One day, Adria came unto a Library, and she didst find a sign there which intrigued her greatly:
SCOOT THE KO’AN, SPEAKER
THE ASS-KICKIN’ APOSTLE
VOGON POETRY SLAM
(THOU HAST BEEN FOREWARNED.)
And so she didst enter unto the Library and didst listen to the words of Scoot the Ko’An:
‘…And so by joining the Gods of Hondo,’ quoth Scoot, ‘thou canst reduce thy long-distance bills by as much as 40% a month, or ten credits, or 4000 rupees— no matter how thou stacketh it, ’tis a lot of tomatoes.
‘Look at me, for I am in the best shape of my life now that I traveleth with the Dudes!’
‘Amen!’ quoth Brian Fritz, ‘Behold! for I have lost ten pounds, or six cubits— and four dress sizes— since I began traveling with the Dudes!’
‘Verily I say,’ quoth Scoot, ‘the Gods of Hondo shall reduce taxes, fight gun control legislation, resist special interest lobbies, abolish the Electoral College, and ban Soccer Moms from voting!’
‘Darn tootin’!’ quoth Myles the Unbeliever.
‘In the event of an accident, the first driver on right shall be the first to give the finger.
‘As Trampus wouldst sayeth:’ quoth Scoot, ‘ “Elisha had a vineyard at Ba’alzamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; those that live in the mountains, set me as a seal upon thine heart, sweet sister. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?
‘ “For Wisdom hath buildèd her a house, she hath hewn it out of seven pillars; she hath killed her beasts with a five-bladed sword; stolen waters art sweet, and bread eaten in secret is Shai’tanic.”
‘For the dead liveth in floating refrigerators, and the guests of fools art skeletons hidden in the closet of Hell.
‘I had a dream, and I shall conjugate it for thee: Mummified Cats were playing poker in a roomful of worried people, who didst all keep looking at the clock. And I didst have to stop the Green Darkness from consuming all, I fought the Red Machine to protect the Little Black Box. Yea, tho I walk through the No Man’s Land of the Factories of Machines That Make Nothing, I shall live dangerously, and kicketh out the jams, for the Force is with me, what’s with ye? We must unite together as one, in the spirit of [i]compo rotaryi], with puffy little shoes and nose rings for all!’
And for the triumphant conclusion of his Sermon on the Table, Scoot didst fall off, but the people didst support him, and he didst surf the crowd.
Soon everyone was crowd surfing; with a little more butt support they didst surf Adria right to Scoot.
‘Wow!’ quoth Adria, ‘ ’Tis really thee! Scoot the Ko’An! ’Tis just like in the visions, but for that thou shouldst be a little taller!’
‘And thou art?’
‘I am Adria,’ quoth Adria. ‘The Gods of Hondo hath led me to this place with a sign that I might meet thee!’
‘Not thou too!’ quoth Myles the Unbeliever.
‘Myles! My brother!’ cried Adria. ‘ ’Tis really thee! When I heard about the farting chickens, I feared the worst for thee. So thou hast also joined the Dudes?’
‘No,’ quoth Scoot. ‘We call him Myles the Unbeliever. He’s just along for the ride.’
‘Is that one of thy mother’s chickens?’ asked Myles.
‘Aye. This little cuckoo just won a distance-farting contest in Tennessee,’ quoth she.
‘But how didst thou know to find thy way here?’ asked Myles, dreading the answer.
‘I was guided by a sign,’ quoth she. ‘For I was on my way to have this cuckoo filed for protection as an endangered species, when a Mexican-speaking Chihuahua tagged along and didst lead me to this place.’
‘ ’Tis a sign!’ cried an old man.
And the God of Odnoh didst appear in their midst as a frustrated palm tree, and he said unto them: ‘It is indeed a sign, for I have led thee here for a purpose.
‘Thou hast a hidden gift that is worthy of the Dudes,’ spake the God of Magic. ‘Thou shalt be the Prophetess of Hondo. Thou shalt help the Dudes find the Thing with the Stuff.’
‘Just great,’ quoth Myles, ‘now I am seeing figments of [/her imagination, too…’
‘Derrick and I have done some thinking,’ spake the God of Militant Bowel Movements as he appeared before them as Gustav, ze Vodka Svilling Cat, ‘and we have decided to commemorate thy battle with the Technomage by declaring the last day of October Odnohween, and it just so happeneth that today is Odnohween. Spooky things shall come to pass tonight, and from now on, every Odnohween Night. Have thee a nice day!’
‘Great art the Gods of Hondo,’ quoth RJ, ‘and we rejoice in thy new holy day!’
And he didst bow before them, prostrate at their feet.
‘I liketh the way thou boweth,’ spake the God of All Things Found Under Couch Cushions. ‘I think we shall promote thee to a Priest of Hondo.’
‘Oh, thank ye, mighty God of Odnoh!’ quoth RJ, and he didst bow again. ‘All praise is due. To both thee and Lord Matt. Many thanks!’
And the Gods of Hondo didst vanish from their midst.
And Adria didst prophesy: ‘For there shall come a day when the bell shalt toll for someone else. And there shalt be more ninjas than thou canst stuff into an airport! The forgotten shalt be remembered, and the megaphone of failure shalt be made to work again, for it sayeth: “Get thee hence, foul desktop! I shall away with Windows 95 be!” The grandmother of Republicans hath mighty toads to jump on mounds of scorpions for extra points. Beware the green, green farts, for friends who freezeth together sneezeth together.’.

Breaking some more rules
Longtime readers of this blog may recall how for some time I have been chafing against the "requirements" of the traditional quilt format. Not sure exactly what psychological itch I am scratching, but I'm wanting to break more rules and explore new territory, while still sticking to my existing to-do list. Recently, for example, I've been experimenting with very heavy machine stitching, even to the point of totally covering the underlying fabric base.
Last week, while I was lying in bed at 2 a.m. not sleeping, I thought about a way I could adapt this new technique to one of my longtime series, the "postage quilt" format. I've made six very large and maybe a dozen relatively small quilts in this format, in which I construct a whole lot of tiny rectangles, each of them sewed individually as a little two- or three-layer quilt, and then stitch them together in a grid and suspend the whole thing in air.
But I realized, thinking in the dark, that I didn't have to be so damn neat about it! I could hold the quiltbits together with much more irregular stitches, and in fact, I could use the new technique I had just been doing with my stitched pyramids, dropping a whole pile of threads on top of the fabric and scribbling on top of them to hold them down.
So I went down to the studio as soon as it got light, and set up an edition of postage stamp quiltbits. With the addition of thread piles, the bits took on interesting texture as well as color variation. Here's what they look like, not yet sewed together into a grid:
I'll keep you posted!

NEW DELHI: Month on month the Indian auto sector is reporting declining sales. However, the picture looks more promising in the used car market. Value conscious buyers are hunting for bargains in the pre-owned segment and driving away with great deals.
According to online classifieds platform OLX, millennials are the driving force behind the growing pre-owned car market. The size of the pre-owned automobile industry is 1.3 times the size of the new car market, and is expected to touch $25 billion by 2023, said a release. The pre-owned car market is at present about $14 billion.
This growth is spurred by millennials, who are digitally savvy, seek choices, maximize value and are conscious of their impact on the environment. Millennials – those between 22 and 37 years of age today – place emphasis on the resale value alongside the technology and safety features in the car, over other considerations like size and brand, the release added.
OLX and OLX CashMyCar conducted a study with over 1,500 respondents across India who have either sold or purchased a pre-owned car in the last 12 months.
The study revealed that value-seeking millennials are turning to pre-owned cars, influenced by their friends and families. "Millennials are drawn by the availability of a variety of cars online – around one-fourth of the respondents said availability of choices among brands is important to them, compared to only 15% of non-millennial buyers. They are willing to sacrifice affordability for choice – 38% of millennials compared to 51% of non-millennials cited this as their primary reason for buying pre-owned cars online. 64% of the millennials are influenced by their family & friends when it comes to purchasing a pre-owned car," claimed the study.
Resale value, technology and safety are top three considerations that influence the purchase of a pre-owned cars.
The study further found that almost half of the millennials who purchased a pre-owned car during the last one year were first time car owners. The other half already had an existing car.
Commenting on the insights, Sunny Kataria, VP Auto, OLX India said, “At 440 million, millennials comprise over a third of India’s population, and nearly half of the total working population. They are brand conscious, digitally connected, value maximizing and environmentally aware individuals. The millennials’ decisions on buying cars are relatively more rooted in pragmatism and aspiration, thereby fueling the pre-owned cars business.”
He further added, “Over the next three years, millennials will emerge as the largest consumer group in the automobile industry as the pre-owned car industry hits 6.6 million units in market size by 2023.”

Recipe by marko1995
"This is a very simple clone for that overpriced name-brand bottled coffee drink I somehow became addicted to. It's also a great way to use the leftover coffee that always ends up getting dumped down the drain the next day."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

cold brewed coffee
2 (1 gram) packets
granular sucrolose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
If you throw the ingredients in a blender with a little ice, you have a cheap homemade coffee Frap that costs a fraction of what you'd pay at Starbucks. It's quite bendable to make more personal for what you like--caramel sauce, chocolate syrup or flavored coffee syrups.....there's so many different combinations you could make. Great summer drink.
Hmmmm. I had high hopes for this recipe. It had an odd taste. Maybe it was the Splenda? I use it in my hot coffee, so not sure. Would like to try again with maybe just a touch of real sugar, no Splenda. Not bad, just weird after taste.
Simple - yes and wow is this stuff ever good! I don't even drink coffee but I love it cold! This is a great pick me up in the afternoon - much cheaper than Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts for that matter! I made this exactly as the recipe stated the first time. I liked it so much the next time I added a little ice and put it in a blender to thicken it then topped it with whipped cream and chocolate syrup (I know really bad). I think if I make it again I'll lighten it up a bit and sub in fat free half and half (forget the whipped cream and chocolate syrup lol). Great recipe!
This oddly does taste just like the frappucinos in the glass jars at the supermarket. What a waste to buy them. A little chocolate syrup, will probably make the mocha style ones. A flavored creamer would be good to. I made a 1/2 recipe, for myself, and used decaf instant and 2% milk. ty
I usually pour the coffee in an empty water bottle and add some flavored creamer and put it in the freezer for about an hour and it gets good and slushy!
When I first read this recipe I was thinking that no way could the ratios be correct, but I was proven wrong fast enough. This is a five star recipe on its own because it taste better than the store-bought versions, but the real bonus is you can customize it to your liking so easily. Definitely a keeper. Thanks marko1995 - simple but fantastic!
I tried this this morning. I absolutely adore this recipe! I love coffee, but I am the only one in the house that drinks it. I always have plenty left over. I can't really do the sugary coffee drinks that can be purchased at the grocery store or from a coffee shop. So due to dietary restrictions, I altered the recipe just a bit. I used just one packet of sweetener and vanilla almond milk. I am hooked! Thanks so much for sharing!! I will have this drink again and again and again ..... :)
Made this today with skim milk, 1 packet of equal and coffee from our Keurig coffee maker. Served over ice. The possibilities are endless with this one. What a quick coffee on the go recipe.

How Do Solar Panels Work for Kids – a Child-Friendly Explanation of Solar Power
How Do Solar Panels Work for Kids – a Child-Friendly Explanation of Solar Power
As residential solar power systems increase in popularity and more of people become concerned with their own carbon footprint, it only makes sense that plenty of parents and teachers are seeking out child-friendly ways to explain solar power to kids.
To help you get your children excited about solar power, we have provided this simple and fun explanation of how solar power works. By breaking down solar power in a way that a child can actually understand, you can encourage your child to start thinking about the importance of reducing emissions and protecting the natural world.
If you want to start teaching your child about solar panels, renewable energy, and protecting the environment, we can help!
A Kid-Friendly Explanation of How Solar Panels Work
What is Solar Energy?
Our solar system is an amazing place! All of the planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun. This includes our own planet and home - the Earth.
The Sun plays an incredibly important role, as it is the primary source of energy for our entire planet! Without energy from the Sun, our small planet would freeze over and no plants or animals could survive. Not only does energy from the Sun keep our planet warm, it actually helps plants produce their own food.
For a plant to grow, it needs three things – water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide, which is the invisible gas that we humans breath out when we exhale. The plants use a process called photosynthesis to create their own food. When plants absorb sunlight, they are able to use that energy to transform water and carbon dioxide into the sugars they need to survive.
What is Renewable Energy and What Does Solar Power Mean?
Just like plants, humans can also use the Sun’s energy for power. If you have ever stood outside on a sunny day, you have probably noticed how warm the sunlight can make your skin feel. The heat you are experiencing on your skin is actually just energy that is being transferred to the surface of the Earth through the Sun’s rays.
Thanks to science and ingenuity, humans have now invented devices that can capture the energy in sunlight and turn it into electricity that we can use to power everything from televisions to refrigerators. When we are able to transform sunlight into electricity, we refer to that captured energy as ‘solar power’.
The good thing about turning sunlight into electricity is the fact that the Sun’s energy will never run out. This is because energy that is sourced from sunlight, which, again, we refer to as solar power, is actually a type of renewable energy.
Renewable energy is a term we used to describe energy sources that are natural and do not run out, like sunlight, wind, and ocean waves. No matter how much of this energy we used to power our electronics, it will continue to be there each and every day.
Unlike other fuel sources, like oil, gas, and coal, which all have to be burned to produce energy, renewable energy sources are better for the environment because they do not produce dirty emissions and unhealthy gases.
These other energy sources, which we often refer to as ‘fossil fuels’ or ‘non-renewable energy sources’, will also run out some day, which is another reason why it is better to rely on renewable energy sources, like solar power, for our electricity.
How Do We Turn Sunlight into Electricity?
To harness the energy in sunlight and turn it into electricity that we can use, we use solar cells. Solar cells, which are also called photovoltaic cells, absorb sunlight and turn the energy within the sunlight into useable electricity.
Sunlight is actually made up of tiny particles of light energy, known as photons. When sunlight hits the surface of a solar cell, the energy, or photons, attract small pieces of matter and energy that are trapped inside the solar cell to rise to the surface. These particles of charged matter inside the solar cells are called electrons.
When the electrons move inside the solar cell to meet the photons, an electrical circuit is formed across the top and the bottom of the cell. We then capture this electrical current, so we can convert it into electricity that we can use!
What is a Solar Panel?
A solar panel is a device that contains a group of solar cells. While they might just look like large panels of tinted glass, they actually contain the solar cells that we use to turn sunlight into electricity. Since the solar cells work better when more sunlight hits their surface, we always position them in a way that they can absorb as much sunlight as possible. This means you always want to keep them out of the shade and pointed in a direction where the sun will be shining most of the day.
So, What Have We Learned?
Just like plants, we can also use the energy inside sunlight. Where plants use sunlight to make their food, we can use sunlight for electricity. Unlike other electricity sources, electricity we harness from sunlight will not run out and it does not produce any pollution, which is why it is considered a type of renewable energy.
To absorb sunlight and turn it into electricity, we use small solar cells, which capture the electricity that is produced when sunlight photons make trapped electrons rise upwards. Since the solar cells are small and delicate, we put them inside solar panels, which we then position in places where they will be exposed to as much sunlight as possible.
By using solar power for our electricity needs, we are protecting the environment and using a power source that will not run out. Since solar panels are now much less expensive than they once were, families, schools, businesses, and governments can all use their own solar panels, so they can access free and environmentally-friendly electricity that will never run out!
How You and Your Kids Can Get Started with Solar Power
Where solar panels and other pieces of solar equipment used to be complicated and very expensive, the technology has progressed to such a point that it is now possible to assemble an efficient and effective solar power system that is both affordable and easy to install.
If you are new to solar power, but you would like to install a simple system that you and your children can get excited about, we recommend taking a look at a solar panel kit. Each of these convenient and affordable kits will come with everything you need to get started, including solar panels, an efficient charge controller, a reliable solar power inverter, a deep cycle solar battery, and all of the cables and connectors that you would need to wire everything together.
Since the equipment is bundled, the components within the kits are almost always priced lower than they would be if you were to try and purchase them separately.
If a ready-made solar power system appeals to you, we strongly recommend you take a look at our Collection of DIY Solar Panel Kits. Our kits use high-quality components from some of the best brands in the solar industry.

About two-thirds of the extra milk solids – that we are now selling – has come from greater efficiency on farms, or produced from the same amount of land.
This is according to Teagasc’s head of dairy research, Padraig French, who spoke at the Teagasc National Dairy Conference held in Killarney, Co. Kerry, yesterday, December 3.
During his presentation, Padraig displayed some data which compared some pre-quota reference years, 2007 to 2009, with the past three years, 2017 to 2019.
Looking at the figures, overall there has been a significant increase in cow numbers – by 35% – and an increase in milk output – by 55%.
Likewise, fat and protein have improved; driven, he said, by improvements in genetics and a longer grazing season.
“When this is combined, we are seeing an increase in milk solids by 65% and an increased milk price by almost 20% or 2.9c/L; however, this probably only kept us just ahead of inflation,” he added.
When he looked at this at farm level – on the average farm – cow numbers went up from 54 cows per farm to 77 cows per farm.
“But where has all this extra milk come from?” he stated.
“There has been a 13% increase in stocking rate; but also significantly we saw a 16% increase in grass utilised.
What this tells us is, that these extra cows on the milk platform were fed from more grass grown. So we are growing more grass on our farms and our cows are consuming more grass per cow.
The outcome of this, he explained, is we have “increased milk solids by 23% from 340kg of MS/cow to 420kg of MS/cow – or a 63% increase in milk solids per farm – over the last three years”.
Taking into account the cost of these extra cows, on farm, he said: “They are costing in the region of €4,000/cow.”
When the investments to accommodate these extra cows are taken into account, this equates, he said, to an investment of about a €100,000 – on your average farm.
However, he highlighted that our debt levels have in fact only gone up “by about €15,000”.
This implies that a lot of this investment has been out of cash-flow. So our dairy farms are a very sustainable economic business at this stage.
Although he stressed that the most important thing for the business is net margin.
Going further, he said: “When we combine the increase in stocking rate – by 13% – with the increase in milk solids – by 80kg of milk solids – about two-thirds of the extra milk solids that we are selling has come from efficiency.
“Produced from the same amount of land,” he added.
‘What have we learned?’
“Dairy expansion has been really successful. It has increased farm income and has generated about €1 billion/year spread throughout rural Ireland,” he stressed.
“Two-thirds have come from efficiency; an increase in grass grown, an increase in grass utilisation and an increase in milk production per cow and that has fundamentally enhanced our competitiveness.
“So, when you look at where we are now, compared to our competitors, we are in a much stronger position today, than we were 10 years ago.
“The one lesson we can take is, expansion from increased grass utilisation is very profitable,” he concluded.

Since I have made all three of my children a pinwheel quilt, I just had to make one more for my husband. This is Kansas Troubles "On Meadowlark Pond". I just finished piecing the body of the quilt, but still need to do the 2.5" inner border, and the 5.5" outer border, and the quilting. During the day, while my husband is at work, I have been working on this. Just before he comes home, I tuck it away in my sewing room, so he doesn't see it! I made him one a few years back in Kansas Troubles Favorites, so I know he will like this color scheme.
This was created by "the seat of my pant" for a dear friend who was going through cancer. She chose the colors and I came up with this pattern. A photo from old computer, so it's a bit grainy Forgot to mention, she has passed away. Yes, she truly loved this quilt and it was with her always.
This baby quilt is made from leftovers from 3 other quilts. Later Alligator, by Sandy Gervais, Windham Basic Brights, and Hooray by Patrick Lose. I made one that was all Later Alligator, and just finished the second one that still needs quilting. This turned out well and is bright to intrigue an infant or toddler. I backed it with a blue minky and used a blue thread in case some minky might pull through. I'm making two burp cloths with some left over flannel and matching fabric. The pattern is by Amy Smart, one of her 3 free star pattern off her blog.
Mother of bride came up with the colors and arrangement. This was for her son. I did all the cutting, sewing and quilting. A bit grainy, photo from old computer. This isn't the best picture, but all I have. The background is white and is quilted with white thread. I took a picture of it with my camera phone from the computer screen and this is how it turned out, sorry guys. I will never see this again.
Saw these checker pumpkins in a craft store and thought I can make these. So found a how to on the web and did them. I put some potpourri in them pumpkin spice sort. Make 6 of them. Sold a few at today's church sale but others may just come home with me if they don't go tomorrow. Happy Halloween.
My niece loves cats so I decided to use the Churn Dash quilt pattern as the foundation of this quilt for my niece Kelly - thank you Jenny Doan, I couldn’t have done it without you! I free motion quilted it myself, painstakingly drawing the designs using templates and good ole friction pens (love them) - my first ever! Although not perfect,I think it turned out beautifully and she loved it! I do too. I appliqued the cats, another first for me.

CHURCH HILL—The Church Hill Senior Center Garden is now in its seventh growing season.
Since 2011, the garden has participated in Kingsport’s Tomato Fest to help spread gardening know-how about growing heirloom tomatoes.
The term “heirloom” means that the plant will grow true from seed and these varieties have been passed down from generation to generation.
The Church Hill garden always grows a large variety of tomatoes – this year they are harvesting 18 different types.
Though not always “pretty”, these juicy, flavorful tomatoes are always a big hit at the Senior Center where they are utilized in their lunch program and at the Food Pantry run by Of One Accord ministry.
By sharing some of the produce at Tomato Fest, the garden hopes to bring the joy of growing (and especially eating!) these nutritious plants in one’s own backyard.
Commercial growers are often unable to grow the large, juicy heirloom tomatoes.
They need to have a uniform variety that is ready to harvest at one time and sturdy enough to ship without splitting and breaking.
But if you are growing in your own yard, the first taste of these delectable heirlooms will change your mind forever about the true taste of summer tomatoes.
The gardeners at the Church Hill Senior garden hope that everyone gets to experience the taste of a true home grown tomato.
Despite the hot, dry growing season, the gardeners at Church Hill continue to strive to provide a wide variety of vegetables to the seniors and those in need. Always growing without pesticides or commercial fertilizers, the garden has already produced over 3,000 pounds of produce to share with the community.
The garden is approaching a special production number – watch for future news about their milestone later this year.
The Church Hill Senior Center gardeners who consist of members of the Northeast Tennessee Master Gardeners and local gardening enthusiasts, would like to congratulate the Hawkins County Master Gardeners on their inaugural garden and their two ribbons at Tomato Fest.
It is great to see another garden project in Hawkins County benefitting the community.


Function X: Decentralizing The Internet
The creation of the internet paved the way for lots of technological advancement to be made possible, it boosted every sector, exposing them to even greater benefits.
However, the internet have both centralized and decentralized qualities but the decentralization function is quite hard to harness compared to its centralization function which is cheaper and easy to harness which is why almost everything designed out of the internet is centralized and only the Blockchain Technology has been the only creation culled from the internet that is decentralized and it did cause, and is still creating, a lot of disruption in almost every sector.
A decentralized system is secure, transparent and provides individual governance – this is when an individual gets to solely decide what happens to their data/information, because the internet is centralized we do not often get this chance although we are given the feeling that we are in control of our data.
Don't you want a decentralized internet? A place where you are still exposed to great source of information but this time securely without risking data exposure, don't you want to implement FUNCTION X (fx)?
What Is Function X?
FUNCTION X or fx is a universal decentralized internet, fully integrated and powered by the blockchain technology together with smart devices. Unlike common blockchain related project which just utilizes some aspect of the blockchain, Function X is fully built on and for the blockchain and this means even the application source code, transmission protocol and hardware are fully secure and decentralized.
Function X will cause both the biggest blockchain and digital revolution, in its blockchain aspect fx will see a tenfold improvement on every aspect such as speed which will be performed in super lightening speed mode, transparency, scalability and governance. Function X is the sure solution for decentralization and its universal implementation will cause for a great revolution to begin.

Langston Hughes  Experiences in this play echo a lawsuit Hansberry v. A Raisin in the Sun was a revolutionary work for its time. These dreams function in positive ways, by lifting their minds from their hard work and tough lifestyle, and in negative ways, by creating in them even more dissatisfaction with their present situations.
The Harlem Renaissance and the positive national response to the art it produced seemed to herald the possibility of a new age of acceptance for blacks in America.
Of course, one of her most radical statements was simply the writing and production of the play—no small feat given her status as a young, black woman in the s. Walter is barely making a living as a limousine driver. In fact, the s are known to history as the Jazz Age, since that musical form, created by a vanguard of black musicians, gained immense national popularity during the period and seemed to embody the exuberance and excitement of the decade.
Before this play, African-American roles, usually small and comedic, largely employed ethnic stereotypes. Hansberry never lived in a "Younger" household, although she closely observed such households throughout her childhood. Her lines are employed as comic relief, but Hansberry also uses this scene to mock those who are too scared to stand up for their rights.
Hansberry was the youngest playwright, the fifth woman, and the only black writer at that point to win the award. Hansberry creates in the Younger family one of the first honest depictions of a black family on an American stage, in an age when predominantly black audiences simply did not exist.
By s standards, the Hansberrys were certainly upper middle class, but by the standards of most Chicago blacks, many of whom lived in abject poverty at this time, they would have been considered "rich. What happens to a dream deferred?
Though Ruth is content with their lot, Walter is not and desperately wishes to become wealthy. She even approaches an abortion debate, allowing the topic of abortion to enter the action in an era when abortion was illegal.
It implicitly places the blame for this possible eruption on the oppressive society that forces the dream to be deferred.
Asagai patiently teaches Beneatha about her African heritage; he gives her thoughtfully useful gifts from Africa, while pointing out she is unwittingly assimilating herself into white ways. Since its Broadway debut, Raisin has been translated into over thirty languages, including the language of the eastern German Sorbische minority, and has been produced in such culturally diverse places as China, the former Czechoslovakia, England, France, and the former Soviet Union.
They wore housekeys around their necks, symbols of their "latchkey children" status, so Hansberry decided to wear keys around her neck — any keys that she might find, including skate keys — so that she too might be thought of as one of them. Walter redeems himself and black pride at the end by changing his mind and not accepting the buyout offer, stating that the family is proud of who they are and will try to be good neighbors.
The s are widely mocked in modern times as an age of complacency and conformism, symbolized by the growth of suburbs and commercial culture that began in that decade.
Hansberry wrote that she always felt the inclination to record her experiences. A Raisin in the Sun remains important as a cultural document of a crucial period in American history as well as for the continued debate over racial and gender issues that it has helped spark.
However, after two years, her growing interest in the arts took her other places for brief periods. Always politically active, Carl challenged a Supreme Court decision against integration and won his right to purchase a house in an exclusive Chicago neighborhood where no other blacks lived.
Interestingly, the cause and effect of much of the action in Raisin evolves as a consequence of the death of Big Walter, a character whom the audience never sees, although much of the dialogue contains references to him.
Born into material comfort, yet baptized in social responsibility; intensely individual in her attitudes and behavior, yet sensitive to the wills and aspirations of a whole people; a lover of life, yet stalked by death — she deliberately fashioned out of these elements an articulate existence of artistic and political commitment, seasoned with that missionary devotion which often intensifies the labors of the mortally ill.
Jean Carey Bond, in an article in Freedomways magazine, says of Hansberry: Walter is oblivious to the stark contrast between George and Joseph: Hansberry seems to argue that as long as people attempt to do their best for their families, they can lift each other up.
At times, her writing—including A Raisin in the Sun—is recognizably autobiographical.A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, takes its title from the famous Langston Hughes poem “A Dream Deferred”, whose theme is echoed throughout the play.
In a small apartment in Chicago in the s, the members of the Younger family, an African American family, each have big dreams of what to do with the life insurance money.
'A Raisin in the Sun' Reveals Playwright Lorraine Hansberry's Black Activism At the heart of Hansberry's 'A Raisin in the Sun' is the universal message of the desire for social progress amid the. Essay on Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun Words | 4 Pages A Raisin in the Sun A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, illustrates the timeless struggle for the furtherance of family values and morals with extreme clarity.

A new study shows that the odds of a woman developing breast cancer are much higher if the bovine leukemia virus (“BLV”) is present in breast tissue. In fact, the research suggests that the odds are far greater than with other common risk factors linked to breast cancer.
BLV infects the blood cells and mammary tissue of beef and dairy cattle causing malignant lymphoma and lymphosarcoma in up to 5% of infected animals. Exposure to BLV is determined by examining the cattle’s milk or serum. If antibodies to BLV are present, than it is likely that the cattle has the virus.
The virus is present in the vast majority of America’s dairy and beef cattle. In fact, a baseline study of the presence of BLV was established during a 1996 study. The results of that study showed that 89% of United States dairy operations had BLV.
The most recent study took place in 2007, where greater than 82% percent of the entire United States dairy herd was tested. The results showed that almost 84% of operations were positive for BLV.
Until recently, it was unsure if BLV could be transmitted to the human population. Professor Gertrude Buehring, a professor of virology at the University of California-Berkeley, and her team showed that BLV can in fact pass to humans. Buehring stated that, “The tests we have now are more sensitive, but it was still hard to overturn the established dogma that BLV was not transmissible to humans. As a result, there has been little incentive for the cattle industry to set up procedures to contain the spread of the virus.”
Taking it a step further, Buehring and her team analyzed the breast tissue from 239 women. The results showed a higher likelihood of the presence of BLV in breast cancer tissue. Further analysis indicated that the odds of having breast cancer if BLV was present was about three times greater than if BLV was absent. 59% of the breast cancer samples had exposure to BLV while only 29% of the tissue samples from women who did not have nor never had breast cancer showed the presence of BLV.
Buehring pointed out that, “This odds ratio is higher than any of the frequently publicized risk factors for breast cancer, such as obesity, alcohol consumption and use of postmenopausal hormones.”
Despite the results, Buehring stressed that, “It is important to note that our results do not prove that the virus causes cancer. However, this is the most important first step. We still need to confirm that the infection with the virus happened before, not after, breast cancer developed, and if so, how.”
Buehring also emphasised that her study did not identify how the virus infected the analyzed breast tissue samples. She proffers that the virus could have been transmitted to the women through the consumption of unpasteurized milk or undercooked meat, or it could have been transmitted by other humans.Stay Connected

Samsung’s Galaxy Note series started out as business-focused devices, promising tools for productivity including the instantly familiar S Pen stylus. The series has been recognized, and often derided, for pushing screen sizes though what seemed impractical a few years ago is now quite mainstream. Of late though, Samsung has turned the Galaxy Note series into a premium flagship lineup, with a roughly six-month gap between Galaxy Note and Galaxy S series launches.
This year’s Galaxy Note 20 series is being billed as “the best of the best”, with all the latest features and specifications, plus of course the S Pen. There are two different models like last year.

CS-ECE Colloquium: Building knowledge bases for natural language understanding
This event has passed.
Monday, February 19, 2018 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Intelligent systems that are capable of understanding natural languages can have many applications from healthcare to business to law. One of the ways we can formulate natural language understanding is by treating it as a task of mapping natural language text to its meaning representation: entities and relations anchored to the world. Knowledge bases (KBs) can facilitate natural language understanding by mapping words to their meaning representations, for example nouns to entities and verbs to relations. State of the art knowledge bases such as NELL, Freebase, and YAGO have been successful at constructing such knowledge bases, which contain beliefs about real world entities and relations, by leveraging the redundancy of millions of documents to detect language patterns. The accumulated knowledge have been used to improve the ability of intelligent systems to make inferences. Under multilingual and multimodal settings, knowledge bases present a virtuous learning opportunity: more and higher confident beliefs can be extracted by processing data in more languages or modalities; in turn, since entities and their relations in the KBs exist in the world no matter what language or modality is being used to express them, KBs can act as interlingua for relating corpora in different languages and modalities through KB entities and relations. This is especially useful for low resource languages where there are few if any aligned bilingual texts to support effective natural language

The Jacksonville Winn-Dixie to be closed along with 29 others in Florida and Georgia is a 6½-year-old store on Baymeadows Road near Florida 9A, a company spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.
The store is on a list of 30 "underperforming" stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi to be closed by Sept. 22. Twenty-four of the stores are in Florida and two are in Georgia, but the Baymeadows store is the only one closing in the region.
Shoppers reacted with surprise Wednesday because the store, at 10915 Baymeadows Road, is relatively new. It opened Nov. 5, 2003, in the newly built Point Meadows Shopping Center.
"If they close this one, I'd be shocked," said Mike Boyle of Jacksonville before the news of the closure was confirmed. "It's a growing area."
Bert and Tina Bost of Jacksonville Beach also were surprised.
"This is one of the best stores in town," Bert Bost said. "We always try to go to Winn-Dixie to support a local company."
Annette Marino, who lives near the store, said she will have to shop at the Publix store across the street.
"That's a shame. It's a store I visit three times a week," she said.
The chain said Tuesday it will pare down its chain of 514 stores and cut 120 corporate and field support jobs.

Alleged to have raped and nearly killed an 8-year-old girl in 1990, Dennis Earl Bradford has walked free for almost 19 years since the crime.
Bradford’s victim, Jennifer Schuett, is now 27. She never gave up hope that her attacker would be prosecuted, and thanks to DNA evidence, he has been apprehended. The FBI published an affidavit on the web detailing the horrific crime:
Jennifer was last seen inside her apartment at approximately 2:30 AM on August 10, 1990, leaving her mother’s bedroom and going to her bedroom. At approximately 7:00 AM, on August 10, 1990, Eliane discovered Jennifer was missing from her bedroom. At about 7:40 AM, an investigation was opened into the disappearance of Jennifer Schuett. Eliane reported that Jennifer was last seen wearing a pink shirt, pink shorts and white underwear with blue roses.
At about 6:30 PM on August 10, 1990, Jennifer was found in an empty field located behind 2112 California, Dickinson, County of Galveston, Texas. Jennifer was nude and her throat had been cut. Jennifer was unable to talk when located.
The crime occurred in Dickinson, Texas, and Bradford was captured in Little Rock, Arkansas. He is charged with attempted capital murder.

Well, it’s happened. Sullivan County has now gotten another 15 minutes in the national spotlight thanks to (or should I say because of?) Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins and his recent arrest on charges of DWI.
The Daily Beast website has listed him as one of the nine lousiest mayors out there, ranking him only just slightly below Toronto’s infamous foul-mouthed Rob Ford, aka the guy with an alleged crack habit.
News outlets from Washington D.C. to the midwest have the town “Monticello, New York” plastered in headlines.
Got that, folks? It isn’t just Gordon Jenkins, whose foul-mouthed and racially charged booking videos have horrified the nation. It’s Monticello.
Monticello is — whether the residents like it or not — tied to their mayor and being dragged into every single news mention of his antics.
Is this the Sullivan County we want out there? For the rest of the world to point fingers and mock?
More From Inside Out: Hunting Isn’t Pretty But It’s Part of Life
The only way to end that? Is to put up a united front. To make smart decisions.
To move forward in a way that tells the rest of the world that this bump in the road represents one man and his personal issues not Sullivan County as a whole.
WE are better than this, Sullivan County.
Let’s act it.
Here’s the first crazy video — including the infamous clock-throwing incident:
What can we do to get past this?

Additional damage to the already crumbling Westcountry road and pavement network is affecting business and tourism and landing motorists with increased repair bills, experts claim.
Cash-starved councils in the region face a repair bill in excess of £20 million after the winter downpours and subsequent flooding.
Now motoring group the AA has literally counted the cost of surface damage to the South West roads and pathways in its Streetwatch survey.
It calculated 5.2 potholes for every mile, or roughly 65,000 in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
Tim Jones, chairman of the Devon and Cornwall business council, said awareness of the problem was growing.
“It is not just the main roads which need to be kept in good order as minor routes can lead to important parts of our tourist economy,” he added.
The AA survey found that while the number of potholes in roads has fallen from an average of 14.9 last year to 12.5 this year, the state of footways was declining. The overall South West figure of 5.2 potholes per mile, was above average, with only London seeing less damage at 4.9.
AA president, Edmund King, said: “Patching up the roads after last winter’s ravages has brought some improvement but their condition is on a knife-edge and drivers are still likely to have to dodge potholes.”
Devon County Council was handed a share of a £100million fund set up by the Labour Government in 2011, after the winter freeze of 2010, for repairing potholes.
Now the authority predicts it may have to find £10 million to keep up with the worsening surface damage.
The leader of the Conservative-run council, John Hart, says members “don’t know” where to find the cash, which is £10 million and counting.
Stuart Hughes, the council’s cabinet member for highways, said the survey showed the “strides” made following consecutive severe winters, which saw a record 200,000 potholes filled in 2010, reducing to 130,000 repairs in 2011.
Councillor Hughes added: “We are already investing an extra £5 million this financial year and we will be receiving £6 million from the Department for Transport in the coming financial year for highway maintenance.
“But having sustained more than £10 million of damage on our network since last July due to flooding, it still falls well short of the amount we need to carry out repairs.”
Cornwall Council said the flooding had “accelerated the rate of damage” and a spokesman added: “November’s floods caused around £3 million of damage to our highways and environment infrastructure. We are assessing the damage following December’s floods and expect this figure to rise.”
A new study from Halfords claimed eight million vehicles a year suffer steering and suspension damage because of poorly maintained road surfaces, with complaints to councils doubling during December compared to the rest of 2012.

CASTRO VALLEY — Residents who have been waiting nearly two decades for a new, permanent tenant to move into the former Daughtrey’s department store building on Castro Valley Boulevard will have to keep waiting.
Greensfelder Commercial Real Estate, the developer charged with finding a new tenant for the long-vacant building and renovating it, terminated its agreements with the county to eventually buy the property.
David Greensfelder of Greensfelder Commercial said he made the decision after the Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council shot down a proposal last month that would have allowed Livermore-based Lost Worlds Adventures to occupy 25,000 square feer in the building and construct an indoor playground and entertainment venue there.
“We found a tenant that would work in the building, would work in an economic perspective and was able to accomplish all of the goals set forth in the (county’s agreement), and the MAC said no,” Greensfelder told the Daily Review in a Tuesday interview.
“At some point, I think you have to make a judgement by asking, ‘Am I working on the right project,’ and I think, after four years, the answer clearly was, ‘no.’ It was going to take a very long extension of deadlines (in the contract) to start over or require us to do things prematurely; you can’t draw a design when you don’t know what you’re drawing a design for,” he said.
The agreement, approved by Alameda County supervisors in June 2014, would have allowed Greensfelder Commercial Real Estate to buy the former Daughtrey’s department store for $860,000, if it completed “a series of actions including providing preliminary conceptual drawings, demonstrating pre-leasing commitment of no less than 10,000 square feet of retail space, and obtaining land use approvals.”
It included an 11-year provision that certain commercial uses such as dollar stores wouldn’t be allowed.
Under the agreement, Greensfelder Commercial Real Estate was required to submit preliminary conceptual development documents to the Alameda County Community Development Agency by March 7, 2017, regardless of who the proposed tenants were.
A laundry list of retailers, restaurants and companies expressed interest in the site over the past two years but eventually passed on it, including BevMo!, Big 5 Sporting Goods, Grocery Outlet, Guitar Center, Harbor Freight Tools, TargetExpress and Walgreens, Greensfelder said.
Archery ranges, batting cages, child care programs, fabric stores, hardware stores, medical facilities, mattress stores and restaurants also looked at the building but decided against pursuing a lease.
Many of those companies either had financially suitable locations elsewhere or found that the building did not match their needs, Greensfelder said.
“The building is a challenging one to divide, and the reason is because it’s 100 feet wide and 150 feet deep, so of course, any user wants the front on Castro Valley Boulevard,” Greensfelder said.
“If you divide the building down the middle, perpendicular to Castro Valley Boulevard, you end up with two bowling alleys … and that doesn’t work well for retail, so you have to divide the building front and back, but that presents another problem because you have a smaller user and a larger user who would have to go in the back. You have to convince a tenant who wants to go into the building that they should have absolutely no street frontage,” he said.
People who spoke at the Nov. 28 Castro Valley Municipal Advisory Council meeting didn’t care for Lost Worlds Adventures’ proposal.
Castro Valley resident Elaine Connolly said she did not oppose a possible Lost Worlds Adventures move into the community but felt that the former Daughtrey’s building was not the right spot for it.
“We have an outstanding location occupied by an outdated and ugly building that needs to be demolished before a community-enhancing and commercially viable tenant will be interested in it,” Connolly said at the meeting.
“I urge the MAC and county to demand excellence for this keystone site in Castro Valley. If Greensfelder isn’t able to deliver, let’s find another developer who will,” she said.
Castro Valley resident Sara Raymond said she would like the building to be demolished and transformed into a public open space.
“I think it’s absolutely critical to the longevity of our community, and to have a vibrant community in Castro Valley, to really focus on what’s important about our community,” Raymond said.
“Is it a tax basis that isn’t necessarily going to come back to our community … or is it a place where we can all congregate — any of us, all of us?” she said.
Daughtrey’s department store first opened in 1949 at Nunes Avenue and Castro Valley Boulevard before moving several blocks away in 1965 to 3295 Castro Valley Blvd. near Santa Maria Avenue. The family-owned business was sold by Keller Daughtrey in 1991 to Cleveland-based Kline’s Department Stores.
The former Alameda County Redevelopment Agency bought the building in 2011 for $2,797,000 under the threat of eminent domain, a move that allows a government agency to acquire private property for public use and provide fair compensation.
The threat was made after several unsuccessful attempts to work with the owner to renovate the building, county Economic and Civic Development Director Eileen Dalton said.

I am a designer with a masters degree in industrial design engineering from Luleå University f Technology. At the moment you find me in Södertälje, where I work with the drivers area in Scania buses. I have experience from planning and conducting design processes with user centred approach, from the planning stage to building of prototypes and implementation.
I love learning how things work technically, but I am also interested in the outer expression such as shape, materials and colors. And most of all, my interest lies in understanding user behavior and needs, in order to design relevant products from a human centered perspective. I am a curious person, often asking why and I am always trying to figure out how to improve things for the better.
Check out my work and don't hesitate to contact me for collaboration.


LABEL CONTROL SUB-123 PROG
Controls of all kinds are integral parts of restaurant equipment operations. A control is a switch or other device by which a machine is regulated. A control may be manual or automatically operated. An electro-mechanical control typically consists of multiple relays, timers, and/or counters wired together on an enclosure panel. Electro-mechanical control is also referred to simply as "Relay Control", which is a more accurate term since solid state electronic relays, timers, and counters are standard components. Contactors, motor and compressor starters, valves, thermostats, and other output devices are used to turn on/off motors, indicator lights, heating elements, and other components used in the equipment.
A label (as distinct from signage) is a piece of paper, plastic film, cloth, metal, or other material affixed to a container or product, on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item. Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labeling.
