Q: How to add a header caption in all logger message exceptions I'm developing a web application with Java and Jboss.
I use the java logger java.util.logging for logging messages.
I'm interested that all output messages that makes the application have a custom header caption. For example:
[21.2.2017 13:25:28][CERT:1642 ENS:5][ERROR]: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

Where the custom header caption is:
[21.2.2017 13:25:28][CERT:1642 ENS:5][ERROR]
I've been able to do it, creating a custom (extend  java.util.logging.Formatter).
Logger logger = null;
StreamHandler handler = null;
MyCustomFormatter format = null;

logger = Logger.getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME + "." + custom_name);
format = new MyCustomFormatter();
handler = new StreamHandler(System.out, format);
logger.addHandler(handler);

I'm only able to show the header caption in cases where I call the logger explicitly. For example:

*

*Anywhere in the code: logger.info(msg);

*In catch exception: logger.severe(e.printStackTrace());
I would like to add this caption in ALL messages, also in error or exception messages that I don't control with try/catch.
How I can do?
EDIT 1
My custom logger has a parent logger, and this parent logger has the root logger.
Logger.getLogger("")
    |------> Logger.getLogger("global")
                |------> Logger.getLogger(Logger.GLOBAL_LOGGER_NAME + "." + custom_name)

I have done a test. I have created a custom PrintStream and OutputStream to avoid that the errors don't show on the console and log file, setting it on System.err:
CustomNullPrintStream pse = new CustomNullPrintStream(new CustomNullOutputStream());
System.setErr(pse);

*

*CustomNullPrintStream extends PrintStream

*CustomNullPrintStream extends OutputStream

Which I have overrided all methods without content code.
Then, if I provoke an exception like this:
            try {
                throw new Exception("ERROR TEST");
            } catch (Exception e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }

The exception is not visible on console and log file.
But If I provoke an exception like this without try/catch:
            int iii = 1/0;
            iii = iii+1;

The exception is visible and keeps showing on console and log file.
Why? In two cases are exceptions/errors.

A: I don't know how your logger is initialized, but you could try setting the formatter on the root logger (call parent() on the logger untill null).
Another way is to change the global template itself instead of overriding it. This can be done programmatically or via command line.
System.setProperty("java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format", <template>);

see the javadoc of that class for how a template is constructed.

A: If you already have a custom formatter the best way to use your formatter is to make it a module within WildFly. From there you can add it as a custom-formatter within WildFly and assign it to the handlers you want to see that format on.
Here's an example of some CLI commands:
module add --name=com.example.formatter --resources=/path/to/formatter.jar
/subsystem=logging/custom-formatter=my-formatter:add(class=com.example.formatter.MyCustomFormatter, module=com.example.formatter)
/subsystem=logging/console-handler=CONSOLE:write-attribute(name=named-formatter, value=my-formatter)

The above would use your formatter for all messages written to the console. You could change it to use a different handler or just assign a new handler to specific log categories.
One thing to note is you shouldn't alter the log manager in code like you're doing. This will change logging for the container and all deployments within the container.

I think the time has come for us all to do a little more than put our 2 cents in.
Our healthcare system is a mess, and while many of us fighting in the trenches and taking care of patients are working to make things better (despite the best efforts of much of the rest of the system), the challenges and our ability to overcome the barriers that stand in our way often seem insurmountable.
Take for example, a recent office visit from one of our patients, typical at our practice. Overbooked onto a schedule already packed full of patients, he had called up requesting a same-day appointment with urgent issues he needed addressed.
Those of us who have done this for a long time have always found ways to squeeze these patients in, to make this work, to try and keep our patients out of the emergency room. But even in the best of worlds, this type of visit can challenge us all.
But as this patient pulled out his list, I realized this was not a single issue, a "sore throat," "what's this rash," "can you remove these sutures," "my ankle hurts" kind of visit. No, this list had 17 items.
In the best of scheduling worlds, we get 20 minutes for appointments, but with overbooking, patients arriving late for appointments, slowdowns caused by computer and insurance issues, it's rare for us to get a full 20 minutes to sit and really take our time, figure out all that's going on, and get through their list and ours. If things are running smoothly and working at maximum efficiency, this 20 minutes would give me about 71 seconds per issue for those 17 issues.
I'm pretty good and pretty efficient, and often when patients bring a list like this there are things you can sort of group together, collectively figuring out what might be caused by a single thing — what's the forest for the trees. A quick labs order, some gentle advice, something to try at home.
But sometimes, there are enough big items on that list that you can't do justice to them all. And after finally wrapping up as many of his items as I could, I was sort of jolted to remember that I had a bunch of things that I needed to get to for this patient, some health issues and health maintenance items that needed attending to, that would serve him better than spending those scant minutes (seconds?) on the items on his list.
There were a number of screening issues he hadn't gotten to, vaccines he has put off, medications he wasn't taking regularly, self-care that he was avoiding, and medical conditions that were not optimally managed either by myself, by his specialists, or by him.
And all of these items were the things that are going to lead to the system telling us we're not taking good care of him. A letter from the insurer that says he's not filling his statin regularly at the pharmacy; what am I going to do about it? Or a report on screening metrics for which his failure to get his colon cancer screening completed leads to yet another demerit for my practice.
And, he shows up on a quality improvement project as a big "no" under healthcare proxy, since no record of this exists in his chart, as he has repeatedly not completed the form we've given him or engaged his family members on what he wants to have done later in life.
It's time we ask ourselves, "What do we want our healthcare system to look like; what's the best it could be in 5, 10, or 20 years from now?" Yes, there are going to be lots of bells and whistles in the electronic health record; yes, we are going to have automation and robots helping us; and yes, artificial intelligence will peer into the lives of our patients and inform us how to take better care of them. But can we get there from where we are, or do we need to scrap the whole thing, and finally admit to ourselves that in the fee-for-service model with diminishing returns, cramming more patients in the schedule is not the answer?
Health, wellness, prevention, and thoughtful care of existing conditions are the ultimate goals of any rational and equitable healthcare system. Clearly, what we have is not doing a great job of helping us and our patients get to any of these.
Forcing doctors to function in an environment where they are clicking boxes and creating elaborate notes that serve only to satisfy billers and auditors, continuous regulatory requirements and online courses we need to complete, the burdens of maintenance of certification, and endless regulatory and insurance barriers have created a toxic environment in which, not surprisingly, we are discovering that everyone is burning out in some fashion or another.
I love my job; I love coming to work every morning; and I have loved taking care of patients and teaching outpatient medicine for the past quarter of a century. We have to start to work together to create an idealized manifestation of the vision of this best practice for healthcare for our country, our patients, and ourselves. Only then will we be able to inspire the next generation to follow in our footsteps, to pick up the mantle of primary care; subspecialty, medicine, surgery, radiology, psychiatry, and all the rest. And only then will we be able to give our patients the attention they need to get to everything they want to address, while still allowing us to take the best care of them.
Or else our 2 cents are only going to add up to 71 seconds.


Bekkersdal has become one of the focal points of the simmering discontent with the ANC government.
Johannesburg, South Africa - Carved in the dry highveld known as the West Rand, the township of Bekkersdal is a stark emblem of the broken dream of millions of South Africans who live in squalor across the country.
Rubbish lies strewn across the streets, open sewage drips down and flows between rusty metal drums holding fresh fruit and vegetables for sale.
In the informal settlements strewn across the township, where there is no running water, electricity or sanitation, election posters urging residents to exercise their vote hang perilously from wire-mesh fences that surround donkey-drop outside toilets.
The township, built in 1945 is home to 50,000 people, many of whom are employed, or have been employed at some time, in the gold mines surrounding the township.
Bekkersdal, however, has become one of the focal points of the simmering discontent with the South African government and its failures to to serve all its people.
"Is this a township of a scrapyard, we don't know any more," Thapeng Wesi, head of Greatern Westonaria Concerned Residents Association in Bikkersdal, said.
Resident have repeatedly said they wouldn't vote until the premier of the Gauteng province, Nomvula Mokonyane, offered an apology for calling their votes "dirty".
Mokonyane, reportedly fatigued by being jeered by residents during a visit in October 2013, said: "People can threaten us and say they won't vote but the ANC doesn't need their dirty votes."
The comments drew outrage and the residents made it known that the ANC was no longer welcome here. In February 2014, two voter registration stations were petrol-bombed as part of residents' demands that voting should not take place until the local municipality was dissolved. These residents cite corruption, nepotism in the ranks of the local government for the failure to address their grievances.
Thembani Mhlonithwa, 38, was playing a card game with friends on the side of a gravel road alongside thousands of informal houses made of metal, wood and plastic - said he won't be able to vote because "people" didn't allow him to register at the time.
Violent service delivery protests in Bekkersdal - the precursor to the move to boycott the polls - intensified in mid 2013 with police officers armed with tear gas and rubber bullets routinely holding running battles with residents shutting down streets, burning tyres and pelting stones. A municipal building has been trashed and burnt.
There are allegations of mob justice created to deal with rising incidents of crime, which the local police will neither confirm or deny. The bolstered security presence has not vacated the township in the run-up to the polls with the police setting up satellite stations on the outskirts.
Bekkersdal is just one township among many in a larger story of rising disenchantment with the ruling party and its leader Jacob Zuma that has made this election the most aggressive since 1994.
Protests against poor delivery of services has become a chronic problem for the ANC-led government. In the Gauteng province alone, where Bekkersdal is situated, at least six such protests take place daily, with 20 per cent of all protests across the province turning violent in one form or another.
Political intolerance is an oft repeated theme in conversations with residents here, with many refusing to express an opinion for fear of reprisal attacks from the ANC or the vast conglomeration of fierce opposition parties trying to make in-roads among the poor, the unemployed and the idle.
And when residents were ready to speak politics, they found it hard to articulate their political positions. One woman, in her fifties, dressed in ANC apparel, walking under the shade of an umbrella, said: "Our kids have turned into political gangsters here ... they are killing each other."
Earlier this year, ANC leaders going door to door to campaign in Bekkersdal were chased away with stones. And while both pro and anti ANC factions in the community complain of repression, some explain the aggression as a by-product of ANC arrogance, and years of broken promises.
More worryingly, residents say the witch-hunt of political opponents has become a nightly affair. For its part, the ANC refuses to allow the inhospitality it has been treated to in Bekkersdal to become the status quo.
And after threatening "a large rally" that would stamp their presence on the township for the past few week, a number of government ministers arrived on Saturday for a "walk through" the township.
Late President Nelson Mandela's ex-wife Winnie Mandela also arrived to address the township.
So too, did police officers, in nyalas [casbahs] and pick-up trucks, armed profusely with riot gear - arrive in the township in their hundreds as well - seemingly prepared for a war.
Bekkersdal is the not the South Africa that should even exist.

Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry that studies the relationship between electricity, as a measurable and quantitative phenomenon, and identifiable chemical change, with either electricity considered an outcome of a particular chemical change or vice-versa.
These reactions involve electric charges moving between electrodes and an electrolyte (or ionic species in a solution). Thus electrochemistry deals with the interaction between electrical energy and chemical change.
When a chemical reaction is caused by an externally supplied current, as in electrolysis, or if an electric current is produced by a spontaneous chemical reaction as in a battery, it is called an electrochemical reaction. Chemical reactions where electrons are transferred directly between molecules and/or atoms are called oxidation-reduction or (redox) reactions. In general, electrochemistry describes the overall reactions when individual redox reactions are separate but connected by an external electric circuit and an intervening electrolyte.

Q: Unity leaderboard on mac os x device - Pubnub, Playfab or Firebase? I am currently making a a leaderboard feature for my Mac OS X Unity game. I first tried Playfab but I kept getting an error saying "PlayFabException: Must be logged in to call this method PlayFab". I can't find a way to resolve this.
I have 2 scripts that does this, this is the code for the PlayFabManger script:
`using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using PlayFab;
using PlayFab.ClientModels;
using System;

    public class PlayFabManager : MonoBehaviour

    //public static PlayFabManager instance;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        //instance = this;
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(PlayFabSettings.staticSettings.TitleId))
        {
            /*
            Please change the titleId below to your own titleId from PlayFab Game Manager.
            If you have already set the value in the Editor Extensions, this can be skipped.
            */
            PlayFabSettings.staticSettings.TitleId = "F9F3D";
        }
        Login();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }

    void Login()
    {
        var request = new LoginWithCustomIDRequest
        {
            CustomId = SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier,
            CreateAccount = true
        };
        PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(request, OnSuccess, OnError);
    }

    //private void OnLoginSuccess(LoginResult result)
    //{
    //    //>> Call Client API here <<
    //    var getStoreItemsRequest = new GetStoreItemsRequest { StoreId = "[YourStoreId]" };// Please change this value to your own storeId from PlayFab Game Manager
    //    PlayFabClientAPI.GetStoreItems(getStoreItemsRequest, OnGetSuccess, OnError);

    //}

    void OnSuccess(LoginResult result)
    {
        print("Successful login create");
    }

    public void SendLeaderBoard(int score)
    {
        var request = new UpdatePlayerStatisticsRequest
        {
            Statistics = new List<StatisticUpdate>
            {
                new StatisticUpdate
                {
                    StatisticName = "PlatformScore",
                    Value = score
                }
            }
        };
        PlayFabClientAPI.UpdatePlayerStatistics(request, OnLeaderboardUpdate, OnError);
    }

    void OnLeaderboardUpdate(UpdatePlayerStatisticsResult result)
    {
        print("Successful leaderboard sent");
    }

    void OnError(PlayFabError error)
    {
        print("Error while logging in/creating account!");
        print(error.GenerateErrorReport());
    }

    public void GetLeaderBoard()
    {
        var request = new GetLeaderboardRequest
        {
            StatisticName = "PlatformScore",
            StartPosition = 0,
            MaxResultsCount = 10
        };
        PlayFabClientAPI.GetLeaderboard(request, OnLeaderboardGet, OnError);
    }

    private void OnLeaderboardGet(GetLeaderboardResult result)
    {
        foreach (var item in result.Leaderboard)
        {
            print(item.Position + " " + item.PlayFabId + " " + item.StatValue);
        }
    }

    }

`
I also have a line of code in another script that is called at the start method and refers to the above script, where I pass in a Playerprefs.GetInt variable:
playFabManager.SendLeaderBoard(PlayerPrefs.GetInt("TtlPoints"));
Does anyone have any idea on resolving this error? Is there an easier way to achieve this leaderboard feature on Mac OS X using other extensions such as firebase or pubnub?
Sorry for my English, looking forward to hearing from you.

A: PubNub awesome, Beamable uses them for fabs leaderboards for Unity! Check them out.

A: I'll take the Firebase answer.
If you go the Firebase route, there is not an out of the box Leaderboard solution. There is an example open source repository that you can use to implement leaderboards on Realtime Database that should be relatively simple to implement.
Your second problem is that although Realtime Database does work on desktop (and the leaderboard in particular hasn't given me any issues), it is currently a beta feature only intended for use during development. If you file a related bug, the team will work to fix it, but it will probably be prioritized behind any mobile-features. You could implement it all using the REST API directly, but at this point the official Unity samples and documentation won't apply.

First COVID-19 Death Reported In Marshall County
MARYSVILLE – We are saddened to announce the first death of a Marshall County resident related to Covid-19. No information will be released on this individual. "We extend our deepest sympathies to the loved ones during this time of loss," said Sue Rhodes, Marshall County Public Health Nurse, and director of the Marshall County Health Department. "Our heart is with the family, friends and neighbors who are grieving."
"Now, more then ever, each of us must do our part to prevent the spread of this virus, especially to our most vulnerable residents," Rhodes said. "We've all seen reports of outbreak-related deaths in other states and other counties, but this death in Marshall County reminds how important it is to protect each other during this pandemic."
Marshall County Health Department and Community Memorial Healthcare are working together to keep county residents up-to-date on the numbers regarding testing, hospital admissions, dismissals, and deaths. We all work together towards the prevention and treatment of common illnesses and diseases. "Especially now, this pandemic brings hospitals, health departments, schools, emergency management and emergency service, nursing homes, businesses, and families together in an effort to improve life in our communities," Rhodes said.
"The battle against this virus is real, as we suffered the first the first loss of life in our community," said Dr. Shane Thoreson, chief of medical staff at Community Memorial Healthcare. "Our prayers are with all of those who are suffering as we work together to find a solution. We will be called to use all of the tools we have been given to combat the COVID-19 virus. My prayers and sympathies go out to the family of the deceased."
"As we enter the "community spread" phase of COVID-19 locally and regionally, we must all double down on a COVID Prevention Plan," said Curtis Hawkinson, CMH chief executive officer. "We need more mask-wearing, frequent hand washing, social distancing, and to eliminate social gatherings where these precautions cannot be maintained," he said. "If we do not do these things, we will continue to have additional deaths in our communities and overwhelm the healthcare system and our healthcare facility."

HARA-KIRI is a uniquely Japanese form of suicide. Its corporate equivalent is karoshi, "death by overwork". Since this was legally recognised as a cause of death in the 1980s, the number of cases submitted to the government for the designation has soared; so has the number of court cases that result when the government refuses an application. In 1988 only about 4% of applications were successful. By 2005 that share had risen to 40%. If a death is judged karoshi, surviving family members may receive compensation of around $20,000 a year from the government and sometimes up to $1m from the company in damages. For deaths not designated karoshi the family gets next to nothing.
Now a recent court ruling has put companies under pressure to change their ways. On November 30th the Nagoya District Court accepted Hiroko Uchino's claim that her husband, Kenichi, a third-generation Toyota employee, was a victim of karoshi when he died in 2002 at the age of 30. He collapsed at 4am at work, having put in more than 80 hours of overtime each month for six months before his death. "The moment when I am happiest is when I can sleep," Mr Uchino told his wife the week of his death. He left two children, aged one and three.
Official figures say that the Japanese work about 1,780 hours a year, slightly less than Americans (1,800 hours a year), though more than Germans (1,440). But the statistics are misleading because they do not count "free overtime". Other tallies show that one in three men aged 30 to 40 works over 60 hours a week. Half say they get no overtime. Factory workers arrive early and stay late, without pay. Training at weekends may be uncompensated.
During the past 20 years of economic doldrums, many companies have replaced full-time workers with part-time ones. Regular staff who remain benefit from lifetime employment but feel obliged to work extra hours lest their positions be made temporary. Cultural factors reinforce these trends. Hard work is respected as the cornerstone of Japan's post-war economic miracle. The value of self-sacrifice puts the benefit of the group above that of the individual.
Toyota, which is challenging GM as the world's largest carmaker, is often praised for the efficiency and flexibility of its workforce. Ms Uchino has a different view. "It is because so many people work free overtime that Toyota reaps profits," she says. "I hope some of those profits can be brought back to help the employees and their families. That would make Toyota a true global leader." The company is promising to prevent karoshi in future.

Again we have to witness the death innocent people at the hand of gunman. This time most of the fallen are children of 14 years of age.
No one is safe anymore, not even in the schools, where the parents send their children believing that their kids are in a safe environment and learning so to become educated and successful. Unfortunately, that has become more of a fallacy.
Every year around 30,000 people are killed in the USA due to gun violence. That equivalents to eleven 9/11 events of 2001. After the tragedy of 9/11, USA invaded two countries causing tens of thousands of death of innocent people as well as destruction of two countries, Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention death of thousands of American Soldiers and maiming of tens of thousands of others who will need medical help for the rest of their lives as well as creating a massive national debt that cannot be repaid during our or our children's life time. But yet US does not do anything about the 30,000 death in the country which happens every year. This does not include thousands of others who are injured, but do die and need medical treatment for years.
Recently, the Trump Administration very quietly, repeal the Obama's rule banning mentally disturbed individuals being able to buy gun. Now, thanks to President Trump any mentally disturbed individual could to any gun store and buy a gun. Nice move, Mr. President who kept saying that he would restore Law and Order once he become President.
Praying and feeling sad for those who have fallen is not enough and is shallow act. The politicians must clear their conscious and stop listening to the NRA and follow their heart and the duty that they accepted to perform once they were elected to the office. The most important element of their duties is to protect the public from harm. The harm is internal and not external. No one is attacking United States, we are being attacked internally and within. It is Americans killing Americans. The young kid that killed 17 people and injuring another 14 or so was born and raised in the US by a US family. He belonged to right-wing group and had tendency to commit violence. He was not foreigner who came to the US and became naturalized.
All mass shootings in the USA are committed by the Americans who were born and raised in the USA. All being armed to the teeth. There is no reason whatsoever, for a 19 old guy having such a sophisticated, and battlefield gun with which he was able to cause so much death and destruction.
Floridians are morning again, all because someone was able to buy gun and do whatever he wanted to do. This is only happening in this country, ironically, the most democratic and free country on earth is becoming the most fearful place to live. No one seems to be safe, not in the movie theaters, concerts, schools, streets, or any other places where public gathers. This is not the way to live.
The Federal government must pass severe and harsh laws to ban guns, period. The right to live freely by far outweigh the right of a few to have guns.
If some few insist to have gun, then let's pass a law that they can have as many guns as they want so long as they keep it in the gun clubs and only do their shooting at the gun club. By doing so, no guns will be in the public and those with the gun are under control of have their guns stored at a safe and monitored place.
There is not doubt that the blood of those who have fallen at the Parkland School in Florida is on the hands of those who could do something about gun control and failed to do so. How many more innocent people are supposed to die before anything could be done to curb the gun ownership and the subsequent violence and tragedies that are followed?

'Race' Isn't an Explanation
Nothing so well illustrates that impossibility as the conviction among
otherwise sensible scholars that race 'explains' historical phenomena;
specifically, that it explains why people of African descent have been
set apart for treatment different from that accorded to others. But
race is just the name assigned to the phenomenon, which it no more
explains than judicial review 'explains' why the United States Supreme
Court can declare acts of Congress unconstitutional, or than Civil War
'explains' why Americans fought each other between 1861 and 1865.
Only if race is defined as innate and natural prejudice of colour does
its invocation as a historical explanation do more than repeat the
question by way of answer. And there an insurmountable problem
arises: since race is not genetically programmed, racial prejudice cannot
be genetically programmed either but, like race itself, must arise
historically. The most sophisticated of those who invoke race as a historical
explanation—for example, George Fredrickson and Winthrop
Jordan—recognize the difficulty. The preferred solution is to suppose
that, having arisen historically, race then ceases to be a historical phenomenon
and becomes instead an external motor of history;
according to the fatuous but widely repeated formula, it 'takes on a
life of its own'. In other words, once historically acquired, race
becomes hereditary. The shopworn metaphor thus offers camouflage
for a latter-day version of Lamarckism.

Choice and Narratives of Blackness
By illuminating the idea of black criminality in the making of modern urban America, it becomes clear that there are options in how we choose to use and interpret crime statistics. They may tell us something about the world we live in and about the people we label "criminals." But they cannot tell us everything. Far from it. For good or bad, the numbers do not speak for themselves. They never have. They have always been interpreted, and made meaningful, in a broader political, economic, and social context in which race mattered. The falsity of past claims of race-neutral crime statistics and color-blind justice should caution us against the ubiquitous referencing of statistics about black criminality today, especially given the relative silence about white criminality. The invisible layers of racial ideology packed into the statistics, sociological theories, and the everyday stories we continue to tell about crime in modern urban America are a legacy of the past. The choice about which narratives we attach to the data in the future, however, is ours to make.

Five Posts You May Have Missed in 2014
These posts didn't get as much love. Sadly, none of them is out of date.
1. Criminalization is Pretty Harmful Too
Here is some push back on the idea that decriminalization of things will lead to harms, as if criminalization isn't a massive source of harm.
Is prison harmful? Is ripping apart families harmful? Is the endemic sexual assault found in prison harmful? What about the risk of violence, or the torture of solitary confinement? Or overcrowding, or lack of medical care? How about the collateral consequences of imprisonment–unemployment, being barred from public housing, food stamps, federal education aid and a whole host of professions or voting? What about the impact on communities where many people are shuffled between prison and the neighborhood? What about the police harassment that comes with hyper-aggressive law enforcement?

2. Charter Schools' False Promise

Charter Schools' False Promise
Amidst all the debate about charter schools, one thing has often been left out. They are not delivering on what their advocates claimed they would do, as the New York Times reports:
A primary rationale for the creation of charter schools, which are publicly financed and privately run, was to develop test kitchens for practices that could be exported into the traditional schools. President Obama, in recently proclaiming "National Charter Schools Week," said they "can provide effective approaches for the broader public education system."
But two decades since the schools began to appear, educators from both systems concede that very little of what has worked for charter schools has found its way into regular classrooms. Testy political battles over space and money, including one that became glaringly public in New York State this spring, have inhibited attempts at collaboration. The sharing of school buildings, which in theory should foster communication, has more frequently led to conflict.
Now, I'd push back a bit here. Read the rest of this entry »

The Donald Sterling Supremacism No One's Talking About
Guest post by Jesse Myerson
Amid the great trove of unattractive qualities revealed to be possessed by L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling in a recently-released tape of a conversation between him and his then-girlfriend V. Stiviano, it is understandable that one should have gone underappreciated. But without taking into account his grotesque economic ideology, Sterling's segregationist Instagram doctrine and less-than-enchanting romantic life lack crucial context.
When Stiviano asks, sensibly, whether he is aware that the athletes to whom people refer when they speak of "the Clippers" are black, Sterling goes full capitalist:
I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them?.. Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners, that created the league?
What he has articulated is capital supremacy, the position that capital is prior to and independent of labor. In a for-profit operation like the L.A. Clippers, the guy who owns the capital and extracts the surplus is the one really pulling the heavy weight, and it's the athletes he employs who are living high off the league that he and his buddies created. Capitalists, far from being parasitic, are "job creators." Read the rest of this entry »

Richard Cohen, Michael Bloomberg, and the Suspiciousness of Black Men
I haven't written anything about the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin. Anything I've wanted to say directly about the case has been said far better by others. But I did want to weigh in on a tangential matter.
There was a great deal of outcry over an awful column by Richard Cohen (who has a long and undistinguished history) justifying Zimmerman's actions by insisting that Martin's wearing of a hoodie made him suspicious. [No link, but here's Ta-Nehisi Coates] That the Washington Post continues to feel that valuable column space should be taken up by Cohen tells us something important about the Post. It's perfectly understandable for people to be outraged by Cohen. But what has troubled me is the difference between the reaction to Cohen and another figure who's tried to justify such things, one who in addition is actually overseeing the policy: New York City Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg is undeniably an authoritarian. It's strange that he's perhaps best known on this score for his law limiting the size of sugary drinks (forcing those who want more to buy two instead of one, not exactly a grave threat to civil liberties to my mind). But getting beyond that, Bloomberg has overseen NYC's racist stop and frisk policy. Read the rest of this entry »

Translation Exercises (Falguni A. Sheth)
Cloaking Inequity (Julian Vasquez Heilig )


Fun illustrated early chapter book for children to explain how viruses enter the body. Anna has been hiding in waiting while inside young Henry's nose. Like her fellow adenoviruses, Anna has a round shape with spikes and is less than 200 nanometers in size. She and thousands of others like her wait for the perfect moment to travel through the air at 100 miles per hour and land on a surface like a park railing. Here they lie in wait for an unsuspecting child. Their leader, Captain Roger, calls out instructions. George places his hand on the railing; when he touches an itchy nose, the viruses seize the opportunity to slide down his larynx, hoping to eventually reach his lungs. In the meantime, Ted, who is positioned in George's Thymus valiantly calls out to his troops, the white blood cells and mucus glands to fight off the viruses. Those viruses seem to be winning the battle until George's body defenses of high fever and chills initiate a visit to the doctor, who prescribes medication and a regimen of good hygiene to defeat the invaders.
This book is richly and vividly illustrated making it a crossover between a picture and early chapter book. Parents of preschoolers might want to use it to explain what makes a child feel sick. Older children will enjoy the humor and the adventure story. Recommended especially for children ages four through ten. Good choice for libraries, doctor's waiting rooms, and classrooms.


Fortunately, the phrase caught my client's attention. Enough for him to recognize that it was his job as a leader to turn on the lights. He started dialoguing with me about how to not only turn a few lights on, but also on how to find the light switches. As we brainstormed together, he started making a list of "the lights".
I'm going to sit down with the three floor supervisors to see what non-essential work we can defer and who else we can bring on to the team temporarily.
I'll reach out to the adjusters' manager to brainstorm how we should deal with the work overload as well as how to respond to customer queries.
I need to make it a point to get out on the call centre floor more frequently to check in on my agents, so that they know that I am aware of the increased workload and appreciate their extra effort.
I'm going to arrange for sandwiches and pizza to be brought in for those who are choosing to work over the lunch hour.
I'm going to send thank you flowers and cards to the families of my staff to acknowledge the sacrifices they are making while their loved one is working these crazy overtime hours.
This is an opportunity for me to collect data to make the case for the upgraded software we've been considering for the last year.
This is an opportunity for me to gather information to support my proposal to increase our call agent headcount by two.
These were just a few of "the lights" he decided to turn on. Sure, none of them individually would take him from darkness to bright sunshine, but collectively they would brighten the surroundings and give him (and his team) hope for the eventual light at the end of the tunnel.
When it's dark, what lights can you turn on?
If you and your team are overwhelmed at work, then this is an approach worth considering. Make it your job, as the leader, to find the light switches and turn the lights on. At best, you'll be successful. At worst, you have nothing to lose.

10 Reasons to Stay at The Modern Honolulu
Johnny Jet January 22, 2014
I travel to 20+ countries a year sharing my firsthand knowledge of reward travel, travel credit card deals, travel tips and more.
I can't believe that I've been to Oahu approximately 15 times in the past 15 years. Each time I visit I usually end up hitting one of the neighboring islands first (this trip, my wife and I went to Kauai). But no matter which island I go to, I always find myself spending at least a night (or 10!) in Waikiki on the way back home.
I think that subconsciously, Oahu slowly prepares me for my return to the fast pace of the mainland. I know what you're going to say: Honolulu and Waikiki are so crowded and touristy. I know they are but I can never get enough of that view of Diamond Head and being surrounded by lush green palm trees, white sandy beaches and the crystal blue Hawaiian waters – ooh! There's something about those vistas, all the people, the shops and restaurants that excites me … and I'm not even a shopper. But I love it!
I've stayed at a wide variety of Waikiki hotels. But I had never spent the night at The Modern Honolulu. Mainly because it's not right on the ocean. However, after four nights there, I realized that was a mistake and fell in love with the place the moment I walked through my room door.
The hotel was built in 1964 as a second tower to the neighboring Ilikai Hotel. In September 2008, Marriott opened it up as an Edition Hotel with boutique hotel pioneer Ian Schrager. A few years later, in a made-for-TV drama, the hotel owners broke Marriott's 30-year management lease in the middle of an August night, and not only changed management, but the name. There was all kinds of drama but that's all been settled and it's back to being one of the premier places to stay in Waikiki.
If you're looking for a fun, chic Honolulu hotel, here are 10 reasons to choose the Modern Honolulu:
The Modern is considered an oceanview hotel, not an oceanfront one. The hotel is on the outskirts of Waikiki and that's not a bad thing. It's just far enough away (about a 25-minute walk) from Waikiki's center and its crowded beaches but only a 90-second walk down a sidewalk until your toes are in the sand. The sand closest to the Modern is part of the Hilton Hawaiian Village's family-friendly lagoon. It's an ideal spot for kids to swim and paddle board since it's shallow. However, just on the other side of the lagoon is the ocean but there are a lot of coral so it's not ideal for swimming. I suggest walking a few hundred yards down the beach if you want soft ocean sand.
As my wife pointed out on her blog, the hotel's got a great location for shopping as well. The Ala Moana Center is a 10-minute walk away and it's a shopper's paradise, featuring mostly high-end designer shops in a breezy open-air complex. There's a food court and other restaurants like Goma Tei, a ramen noodle shop that we discovered and loved (get more restaurant recommendations here LINK). There are also the shops and restaurants at the Hilton Hawaiian Village—a 10-minute walk in the other direction.
2. The rooms
The Modern has 353 rooms, including 26 oceanfront suites. We were in one of the suites and I could easily live there. The suites have two balconies, two flat screen TVs, a couch and a working desk. The rooms are an exquisite example of modern minimalism. My favorite part, besides the incredible water pressure in the shower, is that all the rooms have a colorful ukulele and three sarongs hanging on the wall. They serve as artwork but you can also use them!
3. Artwork
Besides the ukulele and sarongs, one piece of art that shouldn't be overlooked is the art installation above the check-in desk. It's a collage of broken surfboards that comes together to create a unique focal point in the lobby. It was designed by local surfer Herbie Fletcher and the piece features surfboards that were 'broken-in-action' and are all signed by the riders—including legendary surfer Kelly Slater.
4. The study
Just off the lobby, you'll find a bookcase. But come 5 pm, the hotel staff pushes it a few yards so it becomes an entryway to a speak-easy inspired bar. It's fun, classy and a bit retro.
5. Live music
Although I didn't appreciate the club music by the pool that's pumped out all day long, I did love their live musicians. Each night, they had someone playing a guitar and singing. The musicians can be found either in the Study or out by the pool bar.
6. Food
First and foremost, the hotel is home to Morimoto Waikiki. That's Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's restaurant where he creates divine dishes featuring a Hawaiian/Japanese flair. Make a reservation for a table outside just like President Obama did two nights before we dined there. I was told that the staff set up a private table along the side of the restaurant so he had privacy. He's a big raw fish kind of guy but not me. I had the ramen soup ($16) and the chicken.
The Modern also has two casual dining places called the Grove and Passageway. They are both outdoor restaurants, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Standard fare: pizzas, sandwiches and tacos. For breakfast, don't miss getting the Eggs Benedict ($16) but don't get a banana on the side or to-go as they charge $4 for a single piece of whole fruit! Tip: If you want a banana, go to one of the many ABC stores in Waikiki and stock up—they're well under $1 there.
7. Free coffee and tea station
The hotel makes up for the overpriced banana with its daily free coffee and tea station. It's set up in the lobby from 6am to 10am. The only thing it's missing is honey for tea.
8. The stars stay here
Besides President Obama eating at Morimoto's (twice on his last trip) I also spotted Reese Witherspoon at a table near us. The next day I looked at her Twitter and Instagram accounts and was shocked to see that she'd tweeted a picture of herself on the hotel balcony and that she'd tagged the hotel. Of course, I had to do a similar pose and tweet it back to her.
9. Pools
You have to love a hotel that has two pools—one for families and one for adults 21 and over. The adult pool isn't topless or anything like that—it's just a quiet retreat surrounded by soft white sand.
10. Service
I was impressed with the overall service of The Modern. Everyone I met seemed generally happy to work there and had a smile on their face. But then again, they are living in paradise.
The first Tuesday of every month is movie night at The Modern. They show a family-friendly movie out by the adults-only pool. Natalie and I watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory under the stars and a blanket since it was an unseasonably chilly January night.
The hotel has a popular nightclub open Thursday to Saturday. We missed it so I'm not sure how loud it can get.
The hotel has a small spa and their signature treatment is The Lomi Lomi Massage. Unfortunately, because of the proximity of the pool, they have to play the mustic quite loudly to drown out the noise.
The hotel's common areas have a beautiful fragrance and we later learned that the aroma is plumeria and the scent is specially manufactured for the Modern Honolulu.
Yabu Pushelberg was the design architect firm. They also designed the new Four Seasons Toronto and the St. Regis San Francisco.

FROM Bolton to Hollywood — director Danny Boyle will be hoping to scoop not one but two awards at the Golden Globes tomorrow.
The former Thornleigh Salesian College pupil has been nominated in the Best Director category while his latest film, Slumdog Millionaire, is up for Best Film.
And Thornleigh head teacher Alison Burrowes had a message of support for the ex-pupil.
"We're absolutely thrilled that someone who came to Thornleigh is doing so well, and we wish him all the luck in the world for the awards," she said.
The awards, widely seen as a good indicator for the Oscars, will take place at the Beverley Hilton hotel in California.
Boyle will be up against fellow Brits Sam Mendes and Stephen Daldry for Revolutionary Road and The Reader respectively.
Americans David Fincher and Ron Howard have also been nominated for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon.
The same titles make up the entries for the Best Film category. Boyle is strong favourite to win both awards, with some bookmakers slashing his odds to 11/10.
The 52-year-old was born in Radcliffe, and is still a keen supporter of Bury football club.
He made his directorial debut in 1995 with the black comedy, Shallow Grave, following it up with the smash hit, Trainspotting.
Slumdog Millionaire, the story of a poverty-stricken boy who wins big-time on India's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, was released in the UK yesterday.
The film has already picked up five Critics' Choice awards in California this week, including Best Picture.

Suspect in NYC officer's death pleads not guilty
A man accused of shoving a New York City police officer to his death during a domestic violence call has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
NEW YORK – A man accused of shoving a New York City police officer to his death during a domestic violence call has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
George Villanueva (vee-YAH'-nweh-vah) was arraigned in Brooklyn on Thursday. He is being held without bail in the death of Officer Alain Schaberger.
The policeman fell 9 feet and broke his neck while responding to a 911 call from Villanueva's girlfriend last month. She said he had threatened to kill her.
Villanueva's attorney says the officer lost his footing because he was knocked by another officer.
Prosecutors say Villanueva violated at least four restraining orders that called for him to leave his girlfriend alone. He was also indicted on charges including assault.

In critical theory, sociology, and psychoanalysis, the gaze (translated from French le regard) is the act of seeing and being seen.
Numerous existentialists and phenomenologists have addressed the concept of gaze beginning with Jean-Paul Sartre. Foucault elaborated on gaze to illustrate a particular dynamic in power relations and disciplinary mechanisms in his Discipline and Punish. Derrida also elaborated on the relations of animals and humans via the gaze in The Animal That Therefore I Am. The concept of a male gaze was originally theorized by feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey, and has since been applied to many other forms of media and technology, such as advertisements, the work space, and video games.
In psychoanalysis
In Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, it is the anxious state that comes with the awareness that one can be viewed. The psychological effect, Lacan argues, is that the subject loses a degree of autonomy upon realizing that he or she is a visible object. This concept is bound with his theory of the mirror stage, in which a child encountering a mirror realizes that he or she has an external appearance. Lacan suggests that this gaze effect can similarly be produced by any conceivable object such as a chair or a television screen. This is not to say that the object behaves optically as a mirror; instead it means that the awareness of any object can induce an awareness of also being an object.
It has also been called an aspect of one of the "most powerful human forces"; that is, "the meeting of the face and the gaze" because "Only there do we exist for one another."
Systems of power and the gaze
Michel Foucault first used the term "medical gaze" in The Birth of the Clinic to explain the process of medical diagnosis, power dynamics between doctors and patients, and the hegemony of medical knowledge in society. He elaborated on the gaze to illustrate a particular dynamic in power relations and disciplinary mechanisms in his Discipline and Punish, such as surveillance and the function of related disciplinary mechanisms and self-regulation in a prison or school as an apparatus of power.
The gaze is not something one has or uses; rather, it is the relationship into which someone enters. As Marita Sturken and Lisa Cartwright write in Practices of Looking, "The gaze is integral to systems of power and ideas about knowledge." Three main concepts that Foucault introduced are panopticism, power/knowledge, and biopower. These concepts all address self-regulation under systems of surveillance. This refers to how people modify their behaviour under the belief that they are constantly being watched even if they cannot directly see who or what is watching them. This possible surveillance, whether real or unreal, has self-regulating effects.
The male gaze
In her 1975 essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, Laura Mulvey introduced the second-wave feminist concept of "male gaze" as a feature of gender power asymmetry in film. The concept was present in earlier studies of the gaze,[specify] but it was Mulvey who brought it to the forefront. Mulvey stated that women were objectified in film because heterosexual men were in control of the camera. Hollywood films played to the models of voyeurism and scopophilia. The concept has subsequently been influential in feminist film theory and media studies.
The feminine gaze
In Judith Butler's 1990 book Gender Trouble, she proposed the idea of the feminine gaze as a way in which men choose to perform their masculinity by using women as the ones who force men into self-regulation.
Imperial gaze
E. Ann Kaplan has introduced the post-colonial concept of the imperial gaze, in which the observed find themselves defined in terms of the privileged observer's own set of value-preferences. From the perspective of the colonised, the imperial gaze infantilizes and trivializes what it falls upon, asserting its command and ordering function as it does so.
Kaplan comments: "The imperial gaze reflects the assumption that the white western subject is central much as the male gaze assumes the centrality of the male subject."
The oppositional gaze
In her 1992 essay titled "The Oppositional Gaze: Black Female Spectatorship", bell hooks counters Laura Mulvey's notion of the (male) gaze by introducing the oppositional gaze of Black women. This concept exists as the reciprocal of the normative white spectator gaze. As Mulvey's essay contextualizes the (male) gaze and its objectification of white women, hooks essay opens "oppositionality a key paradigm in the feminist analysis of the 'gaze' and of scopophilic regimes in Western culture".
The oppositional gaze remains a critique of rebellion due to the sustained and deliberate misrepresentation of Black women in cinema as characteristically Mammy, Jezebel or Sapphire.
Postcolonial gaze
First referred to by Edward Said as "orientalism", the term "post-colonial gaze" is used to explain the relationship that colonial powers extended to people of colonized countries. Placing the colonized in a position of the "other" helped to shape and establish the colonial's identity as being the powerful conqueror, and acted as a constant reminder of this idea. The postcolonial gaze "has the function of establishing the subject/object relationship… it indicates at its point of emanation the location of the subject, and at its point of contact the location of the object". In essence, this means that the colonizer/colonized relationship provided the basis for the colonizer's understanding of themselves and their identity. The role of the appropriation of power is central to understanding how colonizers influenced the countries that they colonized, and is deeply connected to the development of post-colonial theory. Utilizing postcolonial gaze theory allows formerly colonized societies to overcome the socially constructed barriers that often prohibit them from expressing their true cultural, social, economic, and political rights.
The international gaze The international gaze is the term used to describe the Neo Liberal and globalising manifestation of the imperial,- / post-colonial gaze. Both latter terms are helpful in defining the dominated status of developing countries. However, the international gaze offers a way of understanding how internationalism, seemingly neutral and optimistic in outlook, is deeply rooted in a discourse of advantage and power. It inculcates an implicit assumption of dominance by those empowered to be international, whilst obviating the innate power relations. This term is first used by A. Gardner-McTaggart (2018) in International Capital, International Schools, Leadership and Christianity
The male tourist gaze
The tourism image is created through cultural and ideological constructions and advertising agencies that have been male dominated. What is represented by the media assumes a specific type of tourist: white, Western, male, and heterosexual, privileging the gaze of the "master subject" over others. This is the representation of the typical tourist because those behind the lens, the image, and creators are predominantly male, white, and Western. Those that do not fall into this category are influenced by its supremacy. Through these influences female characteristics such as youth, beauty, sexuality, or the possession of a man are desirable while the prevalence of stereotypes consisting of submissive and sensual women with powerful "macho" men in advertising are projected.
Definitions in film theory
The look is characterized by who is looking (observer):
The viewer's gaze: that in which the viewer, analogously the reader (s) of the text.
The Intra- diegetic look: in a text, a character uses the look through an object or another character in the text.
The Extra-diegetic look: a textual character consciously addresses (observes) the viewer, eg in the theater, an aside; in the cinema, recognition of a fourth wall, the spectator.
The look of the camera: it is the look of the film director.
The editorial look: emphasis on the textual aspect, eg a photograph, clipping and legend below direct the reader (s) to a specific person, place or object within the text.
Theorists Gunther Kress and Theo van Leeuwen suggest that the gaze is a relationship between the offer and demand of the gaze: the indirect gaze is the spectator's offer, where the audience begins observing the subject, without realizing that it is being observed; the direct gaze is the subject's demand to be observed.
The Privilege of the Male Tourist Gaze
The image of tourism is created by cultural and ideological constructions and by agencies that have been dominated by men. What is represented by the media assumes a specific type of tourist: Caucasian, Western, male and heterosexual, privileging the gaze of the "master subject" over others. 9 This is the representation of a typical tourist because behind the lens and image, the creators are predominantly men, Caucasians, and Westerners. Those who do not fall within this category have been influenced by this supremacy. Through such influences, feminine characteristics such as youth, the beauty, the sexuality or the possession of a man become desirable, while the stereotypes that consist of a submissive and sensual woman with a powerful "macho" man created by advertising prevail.
The privileged signs and fantasies within the tourist marketing are regularly oriented to exclusively heterosexual men. Women and sexual images are used to show the "exotic" nature of a destination within the airline that takes you there, and sometimes it becomes the main reason for the visit. These representations of gender and heterosexuality have turned women into erotic beings, comforts that are there to be experienced.
In the visual arts
In the visual arts, sculpture, painting, photography, cinema, etc., the eye is an important element of portraits, self-portraits and close-ups of the face and the representation of relationships between different characters and / or their environment.
In religions
Eyes on top of a kumbum in Tibet.
In many religions, God "sees" the interior of man, brings visions, where the prayers' gaze on the world is important (eyes painted on the summit of the Kumbum of Gyantsé, Tibet). According to the interpretations, a "third eye" would represent the inner gaze, or the Ajna chakra, or the pineal gland
