The car is nothing special. It would be considered a relic by too many folks. It is a 1995 Geo Metro, four door coupe, black in color and not very dented, taking its age into consideration. The crack in the wind shield is across the bottom of the view, so it is still legal in most states.

The Metro never got a name. Just " the metro", and it came to us with a history. Everything has a history of some kind, and the metro had a previous history giving itself an air of distinction. I will let the metro tell you about its past, before me.
"I was purchased right off the showroom floor! I didn't have to park myself out in the weather, and endure all of the rain Seattle parking lots suffer. I was bright and shiny, padded seats, radio, heater, and with the biggest engine I could get. I heard the tale of the good people buying me, and was thrilled to be chosen for the chance to please my driver and passengers".
"The story went something like this, but I can't be sure of all of the facts, as I was so young. The people who bought me, were worried about some family members who had fallen into bad times. Apparently their old ride took a dump on them, right in the middle of the freeway. They were told the old ride would cost more to fix, than it was worth, and even if it was fixed again, it wouldn't be a reliable rig".
"I can't remember the purchaser's name anymore, it's been 20 years since I've even wondered about such things. I used to know, but I've forgotten now. I will call him Jack, that sounds like a good name, every Jack I ever met was okay in my trunk!".
"Jack bought me to help out his son-in-law and their family. It was really neat, as he paid in cash and took me right outta there. It was a nice day that! No rain, and the highway wasn't too crowded, and the sun shone, glinting off my panels. I looked sleek if I do say so myself".
Jack drove me out into the country, and the ride was perfect. I pulled up in a driveway, way up in the Cascade Mountains, roughly 100 miles from the lot. Once I was parked and that was for only minutes, a whole bunch of people crowded around me and started pulling my handles, and pushing my buttons. At first I was kinda put off by their actions, but I figured they just didn't know any better".
I let them poke and prod me, and even let them see under my hood! There was a tall guy checking me out, and he had a good touch. I still remember the way he grabbed my dipstick, and I couldn't help it! I dripped, and the shame of it all. Ever want to know what's embarrassing, it's dripping on someone you hardly know!".
"The tall guy, Bill, yep that was who he was, took me out on the road, after four other people squeezed into me. I don't know how they even fit, as a couple of them were fairly large. But they did manage to find a comfortable seat, belted themselves in without me having to blink at them for not buckling up. That was nice to be respected right off the get go".
"We zoomed around for a while and I let them think they were in control, while I guided them back to the driveway. This was my driveway now! I always felt the gravel on my driveway was superior to all of the gravels, of every other place. Be it ever so lumpy, there was never another place like that".
"I stayed with Bill and his family, and had so many adventures. I went places you could never imagine. Mostly I was taken to town, I mean a fair-sized town, nearly every day. It seemed like clockwork, most days at the same hour, I started up, and purred quietly, waiting for direction. I didn't really need to be told where we would be going, I knew. The schedules didn't change often so I was hardly ever surprised at my destination. I did this for countless time".
"One day I was parked, in town of course. Seems like town is all I had been seeing for who knows how long. A couple good-sized people, reeking of something nasty, started hurting me! They broke my window, and broke my steering column and ripped my ignition switch right outta my spot. That hurt, but what really bothered me was I couldn't stop them. They seemed to know I was at their mercy, and they took me".
"I don't remember very much about what took place after I got stole. I was made to go places, a good car should never even think of going. I was helpless while the nasty, reeky guys made me jump rocks, and stumps. I was getting pretty beat up, and couldn't stop what was happening, so I tuned it all out. I figured if I ignored the pain and smell, it would go away. That was probably a big mistake, because the guys decided I wasn't any fun anymore and tried to climb a tree with me".
"It was a leaner and wasn't all that steep, but it wasn't very wide. I felt my front end raise, and I felt my rear tire following along the tree. All of a sudden I had a sensation of falling! I was falling, and I couldn't do anything about it. I hoped I would land on my soft parts, you know the tires. Murphy's law applies to cars too, so it happened".
"I don't know how long I was upside down. My fluids were draining outta places I never knew I had. A total nightmare (pun probably intended) realizing I was like a turtle on it's back, and there was nothing I could do. Time doesn't mean much when you aren't moving, and upside down. I gave up wondering about my family, I figured this was it".
"I suddenly felt something, bumping and I was being righted. My tires could feel dirt, and that was nice. Some man was hooking something under me and I felt myself slide. I never felt anything like that before. I always tracked properly, but the slide was hurting me. I felt my wheel tuck itself under my body, and the pain was intolerable. My top was smashed in, and two of my windows were inside me, in a million pieces".
I got pulled onto a trailer and hauled out roads I can never remember having been on. The trailer was finally parked at a warehouse looking place, and a team of mechanics took away my busted parts, and made me right with the world again".
"Bill showed up one day and drove me back home, and everything was just as it belonged. I was back, I was home, and I was treated well for countless time. I was treated special, or so I thought.
One day Bill drove me to a place near town. It was almost a quiet place if you ignored the highway noises. He took the key outta my thingy, and gave it to someone I never met. I know who has my key now, it's the same guy Bill gave it to. That guy has dogs, and a cat, and a family too…I've been with them for almost three years, and boy I'll tell you, I liked Bill much better. At least he didn't make me haul all kinds of stuff. The new guy seems to think I can be a pick-up. I will show him…..

Dr. Maya Angelou, American Poet Laureate, most famous for authoring I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, passed away at age 86 on May 28th, 2014. Her literary agent Helen Brann confirmed the news to press, and thus began a worldwide outpouring of grief. The top trending tag on Twitter was "RIP Maya Angelou" and, at the time of this writing, it is one of four Maya Angelou-related trending hashtags. She is hailed as a national best selling author, a genius, a spiritual God-, Grand-, and mother. She is lauded as everything Black women should aspire to emulate in life. So why is it very few of us know she was a sex worker in her youth? Why is it, even in her death, as in her life, it's such a guarded secret? Why was this secret kept by seemingly everyone except Dr. Angelou herself?
excerpt taken from here
One thing I admired about Dr Angelou was her free spirit. Rather than spout ideology, she spoke from the heart. When I think of a feminist, Dr Angelou comes to mind. She spoke from the depth of a very human experience and didn't rely on generalizations and sensationalist ideology to promulgate her message. Recently PolicyMic ran this article: What Maya Angelou's Past Can Teach the Feminists of the Future. In the article they assert that Dr Angelou while she spoke for the black experience, she spoke for all women, about that aspect of the human condition that binds all women together. To quote Dr Angelou: "I speak to the black experience," she said, "but I am always talking about the human condition — about what we can endure, dream, fail at and survive." The author conclused by saying that "when feminism fixates on what other women should and should not be doing — from sex work to marriage, career paths and lifestyle choices — it loses its core mission of equality, diversity and acceptance. It fails its women, and it fails its leaders, such as Maya Angelou. As Angelou said, "The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love … I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed."
I do not see why the media feels so recalcitrant to mention this aspect of her life when she was so free to talk about it. Dr. Angelou was never ashamed. Here is an excerpt from her Interview with Linda Wolf. If you have any thoughts about this or the role fo sex workers and changing attitudes towards their profession please feel free, comment
Linda: You've done a lot of things in your life that most people would judge as wrong. You've smoked pot, taken drugs, you were a madam for lesbian prostitutes, a teenage mom, a table dancer – you didn't follow the straight and narrow. All these experiences gave you a rich life?
Dr. Angelou: Yes, but I wouldn't suggest it for anybody. I mean, if you happen to fall into that sort of experience, what you have to do is forgive yourself. If you're in the very gutter, see where you are and admit it. As soon as you admit it, you can be like the prodigal son, the prodigal daughter. Get up and go home – wherever home is. Get up and go to a safe place, someplace where your spirit is not kicked and brutalized and your body not misused and abused. Get up. But you can't get up unless you see where you are and admit it. I wrote about my experiences because I thought too many people tell young folks, "I never did anything wrong. Who, Moi? – never I. I have no skeletons in my closet. In fact, I have no closet." They lie like that and then young people find themselves in situations and they think, "Damn I must be a pretty bad guy. My mom or dad never did anything wrong." They can't forgive themselves and go on with their lives. So I wrote the book Gather Together in My Name. Meaning that all those grown people, all those adults, all those parents and grandparents and teachers and preachers and rabbis and priests who lie to the children can gather together in my name and I will tell them the truth. Wherever you are, you have got to admit it and set about to make a change. That's why I wrote that book. It's the most painful book I've ever written.

text: The sounds this band hears in its collective head inspire a global-minded groove with a generous intercontinental flavor. The ensemble bounces from "Pussy," a dancehall riddim that combines raunch and class, as singer Sabina Sciubba describes the ordeal of a pretty woman walking down a street filled with hustlers and drug dealers, to the straight-ahead disco pulse of "Dance Till the Morning." There are sentimental cabaret ballads such as "Ships in the Night," which possesses a delirious, reverb-drenched vibraphone and Hawaiian guitar fills. On these slower, moody numbers, Sciubba's vocals are sincere, delivered without a trace of the irony that many bands use to mask their lack of real feeling. Brazilian Girls don't shy away from emotion; even their most lighthearted melodies are sharp and soulful, which gives one hope for the future of romantic sentiment and genuine affection in pop music.

Open Thread: So, How'd I Do?
(Note: First, read this story in the Los Angeles Times interviewing me.)
A couple of weeks ago, Carla Hall, an opinion writer at the Los Angeles Times asked if I would sit down with her for an interview. While Hall and I have gotten along pretty well, and I was gushing over the Times' approach to cycling on its opinion page, I was wary. After all, the first time I ever wrote about Hall, it's just possible I could have been nicer.
But, as I pointed out to her, Steve Hymon made me do it.
In the end, we had a spirited two-hour conversation and she invited me down the the Times' for an on-camera interview to go with her piece. There, a nice woman threatened to rap me on the fingers if I didn't behave, and I got a taste of what a traditional news room looks like, complete with a cast of characters huddled around a computer screen trying to make sense out of something that had happened in City Hall.
But while I had a wonderful time and got to make my family proud by being featured in the Los Angeles Times, the real measure of the experience is how well I did making my points and what points I chose to push. Streetsblog is not the Times and vice versa, so for many people this might be the only time I have a chance to reach them.
Which leads me to one question, and one only all of you can answer: How'd I do?

"Jia Zhang-ke is one of the leading filmmakers of our time. His works advance the art of cinema in ways that are dazzlingly innovative."—Shelly Kraicer, Cinema Scope
Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2006 Venice Film Festival, Still Life is the most accomplished movie to date by one of the new masters of world cinema, Jia Zhang-ke (The World). Using the Three Gorges Dam project (which is flooding entire villages and historically important regions out of existence), Still Life shows the effects and psychological costs of China's relentless conversion to capitalism and "progress." Jia combines landscape and narrative in ways that are rivaled only by Michelangelo Antonioni (Blowup, Red Desert) at his peak. (108 mins., 35mm)

(I've looked at other questions, I don't think any of them cover the same stuff as this)
I'm looking at a load balancing solution for our farm of webservers. We currently use Cisco CSS11000 series devices, but these have a few limitations:
- We currently offload SSL, which I'm aware puts load on the LBs, rather than being able to horizontally scale SSL work over multiple webservers
- The CSS LBs don't support IPv6
- The CSSs don't work very well for failover - we want to be able to gracefully move user traffic around to let us upgrade webservers without service interruption.
- Let us deactivate half of the webservers in a 'graceful' way (i.e. new user connections go to a specified subgroup of webservers, and it tells us when existing connections are closed - bonus points if it can force them to close gracefully so users don't notice).
- Let us restart/reconfigure the load balancers without interrupting service
- Support the usual HA stuff you'd expect (If a single server explodes or crashes, don't break)
- I'd like to do this without spending $$$ on commercial / hardware load balancers
- I'd like to do this on Linux if possible to utilise internal experience.
- The rest of the business likes "Enterprise" stuff because they can blame Someone Else when it goes wrong. So whatever I recommend to put in place needs to be as reliable as a commercial solution.
Two pairs of HAProxy. We'd use the HAProxy socket control mechanism (http://code.google.com/p/haproxy-docs/wiki/UnixSocketCommands) to gracefully remove webservers. Each pair would use heartbeat to maintain service, and we'd modify the DNS to point at the other pair to move new user connections over to the other pair. Would need some form of monitoring to tell us when a particular pair had 0 active connections.
Two Linux machines doing the balancing with iptables and the -m random module. I'd use heartbeat to keep the HA VIP live on one of the machines, and I'd use conntrackd to synchronise the TCP connection state, so we can failover without loss of service. Would need some scripting to insert/remove iptables rules depending on the state of the backends (Unless anyone knows of a tool?)
Does anyone have any comments on the above? Or any other/better/complimentary ideas?

Now you can Use or Disable Picture-in-Picture Mode in Android Oreo that is just a custom inbuilt settings away from you. So have a look at complete guide discussed below to proceed.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Youtube app on the Android already has a feature that could be stated as Picture-in-picture mode. By this feature when the user taps or clicks on the back button while playing the video, the video gets to shrink and place on the lower edge of the screen as a small playing media player. Thus the users could go on surfing the youtube. Now this option in youtube is confined to the app itself and no other apps could be used while it is running. The Picture-in-Picture mode inside the Android oreo is completely like that but the only difference is that the users could shrink the media playback while they could also surf to any other apps screen or the interface. The running apps or the media would keep on running in the lower corner as a small part of the screen. The new users would not be able to use this feature so we have written whole about this feature in this article. This was the short introduction to this article and now we are just heading to the part of this page where we have written about the method to use or disable the Picture-in-Picture mode in Android Oreo. If you are interested to know about the same then please go and read this article, please read till the end of the whole guidance. So let's begin up with the main part of this article!

How to Use or Disable Picture-in-Picture Mode in Android Oreo
Also Read: Best Apps To Learn New Language In Android
#1Using Picture-in-Picture mode
To use this amazing functionality you just need to press the home button of your device while playing the media and this will automatically shrink down the media playback to the container placed on the lower corner of the screen. The playback of the media would remain on running while you could be able to surf through the user interface, open other apps aside to it and do any actions behind the small container. You can also move around this playing media container, resize it, click on it and the options for various other actions relating to the container would arise on the screen. The headphones icon on tapping would make the video run in a background where you would only hear the audio. There are just no issues or complexities while you need to access this small container of the playing media and you could easily get familiar with its usage.
#2 Disable Picture-in-Picture Mode Now for some
Now for some reason, the users might not want the media to fly over the screen in a small house everytime the home button is clicked. So there is a solution for the same and these users could disable the Picture-in-Picture mode on their Android Oreo. For that go to the system settings inside the Android through the notification panel gear icon.

The provinces of Malaga and Granada are the only places in Europe where sugar cane is grown. The Costa del Sol of Malaga was the origin of famous West Indian rum, for we must not overlook the fact that sugar cane is not a native of the New World. Planting of sugar cane and distillation and rum production techinques were introduced by Spaniards, in a return journey, for with the arrival of Fidel Castro to power Cuba, some firms decided to move to Andalusia.
Rum can be found therefore in Motril, province of Granada and in Malaga, where most of the distilleries are. There are a few small "bodegas" in the province of Cádiz and Cordova.

Analysis of Powertrain Mounting System
Powertrain mounting systems are subjected to varying degrees of continuous dynamic loads resulting into unbalance of forces at their mount locations. These forces contribute significantly towards noise, vibration and harshness signatures in the vehicle cabin and has strong negative correlation to the vehicle occupant comfort. Hence it is critical to isolate the powertrain components from the vehicle body effectively to reduce transmission of force perturbations.
The traditional approach to perform the detailed analysis using dedicated MBD tools is often time consuming and limited to few iteration loops. It is observed that usually mount selection and its stiffness tuning, rather than its detailed design is actual problem faced by the powertrain integration engineers.
To address this issue, an application to predicts the basic performance parameters of powertrain mounts, the natural frequencies, relative displacements and angular rotations, was built using the COMSOL Multiphysics® tool. This app can simulate the performance of three-point and four-point mounting system. The app uses the Multibody Dynamics and Structural Mechanics module of COMSOL Multiphysics®.
For each mount, coordinates and stiffness data is given as input. If available, designer can input dynamic stiffnesses as a function of displacements. Powertrain data required for simulation includes its mass, six components of mass moment of inertia tensor and load vector.
The app is deployed on internal enterprise level calculation portal "MathApps" and can be run in a web browser remotely.

Finding time to seek spiritual satisfaction can be difficult when secular obligations (friends, rent, etc.) are all so time consuming. To help readers find their paths, Buddhanet has designed a feature called The Daily Enlightenment, a daily devotional message with small hints, practices, and poems for busy Buddhists. By portioning out the long, hard work of enlightenment into easily digestible morsels, the website makes the path to spiritual satisfaction a little more manageable.
Yesterday's message comes from the Samyutta Nikaya:
The worse of the two
is he who, when abused, retaliates.
One who does not retaliate
wins a battle hard to win.

Intel Jessica here. So this morning I had to meet someone on the Upper East Side for breakfast. For cosmic reasons which will become clear soon enough, not only did the subway manage to transport me from my Brooklyn lean-to to Fifth Avenue fairly quickly for once, the person I was meeting was late, so since I had a little time to kill I thought I'd spend it trying on ridiculous Gucci snoods at Bergdorf Goodman and making funny faces at myself in the mirror. Almost immediately I realized that doing this by yourself as opposed to with your friends makes you look like kind of a crazy lady, and after a testy "Can I help you" from a sales person, I moved down to the shoe floor, where who to my wondering eyes should appear but the inimitable hedge-fund super-wife Lisa Maria Falcone.
She was much prettier, smaller, and less injected-looking in person and was wearing a filmy, all-white sweat outfit, the purity of which was interrupted only by the massive brace on her right leg. "I shattered my foot," she shrugged to a salesman who greeted her as though he knew her (though apparently not well enough to know that she had recently been in a Vespa accident, i.e., he didn't know her like I know her). I stood there agog, not so much at the fact that I was having a sighting of Lisa Maria Falcone, THE LISA MARIA FALCONE, or that said sighting was occurring in Bergdorf's the day after it was revealed that her husband's hedge fund lost a whopping 10 percent in June (to be fair, she was in the 60 percent off section) but at the fact that she was shoe shopping with a broken foot. The woman is truly unstoppable, and I'm sorry to say that the sight of such strength and bravery in the face of adversity left me completely mute and unable to say any of the things I had prepared should this moment arise, such as, "What kind of gross things have you found lying around in the Guccione mansion? and "When can my friend Bess and I come over and have Cosmos in your closet?" Or even, "I love your work." I just stood there stupidly, holding a completely ridiculous orange espadrille that I wouldn't ever consider if it weren't on sale. Then the salesman said, "Can I help you?" and I was like, "Er, no," and scuttered out back onto the streets, to join the rest of the mortals.

Russ and Tiña De Maris
As we rumble along the highway of life, there are plenty of deep, universal questions to be answered. On one trip we rumbled some 2,800 miles in a matter of a few days, and had more down-to-earth questions: Will cable barriers stop an RV from careening through the median and crashing into oncoming traffic? For that matter, will cable barriers really stop an errant auto from careening across that same median and smacking into your RV?
It's a big deal in Washington state, where the Department of Transportation installed miles of the stuff along various highways, including the much-traveled Interstate 5. Some years back, after the installation near Marysville, a series of tragic and fatal accidents made it seem that the "rubber band" barriers (as some call them) just weren't particularly effective. A couple of settled lawsuits later, and some independent studies revealed that those rubber band barriers do work – provided they're installed correctly. In the case of the Marysville tragedies, it seems installation wasn't up to snuff.
But according to statistics, those wiry barriers do actually seem to save lives: Real world figures indicate that when vehicles hit the cable barriers, they stay on their own side of the median more than 82 percent of the time. "Sure," you say, "but those concrete Jersey barriers have got to do better than that!" Those concrete curbs keep traffic out of the other side of the median just 38 percent of the time. That's a pretty significant "capture rate," and adding to the seeming superiority of the cable barriers – they don't usually allow the striking vehicle to "bounce back" into traffic, thus avoiding a secondary collision with some other unfortunate motorist. The science behind cable barriers says the energy of the impact is absorbed by being distributed along the cable, preventing the vehicle from being "bounced back" into traffic, and lessening the chance of injuries or death.
As time has moved along, so have changes in the barrier system. Washington has moved away from "3-rope barrier" systems to those employing four cables. By using this added cable, the bottom cable is lower, the topmost is higher, and the net effect seems that vehicles are having a harder time getting over – or under – the barrier.
The four-cable systems appear to be effective. Washington has experienced no cross-median collisions for some time after the four-rope barriers were installed, and of those rigs that hit the ropes, 85 percent had no injuries to occupants. Keeping a rig from making it to the other side of the freeway is the net effect (if you'll pardon the pun), as is illustrated by the rollover travel trailer that got backstopped near Ferndale, Washington.
It's also true that no kind of barrier will be effective against every kind of accident, every time. Three friends of ours nearly lost their lives and were permanently disabled when a hotdogging car blew over the top of a Jersey barrier in Washington some years back. Would a cable barrier have prevented that carnage? It's not something we can say for certain. We're just glad they're alive and doing the best they can with recovery.
As the motorhome/cable barrier photo shows, cable barriers can also prove good for stimulating the economy: Rather than sailing into oncoming traffic, this motorhome was "captured" by the cable barrier, and probably provided many hours of work for an RV body repairman. Just between us, we think we'd rather hang up the rig like this than smack into an oncoming semi-truck.

Minsk Students Protest Against Re-Examination Charges
Students of the Belarusian State University (BSU) plan to hold a demonstration near the university administration building on 2 December to protest against re-examination charges.
The university recently introduced these to incentivize students not to fail exams. The decision to protest was taken after a series of other initiatives which the administration ignored.
While BSU students have not faced any repression so far, the administration of another university, the Belarusian State Pedagogical University (BSPU), managed to stifle the same initiative by threatening students with punishment.
However, Belarus' commitment to the Bologna road map since 2015 may push the authorities to step back from harassment of students which could provoke an increase in student activity. Earlier this year students succeeded in lifting restrictions on night time dormitory access rights.
History of Student Protests in Belarus
In the 1990s, students were one of the driving forces of anti-government opposition in Belarus. In the beginning of the 2000s, after a period of severe confrontation between the Lukashenka regime and the opposition, student activism virtually disappeared from Belarusian universities. All student organisations had until recently appeared to be under the control of the authorities which repressed any unsanctioned activity. However, 2015 has proved to be a turning point.
BSU students launched a media campaign against entrance restrictions into student dormitories between 11 pm and 6 am Read more
At the beginning of the year, BSU students launched a media campaign against entrance restrictions into student dormitories between 11 pm and 6 am. The restriction existed as a Soviet hangover which survived in Belarus due to the lack of students willing and able to struggle for their rights. The activists organised a media campaign, gathered a group via a social network and held talks with the university administration. As a result, the restriction was abolished in most universities.
The current campaign against exam retake charges went even further, as it touches a more controversial issue. Moreover, the students look very determined and appear not to fear confronting university officials and even calling for mass action.
The Chairman of the Belarusian National Youth Council NGO Alieś Krot told BelarusDigest that the 2015 student campaigns are indeed unique, because previously students did not dare to do more than put a 'like' on a social network page dedicated to the cause. He also thinks this is partly the result of work of youth NGOs which assist students in advocating their rights.
Protest against Re-Examination Charges
On 2 November news agency BelTA reported that the BSU plans to introduce charges for retaking exams. From 1 January 2016 students will have to pay $2 to re-take a failed exam, $18-34 for a course paper and $156 for a graduate thesis defence. The charges are in place in most Belarusian universities, and BSU remains one of the few which does not have it.
The university administration said that the measure would discipline students and motivate them to be more responsible in studying. "In any case, most students will not notice it as they do not fail exams", the BSU press secretary said.
All university associations — which are supposed to protect the rights of students – trade unions, student self-government bodies and the Belarusian National Youth Union supported the measure. This is no surprise since in Belarus these organisations are usually created top-down and implement decisions dictated by university administrations.
The activists say the initiative violates Belarus' education norms and seeks to fill the university coffers rather than stimulate studies Read more
The next day a group under the name #studentsagainst emerged on Vkontakte, the most popular social network in the post-Soviet space. The group now has 2,200 members. Another group of activists started to gather signatures against the charge initiative and managed to collect 2,500 in just a week, which they passed to the university administration with a petition. Despite their efforts, on 12 November the rector's ordered that the charges be introduced.
The activists say the initiative violates Belarus' education norms and seeks to fill the university coffers rather than stimulate studies.
University Administration Pressure
Students of the BSPU, where re-examination charges exist already, decided to join the initiative and created their own group on Vkontakte. However, soon BSPU students faced serious pressure.
Only the day after the online activity started, on 12 November someone hacked into the group's account and deleted the information.
The ideology department officials, who operate in each university, invited students to discuss the matter and tried to persuade them to stop the activity. They said the students were engaging in political activity and had some political forces behind them who were paying for these protests. Most students had to stop their involvement. Male students have additional reasons to worry about expulsion – they fear conscription to the army after being kicked out of university.
On 17 November, international students day, the BSU activists led an action of solidarity with their colleagues from BSPU and hung a banner with the #studentsagainst hashtag in the main university building.
In a recent publication the activists announced that they plan a mass rally under the slogan Love and Solidarity March near the university administration building on 2 December. "The university keeps ignoring us, and by this action we will demonstrate how many of us are there", the student leaders say.
Does Belarus Have Student Self-Government?
In May 2015 Belarus joined the Bologna process, which experts interpreted as a sign of good will from the western side. Belarus is now obliged to implement the road map of higher school reform and comply with western academic freedoms and values. However, the Bologna committee, the NGO which monitors the implementation of the Bologna norms, indicates that violations of student rights remain. University administrations continue to order students to vote early and to participate in official events and political campaigns.
Some reforms that the Ministry of Education is trying to pursue look like façade changes only, particularly those concerning student self-government. In January 2015, Minister of Education Michail Žuraŭkoŭ at a student forum initiated the establishment of the National Civil Student Council under the Ministry of Education.
The Council is supposed to function as an advisory body of student self-government. It includes one representative of each Belarusian higher education institution.
Officials do not hide the fact that the Council was established in order to join the Bologna process. As Minister Žuraŭkoŭ said, "we applied for Bologna membership, but our opponents claim that Belarusian universities lack student self-government. I am convinced this is wrong." Alieś Krot opined to BelarusDigest that the Council will become another state-controlled student associations with activity driven from the top.
Although the state attempts to control the processes inside universities, students' struggle for their rights seems to be reviving after more than a decade of inactivity. The warming of Belarus-EU relation and Bologna commitments creates an opportunity for activists to restructure relations between the state and academia.
New Policies on Deposits, Waiting for Foreign Money – Digest of Belarus Economy
On 20 November 2015 Belstat, the official statistical body, released the updated macro-economic statistics. Disappointing figures on exports and manufacturing suggest that the economic downturn in Belarus continues.
However, on 11 November 2015 the National Bank of Belarus announced reforms on the deposit market. The bank tries to replenish the deposit's term structure hoping that it can boost cheap investment in the economy.
Meanwhile, rising debt among individual companies raises the question of how much worse things can get. Loss-making state-owned enterprises dragged down by overdue debts are hoping that a good order can guarantee them potential further credit.
Economic Depression: Approaching the Bottom
According to Belstat by November 2015 GDP had dropped by 3.9 per cent year-on-year. The economy has lost its August "miracle" returning to the most negative forecast figures. After a half-point positive adjustment in August, GDP decreased twice by 0.2 percentage points in September and October. Exports have weakened further, falling to their lowest levels in the last decade (see figure 1). The Prime-Minister Andrej Kabiakoŭ, on 24 November 2015 admitted that the government's measures which were introduced in order to increase exports and find new markets were still not enough.
Nevertheless, the authorities hope to override the so-called "external-factors" in the economic crisis by significantly increasing the volume of loans granted to enterprises to boost their economic activity. They expect that these measures coupled wit old-fashioned Soviet style manual controls will bring economic salvation.
However, according to the National Bank of Belarus in the first nine months of the current year Belarusian banks decreased the volume of lending using the national currency by 6.5 per cent. The volume of new credits granted in foreign currency also declined by nearly $2.5bn.
Thus, to reverse such a negative tendency Belarus urgently needs new credit lines from the Eurasian Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, on 20 November 2015 the National Bank of Belarus announced that the Belarusian authorities failed to conform with an IMF three-year programme of reforms supported by a new loan of $3bn.
Although that will spare the economy further short-term pain, the disease will remain. Loans that should have gone to vibrant companies with promising new ideas go instead to state "zombies". Hence, to sustain economic growth the economy needs increasing credits.
Deposit Market: Dreaming about Long-term Structure
Taking into account tough and long run negotiations about new loans with the Eurasian Development Bank and the IMF the only way to replenish the financial resources of the banking system is to attract additional deposits. However, by 1 November 2015 in comparison with May deposits in Belarusian rubles shrank by 22.7 per cent (see figure 2).
In this light on 11 November 2015 the National Bank of Belarus declared new rules for the deposit market in Belarus, which was adopted within the government's program of macro-economic stabilisation.
The changes include the addition of an irrevocable type of deposits, not allowing early withdrawal of invested funds, and a 13% tax on income from interest on short-term deposits, less than 2 years for foreign currency deposits and less than 1 year for deposits in Belarusian rubles.
The National Bank of Belarus aims to build a long-term resource base for banks, and create a more efficient use of financing, including the availability of long-term loans for economic entities and the population. However, several pitfalls still exist before results will be achieved.
First of all, under the conditions of the current economic crisis, low competitiveness of Belarusian enterprises on external markets (primarily in Russia) decreases their investment attractiveness and leads free cash funds to continue to concentrate where they can bring the highest profit with the lowest risk and costs. This is on short-term deposits in Belarusian banks.
Secondly, repeated financial crises, the lack of tax stability and the protection of owners' rights, have changed the preferences of Belarusians. For them it is better to have more cash in their hands today than make investments in long-term deposits.
Thirdly, the decrease in the level of the population's income will lead to a further reduction in savings and, hence, to an additional drop of deposits in Belarusian banks. According to Belstat, the real disposable cash income of the population in January – August of 2015 decreased by 5.3 per cent in comparison to the same period of the previous year. In dollar terms this decline amounted to about a third.
Companies' Debts: Losing Ground
But dig deeper and the situation looks even less promising. The increase in accounts payable in recent months indicates that companies, including state-owned enterprises, repay loans slower than banks issue new ones (see figure 3).
Moreover, persistently harsh external macro-economic conditions suggest that state "giants" will compete harder for additional financial resources provided under another extensively used state policy that of direct preferential lending.
However, the use of the direct lending policy means that state-controlled banks lose the ability to perform the key function of financial mediation. They can no longer select effective credit projects.
Taking into account the tough prospects of obtaining new loans from the IMF and Eurasian Development Bank, coupled with the National Bank of Belarus's new policy of monetary targeting, government bonds remain as the key instrument for the implementation of such lending.
In July 2015 Belarusian large state enterprises like the Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ) and Gomselmash received such help. The timber industry hopes for the same after the authorities' decided on 22 October 2015 to transfer their problem assets to the control of the Development Bank of Belarus.
Trying to avoid the acceleration of inflation, the government issues new bonds and turns and therefore turns into a formidable competitor for private companies. A distorted economic environment reduces the incentives for enterprises to increase their efficiency and leads to a decline in Belarus's economic development.
Summing up, all this puts pressure on the National Bank's new economic policy. If the authorities decide to switch on the printing machines it could lead to a financial crisis once again.

Allergy Testing
Allergy tests are designed to gather the most specific information possible so that our physicians can determine what you are allergic to and provide the best treatment possible for your specific needs.
How does the allergy testing work?
Testing begins with a minimal amount of allergen extracts placed beneath the skin via taps of tiny pieces of metal that each have a drop of a different allergen on it.
The allergens are gently put in contact with the skin, eliminating the chance of any bleeding or pain. If you are allergic to the particular allergen, you will have symptoms associated with a positive test such as a raised, red itchy bump, similar to a mosquito bite.
Using our advanced technique, we test for up to 60 allergens, including environmental agents, trees, grass, weeds and pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, and all food ingredients commonly associated with food allergies. After the skin is placed in contact with the drop of allergen, patients should anticipate the allergy results within 15 minutes.
Who should be tested for allergies?
Adults and children who have symptoms that suggest they may have an allergic disease. Allergy symptoms can include but are not limited to:
- Respiratory symptoms such as itchy eyes, nose, or throat; nasal and/or chest congestion, runny nose, watery eyes, and wheezing.
- Skin symptoms include hives, area specific itchiness or redness.
- Other symptoms may include anaphylaxis (severe life-threatening allergic reaction), abdominal cramping and /or diarrhea consistently following ingestion of particular foods, stinging insect reactions other than large local swelling at the bite site, and redness spreading away from the bite.
What are the reasons for undergoing allergy skin testing?
The first step in managing your allergy symptoms is determining what is causing your allergy. Our physicians and staff can help provide you with specific information about what you are and are not allergic to.

Nina & Jimmy | An Ayr Mount Wedding
The Saturday before Memorial Day was perfect. Blue skies, an occasional light breeze, sunshine--an ideal day for an outdoor wedding. Jimmy and Nina's early summer wedding went off without a hitch--well, except for the one that really matters, anyway. (Get it?!) They read their own vows, which were rife with inside jokes (Jimmy's mentioned a janitor's closet), making each other and all their guests laugh and showcasing the unique brand of humor that makes them a perfect fit for each other. Friends waved them off with handmade streamers, laughed at the fake programs (listing the officiant as Obi Wan Kenobi, the wedding date as Stardate 12543.7, the reception location as the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade) which were dispersed along with the real ones, and watched Nina and Jimmy's dog, Zeus, follow them calmly down the aisle after the ceremony.
Nina and Jimmy are regulars at Mystery Brewing's Pub House in downtown Hillsborough, so it struck them as the perfect place to hold their reception. They rolled up in a stunning vintage Excalibur and entered the bar to AC-DC's "Shoot to Thrill." Their playlists throughout the night evinced their eclectic musical taste and their background as musicians, and even though, as Jimmy said, "They're a bunch of engineers, I don't know how much dancing we really expected," the music kept people moving throughout the night. With custom velociraptor cake toppers (handmade by one of the bridesmaids), toasts recounting tales of Pokemon cards and terrible sadistic childhoods, some big ol' granny panties tossed instead of a garter, and delicious craft beers flowing freely, it was an upbeat night of endless fun celebrating two excellent individuals. We are so thrilled to have been a part of Nina and Jimmy's wedding day. Check out their awesome images below!

The Private Sector in Public Office: Selective Property Rights in China addresses the long-standing puzzle of how China's private sector manages to grow without secure property rights. I show that instead of passively accepting the existing institutional arrangements, private entrepreneurs in China actively seek opportunities within formal institutions to advance their business interests. By securing seats in the local legislatures, entrepreneurs use their political capital to deter local officials from demanding bribes, ad hoc taxes, and other types of informal payments. In doing so, they create a system of selective, individualized, and predictable property rights. This system of selective property rights is key to understanding the private sector growth in the absence of the rule of law.

"In this fascinating and innovative book, Yue Hou breathes new life into the study of private entrepreneurs in China."
(Bruce Dickson, George Washington University)
"The Private Sector in Public Office is a ground-breaking study that helps us understand the complex and fluid relationship between private wealth and political power."
(Minxin Pei, Claremont McKenna College)
"This important new book, with broad comparative implications, reveals that local political connections and fears of corruption and government theft are a fundamental feature of the contemporary Chinese economy."
(Thomas Pepinsky, Cornell University)
"Yue Hou's book offers a comprehensive theory and evidence of the important role of political connections in securing individualized property rights for connected entrepreneurs."

The first quarter of 2017 is done. The days are long but the months seem to fly by, in March the days started to lengthen and my mood is improved. It wasn't a very social month, I did get to the allotment work day and Grace. Last weekend, we celebrated Mother's Day and Laura's birthday (Happy Birthday Lu!) at Ben and Lu's. There was Gin Club last night and being out on the allotment more so my social life was less planned and more bumping into people on the plot.
So let's review the March Goals….
- Use Bright Light Therapy Headset every day. I missed a couple of days the weekend of 18-19 March and I did feel more tired. Other than that, I used it every morning and it seemed to be more effective on the days that I was at work, because I was getting up when it was a bit darker.
- Get out of the house by 7:30am on workdays & 10pm lights out on schoolnights. Mostly nailed this and it's dull but it does help. Even when the trains make me late!
- Going for a walk at least every other day. I surprised myself by making this happen, it does help..
- Stretching. Another tick, I needed to do it so I did.
- Clean the oven. Part of my focus on the house.
- Housework routine. I did better but not perfect. More to aim for next month.
- Renew passport. Did not do, lost my travel card instead
- Clothes repair. I have a heap of clothes that need buttons tightening/patching etc, I just need to devote an hour or two to fixing them.
- Allotment
Finish preping the beds, clearing what needs to be cleared Sow things outdoors. This is really weather dependent but by the end of the month I should have been able to sow, carrots, beetroot, chard, spinach, peas and the herbs, chives, parsley, dill and coriander. Sow things indoors, tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash
- Work on rubbish pile and creating a compost area – this is being deferred to April
- Order and set up shed, which is going to take some help – this is also being deferred to next month
Aside from these I also picked up two other things, the first was to make a concerted effort to eat 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and the other was a complete accident. I read something about a woman who does squats while she brushes her teeth to save time and while I didn't need to save time, I started doing it. On the 1 March I did 20 squats when I brushed my teeth (so 40 in total), then I upped it by one a day. So yesterday, I did 50 squats in the morning and 50 in the evening. It's not going to make me fit but in the spirit of my 'add something' aim last month, I'm going to carry on with this next month.
- Use Bright Light Therapy Headset every day. This is here because after getting used to the lighter mornings, the clocks went forward and I started waking up in the dark again. As it gets lighter, I may stop using it because I shouldn't need it.
- Get out of the house by 7:30am on workdays & 10pm lights out on schoolnights. More of the same
- Going for a walk at least every other day. More of the same
- Stretching. More of the same
- Squats. Two sets a day, start at 50 build up by one a day.
- Use up all the courgette and beans in the freezer. Rather than have a aim of 'clear the freezer' I'm aiming to use up some stuff that's been in the freezer too long.
- Housework routine. More of the same here too
- Paint the bathroom and the kitchen. Big goal here but it really needs doing
- Allotment
- Work on rubbish pile and creating a compost area
- Order and set up shed

Final Four: Villanova shoots down Kansas with record-setting barrage of threes
SAN ANTONIO — Villanova will play for its second national championship in three seasons after a 95-79 win over Kansas in the national semifinal at the Alamodome.
Two years ago, it took a last-second triple from Kris Jenkins to get the Wildcats a title. Saturday night in San Antonio, Jenkins watched from press row as his former teammates lit it up with a record-setting performance from three.
How it happened
Villanova was hot hot HOT from three in the first half, connecting on 13 of 26 attempts from long distance. Thirteen treys in the opening 20 minutes tied the Final Four record for a game, set by UNLV in 1987 — the first year the three-pointer was available in college basketball.
RECORD NIGHT:Villanova has best three-point shooting in Final Four history
MARCH SADNESS:Emotions, tears flow for Loyola's after loss to Michigan
WILDCATS CHARGING:Villanova is steamrolling toward another national title
The Wildcats went ahead and broke that record 60 seconds into the second half, when Eric Paschall buried one in front of Villanova's bench — with the clock winding down. They finished with 18 triples.
The Wildcats played eight players in the first half; seven of them hit at least one three pointer. Paschall abused Kansas all night, finishing with a game-high 24 points on 10-of-11 shooting (he went 4-of-5 from three). Point guard Jalen Brunson (18 points, six assists) was his usual steady self, and Omari Spellman and the rest of the defenders mostly neutralized Kansas center Udoka Azubuike (eight points and five rebounds). Spellman got open look after open looking, finishing with 15. He cleaned up on the boards, too, grabbing 13 rebounds.
It's hard to decide what was more surprising about Villanova's win: The Wildcats' hot shooting, or the fact that they only attempted seven free throws Saturday night.
Six Villanova players scored in double figures, and the Wildcats dished out 20 assists on 36 made field goals. Kansas shot just 33 percent from three (7-of-21). KU was led by Devonte' Graham's 23 points, but it took him 18 shots to get there.
Key moments
How to pick just a few? First Villanova went on a 9-0 run early in the first half, which prompted Kansas to call a timeout. Then the Wildcats went on 11-0 run. By the time Phil Booth connected on a three with 9:42 to go, the Jayhawks found themselves trailing by 15.
Kansas went zone soon after that, and Villanova went four consecutive possessions without scoring. Then the Wildcats starting hitting three again, and at halftime they had a 47-32 lead.
With 3:47 left in the first half, Booth hit another three, tying the Final Four record. With 19:00 to go in the game it was Paschall, with the shot clock winding down, who connected on the record-breaker, giving Villanova a 50-34 lead.
Kansas cut it to 14 with 9:12 to go, then forced a five-second count, but Villanova scored on its next two possessions. The Jayhawks could get no closer. Villanova's largest lead came with 13:14 to go, when the Wildcats got up 22.
