5 out of 5 stars (based on 434 reviews)
Overall the bed itself is absolutely beautiful.
I love my new bed. The color goes great with my wallpaper and carpet.
I love it. Very comfortable. Was very easy to set up also.
LOVE my new bed!! the quality is great and the color is even prettier than I pictured it to be.
Absolutely awesome! Just like the picture. Easy to follow instructions. I assembled it by myself – took over an hour to do alone from start to finish. I wanted to surprise my husband before he arrived home from work – so I took the day off. He loves it. I love it even more. Now I need more pillows and lighting!!!
Simply perfect! I love this bed, the look, the quality, the price, the fast delivery. I have never been able to assemble anything and I managed to put this bed together all by myself in a very short time.
I am Happy with my purchase.
The bed is very nice. I am Happy with my purchase.
Brought this for my daughter and she loves it! It was way easier to put together than I expected and I was able to assemble it by myself. And you can’t beat the price!!!! It looks really nice!
I absolutely love this headboard, ESPECIALLY for the convenient price.

she created her dream job.
I am founder & chief visionary. I feel like this title is appropriate and accurately describes my role. In the early stages as an entrepreneur, I found myself doing absolutely everything – from high-level strategy to minutia like setting up a pop-up or fulfilling an order. I didn’t want to have an executive title (such as CEO) because, in reality, a huge part of my job is not spent on executive level work. At this stage, I do absolutely anything and everything that’s needed to push Grayes forward – no task is too small or too big. I believe it’s so important when starting a business to understand all the different components and intricacies of the company and everything I do is working towards evolving my vision for Grayes.
I definitely created this job for myself. I was on track to become a matrimonial lawyer when I decided to shift gears and pursue my passion to create a women’s workwear line. Once I committed to pursuing Grayes, I started by learning everything I could about the industry – meeting with industry veterans, attending conferences and reading. Eventually, through networking, I found the team who ultimately helped me bring Grayes to life. favo
Did you go to school/get training for your dream job?
I have an undergrad degreelaw degree from Fordham University. But I don’t have any technical fashion design education or training. That part of the business I have learned along the way working very closely with our amazing design team, who I am so thankful for. Nevertheless, I do believe my education has been extremely valuable in bringing Grayes to life. There is so much more to Grayes (or any clothing line for that matter) than just the design and manufacturing element. Understanding all components of a business, from the finances to contracts and marketing, is so crucial to the success of Grayes. Since I come at the business with a very different, non-traditional perspective, I have found to be extremely valuable. </s> Iowa City, IA

 Tone Mapping in der Bildbearbeitung </s> Die Entwicklung von Schachcomputern in der DDR verlief in mehreren Stufen vom Prototyp bis zur Serienreife.
Im VEB Mikroelektronik „Karl Marx“ des Kombinats Mikroelektronik Erfurt („VEB Funkwerk Erfurt“) wurde untersucht, wie der entstandene Rückstand zum westlichen Niveau der Konsumgüter verringert werden kann.
elektronische Bauelemente
Die Entwicklung und Produktion von Schachcomputern erfolgte in den Betriebsteilen des Messgerätewerkes. Spezialisten des Bauelementewerkes wurden zunächst beauftragt, mit den im Werk produzierten mikroelektronischen Bauelementen vergleichbare Produkte zu applizieren – darunter auch Schachcomputer. Die Schachcomputer waren seinerzeit auf dem westlichen Markt bereits als Massenproduktion vorhanden, in den sozialistischen Ländern jedoch nur vereinzelt.
Der Schachcomputer SC1, von dem etwa ein Dutzend gebaut wurden, war eine Kleinstserie zur Demonstration der Leistungsfähigkeit mikroelektronischer Bauelemente aus der Produktion der DDR.
Verwendung von Bauelementen aus der eigenen Produktion
Um kostengünstig produzieren zu können, wurde entschieden, ein Kunststoffgehäuse zu konstruieren. Das erforderliche Werkzeug sollte schnell und billig entstehen, was zu der Entscheidung führte, ein Gehäuse aus Polyurethan einzusetzen. Dieses konnte einfach gefertigt werden. Nachteilig war die dicke Materialstärke, wodurch auch keine hohen gestalterischen Ansprüche erfüllt werden konnten. Dafür war die Lösung schnell umgesetzt und es entstand der SC2.
Da man sich zum damaligen Zeitpunkt nicht in der Lage sah, ein eigenes Programm zu erstellen, kam im SC2 das amerikanische Fidelity Chess Challenger 10 Programm von Ron Nelson zum Einsatz, das man einfach aus dem Westen übernahm. Das damals bereits 4 Jahre alte Programm erreichte eine Spielstärke von ELO 1207 mit einer kleinen Eröffnungsbibliothek von 76 Halbzügen.
Vom SC2 wurden in den Jahren 1981 bis 1983 einige hundert Exemplare, vorwiegend im Inland, verkauft. Die Vorstellung des SC2 auf Messen und die Marktforschung ergaben keine guten Exportmöglichkeiten in das westliche Ausland, was jedoch eine wichtige Aufgabe für die Produzenten von Konsumgütern in der DDR war. Für die Inlandnachfrage war der SC2 wiederum zu teuer.
Wegen der Sättigung der westlichen Märkte mit Billigprodukten an Schachcomputern wurde als Zielgruppe speziell der gehobene Bedarf definiert. Dies erforderte insbesondere ein niveauvolles Gehäuse und anspruchsvollere Schachprogramme.
Insgesamt haben bis zu 28 Ingenieure und Facharbeiter des VEB Mikroelektronik "Karl Marx" Erfurt Konsumgüter, primär Schachcomputer, entwickelt. Damit wurden Ressourcen für eine selbständige Produktlinie gebildet, denen auch eine eigene Fertigungsstätte unweit von Erfurt in Plaue zugeordnet wurde. Die meisten Produkte auf dem westlichen Markt waren Massenfertigung und in Plastgehäusen untergebracht. Beim gehobenen Bedarf ging man bei der Zielgruppe auch von aktiven Schachspielern als potentielle Kunden aus, die sicher ein Schachbrett aus Holz bevorzugen würden. Die Normgröße der Schachbretter wurde also unter diesem Aspekt als wichtig angesehen und realisiert: Der Chess Master war genauso groß wie ein Standardbrett bei Schachturnieren, im Gegensatz zu

func decode<T>(_ type: T.Type, from data: Data) throws -> T where T: Decodable
We see the generic function and also the metatype T.Type. I’m not focusing your attention on those two definitions by accident. We should understand these structures of language.
You could read more about metatypes:
What’s .self, .Type and .Protocol?
Consider the example with metatype.
init
struct Test<T: Codable>: TestProtocol {
init(from value: Codable) {
self.value = value as! T
self.info = "Default init(value:)"
self.info = "Custom init(value:)"
let type: TestProtocol.Type = Test<String>.self
print(type.init(from: "Hello, World!").info)
We’ll get the "Default init(value:)". The reason is the second init(from value: Codable) not requirements of such protocol because for the swift compiler it’s just another method. However, it’s overloading of the method for us.
These methods calls static (it isn’t about static func). Generally, the Static dispatch works here — the swift compiler discribes how a programm will select which implementation of a method on the compile time.
You will see that if you build a Swift Intermediate Language (SIL) file by the example.
> swiftc -emit-sil example.swift > example.swift.sil
No polymorphism for static methods.
Where a same problem could be in JSONDecoder:decode? If we see how it works, we will find the reason. The next code from the official repository.
let decoder = __JSONDecoder
// MARK: - Concrete Value Representations
private extension __JSONDecoder {
func unbox<T : Decodable>(_ value: Any, as type: T.Type) throws -> T? {
return try unbox_(value, as: type) as? T
func unbox_(_ value: Any, as type: Decodable.Type) throws -> Any? {
return try type.init
You would think a problem will be when the unbox_ called, but the situation a little bit complicated.
func generate<T: TestProtocol, Value: Codable>(value: Value, as type: T.Type) -> T {
type.init
print(generate(value: "Hello, World!", as: Test<String>.self).info)
We’ll get the "Default init(value:)" again. What will we see in the SIL code for the generate function?
// generate<A, B>
sil hidden @$s5test28generate5value2asxq__xmtAA12TestProtocolRzSeR_SER_r0_lF : $@convention(thin) <T, Value where T : TestProtocol, Value : Decodable, Value : Encodable> (@in_guaranteed Value, @thick T.Type) -> @out T {

%8 = witness_method $T, #TestProtocol.init!allocator.1 : <Self where Self : TestProtocol> (Self.Type) -> (Decodable & Encodable) -> Self : $@convention(witness_method: TestProtocol) <τ_0_0 where τ_0_0 : TestProtocol> (@in Decodable & Encodable, @thick τ_0_0.Type) -> @out τ_0_0 // user: %9
%9 = apply %8<T>(%0, %5, %2) : $@convention(witness_method: TestProtocol) <τ_0_0 where τ_0_0 : TestProtocol> (@in Decodable & Encodable, @thick τ_0_0.Type) -> @out τ_0_0

%11 = tuple ()                                  // user: %12
return %11 : $()                                // id: %12
} // end sil function '$s5test28generate5value2asxq__xmtAA12TestProtocolRzSeR_SER_r0_lF'
As we see the generate function works with TestProtocol.init. Why? You could read the small article about the Abstract Difference of SIL Types. I just show you three base things about generics’ working as I’ve understood this:
Don’t generate a different copy of generic function for every unconstrained type.
Don’t give every type in the language a common representation.
Don’t dynamically construct a call to generator depending on an unconstrained type.

There are lots of legitimate questions that Democrats could raise to challenge John McCain about which candidate is more committed to helping impoverished Americans. Should tax relief be weighted more to the wealthy or the poor? funding health care? Should there be increased spending in social programs like early childhood education? Should the federal minimum wage be increased?
Three days later, a writer for CBS News who was not traveling with the campaign, used this quote in a blog post. This was interpreted by Clinton and ACORN as a smoking gun–proof that McCain would not fund efforts to help the people of New Orleans recover.
On Thursday, McCain went to the Lower Ninth Ward, and among other things met with volunteers for ACORN to praise their rebuilding efforts. Afterwards, he held a press conference at which he promised a number of federal actions to allow for rebuilding. First, he endorsed the federal plan to rebuild the levees by 2011 to protect against a so-called 100-year hurricane. He asked for the quick completion of other studies to protect against a Category 5 hurricane. “To protect the lives of American citizens we can always find money,” he said. He called for more federal efforts bring affordable housing to the area, as well as money for hospitals, schools and public safety. “We may have to look at where some of our health care dollars are going to help restore health care services to this community and this state,” he said.


Is inbound marketing viable for your financial practice? Probably - but it's not for everyone. Financial marketing experts agree that a well executed ind impact ways to build a financial brand, communicate your firm's story, and generate high-quality leads . Before we can take the leap, let's define what inbound is (and is not).
Inbound marketing is the activity that brings visitors and opportunities to you as opposed to chasing sales and trying to get your promotional message in front of people. Inbound is about creating a plan that draws in the right people instead of persuading, buying and chasing new sales opportunities.
This free ebook explains more about the theory of inbound marketing and how financial advisors can roll it out in practice.
Many of us have grown up being exposed and using traditional marketing tactics like direct mail, cold calling and paid advertisements. Inbound marketing has revolutionized the way consumers (read: your prospects and potential leads) get information and make purchasing decisions.
The content. There are some rules that can be put in place but the types of content used will be different for everybody. A few examples of various content types are: guidebooks, white papers, blog articles, video and podcasts.
The people. We don’t just want to create content for the sake of having content. We wantis part is key.
In short, inbound marketing is content marketing. It's all about finding common ground with your ideal client and relaying (through a variety of content types like stories, pictures, video and writing) how you can help. If you're considering taking on an inbound marketing approach in your firm, there are a few steps you'll need to know about first.

Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR), the national French-language TV broadcaster in Switzerland, has completed its transition to a tapeless, MXF/AAF-centered production and post-production workflow using Merging Technologies equipment, including Pyramix digital audio workstations, VCube nonlinear video playback units and Luxor media servers.
The broadcasters, MXF-based production workflow back in 2004. Two years later, in 2006, the new audio post-production department, to whom Merging supplied equipment consisting of 10 Pyramix DAWs, 10 VCube video player/recorders and two Luxor servers, was operating reliably and efficiently on an OMF-based workflow.
This year, RTS has taken and video in a MXF container at four times the real-time speed or more.
The next step for RTS is the adaptation of the workflow for HD  said Dominique Brulhart, Merging's head of software engi-2 HD long-GOP formats.”

—Sigma was back!—e Mavericks. "He was the last of the doctor's creations...
One of most important reploids, in terms of eliminating the Mavericks, was Dr. Doppler, a research reploid. He created a Maverick anti-virus that could very well have ended the Maverick cause. However, in the appropriately named Doppler Town, the Maverick virus broke through the anti-virus, causing another Maverick rebellion. The strange thing was, the Maverick virus broke through the anti-virus thanks to Dr. Doppler!
X was too late; the Sky Lagoon had crashed, laying waste to the city and many lives with it. A Repliforce official, the Colonel, appeared before X. "What are you doing here?" X asked, with a tone that implied that the Colonel was behind the destruction. "What are you talking about?
Somewhere else—hidden deep inside a building—that mysterious hooded figure looked on. "HAHAHA, the General has taken action," he boasted. "And now, my Maverick Hunters, what will you do?I'll be watching closely from here on out!HAHAHAHA!"
Upon locating the first 2 soldiers, their attitude was the same: They were angered at being labeled Mavericks and would fight X to defend their honor. Defeating them, X again became more powerful. Helping him, littered throughout the world, were more power-ups and Dr. Light capsules for X to find; Light spoke to X, sad to see that the reploids had begun fighting each other. "Why must they fight?
After defeating all the soldiers, X returned to Maverick H.Q. Double informed X that Repliforce had already begun assembling. Teleporting out, following their ships closely from behind, X located the Colonel. "I'll stop anyone who tries to interfere with our independence!
Double urged X not to venture any further, as it was too dangerous. Regardless, X had to do his job. After X teleported out, Double exited into the Maverick Hunter Hangar Bay, where he was heckled by the usual group of hunters. Double, his eyes glaring, transformed into a huge monstrosity, killing the hunters for their comments. "What's wrong, Double?" X could be heard over Double's transmitter. "Nothing to worry about," Double said as X broke contact. "And now, X will be my next target!Hee hee hee!"
Further into Repliforce's transporter ships, X was surprised to see Double already there."Double, what are you doing here?" X asked. Double responded: "HA!Ty!" "What are you saying?" X, stunned, inquired. Answered Double, now transforming back into monstrous form: "Think it over in heaven!Die, X!"
X had won, leaving Double to explain why he did what he did. "You're so naive, X," he explained. "
He would be stalled, however, as 8 capsules containing clones of Repliforce's soldiers stood in his way. Finally gaining access to the area containing the ultimate weapon, that mysterious hooded figure, more or less resembling the Grim Reaper, appeared right in front of X. The voice was undeniable; it was indeed...Sigma!
X scurried forward, trying to figure out what to do. Just then, the General reappeared, damaged and beaten. The General would use his body to stop the weapon. Said X: "But then you'll--" The General cut him off, explaining that it was too late, as there was no other choice. "X, please forgive our foolishness...
X hurried out of the area, getting into his ship and blasting off into space. Contacting Zero, he informed his friend that he was indeed safe. Taking Zero by surprise, X lay forth a question: "But, Zero...What if I become one of the mavericks?" "Don't be silly," Zero replied, urging X to go home and rest. "I'm serious," X said, asking the same question again. "If I do," continued X, "if I become a Maverick, you have to take care of me (finish me off)." "Don't be ridiculous," Zero said. "Now hurry back." "Promise me, Zero...
The battle had ended, but X didn't feel quite right. He wondered what was making all the robots turn into Mavericks. And whatever it was, would it happen to him?Was it his destiny?
Before long, X was repaired. He and the other Hunters began to repair the damage, hoping to one day return the Earth to normal. When a fellow Hunter mentioned the name "Zero," X's vague memory could recall Zero, his good friend. Even though they had to fight, Zero would always be with him. And it was the memory of Zero that would encourage X to fight on against the forces of evil—it would encourage him to fight for everlasting peace!


In our last post we didn’t mention what happened with Pink Floyd after Syd Barrett. Of course, you know they made a lot of records and gained massive aclaim with such gems asLittle by little, they developed a new sound, far away from The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1967), Floyd’s only LP with Barrett as the band leader. However, his influence was still important, at least in a subtle way. Many lyrics from different Floyd albums seem to link with Syd and his absence. The most famous is Wish You Were Here (1975). An unrecongnizable Barrett visited the band while they were recording it; that was the last time they saw him. From all the lyrics that seem to refer to Barrett, I chose the last part of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, a very nice tribute that Roger Waters dedicated to his friend, probably trying to find an answer to the reasons of his emotional and mental collapse: You reached for the secret too soon, You cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, And exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome With random precision, Rode on the steel breeze.Shine on, you crazy Syd
Have you seen our new releases? Hope you like them! This post is dedicated to the artist who inspired to one of them: Syd Barrett. If you like classic rock, you must know his story. He is a icon of the Swingin’ Sixties, a pioneer of psychedelic rock with a sad ending, but his figure remains as a true symbol of an era.Syd Barrett T-shirt @ WaterlooBarrett was the leader and founder of the first Pink Floyd. This was some years before David Gilmour joined the band and Roger Waters took control of the ship. Syd wrote most of their songs and was a very particular lyricist. While most of his contemporary composers chose to write about love, and some of them were starting to talk about revolution (influenced by Bob Dylan), Barrett made his own way in search of bizarre stories. His lyrics were surrealistic, humorous and unique. Take for example the second verse of Floyd’s second single, “See Emily Play”: “Soon after dark, Emily cries. Gazing through trees in sorrow, hardly a sound ‘til tomorrow”. He also loved to give to his songs with the most incredible names: all included in The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Floyd’s debut LP.Syd was also one of the most “English” rockers of all time, Like Ray Davies, his “Englishness” was very noticeable in his songwriting and in his singing. That’s why he was adored by many British musicians, like Paul Weller, who once said: “Syd was a unique songwriter. I loved his guitar style and the sound he got. He opened up possibilities.”In addition to this, Syd’s musical approach was unschakled and free-form. Indeed, English rock music’s entire notion of extemporising on blues modes and propelling them via lenghty improvisation into the outer reaches of the tonal stratosphere was begins with Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd. His odd guitar playing was the key for the sound of the band. He used his Danelectro with total freedom, interested in the textures and effects. He was painter and he brought an artist’s visual approach to his solos. “Syd set the tone for what people think of as pshychedelic guitar playing,” stated Joe Boyd, producer of the band’s first single, “Arnold Layne” (1967), the story of a very particular man who likes to go for a ramble every night and steal women’s clothes.LSD inspired many of his work and opened up his imagination, but also affected his fragile personality. He was forced to leave Floyd due to his mental state while they were recording their second album, A Saurceful Of Secrets (1968). Schizophrenic, his sensibilities would be at odds forever, but made two amazing solo records, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett (both released in 1970), tried to occasionally play again live, and finally dissappeared from public life to remain at his house in Cambridge, still devoted to his painting, until his death, in 2006.Although his musical discography is brief, his legacy is vital in rock and roll history and has inspired many artists. “Syd’s work as a sonic architect with Floyd is extremely inspiring to me and has something to do with where I’m going. The spirit of play there is where I think its at. His genius and his pure, childlike spirit make him shine as bright as anyone could,” said John Frusciante, one of his fans. Shine on you crazy diamond! Note: some lines from this post were extracted from the great article “Seer. Painter. Piper. Prisoner…” by Rob Chapman, published on Mojo magazine #154.

“I can’t remember much about the days that followed. I felt like I was in a cloud.”
'He is so strong and courageous'
“We still have another two-and-a-half years of treatment to endure but Lucas is so strong and courageous,” added Lindsay.
“He reassures his sister every time we visit the hospital that he will come back as happy as when he left. He truly is a little star in the making.”
A wedding with a difference
It has been a year of highs and lows for the close-knit family. In July Luke and Lindsay decided to tie the knot after almost 12 years together.
Instead of formal wedding clothes, each member of the wedding party wore t-shirts printed with their role on it.
Lucas proudly wore his ‘ring bearer’ t-shirt alongside his six-year-old sister, Lacie, a flower girl, and his baby brother Lyle.
Lucas Hoare (centremum Lindsay and her husband Luke, along with Lucas' brother Lyle and sister Lacie
Lindsay said: “We contemplated putting the wedding off until Lucas had finished treatment, but he wanted it to go ahead as it was something for him to look forward to as well.
“It was a fantastic day and Lucas had a great time. It was nice to focus on something positive and make lovely memories with our closest family and friends.”
He cried with happiness
For the courage he has shown throughout his treatment, the Newport schoolboy received a ‘Star Award’ from Cancer Research UK.
It is now proudly displayed on the family’s mantelpiece at their home in Bettws.
“I couldn’t believe it when it came through the post,” said Lucas, who adores Liverpool FC and wrestling.
“I burst into tears. It has made me feel really goodaround 20 children still die from the disease every year in Wales.

Has anyone been to one of the big domain related trade shows (T.R.A.F.F.I.C., Domain Roundtable)?DId you find it useful, and if so how?
Hm, i've never been to one. I didn't even know this kind of stuff would be this big!Is it like a real formal trade show live?That would be quite interesting to go to!
How would I find out about all the domain conferences this year so that I can plan ahead to try to attend?Are these trade shows and conferences really usefull in making the most out of your domain?
This is really good information!I didn't even know they existed!I thought since it was an internet thing, maybe they would do an internet conference. But then again, it makes sense to actually go into the real world to find out more about the virtual world. Every day I discover that thre is so much I still have to learn and discover!Thanks!


The Minnesota DNR updated their best management practices for Wind Energy!
[Excerpts] Full Document "The DNR supports the following language that the PUC has included in recently issued site permits: "The Permittee shall operate all facility turbines so that all turbines are locked, or feathered, up to the manufacturer's standard cut-in speof the following day, from April 1 to October 31 of each year of operation. All operating turbines at the facility must be equipped with operational software that is capable of allowing for adjustment of turbine cut-in speeds." Feathering below the manufacturers recommended cut-in speed is anticipated to reduce bat fatalities by 25-35%. This standard should also be applied to existing projects that are being repowered."


This ideal tone made on a brass instrument is difficult to define fospecific descriptors for the sound of a brass instrument. There are a few terms that are in common use, but they are very inaccurate in their nature. When choosing words to describe something we need to work with opposing pairs. You cannot understand cold without knowing its opposite (hot!
So commonly the words used to describe the sound of a brass instrument will be dark (good for classical), bright (good for big band), round (good for ego) and thin (the sign of a weak player?
If you were to examine the way that sound is produced on non-brass instruments there is always some form of percussive action which initiates the sound. Control of this percussive action is what has enabled composers to write with a range of articulations and make music expressive. On a piano there is a small hammer attached to each key that strikes the string associated with that key. Also of relevance you will note that there is also a damper that stops the vibrations as soon as the key is released. This mechanical action does not change if you are playing legato or staccato, allegro or lento. What changes is the way that the musician touches the keys. Similarly a classical guitarist must pluck a string for each note that they produce – there is a percussive action that creates the sound. Drummers literally hit things with sticks…

Remembering the good times in "Benny and Penny in How to Say Goodbye"
"I had Geoffrey's work in mind when I founded TOON Books. He stood out among children's book authors for his deep love and mastery of comics. Benny and Penny was part of the launch and quickly became a cornerstone for what we're aiming at: comics for beginning readers. He knew how to tell stories that resonated with young kids–with expressive images, great comic pacing and spare but well-chosen words. Looking at the images makes you experience the character's emotions and want to turn the page. He has contributed so much to our efforts to bring quality comics to kids. Just last week I talked to him about ideas for another Benny and Penny book. I'm still in shock, but I try to find consolation in knowing that Geoffrey's work will endure–the books are classics for generations to come.
I will forever remember Geoffrey for his love of humor. While all of his books deal with the difficulties young children experience in managing their emotions, Geoffrey could always bring a smile to a young reader's face—inspiring them to read on and read more.
He was a special author and friend—and will be greatly missed."
To learn more about Geoffrey's work you can read this lovely interview published in 2015 by A Child Grows In Brooklyn. Interviewer Rebecca Conroy grew up with Geoffrey's work and has followed him since.
And here's a lovely post from James Preller's Blog recounting a recent exchange with Geoffrey and an original book review.

Nineteen years after Congress opened telecommunications markets to cfacilities-based communications networks continues to be a critical issue. Policymakers, such as the FCC, recognize that facilitating deployment of modern technologies and competitive networks is critical to the national economy and public welfare, and they regularly adopt policies and regulations that promote deployment. Individual companies, from the largest incumbents to the newest entrants, engage in daily efforts to deploy new facilities, but despite favorable laws and policies, they still face myriad hurdles to deployment.
Fiber optic and cable networks need access to public rights of way, utility easements, railroad crossings, utility poles, and underground conduits. Wireless devices need towers, monopoles, rooftops, and utility poles. Indeed, modern communications networks often involvehat need to be deployed using various combinations of infrastructure. To successfully deploy and maintain such networks, companies need to understand and navigatedeployment. Companies also must understand their regulatory rights vis-à-vis the owners of the underlying infrastructure, such as utility pole and conduit owners. Ultimately, the cost and timeliness of deploying and maintaining communications networks is directly related to how well a company understands and utilizes the regulatory landscape.

Italy and Finland played a spectacular five-setter on the opening day at Arena Armeec competition hall in Sofia. The "Suomis" were close to creating the first major upset of the tournament, but eventually Italy prevailed and won by 3-2 (25-21, 16-25, 30-28, 16-25, 16-14).
Inspired by its numerous enthusiastic fans on the stands, Finland took the initiative after it was down 1-3 and was able to dominate through the end the second set. Olli Kunnari and Mikko Oivanen stepped up their efforts in offense, the number of errors their team made was significantly reduced, and with some great performance from the serving line the Finns were able to close the set at an impressive 25-16.
Italy came back into the third set with an important change in its lineup as Cristian Savani was now part of the starting seven as an opposite. But it was once again Michal Lasko taking the major load of the Italian offense. Mauro Berruto’s players accumulated an 18-10 lead and they seemed to be cruising towards a victory in this set, but their opponents had no intention of giving up. The Finns gradually fought back, not only to even the score, but also to gain the first set-point at 24-23. The battle on the court continued for every point and eventually Italy prevailed to win the set at 30-28.

They “don’t think that most news should be video or most video should be news.” That’s real hard-earned wisdom.
And, how about that hiring of “a producer of Spinal Tap [sic]”? Real cutting edge. For 1985. You know, back when people still bought vinyl records. Which is what the fellows in the movie were trying, unsuccessfully, to get people to do with their, ah, record called Smell the Glove.
When we share shit why do we share it on the places made out of sharing? It’s a boon to journalism.

Today at Rock NYC Live and Recorded, I once again dip into my long lost career as a music journalist in a summary of Ted Nugent’s racist summer catastrophe.
The old American paranoid style courses through Nugent on a daily basis. He believes groups of subhuman punk unpatriotic Americans who are inspired by old or dead radicals virtually nobody has heard of except fans of Glenn Beck are destroying the country and, as a part of that plot, trying to get him, too.
I recommend it. But, of course, I would.
Reaffirming every observation in that essay, Ted Nugent plows on in today’s column and in other news around the web. He can’t help himself and it would be a pitiable sight if … well, if he wasn’t such an obviously 24/7 hatemonger.
Thumbs down to the undue attention given to rocker/right-wing screamer Ted Nugent at the Big Horn Basin TEA Party picnic.
 Yet somehow, he is hailed as a hero by the far right.
We wrote a pair of stories about Nugent and published pro- and anti-Nugent columns. He is news, we realize, but we strove to offer a balanced view of the man and htes evidences pure racism based on color of skin instead of content of character, as he did in the Trayvon Martin debacle, our First Amendment abusing media are silent. Not a peep.
Nugent wrecked the promotion of his first new album in seven years and had his summer tour overturned by media attention that eclipsed it for what he couldn’t stop saying. His poisonous ideology could no longer be brushed off as vigorous differences in political opinion.
Nugent’s apoplectic rage over Barack Obama, his regular insistence that more than half the country is an infestation of cockroaches, that non-white people are to be regularly mocked, that anyone who doesn’t agree with this is a stinky hippie, a communist, subhuman, an America hater or unclean vermin, is not an outlying thing.
It’s the id of WhiteManistan.
“Unclean vermin” in “American Communist Party regalia,” according to Ted Nugent, protesting his show in Montclair, NJ, this summer. We observe the astonishing magnitude of his pathology.
Pew Research has a report abo and what it means for employment. Naturally, they have a lot of quotes from people in the tech industry, famous pioneers and others who merely qualify as cheerleaders.
What they all have in common is that they’re in the haves, many in the 1 percent. Everything’s going to be pretty good, according to them. But they no longer really live in the US. They’re in that place Tim Draper wants to turn into another state, Silicon Valley.
Why stop at statehood? National secession, followed by technology that hoists the place into orbit, say halfway between the Earth and the Moon, like that science-fiction movie with Jodie Foster in it that didn’t do so well.
It’s long, mostly depressing reading. To repeat: One of the hallmarks of the Culture of Lickspittle is that only the people at the top have the glibness and wisdom to tell everyone else how the future will be bright while most of the rest get the shaft. In one paragraph bites.

Would make a great American post card to the rest of the world.
I stopped writing about most incident and general computer security issues because there’s no longer any point to it. The stories of large breaches and new vulnerabilities come, often in multiples, every day.
News of it is of no practical use to the average person. It’s an endless river of excrement and a fact of life signifying nothing except the always on insecurity of the systems we are compelled to use every day.
So this is a bit of an exception. Hypocrisy? Yes, certainly. Guilty!
[Mr.], who is paid to consult on the security of corporate websites, decided to make details of the attack public this week to coincide with discussions at an industry conference and to let the many small sites he will not be able to contact know that they should look into the problem.
There is no reason to doubt it. But what is to be done with such a number? One and a half billion accounts, 500 million e-mail addresses.
So is the expectation of a fix. It’s beyond that. There’s no way to deal with 1.5 billion potential compromised accounts. To think so is to believe you can change the weather.
Go to a computer security vendor conference and interest the Times in getting the word out and that will do it? Seriously? I bet Hold Security doesn’t even believe that.
So what do you do if you’re on the computer security news beat or a system host and you read this? Write yet another piece advising people of the great gravity of the problem/revelation and that they should change their passwords? Speak for the millionth time about closing vulnerabilities? Should you automate another script or widget to badger or force your clients and users with mostly inconsequential accounts into changing their passwords? Again?
It’s so obvious that works.
How do we fix a billion and a half accounts with stolen credentials?
Easy, pay Keith Alexander a billion and a half dollars.
Keith Alexander wants you to believe, along with all the other simpletons and sycophants in the natsec journalism business, that he’s so insightful, so inventive, that at night — or in off hours from the NSA, he came up with unique computer security concepts and inventions that he will now sell or lease to the private sector.
Assessments of the threats to the nation’s , and consulting services to counter the “threat” to the government and the military. Instead, a true independent group should be set up to provide such assessments and evaluate the claims of computer security software and hardware vendors selling to the government and corporate America. The group must not be staffed by those who have financial ties to computer security firms. The staff must be compensated adequately so that it is not cherry-picked by the computer security industry.
In twenty years, Keith Alexander is now on top of a situation that is just the opposite.
Although the Issues in Science and Technology article is a very accurate slice of history from two decades ago, much in Electronic Pearl Harbor, Not Likely is pretty dated, quaintly naive even, and no longer relevant to the computer security discussion. Virus hoaxes are no longer around. Malware production exploded. Computer virus production became professionalized and they’re now used as clandestine weapons of war.
It takes government agencies like the NSA to develop things like Stuxnet. And the phenomenon took years to arrive but nevertheless, it has arrived.
Alexander, justifiably, is and should be a pariah. And we dig our global pariahs in 2014. It’s a national character trait. So we should own up to it because we deserve the guy and his grasping.
This week Argentina defaulted on debt repayment of $1.5 billion to a group of hedge-fund bond holders on Wall Street. The hedge funders, which the Argentinian government refers to as “vultures,” refused to take a hair-cut on the debt owed them, a devaluation that all the rest of Argentina’s creditors had agreed to years ago. They pursued Argentina in American courts and won a ruling that Argentina owed them as per the original terms.
“These past years have taught us a strategy of how to save up money in a reliable way,” Gustavo said.
The running narrative in the US and western press is that Argentina must repay its American “vultures” or suffer terrible unspecified consequences. Argentina is already unwelcome in global credit markets so it’s unclear what kind of revenge Wall Street could exact.

The Picture Exchange Communication System, or PECS, allows people with little or no communication abilities to communicate using pictures. People using PECS are taught to approach another person and give them a picture of a desired item in exchange for that item. By doing so, the person is able to initiate communication. A child or adult with autism can use PECS to communicate a request, a thought, or anything that can reasonably be displayed or symbolized on a picture card.
I know you can buy such boards, but they are not cheap or flexible enough. You could also use a tablet, but Scott has already smashed 2 smartphones and my tablet. This one is sturdy, cheap and has a lot of options. So you can also just make several.
Here is a video showing Scott using the Pecs board.
I have loaded sound files onto the board so that he learns how to use the keys. And with music, everything works.
The advantage is that the buttons are assigned to individual mp3's, and you can then easily exchange them. You can also use any language for your PECS. If you don't want to record the words yourself, you can also use text to speech and download them as mp3's.
The PECS board can also be used as a music player, or as a sound board. Here you can see Scott choosing his favorite music to chill to. Hopefully this won't cause a copyright claim on YouTube :)
This is the first prototype. There are still some improvements needed, but as you can see, it works.
Feel free to distribute,copy or modify this project. I´m happy if this build can help someone.

After a few weeks of continuous operation, I noticed a small bug. The power low output is sometimes too late. When the voltage is at the minimum and then the voicemodul starts, it can happen that the BOD of the Atmel switches off the processor. I still have to do some tests to reproduce the error and then I will adjust the software. So stay tuned.
After recharge, everything works fine again.

Scott is still having some problems using his boards as they are meant to be used. That's why they were turned into a game tablet and a music tablet at short notice. In any case, he can keep himself busy with it.

Scott is still having some problems, understanding, how to use the PECS board. In the meantime, we use it to keep him busy. This time with animal sounds. We have had children's books that made music or sounds, but their survival time with our son was very short. For tonight we have farm sounds and songs.

Hello,This should be the final version for the PECS board on GITHUB.
By holding button 1,2,3 or 4 for 2sec, the power LED goes out.That means you have successfully changed the volume, where 1 is the minimum volume and 4 is the maximum volume.
Selecting a folder is now possible via software. If you keep key 16 pressed for 5 seconds, the power LED goes out. You are now in programming mode. By pressing a key from 1 to 16, you select the corresponding folder.
Alain Mauer • 07/19/2021 at 07:12 • 1 comment
I have just released the new software for the PECS board on GITHUB.
Stop a music file by pressing the same button again.
Adjust the volume in four steps. Simply press button 1,2,3 or 4 for 2 seconds, until the music file is played as confirmation. 1 stands for silent and 4 for loud.
The volume setting is stored in the internal EEPROM.

For the moment, the LED only indicates whether the device is switched on or not. But since it is connected to an I/O port, it is also possible to display a programming status, for example.
The LED was grinded at the front, so that it doesn't protrude, and because it is diffuse now, it doesn't dazzle anymore.
Then it can simply be glued in.
Alain Mauer • 07/16/2021 at 12:25 • 0 comments
I have made some changes to the case. The current plans can always be found on my GITUHB,
I think this way it is easier to assemble the whole thing. Check the BUILD INSTRUCTIONS.

PECS pictures are usually simple drawings. However, I have found that Scott does not understand them very well. So I started taking photos of objects, and Scott seems to recognise them more.
So over the course of the week, I'll take pictures of drinks and food and see if Scott can tell me what he wants.
Will try to make a video of it

All the electronics are mounted on the back of the PECS board. The heart of the whole thing is an Arduino Pro Mini that runs at 8MHZ, so it only needs 3.3V. A DF mini player with micro SD card is responsible for the sound. A TP4056 charging module charges and controls the battery.
The DF mini player has 2 Watt output power, which is quite sufficient. Its TX and RX lines are connected to the Arduino. This allows the microcontroller to retrieve the files directly.
I have written a small manual for the DF mini here.
Its USB+ and - lines are soldered to the USB connector. This way the MP3's can be written directly from the PC to the SD without having to remove it. At the same time, the battery is charged via the USB connector.
The 8 wires of the matrix are also soldered to the Arduino. A voltage divider on the microcontroller monitors the battery status, and at 3.4V it issues a "Battery Low" warning.
Alain Mauer • 07/06/2021 at 06:02 • 0 comments
For the sixteen buttons, I built a DIY membrane keyboard. Self-adhesive vertical copper strips are glued to the underside.
The upper side consists of adhesive copper foil applied horizontally to a plastic sheet from a loose-leaf binder. Cardboard was used to separate the two foils.
Then the wires could now be soldered to the copper strips, four to the back and four to the membrane.
The cover sheet with the pictures is simply a printed picture for which a template has been created so that you can make them yourself without any problems. Afterwards, the sheet is simply sealed in laminating foil so that the pictures are protected against abrasion.
Here is the Updated Version
The enclosure is made of 3mm MDF boards that have been laser-cut. Of course, it should also work with a hobby saw.
"1" is the lowest part. Part "2" and part "3" are glued on top of it. This then looks like this.
The six M3 nuts are then used in part 3.
now glue part "4" and "5". This completes the bottom part
Part "3" is glued to part "4" first.
The circled things must be removed with the help of a cutter or side cutter.
On the back of "1", insert two M3 nuts at the bottom and glue on the elongated wooden part so that they no longer fall out.
Now "1" can be glued on
Copper tape from 10mm width works. mine is a little wider, but this is not a problem.
Four pieces cut to size and stick as shown in the photo.
Glue the bottom part with the top part and the enclosure is completed.
Before gluing the bottom part, do not forget the last 2 nuts in part "4", because they will hold the front cover.
Preparing the keyboard. Individual wires are soldered to the ends of the glued-on copper strips and then fed through the openings to the back of the board.
Now solder wires to the micro USB breakout board and the micro switch.
The battery and the charger board can now be glued in place with servo tape.
Then a quick test to see if the battery is charging.
Now the voltage divider, consisting of two resistors, is attached to the Arduino. This is for battery monitoring.
The PRO MINI and the DF MINI PLAYER are now attached with servo tape at the designated place.
Here you can also see the switch and the micro-USB board.
Glue in the LED and speakers, then wire everything according to plan. Now install the software and the board is up and running.
The file structure of the SD card in the DF mini Player
Connect the Pecs board with an micro USB Cable to a PC
The file folder 01 is accessed in the root directory, but you can create several, and then switch between the templates by renaming them.
The MP3 files are then uploaded inside the file folder, where 001.mp3 stands for the first button and 016.mp3 for the last.
020.mp3 should contain a text that indicates low battery power (e.g. Battery Low).
030.mp3 and 031.mp3 shall contain texts indicating that the device has not been used for some time but is still switched on (e.g. Hello, have you forgotten me).

@Alain Mauer Amazing! Kudos! How did you solve the capacitive cross talk when overlaying the horizontal copper strips over the vertical strips? I tried (and failed) so I had to move to cap touch sensor breakouts (3 breakouts with 12 sensors each) .  Your implementation of sound is great! I ended up using iOS’s text-to-speech.   Here’s my first prototype (Rel 1.0 is ready but being  documented).  https://www.hackster.io/pedro-martin/bluetooth-rpm-letterboard-7f2ff4

Trae Young (Right) and De’Andre Hunter (Left) shake hands while wearing the MLK jersey.
The Atlanta Hawks have released their city edition jersey whichAtlanta.
Each team in the NBA (National Basketball Association) has released their own version of a city edition jersey, which represents each city’s individual team in it’s own way.
The Hawks played their first game in the jersey on MLK day, Jan. 18, and will wear the jersey throughout the entire season.
The initials of King are shown on the front of the jersey and his signature is on the bottom left of the jersey. The black, gold and white colorway represents King’s determination and is also a nod to the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity which is the first Black Greek letter organization that King was a part of. The stars alongside on the side of the shorts represent the 22 times King was arrested for fighting for social justice and equality.
“There’s nothing better that we can do to represent the city of Atlanta than rolling out some jerseys that represent Dr. King and the legacy of Dr. King,” said Lloyd Pierce, Atlanta Hawks head coach.
The significance of the jersey is being recognized by student athletes at GHC as well.
“During a time like this, the significance means everything. The jersey shows how much power our athletes really have. They are playing for something bigger, and to be able to put MLK on the front of their jerseys and perform for our country says levels. [The Atlanta Hawks] are letting it be known that they will continue to fight for the things our ancestors fought for,” said Chargers guard, Cahiem Brown.
The Hawks’ hardwood court will also be customized to represent the themes of the King jersey. The Hawks’ logo in the center of the court will be customized to look like a mosaic pattern of a stained glass motif that would be found in a church.
The Hawks players are proud to represent the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and some players feel as though the jersey gives them an advantage while playing.
“I feel like, for me, it just gives a little bit of an edge. A little bit more of a chip to play harder and prove to the city of Atlanta that we’ve earned these letters,” said Hawks forward, John Collins.
On Jan. 7, The Vatican reached out to the Hawks for one of the MLK jerseys so the pope could bless and pray over the team and the jersey. The pope also acknowledged the stand players in the NBA havHawks posted a video on multiple social media platforms showing the pope receiving and blessing the jersey.
The Hawks have stated that proceeds from the jersey sales  communities of color.
One Response to “Atlanta Hawks honor Martin Luther King Jr. with special edition jerseys”
Debbie P on May 30th, 2021 1:39 pm
Why are the jersey proceeds going only to people of color? What about white communities? I am white and I purchase my favorite teams jetseys, however I will not purchase one of these that is blatant exclusion of white communities. Shame on you for allowing this racism and further racial divide. Include everyone, don’t exclude. If the roles were reversed, there would be riots, looting and burning down cities. Double standard.


Question 1: Peter, following the fire in 2010, did you set off in a different direction or just found that you discovered a heightened enjoyment of putting onto canvas that which you truly love?
Question 2. Peter, I detect a new kind of atmosphere in your paintings (I visited a while ago when you were not there) how would you describe your work post fire?
Question 3. The landscapes which include wildlife and women with finely honed features wearing colourful tribal costumes - those are themes and colours that your followers enjoy - have you changed the formula somewhat or are you an instinctive artist that has creative forces welling up each morning?Do you feel simply compelled to record it all?
My passion for Africa will always compel me to experiment with new methods to convey the intensity of the African experience. Africa speaks to me on a deeper level and I have travelled to many remote corners in search of inspiration and the earthy 'oneness' I feel for the land. I have found that, as an artist, it is vital to constantly challenge oneself – introducing elements in the form of texture, colour or subject that I have never done before…this keeps my works fresh and my approach new each time…Simply put…
Question 4. Do the aerial perspectives that you enjoy from your Jabiru J430 aircraft, influence your paintings, or does it just heighten your enjoyment of the finer things in life?You have travelled quite extensively and do you ever work in situ?
Question 5. Tell me briefly what attracts you to the Karoo and why have you opted for living part of the year there while you could be enjoying the coastal/lake splendours that we have here?Or phrased differently is it because you cherish the diversity that our country offers?and do you have a preference?

As we pay tribute to the fallen, we also vow that never again will we allow these events to happen.
That is the message by the Republic of Fiji Military Forces as they assemblethe tragic mutiny of November 2nd, 2000 yesterday.
The RFMF says as the sound of the bugle echoed through Queen Elizabeth Barracks, it reminded them of the fateful day where loyal soldiers and officers were fired upon by their comrades who had defected in their allegiance.
The military says their intentions were quite clear and spelled themselves out when they ran rampant throughout QEB, spraying live rounds all over.
The RFMF says in the course of this outraged action, three innocent soldiers lost their lives.
Yesterday, the whole of the RFMF came to a standstill to reflect on the magnitude of what transpired in Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Nabua.
Survivors of the fateful mutiny recalled the day with much sorrow as they narrated the sequence of events leading to the shootout.
The RFMF also says it was an honour to be joined by Prime Minister, Rear Admiral (Ret’d) Voreqe Bainimarama and his family. Bainimarama was the Commander at the time of the 2000 mutiny.y for the three fallen soldiers (23905 Lance Corporal S. Rawaileba, 25717 Private O. Rokosirinavosa, and 27247 Private T. Veilewai) who had lost their lives on that fateful day, together with their fellow comrades that had stood alongside their bravery to protect the principles of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces.
Family members of the fallen soldiers who were part of the service were joined by the RFMF Commander, Ro Jone Kalouniwai, Commander of the Republic of Fiji Navy, Commodore Humphrey Tawake,Commissioner for Fiji Corrections Service, Commander Francis Kean alongside former RFMF members.


within the last 10 days, 2 of my hubcaps have gone missing and i’ve noticed that the remaining two are each broken - as though they’ve been kicked or hit with something.
is it possible that normal wear and tear on these tires - they’re winter tires on a car with 28K miles on it - could cause this damage and the sudden and nearly simultaneous loss of the hubcaps?
or, does this sound like the work of a vandal - kicking each of the hubcaps and causing them to fall off while i’m driving?
I’m voting for vandalism. Highly unlikely that two hubcaps go missing in a short time, unless they weren’t put on correctly last tire rotation or tire switchout.
If they are coming off on the passenger side, then it is possible the driver is cutting corners too close and hitting the curb with some force. I would think you would know that if you did it.
do you think that once they’re cracked from being kicked or hit, they’re more likely to fall off??
Could you post a couple of photos?
Hard to say. I have had plenty of trouble with cheap plastic replacement wheel covers, and they fell off all by themselves. If the crack destroys the integrity of the clips or tabs that hold them on the wheel, then I would think they could fly off.
I would just run without hub caps for a while. In many large cities, you see folks do that because the vandalism/hubcap stealing just goes on.
by the way, these tires are on the passenger side, so they’re not the result of tight turns. i think the hub on tire 1 in particular looks like it’s just been kicked or hit with something. OR AM I CRAZY???
I am certainly no expert, but photo #3 looks like a stress crack. It is hard to break cleanly like the one crack on the rim has broken.
Photo #4 looks as much like hitting curb or protusion as anything else.
If these are on the passenger side, then I think odds of hitting a protruding curb on a tight right turn is fairly high.
Whose parking spot did you steal ?
Jilted ex ?
Any other cars in the same area with similar damage ?
Since I see no scraping or scrub marks from curbs I vote for vandalism.
This looks to me like impact damage…shattering when very cold and brittle, perhaps from hitting pot holes or even chucks of ice. Or perhaps even having been hit with thrown up rocks when cold.
Where do you live? What’s the driving environment like?
Based on your photos, to me, it’s pretty clear what’s going on. In my area, there’s been a rash of hubcap escapades. The vandals haven’t been caught. they are infamous for capping the hub, if you get my drift. All that is known is they drive a black SUV and are probably just teen-agers (description of smallish people) They like to work parking lots wt limited lighting. They use teeny instruments to crack the h-caps just so… often weeks before they fall off. The good news is they probably won’t do it to you again.
From what I can see it appears as though pic #1 has some minor abrasions on the rubber sidewall. Also it is only my opinion but I think if it were vandalism the perp would have targeted an area with some meat on it like where the spoke meets the middle.
IMOO it is simply wear & tear.

Well, I don't have any pictures. But don't worry, there was very little there worth taking a picture of. There were three harleys with very bad ass paint jobs and maybe one chic (she was on the back of one of 10 other sport bikes I saw there) that impressed me, other then that it was a bust. This was the second year they did it and Jason (the owner of Curley Browns bar and the organizer of the rally) said he had even more venders signed up for this year then last.......he was mistaken. There were less vendors there by a long shot. The stunt guys weren't even there this year. Gail's HD was suposed to have a dyno out there last I heard, but it was MIA. They did however have some crusty old guys in an old broke down bus with the windows boarded up. It was called the 'Tattoo Bus'.....looked like business was booming....not. I don't know what happened. There were at least twice the bikes that were there last year. On a good note, I took first place in the 'slow race'. I never did see a prize, not even a free shirt. Anyway, flame me if you want to, next time I'll at least have the pics of the three good bikes and the one good chic. I should have gone to Heartland and watched you guys I guess.
No you should have come and rode with us if someone can come and ride on a TL-S on three year old tires you can come on your bike.
It was pretty coold seeing people get airborne in the kink and such though on the front strait.That was crazy enough on a stock 600 I can only imajine what it would be like with 60 more HP.

Being transgender is hard. People sometimes make it much harder.
Four years ago today I finally received my first injection to block testosterone production.
Getting to that point demands almost infinite patience from transgender women in the UK. Some of us have to wait longer than I did since waiting lists even for the first gatekeeper appointment at a gender dysphoria clinic are incredibly long.
Today I read that rules that would allow me to be in a women’s ward of a hospital are going to be reviewed. Je. The latest call for human rights to be removed in case one woman is worried by another being given human rights.
It seems that we are fair game to have rights removed or not given and that it’s okay to legislate and call for legislation that treats us far from an equal part of society.
Prison rules are being reviewed too – largely because the MOJ made a very stupid mistake in one very public and distressing case. Perhaps the lies told in the newspapers over the course of the last year, falsely saying that a famous murderer wanted to transition and be in a women’s prison contributed to the current discourse too. There’s now talk of having a special transgender wing at one prison to house all the transgender prisoners from everywhere. Segregating us because we’re too dangerous.
Over and over again I see in the media people saying that people like me shouldn’t even be allowed to use a toilet. Over and over I hear that I’m not a proper woman. I hear that I’m a man and people say “I’m incredibly nice so I’ll allow people to identify how they want but they’re wrong and shouldn’t be given the same rights as those who actually are that thing.” I hear that my claim to existence is dangerous to “real women.” I’m told that giving me rights takes away women’s rights, which is a popular absurdity.
Recently I was told that I, like all transgender people, hate all women. I’ve been told that a claim to be me is hatred of women.
I’ve been told I’m not trying hard enough to be a “proper” woman. I’ve been told that I’m trying too hard and so perpetuate antiquated gender norms. I’ve been criticised for liking lots of skirts – because if you’re a transgender woman it’s okay to insult you for your clothing choices and you won’t even get someone use the Everyday Sexism hashtag.
I’ve been told I’m not a proper woman unless I get a vagina. I’ve been told having a vagina won’t make me a woman because that’s not what being a woman is about – and I agree with that.
I saw yesterday that transgender women aren’t afraid of being raped – yes we are – because we can’t get pregnant and would be ecstatically grateful for the attention if we were threatened with rape.
I’m told I should wear make up and hide my man face. I’m told wearing make up perpetuates false ideas of beauty.
I’m told, two days ago, that anyone over six foot is a man. For the record, I’m not quite that tall. Hearing that might come as a shock to our community liaison officer. A cisgender woman. I think she’s six foot three.
Transgender woman can’t win. Be feminine and we’re setting back women’s rights. Be more masculine – like the cisgender women I know who wear lots of men’s clothing – and we’re obviously faking our gender. Whatever we do, someone will criticise us. And that’s before the insults in the street which are pretty constant if you’re not “passing” and so getting “passing privileges” – as if it’s a privilege to not be treated like shit.
I hear that I shouldn’t ever want to play sports, except with men, because testosterone – of which I’ve had less than any cisgender woman for four years – gives me an advantage. It doesn’t. Four years ago it would have done but now it doesn’t, which is why the two year rule is in effect in many places. I saw yesterday that in the future all women’s sport will be “won by men” – men being people just like me.
I hear that being able to self-identify as female for a legal change )rather than going through a costly, dehumanising process that includes fun things like proving your identity to people who will never meet you by gas bills and needing psychiatric letters and in my case explanations of why I don’t have a vagina) will mean that sex-criminal men will start dressing up and entering changing rooms. Even though my legal access to such places doesn’t depend on having a gender recognition certificate. In fact getting the certificate depends on access to such spaces being used consistently, to living fully as my gender for at least two years. We are told both that we have to live a certain way to get a certificate and that we shouldn’t be allowed to live that certain way unless we have that certificate. Now I might want some checks in place in order to get the certificate, for the well-being and protection of transgender people. After all, the legal change under either system is for life so it’s a big decision that we don’t want to make in a rush. But the current system is horrible.
The toilet thing is dangerous to cisgender women. I’ve been told that I shouldn’t use the women’s toilet unless I have got that certificate and have had my birth certificate changed. And that I should be prepared to produce that birth certificate whenever challenged. [When I hear that “transgender women should …” I read “I should …” because I am a perfectly ordinary example.] But we’ve already seen cases of masculine looking cisgender women being challenged. Even thrown out of toilets in clubs and bars because they couldn’t “prove” their womanhood.
So I say it – transphobia isn’t just a danger to trans women (and to ALL trans people.) It’s a danger to ALL women. It’s a challenge to the rights of ALL women. Transphobia is, in practical terms, deeply misogynistic.
And that’s another thing. It’s my gender. It’s not my “chosen gender.” My pronouns are my pronouns. They’re not my “preferred pronouns” any more than they are for cisgender people. This is me. Living as me. It’s not a lifestyle choice.
Charities working for transgender people are demonised in the press and on TV. False accusations are made but once made, any false accusation is believed by more people. “There’s no smoke without fire.” Except there is.
It’s getting worse out there. People used to say, and still do say, “I’m not racist but …” Now they say “I’m not transphobic but …”
A good friend a while back said to me that she doesn’t like transgender people in general because they’re annoying and they all want “unfair treatment” (to be treated as who they are) and obstruct the rights of real women. But she knows me. I’m okay. That’s how some supposed allies talk. That’s how some friends talk, while be supportive in other ways.
It reminded me of the racist with a black neighbour. “I hate black people. Immigrants out. But I know you, you’re okay. So is Mo Farah!” I really should have said that to her. She’s not white so might have easily understood the analogy and applied it to the things she said to me.
Taking a big dump on transgender people is acceptable.
And all I want is to be me. That’s been my cover picture on Facebook since the day I started this account nearly six years ago after all those years of hiding myself away and thinking of myself as a monster.
You know me. I’m okay. But I am transgender people. They are me. We’re a varied bunch of course. But mostly we just want to get on with our lives and not hide ourselves.
If the things you say aren’t thing you would say about me then please don’t say them about transgender people in general.

Next Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal – One Year On


Mental Health is an overlooked and neglected part of healthcare. The Pakistani healthcare system is still struggling to provide primary and secondary healthcare causing mental health services to be pushed on the back burner. With rapid urbanization, disparity of health services and growing socio economic divide – the emphasis of mental health services becomes increasingly important.
Through this pilot program IRD Pakistan has been able to establish a novel way to approach mental health that enables community members to become a part of the solution and be catalyst for change. The m-health app enabled paperless execution and allowed the program to scale seamlessly.
