A review of Uncivil Wars, which chronicles David Horowitz’ attempts to initiate genuine debate on the dangers of the slavery reparations movement and the U.S. academia’s hostility to any such debate.
THE CONTEMPORARY CONTROVERSY over reparations for slavery lies at the heart of the culture war in America today. David Horowitz, the former Leftwing radical-turned Conservative, has just struck another stunning blow against the Left in his new book, Uncivil Wars. The Controversy Over Reparations For Slavery. He effectively dismantles the arguments for reparations, exposes the totalitarian mindset of the politically correct university campus that bolsters them, and provides a robust defense of American society and institutions.
Today, nowhere is support for reparations stronger than in American institutions of higher learning, where tenured radical academic elites literally control free thought and expression. Indeed, the campus thought police has shut down debate on the reparations issue, demonizing and marginalizing those who dare to trespass the correct political line.
In Uncivil Wars, the Conservative intellectual exposes the pitiful state of tolerance in American academia. The book provides a detailed account of how the fascist Left has attempted – unsuccessfully — to prevent Horowitz’s cunning presentation of anti-reparations ideas to university students.
Because Horowitz’s ideas are anti-Left — and therefore not permitted on American campuses or in the curricula of academic courses –- the author realized that he had to try a different tactic (other than writing scholarly work) to get his ideas into American universities. In the winter and spring of 2001, he tried to initiate a dialogue by airing his anti-reparations arguments in an advertisement, titled “Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Blacks Is a Bad Idea for Blacks — and Racist Too,” in college newspapers. This effort resulted in a violent attack on Horowitz and his character, as storm trooper and character assassination tactics were inflicted against him, as well as against the newspapers that carried his ad.
Uncivil Wars provides an account of how many student newspapers refused to carry Horowitz’s ad, while others that did run it quickly caved into the Left’s intimidation tactics, pulled the ad and even denounced themselves Maoist-style. At Berkeley, students stormed the offices of The Daily Californian to demand an apology after the newspaper ran the ad. They got one. At Brown, student protesters threw away thousands of free copies of The Brown Daily Herald, after the paper printed the ad.
The vitriolic attack, which included the typical Leftist accusations of Horowitz being a “racist” and a “fascist”, was made against an individual who had a long public history as an activist for civil rights. He marched in his first civil rights protest before many of his slanderers were even born — more than fifty years ago on behalf of President Truman’s Fair Employment Practices Commission, which outlawed discrimination against blacks in the civil service. He also spent much of his adult life in similar battles for black Americans. Today, he has family that is black, which includes his grandchildren. And yet, because he believes that reparations for slavery will divide America and harm black Americans rather than help them, he is censored and vilified by his political opponents.
Horowitz did, of course, have his many defenders in the reparations controversy. They included the distinguished black scholar Thomas Sowell and the editors of the USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Chicago Tribune, the Arizona Republic, and many other papers. In other words, when it came to the real world outside of academia, sanity and tolerance still prevailed.
The reparations claimants do not address these questions because, unlike some of the social reformers of the previous generation, they are not “well-intentioned.” They are very much aware that reparations will not make things better for the African-Americans for whom they purport to speak. So why do they support reparations? Although Horowitz himself does not specifically say it, his arguments make it clear: because their agenda is ultimately a destructive one that seeks to tear down civil society, not to better it.
In order to dismantle this oppression, therefore, reparations activists work for the destruction of America.
Horowitz goes on to successfully demonstrate that it is not racial and class oppression that hurts African-Americans, but the breakdown of the black family and the policy of welfare that has encouraged it. This is a truth that instills terror in every Leftist, because it represents a facet of human life that the socialist must stridently deny for the sake of holding on to the progressive faith. By emphasizing the tragedy of the normalization of the single-parent family in the black underclass, the author reveals the crucial importance of individuals making and paying for their own ethical and social decisions. But the Left must run from this basic given about human nature, because otherwise it would have to abandon the fairy tale that holds its vision in place: that social structures, especially those rooted in capitalism, are responsible for all human suffering. The radical utopian dream ultimately cannot accept that humans are incapable of being their own redeemers; it cannot digest the reality that human tragedy, alienation and inequality might be rooted in the human condition –- and in the heart of man.
“How can you explain to José Martinez, who may have come to this country in the last ten years, and who is struggling to put bread on the table for his family, that he has to pay reparations for an institution that has been dead for more than a hundred years, and which neither he nor his ancestors were ever a part of? How will you tell him that he has to pay those reparations to people like Johnny Cochran and Jesse Jackson who are multimillionaires, or to others who are doing better than he is, simply because they are black?
In presenting these arguments, Uncivil Wars distinguishes itself as a monumentally important work. In coming to the defense of American history and institutions, it crystallizes the urgency of deciphering not only the destructiveness of the reparations campaign, but the nightmarish crisis that exists in American academia. It becomes clear that because the Left is unable to tolerate ideas that are anathema to its own, it has vehemently and ruthlessly worked to dominate and politicize the university campus. In that effort, it has succeeded, and it explains why Conservatives have been virtually driven out of academia. It also explains why, at this present moment, Uncivil Wars will not find itself into the curricula of any academic American history courses in the country.
Uncivil Wars forces all Americans to confront the pathological illness that resides in their institutions of higher learning. While in the 1950s the university saw itself as having the mission of facilitating a diverse pursuit of knowledge, today it serves solely as the Left’s vehicle for political indoctrination and social change. It is here that lies Horowitz’s vital and ominous warning.
Uncivil Wars is also clearly very much a personal story. It is about one man’s decision to become a warrior in a war that, by necessity, exacts a large personal sacrifice. But as an individual who comes from the Left’s former ranks, and who has witnessed the violence and death that the progressive ideology inflicts, Horowitz has clearly discerned that standing on the sidelines in the culture war is a luxury he cannot afford. It is for this reason that, in this work, as in his previous ones, he comes out swinging with the gloves off. The fight for America is on, and, as Uncivil Wars reveals, it is being lost on the university campus. Unlike many of his Conservative contemporaries, the author is ready and willing to go down fighting alone — alongside the American virtues and principles that are now under vicious attack.
Despite its attempt to wipe its arch-rival out of reality, the American Left continues to face its ultimate nightmare: David Horowitz is still standing -– and talking. More troubling to the Left yet: he doesn’t seem like he’s going anywhere anytime soon. On a smaller scale, Horowitz represents to the academic Left what Alexander Solzhenitsyn represented to the Soviet regime; he exemplifies the irritating and threatening reminder to tyranny that human freedom, and the triumph of the human spirit, can ultimately never be suffocated or suppressed.
Uncivil Wars is a remarkable achievement — written by an intellectual heavyweight who has been barred from academia. Tragically, tens of thousands of young minds in American universities will be robbed of the essential necessity of reading this scholarly gem. But the history of totalitarian regimes offers hope. Who could have guessed, after all, during Joseph Stalin’s reign, that, within one generation, for a brief moment in time, Russians would be able to read freely One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich? If that miracle occurred in the midst of the Soviet monstrosity, then who can say that, one day, there may not be a thaw in the Left’s despotic control of thought in American academia? The hope remains that maybe even within a generation, a miracle might occur inside the classrooms of academic indoctrination — and the eyes of university students will, perhaps even for a precious and magical moment, be allowed to fall on the forbidden pages of Uncivil Wars.

I don’t usually try to cover all of European soccer stadium news, both because there’s so much of it and because the stadium swindles that typify North American sports are largely unheard of there, for varied reasons having to do with government attitudes toward corporate subsidies, team ownership structure, and the way the leagues themselves are organized. (Real oversimplified version: It’s hard to shake down your city for stadium money by threatening to leave if your city can just start a new minor-league team and have it play its way up to the majors in a few seasons.) But I’m going to make an exception for F.C. Barcelona‘s $711 million stadium expansion plans, not just because we’re a Barça household here, but also it reveals some interesting things about how stadium finance works these days.
Aside from providing exciting new ways for Barça fans to fall to their deaths, apparently, that’s a whole lot of room for new places to sell stuff to fans. And indeed, a “new zone of restaurants” is one of the things the club has planned as a revenue generator for the redone space, as well as doubling the number of VIP seats to almost 8,000, and selling “partial” naming rights to the building, which probably means something like MetLife Stadium’s corporate sponsored entrances, though without the corporate stadium name since that wouldn’t fly well with Barça fans.
It’s all a lot like the $1 billion in upgrades that the owners of the New York Knicks and Rangers undertook to Madison Square Garden a few years back: A fabulously wealthy franchise spending a bunch of money in the hopes of making more money in the future. The parallel even goes as far as F.C. Barcelona (along with three other Spanish clubs) getting special tax breaks like MSG, something the European Union keeps threatening to rule on the legality of — though also like MSG, they get the tax breaks regardless of what they spend on stadium upgrades, so this expansion really is coming out of the team’s own pocket, even if that pocket has been previously bulged a bit with cash at public expense.
The other difference, of course, is that those Barça fans are the team’s owners — it’s that ownership structure, in fact, that is getting them (plus Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, and Osasuna, who despite the extra cash are mired down in the second division) the special tax treatment. And the fan-owners actually voted on the Camp Nou renovation (vs. another proposal of building a whole new stadium), so arguably you could say that this is an example of fans just wanting a snazzier place to watch the game (and buy things), and tapping the team’s deep pockets to pay for it.
So what does this — along with other new team-funded stadiums like Chelsea‘s, which recently got the ultimate in vaportecture videos, a series of renderings created by a season ticket holder who responded to a team request for design proposals — say about how stadiums should be built, renovated, and funded in North America? That if you’re popular enough, obviously, there are certain cases where spending hundreds of millions of dollars in team money on upgrades can make sense, both financially and (one hopes, if the Barça voters were smart) in terms of actual fan enjoyment. For the vast majority of teams, though, in a saner world it would be more about smaller, incremental upgrades as the fan base grows — like, for example, the expansion that newly first-division Eibar is undertaking to expand its teeny 6,000-seat stadium (better photos here).
That’s also pretty much how the U.S. stadium and arena world worked for the first half of the 20th century, before the threat of moving teams and mayors who thought their job was to throw “development incentives” at private companies and professional economic impact studies changed the world and made it necessary for Joanna Cagan and I to write a book and start this website. We might get back there again someday, maybe, but in the meantime I think I’ll be renewing the fieldofschemes.com domain name just the same.
European soccer remains generally outside the scope of this site, but I think I can make an exception for freakin’ F.C. Barcelona, which has announced it will conduct a major remodeling of its historic Camp Nou stadium rather than replacing it. The cost will be about $800 million, will run from 2017 through 2021 while the team still plays there, and will include added seating, new restaurants, and a new roof.
“The option of building a new stadium on a new site has been rejected as the final cost could have saddled the club and its members with debt and tied the hands of future boards of directors,” added Rosell.
That’s eminently logical, and of course not at all the way we do things here, where fears of saddling teams with debt are typically used as a reason to demand public subsidies, not to scale back costs.
In other we’re-not-in-Kansas news, the Camp Nou remodeling will be voted on by Barcelona’s 222,000 members, since these fans are effectively shareholders in the team. I can’t even imagine what this system would look like if it were implemented here, since as we all know, voting on things is un-American.

City of Kinston intern Adam Caldwell, with guidance from Mayor B.J. Murphy, recently presented proposals to change the state Legislature’s local bill process to craft legislation that is fairer to local governments.
A local bill allows a state legislator to effect change in a single municipality or county via state law, and does not have to be signed by the governor once approved by a majority vote by the General Assembly.
Caldwell, a freshman at ECU, was one of three interns to work with Murphy this past summer.
“When I interviewed each internship candidate I tried to find their strengths, and Adam seemed to be really interested in public policy,” the mayor said Saturday.
Earlier this year, city officials scrambled to defeat a local bill proposed by former Rep. Stephen LaRoque, R-Lenoir, to equalize water and sewer rates for Kinston utility customers living in and outside of the city limits.
Kinston’s outside utility customers — like those in many other cities in the state — are charged higher rates to maintain infrastructure extended to areas outside of town decades ago, where no other infrastructure existed.
City leaders feared this could cause a major rate increase for inside customers, and hit industrial customers especially hard.
“The water and sewer issue that was discussed in the local bill did not distinguish Kinston from other municipalities,” Murphy said.
The bill was opposed by other members of Lenoir County’s legislative delegation, and was ultimately sent back to committee without a vote.
Caldwell’s report laid out the local bill process, which has not been effectively changed since 1917.
The General Assembly had a long session in 2011, which included passage of a two-year budget, and a short session of a few months in 2012, when LaRoque’s bill came up.
Any legislator can introduce a local bill during a long session held during an odd year, but during short sessions in even years, a legislator must obtain consensus from his or her delegation, which LaRoque had reportedly not done before introducing his water and sewer bill.
Caldwell’s report noted House and Senate members who represent Lenoir County had opposed the bill.
The report included two suggestions for improving the local bill process, such as a statute requiring the same rules for short and long sessions, and ensuring the “majority of the local delegation” approves of the bill.
Murphy said, once this year’s elections are settled in November, Kinston officials will present the proposed changes to local legislators, leaders of the House and Senate, and various committee members.

The third step, abundant in broad plains, is dotted with the foothills and lower mountains, with altitudes of over 500 meters. Here are located famous plains: the Northeast, the North China, and the Middle-Lower Yangtze Plains, neighboring with each other from north to south. These well-cultivated and fertile lands produce abundant crops.
Although the physical features are as described, people tend to divide China into four regions, that is, the North, South, Northwest and the Qinghai-Tibetan areas. Because of geographical differences, residents of each region have distinctive life styles and customs.
China has numerous rivers and lakes. According to statistics, more than 50,000 rivers have drainage areas that exceed 100 square kilometers; more than 1,500 exceed 1,000 square kilometers. These rivers can also be classified as exterior and interior rivers. The Yangtze, the longest in China and even in Asia, is the third-longest in the world. The Yellow River, ‘Mother River of the Chinese People’, is just behind the Yangtze, both flowing into the Pacific Ocean. The Yarlung Zangbo River belongs to the Indian Ocean water system, and the Irtysh River to the Arctic Ocean. On the other side, the interior rivers drain less area than the exterior ones.
China has large areas of mountainous land, about two-thirds of the country. The ranges mainly run from east to west and from northeast to southwest. Among these mountains, some reach to the sky, and others are lower with charming scenery. Out of the mountains throughout the world at the altitude of over 7,000 meters, over 50 stand in China. To the east in China, lower mountains like Mt. Taishan, Mt. Huashan, and Mt. Emeishan, also display their unique beauty.
In addition, they hide rich treasures including botanic, zoologic, and mineral resources.

The one thing about Madison, most of the FMs are Class A rimshots. WXXM is one of them.
92.1's tower near Sun Prairie puts city grade coverage mostly into rural areas east of Madison.
These FM translators are not as strong, but some of them are close to a Class A and they have city grade coverage in Madison and the immediate surrounding area, with a somewhat listenable signal elsewhere.
If they wanted to switch 106.7 to Classic Country to simulcast 1550 and 97.7, they could do that. It would make sense. More market coverage, especially in the rural areas west of Madison. 97.7 filling the gap to the east that 106.7 does not make.
Then if say they wanted to do Progressive Talk on 1670 and 96.7, the FM would be coming in from the south on the Magic 98 tower. That would give them a city grade signal in the Madison area, and probably a listenable signal from Evansville to Waunakee.

One among essentially the most typical electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a change. Whilst making use of switches in your house is sort of uncomplicated, wiring just one might not be that quick for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is definitely quite simple to wire. You will discover different types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you will be installing a single-pole toggle switch, a very prevalent change (as well as easiest).
You'll find 3 hues of wires inside a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them over the terminal screws - just one on major and also the other about the base screw with the switch. The white wire serves as being a resource of uninterrupted energy which is typically linked to some mild colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the inexperienced wire to your ground screw of your respective switch.
These steps would normally be sufficient to create a typical swap function with no issue. On the other hand, if you are not confident you can achieve the process properly and securely you improved enable the professionals do it alternatively. After all, there is a rationale why this endeavor is probably the most common electrical wiring questions questioned by most of the people.
For some cause, how you can wire a ceiling fan is likewise among quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring questions. To simplify this undertaking, you may use only one swap for your single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it can be just a make any difference of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan on the black wire on the switch. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire really should be connected for the black wire from the swap too.
You'll find motives why these are generally the most frequently questioned electrical wiring inquiries. 1, quite a few assume it really is uncomplicated to try and do, and two, these are typically the frequent electrical duties in your house. But then you definately must not place your security in danger in the aim to save cash. The stakes could even be significantly bigger in the event you attempt to cut costs and do an electrical wiring career with no sufficient knowledge or practical experience.

How Basic Self-Defense Combinations Can Save Your Life!
Kathy Long is a mixed martial arts fighter and five time world kick boxing champion. In this video, she demonstrates how to respond if someone grabs your arm from behind.
It shows great use of the palm heel strike (the easiest and safest strike for beginners to learn) and illustrates how responding deliberately within the first moments of an attack can help save your life.
Check out more basic self-defense techniques here.
To look at me, you wouldn’t think I’d be a formidable adversary in some kind of hand-to-hand confrontation. A whopping 5’5” weighing in at about 130 pounds (give or take a few—depending on how many Krispy Kremes I happen to devour recently), I don’t seem like much of a threat.
But years ago, my husband and I began training in Krav Maga. He wanted to help me increase my ability to protect myself, and I thought it would be a great way to help eliminate some of the results of my frequent ‘doughnut overindulgence.’ And maybe I’m just getting old, but society—in general—seems to (me) more violent and less respectful than ever. So I considered that learning a few basic rules of self-defense couldn’t hurt, right?
Originally, I found it extremely awkward performing the straight punch and front kicks… but only at first. Like any sport or hobby—for instance, learning to play a musical instrument or how to hit a softball—making sure I was standing correctly and making the proper motion just took a few practices before it became more comfortable. And, once it did, our little daily session got more exciting and much more fun.
Indeed, I realized that practicing Krav Maga with my husband was a great way for us to spend more time together. We were both learning an activity that neither of us had previously experienced, and so this was a new element of enjoyment in our relationship.
However, the reasons for knowing how to defend myself never really influenced me deeply until our daughter was born. Here was this sweet, innocent child who depended on me for everything! I strongly felt that I needed to know how to guard and protect her. Parents understand that intensity… but it’s impossible to describe.
This is one of the reasons that I love Survival Pack. It gives an added layer of defense to the awareness I already practice in the form of a bodyguard type app. Something that I learned early on is that predators (people who look to hurt, steal, or otherwise want to turn innocent bystanders into victims) search for distracted, solitary individuals. But, self-defense training gives you a confidence that you telegraph without even knowing it, and the Survival Pack app boosts that confidence.
So what are my reasons for learning self-defense? My family. Not only do I want to be able to defend myself, but I want to teach my daughter the same. The physical benefits are just a welcome, secondary bonus.

Can Snapchat Help Your Marketing Strategy?
Another day – another social media platform is making headlines.
This fun app allows users to post short photos videos, called stories, and share them with others, with the content being deleted after 24 hours.
In the past few years, Snapchat has asserted itself as a dominant player in the online space, and one that has business owners paying attention.
This is a valuable channel to reach the younger generation, as most users are under 24 years of age.
In fact, 71% of users are 18-34 years old. As of September 2016, they had over 150 daily active users all over the world.
What is the best way to reach these audiences – with a well thought out marketing strategy.
Simply creating a Snapchat account can provide you with a platform to interact with your current clients and market your products or services to prospective ones.
As the majority of users are young, utilise this opportunity to create fun and engaging content that will be interesting to a younger audience.
Here are some recommendations for creating Snapchat stories – upload content from live events – these can include a company party, an inspiring company meeting, or simply a mad sale at your store.
In 2016, Snapchat integrated 10-second, full screen, vertical business ads into their content, called “Snap Ads Between Stories.
”The interesting thing about this offering is that users can swipe up if they are interested in more information about the company.
They can get access to an extended ad, or access a link to an additional source, such as a website or app.
In fact, the ads are so impactful that world-known brands, such as Procter & Gamble, Verizon and Paramount Pictures, have already become Snapchat clients.
Brands that use Twitter encourage their audiences to market their services with a hashtag, but Snapchat business owners can take that a step further.
For a fee, they can users to use Geofilters, a way to filter their image or video while promoting the brand.
For example, a store can create a localised geofilter, which customers can use to enhance their stories, then sharing it with their followers letting them know where they are located!
The filters don’t have to be location-specific – users anywhere can post their stories using your filters; however, be careful as the more people use your filters, the higher your bill will be!

I could have added the subtitle "... at the moment". Such is the life of my nearly five year old son. Boys really are a different breed. I knew that in part just from marriage experience. But a little boy - wow! I see why so many moms think they need to medicate their young boys. I'm keep the faith though that this energy will turn into productive activity in the near future. As long as I can unleash him to the backyard, we should all be okay. Speaking of furious, I'm hopeful we have that under control. There's nothing quite as disconcerting and yet completely hilarious at the same time as a little boy screaming at the top of his lungs over the lack of "treats."
Too true, Jenna. Aidan and his friend Max were sword fighting here at our house about an hour ago. They slayed several "dragons" (their dog and ours, and the dads) and just generally beat on each other gleefully. In the meantime, the girls sat on the couch and giggled over a book together. I love getting to experience both sides.

【For Kids】Observe, Discover and Report!
Choose and observe an ordinary item that you see in your daily life. How does it feel? Can you dissect it into pieces? You can eat and give a comment like a TV reporter, only if your chosen item is edible! Activate all five senses and discover.
In this lesson, you choose one item from any goods that you see or what you often eat in your daily life, and have close observation of it.
Discover what you are not aware of!
●For example, you can observe a paper bag, a box of tissue, or any candy.
●For what purpose you use that item? How does it feel and smell? Activate all five senses and observe your chosen item closely.
●After your observation, we will draw a sketch of your chosen item on a drawing paper. Remember what you discovered in the observation and reflect your discoveries in your drawing!
●Once you are almost done with your drawing, write down your discoveries about your chosen item in the blank space of your drawing paper!
If your chosen material is dissectible, you can dissect it into parts and pieces! For example, a paper bag is one of those items that students dissect in this lesson.
Once you dissect your chosen item, you can stick some dissected parts to your drawing paper with glue. And…done!
☆Any candies that you favor, and anything else that would be good to observe in this lesson!
・A set of colored pencils, or a set of paint; red, yellow, and blue are sufficient.
・A roll of scotch-tape, a pair of scissors, sharpies, and etc.
Of course, high school students and adults are also welcome to take this lesson!

There are multiple creek crossings. At times, the trail travels on steep banks with some trail washout or a very narrow path in places. There is some deadfall including large trees and portions of lightly overgrown trail presenting some navigation challenges the further upstream you go.
This trail features a number of creek crossings that are necessary on this less-used section of the Snowbird Creek Trail since most rehears turn around at Middle Falls. Around these creek crossings, the trail can become faint and hard to follow, keep your eye on the Trail Run Project mobile app to make sure you're on the right path.
From the start of this section of Snowbird Creek Trail located at the second junction (upstream end) with the Snowbird Creek Alternate Trail #64A, the trail passes Upper Falls and proceeds to a signed junction with Mitchell Lick Trail #154 near the source of Snowbird Creek. As of 2017, the sign at Mitchell Lick is rotted and barely readable.

Delay of Game by Tracey Richardson – She Sighed!
Blissful page-turner of an adventure romance set at the Vancouver 2010 women’s ice hockey, which culminates in the gold medal match between USA and Canada. All the scores are real, so we know Canada is going to win and the USA is going to lose. There’s more intrigue and mystery thrown in to keep us on our toes!
Woman A coaches Team Canada. She’s been out of the game for a while having a complicated family life, but is back for the Vancouver Games.
Woman B is the ageing star player of Team USA, going for one last medal before her body gives out.
Woman A and Woman B had a big, big thing together at university when they played on the same team, but they fucked it up. Now they’ve matured a bit, they get a second chance, yay! Trouble is, it’s the Olympics and they are on opposing teams that totally hate each other.
For those who don’t know anything about hockey, let me explain this in football terms: it’s the equivalent of England and Germany playing in the World Cup final. Imagine the German manager having a covert thing with the ageing England captain with all the experience (think Beckham in his last few games – slower but still inspiring to have around). Then throw in a plot where someone is trying to throw matches and keeping sport honest suddenly becomes an aspiration that might just transcend national loyalties. As does snogging, naturally.
I’m not going to tell you what happens (Canada wins!) but do enjoy the cartoon villain that is the USA coach and the moral strength and politeness of the Canadians. I’d bet money that the author is Canadian, and a hockey player.

As a cartoonist I'm partial to origin stories. Here's mine--it's a bit long, but skip to the photos if that suits you.
Mikhaela here. I'm a (political) cartoonist and graphic designer, extremely pregnant (26 weeks!) and I recently recaptured my love of sewing with a vengeance after a five-year hiatus.
It all started with my grandmother's serger. Cartoonist Husband (also known as Masheka, see the painting in the background) and I were instituting a ruthless purge of our smallish Brooklyn apartment in preparation for Cartoonist Baby, and I came upon the Kenmore 2/3/4-thread serger that had sat unloved in a box in the closet since my beloved grandmother Melba died and left it to me.
I realize this is a heinous sewing crime, considering how many sewists yearn for a serger--but, dear imaginary readers, I was afraid. I had only used it once or twice under my grandmother's eye, and the manual and all those looper threads frightened me. Besides, she had also left me the money to buy a conventional sewing machine, and I had purchased a used Husqvarna Viking Platinum 730 and a handy compact Horn sewing cabinet which I could squeeze into the corner of my living room. This machine I understood--even if in recent years, she had only been used for hemming and assorted Halloween costumes.
1998: The "See & Sew" Era.
Now, I come from a family of sewists, quilters and knitters. My mother is an expert seamstress (teacher by day) who began making all her own clothes at the age of 10; she later made almost all of my and my brother's clothes for quite some time.
She started teaching me to sew at a young age, but I didn't go beyond the very basics until I found myself taking a semester off from Harvard, living at home, and working part-time loading packages onto trailer trucks at a UPS shipping hub. My friends were off at school, my parents were at work, and I had my hard-earned UPS dollars and access to my mother's Viking and a car. The sewing stars were aligned!
An ill-fitting (first FBA attempt!) princess-seamed green polyester gabardine "See & Sew" sheath dress.
A black tank top with poorly-stitched pink armhole trim.
An unwearable elastic-waist "2-hour skirt."
An unflattering pair of elastic-waist "2-hour pants."
A size 12 fitting sloper in gingham check--I made it, fitted it perfectly according to the instructions... but had no idea what it was actually for, except that all my sewing and fitting books said I should make one.
Finally, triumph--a fully-lined, well-fitting spaghetti-strapped surplice-neckline rayon challis ankle-length dress... in 90s-appropriate tiny floral print.
Most of the patterns I purchased back then are gone as well, but my taste wasn't ALL bad--the below gems have made it through a multitude of pattern purges. One is still even in print. Maybe I'll even sew them someday!
In the winter, I spent a week in Georgia with my grandmother Melba and we spent the whole week sewing and talking about sewing. She gave me serger lessons and lots of pointers and shortcuts, and we pored over her favorite notions and thread catalogs (and the 99-cent pattern assortment at her only local fabric source, Wal-Mart). I was DEEP into sewing obsession--until I went back to college sans sewing machine.
2004: Return of the (Husqvarna) Viking For the next six years, sewing was not on the radar--I finished up at Harvard, moved to Manhattan (then Brooklyn), and was seriously sewing-machine deprived. Then Melba died (cartoon remembrance here), leaving me her serger and money to buy a sewing machine. How could I NOT get back into sewing? My grandmother (and, with her, I imagined, her mother and her mother's mother...) was counting on me!
I resubscribed to Threads, took a class at Sew Fast, Sew Easy, began exploring the Garment District (Mood! Paron's! Daytona!) joined PatternReview, dug out my old patterns, fabric and books and began acquiring new ones at an alarming rate. I even subscribed to Burda World of Fashion, though I never got up the guts to actually trace anything.
The $2/yard polyester gored polkadot skirt.
The lazy unhemmed no-elastic Simplicity chartreuse cotton lycra skirt.
The aqua and chartreuse New Look 6429 knit dress (again with the raw hems, due to fear of twin needles).
But sewing without sewing friends can be a lonely pursuit, and cartooning is already solitary enough. Just as my stitchery was getting into proper gear, I joined a fabulous knitting group or two, made some amazing friends and Lost My Way. Knitting was so social, so portable (hello subway commute!), and so suddenly popular! My sewing cabinet began to gather dust and yarn began to displace fabric in my drawers. I read Interweave Knits instead of Threads and added dozens of knitting blogs to my RSS reader. I joined Ravelry and progressed quickly from scarves to hats to socks to sweaters to colorwork to... carpal tunnel.
Severe physical-therapy-requiring carpal tunnel. I had to cut back to knitting only the one or two hours per week in knitting group, but it didn't even occur to me that perhaps it was a sign I had been giving my precious few hours of free time to the Wrong Craft.
And here I am a month and a half later, completely and totally obsessed and wondering how I ever could have stopped. In the next few days I'll be posting my recent pattern reviews, but for now my mother and I are off to the fabric store.
Update! My mother went into her Mikhaela archives and found my first skirt!
You MUST sew the vogue 9668. Can not say enough good things about it.
Oh I SO will... when I'm not pregnant anymore. I thought about trying to adapt it for maternity (here's a sketch) but I'll probably just wait!
Hi Mikhaela, I've just found your blog and added it to my reading list. I love your colourful (sic - I'm British) taste in clothes and hope that if I become pregnant I'll be as stylish as you. I love your cartoons too - in particular 'Gay marriage drove us to divorce'!

It is suggested that CBD could be applied as either a supplementary medication or a full alternative to current drugs. Since, besides the description of its “anti-zit” effects, we have furthermore revealed the detailed cellular physiology mechanisms of the individual effects of CBD, our research may foster the development of other new medications which target those receptors which are responsible for the development of the beneficial effects of CBD. Therefore, based on our results, the pharmaceutical anti-acne research activities may be expanded to molecules with novel mechanisms of action. Study results propose the possibility that CBD may be used as a highly efficient and side effect-free anti-acne medication.
Human skin, especially on the face, neck, back, and chest is covered in hundreds of thousands of microscopic hair follicles, often called pores. For reasons no one completely understands, these follicles sometimes overproduce cells and become blocked. Sebum (oil) which normally drains to the surface gets trapped and bacteria begins to grow. All acne lesions start out as a microcomedone.
There are two main types of acne. Microcomedones can spontaneously become unplugged and heal or they become non-inflamed skin blemishes called comedones–either a whitehead or a blackhead. When the trapped sebum and bacteria stay below the skin surface, a whitehead is formed. Whiteheads may show up as tiny white spots or they may be so small that they are invisible to the naked eye.
A blackhead occurs when the pore opens to the surface and the sebum, which contains the skin pigment melanin, oxidizes and turns a brown/black color. It is not dirt and can not be washed away. Blackheads can last for a long time because the contents very slowly drain to the surface. A blackhead or whitehead can release its contents to the surface and heal or the follicle wall can rupture and inflammatory acne can ensue. This rupture can be caused by random occurrence or by picking or touching the skin. This is why it is important to leave acne prone skin relatively untouched.
The cause of pimples is unknown. The process by which a pimple develops is highly intricate. While we do know that a pore collapses on itself and blocks sebum (oil) from escaping, we do not fully understand why this process takes place in onesebaceous gland versus another.

When Simon Property Group Inc. two years ago announced plans to spin off its less glitzy, less profitable malls, executives said they’d given the properties short shrift as they focused on large acquisitions and redevelopment projects.
“The fact of the matter is, there have been a number of opportunities that the team has wanted to pursue that we put at the bottom of the list because we were focused on outlet growth or major redevelopment,” Simon CEO David Simon said at the time.
But some analysts saw an ulterior motive—a desire to cast off dicier properties before performance soured.
That fear proved well-founded, as the mall industry bifurcates into a world of haves and have-nots. Simon specializes in the former—upscale properties with the best tenants and entertainment options. The latter, so-called B and C malls, are losing out as retailers—many of them struggling—decide they need fewer brick-and-mortar locations to serve customers in the internet age.
The California-based retail real estate research firm Green Street Advisors said in a report that the top 3.5 percent of U.S. malls account for 22 percent of total U.S. mall value. On the other end of the spectrum, C malls make up 27.5 percent of all malls but account for just 4 percent of value.
And those divisions could get even more pronounced, as retailers further pare locations to boost performance. Specialty chains announcing closings in recent months include Finish Line, Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch and PacSun. In addition, some of the nation’s best-known department store chains are foundering, and analysts expect several to retrench. A report this spring from Green Street said J.C. Penney would need to close 320 stores, Sears would have to close 300, and Macy’s would have to close 70 to return sales per square foot to 2006 levels.
For their part, retail real estate executives cast the concerns as overblown. In fact, Simon and Kite Realty Group Trust—Indianapolis’ publicly traded retail developers—say they are doing well and have a bright outlook.
“Our portfolio has never been stronger, and we still have significant demand for our properties,” Simon President Richard Sokolov said on an April 26 conference call.
On a conference call two days later, Kite CEO John Kite said new retail development had slowed to a trickle, which gives the company leverage to lure in new tenants at higher rents when retailers shutter stores.
But the leverage is greater when demand is higher—as is the case with properties like the Fashion Mall at Keystone. Simon revealed last year the mall had eye-popping sales per square foot of $818, which puts it in the A+ range under Green Street’s grading scale.
Simon’s high-end focus has helped keep investors interested in the stock, despite the avalanche of negative headlines nationally about troubles among brick-and-mortar retailers. Simon shares are fetching $194—up from $171 a year ago, though down from their high earlier this month of nearly $215.
To no surprise, it’s been a rougher road for the Simon spinoff, which was known as Washington Prime Group before it acquired Glimcher Realty Trust last year and took on the moniker WP Glimcher Inc.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have never been as red hot as they are now, as companies apply them for use in everything from autonomous vehicles to game systems to contact center software. However, not every industry has embraced the benefits of machine learning equally. Healthcare in particular is lagging behind significantly -- unfortunate since the use of machine learning and AI can positively impact society in a big way by enabling faster diagnosis.
I know some, but not all, of you are aware that in late 2016 my wife, Christine, was diagnosed with something called "common variable immune disorder," or CVID, after being sick for the better part of three years. The diagnosis came only after she had gone from specialist to specialist, having had vials of blood drawn and having been poked and prodded only to hear, "We don't know what you have but it isn't X" (X = the doctor's area of specialty). One specialist even ruled out CVID, but a different doctor later said she did indeed have the disorder.
There is no cure for CVID, but Christine is now going through a treatment in which she gets a four-plus-hour IV infusion of immunoglobulin every 28 days to boost her immune system. An accurate diagnosis early in the process would obviously have improved her quality of life much faster.
In June, we attended a conference hosted by the Immune Deficiency Foundation, and there we met others who have similar illnesses to Christine's. (As a side note, I had no idea that immunity illnesses are so numerous -- there are dozens.) We attended the event to learn more about her illness and see how other people cope with it. Everyone we talked to had a similar story of being sick from anywhere from two up to 10 years before getting a proper diagnosis.
During a session on understanding immunological testing, Dr. Manish Butte from UCLA Medical Center went shared the diagnostics and testing results of a number of case studies. In every case, something odd popped up in the datasets, but as the anomaly didn't pertain to the primary diagnosis for which the doctor was testing, it had been ignored. Because immunity problems are rare, nobody starts the process looking for one.
Me, being the curious sort of person I am, asked Butte why the doctors had ignored the anomalous data. Since the anomalous data didn't contribute to the diagnosis for which they were testing, and because doctors rarely look outside their fields of view, they ignore that sort of data, he explained. I then probed a bit deeper as to how the process works. If the patient is getting multiple tests from multiple doctors, why doesn't someone try and connect those dots? He was brutally honest in his response, as many doctors tend to be. Many doctors are not all that aware of many immunity conditions. In addition, doctors are great at finding common problems, but have a problem finding uncommon ones -- and most immunity problems fall into the latter category.
For me, the logical next question was about whether the medical industry has ever considered using machine learning algorithms to connect the dots. This seems like a perfect use case for AI, as it can look through all collected datasets and diagnose a problem much faster than any one doctor. In Butte's opinion, we are probably a decade or so away from using AI in this way.
Another issue with the use of AI in healthcare has to do with resistance from the medical industry itself. Earlier this year I attended Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference, which featured a track on the use of AI in healthcare. In one of the session, I heard about how AI could be used to speed up diagnoses in radiology. MRIs often show very small spots that are difficult for the human eye to pick up but that AI would "see" instantly. Graphical processing unit (GPU) technology, which has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past five years, is now low cost and extremely powerful -- and can be a great complement to doctors.
After the session I chatted with the speaker, a doctor from Stanford Medical Center, about why AI isn't being used more for applications like this. Many clinicians fear AI, seeing it as a threat to their professions, he told me. I'd heard the same sentiment from Butte at the IDF conference; many old school doctors refuse to let machines diagnose their patients.
I'm no doctor, but in my opinion professionals in healthcare should view machine learning as another tool that can help diagnose patients faster -- and thus lead to better quality care. Aren't MRI machines, X-rays, heart monitors, and other medical equipment merely tools to aid doctors? How is AI any different?
The fact is, massive amounts of data are being generated, and with the Internet of Things being on the verge of exploding, there will be more. Instead of solely focusing on medical insurance reform, perhaps our government could focus on figuring out how to use technology to improve healthcare. We live in a world in which everything is connected, and that's allowing us to have self-driving cars, find spouses using data (I met Christine on e-Harmony), and have music recommended to us. Shouldn't the same technology that does all of these things be used so people don't need to be sick for years before someone tells them what's wrong?
If you're interested in Christine's story, you can view it below. And, if you'd like to make a donation to the good folks at the Immune Deficiency Foundation, you can do that here.
