Kiwi contractors caught in Iowa tornado
Photography by: Rob Fuller
Representatives from AB Equipment visiting Vermeer Corp factory were caught in a tornado that hit Pella in central Iowa on 19 July
Rob Fuller, AB Equipment's general manager, sales and marketing—construction equipment, along with around 400 other dealers and customers was on-site the Vermeer Corp factory in Pella in central Iowa when the state was hit by a tornado on 19 July at around 4pm. Guests from across the globe were visiting the factory to celebrate the founder's 70th birthday.
"It was a surreal experience," Rob says, "a little bit different from what some of us have been through here with earthquakes. When we have hurricanes and strong winds in New Zealand, it is quite widespread, but with a tornado, there's usually storm clouds and the twister, the tail of which can be 20m or 200m or even 2km wide. The power of it was unreal."
Rob says that the guests, who were separated in groups of 10 and were at different plants along the 'Vermeer mile' to look at the recent innovations from the company, were warned beforehand with the safety alarms in place at the factory.
"We heard an audible alarm notifying a tornado warning. That's monitored by the local weather station. Surprisingly, we also received an alert on our New Zealand phones."
The Vermeer team's emergency response unit—consisting of people across the mile—ushered everyone in tornado bunkers.
"Tornado bunkers are simply square rooms with four walls and a door. They are designed to protect so that when a tornado hits, even if the complex around you falls down, the bunker, hopefully, doesn't," Rob says.
He adds that the whole ordeal lasted for an hour.
"We could hear things getting a bit stormy and all of a sudden, it was like a big train coming and there was a big whoosh. You could feel your ears popping. Fifteen to 20 minutes later, things started dying down a bit, and within half an hour, it was clear blue skies again and we were all outside."
Rob says that Vermeer's safety mechanism and protocols were admirable.
"About 3000 people were on the site that day and barring the seven people who sustained minor cuts and bruises, everyone was safe. And that's because they had the right practices in place," he says.
Because everyone on-site was in place that felt safe and secure, Rob says that the experience wasn't as unnerving as he thought it would be.
The industrial and agricultural equipment manufacturing facility suffered severe damage.
Addressing a news conference, Vermeer CEO Jason Andringa said, "We certainly are going to rebuild, and we're going to come back stronger than ever,"
"From the Vermeer family perspective and from our executive team's perspective, we are most pleased that all injuries were relatively minor injuries and all of those that went to the hospital for treatment have already been released. That's the single thing that we're most happy about."
Both, the facility's structures and personal property were damaged. Among the affected plants along the 'Vermeer mile', Plants 5 and 6 suffered enough damage that the company believes operations will cease in the buildings.
Jason added that Plant 4, 7, and the company's advanced system testing facility will need a structural reassessment.
Vermeer has asked its team members, dealers, customers, and community members to refrain from visiting their campus for the time being.

Thank you, i will test it next weekend.
Since 2 weeks i use Windows Vista 64, today i installed Shadowgrounds Survivor and it hangs at the Loadingscreen at 55%. Some ideas?
This is my first map (my testmap). My priority was based on the spawn-script, i tried some diffrent and i think i found a good one. It starts very easily and becomes more difficult with the time. I hope you like it! Have fun!
My next question: How i get the ItemSpawner working? I saw on other maps a ammotype defined in surv_*_units.dhs but not in the own created maps. Is it possible to define it in the map-editor?
I saw the wiki is up to date, sorry. Only the note to extract the "Scripts"-directory should be added.
After extracting the Scripts-Directory and deleting the empty *.dhps files the are recreated and now i spawn on the correct position!
Thank you for help! I will write a summary, that you can insert to the wiki if you want.
Topic: Shadowgrounds Survivor technical "try these"
Re: Shadowgrounds Survivor technical "try these"
I think you mean to disable the "Catalyst A.I."
I use the german retail version.
After extracting the "Misc"-directory the *.dhps-files are created but they are empty and it doesn't work again.
Maybe i release it in the future, now its only for testing and making easier maps for longer Survival-plays. Today evening i will try the fix an tell you if it works. Thank you for offer hosting the map!
Thank you for your answer. I'll try it this weekend.
Is there a way zu unlock all survival-maps without playing the missions?
- Napalm Flame doesn't always work when you press the button (fully charged).
I don't think this is a bug, look at the amount of the Flamethrower-fuel, you need at least 40 Points for the Napalm Flame.

Rabbit, Run, by John Updike (not to be muddled with Upton Sinclair as I often do), has a simple enough plot. Rabbit leaves his alcoholic and pregnant wife Janice, and shacks up with a young woman Ruth for two months. A pastor Eccles befriends him in the hope of convincing him to do the 'right' thing. I won't go into the ending, but in short, everyone is miserable and worse off than they were to begin with.
I disliked all the characters. I found Eccles the least awful. I admire his desire to have an amiable outcome, and his empathy, but I was frustrated by his fence sitting. I did not pity Janice, because she was an alcoholic. I did not empathise with Rabbit, because while I understand his wife was unbearable to live with, he was just as despicable by leaving his child with her. I hate Rabbit for his need for control and adoration. He often talks about how lovable he is, which is an arrogant delusion. He tried to control the women around him emotionally and physically. He did not have any respect for anyone, or the ability to empathise with others.
running rabbit
After I finished Rabbit, Run I Googled it so see if I was 'supposed' to hate everyone in it. According to Wikipedia, it was written in response to Kerouac's On the Road "to depict 'what happens when a young American family man goes on the road – the people left behind get hurt'" . I certainly think Updike made his point, and wins the debate in my mind. This is no surprise given by feelings for On The Road. I cannot understand what The Washington post was thinking: "…By his compassion, clarity of insight and crystal-bright prose, he makes Rabbit's sorrow his and our own." I do not believe Updike had any compassion for Rabbit, nor were Rabbit's actions portrayed as understandable, relatable, or forgivable.
While I did not enjoy Rabbit, Run, I do think it was very powerful, and would recommend it. It seems many readers on Amazon feel the same. It makes me feel anger, which very few books have. This is not a side of my emotional repertoire I indulge in my personal life and so dislike experiencing recreationally, but certainly this does not discredit Updike's skill as an author.

Beautiful book cover
Malouf is an acclaimed Australian author. Remembering Babylon was published in 1993 but is set in colonial Australia. Being published only 18 years ago hardly makes it vintage, as the publisher claims, but that's neither here nor there. It deals with the common topic of prejudice and for me comes somewhere between the subtle, intricate analysis of Forster's A Passage to India, and the brash, dictation of Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Consequently I'd give it half marks.
What I enjoyed about Remembering Babylon were the diverse characters, and the look into pioneering life.
What I didn't like about this book was the seemingly irrelevant passages, the limited insight, and the unnecessary use of profanity. On the first point, there were a few short incidences that were, while beautifully written, seemingly irrelevant to the central theme. Malouf told single incidents from several perspectives, but he didn't go deep enough into any one for my enjoyment. As for the profanity, I cannot stand this in written prose. Malouf could have just as easily conveyed the hardened, uncouth characters without it. Furthermore, he uses unpleasant imagery for things which are not unpleasant. For example, instead of saying Mr Frazer made his lips into the shape of an arsehole, he could simply has said Mr Frazer pursed his lips.
This is not a book for those who need a climatic ending, but Malouf poetically captures the nuances of Australian flora and conditions so it is more the journey than the destination.
What I especially loved about this re-release was the beautiful cover, which resembles Delftware, with it's stark white cover and royal blue line-art. It was 80% of the reason I bought it.

There is a bookshop opposite a hotel my grandfather used to own. The hotel was a beautiful multistorey Queenslander-style building and was long ago knocked down and replaced by a square cement TAB. I heard the store next to the bookshop caught fire a few months back and have yet to venture to see if the bookshop survived. It was the sort of shop where you didn't know how they survived financially, let alone a fire. You could barely walk for the piles of books, you had to climb over turrets and squeeze through caverns of pages of pre-loved stories. It was an adventure ebook readers would never have. On my last trip there, I sat in a corner of the store piled with Penguin classics, surrounded by the susurrus of falling pages for an hour. I picked up about 10 books at 20 cents each, far cheaper than online.
One of these was The Body. It didn't look much, and I didn't read the blurb before starting. It was surprisingly a fascinating and well written insight into jealousy and aging. A persnickety, middle-age husband catches his young neighbour peeping at his wife in the shower. He then proceeds to invent an elaborate affair, creating circumstantial evidence, and reading into inconsequential happenings. The way he imagines theoretical conversations of confrontation is something I can ashamedly relate to. I often make up imaginary arguments about why tearing down beautiful old buildings, to be replaced by cement is responsible for the degradation of Brisbane as a society. A reader will find the husband ridiculous, extreme and humerous, but are secretly counting the times they have followed this train of thought. That's what makes this book worth reading.

For some reason, I go into Charles Dickens thinking I dislike him and it will be a chore. This is not logical because A Christmas Carol is my most read book (every year). I quite enjoyed A Tale of Two Cities, despite early confusion. I think the ill-conceived notion was born of the fact that as a child I despised the movie Oliver Twist, and due to vivid history lessons in year 4, the Dickensian era evoked images of children having their fingers hacked off in machinery, and bitter cold.
I am glad I overcame this aversion, as Great Expectations is certainly worth it's place on the shelf. I wasn't sure that I would enjoy it, knowing the ending. However, there was a lot I didn't know, and so there were several plot twists that caught me by surprise. (This might be because the renditions I recall seeing consisted of the Gwyneth Paltrow film, a South Park episode satirising of the story, and accumulated general knowledge from goodness knows where).
I love how multi-layered the characters are, and how they are allowed to stray from their original beliefs and behaviours in reaction to their experiences, like real people. I strongly disliked Pip, and thought him incredibly insolent, and was not convinced he truely learned his lesson.
The scenery created in my mind was always terribly foggy (literal fog) and tinged with mossy green. While certain scenes were described this way, I think it was also quite symbolic of the mystery, and gradual emergence of truths throughout the novel. Overall, a good read, and I look forward to my next Dickens adventure.

On The Road, by Jack Kerouac, is infamous for causing a stir in the 1950s. It follows the philandering of a young man into the underground of America. I loved Catcher In The Rye and the in-depth insights it gave into the main character's psyche, while he broke away from the expectations of his conservative society. On The Road doesn't linger long enough to even express whether the narrator was happy or sad. It's made up of one page events filled with a cacophony of interchangeable characters, each less developed and less memorable than the next. You don't know their motivation for anything, only that they "go with it" and like to "dig" things. Now I am from a notoriously apathetic generation, but even I can't relate to these layabouts; even the dullest adolescents have reasons for sitting around in car parks and lacking drive. There is no sense of the atmosphere of the American highway, or the cultural idiosyncrasies of the Hispanic neighborhoods. There's little insight into the characters' interaction with, or opinion of, the society in which they exist, beyond a superficial level. Kerouac's language can only be described as jazz, in that it is unstructured, goes in all directions, runs on and on without form or adequate punctuation, jumps backwards and forwards with no reference point, uses unnecessarily obscure and inconsistent language – at times you need the Oxford dictionary, at others urbandictionary.com – and if you think this has been a long sentence and bulky paragraph, just wait until you read the book, because this collection of the meaningless gibberish drugged beatniks say goes on for 300 pages. I think there is a particular breed of Hipster that would enjoy this book, however, I did not.

Beyond the Black Stump
Beyond The Black Stump is by my sister's favourite author, Nevil Shute. If you like Steinbeck, you'll probably like Shute. He is best known for On The Beach and A Town Like Alice, which were both made into film, the former notably featuring with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardener.
This author, who started life out as an engineer, writes books about foreigners and their interactions with Australians and Australia around the 1950s. As a English immigrant to Australia at the time, he has a talent for capturing the sensibilities and curiosities of Australia of the time, and expresses a true fondness for his new country, often in comparison to an England he saw as deteriorating.
The Australia Shute writes about no longer exists in many parts, due to immigration, adoption of multiculturalism and globalisation, however the characters in Beyond the Black Stump are quite close to my ancestry. They are an assortment of people whose family arrived in Australia generations ago, who worked to overcome the hardships of the land, and pioneer a young nation. In better words, the second and third verses of "I Am Australian" (lyrics at the bottom of this post).
The arrival of American oil prospectors stirs up the small community, and is quite an imposition on the slow and simple way of life they are accustomed. The storyline centres around the American, but examines internal changes of those around him. There is a slight predictability to the end, is but it is enjoyable to see the characters get there. The last line is particularly beautiful.
extract from I Am Australian
Lyrics by Bruce Woodley and Dobe Newton
I came upon the prison ship, bowed down by iron chains.
I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
A convict then a free man, I became Australian.
I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode
The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the depression, I saw the good times come
I'm a bushy, I'm a battler, I am Australian

I must look like a blundering fool, as the majority of books I have reviewed, have befuddled me. Do not expect this review to be any different. I like a challenge.
I was glad to find another Dickens novel which matched my ancient copy of A Christmas Carol. Both are leather-bound, with gold embossing, which is very fitting for an author whose name has become an adjective. I also picked up Great Expectations and a Kipling novel in this series.
I had first attempted A Tale of Two Cities when I was 12. It didn't work out well. This was attempt number two. I dislike emphatic repetition. Needles to say, the first page of this novel was painful. 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' is a very famous line. What they don't tell you is the whole page goes on with juxtapositions to the point where I screamed, "I get it, it was a very confusing and conflicted time!" If I hadn't been so frustrated, I might have been more prepared for the rest of the novel.
In an attempt to create and dark sense of mystery, Dickens bombarded me with a flurry of characters, innuendo and scenic changes. Spoiler alert: There are more than two.
I try to avoid any educated critiques of books before I read them so I can have a genuine response to the words. However, after struggling through half this novel, I went to wikipedia to figure out what I had just read. The second half of the novel was much easier to follow. Having said that, I find Dickens' style of prose enjoyable for the most part. Much like attending your first ballet, I would recommend having a skeleton idea of the plot before embarking on this venture. The story is fantastic, once you catch on. I can understand why this book is a classic and would recommend it.
I still stand by my position not to read analyses before commencing a book. My favourite quote captures this idea: "If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking", George S Patton.

The Reds are matching Manchester City's record-breaking 2017/18 side every step of the way this season. A win at Anfield on Saturday would take them to 40 points and they would join their rivals as the only teams to get there by the fourteenth-game mark in the Premier League. Liverpool are not playing with quite the same swagger as that Pep Guardiola team; City had scored forty-four and conceded only nine goals when they got there, but the mentality giants …
Leroy Sane Hugely Missed By Manchester City
All the talk of crucial absences in the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City centred around Aymeric Laporte and Ederson. The Frenchman has left a big void in the centre of defence and the Brazilian's distribution and shot-stopping abilities were definitely missed in the 1-3 defeat at Anfield. Liverpool though would have been happier that another player who has tormented them more than most was not going to take the field. In this burgeoning rivalry between the two best teams …

As you are crafting your college list, include schools that fall into each of the following three categories: dream, target, and safety.
Students who thoughtfully curate a balanced list of schools tend to have a less stressful application process than those who apply to dozens. They end up with a list of colleges they're excited about, plenty of which are well within their admission and financial reach. And they feel more in control of their college destiny because they're not at the mercy of admissions decisions from a long list of highly selective colleges. Use our college search to compare colleges by cost, admission criteria, and more.
You can adjust this number up or down as needed, but you should send college applications to a few schools from each category. Applying to a range of schools will ensure that you set ambitious goals and give yourself some back-up options where you know you can be happy and successful.
A target school is one where your academic credentials ( grades , SAT or ACT scores , and class rank) fall well within the school's average range for the most recently accepted class. There are no guarantees, but it's not unreasonable to expect to be accepted to several of your target schools.

The box also has the words "New Look" to inform consumers that the box has a new look to it, but the same great condom inside.

The webbed sleeve got twisted and turned on the shaft of my penis and was difficult to straighten out once I got it on.Adult Toys

U Street club case. Five men have been charged with aggravated assault, in connection with the alleged beating of a man who witnesses say, threw a brick through the window of DC 9, a popular U Street area nightclub, when he was refused entrance.

If you are properly and consistently using two reliable methods of contraception, the risk of pregnancy is incredibly small, and adding a third method is not likely to increase your protection by very much. The difference between a combined method that is 99.8% effective with typical use of both and three methods which are 99.78% effective together, for instance, is so small a statistical difference that adding a third method is likely to just be a needless expense and pain in your butt..dildos

Basically the archetype for domestic violence now is about an abusive partner, or parent. Whereas my experience and reading of research by folks like Amnesty really highlights how the pressures on people form much larger households translate almost directly to domestic violence being committed increasingly by extended family. And the dynamic of Mother in law to daughter in law abuse becomes a massive issue..

Mozilla to Launch Firefox Premium
Features that are already free will remain so, but expect a subscription service for new premium browser features from October.
10 Jun 2019, 1 p.m.
We've been using the Firefox web browser for free since it first appeared way back in 2002, but later this year a premium version is planned as a new form of income for Mozilla.
As I Programmer reports, Mozilla CEO Chris Beard was recently interview by German website t3n where he confirmed a premium version of Firefox is set to appear in October. It will require a subscription in order to take advantage of the new features Mozilla is set to introduce.
Requiring payment for software that is currently free would be a dangerous move and one that's sure to reduce Firefox's user base. However, Beard was keen to point out in the interview that, "there is no plan to charge money for things that are now free." In other words, Firefox will continue to exist as a free and open source web browser, but additional features will be bolted on for a price. The question is, what are those feature and how desirable will they be?
Mozilla has already experimented with a paid VPN service, which appeared in pilot form last October for $10 per month. Beard also mentioned a secure storage solution during the interview as one potential premium feature. Clearly Mozilla is thinking premium equates to security around the base free browser, which could be a tempting proposition for users as long as the subscription charge is reasonable.
Mozilla's desire to open up a new stream of income is understandable. Right now, over 90 percent of the corporation's income stems from search engine deals with companies including Google and Yandex. The rest is from sponsored content related to existing browser features such as Pocket. A subscription would form a third source of reliable income if Mozilla gets this right. Beard also sees it as a way to, "build deeper customer relationships outside the search business."

The men's gymnastics qualification competition concluded at The SSE Hydro Arena, with Russia scoring an emphatic 259.427 ahead of Great Britain, who lie second with 252.496.
It was a shaky start for Russia on the high bar, with a fall from David BELYAVSKIY, but they rallied with superb exercises on floor. Two of their gymnasts, Dmitrii LANKIN and Nikita NAGORNYY, showed perfectly executed triple somersaults – a rarity in the sport.
Russia proceeded to dominate the rest of the competition and qualified gymnasts to every final except high bar, with David BELYAVSKIY recording the highest score of the day – 15.533 – on parallel bars.
Great Britain showed consistency across most of their routines, marred by a slight error from Max WHITLOCK on floor which left him in 23rd position and cost him a place in that apparatus final.
However, WHITLOCK scored well on pommel horse with 14.9 to make that final in third place, setting up the fascinating prospect of a three-way battle between defending champion BELYAVSKIY and top scorer Rhys McCLENAGAN (IRL) in Sunday's final.
Another final to relish will be the duel between Eleftherios PETROUNIAS (GRE), who tops qualification on rings ahead of Britain's Courtney TULLOCH by a mere 0.033 points.
"I can't wait to get there and do a good routine, but first we have the team final and I need to do my job there," TULLOCH said.
Germany came third with a team total of 246.094, some distance behind the British team due to a fall and other small errors at the high bar. They qualified gymnasts to three finals – floor, rings and parallel bars. The final is rounded out by Switzerland, Turkey, France, Spain and Italy.
The gymnastics competition continues on Friday with the junior team, all-around and qualification for apparatus finals. Great Britain will be attempting to win their sixth consecutive team title.

However, today, I drove in, since I was going to be staying a bit late at the office. The drive from Los Gatos to San Francisco is usually pretty uneventful, since I leave the house early enough to miss most of the traffic.
I'm heading north on 280, cruise control set just shy of 80 mph, hanging out in the left-most lane, minding my own business. A Nissan Pathfinder came racing up behind me, tailgating me, which is never fun when you're going that speed. I flipped on my turn signal, indicating that I'd get out of his way just as soon as I could comfortably pass the Toyota Prius to my right. The Pathfinder jackhole, however, was far too impatient for my safe driving. He darted into the gap between me and the Prius, as I was just starting to change lanes, forcing me to swerve back into the left lane.
The jackhole pulled parallel with me, and held up a NY Yankees hat to his window as if to shove it in my face, then stepped on his gas pedal and swerved in front of me, forcing me to hit the brakes so I didn't clip his bumper. Then he sprayed his windshield cleaner, which of course has the effect of spraying MY windshield, before speeding away at a much higher rate of speed than I was going.
All because I have a Boston Red Sox license plate holder on my car.

This Policeman *Refused* Orders To Shoot At Demonstrators. He Knew His Kids Would Be In The Crowd.
She studied military science and the ways that blowing things up with violence makes way for change. And she used to think that real change (especially the kind you want to make over an oppressive, Hunger Games-y regime or evil dictator-type) *required* that sort of violence......that it was naive to think that non-violence would work. But she was *so* wrong. And she's telling everyone.
Lori White
She's basically putting herself out of business by proving that nonviolence makes the most difference. But she's doing it anyway. Because she looked into it, and she's right.
I'm just gonna throw in some of the charts that showed up in this talk:
OooooOoo, OK. That's a lot of failure from the violence stuff.
Let's listen to the story of a dad who found himself in the middle.
Aside from reflecting on how great nonviolence is just alone in our little corner in our own little chair, what *do* we do?
Some ideas.
FIRST: Teach your kids (and yourself about nonviolence and nonviolent movements). She wants us to imagine a world where Gandhi and MLK are in the *FIRST* chapter of the history books and not just thrown in as an afterthought.
I never realized until now just how much my textbooks DID focus on battles and laws and not on the massive civil disobedience and people's movements that preceded them.
I'll get you started. Here's a song about a nonviolent, resistance movement called People Power movement. It happened in the Philippines, and it toppled the Marcos regime.
This song is from the musical "Here Lies Love," and David Byrne (of the Talking Heads) wrote it with Fatboy Slim.
NEXT: Get to pressuring those elected officials who fund violent revolutions around the world. It's *proven* that nonviolence works better for everyone AND that it increases the likelihood that there's a more democratic endpoint in the long run, so wouldn't it be nice — if our nation's money has to go toward revolutions and movements around the world — if it went toward nonviolent ones?
I would feel very naive and silly, almost "Kumbajah" ridiculous, saying all of this if it wasn't PROVEN that nonviolence just works better. If you're still a little skeptical, that's OK! Listen to the video above, then think about it.
And if you're as moved as I was, the best thing you can do is tell people about it, share the video, and speak up. There's strength and power in doing just that.
Assignments that prompt students to empathize with those who committed atrocities need to go
Jennifer C. Martin/Twitter
An assignment on the Trail of Tears has prompted debate about taking historical perspectives.
Helping young people understand the causes and effects of historical events is a formidable task for any educator. History isn't just "what happened and when." There's also a "why," "how" and "who" in every historical happening, and quality history education helps students explore those questions.
Sometimes, however, that exploration can go off the rails.
Most people would agree that understanding different perspectives is an important part of learning history, but there are more and less problematic ways of helping students gain that understanding. We've seen some of the more problematic methods pop up in school assignments before, from asking students to pick cotton like slaves to listing the pros and cons of slavery.
Now an assignment from a school in Georgia is making the rounds, with people calling out issues with the perspective it asked students to take.
Jennifer C. Martin shared a photo of a computer screen from her friend's kid's school with an assignment about the Trail of Tears, telling students to write letters from the points of view listed in the questions and to use facts to support their point of view. (The Trail of Tears sometimes refers to the forced removal of several Native nations from their ancestral homelands in the Southeast in the 1830s, but also refers more specifically to the forced relocation of the Cherokee nation to Oklahoma in 1838. Thousands died of disease, exposure and starvation during the removals.)
The writing prompt on the screen reads:
"Write a letter to President Jackson from the perspective of an American settler. Explain why you think removing the Cherokee will help the United States grow and prosper."
my friend's kid's school in Georgia sent homework with this questionpic.twitter.com/pSFhJ0Ucvz
— Jennifer C. Martin (@Jennifer C. Martin) 1642645127
Having written about problematic history lessons before, I know there will be people saying, "But this is just asking students to understand different perspectives! We have to be able to understand perspectives we don't agree with."
That may sound reasonable—or even desirable—but there are some problems with that line of thinking when it comes to teaching kids.
One, there's a difference between understanding someone's perspective and taking on their perspective, even as an exercise. The latter can be useful; putting yourself into someone else's shoes through "Imagine if" exercises is a good way to build empathy, helping us understand the impact of an event on a person or people. But is it desirable to build empathy with people who committed or perpetuated atrocities? I would argue it's not.
\u201cWrite a letter to Chancellor Hitler from the perspective of a German merchant. Explain why you think removing the Jews will help the Reich grow and prosper.\u201d\n\nDon\u2019t \u201cGodwin\u201d me. That\u2019s precisely what this is: Write a letter justifying genocide.https://twitter.com/notreallyjcm/status/1483987339206705152\u00a0\u2026
— President Dawg (@President Dawg) 1642695467
Second, the Trail of Tears is an objectively oppressive historical event. Asking students to explain the benefits of it from the perspective of the oppressors is gross. We don't need to "both sides" an oppressive event, as if there is some legitimate justification for why it happened and what the impact was. There is an explanation, of course, but when we take on a perspective and make arguments in favor of it as a personal exercise, we risk legitimizing and justifying it. This is totally unnecessary and potentially harmful.
Third, what if you were a student whose ancestors were the ones who suffered and/or died during the Trail of Tears? How would this assignment assist in your understanding of that event? It's not like you wouldn't already know that the settlers cared more about the growth and prosperity of the United States than about your people's lives, so what would be the point of this assignment for you?
If we want students to think critically about these events and look at the different perspectives that led to the tragedy of the Trail of Tears, we can ask questions that get them to think critically without making them argue the benefits from a colonizing perspective, such as:
"Why did some American settlers support the removal of the Cherokee people? What do you think about their reasoning?"
"What were the motivations behind forcing the Cherokee people off their land? How did American settlers benefit from the tragedy?"
"Were the settlers' arguments for relocating the Cherokee aligned with the American ideals of liberty and justice? Explain."
None of those writing prompts require a student to put themselves into the mindset of people who committed or supported violent injustice, but they still accomplish the goal of understanding different perspectives and getting students to think.
We need to acknowledge that history is not neutral and history lessons are not benign. There are ways to teach history that are objectively inappropriate, no matter what the intention behind them. Asking students to take the perspective of a Nazi during the Holocaust would be inappropriate. Asking students to take the perspective of a racist white person in the South during the civil rights movement would be inappropriate. It's not appropriate to ask students to think like a colonizer during the Trail of Tears. Understanding that perspectives differ does not require taking on an oppressive perspective, even as an academic exercise, and we do students a disservice by asking them to do so.

Why Use an Expert Witness in a Personal Injury Case?
Oct 20, 2015 By Peterson & Associates, P.C.
Personal injury cases often involve complex medical or scientific facts that are beyond the average layperson's ability to analyze. In these cases, expert witnesses are often brought in to provide greater credibility to a claim. Expert witnesses provide valuable knowledge which can help you build a strong personal injury case. Their professional experience and specific education are sought out by plaintiffs and their attorneys to assist with certain aspects of a claim.
Are There Different Types of Expert Witnesses?
Accident reconstructionist - They may use models and illustrations to show the court how your accident occurred.
Department of Transportation specialist - Their knowledge can assist you in proving roadway issues were the cause of your automobile accident. This expert testimony will assist your attorney in proving that the county, city, or state was liable for your accident.
Life care planner - They can assist your attorney in quantifying your present medical expenses as well as those which may arise in the future due to the life-long implications of your personal injury. A life care planner's expert testimony will help to ensure that the compensation you receive adequately reflects the long-term expenses associated with your injury.
Economist - They can assist your attorney in quantifying the amount of future lost wages related to your personal injury, if you are unable to work as a result.
Our personal injury law firm has developed relationships with experts in a variety of fields. Upon reviewing your personal injury claim, we may suggest utilizing an expert to provide testimony to strengthen your case. If an expert is necessary, our attorneys will arrange for them to provide testimony for your personal injury case.
If you have questions about how using expert witnesses can strengthen your personal injury claim, contact Peterson & Associates today.

I love greenery indoors. In fact, I'm a little obsessed with greenery indoors – trees mainly. But pretty ones are hard to find, & even harder to keep alive.
My favorite, & the one that has been all the design rage the last couple of years is the Fiddle Leaf Fig. The big leaves are so pretty, & I love the ones that are kind of a topiary shape. They aren't hard to keep alive, under the right conditions: they need lots of natural light, & they don't tolerate overwatering. Currently I have 2 at the shop that almost died in my house – because where I keep placing them does NOT have the right amount of natural light. So once they are at death's door, I bring them to the shop where they get great natural light, & they thrive. I have one more at home that is now outside while pray I can bring it back to life before it's too late. Not looking good.
What I did buy that is working for me at home right now is an indoor olive tree. Apparently they needs lots of light, too. I have it in the spot my Fig hated, but I've been taking it outside once a week or so to get a day of sunshine & it has lots of new growth. I looked online trying to find a tall, topiary shaped one for a long time, then I just stumbled on one at Lowe's this spring. It's not as tall as these, & more spindly looking right now, but I love it. It makes me feel like I'm on my own little Italian vacation right at home. OK, not really.
I have really always loved how Ralph Lauren Home has used palm trees in so many of their shop vignettes & photo shoots, & not necessarily always in Colonial or tropical decor. I haven't ever used one, but I definitely would. Especially seeing this photo – I'm inspired. Love it in the big blue & white pot. And it's not a focus in the room; it just adds texture & warmth.
I love how RL has used this palm – it doesn't even have it's own space, really. Just behind a chair in front of a built-in. Yet it adds so much!
This giant Bird of Paradise has a tropical feel to it for sure, but like the palm, I feel like it lends itself to many different design aesthetics. The pot it's shown in here is gorgeous, so that definitely makes a difference – keeps it tasteful, not 70's Bohemian.
Really, what doesn't look beautiful in a blue & white pot? I would use this, absolutely. I haven't looked into whether Bird of Paradise is easy to keep alive, but I assume most tropicals are? Love this.
Obviously this is a succulent – maybe an aloe plant? It's not tall, but the pot is gorg & it's so big & full that it looks significant in the space, which is key. I'm not sure it would work in as many looks as some of the other trees, but it adds an architectural look and feel. Pretty. And you could use it in a big pot on tabletop, too.
I have had this picture saved forEVER because I love this tree so much. But I have no idea what it is. Anybody? I should probably take it to Northhaven Gardens or Nicholson Hardie & ask – no doubt they could tell me. I WANT it. In this peely pot.
I love this big willowly-looking one! I wonder if it was just a smaller outdoor willow that grew to this height? Very cool look.
I think this is a Philodendron – not an upscale plant at all, but isn't it great-looking in this blue urn on top of the sideboard? I am a fan of going oversized as opposed to something looking "dinky" any time (lampshades are a perfect example). This look is super easy to achieve & makes a gorgeous style statement!
And if you can't find – or don't want to maintain – a tree or big plant indoors, I love how pretty simple branches with greenery look in a vase. They last a surprisingly long time. The key is finding the right branches that are tall enough to achieve the design look you are going for.
I use Monstera leaves in a vase quite often. I love the look, & sometimes they last for over a month or even 2. They are big leaves & typically have some height, & their shape gives an architectural statement. So you achieve the warmth of a plant but just with fronds.
Philodendron leaves make a pretty grouping in a vase as well, & probably last just as long as Monstera. A nice, low-maintenance alternative to a flower arrangement!
What are your favorite indoor plants to decorate with?

Q: Angular - returning promise.then from function I have never looked at angular before and I am working on a project that uses it extensively, I am quite confused by the promise api code.
If a function returns promise.then (which I gather is called when the promise is fulfilled) is this the result of the promise function? Is there any blocking when you do this as the result isnt immediately available?
A crude example:
$scope.refreshFilters = function (filters) {
    var promise;
    promise = getConfig(filters);
    return promise.then(function (data) {
        return data.availableContent;
    });
};

Do calls to the refreshFilters function need to block now because the result isnt available immediately?

A: Correct, promise.then(...) itself returns a promise. You can find the Promise A+ spec, which $q mostly follows here: https://promisesaplus.com/
A promise is a way of handling asynchronous work. In your example, getConfig(filters) returns a promise, which is handled with the .then(...) call. And refreshFilters returns a promise because getConfig(filters).then(...) also returns a promise. If getConfig executes asynchronously, then refreshFilters will as well.

A: The return inside the "then" returns a promise not the plain value,
so
return promise.then(function (data) {
                return data.availableContent;
            });
};

is actually returning a promise.

Bank roll management is one of the toughest issues any bettor or capper has to handle. Sometimes, it's even more important than betting the right teams.
I'm proud to say that I haven't had a losing season in the last 8 seasons, but nevertheless, I'm less proud to admit that I lost my entire bankroll 3 times, until I built my current bankroll that been serving me for fourth season straight.
How did it happen? The answer is simple – betting too much on one game, getting too involved in a live game and trying to chase losses.
There is no shame in losing your bankroll, I would say it's inevitable. The main question is, can you learn from that and prevent it later on?
The most important quality for each bettor is self discipline. To continue to keep a sharp head, even after losing streak that doesn't end or after amazing hot run, when you think you're on the top of the world.
Believe me, both streaks will pass.
You have to set very strong limits on your betting and stay within them.
I use a very simple method that helps me stay focused.
1) Before games, I use a 10 units method, with each unit being 0.5% of my entire bankroll. The upside of using percentages, instead of sum, is that you can't lose it all at once, because your bets will get smaller if your bankroll shrinks.
2) Having said that, I'm not suggesting you change the bets size after every bet. Lets say you have 1000$ bankroll. That's 5$ each unit. You don't change it when you win or lose 50$. But when you win or lose 25% of your bankroll – readjust your bet size accordingly. You reached 1,250$? Each unit from now on should be worth 6.25$.
3) Live betting is very tricky, especially in Betfair, where it's very easy to chase a team and go belly up. I set to myself the same principle as for regular game, so that my biggest possible live bet at once, is not more than 5% of my bankroll.
I do allow myself sometimes, to take a risk and do something foolish – but that is to make another bet on the game live, again, no more than 5% of my bankroll.
It's often a bad idea, but worst possible scenario that can happen, is that you make three max bets on one outcome and lose 15% of your bankroll. It's a lot and it's very painful to lose something you worked very hard to make, but it's still not too much and your bankroll can easily recover from that.
3) Set very clear withdraw points and stick to them. It's important to a) enjoy the profits b) set something aside, in case things go bad. I usually withdraw 50% of the bankroll, each time I multiply it X5. That allows the bankroll to always get bigger (even after withdraw we left with X2.5 the original bankroll), but also allows us to withdraw substantial sum. If for some reason, you will lose the remaining bankroll, I would deposit only the size of the original bankroll and start from the beginning.
Since I'm an NBA expert and 90% of my bets are on the NBA, I would also like to write a bit about stakes betting in the NBA.
NBA is a league with huge amount of games. 30 teams that play 82 games each, 50 – 60 games a week are being played during the regular season.
It's not easy to pick what games to play and what to skip. So many trends for each game, so many stats, facts, numbers and so on.
In such a league, it's very important to have huge self discipline. Not to take rush bets and so on.
To take special angles bets only, that are backed up by stats and trends or very special stats and trends that are very hard for public to see and you can take advantage of that.
It's important to make big units bets, only on games with special angle, beyond trends and stats, while keeping trends and stats bets to the medium bets only and always have the strength to skip bets, where there are reasons not to take the bet, even if there are many reasons to take it.
That brings me to the last part of this article and that is why sometimes there are bad streaks in the NBA.
NBA is a game of numbers in the end. To have an advantage over the bookies. Sometimes, despite the advantage, there will be several bets in a row, where bets will lose.
Knowing that you are doing something that you done very good for 8 straight seasons, is the main reason why it is easy to stay the course and not try to change the formula or try different adventures.
Experience is one of the most important things as far as bank management goes and unfortunately, it can't be replaced by anything else.
The good thing though is that if you have good self discipline and good knowledge of how to bet, experience will come in the end and not at the expense of your bankroll.
