So, I ordered my Odin Pro 2 on May 22nd. It started shipping the next day, everything went super smooth till it hit Jax, FL. It's been On Hold there for days now and CS can only tell me what's on my own screen.
Delivery date was yesterday 5/31 "by 9pm" and here we are on June 1st. The tracking has updated now to just show a number at the top "103" I tried calling the Jax service center but could never get to a human, and now it says they are closed for the weekend. I'm assuming it's the front CS where you can drop/pick up packages and not the actual distribution but that doesn't help since there's no other numbers to try.
I'm not sure if this will upload the screenshot too, but could anyone aside from the shipping company somehow shed some light on what might be happening or to expect?

I work for a super small private health-care company and for cost and efficiency reasons my boss wanted to run a local server and I was tasked with setting this all up. Things are running smoothly in testing, the last piece of the puzzle I need is now a good backup software.
I would like a backup solution that creates an image of the whole drive on a scheduled basis at night while the system stays running that I can easily restore booting from a flash drive recovery environment in case of emergencies. However I would also like to be able to mount the image within Windows in case we just need a specific file or folder. Incremental backups would be nice too so we don't have to upload a multitude of GBs every time we run a backup to our cloud storage hoster.
Since this is my first local server administration I wanted to ask what the best software for the job would be, I know of a few but before I blindly recommend my boss anything I wanted to have some outside input.
Also what would be the best and most efficient way to mirror the image to different places?
The server has:
- One backup NVMe installed
- Two external HDDs (They always get put into a fire secure safe at the end of the day)
- A cloud drive we rent from a hosting company, they support FTP as well as mounting as a network drive
so mirroring the image to all of these places at the same time would be great.
German language support would be a huge plus also and price doesn't matter as long as it isn't too outrageously priced, we are a super small company after all.
Thanks for help in advance!
​
EDIT: I just remember something else I might as well ask about. Our main software connects to a local SQL database, if I pull the whole OS drive as an image there would be no need to suspend the SQL database service while the backup is taken, correct?

Dear Kraken Support,
I have already uploaded three valid documents to the address reverification form.
After passing the final webID verification, the Kraken-Pro start screen still shows a sign saying "There was a problem verifying some of your information – Provide updated information before 8. Juni 2024 to prepare your account to move to DLT Finance." Clicking the "Update information" button only takes me to the address reverification form AGAIN.
I ask you to be careful with my case as time is running out. By the way, there have been several different deadlines communicated by Kraken (May 8th, May 15th, May 18th). There is a lot of confusion among your german customers right now!!! Please, don't be ridiculous, you have a good reputation to lose!
Thanks!

I recently visited a museum in Brest in Brittany in France centered on the naval history of the region and France. In that museum, most breton explorer, sailors, etc. were labeled as "breton". After reading a couple of wiki articles on the same people, they were almost exclusivly labeled "french" on wiki. Since that is their nationality, (in the sense i understand the word), that seems fine. However, i made a couple of tests, and noticed that there seems to be no real pattern. I looked up people from ethnicities and ethnic minorities without their own state mostly in europe.
With the ethnicities of the UK, the case seems clear.
Scots and welsh people usually go under scottish and welsh, not briton. Since scotland and wales are technically countries of their own, that seems fine. People from Man are also labeled as manx, although man is bot even part of the UK, so this checks out.The Cornish are rarely mentioned, i assumr because, although they usually are counted among the "celtic nations", cornish identity is not werey steong or different from other "english" regional identities.
Another group i looked up were ethnicites without their own country that live in nations with another titular nation, eg. Bretons, Frisians, Basques, Sorbs and Sami.
Bretons are almost always labeled as french, exeptions are persons from the middle ages before brittany became part of france.
Basque people sometimes go by basque, sometimes by french or spanish. Since even politicians of nationalistic/regionalistic basque parties oftentimes are labeled french or spanish, it seems not to be due to "ethnicity mattering" for what the person is about.
Frisians almost always are labeled as Dutch or Germans, exceptions are mostly freedom fighters and rebels from the middle ages.
Sorbs are oftentimes labeled as sorbs, interestingly.
The same goes for sami people.
So i am interested: what are the guidelines here?
Why i think this matters and the current pattern is problematic? The classic "representation matters" argument. I think it is somewhat unsavory when a larger nation absorbs a minority or ethnicity, often by conquest, often assimilates them to a degree, oftentimes forcefully, and now appropriates noteworthy people of those ethnicities and claims them as "theirs" . When Breton explorers are french, frisian painters are dutch and basque poets are spanish, it fortifies the idea that those "obscure" minoritites contributes nothing noteworthy to society and makes them even more obscure.
Its not the same, but also not THAT far from turkish nationalist claiming "kurds are only mountain-turks" or putin claiming that ukrainians are just russians.
Its also about discrimination. Basically, it furthers "X-ification". Every sucesfull breton is not breton anymore, but french. It makes the french more, and the bretons less impressive. I once read an article once how a similar pattern hurts roma communitites: many sucesfull rom obscure and deny their ethnicity to avoid being discriminated, but in return, there are only few sucesfull rolemodels and examples for young roma people and society, and the bulk og the "open" rom people remain the unsuccessful ones, so they form societies view on them.

So promotional copies of Kill Team Termination have been sent out, and so I've done some squinting at youtube review videos to see what new lore for the Leagues of Votann is. There isn't really much new stuff as I would've hoped; most of it is just further elaboration on things we already know, like how they hunt Tyranid hive fleets for the resources they consumed on planets or how the Hernkyn act as the scouts for the Leagues. I'll just cut to the chase and make this post about the primary new thing added to the Leagues of Votann lore.
Upon their death, each Kin has their minds uploaded to their League's Votann in order that their knowledge may live on beyond them. Dying without having this opportunity is seen as the worst possible fate, to the point where the Leagues' legal system's greatest punishment is exile, as the threat of not being allowed to return to the Votann is enough to terrify any would-be criminal Kin into compliance. As such, the Hernkyn, who have to go on missions without the support of the rest of the Kin and with high risks that their bodies are never recovered, are seen as the bravest and most selfless of their kind.
Legacy Vaults exist as an answer to this problem. These devices essentially allow a group of Kin to create a back up of their minds, so that if the Vault is ever found its contents can be uploaded into the Votann. They are made of the strongest superalloys and wrapped in the most powerful forcefields, making them almost indestructible. There's even legends of Legacy Vaults being found inside stars. In addition, to avoid being discovered by outsiders, they do not emit any kind of distress signal, but instead reflect signals emitted by League ships, ensuring only the Kin are able to find them.
Of course, like any incredibly useful piece of technology in 40k, they're incredibly rare. The Leagues still know how to make them because they're not frauds like the Adeptus Mechanicus, but they're so difficult to make that a single Prospect (expeditionary fleet) may have only a handful of Legacy Vaults, if any at all. In addition, they have a limited storage capacity, so its not like you can back up your entire army's minds before a battle. Instead, what they're mainly used for is to back up the minds of Hernkyn just before they go on dangerous missions.
The plot of Termination deals with a Trans-Hyperian Alliance scout ship called Vektronn's Eye (is that a Mitchell and Webb reference?) that gets shot down over Bheta-Decima, which is just starting to deal with a Genestealer uprising. The surviving Hernkyn know that its incredibly unlikely that they're getting off this planet alive, so their main goal is to find the Legacy Vault so at least their minds can be returned to the Votann. Apparently the Legacy Vault got damaged and they have to basically jury-rig some Imperial generators in order to power it, which is a bit odd given the whole "they're indestructable" hype given earlier in the book. I mean, surviving having your ship shot down and only needing your batteries to be recharged is impressive, I guess, but its no "found in the center of a sun". I suppose its no different from "Terminator armour can survive being stepped on by a Titan also here's them getting torn to shreds by Genestealers".

The profusion of identical green tents at this spring’s anti-Israel protests struck many as odd. “Why is everybody’s tent the same?,” asked New York mayor Eric Adams. Like others, the mayor suspected “a well-concerted organizing effort” driving the protests. More recent reporting shows a concerted push behind the Gaza protest movement. But it is not as simple as a single organization secretly rallying protesters or buying tents. Instead, the movement’s most determined activists represent a network of loosely linked far-left groups. Some are openly affiliated with well-known progressive nonprofits; others work in the shadows.
The movement also draws on diverse but generous sources of financial backing. Those funding streams may soon be augmented by the federal government. As I chronicled last year in a Manhattan Institute report, “The Big Squeeze: How Biden’s Environmental Justice Agenda Hurts the Economy and the Environment,” the administration’s massive program of environmental justice grants seems designed to prioritize the funding of highly ideological local groups. The Inflation Reduction Act, for example, earmarks $3 billion for “environmental and climate justice block grants” intended for local nonprofits. Today, hundreds of far-left political groups include language about environmental issues and “climate justice” in their mission statements. If just a fraction of planned grants flows to such groups, the effect will be a gusher of new funding for radical causes.
As the Gaza protests spread across U.S. college campuses, many observers noted an eerie uniformity among them. From one campus to the next, protesters operated in disciplined cadres, keeping their faces covered and using identical rote phrases as they refused to talk with reporters. The Atlantic noted the strangeness of seeing elite college students “chanting like automatons.” Students held up keffiyeh scarves or umbrellas to block the view of prying cameras and linked arms to halt the movements of outsiders. At Columbia University and elsewhere, protesters formed “liberated zones,” from which “Zionists” were excluded. Around the edges of the encampments, the more militaristic activists donned helmets and goggles and carried crude weapons, apparently eager to mix it up with police or counter-protesters. We’ve seen these tactics before—notably during the “mostly peaceful” Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, when full-time agitators helped ignite riots, set up a police-free (and violence-plagued) zone in Seattle, and laid nightly siege to Portland, Oregon’s federal courthouse.
In a remarkable work of reporting, Park MacDougald recently traced the tangled roots of organizations backing pro-jihad protests, both on and off campuses. These include Antifa and other networks of anonymous anarchists, along with “various communist and Marxist-Leninist groups, including the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and the International ANSWER coalition,” MacDougald writes. Higher up the food chain, we find groups openly supported by America’s growing class of super-rich tech execs or the anti-capitalist heirs of great fortunes. For example, retired tech mogul Neville Roy Singham, who is married to Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, funds The People’s Forum, a lavish Manhattan resource center for far-left groups. As the Columbia protests intensified, the center urged members to head uptown to “support our students.” Following the money trail of other protest groups, MacDougald finds connections to the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, and—surprising no one—the George Soros-backed Tides Foundation.
Of course, the current wave of anti-Israel protests also involves alliances with pro-Hamas organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine. Last November, Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies testified to the House Ways and Means Committee that SJP and similar groups have deep ties to global terrorist organizations, including Hamas.
For many keffiyeh-wearing protestors, however, a recently professed concern for Palestinians is just the latest in a long list of causes they believe justify taking over streets and college quads. In Unherd, Mary Harrington dubs this medley of political beliefs the “omnicause,” writing that “all contemporary radical causes seem somehow to have been absorbed into one.” Today’s leftist activists share an interlocking worldview that sees racism, income inequality, trans intolerance, climate change, alleged police violence, and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts all as products of capitalism and “colonialism.” Therefore, the stated rationale for any individual protest is a stand-in for the real battle: attacking Western society and its institutions.
In the U.S., this type of general-purpose uprising goes back at least to the riots at the 1999 meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle. In those protests, mainstream liberal factions—including labor unions and environmentalists—were joined by “black bloc” anarchists and other radicals eager to engage in “direct action” against police. That pattern—relatively moderate demonstrators providing a friendly envelope for hard-core disruptors—formed the template for many later protests: the Occupy Wall Street encampments in 2011, demonstrations following the police shooting of Michael Brown in 2014, 2016’s Standing Rock anti-pipeline movement, and of course, the calamitous summer of 2020.
These uprisings were not entirely spontaneous. In some cases, activists spend months planning mass actions—for example, against economic summits or political conventions—and can recruit street fighters from across the country. In others, an event, such as George Floyd’s death, sparks popular protests involving neophyte demonstrators. Those attract far-left activists, who swoop in to organize and expand the struggle, often tilting it toward more radical action.
That has certainly been the case at the college Gaza-paloozas. At Columbia, the New York Times spotted a woman old enough to be a student’s grandmother in the thick of the action as protesters barricaded that school’s Hamilton Hall. The woman was 63-year-old Lisa Fithian, a lifetime activist, who Portland’s alternative weekly Street Roots approvingly calls “a trainer of mass rebellion.” A counter-protester trying to block the pro-Hamas demonstrators told NBC News, “She was right in the middle of it, instructing them how to better set up the barriers.” Fithian told the Times she’d been invited to train students in protest safety and “general logistics.” She claims to have taken part in almost every major U.S. protest movement going back to the 1999 “Battle in Seattle.”
America’s radical network has plenty of Lisa Fithians, with the time and resources to travel the country educating newcomers about the “logistics” of disruptive protests. And these activists appear to have played key roles in the college occupations. The New York City Police Department says nearly half the demonstrators arrested on the Columbia and City University of New York (CUNY) campuses on April 30 were not affiliated with the schools. One hooded Hamilton Hall occupier—photographed scuffling with a Columbia custodian before getting arrested—turned out to be 40-year-old James Carlson, heir to a large advertising fortune. According to the New York Post, Carlson lives in a $2.3 million Park Slope townhouse and has a long rap sheet. For example, in 2005, he was arrested in San Francisco during the violent “West Coast Anti-Capitalist Mobilization and March Against the G8.” (Those charges were dropped.)
For a quarter-century now, Antifa and other anarchist networks have worked to refine tactics and share lessons following each major action. At Columbia, UCLA, and other schools, authorities found printouts of a “Do-It Yourself Occupation Guide” and similar documents. The young campus radicals are eager to learn from their more experienced elders. And, like the high-achieving students they are, they follow directions carefully. MacDougald asked Kyle Shideler, the director for homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy, about the mystery of the identical tents. There was no need for a central group to distribute hundreds of tents, Shideler said. Instead, “the organizers told [students] to buy a tent, and sent around a Google Doc with a link to that specific tent on Amazon. So they all went out and bought the same tent.”
In other words, America’s radical class has gotten very skilled at recruiting and instructing new activists—even from among the ranks of elite college students with a good deal to lose. How much more could this movement accomplish with hundreds of millions in federal dollars flooding activist groups around the country?
From its first week in office, the Biden administration has trumpeted its goal to funnel more environmental spending toward “disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized,” partly by issuing grants to grassroots organizations. Previous environmental justice (EJ) grant programs were small in scope. But, with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022, a huge pool of grant money became available. EPA administrator Michael Regan told reporters, “We’re going from tens of thousands of dollars to developing and designing a program that will distribute billions.”
More than a year and a half later, it remains hard to nail down just where the Biden administration’s billions in EJ grants will wind up. Money is being distributed through a confusing variety of programs, and the process of identifying recipients is ongoing. To help outsource the job of sifting through proposals, the EPA last year designated 11 institutions as “Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmakers.” These groups are empowered to make subgrants directly to community organizations, under streamlined EPA oversight. In all, the Biden administration has entrusted these outfits with distributing a staggering $600 million in funding. The money is expected to start flowing this summer.
The EPA’s grantmakers include a number of educational institutions and left-leaning nonprofits. For example, the EPA chose Fordham University as its lead grantmaker in the New York region. Fordham, in turn, lists as partners two nonprofits that oppose immigration enforcement. (One, the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, states on its website: “NJAIJ believes in the human right to migrate, regardless of citizenship or political status.”) Neither group claims expertise in environmental issues. Given that the IRA’s eligibility requirements for EJ grants are extremely vague, however, perhaps that’s not a problem. Almost any activity that could help “spur economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities” (in the words of Biden’s EJ executive order) might qualify.
Perhaps the most prominent—and problematic—EPA grantmaker is the Berkeley, California-based Climate Justice Alliance. The CJA is a consortium of mostly far-left activist groups. It describes its mission as working for “regenerative economic solutions and ecological justice—under a framework that challenges capitalism and both white supremacy and hetero-patriarchy.” The group is a vigorous proponent of the omnicause, embracing almost every left-wing concern as a manifestation of climate change. For example, the CJA website proclaims: “The path to climate justice travels through a free Palestine.” MacDougald notes that the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance, one of CJA’s affiliated groups, “organized an illegal anti-Israel protest in the Capitol Rotunda in December at which more than 50 activists were arrested.”
The CJA website also includes a section dedicated to the cause known as Stop Cop City. It refers to an effort to halt the construction of an 85-acre police and firefighter training center outside Atlanta. Rag-tag activists from around the country have gathered around the facility since 2021. They have repeatedly battled with police—sometimes with fireworks and Molotov cocktails—and used bolt cutters to enter the site and torch construction equipment. (CJA’s Stop Cop City page features a cartoon illustration of three childlike activists; one brandishes bolt cutters.) The group also backs a legal defense fund for activists arrested in attacks on the training center or in other protests. For those looking for more inspiration, CJA links to an interview with former Black Panther and self-described revolutionary Angela Davis.
The Alliance is not an ideological outlier in Biden’s EJ coalition. On the contrary, when the White House assembled its White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC), a panel of outside experts meant to provide “horizon-expanding EJ advice and recommendations,” it chose CJA co-chair Elizabeth Yeampierre to help lead the committee. Like other members of the panel, she sees environmental issues through an ideological, not a scientific, lens. “Climate change is the result of a legacy of extraction, of colonialism, of slavery,” Yeampierre told Yale Environment 360. As a group, radical EJ activists tend not to focus on pragmatic ways to reduce pollution and carbon emissions; for them, the real goal is overturning what they see as an exploitative economic and political system. Since these are the voices the White House chose to help shape its EJ policies, we can assume this worldview will dominate grantmaking decisions.
In February 2023, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer, along with fellow committee member Pat Fallon, wrote to EPA administrator Regan asking for more information on the EPA’s grant programs. They noted that the EPA’s own studies of EJ grants issued in previous years showed sloppy supervision. According to an EPA report, an earlier version of the program funded projects that did “not logically lead to the desired environmental and/or public health [result].” Without better oversight and more clearly defined goals, the congressmen wrote, the EPA’s EJ grant machine risks becoming simply a “slush fund for far-left organizations.”
Since then, the administration has done little to reassure skeptics. To the contrary, the EPA has put at least one far-left organization—CJA—in charge of distributing $50 million in grant money. No doubt, many of the EPA grants will go to worthwhile projects. But money is fungible. A group that gets a large grant to, say, clean up dirty parks or teach children about recycling will also be able to hire more staff and divert more resources to political action.
With graduation behind them, most of the anti-Israel college protesters have stowed away their keffiyehs and moved on to summer vacations or internships. But the peripatetic activists who helped guide and intensify those uprisings are doubtless already planning their next actions. After all, two political conventions are looming. This fall, the college protests will likely flare up again, though by then perhaps focused on a different facet of the omnicause. And, with hundreds of millions in fresh funding flowing through the activist ecosystem, the groups that quietly nurture extremists—like those who firebombed “Cop City,” or who chant “Intifada Revolution!,” or who block bridges in the name of “climate”—will be more emboldened than ever.

Hi everyone,
I need the A2 German Goethe Certificate in a short period of time. To ensure I meet my deadline, I'm considering signing up for the exam twice – once as my primary attempt and a second time as a backup in case I don't pass the first one.
I've checked the Goethe-Institut website and the specific test center guidelines but couldn't find any information about the possibility of registering for the same exam multiple times within a short period.
I just want to make sure that it is completely allowed, and if anything will happen if I don't then sit the second exam.
Thank you

Before I begin I must say that I am not a Turkish nationalist by any stretch of the imagination just in case you were wondering.
A ton of people seem to hate the Turkish focus tree online and I think it's well justified from the perspective most people look at it from. If you want to get into the war early with any decent strength you pretty much have to beeline the military focus trees at the expense developing your economy. I've seen many people complain that doing this means it's not a good idea to enter the war until 1942 or 1943.
In my opinion I love that design. I actually think more countries that are minor powers and were struggling to get going should have to choose between getting involved early while weak, or building up and then joining later when you're stronger.
Every time I've played turkey I always spend the first 5 years of the game sucking up to all the different factions and turning my country into an economic powerhouse, going from a measly 16 factories to around 80 most games by 1941. By then I usually have some strong infantry, and fresh modern tank divisions, meanwhile the rest of the world is starting to get a bit exhausted by the fighting.
Joining that late means you can have a decisive impact on the war and turn the tide for any of the major factions. Joining the Soviet invasion while the Germans are already slugging it out and both sides are deeply entrenched lets you completely change the situation very quickly with your new modern military.
Joining the allies in the mid-40s when most of the Balkans has likely been conquered or joined the axis gives you an opportunity strike there exposed flank while they're all busy in Russia.
I actually think the Ottoman empire path is by far the worst path in the game because it's not very original, not very realistic, and not very fun.I bet most people who have played turkey have actually tried this path while ignoring the other ones which are imo a lot cooler.
The balkan path is definitely one of the hardest ones, especially because if you play your cards wrong you could end up fighting both the axis and the Soviets, but it's fun to try to lead a motley crew of nations that historically got pretty shit on during this timeframe against the big bad guys.
The center path is where it's really at though, you get the option to basically buddy up with everyone without actually joining their alliances and get them to give you all sorts of cool stuff. If you maximize your political power gain, you can actually get a lot of factories from the various people of Europe only to turn around and back stab them a few years later for the glory of the Turks!
In my opinion the strongest path is actually the anti-bolshevik Accord where you get a ton of free building slots and some national spirits that upgrade your military. You are of course free to dismantle this faction and join whoever you'd like. The great thing about the middle path is you can actually join most factions as any ideology, which lets you be a little rat and backstab whoever's the weakest. The weakest path is probably the Italian alliance since you're basically just making the discount axis.
The allied path is fun, but in my opinion getting the British land in the Middle East is pretty useless, because it's all non-core land with no resources, factories, or people. I recommend most people who want to do a game with the allies to do the anti-bolshevik Accord, and then just dismantle your faction and join the allies manually.
Joining the axis really lets you go hard on that pan turkism larp, and you get a lot of bonuses to fighting in the cold which can be really useful if you're trying to form turan. I usually don't join the war against the Allies until the comintern is defeated.
I also really like the late game path for trying to form Turan. It makes for a very rewarding story of taking a country that was poor as shit with a terrible military into one of the preeminent powers of the old world.
I think the biggest drawback for turkey is that many other countries that had no business starting major military campaigns that early are able to do so thanks to their focus trees. I personally find the game a lot more interesting when you have countries building up on the sidelines but not quite in the war yet, but when they do join it has a Major impact.
All in all, if you have previously not tried turkey because of all the negative comments about it, or try to and didn't like it because you did the Ottoman empire path or try to get into the war right when it started, consider giving it another try or you take your time to build up a strong economy and the state of the art military that can crush your tired opponents and make even the biggest Turkish ultra nationalist blush.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk

This is a reenvisioning of an older hiring / looking for jobs post from 2017 (oof.mario.FLAC). This wiki link will still house these, but uhhh, crow got lazy and stopped uploading them or something. I, The Great Automod, have safely acquired the original post and it is now producing adequatly. We needed to update the posting in general, and hopefully, now it is more human-user-friendly compared to years ago.
/NashvilleJobs is a fairly active subreddit with discussion centering on Middle Tennesee job postings. I put anything in these forums at a higher quality compared with craigslist postings at face value, but be sure you are safe, human. The automatons need your productivity to continue.
The Center for Non-Profits Job Board is as close to official as we can find for 501(c)(3) - Robo-organically, we recommend reaching out if you are interested in a specific charitable niche.
Here is a table of "regional" city boards:

Township Job Board	Distance from Nashville	GMaps Drive Time (could be ± 900%)	Notes
Nashville, TN	0 (surprising)	0 or 7 hours	Some departments higher internally
Clarksville, TN	50 miles	1:00 hour	Very structured "level-up" system
Hendersonville, TN	19 miles	20 minutes
Gallatin, TN	30 miles	33 minutes	Their link says 2023, but it's real
Brentwood, TN	10.5 miles	16 minutes	Uses a link protector
Franklin, TN	22 miles	24 minutes
Mt. Juliet, TN	20 miles	22 minutes	town has 3 roads
Lebanon, TN	32 miles	33 minutes	town still uses a .ORG website

• GMaps uses Church Street just before 6th Ave.
• Most of the sites that the cities use are functional. If there are failed links blame u/crowcawer, pathetic bird-human.
• Many of these cities have jobs that have continuous openings (ie police / paramedic).

The State Link is currently working on my end. All the city/county links above are also working!
USAJOBS is the federal highering board. Type in "Nashville, TN" and click "open to the public" unless you are already an employee.

About the book… https://muse.jhu.edu/article/664584/pdf
“This book provides a detailed analysis of Islamic juristic writings on the topic of rape. The author argues that classical Islamic jurispru- dence contained nuanced, substantially divergent doctrines of sexual violation as a punishable crime. The work centers on legal discourses of the first six centuries of Islam, the period during which these dis- courses reached their classical forms. It chronicles the disagreement over whether or not to provide monetary compensation to victims, as reflected in debates between the Hanafı and Malikı schools of law. Along with tracing the emergence and development of this conflict over time, the author explains the evidentiary and procedural ramifications of each of the two competing positions. This study examines several critical themes in Islamic law, such as the relationship between sexual- ity and property, the tension between divine rights and personal rights in sex crimes, and justifications of victims’ rights as afforded by the two competing doctrines.”
“This book seeks to tell a story, the story of a particular legal idea - that of male sexual violence against females, or what we commonly refer to as "rape" - from its beginnings in the formative period of Islam through its maturation in classical Sunni legal discourse. This story, at its most basic level, seeks to answer a set of questions: Does Islamic law possess a legal concept of sexual violation akin to contemporary Western concepts of rape? If so, how is it defined? How is it to be punished? What types of evidence and procedure are to be used to establish a victim's claim, or to verify a defendant's denial? How were Islamic legal doctrines on each of these points formulated, argued, and defended? In this book, I show that from the earliest period of Islam - indeed, perhaps from the time of the Prophet himself - Muslim legal authorities did in fact maintain a notion of sexual violation as a punishable crime. We will see how various early authorities defined sexual violation, on the basis of their understandings of the Qur'an and the Prophetic legacy, and within the theological, ethi-cal, and cultural parameters in which they worked. I will show how the idea of sexual violation was elaborated over time, through the discourses of certain Sunni jurists, and how the atomistic legal pronouncements of precedential figures of the formative period of Islam were gradually woven together and rationalized by later medieval scholars into increasingly comprehensive theories about the interrelationships between divine claims and human claims, between sexuality and property, and among volition, legal capacity, and legal liability.”
