methods of conservation & new exhibition policies for photo-works. SP 2 Bas Reijers (Organic Chemistry and Catalysis), PhD-research: ‘On the Chemistry of Photo-works’. The purpose of this project is twofold: firstly, to identify and study the degradation processes of the materials and the possible undesirable interactions between the chemical components that may affect the preservation, conservation and ultimately the display of these photo-works (work-in-progress). Secondly, to design an intake-protocol for the best storage and display conditions for photo-works, with the most appropriate environmental conditions for the combined materials. SP 3 Monica Marchesi (Conservator/Conservation Studies), ‘The Preservation and Conservation Blueprint of Photo-Works’, resulting in a Decision-Making Model and an Intake-Model. PhD-research: ‘Reproduction as a conservation strategy for photo-works’. At the core of this research is the shift from photography seen as a reproducible medium to the photograph perceived in its singularity, and the subsequent art historical and ethical implications, as well as the consequences for the conservation and display practices of the museum. This way of looking at photo-works opens up ontological questions on how to consider these artworks and how to preserve and conserve them for the future. This PhD-research interacts with and follows from the research executed for the Intake and Decision Making Model. Tacita Dean, Crowhurst II (2007), Museum De Pont.

Toyota Motor Corp. today marked the completion of a $90 million training center in Japan aimed at boosting the skills of Toyota mechanics at dealerships around the world. The Tajimi Service Center will train about 2,600 mechanics per year at first, and 4,800 a year eventually, the automaker said. The center is part of Toyota's efforts to avoid costly recalls such as those in 2009-10, when the company recalled millions of vehicles. "Customer service is essential to us. We must raise the level of our repair and maintenance skills, serve the customer from the customer's viewpoint, and communicate thoroughly so that we can provide service directly to the customer faster and more accurately," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said in a statement. The center, in Tajimi City, includes a test course that simulates 13 driving conditions, including bumpy roads, cobblestones and wet surfaces. In addition to training dealership aftersales service staff, the center will perform r&d in repair and maintenance technology, the company said. "No vehicle is used in the same way, and all sorts of things happen that cannot be anticipated at the development stage," Toyoda told Yahoo Finance. "It is impossible to build a vehicle that will never break down." Other automakers have similar training centers, and Toyota has another one in Nisshin City, Japan, but the new four-story center is one of the largest for any automaker, Yahoo Finance said. Toyota's U.S. sales in June rose 10 percent from a year earlier, to 195,235 units. Through the first six months of the year, the company's U.S. sales were up 6 percent from the same period a year ago, to 1.1 million units.

Today we can marvel at the first music video to come from the release in the name of the latest single The Death Of Billy Mouliere, Bunkie native Billy Davis Mouliere passed away on November 12, 2018 in Victoria, TX. He was a native of Louisiana, born July 28,1939 in Bunkie, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana to parents Davis Jules Mouliere and Mary Leona Walker. He graduated from Bolton High School in Alexandria, Louisiana. He enlisted into the Marines right after graduating High School in 1957 and shipped out to Yokohama & Kamiseya, Japan as cryptographer with a top secret clearance . Before shipping out he wed Dorothy Elizabeth Silman on February 17, 1958 in Imperial Beach, California. To this union 4 children were blessed to them. After returning from Japan, Billy attended LSU and graduated in 1968 and immediately went to work for Tennessee Gas Pipeline as a Technical Engineer with MBA and transferred to Morehead, KY. After 5 more transfers to Louisiana, Houston, Minnesota, Indiana, and back to Texas, he retired from El Paso Gas Pipeline and moved the last time to Victoria, TX. His hobbies after retirement were auctions and garage sales. But his main focus was the annual Walker Family Reunion, in Louisiana. He worked with Hospice of South Texas and was avid Bowler. He loved bowling at the Century Lanes of Victoria. Preceded in death father Davis Jules Mouliere in June of 1997 and mother Mary Leona Walker Mouliere in March 1983. He was survived by his wife Dorothy of Victoria; his 4 children, Billy Dewayne Mouliere and wife Tammy of New Waverly, TX, Sheila Marie Mouliere Liccketto and husband Todd of Meadows Place, TX, Linda Darlene Mouliere Short of Victoria, and James Michael Mouliere and wife Vicky of Baytown, TX; 2 Grandchildren, Amanda Marie Short Erickson and husband Steve and great-granddaughter Mailey of Big Stone Gap, VA. , Crystal Lynn Mouliere of Baytown; step-grandchild Andrea Miller with step great grandchildren, Bryland and Beau of Kileen, TX, step grandchildren Ashley Mancha, Joshua Mancha, Nathan Mancha, and step great grandchildren Kayden, Colton, Heidi, Weslee, Chloe of Baytown, TX; his siblings James Moise Mouliere of Alexandria, LA and Nancy Ellen Mouliere Gremillion of Alexandria, LA, many nieces and nephews; and Godson, Keith Mouliere.

paid a lump sum of money and gives up the right to have their future medical care paid for by the insurance company. The other form of settlement is a stipulated award. Here the injured worker receives agreed upon benefits over a period of time and the future medical expenses related to the work injury continue to be paid by the employer. Supplemental Job Displacement Benefit. Injured workers receive a supplemental job displacement benefit if they have a permanent partial disability, cannot return to their old job due to work restrictions, and are not offered modified or alternative employment by their employer. The benefit is a voucher that the employee uses to pay for vocational retraining or skills enhancement at state-approved schools. Temporary Disability Benefits. After missing three days of work or spending the night in a hospital due to a work-related injury, employees are entitled to temporary disability benefits. The benefits last until the injured worker is able to return to work or reaches maximum medical improvement. The benefit is two-thirds of the gross wages, subject to a minimum and maximum weekly payment. Work Restrictions. Work restrictions are imposed by a treating physician and define the activities an injured worker cannot perform after returning to work. These may include restrictions on the amount of weight which can be lifted, the amount of time an injured worker can stand, a prohibition against climbing stairs, and similar restrictions.

In recent years there is a growing understanding that animal experiments fail to predict the human response. This necessitates the development of alternative models to predict drug toxicity. The recent tightening of European regulations preventing the cosmetic industry from using animals in research and development, blocks companies like L’Oréal and Estée Lauder from developing new products, bringing massive investment into this field. The main challenge in replacing animal experiments is that human cells seldom survive more than a few days outside the body. To address this challenge, scientists at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology in Germany partnered to create a liver-on-chip device mimicking human physiology. “The liver organs we created were less than a millimeter in diameter and survive for more than a month,” saidProfessor Yaakov Nahmias, the study’s lead author and Director of the Alexander Grass Center for Bioengineering at The Hebrew University. While other groups showed similar results, the breakthrough came when the groups added nanotechnology-based sensors to the mix. “We realized that because we are building the organs ourselves, we are not limited to biology, and could introduce electronic and optical sensors to the tissue itself. Essentially we are building bionic organs on a chip,” said Nahmias. The addition of nanotechnology-based optoelectronic sensors to the living tissues enabled the group to identify a new mechanism of acetaminophen (Tylenol) toxicity. “Because we placed sensors inside the tissue, we could detect small and fast changes in cellular respiration that nobody else could,” said Nahmias. “Suddenly nothing we saw made sense”. The authors discovered that acetaminophen blocked respiration, much faster and at a much lower dose than previously believed. The current understanding was that acetaminophen was broken to a toxic compound, called NAPQI, before damaging the cells. As the liver could naturally deactivate NAPQI, damage

The authors discovered that acetaminophen blocked respiration, much faster and at a much lower dose than previously believed. The current understanding was that acetaminophen was broken to a toxic compound, called NAPQI, before damaging the cells. As the liver could naturally deactivate NAPQI, damage

was thought to occur only at high doses and in cases of diseased or compromised liver function. The current study, released online in the leading journal Archives of Toxicology, turns 50 years of research on its head. The authors found that acetaminophen itself can stop cellular respiration in minutes, even in the absence of NAPQI, explaining much of the off target effects of the drugs. “This is a fascinating study”, said Professor Oren Shibolet, Head of the Liver Unit at the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, and one of the leading experts on drug-induced liver injury, who was not involved in the original study. “We knew that acetaminophen can cause nephrotoxicity as well as rare but serious skin reactions, but up until now, we didn’t really understand the mechanism of such an effect. This new technology provides exceptional insight into drug toxicity, and could in fact transform current practice.” The results mark the first discovery of a new toxicity mechanism using the newly emerging human-on-a-chip technology, suggesting that the development of alternative models for animal testing is just around the corner. The global market of this technology is estimated to grow to $17 billion by 2018, showing a double-digit annual growth rate in the last three years.

The so-called citizen science project is simply designed to tap into the vast potential manpower of the general public to boost research outside of the laboratory and free up scientists to focus on other areas. Cancer samples are given stains that will highlight certain molecules, which could help shed light on how a patient will respond to a particular treatment. This is a very slow process, and the analysis is mostly undertaken by trained pathologists. But now, for the first time, real cancer data has been transformed into a format that can easily be analysed by non-experts, via

That court case, which was brought by the teachers union

that supports Hillary Clinton, would seem to favor Obama‘s chances in Nevada on Saturday. So what are today‘s development lead in the Democratic race? Pat Buchanan and Bill Press are here to weigh in. We begin with the Republicans in South Carolina where John McCain and Mike Huckabee run very close ahead of the field with about 49 hours left before polls close there. Joining me now is the governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford. Governor, thanks for coming on. GOV. MARK SANFORD ®, SOUTH CAROLINA: Pleasure. CARLSON: So you, as I remember very well, were a big John McCain man eight years ago. You traveled with him all through the state and I think other states as I remember. You seem to be a friend of John McCain‘s. Why haven‘t you endorsed him this time? SANFORD: Well, you‘ve got to be where you are in life. And when all this began more than a year ago and you begin to have talks with different candidates, different friends, what I had to look at was: could I put a piece of the next year of my life into a presidential campaign when I had an awfully full plate here in South Carolina, both with the job at hand and four boys at the house and everything else? I elected to stay out because to have done so would have meant I‘d had to take something else off the plate. And I‘m watching like everybody else here in South Carolina. It‘s indeed going to be a race right down to the finish. CARLSON: Well, you could, presumably, just you‘re a popular governor, you could just say, “You know what? I liked John McCain then, I like him now, I‘m personally going to vote for him.” Has McCain changed in any way, do you think, in the last eight years that has turned you off? SANFORD: No, no, no. This isn‘t about John. It‘s been about, again, a very full plate in life. And literally do you take something off to put that on? That‘s where I was a year ago. And then the question becomes now when you get in the last couple of hours of a race is, given the number of people that I have talked to over this last year, and I‘ve said saying I‘m staying out of this race, I‘ve got to honor that commitment. And so I got to be where I am, I got to stay where I am. But what I would say about this race, in fairness to John and frankly a number of the other candidates in it here as we go into the final hour, is that what is important, and I beg of this of South Carolinians, is not to fall prey to a lot of these really lousy tactics that are employed at the end stages of the campaign. I‘ve been subject to them in my own campaigns. And one of the horrible vestiges of Lee Atwater who sort of began this notion of—I guess it‘s been around as long as politics have been around, but to begin this notion of ends justifying the means is to, you know, have (INAUDIBLE) Vietnam group that appears in the last week of a campaign saying, “I don‘t know about what this guy did when he‘s a POW,” I think that crosses a line is (INAUDIBLE) all right. CARLSON: So you think there‘s something about South Carolina politics that‘s tougher than other states. You just mentioned South Carolina native Lee Atwater. SANFORD: Yes. I mean I look in terms of the (INAUDIBLE) to begin that process, employed it very, very successfully in a number of national races around the country and more local races. You know, on his deathbed, though, because he ultimately—unfortunately got a terminal (INAUDIBLE) then dead, he ended up going back to some of those folks and saying, “I‘m sorry for what I did.” The point is not him, the point is not his legacy, the point is (INAUDIBLE) tomorrow and come Saturday, it‘s important that people here in South Carolina. CARLSON: All right. SANFORD: .and for that (INAUDIBLE) the country (INAUDIBLE). CARLSON: Governor, I‘m afraid the satellite has gone down and we‘ve lost contact with you.

). Francois Sabary. Concurrency control is one of the most important and performancecritical feature of a database. Up to its version 4, ActivePivot was using a simple read-write lock to enforce mutual exclusion between queries and transactions. While functionally correct this technique causes various performance issues, the most visible one being that long-running queries prevent new data from being inserted in the database. In this paper, we will see how multi-version concurrency control has been implemented in ActivePivot to solve these problems. We will also show how this new mechanism has been leveraged to implement both as-of and what-if analysis, two new defining features of ActivePivot. Transactional MongoDB.

The wide adaptation of NoSQL data-stores and among them the document data-stores, because of their rich functionalities and their performance, has led to the need for also providing from them transactional semantics. MongoDB, a very popular document data-store, require from the application developer to implement his own two phase commit protocol in case the application requires ensuring ACID properties. In this paper, it is presented an extension of the official MongoDB client for providing transactional semantics and Snapshot Isolation. STREAM-OPS: a Streaming Operator Library. RTPBD 2016: Final Public Workshop from LeanBigData and CoherentPaaS (DISCOTEC 2016). Ricardo Jiménez Peris, Valerio Vianello, Marta Patiño Martínez. Nowadays applications consume huge amount of live data with the requirement of real-time processing. Complex Event Processing (CEP) represents a promising technology to allow these applications to process large amount of information in real-time. Some of the available CEP systems, like Apache Storm, provide a programmatic model for the definition of the continuous queries used to process data on the fly. This paper presents STREAM-OPS, a library of streaming operators written in JAVA that is designed to ease the process of streaming query definition. In the paper we also present an evaluation of the STREAM-OPS library when integrated into two CEP systems developed in the context of CoherentPaaS and LeanBigData European projects. A Taxonomy of Multistore Systems. RTPBD 2016: Final Public Workshop from LeanBigData and CoherentPaaS (DISCOTEC 2016). Carlyna Bondiombouy and Patrick Valduriez. Building cloud data-intensive applications often requires using multiple data stores (NoSQL, HDFS, RDBMS, etc.). However, the wide diversification of data store interfaces makes it difficult to integrate data from multiple data stores. This problem has motivated the design of a new generation of systems, called multistore systems, which provide integrated or transparent access to a number of cloud data stores through one or more query languages. In this paper, we give a taxonomy of multistore systems, based on their architecture, data model, query languages and query processing techniques. To ease comparison, we divide multistore systems based on the level of coupling with the underlying data stores, i.e. loosely-coupled, tightly-coupled and hybrid.

An RDMA Middleware for Asynchronous Multi-Stage Shuffling in Analytical Processing. The 16th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS 2016), Heraklion (Grecia), Rui C. Gonçalves, José Pereira and Ricardo Jiménez-Peris. A key component in large scale distributed analytical processing is shuffling, the distribution of data to multiple nodes such that the computation can be done in parallel. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a communication middleware to support data shuffling for executing multi-stage analytical processing operations in parallel. The middleware relies on RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) to provide basic operations to asynchronously exchange data among multiple machines. Experimental results show that the RDMA-based middleware developed can provide a 75 % reduction of the costs of communication operations on parallel analytical processing tasks, when compared with a sockets middleware. The CloudMdsQL Multistore System. Proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Management of Data (SIGMOD Conference) Boyan Kolev, Carlyna Bondiombouy, Patrick Valduriez, Ricardo Jimenez-Peris, Raquel Pau, Jose Pereira. Multistore Big Data Integration with CloudMdsQL BDA 2016: Conférence sur la Gestion de Données — Principes, Technologies et Applications. Carlyna Bondiombouy, Boyan Kolev, Oleksandra Levchenko, Patrick Valduriez. The title “Multistore Big Data Integration with CloudMdsQL” was presented in the BDA 2016 Conference on Data Management — Principles, Technologies and Applications, which took place in Poitiers, France. BDA (Bases de Données Avancées) is a major annual event gathering top scientists from the French database community. Multistore systems provide integrated access to multiple, heterogeneous data stores through a single query engine, typically integrating unstructured big data stored in HDFS with relational data. In this paper, we propose a functional SQL-like query language (based on CloudMdsQL) that takes full advantage of the functionality of the underlying data processing frameworks by allowing the ad-hoc usage of user defined map/filter/reduce operators in combination with traditional SQL statements. Tucana: Design and Implementation of a Fast and Efficient Scale-up Key-value Store. Usenix Annual Technical Conference (Usenix ATC’2016). Anastasios Papagiannis, Giorgos Saloustros, Pilar González-Férez, Angelos Bilas. Given current technology trends towards fast storage devices and the need for increasing data processing density, it is important to examine key-value store designs that reduce CPU overhead. However, current key-value stores are still designed mostly for hard disk drives (HDDs) that exhibit a large difference between sequential and random access performance, and they incur high CPU overheads. In this paper we present Tucana, a feature-rich keyvalue store that achieves low CPU overhead. Our design starts from a Be –tree approach to maintain asymptotic properties for inserts and uses three techniques to reduce overheads: copy-on-write, private allocation, and direct device management. In our design we favor choices that reduce overheads compared to sequential device accesses and large I/Os. We evaluate our approach against RocksDB, a stateof- the-art key-value store, and show that our approach improves CPU efficiency by up to 9:2x and an average of 6x across all workloads we examine. In addition, Tucana improves throughput compared to RocksDB by up to 7x. Then, we use Tucana to replace the storage engine of HBase and compare it to native HBase and Cassandra two of the most popular NoSQL stores. Our results show that Tucana outperforms HBase by up to 8x in CPU efficiency and by up to 10x in throughput. Tucana’s improvements are even higher when compared to Cassandra.

the UK is about 9.7 litres per adult, which compares with 8.8 litres for adults in 34-member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEDC), and ranks the UK 16th out of the OEDC countries. Since 1970, alcohol consumption has decreased by an average of 15% across OEDC countries, while in the UK it has risen 14% over the same period. Alcohol use has declined 69% in Italy, 48% in France, 36% in Spain and 30% in Germany, but has increased 51% in Ireland. Consumption of alcohol per head in the UK has fallen by about 17% since its recent peak in 2004. But that followed a steep rise. A study reported in 2015 in the International Journal of Advertising suggests that advertising has little impact on how much we drink, but it is effective at influencing what we drink. ‘Premiumization’ is a term used in the industry to describe how spirit brands have had success convincing consumers that they should drink “higher quality” and more expensive beverages. An example of this is the recent boom in the sale of gin, which corresponded with the industries premiumization strategies that linked gin with “fashionable” early 20th century style. UK alcohol taxes far exceed the costs to public services The “free-pass” enjoyed by alcohol beverages corporations is strengthened by the relative lack of public scrutiny they receive. This might be partly explained by the fact that governments benefit significantly from alcohol related taxes and duty. Consider Britain. In 2016 the UK government made nearly £3.4bn in tax revenue from spirits; beer sales made the UK government £3.3bn in 2017. Some 60% of the price of a pint of beer is taken in VAT and alcohol duty, while VAT on the price of a bottle of gin is 76%. Wine is the biggest earner for the UK exchequer yielding over £4bn in taxes from sales in 2016. These sums accord with a September 2015 Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) study on alcohol taxes, which suggests that the annual revenue generated from alcohol taxes in the UK is “illogical and excessive.” Rather than tax alcohol the UK government taxes drinks. For instance, a unit of alcohol is taxed at 28p if it happens to be in a glass of whisky but only 8p if it is in a pint of cider. Further, if the cider is strong, the tax is 7p but if it is fizzy the tax is 34p. The tax on a unit of alcohol in a glass of wine is 20p, but if wine is sparkling, the tax is 25p. Confused? The structure of alcohol excise taxes is partly restricted by an EU Directive, which sets out different tax rates for different alcoholic beverages. Revenues from UK alcohol taxes and duty far exceed the actual direct costs of alcohol-related health and crime issues. According to the IEA study, the UK exchequer collects about £10bn a year in alcohol taxes while the direct costs of alcohol related problems to the health, police, prison services, welfare system and judiciary, amount to some £4.6bn per year. Although studies that report cost-of-alcohol data are notoriously unreliable, the IEA suggests that British drinkers contribute about £6.5bn each year to the UK exchequer and believes that, even within the current constraints, the UK tax system could more effectively target problem drinking. In a February 2017 paper the IEA describes a suggested reform of the UK’s alcohol tax policy. Findings of the 2018 study published in The Lancet suggest that risks from alcohol start from any level of regular drinking and rise with the amount being consumed and any amount of regular alcohol use can significantly shorten your life. This echoes a 2010 study also published in The Lancet, which suggested that because alcohol is so widely available it is more harmful than heroin and crack cocaine. This commentary reaffirms the global epidemic of disease, injury, social problems and death caused by alcohol and suggests an explanation why

Color in Health and Wellness Logos Most health and wellness logos want to emphasize restfulness or energy. Organizations that focus on meditation and massage typically opt for colors that create restful feelings. Those that want to evoke energy, youth, and exercise tend to use colors that stimulate the eyes and body. Green has a restful appearance that suits the brand identities of organizations that use things like meditation, yoga, and massage to create wellness. The color green sits in the middle of the color spectrum, so it has an easy balance to the human eye. This balance makes it perfect when designing logos for day spas, hotels, and wellness retreats. Green also reminds people of nature, which plays a crucial role in the branding of wellness organizations. Green, after all, is the color of thriving plants. Since people who attend wellness centers often draw a connection between health and the natural world, it makes sense to include some green in wellness center logos. A wellness center logo might also include a small amount of yellow. Yellow reminds people of sunlight, which has an emotional and logical connection to health. Without abundant sunlight, plants don’t grow and humans cannot thrive. Using too much yellow, however, can counter the restfulness of greens and soft colors. While yellow makes people think of the natural world, it also has a stimulating effect. Before choosing yellow, organizations should consider whether they want their logos to communicate restful, balanced wellness, or health created by high-energy, aerobic style exercise. Potential members will pick up on these visual clues, so it’s important to understand what an organization offers and how it wants to brand itself before choosing colors for its logo. Jeunesse Salon, one of New York City’s top day spas, does a good job of striking a balance between relaxing and energetic colors. The top half of the logo contains bright oranges and yellows that stimulate the eye. The bottom half of the logo uses green that lets the eye rest. It’s a great color combination for a day spa that wants clients to relax, but also wants to appear youthful and hip. Common Typography in Wellness Logos Nearly all top wellness organizations use logos that have round, fluid typography. Bulky, boxy letters simply do not communicate the message that a wellness hotel or wellness center wants to communicate. Serif typography, for instance, looks too heavy. It makes people think of obesity, which has become the cultural opposite of wellness. Curving lines, however, make people think of flexibility. The letters often have a Zen-like quality that reminds potential clients of meditation and relaxation. It also reminds them of the physical flexibility that yoga practitioners achieve. Yes, it takes those yogis years of training before they can twist their bodies into seemingly impossible shapes, but wellness logos usually try to communicate ideals rather than realities. Clients don’t want to think about how much time and sweat that goes into becoming flexible and fit. They need logos that remind them of their wellness goals. One & Only, one of the world’s top health resorts, uses excellent typography in its logo. The letters flow effortlessly into each other like water making its way down a stream. The logo’s thin lines also remind people of fitness. If the logo’s typography were a person, she could bend over to touch her toes without straining. That’s the kind of wellness that most logos for day spas, wellness centers, and hotels want to communicate. Imagery in Health and Wellness Logos Since day spa logos usually try to evoke natural health and beauty, they often include images of trees, lotuses, and other plants. The best and worst wellness logos use leaves to remind people that they can realign themselves with the natural world. Those symbols of nature have become ubiquitous. Other organizations choose less-obvious imagery that still make people think of natural health. For example, lotuses draw on the social psychology that connects nature with health, while also taking advantage of cultural beliefs that people living in the East (Japan, China, Korea, and the like) have better rates of health than people living in the United States and Europe.

The

lotus has such a strong cultural connection to the East that including it in a logo immediately makes people think of healthful activities such as meditation and tai chi. Other common images used in logo design for wellness centers include: fluid outlines of the human body that make people think of vigorous activity the sun, which evokes feelings of vigor and health (especially when colored bright yellow) circles that remind people of flexibility, wholeness, and the yin-yang symbol apples, which remind people of the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” while also playing on the idea that whole, natural foods offer better health than processed foods Any of these images can work in coordination with color psychology to express a brand’s unique approach to health and wellness. Creating a Wellness Logo with The Logo Company The Logo Company offers services that can help wellness organizations appeal to their target audiences. Clients start by answering questions that help the design team determine exactly what they need to communicate. Some wellness centers want to focus on high-energy services while others want to focus on relaxation. Knowing how the client wants to brand itself tells designers what strategies to use when creating initial designs. Clients get five designers, each of whom submits at least one detailed sketch. Designers then add refine their sketches and add color to create professional logos. Clients then get to choose between those logos. Instead of relying on one logo from one designer, clients get options from The Logo Company. In the end, each wellness organization gets to select a logo that matches its unique vision of health. 1180 Avenue Of The Americas, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10036 | Privacy | Contact | About | Portfolio Australian Idol winner and Eurovision contestant Guy Sebastian is set to perform at the Rural Aid’s Black Tie and Boots Ball next month, after being approached by event supporter and Gold Logie winner Grant Denyer. Mr Denyer said Sebastian was keen to get involved with the ball on Saturday, August 11, after seeing so much suffering in rural communities that he toured in.  “[Sebastian] was deeply touched and affected by a lot of the communities he saw when touring recently,” he said. “He’s seen a lot of the heartache and has had a lot of people breakdown in front of him, explaining their own personal situation. “When I picked up the phone and asked him, ‘Do you want to come along and help us raise some money?’, he was in like a shot. “It’s going to be great to have Guy Sebastian on board.”  Sebastian will be supported by local act the Heydays, who is fronted by Kyle Manning. “Having grown up in Bathurst, being married to the daughter of a cattle farmer and still living in a rural area, I know only too well the impact that drought and extreme weather can have on regional communities,” Mr Manning said. “This event is our way of giving back to our farmers, in return for everything they do for us.”  The current drought situation is hitting people everywhere across NSW, causing significant mental health problems and hardship within households.  Grant and Chezzi Denyer have both been working closely with Rural Aid to raise much needed awareness and funding for the struggling rural community.  Funds raised on the night will be put towards funding a specialised counsellor on the ground to help tackle the mental health problems associated with the drought. Tickets are $150 and single tickets or in tables of ten can be purchased. The theme is black tie and boots, so attendees are encouraged to wear boots, on a night of fabulous entertainment, delicious food and drinks.  For further information on ticketing for the event, visit the website at www.blacktieandboots.com.au/events-2/events/.   https://nnimgt-a.akamaihd.net/transform/v1/crop/frm/33jmgggMux4cQ6bJ2r3hFg4/a193cf80-ebe8-46e6-b80d-b9b1ae7ea3de.JPG/r1183_344_3701_1767_w1200_h

99 than the year 2000, which is when “web1” topped out. But that first top is coming, and when it crests, look the f*ck out. Crypto is a far more integrated into the global economy than we might suspect. In fact, I’ll toss in a corollary to this first prediction: In 2022, a major story will break that exposes a major state actor has been manipulating the crypto markets in a bid to destroy US financial markets. Oculus will be a breakout hit, but it’ll immediately be consumed in the same controversies besetting the rest of Facebook’s platforms. The company throws money and lobbyists at the problem, including enough advertising budget to mute mainstream press outrage. Apple will try to capitalize on all of this FUD as it introduces its own VR play. Regardless, the Oculus division becomes a meaningful portion of Meta’s top line, which starts the change the narrative around Facebook’s surveillance capitalism business model. Twitter changes the game. I have no particular insight into new CEO Parag Agrawal, but the company has had a long suffering relationship with its true value in the world, and I think the table is set for an acceleration of its product in ways that will surprise and even delight its most ardent fans (I count myself somewhat reluctantly among them). How might this happen? First, look for a major announcement around how the company works with developers. Next, deeper support and integration of all things crypto, in particular crypto wallets like MetaMask. And last (and related), a play in portable identity, where your Twitter ID brings value across other apps and environments. Climate has its worst – and best – year ever. Worst because while 2021 was simply awful (I mean, the year ends with a winter draught, then a historic fire in… Boulder?) things can always get worse, and they will. Best, because finally, the political will to do something about it will rise, thanks mainly to the voice of young people around the world, and in particular in the United States. The return of the office. Yes, I know, everything’s changed because of the pandemic. But truth is, we work best when we work together, and by year’s end, the “new normal” will be the old normal – most of us will go back to going into work. A healthy new percentage of workers will remain remote, but look for trend stories in the Post and Times about how that portion of the workforce is feeling left out and anxious about missing out on key opportunities, connections, and promotions. One caveat to this prediction is the emergence of some awful new variant that sends us all back into our caves, but I refuse to consider such horrors. I REFUSE. Divisions in the US reaching a boiling point. I hate even writing these words, but with the midterms in 2022 and a ’24 campaign spinning up, Trump will return to the national stage. He’ll offer a north star for Big Lie-driven tribalism, a terrifying rise in domestic terrorism and hate crimes, all fueled by torrents of racial and economic anger. I really, really hope I’m wrong here. But this feels inevitable to me. Big Tech bulks up. Despite a doubling down in anti-trust saber rattling from the EU and the Biden administration, Big Tech companies must grow, and they’ll look toward orthogonal markets to do it. Meta and Apple will buy gaming companies, Amazon will buy enterprise software companies, and Google will buy a content library. Google’s always been a bit confused about what its entertainment strategy should be. YouTube is so damn big, and its search business so bulletproof, the company hasn’t really had to play the game the way Meta, Amazon, and Apple have. That likely changes in 22. The streaming market takes a pause. The advertising business has yet to catch up with consumer behavior in the streaming television market, and as I’ve written elsewhere, the consumer experience is fracking awful. In 2022, those chickens will come home to roost. There’s only so much attention in the world, and with more than $100 billon to invest in content in 2022, something’s gotta give. Plus, if we get through Omicron and back out into the world, consumers might just find themselves doing something besides binging forgettable, algorithmically manufactured programming. I’m not predicting

onymous Brown, S.B. 06/09/1849 M Kellor, Anonymous Kellor, W. 10/10/1849 F Marra, Anonymous Marra, M.A. Misguided Muse: What a twist! “A classic twist on an old tale” — I’m sure that cliche has made its way around plenty of circles. It basically means the media in question is taking an old familiar story or character or characters, keeping some of the original thematics, and then warping the rest beyond belief in an attempt to make it seem incredibly new instead of a repackaged plotline. One of pop culture’s ways to describe this is the recent movie phenomenon of revamping classic Grimm fairytale plots with overwhelming supernatural undertones. It’s the story of Little Red Riding Hood . . . but . . . the “wolf” is actually her werewolf lover! It’s Hansel and Gretel . . . but . . . the kids are witch hunters! It’s Snow White . . . but . . . our leading princess is actually a blank-faced, helpless zombie who is eternally escorted through dark, shady forests by a chivalrous pretty-boy aristocrat and a brooding man-beast . . . oh wait . . . why does this sound familiar? Grimm isn’t the only classic plot well that has been dipped into. Shakespearean character or plot mimics have been in existence for years, and more recently, at the beginning of the 21st century, when all of his famous classics were getting re-translated into teeny-bopper look-alikes. “She’s the Man” equals “Twelfth Night.” “10 Things I Hate About You” equals “Taming of the Shrew.” My favorite Shakespearean redo was “Romeo + Juliet” in 1996, when it was executed word for original word with a warped setting of the modern world. Our own theater department used this technique when they performed “Romeo and Juliet” a couple years ago. The set and the majority of the younger characters were all dressed in modern attire, as if to transcend the timelessness of the story to the young and restless audience it was intended to reach. I prefer this version of a retelling twist, merely because I can appreciate the creative effort more. Not that I don’t enjoy the whimsical tale of girl using Elizabethan slapstick cross-dressing techniques to play soccer at a private academy, but there’s something to be said about sticking purely to an original text and still being able to mold your image around it without changing a punctuation mark. Speaking of Grimm and Shakerspearean plot-twist knockoffs, Disney has more evident transgressions with this than all the money they continually make from it. Most of the twist runs are retelling of fairy tales THEY made famous, which were then given a live-action cast and an adolescent makeover. It’s “Beauty and the Beast” . . . but . . . it’s the high school story about seeing the world from the outside of the “in” crowd! It’s “Alice in Wonderland” . . . but . . . now Alice is a smoking babe swinging around a giant sword as her clothes get continuously smaller and smaller, plus Tim Burton got his hands on it. And once again . . . must I excessively stress the existence of Shakespeare? I can’t help but speculate what the future plot twists and character complexes from our era are going to be for future generations. For example, will the classic Romeo/Juliet archetypes be overthrown by the presence of an Edward/Bella/Jacob-type love triangle — the story of star-crossed lovers replaced by the recurring examples of angsty, supernaturally gifted males fighting to the death in their antithesis over a whiny, average girl, which leaves the audience supernaturally curious as to what her suitors see in her in the first place? Yeah . . . if that’s where this is heading . . . I think I’m going to stick to the classics. Read reviews about Fuji Japanese Cuisine here!

onymous Brown, S.B. 06/09/1849 M Kellor, Anonymous Kellor, W. 10/10/1849 F Marra, Anonymous Marra, M.A. Misguided Muse: What a twist! “A classic twist on an old tale” — I’m sure that cliche has made its way around plenty of circles. It basically means the media in question is taking an old familiar story or character or characters, keeping some of the original thematics, and then warping the rest beyond belief in an attempt to make it seem incredibly new instead of a repackaged plotline.

real guest experiences. Find out what other diners are saying about Fuji Japanese Cuisine. Fantastic food and service. Highly recommended! Will visit again soon. Fantastic sushi as always, definitely my new favourite place to eat. Fantastic service and really good sushi and all at a very reasonable price, what more could you ask for. Definitely going back. Lovely local restaurant with chilled out vibes amazing food! Really reasonably priced food and drink would definitely recommend this little gem in the heart of Stokey! Quite a disappointing visit. The staff were very attentive at the beginning of our visit. We were served our starters quickly and served our mains before we were half way through our starters. Very disappointing. We felt rushed! Then we were completely left alone and not offered anything further until we asked for the bill. Overall, not a great experience. The food was good but the whole experience tainted our visit. I previously had a very good experience at Fuji so decided to take my family for Mother's Day . I have chicken Katsu bento box - the chicken was extremely dry. On top of that all the food was very bland and lacked flavour. Another amazing gem in Stoke Newington; lovely atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. The food was delicious, freshly made and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back! I am not an expert in Japanese food but I can say that the dishes we've had were yummi! Very tasty. The service was great as well. The staff is very nice and the food was amazing!!! I personally loved the philadelphia maki and the donburi. you can tell the ingredients are fresh and everything was very tasty. This easy to make sweet potato casserole recipe has been in my family for many generations. This sweet potato casserole is so easy to make. It does use canned yams instead of sweet potatoes that you have to prepare yourself. It saves a ton of time and none of my family members have ever complained! It’s as simple as heating them on the stovetop and adding simple ingredients. It also has a streusel topping, mini marshmallows, and added honey to enhance the flavors in this already flavorful dish. This sweet potato casserole is not only easy to make but it’s a dish that is perfect for Holidays and even potlucks. It takes very little time to make and it’s something that guests always expect to see at Holiday dinners (in my family anyway!). You can also save cleanup time by using disposable foil trays to make and serve this in – no added dishes and no need to track your dish down later! It can also be changed to suit personal tastes by leaving the streusel topping and the mini marshmallows off or by leaving them on. This recipe calls for honey and if you left it out it would still taste good. My grandmother always added honey to her casserole and my mother always does the same – it’s really up to you! It enhances the flavor of the dish, so you should at least try it! Homemade sweet potato casserole with streusel topping and mini marshmallows. Melt together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and the 1/2 cup of reserved syrup from the can in a medium-sized pot. Add in the yams and mash. Heat until well combined. Butter the bottom and sides of 9x13 casserole dish. You can also place parchment paper on the bottom of the dish. Evenly spread the mixture in the casserole dish. Drizzle the honey over the sweet potatoes. Layer 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top of mixture. Prepare the streusel topping by adding melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and salt into a small bowl and mixing until well combined. Crumble and spread the streusel topping evenly. Top off with the remaining mini marshmallows. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Williston headed east last Friday for a three-day tournament at St. Sebastian’s School in Needham, MA.

Tadeusz LUBELSKI Historian,

critic and cinema professor at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Tadeusz Lubelski is a specialist in Polish cinema who has devoted several pieces of work and articles to Andrzej Wajda’s oeuvre. His book, ‘A History of Polish Cinema’, has just been published in French by Septentrion’s éditions universitaires. (thursday 12 October 2017 – 19:00) || on the site of CINEMATEK Conference followed by a screening of the film Everything Must Go (Wszystko na sprzedaż) The indispensable film maker who evokes a sense of Polishness marked by the numerous scansions of History, Andrzej Wajda was also an artist in the broad sense of the term, a man whose entire oeuvre bears witness to the constant desire for cinema, in all its forms, to diversify and renew itself. The conference will address his filmography both from the angle of building a new ethics of looking, made possible by the process of destalinization and the thawing of political relations after the Cold War, and that of a syncretism which is constantly asserted and adopted. It will therefore explore the manner in which Wajda, by delving into his own literary and artistic heritage, as well as into the various facets of universal culture, never ceased to experiment with cinematographic themes and aesthetics. He also managed, in more than half a century of work, to synthesise audio-visual resources in an exceptional way. What’s more, he went beyond what was often a Manichean duality between eastern and western Europe. Dominique NASTA Professor of history and the aesthetics of cinema at the ULB, Nasta is the author of several articles and works of reference, including ‘Contemporary Romanian Cinema: The History of an Unexpected Miracle’ (Wallflower, 2014). "Andrzej Wajda, ou les paradoxes d’un cinéaste d’état" ("Andrzej Wajda, or the paradoxes of being a state film maker"), by Jeremi SZANIAWSKI (monday 13 Novembre 2017 – 19:00) || on the site of CINEMATEK Conference followed by the screening of the film Without Anesthesia (Bez znieczulenia) Throughout his illustrious career, Andrzej Wajda weaved between the troubled waters of communist and post-communist Poland. In troubling fashion, his work reflects the various stages of the dominant ideology in the country, starting with the thawing of political relations after the Cold War and ending with the advent of neoliberalism. Between the discourse of a persecuted martyr and demonstrable political opportunism, Wajda delivered an abundant filmography, the likes of which any ‘official’ film maker would envy. This is the opportunity to ask questions about authenticity and bad faith.

The GalNAcβ1→3Gal receptor site in 1 Gn is recognized by functionally similar adhesins on Streptococcus gordonii, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Prevotella loescheii, Veillonella atypica, Eikenella corrodens, and Actinomyces naeslundii. These adhesins are of various molecular sizes, and the species bearing the adhesins compete with each other for binding to the receptor polysaccharide (72, 73, 154). Thus, it is postulated that coaggregation and coadherence are integral to communication between species and help to establish patterns of spatiotemporal development. Early ColonizersViridans streptococci (Fig. 1, bottom, purple circles), especially S. gordonii, are ideal model organisms to study because they are early colonizers, they coaggregate with a variety of oral bacteria, they bind to several host molecules, and many are genetically transformable. Streptococcus is the only genus of oral bacteria that demonstrates extensive intrageneric coaggregation as well as intergeneric coaggregation (73, 78). The ability to bind to other early colonizers and to host molecules (Fig. 1, lower half) may confer an advantage on these viridans streptococci in establishing early dental plaque. S. gordonii binds to salivary agglutinin glycoproteins by SspA/B (37), to alpha-amylase by AbpA (14, 132), and to the α2-3-linked sialic acid termini of O-linked oligosaccharides of host glycoconjugates by Hsa (142). Hsa has 113 serine-rich dodecapeptide repeats (142) and may be the sialic acid-binding adhesin involved in utilization of sialic acid as a nutrient, as has been shown for several viridans streptococci (17). S. gordonii binds to acidic proline-rich proteins (PRPs) via the ProGln termini of PRPs (52). Acidic PRPs account for 25 to 30% of the total proteins in saliva; they regulate calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite crystal equilibrium and thus contribute to stabilizing tooth integrity. They are encoded by host loci PRH1 and PRH2 and comprise five variants of 150 or 171 residues (63). One of these, acidic PRP-1, has been studied in some detail and may serve as a nutrient source for early colonizers. S. gordonii rapidly degrades the 150-amino-acid protein into two detectable peptides, the 105-amino-acid peptide derived from the amino-terminal region and a peptide corresponding to the 40 C-terminal amino acids, which are further degraded to oligopeptides (88). The pentapeptide expected to result from the intervening region was not detected, but a synthetic peptide of the same sequence (Arg106Gly107Arg108Pro109Gln110) caused detachment of A. naeslundii from PRP-1-coated latex beads, suggesting a mechanism for competition with other early colonizers (88). Thus, PRPs are not only receptors for binding bacteria (Fig. 1), they are also a ready nutrient source with an ecological bonus of modulating the adherence of potentially competing bacteria such as A. naeslundii (Fig. 1, lower right) at the tooth surface. Oral bacteria capable of binding to a receptor and subsequently utilizing the receptor as a nutrient are suited to this task because they have diverse mechanisms for attachment. They can bind to other host receptors or to other bacteria while degrading the PRP nutrient. The numerous interactions between streptococci, host molecules, and other early colonizers

Oral bacteria capable of binding to a receptor and subsequently utilizing the receptor as a nutrient are suited to this task because they have diverse mechanisms for attachment. They can bind to other host receptors or to other bacteria while degrading the PRP nutrient. The numerous interactions between streptococci, host molecules, and other early colonizers

demonstrate multifactorial communication between bacteria and their environment. Early-colonizing bacteria have been shown to regulate gene expression in response to a saliva-containing environment. In saliva, S. gordonii DL1 increases expression of sspA/B (39), encoding surface proteins that bind to salivary agglutinin (37), an interaction depicted at the bottom of Fig. 1. Thus, streptococci suspended in saliva may bind to salivary agglutinin and elicit enhanced expression of sspA/B. Several other saliva-regulated genes include S. gordonii hppA, encoding an oligopeptide-binding lipoprotein, a homologue of the Streptococcus mitis glucose kinase gene gki, and a homologue of Lactococcus lactis clpE, encoding a member of the Clp protease family (39). These saliva-regulated proteins represent only a small assortment of the expected total proteins regulated by environmental conditions. They do, however, indicate that S. gordonii responds, at the transcriptional level, to elements from its natural oral environment. Considering that each of the approximately 500 species in the oral bacterial community (Fig. 1) has such a potential for gene regulation in response to host-produced molecules and physical interactions with other bacteria, the complexity of possible interactions within the oral environment and the number of opportunities for cell-to-cell communication become daunting. F. nucleatum and Late ColonizersThe bacterial species shown in Fig. 1 are placed in either of two general categories, early colonizers or late colonizers. This placement is based on the species of bacteria identified in dental plaque during temporal sampling after oral hygiene procedures were conducted (109, 115, 137). Fusobacterium nucleatum, however, is unusual and is intentionally placed at the border between early and late colonizers (Fig. 1) for the following reasons. First, F. nucleatum is the most numerous gram-negative species in healthy sites, and its numbers increase markedly in periodontally diseased sites (109). It is always present whenever Treponema denticola and Porphyromonas gingivalis are also present, suggesting that its presence predates that of the other two species and may be required for their colonization (137). Second, F. nucleatum coaggregates with all of the early colonizers and the late colonizers (4, 77). The bacteria representing early colonizers coaggregate with only a specific set of other early colonizers but not with all of them and generally not with any of the late colonizers (73, 79, 154). Although all the late colonizers coaggregate with F. nucleatum, they generally do not coaggregate with each other. A few exceptions, such as T. denticola coaggregating with P. gingivalis, have been reported (158) (Fig. 1, top right). Thus, F. nucleatum acts as a bridge between early and late colonizers, which may partially explain why fusobacteria are so numerous in samples from both healthy and diseased sites. The cognate receptors (Fig. 1, blue rectangles) on the surface of the partners of F. nucleatum display functional similarity. They are depicted as competing for binding with the same F. nucleatum adhesins (Fig. 1, upper half). This idea is based on the observation that spontaneous mutants of F. nucleatum which were selected solely on the basis of being unable to coaggregate with P. gingivalis had also lost the ability to coaggregate with all of the lactose-inhibitable coaggregation partners but retained the ability to coaggregate with other partners (4). Just as these receptors exhibit functional similarity, adhesins recognizing the same 1 Gn receptor polysaccharide on S. oralis and S. sanguis (Fig. 1, lower half) exhibit functional similarity. The lactose-inhibitable coaggregations (Fig. 1, blue rectangles) between F. nucleatum and its partners appear to be mediated by the same galactose-binding adhesin that mediates attachment of F. nucleatum to mammalian cells, including human buccal epithelial cells and gingival and periodontal ligament fibrobl

es la aparición de las bicicletas por la ciudad, de igual manera, la parte final del mismo habla de la electricidad y de los nuevos inventos de la electricidad. Salto al imaginario tanguero argentino El músico y poeta bonaerense Ángel Villoldo copia y registra a su nombre dicho tango en Argentina años después, en el año 1910. Este tango se considera uno de los primeros tangos y madre del tango argentino, una de las coplas más antiguas y puras, de los que se denomina el proto-tango o tangos primigenios. La partitura del tango apareció en una publicación de la revista Blanco y Negro del año 1898 seguido del nombre de M.Palacios. Esto ocurriría al año siguiente, ya que la letra fue original para su coro de 1897, cuyo libreto o tiras fueron impresas en la Tipografía de D.

es la aparición de las bicicletas por la ciudad, de igual manera, la parte final del mismo habla de la electricidad y de los nuevos inventos de la electricidad. Salto al imaginario tanguero argentino El músico y poeta bonaerense Ángel Villoldo copia y registra a su nombre dicho tango en Argentina años después, en el año 1910. Este tango se considera uno de los primeros tangos y madre del tango argentino, una de las coplas más antiguas y puras, de los que se denomina el proto-tango o tangos primigenios. La partitura del tango apareció en una publicación de la revista Blanco y Negro del año 1898 seguido del nombre de M.Palacios. Esto ocurriría al año siguiente, ya que la letra fue original para su coro de 1897, cuyo libreto o tiras fueron impresas en la Tipografía de D.

disponen entre el 50 al 70% del área comercial total de un centro comercial. Los centros comerciales con tiendas anclas han tenido más éxito que aquellos sin ellas, ya que usualmente esas tiendas atraen más la atención de las personas que las otras tiendas más pequeñas de los centros comerciales. En los primitivos centros comerciales, los supermercados eran el tipo más común de tienda ancla, debido a la frecuencia con que se visitan. Sin embargo, investigaciones sobre el comportamiento de los consumidores revelaron que la mayoría de las viajes al supermercado no se convertían en visitas a las tiendas contiguas. A partir de 2005, el declive en popularidad de los grandes almacenes convencionales obligó a los gestores de los centros comerciales a re-anclar con otro tipo de comercio o relacionar el desarrollo comercial con el desarrollo residencial para asegurar una clientela propia. Los desafíos a que se enfrentaron las grandes cadenas de tiendas departamentales han conseguido que los supermercados vuelvan a considerarse como tiendas ancla en centros comerciales dentro de las ciudades.

External links 1924 films Films directed by Michael Curtiz Austrian silent feature films Austrian black-and-white films Lena Rewell, född 1934 i Finland är en finländsk textilkonstnär och formgivare. Rewell växte upp som dotter till en textilingenjör och hennes bror blev professor i textil. I ungdom fick hon ofta följa med sin far till hans jobb och kom då i kontakt med tygproduktionen. Hon började mest som lek plocka med stuvbitarna och försökte passa ihop tygstuvarna till föremål. För att få en bättre teknisk konstnärlig bildning studerade hon  konst vid Ateneum 1957-1960. Hennes pappa drev 1960-1973 en fabrik som tillverkade garn. Hon var delaktig i verksamheten vid fabriken och med tiden väcktes ett intresse att skapa föremål i ull som kom att bli ett signum för hennes textilkonst. Efter tiden vid Ateneum hyrde hon källarlokal där hon inledde en ateljé med plats för en vävstol. Hon startade företaget Lena Rewell som marknadsförde hennes ateljéproduktion som första tiden huvudsakligen bestod av handgjorda mohairfiltar, halsdukar och textilier. Hennes företag växte och snart drev hon två butiker och med ett 20-tal anställda i ateljén och i ett väveri i Tammerfors. Hon exporterade sina produkter över hela världen och till hennes större kunder hörde Christian Dior som använde hennes tyger till plädar och morgonrockar. Under 1960- och 1970-talet utförde hon på frilansbasis bomullstygsmönster för Finlayson och Tampella. Hon lämnade över verksamheten till sin dotter Dita Eklund 2017.

so. He shows up in "Mac's Big Break", when he appears on Dennis and Dee's inaugural podcast, remarking about his life as a homeless person - during this episode he reveals that he stopped believing in God since "a Chinaman stole my kidney ". He also shows up in "Dee Gives Birth" because Frank was trying "to cast a wider net" in finding out the identity of Dee's baby's father and he considered Rickety Cricket to be "the wildcard". He shows up at his high school reunion cleaned up, claiming to have returned to being a priest. However, he actually uses the opportunity to steal jewelry from the other alumni. The other alumni mock him and physically eject him when it is discovered he has ring worms, but his rants about how Dee loved and left him leads the cool crowd to reject her. In the season eight premiere, "Pop—Pop: The Final Solution", he is working at a local pound for community service. He has a new scar over his now-blind left eye, which he says was from a "skirmish" with a stray chocolate lab, in which he paralyzed the dog; later on he makes numerous references to raping and being raped by feral dogs. He claims to be a dog executioner, but then admits he's a janitor. In Season 9, he suffers horrific facial burns when he's locked in Mac and Dennis's apartment during "The Gang Squashes Their Beefs" when a fire breaks out ironically, he was not even invited because the Gang didn't consider him someone they'd wrongedleaving the entire left side of his head covered in scar tissue. In Season 10 when Charlie and Mac seek him out to help make their old friend Psycho Pete crazy and fun again, he is fully homeless and describes in disgusting detail the sex acts he must perform to earn money for alcohol and other drugs frequently remarking that it will cost a six pack of beer for him to perform oral sex. Also from Season 10 onwards his crack-addicted life on the streets has resulted in him losing many of his teeth. After having half of his head nearly burned off, he also stops giving any thought whatsoever to his physical appearance, with long, filthy, matted hair and scraggly beard. While he occasionally gives himself wipe-down showers in the bar's bathroom, he is almost always covered in an extensive coating of dirt and grime. In Season 11's "Dee Made a Smut Film", Cricket says that a cat bit off one of his toes at some point, and describes in exacting detail how he was involved in a dog orgy almost bragging about it. Cricket is given his own storyline in the Season 12 episode "A Crickets Tale". In the episode, his father finds him and gives him a chance to turn his life around and work at his company. Cricket accepts the job offer and starts turning his life around and meets a woman he falls in love with. However, it turns out that Cricket was halluciating from PCP and that the woman is actually a dog. Dejected, Cricket decides to turn back to his old lifestyle. In the episode, the gang casually mentions that they injected a GPS pet tracking chip into Cricket's body, without his knowledge. Larry Meyers[ edit ] Dr. Dee goes back to her high school to talk to Dr. He tells her that he was an alcoholic and that she must give up. He also reminds her of a musical she was in, Frankenstein. Later he trips and gets injured as a result of Charlie becoming a member of the school's custodial staff and waxing Dr. He does not appear again in the series due to the injury. Dee takes over as a substitute. He fires both of them in the next episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth" because Dee took her students on a field trip to Paddy's Pub to watch Mac and Dennis's Lethal Weapon 5 movie and because Charlie's mentoring of a student named Richie led to him dressing up in blackface after watching the movie.

that weekdays are the perfect time to start an auction to have it end by the weekend. This means that you should be able to tell any potential customer exactly what it is you have for sale. Most of the time was spent grinding down the broken original rusty studs a bit which I did with a dremel tool. For a seamless transition in the way. Fire phone owners get free unlimited storage additional features. Check out the link below platform there's nearly as much management overhead like DropBox. There’s a reason why estimating a home’s value is a specialized process that’s typically executed by a licensed professional (also known as an appraiser) – it’s not easy to determine the fair-market value of a home in a particular point in time. Dozens of factors influence how much an average buyer might be willing to pay for a specific property, including the overall housing market and economy, interest rates, the condition of the home, its precise location, the gross living area (GLA) or square footage of the home, whether it’s been updated since the last sale, how many homes have sold recently nearby and their sales price, school districts, crime ratings … you get the picture. So how do you know if the price you’re setting as a seller is competitive? And as a buyer, how can you be sure that you’re paying a fair price for a house, especially if it’s one you really want? You’ll need to take a few different things into consideration before you can make that call for certain, and the only way to know for sure is to talk to a professional about it – either an appraiser (which is going to cost money for their time) or a real estate agent you can trust. But if you’d like to do some research on your own, here are a few places to start. If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling a home at all, then you’re probably familiar with Zillow’s Zestimate tool. It’s the real estate portal’s estimated home value based on data and proprietary algorithms, and as Zillow points out, it’s a starting point for determining a home’s value – but you definitely shouldn’t consider it gospel truth. If the home’s information hasn’t been updated in a long time and the data is incorrect, or if the condition of the house is well above average or below average, or the house is an anomaly of some sort within the neighborhood, then the Zestimate is likely to be off by at least a little bit, and possibly a lot. The Zestimate isn’t the only online home value calculator out there. Some of them are more accurate in some parts of the country than others. A real estate brokerage calculator might be able to incorporate more data points than the Zestimate can access. For example, there are some areas of the country where Zillow might not be able to access listing price of a home if the home was put on the market, sat on the market for a few weeks or even a few months, and then was taken off the market, but a brokerage might have access to that data. There are also transactions that take place before a home is ever listed on the market. Consider these numbers a jumping-off point rather than a final answer. Sometimes it takes local home price estimates a few weeks or even a couple of months to catch up to the reality of the market, due to lags in public record data recording and other factors. This means that the market might be heating up or cooling down without getting reported in any news outlets or reflected by home sales data – which means you might not know that the heating or cooling factor is even happening! Keep tabs on the homes that are listed for sale in your neighborhood or ZIP code – this is really easy to do today; you just have to sign up for listing alerts via your preferred portal or even the MLS (multiple listing service). Pay attention to what’s happening to the homes listed for sale: Are they going under contract within a couple of days of listing, for over asking price? This is an indication that you’re in a seller’s market. Are they lingering on the market for a week or two and then selling for just about exactly asking price? That looks more like a balanced market. Or are homes sitting on the market for a few weeks before the seller reduces the price – possibly more than once – and finally sells the home for below the original asking price? That’s a good sign you’re in a buyer’s market. Depending on how active the market is, how many homes are in the market overall, and how many

. Accordingly, these envied spaces within the targeted unitary state could theoretically provide for themselves in the economic sense by capitalizing off of their privileged advantage(s), whereas the remaining less-important federal constituents would either be tied more closely to the central authority and/or become dependent on the strings-attached patronization of the same and/or separate foreign party. Another reason why the loyalty of each federal entity is so highly sought after is because they have a chance at influencing the affairs of the entire country via their position in the national legislature. Federalized units typically have representation within the governing center that their autonomous counterparts in other administrative constructions lack, thus giving their patrons a stake in pan-federative affairs and opening up the prospects that they can expand their influence beyond their current proxy holdings and into other rivals’ fiefdoms. The Sovereignty Continuum The federal fracturing that results from this arrangement produces unique internal and external dynamics for the central authority and the various federal statelets, especially when measured in terms of the sovereignty continuum. To elaborate, this concept holds that all states have either a unitary, autonomous, or federalized composition before experiencing secessionism, and that there is a generally unidirectional domestic progression within them that moves along the following continuum: Unitary à Autonomous à Federalized à Secessionism This process may not be naturally occurring, and in most cases it requires the involvement of an external interfering state that employs various instruments such as NGOs in order to provoke and/or guide selected domestic elements in agitating for certain scenarios. It’s possible, whether with or without foreign manipulation, for a unitary state to experience secessionism from a territory that has neither been granted autonomy nor federal status, just as it’s possible for the unitary state to become federalized without first experiencing various internal autonomies. Identity Federalism fits into this model by being the most extreme manifestation of federalism and representing the point right before an outright (multisided) secessionist crisis could break out, which in that case would existentially endanger the nature of the state and place it but one step away from the threat of formal dissolution. It’s possible for a state to revert backwards along the continuum, but not only is this exceptionally rare, but it often runs the strong risk of prompting a crisis either immediately afterwards or sometime in the future. The pattern is that the central authority typically issues a unilateral announcement that’s enforced by the threat or use of superior military resources, but the historical memory of administrative separateness can later be used as the grounds for sparking a Hybrid War, as was the case in both Eritrea and the Province of Kosovo after Ethiopia and Yugoslavia (Serbia), respectively, rescinded these aforementioned territories’ privileges. As a general rule of thumb, once a state advances along the sovereignty continuum, there’s no peaceful way to go back, which is why most governments fight tooth and nail in doing whatever they can to prevent this from happening and even sometimes resorting to bloodshed like in the recent case of Ukraine (which will be discussed in Part III). In terms of the Identity Federalized country’s internal relations, most of the geostrategic and geo-economic federal fiefdoms that were created by the interfering government(s) function as undeclared secessionist states, all but legally independent from the central governing authority. As regards the other federal units whose conception was either unplanned or of lesser importance to the external architects of the Identity Federalization project, they can either emulate their geostrategic and geo-economic counterparts by coming under the tutelage of the interfering government, its allies, and/or its rivals for whatever reason it may be, or turn out to resemble autonomous states due to their disproportionate dependence on the federal center. Concerning the federal government, it will inevitably come under the sponsorship of one or a couple of actors that provide it with subsidies, donations, foreign aid, and general assistance in seeking to ingratiate themselves with the legally recognized pan-federative power, no matter how objectively weak its influence may be over some or all of its constituent units. These supportive actors are motivated by self-interested reasons, wanting to either gain a foothold in the fragmented state which they hadn’t earlier been able to seize amidst their rivals’

race for the scraps, or intent on helping the de-jure national government revive its control over most or the rest of the federalized fiefdoms in order to restore the pre-Identity Federalism domestic and international model that had earlier prevailed. The Normative Paradox Identity Federalism and secessionism in and of themselves are not necessarily negative or destabilizing developments, it’s just that they become so when they’re harnessed as strategic weapons by a foreign power (which in most instances is the US). The litmus test for deciding whether or not a given Identity Federalist or secessionist proposal is “good” or “bad” rests on the historical circumstances in which they’re made and whether or not one side or the other received external assistance prior to or at the onset of the crisis. Particularly, this is in regards to whether the Identity Federalist- or secessionist-proclaiming group was acting as a proxy on behalf of another state or if the reactionary authorities received support from abroad in cracking down on a legitimately grassroots movement. All of this is relevant only to the initial conditions at or before the conflict, since it’s a given that the resultant security dilemma and the geopolitics of the New Cold War will lead to the involvement of other foreign actors after the initial red line has been crossed by an aggressive interfering party. Considering everything that’s been described thus far, the Normative Paradox is as follows: When an external actor supports an Identity Federalist or secessionist movement, then most central governments meet the prerequisite of gaining normative support in justifying their militantly reactive unifying actions; likewise, when an external actor supports the militantly reactive unifying actions of a central government, then most Identity Federalist or secessionist movements meet the prerequisite of gaining normative support in justifying their political cause. It should be emphasized once more that the Normative Paradox is entirely dependent on the conflict’s initial conditions, particularly in terms of which side the interfering foreign actor supports. Their destabilizing involvement in the domestic affairs of a sovereign state can quickly set off a chain reaction of counter-responses by their geopolitical rivals, escalating what otherwise should have been an internal issue into an international crisis. High-profile examples of this can be seen on both sides of the Paradox, whether it’s in normative support to Identity Federalists and/or secessionists or to the central governments that are cracking down on such movements. Concerning the former, the US provided copious back-end military support to Tbilisi prior to Saakashvili’s invasion of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which thereby invalidated any normative support that the Georgian government may have claimed to have in the conflict and correspondingly granted it to the victimized nations that it attacked. Similarly, the US orchestrated the urban terrorism of EuroMaidan and the consequent coup in Kiev, afterwards egging on the hyper-nationalist ‘authorities’ to ethnically purge the country of Russians. This pushed the citizens of Crimea to hold a referendum and reunify with Russia, and it also led the people of Donbass to revolt against the Western-imposed central government. In both instances, the Identity Federalist-secessionists have complete normative legitimacy, while Kiev has none whatsoever because the US’ support for it was the whole reason why the conflict erupted in the first place. On the other side of the Paradox, the US has supported regime change and ethno-regional separatist and/or Identity Federalizing elements in Syria, Pakistan, and Myanmar, for but a few of the examples that immediately come to mind, and in each one, the responding Great Powers have been totally justified in aiding their partners’ militantly reactive unifying actions. Russia and Iran’s multisectoral assistance to the democratically elected and legitimate government of Syria is predicated on the fact that it’s fighting against an American-organized regime change attempt, no matter if it was originally disguised as a “democratic uprising’ prior to revealing its true terrorist nature. China’s support to Pakistan and (formerly to) Myanmar is similar, except that each of them have been responding more to ethno-regional separatist and Identity Federalizing forces than to outright regime change actors, although the line between the two can often be blurred.

El 1818 ingressà al convent de Jesús Extramurs de Palma i, a partir de 1826, va ser catedràtic interí de retòrica de la Universitat Literària de Mallorca. Exclaustrat el 1835, va fer classes d'humanitats castellanes a l'Institut Balear i entre el 1842 i el 1848, va ser catedràtic interí de lògica, gramàtica, moral i religió. Aquests anys col·laborà amb Joan Gamundí en l'ordenació de la Biblioteca Pública de Palma i fundà, amb altres professors, un col·legi-gimnàs d'interins de primer ensenyament. Va ser vocal de la Comissió de Monuments de Balears (1855) i entrà com a redactor a El Iris del pueblo el mateix any. Després de la revolució de 1868 va ser proposat en diverses ocasions com a diputat a Corts pel Partit Republicà Federal, amb Miquel Quetglas i Bauzà i va ser, dues vegades, president de la Junta de primer Ensenyament. La seva obra influí notablement el Partit Democràtic i els republicans federals mallorquins. Obra El 1848 escriví la seva obra més important, Cristianos-Socialistas, on, influït per Felicité Robert de Lamennais, Ètienne Cabet i Narcís Monturiol, relacionà el cristianisme catòlic amb les teories dels socialistes utòpics europeus i del grup barceloní Icària. Aquesta obra disgustà el bisbe Rafael Manso que l'obligà a una retractació: Explicaciones que, en descargo de su conciencia y rectificación de sus ideas, presentó el autor del folleto "Cristianos-Socialistas" al Ilmo Sr. Obispo de Mallorca D. Rafael Manso, que el prelat tampoc no acceptà i que no fou publicat fins al 1855, en el temps del bisbe Miquel Salvà. És l'autor també del Discurso en la bendición de la bandera de la Milicia Nacional Voluntaria de Palma de Mallorca (1856).

He currently resides in San Francisco. His music has been compared to that of Brian Wilson, Velvet Underground, Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen. Musical career Kelley Stoltz was born in New York City in 1971 and grew up in Birmingham, Michigan. He moved to New York City in his early twenties. While living in New York in the mid-1990s, Stoltz served as an intern with Jeff Buckley's management company where he worked as a "fan-mail" sorter. In the late 1990s he relocated to San Francisco and began his own musical career. Stoltz recorded his first album The Past Was Faster in 1999, released on Telegraph Records. Stoltz self-released his second album Antique Glow in 2001. The original release was 300 vinyl LPs in hand-painted sleeves. Later the album gained wider distribution when it was released by Jackpine Social Club in the US, Beautiful Happiness in the UK and Raoul Records in Australia. His next project was recorded in the last week of 2001: a track by track cover of Echo & the Bunnymen's Crocodiles album recorded on his 8-track tape recorder. In late 2003, Stoltz toured Australia for the first time and recorded a 4 track direct to disc EP at Corduroy Records. In 2004, Mojo Magazine gave Antique Glow a four (out of five) star review and featured an article on Stoltz in their "Mojo Rising" column. In 2005, Stoltz signed to

iono barokową latarnię, podobna góruje nad kalenicą nawy. Gładkie powierzchnie kamiennych ścian pokryte są precyzyjną siatką spoin i wzbogacone monumentalnymi akcentami plastycznymi. W przyziemiu stosunkowo potężnej wieży mieści się sklepiona krzyżowo cela, niedostępna od zewnątrz (pierwotnie była otwarta do wnętrza nawy), ponad nią natomiast – na piętrze empora, również w pomieszczeniu sklepionym, dostępnym schodami w grubości muru. Empora ta posiada we wschodniej, wybrzuszonej ścianie płytką apsydę, przesklepioną półkoliście, przeprutą okienkami otwartymi do wnętrza kościoła. Empory w kościołach niewielkich mogły być pomocne podczas sprawowania liturgii, np. w okresie świąt Wielkanocy; mogły też stanowić miejsce zarezerwowane dla możnego obecnego w kościele podczas nabożeństwa. Ale niekiedy – np. w datowanym na lata 1170–1220 kościele w Wysocicach – kształtowano je omal na pewno w celu zapewnienia możnemu schronienia podczas zamieszek czy napadów. Wysocicka empora oglądana od strony nawy czyni wrażenie jakby bunkra wystającego ze ściany wieży na wysokości około 3 m nad posadzką. Wystrój architektoniczny Kościół wysocicki zachował się w całości nie tylko we wszystkich swych pierwotnych częściach składowych, ale również z pełnym i stosunkowo bogatym wystrojem architektonicznym.

iono barokową latarnię, podobna góruje nad kalenicą nawy. Gładkie powierzchnie kamiennych ścian pokryte są precyzyjną siatką spoin i wzbogacone monumentalnymi akcentami plastycznymi. W przyziemiu stosunkowo potężnej wieży mieści się sklepiona krzyżowo cela, niedostępna od zewnątrz (pierwotnie była otwarta do wnętrza nawy), ponad nią natomiast – na piętrze empora, również w pomieszczeniu sklepionym, dostępnym schodami w grubości muru. Empora ta posiada we wschodniej, wybrzuszonej ścianie płytką apsydę, przesklepioną półkoliście, przeprutą okienkami otwartymi do wnętrza kościoła. Empory w kościołach niewielkich mogły być pomocne podczas sprawowania liturgii, np. w okresie świąt Wielkanocy; mogły też stanowić miejsce zarezerwowane dla możnego obecnego w kościele podczas nabożeństwa. Ale niekiedy – np. w datowanym na lata 1170–1220 kościele w Wysocicach – kształtowano je omal na pewno w celu zapewnienia możnemu schronienia podczas zamieszek czy napadów. Wysocicka empora oglądana od strony nawy czyni wrażenie jakby bunkra wystającego ze ściany wieży na wysokości około 3 m nad posadzką. Wystrój architektoniczny Kościół wysocicki zachował się w całości nie tylko we wszystkich swych pierwotnych częściach składowych, ale również z pełnym i stosunkowo bogatym wystrojem architektonicznym.

Jezusa. Matka Boska przedstawiona jest na leżąco, co właściwe jest przedstawieniom wczesnośredniowiecznym. Półsiedzącą Madonnę w scenach narodzenia zaczęto przedstawiać dużo później. Nad żłóbkiem Jezusa nachylają się łby wołu i osła, co ma symbolizować stajenkę. Po lewej składają hołd dwaj święci. Pierwszym jest św. Norbert w szatach biskupich. Drugiego, przez brak atrybutów, nie sposób zidentyfikować. Jest to jednak na pewno święty, nie fundator, jako że jego głowę otacza nimb. Analogie do tego portalu można znaleźć na północnym tympanonie z kościoła św. Trójcy i NMP w Strzelnie. Ołtarz i obraz Łaskami słynący obraz Matki Bożej Wysocickiej malowany jest farbą olejną na płótnie na podobieństwo obrazu Madonny Częstochowskiej. Jest datowany na I połowę XVII wieku. Oprawny w złoconą – drewnianą ramę, której wewnętrzne wymiary wynoszą: 68 cm szerokości i 86 cm wysokości. Prawdopodobne jest, że został umieszczony w centralnej części zachowanego do dziś wczesnobarokowego ołtarza stiukowego. Na początku XVIII wieku obraz przeniesiono do nowego ołtarza, zbudowanego z drzewa modrzewiowego w stylu późnego baroku, który ustawiono tuż przed ołtarzem stiukowym – w prezbiterium. W latach 1956–1957 usunięto z kościoła ołtarz drewniany. Odrestaurowano natomiast ołtarz stiukowy i ponownie umieszczono w nim obraz, z którego zdjęto metalową sukienkę (sukienka w pierwszej połowie XVIII w. była najprawdopodobniej srebrna). Źródła historyczne nie wspominają natomiast nic o koronacji obrazu, a więc płaskorzeźbione korony stanowiły po prostu obok sukienek – ozdobę obrazu. Podczas przeprowadzonej w latach 1960–1964 konserwacji stwierdzono, że pierwotny wizerunek N.M. Panny został przemalowany – twarz Maryi nabrała wyrazu charakterystycznego dla malarstwa późnobarokowego. Prawdopodobnie stało się to podczas przenosin obrazu do nowego drewnianego ołtarza. Po usunięciu warstwy przemalowania, odkryło się oblicze N.M. Panny bardzo podobne do obrazu z Częstochowy. Kult Wysocickiej Maryi rozpoczął się prawdopodobnie już w pierwszej połowie XIII wieku. Związany był zapewne z pochodzącą z tego okresu rzeźbą „Madonny z Wysocic”. Pomimo braku źródeł pisanych, potwierdzających ten fakt można przypuszczać, że kult ten rozwijał się i trwał w następnych stuleciach – przynajmniej lokalnie. W I połowie XVIII wieku kult N. M. Panny z Wysocic wszedł w fazę rozkwitu. Do sanktuarium zaczęły napływać liczne wota i dary. Sytuacja ta miała miejsce aż do III rozbioru Polski. Ponadto 28 września 1727 r. założono w parafii Arcybractwo Różańca Świętego Najświętszego Imienia Jezus i Najświętszej Maryi Panny oraz za zgodą stolicy apostolskiej ustanowiono odpust uprzywilejowany, odp

Among others, it is gyrencephalic and has an appreciable amount of white matter. These features occur in other large brain species (for example, elephants, cetaceans, and large carnivores; cf.:http://brainmaps.org/) and are not in themselves defining features for primate brains. Nevertheless, they do usefully set apart primate brains from the lissencephalic and white matter-poor brains of rats and mice. Accordingly, this chapter focuses on several aspects of white matter (WM) organization in macaque monkeys. The WM in primates has long been known to have suborganization and compartments (“tracts”) (as reviewed in [1]). These have traditionally been identified on the basis of origin and target (for example, “corticospinal tract”). WM organization is most frequently investigated from classical myelin stains [2], diffusion MR imaging, and tractography (as reviewed in [3]), or, for nonhuman primates (NHP), labeled profiles after injection of anterograde tracers (as reviewed in [1]). Antibodies against neurofilaments (e.g., SMI32 or SMI312) can also be used [4]. Often overlooked is the fact that some WM tracts can effectively be visualized by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for calcium-binding proteins (calbindin, calretinin, or parvalbumin). These tracts include some callosally projecting axons and some corticofugal projections, originating from parvalbumin-positive (PV+) pyramidal neurons in motor and other cortical areas, as well as thalamocortical projections from PV+ thalamic projection neurons. Importantly, visualization of neural structures by IHC for PV and the other calcium-binding proteins is a widely applicable technique and, in particular, can be used on immersion-fixed postmortem tissues. This is a definite advantage for morphofunctional investigations of human brains and allows (1) for easier extrapolation between human brains and those of the experimentally more accessible NHPs, (2) for assessment of neural changes between normal and abnormal conditions, and (3) for at least partial validation of tractography imaging data by the histological “gold standard.” This chapter focuses on three PV+ WM compartments (callosal, corticofugal, and thalamocortical) and the distribution of their likely cells of origin (see schematic in Figure 1). In addition, data from tracer injections relevant to the trajectory of callosal axons are included.

The data presented here are derived from four macaque brains histologically sectioned and reacted for PV, and two additional macaque brains with injections of the anterograde tracer biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) in inferior parietal cortex [5, 6]. Experimental protocols were all approved by the IACUC at the University of Iowa or the Animal Care Committee at RIKEN Institute (Wako-shi, Japan) and carried out in strict conformance with the NIH Guide for the care and use of laboratory animals (NIH Publication No. 80–23; revised 1996). Every effort was made to minimize the number of animals used and any pain or discomfort experienced by them. As a terminal step, animals were deeply anesthetized with ketamine (11 mg/kg, i.m.) and Nembutal (overdose, 75 mg/kg, i.p.) and were perfused transcardially, in sequence, with 0.9% saline containing 0.5% sodium nitrite, 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PB, 4 L over 30 minutes, pH 7.3), and chilled aliquots of 0.1 M PB with 10, 20, and 30% sucrose. Brains were removed and, after equilibrating in 30% sucrose buffer, sectioned at 50 μm on a freezing microtome. For PV IHC [7], sections were incubated for 1 h in 0.1 M PB saline (PBS; pH 7.3) containing 0.5% Triton X-100 and 5% normal goat serum (PBS-TG) at room temperature and then for 40–48 h at 4°C with PBS-TG containing mouse monoclonal anti-PV antibody (Swant, Bellinzona, Switzerland; 1:50,000). After rinses, the sections were placed in PBS-TG containing biotinylated goat antimouse IgG (Vector Labs, 1:200) for 1.5 h at room temperature. Immunoreactivity was visualized by ABC incubation (one drop of reagent per 7 ml in 0.1 M PB; ABC Elite kits; Vector Labs) followed by diaminobenzidine (DAB) histochemistry with 0.03% nickel ammonium sulfate. For the two monkeys with injections of the anterograde tracer BDA, surgery was carried out under sterile conditions after the animals were deeply anesthetized with barbiturate anesthesia (25 mg/kg Nembutal, i.v., following a tranquilizing dose of 11 mg/kg ketamine, i.m.). Parietal cortical areas of interest were localized by direct visualization, subsequent to craniotomy and durotomy, in relation to sulcal landmarks (i.e., the intraparietal and superior temporal sulci). Injections were made by pressure through a Hamilton syringe (10% BDA in 0.0125 M (PBS, 0.5–2.0 μl per injection); Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oregon). Anim

Miller, Law School, at Lewis & Clark 1 First Discovery. Representatives of the first European King/ Queen to “discover” lands previously unknown to Europeans were seen to have “gained property and sovereign rights” over those lands for that King/Queen. 2. Actual occupancy and current possession. The claim to legal title of these newly “discovered” lands was established by occupying them through the building of a military fort or settlement. 3. Preemption / European title. In addition to the claim of legal “discovery”, there was a binding claim, whereby Native people were (and are*) not allowed to sell their land to anyone (governments or individuals) other than the U.S. Government. (*now with supervision) 4. Indian title. “Discovery” was taken to mean that Indian Nations have “lost the full property rights and ownership of their lands.” If proven that consent was never given for sale of their land, they could retain their rights to occupy and use, in the usual and accustomed manner, their own land. Native people do not own their own lands “free and clear” as does anyone else in this Nation. 5. Tribal limited sovereignty and commercial rights. Although Indian Nations are recognized as inherently sovereign nations, that sovereignty is limited, for purposes of commerce and diplomatic international relations, to dealing only with the U.S. Government. 6. Contiguity. (state of being near to, having proximity to) “Discovery” came to be understood that not only actually occupied land belonged to the “discovers”, but also a “reasonable and significant amount of land contiguous to and surrounding the settlements” were no longer Indian lands. Thus, a river, and its mouth, and ALL of the land in the drainage field, all the way up to the source of that river was claimed as the territory of the “discovers.” (Columbia River mouth means… most of the State of WA.) 7.Terra nullius. “Land that is empty” became a means to legally acquire any land not being used, occupied, inhabited, etc. according to Euro-American standards of usage. Given the considerable differences** between Euro-American and Native economic and religious practices a great deal of Native land was declared empty and available for European settlement. 8. Christianity. Non-Christians were not deemed legally, or ecclesially (by many, but not all, branches of Christianity), to be worthy of respect and dignity as human beings. The rights of “land, sovereignty, and self-determination” pertaining to (Christian males) were not extended to Native people. 9. Civilization. According to Euro-American understandings, only that which followed Euro-American political, economic, religious, ethical, cultural, social, and aesthetic sensibilities was “civilized.” In spite of glaring injustice and violent practices employed by Euro-Americans towards Native people, marked by “paternalism and guardianship powers over them”, the “settlers” were “civilized” and the Native people were legally labeled as “savages.” 10. Conquest. Two meanings: (1) A “military victory”, in which the “invasion and conquest of Indian lands is justified in certain circumstances” (2) also as “term of art”, with meaning particular to the time it was used. Differing from the European legal definition, the U.S. Supreme Court modified the meaning of “conquest” to restrict the property rights of Native people because “the Indian Nations could not be left in complete ownership of the lands in America.” Based on: Miller, Robert J., and Elizabeth Nurse.

Indian title. “Discovery” was taken to mean that Indian Nations have “lost the full property rights and ownership of their lands.” If proven that consent was never given for sale of their land, they could retain their rights to occupy and use, in the usual and accustomed manner, their own land. Native people do not own their own lands “free and clear” as does anyone else in this Nation. 5. Tribal limited sovereignty and commercial rights. Although Indian Nations are recognized as inherently sovereign nations, that sovereignty is limited, for purposes of commerce and diplomatic international relations, to dealing only with the U.S. Government. 6. Contiguity. (state of being near to, having proximity to) “Discovery” came to be understood that not only actually occupied land belonged to the “discovers”, but also a “reasonable and significant amount of land contiguous to and surrounding the settlements” were no longer Indian lands. Thus, a river, and its mouth, and ALL of the land in the drainage field, all the way up to the source of that river was claimed as the territory of the “discovers.” (Columbia River mouth means… most of the State of WA.) 7.Terra nullius. “Land that is empty” became a means to legally acquire any land not being used, occupied, inhabited, etc. according to Euro-American standards of usage. Given the considerable differences** between Euro-American and Native economic and religious practices a great deal of Native land was declared empty and available for European settlement. 8. Christianity. Non-Christians were not deemed legally, or ecclesially (by many, but not all, branches of Christianity), to be worthy of respect and dignity as human beings. The rights of “land, sovereignty, and self-determination” pertaining to (Christian males) were not extended to Native people. 9. Civilization. According to Euro-American understandings, only that which followed Euro-American political, economic, religious, ethical, cultural, social, and aesthetic sensibilities was “civilized.” In spite of glaring injustice and violent practices employed by Euro-Americans towards Native people, marked by “paternalism and guardianship powers over them”, the “settlers” were “civilized” and the Native people were legally labeled as “savages.” 10. Conquest. Two meanings: (1) A “military victory”, in which the “invasion and conquest of Indian lands is justified in certain circumstances” (2) also as “term of art”, with meaning particular to the time it was used. Differing from the European legal definition, the U.S. Supreme Court modified the meaning of “conquest” to restrict the property rights of Native people because “the Indian Nations could not be left in complete ownership of the lands in America.” Based on: Miller, Robert J., and Elizabeth Nurse. Native America, Discovered and Conquered: Thomas Jefferson, Lewis & Clark, and Manifest Destiny. Westport, Conn: Praetor Publishers, 2006, pp. 3-5. Here below is a collection of English translations of the actual documents – papal bulls, royal letters and charters, laws, and national policies that together have come to be known as the Doctrine of Discovery: 1095 Pope Urban II, Council of Clermont (according to

Fulcher of Chartres) ..a speech calling for the Crusades… “Although, O sons of God, you have promised more firmly than ever to keep the peace among yourselves and to preserve the rights of the church, there remains still an important work for you to do. Freshly quickened by the divine correction, you must apply the strength of your righteousness to another matter which concerns you as well as God. For your brethren who live in the east are in urgent need of your help, and you must hasten to give them the aid which has often been promised them. For, as the most of you have heard, the Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have conquered the territory of Romania [the Greek empire] as far west as the shore of the Mediterranean and the Hellespont, which is called the Arm of St. George. They have occupied more and more of the lands of those Christians, and have overcome them in seven battles. They have killed and captured many, and have destroyed the churches and devastated the empire. If you permit them to continue thus for awhile with impurity, the faithful of God will be much more widely attacked by them. On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it”…. 1452 Papal Bull Dum Diversas (Nicholas V) 18 June “ “We grant you [Kings of Spain and Portugal] by these present documents, with our Apostolic Authority, full and free permission to invade, search out, capture, and subjugate the Saracens and pagans and any other unbelievers and enemies of Christ wherever they may be, as well as their kingdoms, duchies, counties, principalities, and other property […] and to reduce their persons into perpetual slavery. 1454 Papal Bull Romanus Pontifex (Nicholas V) January 8...”The Roman pontiff, successor of the key-bearer of the heavenly kingdom and vicar of Jesus Christ, contemplating with a father’s mind all the several climes of the world and the characteristics of all the nations dwelling in them and seeking and desiring the salvation of all, wholesomely ordains and disposes upon careful deliberation those things which he sees will be agreeable to the Divine Majesty and by which he may bring the sheep entrusted to him by God into the single divine fold, and may acquire for them the reward of eternal felicity, and obtain pardon for their souls. This we believe will more certainly come to pass, through the aid of the Lord, if we bestow suitable favors and special graces on those Catholic kings and princes, who, like athletes and intrepid champions of the Christian faith, as we know by the evidence of facts, not only restrain the savage excesses of the Saracens and of other infidels, enemies of the Christian name, but also for the defense and increase of the faith vanquish them and their kingdoms and habitations, though situated in the remotest parts unknown to us, and subject them to their own temporal dominion, sparing no labor and expense, …” 1493 Papal Bull Inter Caetera (Alexander VI) May 4, ..Alexander, bishop, servant of the servants of God, to the illustrious sovereigns, our very dear son in Christ, Ferdinand, king, and our very dear daughter in Christ, Isabella, queen of Castile, Leon, Aragon, Sicily, and Granada, health and apostolic benediction. Among other works well pleasing to the Divine Majesty and cherished of our heart, this assuredly ranks highest, that in our times especially the Catholic faith and the Christian religion be exalted and be everywhere increased and spread, that the health of souls be cared for and that barbarous nations be overthrown and brought to the faith itself….Moreover, as your aforesaid envoys are of opinion, these very peoples living in the said islands and countries believe in one God, the Creator in heaven, and seem sufficiently disposed to embrace the Catholic faith and be trained in good morals. And it is hoped that, were they instructed, the name of the Savior, our Lord

The resulting pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics are finally presented. Speaker: Mr Matthieu Scannapiego (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Hierarchy of Two-Phase Flow Models for Autonomous Control of Cryogenic Loading Operation 15m We report on the development of a hierarchy of models of two-phase flow in cryogenic transfer line. The work is motivated by NASA plans to develop and maturate technology of cryogenic propellant loading on the ground and in space. The solution of this problem requires two-phase cryogenic flow models that are fast and accurate enough to identify flow conditions, to detect deviations from the nominal regime, and to propose optimal recovery strategy online without human interaction. The hierarchy of models described in this presentation is ranging from incompressible isothermal single-phase flow to separated non-equilibrium two-phase cryogenic flow. It includes heat transfer and pressure loss correlations for boiling flows based on the flow pattern recognition. We provide details of two models: (i) homogeneous, quasi-steady moving front model and (ii) the separated two-phase cryogenic flow model. Both models are based on the integration of energy and mass conservation equations on a one-dimensional grid of control volumes and solution of the momentum conservation equations on the staggered grid. The models are used to predict pressure, temperature, and liquid holdup during chilldown and loading of liquid nitrogen in a large scale cryogenic testbed at NASA-KSC. The heat transfer and pressure loss correlations are validated by comparison of the model predictions with chilldown test data obtained at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The accuracy of the model predictions for cryogenic loading operation is validated by comparison with experimental data obtained from the cryogenic testbed at NASA-KSC. The speed and stability of the models is analyzed. The application of the models to the online fault detection and isolation during loading operation is discussed. The models performance is compared with the baseline model developed using a commercial SINDA/FLUINT software.

[Invited] The origin of strain sensitivity in Nb3Sn 30m Externally applied strain affects the superconducting properties of Nb3Sn in a detrimental way. This is an important design issue in high-magnetic-field applications utilizing Nb3Sn technology where distortion due to Lorentz forces and differential thermal contraction is unavoidable. An overview is given of how the critical current density of Nb3Sn is affected by temperature, magnetic field and strain. Subsequently, it is demonstrated that the large strain sensitivity in Nb3Sn is a direct result of a strain-induced distortion of the niobium chains. Ab-initio calculations are combined with microscopic theory to determine how this distortion affects the superconducting properties and normal state resistivity in quantitative terms, and the results are validated with experimental observations. The same model is then used to explain the different degrees of strain sensitivity between Nb3Sn, Nb3Al, Nb and NbTi. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that determine the (strain-dependent) superconducting properties of Nb3Sn is an important step forward in maximizing the performance of Nb3Sn technology in high field applications. Speaker: Matthias Mentink (CERN) Shift of the Fp-B curve peak of Nb3Sn conductors with very fine grain sizes 15m In an earlier work we demonstrated on a monofilament that the internal oxidation method can significantly refine the grain size and improve the high-field Jc of Nb3Sn strands. In that work we found that as the Nb3Sn grain size was reduced down to 20-50 nm (with an average of 36 nm), the peak of the Fp-B curve shifted from 0.2Birr to 0.34Birr. In this work we further reduce the grain size by using a lower reaction temperature and

In this work we further reduce the grain size by using a lower reaction temperature and

a higher-Zr Nb-Zr alloy, in order to find out how the Fp-B curve peak shifts as grain size decreases. A pinning theory is also developed to explain the shift of the Fp-B curve peak as grain size is reduced. In this work we also work towards implementing the internal oxidation method in practical multi-filamentary tube type Nb3Sn strands. Schemes to apply this method to rod-restack-process (RRP) and powder-in-tube (PIT) strands are also proposed. Requirements for quadrupole magnet conductor for the United States contribution to the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider 15m The LHC will undergo a replacement of the inner triplets at the two main interaction regions between 2020 and 2023. Leading up to this activity will be the production of approximately 90 quadrupole magnets starting in 2018, for which approximately 10 tons of Nb3Sn conductor will be procured. The lead time for this conductor requires orders to be placed starting in 2016. This presentation will outline the proposed production specification, its relationship to magnet functional requirements, and its evolution from previous “baseline” conductor designs supported by the LHC Accelerator R&D Program and the U.S. Conductor Development Program. In particular, we describe how certain design trade-offs and pre-production statistics were evaluated, and how these considerations were propagated through a change in the final conductor diameter to 0.85 mm and its cascading effect on sub-element number, copper fraction, and so on. The present specification strives to achieve a nexus of property distributions that guarantees ample production margin, high yield, and low cost. Speaker: Lance Cooley (Fermilab) Improvement of tube type Nb3Sn conductor in Hyper Tech 15m Tube type Nb3Sn conductor has been being explored by Hyper Tech Research Inc. Our standard conductor with 217 filament arrays have been generated with 12 T non-Cu Jc values of about 2400-2500 A/mm2 with filament size of 40 micros at the 0.85 mm strand. Recently we made 547 filament conductor which has filament size of 25 micros at the 0.85 mm strand without any drawing issue. We are working to improve the non-Cu Jc further. In this paper, creating artificial pinning centers has been used to increase flux pinning in order to raise the Jc overall in the 12-20T range within the tube type Nb3Sn strands. As a result, the artificial pinning centers refine the grain size by at least half, thereby increasing the layer Jc by at least 20%. Round Nb filament has been made to improve the filament array in the restack conductor to increase the reacted Nb3Sn area thereby increasing the Jc in the strand. Speaker: Xuan Peng (Hyper Tech Research Inc.) Digital evaluation of filament distortion and RRR degradation in drawn and rolled PIT and RRP® Nb3Sn wires 15m PIT and RRP® Nb3Sn strands are being studied as potential candidates for high field accelerator magnet upgrades for the LHC. It is well known that maintaining diffusion barrier integrity in these strands is vital to retaining adequate RRR for magnet stability. Here we report a quantitative study of the shape and position of filaments or sub-elements after rolling lengths of unreacted PIT and RRP® round wires to simulate cabling deformation. In the as-drawn condition shape deformation occurs preferentially in the outer ring filaments, increasing progressively with radial position, but rolling induces non-uniform shear bands that induce greater distortion of inner ring filaments. By making a full digitization of the shapes of all filaments, and by taking measurements of RRR, we find that a critical distortion occurs for thickness reductions between 10 and 20%. In this deformation range, the filament shapes transition from higher aspect ratio in outer filament rings to much larger aspect ratios in inner filament rings, especially in the vicinity of the strong 45˚ shear bands imposed by the rolling.

The actor was best known for playing supporting roles in Bollywood - he played the role of the gangster Musa Bhai in Shah Rukh Khan's Raees, Srinagar based doctor Hilaal Meer in Haider and that of a cop in Hrithik Roshan's action thriller Kaabil. 2016's Father: Tale Of Love was his last film while on television, he was last seen in 2015's Tu Con Mai Con. Samvidhaan, Chhoona Hai Aasmaan, Ek Ghar Banaunga and SuperCops vs Supervillains are some of his other TV shows. Narendra Jha also has films like Ghayal Once Again, Force 2 and Hamari Adhuri Kahani on his resume. Bollywood is shocked at the sudden death of Narendra Jha and tweets mourning the actor have poured in on Twitter. "Unbelievable. Tragic. Don't know what's happening. Rest in peace Narendra Jha," tweeted Manoj Bajpayee while Central Board Of Film Certification member Ashoke Pandit added: "It's really shocking to hear about the sad demise of our friend Narendra Jha who was a brilliant actor and a great human being. Will miss U. #RIP." Earlier this month, Narendra Jha shot for a new film De Ijaazat Rahun Tujhme in Vadodara before he returned to Maharashtra.

Narendra Jha is survived by his wife Pankaja Thakur, former CEO of the Censor Board. Veteran actor Raj Kishore who is known for his role in the cult classic Sholay passed away on April 6 at the age of 85. Raj Kishore reportedly suffered a heart attack early morning. His last rites were performed at Aarey Crematorium in Mumbai on Friday morning. The veteran actor had played important role in many movies in 60s, 70s and 80s, working with almost all the superstars of that time. However, he is best remembered for the role of a prisoner in Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra starrer Sholay. Besides ‘Sholay’, Kishore also acted in movies like Padosan (1968), Deewar (1975), Ram Aur Shyam (1967), Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971), Patanga (1949), Karishma Kudrat Kaa (1985), Aasmaan (1984), Bombay To Goa 1972) and Karan Arjun (1995), among others. Remember the simple yet endearing and eloquent animation in EK ANEK AUR EKTA (1974) from old Doordarshan days? (Indians are one despite the heterogeneity of colour, look and language). However, for an entire generation of viewers, growing up on Doordarshan, it was Bhimsain who brought alive the thought and feeling of togetherness intrinsic to the song through his animation, design and production work in Ek Anek Aur Ekta (1974), a short film directed by Vijaya Mulay for NCERT’s Centre for Education Technology. The film is a prime example of how abstract concepts, causes, messages and life lessons can be simply, engagingly and effectively communicated through music and visuals. Veteran filmmaker and animation pioneer Bhimsain, who passed away on Tuesday in Mumbai, at the age of 81, was an expert at it. It was his pioneering work in animation and films like Dooriyan (1979) and Gharaonda (1977) that came to define him. Kalpana Lajmi is no more. Rita Bhaduri, rest in peace.

Veteran actor Kader Khan died in a hospital in Canada on Monday, news agency PTI reported. He was 81. Kader Khan's son Sarfaraz told news agency PTI that the actor died due to prolonged illness. "My dad has left us. He passed away on December 31 at 6 pm as per Canadian time due to prolonged illness. He slipped into coma in the afternoon. He was in the hospital for 16-17 weeks," Sarfaraz told PTI. Kader Khan's son also confirmed that the last rites will be performed in Canada. "The last rites will be performed here in Canada only. We have our entire family here and we live here so we are doing it," Sarfaraz added. On Friday, Kader Khan, developed breathing issues and the doctors transferred him from a regular ventilator to BiPAP ventilator. Last year, unconfirmed media reports stated that Kader Khan had been moved to Canada for medical treatment. However, later, Fauzia Arshi, director of his last film Hogaya Dimaagh Ka Dahi, told news agency IANS: "He (Kader Khan) has been in Canada since three to four months. He is alright. He is in Canada because his elder son stays there, so he is with him. There's nothing like was he rushed to Canada or anything of that nature. Everything is fine." Kader Khan has reportedly been in a wheelchair after his knee surgery in 2015. In April 2016, rumours that Kader Khan had died went crazy viral. However, a source close to the family had revealed that the reports were not true. Later, Fauzia Arshi told the press, "All these tweets and posts are rumours. He is very much alive. I would request all to stop these rumours." Born in Kabul, Afghanistan on October 22, Kader Khan was best known for his work as an actor and a writer in numerous films. He has worked with directors like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra. He has featured in over 300 films. Veteran Bollywood actor-director-writer-comedian and a Quran scholar, Kader Khan died after a prolonged illness at a hospital in Toronto in Canada, a family member said on Tuesday. He was 81. Khan was admitted to a hospital in Canada and his son confirmed that his last rites will be conducted in the country. "My dad has left us. He passed away on December 31 at 6 pm as per Canadian time due to prolonged illness. He slipped into coma in the afternoon. He was in the hospital for 16-17 weeks. "The last rites will be performed here in Canada only. We have our entire family here and we live here so we are doing it," Khan's son Sarfaraz told PTI.

they utterly defeat me, because I can’t resist the natural urge to simply write them as little open-hearted adults. The key to writing kids well is to understand their bizarre logic. Stanton focuses in on this aspect like a laser. Kids are worried about things that only kids worry about. Sometimes this causes them to overestimate their challenges... And sometimes to underestimate them: And whoops, here we are back in tragedy-ville, because utilizing kid-logic fears can also be a great way of making the horror of a situation feel more real: Kids have almost all of the same worries and anxieties as adults, but they process them in strange ways. Good kid-character dialogue reflects our own fears (large and small) back at us in a funhouse mirror, allowing us to see anew in a fresh and startling way. Labels: Character, Dialogue, Humans of New York j.s. said... Another great post. This comment is more of a general one, something that this whole series has me asking: If documentary, even in tiny snippets, can be so great at capturing the whole range of human experience and engendering empathy, what's the point of fiction? When I think of Ebert's description of the movies as a "machine that generates empathy" my mind goes immediately to some of my favorite fiction films. (Though, of course, Ebert loved documentaries dearly, telling anyone who would listen that GATES OF HEAVEN was his favorite film). I think especially of a little film like CHOP SHOP (one Ebert championed) about Willets Point in Queens. And of how this documentary/fiction hybrid film is more affecting for me than FOREIGN PARTS, the equally empathetic straight documentary portrait of that neighborhood made around the same time by the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab. I also think of arguments I've had over what kinds of stories ought and ought not to be permitted, are and are not of enduring value to the world. What's the point of dramatizing the suffering of the characters in a film like UNITED 93, COMPLIANCE (based on a real life horror story), THE SACRAMENT (inspired by the Jonestown massacre), MICHAEL (based on no case in particular but strongly reminiscent of many, like the Cleveland kidnappings), SALO (inspired by the entire history of crimes against humanity) or even the underrated Oliver Stone biopic W. (a comedy about how we ended up with 43). I mean, don't we already _know_ what happened? Because hasn't nonfiction already told us? Aren't there already sufficient non-fiction chronicles of the failures of the Bush presidency, the Jonestown massacre, lurid true crime reports, the endless daily litany of human on human violence? What's the point of narrativizing, dramatizing these events in a fictional context? Why do I feel like CHOP SHOP is a better movie than FOREIGN PARTS? J.A. said... Well, I'd submit that you think CHOP SHOP is a better film than FOREIGN PARTS because it is a better film. It is operating in a different mode, but CHOP SHOP is absolutely at the top of its game for what it's doing, while FOREIGN PARTS is somewhere in the (maybe upper) middle. But how did you feel when you saw that they were making a Cable TV version of GREY GARDENS? Set aside the fact that it starred Drew Barrymore, and I bet it was still disturbing to you, because the original film was so successful in every way. It didn't need dramatization. Imagine a fictional adaptation of SALESMAN. Did you see the TV movie version of HARLAN COUNTY, USA? I sure avoided it. What can fiction do that documentary can't? I'd say the answer is, first and foremost, it can get at the heart of the story much, much easier. It takes an incredibly skilled, dedicated, and lucky documentary filmmaker to dig down to the real kernel of the story, to tell it in a dramatic and engaging way which makes the viewer feel that they've gotten into the interior space of the characters, and to catch the moments that relate it to the type of theme that's been written about on this blog

. And a great documentary filmmaker is thinking about things on that level, not just the level of surface story. Isn't that what Herzog means when he says that he isn't interested in "the accountant's truth?" He wants to get inside the story, to understand it and convey it on a deeper level than the facts and figures of the material events it describes. And he's not the type to sit around for years waiting to catch that perfect moment that will reveal it all, so he sometimes creates it. CHOP SHOP is so fantastic because it manages to capture what seems to be impossible verisimilitude in both place and character using non-professional actors, but still has a dramatic, compelling narrative at its core that is perfectly laid out for us, structured with a familiar arc, and feels impossibly intimate, showing us character detail that seems scripted and undeniably real at the same time. Thats tough for fiction, and even more so for non-fiction, whose authors, as Matt says, "must remember that everyone has some personal detail that will earn our empathy, if only we can find it." And that "if only" is not always attainable, never guaranteed, and never fully in the author's control. I'm a documentary fanatic, but actually I'd reluctantly say most documentaries are pretty bad storytelling. Very few documentary filmmakers (if you take the entire spectrum into consideration) take enough care with story and character to touch the viewer more than a basic magazine article does, or at least don't have the time or resources to catch the moments that can make it happen. But when it does happen it's transcendent and magical, and feels like some kind of unmediated truth, even though that's a complete illusion. I love Humans Of New York, but it's character snapshots. They are fantastic and sometimes very revealing, but don't have the element of time... And that's usually where things get really complicated. Certainly a great documentary is rarely improved by turning it into a feature (Clooney is making a feature out of "Our Brand is Crisis" but I doubt it'll improve on the amazing doc) On the other hand, David Simon could have contented himself with his excellent non-fiction books "Homicide" and "The Corner", but instead he decide to create "Homicide" the TV series, a miniseries of "The Corner", and ultimately "The Wire", which is the culmination of all four. In that case, I'm glad that he chose to create a dramatized version of his books. He found even more meaning, and ultimately even more truth, by fictionalizing his journalism. Kid logic is a riot to behold. The operating principal of "they're not stupid, they just don't have a lot of facts in hand yet" is key to understanding it. My four year old spouts a great many batshit things every day, but when you consider what she has seen of the world and how appears to her, most of what she says makes sense. For example, if you look at the sky from a moving car and your head is mostly clear of pre-existing ideas, yeah, it is logical to declare that the moon is chasing you. This creates odd moments when you have an adult who has experience but is fundamentally a dullard alongside a young child who has little knowledge of the world but is fundamentally smart. That's a hell of a dynamic to watch. I love David Simon's fiction work too. But when it comes to the details of the world, like, say, the opening scene of THE WIRE (which is lifted almost verbatim from his nonfiction book HOMICIDE), they are pretty difficult to distinguish. I suppose what I was after is something a little closer to what J.A. suggests, that fiction can more easily get to the heart of a story, because incisively written fictional narratives don't have to wait for someone to say or do that thing that reveals who they are. Fiction doesn't have to get lucky and be there at just the right moment. And fiction is uniquely positioned to deal with longer time periods and with inarticulate characters. On a very good day, perhaps, a "Humans of New York" profile of Jake La Motta or, say, the fast food manager in COMPLIANCE might have gotten some telling little tidbit. But there's simply no way that even the best documentarians could get inside the heads of these characters the

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after serving in Vietnam. “I know I did everything right. I know I have a background and a past but I’m trying to be a better man. I was there to do the best job I could and be an inspiration for someone else.” Collins says he has a hearing with the Alabama Board of Public Accountants in January to request his SPA status be reinstated. Solomon was initially hired by the BJCTA as customer service/marketing manager six years ago, according to the agency’s website. She was promoted to chief of staff under Ruffin’s predecessor, Barbara Murdock, who was suspended in April and later terminated for allegedly using a BJCTA credit card for personal expenses. Murdock’s suspension launched what emerged as months of dysfunction, chaos, terminations, and turnover throughout all levels of the authority—matched only by infighting and persistent leadership coups among the board of directors. While the board appears to have stabilized someone following the election of new leadership last month, the same clearly cannot be said for the agency. Since April, the agency lost three other department heads: Human Resources, Maintenance and Safety, along with numerous employees in various areas, many of whom were terminated by Solomon and Ruffin. The turbulence and uncertainty created a tense environment that reverberated well beyond the agency’s spanking new Intermodal facility downtown. Several angry current and former BJCTA employees recently flooded the inboxes of board members and city officials throughout Jefferson County with messages hyper-critical of BJCTA leadership, particularly management styles and practices. Last Wednesday, the board of directors voted to engage a search firm to conduct a national search for a permanent executive director. So, don’t expect the bumpy ride to end anytime soon, no matter whose hands grip the wheel. Roy S.

Who are the Taino (tah-EEE-no) people? The U.S. Government says they are extinct, but they are not. Most likely you know them today as Latino, a Spanish speaking person of Latin American (the Spanish speaking part of the Americas, south of the U.S.) descent. Not all, but many modern day Taino people are unaware of their lineage. To understand how that could happen you must know the story from the beginning.... Approximately 1,500 years ago, the Arawak people of South America began migrating northward along the many scattered islands located between South and North America, an area we now refer to as the Caribbean. For a thousand years their population grew and the people lived in harmony. The people covered all the islands of the Caribbean, the major ones as they are now known: Cuba, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as well as all the smaller ones: the Bahamas, Bimini, Jamaica etc. Certain groups of island people identified themselves as Lokono, Lucayan, Carib, Ciboney, Arawak, but most islands were primarily inhabited by people who called themselves Taino, which stood for "the good people" in their language. The different groups intermarried extensively to strengthen ties among themselves. Theirs was a beautiful culture. They were aware of a Divine presence whom they called Yocahu, and to worship and give thanks was a major part of their lives. They had a social order that provided the leaders and guidelines by which they all lived. They hunted, fished, cultivated crops and ate the abundant fruits provided by nature.

I was there to do the best job I could and be an inspiration for someone else.” Collins says he has a hearing with the Alabama Board of Public Accountants in January to request his SPA status be reinstated. Solomon was initially hired by the BJCTA as customer service/marketing manager six years ago, according to the agency’s website. She was promoted to chief of staff under Ruffin’s predecessor, Barbara Murdock, who was suspended in April and later terminated for allegedly using a BJCTA credit card for personal expenses. Murdock’s suspension launched what emerged as months of dysfunction, chaos, terminations, and turnover throughout all levels of the authority—matched only by infighting and persistent leadership coups among the board of directors. While the board appears to have stabilized someone following the election of new leadership last month, the same clearly cannot be said for the agency. Since April, the agency lost three other department heads: Human Resources, Maintenance and Safety, along with numerous employees in various areas, many of whom were terminated by Solomon and Ruffin. The turbulence and uncertainty created a tense environment that reverberated well beyond the agency’s spanking new Intermodal facility downtown. Several angry current and former BJCTA employees recently flooded the inboxes of board members and city officials throughout Jefferson County with messages hyper-critical of BJCTA leadership, particularly management styles and practices. Last Wednesday, the board of directors voted to engage a search firm to conduct a national search for a permanent executive director. So, don’t expect the bumpy ride to end anytime soon, no matter whose hands grip the wheel. Roy S.

Who are the Taino (tah-EEE-no) people? The U.S. Government says they are extinct, but they are not. Most likely you know them today as Latino, a Spanish speaking person of Latin American (the Spanish speaking part of the Americas, south of the U.S.) descent. Not all, but many modern day Taino people are unaware of their lineage. To understand how that could happen you must know the story from the beginning.... Approximately 1,500 years ago, the Arawak people of South America began migrating northward along the many scattered islands located between South and North America, an area we now refer to as the Caribbean. For a thousand years their population grew and the people lived in harmony. The people covered all the islands of the Caribbean, the major ones as they are now known: Cuba, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as well as all the smaller ones: the Bahamas, Bimini, Jamaica etc. Certain groups of island people identified themselves as Lokono, Lucayan, Carib, Ciboney, Arawak, but most islands were primarily inhabited by people who called themselves Taino, which stood for "the good people" in their language. The different groups intermarried extensively to strengthen ties among themselves. Theirs was a beautiful culture. They were aware of a Divine presence whom they called Yocahu, and to worship and give thanks was a major part of their lives. They had a social order that provided the leaders and guidelines by which they all lived. They hunted, fished, cultivated crops and ate the abundant fruits provided by nature. They were clever and ingenious and had everything they needed to survive. They had beautiful ceremonies that were held at various times, birth, death, marriage, harvest, naming and coming of age to name a few. They had special reverence for the Earth Mother (Atabey) and had respect for all living things knowing that all living things are connected. There was little need for clothing due to the tropic heat, but upon reaching puberty both males and

females would wear a small woven loincloth. Puberty was also the time at which they were considered old enough to be married. The population estimates for the Taino people at the height of their culture are as high as 8,000,000. That was in 1491.... In 1492, the Italian explorer and profiteer, Christopher Columbus, was loaned 3 small, old ships from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain for a questionable voyage across the sea in which he hoped to reach Hindustan (not 'India'). Although Marco Polo had sailed around the world 300 years earlier, and the Norsemen 500 years earlier, there were few sailors willing to sail into the unknown, so the King and Queen released some prisoners early to accompany Columbus on the voyage. On October 12, 1492 after two months at sea Columbus and crew finally spotted land. Upon reaching the land, Columbus fell to his knees, thanked God for a safe voyage and planted a flag in the ground, claiming the land for Spain - as the Taino people who had lived there for 1,000 years watched from behind trees and bushes. The Taino had never before seen white men, clothed people, people with beards or ships like that ~ they thought these people must be from heaven. So the Taino came out to greet them, as was their custom, and bring the travelers, who surely must be tired and hungry, food, drink and gifts. Such strong swimmers were the Taino that some of them swam right out to the boats some 3 miles offshore. The very first night Columbus wrote in his journal, that these islands were very heavily populated by a handsome, strong, well-built and peaceful people who had only simple weapons and that with as few as 50 of his men and their weapons he could subdue them all. Much is said about Columbus' desire to convert the "savages" to Christianity, but very little is said about his quest for gold, although Columbus mentions gold in his journal 70 times in his first 2 weeks in the islands. The very first day, Columbus "took" several Native boys aboard his ship to have them show him where the gold was. Columbus spent the next two months looking for gold. Just when he was about to return to Spain, on Christmas Eve, his ship, the Santa Maria, ran aground and sank. The Taino people helped him to retrieve every salvageable item. A problem arose in that now all the sailors who had accompanied Columbus could not fit on the two remaining (and smaller) ships. So a fort was built using the salvaged wood from the Santa Maria and 39 men were left behind at a fort Columbus called La Navidad. Shortly thereafter, Columbus set sail for Spain, taking some of the birds, food and plants and abducting some of the Taino people so he could show them to the King and Queen. (It is interesting to note how Columbus 'displayed' the Taino people to the King and Queen as if they were not people, but objects. This state of mind still exists today where Indian people are 'displayed' as mascots and sports team names) Columbus was received in a manner never before seen and his stories of the "New World" were listened to with awe. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella immediately gave Columbus 17 large ships, livestock & supplies to return to their newly "acquired" lands and colonize them. This time there was no shortage of men willing to sign up for the ocean voyage, 1,200 men eagerly signed up for the voyage and the chance to get rich quick on the gold to be found in the 'New' World. (Did you know that the Ozark Mountain range in Missouri and Arkansas is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the entire world? The Paha Sapa (Black Hills) is also one of the oldest. This continent is not, and never was, the 'New' World. It was only 'new' to Europeans who were and are not Indigenous to this land. I always feel it is important to make that clarification.) Upon arrival at La Navidad in the second voyage, Columbus found the fort burned to the ground and all 39 of the men he had left behind had been killed. It seems the sailors left behind had "misbehaved" as U.S. history books tell it, but their "misbehaving" was in the form of rape of the

t add up. Please be good enough to read the article all the way through and appreciate the last paragraph. Unless you witnessed this stuff please don’t create the rumors. If the trail saved her life then I’m happy with donating to her cause; hiking and sharing her story. Having met her and hearing her story in person, seeing her battle the PTSD while sitting amongst a group of friends, I am proud of her for sharing her story with others in hopes of helping them. …I did read it through. I would be happy with donating to her cause had it really existed. Using the crutch of ‘charity’ geared towards sexual assault survivors, and turning around to keep the funds for herself (which is based off her OWN words) and using it for things like drugs and alcohol is disgraceful and a total bad mark towards the thru hiker community. I’m not against it judgemental of people and their vices, but I am, however, against someone’s who lies to take advantage of people. Well said! Plenty of people do things in the name of charity to bring awareness, while being upfront about the fact that donations are being used to support the endeavor. If people want to donate to such an endeavor, wonderful. If not, that’s cool too. A person does not necessarily need to create a full-on non-profit all the red tape conquered event, to do good in the world. And any “charity” (i.e. Various well known Cancer foundations) use a HIGH percentage of donations to manage the business end of said charity events. It is SO EASY to judge and critique another person. Maybe we need a “charity”hike geared toward compassion… Oops- my previous post was in response to Erin… Alberto : Sep 20th Summary of facts: No endurance record to speak of (years of hiking, etc) No ultramarathons, including multi-day experience. Smoker and drinker, taker of acid. Apparently shattered all AT records set by some pretty legendary humans. Donations go directly to her. Her attempt won’t be legitimized at all, at least by any sane person. What does the fact she smokes have to do with anything? I’d say 50+% of thru hikers are smokers and many of them pull crazy miles with a cig in their mouth while hiking uphill! Please be sure your facts are facts and not just rumor. Alberto : Sep 21st EVERYTHING! Do you know what kind of endurance it takes to do something that she claims she did? Do you know how many years of experience it takes to build an aerobic base strong enough to endure 45+ days of going 50+ miles/day? Heck, have you ever done an ultramarathon? You are probably part of the population that hasn’t a clue about any of it. Study the topic. Do a little background digging on this Kaiha girl and you’ll find that she is a self-admitted smoker. And yes, any dang fool knows that smoking and endurance feats don’t go together!!! Hunter : Sep 21st Id say it takes the same kind of endurance you are trained for in the military. As someone who was in the armed forces i am completely aware of this type of training. While doing a through hike may be the most challanging thing youve ever done it still doesnt even hold a candle to what the military puts you through. She most certainle did beat the record. I know because i followed her travels for a good portion of time an ran into her in new york as well as vermont. Nonbeliever : Sep 21st That’s not proof. Try again… Bwahahaha “it doesn’t compare to what the military puts you through?” Really? I served and the hardest thing you have to do in basic training is a 20 mile ruck march overnight. And that’s just 1 day. Unless you serve in special forces you get nowhere near what it takes to do a regular thru hike never mind a near yo-yo as she claims while setting the FKT for self-supported SOBO. Give me a break! There is no way she hiked these miles. Yellow blazed? sure. but thru hiked? Nope. Not

public, the giant environment will finally destroy the authentic appearance of Syracuse, which is already pretty spoiled by modern buildings. Construction still began in 1966, but during the excavation of the foundation, the remains of a building from the sixth century BC were discovered and work stopped for a long time. Construction was completed 28 years later, and on November 6, 1994, Pope John Paul II consecrated the structure in the name of Our Lady of Tears, but the structure is still the subject of criticism. The sanctuary consists of a basilica (or upper temple) and a crypt (or lower temple), covered with a conical structure formed by reinforced concrete ribs. The total height of the structure above sea level is 103 meters or 94.30 meters from zero level, and the diameter is 71.4 meters. The shape of the Sanctuary is the subject of various interpretations. The architects intended to implement structurally the concept and meaning of the elevation of humanity in relation to God. There are other interpretations: this is a lighthouse with which the Mother of God leads to God, some associate the construction with a tear that fell from the sky. The structure is crowned with a steel openwork structure made by Francesco Caldarella. A three-meter-high statue of the Madonna made of gilded bronze weighing 600 kg is surrounded by a halo with round elements and rays. The room has benches for 6 thousand seats, the rest of the space accommodates another 11 thousand standing visitors. The altar by sculptor Giancarlo Marchese has a marble base, in the center of which is a square table made of stone, its sides are decorated with boards depicting scenes from the Book of the Apocalypse: The Throne, the new Jerusalem, the Lamb, the Tree of Life. The altar is made of white marble, its only decoration is a wonderful figure of the Madonna from the house where the miracle happened. Marchese's work is called "New Heavens and New Earth" because it aims to express the completion of history and the return of Jesus. Above the altar is an early eighteenth-century wooden crucifix by an unknown artist. There are 16 chapels around the circumference of the main dome. The chapel windows are decorated with stained glass windows depicting phrases from psalms. To the left of the altar is the Chapel of the Holy Communion, where Holy Mass is celebrated every morning. The next chapel is dedicated to the Holy Shroud. The chapel of Saint Joseph, the husband of the Holy Virgin, which in Italy is called San Giuseppe. On the walls of the chapel it is fashionable to see pastel paintings with scenes from the Journey of Jesus on the Cross to Calvary. The lower temple was a temporary storage of the miraculous figurine during the construction of the Sanctuary. The first crypt was consecrated by the Archbishop of Syracuse in the name of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on August 28, 1968. On the floor of the crypt there are remains of buildings from the Roman era, with mosaic floors. In the lower church there are several chapels and an iconostasis, where holy masses are celebrated according to the Byzantine rite. In the Chapel of Santa Lucia is the grave of the Archbishop of Syracuse. In the Sanctuary there is a small museum where there are unique exhibits that tell the story of the Madonna delle Lacrime, including a cotton swab used to collect the tears of the Madonna; a pipette and slide used in the laboratory by the medical commission to conduct chemical analyses; a table on which official documents on the canonization of the miracle were signed; a silver trowel that It was used by Cardinal Ernesto Ruffini to lay the foundation stone. It also stores gifts made by officials. A separate exhibition of the museum tells about the visit of John Paul II to Syracuse. During my visit to the Sanctuary, there was a mass for pilgrims from Germany, which was held in German. The sanctuary is open to the public daily from 07: 30 to 12: 30 and from 16: 00 to 19: 30. From Monday to Saturday, Masses begin at 08: 00, 10: 00 and 19: 00, and on

2 overall and 3-11 in Big Ten play through two seasons. But Locksley has recruited well and has a talented young quarterback in Taulia Tagovailoa. The Terrapins could be ready to make some noise. 4. Nebraska: The Cornhuskers return nine starters on defense and are starting to build some depth on the roster entering Scott Frost’s fourth season. Nebraska finally might be able to build some momentum if it can win tossup games at Illinois and Michigan State to open Big Ten play. 5. Illinois: The Fighting Illini are picked to finish last in the West Division after going 2-6 last season. But a middle-of-the-pack result wouldn’t be surprising considering Illinois returns 15 starters, eight of whom are seniors. Top five potentially disappointing teams JOHN RAOUX, ASSOCIATED PRESS ARCHIVES 1. Northwestern: The Wildcats are the defending West Division champs and are picked to finish third. But they return only seven starters and could struggle on offense. 2. Indiana: Hoosiers coach Tom Allen is talking the talk after his team went 6-1 in Big Ten play last season. But how will Indiana react to having a target on its back for the first time in forever? And can star quarterback Michael Penix Jr. finally stay healthy? 3. UW: What if Graham Mertz struggles again and the running game fails to get going? The Badgers only can rely on their defense so much and can’t be flat early in the season, with games against Penn State and Notre Dame in the opening month. 4. Penn State: A tale of two 2020 seasons for the Nittany Lions included a double-digit home loss to Maryland as part of an 0-5 start. A four-game winning streak to end the season is a big reason Penn State is picked to finish second in the Big Ten East. But the Nittany Lions are closer to Indiana, Michigan and Maryland than they are to Ohio State. 5. Iowa: The Hawkeyes always walk a fine line. While you can pencil them in for at least seven wins, a run at the Big Ten West title depends on whether quarterback Spencer Petras can be more accurate than he was during his first season as a starter. Top five coaches with something to prove 1. Jim Harbaugh (above), Michigan: Harbaugh is 49-22 overall and 34-16 through six seasons at his alma mater. Those would be considered decent numbers at most places, but Harbaugh is one of the highest-paid coaches in the game, hasn’t delivered a Big Ten title or a win over archrival Ohio State and is coming off a 2-4 season. 2. Scott Frost, Nebraska: Frost was supposed to be the savior in Lincoln. Not quite. The Cornhuskers are 12-20 overall and 9-17 in Big Ten play heading into Year 4 of the Frost era and there may not be a Year 5 if Frost can’t get Nebraska to a bowl game for the first time since 2016. 3. Jeff Brohm, Purdue: The Boilermakers went 13-13 overall and 9-9 in the Big Ten over Brohm’s first two seasons. They’re 6-12 overall and 5-10 in the conference over the past two seasons, a trend that Brohm needs to change in a hurry. 4. James Franklin, Penn State: The Nittany Lions went 4-5 in 2020 after winning 11 games three times in a span of four seasons. That marked the program’s first losing season since 2004. 5. Paul Chryst, UW: Chryst doesn’t have to worry about job security, but UW fans would feel a lot better about the state of the program if the Badgers can bounce back from an uneven 2020 campaign and perhaps get over the hump to win a Big Ten title. Five toughest conference schedules TONY DING, ASSOCIATED PRESS ARCHIVES 1. Michigan: The Wolverines visit UW early in the season and have a difficult four-game closing stretch that includes home games against Indiana and Ohio State sandwiched around trips to Penn State and Maryland. 2.

Purdue: The Boilermakers open Big Ten play with home

games against Illinois and Minnesota, but their slate gets much more difficult from there with back-to-back games against Iowa and UW. Plus, Purdue gets crossover opponents Ohio State and Indiana in a span of three games to end the regular season. 3. Rutgers: The Scarlet Knights play four of five games on the road during a stretch that begins in mid-October. That grind ends with a home game against UW followed by trips to Indiana and Penn State. 4. Penn State: Road trips to UW, Iowa and Ohio State await a program that started 2020 with five consecutive defeats before it rallied to win its final four games. 5. Michigan State: Year 2 of the Melvin Tucker era includes the usual East Division grind. Whether the Spartans can improve on their 2-5 mark may depend on whether they can knock off Michigan and Penn State in East Lansing. Five easiest conference schedules 1. UW: The Badgers’ crossover games are against Penn State and Michigan, but both are at home. Their road schedule — Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers and Minnesota — looks manageable on paper. 2. Ohio State: The most challenging part of the Buckeyes’ slate comes in October when they go to Indiana and host Penn State in back-to-back weeks. 3. Northwestern: The Wildcats may not play a ranked team in Big Ten play until a trip to UW on Nov. 13. 4. Nebraska: The Cornhuskers can build some momentum early in the season with some winnable games on the docket. They’d better take advantage because the season ends with home games against Ohio State and Iowa wrapped around a trip to UW. 5. Illinois: Nothing will come easy for the Fighting Illini as they look for their first winning campaign in a decade, but the schedule makers were kind to first-year coach Bret Bielema. Illinois has to go to Penn State, but its other two crossover games are at home against Rutgers and Maryland. Plus, the Illini avoids a trip to UW. Top five conference games 1. Ohio State at Indiana, Oct. 23: The Buckeyes had to hold on for dear life to win this matchup last season in Columbus. Ohio State led 35-14 early in the third quarter before Indiana scored four touchdowns in a span of 15:22 to cut its deficit to a touchdown. 2. Penn State at UW, Sept. 4: A Top 25 matchup to open the season, and fans finally back inside Camp Randall Stadium? Sounds delightful. 3. Penn State at Ohio State, Oct. 30: The Buckeyes have won four consecutive games in this series, but two of those games were decided by one point. 4. UW at Illinois, Oct. 9: The Badgers’ first meeting with an old friend, Bret Bielema, who went 68-24 in seven seasons at UW from 2006 to 2012. Bielema has a big rebuilding project in front of him in Champaign, but his return to the Big Ten makes the conference more interesting. 5. Ohio State at Michigan, Nov. 27: The rivals didn’t play last season for the first time since 1918 because of COVID-19 issues within the Michigan program. It was probably a good thing for the Wolverines, who haven’t beaten the Buckeyes in a decade and were outscored 118-66 in the two most recent meetings. Top five nonconference games 1. Oregon at Ohio State, Sept. 11: The Buckeyes and Ducks were scheduled to play in Eugene last season, but that game got canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They’ll meet in Columbus in what should be a good résumé builder for the winner. 2. UW vs. Notre Dame in Chicago, Sept. 25: The first meeting between these programs since 1964 will take place at Soldier Field and — as if the matchup needed any more hoopla — former Badgers quarterback Jack Coan likely will be directing the Fighting Irish offense. 3. Washington at Michigan, Sept. 11: Signature wins have been hard to come by during the Jim Harbaugh era at Michigan. He’s got a chance to post one early in the season against one of the

posterior teeth. Detecting early minimal caries and placing a sealant over the lesion can inhibit pathogens and arrest lesion progression. This is key in the quest to avoid restorative care. Research into the use of silver diamine fluoride has shown it to be an effective management tool in arresting certain active caries. Resin-infiltration technology is another minimally invasive approach that fills and reinforces demineralized enamel in incipient lesions without the need to reduce tooth structure or provide anesthesia. In respect to overall caries management, CAMBRA has been embraced as a key component of minimally invasive dentistry.

Rano, who goes by single name, suffered a life-altering accident five years ago leading to irreparable damage to both his arms. While his left arm was amputated from the shoulder, he lost his right arm from just above the elbow. The department of assistive technology at ISIC created first of its kind, low-cost assistive device to enable functioning of amputated arms, the centre said in a statement. Rano initially used an imported robotic arm which did not work for him. He also attempted cosmetic prosthesis which also failed to provide him any relief. He was finally referred to ISIC. “When Rano came to us, he was also not able to stand from a sitting position due to non-functionality of the cosmetic prosthesis which met the aesthetics needs but offered no movement. We created an innovative low-cost small assistive device that was attached just above his elbow,” said Nekram Upadhyay, head of the department of assistive technology. After inspecting Rano, the doctors sought the help of engineers from the assistive technology department at ISIC. The inclusion of assistive device did not require any clinical intervention. The device acts like an artificial hand that helps him get a grip of things. Assistive devices are created based on the “patient-driven approach” where a patient is clinically evaluated for developing the innovative and appropriate assistive devices “The device has been created keeping in mind the requirements and needs of the patients. We primarily use some technological solution for complex issues with a low-cost approach. We are happy with our work and its success,” added Upadhyay. Rano and his family are happy that he can live with greater independence in his daily life.

redesigning force structure to “deal with a potential great-power threat. This will require making significant changes in the way the U.S. military is sized, shaped, postured, employed, and developed.” Were these changes to be fully realized, current trends suggest that they could come at the expense of the United States’ low-intensity capabilities. We do not question that substantial reforms and investment are needed to restore the United States’ competitive advantages and prepare American forces for the risk of a major war with a peer or near-peer competitor. Achieving these aims will require accepting uncomfortable trade-offs. But in framing the United States’ options as incongruous, the conversation may soon risk swinging too far in the other direction—inhibiting our ability to understand and manage a range of state and non-state threats in the near-future. In seeking greater attention to the pressing challenges presented by peer and near-peer adversaries, those advocating for a strategic reorientation have (even if inadvertently) contributed to the dangerous notion that the United States need not continue to prepare to fight weaker adversaries like non-state militants and irregular forces and to conduct operations that fall below the threshold of major war. Intended as a prudent reprioritization, the dramatic shift in demand for more “great power gurus” threatens to shelve the experience and institutional knowledge accumulated over the last two decades. We have had this debate before. During the 1990s, the Clinton administration’s embrace of humanitarian interventionism spurred a backlash from those who argued the new peacekeeping and stability missions were eroding the military’s ability to conduct conventional operations. On the campaign trail, George W. Bush pledged to withdraw U.S. troops from Haiti and the Balkans and advanced the argument that the United States’ interventions abroad were symptomatic of a dangerous strategic drift that weakened the United States’ ability to maintain conventional strengths. Then came the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which brutally revealed the power of a new generation of irregular threats and the costs of the United States’ failure to generate tools to manage the low-intensity conflicts that had fueled al-Qaeda’s growth. The failure of the United States’ “big small wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan, the seemingly intractable conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Libya, and the ongoing erosion in long-held American competitive advantages have strengthened the Pentagon’s desire to return to what it does best: high-tech, large-scale conventional conflict paired with targeted SOF operations. Counterintuitively, though, the techniques, tactics, and procedures associated with low-intensity warfare are only growing more important as the risk of a major confrontation with a peer or near-peer competitor increases. The common assumption that a great power conflict would be conventional is flawed. No one denies that Russia and China are investing substantially in artificial intelligence, cyber assets, and space technologies—as well as missiles and air defenses—in an effort to winnow the U.S. advantage and bolster their anti-access/area denial capabilities. However, as former Secretary of Defense James Mattis is fond of pointing out, the enemy also “gets a vote” in how the next war will be fought. Aware their militaries cannot hope to win a conventional battle against the United States in the near term, both Russia and China are also investing in substantial asymmetrical resources to exploit existing American vulnerabilities laid bare over the last two decades. From its “little green men” in Georgia and Ukraine to its proxies in Syria and Libya, the Kremlin has demonstrated a hybrid maneuver strategy that involves deploying Russian advise-and-assist teams to support indigenous units, who bear the brunt of the fighting while receiving support from Russian conventional forces. Likewise, Chinese strategists continue to emphasize asymmetric strategies, and the Science of Military Strategy 2013, a leading Chinese military tract, advocates the use of a variety of domains of conflict when engaging U.S. conventional forces. Beijing’s use of “little blue men” to enforce its territorial claims in the South China Seas offers a preview of how it might mobilize civilian mariners in a future conflict. Should a future war reach land, it takes little imagination to conceive of the challenges of conducting urban warfare in Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Shanghai. And weaker

redesigning force structure to “deal with a potential great-power threat. This will require making significant changes in the way the U.S. military is sized, shaped, postured, employed, and developed.” Were these changes to be fully realized, current trends suggest that they could come at the expense of the United States’ low-intensity capabilities. We do not question that substantial reforms and investment are needed to restore the United States’ competitive advantages and prepare American forces for the risk of a major war with a peer or near-peer competitor. Achieving these aims will require accepting uncomfortable trade-offs. But in framing the United States’ options as incongruous, the conversation may soon risk swinging too far in the other direction—inhibiting our ability to understand and manage a range of state and non-state threats in the near-future. In seeking greater attention to the pressing challenges presented by peer and near-peer adversaries, those advocating for a strategic reorientation have (even if inadvertently) contributed to the dangerous notion that the United States need not continue to prepare to fight weaker adversaries like non-state militants and irregular forces and to conduct operations that fall below the threshold of major war. Intended as a prudent reprioritization, the dramatic shift in demand for more “great power gurus” threatens to shelve the experience and institutional knowledge accumulated over the last two decades. We have had this debate before. During the 1990s, the Clinton administration’s embrace of humanitarian interventionism spurred a backlash from those who argued the new peacekeeping and stability missions were eroding the military’s ability to conduct conventional operations. On the campaign trail, George W. Bush pledged to withdraw U.S. troops from Haiti and the Balkans and advanced the argument that the United States’ interventions abroad were symptomatic of a dangerous strategic drift that weakened the United States’ ability to maintain conventional strengths. Then came the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which brutally revealed the power of a new generation of irregular threats and the costs of the United States’ failure to generate tools to manage the low-intensity conflicts that had fueled al-Qaeda’s growth.

adversaries are also investing in asymmetric capabilities. Iran has long compensated for its conventional weaknesses by developing robust paramilitary and surrogate forces and a formidable arsenal of low-cost assets to swarm an adversaries’ superior naval or ground forces. Years of fighting in Syria, where Iran has deployed its own IRGC-Quds force, worked alongside its partner Hezbollah, and organized Shi’a militias on the ground, have only honed this strategy further. Neither sanctions nor negotiations have blunted Tehran’s asymmetric capabilities. The recent attack on an Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia demonstrates that Iran’s irregular tactics can force the United States onto its backfoot. Moreover, U.S. policymakers’ stated desire to refocus on conventional adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran does not change the reality that a host of non-state actors continue to sow unrest throughout Central Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East, undermining regional stability and threatening U.S. and allied interests. Longitudinal data show that the vast majority of armed conflicts today are internationalized civil or sub-state conflicts, rather than conventional interstate wars. The historical record is rife with instances in which localized crises escalated into wars between great powers, whether through alliance commitments, national rivalries, or miscalculation. A succession crisis in Spain sparked the Franco-Prussian war; political instability in the Balkans triggered the First World War. And there have been near misses, like the 1973 Yom Kippur War, which could have triggered a nuclear exchange. Even the “long peace” of the latter half of the twentieth century sowed bloody proxy confrontations between the United States, the Soviet Union, and its surrogates across the Global South. Whether today’s insurgencies, sectarian conflicts, and other limited wars will escalate remains to be seen. Regardless of whether the United States decides to intervene directly, to work through regional partners, or to sit on the sidelines and manage the potential ramifications, any effort to respond to these challenges will require retaining (and improving) specialized knowledge and capabilities designed for low-intensity operations. Similarly, retaining expertise in stability, peacekeeping, and humanitarian operations helps decrease the possibility of escalation. Put simply, peacekeeping is a tool for great power conflict resolution. The national security community doesn’t need to deny the potential for future great power conflict—or neglect to prepare for it—in order to acknowledge the enduring reality of asymmetric threats. Indeed, some analysts are probing past irregular wars for lessons that could inform future confrontations among great powers. Others have found that existing conventional and irregular capabilities and approaches can be dual-use and may be equally applied across levels of conflict. But the United States must be vigilant against letting the pendulum swing too far in the other direction by focusing solely on a conventional, symmetric future conflict and would be wise to acknowledge the coexistence of multiple categories of dangerous actors. Containing, resolving, and even preventing smaller conflicts is essential to avoiding bigger ones. Washington may face these wars for many years to come—and could have to prepare for the undesirable tradeoffs. The era of small wars is not over. (Photo credit: U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.

From the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, Newar was the official language of the Kingdom of Nepal but was replaced by Nepali when the Gorkha kings took control of the eighteenth century. It is thus historically the language of the Kathmandu valley as well as neighboring regions. More than 1 million people still speak Newar. Moreover, it brings confusion because it is known in Nepal as the language of Nepal but it has nothing to do with Nepali, complicated all that. Newar is from the Tibetan-Burmese family and Nepali is Indo-Aryan. Do you still follow? Now that you know it, you can say hello to your Newar friends by telling them Jwa-ja-la-paa with your palms together. It is the most spoken language in the Terai region. If you are told Chitwan, you should talk Tharu. Tharu is spoken also in the neighboring regions of India. Dialects are spoken in this region but Tharu is spoken by just over 2 million people. It is an Indo-Aryan language just like Nepali, but after several centuries of trade and migration in this fertile agricultural region, the place of Tharu languages in families is unclear. During your trek, with us of course, in Sagarmatha National Park (Solu-Khumbu District), you will cross the traditional homeland of Sherpas. So beware, Sherpa is not a job! It is indeed a cultural group with its own language. It is a language that is linked with other Tibetan languages. The Sherpas of Solu-Khumbu should not be confused with the Helambu Sherambas (also known as Yolmo), who live in the Helambu Valley and speak a different Tibetan language. Like many Tibetan language groups, Tashi Dele is the common greeting. Tamang The Tamang is part of the Tibetan-Burmese family, having left the Tibetan group sometime before the 7th century. Closely related to the Gurung, Tamang is the ethnic group that you can meet during your trekking in the Annapurna region. There are about a million and a half people who speak Tamang.

(MTS), in a deal worth $3.9 billion, further enlarging Canada’s largest telecommunications company. “Under the terms of this transaction, MTS will achieve much more than it could have as an independent company,” Manitoba Telecom president and CEO Jay Forbes said in a conference call with analysts. “BCE’s commitment to invest $1 billion over five years into Manitoba’s telecommunications infrastructure will also contribute greatly to the prosperity of our province and the quality of our customer experience.” Many MTS customers and consumer advocates disagree with Forbes’ assessment, noting the deal will further consolidate Canada’s wireless marketplace by eliminating the province’s largest wireless carrier – MTS. The wireless business has nearly 500,000 customers – by far the largest provider in the region. Under the deal, BCE will sell off about one-third of MTS’ customers and retail storefronts to competitor Telus in a separate transaction. Manitoba and neighboring residents in Saskatchewan pay some of the lowest prices for telecom services in Canada. MTS offers unlimited, flat rate Internet plans for both its broadband and wireless customers — plans likely to disappear or become more expensive after Bell takes over. The result, according to one Canadian telecom expert, will be higher rates. “With MTS out of the way — and Bell and Telus sharing the same wireless network — prices are bound to increase to levels more commonly found in the rest of the country,” lawyer Michael Geist wrote on his blog. The deal is also likely to deliver a death-blow to a government commitment assuring Canadians of at least four competing choices for wireless service. If Bell’s buyout is approved by regulators, Manitoba will be served by just three competitors — all charging substantially more than MTS. …but soon we’ll be with Bell. “Compare Bell’s wireless pricing for consumers in Manitoba and Ontario,” offered Geist. “The cost of an unlimited nationwide calling share plan in Manitoba is $50. The same plan in Ontario is $65. The difference in data costs are even larger: Bell offers 6GB for $20 in Manitoba. The same $20 will get you just 500MB in Ontario. In fact, 5GB costs $50 in Ontario, more than double the cost in Manitoba for less data.

traffic light labels applied at national level. The Commission's original proposal suggested that national governments should be allowed to decide on visual support systems for nutrition labelling. The UK, for example, already uses a traffic light system – red, amber and green – to give consumers information at-a-glance about the content of key nutrients relevant to health. Other countries have been studying the possibility of following suit. The Parliament's position is now being sent to EU member states in the Council and it will be up to them to decide whether they accept such limitations to national rules on the matter. Meanwhile, the House voted to ask producers of processed foods, such as biscuits or prepared meals, to indicate on the front of packaging the content of energy, salt, sugar, fat and saturated fat. These should be accompanied by guideline daily amounts (GDAs) and expressed with values per 100g or per 100ml instead of 'per portion', MEPs said. The report prepared by the Parliament's environment committee was adopted, with amendments, by 559 votes in favour to 54 against amid 32 abstentions. Lobbying battle While consumer organisations and health groups have been calling for mandatory colour-coding for products, industry favours a system of guideline daily amounts (GDAs), which estimates the average daily energy and nutrient requirements for human consumption and provides the percentages contained in a product. The GDA system has already been adopted on a voluntary basis by several large manufacturers. The lobbying campaigns on both sides have also come under the spotlight. Last week, Corporate Europe Observatory, an NGO, claimed that the food and drink industry had invested more than €1 billion in a lobby campaign to block an EU-wide traffic light labelling scheme. "Food industry lobbyists have bombarded MEPs with information about the labelling scheme, in the biggest lobbying campaign seen in Brussels in recent years," the NGO stated. The CEO cited an MEP who estimated that industry lobbyists managed to "drown out the message from public health campaigners on a scale of 100 to 1" ahead of yesterday's vote, as MEPs were bombarded with thousands of e-mails, letters, phone calls, reports, lectures and conferences. The Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries (CIAA), representing food manufacturers, rejected the allegation, saying the one billion euro figure was "quite simply unfounded and untrue". According to a spokeswoman for the CIAA, the figure, which was first cited in a press article in March, corresponded to the estimated cost of fulfilling the industry's commitment to roll-out its voluntary GDA scheme on their products since 2006 under the EU Platform for Diet, Physical Activity and Health. She further noted that EU food and drink manufacturers, like many other consumer and interest groups, have a legitimate interest in following this piece of EU legislation and making sure that European policymakers, including MEPs, are "kept abreast of its views on this important draft law". Country of origin labelling The Parliament also backed a proposal from the environment committee for mandatory origin labelling of meat, fish, poultry and dairy products, even when used as an ingredient in processed food, as well as of other single-ingredient products. It asks producers to indicate where animals were born, raised and slaughtered in a bid to allow consumers to favour products from their region and avoid long animal journeys. Country-of-origin labelling is already compulsory for certain foods, such as beef, honey, olive oil and fresh fruit and vegetables. Label for appetite-enhancing substances The Parliament also voted for mandatory labelling of trans-fats, foods containing nano-particles and appetite-enhancing substances. Furthermore, if a food contains a sweetener, this must be indicated on the front of the package. The Parliament voted against amendments by the House's environment committee which sought to delete nutrient profiles from an existing 2007 EU Regulation on Nutrition and Health Claims made on Foods. The regulation requires food manufacturers to display appropriate nutrient profiles in order to prove claims such as "low fat", "helps your body resist stress" or "reduces cholesterol". If the amendment had

The regulation requires food manufacturers to display appropriate nutrient profiles in order to prove claims such as "low fat", "helps your body resist stress" or "reduces cholesterol". If the amendment had

been passed, the House would have allowed products high in fat, sugar or salt to bear claims (EURACTIV 15/06/10). New labels around 2015-2016? No quick agreement on the draft legislation is expected with the Council and the text is likely to return to Parliament for a second reading. Once the legislation has been adopted, the food business will have three years to adapt to the rules. Smaller companies, with fewer than 100 employees and an annual turnover of under €5 million, will have five years to comply. The European Parliament's draftswoman on the file, German MEP Renate Sommer (European People's Party) declared herself "satisfied" overall with the result of the vote and was pleased that MEPs did not support traffic-light labelling. British Labour MEP Glenis Willmott, spokeswoman on the issue for the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group, regretted that the traffic light scheme was not adopted and said: "If we're serious about tackling heart disease and obesity, we have to help people understand how much salt, fat and sugar is in their food. That's particularly true for products like ready meals and pre-packed sandwiches, where the label is the only way of knowing how healthy something is." Swedish Green MEP Carl Schlyter, vice-president of the European Parliament's environment committee, said that the proposal brings important improvements for consumers who want to be well-informed about what they eat. "The European Parliament today has taken a step forward in the direction of better consumer information, but missed the opportunity for a leap," in particular regarding the traffic-light system, he added. Schlyter also regretted that "Parliament followed the industry's lobbying efforts and even enlarged the exemption for alcohol at the request of the European People's Party, even though alcohol is also a food with a high calorie content, of which most consumers are not aware". Dutch leftist MEP Kartika Liotard (Group of the United Left/Nordic Green Left) regretted that "consumers lost out in today's vote" and criticised MEPs for having given in to massive industry lobbying. "How can you be in favour of clear labelling and colour-coded systems for home energy, cars and electronics and not for food and drink?" she asked. The Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the EU (CIAA) welcomed "the endorsement by MEPs for GDAs within the scope of the Commission's proposal as a positive step in the right direction" for consumers and the manufacturers who already implement them. The CIAA also welcomed the rejection of traffic lights and the deletion of the possibility to introduce parallel national schemes, which it said would confuse consumers and further fragment the EU single market, creating additional burdens for industry operating across several markets. However, the CIAA is concerned by the amendments adopted on country of origin labelling. "This approach does not take into account the sufficient and existing EU legislation in this area with which manufacturers already fully comply," it said. Susanne Løgstrup, director of the European Heart Network, regretted the vote's outcome regarding traffic lights and said "it is now up to the Council of Ministers and individual member states to help people make healthier choices, which they can do by allowing a traffic-light system in their countries". Monique Goyens, director-general of the European Consumers' Organisation (BEUC), said: "Despite being presented with a wealth of independent research confirming that the vast majority of consumers wanted the colour-coding system, MEPs have mystifyingly voted against it. One wonders how we are to convince lawmakers that the fight against obesity and the battle to improve public health needs to start with action today, not tomorrow. There is no doubt that today's vote is a very, very serious setback." But BEUC welcomed the fact that MEPs maintained labelling of nano products and a provision on nutrient profiles that regulate the labelling of health and nutrition claims on food packaging. The European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (UEAPME) welcomed the fact that nutrition labelling was only made mandatory for processed foods and that non pre-packed products were excluded from labelling requirements. The association, however, sees as "

Website: https://cloc.org/ The Singapore Management University (SMU) Centre for Computational Law (CCLAW) conducts applied research in the intersection between technology and law with the goal of improving legal and regulatory services and increasing access to justice. Its flagship Research Programme in Computational Law is supported by a S$15M grant awarded by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF). The Programme will research and develop open source technologies for ‘smart’ contracts and ‘smart’ statutes, starting with the design and implementation of a domain-specific programming language (DSL) that allows for contracts, laws, rules, and business process logic – basically, everything that makes up “law” – to be expressed in code. This paves the way for ‘smart’ contracts and statutes that can be reliably executed by computers to enable precise and accurate performance and compliance. The eventual industry-adoption of the DSL will facilitate the delivery of more efficient legal and regulatory services through digital systems, and will broaden access to justice.

As comorbid cardiovascular disease and its complications have a critical interaction with kidney disease of all types, this 2018 ADR features two chapters specifically addressing these issues—Volume 1, Chapter 4 Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with CKD, and Volume 2, Chapter 8, Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with ESRD. Emergency Department Visits and Observation Stays New for the 2018 Annual Data Report, we present data on emergency department (ED) visits and observation stays. Our comprehensive assessment of ED visits includes those resulting in discharge from the emergency department as well as those resulting in hospital admission. In contrast to declining trends over time in hospital admission rates (see Figure 4.1 above), it is notable that rates of ED visit have increased over time. Between 2007 and 2016, unadjusted ED visit rates for HD patients increased from 2.6 to 3.0 PPY, while rates for peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients increased from 2.2 to 2.4 PPY, and rates for transplant patients increased from 1.3 to 1.4 PPY (Figure 4.14). The frequency of ED visits is relatively high in ESRD populations; the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) reports rates of ED use among the general population of 0.38 per person aged <18 years, 0.40 per person aged 18-44 years, 0.47 per person aged 15-64 years, and 0.58 per person aged 65 years and older (AHRQ, 2018a). They also report the frequency of ED use increasing over time in the general population. The increase in ED visits over time has been primarily among those ED visits that end in discharge from the ED rather than a hospital admission. The percentage of ED visits that end with discharge has grown from 51% of ED visits in 2007 to 56% of ED visits in 2016. ESRD patients 22 to 44 years of age consistently had the highest rate of ED visits during 2007-2016, with the rate of ED visits also increasing faster over time (Figure 4.15). Previously in this chapter, we have reported this age group has a higher hospital admission rate (Table 4.1) and a high frequency of readmission (Figure 4.9.a). This difference in disease burden may be due to different causes and etiology of ESRD among young adults as well as indicative of a potential subpopulation that may benefit from quality improvement activities or care coordination. There is substantial geographic variation in ED visit rates across HSAs, with relatively high rates of ED visits found in parts of the Midwest and South, moderate rates in the Northeast, and relatively low rates in the Plains States and the Western United States (Figure 4.16). In general, geographic trends tend to be similar to those observed for hospitalization rates (Figure 4.4). Observation stays are used by some hospitals as an alternative when an inpatient admission may not strictly be warranted, but a patient could benefit from a period of medical supervision, for example, to rule out serious illness or while waiting for important/critical laboratory results and in some instances for ensuring relief from significant symptoms e.g., bronchospasm or pain. Observation stays are relatively rare compared to other health care services examined in this chapter; however, observation stay rates for ESRD patients approximately doubled in frequency from 2007-2016. Unadjusted rates of observation stays for HD patients increased from 0.16 to 0.38 PPY, while rates for PD patients increased from 0.12 to 0.25 PPY, and rates for transplant patients increased from 0.08 to 0.15 PPY (Figure 4.17). Increases in the use of observation stays have been noted in other populations. The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission found the number of outpatient observation stays increased by 88 percent in the general Medicare population between 2006 and

Increases in the use of observation stays have been noted in other populations. The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission found the number of outpatient observation stays increased by 88 percent in the general Medicare population between 2006 and

2012, from 0.028 to 0.053 visits per beneficiary (MedPAC, 2015). Notably, this shows observation stays are used considerably more often for ESRD patients when compared to the general Medicare population. The rate of observation stays varies geographically, with relatively high rates in several HSAs in the Midwest and South (Figure 4.18). Regional variation in the frequency of observation stays may reflect a variety of factors, including patient appropriateness for observation, local practice patterns, and availability and capacity of observation units. This chapter examines several forms of health care utilization; there are differences in the conditions treated across health care settings. We applied the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Clinical Classification Software (AHRQ, 2018b) to group the principal diagnosis codes observed on Medicare claims into 283 clinically meaningful categories. Table 4.2 shows the ten most common clinical classifications in each form of health care utilization discussed in this chapter. The most common clinical conditions were relatively similar for hospitalizations, readmissions, and emergency department visits that resulted in a hospital admission. In these settings, septicemia was the most common followed by complication of device. Nonspecific chest pain was the leading clinical condition in emergency department visits without a hospital admission and observation stay. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

The original Zelda was pretty much the template for the genre, so one would expect the formula to be improved as more and more Action RPGs graced the big grey box. Well, Zelda II: the Adventure of Link was a big let-down to many a Zelda-fan, if mostly due to the side-scrolling point of view. Crystalis is everything the Zelda sequel should’ve been, and my personal favorite Action RPG made for the NES. Basically, if you’re looking for old fashioned, historically significant, GOOD Action RPG, then Crystalis should be number 1 on your list. It was re-released for the Gameboy Color, though I’ve heard many a complaint about the quality of the port. Having not played that version, myself, I’ll have to rely on someone else to fill in that gap. Never-the-less, you can find the NES cartridge on Ebay, used, for a relatively cheap price, or some of you unscrupulous net-savvy so-and-sos can find ‘another means’ to play the game.

According to an exclusive report from Daily Star, Manchester United have been told to cough up £90 million by Leicester City, if they are to sign star centre-half Harry Maguire in the summer transfer window. Maguire, in the last couple of seasons, has gone on to establish himself as one of the most coveted defenders in the Premier League. Having impressed with Hull City, the centre-back joined Leicester City in the summer of 2017, where he had a solid debut campaign, post which he starred for England in the last summer’s FIFA World Cup. In the 2018-19 campaign, Maguire has turned out on 27 occasions for the Foxes, chipping in with three goals.

According to an exclusive report from Daily Star, Manchester United have been told to cough up £90 million by Leicester City, if they are to sign star centre-half Harry Maguire in the summer transfer window. Maguire, in the last couple of seasons, has gone on to establish himself as one of the most coveted defenders in the Premier League. Having impressed with Hull City, the centre-back joined Leicester City in the summer of 2017, where he had a solid debut campaign, post which he starred for England in the last summer’s FIFA World Cup. In the 2018-19 campaign, Maguire has turned out on 27 occasions for the Foxes, chipping in with three goals. The 26-year-old missed five Premier League outings with a knee injury in November last year, but has largely been one of Leicester’s most consistent performers.

15 people and burying seven more in the rubble, officials said Tuesday. Duration: 00:31 Egypt-building-accident,lead Cairo apartment block collapse kills 15: officials CAIRO, Nov 25, 2014 (AFP) – A building in Egypt’s capital, where two floors had been added illegally, collapsed overnight, killing 15 people and burying seven more in the rubble, emergency services and officials said Tuesday. Countless buildings in the teeming city of more than 20 million have been put up in defiance of the most elementary rules of construction, often without permission, rescue services say. The seven-storey building in the poor Matariya district in the east of the city came down in the middle of the night. “Fifteen people died, eight were injured and relatives say another seven are trapped under the rubble,” Cairo’s emergency services deputy director Gamal al-Galawa told AFP. The department’s chief, General Mamduh Abdelkader, said earlier that investigators were still investigating the cause of the collapse but that illegal construction work was suspected. “We don’t yet know the cause of the accident but we have been told that two storeys were recently added totally illegally,” Abdelkader said. An AFP journalist said rescuers working to clear the debris were struggling to manoeuvre their equipment in a very narrow alleyway. Relatives of the missing and onlookers were digging with bare hands in the rubble. Residents both of the building and the neighbourhood told AFP of building work and two floors added illegally. Mohammed al-Bishlawy, district prosecutor for eastern Cairo, told AFP he has opened an inquiry and asked for the arrest of the building’s owner. He blamed the accident on “renovation work in a second-floor apartment that has affected the structure of the building and the addition of two floors without permission”. Deadly building collapses are not uncommon in Egypt, where safety and planning regulations are widely flouted. Landlords often add extra floors to buildings whose foundations were not designed to support them. ht-gir/srm/kir Tags : Least, kills, Collapses, block, apartment, Cairo, Officials Tags: apartmentblockCairoCollapseskillsLeastOfficials Erdogan answers to EU criticism over Turkey arrests by Editor · Published December 15, 2014 The Uber of helicopters arrives in Sao Paulo by Editor · Published July 19, 2017 GoPro video shows Colombian shootout Next story Turkish Christians return ahead of Pope’s visit Previous story Protesters demand more security in Kenya after bus attack Renate Aller Press / Reviews Oceanscapes – One View – Ten Years Ongoing project. 58 x 89 edition 3 28 x 40 edition 10 Visit Adamson Gallery, Washington, D.C.

For more than ten years, 1999 to present, the artist photographed the sea from the same point on Long Island. The photographs show the dynamics of sky and water, reflection and currents. Depending on weather conditions and time of year, the resulting images may be either dramatically expressive, or peaceful melancholic abstractions. One moment the sea seems to swallow the horizon in its endlessness, another moment the transient phenomena of light and cloud dominate. Like the seventeenth century Dutch landscape painters who depicted a towering sky above a narrow strip of water, Aller also understands the sea-level plane as an endless horizontal space. The fascinating aspect of Renate Aller’s photographs however is the changing interface, the seam between heaven and earth. Sometimes it is glistening and sharp-edged, where the elements seem to be reversed

houn will officially take over on January 13. The Max was grounded worldwide after two crashes — one in October 2018 off the cost of Indonesia and another in March 2019 in Ethiopia — which killed a combined total of 346 people. The company’s board said a change in leadership is needed to restore confidence in the company as it works to repair relationships with regulators and stakeholders. “This is something that we have been asking and struggling for quite some time,” said Ababu Amha, who lost his wife, an flight attendant, in the second crash involving an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft. “The CEO reluctantly and deliberately kept the aircraft in service after the Lion Air crash. The Ethiopian Airlines crash was a preventable accident.” READ MORE: Canadian airlines to feel pinch of Boeing 737 Max 8 production halt The resignation, however, is not enough, Amha said. “They should further be held accountable for their actions because what they did was a crime.” The Max is crucial to Boeing and it’s been unable to get approval from regulators to put the plane back in the air. Sales at Airbus, Boeing’s top rival, surged 28% during the first half of the year. Investigators say that in both crashes, a faulty sensor caused the plane’s MCAS system to push the nose of the plane down and pilots were unable to regain control. Boeing declined to make Calhoun or other executives available Monday. An email to employees said Greg Smith will serve as interim CEO. “This has obviously been a difficult time for our company, and our people have pulled together in extraordinary ways,” Smith said in the email. Earlier this month, the head of the Federal Aviation Administration expressed concern that Boeing was pushing for an unrealistically quick return of the grounded 737 Max. Calhoun says he strongly believes in the future of Boeing and the 737 Max. Boeing said last week that production of the Max would be wound down in January. The shutdown will likely ripple through Boeing’s vast network of 900 companies that make engines, bodies and other parts for the 737. Then United Airlines said it would pull the Boeing 737 Max from its flight schedule until June. The same day, Spirit AeroSystems, which makes fuselages, said it would end deliveries intended for the Max in January, and Boeing’s new Starliner capsule went off course on a planned trip to the International Space Station. READ MORE: Boeing replaces executive who oversaw 737 Max, other planes Board member Lawrence Kellner will become non-executive chairman of the board. “On behalf of the entire board of directors, I am pleased that Dave has agreed to lead Boeing at this critical juncture,” Mr. Kellner said in a prepared statement. “Dave has deep industry experience and a proven track record of strong leadership, and he recognizes the challenges we must confront. The board and I look forward to working with him and the rest of the Boeing team to ensure that today marks a new way forward for our company.” The crashes and the decisions that were made leading up to those tragedies have shaken Boeing. “The company appears to have known about safety issues for quite some time. This indicates that there might be more fundamental cultural issues at the company,” said Tim Hubbard, assistant professor of management at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business. “Furthermore, the recent failure of a rocket test launch indicates that the company might not be as innovative as they once were. Increasing innovativeness and changing the culture of a company the size of Boeing is challenging. One way to jump start changes at Boeing could be new leadership.” Boeing’s new Starliner capsule ended up in the wrong orbit after lifting off on its first test flight Friday, a blow to the company’s effort to launch astronauts for NASA next year. Trades of Boeing shares were halted before the announcement but the stock jumped 3% after the opening bell.

as the Lord had commanded through Moses. 21:8 This is an example of the repetitive style of Hebrew historical narrative. 9They gave these cities which are here mentioned by name from the tribe of the sons of Judah and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon; 10and they were for the sons of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, of the sons of Levi, for the lot was theirs first. 11Thus they gave them Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, with its surrounding pasture lands. 12But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession. 21:10 "the sons of Aaron" This is the special family from the tribe of Levi from which the High Priest and Priests would come (cf. Exod. 28:1). 13So to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasture lands, and Libnah with its pasture lands, 14and Jattir with its pasture lands and Eshtemoa with its pasture lands, 15and Holon with its pasture lands and Debir with its pasture lands, 16and Ain with its pasture lands and Juttah with its pasture lands and Beth-shemesh with its pasture lands; nine cities from these two tribes. 17From the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its pasture lands, Geba with its pasture lands, 18Anathoth with its pasture lands and Almon with its pasture lands; four cities. 19All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their pasture lands. 20Then the cities from the tribe of Ephraim were allotted to the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, even to the rest of the sons of Kohath. 21They gave them Shechem, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasture lands, in the hill country of Ephraim, and Gezer with its pasture lands, 22and Kibzaim with its pasture lands and Beth-horon with its pasture lands; four cities. 23From the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its pasture lands, Gibbethon with its pasture lands, 24Aijalon with its pasture lands, Gath-rimmon with its pasture lands; four cities. 25From the half-tribe of Manasseh, they allotted Taanach with its pasture lands and Gath-rimmon with its pasture lands; two cities. 26All the cities with their pasture lands for the families of the rest of the sons of Kohath were ten. 21:20 "the Kohaths" This is a group which numbered 8,600 at Sinai (cf. Num. 3:28). During the movement of the tabernacle they were to move the ark and its furniture with the altars and the vessels of the tabernacle. We learn from Num. 16 that some of this group, along with part of the tribe of Reuben, rebelled against Moses and Aaron and were destroyed. 21:23 "the tribe of Dan" This refers to the southern allotment of Dan in the coastal southwest part of Canaan. It is obvious from looking at a map that Dan had a difficult time possessing its land because of the Philistines, therefore, part of the tribe had moved north (cf. Jos. 19:47; Judges 18). 27To the sons of Gershon, one of the families of the Levites, from the half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasture lands, and Be-eshterah with its pasture lands; two cities. 28From the tribe of Issachar, they gave Kishion with its pasture lands, Daberath with its pasture lands, 29Jarmuth with its pasture lands, En-gannim with its pasture lands; four cities. 30From the tribe of Asher, they gave Mishal with its pasture lands, Abdon with its pasture lands, 31Helkath with its pasture lands and Rehob with

Posted at 11:17 AM in Compensation, Economics, Recruiting | Permalink | Comments (0) Analysis: IRGC implicated in arming Yemeni Houthis with rockets By Behnam Ben Taleblu & Amir Toumaj | August 21, 2016 | [email protected] | Since July, state-affiliated media in Iran has publicized the Yemeni Houthi movement’s use of a model of the Zelzal-3, an Iranian rocket. Iranian media and the Houthis (officially known as Ansar Allah), however, insist that this model has been produced “indigenously” in Yemen. While prominent government officials in Tehran regularly tout their political support for Ansar Allah, they often reject the charge of military assistance to their campaign. Moreover, despite ambiguity over the degree to which Tehran can control Ansar Allah, the Islamic Republic’s military aid to the group is readily apparent, and has been noted by senior American officials. As such, Ansar Allah’s display and deployment of rockets that feature the same name and number as Iranian rockets further serves to strengthen those ties. The Zelzal, meaning “earthquake” in Persian and Arabic, is a type of unguided, mobile Iranian artillery rocket. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) produced the Zelzal platform during Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), and is reportedly one of the first rockets ever fired by Tehran during the conflict. Although some analysts classify it and the larger Zelzal family as a short-range ballistic missile, Iranian sources attest that it is a surface-to-surface, solid-fueled, “short-range rocket.” The Zelzal comes in three different forms, and can travel upwards of 300 km with a warhead that can “shower” its target with sub-munition payloads. Iran publicly debuted the Zelzal-3 at a military parade in 2007. Ansar Allah’s Zelzal-3 may be a variant of the original Iranian version. A closer look at the Zelzal-3 that the Houthis claim to have domestically produced does not appear to exactly match the Iranian Zelzals. The former have larger fins and shorter bodies, while the Iranian model is longer and can be fired from rail launchers. Iranian media nonetheless has not been shy about highlighting the successful launching of several Zelzals towards southern Saudi Arabia just this past week. The Zelzal may not be the first rocket or missile platform that links Tehran to Ansar Allah. In December 2015, the Houthis revealed the Qaher-1 ballistic missile. According to Janes, this was based off of the Soviet S-75 (SA-2), a surface-to-air missile long present in Yemen. While the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency ran a lengthy article praising Ansar Allah for developing this missile, it also denied Iranian military support to the endeavor, claiming that the blockade surrounding Yemen rendered transfers of such technology impossible. As early as 2014, however, Iran had developed a model of the SA-2, and called it the “Sayyad.” Iran has a history of reverse-engineering projectiles, as well as providing some of these model to its allies. Yet, considering the above-mentioned blockade, the method for transferring the weapon remains unclear. The most likely scenario would involve the IRGC, which may have provided know-how through either the Qods Force or Hezbollah, though the former leads all extraterritorial operations for the IRGC, which in turn produces missiles and oversees Iran’s missile command. In May 2015, U.S. intelligence officials affirmed that both the Qods Force and Hezbollah are active in Yemen. The Qods Force deputy commander Esmail Gha’ani himself has proclaimed that Houthi rebels have been trained “under the flag of the Islamic Republic.” Hezbollah reportedly operates a “train-and-equip program” there.

There is a precedent for the IRGC’s proliferation

of the Zelzal platform to militias. Iran previously transferred the technology and know-how to deploy the Zelzal-2, a 610 mm variant of the original Zelzal, to IRGC proxies, such as Lebanese Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Guard has also equipped Hezbollah with other model of IRGC-produced rockets and missiles. In July, the deputy commander of the IRGC, Hossein Salami, exclaimed that Hezbollah possessed a stockpile of more than “100,000 missiles.” The history of Iranian missile transfer to allies, along with the Iranian media’s brandishing of the successful firing of the Zelzal-3, suggests that the IRGC or its proxies are implicated in the provision of either material or know-how for the latest rocket used by Ansar Allah in the Arabian Peninsula.

Tags: Ansar Allah, hezbollah, Houthi, Iran, IRGC, Qods Force Most of the time, the things we call "petitions" are really just letters signed by a number of people. They might influence the way Council votes, but they don't obligate Council to vote in a certain way. Many of us have signed a petition at one time or another. They are usually used to indicate the support or opposition by a group of people towards a proposed action, in the hopes of influencing a government (or sometimes a private sector) decision. A legal petition, on the other hand, requires Council to take a specific action. Depending on the situation, Council may be obligated to pass or defeat a bylaw, or take the issue to a general community vote (also known as a plebiscite). Because legal petitions carry so much weight, there are rules which must be followed. These rules are set by the Municipal Government Act of Alberta. This Act can be viewed online by visiting the Alberta Queen's Printer. Municipal Affairs publishes this document (PDF) that can be used to identify areas of the Municipal Government Act relating to petitions to council. This document is intended to supplement and explain specific sections or applications of the Act. We are pleased to provide a summary below; however, it is recommended that anyone wishing to file a petition obtain an office consolidation of the MGA, including amendments, and consult your solicitor prior to initiating a petition. Who can sign a petition? Only electors of a municipality are eligible to be petitioners. This means anyone signing the petition must be a Canadian citizen 18 years of age or older. The person must have been a resident of Alberta for the preceding six months, and be a resident of Banff the day he or she signs the petition. The petition must be signed by at least 10 per cent of the population. In Banff, this means that a minimum of 886 signatures are required. What information is required? A petition must consist of one or more pages, with each page containing an identical statement of the purpose of the petition. It also must include, for each person signing the petition: The printed surname and printed given names or initials of the petitioner, The petitioner's signature, The street address or legal address of the land where the petitioner lives, and The date on which the petitioner signs the petition. Each signature must be witnessed by a person 18 years of age or over. The witness must sign opposite the signature of the petitioner, and sign an affidavit that, to the best of the witness's knowledge, the petitioner is eligible to sign the petition.

of the occupiers, 20-year-old philosophy student Ben Stevenson, said today. The occupiers said in a statement that the "savage cuts and substantial rise in fees should not be under-estimated". Their statement added: "We feel that education should be seen as a public good and therefore a crucial investment, and that if education has to be perceived as a commodity, then it is one of our last great exportable commodities, and deserves to be protected. "We oppose cuts that will result in university institutions being a privilege accessible solely to the few. "Our occupation is completely peaceful and we maintain consistency in our objectives and feel this is imperative until our demands are met." The students alleged that the heating was turned off during the cold weather, that they have been unable to leave the building for fresh air and that their internet connection has been cut. People have been turning up with food donations for them and they have been passing the time watching films and maintaining contact with supporters via Twitter and Facebook using a 3G dongle. The students intend to issue a letter to universities encouraging students and staff to sign as a counter-measure to the letter signed by Prof Goodfellow and other board members of Universities UK. Their statement went on: "We have also been in contact with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams. Due to his capacity as Visitor to the University of Kent, we hope he may act as mediator in our current dispute with the university administration." Fellow campaigners at universities across the country, including Bristol, University College London and Leeds, all staged occupations but most ended after two weeks. A candlelit vigil will be held at 5pm on January 1 outside the occupied Senate building to show support for the protesters. The students added: "Our university occupation is now officially the last running in Great Britain and we are aiming to maintain action throughout the Christmas and New Year period until we feel that our demands have been met. "We stand in solidarity with all those who are fighting the cuts and will stand behind those sectors of the society who feel the force of the Government's austerity measures which are wholly unnecessary, as these reforms will not just impact educational institutions but all areas of welfare. "The struggle against cuts is ongoing and this occupation is one form of opposition to the Government's austerity measures. "If the movement against cuts is to have any impact then it will need to be diverse in its methods, dedicated to its aims and well coordinated between the various sectors of society." Nobody from the university was available for immediate comment today. In a previously-issued statement, it said the university had sought to establish common ground with the students. As the students had indicated no intention to leave, they felt it necessary to take legal action and seek a possession order through the courts. The Senate building is due for essential maintenance work and will be needed for university meetings after the Christmas closure, it added. SIC: TI/UK ESB donates one million euro to Society of Saint Vincent de Paul The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) received a welcome boost for its Annual Appeal with an €1 million donation from ESB just before Christmas. “It will help make a real and valuable difference to families and individuals who are struggling in these tough times. It will be used to provide much needed basics for families to help them get through Christmas and the remaining winter months,” said Mairead Bushnell, SVP National President. “ESB has a long history of working with SVP, with particular focus on helping and advising consumers on staying well and warm over the winter months.” She said that the generous contribution reflects the great response from the public to the 2010 Annual Appeal. Calls for assistance to the SVP this year have increased nationally by 35% and in some areas, calls to regional offices are up 50%. In this context, she encouraged people to continue to make much-needed donations as there are so many people in need throughout the country. Speaking about ESB’s donation, Liam Molloy, General Manager, ESB Electric Ireland said, “In view of the particularly challenging times that families and individuals are dealing with at the moment, ESB is making an immediate contribution of €1 million to St. Vincent de Paul’s Annual Appeal to help assist those in need.

The current cold weather is placing extra stress on families, especially so close

to Christmas, so we hope our contribution will provide some further relief to those most in need.” The SVP Annual Appeal had another unusual donation just before Christmas when toys and children’s presents arrived in Dublin from students at the Saarland University in Germany. Over 130 shoeboxes of toys and gifts were delivered to the SVP National Office in Dublin from the English Department at the German University. The students and their Professor, Bert Hornback, were studying the situation in Ireland and decided to make a contribution to an Irish charity. The delivery and collection was sponsored by the Irish-German Fellowship, Saarland. The New Year is getting off to a good start with Jam Café Bakery Deli launching their inaugural 2011 charity calendar, with all proceeds from sales going to SVP. The chain has branches in Kenmare, Killarney, Tralee and Cork “I hope it will be the first of an annual fund raising project and that it will win the support of our customers and friends and hopefully deliver a nice fat cheque to St Vincent de Paul" said James Mulchrone of Jam. "We wanted to do something that would have immediate and local impact. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is always a very worthy charity and never more so than at this challenging time for everyone in our community.” Brendan Dempsey, Cork Regional President, SVP, welcomed the initiative, in times when people are feeling the pinch and the stress rates seem much higher. “The general public and companies have been tremendous, the good will is so obvious that we can’t remember a time when we received so many calls offering help in one form or another, its appreciated and every little helps,” he said. The Jam Charity Calendars is available from any Jam Café, with a suggested donation of €4.50. SIC: CIN/IE Pope told to 'face the facts' of China's religious...

. How do we find you? His name is castle "crasher" I tracked him down and added him :) My son's name starts with L. Cool! My son has been buggin' me! He likes getting new friends! I will have him look for your son. I was glad to find this post. I have been looking for reviews and such for this all day. I am very leery of the conservative/christian vibe. I will do some more reading and see what else I can find out. My lad is only 5 and I don't think he'll quite get the social aspect just yet, but I can see who that would be really appealing later. I thought the price was really great for a year. It took longer than I thought it would for my kiddos to get bored on AI and CD, but it happened. Two months. They were able to completely avoid the Bible-related quizzes, but many of the kid-designed items for "sale" in the virtual shops say things like "My Lifeguard walks on water!" Both made a bunch of "friends" but didn't actually talk/write to them at all. The gender segregation aspect has always turned me off. What is the educational content? I would like to see some more activity on this thread. I am looking into myself, but I'm a: really turned off by the gender stereotypes, and b: worried about the religious feel of it. Does anyone with more experience on the site have anything to say to ease/confirm my worries? I would be incredibly grateful because the program looks really good otherwise. Thanks!! I'll update, since it's been a few years and there have been a lot of mostly positive changes. The content is a lot less gendered now. Obviously, it's still gender-segregated, but they've changed it so that both the boy and girl sites have more of the same medieval fantasy theme. They still have the weird cooking/babysitting-themed games only on the girls side, but they've added so much other academic content since I first posted that those few games are easily lost in the shuffle, and not as prominent as they used to be. Like, it's 3 games out of 200, not 3 games out of 20. I wouldn't say there's a huge religious feel. There are religious games (currently several Christian, and one Jewish). Parents can disable religious games (or any other category of game, if you happen to be against, say, Spelling for some reason). The "Biblical Studies" area on the map, which leads to these games, shows up for everyone, regardless of whether you enable these games or not. But if you disable them, the games themselves won't show up. I couldn't say whether this is purposeful or lazy coding. Religious content from members is present, but not overwhelming. Overall, there is much more secular content than religious, both in terms of games and social/community content. I feel a lot more comfortable recommending it now than I did when this thread first started. We have a lifetime membership for our daughter, and one for our older son. Had I had a crystal ball I would have gone for the family lifetime membership with up to 4 kid accounts, because when that goes on sale, it's the same as just the two lifetime memberships, and we have 2 more kids who will be growing into it in coming years. We've seen a lot of changes since we first joined, too, for the better. And we don't mind at all that it's gendered, because my kids absolutely love that aspect. At 10, my daughter has mostly outgrown it, but it did give her an education in an unexpected way: she learned a realistic perspective on social media, safely. She went through the entire Facebook learning curve, without having a Facebook account: she got drawn in, felt the desire to have a lot of "Friends" and be interacted with on the message board, and then she started noticing that she was liking the other girls a lot less as time went by, because their posts seemed to fall into certain categories, which were either moaning and complaining, bragging, or having something to say back to EVERYONE else in a bid to be the most popular. We talked about it, and dissected the situation.

We talked about it, and dissected the situation. Turns out, the other girls "bragging" would, if shared excitedly in person, just be sharing excitement over something good, or happy news, with a friend. Their "

complaining" would, face to face, be sharing burdens that friends share, and probably elicit hugs and support. Their nonstop chatter about trivia? Face to face, that's just called being friends, having a conversation. It doesn't have to be solving the world's problems, being philosophers, etc. Usually when friends chat, it's not about a whole lot, and they can't tell you what all was said, but they have fun doing it. So the biggest problem is that online social media takes normal social exchanges and flattens them out, removes the immediate personal touch, and without that, everything comes out seeming worse than it does in person. It also removes the positive reinforcement of eye contact and smiles, etc so that the person behind the screen tends to feel more vulnerable to every negative interpretation, and feel less secure that others actually like them. The academics are watery at best on Always Ice Cream/Clever Dragons, and consist of little multiple choice quizzes. Harmless fun if you enjoy it, but not exactly something that teaches. Good for review and drill, on things like multiplication and division, nice little touch-typing tutor. Worth it for the pleasant fun, the little avatars and mini-world, the little games and vetted YouTube content, and learning about the nature of social media and how to view it with more mature perspective before setting foot in Facebook is a huge bonus. My son likes Clever Dragons okay, but mostly just wants to play this one shooter/arcade Dragon game. I think my younger son would like Clever Dragons much more than his older brother does. They have such different personalities. I agree that the cooking/babysitting games on the girls' site would probably offend some people's sensibilities, and I understand why, and agree to an extent, but if you notice how popular cooking/babysitting (or pet-sitting as a more politically correct proxy for it) games are in the gaming world at large, with girls who have the entire game store full of mostly male-centric games, to choose from, it's not something Always IceCream invented. As part of our modular recruitment service, our attract module gives you the benefit of our expertise at a price you can afford. At just £850 it represents a cost-effective way to ensure your recruitment advertising is as good as it can be. If you want help with other aspects of the recruitment service, you can combine with any of our other three modules to suit you and your budget. Writing a job advert, is more than simply regurgitating the job description or listing the main responsibilities and experience required. It takes skill, and needs to be approached with careful thought and consideration. An advert should be written in a way that it attracts potential candidates, highlights why they want to work for you, why this job is perfect for them. Our consultants undergo regular training from advertising specialists and our adverts attract a significantly higher number of quality applications than many of our larger counterparts. As Kirsty and Phil keep telling us, it’s all about location. Having a beautifully crafted advert is brilliant, but not if nobody can see it. We will post your advert on the most popular and relevant job boards, tailoring the advertising package to best suit your role and organisation. As we purchase a large amount of advertising space we have more buying power, which we will leverage to save you money, typically circa £1,000. To buy the same advertising direct, for most of the roles we recruit for, would typically cost in the region of £2,000. As soon as we start receiving applications from candidates we will direct them to you for assessment, or you can combine with any of our other modules for a more comprehensive recruitment service. We have a great range of vapor e-cigarettes in Glenmore available, starter kits for people looking to quit smoking up to advanced vaping kits for the experienced. Welcome to Vapour-Trail, the home of e-cigarettes, vaping and Shisha in Glenmore online.

She recently spent some extended time in Greece, where she has family. She said: “After a month in Athens I asked my friend, the Greek musician Σtella, “What’s one thing I have to do before I leave?” After some long and careful consideration she smiled and said, “you have to go to Rebound. It’s a time warp; kind of an 80s goth disco where everyone does the chicken dance; you’ll love it… but it’s only open on Saturdays after 3:00 AM.” Rebound proved to be a revelation in terms of finding the sound and energy for my fourth album. The club was very dark and despite the no smoking signs, like everywhere in Athens, it was very smoky. The “chicken dance” Stella mentioned was a solitary one. I copied the slouchy strut, moving back and forth in line, swinging my arms in time to the music that at first sounded like Joy Division or maybe The Cure, but never revealed itself– one could only assume it to be knock-off by an unknown Baltic band.

the meaning of life is gnashing our bicuspids over what comes after death but tasting all the tiny moments that come before it. We’re here to be the coach when Wendell, the one whose glasses always fog up, finally makes the only perfect backdoor pass all season. We’re here to be there when our kid has three goals and an assist. And especially when he doesn’t. Reilly competing in the competition called”ferret legging,” which apparently actually exists. Plus Reilly wrote one of the funniest books of the past few years — “Sports from Hell: My Search for the World’s Most Outrageous Competition.” In it, he goes around the world competing in everything from Chess Boxing to the World Sauna Championship to the Three-Mile Golf Hole. And those are some of the less ridiculous contests. Reilly is one of the best sportswriters but would probably be one of the worst horoscope writers. Here’s a quote from his 2011 University of Colorado-Boulder journalism school commencement speech: “We’ll be fine. You guys should hang onto those diplomas. They’re like collectors’ items. It’s like ‘Donald Trump for President’ bumper stickers or polar bears. You’ll never see them again.” So which early piece of writing did Reilly choose to feature here? A Colorado native, Reilly, while still a sophomore in college, started writing sports on the side for the local Boulder Daily Camera newspaper . His first piece in May 1979 was about the local marathon, which even included a short interview with then-Governor of Colorado who was at the race. The article is copied below in text form at the end of this post, with a photo of the print edition version included as well. As Reilly lamented when re-reading the piece for the first time in decades a few weeks ago, “It wasn’t much, was it?” To be perfectly honest… no, it wasn’t. Yet perhaps that just underscores the point: the best writers aren’t made, they’re developed. Here’s how Reilly describes the experience in his own words: The Boulder High School Owl, my first newspaper was called. “Hoo’s Hoo at BHS” I think was one of my columns. Yes, it was. The Owl was HUGE for me because that was the first time I could actually write for somebody else. As opposed to my terrifyingly-detailed “newspaper” accounts of me and my 10-year-old friends’ exploits in Home Run Derby every day and what we did at “night” — I dated Joey Heatherton, I remember, and drove a Rolls-Royce. Also, through the Owl, I competed in the state high school journalism contest, where I won first place in sportswriting. They gave you a list of random facts about some game, all mixed up, some important and some not, and you had to bang out a game story in six paragraphs and 15 minutes. Somehow, I think I got the word “obstetrician” into it. Anyway, the judge was the assistant sports editor at the Boulder (CO) Daily Camera. The problem was he judged the contest anonymously. That is, nobody’s names or towns were on the entries. So he didn’t know who he’d picked. When I won, I tried desperately to find him and ask for a job, but he was gone. BUT… I was a teller at the local bank that summer after my senior year and who do I end up “telling” next to but the guy’s WIFE. I begged her for a month to tell him I was the kid who won the contest and would they need any help? And finally she did and he immediately called me and gave me a JOB, which I worked at 40 hours a week while going to CU [University of Colorado at Boulder]. And, anyway, that’s how I got my break. And now, here is — in both photo and text form — Reilly’s 1979 article about a Colorado marathon.

course, Vinnardo has still recruited more people than everyone else put together... especially with the late addition of Kyrsten Spann from UCSC. Hello everybody! Welcome to the Digest! 6/9 - I was on course to finish the massive task of updating all the links on the webpage, but I had to talk to the Great Vinnardo about important stuff instead [See Below]. It should be done tomorrow, along with new parables and updates. It's back on for the 14th! This is good and bad. Bad because, well, it's the 14th, but good because we can have full MAD FIGS attendance. The Fresno 'FIGS definitely need to have a meeting tomorrow to get caught up and make plans for the game (and transportation). Also, clear your calanders for this Friday (the 13th, I might add)... Vinnardo's coming back! We've got a strategy session to work on, so plan on being there. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORI! Another note for everybody: the game is (hopefully) scheduled for Baker-sfield, California, on June 14th around 11 am... spectators are VERY welcome! > ran around a little bit on the train, that should be worth something. We at HardenedBSD have added support in 11-CURRENT for compiling nearly all of base as Position-Independent Executables (PIEs, for short). This work bumps hardening.version to 45. We've enabled PIE base for amd64 and i386 and hope to enable it for arm64 before or during BSDCan 2016. Compiling an application as a PIE enables it to take full advantage of ASLR. Without PIE support, the application itself is loaded at a fixed address, determined at compile time. As of this writing, only nine applications are not compiled as PIEs. At least two of them must stay that way (/sbin/init and /sbin/init.bak), so that leaves the outstanding list at seven. This is a huge leap forward for HardenedBSD. We have tested PIE base on several amd64 systems, both virtualized and bare metal. We have done multiple amd64 package builds with success. We would like to thank Bryan Drewery for his help. An hbsd-update(8) update archive has been published for 11-CURRENT/amd64 with the "PIEified" base. Update at your leisure. PIE base is enabled by default for amd64 and i386. We hope to enable it for ARM64 before or during BSDCan. Speaking of ARM64, we will be bringing ten Raspberry Pi 3 devices (which are ARM64) with us to BSDCan, eight of which will be given out to lucky individuals.

UK-based company Sky and Space Global Ltd (ASX: SAS), which works to provide affordable communications to the world’s equatorial regions, expands its reach into Indonesia and Suriname. The company has signed a binding memorandum of understanding agreement with Cendrawasih Teknologi Nusantara (CTN) to provide the Indonesian company with nanosatellite connectivity services. The agreement will enable CTN to offer the services to its individual and small business customers throughout the island nation. “A successful collaboration with CTN will provide SAS with initial access to the fast-growing Indonesian market,” says Meir Moalem, Managing Director and CEO of SAS.

U in Indonesia, SAS has also signed a binding MoU agreement with Surinamese Internet Service Provider – Foundation Busie Suriname. Foundation Busie Suriname was granted an Internet Service Provider (ISP) license in 2016 by the Telecoms Authority Suriname (TAS) and provides internet service solutions to individuals and businesses in rural Suriname, South America. Due to the geographic location and number of inhabitants outside of large cities, internet and online connectivity services are unreliable and expensive. The binding MoU formalizes the commercial and technical cooperation between SAS and FBS and marks the commencement of discussions for the provision of SAS’ affordable and reliable connectivity services to the country. The agreement is also the first of its kind to be signed with a connectivity provider in the region. The agreement validates the SAS nano-satellite narrowband connectivity platform and signifies market trust in the company and its technological capabilities. Referring to the agreement in Suriname, Moalem said: “After a successful demonstration in Guyana last month I am pleased to announce we have secured an agreement with a Surinamese local internet provider. This further validates the capabilities of our network and nano-satellites and I look forward to where the discussions lead. We continue to explore and build our relationships within the South American region and I am confident we will be able to secure many more agreements of this kind in the coming years”. SAS is the first company to successfully use narrowband connectivity provided by nanosatellites to deliver a voice call, text messaging and financial transactions capabilities. The cost is a fraction of traditional communications providers. In 2017, SAS successfully launched its ‘3 Diamonds’ nanosatellites as a proof of concept. The launch of the first batch of nanosatellites remains on track for 2019. The timetable calls for launching a constellation of 200 nanosatellites beginning next year when partial service is due to begin. Full scale deployment is scheduled for 2020.

when that happens. The majority of our energy goes into building out the buyer side of our marketplace, growing sync revenues, which is one of the reasons why we purchased Big Sync. The Big Sync team bring a high calibre of music supervision skill and industry experience and we’re only just starting to unlock all of the wonderful synergies between the two companies. We’re also continuing to look at other acquisition opportunities that compliment our licensing business. Our focus on sync is what is driving the success of the platform. Why did you acquire Big Sync? Big Sync have great blue chip brands and advertising agency clients. We see advertising as the key vertical for sync growth. In the majority of cases, advertising sync is the highest value in terms of transaction size however there’s also a growing need for smaller licenses for various content channels. It might be a brand’s social channel, or other owned online channel that requires music and at scale for example. There are many layers of music use that brands need today. In the past it may have been a single track for one campaign; today licensing multiple tracks for multiple campaigns over multiple channels is possible. “Songtradr is now the largest pre-cleared catalog of music in the world.” Part of Big Sync’s [offering] is also to clear music from any label and publisher on behalf of a brand. For example, if they want to license a major iconic artist from a Universal or a Sony, or a major publisher, Big Sync is in the middle of that transaction, negotiating on behalf of the brand. We saw that as an important piece. They also represent over 250 composers, and they do bespoke music. We saw a great fit for our community, so our composers and songwriters can participate in potentially being a part of that, part of the bespoke music creation for brands. The third piece, which made perfect sense, was that Big Sync licenses music from a number of libraries and catalogs. Songtradr is now the largest pre-cleared catalog in the world, so it made sense for us to be another supplier for them, and to complement their operation with the data that we have, and the intelligence that we have around the music as well, so they can better match music to the needs of the brand.Music Business Worldwide Interviews United States Paul Wiltshire Songtradr sync Songtradr – Content Specialist and Copywriter (UK/US) Songtradr completes $12m Series B funding round Songtradr buys music licensing agency Big Sync Music in multi-million dollar deal Symphonic Distribution launches sync licensing arm, Bodega Sync *NEW* The Spectra Precision DG813 Pipe Laser Benefitting from the latest technology developed by Spectra Precision, the DG813 delivers an unprecedented performance when laying pipes. The length of the DG813 has been reduced to make it easier to set up the lasers into tight inverts in the manhole. The DG813 has a grade range from -12% to +40% and is fully self-leveling over the entire grade range. Even the cross axis is fully compensated - providing quick set up and peace of mind that the laser will be level without having to adjust at the bottom of the invert. The DG813 works over a distance of 150m (500ft) providing full operation in a single set-up between manholes. The new RC803 remote control provides full function control and utilizes infra-red light in the pipe for up to 150 meter (500 feet) control. For “over-the-top” setups, the remote utilizes radio communications up to a distance of 130 meter (430 feet). Flexible power options provide 40 hours operating time with NiMH rechargeable batteries and 50 hours with alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries can be used directly at the laser without a separate battery pack. An additional car charger is available for work in remote areas. Large graphical user interface can be seen easily when the laser is in a manhole. All functions are available via graphical menu which makes it simple and easy to use – no secret button pressing and short learning curve means it can be handed to anyone in your crew with little or no training. The same graphical user interface is used at the RC803 remote control.

hill of Nagula muni, the sage who was shrunken with austerities, that was likened to the Kiri (mongoose)”. Maruthapuraveehavalli, a Pandiyan princess, cured of her equine facial features by the waters, built Maviddapuram Kandaswamy temple nearby. The late Dr.Arumugam, an Irrigation engineer by background and Hindu scholar, in his book More Hindu Temples in Srilanka, quotes scientific evidence relating to the mineral content of the waters of Keerimalai and that being the likely reason for the curative properties. There are numerous puranic references to the historic temple, notably in Dhakshina Kailaya puranam. Suta Samhita, a Sanskrit work on Saivaism and part of Skanda Purana, refers to Naguleswaram among ancient sites of pilgrimage, an indication of the antiquity of Saivaism in Jaffna. (A Short History of Hinduism in Ceylon, CS Navaratnam 1964). There are also stories from the epics Mahabaratha and Ramayana which relate to this ancient temple. The Yalpana Vaipava Maalai, credits Prince Vijaya as the one who restored the Siva temple. However the historian and Cambridge scholar, Paul Pieris asserts, “ Long before the arrival of Prince Vijaya, there were in Srilanka five recognised Iswarams of Siva which claimed and received the adoration of all India. These were Tiruketheeswaram near Mahtitha; Munneswaram dominating Salwatte and the pearl fishery; Tondeswaram near Mantota; Tirukoneswaram near the great bay of Kottiyar and Naguleswaram near Kankesanturai. The situation of the shrines close to these ports cannot be the result of accident or caprice and was probably determined by the concourse of a wealthy mercantile population whose religious wants called for attention…”. The impressive Hindu temple on the northern coast did not escape the envy of Portuguese invaders in the early 17th century. In 1621 Naguleswaram was razed to the ground by marauding forces. Yalpana Vaipava Malai refers to a Brahmin priest fleeing the temple but ensuring that at least some of the valuables were preserved, by hiding them in a near by well. It was not any easier under subsequent rulers. In 1878, the savant Sri Arumuga Navalar who led the revival of public interest in Saivaism, campaigned for the restoration of the temple, urging every one to donate in kind or cash for this work. Seventeen years later a consecration ceremony took place. However in 1918 the temple suffered severe damage due to an accidental fire. On the 18th of October 1990, while the auspicious Kedara Gowri fast was being observed in the temple by hundreds of devotees, the Srilankan forces carried out an indiscriminate aerial attack. This resulted in extensive damage to the temple buildings and priest’s quarters. The chief priest and members of the public had to flee for safety. The area was completely out of bounds for seven years. In 1997 the chief priest who was allowed to visit the area with the Additional GA and others discovered the extent of the sacrilege (Case of the missing idols – vandalism or sacrilege? -Weekend Express May 10th 1997). The reparations so far by successive Governments have been far from adequate. The new moon or amavasai is a significant day in any calendar. According to Hindu astrologers, in the month of Aadi, the moon is in the ascendant in Kataka rasi, which is occupied by Sun, and this concurrence is reminiscent of Siva and Sakthi. Hence the special significance of Aadi Amavaasai as a day when children remember their departed parents, notably their late father. It is customary for them to perform ablutions, offer prayers to the departed souls with the help of a priest (dharpanam) and attend a temple of Siva. In Srilanka, Keerimalai continues as the foremost shrine for Aadi amavaasai. The present Chief Priest Sri Naguleswara Kurrukkal took over the mantle when only

22 years of age, after the passing away of his father in 1947. Hence, for an unbroken period of nearly six decades he has carried out this function with great dedication and devotion. Many of his children are abroad as leading priests in their respective countries, returning home to help their father during important festivals. Sri Naguleswara Kurrukal himself has visited the UK five times, the last one following an invitation to officiate in the consecration ceremony of the London Murugan Temple. He has been afforded this honour in several other countries including India, Australia and South Africa. Instead of choosing a comfortable existence in an affluent abode, he toils with singularity of purpose for the restoration of Naguleswaram. Despite the trying circumstances under which he works, he has slowly but surely rebuilt the temple with donations received, to an extent where nearly 70% of the work is complete. The political situation permitting a Maha Kumabhishekam is being mooted within a couple of years. A pre-requisite for this is a raja gopuram or temple tower. Looking for something stylish?

Abstract - Scenarios that involve high rates of launch traffic offer the possibility of bringing about major reductions in the cost of space transportation and hence of greatly facilitating the expansion of human activities in space. One scenario that has received little serious attention to date is the development of space tourism (i.e. the provision of pleasure trips in Low Earth Orbit (LEO ) to fare-paying passengers) into a major industry. This paper investigates the feasibility of this idea. First, the range of entertainments that could be provided in Earth-orbiting facilities is discussed, and shown to be extensive. A survey is made of published estimates of the expected demand for space tourism at different prices. and an attempt is made to quantify the overall potential. Second. the feasibility of providing the required services at the prices estimated to be acceptable is examined. Two particular levels of activity are assumed, and the scope for cost reductions through economies of scale and appropriate design are considered. It is argued that space tourism has the potential to provide a commercial justification for the development of fully reusable launch vehicles with low operating-costs. Space tourism - key to the universe? The reusable booster paradox - aircraft technology or operations? We produce certified organic free range eggs at our farm on the banks of the River Severn. You

new mega game? If I were going to buy the figures, some version of this small game would be a VERY attractive prospect but I have been promising myself that THIS year, I will finally try out my poor neglected spin caster. I don't really nethe units ed a spin caster to produce perhaps a dozen or less of each new figure, so, there is actually incentive to try and find a use for several hundred new figures. If the Little Britain's looked more Britain's-ish and less germanic I'd be tempted to just sell the darn thing and go the easy route but at the same time the prospect of getting back to some sculpting and casting is enticing. So if I'm going to do more 150+ figure armies how do I make the games different? Try again to experiment with skirmish games perhaps? Something to revisit. Lastly and briefly, the Command Control issue is still on my brain, especially for solo games. The only systems that come even remotely close to the real thing are ones where player generals with limited knowledge write orders to subordinate players who in turn write orders for their troops and even those systems seldom deal effectively with the questions of how and why reserves were used. Well, limited info for both sides of a solo game really requires some form of AI to avoid turning rational acts into random ones, so I'll let it slide. The order dice combined with group moves and an ADC as used in Hearts of Tin is still one of the best systems I've used. In this game it nicely reflected the scenarios description of a disorganized pursuit with the General having to balance the need for speed with the efficiency of good order.

going back to just adding some kilts and bearskins for now. I have experimented with various methods for both sets and they have occasionally coincided but generally HofT using a Pip system inspired by DBA as feeling more suitable for the division and higher level battle that it was designed for vs the cards or the alternate Initiative system used by MacDuff.

Home Travel Uganda Airlines announces discounted fares, flight schedules to 7 destinations Uganda Airlines announces discounted fares, flight schedules to 7 destinations By Paul Waiswa The Uganda National Airline Company Limited, rebranded and trading as Uganda Airlines will on Wednesday August 28 2019 take to the sky with its maiden flight heading to Nairobi, Kenya. The development was announced on Friday morning, during a media engagement breakfast that was held at Golden Tulip Hotel in Kampala. Uganda Airlines’ Director for Commercial Jenifer Bamuturaki said the two aircraft CRJ 900 are brand new, with the atmosphere interior, first operator in Africa of this kind and are ready to take to the skies effective 28 Aug and have already undertaken demonstration flights. “The CRJ900 has two classes and these include Business Class that has 12 seats and Economy Class with 62 seats, making a total of 74 seats on each of the aircraft with more leg room, more cabin space, bigger overhead baggage bins than the Embraer. The Uganda Airline officials pose with a section of media at Golden Tulip Hotel on Friday after a fruitful engagement. The Airline takes to the skies on August 28 in its first commercial flight (Photo: Courtesy) It also has a wider galley space for better inflight service, more head space for taller persons and mood lighting-first of its kind”. Bamuturaki also announced promotional fares to all destinations for a period of two month. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), approved a code; UR for Uganda Airlines following the issuance of the Air Operators Certificate (AOC) at the end of July. Now it has been confirmed that the aircraft will fly to Nairobi and Juba twice daily and Mogadishu, Somalia three times a day. The aircraft is also expected to fly to Dar es Salam and Kilimanjaro once a day, Bujumbura and Mombasa three times a week. A return journey to Nairobi has been set at $278 (about Shs 1.026 million), Juba at $225 (Shs 831,150), Mogadishu $590 (Shs 2.1 million), all-inclusive of the taxes. A return ticket to Dar es Salam will cost $286 (Shs 1.05 million), Bujumbura $292 (Shs 1.073 million) Mombasa $325 (Shs 1.195 million) and Kilimanjaro $311 (Shs 1.143 million). The promotional prices for two months of the flights on Uganda Airlines are slightly lower than for other airlines. For instance, a flight to Nairobi at $278, is lower than both RwandAir and Kenya Airways, which cost up to $330 (about Shs 1.2 million) and $350 (Shs 1.287 million) when flying with RwandAir and Kenya Airways respectively.

This pattern coin never entered circulation but has earned a reputation for its attractive and symbolic reverse. Crafted at a momentous juncture in the history of British coinage, the story behind the design is a fascinating one. Today on The Britannia Coin Company blog we're investigating what makes this nineteenth-century design so sought after. Silver Three Graces pattern crown from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. National Personifications and Greek Myths The obverse of this remarkable piece features a high-relief effigy of George III that is quite different from that which appears on contemporary circulating coinage. It preserves the King's distinctive features but is undeniably more flattering. The inscription reads 'GEORGIUS III D: G: BRITANNIARUM REX F: D: 1817'. The engravers name appears below the truncation of the neck as 'W. Wyon'. But it's the reverse for which this coin is remembered. Encircled by the motto 'FOEDUS INVIOLABILE' (Inviolable or Unbreakable League) stand three female figures, dressed in a classical style. The implements at their feet – a harp, a shield bearing the cross of Saint George and an oversized thistle – give clues as to their identities as representations of Ireland, England and Scotland. Close examination detects further symbols in their crowns: shamrocks, roses and more thistles. England - or maybe we should call her Britannia - is perhaps the elder sister, standing taller than the other women who look at her with affection. This is an idealised representation of the union between the three nations, formed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. Wales is not represented here, but then that would have disrupted the neat parallel with the three charities of Greek mythology. The pattern coin certainly owes something to Antonio Canova's statue on that subject, though in the numismatic version the ladies are better dressed. The Victoria and Albert Museum and the Scottish National Gallery jointly hold one version of Antonio Canova's sculpture, The Three Graces, which depicts three daughters of Zeus: Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia. Edited, CC BY-SA 3.0. Victory, Stability and the Great Recoinage Below the figures of the Three Graces are two additional objects which scrutiny shows to be a rudder and a palm frond. In 1817 when the coin was first minted the connotation here would be clear: the palm indicates both victory and peace and the rudder reminds us of British naval supremacy. The Three Graces was struck in the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo and the effective end of the Napoleonic Wars. While the national mood was initially jubilant, decades of military and economic conflict had created fiscal troubles that could not be ignored. Expensive coalitions had left the national debt at more than double GDP. Trade disruptions had limited the supply of silver and copper from colonial outposts. On top of this, a

Expensive coalitions had left the national debt at more than double GDP. Trade disruptions had limited the supply of silver and copper from colonial outposts. On top of this, a

bad harvest and artificially inflated corn prices were beginning to cause unrest. The British government desperately needed to stabilise the currency. The first step in this process? The Coinage Act of 1816. Also known as Liverpool's Act, the law reintroduced silver coins and replaced the Guinea (valued at 21 shillings) with a new gold Sovereign (slightly lighter and valued at 20 shillings). This major turning point in monetary policy meant upheaval at the Royal Mint, then controlled by Master of the Mint, William Wellesley-Pole. New coins would be needed fast and for their designs Wellesley-Pole turned to the circle of artists and engravers that included William Wyon. An Up-And-Coming Artist When William Wyon crafted the Three Graces in 1817 he was in the middle of a meteoric rise. Born in Birmingham in 1795, Wyon came from a family of medallists and engravers. When he turned 14 he became apprenticed to his father, Peter Wyon: a die engraver for Soho Mint. William's uncle, Thomas Wyon Senior, as well as his cousin, Thomas Junior, were both employed by the Royal Mint. In his late teens, William twice won the Royal Academy's silver medal for sculpture. In 1813, when he was 18, his entry to a Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce competition won a gold medal and earned him considerable attention in London's art scene. His high relief depiction of Ceres, a Roman goddess of farming, was adopted by the Society for its agriculture medal. By 1816, William was settled in the capital and confident enough in his abilities to compete for the newly created post of Second Engraver to the Royal Mint. He was appointed to the position and began work under his cousin Thomas Junior, who was then Chief Engraver. Though he already had a thriving career, William also enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools, determined to perfect his craft. John Flaxman's Influence The art world that Wyon was establishing himself in was dominated by neoclassicism. Its proponents were influenced by stories of Ancient Greece and Rome and the simple, symmetrical style they saw in artefacts, engravings and on their Grand Tours. We see evidence of this movement in the paintings of Ingres, the empire-line gowns in Jane Austen adaptions and the columned facades of great buildings of the period, like the British Museum. William Wyon was a pupil of one of the leading proponents of neoclassicism in Britain: John Flaxman. Flaxman was a sculptor and illustrator. His relief sculptures and works on paper had in common a clean-lined style, classical affectations and an inspiring sincerity that influenced many contemporary artists. He became a member of the Royal Academy in 1800 and was later appointed the first professor of sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools. As one of Flaxman's students, Wyon would have learnt from his teacher that sculpture should be a: '… representation of superior natures, divine doctrines and history … assisting in the elevation of our minds towards that excellence for which they were originally intended' Wyon would apply this principle to his medallic work, seeing coin engraving not just as a technical exercise but as a vehicle for the most noble of Enlightenment principles. His Three Graces pattern, with its classical figures and thoughtful symbolism owes much to Flaxman's style and philosophy.

National Pride and Rivalry As well as being a champion of neoclassicism, Wyon's teacher was also a patriot: proud of British art and artists. If Flaxman knew anything about it - and he likely did - he may have expected his pupil and countryman to become Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint, following the death of Wyon's cousin Thomas in 1817. This was not to be the case, thanks to the explosive arrival in England of a Roman engraver, Benedetto Pistrucci. His masterful cameo engravings took the haut ton by storm and

Giro d'Italia's dramatic bike path time trial The 2015 Giro d'Italia opens on Saturday with a unique team time trial tun along the path of an old railway Ciclsita si allenano sulla pista ciclabile tra San Lorenzo al Mare e Sanremo in previsione della prima tappa a cronometro del 98/mo Giro d'Italia, 7 maggio 2015. ANSA/DANIEL DAL ZENNARO (Image credit: Daniel Dal Zennaro) By Gregor Brown published 7 May 15 The Giro d'Italia has previously raced on gravel roads, planks and islands, but when the 2015 race starts on Saturday in Liguria it will be the first time the organiser has run a stage on a bike path. The Italian Riviera will host the opening stage, a team time trial, from San Lorenzo al Mare to San Remo on bike paths that it created from abandoned railway lines. The Riviera dei Fiori bike path will span 60 kilometres when completed. The Liguria region is using the Giro's start partly to promote cycling. It hosts the first four stages, but the first one, a 17.6-kilometre team time trial, is the only one on a bike path. >>> The seven oddest Giro d'Italia stages The route of the opening stage of the Giro follows a bike path Because of its former use by Italy's trains or the Ferrovie dello Stato, the path is narrow and instead of corners, features slow bends. When the nine-man teams are not fighting for space on the two to three-metre wide surface, they will be zipping west towards San Remo, finish of the spring classic Milan-San Remo. Lights illuminate the one tunnel near the start in San Lorenzo. Afterwards, the path continues along the south-facing coast through Arma di Taggia, below Poggio and its famous climb, and into San Remo. Only the last 500 metres are back on normal roads. Giro d'Italia 2015, stage one map A team time trial also kicked off the 2014 Giro d'Italia last year in Belfast. There, the teams had wide roads, but some struggled with the wet surface. Overall favourite, Irishman Dan Martin abandoned on the opening day due to a crash with three of his Garmin team-mates. In 2013, Sir Brad

Emma Drummond / Elizabeth Darrell / Eve Dane / Eleanor Drew / Edna Dawes The Knightshill Saga A Question of Honour In 1896, Knightshill, home of the Ashleigh family for 13 generations, is owned by Sir Gilliard, a general who treats his grandchildren as military subordinates and who is obsessed with the continuation of a distinguished line. A Distant Hero In the second part of the Knightshill saga, Sir Gilliard's determination to continue the distinguished family line remains unshaken despite the interruptions of the Boer War and conflicts with his grandsons. Act of Valour Set on the eve of World War, the Ashleighs of Knightshill have their world turned upside down when the black sheep of the family returns after 12 years. This is the concluding volume in the Knightshill trilogy.

The Burning Land Alex Russell's regiment is sent to South Africa during the prelude to, and early months of, the Boer War.

Forget the Glory Set in the mid-1800s; hungering for a real war in which to prove himself, an English officer who has spent six years stationed in an isolated Indian province wins the hearts of two very different women, whereupon his entire regiment (and an entourage including the women, of course) is ordered to arms in the Crimea, half a world away.

elderly, it’s not often that a young mind is plagued by it. Nor is it often that we see a film that presents the disease for all its tragic realities from the perspective of the sufferer themselves. Still Alice attempts to rectify this, telling the harrowing story of a woman faced with an horrific truth: that she will slowly forget everything she knows and everyone she loves. Alice (Julianne Moore in a gut-wrenching, Oscar-winning performance) is a University linguistics professor with a loving husband (Alec Baldwin) and three adult children (Kristen Stewart, Kate Bosworth, and Hunter Parrish). She begins to forget small things, like names, words and places, and is subsequently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a cruel twist of fate for someone whose livelihood revolves around words. Simple things like remembering where she left her phone become a huge concern, and we see the frustration and embarrassment Alice feels as she attempts to cope and understand what is happening to her mind. In films about Alzheimer’s, the audience rarely gets to see the story told form the sufferer’s perspective. Usually films tend to focus on the way the sufferer’s loved ones have to cope with this dreadful disease, which can either turn out superbly (Amour) or shamelessly melodramatic (The Notebook). In Still Alice we get a first hand account of what it’s like to slowly lose everything that you hold dear, as Alice’s mental state declines, and she strives to make the most of her life before it’s too late. But as her husband, children and friends try to help her cope, they each come to the realisation that eventually the Alice they know and love will cease to exist. Co-directors and writers Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland adapted Still Alice from Lisa Genova’s 2007 novel of the same name. The novel is told from a first-person perspective, with Alice narrating her own story as she spirals into the terrifying unknown. The film keeps this unyielding sense of confusion and fear, as Alice is constantly humiliated and ashamed of what is happening to her mind. Glatzer and Westmoreland aren’t interested in providing flashy and entertaining direction; they’re concerned with something far more important. Their direction is subtle and restrained, a perfect way to show respect to Alzheimer’s sufferers and provide a realistic portrayal of life with a disability. As one of the greatest actresses of her generation, Julianne Moore is consistently good in everything she does. Her performance in Still Alice is subtle, heartbreaking and full of humanity; she anchors the film by a depicting Alice as an unlikely hero who is losing a grip on reality, making her both an unreliable narrator and a tragic figure. Moore is supported by a transformative and endearing performance by Kristen Stewart as Alice’s eldest daughter, Lydia, who at a very young age must come to terms with the fact that she has to place her mother’s life before her own. Tragically, co-director of Still Alice, Richard Glatzer died on the 10 March 2015 after a long battle with ALS. Although he was unable to attend the Oscars to watch Moore win her Best Actress award, Moore paid tribute to her director in her acceptance speech saying, ‘When Richard was diagnosed with ALS, Wash [Westmoreland, Glatzer’s husband] asked him what he wanted to do. Did he want to travel? Did he want to see the world? And he said that he wanted to make movies, and that’s what he did.’ Glatzer and Westmoreland made Still Alice as a tribute to everyone suffering from a debilitating disease, and to their loved ones who have to watch them suffer, and with the film’s heartbreaking final scene, they definitely achieved what they set out to do. In the end, two NGO representatives were invited by the co-facilitators to participate in panels during the State consultations in mid-July and NGOs were able to observe the discussions amongst States and take the floor during side events. Separate NGO consultations were also held on 4 September 2012. NGOs without ECOSOC accreditation were subjected to a procedure whereby States could object anonymously to their participation without providing a reason or any recourse to the concerned NGO.

ial as language limiting participation to ECOSOC accredited NGOs was negotiated out of resolution 66/254 and NGO engagement with the treaty bodies has never been limited in such a way. Alkarama, an NGO that regularly contributes to the work of the treaty bodies, was prohibited from participating because of an objection from Algeria. During the NGO consultations, USA, Canada, Switzerland, Israel and the EU challenged the ‘non-objection’ procedure, stating that there was no agreement on its use, while China, Russia and Algeria argued that the rule is well established for non-accredited NGOs in General Assembly proceedings.

The professional basketball player flew into Los Angeles last week to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Khloe and their daughter, True. While at a house party on the following Sunday (February 17), Tristan allegedly got cosy with Jordyn, kissing her. Witnesses reportedly told TMZ the pair were seen making out at the party, with Khloe immediately ending the relationship after finding out. Sources told the news website ‘she has had enough’. Since news of the alleged split broke, Tristan responded in a now deleted post on Twitter. According to the Daily Mail, Tristan simply tweeted ‘FAKE NEWS’, denying the rumours only hours after they started circulating. Khloe has reportedly responded too, liking an Instagram post about the scandal. Hollywood Unlocked published a story about the split after sources told them ‘Thompson and Woods were all over each other, and, it wasn’t just friendly’. One of our contributors was at Tristan Thompson’s house party and saw what went down! Kylie Jenner we need you to address some thangs with Jordyn Woods. Anyhow, Jordyn Woods stayed at his house until approximately 7am. Who needs to go?! Comment below! On their Instagram, Hollywood Unlocked then shared a screenshot of Khloe commenting on the post with several emojis depicting someone talking. Khloe Kardashian confirms our story. We got you Khloe! It’s not the first time cheating allegations have followed Tristan. Days before she gave birth to daughter True, he was seen on video entering a hotel in New York with another woman. According to the Daily Mail, the footage showed Tristan in a club with two women. One of whom has ‘repeatedly been named’ as Lani Blair, while the other, who posted the evidence on Instagram, Stephanie, goes by ‘ms.stephaniee_’ on the social media platform. Jenner and Woods are yet to respond to the recent rumours. If you have a story you want to tell, send it to [email protected]arable. WHY I BOUGHT FZS V3 OVER HORNET 160R?? 2019 Yamaha FZ 25 Review!!

, family members can use your subscriptions for free! At least for now! In short, I find the launch of Apple News exciting. If there is one company that can pull this off, I can’t think of another one, except Apple. It has 900 million installed iPhones and 1.4 billion devices, a dedicated fan base, a household name and control over the iOS. The upcoming months will be interesting as I can’t wait to see the impact the new service has on the partnering publishers and how the result will change the dynamic between Apple and the opted out publishers. How would a competing service on Android look? Hope we can have some more color on the service at the upcoming earning call by Apple. I wrote yesterday on Elizabeth Warren’s plan to break up yesterday. I thought that was that, but apparently she followed up with a call to break up Apple as she laid out in an interview with The Verge. You were very specific in how you’d break up Google and the rest. How would you break up Apple? Well, are they in competition with others who are developing the products? That’s the problem all the way through this, and it’s it’s what you have to keep looking for. If you run a platform where others come to sell, then you don’t get to sell your own items on the platform because you have two comparative advantages. One, you’ve sucked up information about every buyer and every seller before you’ve made a decision about what you’re going to to sell. And second, you have the capacity — because you run the platform — to prefer your product over anyone else’s product. It gives an enormous comparative advantage to the platform. Users love Apple products because of the combination of hardware and their exclusive software. What good is a phone without functioning and useful apps? Apple distributes apps on their devices through App Store and that’s why I don’t understand what she meant by “breaking it apart from App Store”. From a consumer standpoint, Apple leads all manufacturers in terms of customer satisfaction. If any of her plans were about protecting consumer interests, this one didn’t seem to fit the bill. The latest survey of U.S. consumers from 451 Research indicates customer satisfaction of 99% for iPhone XR, XS and XS Max combined. And among business buyers who plan to purchase smartphones in the March quarter 81% plan to purchase iPhones. Based on the latest information from Kantar, iPhone experienced a 90% customer loyalty rating for iPhone customers in the U.S. 23 points above the next highest brand measured. The most recent consumer survey from 451 Research measured a 94% customer satisfaction rating for iPad overall, with iPad Pro models scoring as high as 100%. Among business customers who plan to purchase tablets in the March quarter, 68% plan to purchase iPads. According to SensorTower, an average iPhone user spent more on apps in 2018 than they did in 2017. If Apple and AppStore are making consumers happy and bringing developers/app makers money, what exactly is the reason for breaking Apple apart from the AppStore, undermining the control over the ecosystem? Also, there is a difference between making money off user data and making money off products/services improved by the use of data analysis. If you can mine data to improve services and products, you must be a fool not to. Website administrators use Google Analytics to improve website performance. Netflix uses data to see what shows you may be interested in. Google uses your data to improve the search algorithm to make it more relevant and fast. What is wrong with all of that? I also fail to recall an instance where Apple released a certain product/service and abused its power to favor the product/service. In short, the interview with The Verge made me even more disappointed in her after yesterday, something I didn’t imagine would happen so fast. A friend of mine mentioned that she represented the left. I don’t think this has anything to do with the political ideologies.

I have been on iOS12 since it was first released and much satisfied with this new version even though my phone is just an iPhone 5S. In addition to the speed and the UI, one feature that I am very happy with is Screen Time. Only does it allow users to keep track of how much

time is spent every day on their phones, but it can break the time down into app categories such as productivity (emails) or social networking (Twitter, Facebook, Slack…). Moreover, users can put a time limit on each category and application’s usage. Once a limit is applied and reached, the categories or apps in questions are temporarily unavailable. It means that users have to manually remove the limits first in order to activate the apps again. I tend to apply Downtime from 7-10am to avoid distraction and maximize productivity (I let YouTube through to listen to work/focus music videos that are usually hours long on the app). In this Internet era, focus is a luxury. Everybody’s attention span is destroyed and distractions are everywhere. This feature, though reversible, helps us avoid that reliance on our phones and regain some productivity. I have always been a fan of Apple, but the admiration for the company grows every year. The company often draws criticisms such as lack of innovation, predatory practices and pricey products. While some of their practices such as expensive accessories or making features obsolete after only 2-3 years are good points (I am on my 3rd Mac charger that costs $85 more or less each), I wouldn’t do it any differently if I were in Apple’s management team. The same goes for high prices. If my company had such a degree of inelasticity (demand isn’t much affected despite higher prices), I’d do the same. Plus, Samsung increased the price of its flagship phone to $1,000 too but it hasn’t sold as well as its Apple counterpart. Granted, Apple is rarely the first to introduce stuff. They prioritize in doing it right and I like that approach. What’s the point of introducing new stuff if it doesn’t work well? Ask Samsung 7. Instead, innovation from Apple is the ability to deliver more performance and add more features to a small device year after year. Imagine the yearly tasks of coming up with the design of the hardware, getting it right so that customers are so happy, deciding on what features to add, manufacturing the chips, rewriting the software, integrating the hardware and software, planning the distribution, strategizing the line-up to avoid cannibalization…It sounds exceedingly complex and difficult to me. The result? They are the first American company to reach a trillion dollar market cap. Their average selling price for phones increased after the introduction of iPhone X. Revenue and profit keep rising. And customers are happy. I have a mid-2012 Mac and an iPhone 5S. They are still working well and I don’t imagine I’ll come back to Windows or Android any time soon. This morning, Apple did it again with a plethora of updates to their Watch and iPhone. A lot of new features and performance are added to small devices. Some enhanced products come at more or less the same price as last year’s new-then arrivals. I was impressed by the Apple Watch. It is now FDA-approved and can detect irregular heartbeats, ECG as well as falls. At this rate, I’d not be surprised in a 3-4 year time that their Watches will be instrumental to people’s health tracking and safety. I think Apple is a brilliant example of focus, product-centric design, strategy and execution. I think this is my favorite strip of yours yet! The "I'm afraid of phones" bug is totally me. Thank goodness for ordering pizza online! I’m afraid of saying something stupid. On the phone, when people can’t see your face and tell if you’re joking, this can be bad. It’s worse when they can hang up on you. I’m guessing that’s why we’re afraid of phones. Im only afraid of calling, not answering the phone. i always have to ask girls to call me, intsead of the other way around, which is rather sad. I’m afraid of phones because… The first time I ordered pizza no one could decide on what they wanted, so I hung up. I called back and opened with, “Hey, it’s me again.” I was 14 and told that if I didn’t order my own pizza, then we wouldn’t get to have any pizza. Oh, thank god it’s not just me!!! I just hate phones, twitching every time that damn thing rings, but I’m not afraid. I love the E

The U.S. Senate recently confirmed the appointment of Alexandra Dunn as Assistant Administrator for Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (“OCSPP”) at the U.S

. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). Ms. Dunn had most recently been a Trump appointee as EPA Regional Administrator for Region 1, based in Boston. During Ms. Dunn’s confirmation process Senator Thomas Carper of Delaware raised issues related to the Agency’s regulation of chemicals, including the approach to the use of science in regulation. Most of the emphasis was on the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”) and the implementation of the related Frank Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act for the 21st Century. However, several significant pesticide policy issues were also raised, including use of science in reviews of pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (“FIFRA”), as well as regulatory issues related to worker protection and applicator certification. The Agency set forth its position on these issues in a letter from Acting Administrator Wheeler to Senator Carper. In fact the proposal raised significant alarm in the scientific community. Concern was expressed that rather than promoting sound science, the proposal would undermine EPA’s reliance on science because it would rule out otherwise valid studies whose underlying data was confidential. See for example a letter from the editors of four major journals, who objected to the proposed policy and EPA’s assertion that the policy was in line with the policies of the journals in question. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6388/eaau0116 Acting Administrator Wheeler has now committed to having the proposed policy reviewed by the National Academy of Science. Although the outcome of such a process will be somewhat influenced by the charge which is given to the NAS in referring the issue, many critics are likely pleased by this outcome. In the same exchange policy changes were also announced with respect to pesticide Worker Protection Standards and applicator certification rules. EPA had spent several years developing a new certified applicator rule, which was promulgated on January 4, 2017. See 82 Fed. Reg. 952. The most controversial aspect of the rule changes was the imposition of a nationwide requirement that person applying restricted use pesticide must be at least 18 years of age. Notwithstanding an exemption for family members under 18 applying pesticides under the supervision of a family member, agricultural interests still pushed back on the age restriction. As a result EPA had proposed extending the effective date of the rule and reconsidering the age restriction. See 82 Fed. Reg.60196 (December 19, 2017). Mr. Wheeler has now announced that EPA will withdraw its proposed revisions from the Office of Management and Budget, and will not lower the age restriction nor designated representative provisions, another controversial aspect of the worker protection rule. Wheeler did state that there may reconsideration of the application exclusion zone (AEZ”) aspect of the worker protection rule, but if so would do so through a public notice and comment process.

The huge march as shown is almost at its completion on upper Fifth Avenue prior to arriving at the 'front doors' of Central Park. Pictured above are two members of the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association ("S.V.A."): grandly Queen Allyson Allante, also of the Imperial QUEENS & Kings of Greater New York ("IQKNY"), and John X. O'Brien ("JOB"), also of AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power ("ACT-UP")! The openly-Gay fellow in the car 'riding shotgun' wearing the rainbow headband is Andreas "Andy" Bahmann of Frankfort and West Berlin, Germany! Behind Andy is Stonewall veteran Beverly Bluegown, also of the S.V.A. and the IQKNY, wearing a spaghetti strap blue gown. It is a veiled Gay reference to "Alice Bluegown" (code term meaning the 'police') in the Stonewall Era! 'Blue' is derived from the color of the New York City Police Department ("NYCPD") police uniforms. The scene above was a multi-media street press conference and a strategizing pit-stop. That is why you see people standing in different directions. On the left in the photo is the towering Trump Tower and in the distance on the right is the landmark Empire State Building, both on Fifth Avenue. The sign "Justice for Marsha" refers to S.V.A. charter member and Gay Village character, Stonewall vet and transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson, who was found floating dead in the Hudson River after "Stonewall-23" just two years prior near the Gay people's Christopher Street pier. Mr. Randy Wicker, a Gay pioneer and active supporter of the S.V.A., created the sign and he is holding it.

The "Spirit of Stonewall March" -- marching from Sheridan Triangle Park in the original Stonewall Club area on Christopher Street across Waverly Place through part of Greenwich Village and then, from the Washington Square Arch, all the way up Fifth Avenue and into Central Park at the Avenue of the Americas entrance -- was the real Stonewall March! This historic march was sponsored by the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association ("S.V.A."), the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power ("ACT-UP"), the Imperial QUEENS & Kings of Greater New York ("IQKNY"), the G.L.B.T. Political Coalition and the PRIDE Democrats of New York City -- and no other G.L.B.T. organizations! Not one international G.L.B.T. group! "It is the Gay Pride march that virtually everyone said ....could never and would never happen". The S.V.A., under the innovative leadership of its founder and elected president Willson L. Henderson, declared and promised that the march would happen one way or another, with or without arrests. NYC Mayor Rudy W. Giuliani and NYCPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton are the two people who ultimately made eveything possible. Seasoned Judge Robert Patterson (a former head of the Legal Aid Spociety) helped, too. So did civil rights attorney Norman H. Siegel, Esq. of New York City and solid S.V.A. supporter. The "Spirit of Stonewall March"

The "Spirit of Stonewall March" -- marching from Sheridan Triangle Park in the original Stonewall Club area on Christopher Street across Waverly Place through part of Greenwich Village and then, from the Washington Square Arch, all the way up Fifth Avenue and into Central Park at the Avenue of the Americas entrance -- was the real Stonewall March! This historic march was sponsored by the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association ("S.V.A."), the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power ("ACT-UP"), the Imperial QUEENS & Kings of Greater New York ("IQKNY"), the G.L.B.T. Political Coalition and the PRIDE Democrats of New York City -- and no other G.L.B.T. organizations! Not one international G.L.B.T. group! "It is the Gay Pride march that virtually everyone said ....could never and would never happen". The S.V.A., under the innovative leadership of its founder and elected president Willson L. Henderson, declared and promised that the march would happen one way or another, with or without arrests. NYC Mayor Rudy W. Giuliani and NYCPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton are the two people who ultimately made eveything possible. Seasoned Judge Robert Patterson (a former head of the Legal Aid Spociety) helped, too. So did civil rights attorney Norman H. Siegel, Esq. of New York City and solid S.V.A. supporter. The "Spirit of Stonewall March"

did happen and it happened big time! Uniquely, this march had only one main vehicle the "Stonewall Car" and the SVA's trailer car for SVA-ers' personal effects, supplies, etc. The march was led by the classic and historic blue 1969 convertible with the big whitewall tires and the white leather interior also known as the "Stonewall Car". This monumental event in a word, to quote a number one Diana Ross & The Supremes' song of The Stonewall Club jukebox, was "The Happening"! ACT-UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power), at its zenith, was the driving force in making this alternate Gay Pride March happen. Unlike the 'official' "S/W-25" committee, ACT-UP had the approach representing inclusion of, respect for and consideration of the veterans of the Stonewall Rebellion -- the unquestionable sole reason that there is a "Stonewall 25"! This alternative march was clearly for the Gay people and allies not the corporate money interests. The bottom Gay line was that both the "Spirit of Stonewall" led by the S.V.A. and the "Stonewall 25" marches converged at the main entrance on West 59th Street to Central Park to evolve into the biggest Gay Pride Rally in history anywhere in the World! "STONEWALL 25" Brochure of the 'Official' "L.G.B.D.T." March on the United Nations Queer Note: The "International Stonewall-25 Committee" incredulously referred to the community as "L.G.B.D.T."?! These soupy letters are shamefully historically wrong, besides stupid, and chronologically inaccurate -- especially on a long-awaited anniversary day of celebrating our true history. "Stonewall" the rebellion and the civil rights movement that was launched was inclusively about "Gay Rights", "Gay Power" and "Gay Unity" not 'Alphabet Soup' created a decade later by bored and boring revisionists. And, what in their "LGBDT" the hell is the "D"? Divorced? No! Dyke? No! It's Drag"! OMG! They were more whacked than we knew.... Can you imagine that people allegedly in the "community" -- though from California -- didn't know that "drag" (an unappealing word by itself) is considered part of the "Transgender" community? Obviously, not! Read their brochure. To "celebrate" (as in steal) the Silver Anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, this 'official', bureaucratically-organized, self-serving, overly well-funded but misappropriated, ad hoc, clandestine group thought of just about everything -- except the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion Veterans! Was the uprising computer-generated, asked SVA's Willson Henderson? Very little ever recognizes, nevermind honors, the people who created the "Pride"! This oddly concocted group -- an expanded version of the Heritage of Pride, Incorporated (they're very into incorporation) with some of the same cast -- used our "STONEWALL" event to rake in endless cash for themselves from Gay people and Gay supporters from all around the world but zilch for the founding Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender ("G.L.B.T.") organization -- the National STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association ("S.V.A."). The S.V.A. represents the people, living and deceased, who actually made this historic event happen in the first place. They were the mostly kids who were regular patrons of the Mafia-owned and operated The STONEWALL Dance Club and Bar! In fact, with an out-of-control budget of millions of dollars, "the committee" did not even offer "gas money" (about $19.69) to fill up the tank of the historic 1969 blue convertible "Stonewall Car" which led the alternative Stonewall march into Central Park. Stop! The Stonewall International Committee including our local Heritage of Pride and company did not even invite the car! Rude! Dum! This ad-hoc group was so 'smart' that they 'voted' to hold the 'protest' against

The name of the episode is "Well, That Just Happened". Sutton has verbally committed to Columbia College in Columbia, Missouri and will sign his National Letter of Intent on November 10th. This is the culmination of a recruiting journey that has ran through the COVID riddled high school and summer sports seasons and the work that Sutton and our family put in through these seasons. I review how Sutton started the recruiting process by setting up parameters to the college experience he might want and then he started building a list of colleges. Sutton sent introductory emails, his Player Profile and email updates as he performed at a high level and did well on his ACT test and GPA in high school. His baseball metrics like throwing velocity, hitting exit velocity, and his speed in the 60 yard dash and his athletic abilities translated into skills that coaches want and need to fill their rosters. Sutton gained attention from D3 and NAIA schools as he emailed those schools and talked to his high school and summer coaches to pin down schools that would fit his playing ability and educational needs. Sutton's unofficial visits and camps and showcases were integral to his options and final decision. I also do something I probably shouldn't do by comparing my oldest son, Parker, and Sutton to each other and then show some differences in their recruitment paths. Like I have said many times, if there are 1000 high school student-athletes, then there will probably be 1000 different recruiting paths taken.

that, instead of listing general guidelines, we could propose a gradual and multidisciplinary process of annotation, which leads the reader from the first look at the book or document to its scholarly analysis. Each section of this manual corresponds to a specific set of actions, illustrated by a scanned sample from the Jarring Collection, on the model of Gacek (2009), and provides resources to solve potential issues, including bibliographical references for readers who need to extend the set of actions in relation with their discipline. The second section provides an introduction to the codicology of Chaghatay manuscripts, and allows to use the main elements of description to situate the manuscript within the multilingualism and literary production of Central Asia. The thrid section presents the different items that usually structure the contents of the writing, in order to obtain a complete overview of the source as well as a general understanding of its contents. In the fourth section, we develop tools and methods to facilitate the edition as well as the translation of Chaghatay books or documents, so that readers can avoid a number of philological pitfalls and reduce misinterpretations. The sixth and last section goes a step further towards the manuscript annotation by offering examples of scholarly analysis - especially but not exclusively historical and anthropological - of writings according to the genre or sub-genre they belong to. Let's look at some sample pages of Turki manuscripts from the Jarring Collection, Provs. 41 and 365. The terms introduced here are explained in detail in the rest of the manual. First, take a look at [Prov. 41], the Risale of the Bakers (رسالۀ نانوایلق). It has are double incipit (opening-words) pages, a ruled border with frames inside of it. On top middle of the pages, there is an initial textual formula which has frame of its own. However, in the Jarring collection, apart from some risale manuscripts, most others don't have rule-border and frames. Under the formula there is the rubricated (red) title that says, رسالۀ نانوایلق بو ترور 'This is the risale of the bakers'. Many manuscripts in the Jarring Collection lack titles; where titles appear, they are often written in black ink. Under the title there is the standard superscription which starts with Surāh Al-Fatiha, the first verse of the Qur'ān. The Turkic text starts after the superscription, and there is a catchword on the first incipient page. (A catchword is found at the bottom of one page that repeats the first word on the following page.) The Quranic text was written in a different script from the Turki text: The Turki text was written in a script calledNastaʿlīq, while the Quranic texts were usually copied in Naskh or Thuluth scripts. Folio 4 of Prov. 365 is a a poetry manuscript in the Jarring Collection. The page's text was written in Nastaʿlīq script, and there are mid-line breaks between verses. The poem is read right to left, from the first verse to the next separated by mid-line break. The subtitles were rubricated, and one can identify catchwords in the lower left corner of the page, which correspond to the beginning words of the first line in the next page. Some manuscripts such as Folio 56 of Prov. 365 have marginalia, that is, additional writing around the edges of the pages, serving as notes (and written by the current scribe or a later reader). On this page's religious poem, these notes are marginalia glossing, i.e. translations or explanations of unfamiliar Arabic or Persian terms for the Turki reader. These are some of the common features of these manuscripts. No matter where in the world, manuscript production, emendation, conservation, and variation share many common features. Some of these features were introduced above, and include using different scripts for religious vs. secular texts, and adding borders, marginalia, and or catchwords. Another unavoidable feature of manuscripts anywhere in the world is their instability, that is, changeability. This section "Textual instability in a Manuscript Culture" has been adapted from a 2016 version of the Harvard Chaucer project's METRO resources. When we talk of "text", below, we are generally referring to the content (what the manuscript says).

Social media is a great way to stay in touch with ‘Cars 3’ Puts Series Franchise Back on Right Track Brian Fee Margo Martindale Ray Magliozzi Tony Shaloub CHICAGO – The Cars movies continue to be the kiddieland of Pixar Animation franchises. Kids adore them, parents tolerate them. Unlike the best of Pixar’s output, the Cars films are lovingly crafted cartoons aimed squarely at kids with far more attention detail than the average fare you’d find scrolling through Netflix. The best that can be said is that “Cars 3” represents a considerable step up from “Cars 2”. Unfunny ‘Masterminds’ is a Complete Waste of Talent Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 30, 2016 - 10:15am CHICAGO – Tick…tick…tick. That is the sound of your life frittering away, if you choose to experience the 94 minutes, that feels like two weeks, for “Masterminds.” The film that has virtually no laughs – in categorizing itself as a comedy – and is an almost criminal waste of some decent comic talent. ‘Zoolander 2’ Continues Silly, Surreal Hilarity Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 12, 2016 - 8:42am Derek Zoolander Zoolander 2 CHICAGO – Humor is subject to the receiver, of course, and what is funny is as distinct to each individual as a fingerprint. Having said that, I found “Zoolander 2” to be hilarious, as it delivered again what made the first film work – tweaking the self-importance of fashion and celebrity. Probable Events is the Situation in Tense ‘No Escape’ Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 26, 2015 - 4:11pm Shajak Boonthanakit Sterling Jerins CHICAGO – In a very unstable world, and in a sense that these problems are international, we all can be stuck in war at any time – there is no way to get away from it. “No Escape” takes this notion to the extreme, with an American family – led by Owen Wilson – caught in a war zone. Beyond Being Trippy, ‘Inherent Vice’ is a Difficult Trip Submitted by PatrickMcD on January 9, 2015 - 9:18am CHICAGO – Interpreting the ambling and sonic prose of author Thomas Pynchon has eluded filmmakers until now. Director Paul Thomas Anderson takes a whack at “Inherent Vice,” and although much of the film has his usual eminent vision, as a whole it makes for difficult sledding. ‘Are You Here’ Feels Like Mashup of Two Different Films Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 25, 2014 - 9:20am Edward Hermann CHICAGO – You would think that a film written and directed by Matthew Weiner – the creator of “Mad Men” – would be worthwhile company, especially when the cast includes Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Amy Poehler. It is disappointing to

note that not only was this cliché-ridden mess unpalatable, but it also switched gears two-thirds of the way through to evoke a different mood, and that schizophrenia didn’t help the overall product. Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson Lack Brass in ‘The Internship’ Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 7, 2013 - 8:05am 20th Century Fox Film Corporation CHICAGO – Dang, dang, dang. C’mon, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, how about a little anarchy? “The Internship” is a perfectly nice little comedy about old dudes trying to break into the new world of Google employment. But this new world is just another empire, and nobody wants to topple it. Owen Wilson, Steve Martin, Jack Black Flock Up in ‘The Big Year’ Submitted by PatrickMcD on October 15, 2011 - 1:01am CHICAGO – “The Big Year” is advertised as a comedy. The subject is bird watching, or as the new film likes to express the proper term, “birding.” It stars comic legend Steve Martin, and funnymen Jack Black and Owen Wilson. It is both not funny and is ACTUALLY, seriously about birding. Time to fly away. Despite a Ferrari Predecessor, ‘Cars 2’ is a Honda Requiring Repair Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on June 24, 2011 - 3:16pm Ben Queen Brent Musburger CHICAGO – “Cars 2” is an unequal Pixar blend for adults and kiddies that never evolves into the storytelling success of its predecessor. The film, which draws thematic elements from “The Bourne Identity,” “Beverly Hillbillies” and “Transformers,” is a Honda needing a body shop as compared to the pristine Ferrari that was “Cars”. Woody Allen’s Charming ‘Midnight in Paris’ Delights Submitted by BrianTT on May 27, 2011 - 9:01am Kurt Fuller Lea Séydoux CHICAGO – Writer/director Woody Allen and the amazing cinematographer Darius Khondji (“Seven,” “The City of Lost Children”) very purposefully open their new film “Midnight in Paris” with a long series of static shots of the title city before even presenting a cast list. You see, Paris is a cast member in this film. The sun rises, people hustle and bustle through Paris, they sip coffee in cafes, the lights go on at dusk, and the city sleeps. Home > News > Archives > 2014 > Are big companies getting a better tax deal? Are big companies getting a better tax deal? Big company profits and their seemingly low tax liabilities have frustrated governments around the world, particularly as the impact of falling tax revenues hit the coffers. The Tax Justice Network Australia recently released a report into the practices to Australia's Top 200 ASX companies, revealing that: Nearly 1/3 have an average effective tax rate of less than 10% 57% have subsidiaries in tax havens or low taxing jurisdictions 60% report debt levels in excess of 75% of equity. What this equates to is that 29% of ASX listed entities have an effective average annual tax rate of 10% or less and 14%, including James Hardie, have an effective tax rate of 0%. Australian media mogul Kerry Packer once said when asked if he was minimising tax: "Of course I am minimising my tax. And if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax, they want their heads read, because as a government, I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra!" Tax is like any other cost in your business. It should be managed effectively so you don't pay any more than you need to. But here's the problem, a company has to make a profit to pay company tax. The problem of profit and company tax Coming out of the GFC where jobs were shed and investments shelved, it was a bit

The truth was, she'd grieved every day for seven months as the cancer in her mother's chest spread throughout her body, into her lungs and down to her bones.

she exclaimed as the old lady swerved in her lane again. "I'm miserable, sure, but I'm not ready to check out yet. Maybe you need to have a driving test or something." M. R. Pritchard says One thing I have come to learn, is where there is soil, there are roots. And it won’t be long before they come for me. I can feel them already, stretching through the dirt, reaching for me like a corpse from the ground, calling to me. I kick myself towards the door, my back against it. I scream. I yell. I bang on the old wood with my fists. I call for someone, anyone, to help me, to let me out of this soil walled room. But no one comes. They’ve left me, all of them. Even Dylan, the one person I had left. I watched him swim away, he didn’t even look back. There’s nothing but silence from the dungeon on the other side of the door. Michelle Roberts says The orphanage was locked up tight—like a prison. One Kollin had to escape. He tiptoed around the perimeter of the boys’ sleeping chamber. His empty pallet lay forlorn in the midst of the sleeping boys, but Kollin was on a mission. The doors stood directly ahead of him, but they were probably locked. They were always locked. The gates to leave the compound were always guarded; just as the oldest boys were guarded coming and going from their jobs. Gods forbid that any of the orphanmaster’s labor force run away in the night. Stephanie Garber says The lightships always came to port on Sunday. Sometimes if I looked hard enough from my boardinghouse window, I swore I could see this planet’s murky brown sky change color. Fragments of blue and white, like pieces of broken stars, signaled the great ships’ arrivals. jeffwenker says I sat in my well-worn Lazy-Boy watching Monday Night Football, cursing the Minnesota Vikings, cursing Dan Dierdorf, just plain cursing, when The Roommate walked in, raised a magnum of Anchor Steam and said, “Off your ass, Jack, we’re celebrating!” T Aydelott says Drowning Macbeth was an accident. We hadn’t been planning anything so off-script as that, even though our plays usually wound around themselves and did funny things at the end. There were only four of us, so we combined roles and collapsed scenes to make the plays our own. It was never neat when we got to the end of a play. Miss March, who taught literature and wore a bitten pencil in her hair, would have hated it. But we never invited anyone to our performances, not even our brothers, though they sometimes helped out with rigging up the sets and finding some of the more obscure props. They could have asked to watch, I suppose, or maybe they had and we’d forgotten because it was so long ago. Mostly they left us to ourselves and made it seem like they never had time for our antics. And, anyway, what fun is a ruined play to a bunch of boys who train dogs and hurtle up and down trees and are planning to be dragon-wranglers or wood-mages? Mark Hough says They called her the pig-woman. No one said it to her face of course—that would be suicide—but they all thought it just the same. She had a great meaty head, a face like a grapefruit gone bad, and a vast, swollen body that left the meat traders desperately trying to get the words “price per pound” out of their heads. I shouldn’t shape at school. That knowledge is always there, like someone used a staple gun to fix the warning into my grey matter. Sometimes I do it anyway…and then I feel guilty. Arianna Mercer Liane says That summer, there was garbage everywhere. Huge piles of black plastic mouldered under the sun in the parks, while the stench of decomposing fish heads and rotting diapers slithered into our scented, suburban homes. In apartments high above the city, women fanned themselves with old copies of Elle and Harper’s Bazaar while men turned up the air-conditioning and installed domestic trash compactors. Dogs nosed out decaying chicken carcasses, rats chewed on sour milk cartons. The wind, fetid

ingo German, Gary Sanchez, Toronto Blue Jays Dwight Gooden was recently arrested for cocaine possession By Danny Abriano | Jul 12 | 1:47PM July 8, 2000: In a "true" Subway Series doubleheader, the Yankees defeated the Mets at Shea Stadium before sweeping the doubleheader in the Bronx. Dwight Gooden returned to Shea in a Yankees uniform and earned the win. (AP) Former Mets RHP Dwight Gooden was arrested for cocaine possession on June 7 in New Jersey, according to the New York Post. The 54-year-old was charged with third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Post. He was also charged with being under the influence. Gooden has battled substance abuse issues since 1986, when he missed the Mets' World Championship parade due to his drug use. He then missed the start of the 1987 season in order to undergo treatment for cocaine abuse. He was also suspended by MLB in 1994 for violating his drug aftercare program. Yankees GM Brian Cashman leaves door open to using prospect Deivi García this season The 20-year-old pitching prospect is rising through farm system The Yankees may be able to find some pitching help within their organization this season. GM Brian Cashman, who is searching for another starter on the trade market, acknowledged on Jim Duquette's SiriusXM radio show that 20-year-old prospect Deivi García is "pushing himself into the mix" for helping the team this year. Cashman also ruled out using García in a trade package for a mere rental. "Are we going to give up Deivi García for a rental somewhere? Clear not," he said. Yankees' Aaron Boone says Luke Voit could return over weekend Boone also provides updates on Severino, Betances New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit hits a home run against the Los Angeles Angels in the first inning at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. (Richard Mackson/USA TODAY Sports) The Yankees placed first baseman Luke Voit on the 10-day injured list prior to the All-Star break and he won't be there much longer, according to manager Aaron Boone. Voit was injured (abdomen) running out a double against the Boston Red Sox during the team's London series earlier this month. Speaking to WFAN's Mike Francesa on Thursday, Boone said Voit will be returning by Monday at the latest. "Voit will be sometime in the next couple of days. Probably won't be activated tomorrow. Might have him do one rehab game. We'll talk through that," Boone said. "He'll likely be back at some point this weekend or certainly first of next week."

(Matt Eisenberg/SNY) The Yankees have one prospect listed on Keith Law of ESPN's midseason Top 50 prospects list, and it should come as no surprise that it's Deivi Garcia -- the diminutive strikeout machine who is now just one step away from the majors. Law writes that Garcia, who is just 5'9", has been featuring a fastball that sits between 90 and 96 MPH but that hitters "cut through his fastball like he's throwing 105 with spin." While Law is somewhat bearish on the ceiling of Garcia due to his small stature, he still heaps high praise on the 20-year-old. Will the Yanks make a big trade to add a pitcher in the second half?

ingo German, Gary Sanchez, Toronto Blue Jays Dwight Gooden was recently arrested for cocaine possession By Danny Abriano | Jul 12 | 1:47PM July 8, 2000: In a "true" Subway Series doubleheader, the Yankees defeated the Mets at Shea Stadium before sweeping the doubleheader in the Bronx. Dwight Gooden returned to Shea in a Yankees uniform and earned the win. (AP) Former Mets RHP Dwight Gooden was arrested for cocaine possession on June 7 in New Jersey, according to the New York Post. The 54-year-old was charged with third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Post. He was also charged with being under the influence. Gooden has battled substance abuse issues since 1986, when he missed the Mets' World Championship parade due to his drug use. He then missed the start of the 1987 season in order to undergo treatment for cocaine abuse. He was also suspended by MLB in 1994 for violating his drug aftercare program. Yankees GM Brian Cashman leaves door open to using prospect Deivi García this season The 20-year-old pitching prospect is rising through farm system The Yankees may be able to find some pitching help within their organization this season. GM Brian Cashman, who is searching for another starter on the trade market, acknowledged on Jim Duquette's SiriusXM radio show that 20-year-old prospect Deivi García is "pushing himself into the mix" for helping the team this year. Cashman also ruled out using García in a trade package for a mere rental. "Are we going to give up Deivi García for a rental somewhere? Clear not," he said. Yankees' Aaron Boone says Luke Voit could return over weekend Boone also provides updates on Severino, Betances New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit hits a home run against the Los Angeles Angels in the first inning at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. (Richard Mackson/USA TODAY Sports) The Yankees placed first baseman Luke Voit on the 10-day injured list prior to the All-Star break and he won't be there much longer, according to manager Aaron Boone. Voit was injured (abdomen) running out a double against the Boston Red Sox during the team's London series earlier this month. Speaking to WFAN's Mike Francesa on Thursday, Boone said Voit will be returning by Monday at the latest. "Voit will be sometime in the next couple of days. Probably won't be activated tomorrow. Might have him do one rehab game. We'll talk through that," Boone said. "He'll likely be back at some point this weekend or certainly first of next week."

Murray-USA TODAY Sports (Noah K. Murray) Anthony McCarron, SNY.tv | Twitter | Life is good for a baseball team that is 57-31, the best record in the American League. But while the Yankees might be favorites to go back to the World Series for the first time in a decade, that doesn't mean the second half of the regular season is just about lining up the playoff rotation. Yes, even juggernauts have potential trouble areas and question marks. With that in mind, we offer five things to watch while the Yanks try to hold their sizable 6.5-game lead in the AL East over the season's final two and a half months.

Guys like Madison Bumgarner, Marcus Stroman, Trevor Bauer and Zack Wheeler have all been linked to the Yanks, who may be another quality starting pitcher away from a championship. If you're a bettor, hammer the "over" on the Yankees acquiring one. However, there's another way they can improve their pitching staff for the stretch run. Risky as it may be, the Yankees could try to catch lightning in a bottle by calling up 20-year-old phenom Deivi Garcia. It sounds ridiculous, right? Throwing a 20-year-old rookie into the pressure of a pennant race in New York City? The kid isn't even old enough to drink the celebratory champagne that would be flowing in the clubhouse! Former Yankee and 'Ball Four' author Jim Bouton passes away at age 80 Bouton wrote one of the most critically acclaimed sports books to ever go to print Former Yankees pitcher and author of the critically acclaimed book "Ball Four" Jim Bouton has passed away at the age of 80 after battling brain disease that had been linked to dementia. Bouton pitched seven of his 10 big league seasons in Yankees pinstripes from 1962-68, winning 21 games and earning an All-Star nod in 1963. He won 55 games overall with the Yankees, posting a 3.36 ERA, and was a part of the 1962 World Series championship group. Despite a lengthy career as pitcher, Bouton is more widely known for being the author of "Ball Four", one of the most acclaimed sports books ever written. Yankees' Masahiro Tanaka admits baseball 'just doesn't feel right' this season Add the Yanks starter to the list of pitchers unhappy with baseballs It has been a question to all pitchers so far this season: Does the baseball feel different? Well, you can add Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka to the group that feels something is off. "Probably the right word to say is, it just doesn't feel right," Tanaka told NJ.com's Brendan Kuty through a translator.

8, 2020 Senate Holds Hearing On Hurricane Sandy Recovery Former Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn has died after a long fight with prostate cancer, The Oklahoman reported Saturday morning. He was 72-years-old. "Tom A Coburn, MD, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed away peacefully at home this morning surrounded by his family," his family said in a statement. "Because of his strong faith, he rested in the hope found in John chapter 11 verse 25 where Jesus said, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, will live, even though they die.' Today he lives in heaven." A memorial service will be scheduled for a later date and will be announced, his family said. Coburn, a Republican who began his career in the House in 1995, was known as a political maverick and someone who spoke their minds. He was a fierce conservative and opponent of wasteful spending by the federal government. Every year, Coburn would release the Wastebook, where he would highlight some of the biggest forms of wasteful spending by the government. He was elected to the Senate in 2004 and retired in 2015. Coburn was a doctor before entering politics, delivering more than 4,000 babies in his career as a doctor in Muskogee. Vice President Mike Pence called Coburn a "great conservative voice in the United States Congress" and an "American physician whose legacy will live on." "Karen and I send our deepest sympathies and prayers to his family during this tough time," Pence wrote on Twitter.

I still love you. I loved you more than anyone on earth. But I'll never trust you." There's really nothing I love more than the prospect of a weekend when I know I'll be going to the theatre. It seems to put a spring in my step the whole week leading up to it. Last Saturday I saw one of the very first preview performances of Skylight at the Wyndham's Theatre. Let me just start off by saying that it turned out to be my favourite out of all the plays I have ever seen in my lifetime. I'll admit I was initially drawn to this production when I heard that Carey Mulligan was going to be making her West End debut stepping into the lead role. I've always loved her work in film and with Bill Nighy acting opposite her, you know there must be something special about a play when actors of their calibre choose to do it. The plot is described: "On a bitterly cold London evening, schoolteacher Kyra Hollis receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant, a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died. As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires." When I enter a theatre, the first thing I instinctively look to is the stage and how it is set. It will hopefully give me an idea of the context of the opening scene. Well I must admit the stage for Skylight struck me by seeming very 'ordinary'. It was the inside of a rather dingy apartment, a small kitchen on the right, a table and a few chairs to the left. After over 15 minutes of staring at this same arrangement, the lights dimmed and the play began, the walls of the apartment slid open to reveal a further area to the back containing a bed and bathroom. Beautiful, verging on rather haunting music is played as Kyra enters the apartment and between that and the eerie light illuminating the backdrop of the apartment complex, I thought to myself, this is it, it's going to be magical (trust the daydreamer in me to look for even the slightest fantastical elements in things). Well it didn't exactly go in the direction of my expectations but don't get me wrong, it was still absolutely 'magical' in an extremely realistic and thought-provoking way.

First of all I think this is probably not a play for everyone. You're either going to love it or dislike it. It's safe to say not much happens at all during the

course of the 2 hours in terms of action. Essentially the whole play is a long running conversation between Mulligan's character, Kyra Holis, and firstly Edward Sergeant, then Tom Sergeant (the father). While the opening scene serves to introduce the names and relationships between the characters, it's not until the next act when Nighy's Sergeant Sr. pays a visit to Kyra's apartment that things start to get very interesting indeed. Both actors were devastatingly brilliant at portraying the emotional turmoil between them but more importantly the differences deep in each other's personal beliefs and value systems which ultimately leads to their inability to continue their lives with one another. It's a strange yet utterly compelling idea, that two people could be as close to soulmates in almost every possible way yet are still unable to be together. One of my favourite exchanges between the two characters went like this: Tom: "I could never understand it. I still don't." Kyra: "There we are. I always felt profoundly at peace. I don't know why, it still seems true to me: if you have a love, which for any reason you can't talk about, your heart is with someone you can't admit - not to a single soul except the person involved - then for me, that's love at it's purest. For as long as it lasts, it's this astonishing achievement. Because it's always a relationship founded in trust." Hidden corners in my mind that were previously never explored, grew as this intoxicating story unfurled and gradually filled it, testing different boundaries in my rational thinking, all the while giving me a fresh outlook on life and society. Times of heightened emotions really touched me so I was glad that there were brief spells of comic relief infused in the witty banter. After a while the play becomes so real that you feel as if you were sitting in that apartment with Kyra and Tom. When she goes to make dinner, the actress actually cooks live on stage and the delicious aroma swiftly fills the entire theatre. I'm rather known to be drawn to stories about relationships like this, usually anything to do with broken romantics and a resulting cynicism will intrigue me. I found both the characters of Kyra Hollis and Tom Sergeant to be extremely likeable and relatable (albeit flawed but that's what makes them all the more understandable in my eyes), and each with their own defining virtues. Kyra's strength and compassion combined with Tom's humour and charisma appealed to me even if they did not serve to work well together. In my opinion, Skylight provides a very emotionally intense and intellectually challenging viewing in just four scenes. If you enjoy stories that give you plenty of food for thought (and if you go with someone else, much to discuss afterwards), I'd definitely suggest going to see this gem of a play. Skylight is at Wyndham's Theatre in London until 23rd August 2014. BLOGLOVIN' | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | TUMBLR Images 2 & 3 via Just Jared, all other images are my own. Posted by Andini Ria at 08:16 9 comments Teach-the-Brain You are here: Home / News / Global out-of-school rate not decreasing Global out-of-school rate not decreasing September 6, 2017 By teachadmin NEW YORK – With 11.5 per cent of school-age children – or 123 million – missing out on learning today, compared to 12.8 per cent – or 135 million – in 2007, the percentage of six to 15 year olds who are out of school has barely decreased in the last decade, UNICEF said today. Pervasive levels of poverty, protracted conflicts and complex humanitarian emergencies have caused this rate to stagnate, UNICEF said, calling for more investments to address the reasons that keep vulnerable children out of school. “Investments aimed at increasing the number of schools and teachers to match population growth are not enough. This business-as-usual approach will not get the most vulnerable children into school – and help them reach their full potential – if they continue to be trapped in poverty, deprivation and insecurity,” said UNICEF Chief of Education Jo Bourne.

I am, look at me.” That was making history—to be visible. That’s the biggest challenge still. Every day there are so many people in our community who still invisible in various ways. If everyone came out, they (anti-LGBTQ politicians) wouldn’t be able to do to us what they’re doing today. What are your strongest memories of the day itself? I remember holding my breath, just as we stepped off on the march I didn’t know if people would cheer or boo. Suddenly I heard people cheering. I didn’t know if I was going to cry, I was so excited and breathless that people were cheering for us, for something that we had been hated for for our entire lives. At that moment we knew we had made history. We didn’t know how many people would show up, certainly more than we expected. Afterwards we went to bar called Satan’s and heard from the activist Morris Kight that activists including Troy Perry, who founded the Metropolitan Community Church, had gotten arrested. (Perry will speak about his arrest, his night in jail, and much more in his forthcoming interview with The Daily Beast.) An argument ensued about whether we should go to the police station or wait to get them out in the morning as we would not be able to get them out at that hour. Finally, it turned into not quite a fight, but some people wanted Morris to shut up and poured beer over him. It was kind of like the wild west. One guy said to Morris, covered in beer, “Morris you’re all washed up.” That was our gay liberation night. What happened in the morning? They got out. Then we did a sit-in for 10 days at the Federal Building. Davis was looking for an excuse to arrest us, but the cops couldn’t arrest us because it was a federal plaza. We sat there for 10 grueling days trying to get civil rights and marriage equality. Some people were fasting. Some protesters said they had met with police and gotten concessions. I don’t think they did, but sometimes people said that to stop something that had become fruitless with no winner. We got publicity and now it was the July 4th weekend, everyone was gone, and really it was time to go home. This was 50 years ago. Has the LGBTQ movement delivered what you expected? In some ways I never thought back then that we would have marriage equality. l remember one of the early Gay Liberation Front meetings in New York, where we sat in a circle and talked about what we wanted. One woman said she wanted to get married. We all laughed at her. We thought she was crazy. Back then we couldn’t even hold hands in public without getting beaten up. We thought that was really “far out,” as we called it back then. We weren’t interested in marriage, imitating what we saw as heterosexual failed relationships. We really thought we as outlaws could change straight society. We used to say, “We’ll never go straight until you go gay.” We had a more ambitious image of transforming heterosexual culture to be more androgynous and be able to give up on the idea of monogamy and the patriarchal system. Marriage hadn’t worked out so well for heterosexual people. We had a very different idea. It makes me very sad that we left out non-conforming people of all sorts. The marriage equality movement threw gender non-conforming and trans people under the bus, and didn’t cherish people who wanted to live a different kind of life—people who wanted to live as single people or sleep with everyone in town or live as a “throuple.” We wanted to see what could be done, not to have what has already been done. That was our ambition then as radicals. I was a feminist, I certainly didn’t want a traditional coupledom. What did you want, or still want? I’d also like to see more protections for LGBTQ families, and in particular an end to violence against transgender women of color. It’s an epidemic. There were a lot of transgender women in the movement back then, and except for Sylvia (Rivera) and Marsha (P. Johnson) these women have been forgotten. That’s sad. It’s disgraceful now to see some feminists attacking trans women, at a time when the right wing are attacking us. We should embrace one another. I fully support my trans brothers and sisters. I

I am, look at me.” That was making history—to be visible. That’s the biggest challenge still. Every day there are so many people in our community who still invisible in various ways. If everyone came out, they (anti-LGBTQ politicians) wouldn’t be able to do to us what they’re doing today. What are your strongest memories of the day itself? I remember holding my breath, just as we stepped off on the march I didn’t know if people would cheer or boo. Suddenly I heard people cheering. I didn’t know if I was going to cry, I was so excited and breathless that people were cheering for us, for something that we had been hated for for our entire lives. At that moment we knew we had made history. We didn’t know how many people would show up, certainly more than we expected. Afterwards we went to bar called Satan’s and heard from the activist Morris Kight that activists including Troy Perry, who founded the Metropolitan Community Church, had gotten arrested. (Perry will speak about his arrest, his night in jail, and much more in his forthcoming interview with The Daily Beast.) An argument ensued about whether we should go to the police station or wait to get them out in the morning as we would not be able to get them out at that hour. Finally, it turned into not quite a fight, but some people wanted Morris to shut up and poured beer over him. It was kind of like the wild west. One guy said to Morris, covered in beer, “Morris you’re all washed up.” That was our gay liberation night. What happened in the morning? They got out. Then we did a sit-in for 10 days at the Federal Building. Davis was looking for an excuse to arrest us, but the cops couldn’t arrest us because it was a federal plaza. We sat there for 10 grueling days trying to get civil rights and marriage equality. Some people were fasting. Some protesters said they had met with police and gotten concessions.

It’s disgraceful now to see some feminists attacking trans women, at a time when the right wing are attacking us. We should embrace one another. I fully support my trans brothers and sisters. I

think to deny trans people their full humanity and right to exist is awful. I just don’t have strong enough words for LGB people and feminists spending their time attacking trans people in this political environment. What should the LGBTQ movement do now? One of the things we were adamant about back then was being intersectional, although we didn’t have that word. In 1969 and 1970, we formed alliances with the Black Panthers and other left-wing groups. Today, I would like for these organizations that are mostly focused on just the LGB community—and too little on the T—to think more broadly about really aligning in more meaningful ways with other organizations; really to mean it when they say that Black Lives Matter. It’s easy to talk the talk but those organizations that don’t walk the walk need to step aside and let those from the POC and BIPOC communities to lead us. This is the next step. How do you see the Trump administration’s LGBTQ animus, and importance of the November election? I think this election is the most critical election we’ve ever faced. Trump has done incredible damage by appointing 200 federal judges to the courts. We can’t begin to fathom the amount of damage we’re facing going forward. If we don’t get Trump out of there and don’t flip the Senate, we are in for tremendous trouble in the future. I would have hoped for a better, stronger, more forward-thinking Democrat candidate, but I would be willing to vote for a cabbage over Trump if it were running. NEW YORK CITY: Mark Segal Mark Segal, then 18, participated in the Stonewall Riots in New York City, and was one of the original founders of the Gay Liberation Front. He was a marshal at the first New York Pride march—the Christopher Street Liberation Day March—in 1970. He is the founder and publisher of Philadelphia Gay News, and author of And Then I Danced: Traveling the Road to LGBT Equality. What do you remember about that day in 1970? For me, it’s one of the most memorable days of my life. There are few days you remember—my wedding first, of course, but this is up there because that day I knew would be the start of a substantial movement for equality. We had created something. First had come Stonewall. From the ashes of Stonewall had come the Gay Liberation Front. The Gay Liberation Front changed everything for the LGBT community, or at that time the gay community, in terms of what it ever thought of itself and what we will be. What was that era like? There was no LGBT community before the Gay Liberation Front. The only places where LGBT people could go were private parties, or where they met in parks, or the few illegal gay bars there were and they were only in the major cities. And there were some small gay organizations like the Mattachine Society and Daughters of Bilitis, which did small demonstrations. They might have had meetings, but very few people showed up because they were scared the police would raid them. At Stonewall, it was a riot. No one was expecting anything to come from it, with the exception of (activist) Marty Robinson. Three things about Stonewall stand out. First of course there was the violence of police. Personally I had never witnessed this before, and the police, and their behavior, represented the oppression each and every one of us had been going through our entire lives. I remember standing across the street from the Stonewall and saying to myself, “This is 1969. Women, Black people and Latino people are fighting for their rights. What about us?” That moment was when I decided to devote my entire life to this movement. You don’t think in the middle of a riot whether it will be historic. You think, “Will I be safe?” and there was also a lot of joy. Some of the depictions of Stonewall are false. While there were people throwing things at the bar and chaos, there was a sense of joy. We were fighting back for the very first time, fighting as a unit, and there was power in numbers. There were a lot of people running around having fun. It was probably the most joyous riot you have ever seen, because the heavy weight of oppression lifted that night. We felt that that oppression was being lifted by our very actions. What happened after the first night of rioting? Somewhere during

So, you’ve just gotten your porcelain veneers placed and you’re ready to show your smile off to your friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else who decides to strike up a conversation with you. Whether you got them to boost your self-confidence, or because you’re a rising movie star, they require a certain level of self-care to make last. With the right tips from your cosmetic dentist in North Raleigh, you can make them last for up to 20 years! Not only does tobacco make teeth stain to an undesirable yellow color, but it only increases your risk of developing gum disease. This is due to all the cancer-causing ingredients tobacco manufacturers use. Furthermore, all tobacco products should be avoided if you intend on keeping your teeth looking white, including chewing tobacco, shisha used in hookahs, or cigars. You’ll also end up with chronic bad breath and a dry mouth, which makes it easier for oral bacteria to move and multiply. The three worst beverages for staining include coffee, wine, and dark teas. While all three can easily break down the resin coating on top of porcelain, coffee and wine are particularly acidic, which only accelerates the problem. If you must drink these beverages, it’s recommended that you do so through a straw. Tea can easily be iced to make this method simple, and while drinking wine through a straw may seem strange, it’s better than damaging your veneers. Using your teeth as a tool is not advisable, even if you don’t wear porcelain veneers. If you open bottles or packages with your teeth, you can easily chip, crack, and erode your tooth enamel in the process. Even though porcelain is strong, it’s not designed to replace the scissors or bottle opener you should be using. Furthermore, take the extra time to address habits that damage teeth, including nail-biting, chewing on pens, and chronic teeth grinding. When you visit your dentist in North Raleigh, he’ll do far more than simply examine your mouth and perform a cleaning. He can tell you if your veneers are becoming damaged and when they’re getting close to needing replacement. He’ll also be able to provide recommendations on the best oral care products that clean veneers, without accidentally damaging them in the process. Want more tips on caring for your new veneers?

Dowell, Orlando Sentinel) Being chosen the area's best girls lacrosse player as a sophomore was great for Ellie Yenor, until she found out about a photo shoot with the boys Player of the Year. "I was so nervous and awkward," said Yenor, now a senior at Timber Creek. "The boy who won was a senior, and I didn't know him. I was like, oh my god, so nervous." Winning felt amazing, Yenor said, but also came with pressure to be the best from that point forward. Many underclassmen this year may relate. Ten of the 32 all-area athletes of the year who were honored Tuesday at the Sentinel's Varsity Sports Awards Show were not seniors, including two freshmen and two sophomores. "It's a big honor," said boys soccer Player of the Year Chase Gwynn, an Orangewood Christian sophomore. "I didn't expect to win. "I knew a lot of the good players in the area and had a bunch of friends on other teams, and we would always talk about how good the seniors are. It's definitely going to put pressure on me. There are more expectations now, but it gives me motivation to go out and win it a couple more times." That can be tough; ask Yenor. She was not selected as the Player of the Year as a junior, and it was . . . annoying. "I was more annoyed with myself for not putting in more work and being the best I can be," Yenor said. "I knew I didn't deserve it, and that helped me this year push myself harder. "I said, 'OK, I can't win this as a sophomore and not the rest of my high-school career. I have to continue to practice.'" This year, Yenor won her second all-area Player of the Year award for girls lacrosse and also was chosen the Metro Conference overall girls athlete of the year. The pressure might not get to everyone, though. Apopka boys bowling coach Todd Hauser said sophomore Petey Vergos is such a seasoned veteran that losing competitions only gets him down for about 24 hours. "He is a very mature young man who has been competing at a super high level for a long time," Hauser said of the boys bowler of the year. "I don't think it adds pressure to have to come back and defend his title. If he didn't [win again], he's a guy who would sort of let it roll off his back and be looking toward that next thing, next year." Port Orange Atlantic freshman Kristina Zieglar was shocked when she was selected girls tennis Player of the Year despite clinching a Class 2A state title and finishing 21-0. "It really helped my confidence," Zieglar said.

Tommy Shots embarrassed Bronx baker who claimed he was an initiated Colombo mobster JURORS IN A Colombo crime boss’ trial Thursday heard the never-before-told story of how Louie Cannoli got creamed. The Bronx baker should consider himself lucky that he didn't end up the seventh DOA on crime boss Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli’s alleged hit parade of victims who crossed the crime family. In what may be a fate worse than death for a mobster, though, Louie Cannoli got “de-pantsed” — humiliated — for his transgression, a turncoat witness testified at Gioeli’s trial. “Cannoli,” whose legal name is Calogero Borgognone, was blabbing that he was a made member of the Colombo family when he was actually a mere mob associate, witness Reynold Maragni explained. Gioeli summoned Borgognone to a sitdown at La Palina restaurant in Brooklyn sometime in 2007 where he dressed down the baker. “(Gioeli’s) exact words were he was told to, ‘Go in the corner and stay there and don’t come out. I want you to behave.’ ” “That’s enough to embarrass a man and de-pants him,” Maragni said, explaining that the rebuke was delivered in front of five Colombo made men. Defense lawyer Sam Braverman, who represents co-defendant Dino Saracino, asked the witness what the penalty is for claiming you’re a goodfella when you’re not. “It could range from a kick in the pants to whatever,” Maragni said. Borgognone, who makes the pastries at his son’s restaurant Patricia’s on Morris Park Ave., could not be reached for comment. But his son Alex Borgognone said, “I don’t even know what the Colombo family is, have a good day,” before hanging up. Then Alex Borgognone called back to say: “I’m sure my father was never in any meetings at restaurants,

A vest is worn over his dark shirt and he looks as if he might go on the street and do a couple 'magic tricks' for some extra cash.

We'd be better off if news was all just independent people online these days..." She says with a huff and then a look back over at him. "Nice hat." She says, her green eyes up on it before they drop back down to his red. She smiles at him softly. "Missin'. Yes. A'course. Though its nice t'have ya closer, so I don't have t'jump in the truck and go searchin' for ya out there... it's gettin' cold again, ya know..." She looks at the cards and then back at him. "We could go out some night, lookin' for people t'beat up. I do it from time to time still. Find some thugs to put in their place... Lots of'em out there these days..." Remy seems to smile, in a way that the corner of his mouths seem to reach his eyes a bit as a chuckle echoes, eyes looking at the cards he's dealing for no particular reason. "Glad you're takin' a likin' to my fashion statements, chere." He smirks at her. "But I'm findin' myself in agreement. Same ol' thing each an' every time. Someone murdered, someone got de piss kicked out of 'em, thievin' - now that one I understand clear as day - and arsony, or some costumed people runnin' around causin' trouble." He shrugs. "Could do some difference, maybe it will help your friends like me better." He teases her playfully. "It's nice to be closer to you, chere." He smirks, though his eyes give her an unashamed once-over. "Could give ya my ol' coat to warm you up, or offer some o' me to help you feel better." Yes, he probably won't ever stop. "Like a date night? Hit de town, punch some people, have a good time? I like de sound of that. Maybe get some good bayou cookin' afterwards?" All of this has Rogue smiling at him as she leans back in to the corner of the sofa with her hands still on her lap. "Butt kickin' an' dinner, that's right." She says back at him with a small laugh following her words. "But yeah, somethin' like that could be fun. And they do like you, Remy, they just worry about your runnin' off and not tellin' anybody where you're goin'. Imagine that..." She chides him a bit there at the end. Her eyes glance at the tv before back to him. "Did you get any food tonight? I didn't see ya in the dinin' hall. There's a lot of left overs still. Meat Loaf night." She says with a little grin. "It's good. Forge cooked it. Who knew he could cook?" She shakes her head lightly then before sitting forward on the sofa to pick up some of the cards to try and shuffle them, badly. Its hard with gloves on! Give her a break! "Did

simple fedorah cap with a card in the strap is on the table, and dark-colored suit pants are worn on Remy's legs. A vest is worn over his dark shirt and he looks as if he might go on the street and do a couple 'magic tricks' for some extra cash. Though Rogue comes in through the double doors of the Rec Room and he turns his eyes to her with a flirty smile. "Bonjour, Chere. Was wonderin' when I was going to be seein' you next." Remy pats the space beside him so she can sit there if she so desires. "Vegas trip? Nah. Lookin' at the news reports, talkin' about crime and how crazy people are gettin' these days. Thinkin' about doin' some heroics like de X-Men, no? Think I could fit de bill?" He seems to scrap his game, gathering the cards in one deck and bridging them. "You miss ol' Remy?" He winks at her. Rogue has her gloved hands on her thighs and slips off the arm of the sofa to sit down beside him. Her stare goes from him up to the tv and then back at him. "Watchin' the News is like hittin' yourself with a hammer. I don't know how those places even make enough money t'keep their lights on.

Its hard with gloves on! Give her a break! "Did

you know that every time you shuffle a full deck'a cards its a new order that has never been shuffled before in the history of mankind?" She asks as she looks over at him with a little grin. "I heard that on Tik Tok anyway..." "Should be a pretty fun date night. Might even earn a kiss for my efforts to sweep you off of your feet, Chere p'tite." Gambit winks at her playfully, though he shrugs a little bit as he continues to deal the cards. When she drops some knowledge on him about the new order, Gambit looks at Rogue with a bit of a laugh toughing his face. "Hah! Dat Sounds like a good con joke. There's been a lotta card playin' folk throughout history, Chere. But...hm. I suppose? Thinkin' about it is gon' make my head hurt." Remy seems to frown a little bit at her little chide. "Told you I was gon' do better, Chere. Pretty sure Scott is about to put a tracker on me to make sure I'm not gon' be stealing people's wallets an' expensive-lookin' bikes." Remy shakes his head with a chuckle. "Nah, I didn't get anythin' to eat today. Too busy wheelin' an' dealin' with these cards. Most intense games of solitaire I ever did play." He hums though. "But if he made some meat loaf, long as it ain't mystery meat, should be ine. Might try an' see if it's as good as yu claim." His cards are easily taken by Rogue, likely because he's not trying to keep them from her. She's bridging and shuffling...she's not great at it. "Here, here..." Remy tries to extend his hands to touch hers so he can walk her through the motions. "The cards are fluid, yeah? It's not a new set, so you don't gotta worry about bendin' them funny. Follow the movement, use your thumbs to help you an' curl your fingers so he can glide the cards. It's like swimmin' if swimmin' was cooler." Rogue accepts his help as he tries to guide her gloved hands to control the cards. "It's good, its seasoned well an' everything." She says of the food in the kitchen. "I'll heat ya up some if you'd like." She adds before looking back down at the cards he's helping her with. She gets them to work for a moment before they all burst out of her hands and mushroom around them in to a big mess on the table. This gets Rogue to laugh openly again. "I'm ... whatever the equivelent of two left feet is, for hands... All thumbs? Is that the right one?" She asks as she looks back over at him with a smile. "I dunno..." She says then before looking back to the cards and sweeping her hands around on the table to pile them all up again and try to straighten them out once more. Honestly? Remy was just happy to be holding Rogues hands, even if it was just to help her figure out what the hell to do with these cards. He helps her move them and control the cards, getting them to work and bend to their will, before suddenly? The cards burst out like an explosion! Alas, Remy wasn't using his powers here, but it makes him laugh all the same. "You almost had it there, a little close, but stick wit' me, an' I'll make sure you're a master in no time." He looks Rogue in the eyes for a minute, deeply considers making the attempt to make a move, but he remembers he's sort of on thin ice right now...and so diverts his eyes from her for a moment. "Yeah, all thumbs. If it was your feet, den you would have a lead foot." He chuckles. "Which, I think you absolutely do. I reemmber you kickin' cars like soccer balls.' He teases her. Though he seems surprised. "You gon' heat some up for me? Hah, you do like me." He winks at her playfully, though as she starts to pick up all the cards again, Remy looks at her. "Now you know the movements. I know you strong, Chere, but these cards ain

the air, flinging water. The “cultists” dropped to their knees, and after a moment’s hesitation, so did Vaughn’s copy. “Great Xorgotthua!” Marla shouted, still standing, raising her arms overhead. “We come to welcome you!” The squid rolled, revealing an eye the size of a dinner plate for a moment before slipping back under the water. “Yes!” Marla shouted. “I understand, great one! We live to serve you!” The squid sank beneath the waves, and the cultists rose. “My people,” Marla said, her voice appropriately bleak. “Great Xorgotthua thanks us for the sacrifice, but says it is not yet time to rise. Xorgotthua wishes to wait until the ice caps have melted and the seas have risen to swallow the coastal lands. We are not to disturb its slumber until that time. We must keep the god’s sacraments and teach the next generation of followers.” She shook her head. “Our time will come. It only seems long, to our pitiful human minds. Another few centuries are but moments to great Xorgotthua.” Vaughn’s copy remained kneeling when the others rose. He looked up at Marla, stricken. “I can wait,” he said. “I have no choice. I will wait. That glimpse of the god will sustain me through the centuries.” Show ’em a few tentacles and they see a squamous god of the outer darkness, Marla though. “I have discovered something,” she said, placing a hand on the copy’s shoulder. “It seems Roger Vaughn did not die, as we all assumed. He is resting in a hospital, where all his needs are looked after. Would you like to meet him?” “He — I — he lives? When I woke, I thought he must have died, but…” The copy stood up. “Yes. I’d like to see him very much. I wish to know what happened to my life in the past hundred years.” “Perhaps you and the older Mr. Vaughn can await the return of Xorgotthua together,” Marla said. She nodded to Dr. Husch, who summoned her orderlies to lead Vaughn’s copy to the car. “They bicker like an old couple,” Rondeau said, watching Vaughn — both Vaughns — on Dr. Husch’s closed-circuit television. The two mad sorcerers shared a new, larger suite of rooms in the Blackwing Institute, and spent most of their time arguing over fine points of Xorgotthuan theology. They might have had the same mind, once, but you can’t put one soul in two bodies without a little divergence. “I’m just glad they’re locked up,” Marla said. Rondeau nodded. “It was nice of you to bring all this stuff,” he said. Marla had loaded a truck with blankets, drugs, and food, donations from the sorcerers of the city. Marla had told the other sorcerers that Dr. Husch was the one who saved the city from destruction by a great ocean-dwelling deity inimical to human life, and had encouraged them to show their appreciation with material goods. They had. No one liked to contemplate the coming of great indifferent gods, and Marla hadn’t bothered to tell the sorcerers that Xorgotthua was imaginary. “Where is Leda, anyway?” Marla said. “I thought she was coming back to the city with us.” “Yep. I’m taking her to see one of those homemade robot demolition derbies,” Rondeau said. “It’s going to be awesome. She said she had to take care of something before we go, though.” Marla rolled her eyes. She’d done her part to encourage Dr. Husch, but she doubted Rondeau would make it past one date with her. Rondeau went back to watching the screen, snorting laughter as the two Vaughns argued about whose turn it was to clean the toilet. Marla went looking for Dr. Husch, and found her in a room at the end of a short hallway, sitting beside a hospital bed. Marla stood in the doorway for a moment, then said “I don’t understand why you still tend him.” Dr. Husch adjusted Mr. Annemann’s catheter. He was hook

Marla stood in the doorway for a moment, then said “I don’t understand why you still tend him.” Dr. Husch adjusted Mr. Annemann’s catheter. He was hook

ed up to a number of machines, his head wrapped almost entirely in a thick padding of bandages. Marla cleared her throat. “I mean, when you consider…” “The fact that he created me?” Dr. Husch said. “You might expect me to be grateful for that.” Marla shifted uncomfortably. “But he created you to be his, well, his concubine, right?” “I was created as his living sexual fantasy,” she said, covering Mr. Annemann with a blanket. “Yes. And he used me as such. I was the most sophisticated of his many homonculi, the only one capable of independent thought. At first, I appreciated his attention. Even when he sold me to the highest bidder as a courtesan, and later, when he had me dance in a burlesque house and sold me more prosaically in the alley behind the club, I felt he deserved to treat me any way he wished. But as time passed, I began to resent him, and to wish for my own life. The worst part was, I still loved him. He could be very kind, you know, and he loved discovery and knowledge more than anything, something I respected very much. And then one day, I began to wonder if perhaps Mr. Annemann made me love him. What if loving him was not a choice, but merely a spell he’d cast on me?” She stroked Annemann’s hand. “That’s why you shot him?” Marla said. “Because you thought he’d cast a love spell on you?” The Felport archives had reports about the shooting, but not about the motives. Dr. Husch bowed her head. “Yes. I thought he must be a monster, to cast such a spell. I thought I would kill him, and free myself. He did not die, but his brain was… severely harmed. Any spell he cast on me would have failed, then, after the damage I inflicted.” She looked up. “But I didn’t stop loving him. I realized the love was not the result of a spell at all, but a true feeling. And so I have been caring for him ever since. Someday, he will wake, and I will tell him I’m sorry. Perhaps then he will realize I am more than his creation, and he will see me as a woman, and his equal.” Wishful thinking, Marla thought. “I’m not saying it was right to shoot him. But you probably never would have had your own life otherwise.” “No one’s life is solely their own,” Dr. Husch said. “We are all bound by our devotions. Mr. Vaughn would understand that. I’m sure you do, too.” Marla thought of her own tangled allegiances, the web of obligations that made protecting the city possible… but that was the point, wasn’t it? To protect Felport. She had devotions of her own, and couldn’t fault Dr. Husch for hers, however misguided they might be in Marla’s eyes. “Thanks for all your help, Leda.” “You can thank me by doubling my annual budget.” Marla laughed. “I’ll see what I can do.” Bride of Death Kickstarter The time has come!

Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office before issuing murder charges.

Have you ever had a day where everything goes wrong? That's what "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" is all about. Readers are probably familiar with the bestselling book, and now the book has been transformed into a Disney movie about 11-year-old boy named Alexander, played by Ed Oxenbould, who experiences the worst day ever. "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" opened as the top family film last weekend, and its cast and director hope families will be drawn to the comedy of family life. The day begins with gum stuck in Alexander's hair. At school, his science experiment catches fire. Then, there's a text from Alexander's friend with embarrassing photoshopped pictures that everyone finds out about. Meanwhile, Alexander's nemesis throws a party on the day that Alexander planned to host his own less-than-exciting birthday party. Sadly, Alexander's family is so caught up in their own busy lives, that they don't pay much attention to him. Alexander wonders if bad things only happen to him. However, Alexander gets the last laugh when his parents, played by Steve Carrell and Jennifer Garner, brother and sister, played by Dylan Minnette and Kerris Dorsey, end up having a bad day too. "Of course, the day they have is an extreme one," said the film's director, Miguel Artheta, in an interview with Upstate Parent. "But the idea of a family supporting each other is really great — especially when it's not in their personal interests to do so. The power of family is there for you when you least expect it." The movie is based on the 1973 classic children's book by Judith Viorst. With more than 2 million copies in print, it became an ALA Notable Children's Book and won a George G Stone Center Recognition of Merit, a Georgia Children's Book Award and distinction as a Reading Rainbow book. "The book has a wonderful following," Artheta said. "So many people grew up with it in the 70s, remember it fondly, and now, as parents, are reading it to their kids. It resonates

with people because it's OK to admit that sometimes things don't go your way." Garner, who plays Alexander's mom in the movie, agrees. "I love reading the book to my kids, because it teaches you that it's okay to have a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day," she said. The movie uses the original story in the book (Alexander's bad day) as the first act, and the second two acts present a new storyline, with the rest of the family (parents, baby, brother and sister) having a bad day. Without giving too much away, there are some really funny scenes with "Dad" taking the baby along on a job interview. Comic complications abound when Dad's arms catch fire in a Japanese restaurant, and he tangoes with a kangaroo and alligator. "As a dad, I can totally relate to this movie," Carrell said in a media interview. "Things go wrong but that's part of the charm of this movie. Everyone experiences those days. It's all about how you struggle through, keep your dignity and your sense of family, fun and the kind of love that is pervasive." Aretha treats the film's disasters with his signature style — infusing humor and enough heart to keep viewers interested in the character's off-road adventures. "There's something madcap, hectic and endearing about day two in the movie when everybody is having a terrible day at the same time," he said. "Every family can relate to that feeling of chaos." Aretha acknowledges that bad days are pretty much unavoidable. "I have a lot of bad days when everything goes wrong," he said. "The fridge door swings too fast, and knows over a much of glass bottles, making me late for my morning appointments. I seem to have a lot of those days. Maybe that makes me the right director for this film." "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" is now playing in theaters nationwide.

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. The International Energy Agency projected in 2014 that under its "high renewables" scenario, by 2050, solar photovoltaics and concentrated solar power would contribute about 16 and 11 percent, respectively, of the worldwide electricity consumption, and solar would be the world's largest source of electricity. Most solar installations would be in China and India. Types of Solar Power : A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell (PV), is a device that converts light into electric current using the photovoltaic effect. Conventional PV systems The array of a photovoltaic power system, or PV system, produces direct current (DC) power which fluctuates with the sunlight's intensity. For practical use this usually requires conversion to certain desired voltages or alternating current (AC), through the use of inverters. Multiple solar cells are connected inside modules. Modules are wired together to form arrays, then tied to an inverter, which produces power at the desired voltage, and for AC, the desired frequency/phase. Concentrated solar power (CSP), also called "concentrated solar thermal", uses lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Contrary to photovoltaics – which converts light directly into electricity – CSP uses the heat of the sun's radiation to generate electricity from conventional steam-driven turbines.

top priority is to bring the benefit of technology to more people,” TM Roh, the head of Samsung’s mobile communication business, said in a statement, calling the Galaxy S21 series “the most powerful and versatile flagship lineup ever.” On the other end of the spectrum, the S21 Ultra is designed for people who want the “best of the best.” It features a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, Samsung’s best camera of the S21 lineup with four back lenses, and Corning’s scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back. The S21 and S21 Plus have 6.2- and 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x displays, respectively, and Gorilla Glass Victus on the front. The S21 Plus also has the glass on the back, while the regular S21 features a plastic polycarbonate backing. Both have three camera lenses on the back. This year, Samsung has brought support for its S Pen, a hallmark of the Galaxy Note lineup, to its Galaxy S family for the first time. Of the three new phones, only the S21 Ultra works with the S Pen, and it comes as a separate accessory that costs $40 for just the pen or $70 when bundled with a specially designed case that stores the stylus. Users can’t stow the S Pen away inside the S21 Ultra like they can with Note, but they can use their old Note styluses with the S21 Ultra. The new accessory doesn’t work with gestures or many of the other features found in the Note’s S Pen, which likely means the Note line isn’t dead quite yet. Samsung will introduce an S Pen Pro later this year, though, that has some of the Bluetooth-enabled features found in the Note’s stylus, like gestures. Samsung didn’t give a price or release date for the S Pen Pro. The new phones come as Samsung faces a tougher market for 5G phones. When the Galaxy S20 lineup hit the market a year ago, there still were relatively few 5G phones available, and they weren’t cheap. Now competition is fierce. Prices for 5G phones go as low as $300 in the US, and virtually all companies sell 5G models. Every phone in Apple’s iPhone 12 lineup from late 2020 came with 5G by default, something that was expected to help the technology go mainstream. At the same time, the world continues to grapple with a pandemic that’s limiting budgets for new gadgets. Samsung made the decision to drop the starting price of its new phones by $200 because of a few factors. Components like 5G processors, displays and camera modules now cost less because Samsung has such a high volume of those parts in devices across its portfolio. The company also made some minor trade-offs in its S21 and S21 Plus devices, like lowering the base level of RAM to 8GB from 12GB. “For people who want the highest-end, Ultra experience, we still have that, and we’re not sacrificing [the features] primarily based on value level,” Drew Blackard, Samsung Electronics America’s vice chairman of product administration, stated in an interview forward of Unpacked. “For individuals who need worth and a tremendous flagship expertise on the similar time, we nonetheless have an important providing for them with the S21. After which we have got one thing form of in between for individuals who need somewhat little bit of each.” The existence of the Extremely is a reminder that not everybody feels the affect of the pandemic equally. “The folks which might be shopping for an S21 Extremely will not be feeling the stress of the pandemic,” Artistic Methods analyst Carolina Milanesi stated. Samsung “may have determined that possibly [its] entry product was going to be cheaper however depart the 2 flagships costlier.

amsung credit score and likewise get a free Galaxy SmartTag. As well as, carriers are providing promotions, like AT&T’s supply for as much as $800 off when buying and selling in an eligible gadget and buying the brand new cellphone on a 30-month installment plan. One of the biggest differentiators for the Galaxy S21 Ultra over the S21 and S21 Plus is the camera. The pricier device comes with four cameras on the back — ultra-wide, wide and dual tele-lenses — and an upgraded 108-megapixel sensor. That allows users to capture 12-bit HDR photos with 64 times richer color data and more than three times wider dynamic range. In other words, sharper, better photos. “When designing the Galaxy S21, we thought about how people use their cameras today,” Stephen Hawke, director of product management for Samsung Electronics America, said during a briefing with reporters ahead of Unpacked. “For instance, there are those fleeting moments when you just don’t have time to think about the perfect mode or setting to capture a shot, let alone switch to recording video. We need our phones to do all this for us. With a Galaxy S21, you get photos and videos with the simplicity of point and shoot.” When it comes to video, the Ultra enables users to shoot in 4K at 60fps across all lenses, including those on the front, meaning they can shift to different perspectives with the same quality. A new feature called Director’s View lets you see a scene from multiple perspectives simultaneously, while Vlogger View lets you shoot with the front and rear cameras at the same time. Pro Mode lets users capture images in a 12-bit raw file format to make it easier to edit the images later. The Galaxy S21 Ultra has four camera and laser autofocus on the back. The S20 Ultra features 100x Space Zoom, like its predecessor, but in this year’s phone is a new feature called Zoom Lock that keeps the camera focused on an object for a clearer picture. Samsung said it provides “tripod-like stability with an AI-powered stabilizer.” Space Zoom on the S21 Ultra is powered by Samsung’s first dual-tele-lens system, which is one optical 3X zoom for midrange and one optical 10x zoom for long-range. Both have dual pixel autofocus to capture ultra clear shots. Low-light photography also gets a boost in the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Samsung improved its Bright Night sensor and Night Mode to reduce noise and capture challenging shots like dimly lit rooms or landscapes at night. The Galaxy S21 and S21 Plus both have three rear cameras in ultra-wide, wide and tele-lens. They feature 30X Space Zoom with Zoom Lock, as well as Director’s View and Vlogger View. Portrait Mode gets a boost from AI, which provides options for virtual studio light and effects to make the subject pop from the frame — with both the rear cameras and the front-facing selfie lens. Samsung has improved its 8K Snap feature to let users grab clear images from 8K video footage, and its Super Steady Video records at an “improved” 60fps. The new Galaxy S21 phones also feature Multi-Mic Recording when paired with the new Galaxy Buds Pro, letting users record with their camera mic and earbuds mic at the same time. All phones in the Galaxy S21 lineup in the US come with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 888 processor and integrated 5G modem. The new Snapdragon chip is more effective at connecting to all flavors of 5G, from the slower, more reliable nationwide variant offered by all the US carriers, or the speedier but more finicky millimeter wave version touted by Verizon, and boasts peak download speeds of 7.5 Gbps and upload speeds of 3Gbps. The new processor with its integrated modem is “really important,” Technalysis Research analyst Bob O’Donnell said. By being able to combine different types of 5G airwaves together, there’s a “huge potential increase in performance in 5G,” he said. The Galaxy S

hew. They both drink Pimm's cups when the reception begins, which Lou assumes are non-alcoholic. Spoiler: they're not. This is going to be fun. Will engages in a series of interactions, some of which are stilted and awkward, some of which are surprisingly normal. He seems to be having a great time. Lou ends up talking to a woman named Mary Rawlinson, who helps people looking to take part in adult education. She gives Lou her card. Realizing that they're too drunk to drive home, Will tells Lou to book a nearby hotel room. Hubba hubba. Alicia and Rupert finally come by to say hello. It isn't the most charming interaction in the world, but it could have gone a lot worse. Lou asks Will to dance. She plops on his lap, and they whirl around the dance floor, having a great time and attracting many confused stares. At the end of the night, Lou persuades Will to go on a trip with her. A real trip. He agrees. Being toasted certainly makes the dude more amenable. This one is told from Nathan's perspective, folks. And boy, is Nathan annoyed at Lou for how she took care of Will at the wedding. Will drank a bunch, which is a really bad thing for him health-wise. Will puts on a strong front, but Nathan can tell that he's hurting. His blood pressure is "sky high" (19.25). Later, Will and Lou reveal their plan for a getaway vacation and invite Nathan along. Lou tells Patrick that she's not going to be able to go to the Xtreme Viking marathon, which disappoints him, but not as much as the revelation that it's because she'll be on the trip with Will. In an attempt to ease his mind, Lou tells Patrick about Will's plans to go to Dignitas, and she explains that she's trying to change his mind. It doesn't seem to help. After talking with her online friends, Lou's finally figured out a locale for the trip—the Four Wind Ranch in California. It's specially designed for quadriplegics, allowing them to engage in a bunch of fun activities they never would be able to otherwise. Lou tells Mrs. Traynor about the trip and gets her approval. Score. Instead of going back to Patrick's (er, we mean her) flat afterwards, however, she goes to her parents' house. Lou talks with Treena for a while and tells her that she wants to find a new career. And why? Because she can't be both Will's caregiver and romantic partner. Now that's a bombshell. Lou's not one-hundred-percent sure about her feelings, so she doesn't want to do anything rash. Lou arrives at Patrick's home later to a surprising sight—a romantic dinner. Patrick apologizes for being so distant and promises to be better once the marathon is over. Lou and Patrick have a rather lovely dinner. That is, until he sees her vacation plans. He demands that she cancel the trip. Lou's answer is as telling as it can get: "But he needs me" (20.219). This chapter is told from Mr. Traynor's perspective. Lou has moved into the Traynor house. Steven likes her a bunch, so it's all good to him. Steven describes going out for a drink with Della, his mistress. It seems like he was planning on leaving his wife before Will's accident turned everything upside-down. The chapter ends on a real bummer of a note: Will is struck by pneumonia. Lou rushes into the hospital. Will had seemed fine on Friday—how could he get so sick so quickly? Lou sits with Will until he wakes up in the middle of the afternoon. He's in rough shape. After a bit of idle conversation, Will finally says the thing Lou fears most—he's not going to be healthy enough to go on the trip. While canceling her reservations, Lou is interrupted by Nathan. She asks him if he knows about Will's plans for assisted suicide. Nathan does. While he obviously wants his friend to stay alive, as does Lou, he only wants him to hold on "if he wants to live" (22.122). That's an important distinction. Lou isn't giving up without a

fight, however. She thinks she can put together a different trip—one that Will's doctors will approve. Ten days later, Lou, Nathan, and Will are at the airport. This girl can really work some magic. Lou got help from Ritchie, one of the dudes in her online quadriplegia community. Who says that you can't find true friendship on the internet? Our friends going to Mauritius, a small tropical island off the coast of Madagascar. Yes—an island off the coast of an island. The three make it to the island without a hitch. Will still isn't feeling too well, but they're all in one piece. By the third day, however, Will's looking a lot better. All three of our friends are having an amazing time—Lou even starts wondering if she's "actually in paradise" (23.42). Will seems to have attained "a peace that had been missing" from his life for a long time (23.47). And Will isn't the only one having a great time, either. On the fourth day of the trip, Nathan meets a lovely lady from New Zealand named Karen. You go, boy. On the second-to-last night of the trip, Lou tells Nathan that he can have Karen stay over in his hotel room for the night—which means that Lou and Will will be sharing a room. Well, if they must. Lou and Will lie in bed while a storm rages outside. Will falls asleep as they cuddle, but Lou is so swirling with thoughts about the future that it takes her forever. On the last day, Will and Nathan convince Lou to go scuba diving. She doesn't want to at first—as usual—but she ends up having an amazing time. Again—as usual. That night, Lou gets a bit tipsy while she and Will share some alone time on the beach. She's in such a good mood that she dances as if no one was watching. And then it finally happens—Lou kisses Will. It's electric. Will stops Lou. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he knows he can't give her the life he wants to give her. Kissing her reminds him of that. Lou reveals that she knows about Will's plan. She tries to convince him that his life is worth living and even tells him that she loves him, but he's resolute—he's going through with it. The conversation doesn't end well, to say the least. Lou pretty much ignores Will for the rest of the trip. Likewise on the flight home. Once they arrive, Lou immediately bails on the family and heads to the bus stop. Mrs. Traynor follows her. Lou tells her that Will is going to go through with his plan. Mrs. Traynor nearly passes out. Katrina is Treena, by the way. And she's the one donning the narrative cap this time around. Treena reports that Lou stayed in her room "for a whole thirty-six hours" after returning home from her trip (25.1). Not a good sign. Treena finally enters Lou's cave of despair and gets the story. Treena reveals that Lou got a letter from the college while she was away, which she went ahead and opened. Lou has an interview tomorrow. Lou doesn't want to go, but Treena convinces her. That's a good sister. That night, Lou reveals that she passed the interview. She still seems hesitant to go to school, however, especially now that she doesn't have any income coming in. Lou also decides to tell her parents everything about the Will situation. Her dad is sad but sympathetic, while her mom is horrified and angry. Mr. Clark notes that the Traynor family hasn't been home for the last couple days. Oh, no. With a shock, Lou realizes that tomorrow is the big day. The next day, Lou wonders whether she should have gone with Will. As she does so, the doorbell rings. It's a reporter from the Globe, and she wants to know about Will's plan. Someone must have spilled the beans. But who? The phone rings off the hook all day with calls from reporters. One call, however, is from a very different source—Camilla Traynor. Will is still alive, and Mrs. Traynor has booked Lou a flight out to Switzerland

Ray Bryant, Jazz Pianist, Dies at 79 - NYTimes.com Cover of Alone at MontreuxRay Bryant, Jazz Pianist, Dies at 79 - NYTimes.com By NATE CHINEN Ray Bryant, a jazz pianist whose sensitivity and easy authority made him a busy accompanist and a successful solo artist, beginning in the mid-1950s, died on Thursday. He was 79. His wife of 20 years, Claude Bryant, said he died at New York Hospital Queens after a long illness. He lived in Jackson Heights, Queens. Mr. Bryant had a firm touch and an unshakable sense of time, notably in his left hand, which he often used to build a bedrock vamp. Even in a bebop setting, he favored the ringing tonalities of the gospel church. And he was sumptuously at home with the blues, as a style and a sensibility but never as an affectation. All of this contributed to his accomplishment as a solo pianist. His first solo piano album was “Alone With the Blues,” in 1958, and he went on to make a handful of others, including “Alone at Montreux,” “Solo Flight” and “Montreux ’77.” His most recent release, “In the Back Room,” was yet another solo album, recorded live at Rutgers University and released on the Evening Star label in 2008. Raphael Homer Bryant was born on Dec. 24, 1931, in Philadelphia, and made his name in that city during its considerable postwar jazz boom. Along with his brother, Tommy, a bassist, he played in the house band at the Blue Note Club in Philadelphia, which had a steady flow of major talent dropping in from New York. (Charlie Parker and Miles Davis were among the musicians they played with there.) In short order Mr. Bryant had plenty of prominent sideman work, both with and without his brother. One early measure of his ascent was the album “Meet Betty Carter and Ray Bryant,” released on Columbia in 1955. It was a splashy introduction for him as well as for Ms. Carter, the imposingly gifted jazz singer. It was soon followed by “The Ray Bryant Trio” (Prestige), an accomplished album that introduced Mr. Bryant’s composition “Blues Changes,” with its distinctive chord progression. That song would become a staple of the jazz literature, if less of a proven standard than “Cubano Chant,” the sprightly Afro-Cuban fanfare that Mr. Bryant recorded under his own name

minutes long because that is the restriction for all YouTube videos, although I covered quite a bit of ground in such a short clip. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, although I was surprised that I was able to pull it off in only one take. You can watch the video from YouTube above. What follows is simply a transcript of the video, with only a few slight emendations. A History of Western Astrology In 10 Minutes This is a history of western astrology in 10 minutes. Since this is a history of western astrology it won’t cover the Chinese or Mesoamerican traditions, which are for the most part separate. The Origins of Astrology In Mesopotamia and Egypt Western astrology has its roots primarily in Mesopotamia, which is roughly located in what is now modern day Iraq. Originally astrology was developed as another form of divination, in addition to other forms of divination, in order to determine the future, and in order to determine what the intentions of the gods were, since the planets were seen as the literal, physical manifestations of the gods. The Mesopotamians developed the fundamental astrological premise that there is a correlation between celestial moments and earthly events – that when something happens in the sky there is a similar correlation that happens on earth. This is the fundamental astrological premise that permeates all later western traditions of astrology. As their tradition went on, the Mesopotamians eventually developed the zodiac and the concept of natal astrology, where the life of an individual can be determined, or events and the nature and course of their life can be determined, based on the position of the planets at the moment that they were born. Both the zodiac and natal astrology appear to be fully formed by the 5th century BCE. While this was occurring in Mesopotamia, over in Egypt the Egyptians had been developing what is known as the decans, which are 10 degree segments of the ecliptic. Each of the decans are associated with certain fixed stars, and are thought to have certain astrological meanings. The Advent of Hellenistic Astrology By the 1st century BCE the Mesopotamian and Egyptian traditions of astrology were synthesized together. This synthesis likely took place in Alexandria, Egypt during the Hellenistic period, and this created a new form of astrology called horoscopic astrology. This was also the beginning of a tradition called Hellenistic astrology, which is a tradition of horoscopic astrology. While Hellenistic astrology was the first tradition of horoscopic astrology, there were several later traditions of horoscopic astrology because horoscopic astrology is essentially any form of astrology that utilizes the ascendant, and other things derived from the ascendant such as the houses. At this point concepts such as the houses, aspects, time-lords, etc. were all introduced as a part of a fully formed system, and this was essentially the birth of the full technical apparatus of western astrology. Transmission of Astrology to India At this point, and thereafter, Hellenistic astrology spread out all over the world. For example, in the 2nd century Hellenistic astrology was transmitted to India, through a text known as the Yavanajataka that was written in Egypt and then was transported to the western coast of India on a Greek trading ship, where it was subsequently translated into Sanskrit. This was the birth of all subsequent traditions of horoscopic astrology in India, which is still practiced there today, nearly 2,000 years later. The Influence of Claudius Ptolemy on the History of Astrology Also in the 2nd century, Claudius Ptolemy wrote his four book work on astrology known as the Tetrabiblos (‘The Four Books’). In this four book series he re-conceptualized astrology as a causal science. Ptolemy wanted to put astrology on a more solid footing with the sciences of his day, so he tried to argue that astrology worked through some sort of literal, celestial influences that were coming down from the sky. This was a departure from the previous Hellenistic and

In this four book series he re-conceptualized astrology as a causal science. Ptolemy wanted to put astrology on a more solid footing with the sciences of his day, so he tried to argue that astrology worked through some sort of literal, celestial influences that were coming down from the sky. This was a departure from the previous Hellenistic and

Mesopotamian traditions that saw astrology more within the context of divination, or at least more within the context of celestial events coinciding with earthly events, but not necessarily causing them to happen in a literal sense. After this point there was always this sort of disconnect or debate in the astrological tradition over whether astrology was a causal science, that worked through direct causes and effects from celestial objects, or whether it was based off some other principle of correlation but not necessarily causation. At this time Ptolemy also established the tropical zodiac as the primary reference system, using the vernal exquinox as the first degree of Aries, and later western astrologers followed Ptolemy in adopting the topical zodiac. The Transmission of Horoscopic Astrology to the Persians and Arabs At some point in the 3rd century works on Hellenistic astrology were transmitted to the Persians through translations of Greek texts into Pahlavi, the Middle Persian language. A few centuries later, as Europe declined into the Middle Ages, the growing Islamic empire started acquiring texts on astrology and translating them into Arabic. So, while Europe is going into a decline as far as astrology and learning and other things are concerned, there was this great renaissance or florishing of astrology in the Islamic empire. At this time the Arabian and Persian astrologers perfected the practice of certain forms of astrology, such as mundane and horary astrology. The Transmission of Astrology Back to Europe In the 12th century astrology was transmitted back to Europe through Latin translations of Arabic astrological texts. The Crusades had this interesting side effect of causing a bunch of European scholars to go down to Spain when it was reconquered from some Muslim rulers in order to translate texts on astrology from the vast libraries that were housed there. In this way astrology went from Mesopotamia to Hellenistic Egypt to Medieval Persia and Arabia, and then was transmitted back to Europe through these translations of texts. Astrology started flourishing in Europe again at this point, and by the 15th century it had started to reach a sort of peak. Astrology became widely practiced in Europe again, thanks in part to the invention of the printing press which allowed for many of these Latin translations of Arabic texts to be printed and widely distributed. The Decline of Astrology in the 18th and 19th Centuries By the 17th century the practice of astrology was in decline again in Europe, with the latest hotbed of activity being in England with people like William Lilly. After that point, in the 18th and 19th centuries, astrology survived in popularized form mainly through the publication of almanacs, but there weren’t a lot of practicing astrologers in Europe during this time. The Modern Revival of Astrology The modern revival of astrology began in the late 19th and early 20th century, largely due to the advent of Spiritualism and the Theopsophical Society. Many of the major astrologers in the early 20th century were Theosophists, such as Alan Leo, Sepharial, Marc Edmund Jones, and Dane Rudhyar. Alan Leo had a large part in this early revival of astrology, although a large part of his efforts were directed towards simplifying the practice of astrology so that it was easier to learn, while at the same time shifting the emphasis of astrology more towards character analysis. His famous motto was “character is destiny”. These efforts were carried on by later astrologers such as Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar, who advocated more of a psychological approach to astrology, and tried to put astrology more in the domain of psychology, by using the birth chart of an individual in order to interpret things about their psyche. Carl Jung and the Theory of Synchronicity In the 1930’s the psychologist Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity, and he developed the theory of synchronicity in order to explain how events can be connected simply by occurring at the same moment in time, outside of any sort of causal framework. The principle of synchron

The son of a tailor, Prospero Petrosino, he emigrated to the United States at the age of 12. The family lived in subsidised accommodation in Mulberry Street, part of the area now known as Little Italy on the Lower East Side towards Brooklyn Bridge, where around half a million Italian immigrants lived in the second half of the 19th century. Giuseppe took any job he could to help the family, at first as a newspaper boy and then shining shoes outside the police headquarters on Mulberry Street, where he would dream of becoming a police officer himself. In 1878, by then fluent in English and known to everyone as Joe, Petrosino became an American citizen but it took him five years and repeated applications to realise his dream of joining the police. At 5ft 3ins he was technically too short to meet the criteria for an officer but after the police began to use him as an informant it was decided he could be of use in the fight against Italian organised crime. He was the first Italian-speaking officer in the history of the New York Police Department. His career progressed partly because of his friendship with Theodore Roosevelt, the future president, who was then a police commissioner in New York. Noting his success in solving crimes involving Italians, Roosevelt promoted him to detective sergeant in the Homicide Division, after which Petrosino was hand-picked to lead a newly-formed Italian Squad, comprising Italian-American detectives. Enrico Caruso, victim of a blackmail attempt foiled by Petrosino The Italian Squad was set up specifically to fight against the rise of criminal organisations such as the Mafia and it appealed to Petrosino, who saw the Mafia as bringing shame to decent Italian-Americans. By the time of his appointment to the new division, in 1908, the Italian immigrant population of Manhattan and Brooklyn had grown to more than a million, living mainly in Little Italy, East Harlem and Williamsburg. Petrosino achieved notable successes in hampering Mafia activities, often working undercover. Famously, he tracked down and arrested mobsters attached to the so-called Black Hand who were attempting to blackmail the Italian tenor, Enrico Caruso, while he was performing at the Metropolitan Opera House.

In 1907 he married Adelina Saulino, the daughter of the owner

of a restaurant he frequented, with whom he rented an apartment in Lafayette Street, just one block away from his childhood home in Mulberry Street. They had a daughter in 1908. The marriage was shortlived, although for tragic reasons. Despatched on a secret mission to Sicily in 1909, armed with a list of New York criminals with links to the island, Petrosino was to gather evidence aimed at facilitating the deportation under new legislation of Italians with criminal convictions in their own country. However, soon after Petrosino had set sail, Theodore A Bingham, who had succeeded Roosevelt as police commissioner, gave an interview to the New York Herald in which he discussed the officer's mission, which as a result was no longer so secret. Petrosino's ship docked in Genoa, after which he stopped off in Milan, Bologna and Rome before paying a visit to his brother, Vincenzo, in Padula, en route to Sicily. Petrosino's hearse paraded through New York Soon after he arrived in Palermo, Petrosino received a message from somebody claiming to have information that would be helpful to him and arranged to meet them in the city's Piazza della Marina. It was a trap. While waiting for his supposed informant, Petrosino was hit by three bullets from the gun of a Mafia assassin and died on the spot. A funeral took place in Palermo, after which Petrosino's body was returned to New York and another ceremony took place at St Patrick's Cathedral in Mott Street, which runs parallel with Mulberry Street in Little Italy, after which a procession of 200,000 people followed the coffin to the Calvary Cemetery in Queens. No one was convicted of Petrosino's killing, although Vito Cascio Ferro, one of his targets for arrest, was detained, only to be released when an associate came forward with an alibi. More than a century later, a descendant under investigation by the Italian police confessed that it was known within the family that Vito Cascio Ferro had ordered his murder. Padula, which is situated just outside the beautiful Cilento National Park in Campania, is a small community of just over 5,200 people about 100km south of Salerno, notable for the Padula Charterhouse - Certosa di Padula in Italian - the largest monastery in Italy with a physical area of some 51,500 square metres (12.7 acres) and 320 rooms. One of the entrances to the Certosa di Padula The majestic Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park extends from the Tyrhennian coast to the feet of the Campania-Lucania Apennines. It includes coastal and mountain areas which play host to an abundance of wild life but there is also a rich cultural history, notably the Greek ruins at Velia and Paestum. Libero Grassi - the Palermo businessman who refused to pay his pizzo Carlo Gambino - was the notorious Mafia Don the model for Puzo's Godfather?

It was a classic Mafia hit to which there were no witnesses, at least none prepared to come forward. Such killings were not uncommon in the Sicilian capital as rival clans fought for control of different neighbourhoods. Yet this one was different in that 67-year-old Grassi had no connection with the criminal underworld apart from his brave decision to stand up to their demands for protection money and refuse to pay. Grassi owned a factory making underwear, which he sold in his own shop. He employed 100 workers and his business had a healthy turnover.

It’s the morning of February 21, it is the first day of the Cap Go Meh (正月 半 Jang Ngiet Ban in Hakka), it should just be a day of prayer, no performances today. But already at 6 am at the main temple of the city, a van arrives. A father, his son, and a group of musicians, who play always the same rhythm with gongs and drums, to maintain the trance state of the Tatung. We quickly realize that there is great movement around. It doesn’t seem to be just private prayers, as they told us, it all looks very organized. After a few hours of visiting temples, we arrive in a countryside sanctuary filled with Tatung. There’s a guy with 4 or 5 piercings in his face. We are unwittingly in the middle of a protest. The Indonesian government is anxious to make this tradition into a carnival for tourists. In town, they are setting up the stands for the paying audience and the platform for the VIPs and the rulers of Singkawang, which are strangely Muslims (while the wide majority of the citizens are Chinese). Our contact tells us that last year the Tatung, already possessed, sitting on the swords and with piercings stuck in their faces, had to wait until the end of the Mayor’s speech and various politicians jabber for two hours. When the parade finally began it started to rain, the audience was gone and the Tatung were now no longer possessed, out of the state of trance. This is particularly dangerous because coming out of the possession the Tatung begin to feel the pain and when piercings are extracted blood spills. There are only 4 or 5 policemen on the streets, in a state of bewilderment and concern. The ceremony was supposed to be tomorrow, and no one expected this demonstration, which in summary means “this is our tradition, it is a religious ceremony and politics needs to stay out.” Around midday also the Dayak, the natives of Borneo, come to the temple. This shouldn’t be their festival, their Gods do not inhabit the Taoist temples. But the relationship between Chinese and Dayak is so strong here that they decided to celebrate together. The Dayak come to pray in the Taoist temple as a sign of respect and some of them are Tatung. We are told that under President Suharto, the Indonesian dictator from 1967 to 1998, Dayak and Chinese were mass killed by the government who tricked them both blaming the Dayak for the Chinese killings and the Chinese for the massacre of Dayak. Dividi et impera. This generated a war between the two groups, and many died. When they realized that it was the work of the dictatorship, they promised each other eternal mutual protection, renewing an alliance more than a century old. A few years ago the Muslim administration wanted to eliminate a dragon statue, very dear to the Chinese. The Dayak came from the forest armed with machetes. The statue is still in place. In the square in front of the temple, we see a lot of people, we approach, a Dayak has just beheaded a puppy dog. They are eating it along with another Dayak, raw as it is. He does it right in front of the police, going towards them with madness in his eyes, the police back down, they look terrified. The government banned the dogs eating practice, and this is a clear protest against the constant interference of the Indonesian Muslim majority. What do you think about these stories?

AdventureTravel Journal Essential Gear for Bicycle Touring and Bikepacking Hoedt Reveals Permanent Transfer Option At Antwerp. Wednesday, 8th Jan 2020 11:28 Wesley Hoedt has spoken of his frustrations at St Mary's and that the club he is currently on loan with Royal Antwerp have an option to buy. Wesley Hoedt may have not been the most popular player with some Saints fans, but even they would agree that he was not given a chance under Wesley Hoedt and that at times we could have done with trying him out.

He has now spoken in Belgium to Het Nieuwsblad about his treatment by Ralph Hasenhuttl and where his future lies going forward. Speaking about his time at Saints Hoedt said: “Well, a lot of things happened there. That trainer sent me away. I went to Celta Vigo for six months. When I returned, I was so fit that I was at the top of all the lists in the tests,” “He came to tell me that he was impressed and that I deserved a second chance. But then I responded: What do you mean, second chance? I have never had a first chance with you. I never played under him for a minute." “Now, I have shown myself in preparation for eight weeks – very well trained and played – but in the end it was again: ‘We don’t need you, you can go’." “Anyway, I am still under contract, so I am not going to start a mud fight. The Southampton chapter is as good as closed to me. That trainer is still there. Even after they were knocked 9-0 by Leicester, he was allowed to stay, so yes…” When Antwerp took the player on loan at the start of the season, they inserted an option to make his transfer permanent for €8m, significantly less than Saints paid for the defender, perhaps suggesting that at least under Hasenhuttl there was no way back. The Belgian newspaper asked Hoedt if he will continue at Antwerp beyond this season. “I do not know. Antwerp did try hard to get me. I am very grateful for that and I try to pay it back in the field. But we’ll see in about four months. It is now too early to make statements about this. Perform first. " “I am only here for a year, but that is definitely a goal: to leave Antwerp with a European ticket.” “We all know what my conditions are … Well, I read it with you, I don’t bring it out (grins), but for Antwerp it’s about serious amounts. Since European football is very attractive financially, it can therefore help to keep me. I am also having a good time here, as I have stated on several occasions." “But at the same time, it’s my ambition to return to a better league. That seems logical and not a strange statement. I also think I belong at that level.” "Probably not at Southampton, though." So we have heard Wesley Hoedt's version and there is probably a little more than meets the eye here, from the low transfer fee we are asking it seems that we want to get his salary off the books, but he is not alone in that with the likes of Carrillo, Lemina, Forster & Elyounoussi all on big salaries and all out on loan. The message from him is clear though, he is on big money here, far more than he would usually get from Antwerp, if they are to buy him then they need to qualify for Europe otherwise he will be back to St Mary's in the summer and he and indeed Saints will be back to square one. Personally I rated Hoedt as a player, yes he had his faults, but I would rather have had him in our central defence this season than most of those who have played there. He has the potential to reach high standards, he has not done that consistently yet and Saints could well in the future rue letting him go, but it seems there will be no way back at St Mary's under the current manager. DorsetIan added 11:41 - Jan 8 We've had a lot of players recently with the 'potential' to reach high standards. We'd have won the Champions League by now in terms of potential! Ripleys_revenge added 12:18 - Jan 8 Every time this guy makes statements in the media he comes across as a bit of a pr!ck. Regardless of how good he may or may not 'potentially' be, I can't imagine he's the best influence within the squad. Get rid at any opportunity. I'd take 8 quid for him stmichael added 12:38 - Jan 8 Arrogant as fook... No wonder Ralph told him to do one!! Big_T added 12:50 - Jan 8 Always works out well, sniping at the new boss "you haven't given me a first chance". Perhaps the first chance was expecting him to be fit

they never seem to have no issues with what we were doing. At the end of the day, they did what they did and we did what we did. I guess cos it was a Friday night kind of competition, cos we were 9-12am, he was either 10-1am or 11-2am or something like that. So it was an issue for him because the listeners are clashing, so I guess someone’s got to loose an hour, or someone’s got to put in a tape and listen afterward, cos you know what I mean, someone has to loose an hour, it was just crazy! I mean I loved every minute of it, I loved every single minute of it. Other than that I had a great time, a great time doing all of that. Kwaku: Break down the whole era here. I mean, you guys were running the night at the Borderline. Big Ted: Yeah we had the Flavor Of The Month, that was the hottest Hip hop spot, the 3rd Monday of every month and you know, I remember you calling me up countless times to get on the guest list. Kwaku: Ha ha, yeah that’s right! Big Ted: On a Monday like four O’clock in the afternoon, “Yo Ted, what you saying? Can I get on the guest list?” I remember, it was on my old Mercury one2one number. Kwaku: Ha ha yeah that’s true. But going back I mean from my memory from the whole era there was no other place for us to go, and for everyone to be in one building and to listen to the music that we love, there was just no other place. I know Westwood was doing his thing, but he was more about bringing over Americans as opposed to creating a platform for people from here to see UK talent. Big Ted: Yeah and his set was much more just about him and playing the records. There was very few PA’s from London or groups from London on his stages, unless there was an American towering above them. But 279 had Blak Twang who had done his first performance at Flavor Of The Month and I even did a performance and like so many people, you know the Lords Of Rap came down to do their thing, Force and KZ came down and did their thing, you know there’s so many different artists. Gangstarr, you know Guru used to come through to be apart of that and Main Source when Large P or Extra P was in town he was just chilling I mean, Janet Jackson came to the Flavor of the Month, you know this is serious. This its real talk you know all these things went down. All these things went down at this spot! We had the legendary open mic session and you know it was just great. Cut Master Swift on the ones and twos, 279 on the wheels of steel, Baby K was the name of the guy that used to co-host the show with 279 and it was a Legendary Club, you know if you find me on facebook, Teddy Ted, I got like a few photo’s of some of the things that went down. You know you can see Dominant G posing of in a couple of pictures you know its for real its for real that club there, even Westwood used to come down and stand at the back, seeing what’s going down seeing what we were playing or what ever just catching a vibe. Kwaku: That’s true. Big Ted: Yeah countless times, countless times. So as much as there was a vibe or beef or whatever, at that point there Westwood was able to come in the club and there would be no trouble, then things couldn’t have really had been as serious as previously thought, but things do change, things do get serious and sometimes the fun goes down. Kwaku: So round that up, how did it come to a close for you in terms of Choice, was there any beef between you and 279? Big Ted: The best scenario I can give, is if you have two brothers sharing a bedroom there’s the older brother then the younger brother, now the younger brother is subject to the rules of the older brother. If the older brother says come out the room, cos I got some girls coming over, the little brother has to come out and go and find something to do downstairs go to the kitchen or go next door and go and find something to do next door, But at a certain point the younger brother reaches a age where he wants to start bringing girls back to the room so he’s not going to tell his older brother what

to do, he’s got to go and find his own room. So he’s got to go and do what he wants to do, and that’s basically kind of how it happened, I reached a point where you know I felt like I know what I am doing now, but this is not my space. I can’t run this space, this isn’t my space. Any way Shortie Blitz was at the record shop and prior I had spoken to Max and Dave cos Pogo was leaving, so they needed a mix DJ, but was looking at someone else. So there’s no denying he was and still is a very hot DJ, so I put his name in the air and after a few endorsements Max and Dave were a little bit under pressure so Shortie was on Kiss and when I left Choice me and Shortie started to work together a bit more and just in out doing different clubs and I’d come and hang out at Kiss just a little bit, just to see what was going on to keep myself in the loop. And it just transpired that there was a clean out, up and a take over up at Kiss and because of me and Shortie’s association, the door was kind of left open for us to take over from where Max and Dave left off, so that’s how I made the move from Choice over to Kiss FM. I mean in closing, at Choice… it was just time really. Kwaku: I mean that’s one of the best analogies I’ve ever herd in terms of like breaking it down in so far as moving on and doing other things I must say its a very good example. Big Ted: Well thank you man, I mean I will say it was emotional you know, I mean there were other things to it but, you know basically its a case of I want to do things that express how I feel and its not 279’s job to defend or to read what I’m doing if he doesn’t agree, so if I don’t want to do what he’s doing any more than I need to find some where, where I can do it. So in general sense that’s what it was about, I reached the point where I just couldn’t do it any more. Kwaku: So moving onto Kiss FM, take us through the years man. I mean you were on there for a minute. Big Ted: I was on Kiss FM for 10 years. Kwaku: So take us through that. What was it like when you linked up with the team, what was it like? Big Ted: Well me and Shortie were cool so it wasn’t backward in a sense of we didn’t need time to learn about each other, we were totally cool and we were Hip Hop heads and being given a forum and a opportunity to just do what we wanted to do, and play anything we wanted to play in a way that was Hip Hop. You know we could just talk it, act Hip Hop, we could be Hip Hop. We could just play the music, plus we were both nice on the turntables. We had total Hip Hop chemistry it was just a lot of fun. But obviously you have to learn the rules which was slightly different because we were both front men, whereas at Choice, I was just a co-host. Unless 279 went away, I was the one covering the show. But I wasn’t totally 100 percent there, because it was never my show. With this one now, it was down to us for the direction for the content, you know for the whole theme, everything, it was all down to us. So we had to take this a bit more seriously rather than just turning up with records and just knock out two hours of music we had to have a bit of a plan. And that’s kind of what we did, and I feel like we dealt with it. Kwaku: What were the best memories, in so far as some of the artists you had on the show? Big Ted: Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, Jam Master Jay! When Jam Master Jay came up there and we rapped Sucker MC’s with him, you know that was pretty incredible, cos they came over to open this new Foot Locker store over at Bond St., and they rapped on the roof of the Foot Locker store. No one saw that, cos no one else was allowed on the roof, but you know, Run DMC were in there, and Jam Master Jay came by our show later in the week and it was just an incredible experience. The thing was, I was so nervous and Shortie was so nervous, this is Jam

Tel: +44 (0)1908 210210 ← Kirby’s dilemma No joke → When the rabbit’s foot deserts you This is harsh. There’s a real chance that Gus Malzahn, who enters the season on the hot seat, doesn’t make it out of September with his job. That’s because there’s a real chance that the Tigers, who open the season with four home games, start 0-4 on the year against Clemson, Arkansas State, Texas A&M, and LSU. Yes, Arkansas State, a team that is exponentially better than the Jacksonville State team that almost beat Auburn on the Plains last year. What issues appear solved heading into the season? The defense, outside of Carl Lawson, isn’t noticeably improved, and the quarterback situation is anything but settled — they’ll either roll with Sean White again or go with John Franklin III instead of Jeremy Johnson. Franklin, a junior college transfer, left Florida State because he wasn’t deemed good enough to be the fourth-string QB. They also have only one running back with collegiate experience and lost their two leading receivers from 2015. The makings of a bounce back do not appear to be in place — there’s a real chance Auburn finishes in last place in the SEC West again in 2016. Dayum. Even I’m not that down on Auburn’s chances this season — although I reserve the right to change my mind if Lawson goes down again. Filed under Auburn's Cast of Thousands 78 responses to “When the rabbit’s foot deserts you” You must realize that many of us are enjoying the anticipation of Auburn sucking. I can only hope the season plays out as gloomy for them as some think it will. I hope my ill will toward them doesn’t bite me in the karma. It’s not ill will. It’s Karma having it’s way with ’em.1986 baby! 86? How about ’05, ’10 and ’13? Yeah! Those too! But this one stands out, some of my classmates were there. I heard after they beat Bama there were shirts at Auburn that said “The strong we hose. The weak we beat.” That was the first Auburn game I’d missed in a while. I think it was the next time we went down there that the game shirts for that game said “Nothing Stinks Like a Wet Dog”. I really wish I had gotten one when I was in town–that was pretty funny. “Those who spray must pay” T-shirt the following year before the Auburn game. I believe we lost (perhaps not surprisingly). I love that video. Hated that game. There is a lot of talent wandering around on the Plains. I’m not sure Gus knows how to use it though. He was an offensive genius with Cam Newton and Nick Marshall, but he seems to be struggling to put a serviceable unit on the field now. Auburn losing to Arkansas State? I like the sound of that. I’d certainly love it, BUT I am not holding my breath. Arkansas State is not capable of beating Auburn this year. I suppose it’s conceivable that they could start 1-3, but I don’t know that I anticipate A&M going into Jordan-Hare and getting that win, either. Home field is big, and Auburn’s got it in these games. I think they’ll be fine. The dumpster fire continues. Even the laughing three-legged East Alabama jackrabbit is in flames. Burn, baby, burn. Auburn did pretty well with cornerback at QB, so FSU’s fourth string cast off will probably do okay. I think they split September and November. The difference between

example, in the transmission of music over cable television or satellite television networks, various content is typically displayed in conjunction with a broadcast music channel. In other applications, such as local display of advertising content on an in store display, or various other local broadcasts some content may remain stationary, resulting in screen burn-in. This content may include various components, such as, but not limited to, an image of the album cover, artist information, music trivia, channel title, various logos, advertising material, and various other content. Some of the content may remain relatively stationary on the screen with risk of causing burn-in. The methods developed thus far are each problematic or unusable in this application. For example, screen savers are not usable since they typically make the content temporarily unavailable or unreadable. The method utilized in U.S. Pat. No. 4,677,430 discussed above is not feasible for this application because it is undesirable and impractical to modify the synchronizing signal in order to cause shifting of the screen. The method of U.S. Patent Application Publication Number US2001/0035874 allows for textual information to be moved on the screen by inserting a blank space or moving a blank space in each character line by utilizing the character generator chip to provide blanked out portions. This method is not feasible for non-textual content that is displayed as an image in an area of the screen. What is needed is a system and method for reducing screen burn-in of a user's display which is useful in applications where various content including but not limited to images, text, or graphics is displayed. The invention provides a method and system for reducing uneven burn-in of a display during usage. A plurality of assets that may include text, graphics, and video are stored and then gathered. These assets are then assembled based on a template to form a video frame or “screen”, which is subsequently output to a display. Based upon a trigger, the assets are gathered again and reassembled in a second template to form a second video frame or “screen” wherein the assets are in positions on the screen, which are different from those of the first screen. The second screen is subsequently output to the display. FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a screen for display according to the present invention.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a second exemplary system for generating screens according to the present invention. The method for displaying content while reducing burn-in on a display will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1–3. Referring first to FIG. 1, an exemplary screen 1 is shown containing various information and other content. Each of the items of content will hereinafter be referred to as assets. These assets may include but are not limited to textual information, motion picture video, graphics, control features such as buttons or pull down menus, promotional materials, or other control mechanisms. Referring first to FIG. 1, a plurality of assets is displayed on the screen 1. Those reasonably skilled in the art will appreciate that while certain assets will be described in these embodiments, other types of assets may be substituted. FIG. 1 shows a screen 1 which is displayed coincident with the transmission of a broadcast music channel. The screen 1 contains various assets including a logo 10, a song add button 12, a download button 14, a personalized channel choice button 16, a channel name 18, album art 20, title track label and artist information 22, promotional/advertising panels 24, 28 and a buy button 26. The logo and the album art assets 10, 20 contain graphical content while the channel name and title track label and artist assets 18, 22 contain primarily textual content but may also contain graphical content.

These assets may include but are not limited to textual information, motion picture video, graphics, control features such as buttons or pull down menus, promotional materials, or other control mechanisms. Referring first to FIG. 1, a plurality of assets is displayed on the screen 1. Those reasonably skilled in the art will appreciate that while certain assets will be described in these embodiments, other types of assets may be substituted. FIG. 1 shows a screen 1 which is displayed coincident with the transmission of a broadcast music channel. The screen 1 contains various assets including a logo 10, a song add button 12, a download button 14, a personalized channel choice button 16, a channel name 18, album art 20, title track label and artist information 22, promotional/advertising panels 24, 28 and a buy button 26. The logo and the album art assets 10, 20 contain graphical content while the channel name and title track label and artist assets 18, 22 contain primarily textual content but may also contain graphical content. The promotion/advertising panels 24, 28 may contain a combination of graphic and textual content and may alternatively contain motion picture video content. The assets described thus far namely 10, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 28 are primarily for the purpose of conveying information to

the viewer either graphically, textually, or through video. The remaining assets namely the song add button 12, the download button 14, the personalized choice button 16, or the buy button 26 may each contain graphical and/or textual content for the purpose of allowing the user to make a selection or transfer control of the system to another sub-screen for various purposes. For example, these control buttons may be utilized to create a personalized music channel, to indicate music preferences of the user, to download a selected song, or to buy a selected album or track. It should be noted that each of the assets 12, 14, 16, 26 are arranged on the screen 1 in a given orientation and at a selected location, which is shown here as being bound by a border. It should be understood that in all cases the border is simply indicative of the location of the particular asset on the screen but that the border is not necessarily visible to the viewer. In order to reduce screen burn-in, each of the assets may be shuffled around the screen 1 to create alternate orientations. For example, in FIG. 2, screen 2 is shown in which some of the assets are located in different positions from those shown in screen 1. For example, each of the assets has been relocated on the screen 2 except for the promotional/advertising panel 24, 28 that remains in the same location. If, for example, the content within the promotional/advertising panel 24, 28 changes over time, the need to move this asset around the screen in order to prevent burn-in is reduced. Therefore, in situations where content of an asset is changing within its location on a particular screen, the need to move the asset around the screen is either reduced or eliminated. Such changing may be in the form of changing graphics or video content. FIG. 3 shows yet another screen in which all of the assets have been moved to alternate locations. The assets are moved to specified locations to prevent any stationary asset from remaining in one location on the screen for an extended period of time. The assets may be moved according to a specified movement arrangement, for example, from the arrangement of screen 1 to the arrangement of screen 2 then to the arrangement of screen 3 and subsequently to other arrangements thereafter returning to the arrangement of screen 1. The movement could alternatively be conducted according to a suitable random algorithm, which ensures that the resultant locations of each asset are such that there is no overlap of assets. A time interval may be set for switching between screens 1, 2, and 3, or the change from screen to screen may be triggered by an event. For example, in an embodiment for transmitting a broadcast music channel, screen arrangements may change from screen 1 to screen 2 to screen 3 and other subsequent screens at the beginning of each new song being broadcast. Additionally, as mentioned above, it should be understood that assets may be selectively moved relative to each other or certain assets may remain fixed on the screen while others move. Those fixed assets are preferably ones in which the graphics, text, or video image within the asset changes at some interval. Those assets which are primarily textual or graphical and remain the same, for example the logo 10, should be moved to alternate locations from screen to screen in order to reduce screen burn-in in any one location. An alternate embodiment of the method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Instead of shuffling the assets as described above from screen 1 to screen 2 to screen 3 and so on, each asset may be incrementally moved along one or two axes on the screen as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 1. For example, the logo 10 may be moved a given number of pixels along the y-axis a distance Δy and may also be moved a number of pixels along the x-axis a distance Δx. It should be understood that while the logo 10 is shown as being moved in two axes it may alternatively be moved in a single axis x or y. The movement in a single axis is best shown in the promotion/advertising panel 24, 28 which has been shifted along the x axis a small amount to the left in FIG. 1. The buy button 26 is also shown by way of example as being shifted a very small amount namely a few pixels in each of the x and y axes. It should be understood that while only three assets 10, 26, 24, 28 are shown here as being shifted or moved, each and every asset on

Power to Curran with Listed success at Aintree 05-December-2020 19:57 Highworth trainer Sean Curran tasted Listed race success at Aintree this afternoon when Talking About You had plenty in hand to win the Juvenile Fillies Hurdle over Alan King's contender. This was Sean's 7th winner of the term, and he's racked up over £100,000 in prize money from some smart placing. In recent years, this dual purpose yard has been more focused on the Flat, but to be fair, last season's 18 runners generated more than £70,000 in prize money with just 3 winners, and today's Liverpool success more than overtakes that. Sean's been training since 2006, when he started whilst still riding. He numbers Lee Power, owner of Swindon Town and former weekly publication Racing Plus, among his owners. With a hundred winners under his belt as a rider, he should know how to train a few. His career certainly started explosively enough, winning the Scottish Grand National in 2008 with French-bred Iris de Balme. Lee Power is an interesting character too. Whilst he was born in London, his Irish ancestry enabled him to be capped for Ireland as an U-21. His playing career began at Norwich, but he has played for a great many clubs in his 163 appearances. He took control of Swindon Town in 2013. Earlier this week, months of legal wrangling appeared to be resolved, allowing Power to sell the club to a consortium which includes the Supporters Trust.

006 with a broad bi-partisan margin of 322-99. Senator David Vitter (R-La) introduced the Senate version of the bill, which passed the United States Senate by 84-16, the largest margin of victory for a NRA-backed measure. "The essence of the 'Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act' was so compelling that it received strong bipartisan support in Congress," continued Cox. "When 911 is non-existent and law enforcement personnel are busy with search and rescue missions and other duties, law abiding Americans want to defend their families and loved ones in times of emergency. Your NRA helped guarantee their freedom to do just that." "On behalf of all NRA members nationwide, I want to thank Rep. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) and Sen.

USMC - Retired, Oct 3, 2006 GAGunOwner, Oct 3, 2006 Gunstar1 Administrator Georgia could not get this feel good legislation passed. Though to be honest, if the law is passed in GA and god forbid a disaster strikes in GA, anybody trying to take guns are themselves breaking the law and are no better than looters. Gunstar1, Oct 3, 2006 Georgia's was much more than a feel good effort. Here is last year's effort, for those who might want to watch this year. https://www.georgiapacking.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=462 Louisiana passed one. Florida passed one unanimously - that means not even one anti-gun Democrat or Republican voted against it. This sort of bill is a slam dunk if we can get people to apply pressure. The only people testifying at the committee hearings last year were law enforcement officers who said "This just doesn't make sense." The federal law, while a step in the right direction, does not, I think solve the problem. It cuts off funds. Yeah, like they are going to cut off funds in the middle of another Katrina . . . Georgia's proposed bill made it felony. Then the committee downgraded it to a misdemeanor, then downgraded it to a civil penalty, before killing the bill altogether. How about this year? Malum Prohibitum, Oct 4, 2006 kkennett New Member I would think this would be our year. We could essentially shame the legislature into passing the bill based on these others and the national bill. "You don't want to be weaker than the pansy fed law do you?" Can we find a sponsor for the bill? kkennett, Oct 4, 2006 johnpeace Guest Why do we need a new law to make it a crime to break existing law? It's already against the law for police to take my legally posessed firearm away from me, unless I am committing a crime. Do we really need another law to reiterate that? Thank God all these congressmen waste their time on silly stuff like this instead of *really* changing things. We'd be in trouble if they actually got anything done! johnpeace, Oct 4, 2006 johnpeace said: I am not sure that is so. If it was, I would be satisfied. Really, how are you going to show, in the middle of a disaster area, that the firearm you carry is really yours, legal and owned prior to the declaration of emergency or disaster or thereafter acquired in compliance with all applicable laws of Georgia and the United States?

Review These Tips from McIntire Professor Chris Maurer The Federal Reporter, Том 155 George S. Jones and Smith, Hammond & Smith, for plaintiff. Robert L. Berner and Walter J. Grace, for defendant. SPEER, District Judge. The findings of the court upon the issues presented by the pleadings and proof are as follows: The Stewart-Taylor Company upon proper involuntary proceedings had been adjudged bankrupt. E. P. Johnston, the complainant above mentioned, had been elected its trustee, and was thereupon authorized by the court to institute a suitable proceeding in equity against the Forsyth Mercantile Company to recover certain assets of the bankrupt, which it was prima facie made to appear had been collusively and fraudulently conveyed for the benefit of the defendant company and to the injury of creditors. This had been accomplished by a certain sale and transfer by the bankrupt of the entire stock of merchandise. The ground of this proceeding was that the transfer was made by the bankrupt to the defendant with the intent to hinder, delay, and defraud the creditors of the bankrupt, in violation of the bankruptcy act. A demurrer was interposed to the proceeding brought by the trustee, and after full hearing it was overruled. Answers were thereupon filed by the Forsyth Mercantile Company and the bankrupt. The cause, being then at issue, was referred to Alexander Proudfit, Esq., referee in bankruptcy, as special master, “to proceed with the hearing of the testimony, and to report to the court his findings of law and fact thereon.” No objection was made to the reference, and it was ratified by the action of the parties. It was, however, not intended by the court to commit the final determination of the cause to the master, and, his report coming in, exceptions thereto were filed. The full case has been heard by the court upon the pleadings, the proofs, the master's report, and the exceptions. * From the entire record the court has reached its conclusion. It appears, as found by the master, that the Stewart-Taylor Company on June 21, 1903, the date of the beginning of the transaction complained of, was insolvent. Its indebtedness approximated $10,034. Its assets consisted of its stock of goods, which at market cost on that date appeared by inventory to be worth $5,034.52, besides a few notes and accounts of insignificant amount. It further appears that A. M. Taylor, one of the bankrupt concern, through the president and the secretary and treasurer of the defendant company, consummated the transfer complained of. This was done at night behind closed doors, and under circumstances which must have put the defendant on notice that it was done out of the ordinary course of business. We find, therefore, that the Forsyth Mercantile Company was not a purchaser in good faith of the property. It was bound by the action of its officers, and participated in the transaction to defraud the creditors of the bankrupt. It appears from the evidence that it was fully aware of the insolvent condition of the Stewart-Taylor Company. It is further shown that the sale was made in a quick and unusual manner, with the evident disposition to consummate it before its interruption by legal proceedings could be accomplished. This was all done only two days before the proceedings in bankruptcy were filed. We further find that the amount paid by the defendant company for the property was 70 per cent of the invoice cost of the dry goods and notions, 75 per cent. of the invoice cost of the shoes, and 50 per cent. of such cost of the millinery. This aggregated $3,444.10. In addition to this, there was a shipment of shoes at the depot, not yet taken out, which passed under the transfer, making a total of values of $3,584.05. This appears to be a fair valuation of the goods and merchandise thus conveyed by the bank

It appears from the evidence that it was fully aware of the insolvent condition of the Stewart-Taylor Company. It is further shown that the sale was made in a quick and unusual manner, with the evident disposition to consummate it before its interruption by legal proceedings could be accomplished. This was all done only two days before the proceedings in bankruptcy were filed. We further find that the amount paid by the defendant company for the property was 70 per cent of the invoice cost of the dry goods and notions, 75 per cent. of the invoice cost of the shoes, and 50 per cent. of such cost of the millinery. This aggregated $3,444.10. In addition to this, there was a shipment of shoes at the depot, not yet taken out, which passed under the transfer, making a total of values of $3,584.05. This appears to be a fair valuation of the goods and merchandise thus conveyed by the bank

rupt to the defendant company. We find that the bulk sale, thus secretively and injuriously conducted, and evidenced by bill of sale executed on the very date of the bankruptcy proceedings, was intended to delay, hinder, and defraud the creditors. . With the proceeds of this sale in part, the bankrupt proceeded to settle the claims of certain banks against it, and the master recommends that the Forsyth Mercantile Company, which was the purchaser fraudulently, as we have seen, should be subrogated to the claims of such banks against the bankrupt itself. Upon this subject it will suffice to say that the banks are not parties to this litigation, there are no suitable averments or prayers, and no decree at this time can be made to affect this issue. Upon a general review of the record it appears, therefore, that the bill of sale of such assets, set forth in the pleadings, should be delivered up and canceled, and the delivery of the goods and merchandise therein made should be decreed to be null and void, and that the complainant, viz., E. P. Johnston, trustee, is entitled to recover the value of the assets of the bankrupt, which were thus unlawfully transferred to the Forsyth Mercantile Company. It is further found that E. P. Johnston, as trustee in bankruptcy of the estate of Stewart-Taylor Company, bankrupt, should be decreed to be vested with the title of said property as trustee, and the same, so far as any of it may now be held by the Forsyth Mercantile Company, should be adjudged and decreed as held in trust for said E. P. Johnston as trustee, and for the purpose of his duties as such trustee, as regards the creditors who may be entitled to distribution thereof. We further find that decree should be taken directing the Forsyth Mercantile Company to account to E. P. Johnston as such trustee for all goods and merchandise purchased by it from the Stewart-Taylor Company under said fraudulent bill of sale and under the transaction which has been described; and, further, that, if the said Forsyth Mercantile Company shall be unable to return such goods and merchandise so fraudulently conveyed and transferred, Johnston as trustee shall recover of the Forsyth Mercantile Company the sum of $3,584.05, as a fair valuation thereof. Complainant is further entitled to a decree to the effect that the costs and expenses of this cause in equity shall be taxed by the clerk of the court against the defendant; and, further, that the compensation of Alexander Proudfit, Esq., for his services as special master shall be fixed at the sum of dollars, to be paid as part of the costs and expenses herein.

operations function’.) Operations managers are the people who have particular responsibility for managing some, or all, of the resources which comprise the operations function. Again, in some organizations the operations manager could be called by some other name. For example, he or she might be called the ‘fleet manager’ in a distribution company, the ‘administrative manager’ in a hospital or the ‘store manager’ in a supermarket. Operations in the organization The operations function is central to the organization because it produces the goods and services which are its reason for existing, but it is neither the only nor necessarily the most important function. It is, however, one of the three core functions of any organization. These are: the marketing (including sales) function – which is responsible for communicating the organization’s products and services to its markets in order to generate customer requests for service; the product/service development function – which is responsible for creating new and modified products and services in order to generate future customer requests for service; the operations function – which is responsible for fulfilling customer requests for service throughout the production and delivery of products and services. Chapter 1 Operations management Support functions The functions that facilitate the working of the core functions, for example, accounting and finance, human resources, etc. In addition, there are the support functions which enable the core functions to operate effectively. These include, for example: Broad definition of operations All the activities necessary for the fulfilment of customer requests. the accounting and finance function – which provides the information to help economic decision making and manages the financial resources of the organization; the human resources function – which recruits and develops the organization’s staff as well as looking after their welfare. Remember that different organizations will call their various functions by different names and will have a different set of support functions. Almost all organizations, however, will have the three core functions because all organizations have a fundamental need to sell their services, satisfy their customers and create the means to satisfy customers in the future. Table 1.1 shows the activities of the three core functions for a sample of operations. In practice, there is not always a clear division between the three core functions or between core and support functions. In fact, many of the interesting problems in management (and the opportunities for improvement) lie at the overlapping boundaries between functions. This leads to some confusion over where the boundaries of the operations function should be drawn. In this book we use a relatively broad definition of operations. We treat much of the product/service development, engineering/technical and information systems activities and some of the human resource, marketing, and accounting and finance activities as coming within the sphere of operations management. Most significantly, we treat the core operations function as comprising all the activities necessary for the fulfilment of customer requests. This includes sourcing products and services from suppliers and transporting products and services to customers. Working effectively with the other parts of the organization is one of the most important responsibilities of operations management. It is a fundamental of modern management that functional boundaries should not hinder efficient internal processes. Figure 1.1 illustrates some of the relationships between operations and some other functions in terms of the flow of information between them. Although it is not comprehensive, it gives an idea of the nature of each relationship. However, note that the support functions have a different relationship with operations than the other core functions. Operations management’s responsibility to support functions is primarily to make sure that they understand operations’ needs and help them to satisfy these needs. The relationship with the other two core functions is more equal – less of ‘this is what we want’ and more ‘this is what we can do currently – how do we reconcile this with broader business needs?’ Table 1.1 The activities of core functions in some organizations Core functional activities Internet service provider (ISP) Fast food chain International aid charity Furniture manufacturer Promote services to users and get registrations Sell advertising space Advertise on TV Devise promotional materials Develop funding contracts Mail out appeals for donations Advertise in magazines Determine pricing policy Sell to stores Product/service development Devise new services and commission new information content Design hamburgers, pizzas, etc. Design decor for restaurants Develop new appeals campaigns Design new assistance programmes Design new furniture Coordinate with fashionable colours Maintain hardware, software and content Implement new links and services Make burgers, pizzas etc. Serve customers Clear away Maintain equipment Give service to the beneficiaries of the charity Make components Assemble furniture The broad scope of operations management’s responsibilities

However, in practice, managing operations in a small or medium-size organization has its own set of problems. Large companies may have the resources to dedicate individuals to specialized tasks but smaller companies often cannot, so people may have to do different jobs as the need arises. Such an informal structure can allow the company to respond quickly as opportunities or problems present themselves. But decision making can also become confused as individuals’ roles overlap. Small companies may have exactly the same operations management issues as large ones but they can be more difficult to separate from the mass of other issues in the organization. However, small operations can also have significant advantages; the short case on Acme Whistles illustrates this. Operations management in not-for-profit organizations Terms such as competitive advantage, markets and business, which are used in this book, are usually associated with companies in the for-profit sector. Yet operations management is also relevant to organizations whose purpose is not primarily to earn profits. Managing the oper- Acme Whistles can trace its history back to 1870 when Joseph Hudson decided he had the answer to the London Metropolitan Police’s request for something to replace the wooden rattles that were used to sound the alarm. So the world’s first police whistle was born. Soon Acme grew to be the premier supplier of whistles for police forces around the world. ‘In many ways,’ says Simon Topman, owner and Managing Director of the company, ‘the company is very much the same as it was in Joseph’s day. The machinery is more modern, of course, and we have a wider variety of products, but many of our products are similar to their predecessors. For example, football referees seem to prefer the traditional snail-shaped whistle. So, although we have dramatically improved the performance of the product, our customers want it to look the same. We have also maintained the same manufacturing tradition from those early days. The original owner insisted on personally blowing every single whistle before it left the factory. We still do the same, not by personally blowing them, but by using an airline, so the same tradition of quality has endured’. The company’s range of whistles has expanded to include sports whistles (it provides the whistles for the soccer world cup), distress whistles, (silent) dog whistles, novelty whistles, instrumental whistles (used by all of the world’s top orchestras) and many more types. ‘We are always trying to improve our products,’ says Simon, ‘it’s a business of constant innovation. Sometimes I think that after 130 years surely there is nothing more to do, but we always find some new feature to incorporate. Of course, managing the operations in a small company is very different to working in a large one. Everyone has much broader jobs; we cannot afford the overheads of having specialist people in specialized roles. But this relative informality has a lot of advantages. It means that we can maintain our philosophy of quality amongst everybody in the company, and it means that we can react very quickly when the market demands it.’ Nor is the company’s small size any barrier to its ability to innovate. ‘On the contrary,’ says Simon, ‘there is Operations decisions are the same in commercial and not-for-profit organizations Source: Simon Topman/Acme Whistles Short case Acme Whistles something about the culture of the company that is extremely important in fostering innovation. Because we are small we all know each other and we all want to contribute something to the company. It is not uncommon for employees to figure out new ideas for different types of whistle. If an idea looks promising, we will put a small and informal team together to look at it further. It is not unusual for people who have been with

One can introduce randomness in the hopping integral of conduction electrons.

Eq. (\ref{DMFT_Action}) with Eq. (\ref{Local_Green_Functions}) serves a completely self-consistent framework for this problem. Derivation of Eq. (\ref{DMFT_Action}) from Eq. (\ref{DALM}) is shown in appendix B. This effective model has two well known limits, corresponding to the disordered Heisenberg model \cite{Sachdev_SG} and the disordered Anderson lattice model without RKKY interactions \cite{Kondo_Disorder}, respectively. In the former case a spin liquid state emerges due to strong quantum fluctuations while a local Fermi liquid phase appears at low temperatures in the latter case as long as the $T_{K}$ distribution is not so broadened enough. In this respect it is natural to consider a quantum phase transition driven by the ratio between variances for the RKKY and hybridization couplings. \section{Phase diagram} \subsection{Slave boson representation and mean field approximation} We solve the effective DMFT action based on the U(1) slave boson representation \begin{eqnarray} d^{a}_{\sigma} &=& \hat{b}^{\dagger a} f^{a}_{\sigma} , \label{SB_Electron} \\ S_{\sigma\sigma'}^{a} &=& f^{a\dagger}_{\sigma} f_{\sigma'}^{a} - q_{0}^{a} \delta_{\sigma \sigma'} \label{SB_Spin} \end{eqnarray} with the single occupancy constraint $|b^{a}|^2 + \sum_{\sigma} f^{a}_{\sigma}(\tau) f^{a}_{\sigma}(\tau) = 1$, where $q_{0}^{a} = \sum_{\sigma}f^{a\dagger}_{\sigma} f_{\sigma}^{a}/M $. In the mean field approximation we replace the holon operator $\hat{b}^{a}$ with its expectation value $\langle \hat{b}^{a} \rangle \equiv b^{a}$. Then, the effective action Eq. (\ref{DMFT_Action}) becomes \begin{widetext} \begin{eqnarray} && \bar{S}_{n}^{\rm eff} = \int_{0}^{\beta} d\tau \Bigl\{ \sum_{\sigma a} c^{\dagger a}_{\sigma}(\tau) (\partial_{\

However, the game was criticized for its short length and lack of replay value. No, the game Army of Thieves does not have zombies. Army of Thieves is a third-person shooter video game developed by People Can Fly and published by Microsoft Studios. The game was released as a digital download on Xbox Live Arcade on February 22, 2011. The player controls a character who must battle through waves of enemies in order to reach the game’s boss. The game features both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Army of Thieves is set in the near future where a global pandemic has turned much of the world’s population into zombies. A group of survivors must battle their way through hordes of zombies in order to escape their ravaged city. The game’s plot follows a group of criminals who are contracted by a mystery client to break into a museum and steal a valuable artifact. The client is revealed to be a vampire, and the artifact is a coffin containing the body of his long-lost love. The vampire plans to use the coffin to resurrect his love, but needs the blood of virgins to do so. The criminals are used as bait to lure virgins into the museum so that the vampire can feed on them. The player’s goal is to prevent the vampire from resurrecting his love and escape the museum alive. If they succeed,

they are rewarded with a large sum of money. The game features multiple endings, depending on the choices made by the player during the course of the game. No, there are no zombies in Army of Thieves. How Much Do Army Soldiers Make? Does the Salvation Army Take Books? How Many Seasons of Army Wives Are There? What Time is the Army Navy Game?

See the vision for The Railyards. Central Shops Bringing Community to The Railyards The Central Shops consist of eight historic buildings from the original Central Pacific Railroad Yard, constructed between 1868 and 1917. The Central Shops District was one of the largest industrial sites in the country in the early 20th century and played a fundamental role in the history of California and the development of the economy. These eight historic buildings from the original Central Pacific Railroad Yard are being adaptively reused as the centerpiece for the Central Shops District. The Central Shops District will be home to a vibrant mix of uses. This 500,000+ SF retail district will feature eateries, entertainment, art galleries, distinctive retail shops, and an expansion to the State Railroad Museum oriented around a central plaza. The Central Shops buildings have been designated as a historic district; they are being rehabilitated and developed pursuant to historic preservation guidelines to ensure their original beauty, style, and materials are carefully preserved for future generations.

RQ1 summary.} Numerous causes of flakiness have been identified in literature, with factors related to concurrency, test order dependency, network availability and randomness are the most common causes for flaky test behaviour. Other factors related to specific types of systems such as \textit{algorithmic nondeterminism} and \textit{unsynchronised seeds} impacting testing in ML applications. There is also a casual relationship between some of these factors (i.e., they impact each other - for example, UI flakiness is mostly due to concurrency issues). \end{qoutebox} \begin{figure*}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=0.9\linewidth]{media/causes.png} \caption{Relationships between the different causes of flaky tests} \label{fig:ontologycause} \end{figure*} \subsection{Flaky Tests Detection (RQ2)} \label{sec:results:detection} One of the dimensions we studied is how flaky tests are identified and/or detected. In this section, we present methods used to detect and identify or locate causes of flakiness. We make a distinction between these three goals in our listing of techniques found in the reviewed literature. We look at methods identified in both academic and grey literature. RQ2 is divided into two sub-questions, we answer each subquestion separately, as shown below: \subsubsection{Methods Used to Detect Flaky Tests (RQ2.1)} There are two distinctive approaches towards the detection of flaky tests, which are either by using dynamic techniques that involve the execution of tests or using static techniques that rely only on analysing the test code without actually executing tests. Figure~\ref{fig:taxonomydetection} depicts a broad overview of these strategies. Dynamic methods are based mostly on multiple test runs whilst also using techniques to perturb specific variability factors (e.g. environment, test execution order, event schedules or random seeds) that quickly manifests flakiness. There is one study on using program repair \citeS{S28} to induce test flakiness and two studies on using differential coverage to detect flakiness without resorting to reruns \citeS{S2}. Under static approaches, studies have employed machine learning (3 studies), model checking for implementation dependent tests and similarity patterns techniques for identifying flaky tests. There are only two studies that leverage hybrid approaches (one for order dependent tests and another for async-wait). \\ \noindent\textbf{Static methods}: Static approaches that do not execute tests are mostly classification-based that use machine learning techniques \citeS{S607,S118,S31}. Other static methods use pattern matching \citeS{S357} and association rule learning \citeS{SB1}. Model checking using Java PathFinder \cite{visser2003model} has also been used for detecting flakiness due to implementation dependent tests \citeS{SB28}.\\ Ahmad et al. \citeS{S607} evaluated a number of machine learning methods for predicting flaky tests. They used projects from the iDFlakies dataset \citeS{S4}. There is also a suggestion that the evaluation also covered another language (Python) besides the data from the original dataset (which is in Java), though this is not made clear, and the set of Python programs or tests is not listed. The study built on the work of Pinto et al. \citeS{S11}, which is an evaluation of five machine learning classifiers (Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine and Nearest Neighbour) that predict flaky tests. In comparison to \citeS{S11}, the study of Ahmad et al. \cite{S607} answers two additional research questions: how classifiers perform with regard to another programming language, and the predictive power of the classifiers. Another static technique based on patterns in code have been used to predict flakiness \citeS{S357}.\\ \noindent\textbf{Dynamic methods:} Dynamic techniques to detect flakiness are built on executions of tests (single or multiple runs). Those techniques are centred around making reruns less expensive by accelerating ways to manifest flakiness, i.e., fewer number of reruns or rerunning fewer tests. Methods to manifest flakiness include varying causal factors such as random number seeds \citeS{S14}, event order \citeS{

Those techniques are centred around making reruns less expensive by accelerating ways to manifest flakiness, i.e., fewer number of reruns or rerunning fewer tests. Methods to manifest flakiness include varying causal factors such as random number seeds \citeS{S14}, event order \citeS{

S93}, environment (e.g. browser, display) \citeS{S99}, and test ordering \citeS{S147, S4}. Test code has also been varied using program repair \citeS{S28} to induce flakiness. Fewer tests are run by selecting them based on differential code coverage or those with state dependencies. \\ \noindent\textbf{Hybrid methods:} Dynamic and static techniques are known to make different trade-offs between desirable attributes such as recall, precision and scalability \cite{ernst2003static}. As in other applications of program analysis, hybrid techniques have been proposed to combine the strength of different techniques, whilst avoiding their weaknesses. One of the tools, FLAST \citeS{S118}, proposes a hybrid approach where the tool uses a static technique but suggests that dynamic analysis can be used to detect cases missed by the tool. Malm et al. \citeS{S72} proposed a hybrid analysis approach to detect delays used in tests that cause flakiness. Zhang et al. \citeS{S591} proposed a tool for dependent test detection, and they use static analysis to determine side-effect free methods, whose field accesses are ignored when determining inter-test dependence in the dynamic analysis. Some tools, stated earlier under static methods (e.g., \citeS{S607}), may need access to historic execution data for analysis or training. \begin{figure*}[htp] \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{media/detection.png} \caption{Taxonomy of detection methods} \label{fig:taxonomydetection} \end{figure*} \subsubsection{Tools to Detect Flaky Tests (RQ2.2)} Table~\ref{tab:detection} lists the tools that detect test flakiness, which are described in the literature. Most of the tools detect flakiness manifested in test outcomes. The majority of the tools found in academic articles work on Java programs, with only three for Python and a single tool for JavaScript. These tools can be grouped by the source of flakiness they target: UI, test order, concurrency and platform dependency (implementation dependency to a particular runtime). Some of these tools identify the cause of flakiness as well (which may already be a part of the tool's output if the source of flakiness they detect is closely associated with a cause: e.g., test execution order dependency arising from a shared state can be detected by executing tests under different orders).\\ \begin{landscape} \begin{table*}[!b] \caption{Flaky tests detection tools as reported in academic studies} \centering \label{tab:detection} \resizebox{0.8\linewidth}{!}{ \begin{tabular}{lllllll} \toprule \textbf{Detection type} & \textbf{Category} & \textbf{Language} & \textbf{Method type} & \textbf{Method} & \textbf{Tool name} & \textbf{Article} \\ \midrule Outcomes & Order & Java & Dynamic & Rerun (Vary orders) & - & \citeS{S1014} \\ Outcomes & Android & Java & Dynamic & Rerun (Vary event schedules) & FlakeScanner & \citeS{S1008} \\ Outcomes & General & Java & Dynamic & Rerun (twice) & - & \citeS{S1011} \\ Cause & Web & Java & Dynamic & Rerun (Vary environment) & FlakyLoc & \citeS{S99} \\ Location & General & - & Dynamic & Log analysis & RootFinder & \citeS{S6} \\ Outcomes & UI & Java & Dynamic & Rerun (Vary event schedules) & FlakeShovel & \citeS{S16} \\ Outcomes & General & Java & Hybrid & Machine learning & FlakeFlagger & \citeS{S1027} \\ Outcome & General & Mixed & Dynamic & Rerun (Environment) & - & \citeS{S27} \\ Outcomes & General & Java & Static & Machine learning & - & \citeS{S607} \\ Outcomes & ML & Python & Dynamic & Rerun (Vary random number seeds) & FLASH & \citeS

You’ve probably seen the photos: In one, a half dozen powerful white men flank the President while he signs the global gag order that prevents international organizations from receiving US aid funds if they so much as mention the word “abortion;” in the other, the President and Vice President are surrounded by powerful white men from the congressional Freedom Caucus to talk about removing requirements for insurance coverage for maternity care. Nary a woman is in sight for either photo . . . or for the discussions about women’s health at the center of these photo ops. On the other hand, every day the news, Facebook, and Twitter bombard us with stories about the next law, policy, or executive order issued by the Trump administration that targets women, people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants, and the poor. Taken together, those photos and these policies highlight an intentional and concerted effort to enhance the fortunes of the already privileged and further marginalize those outside this “mythical norm”—white, male, heterosexual, able-bodied, native-born, young to middle aged, and Christian. And the further from the norm, the greater the marginalization. This marginalization, however, is not simply additive, but rather social categories of gender, race, class, and other forms of difference interact with and shape one another within interconnected systems of oppression. These systems of oppression—sexism, racism, colonialism, classism, ableism, nativism, and ageism—work within social institutions such as education, work, religion, and the family (what Black feminist theorist Patricia Hill Collins calls “the matrix of domination”) to structure our experiences and relationships in such a way that we participate in reproducing dominance and subordination without even realizing it. These systems teach us how to see the world, how to evaluate each other, and how to treat one another based on our differences.

These systems of oppression—sexism, racism, colonialism, classism, ableism, nativism, and ageism—work within social institutions such as education, work, religion, and the family (what Black feminist theorist Patricia Hill Collins calls “the matrix of domination”) to structure our experiences and relationships in such a way that we participate in reproducing dominance and subordination without even realizing it. These systems teach us how to see the world, how to evaluate each other, and how to treat one another based on our differences.

In a larger sense, these systems shape society in ways that reinforce the dominance of men over women, whites over people of color, heterosexuals over LGBTQ people, and so on. Even more complicating are the intersections of difference that create, for example, different experiences of sexism for white women than for women of color or different experiences of racism for Black women than for Black men. Law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw calls this phenomenon “intersectionality.” Crenshaw explains intersectionality through this story from the courts. In DeGraffenreid v General Motors, a group of Black women sued the company alleging discrimination against Black women in the company’s seniority system. The court found against the women. Because General Motors could show that it had hired women (white women), the plaintiffs could not show that the company had discriminated on the basis of gender. The court recommended the women join another case alleging racial discrimination, but the plaintiffs refused because this recommendation overlooked that their claim alleged both race and sex discrimination. The court, nonetheless, refused to acknowledge Black women as a special class. Intersectionality recognizes how power works across multiple forms of difference and acknowledges that oppressive powers cannot be isolated or examined separately from one other. Rather, intersectionality pays attention to the ways social differences give shape to one another and demands that remedies to discrimination and oppression also attend to these intersections. Religion as a social institution is not exempt from the effects of intersectionality. As a part of the matrix of domination, religion plays a role in maintaining hierarchies of power. Christianity specifically has been a key player in reproducing systems of oppression throughout history through its support for the domination of women, imperialism, capitalism, slavery, segregation, and anti-LGBTQ legislation. In recent years, Christians have misused scripture and theology to maintain social inequality, and, most recently, many Christians have supported the anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-people of color, anti-LGBTQ, anti-poor rantings and policies of the Trump administration. Even among progressive Christians, often the tendency has been to develop theologies of liberation focused on one’s own oppression without accounting for one’s privilege and attending to the intersections of difference at work, even in liberatory theologies. The time has come for progressive Christianity to center intersectionality in its biblical interpretations, theologies, and church practices. We cannot develop feminist theologies without attending to race, sexual identity, social class, ability, gender identity, and age. We cannot develop queer theologies that do not account for race and class, for age and ability. We cannot develop racial/ethnic theologies that do not attend to gender and sexual identity. When we create a singular identity as normative for any liberatory theology, we marginalize the intersections of diverse people within a group, who experience oppressions in varying ways because of the intersections. We propose an Intersectional Theology, a theology that begins in the intersections and moves toward liberation and justice for all people inclusive of all their differences. We propose an intersectional hermeneutic that begins with examinations of the biblical text’s imperial history and highlights the intersectional lives of biblical characters—Jesus, a Jewish man of the working class living under a colonial power; Paul, a character full of challenges and contradictions as a Jewish man and Christian convert with Roman citizenship; the Samaritan woman, the hemorrhaging woman, the Canaanite women, the Ethiopian eunuch, Peter and Cornelius. We propose an Intersectional Theology that leaves no one out, that leaves no one’s experience unconsidered in exploring and expanding our ideas of God, sin, redemption, and the church, and that leaves no one’s oppression unchallenged and no system of oppression intact. In our present political climate, we desperately need an Intersectional Theology to offer a prophetic call to the church to engage theologically and socially in resistance to the institutions and ideologies that perpetuate oppression. In centering intersectionality, we answer the call of the “least of these,” and we position the church, not as a complicit institution, but as a leader in a vision toward God’s kin-dom that welcomes, affirms, encourages, and supports all of God’s children in all of their God-g

cca Gallo… Australian artist Nicholas Mangan is known for his investigations of major social, cultural and political issues. With a dark undercurrent that hints at obsolescence and human folly, Mangan’s output has included cast objects, video, books and installation. His latest show takes over Artspace from the ground floor to the rooftop. Both Ancient Lights (2015) and Process in Action (2013) are self-powering, off-grid projects. The means by which the projectors are powered forms part of each installation. A noisy diesel-turned-coconut-oil generator inhabits a viewing cell for Progress in Action; in another space, a cage contains batteries, regulators and converters that store the sun’s energy from rooftop solar panels and transform it back into projected light for Ancient Lights. Each project is a self-contained circuit, making manifest Mangan’s interest in mined resources, energetic currents and the ‘physical transformation of a given material to produce energy and therefore effect social change’ (Mangan in exhibition reader). Progress in Action’s video component shows snippets of archival footage of Bougainville, where local indigenous people fought for the closure of a large Australian-run copper mine. Their resistance included the harvesting of energy from coconut oil when their fuel supplies were cut off. One of two videos for Ancient Lights features an endlessly spinning ten-Peso piece, miraculously righting itself each time it tips toward horizontal. Bolstered by invisible forces, it exists in a self-perpetuating closed circuit, an infinite loop with its own strange rules and regulations. Much like the economy, or going off-grid, or a work of art. Until November 1 Artspace, Woolloomooloo Pic: Nicholas Mangan, Ancient Lights, 2015, two-channel HD video with sound, off-grid solar power supply. Installation view, Artspace, 2015.

the words!) but by the ambience of the home and the treatment they receive therein (even when it's hard). I tell my kids that it isn't obedience when they do what they already want to do what they've been instructed – it's obedience when they submit their will to the direction of their authority. It's the same for me. Parenting and loving take the same kind of concentrated effort (we also are in obedience to an authority, after all) By taking care - when we want to lash out harshly - to control our own emotions we show love. They should know that learning is valued and valuable. They should know that we are stewards. They should know a great many things simply by how we live our lives and do our things. They should know the atmosphere they're surrounded by is one that they don't have to pay attention to, but can take for granted as being for them and for their growth toward maturity. This is definitely for parental sanctification. What in the environment tells our children learning is important? What in the math lesson tells your child that math is important? That they can do fractions? That algebra isn't scary? What in the family lifestyle gives children the freedom to try new things, to learn on their own time, to want to learn on their own time? Have we prepared the base plate of our homes, our homeschools, our lessons, our attitudes to support our students by placing it all on Christ, or are we unintentionally throwing their footing off before we even begin? Here's the thing, though, Atmosphere can be intentional, but it has to be natural. There's a tension. We can tell when something is put on awkwardly, like a tshirt backwards or a skirt askew. The atmosphere in your home or school reflects a way of life. What we do as homeschoolers – and as Charlotte Mason homeschoolers, in particular – is counter-cultural. It takes effort. This lifestyle, this atmosphere we enjoy in our home is a radically different, but completely worthwhile way. As we learn to love it more and more, that great room in which we set our feet grows. It seems like it should be smaller, but it's so much wider than we can imagine. That's what intentionally changing our atmosphere does. That post incited a Facebook friend to tell me there's an organ academy for kids in our town. The rest is history. The thing is, while one of my daughters takes organ too, she doesn't love it like he does. She enjoys it, but it isn't consuming. My other daughter's gifts lie elsewhere and she and I decided that 5 years of piano lessons were enough for her. The atmosphere of what we brought into our home, his personal experience, and his natural inclinations led to an enthusiastic practice of what he loves, but it's for him, not for all of my children. By spreading a generous feast of ideas and arts, they can still appreciate each others' interests while delving into their own. They may delve deep in one area, but they still are served from the wide tableau. That generous feast is part of the atmosphere we're bringing to bear. The atmosphere portion of scaffolding is not just the meta, the lifestyle. It is also within the schoolroom. Is it welcoming? Joyful? Is school a job for you or the children? Is it drudgery or vivacious? How do you approach the whole concept of the lessons at hand. The atmosphere of the schoolroom isn't necessarily based on the décor of the schoolroom. Remember, Mason says, “we do not mean that a child should be isolated in what may be called a 'child-environment' especially adapted and prepared," Your attitude is part of the scaffold. It's the same thing – aim at maturity and you will get maturity and a childhood; aim at childhood and you will get perpetual childishness. How can you make your homeschool room welcoming yet not stultifying? This is part of scaffolding the lesson. Atmosphere doesn't only matter in the household or in the schoolroom. During the lesson, are we just trying to get done, already? Are we powering through so we can finish? Are we shutting down interest and wonder with poorly chosen materials or even our own seeming disinterest as we are busy with many things – kitchens, laundry, phones? (pre

aching to myself here). While Masterly Inactivity is important, do we leave children too much on their own (which is not masterly)? How can we be more engaged with our children in their lessons – that they and learning are our priority? Are we prepared for the lesson? What about the end? Do we leave the pathway open to expand upward with questions to seek out more depth and more interest, or do we shut those down because we have so much to do or the questions don't “fit” in the curriculum? That discussion at the end of a lesson often forms the connection to the next lesson. The science of relations helps a student have a relationship with the subject at hand, yes, but one of my favorite questions after a narration is, “Does this remind you of anything?” tying ideas to other ideas. It's especially exciting when it ties to another discipline. My daughter was recently excited to realize that a double negative in math is akin to a double negative in grammar but not in life – two wrongs don't make a right. Discussion out of a lesson led to that understanding. The discussion may bring up questions and ideas that are important to our children, but not in the ensuing lessons. A suggestion I read on Instagram is this little spiral notebook where we can capture those “I wonder ...” questions and have them for later. This way we don't shut down the ideas and thinking, but can continue to move forward without distraction. And we can think more about the idea at a more appropriate time. Scaffolding uses the tool of atmosphere – we foster a lifestyle, we make the school room comfortable and inviting, we prepare in order to encourage careful attention and interest, we seek out relationships and connections.

Teresa, Stella, and Alice are Rehema Home Nairobi’s “terrific trio” or “triple trouble” depending on the moment. They are rarely very far apart. Their presence brings an interesting dynamic, that I’m sure only other parents of triplets can understand. Though they are not identical, they do enjoy tricking people into misidentifying them. Once you truly get to know them, there is no confusion, because they have distinctly different personalities. Alice, the firstborn of the three, is a bit of a quiet fire. She can be competitive and strong, when she needs to be, but seems timid when you first meet her. Even though she is timid, she is also friendly and has a small sweet smile. Teresa, the second born, is the loquacious one. She makes friends easily with her big open smile. She is also very feisty. She won’t be intimidated. Stella, the last born, is the most stoic of the three. Don’t be mistaken, because she is very affectionate. Her smiles don’t come cheaply, but that’s why you know when she does smile, that it is genuine. Yet, as different as these three are, they are also incredibly close. They sit together to do homework and when they want to make art projects. The girls came to us when they were three years old. They were orphaned and left to the care of their grandmother. She was also taking care of their older siblings but realized she could not do it anymore. We were happy to make Alice, Teresa, and Stella a part of our Rehema Home family. They are very bright girls and excellent students. They are much more than a novelty, they are three beautiful souls.

to. DUBNER: Maybe it was more about — you did not want to engage further in that community, and therefore, it was capped at small talk for you. Whereas, theoretically, if you’d been more enthusiastic about that community, per se, no judgment here, that maybe it would have turned into — because, you know, I get the criticism of small talk, no doubt, but I also think that it is a starting point. If the small talk goes well with a particular person, or group of people, then it’ll get deeper. I’m thinking of this friendship formation I’m in the middle of right now. There’s this guy that I know and I chatted with him five or ten times. And it started as pure small talk. DUCKWORTH: Who is this person? DUBNER: He’s actually a golf buddy who I met playing golf. And our level of conversation was extraordinarily superficial for the first several times. But then after about five or ten of those, I found us talking about deeper things. It was a very natural progression. It felt kind of like you’re starting in the shallow end of the pool, and now we’re doing, like, the linguistic version of these full-twisting triple pikes off the high dive. We’re talking about real stuff. And I don’t think it would have started without small talk. So, I’m not so sure that we should dismiss it out of hand. DUCKWORTH: What you’re saying is that this is the entry point to a human relationship. And if you’re like, “Hey, this is kind of dissatisfying,” you’re like, “of course it’s dissatisfying. It’s the entry point.” It can lead to a more meaningful relationship and more meaningful conversation. DUBNER: But it could also be that this guy that I’ve come to like — that there were nine other guys that I didn’t like, and the small talk stays small talk. And that’s fine. You don’t want to be friends with everybody, right? DUCKWORTH: Okay, fair point. And, by the way, I think there is a social lubricant function of small talk. Maybe that’s part of the glue that holds us together. You know, we do want a best friend. We do, for many of us, want a romantic partner for life. But we must also want these weaker social ties. Just to have a neighborhood where you walk around, and you do wave pleasantly to people, and know a little bit about them. DUBNER: Which is what you want. You don’t want to talk about the rhododendron, but you’re happy to have the wave. I also think that small talk is useful as a way to set a boundary. Like, “Yes, you and I, we are communicating, but we don’t have the kind of relationship where we’re going to engage in big talk or deep talk. We’re going to stick to small talk. And you know what? That’s okay, because we don’t need to be friends.” And it reminds me of other linguistic strategies — the formal and familiar versions of words in French. Sometimes you’re “vous,” sometimes you’re “tu.” I just don’t want to toss out the small talk with the big talk. You know, I just learned of this interesting research about work-from-home or work-from-anywhere. We’ve been in this pandemic for 15, 16 months and starting to come out of it. And every firm and employee in the world is basically wondering: if I was able to do remote work, how much of my work will be remote in the future? How much should be in person? What does it mean for real estate, for companies, for personal relationships, and so on? And this one researcher found really useful what was called a “virtual water cooler.” Different people within a firm, especially the kind of people who typically wouldn’t share a meeting, let’s say — when they were invited into a virtual water cooler and engaged there, it led to really significant information exchange, and in some cases, deeper relationships — in some cases hiring or promotion that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. And that, to me, is like the epitome of the potential for small talk. And if it can be done even virtually in a Zoom, I think it’s not to be discounted so easily. DUCKWORTH: The proverbial water cooler as a metaphor for what we’re missing when we’

to. DUBNER: Maybe it was more about — you did not want to engage further in that community, and therefore, it was capped at small talk for you. Whereas, theoretically, if you’d been more enthusiastic about that community, per se, no judgment here, that maybe it would have turned into — because, you know, I get the criticism of small talk, no doubt, but I also think that it is a starting point. If the small talk goes well with a particular person, or group of people, then it’ll get deeper. I’m thinking of this friendship formation I’m in the middle of right now. There’s this guy that I know and I chatted with him five or ten times. And it started as pure small talk. DUCKWORTH: Who is this person? DUBNER: He’s actually a golf buddy who I met playing golf. And our level of conversation was extraordinarily superficial for the first several times. But then after about five or ten of those, I found us talking about deeper things. It was a very natural progression. It felt kind of like you’re starting in the shallow end of the pool, and now we’re doing, like, the linguistic version of these full-twisting triple pikes off the high dive. We’re talking about real stuff. And I don’t think it would have started without small talk. So, I’m not so sure that we should dismiss it out of hand. DUCKWORTH: What you’re saying is that this is the entry point to a human relationship. And if you’re like, “Hey, this is kind of dissatisfying,” you’re like, “of course it’s dissatisfying. It’s the entry point.” It can lead to a more meaningful relationship and more meaningful conversation. DUBNER: But it could also be that this guy that I’ve come to like — that there were nine other guys that I didn’t like, and the small talk stays small talk. And that’s fine. You don’t want to be friends with everybody, right? DUCKWORTH: Okay, fair point. And, by the way, I think there is a social lubricant function of small talk. Maybe that’s part of the glue that holds us together. You know, we do want a best friend. We do, for many of us, want a romantic partner for life. But we must also want these weaker social ties. Just to have a neighborhood where you walk around, and you do wave pleasantly to people, and know a little bit about them. DUBNER: Which is what you want. You don’t want to talk about the rhododendron, but you’re happy to have the wave. I also think that small talk is useful as a way to set a boundary. Like, “Yes, you and I, we are communicating, but we don’t have the kind of relationship where we’re going to engage in big talk or deep talk. We’re going to stick to small talk. And you know what? That’s okay, because we don’t need to be friends.” And it reminds me of other linguistic strategies — the formal and familiar versions of words in French. Sometimes you’re “vous,” sometimes you’re “tu.” I just don’t want to toss out the small talk with the big talk. You know, I just learned of this interesting research about work-from-home or work-from-anywhere. We’ve been in this pandemic for 15, 16 months and starting to come out of it. And every firm and employee in the world is basically wondering: if I was able to do remote work, how much of my work will be remote in the future? How much should be in person? What does it mean for real estate, for companies, for personal relationships, and so on? And this one researcher found really useful what was called a “virtual water cooler.” Different people within a firm, especially the kind of people who typically wouldn’t share a meeting, let’s say — when they were invited into a virtual water cooler and engaged there, it led to really significant information exchange, and in some cases, deeper relationships — in some cases hiring or promotion that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. And that, to me, is like the epitome of the potential for small talk. And if it can be done even virtually in a Zoom, I think it’s not to be discounted so easily. DUCKWORTH: The proverbial water cooler as a metaphor for what we’re missing when we’

re not all in person — I’ve never actually seen anybody standing around. DUBNER: I think bottled water killed the water cooler. DUCKWORTH: But we actually used to have a water cooler, literally. You know, with one of those 60-gallon clear plastic jugs that you’d have to tilt over. And I’ve gotten water out of the water cooler, but I’ve never seen anybody stand around the water cooler and socialize. Usually, after you get the water, you go back to your desk. DUBNER: For all we know, it may be even easier with software than it is in person. We’ve talked about a similar thing in the past. I mentioned that one reason photographers still love black and white is because it kind of sharpens the intensity of the focus. Not the camera focus, but the topical focus. The color makes it almost too rich, too dense, too lifelike. And instead, black and white can sharpen what you’re actually looking at. It may be that virtually, that kind of small talk is better because you’re not dealing with all the in-person cues that happens when two people, or five people, talk with each other. And you can actually focus, instead, on the content of what’s being said. And maybe that content actually builds stronger ties. Maybe that’s why Yvonne is so frustrated, is because when you’re in-person talking small talk with someone you kind of know that you’re killing time, and you’re not really affording the opportunity to make it slightly-bigger talk. But, look, Yvonne maybe should just move somewhere. Small talk is not universal. It is not popular everywhere. DUCKWORTH: Are there cultures that don’t have small talk? DUBNER: Well, first of all, I think America is a world champion in small talk. DUCKWORTH: Are we really? DUBNER: There is a Brandeis psychologist named Andrew Molinsky who’s written about how people from other countries are often surprised at how important small talk is in the U.S., and how naturally and comfortably people seem to do it. I’m sure you know the cross-cultural psychologist Michele Gelfand. She’s talked about the difference in national cultures being either generally loose or tight. And the U.S. is pretty loose. And so, that would make sense that we are willing, and even able, to engage in some kind of conversation, even with people we don’t know at all, and even if the conversation is not going anywhere. But not everywhere is this the case. So, in Finland, for example, small talk is seen, as I understand it, as a total waste of time. There is, apparently, a national saying which says, “Silence is gold, talking is silver.” DUCKWORTH: Now I’m trying to picture these Finns standing around in silence. Are they really just not saying anything to each other, unless they’re going to drop a deep insight? I mean, I’m trying to imagine what social life looks like in the absence of these pleasantries. Feels awkward. DUBNER: Okay, let me ask you this then. What would your best advice be for Yvonne, or anyone, who chafes at the emptiness of small talk? What would your best advice be for turning small talk into something more substantive? DUCKWORTH: So, Yvonne, you might enjoy research that says substantive, self-disclosing conversations — by “self-disclosing” I mean you are revealing something personal about yourself —. DUBNER: Like, “Let me tell you about my last colonoscopy,” that kind of thing? DUCKWORTH: That would be self-disclosing, Stephen. I know my friend Marc Brackett at Yale would prefer people ask each other, not “How are you?” but, “How are you feeling.” “How are you feeling?” might invite like, “Actually I’m kind of tired right now.” As opposed to, “How are you?” Which gives you the reflexive, “I’m fine. How are you?” So, there are paths to this more substantive and self-disclosing kind of conversation. One question I might have for Yvonne, though, is whether she considers herself an introvert or an extrovert? Because, it turns out that when you ask people to be a little more socially engaged with other people — basically act like an extrovert would — introverts can actually get a

and profound about becoming an adult human being?” He continues by claiming, “There are a few fantasies that are. One of them is Paradise Lost.” And so Pullman ironically repurposes Milton to write a specifically anti-Christian apologetics. His Dark Materials takes place in a counter-factual history where the contemporary day seems vaguely Victorian steam-punkish, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church exerts absolute control over knowledge (even if in this world John Calvin became a pope and moved the papacy to Geneva), and a type of magic exists. Pullman depicts movements between parallel realities of the “multiverse,” the existence of “daemons” (a type of animal familiar used by the characters), and the actual death of God—not to speak of the talking polar bears. Who the villains are in the trilogy is not ambiguous. One character explains, “What is happening, and who it is that we must fight. It is the Magisterium, the Church. For all of its history… it’s tried to suppress and control every natural impulse.” But perhaps “Gnostic” might be a more accurate description of the theology of His Dark Materials than simply either anti-Christian or atheist. Pullman’s religious imagination is profound, if heterodox, but it certainly has the concern with ultimate things that are the hallmark of all great, visionary religious writing. Rather, Pullman has followed that injunction of Blake’s that claims that one “must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s.” Arguably that was exactly what Milton had done as well, taking the narrative of scripture and fashioning his own new story. And so, in that fashion, all great authors must work from the raw, dark materials of the traditions that have come before us, using that substance as the ever malleable base for our own systems. The story is not just long—it never ends. Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons. The Utopias of Ursula K. Le Guin Kelly Lynn Thomas | 1 The revolutionary science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin, who passed away January 22, understood something important about ideal worlds and societies: Utopia is not perfection. Utopia is process. It is reflection and adjustment, learning and growth. It is communication and respect, self-awareness and honesty. This concept echoes throughout her body of work, but she explores utopia-as-process fully in one of her most radical novels, Always Coming Home, published in 1985. This novel, more accurately described as a fictional anthropological study, has no singular narrative and no main character. Certainly, we hear life stories from individuals in the Kesh society depicted in the book, but traditional narrative isn’t the only means by which Le Guin tells this story—she includes poems, plays, illustrations, musical notation, and other ephemera as part of the tale. This nonlinear narrative structure, along with the stories included therein, synthesizes Le Guin’s beliefs on the unavoidable, destructive outcomes of a patriarchal, capitalist society by rejecting them whole cloth. In a 2015 essay for Motherboard, Le Guin wrote, “Every benefit industrialism and capitalism have brought us, every wonderful advance in knowledge and health and communication and comfort, casts the same fatal shadow. All we have, we have taken from the earth; and, taking with ever-increasing speed and greed, we now return little but what is sterile or poisoned.” Much of her fiction concerns itself with finding a better way, a way mutually beneficial to humans and the earth. Indeed, in Always Coming Home’s utopic society, the Kesh live in a reclaimed post-apocalyptic California. Although some land remains arable, much of what was formerly the United States is inhospitable to human life. The text implies that the conquest-driven, consumptive culture of the 20th century directly led to the continent’s ruination. Despite the harshness of their environment, the Kesh thrive. But how do you build utopia from destruction and ruin? Here’s where the book becomes difficult, radical, and complex. The hinge spiral, a two-armed spiral circling out from a single center point, is the key to understanding both the novel and Le Guin’s vision of utopia. Not only does the spir

But how do you build utopia from destruction and ruin? Here’s where the book becomes difficult, radical, and complex. The hinge spiral, a two-armed spiral circling out from a single center point, is the key to understanding both the novel and Le Guin’s vision of utopia. Not only does the spir

al form the central motif for the Kesh, but the narrative structure itself echoes the spiral. Always Coming Home is a study in what a complete and utter rejection of capitalism and patriarchy might look like—for society and for the art of storytelling. For the Kesh, poverty is non-existent because the society supports all of its members. Artists, artisans, and other creative types are valued as highly as hunters and farmers. The people work with the land, not against it, and certainly not in dominion over it. Greed is unnecessary because every person has what they need to be happy and healthy. Crime is so minimal as to be nonexistent. Although many of Le Guin’s other novels contain utopias, her most well-read novels are not quite as grand in vision as Always Coming Home. The Left Hand of Darkness, published in 1969, chiefly addresses the singular topic of gender/sex and the consequences of favoring one biological sex over the other. The Dispossessed, a 1974 novel written in response to the Vietnam War, explores an anarchist utopia and what a world without capitalism might look like. But it, too, stops short of completely re-envisioning society. In addition, these novels—along with the majority of Le Guin’s books and short stories—follow a semi-traditional narrative structure. They have a beginning, middle, and end. They have protagonists and antagonists. They use the language of patriarchy, albeit subversively. By avoiding a linear narrative in Always Coming Home, Le Guin escapes the trap inherent in all would-be subversive texts: the use of language, which is controlled by patriarchy. Always Coming Home avoids the patriarchal conventions of storytelling by first eschewing a traditional narrative arc detailing a protagonist triumphing over an antagonist. Instead of one arc, Always Coming Home consists of many smaller arcs. The text’s longest section, “Stone Telling”—the life story of a woman of the same name—takes up only slightly more than 100 of the text’s 525 pages. The inclusion of other life stores aside from Stone Telling’s, such as those in the “Eight Life Stories” section, shows that no one narrative should represent an entire group of people or a place. Rather, diverse voices should be given a space in which to share their experiences and stories, whatever form those stories might take. In The Left Hand of Darkness, we are privy only to Genly Ai’s reactions to the ambisexual Gethenians. In The Dispossessed, we follow Shevek in his studies and experiences with anarchism and capitalism. In Always Coming Home, Le Guin presents an entire world of stories and perspectives. (This is not, of course, to say that Le Guin’s other novels don’t have value and meaning—they absolutely do, and are great in their own ways.) Always Coming Home also escapes the patriarchal convention of linear storytelling by situating the creative and autobiographical works of the text, which constitute its bulk, within a socio-historical context. Pandora’s commentary and informational sections lend weight to those creative works by giving them extra layers of symbolic and historic meaning, and more importantly, by revealing the processes through which Kesh society maintains its utopia (this is also a subversion of the concept of “utopia,” which by patriarchal storytelling tradition cannot exist and always ends badly). The novel’s arrangement is not, however, without shape, and its shape allows the text to communicate with itself. The “Stone Telling” section, broken into three parts, is the hinge around which Le Guin spirals the historical, societal, literary, and biographical sections of the text, many of which are also broken into multiple parts. These sections do not exist independently of each other, although they can be read separately. Instead, they wrap around each other and reflect upon each other, building meaning as they go. At the very end of “Time and the City,” the Archivist at the city of Wakwaha tells Pandora, “Tell about the Condor. Let Stone Telling tell her story.” Linearly speaking, though, Stone Telling’s story began on page seven, and part two begins on page 173, immediately after this exchange between Pandora and the Archivist. The narrator’s
