When the Plums Are Ripe
A Novel
Trade Paperback
368 Pages
In Cameroon, plum season is a highly anticipated time of year. But for the narrator of When the Plums Are Ripe, the poet Pouka, the season reminds him of the "time when our country had discovered the root not so much of its own violence as that of the world's own, and, in response, had thrown its sons who at that time were called Senegalese infantrymen into the desert, just as in the evenings the sellers throw all their still-unsold plums into the embers." In this novel of radiant lyricism, Patrice Nganang recounts the story of Cameroon's forced entry into World War II, and in the process complicates our own understanding of that globe-spanning conflict. After the fall of France in 1940, Cameroon found itself caught between Vichy and the Free French at a time when growing nationalism advised allegiance to neither regime, and was ultimately dragged into fighting throughout North Africa on behalf of the Allies.
Moving from Pouka's story to the campaigns of the French general Leclerc and the battles of Kufra and Murzuk, Nganang questions the colonial record and recenters African perspectives at the heart of Cameroon's national history, all the while writing with wit and panache. When the Plums Are Ripe is a brilliantly crafted, politically charged epic that challenges not only the legacies of colonialism but the intersections of language, authority, and history itself.
Praise for When the Plums Are Ripe
"Nganang's second novel (after Mount Pleasant) in a trilogy about Cameroon takes place as the nation is forced into World War II and caught between Vichy and the Free French. The plot and action are matched by the author's powerful take on the damage colonialism inflicts for generations."—Bethanne Patrick, The Washington Post
"What happens to a colony when its colonizer becomes colonized itself? That's the questioned underlying [When the Plums Are Ripe] . . . [A] richly detailed novel . . . A brilliant, beguiling story."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Nganang is a political force whose experiences in Cameroon inform every page of this novel . . . For those who appreciate how fiction illuminates history, [When the Plums Are Ripe] will be an eye-opener."—Library Journal
"Nganang continues his rich, complex saga of WWII-era Cameroon with this second volume in a trilogy . . . [When the Plums Are Ripe] confronts the horrible history of French colonialism: the French's use of 'black soldiers for cannon fodder' in fighting the Axis powers . . . With a narrative structure reminiscent of African oral traditions, an unknown narrator heralds . . . the young men who shed their blood for a Western country and the young women left behind . . . With lyrical, soaring prose, Nganang sings their song, challenging the Euro-written history of colonialism and replacing it with a much-needed African one."—Publishers Weekly

To keep a lid on the UFO issue the Government is fostering two levels of reality.
|In this blog I describe two "Layers of Reality" playing out in the world around us.
The first is the reality we are allowed to see and the second one that exists, simmering below the surface, that nobody but those with the "secret handshake" are allowed to see.... I know this sounds paranoid and full of conspiracy drama, however, the world we see on TV and read in the media is a superficial layer everyone is being propagandized to accept. It is being carefully controlled and orchestrated by those who pull the strings... who behind the scenes manipulate the thinking of everyday people and shape the perception of the truth.
After Roswell the government came into possession of downed ET vehicles and ET bodies that made it clear that there were aliens from somewhere beyond our solar system, cruising around and taking an interest in what we were doing. WW 2 had just ended and the United States exploded a number of nuclear weapons. This attracted a level of extraterrestrial interest in what the human race was up to. Shortly afterwards irrefutable evidence arrived in the form of downed space craft and alien bodies.
That was seventy years ago.... and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. For one thing President Truman established a council called Majestic 12, chartered to look into the UFO phenomena. The secrecy surrounding this effort dwarfed the Manhattan Project and has continued to this day. Given what we know, it's clear that many of the technological developments that have exploded onto modern times had their genesis when the MJ 12 group began seeding pieces of the recovered alien craft to the Military Industrial Complex in order to determine how these craft worked.
It's one thing build technology from scratch and quite another to back engineer it. While the downed extraterrestrial space craft were radically different from the aeronautics we had at the end of WW2, we got to the bottom, in short order, regarding how the ET craft operated. Within ten years we had built operating prototypes based upon what was acquired at Roswell and additional saucers that fell into our hands. Some were shot down, some were discovered buried in the archeology of past civilizations, and some were provided by the off-world visitors in negotiations with our government.
It's very easy to become indignant over all the lies and coverups that have taken place since the end of WW2, however, it could well be MJ 12 was provided, by our ET visitors, with a prognosis of a planetary future, filled with doom, gloom and perhaps a chilling ultimation... "...mend your ways or else." It could be some of the warnings were taken to heart... as we have not had a nuclear war fighting scenario since the bombing of Japan. Exactly what form these revelations took is hard to say but they must have been convincing.
During the 1960s we were already well advanced and it appears we had a base on the Moon and were actively involved in the colonization of Mars. This was achieved with help from the ETs. Concurrently we were developing ET Reproduction vehicles and flying about in some of their retrofitted "Hand me Downs" adapted to human use. The idea was to figure out how to operate bases, develop methodologies for establishing colonies, both inside and outside the solar system, and defend ourselves if attacked by hostile invaders.
The need for all the secrecy is understandable but had some unintended consequences. Cover-up techniques were developed, refined and used to keep the general population in the dark. However, with the passage of time, many came to realize that two realities were being orchestrated at the same time. As a result, public trust in our institutions has been slowly eroded and compromised to the point that many doubt much of what they hear on traditional media, instead being convinced that a slight of hand is taking place and jaded into a perception that the media are pervaders of "Fake News."
That is an apt characterization. While the media continues to serve a role in describing benign events, considered newsworthy, they have become so coopted by the Deep State, that many are beginning to question who really owns these institutions and who is it, behind the scenes, really pulling the strings. Worse, capabilities within legitimate government, established to keep us safe, have been shamefully and corruptly used. The intelligence community and National Security Apparatus has been enlisted in a coverup and used to thwart the political processes by which our "Official" government operates.
Democracies have difficulty keeping secrets and after the Soviets stole the A-Bomb... perhaps a better way had to be found... Unfortunately it's becoming self evident that the solution, put in place by the Rockefeller Commission, has had unintended consequences, is spiraling out of control and rapidly becoming worse than the problem.
When President Trump announced the creation of the Space Force, it was because the whole sordid enterprise had become so large, it was not longer possible contain. Instead of disclosure and admitting the whole thing was already up and running and had been for some time... it was made to appear that this Space Force was a new initiative still in its formative stage.
Further, what was so bad about the 2016 Election was that the party in power used infrastructure and assets of National Security to tip the scale in their favor. Think about it! What started with an executive order to stand up a secret council to investigate the ET presence has morphed into a military Industrial shadow government that is setting global policy, orchestrating our negotiations with Extraterrestrials and actively involved in activities to undermine the Constitution.

I've always maintained that I couldn't tolerate living in all these places I hear about that have extreme weather. Hurricanes or tornadoes or buckets of rain or miserable cloud cover day in day out. I sort of get the satisfaction many people talk about in regions where there are big differences between seasons - but I'm inclined to suspect that a lot of that satisfaction comes from relief from oppressive conditions. But that's just me.
Turns out I live in one of those Goldilocks places. Not too hot, not too cold, not too sunny, not too dull, not buffeted by storms, not drenched by rain. This list wasn't determined by a survey, but by meteorological records compared to an ideal "anthropogenic weather" standard. I fancy a lot of people wouldn't like the "standard" - except when they were looking for holiday destinations.

Normal distributions and the empirical rule
More empirical rule and z-score practice (from ck12.org)
Video transcript
It never hurts to get a bit more practice. So this is problem number five from the normal distribution chapter from ck12.org's AP statistics FlexBook. So they're saying, the 2007 AP statistics examination scores were not normally distributed with a mean of 2.8 and a standard deviation of 1.34. They cite some College Board stuff here. I didn't copy and paste that. What is the approximate z-score? Remember, z-score is just how many standard deviations you are away from the mean. What is the approximate z-score that corresponds to an exam score of 5? So we really just have to figure out-- this is a pretty straightforward problem. We just need to figure out how many standard deviations is 5 from the mean? Well, you just take 5 minus 2.8, right? The mean is 2.8. Let me be very clear, mean is 2.8. They give us that. Didn't even have to calculate it. So the mean is 2.8. So 5 minus 2.8 is equal to 2.2. So we're 2.2 above the mean. And if we want that in terms of standard deviations, we just divide by our standard deviation. You divide by 1.34. Divide by 1.34. I'll take out the calculator for this. So we have 2.2 divided by 1.34 is equal to 1.64. So this is equal to 1.64. And that's choice C. So this was actually very straightforward. We just have to see how far away we are from the mean if we get a score of 5-- which hopefully you will get if you're taking the AP statistics exam after watching these videos. And then you divide by the standard deviation to say, how many standard deviations away from the mean is the score of 5? It's 1.64. I think the only tricky thing here might have been, you might have been tempted to pick choice E, which says, the z-score cannot be calculated because the distribution is not normal. And I think the reason why you might have had that temptation is because we've been using z-scores within the context of a normal distribution. But a z-score literally just means how many standard deviations you are away from the mean. It could apply to any distribution that you could calculate a mean and a standard deviation for. So E is not the correct answer. A z-score can apply to a non-normal distribution. So the answer is C. And I guess that's a good point of clarification to get out of the way. And I thought I would do two problems in this video, just because that one was pretty short. So problem number six. The height of fifth grade boys in the United States is approximately normally distributed-- that's good to know-- with a mean height of 143.5 centimeters. So it's a mean of 143.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of about 7.1 centimeters. What is the probability that a randomly chosen fifth grade boy would be taller than 157.7 centimeters? So let's just draw out this distribution like we've done in a bunch of problems so far. They're just asking us one question, so we can mark this distribution up a good bit. Let's say that's our distribution. And the mean here, the mean they told us is 143.5. They're asking us taller than 157.7. So we're going in the upwards direction. So one standard deviation above the mean will take us right there. And we just have to add 7.1 to this number right here. We're going up by 7.1. So 143.5 plus 7.1 is what? 150.6. That's one standard deviation. If we were to go another standard deviation, we'd go 7.1 more. What's 7.1 plus 150.6? It's 157.7, which just happens to be the exact number they ask for. They're asking for the probability of getting a height higher than that. So they want to know, what's the probability that we fall under this area right here? Or essentially more than two standard deviations from the mean. Or above two standard deviations. We can't count this left tail right there. So we can use the empirical rule. If we do our standard deviations to the left, that's one standard deviation, two standard deviations. We know what this whole area is. Let me pick a different color so that I don't. So we know what this area is, the area within two standard deviations. The empirical rule tells us. Or even better, the 68, 95, 99.7 rule tells us that this area-- because it's within two standard deviations-- is 95%, or 0.95. Or it's 95% of the area under the normal distribution. Which tells us that what's left over-- this tail that we care about and this left tail right here-- has to make up the rest of it, or 5%. So those two combined have to be 5%. And these are symmetrical. We've done this before. This is actually a little redundant from other problems we've done. But if these are added, combined 5%, and they're the same, then each of these are 2.5%. Each of these are 2.5%. So the answer to the question, what is the probability that a randomly chosen fifth grade boy would be taller then 157.7 centimeters. Well, that's literally just the area under this right green part. Maybe I'll do it in a different color. This magenta part that I'm coloring right now. That's just that area. We just figured out it's 2.5%. So there's a 2.5% chance we'd randomly find a fifth grade boy who's taller than 157.7 centimeters, assuming this is the mean, the standard deviation, and we are dealing with a normal distribution.

Today, Nintendo added saccharine platformer Yoshi's Woolly World to its already plush 3DS lineup. In case you hadn't heard, this time, it's got puppies.
Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World is fucked-up cute. I don't even like dogs, but the Poochy Pups slay me. That said, they're not just in the game to melt cat-lovers' frosty hearts—they're your canine assistants throughout the game's "Mellow Mode." And, in that capacity, they hurt a little more than they help.
Released mid-2015, the Wii U's Yoshi's Woolly World fits like a knit cosy atop the time-tried platform formulae Nintendo has mastered for handheld consoles. Despite its appearance, Yoshi's Woolly World pulled no punches. It rewarded good resource management, quick reflexes and a completionist mindset. If you didn't have all three, you'd fail at some of the game's most basic objectives.
Playing on the 3DS, I wondered why the game was even released first on the Wii U. The immediacy of your inputs on a handheld's screen brings a kind of tension I want in platformers. For me, Yoshi's Woolly World works better when the game's display is attached to my controller. Unfortunately, on handheld, the game's knitted and crocheted fabrics aren't as impressive. On the Wii U, I could see every knot finalizing a stitch and even the little fuzzy fibers on top of them.
It's hard not to call Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World a re-release. Essentially, it is. There are a few new features like the "Poochy Hut's" infinite runner bonus stages, where you can collect beads. Those can be traded in for power-ups in the main game. It's mildly rewarding in the same way Miitomo is: doing nothing really, but still accumulating pretty little prizes paired with reward sounds scientifically-engineered to make me feel awesome.
The Poochy Pups' true purpose in Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World are as thinking bumpers. Yes, like the kind children use when they bowl. In "Mellow Mode," you can opt into pup support. Throughout each level, three Poochy Pups on your tail will "Help you find secrets, act as your yarn balls, and help you breeze through courses," the game explains.
Basically, you have an infinite supply of yarn-pups you can toss at enemies, platforms that need to be knit-up or any other object. Also, if there's a string you'd pull to access a zone, a Poochy Pup will glom onto it. If there's a hidden area inside a yarn wall, a Poochy Pup will enter it and start barking.
The pups actually neuter (ha ha) what I liked about Yoshi's Woolly World for the Wii U. Despite its candy sweetness, that game was not messing around. Its boss fights were tough and its level design was, at points, punishing. There, I played a lot of "Mellow Mode," which gave Yoshi wings so he could float over pits and other dangers. But I still had to get yarn balls from baskets or by farting out enemies. And I still had to plan ahead, managing them for future challenges. Hidden zones were still tough to suss out and, often, I found myself running into random walls to investigate. In fact, in Yoshi's Woolly World, it's difficult to get all of the secret items and objectives done on the first play-through.
Essentially, Yoshi's Woolly World's "Mellow Mode" still required quite a few gears turning in your head to get the job done.
There's no problem with taking it easy. And, in Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World's "Mellow Mode," you still have wings. But right when you enter a new zone and begin to fathom what's ahead, a Poochy Pup will break off, attach themselves to a loose string and bark. It's not annoying, but it can kill your flow. It's a little mindless. I liked the Wii U version's contrast between stupid adorable aesthetics and hardcore level design.
Also, in this Poochy-rich "Mellow Mode," there are sad, empty yarn baskets scattered across stages. The mechanics to get you to them are still in place, though. I've excitedly ridden a monster to the top of a level only to meet a barren yarn basket. In the original, the colorful little yarn balls pouring out of baskets made the game feel more bountiful, if possible, and lush. Without that, the new "Mellow Mode" is missing out on one of the original's greatest joys.
It's arguable that a good "Mellow Mode" will let players know they're missing out on the game's real fun. But if Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World's new, daily stop-animation Poochy movies are a clue, maybe the 3DS port's target audience is a significantly lower than the Wii U version's. In the first short, Yoshi throws yarn balls for Poochy in the hope he'll play fetch. At the end, I was quizzed on whether Yoshi used one hand, two or his feet to throw the ball. Then, a prize!
Don't get me wrong—I love this port. It's relaxing to play before I went to bed. Its stage design absolutely thrives on a handheld. The "Poochy Theater" is like a watching a mini Pixar short. I'll even admit the dogs are cute. The only thing is that, well, the 3DS port's "Mellow Mode" is, perhaps, just too mellow.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Jury finds ex-Charlotte QB Olsen not guilty of rape changes
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A jury has found former Charlotte 49ers quarterback Kevin Olsen not guilty on rape charges.
News outlets report the jury returned its verdict Wednesday.
Authorities had filed multiple charges against Olsen, including three counts of felony second-degree forcible rape and communicating threats. Kevin Olsen is the younger brother of Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen.
The 23-year-old Olsen could have been sentenced to as many as 10 years in prison on each of the three rape charges. He was suspended from all athletic activities and kicked off the 49ers football team in September 2017.
Greg Olsen was in the courtroom when his brother's verdict was read.

text: Wedgie_sagging08 26 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Hi everyone, I'm Dallon (don't judge lol blame my parents). I always wanted to sag growing up after seeing my brother and his friends doing it. I finally got the confidence to do it in public, so I started around last year. Funnily enough, I expected to get a lot of **** from my friends for it, but nobody really seems to care. There's been 1 or 2 comments about it, but they never were anything memorable. I really feel like I e gotten a good system down of how to keep sags covered but also make it obvious I'm sagging. I like around mid ass. On the day in question, I was sagging black jeans with red American Eagle boxer briefs. I was in my US History class when I started wrestling around with a friend of mine before class. He got me in a head lock, and as I struggled to get out, I realized I could feel his hand against the bare skin of my back. I realized that my shirt had came up and worse that my sag had positioned itself to below my butt. "BOYS! What the hell? Knock it off now, and pull those pants up Dallon. Nobody wants to see that mess." The teacher chastised us as he walked into the room. The class laughed and I stood embarrassed trying to get my shirt down and pants up. I'm fairly certain my face matched the color of my underwear. Unfortunately for the teacher, I bought my jeans as 4 sizes too big so as to make the sag more natural. At some point during the class, they had came back down. I walked over to my friend's desk at some point, and was bent over looking at something on his laptop. That's when it happens. I felt the stern hand of the teacher grab my shoulder. An equally stern voice cut the tension, "I warned you once, and you didn't listen. What you're doing is extremely disrespectful and gross. You're gonna pull your pants up, get a dress code violation, and go to the office." I heard the class giggle as I followed his orders. I left humiliated. I need advice now. What do I do? I don't wanna show my parents the dress code violation for sagging, but they have to sign it. They don't really know I sag. I also don't know if I wanna sag anymore because it was embarrassing, and I know I'm gonna be a target. Anyone have any advice, tips, or encouragement? 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ethiopian Airlines marks one year since plane crash
Issued on: Modified:
Tulu Fara (Ethiopia) (AFP) –
Ethiopian Airlines on Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the crash of Flight 302 by bringing relatives of the dead together for a ceremony at the crash site southeast of the capital, Addis Ababa.
The crash of the Nairobi-bound Boeing 737 MAX six minutes after takeoff on March 10, 2019, killed all 157 people on board, triggering the global grounding of the MAX and the worst crisis in Boeing's history.
The victims hailed from more than 30 countries.
"As friends and family gather in Ethiopia from all over the world to honor the memories of their loved ones, I pay tribute to the victims of this accident and wish their families continued strength," Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Tuesday on Twitter.
Security forces blocked journalists from attending the ceremony at the site, though vehicles transporting families could be seen heading there.
Some families have made multiple trips to the site in the past year, including in the immediate aftermath of the crash and when victims' remains were sent to their home countries towards the end of 2019.
But for Frenchwoman Catherine Berthet, who lost her 28-year-old daughter Camille, this week marked the first time she had set foot in Ethiopia since the disaster.
She decided to attend the ceremony at the urging of her therapist in hopes it would provide some form of closure, she told AFP.
"If you lose your child in a car accident, you can often see the body, and that's important. I won't have this chance because my daughter died in a plane crash -- her body was turned into a million pieces," Berthet said.
"So it's important to go to the country where she passed her final moments."
Virginie Fricaudet, president of an association of French victims' families, said she expected Tuesday's ceremony would help "close a chapter", though she acknowledged that relatives of the dead were still grieving.
"For me this commemoration is about bringing together this immense family that is connected by the tragedy," said Fricaudet, whose brother died on Flight 302.
On Monday, the families of Flight 302's nine French victims attended a memorial service at the French embassy in Addis Ababa, setting white roses at the base of nine jacaranda trees planted on the embassy grounds a year ago.
It was unclear what exactly Ethiopian Airlines had planned for the ceremony on Tuesday.
As recently as January, the company hoped to use the anniversary to announce the winner of an architectural design competition for a memorial, though the plan drew pushback from some victims' families who objected to what they perceived as a rushed timeline.

I love Assistant Manager class actions because it gives a defense lawyer a "golden" opportunity to defeat class certification by asserting that too much individual scrutiny is required to allow a class action to proceed. A beautiful example of this is a recent Walmart case where a group of Assistant Managers dropped their misclassification lawsuits, after they were unable to secure class certification. They did, however, arrive at settlements for themselves. The case is entitled Swank et al. v. Walmart Stores Inc., and was filed in federal court in the Western District of Pennsylvania.
The plaintiffs alleged they were misclassified as exempt. On the surface, it seemed that there was some superficial appeal to their claims as they were three levels down on the hierarchy of Walmart management personnel, after Store Managers and Co-Managers. They claimed (as the plaintiffs in these cases usually do) that they spent the overwhelming majority of their time performing non-exempt work, i.e. the same work as their subordinates, worked sixty (60) hours per week and did not receive overtime. Thus, as a result, they claimed they were making less than the hourly employees.
These employees also claimed that they could not hire or fire and were given no authority to make (or have input into) decisions regarding the operation of the stores. The cases of these different plaintiffs were consolidated in 2015. The Judge indicated the Complaints could survive motions to dismiss, but was dubious whether a class could survive as the classes of Assistant Managers had too varied experiences that would allow a class action to proceed. The plaintiffs asked for reconsideration which was denied and which also brought a rebuke from the Judge for trying a legal argument the plaintiffs had opposed when Walmart sought to do that same thing earlier on in the case.
A Walmart spokesperson observed that "we believe our roles are properly classified under the FLSA and applicable state law, and the court denied class treatment to these plaintiffs earlier this year. While we deny the plaintiffs' allegations, we elected to resolve many of the cases with the individual plaintiffs in the best interest of the company. We are glad we could resolve these matters."
The Takeaway
This case highlights the efficacy of using the individualized defense to defeat class actions. With any group of these types of employees, who perform subordinate-type work but who also perform and discharge management functions, one size certainly does not fit all. It is the advocate's job to highlight this need to look at every single Assistant Manager to see if they fit within the exemption, which is the anathema to a bona fide class action.
Works (almost) every time…

The latest episode of Going For Two, our podcast, just published this morning, and you can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts, or right here on this very newsletter.
In this episode, Bryan Fischer and I chatted with Katie Lever, a doctoral candidate at the University of Texas, and the author of Tuesday's newsletter, which covered the history of the concept of amateurism. Katie has published multiple times on Extra Points, and I've found her to be a thoughtful voice, even we don't always agree.
But on this podcast episode, we wanted to talk about Katie's experiences before coming to Texas, and before her academic research on the NCAA and college athletics administration. In addition to being a thoughtful scholar, Katie was a D-I college athlete. She ran at Western Kentucky University.
In this interview, we discuss
- Why she ended up at WKU in the first place, and what coaches emphasized in her recruiting process
- How her experiences as a college athlete shaped her interest in the NCAA and college reform, generally
- What sort of time commitments are really required to be a college athlete, even one for a lower-profile sport at a Conference USA program.
- The mental health challenges that may come from competing in college, and how even well-meaning athletic department efforts to promote mental health might fall short.
- Where she thinks the next battleground in college athletics reform will be, once the dust settles a bit on NIL
Bryan and I also talk for a bit about international soccer, the USMNT's thrilling victory over Mexico, why I'm a lousy excuse for a Brazilian, and what international soccer can tell us about amateurism and the current collegiate model. Whatever that is.
Two other interesting stories I've read recently:
Larry Scott still believes the Pac-12 is due for a huge rights increase in their next TV deal. Do leading industry analysts agree? Should the Pac-12 try to lock down a deal as soon as possible, or wait until the end of their contract length? The Mercury News caught up with several of them, and I think the entire story is worth your click.
A quick executive summary? The analysts quoted appear to be skeptical that Amazon or another FANG company will be a major player for Pac-12 rights (and for what it's worth, I agree), they agree that Pac-12 Tier 1 rights are valuable, and there certainly isn't a consensus that the conference should shut down the Pac-12 network.
I personally don't think the big question is whether the Pac-12 will see a substantial increase in their Tier 1 rights values. I'd be shocked if they didn't, although that might mean the conference has to work with an entity outside of ESPN or Fox. The bigger questions are 1) will any valuation gain be dwarfed by the Big Ten and Big 12 and 2) are conference leaders prepared to win, even in an era where the financial gaps continue to grow?
Speaking of the Pac-12...
The LA Times wonders if the United States is due for an Olympic decline
It's no secret that the current college sports system is a major talent development tool for Olympic sports. Well-funded swimming, track and other programs give athletes the training, development and resources they need to compete at an international caliber level. As the LA Times notes here, that's a very different approach from most other countries:
Countries such as China, Russia and Germany follow a different method, identifying a relatively small number of prospects at an early age and funneling them into specialized training academies.
The U.S. relies instead on its broad network of colleges to serve as a kind of minor leagues. Casting a wide net, this system has a history of identifying and developing talent such as sprinter Carl Lewis and volleyball great Misty May-Treanor. It has given late bloomers such as Johnson, with his awkward, upright style, a few more years to mature.
As a result, the American team can choose from thousands of candidates to restock its roster every four years.
But that pipeline is now in danger of slowing to a trickle, in large part because of the COVID-19 pandemic and its financial impact, with scores of universities cutting costs by downsizing their athletic departments.
I'm actually working on a newsletter on a similar topic for Thursday, where I reached out to several experts to get a better idea if Olympic sports at the D-I level were less likely to be cut in the future, thanks to lawsuit threats, increased fundraising, and improved COVID-related financial projections. Full Extra Points subscribers will get that story in their inbox.
I don't think that a robust, broad-based college athletic system is an absolute requirement for every US Olympic team to be successful. After all, many top tennis players and gymnasts did not compete in college, and it's hard to argue the US men's basketball team is dominant because of college basketball. But in many other sports, that pipeline appears crucial.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to sound the alarm bells yet, at least not for the next Olympics or two, but if Olympic preparedness is a key issue for United States policymakers, they can't let collegiate Olympic sports programs get dropped wholesale in the support of football, without taking steps to offer replacement systems.
There are alternatives to the status quo. But if the US government isn't interested in setting up sort of Department of Sport, or funding more training academies outside the scope of universities, then somebody will need to provide the tools and incentives to supplement the current system.

Executive Summary
The US International Trade Commission ("ITC") recently suspended enforcement of its remedial orders in a patent investigation pending the appeal of a decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeals Board ("PTAB") to invalidate the patent at issue in the ITC investigation. Importantly, this recent ITC decision suggests that in certain circumstances an alleged infringer in ITC actions may be able to prevent an adverse remedial order, or suspend enforcement of such an order, provided that the alleged infringer moves quickly to challenge the validity of the patent at the PTAB and has success.
ITC Patent Actions Generally
The ITC is a popular venue for US patent owners to enforce their rights. The ITC is a federal agency with the authority to adjudicate trade related matters, including through a patent infringement investigation under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1337). Such actions involve a patent owner who is domestically exploiting its US patent rights (the "complainant") who initiates an ITC proceeding by alleging a Section 377 violation by adverse parties who import allegedly infringing goods (the "respondents"). ITC actions are presided over by an Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ"). While the ITC is not a court of law and does not have the authority to award monetary damages, the ITC can issue exclusion orders that direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to stop infringing imports at the border. Exclusion orders can be enormously costly for respondents whose goods become stuck at the border and cannot be imported into the U.S. and sold.
Patent owners often choose to initiate an ITC patent investigation because ITC proceedings move relatively quickly, with a decision typically issuing fifteen to eighteen months after initiation of the proceeding. Respondents incur substantial costs (often several million USD) in legal fees, expert fees, and related expenses over this short period of time and have few mechanisms to halt or delay the proceedings. But a recent ITC decision suggests that respondents may find relief by promptly challenging the validity of the asserted patents in a parallel proceeding before the PTAB and requesting that the ITC ALJ hold off on issuing, or suspend enforcement of, any remedial orders.
PTAB Patent Validity Challenges and Associated Stays
Accused patent infringers often request review of asserted patents' validity via a PTAB review proceeding. When a federal district court litigation involving the same patents has been first filed, the district court judge typically stays the litigation pending the outcome of the PTAB review. This decision to grant a stay depends on the relative timing of the two proceedings and whether a successful PTAB validity challenge would resolve issues in the district court litigation.
It has been uncommon, however, for ITC ALJs to issue stays pending decisions in parallel PTAB validity challenges.
Recent ITC Decision Suspending Enforcement of Remedial Order Pending PTAB Appeal
In an ITC patent investigation related to Certain Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Components Thereof (i.e., drones), the ITC suspended enforcement of its remedial order pending final resolution of a decision by the PTAB invalidating the relevant claims of the patent at issue. The ITC's suspended remedial order included a limited exclusion order on importing certain related goods, cease and desist orders, and a bond provision.
In this case, the complainant initiated the ITC patent action in August 2018. A respondent then separately filed multiple validity challenges with the PTAB, including one in November 2018 that resulted in a May 2020 final written decision invalidating all patent claims remaining at issue in the ITC action. In July 2020, the patent owner appealed the PTAB's final written decision.
In August 2020, the ITC found respondents violated Section 337. The ITC issued remedial orders but suspended the enforcement of the remedial orders pending the final resolution of the appeal of the PTAB's decision. If the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit affirms the PTAB's decision, the ITC respondents will be able to avoid any penalty from the ITC for their infringement.
The ITC's suspension of its remedial order to await related PTAB proceedings, while rare, has precedent. In an unrelated action in 2016, the ITC similarly suspended a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders barring infringing imports of certain goods after the PTAB invalidated the claims of a patent asserted in that case.
The specific timing of the ITC and PTAB actions can be an important factor. ITC actions typically result in a final written decision and remedial order within fifteen to eighteen months of the action being filed, while the PTAB typically issues a final written decision in its actions within eighteen months. Therefore, a delayed PTAB challenge could produce a favorable ruling after the ITC enforces its remedial order, costing the respondent the benefit of the invalidity ruling.
Accordingly, any respondent in an ITC patent investigation should immediately consider whether to challenge the validity of the patents at issue before the PTAB. Acting promptly before the PTAB will increase the likelihood that the respondent will benefit at the ITC from a favorable ruling by the PTAB on patent validity.
Should any company anticipate being a respondent in an ITC patent investigation, it should consider immediately initiating a patent validity challenge with the PTAB for the patents at issue. Prompt action to challenge patent validity with the PTAB could provide another avenue to effectively defeat an ITC patent investigation by preventing enforcement of any associated remedial order by the ITC, should the company be successful in invalidating the patents at issue in front of the PTAB.

Engineering a Design
The CSS/HTML architecture has a serious impact on the cost of development, integration, and maintenance of a web site.
Divide the page into a few areas.
- Top/header - the area that spans the top of the page
- Bottom/footer - horizontal span across the bottom of the page
- Middle - that which is between the header and footer
Thus, the HTML would be:

Next, subdivide the middle into three columns - left, center, right, like so:

Set up the layout in a base .CSS file. This should be a browser independent CSS file. Also create two other .CSS files, one for IE, one for Firefox to override any browser specific issues.
Place the colors in a color .CSS file. Place color (image) related dimensions in the color file, name your image files with their dimensions (x,y convention - where x=width, y=height).
background: #fff url('bg-1x768.gif') repeat-y top left;
You should have 5 files:
- index.htm
- base.css
- color.css
- ie.css
- ff.css
Adjust the layout dimensions in base.css, using background colors to help you see. Once you have the layout stable, and as you would like it, under all the browsers you want to support (usually IE6, IE7, FF), begin integrating it with the other components. This approach can be used to skin a blog, build an application, or build a simple site.
If you find you are copying index.htm, over and over, and then modifying it - you're working too hard. Switch to a hierarchical architecture using either SHTML, PHP or other languages that allow you to include content from different files. For example:
include 'header.php';
include 'left.php';
echo '

Page content here

';
include 'right.php';
include 'footer.php';
The assumption is that header, left, right, and footer.php would be the same for all the pages on the site. This approach allows you to modify the file once and affect the whole site.
Even if you have a very simple, small site, these practices will be helpful. Web sites tend to grow. They change, and if you have a good architecture, you can change them in a cost-effective manner.

Towards modelling SHARP diets, based on nutritional adequacy, sustainability metrics and population diversity parameters
Data Envelopment Analysis-based diet model serves as an elegant tool for optimizing diets in an innovative way. Its generic structure allows for a variety of
extensions to be made on top of the core model. Its common primary objective is diet health optimization, while auxiliary objectives can be diverse, for instance
diet sustainability and preferability. If the appropriate diet sustainability metric is available, its inclusion in the model is relatively straightforward, whereas diet
preferability presents a much more significant challenge. Instead of inferring consumer preferences by computing consumer similarities, as is the case with
some data envelopment analysis-based diet models, our approach is based on food item similarities, which allows for much more intuitive and diverse food
item recommendations, including those for food items that have not been observed in consumers' diets.

Germany-based juwi group has completed a 135MW solar PV plant for Energon Soleq Ravi India Power Resources in the southern Indian state of Karnataka.
The plant covers an area of 243 hectares and is situated near the village of Guttigoli, Belgaum district. It is expected to generate more than 226 million kWh of electricity each year.
Operation and maintenance of the solar power plant will be performed by juwi India, which provides maintenance, monitoring and reporting services. With this project, juwi India's current total O&M portfolio has reached 347MW and is expected to cross 500MW by this year's end, the firm said in a release.
In related news, juwi has also finalised the contracts for building a portfolio of 250MW in South Africa after being selected as preferred EPC contractor for three utility-scale PV projects in bidding round 4.
"We are expecting financial close for these projects by the end of July. We also signed the contract with our client for the sale of our self-developed 138MW wind-farm Garob in the Northern Cape. We are expecting financial close for this project by the end of August," said juwi COO Stephan Hansen.
In Australia juwi has also expanded its utility-scale solar PV project activities in Victoria and New South Wales, having recently launched a request for proposals seeking to acquire large-scale solar projects from developers and landowners in the respective states.

You guuuuyyyssss….I know I'm not going back to school but a gal livin' for a bargain won't pass up tax free weekend!
Today I am sharing 4 things you need to know about Tax Free Weekend to save even more money back to school shopping. Oh and read through today's post to see how 50 of you can win a $25 gift card for FREE!
I was thinking back to when I was in highschool a hundred years ago and laughed because I remember picking out my outfit for the first day of school like I was getting ready for fashion week. I would pick out my outfits, shoes, matching nail polish and then of course make sure my best friends were coordinating too, duh. And then I remember my second year of college and I was all "where are my leggings?" LOL This outfit is definitely a good reflection of how I would have dressed for college. Super casual. Still a bit trendy but super casual. I'm pretty sure Fila was my jam back then too. I'm happy to say it's making its way back!
Okay you guys, who likes saving money?! I know I do! As you probably already know, it is Tax Free Weekend here in Texas so here are 4 tips to shopping smarter!
1- Know what is tax exempt and what is not – Most clothing, backpacks and school supplies under $100 are tax free this weekend. See the full list here.
2- Know when tax free weekend is – Each state differs. Tax Free Weekend in Texas this year is August 10-12th.
3- Know when to start shopping – The answer is now. Whether you are shopping for yourself or for your kids, try to go in a day before to try on sizes and make a list of everything you need (sizes included) so that you can be sure to snag all the things without waiting in line for a dressing room. Even ask if the sales associate can put your items on hold for the next day. If not, at least you will know exactly what you need to grab and just need to pay or them. Tax Free Weekend is cray so this is the way to go if you still want to take advantage of the sales.
4- How to save even more money? – This is a 2 part answer. The first thing you need to do is visit this link to get your coupons that will get you an additional 25% off your purchases! Remember some stores will even apply this to clearance items!!
Another way to save even more money is knowing retailers are competing for your business so it doesn't hurt to ask for a price match if you see the item at another retailer for a lower price.
And your bonus gift for today?? The first 50 people to text in to Tanger Outlets will get a $25 gift card. Visit my Facebook here to get the code.
Happy shopping friends and let me know if you have any questions!
Oh and also, if you caught my Instagram stories this week you saw that I was at Tanger Outlet's Mommy and Me event! It was soooo much fun. Baby Weaver did not want to get out of the indoor sandbox. Yes, you heard that right, INDOOR SANDBOX! It was all indoors which is a blessing in this Texas heat! It had bounce houses, craft stations and the sandboxes. And it was inside. Did I already say that? lol. Anyway, if you missed this week's they will have another one on September 4th. If you mention my name at check in you are going to get a really nice gift!! I can't tell you what it is but I can tell you I kind of want it for myself lol. I'll be sure to post a reminder for you mama's a week before the event!

Coachella 2020 news is coming much sooner than expected this year. Specifically, it's coming via Rage Again the Machine starting up an Instagram account to announce that they're reuniting for at least a short tour next year, their first live appearances since 2011 … with Indio on April 10 and 17 capping the quick run of shows.
The other three dates listed in the post are El Paso on March 26, Las Cruces on March 28 and Phoenix on the 30th.
During their long hiatus, three members — Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford —joined forces with Public Enemy's Chuck D and B-Real of Cypress Hill as Prophets Of Rage.
Given the band's highly political nature, speculation is rampant, of course, that the 2020 timing is far from coincidental and that the band intends to make the most of rousing its fan base to take its name to heart.
Their use of social media to quietly but loudly announce new gigs follows right on the heels a similarly press-release-free tack taken the day before by My Chemical Romance. That band's Instagram reveal of a Shrine Auditorium concert in December marked the end of a lesser break, a mere six years in MCR's case.

Four Ravens Scarf
In stock
Dorothy Grant's Vintage Scarves Collection
Dorothy's garments have been described as a site of intersection. They are a creative space
where fashion meets Haida art, myth and history. Like art, fashion should not be stagnant, but
be constantly moving to convey a contemporary culture.
"DG Four Ravens Scarf"
The Raven who is able to fly above the circle, she can see the future, she looks into it
from above, she plans, then she implements, she takes all necessary steps to protect
and to succeed"
"Ravens" bring beauty to the world in the release of these elegantly hand-hemmed silk-
screened scarves. They are crafted in Silk Charmeuse, a lightweight fabric with a satin
weave giving the front of the fabric a smooth shiny finish with the back retaining a matte
"Seven Ravens" are combined in two scarves: the circular design "DG Three
Ravens" scarf features three ravens while the square design "DG Four Ravens" has
four. Ties added to two corners offer a new way to wear the scarf, making it an
accessory to complement any garment in your wardrobe.
The circular and square "Seven Raven" designs have had a long history in Dorothy's
life. In 1989 she collaborated with Robert Davidson on two button robes which debuted
in her 1989 National premier fashion show featuring a 55-piece collection held at the
Hotel Vancouver. She then exhibited her fusion of fashion and traditional art in Haida
Gwaii with models from the area. In 1991 the blankets were featured in the exhibition
"Land, Spirit, Power", National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, and later purchased for their
permanent collection.
The Raven in Northwest legends symbolizes creation, transformation, knowledge and
prestige, as well as the complexity of nature and the subtlety of truth. He also expresses
the unknown and shows that every person sees the world differently. The Raven was
often called upon to clarify truths in visions, as the wise elders knew that what the eye
sees is not always the truth.

Plant Nutrients or Fertilizer for Seedlings, Sprouts and Young Plants
Katy's garden of herbs, peppers and greens is constantly expanding as she learns new techniques and tries growing new plants!
In the seedling stage, plants are delicate and require special care. They're growing stalks and leaves while establishing a root system. This takes nutrients like phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen.
Seedling Nutrients
Before we get into what fertilizer to use for seedlings and how often to add it, let's talk about whether it's really necessary. Many gardeners swear by plant nutrients to get vegetables with high yields and beautiful, prolific flowers every year. But just as many insist plants get what they need from the soil so they keep their gardens completely organic. So, which is it?
It is true that most plants can get the nutrients they need from the soil. But that is only the case if the soil has nutrients. If your garden plot has been over-planted without more compost mixed in, there are no no more nutrients for the future plants to absorb. If you pot and plant with regular dirt and not potting soil, it can't get everything it needs from just water. Even if the soil starts out nutrient rich, the plant will use up the nutrients throughout its life and need replenishing through compost or liquid fertilizer.
Seed Starting Fertilizer
Sow your seeds directly into soil that is rich in the nutrients it needs. Any store-bought potting soil will have nutrients already mixed in. That's sufficient for the early life of your sprouts.
Never apply fertilizer directly to a seed, whether it's been germinated or not. The seed has all the nutrients it needs for very early growth.
Next, we'll get into when you should be adding liquid fertilizer to your young plants.
When to Fertilize Seedlings
The timing of adding a sprout's first fertilizer is crucial.
First True Leaves: Diluted Fertilizer
The earliest you should give a sprout nutrients is when they put out their first true set of leaves. A sprout will grow a couple thin leaves first, and the next set is normally shaped and referred to as "true leaves." Wait until you see these leaves before adding any fertilizer.
The fertilizer you do add at this point should be diluted. Read the directions for normal dilution on the label. To be on the safe side, dilute more it with one part fertilizer and at least three parts water. There's no need to overload at this point; a little will go a long way.
Re-Potting or Transplanting Into the Garden: Full Strength
Once it's time to transplant, you can think about upping the nutrients to a stronger level. If they're going into a new pot, either plant them directly into potting mix or add some liquid fertilizer. If they're going into the ground in a garden, be sure to mix in with compost and add the recommended dilution of plant nutrients.
What Fertilizer to Use
The most reliable plant nutrients for seedlings are SuperThrive and Botanica's Grow formula. SuperThrive is a good all-round formula that is good for plants at any stage. Grow will help establish the stalks and leaves faster.
Both will need to be diluted beyond their usual amount until a sprout is well-established. Build up to full strength as the plant grows.
Miracle Grow for Seedlings
Is Miracle Grow formulated for seedlings?
Miracle Grow does have nutrients that are essential for seedlings. But they likely don't need much at the seedling stage, and you can actually harm the little sprouts by adding too much.
If you do use Miracle Grow at the early stage, wait until after the first set of true leaves as recommended above. At that point, still dilute it beyond what the label recommends, and don't add it often until the plants are closer to full grown.
How to Grow Strong Seedlings
If you're looking into fertilizer and nutrient supplements for your seedlings, know that at this stage their light exposure is most important. Most plants struggle to begin life in a window environment. So if you're starting your seeds indoors read about how to use a grow light. If you've never done it before, you'll be shocked at the results!

Death Grips
Year Of The Snitch LP (Color)
Blue Sky Noise is the third studio album by rock band Circa Survive, originally released in April, 2010 through Atlantic Records. It serves as the band's first release after departing from Equal Vision Records, and is a follow-up to their second studio album, On Letting Go (2007). In November 2008, the band rented a place in Pennsylvania that they used to write material for their album. The band's recording sessions for the album were completed in late October 2009 and mixing was completed on February 1, 2010 by Rich Costey. Mastering was by Howie Weinberg. This album marks a change in stylistic direction as it deviates from the band's previous blend of post-hardcore and progressive rock toward a more refined, indie rock influenced sound.
