The latest internet controversy seems to be about James Damore, a Google employee who posted a manifesto to the company's internal message board. The manifesto mades various arguments, among them the idea that women may not be suited to the rigors of software engineering for reasons of biology. After Damore posted his document, it leaked to the public, the predictable uproar ensued and the author was fired.
Nothing can really be gained by offering my thoughts on this, but what the hell.
I'm aware that Google has every right to fire any employee whenever they want so there's no free speech issue here. That said, I don't think firing Damore was the best tactic. We live in an era where, for every workplace grievance, the only punishment advocated is employee termination. But in this case I suspect the result will be that Google employees sympathetic to Damore's statements will now just keep their mouths shut. Their views will not be challenged (since one can't challenge unexpressed ideas) and they'll probably even harden their stance because of what they saw happen to a fellow traveller.
What if, instead of firing Damore, Google had presented a public debate on the issue of gender roles and biology? This would have producing an airing of the issues and allowed Google to explain why they found Damore's ideas repugnant.
I concede that one can make a decent argument for Damore's firing. After his screed was posted, any female subordinate of his could justifiably fear that his biases were harming her career. She could fairly suspect that his beliefs prevented a fair assessment of her talents.
So far, I've been avoiding the elephant in the room. How legitimate are Damore's arguments? First, I have to confess that I'm currently sitting in a Discount Tire showroom with no internet access so I can't review the specifics of his manifesto. But they are arguments we are all familiar with: women can't handle stress, they like an even work/family balance that limits their ability to do overtime, they aren't as status driven as men and thus slower to climb to high positions, etc. Are any of those points valid?
Well, I don't know. I don't think any of those arguments have been proven scientifically. I doubt they could be. And I think gender bias is real so we need to consider that as a cause for lack of women in traditionally male vocations. Additionally there's plenty of evidence that the mostly male software development culture has elements of misogyny.
That said, I think most of us believe that there are behavioral differences between men and women. And we suspect that some of those differences have biological causes that were "programed" into our brains by evolution. (I recognize there are all sorts of controversies tied into the preceding sentences: nature versus nurture, how behaviors can be encoded into biology, and so on. I'm going to ignore them for now.)
Is there any evidence for these beliefs and suspicions? It's been awhile since I've read up on the topic, but I believe there is some meat on the bone, generally focused on testosterone/estrogen levels and that sort of thing. I'm entirely willing to be proven wrong by contrary evidence.
But exploring this evidence (or lack thereof) is exactly the kind of thing I think an open debate would have initiated. Instead we've simply gotten more anxieties and simmering resentments.

Matt Berninger and Phoebe Bridgers Share Video for "Walking On a String"
New Song Featured in Netflix's Between Two Ferns: The Movie
Matt Berninger of The National and Phoebe Bridgers recently teamed up for the new song, "Walking On a String," which they performed in Netflix's Between Two Ferns: The Movie. Now they have shared a studio version of the song via a black & white video featuring them recording it. Watch it below.
Berninger wrote "Walking On a String" in collaboration with his wife, writer Carin Besser, and musician Mike Brewer. The song was recorded at Sound City, CA with Walter Martin (guitar) and Matt Barrick (drums), both formerly of The Walkmen. Bridgers, Tony Berg, and Ethan Gruska all produced the song, which is out now via Dead Oceans. Tom Berninger and Chris Sgroi directed, shot, and edited the music video.
Scott Auckerman directed Between Two Ferns: The Movie, which stars Zach Galifianakis and is a spinoff of his web series Between Two Ferns, in which he conducts awkward interviews with celebrities (including then President Barack Obama). Galifianakis and Auckerman wrote the movie, which also features various celebrities playing themselves, including Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Gal Gadot, Hailee Steinfeld, Keanu Reeves, Bruce Willis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Matthew McConaughey, Brie Larson, Tessa Thompson, Rashida Jones, Jon Hamm, Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman, Adam Scott, David Letterman, and several others. In one scene in the movie Berninger, Bridgers, and their band perform "Walking On a String" in a bar. Galifianakis shows up at the end of the music video.
The National released a new album, I Am Easy to Find, back in May via 4AD. It was our Album of the Week and you can stream it here. I Am Easy to Find is accompanied by a 24-minute short film also directed by Mike Mills and starring Oscar-winning Swedish actress Alicia Vikander.
Earlier this year Bridgers teamed up with Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes) as the new band Better Oblivion Community Center and in January they surprise released their self-titled debut album via Dead Oceans. Bridgers released her debut album, Stranger in the Alps, back in September 2017 via Dead Oceans and then released a deluxe digital version in October 2018, also via Dead Oceans. Last year Bridgers also teamed up with fellow singer/songwriters Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus to form supergroup boygenius, whose self-titled debut EP was released in October via Matador.

text: CaptainNovolin 0 Posted April 21 Hello! I am running a league in F1 2019, and it is unable to progress past the short qualifying session for round 3 (China). We completed the session, and on the results screen I selected "no" on the dialog box asking if we wanted to go directly into the race, as a few players were unable to make the session, and one had disconnected during qualifying. We created a lobby immediately after qualifying ended, and when the session began, it was another short qualifying session. We completed this session, and it said that the results were unable to be processed, and we were kicked to the league screen. When trying to start a new session, the league's main screen said the next session was a race, but the lobby was created for another quali session. We all quit to the main menu, and had the league owner (me) create a new session, but it was also a qualifying session. This occurred on Sunday, and I have tried to create another lobby today, and it still wants to start a short qualifying session. The only culprit I can think of is that we added Quali to our calendar before round 2 (Bahrain) to give people a buffer for joining if they were late, and also to get human players in front of the AI substitutes. This change did not take until the next race weekend, which makes sense, but now we are unable to progress past qualifying. Is it possible to force a league to skip a session? I am the league owner and can wrangle enough people to vote for whatever change needs to be made. I have attached images of the main league screen, and the lobby, and have a video of when the issue began available here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/598583364 Game version: 1.22, sadly I do not recall what version I was using when I started the league. Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prairie Creek Reservoir building to soon hold restaurant, taproom serving New Corner beer
SELMA, Ind. — Ask New Corner Brewing Company's Sean Brady why he selected Prairie Creek Reservoir as the place for his next personal business venture, and he will immediately credit the view.
"Have you seen the place?" Brady asks with a chuckle. "It's gorgeous."
From the deck of the building at 6400 S. County Road 560 East, he has a stunning look at the water. Inside, he takes his next step in the beer business, operating a taproom that will serve up to six of his brewery's creations. It will be among three, possibly four, different types of services to fill the property.
Servesting, LLC, purchased the 9,400-square-foot building in August 2017, according to Delaware County records. It's set to hold the taproom, a restaurant, a downstairs bar and convenience store, each managed and run by Reservoir Fun, a local entertainment business leasing the property.
► WEIRD BEERS: Some the most unique brews made here in Muncie
Michael Wolfe, owner of Servesting and partner with Reservoir Fun, said those entities will be available to the public in stages, the first being the taproom, for which Reservoir Fun will purchase New Corner's brews, wine from Welch Winery and other domestic beers.
The taproom held a soft opening over Labor Day weekend. Owners also hosted a test run the first weekend of July during Prairie Creek's Ron Bonham Day. Wolfe said the event brought close to 120 people.
Following the beer will be liquor, then a restaurant. Wolfe is striving for a high-end eatery, one that would entice out-of-towners enough to stop by, but also provide those living around Selma a place to eat that doesn't require a 20-minute drive to Muncie. Right now, he's thinking of serving food from different areas of the United States.
As these businesses open, Wolfe will work to bring the building up to his standards, fixing up the deck, changing the look inside and repainting the exterior walls.
"At this point, I'm really looking forward to hearing feedback," Wolfe said.
The building once held three businesses — a saloon, restaurant and convenience store — under the name "Hinee's," according to newspaper archives. The saloon portion appears to have opened in February 2004, with the restaurant following shortly after and then put up for auction in 2013.
More New Corner updates:
New Corner's beer is still made at 1900 W. Mount Pleasant Blvd. and will be brought to the taproom. Brady said four of his taps at Prairie Creek will include his regular beers, like the Frog Baby ESB, while two are reserved for special and seasonal flavors.
This wasn't Brady's initial next step. Back in 2016, Brady told the Star Press of plans to open a taproom near downtown Muncie, at Liberty Street in an old train station. Those plans haven't changed. They've just been delayed.
"We haven't put that on hold," Brady said. "We're moving to that, but because of the opportunity (at Prairie Creek), we've put that on the front-burner and Liberty Street on the back-burner."
Brady said there is no estimated timeline as of now for renovating and moving to that location downtown, but he plans to do so in phases. It's "more condition-dependent than time-dependent," he said.
This would move Brady's brewery from its current location. But until then, it's staying put.

By Jim Boyce | One of China's most intriguing wine retailers saw change at the top this past month. CHEERS founder and key investor Claudia Masueger has moved from day-to-day operations to focus on strategic planning, including possible expansion beyond China, and to serve as brand ambassador.
Maseuger started B2B wine distributor MQ in China in 2008 but saw her fortunes change after fire wiped out the company warehouse. The four-month wait for new stock inspired a shift to a consumer focus in 2011 and the launch of CHEERS. The growing chain has some 60 shops, mostly in Beijing, with Switzerland's Movenpick becoming a strategic investor in 2016.
Taking over as CEO is Cyrill Eltschinger, who has a long history in IT. He is former CEO of Softtek China and founder of IT United, and did a long stint with Electronic Data Systems. (Here's hoping he can get the CHEERS website working.) Eltschinger is also a founding member of the Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce. He plays the alpenhorn.
The executive team continues to include CFO Stefan Schuppisser, commercial director David Schaumann and chief wine consultant Angqian Niu, while COO Alice Chiu, who previously worked in China with brands like Starbucks, Haagen-Dazs and Langham Hotels, left last month to take a VP position at Reed Exhibitions.

Thousands of enthusiasts and history buffs were treated to a world first on 23 April 2017 as four generations of trains representing the past, present and future of passenger rail travel ran side by side, in the same direction, on the East Coast main line.
The event took place in the stunning Yorkshire countryside and featured the famous Flying Scotsman alongside two trains from Virgin Trains' revitalised fleet—an HST Intercity 125 (Class 43), an Intercity 225 (Class 91)—and the first new Virgin Azuma (Class 800), which is being built by Hitachi in the North East and will come into service in 2018.
The once-in-a-lifetime event was organised by Virgin Trains, the National Railway Museum, Network Rail, Welcome to Yorkshire and Hitachi to celebrate the start of a new chapter for one of the country's most iconic railway lines.
The journey though the Yorkshire countryside was enjoyed by crowds of rail fans who took advantage of viewing points along the route to marvel at the unique spectacle, which concluded at York station.
Paul Kirkman, Director for the National Railway Museum in York—which is custodian of the Flying Scotsman—said:
"In what is genuinely a world first with our engines of the past, present and future coming together in this way, the National Railway Museum is delighted to have supported this unique celebration of our railway heritage, unlikely to be seen again in our lifetimes. It's fitting to see the Flying Scotsman participate in something of this magnitude."
David Horne, Managing Director for Virgin Trains on the east coast, said:
"We're delighted to have presented this unique event showcasing the past, present and future of express rail travel in the UK, with our first Azuma travelling alongside Flying Scotsman and trains from our current fleet. With our new Azuma trains entering service next year, this has been an opportunity to celebrate the icons of the railways and look forward to 2018 when we'll usher in a new era for travel on the East Coast route."
Rob McIntosh, Managing Director for Network Rail on the London North Eastern and East Midlands route, said:
"The East Coast Mainline and its long heritage is uniquely placed to have run these four historic trains from four different generations side by side. This was a long-standing vision for both myself and our industry partners and that vision has become a reality, creating a wonderful occasion to help us celebrate our proud rail heritage as well as the ongoing success of Britain's railways. To have achieved this truly special, once-in-ageneration event with the eyes of the world watching—and to have not caused any disruption to regular rail passengers—makes me immensely proud to have helped to make a moment in railway history."
Karen Boswell, Managing Director for Hitachi Rail Europe, said:
"We believe our new, British-built Azuma trains will inspire the next generation of rail enthusiasts and show how investment in new trains will transform passenger experiences on this iconic route."
Sir Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said:
'What a moment in history; a once-in-a-lifetime event on St George's Day and just days before the start of the Tour de Yorkshire. We're immensely proud to have been involved in making this wonderful event a reality. It's taken passion, drive and commitment, all true Yorkshire qualities that help make our county as great as it is."

Virgin Trains have already invested £21m to completely revamp their existing fleet, and customers can now benefit from 42 additional services (22,000 extra seats) per week between Edinburgh and London. 2018 will see the introduction of completely new Azuma trains being built in the UK by Hitachi.
The West Coast route has a proud record of challenging the status quo—from introducing tilting Pendolino trains, to a pioneering automated delay repay scheme and becoming the first franchised rail operator to offer m-Tickets for all ticket types.

I haven't been on here much, but every so often I try and keep up with the discussions.
I'm sure this topic has been talked about before, so my apologies in advance if I'm repeating.
A little about me...
I'm a non baptized JW married to a devout JW. Both my husband and I were raised in the organization. From the time I was young I couldn't drink the kool-aid. In my early adult years, I tried. I studied, went to meetings, out in service, you know the gig, but Thankfully I never took the plunge. During this time I met and married my husband. Fast forward, 3 kids later and i'm dying inside. My husband is pushing me to homeschool for obvious reasons, dragging them to every meeting and out to service. There isn't any balance in my children's lives. It's a repeat of my childhood all over again.
So my question, more and more I've begun thinking of separating from my husband. I feel like it is the only way to offer balance in their lives. Despite my husband's objective I returned to work so financially I'd be ok. More importantly, we would have to split time with the kids giving me several days a week for normalcy. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband, he's a wonderful father if you could remove the JW influence and has been an attentive, hard working, and loving husband. However, I can't sit idly by and watch my kids being brainwashed, I'm their only shot at life.
Am I crazy to be considering this drastic step? Anyone else living an anxiety filled life? How do you handle watching your children living a lie? I can't continue living this way!
Thanks for listening.

Italy – the dream destination of many tourists is famous for many reasons – artistic buildings and the Roman culture. The other beautiful tourist spot is the Como Lake. Shaped in the form of alphabet Y, this lake is surrounded by beautiful villas. These are age old villas which were built along with the historic monuments like Comedia and Tragedia. One would fall in love with these villas which are surrounded by beautiful gardens and glittering water around them. Buying investment property Como Lake is one of the wise investments that one could make. Since this is a place where visitors come in large number, property can be leased or rented. You would get the entire value for your money.
The climate around this lake is generally mild much like the Mediterranean climate. You will usually find the tropical and sub-tropical plants which grow throughout the year. You will also experience snowfall and rainfall in those particular seasons. There is property for sale all the time and you might not want to hesitate in investing in Lake Como Real Estate. You can buy newly built buildings or recently renovated homes or properties. With an increasing awareness of holiday rentals amongst the tourist population most of the tourists wish to rent property than staying in hotels.
If you are an overseas investor you might be worried about maintenance of the property. Your concern is obvious because you invest lot of capital on the real estate property. You can rest assured now because you can also buy property which needs low maintenance. There are many websites which will give you the entire information of all the properties that are available for sale in and around Lake Como. There are agents available to guide you through the best properties and help you in cracking the best deal. You will get properties which are available in places where there is constant traffic and most of the areas are the attractive tourist centers and visiting spots.
The tourists will have frequent access to passenger as well as car ferries. There are places where they have their own railway stations and lake frontages. Any property you buy will be surrounded by lots of shopping areas and service centers. Buying investment property Como Lake is not a difficult task. Most of the properties will be close to airports and ski slopes. What else does a visitor want apart from an ideal location like this to spend their short holidays with their close friends and family? You will also find real estate property by the side of steep lake sides with stunning views outside the balcony or the bedroom windows.
You will definitely be in a home away from your home. The style of most of the properties and villas is a mix of contemporary and traditional architecture. The tourists look for rental properties with swimming pools and other basic amenities. They would also look for the vicinity of the shopping areas and tourist spots from the place of stay. And hence it is important that you advertise your property the right way. Most of the interiors come in glass and Italian wood. The accommodation area is decorated by beautiful materials and artifacts.
You can also enhance your property with a sauna and a gymnasium. Beauty is redefined in and out of the property. What else does a tourist want apart from a stay in these exotic places surrounded by electrifying locations? Luxury is what a tourist would find in these properties. Finally you don't have to have second thoughts about investing in a property at Lake Como. You can select properties in the most famous crossroads at the Golden Triangle whereby the tourists are assured of feasible rents and proximity to the town, lake or to the transport.

Weaving at Little Middle Folk School
For one amazing week every summer the John C Campbell Folk School opens its studios to kids. The work they do is always outstanding. I'm lucky enough to introduce weaving to rising 7th grade through high school aged students to the traditional way cloth has been made for thousands of years. Kids in the morning session wind half the ends for a 5 yard warp, sley it in the reed, then the afternoon kids wind the other half and fill in the spaces. The color combinations they come up with are unique and surprising. Somehow it all works out and there is never an ugly combination. We thread straight draws the next day with a little help from the "weaving fairies" after class. By Wednesday, the shuttles are flying across the colorful warps with all the color and texture to be found in the Folk School's massive yarn closet. Finally the kids understand what and why they "suffered" for the first two days. After plain weave comes twill and the weavings become complex and even more beautiful. Friday is project of your choice day to be made with two yards of hand woven cloth.

H.J. Res. 114. Resolution Authorizing the Use of Force in Iraq/Vote to Impel President to Work Through U.N. to Disarm Iraq.
house Roll Call 452 Oct 10, 2002
Member's Vote
or not)
Progressive Position
Progressive Result
(win or loss)
Since Congress returned in early September from its summer recess, the Bush Administration had been focused on passing a use-of-force authorization which would allow the President to undertake unilateral military action against Iraq. Progressives opposed the use-of-force resolution because, in their view, military actions against Iraq should be undertaken with strong international support (such was the case in 1991 when the United Nations backed the U.S.-led Iraqi invasion). Moreover, Progressives worried that establishing a doctrine of preemption-in which the U.S. could attack any country determined by the president to be threatening-would undermine international law and serve to isolate the U.S. from the rest of the world. Moreover, Progressives worried that the doctrine of preemption could be used by other countries to justify unilateral military actions. The consolidation of presidential power was also a concern to Progressives. Progressives pointed out that the U.S. Constitution specifies that Congress, and not the President, is the sole entity responsible for declaring war. During debate on the use-of-force resolution, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) proposed an amendment which would have urged President Bush to work through the United Nations to ensure that Iraq is not developing weapons of mass destruction. Progressives supported Lee's proposal as a way to insure international cooperation in a potential conflict with Iraq. The Lee amendment was defeated on a 72-355 vote.

He's good. I like the way he brilliantly and deftly avoids meeting Christianity straight on and with slights of the pen and soft-logic proceeds to trounce everything that Christianity is not.
... I don't believe any of that nonsense either. I do, however, believe in the Christianity he does not address head-on.
I hope he doesn't drive like that.

Right on the money, havoc. Notice also the way he's desperate to project this "young and happy" image of himself, as if he's got something to prove. Phoney through and through.

I am entering public health from another educational background. I plan to take the graduate course in epidemiology next spring when it is offered. This has given me a very helpful introduction to the field, as well as a review of statistics I learned in the past and different ways than I have used to analyze data. Thank you for making this available.

This class was extremely helpful to me in understanding how to read epidemiological papers that I am encountering in my research. The first week was quite introductory, but after that there was a lot of meat and I learned a lot. I would recommend this class to anyone who has to read medical literature as part of their education or their job.

It has been awhile since I completed this course. I just wrapped up my time as a Public Health Advisor in the US Army and this course was a review for me as I prepped for that new assignment. I recommend it for anyone trying to establish their baseline of understanding as well as to people in the field that have stepped away for time.

I was unsure whether or not I wanted to study Public Health before I began this course.

It was everything I wanted and more, and I'm excited to say I'm starting my undergraduate degree in the coming year!

It was my first online learning experience and it was very good I would say. I am currently pursuing a masters degree in Public Health and the course helped understand the concepts in more focused and detailed manner with the help of multiple choice questions and the end of each sessions. overall it was a nice experience.

The teachers are fantastic. The content is introductory, but it covers a lot of information in an easy and clear way. Also, it helped me to pass the exam to enter into a Master's program in Epidemiology. It was really helpful, even more than some very well-known introductory books on the field. Thank you, it was great!!

Great introductory course. Very organised with a lot of interesting information especially about the history of epidemiology. I believe that starting from the beginnings is the best way to truly understand a concept. One great thing is that every concept was supported by examples from the real world of epidemiology.

This is the first time I have learnt Epidemiology. It's give me a chance to know professional information about it. As I thought, It's a difficult cause.

About this film in general, I really think it's bad to use animals like they do in this film, I didn't think so much about it as a child but now I certainly noticed it… But Lena is cute and plays her part as Kitty well 🙂

Eolas Technologies Incorporated, et al. v. Microsoft Corporation
§ 271(f)(1) Permits Patentee to Include Microsoft's Foreign Sales in Royalty Award
March 02, 2005
Last Month at the Federal Circuit - April 2005
Judges: Rader (author), Friedman, and Plager
In Eolas Technologies, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 04-1234 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 2, 2005), the Federal Circuit vacated a district court's JMOL in Eolas Technologies, Inc.'s ("Eolas") favor based on Microsoft Corporation's ("Microsoft") anticipation, obviousness, and inequitable-conduct defenses and remanded for a new trial on these issues. The Federal Circuit also affirmed certain claim constructions. Finally, the Court affirmed the district court's holding that "components," according to 35 U.S.C. § 271(f)(1), includes software code on golden master disks.
The jury had found that Microsoft infringed claims 1 and 6 of U.S. Patent No. 5,838,906 ("the '906 patent") and actively induced U.S. users of Internet Explorer to infringe claim 1. The '906 patent allows a user to use a Web browser in a fully interactive environment and specifically calls for a browser located in a "distributed hypermedia environment."
At trial, Microsoft presented evidence that the Viola Web browser ("Viola") was in public use more than one year before Eolas's invention. The Viola inventor, Pie-Yuan Wei, testified at trial that he had written code for Viola in May 1993 and demonstrated its capability to Sun Microsystem's ("Sun") engineers at that time. His testimony was corroborated with code dated from that time
period. The district court found that Wei had abandoned, suppressed, or concealed the code because he disclosed it only to Sun's engineers and then changed it. The district court applied this ruling to the application of the Viola prior art under §§ 102(g) and 102(b).
Microsoft also argued that one of the inventors of the '906 patent, Michael Doyle, knew of Viola yet did not disclose it to the PTO. Because the district court determined that Viola was not prior art, it concluded that this knowledge was not material and, hence, there was no inequitable conduct.
Eolas claimed damages for both foreign and domestic sales of Windows with Internet Explorer. Microsoft moved in limine to prevent Eolas from seeking damages based on foreign sales under § 271(f). Microsoft exports a limited number of golden master disks containing software code for the Windows operating system to manufacturers abroad who use the disk to replicate the code onto computer hard drives for sales outside of the U.S. The district court determined that the code on the golden master disk constitutes "components" of an infringing product for combination outside of the U.S. under § 271(f).
On appeal, the Federal Circuit found that the district court had erred in finding that Wei had abandoned, suppressed, or concealed the Viola code such that it did not qualify as prior art. The record contains no evidence that Wei either intentionally withheld Viola from the public or unreasonably delayed a patent application or public disclosure. In contrast, the evidence shows that Wei demonstrated the code to Sun's engineers without a confidentiality agreement and then posted an improved version of the code on a publicly accessible Internet site. Accordingly, the Court vacated this part of the district court's judgment and remanded for further proceedings on consideration of the applicability of the Viola prior art with regard to the validity of the '906 patent. The Federal Circuit also ruled that the district court had erred in linking its § 102(g) abandonment finding to its § 102(b) public-use finding. Similarly, the Federal Circuit vacated the district court's decision on equitable conduct based on its ruling that Viola could constitute prior art.
The Court then took on the question of whether software code made in the U.S. and exported abroad is a "component" of a patented invention under § 271(f). The Court observed that exact duplicates of the software code on the golden master disks are incorporated as an operating element of the ultimate device. Thus, according to the Court, the software code on the golden master disk is not only a component, it is probably the key part of the patented invention. The Court rejected Microsoft's argument that § 271(f) "components" are limited to physical machines because neither the statute, the legislative history, nor precedent contains such a limitation. Accordingly, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling that "components," according to § 271(f)(1), includes software code on golden master disks.

The Nintendo Switch had the only big new breakout hit of July, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group. Octopath Traveler topped the software chart, and it helped Nintendo's hybrid Switch handheld/home console outsell the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in terms of both dollar and unit sales.
"Nintendo Switch was July's best-selling hardware platform in both dollars and units sold," said Piscatella. "This is the seventh month that Switch has led in hardware dollar sales since launching in March 2017, and the first since December 2017."
It wasn't just the Switch that did well for Nintendo, though. In June, the NES Classic Edition outsold all other consoles in terms of units, and both it and the Super Nintendo Classic did well in July as well. Piscatella credits both of them for helping to boost July's hardware revenue to $217 million, which is up 19 percent year-over-year.
When it comes to hardware, Nintendo is doing the best it has done since 2009, which was in the heart of the Wii and DS lifespans.
But as we've grown used to here, just because Nintendo is doing well, that doesn't mean anyone else is stumbling. Both Microsoft and Sony are in strong positions.
"For the 2018 year to date period, hardware spending has increased 21 percent to $1.9 billion," said Piscatella. "Spending gains for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Plug N Play devices such as NES Classic Edition and Super NES Classic Edition have driven growth. Year-to-date hardware spending is at its highest level since 2011."
Xbox One hardware is also up 60 percent year-to-date over 2017, and PlayStation 4 is still the top-selling console platform of 2018.

Pro-Life fight misguided
I believe I understood the arguments Margaret F. Keady '93 and Juan A. Latasa '91, representing MIT Pro-Life, put forth in their case for abortion coverage rebates ["Pro-Life requests partial insurance refund," Oct. 5]. Nevertheless, I found I disagreed with literally every reason.
They began with the pragmatic, namely that insurance refunds are logistically possible, as evidenced by their implied success at Harvard. Presumably this was mentioned to stay the objections of Linda L. Rounds, executive director of the Medical Department, as I fail to see any particular relevance to the real issue at hand; regardless, I am personally against the rebate, and I consider Harvard's policy an instance of poor judgment down the river rather than a valid precedent for abortion coverage refunds at MIT.
The central issue, as I see it, is that MIT Pro-Life feels an "ethical dilemma" is created by forcing people who oppose abortion to subsidize abortion, or, as far as they are concerned, murder. I am reminded of a man who refused to pay the fraction of his federal taxes slated to go to the defense budget on the grounds the military is a killing machine he found morally repugnant. Does MIT Pro-Life share this thinking? Perhaps some of its members do. And do these also avoid transportation vehicles, which are implicated in countless deaths, and do they demonstrate their objections by not paying that portion of their taxes allocated to road repair? Or do they refuse to contribute their share toward the government subsidization of red meat, etiological agent of atherosclerosis, heart disease, and death?
These increasingly ludicrous examples at some level point to life-and-death issues, as does that of the abortion coverage rebate. Many will cringe at lumping them all together, but to me the logic is basically the same in each case, and the contrasts illustrate that different people will find ethical dilemmas in different places.
MIT Pro-Life thinks the mass of its members and other supporters merits its opinions special consideration. Admittedly many people are concerned about the abortion coverage rebate issue, probably more than for any other comparable issue at the Medical Department. But is it justifiable to grant the anti-abortion group sole exception, based on its numbers, while giving other smaller groups -- whose complaints might be just as legitimate to them -- no satisfaction whatsoever?
Of course everyone with an ethical dilemma could conceivably receive his or her respective rebate -- a nightmarish scenario indeed for Rounds. I view MIT health insurance as a form of socialized medicine, or, to elevate it to a higher ideal, a Rousseauian social contract. I find this philosophy compelling, and I would hate to see its application destroyed or compromised by concessions of the sort sought by MIT Pro-Life. Furthermore, in the context of this philosophy there is no hypocrisy in paying insurance for items or services an individual does not morally or otherwise support.
So where does this leave MIT Pro-Life? I do not know how it would be received, but I think it would be reasonable for members to ask Rounds that their specific insurance dollars not go toward abortions. And it goes without saying that they should continue their lobbying for legislation against abortions, and perhaps even for an MIT health insurance policy that does not cover abortion at allMedical Department policy against the performance of abortions in Building E23. Personally, however, I hope such efforts are not successful.
For those who still feel victims of "a flagrant infringement of a person's First Amendment right," I point out that although MIT requires its members to have medical insurance, it need not be at MIT. Since members of MIT Pro-Life are free to seek external medical insurance, it is my layman's opinion that they do not have the case they suggested they did, and I admonish them not to pursue legal action.

text: Portland-based MC/Producer Theory Hazit has done it again on the production-tip; his latest beat tape 'This is Damone' samples entirely from Vic Damone's 'Strange Enchantment' album. The tape boasts 14 original instrumentals with flavored chops, skits from 'Money Talks' spliced between, and knockin' drums. I've long been a fan of Theory Hazit with projects like 'Lord Fire,' 'Extra Credit,' 'Thr3e,' and his 2015 release 'Fall Of The Light Bearer' all in constant rotation for their introspective lyrics and how they certainly resonate with some of my own struggles. A quick look at Hazit's Bandcamp page and you'll see just how prolific he's been as an independent artist. Start with the stream of his April beat tape below, then do go visit Bandcamp and support his 10+ years of contributions to hip-hop! My favorite track on there is 'Flamin' Indigo.'

Michael Nashif of Newberg, Oregon, entered a number of his non-winning Oregon Lottery Priceless Gems Scratch-it tickets in the Lottery's Scratch-it Second Chance Drawing.
Imagine how excited and surprised he was when one of those non-winning tickets was drawn, and Michael became a $30,000 winner.
Imagine how excited and surprised Michael's daughter was when he offered a job working for him one day, between 1 pm and 3 pm for $180 an hour.
That was Michael's way of helping his daughter replace her hot water heater that had gone out the day before the drawing.
That's a great dad story!

Diabase or dolerite or microgabbro[1] is a mafic, holocrystalline, subvolcanic rock equivalent to volcanic basalt or plutonic gabbro. Diabase dikes and sills are typically shallow intrusive bodies and often exhibit fine grained to aphanitic chilled margins which may contain tachylite (dark mafic glass). Diabase is the preferred name in North America, dolerite is the preferred name in most of the rest of the world, where sometimes the name diabase is applied to altered dolerites, though many petrologists prefer the name microgabbro to avoid this confusion.
Diabase normally has a fine, but visible texture of euhedral lath-shaped plagioclase crystals (62%) set in a finer matrix of clinopyroxene, typically augite (20–29%), with minor olivine (3% up to 12% in olivine diabase), magnetite (2%), and ilmenite (2%).[2] Accessory and alteration minerals include hornblende, biotite, apatite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, serpentine, chlorite, and calcite. The texture is termed diabasic and is typical of diabases. This diabasic texture is also termed interstitial.[3] The feldspar is high in anorthite (as opposed to albite), the calcium endmember of the plagioclase anorthite-albite solid solution series, most commonly labradorite.
Diabase is usually found in smaller relatively shallow intrusive bodies such as dikes and sills. Diabase dikes occur in regions of crustal extension and often occur in dike swarms of hundreds of individual dikes or sills radiating from a single volcanic center.
The Palisades Sill which makes up the New Jersey Palisades on the Hudson River, near New York City, is an example of a diabase sill. The dike complexes of the British Tertiary Volcanic Province which includes Skye, Rum, Mull, and Arran of western Scotland, the Slieve Gullion region of Ireland, and extends across northern England contains many examples of dolerite dike swarms, towards the Midlands other examples include Rowley Rag. Parts of the Deccan Traps of India, formed at the end of the Cretaceous also includes dolerite.[4] It is also abundant in large parts of Curaçao, an island off the coast of Venezuela.
In Western Australia a 200 km long dolerite dike, the Norseman–Wiluna Belt[5] is associated with the non-alluvial gold mining area between Norseman and Kalgoolie, which includes the largest gold mine in Australia,[6] the Super Pit gold mine. West of the Norseman–Wiluna Belt is the Yalgoo–Singleton Belt, where complex dolerite dike swarms obscure the volcaniclastic sediments.[7]
The vast areas of mafic volcanism/plutonism associated with the Jurassic breakup of Gondwanaland in the Southern Hemisphere include many large diabase/dolerite sills and dike swarms. These include the Karoo dolerites of South Africa, the Ferrar Dolerites of Antarctica, and the largest of these, indeed the most extensive of all dolerite formations worldwide, are found in Tasmania. Here, the volume of magma which intruded into a thin veneer of Permian and Triassic rocks from multiple feeder sites, over a period of perhaps a million years, may have exceeded 40,000 cubic kilometres.[8] In Tasmania dolerite dominates much of the landscape, particularly alpine areas.
Ring dikes are large, near vertical dikes showing above ground as circular outcrops up to 30 km in diameter, with a depth from hundreds of metres to several kilometres. Thicker dikes are made up of plutonic rocks, rather than hypabyssal and are centred on deep intrusions.
Diabase is used as crushed stone and as ornamental stone. In Tasmania, being one of the most common rocks found, it has been used as a building stone, for landscaping and to erect dry-stone farm walls.

If you haven't already watched this video on the impact of Social Media on our world, it's one to watch. Having gone viral long ago, I heard about this video time and time again as it got posted onto Facebook, distributed on Twitter, and received tons of comments on Youtube.
The use of video like this one always intrigues me as I watch and wonder what it is about this one in particular that really gets my adrenaline rushing. I watch this one and get "hyper" about social media, was it the music, the speed of delivery, the numbers, or more likely the combination of all the above.
I can flip through Youtube looking for something that grabs me and usually within 5-10 seconds I've made my decision on whether or not I will continue to watch it or not. What is it in a video that grabs your attention? What videos have grabbed your attention the most?

Azin seeks to provide holistic services to immigrant communities, specifically Muslim immigrant communities, grappling with domestic violence in the Capital Region of New York.
Domestic violence is still one of the most chronically underreported crimes in the United State, and studies show that immigrants, particularly those who are undocumented and/or whose status depends on an abusive spouse, are especially vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Despite the large and ever growing immigrant Muslim communities in the Capital District area, there are currently no immigration service providers that work directly with these communities. I seek to close this justice gap by providing culturally competent, holistic services to Muslim immigrants who are survivors of domestic violence.
Azin is looking forward to using the skills she learned as an Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps Fellow working in immigration. Her own experiences with the asylum-seeking and immigration processes have indelibly shaped the core of who she is as an attorney and her unwavering commitment to serving vulnerable communities
In addition to her fluency in various cultural spaces and languages, Azin will meet with Muslim community leaders and social service providers that work with survivors of domestic violence so that she can best provide culturally competent services. She will also receive trauma informed training to work with survivors of domestic violence. She will meet with immigrants affected by domestic violence for assessments of their immigration, civil legal, and social service needs. Azin will also represent immigrants affected by domestic violence in immigration matters.

Course Reviews
See what our candle making course participants say: (These reviews can also been seen on Craft Courses website)
This course was excellent and jam packed with content. We covered so much and went home with a collection of 5 different candles. Rob is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor and the day was great fun. - Louise
Spent a brilliant morning learning all about different techniques and materials for making candles in Rob's wonderful workshop. We poured, sniffed, scented, coloured, moulded and dipped, coming away with a selection of very smart candles. Rob answered all the design, technical and marketing questions we fired at him, and has inspired my teenage son to get making in order to fundraise for a school trip. The perfect introduction to a new craft. Thank you for your generosity and hospitality, Rob, we had a fantastic time. Sara
I have just returned from attending a candle making course run by Rob and attended by three other lovely ladies. I was really looking forward to this course and definitely wasn't disappointed. It was informative, hands on and fun. Rob shares all of his expertise and knowledge, giving me the confidence to now make my own candles. Thank you Rob for a lovely day and I look forward to the advanced courses in the future. Biscuits were great too! - Tina
Rob's courses was one of the few that offered the use of a variety of waxes, which immediately made it more appealing. Rob was so helpful and informative throughout the course, with a patient and relax teaching style which enabled us to all thrive as well as ask a plethora of questions. I have already started to research materials, which without Rob's in-depth knowledge would have been a nightmare! Thank you Rob for a fab course, it is indeed worth every penny and I cannot wait to begin my future! - Samantha
What an informative and enjoyable course. I had never made a candle before and was taken step by step through each process of paraffin wax candles, soya, beeswax, dipping, coloured & scented candles. Plenty of time to creative your own candles. Thank you Rob, for sharing your knowledge.- Janet
What a fabulous course to go on, what woman doesn't like a candle and to learn how to make a variety, brilliant. Thank you for a memorable day and our new skills! We are spreading the word.- Laura
An absolutely brilliant day, thanks to a very patient Rob (I was late due to the flooding on the roads) and two lovely ladies who made the experience equally as enjoyable and fun. Rob was informative and certainly made us feel welcome and at ease. I learnt many technical skills that I was missing and with my freshly honed skills, I'm looking forward to making and selling as part of my craft business. Thank you so much Rob and I will hopefully look forward to the next level of candle making skills/making moulds etc.
Thank you! - Amanda
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience from start to finish. Rob put us at ease from the start to finish. I managed to take away the confidence and excitement to begin making candles for myself and my family. The enthusiasm from this course is relentless, I'm driving everyone nuts talking about it. I cannot recommend this course enough.- Rebecca
I took part in Rob's candle-making workshop this morning with two other ladies. It was a hugely enjoyable experience and great fun. I am absolutely delighted with my five hand-made candles. I have already been on Whatsapp to lots of friends telling them all about it and sharing photos.
I always watch 'Countryfile' on Sunday evenings but I haven't even turned on the TV! I am busy looking at some of the websites recommended by Rob and making my shopping lists. Rob was very patient and an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend his course.- Margaret
I had never made a candle before. Rob is an excellent tutor and a wealth of information. We covered so much during the morning from dipping, colouring, bees wax and scents and came away with some beautiful products. I would definitely recommend this course, what a pleasant way to spend a Sunday morning.-Kerry
This course is perfect for beginners! I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much. Rob is undoubtedly one of the best in the candle world! You will learn how to make different types of candles as well as a few tricks of the trade. Thoroughly enjoyable course and worth every penny! - Charlotte
Such an amazing day! Everyone really enjoyed themselves! A Very hands on and informative session. Rob is great, and shared lots knowledge and tips for candle making! Great for beginners. I made loads of notes so I feel that I now have a good head start on moving forward in candle making.- Shantel

text: Around 17 percent of all New Zealanders have a disability. Many of these people are unable to participate fully in the community because of barriers they face on a daily basis. These barriers range from physical barriers, such as the ability to access a building or cross a road with ease, to attitudinal barriers imposed by others. In 2001 the New Zealand Government adopted a New Zealand Disability Strategy to guide government action and to promote a more inclusive society. Whilst there is no legal requirement for local authorities to give effect to the New Zealand Disability Strategy, the Strategy does acknowledge that local authorities have a significant impact on the lives of disabled people by the decisions they make. We agree with this view and for that reason, in 2012 the Thames-Coromandel District Council decided to develop a Disability Strategy for our District. Although we recognise that as Council we have a significant impact on the lives of disabled people, we also acknowledge that there are many positive and meaningful services being provided already by community and social organisations within the local disability sector. We would like to work alongside existing service and support providers to improve accessibility for disabled people in our District and better enable their full participation in society by addressing barriers where they exist. Disabled people have the same basic rights and freedoms belonging to all people - to be treated fairly and equally, with respect and dignity. Everyone has a right to: Be safe and protected from hurt Make their own decisions Have a good life Be involved in their community and society. This is clarified in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Disability Convention) which guides governments on how to remove barriers and make sure disabled people have "full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms". The New Zealand Government (along with the governments of many other countries) has agreed to follow the Disability Convention. We recognise that as a local governing body, we have a part to play in upholding the rights of disabled people in our communities. This strategy has been developed collaboratively with a wide range of individuals, groups and organisations in the local disability sector, including individuals whom have lived experience of disability. We value and consider this input essential to the development, implementation and monitoring of our Disability Strategy to ensure it is relevant and will make a meaningful difference for disabled people in the Thames-Coromandel District.

Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Read: August 2018
This is definitely the shortest book I've ever read. That's actually the reason I read it. I used this book to fulfill a prompt for a readathon. I participated in the N.E.W.T.s Magical Readathon, hosted by Book Roast, in August. This was the second readathon after the O.W.L.s, held in April, based off the Harry Potter series and the tests they take in the books.
If you're interested in watching my vlogs, I'll link my channel here!
So the prompt I used this for was the challenge to read a book under 160 pages. This is only 52 pages and it's the written version of Adichie's TED Talk. I hadn't heard the Talk (I still need to), but I was interested in what Adichie had to say about the topic. I found this book because, when I asked about books under 160 pages, someone on Twitter recommended it for me. I'm really glad that they did.
The person more qualified to lead is not the physically stronger person. It is the more intelligent, the more knowledgeable, the more creative, more innovative. And there are no hormones for those attributes. A man is as likely as a woman to be intelligent, innovative, creative. We have evolved. But our ideas of gender have not evolved very much.
– We Should All Be Feminists, pg. 18
I've never read a book with the topic of feminism. As a woman in 2018, I feel like it's expected of me to want to read everything that supports feminism. It's not that I don't want to, I just prioritize other books (specifically novels) over these types of works.
I've also never read a book that was initially a speech, or something of that nature. I'm still interested in how this book compares to Adichie's speech. Was this the speech that she wrote? Or did she add in words? How did she give this speech? What words did she put emphasis on? Writing this review, I'm now really curious about it and I need to watch her TED Talk as soon as possible!
I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the insight into a different sort of feminism. By that I mean not in an American setting with American culture, which is what I'm used to hearing about. Going into this, I wasn't sure what it would really be about. Yes, I knew it was Adichie giving a speech about how we should all be feminists. But that could be for any amount of reasons. And it's 52 pages, I don't know how long of a speech that makes, but that's more than I could.
I am just as human as the man, just as worthy of acknowledgement.
– We Should All Be Feminists, pg. 20
I liked that this speech sounds like a friend talking to you. Adichie's voice feels very casual and comfortable. It's informative, yet in a way that doesn't feel preachy or too stiff. It's so easy to read, too! It took me under an hour to read this and I sped through it. When it comes to nonfiction, I tend to read it slower and sometimes I need to read it aloud. But that wasn't the case for We Should All Be Feminists. A lot of this book takes examples and stories from Adichie's life. I think that was why it was so easy to read. I love hearing about people's lives and their stories, which is why I enjoy nonfiction so much, and I liked reading the stories in this book. Everything feels more real, even closer to home, when you can read about real people.
I tabbed so many pages and sections. I tried to annotate and mark the passages that I really loved. The problem was that I really loved all of it. As I said it's such a short book to read, but it carries a lot of weight. I have two more books by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on my shelf/TBR. I am looking forward to picking both of them up as soon as possible!
Culture does not make people. People make culture. If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture.
– We Should All Be Feminists, pg.46
Have you read We Should All Be Feminists? Have you heard Adichie's TedTalk? Have you read any other works by Adichie? Let me know down in the comments!
Happy Reading!
Love, Lece

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Arkansas Foodbank topped its distribution record for 2019. The organization recently announced it finished the year by distributing a record 29,509,708 pounds of food for 2019. That is 2 million pounds more than 2018.
"There are so many in need. There are so many that just lack those few extra meals each month and we want to close that gap," CEO Rhonda Sanders said.
All of those donations equal about 24.5 million meals for the 280,000 Arkansans the Foodbank serves. While the Foodbank is proud to have exceeded the previous record, Sanders understands hunger still remains a prevalent issue in Arkansas.
"We never meet the need. According to Feeding America and the numbers they provide to us, to actually close what we call the meal gap, we would need to double our distribution to do that," Sanders said.
While doubling the distribution is highly unlikely, the Foodbank is striving to beat the 2019 record in 2020.
