This paper presents the latest result on ongoing numerical simulation research of assembly and post-assembly analysis of MEMS devices. Evolving MEMS technologies, including the use of micro-fabricated hinges and gears, have enabled the fabrication of micro-assembled MEMS devices. Examples of these devices include tilting micromirrors, latching mechanisms, and micromotors. A simulation methodology has been developed that allows a MEMS designer to not only model the assembly process, but also to model the effects of various stimuli on the assembled device. Using these capabilities, a MEMS designer can investigate the necessary actuation forces, interfacing mechanisms, and time constraints for micro-assembly, as well as the performance of the device in its assembled state. These simulations rely on multi-stage non-rigid multi-entity contact analysis, dynamic analysis, and large displacement theory. Results are presented for a developed micromirror examples. The assembly process for the 'pop-up' micromirror mechanism are analyzed. After assembly, the coupled electromechanical actuation behavior will be studied. Changes in structural stress, stiffness, natural frequency, and mirror flatness are calculated and show a marked difference from the unstressed/undeformed shape. The newly developed algorithms allow designers to simulate and look into the details of phenomena often ignored in conventional MEMS design. Recent improvements in simulation methodologies allow micro- assembly analyses and post-assembly analyses of the resulting devices. By enabling micro-assembly and post- assembly analyses, we present the first reported MEMS analysis tool capable of modeling the latching mechanisms and post-latching actuation that frequently control current MEMS devices.

PepsiCo to Invest $180 Million in Mega-Fulfillment Center in Osceola County
24 Aug, 2021
Project Will Create 180 Full-Time Jobs
PepsiCo today announced its $180 million investment in a 355,000 square-foot mega-fulfillment center that will create 180 full-time jobs in the area.
Located at Poinciana Boulevard and conveniently near the SunRail Line, the project includes advanced technologies allowing PepsiCo to serve both retail and eCommerce customers with customized product portfolios. This project is the first-of-its-kind in Florida and provides continued growth in Osceola County and the surrounding communities.
PepsiCo and its operating businesses employ more than 7,600 associates across Florida and this location will add to PepsiCo’s existing footprint in Osceola County beyond its existing Gatorade beverage plant in Kissimmee, Fla. Construction will begin in early 2022 and the site will be operational by early 2024. Hiring for the new jobs will begin in late 2023 with start-up anticipated in 2024.
“This is fantastic news and great timing for the residents of Osceola County,” said Osceola County Commission Chairman Brandon Arrington. “Opportunities like this don’t happen every day, but the creation of 180 new jobs is something needed for our residents – many who are struggling to find employment in the wake of the chaos created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company’s commitment to Osceola County is commendable and this project will allow our residents to get a step into these much-needed jobs.”
Osceola County is supporting this effort with an Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Refund provided the project has invested the $180 million and created 180 full-time jobs and will retain the jobs for ten years.
“PepsiCo has a strong presence in Florida and is a proud member of the Osceola County community,” said PepsiCo Senior Director, Economic Development, Kathy Alfano. “We appreciate the assistance and support of Osceola County as they have been instrumental to this project.”
PepsiCo products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. PepsiCo generated more than $70 billion in net revenue in 2020, driven by a complementary food and beverage portfolio that includes Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Quaker, Tropicana and SodaStream. PepsiCo’s product portfolio includes a wide range of enjoyable foods and beverages, including 23 brands that generate more than $1 billion each in estimated annual retail sales.
Guiding PepsiCo is our vision to Be the Global Leader in Convenient Foods and Beverages by Winning with Purpose. “Winning with Purpose” reflects our ambition to win sustainably in the marketplace and embed purpose into all aspects of our business strategy and brands.

Part I. Deterministic correction algorithm
Polimery 2008, No 9, 670
An algorithmic method of supervision of injection molding process of thermoplastics was elaborated (Fig. 1 and 2). It consists in sequential multistage compensation of forecasted molding quality deviations, caused by disturbances of slow-speed variable parameters supervising the process, by immediate change of quick controllable variables during the same injection molding cycle (Fig. 3 and 4). Both the prediction and process correction is performed in the real-time mode (during the same cycle) so the probability of defective products' manufacturing is limited. One of alternative correction algorithms was tested: deterministic one based on empirical regression models of supervised characteristics of molding quality (here: its length-wise dimension).This algorithm was applied to the supervision of injection molding of PE-LD normalized molding. Empirical revision showed the high efficiency of algorithm designed as the distribution of molding shrinkage was reduced twice (Fig. 5).
Key words: injection molding of thermoplastics, deterministic correction algorithms, length deviation

Understanding the life cycle of a plant is one of the basic foundations of biology and the life sciences. For young children, learning how a simple seed grows into a great tree is amazing and somewhat mysterious. Explaining to kids how a plant grows can be very simple when you break the subject down into its parts.
A plant begins as a simple seed. Inside the seed are all of the parts of the future plant, dormant in their immature form. There is an immature root, stem and small leaves. When planted in the ground, the seed will germinate and begin to grow. The tiny root will work its way down as the tiny stem works its way up.
The small plant that first makes its appearance is the seeding. It has a small, vulnerable stem with a few small leaves. With sunlight and water, this seeding will grow larger and more mature. The stem and root will grow longer, and new leaves will appear on the plant.
When the plant reaches maturity, flowers will form. The flower is different for each plant, yet all contain the same basic parts. Most flowers use color and scent to attract insects to help them pollinate. Once pollinated, the flowers will begin developing seeds. Some plants protect the seeds inside a fruit that houses the seeds until they are ready.
Releasing New Seeds
When the new seeds are ready, they will be released back out into nature. For some plants, this means dropping fruit onto the ground to rot or be eaten by animals. Other plants release their seeds in unique ways, such as being blown by wind or by sticking to animal fur.
At this point the cycle begins again, with a small seed finding its way into the ground. This seed will sprout and grow into a new plant that looks exactly like its parent plant. When this seed begins to grow, the cycle will start over again.

This weekend, the City Girls rapper apparently took to Instagram to post a photo of herself and a man vacationing on an unknown beach. While it’s unclear if it is Diddy underneath that cabana, according to HotNewHipHop, Miami reportedly changing the caption from “real pretty and sadity” to “real pretty and sadiddy” might be a good indicator of who she was spending time with.
Theories of a romance between the two have been ongoing, with Miami even namedropping Diddy in her new song “Rap Freaks:” “Took a jet to a private island on a date with Diddy/I like bad boys, no ho shit/Diddy, let me put it in your face like them roaches/And put your rich ass to sleep, buenas noches.”
Back in August, the pair were spotted cozying up together in a video, where Miami can be seen sitting in Diddy’s lap while sipping from a bottle of what looks to be his tequila brand, DeLeón. And fans went crazy in June when Miami fueled speculation about her dating life after posting a series of photos that ended with a pic of her and Diddy holding hands.
Miami shares her daughter Summer with Southside and has a son, Jai Malik Wiggins Jr. who was born before she formed City Girls with JT. Miami also previously dated Kodak Black, whom she broke up with before his time in prison.

Science has just given one more twist to the issue of male infertility by achieving a challenge that has been pursued since the 1970s. Once again, reality is stranger than fiction because scientists have succeeded create sperm in the laboratory using a cultivation method.
Thanks to this discovery, which has been achieved so far only with mice, to be a father in a few years it will not be essential to have fertile sperm. It will be enough with a microscopic testicle sample and a sophisticated culture technique to artificially mature in the laboratory the cells of this tissue until they become sperm ready to fertilize.
This discovery developed by a team from the University of Yokohama, in Japan, and published in the magazine Nature it opens up a new field of possibilities for all mammals. On the one hand, biologists will have the possibility to stop the disappearance of certain endangered species and when, later, this technique can be applied to the human race could work as an insurance policy of fertility against the fear that, at some point in life, there would be damage to the male's testicles. And it is that, for example, today freezing techniques allow men diagnosed with a tumor to freeze sperm before starting chemo and radiotherapy, but in children who have not yet reached puberty this possibility does not exist. However, if the new technique works, the possibility of biopsy the testicle, taking a tissue sample before starting cancer treatment, and thus preserving its fertility, could be considered. Therefore, children with cancer and adult men with progressive sperm loss would be the main beneficiaries. The production of sperm in mammals is a long and complex process that is difficult to reproduce outside of nature. It takes 50 days for sperm precursor cells (spermatogonia) to become fertile sperm inside that natural laboratory that is the testes. Japanese scientists have succeeded in mimicking these same conditions and have succeeded in turning the spermatogonia cells into spermatocytes, and then into spermatids until they reach the state of sperm. The entire process took 42 days, almost the same time nature takes. The rodent pups were born healthy and, most importantly, they are fertile, as no abnormalities have been detected in their development or reproduction phases. At the moment, they are the first steps in an investigation that promises to be long until it is tested with guarantees in humans. Marisol New.

A former MS-13 gang member testifying Monday against his former associate on trial for allegations that the associate was the getaway driver in a 2017 Central Islip deli killing said the defendant could have simply told gang leadership he didn't want to participate in the slaying because he had no "responsibility" to the gang.
"If he didn't want to do it, he could have refused, and that is it," said Kevin Cifuentes, the government's star cooperating witness, while under cross-examination Monday. Cifuentes earlier in the trial had said that when the gang's leadership in El Salvador learned of the intended slaying, they insisted it be done without specifying who should do it.
Cifuentes, 25, a former Brentwood resident currently incarcerated for his role in the deli killing, has been testifying at the federal murder trial of Jose Suarez, 24, formerly of Central Islip. Cifuentes has pleaded guilty to the crime and under his cooperation agreement could face anywhere from 10 years to life imprisonment, according to testimony.
Suarez, alleged by prosecutors to be an associate of MS-13, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he drove the getaway car from the El Campesino deli, where suspected rival gang member Esteban Alvarado-Bonilla was fatally shot by MS-13 gang member Mario Aguilar-Lopez on Jan. 30, 2017. Suarez is also charged with conspiracy in an alleged gang-related beating at a taco restaurant in 2016 in a dispute over a woman and for selling marijuana and cocaine for MS-13.
Aguilar-Lopez has pleaded guilty to being the shooter in Alvarado-Bonilla’s murder and is awaiting sentencing.
Cifuentes, testifying for the fourth day in the trial, told Suarez's defense attorney Raymond L. Colon that "MS-13 doesn't force anybody whatsoever" to commit violence.
Colon, attempting to show his client was not an associate of the gang and would have been killed by MS-13 if he had not agreed to drive the vehicle, asked Cifuentes what made Suarez exempt from MS-13 violence.
“Because he had no responsibility to MS-13,” said Cifuentes.
Colon asked: “Because he wasn’t an associate?”
Cifuentes replied that Suarez was, in fact, an MS-13 associate and explained that there’s a difference between being an associate and having a rank in the gang.
Colon then presented Cifuentes with a list of gang members and their ranks seized through a government search warrant from the home of alleged MS-13 gang leaders Alexi Saenz, known as “Blasty,” and his brother Jairo Saenz, known as “Funny.”
The Saenz brothers, accused by prosecutors of being the leaders of Brentwood’s MS-13 Sailors clique, have been indicted in the September 2016 killings of Kayla Cuevas, 16, and Nisa Mickens, 15, as well as several other MS-13 related killings.
“Do you see the name Jose Suarez on that list?” Colon asked.
“No,” said Cifuentes.
“Chómpiras?” asked Colon, referring to his client’s alleged gang nickname, a nod to a comedian.
“No,” said Cifuentes.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Raymond Tierney, on redirect, pointed out through his questions to Cifuentes that many of the gang’s associates were not on the list.
Tierney also asked Cifuentes about the many crimes that Suarez had seen or heard about the MS-13 gang members committing, yet continued to hang out with them.
On the day of the killing, Cifuentes said he tried three times to stop Suarez from participating.
“But he made his choices, the same way I made mine,” said Cifuentes.
Colon, speaking after the proceeding ended Monday, said: “Mere presence is not evidence of criminality or intent. And the witness knows everyone is under the threat of serious bodily injury or death if he resisted. It’s difficult to walk away when you’ve seen too much or know too much.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham said President Barack Obama’s plan to prevent American from going over the fiscal cliff is “a joke.”
“I think we’re going over the cliff,” the South Carolina Republican said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s pretty clear to me they’ve made a political calculation. This offer doesn’t remotely deal with entitlement reform in a way to save Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security from imminent bankruptcy.”
Graham said he supports limiting federal income-tax deductions as a way to increase government revenues and said if the deductions are targeted correctly, they will raise between $700 and $800 billion in 10 years. He said Obama’s plan to hike tax rates on the wealthy will produce $400 billion during that period and will hurt job creation.

“My side knows we lost the election, and we’re willing to put revenue on the table that will get some political heat for people like me,” Graham said. “That is movement in a positive way. The president’s plan does nothing but damn us to becoming Greece.”
Regarding the appointment of Susan Rice as secretary of state following her controversial remarks about the deadly Benghazi attack, Graham said he finds Rice “lacking” competence to handle such a job.
“I think her story on 16 September was a political story designed to help the president three weeks before the election, and she should be held accountable for that,” he said.

CD Review of Rheinmädchen (Raphaël Pichon, Ensemble Pygmalion)
This excellent new CD, performed by Raphaël Pichon and the Ensemble Pygmalion, takes us on a journey along the Rhine by exploring depictions of Rhine Maidens in the works of Wagner, Brahms, Schumann, and Schubert. In doing so, Pichon shows that Wagner’s portrayal of the Rhine Maidens was part of a longer tradition that Wagner shared in common with other German Romantic composers.
The Rhine is the second-largest river in Central and Western Europe, and begins in the Swiss Alps and flows for about 865 miles (1,390 km) before entering the North Sea. Throughout its history, the Rhine has served as a means of commercial transportation, a source of electricity, a political and cultural boundary, and a site for tourism. During the nineteenth century, in response to the threat of French invasion, the Rhine acted as a powerful symbol of cultural and political identity for early German nationalists, most famously in Max Schneckenburger’s 1840 poem “Die Wacht am Rhein” (The Watch on the Rhine). Around the same time, the figure of the Rhine Maiden became increasingly popular in German Romantic literature and music. According to the Rhine Maiden legend, a young fisherman’s daughter, betrayed by her lover, was transformed into a mermaid who sits on the banks of the Rhine and sings to the passing sailors, luring them to their death. As the musicologist Annegret Fauser explains, the Rhine Maiden was interpreted as an embodiment of the Rhine Valley and the German landscape in general, protecting the Rhine from foreign invasion (Fauser 2006).
I had not heard of Raphaël Pichon and the Ensemble Pygmalion before listening to this recording. Born and trained in France, the 32-year-old Pichon began his career as a countertenor, singing with such greats as Jordi Savall, Gustav Leonhardt, and Ton Koopman. Simultaneously a conductor, Pichon founded the chamber choir OTrente and a period-instrument orchestra. In 2005, he founded the Ensemble Pygmalion, a choir and orchestra of young musicians specializing in repertoire for period instruments. Since that time, he and his ensemble have performed around the globe and produced award-winning recordings of Bach and Rameau. The current album (Rheinmädchen) is the first part of a trilogy exploring the role of canon in 19th- and 20th-century German music. (A canon is a strict type of counterpoint in which a melody in one voice is imitated note for note in another voice.) The works featured on this album are canons for female voices, at times also accompanied by harp and natural horn. In contrast to the modern-day valve horn, the natural horn has a softer and warmer sound. (Listen to this clip of Anneke Scott playing Siegfried’s horn call on a natural horn.)
What I find most exciting about this album is the imaginative programming. Each work presents the figure of the Rhine Maiden in a slightly different way. Pichon divides the CD into six parts: Morpheus’ Daughters, Mermaids, Serenade, Mourning Women, Love’s Grief, and Rhine Maidens. The CD liner notes quote the famous passage from Wagner’s My Life describing how Rheingold’s prelude came to him in a dream of sinking in water. In other words, the Rhine Maidens are the “daughters” of his dream, and the rest of the works included in this section are about sleeping and dreaming – for example, Schumann’s “Wiegenlied” (Lullaby), op. 78/4. The second section (“Mermaids”) begins with Schumann’s setting of a text by Eichendorff about a mermaid whose singing causes sailors to capsize their boats and drown. This depiction of the mermaid as enchantress is then juxtaposed with the Christian imagery of death and salvation in Schubert’s setting of Psalm 23 (“The Lord Is My Shephard”). The final section combines the Rhine Maidens’ song from Götterdämmerung (“Frau Sonne sendet lichte Strahlen”) with Brahms’s Four Songs, op. 17. Not only does Brahms use a similar scoring – female voices, harp, and horn – his songs recapitulate many of the same themes found in Wagner: lamentation, longing for the past, and hope for salvation.

My favorite work on this CD is the Prelude to Rheingold, here arranged for twenty-four female voices, harp, four horns, and two contrabasses. The form of the Prelude is theme and variations, the theme being a canon in eight parts (0:35, see above). From this theme are derived a number of ostinatos (repeating melodic and rhythmic figures), each longer than the previous. With each successive variation, Wagner adds additional layers of ostinatos, superimposing them on each other (see Warren Darcy’s outstanding 1989 article on the Rheingold Prelude.) The rippling string lines of the original are performed here by the harp, an instrument commonly associated with the Rhine Maiden. The woodwind and upper brass parts are sung by a female chorus, suggesting that the Rhine Maidens embody the river itself. That is, the landscape and the Rhine Maidens are one and the same. As the dynamics get louder and the texture becomes increasingly dense, the listener experiences a strong feeling of disorientation and intoxication (3:43), akin to the effect of Rhine Maidens on a sailor.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this imaginative concept album. Like the sailors described in the Rhine Maiden legend, I was completely enchanted by this magical music. I am very much looking forward to the future parts of this trilogy.

On October 31, 1975, "Queen" released one of the greatest songs in the history of music - "Bohemian Rhapsody".
(Photo: Still From 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Music Video)
Here are some interesting facts about the iconic song:
1. Freddie Mercury began writing The song in the late 60's. The name he gave it during the writing process was - "The Cowboy Song".
2. He also wrote all the roles of the various instruments for the song. The piano, bass, drums, and even the guitar.
3. The recordings lasted about three weeks and were held in August and September 1975. During the recordings, the band used no less than four different studios.
4. The vocal harmonies were the hardest to record, the band members testified that they would sometimes repeat the vocal parts for 10-12 hours a day.
5. The recording of musical instruments also took a long time and included a large number of channel uploads. The song had layers upon layers of musical and vocal channels, some say there were about 180 different overdubs to create the wonderful harmonies and rich sound.
7. Despite the length of the song (about 6 minutes) and despite the record company's opposition to its release as a single, the song was very successful on radio stations and reached number one on various charts around the world.
8. Very ironically, the song with the title "Mama Mia" by "ABBA", managed to knock "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the top of the British chart.
9. The word "Scaramouche" in the song, refers to a clown in Italian literature.
10. The word "Beelzebub" in the poem, is attributed in Christian literature to the devil.
11. The word "Galileo" Mercury used in the song was a tribute to guitarist Brian May who is a doctor of astrophysics.
12. The name "Figaro" appeared in Rossini's opera "The Barber of Seville".
13. The word "Bismillah" is the first word in the Qur'an.
14. The famous video for the song was the band's first ever. It was created because the band did not want to appear on the British TV show "Top Of The Pops" live, since the song was too complex to perform live.
15. The video clip for the song was based on the "Queen II" album cover.
16. The "Queen II" album cover was based on the famous photograph of Marlene Dietrich.
17. The director of the clip was Bruce Gowers, it took him 3 hours to film it for 3,500 Pound.
18. Freddie Mercury noted that the song "In the Lap of the Gods" from the album "Sheer Heart Attack" is the prologue to the song "Bohemian Rhapsody".
19. Following the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991 the song was released again as a single and this time too it reached number one in the music charts.
20. The song returned to the charts a year later following its inclusion in the soundtrack of the movie "Wayne's World" from 1992. This time it jumped straight to second place on Billboard.

21. The song reached the top of the charts for the fourth time in 2018, following the success of the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody".
22. In 2002 the song was voted in the "Guinness Book of World Records survey" as the first of all the singles released in the UK ever. John Lennon's "Imagine" and the Beatles' "Hey Jude" came in second and third.
23. In 2012 the song was selected at the top of the list of songs with "The Best Vocal Performance in Rock" by "Rolling Stone magazine".
24. It also ranks 166th on the same magazine's "500 greatest songs" of all time list.
25. In 2000 it was selected in England, Israel, and other places in the world, as the Millennium song.

High visibility cycling accessory company Proviz have launched a collection of light-emitting cycling products called Nightrider.
The products are all designed to be worn with a Triviz attached. What’s a Triviz? Hold your horses, we’re coming to that… It’s a battery-powered light-emitting warning triangle that can be swapped between the different products in the range.
This flexibility means you can choose which accessory or item of clothing you want be to be illuminated. So, if one day you need to carry some luggage, the Triviz can be attached to the Proviz rucksack. If the next day you want to ride without a bag, then the Triviz can be attached to a Proviz jacket instead.
It is fixed in place each time with extra strength Velcro. When the Triviz isn’t in use, a silver reflective triangle is attached to the product instead.
The Triviz is made using the same electroluminescent technology as existing products in the Proviz line-up. The electroluminescent strips around the outside of the Triviz create a flashing or constant blue light source to make you stand out in traffic.
The Triviz retails separately at £34.99. It comes with the USB lead you need for recharging.
The Triviz is compatible with cycling jackets in fluorescent yellow, pink and black (£59.99), large fluorescent yellow and black rucksacks (£39.99) and smaller rucksacks (£29.99), fluorescent yellow messenger bags (£44.99), fluorescent yellow rucksack covers (£23.49), and orange vests (£23.49).
“We have made some significant changes to the way our lighting system works as a result of listening to the feedback from our retailers,” said Proviz Managing Director Rupert Langly-Smith. “The highly distinguishable electric-blue colour emitted by the Triviz light pack will make you highly visible in all circumstances.”

Does anyone remember what the civil rights movement was about?
Not today. Four decades later, it is "controversial" if not "racist" to recall that the civil rights movement was about equal opportunity.
People were to be hired on the basis of merit and ability alone—"the best person for the job". No other factor was to play a role.
The ink was hardly dry on the 1964 Civil Rights Act before an EEOC bureaucrat, Alfred W. Blumrosen, illegally and unconstitutionally subverted the statutory purpose of the law. Judicial complicity and congressional distraction enabled Blumrosen to redefine discrimination from a purposeful action against an individual to the absence of proportional representation regardless of discriminatory intent.
Racial quotas are so firmly entrenched that quotas prevail even in states where federal district courts have ruled against them and referendums have made them illegal.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act has been illegally enforced for 37 years. The result is a massive system of race and gender discrimination against white males in order to achieve proportional representation of racial minorities and women.
Now comes an astonishing report from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management: "Annual Report to Congress, Federal Equal Opportunity Recruitment Program, Fiscal Year 2000," released in April 2002. [You can read it on Adversity.net, an anti-preference organization that fights for victims of reverse discrimination, with analysis and comment. The original government version may be found here.]
This report to Congress makes brutally clear that despite the "equal opportunity" name of the program, the purpose of the federal program is to make certain there is no equal opportunity for whites in federal employment.
The report uses tables and bar charts to make unmistakably clear that federal discrimination against whites goes far beyond merely achieving proportional representation for blacks. In all 22 independent federal agencies and in 16 of 17 federal executive departments, blacks are massively overrepresented.
In the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (sic) blacks comprise 46.4 percent of the employees. The "affirmative action" or racial quota target for proportional representation (percent in Relevant Civilian Labor Force) for the EEOC is 6.4 percent black employees.
Blacks are thus overrepresented in EEOC employment by 625 percent!
And the EEOC is the federal agency that is supposed to enforce equal employment opportunity.
Blacks are overrepresented in the National Science Foundation by 504.7 %; in the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. by 538.7 %; in the Securities and Exchange Commission by 452.1%; in the Smithsonian Institution by 452.1%, in the Federal Communications Commission by 370.1%; in the Social Security Administration by 263.5%; in the Commodity Futures Trading Commission by 375%; in the Office of Personnel Management by 286.7%; and so on.
In cabinet departments, blacks are overrepresented in Department of Education employment by 464.7%; in Department of Labor by 254%; in HUD by 383%; in Treasury by 176%; in Department of Justice by 106%; in Department of State by 165%; and so on.
The push is now on in the federal government to achieve comparable overrepresentation for Hispanics and females.
If these two "minorities" achieve similar overrepresentation, there will be no room for white males in the federal government.
Did you know that the federal government pays its managers "superbonuses" for hiring, training, and promoting nonwhites? According to a lawsuit filed against the Secretary of Energy by DOE employees, a DOE boss, Anibal Taboas, staffed the Argonne National Laboratory with minorities, while reassigning white males to dead end jobs where they could be terminated under reduction in force polices.
For this achievement, the lawsuit says Mr. Taboas received thousands of dollars in bonuses.
Note that no one in the government intervenes in behalf of white males who suffer discrimination, not President Bush, no congressional committee chairman, certainly not the Justice Department or the EEOC.
Today in the United States white people have no political representation. Whites have to struggle in the courts against government opposition to claim any resemblance to equal rights.
Explicit government policies have made whites second class citizens. Whites are a dispossessed majority in their own country.
Why did the white majority allow themselves to be stripped of the equal protection clause of the Constitution? Why do whites remain loyal to the political parties that took away their rights?
What is the future for whites in a political system where both political parties pander to third world immigrants and support racial privileges for minorities? Having lost equal protection of law, what will whites lose next?

The combined efforts of several law enforcement agencies led to the arrests last week of two Gadsden men on a multitude of charges, according to the Glencoe Police Department Facebook page.
Marqualin Deshun Sumpter, 21, and Bryan Keana Gauthier, 20, were both arrested on March 7, according to Police Chief Tim Diggs.
The charges are a result of the investigation of numerous vehicle break-ins and burglaries that occurred in Glencoe, Gadsden and the Tillison Bend community. Some property was recovered and returned to the owners.
Sumpter has been charged with five counts of first-degree receiving stolen property and two misdemeanor receiving stolen property charges, according to the Etowah County Detention Center inmate roster. He was released on bond March 14.
Gauthier has been charged with five counts of first-degree receiving stolen property, three counts of unlawful breaking and entering of a vehicle, two counts of second-degree theft, two counts of third-degree theft, one count of illegal possession of a credit/debit card and one count of first-degree robbery, according to the Etowah County Detention Center inmate roster. He remains in jail; bond has not been set.
Diggs said the Glencoe charges stem from vehicle burglaries that occurred from late January through mid-February.
The burglars seemed to be taking whatever was accessible in the vehicles they hit, which had been left unlocked, Diggs said.

- Honorary Degree (1975)
- Doctor of Laws
- Bloomington, Indiana
- Presenter: John William Ryan
Sister Jeanne Knoerle assumed the office of presidency of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Terre Haute in 1968 after having been a member of that faculty for about ten years. It was the logical reward and challenge for a woman who had distinguished herself as scholar, administrator, and above all, as a humanist. After receiving her B.A. from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, she came to Indiana University where she took a Master's degree in Journalism in 1961. Between 1963 and 1966, she was the recipient of an Indiana University Fellowship and a Non-Western Studies Project Fellowship. In 1966 she was awarded the Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. Her special interest in Asian literature led her, in the same year, to the Far East, where she served as a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at Providence College in Taichung, Taiwan. In 1972 she wrote a critical study of the eighteenth-century classic, The Dream of the Red Chamber, which deals with the plight of a young woman's struggle for survival in a closed and repressive society. In addition, she has published regularly in important journals on subjects as diverse as Horace's Ars Poetica, the poetic theories of Lu-Chi, Ezra Pound and Chinese literature, and the place of women in Chinese society.
Sister Jeanne Knoerle has served as board member of the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, as President of the Indiana Conference of Higher Education, as member of the Executive Committee of the National Catholic Educational Association, and on numerous national, state, and local committees. At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, she initiated a number of new curricula, among them the highly successful Women's External Degree Program.
Sister Jeanne Knoerle's concern with the "essential femininity" is thoroughly in the spirit of enlightened involvement with the role of women today. In her inaugural speech in 1968 she maintains that the education of the modern woman, aiming for an integrated personality, "should differ not at all from that given to men with whom she goes to school and with whom she will work, a truism women have had to fight for over the last century .... The fight has led us of necessity to a bid for one equality which, in effect, has forced femininity to be made equal to masculinity to be recognized at all." In her eloquent way, Sister Jeanne Knoerle confronts the per-plexities of the young woman - or man - of our generation and offers us not facile traditional answers but acknowledges both difficulties and possible resolutions. Her scholarly endeavors and her pedagogical commitment, sustained by persistence and enthusiasm, envision a more humane future.
Her international interests are apparent in the organizations to which she belongs - the Asia Society, the Association for Asian Studies, and the American Society for Eastern Arts. Sister Jeanne is listed in Leaders in Education, as well as in Who's Who of American Women, Who's Who Among Authors and Journalists, and Who's Who in Religion.

Jamie’s Baby Shower Invitation: Woodland Creatures
The theme for Jamie’s baby shower had been decided to match the nursery for baby Owen: woodland creatures. And when Jamie posted a photo of this little fox plush from Sleepy King on Etsy,** that she had purchased for the nursery, I was inspired to match the invitation to the same look and feel. The color palette was pretty open, natural earth tones. I’ve always loved Jamie’s taste and was excited to create a shower invitation that was unique to her.
The shower itself, you can see Jessica’s post about it on her blog, was the most adorable shower I have ever been to. Everything was detailed to match the theme down to the food which included acorn cookies and little fox chow. So so cute!
Jessica also asked me to make a little print with Owen’s name on it for Jamie to keep after the shower as well! And you can see in this photo the wood and other stuffed animals Jessica used to decorate. Again, it was all just so cute!
Little Owen was welcomed into the Chapin family already 7 weeks ago (I am so behind in posting this!!) and he’s just as cute as I pictured him to be! So I can’t help but show a photo of the little man from this past weekend, napping away in my arms.
Aww so cute!! Make sure to check out Jessica’s post of Jamie and Owen’s full shower!

The health and wellness of people in our communities depends on strong partnerships and coordinated and accessible services and programs. In cities and towns across Canada, Community Health Centres (CHCs) operate to help make this a reality. They strive to offer accessible and inclusive healthcare for all members of the community. The focus is on keeping people – particularly those who have barriers to accessing health services – in good health.
There are approximately 100 CHCs across Ontario, including Rideau Community Health Services (RCHS). We offer high-quality primary care through a collaborative, team-based approach. Family physicians, nurse practitioners, dietitians, social workers, and other health professionals all work together to provide full-service healthcare to clients.
We recognize that wellness and education are key – we aim to give you the information, tools and support you need to help prevent potential illness, and to improve your overall health.
RCHS identifies barriers to health, including social and economic influences like income, housing, transportation, and employment, so that we can offer our clients a full spectrum of support in an effort to reduce illness, and improve overall health and well being.
CHC’s, including RCHS are unique in that we respond and adapt to local needs so that our programs and services are based on real needs and priorities in the community. For example, in our region, there are dental health clinics, diabetes clinics, mental health supports and smoking cessation programs, to name a few. RCHS’s health promotion strategy is developed by engaging the communities we serve to identify gaps and develop programming to help bridge those gaps to support better health. This targeted approach to healthcare is one of the biggest benefits of Community Health Centres in meeting the specific needs of communities and individuals.
We remain committed to building a strong collaborative community of care that is focused on equity, empathy and respect for all.

To the problem of thrombus-hemorrhagic complications in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasias. Complicated diagnosis.Clinical case conferenceJournal: Medicni perspektivi (Vol.20, No. 3)
Publication Date: 2015-09-23
Authors : Nikolayenko-Kamyshova T.P.;
Page : 144-147
Keywords : chronic myeloproliferative disorders; thrombus-hemorrhagic complications;
Disturbances in the system of he?mostasis and vascular complications is the topical clinical problem, requiring profound study with the development of treatment and prophylaxis algorithm. Thrombus-hemorrhagic complications in patients with chronic myeloproliferative (CMPN) neoplasias are caused by the presence of plethoric and myeloproliferative syndromes, findings of hemogram (level of erythrocytes, thrombocytes, leukocytes, hematocrit index) and hemostasiogram testify to this. A case of thrombus-hemorrhagic complication in a female patient with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia was considered. Carrying out differential diagnostics requires performing additional investigations: USI, CT with defining of hemostasiogram, hemogram findings, their thorough monitoring when surgical intervention is needed. This diagnosis for the first time was made in conditions of surgical in ? patient unit. In pre- and postoperative periods as well as for prevention of vascular complicatients in the patient with CMPN it is necessary to mandarory administer agents which correct hematologic status and rheologic indices. This clinical case was analyzed with the aim to draw doctors’ aftention to complexities in diagnostics and defining treatment tactics for patients with thrombus-hemorrhagic complications: necessity to establish all possible risk factors of vascular events development and to carry out constant hemostasiologic menitoring for preventing lethal outcomes.

Rheumatic diseases : report of a WHO scientific group [meeting held in Geneva from 26 to 30 June 1989]
Other TitlesMaladies rhumatismales : rapport d' un groupe scientifique de l' OMS [réuni à Genàve du 26 au 30 juin 1989]
Enfermedades reumáticas : informe de un grupo científico de la OMS [se reunió en Ginebra del 26 al 30 de junio de 1989]
AbstractSummarizes what is known about the epidemiology, causes, clinical features, management and prognosis of ten rheumatic diseases selected because of their public health importance. In view of the complexity of these diseases, the book makes a special effort to define the areas where clear conclusions can be reached and to point out the lines of research most likely to yield improved tools for detection, treatment, and prevention. While noting significant recent advances in the areas of genetics, immunology, pharmacology, and connective tissue biochemistry, the report emphasizes the urgent need for more data on the epidemiology of these diseases and on the role of risk factors, whether of genetic origin or related to lifestyle and behaviour. The opening section alerts readers to changing patterns of morbidity and mortality, in both developed and developing countries, linked to such trends as increasing life expectancy, rapid growth of urban populations, and changes in lifestyle and behaviour. In the industrialized world, these diseases are noted to be responsible for more pain and disability than any other group of conditions. A section devoted to educational programmes stresses the need to correct a number of popular assumptions held by both the general public and health professionals. Because treatment of these multisystem diseases is often fragmented among many specialists, the report stresses the need to train physicians to recognize early symptoms of disease, be aware of advances in treatment and rehabilitation, and advise patients about avoidable factors that may aggravate or precipitate disease. Concerning education of the general public, the report notes that recent advances in treatment and rehabilitation call for revision of the generally pessimistic attitudes about these diseases. Other sections discuss the socioeconomic impact of rheumatic diseases and summarize what is known about the involvement of genetic factors. The main part of the report consists of separate sections devoted to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjgren syndrome, Lyme disease, the spondyloarthropathies, low back pain, osteoarthritis, soft-tissue rheumatism, and gout. For each disease or syndrome, the report assesses current data on prevalence, causes, pathophysiology, clinical features, methods of detection, treatment, and prognosis. Observations range from the need to establish national registries for Lyme disease, through the reasons why radiographs cannot detect pathological changes in osteoarthritis, to the simple fact that very few patients with low back pain have a valid, scientifically proven diagnosis.

We are just getting back into the swing of things after Christmas break. The kids just started back to school, which means homework and easy after school snacks. This Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar recipe is super easy to make, and it’s a quick and easy after school snack for kids to enjoy while they are working on their homework. Or put the homework off for a bit and enjoy a chocolate peanut butter bar with a glass of milk or Sparkling Ice Grape Raspberry while you discuss their day.
You can pick up all the ingredients needed for these chocolate peanut butter bars at any of the Kroger family stores.
The Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar only has ten ingredients and takes less than 30 minutes to make!
Ingredient List for Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup Peter Pan crunchy or creamy peanut butter (this is all about preference of taste and if you want a smooth or crunchy texture).
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 bag milk chocolate chips (12 ounces)
- Pecan halves, crushed (I use about 3 ounces) *optional*
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees
- Grease 9×13 inch pan
- In large bowl mix vanilla, brown sugar, sugar, butter and Peter Pan Peanut Butter for about 3 minutes or until creamy.
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl and then beat into the peanut butter mixture along with the eggs.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and set rest aside.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top, is light golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack to cool.
- Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then spread evenly on top. Then sprinkle with pecans and drizzle with melted peanut butter, if desired.
- Allow to cool completely then cut into bars and enjoy with milk or a glass of the new Sparkling Ice Grape Raspberry Drink that is now available at Kroger!
I love being able to add something like Peter Pan Peanut Butter (in either Peter Pan Originals, Peter Pan Naturals or Peter Pan simply ground) to my snacks for the kids to make sure they are getting protein. It’s not always easy to get them to eat the protein they need, so adding it into snacks is an easy way to do that. This time I used the original Peter Pan because it’s a great value and a brand I know and love. However, I will often find myself picking up Peter Pan Naturals because of it being 100% Natural, 100% Delicious. Non-GMO Project verified and made with Sustainable Palm Oil. No matter which I choose, I am never disappointed.
I love that this Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar recipe is easy and it tastes pretty close to one of their favorite candy treats, so they love it. You can get creative with these peanut butter bars and change out the pecans for walnuts, or drizzle it with melted peanut butter like I did above. Another quick idea that requires no recipe is to open up a can of Chef Boyardee and enjoy a less sweet treat in the afternoons! Whether you go for it or these delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, you won’t be let down, and you can enjoy some tasty (and quick) back to school eats!
Before you stock up be sure to check out the savings going on:
- $0.80 off 4 or $2.50 off 10 cans of Chef Boyardee
- $0.60 off 3 Snack Pack
- $1.00 off 1 Snack Pack Naturals

LONDON (CBS.MW) - U.S. bellwether tech stocks were warming to a bounce off sharp lows in overnight trading on Monday as the worst of the 'blue Monday' fears dissipated.
A steady flow of better-than-expected quarterly profits boosted sentiment with 3M MMM, +0.73%, Lexmark International LXK, Lear Corp. LEA, -1.33% and Check Point Software CHKP, +0.66% delivering vs. analyst estimates.
That said, some key trend-setting stocks remained below Friday's close. The WorldCom bankruptcy filing -- while widely telegraphed -- likely weighed on sentiment. Light volumes revealed little support for the mid-morning bounce in London in any case.
Nasdaq and S&P Futures were leaning toward the downside as of 9 a.m. Eastern; the Dow Industrials futures remained down, but well ahead of an earlier drop that had pointed to another 100-point down day.
European markets trimmed its losses as the markets factor in a big profits warning from Dutch insurer Aegon AEG, +1.59%. It's increasing reserves to counter falling markets and the weaker dollar. Aegon dropped 15 percent. See more on warning.
The London and French key indices were down around 1.5 percent; the German market was down 2.7 percent. The Nasdaq 100 stocks tracker QQQ, +0.19% was last down 0.2 percent at $23.94 on Instinet -- as players positioned for a slightly better open in New York.
The dollar was steady. The euro was around $1.01 - barely moved.
Shares of Amgen AMGN, -0.74% surged $1.54, or 4.3 percent, to $37 after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the biotech firm's Aranesp for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced anemia.
On the downside, Williams WMB, +1.08% slid 48 cents, or 9.3 percent, to $4.68 over the Redibook ECN after the energy merchant warned that it would report a second quarter loss, before one-time items, versus expectations of a profit due primarily conditions affecting its marketing and risk management business, and "significantly" cut its quarterly stock dividend.
A little less sour
The market's mood was deeply sour heading into European trade as WorldCom readies its bankruptcy filing - the largest in the U.S. A newspaper report on Sunday over aggressive accounting socked U.K. advertising-media stock WPP Group (WPP). WPP denied accounting irregularities.
In the U.S., concerns over the direction of Congressional probes into Enron bankers including Citigroup C, +0.54% and JP Morgan Chase JPM, +0.26% were coming to the fore. The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal were parsing discoveries to date, citing company memos and sources.
The Post said that in the year before its bankruptcy filing, JPM, Citigroup Inc and other banks transferred more than $5 billion to Enron using complex transactions that were labeled as energy trades.
Citigroup shares were "walked down" to $34.75 from a $36 close in the overnight on the reports, dealers in London said. The stock was offered at $35 on Instinet but not trading. JPM hit the tape at $26 on Instinet in a small trade, down from a $26.10 close.
Chipmaker Intel Corp. INTC, -0.56% was nicked for a penny loss to $18.64. The stock dipped to $18.44 earlier in euro trading, off a $18.65 close. German chipmaker Infineon IFX, -0.82% was down 4 percent earlier in Frankfurt.
IBM IBM, +0.31% was at $71.40 in London, down 60 cents.
AOL Time Warner AOL, -1.75% - in the midst of a big executive reshuffle - was starting to recoup some losses, last at $11.29, down 29 cents, or 2.5 percent. The stock went out at $11.58 on Friday in a 7.5 percent decline.
Check Point Software CHKP, +0.66% rallied 55 cents, or 4 percent, to $14.41 are the Internet security firm reported second quarter earnings that declined from year-earlier levels but topped consensus analyst expectations.
In an unusual discrepancy: Royal Dutch RD shares were down 4 percent in Amsterdam - where the market was hard-hit by the Aegon warning. But the Royal Dutch ADRs were up on Instinet, dealers there said. The ADRs were last at $43.70, up from a $42 close.
J.P. Morgan upgraded the stock to "buy" from "market performer," saying an attractive valuation gap has opened up given its recent underperformance.
The shares have been whacked amid a S&P reshuffling that kicks RD out - but that period closed on Friday. Goldman Sachs GS, +0.82% and Ebay EBAY, +0.67% -- two beneficiaries of the index shuffle -- were weaker in the pre-open.
Comverse Technology CMVT said it would reduce its workforce by 21 percent, or 1,200 employees, in response to continued weakness in capital spending by telecommunications network operators. The stock closed Friday up 2 cents at $8.54.

I went on Netflix and stumbled upon a Netflix Original Docu-series named “Social Fabric” hosted by Fashion designer Kyle Ng. I’m always looking to find shows that offers information that will build interest and create dialogue while at the same time be entertaining. So the title alone caught my interest and caused me to delve deeper. Right off the back I was surprised with the choice of host. Street wear designer & co-founder of Brain Dead, Kyle NG who was entertaining, funny and annoying at the same time. His persona fit the wide target audience that I feel this series is suppose to appeal too. A Chinese skateboarding host with Punk Rock & Hip Hop influences and close ties to the street wear fashion culture. A perfect balance to appeal to a wider audience. The video production was great, the smooth cuts and transitions where perfectly done and background effects were also done well, B-role was also clean, and audio was spot on. So to start off the series the first episode was
Jeans - Denim and why people love them. Kyle discussed the process of denim fading over time and how denim tells a story of how the individual wore those jeans and became a part of the person persona. A denim company named Pure Blue in Kojima Japan showed how they use a rope dipped dye technique and why those jeans cost $800 because of this unique process to create each pair of denim. Also a look at the importance of Vintage jeans. Kyle interviewed a founder that reconstructs old worn vintage jeans into a new pair of vintage jeans. This process is done by a LA based company named Re-done. Very interesting episode various perspectives on the effect of what denim means to people around the world.
T-shirts - V-necks, Mock tees, Graphic tees, and Tall tees. He discussed Tall Tees and the reason tees have become longer, the interviewee also said that in his opinion he thinks it comes from middle eastern influence. Stitching of the fabric is down the middle and can be worn anywhere. It’s represents a new form of individuality. Vintage Hip Hop Rap Tees was also discussed. Kyle went to a well known spot in New York by bowery st. named Procell Vintage Clothing where he displayed his collection while discussing some of the history of these Vintage Rap tees. Next stop was a store named Jammin on Haight to discuss Tye Dye tees in San Francisco. Tye Dye Tees represent the Hippie culture & movement as well The band Grateful Dead & symbolizing being free with sex, drugs and music all while going against the system.
Sneakers - Discussing how the sneaker has become the core piece of fashion that makes a statement and has added value by being collected by men and woman around the world. He start out with the Japanese sneaker brand Asics and how it’s known for their many collaborations to create unique styles and color ways over the years. Then he goes into Vans and being a skateboarder and punk rock fan, you can really tell how much he cares about the brand and what it means to him as someone who came up wearing this Iconic Skating shoe brand. He discussed the creation of the Half Cab and the importance of this sneaker. The owner of Vans talked about how it changed the game and was a necessity for skaters because of the cut and flexibility of the shoe.
Fedoras - You have to watch
Plaid - You Have to Watch
Cowboy Boots - You Have to Watch
Leather Jackets - Rebellion or Cool. He walked around Brooklyn with Arturo Castaneda who has worked with Ralph Lauren and they both discussed Leather Jackets inside a store in Dumbo named the Front General Store. They talked about the Perfecto biker Jacket, Bomber Jacket, Shearling collars on the bomber, & Cafe Racer Jackets and how he felt the leather Jacket is a Iconic piece. He also discussed the importance of the leather jacket to the punk culture and the meaning of having various custom styled pieces that shows your individuality.
Crazy Pants - You Have to Watch
The Suit - This episode he goes into London and talks about the Bespoke Suit had a tailor create a custom shooting suit made by Stowers on Saville Row, in the city of Westminster. They make outfits & shooting suits for the Saudi Royal Family & Micheal Jackson. He displayed the Saudi Royal Family Tweed used for their shooting suit. Also showed an example of Real Gold Wire that was used for MJ gold outfit. They made tweed Trousers, waist coat, vest and shooting vest which has a suede shoulder to keep the butt of the gun from moving and is much longer and has deeper pockets for ammo shells. Then he went into L.A. to discuss the Dandy suit style that is a lot more creative and flexible with what you can wear like bright colors and loud patterns that stand out. Then he went to Hollywood to discuss the Western Suit that has embroidery, patches and the classic Yoke design that is displayed on different parts of the jacket especially the cut along the back collar. He also talked about who made this style of suit famous which was a person named Nudie. Nudie created the RhineStone Western Suit for everyone in Hollywood at one time. His suits are in the Valley Relics Museum. Some of the stars that wore the RhineStone suit at the time were Elvis, John Wayne, John Lennon, Cher, Lou Rawls and many more.
Bling - You Have to Watch
Sacred Threads - You Have to Watch
Camo - You Have to Watch
Overall a nice concept for a Docu-series. I look forward to seeing if there will be a season 2. I want to see who he interviews next within his journey of learning the history of various Fashion trends and pieces. It’s a must see.

Beaumont officers are apprehending members of the "Young Original Gorillas" gang who may have been involved in the murder of 19 year-old, Kera Teel. Officers have identified 22-year-old, Jared Bias as the gunman in the June 6th homicide.
"Been really praying a lot about how to be an instrument in bringing these gang violence down," said Kennedy Andrews, a pastor at the Harvest For Lost Souls church.
Andrews says the recent arrest of 22 year-old Jared Bias, shows the city's need for change against gang violence.
"The cause to live in Beaumont, is a cause to make a difference here in Beaumont," said Andrews.
Beaumont police say Jared Bias is a gang member of the group. Beaumont prosecutors say the gang is made up of 70 or more members that is most prevalent in North Mada Drive.
"One of the key things is getting them to a place of understanding that its not the answer," said Andrews.
The pastor says that the churches mission is to reach out to local gang members by bringing a more personal approach to the issue.
"We are opening up the church for everyone to come in." said Andrews.
Beaumont police say that most of the y.O.G. Gang involves teenagers and are currently apprehending others in the group who maybe involved in the murder of Kara Teel.
"If we are not careful in a few years, are kids will have no direction," said Andrews.
Pastor Andrews wants gang members of Y.O.G. to know that their not just affecting others, but their own lives as well.
"My office is always open and the best thing I can give you, is my listening ears," said Andrews.
This Saturday, the Harvest For Lost Souls church is hosting an event called the "Kingdom Men Prayer" which is meant to invite local gang members to help encourage the stop of violence.
