This paper considers coordinated multicast beamforming in a multicell multigroup multiple-input single-output system. Each base station (BS) serves multiple groups of users by forming a single beam with common information per group. We propose centralized and distributed beamforming algorithms for two different optimization targets. The first objective is to minimize the total transmission power of all the BSs while guaranteeing the user-specific minimum quality-of-service targets. The semidefinite relaxation (SDR) method is used to approximate the nonconvex multicast problem as a semidefinite program (SDP), which is solvable via centralized processing. Subsequently, two alternative distributed methods are proposed. The first approach turns the SDP into a two-level optimization via primal decomposition. At the higher level, intercell interference powers are optimized for fixed beamformers, whereas the lower level locally optimizes the beamformers by minimizing BS-specific transmit powers for the given intercell interference constraints. The second distributed solution is enabled via an alternating direction method of multipliers, where the intercell interference optimization is divided into a local and a global optimization by forcing the equality via consistency constraints. We further propose a centralized and a simple distributed beamforming design for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) balancing problem in which the minimum SINR among the users is maximized with given per-BS power constraints. This problem is solved via the bisection method as a series of SDP feasibility problems. The simulation results show the superiority of the proposed coordinated beamforming algorithms over traditional noncoordinated transmission schemes, and illustrate the fast convergence of the distributed methods.

The Perfect Central Park Afternoon
One of the best things about New York is Central Park during the spring. Trees are in blossom and white flowers appear at happy snowflakes that never fall down. The blue skies are similar to a Magritte painting and the sun is sharp and beaming. Today was a perfect kind of day so we strolled in the park, rented a small sailboat for Kinley to steer with her dad and then headed to the Guggenheim to see exhibitions. My favorite exhibition was the room with a small Brancusi collection. I loved that exhibition and I really loved the blue color they used on the walls to enhance some of the sculptures.
It ended up being a normal but perfect New York day!

Cracks in the GOP Resistance
HOUSE SPEAKER Dennis Hastert, who has been dragging his feet on scheduling a floor debate on campaign-finance reform legislation, all but issued a dare to advocates. He said he would not schedule a debate before September. "If that's not soon enough for them, they have a right to do something else," Hastert said last week.
Six Republicans just exercised that option. They signed a petition being circulated by House Democrats to force immediate consideration on the House floor.
This is a bold move for a rank-and-file Republican. The leadership expects -- indeed demands -- deference on matters of scheduling. House GOP Whip Tom DeLay has been grumbling about the disloyalty of the six, and hinting at possible retribution. But the group, led by Representative Christopher Shays, R-Conn., decided that campaign- finance reform could not wait any longer. They knew that if the House waited until fall, the Senate would not do anything until next year, when the issue would get mired in election-year posturing. They knew that the best time for a serious discussion and a bipartisan solution is now.
With the six crossovers, Shays and co- sponsor Marty Meehan, D-Mass., now need only 16 more signers for the House to consider a measure that would finally stop the flow of "soft money" -- the unlimited, unregulated donations from corporations, labor unions and wealthy individuals to political parties. Soft money has been at the core of almost all the major 1996 election scandals. The bill also would attempt to subject the so-called "issue ads" on behalf of candidates to disclosure requirements and contribution limits. These ads have become an easy way for unions, corporations and special interests to avoid the rules that apply to direct contributions to candidates.
No California Republican has signed the discharge petition -- yet. Representative Tom Campbell, D-Campbell, who is on record in support of Shays-Meehan, must now show his commitment to reform.
Campaign-finance reform should not be a partisan issue. President Clinton shamelessly talks about reform while routinely exploiting the soft-money loophole. And there are plenty of Republicans who are ready to vote for change, if only they would give themselves the chance.

Is Saudi Arabia “taking over” Pakistan?
Earlier this year, when the election campaign in Pakistan was running at fever pitch, I found myself listening to an old classic by The Who. The song was Won’t Get Fooled Again and the line that got me pondering was “meet the old boss, same as the new boss”. I shuddered when I heard this line while watching parties push their candidates. It was literal horse-trading as politicians scrambled to capture the number of seats required to secure the government for themselves.
We are barely a few months into the new government and people are already questioning and debating the current government’s decisions. For example, take the matter of the Saudi government pledging to set up an oil refinery in Gwadar.
Pakistan’s economy is in dire straits, there is no question about it. Government after government has saddled the country with insurmountable debts. There is no transparency in how much we owe to whom. Even the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), while beneficial, is becoming a black-box of where and how it is being implemented. The difference is, CPEC is largely being driven by the Chinese therefore there is some visibility, be it by the optics of motorways popping up all over Pakistan, the increasing presence of Chinese in Pakistan or even by the daily supplements about CPEC projects in national newspapers.
The new government, like all the previous governments, has realised that to make any sort of headway, they need spending power. Unfortunately, they have also realised that Pakistan has next to nothing in its national coffers and is running on air. As such, we saw the finance teams running around to our allies in the global community looking for funds to sustain the country. During these efforts, Saudi Arabia stepped up to the plate and pledged to help Pakistan by agreeing to set up an oil refinery in Gwadar. The eventual goal of this oil refinery is to lower Pakistan’s crude oil bill by allowing it to refine oil within its borders.
Beijing welcomed this development. Nobody wants to put in labour and effort without getting paid. Unfortunately, just like the calls against the CPEC having a colonial agenda, now there are calls that the Saudis are getting involved for having a colonial agenda in Pakistan.
The only brush with colonialism that South Asia has had was when we were ruled by the British. That came about because the British gradually increased their military presence in India under the guise of protecting their business interests. They also sweet-talked their way into being the most trusted advisors of the ruling royalty. This virtually gave them the opportunity to influence policy decisions.
But will the situation unfold the same way for Pakistan? It is highly doubtful that it would and there are many reasons why that is so.
Firstly, there is the matter of business interest. Yes, the Saudis seem to be increasing their business interest in the country. That is how the global economy runs. Countries that have remained isolated from international business such as North Korea are poor and downtrodden. As far as security and protecting their business interest goes, the Pakistani Army provides ample security to internationally set up projects, no need for anyone to bring in their own forces.
Secondly, there is the case of being beholden to Saudi debt. We are already in too deep when it comes to CPEC projects. The fear is we will end up spending years in paying off the cost of this refinery. However, this is still better than an outright loan from Saudi Arabia. By setting up a multi-billion dollar refinery, the Saudi’s are paying for a piece of infrastructure instead of providing a cash handout. This is also better because a cash handout comes with conditions such as setting up a more Saudi Wahabi agenda in our basic education system.
Thirdly, Saudis are fighting their own economic battles. The Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman has embarked on a modernisation initiative where he is trying to open Saudi Arabia for business. While the campaigning for this venture has been slick and glossy, it leaves the Kingdom with much less capital to invest into other countries. In addition, Saudi Arabia is still neck deep in funding conflict in Syria and isolating Qatar. This has spooked many of the investors that had expressed interest in the Crown Prince’s liberalisation vision and pulled back their investment.
Fourthly, a country is taken over when foreign powers seep into policy-making positions. I believe that the current crop of leaders in Pakistan are too new to be perceived as puppets of foreign governments. Even previous governments, while being a bit partial to some governments, cannot be categorised as puppets. Puppets could be countries like Saudi Arabia as a puppet of the US or Syria being a puppet of Russia.
Lastly, Pakistan is not in a condition to be taken over. Our economy is a mess, our population is uneducated, our infrastructure is dilapidated and our politics is trapped in a feudal mindset. Fixing Pakistan is not an overnight task and neither is it for the fainthearted. There are too many problems and too many road blocks. Why would Saudi Arabia take over such a daunting challenge?
At the end of the day, it is not easy to ‘take over’ a country. Gone are the days when a country could roll into another country with tanks blazing. There are too many alliances and non-government monitoring agencies that serve as diplomatic barriers to outright war. With Pakistan, there is the additional spectre of nuclear weapons. Anybody wishing to take over Pakistan needs to be twice as careful. Pakistan needs to gets its economy in order though, otherwise it will continue to slide deeper and deeper into unsustainable debt and remain at the mercy of foreign powers.

Area of Language Arts/Literacy
Surprises & Confusions
English Language Learners benefit from graphic organizers. Seeing the teacher fill them out as a class helps model for the student, and improve "control of the English language" (Cunningham and Allington, 177)
Shifts In My Thinking
This book shifted my understanding towards the importance of writing and reading being incorporated into every subject throughout the day.
By providing examples of how to incorporate different methods, the book has made me realize different methods and techniques I can apply to have more reading and writing in every subject I teach.
Defenses or Challenge
Developed As A Teacher
Classrooms that Work:
They Can All Read and
Write (5th Edition)
Patricia M. Cunningham
Richard L. Allington
Pearson; 5 edition (Jan. 6 2010)
"The more you read, the better you will read. The better you read, the more you will read.
The more you write, the better you will write. The better you write, the more you will write. All our students -- struggling and achieving alike -- benefit from more! "
- (Cunningham & Allington, 203)
This quote demonstrates the importance of incorporating reading and writing across the curriculum into every subject taught throughout the day.
Professional Book Talk
By: Joveta S
"Reading aloud to your students from all different types of books and magazines is
your best tool for motivating independent reading." - (Cunningham & Allington, 27)
Re-Tell: Beach Ball
This quote is a great reminder, on the importance of creating the desire to read within our students. By reading to your students, you model the importance of reading a variety of texts for your students.
Concepts From The Text
The book provides various reading, writing, and
instructional techniques that are focused towards:
struggling and culturally diverse students
The book also provides many literacy methods
that can be used within the classroom
The book offers ways that teachers can:
Incorporate more reading and writing into
every subject throughout the day (Math, Science, etc.)
The main idea of this book is on the importance of encountering literacy more frequently in the classroom, as it helps students develop their reading and writing skills
Balanced comprehensive literacy instruction
Classrooms that work encourage:
Build the foundation for literacy
Reading & Writing across the Curriculum
This book is intended for classroom teachers,
It provides different methods and reasons for
the importance of a balanced literacy program within a classroom
ESL Teachers - Provides tips for teaching "English Language Learners"
Student Teachers/Education Students
Grades K - 6
We as teachers should always aspire to teach “more” writing and reading in every subject. The more frequently students encounter literacy, the better they become at their reading and writing skills.
Also by introducing students to different forms of texts, such as books and magazines, you build the foundations of engaged successful readers.
The book provides a vast amount of activities and methods that can be applied in a classroom.
The book also provides strategies on how to incorporate methods into a classroom so that students are engages and enthusiastic.
The activities range from whole group, independent, and small group.
Visual Examples of Activities
Information is inclusive of all students:
Accounts for a diverse classroom: In regards to students from low income, single parent families, and racial and ethnic minority groups
This book has helped me in many ways
Building Reading Fluency
- For Reading & Writing
- For Reading
The book would benefit from incorporating findings and statistics on the effectiveness of the techniques provided.
There is also a lack of statistical data within the book.
In addition including case study examples would have made the book more effective.
Throughout the book there are
boxes with suggestions and resources for:
"English Language Learners"
"Acting" the book
What they are reading is too hard
They read less
Teachers interrupt/corrects the student while the student is reading - Student then
What should teachers do
instead of helping say the correct word? Also how can teachers encourage self correction?
Why some students struggle to read?
I would challenge the aspect of not providing children with the meaning of a word before a reading. The authors stress
the importance of knowing the meaning of vocabularies towards fluency and comprehension, yet leaves the meaning of the word till after.
The book provides many examples of activities yet does not provide reasoning behind why they would be effective.
An area of the book I agree with is the concept of modeling - Modeling both writing and reading to students
Taught me how to differentiate instructions for different types of learners
Importance of increasing student exposure to reading and writing
How to differentiate literacy
Ex. Through Literature Circles
This book helped develop my understanding of literacy, and I would strongly recommend this book to other teachers and educators.
As an educator I will incorporate the different techniques suggested by the book to help build literacy and language skills in every subject

Speaking to the Nephites, the Lord Jesus announced, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, thus hath the Father commanded me—that I should give unto this people (the Nephites, the seed of Lehi and ancient Joseph) this land for their inheritance. And then the words of the prophet Isaiah shall be fulfilled, which say: Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God. (3Nephi 16: 16-20)
Only after the Lord officially gives the land of promise to the offspring of Lehi and ancient Joseph, only then will "the words of Isaiah be fulfilled" that speak about the latter day Zion.
The writings of Isaiah are not always easy to follow and understand. The spirit of the Holy Ghost is required to help lend understanding to the words of all the prophets, perhaps especially Isaiah. Nephi counseled, (2Nephi 25: 7-8)
7... in the days that the prophecies of Isaiah shall be fulfilled men shall know of a surety, at the times when they shall come to pass.
8 Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men, and he that supposeth that they are not, unto them will I speak particularly, and confine the words unto mine own people; for I know that they shall be of great worth unto them in the last days; for in that day shall they understand them; wherefore, for their good have I written them.
Nephi recognized the particular worth of the words of Isaiah for his "own people" in the latter days. It was "for their good" that Nephi included the words of Isaiah in his record. Nephi is putting the latter day remnant of his seed, "the remnant of Israel" on notice that they, (and we,) ought to pay close attention to the words of Isaiah in order to understand the course of things in the latter days.
If we have eyes to see and ears to hear, much of what Isaiah wrote pertains to the latter day remnant seed of ancient Joseph, the Lamanites, and fulfillment of latter day prophesy concerning them. Isaiah seems to have had a particular interest in, and spoke directly to, the latter day Lineage of Joseph and their role in establishing Zion.
In March 1838, Elias Higbee asked Joseph Smith questions regarding some of the statements of Isaiah regarding Zion. Joseph's responses to brother Higbee's questions inform us that Isaiah had the remnant of Israel in mind when he prophesied of the latter day Zion. Brother Higbee asks:
What is meant by the command in Isaiah, 52d chapter, 1st verse, which saith: Put on thy strength, O Zion—and what people had Isaiah reference to?
Joseph Smith responds:
"He (Isaiah) had reference to those whom God should call in the last days, who should hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel; and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage; also to return to that power which she had lost. (D&C 113: 7-8)
Those who God will call in the last days to bring again Zion, those responsible for the redemption of Israel, those who have that right by lineage as Joseph implied, ARE the remnant seed of Lehi and ancient Joseph, "the remnant of Israel" of the Book of Mormon.
The following words of the Lord Jesus from the Book of Mormon designate that particular lineage, the remnant of Jacob, (Israel) as the rightful builders of Zion and those who will facilitate the "redemption of Israel" as Joseph Smith pointed out in his response to Elias Higbee. The Lord's words: (3Nephi 16: 23-25)
23 And they (gentiles) shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.
24 And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem.
25 And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst.
When Isaiah wrote, "Put on thy strength, O Zion," he was referring to the latter day remnant seed of Jacob, (Joseph, through Joseph's grandsons Lehi and Ishmael) who have right by lineage to:
- "Hold the power of priesthood to bring again Zion, and the redemption of Israel;"
- "and to put on her strength is to put on the authority of the priesthood, which she, Zion, has a right to by lineage;"
- "also to return to that power which she had lost."
Concerning this last point made by Joseph Smith about the latter day Zion people, do we need to be reminded that in a former day, the offspring of Lehi had already established and lived in a Zion society? For nearly two hundred years following the personal ministry of Christ among them, the seed of Lehi (and ancient Joseph) lived in a Zion society. Christ dwelled among them. (4Nephi) For the latter day remnant of Israel, the building of Zion, the New Jerusalem will in very fact be as Joseph Smith said, "return to that power which she had lost."
Elias Higbee asked a second question:
What are we to understand by Zion loosing herself from the bands of her neck; 2d verse?
Joseph Smith's response:
"We are to understand that the scattered remnants are exhorted to return to the Lord from whence they have fallen; which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation. See the 6th, 7th, and 8th verses. The bands of her neck are the curses of God upon her, or the remnants of Israel in their scattered condition among the Gentiles." (D&C 113: 9-10)
Once again, Isaiah makes reference to the remnants of Israel. In this case, Isaiah seems to speak to all the many remnants of Israelite blood scattered around the world. This would include "the remnant of Israel," Joseph's latter day remnant offspring spoken of in the Book of Mormon. In fact, particular meaning should be found in his words as they apply to the latter day remnant of Lehi's offspring. We learn the following about the latter day remnant of Israel from the Book of Mormon. The words of Isaiah are indeed "about" the remnant seed of Lehi and Joseph:
Joseph Smith said:
- "the scattered remnants are exhorted to return to the Lord from whence they have fallen;"
"And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the grafting in of the natural branches through the fulness of the Gentiles, is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto the children of men, then shall the fulness of the gospel of the Messiah come unto the Gentiles, and from the Gentiles unto the remnant of our seed—And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people of the Lord; and then shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers, and also to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him; wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and the very points of his doctrine, that they may know how to come unto him and be saved. (1Nephi 15: 13-14)
Joseph Smith said:
- "which if they do, the promise of the Lord is that he will speak to them, or give them revelation"
"And then at that day will they (his remnant seed) not rejoice and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? Yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine?" (1Nephi 15: 15)
Joseph Smith said:
"The bands of her neck are the curses of God upon her, or the remnants of Israel in their scattered condition among the Gentiles"
The Lord Jesus said:
"And I will show unto thee, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you; but I will remember my covenant unto you, O house of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fulness of my gospel." (3Nephi 16: 12)
If we are to understand the latter day remnant of Joseph's seed and all the prophecy concerning them in the Book of Mormon, understanding Isaiah's words is required. This is why the Lord Jesus would say: "And now, behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that he must speak also TO the Gentiles. And all things that he spake have been and shall be, even according to the words which he spake." (3Nephi 23: 1-3)

President Obama has apologized to the chairman of the Special Olympics for his late-night talk show quip equating his bowling skills to those of athletes with disabilities.
..."He expressed his disappointment and he apologized in a way that was very moving. He expressed that he did not intend to humiliate this population," Shriver said
On Friday, the top bowler for the Special Olympics said he could beat Obama easily.
"He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300," Michigan's Kolan McConiughey, who is mentally disabled, told The Associated Press. He has bowled five perfect games since 2005.
Good for Obama for apologizing. Let's also note that there was an entire conversation, of which this fragment of a sentence was a tiny fraction, in which our new president demonstrated a real understanding of the plight of the American people as a result of the Republican Depression, and also demonstrated that the Obama administration has a reasonable chance of actually moving things in a very positive direction.
Let me tell you something: Obama is going to be out there all the time, compared to Regan, Bush, the other smarmy republicans who could not really be trusted 'out there' with 'the message' because they were, well, dumb fucks. So folks, get ready for the occasional gaff among a sea of common sense, helpful commentary, hopeful rhetoric, and most uniquely and insanely novel, real policy explanations that are detailed and honest. How strange to hear that coming from the prez zee dent .
Exactly correct. How refreshing to have a real president.
President Obama does seem oblivious to the plights of minorities in America on occasion. <start rant>I am kind of angry on reflection that he didn't just apologize like that to the LGBT community after callously inviting saddlebacker Rick Warren to the Inauguration, but at least he did apologize this time.</end rant dwelling on the past>
On a lighter note, I think bowling has become the President's kryptonite.
From the context, I think you meant gaffe.
Laden fixes 'gaff', still good blogger.
NPR had a show discussing the interview, the commentator said that it was nice that the Pres was lucid. Hilarious, we are happy that the leader of the country can make sense when he speaks. Oh how your standards fall after 8 years of dictatorship!
I was very impressed with one of President Obama's live press conferences (the only one I've seen), where he addressed the press, with a touch of humor, a touch of impatience and a large helping of articulate intelligence, as adults and above all as people.

I've taken to developing a phrase for myself each day to help me get through the day. I really wrote "Today will be an impactful day," under 1/6/2021 in my notebook this morning ... this is not what I meant, Universe, but I'd be lying if I said I was surprised. If you are, it might be time to read So You Want to Talk About Race.
I typically pour more than a day’s worth into my writing and today I only have a few hours, so please offer me some grace as I begin this series on our problematic history in the United States with mostly quotes and references. I'll continue to add my personal thoughts as we work through these issues together, we're not going to solve it all today. And I do say we, for as Angela Davis says, "It is a mistake to assume that these issues can be resolved on an individual level."
On Planet-Jordan, we are about intersectional environmentalism. Leah Thomas defines this as, "An inclusive version of environmentalism that advocates for both the protection of people and the planet. It identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the Earth are interconnected. It brings injustices done to the most vulnerable communities, and the Earth, to the forefront and does not minimize or silence social inequality. Intersectional environmentalism advocates for justice for people + the planet." Racial justice is environmental justice.
Today we are discussing systemic racism, white supremacy, and terrorism in the United States. We are not discussing protesting or rioting, we are discussing terrorism.
Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.” -Albus Dumbledore
I recently asked on my IG feed what everyone has been unlearning and was astounded by the number of people who came to me about racism. Let's talk about it.
What is it? According to sociologist Joe Feagin, "Systemic racism includes the complex array of antiblack practices, the unjustly gained political-economic power of whites, the continuing economic and other resource inequalities along racial lines, and the white racist ideologies and attitudes created to maintain and rationalize white privilege and power. Systemic here means that the core racist realities are manifested in each of society’s major parts [...] each major part of U.S. society—the economy, politics, education, religion, the family—reflects the fundamental reality of systemic racism."
I don't know about you, but I was (unintentionally by my parents and very intentionally by the system) raised in a whitewashed environment.
What is whitewashing?
“The world is black, the world is white.” So go the lyrics to a 1970s number one hit about racism by the band Three Dog Night. Unfortunately, the world according to movies, TV, music, art, literature, and history often isn’t even that complex—it tends to be almost 100 percent white. Racism and White supremacy factor into this monochromatic alternate universe, where white dominates the big picture, pushing other colors to the sidelines or out of the frame entirely. When historians, creators, and storytellers do this, they’re guilty of whitewashing, in modern vernacular. According to one Merriam-Webster definition, to whitewash is to “gloss over or cover-up,” which, in a sense, is what the racial form of whitewashing does. It creates a White world where sins against people of color, including Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, Latinos, and other minority groups cease to matter because, in revisionist history and reality, those minority groups barely exist. Race is a divisive concept." - Reader's Digest
Psychotherapist and Suicidologist, Janel Cubbage, said it well, BIPOC are not minorities, they have been minoritized. They are not underrepresented, they have been historically excluded. I'm gonna say this part louder for the people in the back: LANGUAGE MATTERS!
"Racism is a spectrum, with varying degrees of unconscious & learned behaviors reinforced by society every day. It's not: either you're racist or you're not. It's to what degree are you prejudiced, against whom, and why?" - Padma Lakshmi, via Twitter
Matt Bernstein expands on this, "all white people benefit from the same institutionalized racism. This does not mean all white people hate people of color - it means that we all still benefit from their enduring oppression. We benefit from Eurocentric school curriculums, we benefit from racial profiling, we benefit from racist jokes."
Let's touch on feminism for a moment, shall we? Which is just equality - for those of you that are terrified of the word. I'm not going to eat you, men, I just want you to know I could if I wanted to. But that's neither here nor there - what I want to focus on is equality. My toxic trait is reading approximately 12 books at a time. It's what makes me a pain in the ass and charming at the same time, what can I say? At this current moment, one of those books is Feminist Fight Club by Jessica Bennett. In the introduction (no, I haven't gotten past the introduction yet, get off my back) she discusses the difficulty of recognizing sexism now versus sexism in the past. Before, "when a guy pinched your ass or told you that 'women don't write at Newsweek' it certainly wasn't fair, but at least you knew it wasn't fair. It was clear-cut discrimination - sexism with a legal definition and a thumbprint - not simply a "feeling"...like the microaggressions that people of color endure daily - racism masked as subtle insults or dismissals".
Men used to overtly accost women, but that isn't acceptable anymore. Now it's, " watching a man instinctively turn to a woman to take notes in a meeting," (this literally happened to me a week ago), "... It's following all the rules, learning all the way in, and still having to worry about being perceived as "too aggressive" when you display the behavior required of a person in charge. It's knowing that a colleague calling another woman "ambitious" is the opposite of a compliment...It's having to work twice as hard to prove you're once as good, or three, four, five times as hard if you happen to be female and of color."
I like what @floralspells has to say about BLM, "Matter" is the bare minimum. Black lives are worthy, beloved, and needed."
Narcissism “is not a right-wing or left-wing problem, this is not an older generation or younger generation problem, this is not an Eastern or Western problem, this is a human problem.” - Mark Manson (Everything is F*cked, Chapter 3)
Today, white feelings were held in higher regard than black lives. Today we experienced terrorism, "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." I join Blair Imani in saying, "It's okay to completely ignore and disregard 'perspectives' & opinions that are rooted in erasing other people's humanity. It's okay to decide someone isn't worth listening to if they are saying harmful things. That's okay."
"As our struggles mature, they produce new ideas, new issues, and new terrains on which we engage in the quest for freedom." - Angela Davis, Freedom Is A Constant Struggle
I plan to add more to this later this week - this barely scratches the surface as to what I have to say on all of this, but for now, I must rest. My heart is with you.
Last thing I'll say: Read books by black authors and buy them from black-owned bookstores. Diversify your media, it's 2021, for Goddesses' sake. McKenzie Jean-Philippe of Oprah Magazine took the time to make a comprehensive list broken down by state for you, find it here: 125 Black-Owned Bookstores in America That Amplify the Best in Literature.

Kofuki-Imo, a combination of sweet and savoury ingredients capable of making simple potatoes a rich flavor with a unique texture.
Today’s recipe doesn’t need much explanation, but don’t be fooled by the few ingredients and the easiness of execution.
These sweet and sour potatoes are really delicious.
I found the recipe by looking through the recipe book of the fantastic Harumi Kurihara.
Do you know her? Thanks to her, already when I was in Italy, I got closer to the flavors of Asian cuisine, even before I moved here.
Harumi is a culinary writer who based her career on simple “home cooking”. No impossible or too expensive ingredients.
Her goal is to give everyone, no matter where in the world we live, the chance to bring on our tables dishes famous here in Japan.
Starting as a cookbook author, she became soon a host and presenter of some TV programs until she became a giant of the “Daily Lifestyle” thanks to her chain of stores.
In short, let’s say that her name grow a lot over the years, and even if this can make some people turn their noses up, for me she remains a good “先生” (“Sensei, Teacher).
I kanji in cui viene scritta la ricetta di oggi, ne descrivono il sapore e la consistenza 甘辛粉吹きいも
甘 – Sweer
辛 – Salty
粉吹き – Powdered
いも – Potatoes
Roughly-cut pieces of potatoes, boiled and toasted in a pan with soy sauce, sugar and butter.
The result is a sweet and sour dish with a powdery texture perfect as a snack, as an accompanying dish and why not, also as an element of our Obento.
Here is the recipe.
600 g Potatoes
3 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
20 gr Butter
In a bowl, whisk together the Soy Sauce and Sugar. The only thing that you have to pay attention is make the sugar melt in the soy sauce
Peel the potatoes and cut them
Given the recipe, I bought small potatoes, and I just cut them in half. If you have large or medium potatoes, you can cut them in four. Try to create pieces of similar size so that they cook uniformly
Wash the potatoes and put them in a pot covered with water. It is not necessary to salt the water, as we will add the flavors later
Light the fire on a high flame and place your pot of potatoes and water without lid.When the water boils, cover with the lid and lower the flame. Let the potatoes simmer for 12 minutes, checking from time to time with the help of a toothpick, the state of cooking on the inside.When the water boils, cover with the lid and lower the flame.
Let the potatoes simmer for 12 minutes, checking from time to time with the help of a toothpick the state of cooking on the inside. (The toothpick should easily)
When the water boils, cover with the lid and lower the flame. Let the potatoes simmer for 12 minutes, checking from time to time with the help of a toothpick the state of cooking on the inside.
(The toothpick should penetrate easily, without encountering any kind of resistance).
Once they’re ready, drain the potatoes and put them back on the stove. Let them cook for a minute on a low heat, as during this time we need to let evaporate the moisture on their surface.
While you shake them with the movements of the pot add the mix of soy sauce and sugar.
(Try to touch the potatoes as less as possible or you will risk to break them or crumble)
Turn off the fire and add the butter. Let it melt naturally on your potatoes and mix them gently with the help of a spoon.
Serve still warm!

THE DAILY GASP: Ciara for Vogue Paris
Dec 08, 2011 - by Lester Brathwaite
I've always loved rooting for an underdog and since her debut in 2004, Ciara's been steadily churning out booty-shaking hits while never quite attaining the level of success of say, a Rihanna, a Beyoncé or even an Ashanti. Luckily, Givenchy's brooding creative director Riccardo Tisci is similarly obsessed with Cici and, known for his love of dogs, has annointed her one of his muses. Fashion has fully-embraced the songstress with a stunner of an editorial in Vogue Italia now Ciara returns with this shot from Vogue Paris.
I'm getting a little, or a lot, of Janet Jackson circa "You Want This" slash TLC circa "Waterfalls" right now. Which means I'm fully on board. Hopefully there's more to come but until then, do yourself a favor and check out this performance of "Love. Sex. Magic." featuring one Ms. Justin Timberlake from SNL to see what all the hype's about.

Every conference game UConn has played on the road, it's been a season-high in crowd, even Houston's 4035 on New Year's Eve was a season high. There were sell-outs at SMU, a 19,000 plus crowd at Memphis and then today's game against Rutgers, a sell-out and black court at the RAC in the final meeting as conference mates.
Rutgers hasn't sold out the RAC in two years, but with the Huskies coming the final time it's going to be a packed arena in one of the better college venues in the Northeast.
UConn comes in at 15-4 after a rout of Temple on Tuesday. The Huskies will welcome back Ryan Boatright after he missed Tuesday's game attending the funeral of his cousin.
The Huskies had perhaps their finest game of the year against Temple, with a +15 margin on the boards and easily scoring 90 points from a career-high 31 points from DeAndre Daniels and 27 from Shabazz Napier.
The Huskies will face a Rutgers program that remains substandard. The Scarlet Knights have turned to Eddie Jordan, a former player and NBA coach, to build the program after the Mike Rice fiasco last season.
The Scarlet Knights haven't made the NCAA tournament in decades -- never made it once while it was in the Big East -- and are 8-11, 2-4 in the AAC. Rutgers' last NCAA berth was 1991, when it lost in the first round to Arizona St.
The Scarlet Knights are led by 5-foot-9 guard Myles Mack, who is averaging 16.5 points per game.
The Huskies will host Houston on Jan. 30 before heading out to Cincinnati with a showdown on Feb. 6. The Huskies have become a popular draw in the American, and as the marquee hoops program going forward, UConn better get used to it.

Many clients consider themselves to be crystal clear in their communication with their Great Catch. But, as you know, if they truly want to know how understandable they are, your client should consider taking a clarity inventory. Here are steps that you can tell your client to take to improve their clarity and communication:
Ask for feedback on how clear you really are from two sources: the members of your immediate family and your coworkers. Usually, these members of your inner circle are the most likely people in the world to understand what you are trying to say.
You need only concern yourself with taking a clarity inventory if you seriously want to improve your negotiating skills. This topic is too sensitive and carries too much of a risk for hurt feelings to bother with unless you are serious in your desire to become a top-notch communicator.
If, indeed, you want to build a real edge into your negotiations, sit down quietly with someone you trust. Tell that person that you are trying to improve your ability to communicate clearly. Ask for suggestions. Then listen. Dont correct, defend yourself, or explain.
Your goal is not to instruct the other person on how to understand you better. Your goal is to find out how to communicate better with this individual and with the other people in your life. Even if you believe that the entire communication problem is with the other person, dont let on.
Take notes when people give you feedback. The effort flatters them and gives you something to do, rather than tell them they are wrong. Hearing how unclear you are is difficult. It hurts. You learn you fail far more often than you ever dreamed. This activity is one of the best ways to find out which areas you need to improve to be easily understood.
for Being Clear
If you assign people to complete tasks for you at work, your first task is to clearly tell the person what you want them to do. Easier said than done. Getting results in the workplace has less to do with charisma than with clarity. Here are some hints for maximizing clarity.
Set the climate.
Give the big picture.
Describe the steps of the task.
Get someone to explain his or her strategy for accomplishing the task.
Agree on a date to follow up.
When you speak, ask Did I make myself clear? Ross Perots line during his oh-so-brief presidential campaign was, Are you with me?
Such questions often help both parties proceed more productively. Did I make myself clear? may remind the other person to listen instead of lazily replying yes. If the point is critical, you may ask the other party to repeat the information back to you just to be sure that you are communicating effectively. Assure your counterpart that repeating vital information does not constitute an agreement--just clarification.
Did you have a clear result in mind prior to the communication? If so, what was
Did you plan what you wanted to say? If so, what was it?
Did you communicate your intentions clearly and specifically?
Did you maintain your original intentions in the communication, or did you wander
into other subject areas?
Was your style of delivery consistent with the results you wanted?
What might have you done differently?
did you say "No?" Those are the areas requiring improvement.

If one talks with a fancier long enough, inevitably the subject of the “greying” of our sport comes up. We fret over the future of our respective breeds; club members wring their hands over how to attract new and younger members, and the AKC grapples with finding relevancy with a generation raised on the “adopt-don’t-shop” mantra. It’s natural to wonder how best to attract the young (as if they were oddities being lured into a humane trap with the most effective bait) when the future of the sport has wrinkles.
In reality, the fancy already has a young demographic. We call them junior handlers, and while we talk a good game about the importance of supporting them, the fact is that we could do more. Junior Finals should be part of the evening line-up for televised dog shows not only to show how much we value them, but to attract young viewers to the sport; Prize money at premier shows should get serious (as in “college tuition-money” serious), and more clubs might consider “adopting” a junior by helping mentor and/or sponsor their career.
Every enterprise needs an occasional renaissance, and our sport is no different, but as I see it, there’s a more compelling reason to encourage our juniors than to safeguard the future of our sport. We need them to help safeguard the future of our society.
Living among us are young adults who, in their short lives thus far, have been rewarded for simply taking breath, figuratively speaking. As children, they’ve received soccer and little league trophies not for having the best record in their league, but for participating. Some attended schools where letter grades have been eliminated as “relics from a less enlightened age,” and because Valedictorian and Salutatorian honors have come to be seen as encouraging an “unhealthy” level of competition, many high schools and colleges have dispensed with them. A Columbia University survey in 2007 found that 85 percent of American parents thought it was important to tell their kids that they’re smart, as opposed to telling them that hard work, a good disposition, or consistent effort was valued at least as much. Many Millennials have grown up in a world where self-esteem trumps actual accomplishment, “trigger warnings,” must accompany their forays into the real world, and being offended is to be avoided at all costs.
It doesn’t seem to have worked out. A growing body of research indicates that the self-esteem movement has hurt kids more than help them. A review of over 150 praise studies by Reed College and Stanford scholars determined that highly praised students become risk-averse and lack perceived autonomy. No surprise, then, that we now have the “Snowflake Generation:” Young adults so easily offended that they demand “safe zones” at college campuses where they are protected from words and ideas they don’t like. These people are genuinely distressed by ideas that run at odds with their worldview. Rather than embrace a different point of view, they insist that history be rewritten to eliminate the bad guys, and that life come at them with warning bells to ensure a stress-free future.
The fact that some Millennials have became this way is rooted in how their parents raised them, coupled with society’s tolerance of their hypersensitivity. Some parents have gone to ludicrous lengths to eliminate all risk and disappointment from their children’s lives, and worse, they’ve done it to spare themselves the unpleasantness of dealing with their children’s rejection, disappointment, or failure – some of the basic “food groups” of just being alive.
The end result is a group of individuals who lack the resiliency children learn in a competitive environment such as junior showmanship. Early on, juniors learn about winning and losing, team work, effort, competition, and sooner or later, the importance of balance. They must take criticism from strangers, fellow competitors, friends, and parents. They don’t always win, and learn that life isn’t always fair. In time, they’ll learn about good breeding practices where they’ll inevitably encounter words like, “bitch,” semen,” “penis,” and other steamy biological words, and they’ll be able to talk about breeding without blushing or giggling foolishly. Contrast this with Harvard law students who in 2014 asked professors not to teach rape law, or even use the word “violate” because it might distress the students. Don’t we all want an attorney who can’t say the actual word of a crime committed against us without falling apart?
The world of Junior Showmanship isn’t perfect, or at times, even pretty: Children can encounter stage parents (both their own, and that of the competition), snarky competitors, biased judges, ugly comments, spectator scrutiny, and any manner of things that can, and do go wrong. There is room for criticism: Some juniors compete with a finished champion that could show itself and thereby miss the point of what junior showmanship is supposed to be about, but guess what? The show ring is a lot like real life, and few of us emerge out of it unscathed. Some of us have advantages from the start, some of us don’t. The more “reality” that youngsters encounter in the somewhat protected environment of a show ring, the more resilient they’ll be in a big bad world that comes without safety net.
In 1999, the junior handler in my life entered a show ring with her dog and lined up next to kids who’d been her regular competition for the previous few years. For a few of them, it was the first show they’d entered since a shooting at the school they attended, Columbine High School. Their world that day had been a very, very bad place. Some of these kids “bended” in the weeks that followed, but not one broke, and the group hug that occurred in a familiar place surrounded by instant therapy dogs had become their safe zone.
In adversity, a “Snowflake” will be most apt to run and hide, but I’d lay odds that a junior handler will say, “Bring it.” I’ll put my future in the hands of that junior over the melt-on-contact sensibilities of a “Snowflake” any day.
