The Very Human Problem Blocking the Path to Self-Driving Cars
Alex Davies
New opportunities and unexpected problems are driving big automakers to reconsider how they approach autonomy.
It was a game of Dots that pushed Erik Coelingh to rethink his entire approach to self-driving cars. Coelingh, Volvo's head of safety and driver assist technologies, was in a simulator, iPad in hand, swiping this way and that as the "car" drove itself, when he hear an alert telling him to take the wheel. He found the timing less than opportune.
"They gave the message when I was close to getting a high score," he says. Jolted away from the absorbing task, he had no idea of what was happening on the "road," or how to handle it. "I just realized," he says, "it's not so easy to put the game away."
The experience helped confirm a thesis Coelingh and Volvo had been testing: A car with any level of autonomy that relies upon a human to save the day in an emergency poses almost insurmountable engineering, design, and safety challenges, simply because humans are for the most part horrible backups. They are inattentive, easily distracted, and slow to respond. "That problem's just too difficult," Coelingh says.
And so Volvo, and a growing number of automakers, are taking you out of the equation entirely. Instead of developing autonomous vehicles that do their thing under most circumstances but rely upon you take the wheel in an emergency---something regulators call Level 3 autonomous capability---they're going straight to full autonomy where you're simply along the ride.
Google figured this out around 2012, when it decided that full autonomy---no steering wheel, no pedals, no human backup---was the best way forward. Almost everyone else has embraced this way of thinking, abandoning the step-by-step approach and promising to begin launching fully robotic cars within a few years. The shift came as automakers recognized the difficulty of the "handoff"---getting the person behind the wheel to take control at a moment's notice.
Automakers also saw only incremental improvements in safety, convenience, and value by advancing from Level 2 autonomy---cars that can keep their lane and handle rush-hour gridlock---to more sophisticated systems that still require human intervention. Going straight to levels 4 and 5 and offering a fully autonomous vehicle creates new markets, and new opportunities to challenge the likes of Uber and Google.
The Handoff Conundrum
It should be noted that these designations, defined by SAE International, are are squidgy, and don't directly correlate to specific vehicles automakers are developing. For the sake of this discussion, Level 3 autonomy defines cars capable of basic decision-making like when to change lanes or pass other vehicles. The human at the wheel can check out entirely to, say, play an iPad game, but must be ready to take control if something goes amiss---a sensor fails, for example, or the car's map doesn't quite match the terrain.
Level 3 seems like a natural evolution of the tech you find in Tesla's Autopilot, which demands vigilance even if not everybody obeys. More work for the robot, less for the human. But it's a Herculean challenge for engineers and designers. "Having a human there to resume control is very difficult," says Bryan Reimer, an MIT researcher who studies driving behavior. Once relieved of the burden of constantly paying attention, people are quick to lose focus, and getting them back on task is difficult. Imagine you're watching the final moments of The Shining when someone suddenly turns on the light and tosses you a Rubik's cube. How quickly could you register what's happening, let alone attempt to solve the puzzle? Now you see the challenge of the handoff.
To make Level 3 work, the car must verify its human hasn't, say, dozed off or strapped a VR headset to his face. This involves installing cameras and sensors to monitor things like head position and gaze direction. It means providing visual, aural, and haptic alerts to get the person's attention. And it requires making absolutely sure the autonomous technology is robust and sophisticated enough to handle any situation for the 5 to 10 seconds needed to for the human to realize what's happening and take control.
Simply put, solving this problem is almost as difficult as figuring out how to make cars drive themselves. That's why Google---whose autonomous effort is now called Waymo---almost immediately abandoned any thought of building anything but a fully autonomous car. It started with a system that could handle highway driving with human oversight. Google's engineers soon realized those humans were lulled into paying zero attention, and that they were all but useless in such circumstances. So they started pursuing full autonomy.

A tech company like Google or Uber can go for the moonshot, but automakers tend to be more conservative. They prefer small steps, gradually refining and introducing new technology to prepare consumers for the changes ahead. And so most of them planned to progress steadily through the ranks of Level 2, 3, and so forth. Ford was among the first to break ranks, announcing in late 2015 that it would skip Level 3. "We're really focused on completing the work to fully take the driver out of the loop," Ken Washington, the automaker's head of research and advanced engineering, said at the time.
Beyond being difficult to achieve, Level 3 autonomy is difficult to justify. If every car on the road featured Level 2 capabilities, fatal automobile collisions would drop by 80 percent, according to Delphi, one of the world's largest automotive industry suppliers. Level 3 doesn't advance the ball much further, so why bother? Full autonomy, on the other hand, brings safety improvements while also bringing mobility to people who cannot drive, automating deliveries, and creating other opportunities.
The Money Question
Still, any automaker willing to throw enough time, money, and engineers at the problem can solve the Level 3 conundrum. Audi has all of those things in great quantity and plans to bring Level 3 capability to its flagship A8 sedan in 2018. The car will handle stop-and-go traffic to start, with highway capabilities to follow. Audi, which offers some of the best user interfaces in the business, has spent many years and many dollars studying the handoff, which it considers a top priority. Its solution, while not yet complete, will include driver monitoring systems and a combination of alerts the human will see, hear, and feel.
Still, even Audi sees the future, and so it is quietly pursuing a parallel track toward full autonomy. Like everyone else in the industry, it sees new markets and new competitors in a game that is rapidly changing. Car-sharing and other alternatives to ownership are growing increasingly popular, and upstarts like Uber see an opportunity to push established players aside. That's why Ford, which more than any other outfit made automobiles ubiquitous, is rebranding itself as a "mobility" company and General Motors is buying robo-car startups and working with Lyft to develop an autonomous ridesharing network.
It is difficult to overstate the impact Uber and Lyft have had on this. The financial allure of ridesharing services that don't rely upon human drivers has changed the calculus. "It's an arms race to provide the mobility on demand," says Delphi CTO Jeff Owens.
Uber wants to drop the human chauffeurs who gobble up the majority of its customers' fares. Google could free up time in the car for riders to use its other services. Cities who host these fleets of robo-cars get a new way to tackle costly congestion and free up parking spaces for other uses. And the automakers---Ford, GM, BMW, and others---might slice off their chunk of an industry whose potential value Boston Consulting Group pegs at $42 billion a year by 2025.
But none of that works until they take you entirely out of the picture---and let you finally get that Dots high score.

Does social media really make us bad people?
Amit KhannaMay 29, 2018 | 12:03
Humans, by nature, have loved to communicate and share stories and views since the beginning of time. Who would have thought even 20 years ago that email and social media will, in such a short span of time, become the most widely used means of communication in history?
Today, there are close to three billion people hooked on to at least one social media application. Social media was possible with the introduction of Web 2.0 0r Semantic Web (of course, now we are in the midst of Web 3.0(Institutive Web), which is to say that it is founded on the concept of a user-driven, interactive web.
Blogs, message boards and chat rooms provide an experience that could be described as social media, but the term is more strongly identified with sites like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Whats App, Tumblr, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, We Chat, Hike and so on. Over time, the meaning of social media constantly changes according to what the person using it wants it to mean.
Although blogging may not seem like social media, the term fits because users were suddenly able to communicate with a blog-other as it were instantly as well as other readers.
The term "blog" is an abbreviation of "Weblog" which was coined by Jorn Barger, editor of the site Robot Wisdom.
Everyone uses social media to reach out for work or trade.
The first social media website was Six Degrees, which existed from 1997 to 2001. I remember speaking at a conference in Mumbai and talking of blogs around 2006, and people laughed and said I was imagining a world far away. This when YouTube had already been launched. Six Degrees allowed users to create a profile and then befriend other users.
By the 1980s, home computers were becoming more common and social media was becoming more sophisticated. Internet relay chats, or IRCs, were first used in 1988 and continued to be popular well into the 1990s.
Sites like MySpace and LinkedIn gained prominence in the early 2000s, and sites like Flickr facilitated online photo sharing.
YouTube came out in 2005, creating an entirely new way for people to communicate and share with each other across great distances. YouTube also, for the first time, gave creative people, activists, evangelists and gurus, and even politicians a democratic, wide and inexpensive platform to connect with millions around the world.
Today, virtually everyone who has a mobile phone even in the remotest part of the world is sure to be connected to some social network. Never before have billions of people across geographies, nationalities, caste, creed or financial status been connected to this extent. Information, communication and entertainment are today truly democratic and accessible to all.
In spite of sporadic attempts by various governments to muzzle this unique medium of mass contact and connect, nothing has stopped human ingenuity from reaching out to a specific or diverse audience. With the rapid spread of wireless technology and broadband speeds, social media is fast becoming the fountainhead of news and information.
In India alone there are more than 260 million users of various social media. Of this, Facebook alone has 240 million users, followed by WhatsApp at 200 million users, and Twitter and Instagram at around 50 million and others like Snapchat, WeChat et al. Together, they would make up around 100 million users.Obviously, there is a substantial overlap between the users but clearly, Facebook and Whats App are the dominant ones. So far so good.
However, if there are several advantages of social media, there are enough disadvantages too. Let's look at some positive aspects .The coming of Satellite, mobile and internet made communication between all humans possible.
In recent years, even the so-called digital divide (between connected and unconnected people) has also been reduced to a minority. Social media has enabled us to form virtual communities and share information with family and friends, and even form new virtual relationships.
I remember the early days of Facebook, which allowed me to rediscover long lost friends after decades. Families separated by distance get together at least virtually on the net. Social media helped bring about social change too. The poor were not alone. Suddenly, their voice was reachable to people that matter.
Often, many incidents of social transformation including government apathy, bureaucratic delays, employee exploitation came to light because of these instant messaging services.
These applications came in handy during emergencies (blood, even organ donors were located and contacted). In many parts of the world, political change has been hastened through social media. Many get all their news from instant messaging now. During natural disasters, accidents and personal crises, it is to social media we first look for help.
From large businesses to an ordinary farmer selling his produce to artisans, to craftsmen, hawkers and neighbourhood shops, to domestic helps, everyone uses social media to reach out for work or trade. Specific interest groups in various fields, alumni, and colleagues are all much together today. Family groups keep you updated about relatives with whom you would not otherwise be in touch. Information, knowledge and recreation are all better with social media.
However, there are several issues that we have come to face.
Bilal Ahmed, a tech and social media blogger, lists some of these. Cyber bulling, addiction, frauds, scams, hacking, health and security. However, I think the predominant fall out of social media is the spread of misinformation and divineness.
Millions of people report or forward messages or information, including news that is not verified and often partisan. Terrorists are known to use these apps to communicate with each other or spread panic using them. This is especially dangerous in case of often-wrong medical advice or false news of communal flare-ups. Opinions are spread as facts and personal biases are conveyed as the only option. Rumours and propaganda are widely disseminated among the innocent and gullible. Even as social media brings people together, it divides them.
It is creating a binary in the society. Unfortunately, this divisiveness is not one-sided. If one side is bigoted and fanatical, the other is bitterly partisan and equally hateful.
The amount of bitterness, which different sections have for each other, is clearly visible on Twitter, Facebook, Whats App and other such groups. If BJP supporters accuse those who do not subscribe to their views (and even threaten in some cases) as anti-national, anti-Hindu etc al, Modi haters are no less in spewing their hate for BJP and find Modi responsible for all the problems facing Indians.
I have often explained to friends that if I am supporting the government on any issue, it is based on my perception of the situation; but I am dismissed as being a closet Sanghi. If one side is insidious, the other is perfidious. Bye bye bi-partisanship.
According to media research foundation Niemen Lab: "The primary vector for the spread of misinformation in India is WhatsApp. The instant messenger is fast, free, and runs on nearly all of India's 300 million smartphones. It's also encrypted end-to-end, which means it's nearly impossible to track what flows through it. Its real-world ramifications, nonetheless, can be brutal." -
In fact, look at the invention of search engines and the ubiquitous reach of Google altered journalism and news. Everyone has become an authority on every subject. Now, with access to a lot of this unverified or doctored information, we want to drive political debate and development. In this world of algorithmic computing and bots, what is termed as fake news is rampant across social media. Imagine we are only in the early stages of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and very soon the whole web will be automated.
Fake news is not new, but it has become a hot topic in 2017.
For centuries, we got our news from sources we believed and trusted. In this Google era, research is limited to a few clicks and with digital manipulation we can literally manufacture news.
In any case we live in a world of alternative realities where the mind sees what we would like it to see. Slicing and dicing data (misconstrued as facts) from your perspective, you tell a story about incidents, people, history, society and so on.
With everyone wearing coloured glasses of their choice, the information shared on social media becomes the truth, or so we would like to believe. A general lack of understanding about how the internet works is conveniently passed around.
It is estimated 50 per cent of all forwards on Whats App for example are fake or false.
In a recent article on media literacy, Hugh Lineman noted: "Media is no longer passively consumed - it's created, shared, liked, commented on, attacked and defended in all sorts of different ways by hundreds of millions of people. And the algorithms used by the most powerful tech companies -particular - are brilliantly designed to personalise and tailor these services to each user's profile."
At a time when a vast majority of people are glued to their phones (three-four hours a day), much of their time is spent on social media sites. There is a need for us to understand the perils of the medium. Not only are people being alienated, they are suffering from psychological damage and other illnesses like attention deficit disorder. Like gaming and gambling overuse requires therapy so does over dependence on social apps. Journalists, commentators, doctors and even politicians and we the users all have to work out a new digital ethic and discipline.
There is talk of regulating social media, which is not a good idea because it will give way to more devious use of the internet to communicate.
There are studies (I have also written about it) that social media as a tool of political communication is losing its efficacy. Trolling for example is now frowned upon by users. Besides, important digital companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, Twitter, Microsoft are using AI to filter out fake messages. We need to reequip ourselves differently for this new age.
As an expert puts it, "The vast amount of information available online and rise in fake news highlights the need for critical thinking. Children need to develop critical thinking from an early age. This is a key skill for young people to develop as they enter into third level education and prepare themselves for the workplace."

The UK government has continued to ramp up its purchase and consumption of English and Welsh wine, which made up 57% of the wine drunk at official receptions in the year to March, a new report shows.
The Government Hospitality Wine Cellar has been self-funding since 2011/12, raising money for new purchases by selling off fine wine and receiving payments from government departments.
The seventh Annual Report, released by Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan, reveals that the cellar sold £50,600-worth of stock to Farr Vintners during the year – all of it red Bordeaux and including vintages of Châteaux Lafite-Rothschild, Haut-Brion, La Fleur Pétrus, Batailley and Gruaud-Larose.
It purchased stock worth £56,976 (excluding VAT), 64% of it English or Welsh wine, with the highest-volume purchases 120 cases of Chapel Down Bacchus and 80 cases of Allegrini Valpolicella 2016 – in both cases, wine used at government receptions. The cellar also received £26,494 in payments from other government departments.
Other purchases included 900 bottles of English or Welsh sparkling wine, just over 500 bottles of English still wine, as well as wines from Australia, Canada, Champagne, New Zealand and South Africa – plus 18 bottles of gin to partially replace the 28 bottles consumed during the year.
Some 57% of the wine consumed at official functions was English or Welsh – up from 52% in 2016/17, while overall consumption was up by 20% to almost 4,000 bottles of wine and spirits due, Sir Alan said, to 'an increased number of larger events'.
Just over a decade ago, English and Welsh wine made up only 20% of the wines served at official events, leading to accusations that the government was failing to support its own wine industry.
While the Foreign & Commenwealth Office (FCO) has worked to redress the balance since then, less seems to have been done to support Scotch whisky – a multi-billion-pound export industry.
The report reveals that the equivalent of only one bottle of Scotch was consumed at official events last year – half a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and half a bottle of Caol Ila 18 Year Old – and that more Cognac was consumed during the year.

There are a number of border crossings in today's Gospel lesson. As I mentioned last week, Jesus crossed the See of Galilee twice during this part of the story according to Mark. Jesus ministered on both sides of this fresh water lake called the Galilean Sea, on the western Jewish shore and on the eastern Gentile shore. On both sides, Christ blesses without partiality to Jew and Gentile, near and far, clean and unclean.
Then, settling on the Jewish side for a while, he heals a woman who has a disease that has caused her to bleed for 12 years and he does this on the way to raise from the dead a 12 year old child.
But let's back up to the Gentile side of the sea for a minute. Just prior to this story is the story of Jesus casting the swine into the sea. That miracle happened on the other side of the sea, where the Gentiles had such appalling (to the Jews) things a pig farms. Jesus overcame the power of the sea in last week's lesson during the first crossing. I reminded you then that the sea was believed to be full of evil things like demons and monsters and Jesus overcomes even the fear of such things. Then he exorcises a man possessed by many demons and casts the demons into the pigs and then casts the pigs into the sea.
It seems Jesus is setting things straight. Everything in it's place. He is separating good and evil in the same way God parted the Red Sea. But the Jews and the Gentiles are meant to come together, not stay separated. Jesus means to abolish that sort of border that separates.
But more than just borders get crossed here. On the Jewish side of the sea, social factors are challenged as well. Jesus who ministered among foreigners is here among his own people moving across religious and social barriers to offer God's healing and restoring grace. This, says Mark, is not simply the church's belief about Jesus, but the warrant, in fact the mandate, for the Church's behavior toward all persons.
There's one cartoon that I remember that is an exampe of all the many encounters between these two. It's a Western. I can't remember the set up or how they ended up on main street of Doge City at Noon for a show down but Yosemite Same has Bugs toe to toe and two loaded six shooters pointed at the rabbit who has not weapon but his wit.
Y: "Start walking you dog-gone, long-eared, galute!
Yosemite steps over the line that Bugs had drawn in the sand with his toe still pointing both pistol at Bug's chest.
This interchange continues as the two, Bugs backing and drawing lines with his toe, Yosemite following and repeating, "I'm a steppin'" as he obediently follows the clever rabbit until, having gone through the dessert they come to a cliff and the final line is crossed leaving Yosemite yelling "dag-nab-it" as he falls into the abyss.
It's funny. And it's not.
Most other preachers out there today are talking about borders and the border crisis down in Texas that has captivated the world these past few weeks.
So, I don't want to talk about borders.
I want to talk about fear and trembling. Our fear and trembling.
Here's the catch from this passage from this section of the Gospel according to St. Mark. Jarius approached Jesus in prostration, that is, by "throwing himself down" before Jesus. This is a universal sign of utmost submission and would be a rare gesture from this high ranking leader of the synagogue.
She had been bleeding for twelve years. Her condition rendered her ritually unclean — not just for a day or a week or a month, but indefinitely. She could not enter the Temple, the heart and soul of her religious community. She could not touch or be touched by anyone without rendering them unclean, too. By the time she approached Jesus, she had spent every penny she owned, and "endured much under many physicians" to find relief, but her bleeding had only worsened. The woman's very body — its femaleness, its porousness — had become a source of isolation and disgrace. She was an outcast, an embarrassment, a pariah. Lonely beyond description.
And so this state of being might have remained if the woman hadn't — in a desperate and stunning act of civil disobedience — defied the religious rules of her day to pursue an encounter with Jesus. She knew she had no business polluting the crowds with her presence. She knew she was forbidden to touch any man, least of all Jesus. She knew that even her fingertips on his cloak would defile him. She decided to touch him, anyway.
But first she fell at his feet in fear and trembling. This sort of submission to God is what's missing in our world.
Now, I'm preaching to the choir because if you are hearing this sermon, you are sitting in a pew on a Sunday morning trying to stay and willing to submit. But I've been very concerned lately about all those folks who have left the church or say they still belong but never attend.
How can we be the church if we don't meet and pray together regularly?
It seems to me that our culture has become obsessed with arrogance. Just look around and listen to the news or see a movie or read a book or chat with strangers in a store and you will find a certain trend toward arrogance. Everyone is an expert. Everyone seems to feel as though they are right and anyone who opposes them is wrong. Everyone seems quick to defend their opinions as well. There are many lines being drawn in the sand all around us.
This destitute, desperate and ill woman who worked her way stealthily through the crowd and reached out to touch Jesus and then was hailed by Jesus as an example of the kind of faith we are to have. Unassuming, reverent but certain of only one thing, the power of God in Christ to heal us. If we're caught up in following the arrogances of the world we are apt to miss such opportunities.
There is another thing these two encounters with Jesus share. They are both daughters.
The little girl was Jarius' daughter but represents the offspring of the Jews, the next generation. The unnamed ill woman whom he called daughter was an outcast because of the law. The law said that she was unclean because of her hemorrhaging and so she was abandoned, destitute and alone. One a princess, the other an untouchable. Both daughters. Again, Jesus is abolishing unjust borders.
We all want to follow Jesus, right? Well, how then can we become daughters and sons of God?
Of all the characters I might think of as an anecdote to this point, I keep coming back to Ebenezer Scrooge. One reason, I think, is that I like to tell Christmas stories during the summer. Just to get a fresh perspective.
I think Scrooge was a Christmas story mostly because of the feast of the Incarnation. I think Dickens was playing with the gift giving part of Christmas too. Scrooge was given a great gift in being forced to his knees in fear and trembling by the ghosts who visited him that Christmas Eve and in so doing, he got a fresh perspective on his own life.
Looking up from a lowered position often does that for you.
Scrooge became aware from that place of fear and trembling that isolation and obsession with money had caused him great loss and pain. But it took some kneeling to realize this.
These stories are healing stories. Some of us were laughing yesterday about the many ways our bodies have started to fail us. Many of us physically can't kneel any more, or touch the floor or do jumping jacks. Even the youngest among us grow weak after working or exercising. I'm not suggesting that we take this lesson to mean we should all pray for perfect bodies. While physical miracles of healing still happen everyday, getting envious of this woman who was healed of a 12 year illness is missing the point.
The point is to have the sort of faith she had, bold, yes, but also submissive. The power is from the Lord. Ours is not to know how or why. We only can know that this power is a power of love that is given freely for us if we only accept it.
But first we need to bow before him.
So, we can gain the whole world if we learn to humble ourselves before our God. If we learn to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, then we too can be healed in the ways we need healing, and we can begin to see more clearly and to act more graciously.
And we can begin to live again.

SV Staff | Apr 25, 2019
With more than a billion users and 2 billion views a day, YouTube is a force to be reckoned with but its humble beginnings gave no hint of what was to come.
Fourteen years ago this week (April 23, 2005), Jawed Karim uploaded the first video to the video-sharing website he and his partners Chad Hurley and Steve Chen had just created.
The video (below) was a prolific work that would stand the test of time. Uh, actually, it was "Me at the zoo," a lame 19-second clip shot at an unidentified zoo. It's clear that Karim had no idea what he and his pals were on to.
We're thinking the powers-that-be at Sequoia Capital, which funded the startup to the tune of $11.5 million, might have been just a tad horrified by YouTube's maiden post.
In May 2005, YouTube offered the public a beta test of the site. The first video to attract a million views was a Nike advertisement featuring Brazilian soccer star Ronaldinho posted in November 2005. By mid-December the site was getting 8 million views a day and was officially launched on December 15, following a $3.5 million investment from Sequoia Capital.
Less than a year later, YouTube was acquired by Google for $1.6 billion.
Today, YouTube's billion-plus users watch every imaginable kind of video — most of which are a bit more inspired than Karim's initial attempt at video sharing and many of which are downright… (we'll let you fill in the blank).
Word to the wise: When you're doing something in public for the first time — something for posterity — it pays to step back for a moment and ponder how what you're about to do will hold up years from now.
See A Brief History of YouTube for some background and a video on the making of YouTube.

Q: Running GUI apps in Goland IDE When I build in Terminal, I can use a flag to say I want to build for GUI:
go build -ldflags="-H windowsgui"

However, I just started using JetBrains Goland and I don't how to run GUI apps. What can I do?

A: go build will only build the application.
To actually run the application, you should go to Run | Edit Configurations... | + | Go Application and configure the application as you need.
Here you will need to set two options:

*

*add -ldflags="-H windowsgui" to the Go tool arguments option

*configure the Output directory to be in the same directory as your .manifest file

Setting the output directory is critical in order to run the the application without encountering the following panic panic: TTM_ADDTOOL failed described in this issue.
Then you can run the configuration via Run | Run... and select the configuration you've just created.

Available in black (v10), navy (v20) and burgundy (v60) this comfortable Pitillos high-front has a dressy leather and croc-print-patent upper. This patent pattern features in a broad band of leather that wraps diagonally across the vamp of the shoe, as well as hugging the heel.
Pitillos 2611 is a standard-to-wide fitting slip-on shoe style that has discreet segments of elastic incorporated into either side of the upper in order to facilitate a more flexible fit. That said, your feet are held securely and comfortably in position by a high heel counter, high front, and additional padding that is incorporated into the upper around the entrance to the shoe.
All three versions of 2611 have low, flat black rubber sole unit that sits 3cm at the heel. Rubber provides a flexible and shock absorbing foundation that together with 2611's spongy, textile lined insole forms a cushion underfoot.
Fashionable, functional and comfortable, these slip-on high fronts will prove so invaluable that you will want one in every colour.

For those who follow the whisper of the Runes, then pay close attention because today marks the completion of a year…that's right, the Month of Dag bows it's head and says good-bye…for now.
In other civilizations, Greek to be exact, Hemera was said to be born on this day. Hemera, interesting to me, because Erebus–the God of darkness and primeval chaos was said to be her father and Nyx, her sister, the Goddess of night.
Now scanning the distance across oceans of ancient sands, we take a look at Egypt, who would have been celebrating Ra and Nun on this day. According to their calendar, Ra would go forth and make peace with Nun. Now we know Ra is the Sun God, but most do not know that Nun happens to be the God of primeval waters which existed long before the universe was ever created. Even though the Universe came into existence, Nun still existed, only his waters flowed within the earth and in the deep depths of the Nile.

In Ancient History, Rome would have had a festival called Aestas, which happened to be their fabulous Summertime Goddess. It seemed fitting enough since today, on their calendar, was the first day of Summer. And the beginning of Summer didn't lack its own superstitions either. In fact, if it was raining today, then that meant it would be a very wet season.
Rome rarely does anything without Greece adding its own touch. So while Romans do their thing, the Greeks will be having their own festival called Arrhephoria. This was all about their Goddess Athena, who supposedly brought about the dew of night. The observance, though, was really all about whom Athena sent to deliver the dew, which were four young girls of Noble decent called Hersphoroi which meant 'dew bearers'. Now these ladies didn't really deliver the dew but they were sent to the temple of Athena in Acropolis to join in during the services of the Goddess.

Time to reflect on Celtic lore, for our Ancient Calendar reveals the Celts would have honored what they called, the Hamadryads. The Hamadryads were spirits that lived within the sacred Oak trees .
The name actually came from Greece, but in that culture, had a somewhat different meaning.
In Greek lore, the Hamadryads were not Celtic spirits but, Nymphs. The connection between these two cultures may live within the whole "tree" thing, for it is said that Nymphs were individually born with an attachment to a certain tree.
According to the Greeks, if the tree died, so did the Nymph.
Also, to harm a tree connected to a Nymph was a great crime against Greek Gods.
In fact, their Gods were said to punish anyone who maliciously set out to harm either.
Over in Rome, on June 1st, a festival for two Goddesses named Carna and Cardea would be happening. These two ladies and their purposes intertwined. Goddess Carna overlooked doors and locks, while Cardea overlooked the hinges. Also, Carna protected the larger organs of the body as Cardea protected the innocent while they slept…but from what?
The Strig.
Who were the Strig? A type of Vampire/Demon, who sucked the blood of their victims while they slept.
Today is also the Kalends of June in Ancient Roman Calendars.
Now, let us go to the land and culture of the Norse, as they were honoring one of my favorite Goddesses named, Syn. Syn not only aided Fridd, but was also valued as a protector. In order to be granted the protection of Syn, all one had to do was invoke her.
Later, she became known as a protector of those in need of justice and those on trial.
In Ancient Egypt, they are celebrating Maat and Ra, as this is the day they go forth in secret.

Ever hear of the Greater Panathenæa? Well it happens to be a festival which the Greeks absolutely adored and was all in honor of their Goddess Anthena. She was the patron of war, enlightenment, art, etc. The Greater Panathenæa was a big deal to the Greeks because they would have HUGE festivities today including but not limited too–races, (single and grouped), other games, prizes, feasting, wrestling, contests, dancing, and tons more.
But while the Greeks were doing that, Romans were having yet another huge day on their side of the world all in honor of their Goddess Vesta who happened to be the Goddess of fire, hearth and home. Remember me telling you sometime back about the Vestal Virgins? Same deal, which goes to show you just how important this Goddess and her priestesses were and how it must have crushed many when Christianity drove them out of Rome.
Friday belongs to Frigga or Venus—Goddess of Love and Transformation.
Fridays are excellent days to deal with matters or magical spells & rituals concerning…

Ancient Calendar: Relationships & Peace: July 4, 2010
HAPPY JULY FOURTH TO EVERYONE IN THE AMERICAS!!!!!
Wishing you the best!
Today in Ancient History, a great festival would have been held in Rome, all in honor of their Goddess of blissful relationships, Concordia. That's right, if someone wanted their relationship to run more smoothly, or wanted happy relations period, they might call upon the Goddess. But whether they wanted it or wanted to keep it, nearly all of Rome would honor her today. In fact, her shrine which was constructed during the year of 367 BCE was smack dab in Concordia, the meeting place of the Senate. Yeah, i suppose they would want to get along as well, hu?
Now, in order to seal the deal on happiness and or harmonious relations, Rome would have also honored Pax, their Goddess of peace, who was another version of the Greek goddess Eirene. After all, you can' get along with other people if you don't have some peace, right?

Ancient Calendar: June 22, 2010
One of the Greeks favorites was the woodland Pan. This God was envied and highly celebrated. So it comes of no surprise that today was just one more day in their calendar honoring him.
Pan kept to the meadows and forests. He traveled with his own entourage of Nymphs during the evening hours. Pan was famous for his sexual encounters and exploitations. Pan in his day was the equivalent of a rock star in ours.
Pan had the legs and hoofs of a goat, plus the horns of one. In fact, many believe that he was so popular–being one of the oldest gods of the Greek pantheon, that the Christians used his image to form their artistic version of Satan.

Today, in Ancient History, the Greeks had a festival titled The Day of All Heras. While later, Greek writers and powers that be tried to make Hera as a jealous Goddess who would only protect the women who did not have an affair with her husband, Zeus, I went digging awhile back and found a different side of her.
Extra info taken from:
Hera, being the so-called jealous wife of Zeus—since he couldn't keep from messin' around.
However, with a little research, I dug up some things not so common in popular myth.
Hera, believed to be the same as earlier Goddesses predating Gods, was believed to have originated in early Aegean civilizations (along with Rhea–pre Hellenic).
Queens who ruled by her name, carried the title Hiera "Holy One."
According to Barbara G. Walkers "The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths & Secrets", Hera was originally the Mother of the Gods, subordinate to no one, and a Great mother who made kings AND gods. In fact, Zeus was not as ancient as she, but that would be changed once writers began to pen something different.
It wasn't until Greek Authors attempted to make a male deity older and stronger—Zeus, that Hera became a jealous wife and woman. The arguing between Hera and Zeus seems to be symbolic of the arguing between the cults of that time–patriarchal & matriarchal–who battled over the truths of Hera and of other gods & goddesses.
As a trinity, she was Hera, Hebe, and Hecate. (Representing the moons–New, full, and old– Virgin of Spring, Mother of Summer, destroying Crone of Autumn.
Hera spread through Europe and even the Saxon's made worship of her at Heresburg (Hera's Mount) known to be the phallic column of the world.
Some sources claim Hera's name may have meant He Era, the earth.

The NALC embraced the Muscular Dystrophy Association as its "official charity" in 1952, becoming the first official national sponsor of the charity founded in 1950. The union's first nationally coordinated campaign to raise funds for MDA came during Thanksgiving Week in 1953, when tens of thousands of letter carriers in more than 800 cities returned to their routes for a second time after completing their holiday-heavy mail deliveries. The all-volunteer effort was called "The Letter Carrier March for Muscular Dystrophy. " Over the years, Branch 361 has held numerous fundraisers to benefit MDA. Current efforts focus on an annual golf scramble, "Super-Bowl a thon" and a monthly 50/50 raffle.
MDA Fill-the-Satchel, Pounds Away for MDA, One Hour's pay for MDA and a golf marathon are some of the additional events planned for 2016. Watch the news and calendar pages for dates and events.
The NALC "Stamp Out Hunger" nationwide food drive is the largest one day food drive in the country. It takes place each year on the second Saturday in May. The 2016 food drive will be May 14th. Overall, the N.A.L.C. was able to provide critically needed goods to food distribution centers in every part of the nation. At last count, the official tally for the 2015 drive was up to 70.6 million pounds of food collected in more than 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states as well as U.S. territories. This marks the tenth consecutive year where donations exceeded 70 million pounds nationally. The collection figure brought the 23-year total to more than 1.4 billion pounds.
In some areas of the country, the success of this year's drive often resulted from local distribution of special paper or plastic bags bearing the food drive's logo. Many communities also donated food in record numbers because of citizens' keen awareness of an immediate need to support those living in areas ravaged by recent tornadoes and floods.
NALC president Fred Rolando highlighted the efforts of the nation's letter carriers, their families and countless volunteers for their help in making the drive a success. He also thanked the NALC's national partners in the drive, including the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, U.S. Postal Service, Campbell Soup Co., Valpak Direct Marketing Systems, United Way Worldwide and its local United Ways, AFL-CIO, Feeding America food bank network and Uncle Bob's Self Storage. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) has joined as a national partner for the 2016 drive. Rolando also noted with appreciation the boost provided by "Family Circus" cartoonists Bill and Jeff Keane, who annually provide special artwork to promote the drive.

I absolutely adored reading both Royally Screwed and Royally Matched (click the links to see my reviews). When I saw that there was going to be a third book, my first thought was "who could this be about?" After reading the synopsis I was immediately hooked. Who doesn't love a little forbidden romance? The sister to Princess Olivia can't be with a mere bodyguard or so thinks Queen Lenora.
Pushed into the royal family by marriage Ellie's life completely changes. The Prince himself has sent Logan as security detail for his wife's younger sister. Ellie has had a crush on Logan since she was in high school and he was assigned to watch over her. They've both felt the attraction from the moment their lives were pushed together. But Logan knows that falling for her will completely change the course of his life. A life he's worked so hard for. He can't let his feelings get in the way of his job.
"I meant it when I said I would die for her . . . and right now, I feel like I am."
Over the years, Logan and Ellie's paths continue to cross. Ellie has never been able to let go of that schoolgirl crush. She's gone through boyfriend after boyfriend but no one compares to the fantasy of Logan St. James. Logan has always made her feel special, something she isn't used to feeling. Logan enlisted in the military to escape the terrible life he came from. He can't let one girl take that away from him. He's watched Ellie grow into a beautiful young woman and when danger at the palace threatens everyone's lives, whom will he choose to protect?
"Life changes us, with its twists and turns, in ways we don't always see coming. It changes what we want, what we dream, lays blessings in our hands better than anything we could've imagined."
Guys, this book was so much more than I ever imagined. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I cringed, and most of all I feel in love with this story. Because of their circumstances this is a slow burn romance. But trust me, it's worth the wait. For anyone who has read the other two books, you will be happy to hear that we get quite a few guest appearances! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
"Somebody once told me a slow-burning fire is the hottest – and it must be true. Because Logan and I are a f------ inferno"

Here's Why So Many Native Americans Serve Our Nation
By Rachel Ng, AARP Veteran Report
Originally published on November 10, 2022
Since its genesis, the United States has had a complex and painful history with Native Americans, who were not considered citizens until 1924.
Tens of thousands died during forced relocation to reservations, and the remaining tribes were stripped of their language and traditions.
"Native Americans have fought in every war that the American flag has flown in," Bill Stam, 88, an Air Force veteran of the Lakota tribe who fought in Korea and Vietnam, told AARP Veteran Report.
"We have more volunteers in the military than any other group of people." Since 9/11, the rate of Native Americans serving is the highest of any groups, with nearly 19 percent joining the military.
Given their history, many have wondered why Native Americans would serve their country in the armed forces at such a high rate.
Here are four big reasons why:
1. Core Beliefs
"In many tribes, bravery in battle was part of the core beliefs and characteristics you needed to possess in order to rise to real leadership," says Jeff Means, a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe who is a Marine Corps veteran and history professor.
"You also had to be generous and honorable, but because conflict between Native nations and Europeans increased so much when European contact happened, warfare became pretty much endemic to most Native nations. So, this warrior ethos became part of most Native nations."
2. Protecting community
Rebecca Trautmann, project curator for the National Native American Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., collected stories of Native Americans for the Veterans History Project.
"The one thing that we heard again and again across the country was an inherited sense of responsibility to protect one's homeland, community, family and way of life," she told .
"They have this deep connection to the land where communities had such deep roots.
One veteran in Colorado said: "This land that we live on holds our great-great-grandparents' bones, and we're committed to defending it and protecting it."
3. Opportunity
In reservations, Native Americans were stripped of their language, traditions, and culture, and many struggled economically because reservations weren't designed to be self-sufficient. When military opportunity arose, it provided a way for Native Americans to earn a living.
4. Service honored
When soldiers return from combat, they are honored by the Native tribes because the community understands the cost of their sacrifice. "They put an extra emphasis on putting up monuments to their military veterans, and providing funds for them for schooling or medical assistance, whether that's psychological or physical, and helping them out as best they can," he says. During pow-wows or religious ceremonies like a Sun Dance, military veterans are given special recognition.
New memorials
To honor the memory and service of all Native Americans who fought for their nation, Stam and his late wife, Gwin, of the Apache Tribe, created the All Nations Native American Veterans Memorial in their home in Jefferson, Oregon.
Stam often shares tales of Native American heroism with visitors:
Members of the Alamo Scouts, who operated behind enemy lines during World War II
The Navajo Code Talkers of World War II
Medal of Honor recipient Master Sgt. Roy Benavidez
Lori Piestewa, killed in the Iraq War and the first Native American woman to die in combat
The National Native American Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which opened on Nov. 11, 2020, will be formally dedicated on Veterans Day 2022.
Designed by Harvey Pratt, a Marine Corps veteran of the Vietnam War and a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, it features a stainless-steel circle balanced on a carved stone drum. The memorial is on the grounds of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
"Harvey wanted to create a gathering space where people can share stories, tie prayer cloths, bundles of tobacco or sage, and where native communities and individuals could perform ceremonies to honor their veterans," Trautmann says.

jinja2 templates
=====================
From the doc page, 'Jinja2 is a modern and designer-friendly templating language
for Python." Jinja2 is the templating engine used in the common web framework
Flask.

The [Jinja2 docs](http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/api/#autoescaping) on
autoescaping indirectly state that the default behavior is autoescape=False:
    "As of Jinja 2.4 the preferred way to do autoescaping is to **enable** the
    Autoescape Extension and to configure a sensible default for autoescaping."

### Incorrect
With autoescape=False, the default behavior, we can see XSS is trivial if a user
controlled value is ever rendered in a jinja2 template:
```shell
>>> from jinja2 import Template
>>> t = Template("Hello darkness, my old {{ friend }}")
>>> t.render(friend="friend")
    u'Hello darkness, my old friend'
>>> t.render(friend="<h1>enemy</h1>")
    u'Hello darkness, my old <h1>enemy</h1>'
```

### Correct
The correct solution is to use autoescape=True, as we can see below:
```shell
>>> from jinja2 import Template
>>> t = Template("Hello darkness, my old {{ friend }}", autoescape=True)
>>> t.render(friend="friend")
    u'Hello darkness, my old friend'
>>> t.render(friend="<h1>enemy</h1>")
    u'Hello darkness, my old <h1>enemy</h1>'
>>>
```

## Consequences
* HTML/Javascript injection, known as XSS attacks.

The Track and Field teams continued to roll Thursday night, putting up exceptional performances and two school records by Ben Scott and Danny Banister en route to a 3rd place finish for the boys and a 2nd place finish for the girls.
The girls earned a win in seven of the 12 events in which they had entries. Claire Bingham put on a clinic, easily outdistancing her competition to wins in the 100m, 200m, 400m, and Long Jump. Sophomore Hannah Gunn earned the first win of her Cape Henry Collegiate Track and Field career, taking the gold in the Triple Jump and grabbing a new PR in the process. Gunn also brought home the bronze in her first high jump event, clearing an impressive four feet. Lexia Hann continued to hit her stride, notching victories in the 1600m and 3200m, as the second place finishes of Caroline Beaulieu in the Discus and Gabriella Gianascoli in the 200m dash also contributed to the scoring effort.
The boys were equally as impressive. With an eye toward competing for a TCIS title, the boys used this meet as an opportunity to focus on specific events, rather than running the full gambit of events. Leading the way was Danny Banister. Banister grabbed a big win in the Long Jump with a school record leap of 19-10. Teammate Ethan Jones was not to be outdone, grabbing second in the Long Jump. Banister also took the win in the 100m dash, while he and Jones went 3-4 in the 200m dash. Jones, Banister, Carter Ward, and Briggs Standing also teamed up to take second in the 4×100 relay, grabbing second and coming up just short– less than .5 seconds — of the school record.
Sophomore Ben Scott got onto the scoreboard, taking second in the 110 hurdles and setting a new school record of 19.96. Owen Richards took the win in the 1600m, while John Ermini, Carter Ward, and William Wei battled to a 2-3-4 finish in the Triple Jump. The team is on short rest as they will travel to Walsingham on Saturday for the Walsingham Invitational.
