Who or Whom?
If you're puzzled by when to use who versus whom, you first need to understand that both words serve as pronouns. Pronouns are parts of speech that take the place of other nouns. For example, instead of saying "Bob's hat", you could instead say, "his hat", and 'his' would be the pronoun.
The next thing that you need to consider when deciding between who and whom is whether you need a subjective or an objective pronoun. Starting with the basic sentence form, almost every sentence has a subject, a verb, and an object. For example, in "I like apples", I is the subject, like is the verb, and apples is the object, or the clause that receives or is influenced by the action of the verb. I'll give you another example: "Royal Roads University is in Colwood." In that sentence, Royal Roads University is the subject, is (which is a form of the verb "to be") is the verb, and Colwood is the object. In case you're curious, "in" is a preposition, but that's a topic for another tip on another day!
If you're attempting to use who or whom instead of the subject or object of the sentence, the pronoun needs to perform the same function as the original noun. Accordingly, when deciding whether to use who, which is a subjective pronoun, or whom, which is the objective pronoun, consider the word being replaced by either pronoun. For example, in "who is speaking?", the speaker is asking about the subject of the sentence: "Who is speaking? Mark is speaking." Therefore, who is the subjective pronoun. However, in "Margaret is speaking with whom?", the speaker asks to have the object identified: "Margaret is speaking with whom? Margaret is speaking with Mark." Therefore, whom is the objective pronoun. Strictly speaking, the correct form of the preceding question is "With whom is Margaret speaking?"; however, for the purposes of the example, it's clearer to have whom at the end of the sentence in order to show whom's objective role.
There you have it: use who when you need a subjective pronoun; use whom when you require an objective pronoun. If you're still (or more) confused, you can find more information at "Who or Whom? That or Which?", there's a great Grammar Girl posting on the topic, and you're welcome to contact the Writing Centre with any questions.

A Sunburn Myth That Is Damaging Your Skin
- On August 17, 2018
Believing even one sunburn myth can put you on the fast track to skin cancer, wrinkles, and age spots. Protect yourself by learning the facts. Let's break down a little sun science before we get started.
The sunlight that reaches us is made up of two types of harmful rays: long wave ultraviolet A (UVA) and short wave ultraviolet B (UVB). UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, the skin's thickest layer. Unprotected exposure can lead to premature skin aging and wrinkling (photoaging), and suppression of the immune system.
UVB rays will usually burn the superficial layers of your skin. However, just because you did not get a sunburn, doesn't mean you are protected In fact, while it's true UVB rays are more severe in different locations, during certain seasons or at specific times of the day (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), clouds are no match to UVA light, which means those damaging rays penetrate through and can contribute to future sun damage.
MYTH: You're only in the sun for 30 minutes and it is not a hot day. You don't need sunscreen.
You only need sunscreen if you're wearing a bikini or going on a long hike, right? We hate to break it to you, but this is NOT TRUE. Most people practice the habit of brushing and flossing their teeth twice a day and don't even think twice about their routine. Why isn't sun protection the same way? Whether you commute an hour to a nine-to-five job or you're always on the go, sunscreen should be a part of your daily glam routine. Face, neck, arms, and legs – anything exposed – are susceptible to sun damage regardless if you feel the sun is intense enough or not.
According to a recent article published by ASDS, "The increase in skin pigment called melanin, which causes your skin to tan, is a sign of damage. Once the skin is exposed to UV radiation, it increases the production of melanin in an attempt to protect the skin from further damage." An increase of melanin may cause your skin to darken over the following two days after sun exposure. Each time your skin is unprotected from the sun, the risk for developing sun-related illness increases and over time, this can lead to aged-skin or skin cancer. According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), a natural, healthy tan (meaning a tan obtained directly from the sun) does not exist. Any sort of suntan that changes your complexion from one hue to another will potentially cause damage down the road. Yikes!
We all have skin. There's no need to be jealous of that friend who doesn't burn because we're all on a level playing field and we are all susceptible to sun damage and skin cancer, no matter your skin color!
So here's the deal: Wear sunscreen every day and reapply often. Do it for the love of your skin and for the benefits you'll experience 10 years from now, like being the one who looks younger than all of your friends! Stay protected every day with one of COOLA's organic sunscreen products that you can feel good about putting on your skin. Our products incorporate a Farm to Face® sourcing philosophy, using the freshest and most natural ingredients whenever possible. We formulate with Plant Protection®, natural photo-protectors including Algae, Red Raspberry Seed Oil, and Plankton to help naturally boost our formulas. These high-performance plant-based boosters offer additional protection and result in lightweight, non-irritating formulas. Say goodbye to that sticky, greasy feeling!

A microfluidic droplet generator setup allows you to generate highly reproducible micro sized droplets. Traditional methods to create these emulsions are based on turbulent and chaotic processes giving you little control over the droplet size and amount. Our chips can be used as the core of your droplet generator setup, allowing you to get exactly the same droplet size for all droplets in your emulsion, and you can even tweak the droplet size to be exactly right for you.
Our chips can be combined with our standard chip holders in order to easily integrate them with the rest of your setup. Most pumps, flowmeters and microscopes can be connected to these holders with almost no effort. If you don't have a setup yet, we made a video for some inspiration, which is linked below.

Yes, In their infinite wisdom the City has dispatched the snow removal crews to my neighbourhood. There is a snowblower filling tandem dump trucks and bob cats hammering on the glaciers and snow banks along the streets, flashing blue and amber lights so I'm just sitting up in bed with my lap top. It is a good thing though since by Feb. 27 we had exceeded our annual snowfall and the congestion caused by the snow banks is very bad literally turning two lane streets into one lane. It poses a real public safety risk in residential areas as Firetrucks and Ambulances can not get down the streets.
Last year I bought a "Astro Jet 325hp" and a "396 Pontiac" air cleaner decal from "Used parts guy" GT Enterprises off Ebay for a chrome air cleaner cover for the Grande. I was accidentally shipped two of the "Astro Jet 325 hp" decals so I have an extra of that one still at home and applied the two to my chrome air cleaner lid. It looks sharp and my origianl air cleaner still have the original decals. But, I just checked Ebay and this seller is no longer registered? The guy had like 1395 recorded ebay transactions but has since disappeared. I am happy with these repro decals and he had a ton of different Canadian Pontiac decals. I am pretty sure it shipped from Canada at the time. The post topic caused me to revisit this ebay transaction and I was surprised that the seller disappeared.

I agree with a dual chamber master cylinder upgrade. The thing about singles is that they work great until they suddenly don't - then you have nothing. Happened to a guy I knew with a '66 Coronet, but lucky for him it happened in his garage after a day of driving around - pulled into his garage, then his foot went to the floor and he had zero brakes. It was sudden and unexpected.
At least with a dual chamber you would have two of four brakes should you blow a flex hose or a wheel cylinder seal. Something to think about.
Maybe if you've replaced all the seals and rubber parts recently it's not a concern, but if it still has its original survivor parts a lot of deterioration can happen over 53 years.
It's hard to imagine you having a 427 in there and not opening it up occasionally, but you probably have more self control than I do!

Thats funny, I was going to mention the spring but in a different way.
It was switched to the more hidden rearward orientation to reduce wear on the throttle shaft.
Out of sight and safely out of mind

Former Wichita State star, Lacey native Erik Stevenson joining Washington Huskies
A local hoops product is coming home to join the Washington Huskies.
Former Wichita State guard Erik Stevenson, a Lacey, Washington native, announced Wednesday his commitment to UW. Stevenson had entered the transfer portal two weeks ago.
The Seattle Times first reported earlier Wednesday that Stevenson was headed to Montlake.
Stevenson, listed at 6-3 and 198 pounds, was one of Wichita State's top players in the 2019-20 season as a sophomore. He averaged 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 24.7 minutes. He was the Shockers' second leading scorer.
💜💛🐶 pic.twitter.com/eSc6CkdMAi— Erik Stevenson (@ej_stevenson5) March 25, 2020
Before committing to the Huskies, Stevenson had garnered interest from other Power-5 schools. Gonzaga, Oregon, San Diego State and Maryland were also on his final list.
Stevenson starred at Timberline High School in Lacey, where he was rated a three-star recruit and the No. 4 player in Washington state in the 2018 class, according to 247sports. Stevenson committed to Wichita State over offers from Washington, Washington State, LSU and others.
It's not clear if Stevenson will be able to play for UW next season. Under current NCAA rules, transfers must sit out a year unless they receive a hardship waiver. But the NCAA could approve a change allowing first-time transfers to be eligible immediately.
Stevenson is a big pick up for the Huskies, who disappointed this past season. Despite having a nationally-heralded recruiting class, they finished with a 15-17 overall record, including a 5-13 Pac-12 mark.

Based in China, ZhongAn Online P&C Insurance Co. ("ZhongAn") has taken the insurance world by storm by offering a series of unusual and unique insurance policies, such as those aimed at supporters during the 2014 World Cup by insuring against self-inflicted liver damage. Founded in 2013, ZhongAn is still an infant in the world of insurance, however, being innovative in their approach, they are already valued at around $2 billion.
The insurance industry is, like most of our world commerce, entering a new era known as "the fourth industrial revolution" or "Industry 4.0". This new era is built on new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data. Innovative, forward thinking companies like ZhongAn are capitalizing on the advances in the industry and reaping the rewards. Moreover, much of this innovation centers on big data and its usability.
Data has always been the central pivot upon which the insurance sector works, and big data is effectively moving that pivot. The power of big data is being used in the insurance sector as a transforming movement. With analysts like IDC predicting that big data and business analytics revenues will be valued at $187 billion by 2019, the world of insurance is already on top of this, creating new products and services, and enhancing existing ones by using the big data movement.
How Big Data is Transforming Insurance
The insurance industry is fundamentally about understanding and managing risk. The more information you have about any given area of life, the more you understand the risks behind that area. Insurers have always used data to predict outcome and set a price on a policy. Previously, this was done in a more manual manner by using internal data. Now, data is used from multiple external sources and generated ad-hoc. Also, the U.S. government has recently made government statistics publicly available through their 'open data' initiative. This provides insurers several layers of data to add into the big data equation, allowing them to implement smarter underwriting.
"Data has always been the central pivot upon which the insurance sector works, and big data is effectively moving that pivot"
Pooling multiple external data sources is one thing, but having deep insight into the dynamics of these data is key to actually making full use of it. This is where big data analytics comes into play, being as important as the data itself.
Big Data Examples Within the Insurance Industry
One of the best ways to look at how big data analytics is impacting the insurance industry is through examples. There are some insurance areas that are being used as early adopters of technology in the big data insurance revolution. For example:
Car Insurance: The car industry and auto insurance is an area that insurance companies are focusing in on. Some insurance organizations across the world, including AIG, Allianz, and AXA, are using driver behavioral analytics to create tailored insurance packages.
AIG offers drivers an Internet-enabled app called 'XLNT Driver', which records driving performance and scoring you on journeys completed. It, then, shares these data with AIG in the Cloud, allowing them to create tailored insurance packages, ultimately offering a better insurance package and encouraging safer driving.
AXA offers the 'DriveSafe' app for drivers under 24. The app records journeys and shares journey data through an Internet-enabled app with AXA. The data generated by the app sends AXA journey information showing your ability to drive safely; for example, keeping within the speed limit. Using these scores, AXA can, then, offer insurance discounts for drivers.
Both examples above work on the principle of sharing data for something back—i.e., creating value for the consumer. This principle is borne out by research that is carried out by Pew Research, who found that data sharing was deemed acceptable if a 'deal' was in place, such as saving money.
Health Insurance: Healthcare has been an early adopter in the big data space.The healthcare data analytics marketis projected to be worth $24.5 billion by 2021.With all this big data being drawn in from a myriad of health devices, including IoT devices such as health wearable's, these data are well-positioned to be utilized by the insurance sector offering premium discounts for active people. Developments in big data analytics, coupled with increasing healthcare costs associated with increased fraud and abuse, have created the perfect storm for the healthcare insurance industry, encouraging personalized health insurance products.
The use of big data analytics in healthcare is already showing great success. Big data analytics was the reason behind a saving of over $210 million in fraudulent health claims. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) used big data analytics to identify inappropriate payments using analytics algorithms to analyze billing patterns. Additionally,platforms like the HumanAPI, which facilitates real-time access to healthcare data from a myriad of sources, healthcare (and insurers within the industry) will have access to even more datasets, building more accurate pictures of health patterns, allowing in turn more accurate personalized health insurance policies.
Big Data and AI in the Insurance Industry
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning is not a new concept, as it has been around for several decades. But it has made progress in recent years with the likes of Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, all having dedicated AI labs. AI and big data are being hailed as the next generation insurance tool for predictive analytics. Insurers like Zurich and AIG are already on the AI bandwagon expecting AI to augment and improve on big data analytics. AI and Machine Learning open up even more opportunities in insurance to collect data and analyze it in a smart way. In a recent interview with George Argesanu, from AIG, he said that "Machine Learning will enable us to "see" and hopefully, prevent an accident before it happens by recognizing the patterns in the driving behavior, traffic, and road conditions."
PwC, in their white paper AI in Insurance: Hype or Reality?, commented on the use of AI in insurance stating that "AI's most profound impact could well result from its ability to identify trends and emerging risks, and assess risks for individuals, corporations, and lines of business."
With insight such as that described above, insurers will have a powerful tool in AI for creating even more accurate and individualized products, and in doing so, reducing their risk.
Revolution, But With Evolution–The Security Conundrum
Big data is offering some advantages to the insurance industry. Big data offers insight into customers' habits, allowing insurers to make more accurate risk predictions based on individual behavior patterns. Having more data on patterns of behavior also means that fraud detection is more accurate. Ultimately, understanding and applying behavioral analytics, based on very large sample sizes, results in a more seamless way of managing the lifecycle of the claim.
But, while we celebrate this achievement in bringing positive disruption to the insurance industry, we must keep in mind that these data that we collect can be a double-edged sword. Data is power in the world of cybercrime; big data may reduce the risks associated with insurance, but it can increase the risks associated with privacy and cybersecurity.

Health department describes a 'hazardous and unsanitary' Chieftain
State Department of Health officials blasted the Chieftain Motel in May for "numerous deficiencies (that) created a hazardous and unsanitary environment for guests."
Kitsap County prosecutors are using the health department's report as part of its case for shuttering the troubled property on National Avenue. The motel has remained without a key license from the state since March 31, 2011, in part because the health department denied its latest attempt to get one due to poor conditions there.
A hearing has been set for Oct. 9 in Kitsap County Superior Court.
State Department of Health officials listed a number of accusations about the property's conditions following a visit there in March to determine whether the motel could receive its transient accommodation license. The license was denied, with officials citing numerous problems including:
?Four rooms were infested with bedbugs.
?All rooms inspected had "grimy and unsanitary light switches," in violation of state code.
?"Unsanitary and sanitary" items in bags and carts used by housekeeping staff were "commingled."
?Six rooms had no mattress pads on their beds in violation of state code.
?Nine rooms had at least one smoke detector that did not work.
-In two rooms the phones were inoperable.
?Two rooms had ceilings with holes in them, others had sagging ceilings caused by water leaks.
?One room's carpet was "completely saturated with water." Two other rooms had "filthy" carpets that smelled of a foul odor.
?One bathroom had a corner covered in black-colored mold. Another had mold growing in the caulk seal around the bathtub. Two rooms had toilets that contained excrement.
?In one room, an electrical wall heater had been pulled loose from the wall and was being held up by a cushioned chair, constituting a fire hazard.
?Three rooms had box spring sets that were urine stained; one had blood stains.
?Trash cans were "found full and overflowing all around the property."
?The railings on upper floor walkways measured 28 inches, below the state required minimum of 36 inches.
City officials had already eyed the property as a chronic nuisance and had begun working with management to find ways to slow the tide of police calls there. Officers had responded there 78 times in the first eight months of the year. The county and city attorney's office, who say the property also lacks a city business license, have vowed to work together in closing the property until managers there are back in compliance with state and local law.
A managing partner for Moteri Management, which has run the property for Westside Community Bank in Tacoma since its previous owners foreclosed on the property in May, said his company is working to get the license and was disappointed to learn of the civil action filed by county prosecutors.
"We have done a significant amount of work there," Moteri managing partner Hari Ghadia said.
Moteri took over the property in June and has been running it for Pierce County-based Westside Community Bank, which bought the Chieftain in a foreclosure auction in May. Ghadia said they've added security cameras premises and are working to fumigate all the rooms as part of improvements to the property.
Operating the motel without a transient accommodation license is a criminal offense ? a misdemeanor ? under state law. Kitsap County Deputy Prosecutor Ione George, who is handling the case, could not say whether they are being considered.
"At this juncture, no final decision has been rendered regarding criminal charges," she said.

Theatre and cinema De Toneelschuur, in Haarlem, Netherlands, recently added two Yamaha CL1 mixing consoles to its digital mixing inventory.
The current building was opened in 2003 and features two theatre spaces and two cinemas. Yamaha has long been a manufacturer of choice for the theatre, having used one of the first DMC1000 consoles in the Netherlands as well as other Yamaha products such as the 02R, 02R96, DM2000 digital consoles and a range of digital audio processing equipment.
The CL1 systems were supplied and installed by Amsterdam-based dealer Audiopro. Pim van den Heuvel (pictured), the sound designer and engineer at the venue, explains: "Choosing Yamaha consoles again ensured that we bought reliability, ease of use, acceptance and compatibility."
"As a long time Yamaha user, we also have many MY cards for different protocols – ADAT, AES/EBU, analogue, the Dugan-MY16 auto microphone mixing interface and so on – which can all be used with the CL1," continued van den Heuvel.
A Yamaha DM2000V2 digital mixer plus two Rio1608-Ds and a DME64N are fitted in the larger performance space with two MY16-AUD interface cards, that allow for smooth integration with the Dante network. "Using a Dante network allows us to be very flexible. Being able to position the R-series i/o units anywhere is very convenient, it allows us to locate audio i/o virtually anywhere in the building," says van den Heuvel.
"We try to keep the systems as straightforward as possible, especially for working with guest engineers. The CL1 user interface is clear, the User Defined Keys make it very comfortable and understandable. Being able to use custom layers for layering the flexible user interface on top of our fixed infrastructure is great. It is easy to explain the CL1 to any guest technician in minutes and it has been happily accepted by everyone."

How to Make an Outdoor Wall Fountain
An outdoor wall fountain on your property adds a touch of class and elegance. Your garden or water treatment will also see a marked improvement. An outdoor wall fountain is pretty much a wall that has water trickling down it. This wall can be made out of many materials like stone or metal and can be any height that you like. Follow the simple instructions below to build your own outdoor wall fountain.
Step 1 - Choose the Right Wall Surface
When you first set out to build an outdoor fountain, you need to choose the right material for the wall. You can pick up a wall that has already been made or you can make one yourself. Choose a surface that offers an easy way for water to slowly trickle down. You can choose a flat surface, but one with pits, dings and curves adds more character to the fountain. A piece of sheet metal is a good choice if you brace it and strike it with a hammer to create a surface that is not perfect.
Step 2 - Prepare
The fountain needs to be protected since it will be outside. Use a mask to cover the vinyl tubes. Drill a hole in the wall where the vinyl tube can be run from. Choose a basin large enough for the wall surface to sit in comfortably. It should also be waterproof. Use the waterproof sealer to cover anything that may not already have been waterproof.
Step 3 - Basic Assembly
Place the basin where you want the outdoor wall fountain to be put. Put the wall surface inside the basin closer to the end but still center enough for it to be stable. Support the wall surface so it doesn't fall down. You can prop it against a tree, wall or attach dowels to the back which can be staked to the ground or nailed to a tree. You can also build a base for the wall and add weights to it. Place the water pump inside the basin behind the wall surface. Place the vinyl tubing over the pump outlet.
Step 4 - Finishing
Drill a hole in the bottom of the plastic container the same size diameter as the vinyl tubing. At the top of the wall surface you will want to install the plastic container with screws or hook. The lip of the container should be even with the top of the wall. Use a shim to prop the plastic up and away from the back of the wall.
Run the other end of the vinyl tubing up the back of the wall and into the hole in the plastic container. Fill the container and basin with water making sure the pump is completely submerged. Turn it on and watch the water flow up the tube and into the container, which will spill over the top of the wall surface and then trickle down back into the basin.

Sieve River
ĀThis river was opened to fly fishermen in 2006. It is a very surprising river that flows on the other side of the Fiesole Hills, approximately 40 minutes away from the center of Florence. This river is also very easy to wade. Fishing here is popular at the beginning of the summer, because of its big caddis hatches. It is very usual to be sight fishing for nice brown trouts that live in these waters. A perfect choice if you count with less fishing time.

"Doorbells are like a magic game, Or the grab-bag at a fair. You never know when you hear one ring who may be waiting there." ~Rachel Field, American poet.
The atmosphere early in the 19th century demanded a busy social life, where it was proper to visit each other often and under strict rules of etiquette. A lady couldn't be seen bashing around a door knocker. Sure, back then it was purely mechanical, but it announced the presence of a guest in style (it was a bell in the house tied to a chain outside of the home, in case you're wondering). Behold, the birth of the doorbell.
We've come a long way, baby. The variety of wired doorbells is quite large. The reason why they remain popular is they are low maintenance, don't require batteries and deliver a steady current, giving it good sound quality. They also last up to ten years longer than wireless doorbells, making them a good investment.
Now there are more types and styles of doorbells than you can imagine. Some are very ornate and decorative like a piece of art and feature unique chimes. Others are plain and use the classic "ding-dong" without any fuss or frills. Doorbells have always been an expression of style, right from the very beginning.
If you need your doorbell replaced, pick one that you like and call SERVIZ. We will send a licensed electrician in Denver to your home for a free estimate. Installation doesn't include new wiring or electrical services, but it does include labor, minor parts and materials, and removal of the old doorbell. When you call SERVIZ, you know you'll get the best of everything. You'll get the best service, the best quality of work and the best price. We can have your doorbell installation done in a jiffy.

The Tale Of The Wolf In Harness
The horse carried me well. Advancing into the interior parts of Russia, I
found traveling on horseback rather unfashionable in winter; therefore I
submitted, as I always do, to the custom of the country, took a
single-horse sledge, and drove briskly towards St. Petersburg. I do not
exactly recollect whether it was in Eastland or Jugemanland, but I remember
that in the midst of a dreary forest, I spied a terrible wolf making after
me, with all the speed of ravenous winter hunger. He soon overtook me.
There was no possibility of escape. Mechanically I laid myself down flat in
the sledge, and let my horse run for our safety. What I wished, but hardly
hoped or expected, happened immediately after. The wolf did not mind me in
the least, but took a leap over me, and falling furiously on the horse,
began instantly to tear and devour the hind part of the poor animal,
which ran the faster for his pain and terror. Thus unnoticed and safe
myself, I lifted my head slyly up, and with horror I beheld that the wolf
had ate his way into the horse's body; it was not long before he had fairly
forced himself into it, when I took my advantage, and fell upon him with
the butt-end of my whip. This unexpected attack in his rear frightened him
so much, that he leaped forward with all his might; the horse's carcass
dropped on the ground; but in his place the wolf was in harness, and I on
my part whipping him continually, we both arrived in full career safe at
St. Petersburg, contrary to our respective expectations, and very much to
the astonishment of the spectators.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-216) and index.
Goddesses, chicks, Earth mothers, and groupies: confronting the stereotypes of hip womanhood -- "We wanted to break away" : women's journey from the 'burbs to the counterculture -- In harmonious intercourse: gender constructs, sexuality, body image, relationships, and reproduction -- "It never seemed like drudgery" : women's economic survival strategies -- I was opening up like a tender flower: women's psychedelic, spiritual, and travel adventures -- Little sisters: girls of the counterculture -- "We were the true Aquarians" : hippie women, feminism, and the new age.
It was a sign of the sixties. Drawn by the promise of spiritual and creative freedom, thousands of women from white middle-class homes rejected the suburban domesticity of their mothers to adopt lifestyles more like those of their great-grandmothers. They eagerly learned "new" skills, from composting to quilting, as they took up the decade's quest for self-realization. "Hippie women" have alternately been seen as Earth mothers or love goddesses, virgins or vamps, images that have obscured the real complexity of their lives. The author now takes readers back to Haight Ashbury and country communes to reveal how they experienced and shaped the counterculture. She draws on the personal recollections of women who were there, including such pivotal figures as Lenore Kendall, Diane DiPrima, and Carolyn Adams, to gain insight into what made counterculture women tick, how they lived their days, and how they envisioned their lives. This book to focuses specifically on women of the counterculture. It describes how gender was perceived within the movement, with women taking on much of the responsibility for sustaining communes. It also examines the lives of younger runaways and daughters who shared the lifestyle. And while it explores the search for self enlightenment at the core of the counter-culture experience, it also recounts the problems faced by those who resisted the expectations of "free love" and discusses the sexism experienced by women in the arts. The author's work also extends our understanding of second-wave feminism. She argues that counterculture women, despite their embrace of traditional roles, claimed power by virtue of gender difference and revived an older agrarian ideal that assigned greater value to female productive labor. Perhaps most important, she shows how they used these values to move counterculture practices into the mainstream, helping transform middle-class attitudes toward everything from spirituality to childrearing to the environment. Featuring photographs and poster art that bring the era to life, this book provides both an inside look at a defining movement and a corrective to long-held stereotypes of the counterculture. For everyone who was part of that scene, or just wonders what it was like, this book offers a new perspective on those experiences and on cultural innovations that have affected all our lives.
Reviews provided by Syndetics
Library Journal ReviewNot surprisingly, Tim Hodgdon's Manhood in the Age of Aquarius: Masculinity in Two Countercultural Communities, 1965-83 appears in the selected bibliography of Lemke-Santangelo's book on hippie women. Both books look at the counterculture and alternative lifestyles that became popular among younger people beginning in the 1960s, and they share an academic writing style (not to mention the use of the same Irwin Klein photograph, "Alan and Mickey in Meadow"). Manhood began as Hodgdon's dissertation, and it reads like one: earnest and kind of plodding. Lemke-Santangelo (history, St. Mary's Coll. of California) similarly generalizes and strives to explain things (like why communes relied on food stamps), using quotes from a seemingly random selection of folks who were there, interspersed with out-of-context bons mots from people like Benjamin Spock and Barbara Ehrenreich. For a really fun read and a nice cultural history of the times, Sheila Weller's Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon-And the Journey of a Generation goes over a lot better. Daughters of Aquarius may be of interest, however, to students and specialists on 1960s America.-Ellen Gilbert, Princeton, NJ (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
CHOICE ReviewLemke-Santangelo (St. Mary's College of California) feels that the women involved in the hippie counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s have been unfairly marginalized; her task is to remedy that neglect, and she does an excellent job. Through a combination of archival research and interviews with movement participants, Lemke-Santangelo is able to provide a strong sense of women's day-to-day lives in both loosely affiliated counterculture groups and formal communes, and to explain how women felt about their roles within those communities. She does not romanticize the counterculture or ignore the often-sexist essentialism that was a large part of the hippie philosophy, nor does she deny the seedier, exploitative aspects of the demand for free love and voluntary poverty. However, she dignifies her historical actors with agency, showing the ways in which counterculture women demanded greater autonomy and control. The author also makes a compelling argument that counterculture women were vitally important in spreading and normalizing the acceptance of fundamentally countercultural attitudes toward everything from Eastern philosophy and new types of spirituality to the importance of eating fresh local food. This work fills a previously empty area of cultural and women's history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. R. A. Standish San Joaquin Delta College

Hello Agilent,
I just installed Openlab Chemstation version C.01.07 sR4 [505] in a Windows 7 computer. The IP address for the computer LAN card is 10.1.1.1.101 (SN = 255.255.255.0, GW = 10.1.1.1.100). I was able to configure:
6890 (IP = 10.1.1.105, SN = 255.255.255.0, GW = 10.1.1.1.100, Firmware Revision A.03.8, Software Version 6.37 [006])

Using CMD I can ping both instruments without a problem. I was able to configure them with Openlab Control panel, as the system shows the instrument information under the configuration tab, (Serial Number, Firmware revision, software version, type of detectors, injectors, etc), please see attachment. The problem is that when launching Chemstation, the instrument shows as NOT READY and the instrument actuals window indicates that the Instrument is OFFLINE, and it does not communicate (yes I'm clicking launch not launch offline). We doubled checked with our IS department and they assured me it is not Firewall related.
Please help.

Lent: Day 4 – Prayer & Scripture
The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

Lent: Day 2 – Prayer & Scripture
"But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, says the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?

These are not mutually exclusive! I so often come across people who have said to me "I've done a lot of work on myself" and are no longer receiving outside support. They have tools, abilities to navigate many situations that come up. Maybe even supporting other people as healers, using these same tools. So they don't need ongoing support themselves. Or so they say. What the slippery bit is, however, we can't see what we don't know. Do you know everything there is to know about yourself? You, a magnificent, multi-layered, multi-dimensional being?
Its interesting and unfortunate sometimes "support" comes across like a bad word. Like the word "therapy" was used as a threat at my house growing up. Oh how much I wish my mother DID put me in therapy back then! I would have learned invaluable tools and had someone to compassionately listen to me! In our culture it seems many people attribute "support" with someone in crisis, someone who can't navigate their own way… why do we need to have it all figured out on our own and/or be in crisis to receive ongoing support that provides reflection, reminders and accountability, encouragement and love? There is something so beautiful about this level of service, supporting others. I have witnessed many of my clients who dedicate themselves to changing their lives blossom and flower with ongoing support. When people including clients who've known me for many years express how remarkably I've transformed from even a few years ago, what I can say is of course its self-directed, I am eager for transforming and living my truth completely even as it unfolds from the unknown – and, I had loving support to help me, every single week, so I never got too far from my intention and focus, and mostly in the form of encouragement and reflection. I did the work. Its completely self-empowering.
The discussion, the ideas, the accountability, the brainstorming, the healing when needed, the energy releases, the perspective shifts… surely all things I can do without support, but for me having the support gave me a solid foundation to build my visions from. I enjoy providing this same level of foundational support to those who are dedicated to their own transformation.
I had a discussion recently with a client regarding empowerment – one of the things I do is empower people to access their own truth and empower them to heal themselves. This does not mean you do it alone!! Support is beautiful and in fact we are being supported by unseen helpers all the time. Empowerment means to take responsibility for one's life and one's healing. It means you don't look to me to fix you – you take responsibility for being able to meet and heal your own energy. I would not expect any one of us to do that without support – too easy to fall back on old habits of just burying and not looking at that uncomfortable energy.
The beauty of a guide is to help point you in the direction to look, and give you pointers what to do when you go there. Its not my role to do it for you. Many healers will do the work for you, or tell you your truth, and I am not one of them. I honor you finding out for yourself what is true but I hold the mirror up – can you see your magnificence? Can you see your beauty? Can you see how loved you are? I do. This is empowerment. Its a deeper more powerful place of healing, of shifting patterns, healing core wounds. This is soul work. When is your soul done growing? I can only speculate, but from what I can see, if we're incarnating here on Earth still, then we may still have a lot to learn. You can take the slow journey of figuring it out on your own over time, or quicken the pace to be able to enjoy your incarnation more fully and live your full potential on this planet, with a little support.
I often hear, even from healers, "I can't afford that". What is more important to spend your money on than YOU, and your soul's time on this Earth, becoming fully manifested?

Seeds of three species of Costa Rican pioneer plants were tested for anti-parasitic activity against Leishmania tarentolae. Initial screening of crude seed extracts revealed leishmanicidal activity in Bocconia frutescens with an IC50 value of 2.61 µg/mL. Further fractionation and compound identification revealed four benzophenanthridine compounds in the Bocconia seed extract, all of which showed leishmanicidal activity with IC50 values in the ranges of 10-20 µg/mL. Preliminary data show low mammalian toxicity of these compounds, suggesting potential for medicinal use.

text: Fact or fiction: Does a work-life balance truly exist? According to Teresa Taylor that's a myth, but she offers a new approach for women who strive to climb the career ladder and be an attentive mom. She's a living example that women CAN have it all—Teresa rose through the ranks to become COO of a Fortune 200 company while raising two sons. We wanted to know more about the key to juggling it all and how the business world is evolving, so we sat down with Teresa to ask those tough questions. You'll see her answers here, plus you'll hear much more from Teresa when she takes the stage on November 16th at TEDxMileHigh. In your opinion, what makes a person successful in their professional and personal endeavors? I believe that a person is successful when they are true to themselves. Sometimes a leader has to make decisions that are not popular but you have to be true to your ethics and values. It is this belief, coupled with good self-governance, that is the key to an individual being successful in both their professional and personal lives. What style of leadership is currently abundant in the business world? What style is lacking? I believe that many leaders are well educated, competent, and creative. What is missing are the intangibles of leadership. The intangibles are the traits that are hard to describe but you know it when you interact with a leader that has them. These intangibles include: social judgement, self-insight, fortitude, and presence. These traits separate the good leaders from the truly great leaders! What role will new media and technological advancements play in business in the coming years? New media and technological advancements are what allow information to flow instantly. Therefore, businesses need to be prepared to create information that their customers demand, and respond to the competition very quickly. Look at how we have changed our purchasing behavior. If we want to buy something, we search the web, follow the blogs, check out the reviews, and then go to a store to touch the item. Then we go back home to make the purchase online! Which companies and business leaders do you personally admire? The ones that are in touch with their customers. They take the time to study, listen, and respond to their market. These companies also take social responsibility and sustainability really seriously! What, if anything, would you go back and change about your career? I wouldn't worry so much. I also wish I would have traveled internationally more when I had the opportunities. I was always in a hurry to get back to the office. How can Denver become a center for strong business development and engagement in the future? Denver is very diverse in the size of companies and type of industries. Therefore, the large and small businesses need to work together more. This would also allow natural value chain networks to be created. If the businesses in Denver did business with each other – value would be created. Tell us a little more about "the balance myth." I believe that there is no such thing as "balance." Searching for it only leads to frustration, disappointment, and anger. Working women who search for "balance" and can't find it typically leave the workforce or pull back on their career. My wish is that working women will stop striving for the mythical balance and live! You can have a successful career and home life; you can have it all. What advice do you have for recent college graduates? Take chances; take that first job and next promotion. Try something new and have the confidence to believe you can do whatever you want. If you were in another field of work, what would it be? I love what I do, so hard question. I thought about owning a spa – a really unique one like no other in the world. People would come and have the most relaxing, fantastic experience and never want to leave!

January Luncheon | Landlord Bootcamp
January 13, 2020
Add to Calendar
Discovery Partners Institute (Formerly The Illini Center)
200 S. Wacker Drive, 4th Floor
Chicago, IL 60606
Do you wish you knew more about the farming practices used on your farm? How can you best support your farmer tenants? Do resources exist to help improve communication between you and your tenant? What are some creative ways to structure leases for the benefit of both parties?
Landlords and farmers each have valuable resources that the other needs. Working in partnership and opening the lines of communication is better for both parties, and the land. Jennifer Filipiak and Jami Cox will discuss basic leasing structures, common land improvement/stewardship scenarios, and how to bring the two together.
Jennifer Filipiak
Executive Director
Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC)
Jennifer is the Executive Director of the Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC), a nonprofit organization that protects, maintains, and enhances the health, diversity and beauty of the natural and agricultural landscapes of the driftless area of southwest Wisconsin. Jen just joined DALC in November. Prior to working for DALC she served as the Midwest Regional Director of the American Farmland Trust, where she worked collaboratively with farmers, farmer organizations and government agencies to overcome barriers to conservation practice adoption and advance common ground solutions for agriculture and the environment. While at AFT, she developed their national "Women for the Land" initiative which addresses the obstacles that women landowners, particularly those who do not farm but lease their land to farmers, face in accessing conservation programs and resources. Filipiak brings more than 15 years of project management experience in conservation and sustainable agriculture having previously worked with organizations such as the Illinois Stewardship Alliance, The Nature Conservancy of Iowa, and the Lake County (Illinois) Forest Preserve District. Filipiak holds a B.S. in Ecology from Northern Michigan University and an M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
Jami Cox
Managing Partner
Jami is a managing partner of an agricultural consulting firm, AgAware, which provides CFO-level services for farming operations. Jami's responsibilities include: collaborative operational strategy & planning sessions directly with the operation's owners, development of customized reports for lending institutions, creation and implementation of financial tracking and reporting systems, preparation of accrual-based farm financial statements, and serving as a liaison between the client and other members of the client's advisory team (tax accountants, market advisors, lenders, etc). Jami co-founded AgAware in the summer of 2017. Prior to AgAware, Jami served as the CFO and controller for a Midwest grain farming operation. She holds a B.S. in Agricultural Finance from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.

Google has set itself the task of digitizing all of the world's books, sparking a continuing debate about the value of easy access vs. the rights of authors. I favor the compromise that compensates copyright holders generally while allowing access to out-of-print works, believing that more access to books is better than less.
But I worry about what this project means for the future of libraries.
Libraries exist as collections of useful materials for common use, a shared community resource supported by universal tax contributions. They've been under a lot of pressure lately: budgets are tight, people are reading less, and special interest groups are challenging their purpose. (Details in the ALA's yearly survey and the "Save-a-Library" fund.)
For me, libraries were always special.
I like the symbolism of having public libraries, rooted in the enlightened ideal of creating informed citizens. Broad factual knowledge and the full spectrum of literature and opinion should be freely and equally available, so shelves of books from across ages and nations were set down right in my neighborhood for me to borrow and read. I was shocked when I was asked to leave the college library at Trinity (Cambridge) because I wasn't a member. I worry about monopoly power and user fees undermining access, or creating just enough friction to drive people away.
I like browsing the shelves. The organization of books by genre and subject meant that if I found one good work, dozens more would be nearby. It led to associative learning: I'd thumb through books next to the one I was looking for, or pick up other works by favorite authors because they were handy. The King County Library system was among the best, transporting any book to my local library within a day, for free. I worry that books will become more isolated from the full body of knowledge as they move online. It's already happened with research papers: I download .pdfs of articles instead of thumbing the table of contents of key journals.
I like Librarians. They always understood where to find some obscure detail or had a personal recommendation. They were even a bit heroic, defending the variety of books on the shelf and (until recently) preventing the government from asking what I'd checked out. I worry that our general guides to the world's knowledge will disappear, taking not only their understanding of the landscape, but their enthusiasm for the journey with them.
I used to think that a person's impact and legacy could best be measured by how many books they'd inspired. Not biographies, but a shelf of volumes explaining their thoughts, drawing implication, building on the work. That associatively and accessibility comes, in part, because there are public libraries. I don't think the virtues will survive the transition to Google Books.

Book Clubs
If you've written a book, or are in the process of writing, you should consider reaching out to local book clubs. Like most other groups, they are always looking for new and interesting speakers for their meetings.
Some things to consider:
- Ask if they are willing for you to bring copies of your book to sell – if so, make sure you bring someone to help you. They can sell and make change while you visit with the members and guests. (And make sure you get your new readers' contact information. You may want to follow up with them about how they enjoyed the book.) Another person to get pictures without interfering with the meeting is also a good idea.
- Whether they allow you to bring your books or not, consider giving a copy of your book to the president as a "thank you" for allowing you to come. While you are helping them, they are helping you even more, by allowing you to get your name and book in front of people.
- Make sure your presentation does not "hard sell" your book. You are a writer, so they will expect you to talk about it, but instead of trying to sell your book, talk about how you came to write it, or what inspired you. Even better, tell them about a book you read that changed your life and outlook.
- Take plenty of business cards with you- there are bound to be other budding writers who would like to correspond with you. You'll be able to encourage them and you'll both be better for the relationship.
- Make sure you write a "thank you" note to the group for allowing you to come. Most folks today have lost a sense of gratefulness, so when you display it, it will stand out in people's minds- and besides, it's the right thing to do!
- Check with the group's secretary to see if submitting an article for the paper would be appropriate. It will be good publicity for you, but it will also shine a light on the group; make sure you include all the pertinent information about the group in case others are interested in joining.
My faith encourages me to help others; yours may do the same. Either way, it's always a good thing to help others. Goodness rolls around and will eventually find it's way back to you

Developers of the decentralized online platform OpenBazaar reported that the release of the software version 2.2.2 will allow to implement on the platform commission free trading p2p operations with more than 1500 cryptocurrencies, presented at CoinMarketCap. In this case, users will not need to verify their identity, and they will be able to raise or lower the price of digital assets at their discretion.
Recall that in March of this year, the developer company OB1, which in 2017 created the OpenBazaar site, attracted $ 5 million of investments in the A series of financing, and in May introduced an anonymous commission free trade in cryptocurrencies. Prior to the release of OpenBazaar 2.2.2, the platform supported 60 cryptocurrencies.

If you want to book a flight within the U.S., Air France might be the last place you would think to look.
But for Chase Ultimate Rewards® members, the fine print of bank and airline partner relationships contains surprising opportunities to save points on flights. As a result, Air France just might have the best deal for your domestic flight.
Take, for example, a recent search for an early December 2018 trip from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Kahului Airport on the Hawaiian island of Maui. A Chase Ultimate Rewards® member could convert 22,500 points into 22,500 United MileagePlus miles to purchase a one-way ticket.
But that would be a shame because just 17,500 Chase Ultimate Rewards® points could be converted into Air France Flying Blue miles for a nonstop from Seattle to Maui on Delta Air Lines.
Take advantage of airline partnerships
How is this possible? Airlines all have different ways of pricing their award flights, with some using zoned charts and others — especially international carriers like Air France — using distance-based charts. Plus, there are opportunities to get a lot more travel for your points by taking advantage of airline partnerships.
»Learn more: 12 transfer partners coming to Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card cardholders
Chase points can be converted at a rate of one-to-one to any of its nine airline transfer partners: United, Southwest, JetBlue, Virgin Atlantic, Iberia, Singapore, Aer Lingus, British Airways and Air France. Those partners, in turn, have partnerships with other airlines. That's why you can't transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards® points to Delta, but you can use them to book Delta by transferring them to Delta's partner Air France.
Always price compare to get the best deal
Flight availability and prices vary and are tough to predict. The only way to find the best deal is to comparison search. See how many points you would need on an airline like United or Southwest. Then, search for the same trip with Air France's frequent-flyer program, Flying Blue. As a final step, search for Chase's own booking portal.
At times, Chase can't compete with its own partners. Booked through the Chase Ultimate Rewards® portal, that Seattle-to-Maui flight would cost a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card cardholder 21,592 points — 4,000 more than booking a Delta flight through Air France.
Other times, Chase wins by a mile. An early December 2018 one-way flight from Atlanta to Newark could be had for 12,500 Chase Ultimate Rewards® points converted to United miles. Transferring to Air France gets the same trip for just 11,500 miles on Delta. But if booked through the Chase Ultimate Rewards® online reservation portal, nonstops on United start at just 8,656 Chase Ultimate Rewards® points for holders of the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.
»Learn more: Nine easy ways to earn airline miles
Travelers who have the Chase Sapphire Reserve® do even better because of that card's revved-up redemption rates. Unlike the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, which delivers 25% more rewards when booked through the Chase Ultimate Rewards® portal, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® delivers 50% more, meaning every flight booked through Chase by a Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholder costs fewer points than a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Cardholder would pay.
You can't search for award flights on Air France's website unless you're logged in as a member of Flying Blue. So to compare Air France redemption rates on domestic U.S. flights with other carriers, you'll need to sign up. It's free and takes just a few minutes. Then, you'll be able to see Flying Blue redemption options that could, if you play your cards right, leave a lot of Chase Ultimate Rewards® points in your pocket.
How to maximize your rewardsYou want a travel credit card that prioritizes what's important to you. Here are our picks for the best travel credit cards of 2020, including those best for:
- Airline miles and a large bonus: The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
- No annual fee: The Wells Fargo Propel American Express® card
- Flat-rate rewards with no annual fee: The Bank of America® Travel Rewards credit card
- Premium travel rewards: The Chase Sapphire Reserve®
- Luxury perks: The Platinum Card® from American Express

Deaf Child May Have to Change His Sign Language Name, Because School Says Sign Looks Like a Gun
Guns Save Lives is not supported by ads and is ran as an independent project. If you support this project please consider supporting us on Patreon. Registration takes just a moment and even $1 is a massive help in continuing our work. Thank you so much.
UPDATE 8/29: The local school board has overruled the school's decision and Hunter will not be forced to change his name sign.
This one might be worth a share to help get the word out and support this kid.
Zero tolerance has gotten a bit extreme at one NE pre-school. School officials are telling 3.5 year old Hunter Spanjer, who is deaf, that he has to change the sign language gesture he uses to say his name because it too closely resembles a gun.
That's right, school officials are essentially telling a deaf toddler that his name, in sign language, violates their weapons policy.
Here is a link to the Facebook page where you can follow the story and show your support for Hunter: http://www.facebook.com/huntersnamesign

after new Windows updates and installing Radeon drivers for Vega 11 I get no signal on my HP 22w monitor. I have fresh installation of Windows 10. When I plug the TV in, it works. When I plug monitor back it is black. After restart I see all booting stuff on the monitor until windows logo shows up for a second. Then it becomes black. I unistalled Radeon driver and changed my video driver back to windows default and my monitor works. I tired radeon versions 18.5.1 and 18.10.1. I tried installing driver for monitor from HP site but it didnt have any impact on the problem. Only graphics driver change had any impact on it.

text: Well, two more homes rented! All of our properties are special and as I've said before, each has its own personality and will be "THE ONE" for someone. I have to say that I really like the chalet that we have at 473 Mt Olympus. It feels a bit like a mountain cabin...makes me think of Heidi when I drive up in the yard. It has a lot of charm and is definitely not a "cookie cutter" house. Someone who likes things that are unique needs to find it.
