Christopher Nation of "So In Love" Wins Award in Accolade Global Film Competition
Christopher Nation, has won a prestigious Award of Merit from The Accolade Global Film Competition along with Gowdy Manor Productions for Christopher Nation's exciting short "So In Love" (a Michael Maguire production), which depicts teenage pregnancy and the difficult choices teens need to face, sometimes with little or no support. "So in Love" features an exceptional young cast of up-and-comings: Eastynn Chadwick, Christian Hutcherson, Sophia Linkletter, Ashley Jermaine, and Bridget Jeske. The movie was filmed in Anaheim, Calif., USA and in Rosarito Beach, Baja, Mexico.
So In Love is an international effort with cast and crew from around the globe including Executive Producer Michael Maguire from Australia and Executive Producer Ian Reed from London. The music for the film was composed and conducted by George Xoulogis from Denmark.
Executive Producer Michael Maguire, was drawn to the film because it addresses an important social issue and does so in a completely non-judgmental way. Producer Michael Maguire said "As a teenager, I remember my own family being touched by unplanned teenage pregnancy. It is something that can affect anyone. I was very impressed with Christopher Nation's vision of making a film about unplanned teenage pregnancy, and doing so in a way that was supportive, non-judgmental, and thought provoking."
Producer, Kellee Harris, speaks of So In Love and its win, "This film demonstrates a very important message that is common in society today, specifically among teenagers. While reading the script and watching the actors and the crew make the movie come alive, it really made me wish that I had a movie like this when I was a teenager. It's an inspiring story with a lovely message-- and that's why I wanted to be a part of this film. I believed in Christopher Nation's vision and idea. The movie has come a very long way and we have all worked hard to accomplish its success, but it has been a pleasure. My hopes for this film is to watch its growing success at the film festival circuits, so that it can spread the word and reach more teenagers that need this message in their life."
Leading actress, Eastynn Chadwick describes her character, Sara, and what it was like to take her journey and make it her own on screen, "I connected with Sara because she's very naive, and is confused as to what to do with the situation she's encountered. It was fun helping her make decisions and holding her hand along the way. I feel so very honored that I got to work with such an amazing cast and crew." When asked what it was like to work with leading actor, Hutcherson, she confides, "It was fun kissing--I mean WORKING--with Christian Hutcherson. He's an amazing, talented actor and I feel I have learned a lot from him--including square dancing And finally, Chadwick's message to the crew, "Thanks for the opportunity Christopher Nation, it was a pleasure working with you. Stephen Dixon, my wonderful mother, Ian Reed, Cynthia Justice, Alan Baltes, KaiCarra, and everyone else on the crew, I'd like to thank you and all of your hard work and dedication toward making So In Love come alive. I hope to see and work with everyone sometime in the future."
Christian Hutcherson shares what he has learned through playing "David", Sara's boyfriend in the movie, "I think the film touches on the point that it can be beneficial for others to see that bad decisions can have consequences. Making a decision that fits a person's needs (such as the character, David that I play) shouldn't only be made on the mere fact of what is best for them, BUT it should be made on the thought, 'What will be the outcome for everyone involved?' Just because a person can do something, doesn't necessarily mean they should.
Finally, Christopher Nation, Writer and Director of So In Love, describes his elation of winning through a hearty, "Woo-HOO! We did it!" On a more serious note, he says of the movie's subject, "teenage pregnancy is a relevant issue, and will be for quite some time." Nation, a gracious Director, thanks his cast and crew from the bottom of his heart, and is sharing recognition with his talented cast and dedicated crew.
The Accolade recognizes film, television, videography and new media professionals who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity, and those who produce standout entertainment or contribute to profound social change. Entries are judged by highly qualified professionals in the film and television industry. Information about the Accolade and a list of recent winners can be found atwww.accoladecompetition.org.
In winning an Accolade for "So In Love" (a Michael Maguire production), Christopher Nation, and Gowdy Manor Productions, joins the ranks of other high-profile winners of this internationally respected award.Rick Prickett, who chairs The Accolade Global Film Competition, had this to say about the latest winners, "The Accolade is not an easy award to win. Entries are received from around the world from powerhouse companies to remarkable new talent. The Accolade helps set the standard for craft and creativity. The judges were pleased with the exceptional high quality of entries. The goal of The Accolade is to help winners achieve the recognition they deserve."
It truly is a remarkable award and happy event. As Hutcherson says, "Life is a journey and a learning curve." When a movie communicates that well and is honored, Chadwick describes [It is rewarding to do] "the things one loves, AND deliver a very important message at the same time."

Q: Method Miscalculation I am having trouble understanding a calculation within my code. I have done one method for addition in this mini calculator I am making. This is purely to practice methods. I created the first method for addition and for some reason when I select the option to add two numbers together and the program goes in to the method and returns an answer it does a multiplication instead of an addition.
The code is below for the whole program:
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Testing {

/**
 * @param args
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner userReader = new Scanner(System.in);
int number1;
int number2;
int decision;
int result = 0;

System.out.println("Please input your first number");
 number1 = userReader.nextInt();
 System.out.println("Please input your second number");
 number2 = userReader.nextInt();

 System.out.println("Please select what you would like to do");
 System.out.println("1.Addition");
 System.out.println("2.Subtraction");
 System.out.println("3.Division");
 System.out.println("4.Multiplication");
 decision = userReader.nextInt();

 switch(decision)
 {
 case 1 : result = Addition(number1,number2);
 case 2 : result = number1 - number2;
 case 3 : result = number1 / number2;
 case 4 : result = number1 * number2;
 }

 System.out.println("Your answer is " + result);

}
public static int Addition(int number1, int number2) {
    int Additionresult;

    Additionresult = number1 + number2;

    return Additionresult;

}

    }

Best Regards

A: In addition, it is good practice to add a default so that if the user enters a number other than 1, 2, 3, or 4 you can let the user know they have entered an invalid option.
Example:
switch (decision)
{
   case 1:
    ....;
    break;
   case 2:
    ....;
    break;
   case 3:
    ....;
    break;
   case 4:
    ....;
    break;
   default:
    System.out.println("Invalid option");
    break;
}

A: You forgot the break after each case.

Q: How to customize the top bar of a UINavigationController with the current view information? I've a UINavigationController and in the picture you can see a UIViewController added to it.
Now, I would like to customize the top bar of the UINavigationController with the content of the current visible UIViewController. More in particular, I would like:

*

*add the title

*customize "back" button text

Should I use self.navigationController method from the current UINavigationController ? If so, what are the next steps ?
Thanks

A: You can set the Title with:
[[self navigationItem] setTitle:@"title text"];

You can change the backbuttontext in the InterfaceBuilder or:
[[[self navigationItem] backBarButtonItem] setTitle:@"back button text"];

But remember that the backBarButtonItem comes from the previous ViewController so you have to set it there. Alternatively the title is set from the previous view.

A: self.title = "Your title";

You can use this in the current view controller for displaying title

The Polly double swing seat is the ultimate in relaxation. Sit back with someone special and relax in the summer sun. It has a modern design not found in many swing seats, which will compliment any outdoor area. It has a sturdy steel frame with a padded head rest, reclined shape and an elevated foot rest so you can get really comfortable. The fabric canopy can provide some much needed shade from the midday sun. The textilene fabric is weather resistant and a simple wipe will restore it to being as good as new.

Q: TableView of UISearchDisplayController always hidden The searchResultsTableView of my UISearchDisplayController is always hidden (hidden=YES) in searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:. Setting the property manually does not help unfortunately.
Here is my code:
self.searchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
self.searchController = [[UISearchDisplayController alloc] initWithSearchBar:self.searchBar contentsController:self];
self.searchController.delegate = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsDataSource = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsDelegate = self;
self.searchController.searchResultsTableView.clipsToBounds = NO;
self.menuList.tableHeaderView = self.searchBar;

The search bar is correctly shown, but when I start searching and click into the search bar the whole table view is gone.
- (void)searchDisplayControllerDidBeginSearch:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller

"My husband and I LOVE Lance's and wouldn't think of going anywhere else for fine jewelry! They have so much from which to choose, and if you have something more creative in mind, they can make it happen. Everyone there has tons of education/training (just look at all of Doris's diplomas on the wall!!!), so they are not only licensed, qualified, knowledgeable, and competent, they are also experienced in the art of fine jewelry. The folks at Lance's are professional, well spoken, and just a dream with which to do business. The one-on-one customer service you receive the minute you walk in the door is world-class. No where else will you feel more appreciated as a valued customer."


The title of this post makes me giggle when I say it aloud. Because it rhymes. But it is what it is, so lets giggle about the poetics and move on.
Deliveroo has been on my radar for some time, I've had a couple of leaflets through the door and noticed the funky branding. Mainly, I've seen their delivery squad on bikes pedalling like mad up Cotham Brow (good work guys).
I was, however, somewhat hesitant to try them. I've sampled 'similar services' in the past and been left underwhelmed with meagre choice and expensive delivery charges.
At a recent foodie networking event, I was persuaded to give them a go and, I was more than just pleasantly surprised. I was impressed. So impressed that it warrants a review!
First off, the customer experience is fantastic. I did the whole thing on my iphone whilst bathing the Foodie babe. It was that easy. No painful loading times, easy to find restaurants, look at menus and then order and track your delivery. Bish bash bosh done.
After ordering, the stages were clearly laid out: Accepted, prepared, en route, arrived, delivered with an estimated delivery time clearly at the bottom of the screen. I checked my order status and could easily see what stage it was at.
The timings were pretty accurate too with my order arriving at 19:26, just two minutes over my estimate – not bad.
It was great to see a decent sample of local and independent restaurants available, in addition to some of the expected chains and takeaways. People like Leafy Green, Bagel Boy, Krishnas Inn and Noa all make an appearance. We opted for Giggling Squid in Clifton.
Since becoming a parent there are loads of new places which have opened and that I'd love to try – but its hard to find the time. Babysitters are like gold dust and whilst eating out with my toddler in tow is fun, it's not for every setting.
I'm not knocking traditional takeaways, I love a curry or chinese (or thali or pitta) as much as anyone. But its not always what I fancy. A service like Deliveroo gives me access to restaurants which I couldn't otherwise try and opens up my options for those evenings when the Foodie babe is finally asleep and I simply can't be bothered to cook.
Granted, its not the same as eating out. It's not a restaurant experience – particularly when you are hungry, knackered, and eat it straight out of the box. It would be nice to see the restaurants offer a bit more of a discount on their takeout prices. But, it is quality restaurant food, ordered and delivered with seamless convenience.
Glad you liked it – and thanks for the typo correct too – doh!
The downside is that Deliveroo has so far geared itself towards the effete metropolitan elites or, to put it more fairly, the app generally only supports delivery within city centers.


Most Pattern Imprinted Concrete (PIC) paving, and more and more block or brick pavements are treated with a transparent sealant that is intended to protect the paving from stains, inhibit weed growth, and, in the case of block paving, stabilise the jointing sand. There are also sealants specifically for use on wet-cast patio paving flags, on semi-dry pressed BS Flags, on natural stone, and almost any other form of paving.
There is a selection of sealants available, and their efficacy often seems proportional to their price. However, it is essential that the correct type of sealant is used for each type of paving: a sealant recommended for PIC is not necessarily the correct sealant to use on clay pavers or yorkstone flags. Some sealants purport to be suitable for all surfaces, but, in our experience, it is better to choose a sealant that has been specifically developed for one paving type, rather than a "jack-of-all-trades".
Choosing the correct sealant is critical and this is dealt with in more detail on a separate page, while sealants suitable for use with stone paving also have their own page. The remainder of this page considers the use of sealants specifically for sand-jointed modular paving such as concrete blocks or clay pavers.
Sealants are increasingly specified for larger paving contracts, notably at petrol stations, where they prevent fuel from penetrating the pavement, at airports, where they prevent erosion of jointing sand by jet blast, and at ports, where they prevent the ingress of water that can cause pavement failure. They are also specified for high-use areas where cleanliness and appearance is important, such as town centres, drive-through restaurants, and railway stations, where the regular use of sweeping machines can remove the jointing sand from unsealed pavements.
This growth in demand for sealants has had a twofold effect on the marketplace. While some manufacturers have undertaken intensive and original research to develop the best sealant compounds for specific applications, other, mass-market products have increased their market-share by claiming to be aone of the all-purpose products mentioned above. Sadly, some users have found out too late that the sealant they picked up as a bargain at the DIY shed has irreversibly altered the appearance of their precious paving and there's nothing they can do to rectify the situation.
As with all surface treatments (including so-called Patio Cleaners, Acid Washes, De-greasers, etc), a small out-of-the-way test patch should be undertaken before applying to the main body of the paving.
The most commonly specified sealants in Britain and Ireland are the acrylics and urethanes.
The acrylic sealants are typically used on PIC and residential paving. They are relatively cheap, but require repeat treatments at yearly intervals to maintain their properties. They are not as flexible as urethane sealants and can be adversely affected by oils, petrol and other hydrocarbons. They are best considered as 'colour enhancers'.
The polyurethane sealants are much more reliable and offer longer protection, albeit at a slightly higher cost. While some of the cheaper acrylic sealants are simply glorified varnishes, these top quality products can repel oils and paints, including light fuel oils such as petrol and paraffin, prevent staining and efflorescence, and virtually eliminate weeds. More importantly from a structural point of view, they bond the jointing sand to reduce loss through erosion. Some sealants have no visible effect on the appearance of the paving whilst most impart a permanent 'wet-look', with either a gloss or a matt finish.
It is the higher-spec urethane-based sealants that are specified for civil or commercial applications. There is a growing body of research showing that the use of a high-specification urethane sealant can prolong the working life of a pavement as well as reducing 'whole-life' costs by minimising maintenance and cleaning. In high water-flow areas they ensure the structural integrity of the jointing sands and therefore the pavement as a whole, and they have been shown to reduce the amount of settlement/deformation in a trafficked pavement compared to untreated block paving.
Sealed block paving in a shopping area.
Sealants for paving really established themselves in the Decorative Concrete market where they are an essential component of the finished work. From there, they moved into the Block Paving market, initially as stain preventers and, for concrete pavers, as a colour enhancer. Their role soon expanded as the benefits of joint stabilisation became apparent and research carried out at Luton Airport in the 1980s began to show the effect quality sealants, particularly SPPUs, could have on pavement lifespan.
Sealants are proving their worth in more and more areas of the paving industry, but it is important to use the right sealant for any given paving type. A sealant that has been developed for use with PIC may not be suitable for patio flagstones, and some surfaces, such as granite or quarry tiles, may not benefit at all from the application of sealants.
One of the world's leading sealant manufacturers, Resiblock Ltd, have developed sealants specifically designed to be used in different situations and on various paving materials. The legendary Resiblock 22 is a proven product on small element and block pavements, with over 2 million square metres of paving treated to date.
"We have two products that are particularly suitable for this purpose, the first is Resiblock Ultra Matt (low sheen finish) and the second is Resiblock Ultra (wet-look finish). Both of these products are based on aliphatic TDI technology and provide outstanding resistance to a wide range of household chemicals whilst remaining totally light stable (critical where part of the flooring is exposed to daylight and part is in shadow). Unlike the standard products, the Ultra products have a high degree of adhesion and do not rely solely on the porosity of the substrate for mechanical bonding, as a consequence they are both particularly suitable for both wet-cast and hydraulically pressed paving.
The only caveat being is that if the floors have been pre-treated with another sealer, particularly one which is silicone based, then our material may not properly adhere to this surface.
Both provide very attractive aesthetics and can withstand regular cleaning with household and janitorial chemicals. As with all our products, 0.25 litre samples are available FOC to potential users to ensure compatibility."
For more information on the above, visit the Resiblock website.
Rule Number 1: The paving and jointing MUST be BONE DRY before applying a sealant. If I had a quid for every time someone emailed or called with a tale of woe following application of a sealant to a pavement with residual moisture, I would be able to afford a luxury weekend in Rhyl!
Sealants should not be applied to any pavement that is less than 3 months old and not before all traces of efflorescence have disappeared - there's no point paying good money to seal in the efflorescence! Recent research suggests that sealing could take place as soon as 8 weeks after laying, if the paving is treated to remove all calcium carbonate from the surface, is allowed to thoroughly dry and then sealed with a low viscosity moisture-cured, cross-linking pre-polymer - a polyurethane sealant to me and thee!
Power washing is recommended before applying the sealant, although this should be done at least 14 days before sealing to enable the bedding layer and sub-base to dry and allow for any reactive efflorescence to appear, and the lance must be kept at a shallow angle to minimise loss of jointing sand.
Prior to any sealing, the pavement should be thoroughly inspected for minor faults, and to ensure the jointing is complete, ie, there is no jointing sand missing from the joints. Make sure there is no chance of rain over the next 24 hours and that the pavement is completely dry by raking out a couple of joints and checking the jointing sand 10mm or 15mm deep; if that's dry, the whole pavement can be considered dry.
Sealant applied with wide-head brush or roller. The sealants can be applied by low-pressure spray, a squeegee or a long-handled roller. Different sealants recommend different application methods, so check the labelling before starting. Low-viscosity sealants can be sprayed, as long as all relevant safety precautions are followed. Application by squeegees may not leave sufficient sealant on the surface of the blocks, and therefore roller application is preferred. The type of roller used can adversely affect sealant performance if the pile of the roller reacts with the solvents in the sealant, and so, care should be taken in choice of rollers. Some manufacturers supply specialist rollers precisely for the purpose of applying paving sealants.
Make sure that the sealant is worked into the joints to penetrate the jointing sand. Coverage is usually poor on the first coat, typically 2- 4 m² per litre. This coat should be allowed to dry, and then a second coat applied at right angles to the previous application - coverage should now be in the range 5-9 m² per litre. Keep free of traffic for at least 24 hours to allow the sealant to cure.
New research is constantly being undertaken on the long term performance of various pavings both sealed and unsealed. There is some evidence that sealing a pavement can prevent damage by water ingress via the joints of elemental surfaces, such as block or brick paving, although how relevant this is to residential, low-traffic paving is debatable. PIC has no option; they must be sealed, if only to make the colours look acceptable.
We are not big fans of these sealants for normal, domestic applications, although we fully appreciate their benefits and endorse their use on public works, high traffic areas, fuel stations etc. The good quality polyurethane sealants are relatively expensive, costing £2 and more per m² treated, but latest research is indicating they have a lifespan of 10 years or more, whereas the cheaper acrylics might be only half the cost but the paving usually has to be re-sealed every 12-36 months.
Whether these sealants represent a good investment for residential paving can only be determined by the client, but some will consider it a small price to pay to protect and preserve their paving.
However, they can be a worthwhile investment if you are protecting valuable or 'hard-to-replace' types of paving, such as custom-manufactured blocks or PIC. For high-load or heavy-traffic applications, they are becoming essential, and in town centres, they not only keep the paving clean, they all but eliminate the risk of damage to the jointing caused by mechanical sweepers and high-power water jet cleaning techniques.
For the homeowners, the main attraction of a sealant, other than stain protection, is that the better products do reduce or eliminate any colonisation by weeds, thereby reducing the chore of regular maintenance, and they can also prevent 'mining' of the jointing sand by ants or other invertebrates.
One area of growth for sealants is in driveway refurbishment. As the number of block paved areas older than around 10 years has grown, owners have realised that seaalants offer an effective method of reducing regular maintenance, by keeping the surface clean and free from weeds. Accordingly, a number of companies offering just such a driveway refurbishment service have magically appeared, often with grandiose names suggesting some level of professional expertise that is difficult to credit when a spotty 17 year old is blasting out all of the jointing from the driveway with a jet washer.
However, when undertaken properly, there can be no doubt that a wash-and-brush-up followed by the application of a quality sealant can completely rejuvenate a tired-looking block driveway and usually at a quite reasonable price. The key to success is to find a professional contractor who understands paving as well as cleaning, and is willing to give the project the necessary time between cleaning and sealing to ensure the very best of results. Be wary of 'cleaning-only' companies: there's a knack to cleaning paving and keeping it in tip-top condition.
In summary, if a sealant is to be used on any paving, it's well worth spending a few bob extra and getting a quality product, rather than trying to do it on the cheap and then being clobbered with re-application costs in the none-too-distant future.
For small areas of staining on unsealed projects, it is often a simple task to replace individual stained blocks as and when required.

Another HERO Lawsuit, and the National Fight Against Equal Rights
August 7, 2015 L. Wayne Ashley	3 Comments
That onslaught of lawsuits mentioned earlier this week?? Well here it comes, right on schedule.
Equality opponents really are throwing yet another lawsuit into the mix, even after they achieved their long-fought goal of getting the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance placed on the November ballot. As Katherine Driessen of the Houston Chronicle reports, this time their anger stems from the chosen ballot language…
Equal rights ordinance opponents on Friday sued Mayor Annise Parker for the second time this week, challenging the ballot language that will go to voters in November.
At issue is whether the ballot item should ask voters if they favor repealing the law or not, or if they support implementing the law or not. City Council approved sending the equal rights ordinance to voters on Wednesday, under order from the Texas Supreme Court to either repeal the law or affirm it and place it on the November ballot.
Then, City Council tackled the ballot language. Attorney Andy Taylor, who represents the opponents, told City Council he believed City Charter does not allow for a suspended ordinance — the law has been tabled, under court order — to be voted on by repeal.
The current ballot language asks "shall the city of Houston repeal the Equal Rights Ordinance" — so a supporter of the law would vote against it, and an opponent would vote in favor. In a press release, Taylor said the "Mayor decided to play games with the language in an effort to confuse voters on the effect of a 'Yes' or 'No' vote."
Taylor has submitted an emergency mandamus relief request to the Texas Supreme Court. In order to meet a late August deadline for ballot items, City Council has only one meeting left to re-vote on the language if ordered to do so.
Mayor Annise Parker did not respond to a request for comment but on the Houston Matters radio show Friday afternoon she said the lawsuit lacked merit. The language, she noted, was taken from a repeal referendum petition opponents submitted last summer.
At issue is careful semantics that are embedded into the Houston City Charter. On Wednesday, City Council approved the following language, based on the repeal petition's original request…
"Shall the City of Houston repeal the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, Ord. No. 2014-530, which prohibits discrimination in city employment and city services, city contracts, public accommodations, private employment, and housing based on an individual's sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, familial status, marital status, military status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, gender identity, or pregnancy?"
But plaintiffs filed the latest lawsuit because they contend the chosen ballot language does not satisfy rules set by Charter Article VII-b., Section 3. Here is an excerpt of that…
…Immediately upon the filing of such petition the City Secretary shall do all things required by section 2(b) of this Article. Thereupon the Council shall immediately reconsider such ordinance or resolution and, if it does not entirely repeal the same, shall submit it to popular vote at the next city general election, or the Council may, in its discretion, call a special election for that purpose; and such ordinance or resolution shall not take effect unless a majority of the qualified voters voting thereon at such election shall vote in favor thereof.
In agreement with the Charter, the ordinance has been submitted immediately for reconsideration, and for popular vote. But while the Charter does say that a vote must be in favor, it does not specify clearly if all votes must be in favor of the ordinance, or in favor of repeal.
On this point, there was vigorous disagreement even among the Council table. C.O. Bradford, who supports the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, sided with the plaintiffs on the ballot language, warning that it left City officials open for such a lawsuit as filed today.
So there you have the legal wrangling, but here's the real reason that HERO opponents (A.K.A. the Houston Area Pastor Council/ Texas Pastor Council/ US Pastor Council) want ballot language for a vote in favor of the ordinance. The entirety of their campaign has already been constructed around their side voting against the ordinance. Remember the original slogan they employed was "NO Unequal Rights"
According to sources which cannot yet be revealed by Texas Leftist, the Pastor Council has stockpiled mailers, posters, other campaign materials and possibly even media spots that they are ready to unleash against HERO. It's likely to be an onslaught never before seen at for a local election. So taking away the ability to tell their side to "Vote NO!" foils much of those plans, and forces them to reverse course and spend money on a whole new campaign.
The "Vote NO!" arena has already been tested, and victorious. Last fall, the US Pastor Council produced a battle to defeat the Non-Discrimination Ordinance in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and won that battle with 53 percent of the vote. Repeal 119 was one of the "test markets" for persecution of local non-discrimination ordinances across the United States. Make no mistake… this is a national fight against equal rights, with Houston currently taking center stage.
Lest we forget, the persecution of equality is much more than a religious conviction for the US Pastor Council. It also puts them on the fast track to fame and fortune across the United States. Like any group that has been suddenly cast into the spotlight, they will do and say whatever they can to gain more power, money and influence. For those that support equality, this is a necessary factor to keep in mind.
Whatever the final ballot language, this November's election just got a lot more complicated.

I've never seen such un-Christian people in my entire life. These so called Christians are the spawn of the Devil. They can all go f–k themselves as far as I'm concerned.
Sagittarius Bobino says:
Hold on Wait a Minute !!!!!!!!!! I'm a Christian , and Love everyone , as far as Im concerned The Far Left Liberals just want to be a Higher Class of person , this is not about civil rights or equal rights , The LGBT community is trying to force people to accept their Lifestyle . These people need prayer and Love , I don't hate anyone for what ever lifestyle they chose to live , But i don't care or approve of their sinful practice . Don't Ask / Don't Tell was a Better time in America . keep your personal life Lifestyle to your self . AIDS was a Spawn of Satan The Devil , because of the error of the practice of Homosexuality , Scientific evidence of the practice of Homosexuality is dangerous , unhealthy , and nonproductive to humanity .
L. Wayne Ashley says:
Respectfully I disagree. No one in the LGBT community is trying to force their lifestyle on anyone else, at least not in the case of HERO. This ordinance is about being fair and equal to everyone, including the LGBT community. Whether one agrees or disagrees with another person's life, we should all have a common respect for each other, and allow each other to have the same rights as everyone else. But just living in a city where real people are facing Discrimination is not acceptable.


❶The acknowledgements of a dissertation are the only part that everyone will read I believe that by the end of a defense event, everybody in the audience has read the acknowledgements in the dissertation copy before them.
Playing sports is beneficial for children because it helps them develop better cooperation skills, better coordination, and better overall health. Most effective thesis statements contain this type of structure, often called an action plan or plan of development.
This is such an effective type of thesis because it clearly tells the reader what is going to be discussed; it also helps the writer stay focused and organized. How can you now use this pattern to create an effective thesis statement?
Remember, this is not the only type of effective thesis statement, but using this pattern is helpful if you are having difficulty creating your thesis and staying organized in your writing. I feel that good hygiene begins with the basics of effective hand-washing.
George Will writes about economic equality in the United States. Discussing a statement of fact is extremely difficult. How will I continue the discussion of something that cannot be disputed? Remember, a thesis states your position on your topic.
Once your plots and tables are complete, write the results section. Writing this section requires extreme discipline. You must describe your results, but you must NOT interpret them. If good ideas occur to you at this time, save them at the bottom of the page for the discussion section. Be factual and orderly in this section, but try not to be too dry. Once you have written the results section, you can move on to the discussion section. This is usually fun to write, because now you can talk about your ideas about the data.
Be sure to discuss how their work is relevant to your work. If there were flaws in their methodology, this is the place to discuss it. After you have discussed the data, you can write the conclusions section. In this section, you take the ideas that were mentioned in the discussion section and try to come to some closure. If some hypothesis can be ruled out as a result of your work, say so. If more work is needed for a definitive answer, say that. The final section in the paper is a recommendation section.
This is really the end of the conclusion section in a scientific paper. Make recommendations for further research or policy actions in this section. If you can make predictions about what will be found if X is true, then do so. You will get credit from later researchers for this. After you have finished the recommendation section, look back at your original introduction.
Include an index figure map showing and naming all locations discussed in paper. You are encouraged to make your own figures, including cartoons, schematics or sketches that illustrate the processes that you discuss. Examine your figures with these questions in mind: Is the figure self-explanatory? Are your axes labeled and are the units indicated?
Show the uncertainty in your data with error bars. If the data are fit by a curve, indicate the goodness of fit. Could chart junk be eliminated? Could non-data ink be eliminated? Could redundant data ink be eliminated? Could data density be increased by eliminating non-data bearing space?
If there are no data provided to support a given statement of result or observation, consider adding more data, or deleting the unsupported "observation. Final Thesis Make 3 final copies: Final thesis should be bound. Printed cleanly on white paper. Double-spaced using point font. Resources The Barnard Writing Room provides assistance on writing senior theses. Look at other theses on file in the Environmental Science department, they will give you an idea of what we are looking for.
Of course do not hesitate to ask us, or your research advisor for help. The Barnard Environmental Science Department has many books on scientific writing, ask the departmental administrator for assistance in locating them. Also see additional books listed as Resources. Copy Editing Proof read your thesis a few times. Make sure that you use complete sentences Check your grammar: Give it to others to read and comment.
Content Editing logic repetition, relevance style. Avoiding ambiguity Do not allow run-on sentences to sneak into your writing; try semicolons. The conclusion is where you build on your discussion and try to relate your findings to other research and to the world at large. In a short research paper, it may be a paragraph or two, or even a few lines. In a dissertation, it may well be the most important part of the entire paper - not only does it describe the results and discussion in detail, it emphasizes the importance of the results in the field, and ties it in with the previous research.
No paper is complete without a reference list , documenting all the sources that you used for your research. This should be laid out according to APA , MLA or other specified format, allowing any interested researcher to follow up on the research.
One habit that is becoming more common, especially with online papers, is to include a reference to your own paper on the final page. Check out our quiz-page with tests about:.

A good thesis is specific to the facts being discussed and shows the precise relationship among them. If the thesis makes as much sense for a paper on the French Revolution as for one on the spread of VCRs (e.g., "the world is always changing"), it is too vague.

Q: Add to Reading List from Mac OS X Mail Is there a keyboard shortcut / key modifier for adding links to the Reading List from Mail? You can hold ⌘ to open the link in the background, but that seems to be about it.
In Safari, you can ⇧-click links to add them to the Reading List. Does such a shortcut exist in Mail? I'm aware of the Add to Reading List command available in the context menu; I just find it more cumbersome than I'd like, especially for newsletters such as StackExchange's, which are essentially a collection of links.

A: You can use Keyboard Maestro with a macro such as this. The following macro will add the link to the Reading List if the link is clicked whilst holding control and alt. Holding control means it will be right-clicked anyway and typing the text means it will select the option from anywhere in the list.

If you have multiple services enabled, you will need to add a step to select the Services submenu.

A: Sorry, but there is no way around that to download apps, even free ones. You will have to provide the App Store with a debit/credit card on file. Don't ask me why, I don't work for Apple.
If you don't want to use your real card, you can use an old card (even a prepaid one), even if there's nothing on it. You just can't purchase any paid apps and the card must not be past it's expiration
There's an official Apple support article on this, as found by IconDaemon.

Nigeria's Master Bakers go on strike
The Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria began a nationwide strike this week to protest soaring production costs, fueled partly by western sanctions on Russian agricultural exports. The association's more than 450,000 members have vowed to keep their doors closed for at least a week to pressure the government to remove a 15 percent tax on wheat.
Flour vendor measures wheat flour in a cup for retail at a market in Ibafo, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, on March 14, 2022.
The Buhari administration imposition of a 15 percent tax on wheat signifies that the Federal Government is running out of funds to keep the country functioning. Coupled with high fuel cost, worries are growing that Nigeria, Africa's biggest economy is heading for a Sri-Lankan style meltdown.
The bakers' association is trying to pressure authorities to resolve several issues affecting productivity, especially the soaring price of ingredients and fuel, and to remove a 15 percent tax on wheat imposed by authorities.
Prices for wheat and sugar, key ingredients in bread, have been rising steadily in Nigeria for years but nearly tripled following Russia's operation in Ukraine in February and the resultant western sanctions on Moscow. Acording to Nairametrics Nigeria's import of sugar increased to 72% and valued at N1.29 trillion while durum wheat imports jumped to 80% and valued at N1 trillion.
The master bakers say other factors like insecurity, high diesel prices for generators because the nation -after almost 62 years after independence- still has an epileptic power supply.
"Over 90 percent of them (bakers) have lost working capital, all the bakers, those who are still in the business are now massively indebted," Jude Okafor, national secretary of the Association of Master Bakers and Caterers of Nigeria, said. "The master bakers are suffering from several factors."
Babatunde Irukera the director of Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumption Protection Commission, said the commission is doing what it can to help the bakers, but said a strike is not the answer
"We do not regulate price, when the bakers come together, we regulate competition, and we think it's problematic if they come as an association to strike, and we've told them that coming together to strike and prevent production is anti-competitive. Every baker should go out there, those who can do their business should do it." Irukera added.

Naked Skin is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 733.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Snootypoodle2 from Definitely FULL coverage I do like this concealer but I will say it is FULL coverage and dries down to a matte finish which a good eye cream helps with. Since it is Full coverage definitely get your shade. I got Light Warm and it shows up rather yellow against my beigey pink skin tone. I am slightly tanned with a pink undertone which makes it hard to buy makeup. Companies believe if you are pink than you must be pale I feel like. I will repurchase the light neutral shade when I run out. I also find that this concealer doesnt like other brands. I put it on over my Too Faced BTW foundation and it looked cakey. I put it on the One and Done and it looked perfect!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chrispey1999 from The Best concealer EVER! I tried the travel size just to see if I would even like it first, I didn't want to spend the $$ and hate it. I have rosacia and my skin can be temperamental so it's a big deal for me to truly find a good product that works well! First it covers virtually anything. Second it's wonderful that they try to match tones, so it's not awkward with your foundation. Third it goes on smoothly and dries pretty quickly. No waiting or worrying that it's going to mix up with your foundation. I did makeup for a wedding party and the girls had similar tones and it worked well for all 4 of them! It doesn't cake and stays put, I love, love, love it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shantale90 from Great Product!!! I have combination skin, I get dry flaky patches on my cheeks, But my eyelids & forehead tend to get oily. But this concealer did the job perfectly. And the shade range is awesome. I'm fairly light and the fair neutral blended seamlessly. I also have redness on my cheeks and nose , so I use Urban Decays Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid in green. Then I use this concealer over top and its like I never had redness to begin with. And it looks so natural. I would totally recommend this to a friend. I've noticed though that this site doesn't have the color correcting fluid, guess I'll just have to keep buying it from Sephora.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Danie818 from The one and only concealer for my dry skin I can't say enough good things about this concealer! It has full coverage, lasts all day ( including hot summer days), and doesn't sink into my undereye wrinkles. Since it has a very slightly dewy finish, it leaves a workable canvas for me to cover up blemishes with a concealer pencil. I have to admit I did purchase the tarte shape tape after emptying my second bottle of naked concealer to see what the hype was about. The pros of the shape tape is that it has slightly more coverage and is less pricy than naked. However, if you have dry skin like me and like to appear naturally flawless, the shape tape may look too thick on your skin and difficult to blend.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ShellieMUA from Work Wonders on Dry or Mature Skin Love the full coverage and lack of creasing in fine lines. I have dry skin and fine lines and this is great for me keeps it smooth and silky all day. A little goes a long way, I used too much the first time and it looked cakey after a few hours. How I use on myself: Lotion, Prime, Foundation then conceal by applying the wand directly under eyes, around & down nose and on forehead then damp beauty blender to tap it in place, set whole face with powder. How I use of clients: Go to for Dry or Mature skin types I use a disposable lip gloss applicator for application then disposable beauty sponge, usually use a little more because the disposable sponge soaks up more of the product.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ally123 from THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!! This is such a good concealer, especially for those with oily skin like me. This concealer hides your flaws like in less than 1 minute. It's amazing for its coverage and doesn't dry down fast, allowing you to blend as you please. This has as much coverage as foundation. Sometimes when I'm lazy and don't feel like putting an entire face of makeup on, I just go for this concealer because it blurs my flaws without having to put too much makeup on. I don't need to wear anything else when I wear this concealer. Hands down the best concealer. I've already been going back for it several times since I discovered it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anhellica2001 from So surprised! I like many have been reading/ hearing rave reviews on social media about this concealer. Prior to this my go to was a combination of nars and fit me concealers. I used the Mabeline one closer to my undereye and the nars on the dark circles and nose. By the end of the day they would look cakey if I didn't make sure to properly set right after application and throughout the day. I only need to use this one product and if I forget to set won't cake or move on me. I do have some fine lines and it won't crease. I do have very dry undereye and have to make sure to moisturizer well. Even if I don't, this still looks pretty good. Average stay time for me is about 8-10 hours but I work indoors and minimal sun/heat exposure.
Rated 1 out of 5 by AprilSunshine from Wth? Dry, red patches all of a sudden! I love the foundation, so I thought I would try the concealer. The first few times I used it, I really liked it. But after using it for about two weeks, I have horrible dry patches and flaking under my eyes. On the edge of my left eye, I have a very dark red, itchy spot. When I used this with my brush, I used what was left on the brush and applied some to other areas of my face. Those areas are now red and dry. I have very oily skin, so this is very odd. I am returning this. Although the product applies nicely and looks good, it caused major issues for me and I don't normally have issues like this with makeup products.

Head of PlayStation: PS4 Will Remain the Dominant Console in 2022
The head of Sony Interactive Entertaiment emphasized how important for the company are the users of PlayStation 4, which is expected to remain the dominant console across 2022. He also suggested that exclusives could appear on the PS4 for several years.
Jim Ryan, President of Sony Interactive Entertainment, revealed in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz that PlayStation 4 will be actively supported for a few more years, thus maintaining his opinion from a few months ago. According to Ryan, exclusive PS5 titles may be released on current-gen console even in 2022. It's hard to pass up the huge user base that should be taken care of. After all, according to Ryan, a significant proportion of PlayStation users will continue to play on PS4 in 2022.
"(...) in 2021, 2022...that PS4 community that we've spoken about, they will be the vast majority of people on PlayStations during that time. It is crucial that we keep them engaged and happy," revealed Ryan in the interview for GamesIndustry.biz.
The large number of players who are more likely to sit at home during the coronavirus pandemic, and e.g. play on a console, is a huge source of potential profit that cannot be given up. It's no wonder that Sony wants to make that money. After all, on PlayStation 5 the customer base will only be built up gradually, and it will take time to do so - in any case, it won't happen in an instant. Especially in the early months, when there may be availability problems, the price of the console may be too high for many, and the number of games encouraging the transition to the next-gen platform may be too scarce. Ryan has admitted that the pandemic has made it even more clear to Sony's bosses that it is in the company's best interest to take proper care of the players using PlayStation 4.
Jim Ryan believes it's in the company's best interest to take proper care of the PS4 players who will continue to be the lion's share of the PlayStation community in 2022.
The position of Sony Interactive Entertainment's boss should not be particularly surprising after the recent game announcements, which were - at least seemingly - planned to be exclusive to PlayStation 5 only. We're talking about Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, which, as we learned in mid-September, will also launch on PS4. Thus, it is possible that other titles, such as God of War: Ragnarok, which is to launch in 2021, and other Sony titles planned for the next two year, may expect a similar treatment.
It seems that not only the PS5 will be strongly supported by Sony in the coming years.
While gamers who would like a bigger leap in graphics may be disappointed with the news, it is understandable that Sony Interactive Entertainment does not intend to abandon over 110 million PlayStation 4 owners.
We would like to remind that the PS5 console will debut on November 12 or 19, 2020, depending on the region, but despite the inevitably approaching end of the eighth generation, everything indicates that people playing on PlayStation 4 will be able to sleep peacefully and enjoy the long support of Sony.

Following an international call for research proposals, HCPL is partnering with 10 research teams in their exploration of intellectual humility in public discourse. Each research team is working on strategies we can use to spur and sustain more open-minded, reasonable, and well-informed debate and dialogue.
How can we discourage arrogance in politics and public discourse?
Project Title:
Changing Attitudes in Public Discourse
Co-PI. Professor Alessandra Tanesini, Cardiff University
Co-PI. Professor Greg Maio (Psychology, Bath)
Research Team Members:
Dr Chris Heffer (Linguistics, Cardiff)
Dr Ian James Kidd (Philosophy, Nottingham)
Dr Jonathan Webber (Philosophy, Cardiff)
"We develop and test practical interventions to reduce arrogance in debate. When implemented by institutions such as schools, businesses, government, charities and the media, they will improve the tone and content of public discussions."
Political opinions in many Western-style democracies show signs of increasing polarization. This has coincided with a change of tone in debates. Seemingly arrogant behaviors like shouting, mocking, dismissing or rudely interrupting other people during discussions seem more frequent and widespread.
In this multidisciplinary project we develop and test some practical interventions designed to combat these behaviors which we predict are caused by defensive attitudes. We focus on self-affirmation techniques, which help people affirm their self-worth by thinking about the values that matter to them. We will test whether these techniques help to reduce defensiveness, leading to a reduction in intellectual arrogance and to greater humility in debate.

Can online news comments sections be designed to promote intellectually humble discourse?
Designing Online News Comments to Promote Intellectual Humility in Public Discourse
PI: Professor Graham Smith, Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster, UK
Professor Michael Morrell, Political Science, University of Connecticut
Dr Paolo Spada, Center for Social Studies, University of Coimbra, Portugal
The public sphere around media outlets offers many examples of dysfunctional behaviours that undermine the quality of public discourse. This is particularly the case with online public comments sections on news sites that attract thousands of people every day. This project aims to explore, through a large-scale field experiment, how representation-centric collaborative platforms and empathy inducement can promote more reason-based, intellectually humble dialogue in online news comments around socially, culturally and politically divisive issues. The field experiment will recruit ordinary citizens who usually read online news and randomly assign them to experience different perspective-taking instructions and platforms that organise and visualise comments in different ways. The project will also field-test a set of measures for investigating intellectual humility in online environments. The aim of the project is to develop a scalable model for how news media institutions, and others, can incorporate comment platforms that promote reason-based, intellectually humble dialogue.

How can we make communication between elected officials and their constituents more constructive and meaningful?
Intellectual Humility and Discursive Participation in Politics: A Field Experiment with Members of Congress and their Constituents
PI: Professor Ryan Kennedy, Political Science, University of Houston
Professor Michael Neblo, Political Science, The Ohio State University
Professor Kevin Esterling, Political Science, University of California, Riverside
Professor David Lazer, Political Science & Computer and information Science, Northeastern University & Harvard University
Professor William Minozzi, Political Science, The Ohio State University
"Current methods of communication between Members of Congress and their constituents, including most polling techniques, encourages ill-informed, arrogant, and often counterproductive discourse. We experiment with technological methods for improving information flow and intellectual humility in the communication between constituents and their Members of Congress, to improve public discourse and provide critical information to policy-makers."
This study addresses three questions. First, is intellectual humility an important precursor of successful deliberation, and, conversely, is intellectual humility affected by deliberation? Second, to what extent are monological (reasoning within one's own head) and dialogical (discussion with others) deliberation equivalent? Finally, how can we communicate the results of online deliberation with government officials and can it be incorporated into policy workflow? To address these questions, we partner with several Congressional offices, drawing samples from their districts to participate in either an online deliberation exercise or a survey with information on the issue (immigration) provided in video and written form. We then compare the outcomes of the experimental conditions, relate the results of the representative sample to those of a self-selected (Facebook) sample, and present the results to participating Congressional offices.

Which online platforms best foster public discourse and how can we improve them?
Scaffolding the media for intellectually humble discourse
P.I. Professor Mark Alfano, Philosophy, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
Research Team Members
Professor Bettina Speckmann, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
Professor Scott Cunningham, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
"It seems that everyone is worried about fake news these days. This project aims to diagnose the structural features of online media that make it more or less trustworthy."
In the age of the Internet, people have increased access to information along multiple dimensions. However, while there are many accurate sources on the Internet, they must be sifted from the spammers, concern trolls, practical jokers, conspiracy theorists, counterintelligence sock-puppets, and outright liars who also proliferate online. The motivating insight of this project is that, when we learn from online sources, we are vulnerable to invisible injustices committed by the media even when we make efforts to be intellectually humble. This leads us to ask which communication topologies best foster intellectually humble public discourse. We will investigate this question by modeling online public discourse in a range of media about fraught religious, scientific, political, economic, and social issues. Using cutting-edge methods from data science and interactive visualization, we will examine the structure and dynamics of the communication networks in which these fraught issues are discussed and argued over.

Can people become more receptive to expert opinion?
Epistemic Trespassing in Public Discourse
Co-P.I. Professor David Dunning, Psychology, University of Michigan
Co-P.I. Professor Nathan Ballantyne, Philosophy, Fordham University
"Public discourse advances when all participants are well-informed. We seek ways to prompt people to consider the contributions of experts to important public debates."
In civil society, public debate should be informed by its experts. Unfortunately, partisans in debate often reject expert opinion or supplant it with their own flawed perspectives. We call this phenomenon epistemic trespassing. Trespassing occurs when individuals or groups move into a debate assuming self-expertise they do not have. It occurs when untrained novices claim knowledge about a field they lack or experts make claims on issues beyond their actual expertise. Our research examines trespassing from both descriptive and normative perspectives. We illuminate the nature of trespassing, what is wrong with it, and methods for mitigating it. Dunning extends his ongoing studies on the identification, acceptance, and rejection of expert opinion. Ballantyne develops new lines of philosophical research on normative problems for trespassers as well as epistemological issues concerning the proper identification of expertise. The research team will also produce a podcast series featuring research on intellectual humility.

Are religious convictions incompatible with intellectual humility?
Religiosity as a Predictor, Barrier, and Outcome Relative to Intellectually Humble Public Discourse
P.I. Professor Elizabeth Krumrei Mancuso, Psychology, Pepperdine University
Professor David Lemley, Religion and Philosophy, Pepperdine University
" By studying how religiosity can promote and undermine intellectual humility and by assessing religious and nonreligious avenues for increasing intellectual humility in public discourse among religious individuals, this project is likely to provide valuable insights and tools for increasing the practice of intellectually humble public discourse."
A number of theologians have argued that epistemic humility stems from recognizing one's relative ignorance in relation to an all-knowing God. As such, religion may provide a foundation for being intellectually humble. Despite this, current and historical events offer counter examples of religious adherents attempting to force their beliefs on others. This project aims to clarify the ambiguity surrounding how religiosity relates to intellectual humility and intellectually humble public discourse.
Our goals are to provide information about:
(1) how intellectual humility can coexist with religious convictions
(2) how specific religious beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors can promote and undermine intellectual humility in public discourse
(3) how certain religious challenges to intellectual humility can be overcome
(4) how religious and secular interventions can be employed to promote intellectual humility in public discourse among religious individuals
(5) some positive social/religious outcomes of intellectual humility in public discourse

What makes us argue so heatedly over things we know little about?
The Cognitive Basis of Extremism
P.I. Professor Philip Fernbach, Marketing & Cognitive Science, University of Colorado Boulder
Professor Steven Sloman, Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences, Brown University
"The intelligence required to understand and act on important social policy questions resides not in any one individual but in a community of knowledge. Improving public discourse is not a matter of better instruction in an effort to turn laypeople into experts, but rather making people aware of their ignorance and of the locus of expertise in the community."
Many people have strong convictions about divisive science-based issues like genetic engineering, global warming, and vaccination despite a remarkably shallow understanding of the mechanisms at play. Rather than merely decrying and trying to eliminate the shallowness and apparent ignorance in so much public discourse, we seek to explain it and to channel it in productive ways. We propose that ignorance is a natural part of the human condition. Individuals are ignorant about most things and tend not to appreciate how little they know. The intelligence required to understand and act on important social policy questions resides not in any one individual but in a community of knowledge. Improving public discourse is therefore not a matter of better instruction in an effort to turn laypeople into experts. Rather, it is a matter of making people aware of their ignorance and of the locus of expertise in the community. We propose three sets of studies. The first set of studies attempts to show that knowledge does reside in the community by showing that people fail to distinguish their own knowledge from that of others. The second set of studies targets the false beliefs that are inculcated by a community. Can we reduce hubris and improve public discourse by showing people that their fundamental assumptions are faulty? The third set of studies examines whether encouraging people to go beyond values-based thinking to consider consequences can increase intellectual humility and improve public discourse.

How can groups and institutions become more humble and open to dialogue?
Collective Intellectual Humility: Investigating When and How Intellectual Humility Enhances Group Outcomes
P.I. Professor Benjamin R. Meagher, Psychology, Franklin & Marshall College
Professor Wade C. Rowatt, Psychology, Baylor University
"This work will provide empirical data that can help inform supervisors, instructors, and leaders of what specific types of behaviors improve group functioning, provide them with suggestions for how to form groups best suited for particular cooperative tasks, and make them better equipped to guide discussants toward more effective patterns of interaction."
Recent research suggests that successful groups are characterized less by the skills or knowledge possessed by each individual member, and more by how effectively these individuals coordinate and communicate with one another. Over three empirical studies, our project will investigate what role intellectual humility (IH) plays in predicting group performance across a variety of cooperative tasks. This project will target several essential questions related to IH and its role in group behavior. First, we will evaluate when IH improves (or fails to improve) group functioning, in terms of the types of tasks groups regularly engage in (e.g., brainstorming, negotiation, problem solving). Second, we will assess whether IH facilitates functioning directly, or if it influences performance indirectly by allowing groups to benefit from other interpersonal factors, such as diversity. Finally, we will code for the specific, unique behaviors that groups high in IH engage in that ultimately predict successful outcomes.

Can we teach students to engage in more productive dialogue?
The Dialogic Classroom: Teaching for Humility and Civic Engagement
PI: John Sarrouf, Director of Program Development & Strategic Partnerships, Essential Partners (not-for-profit)
Dr. Lauren Barthold, Philosophy, Senior Researcher, Essential Partners
Professor Ian Deweese-Boyd, Philosophy, Gordon College
Professor Margie Deweese-Boyd, Social Work, Gordon College
Professor Jill DeTemple, Religious Studies, Southern Methodist University
Professor Jonathan Garlick, DDS, Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Studies, Tufts University
Professor Harriett Hayes, Sociology, Bridgewater College
Essential Partners, a Boston-based nonprofit with a 26-year history facilitating connective conversations across difference, together with a team of professors from varied disciplines and institutions, will build on past IHPD research to develop a new pedagogy for intellectual humility and the constructive engagement of difference in academia.
Prior IHPD research has established the importance of intellectual humility in creating rigorous, thriving academic cultures. Yet practical questions remain as how to institutions might establish viable methods for shifting classroom cultures. To that end, we will conduct focused research into best practices for humility in discourse, then develop, test, and promote a new pedagogy for instructors to cultivate humility, openness, curiosity, and engagement.
Our team will deliver a study of best practices to humility in the classroom, develop in-depth trainings for faculty, and evaluate the success of our pedagogy adapting available measurements established by noteworthy researchers of intellectual humility (Alfano, et al).

Can asking the right questions make political discussion more productive?
Towards a Culture of Questioning: Accountability, Humility, and Public Discourse
PI: Professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Philosophy, Duke University
Aaron Ancell, Philosophy, Duke University
Dr. Jordan Carpenter, Psychology, Duke University
Dr. Jesse Summers, Philosophy, Duke University
"Ideological disagreements turn antagonistic when opponents cannot understand each other's perspectives. Our goal is to reduce such polarization by training students to ask questions that lead to mutual appreciation and productive dialogue."
Polarization plagues our society. A partial cure might lie in asking the right questions. Some questions make people less arrogant and more open to opposing viewpoints. Other questions fuel defensiveness, rationalization, and division. Our project will investigate which questions in which contexts produce or undermine humility and civil discourse.
We will also explore effects of expecting others to ask us questions. People who expect to be held accountable by challenging questions are less likely to be overconfident or to depend on irrelevant considerations. We hypothesize that people who are regularly asked the right questions will come to expect such interrogation and hence become more humble and more likely to engage in fruitful dialogue with people who disagree with them.
This research will provide the basis for a program to train students and the public to ask the right questions. We hope that such a program will help to reduce polarization.

If you like to sing, you are welcomed to come out to our rehearsals on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. at St. Andrews River Heights United Church (basement), 255 Oak Street near Kingsway.
For more information call our Membership VP – Larry Bredesen at 204-477-8023.
Barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied vocal music characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note in a predominantly homo-phonic texture. The melody is consistently sung by the lead, with the tenor harmonizing above the melody, the bass singing the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone completing the chord. You do not have to understand the technical aspects to know that it is fun for men to enjoy the fellowship and the creation of music together. We provide all the tools for you to meet that goal; the ability to read sheet music is not required. If you are a youth/man who would like to sing with a chorus that is committed to singing excellence, we welcome you.
Barbershop music features songs with understandable lyrics and easily singable melodies whose tones clearly define a tonal centre and imply major and minor chords and Barbershop (dominant and secondary dominant) seventh chords that resolve primarily around the circle of fifths, while making frequent use of other resolutions. Barbershop music also features a balanced and symmetrical form, and a standard meter.
If you like to sing, we invite you to visit the River City Sound Chorus on a Wednesday evening. Sitting in on one of our rehearsals is the perfect way to find out more about us, and what we can do for you! You'll have the opportunity to hear us perform four-part, acappella harmony, and you'll be invited to join us on the risers to experience the music, friendship and fun for which our chorus is known!
AFFILIATION – The River City Sound Chorus is a chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (SPEBSQSA), a non-profit organization of approximately 30,000 members in choruses and quartets, worldwide. The headquarters is in Nashville, Tennessee.
PERFORMANCE – The main purpose of the River City Sound Chorus is to get out and sing for our community. We sing at annual shows, a number of community events, and at annual competitions.
EDUCATION – In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of acappella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals, and a very important component of the chorus experience. A couple of times a year, we will get coaching from a visiting master in the art of barbershop, where we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.
COMPETITION – In the spring of every year, the River City Sound Chorus usually participate in the Northern Plains Division chorus competition. Competitions are a special time for quartets and choruses from our Division and District to come together to sing for each other, and get some constructive feedback from a panel of judges. The Division chorus and quartet winners are qualified to compete in the Land O' Lakes District competition in the Fall to possibly qualify for the International Competition, which is held in the summer in a city selected each year.
QUARTETS – Most choruses have a number of members who form their own vocal quartets in addition to singing with the chorus. River City Sound currently has three quartets, and we are very proud of them! Go to our CHAPTER QUARTETS page to learn more about our quartets.

My name is Noelle (if you didn't guess!) and I'm in my late twenties.
After growing up and attending college in the Washington, DC area, by my mid-20s I felt like I was on the right path doing what I was supposed to do: moving up the career ladder, buying a home, and starting grad school. Somehow though, I felt unfulfilled and staying in my hometown was making me restless. As a dual Swiss-U.S. citizen, I had the opportunity to live abroad, I knew I just needed to make the jump (easier said than done!).
So, after a few years of waiting and a grad degree later – in early 2016, I pursued a job opportunity that had presented itself "across the pond" in London, England. I got the job, secured a flat, packed three suitcases, and boarded my flight to whatever came next. This blog was born about a week after my move; initially as a reflection of my life as an expat, but slowly evolving into a resource for practical travel tips and my experiences in various English and European destinations.
After thirteen months in England, family circumstances led me to move back stateside, but the travel certainly hasn't stopped – so follow along as I explore all the world has to offer.
My goal with this blog is to provide practical travel tips, firsthand experiences, travel guides, and honest reflections on life as an expat. I aim to go beyond the surface in order to gain a deeper understanding of the destinations I visit.
You'll also see two very important people from time to time on the blog – Mark (my unofficial writing reviewer) and Markell (my mini adventurer). The former is my wonderful boyfriend and the latter is my son.
Thank you for your kind words, Lisa!


We had our third "Crafty Club" gathering last night and it was a success! My friend Sarah hosted it this time and she did a great job entertaining, as always.
The evening was filled with conversation, vodka lemonades and crafting. She picked out a great craft -- little bird-eggs-in-a-nest necklaces that we created from wire and beads.
picked out the ones we loved.
wire to create the nest around the beads.
Here's a photo of all of our finished necklaces. Everyones turned out uniquely different.
Sarah found the idea for this project on Etsy, so I need to give credit to the woman who makes these and sells them on her Etsy page Poppy & Pine . Here's one of the necklaces she sells.
I think ours turned out pretty good considering this was our first time making them! I can't wait to wear mine.
I love it! All the necklaces came out so great, I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
