Almost every new handgun comes with some form of white painted three-dot sights. And I think they’re terrible. So terrible that I want everyone to join in my anti-three dot campaign so together we can force all the handgun makers to quit putting them on their pistols.
I’ve spoken in passing of my disdain for plain white 3-dot sights in just about every handgun review I’ve written, but have refrained from going into much depth. A few people have asked me to elaborate, so in honor of that request I’m going to let you, the readers, guide this conversation with another
make-believe 100% authentic Q&A session.
Q: You think we should get rid of all three-dot pistol sights? Even night sights?
A: No, I should clarify. I don’t have a problem with all 3-dot pistol sight configurations — just the miserable little non-illuminated white-on-black 3-dot sights that come stock with almost every new handgun.
Q: So what’s actually wrong with three-dot sights and what’s the alternative?
A: The main issue that I have with white three-dot sights is a lack of contrast. All three dots are the same color, and they’re usually about the same size, too. There’s too much competing for my attention.
This isn’t good for quick sight acquisition or sight tracking during rapid fire. I want some visual aid to help my eyes distinguish that front sight from the rear. Ideally, that means a front sight with some kind of bright, contrasting color to help it stand out.
Q: The front sight is the one in the middle, dummy.
A: Thanks for the tip. When I’m pulling the trigger five times per second on a rapid fire string, my eyes need as much help as they can get to see what’s going on. Following the front sight because “it’s in the middle” is a whole lot easier when it doesn’t look identical to the rear sights. In fact, plain black sights would even be preferable to the dots. If they all look the same, they’re more of a distraction than anything.
“When I am shooting, I want to see sights and not a geometry problem.”
– Wiley Clapp
Personally, I prefer a two-dot setup with a bright fluorescent front sight and a small dot in the middle of the rear sight notch. There are a couple of companies that make this style, like the Pro i-dot from Ameriglo. The front sight is a tritium insert with a bright orange ring around it that really stands out in almost any lighting condition.
But really, I’m not all that picky about sights. Three dot sights are just fine as long as there is contrast and something that will stand out in low light. Something like the Trijicon HD Night Sights are excellent, but even a fiber optic front sight with a plain black rear is a huge improvement over the white three-dot style.
Q: Well I like the white three-dot sights that came with my gun. It’s just a personal preference. This is America and you can’t tell me what to do!
A: Sure, you can have whatever sights you want, but I have to ask; are you sure you really like those white three-dot sights? What have you compared them to?
The thing that really chaps my caboose about white three-dot sights is that their prevalence as the industry standard has led so many gun owners to accept them without question.
I think a lot of people claim they “like” three-dot sights because they’re such an obvious upgrade over the old-school tiny post and notch sights. Or maybe they haven’t even shot an old gun and every pistol they’ve used has had three-dot sights so they don’t have any frame of reference.
If you practice regularly, track your performance with different sight setups and then tell me that you shoot better with white three dot sights than any other style, then I’ll believe you.
Q: Three-dot sights are a cost-saving measure. Gun manufacturers use them because not everyone can agree on a better option that wouldn’t increase the cost to make the gun. What do you expect?
A: There are a couple of viable options that I’ve seen manufacturers try as an improvement over white three-dots.
First is fiber optic rods on the front sight. They aren’t as cheap as the white painted sight, but would add far less to the production cost than tritium night sights. Springfield Armory has done this with some of their XDm and XDs pistols, and I’ve also seen it on some inexpensive .22LR pistols.
The other way to go is to follow Glock’s lead and use the absolute cheapest excuse for sights they can come up with as the standard factory option. That lowers the manufacturer’s cost and the savings is passed to the customer who pays less for the pistol so they can afford to upgrade the sights on their own.
Q: I don’t like cheap factory sights either, but I can’t afford a fancy pair of night sights to upgrade my pistol.
A: I’ve been there. Fortunately, there are plenty of cheap ways to improve your factory sights. Fluorescent model paint on the front sight works well, especially if you start with a coat of white primer. I’ve also heard good things about reflective tape like 3M Scotchlite. A black sharpie can help tone down the bright white paint on the rear sights, or use a paint marker if you want to black them out entirely. I’ve modified several pistols like this, including the mil-surp CZ-83 pistol I wrote about a few months back.
Thanks for joining me for another reader Q&A. I hope you all found it as productive as I did. Feel free to keep those questions coming and I’ll keep
making up my own answering them!

In order to supply a valid source of reference for the language teacher, we, at the Vocational School of Technical Studies, have conducted a survey to find out the effects of emotional and social skills of the learners, paying particular attention to the academic achievement, emotional intelligence and social skills and found out that students with higher academic scores were also equipped with certain social skills like self esteem and empathy. While doing this literature on the area has been scanned and case studies have been performed and one to one interviews were used so as to reach formal quantitative results. This study aims at finding out the importance of social intelligence and emotional intelligence in terms of managing language learning process. To reach this goal, a research has been conducted on the students of (n=240) of two institutions of vocational education in Istanbul. In the research, participants' emotional intelligence was assessed by the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI, 2nd Version) developed by Boyatzis and Goleman and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA-scale) proposed by Hjemdal, Friborg, Martinussen, and Rosenvinge. According to the results, relationship was revealed among emotional intelligence, social intelligence and language learning. Publication Metadata onlyCollaborative Bilingual Teaching in Turkish EFL Context(2018) Yılmaz, Melda; Dikilitaş, Kenan; 114284; 146362The aim of this case study is to investigate the way of implication of collaborative bilingual teaching based on co-teaching model between English language teacher and content /class teacher in a private primary level school in Istanbul in the fall term of 2017-2018 academic year and to explore the perceptions and attitudes of the administrators and teachers related to this programme maintained in Turkish EFL context. During the bilingual collaborative teaching, each 1st grade class is staffed by two Turkish native teachers, a monolingual Turkish class teacher and a bilingual English language (L2) teacher, and the medium of instruction is both in the native language, Turkish, and the international language, English. In this study, qualitative research method was used and the data was collected by means of semi structured interviews with 4 administrators and 12 teachers and observations conducted in two classes where co-teaching bilingual education was operated. The data was analysed by means of inductive analysis, a bottom up approach. The analysis of the data revealed out information about the implementation of the programme and the teachers' practises based on different co-teaching roles, administrators and teachers' perceptions including the benefits of the collaborative bilingual education and the challenges faced in this programme and the future actions need to be taken for a successful bilingual education based on collaboration. Thus, the findings were categorized under three main themes: 1) Implementing Collaborative Bilingual Programme and Classroom Practices, 2) Administrators and Teachers' Perceptions, and 3) Future Actions (Actions Need to be Taken).

Get ready for a complete experience of the Pyhä-Luosto fells!
This excursion starts in Rovaniemi, where your guide will pick you up directly from your accommodation. You will be offered professional Winter clothing and Winter boots to make sure that you will never get cold. Remember to dress appropriately though as, in Lapland, temperatures may drop as down as -30C!
Your guide will then drive you to Pyhä-Luosto National Park, the oldest national park in Finland. During this 1h30 drive, you may already enjoy the snowy scenery of Lapland forests and, if you are lucky, spot some local animals such as reindeer along the road. Once arrived in the national park, your guide will give you safety instructions and teach you how to use snowshoes.
You will make your own way through the forests of the national park, snowshoeing in the deep snow and exploring the arctic nature. Your guide will always be leading you and will be happy to share their knowledge about the surrounding nature, Lapland, its history and its culture and life in the Arctic. The snowshoeing excursion takes around one hour (2,5 km) until you reach the bottom of Lampivaara, the hill of the amethyst mine. A typical Finnish snack with hot drinks will be cooked over an open fire. This is the perfect opportunity for your guide to show you their fire-making skills, in the traditional way - without any match or lighter!
After this nice BBQ snack, you will be transported by "snow train" (the so-called Pendolino) to the top of the hill into the amethyst mine. As you go up the hill, you can enjoy the view, the horizon line in the distance, the other fells and the Taiga forest spreading all around you. The guided visit of the amethyst mine lasts around one hour. You will be explained about the geology and nature of the area and the formation of amethyst crystals 2000 million years ago. Stories contain also beliefs that are associated with this purple gemstone all of which are positive.about the geology. You will also get the chance at the end to dig the ground to find your own jewel (and you can even keep it!).
You will then snowshoe back through the forests, trying a different route or - if you are too tired - follow the beaten track. You will be back to Rovaniemi around 16:00 pm, with plenty of memories and fun!

Concrete company eyeing new site
After the Tonganoxie planning commission turned down Gene Meier's plans last month for a concrete batching plant along Laming Road, the Topeka businessman turned to Plan B.
Now, the owner of Meier's Ready Mix holds an option to purchase about five acres along the west side of Leavenworth County Road 5, south of U.S. 24-40. And he's hoping he can build his batching plant there.
Meier needs a little help from city officials, though.
On Jan. 5, the planning commission is set to consider an addition to the city's zoning ordinance that would allow concrete mixing or batching plants on land that carries I-2 (light industrial) zoning. A public hearing on the issue will be conducted at that meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. at Council Chambers.
Under the change that planning commissioners would consider, a concrete mixing or batching plant would be allowed if all mixing operations and storage of materials were within an enclosed structure. In addition, the change calls for the site to be well-screened from all sides.
"A batch plant would be allowed, but that batch plant would have to be fully enclosed," said Chris Eppley, city administrator. "So we've made some modifications so that there are tight reins on the type of batch plant that we would allow. All of the trucks would be in a neat, orderly fashion. The mixing will occur inside closed containers, so it should be very, very clean and efficient."
Meier said he believes the land he's eyeing on the west side of County Road 5, across from Meadows Construction is well-suited to his company's needs. The site, which is owned by Steve Sturgeon, carries an I-2 zoning designation.
"At least we'll be compatible with everybody else in that area," he said.
In early November, planning commissioners denied Meier's request for industrial zoning on Laming Road, after hearing objections from area residents and receiving a protest petition signed by 196 people.
At that meeting, however, several planning commissioners said they wanted Meier's plant, but not on the Laming Road site.
"If we get there, we will be a quality operation," Meier said. "It will be a first-class operation."
Meier said Tonganoxie residents shouldn't be concerned about dust. At a batching plant, he said, rock, cement and water are mixed and then dumped into a truck.
"We've got a 12-inch vacuum line that takes any cement dust that escapes and brings it back through a filtering system," he said.
"We want to be a good neighbor. We will be a good neighbor. That we guarantee. We have a lot of pride in our operations."
Meier operates in 11 Kansas cities: Atchison, Ozawkie, Holton, Topeka, Burlington, Osage City, Emporia, Council Grove, Herington, Junction City and Manhattan-Ogden.
"We run a real nice operation in every city," he said. "We try to make it look nice. We haven't had complaints anywhere."
The company, which was founded in 1973 in Topeka with two trucks, now runs about 105 trucks and employs about 165 people.
Meier said he anticipates that 10 to 15 trucks will be based in Tonganoxie and the company will employ 15 to 17 people.
"We've been able to hire high-quality people because we're paying good wages," he said, adding that the pay rate is $12 an hour or more.

NOVEMBER 10 — Last week, the Singapore government prohibited the use of PMDs (Personal Mobility devices) — basically small electric scooters — on footpaths. This sparked a bout of political activity from an unusual demographic: teenagers and the youth.
Hundreds of, generally, young people delivered petitions, attended consultancy sessions with their local MPs last week or posted long heartfelt comments on social media as they tried to get the PMDs on footpath ban overturned.
Why the passion for PMDs? Because they are the vehicle of choice for Singapore’s growing number of food delivery riders.
There are estimated to be over 7,000 riders using PMDs to make deliveries. The deliveries are largely, but not exclusively, in the service of the popular food delivery apps — Grab Food and Deliveroo.
The majority of these riders are young, from their teens to early 30s. The PMDs allow them to cover a much larger delivery area faster which means they can earn more from the services they work for.
The riders are typically paid per delivery. he ban will have an immediate impact on these riders' wallets.
In a way, PMDs are victims of their own success. They became near ubiquitous before people really had a chance to get used to them.
The fact that they are near silent means there is actually a higher chance of collisions and inexperienced riders and a public unfamiliar with the devices meant accidents were inevitable.
In 2018, around 300 people sustained injuries severe enough from PMDs that they required treatment by a doctor/hospital.
The decorations, sound systems added to their PMDs by the youths and the tendency of riders to congregate in little gangs didn’t do much to endear them to the broader populace either.
PMDs are clearly useful which is why they have proved so popular. While Singapore has a strong public transport — connectivity particularly if you want to move from the centre to the suburbs and vice versa, intra and inter suburb connectivity can be improved by PMDs.
They are perfect for journeys of up to a few kilometres — from your home to your friend's place, from your home to the local mall etc.
Given they are emission-free, disruptive and come in a diverse range of shapes and sizes, there has to be a role for them (or some of them) in future transport plans.
One suggestion would be to increase the number of cycle paths — increasing the areas where they can go.
This will take some time but turning cycle paths into a means of last mile connectivity for a range of devices will really help connect out suburbs.
Overall though this will take some time and require serious investment.
The other approach might be to assess and designate some existing footpaths and pavements as suitable for PMDs and not others.
Mandatory visibility jackets and even a points-based licensing system might also make riders more mindful and less of a hazard.
Restrictions can also favour smaller safer PMDs, ones with lower speeds and smaller handlebars which are less likely to cause harm.
Ultimately a pragmatic approach and not a blanket ban might be the order of the day.
I read somewhere that parts of Western Singapore would be designated a test bed for autonomous vehicles; perhaps another part of the country could be a testing ground for PMDs.
I volunteer my neighbourhood because truly safe PMDs would really be a boon to local communities and ensure you get your Korean Fried Chicken, faster.
* This is the personal opinion of the columnist.

عنوان مقاله [English]
Peripatetics believe in the existence of a causal relationship between the human soul and its faculties. They state that faculties and powers have a dependent and inseparable status of the soul. Generally speaking, causality needs the cognation of cause and effects, which is possible in the light of a certain kind of existential cognation. As cognation requires the superiority of creative agents over their effects and indicates the existential gradation between them. Therefore, the causal relationship between the soul and the faculties is not an exception, and the type of ontological relationship between them is based on the main rules of peripatetic philosophy. In this regard, any kinds of pure multiplicity and distinction between the soul and the faculties lead to a definite denial of the causal relationship between them and challenge the ontological and the inseparable connection between the soul and the faculties. So, this is the human soul that refers causality to the soul via the terms of principle, origin, source- in the sense of the existence of the objective aspect of the soul in relation to the faculties and addresses the effect to the faculties through the terms such as effect, sub-functions, and functions. This shows the acquisition of the objective existence of faculties by the human soul. Then, how is it possible that the faculties are known as the branches, sub-branches, and accessories of their actual cause share their existence with the objective reality of the cause?

McGuire, a year-old project engineer from Grand Haven, Michigan, saw it as a way to revisit his favorite game series, and rekindle a romance that started more than a decade before with Halo: Combat Evolved. McGuire is a hardcore devotee of the franchise. As a student at Michigan State University, he sold an old guitar and bought an Xbox and a copy of Halo 2 to stay competitive with his friends. They played Halo 3 for years, devouring the map packs and using the game to stay in touch after graduation. And so he was beyond stoked to hear about The Master Chief Collection. It was to be a rabid fan’s dream come true, a one-and-done single-disc “box set” including high-definition remasters of Halo and Halo 2 and improved versions of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Best of all, the beloved online multiplayer of all four games would be served up in a mix-and-match sashimi platter of shotguns, snipers, energy swords, and battle rifles. Everything looked great, and the early word was Microsoft had done it right.

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Lily Ye on Magdalena Tulli’s In Red, this week’s Read This Next book, which is translated from the Polish by Bill Johnston and coming out in September from Archipelago Books.
Lily comes to us from the University of Chicago by way of Jeff Waxman’s glowing recommendation. Expect to see her name on Three Percent a lot over the next few months, since she’s managing the Read This Next project.
Here’s the opening of her review:
Stitchings, the town in which Magdalena Tulli’s In Red exclusively takes place, is one of those fictional locales which always has me wondering if there is some place in reality perhaps so-named that has been reimagined, or if it truly exists only as a fantastic realm in the author’s imagination. With a poor working knowledge of anything geographic in general, it would not have surprised me to find out that Tulli’s Stitchings did in fact exist—but it is largely due to the power this imaginary town wields in dictating the course of the novel’s many intertwining threads that contributes to a nagging feeling that there must be something corporeal to this place, for it to grip its chronicler so tightly.
The narration never shifts its focus from the town: every narrative move seems to be led by flow of time through this singular place. Characters and plots appear and disappear as their significance waxes and wanes in relation to the life of the town itself. You cannot choose a favorite protagonist, for as soon as you do, Stitchings may have already lost interest, or better yet, said protagonist may well die (as most quickly do), but having died, might yet also return (not uncommon as well). The love story, the war story, these are not narrative frameworks Tulli has time to dwell on, for Stitchings presses on without regard for a classic conflict-resolution arc. A single bullet can be fired which will continue to orbit the earth, completely ignored, until it reappears in the town thirty pages later, firmly lodging itself in a man’s chest.
Throughout the book however, like the most insidious of villains, Stitchings remains largely concealed in the background. As its own entity, the town is only brought into the foreground a few times where the audience is directly addressed in the manner of a travel or tourist agency.

Super Bowl XLVIII is finally here and for most Broncos fans it's like Christmas Eve with about ten times the stress.
But for players and coaches that's what they're looking to avoid as the hours and minutes tick down to the big game.
Often times we hear the typical comment of, "it's just a game," but for most Americans the Super Bowl is a bit more than that.
Both coaches reacting this week to what it would mean to win the Super Bowl, for them personally and for the communities they represent.
"It would mean a lot. We've got a lot of close friends here, neighbors, from my Wayne days. So it would mean a tremendous amount to win it here," said Denver Broncos head coach, John Fox.
"It makes for so much fun. The whole buildup, the whole following, knowing that it's a global event on game day just adds to the fun of this thing and the challenge. It continues to be out there for us to reach for, and that's very exciting," said Seattle Seahawks head coach, Pete Carroll.
And News 5 will be there to capture all that excitement as Jennifer Horbelt reports live after the game on News 5 at 10.

American researchers have evaluated the usefulness of acupuncture for postoperative pain. They conducted a systematic review of the evidence, including fifteen randomised controlled trials of acupuncture versus a sham control, and found that at 8 hours and 72 hours after surgery, the acupuncture groups were using significantly less opioid painkillers (eg. codeine and morphine). Furthermore, acupuncture treatment was associated with fewer opioid-related side-effects, such as nausea, sedation, dizziness, itching and urinary retention.
The authors conclude that their review suggests the perioperative administration of acupuncture may be a useful adjunct for postoperative analgesia. Further large, well-designed studies are required to confirm those findings and to answer questions regarding the most efficacious type of acupuncture and optimal timing of administration.

Over 20 years later, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator stays arguably Russell Crowe’s most iconic function. Forward of Gladiator 2’s upcoming launch, the actor highlighted a formidable homage to Maximus Decimus that’s as random as it’s scrumptious. Crowe’s likeness was simply carved out of chocolate for a pageant in Malta, and the Oscar-winning actor is able to take a chunk out of it.
Russell Crowe took to his X account to showcase the particularly spectacular piece of chocolate. Try a life-size Maximus made out of that delectable materials:
Some individuals get statues product of bronze.Some in marble.In Malta, they’ve made me out of … chocolate !!!This weekend in stunning Malta is the world well-known Hamrun Chocolate pageant.The artist is Tiziano Cassar.When the competitors is over, I can be obtainable to eat… pic.twitter.com/y7pHd0NiwnOctober 19, 2023
Crowe appeared to be dazzled by the distinctive tribute to his character from Gladiator. As he wrote, “some individuals get statues product of bronze, some in marble” however he has the nice pleasure of being made out of chocolate. Because the actor shared, Maximus rose from the useless in a a lot sweeter type for 2023’s Hamrun Chocolate Competition, which came about this previous Saturday in Hamrun, Malta.
It’s a moderately fashionable pageant that noticed 25,000 individuals in attendance the 12 months earlier than, which isn’t a shock contemplating it permits its friends to pattern many kinds of sweets. The 2023 occasion was the thirteenth version of the occasion, and never the primary time life-size sculptures product of chocolate. Up to now, Elvis Presley and one of many Minions from the Despicable Me franchise have been additionally created with the favored dessert ingredient.
Tiziano Cassar was the mastermind behind the sculpture, however one main query stays: how was Maximus eaten? I hope they despatched Crowe a bit of the sculpture to take pleasure in as a result of I can think about it might soften over time. It might be moderately humorous if he acquired the top particularly.
The unique Gladiator was filmed in Fort Ricasoli, Malta, the place a reproduction of a portion of Rome’s Colosseum was constructed to the peak of 52 ft and reportedly value the manufacturing $1 million. The 2001 Finest Image winner was moreover shot in England and Morocco. The second Gladiator film, which Ridley Scott is directing as nicely over 20 years later, can also be anticipated to return to Malta for filming, however has at present paused manufacturing because of the SAG-AFTRA actors strike.
The Gladiator sequel has a shocking forged led by Paul Mescal as an grownup Lucius Verus, a personality who was the son of Maximus’ lover Lucilla within the unique movie. The forged additionally consists of Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Joseph Quinn, Might Calamawy, together with Connie Nielsen, Derek Jacobi and Djimon Hounsou reprising their roles from the 2000 film. Crowe just isn’t anticipated to return as a result of Maximus’ loss of life within the film, however sure, he’s “barely jealous” the sequel is occurring with out him.
Gladiator 2’s launch date is at present amongst upcoming 2024 films, however we’ll need to see if its continued delay in manufacturing will result in a launch date push. Whereas Crowe’s Maximus could stay a distant reminiscence within the sequel, the actor can now boast having an precise chocolate statue made in honor of the character. Take that, Paul Mescal!


Feasibility Study On Missile Launch Detection And Trajectory Tracking
Naval Postgraduate School Monterey United States

With the increased use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAVs in military operations, their role in a missile defense operation is not well defined. The simulation program discussed in this thesis studies the feasibility of utilizing UAVs to patrol a potential Intercontinental Ballistic Missile ICBM launch area using a single or multiple Counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicles CUAVs, detecting the launch event and tracking an ICBM using the CUAVs onboard optical sensors. The ultimate goal is to assess the parameters of ICBM ascent and provide target information to bring the attacking UAVs onto the anti-missile launch course to reliably intercept the threat. This thesis explores the challenges in creating a simulation program to process video footage from an unstable platform and the limitations of using background subtraction method to detect the missile motion. Although the simulation program test results showed that it is unable to consistently detect a missile launch and track its trajectory for all the test videos the developed algorithms allowed a surveillance UAV to detect a missile launch for most of the videos and also track its trajectory with an accuracy that is sufficient for targeting purposes. This thesis is limited to using the simulation program to detect a launch event offline and is based on the amateur rocket launch data gathered during the launch trials at Mojave Desert in May of 2016.

This plan was established to assist the Environmental Protection Bureau in the auditing and inspections of fixed pollution sources in the attempt to determine the emission of air pollutants. The auditing efforts covered 205 sites during the plan, including 112 effluent pipes from factories, 30 points at the premises of several factories, 30 sites of sulfur-containing liquid fuel and 10,000 points of detection on leaks from equipment. In addition, the motoring and survey of environmental heavy metal and dioxin discharge in areas of high pollution risk were conducted. 6 factories were added to the VOC emission fingerprint database for 50 points totally. For hot zones for fault smell complaints, FTIR and FLIR were used for monitoring and investigation. Suspicious sources of environmental pollution were identified through scientific sampling, testing, evidence collection and identification. Inspections were performed on 481 sites of fixed pollution source in order to have a better understanding of the process and materials introduced in these factories as well as push them to meet local air pollution regulations. Video surveillance and micro weather stations were established in specific areas to improve control accuracy and gather evidence of pollution. Furthermore, survey was conducted for improvement of high priority complaints. Local people were interviewed to gain information on the cause of high profile cases or current pollutions, as to encourage the improvement of pollution source and thus satisfy people. Efforts were invested on the maintenance of response energy for major air pollutions. Incident response drills and wargaming simulation were planned to improve disaster rescue and realize lateral communication mechanism.

Here is an advance peak at my latest poetry collection slated for release in 2018 called Drowning in Sanguine Dreams. It's a tribute to my Dad. It was very painful to write, but I hope you like it.
All these years, you’ve cast me in the clay of your shadow.
But, I seemed to love only myself.
My world was an antinomic array of colors. Your world was stringent lines, and tetrahedrons.
I once made you guess where I could have been, never where I should have been. Why? Why, Dad?
Why did I give you a hard time?
Now that you’re gone, there’s no noose hanging lazily around my neck, waiting for its turn at being fastened tightly.
Now that you’re gone, I’m more unhappy than I’ve ever been.
Romance is such a waste of time. Finding friendship in an open handshake and an acrimonious split by text message.
Family never calls sacrifice sacrifice. Family never expects forgiveness. You taught me that.
I could never tell you I loved you face to face, but I always have, no matter how hard I tried to hide it.
Now that you’re gone, there’s an insufferable emptiness devouring everything that made me whole.
Until I become the void itself that consumes my soul.
Seeing you there, sprawled on the ground, EMS trying to save you, pounding at your heart, willing it to live…
When I had broken it long ago.
Did it ever occur to me that I could lose you? Did it ever dawn on me that you could go?
Now that you’re gone, shadow and light roll into one everlasting twilight, and hither I roam, searching like a young lamb seeking his shepherd.
For years, it was you, me and Mom.
No one else. Christmas just the three of us. A nucleus. An indestructible atom.
Yet I took you for granted. I never said how much it hurt that you never bragged about me to our other relations. You’d talk about my brothers, my sister.
But you gave so much of yourself to me. You didn’t leave because you loved us.
We’re family. We’ll always be.
Dreams are quiet when I ask you to come.
Sleep is restful. I have nowhere to run.
Daylight is miserable. Night time worse. Splendor is a memory. But, we’ve been through worse than people could put us through.
Never as much as it hurts to lose you.
In a world where I was wrong, you defended me. At an age when I am expected to stand alone, you lifted me up.
Now that you’re gone, the world is a barren husk. A cavity in my chest carries nothing.
For I am nothing.
I was nothing.
Until you brought me into this world and called me your son.

The “2nd Investing in Africa Forum” in Guangzhou has highlighted the strides of complementarities for shared prosperity within the continent.
As African countries battle to attract viable investments in their drive to journey out of biting underdevelopment, global financiers and other experts where investments have succeeded outstandingly feel the continent stands to gain much were it to share experiences and embrace best practices. Experts from the World Bank, China Development Bank and Guangzhou, in one of China’s most industrious provinces, hold that there is need for innovative investment mechanisms to make the environment increasingly business-friendly.
At the end of a two-day “2nd Investing in Africa Forum” in China’s business hub, Guangzhou, Guangdong province (September 7-8, 2016), attendees came to a conclusion that the continent needs to upgrade services for investment promotion, be open for mutual cooperation and combat all forms of protectionism for fruitful trade and long-term win-win investments. Over 38 African countries took part in the forum with South Africa’s President, Jacob Zuma and Benin’s Head of State, Patrice Talon, leading their respective countries’ delegations.
From Ma Kai, Vice Premier, the State Council China passing through Zhu Xiaodan, Governor of Guangdong Province to the two African leaders, China with her market advantage and technological know-how remains a choice partner for natural resource-rich Africa. Developing infrastructure wherein Africa greatly lags behind and coincidently where China has the funding opening and engineering prowess, they agreed, could bolster the cooperation.
Building human capital, concentrating in areas where the countries and regions have comparative advantages and producing in industrial scale as well as ensuring local processing of what is produced in the continent, the experts posited, could produce the magic wand. The forum also suggested a think-tank alliance to deepen research and other partnerships between African and Chinese universities and institutes. The goal is to create a long-term impact of the growing Sino-African cooperation for the good of present and future generations.
The choice of Guangzhou city and Guangdong province as host of the 2nd edition of the forum after Addis Ababa in 2015, organisers said, was not unrelated to their cooperation with Africa and proximity to the outside world. The province is described as the forerunner of China’s reform and opening-up and hosts three of China’s five special economic zones. Records show that Guangdong has long been China’s trade centre. Its exports and imports in 2015 totalled 1022.95 billion USD, surpassing China’s other provinces for 28 years running and comprising more than a quarter of the entire nation’s foreign trade. The forum therefore permitted Africa to see the effects of the growth on the ground and to learn the secret.

Excluding all of the footage from unrelated events, one particular clip from Monday’s trailer was called out by multiple journalists for being misleading. The footage in question appears 22 seconds into the trailer and shows photographers leaning over a balcony to capture pictures of Harry, Meghan, and their baby son Archie, who is being held in his mother’s arms.
In a tweet, Evening Standard royal reporter Robert Jobson attacked the trailer for seemingly using the footage as an example of press intrusion, stating that it was taken during an official royal event that a small group of reporters had been given permission to attend.
“We were covering an official visit where they had taxpayer funded protection and all the trappings,” Jobson said in a follow-up tweet. “This is just nonsense. The palace was not part of some ‘set up’. No conspiracy here, just lies, and misuse of photos taken from [official photographs].”
Chris Ship, a royal reporter for ITV, agreed with Jobson, retweeting his fellow journalist’s remarks and adding that the access granted to the small media group was “highly controlled.”
When a Twitter user replied to Jobson that “[the footage is] not meant to be literal, it just conveys the vibe, chill,” Ship responded, “Truth is also important.”
In fact, many royal family fans pointed out that neither trailer actually shows Harry or Meghan being targeted by the press, as they describe in the trailer’s voiceovers. In fact, some pointed out the irony of Monday’s trailer including two different shots of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, (then known as royal girlfriend Kate Middleton) being followed down a street by members of the press. It fails to show any video of Meghan or Harry in a similar situation.
Harry & Meghan consists of six episodes and will be released in two parts, Netflix said Monday. The first three episodes are out on Thursday; the final three will drop Dec. 15.

An Australian fast-food chicken company has a fowl running its Twitter account.
Betty the chicken has taken control of the Chicken Treat’s Twitter account for the last week.
Betty forms the tweets, mostly nonsensical words and characters, as she pecks at or walks over the keyboard.
The company will continue this exercise until Betty successfully tweets a five-letter word in English, which will apparently earn her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
On Thursday, she typed “bum” — which was close but didn’t win her the title.
No word yet if Betty is going to wind up in the fryer, but she and the stunt have helped grow the company’s Twitter account to almost 8,000 followers.
If you’re thinking what animal rights activists are thinking about all this, the company told CNN that the stunt has “been approved by (the Australian Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) & abides by all standards regarding animal welfare.”

Although the global economic environment is difficult, firms are facing talent constraints in many areas. And competitive businesses have competing objectives to retain and attract talent, while at the same time minimizing costs. For many organizations, a better understanding of employee preferences is the key.
Through tools like conjoint analysis, firms can identify the benefits and rewards that are important to their employees, and re-allocate or reduce spend to more effectively meet the needs of their employees. By using several cost-effective tools, companies can achieve "nirvana" --- a more satisfied workforce and a reduction in total rewards costs and attrition. In this webcast you will learn how Hewitt has helped several firms reach meet these competing demands, by collecting preference data, tying it to benefit cost data, and re-working existing total rewards structures.

This week, a quartet of lovely songs from the British Isles:
Above, Irish singer Mary Black joins Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and the Donegal band Altan for a stirring performance of the Irish Gelic song "Siúil A Rúin," filmed in concert in Glasgow. (The English translation of the chorus is: Go, go, go my love/Go quietly and peacefully/Go to the door and fly with me.)
Below, Scots Gaelic singer Kathleen MacInnes performs "Oran a Cloiche (The Song of the Stone)" by Donald MacIntyre at a TransAtlantic Session in 2011, accompanied by Sarah Jarosz, Mike McGoldrick, Russ Barenberg, Donald Shaw, and Nollaig Casey. The song recounts the dramatic (but temporary) return of the Stone of Scone to Scotland in 1950, boldly retrieved from Westminister Abbey by four students on Christmas Day. (You can read the song's lyrics in translation here, and the full story of the stone here.) MacInnes comes from the Outer Hebrides and is now based in Glasgow.
"Ye Banks and Braes," performed by Scottish singer/songwriter Holly Tomás, from Edinburgh. The lyrics, based on a Robert Burns poem, are written from the point of view of a love-lorn woman as she walks by the banks of the River Doon in Ayrshire.
The Poozies, a wonderful Anglo-Scots all-women trad band, with their gorgeous song, "We Build Fires." The song refers both to the ancient system of building beacon fires on high hills as communication and defense signals, and also to the pagan ceremonial fires lit at various sacred times during the lunar calendar.
The Poozies have had several line-ups over the twenty years that they've been performing, but in this video it's: Sally Barker (lead vocals and guitar), Jenny Gardner (fiddle), Mary Macmaster (harp), Pasty Seddon (harp), and Karen Tweed (accordion). If you'd like to hear more music from The Poozies this morning, go here and here, or try any of their seven CDs.

Welcome the the Long Island Creative Vortex. The Long Island Creative Vortex started back in the winter of 2011 in our basement. The original idea was an experiment based on asking the question: What would happen if we combine large scale group painting, music, poetry and discussion?
I knew there was something to this, so I put out the call to some local artists and musicians and gave it a shot.
Throughout that first event all the layers of creativity and collaboration developed into a synergy we called a creative vortex. We were sharing ideas and techniques between stories and laughs creating this sense of community that grew stronger throughout the night Our shared efforts created this powerhouse of positivity that lasted days for each one of us. After seeing the effects of what we did, I started a group on Facebook called the Long Island Creative Vortex to connect with more people. We began hosting these events every week. It wasn’t long before we outgrew the basement and evolved into a program with a more inclusive purpose.
Over the past ten years I have been honored to work with a number of local communities, businesses and institutions to create positive and inspirational experiences for the public. By doing this on behalf of our clients, we develop a valuable purpose drivenÂ public relations campaign that works.
Made You Look – A Show of Reflections
I curated this event at the East End Arts Council with Mark Cadicamo ofNight Vision Creations, Inc. We worked with 16 artists who all worked on canvases that were in the shape of the hand from the game Made You Look. We asked each artist to work with the theme of Made You Look. Once we installed the show, we placed a mirror in the middle of each piece so that the observer would be looking at themselves while reflecting on the work.

Outside of the Box was a project used to bring awareness to the EJ Autism Foundation. We built a giant steel box and covered the outside with multiple paintable magnets. The idea was that the painting could be moved around throughout the event and at the end, everyone would be able to take a piece home with them. This was set up in various locations such as the Brickhouse Brewery in Patchogue, The Velvet Lounge in Setauket, Studio E in Miller Place and a number of schools on the south shore of Suffolk County.
Shifting Reality Across Long Island
The East End Arts Council located in Riverhead New York contacted me through our Facebook group and asked me to come up with a project that would bring awareness to their organization. I proposed an idea called “Shifting Reality Across Long Island”. The idea was to build a canvas based on the theme of Reality and bring it to various locations across Long Island where we could re-create the Creative Vortex experience while handing out information about the Arts Council. This piece would constantly be changing as it was repainted at each event serving as a visual representation of our shared reality. Artists would be invited to participate at each event to get the ball rolling, but our goal would be to include anyone interested. This was a huge success. We did a total of 15 locations that completely pushed the boundaries of the project’s purpose. We started with clubs and warehouse events to working with hospitals and foundations that work with children who have special needs. Throughout the Shifting Reality tour, I saw that same positive effect flow consistently. People would open up to each other as they opened up to themselves and what ties us all together – our ability to create.

The Trump administration is moving to scrap an Obama-era policy that protected LGBTQ patients from discrimination, alarming health experts who warn that the regulatory rollback could harm vulnerable people during a pandemic.
The health department is close to finalizing its long-developing rewrite of Obamacare’s Section 1557 provision, which barred health care discrimination based on sex and gender identity. The administration’s final rule on Thursday was circulated at DOJ, a step toward publicly releasing the regulation in the coming days, said two people with knowledge of the pending rule. The White House on Friday morning also updated a regulatory dashboard to indicate that the rule was under review. Advocates fear that it would allow hospitals and health workers to more easily discriminate against patients based on their gender or sexual orientation.
The Obama administration moved to create its non-discrimination protections in response to advocates and health care experts who said that LGBTQ patients were being turned away from necessary care or intimidated from seeking it out. The broad rule also offered specific protections for transgender patients for the first time and extended protections for women who had abortions. But a federal judge in 2016 blocked those protections following a lawsuit from religious groups, and the Trump administration has steadily worked to weaken the rule before it could take full effect.
In last year's proposal, the health department also proposed changes that went further than simply rolling back the new Obama protections, moving to eliminate similar nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ patients that were contained in other regulations.
"If the final rule is anything like the proposed rule, HHS is adopting changes that would be harmful in the best of times but that are especially cruel in the midst of a global pandemic that is disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities and exacerbating disparities,” said Katie Keith, a lawyer and Georgetown professor who’s tracked the rule.

Mayor Ed Lee has an opportunity to champion one of the smartest proposals to come out under his administration: A ballot measure to restore SF’s vehicle license fee to its longtime level of 2 percent. The measure would raise crucially needed revenue that would boost transit and make San Francisco’s streets safer.
But the mayor has recently appeared reticent about supporting the measure, especially since a poll showed early this month that only 44 percent of respondents said they would vote for it — even after hearing that it would raise roughly $1 billion over the next 15 years for pedestrian safety projects, bike infrastructure, transit improvements, and road re-paving.
The VLF increase was proposed by the Mayor’s T2030 Transportation Task Force, along with two $500 million general obligation bonds and a half-cent sales tax increase that would go to voters in 2016. Restoring the VLF to 2 percent, from the 0.65 percent level in place since Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger slashed it in 2004, is the only measure in the set that specifically asks drivers to pay more towards maintaining and upgrading the entire transportation system.
Yet despite the mayor’s successful campaign to repeal Sunday parking metering, which he claimed would garner motorist support for the ballot measures, Mayor Lee might abandon the VLF measure anyway. That scenario worries Supervisor Scott Wiener enough that he introduced a backup plan last week, in the form of a charter amendment tying general fund spending for Muni to population growth.
But rather than taking precious funds from other crucial city services to subsidize the costs of driving, restoring the VLF instead would help recoup the devastating loss of transportation revenue caused by Schwarzenegger’s move, without actually increasing the fee beyond its historic levels.
“It’s what everybody paid for 50 years. 1948 is when it started, at 2 percent,” SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin told Streetsblog.
The lion’s share of local street and transportation spending comes from taxes levied on the general public, both now and assuming all of the proposed measures pass. A 2 percent VLF represents a meager step towards ensuring that drivers pay for the disproportionate costs they incur to the street network, through wear and tear on roads, traffic congestion, air and water pollution, and crashes.

How QuestionScout started their logo design journey
Who are you known as?
QuestionScout / questionscout
What’s your company slogan?
Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach
QuestionScout is a tool that allows businesses and individuals to create online forms and surveys. At the essence, QuestionScout is a tool that allows people to collect data (through the means of asking and answering questions). Tools that you might know that does something very similar are Typeform and Surveymonkey.
Our target audience is incredibly broad, as our usage ranges from students, universities, individuals, small businesses and enterprises. We're looking for a logo mark accompanied by a typeface that people can remember and resonate with. We want to be that tool that's part of their "happy list" of tools, like MailChimp or Stripe.
What industry do you think your business is most related to?
What colors do you want to see in your design?
To give us an idea of the overall feeling of your brand, let us know which styles you lean towards
The colorfulness and uniqueness to this mark is something that stands out to us.
The organic lines and unique font choice stands out in this mark.
The organic lines and "home" feeling is what we love about this mark.
The uniqueness in this logo mark stands out a lot to us. The typeface we don't like so much.
A lovely play between the typeface and the mark.
We love the organic lines in this mark.
We love the smart play between the typeface and the mark. Looking at this you immediately understand what the brand represents.

A lovely play between colors, mark and typeface!
A lovely play between their mascotte and typeface.
In our opinion, the best mascotte there is. Makes you feel welcomed and happy!
I would like to reiterate this to all new & existing designers working on this contest. You have *full* creative freedom on creating our logo mark. We're more than willing to modify our marketing content to work with the new brand mark (use whatever font style you'd like, serifs or sans. Also use any colors you think to work well with our brand. You have full creative freedom!).
We're mainly looking for a logo mark that people will remember. A mark that differentiates us from our competition (feel free to google for some other online form/survey building tool, and you'll get the idea). A mark that makes people feel welcomed and warm. We have cases where we use our mark separately, and where we use it alongside our logo text, so both of these need to be designed.
Our logo will be displayed in small and large sizes, so it needs to be capable of being displayed that way (think favicon size vs billboard size). We will also be using it in both colored & black/white variations, so we would prefer a logo that's able to handle both.
You can play around with our current application on https://www.questionscout.com to get a feel for what we're doing. Creating an account is completely free.

ABC7's Hungry Hound is taking us there through the eyes of a pair of Chicago-area chefs who are attempting to recreate the Baja-style fish taco in some delicious new ways.
Tacos are everywhere lately. Just last week, a place called Taco Joint opened in Lincoln Park. Barrio also opened in Lakeview, and of course, DeCero has been offering its wonderful tacos for awhile on West Randolph.
Now, fish tacos are big business on Mexico's Baja peninsula, as well as in San Diego. Either of those places sound good right about now, but a couple of local chefs are taking the concept of fried fish in a tortilla and adding a few new touches of their own.
On any given day, the cozy dining room at Bien Trucha, in West Suburban Geneva, is hopping. The bartenders craft handmade cocktails while the customers sample inventive Mexican street food, including the tacos.
"We do everything from scratch, all the salsas, we roast every tomato, every pepper, and we roast the salsas; they are a very important thing on the tacos and we try to bring all different varieties," said Bien Trucha owner Ricardo Garcia Rubio.
Rubio's fish tacos are impressive. A trio of tilapia is dipped in beer batter and fried, then placed into corn tortillas. A zesty slaw of purple cabbage, tomatoes and chipotle aioli is mixed then mounded on top. Another special might include the pescadilla tacos, which contain shredded shark, a Mexican herb called epazote, plus a creamy-hot pico de gallo made from avocado and habanero chiles.
"Everything that we do here it's our own inspiration. We go over there, we see a recipe, we come here and we change it to our own style.We don't try to be exactly the same, everything has to be a little bit different," Rubio said.
In the city, Luis Perea and his wife have been busy with their Bombon Cafe and Bakery, but they recently opened La Lagartija, a little taqueria on South Ashland. Tacos al pastor are stellar - the vertically-grilled pork comes with grilled pineapple - but the shrimp tacos are the real star. Batter-dipped and fried plump shrimp is nestled onto homemade tortillas - and this element alone makes the tacos superior, since the fresh masa is hand-formed and griddled throughout the day - as for the shrimp tacos, the fried beauties are buried beneath a cabbage slaw that is dressed with both a caper-chile aioli for creaminess.. as well as a ketchup-habanero sauce for heat.
"At the beginning I thought it was going to be overwhelming, but you know when I try it and I see the customers really, really enjoy it, you know, it makes me really, really happy and excited," said Perea.

How Long Does It Take To Register a Trademark?
Protect Your Brand
Instant Results and Analysis. Easy-to-use.
In the United States, the time elapsed from filing a trademark application to the issuance of a registration can be as little as seven months or as long as four years or more. The USPTO takes, on average, a little over ten months to take an average application from filing to the issuance of a registration, notice of abandonment, or notice of allowance. The major variables are:
The filing basis. Applications filed based on only a claim of use in US commerce tend to be processed the most quickly, since the Examining Attorney has all the information necessary to review whether registration is appropriate. Applications filed on an intent-to-use basis are reviewed by the UPSTO are “allowed” after substantive examination and publication for opposition, and the applicant is granted 6-month periods (with up to five extensions available) to amend to claim use. Applications based on foreign filings and applications filed through the Madrid Protocol, an international trademark treaty, have slightly different timelines. Graphics showing timelines for use-based and intent-to-use based applications, courtesy of the USPTO, are shown below.
Whether there are substantive issues. The most common cause for slow-downs are when the Examining Attorney raises substantive issues with the application, included in an “Office Action.” For more information about common examination issues, you can view our guide here.
Oppositions. Opposition proceedings at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board are a form of administrative litigation, complete with the usual pleadings, discovery, briefing, and so forth. Needless to say, none of this is fast. Contested proceedings that are not settled can take years, and even getting decisions on contested motions can take eight weeks or more.
Use-based application timeline
Intent-to-use based application timeline
For up to date figures on trademark prosecution processing, you can visit the USPTO Data Visualization Center’s Trademarks Dashboard; for up to date figures on trademark administrative dispute processing, you can visit the USPTO Data Visualization Center’s TTAB Dashboard.
Internationally, prosecution times can vary widely. In some countries, like Belgium or Denmark, registrations can be obtained in just weeks; in other countries, like Brazil and India, applicants often face considerable delays.

In his speech, Turner argued that BLM “had little concern for rebuilding Black families.”
Rashad Turner, founder of the St. Paul, Minnesota chapter of Black Lives Matter who has since parted ways with the movement, has criticised BLM’s stance on education.
In a video uploaded on YouTube last week, Turner, who now heads the Minnesota Parents Union, said he split from the movement after learning the “ugly truth.”
Turner further claimed that BLM showed it “cared even less about improving the quality of education for students in Minneapolis” by “publicly denounced charter schools alongside the teachers’ union.”
According to the Daily Wire, the video was posted by TakeCharge, a “black-led organisation that rejects critical race theory and woke culture.”

The par_io nodes are statically defined because the we don't support the
concept of moving devices from one UCC to another. When the boards are
designed, typically the external PHYs (UART, Ethernet, whatever) are
hard-wired to a particular UCC, and so its par_io configuration is static.
This works only because there are usually more than enough UCCs for every
device. The 8360, for instance, has 8 UCCs, but the MPC8360EMDS only uses two
of them, for Ethernet.
So having the par_io nodes in the device tree is very convenient, because it
A) Is simple and compact
B) Doesn't require full-blown GPIO support
C) The device drivers can ignore par_io programming - they can just assume
that the pins are configured correctly.
D) It makes it easy for U-Boot and/or Linux to configure the pins.
There are some drawbacks. For instance on UART, in loopback mode, the par_io
pins should be reconfigured. Since loopback mode is a configurable option for
serial drivers, that means that a UCC UART driver (which I'm working on) needs
to be aware of the par_io pins. It would be nice if there were a way I could
tag a par_io node as being for loopback.
