10 Ways The Hamilton Musical Is Different From The Biography It’s Based On

by Derek V. DeShane

As we approach September 25th, the first anniversary of the release of the Hamilton soundtrack, let’s relive some of the best songs and discover more about the historical events they are based on. First off, let me just say that Hamilton (the musical) is an incredibly entertaining work and Lin-Manuel Miranda (LMM) is a genius. I don’t believe it was ever intended to be a precise retelling of history, but instead an extremely fun and dramatic story about one of the lesser-known founding fathers of the United States. This list is not meant to criticize the historically inaccurate parts of the musical, but rather to paint a more complete picture about some of the interesting aspects of the story based on the biography ‘Alexander Hamilton’, written by Ron Chernow.

  1. “Angelica, Eliza…and Peggy, the Schuyler sisters”

Everyone loves the Schuyler sisters; Angelica, the intelligent and captivating oldest sister, Eliza the loving and fiercely loyal younger sibling, and Peggy with her very brief appearance in the musical spawned the “and Peggy” punchline as seen on T-shirts. If the song included all of the Schuyler sisters it would have been “Angelica, Eliza…and Peggy…and Cornelia”. Ultimately there ended up being five Schuyler sisters if you count Catherine, who was born later. Beyond the sisters, there were also three Schuyler brothers: John, Phillip and Rensselaer.

(And Peggy!)

  1. Angelica is “never satisfied”.

In the musical, Angelica meets Hamilton first and is instantly smitten, but then introduces him to Eliza since, as the eldest, she sees it as her duty to marry for status and money, of which Hamilton had neither at that point in his life. The song “Satisfied” retells the story of their meeting from Angelica’s perspective. In the song’s version of events, Angelica and Eliza are both unmarried and eligible. In reality, Angelica was already married by the time she met Hamilton and her name was Angelica Church. She had married the very wealthy John Church, who is later referenced in the song “Non-Stop”; “I have found a wealthy husband who will keep me in comfort for all my days”. The facts however do not refute that Angelica may have been, in actuality, “never satisfied”. There was a very strong affection, perhaps even lust between Angelica and Alexander for the rest of his life. Their letters confirm that they had strong feelings for one another, but despite rumors to the contrary, there is no clear evidence that they ever had an affair.

(Angelica Church, her son and her servant)

  1. “Farmer Refuted”

The song “Farmer Refuted” recounts part of Hamilton’s development as an intellectual force to fight against the loyalist voices of those opposed to the revolution. In the song, we hear from Samuel Seabury who makes an impassioned plea for loyalty to Britain. The scene plays out like a debate in a public square with Hamilton offering withering criticism of Seabury’s arguments and topping it off with some creative personal insults like, “My dog speaks more eloquently…but strangely your mange is the same!” In reality, this debate did occur, but all in printed form as pamphlets or in newspapers with Seabury and Hamilton both writing anonymously. Each man completed several volumes, responding to one another over a period of months. Seabury, a known loyalist and widely suspected of being the author known as “A Westchester Farmer” was later seized by a patriot militia, paraded through the streets and imprisoned.

(Samuel Seabury)

  1. Washington’s “Right Hand”.

In the song “Right Hand Man”, we learn how Hamilton came to become George Washington’s most trusted advisor. The song also features Aaron Burr as his proposal to join Washington’s staff is summarily rebuffed. In reality, Burr did serve for a short time on Washington’s staff but was disappointed when it became clear he would not serve as a close advisor to the General, and he subsequently quit.  After the disappointing and lopsided military defeats in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan, the Continental Army was forced to retreat to Harlem Heights and Hamilton’s company came under the direct command of Washington. The song seems to suggest that Hamilton was quickly elevated to Washington’s side at this point, but the historical record suggests it happened much later. After observing Hamilton for several months through multiple battles in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Washington finally offered Hamilton a position as an aide-de-camp in January 1777.

(Alexander Hamilton)

  1. “Go home Alexander”

In the musical, George Washington and Hamilton have an explosive argument which sprouted from controversy over the duel between Charles Lee and John Laurens. The song “Meet Me Inside” ends with Washington ordering Hamilton to go home. In the following song “That Would Be Enough”, Eliza explains to Hamilton that she had written to Washington asking him to send Hamilton home to be with her during her pregnancy. In reality, Hamilton and Washington did have a major falling out which led to Hamilton’s return to New York, but their quarrel had nothing to do with the Charles Lee incident and it was Hamilton who voluntarily resigned his position and not Washington who sent him away.

(George Washington)

  1. “John should have shot him in the mouth”

In the course of the argument during “Meet Me Inside”, Washington scolds Hamilton “You solve nothing, you aggravate our allies to the South”. To this Hamilton responds, “You’re absolutely right, John should have shot him in the mouth-that would have shut him up”. While people watching the musical may see this as a clever and biting retort, it actually references what happened when another of Washington’s harshest critics, Thomas Conway (whose name is referenced later in the same song) was forced into a duel by General John Cadwalader. After firing a ball which went through Conway’s mouth and exited the back of his head, Cadwalader reportedly exclaimed, “I have stopped the damned rascal’s lying tongue at any rate”. Amazingly, Conway survived his injuries and went on to serve in the French military.

(Thomas Conway)

  1. “Get your right hand man back”

The song “Guns and Ships” features Marquis de Lafayette spitting the fastest and some of the most creative rhymes in the entire musical, “I’m takin’ this horse by the reins, makin’ redcoats redder with bloodstains”. The real Lafayette was just as brave and influential as the character in the musical. While the song suggests that Lafayette convinced Washington to write to Hamilton and invite him back into the fight, the biography tells a different version. Hamilton’s thirst for military combat was unquenchable and he had pestered Washington for years to give him command of a battalion. Washington knew Hamilton was a talented fighter and leader, but saw him as too valuable an advisor to let him go. This created friction between the two men and was certainly a contributing factor to Hamilton’s resignation as Washington’s aide-de-camp. Hamilton relentlessly hounded Washington in letters to grant him command even after he left for New York. Washington eventually acceded in July 1781 giving Hamilton command of a light-infantry battalion.

(Marquis de Lafayette)

  1. “The Battle of Yorktown”

In “Guns and Ships”, Lafayette tells Washington “We can end this war in Yorktown”. The biography confirms that Lafayette did play a role in convincing Washington to stage a pivotal attack in Yorktown, informing him that British General Cornwallis had dug in and was surrounded on three sides by water; but this was not the only factor in the decision. Washington initially planned a siege of New York City to be the decisive blow against the British forces, but the French fleet led by Admiral de Grasse had reservations about this due to the shallow waters in New York harbor and instead sailed for Chesapeake Bay. Getting Washington’s troops to Yorktown without alerting British forces to the movement of such a large army was not easy, but he employed some creative measures that got the job done.

(Colonel Alexander Hamilton at the battle of Yorktown)

  1. “Get the bullets out your guns”

In an attempt to complete a new trench near British fortifications at Yorktown, Washington knew that continental forces would have to overrun two British redoubts and decided these would be taken simultaneously by bayonet attacks. The men needed to get inside quickly to take control of the redoubt. In the song “Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)”, Hamilton tells his men to remove the bullets from their weapons as they quietly approach British fortifications, “We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away”. While stealth was certainly one aim of this approach, the biography suggests it was also about “soldierly pride”. According to the biography, the men let out “war whoops” and “loud cheering” as they rushed forward, this would seem to contradict the idea that removing bullets from their weapons was all about a stealthy advance.

(British Redoubt #9, Yorktown)

  1. “The man is non-stop”

The song “Non-Stop” gives us a sense for how prolific a writer Hamilton was. Perhaps his most celebrated work is the Federalist Papers. This series of 85 essays is often credited with making the case for the ratification of the US Constitution. In the song, Hamilton approaches Aaron Burr to collaborate on the Federalist Papers, but Burr refuses. In truth Burr was never invited to work on the series. Hamilton did respect Burr’s capability as a lawyer but was often distrustful of him for an apparent lack of values or forthrightness. The song accurately credits James Madison and John Jay as Hamilton’s co-authors, with Hamilton writing the lion’s share of the essays. Hamilton actually recruited two others to help write, William Duer and Gouverneur Morris. Duer completed two essays, though they were never included in the printed collections while Morris declined participation as he was too preoccupied with business concerns.

(Hamilton, Madison and Jay)

Those familiar with the musical might note that this list of 10 items encompasses only the first half of the musical. If you enjoyed this article, let me know in comments below or via Twitter @Tech_Derek – I might be convinced to write the next 10 as well. 🙂

TrustED, a new education “news hub,” listed me as one of its 20 “thought leaders” (a term I have never liked) for 2017. I am grateful for the recognition. However, I mistakenly confused TrustED with Education Trust, a Gates-funded organization known for its devout support for high-stakes testing and its belief that standards and tests are the best path to racial equality. We have been on that past for nearly two decades without any reduction in inequality.

I am not familiar witfh TrustED. I got a comment on my new Facebook page from Todd Kominiak, the managing editor, pointing out that TrustED is not EdTrust. So there. My apologies. I am reposting to clear up the mixup. I have learned over many years that the best way to deal with a mistake is to own it and correct it.

The post called me the “most overtly political” person on the list.

That is true.

Let me explain.

If you don’t like bad policies, you have to become political.

If you want change, you have to become political.

If you don’t like decisions made by the U.S. Department of Education or your state legislature, you have to be political.

If you don’t like the idea of turning Title 1 and special education funding into a honey pot for vouchers, charters, and home schooling, you must be political.

If your governor and legislature want to privatize education and destroy the teaching profession, you must be political.

If you want to protect children, teachers, and public schools from profiteering predators, you must be political.

I confess.

I am overtly political.

It is a strange role for a scholar and a historian. I am supposed to observe.

But when you observe malfeasance, fraud, lies, propaganda, corruption, and error, you can’t stand by as a detached observer. You just can’t.

You have to get political, get up, act, raise your voice, fight for what you believe in.

That’s why I am political.

Many of these conditions can be fatal.

So taking drugs to manage your diabetes would seem like a smart thing to do.

Not so… for several very good reasons.

Survival rates using diabetes medications

According to a research paper Benefits of Diabetes Drugs Dubious, published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in December 2014, no doctor-prescribed diabetes drug has been shown to save the life of a diabetic. There is no proof that they prevent heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, nerve damage, blindness or other diabetes complications such as the need for amputations.

High blood glucose levels are not the same as diabetes. They are signs of diabetes but they are not the disease itself. The problem is: diabetes drugs target blood sugar levels… they do not treat diabetes. But very few people die of high levels of glucose in their blood.

However they do die of the damage caused by diabetes: heart disease, strokes, kidney disease and raging infections… and diabetes drugs do nothing for them.

A peer-reviewed meta-study Comparison of Clinical Outcomes and Adverse Events Associated with Glucose-lowering Drugs in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016, showed that there was no increase in survival rates among type 2 diabetics who took diabetes medications.

The drugs failed to prevent heart attacks and strokes. They also failed to reduce all-cause mortality for these patients.

The study examined nine classes of diabetes drugs, including insulin, comparing the drugs to a placebo. The researchers reviewed more than 300 randomized clinical trials covering nearly 120,000 patients before reaching their conclusions.

Dangers of diabetes drugs

Drugs for diabetes are dangerous.

Their side effects include cardiovascular reactions, flu-like symptoms and dizziness. They have been linked to muscle and stomach pain, diarrhoea and anaemia. In addition, if diabetics are not careful, these drugs can cause dangerously low blood glucose levels.

The sad thing is that many patients take two or even three of these drugs at the same time, all prescribed by their local doctor or diabetes clinic.

But, instead of reducing deaths, this multi-drug regime increases death rates.

A research paper Effects of Intensive Glucose Lowering in Type 2 Diabetes, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2008, concluded that intense efforts to lower blood glucose with drugs resulted in a 22% higher rate of death from all causes. The same study showed that deaths from heart disease went up by 35%.

So what to do?

Reversing diabetes

The fact is that there is no need, unless your diabetes is far advanced, to use these drugs at all. You can reverse your diabetes using diet alone, perhaps with a little extra exercise thrown in.

There is no cure for diabetes, ie once you have it you will always have it. So when I say you can reverse your diabetes, I mean you can beat the nasty consequences the disease brings such as the cardiovascular problems, strokes, kidney disease and so on.

The beating-diabetes diet is simple. It requires but a little discipline.

You can reverse type 2 diabetes by eating foods that are (1) low in sugar, (2) low in fat, (3) low in salt, (4) high in fibre and that (5) are digested slowly. The easiest way to do this is by concentrating on natural, unprocessed foods that are mostly plants. You also need to avoid all dairy products and eggs, and to drink plenty of water.

The fundamental cause of type 2 diabetes is fat blocking the receptors in your muscle cells, leaving glucose (produced by the digestive process) and insulin (produced by the pancreas) swirling around in your bloodstream. This condition is called insulin resistance.

The diet works because it minimizes your intake of fat so that, after a month or so, the fat blocking the receptors in your muscle cells will have disappeared.

Unblocking the receptors ensures that the insulin can do its job of opening those receptors to get the glucose out of your bloodstream and into cells, thus ‘reversing' your diabetes.

As well as following the beating-diabetes diet, you should also take up some mild exercise, such as walking, gardening, swimming, dancing and so on. This will help stimulate your muscle cells to use the energy (glucose) floating around in your blood stream.

In addition, you can give the beating-diabetes diet a boost in several ways:

Vitamin D

Low levels of vitamin D3 have been linked to both pre-diabetes and full-blown diabetes. Sadly, most people have a vitamin D deficiency.

A research paper entitled Lipoprotein lipase links vitamin D, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional epidemiological study, undertaken by Chinese researchers and published in January 2013 in Cardiovascular Diabetology, showed that even a minor deficiency in vitamin D3 can increase the risk of diabetes by more than 90%.

So how do you up your intake of vitamin D3?

You can get sufficient vitamin D3 by standing around for just 10 minutes or so a day in the midday sun… provided you only wear bathing togs (even in winter) and the sun is actually shining (a rarity where I live).

You could also get plenty of vitamin D by eating oily fish (tuna, sardines, mackerel and salmon), free-range eggs, grass-fed beef, liver and dairy products. But these foods contain copious amounts of fats which you need to avoid if you are to reverse your diabetes.

For diabetics, therefore, the best way to get sufficient vitamin D3 is to take a supplement. The recommended dosage is 8,000IUs (international units) a day.

The leaves, stems and flesh (but not the skins) of the tropical guava fruit block the digestion of carbohydrates which reduces spikes in blood glucose. Consuming pealed guava also makes the development of insulin resistance less likely and helps improve the blood sugar levels of diabetics.

If fresh guava is available in your locality you should eat it daily. If not, you can get guava tea made from dried leaves at your local health food store or online. A cup a day (or more) is highly recommended.

Vanadium is a trace mineral that mimics the action of insulin.

Vanadium reduces spikes in blood glucose and insulin levels by helping to move blood glucose into muscle cells and by inhibiting the absorption of glucose from the gut.

In a study described in Rare Earths: Forbidden Cures, a book published in 1994, diabetics took daily supplements of vanadium… their average blood glucose levels dropped by 10% in only three weeks.

You can use vanadium by taking it as a supplement… 500mcg three times a day… but:

Caution: do not exceed 10mg a day.

Berberine is a plant nutrient found in the roots, rhizomes, stems and bark of medicinal herbs such as barberry, tree turmeric, Oregon grape, goldenseal, yellowroot, Chinese goldthread, prickly poppy, and Californian poppy.

In the 1980s, Chinese doctors discovered that berberine can normalize blood glucose levels. It does so by decreasing insulin resistance, by decreasing the production of sugar in the liver, and by increasing the ability to breakdown glucose inside cells.

To lower the levels of sugar in your blood, you should take a supplement… one 500mg capsule with meals two or three times a day.

Caveat: the writer of this article is not a medical doctor and his strong advice is that you consult your doctor or a staff member of the diabetes clinic you attend before you stop taking your prescribed diabetes medications.

Paul D Kennedy is a type 2 diabetic. He used his skills as an international consultant and researcher to find a way to control his diabetes using diet alone and, about seven years ago, he stopped taking medications to control his blood glucose levels. You can find out more here on how he beat his diabetes into submission.

Best Research Paper Writing Service

If you’re going to write a dissertation, you should know about how the best research paper writing support works. This guide will highlight a few of the things that you need to take into account before settling on a composing service to be sure that you have the job done the perfect way.

The very first thing which you ought to look for in a research paper writing service is that a group of writers that’s well trained in researching on distinct topics. A good deal of businesses provide to write the dissertation for students with no expertise in this discipline. This isn’t a fantastic idea since you would not want to get an inexperienced author writing your thesis?

One other important factor you need to think about in selecting the best research paper writing service is they have enough time and energy to investigate every topic that you have researched. If the writer is just confined to a single topic, he or she’ll be likely be composing a paper that is weak. But if the writer gets the time and will go into the many aspects of your dissertation, then you know that the study will be thorough and you would find an article that is as great as one written by a professor.

It’s also wise to be aware of the simple fact that the authors that the service will probably be hiring is currently established within their area. If they already have a clientele of various research papers, then they’d already be in a position to do research well and can be trusted to deliver a fantastic quality of job. This is only one of the reasons why you want to make sure the authors are already experienced in writing newspapers so that they will be certain enough to write your dissertation.

You should also search for services that provide to produce a draft of your document as opposed to the full dissertation. This means they are willing to provide you with the time to edit your own job so that you can change a couple of things that are not to your liking. This is important since your dissertation is supposed to be something that reflects your development as a individual and it’s impossible to give a high quality dissertation with no editing.

It’s likewise important that the service which you select can be found on weekends. This is because you might not have a great deal of time to work on your job through the week. Additionally, write my essay online you might want to request comments from the authors that you select as you would not need to have some of them write a dissertation that you would be unhappy with.

Eventually, they should request samples of the research paper writing services that you are thinking of. This is particularly important if the writers that the service will be hiring can be contacted online. In addition, you want to request sample posts that they can give you so you can observe the caliber of the content they will be giving you.

Pick the best research paper writing service can be very daunting but it’s definitely not hopeless. By doing a bit of research, you can discover the best service which is going to be able to provide you a great dissertation.

Dietkirchen brief info

The following points are only intended to provide a Dietkirchen brief info on the most important dates, events or locations of Dietkirchen. More detailed information can be found on the other pages of the homepage.

Prehistoric times

From the time of the Germanic tribes, knowledge of a pagan place of worship on the limestone rock near Dietkirchen has been preserved to this day. This place was called grove. It was the first in the Lahngau. It was the place where they used to hold court. The “Reckenforst”, the place of legal assembly, was in the immediate vicinity. It is already mentioned in a document from 1217. This meeting place was also called Thing.

First documentary mention

Dietkirchen is first mentioned in a document in the year 841. The village is however older. A lower aristocratic family: “Die Dietkirchener Herren” lived here.

The Christianisation of the Lahn area and the former Lubentius monastery play a special role in the history of the village. In the discussion about the Christianisation of Dietkirchen, it is repeatedly claimed that Lubentius did missionary work there. This view is wrong. The beginnings of Christianity at the Lahn reach from about the 6th to the end of the 7th century. The foundation of the village probably also lies in this period.

Lubentius monastery

The foundation of the Lubentius monastery can be dated to the year 841. In the Romanesque collegiate church lie the remains of St. Lubentius, around whom many legends have been formed. The mortal remains were probably transferred from Kobern on the Moselle to Dietkirchen before 841. During the secularization the monastery was in full swing. At that time the parish counted about 425 souls.

Lahn ferry

The Lahn ferry in Dietkirchen is already mentioned between 1048 and 1098. The operation of this ferry was a feudal right. In 1959 the ferry operation was stopped. As a replacement, a 145-metre long and 3.30-metre wide wooden bicycle and pedestrian bridge was built below the rock in 1989.

Dietkirchen market

The Dietkirchen market also belongs to the local history. The first beginnings can no longer be dated. Probably they lie in the high middle ages. Visitors from near and far used to come to visit the market. Since a few years the historical market has been revived.

The village was not spared from warlike events in the past centuries. During the First World War a prisoner of war camp was established near Dietkirchen. Today there is a war grave site near the former camp.

Dietkirchen as a district of Limburg

In 1971 the municipality gave up its independence and was the first of the surrounding villages to be incorporated into the city of Limburg. The district has 1724 inhabitants

Kuala Lumpur’s traffic is infamous. It’s very regular for somebody to get trapped in the growl of the transportation of the city. Be that as it may, Kuala Lumpur has been endeavoring hard to get voyagers on ease through magnificent and present-day transport frameworks. Presently in Kuala Lumpur, it has reached such an enormous amount of simpler to explore your way around. From the klia kuala lumpur bus terminal to underground (MRT) rail frameworks and superb taxi system to shrewdly running …

Learning more about yourself could help you better understand others

The intervention used in this research was based on the Internal Family Systems model that sees an individual’s personality as made up of different sub-personalities

By guest blogger Marianne Cezza

As social creatures, accurately recognising and understanding the mental states of others (their intentions, knowledge, beliefs, etc.) is crucial to our social bonds and interactions. In fact, in today’s multi-cultural world and strongly divided political climate, this skill – known as Theory of Mind – is perhaps more important than ever. A recent study published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement proposes that an effective way to develop our Theory of Mind lies in learning to better understand ourselves.

Anne Böckler and colleagues, based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, recruited 141 participants to take part in a three-month long contemplative training course that teaches people to take the perspective of the different aspects of their own personalities.

Before they started, the participants completed a test of their Theory of Mind: they watched short video clips of people describing autobiographical events, then answered a questionnaire about the storyteller’s intentions, thoughts and goals.

Next, the participants were taught to identify and label six ‘inner parts’ or sub-personalities within themselves, for example ‘the caring part’, ‘the inner happy child’, ‘the vulnerable part’. They could modify or add to this list at any time during the training course.

The course itself consisted of two key components that the participants practised daily for thirty minutes, and at a two-hour guided weekly training sessions. The first component was an ‘observing-thoughts’ meditation, in which participants observed their thoughts objectively,  de-identified from them (i.e. observed them in a detached way), then classified the thoughts into categories of me/other, past/future or positive/negative. The second component was a perspective-taking exercise which participants conducted in pairs, alternating between the role of speaker and listener. The speaker recounted an event from their day from the perspective of one of their randomly selected inner parts. Aware of the speaker’s various inner parts, the listener had to guess which one was talking.

These perspective-taking exercises and the concept of ‘inner parts’ are based on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model; an approach used in psychotherapy. The model sees an individual’s personality as made up of different sub-personalities, each with its own set of behaviours, cognitions and affects.  The current study is part of a larger research project which draws from the model’s principles, successfully implemented in a therapeutic setting (such as with rheumatoid arthritis patients), and applies them to a non-clinical, healthy, adult population with the aim of improving mental well-being and social intelligence.

On average, the participants in the current study identified 11 inner parts to their personalities, of which 44 per cent were labelled by independent judges as negative traits and 56 per cent were positive traits. The researchers organised the participants’ different personality parts into related trait types according to the IFS model, the most common being: Protectors (12 per cent), Managers and Pleasure Parts (both 11 per cent), Inner Critics (9 per cent), and Vulnerable Parts (8 per cent).

After completing the training course the participants re-took the same Theory of Mind test that they’d taken at the start of the study. Improvement in Theory of Mind was correlated with the number of different inner personality parts identified – the more facets the participants were able to recognise within themselves, the better they seemed to become at understanding others. This is reflected in neuroimaging research, where the processes of perspective-taking of the self and others utilise shared neural mechanisms.

Interestingly, the correlation between number of parts of self identified and improvement in Theory of Mind was even stronger in those who identified more negative parts. The researchers propose that this supports the theory that people are naturally resistant to looking for negative aspects of their personality, therefore those who do are thought to be working more profoundly to better understand themselves. In addition to the result of a better understanding of the mental states of others, this deeper work also improves psychological wellbeing, as it is widely acknowledged in clinical psychology that accepting negative emotions is beneficial to mental health.

The purpose of identifying the different aspects of our personalities is to understand that through them one can view a single situation through a handful of different outlooks; we learn to see the self as multifaceted and can detach and de-identify from one sole personal perspective. Consequently, we’ll also be more open to the different points of view of others, and less likely to assume that a person’s perspective remains consistent across different life situations. It’s likely this increased interpersonal understanding will in turn encourage greater respect and compassion for others, facilitate communication and reduce the ostracism and stigmatisation of groups with alternative outlooks.

So it seems a little soul searching is required to better understand the people around us. Why not have a go at reflecting on your own psyche, and see what you can recognise in others?

I think it is also important to say that equally important in the perspective dyad was the need of the listener to attend to the speaker and to listen mindfully without interrupting or showing overt emotion during the speech. This I think is as crucial in improving Theory Of Mind as it takes us out of our usual thinking about replying whilst we are listening. this gives us the chance to really engage with the others story and to increase our understanding that although we may not agree with what we hear, we can show compassion and realise that on a basic level we are all seeking to reduce our suffering, but have differing views on how to get there. Could certainly be useful in the days of Brexit and DJT.

Originally uploaded at SSRN.

This article examines the 2011 Supreme Court decision in United States v. Freeman. At issue was whether defendants, such as Freeman, who enter a guilty plea pursuant to a binding plea agreement, are entitled to seek a modification of their sentence when the guideline range applicable to their offense has subsequently been lowered by the United States Sentencing Commission. By a five-to-four vote, the Court found that Freeman was eligible to seek a sentence reduction. However, as the article explains, the concurring and controlling opinion of Justice Sotomayor may ultimately prove to be problematic for criminal defendants generally and for the Commission for many years to come. In her opinion, Sotomayor suggests, in dicta, that the government can preempt future sentencing reduction claims through the insertion in plea agreements of waiver clauses. Should the Department of Justice adopt such a policy, the article warns of (and describes) the long-term adverse consequences that such a decision would have for criminal defendants and for ability of the Commission to achieve equity through guideline sentencing. As part of its critique of Freeman, the article also explains why the Freeman Court erred in its analytical approach. In so doing, it illuminates the real world of plea bargaining in the Freeman context, and explains why this plea negotiation truism provides a sounder, firmer, and clearer foundation to decide not only Freeman-type cases but any such case involving a sentence reduction claim. The article also uses Freeman to highlight and correct a common misunderstanding about the nature of plea agreement contracts. It explains why plea agreements have been erroneously construed as unilateral arrangements between the prosecution and the defendant, and why they should properly be interpreted as bilateral contracts involving three parties — the prosecution, the defendant and the court.

Aurelia plus pnpm

Does somebody know if Aurelia 1 supports pnpm?

I tried it and got lots of the following error messages:

ERROR in ./My-Code-Base/App/module.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'async' in 'C:\My-Code-Base\App'

I use pnpm on almost all my projects.
Add following to either your project’s local .npmrc, or global .npmrc. Then do a clean pnpm i.

Is there any plan to make Aurelia 2 work “honorably”?
I heard ESM is going to be supported btw.

That’s pnpm config to be npm compatible, not controlled by us.

I did ask them why not have the default config to hoist so that it’s compatible with npm out of the box. They don’t want to do that, and I don’t understand the decision from the engineering stand of view.

1 Like

Personally I see the point that pnpm does not enable “shamefully-hoist” by default. As far as I understand it’s their ambition that only direct referenced packages can be used in own code:

Therefore the developer is forced to cleanly define the dependencies in his code, rather than relying on dependencies of dependencies. Is it possible that you are missing some dependencies or are there other reasons to use “shamefully-hoist”?

It’s not necessarily the fault of your package but perhaps a sub package that may also create the need for shameless

My argument is npm is the standard, deviation from it only causes confusion and breakage.
@zeway666 is right, it’s not only your code, but other 3rd party libs who requires deep deps.

Without hoisting (flatten node_modules), it means you need to add at least aurelia-framework to your package.json explicitly. Right now, it’s a deep dep loaded by aurelia-bootstrapper which is in your package.json.

I’m surprised. If you do not believe in “no hoisting”, why use pnpm in the first place?

Come on, pnpm sells speed and storage saving. I am sold.

I am pretty sure this is the main reason why people chose pnpm.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I can live with this “hoisting” workaround.

In my Aurelia 2 test project, “pnpm” seems to be working perfectly without any issue, that is good to know for the future! :slight_smile:

Because I put it in your project’s local npmrc :slight_smile:

Oh, so thank you! :slight_smile:

I just run into the same issue. It would be really great to have full support of pnpm.

As noted above this is not strictly something related to Aurelia. The workaround explained with shameful config shouldn’t take long to fix it though

    Today we would like to welcome a new moderator to the team, TimTower. Over the past few months since we have taken over Tim has shown himself to have an excellent understanding of the rules. We know that Tim will be an great addition to the team and are glad to welcome him to the team today!

    Now we know there have been a lot of people that want to try and tackle the moderation role, and we have not been ignoring your requests. When we get these requests we simply sit back and watch the user and how they handle themselves on the forums. We may be adding more users in the near future to the team so if you see any other green people walking around the forums they are either aliens or moderators we are testing out! Aliens don't bite that much, right?

A spot in the Great Blog Role Call, plus Dungeon Tile reference pages

I once asked fellow-blogger Radiating Gnome about how he wrote to maximize page views. He told me his most-read posts included disagreeable material that inspired readers to tell him just how wrong he was (not that I’ve known him to be wrong). Since then, I’ve wondered if I failed to stake out enough controversy in this blog. As if to calm my concerns, Charles Akins at Dyvers cites DM David as a blog he tends to argue with. Thanks for the mention Charles! And thanks for compiling a trove of blogs for me to explore. (Someone needs to devise an easy way to catch up on a blog in chronological order.)

Enhanced Dungeon Tiles Gallery

I enhanced my gallery of Dungeon Tiles sets with reference pages devoted to each set, starting with the first.

DT2 Arcane Corridors sample dungeon 1

DT2 Arcane Corridors sample dungeon 1

This addition reveals my glaring lack of photos for any of the three master tiles sets.
I punched and scrambled my own copies of the master sets before I thought of my photo gallery. I’m reluctant to buy second copies, because I seem to have a lot of dungeon tiles already. So I’m calling for help. If you have an unpunched copy of a master set that you could photograph for this reference, please let me know in the comments.

aws_kms_keys resource

[edit on GitHub]

Use the aws_kms_keys InSpec audit resource to test properties of some or all AWS KMS Keys.

AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is a managed service that makes creating and controlling your encryption keys for your data easier. KMS uses Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) to protect the security of your keys.

AWS Key Management Service is integrated with several other AWS services to help you protect the data you store with these services.

An aws_kms_keys resource block uses an optional filter to select a group of KMS Keys and then tests that group.

# Verify the number of KMS keys in the AWS account
describe aws_kms_keys do
  its('entries.count') { should cmp 10 }

This resource does not expect any parameters.

See also the AWS documentation on KS Keys.

key_idsThe IDs of the returned keys.
key_arnsThe Amazon Resource Names of the returned keys.
entriesProvides access to the raw results of the query, which can be treated as an array of hashes.

The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.

Ensure a Key exists

describe aws_kms_keys do
  its('key_ids') { should include 'fd7e608b-f435-4186-b8b5-111111111111'}

Allow at most 100 KMS Keys on the account

describe aws_kms_keys do
  its('entries.count') { should be <= 100}

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our matchers page.

The control will pass if the describe returns at least one result.

Use should_not to test the entity should not exist.

describe aws_kms_keys do
  it { should exist }

describe aws_kms_keys.where( <property>: <value>) do
  it { should_not exist }

AWS Permissions

Your Principal will need the kms:ListKeys action with Effect set to Allow.

You can find detailed documentation at Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for AWS Key Management Service.

Since 2015, the team is providing the amazing (we hope) API Platform under the Apache v2 license. To make the platform even better, we (at GraviteeSource) are looking to provide you with additional modules to:

  • Improve your API platform with additional modules (Alert Engine, …)

  • Improve the platform capabilities with additional plugins (SAML support, social connectors, …)

  • Help you to manage your growing organization and your digital vision with APIs

We keep in mind that would not be there without a great community and a large audience thanks to the OSS philosophy.

That’s one of the reason why we choose to not apply any change to the existing platform (APIM vs AM) and those modules will still be released under the Apache v2 License.

If you’re talking with the team on Gitter, you may see and understand that we have more and more questions, more and more business contexts to manage, and more and more features to implement to provide you with the most amazing API Platform. All those things need time, for sure, but also money.

That’s why we choose to create the Enterprise API Platform. This version has many benefits and we are looking to provide really exciting features to help you and your company on our initial thinking: unleash the power of your APIs.

And the story begins…

Kalinago Territory: Trouble in political camps

Dr. Sanford (r) with UWP Deputy Political Leader, Joshua Francis, during his declaration in April this year. Hector John is to the left

As a general election, constitutionally due in May 2020 – just seven  (7) months away – draws nearer, the two major political parties, are still scrambling to solidify their slate of candidates, and campaign teams on both sides, are grappling with more tension and apprehension than they dare to show the Dominican public.

In the Kalinago Territory, for example, the withdrawal of Dr. Worrel Sanford has created a void in the United Workers Party (UWP) camp, which, for the time being, may have given an edge to the ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP) in the Salybia Constituency.

On Friday 12th April, at the St Cyr Resource Centre, barely four (4) months ago, an enthusiastic Dr. Sanford officially informed the constituents of Salybia of his decision to contest the seat. However, in a private meeting on Friday 16th August, he confirmed to his campaign team that he had withdrawn from the race.

A member of the campaign team told Dominica News Online (DNO) that after serious consideration, Dr. Sanford decided to step down as the UWP candidate for the Salybia Constituency, since, to continue would not be in the best interest of his family.

According to the campaign official, Dr. Sanford had previously voiced his concerns with reference to the impact of politics on his family; nevertheless, the confirmation deflated the spirit of the team. He further stated  that a large number of constituents were already gravitating towards Dr. Sanford because of his charisma as a leader. He said this was paralleled by the fact that supporters of DLP were showing displeasure with the new candidate for the Salybia Constituency by throwing their support behind Dr Sanford.

With this confirmation of Dr. Sanford’s withdrawal, the UWP Salybia Constituency Association’s search for a new candidate now goes into high gear.

DNO was informed that Anette Thomas-Sanford, former candidate for Kalinago Chief, Dr. Theodore Thomas, General Surgeon (Thomas-Sanford’s brother) as well as a young lawyer, have all expressed interest in replacing Dr. Sanford. However, a final decision has not yet been made.

Hill addressing a gov’t town hall meeting in 2015

Meanwhile, perhaps while not as big a hurdle as the loss of a candidate, the Dominica Labor Party (DLP) Salybia Constituency Association is also experiencing its share of turmoil.

Dominica News Online (DNO) has learned that the campaign manager for Cozier Frederick, the party’s candidate in that constituency, may have been forced to resign due to internal pressure.

Sources close to Frederick’s campaign have informed us that Louis Hill has resigned as campaign manager because many DLP supporters, including former Salybia MP, Kelly Graneau, are upset with Hill because he campaigned in the Kalinago Chief election for Anette Thomas-Sanford who is viewed as being affiliated with the UWP. Thomas-Sanford’s husband is former UWP deputy political leader and candidate for the Salybia Constituency, Claudius Sanford. Graneau is reported to have said that he was not satisfied with Hill’s performance as Frederick’s manager.

Hill also lost his bid to sit on the Kalinago Council and it is being speculated that he may be a political liability to Fredrick’s campaign.

Beginning this week, both parties will be analyzing these developments as they strategize and refocus their campaigns ahead of the general election.

    Well I personally do not understand why certain people let other people tell them what to do like they do not have any brains.
    As for Mr Graneau, go and build a house for yourself and stop depending on government to build house for you and the others. You are not satisfied with Mr. Hill’s performance but I am sure there was a good reason why he did what he did. Is people like alyou that have the Kalinago Territory so divided.

    Politics in Dominica, the Caribbean and throughout the world is a rough and unforgiving game. It puts family against family: neighbor against neighbor and everlasting friends become eternal enemies. Dr. Sanford knew this before he accepted the candidacy for upcoming election. However, life has to move on with or without him. Dominicans must vote out these Hard Head Harries from government for the country to breathe once more. They (DLP) have been nothing more but a blight on the people’s progress. The country is badly in need of a government that works for all the people regardless of political affiliation. The present administration has Dominica at the cellar position in everything positive among it’s neighbors. This is both shameful and depressing. Through the EXIT DOOR they MUST GO next election.

    The truth is the good doctor’s first lady does not LIKE the Kalinago Territory, and does not relish the idea of having to make there her main base. She doesn’t think very much of the Kalinago people, and has made no effort to integrate herself into a community in which they have a minimart, and which the Doc was set to represent politically.

    Dr. Sanford, Come Back!!..Do it for Country.
    Your Family will be proud in the end, that when you had an opportunity to do something about the corrupt state of affairs in your homeland that you represented with dignity.
    Time to return the Carib Territory to it’s glory days. DLP and Skerrit had 20 years to do it, today most of the people of Dominica are worse off. This is a great opportunity to turn things around with Worrel.

    Philosophically, Western form of Education/Mis-Education have taken hold of the first people, like the Africans before. Division being the cornerstone of all Euro Doctrines,is alive and well in Kalinago. Mr sanford really put a Nail in the Tires of the UWP political Wagon cramping their momentum, we can only term such a move as political sabotage.In Dominica it seems, a man/womans’ word means nothing, depending on whom you asked, then again,”Conformity Is Not Aways a good Thing”.

      August 19, 2019

      The problem was that Hill can critically think through things unlike some of these die hard party loyalist. Regardless of his support of the DLP party he did not follow blindly and if something was not working for the Kalinago people he would say so instead of saying My PM my God and savior. Some of our people are too ridiculous with their die hard loyalty to party instead to the Kalinago people, thus why during elections some off us does turn enemy with our neighbors and family. At the end of the day we are all kalinago brothers and sisters, we are indigenous and we need to stick together, some of us need to change our mentality to realize that instead of trying to keep each other down because we don’t share the same political views or standpoints. Can we please just have a clean election regardless of who for DLP or UWP…why you all want to bring down our own people and victimize them along the way just because they don’t agree with you. What would our ancestors say !!!!

    What on earth is the matter with you guys and girls up there in the Carib Territory, re a candidate to run for the UWP? We do not want this highly corrupted Labour Government under this immature, childish failed Skerrit to be Odd Minister again for Dominica. Skerrit is a failure, immature, and knows nothing of social-economic development. Skerrit only cares for himself and his weird subordinates, who are stuck on him as a corrupted leach that won`t go away. Dominica, get rid of Skerrit and failed incompetent, worthless Labour government and advisors.
    Welcome committed Hon Linton professional UWP Team.
    We desperately and anxiously need decent government and governance for our nature Isle, and we trust wholly and are proud of them. The highly professional UWP Team, led by distinguished Prominent Hon Lennox Linton. We need change. Skerrit and his failed Bobolistic Labour government must go and move on for the highly professional UWP Team to be here in support of our people in need. UWP

      @Viewsexpress, for the first time, I decided to read the whole of your comment above, but I had to stop near the end. Do you know why?

      It is that all I am reading is even worse than a fairytale story; it is the fantasy and negative acceptance of your mind.

      For example, you wrote: “Welcome committed Hon Linton professional UWP Team”.

      This is the base of your fantasy; you fail to see and accept Lennox as the person he really is. What you are talking against PM Skerrit belongs to Lennox and what you are talking about Lennox belongs to PM Skerrit.

      You and your colleagues are making it too hard on yourself and Lennox too, you all are making him think that the way he is, is the ways of the people; you all fail to acknowledge that the majority of the people continue to reject him

      PM Skerrit will go back to the Prime Minister’s Seat at Parliament, after election Day. So what are you all going to do?

    Something does not smell right. One would think the gentleman would have given this serious thought and discussed it with his family before he made a commitment to the party. This is particularly the case for someone who is a former politician. I don’t believe he suddenly found out it would “not be in the best interest of his family.”

Discover Kansas

Kansas is a slice of classic America, with its rugged cowboy culture and sweeping prairies. “Home, home on the range” are words from the state’s official song, and visitors can stay on authentic cattle ranches from rustic to farm chic. The state is rich in American Indian history, with museums devoted to the tribes that once lived here (four still do). In the Flint Hills, you can tour the vast tallgrass prairie to learn the significance of this delicate and beautiful ecosystem. See bison and attend a rodeo. Make time to eat: Kansans are proud of their smoked barbecue, Kansas City steaks and comfort foods like fried chicken and homemade pie.

Local Directory Listings

After speaking with several dozens of Howell business owners about website design and internet marketing over the years it has become clear that they are not adequately informed about the role and the significance of LOCAL DIRECTORY LISTINGS. We would like to shed some light on this topic here

Howell NJ Website Design Examples

What Are Local Directory Listings?

Every business in Howell (and everywhere else) is listed in hundreds of online business directories. Even if you, as the business owner, didn't submit your information, it is still "out there".

Mostly these listings include basic contact information about your business and your website.

These listings are used by mobile phone apps, mapping software, Google, and millions of internet users who are searching for various businesses in Howell NJ.

How is My Business Listed?

Unfortunately, most businesses are listed incorrectly in many of these online directories. Because these directories are generated automatically without any quality-control or oversight ... errors are common.

If your business or website information is incorrect, it can harm people's ability to find you online. What's worse is the incorrect information can actually be the contact information for your local competitors ... whether they are located in Howell directly, or in another town nearby.

If you would like to see how many errors your Howell business listing has, you can run an instant real-time report here.

DotCom offers Howell business owners a rare oppotunity for online success. Working with a local website design company ensures that we understand the particular issues related to Howell.

That is why we are such a great choice for your next website. Not only have we been creating websites for Howell business owners for over 20 years, but we are an incredibly accomplished website design agency.

Expert Website Design Tips

Every town is different, every business and industry is different. What works well in one situation may not be the best approach in another situation. That being said, we do see a consistent set of issues that seem to apply for a large number of Howell businesses.

After dozens of conversations and consultations with business owners relating to Howell NJ Website Design, I have collected the following list of general website tips and tricks.

Social Proof for Howell Websites

Social proof has 2 different levels. Level one refers to customer testimonials and online ratings and reviews. Howell residents (and residents of the surrounding area) want to know who you've done business with and what was their experience. Including testimonials, ratings, and online reviews on your website is an important way to show people that you are trustworthy.

The second level of social proof is authority and credibility. You should include the company logos of partners, or certifications, or other "official" credentials you may have on your website. The combination of authority and positive client experience is called LAYERING your Social Proof. It is a powerful element to our Howell NJ Website Design strategy.

Read a related article about this: How Social Proof Can Help Howell Businesses.

Great Content for Better Howell Websites

After reviewing over 100 Howell websites recently, our team of expert website designers have determined that Howell businesses are not paying nearly enough attention to their website content.

The web is different than it used to be. Website visitors expect more. It is your job to educate your customers, your leads, and your prospects. If they cannot find the information they are looking for on your website, they will go elsewhere to find it.

Our job is to help you use content in an effective way to improve your Howell NJ Website Design

Read a related article about this: How Great Content Can Help Howell Websites.

Social Media Marketing for Howell Websites

Across the board, Howell websites are not being properly supported with social media. In fact, things are so bad for Howell businesses that we honestly cannot find a single example of a company doing it properly

Social Media is a powerful source of new prospects and gives you the opportunity to connect in meaningful ways with your existing customer base. In a small town like Howell, a solid social campaign could establish your business in the minds of "strangers" very quickly and easily.

Read a related article about this: How Social Media Marketing Can Help Howell Businesses.

Digital Strategy For Better Howell Websites

In a recent survey, only 5% of Howell (and other nearby towns) business owners developed a true digital strategy before developing their websites. That is a remarkable statistic.

Any company spending $10,000 or more on their website and related digital marketing, should go through a rigorous digital strategy process. It will save you time and money in the long run!
