Many academics stop because educating is troublesome and, to compound this circumstance, many faculty and faculty district administrations practice micromanagement and a lack of help that drives academics away.
You can just go away that cute little thing off of the s or the e, lol. What I wish to do is EXPOSE these problems in order that our young and vunerable college students get the educations that they deserve. In spite of the negativity, I do imagine that vocational training does have its place in greater training. However, to ensure that our tax dollars to be used effectively, and in one of the best interest of our college students, we'd like someone minding the money farm.
June 1 Louisiana is embarking on the nation's boldest experiment in privatizing public education, with the state making ready to shift tens of hundreds of thousands in tax dollars out of the public colleges to pay non-public industry, companies house owners and church pastors to educate youngsters.

Placing human rights at the centre of EU-GCC relations.
Gulf (Regional Issues)
On the occasion of the EU-GCC Joint Co-operation Council, to be held on the 26th of May 2008, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) calls upon all parties to address key human rights issues and to set up a common strategy for the practical implementation of their joint commitments in this field.
At the end of the last EU-GCC Joint Co-operation Council held in May 2007 in Riyadh, both parties released a joint communiqué where they "reaffirmed that they share the universal values of respect for human rights and democratic principles, which form an essential element of their relations."1 Moreover, the FIDH notes and welcomes that during her recent visit to the GCC countries, External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner highlighted human rights issues by meeting with human rights defenders in Bahrain on the 16 April 2008, and publicly assuring that human rights would seriously be taken into account during the ongoing free trade agreement negotiations.
FIDH welcomes these commitments but remains deeply preoccupied by the situation of human rights in the following fields:
Respect for democratic principles, rule of law and political rights
Fundamental freedoms: freedom of press, expression and association
Independence of the judiciary
Situation of human rights defenders, the rights of women and the rights of migrants.
In order to reach effective and visible changes, FIDH urges both parties to take into consideration the following recommendations:
Establishing concrete tools for monitoring the human rights situation and its evolution within the EU-GCC political dialogue.
Systematically put human rights concerns on the agenda of bilateral political dialogues at all levels.
Systematically assess the situation of human rights on the basis of UN special procedures and human rights NGOs reports.
Establish concrete benchmarks in order to regularly monitor the implementation of commitments and efforts undertaken by both parties.
Hold systematic consultations with EU and GCC independent human rights NGOs ahead of official meetings in order to take into account their assessment of the human rights' situation in situ and thus update the monitoring process.
Increasing EU support to Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) in GCC countries, in accordance with the operational chapter of the Council Guidelines on HRDs.
Encourage the Heads of Mission of the EC delegations and the Ambassadors of the Member Sates to reinforce the implementation of the following actions of support to HRDs, as defined in EU Guidelines on HRDs:
- "co-ordinating closely and sharing information on human rights defenders, including those at risk;
- maintaining, suitable contacts with human rights defenders, including by receiving them in Missions and visiting their areas of work, consideration could be given to appointing specific liaison officers, where necessary on a burden sharing basis, for this purpose;
- providing, as and where appropriate, visible recognition to human rights defenders, through the use of appropriate publicity, visits or invitations;
- attending and observing, where appropriate, trials of human rights defenders."
Ensuring that the currently negotiated Free Trade Agreement will be fully compatible with EU and GGC international obligation in the field of human rights.
Ensure, during the current negotiations on FTA, that the final agreement will have no negative impact on the enjoyment of human rights in GCC countries;
Ensure that the agreement it signs contributes to the establishment of a free and fair social order and the realization of human rights;
Carry out ex ante human rights impact assessment (HRIA) to evaluate the potential impact of the FTA on human rights in the partner countries, and ex post HRIA to allow for potential revision of the agreement if necessary.
Please find attached a note on the situation of human rights in the Gulf countries, prepared by FIDH and its member and partner organisations, covering the points that were raised during their visit to Brussels in March 2008.

As faculty headed into buildings for the first day of meetings to start the 2020-21 academic year, the signs were everywhere that the school was launching into a year that promises to be different from any in its long history.
Faculty donned masks in the parking lots. They were greeted at entrance doors by new thermal scanners, which checked their temperatures. They waved excitedly to see one another but maintained physical distancing, even after a summer in which the COVID-19 pandemic upended many plans and kept families restricted from large gatherings.
Despite the changes in effect--and those yet to come--the restoration of core traditions that shape the beginning of each year anchored the community with enthusiasm, resolve, and a sense of renewal.
Headmaster Dennis Manning greeted faculty--gathered on Zoom rather than in the Johnson Theater--with a reminder that this year, the 293rd year since the school's chartering, has been denoted as the Year of Courage. His invocation drew on a sermon from one of the nation's most courageous crusaders for justice, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who spoke of establishing "a kingdom of understanding, where men and women will live together as brothers and sisters and respect the dignity and worth of every human being."
Observing a school tradition, President of the Board of Trustees Alfred M. Randolph Jr. '80 addressed the faculty. Mr. Randolph is Chief Growth Officer and Vice President for Associate Recruitment at Kaufman & Canoles. An alumnus of the school, a parent of three sons (Ranny '14, Christian '18, and Peyton '21), and a Board member for 18 years, he referenced his profound sense of connection to, and appreciation for, the faculty.
"I have been so impressed by your ability, your sacrifice, and your love for the Academy," he said. "So as we launch into a new school year with many unique and historic challenges ahead, I approach them all with a sense of confidence knowing we are partnered with you."
He outlined a set of pledges that the Board of Trustees was making to support the faculty and strengthen the school during this particularly challenging period, which included several that spoke to the current national moment:
"We pledge to make sure that you have the financial resources and educational assets to do your job at the highest level. And most important, we pledge to be best in class when it comes to delivering a safe work environment."
"We pledge to work with you to enhance the spirit of pluralism at the Academy and to promote a more inclusive environment and community that through curricular change, hiring, and enrollment, delivers on and celebrates a culture of diversity and equity that rejects racism and fosters a deep sense of belonging."
"We pledge to insure that the Academy's signature leadership programs enjoy full institutional support, so that the leaders we produce can be the very leaders of the future who will solve the intractable problems of today."
Mr. Randolph closed by expressing his own and the Board's commitment to delivering on these pledges, ending his remarks with a favorite Bible verse from the Book of Joshua with the inspirational call, "Be strong and courageous."
On the first day of meetings, faculty members also met with Jonathan Zur, executive director of the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities (VCIC), to discuss building a school culture with inclusion and equity at the center. Pluralism is one of the major prongs of Norfolk Academy's Strategic Plan, Creating a Just Society: Integrity, Leadership, and Pluralism, and the faculty chairs of the school's Pluralism Committee have been working with Headmaster Dennis Manning throughout the summer, which included preparation for professional development at the start of the year.
Faculty learned more details about some of the safety measures that the school is undertaking in its phased approach to in-person learning, which includes onsite testing of faculty, staff, and students. Meetings and professional development continue in the days ahead.
Headmaster Dennis Manning addressed faculty and staff on August 19, 2020.

Now here's a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX five hundred running shoe, and, since it originally is from the '80s, the gaming galvanized design and coloring is a simple choice ... Right? The kicks would possibly not be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game based on ... The shoe itself.
GameCulture writes the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking thugs, collect power-ups, and pull off mad rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts.

My second day at 10th Chennai Film Festival. I wanted to go for a Hungarian movie that was being screened in the Inox-2 screen, instead, I found myself delayed and in the Inox-3 screen. Here legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray's acclaimed movie Pather Panchali was being shown. I have been wanting to see this movie, but somehow carried an impression it will be too slow for me to watch. When I saw the movie I liked it a lot. For a movie made in 1955 this movie was remarkable in all aspects – the depicting of a common village life, struggles of poor shown without any cinema polishing, the scenes, characters and the editing. You realise how many movies made in the last six decades across India & Worldwide have been influenced by this movie.

Menopausal? Yes. But at 50 I'm hotter than I was in my 20s
Cally Beaton
As an older woman, I've never been more comfortable in my own skin. And I still wouldn't be seen dead in a linen blazer

I'm new to being 50 and I'm waiting for it to happen to me: the moment when I vanish without trace. My 51st year started with the B-list French celebrity Yann Moix making global headlines after saying that women over 50 were invisible. (Fun fact: he had to put out a request to stop fiftysomething women spamming him with pictures of their perky body parts in the aftermath. Poor him. )
It turns out that he prefers the "extraordinary" body of a 25-year-old. The thing is, at 50 I know I am objectively more attractive than I was in my 20s, when I was unhappy, insecure, overweight and all round not conventionally hot. I am more attractive than I was in my 30s (raising young kids and juggling a big day job with splitting up with their dad) or in my early- to mid-40s (perimenopause hitting hard and somewhat losing my shit, or at least my way, for a few years).
It took me until my late 40s to start to see myself more clearly. I ditched my career, the kids ditched me (empty nest, not family row), and I began a new life as a performer and standup comedian. Everything was exciting and wobbly and up for grabs and now, performing on stage, radio and TV, I feel I have never been more visible.
After a five-decade gestation, I've given birth to a darling little bundle of self-esteem.
In an article about looking forward to the menopause recently, the Observer's Eva Wiseman had me nodding in agreement right up until the mention of the "linen blazers" and "big plastic jewellery" she seems to think all menopausal women succumb to.
At newly 50, I'm as likely to don a "swishy cardigan" as I am to run for a bus in my knickers, or to run for a bus at all. Much is said of the happiness curve that goes up in your 50s, but is there an assumption that the experience of increased happiness is connected to losing one's looks? Because I see nothing contradictory about being a woman in your 50s and still being, or indeed wanting to be, fanciable. And I don't expect this to stop in my 60s, 70s and beyond.
The unflinching monologue on womanhood delivered by Kristin Scott Thomas's character Belinda in the latest season of Fleabag in which she spoke of the menopause being something to celebrate because you feel free, no longer "a machine with parts", will surely be on the curriculum by the time all the babies called Archie start school.
But I still care whether strangers think I'm pretty, and about whether I'm wearing the most flattering jeans style. And I still worry that my career may be the next thing to crumble to dust, right after my ovaries. If not caring about those things would be liberating, perhaps I have yet to be liberated or to stop being a crap feminist. Yet I do feel freer now – as if, after a five-decade gestation, I've given birth to a darling little bundle of self-esteem.
Being single and 50 doesn't mean that I'm not out dating lovely, eligible people. But just like a real person, I'll stay single until I find a relationship worth not being single for; I'm guessing the people I'm dating feel the same way. The menopause isn't redemptive – it's full of pain and loss, sweat and tears; and above all, it isn't one-size-fits-all. But I'm feeling better on the inside than I've ever felt (still a mess, but a bit less of one) and OK with how I look on the outside.
So don't make pitying assumptions about invisible women. Maybe the only thing you can't see is how good things are. Invisibility is one of the UK's most wished-for superpowers, after all.

We named these round bits, in various grades and sizes the 'Burr Bit' because it was called a cuticle bit by manufacturers- BUT its not designed for the cuticle on the nail plate, its intended for the Eponychium, the hard skin above the nail plate. This bit is a Coarser grit, large metal 'ball shaped', bit, used for hard skin & Eponychium clean up, or removing loose cuticle thats been lifted from the nail plate. NOT for the natural nail. Refer to your e-file training or Russian manicure training for use. Due to the nature of the Burrs use & required cleaning of them the lifetime of them is about 3-5 months.


Another week, another episode of Recent Record Pick-Ups. Definitely got some real gems time around so make sure you check this one out! And the other episodes while you're at it!
Hello @rawselectmusic! I've tried to play your video on Steemit and then on eSteem but for some reason both dapps say the video is not available and sends me to YouTube, where the video can be played without any problems.
You have a nice collection here, different artists I know nothing about, so shame on me but it's a good occasion to learn something about each band.

I was delighted to be commissioned by the ever busy Society of Recorder players. I've always loved the recorder. One of my primary school teachers believed that most of the world's problems could be solved by three things: multiplication tables, Scottish country dancing [an unusual choice for a school on the south coast] and learning to play the recorder. I seem to remember everyone learnt and masking music together in groups was the norm. Without this experience, I doubt I'd have become a composer so I remember Mrs Sopp and the recorder fondly.

When I was traveling across country, everyone I encountered just had to tell me about his or her favorite television show. Yes, Americans passionately love their television shows, and I constantly got pulled into conversations about shows I'd never seen.
As I listened to people expound about Game of Thrones and Mad Men, I wondered what current show was my favorite. The answer came quickly. Top Gear on BBC America.
Yes, I drive an eleven year old Chevy with a squeaky belt, and I love Top Gear UK.
Yes, I am a chick, and I love Top Gear UK.
Top Gear is a show about cars. They drive cars, they test cars, they talk about cars. There are other Top Gears, but I think the UK is the funniest. Their feats of sardonic wit have made me double over with laughter. This got just a bit dangerous as I was running on a treadmill at the time.
Top Gear has three co-hosts. None of them are heart-throb material nor annoyingly hipster. There's James May, the aging hippie. There's Jeremy Clarkson, the tall fella with curly hair who is too smart for his own good. Finally, there's Richard Hammond, the short fella who could be the heart-throb but really isn't and gets grief for his very white teeth.
The Top Gear hosts don't just drive cars. They love cars with a pure, unembarrassed, totally sincere, unironic love. They describe cars with language that borders on bad poetry.
However, it's not all a flower garden of petrol burning love. They have their issues. They don't think too highly of Prius (I say pre-us, they say pry-us) owners or caravans (we call them motor homes). They regularly offend other countries, but as an American, I must say their muscle car trip to Bonneville to make an information (not entertainment) documentary was hilarious.
There is also the Stig, an anonymous silent race car driver who tests super fast cars around a track. I always admired the zen of the Stig; then I learned that the Stig did not get respect and walked. There is now a new Stig. Please Top Gear, respect the Stig.
Even with the controversy, I'll still watch Top Gear, and I don't just tune in to see the celebrity lap in a reasonably priced car. In fact, most of the celebrities are boring and understeer on Gambon.
The show gets really fun when the hosts go on misadventures with cars. It's rare that grown men are allowed play with grownup toys. They usually have to be responsible and sensitive. They have to care. These guys are just themselves in that guy way. They're not going to solve the world's problems, and they're probably contributing to global warming.
But so what. They're selling a fantasy. I will probably never drive a Ferrari around a test track (although it looks like fun, and I'd like to try if possible, but first you'd have to teach me how to drive stick).
They know it's a fantasy, and we know it's a fantasy, and they know that we know it's a fantasy. It's okay to have a little fantasy on TV. It doesn't have to be reality all the time.
One of the funniest misadventures on Top Gear was the Amphibious Car in a reservoir challenge. Clarkson's meltdown at the end is hilarious:


Fostered by Hannah in Bristol, CT.
"They are becoming much more friendly, often coming to the door of the cage to investigate my voice and are getting more and more comfortable taking treats and being transported to their "out" space. Although occasionally Donnie still squeaks when picked up. They are also willing to climb you and explore actively when out with me.
They are also very interested in puzzle toys and things that require a little more work to play with in the cage! They seem to learn very quickly.

Race recap: Team ends 2021 season with battling Abu Dhabi GP showing
Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team ended its maiden F1 season in the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
A wild championship decider featured a late Safety Car that could have provided the team with a points-scoring finish, but on-track events went against both Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll.
Sebastian began the Grand Prix from 15th on a set of new Medium tyres and demonstrated good early pace.
The German moved past team-mate Lance at the end of the long backstraight, moving into 14th through Turn Six on lap six of 58.
Sebastian continued to lap competitively until he caught up to the Alfa Romeo of Antonio Giovinazzi.
Significant time spent behind the Alfa Romeo hurt Sebastian's race, but he cycled into the top 10 when the Soft-tyre runners pitted early in the race.
"I think we had some decent pace today, but we were unfortunately stuck behind the Alfa Romeo of [Antonio] Giovinazzi for too long, and that cost us too much time," reflected Sebastian.
Sebastian made his only pitstop of the race on lap 23 to switch to a new set of Hard tyres.
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Uncover the story of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with our in-depth race report. Discover the data underpinning our race and hear from Lance, Sebastian and CEO & Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer as they review the Yas Marina race.
Lance Stroll, 2021 Abu Dhabi GP
Pitting from 10th, he returned in 16th and gained places through retirements for both Giovinazzi and Williams's George Russell.
"When we were in clear air, the pace was good, but there was only so much we could do," added Sebastian.
But with six laps remaining, Nicholas Latifi's crash caused a late Safety Car, and Sebastian was waved through by race control to unlap himself.
Lining up 13th at the race resumption, Sebastian gained two places, but fell narrowly short of the points.
Lance started the Grand Prix from 13th on a set of new Medium tyres.
He battled the Williams's Russell and Latifi early on before settling into 15th, later cycling into 11th when the Soft-tyre runners pitted.
On lap 21, Lance made his first stop of the race to switch onto a set of new Hard tyres.
In his second stint, Lance made progress as Russell, Giovinazzi and Latifi retired.
When the Safety Car caused by Latifi occurred, Lance and the team reacted swiftly by pitting for a set of used Soft tyres.
But the Safety Car decision went against the team as drivers ahead of Lance were waved past to unlap the field.
"It was a tricky race today, and we were not able to benefit from the late Safety Car because we were not waved through to overtake, which was frustrating, and I did not understand," said Lance.
"It was a late chance to make up some places and potentially aim for points after we made the decision to pit again."
Unable to maximise the Soft tyres as a result, Lance settled for 13th at the finish.
"P13 is not how we wanted to end the season, and my 100th Grand Prix, but we have learned a lot this year that will put us in good stead for 2022," added Lance.
"It has been great to be a part of Aston Martin's first year back in Formula One, and I am sure there is a bright future ahead."
CEO & Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer paid tribute to the men and women who have worked tirelessly to drive the team forward – at the Silverstone HQ and trackside around the world – in a challenging season.
With a well-earned rest around the corner, Otmar said: "I want to thank our staff back at the factory, and at the races, who never gave up all season.
"They will come back refreshed next year, ready to push for better results than we have had this year."
Celebrating Lance's milestone


Missing out on summer activities can be devastating for sick children, who already feel alienated from their friends. The summer vacation is supposed to be a time of fun and freedom, and at Or Menachem we make sure sick children won't get left behind!
We realize these kids can't spend their time with other kids their age. That's why every year, we operate a unique summer day camp for sick children and their siblings, completely free of charge. The summer day camp offers an exciting program full of special attractions and indulging meals, and suited specifically for sick children requiring special care.

Call out his lies. He depends on them.
just calling out deceit is insufficient. It is essential as well to understand why Trump tells particular lies at particular moments and to be hardheaded in judging how effective they are.
.. Republicans on the ballot this fall should be asked if they see Pelosi as an "MS-13 lover," and if not, whether they will denounce Trump for saying such a thing. I am not holding my breath.
.. Yet sometimes Trump engages in a perverse form of transparency. He signaled clearly that the whole point of his screed — during which he also re-upped his claim that Mexico would pay for his border wall — was about the midterm elections. Immigration, he said, is "a good issue for us, not for them."
.. Why immigration? It's not the central concern of most voters. A Gallup survey in May found that 10 percent of Americans listed it as the most important problem facing the country. And Trump's wall is not popular — in a recent CBS News poll, 59 percent of Americans were against building it.
.. But currently, Trump and the Republicans aren't focused on the majority of Americans. They are petrified that their own loyalists do not seem very motivated about voting in November.
.. just 26 percent of Americans strongly approved of Trump's job performance, compared with 41 percent who strongly disapproved.
.. Trump and his party feel they need to screech loudly to get their side back into the game, and attacking immigration (going back to Mexican "rapists") is the signature Trump talking point.
.. Republican House candidates are following Trump's lead, according to a USA Today study published Tuesday, "blanketing the airwaves with TV ads embracing a hard line on immigration." By contrast, health care was the topic most invoked in Democratic spots. The GOP's emphasis may shift some after the primaries, but Republicans seem to know that wedge issues are more useful to them than their record.
.. Political polarization has many sources, but the prime cause of it now is the president himself. Polarization defines Trump's survival strategy, and it means that demagoguery —
toward immigrants,
toward crime,
toward special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's probe,
toward dissenting NFL players,
toward anyone who takes him on
— is what his presidency is all about.
.. What thus needs exposing is not simply Trump's indifference to the truth but also the fact that he depends upon the kinds of lies that will tear our country to pieces.

Chris Hayes: What 'Law and Order' Means to Trump
No president since Richard Nixon has embraced the weaponized rhetoric of "law and order" as avidly as Mr. Trump. "When I take the oath of office next year, I will restore law and order to our country," he said during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in 2016. "I will work with, and appoint, the best prosecutors and law enforcement officials in the country to get the job properly done. In this race for the White House, I am the law and order candidate."
Time and again, the president denounces "illegals" and "criminals" and the "American carnage" they wreak on law-abiding Americans. He even advised an audience of police officers to rough up suspects they were arresting.
.. Yet this tough-guy stance disappears when the accused are in the president's inner circle. In defending Rob Porter, the White House senior aide accused of abuse by both of his ex-wives, the president wondered whatever happened to due process while praising a man accused of giving his wife a black eye. (Mr. Porter denies the abuse.)
.. Where was this concern for due process, they asked, when the president and his supporters chanted "Lock her up" about Hillary Clinton, who hadn't even been formally accused of a crime? Where was his devotion to due process when he called for the Central Park Five to be executed, and then, after their exoneration, still maintained that they were guilty?
.. The president's boundless benefit of the doubt for the Rob Porters and Roy Moores of the world, combined with off-with-their-heads capriciousness for immigrants accused of even minor crimes, is not a contradiction. It is the expression of a consistent worldview that he campaigned on and has pursued in office.
.. In this view, crime is not defined by a specific offense. Crime is defined by who commits it. If a young black man grabs a white woman by the crotch, he's a thug and deserves to be roughed up by police officers. But if Donald Trump grabs a white woman by the crotch in a nightclub (as he's accused of doing, and denies), it's locker-room high jinks.
This view is also expressed by many of the president's staff members, supporters and prominent allies. During the same week that the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, repeatedly vouched for Rob Porter's integrity, Mr. Kelly also mused that hundreds of thousands of unauthorized immigrants who did not fill out the paperwork for DACA protections had refused to "get off their asses."
A political movement that rails against "immigrant crime" while defending alleged abusers and child molesters is one that has stopped pretending to have any universalist aspirations.
The president's moral framework springs from an American tradition of cultivating fear and contempt among its white citizens against immigrants, indigenous people and people of color, who are placed on the other side of "the law." It's a practice that has taken on new strength at a time when many white people fear they may be outnumbered, outvoted and out of time.
This is the opposite of what we like to tell ourselves is the traditional American civic creed: one symbolized by a blindfolded Lady Justice who applies the law without fear or favor to whoever may come before her. It is one of Mr. Trump's most insidious victories that he has given his supporters permission to drop any pretense of insisting that their actions and views should conform to this principle.
If all that matters when it comes to "law and order" is who is a friend and who is an enemy, and if friends are white and enemies are black or Latino or in the wrong party, then the rhetoric around crime and punishment stops being about justice and is merely about power and corruption.
And this is what "law and order" means: the preservation of a certain social order, not the rule of law.
.. The history of the United States is the story of a struggle between the desire to establish certain universal rights and the countervailing desire to preserve a particular social order.
We are now witnessing a president who wholly embraces the latter. America can have that kind of social order, or it can have justice for all. But it can't have both.

Billy Graham Built a Movement. Now His Son Is Dismantling It.
If you want to understand the evangelical decline in the United States, look no further than the transition from Billy to Franklin Graham.
.. in 1949, William Randolph Hearst looked at the handsome thirtysomething evangelist with flowing blond hair and famously directed editors in his publishing empire to "puff Graham."
.. the puffery never stopped.
.. while the nineteenth-century lawyer-turned-evangelist Charles Finney must be credited with inventing modern revivalism, Graham perfected and scaled it, turning evangelicalism into worldwide impulse that has transformed Christianity in recent decades in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
.. But almost two decades ago, Graham handed over the keys of the empire to his son, Franklin. And if you want to chart the troubled recent course of American evangelicalism—its powerful rise after World War II and its surprisingly quick demise in recent years—you need look no further than this father-and-son duo of Billy and Franklin Graham.
.. The father was a powerful evangelist who turned evangelicalism into the dominant spiritual impulse in modern America.
His son is—not to put too fine a point on it—a political hack, one who is rapidly rebranding evangelicalism as a belief system marked not by faith, hope, and love but by fear of Muslims and homophobia.
.. Graham got into bed with the wrong man in Richard Nixon. And while he must be praised for integrating his revivals (which he called crusades) and for inviting the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. to deliver an invocation at his massive New York City crusade in 1957, he was missing in action when it came to civil rights legislation.
.. After King imagined in his 1963 "I Have a Dream Speech" a "beloved community" in which "little black boys and little black girls will join hands with little white boys and white girls," Graham dismissed that dream as utopian. "Only when Christ comes again will the little white children of Alabama walk hand in hand with little black children," he said.
.. ultimately chastened by his chumminess with Nixon
.. worked hard to transcend the racism and anti-Semitism that swirled around him as a farm boy in North Carolina
.. understood (at his best) that the Christian message (at its best) is about love rather than fear, inclusion rather than exclusion.
.. When asked to join in common cause with Jerry Falwell after the foundation of the Moral Majority in 1979, Graham refused to yoke his organization to the cultural wars of the Religious Right and the Republican Party.
.. Shortly after 9/11, Franklin Graham provided the sound bite of today's culture wars when he denounced Islam as "a very wicked and evil religion." He later became thestandard bearer for the view that Islam is, in his words "a religion of hatred . . . a religion of war."
.. In addition to purveying the birther nonsense
.. suggested that President Barack Obama was not a Christian and might in fact be a secret Muslim.
.. he demonstrates no awareness of the ways in which his political pronouncements are breaking down the evangelical witness his father devoted so much energy to building up.
.. During World War II era, European churches were hurt badly by the affiliation of Christianity with right-wing political movements
.. Americans witnessed a powerful religious revival after the war, thanks in part to Billy Graham. That revival is over. Religion is now declining in the United States, and evangelicalism with it
.. the portion of white evangelical Protestants in the United States declined from 23 percent to 17 percent.
.. 27 percent of Americans describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious" and another 18 percent as "neither religious nor spiritual."
.. There are many reasons for this decline in religious believing and belonging. But the most important in my view is the increasing identification of the Christian churches with right-wing politics.
.. Reinhold Niebuhr, who criticized Graham for his "pietistic individualism" and his neglect of social sin.
.. stuck for the most part to his simpler message that the world would be saved only through individual regeneration.
.. mistake the gospel of Christ for the gospel of American civilization.
.. Graham had a humility almost entirely lost among the public preachers of our day, his eldest son included.

The Modern Epic of Denunciation
The media is driving the story line but we all are caught up in the moral drama.
We seem to have entered a period of nonstop mutual denunciation. This is particularly useful to the media, which can fill pages and airtime with nonevents that reporters and pundits invent and then cover. It is useful, too, in providing simple moral guidelines by which a person can establish superior virtue without having to do anything.
.. Yet Democratic condemnations of Al Franken began flowing within minutes of the story's breaking
.. Pundits speculate that Republicans would prefer Roy Moore to lose his Senate race because, if he wins, he will be hung around their necks for years. They will be called upon repeatedly to denounce him, repudiate him, distance themselves from him. Like Odysseus, they will be on a long, difficult, epic journey. Unlike the "Odyssey," however, their story will have no end or point.
What mainly drives the events of the "Denunciad," as the gods do the "Odyssey," is the media, which has discovered an endless fount of news—a sort of fire hydrant of youth. Suppose that Person X makes an inappropriate remark, and you are a news director charged with covering the story. By itself, it's liable to fade pretty quickly, yet there are 24 hours of live updates to fill.
.. The people doing the reporting—CNN is particularly adamant about this—insist they are merely providing facts: It is an objective truth that Mr. Trump hadn't condemned Mr. Moore, or that some senator hadn't repudiated Mr. Trump's non-condemnation.
.. But, objectively speaking, many other things didn't happen today either. Editors don't pluck other non-occurrences from the ether and then send people out to cover them. Why is Mr. Trump waiting so long to condemn the Hells Angels rally in Nowheresville? The president hasn't denounced North Korea in the past six hours: Does that signal a change in policy?
What the "Denunciad" demands, rather, is a public performance of self-righteousness—a moral dramatization.
.. America's very own national epic, like England's "Dunciad," seems mostly to deliver lessons about how concerned we are with keeping up appearances and establishing some sort of moral pecking order.

Flood in Macedonia has killed 20 so far
BY Libyan Express	 Aug 07, 2016 - 19:08
At least 20 people have died in floods that hit the Macedonian capital, Skopje, following torrential rain.
The victims' bodies were found on Sunday morning after the storm passed. Several people are still missing.
Some of the victims drowned in their cars. Parts of the city's ring road were swept away in the floods, dragging cars into nearby fields.
Three-and-a-half inches (93mm) of rain fell in Skopje in the storm – more than the average for the whole of August.
The water level reached as high as five feet (1.5 metres) in some of the affected areas, reports said.
"Everything was a mess. Televisions, the fridge, the sofa, everything was floating… it was a nightmare," said Baze Spriovski, a 43-year-old from Singelic in the outskirts of Skopje.
Many homes remain flooded and without electricity; some are reported to have collapsed.
The authorities have declared a crisis situation in Skopje and Tetovo for the next 15 days, the Macedonian Information Agency said.

New ADA Laws Could Provide Relief - News - Resources - Allied Commercial Real Estate, Inc.
Relief may be in sight for property and business owners from the rampant abuse by predatory ADA plaintiffs.
Relief may be in sight for property and business owners from the rampant abuse by predatory ADA plaintiffs. As many have experienced, California law allowed a disabled person who encountered an accessibility violation to immediately sue without prior notice or opportunity to cure. These "professional" litigants typically sued for the minimum statutory damages of $4,000 per violation, plus attorney's fees. Quite often, the same plaintiff would claim multiple violations at a single property. Even with a violation that was minor or caused no injury, most property and business owners typically opted to settle since it was less expensive.
Recent changes to the law are intended to assist California landlords, tenants and business owners by implementing three major adjustments. First, the new law encourages property and business owners to reduce their exposure in ADA lawsuits by hiring a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) to evaluate the property. Second, the law requires new commercial leases which are effective as of July 1, 2013 to disclose whether the property has been inspected by a CASp. Lastly, the new law imposes strict and rigorous new procedures on attorneys in pursuing alleged violations of construction-related disability access laws.
While the new law does not require business or property owners to hire a CASp, any property or business owner who obtains a CASp inspection and corrects an unintentional violation within 60 days of a complaint would only be liable for statutory damages of $1,000 per offense (instead of $4,000). As a practical matter, obtaining a CASp inspection allows the owner to proactively fix any identified violations, which would save any fines and penalties if the violation were discovered by a governmental authority. Because small businesses cannot afford CASp reports as readily, the new law reduces the $4,000 fine to $2,000 if a small business corrects an unintentional violation within 30 days of being served, even without a CASp inspection.
When a CASp inspects the premises and deems it compliant with disability access laws, the landlord or tenant will receive an inspection certificate. This certificate reflects diligence and compliance with disability access requirements. The CASp inspection stickers that are provided upon completion should be visibly displayed, which helps to reduce exposure to disability access lawsuits. Also, the CASp inspection can be cited as evidence in defense of private litigation arising from claims by property purchasers, tenants and/or customers on disability access issues.
A disadvantage of obtaining a CASp inspection could be the discovery of problems which would have to be corrected, or at minimum disclosed to potential buyers or tenants. The CASp will inspect not only the individual premises leased but also common areas, such as bathrooms, elevators and building lobbies, increasing the probability of a disability access issue being discovered.
Effective as of July 1st, 2013, new commercial leases must state whether a CASp report was obtained and its outcome. Obtaining a CASp inspection is not required, but its absence may prompt the tenant to require the landlord to either undertake or pay for such inspection. Obtaining a CASp report will help assess whether the leased premises violate accessibility laws, the estimated costs of correcting any violation, and the associated exposure from potential accessibility lawsuits.
Finally, attorneys pursuing alleged claims of disability access law violations are now prohibited from sending letters demanding money in lieu of filing a lawsuit. Instead, attorneys will be required to disclose the alleged violation in significant detail so that property owners are able to easily identify any violations. A form written advisory is also required to be provided with each demand letter.
While the added requirements imposed on "professional" litigants can be overcome without much difficulty, property and business owners can preemptively conduct CASp inspections and reduce their exposure. Being proactive in conducting these inspections and making the required corrections is the only surefire way to limit financial exposure to accessibility lawsuits.

Our lifeline of virtual care for Barbara
Friday 23rd July 2021
84 year old Barbara Buxton, is one of hundreds of our patients who found themselves isolated when the UK went into lock-down.
Barbara is sharing her story to raise awareness of our Summer Appeal; raising funds to continue to care for patients who, like Barbara, must still remain at home due to their medical condition.
Donate to our Summer Appeal
Barbara spent 10 years caring for her husband, Ray after he was diagnosed with cancer. Our Hospice at Home nurses helped care for Ray in his final months.
I wouldn't speak to a single person from one week to the next.
When the UK went into lockdown, Barbara, who has respiratory disease COPD, was advised to shield and she lost contact with friends.
I ended up indoors by myself all day. I wouldn't speak to a single person from one week to the next.
"Because I'm unable to walk far due to my COPD, I started to feel depressed and quickly found myself isolated."
At the start of the pandemic, we had to close our doors to patients for the first time in our thirty year history. However we quickly adapted and moved all our support services online. In addition, we offered technical support and tablets for those who needed it.
Such a relief to have the support of Treetops
"During lockdown, it was such a relief to have the support of Treetops. I was put in touch with David, one of the volunteer befrienders, a lovely man. David phones me every week for a chat and introduced me to the Virtual Wellbeing Café.
"The Café sets me up for the rest of the day. It makes me realise I am not alone and there are other people in similar situations to me. I can see their faces and chatting away has made a huge difference to my life."
There are hundreds like me
Barbara will continue to shield despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson lifting all restrictions at the start of the week.
Nothing changes for me. I can't risk going out with my health.
"The worst scenario would be me getting Covid. If I became really ill, apart from calling 111, what would I do? I'm living by myself. There's no one to get me a cup of tea or some paracetamol. And I'm not alone in this situation; there are hundreds of people like me.
Treetops is a lifeline
"For me, Treetops is unique," added Barbara. "It offers people like me a lifeline and life-changing opportunities that I just cannot get anywhere else.
"I know that if I phone Treetops, I will speak to someone who can reassure me, encourage me to cosy down with a cup of tea for a while. If you've not spoken to anyone for two days, it is a huge comfort.
The support, the friendship and the kindness which Treetops gives me is second to none.

BSNL Offers 500GB Data, 50Mbps Speed With New Rs. 777 FTTH Plan
Android-Editor June 9, 2018
To take on Jio's impending launch of its FTTH service in the country, state-owned telecom operator BSNL has introduced two broadband plans that take on the ultra-cheap offerings. The first of the two BSNL monthly plans, titled Fibro Combo ULD 777, offers a data FUP of 500GB at a speed of up to 50Mbps. The plan comes with a 30-day validity and is priced at Rs. 777. The other one, named Fibro Combo ULD 1277, offers a data FUP of 750GB and speed of up to 100Mbps. Apart from Jio Fiber, these FTTH plans will also fend off competition from local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) such as Spectranet and ACT Fibernet.
Add to that, both plans also subscribers with unlimited voice calling benefits to any network in the country, according to a seemingly official BSNL circular shared by a Twitter user. The plans are applicable in all telecom circles except Andaman and Nicobar. They entail a security deposit of one month tariff and are available only for new FTTH users.
The Fibro Combo ULD 777 broadband plan will reduce speed to 2Mbps after the FUP data limit ends which seems to be a good threshold for most average users. Users can also choose to subscribe to this plan for long-term periods of one, two, or three years at Rs. 8,547, Rs. 16,317, and Rs. 23,310 respectively.
On the other hand, the Fibro Combo ULD 1277 also gets a post-FUP speed of 2Mbps, and comes with tariff options of Rs. 14,047, Rs. 26,817, and Rs. 38,310 for 1, 2, and 3 year plans.
These new FTTH plans come right after BSNL recently updated its non-FTTH broadband offerings. The non-FTTH options start at Rs. 99 and go all the way up to Rs. 399 on a monthly basis. These plans offer data access at speeds of 20Mbps, with an after-FUP speed of 1Mbps. The plans also offer unlimited voice call benefits to any network in the country.
In contrast to the BSNL 777 plan, Airtel currently offers up to 40Mbps data speed with an FUP limit of 150GB in its Rs. 899 monthly plan. As with BSNL, Bharti Airtel also offers unlimited local and STD voice calling with its broadband plan.
BSNL's rival in the telecom business, Reliance Industries-owned Jio, currently operates in the broadband sector only as a beta service – its Jio Fiber service is available only in select cities, but not pan-India. However, with the service expected to arrive soon, the competition will likely go up resulting in cheaper tariffs for subscribers in the months to come.

Well, an Udaipuri could have, with some justification, felt safe and detached all this while. But then, the recent Mumbai terror acts have been unprecedented in their impact on people around. These brutal and senseless acts of November 26 had all of us shocked, grieved and enraged.
Such acts of terrorism engage us emotionally. While Indians as with the rest of the world have been facing such attacks for quite some time now, somehow those felt distant in comparison to these where the events were brought closer and inside our homes via the relentless beaming of stark images all through the weekend. Other, more potent and bigger threats like malaria, global warming or road accidents do not invoke the same sentiment. They are far too dispersed or too complex to dominate our imagination.
Are we less safe now? Are the anti-terrorism measures making us safer? I don't think much has changed. The security establishment remains as effective (or ineffective) as it was. Our safety sensibilities haven't matured a bit. Our minds are not great at assessing risk and are unduly influenced by scenarios that we can relate to at an emotional level. No surprises that we are hearing insanely hawkish calls based on deeper prejudices.
Terrorism is far too complex an issue to be amenable to the currently talked about approaches. More of so called security measures are getting in vogue. Nobody seems to have invested in understanding their effectiveness, direct costs and costs in terms of harassment of innocent citizens (of a free country!). There seems to be much more acceptability to measures like pervasive scrutiny and surveillance, more powers to police, national ID, etc., which have enormous implications in terms of privacy and individual freedom. Isn't that a terrorized state? Maybe the terrorists have succeeded in their goals.


This week, the Internet was aflame with criticism of the Mattel Barbie book I Can Be a Computer Engineer.
In theory, the text should have been a wild success. Barbie plays the part of a computer engineer, a field in which women are severely underrepresented. In practice, it all went horribly wrong. Instead of reading about Barbie's successes in the land of computer engineering, readers were presented with a character who required a man's help in order to actually do any coding.
"I'm only creating the design ideas," Barbie says, laughing. "I'll need Steven's and Brian's help to turn it into a real game!"
Predictably, the Internet went nuts. The original source for the outrage was screenwriter Pamela Ribon, who wrote a fantastic and detailed takedown of the poorly thought-out book. Her headline says it all: "Barbie Fucks It Up Again."
Though the Internet and the media only recently got hold of Computer Engineer Barbie, the doll and the book have actually been around for quite some time — the Amazon reviews, for example, go back almost a year.
There's also a petition currently in the works asking Mattel to rewrite the books: "We have to take a stance against Mattel's sexism because Barbie's story reinforced all the clichés women in the tech industry face everyday: Men get all the work done, men are better, men do the important stuff. Tell Mattel to let go its out-dated, irrational and sexist image of femininity and rewrite engineer Barbie's story."
We've contacted Mattel for comment, and will update this story if we receive a response.

Medical imaging is an effective diagnostic tool that could be many times more powerful by using nanodiamonds. The research is happening on the quantum scale and requires seeing the laws of physics in a fundamentally new way.
When you think that the diameter of a human hair is 75,000 nanometres, it's hard to imagine how Professor David Reilly from the University of Sydney Nano Institute is able to achieve so much with nanodiamonds that are a mere 2.5 nanometres in size.
In collaboration with Harvard University, our researchers have discovered that nanoscale diamonds can light up early-stage cancers in MRI scans, potentially identifying tumours before they become life-threatening.
The name 'nanodiamonds' is descriptive. They are literally diamonds in composition, being carbon crystals, but they have qualities that could offer a revolution in targeted drug delivery and medical imaging.
First the nanodiamonds have to be magnetised, which isn't easy.
This has allowed researchers in a range of fields to contemplate transformative new technologies, but for Professor Reilly and his team, it also means they've had to leave behind accepted practice and look at physics in a new way.
Artist's impression of nanodiamonds attached to cancer-targeting molecules.
The question is, why would you want to magnetise a nanodiamond in the first place?
The goal is to cause nanodiamonds to light up in the human body in a way that a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine can see. This would allow more detailed images to be captured.
The beacon effect would allow clinicians using an MRI to watch nanodiamonds travel through the body in real time. If they were attached to molecules that are attracted to cancer cells, you could see exactly where the cancer cells were, and do this while the cancer cells were still undetectable by other methods.
Then there is the drug delivery capability of nanodiamonds. "There's a lot of knowledge about the surface chemistry of diamonds, so we can attach basically any molecule we like," explains Professor Reilly.
Drug dosages are reduced and accuracy enhanced. The same nanodiamond principles could also see the big, cumbersome and expensive MRI machines themselves, become much smaller.
"You could have an MRI the size of a motorcycle helmet that takes an MRI of your brain while you're in the ambulance," says Professor Reilly.
When Professor Reilly and his team first proposed that it might be possible to magnetise nanodiamonds by manipulating their electrons, it was a hope based on reasoning. Since then, they have demonstrated that the technique works and works well.
Plastic waste is a global crisis. The scale is enormous and the challenges have seemed insurmountable.
The hunt is on for an affordable battery that could take renewables to the next level and revolutionise how we consume energy.


Family Volley: FAMILY FUN FRIDAY! Bear, Hunter, Maiden.
FAMILY FUN FRIDAY! Bear, Hunter, Maiden.
Today's Family Fun is a throw back to Rock, Paper, Scissors.
The perfect family game, No Materials Required.
BEAR: Hands up in claw-like position, "GRRRR"
HUNTER: Pretend to hold a gun, "BANG"
MAIDEN: One hand on your head, the other hand on your hips, "WOOOO!"
Count one, two, three and show your new sign. Be sure you make the "sound" as you show your sign.
How to Win: BEAR eats MAIDEN, HUNTER shoots BEAR, MAIDEN woos HUNTER.
This game is perfect for kids. They love the signs and the sounds that go with them. It also teaches them to think ahead and problem solve.
Wait until you see your husband "WOOO" like a maiden with his hands on his hips. Or your 2 year old "GRRRR" like a bear. Hilarious.
****This is also fun to play with large groups. Divide everyone into two groups. Designate an area of play with two safety lines on opposite ends, with a challenge line in the center. Group members agree on which character they will be (Bear, Hunter, Maiden). Once each team has chosen an action, they line up, team A facing team B, on the challenge line. Count to three and then the two teams do the actions "at" each other. If one team beats the other, the winning team chases the losing team to their safety line. If someone on the losing team gets tagged by the winning team before crossing their line of safety, they become part of the winning team. If both teams choose the same action then they go back to their huddle and choose a new action. This is repeated until one team is taken over by the other team.
Have a Great Weekend. It is a big one for us. Our son is getting baptized on Saturday.
*P.S. Don't forget to enter the $50 GIVEAWAY. There is still time.
Oh wow- congratulations to you and your son. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Thank you for the congrats. We are really excited.
Love this idea! I made my husband play it with me just now to see how it worked. My kids are still too young for it but I will do my best to remember.
Stopping by from Mingle Mondays! Come check out my blog and follow back!
