After three years of arguing, petitioning and back-and-forth conversations, a mural in Los Angeles’ Koreatown was redone and unveiled last Wednesday.
The controversy: In 2016, a mural was put up on a wall of the Robert F. Kennedy Community School in Los Angeles honoring Hollywood icon and actress Ava Gardner. There were no qualms about the actress herself, but in 2018, Korean community groups and protestors took issue with the massive crimson sun rays emanating from her face, comparing them to a swastika or a burning cross, according to the Los Angeles Times.
- Protestors claimed the rays are too similar to the symbol of the imperial Japanese army during World War II — the rising sun. Those groups took offense and called for the mural to be taken down.
- During that time of war, the Japanese Empire subjected Koreans to heinous atrocities and left deep scars within the community.
- The mural’s artist, Beau Stanton, has featured multiple paintings with large sun rays before and said he did not mean to distress anyone with his depiction of Gardner. He said the accents around Gardner’s silhouette, along with the palm trees and the Grecian pillar, were “intended to honor the legendary Cocoanut Grove nightclub” that she frequented and that used to exist near the school, according to LAist.
- The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) initially announced that they would remove the mural amid complaints from the Wilshire Community Coalition and Chan Yong “Jake” Jeong, the coalition’s president and protest organizer against the mural. However, they soon received pushback from artists like Shepard Fairey, who said he would remove his own mural of Robert Kennedy from the campus if they went through with their decision, according to NBC Los Angeles.
What came of it: The community came together, and an initiative was led by “GYOPO, a collective of diasporic Korean artists in Los Angeles,” to revise the mural.
- Stanton redid parts of it and included input from students and members of the Koreatown community.
- “This process and initial public conversation surrounding the original mural has been a challenging and ultimately positive experience,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I genuinely hope this saga can serve as a constructive example of how to balance the input of local stakeholders with creative free expression in public art.”
- The mural now includes a traditional Korean pattern of a phoenix, a migrant worker harvesting oranges based on a historic photograph, and a uniformed Koreatown hotel worker photographed in 1935 with ties to the school building’s former occupant. Ava Gardner is “crowned with flowers specific to the national origins of many of the students whose families immigrated from Mexico, Korea, Guatemala, El Salvador and other parts of Latin America.” The sun rays are also there but significantly less bold and muted behind the additions.
- “Three years ago, we entered into a space of not knowing what was going to happen when we were informed about the impact that the mural had on our community, on our Korean community,” Roberto Martinez, LAUSD’s senior school district administrator said. “You’ve taught us what the word community means, what leadership means…We have created a space of love and respect.”
- The president of the Wilshire Center Koreatown Neighborhood Council, Kisuk Jun, initially collected 1,400 signatures to get rid of the mural. He approved of the new mural stating, “We came together and now it’s more beautiful—because it symbolizes Los Angeles.”

|September 26, 2007|
|FURTHER UPDATE: On December 6, 2007, Democratic leaders of Congress dropped the Kennedy "hate crimes" amendment from the Defense Authorization bill because "We don't have the votes." Thank you for your calls, letters and emails!|
|UPDATE: On September 27th, 2007, the Senate voted on the cloture motion to proceed to final passage of the Kennedy "hate crimes" amendment to the DOD Authorization bill (H.R. 1585). The cloture vote was successful by a vote of 60-39 (Roll Call 350). Although the Hatch Amendment also passed (96-3), it is the Kennedy language that will most likely be sustained in the final bill. Please continue to encourage the 39 Senators who voted "no" on cloture on the Kennedy Amendment to oppose its inclusion in the final Defense Authorization bill.|
HATE CRIMES AND THE DEFENSE BILL DO NOT MIX!
Urge your Senators to Vote NO on the Hate Crimes Amendment!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has filed cloture on Ted Kennedy’s (D-MA) Hate Crimes bill as an amendment to the 2008 Department of Defense Authorization (H.R.1585). Back on May 3rd, President Bush released a statement saying that if such hate crimes legislation were to reach his desk, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto it. Reid, no doubt, understands that neither the House nor the Senate could override a veto; thus, he is attempting to insert this language into the DOD Authorization because it will be harder for President Bush to veto the entire bill.
The language of the Kennedy amendment is identical to the language of H.R. 1592, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which passed the House on May 3, 2007 by a vote of 237-180. If it passes, this amendment would make hate crimes (a crime in which the victim is intentionally selected based on his or her race, religion, ethnicity, gender, etc.) a federal offense and it would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes in the U.S. criminal code (Title 18). This amendment violates both the 1st and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution by attempting to regulate speech, religious expression, and equal protection under the law for all citizens.
We don’t need a new law to combat hate crimes! Almost all 50 states have their own laws to fully prosecute such acts. The amendment is expected to come up for a vote sometime in the next few days. We need your help to stop this sneaky maneuver to insert such a controversial and problematic piece of legislation into the DOD Authorization! Call your Senators today!
Call your Senators’ offices and let them know that you expect them to vote NO on the Kennedy Amendment! This amendment may receive a vote as early as Wednesday, September 26th! If not, the vote will most likely occur on Thursday, the 27th.
Call Your Senators Today!

This post from Back Road Journal says it all – Maine, The Way Summer Should Be
You can’t say I didn’t warn you about the forthcoming barrage of salad and other veggie-heavy recipes. My cousin Cathy has made a stawberry and spinach salad for years – it’s consistently served when we have dinner at her house – and I’ve always loved it, yet never made one myself. When I came across this recipe in Maine Home Cooking, I couldn’t resist. It can be found under Fresh and Seasonal, page 220.
- 4 to 8 ounces of spinach
- 1/2 large red onion, or to taste
- 1 cup (or less) strawberries
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon-style mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine, malt, or balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or your favorite vinaigrette salad dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Remove the big stems from the largest spinach leaves and shred the spinach into a bowl. Chop the onion finely and toss into the bowl with the spinach. Slice the strawberries and add them to the spinach to suit your taste. Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, and olive oil, and sample the dressing by dipping a spinach leaf into it, then add salt and pepper to taste. Dress the salad lightly just before serving.
While this recipe sounded great with no additions, I made two adjustments. First, I added goat cheese. I had a feeling that it would become a deliciously creamy addition to the vinaigrette, and it did. Second, on Nick’s serving, I added cooked and chopped chicken, so he’d have a bit more protein to bulk up the meal.
We both loved this salad – it was every bit as tasty as I’d hoped, and we’re adding it to our meal plan on a regular basis.
Today, I’m following up my post on Blacksmiths Winery with a post about craft beer and a great opportunity to enjoy it, and the great city of Portland, this weekend at The Festival. Brought to you by the Shelton Brothers, The Festival features three tasting sessions with brews and brewers from all over the world. What makes this festival different (and worth the ticket price) is that it focuses on showcasing small, craft brewers and cideries from all over the world – and the people who make them will actually be there to meet you and talk with you. In addition, session attendance is limited to no more than 1,200 people per session, so you’re less crowded and the brewers have more time to talk with you.
The sessions begin tomorrow, June 21st, with Session 1 running from 6:30pm – 10:30pm, and Sessions 2 and 3 on Saturday, June 22nd, from 1pm – 5pm and 6:30pm – 10:30pm, respectively. The event is being held at the Portland Yacht Services Building, 58 Fore St., Portland, Maine. Among the brewers participating, there are several local businesses: Maine Beer Co, Maine Mead Works, Allagash (a personal favorite!), Oxbow, Rising Tide, Bull Jagger, and Marshall Wharf.
Food vendors include The Thirsty Pig (a favorite of my mom’s – and eventually, a topic on this blog), Bite Into Maine, Pizza Pie on the Fly, Hella Good Tacos, Binga’s Wingas, and Small Axe.
I only wish I had known about this event sooner! Keeping track of it for next year (even if it’s not in Maine)!
It appears that Saturday afternoon’s Session 2 is sold out… but follow the link below for tickets to Session 1 and 3:
Over the last decade, the popularity of wine has grown rapidly throughout the US. A well-loved beverage throughout human history, wine does carry an intimidation factor – those who don’t know much about it have simply avoided it in the past – rather than being forced to discuss flavors of pear and citrus, or smoke and plums, with their wine-wise friends. From my perspective, one of the benefits local wineries and vineyards offer to those formerly intimidated by the world of wine is an accessible, relaxed atmosphere in which to try it and learn about it.
Maine has not been immune to the wine fervor, with vineyards and wineries popping up around the state. I hope to visit more of them in the future, but this post is all about Blacksmiths Winery and my experiences there at wine tastings. It’s no secret that Nick and I enjoy a good glass of wine, and my mom actually introduced us to Blacksmiths on Nick’s first trip to Maine with me more than four years ago. Nick knows much more about wine than I do, and he is the person who taught me most of what I know.
Our first venture into Blacksmiths was a great experience. Located in South Casco, Maine, we headed there from my parents’ home on Sebago Lake to pick up some wine for Thanksgiving dinner (and of course, enjoy a tasting!). The tasting room space is charming and rustic – the decor very fitting for a New England winery – and includes a gift shop space with wine-themed items for purchase.
From the colonial exterior to the comfortable, warm ambience inside, I enjoyed everything about my first, second, and ongoing experiences at Blacksmiths Winery. This is a great spot to stop for a bachelorette party, girls’ (or guys’) night out, a family visit (they have soda for the under 21s), and more.
Their beverage list is quite extensive and has grown in recent years. On my first visit, they offered soda and wine, but most recently, I saw that they are also offering hard ciders under the brand Fatty Bampkins. So far, I’ve stuck with the wines, and primarily the French varietals at that, but I think next time I’ll give the ciders a whirl. Of the wines I’ve tried, the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are my favorites. They make a big, flavorful Cab, with a strong smoky taste – really perfect for a steak or roast.
As ice wines go, I thought their Vidal Ice Wine was outstanding. I prefer dry wines over sweet, but with this dessert wine, you don’t even need the dessert itself. It’s that good!
I hope you’ll make time to visit Blacksmiths on your next visit to that part of Maine – I can assure you won’t regret it. They also offer shipping to 19 states (see list here) and use vinoshipper.com. They ship to NC, so I do see a purchase in my near future!

Brace yourselves for an onslaught of salad recipes! There is something about these early days of summer that makes me crave a crisp, refreshing salad (and it has nothing to do with the beginning of bathing suit season). Frankly, I should be eating more salad and other leafy greens year round, but my own early-summer cravings, in addition to my husband’s request that we eat a bit lighter (hmm, do you think I make too much pasta?), led me to peruse my Maine cookbooks in search of some delicious, exciting salad recipes. They didn’t disappoint.
If you’re thinking, ‘a Mediterranean Chicken Salad recipe from Maine? Yeah right,’ you do have a point. I pulled this recipe from my Maine Home Cooking cookbook, under the Modern Maine Cooking section. In an introductory paragraph, Sandra Oliver acknowledges that many of the recipes in that section are a reflection of outside influences, both international and national. Maine home cooks, like cooks elsewhere, want to experiment at home with the recipes they’re able to try at restaurants. The following recipe serves 3 to 4 people.
- a whole chicken (cooked), breasts and a thigh
- 1 big fistful of green beans
- 2 tablespoons capers
- a dozen black olives, pitted and chopped
- handful of cherry tomatoes (optional)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- dried oregano
- finely minced parsley
- salt and pepper, to taste
- washed and torn lettuce or baby greens
Because Nick and I certainly don’t need to consume an entire chicken between us (and I’m not a big fan of salad leftovers – in my opinion, the greens just don’t keep well), I poached a couple of chicken breasts in a broth with onion, several peppercorns, and some white wine. After it was cooked, I shredded it for use in the salad. I also think a rotisserie chicken would be a delicious and speedy answer for cooks who would rather not undertake cooking the chicken themselves.
Pull the meat from the bones, cut into bite-size pieces, and put them into a bowl. Snap the beans and blanch them in hot water or cook until tender – your choice (I simmered mine until they were slightly tender, but retained a little bit of crunch). Add them to the chicken. Sprinkle capers on to taste, add the olives, slice the tomatoes in half (if you wish), and add them. In a small jar, shake the olive oil and lemon juice together and dribble over the salad to taste. Sprinkle on some dry oregano, parsley, and add salt and pepper to taste. Let rest at room temperature. Serve the salad on the lettuce or greens.
This salad was every bit as good as I imagined it would be when reading the recipe. Personally, I love the caper and lemon flavors, and with the addition of chicken, it was a light but filling meal that really hit the spot. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
In lieu of a post today, I want to direct you to a Portland Press Herald article I read and enjoyed this morning. Written by Meredith Goad, Staff Writer, this piece, with the headline “Portland’s hardest-working chef piles more on his plate,” is all about Harding Lee Smith, owner of the popular “Room” restaurants. Personally, I very much appreciated Goad’s balanced approach to telling Smith’s story – covering not only how his upbringing and youthful experiences contributed to his current and future success, but also the ways in which the negative press has dogged him at times. I would say his success speaks for itself, and I wish him all the best with this new endeavor.
I hope you enjoy this article as well, and I know I’ll certainly be visiting one of Smith’s restaurants during my next trip to Maine!

PHILADELPHIA, PA (April 20, 2016) – Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), a global leader in food, facilities management and uniforms, earned a place on the 2016 25 Noteworthy Companies for Diversity list, DiversityInc announced during diversity and inclusion’s keystone event held at Cipriani Wall Street on Tuesday, April 19.
DiversityInc’s annual survey – tracking the nation’s top companies when it comes to hiring, retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with disabilities, LGBT and veterans – is the most rigorous, data-driven survey of its kind, gauging detailed demographics based on race/ethnicity and gender at some of the largest U.S. employers.
“We saw 23 companies increase their standings on the DiversityInc Top 50 and Specialty Lists in 2016, and more than 1,000 companies submitting for contention on the list,” said Luke Visconti, DiversityInc’s founder and CEO. “We are very encouraged by the commitment and dedication to diversity management shown by these top performing companies.”
Companies with more than 1,000 U.S.-based employees are eligible to enter, and there is no cost to compete. Each company’s rank is based on an objective analysis of 183 separate factors, based on data from a 300-question survey. The four equally weighted areas of measurement are Talent Pipeline, Equitable Talent Development, CEO/Leadership Commitment and Supplier Diversity.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Sebacic Acid Market By Source (Castor Oil, And Adipic Acid), By Application (Personal Care & Cosmetics, Lubricants & Greases, Metalworking Fluids, Plastics, Polymers and Others), By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Sebacic Acid Market was valued at around USD250 million in 2019 and is projected to grow at a steady pace during the forecast period.
Growing demand for sebacic acid from the automotive industry is one of the key factors for the growth of the Global Sebacic Acid Market during forecast period.

Based on application, the market can be segmented into personal care & cosmetics, lubricants & greases, metalworking fluids, plastics, polymers and others. Among them, the personal care & cosmetics sector dominated the market until 2019 and is projected to maintain its lead over the forecast period as well. This growth is attributable to its use as a pH adjuster, firm filming agent, and fragrance enhancer in numerous products, which is likely to increase its demand in cosmetics industry, thereby boosting the growth of the Global Sebacic Acid Market over the coming years.
Major players operating in the Global Sebacic Acid Market include Wincom, Inc, Sebacic India Ltd, Arkema, Jayant Agro-Organics Ltd, Hokoku Corporation, Tianxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Shipra Agrichem Pvt.

Nature reserves are separated areas with special natural values, preserved in their natural state or slightly changed. Forest management is limited in these areas. In Poland nowadays, there are 1441 nature reserves, 671 of which occupy the total area of over 61 thousand hectares. Nature reserves make 1.6 % of the area of forests managed by the State Forests.
Bolesław Grochowski nature reserve „Dąbrowa Berzeźnicka" was founded in 1989. The objective of creating the nature reserve was to preserve for scientific, teaching and social purposes fragments of the oak-hornbeam forest (multi-species and multi-layer broadleaved forest) and Euro-Siberian steppic woods with numerous oaks being natural monuments.
The reserve covers the area of 5,88 ha in the Forest District Brzeźnica and is subject to partial protection. It is located in the southern part of the Miodnica district forests, on both sides of the picturesquely winding Brzeźnica river and its side stream. The area of the reserve has the form of an undulated moraine.The forest stands in the reserve have been preserved in their natural or very close to natural state. The fauna is represented , apart from many bird species, by wild mammals: roe-deer, wild boar, fox, hare and numerous small animals.
The reserve is open to visitors.

University of Hunger: Collected Poems & Selected Prose
The Guyanese poet Martin Carter (1927-97) was one of the foremost Caribbean writers of the 20th century and is considered a father figure of modern Caribbean poetry. Twice imprisoned by the colonial government of British Guiana in the 1950s, he became a minister in Guyana's first independent government during the 60s, representing his country at the United Nations. Disillusioned after three years, he resigned to live "simply as a poet, remaining with the people." Wise, angry, and hopeful, Carter's poetry voices a life lived in times of crisis. This helpfully annotated collection is the first of its kind and includes key essays on race, colonialism, political action and the role of the poet in a postcolonial society.

Electric power is the bane of India: politicians of all colours use to to bribe voters and make money; as a result, power is expensive and unreliable - a major reason for India's uncompetitiveness. Suresh Prabhu was one of BJP's more rational and honest ministers; no wonder he left before he could make a difference. This column was published in Business Standard of 27 March 2001.
DO NOT MAKE WEAK MOVES
Suresh Prabhu looks incongruous in the company he keeps. He wears a shirt and trousers; no billowing dhotis, no technicolour drapes, no floppy sandals, no orange waistcoats, no swanky turbans for him. The only telltale sign that betrays his provenance is an occasional, carelessly smeared-on red dot. He is also much younger than his venerable colleagues; in our gerontocracy, he and Omar Abdullah look as strange as Sushma Swaraj would in a fashion parade.
He is a Shiv Sainik. That is the party of the foul-tongued Bal Thackeray, the rowdy party that within five years managed to wreck the finances of Maharashtra, India’s richest state – something it could not have done altruistically. So it is quite a surprise to meet Prabhu trying to lay down the law to unruly state governments.
The ministry that he heads has been the seat of some of the most blatant corruption. For the modus operandi, read the Jain diaries; they allege equipment suppliers giving fat commissions to power ministers and bureaucrats. And although we cannot be sure just why he wanted to do so, Prabhu’s immediate predecessor, Rangarajan Kumaramangalam, wanted to give out orders for power plants on a scale never before dreamt of. So if Prabhu were to follow tradition, he would be able to wreck the power PSUs as decisively as his party did Maharashtra government.
But instead, Prabhu has taken on the mantle of a reformer. He says that the state electricity boards are bankrupt, and he wants to restore their financial health. According to him, distribution is the key. The SEBs must meter all connections, and begin to charge all consumers. Next, they must begin to earn enough to meet their obligations. To this end, he is trying to make state governments sign memoranda of understanding with his ministry.
To add to his clout, he got the finance minister to say in his budget speech that he was prepared to make a “one-time settlement” of the SEBs’ dues to central government undertakings – what they owe for the power and coal they have taken – provided they reformed themselves. In other words, he dangled a carrot before the state governments: if they began to collect enough from power consumers to meet their current payments, the central government would write off some of their dues.
Prabhu went further and got the Prime Minister to address assembled state power ministers on 3 March and deliver the same message: start paying for the coal and power you are taking.
What was the calculation behind these high-profile messages? Presumably Prabhu thinks that while the state ministers may not have sufficient respect for his youthful self, they may be daunted by the finance minister who carries financial clout, and embarrassed by the Prime Minister whom some venerate.
But as he walked out after hearing the Prime Minister, Rajnath Singh immediately called the bluff: he said he would not start charging farmers because “they could not pay”. In other words, he was saying, do your worst; I will continue to draw the central producers’ power free, and just you try to stop me.
How could Rajnath Singh be so openly insolent? Because the Prime Minister has made him chief minister of Uttar Pradesh with a one-line brief: he has to win the next assembly election. Lucknow, the Prime Minister’s constituency, is the capital of Uttar Pradesh; the Prime Minister has all his eggs in Rajnath Singh’s basket.
So does Prabhu have a chance? Not really. Five states have signed MOUs with him, but those MOUs will go the same way as the hundreds of MOUs the central government used to sign with public enterprises. When the time comes, state power ministers will find a hundred reasons for reneging on their commitments. They will do exactly what Rajnath Singh will do, only less brazenly. Some would say less honestly.
Not only have Prabhu’s plans been torpedoed by his political ally even before they could be put in place, they are not even worth pursuing. Prabhu envisages a sequence in which the SEBs would first instal meters for every consumer, then start charging farmers a nominal price, then over the years, raise it so as to make power production viable. Just because there is a meter outside his door, a consumer does not have to pay. If he is a farmer, he can collect his friends and block roads or railway lines; if he is a townsman, he will bribe a linesman to doctor the meter.
To which Prabhu has an answer: the meters will be not be at the final destination – the doorstep – but at the origin – in the power station or the at the step-down transformer. But the problem lies not in the lack of technology but in the lack of will. For the same reason as Rajnath Singh, the owners of SEBs do not want to collect the correct price from a farmer or a domestic consumer. And as to Yashwant Sinha’s carrot, that the SEBs’ debts to power PSUs will be written off, every chief minister knows that Sinha is offering a carrot because he does not have a stick.
So why are the heavyweights like the PM and the finance minister making such a noise? Because Vilasrao Deshmukh has opened their eyes. If a state government does not pay its dues to a foreigner, the central government will have to pay them. It is already paying for Enron on account of Maharashtra government’s fecklessness. Every “reforming” state government is borrowing billions from the World Bank for its power reforms; when the reforms fail, the central government will have to pay the bill.
Does the centre have an option? I have three to offer. First, pass a central act abolishing the monopoly of the state electricity boards, and saying clearly that anyone can sell power to anyone else. This is the minimum; it will be enough to let the horribly exploited industrial customers escape from the SEBs’ clutches, sell power to one another and set up economic plants. In states that have separated transmission from generation, it can also be decreed that the transmission corporation will be a common carrier: that it will carry power from anyone to anyone else at a common, non-discriminatory tariff.
Second, abandon the central power plants and coal mines as so much junk. Tell the state governments in which they are located that they can do whatever they like with them. In other words, they can close them down and create power shortages all over the country, or begin to run them at a profit.
Third, impose a tax on all power sold by the SEBs equal to the marginal cost of power – probably about Rs 2 a unit – and put the revenue into a fund which will be given to the states that abolish discriminatory and below-cost pricing of electricity.
I sympathize with Prabhu’s good intentions and appreciate his desire to do something. But I would give him the advice I used to get from a Japanese friend who beat me all the time in Go: don’t make weak moves.


Kendrick Lamar Releases “i”: Listen To The New Single
After the musical bomb that was good kid, m.A.A.d. city, Kendrick Lamar follows up his 2012 debut with a brand new single – simply titled, “i.” The song, produced by Rahki, is the first insight to the rapper’s highly anticipated, yet-to-be-titled sophomore album.
“i” is an inspiring track, where Lamar triumphantly shouts “I love myself” throughout the chorus. The Isley Brothers‘ “That Lady” sample also boosts the song’s groovy nature. “i” definitely doesn’t sound like anything that is on urban radio – there are no trap influences, heavy bass drops or overtly explicit lyrics.
But don’t just take our word for it! Listen to “i” after the jump.
With songs like “m.A.A.d city” and “Backseat Freestyle” in his arsenal, many people were probably expecting a more hardcore sound from the California rapper. “i” is by no means an instant hit, and it will probably be a grower. But with all of the violence and tension occurring throughout America, “i” may just be the song we needed to uplift our spirits.
What are your thoughts on K. Dot’s comeback single? Let us know in the comments below!

What good am I as a person if I can't compete in today's hypercompetitive world? If I don't have that killer instinct, that ambition. If I'm simply just not good at anything? To the thinking of many I don't really deserve to live.
Those are the questions I've been asking myself the last couple years, and I've suffered through massive confidence issues and mental crises as a result. Even burger flipping seems beyond me at this point.
I haven't been employed for years. Whatever few job interviews I've had never go well. I assume they just take one look at me and nope out of there. If there are any good qualities to me at all, they are not “marketable”. What hope is there for me, when even the strong, smart, fast, good looking and socially charming are struggling in our capitalistic society today?

iPhone 6S design with believable styling
One thing we’re seeing plenty of at the moment is concept ideas for the iPhone 6 due to release later this year. However, the design we’re showing you here today goes one step further than that as it’s a vision of the iPhone 6S. Rather than being too futuristic this iPhone 6S design offers believable styling loosely based on the iPhone 5S.
This isn’t the first iPhone 6S render we’ve seen and you can see another recent one here along with a design for the iPhone 6C. We always enjoy looking at concept ideas as they can offer some insight into what may be on the way, and this latest design comes from Aitor Amigo.
The designer has also come up with some imagined specs for his iPhone 6S creation and these include an Apple A8 quad-core processor and M8 coprocessor, a display with resolution of 2048 x 1152 and 470 ppi (size unspecified but bigger than on the iPhone 5S), and four different internal storage models up to 128GB.
Further specs include a 16-megapixel iSight camera with 2160p@30fps video capture or 1080/720p@120fps, a 5-megapixel front-facing unit, and of course Touch ID. This iPhone 6S weighs 127g and is just 6.8mm thick. You can see a couple of the concept images here and there are more at the source below. Would you like to see an iPhone 6S with a similar appearance to this?

Clint Frazier may have an uncertain future with the franchise, but he has not lost the support of the Yankees’ principal owner.
“I think he’s got a great career ahead of him,” Hal Steinbrenner said Wednesday at the MLB owners’ meetings in Midtown. “He’s got a lot of talent. … He’ll be a big part of this team going forward. He certainly has the capability of doing that.”
The 24-year-old outfielder, who could be one of the Yankees’ top trade chips before the July 31 deadline, has had a mixed start to the season. Before he was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday as part of a roster crunch, he was batting .283 with an .843 OPS and 11 home runs. But he also had some rough games defensively in right field, refused to speak with reporters after one of those games and later took exception to the way he’s been portrayed in the media — bringing his ability to block out the noise into question.
Steinbrenner said “nobody works harder” than Frazier and pointed to his journey to the Bronx when asked about his maturity.
“Look, he didn’t come up through our system,” Steinbrenner said of Frazier, whom the Yankees acquired from the Indians in 2016. “These are some of the issues you’re talking about … we work on from Day 1 when these kids are 16 years old in the Gulf Coast League. Maybe more so than other organizations, because other organizations don’t play in New York City. The maturity, in many respects, is there. But we all become more mature every year of our life. So there’s going to be improvements in all areas, I have no doubt.”
Frazier finally reported to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, near the end of a 72-hour window he had following Sunday’s demotion.
Steinbrenner is among those looking into the Yankees’ rehab protocol after multiple players have developed new injuries while rehabbing this season.
Luis Severino and Dellin Betances both suffered lat strains while recovering from shoulder injuries, and Jordan Montgomery (Tommy John surgery, then shoulder discomfort) joined the list this week.
“I’m very hands on. I can assure you the injuries have been a concern and we have looked,” Steinbrenner said before the Yankees’ 12-1 blowout win over the Rays. “I wish I could tell you there’s a smoking gun. There is no smoking gun. … We’ve looked at everything, from what goes on in the weight room to the training room, down at [the minor league complex] in Tampa [where] a lot of the rehab happens. Other areas we can improve, I’m sure at the end of the year when we put all this data together and look, we might find a few areas we can improve. But there’s not much going on this year that wasn’t going on last year, and last year we had a fairly normal [season], as far as ILs are concerned.”
Steinbrenner credited GM Brian Cashman for finding talented depth players who kept the Yankees afloat through early injuries this season and manager Aaron Boone for his “calming influence” during that time.
He also cited the Yankees’ pro scouting, performance science and analytics staff in identifying that talent.
“No team is doing more in the performance science world than we are,” he said.
Steinbrenner said ticket revenue at Yankee Stadium is “almost identical” to last season, despite attendance being down considerably — 2,634 per game through Tuesday.

Sanjida is the main actor of this initiative. She is cultivating various vegetables, producing seedling, conserving seed along with other agriculture related work. Sanjida has made her house exemplary wealthy in agriculture.
Sanjida said “I am growing almost every type of seasonal vegetables and have different fruit trees in my premises. We are living in char; every year flood makes the land of char very fertile. We are using cow dung and organic-insecticide. So, we have good production with low cost. Vegetables and other crops of char have good demand for their nutrition value and market price is high. Shoto Bari will contribute a lot to fulfill people’s nutrition.’
She also said, ‘In my house premises I have cultivated potol (a vegetable) in 33 decimals of land. I have made macha (bamboo frame to climb creeper) to climb potol plants. My land is not affected by flood; so, every week we are harvesting 2 mons (80kg) potol and sell it for TK 1800-2000 per mon. Farmers of Gangadhradi, Baliachar, Nutunhat, Notakhola, Baniajuri-Manikgonj, Ghior, Bathimuri and Mohammadpur-Dhaka collected seedlings from me and cultivated potol.’
However, during this pandemic situation BARCIK has facilitated farmers, women and community people to make the proper use of their lands leaving nothing uncultivated. The initiative called Shoto Bari (Hundred houses as BARCIK targets to transforms 100 hundred houses as nutrition banks in each its 4 working areas). In that process a discussion was held with the enlisted farmers of Shoto Bari at Horihorodia village. Bimal Roy coordinator BARCIK Manikganj discussed about the importance of nutrition sensitive agriculture and mentioned that BARCIK has selected 100 farmers’ houses as ‘Shoto Bari’ in Manikganj. He mentioned that Shoto Bari is rich in agrobiodiversity , where famers should grow plenty of diversified seasonal vegetables and fruits; have cow, goat and poultry. These food productions are contributing to marginalized people’s nutrition need and also ensure safe food for them.
Selected farmers of Shoto Bari have taken measures to make their home as a model. Farmer Lutfur Rahman thus said, ‘Round the year I am growing different vegetables such as potol, eggplant, chili, tomato, potato. I cultivated potol in highland beside my home. I have mango, jackfruit, guava, pani fol, wood apple, pomelo tree. I am also cultivating rice and wheat. There are pigeon, goat, cow, chicken, duck in my house. My family mostly depends on our own agriculture production rather than market. I request everyone to make proper use of every inch of their lands to meet nutrition demands of us all.’

Interested in learning about basic OSPF? OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First and is a routing protocol adaptive for IP networks. It uses a routing algorithm at link state and falls into the interior protocols for routing and operating using one autonomous system. OSPF was originally defined as the 2nd version in RFC 2328. Basically, the concept of routing at link state is that every node connects to other nodes. Then, each of the nodes then calculates the next best path logical from this to every destination possible in the network. The node’s routing table will then be formed by the collection of best paths. Here is an online course entitled Learn OSPF for Enterprise and Service Provider Networks that will help you learn everything you need to know to quickly configure OSPF.
OSPF is a protocol of routing allowing packets of date to follow and select the network’s most suitable and shortest data path. No particular manufacture maintains or owns this open standard protocol, in Cisco networks, OSPF is the most prevalent. In networks at enterprise level, this protocol is popular because in general it changes propagate quickly to client machines and is easy to configure. You do need some knowledge of TCP-IP, router and network principles to configure OSPF protocol, however.
Why Select OSPF?
Compared to other protocols of routings, there are major reasons to select OSPF. For one, there is ease of configuration and availability in a wide range of routers. For basic configurations, OSPF is actually one of those protocols easiest to configure and most routers support it as it is an open standard.
OSPF is actually a linking state route protocol used for allowing routers to learn routes dynamically from other router types and for advertising the route it finds to other router types as well. All the link states are kept track of by the OSPF router between the networks it attempts of sending information to and also to itself. This makes a routing protocol link-state. Classless ranges of IP address is supported by OSPF with efficiency. The number of routes advertised is used by OSPF to organize into hierarchical structured network. LSA’s which stand for Link State Advertisements are advertisements that contain routes Route information is summarized to get the advertised number of routes reduced, thus reducing the load of the network. It uses a router designated for reducing frequency and quantity of the LSA. It is required by OSPF that the router has a processor full of power and compared to other protocols of routing, more memory as well. Here is an article entitled An IP Subnet-the Building Blocks of Network Design that shows you how important IP subnets are.
Ideal routes are selected by OSPF through locating destination paths with the least cost. All links (called ‘router interfaces’) have costs. A route’s cost equals to the configured costs sum on every link outbound between the destination network and the router, plus the configured cost on the interfaces that the LSA was received on by OSPF. By the way if you are interested in becoming a full blown network engineer, this is the course to take. With that mentioned, here is a closer look at a good OSPF Network:
OSPF Routing Metric
Path cost is what OSPF uses as its basic metric for routing. In actual practices, many router types will determine the local cost on the router by looking at the internet speed. For instance, a 100Mbps link might have a cost of 1 and a 10Mbps might have a cost of 10.
Remember that this isn’t transport speed, however, but rather, interface speed. If you have a back haul that has a physical interface of 100Mbps but can only pass 5Mbps the router calculates this as an interface of 100Mbps for calculations of path cost.
Generally you can assume that in practice, OSPF calculates the best path to take by count of hop, assuming there are equal speeds of the interface. This calculation can be manipulated by putting fixed costs to an interface in particular. It is important that you are aware of which methods a router will take to decide where to send a packet. Interested in re-routing OSPF? Here is a course about a video boot camp that has to do with OSPF, Stubs and More.
Any router that is neighboring hearing the message HELLO will then learn:
– The RID/Router ID of all routers known
– The RID/Router ID of the BDR
– The Designated Router’s ID
– Five HELLO’s Failed/The DEAD interval
– HELLO intervals
– Participating Area ID of the neighbor
– RID/Router ID of the neighbor.
A neighbor of OSPF is other routes adjacent that has a connection to the routers, whether virtually (in a tunnel), logically or physically and to this the router supposedly should exchange route information and which runs OSPF as well. When enabling OSPF, a message of HELLO is addressed (Try typing 89 on your header IP) and this is sent to the 225.O.O.5 IP address, which is the OSPF multi-cast address that is assigned by IANA. This floods out all participating interfaces in OSPF ever ten seconds.
Router Types of OSPF
The first 2 routers are elected by OSPF to manage LSA’s or Link State Advertisements:
Back-up Designated Router(BDR) – When the DR fails, the BDR takes over. The Designated Router is determined by an election process which also elects a BDR.
Designated Router(DR) – Every area of OSPF has a BDR and a Designated Router (DR). The DR tracks of all the updates of the state of the links and ensures that using Reliable Multicast Transport, the LSA’s then flood the rest of the network. The router is this DR which gets LSA’s sent by all the other routers in the area.
Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) – This is when the OSPF Autonomous System is connected by a router to another Autonomous System.
Area Border Router (ABR) – When not just a single area is connected by a router, this is called an ABR or Area Border Router. These are used for connecting areas that are non-backbone to the backbones. ABR’s are also utilized if virtual links are used by OSPF so that the area gets connected to other areas classified non-backbone using virtual links.
Backbone Router- In Area 0 Backbone Routers have more than one interface
Internal Router-These connect to only one area in OSPF. All of the interfaces connect to the area where it is located and not to any of the other areas.
Areas of OSPF
Areas of OSPF are used for imposing a structure of hierarchy to the data flow over each of the networks. A network that uses OPF always contain a minimum of a single area but if over a single area exists, then one needs to be an area called the ‘backbone.’ The hierarchy of OSPF just has two levels, the backbones plus the other attached areas to this. Each area is utilized for grouping routers into groups that can be managed which locally get route information exchanged. At the same time the areas also summarize the route information which externally advertises the routes. A standards network of OSPF looks a bit like a large bubble, this is the area called the backbone. There are many ‘stub areas’ as well, which are smaller ‘bubbles.’ For instance an ABR or Area Border Router is used for connecting each area. Next, a DR or designated router is then elected for every area as well as a designated backup router for assisting the flood of LSA’s in the vicinity.
Area O (Backbone)
Into any network that uses OSPF, the 1st location to build in all the time would be this one, Area 0, which is also known as the backbone. Every other area is to the backbone a directly connected part of OSPF. When you design a backbone OSPF, you need to ensure that there is minimal or no possibilities of this location being divided in 2 or more aspects through a link failure or a router. If Area 0 splits because access lists or hardware failure, sizable network areas may become hard to reach.
It is only to the area of the backbone that a stub is connected to. These areas are at the receiving ends of routes originating from inside the system of autonomy even if the routes come from external areas. At the same time, they do not get routes from out of the system of autonomy.
Totally Stub/ Stubby Area
These areas only have a connection to the area of the backbone. A totally stub, also known as ‘totally stubby’ areas don’t do advertisements of the known routes. It doesn’t send any LSA either. The only routes that totally stub areas receive are the route defaults from an area on the external, which is the backbone. Default routes allow totally stubby areas to be able to ‘talk’ to the remaining network.
Using separate networks for connecting the network of internal enterprise to the net is frequently advisable. There are provisions made by OSPF for positioning an ASBR within the non-backbone arenas. In cases like this, the area of the stub needs to find out what the route style is outside of the system of autonomy is of OSPF. When this happens, it allows external areas to know about route systems which are outside of the domain of OSPF routing.
Router Identification of OSPF
This will identify a router specified in the topology of OSPF. The ID of the Router is either the interface’s IP with the number highest for IP addresses or if the addresses are designated to the interface loopback. Using the interface for loopback makes the OSPF environment more stable as the interface for loopback (unlike interface that can fail such as the kind that is physical) is always going on. When there is a failure for an interface that is physical, the router ID of OSPF might change, triggering the flooding of link state advertising and the router election.
In operations, there are many OSPF Timers including:
-Link Database Updates occur when there are changes in the OSPF table of routes, or it has been half an hour since the previous changes, whichever first occurs.
-The Dead Timer is by default forty seconds and is usually four times the HELLO timer.
-The HELLO Timer is by default ten seconds.
Election of Designated Router
Once you choose the designated router, this remains the router designated until failure occurs.
Hope this helps! If you are interested in learning more, here is an online course called CCNA OSPF On-Demand Video Boot Camp that tackles fundamentals of OSPF and the tricky configurations of hub and spoke!

Nothing suddenly speeds up the snail’s pace of social progress like the opportunity for mega-corps to profit. Like smoking the reefer and pleasurable physical contact, Dungeons and Dragons was once seen as a gateway for Satan to turn us into sock puppets. Now, the role-playing experience is being reimagined as a big-budget gateway for executives to turn us into sock puppets. Progress!
To be fair, if C-suite inhabitants are going to Pinocchio us, we could do far, far worse than “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.” Featuring funny moments that dare to go beyond lazy one-liners and sporting genuinely exhilarating action set pieces, “Thieves” is as close as an adaptation can come to capturing the chaos and comedy of actually playing D&D. A staggeringly simple quest is made messy by meandering heroes who frequently make mistakes due to hubris and excitement. That sounds about right… Perhaps the best compliment possible: If this had arrived during my preteen years, I’d likely have a tattoo of it by now.
As all D&D adventures do, “Thieves” starts with character building. Edgin (Chris Pine) is a charmingly mischievous bard whose “gift” is coming up with strategies and plots that are slightly better than horrible alternatives. He’s been imprisoned with his pal, Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), a burly brute whose gruff menace is a front for her teddy bear heart. The pair escape in order to rescue Edgin’s daughter from a roguish conman named Forge (Hugh Grant), who is in league with an evil sorceress, Sofina (Daisy Head), who fronts a death cult.
Once free, Edgin and Holga team up with a shape-shifting elf named Doric (Sophia Lillis) and a semi-sorcerer named Simon (Justice Smith). The quest is textbook D&D: To rescue the girl, they need an item in a vault. To get into the vault, they need a magic helmet. To get the magic helmet, they need to talk to Xenk (Regé-Jean Page). It’s side-quests all the way down, even if you know it will all conclude with an epic fight against the main baddie. You can practically hear the dice rolling. Or taste them, if you were one of those weirdos who put 20-sided die in your mouth as a kid. The allure of D&D holds sway with all sorts, and there is no judgment here…
Like a game run by a dungeon master with generalized anxiety and ADHD, so most dungeon masters, “Thieves” is a bit narratively frantic to start. Intent on establishing the world and plot trappings, a lot of “telling” and flashbacking precedes the actual adventure. Once it gets rolling though, it is about as good as anyone had any reasonable right to hope it could be.
From the moment Xenk shows up, “Thieves” is hotter than a chubby dragon’s vomited flame. Writers/directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, along with writers Michael Gilio and Chris McKay, hit the sweet spot right between the eyes of serious and silly. They are sincere in their approach to the mythology and action and never break kayfabe when it comes to characters. No “winks and nods” to fourth walls or adaptations can be found among the copious easter eggs die-hard fans can hunt.
It isn’t that “Thieves” is rousingly original. It isn’t. Not even a little. It is formulaic, but not to a fault so much as to a purpose. This is a tightrope walk between servicing a legion of lore lovers and introducing what is unfairly seen as an intimidating world of imagination and adventure. It needed to be safe enough for newbs and thrilling enough for loyalists. It is all of that and more. D&D is fun. “Thieves” is fun. Both have limitless potential, and neither should be put off. Get thee to a theater and then get thee to a gaming table. Or vice versa, depending on how you roll.
Grade = A-
Other Critical Voices to Consider
Amy Nicholson at The New York Times says “Having sat in on my share of D&D campaigns, my personal idea of purgatory is five people debating whether to open a door. Luckily, the film moves faster.”
John Lui at the Straits Times (Singapore) says “Where this is similar to ‘Warcraft’ is that both are unironic, non-snarky adaptations. ‘Warcraft,’ however, clubs viewers over the head with lore. This story is far easier to follow even if one cannot tell a paladin from a Harper or a druid from a Red Wizard.”
Catalina Combs at Black Girl Nerds says “It speaks to the love of legends and folklore heroes like Robin Hood and the Three Musketeers. It’s wholesome and we haven’t had a good family flick like this in a while. I can’t say enough how fun and funny this film was.”

New Report on Juvenile Fees in Florida and the Pending Legislation that Could Address it
Each year the state of Florida arrests tens of thousands of youth under the age of 18. It transfers some of these youth to criminal court for serious offenses, but processes the majority in the juvenile system. And Florida disproportionately arrests youth from Black communities where a history of discrimination and over-policing deprives too of resources and opportunities while all too frequently locking members of these communities in poverty and prison.
In addition to physical and psychological harm, these systems saddle youth and their families with fees and resulting debts they cannot pay. From court administration fees to the costs of medical care, appointed counsel, and detention, as well as probation fees and surcharges, the crushing debt incurred from system involvement choke off opportunity and drive youth and their families deeper into poverty, while undermining public safety.
And for what?
Because children and families have no means to pay, loading them up with fee debt delivers very little benefit to the State and its 21.6 million citizens. The harm, however, can last a lifetime.
A new report co-authored by Juvenile Law Center and Fines and Fees Justice Center titled “Dreams Deferred: The Impact of Juvenile Fees on Florida’s Children, Families, and Future” sheds light on the 31 different fees imposed by the State and the impact these fees have on young people and their families.
In a key finding, the report demonstrates just how little the State actually collects, noting that, “in 2019, only 11% — or $547,973 — of the $5.1 million assessed against youth was collected,” and that “Florida counties that reported data from private collections also confirmed that they collected negligible amounts of juvenile fee debt in 2019.” The report also notes that the Clerks of Court who are responsible for collecting this debt have repeatedly acknowledged that young people cannot pay. It can be difficult to get data on how much money states are collecting from the fees they impose; the report provides a great new resource in the fight for #debtfreejustice.
The report also highlights an important opportunity for Florida. With the state legislature in session through March, The Debt Free Justice for Children Act has been introduced (Senate Bill 428 and House Bill 257) that would end the practice of imposing fees on youth and their families, wipe out existing fee debt, and extend these important fee protections to youth in the child welfare system up to age 21.
A growing list of red and blue states, including most recently Texas and Louisiana, have passed legislation eliminating juvenile fees. These reforms have gained widespread support from national stakeholder groups representing juvenile court judges, probation officers, and prosecutors who know firsthand that imposing fees on youth is counterproductive and unjust.
Here’s hoping the Florida legislature reads this report and joins the ranks of #debtfreejustice champions across the country.
