Bladesmithing is the art of making knives, swords, daggers and other blades using a forge, hammer, anvil, and other smithing tools. Bladesmiths employ a variety of metalworking techniques similar to those used by blacksmiths, as well as woodworking for knife and sword handles, and often leatherworking for sheaths. Bladesmithing is an art that is thousands of years old and found in cultures as diverse as China, Japan, India, Germany, Korea, the Middle East, Spain and the British Isles. As with any art shrouded in history, there are myths and misconceptions about the process. While traditionally bladesmithing referred to the manufacture of any blade by any means, the majority of contemporary craftsmen referred to as bladesmiths are those who primarily manufacture blades by means of using a forge to shape the blade as opposed to knifemakers who form blades by use of the stock removal method, although there is some overlap between both crafts.
A swordsmith's specialty is making swords.
A knifemaker makes knives and other cutlery.
A scythesmith is a smith who makes scythes.
Historically speaking, bladesmithing is an art that has survived and thrived over thousands of years. Many different parts of the world have different styles of bladesmithing, some more well-known than others.
Ancient Egyptians referred to iron as "copper from the heavens" because their lack of smelting technology limited their accessible iron supplies to what little native iron they could recover from meteorites. Despite iron's rarity, they gained enough familiarity with ironworking techniques to have used wrought iron in the manufacture of swords and blades as early as 3000 BC. They exported this technique to Assyria, Babylon and Greece through trade and as they conquered other lands and were conquered themselves.
The Proto-Celtic Hallstatt culture (8th century BC) were among the earliest users of iron swords. During the Hallstatt period, they made swords both in bronze as well as iron with rounded tips. Toward the end of the Hallstatt period, around 600-500BC, these swords were replaced with short daggers. The La Tene culture reintroduced the sword, which were very different from the traditional shape and construction of the Bronze Age and early Iron Age, characterized by a more pointed tip.
Traditional Chinese blades (jians) are usually of sanmei (three plate) construction, which involved sandwiching a core of hard steel between two plates of softer steel. The central plate protrudes slightly from its surrounding pieces, allowing for a sharp edge, while the softer spine protects the brittle core. Some blades had wumei or five plate construction, with two more soft plates being used at the central ridge. Bronze jian were often made in a somewhat similar manner: in this case an alloy with a high copper content would be used to make a resilient core and spine, while the edge would be made from a high-tin-content alloy for sharpness and welded onto the rest of the blade.
The swordsmiths of China are often credited with the forging technology that was carried to Korea and Japan, allowing swordsmiths in those places to create such weapons as the katana. This technology included folding, inserting alloys, and differential hardening of the edge, which historically has been the most common technique around the world. While the Japanese would be more influenced by the Chinese dāo (single-edged swords of various forms), the early Japanese swords known as ken are often based on the jian. One-sided jians from the Tang dynasty provided the basis for various Japanese forging styles and techniques. The Korean version of the jian is known as the geom or gum, and these swords often preserve features found in Ming-era jian, such as openwork pommels and sharply angled tips.
Korea has a history of swordsmithing dating back 3,000 years. Although Korea was in close proximity to both Japan and China, no native systems of swordsmanship and swordmaking developed in Korea.
Korean swords include long swords such as the yeoh do, geom, and hyup do and curved swords such as Samindo. Metal swords of double bladed leaf structure have been found throughout Korea dating back to the Bronze Age. These bronze swords were around 32 cm in overall length, with a short handle.
The technology that led to the development of the Japanese sword originated in China and was brought to Japan by way of Korea. The oldest steel swords found in Japan date to the fourth or fifth century A.D. Although appearing to be ceremonial in nature, samples of these straight blades preserved in the Shōsōin were hand-forged with hardened cutting edges. By the time of the Heian period (794—1185 AD) the Japanese sword took on its distinctive curved shape as a mounted horseman would have more use for a slashing type of blade as opposed to a thrusting type. These swords were known as tachi.
Due to the quality of metal found in Japan, Japanese bladesmithing became an extremely rigid, precise process, involving folding and forge-welding the steel many times over to create a laminated blade. By the time of the Kamakura period (1185–1333 AD), Japan was under the rule of a military class and repelling Mongol invasions. This became known as the "Golden era" of Japanese bladesmithing under Emperor Toba II, who became a bladesmith himself. After adbicating, Toba II summoned Japan's finest bladesmiths around him in an effort to develop the perfect sword. It was determined that a sword had to be hard in order to maintain a sharp cutting edge, yet hard steel is brittle and can shatter under the stress of a heavy blow. Swordsmiths in Japan found the solution by wrapping a softer low-carbon steel core such as wrought iron, in a jacket of high-carbon steel and then hardening the edge. However, under heavy usage, the edge would be more prone to chipping than its European counterparts, which were typically designed to deal with heavier armor than Japanese blades. This was answered by allowing projections of softer steel known as ashi to form in the hardened cutting edge during differential hardening of the blade.
The Mongol invasions brought with them a need for swords also suited for hand-to-hand combat and the smiths began manufacture of shorter blades to meet this need. It was during the Muromachi period that the katana and tantō came into being. By the sixteenth century, Japanese bladesmithing had become so renowned throughout Asia that the Japanese turned to large scale manufacturing of swords as an export to China. Smiths at Sakai also crafted knives for cutting tobacco, which had been introduced by the Portuguese. The Sakai bladesmithing industry received a major boost from the Tokugawa shogunate (1603–1868), which granted Sakai a special seal of approval and enhanced its reputation for quality.
The Haitorei Edict in 1876 banned carrying of swords in public, which, combined with the decimation of the samurai class caused a heavy decline in the number of swords produced throughout the country. Sword-making was completely banned following World War II and did not resume until 1953, under heavy restrictions to preserve it solely as an art. In modern-day Japan a swordsmith is still only allowed to manufacture two swords a month by law, for example. As a result, many smiths travel to Taiwan or China to make extra swords for the export market as foreign-made swords are also illegal in Japan. Bladesmithing is still practiced in the cities of Sakai (Osaka Prefecture) and Seki (Gifu Prefecture).

The Germanic Migration period peoples also had advanced bladesmithing techniques for their level of technology. Migration Era smiths would often forge-weld blades of multiple materials, and their blades were typically double-edged and straight. Migration Era blades were often forged with a hard steel edge wrapped around a pattern welded core. Pattern welding was adopted from the neighbouring Romans, who had employed such technique since the second century AD.
Bladesmithing was common practice in India and the Middle East during the Middle Ages. A special type of steel known as Wootz or Damascus steel was often used in these areas. The term Damascus steel can refer to two different types of artefacts. One is the true Damascus steel, or Wootz steel, which is a high carbon alloy with tremendous edge retention possibly due to its composition of carbon nanotubes and carbide nanowires, with a wavy surface texture originating from the crystalline structure of alloy metals such as tungsten and vanadium - elements that occur naturally in iron ore from southern India - to the surface during the manufacturing process. This is still in debate as metallurgist John Verhoeven at Iowa State University believes the nanowires to occur in most steels. The other is a composite structure made by welding together iron and steel to give a visible pattern on the surface, called pattern welded steel. Although both were referred to as Damascus steels, true Damascus steels were not replicated in Europe until 1821.
Between the 15th and 17th centuries the Toledo sword-making industry enjoyed a great boom, to the point where its products came to be regarded as the best in Europe.
Bladesmithing began declining after the Industrial Revolution. With improvements in steel production, bladesmiths no longer had to forge steel and knives could be machined from flat bars of steel. As cutlery companies moved to mass production of blades and machine tools became more available, the art of forging steel began to disappear as knifemakers could grind blades out of existing stock. By the mid 20th century, bladesmithing had been relegated to a cottage industry carried out by a handful of bladesmiths.
One of these bladesmiths was William F. Moran, who forged his knives using a coal forge in the manner of a blacksmith using a hammer and anvil to shape the steel. Moran began trying to revive the ancient process of forging Damascus steel in the late 1960s. However, no living bladesmith knew the exact techniques and without a recipe for the process, it was in danger of being lost; through trial and error he taught himself pattern welding and referred to his end product as "Damascus steel".
In 1972, Moran was elected president of the Knifemakers' Guild. The following year he unveiled his "Damascus knives" at the Guild Show and created a revival of interest in the forged blade, and along with the knives he gave away free booklets detailing how he made them, to encourage other knifemakers to take up the hammer and anvil. In 1976 he founded the American Bladesmith Society (ABS). Despite its name, this was an international group of knife makers dedicated to preserving the forged blade and educating the public about traditional bladesmithing techniques. The handful of traditional bladesmiths in the 1960s rose to several hundred by 2005.
The basic art and principles of forging a blade has remained similar for thousands of years and the modern bladesmith uses a variety of tools and techniques in order to produce a blade. Forges formerly fed by wood, coke, or coal are still in use, but gas forges are becoming the standard. Likewise the smith's hammer is being eclipsed by the use of hydraulic forging presses and power hammers.
Modern bladesmiths use a variety of steels to produce their blades, most commonly high carbon steel, such as SAE 1075 or SAE 1095 (the '10' representing the 10-series carbon steels, while '75' '85' and '95' reflect the carbon content of the steel), tool steel such as O-1, A-2, D2 other tool or high carbon steels, or a variety of steels welded in layers, commonly referred to as "Damascus".
When forging, the blade material is heated to a high temperature or forging temperature in a forge and shaped with a hammer on an anvil to achieve the desired shape, often to near final dimension, where very little stock removal, if any, is required to finish. Steel can be folded either to form decorative pattern welded steel or to refine raw steel, or as the Japanese call it, tamahagane. Grain size is kept at a minimum as grain growth can happen quite easily if the blade material is overheated.
Swords and longer blades, in modern times, are often crafted of 5160 carbon spring steel, which is not as hard or brittle as a high carbon steel (such as 1095), but is more durable and less prone to breakage, and therefore more suitable for longer weapons. 5160 carbon spring steel is sometimes used for leaf springs in American trucks, making it readily available in the US. In Europe, EN-45 is more commonly used.
Many bladesmiths are able to forge a special type of steel using a technique called pattern welding, producing a metal erroneously referred to as Damascus steel. Modern pattern-welded steel can be highly decorative as well as durable (if welded in certain ways with proper steels), and is often used in custom knife- and sword-crafting. Bill Moran is said to be the "Father of Modern Damascus Steel".

Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II: The Only Way We Make It Through Is Together
As a leading voice for the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II is working on overdrive - always, but especially now.
On June 20, Barber will guide the nation's first digital Mass Poor People's Assembly & Moral March on Washington. The goal, in his words, is to change the narrative about America's poor and interlocking issues like racial inequality, the lack of police accountability and voter suppression.
And his new book, We Are Called to Be a Movement, was published by Workman Publishing earlier this month.
"America is going to really have to wrestle with two questions: One, what does it say when a black man can be downtown and end up choked to death by a cop? The second thing is, that in this moment, while racism is certainly [tied] to George Floyd, and his death, we cannot forget the policies that kill people every day as well.
What I mean by that is, there are thousands who die from the lack of health care. Thousands who die from poverty. Thousands who die from ecological destruction. Many of them are African American and brown people. They die just the same. They just die slower [than George Floyd] and we don't see the crushing [weight] of policy violence on their necks. If we're going to deal with racism, we cannot be a society that just talks about racism when somebody is shot or somebody has a knee on their neck. Then we talk about it a little while and it goes on. We must look at racism and classism. Somebody asked me, 'Is it race or class?' I said, 'It is.'"

Q: Вычислить интеграл методом Ньютона Задача: решить интеграл методом ньютона, при этом использовать функцию для вычисления значения интегралов, передавая подынтегральную функцию в функцию integral() в качестве параметра. Интеграл - (N=15).  Формула:
Саму программу посчитал, но решает она неправильно. Получаемые значения меньше, чем должны быть. Проверял с помощью Вольфрама.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

double ff(double x) {
    return cos(x) / (1 + sin(x) * sin(x));
}

double sf(double x) {
    return x * exp(x + 1) / 2;
}

double Integral(double a, double b, double (*f)(double), int N) {
    double h = (b - a) / N, result = f(a) + f(b), copy = a;
    for (int i = 1; i <= b - 1; i++)
    {
        copy += h;
        if (i % 3 == 0) result += 2 * f(copy);
        else
            result += 3 * f(copy);
    }
    return 3 * h / 8 * result;
}

int main() {
    printf("integral = %lf\n", Integral(1, 5, ff, 15));
    return 0;
}

A: Собственно, простая описка — удивительно, что вы ее не заметили: не
for (int i = 1; i <= b - 1; i++)

а
for (int i = 1; i <= N - 1; i++)

и сразу получаете -1.464176, что очень близко к точному -1.46395... Возьмите N побольше — и вообще совпадет :)

Автономні глибоководні станції проєкту 18510, шифр «Нельма» — атомні автономні глибоководні станції (АГС), входять в комплекс, що складається з носія (допрацьовані серійні АПЧ) і носимого апарату, самої АГС. За класифікацією НАТО X-Ray / Nelma — class nuclear special-designation submarine (DSV). Є спеціальними атомними підводними човнами / глибоководними технічними засобами. Відносяться до Головного управління глибоководних досліджень (Гугд) Міністерства оборони Російської Федерації.

Призначення
Імовірно, комплекс створювався для проведення розвідувальних операцій, постановки перешкод на маршрутах бойового патрулювання атомохода ВМФ РФ, рішення науково-технічних завдань, порятунку людей в екстремальних ситуаціях, операцій з підйому різного устаткування з затонулої в морі військової техніки ймовірного противника і для проведення інших спеціальних операцій.

За іншими даними, комплекс призначений для збору з дна уламків кораблів, літаків і супутників, затоплених в океані і проведення підводної розвідки на глибинах до 1 км.

Історія
За постановою №-722-271 ЦК КПРС і Ради міністрів СРСР від 25 вересня 1965 року передбачався початок ескізних робіт з проєктування автономної глибоководної науково-дослідної станції в ЦКБ-18. Головними в групі розробників стали Корсуков Е. С. та його заступник Бавілін С. М. Роботи за ескізним проєктом були завершені до 1970 року, а сам проєкт представлений в Минсудпром і командуванню ВМФ СРСР.

Розробку технічного проєкту атомних глибоководних станцій спеціального призначення в 1972 році за Постановою Ради міністрів СРСР передали в ЦКБ «Волна» Мінсудпрома СРСР. Головним конструктором нового комплексу призначений Бавілін С. М., в конструкторську групу також увійшли Тєрєшкін В. М., Дубницький Д. Н., Уваров В. А., Дешкін Е. А., а головним конструктором енергетичної установки став Романов Б. Л. Конструкторської групою були розроблені і підготовлені два ескізних проєкти — автономної глибоководної станції (АГС) /  проєкт 1910 «Кашалот»  / і комплексу, що складається з носія і носимого апарату /  проєкт 1851 «Нельма»  /.

Для відпрацювання конструкторських рішень і як дослідне судно був виділений від ВМФ  'ПЛАРК К-170'  проєкту 675 зі складу 11-ї дивізії 1-ї флотилії Північного флоту ВМФ СРСР. До 1973 року були завершені чорнові технічні проєкти, і в січні 1973 року К-170 поставлена на СРЗ «Зірочка» в Сєвєродвінськ для доробок. Роботи виконувалися спільно з ЛПМБ «Рубін». Човен отримав новий тактичний номер — БС-86, потім К-86, пізніше КС-86. У 1974 році СПМБ Машинобудування і ЦКБ «Волна» пройшли злиття, нове об'єднання отримало назву СПМБМ «Малахіт». В ході робіт, за пропозицією Бавіліна С. М., був змінений техпроєкт в частині енергетичної установки АГС.

Відповідно до Наказу Головкому ВМФ СРСР, для експлуатації глибоководних станцій в жовтні 1976 року було сформовано загін гідронавтів. У загін відбиралися люди, що служили на підводних човнах не менше 5 років і є членами КПРС. Вимоги по медичній частині були аналогічними вимогам для космонавтів. Першим офіцером загону став Чеботаєв П. А., він і зайнявся подальшим формуванням загону на території 39-ї бригади споруджуваних підводних човнів на проспекті Римського-Корсакова в Ленінграді.

У деяких джерелах вказується, що подальшою розробкою проєкту і детальним доопрацюванням АПЛ проєкту 675 до типу «судно-носій АГС» (проєкт 675Н / 06754) доручили нижньогородському ЦКБ «Лазурит», керівник проєкту — Герой Росії Кваша М. Й. Частково, це може бути правдою, оскільки СПМБМ «Малахіт» займався проєктом 1910 «Кашалот». Але ця інформація в офіційних відкритих джерелах не підтверджена.

На початку 1980 року на Ленінградському Адміралтейському об'єднанні (зараз «Адміралтейські верфі»), почалася підготовка до будівництва першої АГС. АС-23 закладена 25 вересня 1981 роки (заводський номер 01429). Спуск на воду відбувся 30 жовтня 1983 року. Відповідальний здавач — Сусленніков М. Є., представники від ВМФ СРСР — Семенов В. С. та Попільнух Г. А. У 1984 році, в ході проведення випробувань, вперше західними службами був помічений АГС. У 1986 році вперше було здійснено підводне стикування. Комплекс АГС-носій зарахований до складу 29-ї бригади підводних човнів Червонопрапорного Північного флоту СРСР (в/ч 13090) з базуванням на Оленью Губу (Снєжногорськ-1) 30 грудня 1986 року. Командир АГС — Терехов Ю. А. Інформація про подальшу службу АС-23 є закритою і в відкритих джерелах не публікувалася. АС-23 — КС-86 є єдиним комплексом, побудованим за проєктом 18510 «Нельма». У 1991 році замість КС-86 прийшло інше судно-носій КС-411 (проєкт 09774). 24 червня 1991 року КС-86виключено з бойового складу ВМФ і поставлено на відстій в губі Оленья до 2000-х років, потім розібрано на метал. Імовірно, з 2009 року комплекс АС-23 — КС-411 знаходиться в Сєвєродвінську на СРЗ «Зірочка».

Конструкція
АС-23 має повну водотоннажність близько 1000 тонн і оснащений одним реактором потужністю 10 МВт. Корпус виконаний з титанового сплаву. При проєктуванні, рубка не була передбачена, але через те, що люк шлюзового відсіку заливався водою навіть при незначному хвилюванні моря, пізніше вона була змонтована в ході чергового ремонту. АГС озброєння не має. Для проведення глибоководних водолазних робіт оснащений барокамерою.

Модернізація
За підсумками дослідної експлуатації АГС АС-23 був запропонований ряд доробок для внесення в проєкт серійного будівництва. Після реалізації проєкт отримав нове позначення 18511 (1851.1), шифр «Палтус». За класифікацією НАТО Paltus — class За даним проєктом побудовані два АГС — АС-21 і АС-35.

4 грудня 2012 року з'явилася інформація, що на суднобудівному заводі «Зірочка» в Сєвєродвінську ведуться роботи з будівництва модернізованої АГС на основі корпусу, закладеного в 1990-х роках на «Адміралтейських верфях» в Санкт-Петербурзі з адаптацією до нового покоління човнів-носіїв типу БС-64 «Підмосков'ї». Але існує думка, що насправді модернізацію в ході капітального ремонту проходить АС-23, а 4-го корпусу немає.

АС-21
Закладена 26 грудня 1984 року. Добудовувалася за проєктом 18511. Спущена на воду 29 квітня 1991 року. Прийнята 28 грудня 1991 року в склад 29-ї БРПЧ Північного флоту (в/ч 13090) з базуванням на губу Оленья (Снєжногорськ-1). Відповідальний здавач — Сусленніков М. Є., представник від ВМФ — Михайлов А. І., голова держ. комісіі — Холод В. В. Перший командир АГС — Грицько М. В.

АС-35
Закладена 20 грудня 1989 року по проєкту 18511. Спущена на воду 29 вересня 1994 року. Прийнята 12 листопада 1995 у склад 29-ї БРПЧ Північного флоту (в/ч 13090) з базуванням на губу Оленья (Сніжногорськ-1). Відповідальний здавач — Сусленніков М. Є., представник від ВМФ — Мухін В. М., голова держ. комісіі — Хмиря В. Л. Перший командир АГС — капітан 1-го рангу Щербаков Ю. А. 22 липня 1996 року успішно завершено останній етап Державних глибоководних випробувань АС-35. 24 липня 2012 року між НІПТБ «Онега» і ЦС «Зірочка» підписано договір № 92-44/12 за яким передбачається розробка конструкторсько-технологічної документації проведення робіт на АГС АС-35 безпосередньо в транспортному доці ТПД-70. 5 грудня був підписаний ще один договір № 92-20/12 на розробку проєкту середнього ремонту замовлення зав. № 431 в умовах ВАТ «ЦС» Зірочка ".

Подальший розвиток
Подальшим розвитком проєктів атомних глибоководних станцій 1851 «Палтус» і 1910 «Кашалот» став проєкт 10831 «Калитка».

Представники
Всього за проєктами 1851 та 18511 було побудовано три АГС, які входять до складу 29-й ОБрПЧ Північного флоту.
Інформація та їх історія служби засекречена.

Цікаві факти
 Службовці на судах-носіях підкоряються командуванню ВМФ РФ, а службовці на АГС — підкоряються безпосередньо міністру оборони Російської Федерації.
 Службовці АГС мають статус гідронавтів.

Please let us know if you have not recieved all physical rewards. According to backerkit, everything has shipped (except those pesky PDF Pathologies).
Jeremy Hochhalter, Tristan Godfrey, and 4 more people like this update.
I have not, but it might have been an address issue. I was out of town when the change-address reminder email came and perhaps it got sent back to you.
Yep, it looks like all physical stuff has got here.

Custom orthotics are shoe inserts that are moulded to your feet, helping to relieve high pressure areas by stabilizing and cushioning your feet to restore normal gait. This helps to decrease joint and muscle pain in the lower body and back, and can be used to relieve symptoms of many common injuries including tendonitis, ankle injuries, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, diabetes, and more.
Get an assessment for custom orthotics.
Orthotics will not permanently change your anatomy and will function only when you are standing or walking on them.
If you are experiencing pain while walking or running, while standing for long periods, or while playing sports, you may need custom orthotics. Orthotics come in a variety of styles and easily fit into dress or running shoes, work boots, hockey skates, and most other footwear.


In an effort to cut expenses and unify the parish congregation, Transfiguration Catholic Community plans to begin celebrating Masses in only one of its three West Baltimore churches by August.
Transfiguration pastor Father Mark Carter, O.F.M. Cap., and the parish council are trying to determine which church will be used for Mass and what functions will be served in the other two church buildings.
Currently, Mass is celebrated at all three churches in the parish – St. Jerome, St. Martin and St. Peter the Apostle.
Holding Mass in just one of the three churches has been under consideration for the past few years and Father Carter said he and the parish council agreed the time was right to make the transition.
Though Jermaine Towns has primarily attended Mass at St. Martin since 1989 and will miss worshiping in that building if another church in the parish is chosen for services, he understands the need for the change.
Logistically, it's difficult to operate religious services in three separate buildings and it has become an economic strain, said Margaret Brogden, a parishioner who also runs the parish's youth ministry.
Father Carter said he hopes a concrete plan will be developed by the beginning of August determining which church will be the parish's place of worship and what services the other buildings will offer.
There are currently no plans to sell the other buildings, but to find efficient uses for them within the Transfiguration parish, said Bishop Denis J. Madden, urban vicar.


Before this year, I had never actually sat down to watch the Tony Awards. I never really had a reason to watch the actual ceremony. I mean, I like Broadway and all, but I've never been truly invested in it. However, I was invited to my friend's Tonys party this year, so I thought I'd give it a chance. It was a blast! Friends, good food, good sangria, a Playbill puzzle (!), and the Tonys. It was a potluck affair, so of course I offered to bring dessert! I keep looking for reasons to bake and try out new things for an audience, so this was a fun opportunity.
At first I was really excited to bake up some lemon cupcakes, but then I texted my friend and horror of horrors, she's not a big fan of lemon! I was a bit crushed, but I quickly bounced back and found a different recipe that would hopefully please everyone.
Enter these Snickers Cupcakes from Tracey's Culinary Adventures! So sinfully rich. The cupcake base is especially delicious, with a deep chocolate flavor and a tender crumb. And such lovely little domes! I broke up the process and made the caramel sauce the day before and then the cupcakes and frosting the day of.
I waited to assemble everything until I got to my friend's apartment, because I knew it would be a disaster on the subway if I did otherwise. Once I got there, I gave the frosting a good whipping and then put together the surviving cupcakes. Despite my care, there were still a few casualties, but we'll get to those next.
Since there were a fair few crushed cupcakes, I had filling and frosting left over. A couple of the girls at the party solved that little problem by just eating the two straight! Can't say I blame them, though, as I was tempted to do the same.
I didn't want to just eat the cupcake crumbs alone, so I combined them with the remaining frosting, and make cake balls with a chocolate coating. Such a good idea!
I have bad luck. Really, I do. Especially during last August, a little while ago, and now. What is up with this? Is this karma for my jokingly snarky and sarcastic comments? If so, I think I'm going to have bad luck for the rest of my life because I simply can't give up the snark and sarcasm. It's not like I really mean it when I say those things . . . and I can't really help when I say them, it just kind of happens. Otherwise, I think I'm a pretty nice person. So why is it rain on Emerald Thunder Spring again? Have I been too happy lately and this is supposed to bring me back to equilibrium? If so, it can stop now, please, because I haven't been *so* happy that it warrants all of this.
Nope, not over yet. I should have figured something else would happen. I started writing this before my cupcakes were out of the oven, and when I went to get them they were completely FLAT. No pretty little domes at all *sigh*. At least they still taste good. I was planning on covering them in buttercream anyway, but this just follows along with the string of seemingly small issues that have been building up over the last few weeks. I'm probably going to need to have a nice little panic attack/breakdown in a while if it keeps up, though. Then I'll be good to go. I think that will probably occur around the time I get my final grades back for the semester, or rather, as I'm waiting for the first one to show up and everyone else here has already gotten them all back.
Nope, the cupcakes not coming out right wasn't bad luck. It was sheer STUPIDITY. The goals of my bonanzas REALLY aren't working out well because evidently I can't even read a measuring cup properly right now. The recipe called for 1 3/4 cups of flour and I only put 1 1/4 cups, and the same thing happened for the sugar, as it called for 1 1/2 cups and I only added 1 cup.
This really serves me right for BWCD, or Baking While Completely Distracted. I blame the gloomy weather. I've been really reflective today for some reason–listening to Backstreet Boys ballads, thinking about my life, what I really want, and why I am the way I am–and I spent a good chunk of time just listening and staring out my window at the city while pondering. For some reason this usually happens when the weather is bad, but at least today gave me a chance to slowly figure it all out. I stress the SLOWLY part.
Just like I needed to figure out (but this time quickly) what to do with these cupcakes that completely stuck to the pan because I don't like to use liners (I'm a huge fan of the outside layer of cakes/cupcakes/brownies. I love that contrasting texture. Yum!). I had crumbled cake in one hand and delicious chocolate buttercream in the other. That could only mean one thing: CAKE BALLS! I crumbled up the failed cupcakes (they still tasted okay, thank goodness) and mixed them in with the frosting.
Then I refrigerated the mixture for a while and formed them.
I coated some in melted peanut butter semi-sweet swirl chips.
And some in melted white chocolate chips.
Finally, something is going right, because they tasted wonderful. I only wish I had sprinkles or something to decorate the tops.

Q: How to get a custom screen resolution in Xwayland? I have been figuring out to set a custom screen resolution. With custom screen resolution, I mean to say a screen resolution with a resolution that is unsupported by my video card. It is possible in Ubuntu, I had set it to 4K resolution where my laptop just supported 1920x1080. It's possible in Ubuntu because the screen resolutions in Ubuntu are handled by a utility called 'xrandr'. I tried the same codes as I did with the Ubuntu, but they won't work because the screen resolutions here are handled by 'xwayland'.
Does anyone have any idea to get a custom screen resolution on Fedora with xwayland?

A: Either deactivate Wayland:

Either this tutorial (did not work for me cause i wanted a higher resolution than provided by the display options)

← Women! Why must you assault men with your evil sexy outfits?
Life Before Feminism: "It's a shame to whip your wife on Sunday." →
"Men run faster than women." "Hence rape." Or, Reddit in a nutshell.
Here's a little exchange from Reddit that I found on ShitRedditSays that basically sums up everything that's less-than-charming about the site. We start off with a blanket statement of male superiority, followed by an enthusiastically upvoted rape joke, and then we get massive downvoting and a "fuck you" to someone who's challenging the blanket statement. (If you follow the link you'll see that Butch_Magnus isn't the only one jumping on piv0t.)
The context: This is from the Pics subreddit; they're discussing a "sexist treadmill" with a control panel that looks like this:
Posted in: douchebaggery, misogyny, rapey, reddit, that's not funny!
Holly Pervocracy says:
This shared history thing is getting a bit "queer people hunted the mammoth."
…That was poorly phrased. But I mean that LGBT folk are not the only people with a history of oppression for not having the "right" sexual relationships.
darksidecat says:
reason asexual people are not allowed despite arguably having a tougher time than bisexual people
wtf? What the hell kind of bizzarro world claim is that. Ah, the "you must accept asexual people because of X bi erasure/biphobia". Bi people don't actually show statistical reductions in issues against lesbian and gay people (sometimes, they actually show more). The only way for a bi person to get a "pass" is if they never engage in any non-hetero activity, never voice those desires, are deeply closeted, and have their identity totally erased by those around them. The closet it not a privilege.
As to trans people, like I said, there is some overlap and some non-overlap, some shared identity w/LGB etc. some not. Connected does not equal being the same. The ties between LGB etc community and trans community are their own rather complicated things. But cis non-queer asexuals in attempting to claim queer identity aren't making the claim to those ties at all, and they aren't making a claim to similar ties. What they claim is stigma based on being asexual/not fully conforming to sexual norms, and that does not give them a right to a claim any more than a large variety of other groups without those ties.
@holly, I see it as the usual issue of people who aren't part of an oppression trying to claim it, first that it furthers the marginalization of the oppressed group by denying it rights over even its own spaces and priorities, second, that people want to claim the label and access but don't want to have the experiences, third, that people can and do use it as an attempt to silence the oppressed group in discussions and arguments ("now that I call myself queer, let me 'splain queerness and everything else to you actual queer people"), fourth, reclaimed terms carry a history of pain and an attempt by outsiders to "reclaim" them does nothing but further that pain, fifth, the appropriaters generally want the help of the group but don't want to be expected to be helpful/non-stigmatizing towards it. I have seen these things play out with cis hetero kinksters appropriating the queer label. I do think appropriation can be harmful and dangerous.
Lauralot says:
"now that I call myself queer, let me 'splain queerness and everything else to you actual queer people"
kirbywarp says:
@DSC:
"Ah, the "you must accept asexual people because of X bi erasure/biphobia"."
I had no idea that this was such a common argument that it deserved sarcasm as a response.
"The only way for a bi person to get a "pass" is if they never engage in any non-hetero activity, never voice those desires, are deeply closeted, and have their identity totally erased by those around them. The closet it not a privilege."
I fail to see how you can say that a bi-person must be "deeply closeted" in order to not express interest in non-hetero activity. The whole point is that bi people are interested in both hetero and homo relationships. It's like saying an omnivore has it just as bad as a vegetarian in a culture where meat-eating is the expected norm. It isn't great, sure, because you can't express a fundamental part of who you are… but still.
And then you go on to assert that a person who doesn't eat food at all faces none of the stigma that the vegetarian and the omnivore do. -_-
Rutee Katreya says:
All people who disagree with you are hateful trolls. Nice.
Because you know, gay people are never reduced to the sex they're having.
…Asexuals have substantially more of a history of acceptance though, or at least a half-state of it because it's for totally different reasons. LGBT may not have hunted the mammoth, but it's much harder to find acceptance of them throughout history. A number of religions provided sufficient excuse for asexuality to be expressed.
Mind, I'm inclined to give them the label; they've still faced at least some persecution, and are currently marginalized. But I see precisely where DSC is coming from; Remember the anti=miscegenation laws? Not all sex done wrong is queer. I don't like zir choice to oppose this, but an overhoned rush to protect oneself from the majority is sort of an unfortunate side effect of being marginalized. No, that doesn't make it okay.
@DSC: If being transphobic, biphobic, or homophobic is grounds to stop being queer, we're gonna need to kick out most of those letters. There are plenty of cis transphobes among LGB, heterosexist trans people, and anti-gay or transphobic bi people. LGBT is already the worst alliance in history; It isn't fair to hold asexual people to a different standard.
Never claimed otherwise. But there are far, far better ways to express it than "YOU'RE JUST LIKE NWO!"
BlackBloc says:
I'm not even going into the debate of whether asexuals can be considered as queer, since I'm still reeling from the revelation that apparently for some people foot fetishists (yes, even cis hetero male ones) or, say, poly doesn't count as queer.
Mandolin says:
This metaphor seems troublesome? It may work for some bi people, but for many monogamous bisexual people, they'll be perceived as either vegetarians or meat-eaters a lot of the time. A bi person in a relationship with someone of the same sex needs the vegetarian option as much as their partner.
amandajane5 says:
I would just like to point out that this thread is an excellent example of how feminists are a hive-mind and an echo-chamber.
zhinxy says:
Kirby, I too am in favor of "give asexuals the queer label," here. But I I think you're seriously minimizing the issues that face bi folk here, in the service of saying that asexuals "arguably had it worse."
Being attracted to both genders doesn't mean we could just take or leave who we wanted to be with, for example. "I'm in love with this woman, here, but it's okay! I can just be with this man, and since, you know, I'm attracted to men too, it's not really skin off my back. It's like how I don't HAVE to eat broccoli" – Come on, kirby, you aren't doing anybody any favors, here. 🙁
but for some inexplicable reason asexual people are not allowed despite arguably having a tougher time than bisexual people…
Lemme get this straight;
Asexuals get to use religion and religious fervor as a cover to actually be asexual, and this is 'arguably worse' than bisexuals having to pass as heteros. I see.
@Madolin and Zhinxy:
No, I understand what you both are getting at. I was thinking of bisexuality in the wrong way. *sigh*
My main point was that if the queer label included such a diverse group of people, where each group over history had very different experiences from the rest, how could you accuse asexual people of trying to claim a history that they didn't experience by wanting to be considered "queer" as well?
I don't know what asexuals you're around, but the asexuals I know get religion thrown at them to tell them how sinful they are. They're meant to "be fruitful and multiply."
captainbathrobe says:
Everyone who fucks funny (incl. not fucking) is a gazork, and they are all invited to the Gazork Club meetings,
Well, my fucking is fucking hilarious, so do I get to be in the club? 🙂
@Rutee:
Ok, that is one comparison that is in favor of asexuals having an easier time. But as Lauralot pointed out, this isn't the case for everyone. Taking my words of "asexuals having an arguably worse time than bisexual people" to mean "asexuals have it worse in every conceivable comparison to bisexual people" is just being dishonest.
I'm aware now that I was thinking of bisexuality in the wrong way, but that still isn't a very charitable response…
Unless they're not. There's sufficient excuse in most Christianities to use devotion to god as a reason not to do so. It's not just catholic priests that do this. It's by no means ideal, but it is also honest-to-god asexuality, not passing as hetero. Barriers to entering a religious life can wash this off (Not being brahmin caste for much of Indian history, f'rex), and a substantially smaller number of religions do actually expect kids from their priests, but most give an excuse. It's far more widespread than queer acceptance, of which I can only think of a few sets of cultures in given periods that had any.
Uh, I never said that was the case for all asexuals?
I really have no idea what's being argued about here anymore.
To be clear: It isn't cool that the life was only open to those who entered the priesthood. That is still restriction of choices, and possibly passing in some other aspect of your life.
The use of bi and trans identity as a rhetorical beatstick in these arguments is so common that you pretty much can't have one without it.
I fail to see how you can say that a bi-person must be "deeply closeted" in order to not express interest in non-hetero activity.
Ensuring no one ever finds out you are bi or have bi desires means being deeply closeted. Not doing this means facing stigma. While bi people in "opposite" sex relationships may have some access to certain legal things because of it, social access is generally predicated on being erased (being taken for hetero and believed to be hetero) and there are also unique challenges. Not to fucking mention that not all bi people are cis and in monogamous "opposite" sex relationships.
The whole point is that bi people are interested in both hetero and homo relationships.
No, bi people are interested in bi relationships. Also, cultural models of sexuality that bi people face are completely nonanalogous to your example. Even if you are attempting to argue "passing" privilege (which, again, would certainly not even apply to all bi people, and, again, depends on being closeted), you fail to take into account that "same" sex sexual acts are seen as contaminating culturally and as creating a spoiled identity. If it is known that a person has engaged in "same" sex sexual acts, anything short of totally and completely denouncing them and claiming to no longer have those desires, they are generally taken as permanently marking the person. Again, this basically boils down to an assertion that bi people are privileged by being in the closet and by being considered not to have their desires and/or histories. The only way that bi people avoid stigma and discrimination is if the other person is totally and completely convinced they are not really bi, which is to be deeply closeted and/or totally erased.
Sorry Lauralot, I did my best. That'll teach me to comment on things I'm not fully up to speed on… -_-
Celibate priesthood wasn't an option in every culture. There's lots (such as traditional Jewish culture, in my personal experience) where everyone is pressured to marry–often in arranged marriages.
I didn't say it was an option in every culture, and even where it's present, it's not ideal to only be able to express your sexuality in that way. But it is an option that is present in substantially more cultures than LGBT acceptance.
ozymandias42 says:
To me, "queer" means "my gender and/or sexuality requires several sentences to explain fully." I mean, if it just means LGBT… why not just say LGBT? o.O
To me, the strength of "queer" is that it encompasses all the edge cases. A cis het boy who has slept with men before. A kinkster who identifies as a straight woman but doesn't mind being whipped by another woman. A straight man who married a closeted trans man and, post-transition, sticks by his husband's side because he loves him. Hell, even people who are attracted to "femininity and I don't care what bits you have" or "geekdom and I don't care what bits you have."
And, yes, asexuals and aromantics, too.
Polyamory and kink are more complicated, to me. I count someone as queer if they're poly as a major part of their identity. My mono fuckbuddy who is technically in a poly network but really dreams of a committed mono relationship… I don't count that. I'd count the "BDSM is my orientation" people as queer but not the "BDSM is fun but I could have a happy sex life without it" people.
I also like Mandolin's definition of queer as "people disadvantaged by compulsory heterosexuality." I wouldn't mind working with that one.
tl;dr: Sexuality and gender are complicated and "queer" is one of the few words I know that acknowledges how complicated it is, and I really don't want to make it be a synonym for LGBT.
Thanks for your post, ozy. I agree with every word.
Celibate priesthood as an option for men is also pretty functionally different from celibate options for women. Not that there aren't issues with being forced into the priesthood or monkhood in order to hide your sexual identity *anyway*, but I think "congratulations! in order to avoid having sex, you may be a nun!" is an even crappier deal.
Also, of course, you didn't always get to say "um… not interested in sex, will be a nun now" if your family was saying "this is the marriage we picked out. enjoy!"
Naira says:
Agreed, Ozy. Awesome post.
At the heart of it, I'm rather skeptical of words, in general. No matter how many words there are for aspects of sexual attraction/identity/orientation, they won't be enough, because it is a spectrum, not a set of categories. So, sure "queer" is useful in some contexts, but utterly useless in others.
Shora says:
Do we really need to get into an argument about how asexual people are oppressed and how much and how does that oppression compare with LGBT and Oppression Olympics here?
This isn't MRA's whining about how hard it is to be a middle class cis white male. This is about people who know a thing or two about social justice, who you've talked with and mocked with and argued with, who have a sexuality that is different and viewed as less than in the mainstream media. What earthly reason is there to erase their identity and deny their experiences of oppression?
Stop it. Just stop it.
I wanna clarify my position, because I kinda started this whole oppression thing, which was rather stupid of me to do.
DSC was saying that asexuals have no right to claim the history of oppression that queer folk have faced by appropriating the label. My point was that that history is not that different from others that do fall under the queer label, and in fact the groups that do fall under the label are so diverse in their history that it already is a bit of special pleading to say that one group can't join.
Righto… Time for me to be quiet now.
Kirby, FWIW, I understand what you're saying. I've had enough "I know what I mean" moments, so I can understand if you're frustrated too.
Viscaria says:
I don't know, it seems to me that self-identifying as queer should matter?
I'm a cis woman, so I have the privilege that goes along with that. Though I'm bisexual, I'm heteroromantic and very gender-conforming, so I have a heck of a lot of borrowed straight privilege as well. Casual sex isn't my thing, so I probably won't even ever fool around with a lot of women. I've never had a poly relationship, and I'm not sure I would. Given all of that, I don't personally identify as queer because I don't feel I can relate to a lot of the prejudice and difficulties associated with being queer (I do consider myself an ally!) But someone who just knew about the bisexuality and not all of the other stuff might consider me queer by default.
If someone who is asexual – and therefore very likely to be told that they are confused, that they should change how they feel about sex, that their sexual identity doesn't actually exist, that they are missing out on a valuable part of human life – wants to identify as queer, that seems pretty reasonable to me. I would consider them a lot more deserving of the label than me, even though some people would consider me queer without even questioning.
But as I said, I don't consider myself queer, and I can't tell people how their own community should work just because, gee, that's what a privileged cis practically-hetero would do, so it must be right :/
Things are complicated.
As far as what "queer" means… yea, I don't know. I'm not the one to suss that out seeing as I am a) cis and b) tragically straight. What I DO know is that it is not okay to look someone in the eye (figuratively) and say "You are identifying yourself wrong because your oppression doesn't count."
I am very, very upset to see Bagelsan's (and by implication, Lauralot's) identity erased in this space. Really, I have no words.
Sex outside of marriage has a long history of historical stigma as well (illegitemacy is actually one of the few fully legally established suspect classes under US law). Intermarriage between people of different religions, ethncities, races, etc. in some cultures as well. It's not just about the existence of historical stigma, but rather how these stigmas are related to group identity formation that are at issue here. Even if we conceded a historical stigma (I am not sure that argument holds up well in many cases, but for the sake of argument), I do not consider that concedeing the right to claim queer identity or that this stigma is one related to those of queer people.
I mean, if it just means LGBT… why not just say LGBT?
Because LGBT isn't the only way of naming those ways of viewing self or desire, and each of those terms has its own boundaries as well. For example, where do we place Aggressives in that list? Are they trans? Are they lesbians? Either one is more or less accurate in different cases. It's that tension that queer is supposed to address, not one of any sexual practice that may be considered deviant ever (cis heteros having affairs are considered deviant…), but rather one of naming a collection of identities regarding a certain system of interactions between desire, sex, gender, and social standards.
If being transphobic, biphobic, or homophobic is grounds to stop being queer, we're gonna need to kick out most of those letters.
This is true, but that bit was addressing the questions and comments about others regarding their inability to conceive how letting cis non-queer people use queer identity and demand access to queers spaces could be harmful. The question of why we should mind appropriation was raised.
I guess what I'm trying to say is asexuals are a group of people who are marginalized for not being straight enough, and that seems like a pretty good reason to choose to identify as queer.
DSC, why is it that asexuals should not be considered queer?
>>It's that tension that queer is supposed to address, not one of any sexual practice that may be considered deviant ever (cis heteros having affairs are considered deviant…), but rather one of naming a collection of identities regarding a certain system of interactions between desire, sex, gender, and social standards.
Affairs are a particularly bad example here. Adultery does not question or cause a revolutionary reevaluation of how relationships are socially constructed in society. An affair is not seen by society as an ideological repudiation of monogamous marriage as a concept, but rather a personal failure to adhere to contractual obligations. That marriage is a hard commitment to follow is an agreed upon fact in Western society. Contrast that with polyamory.
I find this whole argument ludicrous. LGBT is only coalition politics. The idea that I, a bi cis man, share a history of oppression with trans people or cis gay men is reductionist both of my struggles and theirs. In fact, given some lesbian feminist critiques of the gay rights movement, even the concept of homosexuality itself (as a category encompassing both gays and lesbians) might be seen as a gay men appropriation of lesbian history of oppression. The line people like DSC are drawing seem to me to be purely arbitrary and only a matter of how fine grained your level of analysis is.
It's that tension that queer is supposed to address, not one of any sexual practice that may be considered deviant ever (cis heteros having affairs are considered deviant…), but rather one of naming a collection of identities regarding a certain system of interactions between desire, sex, gender, and social standards.
Well, I agree a bit. Not all types of sexual deviance is "queer." Having an affair breaks norms about lying and fidelity (among other things). One could argue that flogging (as an example of kink) breaks norms about perceived violent behavior (the one hitting is see as cruel and sadistic) and blurs the line between "pain" and "pleasure" (on the part of the floggee–they enjoy something that is widely regarded as something to avoid).
So, in that way, so-called deviant forms of sex are deviant in different ways and break different norms. They're all lumped under a term like "deviant." Although they are "deviant," they are different kinds of actions, because they break social norms in their own unique ways.
So…what about asexuality makes its deviance different from what you think are queer relationships? What norms do you view an asexual identity breaking as opposed to other queer identities?
(I'm adding this, though I am echoing others; most recently BlackBloc)
Alpha Asshole Cock Carousel says:
why is it that asexuals should not be considered queer?
Again, my asexual hetero female friend does not want to identify or be identified as queer. Does that count? (BTW she identifies as an LGBT ally and actively participates in LGBT activism, so it's not like she's trying to avoid being associated with people who identify as queer).
@Alpha: But then again I've met trans women who didn't want to be identified as queer either.
@BB and, what? you have a problem with that?
I believe BB's point is that it's fine if member of X group doesn't identify as queer, but that doesn't mean that no one else from that group should.
Caraz says:
I gather it's not so much 'all asexual people should be considered queer' but rather 'all asexual people should be able to identify as queer if they wish'
Which I'd guess would apply to any of the other categories of people that could potentially fit under the umbrella of queer term. So I think self identification is possibly the most important factor.
@Caraz:
Yeah, that was the point of the question. DSC was arguing that no asexual person should be able to identify as queer, and I was asking why.
Oh, well no problem then. Carry on.
I always figured it was Social Justice 101 that people can Identify themselves however they see fit, and that "correcting" someone on their identity is asshole behavior.
I don't want to minimize the problem of appropriation. It is a thing! And a very bad thing! But that's a 200 level course at least and there are productive and nuanced ways to have a discussion about appropriation that is not telling someone "You are identifying yourself wrong."
Comrade Svilova says:
I'm with ozy on "queer" being a big tent term. As a bi woman, I have had too many people telling me I can't call myself queer to ever want to turn around and say that to someone else.
Just for clarification (and to Comrade Svilova in particular): just because I don't identify as queer does not mean I don't think other women with similar stories shouldn't either. I just mean it is the wrong term for my identity, my feelings, and who I am. Self-identification seems like the important factor to me.
But this is about asexuality, not bisexuality, so I'll shut up about that now. I just wanted to be clear.
I have to admit (if this wasn't already obvious…) that this is kind of a loaded subject for me because I feel like I'm on the fringe of queer and not-queer in a lot of ways. I'm not trans but not gender-conforming, bi but dating a man, kinky but not 24/7, poly but not living with my partners. I feel like my life is smack dab in the zone where it's easy for people in both the "normal" and the "real queer people" camps to dismiss me as just horny and goofing around.
And I do get a lot of cis-looking and straight-looking privilege. I don't live the same life as someone who's living with a same-sex partner or who's transitioned from their assigned gender and I know that I don't know what they deal with. I'm not about to shoot my mouth off about what that's like.
But at the same time it still rankles me to be told that I'm exactly a cis straight girl and should claim nothing more. I've had people try to impose rules like "you're not really bi if you aren't attracted equally to women and men" or "if you're not a man, you're cis," and it makes me feel… well, the same way I feel about limiting "queer" to a few narrow groups: like my sexual identity, or maybe just me, isn't worth taking seriously.
Um… so that's my personal issues around this. Wheee.
I totally understand that! Self-identification is the key. I was speaking about bi-erasure or the bi-phobia of some lesbians, but I should have made that clear, given that you'd just talked about bi identities.
I understand the problem with appropriation (by anyone), but I'm not convinced that policing other's identities is an effective way to deal with the threat of appropriation.

Conqueror 8066 – Johnny Marvin – 1932
The days of the Great Depression, in spite of the stalled economy, proved to be anything but a time devoid of happening, for times of unrest and discontent always seem to push men to action.
One such action took place on the nation's capital, during the summer of 1932; thousands of down-on-their-luck veterans of the Great War and their supporters marched on the capitol to demand the government pay their bonuses for their service in the war, which they were not scheduled to receive until 1945. Dubbed the "Bonus Army", the protestors built up a Hooverville along the banks of the Anacostia river. The legislators debated how to respond to the veterans' plea, but ultimately denied them their bonus. The Bonus Army's struggle reached its climax on July 28, 1932, when a riot broke out, resulting in two men being shot and killed by police. In response, President Hoover called in the Army to "surround the affected area and clear it without delay," so Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded a contingent of five-hundred infantrymen and six tanks against the protestors, and, despite Hoover's subsequent order to stop the assault, forced the veterans and their families out of the camp with tear gas, MacArthur claiming that the Bonus Army had been taken over by communists plotting to overthrow the federal government. The Bonus Army reconvened on Washington following Roosevelt's inauguration in 1933, and the new administration provided more favorable results, compromising with the veterans by offering them jobs in the CCC, or a free ride back home. Most of them took the job.
Needless to say, a sizable fraction of Americans were outraged by the attack on their own war veterans, and the media came out in support of the "forgotten man", paying them tribute in films like Gold Diggers of 1933. On this record, the "Ukulele Ace" Johnny Marvin sings in a "citybilly" style what is most certainly the first song dedicated to the Bonus Army, and probably among the earliest American protest songs on record.
Conqueror 8066 was recorded in New York City on July 28, 1932—the very same day the Bonus Army conflict reached its climax—by Johnny Marvin, who accompanies himself on guitar. Roy Smeck plays steel guitar, switching to banjo on the "B" side.
Johnny Marvin sings out in support of the dejected veterans on "I'm The Man That's Been Forgotten No. 1" on the first side of this record.
I'm the Man That's Been Forgotten No. 1, recorded July 28, 1932 by Johnny Marvin.
http://oldtimeblues.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Im-the-Man-Thats-Been-Forgotten-No-1.mp3
Marvin concludes his protest song on the reverse with "I'm the Man That's Been Forgotten No. 2".

Daanbantayan, Cebu Mayor Vicente Loot has tasked the Municipal Health Office and barangay officials to enhance the effectiveness of dengue control programs.
Loot made the directive after 66 cases of dengue have been recorded in the town from January 1 to February 8.
The municipality, however, has not recorded any incident of death resulting from the mosquito-borne disease, the Cebu Daily News reported.
On Facebook, Daanbantayan town reported that dengue cases were recorded in 14 of its 20 barangays.
Barangay Poblacion has recorded 14 cases; Agujo (12 cases); Maya (9 cases); Pajo (eight cases); Talisay (six cases); Bitoon (five cases); Bateria (three cases); and Logon (three cases).
Barangays Bakhawan, Lanao, Malbago, Malingin, Paypay, and Tominjao each recorded one case of dengue.


For CSC 475 (Music Information Retrieval) I built a clap sensor that our robot drummer could use for input so that it can do something useful without a MIDI source. This involved designing the sensor, purchasing components for it, assembling it, and writing some signal processing code to detect claps and output digital signals.
I built the sensor from scratch using the steps given here.

Home Expat in mexico Illegal COVID-19 testing labs shut down; Coronavirus test in Mexico are Free
Illegal COVID-19 testing labs shut down; Coronavirus test in Mexico are Free
Laboratory in Tampico closed for illegal tests of COVID-19
Authorities of the State Commission for Protection Against Sanitary Risks in Tamaulipas closed two private laboratories of the same company " Lister Laboratories " located in Tampico. The reason: practiced without proper certification, testing the COVID- 19, which, to say the state Health Department "leads to professional irresponsibility because its results also were reported to the Ministry of Health of Tamaulipas, as sets the standard for the national security problem caused by the coronavirus ".
According to the same testimony of those responsible for the place, 80 tests had been carried out in said laboratories at a cost of 2,300 pesos per test, when the health sector exams are free. Laboratory "Lister" does not appear on the federal government list of laboratories with recognition by the Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference. No tests carried out in the Lister laboratory had reported any results to the Ministry of Health and the people who came to take the test do not have official recognition.
In the particular case of a person from Tampico who claimed to be a carrier of the virus, the agency said, and it was under the supervision of the state health sector after undergoing the COVID-19 medical exams. The illegal practice of this laboratory was detected after a person of the female sex from Tampico published a video on the network demonstrating that he was carrying the virus. Of that, the State Health Secretariat had no record.
Laboratories were in Jalisco were also closed for offering COVID-19 tests
The Jalisco prosecutor, Gerardo Octavio Solís Gómez, reported that two laboratories that offered tests to detect COVID-19 were closed: one of them operated in a house, while the other subrogated the service.
The businesses are the Puerta Hierro laboratory, located in Andares, and the one who was subrogating the tests is identified as the Clinical Analysis Laboratory. Puerta de Hierro charged 6,500 for the test.
This week the complaint was received at the State Prosecutor's Office, so that personnel from that agency, the Ministry of Health and the Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks of the State of Jalisco (Coprisjal) went to the place.
There they found that "the laboratory referred to in the subrogation contract was a house-room" together with a local optician.
He said that "in the event of non-compliance with a series of administrative regulations, both laboratories were suspended."
The head of the Jalisco Health Secretariat (SSJ), Fernando Petersen mentioned that the Puerta de Hierro laboratory was investigated after the complaint of a young man who lives in the United States, but was visiting in Cuautla.
The Health Secretary asked people who underwent tests at the Puerta de Hierro laboratory more than 15 days ago to contact the agency's COVID hot-line.
Fernando Petersen reiterated that in Jalisco, there are only three laboratories that are certified to carry out the coronavirus detection tests: the State Laboratory, the IMSS Western Biomedical Research Center, and the Clinical Pathology Unit.
Where can a COVID-19 test be performed in Mexico?

Bikini bikinis high waisted bikini sexy bikini womens swimwear online
I won't be told what fantasy I'm: Iskra Lawrence wearing a bikini wearing a sexy clip, because she returned to Victoria's secret executive, he said he would not add a large size model to the brand show
Iskra Lawrence proudly shows off her hot curves and shakes her behind a sultry new video. When she returns to Victoria's secret executives, he says he won't play a big woman in the brand's annual show.
The 28-year-old British model boarded Instagram on Monday – the second day after the TV show in Victoria's secret fashion show – saying she refused to let anyone decide "what is fantasy."
"I didn't want to get noticed yesterday, so I'm releasing real shows right now," she wrote. "Because those cells, the rolls are cute, the shake is sexy, everyone should have confidence in the skin."
The Aerie spokesperson added that I would not be told what it is to imagine that I will only do this. "Who are we who make us beautiful, not just a beautiful ideal… proudly perfect, always #AerieReal."
In the clip, Iskra is shaping a taupe bikini with a high waist bottom as she faces the camera and blows a kiss.
The video is set to VictoriaMonét's hit song "You Like It", which was shot in a water bungalow surrounded by a crystal blue sea.
When Iskra reached the end of the dock, she raised her arm and shook her back as she looked at the water.
Iskra's post seems to be in response to Victoria's secret senior creative person Ed Razek's controversial comments on transgender and oversized models, which made headlines last month.
In an interview with Vogue, Razek was also the chief marketing officer of Creative Services, the lingerie giant's parent company, Limited Brands, explaining why he wouldn't be a transgender or oversized model at the annual show.
"If you ask if we have considered placing a transgender model in the show, or considering putting an XL model on the show, we have it," he said, adding straightforwardly: 'We are trying to make a special TV. Program plus [2000]. No one is interested in this, but still not.
Razek went on to say that he stopped using Instagram a few months ago and then detailed all the criticisms he saw on the social media about the brand.

Amanda Holden's red bikini will make you want to be on holiday now.
Can we become Amanda Holden this week? The British Talent Show has been celebrating her upcoming 10th anniversary wedding anniversary in the Maldives. jealous? we? never! The 47-year-old girl has been sharing her playful idyllic beach shots on the beach. On Monday, she gave her fans a photo of a bikini. We like her red two-piece, from Melissa Odabash. The top retail price for the scarlet suit is £99 and the retail price for the briefs is £99. Although expensive – this is something she can wear over and over again, but most importantly, if you want to invest, it is now available in a variety of sizes online. Did the beach ambulance eat your heart? The mother of two children and her husband Chris live in LUX* Resort, a five-star hotel with 193 private villas, including water and beachfront rooms. Fancy!
This is not the first time an ITV star has caused a sensation in swimwear. In May of this year, Amanda flew to Portugal and showed her amazing physique with the turquoise bikini of Melissa Odabash. A fan wrote: "The body of nearly 50 years old is like that, wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow! "
Before her tropical trip, Amanda looks ready to relax in her comfortable casual outfit – this is the ideal airport outfit! She bought a unique partner from Wyse London – a luxury online brand that focuses on cashmere in cheerful tones.
Keep the designer's theme – the mother of two children added Isabel Marant's black leather jacket. Holly Willoughby is also a fan of the brand and wore the same design in January before she appeared on Dancing on Ice – except that this Morning owner chose a refreshing white version.
Farrah Abraham Athletic Navy Thong Bikini in Maldives Vacation
Farrah Abraham will definitely explode in her tropical resort.
Last week, this reality TV star flew to the Maldives with her daughter Sophia. Since she set foot on the tropical island, Abraham has been showing her amazing figure – wearing countless different bikinis to show off her almost innocent body. The new photo posted by Radar once again shows one of the mothers, this time just wearing a dark blue bikini.
When she walked on the beach in a dark blue triangle bikini, Abraham certainly seemed to be part of the visitor. In the real Farrah fashion, the former teenage mother OG star left little imagination in a thin bikini top, tied to the bottom of the bikini. The back of the bikini is also very revealing, with thongs revealing the texture of Farrah. Sometimes she covers up a long, transparent white covering.
Some photos show Abraham walking alone on the beach, while many other photos show Farah – and her daughter – seem to be rowing on a clear kayaking. As Inquisitr shared a few days ago, the mother saw a white crocheted bikini at a glance, flaunting her enviable figure.
Abraham has also been sharing a lot of photos on her Instagram page. It seems that she has left the Maldives and stayed in Las Vegas. Her latest photo on the Instagram page shows herself – and her daughter Sofia – a famous sugar factory in Las Vegas where two girls are enjoying drinks and some multi-colored suckers.
This photo has won a lot of attention for the mother slash daughter combination, in addition to 680 comments, but also attracted more than 75,000 people who like it. Abraham recently became the headline news for another MTV show. As everyone knows, Abraham refused to give up his career in the adult film industry and was freed from the teenage mother OG. But as Inquisitr recently shared, Farrah will join the second season's Ex on the Beach cast.
This show is about single people looking for love, but there is a turning point – their predecessors will also appear. This means that Farah's boyfriend, Simon Saran, will appear on the show again and again. It took Farrah about 11 days to film the show, but it was reported that her performance time was about $300,000.
Tammy Hembrow shows off the rocky hard Abs, the sultry curve of the neon green bikini

Since her short trip to the beach on Monday, the beauty has been ruthlessly wearing a swimsuit on social media – this is one of her own designs.
In an interview with the Daily Telegraph on Monday, she revealed that she intends to integrate business and entertainment during her stay.
"My best friend lives in Sydney, I want to see her for so long, I can't be excited until the end," she told the newspaper.
