It started in Chicago, where Debra wrote and sang original musicals for her stuffed animals when she was very young. She began an illustrious theatrical career starring as Toto in a summer camp production of Wizard of Oz. Barely surviving head-to-toe fur in sweltering July heat, she already knew how to suffer for her art.
Debra studied acting at the nationally-acclaimed Piven Theatre Workshop with such talents as John Cusack, Joan Cusack, and Jeremy Piven. Her vocal training began at the Northwestern University vocal department while still attending high school. She declined an opera scholarship to Oberlin Conservatory in order to study musical theatre at University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM.)
She took a quarter off to work for a few months in live theatre. Fifteen productions later, she returned to school and graduated magna cum laude from Tufts University and received a Masters of Fine Arts in musical theatre from San Diego State University, where she graduated Phi Kappa Phi as a Marion Ross Scholar.
Debra has performed in regional theatres and cabaret clubs across the country, most frequently in Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, and South Florida. In Professionally Speaking at the Off-Broadway, The Miami Herald hailed her "a comic sparkplug." Her role in Triumph of Love won a KPBS-TV Patté award. Her one-woman show My Nights With George, Kurt & Cole, (co-written and directed by comic genius, Phil Johnson) was featured at various venues throughout Southern California and won Best New Play and Best Actress at the 2003 San Diego Actors Festival, and the San Diego Playbill Billie Award for Best Actress in a musical.

Description He sparkled like a madman, but the flies still paid him no attention.Original painting done in iridescent paints and inks.
Artist Statement My Spirals In Love series depicts fantastic creatures spiraling in and out of love. Figures traditionally associated with children's art (magical beings, monsters, anthropomorphized animals) are often burdened with very human and sometimes adult emotions. Common themes are delirious love, loneliness, and giant desserts.
My paintings are done with a 3-step process. First, I use a soft pencil to rough out vague shapes of figures, sometimes based on thumbnail sketches. Then I select my colors and apply them in stages - depending on the painting I may let each color dry for more separation or I may blend several layers of color while still wet. One thing that I strive to do with this series is apply painting techniques from other mediums to watercolors. This allows me to get brighter colors and textures not usually seen in traditional watercolor paintings. Finally, I elaborate on the original sketch with colored inks.
I have been making art since I was a child, but the origins of the Spirals In Love style can be traced back to around age 15 when I discovered the joy of adding definition to the usually soft edges of watercolors. The spirals came shortly after that.

My absolute favorite right now! It is a perfect- natural sunscreen that doesn't feel chalky, absorbs well, and leaves your skin feeling juicy. This light SPF is perfect for winter.
This blend is a mixture of sweet almond oil, ghee, rose oil, licorice, sandalwood, honeysuckle, and a few other herbs. It is a night-time repairing facial oil for very dry skin. Almond oil is deeply nourishing and restorative. It is an excellent emollient and keeps the proper balance of moisture in the skin. When I wake up in the morning after using this oil, my skin is refreshed and dry patch-less!

Q: How to structure a Jetpack Compose project? I am new to Android and Jetpack Compose. With Views screens were defined in different Fragments or Activities, but with Compose it looks like all Screens are defined in the MainAcitivity. What is the best way to structure screen code for different screens when using Compose? Are there any guides to best practices here?

A: I guess it's totally up to you and/or your team.
I'm using compose in a real multi-module project and following this approach:

*

*core/components: common/generic components used by the entire app.

*core/theme:: classes related to the application theme.

*[feature]/components: unlike the previous one, this package contains components shared across screens of the same feature. Of course if/when a component is used by two or more features, it should be promoted to the core/components package.

*[feature]/screens: contains the screens related to a given feature.

*[feature]/navigation: this is where located the NavHost and other classes related to navigation.

A: I don't think there is "the best" way to structure your code, it depends on the size of your project and your preferences. But here is how I organize the UI layer of my compose projects:

*

*screens: contains packages that contain screen-specific components and an eventual view model like home.

*Navigation.kt: contains the NavHost and other navigation-related utils. I use the navigation-compose library to manage the app navigation.

*screens/shared: contains classes or/and functions that are not specific to a single screen e.g: reusable components used in different screens or shared view models.

*MainActivity: set the composable that contains the NavHost as its content.

*GameResApplication: contains nothing special, I created it because I'm using Hilt.

*theme: created by Android Studio.

*utils: some UI utils and fake data that I use in my @Preview composables.

Here is a real project example on github

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Review
Reviews, Video Games / By Gnarsh
The XCOM series is one I'm fairly new to, I had heard of the games a little but had a small understanding of what they were until about a year ago when I heard of the new X-COM game by Firaxis which I have since played and enjoyed for its gameplay and interesting fiction. Around the same time I heard the strategy game I also had discovered another XCOM game planned to be a first person shooter and then suddenly disappeared. Then a few months ago the game had reemerged as a 3rd person shooter with a promising squad strategy aspect set at the time of the beginning of the XCOM organization so I was intrigued to find how well this game stacks up to its promises.
In the game you play William Carter, a CIA agent assigned to deliver a high priority package to Myron Faulke at a top secret facility. While waiting in your room with the package a woman (who you later find had been controlled by the Outsiders) forcibly enters the room and opens the package after shooting you in the shoulder, when you awaken after being attack you find wound healed and the woman who attacked you charred black for no explainable reason. You then head outside to find most soldiers at the base dead and mysterious creatures attacking the base, from there you rescue Myron and escape the facility to begin planning defenses against the alien attack.
The Bureau, as I said earlier, is a 3rd person shooter with squad control mechanics; overall the gameplay is okay, but a major problem lets it down. In the game there are three types of missions, Primary – Story Missions, Secondary – Side Missions, and Dispatch missions where you send your squad members out on missions without you for new equipment or squad members. In each mission, you are allowed to bring two squad members and there are four classes: Commandos or Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Support. You command your squad similarly to a game like Mass Effect, you press B on the Xbox controller and the game brings up a circular screen where you select which abilities you'd like each squad member to use.
However I have a few complaints with these aspects. I never did a dispatch mission because it required the combined level of the squad members to be a certain ranking, and I didn't want to send my best men on the missions because they wouldn't be available to me on my next mission. The squad A.I. is also not the best and this is not aided by the games difficulty at times, often my squad members would go down while during a major battle and I would have to turn all my attention to him because of the games short revive timer that doesn't reset each time the same person goes down. Additionally going down puts all abilities at max cool down, abilities like heal which can be critical in the middle of a fight and has a cool down timer of 50 seconds.
This game definitely isn't the best looking game around but I found it was tolerable once you played for about an hour. The voice acting wasn't great either, especially for side characters like your squad members, who thankfully rarely talk. In addition to this the talking animations aren't very good either. Besides these faults, the audio is pretty good, the guns, enemies, and ships you encounter sound nice and feel like they belong in an XCOM game.
This game is in no way the best game of the year and can be extremely aggravating at times, but if you can make it through some of the roughness you'll find an game that nicely shows the creation of XCOM and a has an interesting story that goes to odd, but intriguing places later on. Overall I would give this game a 70 out of 100 and would consider getting if you can find it for about $20

It seems that the church in Vulcan is the only one from Bârsa Country which has assigned a time to its foundation: above the gate there is an inscription which says that this church was founded in 1521. The fortified church in Vulcan is similar to a miniature compared to other fortified churches in Transylvania. Some of the rooms in the wall of the fortification are used, even today, for depositing fruits and vegetables.

Facebook Live Mini-Concert Apr 25, 2018
Greetings! We did a Facebook Live Mini-Concert on Wed Apr 25 at 6pm PST. Manohar and I will be doing some songs from the Heart of Nepal album that we are working on. Click on the image below to watch a recording of the concert.
In case you didn't get the memo :), we have a crowdfunding campaign going on for an album of folk songs and festival songs with my friend and colleague Manohar Gurung. Manohar is a percussionist from Nepal also living here in LA. We are about 50% completed with the album and we are raising funds to finish the album. Also, we will donate 5% of all proceeds of the fundraiser and the album sales to charities in Nepal.
I have been enjoying the whole process of selecting the songs, arranging, recording, putting together the crowdfunding campaign including the text, perks, and working on the video. My purpose is to bring more peace in the world through beautiful music and helping those who are in need and who aren't as fortunate as I am.

Q: Django modelform field how to make disabled and prevent tampering? There is this disabled attribute. But i am not able to apply it to the modelform fields. I am not sure how to. I can add it to forms.Form easily. But since I am using widgets I just dont know where to insert it.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/forms/fields/#disabled
class TestForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Test
        fields = ['date']
        widgets = {'date': forms.TextInput(attrs={'readonly': 'readonly'})}

A: I was facing a situation when I wanted to disable some fields when creating . And some fields disabled when editing.
My Env: Python 3, Django 2.1
My Form:
class AddInvoiceForm(forms.ModelForm):
    disabled_fields = ['inv_type', 'report', 'subsidiary']
    class Meta:
        model = models.Invoice
        fields = ('inv_type', 'report', 'subsidiary', 'rate_card', 'reviewed')

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(AddInvoiceForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        instance = getattr(self, 'instance', None)
        if instance and instance.pk:
            for field in self.disabled_fields:
                self.fields[field].disabled = True
        else:
            self.fields['reviewed'].disabled = True

A: Try something like this, assuming that your date field is forms.DateField and that you want to use TextInput widget:
class TestForm(forms.ModelForm):
    date = forms.DateField(widget=forms.TextInput, disabled=True)
    class Meta:
        model = Test
        fields = ['date']

This will override the default field definition which is created from your Test model definition.

The disabled boolean argument, when set to True, disables a form field using the disabled HTML attribute so that it won't be editable by users. Even if a user tampers with the field's value submitted to the server, it will be ignored in favor of the value from the form's initial data.

Read about readonly  vs disabled HTML input attributes.
The key note to take out from the above SO post is:

A readonly element is just not editable, but gets sent when the according form submits. a disabled element isn't editable and isn't sent on submit.

From above quote, setting disabled=True is enough, so you dont need to set readonly attribute on your widget.

A: class TestForm(forms.ModelForm):
date = forms.CharField(disabled=True)
class Meta:
    model = Test
    fields = ['date']

    widgets = {
        'date': forms.TextInput(attrs={'readonly': 'readonly'}),
    }

Home zzz-Archive Reviews Films from the Island: A Retrospective of Taiwanese Cinema
Films from the Island: A Retrospective of Taiwanese Cinema
';el.html(''+l+''+'');})})})(jQuery);
The phrase "Made in Taiwan" could take on a new meaning this weekend when the UW Cinematheque presents "Films from the Island: A Retrospective of Taiwanese Cinema." Of the five films being shown, four were recently donated to the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Chicago. But it's the sheer bulk of the office's donation ' over 120 films covering the last 30 years ' that suddenly makes the UW a player in Taiwanese cinema, particularly the so-called New Taiwanese Cinema. Until recently, Taiwan's cinematic past was virtually unknown to Western scholars and critics. Then Hou Hsiao-hsien and Edward Yang broke into the international film-festival circuit, suggesting that art films were flourishing on this island nation during the 1980s. The new collection, a circulating library that was designed for viewing in the United States, should both confirm that notion and fill in the large blanks next to Hou and Yang's names.
"It's very exciting, because these are directors I'm not familiar with," David Bordwell told me over the phone recently. Bordwell, in addition to being a well-known film scholar and teacher, is the director of the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research, and he sees the Taiwanese collection as a fulfillment of its mission. "We like to provide a deeper, broader context," he says. "And since very few of these films are available on video, we've become the go-to place for Taiwanese cinema. Other archives have some of the films. We're the only ones who have the totality."
Bordwell, who happens to be working on a book involving Hou, will immediately benefit from this infusion of context, but for graduate student Jim Udden, who's doing his Ph.D. thesis on Hou as well, it must be like having history at your fingertips. From the huge cache of films, most of them still uncatalogued, Udden has culled the four that are screening this weekend. "They're typical of the New Taiwanese Cinema," he says, "and together they show the remarkable changes that were occurring in the 1980s, in both the Taiwanese film industry and the country as a whole."
Occupied by one foreign power or another for hundreds of years, then kicked off the international stage when the U.S. opened diplomatic relations with China, Taiwan found itself betwixt and between in the '80s ' between the West and the East, the First World and the Third, the future and the past. And Taiwanese cinema, thanks to financial assistance from the government, started to reflect those changes. "You got this personal cinema that was trying to catch the Taiwanese mood," Bordwell says. "More naturalistic, more autobiographical, more interesting."
This weekend's mini-retro, which screens for free at 4070 UW Vilas Hall, includes four films from the '80s and Ang Lee's 1994 comedy Eat Drink Man Woman, which paved the way for Sense and Sensibility and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Lee, who's about to unleash The Hulk on a defenseless global market, is considered part of New Taiwanese Cinema's second wave. But it's Hou, Yang and their contemporaries who set things in motion, and here's your chance to see how they did it. If you're reading this early enough on Thursday, March 6, you may still have a chance to catch the 3:30 p.m. screening of Runaway, "a gritty, Kurosawa-like study of a bandit who kidnaps a young woman and then decides to reform." On Friday, March 7, two films ' Ah Fei (7:30 p.m.) and Reunion (9:30 p.m.) ' trace the postwar period in Taiwanese history. And on Saturday, March 8, there's Eat Drink Man Woman (7:30 p.m.) and The Matrimony (9:30 p.m.), in which two young lovers in '50s Taiwan defy both their parents and society.

How life is about to change for them as they enter a new phase as a family, their excitement is contageous, and I wish them a fast easy birth ahead. We all just loved the beautiful skin contrast and we all wonder what colour skin the baby will end up with? Soon to be revealed, stay tuned for an update after the birth.

Some people wrinkle their noses when they hear about "group travel." They might be picturing rowdy teenagers partying their way across Cancun, or crotchety seniors grumbling about a late dinner hour. That's why we work so hard to ensure our groups click.
We once had a couple who won a trip for two on one of our Muskoka experiences at a charity silent auction.
Muskoka is a magical place, and the itinerary is all about reflection, rejuvenation and refinement. Many of our Muskoka guests are seeking mindful connection, with time to take inventory of their own spiritual wellbeing.
This couple, however, did not seem particularly spiritually inclined. At the welcome cocktail reception, we had an Indigenous elder come and speak about Muskoka, its history, energy and spirituality. This couple stood off to the side, unsure. As we do on all our trips, we made a point of introducing and including everyone, however, we wondered how they would fit in.
At first, they were quiet, watching, a little standoff-ish, gauging how the weekend was going to go. Over the next three nights, it was amazing to watch the change/transformation…they became engaged and animated and by the final night of the trip, they too were gathered around the campfire, singing and dancing! As we parted ways, they were the first to suggest a post-trip dinner and catch up with fellow travellers. As luck would have it, they joined us again the very next year!
Group travel can open doors that would otherwise remain hidden to solo travellers. It's a chance to connect with like-minded people, and see and experience things in new ways, as travel mates share what they know or what they're noticing.
Connect before you go. We like to put people together, as though we're welcoming friends for a dinner party, and have their commonalities and connections surface organically. We organize a pre-travel mixer to help our guests feel like they're travelling with friends, not strangers, and to help people get familiar with the destination and the itinerary.
Plan trips together. Our Divine-by-Design Travel Advisory Board helps us plan itineraries featuring the sites and experiences that resonate most deeply with our travellers. Joining our Travel Advisory Board allows you to create the experience you want, with people who feel the same. The Divine Destination Collection trips are customized to reflect the interests and curiosities of our guests, meaning you'll find like-minded explorers and an itinerary that appeals most to you.
Keep an open mind. While our itineraries are designed to meet the needs, wants & expectations of travellers, group travel by its very nature means there may be some elements that are more appealing than others. But keep an open mind. Allow space for connection. You may find it in unexpected places!
Rely on your hosts and guides. It's our job to help our travel groups find cohesion. Co-founders Deb Niven and Allison Frame travel on all our trips and are an essential part of ensuring that everyone is made to feel welcome, included and an integral part of the overall experience. Our best trips happen when our travellers feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable to the place and the people they're meeting. Lean on us to help you get there.
Take a little alone time if you need it. We understand that people want "white space" or leisure time and there are definitely elements of each program that are at leisure, for you to enjoy. Take a little space, take a deep breath, enjoy the magic of your surroundings. Reconnect with the group when the fancy strikes.
Go deeper. We also know people want to take full advantage of being in an exotic place, so we offer optional activities over and above the trip itinerary and hope travellers will use the additional offerings to immerse themselves deeper into the destination.
There is a magical alchemy to our trips that works on people and is truly heartwarming!


Black Dog Publishing writes: See Yourself Sensing: Redefining Human Perception is the first book to survey the fascinating relationship between design, the body, science and the senses. Over the last 50 years, artists, architects and designers have been experimenting with the boundaries of our senses, altering the way we experience the world.
Did you know it has been revealed that we can hear our skin, can see through our tongue, and can plug our nervous system directly into a computer? With prosthetics, robotics, cybernetics, virtual reality, transplants, and neuroscience altering the way we perceive and experience space, the body has re-emerged as an important architectural site. See Yourself Sensing reports the experiments of artists and designers on the intimate scale of the body, and explores the influence of such experimentation on architecture, installation and new media.
Exploring this concept through the last 50 years of contemporary art and design, See Yourself Sensing examines the work of key practitioners in this field, from Rebecca Horn's object based installations and Stelarc's robotic body extensions, to Carsten Höllers' physically interactive sculptures. The works and artists illustrated throw into consideration how we see and sense the world around us through artistic interpretation. The book includes projects such as solar-powered contact lenses that augment reality, LED eyelashes and an implanted tooth receiver that transmits the Internet directly into the wearer's inner ear, all created with the purpose of transforming and provoking the wearer's sensory experience.
Madeline Schwartzman brings together this unique collection of images that reflect the sensory design in architecture, art and installation, chartering the breadth of this sensory theme through the work of many renowned artists. Analysing the importance and influence of body-scaled sensory experiments, Schwartzman reveals the fascinating relationship between senses, body, art and perception.
Books on similar topics tend to look either like catalogs listing and illustrating relevant projects or lengthy essays that you might or might not have the strength and desire to read from the first to the last page. See Yourself Sensing manages to keep the balance between the two. There are plenty of works to illustrate each chapter, many of which i had never heard about and was therefore enthusiastic to encounter. But it is also a well-paced, well-researched essay about the impact technologies are having on the architecture of our senses.
Instead of dividing the book into chapters that would each focus on one of our human senses, the author chose to adopt more conceptual approach. The first chapter, Reframers takes a look at the mind-bending in function, utility or outlook. Environments negociates the space between bodies and containers. Tools deals with utility, performance and enhancement. Mediators are the agents that intervene between people, spaces and objects. The final chapter, Speculations is the boldest of all with its set of ideas and projects that spark even more inspiration and conjectures. The introduction to each chapter focuses on a few artists, researchers or designers. They can be as diverse as R&Sie and Kevin Warwick. Then the book adopts a faster rhythm with the presentation of dozens of project that illustrate the theme of the chapter.
The sections are not hermetically closed, they keep referencing each other and there is a sense of narration, a flow that keeps your mind alert and your interest alert. I think this book is going to be one i'll be referencing again and again. And there aren't many books i can see myself getting back to regularly.

"Even less of a commitment"
Today we caught a remarkably (and perhaps unintentionally) clear glimpse of Scott Fitzgerald's true feelings about UW System funding, courtesy of one little adverb. If you had suspected that Senate Republicans were disinclined to restore any of the proposed $300 million cut, regardless of the size of spring tax receipts, Fitzgerald today removed all doubt.
By way of background: Fitzgerald is the Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader. His office makes him one of the most important people shaping the state's 2015-17 budget, alongside Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Governor Scott Walker, and the 16 members of the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee. As JFC wraps up its work and we head into the late stages of the budget negotiations, there appears to be a minor conflict brewing between Assembly Republicans, who want to reduce (however slightly) the amount of Walker's proposed cut to UW, and Senate Republicans, who don't.
Yesterday brought the news that revenue from spring tax receipts (to be announced May 4) is unlikely to be as large as many had hoped. With the Republicans who control the Legislature in ideological lockstep against any tax increases, or any restoration of their many recent tax cuts, spring tax receipts represent the only politically possible source of new revenue that might be used to offset the cuts proposed by Walker throughout the budget.
There seems to be a consensus among those making the decisions that public K-12—faced with a proposed $127 million drop in funding as it stands—is first in line for any new money coming in. UW System leaders have been lobbying hard to get near the front of the line; at his March 25 appearance at UWM, System President Ray Cross reported proudly that UW was tied for first with K-12.
In the meantime, UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank proposed, and the Board of Regents at its April meeting approved, major increases in tuition for out-of-state undergraduates and for graduate and professional students. With that as background, here is what Fitzgerald had to say today about where the UW System stands in the pecking order and to what extent the proposed $300 million cut might be reduced: "I think with the out-of-state and the graduate student tuition increases that the Regents implemented there probably seems to be even less of a commitment to backfill that."
The phrase "even less of a commitment" carries what Jessica Rett, a semanticist at UCLA, calls an "evaluative" interpretation (treated in detail in her recent book). Ordinary unadorned uses of gradable adjectives (which linguists call positives) are evaluative: John is tall means that John exceeds some relevant standard of tallness. Simple comparatives are not evaluative: John is taller than Bill can be true even if neither John nor Bill is tall. Positive-antonym equatives are not evaluative (John is as tall as Bill; fine if neither is tall), but negative-antonym equatives are (John is as short as Bill; only true if they're both short).
Fitzgerald's phrase contains a comparative, which, under ordinary circumstances, is not evaluative. Had he simply said there probably seems to be less of a commitment, that would have been consistent with there being a relatively high level of commitment that has now come down a bit. But the inclusion of even gives away the game: modified by even, this comparative becomes unambiguously evaluative. When Fitzgerald said there seems to be even less of a commitment, he (perhaps unwittingly) revealed the fact that the commitment level was already low, and is now lower still. Whether or not he intended to do it in quite this way, Fitzgerald made it absolutely clear that he has no intention of restoring any funding to the UW System, indeed that he's never had any intention of doing so.
What Blank and the Regents have provided is a remarkably convenient excuse. Madison is the only UW campus for which raising out-of-state and graduate/professional tuition represents anything like a viable path out of the current cuts. By going ahead with that plan now, before the budget has been passed, they have given lawmakers a gift-wrapped argument for implementing all of Walker's proposed cuts, and have managed to throw the rest of the System under the bus in the process.
Things are, if possible, even worse than before.

Comparative ellipsis: more misleading
In today's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Guy Boulton writes:
People who are young, healthy and have good jobs that don't provide health benefits will pay more for health insurance under federal health care reform.
People who are older, or have health problems, will pay less. So will those who work in low-paying jobs and buy insurance on their own.
At the same time, the number of people without health insurance in Wisconsin would drop by 340,000 by 2016.
Let's set aside Boulton's needless and debatable inclusion of the adjective good as a modifier of jobs that carry no health care benefits, as well as his decision to employ a double negative (without and drop) in order to convey a net gain of 340,000 insured Wisconsinites. What is particularly interesting—and misleading—about Boulton's prose is the way in which it establishes a contrast between two comparative noun phrases whose than clauses have been elided.
The basic function of a than clause is to make a standard of comparison linguistically explicit. If you say I pay more than Bob does, the clause than Bob does provides the standard of comparison (namely, the amount that Bob pays) for the comparative term more, which in turn tells you that the amount you (the subject) pay is higher than that standard. When no standard of comparison is overtly indicated in the sentence, we are free to recover one from context.
In Boulton's first paragraph, the subject matter of the article and the prepositional phrase under federal health care reform lead the reader to infer that the standard of comparison associated with pay more for health insurance should be something like than they pay now, prior to health care reform. That is, despite the absence of an overt than clause to provide full clarity, we can safely assume that the intended comparison is between what the young and healthy will pay post-reform and what they pay pre-reform.
In the second paragraph, things get murkier. The grammatical parallelism between the first two paragraphs might be taken to indicate that the standard of comparison here is just like the one above, but with the subjects changed accordingly (in linguistic terms, a case of sloppy identity under ellipsis): i.e., the standard would be the amount that those who are older or have health problems pay prior to health care reform. On the other hand, the first paragraph has now provided us with another salient possible antecedent for the standard of comparison: the amount that the young and healthy will pay after the implementation of health care reform. On this second reading of the sentence, the comparison is between what the old and unhealthy will pay post-reform and what the young and healthy will pay post-reform. In the absence of a than clause to point the way, the reader is free to choose either interpretive path.
The second reading makes the controversial, and untrue, claim that the old and unhealthy will in general pay less for health care than the young and healthy under health care reform. The report referenced (but not linked to) in Boulton's article is freely available online; see in particular tables 16 and 17 on p. 27, which show that, according to the authors' projections, even those "winners" in health care reform age 50 and over will still pay more than "losers" in their 20's, that "winners" age 60 and over will pay more than "losers" in their 20's or 30's, and so on, to say nothing of the fact that there are "winners" and "losers" in all age brackets. A quick perusal of the Journal-Sentinel's comments section (not recommended under any circumstances) reveals that this second reading of the comparative in Boulton's second paragraph, though false, is readily available for many readers, with predictable effect on the tone and ideological bent of discussion.
Perhaps Boulton can be absolved of the sin of journalistic bias in favor of the lesser sin of journalistic laziness: the jaundiced eye he casts on health care reform is only slightly less unblinking than that of the tendentiously named Wisconsin Office of Free Market Health Care (created by Scott Walker in early 2011), the state agency that commissioned the report in question. Indeed, the broad outlines of Boulton's article largely follow those of the Office's press release. Though Boulton thankfully eschews the Office's use of boldface for the details it finds most dreadful, he also drops the scare-quotes that the report's authors had dutifully included around the terms "winners" and "losers", in an apparent attempt to mine some deep social meaning from the jargon of academic economists. Whatever its root cause, the rhetorical slipperiness of Boulton's elided than clauses does his readers a major disservice. We should expect more.

Catch UpRelive 'Andi Mack' Season 1 With the Most Emotional Moments From the Show
Updated: Oct 20, 2017 4:26 pm
By Zoë Alliyah Haylock
Courtesy of Disney
There's less than a month until Andi Mack Season 2 begins on Disney Channel. Are you caught up? Andi Mack Season 1 was a legit roller coaster of emotion, starting with the big reveal in the first episode that Andi (Peyton Elizabeth Lee)'s "older sister" Bex (Lilan Bowden) is actually her biological mom, and her "mom" is really her grandmother. The last season ended with a huge cliffhanger and we're dying to find out what happened. In honor of the new season, let's go over some of Andi Mack's most memorable moments! Seriously, we're already crying.
Episode 1: That moment when Bex tells Andi she is her real mother — not her older sister.
In the first episode, Bex tells Andi, "Do you think that you're not in here? You are," before pulling out a photo of her in the hospital holding a little baby Andi. It reveals to the middle schooler that the woman she thought was her sister was actually her mom! Now, Andi's whole world begins to turn upside down – starting with a brand new dad.
Episode 7: Remember when Andi and Bowie spent the entire day together?
Otherwise known as: "We're gonna have the best father-daughter day ever!" Andi gets to leave school early and spend some time with her adventurous and fun-loving dad, Bowie Quinn (Trent Garrett). They film stuff for his vlog and he teaches her all about his alternative-fuel car. It's the perfect distraction from all the drama with Andi's crush, Jonah Beck (Asher Dov Angel).
Episode 8: When Bowie showed Andi the final video there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
After Bowie basically follows her around with a camera for two days, Andi was starting to get super annoyed. But Bowie swooped in with this super sweet video montage expressing his love for his new found daughter. He says "I've only known her two days, but I honestly can't remember what my life was like without her." Major feels over here.
Episode 10: Andi calling Bex her mom for the very first time.
"Being there felt like old times. But it's new times now, and this is my home… and you're my mom," Andi tells Bex. She may miss her old life, but there's so many exciting and new things happening with her real mom. This ridiculously cute moment will go down in Andi Mack history.
Episode 12: Then, Andi realizes her parents are meant to be together.
Bowie sings "You girl, make me weak and make me strong, how'd I ever get along without you, girl" to Bex, proving to just about everyone that the two of them are the perfect couple. Well, everyone except Bex. She's gonna take a little bit more convincing before she can let herself fall in love with Bowie again. But don't worry, Andi's got a plan and Bowie has a ring! Will he propose to Bex in season two?
An engagement is exactly the type of drama we'd love to see on season two of Andi Mack! If you're not already caught up with the first season, stop what you're doing and catch the show on the Disney Now app. New episodes of Andi Mack return to Disney Channel on October 27, 2017 — and you won't want to miss a single second.

Cardiff City Ladies Football Club

2016/17 Season Review: May
With the title challenge now over the focus turned to who would get the second-place spot in the table, Cardiff City Ladies or Coventry United Ladies. This would be decided with a huge home game for City Ladies between the two sides, would Cardiff be able to finish the season off in style?
Sunday 7th May 2017: Cardiff City Ladies 1 – 2 Coventry United Ladies (Chivers 21')
Coventry were in the driving seat going into this game knowing that a win would seal the second spot in the table whereas Cardiff knew a win today would put them in the driving seat, heading into the last game against Crystal Palace Ladies. The game of football however, was only at the forefront of people's minds for less than a minute when a hard challenge from Stephanie Smith in the first minute left Abbie Britton with a fractured tibia. After a fourteen minute delay the game was restarted but a sombre tone had enveloped it. The two sides were even but it was City Ladies who took the lead in the 21st minute when Chloe Chivers headed in from 12 yards out. Kerry Bartlett almost doubled the lead three minutes later, but that would prove to be the end of the chances for a while. In the 42nd minute Cardiff had another injury concern, this time Laura Williams going off forcing Cardiff into their second substitution in the first half. In the third minute of the 14 to be added on at the end of the first half, Coventry United hit back when Ali Hall turned her defender and slid the ball into the bottom corner, ensuring that the sides went into the break level.
It was Cardiff who came out the stronger of the two sides in the second half with Chivers forcing the keeper into a fantastic save before Ellis Hillman saw a deflected effort almost sneak under the bar. Laura O'Sullivan was kept busy in the Cardiff goal too, having to make a number of good saves, but it was in the 80th minute after Cardiff had failed to convert on a number of chances that they were ultimately punished. Amber Hughes was fed through on goal and slid the ball underneath O'Sullivan, whose touch wasn't enough to divert it away from goal and Coventry had the lead. They then sat back and soaked up Cardiff pressure and Chivers was by far the most dangerous player on the pitch but she was unable to add a second to her tally for the afternoon and Coventry came away winners. They were now guaranteed second spot in the league whilst Cardiff were down to fourth, relying on C&K Basildon to take points away from Charlton on final day to finish top three.
Cardiff City Ladies: O'Sullivan, Allen, Bartlett, Britton (Llewellyn 15'), Chivers, Evans, Hillman, C Lloyd, Mills (Randall 80'), C Williams, L Williams (Green 42')
Bookings: Evans
Sunday 14th May 2017: Crystal Palace Ladies 0 – 1 Cardiff City Ladies (Bartlett)
The final game of the season saw Cardiff City Ladies travel to Crystal Palace Ladies in a game which they knew they had to win to stand a chance of taking the 3rd spot in the table. It was a feisty game with five players going in the referee's notebook, but a single goal from Kerry Bartlett would prove to be the difference between the two sides. That goal coupled with C&K Basildon ending up on the right side of a seven-goal thriller against Charlton Athletic, ensured Cardiff's final league position inside the top three behind Tottenham and Coventry.
Cardiff City Ladies: O'Sullivan, Allen, Bartlett, Evans, Hillman (Turner 58'), C Lloyd, Mills, Randall, Suominen (Deacon 70'), C Williams, L Williams
Bookings: Randall, Suominen, C Williams

I think it is a well-known fact that the wealth of many Australians is linked to the property that they own. Indeed for many in Australia, security, especially financial security, can be achieved by owning a property. And most people would expect that the value of their property will grow significantly over the years. For example within the last 10 years the median price of a house in Sydney has risen 92%. Melbourne witnesses an even sharper rise: the median price of a house there has risen 103% in 10 years! So if you happen to own a property either in Sydney or Melbourne, you are indeed a happy person ... at least according to the world's standard.
But the psalmist in our reading from the Psalm 91 today begs to differ. For him true security belongs not to the one who owns a house or a property as their main asset, but the one who has God as their main 'asset'. He declares that true security belongs to the ones who have God as their shelter (v.1) and dwelling place (v.9).
Now don't get me wrong. For the people of Israel attaining wealth was not evil.
Indeed at the very foundation of their faith was the belief that God had given the Promised Land, flowing with milk and honey, for Israel's' benefit. Yes, God gave the land to Israel so that Israel could be prosperous.
But the land belonged to God and not to them. That was why, in our reading from the book of Deuteronomy, during each harvest, the people of Israel must offer the first crop to God in the temple. They must recite the story about their ancestors to the priest in the temple to remind them of who they were and the goodness that God had done to them. The practice was done so that the people of Israel would never forget that they did not own the land; God gave the land to them for the benefit of all.
Sadly the goodness and the richness of the world have often made people greedier and forget that it is all a gift from God. But we don't own the world and its richness.
The earth is not our creation; it is created for us. And the gift is given so that we can all be prosperous in God's world. Mahatma Gandhi once said that the world is enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed.
So we must ask the same question that the people of Israel must never stop asking themselves: who/what resides at the very center of our life? Is it God or is it the richness and wealth that the world offers?
This question also lied at the heart of the temptations that Jesus experienced in the desert. The Devil forced Jesus to decide which one was the true foundation of his being: food, glory, security, or God? It was clear in the passage that God, especially God's words, was the foundation of Jesus' very being. Jesus declared that he could survive without food or glory or security, but he would never survive without God.
Meister Eckhart, a Dominican priest who lived in the 13th century, once said that we could get to God by what he called as a process of subtraction. What he meant with that is that we can find God by letting go, by ridding ourselves of everything until there is only God. Indeed during this season of Lent we are invited to reflect on the same question that Jesus and Israel asked: if everything else is gone, what lies at the heart of our life?
I once watched a video about a poor street vendor who was selling food in a park in Colombo, Sri Lanka. An actor pretended to be a genuine buyer approached the vendor and bought a food from him. But instead of giving the right amount of money to pay for the food, the actor gave a significantly more amount of more money to the vendor and simply left. At first the street vendor was a bit confused about what to do with the money, but he then immediately chased the actor and offered the money back.
"You paid too much Sir," the vendor said.
But the vendor insisted the actor to take the money back.
Now we may feel rather uneasy about doing social experiment such as these with the poor, but there is a lesson to be learned here. Despite living in poverty, these people did not live in what Stephen R. Covey, the author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, called as Scarcity Mentality. Scarcity Mentality sees "life as having only so much, as though there were only one pie out there. And if someone were to get a big piece of the pie, it would mean less for everybody else," he says. This kind of mentality results in people giving last.
These two poor people obviously live with an Abundance Mentality. "There is plenty here!" said the homeless man in the second video, ignoring the fact the he may need the pizza to quench his hunger later on. But for him sharing what he had with another man, who seemed to suffer from the same hunger, was the single most important thing in that moment.
I guess poor people are often the ones whose hearts have not been spoiled by the excesses of material things that many times they still often find in their hearts compassion for others. We, on the other hand, often have too many material things that many times we find it hard to find compassion under the excesses that wealth creates in our life.
Lent, I hope, is journey when we can clean up the "junks" in our life and hopefully find, residing at the very heart of our life, God and His Love for all. And we can achieve that by sharing with others the richness that we have received. Only then that we can proclaim once again that God is the Lord of the universe and the Lord of our life.

Q: How can you check if a series$ ∑_1^{\infty} x^{2}e^{−nx}$ is convergent when $ x \in [0,+∞)$? How can you check if a series $$∑_1^{\infty} x^2e^{−nx}$$ is convergent when $x$ belongs to $[0,∞)$ step by step? Can D'Alembert's theorem be used? Could someone write it step by step?

A: For $x=0$ we have $\sum _{k=1}^N  x^2 e^{-kx} = 0$ for every $N$, so the series converges (to $0$). Otherwise, as pointed out in the comments, we have
$$ \sum x^2 e^{-nx} = x^2 \sum e^{-nx} = x^2 \sum \left ( e^{-x} \right )^n. $$
This series converges if and only if the geometric series $\sum (e^{-x})^n$ converges. This occurs if and only if $e^{-x}< 1$ (i.e $x>0$).

Dr Mark Sumner, from the School of Design, provided expert advice for the project, which was first performed at the Young Vic, London (11th May to the 6th June 2015). It proved so popular with audiences that it was extended by a week.
The show is now on a UK tour and will be arriving in Manchester this December.
Understanding the ethics of the fashion industry and the distribution of responsibility between workers, factory owners, brands and ultimately consumers is complex and difficult to map, even for experts that have been working in the industry for many years.
However, the World Factory unpicks the issues of responsibility and ethics by inviting the audience to take on the role of managing a factory in an engaging, exciting and thought provoking example of theatre game playing.
Anyone who is interested in learning more about the fashion and clothing industry and wants to explore some of the realities of the decisions that are taken by the industry to feed the Western world's insatiable desire for more clothing, should book a ticket and experience the World Factory performance.
The World Factory tickets for the Manchester performances can be found here.

"Virtual" colonoscopy or CT colonography is relatively new, constructing a 3D image of the colon by using an X-ray CT scan. Many people opt for it because unlike a traditional colonoscopy it is noninvasive, but is it accurate?
248 consecutive patients who were at increased risk of developing colon cancer were first checked by a virtual colonoscopy, and then double-checked by the traditional colonoscopy. Two different reviewers checked all of the results independently. 8 Large polyps were missed by the virtual colonoscopy and picked up by the traditional colonoscopy. The virtual colonoscopy missed many flat, non-stalked polyps. There were a large number of false positives with virtual colonoscopy. The study is published in the July 2004 issue of Gastroenterology.
A study of 1423 middle-aged Finnish men supports the abundant epidemiological evidence that highly elevated blood levels of uric acid are predictor of death from cardiovascular disease. The men were free of cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes at the start of the study and the men were followed for an average of almost 12 years. Those men with a serum uric acid level in the top third of all men had a 2.5 fold higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than men with levels in the lower third. If risk factors for cardiovascular disease and variables for gout were factored in the risk for these men rose to 3.73 fold. Factoring in adjustments for metabolic syndrome (a prelude to diabetes) increased their risk to 4.77 fold greater than men in the lowest third of uric acid levels. Serum uric acid levels are a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease mortality in healthy middle-aged men. The study is published in the July 26th issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
In a 21-day study patients with mild seasonal airborne allergies were treated with a concentration of Perilla frutescens vs. placebo, patients on Perilla had significant decreases in the intensity of the following symptoms - itchy nose, watery eyes, itchy eyes and total symptoms. The release of immune system chemicals and allergy-associated cells was also greatly reduced including fewer neutrophils and eosinophils. There were no side effects from the Perilla. The study is published in the July 2004 issue of the journal of Experimental Biology and Medicine.
In a study of 9 different ingredients in Perilla frutescens, 8 had a strong ability to inhibit inflammation and the 9th strongly inhibited tumor growth in a variety of ways. Five of the compounds strongly inhibited the Epstein Barr virus. The study is published in the January 2004 issue of the journal Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry.
In mice prone to dust mite allergen induced asthma, supplementing with Perilla frutescens effectively blocked the allergic response and associated asthma attacks. The Perilla decreased the release of allergy-associated chemicals and inflammatory chemicals such as cytokines, chemokines and allergiy-specific antibodies in the mice airways and lungs. The study appears in the June 2004 issue of the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy.


In this ambitious work David T. Byrne analyzes the ideas that informed Ronald Reagan's political philosophy and policies. Rather than appraising Reagan's personal and emotional life, Byrne's intellectual biography goes one step further; it establishes a rationale for the former president's motives, discussing how thinkers such as Plato and Adam Smith influenced him. Byrne points to three historical forces that shaped Reagan's political philosophy: Christian values, particularly the concept of a universal kingdom of God; America's firm belief in freedom as the greatest political value and its aversion to strong centralized government; and the appeasement era of World War II, which stimulated Reagan's aggressive and confrontational foreign policy.
Byrne's account of the fortieth president augments previous work on Reagan with a new model for understanding him. Byrne shows how Reagan took conservatism and the Republican Party in a new direction, departing from the traditional conservatism of Edmund Burke and Russell Kirk. His desire to spread a "Kingdom of Freedom" both at home and abroad changed America's political landscape forever and inspired a new conservatism that persists to this day.
David T. Byrne is an adjunct professor of history at California Baptist University and Santa Monica College. He contributes to the blogs The American Thinker and Crisis: A Voice for the Faithful Catholic Laity.

911 board to provide GPS capability
Sharon Woods Harris
The Tazewell County 911 Board is providing the answer to the Tazewell County Sheriff's Merit Commission's request for the installation of GPS units on all Tazewell County Sheriff's Department squad cars.
The commission's request was a result of the case of Tazewell County Sheriff's Department Deputy Jeffrey Bass in December 2008. The sheriff's department attached a GPS to Bass' vehicle because of accusations that he was not on duty when he should have been. The GPS unit placed him behind a barn on 14th Street in rural Pekin for several hours at a time when he was supposed to be on duty.
The 911 board is making it possible for all county vehicles and municipal vehicles to be equipped with the potentially life-saving equipment.
"This system will work for any agency in the county," said 911 Board Director Jeff Phillips. "The only thing they will need to do is buy the GPS receiver, which run from about $40 to $600, depending on what bells and whistles."
Phillips said the new system will allow dispatchers to see the exact location of all cars so that dispatchers can send the closest emergency responders. The system also will allow dispatchers to know exactly where an officer is if the officer is injured or needs assistance.
The total cost of the system to the 911 board is $17, 025. Phillips said the board was able to save some money on the system because of the number of agencies that will use the service. The funding for the system comes from the 911 surcharge on every phone in the county.
So far Pekin, East Peoria, Morton and Washington have expressed an interest in hooking up to the system.
Nick Graff, 911 Board chairman, said the new system will track the movements of vehicles equipped with the system in real time. In the case that an officer or civilian is on a cell phone, the system triangulates the call to the closest area. The system also allows departments to share information on cases with all other agencies in the county — such as when they are searching for a suspect.
Graff said this is the first major update to the 911 system since 1992.
Graff said he did not know when the system will be fully operational, but it is expected to be completed in 2010.
Pekin Interim Police Chief Ted Miller said the new system will offer a tremendous benefit to the city because it will show in real time the location of all cars available in every area of the city.
Miller said one of the amenities available to municipalities that Pekin will benefit from is the access to records from all the agencies that join.
"The system will blend a lot of different databases," said Miller. "That is quite a time savings to us."
