11/23/2023 0 Comments Scotus rulings 2022![]() ![]() Tone deaf is far too kind a description for Justice Alito’s misogyny. The citations in the draft opinion are staggering enough but, even after the world criticized Alito for including Hale in that draft, Hale still appeared in the final opinion in much the same manner. In any event, the idea that increased adoption opportunities mitigate the harm women suffer by forced pregnancies is just wrong and offensive.įor reasons beyond anyone’s imagination, Justice Alito in the Dobbs draft opinion relied on Mathew Hale, a despicable figure from the 17the century, whose writings, according to one commentator, “have caused enduring damage to women for hundreds of years.” Among other heinous contributions, Hale is credited with furthering the legal rule that men cannot rape their wives and the practice of burning women at the stake when they are deemed (by men) to be witches. Of course this line of questioning, utterly irrelevant to the legal issues surrounding abortion, probably had nothing to do with Barrett’s personal experience of adopting several children nor her religious objections to abortion. Barrett seemed oblivious to the idea that maybe this alternative is not one most women would choose (not to mention the physical, economic, and mental burdens associated with an unwanted pregnancy during the actual pregnancy). This post is not about how much I disagree with almost all of the big cases from 2022 but rather about the moments that should be a reminder to us all that the six conservative justices who now control the highest court in the land are just, well, terrible, even apart from their votes.ġ) Adoption, Abortion, and Justice Barrettĭuring the oral argument in the Dobbs case, Justice Barrett asked several questions about adoption and “safe haven” laws that allow parents to give up babies to the state after birth, no questions asked. Here are my top ten worst moments of 2022 (in no particular order). This was a no good, terrible, very bad year at the Supreme Court of the United States.

It also includes student input on what podcasters have learned, the challenges they have faced, and their plans for the future. Sound recording equipment, microphones, mixers, and audio files may be intimidating to some librarians and educators this book quells those fears by explaining the technology in a straightforward, how-to manner. This program can be set up relatively cheaply, and readers will learn how to use the technology required to deliver a podcast. Putting youth in control when interviewing authors and other guests develops their leadership and technical skills and brings new users to the library to engage in a unique library activity. Podcasting with Youth teaches librarians and educators how to set up, develop, market, and deliver a successful youth-led podcast from their library. Podcasting from the library is a growing movement. Learn how to set up a student-led podcast in your library, involve staff from several subject areas, market effectively, what challenges you are likely to face, and how podcasting will benefit the students and school overall. It is also an invaluable resource for any individual interested in developing their own podcast. Written in an easy, humorous style, The Podcaster's Manifesto is an exemplary resource for programs and courses in communication, especially those with emphasis in audio and podcasting. Dedicated chapters help readers find their voice, write for the ear, edit audio, set up a home studio, pitch a podcast, and more. The book prepares readers to participate in the audio world by introducing them to terminology, equipment, and best practices, and then demonstrating how to put it all together to create audio that is impactful, engaging, and rich-audio that people will listen to. The book takes the mystery out of audio: what makes it different, where its challenges lie, and what makes it such an enticing medium to work in. In The Podcaster's Manifesto, Sarah Lemanczyk draws from her experience as one of the first professors in the United States to teach a dedicated podcasting course as part of a journalism curriculum.

That’s when you can find some help in the form of a reference architecture, which you can use as a starting point and tweak further to fit your use case. Each structure comprises software elements, relations among them, and properties of both elements and relations.

If backing, it could be that you aren’t stretching the fabric tight enough during the basting process. ![]() I don’t find this to be necessary very often, but if bulk is a real issue, try it. Are you also nesting seams so they are facing different directions? If the answer to that is also yes, what about fanning seams?

But it’s worth it.įor those who prefer to use basting spray, be sure to spray the backing to the batting, as well as the quilt top to the batting. ![]() I prefer to pin baste, so I place a safety pin at least every 4 inches all around my entire quilt. When each layer of your quilt sandwich is nice, flat, and wrinkle-free, baste it, and baste it good. It won't get the wrinkles out completely – but well enough for it to be smooth for quilting. I'll then smooth it out and allow the wrinkles to relax as they dry. One little trick I only tell my favorite friends (you), is if I'm dealing with some pretty harsh wrinkles in my batting, and I've already got the backing and batting spread out, I'll take my spray water bottle and mist the batting. 11/22/2023 0 Comments Spotify playlist covers 300x300![]() ![]() Playlist covers are so small even on desktop that they need to be exceptionally easy to register, even at a quick glance.
