text: While the deaf and hard of hearing communities and the special education world in general have debated the meaning and reach of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for more than 30 years, it is beyond contention that when provided appropriate language learning and academic opportunities deaf and hard of hearing children can and do attain high levels of achievement. The population of deaf and hard of hearing children is diverse, and their needs for access to language and communication are diverse as well. These include access to American Sign Language and English and communication through sign language, spoken language, sign and voice, visual technology, auditory technology, and other supports and services. When access is not provided, children fall behind in linguistic and cognitive growth and ultimately educational achievement. Support for each child's language and communication development is the key to the child's success.

We picked up our official first premium boxed share on Tuesday: strawberries, bok choi, collards, spinach, kale, lettuce, salad mix and swiss chard. Everything was super fresh, with bright, green, crispy leaves. And unlike the strawberries you buy at the grocery store, each container was filled with perfect, firm and sweet strawberries with no random fuzzy moldy ones hiding in the box.
The Boxed Share program has had an unusual number of setbacks for us this season. Our former driver, Chino, got married during the “off” season and decided to remain in Texas with his bride. After several rounds of interviews, we narrowed the field of replacement drivers to two, who accepted our offers but then decided not to report to work. Farmer Jim is now our delivery truck driver for the time being, but we are seeking to hire two professional drivers on a part-time, seasonal basis.
I wish they had just said this earlier! It appeared (I don't know if this is true) but people with on-farm shares were picking up boxes before the boxed shares. If this was the reason, then be transparent. Tell everyone what is happening, we are supposed to be in this together. That's the whole point of a CSA. Maybe they could have offered people the opportunity to pick up on site until the situation was resolved. There were definitely better ways to handle this, but hopefully moving forward, they will continue to keep everyone better informed.
They mentioned that this unusually wet weather has delayed the transplanting of some summer crops. I already knew about the tomatoes from their Facebook post, so I was prepared for this news. Again, I was totally cool with it, because they told everyone ahead of time.
They also said the strawberry quantities were slowing down (we got 6 quarts with our Premium share last week, this week we'll get 3 quarts) and that blueberries won't be ready until June to early July. I wonder what that means in terms of PYO (pick your own) for the weeks in between. Again, a head's up to what the plan is would be nice.
So far I'm happy with what I've gotten. I'm not happy that it seems on-farm pickup people got more benefits from joining the CSA than boxed share people. I'm not happy that Chesterfield seems to have started earlier and are giving out a greater variety of produce than Pennington. I am happy they are starting to be a little more clear with what's going on with the program, and I hope they start to understand the importance of that. I'll bump their grade from a C to a B-.

One of sci-fi's most beloved actors, best known for her role in Star Wars as Princess Leia Organa, has died. On Thursday, at the age of 60, Carrie Fisher passed away. (Family spokesman Simon Halls confirmed the death via People.) As we mourn the passing of the talented actor, writer, and outspoken feminist, memories of Fisher's witty, self-effacing nature will surface, but there's one quote in particular that highlights her brilliance. It's a quote about Leia's iconic gold bikini. Anyone even remotely aware of Star Wars' existence has either seen, heard, or fantasized about the costume. Despite the fact that Leia was a seminal sci-fi character, the actress has been fielding questions about her sartorial choices for decades.
In a 2015 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Fisher was asked about the two piece from Return of the Jedi. Specifically, what her opinion was on banning merchandise that featured Leia in the get-up. Her response was a take back on the incessant critiquing of Leia's clothes — or lack thereof. She said, "To the father who flipped out about it, 'What am I going to tell my kid about why she’s in that outfit?' Tell them that a giant slug captured me and forced me to wear that stupid outfit, and then I killed him because I didn’t like it. And then I took it off. Backstage."
The ongoing backlash about Leia's famous gold 'kini resurfaced after Fisher interviewed Daisy Ridley for Interview magazine. She told her "Don't be a slave like I was" and "You keep fighting against that slave outfit." Knowing Fisher's tongue-in-cheek, candid interview style — and given the casual manner of the interview — the quotes weren't meant to be taken so seriously.
Leia might have been over-sexualized by the marketing of the film, the media, and the Ross Gellers of the world, but that doesn't change Leia's story. The story wherein she killed Jabba and saved herself. She wasn't the "nearly naked damsel in distress" that some people seem to remember her by. It was more complex than that. She was more complex than that.
Less than a few weeks ago, the Star Wars standalone film, Rogue One, starring Felicity Jones premiered. Before that, Star Wars: The Force Awakens starring Daisy Ridley hit theaters. Both films featured a strong female lead. Though neither of them ever donned a gold bikini, their characters were fearless and autonomous. It's fair to assume that they might not have been given these opportunities if it wasn't for Fisher's Leia. Because of Fisher, women in sci-fi are allotted the ability to take their "stupid outfits" off. Or never put them on in the first place.
If you look closely, the truth is clear. Fisher and Leia were never slaves. They were revolutionaries.

Can an Instructables Member Make Classes?
Hello, I'm part of a company that does a lot of stuff that customers would ask questions about, and I was wondering if it is an option to make classes on Instructables or if that was a potential consideration from your end. I would find it useful, even if it was limited to a Pro membership. It's something that I think personally my company would consider paying for. I would even consider it individually. The ability to make classes that people would want to learn would be invaluable. Of course the only question would be is if others feel the same way I do. If this is already a feature that I can take part in, let me know, as I'm not currently aware of any way to access it, and I don't want to pay for a Pro membership unless I know for certain that that's a feature that would come with it. I would appreciate any answers you can give on this topic. Thank you, and hope you're all having a pleasant day.
The creation of formal classes (https://www.instructables.com/classes/) is currently limited to a handful of staff that work for the site.
Alright, thanks for the help in this regard!

But I remembered that maybe later we can play a few good songs, Charvel at musicians friend reminded me that. I play music once in awhile at home because there are some loud neighbors from time to time and music helps me to relax.
I guess the same goes for others, quiet weekends are no fun too – it’s like being in a ghost town!

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution contains many of the fundamental rights guaranteed to every citizen and which are essential for self-governance. This amendment protects free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the right to peaceably assemble, and the right to petition government for redress of grievances.

Are you planning on taking a camping trip in the near future? If this is your first time going camping, you will need to get camping gear to take with you, as you may not already own it. While your first impulse may be to head on down to your local sports store, did you know that you have another option as well? You do. In addition to buying your own camping gear, you may also be able to rent it. When it comes to determining whether you should buy your own camping gear or just rent the camping gear that you need, you may have a difficult time deciding what to do. If you are wondering what you should do, you will want to continue reading on. Below, the pros and cons of both buying your own camping gear and renting your camping gear are outlined.
As for buying your own camping gear, you will find that the biggest con or downside to doing so is the cost. Depending on what you need to buy, it can get pretty expensive to purchase your own camping gear. With that in mind though, there are a number of camping gear equipment pieces, like camping tents or sleeping bags, that can be purchased for affordable prices. If you are looking to camp on a budget, you can still buy your own camping gear, but you just need to know where to look. Although there are a number of downsides, like the price, to buying your own camping gear, you will also find that there are a number of pros or plus sides to doing so as well.
One of those plus sides is the fact that you will own the camping gear in question. This means that you can use it as little or as often as you would like. If you are planning to take a number of camping trips in the future, you will find that it is easier, as well as cheaper in the long run, to buy your own camping gear. It is also important to mention the freedom that you have, when buying your own camping gear. When buying your own camping gear, you can buy basically whatever you want. For instance, if you would like a camping tent that is the color black, you are free to do so. When you buy your own camping gear, you have the ability to be picky if you want to be. With a large selection of camping gear pieces to choose from, from a number of different retailers, the decision as to what you want to buy is yours to make. If you are unable to buy your own camping gear or if you would prefer not you, your other option is to rent your camping gear. When it comes to renting camping gear, you will also find a number of pros and cons.
As for the cons of renting your camping gear, you may find that you are faced with a limited selection of camping gear pieces to choose from. Many camping gear rental stations only carry the basic items, like tents, hot plates, and coolers. While you may have some choices, you will mostly find that your selection is limited. As for the pros or plus sides to renting your camping gear, instead of buying it, you will find that the cost is much more affordable. Despite being relatively affordable, different camping gear rental stations charge different rental fees. You will also find that camping gear can typically be rented for as little as one day or as long as a couple of weeks. Renting your camping gear is nice if this is your first time going camping and if you are unsure as to whether or not you would be interested in doing so again. As you can see, there are a number of pros and cons to both buying your own camping gear and renting it. In addition to the two above mentioned options, you may also want to think about borrowing camping gear from someone that you know. You may even be able to do so free of charge.

If you love iced coffee and you're not already brewing your own, you need to invest in a French press and start making your own cold brew. It is so insanely easy. You don't need a lot of time or fancy equipment. Plus, it's a lot cheaper to invest in a French press than it is to buy a cup of iced coffee every day.
I started making cold brew a year ago, and it's been a lifesaver. I can roll out of bed and pour myself a glass of cold brew (with milk). I don't have to get dressed, walk to the coffee shop, order coffee (interacting with people in the morning is hard), and then pay. Here's how to make cold brew coffee in a French press.
Wishing you could duplicate that icy cup of cold brew your favorite coffee shop serves up?
Good news: you don’t need to be a trained barista to master this skill.
All you need is a few basics to get started.
Even better: Dynamite Coffee in Cape Girardeau gave Heartland Weekend three tips to success.
What ever happened to plain old ice coffee? Cold brew.
We are too fancy for iced coffee anymore. Now we drink cold-brew, the magical caffeinated elixir that is suddenly everywhere, from your fussy, independent coffee shop to the most proletarian of Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s the drink of young people. It’s the drink of summer.
“It’s iced coffee taken seriously, rather than iced coffee as an afterthought,” said Peter Giuliano, senior director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America.
It’s getting to be the season for iced coffee in the northern hemisphere, and there are a dizzying array of methods to prepare it.
Last summer marked the year that “cold brew” coffee—a method that steeps coffee grounds for many hours with cold or room temperature water—went mainstream. Cold brew, which has a smoother, less bitter taste, represented a radical improvement in summer-appropriate coffee.
But iced coffee lovers, there is a better way.
ortland, Oregon–based roaster Stumptown is a champion of cold coffee. In addition to bottling its signature cold brew, Stumptown offers nitrogenated cans ($5), milk-topped cartons and sparkling coffees. Brent Wolczynski holds the title of cold brew production manager at Stumptown and is responsible for quality control just as much as product development. In other words, he knows cold brewing techniques better than just about anyone.
While, in theory, cold brew can be made by soaking coffee grounds in a bowl with water and straining the liquid through a coffee filter or cheesecloth, Wolczynski recommends the Filtron system ($38). “The wool filter does a great job of making a clean cup with little sediment,” he says. “But if you don’t have one at home, you can also steep coffee in a French press and pour what you’ve pressed through a paper filter to polish it off.
Serving Cold: Mix 1-part Cold Brew concentrate with an equal amount of H2O, add ice, milk and sugar as desired and shake, not stir. Pour into a frozen glass with fresh ice, a shot of Napoleon Brandy is optional.
On a hot summers day there’s nothing quite like a nice, cold … coffee?
Although Cold Brew Coffee isn’t exactly a new innovation, in the last few years interest in the drink has really taken off, especially in North America, where they even have a National Cold Brew day*! Cold Brew Coffee is not quite as popular here in the UK, yet …however, it has certainly been getting a lot of attention recently; so what exactly is Cold Brew, and what makes it different?
First of all, it’s important to recognise that Cold Brew is not the same as ‘iced coffee’ or a blended cold coffee drink; to make a Cold Brew, we’re not just adding ice to the coffee! Cold Brew Coffee involves a different extraction method, this significantly alters the taste of the coffee when compared to the flavours we would get if we brewed the same coffee with heat.
Preparing a Cold Brew is a much slower process than brewing a normal coffee because we don’t have the heat to help us move things along as quickly.

It almost seemed the higher Lacey Sims hoisted her goat’s neck in the sale ring at the Ellis County Youth Expo, the higher the bids rose. And, when the sale went final, Sims was overcome with excitement.
Little did Sims know, however, that a group of local businesswomen had already "scouted" her throughout the week and were even more excited to support her future endeavors.
Sims is a junior at Midlothian High School and received $3,500 for her 95-pound Boer goat that placed second in its class. As she entered the sale ring, Amber Huckabee announced Sims, who has participated in FFA for four years, aspires to become an emergency nurse.
Sims said her time in the FFA has allowed her to learn time management and accountability by caring for another living thing. She has also grown as a person, while the responsibility has taught her to handle stress and pressure.
Sims dedicated at least two hours a day to her goat but still plans to work with humans in her future career.
Her mother is a labor-and-delivery nurse and Sims said she wants to fulfill the legacy as a student at Tarleton State University.
The Ellis County Women in Business, founded in 2018, was established to strengthen the bonds of local businesswomen. This was the second year for the ECWB to bid on livestock raised by female Ellis County students. Last year, the group focused on pigs with the project, "Bring Home the Bacon." They then decided to mix things up with this year's tagline, "All Goats, All Glory."
ECWB founding member Tara Yarbrough served as the official bidder and spent countless hours throughout the week at the youth expo getting to know the female participants.
“I was there all week, and I was in the back watching for things like, are the girls taking care of their goats or are their parents, are they being kind, are they participating out and about,” Yarbrough explained.
Yarbrough said the group strategized carefully and purchased three goats at the sale, which included Sims, Ryleigh Duran from Maypearl High and Norah Pacheco from Midlothian High.
The ECWB contributed a total of $9,000 during the sale and $4,000 on goats that did not make the sale. An additional four scholarships were set aside, each for $1,000.
A total of eight goats that did not make sale were also purchased above floor price from hard working girls, which included Kathlyn Smith from Waxahachie High, Mikayla Rushing from Red Oak High, Ashley Barrett from Midlothian High, Kayleigh Smith from Midlothian Heritage High, Kyal Brown from Waxahachie High, Katie Waddle from Palmer High, Jadiro Nino from Ennis High and Courtney Craig from Midlothian High.
Yarbrough explained it takes about $1,600 for each student to purchase a goat and feed it along the way. Therefore, it was essential to at least contribute $2,000 to each girl in the sale ring.
The ECWB members also hosted two sessions of goat yoga on March 23. The goats were provided by Cathy Altman, and the lessons were instructed by founding member and vice president of mentoring, Dionne Zschiesche.
Before the goats were shown on Tuesday, members of the organization gathered for a tailgate to socialize with young female participants. This event was organized by founding member Amber Caverly.
The group of women also volunteered at the Bloody Mary bar on sale day Saturday morning and crafted drinks for the buyers.

Interesting information From Discovery News this week about the discovery of new species documented in Borneo, Africa and Madagascar! Read on.
** In Borneo — “Three new species of venomous, two-tongued primates have recently been identified. All represent different types of slow loris, a nocturnal animal with big eyes, a teddy bear face and a deadly bite.
“The primates, described in the American Journal of Primatology, had originally been grouped with another known slow loris, Nycticebus menegensis. This original, single species contained animals with significantly different features, lead author Rachel Munds, a University of Missouri doctoral student in anthropology, told Discovery News.
Researchers from the United States and Slovenia have discovered a new, giant Nephila species (golden orb weaver spider) from Africa and Madagascar and have published their findings in the Oct. 21 issue of the journal PLoS ONE.
“Matjaž Kuntner, chair of the Institute of Biology of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and a Smithsonian research associate, along with Jonathan Coddington, senior scientist and curator of arachnids and myriapods in the Department of Entomology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, also reconstructed size evolution in the family Nephilidae to show that this new species, on average, is the largest orb weaver known.
“Only the females are giants with a body length of 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) and a leg span of 4 – 5 inches (10 – 12 centimeters); the males are tiny by comparison.
“More than 41,000 spider species are known to science with about 400 – 500 new species added each year. But for some well-known groups, such as the giant golden orb weavers, the last valid described species dates back to the 19th century.

Celtic star Leigh Griffiths has penned a new deal which will keep him with the Ladbrokes champions until 2022.
The Scotland international recently reached 100 goals for the club with a strike against Lithuanian side FK Suduva and signed the four-year contract after extensive talks with the club.
“I’m over the moon,” he told Celtic TV. “It’s been a long time coming, talks have been ongoing for a while and I’m glad to get it over the line.
“The main aim is to be here for as long as I can, and for Celtic to have shown that faith in me to sign me for another four years makes me ecstatic.
“From the moment I walked in the door here, this is where I wanted to be for the rest of my life. I’ve been here for three-and-a-half years already and to sign another four-year deal is great. I can’t wait for the future.
The 28-year-old has now set his sights on further cementing his place in Celtic folklore by helping the team to win ten successive league titles.
He said: “I’m here for the 10-in-a-row bid, but my main focus now is trying to get in the team and stay as fit as possible. I’ve hit the 100 now and I want to try and continue that and aim for greater heights.
“There’s been a lot of high and some lows, but more highs than lows. Hopefully there’s more highs to come.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare a 6 cast iron skillet, small baking dish, or two or three ramekins by greasing with a bit of coconut oil and setting on a baking sheet.In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and tapioca flour. Stir to combine.
Pour the fruit into the prepared pans, dividing evenly if using more than one ramekin. Dollop the almond butter on top, and toss gently to mix it in just slightly.In a different bowl, combine the ghee, almond butter, coconut flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Mix until smooth and then crumble over the strawberry mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the strawberries are bubbling and the crumble is firm and lightly browned.
Serve with whipped coconut cream and a drizzle of almond butter.
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are my top picks for Crisp. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port.

Thomas Goodwin, The Return of Prayers (1641; Lafayette, Indiana: Sovereign Grace Trust Fund, 1990), in vol. 4 of Soul-Winning Classics, pp. 709-741.
The big question is (and the one I was looking for an answer to): how do we discern between answers to prayer and events that come about by ordinary providence? Things obtained through common providence come with thorns, or vexations; what comes by prayer is less thorny, because the curse is taken out (p. 732.) Things granted through ordinary providence increase our lusts; answers to prayer cause us to mourn over sin and to rejoice in God more than in what he granted (p. 731.) “Prayer and thanks are like the double motion of the lungs; the air that is sucked in by prayer is then breathed forth again by thanks” (p. 731.) If your prayers and blessings result in thankfulness to God, it may be that what you are granted (provided you prayed to receive it) issues from a return of prayer, not just from providence, which even the enemies of God have a stake in.
Things petitioned for by me seem to have been denied more than granted. If your case is like that, these two facts are two thoughts to treasure up: (1) “It moves God to see His children take repulses and denials well” (p. 737); (2) “When prayers are answered, mercies usually come thick and fast” (p. 728.) Goodwin seems to speak from experience here.

Planning: planning before 15 or 10 days of #shifting about how much is your budget, estimate expenditure for the shifting, how much labour you #need, and of what type like for electronics item you will need skilled labour's. For #transportation you will need track. What type of #packing material you will need for glass wares you need spongy kind of materials like bubble wrap, sponge and thermocol ball.
Formation & Evaluating the plans : segregate your household goods into categories, put similar goods together, make a group ,now for delicate goods like glass set ,dinning set etc. decide in what type material you want for #packing them this kind of goods need extra care so you can choose bubble wrap.

The Remington 700 VTR—The Tacti-Coolest Yet!
Thanks for your phone call today asking for my opinion and background on concealed carry of handguns on college campuses. Representative Ernest Wooton’s bill to allow such recently passed out of committee, and is due to be considered soon by the full Louisiana House.
I appreciate your trying to find out more about the subject, and I appreciate your calling me. As the senior instructor of state-certified concealed handgun courses in Louisiana, the author of numerous articles and one book (“The Great New Orleans Gun Grab”) on firearms ownership, I have some definite opinions on allowing concealed carry on college campuses.
You will likely hear from dozens of administrators and some law enforcement that it would be a mistake to allow concealed carry on college campuses. I disagree with them for a number of reasons, but first, let me tell you a couple of stories and quote some statistics.
The media trumpets to the heavens every time a youth uses a gun to kill another person in one of our schools. Unfortunately, the opposite is not true.
Have you ever heard what happened on Wednesday, January 16, 2002 at the Appalachian School of Law at Grundy, Virginia?
It’s a small, private, and highly respected school of law that has gained quite a bit of notoriety because of the actions of a foreign student.
His name was Peter Odighizuwa, a Nigerian and naturalized U.S. Citizen who had flunked out of the school in 2001, but had been allowed to come back in and change his academic course. On the day in question, the 42-year-old Odighizuwa was due to speak with L. Anthony Sutin, Dean of the school about his grades—Odighizuwa had just been dismissed a second time for poor grades.
Odighizuwa had a history of mental instability that was disclosed in a report by the Newport News (VA.) Daily Press.
Odighizuwa spoke first with Professor Dale Rubin when he arrived at campus that morning. Upon leaving Rubin's office, he asked him to pray for him. He then went to the offices of Dean Sutin, and Professor Thomas Blackwell.
Upon arriving at their offices, Odighizuwa drew a .380 caliber pistol and shot both these respected college educators to death.
He then went downstairs and opened fire in a common area, hitting a student, Angela Denice Dales, killing her.
He fired three more shots, wounding students Stacy Beans, 22, of Berea, Kentucky; Rebecca Brown, 38, of Roanoke, and Martha Madeline Short, 37, of Grundy.
He then stopped shooting and went outside as students were diving out of windows and running for cover.
Two students, Tracy Bridges and Mikael Gross, ran to their parked cars and retrieved handguns from them. They then ran back and pointed their guns at Odighizuwa, who quickly dropped his pistol. Another student, Ted Besen, ran up to Odighizuwa who hit him in the face, and then there was a pile on...one of the students with a gun was an off-duty police officer, and Odighizuwa was quickly in handcuffs.
You may not have heard of the incident at the Appalachian School of Law—it was not heavily reported, and there was practically NO mention in the media that students with guns stopped what would have surely been more bloodshed. Most media reports stated that Odighizuwa was “tackled” by a group of students. According to researcher (and college economics professor) Dr. John R. Lott, there were 280 separate news stories (from a computerized Nexis-Lexis search) in the week after the event—and just four stories mentioned the fact that the students that stopped the attack used guns to end it.
Of course. Certainly the national media is not going to publicize a positive intercession by citizens with guns.
But I’ll bet you remember the incident on Wednesday, October 1, 1997 in Pearl, Mississippi. That’s where 16-year-old Luke Woodham murdered his mother the night before by cutting her throat, then showed up at Pearl High School with a .30-30 caliber rifle.
He opened fire on his former girlfriend, Christina Menefee and her friend Lydia Dew, killing them instantly. He then swung the rifle around and fired it into a group of students. He ran to the parking lot and climbed into his dead mother’s car—he later stated he intended to drive to a nearby junior high school and kill more students.
Assistant Principal Joel Myrick, a shooter, and a member of the National Guard, ran to his car and retrieved his .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun, loaded it, and rushed to intercept Woodham who was by that time behind the wheel of his car. When Myrick pointed his handgun at Woodham, the student tried to drive around another vehicle and crashed into a tree. Myrick ran up and pointed his gun at Woodham, ordered him out of the car, and held him on the ground at gunpoint until the police arrived.
There was little media reporting of the fact that Myrick stopped what was sure to be further carnage with the use of his own handgun—I guess we are to assume he ran up to Woodham, pointed his finger at him, ordered him to stop, and Woodham meekly complied.
Finally, I know you remember the horrible incident which occurred on Monday, April 16, 2007 at Virginian Tech University at Blacksburg, Virginia.
Korean-born Seung-Hui Cho took a 9mm Glock pistol and a .22 caliber Walther pistol and went on a murderous rampage —the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, murdering 32 students and instructors before taking his own life.
The first thing Cho did was shoot two students to death in a dormitory. He then showed up at Norris Hall, a classroom building, where he chained the doors shut, walked up to the second floor, and began rushing from room to room, shooting at will. In all, he wounded 60 people, killing 30 of them. Police believe he fired more than 170 rounds in this attack. He had two 32-round replacement magazines for the Glock, and a large number of spare magazines.
Among the victims were five college professors, including Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor who blocked the door of his classroom to give his students time to escape through the windows. Cho shot him five times, killing him.
There were 11 dead students in Room 211—this is where Cho eventually took his own life. There were nine dead in Room 206. There were four killed in Room 2007, and another died in Room 204. More died later.
Enough. You get the picture. Possible mass slayings are averted or lessened because someone produced a handgun and stopped the killing. Where none are present in these “Victim Disarmament Zones,” dozens die needlessly.
No amount of law, statutes, or regulations are going to keep a madman from going where guns are least likely to be used against them and killing people. Yet, administrators seem to feel that allowing a small number of well-trained adults who have undergone extensive criminal and mental background checks to carry concealed on campus will result in some sort of Armageddon, where students will go crazy and start shooting everyone.
Need I point out that if such a person is going to submit to such violent tendencies, the fact he is breaking the law by having a gun on campus is going to do little to deter him.
But I ask if only ONE student had been able to produce a handgun and engage Cho on Monday, April 16, 2007 inside Norris Hall, how many innocent lives might have been saved?
That quote comes from “America Fights Back—Armed Self-Defense in a Violent Age,” an excellent book by Alan Gottlieb, Director of the Second Amendment Foundation, and Dave Workman, Editor of “The New Gun Week,” a weekly newsmagazine on firearms, sport shooting, and politics. I count both of these gentlemen as personal friends, and much of the information stated here has been gleaned from their book, writings by Professor Lott, and by Dr. Gary Kleck, a criminology professor at Florida State University.
1. Allowing students to carry guns will only result in shootings and bloodshed on campuses.
This is the same argument that has been produced in every state (now about 40) where shall-issue concealed carry laws have been proposed. This is a fallacy that has been proven wrong over and over again—Professor Lott has found that mass public shootings declined by 85%, and injuries fell 82 per cent in the 14 states that adopted shall-issue carry laws between 1977 and 1995.
Professor Gary Kleck, in his book “Point Blank—Guns and Violence In America,” found that guns are used over 2.5 MILLION times a year to stop crimes from occurring—and only in a miniscule number of those cases is the gun actually discharged. Incidentally, Dr. Kleck’s methodology has never been disproved in this study—it is generally accepted as a watershed study in the use of guns and violence in the United States.
2. The students will more likely shoot each other, than a gunman.
As I have told you before, my daughter is currently a college student. If a crazed shooter opened up in her dorm, classroom, or a campus building she was in, I would take that chance, and prefer someone in the building had taken a Louisiana Concealed Handgun Permit Course, was licensed by the state to carry, and had a gun which which to stop the killings. I’ll take the chance he/she might accidentally shoot my beloved daughter. Rather that chance, than her more certain death by an assassin in a gun-free zone.
Incidentally, she is over 21 years of age, has her own permit, knows how to shoot, and when to shoot. And if you were ever someplace where someone opened up with a gun, killing people indiscriminately, you would be most glad she had her revolver...she won’t shoot anyone else accidentally, and she won’t be afraid to stop someone from shooting others. She is trained, competent, and cool-headed.
3. The police, upon arriving, won’t know the difference between the shooters and the students—and might shoot a student.
Give me a break. I worked for 25 years as a reserve law enforcement officer. I came on scenes where citizens had guns and were holding other people—lawbreakers—at bay. It happened to me once—dressed in plain clothes, I stopped a crime from occurring in another jurisdiction. Holding a lawbreaker on the ground, pointing a .38 Special revolver at his back, I had the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office roll up on the scene, and they leveled their guns at me until I put mine down, and convinced them which of us was the bad guy. I never shot anyone in such a case, and never knew another law enforcement officer that did, either. It might be unnerving at first, we might have pointed guns at them until they put them down, but we worked it out quickly. I think this is a red herring here.
From 1987 to 1995, the state of Florida issued almost 315,000 concealed carry permits. In that eight-year time frame, the state of Florida rescinded a sum total of 54 permits from permit holders for illegal activities with a gun.
Louisiana now has almost 40,000 concealed carry permit holders—a far cry from the approximately half-million over in Texas—mainly because we have always considered the vehicle an extension of the home, and allowed citizens to carry their guns in their cars.
I think you can call the Louisiana State Police Concealed Permit Section and they can give you the same statistics for our state. You will find the numbers of permits rescinded to be correspondingly low. Statistically across the nation, concealed carry permit holders are the most law-abiding subsection of our citizenry you can find—folks that undergo the training and get the permits don’t commit the crimes.
Should we allow concealed carry on campus?
Absolutely. I don’t understand the reasoning against it. By denying it, you are saying that reasoned, thinking adults, which the state has determined can legally carry, cannot do so on campus—but they can practically everywhere else, where nothing has occurred. The people arguing against this are saying adult college students are likely to go berserk and start shooting one another.
I would point out here that the Louisiana State Police conduct an extensive and thorough background check on every applicant—mental, criminal, every aspect of a person’s background is evaluated before the permit is issued. And the training is equally thorough and extensive, requiring hours of shooting time, lectures on safe use of handguns, use of deadly force, and child-access prevention.
Allow concealed carry on campuses? Why has it ever been denied in the first place?
Thanks for taking the time to inquire about this upcoming legislation. I hope I haven’t dragged it out too long for you—but you said you wanted to gain some facts and figures on the subject, to be able to make up your mind on the subject. I appreciate your keeping your promise to call me for background when the legislation came up. You are a man of your word, and I appreciate that.
Across the green hills, cobbled with white gravestones, a rolling thunder reaches into our souls.
Nineteen times the cannon speaks, a hollow boom hidden in the solemn recesses of Arlington.
The sign posted at the entrance as you enter the nation's cemetary for its war dead says it eloquently, its message poignant, stating there must be no bike riding, no children playing, no picknicking. "Please respect the sanctity of any funeral you see occurring...This is Hallowed Ground."
We are on a whirlwind tour of Washington, D.C. We have toured all the memorials: Jefferson, Lincoln, Vietnam, Korea, Iwo Jima. We have ended up, Memorial Day morning, on the steps of the amphitheater, overlooking the Tomb of the Unknowns. My wife Ti Lou, Greg and Peggy Vidrine, and most importantly my 15-year-old daughter, Jessica, have come to the nation's Capitol on this most sacred of weekends to see all the tourist things. But more than that, I want Jessica to understand the meaning of being American, and what hundreds of thousands of men and women have given up that she might live the life she lives--blonde, carefree, imbued with Britney and Backstreet fever, gabbing on the phone with girlfriends, talking always about boys.
She must understand what it means to be American, that people die across this world envying one simple thing about her--that she lives in and is a citizen of this country.
Every person that has "done" Washington has told us "If you do nothing else, you must see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns..."
Unwittingly, we are here at the most solemn of the Nation's rites--the Laying of the Wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. A full military contingent, representing every branch of the services, and the U.S. Army Band conduct the ceremony. I see tears in my daughter's eyes--it is strange that I can see them through the wetness of my own.
Back in Baton Rouge, I am describing the trip to a friend, Lynn Burgett, who spent some time as a young woman working for the Navy in Washington, D.C.
Lynn was very excited about our trip, even going to her congressman's office and picking up maps and tour guides for us before we left, drawing us an itinerary.
You know, she says, Daddy got the Distinguished Service Cross in World War II.
And that has been my experience, both with personal guns, and the numerous rifles I end up tuning for friends each year.
Sometimes, it might take a little experimenting to find the right bullet, but Remington almost always performs better than adequate, right out of the carton.
When the unusually-configured barrel of the new Remington Model 700 VTR caught my eye, I decided my usual practice of signing for a test gun from the manufacturer wasn’t necessary. Experience proved the gun would shoot. And the features Remington built into this bolt gun intrigued me.
First off was that barrel. Talk about stand out on a gun rack--who ever saw a triangular-shaped barrel before? And it was the right length, too—just 22 inches.
The VTR stands for “Varmint Tactical Rifle” which falls into the ever-growing category of “tacti-cool” rifles with standard applications made to look like tactical guns with law enforcement or military uses. Of course, tactical rifles are no-nonsense, utilitarian rifles, spare to the point of Spartan with no unnecessary parts, everything designed for a purpose with no frilly cosmetics.
The new VTR is the long-proven Model 700 action with a patented triangular barrel, a design that offers more rigidity and less weight than a round barrel of equal diameter. With the larger surface area, greater heat dissipation is also claimed. An integral muzzle brake also acts as a protective crown for the rifling, extending past the crown for two inches.
The camo green composite stock has black grips overmolded into the forearm and pistol-grip—and it has two sling swivels on the front end—one for the sling, the other to attach a bipod for the varmint fields.
The gray, almost rough finish on the barrel and receiver is reminiscent of the old military “Parkerized” finish—a handsome, no-nonsense finish that seems to soak up oil, and sheds moisture with equal aplomb.
Since I’ve been planning a varmint hunt for prairie dogs this summer, I intended to build a rifle to take with me—in either .223 Remington, or .22-250 Remington. Once I spotted the VTR, knowing from experience it would shoot, the decision was made, and I ordered one.
After a lot of discussion with friends, some of whom have actually made prairie dog hunts, I settled on one of the icons in the long-range varmint fraternity, the classic .22-250, standardized by Remington in 1965.
Long considered one of the most accurate, easily adapted cartridges around, the .22-250 is known by old-time shooters by the nickname “.22 Varminter”—which gives you an idea of the status the cartridge holds in those ranks. I had never owned one, but the history of the cartridge, that it was developed by necking down the old .250 Savage centerfire deer cartridge, and its proven ability as a super long-range, accurate round all intrigued me, and I started buying different weight bullets in anticipation of its arrival.
Lord, save me from lawyers, litigious societies, and heavy rifle triggers. I took what was offered.
I have to say, the gunsmith did an excellent job—we put a trigger-pull gauge on it after it came back, and found little creep and a crisp break right at the specified weight—I’ll live with it.
At the same time, I had them mount a nice 4-16X50 Alpen scope (http://www.alpenoptics.com) with an adjustable objective on high mounts, and I was in business. I could hardly wait to start testing loads and seasoning the barrel.
My normal practice with a new rifle is to buy an array of factory rounds and shoot them, scrubbing the barrel with Butch’s Bore Shine, or other copper solvent after each two or three shots for about 20 rounds. Then I go to cleaning after 5-6 rounds for another 20 or so, then after every 10 rounds for another 20.
Besides gaining brass to work up loads, I am breaking in the barrel and at the same time determining if the rifle has an inherent accuracy that can be enhanced by reloading and finding the perfect combination.
At first, the rifle frustrated me. It would shoot slightly above minute-of-angle (one inch) in a three or five-shot group, then climb out to almost two inches—which was rapidly determined to be cleaning-related. If I let it go past five or six shots without a good scrubbing, the groups widened considerably. This didn’t make sense as friends familiar with the caliber assured me their guns didn’t require excessive cleaning to maintain accuracy.
I also suspected I wasn’t reaching the full potential of the barrel because of bullet weight. Most of the rounds I could find were in the 55 grain or larger sizes—these would require a faster rifling twist for optimum accuracy. So I called the factory, and asked to speak to an engineer or someone in the sales department.
I was given the number of John Fink, who turned out to be the project manager on the VTR. I couldn’t have done better if I tried.
John told me the twist rate was 1-in-14. This is the recommended rate for the .22-250 as specified by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers, Inc. (SAAMI). Thus, he told me, the early weights originally designed for the cartridge were probably going to give me better performance. I should begin experimenting with weights in the 45 and 50 grain range, he said.
Talking to John Fink reminded me of the time we took a fisheries biologist down in the brackish Louisiana marsh, fishing for bass, redfish (red drum), and specks (speckled sea trout). We nearly wore the poor guy out asking him questions about the terrain, marsh loss, damage from nutria (a large South American rodent that adapted to our marsh, and is eating it away), and everything else we had been questioning for years. An expert is a great thing to have along when you are practising your favorite hobbies.
I had the project manager for the Model 700 VTR Bolt on the phone--I wasn't going to let him off without asking the question that has been gnawing at me for years: Just why does Remington insist on putting those two small protusions insided every forearm, supporting the barrel, and ruining what would be a perfectly free-floated barrel?
"We've tried it both ways," he said. "Free-floating the barrel, and using pressure points. We've found in the test results the pressure points actually have an effect on the harmonics of the barrels, and stabilize them. When we remove the pressure points the accuracy actually deteriorates--so we build them into most forearms."
"I've tried it both ways," I said. "I have a Model 7 in 7MM-O8 that I couldn't get past minute-of-angle with any ammo I bought, so I ground the pressure points out, and polished them down. I completely free-floated the barrel."
"Did it do any good," he asked?
"Not much," I admitted. "But the rifle shoots a little under 1 inch at 100 yards with 140 grain Remington Core-Lokt, and I've never bothered to work a load up for it."
My daughter uses it every season, and she doesn't need any better than that anyway. Until I get the Buck Fever out of her, it won't matter if she can drill one-hole groups, or shoot one inch. If it's a doe, she slays them, even out to 200 yards.
But a buck can walk out at 75 yards broadside, and Jessica will shake herself until her fillings fall out.
After talking to John Fink, I decided maybe the factory guys actually do apply some science to manufacturing these rifles, and decided to leave the pressure points in the injection-molded stock. I had found the same features in the laminated stock on my Remington Guide Rifle in .300 SAUM, and it shoots 150 grain factory loads in under an inch. I guess I need to quit second-guessing the experts.
I don’t know if the 80 rounds or so of factory ammo had finally done its job, polishing the bore and filling the microscopic imperfections with copper shavings, thus making a perfectly smooth tube, but suddenly, the rifle came alive for me.
Hornady V-Max ammo in 50 grains with a ballistic tip claimed 3800 fps, and gave up a five-shot group that measured 1 1/8” at 100 yards. But that was one flyer. Four of the five were touching, and printed inside of 5/8”!
I’ve always found you can go buy the most expensive ammunition on the market, and a Remington rifle seems to have a natural affinity for Remington ammo—don’t ask me why. This rifle proved no exception, and bulk-purchase 40 round boxes of 50-grain Jacketed Hollow Points (JHP) consistently fired 5-shot groups that grouped inside 7/8”.
An early 3-shot group of Winchester 45 grain JHP gave an exciting 5/8” group, but a later group fired around the time of the Hornady and Remington light-weights was very disappointing. I suspect either wind, or barrel fouling.
After over 120 rounds fired through the barrel, I’ve reached the point my friends told me about. Now, a quick swab with a dry patch is all the barrel seems to need when the groups seem to be growing. They tighten right back up, if I do my job.
I’m most pleased with my new “tacti-cool” rifle and caliber—it should prove to be an affordable and really accurate sniper rifle on prairie dogs out past 300 yards.
Now I’m hitting the reloading bench to tighten those groups into the proverbial “one-hole” for which this caliber is famous.
Then, on to the varmint fields for the ultimate test—I’m sure I’ll be telling you about that hunt before the summer’s over.

As parents, we’re told that we’re our kids’ first teachers. It’s true, but to me, this conjures up the idea that we must stand over their shoulders with a red pen, telling them they exactly what to learn, and how. To better support their natural inquisitiveness, it can help to instead think of yourself as a librarian.
In a blog post, author Austin Kleon dived into the work of the late John Holt, a pioneer in the unschooling movement and one who believed that if we as adults want our children to go further, we should mostly step out of the way. Kleon highlighted this passage from Holt’s classic book How Children Learn, which was first published in 1967.
Each new thing they learn makes them aware of other new things to be learned. Their curiosity grows by what it feeds on. Our task is to keep it well supplied with food. … Keeping their curiosity “well supplied with food” doesn’t mean feeding them, or telling them what they have to feed themselves. It means putting within their reach the widest possible variety and quantity of good food—like taking them to a supermarket with no junk food in it (if we can imagine such a thing).
This job, as Kleon notes, is similar to that of a librarian. And as someone who spends a lot of time in libraries, I like the comparison. Librarians don’t tell you what you should be reading, or hover over you to make sure you’re on track. They do, however, stay in the cultural conversation, give you access to a diverse array of material, and help you follow your interests, whatever they might be (say, ventriloquism or taxidermy or record stores in Tokyo).
To parent your children like a librarian, you might display books (or other interesting items) face-out, encourage their curiosities (“If you’re into pinball, you might also like Rube Goldberg machines or the inventions of Galileo”), and make a decision to not answer their every question but instead help them figure out the steps to find the information on their own. Then simply stand back and let them try to figure out how the world works at their own pace.

As RocksDB is write-optimized I'd expected MyRocks to be significantly faster than InnoDB in write-heavy tests.
Most writes (update, delete, insert) in SQL are read-modify-write (RMW) -- secondary index maintenance, enforcement of unique and PK constraints. InnoDB makes the read part of that faster. Write-optimized will make the write side more efficient (from a storage perspective) and sometimes faster. Running this on slower storage might make the write-optimizations more important and favor MyRocks, but the storage in this case was fast.
MyRocks was faster for update-index because non-unique secondary index maintenance is read-free, so in that case write-optimized helps on the read side of RMW.
I have shared results in the past and will again that show where MyRocks is able to sustain higher write rates. The insert benchmark is one example. But it doesn't make all write-heavy workloads faster.

The “survival of the world” is at stake if Muslims and Christians do not make peace with each other, leaders of the Muslim world will warn the Pope and other Christian leaders today.
In an unprecedented open letter signed by 138 leading scholars from every sect of Islam, the Muslims plead with Christian leaders “to come together with us on the common essentials of our two religions” and spell out the similarities between passages of the Bible and the Koran.
The phrasing has echoes of the New Testament passage: “He that is not with me is against me” – a passage used by President George Bush when addressing a joint session of Congress nine days after 9/11.
The Muslims call instead for the emphasis to be on the shared characteristics of world’s two largest faiths.
The letter, addressed to Pope Benedict XVI, to the Orthodox Church’s Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew 1 and all the other Orthodox Patriarchs and to the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams and the leaders of all other Protestant churches worldwide, will be rolled out around the world this morning in a series of press conferences beginning in Jordan. It is supported by the Bishop of London, the Right Rev Richard Chartres.
It is expected to be followed by a joint conference between Muslim and Christian world leaders at on “neutral” ground, such as at a university in America.
“Finding common ground between Muslims and Christians is not simply a matter for polite ecumenical dialogue between selected religious leaders,” the Muslim scholars say, noting that Christians and Muslims make up over a third and a fifth of humanity respectively.
The Muslims even quote passages verbatim from the Bible, extremely rare in a publication of this kind and at this level and an indication of their resolve to bring the two faiths together and end the present tensions between them.
The letter is being sent out today by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Amman, Jordan.
Among those launching the letter in the UK will be two world leading figures in interfaith dialogue Professor David Ford and Aref Ali Nayed.
Professor David Ford is Regius Professor of Divinity, and Fellow of Selwyn College, University of Cambridge. Professor Ford is also the Founding Director of the Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme and led this year’s international inter-faith conference at Lancaster House in June on ‘Islam and Muslims in the World Today’.
Aref Ali Nayed is a leading theologian and senior adviser to the Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme. He is formerly Professor at the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies in Rome, and the International Institute for Islamic Thought and Civilization in Malaysia.
Signatories include Shaykh Sevki Omarbasic, Grand Mufti of Croatia, Dr Abdul Hamid Othman, adviser to the Prime Minister of Malaysia and Dr Ali Ozak, head of the endowment for Islamic scientific studies in Istanbul, Turkey. They also include Shaykh Dr Nuh Ali Salman Al-Qudah, Grand Mufti of Jordan and Shaykh Dr Ikrima Said Sabri, former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Imam of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In most traditional PLCs you refer to an input by its physical location in the I/O structure. For instance in an Allen-Bradley SLC500 processor, I:4/0 would mean input slot 4 bit 0. You are encouraged to create a descriptive comment for this bit so you can easily see what’s connected to that input.
In these two lines of ladder logic, we use one normally open (N.O.) contact from an Input to energize coil A, and a normally closed (N.C.) contact from the same Input to energize coil B. You might make the assumption that coil A and coil B would never be on simultaneously during the same program scan, but if your PLC has asynchronous inputs, you would be wrong. Since the input scanning is done asynchronously to the program scan, the Input can actually change state between the time when the first rung is solved and the second rung is solved. This is a very insidious problem because it’s very rare for it to happen, but it’s possible. That makes it a potentially very difficult problem to debug.
These features of the ControlLogix/CompactLogix PLCs make the Input Map pattern fairly common. Many PLC programs have a routine at the beginning called “Map Inputs” that take the raw physical input as a contact and use it to drive an internal relay coil. The internal relay coil is then used everywhere else in your program, and the Input itself is only used once, in this one spot.
The Input Map pattern has several other advantages beyond synchronizing your inputs to your program scan. For instance, PLC inputs can and do fail from time to time. Most machines have spare inputs, so rather than replacing the input card (which is expensive and may not be possible if you need to fix it immediately), a technician will typically just move the wire to another input. This means they have to change the logic to use the new input everywhere it’s used in the program. Some inputs are only used once or twice, but some might be used dozens or even hundreds of times (imagine a fault reset button, for instance). If you use the Input Map pattern, you only have to change the program in one place.
Likewise, you can combine the Input Map pattern with the Debounce pattern. If you find that you’re having a problem with contact bounce or electrical noise on an Input, then having the Input Map pattern already in place means you now have a single place to add the Debounce logic without affecting the rest of the program.
Furthermore, on PLCs that support tag names rather than direct memory addresses, you can map the input to a more descriptive tag name than the physical location where the input is connected. You can also map the input to a shorter more compact tag name (like I04.0) which is much easier to fit on a wire label than Local:4:I.Data.0.
Use of this pattern is PLC-specific. For instance, Beckhoff’s TwinCAT PLC software already includes an I/O mapping function, so you map internal variables like MyMachine.MotorRunning to a physical input using their System Manager. Their I/O scan is also synchronous to the program scan, so there are fewer advantages to using the Input Map pattern with Beckhoff TwinCAT systems.
More Patterns of Ladder Logic Programming.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your site is awesome and much appreciated.
I develop on Beckhoff’s TwinCAT 2 and TwinCAT 3 platforms, and I must say that it is very refreshing to see that others are taking the same approaches to problems like IO mapping.
I have developed hardware interface routines which are identical to what you described here. Regardless of whether your IO is updated synchronously or asynchronously, I would argue that this is the best method for handling IO because it scales beautifully as your system grows and changes. It also allows you impose logic on internal IO variables. For example, InternVar = Local:4:I.Data.0 XOR Local:4:I.Data.1; which would effectively bottleneck both hardware inputs before InternVar is set throughout your program. Otherwise, you will need to repeat the same type of logic throughout your program–which makes your program very difficult to change at a later time. In my experience this is not only the smartest way to go, this is the only way to go if your platform allows you to do so.
