The Lit-Crit Take: A genre-bending, character-driven, word-burning thriller about politics, love and the haunting pain of memory.
The Pure Plot Pitch: I didn’t know—or care—much about the tight race for governor of New York until someone took a shot at one of the candidates and killed his wife instead. The main suspect, it turns out, was an anti-government crazy (and a devoted quilter—yes, you heard that right) who once did time with me. So suddenly I’m trying to track him down, getting sucked into the panicky heart of a closely fought election campaign, into an affair with a troubled political operative, and into the dangerously surreal world of people who prefer casting their vote with a sniper’s bullet.
It wasn't so long ago that, while President Ronald Reagan presided, the "Evil Empire" of the Soviet Union collapsed. But, while the empire collapsed, the evil lived on. Today, the evil nucleus of that fallen empire, Russia, is more dangerous than ever with a greatly enlarged and active covert secret service effort. That effort is being expended to undermine western democracies so as to neutralize them in a bid to regain its empire, if not even more. Since the useful ideology of "Communism" collapsed along with the empire, Russian efforts at "agitprop" have been directed not through the traditional "left wing" extremists, but through the "right wing". In just ten days from the time of this writing we here in the U.S. will find out just how successful this Russian effort has been in undermining the freedoms, justice, and liberty that we Americans have become so complacent about. The result will fundamentally change the course of world history, perhaps in the worst possible way. To all patriotic Americans, please think before you vote; it may be the last real election you'll ever see.

The (non)sense of gender-free in conversational AI - Women in voice Netherlan...Marion Mulder
(Why) should technology have a gender?
Why are all voice devices female? Is that actually a bad thing? And what does this do to/for how we perceive women and gender equality? Is this making an improving for all of us or should we be concerned about something?
On 20 January I gave a presentation at the Women in Voice Netherlands (online) meetup about #genderfreetech, how I see it and what I've learned from both being in tech and diversity & inclusion for years as well as insights I got from ready a series of really good books on this subject.
Here you find my presentation addressing the following topics:
* What do I mean by Gender-Free; I’ll take you along on my journey of exploration
* Does everything need to be gender-neutral? Spoiler alert: Hell NO!
* That ‘thing’ about gender; what’s going on? why is that? Symptoms & underlying causes. In short: Bias and by Binary Thinking
* Opportunities & Possible Solutions
Want to know more about it, or want to create positive change? Feel free to contact me. I'd be happy to present, give workshops or work with you on co-creating great technology solutions that benefit everyone.

Writertain Publishers presents the maiden cover of her Emagazine, Writertain Creatives.
Writertain Publishers started with the aim of rejuvenating the concept of creativity in African Literature. And for that, we have studies some methods used by established countries and have decided to employ them in the African fiction-writing world. One major example is the way the French military employed science fiction writers to help imagine future threats [1].
In that light, we have decided to take the following steps:
Goal 1: Training of Students
We are focused on training children that want to go into fiction writing. Our aim is not only to teach them how to improve their writing but also how to make money off it, since there are international markets like Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancers that accept works from Nigerians.
Goal 2: Branding the Online Writing Community
Our foreign counterparts are involved in different ways of making authors feel confident about their works as well as making their readers part of it by giving publishing bestsellers of the week, month and year. Nigeria is yet to have an established rate company for this.
Thus, we have created our website to help in keeping Wiki of Nigerian writers, accumulating bestsellers, and training Nigerian fiction writers. This is a first of its kind in Africa.
With the recent political upheaval, it's become more important than ever for our alternative sexuality communities to insist upon inclusion and diversity for people of all races, sizes, genders, abilities and sexual and relationship orientations. Here's how we can stand together and prove that love trumps hate. Opening keynote for Poly Living Philadelphia 2017.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

the game for its mechanics, narrative reach, and

• Survival horror convention: innocence vs
evil
• Typically coded and white vs black, light
vs darkness, west vs rest, etc
• “Early in RE5, the team sees a
(extremely) White woman dragged
screaming by an African into a second-
story apartment. This scene evokes
allusions of Black-on-White rape because
of the woman’s Whiteness as well as
historical connotations of Black desire for
‘‘pure’’ White women. There are no
random choices in videogames; the
developers chose that pairing to fit in with
the horror aesthetic of the game”
• Brock, 2011: p.433-434
13. • RE5, however, utilizes a character set
more frequently seen in action movies: a
skilled, laconic White mercenary type
teamed up with an exotic female partner.
Sheva’s African origins lead one to believe
that she will serve as a native guide, but
her AI capabilities are not robust enough
to allow her to survive autonomously plus
she is apparently unfamiliar with the area.
At all times, she requires Chris’ assistance
to fend off enemies and provide direction
… In her role as support person, Sheva
does little to challenge gendered and
racialized stereotypes of women in media
14. – B R O C K , 2 0 1 1
• “Sheva Alomar’s depiction evokes possibilities of changing industry
perspectives on female videogame leads. Unfortunately, Sheva’s
character conforms to Western hegemonic conceptions of femininity
and race: she is brown, inarticulate, and supportive of the White
hero. Sheva’s alternate costumes make it clear that she is window-
dressing; a sexualized mule that lovingly carries tools of domination and
death for her White partner to use against her people.”

• The practice of doing something (such as hiring a
person who belongs to a minority group) only to
prevent criticism and to give the appearance that
people are being treated fairly. These tend to focus on
the stereotypical aspects of that culture, for example
arranged marriages.
• Do you have any examples?
