The Good Muslim

by Tahmima Anam

In the aftermath of the Bangladesh war of independence with Pakistan in 1971, a brother and sister seek to re-establish their former relationship but what they have seen and done during the war has fundamentally changed them. All the characters are really well drawn and it's easy to become totally absorbed in their fate and that of their new country. The middle volume of a trilogy which starts with 'A Golden Age' but works as a stand-alone read.

Zaid came and went. Maya sometimes found him squatting in the flowerbeds, picking insects out of the weeds. His Bangla was coarse, his consonants slurred. And his body was a mess. A rash that peppered his skin caused him to scratch and bleed. There was a line of small indentations on his forearm, dirt in every crease and ripple of him. He was six but looked about four, his wrists and ankles narrow, brittle. He wore identical, pale blue kurtas that were too small or too big, and a cap on his head, pushed back so that it circled his head like a crown.

The Dark Meadow

by Andrea Maria Schenkel

You do not have to be a crime genre fan to enjoy this book. It is well written and expertly translated by Anthea Bell. The story is set in Germany at the end of the second World War. The narrative moves smoothly between the past and the present by means of the accounts of the different protagonists as they revisit the crime after eighteen years. A slim book but packs a real punch.

If it hadn't been for Albert, she would never have
wasted another thought on him, just as you forgot the
dream you had in the night even before you woke up next
morning. But Albert was here, and their situation in the
house became more intolerable every day.

It is a Oracle 11i table, and APPLSYS is an Oracle11i schema.

Your auditor needs to read the documentation for Oracle8i and Oracle E-Business Suite 11i before he demands what you can't possibly deliver... or better yet, give him access to an id with select any table rights and have him find it.

I am running an Oracle database and have an auditor who is requesting that I produce a listing of all the rows in the table APPLYSY.AD_APPLIED_PATCHES. The problem I have is that table doesn't exist. We do NOT have Oracle applications and I believe that this is a table that comes with Oracle Apps 11i.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The auditor is insistent that the table should be there and is wondering what I'm trying to hide. If you can confirm this is an Oracle Apps table for me or let me know what I should run if it is just a script that I should have run that I missed.

All replies will remain confidential; I'm just trying to verify my sanity.

Dual monitors work especially fine on WindowsXP (it solves the problem where you hardware insists on the PCI being the VGA boot device, while you want the faster AGP card to be your primary display device in Windows).

The Win32 API supports dual monitor devices and allows you to specify what device you want to use for displaying a window and so on. I have not yet run into any Win32 GDI problems with menus not working and the like using dual monitors... thus in your case I suspect that Oracle Forms has its head up its ass. A normal position for Oracle Forms IMO. ;-)

Simple example (not saying that Oracle Forms does this, but this type of approach could be the problem). The secondary display device is to the left of the primary one. Your GDI X and Y axis coverage now goes into negative values - i.e. the top left corner of the primary display is (0,0). The secondary display (on the left) thus falls into the negative (X,Y) range. Some software could have a problem with this. To solve - physically swap the two monitors around and then also reposition the display devices positions via the Display Control Panel Applet.

Or software can use physical GDI coordinates for detecting hotspots (not using the GDI mouse-over/mouse-click WM_ messages) - which also can cause problems due to the "unusual" GDI X,Y axis values returned which the app is not programmed to handle.

This btw is implemented differently on Linux. There the display is truly a *single* display over two physical devices (whereas Windows treats these as a distinct display device per physical monitor).

As you now explain yourself I agree. Usually those words are used to promote the concept of vanilla SQL rather than bulk binds and other proprietary code that can vastly increases scalability and performance.

Oregon Music News: Oregon’s all-genre music magazine since 2009

Lauren Sheehan and Zoë Carpenter: ‘Tillamook Burn’ – From OMN the Mag

It’s a lovely thing when a family sings and plays music together, even more so when they record and perform as professional musicians. We have a happy group of them in Oregon: the Torres family, including father Bobby with two sons and a daughter; Janice Scroggins’ two daughters are fine singers; as is Thara Memory’s daughter, Tahira.

Lauren Sheehan and Zoë Carpenter are mother and daughter with a new EP called Tillamook Burn of Country/Piedmont Blues. Perhaps it is because they used to be neighbors of mine and I did a TV story on Sheehan in which I shot the two of them singing together in 2007, but there is something special that happens when the two of them sing.

Carpenter now lives in Washington, D.C., where she is Assistant Washington Editor for the Nation Magazine. She’s also written for Rolling Stone. Sheehan has continued to build on her past successes, an album every year or so of carefully considered soft-spoken Blues. It is obvious that the music here is that with which they have had a long familiarity.

They are joined by legendary harmonica player Phil Wiggins on his tune “Roberta”, bassist Laura Quigley (Misty River, Flat Mountain Girls), and mandolinist Greg Clarke on the traditional “Honey Baby Blues.”

If there ever was a heart-warming labor of love, it’s this album. Maybe it’ll make you want to sing with your family.

New comp, need help to decide what mobo to get

    So, my old comp kinda broke down, so I have to buy a new one now (and no, I cant wait for clawhammer, thats like... MONTHS WITHOUT A COMP! :O), but I cant decide what mobo to get, so.. HELP! :p
    And please, please, please, please, please, DO NOT tell me that I'm a stupid mother****** if I buy a P4, but thats what I've decided.. I'm gonna buy a P4, HA! ;) So, I need a good mobo which supports ddr333 (if ddr400, better) and has a good over-all performance / overclockability 'n' stuff.

    I've been told that ddr333 and 400 are not "standard" memories or something, and that I should avoid them. Any point in this?

    MSI 648 MAX or MSI 645E MAX2-LRU are good. DDR2700 (333) shouldn't be any problems with.

Request - banner for website

Discussion in 'Graphic Design' started by Unleashed, Nov 12, 2006.

  1. Hi guys,
    I have a bit of a dilemma - I have absolutely no artistic skill whatsoever, and I require a banner for a thing my dad and a friend of his are setting up.
    Basically, it's a free advice site about sports nutrition, homeopathy in sports and bodybuilding. There's a basic FAQ, but if you have an advanced question you can email them your question and they'll answer it on the site.
    What I'm asking for is a banner for the top of the site 780 x 150 wide that essentially is a collage of sports nutrition related items i.e. images of fruit, vitamins, supplements, weight benches etc.

    You will be most welcome to advertise yourself and your website on the banner as well.

  2. muzikool

    muzikool Act your wage. Political User

    I've done some banners before, but nothing with a collage of images, so I'm not sure that I'm up to the challenge. It would be easier if you or your Dad would find the images and then maybe I (or someone else) could put them all together. Stock photo websites would be a good place to look.
  3. deboz

    deboz just wait till I finish

    What's suppose to be written on the banner's name? and what's the color scheme you want to use? and how flashy u want it to look(i don't do flashy anyhow). Does it have to be animated? u need to give the FORUM more info if u want help? or u got it already?

Big Brother 16 - Recap - Episode 24

We start right away with game play..... everyone is scrambling to save themselves from the block.

First, Derrick manages to convince Frankie it's a good idea to keep Victoria off the block, and she's over the moon about it.  The Detonators decide that instead, it's a good idea to nominate Donny.

Who wants to see the HOH room???  Am I the only one who's kind of like "Meh" at this point?  Yeah, I know, Frankie's sister is Ariana Grande... fun, but I wasn't really sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to hear her letter.  Frankie's excited that he's now "free to be who he is" because he revealed that Ariana is his sister.  So, of course, there are lots of pictures of her.  And through her letter to him we learn (spoiler alert) she's opening the VMAs.  Then we get to see about 2 pictures of Derrick's.

Derrick pulls Donny aside to tell him he will be nominated.  Awww.

Now, the next #TeamAmerica challenge - they need to steal favourite pieces of clothing from each houseguest and then organize a neighbourhood watch for 24 hours straight.  They decide to take Christine's classes, Cody's Ruggers shirt, Caleb's bunny slippers, and Zach's Gator shirt.

Now, the Detonators have to decide who is going to be nominated.  Of course, no one wants to go up on the block.  Everyone is equally stressed.  So everyone sits in silence.  Eventually, Caleb mentions how many times he volunteered to be nominated.... then they decide that picking skittles drawn out of a hat will determine who is nominated.  Hilarious.

Christine is drawn to go up against Donny and needs to throw it.  She's not happy.  Then Cody and Caleb are picked.  They're not happy.  Zach's happy though.  I think he forgets though that there's still the Veto.

A little montage of Cody and Christine's touchy feely relationship.  Frankie says they're always touching. Donny says it's weird how much she touches him considering she's married.  Cut to Christine in the diary room..... where she says the flirting is just a strategy to help win.  Riiiigggghhhhtttt.

Back to nomination talk.  Caleb suggests that Zach should be backdoored if Donny wins POV.  Derrick likes the idea.

Derrick and Frankie try to convince Donny that he is not a target this week, I don't think he's buying it.

On to the nomination ceremony - Derrick nominates Derrick and Christine.  Frankie nominates Cody and Caleb.

Frankie makes some jokes during his nominations... Donny doesn't smile.

On to the Battle of the Block.  Teams have to search in the dark for bones and put it on their board.  Donny figures out that Christine is throwing the competition and wins the whole thing himself.... and celebrates in the cutest way...... How can people not  love him.  He says he's not trying to brag, but he won that challenge all by himself.  Yes he did.

Looks like Zingbot and Kathy Griffin are up next on Wednesday.

My Blogging Break

You may or may not have noticed that it has been rather silent on this blog lately.  Save for a few apologies that I posted, I did not generate a lot of content this summer.  Although I do this blog out of pure interest, I do find that I periodically need a "break" from posting.  That may sound funny considering this is an enjoyable pastime for me, but hear me out.  You may have seen people take "technology breaks" or breaks from Facebook, this was my version.  Also, I'm not strong enough to take a complete technology break yet.

I always said that this blog would be about posting for fun and other therapeutic ranting I wanted to do, and I always told myself that if it ever felt like a struggle to come up with content, I would stop.  I decided to take a break when I found I was struggling to find time to write and it was stressing me out.  That was my sign that I needed a break.

Now, I'm back on the blogging train.  I feel refreshed and ready to post again.  So I hope you're ready for some random rambling, travel tips, reality tv and celebrity talk, and other random nonsense from an "overtired mama".

Got a youngster who’d love to drive? ‘Young Driver’ is for you. Jonathan Crouch and daughters try it.

Remember when you first learnt to drive? It probably seems a long time ago but perhaps you can just recall the feeling of excitement and anticipation that accompanied the first time you got behind the wheel. If you’ve children aged between 10 and 17, a session on the Young Driver programme will bring it all flooding back.

The concept behind ‘Young Driver’ is pretty straight forward - that of giving older youngsters a chance to drive in a safe, controlled environment. And learn all the basics so when the time comes for proper driving lessons, they’ve got a head start.

There’s probably a Young Driver day being organised at a local car park or shopping centre somewhere near you – there are venues all round the UK. You can find a list of vehicles and dates on Vauxhall’s sponsorship of the programme makes a lot of sense as surveys often show that the first car people ever drive is also the first one they end up choosing to buy.

When it comes to Young Driver, the model in question is Vauxhall’s Corsa supermini which has long been a favoured choice by driving schools around the country. This car’s great all-round visibility, easy steering and a light clutch are all attributes that help in this kind of tuition.

Recent research by Vauxhall that looked at the driving habits of 1,000 children and their parents, shows the real need for programmes of this sort. Their survey found that around two fifths (41 per cent) of parents are terrified at the thought of their kids driving them around when they’re learning, with nearly half (42 per cent) of parents admitting to forgetting the highway code themselves.

For parents who bravely take the role as driving instructor, nearly one in five trips resulted in a dented car, along with a quarter admitting to having snapped when sitting in the instructor’s seat. What’s more, despite over half of kids (53 per cent) thinking dad is a better driver than mum, 20 per cent of driving lessons with dad resulted in a crash, according to the survey responents – compared to only 8 per cent for mums.

“You need a very patient, friendly instructor for this kind of thing and ‘Young Driver’, it seems, has plenty of them…..”

So how does the Young Driver programme work? With two daughters who fall into the required age group, Amy 12 and Ellie 16, I thought I’d go and find out. It was a particularly good test as both are at different stages in the initial driving learning process, Ellie having done quite a lot at low speeds on private land. Amy though had done virtually nothing. I found a Young Driver day taking place locally to us in Horsham, Sussex and booked an hour for each of the girls. Prices start from £36.45 per half hour. Each girl at registration was given their own driving diary in which, they were told, they would be able to record their progress.

You need a very patient, friendly instructor for this kind of thing and ‘Young Driver’, it seems, has plenty of them. I sat in with Tony to start with, who was looking after Amy and introducing her to quite a few of the basics. She mastered the starting procedure quickly enough, but needed some help with steering and special awareness. Ellie, being slightly more advanced, was able to move on to intricacies like coned slaloms and three point turns.

At the end of the hour, both girls had progressed a huge amount, not only in technique but also in confidence - to an extent that would have taken me weeks of nail-biting Sunday afternoon excursions to the local supermarket car park. Try it with your own children and you’ll probably be left with the same feeling I had at the end of it all. Just this: wish they’d had this when I was that age.

Distance 6.51 miles (10.41 km)
As our name suggests, woods play an important part in the topography of the course. Designed by Simon Gidman, the par 73 course is set in 170 undulating acres of what was once an extensive woodland. Two loops of nine holes play in opposite directions around a 30 acre wood, which lies at the centre of the course. Testing natural hazards come courtesy of 13 lakes, some impressive ground vegetation and a richness of fine, mature trees, most of which are specimen oaks. Great care has been taken to set out the 18 holes in such a way that each fairway and green has its own distinctive character and offers its own particular challenge.

Each homeroom in the Middle School has a room representative who attends each Student Council meeting, reporting back to the class the information discussed in the meeting. Running for one of the executive offices entails a short campaign, a campaign speech and selection by a ballot vote. Sixth through eighth graders are eligible to run for president while fifth through eighth grade students are eligible to run for vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Elections are held every year in May.

Our Student Council represents our school by being role models, assisting teachers, making presentations on behalf of the school, sharing requests by their classmates, and most importantly, planning social events for their fellow middle school students. Past events have included school dances, movie nights and off-campus events, such as Amazing Jakes.

"I've really enjoyed being Student Council President this year.  It has taught me about leadership and responsibility by letting me plan events for my peers."

-Marisa Greenberg

Student Council Events Have Included:

  • Amazing Jakes
  • Movie Night
  • School Dance
  • Ice Skating

Changes to Consumer rights: Key Issues for the 2015 Parliament

With impressive speed, the system that defines, upholds and protects consumers’ rights has been reviewed, dismantled and completely rebuilt. The objective of these changes has been to empower consumers by creating a simplified and enhanced legal regime that affords greater rights when buying goods and services.

Taken together, the legislative changes and structural reforms of the last Parliament have created a new consumer landscape. Whether they will now succeed will depend crucially on how well consumers and traders understand their rights and responsibilities under the new regime.

The biggest legislative overhaul for decades

There were two principal factors behind the legislative changes in the 2010 Parliament. First, the adoption in October 2011 of the EU Consumer Rights Directive  required, among other things, that consumers be comprehensively informed before any contract is entered into.

Most of the requirements of the Directive have now been implemented in the UK through the ‘Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Payments) Regulations 2013’.

The second driver was the findings of a series of consultations on consumer laws held in the UK between March and November 2012. Responses not only highlighted areas of duplication, inconsistency and uncertainty in law and enforcement, but also evidence of consumer detriment.

This has led to the Consumer Rights Act (the ‘CRA’), expected to come into force on 1 October 2015.

The Act, which represents the biggest overhaul of consumer law for decades, sets out in one place key consumer rights covering contracts for goods, services, digital content and the law relating to unfair terms in consumer contracts. It introduces important new protections for consumers alongside measures designed to lower regulatory burdens for business.

The Government estimates that reform of consumer law will bring quantifiable net benefits of £4 billion to the UK economy over 10 years.

For the ‘man on the street’, the Act is intended to create a simple, modern framework of consumer law across all sectors. Of course, for the full impact and purported economic benefits to be realised, consumers and traders will need to become adept at using the new regime.

Core consumer rights under the new regime:

  • Right to get what you pay for - all information about the main characteristics of the goods, including statements made in advertising or on labels, to form part of the contract.
  • Right to have faults in what you buy put right - clearer tiered remedies in the event that a consumer’s rights are breached, including a mandatory 30-day period in which to reject faulty goods. Traders limited to one opportunity to repair/replace faulty goods (if possible), following which the consumer can demand a discount or return the goods and demand a refund.
  • Right that digital content is fit for purpose - digital content to have its own separate regime of rights and remedies to be applied both to paid-for content (including where paid with ‘virtual’ currencies) and content that is provided free with paid goods, services or other digital content (e.g. apps and in-app purchases and open source software). Provisions have been drafted to accommodate future developments (for example, content provided in return for consumer data).
  • Right that traders perform services with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable time, with the consumer obliged to pay a reasonable price. The consumer has the right to ask for a repeat performance of services not performed properly or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time, a right to a price reduction.
  • Drawing on the recommendations of the Law Commission, the Consumer Rights Act replaces and expands on the current rules regarding unfair terms in consumer contracts.

Alongside significant organizational changes

The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) closed its doors on 31 March 2014. Its functions have been split between a number of public sector and voluntary bodies, as illustrated in the diagram.

Most notably, consumer law enforcement has been split between the new Competition Markets Authority (CMA) and Trading Standards. The CMA is responsible for unfair terms enforcement (for instance, unfair ticket terms and conditions), while Trading Standards is responsible for preventing unfair trading practice (for instance, advertising, promotion and selling practices).

And if things still go wrong?

The hard-done-by consumer can always try Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). A new  ADR Directive, adopted in June 2013, aims to provide in every Member State a fast, cheap and informal way for consumers to settle disputes with traders out of court, through the intervention of an approved ADR entity (such as an arbitrator, conciliator, mediator, or ombudsman). The Directive must be transposed into UK law by 9 July 2015.

Early day motion 69

Main content

Follow this EDM by:

That this House welcomes the decision to create a fairer funding formula for schools across the UK; is concerned that whilst funding for some local authority schools will increase, other local authorities will see a reduction in school funding; is further concerned that Coventry schools will face cuts of 2.4 per cent; regrets that this will leave schools in Coventry with a £29 million deficit by 2020 and that schools across the UK will be left with a £3 billion deficit by 2020; is concerned that cuts on such a scale would hit staff numbers and impact on the standard of education provided to students, not just in Coventry but across the UK; and calls on the Government to reconsider its plans and to fund an education system that will not see funding cut from any schools and that works for all children.

Pizza Restaurant
Job Applications

Because of the food popularity, pizza restaurant job applications can be one of the most in-demand locations to work.  Italian cuisine is certainly one of the favorite fast food selections of many patrons. Because of this, most cities and small towns have one or more choices for eager customers.  While some locations have online options, a number of pizza restaurant job applications are local and paper-based.  If interested, never rule out the practice of asking specifically for the manager.  He or she may have a printed copy of the store's application.  If so, complete it while in the store and include a simple resume.  Any previous experiences working with food preparation will be beneficial.  Discuss previous related employment associated with restaurant service, school activities and family / kitchen understanding.  That's right - experiences in your own kitchen - cooking, recipe preparation and clean-up -can be revealing of your potential.

Common positions include - cashiers, cooks, food preparation cooks, delivery drivers, assistant managers and managers. These are favorite locations of adults of all ages. While employed, you can enjoy the opportunity to increase the range of work experiences on your resume. Many individuals begin and complete basic culinary skills at a fast food location in preparation for a higher-end restaurant.

Managers always expect positive customer service. Individuals should always welcome customers with a friendly greeting and assit with menu items. Knowing the menu and offering choices is a must.

Printable and on-line applications are listed below. Look for one of the following stores near your location:

Why Do Torture And Increased Police Authority Increasingly Appeal To Americans?

The Economist has a chart on views on torture which reports a disquietingly high amount of tolerance among Americans for the practice:

OPINIONS on whether the use of torture should be prohibited appear to vary widely around the world. According to opinion polls conducted early in 2008 respondents in western European democracies such as Britain and Spain were most hostile to the idea of even some degree of use of torture, whereas residents in big but poorer countries such as Nigeria, Turkey and India seemed most willing to tolerate the idea (perhaps in these three cases because of violent domestic threats to political stability). Surprisingly, democracies are not necessarily more hostile to the practice than non-democracies. According to the polls, Americans are more willing to tolerate the use of torture than are Chinese.

While it is clear that democracy does not necessarily correlate with approval for torture, I wonder what psychological forms the democratic approval of torture specifically takes.  What democratic attitudes can lead to pro-torture mindsets and why?  I’m interested in why specifically American values are increasingly morphing into a desire FOR a police state and for the right to torture (at least among sizable minorities or slim majorities)—what is it about our culture that unmoors us from democratic idealism that knows how to protect the abstract principles which preserve our freedoms? I think, in short, that it’s a combination of many things and so offer these tentative, philosophical speculations, subject to correction from empirical and historical studies and from salient philosophical objections::

Pragmatism Run Amok
First: our pragmatism which gets insanely frustrated with inefficiency. Civil liberties deliberately make state power inefficient for the protection of the innocent and the rights of the individual against the state and the collective mob.

Technological Ethos

Second: technology both creates practices of efficiency and an ethos of efficiency.  Our police have more tools and with them comes a more efficient way of controlling and habits and attitudes which prefer such efficiency.  So, the technological ability combined with our pragmatism has us saying, “why not?” about letting state power creep further into the lives of suspects.

Positive Experience With Police

Thirdly, the assumption that the police are always in the right and that those they deal with are either criminal or are criminal if they question police power comes from identifying with the police.  Since a majority of Americans (but not groups chronically victimized by the police like African Americans) don’t experience “police state” abuses, they identify with the cops as the good guys as their default and trust them.  They assume since they’re innocent, they personally have nothing to worry about and it’s only the “bad people” who have anything to worry about.  The total opposite of our founders’ view of the state.

Because most of us feel so relatively free to pursue our course in life and to express ourselves, it is easy for us to lose sight of the horrors of what it would be like to live in a police state or what it will be like when our liberties keep eroding.  Similarly, it is hard for us to empathize with the victims of torture because we do not associate innocent people with state crimes against them.

Ethnic Religious Nationalism

Fourth, this breaks down along insidious color barriers (like this example makes exceedingly clear).  The “tea party” movement is a white Christianist movement that considers themselves the true heirs to the founders while simultaneously being members of the same fascist right wing that advocates Cheney’s horrific torture regime as legitimate.  The mere presence of an African American president gives rise to all manners of call for revolt and charges of “betrayal of the constitution”—but torture, murder, rogue contractors, etc. employed by Bush and Cheney?  That’s “patriotism.”  What this bespeaks is pure nationalistic, reflexively racist, authoritarianism.  The tea party movement evokes the founders with no respect for their ideals but rather as the traditional authorities.  And in their authoritarian mindset, the traditional authorities and racial legacy are trumping any other considerations of fairness.  It’s a really classic barbaric, tribalistic spirit.

And in this tribalistic mindset the cops and the inreasingly fundamentalist Christian military are taken to be on the side of the Christian-American anointed order, defending what was bequeathed to us by Moses, Jesus, and George Washington.  Morality and legality are purely relative to membership in this tradition.  The designated representatives of Christian nationalistic thinking can make laws that preserve the Christian State even if they involve torture because, being inherently good and guided by God, leaders like Bush and Cheney mean well and advance the cause of the just people.

Super Powers Corrupt Superbly

Fifthly, being a superpower helps corrupt our consciences to feel like our might makes everything we do beyond reproach.  The brute realities of equal power force people to respect each other.  The corruption that comes from our feelings of omnipotence (we can blow up the world) and our invincibility is that we are tempted by the view that the rest of the world must appease our will, that it has no right to criticize us, and that we are so powerful because we are inherently good and favored by God.

Considering ourselves to be invincible because of our status as reigning “world’s only superpower” we are easily tempted by the fantasy that the rest of the world is beneath us, that people outside our country are dependent on our generosity, morally inferior to us, and unable to retaliate against us.  Such hubris likely plays a part in our attitude that anyone who we deem to have “misbehaved” outside of our borders is someone we may do with as we wish.

Because we do not respect their power, it’s easier to feel diminished sense of obligation to be careful in how we treat them.  We feel like the rest of the world lives at our mercy to begin with—we could nuke you all if we wanted.  And since we like to tell ourselves that we never fight a war for ignoble reasons but get dragged into them by the Hitlers and Saddam Husseins of the world, our every use of our disproportionate powers of violence is wholly morally justified and even our most fatal mistakes cannot be held against us because we always have only the best intentions at heart.

In short, American “exceptionalism” when connected to fantasies of omnipotence correlates closely with the dangerous psychology of the powerful which reasons that they are exceptional and therefore the rules do not apply to them (or apply in the same way).

Terrorism Traumatizes Invincibility Fantasies

Sixth, this superpower, omnipotent mindset was traumatized by a breach of the myth of our invincibility.  And so the right wing backlash has been against the inefficiencies that that make us vulnerable.  So the Patriot Act and the John Yoo memos, et al. are introduced as pragmatic means to reassert our feelings of invincibility.  And now, because we have been so spoiled, with the belief in our invincibility, we do not take vulnerabilities well and so are manipulable according to our fears.

The Wrong Lessons From Experience of Personal Sovereignty

Seventh, our wide latitude of personal political freedoms and personal abilities to easily manipulate the world technologically make us less willing or able to cope with frustration.  Again making efficiency paramount and the ability to cope with the frustrations of a justice that sometimes hinders a good acceptable to us.

When you live with the attitude that you are in control of your own life and that no one has any inherent right to force you to do anything against your will, you are encouraged in an kind of attitude that in other places and times only sovereigns were entitled to.  Of course democracy can, and hopefully usually does, encourage a Kantian mindset for which all of us are equally sovereigns and subjects who must respect each other’s personal sovereignty over their own lives just as they respect ours over our own.  Now, of course, this spirit of personal sovereignty can also be the impetus for rabid civil liberties vigilance (like it is in me and which I would hope it would be in others).

But it’s also possible that we can get carried away with our expectation that everything will go our sovereignly chosen ways and become impatient with the resistance of our enemies, or the world itself, to conform to our wishes.  And hence, there might be a heightened willingness to spin irrational justifications for what we want to believe and to be tempted by violence to coerce those who defy us.  And then torture and other fascist tactics become very understandable.

Our Softening Personal Virtues Compensated For With Violent Protection

Eighth, because we are so insulated from the immediate harshness of war in our homeland or even brute struggles against the elements or even the rough and tumble of a more macho personal ethics, many of us are softer and more prone towards fear of violence and instability and will latch onto those who protect our feelings of safety.  We’re a sociable, polite, laissez-faire people who frown on almost all interpersonal physical harm to an unusual extent, so to protect us we grant the state the right to kick the shit out of the violent for us.  Very Hobbesian.  Plus, for those of us personally so soft and inexperienced with real violence, we simultaneously underestimate how serious violence is.  It’s all revenge fantasy.  See the infamous and despicable chicken hawk phenomenon.

Guilty Gratitude Towards Service People Makes Us Too Deferent To Their Moral Authority

Ninth: Because the majority of us do live in relative comfort and freedom and need not kill for ourselves (neither our enemies nor our food), we feel extremely guilty about having to send some of us into harm’s way.  And since we are no longer the sort of people for whom military service is something everyone feels obliged to do, we are tempted by increasing feelings of guilt to praise military service as itself ennobling.  Service people, by simply donning uniforms and risking death are in another moral category and wind up being revered out of a guilty gratitude to the point that they can do no wrong.  Because it’s been a couple generations since it was considered just a minimal dutifulness to serve one’s country with arms, we are now split between those who serve and those who feel ashamed to criticize those who serve.

In other cultures (or for past generations of Americans), courage was proven on the battlefield.  In our culture, it’s now proven in the enrollment office.

Soldiery itself becomes for some an unqualifiedly virtuous existence and soldiers are confused for the providers of freedom and justice rather than one of the means just leaders use to attain or maintain authority by which they provide justice and freedom.   This is a fundamental difference obscured blithely by the right wing in this country when it holds dissenting thinkers, artists, journalists, and politicians in contempt for ever daring to question the military.  The corruption is when they say that the soldier himself guarantees freedom and justice.  Soldiers only seek to overthrow orders or maintain them.  It is just thinking and legislating that leads to justice.  Soldiers, of themselves, protect both tyrannies and just societies.

And, so, the esteem for soldiers and police gets raised up since these are superior moral people to the rest of us and so the attitude becomes that they deserve our deference, we must not be so selfish to put our rights before their concern for the law and order they provide us.  We should assume they are rightly inspecting us out of justifiable fears of danger and their hands should not be tied by abstract civil liberties that would free the guilty on an inefficient technicality which some soulless lawyer is going to try to exploit.

In Sum

So, for different people, some different combination of these various attitudes and practices are making it so that a democratic people adopts fascist views of law enforcement and military operations.

And anyone familiar with the historical pattern of democracies transforming themselves into tyrannies (just as Plato described would happen) is justly worried about these trends.

How to Buy

I don’t sell any anything, I am just trying to give ideas.

If you like something you see, click on the link and ask for a sample.  Small (usually free) samples are fine, but if you are buying a large pattern, you might want to ask for a larger returnable sample. Do always ask for samples, you can’t really get the colour, scale and texture from a screen shot.  Remember that all fabrics have been photographed in different lights so in the scheme they may look tonally different – the only way to really tell is by getting samples and looking at them together yourself.

If you are choosing a paint, get a sample pot and paint some on the wall or a large piece of card. Remember to do 2 or 3 coats, it does make a difference.  Also think about the paint finish you want and ask advice from the retailer if you are not sure.

Remember this site is about inspiration. Play around with different ideas. Mix patterns and texture. Experiment.

If you are working to a budget, consider quantities.  Curtains generally use more fabric than blinds. A really expensive fabric on a blind, a single chair, a footstool or a few cushions can make as much impact for less money than a volumous pair of curtains.  Likewise wallpaper which is a great and usually more cost effective way to add impact and colour to a room.

A general rule of thumb is to play safe on curtains, as you will have them for years. It is easier and cheaper to replace cushions, repaint the walls or repaper if you want to update a look.

Have fun….. and remember

… pattern and colour can transform a space.

… too many different types of pattern can be tricky to get to work unless you are an expert; if you are not sure, one hero pattern will do, or start off safe and layer with different patterns and colour as you feel more confident about the look.

… it’s better to buy modest amounts of a beautiful, good quality fabric for a blind, cushion or small armchair than to buy large amounts of fabric for curtains and sofas that you can just about tolerate.

… the quickest, least expensive way to add pattern and colour to a room is with wallpaper.

… dark colours tend to work better in dark rooms than in pale ones.

… heavy, interlined curtains don’t just look great they also insulate a room from cold and noise and absorb internal sound.

… textured fabric – particularly linen and wool – will add a completely new dimension to curtains and upholstery.

Above all, choose something because you love it.

The work entailed working with young Traveller men and women through the Critical Social Education model of youth work.

In 2015 it was decided that TravAct in Coolock was better placed to provide direct youthwork and so in that year Pavee Point’s Youth Team transferred to TravAct, Coolock (Contact Paddy Collins, Youthworker: Tel: 01-8486515)

Our Approach

Over the years Pavee Point developed an approach to youthwork that was delivered through three methods. Firstly we conducted outreach work, which looks at encouraging young Travellers to integrate in regional youth work services in each catchment area, as well as informing Traveller young people aBridgy Collins Youth Worker Pavee Pointbout what our own programme could offer them.

Secondly through detached work, which meets young people where they are and within their physical environment. In this way the youthwork programme gets a better understanding of the issues facing young Travellers and hears first hand about their lived experiences.

Thirdly we worked through centre based activities at a dedicated premises.

Each of the methods is focused on a fun, interactive and fulfilling experience which allows the young people to analyse their lived experiences and looks to provide the conditions for the participants to collectively engage in a process of challenging the inequalities they encounter.

Facts and Figures on Youth

According to the All-Ireland Traveller Health Study (2010) there are approximately 36,224 Travellers in the south of Ireland, 42 % of which are under 15 years of age. Among the general public  21% are under 15. Furthermore 63% of Traveller population is under 25 compared with only 35% of the general public.Croagh Patrick 2014

Recently in Ireland, the unemployment rate amongst the population dominated media columns. In 2014, 29% of 15-29 year olds are unemployed, well above the EU average of 15.4%.

So how do young Travellers fair in comparison with these statistics? Astonishingly 84.3% of Travellers, (a huge percentage of which are under 25 years of age) are faced with unemployment.

Our youthwork programme also invested a lot of time and support for furthering LGBTQ awareness and rights, playing a pivotal role in the development of the first Traveller and Roma specific LGBTQ poster in partnership with BeLonGTo Youth Services and the LGBT Pavee Forum in 2014. Youth groups from Pavee Point have also marched in Dublin Pride for a number of years. You can listen to some audio of the poster development process with input from young people here.

In the latter years our youth groups produced a number of videos targeting young Travellers and drawing attention to Traveller culture.

The Positive Twist of Ally
In 2013, as part of the Reel Youth film festival, youth groups created ‘The Positive Twist of Ally’, a video focusing on boxing and self harm, promoting positive mental health and support services.

Let’s Talk About Drugs
Let’s Talk About Drugs was created in 2014 and utilises photographs of Travellers and Traveller sites to discuss issues around addiction for the Awareness resource

Hearing Aid Tips

Hearing aids represent a major investment in your hearing health.

While they are sure to improve your communication abilities, they do take some getting used to initially. The following tips can help you adjust to wearing hearing aids on a daily basis and improve your ability to successfully treat your hearing loss.

  • Care for your hearing devices. Along with daily cleaning and regularly replacing your wax filters, it’s important to keep your hearing aids dry and away from extreme heat and cold. These rules will help extend the life of your hearing devices and maximize their functionality and value.
  • Adjust the volume. As a new hearing device user, it will take time to learn the settings that most improve your hearing in various situations. Typically, you can rely on today’s technology to make volume adjustments for you. If you manually set the volume, take care to not turn it too high; loud noise can further damage your hearing.
  • Take time to adjust. Hearing aids of every style take time to get used to, but taking advantage of your adjustment period is key to long-term hearing device success. If your hearing aids feel foreign or uncomfortable, try adjusting rather than removing them, giving yourself time to acclimate to your new equipment.
  • Participate in discussions. For the first few weeks, you may be so busy worrying about your hearing aids’ volume and functionality that you become distracted from conversations. Rather than focusing on your hearing devices, spend time actively participating in discussions and conversations, which will help you naturally and smoothly adapt to wearing hearing aids.
  • Move to improve your hearing. Public spaces and events such as movie theaters, religious services, plays and lectures are often challenging for those who are hard of hearing. While sitting right in front may have been the best bet before you began using hearing aids, your new devices will affect the acoustics in many of these situations. Try out different spots within a venue as you adjust to your hearing aids to find the best location for your hearing needs.
    • Along with these tips, there are plenty of other ways to make the experience with your new hearing devices more successful. To find out more, talk to your doctor at PDX ENT & Audiology about your personalized hearing needs.

Cop stops to help driver, driver runs away

A stranded motorist whose car broke down in the middle of an Upper Darby road yesterday had an unusual reaction when a police officer stopped to help him - he ran away.

Upper Darby Ofc. Stephen Tarozzi was on patrol around 1:13 p.m. when he saw a car broken down in the middle of Marshall Road near Powell Lane that appeared to have a broken axle, police said.

As Tarozzi made a u-turn to help the stranded motorist, he saw the driver, who was later identified as Omar Quadar Hooks, walk away from his vehicle, according to court documents. As Tarozzi approached the car, Hooks picked up his pace and kept glancing over his shoulder at the cop, police said.

Tarozzi had to yell to Hooks to stop and when he finally did, Hooks denied that the broken-down car was his, police said. He claimed to have walked from Philadelphia and said he was going to his girlfriend's house, but he didn't know where it was, according to court documents.

That's when Tarozzi asked for Hooks' identification, because he thought he was either trying to flee an accident scene or that the car may have been stolen.

Hooks claimed he didn't have an I.D. and initially gave Tarozzi a false name and birth date that actually checked out, police said. However, when Hooks could not provide his Social Security number or address cops began looking for his PENNDOT photo but could not find one. Another officer who arrived at the scene actually recognized Hooks from prior contact. Hooks then admitted to his true identity, according to court documents.

Turns out, Hooks had two warrants out for his arrest and his license was DUI-suspended, police said. He was placed in the back of Tarozzi's cruiser but before they drove away, Hooks asked the officer to stop and grab the keys to his car, which he had thrown on the street near the vehicle.

Hooks claimed the car was his mother's, but police have not yet been able to contact the registered owner.
