Dissertation Title: “FAMILIES HEADED BY WOMEN, SOCIAL POLICY AND POVERTY IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC: an analysis of the survival conditions of single mothers in the city of Belém/Pará."
Student: RENATA DO SOCORRO DOS ANJOS BENTES
ABSTRACT: This study aims to verify the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the living and working conditions of single-parent families with female headship, solo mothers, and beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Cash Transfer Program, in the city of Belém/PA. As an investigation method, this research sought to be based on Historical and Dialectical Materialism, having technical-operative procedures: bibliographical survey, documental research, and field research. The bibliographical survey prioritized the works published in the main academic portals, in consonance with the investigated theme, besides the approach to the debate involving classic and contemporary authors, in an attempt to problematize the theme in the context and limits of the current capitalist society. The documentary research was constituted from the in-depth reading of national and international documents, as well as federal organs and institutes, to identify the demographic aspects of single-parent families headed by women, at the national, state, and municipal levels, also in an attempt to make a historical overview of the relationship between Social Assistance policies and the gender issue. The field research consisted of the analysis of the identification forms of the families, in this case, the single-parent families with female headship, assisted by the Service of Protection and Integral Care to the Family (PAIF) in the Reference Centers for Social Assistance (CRAS) Guamá and Terra Firme, in the years 2019 to 2021, aiming to identify the impacts that the Covid-19 pandemic has triggered in the living and working conditions of the family nuclei that have as their main representative a woman, solo mother and user of the Bolsa Família Program (PBF), in the municipality of Belém/PA. The results indicate that, as of 2020, jobs, daycare centers, and schools were closed, in addition to an increase in increasingly precarious labor relations based on informality. There has also been an increase in structural unemployment that has affected families in Brazil as a whole, as well as an increase in hunger and poverty, and a high demand for social benefits, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. These factors have had an enormous impact on the female population, and especially on the female heads of households, the majority of whom are black, at the national and municipal levels, exacerbating the historic inequality of class, gender, and race in Brazil. In the state of Pará and the city of Belém, this process resulted in the utmost urgency for the implementation of policies to guarantee and protect the rights of this segment, despite the difficulties imposed by the current federal government and its ultra-liberal logic.
Keywords: Families, female single-parent households, solo mothers, female family headship, Covid-19 pandemic.

Porosity formation in pulsed laser keyhole welding was found to be affected by two competing factors: (1) the solidification rate of molten metal and (2) the back filling speed of molten metal during the keyhole collapse process. Porosity (pores/voids) was found in welds when the solidification rate of molten metal exceeds the back filling speed of molten metal. In this study, the use of electromagnetic force was proposed to control the back filling speed of molten metal, and a mathematical model was developed to investigate the effects of electromagnetic force on the transient melt flow, keyhole dynamics, and porosity formation. The results demonstrate that porosity in pulsed laser welding can be prevented by an applied electromagnetic force. Parametric studies to determine the desired strength of the electromagnetic force and its duration were also conducted to achieve quality welds.

Caleb Hall Signs with MMA Tee Company - Set to Fight at CFFC 105
Lancaster, PA / Philadelphia, PA - Caleb Hall (2-2) has signed a sponsorship agreement with MMA Tee Company ahead of his upcoming fight at CFFC 105 in Philadelphia, PA on January 29th.
Hall will be taking on Manny Morales, who is making his professional debut in the fight.
“Caleb is an exciting fighter who is going to go out and put on a show for the CFFC fans in attendance and watching on UFC Fight Pass,” said John Brennan of MMA Tee Company. “You won’t want to miss this fight.”
“This fight camp has been really good. Moving back to 170 has given me the ability to focus more on building skills than the drastic weight cut,” Hall said.
“I think my opponent is well rounded and trains with a great team but doesn’t have the experience I do, and that is going to be why he falls short in this fight. I see myself finishing him late in the 2nd or 3rd.”

The Maryland Attorney General released the following press release on January 26, 2023: Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today announced the plea and sentencing of Darvin Kevin McCoy, 36, of Odenton, Maryland, on charges including drug kingpin and supervision of a criminal organization, which relate to a long-term investigation into a fentanyl distribution ring that was operating in Howard County, Baltimore City, and Baltimore County.
On January 23, 2023, McCoy pled guilty before Judge Stephanie P. Porter of the Howard County Circuit Court to several charges, including drug kingpin, supervision of a criminal organization, conspiracy to commit robbery, solicitation of robbery, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, possession of a firearm with nexus to a drug trafficking crime, possession of a large amount of fentanyl mixture, and two counts of distribution of fentanyl. The robbery charges pertained to McCoy’s role in the robbery of money, drugs, and jewelry of a co-conspirator as a sanction for transgressions against the criminal organization. McCoy was sentenced to 20 years of incarceration without the possibility of parole.
The case began as an investigation by Howard County Police into a non-fatal opioid overdose that occurred in their jurisdiction. The continued investigation led by the Attorney General’s Organized Crime Unit, the Howard County Police Department, and the Strike Force 7 Group, led by the Maryland State Police linked the overdose to as many as six additional overdoses that occurred throughout Maryland and Virginia, including at least one fatal overdose. During the investigation, police seized more than one kilogram of fentanyl and six handguns. Detectives observed hundreds of hand-to-hand drug transactions in multiple jurisdictions and intercepted communications that confirmed the distribution of large amounts of fentanyl throughout Maryland.
Darvin McCoy is one of six defendants charged in this investigation. On November 22, 2022, another defendant, Jawan Markeys Fulton, 28, of Baltimore, pled guilty before Judge William V. Tucker of the Circuit Court for Howard County to supervision of a criminal organization, conspiracy to commit robbery, possession of a firearm with nexus to a drug trafficking crime, possession of a large amount of fentanyl, and distribution of fentanyl. Fulton was sentenced to 20 years of incarceration, suspending all but five years to be served without the possibility of parole, and three years of supervised probation. Charges are still pending for the remaining four codefendants. In making today’s announcement, Attorney General Brown thanked Organized Crime Chief Katie Dorian, Assistant Attorney General Paul Halliday, Assistant Attorney General Krystle Sanders, Assistant Attorney General Shannon Price, the Howard County Police Department, the
Strike Force 7 Group, led by the Maryland State Police, and the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office. Attorney General Brown also thanked the Baltimore City Police Department, State’s Attorney for Howard County Rich H. Gibson, Jr., and State’s Attorney for Baltimore County Scott Shellenberger for their assistance in this investigation.

Barletta is in his 4th term representing the 11th district in central Pennsylvania. He sits on Education, Homeland Security, and Transportation. Barletta won election on his opposition to illegal immigration, and while he has been a stalwart on that issue, he has been a major disappointment to conservatives on fiscal matters, earning only an atrocious 45.6% legislative score. Time and again, Barletta has voted as a thorough RINO, with Nancy Pelosi and for pork, unfunded disaster relief, and debt ceiling increases. Barletta is currently running for the GOP nomination for Senate, and whether he gets it or not, the 11th deserves much better.

Burghclere Achieving Rural Resilience
The Parish Council decided to prepare a neighbourhood plan in November 2017 with the encouragement of Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council to local communities across the Borough to prepare neighbourhood plans. The key driver of this decision was a sense of wanting to plan positively for the future of the village and the Parish as a whole.
The neighbourhood plan scope included meeting local housing need in such a way which also delivered wider community benefits. Due to the wider implications of providing more homes in a rural location this would be in the form of a Community Hub for the village. Community hubs are projects combining small local housing schemes for downsizers, entry-level, affordable and custom build with other community assets which might include: workspace, space for meeting/event/health drop in, a shop/delivery drop off service, café/licensed public bar, and electric vehicles and charging infrastructure for community energy groups/cooperatives.
Whilst the innovative work of the Burghclere Neighbourhood Plan was proceeding well, a planning application was submitted for 35 dwellings in the village on a site that was not allocated in the neighbourhood plan. The application was refused but went to appeal. Although there was a cumulative weight of adverse impacts outweighing the benefits of the scheme the high probability that the Burghclere Neighbourhood Plan would be derailed at the referendum stage and the effect such a decision would have on the future confidence of the parish in neighbourhood planning carried very significant weight and the appeal was dismissed.
Appeal decisions such as these should encourage neighbourhood plan groups that a positively prepared neighbourhood plan can, and should, still protect communities from speculative developments.

Everyone agrees that Veruca Salt should have been given some of the Fizzy Lifting Drinks and set free like a drifting balloon, right? It’s impressive just how much of a terror Julia Dawn Cole made the character in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, especially considering how kind the actress is in real life. With acting chops like that, where did she go?
Born in Surrey, England on October 26, 1957, Julia would live the first twelve years of her life in relative quiet before being cast as the nightmare child in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. While Julia Dawn Cole herself was a quiet and kind person, Veruca was the polar opposite.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
It would prove to be a breakout role for Julia though, and lead to making some lifelong friends among the cast, including a competitive crush with Denise Nickerson who played Violet Beauregard over Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie in the film.
While Julia would last on set a bit longer than the other kids, she would eventually be seen off through the egg chute along with her character midway through the film, bringing an end to her first major role in a film. In a move that seemed fitting for her character, Julia Dawn Cole even stole some props from the set she was instructed not to, including a golden ticket, a golden egg, and an Everlasting Gobstopper. We all would have done the same, let’s be honest.
While her Wonka co-stars would go their separate ways, with some continuing to act while others like Ostrum moved on from the profession, deciding to explore other interests. Cole herself would end up pursuing more roles in England while going on to also finish her time in school.
Down the Egg-Dicator
She would nab a recurring guest role in the first two seasons of the ITV sitcom And Mother Makes Three almost immediately starting in 1971, right after the premiere of Wonka. She would hop around the various sets of BBC and ITV studios, appearing across smaller shows and made for television movies for the next few years before landing a lead role in the medical drama Angels in 1975.
Her role as a nurse on the show would last through the end of the third season before Julia Dawn Cole decided to move on to other projects, next showing up for a recurring part in the prestige drama Poldark’s original run in 1977. She would appear in six episodes of the second and final season of the show.
The eighties were much the same for her in terms of projects, with more work happening around the BBC and ITV studios in England. The former Veruca Salt would appear in almost every other show across the networks during the decade, along with even more television specials and one-offs in tv movies and other presentations.
Moving Right Along
While her career would stay steady through the eighties and into the nineties, with roles on some of Great Britain’s most popular daytime soap operas like EastEnders, Doctors, and Emmerdale Farm (all three of which are somehow still running). She would eventually start to slow things down in the mid-90s, focusing on other goals instead of just acting.
While she would go on to be certified as a physical fitness trainer, that wouldn’t last nearly as long as the second passion she found- psychotherapy. She would become licensed in 2001, going on to begin her own psychotherapy business which she still works in today.
Even with such a busy life at a young age, Julia Dawn Cole still managed to keep a full personal life intact as well, meeting actor and ex-husband Nick Wilton in 1988 before they would marry in 1991. The couple would have two children together before filing for divorce in 2002.
What is Julia Dawn Cole doing now?
Julia Dawn Cole has retired from acting now, with her last few roles being returns to older daytime soaps she was in near the beginning of her career, including Emmerdale Farm in 2006 and Casualty in 2013. Casualty would be her final role to date on film or television, only appearing as herself for talk appearances since then.
Cole holds her role as Veruca Salt near and dear still, with a couple of stage revivals as an older version of the character in her home country receiving a fair amount of praise in 2010 during The Veruca Salt Sessions. She would also publish a memoir titled after her character’s infamous demand “I Want It Now!” in 2016.
These days Cole lives a quiet life in Surrey and has worked full-time in psychotherapy there since 2007. Cole has no plans to return to acting at this time but still does make time to reminisce about her role in the classic film about a zany Chocolatier.

Executives of the Belize Tourism Board held a press conference this morning at the Radisson Fort George Hotel to announce the list of persons and organizations nominated for this year's annual BTB Tourism Award. The awards, introduced 10 years ago, has become the most prestigious in the Tourism Industry. There were 11 categories for this year, including the recently added for 2010, "Destination of the Year" for which the destinations of Placencia, Ambergris Caye, San Ignacio and Hopkins Village were nominated.
The other categories, announced today, are Environmental Organization of the Year, Tour Guide of the Year, Cultural Award of the Year, for which the recently released "Three Kings of Belize" album received a nomination. The other categories include Small Vendor of the Year, Restaurant of the Year, Receptive Service of the Year, Frontline Person of the Year, Small Hotel of the Year, Tour Operator of the Year and Hotel of the Year.
The nominations have been posted on the BTB's website at www.travelbelize.org and those from the public wishing to vote for their favourite person or organization, have up until 11:59, one minute before midnight, on May 13th, to cast their votes. The 2010 BTB Tourism awards will take place on June 10th.
And while the nominations were the focus of today's press conference, it was a side-order of $30 million dollars dished out by the Minister of Tourism, in a conversation with Jim McFadzean that got our attention. Jim has all the details in this report.
Jim McFadzean Reporting
Its been the lingering and puzzling question for the masses with eyes who can see, '"Why would anyone in their right mind promote this city as the point of entry for our country as a tourist destination?"
The familiar "First Impression is One's Lasting Impression" has apparently not been heeded by the so-called experts. But no problem apparently, for the few whose short-sightedness have kept this old capital city of ours in a permanent state of decay and deterioration. But, if there is any truth to today's revelation by the Minister of Tourism that the old city will soon get an infusion of cash for a facelift, then the bet is on to see who can and will hold their breath the longest.
"At any point do you beleive that the Tourism Industry will have to revisit where these tourists are unloaded so as not to get this first bad impression of this city, or of this country?"
Manuel Heredia, Minister of Tourism
"Well what I feel that needs to be done because their visits to the cayes, to the archaeological sites have been a wonderful experience for most tourists, both overnight and cruise. Where I feel that we need to address it better is in the city, no? And I think that you have heard about this $30 million infrastructure project that will be done which includes Belize City. And definitely at that point, we will be addressing several of the issues that need to be addressed. That will be sometime this year."
This city and its residents, an estimated 70,000 have been neglected, while crime, corruption and lawlessness continue unchecked and Belize City is now among the most unsafe cities in Central America and the Caribbean.
And while $30 million sounds like a lot of mullah to the average citizen, this stretch of road at Marine Parade which is just a few miles long cost over 20 million - or in the case of the Novelo's bus service 30 million dollars was disbursed in a single day - which should remind us all that when the politicians get their hands on that kind of money, you never know what you're going to get. But this is IDB funding and City Councillor Laura Esquivel thinks the cosmetic transformation can and will happen.
Laura Esquivel-Frampton, City Councillor
"There are two projects for Belize City. The first is a technical sort of assistance in looking at a waterfront usage strategy for Belize City, mainly looking at the usage of the areas that are right up to the sea, the Southern Foreshore, the Princess Margaret Drive, Marine Parade Boulevard, looking at how best to use...land use...in terms of moving the tourism industry along those routes."
"The second is the infrastructure facelift that's going to be happening. It's being called the Pedestrian Link. That is because it's going to be the link which will be encouraging more people to walk outside the gates of the tourism village along the main area which we are focusing on the North Front Street Area up to the Swing Bridge. So we are looking at expanded pavements and sidewalks. And we are looking at finishing that North Front Street area in terms of having it properly paved. And also looking at the general beautification and aesthetics and working with the local businesses that are already located along that route and trying to get them to do more of a tourism-centric businesses in those locations."
Belize City by any standards can hardly be dubbed a tourist destination, with its limited infrastructure and attractions and the fact that it will have to share that IDB Loan of 30 million dollars, well, if you are expecting Disney Worldï¿½just don't hold your breath. Reporting for 7News, I'm Jim McFadzean.
The IDB project is set for disbursement sometime later this year.

After the mains came out, were completely ignored by staff. Waited 40 minutes to order dessert & coffee, gave up & had to go to bar to pay our bill. The dinning room was around half full with 3 waiting staff, so they weren't run of their feet.

Make the ‘Spready' Your Second Home!
There's hardly a shortage of pubs in Richmond. But we say there's no such thing as too many good pubs. And the Spread Eagle Hotel is just that — the type of neighbourhood gem where the bartenders likely to pour your regular drink before you even sit down. The Spread Eagle Hotel is full of locals who keep coming back for steak night and,well, just about any night. The atmosphere is what we'd expect from a neighbourhood pub: lively,casual,charming and sometimes loud. It's more than the setting and constant flow of drinks that keeps people coming back though. It's the food, too. There's plenty of classic pub fare — such as the chicken parma, fish and chips and porterhouse steak — mixed with a smattering of more refined selections. The ‘Spready' offers dishes such as slow braised spring lamb shoulder, chargrilled kangaroo fillet and eye fillet served with red wine jus. Pair it with your favourite tipple and Bob's your uncle!
Best dish: eye fillet

Map of the San'in Region
|• Total||11,680.73 km2 (4,509.96 sq mi)|
(June 1, 2009)
|• Density||120/km2 (310/sq mi)|
|Time zone||UTC+9 (JST)|
The name San'in in the Japanese language is formed from two kanji characters. The first, 山, "mountain", and the second, 陰 represents the "yin" of yin and yang. The name means the northern, shady side of the mountains in contrast to the yang "southern, sunny" San'yō region to the south.
The San'in region has numerous Paleolithic and Jōmon period (14,000 – 300 BC) remains, but its Yayoi period (300 BC – 250 AD) remains are the largest in Japan. The Mukibanda Yayoi remains in the low foothills of Mount Daisen in the cities of Daisen and Yonago, Tottori Prefecture are the largest in Japan. The site is still only partially excavated, but indicates that the San'in was a regional center of power in the period. The mythology of the Shinto religion is largely based in the Izumo area of the region, and the Izumo-taisha, or Izumo Grand Shrine in Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, is one of the most ancient and important Shinto shrines in Japan. The eastern part of Shimane Prefecture also had cultural and economic connections to the Asian mainland from an early period.
The San'in region corresponds to San'indō (山陰道), one of the gokishichidō, or five provinces and seven circuits established in the Asuka period (538–710) under the Ritsuryō legal system. San'indō refers not only to the ancient geographic region, but also the main road through the region that connected it to the capitol in Kyoto. The San'in encompassed the pre-Meiji provincial areas of Tanba, Tango, Tajima, Inaba, Hōki, Izumo, Iwami and Oki.
While the San'indō route was used for military logistics in numerous conflicts after the Asuka period, it more importantly served as a route for the transport of good to and from the region. The route reached its highest period of importance in the Edo period (1603–1867) when the Tokugawa shogunate formalized its route and shukuba post stations. The daimyō regional rulers used the San'indō for their sankin-kōtai mandatory journeys to Edo (modern Tokyo).
The San'in region now has no administrative authority. In modern Japanese usage it generally refers to the prefectures of Shimane, Tottori and northern area of Yamaguchi. The northern areas of Hyōgo and Kyōto prefectures are sometimes included in the region as well. Japan Route 9, the San'in Expressway, and the JR West San'in Main Line follow the historical route of the San'indō, and remnants of the shukuba, some well preserved, remain throughout the region.
The San'in Region has a long coastline along the Japan Sea that dramatically sweeps south to the Chūgoku Mountains along the length of the region. The area is primarily mountainous with few plains. While the climate of the San'in region is not as harsh as that of the Hokuriku region to the north, winters are characterized by heavy snow and rainfall typical of areas on the Japan Sea.
The San'in region is far from the industrial and cultural heartlands of Japan, and the region is consequently economically undeveloped compared to the other regions of Japan. The landscape remains rural and unindustrialized, and the urban areas of the region are decentralized. Tottori and Shimane are the least populated prefectures in Japan, and the population is aging at a rate faster than the rest of Japan. Cities in the region with a population of over 100,000 remain only the prefectural capitols of Tottori and Matsue, the more recently industrialized Yonago, and Izumo, a city formed from numerous smaller cities and villages after World War II. The agricultural output of the San'in region, however, remains very high. Its broad coastal and mountainous areas are protected as national, prefectural, and municipal parks, and these areas are now popular tourist destinations.
The San'in region is connected by several JR West rail lines and some highways, but transportation is relatively undeveloped compared to other regions of Japan. Projects to connect the region to the wider highway network of Japan continue.
The Bantan Line (播但線, Bantan-sen) is a railway line that connects Himeji and Wadayama station in Asago City, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. The line is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and serves as a connector between the Sanyo Main Line and the Sanin Main Line. The name refers to the ancient provinces of Harima (播磨) and Tajima (但馬), which the line connects.
The line is 65.7 kilometres (40.8 mi) long, with 18 stations.Chūgoku Mountains
Chūgoku Mountains (中国山地, Chūgoku Sanchi) is a mountain range in the Chūgoku region of western Japan. It runs in an east-west direction and stretches approximately 500 km (311 mi) from Hyōgo Prefecture in the east to the coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture. The range also reaches under the Pacific Ocean.The two tallest mountains in the group are Daisen and Mount Hyōno, which are 1,729 m (5,673 ft) and 1,510 m (4,954 ft), respectively. Many other mountains in the ranger are also over 1,000 m (3,281 ft), while some of the smaller mountains are less than 500 m (1,640 ft). Granite is the most common stone found among the mountains, much of which has been exposed through erosion.Chūgoku dialect
The Chūgoku dialect (中国方言, Chūgoku hōgen) is a group of the Japanese dialects spoken in most of the Chūgoku region and in the northwestern Kansai region. It may be separated into two groups according to the form of the copula.
copula ja group (San'yō region)
Aki also known as Hiroshima dialect (western Hiroshima Prefecture, formerly known as Aki Province)
Bingo dialect (eastern Hiroshima Prefecture, formerly known as Bingo Province)
Fukuyama dialect (Fukuyama)
Okayama dialect (Okayama Prefecture)
Yamaguchi also known as Chōshū dialect (Yamaguchi Prefecture)
copula da group (parts of San'in region)
Iwami dialect (western Shimane Prefecture, formerly known as Iwami Province)
ja is also used in western Iwami region.
Inshū also known as Tottori dialect (eastern Tottori Prefecture, formerly known as Inaba Province)
Tajima dialect (northern Hyōgo Prefecture, formerly known as Tajima Province)
Tango dialect (northernmost of Kyoto Prefecture, formerly known as Tango Province except Maizuru)Although Kansai dialect uses copula ya, Chūgoku dialect mainly uses ja or da. Chūgoku dialect uses ken or kee instead of kara meaning "because". ken is also used in Umpaku dialect, Shikoku dialect, Hōnichi dialect and Hichiku dialect. In addition, Chūgoku dialect uses -yoru in progressive aspect and -toru or -choru in perfect. For example, Tarō wa benkyō shiyoru (太郎は勉強しよる) means "Taro is studying", and Tarō wa benkyō shitoru (太郎は勉強しとる) means "Taro has studied" while standard Japanese speakers say Tarō wa benkyō shiteiru (太郎は勉強している) in both situations. -Choru is used mostly in Yamaguchi dialect.
Pitch accent of Chūgoku dialect is similar to the Tokyo accent and is a contrast to Kansai dialect and Shikoku dialect.Chūgoku region
The Chūgoku region (Japanese: 中国地方, Hepburn: Chūgoku-chihō, pronounced [tɕɯːɡokɯꜜtɕihoː]), also known as the San'in-San'yō (山陰山陽地方, San'in-San'yō-chihō), is the westernmost region of Honshū, the largest island of Japan. It consists of the prefectures of Hiroshima, Okayama, Shimane, Tottori, and Yamaguchi. In 2010, it had a population of 7,563,428.Gainare Tottori
Gainare Tottori (ガイナーレ鳥取, Gaināre Tottori) are a Japanese football club, based in Yonago, Tottori. They play in the J3 League. Their team colour is green.
Their team name Gainare derives from the Tottori dialect word gaina meaning "great" and Italian sperare meaning "to hope".
Their team mascot is a Japanese horror anime character Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro created by Shigeru Mizuki, a native of Sakaiminato, Tottori.Hare of Inaba
The Hare of Inaba (因幡の白兎, Inaba no Shirousagi) can refer to two distinct Japanese myths, both from the ancient province of Inaba, now the eastern part of Tottori Prefecture. The Hare of Inaba legend belongs to the Izumo denrai, or tradition of myths originating from the Izumo region. The Hare of Inaba forms an essential part of the legend of the Shinto god Ōnamuchi-no-kami, which was the name for Ōkuninushi within this legend.The hare referred to in the legend is the Lepus brachyurus, or Japanese hare, possibly the subspecies found on the Oki Islands known as the Lepus brachyurus okiensis. The Japanese hare ranges between 43 centimetres (17 in) and 54 centimetres (21 in) in length, and is much smaller than the common European hare. Japanese hares are typically brown, but may turn white during winter in areas with a varying climate, such as that of the Inaba region.Kameoka, Kyoto
Kameoka (亀岡市, Kameoka-shi) is a city in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
As of October 1, 2015, the city has an estimated population of 89,479, with 33,915 households and a population density of 398 persons per km². The total area is 224.80 km².Kirara Beach, Shimane
Kirara Beach (キララビーチ, Kirara Biichi) or Kirarahama is a recreational beach on the Sea of Japan in Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. It is located in the area of former town of Taki, which was merged into Izumo in 2005.
The name Kirara (雲母, "mica") or "isinglass," is similar to the Japanese sound effect "kirakira" used for something glittery. Kirara Beach glitters in the sunlight, fitting the appearance of mica.
Kirara Beach is the first beach to open in the San'in region in early June; kids' events are planned for the opening of the beach. The beach has clean water and offshore stacks of cement tetrapods to break the waves. Nearby is health spa and onsen, and an eatery with an all-you-can-eat "baikingu" buffet, whose dining area commands a view of the beach and the Sea of Japan.Miho-Yonago Airport
Miho Airbase (美保飛行場) (IATA: YGJ, ICAO: RJOH), also known as Yonago Airport is a Japan Air Defense Force (JASDF) base located 11km northwest of Yonago in Tottori Prefecture. It is owned and operated by JASDF and shares the runway with civil activities.Mount Hōbutsu
Mount Hōbutsu (宝仏山, Hōbutsu-san) is a Japanese mountain located on the border of Hino and Kōfu, Tottori. The area around the mountain was incorporated into as a part of Daisen-Oki National Park, in March 2002.
It has an elevation of 1,005 metres.
This mountain is one of Chūgoku 100 mountains and Tottori 50 mountains.Namako wall
Namako wall or Namako-kabe (sometimes misspelled as Nameko) is a Japanese wall design widely used for vernacular houses, particularly on fireproof storehouses by the latter half of the Edo period. The namako wall is distinguished by a white grid pattern on black slate. Geographically, it was most prominent in parts of western Japan, notably the San'in region and San'yō region and, from the 19th century, further east, in the Izu Peninsula.Railway Construction Act
The Railway Construction Act (Japanese: 鉄道敷設法, Hepburn: Tetsudō Fusetsu-hō, Law No. 4 of 1892) was promulgated by the Diet of Japan on June 21, 1892, and designated government support for a network of thirty-three railway lines covering most of Japan, with the exception of Hokkaidō. On April 11, 1922, the Diet amended the law to add an additional network of regional and local routes. Today, these lines form the backbone of the national railway network, JR (although JR has relinquished control of some of the more minor ones).Sakaiminato, Tottori
Sakaiminato (境港市, Sakaiminato-shi) is a city in Tottori Prefecture, Japan.San'in Main Line
The Sanin Main Line (山陰本線, San'in-honsen) is a railway line in western Japan, which connects Kyoto and Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West). It is the major railway line of the San'in region, approximately paralleling the Japan Sea, crossing Kyoto, Hyōgo, Tottori, Shimane, and Yamaguchi prefectures. The main portion from Kyoto to Hatabu is the longest single continuous railway line in Japan at 673.8 km, although no regularly scheduled train operates over the entire line.
The section between Kyoto and Sonobe, connecting Kyoto and its northern suburbs, is a part of JR West's Urban Network and is nicknamed the Sagano Line.San'indō
San'indō (山陰道) is a Japanese geographical term. It means both an ancient division of the country and the main road running through it. San'in translates to "the shaded side of a mountain", while dō, depending on the context, can mean either a road, or a circuit, in the sense of delineating a region. This name derives from the idea that the northern side of the central mountain chain running through Honshū was the "shaded" side, while the southern side was the "sunny" (山陽 San'yō) side. The pre-modern region corresponds for the most part with the modern conception of the San'in region.The region was established as one of the Gokishichidō (Five provinces and seven roads) during the Asuka period (538-710), and consisted of the following eight ancient provinces: Tanba, Tango, Tajima, Inaba, Hōki, Izumo, Iwami and Oki. However, this system gradually disappeared in the centuries leading up to the Muromachi period (1333-1467).
The San'indō, however, continued to be important, and highly trafficked through the Edo period (1603-1867). Running mostly east-west, its eastern terminus, along with those of most of the medieval highways (街道, kaidō), was at Kyoto. From there it followed the coast of the Sea of Japan to Hagi, near Shimonoseki, the western terminus of both the San'yōdō and the San'indō, and very near the westernmost end of the island of Honshū. Though the road originally terminated in the west at Hagi, the lords of Chōshū Domain at some point during the Edo period changed it to end at Yamaguchi.
As might be expected, the road served an important strategic and logistical role in a number of military situations over the course of the years. Ashikaga Takauji in the 14th century, Akechi Mitsuhide in the 16th century, and many others used it to flee from conflict, to return to the core of the country (kinai), or to move troops. Many daimyōs also used this road as part of their mandatory journeys (sankin-kōtai) to Edo under the Tokugawa shogunate. Of course, the road also served the more everyday purpose of providing transport for merchants, traveling entertainers, pilgrims and other commoners.
Today, Route 9, the San'in Expressway, and the San'in Main Line of the West Japan Railway Company follow the approximate route of the San'indō.Sanin
Sanin may refer to:
Alexander Sanin (1869–1956), stage name of Alexander Akimovich Shoenberg, Russian actor and director
Vladimir Sanin (1928–1989), Russian traveler and writer
Joseph Volotsky (secular name Ivan Sanin; 1439 or 1440–1515), Russian theologian and saint
Sanin (novel), novel by the Russian writer Mikhail Artsybashev
San'in region in JapanUmpaku dialect
The Umpaku dialect (雲伯方言, Unpaku hōgen) is a group of the Japanese dialects spoken in central San'in region. The name Unpaku (雲伯) is constructed by extracting a representative kanji from Izumo (出雲) and Hōki (伯耆), names of old provinces there.
The Umpaku dialect are:
Izumo dialect (eastern Shimane Prefecture, formerly known as Izumo Province)
Yonago dialect (western Tottori Prefecture centered Yonago)
Oki dialect (Oki islands of Shimane Prefecture)Yobuko
In Japanese folklore the Yobuko (呼子, Calling child) is a yōkai (a supernatural monster) thought to reside in the San'in region and the city of Tottori. It was believed to be the cause of echoing.Ōsaka Station
Osaka Station (大阪駅, Ōsaka-eki) is a major railway station in the Umeda district of Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West). It forms the city's main rail terminal in the north.
Although it is officially served by only the JR Kobe/Kyoto Lines (Tōkaidō Main Line) and the Osaka Loop Line, Osaka is the starting point of JR Takarazuka Line service, and serves as the terminal for trains bound for the San'in region via JR Takarazuka Line and the Hokuriku region via JR Kyoto Line, while offering connections to trains bound for Nara, Wakayama and Kansai International Airport via the Osaka Loop Line.
Umeda Station (Hankyu, Hanshin, and Osaka Metro Midosuji Line), Nishi-Umeda Station (Subway Yotsubashi Line) and Higashi-Umeda Station (Subway Tanimachi Line) are directly connected to Osaka Station, and Kitashinchi Station on the JR Tōzai Line is within walking distance.
Osaka Station and Umeda Station, effectively part of the same complex, together constitute the busiest station in Western Japan, serving 2,343,727 passengers daily in 2005, and the fourth-busiest railway station in the world.Osaka Station also houses a large terminal for overnight bus services to other cities in Japan, and until March 2013 also had a nearby freight terminal complex, Umeda Freight Terminal, owned by JR Freight.

Loss of control events often involve erroneous pilot mental models of the aircraft state and autoflight system modes in the period leading up to the event. These mental models include their immediate situation awareness of the aircraft state, but also often include their knowledge of the autoflight system. Both aspects of these have been modeled computationally in fast-time simulations. The situation awareness of aircraft state is represented as a model-based observer (e.g. Kalman filter). The knowledge of autoflight modes is represented as a finite state machine where each state represents a different control behavior, and transitions between modes are explicitly represented to describe the conditions in which they can be commanded by the pilot and/or commanded automatically. This paper will describe the results of simulations in which the mental model is run dynamically through flight events potentially leading to loss of control.

The Department of Justice found that a hotel supervisor improperly suspended an employee during a check of proof of residency documents. The employee had a green card with an expired date, even though he was still a permanent legal resident. The Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union is attempting to organize workers at the hotel and said that this type of improper document checking is a common way to intimate workers during a union drive. The hotel responded that the complexity and nuances of immigration law caused the mistake and that they felt the judgment against them was fair.

The most authoritative and comprehensive barista guide for coffee preparation available.
We at Common Man Coffee Roasters have seen barista guides come and go, and while some were better than others none have ever quite hit the mark. Until now. Never have we seen a barista guide to coffee preparation and barista techniques as authoritative and comprehensive as the Professional Barista’s Handbook written by Scott Rao. He has distilled his years of experience into this extensive guide that is of pure benefit to the reader.
Traditionally these books have been compiled by a selection of industry professionals put together with little or no thought by a publisher, often with the aim of capitalising on the hole in the market and without a deep seated understanding of the industry. Scott, on the other hand, is a self-published industry professional. The Professional Barista’s Handbook contains everything you need to know, from basic fundamentals through to more developed practices such as the Stockfleth technique.

After assessing the current situation of COVID-19, the French authorities decided to remove 12 third countries from the red list and put them on the orange list.
Countries removed from the red list include Ukraine, Moldova and Russia, as well as nine countries in southern Africa – Mozambique, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Namibia – which were previously subject to the law. Entry prohibited due to the spread of the Omicron variant within their territory.
Two other countries also moved to the orange list. However, they were previously part of the Green List. The countries that have moved from the green list to the orange list are Australia and Argentina, TheSchengen.com reports.
In contrast to the countries listed above, the COVID-19 situation has worsened in Australia and Argentina. For this reason, the two countries were moved from the green list to the orange list.
This means that travelers from countries that have moved from the red list to the orange list will now be subject to less stringent entry rules upon arrival in France, while travelers from Argentina and Australia will have to follow additional entry rules.
All people entering France from a country on the Orange List are exempt from the requirements for self-isolation provided they hold a valid vaccination certificate.
In addition, everyone, even those who have been fully vaccinated or have recovered from the virus, must submit a negative test result taken within 48 hours before arriving in France.
On the other hand, unvaccinated travelers from an orange country must self-isolate for seven days upon arrival in France.
France also has a red list. The red list currently includes Afghanistan, Belarus, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Georgia, Nigeria, Mauritius, Montenegro, Pakistan, Suriname, Tanzania, Turkey and the USA.
Fully vaccinated travelers from red-listed countries can currently enter Spain without restrictions provided they submit a pre-test. In contrast, unvaccinated travelers must self-quarantine for ten days upon entry.
As for the countries of the European Union and the Schengen area, they are all currently part of France’s green list, which means they can enter under the concessional entry rules, provided they meet all the necessary requirements.
Previously, France tightened its COVID-19 measures for everyone, including tourists. Furthermore, the authorities announced that everyone over the age of 18 will be required to receive a booster dose in order for the vaccination certificate to remain valid. This requirement applies to all who received the last dose of the vaccine more than seven months ago.

Slavery is widespread in the northwestern African country of Mauritania where black individuals and families are bought by light-skinned Mauritanians who subject them to slavery.
Despite years of caution and legislation by the government, United Nations and other international bodies and agencies, the practice is ongoing.
For the first time in the history of the country, a court sentenced two slave-owners to 20 years in prison, the toughest conviction ever in the country where a conviction for owning slaves is rare.
The slave owner Hamoudi Ould Saleck will serve the same sentence as his father who will serve posthumously after his death before the end of the trial. They held a family with their two children as slaves for many years.
The case was filed in court by former slaves who also ensured the sentencing of a woman, Revea Mint Mohamed, who was jailed for 10 years for keeping three slaves including a 29-year-old who had been kept since she was a small girl, reports the BBC.
Mauritania outlawed slavery in 1981 but a small fraction of the population is still living in slavery, Amnesty International said. It estimates that 43,000 people were still living in slavery despite the country’s decision to criminalize the act in 2015.
More anti-slavery activists have been sentenced in Mauritania than slave-owners after continuous denial of the existence of slavery by the government in the past.
Majority of slaves in the country are descendants of black Africans who were captured during the ancient slave raids. The slaves are commonly referred to as “black moors” or “haratin”.
Their masters are light skinned Arabs of the Berber ethnic group, who are the descendants of traditional slave owners locally known as “al-beydan”.
In Mauritania, slavery mainly takes the form of “chattel slavery”, in which the slaves and their descendants are considered the full property of their masters. This means a slave owner can sell, rent out or give away their slaves without a question.
Slavery is also ongoing in Sudan, Libya, Egypt and South Africa. Experts believe that tougher sanctions like the 20-year prison term will end slavery in Mauritania.

text: Class of 2011 — Day 27: A very special Wilton senior class, from A to Zoe [/caption] Over the past four years, I've had the pleasure to watch many athletes grow up right in front of my very eyes. They've gotten bigger, stronger, faster, better; maturing from kids one year out of 8th grade and leaving us to go to college. Over the four years I've had the honor of covering Wilton High athletics, the one athlete that I think has grown the most — from quiet, shy, timid freshman; into an athlete who made a major difference for her program — was cross country and track runner Zoe Gaston. When Zoe was a freshman, she was a tag-a-long, running with the tradition-rich Warriors program and showing just enough to potential to make you wonder about tomorrow. As a freshman, she ran No. 6 for the Warriors in the Class MM championship meet. Her sophomore year, though, she failed to crack the top of the seven as the Warriors went through the class, state and New England championship meet. As a junior, however, Zoe Gaston came into her own.

On October 31, 2009, just days after Wilton had lost a heart-breaking FCIAC championship meet, Gaston led the Warriors across the finish line at the Class L state championship meet. She placed 12th, as and as her teammates came in as four of the next eight runners behind her, she had helped lead the Warriors to the Class L championship. As a senior, she finished fifth in the FCIAC championship meet and second for the team as Wilton won its second league championship in three years. The 38-96 win over Darien and Ridgefield was the largest-ever margin of victory by an FCIAC girls championship taem. She also became out-spoken and somebody I could always turn to for a comment post-race, or for a feature story about somebody else. From start to finish, Zoe Gaston's Wilton High School career showed her going the distance with all her heart and ability. Now, she heads off for another race — the rat race of the future — but, in the end, you know Gaston is going to be there, successful, smiling and wearing her hair just the way she likes it. (Private joke for those who remember the "Hair" post from a few years ag0).

That won’t stop us from doing so anyway, because it’s always fun to get your predictions in after seeing a small dose of what’s to come.
That’s what former ex-NBA player Mateen Cleaves did on Thursday night after watching the performance of a white-hot Jamal Crawford, who stuck it to his former team – the Portland Trail Blazers – by scoring a game-high 25 points on nine-of-17 shooting off the bench. Cleaves predicted that Crawford would win this season’s Sixth Man of the Year award – something yours truly predicted before the start of the season.
Crawford is certainly turning heads early on with perhaps one of the finest shooting stretches of his career, but he isn’t the only player off to an exceptional start as a sixth man. To get a better idea of who may be on their way towards winning the award, lets take a look at the top five performers (in no particular order) off the bench so far in the young season:


Today, plastic packaged integrated circuits are ubiquitous even for high-reliability applications. Reliability testing and standards play a key role in reliability engineering to achieve the necessary reliability performance. Traditional stress-based standards are easy to use but often over- or under-stress units and don’t focus on key vulnerabilities, particularly moisture-related ones. Knowledge-based standards have evolved to fix this, but rely on knowledge of mechanisms, control of board manufacturing conditions, and understanding and specifying end use conditions. This motivates a survey of plastic package mechanisms and testing with particular focus on moisture-related mechanisms and testing. The moisture-related examples will cover HAST testing, and the “popcorn” mechanism.
1.Understand the philosophy and methods behind reliability testing of ICs as applied to plastic-packaged ICs.
2.Learn the historical development of the JEDEC temperature-humidity-bias (HAST) moisture reliability testing standard.
3.Get a practical overview of key thermal, thermo-mechanical, moisture (chemical), and moisture (“popcorn”) mechanisms.
4.Appreciate how transformation of environmental conditions to conditions at the site of failure in the package is used to “scale” reliability models.

When it was first announced that a new South Park game was on the way, I was skeptical. The history of South Park games has been murky to say the least. Then it was first shown off and everyone agreed that it nailed the look of the show. But would that be enough to meet the demands of South Park fans the world over?
The story of The Stick of Truth is pretty simple. You as the new kid, have just moved to town and your parents have decided the first thing you need to do is make friends. Upon venturing outside you meet Butters and he takes you to see the Wizard King, Cartman.
The kids of this quiet little mountain town have decided that the game of the day is a war between the Humans and Elves, over a stick. But not just any stick, The Stick of Truth. After your first round of tutorials is completed you are attacked and the stick is taken. This sets in motion a series of events that will change you and the kids. Along the way you will meet anthropomorphic poo, sadists, hunters, star trek fans, delusional former vice-presidents and even more crazy residents of this town.
Throughout your 10 or so hours completing the main quest line you will be presented with a range of side quests that will see you killing some of the strangest creatures ever created, beating up the kids of the competition of the City Wok restaurant and completing all sorts of other side quests. This is the first time you can actually see the world of South Park in full detail. So walking from the school to your house, or perhaps over to Tweek Coffee can be a fair walk; thankfully the game does contain a fast travel system.
South Park contains a few different styles of gameplay from a turn based battle system, similar to the Paper Mario series, a rock band style mini game and more. While each is presented in a way that you can see what you have to do, there is very limited instruction on almost every aspect excluding the main battle system. While the battle system is the star here, it’s a shame that there was not more effort put into the other systems.
While in battle, you will have access to a range of attacks and abilities that see you using things from baseball bats to summoning in some strange assistants. As you level up, you unlock even more powerful attacks. The attacks can cause effects to your enemies and this can help you in battle. As with all rpg’s your character can also be influence by the clothes you wear, and with all the choices out there, you will have some decisions to make. Another level is that almost all the clothes and weapons can be modified with patches that give you perks to your health, attacks, armor and such.You will start off wondering where the challenge is in the game, but be forewarned it does ramp up very fast.
South Park has had a very special look to it from the first episode that ever aired. The look of the show can be described as simple, yet not matter how simple it was, no video game ever matched the look with such detail that this game has. While you could be mistaken for the cutscenes being made by the team that make the episodes, you would be wrong.
While a lot of effort was put into the look of the game, it would be all for nothing if the sound was not there. Thankfully Cartman, Stan, Kyle, Butters, Jimbo, Ned, Randy, Mr Mackey, Kenny, Mr Hankey, Big Gay Al, Jesus, Wendy and the rest of the South Park crew sound exactly like you would expect. So the game looks and sounds like South Park and thankfully the writing is there. So you don’t have Cartman expressing his love of Shakespearian theatre or Kenny using words you can understand.
There have been multiple South Park games over the years, but this is perhaps the first to nail the look, sound and characters of the tv show in game form.
South Park The Stick of Truth has had a troubled development cycle to be sure, but throughout the delays and publisher swaps we have been treated with perhaps one of the greatest licensed video games ever.

Constructing a Rasch scale
When measuring a latent variable through a survey instrument, researchers take the appropriate steps to ensure that such an instrument appropriately and accurately measures the variable(s) of interest. Decisions ranging from the number and type of items (open-ended, closed ended, ranking, etc.) to include to recruiting the appropriate respondents are made. However, when constructing a survey instrument from a Rasch perspective, an additional step is needed to ensure that the instrument contains a linear array of hierarchical survey items which will allow the instrument to be analysed through Rasch measurement theory (RMT).
On 21 July, NFER’s Research Director Charalambos Kollias will demonstrate how a Rasch scale can be constructed from its inception to its analysis. Through the use of an extended example, the steps to construct a variable of interest and the type of analysis needed will be illustrated and discussed.

Chambers: Democrats fighting for 'a more perfect Union'
Donald J. Trump has now become the 45th president of the United States of America, launching what no doubt will be a tempestuous and likely embarrassing four years to come. In the coming “Age of Trump,” we Democrats must recommit ourselves to our core ideals. And so we ask: What is our vision for the U.S. in the “Age of Trump”? It’s all in the Preamble to the Constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Our two most fundamental beliefs are nothing more than the Preamble’s first two clauses.
We Democrats believe that the Union was not "born perfect," far from it. Of course, the founders knew that. How could they not? Some of the most powerful founders, indeed nearly all those signers from the South, owned other human beings as slaves and some owned hundreds of enslaved people. Certainly their wives, such as Martha and Dolley and Abigail Adams — to name just three, knew this Union was not “perfect” from the beginning. It took 133 years and 19 Amendments to finally (in 1920) give women the right to vote.
The founders knew from the get-go that the Constitution required amending. The first 10 amendments were tacked on to the original document in 1787, specifically to address criticisms and worries and to declare the full rights of citizenship. Why? Because they knew we could not take these things for granted.
Since our founding Constitution in 1787, there have been a total 27 formal amendments. And they tended to come in clusters, in key generations: Revolutionary (1-10, 1787); post-Revolutionary (11-12, 1798-1804); post-Civil War (13-15, 1865-1870); Progressive Era (16-21, 1913-1933), which included the 18th (Prohibition, 1918) and the 21st (Repeal of Prohibition, 1933), (yes, some of the fixes themselves needed to be fixed), and the Great Society generation (22-26, 1961-1971).
They were all enacted to fix perceived problems and deficiencies (blind-spots as it were or, as some have called it, "birth-defects"), in order to make “a more perfect Union.”
No matter what modern (neo-)conservative groups like the Federalist Society or radical-right justices like the late Antonin Scalia assert, we Democrats believe the Constitution has always been a “living document” — it was never set in stone.
Because the story of America really is this “experiment in democracy” — the long and imperfect saga of expanding liberty and freedom and the pursuit of happiness. The founders expected each generation to interpret and cultivate those inalienable rights for all American citizens (and, let us note, for those who dream of citizenship, too). Each generation’s challenge is to live up to, and sometimes simply to preserve (as in today), the revolutionary enlightenment ideals that animated the founding of this country: That all people are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable (that is non-negotiable) rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
And this core belief of ours as Democrats — that the story of America is the ever-expanding sphere of liberty enshrined in a “living-document” Constitution — is our biggest contrast with Republicans today. In election campaigns they (usually) push their call for the beau-ideal of "individual freedom." But when elected, they often resort to an ugly majoritarianism, restricting that and cutting this and always, always, starving public education in order to give more and bigger tax cuts to those who are already rich.
Republicans, it seems, including President Trump, actually believe that we Americans have too many freedoms, too much liberty. They generally despise government; denigrate public service; confuse “the freedom to" and “the freedom from"; and blame the poor for their poverty and the unfortunate for their particular problems. In general, Republicans just don’t like the America that we have become. And hence the rise of a President Trump.
Secondly, we Democrats believe in confronting injustice. A just society, social justice, does not happen simply by chance, or simply on its own. People must cultivate justice. We must work to “establish Justice.”
As the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. taught in his remarkable “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” (April 1963), where he had been imprisoned for leading a civil protest against segregation, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
We Democrats believe this. We fight injustice, including poverty, because injustice is bad for you. It is bad for you mentally, spiritually and physically. And yet in the richest country in modern history, some one-third of children are living in poverty. And yet Republican members of Congress, even from the very poorest and hungriest states, such as our very own Rep. Steven Palazzo, repeatedly vote to cut food stamps and other federal nutrition programs. Imagine! And now, Republican members of Congress, even from the most health-challenged states, seek to revoke the only health care that tens of thousands in Mississippi and tens of millions in the USA can afford. They want to go back to the day when health care was a privilege, for the privileged, rather than a civil right, a common decency for all. The poor? The unfortunate? Or what in the bad old days used to be called “the lame, the halt, the crippled, the afflicted”? We Democrats say: Here is injustice. Or, to quote the teaching of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew: "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things." (Matthew: 12:35)
As former President Barack Obama said in his farewell address in Chicago, let us all, as citizens, be "jealous guardians" of our rights, of our freedoms and of our democracy. And to echo President Obama: "Yes we can! Yes we did! Yes we will again!"
Douglas B. Chambers is an associate professor of history at the University of Southern Mississippi.
