The Canon EOS 1100D (called Canon T3 in some regions) and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 are two digital cameras that were revealed to the public, respectively, in February 2011 and June 2012. The 1100D is a DSLR, while the RX100 is a fixed lens compact. The cameras are based on an APS-C (1100D) and an one-inch (RX100) sensor. The Canon has a resolution of 12.2 megapixels, whereas the Sony provides 20 MP. Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their sensors, their features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
An illustration of the physical size and weight of the Canon 1100D and the Sony RX100 is provided in the side-by-side display below. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three consecutive perspectives from the front, the top, and the back are available. All width, height and depth dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Sony RX100 is considerably smaller (54 percent) than the Canon 1100D. In this context, it is worth noting that neither the 1100D nor the RX100 are weather-sealed.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete and possibly misleading, as the RX100 has a lens built in, whereas the 1100D is an interchangeable lens camera that requires a separate lens. Attaching the latter will add extra weight and bulk to the setup. You can compare the optics available for the 1100D and their specifications in the Canon EF Lens Catalog.
Concerning battery life, the 1100D gets 700 shots out of its LP-E10 battery, while the RX100 can take 330 images on a single charge of its NP-BX1 power pack. The power pack in the RX100 can be charged via the USB port, which can be very convenient when travelling.
Of the two cameras under consideration, the Canon 1100D features an APS-C sensor and the Sony RX100 an one-inch sensor. The sensor area in the RX100 is 64 percent smaller. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have a format factor of, respectively, 1.6 and 2.7. Both cameras have a native aspect ratio (sensor width to sensor height) of 3:2.
Despite having a smaller sensor, the RX100 offers a higher resolution of 20 megapixels, compared with 12.2 MP of the 1100D. This megapixels advantage comes at the cost of a higher pixel density and a smaller size of the individual pixel (with a pixel pitch of 2.41μm versus 5.15μm for the 1100D). However, it should be noted that the RX100 is a somewhat more recent model (by 1 year and 3 months) than the 1100D, and its sensor might have benefitted from technological advances during this time that partly offset its pixel-size disadvantage.
The Canon EOS 1100D has a native sensitivity range from ISO 100 to ISO 6400 The corresponding ISO settings for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 are ISO 100 to ISO 6400, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 100-25600..
Since 2007, DXO Mark has published sensor performance measurements that have been derived using a consistent methodology. This service assesses and scores the color depth ("DXO Portrait"), dynamic range ("DXO Landscape"), and low-light sensitivity ("DXO Sports") of camera sensors, and also publishes an overall camera score. Of the two cameras under consideration, the RX100 has a markedly higher DXO score than the 1100D (overall score 4 points higher), which will translate into better image quality. The advantage is based on 0.7 bits higher color depth, 1.4 EV in additional dynamic range, and 1 stops of reduced low light sensitivity. The adjacent table reports on the physical sensor characteristics and the outcomes of the DXO sensor quality tests for a sample of comparator-cameras.
Many modern cameras are not only capable of taking still images, but also of capturing video footage. Both cameras under consideration are equipped with sensors that have a sufficiently high read-out speed for moving images, but the RX100 provides a better video resolution than the 1100D. It can shoot movie footage at 1080/60p, while the Canon is limited to 720/30p.
Apart from body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. For example, the 1100D has an optical viewfinder, which can be very useful when shooting in bright sunlight. In contrast, the RX100 relies on live view and the rear LCD for framing. The adjacent table lists some of the other core features of the Canon 1100D and Sony RX100 along with similar information for a selection of comparators.
The 1100D writes its imaging data to SDXC cards, while the RX100 uses SDXC or Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.
For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Canon EOS 1100D and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.
It is notable that the 1100D has a hotshoe, while the RX100 does not. This socket makes it possible to easily attach optional accessories, such as an external flash gun.
Both the 1100D and the RX100 have been discontinued, but can regularly be found used on eBay. The 1100D was replaced by the Canon 1200D, while the RX100 was followed by the Sony RX100 II. Further information on the two cameras, as well as related accessories, can be found on the official Canon and Sony websites.
So how do things add up? Which of the two cameras – the Canon 1100D or the Sony RX100 – has the upper hand? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
Longer lasting: Can take more shots (700 versus 330) on a single battery charge.
More heavily discounted: Has been on the market for longer (launched in February 2011).
More detail: Has more megapixels (20 vs 12.2MP), which boosts linear resolution by 28%.
More modern: Was introduced somewhat (1 year and 3 months) more recently.
If the count of relative strengths (bullet points above) is taken as a measure, the RX100 is the clear winner of the contest (12 : 7 points). However, the relative importance of the various individual camera aspects will vary according to personal preferences and needs, so that you might like to apply corresponding weights to the particular features before making a decision on a new camera.
Do the specifications of the Canon 1100D and the Sony RX100 place the cameras among the top in their class? Find out in the latest Best DSLR Camera and Best Travel-Zoom Camera listings.
In any case, while the specs-based evaluation of cameras can be instructive in revealing their potential as photographic tools, it remains incomplete and does no justice, for example, to the way the 1100D or the RX100 perform in practice. User reviews that are available, for instance, at amazon can sometimes shed light on these issues, but such feedback is all too often partial, inconsistent, and inaccurate.
Care should be taken when interpreting the review scores above, though. The ratings are only valid when referring to cameras in the same category and of the same age. Hence, a score should always be seen in the context of the camera's market launch date and its price, and rating-comparisons among cameras that span long time periods or concern very differently equipped models make little sense. Also, please note that some of the review sites have changed their methodology and reporting over time.

C-Notes
Jorma Kaukonen: Virtuoso At-Large
By Pete Kotz on Thu, Feb 22, 2007 at 12:26 pm
Jorma Kaukonen is at the House of Blues March 1
Cleveland nightlife can be totally schizophrenic. Some weeks it seems like all the cool bands are gigging anywhere but here. And then there's weeks when our concert calendar resembles that of San Francisco or Boston. Luckily, the week of March 1 to is packed full of wicked-sweet shows: Wolfmother, TV on the Radio, the Box Tops, Stinking Lizaveta, and so much more. But this also means we don't have room in our Nightwatch section to cover all the good shows. Here, I'm thinking of Jorma Kaukonen's solo engagement at the House of Blues on Thursday, March 1. Not since the late '60s have acoustic guitar virtuosos been so popular. This obviously has to do with the indie world's recent obsession with folk music, classic psychedelia, and all things John Fahey. In addition to such young guns as the brilliant Jack Rose, Ben Chasny, and Stephan Basho-Junghans, we're seeing increased activity from their forefathers. Richard Thompson recently played the Kent Stage, and Martin Carthy, one of Brit-folk's true legends, just played Nighttown. And now there's Kaukonen. Jorma is rarely mentioned in the same sentence as Fahey and company. However, as the guitar player for Jefferson Airplane and later Hot Tuna, Kaukonen was arguably the first axeman anywhere to incorporate the intricate finger-picking of Fahey -- itself an avant-mix of classical, folk, and Indian raga -- into the Airplane's brand of West Coast pop, folk rock, and acid rock. When it comes to psych-rock guitar, Kaukonen is just as imitated as Hendrix and Clapton. Nowadays, in addition to regularly playing acoustic dates across the country, Kaukonen heads up the Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp in Pomeroy, Ohio. So yeah, as that title implies, Kaukonen still gets his hippie on. Just check out the exotic rugs and tie-dye! — Justin F. Farrar

Q: Suitable regression method Linear, mixed or non linear I have the below data related to a clinical study. I would like to understand if there is a correlation in prescribing the prescription per Genral practioner. In the data there are 3 GP's handling 14 patients GP 1 handled 5 patients, GP 2 handled 4 patients and GP 3. I want to know if the patients have strong or weak correlation in terms of having similar number of prescriptions prescribed by their GP. To understand the correlation by group what is the suitable method I can apply? Thank you for your help.
GP_Id Pat_Id    Total_prescribed_prescriptions
1   a   1
1   b   2
1   c   4
1   d   1
1   e   2
2   f   7
2   g   2
2   h   1
2   i   7
3   j   8
3   k   9
3   l   4
3   m   6
3   n   4

A: The dataset is quite small so anything we find here should be treated cautiously.
The first thing I would do here is to plot the data:
library(ggplot2)
GP <- c(1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3)
presc <- c(1,2,4,1,2,7,2,1,7,8,9,4,6,4)
dt <- data.frame(GP = as.factor(GP), presc)
ggplot(dt, aes(y = presc, x = GP, color = GP)) + geom_boxplot()

From this we can see there is clear evidence that GP3 issues more prescriptions that GP1. There is also some evidence that GP2 issues more prescriptions that GP1, and a little less evidence that GP3 issues more prescriptions than GP2
We could also fit a regression model. Since the data are counts, this would be a generalised linear model with a poisson family distribution.
> summary(glm(presc ~ GP, data = dt, family = poisson))

Coefficients:
            Estimate Std. Error z value Pr(>|z|)
(Intercept)   0.6931     0.3162   2.192  0.02839 *
GP2           0.7538     0.3985   1.891  0.05857 .
GP3           1.1314     0.3637   3.111  0.00186 **

This concurs with our visual findings: There is strong evidence that GP3 issues more prescriptions that GP1, and moderate evidence that GP2 issues more prescriptions that GP1.
Again, I would recommend using caution with these findings due to the small sample size.

Only three Oink Games left in the review queue — Troika, Dungeon of Mandom VIII, and the one that started it all, for me, Deep Sea Adventure. I should probably try to find Troll at some point but that seems difficult. Who knows? It's possible. Maybe they'll have more weird games at Gen Con that I can pick up and keep this train running forever.
Either way, in Troika, you have heard the rumor of a planet with valuable gems and sought after its treasure. Unfortunately, you've arrived to find that not only did you have severe engine trouble, but you are not the first person to have heard this rumor; it's crawling with explorers looking to get rich (which, to be fair, so are you). Weirdly, you experienced colossal engine trouble on the way to this planet, but even more strangely, so did everyone else. As luck would have it, these precious gems can also be used as fuel, even though it breaks your heart to do so. Can you gather enough gems to get off this rock and still get rich?
Player Count Differences
Pros, Mehs, Cons
Setup is super simple. There's a bunch of tiles:
There are three tiles numbered 1 – 15, with one exception: there are seven 7 tiles.
There are some scoring tokens because what would an Oink be without a way to extend a short game over multiple rounds? Set them aside:
And that's kind of … it. Shuffle the tiles and spread them out over the play area. If you're playing with two players, remove 10 tiles without looking at them. In either case, flip one tile over and have each player take one face-down tile and you're ready to start!
The game of Troika is pretty straightforward. On your turn, you do the following:
Flip a tile face-up.
Take a face-up tile, take a face-down tile, or return a tile.
You may do any one of those three actions, and I'll explain each of them.
Taking a face-up tile is pretty simple. You just take it and add it face-up to your Container. No sweat, no limit, no problem.
Taking a face-down tile is a bit more complicated. You take it and add it to your hand, but you can only have three tiles in your hand. If you have three already, you cannot perform this action.
Returning a tile is also pretty straightforward. You just … put a face-up tile back into the center (face-up), or put a face-down tile back into the center (face-down). There's not really much more to it than that.
Your goal is to make at least one set of fuel:
Which is any set of three tokens that have the same number. You also want to make gems:
Which are three-tile straights. When the round ends, any tiles that are not included in these triads are considered "trash".
After you take your turn, if the following conditions are true:
You have five face-up tiles in your Container;
You have one complete fuel triad;
You have zero trash between your Hand and Container;
You may say "Troika!" to end your participation in the round. You'll gain 5 bonus points if you're the first one to do so, but even if you're not, you will not take any more turns. Uh, just as a side note, if you say "Troika!" and you do not meet those three conditions, you lose instantly. Bummer.
Either way, play continues until either all players have said "Troika!" except for one, or when the last tile is flipped. Once you've done that, you score.
So, scoring is a bit weird.
If you do not have a complete fuel triad, you score 0 points. You were stranded because you forgot to get fuel! Sad times.
Otherwise, each gem triad scores the rightmost digit of the highest value in the triad. So, 7-8-9 is worth 9 points, 12-13-14 is worth 4 points, and 8-9-10 is worth … 0 points. Don't do that.
The player with the most points wins! If you'd like to, you can track "score" between rounds using the tried-and-true Oink method seen in Maskmen and Startups — the Scoring Tokens! Give the +2 to the highest scoring player, the +1 to the second-highest scoring player, and the -1 to the lowest scoring player. After three rounds, the player with the most points in Scoring Tokens wins!
The main difference at higher player counts is resource scarcity — as you play with 5 – 6 players, a score that wouldn't have even won a 3- or 4-player game is now thoroughly unattainable. Your best bet is going to be to try to Troika out before it gets too hairy, as you won't really be able to expect a lot of the game state to stay consistent between turns and it might get away from you. It's pretty similar to Maskmen in that regard, honestly.
I'd probably say the sweet spot for Troika (for me) is 3 or 4. I tend to like games where I feel like I have a bit more control over the outcome, and I don't get that quite as much at higher player counts.
Don't forget the essentials. Yes, getting lots of points is nice, but you need at least one set of fuel if you're going to get off of that rock. By the same logic, you should also not hoard fuel; you really only need one set, so once you've got that, focus on getting gems and scoring points. That's not to say you should never take two fuel sets (it might be worth it to avoid taking trash), just that you only need one and shouldn't burden yourself with more than that. I mean, if you want extra fuel, live your truth. It's just not going to score you literally any points or push you closer to winning.
Don't be afraid to take something someone else needs. You can always return it before the round ends, or worst case it's -1 point to completely ruin someone's fuel strategy. If you see a player taking three of a face-up tile, help yourself to one. It's mean, but, I mean, you're not here to make friends, probably. You're here to make money.
Keep at least one extra tile in your hand. Hidden information is really powerful in this game; it makes you a lot harder to predict. That's why you can only hold three tiles in hand at a time (and why you need to have a bunch of face-up tiles to declare Troika).
You want the 7 – 8 – 9 combo. It's worth the most points, so go for it. 6 – 7 – 8 and 5 – 6 – 7 aren't too bad, either, and since the 7 is abundant it's easy to be somewhat flexible around which end of that combo you shoot for. 9's will be tough to come by, though.
It's easy to make fuel from 7's; just make sure everyone else isn't doing that. There are seven 7's in the game, easily enough for fuel for two people. That said, they're also usually part of some very high-scoring gem combos, so you're going to see a lot of contention around those. Depending on what you're going for, it may be worth just letting other players fight over them and leaving them alone, or you might find it valuable to get a couple and try to make two sets of gem combos with them (and some fuel).
Other good fuel sources: 1's, 10's, 11's. These are the lowest-scoring end tiles in the game, so players typically don't go for them. While they're a decent start, they're not like, the tiles you play to win a game. I'll often see them left in the center by players; I mean, who's honestly going to fight you for the worst tiles in the game? Only someone with the same idea.
Never take 10 within a gem combo. 8 – 9 – 10 scores … 0 points. Don't do that to yourself.
Watch when you Troika. If you Troika too early (or as soon as you can), especially at low player counts, you run the pretty significant risk that your opponents will both run out the round and run up their scores and leave you high and dry. It's a much better idea, in my opinion, at higher player counts, given the increased contention, but watch out at about three players. You should wait until there are only a few tiles left, for maximum effect. Just make sure nobody beats you to it, at that point!
PROS, MEHS, AND CONS
Cool theme. You're collecting fancy space rocks and deciding whether you want to sell them for money or burn them for fuel! It's fun.
Great art style. The tokens are super colorful and I love the subtle color progression! Again, not terribly surprising from Oink — they've always been on point when it comes to game art.
Easy to learn. The game itself is pretty simple and straightforward, even I can't always say the same about the rulebook.
Super portable. A staple for Oinks, but I really appreciate it nonetheless. I have enough now that I can just kind of throw them all into a bag / backpack and have a super awesome (and astonishingly variable) game day pretty much anywhere. It's an aesthetic schtick that I've really come to appreciate — small boxes, fun and solidly replayable games.
The box art is very nice. I really, really like the blue gradient. It's not their usual, but it's quite striking.
MEHS
The box isn't that full, so the tiles can be weird to put back. There's not really an insert (honestly rather common for Oinks), but it's not a full enough box to keep the tiles really in any semblance of order. They just kinda bounce around and stuff, which can be a bit of a problem, especially since the tiles are rather thin. I worry about them.
The actual theme of the game doesn't really come out in any pieces except for the scoring tokens. Like, this could be a fishing game, honestly, and still basically use the same pieces. For Oink (which is normally super all up on theme) this is a weirdly themeless game. Not a huge problem, but definitely a meh, when I think about it.
It's weird that the tiles are thin and the scoring tokens aren't. I wish the tiles were thicker — it'd give the game more of a table presence, in my opinion, but, oh well.
Rulebook's a bit hard to follow. This has also been a common experience with Oink games, but it's a challenge learning any of them for the first time since the rulebooks tend to be a bit on the vague / confusing side. Just something to watch out for.
Fairly random. I mean, it's sort of meant to be, because it's so light, but you are kind of just flipping over tiles and deciding which one you want to take. It's a bit hard to have an overarching strategy (I tend to play tactically), and that might be frustrating for players in your group.
OVERALL: 7.5 / 10
Honestly, at this point I just kind of stack-rank the Oinks that I play, and this one is nicely situated with its peer The Pyramid's Deadline. Both have some randomness issues that I can occasionally find frustrating, but honestly, both are super short, super light, and super simple games with a bit of a press-your-luck element. I think Troika is the simpler of the two, since it has a much more straightforward turn ordering, scoring, and play concept, but it does have that rather weird scoring thing about the rightmost digit. I think this one might be more of a family game since you don't need to have a super strong grasp on the strategy of it, and honestly, I think that's fine. Some basic math is required, but even then you could just say "you need three of the same color" and you've got half of the rules down pat. Anyways, I think Troika is a lot of fun, and if you're looking for another solid game from Oink, I think this doesn't disappoint!

No. 19: the usual, then canteens, books, enviro-stuff, Doris Day, grips, and HILLYBIKE details
If you've been reading the BLAHG recently you know I've been talking about race, racism in bicycles, distasteful topics like that. It's not going well. I am/and Rivendell is trying to do a helpful thing, but it's a all hornets nests and land mines out there.
There is a white history that led to white privilege and all the stuff that goes with that--being the color that never gets looked at with suspicion when I go into a store; knowing that skinheads won't beat me up just because I'm not their color, because I am; BEING the same color as slave owners and KKK members and modern Alt-RIghts. Yes, we get Jimmy Carter and Albert Schweitzer out of the deal, too, but Hitler was white, too.
Overall there's a lousy history of black-white relations that is white doing. (The Hillybike stuff is way down at the bottom, by the way--if you'd rather skip this!)
Anyway, I am muddling and stressing, fouling up, but reminding myself that compared to what black people have had to put up with, being doubted or misunderstood and scolded is like being fed ice cream on a mattress.
I am all for reparations of all kinds. The only reparations WE can offer are price reparations. Deals. We've had three recipients. If we had a flood of, well, black people taking advantage of that, we'd have to reevaluate or go out of business, but at the current rate, no problem. Speak up, if you're reading this, have bought from us before, are buying for yourself, and, uh, qualify.
Somebody will object to my use of "reparations" there, saying it cheapens the usual use. White people will wonder why they should pay more, and ask if that means Oprah gets a deal, and may on principle shop someplace else, like they're being penalized; black people may take price reparations as an insult--to their ability to pay, or the idea that this makes up for anything.
That's not the intent, none of that.
Here is where I try to sell you some Books About Black People You'd Have Heard Of If They Were White. I've talked about two of the books before, but now we actually have them, and another.
They're graphic, books, like comic books. They go down fast and sink in, and they're all good, fun to read, and you'll turn the pages in a blur. If you're white you'll like them and will want your children to read them, or be read them; and if you're black--same thing. They're people stories, and you might not pop into them at your local bookstore.
We'll never make money (or die trying) on book sales, but these are good books and we want to make it easy to get them. We're also not trying to compete with your local book store, but it probably doesn't have these books. We'll have them temporarily. If we sell out, we'll reorder. When we've sold 50 of any one title, we'll cut it from the list but hope you get it somewhere else.
These will be up on the site by Friday Noon.

--------------end of racial section, start of Canteen section--------------
We now sell clean canteens. Not Kleen Kanteens. Kleen Kanteens are excellent (many of us have them, and they're not plastic). The thing-of-it-IS, though: A KANteen isn't a CANteen, and we just got in some CANteens.
Order early if you want to. We expect to have spotty inventory, and this is a discontinued model (a shame--it's the grooviest one they have). We'll try to get more, but we'll have them for, I'd guess, at least a week starting May 15. Seventy-two minus the 10 or so John takes is 62 minus the 6 or so RIV employees will take leaves 56 minus the 10 or so we'll sell to walk-in customers this coming weekend leaves 46. Maybe I'm overestimating their popularity. Maybe you can wait a month.
They're Laken brand, aluminum, made in Spain, and not readily available in the U.S. We brought in 72 of them. They're the classic "flounder-eye" style canteens, with a belly and a back and the eye-spout upjutting from the back in the classic flounder-'clopes spigot proven in war after war. Here's mountain guide will on a recent (today's) guided trip with customer Taylor:
I know what you're thinking: Will's sporting a Spooner! Harry has eighty of them and you can expect to see more of them in our images. Here's something about them.
This one was on sale.
If you want to get hooked on Aloha shirts, listen to this podcast.
I think it makes too bigga deal about pocket pattern matching, but that's just me. It's like lumberjack shirts. Plaid-matching them looks weird, not classy. It looks like you're a tech millionaire from SF or Brooklyn who's just discovered outdoorsy clothes.
It's a leap to get your first Aloha shirt. Friends and family will think you've changed, that something's been going on with you that they haven't been privy to. It comes off as loving concern.
The canteens are a natural complement. It was a hard ride up that ridge, and Will got thirsty:
These Laken Spanish clean canteens will stay clean because they aren't in the Zone of Flung Trail Crap, as are trad water bottles and Kleen Kanteens that don't stay clean.
They come with a fabric cover which can be wetted and allowed to evaporate. The old "desert water bag evaporative cooling science principle." And good gracious, they have a shoulder strap, too. They could use a cross strap to hold the back when you ride. It is easy to make one with some combination of webbing, parachute cord, knots, sewing, and/or common pack hardware that REI sales.
Imagine riding with your pals. Stopping at a hilltop (it's a Hillybike ride). While they're sucking water out of a dust cylinder, you're cowboying up with a genuine Spanish flounder-'clopse canteen.
You might expects a genuine Spanish canteen that came to us from Spain because there is no U.S. distributor, to cost you $50. It should. Ours are $30. The next batch will cost $35. Sorry, but Spanish stuff doesn't come cheap.
We got as packing material (multi-use handoff!) this:
He got some Campy parts, and wanted to re-use the foam. Re-use, good! But Campy should stop doing this.
It's hard to be consistently environmentally good. If you're conscientious and aim for complete goodness in everything, you'll go naked and eat wild mushrooms. But--you have to pick some areas to nail or at least improve, and hope enough other people or businesses are watching out for some you're ignoring.
Doris Day died a few days ago. I know there were Doris Day aficionados, but she was always one of the old lady actresses to me, so I was never into her, though everybody in the western world knew who she was.
Will's grandfather was a pilot, did some heroic refugee-saving flights during the Vietnam war or a bit after it, and was a technical director (and stunt pilot) for Hollywood in the mid-last century. Here he is with D-Day:
That's from the movie, Julie. Will and I look at the photo and try to guess the camera, or at least the format. It's a great photo, don't you think? The guy on the right is Will's grampa.
Will says Linda Ronstadt lives a few blocks from him. In a fancier neighborhood, but still. On that note, Rita Moreno once lived next door to my brother-in-law and borrowed a shovel from him--it was about 11 years ago.
Here's nothing to copy, but just experimenting with homemade grips. This is on a Billie Bar on a Boots I've been riding lately:
It's one of the new Hunt-Wilde grips with half a grippy rubbery grip on it, then wrapped with cloth tape (to be shellacked), and with ballcock washers to raise your hand above the brake lever clamp and to stop forward sliding, not that it happens a lot, but it feels good, that washer:
------ HILLYBIKE SECTION----
Thirty percent of you know that we've been working on mountain bikes minus the gonzo, which we're calling Hillybikes. They're mountain bikes not on steroids. They're for travel over rough terrain, and fun, not for competition, stunts, or winning battles with nature.
They lack technology borrowed from motor vehicles, and yet they are our most advanced bicycle designs yet. Like a lot of our models, maybe all of them, they're anachronisms.
The point isn't to be different. The point is to make best-riding, easiest-riding trail bikes we can possibly make, without any concerns for trends or familiarity. Whatever you think they might lack in comfort or safety—because they're unsuspended—is all in your head, and is made up for in design. They all have long wheelbases, allow high handlebars, and fit tires to about 2.8-inches, which you can and should ride soft. After that, it's all skill and judgment and walking. These bikes track straight over horrible ground and breakneck speed, but you're still the commander.
A year ago we'd planned to make one version, the Gus Boots-Willsen. We've had eight to ten prototypes, have ridden them nearly daily for months, and have added minor refinements for the ones you'll get. Small things, but we're about small things.
But the Boots is overbuilt for light riders carrying light loads. So we added a lighter version (with a different name, which you'll soon know) for riders up to 165lbs, and non-camping loads. They have lighter tubes and use quill stems and threaded headsets (the Boots has stronger tubes and is threadless). Those things make sense in 2019 on mountainISH bikes. It's not us selling souls to devils.
So as not to confuse, these lighter ones will come in sizes 1cm smaller than the Boots sizes (59cm, not 60…56cm, not 57….53 instead of 54, and 50, not 51). Those are the sizes, but sizing on these bikes—the normal or the lightie—is different from what you're used to, so we'll reduce them all to S, M, L, XL, and give size recommendations based on our extensive experience.
What you get, either way: Frame, fork, headset.
What you don't get that we usually supply with frames, and why you don't get 'em with these:
Seat posts: All these bikes take 26.8 posts. Usually we supply a Taiwan Nitto knock-off. This time, we want you to buy a genuine Nitto Frog (2-bolt) post (26.8mm). It's the best seat post in the world, and fitting for this bike. We'll stock them, and they're close to $118. Ouch is right, but you can get a non-Nitto post for $30.
Bottom Bracket: The crank you use determines the bottom bracket you need. A fashionable single-ring crank uses a shorter spindle than a double or triple, and we're not going to guess or force you. You pick the crank, we'll tell you which BB to get (if it's one of ours).
Colors: We've narrowed it to a blue and a green). Each type and size will come in both.
Model names:
The Gus Boots-Willsen is simply the Gus Boots-Willsen, although we shorten it to Gus and Boots a lot. It's our standard-weight bike, good for allweights above 166lbs. Here's the decal for it, on a sample bike we've been riding—
The lighter version for flyweights has two names (one on each side of the downtube), because we liked both names and couldn't decide. They are
Susie W. Longbolts and Wolbis Slugstone
Here's the artwork for that decal:
Remember, you get both names, so refer to it as you like.
Both names are anagrams of Gus Boots-Willsen. We were going to offer two fully named versions, but that got too complicated, and would have made you pick between boy and girl. This way—with Susie W. Longbolts) on the left side of the downtube and Wolbis Slugstone on the right, you get both and there's no decision. This came after long, hard thinking, all the while knowing we'll lose some customers for it. Be non-bimarily bold.
Construction: Lugged seat tube, fillet-brazed main joints. Tubular tigged fork crown. Investment cast head tube reinforcing rings. We might be forgetting something else, but the point we want to drive home is that these frames are expensive to make, and priced to reflect that. The shop that makes them can make fewer than two frames per day.
This is how tiny, poor, cash-strapped us can do these incredible groovy things without shooting ourselves in the crotch. We do the bikes, we pre-sell enough to pay for a good part of the shipment, and you wait some and get a good deal. Que sera, sera.
----------- movie below. Some Hillybikes on a hill. The guy who is not Will wearing a hat, is Taylor-from-Utah, who was out here and wanted to tag along when Will and I went out for some canteen shots. He agreed to be the city slicker in the canteen photo, and proved to be buff on this trail. I've made it up twice in 85 tries, and he got it on his first try. He makes it look easy. It is really, really hard.

Normally, git-annex does not fully trust its stored location tracking information. When removing content, it will directly check that other repositories have enough copies.
Generally that explicit checking is a good idea. Consider that the current location tracking information for a remote may not yet have propagated out. Or, a remote may have suffered a catastrophic loss of data, or itself been lost.
There is still some trust involved here. A semitrusted repository is depended on to retain a copy of the file content; possibly the only copy.
An untrusted repository is not trusted to retain data at all. Git-annex will retain sufficient copies of data elsewhere.
This is a good choice for eg, portable drives that could get lost. Or, if a disk is known to be dying, you can set it to untrusted and let git annex fsck warn about data that needs to be copied off it.
To configure a repository as untrusted, use the git-annex untrust command.
Sometimes, you may have reasons to fully trust the location tracking information for a repository. For example, it may be an offline archival drive, from which you rarely or never remove content. Deciding when it makes sense to trust the tracking info is up to you.
One way to handle this is just to use --force when a command cannot access a remote you trust. Or to use --trust to specify a repository to trust temporarily.
To configure a repository as fully and permanently trusted, use the git-annex-trust command.
This is used to indicate that you have no trust that the repository exists at all. It's appropriate to use when a drive has been lost, or a directory irretrievably deleted. It will make git-annex avoid even showing the repository as a place where data might still reside.
To configure a repository as dead and lost, use the git-annex-dead command.
Is it possible to set a default trust per host (e.g. in ~/.gitconfig)?
I have one server that does its own backups, and a client that I'd like to keep thin across multiple repositories.
You can use remote.<name>.annex-trustlevel as documented in the git-annex man page.


Attn West Ashley SC Bi-Lo shoppers. Get a gift for subscribing to the local paper today!
Coupon filled Sunday papers cost $2 in my city. When I started couponing I found out that our local paper ran a promotion allowing people to subscribe to the Sunday paper only and get a second paper for $1.50. I missed the boat on that one and thought I'd be forever doomed to spend gas money buying $4 worth of newspapers every Sunday.
On my trip to Bi-Lo today, a gentleman named Rico was selling weekend subscriptions (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and a free Monday paper during football season) for $13.80 a month. When I signed up I also got a $10 Bi-Lo gift card and a couple extra coupon inserts for my trouble. People that sign up for a week's worth of news home delivered $16.25 will get a $20 gift card. This deal is for people not currently subscribing to the Post and Courier magazine. It's a month to month subscription that automatically renews. If you cancel your subscription before six months has passed you'll be on the hook for the cost of the gift card. Rico's going to be at Sam Rittenberg store til 6 pm today. I'm starting a basic coupon class at church in a couple weeks and wanted to pass on the information. If you can't come to the store, you can contact him by phone at 1-859-368-3773.
Can't wait to have my Sunday paper waiting for me in the morning! Also, my daughter.
This new subscription also means that we'll get Business Review, Health and Science, Fashion and High Profile features in addition to the laundry list of features in the Sunday paper. My daughter's gonna love getting fashion trend information that she can turn into cute outfits she makes herself. We'll also have more newspaper that can be used as mulch in our garden or even to clean the windows.


The US and Japan have grounded their Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircrafts due to concerns over it battery safety. Recently, a battery-fault warning on an All Nippon Airways Dreamliner in Japan forced an emergency landing. A battery overheated and started a fire in an empty 787 operated by Japan Airlines (JAL) at Boston's Logan International Airport. The aviation authority of the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered that 787s in the United States be grounded until their batteries are shown to be safe, the first such action since 1979. United Airlines reported a problem in one of its six 787s with the wiring in the same area as the battery fire on JAL's airliner.
Although all air-planes have batteries, but the Dreamliner requires powerful batteries because Dreamliner's control systems are driven entirely by electrical signals in place of the hydraulic controls found in traditional generations of jets. So, Boeing depends in part on lithium-ion batteries, which provide quick and powerful charges. Designers needed something which is light in weight and at the same time gives high power output. So, they opted for Lithium-ion technology batteries which have an unusually high energy density, which means the units can be smaller and thus lighter for a given amount of power than traditional batteries.
Lithium-ion technology is the same technology that we see in in the batteries of most modern smartphones and laptop computers, where the demands are rather similar, but on a much smaller scale.
Another big advantage of using Lithium-ion units: These can be moulded into a variety of shapes and thus, provide flexibility to design and fit them in awkward places, which is a key concern when space is at a premium.
Airbus A380 superjumbo also uses the same technology in batteries but in the Drealiners these batteries are used on a much more extensive scale.
Lithium-ion batteries require more careful management than other types of battery due to the 'Thermal Runaway problem'.
We all remember the reports in Newspapers, TV Channels about batteries in laptops and mobile-phones smoking and catching fire.Thus, Lithium ion batteries can be prone to what is referred to as thermal runaway as a result of the very of chemistry involved. As a battery reaches a specific temperature, it can start self-heating with potentially disastrous consequences.
Also these batteries are Vulnerable to problems and leaks of battery fluid. When the problem of leakage starts, the fuel can in turn ignite automatically.

I'm Margaret Hoover.
Welcome to 'Firing Line.'
Women and girls are seizing control of their own lives like never before.
But what does Me Too and Time's Up mean for the most vulnerable?
'Firing Line with Margaret Hoover' is made possible by… Corporate funding is provided by…
Joining us is author and women's rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Ayaan was born in Somalia, raised in Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya before she escaped an arranged marriage and sought asylum in the Netherlands.
Before long, she found herself an outspoken member of the Dutch Parliament, particularly on issues of women's rights.
Then things took a tragic turn.
Her production of a film about Islam led to the murder of the film's director by radical Islamist extremists.
Serious threats towards her life exiled her to the United States.
But in America, Ayaan founded her own foundation and has worked at various think tanks, including the Hoover Institution, on whose board of overseers I sit.
Her focus is on protecting the rights of women and girls from honor violence, specifically against the practice of female genital mutilation.
Her criticisms mistakenly landed her on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of anti-Muslim extremists, which was removed from their website earlier this year.
Ayaan, thank you for joining me here on 'Firing Line.'
And it's truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to talk about a new report that your foundation has released, the AHA Foundation, which stands for your initials, Ayaan Hirsi Ali Foundation.
And it is entitled 'Why we hesitate to protect girls from female genital mutilation in the United States.'
Do we hesitate to protect girls from FGM in the United States?
Yes, we do hesitate to protect women and little girls from female genital mutilation.
I think we have to say what it is so that viewers understand that we are talking about the removal of the genitals, whole or part, of little girls.
And we hesitate to talk about it for a number of reasons.
I think talking about genitals, about sexuality, about ethnic minorities, about religious minorities, these are all issues in the United States of America that have become very thorny and have become politicized, and because of that, the rights of little girls are sacrificed in the altar of I don't know what to call it — political correctness.
Let's back up and talk about what it is.
You said it's the removal in part or in whole of parts of the vagina of small girls.
And I think you're right.
I think it is uncomfortable for women to discuss or for people to discuss because we're talking about genitalia.
It's not an easy topic to discuss, but you have unique moral authority to talk about this issue because you yourself were subjected to female genital mutilation when you were a young girl.
What happened to me as a little girl, as a 5-year-old, when I was being initiated into my own community, it was my grandmother who thought that my genitals had to be removed.
The language she used was not female genital mutilation.
The language she used was, 'We've got to purify these little girls.'
It was my sister and me.
And she had it done.
We were pinned down.
There was no anesthesia.
The inner labia were scraped off in my case, and a large part of the clitoris was cut off, and then what was left was sewn together, and that, believe it or not, is one of the milder forms.
There is a form, a type, that's called infibulation, where as much of the clitoris as possible is removed.
And as much of the labia as possible is removed.
And what's left is either sewn together or it's caused together, leaving two little holes for little girls to first urinate and then, when they get older, to menstruate.
And in order for the American public to understand, it's extremely important that the American public understands because we live in the age of immigration.
We have to talk about some of these cultural rituals that are valuable or seen as valuable in countries where people are coming from so that we can prevent it here.
You talk about the reason that it's done, to purify little girls, but, really, this is about patriarchy and power and sex.
It's about patriarchy, it's about power, it's about sex.
It's to diminish.
The intent is to control the libido of girls and women.
It's all about virginity.
You want to ensure as a family that when your daughter is married off at a certain age that her husband can say, 'Yes, she's a virgin.
I've got my goods sealed.'
Mm-hmm.
And so if we don't talk about virginity, if we don't talk about some of these cultural convictions around virginity, around modesty, around beliefs about the place of women, then I don't think it's going to be easy to eradicate this practice.
It's happening inside the United States of America.
The Center for Disease Control is telling us we estimate 513,000 women in the United States are either at risk or have been subjected to female genital mutilation.
I know that that's the tip of the iceberg, because we really aren't looking.
We're looking away.
It's the kind of problem everybody wants to avoid, but it's happening to little girls on our soil.
Well, I'm glad you mention that because at this time in American politics is an incredibly sensitive time.
This is a time of stigmatization of immigrants.
It's this time of stigmatization of religions.
We are talking here about children.
We're talking about 5-year-olds, 6-year-old little girls, 7-year-old little girls.
We're not — These are not — It's not a population that can come out like Me Too and Time's Up and say, 'This is something that happened to me.'
Never mind our contemporary, cultural…whatever we are in our confrontations or political climate or issues of stigmatization.
All of that is cosmic to them.
I just want you to understand.
When you have a little girl in Minnesota or in Maine or in Michigan that's being held down by her parents, mainly her mother, aunts, other females, and her clitoris is being cut, I don't think that the first thing that she thinks is, 'Oh, my goodness, let's wait until there's a better political climate.'
It's, 'Let's stop this barbarity.'
There is a case of a doctor who is being prosecuted right now.
Her name is Dr. Jumana Nagarwala.
She's in Michigan.
And potentially 100 young women have been subjected to female genital mutilation here in the United States.
And she has a degree from Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland.
She's well-educated.
I don't know if she's born here, but she is raised here.
And so, this whole issue of people are educated.
If women are educated and so on and so forth, the practice will go away.
No. These things linger.
And they go from generation to generation.
They go from country to country, and here we are, in the United States, in Michigan, and, yes, this woman — it's going to be one of the first — I think it's — we hope it's going to be the first successful prosecution.
So, I'd like to talk about how the AHA Foundation would like to tackle this problem, because you believe there's a multi-pronged approach for doing this.
It involves educating communities.
It involves educating law enforcement.
And it also involves prosecuting perpetrators.
And it also involves, by the way, collecting data and reporting.
So, first, you talked about criminalizing and the law.
Is there a sweet spot between educating communities and punishing the people who instigate this procedure?
So, I believe that we have to start by understanding human nature, and I think what we know about human nature is what you have to work with carrots and sticks.
You have to reach out to the communities that do believe in this practice and educate them, really educate them on what this practice is, why it's bad, and the fact that it doesn't even accomplish what they seek, which is the maintenance of chastity.
Or modesty or virginity and all the rest of it.
So, that's one.
Then we have to educate the community of experts — pediatricians, law enforcement, social workers.
Any of those, you know, people who protected these little children.
And then I think you do have to have the stick to say, 'We are criminalizing this,' and when you do that, you give a reason to the parents who come from some of these cultures so that within their own community they can say — and we've had this over and over again.
I had it in the Netherlands.
I had it in the U.K., in France, and now in the United States of America.
If they can say to their peers, 'I'm sorry.
I'm not going to mutilate my child because I could go to prison or I could lose my child.'
So criminalization is very important, but criminalization is not enough if you don't have in place a form of detection as well.
There have been a couple of bills that have worked their way through state legislatures.
In Minnesota, in Massachusetts, and in Maine most recently.
And in each of these cases, they have come up against pretty strong resistance.
And in the case of Minnesota, it seemed to me that, while it passed overwhelmingly and on a bipartisan measure in the lower house in Minnesota, by the time it got to the upper house, there seemed to be a real degree of controversy about the piece that you just said, about criminalization of the doctors and of the parents who instigate this procedure, that simply because people are coming from a different culture and they don't know the values or the laws in the United States that there should be a de-emphasis on the criminalization.
Tell me why not.
I think if you — You have to begin the conversation with cutting the genitals of little children, of girls in the United States of America is, it's seen as barbaric, and that's a moral expression.
It's a crime, like all forms of child abuse.
So I think once immigrants — It doesn't matter if they came yesterday or 100 years ago.
Once they understand, 'Goodness, this is a crime,' then you get to the next bit, where you start, and I think you have to do this as a package.
So I don't think — I disagree with people like Leyla Hussein, who say, 'We just educate and educate and talk about it.'
Leyla Hussein, who is a Somali woman in the U.K. who works with an organization to help fight female genital mutilation in the United Kingdom.
But she doesn't believe in criminalizing.
She's wonderful, but she thinks it's possible to eradicate this practice simply by 'educating.'
Again, I want to point out that the doctor who's performing female genital mutilation in Michigan is a graduate of Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, so education doesn't just get you there.
In the state of Maine, there are some 12,000 Somali immigrants.
And you yourself were a Somali immigrant.
According to the U.N., some 95% of Somali girls have undergone this procedure.
And I wonder, how much of yourself do you see as you try to advocate and support and spare the Somali immigrants in this country?
Well, initially when I came to Europe and then later United States of America, my feeling was, 'Oh, my God, these girls are so lucky.
They don't have to undergo female genital mutilation on American soil because that won't be allowed' or in Europe because that won't be allowed.
And then I realized, 'Oh, my goodness, no, I was luckier.'
I actually got out and managed to then look back in.
And so I'm frustrated by the fact that you leave your country of origin in search of life, freedom, and your bodily integrity as a woman, and you think you're protected by the law, and you come to realize no because the people who are supposed to protect you and the institutions that are supposed to protect you are culturally sensitive.
Do you think that laws are failing to pass in the United States in some of these states who have attempted legislation but it hasn't gotten entirely across the finish line to a governor's desk for a signature because of cultural sensitivity and because of political correctness, or is it sometimes because they're ill-conceived laws that don't strike the right balance between education and punitive elements?
It's both.
So, in some places, there is a wrong balance.
In some places, there's just, honestly, in the United States of America, to this day, there's an unfamiliarity with the problem.
When I speak to doctors, they say, 'It's something that happens in Africa.
Does it happen in America?'
So there's that part of it.
And then there's the part where some of the, you know, members of the communities that value the tradition lobby the government, and they use all sorts of, you know, very effective lobbying ways to convince them to stay away from not only that but from honor violence or from child marriage, from honor killings, from forced marriages, that sort of thing.
Those are the issues that my foundation deals with.
One of the criticisms of having too strong of a punishment is that the parents of these girls will not take them to seek medical not just treatment but regular preventative medical care.
How do you handle that?
Well, you handle it the same way you handle sex abuse against children.
It's a crime in the United States of America and the rest of the civilized world to sexually abuse little children.
And the government puts a lot of resources into making sure that as much as possible of that gets reported and gets prosecuted.
And it's — you know, parents will not take their children to the pediatrician if they know that the pediatrician is going to look for female genital mutilation is a possibility, but we have to find a way around that, to obligate parents to take their children to the pediatrician.
Is one of the ways of doing that ensuring that it's not the parents who are criminalized but perhaps punishing the doctor or punishing the adults that took them to be brutalized and to have the procedure?
There is a law, I think in Michigan, they're very explicit about who can receive the punishment.
So, here's another side to this whole thing.
I think it's very important to punish the person who's doing the actual cutting.
Not all of them are doctors, by the way.
But it's the parent who's taking the child to this 'service provider,' who's paying for it, and sometimes we have something called vacation cutting.
If you cannot find people who will, you know, mutilate the genitals of your child, during the summer vacation, you buy a ticket and you go to a place where it can.
You go from the states that have criminalized it to the states where it's not a crime and have it done there.
So I think you can't take the parent — you can't absolve the parent of responsibility.
They are responsible in our education.
So this is to go back to the carrot.
In the education manuals, we need to make the parents understand that it's a crime and it's a crime that is barbaric and it's going to be severely punished.
And not only that, the carrot piece of it is, you don't have to do it here in the United States.
Understand.
Talk to the parents.
Why do you do it?
If you had talked to my grandmother and you said, before she had done it, 'Why do you want to have the genitals of these children removed?'
She would say, 'They'll never find a husband.'
Talk about that why because then she would talk about how can he ensure that they are virgins.
You talk about that sort of thing.
So the process of education in some of these cultural dogmas have to be discussed, just like we talk about abstinence versus sexual education.
These debates — This is FGM.
It sounds very alien — female genital mutilation.
It's alien.
It's barbaric.
It's so primitive that most Americans think, 'Oh, my God, this is something — these human beings are from Mars or something.'
But the discussions around chastity, virginity, sex before marriage, teenage pregnancies, we've been having those for a long time.
So I think you can't absolve these parents of responsibility.
You could maybe make their punishments less severe?
They have to be equally severe?
I have talked to women who were arguing with their girlfriends, 'Why is your daughter not — How old is your daughter?'
'She's 8.'
'And it's not done yet?
Oh, my goodness, you haven't purified your daughter?'
Because that's what they call it.
And these women say, 'I can't.
I don't want her to be taken away from me.
They say in this country they take your children away from you.
They say that they'll put you in prison.
I don't want to do that.'
So then you give them this choice between hey, this is what you risk if you want to adhere to this tradition, and you give them arguments within their own community to say — plus, sometimes, with some of the people who are more open-minded, the education actually seeps through.
You talk to some women who really had terrible experience with FGM, with female genital mutilation, and they will say, 'Maybe I won't do that to my daughter.'
In your view, should there be a statute of limitations?
Because if you have a statute of limitations — So, look at the Me Too.
Some of these girls started to talk about their experiences years and years and years after these terrible experiences.
And here we're talking about children who are 5 or 6 or 7 or 8.
So you see.
Maybe when they're 25 or 28 or 35, that's when they can come out and say, 'Look, this is what happened,' and you want that kind of Me Too.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Me Too movement because it seems like, to me, that the Me Too movement and the Time's Up movement are empowering women to reclaim their stories, to reclaim their bodies, to assert agency when it comes to their own story.
And I wonder if there might not be a benefit to the movement that you are working on and to the issue that you're working on in terms of protecting young girls and inspiring young girls to vocalize their stories.
Well, it is — if we focus only on sexual assault and harassment in the workplace, then obviously we're not talking about children.
We're not talking about the types of honor violence, child marriage, forced marriage, the issues that I deal with that are happening to women in America, some of them American citizens.
Can it help?
Can the Me Too movement help?
The Me Too movement is evolving.
It depends on where they go.
If the Me Too movement becomes — Look, I'm a victim of this type of abuse, and I've come out, and it helps if we all come out.
That can inspire women to come out, victims or survivors of FGM and honor violence.
They can come out and say, 'Yeah, sure, we can do this.'
If the Me Too movement morphs into the political arm of a certain political party, then it doesn't.
In my experience, there are women like me who have come out and told their stories or their experience with female genital mutilation, honor violence, forced marriage, and they've been vilified.
They've been shut up in so many different ways.
We are not taken seriously, so it doesn't become a Me Too because the women on the inside who are watching are thinking, 'I don't want to live with bodyguards.
I don't want to be threatened.
That's not what I'm going to do.
I'm just going to quietly live my life.
I don't want to lose the love of my parents.'
Remember, a lot of these things are in relationship to your own parents, the most intimate of relationship of all.
So the Me Too movement is inspirational, but it depends also where it goes.
Yeah, yeah.
There are going to be women who are watching you speak who didn't know that female genital mutilation is happening in the United States, that are thinking about how the Me Too movement has emboldened women, ordinary women, across the country and given them the power and the courage to come forward and tell their stories and that there actually has been change.
Because of that.
And for ordinary women who see you for the first time and hear you talk about this and might have had an experience of FGM or might know about FGM in their community or in their states, is there something they can take away from this and is there any synergy or inspiration they might take from Me Too in the context of the very specific concerns and abuse that you've raised with FGM?
If you're a lone voice coming out and saying, 'This happened to me,' you can be silenced easily.
If it's just two of you, if it's three of you, you can be silenced and dispersed.
When you come out in large numbers, as in the Me Too movement, there is power in numbers.
It's that kind of unity because remember, with, you know, all kinds of assault and harassment in the workplace, it used to be dismissed as, you know, 'Come on, you've got to put up with it.'
You were made to think about your career.
You were made to think about a series of things that you had to fear before you stood up to your abuser or abusers or change the culture or come out with your story or think that you would lead the way to come out and do it.
And it's the same with female genital mutilation and the types of honor violence I'm talking about.
You have to think it's children.
It's your own intimate circle that's doing it.
It's your own father and mother.
'Please, don't give me away to the police.
Please don't talk about it.
You will ruin our family.
I will curse you to hell.'
The pressure on the women who are suffering various forms of honor violence and female genital mutilation is so much higher.
It's a life-and-death matter very often, so much more than what the victims of workplace harassment and assault were suffering.
But what they can do and what they have done in the way they inspire me is it's not going to be with one or two women.
We have to come out in large numbers, but we also have to be heard.
And in order to be heard, those who are listening have to shed this inhibition about cultural sensitivity, about whatever their feelings are to the administration of the day, that sort of thing.
So don't keep on changing the subjects on us.
Think of that child who's on the floor, pinned down, in Michigan, in Maine, in Minnesota, and in New York, who's screaming, 'Please don't do this.'
And law enforcement is doing nothing about it because they don't know.
Social workers, teachers, pediatricians, no one knows, and for those of us who come out, you all look away, and when I say 'you all,' that sounds a bit like the South, but I mean, I haven't seen any institutional change.
So if you go about it that way, then I don't think there's going to be a Me Too movement of these women.
I'm incredibly grateful for your time and for taking the time to come on 'Firing Line.'
Thank you, Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Thank you very much, Margaret.

Although there's not much going on but a flash animated intro and a few pics we've already shown you, you can still check out the official website for Sony's upcoming remake of When a Stranger Calls, which stars Camilla Belle, Katie Cassidy, Brian Geraghty, John Bobek, Molly Bryant, Madeline Carroll, David Denman, Kate Jennings Grant, Derek de Lint, Brad Surosky, Tessa Thompson, Kevin Wethington and Arthur Young. A high-school student traumatized while babysitting by a caller who repeatedly asks, "Have you checked the children lately?" After notifying the police, she is told that the calls are coming from inside the house. Simon West's film hits theaters February 3rd.


Once upon a time, in the days when a sense of entitlement had value, a privileged baby boy was born. Because his parents were of a certain class, and were a certain color, and had money, the world was wide open to this boy, and he did not need to work very hard or become very smart in order to attain his goals.
After high school, the boy decided that he wanted to become a doctor, so he went to college, where he performed acceptably, and to medical school, from which he graduated in the bottom ten percent of his class. And because he attended one of the few medical schools with a Department of Anesthesiology, he became an anesthetic specialist; and because of his name, his class, and his face, he became the Head of Anesthesiology at a large hospital on the West coast.
He was not a good anesthesiologist. In those days, the science was still new: patients were given ether and sodium pentothal; good anesthesiologists killed one of of every thousand patients with anesthesia alone, and this was an acceptable risk. In this field, against these numbers, this doctor was worse.
But no one gave credence to his claims.
So the man became an anesthesiologist at a large veterinary clinic, where animals were the only things he could accidentally murder at an inordinately high rate.
None of the doctors could stop staring at the anesthesiologist. As everyone knows, a wild animal with a broken leg must be put under general anesthesia in order to undergo surgery.
"For God's sake, don't mess this up," said the Head Surgeon to the anesthesiologist.
Oh, how the anesthesiologist did sweat. As the doctors took x-rays, he ran into his office and read all about the unique biology of Vulpes Vulpes, the red fox. As the nurses shaved the leg, he carefully noted the King's weight to the ounce, and began running complicated equations to determine the precise dosage of the anesthesia. As the King of Foxes spoke with his loved ones, he carefully measured the animal's mouth and sternum.
The doctors all scrubbed in, and the anesthesiologist put the King of Foxes under.
After surgery, the entire operating room waited with bated breath. The surgery had gone well. The leg was pinned and casted. The patient was still alive, but there are many things that an anesthesiologist can do horribly wrong that will leave a patient alive. No one wanted the King of Foxes to be a vegetable, or even slightly brain damaged.
At last, the fox shook his head, muttered, and opened his eyes. He looked down at his cast and flexed his foot. The nurses scrambled to help him sit up.
"Thank you," said the Fox King, when he had regained his faculties.
"Take them apart," said the healed King of Foxes, and his skulk set upon the surgeons and nurses in a flurry of fangs and claws. They yanked the receptionist's arm from its socket, and broke her neck. They burrowed into the Head Surgeon's soft underbelly with sharp little teeth. And then they tore out the anesthesiologist's throat, silencing a scream and leaving him gurgling to drown in his own blood.


This problem is already documented in this forum - but all this threads seem to be closed without an answer.
I cannot insert a picture (= a bitmap) int a page edited with writer using the simple "copy/paste" function. This function is working fine with Microsoft Word and Thunderbird (and many other apps) - but obviously not with the writer.
Is this "working as designed" or a bug?


Format Differences: The examples that you are looking at may not be the way that you are required to format your essay. Every professor is different and some prefer certain styles over another. If you are seeking out specimens online, make sure that they are in the style that you have been asked to submit.
Good or Bad: Since absolutely anything can be posted on the internet, there is really no way for you to be completely certain that the example you have chosen to peruse is any good. While it may seem wonderful to you, in reality it could be a bad example of work, leading to your essay possibly being rejected, or even given a failing grade if you choose to follow it.
Stuck in a Rut: Once you have examined examples online, it is extremely difficult to forget what you have seen. Even subconsciously, your brain will attempt to mimic the papers that you have read during your research process. If you have been following resources that are not correct, there is a high likelihood that you will write your own the same way.
Unprecedented Trust: In a nutshell, when you choose to review free online examples of essays, you are trusting that what you are reading, and possibly quoting, is accurate. When you decide to cite these works by other "students" in your own paper, it is a toss-up as to whether or not you have just ruined all that you have worked for. By citing sources that are not accurate, it becomes obvious that you did not put enough effort into the paper, and that you did not take the time to ensure the validity of the resources that you used.
Oldies but not Goodies: One of the worst things that you can do is to use sources that are so old, they are no longer relevant to the topic that you have chosen. Finding a publication date is not always an easy task, so stick to examples that prominently feature the date that they were published.


text:
Uppehållstillstånd kallas ett tillstånd för en icke-medborgare att bosätta sig på ett lands territorium. En icke-medborgare som saknar uppehållstillstånd (eller andra handlingar som krävs för vistelse i ett land, till exempel visum) kan bli avvisad/utvisad av myndighet till det landet där personen är medborgare. Uppehållstillstånd kan återkallas bland annat på grund av brott eller på grund av att personen har bosatt sig i ett annat land.

En nyanländ är en skyddsbehövande som har fått beviljat uppehållstillstånd och därför inte längre är asylsökande, men som omfattas av lagen om etableringsinsatser (normalt 2-3 år). Ett visum är ett tillstånd för en icke-medborgare att tillfälligt resa in i och uppehålla sig i ett land.

Personer som åtnjuter fri rörlighet behöver varken uppehållstillstånd eller visum, utan åtnjuter uppehållsrätt. Exempel på detta är nordiska medborgare som har rätt att röra sig fritt inom Norden,  Benelux-medborgare som har rätt att röra sig fritt inom Benelux och unionsmedborgare som har rätt att fritt röra sig och bosätta sig inom Europeiska unionen, i enlighet med villkoren i rörlighetsdirektivet.

Olika typer av uppehållstillstånd
Ett uppehållstillstånd kan vara antingen permanent eller tillfälligt. I det förstnämnda fallet gäller tillståndet på obegränsad tid och kan upphävas endast i särskilda fall, till exempel om personen ifråga döms för ett allvarligt brott eller har bosatt sig i ett annat land. I det sistnämnda fallet gäller tillståndet endast för en begränsad tid, men kan ofta förlängas om särskilda krav uppfylls.

Uppehållstillstånd kan beviljas av olika skäl, till exempel för asylsökande med skyddsbehov, för arbetskraftsinvandrare eller för anhöriginvandrare.

Lagstiftning
I många länder tillämpas ett green card-system, som är ID-kort (ursprungligen grönt) som ger utländska medborgares rätt att arbeta i landet. Systemet utvecklades i USA. Liknande system tillämpas i Storbritannien, Danmark och flera länder.

Sverige

Uppehållstillstånd i Sverige är antingen tillfälliga eller permanenta. I Sverige infördes krav på uppehållstillstånd år 1927 för utlänningar som uppehöll sig permanent i landet.

Uppehållstillstånd kan ges genom familjeanknytning eller besök, för arbete eller studier samt till egna företagare. Asylsökande kan få uppehållstillstånd genom fem skäl: konventionsflykting, alternativt skyddsbehövande, skyddsbehövande i övrigt, synnerligen ömmande omständigheter eller som kvotflykting.

USA
I USA är green card ett permanent uppehållstillstånd och arbetstillstånd för utlänningar, men också en benämning på den immigrationsprocess som först innefattar ett tillfälligt arbetstillstånd.

Storbritannien
I Storbritannien har ett poängbaserat system på att fasats in mellan 2008 och 2010. En viss poängnivå krävs för arbetstillstånd. Poängberäkningen baseras på utbildning, ålder, tidigare och förväntad lön, yrkeskvalifikationer, engelska språkkunskaper, samt startkapital för att starta eller ta över ett företag (om man söker till entreprenörskategorin). Olika krav ställs på olika kategorier. Kategori 1 är högt kvalificerade sökande som omfattar underkategorierna sökande som fått examen vid ett brittiskt universitet, entreprenörer, investerare samt en allmän underkategori. Dessa sökande behöver inte ha ett formellt arbetserbjudande för tillstånd. Kategori 2 är kvalificerade arbetare som har ett arbetserbjudande. Kategori 3 är lägre kvalificerade arbetare inom yrken där det finns tillfällig arbetskraftbrist. Kategori 4 är för studenter. Kategori 5 är tillfällig arbetskraft och ungdomar.

Danmark
I Danmark infördes ett greencardsystem 2007. Det baseras på ett poängsystem, som avväger utbildning, arbetserfarenhet och ålder, och administreras av Udlændingeservice (motsvarande Migrationsverket).

Europeiska unionen

Inom Europeiska unionen åtnjuter unionsmedborgare (medborgare i någon av unionens medlemsstater) rätten till fri rörlighet. Det innebär att unionsmedborgare har rätt att fritt bosätta sig utan uppehållstillstånd i en annan medlemsstat än sitt hemland genom så kallad uppehållsrätt. EU har även en gemensam invandringspolitik som innefattar vissa gemensamma bestämmelser för tredjelandsmedborgare, däribland utformningen av uppehållstillstånd.

Planerat gemensamt EU-system för arbetstillstånd
För närvarande har varje EU-land olika metoder för att bevilja arbetstillstånd till medborgare från länder utanför EU. EU-kommissionen inledde ett arbete under 1999 med att utveckla en gemensam EU-omfattande process för att ge icke EU-medborgare tillträde till arbetsmarknaden. I oktober 2007 antog de ett förslag om att införa ett arbetstillstånd som liknar USA:s Green Card-program, som kallas EU-blåkort. Det liknar Storbritanniens program för högutbildade migranter, med undantaget ett anställningskontrakt på plats krävs före migrationen. Efter två år i det första landet tillåts invandraren att arbeta i ett annat EU-land. Detta nya kort är tänkt att ersätta de nationella systemen för arbetstillstånd inom EU.

Ett utslag i Europeiska unionens domstol från 1994 ger rätt till förenklad procedur med mindre risk för avslag om någon med arbetstillstånd i ett EU-land vill arbeta i ett annat under samma arbetsgivare, om arbetsgivaren sålt en tjänst i det andra EU-landet. Det kallas Van der Elst-visum. I Sverige finns inga särskilda regler för de som redan är anställda i andra EU-länder.

Our company took part in an amazing event Mineral & Gem international show 25-28 June which takes place annually in Sainte-Marie-AUX-Mines, France, in the heart of a Vosges valley, a 1 hour drive from Strasbourg and Nancy. The visitors of this big event could enjoy exploring and buying our products as well as ones of other companies on a total surface of 52.000 sq. meters divided in two zones: the 'Gem Zone' in the lower town, and the 'Mineral Zone' in the upper town. Those who came to the show could feel the exceptionally kind and positive atmosphere which filled the town. We are happy to be able to present our shungite products to the public in such environment. Here you can see some of the pictures of our shop from the show.
