Disrupting extremist conspiracy theories
Roadmap People and Community

By Maya Bell
As the nation mourns another massacre by an alleged white supremacist, University of Miami researchers hope their team approach will counter those who act on hate.
The hate-filled, anti-immigrant screed that a lone gunman is believed to have posted minutes before killing 22 people and wounding dozens of others at an El Paso Walmart on Saturday echoes the sentiments of those who think there is an organized conspiracy to systematically replace white people with black and brown invaders.
As Patrick Crusius, the accused shooter who is now in custody, clearly stated in his alleged writings, "This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion."
What compels people like Crusius not only to embrace but act on what are known as white genocide or white replacement conspiracy theories, and more importantly how to disrupt them, is the very subject that an interdisciplinary team of University of Miami researchers is exploring—an endeavor that has taken on a renewed sense of urgency since Saturday's massacre. The mass shooting, which was followed by another in Dayton, Ohio, where the motive is still unclear, came just a day after it was publically acknowledged that the FBI considers extremist conspiracy theories a serious domestic terrorist threat, one that will "drive both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts."
"Obviously law enforcement has to address this, but both the El Paso shooting and the FBI designation of the very problem we are studying as a critical issue for our country is a great motivator," said political scientist Joseph Uscinski, a conspiracy theory expert and member of the University of Miami Laboratory for Integrative Knowledge (U-LINK) team that just unveiled its preliminary plans for countering extremist conspiracy theories (ECTs). "It makes us even more motivated to find countermeasures for this so we will try to release our results as quickly as possible."
Added fellow team member Manohar Murthi, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, "When we started our work a year ago, Charlottesville was fresh on our minds, so I think our team felt the urgency for this from the beginning. But now the larger public is recognizing that there is some urgency for understanding and countering this problem, which is not a new problem. ECTs have historical antecedents, but what is different now is online social media. Because there are no gatekeepers things are disseminated very quickly."
Funded by a Phase I grant from U-LINK, the University of Miami Laboratory for Integrative Knowledge, Uscinski and Murthi's Countering ONline Networked Extremist Conspiracy Theories, or CONNECT, team, recently expanded its membership to focus on ECTs in general, but specifically on the white genocide extremist conspiracy theory for the team's U-LINK grant.
That proved both prophetic and timely. As Murthi noted in discussing the CONNECT team's progress at a symposium for U-LINK grantees last week, the Australian man who killed 51 Muslims at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, this past March, and the Pennsylvania man who killed 11 worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last October both believed in the false white genocide theory.
So, too, Uscinski said, did the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who in protesting the removal of a statue of a Confederate general in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2018, chanted "Jews will not replace us!"—an explicit reference to the belief that a shadowy Jewish elite is orchestrating white replacement.
"Those who believe in white genocide theories have made it clear in their writings and their actions that they believe that corporations and governments are conspiring to get rid of white people and their culture and replace them with cheaper, non-white workers," said Uscinski, whose work on ECTs was cited in the FBI's internal memo acquired and released by Yahoo last Friday. "They believe that demographic change is purposeful and part of a conspiracy, rather than just the regular outcome of globalization."
Uscinski and his fellow CONNECT team members hope that their scholarly, multidisciplinary approach to understanding the links between ECT content, how people respond to it, and the effects of social networks will enable them to build a cognitive model to identify those who are disseminating or acting on those beliefs and design and deploy countermeasures to disrupt them.
To that end, they are in the midst of completing a random survey of 2,000 Americans on their beliefs about ETCs and their tendency to commit violence or engage in online harassment because of those beliefs. They plan to conduct another survey this fall to measure both the expression of extremist views on social media, and the effectiveness of counter-narratives designed to mitigate such divisive beliefs.
"We are interested in extremists, but we want to see what the roots of extremism and extremist behavior are so we can't just look at extremists," said Casey Klofstad, an associate professor of political science who helped design the CONNECT surveys. "We're looking at a chain process, whereby someone goes from underlying predispositions to belief systems to action. That's essentially the concept of the cognitive model that we're talking about."
Even in its infancy, the model is generating considerable interest. As Murthi noted at the U-LINK symposium, Jigsaw, which is the research arm of Google's parent company, Alphabet, already has a stake in the CONNECT research.
In addition to Murthi, Uscinski, and Klofstad, other members of the CONNECT team include John Fuchion, associate professor in the Department of English; Michelle Seelig, associate professor in the Department of Cinema and Interactive Media; Kamal Premaratne, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Stefan Wuchty, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science; Caleb Everett, professor and chair of the Department of Anthropology; Lisa Baker, head of Richter Library's Learning and Research Services; and Sandra Kübler, a linguist at Indiana University.

Q: How to document with Swagger @RequestParam Map I'm trying to document my RESTFUL API made with Spring Boot using Swagger UI, the problem is that when i open the swagger-ui.html to view my documentation.
When I open the controller on the swagger-ui.html to view my methods, they are blank, with only one parameter which is a Map type. Obvious with this map object I fetch the parameters I need and make the request to the database or whatever.
I would like to know how I could tell swagger that those methods need some specific values or arguments, not just a simple Map object , i would like to tell the user with the api doc that he needs to input the key1,key2,key3 to call this method.
There is an example of one method
@GetMapping("/technical/sma/**")
    public ArrayList<RegistroTecnico> recuperarSMA(@RequestParam Map<String, String> queryParameters) {
        return this.recuperarIndicadorAVG("sma",queryParameters);
    }

I would like to tell swagger to document the parameters needed for the method manually if there is no way.

A: It looks like there is no direct support from SpringFox in Spring boot application for Map type. You have to write your own custom plugin. You can get more details from this issue.
https://github.com/springfox/springfox/issues/1503#

A: I think till now there is no support for Map type parameter auto-detect doc from swagger.
If you need auto-detect Param from swagger just convert the map into POJO and wrap it in response body but for that you need to change request type to POST.

The 2nd International Festival – Competition of Chamber Ensembles for Young Performers took place in Mārupe in 2004. It was organized by the teachers of Jāzeps Mediņš Music School of Riga and Music and Art School of Mārupe. The musical and spring-like accent at the end of the school-year was lovely and welcomed. 70 children's chamber ensembles from 28 music schools, total 215 competitors and 68 teachers appeared to play and to listen music. It was nice to meet the little musicians from Latvia and to welcome guests from Moscow, StPetersburg, Kaunas and Vilnius.
Our thanks are due to the sponsors for their comprehension and responsiveness. (National Culture Capital Foundation, the Municipality of Riga District, the Municipal Council of Mārupe, Departmant of Culture of the City Council of Riga etc.).

Nestled along the Raritan River, New Brunswick City Center is lively, contemporary, and close to all Middlesex County has to offer. If you're seeking it, it's here and it's within walking distance: first-class nightlife, acclaimed restaurants, Big Ten sports, abundant parks and recreation areas, an inspiring riverfront, and a rich arts and culture scene.
Urban experts agree that one of the key attributes of a successful city is a commitment to work toward a shared vision and to build engagement between residents, businesses, and leadership at all levels. New Brunswick takes all this seriously, and at New Brunswick City Center, we put that commitment into action.
New Brunswick City Market, the management company of the City Center, was formed in 1987 as the nonprofit organization that oversees the city's Special Improvement District (SID), which includes over 400, retail, service, and restaurant establishments, corporations, and community organizations. Specifically, our focus is to promote the City Center as an exciting place to live, work and visit; and generally, to promote New Brunswick-The Hub City-as a premiere regional destination.
Working to enhance the economic and social vitality of the SID through a wide range of business promotions, marketing initiatives, holiday programs, year-round special events, and activities free to the public. To aid economic development and attract investment, we also serve as a main source for data and research on doing business in the downtown area.
Because appearance and décor are fundamental to attracting residents and visitors alike, we deploy a highly-visible and well-trained Clean Team that operates throughout the downtown area on a daily basis, to perform streetscape maintenance, spot-power wash and remove minor graffiti as needed. We also provide assistance to local businesses, including grants for façade and awning improvements. New Brunswick Public Sculptures also plays a part in making the city interesting and livable, and the first piece, a statue of Colonel John Neilson depicting the third reading the Declaration of Independence as was read in New Brunswick in 1776, was recently unveiled in Monument Square.
The organization celebrates local businesses and residents, and present awards for longevity in the downtown area, for significant investments in infrastructure and improvements, and for community-focused organizations and programs.
New Brunswick City Center is host to several events throughout the year that encourage residents and visitors to access the downtown with a wide array of offerings. Ciclovia is a global movement that began locally in 2013 and has expanded to two event routes three times a year, with over 15,000 participants biking, walking, running, exercising, rock climbing, and creating art along 3.4 miles of roadway that is closed to vehicles and opened to pedestrians. The event brings residents out to the streets to celebrate the community's diversity through active lifestyles and a focus on health and wellness. Other summer events include live musical performances, farm market, and mid-day motion stretching during the lunchtime hours; Independence Day celebrations and fireworks; reenactments of the Reading of the Declaration of Independence and Washington's Stand; and the Hub City Sounds Festival.
July also features the New Brunswick Annual Restaurant Week(s) – billed as "A Taste of Foodie Heaven" – raising awareness of the City's diverse range of dining options, chefs showcase their signature creations cooking-up special offers for a sizzling two-week extravaganza, July 14 – July 28, 2018.
The Raritan River Festival takes place in September featuring 5,000 rubber ducks dropped into the River for the Duck Race, along with the Central Jersey Jazz Festival, and the excitement surrounding Big Ten Football at Rutgers University. Later in the fall, it's Oktoberfest, with distinctive brews in the beer garden, live music, children's craft zone, plus an array of food and craft vendors. To round off the year, in December we host the Annual Tree Lighting, Horse Drawn Carriage Rides, a Holiday Market and the New Year's Eve Fireworks display, among other popular events.
There is a palpable sense of excitement in the air in the City nowadays, thanks to several development projects that will transform the downtown area. Chief among them is the $172 million New Brunswick Performing Arts Center, consisting of 25 stories and set to open in 2019, a massive project that will house the George Street Playhouse, the Crossroads Theatre Company, the American Repertory Ballet, the New Brunswick Cultural Center, and the Mason Gross School of the Arts, as well as over 200 mixed-income housing units and a 344-car parking garage.
Additionally, in an announcement back in March, Governor Phil Murphy outlined his support for a prospective development project in New Brunswick called "The Hub", in a 12-acre site downtown that would serve as a science, innovation and technology center, in collaboration with Rutgers University and local businesses, especially those in the medical, technology and pharmaceutical sectors. Although no firm details exist yet, the project has the potential to create a significant number of jobs and attract further investments that would have a positive impact for the local and regional economies.
New Brunswick, one of the fastest growing cities in the State, is ready to welcome the future with a shared vision and engagement between residents, businesses, and leadership, and New Brunswick City Center will be there to support those efforts every step of the way.

Dr. Jimmy McJamerson stood for something
H e stood his ground. However … Oscar Epps and others who knew him called it stubbornness.
"His stubbornness is what was unique about him," said Epps, an Omega Psi Phi fraternity brother and close friend. "In terms of discussions we would have, we both would say we were right and after discussion, he still would not give in."
He spoke his mind, Carolyn Collier said about her close friend since their days in the early 1970s as students at Grambling State University.
"If it was his opinion, he stuck with it, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, sometimes hard-headed, sometimes a lot hard-headed."
The foundation of his reputation was built on his forth-right approach to people and life.
"It is hard to find someone who is straightforward," said attorney John Belton. "He was honest about who he was and where he stood. That is unique in today's society. He was very honorable. You knew where he stood. You can respect a person like that."
Strong-willed is how Dr. Mildred Gallot described him. "He was determined to have his way about things," said Gallot, retired head of the History Department at Grambling State University where he taught for more than 30 years.
It was this force of will and determination about life and education that forged the Grambling brand known as Dr. Jimmy McJamerson. He was driven by a passion for truth, justice, and love for all humankind.
He stood his ground – on issues that were important to him, on the need for knowledge of African and African American history, and on the importance of family and friendship.
The ground where he first stood was in his hometown of Ferriday, La., in the Mississippi Delta, a region labeled by the federal government as the poorest in the nation.
The first in his family to go to college, he often reminded students that he did not learn to read until he was in the third grade. He said reading opened the world to him. His message to the young people who he often spoke to: "If I can do it, you can do it. It is never too late. But you have to do it."
He was determined to do things to improve himself and he wanted the same for other young African Americans whose lives he touched as a history professor, poet and motivational speaker.
His first road out of the poverty of the black soil of the Mississippi Delta was reading and history -a lesson he taught until the end.
Dr. Gallot recognized, early on, his passion for making sure students understood the role African Americans played in the history of this country and the world.
"I think he will be remembered as a person who tried to impart his knowledge of history to those with whom he came in touch," said Gallot who had worked with him since 1978 when he returned to his alma mater as a history teacher.
She said McJamerson went out of his way to ensure that black history was included in the required history courses he taught.
"Many other teachers simply used the textbook that did not have a lot about African American history," Gallot said. "Women and blacks were left out. He made a point of including them. We even had to write a handbook (to include women and blacks)."
"He was passionate about African and African American history," said Dr. Roshunda Belton, the current head of the History Department at GSU. "He was so passionate that students understand their history and their roots. That was why he loved Grambling so much and was so passionate about preserving the history of Grambling.
She said he often told his students they needed to know who they were so they would know where they were going.
Belton said McJamerson's lessons were not all about history; most were about life.
She recalled the time a student came to her office complaining about and asking why he was put out of a class.
"I knew right away he was talking about Dr. McJamerson," Belton said. "Because his pants were sagging, the cap on his head was tilted to the side and he had on earrings, I said to myself, 'I know why.'"
Belton said she had a conference with the student and McJamerson where the passionate professor explained to the student that he could not succeed in life with that type of appearance.
"The student came to class the next time pants up, earrings out and cap off," she said. "He has been a good student ever since."
For students in history, there was no avoiding the history and life lessons of Dr. McJamerson. He taught three of the required courses in the department.
"He had the class that everybody had to take, but some didn't want to take," said Micholas Thompson, a GSU graduate student in social science concentrating in history. "He was one of the toughest history professors. I was one of the students who wanted to take his class. At the end of the semester you would learn something about yourself, your race and the school."
History graduate Khris Hobbs echoed, "He did not play about education. In his class, you couldn't be half-stepping. You always had to come to class with your A-game or he would call you out on it."
"When I first met him, I knew then that I wanted to teach history as he did so greatly," Hobbs said. "I am forever grateful for him and Dr. Nanthalia McJamerson.
McJamerson's commitment to the well being of humanity permeated every aspect of his life. Collier explained: "If you were J-Mac's friend, you were his friend. No matter what you did, you were his friend. It did not matter about who you were, your job; it was your character that he always looked at. A friend to the end no matter what your faults, he took you the way you were. If he could encourage you, he did."
Epps said, "His greatest contribution was Jimmy. He gave of himself. He enjoyed the notoriety. He wanted to be in the lime light, but he gave of himself."
By the way, all who knew him agree, despite his stubborn streak, most of the time, Dr. Jimmy McJamerson was right.
He stood his ground.
Words of Rememberance
Dr. Jimmy McJamerson, aka "JMc", "Bubba", and as I called him with all affection, "Ayatollah", was a man of many interests, and strong opinions. Early on, I realized that praise from him was praise indeed. Conversely, if something required his opinion, and he kept quiet, you were grateful, and avoided meeting that "stare" of his. Jimmy grabbed life with both hands and refused to sit down, step to the back, or back down from it. History, art, music, spirituality, poetry, teaching, gardening, Omega Psi Phi, and Grambling State University were only a few of his many passions and outlets. His tremendous capacity to love family (including Nan, Jimmy, Nicole, the grandkids, and a host of non-related family), will not be forgotten. Goodbye my brother, you taught us how to live fully on your terms, and may your enormous spirit live on in all of us.
– Kathryn Newman
Grambling, La.
"Black folks don't understand that our creativity is a natural resource." In my 42 years on this planet I've only heard two people utter those words: my father and Dr. Jimmy McJamerson. Dr. McJamerson, or J-Mac, as we called him, did not believe in wasting potential, time, conversation or opportunity. To him, every moment offered something to seize upon for the betterment on one's life and the overall cultural currency of Black people. He was serious and expected those he engaged with to be just as serious and committed to being their very best… all of the time. This was at the heart of every conversation we shared over 24 years. Always challenging, probing, and looking for ways to forge ahead with new ideas and platforms. J-Mac embraced the world wide to produce a home studio radio show to share his love for music, poetry and historical conversation two years before Internet radio became a popular medium across the world. He wasn't sharing this to brag, but to probe my young mind and see how we could expound upon his discovery. This was in 2008, and that was when I truly understood why J-Mac would often chastise me when I wasn't in touch as often by phone or visits. Family and community as institutions can only remain healthy and grow through constant engagement. Not isolation and solitude. For J-Mac, communication was key. I am happy to have learned and utilized that lesson well before he passed away. I am even happier to have told Dr. Jimmy McJamerson that I love and appreciate him and all what he has meant to me while he was alive and well.
Peace Be Upon You, J-Mac.

"[Dr. McJamerson] was a brilliant man. He had a way with words like a bird's wings had a way with the sky."
– Johnathan Irvin
"Dr. McJamerson was a very affluent black man. He made me realize that as black men we have to have a passion for being great men and leaders in our community. I can remember him kicking me out of class because I had a hat on; then making me stand in front of the class and explain to them why I should be able to join the class again. That was a moment that exemplified what type of man he was, he was a man of dignity and respect. May God bless his soul…RIP"

"Dr. McJamerson was a very dedicated, powerful and influential teacher to me. He motivated and pushed you to think and be more than you ever thought you could. Dr. McJamerson made my experience at Grambling a very memorable one and a gave me a deeper appreciation for my history.

Imagine if you will, a young African-American male goes off to attend a Historically Black University. He is seeking a teacher to help guide him into becoming a man and gain knowledge of himself and his people. Well, I was that young man, and Dr. Jimmy McJamerson was that teacher. No words can describe that influential time in my life. I am very thankful that I got the opportunity to express my respect and love of our relationship to him face to face. I end by saying, now that Dr. Jmc has crossed over into the realm of the ancestors; I look forward to meeting up with him again on the next plane of existence. Hotep (Peace) Grambling Family.
– Walter Davis
He has always been "Mack" to me. Our relationship exceeded that of fraternity brothers over the past 20 years, to a position where we were simply family, through both good and bad times. The greatest moments often came when we used our A-type personalities to overcome moments of frustration, often to assist me. During recent years I realized how serious his health issues had become. However, his ability to persevere was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Although I have lost my dear friend, he will forever be a part of my life experiences. Truly, friendship is essential to the soul. I now must rely on one of his favorite expressions: "Life goes on."
– J. Edward Penny
Though we are comforted by the fact that our brother Jimmy is now with the Lord our God, there are no words to express our sadness over this untimely loss. Jimmy was an extraordinary individual who believed in excellence to the smallest detail . He was a mentor to those who were searching , an inspiration to the discouraged , a friend who's limits had no boundaries and a sterling example of what a Man should be. Thank -you for sharing your life , your passions , your friendship, your wisdom , and your love with us . Thank -you for inspiring those around you to always reach for the impossible.
– Lisa Hobdy-Martin
JMc was not tall in stature, but he was always the tallest in the room. His presence was felt because he spoke with authority and he spoke the truth. He spoke with an intelligence that amazed his students, peers and those who only met him in passing. He was the tallest in the room because he was bold and never backed down to the challenges put before him. Whether it was political or just dealing with people he deemed "special" he fought with an internal vigor to prove his point and right the wrongs around him. And what made my little friend a giant amongst men was his love for mankind. His compassion and friendship could never be measured in length or width or on a man's scale. If he loved you, he would give you his last. He would stand in the gap for you until you got to the other side of whatever you were dealing with. That is why I always looked up to him when he walked in the room.

I know through our communication that Jimmy surmounted many a battle, triumphed over adversity, and always maintained a positive attitude and overcame injustice and inequity on every front.

Thank you for unselfishly educating a nation and for being so bold about it. Thanks for pursuing your dreams and goals and for using what you have acquired to serve a nation of young servant-leaders. Thank you for never quitting when you faced great challenges that could hinder your planting seasons. Thanks for standing firmly on the High expectations of your students and never budging when we attempted to complain about rigor. Thank you for believing in my dreams so, that you afforded me numerous opportunities to get closer to them. Thanks for sharing your Beautiful Queen with me as a mother and mentor.
You are a brilliant, bold, intelligent King whose tutelage I am most grateful for. And as your journey as a formal educator has come full circle, may that cycle continue with students like myself. I pledge to always seek knowledge and wisdom formally and informally, and to pay it forward as you have done for me. I can never repay you for the ways in which you have contributed to excellence, but I can share what you have given me.

Daddy, let me start by saying thank you for all the love, knowledge, pride, courage, wisdom, sense of community, and strength you instilled in me. Dad, you're my hero and my number one inspiration in this life as I carry on without you to guide me. You taught me how to be a fearless Black man in the face of adversity, regardless of the situation. You also taught me to keep my chin up, because I am a McJamerson! You made me a brave fighter, and I thank you.
Sir, I need you to know that your life's purpose to teach, your legacy, and your powerful inspirational words will live on forever through me, and God willing, my children. I will teach them about their one-
of-a-kind, "diamond in the rough" grandfather. You gave me a moral compass to navigate my life the righteous way.
You used to say, "You only have one father." So I say to you, it's been an honor, a privilege, and a blessing to have you as mine. Pop, you did it all and you did it your way. I am so proud of you. I love you more than words can describe.
All who knew you were enhanced by your bold presence. I miss you so much already, but I'm comforted by knowing you are now pain-free, going up yonder with God now.
"Jimmy, Jimmy! Oh, Jimmy Mc, when are you coming back…"
Jimmy McJamerson II
My father was a small man, only about 5'7″ or so, but he more than made up for that. He had a big voice, and a big attitude to match. He was the only person I have ever met whose 'inside voice' was actually louder than his 'outside voice!' My childhood is filled with the sound of his roar-at some politician on TV, at some music he liked, at his students (and his children)… He would face down anything, challenge anyone, and never even considered the idea that he would be outmatched, or outclassed. It just meant that he would work harder, and roar louder. He would pit his will against the will of whatever (or whoever) was in his way, and usually his was stronger! That was his way.
My father loved big. Once he called someone his friend, they were his friends for life-unless he in- formed them otherwise. He loved his wife big-he was always calling me, telling me about some surprise gift he had for her, or some special thing he was going to do for her. He loved his children hard. He was not satisfied with a "once a week" telephone correspondence. He would call several times a week-and several times a day, if he didn't reach me the first time! He would argue with us over points of ethics, or some social issue of the time. It took me a long time to understand that the arguments them- selves were inconsequential in his mind-what Daddy was interested in was the way our minds worked. He was interested in strengthening our will. I think he figured that if we could stand up to him, we could face down anything (or anyone) else that came our way.
My father had big dreams, and big plans. It wasn't enough to want to write, or like to argue-I was destined to be a best-seller, or the finest lawyer in the country! (I'm neither, but he forgave me.) He didn't stop there, though. He loved Grambling State University in a way you seldom see in professors anymore. Teaching at the university was not just his job, it was his home and his life's work. He had big dreams and plans for every student he ever taught, and dreamed of a country transformed by powerful young Black people, who he had somehow touched along the way. He taught many people to believe in themselves, and push themselves farther than they ever thought they could go. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. Many in this town and at this university owe him much, and his happy roar will be sorely missed. He was a small man, my father–but he was larger than life.
Nicole McJamerson
You are an amazing professor. You have truly been an inspiration to me. I am not so selfish as to think only to me but I know to the many students that have passed through the hallowed halls of Grambling State University. Your passion for history has awakened the social consciousness of many students as they made decisions to impact global society. Your passion for education has awakened the consciousness of many students as they made determinations on their academic path.
Perhaps it was a kind word that you expressed by way of poetry or your excellent culinary skills demonstrated as you and Mrs. McJamerson hosted students in your home; Although hard to capture exactly what it is, I can assuredly say you have truly been a blessing! I salute you for the many accomplishments you have achieved. I applaud your many contributions made to Grambling State University. Grambling State University, and general humanity, is in a better state because of you.
Thank you, Dr. McJamerson, for all that you have done.

Jimmy was more than a friend to the Whitmore Family. He was a confidant and counselor during hours of distress who added no sweetness in his words but "fed servings" of poetry and wisdom that Guided and directed us to strength and maturity in family cohesiveness. Despite his height, he possessed the demeanor of an individual that made one notice his presence, even to the degree that our youngest daughter, Franchesca, called him "The King". This tenacious man who did not falter when the pressures of life tried to distract him from his goals left a legacy that will live forever. He was one who knew how to fight without surrender, demand without pleading and love to the end.

Anomalisa (Charlie Kaufman & Duke Johnson, 2015)
January 14, 2016 ~ Sean Gilman	~ 1 Comment
One of the last major 2015 releases to find its way to Seattle Screens opens this week at the Guild 45th (we still have 45 Years, Arabian Nights, In the Shadow of Women and Knight of Cups to come over the next several weeks), with the release of the latest film from Hollywood's favorite self-loathing narrative-tangler, Charlie Kaufman. Teamed with co-director Duke Johnson and producers Dino Stamatopolous and Dan Harmon (among others), Kaufman has adapted his own play into a stop-motion animated film about a man (voiced by David Thewlis) who travels to Cincinnati for a conference. Lonely and depressive, he first tries to reconnect with an old flame, then finds himself attracted to a woman in the hotel. She catches his ear (and eye, eventually) because, unlike everyone else (besides him) in his world, she doesn't look like Michael Ian Black and she doesn't talk like Tom Noonan: she's the voice of Jennifer Jason Leigh. A touching night of human (well, puppet) connection is followed by some explicit puppet sex, followed by a nightmare and then a nightmarish world. Like all of Kaufman's films (both as a director and a screenwriter) it's an uneasy mix of weird humor and sadness, and like all of them Kaufman refuses to give us the happy ending.

13 Hours (Michael Bay, 2016)
January 14, 2016 June 4, 2016 ~ Sean Gilman	~ 1 Comment
The prospect of a Michael Bay movie about Benghazi is contemporary American absurdity at its finest. The maker of hugely successful disasters, overblown, crude, racist, misogynistic, incomprehensible, telling the story of one of the most ridiculous issues of our time, a tragedy crudely trumped up into an inane scandal by the basest elements of our political culture. After the jingoistic marketing around Clint Eastwood's hit American Sniper a year ago (which I believe completely misrepresented that film), how could 13 Hours, in the hands of a far less sophisticated and nuanced filmmaker, hope to be anything but a wildly offensive distortion of history at best, and a piece of vile propaganda at worst? Well, I'm somewhat happy to say that 13 Hours is not nearly as racist as you'd expect it to be. It is crude, it is overblown, it does completely lack subtlety, but Bay, true to his only real belief as a filmmaker (that his movies should amass a fortune), has attempted to make a film that will appeal to all audiences, it sidesteps the kind of cartoonish racism one would expect in a war film set in North Africa and instead appeals to much deeper, much broader base instincts in the American audience: our love of firepower, our distrust of government, our isolationism.

Brits save almost £120bn in ISAs to help fund home purchases – three quarters of which are made by first-time buyers
Press Release | Scottish Friendly
– UK savers have used £119 billion of ISA savings over the past 21 years to help buy a home
– First-time buyers have benefited most from the tax-efficient savings vehicles, with nearly three quarters (73%) of these individuals saying the money was used to help buy their first home
– The average value of ISA savings channelled towards buying a house was £19,751
– Number of cash ISAs collapsing as stocks and shares ISAs gain
British savers have accrued a staggering £119 billion in ISAs in the past 21 years that has been directed towards buying a home, new research from Scottish Friendly reveals.
Since the tax-efficient savings vehicles were first launched in 1999, 4.4 million individuals have used savings held in ISAs to help purchase a property.
The average value of ISA savings channelled towards buying a house was £19,751 – adding up to more than £87 billion, the analysis conducted by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) on behalf of Scottish Friendly found.
However, the research also considers parents' ISA savings which have been used to help a child purchase a home, which means the total sum rises to nearly £120 billion.
This figure is more than the total value of Northern Ireland's entire housing stock, which is currently estimated to be worth £106 billion[1].
Nearly three quarters (73%) of these ISA savers indicated that the money was used to help buy their first home.
But the general popularity of ISAs remains in decline, despite the important role they have played in supporting homebuyers.
Overall the number of adults with either a cash or a stocks and shares ISA fell by nearly 1 million to 21.2 million between the 2015-16 financial year and 2016-17.
The number of individuals with a stocks and shares ISA increased by more than 770,000 to 3.3 million but there was a sharp decline in the number of individuals with cash ISAs.
The drop in the number of cash ISA holders could be indicative of the significant fall in the real returns from cash accounts during this period.
A survey of 4,000[2] people that was carried out on behalf of Scottish Friendly as part of the study found an equal proportion of savers (21%) are using a cash ISA or stocks ISA to help towards buying a house.
However, cash ISA savers could find it takes them significantly longer to reach their savings goal than individuals using a stocks and share ISA.
Analysis conducted by the Cebr reveals a cash ISA holder who had utilised their full ISA allowance each year from 1999 to present would have generated a total of £23,245 of tax-free interest.
In contrast, a saver who instead opted to invest their money in the FTSE All-Share Index through a stocks and shares ISA with average annual charges of 1.4% would have accrued a total of £98,934 – more than four times the amount of a cash ISA saver.
Kevin Brown, savings specialist at Scottish Friendly said: "ISAs have given millions of people, particularly first-time buyers, the opportunity to realise their dream of buying a home.
"During the past 21 years, savers have accrued billions of pounds in ISAs that have been used towards house purchases and many other goals, such as holidays, weddings, home improvements and early-retirement.
"That so many people use tax-efficient ISAs to build savings up towards the purchase of a property, and saving more generally, is testament to the ISA as a national savings institution that has truly come of age.
"But the latest figures show that the popularity of ISAs is dropping, which could be down to rates on many secure cash accounts continuing to slide. Demand for stocks and shares ISAs continues to rise, but on the whole fewer people are taking advantage of tax-efficient saving and investing.
"As the ISA now enters its 'adult years', our analysis also shows that over the past 21 years, stocks and shares ISAs have on average provided greater returns than secure cash ISAs.
"If you are saving for a long-term goal, such as a house deposit or retirement, then you may want to look beyond just cash accounts as stocks and shares could potentially help you to achieve your target sooner."
"Of course, history doesn't provide us with certainty to make future decisions and you must remember that the value of investments can go down as well as up and you could get back less than you paid in."

Lynn Church of God members remaining steadfast after the loss of youth minister's wife and unborn daughter in wreck
Wednesday, March 11, 2020 - 8:55:59 AM
Gathered at Lynn Church of God are church members Jerry Thorn, Pat Thorn, Candice Tittle and Jeff Stokes.
LYNN - The power of faith is being shown in the life of Jacob Eaton, the broken survivor of a head-on vehicle collision that claimed the life of both his wife and unborn child just a few weeks before the child's birth.
Eaton, however, is not alone, for he is being surrounded by his church family and friends at Lynn Church of God, where the Eatons worked in the youth ministry and praise team the past 1 1/2 years.
Eaton did not officially know that his wife Breanna Lashay, and unborn daughter had been killed until Monday morning, March 9, two days after the head-on collision Saturday, March 7, that occurred as the couple was driving towards their home in Carbon Hill from a women's spiritual conference in Cullman.
Jacob was driving their 2016 Kia Forte on Highway 69 around 10 p.m., when it was struck by a 2008 Ford Taurus driven by James Long of Columbia, Tennessee, according to troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
Bre, as church members call her, and her unborn daughter lost their lives at the scene, with Jacob transported from the scene to UAB Hospital, family and friends stated.
Chris Stokes, who with his wife, Alisha, are ministers at Lynn Church of God, had attended the conference with the Eatons and were the ones that came upon the accident on Highway 69 as they were traveling home.
"At the time, we didn't know what was going on," Chris recalled. "At that point, my wife tried to message Bre and I tried to call Jacob. We couldn't get them."
The Stokeses were held up in traffic about 70 to 100 yards away from the accident, when Alisha got out of their vehicle and ran to see if the Eatons had been involved in the accident.
At the time Chris and Alisha were on the scene, first responders were working to free Jacob from the car.
"We didn't know Bre's status at the time," Chris said. After learning that Jacob was responsive and in good spirits, the Stokeses headed toward Walker Baptist Medical Center in Jasper to be with Bre after hearing she might have been transported there.
"On our way to Jasper, we got the call that she had passed and the baby had passed," Chris said. "I was driving when I heard the news. I couldn't drive anymore. I just stopped my vehicle. We were just crying out, Why?!"
At this point, Chris and Alisha decided to go on to UAB to be with Jacob, where they would remain at vigil.
The first couple of days after the accident were critical for Jacob, who experienced surgeries for fractured bones. Therefore, Chris decided the time was not right to inform him that his wife and daughter had passed away.
However, on Monday, March 9, Chris broke the news to Jacob as he lay in his hospital bed, having undergone multiple surgeries, including one on his pelvis scheduled for later that day.
"He was awake. He wanted to know about his wife and little girl," Chris said.
"We had been praying for God to prepare his heart to receive this news he was about to receive," pointed out church member Candice Tittle.
"I grabbed him by the hand and I said, 'Jacob...you've been asking a lot of questions over the past couple of hours about Bre and the baby.'
"He grabbed my hand and said, '...I already know what happened...The Lord told me what happened.' He looked at me and said, 'Everything is going to be OK. I know where they are at.'
"His attitude has been one of great faith...It really speaks to his faith in God... It's been one of optimism. He is telling us everything is going to be fine, that we're all going to grow from this," Chris continued.
Jacob said it was God's will for he and his wife to get pregnant with their baby, but it wasn't God's will for him to see his baby, church members said.
Chris and Alisha had spent a lot of time with Jacob and Bre the weekend of the accident, laughing and enjoying good fellowship while eating out, as well as time spent at the women's conference.
In fact, some of the last moments they spent with the Eatons as a couple were at the conference, where Bre led the final song, "There Ain't No Grave to Hold My Body Down."
"Man, I tell you, when she sang that song, she sang with such power, I thought that roof was going to blow off that place," Chris recalled. "It just erupted."
"After church, we hugged and said our goodbyes and I love you's and all those things you do with people you love," said Chris.
As Jacob slowly recovers from his tragedy, he has his church family by his side helping him.
"Our focus now is healing for the church," Chris said. Plans are for a counselor to come into the congregation to help the church recover emotionally from this loss.
A church team will also be assigned to assist Jacob, caring for both the inside and outside of his home.
A GoFundMe page has been set up for Jacob, which can also be accessed at the Facebook page of Chris and Alisha Stokes, as well as the Lynn Church of God's Facebook page to help Jacob with medical bills, as well as everyday bills.
"There is already almost $8,000 in less than 24 hours that has been donated," Chris said, noting the donations are from not only the church but the Lynn community, which has also been drastically effected by the loss.
Church member Jeff Stokes, father of Chris, noted the Eatons loved working with the kids.
"They were four weeks away from being mom and dad," Jeff said. "Bre and the little girl are fine. Jacob is the one who has lots to deal with. He is the one who is going to need us.
"Last Sunday she sang a special song (with the praise team). She did a wonderful job," Jeff added.
"When I started to leave, I walked up and, just to tell you the different age, I said, 'Bre, you tore that up.' She said. 'What does that mean?' Jeff laughed.
Ironically, the Eatons had struggled to have a child. "This is a child our church prayed over," noted Tittle.
Tittle added that her son, who is 17 and a member of the youth group, had been shy around people until he met the Eatons.
"He had gotten to where he would open up to them to confide in them," Tittle said.
Concerning Bre, Tittle added, "Kids 5toward her. She contacted me recently about coming to watch my daughter play ball, just taking time out for her. Fixing to have a baby and caring about watching my kid play softball.
"The kids knew she loved them," Tittle continued. "She had a genuine concern and care. You have to be able to relate and be compassionate."
"He had a very good relationship, could communicate with the young people," church member Jerry Thorn added. "These two were extremely good about relating to the kids. If they needed to be firm, they were firm, but the kids knew they were loved by these two people."
The Eatons had been attending Lynn Church of God the past two years.
Chris remembers Jacob being in his youth group when he was youth minister in Nauvoo, Chris said.
"He grew up, got married and we got to meet his beautiful wife for the first time at a ball game. Then they showed up at church the following Sunday, and the rest is history," Chris said.
After the couple was at Lynn Church of God for a year, the Stokeses felt they had leadership potential, so the Eatons became youth ministers, with Bre becoming a member of the worship team, Chris added.
"They were people who had servant's hearts. It never was about them," he added. "It never was about them. It was always about everyone else and trying to better the Kingdom of God."
"You could just tell they had this love between them and the rest of us," church member Pat Thorn added. "It was already there when they came to our church."
Jacob, despite his extensive injuries, has been proud of how good people have been to him. One question he has asked was the condition of the people in the vehicle that struck them.
Long, the driver of the 2008 Ford Taurus, had been injured and transported for medical treatment, according to troopers.
"Jacob is teaching us how to really have faith in times of adversity," Chris said.
In fact, Jacob's attitude is comparable to the current marquee on the Lynn Church of God sign facing Highway 5.
The sign reads, "Stay positive even when it feels like your life is falling apart."

Kids' Books 2
by Hoda Kotb, Suzie Mason (Illustrator) Hoda Kotb
BN Exclusive-$18.99 Hardcover-$18.99 NOOK Book-$10.99 View All Available Formats & Editions
BN Exclusive
10.10(w) x 10.10(h) x 0.50(d)
Hoda Kotb is the Daytime Emmy Award, Edward R. Murrow Award, and duPont-Columbia Award-winning Today show co-anchor and Dateline NBC correspondent. Hoda is the author of two adult New York Times bestselling books, including Hoda: How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer, and Kathie Lee. Of all her accomplishments, her proudest moment is the adoption of a baby girl, Haley Joy, in February 2017. She lives in New York City with her boyfriend, Joel Schiffman.
Suzie Mason is a freelance illustrator who draws lovely things—from animals to fairies to multicolored pumpkins—and adores using bright colors to create happy artwork. She is the illustrator of Elephants, written by Rebecca Heller and published in the UK. Suzie works in her little house in beautiful Bournville, England, where she lives with her husband and ball-of-fuzz kitty.
Today show anchor Kotb and illustrator Mason follow up I've Loved You Since Forever with a second story about parental love and devotion. A bear cub and mother bear prepare to snuggle down for bed as the sun sets over the mountains, rendered in digital art. The bears reflect on "what made us happy all day through." Prose is written in simple, rhyming verse describing moments of quiet togetherness in the duo's lakeside meadowland. The bear cub is thankful "for growing tall, for lucky breaks, and even learning from mistakes"—the cub is pictured inching away from a fallen beehive. Other animals are introduced, including a raccoon kit, a rabbit parent and child, and a duck and ducklings, who interact with one another and the cub throughout the scenes. Kotb and Mason follow a familiar formula that seems more for adults than their offspring, but fans will embrace the sentiments. Ages 4–8. (Mar.)
As the day draws to a close, a parent bear recalls those events shared with their child that gratified them, from observing hatching nestlings to the stars that come out at bedtime.
The scansion works and the emotions expressed are sweet, but that's the limit of this book's achievement. Mason is unable to create a coherent visual narrative that explicates and expands on the nonsensical text, which opens and closes with a parental address to "my fuzzy one" but in between is unclear as to who is expressing the syrupy sentiments. The sequence of sentence fragments "For special friends who made me giggle / and silly songs that made me wiggle. // For space to play, for shade to rest, / for secret spots we love the best" is illustrated in two double-page spreads with images of the young bear first playing with a young raccoon and second intently observing a caterpillar. Although that implies the young bear is speaking, the iteration of the refrain that ungrammatically brings the sequence to a close—"That's what made me happy"—seems to bring the narration back to the parent bear. But really, giving up on sense seems to be the best one can expect from a book with a title that inartfully co-opts an adjective as a noun.
Yet another celebrity picture book that will steal sales from far, far better ones. (Picture book. 3-5)


The installation of winter excellent skiing conditions tires is among the most first in anyone's auto winterization listing. However, the majority of us are unaware of how to find the perfect excellent skiing conditions tires for the cars. Naturally, getting excellent skiing conditions tires for ones vehicle is just not as straightforward as gonna the wheel shop along with picking the 1st four tires that you just see. Alternatively, there are generally several factors that needs to be considered to make certain snow tires you can buy are people who you really need.
How must i know whether it is a excellent skiing conditions tire at any rate?
In Nova scotia, you could know no matter whether a tire was made for arctic roads if your tires' facet walls are generally printed which has a logo that will shows a new snow flake that may be surrounded with the outline of an mountain using three highs, with midst peak being the very best. Upon discovering this token, you can be sure that certain tire is often a snow wheel. After this specific, the up coming criterion have to be considered.
Fine, so these are snow four tires, now how to choose most notable?
Try for you to recall the level of winters that your particular area suffers from. Check should your winters are generally unusually soaked or if there are many periods wherever snowfall can be rare. This gives you a greater idea what is the best tires are perfect for your automobile. Each form of tire company or design incorporates its individual strengths along with weakness, in fact it is up to you personally to decide one which best fits the needs you have – by simply balancing functionality and charge.
For case in point, the Michelin X-ice Xi2 supplies excellent extender on its polar environment and snow and possesses low coming resistance. On the other hand, it standing poorly in wet materials in many of the tests which are made into it. This signifies that this certain brand may offer good grip for most circumstances and not on a number of. In fact, Michelin X-ice Xi2 might be classified as being a decent-but-far-from-perfect excellent skiing conditions tire. Then again, the best point on this brand can be its price tag – at below $120 a chunk.
On the opposite hand, a Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60 offers ideal traction along with durability, as shown to all the tests which are done for it. Actually, these qualities choose this brand is incredibly good choice for Canadian winters. On the other hand, the price of such tires is often rather prohibitive, as a number of tire dealers replenish to $180 a new pop.
Putting cost into mind does not really mean you are neglecting your safety involving driving your car. Should you not drive a good deal, like in case you drive pertaining to only 10 units to along with from operate and nothing at all else, then receiving the best (thereby, most high-priced) tires will not be the ideal idea. In fact, you never hit a new fly which has a cannon soccer ball.
Okay, I managed to get the four tires. What must i do up coming?
It can be recommended that you've them installed by the professional repair shop. This makes it possible for your tires to get inflated along with balanced effectively. Having a new tires by professionals installed won't only keep your car are going to be as safe drive an automobile as probable, but in addition allows your current tire's treads to break more uniformly, thus extending a tire's life.
Under-inflated autos can drive the wheel to deflect inward when influenced in larger speeds, thus minimizing traction while less in the tire's surface is certain to get into hitting the ground with the highway. Over-inflation, conversely, causes four tires to fat and creates the tire's centre treads break faster as opposed to edges. A similar things comes about to improperly balanced four tires. A good list of winter tires are able to survive a number of winters, in addition to one.

Q: Are there other books about the history of Middle-Earth? I've read these books about the history of Middle-Earth.

*

*The Shaping of Middle-earth

*The Return of the Shadow

*The Treason of Isengard

*The War of the Ring

*Sauron Defeated

and really liked them.
What other books by Tolkien (father or son) detail the history of Middle-Earth?

A: I have learnt a lot from The Letters of J.R.R. Tokien. You have to do some fishing around, but there are gems hidden in it.
As a Tengwar exercise, The Road Goes Ever On (a song book with Donald Swan) can be fun, also these are "canonical", "Tolkien-approved" songs. He even made the melody of Ai! Laurie Lantar Lasse Surinen! himself, as a sort of Gregorian tune.
Of course, the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales are both important works, both containing stories from the First to the Third Age.
If you want all the tragedy of Turin's story, read The Children of Hurin for all the wonderful details.
If, like me, you like Pauline Baynes' illustrations (which are also "Tolkien-approved"), I urge you to have a look at Bilbo's Last Song and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (The latter also contains more written information).
I think that's mostly it.

A Brief History Of The World's Most Famous Libraries
Libraries have been an integral part of the community for centuries. This insightful infographic showcases some of the world's most famous libraries.
The Library of Congress in Washington is one of the oldest in the US and also the largest library in the world. Built in 1800, the library is now used as the research arm of Congress and it also houses the US Copyright Office. Philadelphia is home to one of the longest-running libraries in America. Established in 1731 by Benjamin Franklin, The Library Company of Philadelphia boasts a collection of 2,100 items that belonged to Franklin himself.
The British Library is not the oldest in this infographic, but it is incredibly impressive, due to the diversity of artifacts it houses. The library is said to contain the equivalent of 389 miles of shelves.
Perhaps the most iconic library in terms of its history is the Royal Library of King Ashurbanipal, which was founded in the 7th Century BC in Nineveh. It is believed that the library contained around 30,000 artifacts. When Nineveh was destroyed, the library lay buried for over 2,000 years.
The world's second-largest monastery library is also one of the most aesthetically pleasing. The Admont Library in Austria is renowned for its spectacular 230-foot baroque hall. Established in 1776, the library underwent renovation work between 2004 and 2008. Visitors are welcome, and today, the library also acts as a museum and a learning resource for students.
