Double Entry Journal “ ‘… the evil assumption- that all Negroes lie , that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not trusted around our women, an assumption that one associates with minds of their calibre.’ ” (Lee 232). What I think Harper Lee creates Aunt Alexandra’s prejudice towards other social groups, and Maycomb’s prejudice towards African-Americans to illustrate the bias opinions of others, and the impact that they have on the town’s southern society throughout the 1930’s.
The novel To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee explores this idea of judging others before looking at the world from their perspective. Scout and Jem, although raised in a prejudice town, learn from their father Atticus that who a person is racially, does not define them as a person. Although the children make up stories about Arthur “Boo” Radley to pass the time in part one of the novel, in part two the Tom Robinson situation widens their eyes to the biased ways of their town. In the end, Jem and Scout are rescued by Boo Radley, the very person they feared during their childhood. Mockingbirds are used as a symbol in the novel to portray the fact that innocent and caring people are sometimes the most abused.
“Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it.” Harper Lee had used the tragic situation of Tom Robinsons trial to explore many themes including, racism and differences in privilege. “To kill a mockingbird” written by Harper Lee explores many situations linked to the broad idea of racism throughout the systems of Maycomb and differences in privilege in many different ways. The quote that Atticus argues with explains that in Maycomb, all men and things are equal.
As the book goes on and the characters change, ethical dilemmas about fear, and racism are seen. Additionally, what the book has to say about moral values and how things are done is mentioned in this essay. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee depicts the crude reality of Ethical Dilemmas in Maycomb, Alabama during the 1950s. One of the first Ethical Dilemmas presented in the book is what are the morals of the people in Maycomb. It is clear that Maycomb has differences in how people act, but that is different on what their moral values are.
To kill a mockingbird has the theme it is important to recognize all humans deserve respect regardless of their place society. Not all citizens of Maycomb weren't treated equally and with respect. For instance Arthur, “Boo” Radley was treated unequally and badly because no one knew about him so they began with rumors and pictured as an evil monster. Bob Ewell was born into racism and abuse and people judge him thinking he wants to do what he does but he was raised this way. And last but not least Tom Robinson was disrespected not because he did something but due to the color of his
The testimonies reveal how deep-rooted the racism within Maycomb runs, as it is present even in court rulings and how casually present it is. The court is taking place, and the order of prosecutor’s witnesses who are: Mr. Heck Tate, the sheriff; Mr. Bob Ewell, Mayella’s father; and Mayella Ewell, the one who is accusing Tom Robinson of raping her. When it’s Mr. Ewell’s turn to speak, he does so with many racial slurs and slang embedded in his accusations. When relaying what he saw to the jury, he points at Tom and yells “―I seen that black n*gger yonder ruttin’ on my Mayella!” Mr. Ewell, who, although, has never been a part of a court case or viewed one, doesn’t truly care, or notice, that so far into the formal case, not one person has used racial slang to talk about Tom, and uses the term n*gger quite casually.
In Maycomb, both white people and people of color hold animosity to each other. So the children in the town with both a white and black parent are treated differently because society can’t put them in a box “‘ They don 't belong anywhere. Colored folks won’t have 'em because they’re half white; white folks won’t have ‘em ‘cause they’re colored, so they’re in-betweens, don 't belong anywhere. ’”(Lee 161)
The Co-existence Of Good and Evil In Human Morality: To Kill A Mockingbird Analysis Essay Set in the rural southern town of Maycomb, Alabama, To Kill A Mockingbird is seen through the eyes of Scout Finch and her older brother Jem, Maycomb appears to be friendly and peaceful. However the children are exposed to the dangers and the truth of their community. As they mature and learn important lessons from others, they’re exposed to prejudice, inequality, racism, social class and injustice.
In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the entire town of Maycomb accepts and contributes to maintaining the racial status quo. The narrator, Scout, tries to make it seem as though Maycomb, Alabama is a better place than other southern states in the United States. Although, they tolerate racism just as much as any other southern state. Some characters are aware of this, like Atticus Finch and Dolphus Raymond and others are not. Dolphus Raymond even states “Things haven’t caught up to that one’s instinct yet.
In To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee teaches us about the town of Maycomb County during the late 1930s, where the characters live in isolation and victimization. Through the perspective of a young Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, readers will witness the prejudice that Maycomb produces during times where people face judgement through age, gender, skin colour, and class, their whole lives. Different types of prejudice are present throughout the story and each contribute to how events play out in the small town of Maycomb. Consequently, socially disabling the people who fall victim from living their life comfortably in peace. Boo Radley and his isolation from Maycomb County, the racial aspects of Tom Robinson, and the decision Atticus Finch makes as a lawyer, to defend a black man has all made them fall in the hands of Maycomb’s prejudice ways.
Argumentative Essay “Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win”. Atticus Finch decided to defend Tom Robinson when he was accused of raping a white woman. I would’ve done the same thing as Atticus because I believe that back then it wasn’t a very fair world. As soon as a white person blamed a black person Police or the Judge would automatically take the word or the white person.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses characterization, symbolism, and irony to express the cloud in judgment prejudice causes when examining the morals of others. Scout is able to understand more about the town folk in Maycomb County through studying her teacher’s ironic and corrupted views of life around her. Lee uses Miss Gates, Scout’s teacher, to allow Scout a chance to understand the complexity of the adult world. While teaching the class about the Holocaust, Gates expresses the injustice being done to the Jews. She teaches the children that the town does not “believe in persecuting anybody” (Lee 329) because of the U.S. democratic government.
How does Harper Lee vividly capture the effects of racism and social inequality on the citizens of Maycomb county in ‘To kill a mockingbird’? In the novel, ‘To kill a mockingbird’, Harper Lee conveys the theme of racism and social inequality by setting up the story in Maycomb, a small community in Alabama, the U.S back in 1930s. Lee presents some of the social issues of 1930s such as segregation and poverty in the novel. These issues are observed and examined through the innocent eyes of a young girl, Scout, the narrator.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a book written by Harper Lee about racism and justice during the Great Depression. In Maycomb County, most people still aren’t over the confederate days, but Atticus Finch, a very ethical lawyer, and his family have to undergo a case over a black man. The thematic statement found in this book is,”A person’s surroundings will affects their choices and disregard morals.” This tells how the people in this book disregard some base morals and make choices. In To Kill a MockingBird there are examples of people disregarding their morals in mob mentality and letting society influence them, but keeping to a strict line they wouldn’t cross like Atticus defending Tom.
The black and white communities of Maycomb hardly ever come across one another, and in the rare occasion of such occurrence, the black individual most likely will get punished. Maycomb County is filled with so called “laws” that punish the black individual with

The Associated Students of Cerritos College encourage the faculty and students to help donate to Japan.
The ASCC has piggy banks at the Student Activities Office to drop off money, or for other offices to check out a piggy bank from the ASCC office.
Director of Student Activities Holly Bogdanovich said that donations will be given to the American Red Cross.
“Right now, we’re looking at running this portion until the end of March,” she said, “We may extend that date.”
Bogdanovich said that other clubs are working on putting together a big charity drive for the school. No dates have been set yet.
“We also have the blood drive on campus in April,” she added.
Aljen Medallo, business and arts major and active member of the ASCC, said that he wants the students to be aware of what happened in Japan and would hope for the student body to help give to Japan.
“Another step would be to get the word out to other people and have them donate as well,” he said.
Money is not the only choice for individuals to donate.
Medallo added that students and faculty can give clothes, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other accessories.
“It’s just a sense of involvement for each and everyone,” he said.
Medallo had friends he knew who went through the earthquake in Japan and survived the earthquake.
“However, the unfortunate part was their families were lost. I feel sorry for them,” he said.
Many students thought that this is a good thing for Cerritos to participate in helping Japan.
Sports psychology major Ashley Pearson said, “Overall, I think it is a nice thing to do to reach out and even think of other people in Japan. A lot of people don’t think about other people or trying to donate.”
She added, “I would to do things like give blood.”
English major Joshua Craft said, “I think it displays that their (ASCC) priorities are in the right place. It displaces a maturity of action.”
Mary Dewar, an accounting major who plans on donating, said, “Who knows? One day we may need that aid and other countries might help us. It’s a good charity.
The ASCC has participated in Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti relief.

THE EVOLUTION OF VIRTUAL DATA ROOMS IN M&A
RC: Could you provide a brief overview of the function and operation of virtual data rooms (VDRs) in the M&A context?
Kelly: With the advent of the digital age via the internet we have seen most things that existed in physical or analogue form transformed into a digital or virtual format. The data room market has been no different and over the last 10 years or so we have seen physical data rooms (PDRs) move into VDRs. This has brought huge benefits to organising the M&A due diligence process for sellers and buyers alike. For the first time, all parties can access confidential documents locally on their computers in diverse locations without the cost of having to visit a PDR in some far-flung city to view documents. Against this backdrop, sellers have found that they have been able to reach out to far more parties on a global scale, increase transactional speed and reduce their costs at the same time.
RC: What are the key advantages of using VDRs on both the sell and buy side? In what ways has their use altered the deal execution process?
Kelly: The advent of the VDR has changed the market forever and has brought a multitude of benefits to analysing data more quickly and efficiently. The main advantages of VDRs are that they, by and large, accelerate the due diligence process by making the necessary due diligence information accessible via the internet. This reduces the cost of the due diligence process overall by eliminating the need to travel, copy multiple physical binders and rent several dedicated physical due diligence rooms. In addition, VDRs make it possible for multiple bidders to participate in the due diligence process simultaneously without inadvertently bumping into each other in a traditional physical data room. Furthermore, seller and buyer both benefit from the cost and time savings, improved legal compliance and security and ease and speed of set up. It is also worth pointing out that conventional physical data rooms also clearly hindered the process of reaching out to a global market, where the virtual data room has done the opposite, opening the sale up to more bidders and therefore potentially better sale prices.

I was a quarter finalist for two scripts last year, but never made it to the semi-finalists, so I am not counting on anything, but this was a nice little fist-bump from the universe. But I'm still really sad and it is strange to have this yin-yang (sadness/happiness) all occupying me at the same time.

Screenplay Prize! (sort of...)

The Nation of Chian is a Militarisitc Imperialist nation with an absolute monarchy. The nation was formed in 1860 at the end of the Second Opium war. Dissatisified with the current state of affiairs the provice of Che- Kiang revolted plugeing the provience into a civil war until the Phoenix family emerged victorius.
Establishing themselfs as the absolute rulers after only a few months of fighting. They renamed the nation Chian and the captial Empire city. As the Chinese civil war progressed Chian didn't join any faction but kept to their own territory. They did this by using imported weapons which the company, Firestorm armories, re-engineered and improved on the weapon desgins. This gave the Imperial Ground Forces, IGF, an advantage that the others couldn't compete with.
History 1860-1900 Edit
Chian's history between the years of 1860 and 1900 is nothing to be impressed with as this is the time when the nation began to find itself in the world.
History 1900-1920 Edit
After establishing itself as a nation, Chian a peaceful nation and only delt with the odd attacks from the other Chinese factions.
World war 1 1914-18 Edit
With the onset of World war 1, or as it was known as the 'European war' in Chian, the nation produced weapons for the Allies before joining them in 1916. Focusing on the eastern front during the war, the nation was intrested in the new style of warfare and new vehicles such as the tank. Unknown to the rest of the world, the Chianese military was planning of a massive expantion into neighboring factions.
The main equipment of the Chian military was concidered to be basic at best. Nither good, nor bad but their training was concidered to be supirior to the allies. Dueing the first few years of the war, each soldier was armed with a british lee enfield. But close to the end shipments of the USA's Browning automatic rifles were issued with the intent of outfitting the enitre army with the weapon.
However this came with dwarbacks as the weapon was heavy and the magazine was only 20 rounds. The rushed production of the weapon also had factors to play with this making the army woefully ill equipped near the end of the war.
History 1918-1930 Edit
After the ill equpping of the army one of the factions decided to attack Chian. This was a mixed bag as while the army was ill equipped they were stilled well trained and had the newly produced MkVIII C tank. Unlike others of it's type, this one had a top mounted turret offering it more offensive capabilities.


Idris Elba’s new lover: Idris Elba has a stunning new girlfriend – months after he broke up with the mother of his second child, just weeks after he swore he’d never get married again. Her name is Sabrina Dhowre, an actress and model who was crowned Miss Vancouver in 2014. The duo attended a glitzy premiere party on Sunday evening for his film, The Mountain Between Us.
Sabrina is 29 years old, 16 years younger than Idris who is 45 years old. The pair have reportedly been dating for seven months and were first spotted together in Manchester last month. This is actor Idris Elba’s first public relationship since he split with make-up artist Naiyana Garth, mother of his three-year-old son Winston.
The Jungle Book star left Miss Garth, a makeup artist, last year just days after he was pictured enjoying a night out with supermodel Naomi Campbell. The father-of-two has also been married twice before. He wed make-up artist Hanne Norgaard in 1999, with whom he has teenager daughter Isan, but the marriage broke down four years later when she did not adjust to life in the US.

The focus of this project is to understand the pathogenesis of hairy leukoplakia (HL) by characterizing Epstein Barr virus (EBV) gene expression in the lesion, examining the role of individual EBV gene products in modulating epithelial differentiation, and studying regulation of EBV gene expression in this lesion for comparison with that of lymphocytes. We have made significant progress toward achieving each of these aims. The hallmark of HL is high level EBV replication in differentiated epithelium. In the next fiev years,we therefore propose to extend these studies to include characterization of epithelial genes upregulated in HL, and to study the interaction between viral and cellular genes. To date, relatively little is known about the repertoire of EBV gene expression within HL, and almost nothing is known of epithelial gene expression in the lesion.
The aims of this proposal are to characterize EBV gene expression in HL; to characterize cellular genes upregulated in Hl, and to characterize the regulation of EBV gene products expressed in HL. In the next five years, using an HlcDNA library we generated, we will continue to expand our knowledge of the repertoire of EBV genes expressed in HL. Using a subtraction cDNA library generated from HL and clinically normal adjacent tissues, we will also characterize cellular genes upregulated in HL. The topography and specificity of expression of these genes will be studied in HL and control tissues by mRNA in situ hybridization. To study the regulation of EBV genes by cellular and viral transactivating proteins, we will induce protein expression by our HL cDNA library. Proteins expressed in the library will be probed with radiolabeled DNA corresponding to promoters of selected EBV genes known to be expressed in HL. Clones encoding the proteins will be isolated from the library, and specificity of the candidate cellular and/or viral DNA binding proteins will be studied using gel retardation assays. The proteins will then be expressed to study their effect on the promoter in luciferase reporter system. Studies of HL offer a unique opportunity to characterize EBV infection of epithelium. Infection of epithelium plays an important role in the EBV live cycle, and understanding the interaction between EBV and cellular genes in the pathogenesis of HL has broader implications for understanding of other EBV-associated lesions as well, including nsaopharyngeal cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

I am native Hispanic born and raised in South America. In high school, I took a jewelry-making class and enjoyed it very much. I began with the basics and, throughout the years, learned the wire wrapping technique.
In 1989, I moved to St. Louis where I met my future husband, Greg. We married in 1990 and later had two wonderful daughters, Talia and Josie. As my daughters got older, I had more time to get involved in designing and making jewelry for my personal use. I would get many compliments on my jewelry, so I decided to make jewelry for other people, selling my creations at arts and crafts shows. Throughout the years, I have met many people and am always pleased to have them return to shows and order more jewelry, either to complete their set or compliment their wardrob.


The latest crisis at the Piney Point phosphate plant in Tampa Bay is the most recent chapter of a decades-long failure to reign in one of Florida’s most destructive industries: phosphate mining and production. Multiple administrations have allowed the toxic gypsum stacks, or ponds, at the site to linger while requiring only minimum protections and tolerating an exceedingly slow cleanup timeframe. By all appearances, the Department of Environmental Protection decided not to require the site’s owners, past or present, to permanently retire these ponds. Instead, one administration after the next has allowed this ticking time-bomb of toxic waters to loom over treasures like Bishop’s Harbor, Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve, and Tampa Bay communities.
The destruction inflicted by the phosphate industry in Florida us so vast it can be seen from space. While scores of companies and phosphate executives have profited from this destruction, like those who originally built and operated Piney Point in the mid-1960’s, many are long gone, leaving communities to deal with the consequences. Massive discharges of toxic water from Piney Point have happened many times before. Several companies responsible for the site have gone bankrupt, leaving Floridians to bear the cost both in terms of cleaning up the site and the damage done to our nearshore waters. Unfortunately, this latest failure of this facility comes as no surprise. The Florida Legislature’s own Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability has warned lawmakers about the high costs of closing Piney Point since at least 2005.
It is important for legislative leaders to recognize Piney Point as a failure of oversight and accountability. This time let’s be sure to put the funding and plan in place to ensure a crisis like this never happens again, not only at Piney Point, but throughout Florida where abandoned toxic sites have been forgotten and ignored.

Atlanta Falcons left tackle Sam Baker is done for the year, as the team will officially place him on injured reserve Wednesday. Baker played in four games through the first 10 weeks of the 2013 season. He has been battling a knee injury, which most recently forced him to sit out of Atlanta's matchup with Seattle.
The Falcons also released linebacker Thomas Howard in order to activate Sean Weatherspoon. Howard signed last month with the team and was active for two games since Oct. 22.
Roster now stands at 52 with Baker going on IR and set to undergo surgery on his left knee. Smith said team will fill Baker's spot upcoming— vaughn mcclure (@vxmcclure23) November 12, 2013
'Spoon's return was imminent, as he is expected to participate in practice on Wednesday. He should start on Sunday after finally returning from a foot injury, which leaves a tough decision for Mike Smith to make in regards to the starting lineup at linebacker.
According to Pro Football Focus, Baker allowed one sack, seven hits and 12 hurries in 190 snaps this season. After landing a huge contract, he's regressed into his old, injured form once again.
The return of 'Spoon helps not only because of his talent, but with the leadership he brings to the huddle. He's one of the most vocal players you'll ever find. It will be interesting, though, to see how the Falcons handle Joplo Bartu and Paul Worrilow.
Injuries have plagued the Falcons season, so this shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone. How are you feeling about Baker taking an extended leave/Weatherspoon coming back?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (16:40): I rise in support of the member for Florey's motion. In 1893, 125 years ago, New Zealand's Governor, Lord Glasgow, signed a new electoral act into law. This led to New Zealand becoming the first self-governing country in the world to give women the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
It was eight years earlier, on 22 July 1885, that Dr Edward Stirling introduced a resolution into the South Australian parliament's House of Assembly. Cautiously, he moved in favour of women's suffrage for both houses of parliament, limited to property-owning widows and single women. I say the approach was cautious as the resolution excluded married women. Dr Stirling explained that he thought a restricted proposal would have a good chance of acceptance, as opposed to a more universal approach.
In his speech, Dr Stirling pointed out that women's influence should be open. He argued that women were a responsible sex and that some were unfairly saddled with taxation, yet had no say in the disposal of those moneys. He argued that some were employers who were unable to vote while often employing disenfranchised male labourers who could vote.
Significantly, Dr Stirling recognised the value that the opinion of women could contribute on topics such as education, especially of the young; the condition and treatment of the poor and sick; the discipline and management of prisons and reformatories; the regulation of hours of labour for women and children in factories and other places; the efficient maintenance of charitable institutions and the distribution of charities; and the laws relative to the protection of females.
In July 1888, at a public meeting held just up the road from here in Gawler Place, the Women's Suffrage League was formed. The league spearheaded the campaign for the women's right to vote in South Australia. Dr Stirling was the league's first president, but stood aside after four years, becoming the vice-president. This allowed for the appointment of Mary Colton as president at the May 1892 annual meeting and Mrs Mary Lee was elected as secretary. The electorates of Lee and Colton now carry their names on into this place.
Over time, the league successfully maintained public pressure on politicians on the question of suffrage. It arranged regular public meetings, drew public reporting, held public addresses, was involved in the sale of literature, used the press to publish favourable reports and used the correspondence pages to generate public debate. Women also filled the public gallery any time the question of women's suffrage was debated in parliament.
Arguably, one of the most influential tools used by the league was petitions. Upward of 20,000 signatures appeared on the earliest petitions. It is said that Mary Lee sent them out in all directions. In September 1891, Mary Lee wrote, 'I see that New Zealand is moving on bravely. We are racing each other! How grand it is.' Most of us watched the Melbourne Cup yesterday and may have experienced for a fleeting moment the competitive spirit that Mary Lee had. There is no question that these women were leading the way in South Australia and keeping a keen eye across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand and even further across the globe.
Regrettably, due to political and economic factors, no bill was presented in 1892. However, it was in 1892 that the Woman's Christian Temperance Union's offer to assist in collecting signatures for the league's petition was accepted. Persistently, the league continued to campaign on the single issue of women's suffrage and was ultimately supported by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in August 1889, when the union adopted women's suffrage as one of its main aims.
Between April and August 1894, the league made a large effort to circulate the new petition throughout the colony. Mary Lee boarded the train and travelled as far north as Quorn, talking to groups of people. There were 17 signatures from men from the remote town of Andamooka. At Orroroo, male signatories included their occupations: milk hand, carpenter, farmer, labourer, blacksmith, miller, bank manager, engine driver, and Baptist minister. There were also signatures from the South-East, as far as Mount Gambier.
The petition was signed by 11,600 people, about two-thirds of whom were women. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union claimed to have collected 8,000 of those signatures. End to end, the petition measures some 122-metres long.
The final suffrage measure was introduced in the Legislative Council on 4 July 1894 by chief secretary John Gordon, who had guided it through the debate and the committee stage. While recognising the right to vote, the bill excluded women from standing for parliament. At this time, Ebenezer Ward, an outspoken opponent of women's suffrage, successfully moved that the clause excluding women from standing in parliament be removed. While his goal was for the seemingly ridiculous amendment to result in the bill being voted down, his plan backfired. The amendment was accepted, giving the women of South Australia complete parliamentary equality with men.
Meanwhile, the petition was presented to the House of Assembly by the Hon. George Hawker on 30 August 1894. The legislation passed on 18 December 1894 and was signed by Queen Victoria on 21 March 1895. Significantly, Mary Lee did not stop her advocacy after women had won the right to vote. She was active in voter education, encouraging women to enrol to vote. By her 75th birthday, 60,000 women were registered on the electoral roll.
It is due to their tenacity and perseverance that South Australia has such a proud, political history. I am proud to be here as a woman, representing my constituents from the electorate of Adelaide. I am proud to be the second female state member for Adelaide and the first female Liberal state member for Adelaide.
With the election of the Marshall Liberal government, it is the first time the position of Deputy Premier has been held by a woman and the first time that the position of Attorney-General has also been held by a woman, both positions being held by the member for Bragg. In August this year, for the first time, there was an all-female meeting of the state's Executive Council at Government House, with the member for Bragg being the Acting Premier, and the Lieutenant Governor, Professor Brenda Wilson, being Acting Governor.
We can only imagine how proud Mary Colton and Mary Lee would have been had they known what their tireless efforts were to achieve in the future. The contribution of these women to South Australia was profound. We can be proud of their legacy and their significant contributions to the political landscape of South Australia, which have been suitably recognised since 1993, after the electoral redistribution and creation of the neighbouring seaside electorate districts of Colton and Lee. I thank the member for Florey for bringing this motion and I commend the motion to the house.

I'm kind of disappointed that Blizzard didn't really improve the looting system at all from previous ARPG games. I understand that they want the loot confetti appearance and that they think it's fun to manually click each piece of desired loot, but I don't find the current system fun at all.
1. Whenever I play a melee character, I accidentally pick up white and grey items that drop while I'm in combat. Could we get an option that disables looting in combat so that this doesn't happen?
2. Potions, gems, and pages are all white items. Could we get a new color for these items so that I don't have to scan the useless white items that drop everywhere?
3. I'm glad that gold pickup is passive, but could we also make it active? It seems as though actually clicking on gold makes me pick up the closest item instead. Thus, the only way to get the gold is to run around like a crazy person.
I'm actually fine with not automatically picking up magic items. Part of the fun is seeing what dropped. That's lost if it's automatically picked up.

Unvaccinated Lady Without Underlying Medical Conditions Passes Away On 2 Aug
Just days ago, Singapore reported its 38th Covid-19 death involving a 34-year-old Ukrainian seafarer who passed away on the same day he was admitted to a hospital.
On Wednesday (4 Aug), the Ministry of Health (MOH) shared that a 58-year-old lady had passed away from Covid-19 complications.
The Singaporean is our nation’s 39th Covid-19 fatality and was a household contact of a case who had visited Samy’s Curry Restaurant.
Unvaccinated lady passes away 4 days after testing positive
According to MOH’s evening report, the 58-year-old passed away from Covid-19 complications on Monday (2 Aug) despite having no underlying medical conditions.
The lady tested positive for the coronavirus 4 days before on 29 Jul.
She was a household contact of a case who had visited Samy’s Curry Restaurant. The cluster linked to the restaurant currently has 55 infections.
MOH also noted that the deceased had not received the Covid-19 vaccine.
12 new clusters on 4 Aug
On the same day, MOH reported 12 new clusters, all of which are linked to individual cases.
The new clusters comprise between 3-6 cases each.
While these clusters are emerging, other high-profile ones reported earlier saw slower growth.
The largest active cluster linked to Jurong Fishery Port reported 9 new cases. This is the first time the cluster saw single-digit daily growth since it surfaced on 16 Jul.
The KTV cluster, on the other hand, has 1 new case after 3 consecutive days without any new infections.
Meanwhile, the following clusters reported no new cases:
- Changi General Hospital
- Marina Bay Sands Casino
- Punggol Primary School
- Samy’s Curry Restaurant
- Yishun Community Hospital
- Zuellig Pharma
Get your Covid-19 vaccine jab while you can
MS News extends our condolences to the family of the deceased. We hope they find the strength to get through this difficult period.
For the rest of us, this perhaps serves as a reminder of the importance of getting vaccinated, to protect us from developing serious symptoms as a result of a Covid-19 infection.
Since vaccinations are now available on a walk-in basis, we hope those who have not gotten their jabs would do so ASAP to protect themselves and their loved ones.

August 05, 2014
SASKATOON, August 5, 2014 – Factoria Films is pleased to announce that it has entered into a licensing agreement for Canadian distribution of its award winning feature film The Shape of Rex with Toronto distributor Films We Like.
Films We Like is a boutique distributor of documentary, independent and international films in Canada and has released over 260 films since it was founded in 2002 by award winning Canadian filmmaker and producer Ron Mann, renowned for his genre-bending approach to documentary cinema that explores art forms and contemporary popular culture with vision and verve. Mann’s brand new documentary Altman, an in-depth look at the life and times of film director Robert Altman, has been selected for presentation in the Venice Classics section of the 71st Venice International Film Festival, which runs August 27 – September 7, 2014. Mann, along with Robert Altman’s widow, Kathryn Reed Altman, will be in Venice for the screening of the film. Mann also will be on the Venice Festival jury for Best Debut Film.
The Shape of Rex is Factoria’s first feature. In July the film screened at the Madrid International Film Festival where it was nominated in three categories: Best Feature, Best Actress (Vivien Endicott-Douglas) and Best Music. In May it earned multiple nominations in France at the St. Tropez International Film Festival, including ones for Best Film, Best Lead Actress (again for Endicott-Douglas), and Best New Directors for first-time co-directors Layne Coleman and Bill Hominuke, who also co-wrote and co-produced..
The Shape of Rex has screened at numerous festivals across North America, winning the Award of Excellence at the Canadian International Film Festival in Vancouver, and the Award of Merit at both the Indie Fest in La Jolla, California and the Route 66 Film Festival in Springfield, Ill. It also was nominated as Best Feature film at both the Kansas International Film Festival in Kansas City, Kansas, and the Green Bay International Film Festival in Wisconsin. Last fall it was in competition for the Discovery Award as Best First Narrative Feature at the Calgary International Film Festival.
With a narrative that toggles between the 1980s and the present day, the film is rooted in a reckless romance between 16-year-old Rose (Endicott-Douglas) and Rex (Brett Donahue), a hot-blooded older boy who has a summer job as a disc jockey. They meet again years later, both comfortably married with children. Rex (Ryan Hollyman) is now a lawyer, Rose (Monica Dottor) a stained glass artist. In the name of “unfinished business,” they cautiously embark on an affair that cannot possibly end well, one that never escapes the chilly shadow of a horrific secret that they share. As their respective spouses (Lorne Cardinal and Aviva Armour-Ostroff) confirm their suspicions—he with measured rage, she with withering contempt—two marriages are put to the ultimate test.

In this study, multicomponent alloy fillers were deposited on low-carbon steel substrates using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. The microstructure and wear properties of Al-Co-Cr-Ni-Mo-Fe-Si multicomponent alloys were studied. The GTAW cladding layers were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the microstructure mainly consisted of dendritic FeMoSi and interdendritic BCC phases and that the addition of Si coarsened the primary FeMoSi phase. In addition, different precipitate morphologies were found in the interdendrites. As the Si content increased from 5.92 to 14.53 at%, the microhardness also increased from 826 to 885 Hv and the wear resistance improved significantly. The FeMoSi dendrites possessed covalent-dominant strong atomic bonds that enhanced the hardness and wear resistance of claddings.


Warning: Billie Eilish‘s career may cause whiplash.
Seriously, at 16 years old, the future megastar is absolutely everywhere and on an unbelievable rise only achieved by a handful of notable pop predecessors. She’s also been on tour literally all year putting in WORK and the high-energy performances to loyal, screaming fans are deservedly paying off. Since the August 2017 release of her critically-acclaimed debut EP, don’t smile at me, Eilish has quickly sprung from rising artist to one of the world’s undisputed pop front-runners, now confidently boasting over 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Thankfully, the young vocalist has recently served up some must-hear, moody pop tracks to appease eager fans — perhaps indicating one of the highest-anticipated debut albums of the decade is on the way.
In April, after wrapping her completely sold-out Where’s My Mind Tour, Eilish dropped the track “lovely” alongside R&B artist Khalid. The single found immediate success and has accumulated nearly 280 million streams on Spotify and 150+ million views on YouTube. The single is also now Billie’s most-streamed track to date… though that is subject and very likely to change. And while that may have been enough for most, we’ve only scratched the surface with this young prodigy.
In May, Eilish announced she would be co-hosting her own show called Groupies Have Feelings Too on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio, of course, before filling her summer with festival performances around North America… including one I caught at Bonnaroo, and others at Lollapalooza, Music Midtown, Osheaga, and Outside Lands. Billie also announced her forthcoming 1 on 1 Tour would run through November, surprise-released her smash single, “you should see me in a crown,” and joined Florence + the Machine for a few dates on the High As Hope Tour before closing out her week with a divine performance at All Things Go Fall Classic in early October.
Weeks after seeing swarms of people at Fall Classic very clearly in attendance to see Billie Eilish, the 1 on 1 Tour arrived for two sold-out shows at DC’s 9:30 Club. We knew the show was going to be an absolute madhouse, and sure enough, we entered a sea of fans completely neon-ed out in head to toe tour merch and all buzzing with excitement. You can’t blame anyone, though. Billie’s shows are wild and carefree — within the first few minutes, she’s literally running across the stage, jumping on the speaker systems, reaching out for screaming fans’ equally over-extended arms, and delivering a near-perfect vocal performance. It’s hypnotizing, powerful, and undoubtedly confirms why a Billie Eilish concert ticket was one of the hottest items of the year and will be the must-have concert ticket for 2019. Especially once her debut album drops.
Billie Eilish will re-join Florence + the Machine‘s Australian tour leg in January before running through the European leg of her sold-out headlining tour. At the very least, everyone can rest assured Billie will be ready to return to the arenas she’s playing alongside Florence Welch, except next time as the headliner she deserves to be. Keep your eyes on Billie Eilish’s 2019 tickets here and see our photos from the 1 on 1 Tour stop at 9:30 Club.

For readers of Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone and David Vann’s Legend of a Suicide, C. B. Bernard’s debut novel shows a father and a daughter fighting toward hope through a traumatic past.
In the town of Disappointment, Oregon, washed-up boxer Lewis Yaw makes ends meet as a fishing guide. He’s lived a life of violence, but doesn’t understand real strength until he meets Janey, who can see good in even the most damaged things—including him. When she gives birth to their daughter, Grayling, Lewis worries that he’ll mess her up as badly as his father did him. But he also sees a chance to right the wrongs of the past.
By high school, Gray has become his apprentice guide, his sparring partner, and his pride and joy. Life in their small town is nothing short of challenging—there’s a marauding bear roaming the streets, a rival guide trying to kill Lewis, and a poacher littering deer carcasses along the river—but he is closer to happiness than he ever thought possible. When tragedy strikes, Lewis can’t break free of his past, leaving Gray to fight to save the only thing she has left: her family.


Responders Consider Pipeline Explosion Response
Laramie, Wy – Some Laramie County officials say poor
communications hampered their response to a pipeline fire that killed a bulldozer operator on Saturday southwest of Cheyenne.
Sheriff Danny Glick says the situation was tough because different organizations were trying to get information about what was happening, and because there was a lot of emotion on the scene.
Bulldozer operator Bobby Ray Owens, Junior of Louisiana died when his machine hit a natural gas pipeline. The ensuing fire sent flames hundreds of feet into the air and it took crews nearly an hour to extinguish the fire.
Dennis West is chief of Laramie County Fire District One. He says some crews were delayed in getting directions to the scene because cells phones didn't work and radio traffic was jammed.
West says fire crews have met to discuss their response to the fire.


The Balochistan Assembly passed a resolution on Saturday, calling on the federal government to ensure uninterrupted supply of natural gas to Quetta and extending the facility to other townships of the province as per its promise.
The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) provides gas to only 14 urban townships in 30 districts of Balochistan, while rural areas are deprived of this facility.
There were 14 lawmakers in attendance when this resolution was passed. The proceeding was adjourned for 30 minutes due to a lack of quorum.
PML-Q legislator Jaffar Mandokhel tabled an adjournment motion that was approved for a two-hour debate during Saturday’s proceedings. “It’s ironic that most districts of the province are denied natural gas despite the fact that Balochistan supplies gas to the entire country,” said Mandokhel.
“Natural gas is available in Quetta, Kalat, Mastung, Pishin and some other townships but the remaining province is denied this basic necessity. There is often low gas pressure in Quetta and other areas even during extreme weather,” he lamented.
“This is the second resolution on this issue and we hope that it will be taken seriously, since so far no attention has been paid by the concerned authorities or the federal government,” he told the house.
He also urged the federal government to ensure protection of gas pipelines that are being attacked by Baloch insurgents regularly. “I request the groups that are targeting the pipelines to stop because the attacks are increasing miseries of their own people,” he said.
Provincial Minister for Sports and Culture Shahnawaz Marri also criticised the federal government which had announced a massive package for his province.
“We still don’t know what Aghaz-e-Haqooq-e-Balochistan is meant for since the people of this province are denied the basic facilities of life. Under such circumstances people will obliviously take to hills to struggle for their rights,” he said, outlining that peace was only possible if the government addressed the basic issues.
“There will be peace and harmony only if the federal government addresses the grievances and removes the sense of deprivation among the people of this region,” he said.
Provincial Minister for Finance Mir Asim Kurd also spoke out against the ‘discriminatory attitude’ of federal government and bureaucracy.

Records Trump Tried To Hide Reveal Call To Jim Jordan Before Capitol Attack
Records that former President Donald Trump attempted to hide from public scrutiny have now revealed that he spoke on the phone with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Jan. 6, 2021.
The phone call between Trump and Jordan occurred hours before Trump joined other Republicans in an attempt to deny certifying President Joe Biden's election win. The call also occurred before the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a pro-Trump mob attempting to prevent Biden from officially winning the race.
CNN reported on Friday that Congress's Jan. 6 committee investigating the attack received Trump's phone records that documented the call.
The Jan 6. committee requested that Trump's records stored at the National Archives be turned over as part of the investigation into the attack. In December, Trump had asked the Supreme Court to block the release of his records, claiming that their disclosure was a violation of executive privilege.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled against Trump later in the month. Noting that President Joe Biden had decided against invoking executive privilege with regard to Trump's records, Judge Patricia A. Millett noted in the decision, "Former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden’s judgment."
Jordan has been evasive on whether he spoke to Trump or not on Jan. 6. After telling a Fox News interviewer in July that he had spoken to Trump, Jordan later told another reporter he wasn't sure he had done so, then told another reporter he couldn't remember if he had spoken to Trump.
During a House hearing in October, Jordan would still not confirm the exact time of his Trump call. Since then, Jordan has refused a request to be interviewed by the Jan. 6 committee.
A spokesperson for the committee said Jordan's admission that he spoke to Trump on Jan. 6 made him a "material witness."
After his phone call with Trump, Jordan made a speech on the floor of the House arguing against congressional certification of the election results. In his speech, Jordan invoked debunked conspiracies about the integrity of the election, echoing other comments he had been making at the time.
The false arguments offered by Jordan, Trump, and many other Republicans were later echoed by the mob that attacked the Capitol. Several called for hanging then-Vice President Mike Pence, who had refused to entertain Trump's demand that he not certify the election.
More than 768 people have been charged with federal crimes in connection to the Capitol attack.
Ultimately, 147 Republican members of Congress voted against certification, which would have invalidated the votes of millions of voters including the more than 81 million in the majority who voted for Biden.
The effort was unsuccessful, and Biden's election win was certified.

ITALIAN RICE CULTIVARS
CARNAROLI RICE & Co.: DISCOVERING EVERY RICE TYPE
In Italy rice is rarely seen as a side dish; it is an actual ingredient used in both traditional and more innovative dishes. Timbales, risotto, supplì stuffed rice balls, rice meatballs, rice salads…The Italian regional culinary tradition features plenty of recipes with rice. Nowadays we can find many rice cultivars on the market and luckily, the general public is getting to know many rice companies. Let’s plunge into the world of Italian rice.
How is Italian rice classified?
The classification of rice types in Italy has drastically changed in 2017; up until that year, the 1958 classification was adopted (rice was previously classified into common, semifine, fine and superfine rice). Today rice is differentiated based on grain size, each with specific cooking qualities corresponding to different water uptake times.
Originario round-rice grain: it is an Italian rice whose grains shall be not less than 5.2mm long with a length to width ratio below 2mm. Therefore, this rice features round and small grains which absorb liquids and cook quickly. Round grain varieties are ideal for cakes and soups.
Medium-rice grain: these rice grains shall be between 5.2mm and maximum 6mm long with a length to width ratio below 3mm. It is the perfect cultivar to make Arancini and timbales, because it can be cooked twice, while still keeping its structure.
Long-grain rice type A: these rice grains shall be over 6mm long with a length to width ratio between 2 and 3 mm. This rice is mainly employed to prepare risottos, since its grains hold perfectly well during the quite long cooking process and the amount of starch enables it to be stirred in a pan.
Long-grain rice type B: these rice grains shall be over 6mm long with a length to width ratio greater than 3mm. Because of its shape, this rice is very similar to Asian rice cultivars and is mainly employed for salads and side dishes.
Some data on Italian rice
- Italian rice production accounts for 52% of European rice production
- 60% of Italian rice grown in Italy is exported everywhere in the world
- The top rice producing regions are: Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Sardinia, as well as two small areas in Tuscany and Calabria
- Italian paddy fields are spread over 200,000 hectares
- Italy imports only Basmati rice and those rice cultivars which are going to be parboiled
- Italy is located on the threshold area beyond which rice cannot be cultivated, i.e. the 45th parallel
Which variety should I choose?
It all depends on which dish you want to make. Each recipe requires a different type of rice, but choosing the right one is not always easy, given also the fact that 200 rice varieties exist in Italy, as registered by the National Rice Body. Only the following ones are considered ‘traditional varieties’:
- Carnaroli rice
- Arborio rice
- Roma-Baldo rice
- Ribe rice
- Vialone Nano rice
- Sant’Andrea rice
Perhaps not everyone knows that rice is marketed with the name of the reference traditional rice variety, as listed above. Traditional rice varieties are like families encompassing several variety groups. Karnak, Keope or Poseidone rice varieties, which actually exist, are marketed as Carnaroli. Only the Carnaroli rice bearing the name ‘Classico’ only includes pure Carnaroli rice cultivar.
How important are grain characteristics? Very important. Water uptake time depends on the grain size, while the grain texture after cooking depends on the amount of starch - amylose - contained in rice. In order to choose the right rice cultivar, you need to take into account the grain structure, texture and coarseness.
We have chosen an exceptional Carnaroli rice: Acquerello rice which has been cultivated by the Rondolino family for almost a century in the paddy fields in their Colombara estate in Vercelli. This rice variety belongs to the long-grain rice type A, so the rice grain is tapered with a pearly finish. It belongs to the Italian agricultural and culinary tradition and is ideal for risotto, given its high amount of amylose (rice starch). It requires a long cooking process - 18 minutes in the case of risotto - and the grain holds its structure well without getting sticky.
However, it is such a shame to only use it for risottos, since Carnaroli rice is also ideal for gourmet rice salads or many regional dishes.
Arborio rice also belongs to the long-grain rice type A, whose grains have a slightly square and semi-round shape. It does not contain as much amylose as the Carnaroli rice, but it is still employed to prepare delicious risottos. We like to use it to make incredible timbales and stuffed vegetables.
Arborio rice can absorb as much as five times its weight in liquids, and its big grains guarantee excellent cooking properties - surely its greatest quality. Use it to make Arancini!
The traditional Baldo rice variety is also a long-grain rice type A and is part of the PGI rice varieties of the Po river delta. It is very similar to Roma variety - also long-grain rice type A; that’s why it is called Roma-Baldo rice.
Baldo rice features a translucent grain and is a ‘young’ variety, first marketed in 1977. Now it is coveted by great chefs to prepare salads and traditional risottos from Piedmont.
Roma rice has a semi-tapered shape, but the grain has a pearly finish and quicker cooking times. It is a historic rice cultivar with an excellent uptake of condiments. Ideal for flans and timbales.
Vialone Nano rice
Vialone Nano rice features a rounder and pearlier grain; that’s why it is classified as common rice grain. Vialone Nano is cultivated in the region Veneto and the Vialone Nano Veronese has obtained the PGI denomination.
These rice grains have a pearly finish, are rather squat and perfectly absorb condiments. It is an historic Italian rice cultivar with excellent cooking properties, and it’s used in many Venetian traditional recipes.
My grandmother used to say that this is the perfect rice to make Tuscan rice pudding. I don’t know whether there is scientific evidence backing this statement, but I can say that it really does taste amazing. Sant’Andrea is a long-grain rice type A with pearly and tapered grains. It is a Piedmont rice cultivar, to which PDO Baraggia Biellese and Vercellese cultivars belong.
The recipe of Panissa Vercellese is deeply tied to the Sant’Andrea rice. Perhaps because the name of this rice is an homage to the Vercelli cathedral and it is a traditional dish of this plain; all we know is that the flavour combination with sausages and beans is just out of this world!

The PURELL® brand has partnered with Public Health Innovations to launch an innovative tool to help prevent the spread of norovirus in restaurants.
The NOROVIRUS HOT SPOT™ Program is an operating procedure, training tool, and job aid all in one. It will educate restaurant employees on germ transmission “hot spots”—surfaces like restroom door handles, faucet handles, and stall latches—where employees can unknowingly contract the virus and then further contaminate kitchen surfaces and foods simply through touch.
"It’s essential that restaurants have a food safety plan in place that reduces the risk of transmission and cross-contamination from pathogens, such as norovirus,” says Hal King, Ph.D., president, Public Health Innovations and partner, Active Food Safety.
“Norovirus is highly contagious and tough to kill. That is a challenging combination to overcome. If an employee works while they are symptomatic—or even asymptomatic—it’s nearly impossible to prevent a norovirus outbreak.”
“The NOROVIRUS HOT SPOT™ Program was developed to guide restaurant employees to the hot spots that should be regularly cleaned and sanitized using a surface sanitizer with fast germ-killing power, like PURELL® Foodservice Surface Sanitizer, which kills norovirus in 30 seconds and hepatitis A in 60 seconds,” King said.
The program also provides recommendations for what to do at times of an escalated risk—such as if a customer gets sick in the restaurant, or an employee works while ill.

Insurer and asset manager MMI, and unsecured lender African Bank, have entered into a partnership for the distribution of products and services. Both companies will create an expanded distribution network for product access.
The partnership is based on three business lines, including lending and insurance business ventures. The third venture will involve the provision of transactional banking capabilities by African Bank to MMI.
The lending venture will enable MMI to offer needs-based credit to its customer base and African Bank to provide MMI insurance products to its customers.
The partnership between African Bank and MMI is an extension of an existing relationship with MMI’s wholly owned subsidiary, Guardrisk. Guardrisk currently underwrites the African Bank’s credit life insurance, insuring African Bank’s risk exposures through a cell-captive structure.

By Richard Thomas, Ibadan
Residents of Alafara area along Adetokun-Ologuneru area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, have started fleeing their homes for the fear of being attacked by Fulani herdsmen.
The reprisal attack is coming on the heels of 45 cows allegedly killed by residents of Alafara on Friday.
WESTERN POST gathered that the Fulani herders had threatened to come back midnight to attack the residents of the area, a development that led them to flee for their lives.
Also, our correspondent gathered that many homes in the area have been deserted for the fear of being killed by the Fulani herders.
A resident of the Alafara area who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the development, adding that efforts were on to curtail the issue.
When contacted on the issue, the Speaker of the state Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, said necessary actions would be taken on the development.

Apologies for the diversion - does anyone know if there are USB flash
drives that _are_ built for full-time use, as a system disk?
I've got some old thin clients that could do with storage upgrades that
are a bit easier to come by than the weird (PATA?) flash modules they
come with. Obviously I could just hook up an external USB ssd, but I'd
like to keep the small form factor if I can - then they can go inside
Interesting, thanks - it appears that I could replace the existing
module after all - and possibly add a SATA one, depending on which way
round they are. I'm not entirely sure about the power situation though -
there seem to be multiple ways of getting power through the data port;
are they all backwards compatible? Does my system need to support it
explicitly, or will any old sata port work?
I see there are USB DOMs as well, but most/many of them want an internal
header rather than a type A socket, which is all I have. And some of
them say they're USB 3, backward compatible with USB 2 ... I'm not sure
which of my ports are what standard; some of them may even be 1 ...
Almost none of these seem to be available locally in New Zealand though,
so I'd have to import something, which is a bit more of a hassle.
There are many disk-on-module form (DOM) factors -- some are generic/
standard form factors and others are vendor/ model specific. If your
thin clients already have PATA DOM's, look up the make/ model and
purchase compatible replacement/ upgrade parts.
I have never seen a USB 1 port. Most pre-USB 2.0 stuff is USB 1.1.
Fair call - I should have said 1.x or something. :-)
I ran SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 16 GB flash drives as poor-man's SSD
system drives for several years, connected to motherboard type A USB
3.0, 2.0, and 1.1 ports. I booted the Debian Installer on CD and
installed to the USB drive just like any other drive. Reads were
noticeably faster than HDD's, but moderate to heavy writes caused GUI
desktops to become choppy. I still keep two for diagnostic and rescue
use -- one with Debian i386 and the other with Debian amd64. I bought
them from Amazon, but some retailers might carry them.
Ordinary usb flash drives are easy enough to get, and cheap. I should
probably just try those (planning on 2 in raid). I'm not using them for
anything GUI; the one I have running atm is an openvpn endpoint. There
are many Sandisk and other options - I guess my main consideration is
something slim enough that I can fit two in adjacent ports.
The SanDisk Ultra Fits are very compact. Two will fit in the stacked
dual USB port connectors found on my Intel motherboards, or in the
side-by-side ports on my Dell laptop. They stick out only about 1/4".
If anything, it can be hard to grab when connected to a motherboard with
several other things connected.
I also thought about two USB flash drives and RAID:
1. Instead of RAID0, get a PATA or SATA SSD (or DOM). Used drives can
be found on eBay for cheap, especially SATA I or II.
2. Instead of RAID1, use a checksumming file system (btrfs), take
images periodically, put key configuration files into a version control
system, and backup data daily. This is what I do for all my system drives.
That said, why do you have storage in a thin client? I thought the idea
is to boot the clients over the network, run from RAM, and have the
server do most of the work (?).

What do you do if you find yourself loving a TV show that promotes values you don’t support?
Such is the case for me with TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress. The gist of the show is women come to Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City with a variety of friends and relatives (their “entourage”) to try on and pick out their wedding gowns.
Things I love about the show:
- The beautiful gowns.
- Randy, the fashion director, and how he compliments all the women, no matter their shape or size.
- The relationships between family members. I get choked up when a father gets tears in his eyes upon seeing his daughter in full bridal regalia (or “jacked-up” as they say on the show).
I also understand, however, that weddings often uphold unhealthy cultural ideals that include and go beyond the perfectly thin and conventionally beautiful bride.
Traditional weddings are a symbolic handing over of the woman from the keeping of one man to another, as though she were property to be exchanged. The media and wedding industry also create and support the idea that having a wedding (not being married, mind you) is the single most important thing a woman can do.
And about Say Yes to the Dress — I know that:
- Wedding dresses are ridiculously, insanely, stupidly expensive. They also reinforce traditional beauty standards (samples are traditionally a size 6) and can cause women to focus on their “problem areas” as they try the dress on in front of friends and family (and the TV audience).
- Randy’s job is to sell wedding dresses. It’s in his best interest to make the bride feel beautiful so that she will buy a dress.
- The women are often depicted as relying on their entourages to help them make decisions. It’s not uncommon for a woman to like a dress in the dressing room, but decide she doesn’t like it if her entourage expresses disapproval. The result is that the women can come across as indecisive, immature, and utterly dependent on others to tell them what they think.
And yet, I watch the show every chance I get.
How is it that I can be so addicted to a show that creates and supports ideas I’m directly opposed to?
For me, it comes down to making informed choices. Being media literate is knowing how to determine the assumptions and values media uphold about women, beauty, sexuality, and any other number of issues.
Once we’re able to see through the media’s implied values, we have a choice to make. We can acknowledge that the core message of a show is in conflict with our values and decide to reject the show’s message while enjoying the show (or movie or ad campaign or whatever) for other reasons.
Or we can decide that the conflict is too great and not watch the show and even let the makers of the show know why.
Or perhaps the show is not in conflict with our values at all — not all media rely on negative images of women and can actually promote images of strong, independent women.
Knowing that you have a choice is the important thing. You do not have to blindly accept what you’re being told by the media — nor do you have to fully reject it. Becoming media literate makes you powerful by giving you the autonomy to decide and advocate for yourself.
And that’s something I can definitely say yes to.
Tara is a writer and educator who has a long-standing interest in sociology and women’s issues. She is particularly interested in the way the wedding industry defines and reinforces a single, narrow definition of womanhood.
