Black lives matter. Sure, but BLM is a corrupt destructive organization, and ALL lives (including unborn fetuses) matter.
Women's rights are human rights. Who doesn't believe that?
No human is illegal. Wrong. Humans can commit illegal activities like unapproved immigration.
Science is real. Sure. We all believe in science, but we can't always believe scientists. They can be mistaken or simply lying to maintain funding. In fact the funding sources can and often do have political motives. For example, what scientists would get funds to study errors in climate models that predict global warming?
Love is love. Not according to science. Parental love for children differs from heterosexual love of mates. There are many more flavors of love.
Where is the slogan about meritocracy, freedom of speech, separation of powers, the sanity of the constitution?
Kindness is important but it doesn’t eclipse love or truth as “everything”.

My wife finished her work but can’t find out where the missing glove could be. Turned out the puppy next door knew the answer. The glove is now an orphan.

As part of a global movement to end wartime sexual violence, more than 80 legal, health, and law enforcement leaders from six African countries met in Kampala, Uganda, in late August 2015 for the Missing Peace Practitioners’ Workshop.
The workshop provided a rare opportunity for frontline responders—from Kenya, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and South Sudan—to discuss their work on the ground and to trade the tools and techniques they use to document and prosecute sexual violence and support survivors.

The workshop was a collaboration by the U.S. Institute of Peace, the Human Rights Center at UC Berkeley School of Law, the Uganda Fund, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), and Women in International Security (WIIS).
This trip in china was short and due to health reasons I was very limited to travel eve though I did alot of flying for work. I will be back in 5 months and hope to do more travel.
Casey lost his second top front tooth while I was in the hospital. The new teeth are already coming in...
The man in the wellies came back from surfing, and he was whistling his dog all the time he got changed. Fifteen minutes later and still no dog.
We were just about to leave when a dark spec appeared on a hilltop, hurtled down the steep slope, swam the river, and shook itself dry. The dog then went to the car park and got in the back of the man's van. I do like a happy ending.

Tutti quei pensieri mi travolsero, e la mia testa confusa non riusciva a elaborarli dopo la lunga giornata. La vista mi si offuscò, non mi resi neppure conto di piangere. Non riuscivo a respirare e tremavo tutta. [...] Avevo una voglia matta di uscire, ma non me l'avrebbero permesso.

Jake Behrens is an evangelist and engineer at Apple. Jon Parrott is works is a developer programs engineer at Google. David Demaree is a product manager for Typekit Adobe.
They all work in the the tech industry, and what also unites these three is their unconventional path to their current jobs. None of them have formal training in coding or computer science: Behrens holds a bachelor’s of arts in journalism and advertising; Parrott says he barely graduated high school; and Demaree shares that he went to art school.
The three are among hundreds who took to Twitter this weekend using the hashtag #UnqualifiedForTech, showing that not all tech jobs require relevant credentials, and that great talent often comes from diverse and multi-disciplinary backgrounds.
But the conversation also revealed an unanticipated—and discomforting—trend: many who land jobs without a CS degree (or at least feel comfortable tweeting about it) are white.
The conversation was started by Alice Goldfuss, a site reliability engineer at GitHub with a degree in film. “I was tired of reading about how unqualified the Equifax [Chief Information Security Officer] was due to her music degree,” Goldfuss wrote in an email to EdSurge on why she created the hashtag. “Yes, there was gross misconduct and incompetence at Equifax, but that has nothing to do with her degree… I wanted to stand up for those who have an unconventional path into tech.”
On Sunday, the self-taught programmer tweeted the following:
Hi, I’m a Site Reliability Engineer at a large tech company.
I have a BFA in Film.
Anyone else #unqualifiedfortech?
— Alice Goldfuss (@alicegoldfuss) September 17, 2017
At first the conversation stirred responses from folks like Behrens or Parrot, many who felt empowered to share their non-technical backgrounds.
I’m a Sr Incident Responder at a gaming company. I have a BA in Genetics and French. Took no computer classes in school. #unqualifiedfortech t.co/KPIcTfgmuA

Principal engineer & architect at an awesome tech co with ~250 engineers.
I have two degrees in plant ecology.#unqualifiedfortech
— Brent Miller (@foliosus) September 17, 2017
But it quickly opened up new questions about how privilege intersects with who benefits the most from certain degrees, alternative education providers, or even no formal higher education at all. “I think #UnqualifiedForTech speaks a lot to imposter syndrome and sexism/racism in tech,” Goldfuss shared. “Having a film degree means I never feel qualified to be in a technical role and being a woman means there’s many systemic biases that reaffirm my doubt.”
Other contributors in the thread pointed out that many of those who managed to land a tech job without the expected qualifications were men, white and still held some level of higher education under their belt.
Also worth nothing, I have an associates, a year experience, portfolio and github. If you’re a POC anything short of a bachelors won’t help

What’s missing in #UnqualifiedForTech: social capital of being a white straight dude let people believe your self-teaching was good enough.
— Taber Andrew Bain (@taber) September 18, 2017
When you get a moment, I encourage you to read through the many #unqualifiedfortech responses.
Then realize how many of us are white.
— Alice Goldfuss (@alicegoldfuss) September 18, 2017
“It’s far easier for a white man to get hired without proper credentials than a white woman, due to the ratio of white men with power in tech. And it’s easier for a white woman to get hired than a [person of color], especially women of color,” Goldfuss elaborated in an email. “Breaking into tech without a CS degree isn’t easy, but having the right skin color and gender gives you a leg up.”
tech white dudes rn: “I don’t have a CS degree”
meanwhile women poc gotta have 10x degrees just to get taken srsly

The tweet storm touched at a common debate in the higher-ed community—what degrees or credentials are necessary to land a job in today’s changing work landscape? Goldfuss began her own career working in web support for a marketing company, but began learning Python at night to work towards her next role. After later becoming a software engineer, she then added Linux to her repertoire, again studying by night.
Goldfuss later moved into ops roles site reliability engineering. To get there she says she learned from books, watching videos online, getting help from colleagues “and many late-night mistakes.”
What’s clear from the hashtag—and research—is that Goldfuss is far from alone in that endeavor. A 2016 study by Stack Overflow, an online community and job board for developers, shows 69 percent of developers are self-taught, and less than half have a BA or BS in computer science or a similar field.
Wendy Nather, principal security strategist at the account protection firm Duo Security, told The Washington Post this week that it’s “extremely common” for companies like hers to hire workers coming from nontechnical backgrounds. The article reads: “What these people bring to the job is a way of thinking about problems — and then solving them — that draws on the best of other disciplines.”
Tech Employees Question Credentials, Prerequisites and Privilege With #UnqualifiedForTech published first on ift.tt/2x05DG9
On Monday night, a young woman in our area became missing. She was last seen walking home from work at a restaurant. Posters and emails are flying everywhere. There's a huge police presence, as well.
Soldiers from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon, and the U.S. Army Band, "Pershing's Own" conduct military funeral honors with funeral escort for U.S. Army Pfc. Francis P. Martin in Section 81 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., March 24, 2023. Martin was killed on January 16, 1945, while serving in France during World War II.
From the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) press release:
In January 1945, Martin was assigned to Company D, 1st Battalion, 157th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division. The unit had penetrated the German lines near Reipertswiller, France, which left its flanks open to German forces. On Jan. 16, Martin was on a truck convoy bringing rations to the front lines. The convoy was ambushed, and Martin was not among the men who escaped. Over the next few days, the Germans surrounded the 157th forces, preventing any search for Martin or the recovery of his body. With no evidence in captured German records that he survived the ambush or was held as a prisoner of war, the War Department issued a finding of death on Jan. 17, 1946.
Beginning in 1947, the American Graves Registration Command (AGRC), the organization that searched for and recovered fallen American personnel in the European Theater, searched the area around Reipertswiller, finding 37 unidentified sets of American remains, but it was unable to identify any of them as Martin. He was declared non-recoverable on Oct. 15, 1951.
DPAA historians have been conducting on-going research into Soldiers missing from combat around Reipertswiller, and found that Unknown X-6373 Neuville, buried at Henri-Chappelle American Cemetery, an American Battle Monuments Commission site near Liège, Belgium, could be associated with Martin. X-6373 was disinterred in August 2021 and transferred to the DPAA Laboratory at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, for analysis.
To identify Martin’s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used Y chromosome DNA (Y-STR) and autosomal DNA (auSTR) analysis.
Martin was officially accounted for on June 21, 2022. Erin Alverson, Martin’s granddaughter, received the U.S. flag from Martin’s funeral service.

Open space immediate left of Pavilion Two - used to house the Forensic Mortuary which was demolished during 2003. Dundee University's head of forensic pathology and Amnesty International representative, Professor Derrick Pounder worked from the location for a number of years. Some of Dundee's most infamous murder victims had passed through its doors before it was finally relocated to Dundee City Centre - no physical trace's of the building remain on site although the demolition warrant details can be viewed on Angus Coucil's website.
On the way out of a lecture at what is now the Chazen Museum of Art, I walked by the wall where they memorialize the big donors to the museum. The problem, as we can see, is that there are some people who think they need a few of the characters more than the museum does. ---Sigh--- Other people's children...

I miss him so much that it hurts.
It’s only 1 month since daddy left us, but it feels like he has been gone for a year. I think about daddy every day, all the fun moments we had. I don’t know why daddy is gone, mom says it’s complicated and when daddy calls me we don’t talk about it. I can’t remember exactly where he is, but I know it’s 15.000 miles from here. I can’t wait to see him again and give him a big hug, but I have to wait for long time. When I’m crying mommy says that daddy will be home soon and everything is okay. But I don’t believe her. There are a lot of people who think that my dad can be evil sometimes, but that’s because he’s in pain. Mommy has told me a lot of times that daddy’s leg really hurts. I just think my daddy is cool. Because every time I fall and hurt my leg I start cry, but I have never seen daddy cry. Last time I saw daddy was in the airport, he gave me a hug and promised that he would come back. I’ve never cried that much before. Now I just hope that daddy will come home soon. The best thing about daddy is that he’s funny. He can always make me laugh and forget about the troubles. I hope I can go visit him soon… It’s hard to think that there’s 5 months left. Because I miss him so much that it hurts.
