After South Africa's post-Zuma euphoria, it was inevitable that a measure of realpolitik would intrude at some stage. Last night's cabinet reshuffle might well have been such a moment, and probably the first of many, writes the Catholic Parliamentary Liaison Office's (CPLO) Mike Pothier.
While not a complete overhaul, the reshuffled cabinet appears to be a case of "getting rid of the worst and bringing back the best, with a fair number of questionable performers left alone or shifted sideways," said Mike Pothier, Programme Manager of the CPLO. There were high hopes for a full clean-up of cabinet,however Pothier believes that President Cyril Ramaphosa was not able, and perhaps not willing, to move so far or so fast.
Some of former President Zuma's closest allies are out: Mosebenzi Zwane, David Mahlobo, Des van Rooyen, Faith Muthambi, Bongani Bongo. Conversely, people with a track record for diligence and hard work are in, significantly strengthening the executive: Pravin Gordhan, Nhlanhla Nene, Zweli Mkhize, Derek Hanekom, Gwede Mantashe.
However, there are a number of surprises including the retention of Bathabile Dlamini, who had a dismal record as Social Development minister. She moves to the Women's portfolio within the presidency. "This signals Mr Ramaphosa's enforced sensitivity to 'constituencies' within the ANC; in this case the Women's League, of which Ms Dlamini is president," said Pothier in his response.
Similarly, the survival of Nomvula Mokonyane, could have been a done in the same vein. Her tenure as Water and Sanitation Minister was so bad that the Standing Committee on Public Accounts chairperson has described her department as having "totally collapsed". Other questions include the retention of Malusi Gigaba who moves from Finance to Home Affairs – both senior posts.
"Perhaps Ms Dlamini, Ms Mokonyane and Mr Gigaba have simply been placed in what the airlines call a holding pattern," said Pothier, suggesting that the cabinet as a whole is not in its final stage.
The new-look cabinet also includes some foes. Dlamini-Zuma takes over from Jeff Radebe in charge of monitoring and evaluation in the presidency, but is balanced with "reliable allies" such as Naledi Pandor, who takes over Higher Education, and will have to deal with the free tertiary education headache.
Pothier said that a possible positive of the new cabinet is that the country may now be spared the embarrassment of "ministers lying to us, to the Courts, and to Parliament in pursuit of their not-so-hidden agendas".
However, the biggest concern with the shuffle is the inclusion of David Mabuza as deputy president – something that might negatively impact Ramaphosa's vision of renewal and restoration.
Mabuza's reputation is "every bit as low as Jacob Zuma's; some would say more so", said Pothier, pointing to the allegations of the use of violence in pursuit of political ends. Mr Mabuza, he said, will not necessarily wield much direct power as second in command, but there is no reason to think that his political ambitions have now been exhausted. And he is known, like Mr Ramaphosa, to be willing to play a long game.
Why are we outraged by the burning of books?


With my summer holiday a mere 6 weeks away, my mind turns to what I'm going to wear on the beach. I've started with a healthy diet and exercise (but more on that later) but there are a few other factors that I have to consider when buying a bikini.
Luckily House of Fraser came to my rescue with this lovely bikini by Lepel. I'd never heard of the brand before but thought it looked like something I'd normally go for. I wanted something that was bright and vivid, I always find this looks best with a tan don't you? This definitely ticked the colourful box, I really loved the chevron print and added button detail.
Another big factor for me is that the set I buy has mix and match sizes. I'm not sure I've met many people who are the same size on top as they are on the bottom. Buying bikinis has proved difficult in the past as I've always need a different size in the top. House of Fraser have a great selection of mix and match bikinis, so I didn't have that issue.
Lastly I'm always looking out for a bikini top with some support, I can't really get away with wearing a triangle top anymore and if I'm wearing the bikini for a significant amount of hours I need it to be able to support me. This bikini top is not only longline but it also has underwire, making it a double whammy in the hold them up category. The halter neck strap is adjustable and you can remove it if you want to get rid of those pesky tan lines. I'd really recommend this bikini if you have a bigger bust, don't think you have to resort to rubbish swimwear.
What do you think to my new leopard print beach towel, working as a nice background here don't you think?
Oh and don't forget your sunnies and suncream!
"Beauty: Favourite Red Toned Lipsticks"
Such a gorgeous, vibrant bikini… I just SO wish that I actually had a holiday to wear it to 😉 Fab post lovely!

Each conveyor belt is ℓ meters long, and it moves at a constant speed of c meters per second. Víctor, moving uniformly at v meters per second, spends a + b v2 energy units per second, where a and b are two positive constants. That is, he has a minimal cost a for breathing, plus an increase proportional to the square of his speed v w.r.t. to the ground he walks on. Moreover, we have the restriction v ≤ 10 (he is in top shape, but he cannot move faster than this).
Write a program such that, for each given combination of ℓ, c, a and b, prints the speed with which Victor will spend the minimum amount of energy while traversing the conveyor belt in opposite direction.
Input consists of several cases, each with ℓ, c, a and b, all them strictly positive real numbers. Assume c < 10.
For every case, print in a line the optimal speed with 4 digits after the decimal point. Input cases do not have precision issues.

Q: To refresh the component after performing POST operation I have component called customers-list where I am displaying all my customers from the API:
customers-list.html
<div *ngFor="let customer of customers">
     <p>{{customer.name}</p>
</div>

customers-list.ts
import { Component Input} from '@angular/core';
import { ICustomer} from 'src/app/models/app.models';
import { CustomersService } from 'src/app/services/customers.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'drt-customers-list',
  templateUrl: './customers-list.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./customers-list.component.scss'],
})
export class CustomerListComponent {
 public customers:  ICustomer[] ;

 constructor(public customersService: CustomersService,) {}

  public async ngOnInit(): Promise<void> {
    this.customers = await this.customersService.getCustomersList('');
  }

}

I have another component called add-customer, where I will add new customer like this:
public onaddCustomer(): void {
    this.someCustomer = this.addCustomerForm.value;
    this.customersService.addCustomer( this.someCustomer).subscribe(
      () => { // If POST is success
        this.successMessage();
      },
      (error) => { // If POST is failed
        this.failureMessage();
      }
    );

  }

Now POST operation happens fine, but the customer-list is not updated without refreshing the page.
How can I update the customers-list component after successful POST operation, without refreshing the whole page?
services file:
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { ICustomer} from 'src/app/models/app.models';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root',
})

export class CustomersService {
 private  baseUrl : string = '....api URL....';

  public async getCustomersList(): Promise<ICustomer[]> {
    const apiUrl: string = `${this.baseUrl}/customers`;

    return this.http.get<ICustomer[]>(apiUrl).toPromise();
  }

public addCustomer(customer: ICustomer): Observable<object> {
  const apiUrl: string = `${this.baseUrl}/customers`;

  return this.http.post(apiUrl, customer);
}

}

A: The main reason it is not refreshing because ngOnIniit executes only at the time of initialization. I am assuming you are not using any state management library ( data store ) so the best solution will be use a Subject in CustomerService.  Here is the code, it may not compile, i just quickly wrote it in notepad for you. Also you need to make sure you add method is really adding customer and getCustomer method really getting the newly added customer. If both are working then my solution will work.
CustomerListComponent
import { Component Input} from '@angular/core';
import { ICustomer} from 'src/app/models/app.models';
import { CustomersService } from 'src/app/services/customers.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'drt-customers-list',
  templateUrl: './customers-list.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./customers-list.component.scss'],
})
export class CustomerListComponent {
 public customers:  ICustomer[] ;

 constructor(public customersService: CustomersService,) {}

  public async ngOnInit(): Promise<void> {
    this.initCustomerAddedSubscription();
  }

/**
 * This subscription will execute every single time whenever a customer is added successfully
 *
 */
  public initCustomerAddedSubscription() {
    this.customersService.customerAdded.subscribe((data: boolean) => {
        if(data) {
            this.customers = await this.customersService.getCustomersList('');
        }
    });

  }

}

CustomersService
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { ICustomer} from 'src/app/models/app.models';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root',
})

export class CustomersService {
 private  baseUrl : string = '....api URL....';
 // use this subject in onAddCustomer method
 public   customerAdded: Subject<boolean>;

 // constructor to initialize subject
 constructor() {
    this.customerAdded = new Subject<boolean>();
 }
 public async getCustomersList(): Promise<ICustomer[]> {
    const apiUrl: string = `${this.baseUrl}/customers`;

    return this.http.get<ICustomer[]>(apiUrl).toPromise();
  }

public addCustomer(customer: ICustomer): Observable<object> {
  const apiUrl: string = `${this.baseUrl}/customers`;

  return this.http.post(apiUrl, customer);
}

}

onaddCustomer Method
public onaddCustomer(): void {
    this.someCustomer = this.addCustomerForm.value;
    this.customersService.addCustomer( this.someCustomer).subscribe(
      () => { // If POST is success
        // You can pass in the newly added customer as well if you want for any reason. boolean is fine for now.
        this.customersService.customerAdded.next(true);
        this.successMessage();
      },
      (error) => { // If POST is failed
        this.failureMessage();
      }
    );

  }

A: The ngOnInit only runs once. You have assigned the customers variable in the ngOnInit. So, it is updating only on refreshing. You need to assign the value to this.customers every time the request is completed.

A: constructor(public customersService: CustomersService, private cd: ChangeDetectorRef) {}
    public onaddCustomer(): void {
        this.someCustomer = this.addCustomerForm.value;
        this.customersService.addCustomer( this.someCustomer).subscribe(
          () => { // If POST is success
            this.customers = await this.customersService.getCustomersList('');
            console.log(this.customers) //are you getting updating list here without refreshing.
             this.cd.markForCheck();
          },
          (error) => { // If POST is failed
            this.failureMessage();
          }
        );

      }

Former Mayor, Township of Irvington, New Jersey (July 1, 2002-July 2014)
Current Business/Community Development Specialist, BCB Community Bank
Wayne Smith has been an active, prominent member of Irvington's civic, political, and social sectors throughout his 20-year residency in the township. During this time, he has crafted key alliances with all levels of government, in addition to private enterprise. This ability to build consensus helped propel Wayne Smith to victory in 1996 as an Irvington Council Member At-Large. He was resoundingly re-elected two years later, and at that time, unanimously chosen by his colleagues to serve as president of the legislative body.
His personal philosophy, "If you conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it," has served Wayne Smith well during his life pursuits. In November 2001, he announced his candidacy for Mayor. Promoting an aggressive agenda to improve life in Irvington, Wayne Smith in May 2002 was elected as Mayor—the 20th since Irvington was incorporated as a township in 1898. His entire slate of council candidates—known as "Team Irvington"—were also elected, further demonstrating his proficiency for building effective partnerships. As a precursor to these impressive victories, the candidates backed by Team Irvington swept the Board of Education election in April 2002.
Mayor Smith was installed in Irvington's top political post on July 1, 2002. Having identified three keys to Irvington's revitalization—public safety, quality of life, and economic development—Mayor Smith implemented innovative programs in these areas to reclaim the town's glorious past as a safe, attractive, and proud community.
Mayor Smith gained valuable experience in municipal operations as the chief of staff to former Irvington Mayor Michael G. Steele. During his tenure on the Council, Mayor Smith sought and received funding from state officials to help balance the township budget and stabilize taxes. Under his guidance, the Council authorized the Special Improvement District, a program to enhance Irvington's shopping districts. In addition, he helped establish a Boys' and Girls' Club in the township, and continues to sponsor a Little League baseball team every year in Irvington.
Mayor Smith was born to the late Mordean Smith and George Rucker in the City of Newark, New Jersey; and he attended Bloomfield College in Bloomfield, New Jersey. He is the president and CEO of Wayne Smith & Associates, an Irvington, New Jersey-based public relations, marketing, and public affairs consulting firm, serving clients throughout the state, in addition to New York, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, and Los Angeles. An astute, accomplished businessman, Mayor Smith is also chairman of the Black Urban Alliance, the African American Chamber of Commerce of NY/NJ, and the chairman of the Legislative Task Force of the Minority Business Braintrust. As co-chairperson of NJ Citizen Action, Mayor Smith's efforts resulted in Community Reinvestment Agreements with more than 20 banks throughout NJ, stipulating low-interest mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income citizens. In 1995, Mayor Smith was a member of the New Jersey delegation at the White House Conference on Small Business. He is currently the Business/Community Development Specialist at BCB Community Bank in New Jersey.
The civic and professional careers of Mayor Smith are highlighted by the following activities and accomplishments:
President of New Jersey Conference of Mayors, 2013-2014

Q: Drawing Low Resolution Images Really Big I am creating a game for android and I would like the sprites to have the look of an old NES game. I have some 12x12 pixel images and would like them to keep their pixelated look as they are scaled up.
Please view the following link
http://imgur.com/a/LR3eK/all
One image is a screenshot of the image as it looks in an editor. This is how I would like it to look in game. The other image is what it actually looks like blown up in game (blurry).
The image is imported as a Drawable and I'm calling Drawable.draw(Canvas canvas) on it.
I've read up on the problem and found some info here (Android: drawable resolutions). I believe it's either that anti aliasing or some kind of interpolation needs to be disabled but I cannot figure out how to do this with a Drawable.
I did however find out that it is possible with Bitmaps but my game requires lots of sprite re-scaling and, although I found this Resize Bitmap in Android I do not think re-scaling bitmaps is a good idea.
I am new Android and no where near a professional programmer so please shed some light on me.

A: In my app I had to do the exact same thing!
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setDither(false);
paint.setAntiAlias(false);

And I used pixel-sized images to save space, and a Matrix to handle rotation and scaling (though that's your choice).
Hope this helps, good luck!
EDIT:
also if you're using the createScaledBitmap, or any similar functions, make sure you pass false for any filtering parameters.

Exclusive Interview with Tim Roth on "Grace of Monaco" Film
Ravenfox13 9:46:00 AM INTERVIEWS
British actor Tim Roth followed this early success with roles in Mike Leigh's Meantime and Stephen Frears's The Hit. Known for his talent with accents and his ability to slip seamlessly into characters, Roth received international attention in 1990 after starring in Vincent & Theo as well as Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. He then caught the eye of director Quentin Tarantino, who cast him in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
In his upcoming film 'Grace of Monaco' Tim Roth plays as Prince Rainier III of Monaco was married to American actress Grace Kelly (Nicole Kidman) and was the longest ruling European monarch at the time of his death in 2005.
What attracted you to this role?
It was far from anything I've done before, especially since I do not come from such a family or such a universe. It was a great challenge but I thought I would not be the right person to this role. Olivier Dahan was not of this opinion, and this is someone with whom every actor should work because it is excellent. (Laughs) This is just for me. I wanted to work with Olivier and Nicole Kidman but also because I do not know if I could do it. Already because it away really the roles I've played so far. So when I was offered this role, I immediately saw as a challenge.Because it was not the kind of character that I will be interpret imagined one day I did not know if I was capable of. Olivier was sure of his choice. It is thanks to him that I could interpret such a character.
Did you know that Prince Rainier before this shoot?
To be honest, I knew nothing about him. I knew he was the husband of Grace Kelly. And this is the kind of stories we're talking about today. The idea of this actress, who won an Oscar ( ed. for The Girl in the province in 1955), a big Hollywood star at the top of his career, and dropped everything for this small Principality where she became the princess. Everyone, directors spectators passing by photographers, was intrigued by this story. And then I discovered the political fracas with the French who ruled at the time and I had no clue before. At the time, an actress who is now Princess of Monaco, it is a subject that fascinates glamor and intrigue people. This is a really intriguing story when you think! With the film, I also discovered the political tensions that there was between Monaco and France. I had never heard of. When we started thinking about it, we wanted to make a strong person who has to fight smart and intelligent. We needed to build his image, his strength. It is a wise business man and a fine politician who is caught in the middle of a maelstrom very difficult to manage things. The film begins when Rainier is about to fall and reveal all the issues of the Rock through advisors prince.
Your opinion on the monarchy is known and yet you agreed to play a prince ...
(Laughs) In fact, I'm not a hardcore fan of the British royal family. For me, the aristocracy is an anachronism and aristocrats, a DNA error. I think these people have a right to exist but living with their people in social housing, working and not taxes. They restore the money spent for the wedding of Charles and Diana, who was taken to the English! This is not the kind of world that attracts me, especially politically. But sometimes it's good to include a person in a world that does not believe. It's interesting, especially since I know of no businessman. I see at Cannes, but I do not hang out with them. Same with politicians.
How have you prepared for this role?
There was not a lot of archive films about him but I've seen a few. The fact that there is little literature on the relationship between Grace and Rainier kept mystery. Otherwise, I read a lot about him because his character intrigued me. I liked to see a man in Rainier in difficult times, to see his vulnerability as each of us can know . In the film, it comes as he explored all the possibilities and find a course ideas.
How would you describe the relationship between Rainier and Grace Kelly?
In the film we juggled two different phases: the idea of a more or less arranged marriage and that of a couple who deeply loves. I was not there when they met but obviously I can imagine this evening in Cannes where they met, how she came to Hollywood, I know they have exchanged letters, they are reviewed then got married. Grace of Monaco is a focus on the couple but could be a focus on couples in general. How two completely opposite worlds come together, the collision and finally adaptation. I think the Prince Rainier was really in love with his wife. This contrasts for example their relationship to that of Diana. The idea for us was always oscillate between these two aspects. I was not there so I do not know how things really happened. What we wanted to do with them both, and that is probably the case of couples in general, is to enter their worlds collide. But I think - or hope - that he really loved her, unlike someone like Diana. There they confessed that they did not like each other.
The film was mostly shot in Belgium, Italy and Monaco studios and little; Did you know the Principality?
Yes, I had already made a film there ( ed. Möbius ) and I just got home I came back to it. But I was especially shown a very interesting interview in which Rainier had raised the issue that Monaco had with France and its willingness to front. More than the content, that is his way of speaking and delivering his message, his confidence and how to move that seemed fascinating to me. I discovered an intriguing character. He never seemed attractive before, but I quickly realized how a woman could fall for him. I also saw pictures of him at the funeral of Grace Kelly, and he seemed devastated, so the idea was to get a version of this to another man in the story.
You give the replica Nicole Kidman; how was it to play with it?
She was on the film for longer than me. She had built her character. She already over the project, it literally floated above us. Then, on the set, we had fun, Nicole is very funny. For this role she has reinvented itself again, it always elsewhere. Her acting choices are very strong and unusual. As we age, especially for women, the job is relentless, we must challenge and take risks. It is a survival mode to last. The role of Grace of Monaco is very difficult.
"GRACE OF MONACO" is released and distributed by CAPTIVE CINEMA.
Showing on December 3, 2014. Nationwide.

The DisInsider > Disney Animation > Kelly Marie Tran Replaces Cassie Steele in Disney Animations 'Raya and the Last Dragon'
Kelly Marie Tran Replaces Cassie Steele in Disney Animations 'Raya and the Last Dragon'
Entertainment Weekly has revealed that Star Wars: The Last Jedi Star, Kelly Marie Tran has signed on to voice Raya in Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon, replacing Cassie Steele (Degrassi) who was announced at D23 last year. Awkwafina is playing Sisu, a dragon in human form who needs Raya's help to reclaim her power and become her true dragon self.
Production on the animated project was ramped up in March, and Raya team had to quickly reshuffle, working with equipment at home and communicating through Zoom. Despite the challenges, director Don Hall says the studio's various teams rallied to create what he calls "the most beautiful animated film I've ever seen." As the filmmaker behind beloved pictures like Winnie the Pooh, Big Hero 6, and Moana, Hall knows what he's talking about.

Ew has also revealed a brand new first look image on the project that reveals some new characters. Featured in the picture are Raya and her trusty steed Tuk Tuk, a creature Hall describes as a fuzzy bear meets "an insect version of an armadillo." As an evil force threatens the fictional kingdom of Kumandra, the two must leave their Heart Lands home and track down the last dragon to help stop the villainous Druun.
Via Entertainment Weekly
Also announced are Hall and Carlos López Estrada (Disney+ Robin Hood remake) as directors, while playwright Qui Nguyen is joining Crazy Rich Asians scribe Adele Lim as co-writer.
"As filmmakers, Don and Carlos bring a combination of animation know-how and emotional storytelling to Raya and the Last Dragon, bringing our fantasy adventure to surprising, original, and dynamic heights," Walt Disney Animation Studios' Chief Creative Officer Jennifer Lee says in a statement to EW. "They both saw the potential for this film and had a strong vision for the story, especially for our lead character, played by the wonderfully talented Kelly Marie Tran. And no small feat, directors Don and Carlos, writers Qui and Adele, and the entire crew of 400 Disney Animation artists are making this film together, while separated and working from home."
Kelly Marie Tran teased that Raya is a high-octane action film, and even hinted that Raya is possibly Disney's newest Disney Princess.
"She is someone who is technically a princess but I think that what's really cool about this project, about this character, specifically is that everyone's trying to flip the narrative on what it means to be a princess," Tran says. "Raya is totally a warrior. When she was a kid, she was excited to get her sword. And she grows up to be a really badass, gritty warrior and can really take care of herself."
Raya's creative team is chugging toward the finish line, Hall says, with the film 50 percent animated at this point. What's astonishing to the filmmakers isn't the fact that they've been able to accomplish so much in the time of coronavirus and global unrest, it's how much Raya mirrors the state of the world.
Raya and the Last Dragon is set to premiere March 21, 2021.

Net metering is a policy that allows consumers who own renewable energy systems to sell their extra power back to the utility. So if a wind turbine or a solar power system produces more energy than a home or business can use, the excess will go back onto the grid and the utility must buy it at retail or wholesale rates.
And yes, some meters actually run backwards.
The paperwork to participate in net metering can be daunting and many renewable energy owners don't even know the program exists. But more than 40 states have net metering programs, and federal law requires all state to consider adopting standards by the end of next year.
Go here to see if your state has net metering laws.

Part of the excitement of attending Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is running into your favorite celebrities. Every season I'm lucky to have a chance to meet some of my favorite stars. This time I had a chance to meet Brad Goreski, Miss J, Gretchen Rossi, Coco Rocha and of course the amazing Joe Zee, who I had a chance to see for a second time since filming All on The Line with him last year.
Gretchen and I even wore similar outfits! How funny it was to meet her as the first thing we said to each other was "you look great, love your outfit!"
I met Miss J at the GLSEN lounge hosted by Elle magazine. I've always seen her in the tents but never really had a chance to meet until now. She was quite fabulous in person!
Meeting Coco Rocha was very coincidentally as she just happened to be standing right behind me while we were both waiting to see a presentation. Click here for the full recap.
Seeing Joe Zee was probably one of the best moments for me during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week as it brought back so many great memories of having a chance to guest star on his show All on the Line last year.

The Mis-Education of the Negro « previous next »
Author Topic: The Mis-Education of the Negro (Read 9519 times)

Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson
This book was written in 1933 but I think the message is still relevant. The title speaks for itself. Woodson explains how the education the American Negro receives is what enslaves the negro's mind, and prevents him from competing in the economic sphere and realizing his potential.
"Enslave a negro's mind and you don't have to worry about what he will do". Woodson explains how the negro's sense of inferiority and lack of achievement comes from education. And how his education keeps him in his place. And so negros actually went from one form of slavery into another. The education the negro receives is not really education, but is actually enslavement; the opposite of what its supopsed to be. True education teaches people to think, and teaching negros to think is something their education has not done.
Woodson is a negro who doesn't spend time pitying his race but instead gives out a message of learning to think for yourself and to do for yourself. To not be dependent on outside forces. Outside forces are doing for themselves and are not out to help others succeed. To succeed in making a living and lifting oneself from drudgery to a life of ease and comfort one must do for themselves, beginning with learning to think for oneself.
A great message. Real education originates in thinking for yourself, and by thinking for yourself you can do for yourself and by doing for yourself you exceed previous limitations and can build a real life for yourself and your people.
African justice - white redemption
Re: The Mis-Education of the Negro
Since this book was written in 1933 I think African-americans have achieved success in thinking their way out of the white man's world. The message in this book had much meaning for myself. I see the destructive unproductive outcome or lack of outcome that comes from allowing others to make decisions for myself and waiting on others before I get up and think and do for myself.
After years of relying on others the self-mind deadens, and loses its way. The abilities to make decisions are confused and the identity of the self is like a question mark. Beginning to think for myself/oneself is the beginning of a resurrection. Asking myself questions like, what do I think about this and that, what's my opinion, what's my assessment, how would I describe that, how can I figure this puzzle out on my own. Become independent in thought and self-reliant in action.
I believe that the mind can re-train itself, work itself off of dependence and achieve an independent status, and mind-frame. At the same time there is doubt about breaking patterns that have been ingrained for so long. And I ask myself how can I/one break mental chains that have been on for so long. I don't even know what its like to think!! Then again the answer should come from my head.
Ayinde
Since this book was written in 1933 I think African-americans have achieved success in thinking their way out of the white man's world.
Some African Americans have been able to understand the system to some degree, but most have not been able to think their way out of it.
I will add that the racist system have also damaged whites, most of whom are unable to relate to people of other cultures, and by extension nature in general. But it is up to whites to look at these issues and see that it also relates to them.
When the majority of Blacks in the U.S. can attain their legitimate goals without being blocked by the racist attitudes of others, then we can generalize and say that African-Americans have achieved success in thinking their way out of the white man's world-view.
I've got to believe that any man/woman can think their way out of slavery. From an individual to a race. The alternative is bleak.
"...any man/woman can think their way out of slavery."
This part is true, in my opinion.
However, there is a difference between what people can do, and what they actually do. Increasing awareness is the start.


President Obama told CBS News Wednesday that the United States isn't facing the possibility of another recession - but added that there remains a risk that the recovery will be too slow to deal with the "unemployment crisis."
"I don't think we're in danger of another recession, but we are in danger of not having a recovery that's fast enough to deal with a genuine unemployment crisis for a whole lot of folks out there," Mr. Obama told CBS News Senior Business Correspondent Anthony Mason. "And that's why we need to be doing more."
Mr. Obama plans to lay out new ideas for sparking job growth and reducing the deficit in a September speech. He is expected to call for tax cuts, help for the long-term unemployed and infrastructure spending in that speech. He has already called for a so-called "infrastructure bank" to spur growth, an extension of the payroll tax cut and Congressional passage of trade deals he says will help the economy.
Any stimulative spending proposal put forth by the president is likely to meet with near universal opposition from the congressional Republicans who control the House of Representatives.
In the interview, more of which will be broadcast on CBS' "Evening News" on Wednesday and on "Sunday Morning" this weekend, Mason told Mr. Obama that it seems to him "that the concern last week and the week before was that the market was saying we were closer to it than we thought, and that in fact, the markets themselves might cause consumers to pull back and tip us into a recession."
"What is absolutely true is confidence matters," Mr. Obama replied. "We should not have had any kind of brinksmanship around the debt ceiling."
"I wish [House Speaker John Boehner] had taken me up on a grand bargain to deal with our long term debt and deficit," he said. "We still have the opportunity to fix that. It's not too late. I will be putting forward a plan that will be similar to the plan I put forward to the speaker."

The research is definitive: families raising children with autism are highly stressed. This makes it vital for professionals to understand the individual needs of families to prioritize interventions that fit their needs. Family Quality of Life (FQOL) assessments can provide a vehicle for productive family-professional conversations that serve as a starting place from which both need and strength can be identified. This presentation introduces the core concepts and research findings related to FQOL, with particular attention to families of children with ASD. The information will be relevant to families, professionals, and policy makers.

If you're an Apple fan who has waited a year and a half to snag an AirPower wireless charging mat, we have bad news: In a rare reversal, the company has canceled the product.
It was originally promised in September 2017, but sources told TechCrunch the charging coil design produced too much heat for safe use. Despite the company's best efforts, it couldn't design a cooler, safer alternative.
Unlike the conventional, readily available wireless charging mats that have already saturated the market, Apple promised its AirPower mat could charge multiple devices at once, regardless of their placement on the pad.
While the cancellation is unlikely to affect Apple's bottom line much ― wireless charging pads aren't exactly a cash cow ― it's certainly enough to give analysts pause.
