I expected that. What I didn't predict was that my sons' adolescence would include being drawn to the kind of online content that right-wing extremists use to recruit so many young men.
I twirl my handlebar mustache, don the black hat and offer your impressionable adolescent sons the respect, wisdom and male camaraderie that you couldn't offer them even if you had ever tried.
The first sign was a seemingly innocuous word, used lightheartedly: "triggered."
As my 11- and 14-year-old sons and their friends talked and bantered — phones in hand, as always — in the back seat of the car, one of them shouted it in response to a meme, and they all laughed uproariously.
I almost lost control of the car.
You are overly sensitive.
That's because I know that word — often used to mock people who are hurt or offended by racism as overly sensitive —
*whistles innocently*
is a calling card of the alt-right, which the Anti-Defamation League defines as "a segment of the white supremacist movement consisting of a loose network of racists and anti-Semites who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of politics that embrace implicit or explicit racism, anti-Semitism and white supremacy." People associated with this group are known for trolling those who disagree with them, and calling critics "triggered" is a favorite tactic.
I'm blushing, even though I'm not alt-Right and the ADL is wrong about the alt-Right anyway.
The next red flag: I watched my son scroll through Instagram and double-click on an image, lighting up a heart that signifies a "like."
"Hold on a minute," I said, snatching his phone. "Was that Hitler?"
OHMIGAWD HAHAHAHAHA *gasp gasp* "Was that Hitler?" HAHAHAAAAAA!!!!
The meme showed a man in contemporary clothing tipping off the Nazi leader to the invasion of Normandy. My son said he hadn't even read it, he'd just assumed the time traveler was trying to kill Hitler, not help him. He was shocked and embarrassed when I pointed out the actual message: that it would have been better if the Holocaust had continued.
"I'm not stupid enough to like a Hitler meme on purpose, Mom," he said. "And anyway, I'm sure my friend shared it to be ironic."
We must excuse his fibbing. Had he told the truth, Mommy would have lost control of the car. She was already looking over his shoulder instead of at the road. Would've been very easy to 'trigger' a collision. *ducks*
Belly up to the MGTOW bar, kids. Anybody who likes a good Hitler meme is welcome here and the first [non-alcoholic beverage because you're still underage] is on us.
I didn't see the irony and my son couldn't explain it. I talked to him about the Holocaust, the trauma and violence that Jewish people all over the world still experience and my late friend Edith, whose delicate arm displayed a number tattoo that stopped my heart every time I saw it. He knew all this already, but I worried that he was forgetting. I worried that he was being pulled toward a worldview that would see this painful history as fodder for jokes, or worse, as something to celebrate.
At a time when the F.B.I. reports a 17 percent rise in hate crime incidents from 2016 to 2017, the most recent year for which there is data, white parents like me have had recent, terrifying reminders that we must prevent our sons from becoming indoctrinated by a growing racist movement that thrives online and causes real-life devastation.
I don't mind that they hate us. I mind that they ruin their own childrens' lives in the effort to poison them against us. It's okay to be white, Joanna!
In August, a young white man who admitted to targeting Mexicans killed 22 people in an El Paso Walmart. In New Zealand, 51 people were killed when a gunman attacked mosques filled with worshipers observing Friday prayers. In the past year, a total of 12 worshipers were killed in the U.S. in two hate-motivated attacks on synagogues in Pittsburgh and San Diego.
So what? Is that typical behavior of white men? No!
In each of these cases, the killers were white men with a history of extremism. The San Diego gunman, for instance, left a manifesto on 8chan also claiming responsibility for a mosque fire.
And the San Diego and New Zealand gunmen posted hate-filled online manifestoes that included internet-culture references, such as references to memes and a notorious shout-out to a noteworthy YouTube personality. Both of them mentioned or alluded to the "white genocide" — which the Anti-Defamation League defines as the white-supremacist belief that the white race is "dying" because of growing nonwhite populations and "forced assimilation."
You left out "government-mandated favoritism towards non-whites". Joanna cares more about the ADL's approval than allowing her own sons to think for themselves.
But of course, it's not just that we want to prevent our sons from becoming perpetrators of mass shootings. We want to raise them to be the kind of men who would never march with the neo-Nazis who chanted "Jews will not replace us" in Charlottesville before one of them killed a counterprotester, Heather Heyer. Beyond that, we want to keep them from becoming supporters of the racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and gender- or sexuality-based hatred that is on the rise.
Over-controlling your sons to ensure they don't commit thoughtcrime against the Jew-operated ADL might be the worst possible way to do that.
According to Jackson Katz, author of "The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help," it's not necessarily the ideology behind white nationalism, anti-feminism or the alt-right that initially appeals to young white men and boys as much as it is the sense of being part of a "heroic struggle."
Participating in the alt-right community online "offers the seductive feeling of being part of a brotherhood, which in turn validates their manhood," Dr. Katz says. YouTubers and participants in chat forums like 4chan, the defunct 8chan and Discord "regularly denigrate liberal or progressive white men as soft, emasculated 'soy boys' and insufficiently aggressive or right-wing white men as 'cucks.'"
(((Jackson Katz))). Sometimes I think that the reason the alt-Right is growing so quickly isn't that they're antisemitic, they're PRO-Semitic. They imitate the Jews. They use the same methods towards the same end of building a pure ethno-state. The Jews were able to destroy nationalism but cannot destroy ethno-nationalism without destroying themselves.
It also seems to me, as a mom, that these groups prey upon the natural awkwardness of adolescence. Many kids feel out of place, frustrated and misunderstood, and are vulnerable to the idea that someone else is responsible for their discontent. When they're white and male, they're spoon-fed a list of scapegoats: people of color, feminists, immigrants, L.G.B.T.Q. people. If they really embrace this, it's not hard to convince them that there's a "white genocide" happening and that these people — and the "leftists" who represent their interests — are to blame.
So what can parents do?
Admit the obvious truth instead of punishing their children for correctly perceiving reality.
First, we need to understand how this works.
A favorite activity for many boys is to watch gamers playing video games on YouTube.
That sounds like a double miss. Not only is youTube not a video game platform, they're notorious for persecuting dissident perspectives.
According to John Duffy, author of "Parenting the New Teen in the Age of Anxiety," the problems come with advertisements that may appear during the videos. Kids can be exposed to dozens of ads in a sitting. They might hear about the border, or "Crooked Hillary" or a conspiracy theory on how the left works, Dr. Duffy said. Many of these spots are created and promoted by organizations like PragerU, which, Dr. Duffy notes, is not an accredited university but a propaganda machine that introduces viewers to extremist views via video. And YouTube's recommendation algorithm offers videos that become more and more extreme as viewers watch them.
This bitch be nutz.
"There is a sophisticated psychology at play," Dr. Duffy warns, noting that today's teenagers have been using smartphones and tablets their whole lives. They like to dive deeper into topics that pique their curiosity, which is a great thing. The problem is they often turn to the internet before their parents for answers.
Hands down, we have our Control Freak of the Year!
Google may lead them to white nationalist outlets like The Daily Stormer, where hate and harassment are normalized. Often, they have no idea which sources are reputable.
This fake news is also old news.
They may also find videos by more mainstream figures, including members of the so-called intellectual dark web like Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist and professor at the University of Toronto, whose conservative perspectives on feminism and gender are very popular among young men and often are a path to more extreme content and ideologies.
Such as Vox Day's refutation of Jordan Peterson.
In an interview with the actor Alan Alda for the podcast "Clear+Vivid," Christian Picciolini, a former Nazi, explains that modern white supremacists create friendships and build trust in online spaces such as autism chat rooms and gaming-related forums. They "go to these places and they promise them paradise," he says.
No, that's Islam, you crazy cat bitch who thinks Gamergate is still a thing.
What really hooks many white teenagers is the alt-right's insistence that white men are under attack in America, the true victims of oppression. If your child has already been punished for his opinions, this message is especially resonant. They find a home for their rage, a brotherhood of guys like them, and that oh-so-alluring heroic struggle — and that's how an extremist is born.
Other white teenagers know something is wrong with their ADL dogma-spewing mother who kicked Daddy out of their lives at a young age, drinks too much and loses her mind when they utter phrases like "triggered"… but need a third-party perspective to help them figure things out, because they're so deep in the feminist lies that they can't see daylight.
You don't have to agree with us dissidents. We're satisfied if you listen to us then reach your own conclusions. By contrast, the Left demands goodthink:
Parents also need to encourage our sons how to think critically about the things they're hearing online. One term I've debunked in this way for my kids is "snowflake." An insult embraced by moderate conservatives and the alt-right alike, it's used to dismiss people who complain about racism, sexism or homophobia as laughably delicate.
When one of my kids used it, I smiled and, in a conspiratorial tone, asked him to think about this: Who is more of a delicate snowflake? The person who wants people to stop racial slurs or mocking of gay people or the person who is upset and offended by the use of the phrase "Happy Holidays" — a common talking point during Fox News's infamous War on Christmas segments?
He thought about it and laughed at the irony.
Methinks he was laughing at his delicate snowflake of a mother.
He, like the rest of us, sees that Christmas is promoted everywhere in society and isn't going anywhere. I also took the opportunity to explain that calling someone who is upset or offended a "snowflake" or "triggered" is just a lazy — and often hypocritical — way to justify treating that person poorly. For my sons, this conversation was effective. After all, they don't want to hurt anyone, and they've long understood that a person who refuses to take responsibility and apologize is probably a jerk. But they needed a reminder.
Control Freak of the Year with oak clusters!
Perhaps the best tool is prevention. … If we avoid talking about our values about race and the experiences of marginalized people, strangers on the internet will be happy to share theirs.
"Right now, our fear about addressing race causes us to leave kids guessing," says Shelly Tochluk, a professor of education at Mount Saint Mary's University, Los Angeles, and author of "Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How to Do It." "They fill in the blanks with whatever they see online, and this includes horrifically twisted messages from white nationalists."
That's not education. That's circling the wagons. That's "Two Minute Hates". On your terms, when you're surrounded by allies, you force people to recite the Narrative. Only liars and cowards can pass that test. The devil is pleased with either.
Parents of white kids need to talk about race and racism and how they've played out in this country — a lot. That history includes horrors and tragedies, but as Dr. Tochluk says, it also "includes the fact that there have always been groups of white people in the United States who have fought for freedom and liberty for all."
"In our choices and actions," she says, "white people can align ourselves with that lineage."
Probably the most attractive part of the alt-Right to her sons is them not having to spend their entire lives atoning for the "horrible, tragic crimes" committed by other people centuries ago.
Dr. Katz suggested, "To counteract the seductiveness of that appeal from the right, we need to offer them a better definition of strength: that true strength resides in respecting and lifting up others, not seeking to dominate them."
Stuff your lies, Jew. They don't work on us anymore. How about if YOU do nice things for US at YOUR expense for a change? Because your people need to atone for the horrible USS Liberty attack… never mind that you weren't personally involved.
Requiring all Jewish organizations to have at least 20% Scot/Irish ownership would start the healing. Israel could take a couple million refugees, too.
I'm working hard to instill these values in my kids. But keeping them away from the radical right is a continuing project for me and should be for any parent. I have confidence that they're more equipped than they were a year ago to detect and reject hateful messages, but in the meantime, every time they laugh at a so-called edgy meme, I'm going to make it my mission to find out what's so funny.
You never will, you child-abusing bitch. I pray your children realize the problem isn't them; it's you.

Q: Can't understand this clojure make-adder example I'm trying to read up a bit on Clojure, but I hit a brick wall with the following basic example:
(defn make-adder [x]
  (let [y x]
    (fn [z] (+ y z))))
(def add2 (make-adder 2))
(add2 4)
-> 6

What I don't understand is how is add2 passing the number 4 to the make-adder function, and how does that function turn assigns that number to z.
Thanks in advance!

A: make-adder returns a function that takes one parameter (z), the parameter passed in to make-adder is used to assign a value to y. add2 is set equal to the result of evaluating make-adder with a parameter of 2. So add2 is set equal to the function returned from make-adder, which (since y has been assigned to the parameter from make-adder) looks like
(fn [z] (+ 2 z))

So (add2 4) calls this function which evaluates to 6. Does that help?

A: To me, it seems you are working on an interesting problem.
Your example make-adder function (rewritten without let bindings)
(defn make-adder [x]
  "Returns a function that returns the sum of x and yet to be supplied z."
  (fn [z] (+ z x))))

returns a function that sums x and z, where make-adder has to have already been called with a value. I believe your example is implementing the Clojure partial function, which is pretty cool.
Here is your make-adder function rewritten to sum its two parameters, and not return a function (so we can use partial in add2),
(defn make-adder
  "Returns sum of x and y."
  [x y]
  (+ x y))

and here is add2 rewritten using partial with 2 as the x parameter:
(def add2 (partial make-adder 2))

If I call (add2 2) the answer is 4, (add2 3), the answer is 5 and so on.


"The crib scene kills me," Mark Athitakis said on Twitter when I remarked that I was half-way through Plainsong and loving it. At that time I hadn't reached the crib scene yet, but when I did, I knew what he meant. It epitomizes the novel's perfect balance of sweet and strong, tough (even, sometimes, brutal) and tender. It's faintly comical, but also deeply touching.
The title and epigraph of Plainsong direct us to music: "plainsong," we're told, is "the unisonous vocal music used in the Christian church from the earliest times" and also "any simple and unadorned melody." I looked up "unisonous" myself to be sure I was making the right sense of that definition: it means "identical in pitch." The implicit contrast, then, I suppose, is with harmony and counterpoint — with musical arrangements built on difference and complexity, rather than similarity and simplicity.
I find that interesting, because Plainsong itself seemed to me built on very different notes, one for each story: the little brothers, so close together in their apartness from their mother; their father the teacher, shaping life and meaning as best he can on the farm, in the school, or in the privacy of his own loneliness; the young girl, crossing too soon into the risks and responsibilities of motherhood; the old brothers, my favorites, staunch and generous in their clumsy humanity. Haruf's genius is the blunt delicacy with which he brings out each of these elements, so seemingly singular, then creates something resonant out of their combination.
Afterward, when she was calm again, after the doctor had left, she went into the air outside the Holt County Clinic next to the hospital, and the light in the street seemed sharp to her and hard-edged, definite, as if it were no longer merely a late fall afternoon in the hour before dusk, but instead as if it were the first moment of noon in the exact meridian of summer and she was standing precisely under the full illumination of the sun.
They set out in the cold bright day . . . driving north toward Holt, passing through town and under the new water tower and carrying on north, the country flat and whitepatched with snow and the wheat stubble and the cornstalks sticking up blackly out of the frozen ground and the winter wheat showing in the fall-planted fields as green as jewelry. Once they saw a lone coyote in the open, running, a steady distance-covering lope, its long tail floating out behind like a trail of smoke.
You think she's going to be all right? Raymond said.
She's young. She's strong and healthy. But you don't ever know what might could happen. You can't tell.
There's great compassion for animals in the novel, but their care requires a pragmatic brutality that doesn't transfer exactly to people. The crib scene shows the McPheron brothers, hardly used to human conversation, let alone more elaborate forms of interaction, first finding then expressing the grace that lifts Haruf's simple stories into something approaching sublimity. It's a perfectly mundane activity, of course, shopping for a crib, but it's joyous to see these rough men discover Victoria's needs — not for the crib, or not just, but for belonging — and act on their insight. Through their act of practical grace, they show her she is not alone, and that ultimately gives her the courage to take up the place they have offered her in their lives.
Maybe that's really the unisonous aspect of Plainsong: each story in its own way follows this same path, from disconnection and loss to unity. I appreciated that Haruf does not make the process seem easy, or ignore how painful even love can be. He leaves us, though, with an uplifting image of community — again, something simple, just a dinner, but everyone has taken a pilgrimage of sorts to get there. "Honey," Maggie Jones said earlier to Victoria as the girl imagines being, going, somewhere else. "Victoria. Listen to me. You're here now. This is where you are."
