Mental-health issues are a leading cause of employee health, productivity and absence issues. Employers are often the first-line of assistance in helping workers and their dependents receive the care they need.
This column is not the one I planned for you to read today. A computer-system update gone wrong drove me to write a new post on a different topic (since my electronic notes perished as well). But I'd like to believe I would have asked my editors to allow me to switch topics at the last minute even if this didn't happen.
Why? Because on July 20, Chester Bennington, the ferociously talented lead singer for the rock band Linkin Park, committed suicide. The act was made more poignant since it's thought Bennington mimicked the recent death of a close friend, singer Chris Cornell, on what would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday.
Bennington wasn't alone in his desperation. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, approximately 121 people in the United States died by the same method that day -- and 3,025 people attempted suicide.
In an interesting comparison, Ian Bridgman of The Claim Lab indicates that in Canada (where long-term-disability policies do not carry a 24-month-mental-health limitation) mental-health diagnoses are the No. 1 cause of employee absences lasting more than three months.
Given all this information, I find myself reflecting upon whether I've done enough to reach people who struggle with depression or anxiety disorders -- or, as importantly -- HR leaders who can make a difference every day in employees' lives.
While I share a great deal of information about mental health via social media channels, I realized the last time I covered the topic here was in 2011. That column was in response to the Screen Actors Guild abandoning mental-health benefits for its members (and the information contained within is still relevant).
I doubt I've saved or comforted a single soul by posting the phone number for the suicide-prevention hotline on my Facebook wall or in my Twitter or LinkedIn feed, and something similar can be said about companies that simply offer an employee-assistance program and consider the topic addressed.
So, what's an HR executive supposed to do about the workplace and mental health?
* Build a safe and comfortable space where employees can share any issues, regardless of whether they are related to mental health.
* Reflect on how your company's values support this safe space for your employees -- one in six of whom is taking a psychiatric drug for a mental health issue.
* Provide paid leave for mental and physical health issues -- traditional sick leave, salary continuation, paid time off or short-term disability.
* Take time to express gratitude to your employees.
* Offer flexible work arrangements.
* Educate staff through training programs such as Mental Health First Aid at Work to increase understanding and supportive behaviors about mental health in the workplace.
* Consider providing a more generous bereavement policy for employees. Two or three days of paid leave is barely enough time for a worker to bury a loved one, never mind recover from the experience.
* Keep in mind that your employees are also affected when a loved one is suffering from mental-health issues. Contemplate ways to assist employees, especially if a dependent dies by suicide.
* If your company offers an EAP, stay updated on the utilization rate. I led a research project on the impact of employee assistance programs on absence and return-to-work rates. We found the only time EAP made a statistically significant difference on the length of an employee absence was when the overall company utilization rate was over 10 percent.
Mental-health issues are pervasive throughout the U.S. and global populations. Employers, and HR leaders, can and should step up to be an effective first line of assistance to the nation's workforce.

Oksana Ivanenková, také Oxana Ivanenko (Oksana Dmytrivna Ivanenko, rusky Оксана Дмитриeвнa Іваненко, ukrajinsky Оксана Дмитрівна Іваненко; 31. března 1906 Poltava – 17. prosince 1997 Kyjev) byla ukrajinská a sovětská spisovatelka knih pro děti a překladatelka.

Život
Narodila se jako dcera právníka, novináře a spisovatele Dmitrije Alexejeviče Ivanenka (1859-1943), který patřil k ukrajinským národním obrozencům. Psal pod různými pseudonymy, redigoval časopis Poltavské gubernijní vědomosti a zahynul při válečné evakuaci ve Sverdlovsku. Oksanin bratr Dmitrij Dmitrijevič Ivanenko (1904-1994) se stal teoretickým fyzikem a přednášel na Lomonosovově univerzitě v Moskvě.

Po studiu gymnázia v Poltavě nastoupila k povinné převýchově do jednoroční dělnické školy a odtud v roce 1922 do Poltavského ústavu veřejného vzdělávání.
V roce 1926 absolvovala fakultu sociální výchovy pedagogického institutu v Charkově, v roce 1931 ukončila postgraduální studium v Ukrajinském výzkumném ústavu pedagogickém, dále vedla sekci dětské literatury v kyjevské pobočce institutu. Několik let byla učitelkou v dětské kolonii Maxima Gorkého pod vedením A. S. Makarenka.
V letech 1932–1939 pracovala v kyjevském nakladatelství literatury pro děti "Molodyj Bilšovik", v letech 1947–1951 v časopise pro nejmenší čtenáře "Barvinok". Dále působila ve svobodném povolání.

Byla pohřbena na Bajkovově hřbitově v Kyjevě.

Její dcera Valerija Volodymyrovna Ivanenková (1926-1968) byla také spisovatelkou knih pro děti a překladatelkou.

Dílo
Psala a publikovala časopisecky od roku 1925, první knížku vydala roku 1940. Nejoblíbenější zůstávají její pohádky pro děti předškolního a raného školního věku s tematikou zvířat. Ostatní tvorba byla spjata s pracovním prostředím Makarenkovy školy, a tak poněkud zatížena socialistickým realismem. Do češtiny bylo v letech 1954–1974 přeloženo pět knih, populární zůstávají:
 Pohádky lesa
 Slaměný býček
 Tarasovy cesty

Psala ukrajinsky, překládala z němčiny, z dánštiny (např. originály Andersenových pohádek) a z ruštiny.

The heat index is a number on the mind of more and more high school football coaches.
With temperatures and heat indices in the state reaching into the upper 90s and 100s, respectively, in the past two weeks, football coaches around the state are trying to identify the best times and ways to get their players in condition for the start of the season.
When state schools and football teams reconvene Aug. 3 for the 2009-10 school year, coaches might have another item to consider.
The National Athletic Trainers'' Association recommended last week that high school football teams should eliminate two-a-day practices in the first week of August drills when heat stroke has proven particularly deadly.
The trainers'' group issued its opinion in a report issued less in advance of what could be the hottest part of the summer, which just so happens to be when football teams across the country are getting back into gear for another season.
The NATA recommended teams take longer breaks between practice and give players more time to ease into contact drills.
It pointed to the death of a 15-year-old Kentucky boy last August after he collapsed during practice. Prosecutors charged his coach with reckless homicide in an unusual case of a coach being held criminally responsible for a player''s death.
"Things aren''t going very well at the high school level. We''ve had a couple very bad years," said Douglas Casa, director of athletic training education at the University of Connecticut and co-author of the report for the Dallas-based association. "This wasn''t done for the convenience of coaches."
Each state''s governing body for high school athletics will decide how its schools follow the recommendations.
Dr. Ennis Proctor, executive director of the Mississippi High School Activities Association, told The Clarion Ledger in Jackson last week that the Mississippi High School Activities Association already has guidelines in place to help prevent heat-related injuries or deaths.
"I can understand why they would recommend that because the safety of the players and coaches should come first," Proctor told The Clarion Ledger. "We''re going to take every precaution."
Mike Wilkinson, a veteran athletic trainer who chairs the MHSAA''s sports medicine advisory committee, told The Clarion Ledger the committee suggested to the MHSAA twice in the past four years to get rid of two-a-days.
Wilkinson said up to 85 percent of heat-related deaths happen during the first week or 10 days of practice.
"... Kids spend so much time now indoors," Wilkinson said. "It''s not like the days when kids were outside all the time, so now they are not as acclimatized to the heat. And that''s a critical part of conditioning. You can be in great shape, but nothing can replace acclimatization."
Three area football coaches said they don''t use two-a-days and that the start of the school year to coincide with the first day of football practices makes it difficult for coaches to use that method of practice.
"I wouldn''t think (using two-a-days) would be productive and it would not be something we would do," Columbus coach Bubba Davis said. "Even practicing one time a day you still have to be real careful."
Davis said greater emphasis has been placed on taking care of players in the past 10 years. He said coaches frowned on players taking water breaks when he played. He said that mind-set changed slowly and is to the point today when he and other coaches have to force their players to drink water all of the time to ensure they are properly hydrated.
And with less and less time once school starts to prepare for the first game of the season, Davis said the players need to do more conditioning, running, and weightlifting in the summer to make sure they are ready for the heat of August.
"So far our kids have responded well and we have been very, very pleased with them," Davis said. "We are working real hard in the weight room. We also are doing a lot of running. Ninety-eight percent are pushing themselves to get better. They aren''t fighting us like they did last year, so we think we''re where we need to be right now."
New Hope High coach Michael Bradley agreed that coaches in Lowndes County and in the state really don''t have much opportunity to hold two-a-day practices. He said he hasn''t used two-a-days since he has been at New Hope High but that they are good ways to help coaches build work ethic, togetherness, and team unity.
Bradley said the Trojans try to build that team chemistry in the offseason with work in the weight room and in conditioning drills. He said those things take commitment from the players, which can be difficult to secure in the "offseason."
"The heat is not any different now than it has been for the past 100 years," Bradley said. "The difference is kids today are living in an air conditioner and watching TV too much in the summertime. If you have a good summer program getting used to the heat will not be a problem."
Noxubee County coach M.C. Miller, whose team has played for the Class 4A state title the past two years, said he is in favor of not having two-a-days. He said his team has stayed busy in the "offseason" by attending numerous 7-on-7 passing camps, which has helped his skill-position players stay in shape.
As for the rest of his team, Miller said he and his assistant coaches do their best to keep the weight room at the school open so players can lift weights as often as they can.
Miller said the heat and the desire to maintain Noxubee County''s football tradition have helped motivate the Tigers to work hard in the spring and in the summer to prepare themselves for the fall.
"It is a lot easier now when you''re winning because the kids want to participate more and the community wants to get behind you a little more," said Miller, whose team won the state championship last season. "The kids are working a little harder. We''re not going to get all of them to do it, but we get the majority of them to do it. To maintain a winning tradition you have to do what you have been doing and a little more because you can''t stop everything you have to do it harder because everyone wants to get you."
Since 1995, at least 39 football players across all levels have died from heat-related causes and most of those cases happened in early August, said Dr. Frederick Mueller, director of the National Center for Catastrophic Injury Research at the University of North Carolina.
At least 42 states have some sort of heat illness-prevention guidelines, said David Csillan, an athletic trainer at Ewing High School in Ewing, N.J., and report co-author. He said the recommendations put forth are geared toward better acclimating high school students across all sports to the heat.

The walls are closing in on Clearview AI
The controversial face recognition company was just fined $10 million for scraping UK faces from the web. That might not be the end of it.

Controversial facial recognition company Clearview AI has been fined almost $10 million by the UK's data protection watchdog for collecting the faces of UK citizens from the web and social media. The firm was also ordered to delete all of the data it holds on UK citizens.
The move by the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the latest in a string of high-profile fines against the company as data protection authorities around the world eye tougher restrictions on its practices.
The ICO found that Clearview AI had been in breach of data protection laws, collected personal data without people's consent, and asked for additional information, such as photos, when people asked if they were in the database. It found that this may have "acted as a disincentive" for people who objected to their data being scraped.
"The company not only enables identification of those people, but effectively monitors their behaviour and offers it as a commercial service. That is unacceptable," said John Edwards, the UK's information commissioner, in a statement.
Clearview AI boasts one of the world's largest databases of people's faces, with 20 billion images that it has scraped off the internet from publicly available sources, such as social media, without their consent. Clients such as police departments pay for access to the database to look for matches.
Data protection authorities around the Western world have found this to be a clear violation of privacy and are now beginning to work together to clamp down. Edwards stressed that "international cooperation is essential to protect people's privacy rights in 2022" and is due to meet with European regulators in Brussels this week. The UK's investigation into Clearview AI was carried out jointly with the Australian information commissioner.
The NYPD used a controversial facial recognition tool. Here's what you need to know.
Newly-released emails show New York police have been widely using the controversial Clearview AI facial recognition system—and making misleading statements about it.
Earlier this year, Italian data protection authorities fined Clearview AI €20 million ($21 million) for breaching data protection rules. Authorities in Australia, Canada, France, and Germany have reached similar conclusions.
Even in the US, which does not have a federal data protection law, Clearview AI is facing increasing scrutiny. Earlier this month the ACLU won a major settlement that restricts Clearview from selling its database across the US to most businesses. In the state of Illinois, which has a law on biometric data, Clearview AI cannot sell access to its database to anyone, even the police, for five years.
According to Silkie Carlo, who is the director of UK-based digital rights group Big Brother Watch, the ICO's decision "effectively stops Clearview from operating in the UK," she said on Twitter.
Carlo added that the decision "should be a nail in the coffin for facial recognition" and called for UK lawmakers to ban facial recognition surveillance.
Europe is working on an AI law that could ban the use of "real-time" remote biometric identification systems, such as facial recognition, in public places. The current drafting of the text restricts the use of facial recognition by law enforcement unless it is to fight serious crimes, such as terrorism or kidnappings.
There is a possibility that the EU will go further. The EU's influential data protection watchdogs have called for the bill to ban not only remote biometric identification in public, but the police use of web-scraped databases, such as Clearview AI's.
"Clearview AI is fast becoming so toxic that no credible law enforcement agency or public authority or other company will want to work with them," says Ella Jakubowska, who works on facial recognition and biometrics for European Digital Rights, a digital rights group.
Hoan Ton-That, Clearview AI's CEO, said he is disappointed the ICO has "misinterpreted my technology and intentions."
"We collect only public data from the open internet and comply with all standards of privacy and law," he said in a statement that was sent to MIT Technology Review.
"I would welcome the opportunity to engage in conversation with leaders and lawmakers so the true value of this technology which has proven so essential to law enforcement can continue to make communities safe," he added.

"…One of the areas that the MDG's largely overlooked was nutrition. Yet, good nutrition underpins the achievement of almost every development goal — from reducing child mortality and boosting maternal health, to lifting people out of poverty by enabling them to attend school and earn a living. … We can eliminate malnutrition. And, I believe that it's possible to do so by 2030. Ambitious targets and a common vision are a great start. But, to fix the food system we need a framework that drives stakeholders to work together, regardless of their differences. In the post-2015 world all actors must play their part if we are to reach the goal of ending malnutrition within our lifetimes" (8/18).


Katerina King, Director of Fellowships at Williams has just told EphBlog that Newton Davis '12 has been selected as a 2011 Truman Scholar. Davis is one of 60 selected from 196 college junior finalists representing 134 colleges and universities.
Madeleine K. Albright, president of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, made the announcement today. The scholars were elected by seventeen independent selection panels on the basis of leadership potential, intellectual ability, and likelihood of 'making a difference.' The original pool of applicants for the prestigious awards numbered 602.
to provide them with financial support for graduate study, leadership training, and fellowship with other students who are committed to making a difference through public service.
And thank you to Katarina King for providing the guidance to our Williams students that helps them have their exceptional talents recognized.
A more detailed story here.
As Eph '11 pointed out on Speak Up!, admissions decisions are out. Congratulations to all those who are now considering joining the Williams College Class of 2015 — you have the opportunity to spend the next four years at the finest undergraduate institution in America.
I am the mother of two Ephs, Class of '12 and '15!!! Congratulations Cody on your admission to Williams College!
Accepted to Brown and Williams, today!
YAY, I GOT INTO WILLIAMS COLLEGE!
Admitted to Williams College — definitely the best reason for an excited, all-caps tweet!
I know this is an old post, but I just discovered this remarkable woman during a course on American Legal History, and her connection to Williams does appear to be credible.
Later, when a Colonel Eli Bronson attempted to steal land owned by the Princes, the case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court. Lucy argued against two of the leading lawyers in the state, one of whom later became chief justice of Vermont — and she won. Samuel Chase, the presiding justice of the Court, said that her argument was better than he'd heard from any Vermont lawyer.
Like many stories that are "too good to fact-check," credulous journalists and historians have perpetuated the legend of Lucy Terry Prince, who never argued a case before the U.S. Supreme Court and Justice Chase, and probably never argued for her son's admission to Williams College. And it's somewhat unfortunate: the myth of Lucy Terry Prince has obscured a remarkable true story, chronicled through painstaking research in the recent Mr. and Mrs. Prince: How an Extraordinary Eighteenth Century Family Moved Out of Slavery and Into Legend.
Chad Orzel '93 on the job market for physicists.
It's not clear from this report what the increasing fraction of new Ph.D. physicists with potentially permanent jobs are doing. This will presumably be in the forthcoming report on initial employment of Ph.D.'s. If it reflects an increasing acceptance that the pursuit of a tenured professorship is not the only acceptable career for a physicist, that's probably to the good.
Unless, of course, they're going into finance. Interestingly, the only period in the dataset where permanent positions outnumbered postdocs lines up pretty well with the years of the dotcom boom, when anybody with technical skills could get wheelbarrows full of cash on Wall St.. Which led directly to the breaking of the world economy when the finance industry went nuts on complicated ways of hiding insanely risky investments. This was not a positive development, to put it mildly.
1) Most of the physicists that I know in finance seems as happy with their career choices as Orzel is with his. Why the hate?
2) I do not think (contrary opinions welcome!) that Orzel is joking. He really thinks that it is a bad idea for a physicist to work on Wall Street. Why? Does Orzel really know enough about other people's hopes and preferences to offer informed judgment on the choices that they are making? I doubt it.
3) A professor who thinks that it is easy for "anybody with technical skills" to "get wheelbarrows full of cash on Wall St." has never worked on Wall Street.

The Office for Information Technology in Jesup works very closely with the Communications Office in Hopkins. Together they can determine and implement a strategy to help Williams become "a best in class web presence for the college".
Terrific that the Help Wanted sign has appeared in the Jesup window. This is an exciting opportunity for the individual and a much needed and desired goal for Williams.
Williams College is searching for an experienced, energetic, proactive Web Developer to help its Web Operations team build and evolve a best in class web presence for the college. The full-time position requires strong PHP coding skills that will contribute to building highly functional tools for web publishing. While the ability to produce well structured, documented and secure code is central to this position, it also incorporates key elements of user interface design and involves some familiarity with network systems administration.
Web Operations at Williams is a cross functional team that works closely together in highly collaborative and positive environment. Candidates must be adept at working with other members of the Web Operations team on the collegeâ??s CMS (WordPress). In addition, the Web Developer needs to manage time effectively with minimal supervision, to accurately scope project components as well as to ensure that project components are delivered on time.

Crazy U – One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His Kid Into College, cont'd.
In our last post, we considered Andy Ferguson's interaction with the college admissions process. In this section, we take up why-in-the-hell college costs so much, or what my guy calls the "Unanswered Question." Actually, it has been answered – and by an Eph!
But get this – the theory that schools simply sop up federal student aid in the form of higher tuition (i.e., the ANSWER to the so-called Unanswered Question) is known as the "Bennett Hypothesis." That would be William Bennett '65, who gave the Baccalaureate address at my graduation. So it was an Eph who, in 1987, discovered the cause of skyrocketing tuition and told the world about it in the New York Times, which is prolly why the Fergunator never heard of it.
For me, this was the best part of the book, by far. We meet Prof. Richard Vedder, distinguished professor of economics at Ohio University, to whom Ferguson put the "Unanswered Question," whereupon Vedder gave a positively show-stopping performance.
So there you have it – Williams costs so much because David and hwc are shaking down Adam Falk for a good football team. I can't believe I didn't see that before.
Our family was an instant case. My wife and I couldn't afford to send our son to Georgetown, by any rational measure. But that wasn't going to stop me if he got in. I was going to borrow against savings or the value of my house, or, if we got lucky, I'd hold out my hat to catch a grant or a subsidized loan tossed down by the gods of financial aid. There are thousands of parents like us. . .
As for me (I caught myself unconsciously nodding in agreement as I read these lines) I think Andy nails it. Sending your kid to college has always been a part of the American Dream – and while the rising sticker price may or may not have turned it into a dumb idea financially, there is simply no way that those of us who have already lived it are going to tell our kids that they can't.
Allow me to introduce my pal, Andy Ferguson. He's a senior editor at The Weekly Standard, and a former speech writer for George H. W. Bush. We haven't actually met, but I know him inside and out because he reveals so much of himself in his book, and I like him a lot. He looks a little (intentionally, is my guess) like a kinder, gentler Mark Twain. He's a man of letters, but he's no fancy pants – just a feller telling some (scathingly funny) stories over a beer or five. And I can tell he gets me – he certainly knows where I do my reading. The fundamental unit of organization of this nice little book is the amusing anecdote, and he considerately puts a blank line between each one so that the reader can easily see how far it is till the next good stopping point. And unlike the big "insiders" catalogues, which annoy Andy because they deliver information perfectly suited for bathroom reading, but in hopelessly unwieldy, phone book-like bindings, this book is comfortable to hold in one hand, and stays open reliably on your lap. Bathroom tested, bathroom approved.
And in a chapter called "Obsolescence Descending," Ferguson, who writes essays for a living, recounts how he was reduced to consulting Google for help in editing his son's admissions essay.
Ed note: Thank you, Sr Mom, for donating your time and energy to this interview. It is a pleasure to have Will Slack back on this blog and enlightening to be able to hear his thoughts as he prepares for the next step of life outside the bubble.
As Sr Mom requests, perhaps readers have memories, specific suggestions, or direct contacts to add to the quest that many are beginning. If so, we might be able to offer an on-line extension of the alumni networks' already-extant helpline.
Several hundred graduating ephs are in the process of looking for jobs. We all know it isn't easy, especially now. I think starting a dialogue about it, could be beneficial. In my opinion, EB is an un-explored source in that regard. With that in mind, I asked Will Slack if he would be willing to participate. He agreed and we came up with this simple Q & A.
Please jump into the conversation in whatever way strikes your fancy. Tell us how it was for you. Whether it's support, advice, suggestions, or anecdotes, there are a lot of ephs who could benefit from what you have to say. And to other current seniors, we would welcome hearing from you as well, either in comments, or in a full post.
My questions are in bold, with Will's answers in italics.
Williams has been very good at showing me what I'm good at (listening to people, making decisions responsibly, enabling people to pursue their goals, learning the intricacies of an organization and leveraging that knowledge for good, helping people, keeping secrets) and what I'm bad at (stepping back and getting perspective during moments of focus, saying what I mean without communication foul-ups, stressing out about keeping secrets). Unfortunately, none of this points to a clear career path.
At the present moment I want to end up doing some sort of governmental work. I believe that technology offers a huge opportunity to increase efficiency and reduce the costs of governmental administration, but only if those policies are pursued with intelligence, and I want to be someone who raises different ideas and possibilities that allow our governments to do a better, cheaper job, especially for a citizen with a grievance but little institutional knowledge of the body s/he must appeal to.

Apologies for the disruption. We expect a small outage of approximately 10-20 minutes to create a base backup image after 1 am US EST tonight, and a small series of short outages during non-peak times to accomplish further infrastructural tasks later in the week.
Users with authorial and administrative privileges should note that there are a series of minor issues which we expect to resolve shortly.
This represents the end of a yearly maintenance cycle, and a moment of Passover. We bid fond goodbye to the "Jaunty Jackalope," which has servered us well in the past year. Due to advances in the underlying systems architecture, we do not anticipate further transitional outages of this nature in the future.
Interesting article about Williams and the NCAA by Adam Bloch '06 from several years ago.
NCAA grouping – a Division 4.
Attention PTC: Your comments needed!
The transition from a handful of major employers to a more diverse base isn't unique to a largely rural area such as the Berkshires, Sheppard said.
Canyon Ranch, one of three successful health spas bearing the name, uses the wonderful old Lenox MA estate built in 1899 for Giraud Foster designed by Carrere and Hastings.
For those decisions that people have made many times—like renting an apartment—we suggest that decision makers should be on the lookout for thinking too little: 'Are the attributes I have grown accustomed to using to evaluate the apartments I rented in New York the correct attributes to being to bear when renting in San Francisco?', because using prior rules may lead people astray when environments differ by too great an extent. And for decisions made for the first time—such as getting married—people may be tempted to go with their gut feeling, asking, 'Is this my soul mate?', when it may be better to bring at least a minimum level of decision analysis to bear, asking 'Do we share the same attitudes towards spending money?', for example, an important predictor of relationship satisfaction.
This article by John Fea reports an interesting side of this remarkable Williams president just studied in our Winter Break.
For us older boys, required chapel was a part of our life and the no-cuts system (if you were on no-cuts). Attendance was taken, any place of religious worship was accepted. Not too long before the easy-going of the '50's, daily attendance was the mode.
I recognize that Hopkins' influence on the life of the college has diminished in daily detail in the decades since his presidency. Still, I wonder if readers can see any remnants of the particular belief in the ethos of Williams today?
At the Sixth General Conference of the Evangelical Alliance, which brought evangelical Christians from all over the world to New York City in on October 2,1873, … Reverend Mark Hopkins, the former president of Williams College, urged the federal government to pass laws protecting the observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday). Hopkins argued that the Fourth Commandment ("Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy") should be embedded in American law in much the same way that commandments prohibiting murder, stealing, and "bearing false witness" were staples of the legal system.
If that was not enough to convince naysayers, Hopkins emphasized Jesus' words in Mark 2:27—"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath"—to argue that the human body was created by God in such a way that it required a day of rest. "Men and animals," Hopkins wrote, "will have a better health and live longer; will do more work, and do it better, if they rest one day in seven, than if they work continuously." Since rest was a human right endowed by God, how could a nation with Christian roots not endorse the Sabbath?
This seemed particularly apt for this Sunday morning. While no sermon will be given on the blog, attendance will be taken! dcat … this means you!
According to my arbitrary but inflexible standard, an Eph has become truly successful if and only if I hear about his/her success through a non-Williams channel. Since I am not that well-informed, this sets the bar pretty high. For example, in the world of music, truly successful Ephs include Stephen Sondheim, the Fountains of Wayne guys, Timothy Sellers of Artichoke … and, well, that was about it until yesterday, when I opened my Oasis Childrens [sic] Volume XI #1 Radio Sampler and discovered that the closing track was "Belly Buttons" by Alistair Moock '95. This is from his latest CD, the (Williams-inspired?) A Cow Says Moock.
About a year ago, when it was time for the snow shoes to come off, I reviewed the types of shoes to be found sockless in Williamstown in the '50's.
Now look at the sole survivors present in the pre-teens of the XXI century!
Michael's . . . is advertised for sale at a price of $425,000 through the real estate company Alton and Westall. Michael Nikitas, who helps operate the restaurant with his sister and owner Cindy Nikitas, confirmed Thursday that the business is for sale but refused to elaborate….
Hobson's Choice is also advertised for sale for $495,000 but owner Daniel Campbell said he does not expect to close it. Campbell, who has been running the restaurant for 20 years, is looking for a new business partner after his former one left the establishment. "We're testing the waters. I'd rather not sell it," Campbell said.
Both restaurants were Williamstown mainstays when I arrived more than 15 years ago, and have been ever since. According to the restaurant's website, Michael's was opened as an A&W Root Beer stand by the original Pappa Charlie's owners, and has been "Michael's" since 1984.
But there's good news on the Williamstown restaurant scene, too. A new upscale eatery, Hops and Vines, is coming to the former location of Mezze. A formal announcement is expected shortly.
Back in the day, we used to be able to rack up quite a few miles on family car trips trying to come up with Tom Swifties.
1) As a solution to academic-athletic tension: "Sirloin Tips," Tom proposed modestly.
2) "Wanna try my f@#*-saw?" asked the sexhibitionist? "Oh, come off it!" reciprocated Morty.

Note the membership of the Terrible 22. Where are they now? Nick Wright '57 lives in Williamstown and is a friend of EphBlog. The Record ought to interview him and his fellows. More than 50 years later, what do they think?
Comments Off on Where Are They Now?
We blew another big lead, but why? We shot so well during the first half (65%; 50% on 3s) that it was unrealistic to expect it would continue for the whole game. But the drop-off after intermission was pretty severe (37%; 22%) and not all of that can be attributed to the Wooster D. We turned cold.
Turnovers: Coach Maker gave this as the primary reason for our loss. We had 16 (10 in the second half) which Wooster turned into 25 points. Wooster had 5 which we turned into just 5 points. Maybe that was the game right there. Some of the 16 could be attributed to the Wooster D, some to the officials (offensive fouls), but too many were sloppy, egregious, unforced errors. James Wang was quoted as saying "We were tentative." Amen.
After the game, in the post-mortem among my friends who were in Salem , there was a consensus that we almost never (vs. a strong opponent) played well for 40 minutes, either starting very slowly and having to claw back, or building up, and then coughing up, a big lead. (I recall only one exception to this: Amherst I, where we played exceptionally hard and well for all 45 minutes, losing in OT without Troy.) If so, why?
One theory from this group was that many Williams athletes are "too nice", not tough enough, lack killer instinct, are unwilling to pour it on and risk embarrassing an opponent. It's plausible if not prove-able and I hope it's not true. In any event, we stopped attacking, stopped doing what built the 17 point lead in the first 31 minutes of the game. I don't think we panicked, but we sure looked bad when Wooster was on a 17-0 run. Incidentally, when the same thing happened on the same floor in the championship game last year, I was convinced that the reason, in part anyway, was that we had the wrong players on the floor. Such was not the case on Friday.
Officiating: Doug Pickard (almost never a complainer) cited this as one of his two reasons, Bode thought it was the main reason, a bunch of people who made the trip from the Berkshires (not the above-named group) thought it was the only reason, as did a writer on EphBlog who was livid and was certain we were jobbed. With so many knowledgeable people saying this, perhaps it's true.

A considerable lot of the individuals who went under the spotlight of Unheard by InnerVoice - Season 1 hit our feelings with their words and perspectives. We needed to make an effect by giving a stage to those, who needed to impart to the world their fantasies, wants, injury, agony, and chuckles. What's more, we'd get a kick out of the chance to do it once more, this time in the City of Dreams a.k.a Mumbai on the 24th of September, 2017 at the surreal Innov8 Co-Working Space, Boston House, Andheri East. It would be ideal if you beauty us with your august nearness and hear the ones who spread enchantment just by their words!

Adress: Above Calle Cuevas, Montealegre del Castillo, Albacete, Spain.
Montealegre del Castillo Castle
Montealegre del Castillo Castle, locally known as Castillo de Montealegre del Castillo, lies on a hill above the town of the same name, in the province of Albacete in Spain.
The castle was probably preceded by an Arab fortification, then called Eliph, which was destroyed in 921 AD by Ordoño of León, King of Galicia.
The present castle was built in the 1330s by Sancho Manuel, after his father had ceded the depopulated territory to him. It was built in a single phase with Mozarabic techniques and a Christian design.
The new castle however was demolished only some thirty years later in 1364. This happened after Peter of Castile had authorized Chinchilla to annex the town of Montealegre and destroy the new castle, during the war with his brother Henry of Trastámara, the later Henry II of Castile. The demolition was carried out very thoroughly, leaving almost only the foundations.
After 2000 the two present towers were rebuilt on the original foundations.
At present the remains of Montealegre del Castillo Castle are fenced off and thus can not be visited. A simple castle ruin.

'Coffy' Blu-ray Review (Arrow Video)
by Paul Metcalf
Stars: Pam Grier, Booker Bradshaw, Robert DoQui, William Elliott, Allan Arbus, Sid Haig, Barry Cahill, Lee de Broux, Ruben Moreno, Lisa Farringer, Carol Locatell, Linda Haynes, John Perak | Written and Directed by Jack Hill
If there is one thing about Quentin Tarantino we can be sure of, it's that he loves movies. For film fans who don't know too much about the "Blaxploitation" genre they may not have picked up the importance of Jackie Brown, or the fact that the movie was built around one actress, Pam Grier… To look at the reason for this, all you have to do is look no further than Arrow Video's latest release Coffy.
Seen as one of the best films of the genre, Coffy (Pam Grier) is a nurse pushed to finding vengeance against the pimps, junkies and drug dealers who led to the hospitalisation of her sister. Playing out like a female Death Wish Pam Grier created a character that is not only memorable but truly iconic.
When listening to the commentary by director Jack Hill it is eye-opening just how restricted he was in making Coffy and how racist Hollywood was at the time. The budget provided was small and there were many things that hindered his progress, even down to being able to get the right stunt people to fit the roles, but he fought on and with the help of the cast, mainly Pam Grier, he was able to create the movie that we see today.
Moving away from the politics of Hollywood in the seventies and looking at Coffy as a film, it is actually a fun and amusing film. Although its plot can be compared to Death Wish it has a lighter tone and has less of an anti-gun message. In Coffy it's all about vengeance and Pam Grier kicking ass in only the way she can, and she definitely makes the movie hers. Praise too has to be given to Sid Haig as one whose subtle comedic work makes him stand out, the obvious chemistry between him and Grier which comes from the fact that they'd worked with each other in the past helps their performances a lot, especially in scenes they appear in together. Even with the so-called Blaxploitation feel to the film Coffy doesn't feel too aged, if anything there is a certain eccentric nature to the film which helps it to feel a little more unique than other films that share its seventies setting.
In terms of special features I've already mentioned the commentary which is interesting to listen to, especially when Jack Hill gets into the politics of making the movie and what he tried to achieve. As well as this there is also an interview with Hill, and a separate one with Pam Grier where she reminisces about her memories of the film. In a further look at Blaxploitation there is also a video essay by author Mikel J. Koven looking at the genre and how it affected the industry and changed a lot both behind and in front of the camera. As a fan of the history of film, this obviously added to the enjoyment of Coffy for me, as well as educating me on certain elements I didn't know.
Historically Coffy is important and should be watched to see Grier at her best. While it is violent the tone of the film still manages to be light and there is a knowing edge to what we see on the screen. Even with its low-budget the picture quality on the Blu-ray is excellent and with the special features it's obvious that Arrow Video have given the film the love it deserves. More importantly though the quality of the release pays tribute to Pam Grier and her performance. A true icon of cinema she deserves all the praise she gets.
***** 5/5
Coffy is available on Blu-ray in the UK now from Arrow Video.

On May 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court decided Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, ruling that companies can draft employment contracts to include arbitration clauses that bar employees from joining together in court and taking legal action concerning workplace issues. For thousands of companies, this decision means they can continue to require arbitration agreements as conditions of employment. For others, it means they now have the option to include arbitration clauses in employment agreements to protect against expensive class action lawsuits.
The employment contracts at issue in Epic Systems required employees to resolve workplace disputes in arbitration rather than in court and to file their claims one-by-one rather than collectively. In analyzing consumer contracts, the Supreme Court previously ruled that companies may require arbitration and forbid class actions. The issue for the justices in Epic Systems, however, was whether consumer contract rules also applied to employment contracts. Workers argued that allowing arbitration clauses in employment agreements is different than allowing them in consumer contracts because the National Labor Relations Act prohibits class waivers and protects workers' rights to engage in "concerted activities." Federal appeals courts in Chicago and San Francisco had accepted that argument; a federal appeals court in New Orleans had rejected it.
In sum, this Supreme Court decision is a big win for employers who favor arbitration over litigation and who wish to avoid class action suits.

Pittsburgh Shooting
Gab booted off the internet after Pittsburgh shooting
By Tess Owen Oct 29, 2018
Hours before a shooter burst into the Tree of Life synagogue during Saturday morning Shabbat services armed with multiple guns, he'd paused to post on Gab, the alternative social media platform that's long been accused of providing a safe online harbor for racists.
"HIAS [Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society] likes to bring invaders in that kill our people," wrote the suspect, 46-year-old Robert Bowers. "I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in."
Bowers — who allegedly shot and killed 11 people at the synagogue that day — regularly posted violently anti-Semitic and racist content on Gab. In the wake of the massacre, and with his online extremism under scrutiny, Silicon Valley has scrambled to cut ties with the site, which was founded by its CEO Andrew Torba, a Trump-supporting entrepreneur, in August 2016.
The site is now effectively offline — at least temporarily.
"Gab will likely be down for weeks because of this," Gab wrote on Twitter. "Working on solutions. We will never give up on defending free speech for all people."
On Saturday, Gab's web-hosting service, Joyent, suspended its relationship with the social media site, pending the outcome of a weeklong investigation into whether they violated their policies. That left Gab.com still online — but unable to host any content. Then on Sunday, Gab's domain provider, GoDaddy, cut ties with the site and gave it 24 hours to transition to a new provider to keep its current URL. That deadline is swiftly approaching for Gab, and without a new domain, the website won't exist at all.
"We have informed Gab.com that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service," GoDaddy said in a statement. "In response to complaints received over the weekend, GoDaddy investigated and discovered numerous instances of content on the site that both promotes and encourages violence against people."
PayPal also announced that it was barring Gab from using its services after the shooting. (In the wake of the violent Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville 2017, PayPal also moved swiftly to cut ties with the white nationalists who organized the event, which left one dead and dozens injured.)
Stripe, another online payment processor that Gab was using, followed suit. U.S. cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase also blocked Gab — seemingly out of nowhere in June — and said the social media site was "contradictory to everything crypto stands for."
The creation of Gab in August 2016 coincided with the growth of the so-called "alt-right," the loose conglomerate of white nationalists, neo-nazis, and far-right activists, who found a shared language through racist memes and anti-immigrant rhetoric. In Nov. 2016, amid a spike in hate crimes following the election, Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey announced plans to crack down on alt-right accounts. When far-right personalities were booted off Twitter, Gab welcomed them with open arms.
Gab, however, has also fought accusations that the site caters to the far-right, and insists, instead, that it's only interested in protecting free speech.
As information about Bowers started circulating online in the aftermath of the shooting, Gab released a statement Monday morning condemning his actions and explaining that they took Bowers' account offline, but backed up his user data. The company also said it had contacted the FBI.
In the same statement, the company said it was being unfairly scapegoated for the shooting.
"Gab is under attack," the company wrote. "We have been systematically no-platformed by App Stores, multiple hosting providers, and several payment processor. We have been smeared by the mainstream media for defending free expression and providing liberty for all.
The company has also spent the last 24-hours arguing with people on Twitter and responding to its critics.
In a statement posted to the website, Torba also bragged about how the crackdown on his company has only made it more famous. "You have all just made Gab a nationally recognized brand as the home of free speech online at a time when Silicon Valley is stifling political speech they disagree with to interfere in a US election," he wrote.

St Martin's Primary School achieves high standards with its external inspection report
St Martin's Primary School has received hugely encouraging feedback in its external inspection report from Ofsted.
The school achieved a rare 'excellent' rating in the category of Personal Development and Welfare, received 'good' ratings in the categories of Behaviour and Attitudes; Leadership and Management; and Early Years provision, and 'requires improvement' in the category of The Quality of Education. Only 13% of primary schools inspected by Ofsted in England under its new framework have received an 'excellent' rating.
Ofsted's report highlights that:
Students feel safe and well cared for in this welcoming and inclusive school.
Bullying is rare and students have complete confidence in how school leaders manage behaviour.
Leaders meticulously plan experiences to enrich the curriculum based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The headteacher has instilled a strong sense of teamwork throughout the school and community. Along with other senior leaders, she leads with integrity and purpose. Staff are proud to work at the school.
Leaders have transformed the quality of early reading. They have raised expectations and put in place a consistent approach to teaching phonics.
Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive focused intervention from skilled staff.
Inspectors recognised that staff have high expectations for students and have focused on ensuring that pupils learn from a knowledge rich curriculum. Leaders have taken decisive action to improve the school's curriculum and recent improvements are beginning to pay off, especially in reading. However, school leaders have not clearly set out the most important knowledge they want pupils to know and remember in all subjects. This was an area inspectors identified where improvements could be made.
The new external inspection agreement with Ofsted was put in place last year. The inspection grading categories range from inadequate to requires improvement, good and excellent.
Clare Giles, St Martin's Primary School Headteacher, said:
'Overall, we are thrilled with the findings. Being awarded an "excellent" judgement for the area of Personal Development and Welfare is a real achievement, which shows how we put our children at the heart of all the decisions we make in our school. We of course take on board all the comments made in the report and will continue to work on identified areas for improvement. Since taking over as the new headteacher in September 2021, I am extremely proud of our staff's sheer hard work, passion and dedication, along with their relentless drive which has culminated in achieving this really good inspection report. I am also incredibly proud of all of our children who strive to be the best they can be every day, and who contribute so much to making St Martin's Primary such a magical place.'
Nick Hynes, Director of Education, said:
'This Ofsted inspection report is a credit to Clare and her team for always putting children at the heart of everything they do. Achieving an excellent rating in any category is incredibly difficult, as evidenced by the fact only 13% of schools in England have achieved it under this framework, and I would like to thank and congratulate all staff at the school. We strive for continual improvement and if any rating doesn't quite reach the "good" threshold then by definition it requires improvement. I know Clare and her team will carry on driving through improvements where needed.'
Deputy Andrea Dudley-Owen, President of the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture, said:
'On behalf of the Committee I want to congratulate Clare and the whole St Martin's Primary School community. There are so many positive observations in the inspection report and it is clear that both staff and students share an immense pride in being part of that school community. It was also pleasing to note that inspectors recognised that significant improvements had been made to the curriculum but more time is needed to bed them in across all subjects.'

So, if you join on 10th February with a £10 deposit, and make £5 deposits on 20th February and 27th February, you're in the February draw.

It had me at "you can blow up corpses." Rise of the Necromancer provides a fantastic new character class for Diablo III in a dark wizard who loves the dead as much as Alice Cooper. As such, this downloadable content provides a reason for dedicated fans of Blizzard's hack-and-slasher to revisit the game, and it even offers a little nudge for newbies to finally get with it and play one of the best action RPGs of all time. There's one important caveat, though--all you get here is the new necromancer class and his undeadly accoutrements.
Still, playing as the necromancer offers an entertaining new way to experience the original Diablo III while also reviving a beloved character from Diablo II. This goth-inspired sorcerer stands out from other Diablo III classes thanks to his grim appearance and incredible battlefield abilities. The necromancer is an absolute powerhouse right from the start of the game, courtesy of a host of skills that let you wreak havoc. Soon after you start your adventure, you'll have a troop of skeleton warriors trotting by your side, slicing and dicing all comers while you hang back and raise the corpses they left behind as makeshift grenades via your Corpse Explosion skills. Detonating the bodies of fallen foes is endlessly satisfying, because of both the geysers of gore and how you can chain explosions, slaughtering huge numbers of enemies in strings of kabooms.
And the necromancer doesn't just excel at blowing up corpses. A wide range of skills allow for varied playstyles; you can also let summoned skeletons and spirits do the heavy lifting while you use the Siphon Blood talents to leech enemy health and restore your own. You can wade right into melee combat or take a step back and fire off the ranged Bone Spikes or swing the mystical Grim Scythe. The Necromancer also offers some frills that allow you to sport big skeletal wings, don a custom portrait, have ghoulish pets scampering at your heels, and use over 30 new legendary items.
In short, this is a great character pack. The necromancer comes with a lot of depth and seems well thought-out. The one lingering concern is that the new class might be a little overpowered, but that's a minor worry, given that most players will be using the goth-and-guts spellcaster for a runthrough of what's likely a very familiar campaign in a game they know extremely well. Challenge probably isn't as big a concern as novelty and the sheer fun factor the new character brings. The visual presentation is also extremely well done, offering a perfect balance between cartoon showers of blood and the dark grotesqueries of playing as a guy who revels in death.
But it's still just a character pack. Despite the title, Rise of the Necromancer doesn't offer any new quests, campaigns, or storylines. The name is more than a bit misleading, since it leads you to expect that there's a little more (rotting) meat on this (animated and coming right at you) bone. And for $15, you're right to expect more. The one slight saving grace when it comes to value is that the DLC arrives at the same time as the free 2.6.0 patch, which adds features to the core game like Challenge Rifts, new zones, and new bounties.
If not for the price, Rise of the Necromancer would be easy to instantly recommend to fans of Diablo III or anyone with even a passing interest in trying out a classic hack-and-slash RPG. Still, this is a fantastic character pack that adds one of the best, most enjoyable classes to the existing game roster.
Brett spent about 10 hours raising the dead and adding to their numbers when revisiting Diablo III with the Rise of the Necromancer. GameSpot was provided with a complimentary copy of the game for the purpose of this review.

Q: How to have single view for multiple HTML forms - Django This is my view.So I want to keep 2 different HTML forms in same view ,But I am unable to do so beacuse whenever I add 1 form , I get the error of other on being none.
def home(request):
    name = None
    if request.method == 'POST':
        name = request.POST.get('name')
        choices = request.POST.get('choices')
        subtest = request.POST.get('subtest')
        reference = request.POST.get('reference')
        unit = request.POST.get('unit')
        test = Test()
        test.name = name
        test.save()
        subtest = Subtest()
        subtest.test = Test.objects.get(name=choices)
        subtest.name = subtest
        subtest.unit = unit
        subtest.reference_value = reference
        subtest.save()
        # print(name)
        return redirect('home')
    return render(request,'main.html',{})

I have got 2 different forms . I didn't use django forms because I wanted to try something new.
MY FIRST FORM
<form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}

          <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Test name" />

          <button type="submit">Submit</button>

      </form>

MY SECOND FORM
<form method="POST">
        {% csrf_token %}

          Test Name:
          <select name="choices" id="test-select">
            {% for test in test %}
            <option value="{{test.name}}" name='choices'>{{test.name|title}}</option>
            {% endfor %}
          </select>

          <input type="text" name="subtest" placeholder="SubTest name" />

          <input type="text" name="reference" placeholder="Reference rate" />

          <input type="text" name="unit" placeholder="Unit" />

          <button type="submit">Submit</button>

      </form>

A: first form
<form method="POST">
...
<input name="form_type" value="first-form" type="hidden">
</form>

second form
<form method="POST">
...
<input name="form_type" value="second-form" type="hidden">
</form>

view function
def view(request):
  if method == "POST":

    form_type = request.POST.get('form_type')

    if form_type == "first-form":
      # first form's process
    elif form_type == "second-form":
      #second form's process

A: You have two forms here, when you submit the second form, only the fields from the second form gets submitted.
so from this line
name = request.POST.get('name')

name will become None. But I believe your Test model does not take any None value for name field( the reason for you " IntegrityError at / NOT NULL constraint failed: lab_test.name ").
To overcome this, first check if there is any value for 'name' then proceed with creating the test instance
if name:
    test = Test()
    test.name = name
    test.save()

Similarly check if the other fields are present for the second form before creating and saving the instance.

Kell's parents were part of a group known as the Banff Street Baddies in their Clear Lake, Houston neighborhood and he grew up entertaining right along with them.
For almost all of his adult life, he has worked in a wide range of hospitality industry positions – initially in California, managing Kelly's Coffee & Fudge Factory's and working alongside Tim Castle as a coffee sample roaster (preparing beans from around the world for customers including Starbucks, Peet's, & Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf), to making ice cream with Amy's of Austin, TX.
He began cooking with an apprenticeship through the US Department of Labor and has since featured as a Ritz-Carlton pastry chef in Pentagon City, a site chef for A Catered Affair in Washington, DC, and as the executive chef of the Old Hagatna Grill in Guam, the 29 Palms Marine Base in California and the Bear Town Bistro in North Carolina.
Prior to coming to Bainbridge, Kell spent three years exploring Spain by bike, tasting fresh fruit from the tree, and touring bodegas by the week on an extensive vino and wine tasting tour.
Pegasus' self-styled 'Barista-Artista' is a strong-willed, hard-working, sometimes-a-little-too-adventurous mom of three (two boys and a little girl who thinks she breathes fire).
Originally from Southern California (where all the great avocados come from), Jordyn moved up to Washington in 2012. Wicked quick at funny comebacks and full of jokes 24/7, she claims to be an undefeated Uno champ. Jordyn is convinced she could make a great minor league baseball mascot, but then who would get you your lattes in record time?
Rivers is a recovering military brat who was stationed all around the world, most memorably in Southern Spain – a home which gave her both an authentic lisp and a love of feria.
She spends her time away from Pegasus artistically, making and reading her own custom tarot cards (with designs based on her family and her life), and writing reams and reams of prolific poetry.
Mikayla is a child of the road – she was born in Silverdale, but grew up in Texas, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Florida, Alabama and California, before landing back on the Kitsap Peninsula in 2017.
She is deceptively quiet at first, but promises to get more and more hyper as you get to know her better. Mikayla has become Jordyn's attentive protegé in the world of tasty caffeinated beverages and still has her mind blown with a new trick or technique on a weekly basis.
Frances was born and raised in the culinary world – picking up new skills all the way from the Mojave Desert to El Puerto de Santa Maria and back.
Currently a full-time student who bakes croissants as a constructive escape from scholastic life, Frances is happiest covered in flour and surrounded by pastries.
She came to Bainbridge with her family in 2016 and is now the precocious wunderkind of the Pegasus team, fearlessly cooking, baking, and wrestling 200 lbs of pressure to bring you your favorite espresso.
Haylee is a born-and-raised Bainbridge Islander who is currently in her return stint at Pegasus, having recently come back to the island from a period of extensive international travel.
She makes a darn good cappuccino, claims to be one of the few people who have tried every single one of the (more than 20) teas offered at Pegasus, and enjoys creating abstract coffee art and then inventing plausible stories as to what they actually depict.
Away from Pegasus, Haylee is an avid fiddle and electric violin player, became a thrift-store aficionado to fuel her vintage button-up shirt addiction, and recently returned from two months farming olives, grapes and almonds in Southern Spain.

Students: Our liberal colleges made us more conservative
By Ryan Girdusky | January 17, 2017 | Comments
Liberal college professors sometimes try to indoctrinate students, but sometimes all their preaching backlashes. (Facebook)
A sizable number of college professors and high school teachers have a mission to indoctrinate as many students to become far-left liberal activists. The education system has almost become a factory that assemblies social justice warriors to take over their campus and eventually the country.
That plan backfires sometimes and actually makes some students far-right conservatives instead.
"My college wasn't just liberal, it was anti-conservative," said Furman University graduate Lauren Cooley to Red Alert Politics. "It forced me to examine my own views and make sure I was comfortable representing them and then able to defend them. In some ways, the aggressive leftist culture on campus made me a more radical conservative because I only had two options: abandon my beliefs and conform or fight back. I chose to fight back and had a blast doing it."
Liberals who couldn't win over conservatives simply tried to shut down debate based on someone's appearance.
"If one group on the liberal side, say Black Lives Matter tells people who may generally agree with their concerns 'you can't comment on this issue because you're white/male/Christian/come from a certain income level', that person is going to go to the side that is open to hearing them," said Matt Lamb. "One of my first days at Loyola, which I started as generally socially moderate, if not liberal, someone said during a discussion about abortion 'if you're a man you don't get to talk on this issue', thereby saying my views weren't valid (even if I generally agreed with them.' That leads me, and others, to look at who is willing to listen to them on issues, even if there's some disagreement."
Progressive college students demand for people to conform or die doesn't work for anyone willing to think outside the box.
"I used to be more liberal when I was in high school and when I started college," Elliott Hamilton said to Red Alert about his experience about Pitzer College. "However, I always found the social justice culture as combative and at times contradictory to classically liberal values. I believe spending enough time listening to progressive talking points that diminished American values like free speech, free press, and defending illiberal ideologies such as radical Islamism helped transform me into a conservative today. It seemed like a natural transition to embrace conservatism since it is the modern embodiment of classical liberalism that defends western civilization."
Others just wholeheartedly rejected the indoctrination, feeling that professors weren't encouraging them to think for themselves.
"My school, like all other left-leaning universities, would promote multiculturalism, diversity, tolerance through courses and speaking engagements. These characteristics are well intended, but it seems as though the schools are enabling students to become dependent on kindness and generosity, much like a daycare," said Christian Spencer, a graduate of the University of Maryland at College Park.
Stephen Bader told Red Alert that Millard South High School in Omaha had no Republican student club. Also, administrators were determined to make it as hard as possible for him to start one.
"Although I knew full well these were hoops that liberal (any) clubs did not have to jump through, it only hardened my determination to fight for the cause!" Bader said. "What started as a group intended for discussion and education evolved into one that volunteered strongly for local campaigns, and saw tremendous notoriety and membership! It was like a magnet for more interest every time they tightened their fist. The mindset of 'Winning is worth it, so go win!' has stayed with me ten years later. These ideas are beautiful, and deserve the effort!"
If history teaches us anything, coercing the masses to follow one thing will just ensure they do the opposite.
