Decolonization and Reconcili-action in 2022
by Morgan MW
As Settlers living and working on the stolen lands of the Coast Salish peoples – the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations, Aisle is committed as a company and as individual team members to supporting the goals of Decolonization and Reconciliation.
As we approach Canada's second national Truth and Reconciliation Day (aka Orange Shirt Day) on September 30th, this post is about sharing various ways that we support 'Reconcili-action', (ie: actually walking the talk) and some suggested resources.
Partnerships and Donations
Following our "Re-indigenizing menstrual health" interview series, donations and culturally affirming educational materials are two of the main initiatives that Aisle has undertaken in 2022.
Period underwear is our most requested donation item from Indigenous communities, as it's easily accepted by people of any age. In all cases, products go into the hands of Indigenous leaders (teachers, outreach workers, midwives, counsellors) who work in their community & appreciate who needs/ want them best. As an example, a midwife clinic packs up postpartum period kits when mothers go home - everyone receives a pair of period underwear.
Other places where Aisle products are distributed include outreach vans, school bathrooms, period kits that go home from school & after birth, with community workers when they work in homes, at drop-in moontime events, drop-in 2SILGBTQ centres, community events like fairs, gatherings in longhouses, and in midwives' bathrooms.
This year, through The Period Purse, Aisle has donated over 270 pairs of period underwear to Indigenous youth, valued at over $12,000. They were distributed by Indigenous leaders in the following locations:
- a territory in Eastern Ontario
- a school board in Northern Ontario with >50% Indigenous students
- a Treaty 1 area/ Winnipeg
Work in Progress: Developing Education
Also through The Period Purse, we are honoured to be working alongside a rural Indigenous community in Eastern Ontario to create a printed Moontime Zine led by Indigenous people working in their community who teach about rites of passage, midwifery, and reproductive justice.
This is an exciting project that is currently being translated into the traditional Mohawk language that we hope will also be translated into Ojibway in 2023. Stay tuned for the launch of this wonderful initiative!
A personal reflection on territorial acknowledgement
Two years ago, the Aisle team attended a workshop on understanding and addressing colonial biases in ourselves and in our company. One of the first exercises was to examine the the purpose of a territorial acknowledgement: a statement that precedes any form of gathering in order to create context that, thanks to Indigenous stewardship of the physical place(s) in which we find ourselves, we are able to work and live, and further that these places were brutally colonized in order to achieve this.
We learned that these acknowledgements should be as specific as possible (for example, not just saying "Coast Salish", but rather the names of actual nations (in our case, the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), including traditional spelling if in print.
They also should be as honest as possible: eschewing language like "traditional" in favour of the more blunt "stolen" (if that is applicable to the land you occupy). There is something powerful about making this switch - you feel it in your gut. It escalates the conversation from being about passively acknowledging an important truth, to 'what are you going to do about it?' - considering personal accountability and reparations. What needs to be given back? What is your responsibility?
Other useful resources in support of Decolonization and Reconciliation
For those wanting to make a deeper commitment to education and becoming allies to the Indigenous community, here are a few resources we recommend.
Anti Indigenous Racism Training by Jennifer Lee Koble. The Aisle team attended this powerful session in 2021.
kinSHIFT workshops: These easily accessible public workshops are designed to build foundational skills for reconciliation based on Elements of Truth - BEFORE RECONCILIATION.

There�s talk of Al Gore emerging as the kingmaker, or even compromise candidate at the Democratic Party convention. But if there is one person McCain would beat in November more easily than Hilary Clinton, its Al Gore.
If Gore wants to prove he's a leader and not a loser; prove that he puts the environment and the success of the Democratic Party ahead of his own ego, then now is his last chance. Obama needs the endorsement now, not after he has won the popular vote.
Gore needs to fall in behind Barak Obama, and save his party and the country the wasted effort fighting each other insterad of fighting the real enemy – energy companies and their elected stooge, GWB.
And lets end this silly talk of an Obama-Gore ticket. Obama does not need to drag the carcass of nineties failure around the campaign trail.
As one poster says in a recent discussion on Current.tv: "In light of Al Gore's most recent book "An Assault on Reason" it seems that Barack Obama is fighting for everything that Al Gore wants to change. The Clintons are politics as usual.
Obama is offering what Off-Grid believes are the best policies on the environment � he has pledged three times the budget for eco-issues than Clinton, and is clearly better informed and has the better eco-team.
Republican Presidential candidate John McCain was one of the first on Capitol Hill, and one of the few of his party, to acknowledge the reality of global warming and the need to act quickly. His position on the issue is one reason why hard-core conservatives have been suspicious of McCain.
As a result, Clinton and Obama had to present themselves as greener than the Arizona Republican.
Both Obama and Clinton favor a "cap and trade" system that would issue oil companies, power plants, and other major big polluters permits to emit carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas.
Obama is significantly greener than Clinton, and that�s important when you consider Republican leaders like former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman see climate change as an issue that could bolster key parts of their base while attracting independent voters.
When he was VP, Gore cynically abandoned the environmental movement. This is his chance to make good. Endorse Obama now!


5th Class have been busy little gardeners. Over the past two weeks we have planted tomatoes in our classroom and today we planted 4 bags of potatoes. We will watch and record their growth over the coming weeks.
Huge congratulations to Alice who is the first pupil in Rang a Cúig to achieve a certificate for the Mighty Oak Award.

Local historian, and author of 'The Reddingtons of Clarinbridge', Joe Murphy very kindly came in to speak to us this week on the history of Kilcornan. We learned about Frances Xavier who married into the area with a very high dowry! She was a big advocator of education for the local people and it was fascinating to learn about the local landlords who once lived in our community.
Colm from Burren Beo visited us for a 2 hour workshop this week. We became geology detectives for the day studying the colours, texture and acidity of rocks found in Galway and the Burren area. We also had a chance to see and explore different fossils. We realised that with these rocks being millions of years old, Mums and Dads aren't as ancient as we once thought!
In Geography we have been learning about fishing in Ireland. We looked in particular at the popularity of trout and salmon fishing in our rivers, lakes and oceans. With over 80 species of fish in Irish waters it is no wonder people enjoy fishing here.
 Ethan brought in his 10ft rod and answered our many questions about fishing bait, equipment and techniques. Thank you Ethan!

Where Did September Go
It went by way too fast. I feel like I didn't accomplish much for DT3 this month. Oh well, progress was still made at least.
Zelda Warriors Dynasty Battle Rifle
Dynasty Warriors: Zelda Edition is fun. It is exactly like Dynasty Warriors except a bit better because you can actually tell friend from foe at a glance because everyone and everything are so diverse and of course, iconic. That and the field isn't just an ocean of silver armored dudes. Endless waves of the same armored dude, both their side and your side. The gameplay is also more fluid than any other Dynasty Warriors game I've played, though I haven't played any in the last two years, so I don't know if that was already addressed before Hyrule Warriors.
Mother 4
So this game is coming out pretty soon. It's an unofficial continuation of the Mother series, if you're already a fan of those games, you've probably already heard of this project. They've worked on it for quite some time and one I'll be playing when it's released. My goal is to have DT3 done after this game is done. I think I can do that. (There is no typo there.)
Posted by ZephyrBurst at 4:15 AM No comments:
For the past year, of all the upcoming content left to make, Chapter 19 is what I've been most looking forward to. Every chapter in the game has some sort of theme to it and I try to stick to that with all of its content. Some of it is subtle, and not so much. With Chapter 19, it's pretty easy to say what it is and without giving any spoilers. There's no way to say it plainly without it sounding egotistical I think, but it is what it is.
The chapter is essentially about me. More specific, it's about my thoughts and fears. About my thoughts on video games and where I think they're going. I don't expect to be able to pull it off 100%, but I think I can get at least some of those inner thoughts into the game properly, and this time without them being tainted by sarcasm and satire like I usually do.
I don't think I need to say anything more about it. I hope to be able to pull it off well, and I think I can.

The Next Part; in a totally serious manner
Now that Chapter 19 content has my focus, the game's completion doesn't feel so far away anymore. So for this post, I'd like to talk about all the exciting news and happenings coming up for the game!
From now until October 15th, if you pre-order DT3, you will be rewarded with exclusive in-game content such as the incredibly powerful "Double Awesome" attack that Jerry can perform!
There's two of him, that's twice as amazing!
You will also be granted, for free, yes free, the "No Bird Mode" that millions of you have requested. I know many of you don't find birds an attractive part of your everyday gaming experience, and I wouldn't want to impede on that. In fact, I'll be including DLC for removing all forms of self-expression.
As you can see, the world is bird-free.
Pre-orders made after October 15th, but before the game's extremely anticipated released date will still be given the much sought after "No Bird Mode"! For anyone that prefers not to preorder, the above features can still be obtained through DT3's all new "I want your money" mode, where you can download exciting options for the game, all fairly priced!
Just a look at some of the amazing DLC to come is the "No Death Mode" where the player is immune to losing! Because who needs skill when you have money!? For five real dollars, this mode will remove all the frustrations and sadness from the game, while still retaining all its fun!
While I know I shouldn't announce it this soon, but DT3 pre-orders will be 67% off during Black Friday, and 33% off during the following weekend!
And there are even some very awesome exclusives coming up for both Intel and AMD users. For Xbo, err Intel chip users, you will have access to various hat cosmetics in various colors for Jerry! Those of you unfortunate enough to have AMD will be able to access various cosmetics for Claire! Just press the Spacebar during any moment in the game and a very welcoming window will pop up presenting you with the "I want your money" mode, where all these wonderful, and well priced I might add, cosmetics are available for purchase! These cosmetics will all be exclusive to their conso... err processing chip until April 1st, 2016!
Hat! That's more meta than you think.

Pancreatic cancer is often very aggressive and treatment-resistant, and survival rates are typically low. The authors of a new study in mice, however, may have found a fresh way of attacking these stubborn tumors.
Researchers have now identified a protein that is a very promising therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.
According to estimates by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), doctors will find 55,440 new pancreatic cancer cases in the United States in 2018 alone — these making up 3.2 percent of all new cancer diagnoses.
Pancreatic cancer tumors tend to be highly resistant to therapy, and the 5-year survival rate following treatment for this type of cancer is only 8.5 percent.
However, emerging research from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston may lead to the development of treatments that will be able to destroy pancreatic cancer cells effectively.
The study, led by Dr. Rosa Hwang, suggests that researchers should look toward a type of scar tissue — the stroma — that surrounds tumors and interacts with tumor cells to locate a better therapeutic target.
Dr. Hwang and team conducted a study of pancreatic cancer, using mouse models, which indicated that they could block the growth of cancer cells by targeting a protein produced by tumor stroma.
The researchers' results appear in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
For the most part, pancreatic stellate cells make up tumor stroma, and researchers believe that it may help protect cancer tumors. This may be because stroma is very dense, but it could also be due to specific properties of stromal cells.
According to the research conducted by Dr. Hwang's laboratory, some stromal cells — particularly pancreatic stellate cells — produce a protein called Dickkopf-3 (DKK3).
Moreover, DKK3 is present at high levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the type of pancreatic cancer that doctors most commonly diagnose.
The protein's activity, Dr. Hwang explains, appears to facilitate the growth of cancer cells, as well as support metastasis and protect the tumors against therapy.
In search of a better treatment for pancreatic cancer, researchers turn to a rare Chinese tree.
In their study in mice, the researchers were able to silence the problematic protein by developing a DKK3-blocking antibody that prevents it from interacting with cancer cells — or any immune cells in the tumor's environment.
By doing this, the investigators managed to block tumor growth in the mice and extend the animals' lives.
"Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis, and it is unclear if its stromal infiltrate contributes to its aggressiveness," says Dr. Hwang, adding, "We demonstrated that DKK3 is produced by [pancreatic stellate cells] and is present in the majority of human pancreatic cancer."
"DKK3 stimulates cancer growth, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Targeting DKK3 in a pancreatic cancer mouse model boosted immune cell infiltration and more than doubled survival."
When they assessed DKK3 expression in human pancreatic cancer tumors, the researchers concluded that at least two-thirds of the people diagnosed with this type of cancer had moderate or high levels of this protein.
In fact, DKK3 levels were 4.5 times higher in people with pancreatic cancer than in healthy cancer-free individuals.
All of these results suggest that DKK3 is a very promising therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer. A newly developed anti-DKK3 drug, Dr. Hwang says, could work on its own, or doctors could administer it in a chemotherapy or immunotherapy combo.
"Previous efforts to target pancreatic cancer stroma were directed at broadly eliminating stromal elements," she explains.
"Our study shows that a more effective strategy may be to inhibit specific tumor-promoting mechanisms attributed to [pancreatic stellate cells], such as DKK3," she concludes.

Making sense out of Vietnam, Kerry and the smear campaign
You'll find what may be the most level-leaded and rational explanation of the whole ugly mess in an article cited by Joseph Bosco in a wonderful post. I realize that all of us, myself included, are reeling with Swift Boat fatigue, but this is an absolute must-read. A sample:
Put aside the claims that John Kerry doesn't deserve his Vietnam medals–claims debunked in newspaper after newspaper, claims that, as the Los Angeles Times recently editorialized, "no informed person can seriously believe." Put aside the question of whether John Kerry was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1968, as he has (probably incorrectly) claimed. As Slate's Fred Kaplan notes, Kerry's diaries say he was "patrolling near the Cambodian line" on that day. (At least one of his crewmates says it was "very hard to tell.") Does that distinction really constitute an important campaign issue?
The medals and the Cambodia charges are partisan hack stuff, cynically repeated in service of the greater Republican good. What genuinely upsets conservatives–including conservative veterans–is something different. First, conservatives think it's hypocritical for Kerry, who denounced the war, to now take credit for having fought in it. As The Wall Street Journal editorialized this week, Kerry has "managed the oxymoronic feat of celebrating both his own war-fighting valor and his antiwar activities when he returned home." But what's oxymoronic about that? What Kerry "celebrates" is that he volunteered for Vietnam–and served heroically–when elites (including Bill Clinton, Dan Quayle, and George W. Bush) were finding ways not to go. That's noble, even if Kerry thinks the war itself was not. And, if Kerry is a hypocrite for having served in a war he opposed, what about Dick Cheney–who avoided serving in a war he supported?
The second thing that genuinely angers conservatives–including some of Kerry's fellow swift boat captains–is that he called the war immoral. Kerry began his famous 1971 Senate testimony by recounting the recent Winter Soldier Investigation, in which soldiers spoke of atrocities they had committed. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's latest anti-Kerry ad intersperses his graphic descriptions of those atrocities (without explaining that he was paraphrasing firsthand accounts) with outraged veterans saying his testimony "betrayed us" and "dishonored his country."
What the ad doesn't argue, however, is that Kerry's charges were false. It merely suggests he was unpatriotic for leveling them.
There is much more there, including what to make of the claims Kerry committed "atrocities." When I say "read the whole thing," I really, really mean it.

Could somebody please explain to this poor foreigner why this is even an election issue.
Is this about him fabricating a war record and thus being a dishonest candidate or is it about him not being a war hero and therefore not being a suitable leader for the country?
Are people questioning his integrity or his leadership?

Less angry than guy above, but agree with the general gist:
What does whether or not either leader has combat experience has to do with being president, anyway?
Does combat experience mean higher or lower taxes? Better or worse international relations? More or less focus on health care and education?
Bushisms aside, it's not the job of the president to fight a war. That's up to the generals. So I see nothing but a romantic notion in the whole 'war hero' thing.
They had to destroy him and they went after his greatest strength, proven leadership. For months Rove and bush portrayed Kerry as a weak vacillating coward who can't do things decisively, who can't act. So he had to show how he is just the opposite, which his war record proves dramatically. So now the GOP has to destroy that impression. It's an evil game in which they'll make up anything they can to make Kerry look bad.

Leadership of a squad and leadership of America are very different things. I don't see how it would carry over.
Me, I'm with the Anybody But Bush camp (note: I don't actually get a vote, what with being Australian and all). But speaking as someone not very exposed to American media, I can say that all I know about Kerry is that he's Not Bush.
The Kerry camp needs to get cracking.

Twitter Data Breach Compromises Over 5.4 Million Accounts
Data of more than 5.4 million Twitter users have been shared on a hacker forum for free that contains non-public information acquired through an API vulnerability fixed in January 2022.
Besides this, a cybersecurity researcher has also disclosed another huge and possibly more significant data breach, containing a data dump of millions of Twitter records that have abraded public information as well as private phone numbers and email addresses, which are not supposed to be disclosed to the public, reports Bleeping Computer.
Let's take a look at the background of the Twitter breach.
When Was The Hack First Discovered?
Back in January 2022, HackerOne user "zhirinovskiy" reported a Twitter vulnerability that allowed an attacker to find a Twitter account by its phone number/email, even if the user has prohibited it in the privacy options.
"This is a serious threat, as people can not only find users who have disabled discoverability by email/phone number, but any attacker with a basic knowledge of scripting/coding can enumerate a big chunk of the Twitter user base unavailable to enumeration prior (create a database with phone/email to username connections)," stated the description in the report submitted by zhirinovskiy via bug bounty platform HackerOne.
On January 6, 2022, Twitter acknowledged the issue and fixed it on January 13, 2022. Back then, it did not say anything about anyone exploiting the vulnerability. The company even rewarded zhirinovskiy with a bounty of $5,040 for discovering the bug.
When Was The Data Leaked?
In July this year, a threat actor with the username "Devil" sold leaked data of 5.4 million Twitter accounts on the popular hacking forum Breached Forums for $30,000.
What Did the Leaked Data Consist?
The database contained information about several accounts, including celebrities, companies, and random users. The impacted data included either email address or phone number alongside other public information, such as Twitter IDs, names, login names, locations, verified status, URL, description, follower count, account creation date, friends count, favorites count, statuses count, and profile image URLs.
Twitter Acknowledges The Hack
On August 5, Twitter acknowledged the data breach and said it was "unfortunate".
"After reviewing a sample of the available data for sale, we confirmed that a bad actor had taken advantage of the issue before it was addressed," it said in a statement about the breach.
The company added it would "directly notify the account users [it] could confirm were affected by this issue".
Not One But Multiple Threat Actors Have Exploited The Twitter API Vulnerability
It appears that before Twitter could address the flaw, multiple threat actors took the chance to exploit the API bug to steal private information from the microblogging site.
According to Bleeping Computer, the 5.4 million Twitter records were first shared for free on a hacking forum in September, and now more recently, on November 24th. In other words, anyone can now view private information for free.
Pompompurin, the owner of the Breached hacking forum, told Bleeping Computer last weekend, that the leaked Twitter data is the same that was sold in July this year.
It allegedly includes tens of millions of Twitter user records, including phone numbers, account names, Twitter IDs, display photos, verified statuses, bios, and screen names. In total, there are approximately 17 million records from this recent dump (which could not be independently confirmed) and can be used to target users in phishing attacks.
Chad Loder, the founder of cyber security awareness company Habitu8, was the first to break the news of the alleged larger, more significant data breach on Twitter but was suspended immediately after posting. Subsequently, he posted a redacted sample of this huge data breach on Mastodon.
"I have just received evidence of a massive Twitter data breach affecting millions of Twitter accounts in EU and US. I have contacted a sample of the affected accounts and they confirmed that the breached data is accurate. This breach occurred no earlier than 2021," Loder shared on Twitter.
According to Loder, the data from this breach is "not the same data" as was seen in the July breach, as it is in a "completely different format" and has "different affected accounts".
Bleeping Computer confirmed with several users that the phone numbers are valid, confirming this additional data breach is real. Apparently, the original data sold in August did not contain any of these phone numbers.
This only goes on to show that Twitter's data breach is much larger than previously disclosed with a huge amount of user data being circulated among threat actors.
Meanwhile, Pompompurin confirmed with Bleeping Computer that this other massive breach was not their responsibility, and they did not know who created the newly discovered Twitter API bug, suggesting that other people were using this API vulnerability.
This newly discovered data dump comprises of many files broken up by country and area codes, including Europe, Israel, and the USA.
Twitter has yet to provide a statement on the additional data dump of private information.
How Can Twitter Users Protect Themselves Against The Hack?
Twitter users are recommended to ignore and delete any suspicious emails claiming account suspension, log-in issues, or losing verified status, as they are likely to be phishing attempts to steal login credentials.
Also, users can enable 2-factor authentication using authentication apps or hardware security keys to protect accounts from unauthorized logins.

With over thirty years of experience in classic motorsport, race preparation, trackside support, restoration, engine and drive train rebuilds Graber Sportgarage caters for a select clientele of classic sports car owners from around the globe. The origins of "Carrosserie Graber" date back to 1925 when Hermann Graber started as an independent coachbuilder in Wichtrach near Berne. In 1929 a Panhard-Levassor bodied by Graber won first place at the St. Moritz concours d`elegace, wich gave Graber well deserved and valuable publicity. In the 1930`s Graber became world famous for beautiful convertible & coupés designs and creations as well as for his perfect craftmanship. Until his passing in 1970 Hermann Graber had designed and built over 800 bodies on chassis ranging from Alvis, Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, Duesenberg, Lagonda, Packard, Rolls-Royce to Rover and others. With Hermann Graber`s demise the coachbuilding activity was discontinued, but the mechanical workshop and body shop were carried on by his widow until 1980. From 1980 to 1996 the Graber company was one of a few hand-picked official Ferrari dealers in Switzerland. Futhermore the company was very active in the field of complete restorations of Italian and German sports cars. In 2001 Graber Sportgarage merged with "Oldtimer Reparatur AG" the workshop of Markus Scharnhorst and moved all activities to a bigger and more suitable location in Toffen, near Berne. The main workshop, the showroom as well the head offices are still located in Toffen until today. In 2014 the company opened a second showroom located in the shopping area in Lyssach near Burgdorf in order to get greater exposure of its classic cars it has on sale. In April 2019 the company is happy to have expanded into second, more modern workshop complete with offices and showroom in nearby Münsingen. The new branch will service and repair some of our customer`s classic race cars but will mainly focus on services, repairs and sales of Ferraris of the more recent eras.


give strength to body and soul.
I'm floating in the warm waves at sunset, scanning the ocean floor for bright tropical fish and the waving antennae of spiny lobsters peeking from under their rocky hiding places. I imagine I'm a mermaid, my body undulating through the salty sea, floating grass tickling my scales. I lift my head periodically, the water rolling gently over my body as I keep an eye on my beach bag, although my concern is truly unnecessary. I am nearly alone. Only a few other people dot the beach, and after half an hour or so, I am the only one left. I emerge from the surf, and leave my snorkel, then head back in to float in the warm water. I stand, grab a handful of sargassum and shake it over my palm, then smile in wonder at the tiny creatures wiggling against my skin. Baby shrimps and a little crab scramble furiously over my hand, searching for their sea weed home. I feel gentle ridges in the sandy ocean bottom under my feet, their wavy shape carved by the moon's gravitational dance. Feeling completely at peace, I leave the sea. The balmy air chills my wet skin.


Google's answer to header bidding, an approach to selling online ads that threatened its overwhelming dominance in that business, is becoming widely available now after two years of testing.
Before header bidding, Google for nearly a decade built a seemingly unbreachable position in online ad sales that let it cherry-pick the best ad inventory from around the web for resale at a markup. With every publisher that used its Doubleclick for Publishers service to sell ads, Google was in place to beat any incoming best offer by just a cent. And because of its runaway lead over competing services, Google was the only one with this sort of an advantage.
That changed in 2016 when word spread like wildfire that a hack – now known as header bidding – could get around Google's position. Header bidding allowed publishers to collect bids from multiple partners at once instead of relying on just one, such as Doubleclick for Publishers, to wrangle bids.
Suddenly, publishers were seeing double-digit percentage-point revenue gains and exerting more control over how they sold their ad space. The surge against Google's empire became so successful that powerhouses like Facebook and Amazon joined the fray, forcing Google to rethink how it did business with publishers.
Exchange Bidding puts an end to Google's ability to select the very best inventory for itself; with Exchange Bidding, Google is now on equal footing with the rest of the industry. Publishers can now also see every bid in every auction.
Publishers and ad tech executives with direct knowledge of the program, who spoke with Ad Age on condition of anonymity to protect industry relationships, say Google is indeed playing fair, but added that some issues remain.
Google is offering 10 exchange partners through Exchange Bidding, including new ones such as Triplelift, Aerserv and Smaato, from which publishers can choose. Although in the past it would have been likely that pubs would have worked with nearly all 10 partners to increase demand for their inventory, today they're far more likely to choose fewer.
Google said last September that it wouldn't do business with any partner that doesn't adopt the ads.txt initiative, an effort to fight a form of ad fraud called domain spoofing.
A healthy mix of revenue is also in play with publishers that use header bidding and Google's Exchange Bidding simultaneously, people said, adding that few want to be dependent on only Google.
In the future, Google says it plans to expand Exchange Bidding into more formats such as video ads.

We're interested in everything about education, but a few topics are top-of-mind right now: fulfilling potential, collection of data and its use in formative assessment, innovation and exploration, English Language Learners, the need for ongoing professional development, and how to provide greater equity for all in every sphere.
Dr. Temple Grandin is amazing, inspiring, and always has fascinating insights and experience to share.
A Data-Driven Culture: Who's Behind the Wheel?
During this panel, learn how to drive with data, creating the culture needed to impact change in educators and students. Two of the panelists have penned white papers on this topic: Dr. Gregory Firn's A New Math Classroom: Creating a Data-Driven Culture, and Sharnell Jackson's Using Actionable Data to Personalize Math Learning.
The education sector is experiencing an epic period of excitement and investment, fueling vibrant entrepreneurial activity. The challenge for many is making the transition from start-up to scale, achieving broad-based awareness, adoption, and financial sustainability. CEOs of leading growth-stage companies, drawn from the Tyton Growth50, will share their lessons learned in driving scale and impact within their markets. Featured speakers include our CEO, Jessie Woolley-Wilson.
In this playful one-hour master class, Dr. Jane McGonigal will demonstrate the three most important techniques of future forecasting, while taking a tour of five of the most surprising potential futures for education in the next decade. The final 15 minutes of this session will be devoted to playing a collaborative future forecasting game that Jane has designed just for the SXSWedu community.
Opportunity gaps, especially those linked to mathematics, persist at all levels of education. Algebra has become the gatekeeper for a college education and ultimately, a career. Although the majority of Americans believe math is the most important academic subject, students drop out at higher rates when introduced to harder STEM subjects.
ELLs are a growing yet underserved segment of the U.S. student population, and teaching these diverse learners presents unique and highly complex challenges. This panel brings together educators and industry experts to explore how digital tools can best serve ELLs. If you're interested in learning about technology that does help ELLs, check out Six Strategies to Reach, Teach, and Close Math Gaps: For Latino English Language Learners in Elementary and Middle School by Dr. Tim Hudson.

Q: How to declare Filter attribute globally in Global.asax.cs file I have implemented one action filter in my MVC project. Now I want to add it globally so that I do not need to write filter attribute just above the action methods. I am using BundleMinifyInlineJsCss nuget package.
I have tried with following code in Global.asax.cs file:
GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new ReplaceTagsAttribute());

Here is my filter code:
 public class ReplaceTagsAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
 {
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Filter = new BundleAndMinifyResponseFilter(filterContext.HttpContext.Response.Filter);
    }
 }

I am getting an error: Filtering is not allowed. How can I declare it Globally?
Thanks.

A: I think adding a null check will work for you.
    public class ReplaceTagsAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
 {
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
       var response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;
 if (response.Filter == null) return; // <-----
response.Filter = new BundleAndMinifyResponseFilter(response.Filter);

    }
 }

Professor Anne Carlisle on Brexit
Morveth Ward
Professor Anne Carlisle, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive of Falmouth University, talks Brexit
Many are asking what impact Brexit will have on Higher Education in Cornwall, but few are asking what impact Higher Education can have in Cornwall after Brexit.
It's an important question because universities are intrinsically linked with industry, innovation, information and fostering the talents and creativity of the young people who will shape our county's future.
There is great political, economic and social uncertainly as the dust settles after the referendum result, but there is something that is definite: Higher Education will play a vital role in contributing to the wealth – both financial and cultural – of Britain and particularly of Cornwall, beyond the "triggering" of Article 50.
Over a decade, the European Union has invested more than £100 million pounds in improving access to Higher Education in Cornwall. Falmouth University has been a major beneficiary of that funding; it has been instrumental in our growth.
We're now proud to be ranked as the number one university for the creative industries in the UK, we are sixth in the country for the percentage of our graduates in employment after 6 months, one in every 200 jobs in the county is supported by us, and we contribute more than £1million a week to the Cornish economy. More of Cornwall's young people are accessing Higher Education than ever before and our key strategic objective of helping to grow Cornwall will not waver.
Although EU funding has assisted our growth, our continued successes are not dependent on more European money and neither is our continued contribution to the local economy. Together with colleagues at the universities of Plymouth and Exeter, and with Further Education providers in the county, we will continue to work with local and national businesses to share knowledge, develop ground-breaking, industry-facing courses, support new research, foster start-up enterprises and create graduates with desirable skills and strong connections to the county where they can stay and contribute their energy, ideas and abilities.
Less tangibly, but perhaps more importantly in a turbulent and unsettled period, universities are in a position to articulate and enhance our creative and connected communities; within and across borders. From fine art, to architecture; music to marine biology, English to engineering, creativity and knowledge speaks to all of us, regardless of nationality or ethnicity.
At Falmouth University, our students are drawn from over 100 countries around the globe and our campus is a vibrant assembly of cultures and ideas. Our academic staff collaborate with colleagues all over the world, pooling their resources and expertise.
The satisfaction of, and value in, sharing knowledge across borders has always been recognised. Europe's network of scholars precedes the creation of the EU and has weathered greater challenges than Brexit. We will continue to foster our links with colleagues in Europe and globally, to ensure they remain strong and advantageous to Cornwall, which after all, has always been in the vanguard of communication, commerce and discovery.

A writing intensive course is one where writing (formal and informal) is an integral part of learning: that is, students in a Writing Intensive course write not only to demonstrate their knowledge of the subject matter (tests and research/term papers) but are engaged in informal, exploratory writing, writing that they use to push their thinking, to deepen their understanding of the subject matter, to explore questions they have about the subject matter.
In a WI course, the goal is to give students as many opportunities as possible to write (exploratory writing-to-learn using informal formats and writing-to-show-knowledge in formal assignments), to receive feedback from their peers and their instructors during the writing process, and to demonstrate how to write in a particular discipline, understanding the requirements regarding writing styles inherent in that discipline.
WOU students are required to complete a minimum of two WI courses for graduation. Ideally, they should have a Writing Intensive course in the major and in the minor – courses where class size is kept to 25 at most. Additionally, at least one of these Writing Intensive courses should be concentrated in the upper-division (300-400 level) offerings where the subject matter of each discipline is explored in more depth than in the LACC courses and where we can show students how to write in that discipline's style. WR 122 is designated as a prerequisite for undergraduate Writing Intensive courses. Departments, then, need to develop and maintain upper-division Writing Intensive course in the majors/minors they offer. The Writing Center Director provides assistance to departments and instructors who are developing WI courses. The Faculty Senate General Education Committee recommends the Writing Intensive label for courses, based on statements and syllabi submitted by individuals or departments, going through their curriculum committees.
Students will show they can use writing to extend and deepen their learning about their discipline.
Students will show they can use sources for formal writing to critically analyze, summarize, paraphrase, and incorporate ideas and quotations from their reading into their writing as required in the particular discipline.
Students will show they can generate ideas for, draft, revise and edit their written work.
Students will demonstrate skills in communicating the subject matter of their discipline through accurate word choice, varied and coherent sentence structure, and appropriate use of the conventions of standard written English.
Students will organize information in their formal papers appropriately.
Students will use the conventions of documentation within their discipline.
Students must have regular, frequent opportunities to write.
Students will use informal and formal writing to extend and deepen their learning of the subject and to make connections between subjects in the particular discipline. Specifically, the writing done should be not only formal writing to show/transmit knowledge (papers and tests), but also informal writing to explore, to think, and to learn. Informal writing could include journal writing, reading logs where students record their questions and answers, project logs where students record progress on a particular project, laboratory notes, field notes, preliminary drafts (given peer or instructor feedback but not graded), etc.
Student formal and informal writing for the term should total approximately 5000 words (equivalent to about 20 typed, double-spaced pages). Approximately 60% of the total writing should be formal, polished writing.
Students should have opportunities to have peer feedback for polished writing assignments, and/or instructors should intervene in the early stages of writing a paper through conferences or comments on drafts.
Discipline-specific writing instruction and course content instruction should be interdependent.
Instructors should teach writing issues that pertain to their specific discipline. The campus Writing Center can provide support for students' general writing skills development.
At least 25% of the course grade should be based on the combined writing components.
Each course should have a maximum enrollment of 25 students.
Complete a Writing Intensive Designation Form for the course that you wish to change to WI course. Highlight writing-related sections of the sample syllabus in yellow.
Complete a course change curricular e-form and attach your WI proposal to the curriculum e-form.
Complete a temporary course change approval form and attach to your proposal (see facultysenate/curriculum/).
Obtain division chair approval signatures.
Send the form/application packet to the chair of the General Education Committee.


Students work directly under the supervision of a registered nurse to become familiar with the duties and responsibilities of the nursing assistant and home health aide. They learn to provide services contributing to the welfare of patients in a nursing home, private home, or hospital. The course includes classroom theory and testing as well as instruction on how to assist patients with hygiene, feeding, skin care, bed making, dressing, movement and other general assistance. Clinical experience at a local nursing home is included. Nursing ALHE 1500 is a prerequisite to HCC's nursing program and many other school's nursing programs as well.

I didn't violate the Restraining Order, they contacted me first and told me they wanted to see me…they told me it was OK to come home…so why am I charged with Criminal Contempt of Court?
Once a N.J. Superior Court Judge issues a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, only a Judge can 'drop' or agree to lift the protections of that Order. The protected party cannot violate the Order, only the person (we'll call them the defendant for the time being) can violate the Order. Any violation of the Order will survive the dismissal of the Order and you can be convicted of 'Criminal Contempt of Court' for that violation, which can send you to prison for up to 18 months.
The phone rings, and you answer it. The person who called you is the protected person under a N.J. DV Restraining Order. They ask you a question and you answer it. Who goes to jail charged with criminal contempt of Court? You.
You look out your front door and the protected person (PP) is standing in front of your home. You walk outside and they say something to you, to which you make a gesture. Who goes to jail? You.
Only the person (the defendant) who the Order is issued against can violate it. So what do you do if the protected person will not leave you in peace and keeps contacting you? Create a record of the actions of the PP. Keep all messages from them. DO NOT RESPOND! Whether it is voicemails, texts, emails, pictures, letters, packages, or any other items sent to you, keep it and make a record of it. Whether it is them standing outside your house; them following you; or, their family/friends doing this, record it on video and make a record of it. Whether it is posts on Facebook, Instagram or some other social media, take screen shots of it and make a record of it. DO NOT RESPOND!
Once you have the record of it, make copies and give it to your attorney to use as evidence as to why the Order of Protection is not necessary. If the case is pending as a Temporary Restraining Order with a pending hearing as to whether the Court should make the Order a Final Restraining Order (FRO), your attorney can use that evidence to establish that the protections are not necessary based on the actions of the PP. If the Court has already issued an FRO, your attorney can make a Motion for Reconsideration of the Order issued against you, since the PP does not need the Order to protect them since they are willing to come near you, or contact you, to begin with. Alternatively you can ask the Court to issue a DV Restraining Order against the PP, to protect you from their obvious harassment. The most important thing for you to do, is not lose your calm. Instead, build your case against the PP.
Next Wrong place. Wrong time. The defense of 'Not Me' does not work, and you can be charged with the crime that another person has committed by being part of the circumstances that led to the crime.
This is excellent legal advice. Acting without thinking can result in jail time.

China's 2nd Largest Bitcoin Mining Hardware Producer Plans To Launch $1 Bln IPO In Hong Kong
China's second-largest BTC mining hardware maker plans to list a $1 bln IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, local media reports.
Canaan Creative, China's second-largest Bitcoin (BTC) mining hardware manufacturer plans to seek an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company's decision to conduct an IPO in Hong Kong, instead of in the US, was reported by South China Morning Post (SCMP) Wednesday, May 9.
If successful, the company would reportedly be the first ever blockchain-related company to be listed on the city's markets, SCMP states further.
Sources familiar with the matter, who asked to remain unidentified because Canaan's listings plans have not yet been made public, told SCMP that the company is seeking to raise $1 bln for its IPO, and that it had previously been considering both Hong Kong and US markets.
According to SCMP, in 2016, Canaan had sought to list an IPO on China's yuan-denominated A-share market, but the attempt fell through after regulators contested the deal's proposed valuation. In 2017, the company again attempted a listing on China's "New Third Board" market, which again fell through, even though the market targets startups and is relatively less stringently regulated.
Canaan Creative is based in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, and the company released unaudited results in January that showed a 600-fold increase in its annual net income of 410 mln yuan ($64 mln) in 2017. SCMP states that the majority of Canaan's clients come from China, a country that has long been a crypto mining superpower due to its cheap electricity supply.
In 2017, China was reported to have filed the most patent filings for blockchain technology of any country in the world, and the country is alleged to have accounted for 50 to 70 percent of BTC mining worldwide that same year.
However, toughened regulatory crackdown on the crypto space by Chinese authorities, including plans to potentially restrict the power use of BTC miners in future, could significantly impact the landscape in which Canaan and its rival, BTC mining manufacturing giant Bitmain, are currently operating. The latter has already attempted to circumvent Chinese restrictions by extending its operations to Canada, Switzerland and Singapore, as well as, although unconfirmed, potentially the US.

Penn State cuts ties with O-line coach Limegrover
BY DONNIE COLLINS / STAFF WRITER / Published: January 1, 2020
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE Matt Limegrover presided over an offensive line that allowed 32 sacks, the 33rd-highest total in the nation.
Penn State's offensive line authored one of the most dominant performances of the season, paving the way for nearly 400 rushing yards against Memphis on Saturday in the Cotton Bowl.
It didn't help Matt Limegrover keep his job, though.
The veteran assistant's contract was not renewed by Penn State on Tuesday, head coach James Franklin announced, ending Limegrover's four-year run rebuilding a Nittany Lions offensive line that was in shambles when he took over the post.
"We appreciate all of Matt's contributions to our program for the last four seasons," Franklin said in a statement. "We wish Matt and his family all the best in the future."
The statement indicated Franklin will begin a national search for Limegrover's replacement.
Penn State will return three regular starters — center Michal Menet and tackles Rasheed Walker and Will Fries — along the offensive line in 2020, as well as CJ Thorpe and Mike Miranda, who split 13 starts at right guard.
Under Limegrover, Penn State has improved steadily over the years in the running game, going from 4.6 yards per carry and 174.9 yards per game in his first season in 2016 to better than 190 yards per game and a 5.0 average per carry the last two seasons.
That said, Limegrover's lines have performed worse as the years passed when it came to protecting the passer.
In 2016, opponents sacked quarterback Trace McSorley just 24 times, giving Penn State the 44th-best sacks-per-game rate in the nation on the way to the Big Ten championship. But the Lions have allowed more sacks each season since, bottoming out at 32 this season, the 33rd-highest total in the nation.
The move comes just days after Penn State hired offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca away from Minnesota, and it marks the second time in his tenure at Penn State Franklin has had to replace an offensive line coach. Herb Hand guided the sanctions-depleted offensive line in 2014 and 2015 before moving on to the same position at Auburn.


Plum Crazy Real Estate and Business: Where are the for rent signs in the Seattle Central District?
I spent the day with an investor looking at single-family homes for sale in the Central District. As we were looking at what was for sale, we were also keeping our eyes open for "For Rent" signs, so she could call and check what was available and what other landlords were charging. Amazingly, we didn't see any.
Well, so much for my recommendation to new landlords about how to find rental rates! This made me wonder... why no signs? Does it mean there are no rentals available in the area, or does it mean landlords don't like posting signs for some reason? Perhaps they don't want vandals to know they have an empty unit? Are they afraid the Occupy people will occupy their property? Perhaps they simply have better ways to find tenants.
My experience is that "For Rent" signs are a great way to find potential tenants. But, Craigslist.com has quickly taken over that role, so perhaps there is no need for signs anymore. What do you think? got any ideas?
Interesting information about the rental real estate market in Seattle. I'm curious to hear if you find out any more. I totally agree that rental signs are handy for a few reasons. Best of success to you this year!
Many HOAs do not like real estate signs so I have mine INSIDE the windows or my QR code on the door - having an AGGRESSIVE posting routine for Craigslist is the key.
