Carroll on Seahawks-49ers for title: 'It's a blast'
The Seahawks coach is not bashful about his own excitement for round three this season against the 49ers in pursuit of a Super Bowl ticket.
Pete Carroll won't minimize it — the NFC championship game "is a thrill." / Drew Sellers, Sportspress Northwest
Jacked as is the community — and to some extent, the football nation — over the NFC championship game, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will see your adrenal-gland wager and raise it.
"Hours of sleep are short," he said on his weekly radio show on ESPN 710. "But we're kicking into it. It is a blast – in the playoffs, playing at home and having 60 minutes between now and the Super Bowl. It's a thrill to be in this setting."
Give credit to Carroll for avoiding the usual coach-mumble about just another game. He knows the last 12 months in Renton and Santa Clara, CA., the 49ers' headquarters, have been a power grind to get to Sunday's moment between the two best teams in the NFC, which pack in all the passion/contempt/fear/joy that two ultra-competitive brothers bring to a backyard fistfight.
"The fact that we have this familiarity makes it a really cool match-up,"he said. "We'll all be deep into it. It's one everyone likes to see, (the 49ers) don't mind it, we don't mind it one bit, either. From early in the year, these were the teams people were talking about. There's no better match-up you could find in the NFC.
"Geez, they played well though the end of the season. They were consistent with their running and throwing games. The quarterbacks and receivers, with their playmaking, have always been really good. It's a really well-equipped football team coming in against a really well-equipped football team. Could be a great match."
Each rematch prompts a more intense focus. The teams split the regular-season games, each winning at home, Seattle 29-3 and San Francisco 19-17.
"The variables are different," he said. "We know what we've done well against them, and what hasn't worked. It's a chess match, how to emphasize certain things we've done, and how to take advantage of what they do."
Given the pre-eminence on both teams of the defenses, another low-scoring game is foreseen, which suits Carroll just fine. As it did against the Saints Saturday. The Seahawks won 23-15 with only 277 yards of offense and quarterback Russell Wilson completing only 9 of 18 passes for a career low 103 yards.
He reminded that in the Week 2 win over the Niners, the Seahawks had only 290 yards of offense and Wilson was 8 for 19 for 118 yards, yet they won by 26.
"We've had games where we put up a lot of points, but sometimes that's not really needed," he said. "This is a one-game thing. You play the game to get the thing won. You've got to play the clock and use all of your opportunities."
Given the wet, blustery conditions Saturday, Carroll was happy that the script he wrote played out.
"It was a really good football game for us because we played it like we imagined it," he said. "We were ready for the conditions, and didn't let conditions affect us. We were going to the running game, defense and special teams. It turned out like we thought.
"We could have played better. We didn't stop the run like we wanted to. But we shut them out in the first half. (Saints QB Drew) Brees wasn't throwing it because of the wind, and he threw for 5,000 yards this year. When they the run the ball, they're not playing in the manner you'd think. It worked out OK."
No update on Harvin
The status of WR Percy Harvin won't be known until Wednesday or Thursday as he works through the NFL protocol for concussions.
"It was fun to have him out there," Carroll said of Harvin's second game this season, in which he had five passes sent his way, catching three for 21 yards. "We're fortunate to have the extra day, which helps in these situations."
Carroll said he was having no part of the Seattle fan sentiment that the Saints were deliberately targeting Harvin's head to get him out of the game.
"No," he said. "The plays that happened, just happened. I don't feel like that was an issue at all."

Carroll is a bigger man than I am as far as Harvin is concerned. I think he was targeted.
That said I hope he's back on Sunday.
Skymaster T
Carroll wouldn't admit it if he thought Harvin was targeted. It would cause a firestorm of issues with the league and the Saints and potentially just be a huge distraction to the team, and there's no way to prove it anyways.
BigDoogie
Perhaps Hugh Millen, on KJR this morning, explained it best, saying that RW should have looked off the the safety (Bush) before throwing the ball to Harvin.
Millen said that Russel locked onto Harvin, telecasting his intentions to the hungry Bush, who was looking to make a statement early in the game for his team. The not in game shape Harvin took the vicious hit — wrong place, wrong time. If it had been Baldwin going up for the ball, the same collision would probably have occurred.
Wilson may have been trying a little too hard to get Percy involved early — there were 2 other open receivers on the that play — according to Millen.
Hugh knows his stuff, and I haven't watched the replay. But the Saints knew Harvin's potential for a game-breaking play. So they broke him first.
If the Seahawks have an issue, it's likely going through a back channel instead of through media.

Seems like a fine would should be forthcoming, huh?
Its onlySports(DavidWakefield)
Envision the Hawks pushing their 4th quarter adrenaline ,drawing from their fan base and registering a critical drive to score(for the win) like the 49ers had done to hold serve and come from behind to snatch victory from the Beak of their most hated rival at home this season.
Home teams are expected to do that if you are good and 16~1 over the last 2 seasons at home surely qualifies you as good…perhaps great.
Imagine the shell shocked look on the boys in red… and QB Colin looking up at the scoreboard desperately wishing the SEA~D had afforded him an opportunity to smooch on his body but was afforded nary a chance. See points are hard to come by in the sizzle pot known as the clink.
His sad face tells you that he realizes its more kiss it….kiss it goodbye to the chance to push his annoying trademark in the big stage.
Bye Bye chance for a second straight Superbowl.Time to book your vacation to Jamaica or some warm Destination ,Colin.
Now THAT thought is a blast!
God bless Paul Allen for HIS Vision the day he hired Pete and John!
Lets take it to ,em! Beat the 49ers!
Kaepernick will invite you to kiss more than his bicep.
Yah…he ain't pulling me into his next DRE commercial Art.. he can keep his Kaepernicking to himself. Although I could see that as a SF style DRE theme…Seahawk fans turn a new leaf ~commence to Kaepernickling Kaepernick~gets the 12th man love. I'm sticking to the sea gals.

The Saints may no longer have bounties but it wouldn't surprise me if Payton said that Harvin needed to be taken out. It's just too suspicious that he got hit 2x by hits that were called illegal. And twice I saw him getting up and was pushed back down by a Saints player. I was surprised an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was never called. Evidently the refs are letting players play in the playoffs. Maybe it's all a coincidence but it's a bit weird and after Bountygate I'm not sure if an old dog can learn new tricks that quickly.
I think too much is being made of Russell Wilson's stats. The ground game was having too good of a day. Plus if Harvin's two hits were catches he would have had much more yardage.
The passing numbers weren't much bigger when the Seahawks won 29-3. You're right, the numbers are not decisive. Turnovers are.
oldfan
It's not the stats that worry me as much as the misses on short passes, especially on third down.
(A little arm chair quarterbacking) I get the sense he's not anticipating his receivers being open the way he did earlier in the season, but waiting to "see" it and then rushing his throw to try to fit it into the window.
I think he's being too patient, too trusting in his WR's to get open. He revisits his checkpoints thinking they'll eventually get open. If it isn't there I think he needs to run for the 1st down more. He got away from that at mid-season.
Could be the case. I definitely agree he needs to commit to running a beat earlier, especially when he steps up in the pocket. That hesitation is getting him caught from behind.
Sorry, Pete, that hit on Harvin looked like the same-old-same-old bounty hunting by the Saints. Did you see the Saints sideline after that hit?

The Enduring Relevance of HBCUs in America
The question that must be asked is can HBCUs fiscally manage in these turbulent and uncertain times and still remain relevant as many state legislatures have continued to decrease funding to institutions of higher education?

An ongoing debate at the collegiate and legislative levels across the U.S. has been about the relevance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Currently there are 105 HBCUs across the country mainly in the southern states established post-Civil war. Many of these were established as part of legislation of The Morrill Act of 1862 which we know as the Land Grant College Act. However, during that time, U.S. systems were segregated by race and the opportunity to achieve the American dream though education could not be fully realized by many African Americans in many of the Confederate states. It was not until the Second Morrill Act of 1890 passed that this was extended to include to black institutions. The vision of the originator of the Morrill Act, Congressman Justin Smith Morrill from Vermont, himself a high school drop-out, was to finance agricultural and mechanical education and to make this education available to all social classes of people in the U.S.
Though the initial motivation of this Act was wide sweeping and unprecedented as it represented a new approach to higher educational attainment and as a result many HBCUs experienced great educational outreach and established a remarkable tradition of educating African Americans as they continue to do today. However, the historical reputations that many HBCUs had in previous years has made it difficult to maintain given a variety of internal and external economic upheavals, low enrollment and other opportunity challenges facing a great majority of colleges and universities in general and HBCUs specifically. The goal is not discuss the specific problems or successes of any particular HBCU or Predominately White Institutions (PWI) but to merely share some of the dynamic differences that might exist among these institutions and how HBCUs maybe in a unique position to remain relevant due to their very organic nature and original purposes.
Among these challenges that bring into question HBCUs' relevance are mostly economic in nature. One could argue that there also exists a gap in the quality of academic programs, faculty and host a host of other indicators that exist between HBCUs and PWIs but one would then have to argue that there are differences within and among these two types of institution's academic programs as well. So, while quality of programs is very important, I believe that the economic instability might be a better indicator given the current climate in our country and the based on the consistent demands on colleges and universities.
The question that must be asked is can HBCUs fiscally manage in these turbulent and uncertain times and still remain relevant as many state legislatures have continued to decrease funding to institutions of higher education? These cuts have forced many institutions to seek other streams of revenue to support its array of academic programs, projects, faculty and other related institutional activities. Such conditions have forced higher educational institutions toward a heavier reliance on alumni support, fundraising, extramural funding and auxiliary based resources. For many Predominately White Institutions (PWIs) and HBCUs this drastic change in state support has left these institutions to their own vices in discovering innovative solutions to keep their doors open and simultaneously provide a quality educational tradition and climate.
Nonetheless, the impact of this problem seems much greater among HBCUs as their very essence is often called into question whenever their fiscal woes become public knowledge and when it appears that HBCUs either cannot or will not manage as economically as they are expected. With declining enrollments, financial ills and accreditation issues, many HBCUs find themselves barely staying afloat. This type of instability has caused many of these institutions to try and defend their missions and most importantly, their mere existence.
Therefore, the relevance of HBCUs becomes center to all other things in a changing economic system and where pressures to meet various mandated metrics have come into play to reward performance and learning outcomes rather than expand enrollment. Performance and learning outcomes are extremely important and vital to any institution's desire to demonstrate how they meets their mission and goals but it has become a less than comfortable experience for many HBCUs as they are often being compared to other PWIs who may have been afforded a longer period of consistent and substantial state support, large alumni bases of support and larger academic and extracurricular programs that generate revenue and subsequently raise the brand value of the institution.
This sort of institutional popularity as seen often through well-funded wining athletic programs, well-renowned academic programs and eminent scholar placement to name a few, certainly brings a great deal of positive attention to institutions. These and many other indicators send the message out to would be college students to attend their institutions because the very nature and great record of the institution's reputation would enhance their life and career chances in a competitive society. This type of reputation also signals to donors that their money would be well spent by investing in their institutions.
In spite of these issues, many HBCU leaders and administrators must remember the unique missions that branded them and afforded them their unique place in history in the first place. HBCUs should not abandon their original missions unless they are found to be irrelevant or dysfunctional. They should seek to expand their missions and embrace change in ways that PWIs have difficultly doing due to their very nature. For example, PWIs cannot educate the entire U.S. population nor does every student wish to attend a PWI. Though higher education institutional missions can be broad and appear to be inclusive and diverse, data of their enrollment, admissions records, acceptance rates and academic profiles certainly send a different message about the values of those institutions. One must remember all HBCUs and all PWIs are not created equal and the same problems do not always impact them the same ways as it might other institutions.
This leaves the door open for HBCUs to continue attracting and recruiting quality and deserving African Americans students and at the same time attract a variety of other student subgroups that may qualify for admissions at their institutions but may not be granted that opportunity at many PWIs. Among the fastest growing college groups seeking a college experience are African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Pacific Islanders and Asians. HBCUs must diversify their student body and offer a variety of attractive academic programs that will bolster their identity and at the same time build a reputation of producing top students in their chosen fields. Some HBCUs may also be located in an area that has a large Hispanic population and therefore may want to consider the possibility of being designated or partnering with a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) though Title V.
HBCUs are also in a great position to offer a variety of online Baccalaureate and Master degree programs and potentially increase the cost per credit hour for such online courses to eventually pay faculty and other support staff connected with the course development, design, delivery and maintenance. In addition to this strategy, especially in expanding Masters degrees program offerings, HBCUs also may be positioned to attract or recruit from the international community through various feeder programs and articulation agreements. These unique partnerships would allow international students to gain a meaningful education within the states while potentially working, living and contributing back to their respective communities.
There are also unique social, psychological, health and economic conditions that adversely impact communities of color nationally and internationally such as poverty, violence, disproportionate minority contact in criminal justice system, disparate treatment of minorities, inequities in health care and medicine, mental health and educational opportunities to name a few. While there are many others, these are the types of academic programs and activities that HBCUs should be leading the charge on due simply to the fact that these issues have a profound and often direct impact on the very populations they educate, serve and address as part of their academic and research missions.
HBCUs are also in unique positions to address the so called traditional intellectualism that must be forever present in any educational institution but can link this intellectualism with issues that have not been researched heavily by mainstream researchers at PWIs and could be considered anti-intellectual by their standards. However, we know that these factors impact the lives of people on a daily basis. HBCUs and their faculty should be rewarded for tackling social and medical phenomena that others have not attempted or been interested in researching. Such areas of interest can open new intellectual doors and conversations for engaging discourse nationally and internationally. More importantly, we should not just conduct this research but we must apply it in order to make our communities better places. This is another unique quality of HBCUs that is within its very social nature to be involved in its community and be change agents.
Certainly, the economic problems associated with maintaining any educational institution is dependent on many factors. Many PWIs suffer with this problem as well; however, the impact seems to be much greater for many HBCUs who are experiencing consistent enrollment reductions, decreased state support, reductions in federal support, dwindling or weak alumni fiscal support base and an almost non-existent endowment base. Given these dire facts, HBCUs still remain important to many people across the nation and therefore, HBCUs leaders, administrators, policy makers, faculty, staff and students must collectively revolutionize how they work together as a consortium and build the type of economic base and economic support needed to maintain important programs and at the same time prioritize what is most germane to their missions.
HBCUs must build their own metrics for success within the realm of their resources, talents, missions and based on their unique positions as minority serving institutions. While most colleges and universities want to be competitive, I do not think it is prudent to compare apples to oranges when it comes to different institutions and their resources. It is high time that HBCU leaders create metrics, benchmarks and rankings with their missions and foci in mind. Why create goals that are unattainable? Doing so leads to failure and prolonged disillusionment. Why constantly compare your institution to another institution that you are nothing like? This is of course is the beginning of sanity, envy and unhealthy competition.
Again, no college or university is created equal and therefore why should HBCUs and other PWIs for that matter constantly compare itself to an institution for which it will never be? Therefore, creating rankings and levels that create positive competition and opportunities to meet ones mission through these realistic rankings or levels would seem most desirable and meaningful. I understand that when layers or strata are created there will be inequality but I do not think it would be the type of inequality that would be to the detriment of HBCUs if this is done carefully and methodically considering the unique difference and nuances of HBCUs and their respective missions and histories; logical success can be expected short term and long term.
Dr. Gregory J. Harris is the mentor of Herron Keyon Gaston, a graduate student at Yale University and a two-time graduate of the Florida A&M University. They both are uniquely interested in the continued progression of HBCUs in America.

BILOXI, MS (WLOX) - What can help East Biloxi thrive and succeed?
That's the question the East Biloxi Community Collaborative will be asking residents over the next few months. It's all part of an assessment aimed at breaking down barriers in the community.
"A lot of us grew up here in East Biloxi. I grew up here in East Biloxi, and I want to see East Biloxi thrive, and it just isn't growing at the same rate as other parts of Biloxi," said EBCC Program Director Allytra Perryman.
Perryman said they're launching the comprehensive needs assessment to find out directly from East Biloxians what they need to succeed.
"We want residents to be honest with us about their community and the things that they like about their community and things they want to change in their community," she said.
The EBCC did a similar assessment in 2011.
"Since that time, the residents of the area have changed, some of the services have changed. So we're updating that needs assessment to see if we're still on target to meet the needs of the community," Perryman said.
Over the next several months, the EBCC will conduct surveys as well as focus groups and community meetings with residents.
The assessment findings will be finalized by the end of the year and used by organizations to develop or enhance programs and services in the community.
Perryman said, ultimately, the goal is to break down barriers to success, such as those keeping East Biloxians from higher paying jobs.
"People who work in East Biloxi earn far less than people who live in other areas of Biloxi. A great deal of people who work and live in East Biloxi work in the service industry in entry level positions, and it's very difficult to meet household bills on minimum wage," she said.
However, she stressed the assessment won't just focus on the bad but will also bring light to the good of East Biloxi.
"There is a lot of culture and history in East Biloxi and pride, and we want to keep that intact. So we want to talk about the assets that are in East Biloxi as well," she said.
The group will host a kick off party for the assessment this Tuesday starting at 6 p.m. at Nichols Elementary School.
Every one is invited to attend to meet with the researchers who will be working on this project.

Nike aims sneaker subscriber scheme at $10 billion U.S. kids market
14th Aug 2019 | Source: reuters.com
Nike shoes are seen displayed at a sporting goods store in New York City, New York, U.S., May 14, 2019.
Nike Inc will launch a new subscription service for kids sneakers this week that seeks to woo parents with an offer of fewer nightmarish trips to the shoe store in exchange for a regular fee and consistent brand loyalty.
Aimed at the U.S. kids shoe market, estimated at an annual $10 billion, "Adventure Club" builds on Nike's SNKRS app, which notifies shoppers every time it launches a new shoe or has an exclusive sneaker at a nearby store.
It is Nike's latest plan to keep shoppers coming back to its brands as it struggles with strong competition from Adidas in its U.S. home market and a resurgence in retro brands like Fila and Reebok.
With three tiers of subscription – $20, $30 or $50 a month – Nike Adventure Club is aimed at 2-year to 10-year olds and effectively gives subscribers a new pair of Nike sneakers that cost about $50 or more once a month, once every two months or once every three.
Depending on whether the kids pick, for example, Nike Air Max or Converse sneakers, members will save almost nothing or up to $50 on each pair.
"Solving the need for parents with kids aged 2-10 years means that we are going to start building relationships through kids," the scheme's manager for Nike, Dave Cobban, said.
The big challenge, he admitted, was helping parents get the right shoe for kids with constantly growing feet without trips to the mall or a series of mailed returns.
Nike's subscription box will include a sizing chart in the form of a fridge magnet to help parents measure their children's feet. The company said a pilot program with 10,000 members has shown that only a small proportion of parents get the size wrong.
"About 15% of the first order is generally not the right size. When the (customer) makes the first order and it's the wrong size, we allow (the customer) to immediately order a new shoe and the new shoe comes before you have to send back the old one," he said.
"The next time less than 5% make a mistake in ordering the right size on their second order and after that, it almost comes (down) to zero."
Walmart Inc and Macy's are already using the subscription model for beauty products to keep consumers interested in a market that is flooded by online specialty retailers and Amazon.com Inc.

Positive Hack Days (PHD) is a well-known conference that is organized since 2011 by the company Positive Technologies. The PHD conference is held annually at Moscow and every year contains great talks and even greater CTF – Capture the Flag – challenges. One of the CTF challenges is called Hash Runner. This year Hash Runner was held during the last weekend. Hash Runner is a hands-on exercise where the participants are given the chance to test their skills at cracking passwords. Basically, there is a list of hashes available at the beginning of the contest. These hashes have been generated using a variety of algorithms and different password complexity schemes. It's the participants job to guess the password by only having the password representation that was produced using one of the algorithms. As soon as there is a match it should be submitted to the contest. Points will be given according to the difficulty/cost of computing such the algorithm that produced the hash. For example computing LANMAN, MD5 or SHA1 hashes will give you the less points. On the other hand, algorithms such as HMAC-PBKDF2-SHA512, Bcrypt or GOST-512 will give you the most points but they are very resource intensive to compute.
Anyone could take part of the CTF and join a team or participate alone. Of course if you are in a team you will have more chances to succeed. Every year teams such as Hashcat, InsidePro and John-Users – that are well known for their computing power and very smart people – participate to dispute the first place.
This year I had the chance to participate. Thanks to Aleksey Cherepanov and Solar Designer – Alexander Peslyak – for accepting me in John-Users team.
The attempt to recover a password just by knowing its encrypted representation can be made mainly using three techniques. Dictionary attacks, which is the fastest method and consists of comparing the dictionary word with the password hash. Another method is the brute force attack, which is the most powerful one but the time it takes to recover the password might render the attack unfeasible. This is of course dependable on the complexity of the password and the chosen algorithm. Finally there is the hybrid technique which consists of combining words in a dictionary with word mangling rules. This technique is one of the strengths of JtR. The only tool used by John-Users during the all contest.
The team with the biggest muscles have an advantage to win the competition due to the resources that they have at their disposal. Having a GPU monster like Brutalis will definitely help. However, brains are also important to find patterns and logic behind the password generation which will increase the likelihood to find passwords generated with demanding computing algorithms. Nonetheless, this year there were notable coding efforts that needed to be made to support different encoding formats, salts and algorithms. This adds excitement and an extra challenge to the competition. Here is where my skills lack however it was noteworthy to see throughout the all contest very smart people working extremely hard developing on-the-fly code to JtR.
In addition during the contest there were bonus hashes that will give you extra points. This bonus hashes will be available to the teams when they reach a certain threshold in their score – great to see the organizers adding this different levels to the contest format.
This type of events are very good to practice information security skills. In this particular case was great in order to understand and learn more about passwords, algorithms, John the Ripper and learn from experienced team members. Bottom line we got silver medal and Hashcat won gold – here the last scorecard.
Great fun, excellent learning exercise, great team!

Evercade announces the EXP (new Handheld)
By Romier S
May 31, 2022 in Video Games Discussion
Don't sleep on these Evercade products. I own the Evercade Vs and its a boss little retro machine. The carts are cheap and fun to collect and it has some nice video output options. The announcement of the Irem Arcade collection is also exciting!
There will be a black limited edition with a second collection:
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/evercade-is-getting-an-exp-upgrade-complete-with-irem-and-toaplan-collections
In addition to this base package, an Evercade EXP Limited Edition bundle will be available via Blaze's retail partner, Funstock. It will be a completely black console, and will include an exclusive hard carry case, art cards, poster, certificate of authenticity, keyring and "other fun extras" – but most exciting of all is the inclusion of a second collection packed with classic arcade titles from Japanese company Toaplan –
including Flying Shark, Alcon (Slap Shot), Tiger-Heli, Truxton, Zero Wing, Guardian, Snow Bros and Teki-Paki. This edition is limited to 5000 units. Pre-orders for this bundle open at 17:00 BST on June 1st, and it will cost £179.99.

I was interested in picking up an Evercade at some point. I think I may go with the EXP when it comes out.
I wish the Codemasters cartridge wasn't out of print.

They are still pretty easy to get. They are available for a little above retail.

I don't need a retro console. I don't. But Argos still have stock for £16.99, and that's tempting.

Of Codemasters? That link goes to the Oliver Twins collection (which I'd also want in fairness for all that Dizzy goodness).
Even at £120 though, I can't really convince myself to throw it at the console itself though I don't think.
Oh, I thought they were the same, since all the Oliver games were on Codies' label anyway; Aged Nerd that I am, BMX Simulator was the first game on the label, and still the one I associate with it, no matter how many Colin McRae games I buy.
Have just found the majestic wonder that is the correct one. I'm guessing it's all Megadrive versions rather than Amiga, but those are some great Sensible titles.

I am all over that C64 collection cartridge. They had me at the Movie Monster Game, everything else was just really good icing on a really tasty cake.
Wow, what a fantastic addition to the Evercade EXP! I'm kind of surprised that it wasn't included as a cartridge with the EXP since that's Evercade's bread and butter (and it doesn't sound like a separate cartridge will be available any time soon based on one of their responses in that Twitter thread). With my recent Steam Deck purchase, my purchase of an EXP is unfortunately put on hold indefinitely.
It's Evercade day….


Do you find, at times, that you jump to the wrong conclusions causing an inappropriate reaction before letting a conversation finish?
Do you find that those reactions are consistently having a negative effect on your relationships and communications with others?
Do you often believe that you are right without considering the possibility that there may be more for you to learn?
When you close your mind from empathizing, understanding, considering and/or acknowledging other points of view then you cut yourself off from your own evolution of personal growth. Not only does this prevent you from developing your soul but it stagnates your relations with others as they continue to grow and evolve with others that share their interests.
We all want to connect, we all want to be heard and we all want to be acknowledged.
When you disregard another person's feelings you are rejecting their right to have a voice, you are suppressing their concerns and most importantly you are negating their pain.
Respect is not only those around you (like the waiter, the clerk at the store or someone down on their luck) but the items you use in your daily life, everything is energy!
If you were to abuse your vehicle, an appliance or your home eventually they would begin to deteriorate. Nature and our environment thrive on the generosity of our respect, for it is all living energy that requires nurturing and without that becomes listless and dies, some damage irreversible.
Appreciation for every experience, lesson and opportunity can provide you with a renewed sense of insight. Not just the good but sometimes even the worst experiences lead us onto a better path and usually with a stronger of self and clarity. It may be that your purpose is connected to one of those experiences.
Lessons are also an essential part of life, not everything can be gained from the knowledge contained in books, first-hand experience is the best teacher you will ever have, sometimes not the most favorable but usually the most effective. All opportunities are gifts, ones that shouldn't be refused because they look like work or aren't as appealing to the eye as you'd like.
Gratitude (noun): the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Is gratitude something you do occasionally or how you live? Is your gratitude based only on what you receive from others or are you grateful for their mere presence in your life? Do you only at times offer the words to express that gratitude or is it something you believe is just known by those around you?
Without gratitude you lose the whole purpose of your journey, without respect you lose yourself.
You can't change what you don't acknowledge!

Astounding revelations about a hitherto unknown civilization which pre-dates the Ancient Egyptians — from a powerful team including the co-author of the bestseller The Hiram Key
This is the extraordinary story of how a quest to try to crack the mystery of the "Megalithic Yard" — an ancient unit of linear measurement — led to the discovery of compelling evidence pointing to the existence of an unknown, highly advanced culture which was the precursor to the earliest known civilizations. There must have been a Civilization One.
Hard facts that change history for ever:
The builders of the Stone Age monuments of the British Isles used a unit of length that was defined to one ten-thousandth of a millimeter
That unit is fundamental to the Sun, Moon, and Earth
The pound and the pint are derived from this prehistoric unit of length
There are 366 degrees to an Earth circle, not 360
The meter, kilo, and liter were in use over 4,000 years before the French "invented" them
The hour, minute, and second were developed more than two millennia before Christ—from the movements of the Moon
The further back in time all measurements are studied, the more they merge into one great system
"…one of the biggest breakthroughs of all time … this is the definitive proof that civilization is thousands of years older than historians believe." Colin Wilson

THE number of drivers caught in Canberra with alcohol or drugs in their system has already exceeded last year's numbers.
In the Territory in 2017 police charged 1029 people with drink driving and 472 with drug driving.
Officer in charge of traffic operations, acting station sergeant David Wills is disappointed to still see so many people arrested for impaired driving.
"The summer months bring a rise in parties, end of year celebrations and public holidays, but sadly we also see a rise in antisocial, illegal and potentially dangerous behaviour," he says.
"Broadly, there are still far too many people being charged with drink and drug driving offences, which tells us people still aren't getting the message when it comes to driving a vehicle while under the influence.
"If you drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs, you significantly increase the risk of causing a collision, potentially seriously injuring or killing yourself or someone else.

Cornificia (c. 85 BCc. 40 BC) was a Roman poet and writer of epigrams of the 1st century BC.

Life
Cornificia belongs to the last generation of the Roman Republic.

The daughter of Quintus Cornificius and the sister of the poet, praetor and augur Cornificius, Cornificia married a man called Camerius. Jane Stevenson has suggested that this may be the same Camerius who was a friend of the poet Catullus, mentioned in his poem 55.

The fact that Cornificia's brother became both a praetor and an augur indicates that the family was of considerable status. A praetor was a magistrate and/or military commander, while an augur was a priest whose task was to 'take the auspices', interpreting the will of the gods by studying the activities of birds.

The author Christine de Pisan references Cornificia in her book The Book of the City of Ladies (1405), stating that she had an aptitude for learning, particularly poetry and the sciences.

Work
All of Cornificia's work has been lost. Her reputation as a poet is based chiefly on the 4th century Chronicle of St Jerome (347–420 AD). In writing of her brother Cornificius, Jerome says: "Huius soror Cornificia, cuius insignia extant epigrammata" (His sister was Cornificia, whose distinguished epigrams survive). This must mean that her work was still being read some four hundred years after her death.

Cornificia is one of the 106 subjects of Giovanni Boccaccio's On Famous Women (De mulieribus claris, 1362 AD), which says of her:

The Renaissance humanist Laura Cereta wrote in a letter to Bibolo Semproni: "Add also Cornificia, the sister of the poet Cornificius, whose devotion to literature bore such a fruit that she was said to have been nurtured on the milk of the Castalian Muses and who wrote epigrams in which every phrase was graced with Heliconian flowers."

Monument
A monument to Cornificia and her brother survives in Rome, the inscription reading - CORNIFICIA Q. F. CAMERI Q. CORNIFICIUS Q. F. FRATER PR. AUGUR (Cornificia, the daughter of Quintus, wife of Camerius, [and] her brother Quintus Cornificius, Praetor and Augur).

The Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) wants to make a little extra cash by selling advertising space in a handful of its parking lots and garages. Community activists, who don't want billboards in their rowhouse neighborhoods, have other ideas.
The PPA's plans are several years in the making. In 2015, the state-run authority entered into an agreement with the Bayberry Media company to post signs in a handful of Center City garage properties. Earlier this year the Parking Authority and Bayberry Media began the process of expanding these advertisements into six neighborhood parking lots, but the Art Commission pumped the brakes on the first of these proposals and brought the effort to a halt.
Now local activists affiliated with the urbanist PAC 5th Square are trying to make sure the proposal doesn't start moving forward again.
Through a Right-To-Know request, 5th Square obtained nearly 150 pages of documents from PPA earlier this year. These include a map of 11 prospective locations under consideration in 2010, renderings of where the ads would be placed, and emails between the PPA and Bayberry Media (which promotes itself as: "the world leader in urban street level media").
Now the PPA plans to post 14 signs in six surface parking lots. These locations include one at 7th and Fitzwater streets in Bella Vista, one around the corner Jewelers' Row, two on Passyunk Avenue, and a lot behind the Parkway Central Branch of the Philadelphia Free Library.
The flash point, however, is the proposed signage at 1339 South 12th Street. A near neighbor to that South Philly lot, Dena Driscoll, is appealing the permit issued by the Department of Licenses and Inspections that would allow the billboards.
Driscoll said she fears ads for alcohol or junk food could adorn the parking lot on 12th Street, despite its presence across the street from a public park and its proximity to two schools. Driscoll said she walks past the lot with her kids every day and thinks the billboards, and those proposed for other neighborhoods, will be a public nuisance.
In January the Philadelphia Art Commission did not support the PPA's proposal for commercial signage. The commissioners were skeptical of the PPA's argument that because the South Philadelphia site previously sported advertising it therefore did not require a variance to place a new billboard there.
The PPA still holds that position.
The Department of Licenses and Inspections, for its part, says that the PPA's argument may not be correct, but that doesn't make new signs automatically illegal.
But Guss says they could be allowed to have an advertisement there now, because of Council President Darrell Clarke's municipal sign ordinance.
Driscoll also argues that it is illegal to place an advertisement within 200 feet of a park without approval of the Commission on Parks and Recreation.
According to the 2015 emails between PPA and Bayberry, each ad space would net the authority at least $200 per sign per month, with or without advertising, or 25 percent of the net revenue collected. All of the revenue generated will be directed to the authority's Off-Street Operations Department to maintain the properties in question. None would be allotted to the school district or to other uses.
As of January, there were 14 billboards in four Center City garages, producing $60,000 in 2017. There are 14 additional signs planned for the six neighborhood lots, which are projected to produce $140,000 annually.
"It's a bad process, considering how this would blight communities with no input from residents," says Jake Liefer, a 5th Square co-chair who filed the right-to-know request.
On Friday, 5th Square released an online petition against the ads. As of Monday evening, 639 people had signed. Driscoll's ZBA hearing is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on May 10.

Q: Choosing a relationship between two tables (SQLAlchemy) Consider two tables: User and Calculation.
Calculation's structure: {"id": <primary_key>, "array": <array of numbers>, "calculations": <array of all calculations for given array of numbers>}
User creates those calculations.
I want to be able to query for calculations associated with specific User. As far as I know, I need to have user reference on calculation model to do that.
Question is: is it possible to avoid changing Calculation structure by having User reference on Calculation model?
I was thinking about having an array field on User model with IDs of calculations. Is this a viable solution?

A: You can use ArrayField. You should create this field in your User model and you can fill it with IDs of Calculations. It would propably looks like this:
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import ArrayField
from django.db import models

class User(models.Model):
    calculations = ArrayField(models.IntegerField(blank=True),blank=True)

Of course you can change blank options, i wrote it just to show how you can use this for both fields.

Venezuela town issues own currency amid cash shortages
in Latin America
Venezuela crisis: Maduro loyalists take control of parliament
Amid an acute national shortage of banknotes, the town of Elorza in western Venezuela has started issuing its own paper currency.
Local officials said that the currency would make it easier for residents and visitors to trade during the town's festivities, which start on Monday.
They said rampant hyperinflation and a scarcity of bolivares, the national currency, had affected trade in Elorza.
The new currency can be bought at the mayor's office via bank transfer.
'Money doesn't flow'
The paper bills feature the face of independence hero José Andrés Elorza and, like the town, are named after him.
"People don't have bolivares to spend, that's why we have created bills of two denominations… and we've already sold 2bn bolivares worth," mayor Solfreddy Solórzano, from the governing PSUV party, said.
Local businessman Canuto García explained that the town came up with the idea after it noticed that at local festivities in nearby cities "money did not flow".
"Now those who want to buy just a sweet or even a whole cow from the barbecue, will be able to do so," the cattle breeder said.
Venezuela has the highest rate of inflation in the world. In the year to the end of February 2018, prices in Venezuela rose by more than 6,000%, according to an estimate by the opposition-dominated National Assembly.
Venezuelans have been set limits to the cash they pay out per person per day to 10,000 bolivares, which equates to less than five US cents on the black market.
On the black market, the 2bn bolivares worth of Elorzas sold by the local authorities are equivalent to just under $9,000.
Residents and visitors wanting to buy Elorzas can do so via bank transfer or debit card payment at the mayor's office, circumventing the need to carry wads of bolivares.
Refund offered
The local authorities charge 8% commission but say they will offer a refund for any unspent Elorzas. Traders can take their Elorzas to the mayor's office at the end of the day and have the equivalent in bolivares transferred into their accounts.
Elorza is not the first town in Venezuela to come up with the idea of printing its own money.
In December, the community of El Panal in Caracas launched paper notes called panales which could be exchanged for the rice which the community grows.
Critics of the government of President Nicolás Maduro blame Venezuela's rampant hyperinflation on currency controls brought in by the late President Hugo Chávez 15 years ago.
The government says an economic war waged by "imperialist" nations against Venezuela and hostile business people within the South American country are to blame as well as the smuggling of the currency to neighbouring Colombia.

Paris: "Are we going to allow the United States to be the economic policeman of the world? The answer is no", said the French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire as he openly challenged the United States. The US sanctions against Iran will directly affect companies from France and other European countries. He made a curious demand that the European Union should therefore, use the reserved funds to compensate these companies for their losses. The French Finance Minister seems to be making preparations to take on the United States using the reserve funds of the European Union.
The major countries in Europe viz. France, the United Kingdom and Germany made frantic efforts to stop the United States from withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear deal and imposing sanctions against Iran. But the United States, without paying any heed to their efforts, has imposed strict sanctions against Iran and has made preparations to the tighten the noose of these sanctions. In this situation, the French Finance Minister is trying to challenge the United States by the use of such language and has demanded the European Union should use its reserve funds to compensate the losses that the European companies have incurred because of the sanctions imposed by the United States. The French Finance Minister has reminded the EU that the United States had imposed sanctions against Cuba in 1996 and the European nations had forced the United States to withdraw those sanctions with their strong opposition.
The French Finance Minister appealed to adopt an aggressive stance against the United States by stating that the same could be repeated today. In fact, when the French economy itself is not doing well at present, Minister Bruno Le Maire's challenge to the United States on the basis of the coffers of the European Union seems ludicrous. The European Union has proved time and again that it is incapable of solving the financial difficulties of its own member countries. Even an economically powerful country like Germany had conceded its incapability in this matter. On this background, the financial gallantry shown by the French Finance Minister seems only like borrowed courage.

Exhale: Magic Johnson's Aspire Network Launches New Talk Show Series
by Jacqueline J. Holness
The hosts of Magic Johnson's new talk show, Exhale. From left to right: Angela Burt-Murray, Erin Jackson, Issa Rae, Rene Syler and Malinda Williams. (Photo courtesy of Jacqueline Holness).
Just a few years ago Rene Syler was at a crossroads in her life. She had lost her lucrative position as an anchor for CBS' "The Early Show," which is now defunct. She had a preventive mastectomy as the daughter of two breast cancer survivors. And she lost her hair after a bad relaxer. (Talk about black girl blues!) However, she turned a corner in her journey when she wrote "Good Enough Mother: The Perfectly Imperfect Book of Parenting" in March 2007 and created her website www.goodenoughmother.com from the book. From there, she nurtured her online presence through blogging and social media. Eventually Magic Johnson's new network ASPiRE, launched a year ago today, took notice and asked her and four other African-American women (Journalist Angela Burt-Murray, Actress Malinda Williams, Comedian Erin Jackson and Writer/Actress Issa Rae) to be the hosts of its first original weekly talk show series "Exhale." The eight-episode show debuted last night at 8 p.m. EDT. After the premiere, new episodes will begin July 10 in its regularly scheduled time slot on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT.
I spoke with Rene at the Atlanta premiere for the groundbreaking television show. "I think the biggest lesson I learned is that I took an untenable situation and made something of it," Rene said. "I realized I had to save myself and have a career rebirth. I'm excited, energized and looking forward to the next chapter in my reinvention."
I, along with other media professionals, bloggers and members of the entertainment community in Atlanta where the new network is based, were invited to watch the first episode which featured guests Judge Lynn Toler, host of "Divorce Court," actress Tichina Arnold who starred in the hilarious "Everybody Hates Chris," Celebrity Matchmaker Jasmine Diaz and Dr. Nicole LaBeach, a life coach.
From this first episode, which focused on relationships (a topic always guaranteed to get women talking like no other), I learned that each woman brought a unique and interesting perspective to the talk show. Actress Malinda Williams, who I adored in "The Wood," interviewed Judge Toler about divorce as Malinda revealed she is a two-time divorcée. During the interview, Judge Toler talked about how her television. program prevented her own marriage from ending. I spoke with Malinda as well. "I'm an actress, mother, sister and friend and so I bring those points of view and perspective. People may see me as a celebrity, but I'm just like everyone else."
Also during the first show Issa Rae, the witty and sharp creator of her awesome web series "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl" lamented about her belief that black women and Asian men are the bottom of the dating totem pole to the laughter of the audience. As the lone member of the cast under 30 years old, she is able to offer the 20-something angle. "Since I am from a different generation, I have a different viewpoint. I'm here to learn."
As a journalist, I am familiar with Angela Burt-Murray, a former editor-in-chief of ESSENCE magazine and now creator of CocoaFab.com, which features celebrity interviews and urban pop culture stories. Although Angela said she is typically guarded about her personal life, she disclosed during the first episode that she and her husband have been to therapy for marital issues. "For 15 years, I have been telling the stories of African-American women and now I have a different platform to tell their stories."
Comedian Erin Jackson was also tapped to be a co-host on "Exhale." Interracial dating was a topic of discussion during the first episode. Erin said that she dated a Hispanic man, NOT a white man (as many typically assume that an interracial couple is a black person and a white person). "Since I'm a stand-up comedian, I bring a lot of sarcasm and my 'mom eyes' although I'm not a mother," Erin said with a laugh as she widened her eyes for me to see.
Aside from relationships, the women will also discuss other issues that elicit and warrant in-depth conversation. From HIV/AIDS in the black community to the objectification of black women, the show promises to deliver a diverse amount of content. In the faith and religion episode, they will speak with DeVon Franklin, Columbia Pictures executive and "Produced By Faith" author, R&B artist Kelly Price, Pastor Beverly Crawford and Dr. Sikivu Hutchinson, atheist and author of "Moral Combat: Black Atheists, Gender Politics and The Value Wars." Controversies such as homosexuality in the black church and the increasing number of black atheists will be conversation topics.
As a talk show connoisseur who cut her teeth on the long-running "The Phil Donahue Show," "The Jenny Jones Show" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show," I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the show and the mix of personalities hosting "Exhale." When I first heard of the show, I wondered if the show would be a "'The View'- esque" type of show, but other than multiple women hosting the show, the show is markedly different. This talk show offers FIVE BLACK but varied vantage points.
"Exhale" Executive Producer Lynne Robinson said, "'Exhale' is a show that features five amazing hosts, who will open up and talk about everything that is on the minds of women today. In each episode, they share intimate, spirited and honest dialogue to make you laugh and sometimes make you cry. We are thrilled to bring these provocative, enlightening conversations with these dynamic women in a compelling new series to life on ASPiRE."

Ladies and Guest on Ex hail' if you would study the Holy Word of God as He command us to in 11Timothy 2 verses 1, and many other areas of the Holy Bible' you would not be so uninformed.
No one learns anything unless they spend time to be knowledgeable in that area or and topic of discussion… Yourselves among many individuals say the same thing about church going and why… You must develop a deeper relationship with God Most in /through Christ Jesus our Lord /Savior. But in doing this, researching you may be pulled on by the Holy Spirit of God to be used in a way that would pull you away from a life of the way the world opporates. And that presents a problem for individuals that are just not ready to give up so much secular living in their lives…
I'm watching your show Ex hail on Wednesday-July 31, 2013. The female that condems God and His Holy Trinity is just what she said : and you all knew this. Her conversation/words proved she's smart but crazy too.. So what was your purpose and what were you trying to display? Really' seriously, her being a guest on your show didn't complete your format; but actually made it looked
and /sound as though you have a lot of uncertainty concerning God/Jesus. I'm not judging: but you must be very carefull what you entertain. This walk of Christianity s not as hard as you or and the woman / atheist that display much delusion"… Many Pastors,etc.. have written books that became best sellers and invested well… But as usual" too many of these men, in Pulpits are actually just as your discussion stated' tore up and need to be sat down… If you knew what I know you .. I want you to know that you are not judgment mental , you just don't understand so much… There are many Jewish people that believe the Old and New Testaments! See" if you would read and study your Holy Bible , you would understand that before our Lord Jesus returns, this will happen… Ladies you have to do more research, studying, gather different information in order to tell the whole truth… At it's best your show only informed me about where you may or may not be.
And that wasn't bad: its just that you don't have enough good information to portray the bad worst of what's going on in church houses.. There is No such thing as Homophobia in God's Holy Word..
Everything in and on this earth is a creation of God Most High" but every human being is not a child
of God…. read/study gather other Holy Bibles that you can understand; also you must purchase a very good Concordance.. So that you won't get confused.. Remember this is the Almighty Holy Word Of God the creator of all things… no matter what… You also have been very misinformed about some things… When you don't have a complete understanding its better that you just ask questions, connections with Scholars of our Salvation and Religion…. See you didn't know that two different entities of this Awesome Gospel of our Lord King Jesus Christ…

« Gucci Première Eau de Toilette Celebrates Your "Champagne Moments" (2014) {New Perfume} | Home | Nuxe Body Relaxing Fragrant Water - Skin in the City (2014) {Perfume Review} »
Friday, 25 July 2014 By Chant Wagner
Serge Lutens L'Orpheline (2014) - On Motherly Love In Absentia & Anger {Perfume Review & Musings}
L'Orpheline, a feminine name, edges masculine from the onset. There are flashes of masculinity glimmering in the darkness of the fragrance only contradicted by powdery nuances. After a while, the powder trail turns into a sueded sensation...
This is not one of the more surprising Serge Lutenses. It does not shock nor awe. It is a subtle and even classic perfume in the lineage of the plum fest Boss Bottled and the iris ode Dior Homme only with more glowing plums and a stronger helping of spices.
Where l'Orpheline is a stronger brew than average is in the calculated intensity of the red hot fire of the spices - cloves especially. What is called "carnation" in perfumery has been transformed into a Ras el Hanout holding boxing gloves, to allude to an earlier composition by Serge lutens and Christopher Sheldrake, Boxeuses. It shows once more Lutens' fascination for olfactory punching. With Tubéreuse Criminelle the punch on the bridge of the nose gets delivered in the first round; with l'Orpheline, it does not happen before the second round, and there is for a time a sense of crescendo aggression.
Serge Lutens is angry, you think, because he prefers to feel anger rather than depression. The name of the fragrance is, you surmise, the name given to his alter ego: the feminine "him" which enables him to avoid using the term "L'Orphelin" on the bottle label. There is too much pain and truth in this memory - and too much self-pity. If you smell l'Orpheline with this idea of a childhood trauma which Lutens recounted several times, you are no longer registering fragrance notes, but a deep expression of anger and angst which prefers to keep emotions confused and dark so as not to see too clearly in them.
This brew in turmoil reminds you of a story once told to you, a true life story, of a man who got abandoned by his mother when he was seven in the middle of a snowy, bustling Christmas market. The last time he felt his mother was through the touch of her hand holding his, and then she let go of him in the crowd. He was only able to tell his family for the first time when he was past fifty. The pain was too great to tell how he became an orphan, not by destiny, but by choice. A mother abandonment of her son is, you can believe it, one of the most soul and heart reaping experiences a human being can be subjected too, and a child at that. It's unspeakable.
L'Orpheline is about anger and a despair without end contained in a bottle of perfume. It has not exploded. It's been modulated, infinitely. This is one of its expressions. The only end in sight is death, a notion triggered by the scent of stony cold and damp patchouli reminding you of the tombstone fragrance of De Profundis.


Through confirmed reports, Chicago detectives are currently interrogating two people who have been positively identified as the same people that were seen on the surveillance photos that were released last week by the Chicago Police Department.
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed that these two individuals were in the area of downtown Chicago where the Empire actor was allegedly attacked, but these men are not considered suspects, however, they may have been in the area when Smollett was attacked.
The attack was not captured on surveillance footage.
36-year old Smollett, who is Black and openly gay, said two masked men shouted racial and homophobic slurs before attacking him and putting a rope around his neck around 2 a.m. on Jan. 29.
Smollett told Good Morning America in an interview that aired earlier Thursday that people who question his narrative of the attack were "ridiculous" to think he would lie. Smollett has said he was attacked while out getting food at a Subway restaurant.
The investigation is pending and ongoing. TheSource.com will update this story as it develops.


Clarkson's debut full-length, Thankful, was released in spring ofjust in time to coincide with the second season of American Idol and right before the American Idol movie, From Justin to Kelly. This marked her third number one album and first since In addition to the show's prize of one million dollars and a recording contract with RCA, Clarkson secured a deal with Creative Artists Agency and several bookings, including the national American Idol tour and a performance of the national anthem at the September 11 commemoration at Washington, D.
In September of that year, Clarkson released "Love So Soft," the lead single from her forthcoming eighth studio album, Meaning of Life, which was expected in October.
Her fifth studio effort, the album featured the single "Mr. Clarkson continued her busy touring schedule into the summer and announced plans for her third album.
One of the show's most naturally gifted singers, the affable Texan then went on to enjoy a successful pop career, with only Carrie Underwood rivaling her as American Idol's most commercial export. Eventually, she collaborated with a handful of writers and producers, including Claude Kelly and Howard Benson, as well as Jason Halbert, Rodney Jerkins, and others.
The leadoff single "Never Again" nevertheless became a Top Ten pop hit, and My December climbed its way to platinum status by the year's end.
However, label exec Clive Davis openly disapproved of the album's direction, claiming that it lacked the commercial appeal of Breakaway. The first single, "Heartbeat Song," appeared in January and, a few months later, Piece by Piece debuted atop the Billboard Clarkson spent much of recording her next LP with producer Greg Kurstin.
