In an unreported decision, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals joined the Seventh and Ninth Circuits in granting putative plaintiffs standing to sue a company keeping their personal information on file pursuant to a breach of that company's data security, where there had not been actual illicit use of their stolen personal information.
In Galaria et al. v. Nationwide Mutual Ins. Co., Nos. 15-3386/3387, 2016 WL 4728027 (6¬th Cir. Sept. 12, 2016), the Sixth Circuit overturned the district court's dismissal of two putative class action Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) claims for lack of standing. In finding standing, the court determined that even before actual identity theft occurs (i.e. the hackers using the stolen information to fraudulently open or access accounts, or to perpetrate other identity-related fraud), access of a consumer's personal data is an injury-in-fact.
In October of 2012, hackers penetrated Nationwide's computer network and stole the data of 1.1 million customers, including that of the Plaintiffs. In alleging claims of negligence (as well as invasion of privacy, a claim that is not the focus of the opinion), the Plaintiffs averred that while they had not as of yet suffered losses from fraud or direct theft of funds, the theft of their data created an "imminent, immediate and continuing increased risk" of a harm. Additionally, the Plaintiffs claimed that in order to mitigate that risk, they "ha[d] suffered, and will continue to suffer" both temporal and financial costs, including purchasing financial monitoring services, purchasing and viewing credit reports, bank statements, and instituting and removing credit freezes.
The district court originally determined that these harms were not a cognizable injury; the Sixth Circuit disagreed, and reversed the lower court's ruling. Citing Supreme Court precedent (Clapper v. Amnesty Int'l USA, 133 S. Ct. 1138 (2013)) that standing can be found based on a "substantial risk" that harm will occur when that harm prompts plaintiffs to reasonably incur mitigation costs, the Sixth Circuit determined that the Plaintiffs' claim met the necessary threshold—where the Plaintiffs allege that their information is now in the hands of ill-intentioned criminals, their increased risk of fraud is beyond the necessary "substantial risk" to find standing to sue.
Two days after the opinion was made available (although, again, the opinion is unpublished, and so is not mandatorily binding precedent in any jurisdiction), a putative class of insurance policyholders affected by a similar data breach made mention of Galaria in their appeal to the Third Circuit to overturn the dismissal of their suit. While the Third Circuit has not yet ruled on the issue, and is not bound by the precedent, this argument has expanded beyond the first two circuits in which it appeared, being followed by a third, and getting a "foot in the door" in the Third Circuit. Accordingly, firms storing personal data should be aware of the increasing possibility of suits in response to security breaches, even without actual identity theft injury occurring.

Raman-Based High-Throughput Screening for Version and Polymorph Identification
In the early stage of pharmaceutical product development, the rate-determining step has shifted from the synthesis phase to the analysis phase. There is a need for innovative techniques that allow for rapid screening of drug candidates and also enable data processing. The necessity to process a large number of drug candidates has resulted in the development of the field of high-throughput screening (HTS).
Screening of Drug Candidates
Polymorphic form is one of the most critical characteristics of solid-state drug candidates. A large number of molecular solids, for instance, organic drug candidates undergo crystallization in varied polymorphic forms. These solids vary only in terms of the space group, which the extended solid belongs to or the manner in which the constituent molecules conform to each other.
Pseudopolymorphic versions of compounds like hydrates and solvates are often considered along with polymorphs. Variations in solvation or hydration and in polymorphic form could considerably impact the drug's stability, dissolution, and bioavailability properties. Therefore, in drug manufacture it is important to characterize these forms or versions early in the lifetime of a candidate and create only the preferred polymorphic version.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) along with infrared (IR) spectroscopy is generally utilized for differentiating polymorphs; however, IR and the subsequent data collection require sample preparation which is difficult to automate, a key requisite in a screening tool.
Nevertheless, technological advancements have made Raman spectroscopy open to rapid and automated data analysis. This technique is a form of vibrational spectroscopy that provides contact-free analysis and requires no sample preparation.
Figure 1. RamanRxn1 HTS with a wellplate
Kaiser Optical Systems' RamanRxn1™ High Throughput Screener (HTS) is designed to allow automated and rapid data collection and analysis on little amounts of solid in a wellplate (Figure 1).
In automated experiments, large amounts of information are produced that can be studied by means of chemometric techniques. Raman spectroscopy can track a candidate form from the discovery phase through to the manufacturing phase, thanks to its instrumentational and analytical capability. This capability improves the existing knowledge for transfer at every step of scale-up while a candidate API is converted into a drug product.
Identification of Polymorphs
In an evaporation experiment, three products were used in which one drug candidate was crystallized by gradual evaporation from three different solvents (Figure 2). At the left side of the figure, the crystals' white-light images indicate that three different crystalline versions have been created, which are validated in situ and sans any sample preparation by the Raman spectra of three exclusive polymorphs illustrated at the right of the figure.
Figure 2. Raman spectra of three unique polymorphs formed by crystallizing a drug candidate by evaporation from three different solvents.
Following Raman analysis, these polymorphs can be assessed individually for their suitability in the preferred dosage form. The application of Raman HTS is a paradigm of PAT viable methods in research and development.
Solvates
Other than hydrates, solvates are not often used in drug development, but they are used as intermediates in the development of the end drug product. Therefore, it is important to distinguish the solvates to better understand the formation of the end product. While In these experiments, similar solvents were used, the Raman spectra of numerous solvates (Figure 3) are satisfactorily different, making it easy to differentiate them.
Figure 3. Raman spectra of solvates
Channel Solvates
In other solvates, the solvent molecules are part of the crystal lattice. In contrast, the solvent molecules in channel solvates are found in channel-like interstices between the drug molecules. Channel solvates pose unique challenges as they could integrate different range of solvents and also water from the atmosphere. They can be easily identified by the variations in a slurry's Raman spectra along with the solvent and crystals separated from the slurry (Figure 4).
Figure 4. Raman spectra of channel solvates showing the change in position of the solvent peak between crystals in slurry, dry solvated crystals, dry unsolvated crystals, and neat solvent
Raman spectroscopy is a suitable technique for HTS screening of polymorphs during the early stage of product development. Unlike XRD, the technique is just as effective for analyzing slurries and solids and offers the required flexibility to manage a wide range of drug candidates.
Using Kaiser's RamanRxn1 HTS, each well in these experiments can be examined in a few seconds. In spite of varying well fills, each well can be automatically focused to provide data of high quality. In contrast to a traditional Raman microscope, the entire wellplate and data collection is completed automatically without staff intervention.

Known in Zimbabwe mostly by his stage name KingPinn, Tonderai Enerst Makoni was a Zimbabwean Hip Hop music artist who was active for less than 5 years. He committed suicide on May 12 2003 in Cape Town where he was studying Political Science and Media studies. He was the son of the politician, Simba Makoni. One of his most popular songs was "I salute you", is a tribute to Africa's liberation war fighters.
Born in the UK, Makoni attended Thornhill Primary School in Gaborone, Botswana and later went to Watershed College in Marondera, Zimbabwe for his high school. Tonderai's older brother, Takura Makoni, liked rap music and growing up would make music and share it with his siblings. Tonderai also loved the genre and around 1998 was starting to compose his own songs. It's been said one day, he performed to his older brother at home.
Upon realising his young brother's talent, Takura helped King Pinn to get some studio experience. The first studio project that King Pinn worked on was with The Blackfoot Tribe, in which he was featured. The project was done at Shamiso Records in Eastlea, Harare, a studio owned by Gilbert Muvavarirwa. The track was produced by Ian Hillman who was once bass guitarist for the late great Andy Brown and the Storm. The Blackfoot Tribe was made up of Professor The Four P, Vic Fox, Laygwan Sharkie, Chief 'Tone Capone' Chihota and Rassie Ai (Takura).
Makoni ended his life on 12 May 2003 while studying at the University of Cape Town.

Because future medical breakthroughs will not meet their true potential unless there is an integration of HIT and patient safety.

Fulfilling the Promise of Electronic Health Records
By Mark Jarrett | Monday, April 4, 2016
In 2001, the Institute of Medicine Crossing the Quality Chasm report delineated the basic framework for developing structures and processes to support safe, high-quality care in the US. The report included a recommendation to make a "national commitment to building an information infrastructure to support health care delivery, consumer health, quality measurement and improvement, public accountability, clinical and health services research, and clinical education." The hope was that such a commitment would eliminate most handwritten clinical data by the end of the decade.
Fifteen years later, we clearly have not yet achieved this goal in the United States. Spread of the electronic health record (EHR) has, however, been accelerating over the last five years with government support and incentives. Despite the expectation that EHRs would improve the quality and safety of health care, the unintended consequences of this technology have had a significant impact on communication, data sharing, and care.
LEARN MORE: Leading Population Health Transformation, Feb. 22-24, 2017, in San Diego, California
What Gets in the Way
There are many challenges that keep the EHR from becoming the quality and patient safety tool we envisioned at the start of the century. These include, but are not limited to:
Quality measures that are difficult to access electronically;
Poor interface design that forces providers to spend too much time typing on a keyboard and not enough time paying attention to the patient;
No national repository for health information technology safety information; and
Lack of interoperability between multiple systems.
Opportunities for Improvement
The many frustrations that health care staff experience while using the EHR on a daily basis can make it difficult to imagine anything better. The good news? There are many possibilities for improving the EHR, to make it a better tool for helping clinicians improve care.
Real-time clinical decision support: When alerts and reminders are too numerous or not specific enough, their helpfulness is limited. Worse, they can contribute to "alert fatigue." In contrast, clinical decision-making tools that utilize the input of both medical devices and clinicians will revolutionize care and improve safety.
Real-time automated quality metrics: Metrics that are not dependent on human chart abstraction will provide clinicians with the information they need to drive care improvement.
True interoperability: If different information technology systems and software applications easily communicate and exchange data, this data helps clinicians make better, more informed patient care decisions in a timely manner.
The Impact of Future Health Care Needs on EHRs
In addition to how the EHR can improve current ways we provide care, health information technology (HIT) holds the key to future paradigm shifts in the quality and safety of health care.
Personalized medicine: Utilizing genomic information can help clinicians provide more individualized care, specific to each patient's needs.
True population health management: The ability to collect, analyze, and communicate both medical and social information can help increase understanding of the individual patients and populations we serve. A focus on the subset of patients with chronic disease who utilize the most health care resources will improve care and bring value to patients.
Patient and family engagement: Providing patients and their families with the information they need to be full partners in care is essential for improved shared decision making.
These lofty goals, however, will not succeed unless there is an integration of HIT and patient safety efforts. Despite efforts to raise awareness, vendors do not focus on ensuring that their products will improve patient safety. They rarely provide expertise on how to improve workflow so organizations can implement the software more effectively.
Reasons for Hope
Despite all of these challenges, there are a number of forces at work that will ultimately drive improvement in HIT and patient safety.
Most hospitals are becoming part of larger health systems. Although this often means problems with legacy HIT systems, economies of scale enable smaller hospitals to obtain the expertise of the larger system.
Many physicians are joining health systems as employees or aligning through risk contracts in Independent Practice Associations, providing them with the HIT expertise available in a large health system.
Health systems are joining Patient Safety Organizations, which provide information on HIT-related safety issues at other organizations.
The federal government recognized that HIT implementation has far outpaced the ability of organizations to successfully implement EHRs so that they achieve more than Meaningful Use certification. The government has delayed certain benchmarks in order to enable organizations to catch up.
The rapidly evolving payment system for health care in the US is pushing organizations to recognize the strategic necessity of a robust HIT program.
The EHR will, by the end of the decade, be the primary (and probably only) tool for medical orders, documentation, prescriptions, and the exchange of clinical information. It also will be a critical support for clinical decision making. A comprehensive approach must be developed and implemented so that EHR errors have no impact on patient care. This involves an understanding of how an IT system can impact patient safety at all points in the lifecycle of an EHR, learning from previous errors of EHR implementation, and improving clinical workflows to maximize the capabilities of an EHR.

The free PnP TerrainCreator looks interesting for rapid terrain mesh creation. Although despite the PnP (plug and play?) moniker, it seems like one of those applications only a developer could love. Even after looking at the manual I couldn't work out even how to get it started, merely in order to see what the free version's watermarked output (.obj and .3ds) looks like, and if it could be easily hidden with iClone ground-cover. In the end I had to download a sample terrain. Even then it refused to export because I was in the wrong mode and the cryptically-described correct mode was completely un-findable. It seems to be an intensely unintuitive application, but you might want to tinker with it if you're desperately looking for a free landscape mesh generator. Another free alternative may be L3DT, which apparently allows "small meshes" to be exported for free.


Home » General » Living On One Income!
I've recommended before that couples who are ultimately planning on one person staying home with children, start running their finances and their budget that way from the beginning. That's simply the best way to be prepared for what is to come.
I've also pointed out that one of the best times to save is before having children. But with marriage happening later and later in our culture (and the transition into parenthood for those marriages therefore happening perhaps a bit more quickly than it otherwise might), this important savings period has been crunched. So here's some quick advice for those who are single: realize that you are saving now for your future family's financial life.
I recommend that couples contemplating a stay-at-home arrangement first take a period of living as if they had only one income for at least three months before one of them quits a full-time job. They may find that even though their expenses will be cut for needs such as day care, transportation and clothing, they may find it hard to continue to dine out frequently or splurge in other ways. If that's you, it's a good idea to bolster an emergency fund to cover unexpected things that come up, such as household repairs.
It's even better if this "trial run" can begin at the start of a marriage, which should allow for a fantastic period of saving before having children.
Couples should buy life insurance on both partners, not just on the working spouse. If the stay-at-home parent dies, the surviving spouse can use the benefits to pay for outside child care, live-in nannies, housekeepers and other functions that had formerly been handled by the stay-at-home parent.
If the stay-at-home parent or both parents operate a home-based business, both should be listed on IRS Schedule C and all related business documents when they file taxes.
I've reviewed past returns (which we do for free, for non-clients — our clients, of course, already being well taken care of!) where only the information of the spouse who actually filed the taxes was submitted, in effect denying the other spouse from accumulating Social Security benefits.
Lastly, a word about what's most important: YOU. Stay-at-home parents should make sure they are well on their way to funding their own retirement before paying for a child's college education. The best thing you can do for your kids is to take care of yourself first. If your children have to take out student loans, despite all the bad publicity, they do have 40 years to pay those loans back — and at favorable interest rates, at that.
Had I known what I know now about compounding interest and the idea of having a Private Reserve Strategy, I'd be in an even better financial position right now. And it's not about having more money, it's about having more options for doing the things we like to do. If you want to know more how a Private Reserve Strategy can help you with the some of the financial options I mentioned above, get in touch with us.

Spartacus HD-DVD - Is it worth the upgrade from DVD??
This is one of my favourite all time films and I have been thinkig about the HD-DVD for a while now but have been put off by some average reviews (including DVDTalk here .
I already own the Criterion Special Edition DVD which has a greatpic and loads of extras - my question is, does anybody agree I should stick with the CC DVD or upgrade to HD??
No. This is one of the worst looking HD DVDs I have watched. Stick with the Criterion.
Worst-looking HD-DVD I own, and I've got 63 of them. Virtually no noticable improvement over the Criterion SD-DVD.
As I noted in my review, there are some slight improvements over the Criterion, specifically in the realm of compression artifacts and mosquito noise. But not enough of an improvement to warrant a whole new purchase.
I bought it, watched it, puked and resold it.
How can The Searchers look so good and Spartacus so bad?
The Searchers was taken from a brand new 2005/2006 remaster. Spartacus was remastered in 1991, and the technology has improved greatly since it was done.
So far that is the reason I am upgrading to the new format (in my case Blu-ray): to replace my first generation DVDs. For example I upgraded to "The Searchers" because of the video and the extras; and ditto "Goodfellas" to get rid of my "flipper" version with no extras.
I have both and I don't suggest buying the HD-dvd if you have the Criterion. Just wait and see if this gets cleaned up in the future.
This makes me wonder how much better (if any) Brazil will look, when it's released in HD-DVD format, than the newer anamorphic Criterion release?

Stems: Prostrate or erect, circular to egg-shaped, 2-5 inches long, 2-4 inches wide, flattened, bluish green, waxy.
Leaves: Leaves absent. Pad-like stem segments with 1-6 spines per areole; spines 2 inches long or more, straight or sometimes twisted, not barbed, often only on uppermost areoles; bristles abundant, tiny, yellowish brown, barbed, at bases of spines.
Inflorescences: 1 to several flowers, sessile on margins of pads.
Flowers: Showy, broadly funnel-shaped, 2-3 inches wide, yellow to copper, centers sometimes reddish; stamens numerous, filaments yellow or reddish.
Fruits: Berries, fleshy, globe- to egg-shaped, 1-3 inches long, red or purple, not spiny; seeds numerous, disk-shaped, flattened, tan to white.
Habitat: Dry rocky prairies, hillsides, and overgrazed pastures.
Forage Value: Prickly pear has been used in the past as an emergency livestock feed after the spines have been burned off.
Uses: In times of food shortage, Native Americans ate the raw or stewed fruit. Wildlife such as deer, jackrabbits, and turtles eat the fruits and help spread the seeds.
Comments: Prickly pear endures drought well due to its succulent pads and extensive root system. It increases during dry periods and decreases when conditions favor the growth of grasses.

Q: Query for selecting sequence of hits consumes large quantity of data I'm trying to measure the conversion rate through alternative funnels on a website. My query has been designed to output a count of sessions that viewed the relevant start URL and a count of sessions that hit the confirmation page strictly in that order. It does this by comparing the times of the hits.
My query appears to return accurate figures, but in doing so selects a massive quantity of data, just under 23GB for what I've attempted to limit to one hour of one day. I don't seem to have written my query in a particularly efficient way and gather that I'll use up all of my company's data quota fairly quickly if I continue to use it.
Here's the offending query in full:
WITH
s1 AS (
  SELECT
      fullVisitorId,
      visitId,
      LOWER(h.page.pagePath),
      device.deviceCategory AS platform,
      MIN(h.time) AS s1_time
  FROM
    `project.dataset.ga_sessions_*`, UNNEST(hits) AS h
  WHERE
    _TABLE_SUFFIX BETWEEN '20170107' AND '20170107'
  AND
    LOWER(h.page.pagePath) LIKE '{funnel-start-url-1}%' OR LOWER(h.page.pagePath) LIKE '{funnel-start-url-2}%'
  AND
    totals.visits = 1
  AND
    h.hour  < 21
  AND
    h.hour >= 20
  AND
    h.type = "PAGE"
  GROUP BY
    path,
    platform,
    fullVisitorId,
    visitId
  ORDER BY
    fullVisitorId ASC, visitId ASC
),

confirmations AS (
  SELECT
      fullVisitorId,
      visitId,
      MIN(h.time) AS confirmation_time
  FROM
    `project.dataset.ga_sessions_*`, UNNEST(hits) AS h
  WHERE
    _TABLE_SUFFIX BETWEEN '20170107' AND '20170107'
  AND
    h.type = "PAGE"
  AND
    LOWER(h.page.pagePath) LIKE '{confirmation-url-1}%' OR LOWER(h.page.pagePath) LIKE '{confirmations-url-2}%'
  AND
    totals.visits = 1
  AND
    h.hour  < 21
  AND
    h.hour >= 20
  GROUP BY
    fullVisitorId,
    visitId
)

SELECT
  platform,
  path,
  COUNT(path) AS Views,
  SUM(
    CASE
      WHEN s1.s1_time < confirmations.confirmation_time
      THEN 1
      ELSE 0
    END
  ) AS SubsequentPurchases
FROM
  s1
LEFT JOIN
  confirmations
ON
  s1.fullVisitorId = confirmations.fullVisitorId
AND
  s1.visitId = confirmations.visitId
GROUP BY
  platform,
  path

What is it about this query that means it has to process so much data? Is there a better way to get at these numbers. Ideally any method should be able to measure the multiple different routes, but I'd settle for sustainability at this point.

A: There are probably a few ways that you can optimize your query but it seems like it won't entirely solve your issue (as I'll further try to explain).
As for the query, this one does the same but avoids re-selecting data and the LEFT JOIN operation:
SELECT
    path,
    platform,
    COUNT(path) views,
    COUNT(CASE WHEN last_hn > first_hn THEN 1 END) SubsequentPurchases
from(
SELECT
    fv,
    v,
    platform,
    path,
    first_hn,
    MAX(last_hn) OVER(PARTITION BY fv, v) last_hn
from(
SELECT
    fullvisitorid fv,
    visitid v,
    device.devicecategory platform,
    LOWER(hits.page.pagepath) path,
    MIN(CASE WHEN REGEXP_CONTAINS(hits.page.pagepath, r'/catalog/|product') THEN hits.hitnumber ELSE null END) first_hn,
    MAX(CASE WHEN REGEXP_CONTAINS(hits.page.pagepath, r'success') then hits.hitnumber ELSE null END) last_hn
FROM `project_id.data_set.ga_sessions_20170112`,
UNNEST(hits) hits
WHERE
    REGEXP_CONTAINS(hits.page.pagepath, r'/catalog/|product|success')
    AND totals.visits = 1
    AND hits.type = 'PAGE'
GROUP BY
    fv, v, path, platform
)
)
GROUP BY
    path, platform
HAVING NOT REGEXP_CONTAINS(path, r'success')

first_hn tracks the funnel-start-url (in which I used the terms "catalog" and "product") and the last_hn tracks the confirmation URLs (which I used the term "success" but could add more values in the regex selector). Also, by using MIN and MAX operations and the analytical functions you can have some optimizations in your query.
There are a few points though to make here:

*

*If you insert WHERE hits.hithour = 20, BigQuery still has to scan the whole table to find what is 20 from what is not. That means that the 23Gbs you observed still accounts for the whole day.

*For comparison, I tested your query against our ga_sessions and it took around 31 days to reach 23Gb of data. As you are not selecting that many fields, it shouldn't be that easy to reach this amount unless you have a considerable high traffic volume coming from your data source.

*Given current pricing for BigQuery, 23Gbs would consume you roughly $0.11 to process, which is quite cost-efficient.

*Another thing I could imagine is that you are running this query several times a day and have no cache or some proper architecture for these operations.

All this being said, you can optimize your query but I suspect it won't change that much in the end as it seems you have quite a high volume of data. Processing 23Gbs a few times shouldn't be a problem but if you are concerned that it will reach your quota then it seems like you are running several times a day this query.
This being the case, see if using either some cache flag or saving the results into another table and then querying it instead will help. Also, you could start saving daily tables with just the sessions you are interested in (having the URL patterns you are looking for) and then running your final query in these newly created tables, which would allow you to query over a bigger range of days spending much less for that.

Material Design EditText with a delightful linear ripple in background, compatible with Android 4.0+.
This library took the framework implementation of RippleDrawable as reference to implement an EditText background with a ripple on the line. The MaterialEditTextBackgroundDrawable is made to behave just the same as the framework XML implementation of EditText background, so that a drop-in replacement should not affect your layout and alignment.
For simplicity of usage, a MaterialEditText is created to set the background automatically, and set the hotspot of ripple on platforms prior to Lollipop.
The InputTextLayout from Design Support Library can automatically set the red tint on background when an error is set. An MaterialInputTextLayout is introduced to make the background drawable show a bold red line consistent with Material Design Guideline when an error is set.
Simply replace your EditText with MaterialEditText and TextInputLayout with MaterialTextInputLayout, then you can enjoy the delightful detail now.
The AAR of this library has already included a ProGuard configuration file to make ObjectAnimator work properly.
Neither Support v4 nor AppCompat v7 backported animation API to versions prior to ICS, and the NineOldAndroids library has already been deprecated since people should all be using minSdkVersion="14" now, so versions older than ICS are not supported.

I love all of the illustrations and the boots are DIVINE!! Thank you for brightening up my day!
loving the new furniture with old drawers!
Love the lace clock! Just wanted you to know you have been mentioned in Part 3 of My Favorite Things series. Check it out when you get a chance!
What wonderful finds! All of those doilies are so fantastic!
The ring book might be cute, but my idea of the wrist notebpad is way more rockin!
The book ring is the best!
The rockwell ring is such a great find, Danni!
That first clock is amazing and that ring you can write a note on is genius! I wish I thought of that!
Gorgeous collection,I love Ravenhill's vintage doily bunting!
Such beautiful items, and I especially love the bunting--makes me want to hang it in the garden and let the spring breeze blow...beautiful work, Ravenhill!!!
are you kidding me? That book ring is so cute! not practical, but definitely adorable!
Ok, I want that clock so bad that there is a sharp pain in my stomach!!! And I just read Mrs. French's comment that it's gone!! Now tears accompany the sharp pain.


Do we need more chickpeas on pizza recipes, yes of course! This pizza is more like a flatbread with an olive oil glaze, tomatoes and onions, a generous layer of chickpeas tossed in Ethiopian berbere spice blend. Once baked, it is finished with a tahini dressing, or other creamy dressing or use lemon juice.
The crust is my 20 minute crust. It is a simple crust where the flour, water, yeast is mixed up to a loosely formed soft dough, no kneading necessary. Let it sit for 5-10 mins, shape, add layers. See Crust video on this post. For the pictured crust, Iused half whole wheat and half white flour.
I work in parallel for the pizza so the crust sitting close to the heating oven gets plenty rise time while I prep the layers and add them. The chickpeas are tossed with berbere spice, salt, garlic. The veggies sliced thin. The dressing can be made from scratch or use vegan mozzarella shreds or vegan ranch. Bake and done. For variations, use other beans or lentils or a mix of chickpeas and veggies such as zucchini, mushrooms, or partially cooked cauliflower.
Berbere ideally is a paste made by simmering the whole spices with onion and garlic, then blended and used. I use a dry spice mix for this recipe (see from scratch recipe below). Use premade berbere or use other spice blends like Shawarma or Garam masala as both pair well with creamy tahini based dressing. You can easily make this baked on a large tortilla for a tortilla pizza or roll up into a wrap. Cook the spiced chickpeas on stove top or bake until crisp and use with veggies, lettuce, tahini dressing.
Make this and let me know in the comments how it turned out! I love hearing from you. Do post pictures and tag me on instagram or post on my facebook page.
Simple Veggie Pizza with 20 minute Crust with garlicky olive oil and no cheese.
Sriracha BBQ Tofu Pizza with almond milk pepperjack because Sriracha!
Buffalo Chickpea Pizza with celery ranch dressing. Looks time intensive but really isnt.
My first book has close to a 100 pictures for 150 recipes (after a lot of back and forth with Publisher for wanting more). You can find the rest of the photos here. All the recipes that dont have photos, covered on this post!
Back to this pizza. Shape the dough. Brush olive oil.
Add onions, some of the tahini dressing.
Garnish with cilantro and more tahini dressing or other creamy dressing. Slice and Serve. This is a strong flavored pizza, which you an taste test as you go before baking. Adjust the spices in the chickpeas before spreading and baking.
Mix the berbere spice mix really well. Preferably also add 1/8 tsp ground ajwain(carom seeds) and ground kalongi (nigella seeds). I know lots of spices :).
Add garlic, onion, salt and olive oil to the chickpeas and toss well to coat. set aside. Make the tahini sauce, thin it out to preference.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F / 220ºc. Shape the pizza crust. Spread the crust to about 14 inch size to make a thin crust large pizza. Brush with olive oil. Place sliced tomatoes on top. Add the spiced chickpeas in a single layer. (You can also add some greens or pepper as toppings).
Place sliced onions on top. Drizzle some of the tahini garlic sauce. Bake for 18 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro or parsley. Drizzle some more tahini sauce, slice and serve. You can also use vegan ranch, vegan mozzarella (add before baking) or other creamy dressing or just lemon juice to dress.
You can easily make this baked on a large tortilla for a tortilla pizza or roll up into a wrap. Cook the spiced chickpeas on stove top or bake until crisp and use with veggies, lettuce, tahini dressing.
Do you use instant yeast or traditional yeast?
The smaller or bigger granules? Because my dough didn't rise….Thanks!
I use active yeast small granules, but instant should work too. If the dough did not rise, then the yeast either died (water was too hot), or salt was added directly to the yeast mixture or the yeast was old. Did the yeast get frothy when you mixed it with warm water and 1 tbsp flour?
Made this Friday and it was killer! I used your crust recipe which is so wonderfully fast and has revolutionized my pizza nights. Made this exactly as written and loved it so much. Thanks!!
Awesome! yes that crust is my go to crust.
Made this Pizza last night. It's a Five Star affair! We all enjoyed it immensely.
I used white spelt flour and wholemeal wheat for the crust. Just had the leftovers for lunch (I made double batch) and it tasted even better! Easy crust, New go-to tahini dressing recipe and ab fab pizza combo. (I have to admit I've made berbere and Ethiopian food before and already knew I liked it so I was immediately drawn to this recipe).
Made this the other night. It was so flavorful! I think I will saute the chickpeas and make wraps to carry for lunch.
Awesome! wraps sound like a perfect meal.
thats awesome!! You can put my cauliflower shawarma on the pizza too and dress with the tahini dressing before serving.
Which tahini dressing recipe did you use for this?
Made this last night for me and my fiance. We devoured the whole thing. The flavor combination was so oooo good!
How is this pizza gluten free? Did you make the crust, which for me is the most important thing on a vegan pizza. There is no recipe for the crust for this pizza with chickpeas. Did I miss something?
there is a search box on top right that you can use as well.

Baggage Claim (Single Review) – Miranda Lambert
Miranda Lambert is the current it-female country singer. So naturally, her newest single and upcoming album are both some of the most awaited country music releases this year. Set for a late August release, Baggage Claim, the debut single off Lambert's upcoming album Four The Record, was rush-released to country radio after leaking.
My approach to Lambert's music is one where enthusiasm and apprehension are mixed. I haven't been a fan of all her releases but I've come to appreciate them. Her single The House That Built Me remains, to me at least, one of those timeless songs that make you happy about your life when you listen to them. The House That Built Me is also the single that made Lambert who she is today – two time ACM Female Vocalist winner and Entertainer of the Year nominee at the CMAs, regardless of how deserving she is of that.
So it is from that base – and it is such a high base – that you'd expect her to approach the lead single off Four The Record. What did she do? She went the opposite – and totally expected – lead single route.
What is the song about? Yes, you guessed it: guy bashing.
If people had worried her marrying Blake Shelton would soften her up, Baggage Claim is here to prove them all wrong – somewhat. "I have been dragging around your sensitive ego, making sure that your bags arrive on time for the dog and pony show," she opens up the song after a guitar riff that remains throughout the song.
Baggage Claim is a song, which as the title implies, is about Miranda Lambert's significant other being moved out of her life and home. And she doesn't leave anything to the imagination as she angrily sings the chorus: "At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name. When you hit the ground, check the lost and found cause it ain't my problem now. I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles all my own. It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car, I'm packin' it in so come and get it."
But it is in the second chorus that the song delivers its highlight – and its only one at that. Lambert is known for her lyrics craftsmanship. And while the baggage metaphor is not degrading to the song, it's not exactly instant-hit material either. However, there's one sentence in the whole song that's lyrically highly intelligent: "If it ain't obvious what has set me off today, behind every woman scorend is a man who made her that way…" and then Lambert continues explaining about what the man did on his business trip.
Repeat chorus, insert useless bridge, repeat chorus… and that's your whole song.
The problem with Baggage Claim is that, even for Lambert, it feels quite overdone – both thematically and musically. She's had many other singles dealing with the same topic and they've all been better songs than this. While her vocal delivery is quite on point, as is expected from someone of her caliber, the material she's dealing with is quite weak – especially for a lead single.
The whole song feels like a paint-by-number guy-done-me-wrong Desperate Housewives-inspired song. It feels like the writers came up with the baggage metaphor and thought long and hard about how to make a radio-friendly song that might break Miranda Lambert's poor streak with lead singles, instead of delivering a great song that would have definitely gotten airplay on radio, with all the hype Lambert has been getting lately.
You see, the reason why the great Dead Flowers, Miranda's lead single off her critically acclaimed album Revolution, did not manage to become a radio hit is mostly because of its dark theme as well as Lambert's weak radio performance at the time. She changed course with White Liar, Revolution's second single, which gave Lambert her first chart-topping single (or top 2 on Billboard). But at the end of the day, the song that made Lambert is The House That Built Me. And with that song, Lambert took a risky decision to release a not very radio friendly song, but a deep song with meaning. And it worked for her – as evident by The House That Built Me almost winning every award it got nominated for and spending four weeks atop the country charts.
That's the route she should have taken. Baggage Claim is not a bad song in itself. After several listens, it catches on. But it's representing a follow up to a highly critically acclaimed album. Hopefully the rest of Four The Record is better than this.
Listen to Baggage Claim here.

Educators who have been around several decades have seen widely touted changes come and go. In the past three decades, for example, some of the innovations have been referred to as: site-based management, constructivist classrooms, technology integration, school restructuring, systemic change, and re-inventing schools.
Despite such rhetoric, changes that have occurred in U.S. K-12 schools appear to be "tinkering around the edges." In 2015, for example, there may be more use of computer tablets and Wi-Fi networks in schools, more standardized achievement testing, more accountability for student learning achievement, less state funding for public schools, more tax dollars going to private charter schools, and increased regulation of schools by state and federal governments.
Furthermore, have any of these changes significantly improved K-12 education? While apparently well-intentioned state legislators and state departments of education are mandating changes in K-12 education, there are no guarantees of improving matters.
Worse, these changes may cause more harm than good. The stakes are very high. The consequences of mistakes can be devastating for our children and our future.
We must know what to change in order to know how. Without knowing what to change, the "how" is irrelevant (Frick, Thompson & Koh, 2006). We must know whether the change is likely to accomplish the goal and that the change will not have negative, unintended effects.
For example, attempts to hold teachers accountable for student achievement not under their control may drive the best teachers to leave the profession, due to frustration with such working conditions. It may also discourage potentially good teachers from entering the profession. Moreover, the best students might leave the public schools to attend private schools, if their parents can afford it. This would leave public schools in possibly worse straits, with the least capable teachers and lowest achieving students remaining, and less money from public tax dollars to support them. Then what?
Some scholars argue that an entire paradigm change is needed in education. For example, Reigeluth & Karnopp (2013) have promoted a vision and strategies to get there. These include significant curriculum expansion, individualized learner-centered instruction, and attainment-based evaluation of learning—that contrasts with existing time- and age-based structures for moving student groups through lock-step grade levels. As another example, Duffy (2009) is promoting systemic change efforts.
But do we know how well such new paradigms will work? This does not mean that a new education system that is learner-centered and attainment-based is not worthwhile. Nor does it mean that changes to expand and revamp curriculum in school are not needed. It just means that we lack sound knowledge to predict outcomes of new designs of education systems.
As an analogy, consider an old bridge that is failing—it is structurally weak and is impeding the flow of traffic. If the bridge is not fixed, it will collapse and vehicles will plunge into the river. When engineers design a new bridge, they utilize adequate scientific theories. No one in modern times would consider designing a new bridge by trial and error. Nor would they let politicians try to do it.
Yet, in education we are essentially proceeding by trial and error in attempts to improve education—whether tinkering around the edges or by creating new paradigms. We lack sound knowledge to make reasonable predictions whether or not the proposed remedies will fix the problems in education we face.
In disciplines where knowledge has significantly advanced, there has been careful development of terminology so that researchers know what each other is actually talking about. For example, in physics the concepts of 'atoms' and 'molecules' are clearly defined. Each 'atom' has a particular combination subatomic elements called 'electrons', 'protons', and zero or more 'neutrons'. For example, a molecule of 'water' is comprised of two 'hydrogen' atoms and one 'oxygen' atom. A 'hydrogen' atom consists of one electron and one proton. A stable 'oxygen' atom contains eight each of electrons, protons and neutrons (see "Properties of water," n.d.).
As another example, it was not that long ago that the field of medicine was not a discipline. There was no medical science, as there now is. At one time, physicians would prescribe bloodletting to treat all kinds of disease, which turned out to be an ineffective practice and has been largely abandoned ("Bloodletting," n.d.). Many people were harmed by such ignorance.
Medicine advanced, in part, because researchers in the field became more disciplined in their inquiry. Terms are now precisely defined in medicine. 'Osteoarthritis' does not mean whatever people want it to mean (i.e., construct their own meanings). Osteoarthritis is the medical term for a particular disease. Researchers and practitioners in the field of medicine have agreed on what this term means. So when treatments of this particular disease are investigated, competent medical professionals know what they are talking about.
Without such a vocabulary in educology, we will continue to be much like the fields of physics and medicine before they became more disciplined in their inquiry.
Basic terms of 'educology' include 'learning', 'knowing', 'signs', 'education system', 'teaching-studenting processes', 'teaching-studenting structures' and many others. See the basic glossary for this website at: http://educology.indiana.edu/glossary.html.
A standard vocabulary is necessary for advancing knowledge of education, similar to how knowledge of physics and medicine have advanced. Advances in educology will in turn help us to improve education, in particular worthwhile education for everyone.

Prevent a worm by updating Remote Desktop Services (CVE-2019-0708)
MSRC / By msrc / May 14, 2019 June 20, 2019
Today Microsoft released fixes for a critical Remote Code Execution vulnerability, CVE-2019-0708, in Remote Desktop Services – formerly known as Terminal Services – that affects some older versions of Windows. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) itself is not vulnerable. This vulnerability is pre-authentication and requires no user interaction. In other words, the vulnerability is 'wormable', meaning that any future malware that exploits this vulnerability could propagate from vulnerable computer to vulnerable computer in a similar way as the WannaCry malware spread across the globe in 2017. While we have observed no exploitation of this vulnerability, it is highly likely that malicious actors will write an exploit for this vulnerability and incorporate it into their malware.
Now that I have your attention, it is important that affected systems are patched as quickly as possible to prevent such a scenario from happening. In response, we are taking the unusual step of providing a security update for all customers to protect Windows platforms, including some out-of-support versions of Windows.
Vulnerable in-support systems include Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2008. Downloads for in-support versions of Windows can be found in the Microsoft Security Update Guide. Customers who use an in-support version of Windows and have automatic updates enabled are automatically protected.
Out-of-support systems include Windows 2003 and Windows XP. If you are on an out-of-support version, the best way to address this vulnerability is to upgrade to the latest version of Windows. Even so, we are making fixes available for these out-of-support versions of Windows in KB4500705.
Customers running Windows 8 and Windows 10 are not affected by this vulnerability, and it is no coincidence that later versions of Windows are unaffected. Microsoft invests heavily in strengthening the security of its products, often through major architectural improvements that are not possible to backport to earlier versions of Windows.
There is partial mitigation on affected systems that have Network Level Authentication (NLA) enabled. The affected systems are mitigated against 'wormable' malware or advanced malware threats that could exploit the vulnerability, as NLA requires authentication before the vulnerability can be triggered. However, affected systems are still vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploitation if the attacker has valid credentials that can be used to successfully authenticate.
It is for these reasons that we strongly advise that all affected systems – irrespective of whether NLA is enabled or not – should be updated as soon as possible.

8 June 2013 marks the centenary of the death of Emily Wilding Davison, four days after the Epsom Derby race, where she stepped into the path of the King's horse and was knocked unconscious to the ground. Although Emily is best known for the manner of her death there is much more to learn about this courageous campaigner for Votes for Women in Edwardian Britain and this exhibition celebrates her suffragette life with some images from The Women's Library @ LSE collection.
The Exhibition has been co-curated by Elizabeth Chapman, Director of Library Services, London School of Economics and Political Science and Professor June Purvis, University of Portsmouth.
Emily Wilding Davison was born in 1872 into a comfortable middle-class home at Blackheath, Kent, where her family had travelled from Morpeth, Northumberland, a short time before her birth. At the age of nineteen, she attended Holloway College to study for the Oxford Honours School in English Literature but had to leave half-way through her course and find work when her father, the main family provider, died. After a period as a governess she was able to complete her studies at St Hugh's Hall, a women's college recently founded in Oxford, where she gained a First Class degree in English in 1893 (although at that time women could not actually take their degrees). She then took up employment as a schoolteacher, a not entirely happy experience, and so went back to working as a governess. Sylvia Pankhurst described her as being "tall and slender, with unusually long arms, a small narrow head and red hair", and as having "whimsical green eyes and thin, half-smiling mouth".
Emily joined the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1906, a women-only organisation that had been founded by Emmeline Pankhurst in 1903 to campaign for the parliamentary vote for women. From 1908, the campaigning colours of the 'suffragettes', as members of the WSPU were called, were purple for dignity, white for purity and green for hope.
Many suffragettes refused to be counted in the 1911 census, in protest at their inferior status as individuals rather than citizens with parliamentary voting rights. Emily took her protest one step further by hiding overnight in a cupboard in the House of Commons near the Chapel. Unfortunately she was discovered by a cleaner and added to the schedule for the Houses of Parliament, albeit with her name spelt incorrectly. She was also counted at her lodgings. During her lifetime Emily hid 3 times in the Houses of Parliament. Such imaginative and novel escapades made her well known.
The 1911 census was the first where respondents completed their own details and uniquely included a question for married couples on how many children they had, both living and dead. This census provided data for campaigners for the vote who saw enfranchisement as a means to improve the general lot of women.
"There is not a single question in the country which touches men which does not also touch women, and for that reason in order that such questions may be fully and adequately dealt with the women's point of view is needed equally with the man's."
The text is carefully planned with headings including: 'The National Standpoint' which deals with figures on infant mortality and 'The Imperial Viewpoint' which points to the forward looking nations of Australia and New Zealand with their universal suffrage. 'The Moral Standpoint' quotes the great nineteenth-century social reformer Josephine Butler, whose Papers are also held in The Women's Library @ LSE Collection, and who worked to repeal the Contagious Diseases Acts, passed in the 1860s, to provide compulsory medical examinations of those believed to be prostitutes. 'The Financial Standpoint' asks for equal pay for equal work since, as Emily said, "Women are cheap today".
The manuscript ends with her summary and what could be her notes from the debate itself.
Emily's handwritten paper describes the campaign of setting fire to post boxes which she started late in 1911. She sets out the legislative impasse regarding the granting of the vote to women and describes how she decided to step up public protest from stone throwing to pillar box fires. The account is detailed and, with some humour, tells of her arrest and trial. Her actions were very public and after the first attempt she made certain that she was seen. At her trial she stated that she was acting on her own. She was sentenced to six months in prison and, despite her efforts, was not given leave to appeal. Although not on hunger strike, she was forcibly fed for 8 days in March 1912.
The page shown describes her first incendiary route down the Strand to the Fleet Street Post Office.
"I took out of my pocket a packet of the same size as an ordinary letter. It was of grease proof paper tied with cotton. Inside was coarse linen well soaked in kerosene ... I calmly applied a match ... held it for a second ... I let the packet, now well alight go down the receptacle, & threw the matches in afterwards. I then quietly walked on down Fleet Street & turned into the first Lyons I came to to get lunch."
This is one of two letters in The Women's Library @ LSE Collection written to Emily by her mother Margaret in Northumberland. This one is in reply to what must have been a positive description of prison life from Emily and has encouraged her mother to think prison life has its compensations. Margaret refers to the pleasures of exercise in prison and how "it will be cheery to meet & talk with the other suffragettes". She notes Emily's fondness for baths (once a week in Holloway Prison at that time) and the need for a hot water bottle. News of family members and cold weather at home ends with "Oceans of love from Mother."
In this dramatic description of her life in prison, Emily writes about barricading herself in her cell and the forced entry of her warders to force feed her. It was subsequently published by the WSPU.
"I called at the top of my voice 'I will not be fed by the doctor if it must be done it must be by the Senior Dr...'"
"The senior doctor (then operating) said: 'Miss Davison you are determined' I replied in the brief interval as the tube was out 'I am'." Nevertheless the sound of other women being similarly tortured made her determined to protest and she later twice threw herself off the prison landing railings, causing herself considerable injury.
Many of the contemporary descriptions of force feeding were smuggled out of prisons to alert supporters outside. Women and men who suffered this treatment had subsequent associated health problems throughout their lives.
Suffragettes who had been imprisoned were greeted with celebrations on release and from 1908 onwards a "Holloway" brooch designed by Sylvia Pankhurst was given to those who had endured their sentence. Emily was imprisoned for the cause eight times and this letter would not have been the only one she received recalling her medal so that another bar could be added to record the most recent hunger strike.
Emily was buried with her medals.
Passed by parliament in late April 1913 the 'Cat and Mouse Act' was notorious in its effects. The government (the Cat) was able to temporarily discharge prisoners who were weakened by force feeding into the community, and once the prisoner (the Mouse) had sufficiently recovered, they could be re-arrested to serve out the rest of their sentence. In this way any potential deaths in prison could be avoided and those released kept under surveillance.
A short scene which forms part of a small collection of Emily's more creative writing. Another piece deals with an unexpected and happy marriage while the one displayed here, portrays a postman trying to deliver a damaged package to a suffragette. The latter is offered compensation for the damage caused by as the postman says "them Suffering Cats", meaning the suffragettes. 'Cat' was often used as a term of abuse for the suffragettes. The fictional damage to the package is the very kind of thing Emily would have caused herself in her own militant actions (see item 4).
Emily may well have been familiar with Shakespeare from her degree studies.
Using speeches from Act III Scene I and Act I Scene III of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice she plays with and rearranges the words spoken by Shylock as he attacks the anti-Semitism of those who would borrow money from him but not pay back what he asks. As Shylock presses home the adverse treatment of Jews so the substitution of the word Woman for Jew, and Man for Christian, underlines the case for equality of treatment for women campaigning for the Vote.
"Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe" leads into Emily's introduction of the insults used against suffragettes such as "law breaker". Perhaps the mention of demands for money is a reference to the Tax Resistance League, an organisation which she supported and where she tried unsuccessfully to get work.
Emily's race card from the Derby shows she has marked up some of the runners for the first race at 1:30pm, perhaps to note which horses she wanted to see including those wearing the King's colours so that she would be able easily to recognise them later. Perhaps she placed a bet or perhaps she just recorded the results. It may be that annotating the card made her look more like one of the crowd and less suspicious. The King's horse Anmer is at the top of the list on the card for the Derby race itself at 3pm.
Contemporary film footage shows Emily choosing the right moment to get under the white railings and stand in the path of the horses until Anmer is within reach. What she actually intended we do not know but the consensus seems to be that she wanted to make a dramatic gesture, perhaps by pinning the suffragette colours on the horse. She was knocked to the ground unconscious and was taken to Epsom Cottage Hospital where she died 4 days later.
"Fracture at the base of the skull caused by being accidentally knocked down by a horse through wilfully rushing on to the race course at Epsom Downs Surrey on the 4th June 1913 during the progress of a race."
It would anyway have been unusual to buy a single one way ticket to the racecourse station, and Emily may have been aware that as an ex-prisoner and known protestor she could be under police surveillance. Although some knew she was going to the Derby on that day it would appear that none of her friends knew her intentions.
On the morning before the Derby Emily is recorded as having visited the WSPU offices and asked for 2 flags without giving any particular reason. There is some evidence that Emily was seen as a lone protestor and as somewhat beyond the control of the official organisers of the WSPU campaigns.
It is possible she planned to put one of the flags on the King's horse and one was certainly pinned inside her coat and is visible in photographs at the scene.
Her close friend Mary Leigh, another militant suffragette, visited Emily in hospital along with Rose Lamartine Yates who donated so many of Emily's possessions to The Women's Library Collection and whose lawyer husband, Thomas, represented Emily's family at the inquest into her death. Contemporary descriptions record that her friends hung the WSPU colours around Emily's hospital bed. Mary Leigh visited Emily's grave in Morpeth every year after her death and took with her one of the flags. Mary later carried it at the first Aldermaston "Ban the bomb" march in 1958. The CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) collections are also at LSE.
This letter obviously written in haste and anguish contrasts with the one Margaret wrote to Emily while in prison (item 5). The letter is dated the day after the Derby race and while the envelope says "Please give this to Emily", Emily would never have read it since she remained unconscious until she died. It is highly probable that her friends read the letter to her.
In the letter, Margaret acknowledges her daughter's vehemence "for the cause, which I know you have given up your whole heart & soul to". She notes the visitors to Emily, Mary Leigh, Mrs Alice Green her landlady in London and Mrs Penn Gaskell who had all been in touch. Eleanor Penn Gaskell had helped to nurse Emily back to health in 1912 when she came out of prison.
Margaret in her despair, sharpened by having read critical reports in the newspapers, cannot understand her daughter's action.
"I need not tell you my heart is full of grief & agony & the thought you are so far away is giving me much misery and pain. I know you would not wilfully give me any unhappiness. Although it must have been some sudden impulse and excitement... With oceans of love from your sorrowful Mother"
While Emily lay dying in hospital she received hate mail from those who considered the stopping of the Derby race just as outrageous as the suffragettes' demands for Votes for Women. There were certainly many critical reports in the newspapers although not universally so and the news of her action spread across the world with much reporting in the USA where the struggle for the vote was continuing.
This letter from "An Englishman" describes Emily as "unworthy of existence", hopes she may "live in torture" and wonders why she is not in an Asylum. This last outcome was tried for several supporters of the cause, both men and women, including Emily at one point. She would likely have faced similar vitriol on the streets during protests.
The funeral procession across London with Emily's coffin on Saturday 14th June was a well-organized spectacle with five thousand suffragettes dressed in white with black armbands and carrying lilies. The rather austere photograph of Emily on the cover of the service order is taken from her degree portrait and the tone is one of martyrdom for the cause. The clergy conducting the funeral service were members of the Church League for Women's Suffrage. From St. George's Church, Bloomsbury, the procession took her body to King's Cross station and then by train to Northumberland for burial in Morpeth, her family home where her Mother was living.
This cigar box apparently contained many of Emily's possessions prior to deposit with the Women's Library Collection. There is no proof that the writing on the inside is hers but it certainly fits with her actions and intentions.
Emily's close friend Mary Leigh set up the Emily Wilding Davison Club at 144 High Holborn as a memorial and her Clapham landlady Alice Green was its secretary. Many of her papers and possessions were gathered with those of others for the Suffragette Fellowship's Women's Record Room in Brunswick Square.
Emily Wilding Davison is most famous for the manner of her death but the collection of her personal papers and possessions at The Women's Library @ LSE reveal a woman intellectually and morally committed to the cause of women and the granting of Votes for Women as a means for social reform. This document is effectively her suffragette manifesto setting out as it does her thoughts, feelings and commitments to the women's cause. It is backed by the considerable number of letters and other contributions she made to newspapers, using her intellectual capabilities to argue for and support the cause so dear to her heart.
It is difficult at the distance of 100 years to fully understand the active struggle for something we take so much for granted today, but here we can see her careful working and re-working of her words and the passion behind the purpose.
"The true militant suffragette is an epitome of the determination of women to possess their own souls."
To lay down life for friends, that is glorious, selfless, inspiring! But to re-enact the tragedy of Calvary for generations yet unborn, that is the last and consummate sacrifice of the militant! She will not hesitate "even unto this last". Emily Wilding Davison.
The Price of Liberty was published posthumously in 1914 in The Suffragette, with some changes from Emily's manuscript.

Sackler Trust suspends UK donations | The Sackler Trust announced today that it will temporarily pause 'all new philanthropic giving' in the UK. A statement made by Theresa Sackler acknowledges that the 'current press attention' surrounding the US lawsuits brought against Purdue Pharma (the manufacturer of the opioid Oxycontin, which is owned by several members of the Sackler family), has placed 'immense pressure' on UK institutions. And Hyperallergic reports that the Guggenheim Museum has joined London's National Portrait and Tate galleries in stating that it 'does not plan to accept any gifts' from the Sacklers, having received $9m from the family between 1995 and 2015.
EU will allow UK art shippers into Europe without permits until end of year | The EU agreed last week that in the case of a no-deal Brexit it would allow luxury good hauliers coming from the UK, including art shippers, to enter Europe without an ECMT permit until the end of the year. The European Conference of Ministers of Transport issues ECMT international road haulage permits for travel between ECMT member countries, tending to favour food and medicine services over luxury goods, however, hauliers who have not yet been able to acquire a permit can continue to use their EU Community License until 31 December 2019.
Decolonize This Place group leads second protest at Whitney Museum | The activist group Decolonize This Place led a protest at the Whitney Museum on Friday evening calling for the removal of Warren B. Kanders as vice chairman of the museum's board. The group held a similar protest in December 2018 in response to a report that revealed that the Kander-owned Safariland had manufactured the tear gas deployed against asylum seekers at the U.S. border between Texas and Mexico. The activists occupied the fifth-floor gallery which houses the museum's current Warhol retrospective as well as the ground-floor lobby. The protest was the first in a series called 'Nine Weeks', with action planned to take place every Friday until the Whitney Biennial starts on 17 May. The Whitney has declined to comment.

Jewish Studies ranges from the ancient world to today, from Israel to the ends of the Diaspora, from Hebrew to Arabic and Yiddish. Its literatures, peoples, religious traditions, history, and culture are investigated in every discipline in the human sciences. The University of Chicago is a leading center of multidisciplinary scholarship and education in Jewish Studies. Our faculty and students pursue the varied fields of Jewish Studies in departments such as Comparative Literature, Germanics, History, Music, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, Philosophy, Political Science, Slavic Languages and Literatures, the Committee on Social Thought, and in the Divinity School. The University boasts special strengths in the interdisciplinary constellations of Bible, ancient Near Eastern history and archeology, and the history of scriptural interpretation; medieval Jewish thought and intellectual history; German-Jewish literature and culture; and modern Jewish history, philosophy, and culture.
The Center is also engaged in developing new models for undergraduate education in Jewish Studies and new institutional structures to enhance graduate students' departmental training. It serves as a hub to publicize the many resources in Jewish Studies available at the University, and it guides students to them. It also coordinates the awarding of dissertation year fellowships, provides graduate student travel and research grants, and funds a variety of undergraduate projects.
