Butler softball clinched its seventh straight Jayhawk West championship on Monday with a pair of run-rule victories over Seward County at East Park.
The top-ranked Grizzlies (42-0 overall, 18-0 conference) defeated Seward County 10-2 to win Game 1, then cruised to a 10-1 victory over the Saints 10-1 in the second game. Both contests went five innings.
The Jayhawk West championship is the Grizzlies' 13th overall in program history. Butler has won 10 conference titles in the last 12 seasons under head coach Doug Chance.
With the two wins, Butler extended its overall winning streak to 80 straight games. The Grizzlies added on to their school-record winning streaks in conference (41), overall home (40), and regular-season home conference (33).
Butler also set a school record for most home runs in a single season (90), breaking an 11-year mark set back in 2007. The Grizzlies came into the doubleheader just three homers back from tying the record. Darrianne Hale's two-run home run in the fourth inning of the second game broke the team mark.
With the two run-rule wins against Seward County, Butler now has 23 run-rule victories on the season and 19 in the last 21 games. The school record for most wins by run-rule is 25, set during last year's national title run. Butler, who leads the nation with 11.1 runs per game, has scored at least eight runs in the last 21 games. Out of the Grizzlies' 18 conference wins this season, 16 have been run-rule victories.
Butler will be on the road Wednesday for a doubleheader at Garden City beginning at 2:00 p.m. The Grizzlies will also play two games at Seward County on Friday, then return home to host Barton for the regular-season home finale on Saturday.
Game 1 - Butler 10, Seward County 2 (5 innings)
Seward County took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a Jordan Garrison solo home run off Butler starter Regan Mergele. The Saints' lead marked just the second time that the Grizzlies trailed in a conference contest.
The Saints added another run in the third when Leena Mortensen singled up the middle to score Garrison.
Butler got on the board in the bottom of the inning with four runs in the bottom of the inning, beginning with a leadoff solo home run from Ki'Audra Hayter. After Kenzie Young and Becca Schulte both singled, Brynn Minor doubled off the wall in left to drive in both runners. Darrianne Hale followed with an RBI single through the left side to score Minor.
In the fourth, Young hit an RBI single to score Paige Pacher. Two batters later, Hayter scored from third base when Minor reached first on a fielding error to put Butler up 6-2.
Butler ended the contest with four runs in the fifth inning. Hayter smacked a two-run triple to left-center to plate both Caylie Kifer and pinch runner Beanie Luttig. Young then doubled to center to score Hayter. After a wild pitch moved Young to third, Schulte singled over Seward third baseman Kristyna Garcia to score Young for the run-rule win.
Hayter led the Grizzlies' offense by going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI, while Young was 3-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Minor was 1-for-2 with three runs driven in.
Mergele ran her record to 20-0 on the season. The sophomore righthander gave up two earned runs on four hits, walked two and struck out five in the win. Minor finished the game with a shutout inning, allowing just one baserunner on an error.
Game 2 - Butler 10, Seward County 1 (5 innings)
Butler jumped out in front 3-0 after the first inning. Brynn Minor extended her hitting streak to 26 games with an RBI double to drive in the game's first run, scoring Kenzie Young. Darrianne Hale then slugged her 13th home run of the season - a two-run blast to center field.
Young's solo home run to left in the third inning was the Grizzlies' 89th home run of the season, tying the school record for most homers in a single season.
Seward broke the shutout win in the top of the fourth inning when Kristyna Garcia hit a solo homer off the top of the center field wall and over the fence.
Up 4-1, Butler would put together a six-run inning in the bottom-half of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, Young hit a sacrifice fly to score Celina Sullivan from third base. Becca Schulte hit a two-run single to left to drive in Paige Pacher and Ki'Audra Hayter.
Minor hit her second double of the contest to score Schulte, then Hale hit a towering two-run shot to left to set the Grizzlies' single-season team home run record.
Hale was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and four RBI, while Young went 2-for-2 with two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base. Minor hit 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored and two RBI.
Celina Sullivan (7-0) was credited with the win, going four innings and giving up one earned run on four hits and striking out five. Minor closed the contest with a perfect inning.
NOTES: With a 3-for-5 performance in the doubleheader, Minor improved her batting average to .492 on the season. During her current 26-game hitting streak, Minor is hitting .597 (46-of-77) with 17 home runs, 54 runs batted in, 42 runs scored and 12 doubles... With two earned runs allowed in Game 1, Mergele had her earned-run average bumped to 0.55, placing her second among NJCAA Division I pitchers behind Morgan Goree (0.53) of Chipola, Fla... Butler leads all NJCAA Division I teams in batting average (.421), on-base percentage (.495) and slugging percentage (.750). With 90 home runs, the Grizzlies are two behind Angelina, Texas (92) and one back of Grayson, Texas (91) for the NJCAA lead. Butler also ranks third in runs batted in (438) and runs scored (469). The Grizzlies continue to lead the nation in runs scored per game (11.1).

BEIJING: China plans to move the World Trade Organisation challenging India's decision to ban Chinese toy imports. It feels that the ban amounts to
violating WTO laws, which is something the world body must investigate. This is apparently a desperate move on the part of Chinese rulers engaged in saving the toy industry, which has already retrenched thousands of workers because of loss in export market. More than 1,000 toy manufacturers have closed down in recent months. New Delhi announced a six-month ban on imports of toys from China on January 23. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade from India, which imposed the ban, did not cite any reasons to support it. But Indian industry sources claimed it was meant to protect local manufacturers from cheap Chinese imports. Chinese toys make up nearly half of the total toys retained in India, sources claimed. The Indian decision came after the United States imposed anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on four categories of Chinese imports. Beijing took on the US at the WTO over these decisions last December. The European Union has now slapped an 85 percent punitive duty on imports of screws from China, which will affect nearly 200 local manufacturers. China observers see these decisions as an attempt to leverage WTO rules to protect local manufacturers from trade barriers and punitive measures being put up by different countries. Critics have also dubbed it as a protectionist move by Chinese leaders, who have been advising western nations to avoid protectionism in order to tackle the world economic crisis. Beijing did not resort to moving the WTO during the boom years when its exports grew at a pace exceeding 25 per cent a year. It is only when it has been hit by a sharp fall in exports that the Chinese government has decided to use the world body to protect local businesses. Some estimates show that nearly 70 per cent of the toys marketed worldwide are made in China, mostly in Guangdong province in the south of the country.

Control is a stylish, cerebral, and just plain fun third-person shooter in which you gain telekinetic powers. If you like good games, it’s easy enough to recommend it at its full cost, but I don’t have to do that today since it’s just $25 at GameStop. This deal is for today only, and it applies to both the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game; the PC version is an Epic Game Store exclusive.
This price matches a deal we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so now is your chance to get the game if you missed out before. GameStop’s deal is available in its stores around the country as well as online.
My colleague Andrew Webster reviewed Control earlier this year, calling it “an excellent supernatural thriller with hints of Metroid”. Here’s another bit that sums it up nicely:
It’s what would happen if you mixed the X-Files with a Jeff VanderMeer novel and then structured the whole thing as an open-world video game like Breath of the Wild.

PROJECT TITLE :
Adaptive Neural Output Feedback Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Unknown Hysteresis Using Disturbance Observer
In this paper, an adaptive neural output feedback control scheme is proposed for unsure nonlinear systems that are subject to unknown hysteresis, external disturbances, and unmeasured states. To accommodate the unknown nonlinear operate term within the uncertain nonlinear system, the approximation capability of the radial basis operate neural network (RBFNN) is employed. Using the approximation output of the RBFNN, the state observer and the nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) are developed to estimate unmeasured states and unknown compounded disturbances, respectively. Based mostly on the RBFNN, the developed NDO, and therefore the state observer, the adaptive neural output feedback control is proposed for unsure nonlinear systems using the backstepping technique. The first-order sliding-mode differentiator is used to avoid the tedious analytic computation and the matter of “explosion of complexity” in the conventional backstepping method. The stability of the full closed-loop system is rigorously proved via the Lyapunov analysis technique, and therefore the satisfactory tracking performance is guaranteed beneath the integrated impact of unknown hysteresis, unmeasured states, and unknown external disturbances. Simulation results of an example are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive neural output feedback control scheme for unsure nonlinear systems.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been keeping a super-low profile since the arrest and subsequent suicide of her infamous companion, Jeffrey Epstein. Now, though, a public move: The New York Times reports that the 58-year-old has sued Epstein's estate. She wants money to cover legal fees—she is accused in multiple suits against Epstein as someone who helped procure his young masseuses—as well as security because of death threats. What's more, the lawsuit claims that Epstein told Maxwell before his death that he would indeed cover her legal fees. "Maxwell reasonably and justifiably relied on Epstein’s promises and put her trust in Epstein that he would fulfill his promises," says the suit, per ABC News.
The lawsuit was filed last week in the Virgin Islands and made public this week, while the whereabouts of Maxwell herself remain unknown. It is "absolutely appalling that Ghislaine Maxwell, who committed crimes with Epstein against these victims, is seeking to drain funds from the very estate that should be paying the Epstein victims’ claims," says Sigrid McCawley, a partner in the firm representing one of the women suing Epstein's estate. In the suit, Maxwell again denies any knowledge of Epstein's sex crimes. For the record, the Times notes that Epstein's estate was valued at $600 million, though that was before the recent market meltdown. (Read more Ghislaine Maxwell stories.)

Two things. The first is this thread, which will teach you more about what’s really at the heart of Trump’s support than a thousand New York anthropological examinations of Midwestern noble savages ever could:
Trump’s Boy Scouts stunt got folks lamenting politics in nonpartisan spaces & “chipping away at civic culture.” https://t.co/lpVMarZ97C
— reconstructed pat (@panarmstrong) July 25, 2017
The second is St. John McCain, pretending once again to be above the process he is in up to his neck, scolding his colleagues as if he could do nothing that would influence their actions:
McCain bemoaned the tone of modern politics, suggesting that wild partisanship was paralyzing the country’s political institutions and tearing the country apart.“Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the radio and the television and the Internet. To hell with them. They don’t want anything done for the public good — our incapacity is their livelihood. Let’s trust each other. Let’s return to regular order.”
And that’s really the heart of it all. Shit had gotten awkward at dinner, for John McCain and for a lot of the wealthier supporters of Trump and his merry band of blithering GOP dicksmacks. It had gotten awkward talking around racism and sexism and general misanthropy and it was harder and harder to find cover for one’s overall contempt for the poor. People had grown less willing to believe in the inherent good will of a party that would start an illegal war, spy on Americans, burn a black president in effigy and grab women by the pussy. The invitations must have stopped coming, or at least slowed down.
How about this, though? NOBODY IN WASHINGTON IS ELECTED TO LIKE EACH OTHER THEY ARE ELECTED TO HELP PEOPLE.
I think it’s nice that there are friendships and bromances (until today, Kerry/McCain 4 EVA). Generally I think it is good that we have a society. I think it’s good to get along with your coworkers. But not when you’re people and they’re skin sacks filled with bees. And not when it requires you to balance your need to keep your buds with your need to serve your constituents, ie do your fucking job when you’re on the clock and bump fuzzies on your own time.
The most heartbreaking thing about all of this, though? Democrats would forgive it tomorrow.
I mean the elected ones, mostly, but also a lot of the rank and file.
If it meant we could help people some more, we would forgive all the horrific things that were said and all the horrific things that were done. For two years of a campaign and the first year of his presidency Barack Obama was subjected to the most vile racist attacks in modern political history.
His response? To try to give the very people who voted against him for vile racist reasons health insurance.
For her entire life Hillary Clinton was subjected to the most vile sexist attacks it’s possible to subject a white woman to, while she served her country with distinction.
Her response? To fight to protect that health insurance.
So I have very little doubt the Democratic Party would forgive it all tomorrow and go back to trying to help people. Some of us wouldn’t forget, but we’d go right back to work. Hell, some of us are still working, dark though our prospects are, to stop this while we still can.
The civility that the GOP is disingenuously begging for? After all this, we’d give it to them. If modern dinner conversation requires that liberals hold themselves in contempt for the very things that the contemptuous public says it wants politicians to do to help them, liberals would sign up for that shit tomorrow because taking one for the team is kind of our entire THING. Our fate is your fate, bitches.
I keep hearing that the past 6 months are the fault of dumb libtard feminazi bitches like myself who impose their political correctness by banning the words “Merry Christmas” and not valuing traditional American values. If my 12-years-of-religious-ed ass agrees that you can say whatever politically incorrect shit to me that you want, can we let people keep their baby’s chemo?
I’d consider that a fair bargain. I think a lot of my fellow libtards would as well, so babies can keep their cancer treatments. So that nobody has to face a bill they can’t pay after their baby dies. I think we would let people lecture us about traditional values. I think we would let them do it and we would fucking smile.
Just let us help people, that’s all we’re asking.
After all this time.

The respiratory process can be better understood by examining the properties of gases. Gases move freely, but gas particles are constantly hitting the walls of their vessel, thereby producing gas pressure.
Air is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (N2; 78.6 percent), oxygen (O2; 20.9 percent), water vapor (H2O; 0.5 percent), and carbon dioxide (CO2; 0.04 percent). Each gas component of that mixture exerts a pressure. The pressure for an individual gas in the mixture is the partial pressure of that gas. Approximately 21 percent of atmospheric gas is oxygen. Carbon dioxide, however, is found in relatively small amounts, 0.04 percent. The partial pressure for oxygen is much greater than that of carbon dioxide. The partial pressure of any gas can be calculated by:
(39.1) P = (Patm) × (percent content in mixture).
Patm, the atmospheric pressure, is the sum of all of the partial pressures of the atmospheric gases added together,
(39.2) Patm= PN2+ PO2+ PH2O+ PCO2= 760 mm Hg × (percent content in mixture).
The pressure of the atmosphere at sea level is 760 mm Hg. Therefore, the partial pressure of oxygen is:
(39.3) PO2= (760 mm Hg) (0.21) = 160 mm Hg
and for carbon dioxide:
(39.4)PCO2= (760 mm Hg) (0.0004) = 0.3 mm Hg.
At high altitudes, Patm decreases but concentration does not change; the partial pressure decrease is due to the reduction in Patm.
When the air mixture reaches the lung, it has been humidified. The pressure of the water vapor in the lung does not change the pressure of the air, but it must be included in the partial pressure equation. For this calculation, the water pressure (47 mm Hg) is subtracted from the atmospheric pressure:
(39.5)760 mm Hg − 47 mm Hg = 713 mm Hg
and the partial pressure of oxygen is:
(39.6) (760 mm Hg − 47 mm Hg) × 0.21 = 150 mm Hg.
These pressures determine the gas exchange, or the flow of gas, in the system. Oxygen and carbon dioxide will flow according to their pressure gradient from high to low. Therefore, understanding the partial pressure of each gas will aid in understanding how gases move in the respiratory system.
Gas Exchange across the Alveoli
In the body, oxygen is used by cells of the body’s tissues and carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. The ratio of carbon dioxide production to oxygen consumption is the respiratory quotient (RQ). RQ varies between 0.7 and 1.0. If just glucose were used to fuel the body, the RQ would equal one. One mole of carbon dioxide would be produced for every mole of oxygen consumed. Glucose, however, is not the only fuel for the body. Protein and fat are also used as fuels for the body. Because of this, less carbon dioxide is produced than oxygen is consumed and the RQ is, on average, about 0.7 for fat and about 0.8 for protein.
The RQ is used to calculate the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveolar spaces within the lung, the alveolar PO2 Above, the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs was calculated to be 150 mm Hg. However, lungs never fully deflate with an exhalation; therefore, the inspired air mixes with this residual air and lowers the partial pressure of oxygen within the alveoli. This means that there is a lower concentration of oxygen in the lungs than is found in the air outside the body. Knowing the RQ, the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli can be calculated:
With an RQ of 0.8 and a PCO2 in the alveoli of 40 mm Hg, the alveolar PO2
is equal to:
Notice that this pressure is less than the external air. Therefore, the oxygen will flow from the inspired air in the lung (PO2 = 150 mm Hg) into the bloodstream (PO2 = 100 mm Hg)
In the lungs, oxygen diffuses out of the alveoli and into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli. Oxygen (about 98 percent) binds reversibly to the respiratory pigment hemoglobin found in red blood cells (RBCs). RBCs carry oxygen to the tissues where oxygen dissociates from the hemoglobin and diffuses into the cells of the tissues. More specifically, alveolar PO2 is higher in the alveoli (PALVO2 = 100 mm Hg) than blood PO2 (40 mm Hg) in the capillaries. Because this pressure gradient exists, oxygen diffuses down its pressure gradient, moving out of the alveoli and entering the blood of the capillaries where O2 binds to hemoglobin. At the same time, alveolar PCO2 is lower PALVO2 = 40 mm Hg than blood PCO2 = (45 mm Hg). CO2 diffuses down its pressure gradient, moving out of the capillaries and entering the alveoli.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide move independently of each other; they diffuse down their own pressure gradients. As blood leaves the lungs through the pulmonary veins, the venous PO2= 100 mm Hg, whereas the venous PCO2 = 40 mm Hg. As blood enters the systemic capillaries, the blood will lose oxygen and gain carbon dioxide because of the pressure difference of the tissues and blood. In systemic capillaries, PO2= 100 mm Hg, but in the tissue cells, PO2= 40 mm Hg. This pressure gradient drives the diffusion of oxygen out of the capillaries and into the tissue cells. At the same time, blood PCO2= 40 mm Hg and systemic tissue PCO2= 45 mm Hg. The pressure gradient drives CO2 out of tissue cells and into the capillaries. The blood returning to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries has a venous PO2= 40 mm Hg and a PCO2= 45 mm Hg. The blood enters the lung capillaries where the process of exchanging gases between the capillaries and alveoli begins again (Figure 20.13).
Figure 20.13. The partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide change as blood moves through the body.
Which of the following statements is false?
1. In the tissues, PO2 drops as blood passes from the arteries to the veins, while PCO2 increases.
2. Blood travels from the lungs to the heart to body tissues, then back to the heart, then the lungs.
3. Blood travels from the lungs to the heart to body tissues, then back to the lungs, then the heart.
4. PO2 is higher in air than in the lungs.
In short, the change in partial pressure from the alveoli to the capillaries drives the oxygen into the tissues and the carbon dioxide into the blood from the tissues. The blood is then transported to the lungs where differences in pressure in the alveoli result in the movement of carbon dioxide out of the blood into the lungs, and oxygen into the blood.
The lungs can hold a large volume of air, but they are not usually filled to maximal capacity. Lung volume measurements include tidal volume, expiratory reserve volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. The sum of these equals the total lung capacity. Gas movement into or out of the lungs is dependent on the pressure of the gas. Air is a mixture of gases; therefore, the partial pressure of each gas can be calculated to determine how the gas will flow in the lung. The difference between the partial pressure of the gas in the air drives oxygen into the tissues and carbon dioxide out of the body.

Earlier this month, in an historic compromise between the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) and the United Egg Producers (UEP), citizens’ initiatives in the states of Washington and Oregon were put on hold in exchange for a commitment from UEP to work jointly with HSUS in support of a federal law to prohibit the cruel confinement of egg laying hens in barren battery cages. Although the UEP has defended battery cages for years, asserting that they promote animal welfare and food safety, the trade organization has come to recognize that the use of these cages is outside the bounds of acceptable conduct in our society.
The vast majority of citizens believe that farm animals deserve to be treated with respect, and they oppose commonly employed factory farming practices. With the UEP agreement, the egg industry has joined the pork industry and the veal industry, which have announced plans to phase out gestation crates and veal crates, respectively. Farm Sanctuary and our colleagues have exposed and challenged these inhumane confinement systems for decades, and we’re finally seeing progress, especially over the past ten years.
The UEP agreement is particularly important in that it calls for federal legislation. This will be the first nationwide law to address the welfare of animals on farms, and it could lead to other federal legislation addressing farmed animal welfare in the future, a possibility that has other industry groups concerned.
The UEP/HSUS agreement goes beyond just cage size and conformation. It will also require that eggs be labeled according to how the hens who laid them are housed, which will remind consumers that their eggs come from real, living animals and will help increase awareness about the consequences of their food choices. Everybody, except proponents of the factory farming industry, benefits when citizens make more informed and conscientious food choices, opting for foods that are more healthful, humane and environmentally sustainable.
Change occurs through the adoption of new laws and policies, like the HSUS/UEP agreement, and through consumer choices, which collectively define market trends. On both fronts, we are beginning to see positive signs. Still, there is an awful long way to go, and it is absolutely crucial that we keep pushing for improvements. Stay tuned to help enact the HSUS/UEP measure in Washington, DC, in the near future. In the meantime, you can vote with your dollars every day by choosing to eat plant foods instead of animal foods.

What is the process for ordering custom art?
STEP 2: I will be in touch to discuss all of the details and finalize your order.
STEP 3: Make an installment payment prior the the start of your artwork (50% of the final cost less your $100 deposit).
STEP 4: I will share progress photos and email you an image of the final piece upon completion for approval.
STEP 5: Final balance will be paid (this will include any special shipping/framing agreed upon costs).
STEP 6: Your artwork will be packaged and mailed.
What kind of photo(s) are the best to send for a reference?
Please visit this link to learn all about choosing the best reference photos:
How do I send my reference photos?
Send an email to me directly AFTER you have paid your deposit, or validated your gift certificate. Send to my email address with your reference photo(s) as a high quality JPEG attachment ** PLEASE do NOT send photos via facebook messenger, text etc.... Photos sent via text or messenger will be disregarded.
Can I put more than 1 pet (or a person etc...) in a single work of art?
Yes! As long as the size of art you are booking is 11X14" or larger, I will be happy to accommodate any special requests. Sorry, multiple subject compilations are not available in the 8X10" size.
When will you begin/finish my artwork?
My custom artwork is started in the order in which deposits are received, or, gift certificates are validated. My wait list can range from a few weeks to up to a full year. While I try and give the best estimates for start and finish dates I can, this is not an exact science so please book well in advance if you want to plan for a special occasion, birthday or holiday. Smaller pieces and graphite works of art take less time than larger color art. Usually an 8X10 graphite is completed in about a week's time. More complex pastels and mixed media can take a month or more.
What will the final balance be for my artwork?
This will be different for almost every work of art. Your size and media chosen, background options, how many pets or people in the artwork etc. will all play a part in calculating a quote for your custom artwork. The cost of the piece will be established after reviewing your reference photos and we agree upon your custom artwork order. Once the plan for artwork and a quote is agreed upon and I begin working, you may not change your order. The final balance due may only change slightly if the artwork is very large or requires special packaging.
What about shipment?
After your artwork is complete and balance has been paid, I send my artwork wrapped in glassine paper sandwiched between layers of thick cardboard (and / or foam board) and send via USPS insured. Typically, shipping fees with the USA are between $15 and $35 for smaller works and $35 - $75 for large pieces. I do not charge over $100 for shipping regardless of the end cost unless you are having a FRAMED work of art shipped with glass. These artworks must be sent UPS with special packaging and the costs typically begin at $100.
When is my final balance due?
After I send you a finished image of your artwork and you approve the piece, I will package the art and get your final shipping estimate. If you are using a validated gift certificate you would have already paid $15 toward shipping so that of course will be subtracted as part of your deposit when calculating your final balance due. Payments can be sent via paypal, venmo, or personal check and payment in full must be received before I ship the artwork.
What If I am not happy with the art?
While I am proud to say that this has never happened before, I promise to RE-DO your artwork or provide a gift certificate for 75% of your deposit. Any re-do's will be added to the waitlist at the bottom of my current running list. To make sure you are 100% satisfied with the final art, I am happy to share progress photos during the creation of the piece so that you will have ample opportunity to ask me to modify something if you feel it's not developing as you would like.
What if this artwork is a surprise gift?
**** UNLESS IT IS REQUESTED THAT I DO NOT, I SHARE ALL OF MY ART ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS ** Please be sure to let me know if you do not want me to share your work in progress with the public. I can keep a secret if you need me to!

Dylan Farrow on Woody Allen: "Why Shouldn't I Want to Bring Him Down?"
The full sitdown with Farrow, Allen's daughter, airs Thursday.
In a sitdown set to air in full Thursday, the daughter of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen is speaking out in her first televised interview about the sexual abuse allegations she has leveled against her famous father.
In a clip from the interview, which will air in full on CBS This Morning, host Gayle King asks Dylan Farrow about accusations that she is "caught up in the #MeToo, Time's Up movement" and "trying to bring Woody Allen down."
To that Farrow says simply, "Why shouldn't I want to bring him down? Why shouldn't I be angry? Why shouldn't I be hurt? Why shouldn't I feel some sort of outrage that after all these years, being ignored and disbelieved and tossed aside?"
Farrow said that after all these years, it's "on them" whether or not people want to believe her.
"All I can do is speak my truth and hope. Hope that somebody will believe me instead of just hearing it," she said.
Farrow first alleged decades ago, in 1992, that Allen sexually assaulted her when she was seven years old. In 2014, Farrow penned a letter to The New York Times, detailing her adopted father's alleged abuse. Farrow wrote a similar op-ed for the Los Angeles Times last December, linking the filmmaker to the #MeToo movement.
With renewed focus on Farrow and her claims amid the #MeToo movement, she has continued to assert that the details of the alleged incident, her family's custody battle and the director's "pattern of inappropriate behavior" have not been properly exposed to the public.
Allen has repeatedly denied Farrow's claim that he sexually assaulted her and no criminal charges were ever brought.
In early excerpts from the sitdown, Farrow tells King, “I am credible, and I am telling the truth, and I think it’s important that people realize that one victim, one accuser, matters. And that they are enough to change things."
Since Farrow resurfaced her claims during the Golden Globes, she has seen an outpouring of support from many of the women behind the Time's Up movement. In a CBS Sunday Morning segment over the weekend, Oprah Winfrey sat down with Time's Up activists — including Reese Witherspoon, Natalie Portman and America Ferrera — to discuss the initiative and brought up Farrow's claims against Allen. Farrow thanked Winfrey and the women for their "belief and support."
Actors Timothee Chalamet and Rebecca Hall are some of the stars who have pledged to donate their salaries from their work on Allen's films to charity in light of the re-emergence of the claims. Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig recently stated that she regrets having worked with Allen as an actress in 2012. Ellen Page, Gerwig's co-star in the film, had also said working with Allen was the "biggest regret" of her career.

Teenagers need more Sleep Alex Dahl
Issues Paper 2000 words
High school students need to get more sleep.
Asking a teenager to wake up at 7:30 in the morning for school is like asking an adult to wake up at 4:00 am (Blad). Teenagers have different circadian rhythms compared to children who have not gone through puberty and adults. Teenagers naturally go to sleep, and wake up later than the rest of society. Along with other things, in order for teenagers to perform well in school, stay healthy, and have high self-esteem they need to sleep for nine to ten hours every night. Younger kids who haven’t been through puberty naturally wake up earlier. There has been scientific research to prove these claims but it is difficult and expensive to simply change the start time of a high school. Some schools in the United States have made the change and started school later; these schools have enjoyed grade improvements and an overall build in moral (Wheaton). So why won’t schools help students be better people and start school at a natural time. Parents who have had children go to schools that start later notice that their kids go to bed at the same time and get more sleep because their schools starts later (Blad). Schools should shift the bussing schedule and make better communities that raise outstanding citizens. Starting school for teenagers later in the day will help improve grades and health, even though it is difficult, schools in the United States should do whatever it takes to shift their start time to match the natural sleep cycles of teenagers.
I am writing this paper from a biased point of view. I enjoyed high school but the shroud of sleepiness hung over my head throughout my career. My senior year of high school I’m not sure if I went a day without dozing off in one of my classes. I am probably an outlier among tired students in high school, but I know that I was not the only one. Only 20% of students get the suggested nine hours of sleep in a night (Survey). I was lucky to get around six and half hours of sleep. I got very good at falling asleep in class and could slip into a nap very quickly. For some reason I was tired all day until around ten at night when I would perk up and finally feel good. I would start and finish my homework late at night and then go to sleep and repeat this process. As an immature teenager I wonder what it would be like if my parents would have taken over and helped me get better sleep. I know that I can’t blame my problems with sleeping on my parents but it would have been nice if they could have taken away all distractions and forced me to go to sleep. Of course this sounds good now but at the time I am sure it would have been a tough adjustment. Teenagers are always doing dumb stuff right? I remember staying awake sometimes until two am watching netflix just because I could. Writing this paper I realize that my teenager brain was not smart enough to make the rational decision to turn off the electronics and go to bed on time.
The root of the problem lies with a parental gap between teenagers and their parents. In a national poll conducted in 2006 by the 90% of parents polled that they thought their child was getting enough sleep a couple nights a week (Survey). This statistic does not match up with the one that says 28% of high school students fall asleep in class during the week (Survey). My parents used to go to bed around 10 and I wouldn’t see them until the morning. Parents always know whats best right? I wonder what I would have said if my parents restricted my electronic usage at nine pm on school nights? Looking at stimulants like the T.V or a cell phone does not help the body wind down and fall asleep. “Modern technology has significantly altered how and when we might naturally sleep” (Carroll). It is important to turn off all screens at least an hour before bed. Taking a bath and reading a book are some of the good ways to let the brain relax before bed. “Over the last 103 years, there have been consistent rapid declines in the sleep duration of children and adolescents.” (Loughran). Blue light from electronics inhibits the release of melatonin and stops adolescents from falling asleep. One of the reasons adolescents cant fall asleep is because the part of their brain that makes rational decisions like going to bed on time is not fully developed (Blad). Teenagers have a difficult time relating their actions to consequences. This is another example that supports the claim that parents should be more involved in helping their children get to bed earlier. Maybe kids electronic devices could be set to automatically turn off after a certain time at night. It has not been proven that electronics has directly caused this trend but it makes sense. Looking at blue light stimulates the brain and doesn’t allow the body to relax and fall asleep. Limiting screen time before bed and limiting screen time in general throughout the day can help teenagers get more exercise and go to sleep earlier. I wonder if my parents would have restricted my phone use if they understood the facts about electronics and sleep. I wonder if I would have listened to them when they told me to put my phone away before bed.
Most parents complain about moody unfriendly teenagers. I know that mine did. But who knew that the solution to many of these problems comes from more sleep. On average 45% of adolescents get insufficient amounts of sleep on school nights (Survey). There is a massive shift in wake times and bedtimes of teenagers from weekdays to weekends and this is part of the reason they don’t get enough sleep during the week. A typical Junior in high school will wake up at 6:30 am and go to sleep at 11:00 pm. On the weekends they usually wake up around 10:00 am and go to sleep around 12:30 (Sleep). This natural sleep on the weekends makes it difficult for adolescants to wake up for school on Monday. After Monday it takes teenagers a while to reajust to this forced sleep schedule. I remember Teusdays used to be almost harder than Mondays because my body was reajusting. So what if parents woke their children up earlier on weekends or made them go to bed earlier. But this natural sleep on the weekend is very important for teenagers to catch up on their health. The public school system has been in place for years without much change. Maybe this traditional system is flawed and needs to be replaced. Maybe school could go 6 days a week and be shorter.
One way in which school systems are challenging the norm is implementing the four-day school week instead of the traditional five-day week. This has been a recent shift in school districts and there have been many pros and cons. Most of the time this has been happening in elementary schools but who is to say it wouldn’t work for high school kids. Teachers have been able to prepare better lessons on Friday instead of Saturday and spend more time with students during the day. For example, students can now write a rough draft of a paper at school and work on finishing with their teacher. This shift has saved money. But it has also increased costs for some parents and decreased in workers wages. The biggest con has been the decrease in access to schools for income students. Some schools have seen student improvement while other schools have returned to the five day school week after seeing no improvement (Long). There are many alternatives to the traditional school week that will help students get more sleep and live healthier lives.
Another alternative would be to switch the busing schedule within a school district. Most school districts run the buses for the high school first, middle school second and elementary last. But really it wouldn’t be that bad to flip that and have the elementary school run first. Or some school districts have started having their students take public transportation to fix the bussing issue. Simply running more buses would be too expensive in already underfunded school systems. To get around this some school districts have gotten creative by having their high school kids take public transportation instead of the school’s buses (Norton). There are many solutions to this problem it seems like school districts are just too stuborn and unwilling. Some school districts have started charging parents for their kids to ride the bus. If this was the case they could charge parents and get more busses to fix the solution.
The frustrating thing for me is the schools that have changed their start date and had improved test scores and other school districts still refuse to adjust. Most people think that for teenagers to get more sleep all they have to do is go to bed earlier but it really is not that simple. Adolescent brains release melatonin later in the day compared to adults and therefore go to sleep much later in the day (Norton). One major example of a school system changing its start time was the Fairfax County School district in Virginia. They were approved to start their school between 8 and 8:10. They shifted their time to comply with the research proven and even though there was backlash from parents they thought it was important enough to figure out logistically (Blad). The tricky thing is until some school districts have tried this out and research has been conducted. The test scores of these students might go up but there is also a good change that they will be unaffected. Criticizers of starting school later talk about the difficulties that would come from after school sports and jobs. Families might have to pay for day care before school started for the younger children going to elementary school in the family. This is why the idea to restrict electronic usage before bed time to reduce the affects of blue light is one of the best options. If school districts moved the start time even an hour later in the day. Moral of students would improve drastically. Going against the grain and changing the norm is always awkward but this is something that needs to be done.
Research has been conducted, proven and published by scientific organizations proving that teenagers need more sleep than adults. Their circadium rythyms maket it difficult to go to sleep before midnight and rise early in the morning. Compared to the rest of the world teenagers naturally go to sleep later than most people and naturally want to rise later in the day. Adults and teenagers often have said. Why don’t they just go to bed early they are just lazy. But it is not that simple. Getting deficient amount of sleep can cause a multitude of negative effects. A continuous lack of sleep can cause a higher risk of obesity, low self esteem, poor performance in school and a multitude of other negative effects.
Schools and communities know that they should start school later but they haven’t complied to the common sense because it is very difficult to just switch a schools start time to later in the day. Buses have to be rearranged. Starting the high school later effects middle schools and elementary schools. As well as after school sports and part time jobs. Parents who need to drop their little kids off at elementary school would have a difficult time if the school started earlier or later. Day care would have to be provided. But all in all it would be completely worth it to change the start time of high school. When I was going to school I would usually go to bed at midnight on weekdays and weekends. It was very difficult for me to go to bed earlier. I tried regularily swimming at the local pool to try and tire myself out. I tried meditation and sleep apps where a man with an Irish accent speaks softly into your ears and helps you relax. I made it out of high school alive and I was accepted into college so I don’t have much to complain about but maybe if my high school started at a reasonable time I would be able to remember the things that were taught to me. The proven research is too convincing for school districts to keep ignoring. Communities and schools need to step away from the norm and make the change to a later start time in order to create better citizens.

The Game Innovation Lab hosts a wide range of faculty and student projects. Here are a few currently active projects—contact individual lab faculty for a complete list of their related research initiatives.
Prof. Andy Nealen with Aaron Isaksen, Dan Gopstein, and Prof. Julian Togelius
Game designers adjust game parameters to create an optimal experience for players. We call this high-dimensional set of unique game variants game space. To help designers explore game space and better understand the relationship between design and player experience, we present several methods to find games of varying difficulty. Focusing on a parameterized version of Flappy Bird, a popular minimal score-based action game, we predict each variant’s difficulty using automatic play testing, Monte-Carlo simulation, a player model based on human motor skills (precision, reaction time, and actions per second), and exponential survival analysis of score histograms. Our techniques include searching for a specific difficulty, game space visualization, and computational creativity to find interesting and unique variants using clustering and genetic algorithms.

When legislators don't do the work, voters tend to get fed up, step in and do the decision-making for them. Problem is, we're not that good at setting cohesive policy.
Hence California's patchwork of spending formulas, mandated earmarks and the ludicrous two-thirds majority required to pass a tax increase — one of the main culprits behind Sacramento's budget gridlock and radicalization of state Senate and Assembly representatives.
That won't stop us from trying again.
Right now, the California Teachers' Association is gathering signatures for a ballot initiative that would raise the state sales tax one cent to be spent strictly on education. While I'm all for sparing school districts from the machete, another ballot initiative formula is not the way to fund education.
This is part of how we got into this mess in the first place.
But don't expect voters to learn when the Legislature hasn't, either. One of the suggestions our lawmakers are seriously considering is sending budget-balancing plans to the voters.
If that happens, maybe the voters should consider a different type of ballot measure — a recall. Of everyone.
Because if doing their job is just too much work, we should do lawmakers the favor of removing the burden.

November 15th, 2014
2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion. Of course, most people immediately gravitate to that group from Liverpool, but we will not do that here. Here we consider The Kinks, formed by brothers Ray and Dave Davies out of Muswell Hill, London. Ray Davies was the frontman and songwriter, handling vocals, rhythm guitar, and harmonica, while Dave Davies played lead guitar. The Kinks filled out with Pete Quaife on bass and Mick Avory on drums.
The Kinks debuted in October 1964 with the album simply titled Kinks on British label Pye Records. The 14-track effort was raw and raucous and served to differentiate The Kinks from some of their more polished British counterparts. Kinks offers a mix of covers and originals and is best-known for the long-standing hit “You Really Got Me”, penned by Ray Davies.
The Kinks Pye Records catalog was released on CD in Europe in the 1980s. By this time, Pye had changed its name to PRT Records (Precision Records and Tapes), and these early CDs bear the PRT label. The initial batch of PRT Kinks CDs were pressed in West Germany, and the original West German PRT CD of Kinks was released under catalog number 8.26670. This CD is dated 1987. The label side has a simple blue PRT label motif with blue text and no paint coating. There is a plastic ring at the center of this disc, and the matrix code is “8.26670 CDM01”.
Shown below are the inserts associated with the initial PRT issue of Kinks, along with the West German pressing.
The cover for the West German pressing of The Kinks Kinks (PRT, catalog number 8.26670). This is the standard cover photo for this album. Note the PRT CD catalog number printed in the top right corner.
The back insert for the West German pressing of The Kinks Kinks (PRT, catalog number 8.26670). This insert is dated 1987 at the bottom. As also noted along the bottom, this insert was printed in West Germany.
The West German pressing of The Kinks Kinks (PRT, catalog number 8.26670). “Made in W. Germany” is printed at 3 o’clock. The matrix code is “8.26670 CDM01”.

If it sounds, both to ear and brain, like a no-brainer—country two-beat infused into Dixieland spontaneous jubilation—well friends and neighbors, it’s a sandwich served fresh and worth salivating over. The Dukes do their thing, the Oak Ridge Boys do their thing on top of that. Several carefully selected guest singers drop in to take the lead while the Boys take an inspirational background- vocal back seat, and the whole thing’s fit for a swingin’ party with shined-up floors where ten-gallons swap lines with fedoras.
Nobody droops at a dance, so the Dixielanders don’t drop their determination. Ben Smith’s big-lunged trombone, and Ryan Burrage’s clarinet, especially, sound a clarion call, even on “Closer Walk with Thee.” Country producer James Stroud keeps things bell-clear, and maybe it’s all the 78s I’ve gone through recently, but I wished for a bit more grit in the mix.
Thumbs-up to the younger, lesser-known singers, bright and in some cases, slightly nervous, like it’s their turn at the small-town, big-prize talent show. Lathan Moore sounds much older than what I’m assuming from photos is his twentysomething years, but more than anything he sounds relieved, asking “Are You from Dixie?” while hoping for a fellow traveler a long way from home. Bobby John Henry, eager to be “Back in New Orleans,” breathes relief and longing in the same exhalation.
And yes, oddly enough for a party, hints of regret and missed opportunities creep in. Richard Scott Obenschain’s “That’s What I Like About the South” withholds all critiques of Dixie, but throws in a broken heart near the finale. The Boys’ recasting of “Bobby Sue” complete with Richard Sterban’s rubber-bubbling bass at the bottom, embraces teen marriage, ignoring the painful repenting-at-leisure such unions often produce.
Callaway McCord, it’s true, belts forth a strident, brassy and confident medley of “Jambalaya/I’m Walkin’/ Toot Toot,” reminding the listener that Dixie/Country is not confluence but a step back upriver to where those waters meet originally. Want cheer? Keep to the snappy beat and the testifying gospel. Save those lyrics for later.

Discouraged, I watch the deer eat the lettuce in my garden and shrew moles peak their heads between my carrots. Gardening in the foothills is a hopeless passion. Between hail, frost, drought and animals – how did our ancestors feed themselves anyway?
I pondered this epicurean question with Julie Walker, naturalist, guide and forager. She looked at me and said “Simple! It is all about working ‘with’ nature not ‘against’ nature.” I sat back, smiling; Walker’s passion shines through as she proceeds to educate me in the ways of the past: the forgotten wisdom of First Nations and resourcefulness of the early settlers.
Alberta’s prairies, foothills and mountainous ecosystems offer incredible arrays of edible plants that are truly delicious and nutritious.
Cattail, that mundane plant that grows in wetlands can be eaten raw, pounded into flour, or its green flower spikes cooked and eaten like corn on cob. Who knew?
First Nations people in Southern Alberta – the Piikani, Blood, Stoney, Tsuu Tina and Siksika followed the seasons, harvesting plants to create
a diet rich in culinary delights. Their knowledge of the flora was vast and mostly held by women. “So, you are telling me I am surrounded by food?” I asked. “Well of course!” Walker replied. For example, Wild Rose (Rosa Arkansana), a native shrub, produces “hips” or berries used for teas and berry mash, just like Saskatoon. Other local plants, such as Arrowhead, Chicory and Cow Parsnip can be mashed, boiled, roasted or pounded to make a variety of foods, teas, and medicines.
As she looked at my garden, Walker continued, “Settlers brought with them plants we consider today wild or undesirable. Some of these “foreigners” like Lamb’s Quarters, (Chenopodium Album) a tasty, full flavour plant, loves to grow in rich healthy soil. Similar to spinach, they grow from May to September and are very productive. Two or three plants can supply a family.” Another “foreigner” is the Plantain leaf (Plantago Major) known to First Nations as “White Man’s footprint”, as wherever the white man went, this plant shot up.
Perhaps the most infamous food plant is the Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). Growing almost everywhere, it can be used for a myriad of purposes. According to the University of Maryland Medical Centre, the pesky dandelion is full of vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as many minerals. The plant came over to North America with the first settlers because of its diverse properties; its leaves are delicious in salads and teas, the roots can be made into coffee substitute, and the flowers to make wine. Concoctions can also made to treat several common medical conditions.
I looked at my lawn with all its dandelions. No wonder deer love us – we practically have a 4 star Michelin restaurant in front of the house. I
also have a fleeting thought about mead in the region successfully using dandelions, wild roses or local herbs and berries. Perhaps there is a revival of sort happening.

California judge sentences two killers of a 13-year-old to ... anger management therapy
In a case that's drawing a lot of attention based on the insane level of leniency shown, two 14-year-olds who bullied, murdered, danced on the body of, and filmed a helpless 13-year-old, have been let off with the mother-of-all-slaps-on-the-wrist by a Riverside County Superior Court Justice.
According to local radio station KTLA:
Two 14-year-old Southern California boys who beat a fellow student in 2019, causing his death, won’t go to jail but must undergo anger management therapy, a judge ruled.
Riverside County Superior Court Judge Roger A. Luebs imposed the therapy as a probation condition before releasing the teenagers to their parents on Thursday, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Friday.On Sept. 16, 2019, the teenagers were videotaped attacking 13-year-old Diego Stolz outside classrooms at Landmark Middle School in Moreno Valley, east of Los Angeles. One boy struck the teenager in the head from behind and he fell, hitting his head against a pillar. The boys then continued punching the boy, who died nine days later from a brain injury.
Last fall, the boys entered the equivalent of guilty pleas in juvenile court last fall to involuntary manslaughter and assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury. They spent 47 days in juvenile custody.
The helpless 13-year-old orphan had been bullied, brutalized, begged for help from the teachers' unionized school officials whose fat-salaried job was to protect him, and got nothing. They let him get murdered. And early on, they callously blamed the kid's family for his killing, instead of themselves. The case makes one's blood boil.
How can a 13-year-old's life be worth absolutely nothing? The kid was an orphan, living with his aunt and uncle, who are now suing the school district for its lazy indifference. They'll get money no doubt, but the kid still lies dead, robbed of absolutely everything as the killers snigger in remorselessness, a fact noted by the judge in this KTLA passage:
At their sentencing, the judge said psychological reports described the boys as lacking empathy and said they blamed the victim for the attack.
All the same, as City News Service reported, the judge ignored Department of Probation recommendations to throw the book at this pair (and like Jimmy Carter with the Iranian hostage-takers) he said he really didn't think they meant to kill the kid despite their slamming him into a wall, dancing on his head, and videoing their vileness for all their creepy little friends to see.
Parts of his sentencing were obnoxious, too:
Luebs directed that each offender enroll in character development and anger management classes, as well as perform 150 hours community service, not play violent video games, avoid social media and write letters of apology to the Stolz family. They were additionally ordered to permanently steer clear of one another.
Luebs warned the pair that any probation violation could land them in deep trouble, possibly resulting in time behind bars.
Why, exactly, are they getting 'one last warning' to behave themselves, when they've already done the worst they could possibly do? These killers should have had their one-last-warning before they moved up to killing people. This didn't happen out of the blue -- one of these plagues-on-society was already on probation when he tried his hand at killing. How seriously are they going to take this latest 'one-last-warning'? The message they've gotten so far is that if they get caught violating probation, all they will get is another one-last-warning. But remember, one more chance.
In the past, killers of this stripe went to juvenile detention up until the age of 26. A few went to real jails with the adults, given the callous nature of their crimes and their demonstrated incorrigibility.
These killers get anger management "therapy," character building courses (what, Upward Bound-style romping on rocks in a Kidz Kamp vacay?), and 150 hours of community service (where they are likely to be a plague again meaning they will get signed off without the hours by the community groups just to get them away from them). No video games, no contact with each other, no cell phones (which they used to plan the killing) and merely 'avoiding' social media, all of which are going to be impossible for authorities to monitor. As for apologies to the family, ugh. Forced apologies are phony and insulting, and rest assured, theirs will have something insulting in it.
What these killers need is actual punishment, not free social services. They got those earlier and look what happened.
The aunt and uncle of the murdered orphan, who pleaded and pleaded with authorities to help him, leaving a trail of evidence of it, are rightly suing the school district for its pattern of indifference to the plight of the kid, who had no choice but to be in that stinking school, like it or not. Yes, they have a case, and if I were on that jury, I'd give them everything they asked for.
The broader problem is that this is criminal justice "reform" in action -- coddling and protecting the killers, and ignoring the victims of murder who can't, after all, vote, lobby, or go to the press -- kind of like unborn babies now. For a helpless orphan, what chance at all did he have against such killers?
Yes, the judge bears some blame for ignoring probation department recommendations and handing out this slap on the wrist. Why he did it is very hard to parse.
Was he a crazy leftist who takes money from Soros? Apparently not. His record shows him to be an apparently moderate Democrat or moderate Republican, donating money to the likes of then-moderate Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Republicans Rep. Ken Calvert and now-former Sen. John F. Seymour during his money-donating days in the 1990s as an attorney. He was appointed judge by then-Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, who is a decent man, not a crazy, and quite moderate compared to the lunacy out there now. He's located in the Inland Empire, which is historically one of the more conservative parts of California. He's run unopposed in recent elections according to Ballotpedia and not answered questions about his political views on the same forum. I looked for controversial rulings from him and didn't find any thus far. It's hard to say what happened, but the judge did note that his decision was going to be unpopular. According to KTLA:
“I know that my decision will not make everyone happy. In fact, it will probably make some people in the community angry,” the judge said.
“I’m sorry there isn’t more I could do to address your loss,” he told members of Stolz’s family.
No kidding. But the judge isn't the main problem here.
A much bigger and better-defined culprit is one-party all-blue legislative California, which did indeed pass some terrible "criminal justice reforms" to effecively nullify all punishment for under-18 killers of orphans. One law, possibly the one cited by the judge, appears to be here, mandating 'least restrictive environment' all to give the felonious youngsters more of a normal childhood, you see, as if that was going to happen given how they responded to such an environment before they went out killing people.
The other thing is, these "reforms" have literally emptied out California's juvenile detention centers.
Here's a list of measures from ten years ago from one of the Soros-style criminal justice reform outfits:
State Drastically Reduces Youth Prison Population
Over the past several years, litigation and concern about dangerous conditions in California youth prisons resulted in media attention, stakeholder education about the problematic conditions, advocacy by a broad spectrum of organizations, and increased costs to the state for the confinement of youth. These developments have led to higher numbers of youth being treated by community-based programs in some counties, legislation restricting the types of offenses that can lead to state imprisonment, and budget realignment that redirects funds from state juvenile justice to the counties. These practice and policy changes—along with an unfortunate increase in direct files to adult court—have contributed to a dramatic drop in the population sent to California’s state youth facilities over the past fifteen years. On February 22, 2010, the California Division of Juvenile Justice closed the Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility in Chino, the state’s largest juvenile prison. The state now has only three youth prisons, down from 11 in 2003. The overall population of California’s youth prisons has declined from a staggering 9,572 in 1996 to 1,082 at the end of 2011, an 89 percent decrease.
In San Diego County alone, which abuts Riverside County, pretty much nobody juvenile goes to jail anymore, no matter how many classmates they kill. Here's a left-slanted 2018 report touting the empty jails in the local Voice of San Diego:
San Diego County’s four detention facilities can hold 855 young people. But on a recent Wednesday, just 311 youths were housed inside the county’s prisons and camps, said Chief Probation Officer Adolfo Gonzales. At least five to six wings of the county’s juvenile detention space are totally empty at present, he said. Just eight years ago, the number of incarcerated kids was three times as high: The average daily population in lockup stood at 1,008 for January 2010.
The report has a doozy of a graph showing plummeting juvenile detention numbers in multiple California counties, including Riverside. Apparently, nobody goes to jail, no matter what they do and word has gotten out in the thug-American community that the killins' are easy now.
It goes to show that so-called criminal justice reform is a total fraud. Nobody gets punished. And for helpless, 13-year-old orphans like Diego Stolz, nobody gets justice. This is vile, and cries out for reform. The little kid got zero justice. His life was essentially declared worthless by the leftists in power in California. One can only hope that this finally is what it takes to wake up California's voters and make this 'criminal reform' legislation an issue. The only people who benefit here are actual criminals.

UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed warned the General Assembly that, without action from the international community, the digital divide will become “the new face of inequality”.
Almost half of the world’s population are still offline with women constituting a large proportion of this population. Infrastructure Australia is due to publish a report in June that details the inequitable access to digital services and learning in the country.
As a community, our responsibility is to create digital environments that connect everyone regardless of gender or income. Amina Mohammed calls for a “global town hall” to address the growing divide and “capitalise on technology’s transformational potential to create new jobs, boost financial inclusion, close the gender gap, spur a green recovery and redesign our cities.”

Management Accounting Change in the Public Sector: A French Case Study and a New Institutionalist Perspective
In this case study, we analyze in a French public company the adoption mode of a new management control system pertaining to New Public Management principles. We compare the formal system designed and deployed in the organization, the discourses of its promoters and users and the observed practices of the latter. We identify clear decoupling patterns occurring there at the utilization level of the new system. We elaborate on the notion of decoupling and discuss the reasons conducing to the observed decoupling patterns in this organization.
