The Mental Health and Wellbeing of farmers and farm families has been an ongoing area of research and development for the Centre.
Following the Farm Family Business project funded by the Department of Family and Community Services, the resource "Managing the Pressures of Farming" was produced and continues to be distributed widely.
Another program of work which has been ongoing since the late 1990's is the Agrability network and while there has been limited activity on this since 2009 due to funding limitations, the information and ideas remain highly relevant. This network provided informal peer support to those with severe injury or disabling illness, and sought to find solutions which enable injured farmers to be productive in their farm endeavours.
Farmers with disabilities
AgrAbility Australia
The AgrAbility Australia network of injured and disabled farmers and carers was established in 1996 as part of a larger program of worked aimed at improving rehabilitation and return to work of farmers and farm workers across Australia.
AgrAbility Australia is an informal, peer support network of farmers who have suffered severe injury or disabling illness, and continue to seek and find solutions which enables them to be productive in their farm endeavours.
Meet some of the members who have come together to share ideas and encourage one another.
AgrAbility Australia membership is open to farmers with a disability or illness as well as their carers and family. A directory containing the contact details of members as well as the modifications they have made which has enabled them to return to work is updated at regular intervals as new members join. Click here for an AgrAbility Australia network of injured farmers and farm workers Application form.
Since January 2008 over 60 members with disabilities ranging from arthritis, diabetes and Parkinson disease to back pain, brain injuries, amputations and spinal cord injuries have joined the network.
See some of the modifications the members have made which allow them to keep working on the farm. See Member Information sheets below:
Modified caravan and boat – spinal cord injury
Hand Operated John Deere Gator – lower limb disability
Modified Chrysler Voyager – wheelchair suitable
Transportable Hydraulic Hoist – access tractors, headers etc.
Modified Ferris Zero Turn Mower
Overhead Winch – tractor access
Hand gearchange for ATV
Easy use irrigation system
Wheelchair transfer to farm vehicle
Pool access winch
Additional seat for easy quad transfer
Tractor access – hand winch system
Help for Rehabilitation Service Providers
While the national accident and injury rate for the agricultural industries is high, farmers and farm workers represent a relatively small percentage of the overall client base for most rehabilitation service providers. Despite these statistics a survey of rehabilitation service providers found that over half the respondents wanted additional information and training in farmer rehabilitation, specifically:
Conducting agricultural worksite assessments
Identifying, selecting and implementing assistive technology in the agricultural workplace
Modifying farm work practices, and
Coping with disabilities in rural settings.
A series of resources have been developed to meet the needs of rehabilitation service providers. These resources are available from the AgrAbility Australia Resource Centre. See below.
AgrAbility Australia Resource Centre
The AgrAbility Australia Resource Centre contains resources and information about how to undertake an assessment of the farm work environment as well as how to modify machinery or fabricate assistive technology to accommodate an injury or disability. Additionally there is information about how to manage a disability in farm work environment.
The following publications are available:
Identifying, selecting and implementing assistive technology in the agricultural workplace (manual)
Conducting agricultural worksite assessments (manual)
Osteoarthritis in farming people – a practical resource
Farming with Back Pain (pamphlet), and
The Gate Latches Booklet– 10 easy to use gate latches for on the farm (pamphlet).

Mental Health Issues are important for the farming community with male farm owners and managers dying from suicide at around twice the rate of the national average of other males.
In NSW a Rural Mental Health Network has been established as a group of agencies and individuals who share a common goal and have agreed to work together to improve the mental health and wellbeing of farming people and farming communities. It's work is based around a NSW Farmers Mental Health Blueprint which is a summary of key issues that should be addressed, and the major actions that should be taken. Click here to view 'Blueprint'
One of the actions of the blueprint in which Ag Health has developed with farmers across Australia is enhancing the resilience in farming communities to manage the pressures of work and life on farm. A resource has been developed specific to NSW and SA farmers that provides information about the most difficult pressures on the farm business, farm family and personally and some practical tips to manage them.

Checklist for managing pressures
Below are three easy checklists for you to use and keep for future use. Start by using the checklists to identify the most difficult pressures to deal with on your farm. Plan to do the checklist each 12 months, when you are facing change or when pressures build up.
Once you have completed the checklists, more information about each pressure you have identified will be provided at the bottom of page. This will suggest a range of options including things you can do yourself, where to seek professional assistance and courses you can do.
Instructions: 1) If you select yes, move onto next question.
2) If any of your answers are No, refer to bottom of the checklist page for further guidance to assist.

TheMindOfMyron.com and FyoozhenMag join forces to review Tidal's Social Wave For Change concert at ULL staring the one and only Lil Wayne.
Change is the act or instance of making or becoming something different.
Change is what was in the mist of the Cajun Dome at this Lil Wayne concert compared to previous one in January. Not to quote the 6 God or anything but nothing was really the same. This concert was not another stop on Lil Wayne's tour; he was back in Lafayette for a concert on behalf of TIDAL. The lineup was different; Wayne was the only act on the bill. He did not have a band this go-around either. It was just him and his DJ T-Lewis.
The biggest change in this Wayne concert was the atmosphere. During his tour date in January, the Dome a good amount of people but not close to what you would expect for a Wayne concert. This time it was different. The concert was free to UL student plus they received a few free guest tickets for friends. The building was packed; almost every seat in the building was occupied yet unoccupied at the same time due to every one being on their feet the entire night. The vibe from the audience was not one you would expect from from a group that received free tickets; this event felt like something that people paid quality money for. The audience was no doubt the biggest change in round two at the Cajun Dome and the energy level of fans were 10x times the level of the ones from the first concert. I believe Wayne felt that energy and channeled it into his performance.
Love to Tidal, UL Lafayette (Geaux Cajuns), Zeta Xi Alphas, and Ash for bringing TidalXChange to life. With that being said, how far ahead is Tidal in terms of innovation? We were just granted a FREE Weezy concert because of a water drive donation. Do you know how many dots that's connecting? Everyone was there, scholars, athletes, journalists, frats, sororities, administration, needless to say, it was LIT. Appeal, exclusivity, intrigue, free Lil Wayne, all things that assisted in packing the Cajun Dome out. This all derives directly, and intentionally from Tidal, and their staff. When your goal is appeal, exclusivity, intrigue, and service to your consumer, appeal, exclusivity, intrigue, and service to your consumer is ultimately what you will achieve. It was appealing to be able to snapchat myself at the concert, I felt exclusive when people complained about not being able to go to the concert, "Lil Wayne? Free? Cajun Dome? Lafayette?... that's intriguing, i'm going to that", and once those thousands packed into the Cajun Dome, we were serviced to the highest level. Tidal is the future, embrace it. This is the way we'll consume our music, and concerts, and have access to our favorite artists for the remainder of our time, and things will just continue to evolve.
1. I ain't sh*t without God.
2. I ain't sh*t without you (the fans).
3. I ain't sh*t without you (the fans).
Could anyone else tell that Wayne was delivering a free concert? I sure couldn't. To me, it felt like Wayne was out to prove something. I mean, he did open the concert by saying that he was The Best Rapper Alive, something I haven't really heard him profess since the times people still actually believed it. I'm a Wayne head, its well documented, and on the night of that concert, I think I somehow became even more of a fan. It wasn't because of the throwback Wayne set list, which had all the real Weezy fans in the building hype, and it wasn't because of the good cause that the concert was for, it was more so because of the effort. Kobe is my favorite basketball player of all time, and I just watched him throw up 60 in his final game, this felt like that. It felt like Peace, and liberation took over Wayne, and he just said, "screw it", I know i'm the best to ever do it, so i'll just come out and show the doubters that i'm the best to ever do it. Performing in Peace. When Kobe threw up 60 points, it felt like he was going for 81, when Wayne ripped the Cajun Dome apart, it felt like The Carter III had just dropped.
As a true Weezy fan, I thought the concert was incredible. However, though I left in awe, a part of me and I am sure others were left a tad bit unsatisfied. Not because Wayne did not do a fantastic job but because Lil Wayne is LIL WAYNE. He has so many songs. No matter what Lil Wayne concert you go to, if you a true fan you will always leave a bit unsatisfied. Why? Most likely because he did not perform one of your favorite tracks. It is bound to happen. I saw many tweets about how great the concert was but many were followed with "I wish Wayne had performed………". Wayne's music catalog is gargantuan, filled with 20 years worth of music, that it is just not possible for him to do all his tracks.
The concert would have to be an all day event.
An event I am sure true Wayne fans would have no problem attending.
Weezy F Baby, and the F is for features. Did anyone have Aubrey's number? Where was Chainz? I mean, it was good to know that Gudda Gudda is still alive,salute that, Eastside that, and Mack Maine came out, and flamed things up with his prophetic Miley Cyrus line, it was cool to see the large fella with the dreads get a shot. But, in a perfect world, we would've had a full Young Money set, then a throwback Cash Money set, and things would've ended with me, behind a fine young woke sista as the words, "Taking over for the '99, 2000..." rung out in the Cajun Dome. That's a perfect world though, and I'm still mad appreciative of the opportunity to be in attendance. I mean, Wayne got the key to the city that I live in, I was apart of history.
What were thoughts on the #TIDALXChange concert with Lil Wayne? Were you satisfied? What track do you wish Wayne would perform? #SpeakYourMIND in the comments below and make sure you check out Shaq and his team over on www.fyoozhenmag.com.


The project is located on 15 acres of land several miles outside of Palm Springs, CA in the Mojave Desert. The architects' approach was to minimize environmental and ecological impacts while still meeting the objectives of the client's brief. In doing so, Platform For Architecture + Research (PAR) aimed to contain land disturbance by siting the villas within their natural topography as much as possible. The architects also developed more compact building footprints by increasing outdoor living spaces that take advantage of the temperate, sunny climate.
The sweeping desert site has been subdivided into 18 unique plots accessed by discreet, naturally paved roadways. Plots are on average one acre and have a low lot coverage of 13 percent. Villas have been sited to maximize views and privacy while also making use of prevailing northwesterly winds for natural ventilation.
A seamless flow between indoors and out is evident where private lanes lead to courtyard entrances. Three villa typologies—Villa Y, Villa E, and Villa L—are organized around a series of courtyards sympathetic to the surrounding nature. The designs aim for the closest possible relationship between the interior space and the predominant presence of the desert landscape.
The contrasting forms of each villa are unified through similar architectural massing and shared materials and details. Each property features a formal living room, dining room, family room, two guest suites, a master suite, and staff area. Residents will have no shortage of leisure options with over 2,000 square feet of outdoor living area including private pool, fireplace, dining, and lounging areas.
Sustainable development strategies such as solar roofs, thermal massing, cross ventilation, shaded glazing and xeriscaping have been incorporated at master plan and building scales. At the master plan scale, roadways and driveways have been designed for natural drainage and visual integration through the use of stabilized, decomposed granite paving.
Design Intent: To integrate new construction with the landscape by utilizing the architectural capacities of existing subtle landforms.

A councillor has resigned in Tower Hamlets in just 10 days but this time for 'personal reasons'.
Mohammad Harun also resigned as a councillor. Picture: LBTH
Cllr Ruhul Amin stepped down from his seat in the Shadwell on New Year's Eve after just seven months saying he was moving to Bangladesh.
In an announcement Mr Amin made on social media he said he was relocating to Bangladesh 'after much consideration and recent change in circumstances' there.
He added: "These past months have been an honour and I am proud of the service I have given to residents and friendships that I have built…
"Once again thank you to everyone."
His resignation comes after Mohammad Harun, who was also elected seven months ago, resigned as a councillor in the Lansbury ward on December 21 after the council launched an investigation into housing fraud allegations.
The council probe into Mr Harun involves three properties at Solander Gardens in Shadwell and Lancaster Avenue in Barking, which Mr Harun is documented to own, and a social housing home in Grundy Street in Poplar.
One allegation being looking into is that the Tower Hamlets Homes property in Grundy Street has been "illegally sublet".
In addition to his councillor role Mr Harun was the chair of the council's pensions committee, vice chair of the audit committee, and was a member of the housing scrutiny committee which oversees fraud issues.
Mr Harun, who is a solicitor, denies any wrongdoing and said he will cooperate with the investigation.
In October Councillor Mohammed Pappu, who represents the Blackwall and Cubitt Town ward, was suspended by the Labour party for sharing antisemetic posts on Facebook page.
Councillor Andrew Wood, leader of the Conservative group in Tower Hamlets, said: "We are deeply concerned by the Labour party selection process that has resulted in two resignations of councillors within months of being elected as well one still currently suspended for antisemitic posts."
A by-election for the Lansbury and Shadwell seats will both take place on February 7.
Chief Executive and returning officer for Tower Hamlets, Will Tuckley, said: "We have robust processes in place to ensure our residents are free to cast their votes safely and securely and we work closely with the police and other partners to make sure candidates in both contests campaign in the spirit of free and fair democracy.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who is not already registered to vote, to do so now – it is a quick and easy process that allows you to have your say in the future of your ward and the wider borough."

Depressing Dispatches From "The Great Stupid"
November 7, 2021 / Jack Marshall	/ 7 Comments
I wish I could post each of these separately, but I already used up the extra hour today…
Perplexing Statement of the Week
"I understand one stab, 2 or 3 or 5, but 40 times, that's like hate."
That's Jose Aguirre of Phoenix, pointing to the spot where his neighbor, Rodolfo Garcia, was brutally stabbed to death on Halloween morning. This gets Inigo Montoya's attention:
Of course, his comment does embody the warped logic of hate crime laws, which we now should recognize as one of the early victories of those who want race and color to confer special advantages in society. I think the word Jose was looking for wasn't hate but anger, as fury, at least as explained repeatedly by the profilers on "Criminal Minds" when they encountered a death by overkill, is the approved diagnosis with death's like Garcia's. I will assume that anyone who tries to stab me to death one, two, three or five times doesn't like me very much. And frankly, those extra stabs after I'm dead won't bother me at all. Hey, go crazy, man! It's your time and energy you're wasting!
A Minnesota community is confused.
The city council in the Minnesota city of International Falls voted unanimously last week to prohibit dressing its sort-of famous statue of Smokey the Bear in seasonal attire during teh year as the local tradition has been for decades. Smokey will no longer don earmuffs in the winter, or fishing gear in the summer, or the wags responsible will face fines. No, the iconic anthropomorphic bear cannot sport any garb other than his traditional blue jeans, belt, buckle and "campaign" hat, with his shovel in hand.
Thank God they dealt with THAT crisis! Continue reading →
Morning Ethics Warm-Up, 7/2/2021: Remembering The Epic Second Day Of The Battle Of Gettysburg
July 2, 2021 / Jack Marshall	/ 3 Comments
On July 2, 1863, during the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg with the fate of the Union and the United States hanging in the balance, Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia tried to break through the line of General George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac at Cemetery Ridge, Culp's Hill and Little Round Top. More than once that day, only luck and chaos prevented July 2 from marking the end of the nation as we know it, and from preserving slavery at least a little longer.
All accounts of the battle on July 2 are full of the word "confusion." Robert E. Lee ordered Lieutenant General James Longstreet to attack by moving his troops up the Federal left flank while General A.P. Hill's corps threatened the center of the Union line. If coordinated properly, General George Gordon Meade wouldn't be able to move his troops to reinforce the Union left, where Lee instructed Lieutenant General Richard S. Ewell to make diversionary attacks and launch an all-out assault if possible. Lee's plan, if successful, would force the Union army to surrender the positions it held on the high ground south of Gettysburg after the first day of the battle, and the entire Civil War might have been won by the South in a day.
Annals Of "The Great Stupid": Pro Baseball Postpones a Game Because A Black Man Is Shot By A Police Officer
April 12, 2021 April 12, 2021 / Jack Marshall	/ 15 Comments
Today I arranged my day so I could watch the Boston Red Sox (who are on a roll) play the Minnesota Twins in a day game at the Twins' park. Minutes before the game, it was called off, though the sun was shining and a crowd was on-hand. Why? Well, Daunte Wright, 20, was killed by a police officer in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota., about 10 miles northwest of Minneapolis.
This has, or should have, nothing whatsoever to do with baseball, or any other activity in the Twin Cities or anywhere else. It is a local law enforcement event, and as of now, it is impossible to determine what happened with certainty. Never mind, though: Black Lives Matter has decreed that every death of a black man or woman in a confrontation with police is by definition an undeniable example of race-motivated homicide, and the proper response is to riot.
First and foremost, the proper response is never to riot. Protesting and demonstrating are seldom the proper responses either. Second, rioting, demonstrating, protesting, and making accusations about an event before it has been made clear what in fact occurred, is irresponsible, dangerous and indefensible always, with no exceptions.
The female police officer shot Wright yesterday afternoon after pulling his car over for a traffic violation and discovering that he had a warrant out for his arrest. The police tried to detain Wright; he briefly struggled with police, and then he stepped back into his car, apparently trying to flee.
Of course he did. In the vast majority of these police-involved deaths with black Americans involved, the eventual victim resists the lawful orders of police. George Floyd did it. Mike Brown did it. In such cases, I bristle when I am told, as I heard one activist say today, that the community should "honor" the victim by not rioting. Those who get shot or killed as a direct result of resisting arrest should not be "honored," because that is not honorable conduct. It is anti-social conduct that ruins some lives and ends others.
Body-camera video released by the police department shows the officer shouting, "Taser!" before firing her gun. She is then heard on the video saying, "Holy shit. I just shot him."
Law Vs. Ethics: The Minnesota Supreme Court Rules That Even A Stupid Law Has To be Followed
March 29, 2021 March 29, 2021 / Jack Marshall	/ 10 Comments
And the Court is right! But this is a really stupid law. According to Minnesota law, "'mentally incapacitated' means that a person under the influence of alcohol, a narcotic, anesthetic or any other substance, administered to that person without the person's agreement, lacks the judgment to give a reasoned consent to sexual contact or sexual penetration."
Wait, what? Does that really mean that a woman who is incapable of thinking straight or fighting off an amorous creep intent upon getting some cheap sex is mentally incapacitated and incapable of consent if she has been made blotto by a date who kept telling her she was drinking non-alcoholic punch that was really laced with vodka, but if she drank the exact same amount knowing what was in the punch, she isn't "mentally incapacitated" even if she can barely speak or move to defend herself?
It does indeed. The law is, some Brit memorably said (but not Charles Dickens), an ass.
Someone Please Give Me A Reason To Link This To Ethics, Because I'm Going To Post It Anyway [Updated!]
March 3, 2021 March 3, 2021 / Jack Marshall	/ 20 Comments
This story made me smile.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation held a contest last month to name eight new snowplows. 122,435 Minnesotans voted in the Name a Snowplow contest, which the organizers narrowed down to 50 top vote-getters. Each ballot allowed up to eight submissions.
After the voting concluded, the eight names receiving the most votes were announced winners. Here are the 50 top names and the votes they received:
Follow-Up From The Ethics Alarms "I Don't Understand This At All" And "Wuhan Virus Ethics Train Wreck" Files: Why Are We Allowing This To Continue?
December 31, 2020 / Jack Marshall	/ 5 Comments
Minnesota state Representative Mary Franson and Senator Scott Jensen (who is a physician) collected 2800 death certificates provided by the Minnesota Department of Health, checking to see if alleged Wuhan virus deaths were being over-counted. (Well, anyone who sees the obituaries of 95-year-olds and 103-year-olds who are called pandemic victims knows they are being over-counted. Ethics Alarms has noted this tool of the hysterics, nascent totalitarians and fearmongers before.) Jensen had earlier pointed out that hospitals had financials incentives to use the pandemic as a default cause of death.
Jensen explains that while one would typically look to the "UCOD" or "Underlying Cause Of Death" for classification purposes rather than the "immediate" cause or the "intermediate" causes. The practice the CDC had always required in classifying deaths was to use the UCOD.
But for the Wuhan virus, the CDC practice of 17 years was changed, and physicians were told, "If someone had the pandemic virus, it doesn't matter if it was actually the diagnosis that caused death. If someone had the virus, they died of it." Stroke? Multi-organ failure? If the deceased tested positive for the Wahun virus, that was the cause of death. Franson and Jensen uncovered examples where victims of a fall were called pandemic casualties. Drowning victims. One "Covid 19" victim died after being thrown from a speeding automobile. About 800 of the 2,800 death certificates examined indicated that the virus was not the underlying cause of death. That's a 40% overstatement.
It isn't just Minnesota that's doing this, either. It's every state, and the whole country.
A Niggardly Principles Christmas Ethics Quiz!

Sunday Morning Ethics Warm-Up, 8/9/2020: Whining, Lying, Slipping, Faking, Scaring….
August 9, 2020 August 9, 2020 / Jack Marshall	/ 13 Comments
I detest that sappy Ray Stevens song, and have since the first time I heard it. But I have to try something…
1. There's no whining in baseball! Note to MLB players: heroes and role models don't whine. Players have been making excuses for their flaccid play—of course, only the players who aren't playing well are complaining—that the lack of a crowd makes it difficult to bear down during games. The Red Sox broadcasters, including two former players, keep talking about this over and over again. Two games ago, Red Sox newcomer Alex Verdugo, in his second season, made a great catch to take away a home run, and the only cheering to be heard (I'm not including the fake crowd noises) was coming from Verdugo himself. "In a normal game, he'd be getting a standing ovation! A curtain call out of the dugout!" said Dennis Eckersley.
Oh, cry me a river. These guys are supposed to be professionals, and they get millions of dollars to play a game for living, one they supposedly love. I don't believe they need crowds screaming to "get up" for big moments, and if they do, something's wrong with them. Every kid who played sandlot baseball manged to perform at his or her best because that's what competitors in any game do.
Then there's Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez, who is off to a miserable start. His excuse? Part of the MLB protocols during the pandemic prohibits players from in-game use of video equipment. Martinez is used to looking at videos of his at bats during games to pick up on any flaws in his swing, so he has complained that not being able to have access to the usual devices is contributing to his slump.
Not surprisingly, the former players in the booth have not been particularly sympathetic to his plight, having played in those dark ages when baseball players just played baseball during the games.
2. Telling us all we need to know about "Defund police," the current Democratic Party, Minnesota, the former co-chair of the Democratic National Committee, and the mainstream media…MN Attorney General Keith Ellison recommended last month that women not call police to report when they've been raped. Ellison, who coincidentally has been accused of rape himself, said,
"If you're a woman who's been a victim of a sexual assault, and the assailant ran away, wouldn't you rather talk to somebody who is trained in helping you deal with what you're dealing with, as opposed to somebody whose main training is that they know how to use a firearm? Right?"
That's the kind of statement I would expect from a teenage social justice warrior like David Hogg. Ellison is the top law enforcement official in the state, and his definition of a police officers is that that their main skill is using a gun? Continue reading →
Comment Of The Day: "Now THIS Is A Level 8 Apology!"
February 1, 2020 February 1, 2020 / Jack Marshall	/ 6 Comments
In this concise but rich Comment of the Day, Isaac takes on the challenge of re-writing the wildly inadequate and unconvincing apology offered by the Catholic priest who was pressured to recant his negative comments about Islam in a Sunday service.
The apology offered three days later by the chastened priest, Fr.Nick VanDenBroeke:
My homily on immigration contained words that were hurtful to Muslims. I'm sorry for this. I realize now that my comments were not fully reflective of the Catholic Church's teaching on Islam.
Here is Isaac's alternative, his Comment of the Day on the post, "Now THIS Is A Level 8 Apology!"… Continue reading →
Now THIS Is A Level 8 Apology!
January 31, 2020 January 31, 2020 / Jack Marshall	/ 11 Comments
I'd consider a new head-shot, Father.
On the Ethics Alarms Apology Scale, a Level 8 apology, among the worst, is described as "A forced apology for a rightful or legitimate act, in capitulation to bullying, fear, threats, desperation or other coercion."
Lonsdale, Minnesota priest Nick VanDenBroeke provided one of the finest—well, that's not the right word since such apologies are insincere and indications of hypocrisy and cowardice, but you know what I mean—examples of such apologies after he was excoriated for saying in a sermon on immigration,
Both as Americans and Christians we do not need to pretend that everyone who seeks entry into America should be treated the same. I believe it's essential to consider the religion and world view of immigrants or refugees more specifically we should not allow large numbers of Muslims asylum or immigration into our country. Islam is the greatest threat in the world both to Christianity and to America – of course there are peaceful Muslims, absolutely, but the religion as a religion and as an ideology and world view it is contrary to Christ and America.
I am not saying we hate Muslims, I am absolutely not saying that, they are people created out of love by God just as each one of us is. But while we certainly don't hate them as people we must oppose their religion and world view. And if we want to protect our great country, not only as a Christian nation but also as the land of the free then we must oppose the immigration of Muslims, that's an example of keeping bad ideas out of the country that we have the right to do as a sovereign nation.
I'm not a hater for saying this I'm not saying something anti-Christian because the religion is anti-Christian. I'm simply a realist to acknowledge that fact, they are the greatest threat to Christianity and America and we need to recognize that fact and our laws of immigration need to reflect that.

CIO Viewpoint CXO Insight CASE Study Vendors 2015
Bob Wiederhold, CEO
The increasing demand for superior database technologies is driving organizations toward adapting NoSQL databases to meet the growing need for both quick storage and access to very large volumes of data across multiple servers. Enterprises are now relying on NoSQL technology to scale concurrent data, gain access to millions of connected devices and systems, and meet the performance requirements of the infrastructure and operations.By implementing NoSQL, companies are able to provide scalable and superior performance and address the issues that the relational model is incapable of dealing with. "NoSQL provides flexible, schemaless data model that better maps to an application's data organization and simplifies the interaction between the application and the database, resulting in less code to write, debug, and maintain," says Bob Wiederhold, CEO, Couchbase.
Headquartered in Mountain View, CA, Couchbase is an open source NoSQL database company that delivers effective services for interactive applications. The company builds high performance applications for data centers, connected devices with NoSQL database. Couchbase handles large datasets and real time processing needs in NoSQL, and also in complex database and enterprise software operations.The company provides Couchbase Server, a NoSQL distributed database with a flexible data model. The product is a high performing NoSQL distributed database which energizes enterprise web, mobile, and IoT applications. Through its service Document Database, Couchbase provides access, index, and query documents while taking advantage of integrated caching for high performance data access. It also supplies scalable, low-latency access to large in-memory datasets, optionally via theme cache and clients.
Further, the company offers Couchbase Server 4.0 BETA, an open source NoSQL database that offers early access to latest releases that can be used for testing and planning future system upgrades.With the 4.0 BETA's new feature N1Q1, users can develop scalable applications that work with next generation database systems and significantly enhance security and make accessing documents faster.
"We facilitate secure deployments by providing security controls to access the entire stack, from physical protection of the network infrastructure to Couchbase Server and the deployed applications," says Wiederhold.
The company's Couchbase Mobile delivers the full power and flexibility of NoSQL to mobile devices. It is engineered to implement fast and consistent access to data, with or without a network connection, and removes the network dependency that the service-based approaches require. The product synchronizes data between the mobile device and the cloud. "Couchbase Mobile products give the developer community a platform to code robust and responsive applications in a fraction of the time," says Wiederhold.
Couchbase serves users by creating, storing, retrieving, aggregating, manipulating, and presenting data. The company has been helping in the growth of NoSQL in major areas. For instance, Millennial Media, an independent audience platform in digital advertising, used Couchbase as its primary application backend to drive innovation and thought leadership in mobile advertising. With its built-in caching technology enabling submillisecond response times, Couchbase Server allowed for extremely high and consistent performance which Millennial Media needed. Furthermore, Couchbase's Cross Data Center Replication (XDCR) feature enabled Millennial to successfully support its two data centers.
We accelerate web, mobile, and IoT applications with the NoSQL database
With NoSQL, Couchbase has been able to deliver better performance, scalability, and flexibility. Customers are able to get access to database through ecommerce sites, social sites, and network platform. The company further plans to meet the performance and scalability requirements of enterprise web, mobile, and IoT applications with NoSQL database.

Authentic stories reveal Italian ingenuity in the new Fiat Doblo launch campaign
With the new "Driven by ingenuity" campaign, Fiat PROFESSIONAL welcomes the new Fiat Doblo and Fiat E-Doblo. The three video stories depict traditional businesses that, through lateral thinking, have reinvented the traditional way of working into something completely innovative. They are based on "real professionals' stories," as their real protagonists tell, and provide an unprecedented look at Italian business ingenuity.
The stories, which were published on the Fiat PROFESSIONAL social channels, present three innovative and sustainable start-ups that have come up with a new use for materials that were previously used in other industries. They both have the same cleverness that makes the new Fiat Doblo and Fiat E-Doblo stand out, which makes them great partners for companies that want to move forward.
The values of Fiat PROFESSIONAL - sincerity and centrality of the person, and the importance of always being a reliable partner for its customers are at the heart of the new format. The New Doblo is always in the background in the three videos, but it is always by the side of the professionals; it is the ideal vehicle for their work objectives and their brilliant ideas.
The first story features the creations of B Corp Miomojo, a fashion brand company based in Bergamo that creates bags and accessories with an Italian design, using innovative, vegan and/or partially organic materials, animal skin alternatives, and recycled fabrics. Some examples of this tremendous all-Italian creativity include bags made from cactus or corn, apple scraps, or recycled fishing nets.
The second commercial features Icehouse, an innovative start-up and benefits company founded in 2016 by architect Tiziana Monterisi and her husband, Alessio Colombo. Ricehouse converts inedible waste from rice processing into natural materials for green buildings that are healthy and ethical, technologically advanced, and highly sustainable. The main goal is to sell new materials like straw, chaff, thermoplastics, lightweight screeds, and insulating panels.
Finally, the third story introduces Fili Pari, a start-up company that creates an innovative and one-of-a-kind fabric out of marble dust from quarries and production laboratories. Francesca and Alice, two young women from the Politecnico di Milano, got the idea for the project for their thesis. They wanted to bring the textile world back to the land.
A behind-the-scenes video with the protagonists of the three stories reveals more about the new Fiat Doblo launch campaign. An exclusive look at the creation demonstrates how entrepreneurs experienced this advertising adventure with FIAT PROFESSIONAL. A statement from the company's owners confirmed the truthfulness of the new campaign.
The videos were created by Leo Burnett's creative agency and produced by Buddy Film under the direction of Tobia Passigato. Flavio Ibba has signed the soundtrack for Red Rose Productions.
The new Fiat Doblo, the latest generation of a winning C-VAN model, offers the best in modularity, sustainability, and safety, making it an even more reliable, versatile, and flexible workmate. The new model comes in two lengths and three configurations (VAN, Crew Cab, and Combi), with an electric motor and a thermal combustion engine. The new Fiat E-Doblo is FIAT PROFESSIONAL's third electric vehicle after the Fiat E-Ducato and Fiat E-Scudo and is the range's flagship.

This 'fable in music' is a retelling of Claudio Monteverdi's madrigal for two voices 'O sia tranquillo il mare'. Whether the sea is calm or rough, says the poet, he will remain waiting for his love to return. But there is no sign of her and his laments are carried away on the winds: "Never, never shall I leave here." I have planted a number of other allusions to the sea, melancholy and separation: Dorabella and Fiordiligi invoke calm winds for their lovers' sea journey in 'Cosi', Monteverdi's Penelope waits for Ulysses, and there is an echo of Tristan's castle in Brittany. In May 1990 while I was writing this work another great Venetian composer, Luigi Nono, died. Like Monteverdi he wrote music haunted by death and the sea. I have woven a thread of Nono's music through this lament. 'Favola in Musica' was commissioned by Nicholas Daniel and Joy Farrall and first performed by them at the 1990 Cheltenham Festival.

3.9-magnitude earthquake hits part of Quebec

MONTREAL -- It was a rumbling start to the week for some Montrealers after a 3.9-magnitude earthquake hit parts of the province Monday.
According to Earthquakes Canada, the seismic event occurred at 7:03 a.m. near Joliette, about an hour north-east of Montreal. It was felt in Laval, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (NDG), according to some viewers.
EARTHQUAKE Mag=3.8 on 17 May at 07:03 EDT.

— Earthquakes Canada (@CANADAquakes) May 17, 2021
"We don't really know where all of them are so most of the time when we have an earthquake, it's a little bit of a surprise," explains Christie Rowe, an associate professor of geology at McGill University. "It's part of a longterm pattern for millions of years of having earthquakes like this in the area and this was not a very big one."
The agency notes earthquakes of magnitudes between 3.5 to 5.4 are "often felt, but rarely cause damage."
The earthquake's epicentre was recorded at a depth of 18 kilometres. There were no reported damages.
"These kinds of fun-size earthquakes are very common," Rowe said, inviting people to fill out the 'Did you feel it?' questionnaire to help seismologists looking at the data. "I get crazy excited about it...it's sort of like looking at the stars and realizing that you're small or feeling an earthquake and realizing that our time is so short compared to what the Earth is doing."
The largest earthquake in this region was on September 16, 1732, recorded at a 5.8 magnitude.
Earthquakes Canada notes more than 4,000 earthquakes are reported in Canada each year -- about 11 per day. Only 50, or about one per week, are felt.

Is it weird if I tell you I have been anxiously waiting for this day so that I could talk about Christmas movies?
I actually start watching Christmas movies in early November, I do it every single year and I don't know why but it just seems to get me ready for the season.
I love that this time of the year a lot of TV networks start playing holiday movies, especially Hallmark and Lifetime. Now I don't have dish anymore, just Netflix and Hulu Plus, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying them nonetheless.
Some movies I have on DVD and watch every year with my family, and others I just find online.
I also enjoy the Hallmark Movie Channel's 12 New Movies of Christmas every year. You can check out the schedule for the upcoming movies right here.
And then of course all my favorite tv series Christmas specials, like Doctor Who and Downtown Abbey etc.
We just love Christmas movies. With Miss8 we do all the cartoon movies like Shrek the Halls; Polar Express and Prep and Landing to name a few.
Then it's time for the non-cartoon favorites like Santa Clause, Elf and Home Alone.
Being in New Zealand (originally from South Africa) we have summer Christmas which makes movie nights more special; we set up a white sheet, beanbags and the projector for movies under the stars.
THis is so much fun..... I love it.. thanks for coming up with this idea! Merry Christmas!!!
I forgot about Home Alone - I love that one too, and so do my kiddos!
Polar Express is so good too, but not one I make sure to watch every year so that's why didn't include it on my list.
I love Planes, Trains and Automobiles...I wanted to watch that one around Thanksgiving, but forgot about it in the midst of holiday preparations.
I am so loving your blogmas! All of those movies plus "It's A Wonderful Life" "White Christmas", "A Christmas Carol", "The Santa Clause" trilogy and "The Grinch".
LOL sounds like we're all on the same page with movies!
I have all of these and we incorporate them into watching movies during the entire month of December. I love to add some of the older 1940's classics like Christmas in July, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, It Happened on 5th Avenue and the Bells of St.Marys.
I too, am a huge fan of Hallmark Channel Christmas movies as well and need to start incorporating them into my viewing at night. Something my hubby and I used to do.
I like The Santa Clause and Christmas With the Cranks too. I forgot to add those to my list.

Relationships, Enemy Relationship
Elena and Klaus
It has been suggested that this article be merged with Elena Gilbert/Relationships. If you disagree, leave a message here.
Klena
Former Enemies/Allies; They dislike each other, Klaus is responsible for hurting and killing the ones Elena loves, Elena had no problem taking part in killing Klaus' brothers, Klaus killed Elena as a human (the first time), Elena tried to kill Klaus with her allies numerous times, Klaus only saw Elena as a vessel for his hybrid cause and wanted to protect her because he needed her blood.
April 28, 2010 (The Last Day)
Former Enemies/Allies; Ended (Klaus is dead)
" If you had told me a few hours ago, I wouldn't have cared a lick about her dying. But, as it turns out... You may be of use to me after all. "
— Klaus to first Stefan then Elena in The Rager
The antagonistic relationship between the cured vampire/ human doppelgänger Elena Gilbert and the Original Hybrid Klaus Mikaelson. Klaus returned to town for the sole purpose of killing Elena in the sacrifice, which he eventually achieved. After discovering that she had returned to life, Klaus tried to kill her, but realized that she was the key to making hybrids so kept her alive for her blood and devoted himself to protecting her so that he could have an army.
They are known as "Klena" by fans.
In Katerina, Elena goes to the boarding house and learns more about Klaus from Rose. Stefan and Damon tell her that he is one of the Originals like Elijah and the oldest vampire in history. Stefan tells Elena that Klaus is probably just a myth but Rose reiterates that Klaus is real and he never gives up until he gets what he wants, i.e. Elena. Elena then goes to the tomb to get answers about Klaus from an imprisoned Katherine.
Klaus, using Alaric's body, first met Elena at the decade dance. He pretended to be Alaric and lead Elena and Bonnie into a trap by saying Klaus had Jeremy. Elena realizes that Alaric is, in fact, Klaus. Klaus tells Elena that he doesn't want to kill her that night, he just wants to kill Bonnie. Elena witnesses Klaus making Bonnie use too much of her powers so that she dies, however she returns to life.
Klaus drinking Elena's blood.
After a day with Stefan, Elena was collected by Klaus, who had returned to his own body. Elena tells Stefan to close his eyes and leaves with Klaus before he opens them. Elena witnesses Klaus kill Jules and Jenna, despite her pleas that he spare Jenna. He tries to make her choose between Jenna's life or Stefan's, but decides for her and kills Jenna. Klaus then offers Elena his hand but she ignores it. He thanks her, making her look him in the eye, but she tells him to go to hell. Klaus then drains Elena of her blood, killing her, though she returns to life.
Klaus bothering Elena
After realising that his plan to create hybrids has gone wrong, Klaus suspects that Elena may be alive. After discovering that Elena returned to life, Klaus arrives at the school in search of her. He uses compulsion to make Stefan bite her, and then feeds her blood to Tyler before killing him. Klaus then planned to take Elena with him when he left however Damon and Katherine got him to leave without Elena, instead leaving Stefan to protect her.
Elena and Klaus at the Mystic Grill
Klaus later meets Elena at the Grill with Damon. Klaus makes an agreement with Damon and Stefan to save Elena from Alaric. When Alaric's about to kill Klaus, Elena begs him to stop and threatens to kill herself, revealing that the key to kill Alaric is to kill her as their lives are linked. Klaus overpowers Alaric and flees with Elena. When Elena wakes up in chains, Klaus is by her, and explains that he's draining her of her blood so that he can create an army and still kill Alaric. He questions her on if she would choose Stefan or Damon, but she tells him to go to hell. Tyler gets help and they subdue Klaus.
Elena drinks Klaus' blood
Klaus tells Elena that she will suffer from the Hunter's Curse
Elena, now a vampire, has lost Klaus' interest. He disowns Rebekah as his sister for killing Elena. Elena and Rebekah both become ill when they drink werewolf venom and after discovering Connor's identity, Klaus realizes that he still needs Elena alive so he cures her willingly with his hybrid blood.
Klaus later becomes allies with Stefan when he admits there may be a way for Elena to become human again. After Elena killed Connor, she begins to hallucinate. Klaus reacts instantly and grabs Elena to keep her safe in a closed room in his big house. They talk about the hunter's curse and that Klaus killed all five original hunters. Consequently, he had was tormented just like Elena, the difference between the two: Klaus is an immortal original werewolf-vampire hybrid.
After Caroline tells Klaus that Stefan had freed Elena, Klaus is not amused at all and tells her to shut up. To stop the hunters curse and Elena's tormenting, he sacrifices one of his hybrids, so that Jeremy can kill him and become the new hunter.
Rose: "It isn't over. The Originals, they'll come for her. They have to. They're doing it for him."
Stefan: "For who?"
Rose: "Klaus."
-- Rose
Rose: "Okay, you have to understand, I only know what I've picked up over the years. And I don't know what's true and what's not true. That's the problem with all this vampire crap. But Klaus I know is real."
Elena: "Who is he?"
Damon: "He's one of the Originals. He's a legend."
Stefan:"From the first generation of vampires."
Elena: "Like Elijah."
Rose: "No. Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to Klaus. He's a foot soldier. Klaus is the real deal."
Stefan: "Klaus is known to be the oldest."
Elena: "Okay, so you're saying that the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?"
Rose: "Yes."
Stefan: "No."
Damon: "What they're saying is, I mean, if what she's saying is true..."
Rose: "Which it is."
Damon: "And you're not just saying this so we don't kill you?"
Rose: "Which I'm not."
Damon: "Then we're looking at a solid...maybe."
Stefan: "Look, Elijah's dead, right? So, no one else even knows that you exist."
Rose: "Not that you know of."
Damon: "That's not helping."
Stefan: "Look, I've never even met anyone who's laid eyes on him. I mean, we're talking centuries of truth mixed with fiction. I mean, we don't know what's real. For all we know, he could just be some sort of stupid bedtime story."
Rose: "He's real. And he doesn't give up. If he wants something, he gets it. If you're not afraid of Klaus, then you're an idiot."
-- Katerina
Klaus: I just had to get away from that dance. The sixties, ugh... not my decade. [He laughs] I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz...
Elena: Alaric. Are you on vervain?
Klaus: Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?
Elena: He's been compelled.
Klaus: Nope. Try again.
Elena: What's going on?
Klaus: Okay, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric.
Elena: Klaus.
Klaus: Surprise!
Elena: Oh, no. No, it's not possible.
Klaus: Just relax, Elena. I'm not here to hurt you. You're not on my hit list tonight. [Looks at Bonnie] But you are.
-- The Last Dance.

YouTube launched YouTube Music for Android, iOS devices
Justenterin 22:57 apps , google play 0 Comments
YouTube on Thursday entered the increasingly crowded field of music streaming, hoping to reach a new audience through a user-friendly service that seizes on the video giant's vast variety.
Called YouTube Music, the platform will offer songs both with and without video, and users will be able to switch instantly to an audio-only mode.

In a feature it hopes will be a key selling point, YouTube Music will create non-stop stations tailored to users, who can fine-tune how much variety they want.
YouTube, the world's third most popular website after its parent company Google and Facebook, aims to take advantage of its quirky possibilities by offering artists' original tracks alongside cover versions, live footage and user-generated content.
T Jay Fowler, the director of product development who was involved in earlier services Beats Music and MOG, said he hoped to draw more people to streaming instead of simply competing with other companies.
"I'm excited about being additive to the market, rather than just moving users through an ecosystem of apps," he told AFP.
The video behemoth on October 28 launched YouTube Red, a premium service that allows advertisement-free access to subscribers.
YouTube Music -- which was announced alongside YouTube Red without full details or a launch date -- is compatible both with Google's Android system and Apple and will initially be available only in the United States.
The streaming service will be free but will come without advertisements for subscribers to YouTube Red, which costs $9.99 a month.
Google will still operate its audio-driven Google Play Music streaming service, with YouTube Music expecting some consumers to use both platforms.
Streaming -- which allows unlimited online music on-demand -- has been rapidly growing. Universal Music Group, the largest label conglomerate, said Tuesday that for the first time more than half its digital revenue came from streaming in the latest quarter.
Spotify is by far the largest streaming company with 75 million users, 20 million of them paying. But it has faced growing competition from new entrants Apple Music and rap mogul Jay Z's Tidal, which have both tried to distinguish themselves through original content and video.
YouTube in turn learned that it needed to focus less exclusively on video during a trial phase known as YouTube Music Key.
Listeners wanted to turn off videos when driving or exercising for fear of using up their batteries or data allotments.
"It really comes down to portability, and I think to date YouTube has not been seen as a portable experience," Fowler said.
While YouTube Music will highlight rising new artists, the service is largely targeting the casual fan who may have been listening to the same songs for years.
"The magic of YouTube is this massive catalog," Fowler said, but added that the main message was "low-effort, high-reward."
"The majority of people who are consuming music in the United States right now consume it in the car and are listening to a highly repetitive set of music," he said.
"I want to remind users that music has intrinsic value and that it's worth paying for," he said.
Listeners can tap on a favorite artist and then listen to a continuous selection of music generated for them.
Users can fine-tune their channels by clicking thumbs up or thumbs down on tracks and adjusting filters on how adventurous they want to be.
Going one step further with portability, YouTube Music will constantly cache tracks so that a user can come back while offline -- a feature that is possible but not automatic on most streaming services.
Streaming, despite its growth, has come under fire from a number of artists who say that the proceeds are paltry.
Even before its entry into streaming, YouTube has been a frequent target of music industry representatives alarmed by users' ability to post nearly anything online.
YouTube said it was committed to proper payments. In a blog post announcing YouTube Music, it said that YouTube and Google have paid more than $3 billion to the music industry.

Dame Mary Douglas,  (25 March 1921 – 16 May 2007) was a British anthropologist, known for her writings on human culture and symbolism, whose area of speciality was social anthropology. Douglas was considered a follower of Émile Durkheim and a proponent of structuralist analysis, with a strong interest in comparative religion.

Biography
She was born as Margaret Mary Tew in Sanremo, Italy, to Gilbert and Phyllis (née Twomey) Tew. Her father, Gilbert Tew, was a member of the Indian Civil Service serving in Burma, as was her maternal grandfather, Sir Daniel Twomey, who retired as the Chief Judge of the Chief Court of Lower Burma. Her mother was a devout Roman Catholic, and Mary and her younger sister, Patricia, were raised in that faith. After their mother's death, the sisters were raised by their maternal grandparents and attended the Roman Catholic Sacred Heart Convent in Roehampton. Mary went on to study at St. Anne's College, Oxford, from 1939 to 1943; there she was influenced by E. E. Evans-Pritchard. She graduated with a second-class degree.

She worked in the British Colonial Office, where she encountered many social anthropologists. In 1946, Douglas returned to Oxford to take a "conversion" course in anthropology and registered for the doctorate in anthropology in 1949. She studied with M. N. Srinivas as well as E. E. Evans-Pritchard. In 1949 she did field work with the Lele people in what was then the Belgian Congo; this took her to village life in the region between the Kasai River and the Loange River, where the Lele lived on the edge of what had previously been the Kuba Kingdom. Ultimately, a civil war prevented her from continuing her fieldwork, but nevertheless, this led to Douglas' first publication, The Lele of the Kasai, published in 1963.

In the early 1950s, she completed her doctorate and married James Douglas. Like her, he was a Catholic and had been born into a colonial family (in Simla, while his father served in the Indian army). They had three children. She taught at University College London, where she remained for around 25 years, becoming Professor of Social Anthropology.

Her reputation was established by her most celebrated book, Purity and Danger (1966).

She wrote The World of Goods (1978) with an econometrist, Baron Isherwood, which was considered a pioneering work on economic anthropology.

She taught and wrote in the United States for 11 years. She published on such subjects as risk analysis and the environment, consumption and welfare economics, and food and ritual, all increasingly cited outside anthropology circles. After four years (1977–81) as Foundation Research Professor of Cultural Studies at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York, she moved to Northwestern University as Avalon Professor of the Humanities with a remit to link the studies of theology and anthropology, and spent three years at Princeton University. She received an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Humanities at Uppsala University, Sweden in 1986. In 1988 she returned to Britain, where she gave the Gifford Lectures in 1989.

In 1989 she was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. She became a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1992, and was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the Queen's New Year's Honours List published on 30 December 2006. She died on 16 May 2007 in London, aged 86, from complications of cancer, survived by her three children. Her husband died in 2004.

In 2002 a twelve volume edition of her "Collected work" was published by Routledge.

Contributions to anthropology

The Lele of the Kasai (1963)
Douglas' first publication, The Lele of the Kasai (1963), focuses on a matrilineal society in Kasai (now the Kasai-Occidental), the Lele. This matrilineal society is marked by a strong division of tasks, polyandric matrimonial rules, egalitarianism, autonomy and anarchism; a social world that was completely different from her own and that defied the teachings of Evans-Pritchard. She breaks from a functionalist approach by her analyses on the production and distribution of wealth amongst clans, a detailed description of matrilineal organization and the role of aristocratic clans in the power structure, and the place of marriage in the alliance strategies between the clans and the practice and supervision of witchcraft. Her intense empirical work granted to her an insight into the concrete practices of the Lele contrary to the theories developed by institutions. During her research, she establishes the importance of the relationship between the social structure and the symbolic representations of the values upheld in the society.

Purity and Danger (1966)
Douglas' book Purity and Danger (first published 1966) is an analysis of the concepts of ritual purity and pollution in different societies and times to construct a general concept on how ritual purity is established, and is considered a key text in social anthropology. The text is renowned for its passionate defense of both ritual and purity during a time when conceptions of defilement were treated with disdain. Purity and Danger is most notable for demonstrating the comparative nature of her reflexions. At the difference to Claude Lévi-Strauss, who utilizes a structuralist approach, Douglas seeks to demonstrate how peoples' classifications play a role in determining what is considered abnormal and their treatment of it. Douglas insists on the importance of understanding the concept of pollution and ritual purity by comparing our own understandings and rituals to "primitive" rituals.

Purity in European and "primitive" societies
Douglas states that "primitive" societies are classified as those that do not recognize a distinction between being pure and being unclean. For western societies, there exists a clear distinction between what is dirty and what is considered holy. Therefore,Sacred rules are thus merely rules hedging divinity off, and uncleanness is the two-way danger of contact with divinity.For primitive societies, the ideas of taboo and holiness are personified by the notions of friendly or unfriendly deities; there exists a separation because objects, people, or places are associated with either good or bad deities. For this uncleanness to be transmitted, material contact must occur; being in physical contact with an object considered as unclean allows for the transmission of uncleanness to the body. A distinction to be made with Christianity, for example, would be that the uncleanness would pass not onto the body itself, but the spirit. Douglas emphasizes that in order to fully comprehend other societies understanding of taboo and sacred, one must first understand one's own.

The notion of "dirt"
Douglas dismantles a common euro-centric misconception that rituals and rites for cleanliness were devised with hygiene or sanitation as its goals. The avoidance of pork in Islam is often considered as having a hygienic basis, or that incense was used to mask body odors rather than symbolizing the ascending smoke of sacrifice. For Douglas, there exists a clear distinction between recognizing the side-benefits of ritual actions and considering them as a whole and sufficient explanation for ritual actions. Furthermore, Douglas recognized that there exists a strong resemblance between European rituals and primitive rituals in principle, omitting the differing foundations that separate European rituals based on hygiene and primitive ones on symbolism, European rituals of cleanness seek to kill off germs, whereas primitive rituals of cleanness seek to ward off spirits. However, Douglas states that it is not enough to limit the differentiation between European rituals and primitive ritual to simply hygienic benefits. She claims that the modern conception of dirt is synonymous with the knowledge of germs and bacteria;It is difficult to think of dirt except in the context of pathogenicity.If one removes the notions of bacteria and hygiene from the concept of dirt, all that remains is the symbolism of dirt;The product of a systematic order and classification of matter.

Dirt as disorder in the symbolic structure
Douglas then proceeds to establish the notion that humans have a tendency to structure objects and situations around them into schema, well-organized systems. The older people become, the more confidence and experiences they establish into their structures. Ideally, the more consistent an experience is within a structure, the more confidence an individual will place on that experience. As a result, when an individual encounters facts or tendencies that disrupt the structure, they will largely ignore it. What is deemed impure are objects or phenomena that do not correspond with the pre-existing social or symbolic structure. Douglas associates dirt as a form of disruption to order, therefore it must be excluded in order to maintain the integrity of the system.

The Abomination of Leviticus
Mary Douglas is also known for her interpretation of the book of Leviticus, in the Chapter The Abomination of Leviticus in Purity and Danger, in which she analyses the dietary laws of Leviticus II through a structuralist and symbolist point of view, and for her role in creating the Cultural Theory of risk. In The Abomination of Leviticus she states that the dietary laws were not based on medical materialism, but rather social boundaries, deeming that what is pure and impure is a way for a society to structure human experiences. At heart, what matters is using themes such as purity, separation and defilement to bring about order and structure to unorganized experiences. In Leviticus II, when categorizing which animals are authorized to be consumed, the pig is prohibited because while it has cloven feet like cows or goats, it does not produce milk, making it an anomaly within the structure of the world, hence its exclusion from the structure and its categorization as an impure animal.

Natural Symbols (1970)
In Natural Symbols (first published 1970), Douglas introduced the interrelated concepts of "group" (how clearly defined an individual's social position is as inside or outside a bounded social group) and "grid" (how clearly defined an individual's social role is within networks of social privileges, claims and obligations). The group-grid pattern was to be refined and redeployed in laying the foundations of Cultural Theory.

Part 3: Policing for Tomorrow With Steve Gregory
By Michelle Kube Jul 27, 2020
Policing for Tomorrow is an ongoing exploration of policing and how it might change in light of recent protests and demands. Today's show features more stakeholders in the balance between law enforcement and communities of color.
Today's guests include Lt. Brian Bixler of the Mental Evaluation Unit for the LAPD and Lt. John Gannon from the LA County Sheriff's Department Mental Evaluation Team, Davion Pilgrim a 16-year-old who has recently been racially profiled and accused of gang affiliation, and Senior Lead Officer Deon Joseph of LAPD's Central Division who helped change the culture of skid row by building a better relationship between officers and the homeless.
Policing for Tomorrow is a production of KFI News and is hosted by KFI News Correspondent Steve Gregory and produced by Steve Gregory and Jacob Gonzalez.
Here's a list of the guests on the show today:
Lt. Brian Bixler of the LAPD Mental Evaluation Unit and Lt. John Gannon of the LA County Sheriff's Mental Evaluation Team
The Mental Evaluation Unit is a team that has been in the LAPD for over four decades that assists patrol officers with mental-health related calls. It is one of the first and largest law enforcement-mental health co-response operations in the nation with more than 160 personnel working for the unit.
The LA County Sheriff's Department Mental Evaluation Team's goal is to reduce violent incidents and unnecessary incarcerations of citizens with severe mental illnesses. An MET team includes a deputy sheriff and a DMH licensed mental health clinician. They provide mental health support and psychiatric assistance during situations with citizens who are mentally ill.
In their conversation with Steve, Lieutenants Bixler and Gannon discuss the evolution of mental health responses, how officers respond to various calls including stalkers in the Hollywood area, and what a typical day looks like for them.
Check it out below:
Davion Pilgrim
Davion Pilgrim is a 16-year-old resident from Inglewood. He was a featured speaker during one of LA Mayor Eric Garcetti's press briefings during the protests in June. He talks about recently being racially profiled and has been accused of gang affiliation by police officers. He says
"Losing our lives to police officers is one of our biggest fears that we have in South LA."
"This is a hard time, but the good news is there is still time for unity. While I think we should keep protesting and demanding change, there's no need to loot."
In his conversation with Steve, he talks about what it has been like growing up around gangs in his neighborhood, his first interaction with police officers, and how there should be more accountability within the police department.
Listen to the conversation below:
Senior Lead Officer Deon Joseph of LAPD's Central Division - Skid Row
For the past 10 years, Officer Joseph has helped to build a relationship between the homeless and police officers in LA's skid row by using a grassroots approach as opposed to a handcuff approach to policing. In 2006 he helped build the "Just Like U" mentor program that offers mentors to children in poverty. These mentors have become successful despite the fact that they started out in poverty similar to the children in the program.
In 2008, Joseph created "Ladies Night" that teaches women that no matter their race or socioeconomic status they have the right to report instances of domestic and sexual abuse.
Over 8 years, Joseph has helped housing programs house over 100 homeless people and lead them to a better life.
In his conversation with Steve, Joseph talks about his experiences with the homeless and his time working on skid row.

Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
String videoId = uri.getQueryParameter("v");

Intent videoIntent = new Intent(null, Uri.parse("ytv://" + videoId),getActivity(),OpenYouTubePlayerActivity.class);

I try to use the example of "ytv:nasdasd" without // but don´t fix it.

Avoid Dieting create distinct Changes then again - Why is it that merely axiom the "D" word, you know "diet" brings quick thoughts of failure to the minds of many men and women approximately the world? Could it be that we have every intellectual through procedures and error that diets helpfully get not work? I know many of you are sitting support subsequently jaws dropped at the moment. After all, this is an article virtually dieting, right? It is and it isn't. Dieting is the smooch of death for many even if a additional phase in your dynamism or lifestyle becoming accustomed may be just the matter that will mean completion for you and your fitness and health goals.
Eating for some is an addiction. Unfortunately, you can't exactly meet the expense of in the works eating every together as a smoker can give stirring cigarettes. I'm not applying by any means that giving taking place cigarettes is simple but how much more difficult would it be if you were irritated to have three a day? At that dwindling you may as skillfully enjoy them every get older the urge hits right? The similar holds authentic for food. You must eat in order to survive. You cannot breathing without eating. This means that if food is a trouble in your life, you must locate a healthier habit of viewing food.
Isn't this where diets generally arrive in handy? The rushed reply is no. This is where diets often fail. Diets do unquestionably little to modify how we view food. In fact, most diets only encourage to tell us which foods are good, which foods are bad, and which foods (typically most of the foods we enjoy most) are strictly taboo. Diets start by forcing people to environment deprived or punished. And no one likes to setting either of these things.
Even worse however, is that we punish ourselves new subsequent to we slip along the straight and definitely narrow pathways on which our diets area us. This means that we are going to wallow in guilt on top of all tiny misstep we make until we have enough money happening every together and rule to greater than indulge in the manner of over and ignore the guilt all together.
In order to have real endowment you must make a lifestyle change. This is the lonesome exaggeration that you will be able to shed those unwanted pounds without experiencing the utter guilt that correspondingly many dieters go through each and all step of the mannerism later than their diets. Set goals for yourself. save them aggressive but reachable for fitness, dropping pounds, and eating other healthy foods. Even if your point is as simple as eating 5 vegetable servings a day it is a good place to start.
Change your habit of eating. then modify your habit of seeing food and you will experience incredible changes in your attitudes toward your health, your body, and even your fitness level. As the first pounds start to drop you will begin to experience more life and less hurt like exercising. This should help save you forced to reach even more as mature goes by.
