Bayless wants bond issue for expansion of a junior-high cafeteria, library, classes

Bayless Schools is proposing a $7.3 million no-tax increase bond issue to voters on the April 2 ballot to address overcrowding at Bayless Junior High School.
Proposition 1, if voters approve it, would be used to expand the middle school to help alleviate overcrowding in both the middle and high schools. Currently, junior-high students have to walk to Bayless High School in rain, snow or sun to use the cafeteria, library and some classrooms.
This is not the first time that Bayless has attempted to address the issue of overcrowding at the middle school. In April 2018, voters approved an operational tax increase, which only has to get 50 percent of the vote. But Proposition A, a 34-cent tax-rate increase to bring in $10 million and do what Prop 1 will do and more, failed after it did not receive the 57.14 percent of yes votes necessary to pass a bond issue. It received 54 percent of the votes — more than the operational tax hike, but not enough to pass.
This time, the district took out a $3.5 million multi-use building proposed at Bayless High School that was included in last year's failed ballot measure. That allows the district to offer Prop 1 to voters as a no-tax-rate-increase bond issue.
The middle school, originally built in 1934 as the district's first high school, was constructed to accommodate 230 to 250 students. Enrollment now is 410.
"At any given time, half the students are being served in the high school," said Assistant Superintendent and Chief Operating Officer Michael Hawkins. "It's creating pressure on the high school as well, so they're starting to feel the burden of overcrowding because their enrollment has increased to 525. And the largest class isn't even here yet — it's coming through the elementary."
Prop 1 would fund 18 new educational spaces and classrooms in the middle school, as well as a new cafeteria and library, in addition to other scheduled maintenance and renovation work throughout the district.
By adding the additional classroom spaces, cafeteria and library, junior-high students would no longer have to travel to the high school, alleviating security and safety issues as well as making things more convenient for students. Since the high school's cafeteria is not large enough to accommodate both the high-school students and junior-high students at once, some middle-school students eat lunch as early at 10 a.m.
"If we could build onto our junior high, we can free up space at the high school. There's a lot of people moving into Bayless," said Superintendent Ronald Tucker, who was principal at the junior high for six years. "Enrollment is increasing, and it will be a domino effect on our high school."
A self-contained middle school where students would no longer have to travel back and forth between the high school would address significant supervision and safety issues, he said.
The district's 53-cent debt-service tax rate would remain unchanged if Prop 1 passes. It would bring in $7.3 million over the course of 20 years. Construction would begin immediately on the junior-high expansion.
In addition to that expansion, Prop 1 would also fund renovations for the men's and women's locker rooms at the high school, allow for Bayless to place a gravity flow sewage line and connect it to the MSD system south of Bayless High School, renovate the elementary school's restrooms and replace the elementary school's water fountains, among other needed fixes around the district. These needs would be addressed over the course of three to five years.
The district does plan to reintroduce the multi-use building again sometime in the future, as well as addressing the weight room at the high school since it is not ADA compliant, but those are issues that would be looked at six to seven years from now.

"Amazing stay"
By Marius, South Africa
"We had a wonderful stay at Bosch Luys Kloof Private Nature Reserve. The views were spectacular, it looks beautiful on the photos but to really appreciate the beauty, you have to be there and see it for yourself. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home.We went out on a game drive in the morning and it was awesome! Bruce is extremely knowledgeable, we learned a lot about some of the animals, their behavior and even about the different plant species in that area. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do another one in the afternoon again, and that didnt disappoint.There were so much to do and we didnt get around doing everything that we wanted to, so we would like to go back there and stay a bit longer.I do not feel that any words can describe the food. Ive never enjoyed any food as much as we did during our stay there. We could see that Derick didnt just prepare the food because it was his job but because he has a passion for doing it. We were asked after every meal if we wanted some more food, so we had more than enough to eat at every meal.It would seem that they have a great team of people at Bosch Luys Kloof Private Nature Reserve. We had a great time there and would recommend it to anyone!"

It's a strange notion, but some experts fear the world, at its current pace of consumption, is running out of useable topsoil. The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with TIME, talked to University of Sydney professor John Crawford on the seismic implications soil erosion and degradation may have in the decades to come.
There aretwo key issues. One is the loss of soil productivity. Under a business as usual scenario, degraded soil will mean that we will produce 30% less food over the next 20-50 years. This is against a background of projected demand requiring us to grow 50% more food, as the population grows and wealthier people in countries like China and India eat more meat, which takes more land to produce weight-for-weight than, say, rice.
Soil erosion is most serious in China, Africa, India and parts of South America. If the food supply goes down, then obviously, the price goes up. The crisis points will hit the poorest countries hardest, in particular those which rely on imports: Egypt, for example, is almost entirely dependent on imports of wheat. The capacity of the planet to produce food is already causing conflict. A lot of people argue that food price hikes caused the Arab spring, and may even have contributed to the recent violence following the release of an anti-Islam film.
They will have to deal with more refugees fleeing from truly desperate situations. Then there's the fact that this is happening at a time of economic difficulty in the West, with growing disparities across society and some people already having to resort to charity to feed themselves. The connection here with health is significant. Cheap food tends to be low in protein and high in carbohydrate, which is exactly the wrong balance for a healthy society. By reducing food to a mere commodity, we have created a system that is degrading the global capacity to continue to produce food, and is fuelling a global epidemic of diabetes and related chronic disease. Obesity in the US cost 150 billion dollars – 20% of the health budget – in 2008, the latest figures available, and this huge cost will rise as the broken food system takes its toll.
Why is the food system broken?
The big picture is that the amount of land per person has been shrinking over the last 100 years: we now have about a quarter of a hectare per person on the planet and we're using half of the total land area on the globe for agriculture. If you think of that little quarter hectare, we're asking more of it than ever before, largely because of population and the modern diet, which is totally inappropriate. Governments have not got this right. We're subsidising unsustainable food production systems at the cost of our health and our environment. Soil is not costed into food, which means that farmers don't have the financial capacity to invest in their soil to turn the situation around. Crop breeding is exacerbating this situation. Modern wheat varieties, for example, have half the micronutrients of older strains, and it's pretty much the same for fruit and vegetables. The focus has been on breeding high-yield crops which can survive on degraded soil, so it's hardly surprising that 60% of the world's population is deficient in nutrients like iron. If it's not in the soil, it's not in our food.
Significant progress is technically quite straightforward. There's a lot we can do, we just have to choose to do it and provide the right support where it is needed. First-off I'd focus on getting carbon back into the soil, by reversing bad farming practices like tillage, nutrient mismanagement, removing stubble and over-grazing. We can add manure and consider using human waste from cities as fertiliser, instead of just flushing it all out to sea.
In the longer term, breeding targets need to focus more on human nutrition as well as productivity, and on traits that improve the soil. We need to find new ways of bringing together scientists and farmers to harness the expertise of both. From a policy standpoint, probably the most important thing is to find pricing mechanisms that take into account the environmental, health and other costs of a broken system. Farmers need to be appropriately rewarded for regenerating the environment and producing food that supports a healthier society.
Finally we need to recognise that this is a global problem that would benefit from a global approach. We don't need to reinvent the wheel in each country, and we don't have time to do so. It takes decades to regenerate soil. I find it quite ironic that while the Mars Curiosity Rover is poking around looking for life in Martian soil, we're in the process of extinguishing life in our own.

Q: How to run feature files in Safari using WebDriverIO? I'm using WebDriverIO to automate a web page, I'm able to run my feature files in Chrome but I need them to run in Safari. I'm using a Mojave 10.14.6 device. I've allowed remote automation on safari, and enabled safaridriver from terminal.
My wdio.conf.js capabilities are look like this:
capabilities: [{
    maxInstances: 5,
    browserName: 'safari'
}]

When I run using chrome it works as spected but in the case of safari I get the following message:
ERROR webdriver: RequestError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4444
My package.json looks like this:
"dependencies": {
    "@wdio/cli": "^7.5.7"
},
"devDependencies": {
    "@wdio/cucumber-framework": "^7.5.3",
    "@wdio/local-runner": "^7.5.7",
    "@wdio/spec-reporter": "^7.5.7",
    "chromedriver": "^90.0.0",
    "wdio-chromedriver-service": "^7.0.0"
}

Is there any other configuration I need to add in wdio.conf.js file?
Thanks in advance.

A: It turns out to be a problem with the port that was being used. After the port was changed from 4444 to the correct value, the issue was solved.

We love family weddings! Of course, all weddings involve families, but when Mom, Dad and children combine to create a ready-made family there's an excitement and joy of new beginnings and what's to come. Jon, Jen & Co. perfectly embodied this excitement and joy and we had such a lovely time documenting their Mount Washington Hotel winter wedding a couple months back. We've photographed quite a few weddings at the Mt Washington Hotel, but we don't get to do as many winter weddings there. Jen & Jon couldn't have picked a better winter day/evening to tie the knot up in the resplendent White Mountains; the alpenglow on Mt Washington and the Presidential Range was magnificent, the best we've seen! Guys, thanks so much for having us and we look forward to working with you again real soon!

INTO THE GRAY ZONE: The Private Sector and Active Defense Against Cyber Threats
Submitted by cmasingo on Fri, 12/22/2017 - 12:05
John Lainhart
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the current legal, policy and technological contexts that surround private sector cybersecurity and active defense measures to improve U.S. responses to evolving threats.
Co-Author: Christopher Ballister, Security & Privacy, IBM
It provides a practical framework to develop active defense strategies and offers a set of 15 policy recommendations to the public and private sectors to support implementation of more effective cybersecurity defenses that will enhance the private sector's ability to defend its most valuable data and assets in the context of modern cybersecurity imperatives. Too often, policy is being made in reaction to an incident, that's why this report is so important – it provides the context for developing policy, based on the risks and benefits of taking measured actions, at the appropriate time.
To produce this report, the Center brought together a diverse group of expert stakeholders, convening a Task Force whose members have backgrounds in the private and public sectors, and are thought leaders in the areas of technology, security, privacy, law, and business. The report was developed and written by the Center's Active Defense Task Force led by the four Task Force co-chairs: Adm. Dennis C. Blair, former Director of National Intelligence & Chairman and CEO Sasakawa Peace Foundation; The Honorable Michael Chertoff, former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security & Co-Founder and Executive Director, the Chertoff Group; Nuala O'Connor, President and CEO Center for Democracy and Technology; and Frank Cilluffo, GWU Associate Vice President & Director, Center for Cyber and Homeland Security (CCHS). The project is supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Smith Richardson Foundation. Chris Ballister is a Member of the Active Defense Task Force & a Senior Fellow of the CCHS and John Lainhart and Daniel Chenok serve on the Board of Directors of the CCHS.
The report defines Active Defense as follows:
"Active defense is a term that captures a spectrum of proactive cybersecurity measures that fall between traditional passive defense and offense. These activities fall into two general categories, the first covering technical interactions between a defender and an attacker. The second category of active defense includes those operations that enable defenders to collect intelligence on threat actors and indicators on the Internet, as well as other policy tools (e.g. sanctions, indictments, trade remedies) that can modify the behavior of malicious actors. The term active defense is not synonymous with "hacking back" and the two should not be used interchangeably."
Today's cyber threat protection efforts includes the expanded use of capabilities such as security intelligence, which provide organizations with both the information and means to protect themselves well beyond their own enterprise environment to include intrusive actions into an aggressors network environment. By clarifying the gray area between defensive and offensive cybersecurity activity, the report emphasizes the need to carefully navigate the gray zone in a manner that keeps organizations and individuals from violating statutory law or violating foreign government rules for privacy or computer crimes. The report further prompts the need for development of policies and guidance to assist organizations with successful navigation of the gray zone.
The initial section of the report provides background and context to this discussion. The next section provides a historical perspective on the evolution of the term "active defense." This section also discusses the upper and lower boundaries of active defense and examines the spectrum of activities that fall within it, including honeypots, beacons, and sinkholing malicious traffic. It makes clear that certain types of high-risk activities by the private sector should be not be performed due to risks of collateral damage and privacy-related concerns, but pushes for greater clarity on whether and how the private sector can utilize lower-risk active defense measures. Next, the report provides additional policy context to the issue of active defense, examining the impact of current U.S. laws (e.g., the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act), assessing the impact of emerging technologies such as cloud computing and the Internet of Things, and outlining the evolving international framework for active defense.
The final sections of the report provide the proposed framework for the private sector to use in addressing cyber threats. "The core of this framework is the spectrum of active defense measures defined earlier in the report, embedded within a broader set of policy, legal, technical, and governance-related considerations, which provide the basis for risk-driven deliberation and decision-making both within companies and between the government and the private sector on active defense." It also attempts to balance the need to enable private sector active defense measures with other important considerations such as the protection of individual civil liberties, privacy, and the risks of collateral damage. A key aspect of this framework is a risk-driven methodology that can be used to weigh the risks and benefits of action vs. inaction, and help organizations choose appropriate tools when deemed appropriate.
This overview of the framework is followed by a detailed discussion of what is needed to operationalize it. After this section, the report puts forward a set of near-term policy recommendations for the U.S. executive branch, Congress, and the private sector that are intended to facilitate the implementation and adoption of this framework. These policy recommendations are included in their entirety below.
Actions for the Executive Branch
The Department of Justice (DOJ) should issue public guidance to the private sector with respect to active defense measures that it interprets to be allowable under current law, indicating that DOJ would not pursue criminal or civil action for such measures assuming that they are related to the security of a company's own information and systems. This guidance should be updated on a regular basis consistent with ongoing technology developments.
DOJ and the Federal Trade Commission should update their "Antitrust Policy Statement on Cybersecurity Information Sharing" (2014) to state clearly that antitrust laws should not pose a barrier to intra-industry coordination on active defense against cyber threats.
The Department of Homeland Security should coordinate the development of operational procedures for public-private sector coordination on active defense measures, utilizing existing mechanisms for cooperation such as the industry-led Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) and Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs), and the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) at DHS.
The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) should develop guidelines, best practices, and core capabilities for private sector activity with respect to assessing the risk of and carrying out active defense measures, with 3-5 different levels of technical maturity linked to certification to carry out certain types of measures, or in the case of third-party vendors, to protect other companies. Such guidelines may be distinct for different industry sectors, and this effort at NIST shall be consistent with the work done in 2013-2014 to develop the Cybersecurity Framework.
Federal agencies that fund cybersecurity-related research and development, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, the Intelligence Community, and the National Science Foundation, should prioritize R&D on the development of new active defense measures (including capabilities that may improve attribution) and assess efficacy of current active defense measures.
The Department of State should engage with foreign partners in developing common standards and procedures for active defense measures. This is particularly relevant given the fact that many of the large companies who are affected by cyber threats operate globally, and thus need to protect information on systems in dozens of countries.
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) should carry out a review of current and proposed federal government activities related to active defense activities by the private sector, and release a public report on the results of this review.
The White House should develop a policy that provides guidance to federal agencies on when and how they should provide support to the private sector with respect to active defense activities, addressing such factors such as the maturity of private sector entities, the nature of the threat actors (if known), and the economic and security- related importance of the infrastructure or information targeted. This latter factor could perhaps be linked to the list of "critical infrastructure at greatest risk" as identified by DHS pursuant to Section 9 of Executive Order 13636.128 Types of support that are envisioned include information sharing, coordinated planning, intelligence support, and training.
The President should issue a directive that codifies the requirements in items 1-6 above and sets clear deadlines for the adoption of them.
Actions for the U.S. Congress
Congress should pass legislation to oversee the implementation of the activities in action items 1-7 above, and reinforce the deadlines in statute. Congress should also mandate that the Government Accountability Office review the implementation of this legislation.
Congress should reassess language in the CFAA and the Cybersecurity Act of 2015 that constrains private sector activity on active defense, to ensure that low and medium-risk active defense measures are not directly prohibited in statute.
Congress should examine whether and how other tools established in law (e.g. indictments, sanctions, trade remedies) can be utilized in support of protecting the private sector against malicious cyber actors. Executive Order 13694 ("Sanctions Related to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities") from 2015 is a good example of this principle in practice, but there are other tools that can be utilized in support of cyber deterrence and active defense.
Actions for the Private Sector
Private sector companies should work together and take the lead in developing industry standards and best practices with respect to active defense measures within their sectors and industries. Such efforts should be undertaken on an international basis, involving a broad set of major companies from all regions of the world.
Companies should develop policies at the C-Suite level for whether they want to engage in certain types of active defense measures in response to hypothetical future attacks, instead of simply reacting after they have suffered a data breach or other form of cyber attack. Companies should develop an operational template, based upon a thorough risk assessment and analysis of industry standards and best practices, that can be integrated into a broader cyber strategy and incident response protocols. These policies must be incorporated within the companies' broader commitment to and investment in their own traditional cyber defense programs.
Industry groups should examine best practices for coordination between Internet service providers, web hosting services, and cloud service providers and their clients on active defense, leveraging the fact that these service providers often have contractual, pre-authorized access to their clients' networks for routine business purposes. Such service providers may be well positioned to carry out active defense measures against cyber threats to their clients.
The report concludes with a call to action - a brief examination of future trends that may impact the evolution and development of active defense policy and procedures.
In addition, there are several appendices that support the report's core analysis, including additional views of Nuala O'Connor, a Legal Analysis courtesy of Covington & Burling, LLP, a global perspective on active defense (in the United Kingdom, France, Estonia and Israel), and a glossary of terms.
At the report's briefing conference, Frank Cilluffo emphasized that "Businesses cannot simply firewall their way out of this problem and must instead have greater leeway to more proactively respond to cyber threats. Active defense – done right – offers a viable path forward." Christian Beckner, CCHS Deputy Director, concluded that "The framework that we provide in this report offers a sustainable path forward for responsible private sector active defense. An informed and equipped private sector, supported by this framework, is necessary to improving America's cybersecurity posture moving forward."

Bennett, Kyle
Kyle Bennett is a British journalist and the author of Polar Wandering and the Cycle of Ages, which reviews the Earth Crustal Displacement (ECD) theory of Charles Hapgood. Prior to the book, he had written a number of articles about the history of ECD theory before Hapgood. One concerned Frederik Klee(a) and another was about Sir John Evans(b) the British archaeologist. He also reviews the history of ECD on Graham Hancock's website(d). His maintains his own supporting website(e).
In case readers may feel that the subject of ECD is unrelated to Atlantis, they should keep in mind that the theory of Atlantis in the Antarctica(c), promoted by Rand Flem-Ath, is totally dependent on ECD and its occurrence within the memory of man.

Boucheporn, Baron René de (L)
Baron René de Boucheporn (1811-1857) suggested in 1844 that the axis of the earth had been altered by an encounter with a comet. A few years later Frédérik Klee discussed this pole shift theory at length[794] but for his own part he favoured an internal force as the cause of any axial change.

Klee, Frederik
Frederik Klee (1808-1864) was a Danish scholar and was a parliamentarian from 1858 until his death. He published his Le Déluge in Copenhagen in 1842 and in Paris[794] in 1847, a work which included many original ideas. He was one of the first to suggest the possibility of an earth axial shift, although in the French edition of his book he discusses the 1844 theory of Baron René de Boucheporn, who also supported the idea of a pole shift. But, Boucheporn followed Carli, attributing it to an encounter with a comet in contrast to Klee's contention that the cause was internal.
Allan & Delair[014.14] quote Klee as contending "that certain ancient hieroglyphics refer to a displacement of the heavens at the time of the Deluge."
Some of Klee's ideas were ahead of his time and were forgotten until the following century when they were echoed in the work of Wegener and Hapgood.
Full English language biographies of Klee plus excerpts from his book are now available(a)(b).

Wegener, Alfred
Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) was a German professor of meteorology who in 1912 advanced the theory of Continental Drift, which proposed that the continents were in motion, however slowly. In this context he contended that Atlantis was a distant memory of the time when America, Europe and Africa were joined. However, the rate of 'drift' is so slow that such a conjunction of the continents would have broken up long before the emergence of modern man. Unfortunately, Wegener died while exploring the Greenland ice cap.
As early as 1842 Frederik Klee had suggested that originally there had existed one large megacontinent which later broke up(a), an idea later echoed by Wegener.
Wegener's theory was slowly accepted and eventually morphed into the theory of 'plate tectonics' in the 1960's. But, even today, the latest tectonic concepts appear to have been brought into question by a study of the lava fields of Saudi Arabia. The theory is also under attack by supporters of the Expanded Earth hypothesis(b). On the other hand, an Islamic website has identified a reference in the Qur'an to the concept of an expanding Earth(c).

[Orion's Daily Ramblings] Jo Jung-suk and Yoon Si-yoon Offered Period Drama "The Nokdu Flower"
By Vasia Orion on 2018/11/22 at 16:55 PST

I was just talking about how few turn of the century dramas we get in my "Hymn of Death" piece a few days ago, and now the Dramagods deliver, as actors Jo Jung-suk and Yoon Si-yoon are being courted for period drama "The Nokdu Flower".
Set in 1894, when the Donghak Peasant Movement fought against the Joseon and Japanese army forces in the titular location, The Nokdu Flower, the drama tells the story of two half-brothers who had to fight against each other as a peasant, and as a member of the suppressing allied forces. Prepare the hankies, because I smell a death in the family. Or several, for that matter.
First things first, both actors have denied confirmation, with this being only one work under Jo Jung-suk's consideration, while Yoon Si-yoon is 'positively considering' the offer. If the potential cast sounds fun, buckle up for the creators. Writer Jeong Hyeon-min of "President" and "Assembly" is joined by PD Sin Kyeong-soo of "Doubtful Victory", "Six Flying Dragons" and "Three Days". Now that sounds like a promising combo.
According to the early report, Jo Jung-suk is up for Baek Yi-kang, the elder, illegitimate son of Baek Ga, an infamous and rich government official, and the slave of Baek Ga's legal wife. Yi-kang has a piercing gaze, a wry and cold smile, and a sharp tongue. He gives off the feeling of a venomous snake.
Yoon Si-yoon has been offered Baek Yi-hyeon, the younger, legitimate son of Baek Ga. He is an elite who is preparing for an exam so that he can study in Japan. He is a handsome, eloquent young man with an elegant demeanor and personality. Aside from belonging to the middle class, he lacks nothing.
I wonder if this terrible father will be based on the actual person whose terrible mistreatment of the peasants originally sparked the revolution. This is a part of history I haven't heard about before, so it's a very exciting, new premise for me. "The Nokdu Flower" is set to premiere on SBS in the first half of 2019, so let's hope we get more news soon.

'Downton Abbey' Starts to Unravel, 'We Built This Schmidty,' and the Return of 'Justified' in the Week's 10 Best TV Episodes
By Dustin Rowles | TV | January 23, 2012 |
10. Downton Abbey — Last week, after barreling through the first season, I didn't think it would be possible to say anything negative about this show. But then everyone started airing their grievances with season two, the Brits started dissing America's love for it, and all of a sudden, I began to see cracks in the facade. And this week's episode was not that great. In fact, "Up All Night" should probably be in this spot.
9. Shameless — The second season is still spinning its wheels a bit, and should put more focus on Lip, but I really do like it when they allow Frank a shred of humanity, as they did this week after he literally f*cked a woman to death.
8. New Girl — They brought back the douchebag jar! Plus, Lizzy Caplan. And "We Built This Schmidt-y." The show is right to highlight Schmidt as often as possible, but it still hasn't found anything good to do with Winston yet. But really, it's an easy show to like, even if it's mostly frivolous.
7. Parks and Recreation — Great episode, even if I didn't love what they're doing with Paul Rudd's character. That's a perfectly good waste of Rudd, especially when there could be so much potential for a smart Rudd character and Ann.
6. Parenthood — Peter Krause is killing it this season. His inability to tell his daughter no to Cornell may have long-lasting repercussions, but it was totally worth it just for that look on his face when he broke. Also, she'll do something to screw up and end up at Berkeley, anyway. Oh, and Amber saying no to dinner with her boss was the smartest thing that character has ever done. Good for you, Amber. As for Jasmine? Turnabout is fair play.
5. 30 Rock — A bounce-back episode from a subpar season opener with James Marsden and Idiot protesters. Literally.
4. Archer — "Archer" erased all memory of that mediocre three-episode arc last fall with three words: Burt F*cking Reynolds. Also, do not watch "Unsupervised." It's horrible.
3. Happy Endings — One of my favorite episodes in a while, as it hit on all three subplots: Old Brad vs. Old Jane, the V-Neck intervention, and Penny's unsuccessful successful attempt to change Ryan Hanson.
2. Southland — The best two shows of the week were on at the same damn time on different channels. I hope you DVR'd "Southland." It's a fantastic slice of police life that blends a naturalism with amazing character development. I think this week's episode featured Ben McKenzie smiling for the first time all series.
1. Justified — It's back, and if there was any doubt this is the best drama on television right now, the third season premiere should dispel it. Here's JoRo's review.

Calvin Edwards travels the world reporting on ministries, but sometimes the vision is so big, even Calvin has to stop and reconsider his perspective. A small ministry with big dreams can make an impact as big as a country.
While we were meeting, David Hawk excused himself. He had to meet with an official from the Ministry of Education who had just arrived from Tegucigalpa. Three from his team remained to discuss with me the high school and elementary school known as El Sembrador (The Sower) near Catacamas, Honduras.
I was leading an impact evaluation, an attempt to quantify the obvious, that the school was making a difference. Though the good they are doing is obvious, gathering data lends credibility, enables thorough reporting to donors, and points to actionable improvements.
These schools, and their various incarnations over their 64-year history, provide a high-quality education to young people in eastern Honduras. It's a beautiful agricultural region, with lush fields and rough mountains poking out of wide valleys at the distant edges. And though it's a visibly rural area, there are mid-sized towns tacked into the landscape every few miles at the foot of the mountains.
Catacamas is one of them. And El Sembrador is a 2,000-acre mission property of World Gospel Mission just a few miles out of town. All those acres? Alongside the mission schools is a dairy and cattle farm business, the profits of which help to operate the school. This dairy is the fifth largest milk producer in Honduras. Plus, kids learn valuable skills and lessons caring for animals, growing crops, and maintaining the property.
When we landed, the prior day, on the well-maintained grass airstrip in this semi-remote region, the water buffalo on the other side of the fence looked on, intrigued by the angular, noisy bird that unapologetically invaded their space. On the other side of the airstrip was a dense crop of corn getting ready to be harvested. All this is a part of El Sembrador, along with its national reputation.
Relentlessly Christian, it has been singled out by the Honduran president and the Ministry of Education as a model for other schools. Hence the high-level official visitor.
Earlier, when the Honduran president needed help assembling a silage-making machine on his nearby farm, he called the lead farm worker at El Sembrador for some tips on how to assemble his fancy new equipment. Ever serving the community, the farm manager made a visit to the president's farm to help, an act of generosity that was soon reciprocated.
The president loved what he saw and wanted more of it for Honduras. All of a sudden, El Sembrador had an advocate at the top. That can be helpful as long as you don't align with his political party, since violent political changes are often the norm in Central America. So, "proceed with caution" was the mantra.
Today, the schools move towards self-sufficiency with the support of the farm. They're not there yet, but they are on a good track, and the strategy is being managed carefully.
While I was on site, two regional Christian business men were contributing their knowledge – free of charge – to refine farm operations and then expand them, so the school could stand alone, expand elementary grades, and add more and more students. Maybe one day, a college.
El Sembrador has attracted that kind of support, input, and advice. Donors and supporters feel a sense of ownership and want it to succeed. Not just as it is, but in new and bigger ways.
El Sembrador has attracted support, input, and advice. Donors and supporters feel a sense of ownership and want it to succeed.
David and I discussed the huge needs in Honduras. While it is a beautiful country – much of it a quilt of green in shades of pineapple, corn, coffee, and okra – and while it produces families that would make extraordinarily good neighbors, the nation suffers from the corruption that has plagued so many developing countries since the end of colonial rule, and has the dubious distinction of being home to the former "murder capital" of the world.
He challenged my near-sighted vision, explaining that a school like that has access to the community and the students' families. Today, you might be teaching ninth-grade algebra, but tomorrow you are a voice in the community because of who you are and where you work.
Then he said, "Most importantly, we want to train leaders. To train kids do be the leaders in Honduras, in business, politics, the church, military, whatever." The key to this, he explained, is to inculcate – "train" is too shallow a word for what happens here – a Christian worldview that thoroughly dispels a secular perspective on life. That notion, spread widely, changes the nation. But, it takes time, a generation or two.
"Really?" I thought. "I'm at an isolated mission school in rural Honduras with upwards of 200 students, graduating a small fraction of those each year with a high school diploma, and this is the engine for change in Honduras?" It's a nice thought. A good wish. An admirable vision. But God is going to have to work overtime to make that happen, it seemed to me.
Then he explained that already they had leaders in business. That politicians had trained at El Sembrador. That air force pilots started their path to success in the halls of this mission school.
The focus of Christian leaders in Honduras, people like Osman Echeverria who overcame crippling poverty to earn a college degree and then run a vocational school to serve his people, and folk like Patty Rodriguez with the room-brightening smile who selflessly teaches every day to improve the health and prospects of poor families and children in Apacilagua, and Enoch Ulloa, who directs the operations of El Sembrador with passion and charisma – this kind of focus and dedication might bring about the change David longs for.
I'd worked with this national staff over the past few days. I'd admired their sacrifice for their people, knowing they are called to "love their neighbor" in the most practical of ways. I'd experienced their profound commitment to Christian truth and values. Because they know that the true hope for their country lies not in the next military coup, but in the unlikely revolution that is led by the Prince of Peace.
They know that the true hope for their country lies not in the next military coup, but in the unlikely revolution that is led by the Prince of Peace.
The next day I left El Sembrador. As the Cessna hurled us down the airstrip, the water buffalo challenged us to a race. They charged, head down, alongside the accelerating plane until they lost the battle and turned away.
As we took off, I thought about all the potential at El Sembrador in its race to change a nation. And that the official from the Ministry of Education who David was meeting with had been his student at El Sembrador 12 years before.

The New Agenda for International Relations. From Polarization to Globalization in World Politics?
There have been significant political eras which have shaped not only the structure of world politics but the way in which it has been studied. The geopolitical and ideological contours of the Cold War period, for example, had an impact on almost every aspect of world politics and the study of international relations for around 45 years.
This book argues that, just as the collapse of the Soviet Union in the period following the fall of the Berlin Wall signalled the end of strategic polarization, it also marked the apparent end of a particular form of polarized debate around political, social and economic ideas. The various new directions taken by scholars of international relations in the post–Cold War era constitute a large part of a new agenda' for the discipline. This collection reflects the variety of issues and approaches that have become part and parcel of this agenda over the past ten years.
Issues tackled in this volume include the power of culture and ideology, the concept of globalisation, inequality, human rights and security as well as reflections on new forms of polarization in the post–Cold War world. Each contributor addresses the nature of changes and continuities in world politics, considers how the discipline of international relations itself has changed and reflects on possible directions for the twenty–first Century.
This book will be of great interest to scholars of international relations, global politics, economics and related disciplines.

Q: How to delete any filed in ViewSet class DepartSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

    attrs = AttrSerializer(source="depattr", many=True)

    people = PeopleSerializer(source='perdepart', many=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Departs
        fields = ('url', 'name', 'describe', 'pinyin', 'attrs', 'people')

 class DepartsViewSet(viewsets.ReadOnlyModelViewSet):

    """
    i want delete people field in List , and Retain people fieled in retrieve.
    """

    queryset = Departs.objects.filter(disabled=False).order_by('-uptime')

    serializer_class = DepartSerializer

1.I  want the result like this:
2.get /depart
[
{"name":"depart1","id":1},
{"name":"depart2","id":2},
]

3.get /depart/1
{
    "name": "depart1",
    "id": 1,
    "people": [{
            "id": 1,
            "name": "per1"
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "name": "per2"
        }
    ]
}

A: You can use different serializers in your viewset depending on the action by overriding the viewset's get_serializer_class:
def get_serializer_class(self):
    if self.action == 'retrieve':
        return DepartSerializerWithoutPeople
    return DepartSerializer

retrieve is the action called by get /depart/1/. And then you can define your DepartSerializerWithoutPeople like this:
class DepartSerializerWithoutPeople(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):

    attrs = AttrSerializer(source="depattr", many=True)

    class Meta:
        model = Departs
        fields = ('url', 'name', 'describe', 'pinyin', 'attrs',)

Hello everyone, I'm back and missed you all! Last week Chase and I flew down to San Francisco for the first time to attend TwitchCon and explore. The TwitchCon event went on for 2 days and the reminder of the 3 days were spent exploring. Fisherman's Warf, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz were on our list of things to do. Today, I'm sharing some photos with you all from our trip! Hope you enjoy:-).
Luckily we booked our tour to Alcatraz a month in advance as the tours were all sold out when we got there. Alcatraz was one of the best tours we've ever done and would highly recommend to anyone visiting San Francisco for the first time.
When we got home we watched the movie, Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood!
Our first time trying Johnny Rocket's Burger and we loved it! We don't have one in Canada, so we wanted to ensure we checked out restaurants we don't have back home. We also got a chance to try In-N-Out Burger, which I actually liked more than Johnny Rocket's.
I finally got a chance to wear this denim mini skirt, as the weather wouldn't necessarily allow for it back home. Unfortunately, I'll have to put it away until next summer...:-(.
We checked out the Beach Street Grill in Fisherman's Wharf for breakfast, so amazing! Chase was really excited for his pancakes. As you can see...lol. And I had the most amazing Fresh Crab Benedict!!
On our last day we went back to the Golden Gate bridge because I wanted to check out Baker Beach. It was super chilly the last day, so I made sure to bundle up with lot's of layers this time:-).
The trip was great and I truly enjoyed every little bit of San Francisco. Unfortunately, we missed our flight back home which left us having to book with another airline, as Allegiant didn't leave again until 2 days later. We didn't necessarily estimate our time properly for how long it would take to get back to the airport from our hotel and showed up 10 minutes before departure. At that point they had already closed the gates and we were unable to board.
Definitely plan our time better next time!
Oh, it looks like you had an amazing time in San Francisco! Oh, I'd love to visit Alcatraz. It's so creepy and terrifying, and awesome! ...it's not weird that I think it seems like the greatest thing ever.
Thank you! I loved every little of SF except for the fact me missed our flight back lol. But that was our own fault:p. It was a bit spooky, but I think that's what I loved about it. If you're totally into that stuff you would love this place for sure. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Great post, amazing pictures as well, I love to visit this interesting blog. Thank you for sharing, before I forget, love your outfits too!!!
Thank you Nora! Appreciate it a lot:-). Hope you had a great weekend!
Beautiful photos! You look so cute together,lovely couple really!
Gorgoeus photos! Ive always wanted to visit San Francisco! Ive watched Escape From Alcatraz numerous times. Its so cool you actually got to go there! The weather looks like it was lovely and you both look so happy in these photos. The food shots are making me hungry tol haha!
You look so stylish in every picture! Love your looks!
Love this post! Your shoes are gorgeous.
I want to visit Alcatraz so badly! This looks like it was an amazing trip. I LOVE your outfit with the high waisted jean skirt and purple flats!
Thank you Aleczandra! That outfit was definitely one of my fav from the trip:-). Oh and you definitely must when you visit SF. Hope you had a great weekend!
That's super cool. Glad you had fun there. I've been to Alcatraz once, and I thought it was cool. Love all of your outfits, girl!
What a lovely couple ❤Amazing shots! I also Love all your outfits.
how fun to go to san fran! looks like an amazing time!
You look amazing in these photos around town. This looks like a fun trip! Glad you guys had a great time. The food looks so delicious!
You sure had a great time!


> I also would argue (as others have) that more lines of code does not imply more complexity.
> The reason: The complexity passed on to the user when he wants the UI to look a certain way is the complexity that counts.  This can occur either in the API or in code structure when API design fails and he has to modify the library.
Right but, the complexity of the code cannot be completely hidden, and attempt to do so may decrease the freedom of the user to do what the user wants to do, or what may be necessary to do in some case.
But as i said, this is only one aspect of comparing the libraries, i agree that it no way says everything about the code or the library, other features have to be considered also to meaningfully compare. Yet the number of lines of code is one important aspect in comparing the codes.
I would like to see someone comparing these GUI toolkits by other features.

St. Paul's Home
Via its Board of Management. In 1867 just prior to Confederation nine parishioners from St. Paul's Church each donated 10 pounds of sterling to start St. Paul's Alms House of Industry for Girls. Additional money was raised through further gifts received from St. Paul's parishioners, fund raising efforts with door-to-door sales of baked goods, and very modest fees. A mortgage financed by Enos Collins through Collins Bank on Historic Properties allowed the purchase of the original house on Tower Road. The Collins Bank forgave the interest each year. Girls aged 10 to 14 years old were eligible. The house was supervised by a matron and the girls went to school and church. Later they found work, usually as domestic servants and were carefully placed in "suitable" homes.
St. Paul's Alms House of Industry for Girls was incorporated in 1887 by an Act of the Legislature of Nova Scotia as a separate entity from the parish and later the name was shortened to "St. Paul's Home for Girls". Through the turn of the century, World War I and the Halifax Explosion the operation of St. Paul's Home for Girls changed very little. The organization received a significant gift of 600 acres of land in the back woods of Bedford. They ran from Rocky Lake in the North to Cobequid Road in Sackville in the West, to the top of the hill leading to Hammonds Plains Road, to the area of Bedford Yacht Club – then around the Basin and up through Eaglewood and back to Rocky Lake. Through the 1940s and 1950s small lots were sold. When the Bicentennial highway was built some of the land was purchased by the province. This provided considerable further revenue.
After World War II, along with significant changes taking place in society of the time, St. Paul's Home for Girls went through a number of changes. A number of operating styles were tried and abandoned. Eventually operations ceased for a period of time. The period from 1970 to 1995 brought many changes. It operated until 1972 as a home for orphaned girls. It changed its name to St. Paul's Home by an Act of the Legislature passed on June 26, 1982 to better reflect the goals of St. Paul's Home. The objectives of the organization were redefined and a more aggressive style of management was adopted. By this time St. Paul's Home had acquired significant capital strength and was in a position to purchase buildings in response to requests from groups who operated programs serving youth in need.
Currently, St. Paul's Home owns seven homes (including the original Tower Road building) in residential areas, within which specialized programs for troubled youth take place. Most of these homes serve as small group home residences for youth who would otherwise have nowhere to live. Phoenix Centre for Youth is an exception, and consists of a walk in center for street youth who require services and are trying to exit the street.

Sound gains Cup start after scratching
Mathew Toogood
Trainer Mike Moroney believes late Caulfield Cup inclusion Sound can run a big race. Credit: AAP
Trainer Mike Moroney believes import Sound can capitalise on his late inclusion in the Caulfield Cup field and perform much better than his odds suggest in the $5 million handicap.
Sound, to be ridden by James Winks, clinched a start in Saturday's 2400m-race as the first emergency after New Zealand Derby winner Crown Prosecutor was scratched because of lameness on Friday.
A German import, Sound is yet to win from seven Australian starts but Moroney reckons the horse is "well and truly" over the odds at $101 and believes he can prove hard to beat.
Moroney said the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups had been the focus with Sound who has been unplaced in two Group One races over shorter distances this spring, including a recent seventh in the Turnbull Stakes.
"He has gone through two races on paper he couldn't win to get ready for these two races basically. And both his runs were really good," Moroney said.
"He's had a nice preparation and everything has just gone to plan except for the last bit when it looked like we weren't going to make the race.
"We planned to have him at his best for these two Cups and I've poured the work into him going into these staying races and he's handled it really well.
"He looks terrific.
"He's going as well as he's ever gone since I've had him."
Sound was well beaten in both the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups last year after arriving from Europe "pretty light and pretty tired", Moroney said.
"All the changes of scenery were just too much for him," he said.
"I got a bit more of a handle on him in the autumn and his two runs in Sydney were really good."
Sound was fourth in the Group One Tancred Stakes (2400m) in Sydney in the second start of his autumn campaign with Moroney believing he should have finished second to Avilius, before finishing eighth in the Sydney Cup after leading and tiring late.
Second emergency Neufbosc has been taken from Sydney to Melbourne be ready to take his place if another spot opens up.
Neufbosc was examined by Racing Victoria veterinarians after arriving in Melbourne on Friday which completed the checks on all runners entered for Saturday's Cup.
Dwayne Dunn will ride at the feature meeting, including in the Cup on Rostropovich, having missed Wednesday's Caulfield meeting after the death of his father, South Australian horseman Barry Dunn.
Constantinople, still a three-year-old to northern hemisphere time, makes his Australian debut for the Lindsay Park stable and has joined the Chris Waller-trained Finche as equal $7.50 Cup favourite with the TAB ahead of Vow And Declare ($8), Japanese runner Mer De Glace ($8.50) and Mr Quickie ($8.50).

Bidens host their first White House Easter Egg Roll after two years of the pandemic
By Kate Sullivan, CNN
Updated 1:08 PM EDT, Mon April 18, 2022
President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden on Monday welcomed thousands of guests to the South Lawn of the White House for the Easter Egg Roll, an annual holiday tradition that had been canceled for the past two years because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"This year we're finally getting together again," the President said from the Truman Balcony at the White House. "And it's so special. It means so much to see and hear the children and all the families show up to be here today."
The first lady, who is also a community college professor, said this year's event was designed to honor "the determined spirit of education."

"As your first lady and as a teacher, I've seen again and again that learning doesn't only happen in a classroom. There are so many fun opportunities to learn around us every day. And that's especially true here at the White House. For generations, presidents and first ladies and kids just like you celebrated the Easter Egg Roll together, racing and making crafts, reading books and of course meeting the Easter Bunny. Education never stops," Jill Biden said. She has taught English classes for a number of years at Northern Virginia Community College.
The White House was expecting 30,000 guests at this year's event, which they are calling the 2022 White House Easter "EGGucation" Roll. It is one of the few big events the Bidens have been able to host since taking office last year because of concerns about spreading Covid-19.
Approximately 50,000 hard-boiled eggs were to be used for egg roll races, an egg hunt, and dyeing and decorating, according to the American Egg Board, which donated 90,000 eggs to the event as part of its longtime partnership with the White House.
The return of the annual tradition comes as the White House looks to move the country into a new phase of the pandemic that it says will be less disruptive to Americans' daily lives. White House officials argue that even if new variants emerge and case counts rise again, the nation is prepared because of the availability of vaccines, boosters, at-home tests, treatments and masks.
But officials are closely monitoring the highly contagious Omicron subvariant BA.2, which is now the dominant strain in the United States. The federal transportation mask mandate was recently extended in part because of the rising cases, according to US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy.


Can someone explain how a conference that is mostly attended by Israeli or Jewish academics has become "anti-semitic" threat to Israel? There's no doubt it is extremely anti-Israel. But did anyone see the names of the people speaking at it? Many of them are Israelis, or former Israelis and more than half the academics at the conference are Jewish, some of them long-time activists.
I mean, you can say it is a very anti-Israel conference, say it denies Israel's rights, etc…but anti-semitic?
I don't get the problem here. First of all there are many academics in Israel who support this critique that is the center of the conference and call into question Israel's nature. It is a perfectly legitimate form of academic discourse to question Israel's founding principles or Zionism; and it is normal among the social sciences faculty to have these kind of radical conferences. I mean if there was a conference discussing the exceptionalism of France or the US, China or Iran; Iceland or Norway, why is that a problem? If the same exact conference was at an Israeli university it would be considered an almost normal event, radical, but normal. There are many academic papers published all the time in Israeli academic journals or by Israeli academics calling Israel's founding a "colonial settler state." That's the discourse in Israel anyway.
That's a bit disingenuous. According to your theory ISIS could hold a perfectly normal academic conference by only inviting people such as Mohammed Emwazi and claim it is okay because the people are British – and we'd applaud. What has their nationality got to do with it?
This is a meeting of activists meeting on a topic outside of their general fields as part of their general activism against Israel. If they wont turn it into a true academic debate by inviting those that disagree, then let them do this in a village hall, not a university.
I'm pretty sure you read the info about this conference and are aware that it's central focus is what the Hard Left views as Israel's "legitimacy", since even though the title does mention "exceptionalism" (which is a weasel word in any case), all of the spiel from the conference organizers relates back to how they feel Israel is NOT legitimate and how they hope to fix that (take a wild guess). One would normally have a problem with a sovereign state being lectured about how it shouldn't exist, but it's not that surprising you and your Hard Left buddies aren't willing to admit that's the conference's key point.
And while you compiled a long list of impressive Azajews, I've noted elsewhere that they're useful idiots for a cause that's going to exile them from any platforms if they win at best and more likely kill them if given the chance, so, yeah.
