I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.

Is the criticism of QB Lamar Jackson rooted in racism?
The scouting criticism bombarding Lamar Jackson, the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner courting the affections of quarterback-thirsty franchises for the upcoming NFL draft, sort of smells like racism, but we lack enough evidence to positively identify it as such.
Had Jackson been aiming to become an engineer rather than an NFL quarterback, he would seek employment like anyone else, by sending a résumé to a hiring company. His name, Lamar Jackson, sounding obviously black, would, per social science research, likely lead to far fewer job interviews than if he had a white-sounding name like, say, Josh Allen, quarterback of the University of Wyoming, who is also vying for selection in the draft.
All of the top prospects this week are in Indianapolis being evaluated at the NFL combine. If Jackson's résumé echoed the achievements of Allen but Allen received far more interviews, that would suggest racial bias in hiring that the social science literature has already demonstrated. I could not state with certainty, however, that any one engineering company that did not grant him an interview did so because the company presumed he was black based on his résumé.
We stand on much firmer ground when making claims about the existence of racism in the aggregate than in the particular. We should apply this to the discussion about Jackson as he enters the NFL draft: The broader criticisms against black quarterback prospects often carry that taint of racial bias, but we haven't the required evidence to say the criticisms Jackson faces are instances of that phenomenon.
I love Jackson as a quarterback prospect and marveled at his gridiron heroics at the University of Louisville. True, his skinny, wiry build frightens me at the next level because of the elevated prospect of injury since I want and expect him to run to extend drives. But, provided he bulks up, I believe his pocket mobility and presence, the cannon hanging from his shoulders and his dazzling open-field running ability will enable him to become one of the best 10 quarterbacks in the league. Thus, the trickle of comments about Jackson needing to switch to wide receiver left me dumbfounded. The most vocal proponent of this idea, Bill Polian, said, "Exceptional athlete, exceptional ability to make you miss, exceptional acceleration, exceptional instinct with the ball in his hand, and that's rare for wide receivers. That's [Antonio Brown], and who else? Name me another one; Julio [Jones is] not even like that." Polian added, "Don't be like the kid from Ohio State and be 29 when you make the change," referring to Washington Redskins wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who switched from quarterback in 2015.
Jackson has endured other criticisms. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. maligned Jackson for inaccurate passing because his career completion percentage hovers around 57 percent. Football writer and former NFL scout Greg Gabriel dinged Jackson because, in his view, Jackson did not run a pro-style offense at Louisville. And before the start of the 2017 college football season, an unnamed ACC coach told Sports Illustrated that Jackson "can't make the throws and can't read coverages." Various writers have vehemently and persuasively defended Jackson on each of these knocks.
Why Jackson would find these comments annoying is understandable, while many have concluded them to be motivated by anti-black quarterback bias. Similar remarks have harassed black quarterbacks for decades. A few years ago I talked to Willie Totten, Jerry Rice's quarterback at Mississippi Valley State, who drew no attention from NFL scouts despite completing 60 percent of his passes for 5,043 yards and 58 touchdowns in just his senior year. For far too long, NFL talent evaluators have looked at the black skin of a young quarterback and concluded that he could not read defenses, couldn't stand in the pocket and throw the ball, could not lead a team to Super Bowl triumph and would be better off playing some other position.
Resulting from that history, remarks striking a consonant tone become classified as similar instances of discrimination. But Jackson's critics might render the same appraisal were Jackson white.
People shouldn't be careful here because of the mistaken belief that the charge of racism carries a hefty social cost and thus we should be reticent to apply the label, but because we should always aim for accuracy.
The criticisms whisking toward Jackson are consistent with the discriminatory remarks that dozens of black quarterbacks in college have heard over the years in preparation for the draft. Based on the evidence, that's simply the most accurate statement we can make.

The ProTek R/C N3 Hot Standard Glow Plug is a great plug option for .12-.15 to .18 size engines used in monster trucks such as the original and newer 2.5 and 3.3 Traxxas T-Maxx trucks. This plug is recommended for hotter/humid conditions and will provide a more stable idle and crisp acceleration when compared to a cold plug. This plug is recommended for low nitro content fuels (10-20%).
NOTE: For Traxxas applications, use one washer. For O.S. engines use two washers.
great quality, always carry one or two in with my tools.

Q: How to restore multiple explorer windows in Windows 7 I am doing some work in a database application, entering some data, and then scanning relevant information to PDF that I must then copy to a remote location.
I have two Windows Explorer windows tiled side-by-side of the scanned location and the remote location.  When I'm done with my scanning I'd like to be able to restore both of the Explorer windows at once but can't seem to do it without clicking twice.
Is there a way to restore the window position of all the Explorer windows in the group?
I've found that ctrl-clicking will restore successive windows in the group, but I'd like a single action if possible.

A: Shift right-click should let you work with the entire group of windows.  A nice collection of tips like that can be found here:

The Powell River Town Centre is shopping mall with over 40 specialized stores and services. It is the only fully enclosed shopping centre in town.
The Powell River Town Centre is located located between the airport, marinas and BC Ferry terminal.
There are currently only 25 stores in the actual Mall. A large number of the stores listed here are actually outside of the Mall, even across the entire block so claiming 40 stores are in the "indoor" shopping center is misleading not to mention several of them like Sears closed or moved out years ago. It is popular only because there is no alternative "indoor" shopping center. Overpriced rental spaces limit the store selection largely to big box stores that exist in every other city, making the mall exceedingly boring for the captive population.

How can I use OpenCensus in my project?
We provide libraries for Go, Java, C#, Node.js, C++, Ruby, Erlang/Elixir, Python, Scala and PHP.
Supported backends include Azure Monitor, Datadog, Instana, Jaeger, SignalFX, Stackdriver, and Zipkin. You can also add support for other backends.
OpenCensus originates from Google, where a set of libraries called Census are used to automatically capture traces and metrics from services. Since going open source, the project is now composed of a group of cloud providers, application performance management vendors, and open source contributors. The project is hosted on GitHub and all work occurs there.
What data can OpenCensus collect?
Metrics are any quantifiable piece of data that you would like to track, such as latency in a service or database, request content length, or number of open file descriptors. Viewing graphs of your metrics can help you understand and gauge the performance and overall quality of your application and set of services.
Traces show you how a request propagates throughout your application or set of services. Viewing graphs of your traces can help you understand the bottlenecks in your architecture by visualizing how data flows between all of your services.
Other types of telemetry will be added to OpenCensus as the project matures. Logs will likely be added next.

Groceman v. United States Dep't of Justice
The DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 does not violate the Fourth Amendment, and its application does not infringe these plaintiffs' constitutional rights.
By | Updated on January 19, 2004


Adams National Historical Park was the home of two American presidents and subsequent generations of their descendants from 1720 to 1927. The family's experience represented, shaped, and mirrored significant events in the social, cultural, political, and intellectual history of the nation. The purpose of the park is to preserve and protect the grounds, homes, and personal property of four generations of the Adams family and to use these resources to interpret the history they represent and to educate and inspire current and future generations. In addition, the Adams Memorial Society, consisting of members of the Adams family, charged the National Park Service with the distinct mission to "foster civic virtue and patriotism" at Adams National Historical Park. This mission still continues today through partnerships, including those with the Adams Memorial Society, local organizations, and the city of Quincy.

El persa o farsi () és una llengua indoeuropea parlada a Iran,Afganistan (oficialment conegut com a persa Dari des del 1958, per raons polítiques), Tadjikistan (on es coneix oficialment com a tadjik des de l'època soviètica), Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Azerbaidjan, Armènia, Geòrgia, el sud de Rússia i estats veïns que han estat sota la influència persa. El persa deriva del pahlavi, la llengua oficial religiosa i literària de la Pèrsia sassànida, que a la vegada derivava de l'antic persa, la llengua de l'Imperi persa a l'època aquemènida. És de la família de llengües indoàries; és pluricèntrica i la gramàtica és similar a la de moltes llengües europees contemporànies.

Hi ha aproximadament 110 milions de parlants de persa arreu del món, i la llengua té estatus oficial a Iran, Afganistan i Tajikistan. Durant segles el persa ha estat també una llengua cultural de prestigi a l'Àsia Central, el sud d'Àsia, i l'Àsia occidental. El persa es fa servir com a llengua litúrgica de l'Islam a Iran, Afganistan, i Tadjikistan.

Des de la conquesta islàmica, el persa s'escriu amb l'alfabet àrab, amb algunes lletres afegides (vegeu alfabet persa), tot i que a Tadjikistan, des dels anys 30, coincidint amb importants campanyes d'alfabetització, s'hi adoptà l'alfabet ciríl·lic, en part per motius lingüístics (l'alfabet ciríl·lic, com l'alfabet llatí i l'grec, s'adapten millor a les llengües indoeuropees, amb més nombre de vocals que les semítiques) i en part per motius polítics. En aquella època el persa s'hi començà a anomenar tadjik.

Ha tingut força influència sobre les llengües veïnes, en particular sobre les llengües turqueses de l'Àsia Central, el Caucas, el paixtu, el kurd i l'urdú. També ha exercit una influència menor sobre l'hindi, el panjabi, el seraiki i altres idiomes de l'Àsia meridional. Tot i que en menor grau, també ha influït en l'àrab (a la vegada que en manllevava molt de lèxic, arran de la conquesta musulmana de Pèrsia) i en altres idiomes de Mesopotàmia; el seu vocabulari bàsic és d'origen persa mitjà. El persa modern conté una quantitat considerable d'elements lèxics d'àrab, que es "persianitzà" i, sovint, va tenir un significat i ús diferent de l'àrab original. El vocabulari àrab que hi ha en altres llengües iràniques, turqueses i índiques ha incorporat, generalment, elements del persa modern. En general, la varietat de vocabulari àrab varia del 8,8% (2,4% sovint) en el Shahnameh, 14% en cultura material, 24% en l'apartat intel·lectual i el 40% en l'activitat literària quotidiana. La majoria de paraules àrabs de préstec del persa són sinònims de termes nadius, o poden ser, i moltes vegades han estat, glossades en formes nadiues perses.

Nomenclatura
El nom d'aquest idioma en català és persa. L'ISO, l'Acadèmia de la Llengua i la Literatura Persa, i moltes altres fonts també la denominen persa. Actualment, tant en persa com en àrab, s'hi refereixen amb la paraula fārsí, que era originàriament la forma aràbiga d'expressar pārsī, l'antic nom de l'idioma, a causa de l'absència del fonema /p/ en àrab estàndard.

Història
El persa és una llengua iraniana que pertany a la branca de les llengües indoiranianes de la família indoeuropea de llengües. En general, les llengües iranianes s'estudien en tres períodes, normalment anomenats Antic, Mig, i Nou (Modern). Corresponen a tres èpoques en la història d'Iran; l'època antiga seria el període immediatament anterior als aquemènides, l'era aquemènida, i l'època una mica posterior (és a dir, entre 400–300 aC), l'època mitjana seria el període següent, més conegut oficialment com a sassànida, i l'època nova seria el període posterior, fins a l'actualitat.

Segons els documents disponibles, el persa «és l'única llengua iraniana» per la qual s'han establert relacions filològiques entre les seves tres fases, de manera que l'antic, mig, i nou persa es refereixen a un únic, i mateix, llenguatge persa, de manera que el nou persa és descendent directe del persa mitjà i de l'antic persa.

La història coneguda de la llengua persa pot dividir-se en tres fases històriques:

Persa antic

El persa antic evolucionà des del protoirànic que es va desenvolupar a l'altiplà del sud-oest d'Iran. Juntament amb l'avèstic, representa la fase antiga de l'irànic i està documentat per les inscripcions cuneïformes dels aquemènides dels segles  i IV aC. L'exemple datable més antic d'aquesta llengua és la inscripció de Behistun de l'aquemènida Darios I el Gran (r. 522 aC–ca. 486 aC). Tot i que existeixen suposadament textos més antics (com ara la inscripció sobre la tomba de Cir II a Pasàrgada), aquests són considerats exemples més recents de la llengua. L'antic persa s'escrivia en cuneïforme del persa antic, un sistema d'escriptura únic per a aquesta llengua, i que degué ser una invenció del regnat de Darios I.

Després de l'arameu, o fins i tot la seva forma aquemènida coneguda com a arameu imperial, el persa antic és la llengua més documentada de l'era aquemènida. Mentre que s'han trobat exemples de persa antic arreu dels territoris posseïts pels aquemènides, la llengua està documentada primerament a les inscripcions de l'Iran occidental, en particular a la Província de Fars, lloc d'origen de les tribus de les quals provenien els aquemènides (i més tard els sassànides).

En contrast amb el persa posterior, el persa antic escrit tenia una gramàtica molt flexionada, amb vuit casos, subjecte declinat per a cada gènere (masculí, femení, neutre) i nombre (singular, dual, plural).

Persa mitjà

El persa mitjà, evolució de l'antic, fou la llengua principal literària, religiosa i oficial dels sassànides del 226 al 651. Es conserven nombrosos manuscrits mazdeus i maniqueus. Rival del part, hi ha inscripcions en ambdues llengües, i també en grec. L'escriptura, derivada de l'arameu, és arcaïtzant i, juntament amb la llengua, s'anomena sovint pahlavi, incloent-hi el part. Influí l'armeni, el siríac i l'àrab.

Les complexes conjugacions i declinacions del persa antic cediren el pas a una nova estructura en la qual el nombre dual va desaparèixer, deixant només el singular i el plural, com va fer amb el gènere. El persa mitjà usava morfemes per a indicar el diferent rol dels mots; per exemple, un sufix -i denotava possessiu 'de/de qui'.

Tot i que el període mitjà de les llengües iràniques comença formalment amb la caiguda de l'Imperi aquemènida, la transició de l'antic persa al mitjà comença probablement abans del . De tota manera, el persa mitjà no està documentat fins 600 anys després, quan va aparèixer a les inscripcions d'època sassànida (224–651) i per això, no es poden descriure amb certesa formes de la llengua anteriors. Encara més, com a llengua literària, el persa mitjà no està documentat fins a molt de temps després, cap als segles VI o VII. Des del segle VIII en endavant, el persa mitjà anà cedint pas gradualment al nou persa, amb la forma del període mitjà continuant només als textos de la tradició zoroàstrica.

El nom nadiu del persa mitjà era parsig o parsik, a causa del nom del grup ètnic del sud-oest, és a dir "de Pars", en antic persa parsa, en nou persa fars. Aquest és l'origen de la paraula farsi que actualment es fa servir per a designar el nou persa. Després del col·lapse de l'estat sassànida, el concepte parsik pot ser aplicat només al persa mitjà o al nou persa que s'escriu en caràcters aràbics. Des de, si fa no fa, el segle IX en endavant, quan el persa mitjà estava a punt de convertir-se en nou persa, l'antiga forma de la llengua començà a anomenar-se erròniament pahlavi, que no era sinó un dels sistemes d'escriptura emprats tant pel persa mitjà com per diverses altres llengües iràniques. Aquest sistema d'escriptura havia estat prèviament adoptat pels sassànides (que eren perses, del sud-oest) manllevat dels arsàcides (que eren parts, parthians, del nord-est). Tot i que Rouzbeh (Abdullah Ibn al-Muqaffa, segle VIII) encara distingia entre pahlavi (és a dir, part) i farsi (és a dir, persa mitjà), aquesta distinció no és evident en texts àrabs escrits després d'aquesta data.

Gernot Windfuhr considera el nou persa com una evolució de l'antic persa i del persa mitjà; també diu, però, que cap dels dialectes del persa mitjà coneguts és el predecessor directe del nou persa. El professor Ludwig Paul diu que: «la llengua del Shahnameh hauria de ser considerada com una instància del continu desenvolupament històric des del persa mitjà al nou persa».

Persa modern

El modern farsi és la llengua nacional d'Iran, d'Afganistan, juntament amb el paixtu. També és oficial al Tadjikistan, en la forma tadjik. Enriquit amb manlleus de l'àrab, constitueix la llengua de civilització dels països irànics medievals i moderns, els primers texts del qual daten del . S'escriu amb caràcters àrabs i representa la llengua principal de cultura dels musulmans de l'Índia i dels turcs de l'Àsia Menor.

La història del persa modern abasta més de 1.000–1.200 anys. El desenvolupament de la llengua en aquest darrer període es divideix sovint en tres etapes, anomenades primerenca, clàssica, i contemporània. Els parlants nadius de la llengua poden entendre texts en persa primerenc amb ajustaments mínims, perquè la morfologia i en menor grau, el lèxic de la llengua, han romàs relativament estables durant la major part del mil·lenni.

Persa modern primerenc
El nou persa es desenvolupà d'ençà el segle VIII com una llengua literària independent.
Amb la declinació del Califat de Bagdad al segle IX comença el restabliment de la vida nacional persa, i els perses varen instar la renaixença del seu regne i la seva literatura. El nou persa va néixer a Bactria amb l'adaptació d'una la forma parlada del persa mitjà a la cort sassànida, anomenada dari. El bressol de la renaixença literària persa és a la regió afganesa del Gran Khorasan.

El domini de la nova forma de parlar, ja transformada de persa mitjà a nou persa, es completà durant tres dinasties principesques d'origen iranià, els tahírides (820–872), els saffàrides (860–903), i els samànides (874–999), i es desenvoluparia només en termes de poder d'expressió.

Els primers poemes en llengua persa, anomenada històricament dari, sorgiren al Khorasan. El primer poeta persa significatiu fou Rudaki. Va florir al , quan els samànides eren en el seu moment àlgid. La seva reputació com a poeta de la cort i com a consumat músic i cantant ha sobreviscut, tot i que només una petita part de la seva poesia s'ha conservat. Entre les seves obres perdudes hi ha les faules versificades recollides al Kalilah va Dimnah.

La llengua s'expandí geogràficament d'ençà el  en endavant i fou el mitjà amb què, entre altres, els pobles turquesos de l'Àsia Central van familiaritzar-se amb la cultura islàmica i urbana. El nou persa fou emprat en gran manera com a llengua franca transregional, una tasca per a la qual era especialment adequada, a causa de la seva estructura morfològica relativament simple, i aquesta situació va persistir almenys fins al . A l'acabament de l'edat mitjana, la nova literatura islàmica es creava seguint el model persa.

Persa clàssic

La conquesta musulmana de Pèrsia marca el començament de la nova història de la llengua i la literatura persa. Aquest període va produir poetes en persa de primera línia, i la llengua serví, durant un ampli període, com a lingua franca per a les parts orientals del món islàmic i del sud d'Àsia. Fou també la llengua oficial i de cultura de moltes dinasties islàmiques, entre elles els samànides, els buwàyhides, els tahírides, els ziyàrides, l'Imperi mogol, els timúrides, els gaznèvides, els seljúcides, els anuixtigínides, els safàvides, els afxàrides, els zand, els qajar, els otomans i també molts estats successors dels mogols, com ara els nizams. Per exemple, el persa era l'única llengua oriental coneguda i usada per Marco Polo a la cort de Kublai Khan i en els seus viatges a través de la Xina. La gran influència del persa en altres llengües es pot percebre encara especialment arreu del món islàmic, i és apreciada avui com a llengua literària de prestigi entre l'elit educada, especialment en el camp de la música (per exemple Qawwali) i l'art (literatura persa). Després de la invasió àrab de Pèrsia, el persa començà a adoptar moltes formes de l'àrab, i a mesura que passava el temps, unes quantes paraules varen ser manllevades també de les llengües turcomongoles sota l'Imperi Mongol i la societat turcopersa.

Ús al sud d'Àsia

Durant els cinc segles anteriors a la colonització britànica, el persa fou molt usat com a segona llengua al subcontinent indi. Va prendre rellevància com a llengua de cultura i educació en diverses corts musulmanes del subcontinent i esdevingué l'única "llengua oficial" sota els emperadors mogols. A partir del 1843, però, l'anglès substituí gradualment el persa en importància a la zona. Es poden observar encara evidències de la influència històrica del persa al subcontinent índic, així com de la popularitat de la literatura persa. Paraules manllevades del persa són encara comunes en llengües indoàries, especialment l'urdu, també conegut històricament com a hindustànic.

Persa contemporani

Des del , el rus, el francès, i l'anglès entre altres, han contribuït a ampliar el vocabulari tècnic del persa. L'Acadèmia de la Llengua i la Literatura Persa iraniana és la responsable d'avaluar les noves paraules. De tota manera, la llengua en si mateixa s'ha desenvolupat molt durant els darrers segles.

Dialectes i llengües emparentades
Hi ha tres variants modernes del persa estàndard:
 El persa modern iranià, que és la varietat parlada a l'Iran; en persa, també és conegut com a farsi.
 Dari és el nom local de la llengua persa parlada a Afganistan, Uzbekistan i Pakistan.
 Tadjik és la varietat del persa utilitzada a Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan i Rússia, però, a diferència del persa que es parla a Iran i Afganistan, s'escriu en alfabet ciríl·lic en lloc de la grafia persa.

Les tres varietats esmentades es basen en la literatura clàssica persa. També n'hi ha diversos dialectes locals d'Iran, Afganistan i Tadjikistan, que difereixen lleugerament del persa estàndard. Són exemples d'aquests dialectes, lhazaragi, a Afganistan, el darwazi, a Afganistan i Tadjikistan, i el dehwari al Pakistan.

LEthnologue ofereix una altra classificació dels dialectes de la llengua persa. Segons aquesta font, els dialectes d'aquesta llengua són:
 El persa occidental o farsi, a Iran.
 El persa oriental, a Afganistan i Pakistan.
 El tadjik, a Tadjikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan i la Xina (regió autònoma de Xinjiang).
 L'hazaragi, a Afganistan.
 L'aimaq, a Afganistan.
 El bukharic, a Israel-Palestina, Uzbekistan.
 El darwazi, a Afganistan, Pakistan, Tadjikistan.
 El dzhidi, a Israel-Palestina, Iran.

Pel que fa a les llengües emparentades amb el persa, cal citar:
 El luri o lori, parlat principalment al sud-oest de la província iraniana de Lorestan i Khuzestan.
 El tat, es parla en zones d'Azerbaidjan, Rússia, etc. Inclou el tat jueu i el tat cristià.
 El lari, al sud d'Iran.

Fonètica

El persa iranià té sis vocals i vint-i-tres consonants, incloent-hi dues africades /t͡ʃ/ (ch) i /d͡ʒ/ (j).

 El persa distingeix entre vocals llargues (/iː/, /uː/, /ɒː/) i vocals curtes (/e/, /o/, /æ/). Els dialectes perses i les seves variants difereixen més en les vocals que en les consonants.
 Consonants:

Gramàtica
El persa és una llengua SOV, el que significa que la frase segueix un ordre de subjecte, complements i per últim el verb, que concorda en nombre i persona amb el subjecte. No existeix el gènere gramatical en les paraules variables ni en els articles.
