5 percent of the general population experience brief and occasional voices. Most voice hearers cope well with their voices. Nevertheless, in psychiatry, hearing voices is regarded as a symptom of schizophrenia (“paranoid schizophrenia”). The standard treatment is to suppress the voices through antipsychotic medication, often with debilitating side effects. The Hearing Voices Network (HVN), founded in 1987 in the Netherlands by the Dutch psychiatrist Marius Romme, is an organization that rejects the established notion that hearing voices is a symptom of mental illness. Positioned outside of the official mental health world, the HVN is of the opinion that hearing voices is a common “human variation” rather than a psychopathological phenomenon. According to Marius Romme, the real problem is not the voices themselves but the relationship the person has with the voices. In his view, the voices are a reflection of the thoughts and emotions of the voice hearer (“when the voice makes you aggressive, the voice expresses your aggression; the aggression you can’t express“). The HVN treatment method is to engage with the voices, to listen and to respond to them, and to change the relationship to the voices in order to be better able to cope with them. This is certainly a welcome alternative to the dominant psychiatric protocol. However, this practice only calms the voices. In the end, their presence remains. Dr. Hamer's research demonstrates that hearing voices originates from two hearing conflicts that correspond to the hearing relays in the cerebral cortex. This brain CT shows the two brain relays (control centers of the right and left inner ear) from where the voice hearing is controlled (view the GNM diagram). The sharp borders of the Hamer Foci indicate conflict activity. In this lecture, Professor Romme asserts that the verbal interaction between the voices and the voice hearer shows as “activity in the speech center” (28:16). The speech center, or Broca's area (see diagram), controls the ability to speak and to pronounce words, which is why it is embedded in the laryngeal muscles relay. The claim that the speech center is activated by the talking of inner voices is, therefore, highly doubtful. The voices are either those that were heard at the moment of the DHS or they mimic the sound and language of the original voices. Depending on the exact conflict experience, the voices are critical, offensive, or hostile. With severe hearing conflicts (highly upsetting news, verbal insults, accusations, threats) the voices can become overwhelming. Potentially, the distress of hearing the voices triggers new hearing conflicts (“I don’t want to hear this!”) leading to a chronic condition. The GNM approach is to establish when the second hearing conflict occurred, since this was the time when the voices were first heard. This could have happened at any age (theories suggesting that hearing voices is caused by prenatal trauma are purely hypothetical, because in the event that the fetus suffers hearing conflicts in utero, the voices would already be heard in early infancy). Paying attention to the language, diction, and what the voices are saying reveals the underlying conflict, including whom the voices represent (“They say very nasty things about me – abusive, sexual, violent things, which echo what I heard when I was little”). Observing when the voices appear points to possible conflict tracks. The objective is to identify and resolve the hearing conflict(s) because only then will the voice hearing stop. NOTE: Since there are no vital organs involved (see organ level), aiming for a conflict resolution bears no risks. Those who hear voices of the dead are at the same time in a Flying Constellation. The related territorial fear conflicts and scare-fright conflicts are often triggered by the unexpected loss of the loved one. When the bereaved is ready to move on, the voices are usually no longer heard. The combination of a Flying Constellation and a Hearing Constellation is ideal for the practice of mediumship, for channeling the spirits of the deceased. Many voice hearers are inspired by their voices. Famous people, including Socrates, Joan of Arc, Teresa of Avila, Carl Jung, Gandhi, Rudolf Steiner, and Robert Schumann reported having heard voices that acted as their inspiration. The voices came either from those who have already passed on or from supernatural sources (angels, spirit guides). People that suffer abuse or torture often hear voices during the or

deal. In psychiatry, the telepathic voices are usually regarded as “psychotic” and considered a fabrication rather than a meaningful communication. Joan of Arc (1412–1431), the mystic visionary who led the French to victory at Orleans, began to experience visions and voices at the age of thirteen (“I was thirteen when I had a voice from God … it was mid-day, in the summer, in my father’s garden … When I heard it for the third time, I recognized that it was the Voice of an Angel … it told me it was necessary for me to come into France … It said to me: “Go, raise the siege which is being made before the City of Orleans. Go!” – Source: Joan of Arc Quotes). In Hallucinations (2012), neurologist Oliver Sacks suggests that Joan of Arc may have had “temporal lobe epilepsy with ecstatic auras” (see “ecstatic seizures”) and wonders: “Is this because there is something special – a preexisting disposition to religion or metaphysical belief – in these particular people? Or is it because the seizure stimulates particular parts of the brain that serve to mediate religious feelings?” Dr. Hamer identified those areas in the brain that activate religious or mystical visions (see also Flying Constellation) already in the early 1990s! In 1854, the German composer Robert Schumann (1810–1856) started to hear voices while he was editing his complete works. Besides hearing a single note (tinnitus), he heard voices and angelic music. He purportedly heard the voices of either Schubert or Mendelssohn who dictated a “spirit theme” to him from the other side. In the days leading up to his second suicide attempt (he jumped into the Rhine River from a bridge - see Flying Constellation), Schumann wrote five variations on this theme, today known as the Geistervariationen (Ghost Variations). However, when the door to other dimensions is open, this might attract hostile entities with harmful intentions (suggested reading: Wilson Van Dusen, The Presence of Spirits In Madness). With so called “command hallucinations”, the unsettling voices demand specific, potentially dangerous behaviors that could be detrimental to oneself and/or others. With a concurrent Aggressive Constellation, the person is more compelled to obey the malevolent dictates. Threats voiced for non-compliance to their commands can lead to persecution conflicts resulting in paranoia (see Paranoia Constellation). • The identification of next disruptive trends will be the source of long-term performance for investors but the segment gathers plenty of sub-segments and not all companies will be successful. • Key criteria we look for in tech investments include large addressable markets, adaptability across regions and businesses, and an ability to create strong barriers to entry. • The current environment justifies an active management of risk that will translate in our ability to leverage on market noise whilst looking to buy in the best conditions the strategic winners for the future. • Promising segments we like include targeted advertising and selling, software data analytics and the gaming industry, all of which we believe benefit from much higher growth than the broader market.

Looking for disruption in tech:Why? How? But…? For an investor seeking opportunities to generate long-term performance, it is vital to identify the next disruptive trends that will affect an existing market or create a brand new one. Today, investors are witnessing an acceleration of disruptive trends. Consumers are now able to adopt new technology at a rate never seen before. For example, it took 38 years for radio to reach 50 million users, whereas it took Internet Explorer four years to reach the same milestone. The user base for Instagram hit 50 million in just six months, whereas it took the augmented reality game Pokemon Go only 19 days. Beyond this phenomenon of accelerating tech adoption, investors are also witnessing the emergence of a completely new dynamic: the “winner takes all” where dominant players are able to capture a very large share of the rewards,

I would love to know if writers got their hands on old radio transcription recordings. It would've been a very clever way to come-up with plots, especially on very successful shows like Amos and Andy, Suspense, etc. I've gone through hundreds of these radio shows at this point and am catching almost exact plots repeated on TV. The writers would've felt that no one would be able to or care about hearing the old radio shows again. [ 13 posts ] Moderator: Mike Wheat Home»Things To Do»Mountain Biking in Palo Duro Palo Duro Canyon State Park is a sight to be seen to fully appreciate, as pictures do not do it justice. Better yet, Palo Duro is a place to be biked to fully appreciate. There are three trails designed to be biked: Givens, Spicer & Lowry Running Trail (GSL, for short), Lighthouse Trail, and Capitol Peak Mountain Bike Trail. Other than on Capitol Peak, hikers may be encountered along the way so be careful, especially on Lighthouse Trail. GSL is definitely the most fun of the three trails, though it may present a few difficult sections for novice riders. Don’t let that steer you away from riding it, however, as it’s the most scenic of the three trails and thanks to the traction of its red dirt, is a blast to ride. GSL probably rates no more than a 2 over-all, but does have a few moments where it strives to be a 3. It’s not overly difficult, but features some interesting sections with drop offs and such along its red dirt pathway. Lighthouse Trail is a wide path mainly designed for hiking to the Lighthouse, probably the best known attraction to Palo Duro Canyon. Since it’s mostly a wide path there are very few real difficult climbs or drops, those that are really steep have an alternate route offering a bypass for bikes. On the way back, however, it’s totally your choice if you wish to take the drops down. Half way out to the Lighthouse tends to get a bit sandier and loose – more reason to keep both hands on your handlebars. You can’t reach the Lighthouse directly from the trail, so if you wish to make the climb to the lighthouse, bring a lock to secure your bike to the bike rack at the end of the trail. You won’t be able to take your bike up to the lighth

Dead Cells Has Reached Over One Million Copies Sold; PC and Switch Its Best-Selling Platforms Ryan Meitzler March 25, 2019 11:07 PM EST NewsXbox OnePS4SwitchPC Since its debut in August of last year, Motion Twins' acclaimed roguelike Dead Cells has reached impressive sales of 1 million units. With a compelling mix of challenging roguelike gameplay and addictive Metroidvania elements, Dead Cells felt like the perfect mixture of two different genres when the game first debuted in Early Access in 2017, and from the looks of it, the game seems to have been a major financial success for its creative team at Motion Twin. Dead Cells Review — Breathing Life Into Roguelikes As detailed by USgamer, Motion Twin’s game designer Sebastien Benard shared some details on Dead Cells at GDC 2019 since the game launched in August of last year. Benard revealed that to date, the game has sold over one million copies, with about 60% of the game’s sales coming from PC. In terms of the game’s console versions, Switch seems to be the leading platform compared to PS4 and Xbox One. Thankfully, Dead Cells‘ success certainly seems to have paid off for the studio, as during the GDC presentation, Beanrd detailed how the game was essentially a “last chance project” for the studio during its development. As Motion Twin was primarily working on other projects, including free-to-play games, Dead Cells seemed like it was exactly the kind of game that the studio needed not only to stay alive, but to break out in a major way. As a fan of the title myself, Dead Cells certainly managed to make a name for itself in a particularly crowded genre, and with new DLC on the way for the game in the near future, luckily there is more around the corner for this acclaimed (and successful) title.

al. Earlier this year, another conservative SBC church withdrew from the denomination citing “biblically weak, sick, and unhealthy local churches,” at the hands of Al Mohler, Russell Moore, and JD Greear, among others. Last week, another SBC church also withdrew which was announced by Amy Spreeman, a member who decided to join the church the same day the church unanimously voted to withdraw. After the Southern Baptist Convention enlisted a pro-homosexual speaker, Boz Tchividjian, to address the entire denomination and help form “sex abuse” policies for the denomination, people have simply had enough and are ready to get out.

Charismatic Worship Singer Sings About Snorting, Smoking, and Overating to God Apostasy Publisher - January 25, 2023 Home/politics/Saquon Barkley added to injury report with neck injury as Giants prepare for Eagles – The Denver Post Saquon Barkley added to injury report with neck injury as Giants prepare for Eagles – The Denver Post EleonDecember 9, 2022 Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale is blown away by the number of injuries he suffered in his first season in New York. “It’s just one of those years where you walk around shaking your head like, ‘I can’t believe this,'” Martindale said Thursday. that we have suffered.” Thursday’s new injury hit the offense: running back Saquon Barkley appeared limited in practice with a neck injury. It is Barkley’s first appearance on the Giants’ official injury report since mid-October, when he was restricted on October 19-20 with a right shoulder injury leading to a road win over the Jaguars. of Jacksonville. He’s expected to play Sunday when the Giants (7-4-1) host the Philadelphia Eagles (11-1), but that may help explain his recent nose drop in production, including his seven carries for three yards in the second half last Sunday and overtime against Washington. Barkley spoke to the media on Thursday before being added to the injury report. When asked how he was feeling physically, Barkley said: “I feel like it’s week 14 of the season, it doesn’t matter if I got 200 touches or 10 touches. It’s a chore. It is the wear and tear of the mind, of the body. That’s the nature of the NFL but also its beauty. Barkley said he heard reviews for his recent play. “I know people say I’m slowing down,” he said. “I really don’t see it that way. I think we faced some tough teams. I think it was November, December football and we played some meaningful games, played some really good teams and they did a really good job. “Now it’s on my side,” he added. “Where I have to continue to reflect on myself and see what I can do best and take advantage of the opportunities that come my way.” To be fair to Barkley, though, he hasn’t always been running like he’s perfectly healthy lately. He went out of bounds in a run against the commanders rather than fight for a few more meters and turned his body almost as if to avoid contact with the right shoulder he initially injured on October 9 in London against the Green Bay Packers. Interestingly, he is not listed with a shoulder injury. The Giants call it neck disease, the same designation the team gave to both defensive tackle Leonard Williams and left guard Josh Ezeudu, who were absent from practices. The same goes for one of the most injured teams in the NFL each year, which was also hit this year by a series of sprained MCLs and torn ACLs. The Giants have missed a total of 191 player games this season due to injuries and health protocols, according to ManGamesLost.com, which is tied for third in the NFL with the Denver Broncos. Only the Tennessee Titans (204) and New Orleans Saints (203) missed more. From a football perspective, the Giants offensive line hasn’t been as good a run

Time is not on our side.” The IPCC’s Synthesis Report was published on Sunday in Copenhagen, after a week of intense debate between scientists and government officials. “There is a myth that climate action will cost heavily,” said Mr Ban, “but inaction will cost much more.” “We have to first lower the temperature as you will to do with your children, that is what we are doing, that requires some massive, urgent and immediate action.” The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, described the report as “another canary in the coal mine”. “Those who choose to ignore or dispute the science so clearly laid out in this report do so at great risk for all of us and for our kids and grandkids,” Mr Kerry said in a statement. Rapid phase out “It’s very clear from the report that fossil fuels have had their day,” said Prof Arthur Petersen from UCL and a member of the Dutch government’s team in Copenhagen. “Of course it is up to politicians to decide which risks they want to take with climate change, so it is not policy prescriptive in saying that these reductions should take place, but it is absolutely clear that the reductions should take place if you want to limit (temperature increases) to 2C.” For electricity production, this would mean a rapid move away from coal and into renewables and other low carbon forms, including nuclear.

Ban Ki-moon: “There is a myth that climate change action will cost heavily” The report suggests renewables will have to grow from their current 30% share to 80% of the power sector by 2050. In the longer term the report states “fossil fuel power generation without CCS is phased out almost entirely by 2100”. The chair of the IPCC Dr Rajendra Pachauri said that greener electricity is key. “If the world wants to go on this pathway of keeping temperatures increases below 2 degrees C by the end of the century, then by the middle of the century we will have to treble or quadruple the use of low carbon or zero carbon energy from renewables, and sources like bioenergy, nuclear and carbon capture and storage.” Three previous reports from the IPCC, issued over the past 13 months, have outlined the causes, the impacts and the potential solutions to climate change. The Synthesis boils these three into one, with the intention of informing politicians engaged in attempts to deliver a new global treaty on climate by the end of 2015. It re-states many familiar positions: Warming is “unequivocal” and the human influence on climate is clear Since the 1950s the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia The period from 1983 to 2012, it says, was likely the warmest 30 year period of the last 1,400 years Warming impacts are already being seen around the globe, in the acidification of the oceans, the melting of arctic ice and poorer crop yields in many parts Without concerted action on carbon, temperatures will increase over the coming decades and could be almost 5C above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century Politicians have agreed that a rise of 2C is the threshold of danger. In this report the IPCC authors outline a number of routes to keep to that level by the end of the century. Countries will need to adapt rapidly, but almost all scenarios see near zero emissions by 2100.

The conclusion that fossil fuels cannot continue to be burned in the usual way – and must be phased out by the end of the century – presents governments with an unusually stark choice.

that type, in Canada, and progress is far slower than many had hoped to making the technology either widespread or affordable. So this raises the difficult question of how key governments are likely to respond. The last big climate gathering – in New York in September – saw leader after leader talk up the need for action on global warming. But events in Copenhagen back in 2009, when a disastrous and dysfunctional summit failed to agree anything substantial, showed how easily rhetoric crumbles in the face of economic pressures or domestic realities. The talk today is that attitudes have somehow changed, that next year’s summit in Paris really does have a chance to reach a global agreement. Let’s see. “We can’t afford to burn all the fossil fuels we have without dealing with the waste product which is CO2 and without dumping it in the atmosphere,” said Prof Myles Allen from Oxford University, and a member of the IPCC core writing team. “If we can’t develop carbon capture we will have to stop using fossil fuels if we want to stop dangerous climate change, that is a very clear message that comes out of the IPCC reports.” The clarity of the language over the future of coal, oil, and gas was welcomed by campaigners. “What they have said is that we must get to zero emissions, and that’s new,” said Samantha Smith from WWF. “The second thing is they said that it is affordable, it is not going to cripple economies.” Saudi concerns In their discussions on fossil fuels, there was a fierce battle over a chart that showed how much the electricity sector needed to curb its carbon. According to one observer, “the Saudis went ballistic” over its inclusion. Another significant fight was over the inclusion of text about Article 2 of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. It quickly became a standoff between those who want the focus to be on cutting emissions against those who think the right to develop economies must come first. An unlikely alliance between Bolivia and Saudi Arabia ultimately saw the section dropped entirely from the underlying report. “There was a box in the draft, and in the end that box wasn’t included in the underlying report,” said Prof Petersen. “History will tell us whether it was wise or not, there are lessons to be learned here.” Some of those attending said they believed that that tackling climate change and sustainable development went hand in hand. “Different countries come to different perspectives” said Prof Jim Skea from Imperial College and a review editor of the report. “But from the science perspective, we need them both. We need to walk and chew gum at the same time.” Follow Matt on Twitter @mattmcgrathbbc.

"Empire Magazine" I got the privilege to sit down with Dr.Espling of Twisted Thought after a late night show at one of the all age clubs here in town. The show was insane, filled with mostly metal kids wearing there Slipknot and Lamb of God t-shirts. I thought Twisted Thoughts would never be able to make this crowd get into their music. There was just too much of a difference from them to the other bands on the bill this night. I spent the night wading through intense growling vocals and buzz saw guitars to windup at the foot of the stage just in time for Twisted Thoughts to take over. The intro music began to play and the lights flickered to life. The voice over in the intro music insisted that the crowd welcome Dr.Espling, Spider and P. And the crowed roared with delight as the bass beats hit and each member made there entrance. The band quickly came to point and jumped into one of the highest energy shows I have seen in many years. They ran through a 45 minute set of pure hits. Starting with the extremely catchy “Price We Pay” followed by some more bouncy songs about doom and gloom. The biggest crowd please had to be “booty Crimes” this song is a club hit from the door! They ended their set with a song that brought Tha Doc out on stage wrapped in chains and a straight-jacket. He was being tortured and beaten all while performing the

Obviously minus any social order (be it Christianity or some from of ideology), you descend to chaos. In a transitional society, which many people are guessing Europe is in at the moment, the long term trouble is not current chaos (bad as that is) but the fact that no one has mapped out where they want to be.

And he has made some really powerful points. Others have mentioned these but not quite gone into the details all in one place as with BRs blog. Regarding Hitler and the Nazis, I meant to have added that while Harris and Hitchens spend much time nailing Christianity for what Harris calls the “cultural” climate of “hate” caused by Martin Luther and some others under the umbrella of Chrisitanity, and there is some kernals of truth to this, it seems that Nazi hatred of the Jew was more a particular German aversion. Cultural, but not all due Christianity. In the past, or so is my understanding, a Jew could have avoided trouble by conversion. Even in the Inquisition. Not so in Nazi Germany, where the emphasis was on your background.

You could not escape death or arrest by simply saying you’ve renounced the laws of God in the Hebrew Bible, the Torah, the Talmud, or converting to Christianity. To the death camps you’ll go anyhow. So it seems a racial issue more than

anything else. I think BR is correct in that this stemmed mostly from a nationalist fervor that like many nationalist fervors, seeks to demonize a people as an easy scapegoat for economic and social ills probably actually caused by domestic policies and Weimar rule. Still, Harris blames the hatred of the Jew on Christianity. It is regrettable, of course, that Luther had some ugly commentary and that while Christians should have considered the Jews their own cultural kin, this was not always the case. For that matter I could bring up small town southern churches here in the US that still use deragatory language against African Americans among those sitting in the pews and make unwelcome people of other backgrounds and have some rather odd and cockamamie poppycock notions too. Too bad. Yes, sometimes the Skeptics point out that Christiandom has become all too often ChristianDUMB. All I can say is that we are all people and many people depending on education and social interaction never develop properly. Same is true of many Skeptics, who rehash the same things over and over and have some really oddball takes on politics and culture, for example. I think what is going on is what a friend of mine said in that often you’ll see many people not particularly thirsty for knowledge. Faith does not depend on this, however. I assume BR would say that while apologetics is fine (which is what his site is geared to) it is necessary for the edification of others on some occasions if they are seeking, but not necessary for faith alone. Everybody has different levels of knowledge they need to secure faith? Another more common take on the unfairness of life in general is found in an all too common parody of Christians. Perhaps it is just abusive nonsense. But still, I have not seen a crisp answer from theologians on this particular one. There is some truth here, in that certain things are so horrific they defy description. Ever hear of Gustave and (a parody) how William Dembski pontificates on a wise Designer who wonderfully and fearfully (quite so, it seems) makes the Leviathan? Now you will. Too, you’ll see how one mockery of Christianity refers to those who apparently say Jesus can convert Gustave from a child ripper and gut crunching fanatic into a peaceful reptilian denizen of the freshwater deep. Of course Dembski says no such thing. But the implication is that ID or God-revelation for answers to such horror is so easily mocked: ((**WARNING–graphic content for many reasons–verbal and descriptive. Gustave is truly not to be trifled with unless you have a 30.06 **)) http://thestubborncurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2007/07/killer-croc-converts.html?showComment=1185989580000 The idea here apparently being twofold: 1) Poe’s Law dictates that no parody of Christians is ever so unreal or dismissible, or every so easy to dissect, since the idiotic redneckish Fundy-Maniac billing always fits. 2) A wise designer would NEVER create such a creature as Gustave. Interesting too that William Dembski is mentioned here in parody as well. Granted the quotes are baloney, but apparently this author feels that ID is something that can be reverse engineered to explain away anything. (As can Genesis purportedly can be so absurdly used to explain why nasty animals are even around if God is loving and wise, etc., etc) For good or ill, Obamaniacs never seem to hold themselves to this kind of parody. Fainting and swooning in the aisles over the New Messiah is not enough to raise PZ’s ire either. Although he recently did crumple a page of the Koran in the trash, and mocked Obama’s former nutcase pastor Jeremiah Wright. Yes, the natural world can be very dangerous to humans. Crocs, snakes, lions, rioting chimps, child predators, and cuddly polar bears–oh my! The usual explanation is that we live in a fallen world. But I wanted your take on this also, since you often have more Scriptural and historical insights into how this is all placed in context from a God who cares for living beings. The sight of children especially being killed in such gruesome manners

The Washington Huskies defensive lineman had never been seriously hurt in his football career, but had to sit out spring practices this year after sustaining an injury while lifting weights. As he watched spring practices from the sidelines, his left arm in a sling, Gaines had to resist the instinctual urge to run onto the field with his fellow starters. “It was definitely strange standing there,” Gaines said Monday. “Coach would call ‘one base,’ and I’d be ready to run out, and I would be like, ‘wait a minute.’ So it’s been different. But I was just getting my strength back and getting ready to go for this season, which is what matters.” What also matters: the Huskies began fall camp on Monday with a 90-minute workout at the Dempsey Indoor facility, wearing only shirts and shorts and shoes with no helmets and no pads. They revisited fundamentals like footwork and quarterback-tailback handoffs. They gathered for some 11-on-11 work, but mostly used their first preseason practice as a refresher course for many things they have already done, as coach Chris Petersen’s teams always do this time of year. Petersen, of course, warns that despite the Huskies’ banner 2016 season, despite the talent they return after winning 12 games and the Pac-12 championship and appearing in the College Football Playoff, they won’t be the same team in 2017. Five defensive starters departed, four of those drafted by NFL teams. (Star receiver John Ross III is gone to the league, too.) Yet there is a sense among those returning, particularly on defense, that a drop-off isn’t only avoidable, but unlikely. Different doesn’t have to mean worse. “I don’t see any holes in our defense,” said fifth-year senior linebacker Azeem Victor. “Everyone is ready to go out there. Everyone is ready to play. I can see that. Just being around these guys, even in the summer, just their mindset of how they worked out, I can tell that they’re ready to roll.” As Gaines noted, the Huskies return Victor and fellow fifth-year senior Keishawn Bierria at linebacker, and Gaines and fellow fourth-year junior Vita Vea – a potential top-10 draft pick in 2018 – anchor a defensive line that should again be stout against the run after leading the Pac-12 in yards-per-carry allowed last season. “They expect us to be the same team we were last year, the same defense,” Bierria said at Pac-12 media days. “We’re going to look totally different, because we have a new group of dudes coming in, and it’s going to be special.” The biggest question is in the secondary, where the Huskies bid farewell to a trio of second-round draft picks – cornerbacks Sidney Jones and Kevin King, plus safety Budda Baker – following last season’s breakthrough. It would be difficult to fathom a scenario in which the Huskies experience zero drop-off from that crew to the new one, though that transition is aided some by the presence of safeties Jojo McIntosh and Taylor Rapp. Plus, defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake said, the new guys should be pretty good, too.

’s at nickel or somewhere else. Senior safety Ezekiel Turner is one of the team’s biggest hitters. True freshman Elijah Molden will get a chance to earn immediate playing time. Sophomore Myles Bryant – the former walk-on is now on scholarship – could see the field plenty, too. So could third-year sophomore Austin Joyner. “I think this is going to be one of the most competitive camps we’ve ever had. I told that to those guys about five hours ago, in our first meeting,” Lake said. “I am very, very excited about this group. I think they’re all going to push each other. They’re going to hold each other to a high standard.” On Monday, the Huskies wore shirts with the word “Hunt” printed on the front.

Thanks to modern surgical techniques, high school math teacher Jessica Gibson of Knoxville has drop-kicked a soccer injury to the curb. Gibson, 32, was playing in an indoor league in November 2016 when she and another player hit the ball at the same time, from opposite sides. “All the force from hitting the ball went into my leg and shattered the bone,” she said. “I wasn’t kicked or anything liked that, so it must have been the perfect angle.” She knew at once something was wrong. “I saw my leg bend in a bad way in the corner of my eye,” she said. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I just broke my leg. No, that didn’t just happen.’ Then it started hurting, and I realized, yeah, that happened. “It was super sharp pain, and any time my leg would move I could almost feel the bones moving, too. I had on tight socks and a shin guard, which was a good thing. But it was not pleasant,” she recalled. Friends called an ambulance, and Gibson asked to be taken to Parkwest Medical Center. “It was my choice,” she said. “I have some friends who had suggested it, and it was also pretty close.” They took her straight to the emergency department, where hospital staff took Xrays. Gibson had shattered her tibia and fibula in her right leg. The tibia is the front, larger bone, and the fibula is the smaller bone just behind it in the lower leg. Stabilizing them for the night was very painful. “It hurt so badly they had to knock me out,” she said. “They got me into a room for the night, and then I had surgery the next morning at 7:30 a.m.” Parkwest Orthopedic Surgeon Ryan Dabbs, MD, performed the surgery, which involved installing a small rod, a plate, and five screws to stabilize the bones in Gibson’s leg. “Any person can break both bones in their lower leg with the right force, usually a direct impact or twist. When playing sports competitively, an athlete is at risk for both of these,” said Dr. Dabbs. “The injury becomes more complex when there are several fragments of bone,” he added. “This is what happened to Jessica. She broke both bones into several fragments, requiring putting the pieces back together like a puzzle.” Gibson spent two nights in the hospital. “I was in a lot of pain. The first pain medication wasn’t working, so they were very helpful in trying to find what worked for me. The poor night nurse, I was constantly calling her!” Despite the pain, Gibson added, “I had a great experience at Parkwest. Everybody was super helpful and friendly.” She stayed off her leg for six weeks, and then used one crutch for four more weeks. Since then, she has been exercising on her own. “I’m still not super flexible but it’s getting there,” she said

humble and contrite, those who tremble at His word. The Lord is tired of outward expressions of worship and righteousness which are not sincere. The word of the Lord removes dross. Judges and counselors can be restored. The mountain of the Lord will rise, come and learn His ways. The Lord gave the vineyard to the people to produce fruit, but those who get drunk instead and pay no attention to Him will be cast out. Man will be humbled, but the Lord will be exalted in judgement, and revealed as holy. The remnant who remain will be called holy, purged by the spirit of judgment and burning. Recognize the hand of the Lord when it strikes because of sin, but the tool He uses to bring correction should not become arrogant either. The Lord's attention will turn to him. The Promised One will be a great light and break the yoke, rule with justice, and there will be no end to His government. Give thanks to the Lord when His anger is turned from you. He is your strength and song and has become your salvation. The proud will die out. False strength will fade. When civil war, demoralization, cruel, and foolish leaders, famine, and economic troubles occur, turn to the Lord and cry out to Him. Pledge allegiance to Him. He will hear and send a Champion, a Savior, to heal and deliver. Don't trust in nations or the weapons of a king, or false gods and idols. The Lord clothes with authority for His righteous purposes, but the earth totters under heavy transgression and will be destroyed. The Lord will reign in Zion and Jerusalem. The judgments of the Lord bring righteousness to those who learn. Give ear and listen. He has wonderful plans-a lavish banquet. He will wipe away all tears and remove the reproach of His people. Open the gates so the righteous nation may enter. Distress comes to those who reject the Lord, refuse His instruction, and make their own plans and alliances. Who honor Him in word only, not in heart. The Lord is judge, lawgiver, and king. He is the stability of your times. When the Spirit is poured out from on High, justice and righteousness will dwell in the land. Never mind their threats, walk on the highway of holiness where they can't reach you. Spread their threatening letters before the Lord. He will deliver, and all will know He is God. What you do in this generation affects the next. He does not become weary. He gives strength to the weary. The Spirit of God placed upon His Servant is a light to the nations, a covenant of the people. Sing a new song from the ends of the earth. Praise Him in the coastlands, He's doing a new thing. There is no God besides Him. He has spoken and He'll bring it to pass. Return to Him, Israel, He's wiped out your transgressions and sins. Your way is not hidden from the Lord. Only the Lord is God. The idols of the nations are nothing. He is the first and last. There is no God besides Him. He has announced and declared and planned, and His purpose will be established. He has aroused Cyrus in righteousness. The word has gone from His mouth in righteousness and will not turn back. Every knee will bow to Him and every tongue swear allegiance. He speaks and declares ahead of time what is to come so people will know He is God. He tests in the furnace of affliction, but delays and restrains His wrath so His people are not cut off. The Promised One has learned the way of a disciple so He knows how to sustain the weary with a word. He has formed Him in the womb to be a servant. He's given Him the tongue and ear of a disciple so He knows how to sustain the weary with a word. He was obedient, sacrificed Himself. A law will go forth. He bore our griefs and sorrows, all of our iniquities. Zion and Jerusalem, you've drunken the cup of the Lord's anger, but never again. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. He has interceded and no weapon formed against you will prosper.

You will be established in righteousness. Listen carefully to Him. God's thoughts and ways are higher. They water the earth and make it bud, as does His spoken word. They return to Him having accomplished His intended purpose. He who takes refuge in the Lord will inherit the land and possess His holy mountain. He lives in a high and holy place, but also with the humble and contrite spirit. In the day of your fast, remove the yoke, the pointing finger, the wicked ways. Take care of the needy. Delight in His Sabbath. Watchmen, do not be silent. Those who remind the Lord--don't rest or let Him rest until He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

But sales soared at grocery stores and were up at other retailers deemed “essential” as well, offsetting some of the decline. “COVID-19 has hit the retail industry unevenly,” NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz said. “This is a market of haves and have-nots. The haves are the stores that remain open with lines out the doors to buy daily necessities while the have-nots are the stores that have closed and are taking the brunt of the impact of the pandemic. These numbers should come as no surprise given the mandated shutdown of our economy to slow the spread of the virus.” “March was a month that started out with many stores still open, but far more are closed now,” Kleinhenz said. “Don’t be surprised if the data going forward shows a worsening situation. Even if the economy begins to reopen in May, consumer behavior may take a long time to adjust. The road to recovery could be long and slow.” The U.S. Census Bureau said today that overall retail sales during March were down 8.7 percent seasonally adjusted from February and down 6.2 percent unadjusted year-over-year. The monthly drop is the largest ever recorded, exceeding a 4.3 percent decline in November 2008 during the Great Recession. The bureau said it believed the reliability of its data had not changed “substantially” despite the fact that many retailers whose businesses were closed were not in the office to reply to its monthly survey of sales results. But it acknowledged that retailers’ “ability to provide accurate, timely information to Census may be limited.” NRF’s calculation of retail sales – which excludes automobile dealers, gasoline stations and restaurants in order to focus on core retail – showed March was up 1.7 percent seasonally adjusted from February and up 4.5 percent unadjusted year-over-year. The difference between the Census Bureau and NRF numbers is because the categories NRF excludes saw some of the biggest hits. In addition to bars and restaurants being closed, gasoline sales were affected both by fewer people driving and lower gas prices while auto dealers were among those affected by stay-at-home orders. Biggest decline for clothing stores Clothing stores saw the biggest decline among categories counted by both NRF and the Census Bureau, with sales down 50

in the first two quarters. In the first half, the Tigers went 0-for-7 in third down conversions. LSU had never trailed at halftime this season and was only tied at the half with #2 Alabama 3-3. LSU’s only touchdown of the first half came on a 62-yard punt return by Tyrann Mathieu. This was the second punt return for a TD by a Georgia opponent this year (Ole Miss, 81 yards). Of LSU’s six scoring drives, only two on offense covered more than 26 yards, both in the second half (a 70-yard, 10-play drive in the third quarter; a 4-play, 93-yard drive in 1:51). LSU scored one TD on special teams and one on defense and a total of 21 points came off turnovers. LSU finished with 237 yards of total offense on 48 plays while the Dawgs ran 85 plays for 296 yards. Redshirt sophomore QB Aaron Murray (16-of-40 for 163 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) connected with senior TE Aron White for a 12-yard TD at the 0:42 mark in the first quarter to put Georgia up 10-0. This improved Murray’s school record mark to 33 touchdown passes in a season while White hauled in his fourth of the year. Freshman Malcolm Mitchell and junior Orson Charles led the way with 4 catches apiece. Freshman TB Ken Malcome had his first career reception (17 yards). Sophomore QB Hutson Mason finished the game, going 4-for-11, 55 yards. Malcome finished as the leading Dawg rusher with 37 yards on five carries. Senior PK Blair Walsh booted a 40-yard field goal at the 11:45 mark in the opening period to give the Dawgs a 3-0 edge. Walsh set an NCAA record with the connection giving him 44 games in his career with at least one field goal. Former Dawg Billy Bennett held the record with 43. Walsh is now 19-for-31 this season. Currently, he has 404 career points, second in SEC history to Bennett’s record 409. Walsh’s field goal was set up by Murray connected with Tavarres King for a 44-yard reception to the LSU 21-yard line. The Dawgs had their first successful onside kick since 2008 after the opening score. With Walsh also on the field, senior PK Brandon Bogotay popped the kickoff in air and sophomore ILB Alec Ogletree soared above the crowd to recover the kick. The Dawgs then missed a 45-yard field goal to end their possession. This marked the first time Georgia has recovered an onside kick since Jamie Lindley kicked off and CJ Byrd recovered the ball versus #8 Alabama in 2008. Murray fumbled on the Georgia 26-yard line early in the third quarter. LSU then scored a touchdown to make it 14-10. Midway through the third quarter, Murray threw an interception in LSU territory. The Tigers then drove down and scored a touchdown to make it 28-10 and added a pick six late in the fourth quarter. Opponents have scored 63 points off 22 Bulldog miscues. LSU came in leading the nation at +19 in turnovers; Georgia was +10. Sophomore Alec Olgetree had six tackles, including a sack, while OLB Cornelius Washington recorded three tackles, also including a sack. Sophomore DE Garrison Smith got his first start in place of injured senior DeAngelo Tyson. Injury Report: Junior ILB Mike Gilliard left the game in the second quarter with a right ankle injury and did not return. Junior TB Carlton Thomas injured his left knee in the third quarter and did not return. Georgia’s captains on Saturday were TE Orson Charles, LT Cordy Glenn, CB/KOR Brandon Boykin and OLB Jarvis Jones. Up next, the Dawgs will learn their bowl destination on Sunday. Dawgs Le

ad Good Works Team CNN Premieres “Gay In America” Tonight is the official launch of CNN’s “Gay in America” segments, starting with “Gary and Tony Have a Baby.” The project is part of CNN’s larger “In America” series hosted by Soledad O’Brien, a longtime supporter of NLGJA and our emphasis on fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues. A number of people have already seen the documentary, which premiers tonight, and as you can imagine there’s been a lot of discussion. Tom Shales of the Washington Post called the documentary “high-road television — meaning it’s been made as a gesture toward enlightenment and not to grab big ratings, which it probably won’t.” Unlike a lot of coverage of LGBT issues, CNN has been open about the fact that they aren’t trying to show “all sides of an issue” but instead are exploring the lives of one gay couple as they explore having a family. This approach is a step forward, but has not been without its detractors, even inside the LGBT community. Bil Browning at Bilerico Project criticized the portrayal of gay America pointing out that the subjects were white, affluent, and urban, thus playing into typical media portrayals of the LGBT community. Cathy Renna, who says she has worked with people involved in the project, defends the show but acknowledges the weakness of following a single couple. In addition to the documentary, CNN has a lot of additional content on the Gay in America site which provides even more context and suggests CNN has invested significant effort in starting this series. Ukraine - three days into a new chance to succeed. Proroshenko is not wasting any time as there is none to waste. He told Putin that as far s Yanukovych being the legitimate president of Ukraine that no one had asked Putin or any other Russian to interpret the Ukrainian constitution. And our Foreign Minister in response to Russian (Putin and Lavrov) continuous calls to "cease the violence in eastern Ukraine" suggested that they could blow that idea out the orifice of their choice and sent a protest note regarding Russian Border Service continually allowing heavily armed Russian terrorists to cross the Ukrainian border. Their response: We didn't see anybody. Proroshenko has also doubled down on the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO). Pro-Russian terrorists made the mistake of getting separated from their civilian shields by capturing the Donetsk Prokofiev International Airport (rebuilt for Euro 2012). The Ukrainian army blasted them out of there in a hurry, killing as many as 45, destroying an open truck load of terrorists on their way to reinforce their bandit brothers (Ukrainian version) or a closed truck with a Red Cross loaded with wounded on their way to the hospital (Russian version). The Ukrainian military also wiped out a terrorist training camp in Luhansk, just a few hundred meters from the Russian border and potentially covered by Russian anti-aircraft guns and missiles. Since the ATO has been as careful as possible about civilian deaths, the Kremlin backed terrorists are helping them, randomly shelling homes with mortar fire and randomly shooting civilians to create footage for Russian TV which can then be blamed on the fascist Ukrainian army. Russian propaganda may have to look for a new theme, at least outside of Russia. As the picture below illustrates, the Far Right did not do well in the Ukrainian election while in many European countries it took 20% to 25% of the popular vote for the European Union Parliament. The European Nationalist Parties are very scary people who solidly support Putin's Russia, where Right Wing Nationalists actually are the government. Timothy Snyder writes that Ukraine might be the solution to Europe's fascist problem. Britain's UKIP took 27%, I believe. Meanwhile back in the USSR...I mean Russia, they have banned a film about Stalin's deportation of the entire Chechen nation in 1944 on the grounds that it is "anti-Russian and a falsification of history". Meaning it tells the truth, I suppose. The West has put travel bans on a handful of Oligarchs but Putin has banned international travel for as many as 5 million Russians and the number may continue to increase. Ukraine's problems are not going away any time soon as "The Survey Says"... A recent

icogen, Inc., which started by burying a small seed called BI (Bioinformatics) in the ground, will grow into a company that communicates with customers through various communication channels and contributes to human health and happiness in organic relation with the bio industry. AI (Artificial Intelligence) drives Bioinformatics. Insilicogen contributes more than 60% on interpreting and saving bio-big-data yielded in South Korea. Continuous communication within a large amount of data moved our steps toward AI, which grounds data modeling, machine learning, deep learning. The advanced technology of Insilco made AI possible to find the cause and the solution of diseases, seek seeds of new function and develop personalized food. The future of Bio AI would be an unreachable virtual reality to the most of groups who don’t have sufficient experiences and understanding of utilizing collected, computed bio-big-data. For almost 20 years, we, 人Co, persistently stayed in one industry, which is Bioinformatics. By applying AI to Bioinformatics, we will introduce never-reached, enormous changes in the Insilco. With these changes and innovations, 人Co will contribute on the new value that BI is ultimately pursuing. As always, insillicogen will put people in the center of our business and keep moving forward for our dreams. Insilicogen CEO, Namwoo Choi. ADVANCED ANALYSIS OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL Point Distribution Height/Experience Misc. Team Stats FanMatch D-I Universe Game Rankings D-I Stats Trends Ref Ratings Home Court Ratings Arena Capacity Week in Review: 11/27 - 12/3 Ken Pomeroy | 12.04.15 Here are the most extreme things to happen in college basketball between Friday, November 27th and Thursday, December 3rd… Biggest upsets 3) Vacant. It was a light week for upsets as only two outcomes had a 10% or less chance of occurring. Part of this was the lighter schedule following the Thanksgiving tournament action. Part of it was a more conventional week than normal. 2) #294 Longwood 70, #104 Columbia 69 (10%), Saturday. To date, Longwood has one win over a D-I foe and this is it. The Lancers trailed by as many as 12 in the first half and didn’t lead until there were under three minutes to play. There were a few heroes for Longwood, but none more important than sophomore guard Kanayo Obi-Rapu who made four of his six 3-point attempts, including the one that gave Longwood its first lead. Columbia followed this up with a double-digit win at Bucknell. Longwood proceeded to lose its Big South opener by 24 to High Point. 1) #111 Northeastern 78, #10 Miami FL 77 (8%), Friday. Somehow, Northeastern has managed to lose to Miami of Ohio but beat Miami of Florida. Quincy Ford’s game-winner at the buzzer moved the Huskies into the top 100 and established the Huskies as a contender for the CAA regular-season. As for Jim Larrañaga’s Hurricanes, it was a stunning way to get knocked out of the unbeaten club. By the way, what’s going on with the tilde in Larrañaga’s name? Nobody seems to pronounce it and his son eschews it. Puzzling. Least likely comebacks 3) #249 Tulane 60, #75 Stephen F. Austin 59 (0.8%), Friday. What the week lacked in upsets, it made up for in crazy comebacks. We start with Tulane’s effort last Friday against Stephen F. Austin in a neutral-site game at Nashville. The Green Wave trailed 36-10 with 6:15 to go until halftime against a team whose coach had a career record of 63-10 coming into this one. An 18-5 run got the deficit to a manageable 13 at halftime, but the Jacks were still a 96% favorite after a Demet

If you are free to speculate about certain technologies never developing for lack of private investment, then Jason and I are equally free to speculate that the technologies that did result as a consequence of government intervention may not outweigh the technologies we've lost out on with the loss of those resources. Of course, you have a natural advantage: government did intervene, so you can point to concrete examples of technologies that developed out of NASA/weapons programs. Jason and I have a tougher assignment, in comparison: we can only meekly suggest that we are poorer for having traded the collective forces of the market for the firm controlled hand of government bureaucrats. The PR battle is firmly within your grasp. -- you are merely restating the argument. Nobody is disputing that certain technologies have benefited. Nobody would dispute that TANG benefited, or that Parker Space Pens benefited, or that foil emergency blanket manufacturers benefited. That's clear to anyone. What is not clear, what is being disputed, is that these technologies (and collectively, all the technologies that developed from NASA research) were more efficient uses of scarce resources than the private marketplace could have accomplished without government intervention (that is to say, economic coercion). Can you expound on the last point? There were already private companies willing to build the public interstate system and saw a significant enough return on investment that they would have done so without government spending? A) I will make a nuanced rejection of the idea that additional taxes would need to be levied to initiate R&D spending. B) That's an excellent question. I don't know the precise best answer to that, although I have some ideas. See my remarks to Mark below. That's my point. I was equating speculating about whether some technology would have been created later, but cheaper and better by private business with the speculation of whether the technology never got invented at all without government participation. I'm not really interested in either. Nobody is disputing that certain technologies have benefited. Nobody would dispute that TANG benefited, or that Parker Space Pens benefited, or that foil emergency blanket manufacturers benefited. That's clear to anyone. We could speculate what the Earth would look like had the dinosaurs not died out when they did, had Hitler never been born, etc. You guys have fun with that. I'm more interested in the fact that there have been lots of successful innovations that involve private-public partnerships (read the article originally linked for non-NASA examples) and see my earlier examples on current NASA private partnerships in the rover thread (like the CT scanning improvements that came from solar flare research). There will always be pitfalls, opportunities for wasteful spending, corruption in the process, etc. That doesn't mean perfect should be the enemy of good. The US Federal government has some unique advantages over a private corporation: they have a much longer term time horizon and their profit can be measured in non-GAAP ways. For example, the US interstate highway system would very likely have to have been setup as toll roads if the private sector was solely responsible for them in order for a corporation to see ROI. I do not find those compelling reasons to reject all government support of public use projects and research and development. So to throw a wrench into this equalateral triangle of meshed gears, without the space race, we might all be dead or subserviant to the Fins... where is this corporate investment if that's the case? There are plenty of toll highways around the world that were built by private money. (Albeit through a probably corrupt bidding

So to throw a wrench into this equalateral triangle of meshed gears, without the space race, we might all be dead or subserviant to the Fins... where is this corporate investment if that's the case? There are plenty of toll highways around the world that were built by private money. (Albeit through a probably corrupt bidding

process in gov't) GM in the 20's(?) in L.A. recognized that roads and cars were potentially superior to railways. If a 4-lane highway cost $15M per mile to build and a car uses it every second, the amortized cost after just 1 year is 5c per mile per car. That's cheaper than gassing up a Prius. The time horizons and costs are very doable by the private sector. Companies like 3M and IBM do a lot of pure research with unknown time horizons. A lot of discoveries that come out of that with no known applications end up in scientific papers for everyone to read. And how does concentrating decision-making power in the hands of a few fallible human beings yield better results? In most fields, knowledge is spread diffusely throughout society such that it is not possible for a small group of "wise" individuals to match that knowledge, be granted decision-making power, use that knowledge, and as a result of that power and finite knowledge they have, produce better results for society than if society were left alone.

Investing in technologies 10-20 years before their prime is the reason why our military is 10-20 years more advanced than the overwhelming majority of the remainder of the industrialized world. So, best to leave the scientific R&D and public infrastructure works to the largest, oldest and most established corporations that have amassed large enough resources that they can spend a small portion of it on projects with no probable ROI at the outset? Rather than supporting academic resources that worked together with the private sector, better to wait until someone like Archer-Daniels, Cargill or Monsanto comes along and can justify the spending? Aren't you the one always talking about how the second most prolific position for sociopaths is the executive suite of major corporations? In most cases, knowledge is spread diffusely throughout society such that it is not possible for a small group of "wise" individuals to match that knowledge, be granted decision-making power, use that knowledge, and as a result of that power and finite knowledge they have, produce better results for society than if society were left alone. This is a bit of a straw man. Many of the illustrated examples are not a few beauracrats sitting in a conference room deciding the final outcomes. There is a diffusion of knowledge. I almost feel silly for even asking, but did you even bother to read the article? ALL tech companies do R&D, not just the largest ones. Lots of research is done at universities with private donations. The small company I used to work for donated equipment to a nearby university lab where PhD students and professors did their research. The only thing the company got out of it was so graduating students would think of sending us their resume. Even large projects such as the Hadron collider could be funded by donations from the public and from corporations. It cost ~$20B to build. In just 2012 just ~200 corporations that responded to a corporate donation survey donated that much in cash and product. As for infrastructure, yes I agree, it's the proper role of gov't to build infrastructure where the free market competition wouldn't work well because free entry of new competitors is difficult (i.e. electrical distribution network, roads). I wrote about roads just as a counterpoint. But you can right away see that gov't doesn't care about cost/benefit to society (long timelines notwithstanding). Look at California's hi speed rail project - its cost estimate continues to grow, it will never be cheaper nor faster than flying, it won't be cheaper than improving the airports, the initial leg will go from nowhere to nowhere, yet it continues to be justified in Sacramento "just because". No cost/benefit comparison against alternatives. The reality is it's fueled by corruption - too many pigs have their mouths in the troughs already. Many of the illustrated examples are not a few beauracrats sitting in a conference room deciding the final outcomes. Public R&D spending implies that politicians and bureaucrats get to decide *where* to spend other people's R&D money is my beef - as opposed to VC's and investors doing same when *the

On the other hand, if $Ae \neq e$ then there is an $x\in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\langle x, A^{-1}e\rangle \neq \langle x,e \rangle$. Hence for equality to hold we necessarily have $\beta=0$. However with $\beta=0$ both sides are equal, and so the `if' part of item (ii) is proved. \end{proof} The `only if' part of the theorem follows from a more general result that classifies those functions that saturate the multilinear functional inequality $|E_A(f_1,\ldots,f_{2n})|\leq \|f_1\|_{L^2}\cdots \|f_{2n}\|_{L^2}$. Our classification result, given in Theorem \ref{thm:3:maxE} below, is not new. The multilinear functional inequality \eqref{eqn:3:boundonEA} is a specific example of a geometric Brascamp--Lieb inequality. The Brascamp--Lieb inequalities originated in \cite{Brascamp1976} as generalizations of the H\"{o}lder inequality.

There exists integers $m$ and $l$, with $0\leq m \leq l \leq n$, and two permutations $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ of the integers $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that \begin{align*} E_A&(f_1,\ldots,f_{2n}) = \\ & \prod_{k=1}^m \jap{f_{\sigma_1(k)}, f_{n+\sigma_2(k)} } \prod_{k={m+1}}^l \jap{f_{\sigma_1(k)}, \tilde{f}_{n+\sigma_2(k)} } E_B( f_{\sigma_1(l+1)},\ldots

f_{\sigma_1(n)}, f_{n+\sigma_2(l+1)},\ldots f_{n+\sigma_2(n)}), \end{align*} where the matrix $B:\mathbb{R}^{n-l} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n-l}$ has no permutation part; that is, for all $k$ and $j$, $Be_k \neq \pm e_j$. We then have $|E_A(f_1,\ldots,f_{2n})| = \|f_1\|_{L^2}\cdots \|f_{2n}\|_{L^2}$ if and only if the following three conditions hold. \begin{enumerate} \item For $k=1,\ldots,m$, $f_{\sigma_1(k)}(x) = C_k f_{n+\sigma_2(k)}(x)$, for some $C_k\in \mathbb{R}$. \item For $k=m+1,\ldots,l$, $f_{\sigma_1(k)}(x) = C_k f_{n+\sigma_2(k)}(-x)$, for some $C_k \in \mathbb{R}$. \item For $k=l+1,\ldots,n$, $f_{\sigma_1(k)}(x)$ and $f_{n+\sigma_2(k)}(x)$ are Gaussians. \end{enumerate} \end{thm} \begin{proof}[Proof of the `only if' statements in Theorem \ref{thm:3:maxH}, assuming Theorem \ref{thm:3:maxE}] Because $A$ is not a signed permutation, we must have $l<n$ in the notation of Theorem \ref{thm:3:maxE}. Then in, Theorem \ref{thm:3:maxE}, condition 3 applies. Hence to have the equality $H_A(f)=E_A(f,\ldots,f)=\| f \|_{L^2}^{2n}$, $f$ must necessarily be a Gaussian. \end{proof} \subsection{Regularity of stationary waves: a lemma} In this final part of our general study of the functional $E_A$, we prove a weight transfer lemma that is similar to formula \eqref{eqn:3:weighttrans}. This lemma will be crucial later to proving that stationary waves of the Hamiltonian systems \eqref{eqn:1:quinticHam} and \eqref{eqn:1:cubicHam} equation are analytic and exponentially decaying once they are in $L^2$. For fixed $\mu,\epsilon>0$, define, \[ G_{\mu, \epsilon}(x) = \exp\left( \frac{ \mu x^2 }{ 1 + \epsilon x^2} \right). \] \begin{lemma} \label{thm:3:weight} If $\{ f_k \}_{k=1}^{2n}$ are positive functions, then \[ E_A( f_1,\ldots, f_{2n-1}, f_{2n} {G_{\mu,\epsilon}} ) \leq E_A( f_1{G_{\mu,\epsilon}} ,\ldots, f_{2n-1}{G_{\mu,\epsilon}} , f_{2n} ). \] \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Define $F_{\mu,\epsilon} = \mu |x|/(1+\epsilon |x|)$. We clearly have $ {G_{\mu,\epsilon}}(x) = \exp({F_{\mu,\epsilon}}(x^2))$. We record two properties of ${F_{\mu,\epsilon}}$. First, for $x>0$, ${F_{\mu,\epsilon}}$ is increasing. This may be seen from, \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left( \mu \frac{x}{1+\epsilon x} \right) = \mu \frac{ 1(1+\epsilon x) - x (\epsilon) }{ (1+\epsilon x)^2 } = \mu \frac{ 1 }{ (1+\epsilon x)^2 } > 0. \] Next, we have ${F_{\mu,\epsilon}}(x_1

{subequations} where $z^\bullet$ is the unique solution of the equation \begin{equation}\label{} z\ln z - z + 1 = \frac{{\eta \left( {P_A^{\max}{h_{AS}} + P_R^{\max}{h_{RS}}} \right){h_{SA}}}}{{{N_0}}}. \end{equation} Based on the above analyses, we can obtain the following proposition in terms of the optimal solution to the original problem (P3.2): \begin{proposition}\label{prop:optimal_solution_3.1} The optimal solution to the problem (P3.2), denoted by $\left(E_A^*,E_R^*, \tau_1^*,\tau_2^*\right)$, is given by \begin{equation}\label{eq:optimal_solution_P3.2_E} E_X^* = \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \tau_1^\bullet P_X^{\max },\;{\rm{ if }}\;{\tau _1^\bullet} \le \mu, \\ {P_X^{\rm{avg}}},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;{\rm{if }}\;{\tau _1^\bullet} > \mu, \\ \end{array} \right.\;X \in \left\{ {A,R} \right\}, \end{equation} \begin{equation}\label{eq:optimal_solution_P3.2_tau} \tau _1^* = \left\{ \begin{array}{l} {\tau _1^\bullet},\;{\rm{ if }}\;{\tau _1^\bullet} \le \mu, \\ \mu ,\;\;\;{\rm{ if }}\;{\tau _1^\bullet} > \mu, \\ \end{array} \right.,\; \tau _2^* = 1 - \tau _1^*, \end{equation} where $\mu$ is defined in (\ref{eq:def_mu}). \end{proposition} \begin{proof} Firstly, it is easy to verify that if $\tau_1^\bullet \le \mu$, the optimal solution in (\ref{eq:optimal_solution_P3.2.1}) can also achieve the maximum of the problem (P3.2) without violating the conditions in (\ref{eq:inequality_condition_E_A_E_R}). For the case when $\tau_1^\bullet > \mu$, however, the optimal solution in (\ref{eq:optimal_solution_P3.2.1}) violates the conditions in (\ref{eq:inequality_condition_E_A_E_R}). In this case, the optimal $E_A$ and $E_R$ should satisfy that $E_X^* = P_X^{\rm{avg}},\; X\in{A,R}$ regardless the value of $\tau_1$. Moreover, it can be shown that the condition $\tau_1^* + \tau_2^* =1$ should be met by the optimal $\tau_1^*$ as well as $\tau_2^*$, and the objective function of problem (P3.2) is monotonically increasing with $\tau_2$. Thus, the value of $\tau_1$ should be as small as possible. Thus, $\tau_1^* = \frac{E_X^*}{P_X^{\max}} = \mu$ and $\tau_1^* = 1 - \tau_2^*$. This completes the proof. \end{proof} Then, we can find the optimal values of $P_A$ and $R_R$ for the original problem (P3.1) by performing $P_X^* = E_X^*/\tau_1^*$. \begin{remark} It is interesting to notice that the optimal $P_X^* = P_X^{\max}$ for any value of~$\tau_1^*$. In other words, the AP and relay in the E-C protocol should always transmit with the peak power regardless the value of the optimal time allocation. \end{remark} \subsection{Throughput Maximization for D-C Protocol} In D-C protocol, the relay power needs to be split into two fractions that are respectively used for DL energy transfer and UL information forwarding. Analogous to the previous subsection, we can formulate the following throughput maximization

eyenoord 0: Red Devils Romp Dutch side in Europa League By admin On Nov 25, 2016 377 0 Well like they say, its not over until the fat lady sings. Like the man said, Manchester United are not finished yet as far as the Europa League is concerned. Not by a long way. Not when the fire still burns deep within to do what they do best and confound their critics. On Friday morning, Wayne Rooney is out on his own as Manchester United’s record scorer in Europe. That goal No.39 came in a comfortable Europa League win over Feyenoord in front of a relatively modest Old Trafford crowd of 64,628, a dozen years after that memorable Champions League hat-trick against Fenerbahce, matters not one jot. Rooney deserves his place ahead of Ruud van Nistelrooy and a pretty impressive list of names that includes Ryan Giggs, Denis Law, Paul Scholes and Sir Bobby Charlton. Only Charlton’s all-time record for United remains to be conquered, and surely Rooney has two more goals in him to do it. His latest personal milestone was reached at the end of an eventful few weeks, even by Rooney’s standards. The 31-year-old is not the force of nature he once was, no-one would suggest otherwise. But his critics have had a field day. Dropped by club and country, Rooney has been booed on England duty and written off at United in some quarters. Questions have been asked if he could still do a job for Everton or even the LA Galaxy. Then there was the small matter of that 5am drinking session in England’s team hotel which led to Rooney accusing his detractors of a lack of respect and ‘trying to write my obituary’. ‘I’m not finished yet,’ he declared last weekend, and what a way this was to prove his point. Well, he deserves a celebration this time and won’t need a late night wedding invitation to justify raising a glass or two. In securing another personal accolade, it should not be forgotten that Rooney also helped save United’s bacon in the Europa League, scoring one and setting up the second for Juan Mata as Jose Mourinho’s team avoided the embarrassment of going out of Europe with one game in still remaining. Late goals from Brad Jones, the Feyenoord keeper who put into his own net, and Jesse Lingard crowned an encouraging night for United that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan answer his own critics with a fine performance. A point away to Group A underdogs Zorya Luhansk in Ukraine in a fortnight will now be enough to secure a place in the knockout stage. The landmark goal that took Rooney ahead of Van Nistelrooy arrived 10 minutes before half-time. The England captain started the move by keeping the ball in play on the left touchline and played it infield to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Rooney was rather fortunate that German referee Manuel Grafe and his assistants did not see a clear push on Renato Tapia that sent Feyenoord’s holding midfielder sprawling and created the space for Ibrahimovic to slip the ball back into his teammate. The finish was vintage Rooney, though. Cool and clinical. Nothing like the subdued character who had only scored on two other occasions this season. He waited for Jones to rush out of his goal before dinking the ball over him and into the net. Up to that point, United had dominated possession without finding a way past former Liverpool keeper Jones who tipped Paul Pogba’s rasping drive over the bar, turned away Michael Carrick’s low shot through a crowded penalty box and then thwarted Mkhitaryan at close-range. In fact, in what was the Dutch side who went closest to an opening goal in the 26th goal minute when Eljero Elia broke down the left and easily beat Phil Jones to slide in a low cross. Sergio Romero, deputising for David De Gea, blocked Rick Karsdorp’s shot from close-range and then produced a more unorthodox save to turn Dirk Kuyt’s follow-up effort around the post with the outside of his right leg. Rooney’s goal settled the nerves and Mata so nearly added to United

’s lead minutes after the restart with an exquisite chip from 20 yards which forced Jones to backpedal and tip it over the bar. The Spaniard then had a goal ruled out for offside but he didn’t have to wait much longer as Ibrahimovic played in Rooney in the 70th minute and his lovely reverse pass left Mata with an open goal. Jones produced a string of saves to keep the score down but was unfortunate to put one in his own net when Ibrahimovic’s low cross from the byeline deflected in off the inside of the Australian’s left foot. And although he got a hand to Lingard’s curling shot in added time, he could not prevent it creeping in at the near post as United celebrated their biggest win under Mourinho. Lingard had come on as a substitute for Mkhitaryan who deserved his share of the ovation from the United fans when he and Rooney were withdrawn eight minutes from the end. The Armenian was making his first start since a miserable debut in the Manchester derby in September, raising questions over the wisdom of signing him for £26million from Borussia Dortmund in the summer. Mkhitaryan has become something of a curiosity since then, but he visibly grew in confidence as the game wore on, giving Mourinho’s side pace and creativity on the left flank. The United boss will be hoping it represents a breakthrough moment for Mkhitaryan after emerging from so much scrutiny with great credit. Wayne Rooney could teach him a thing or two about that. So its upwards and forwards to the game against Westham at the weekend..will be tough, but United will be up for it. culled from Dailymail.co.uk FeyenoordManchester UnitedMOURINHOuefa cup M’CHENGLADBACH 1: MANCHESTER CITY 1 : CITY THROUGH TO R16 IN GERMANY WITH POINTS SHARED SAMUEL E’TOO IN DANGER OF FACING JAIL TIME OF 10 YEARS OVER TAX CRIMES Who is Invictus Obi and what is his link to the FBI recent crackdown of Fraudsters in… MIKEL AND IGHALO CALL TIME ON INTERNATIONAL CAREERS VIRAL ASSAULT VIDEO OF SENATOR ELISHA ABBO Subscribe to Ygm Enter your email address to subscribe to YGM updates Proudly Naija Dining Tidbits Mercadito, Naf Naf Grill, Eivissa, Fred’s at Barneys New York A rendering of Mercadito’s Chicago outpost “Tacos.

it undergoes secondary manual segregation. The unsegregated waste from the rest of the wards goes directly or through secondary collection to the compost plant at Vidyaranyapuram. Each of the nine ZWM units covers five to 10 wards. Each unit has a small composting unit and a resource recovery unit. The biodegradable waste is subjected to composting and within a period of 30-45 days it is converted into manure. The dry waste is handled by manual segregation and saleable material is sold to local recyclers. Inert materials (such as dirt, ash) are sent to the landfill at Vidyaranyapuram, which has been built by MCC and Jamshedpur Utilities Supply Company under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission on build-operate-transfer basis. Composting outsourced The 200-tonne capacity compost plant located near Vidyaranyapuram was established in 2001 under the Asian Development Bank. The plant’s operation and maintenance has been outsourced to IL&FS, a private company. It pays a lease rent and royalty of Rs 6 lakh/annum to MCC. According to Chandra Shekhara, plant operation manager, 150 metric tonnes of unsegregated (mixed) waste is received daily through door-to-door collection, of which 90 MT goes to the landfill and around 30 MT gets converted into compost. The compost is sold to fertiliser companies at Rs 3,200 per tonne. To reduce the smell, a barricade of about 8 m has been erected around the compost plant. PROBLEM: Inefficient waste management system ACHIEVEMENT: 100 per cent door-to-door collection of waste In 2008, Bobbili was as dirty as any other Indian city. Waste littered the streets of the town, garbage heaps were not cleared regularly and as a result the drains were frequently blocked, especially with polythene bags. Moreover, there were very few waste-transport vehicles. The problem kept aggravating until 2009, when K Prasad assumed office as the town’s new municipal commissioner. Awareness among citizens In 2008, Prasad started mobilising people for a cleaner town. He conducted regular awareness programmes for public that helped build an understanding for segregating wet and dry waste at every household and completely stopped incidences of careless littering. In April 2011, the municipality passed a resolution to ban the use of polythene bags. The municipality began door-to-door collection of waste from June 6, 2011. By the end of 2011, a significant population had started practising waste segregation at source. In early 2015, the municipality’s sanitation workforce had 14 permanent workers and 57 contractual labourers for cleaning the streets, drains and collecting waste door-to-door. The entire municipal area, with 30 wards, is divided into nine routes to be taken care of by different groups of sanitation workers and vehicles. The routes are decided on the basis of population density. The collected waste is taken to the lone transfer station where the segregated waste is sent to the Solid Waste Management (SWM) Park. The 3.4 ha park, started in June 2011, receives waste for treatment and disposal. Of the 14 MT of waste generated and collected in the town per day, around 3.6 MT is processed. The Bobbili municipality is also using livestock as a part of the solution. The park rears a few pigs which are fed the food-waste received from hotels. Similarly, chickens take care of little insects in the waste heaps and ducks eat the fish-food waste. The rest is dumped without any processing. The municipality does not charge waste collection fee from residents, but charges an annual fee from the 1,072 commercial establishments. This comes to around Rs 3.6 lakh per year. The municipality earns another Rs 7.26 lakh annually by selling recyclables like plastic bottles, paper glass bottles, and bio-compost. Waste management costs the municipality about Rs 77.61 lakh.

The 3.4 ha park, started in June 2011, receives waste for treatment and disposal. Of the 14 MT of waste generated and collected in the town per day, around 3.6 MT is processed. The Bobbili municipality is also using livestock as a part of the solution. The park rears a few pigs which are fed the food-waste received from hotels. Similarly, chickens take care of little insects in the waste heaps and ducks eat the fish-food waste. The rest is dumped without any processing. The municipality does not charge waste collection fee from residents, but charges an annual fee from the 1,072 commercial establishments. This comes to around Rs 3.6 lakh per year. The municipality earns another Rs 7.26 lakh annually by selling recyclables like plastic bottles, paper glass bottles, and bio-compost. Waste management costs the municipality about Rs 77.61 lakh. It ear

ns about Rs 2.6 crore annually from property tax, of which 30 per cent is spent on waste management. Shankara Rao, the commissioner of Bobbili, plans to revive the dying practice of waste segregation at source. He also wants to construct an engineered landfill site because, currently, the leftover waste is being dumped unscientifically. Interestingly, the municipality plans to adopt a village—it will take fresh cow-dung and kitchen-waste from the village residents and give them bio-gas as cooking fuel and compost in return. Bobbili deserves accolades for the 100 per cent collection of waste—a rare feat. PROBLEM: There was no concrete plan for solid waste management till 2010 ACHIEVEMENT: Efficient garbage collection system. Municipal councillors prepare the waste management plan and decide the number of trucks needed for collection Sanitation Point is one common sign on the steep and narrow slopes of Aizawl. These are the places where residents bring their waste and hand it over to sanitation workers every morning. Garbage collection vehicles negotiate the sharp turns each day to reach these sanitation points. Lalzuiliana, driver of a waste tipper, adeptly parks his vehicle at the sanitation point of Ward No 9. The chairperson of the ward, H S Lalthanliana along with other members of the elected local council, monitors the collection of waste. “It is the people’s power that keeps this city sparkling clean,” Lalzuiliana says. The city’s solid waste management is handled by 82 elected local councils in 19 wards. Local council members, along with the Aizawl Municipal Corporation (AMC), prepare rough estimate of the waste generated in the locality. They jointly decide numbers of trucks required for collection of the waste. The onus lies on residents to inform the council in case they are generating more waste than usual—for instance, in the case of a wedding or a construction/demolition work. “Accordingly, we work out a plan to hire a small vehicle or try to arrange a bigger truck for the next day to clear the waste,” Lalzuiliana says. In 2010, when AMC was constituted, it decided, in consultation with local bodies, on daily collection of waste. “It was decided that 90 per cent of the labour and transportation cost of waste collected from households would be borne by AMC and the remaining 10 per cent would be collected by local councils from households. Later, this government-to-public cost ratio was revised to 80:20,” says Vanlalsawma, executive officer of AMC. Around Rs 27 lakh is spent annually on waste collection from households, from a population of 0.29 million living in the urban areas. It includes a contribution of Rs 21 lakh from AMC. According to the Council’s estimates, Aizawl generates around 165 MT of waste daily. This includes 62.7 MT of biodegradable, 64.35 MT of recyclable and 37.95 MT of non-biodegradable waste. Around 15 medium-capacity trucks and 14 low-capacity vehicles make 2,200 trips per month for waste collection from households. Vanlalsawma accepts there is no concrete plan in place to treat the 165 MT of solid waste generated by the city. “We collect the waste and dump it at Tuirial, a dumping site 18 km from the city, where ragpickers segregate the waste and sell it,” he says. Dirty backyard The Tuirial waste dumping site is a horrifying sight. The entire dumpyard is put on fire to reduce the amount of dumped waste. Amidst the bellowing smoke, fire and unbearable stench, 28-year-old Luna is pulling out small and large pieces of iron, even shaving blades using magnets tied to a stick. “I collect only iron scrap and sell it directly to the main scrap dealer. It earns me around Rs 300-500 a day,” he says. Vanlalsawma points out that AMC is streamlining the entire solid waste management plan. “A detailed plan has been prepared for scientific dispos

The detailed information regarding the vacancy is mentioned below. A URANGAN mother held a knife at a man's neck and threatened to slit his throat during a house party in Gladstone, a court has heard. Jessica French, 40, pleaded guilty in Hervey Bay District Court on Monday to threatening violence. The court heard French was involved in an argument with another party goer at the Gladstone home on July 25 last year after she was pushed, causing her to hit her head. French then went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. It was there she and the man had words and an argument broke out. Crown prosecutor Matthew Hynes said sometime later, French grabbed another partygoer by the hair, pulling back his head and holding the knife to his throat. French then threatened to slit the man's throat. Mr Hynes said another person at the party was able to grab French and take the knife away from her. "It all happened rather quickly," he said. Defence barrister Paul Rutledge said French began to have serious problems with alcohol in her mid-30s after a relationship break-down and being diagnosed with cancer. He said the disease was so aggressive French had a double mastectomy and her gallbladder removed. "Essentially her life has fallen apart and she has gone to drink," he said. He said she worked as a cleaner and had been in her job since the beginning of the year. Mr Rutledge said French had reduced her drinking to a low level since November last year. Judge Helen Bowskill urged French to continue to turn her life around. "I would politely suggest that you become a non-drinker," she said. "It doesn't seem like something you can control." Ms Bowskill sentenced French to eight months prison with immediate parole release.

Indeed it does for those fully committed to the abortion industry. And who view life through a lens that does not value the sanctity of life. For those who value the right of conscience, in this case the right not to sell Plan B or abortion pills in their pharmacy, it cries out a very different message. US District Court Judge Ronald Leighton ruled against McKenna and the state---and the newspaper, back in February. On February 23, we wrote a blog quoting comments from the judge including, "McKenna argued for 11 days that the state did have the right to force the Stormans to sell the abortion pills because they had to "provide timely access to medicines for people who need them." That, of course, is Planned Parenthood's line. Judge Leighton didn't buy McKenna's argument and ruled, "No," the state's true goal was to suppress religious objection by druggists. Not to promote timely access. Now, McKenna and the state feel they will find a more favorable ear in the 9th US Court of Appeals. Please remember the Stormans family in your prayers. This is a very difficult and costly ordeal for a family who are simply trying to live by their deeply held religious convictions, in a state that seems to place less and less value on that freedom. This case also has significant constitutional implication on Washington State's new same-sex marriage law. And speaking of constitutionality, the Supreme Court began its hearing on Obamacare yesterday. First item from the Obama Administration was suggesting that the Court could not rule, based on an 1800's law, until the government had actually forced people to buy health insurance, which would push the Court ruling off a couple of years. I don't think that was particularly well received by the Court. Today, the focus of the hearing will be, "Is it constitutional for the government to require Americans to buy health insurance?" America stands at a crossroads. Unfortunately Yogi Berra's advice---"When you come to a fork in the road take it," isn't going to solve the major social and spiritual issues and their catastrophic consequences. However, I see too many people trying to act on Yoggi's advice under the guise that somehow Jesus didn't take stands on controversial and moral issues, but simply taught us to be accepting of all things.

Anonymous 11:08 PM, March 27, 2012 I think I will be voting for Mckenna . Compared to Inslee he is a blessing . I do not see McKenna as anti Christian , or for big government control . This issue hits at the core of not just conscience , but governemt intervention into our private lives . Its the same as saying homosexuals would have to sell books at their book store that portray them as evil and dangerous . Can I google your link to find some information that proves the point that Mckenna is against religious freedom ? Inslee is not the only other candidate. We have an opportunity to vote for a true American grateful to be in a free country or at least the hope of restoring it. Please check out Shahram Hadian, a good Christian with the courage to stand on principle, faithfully believes in the blessing of Jesus Christ and his gratitude for being in America is due to him knowing the difference having escaped Iran when he was 9 years old. He is a proponent of legal only immigration and a non compromising supporter of the constitution. Why would you vote for McKenna when we have an opportunity to vote for someone who truly meets the requirements we seek? It doesn't make sense. These are the primaries, surely you can vote your conscience in the primaries? There are other options. Inslee a man who I believe fully to be a communist and he has been my psuedo representative for years unfortunately, needs to be voted down. big time, but not by another who will compromise which

well and is easy to apply. Be sure to form the leaves and flowers into any shapes you want first as the spray becomes stiff when dry. When I looked for it on Amazon, I noticed Modge Podge makes one of these sprays too! What other methods do you use to preserve dried leaves and flowers? We’d love to hear from you and see pictures! Acrylic spray allows the leaves hold their color well. I would spray the the roses a few times after forming them, not before. It would be important to gather up your leaves and form the roses while the leaves are very flexible.. Thank you for the suggestion Rosemary!Is it similar to hairspray? coating in modge podge works as well. Do you immerse in mod podge or paint it on? Hi Bert, Heat the water to 150-180 degrees, then add the glycerin to it to bring the temperature down to 100 degrees. You can immerse entirely. I prefer the hairspray or modge podge method myself. Do you immerse the leaves before or after putting the leaves together? I treat my leaves after they are put together as roses. i have also dipped leaves in melted parafin and they last for quite some time. Great idea! I will have to add this to the post. Have you liked our Facebook page yet? I’d love to hear more of your tips on the page as well! Great idea to add glitter to the tips! I’d love to see a picture of it… share it on our Facebook page! I don’t them to change colors. I like the leaves being a yellow or reddish color. We see enough of em brown here in Texas as it is. Will just spraying them with acrylic spray after they are formed work just as well? My leaves hold their color pretty well through the season and some I get to use several years when I spray them with clear acrylic as soon as I get them home. So I think it would be key to form the flowers immediately and then spray quickly also. So you just pick one way. You don’t have to do the glycerin. Then hairspray and then modgepodge? Yes, that’s correct Elaine. You just pick your preference! I prefer hairspray because it’s the cheapest version but the modge podge is something I have on hand from puzzles. How well do they hold up to handling with the hairspray? What happens if you fold green leaves , will they still turn color? I don’t believe they will change color but they will die if you don’t preserve them. Thank you for posting the lovely flowers, Neat idea. Years ago, when we would collect leaves as kids, my Mother would iron them between two layers of waxed paper between two tea towels. Leaves stayed bright and flexible. Lasted for a long time. I remember this being done too! I had forgotten until you just mentioned! They do remain beautiful and vibrant. I wonder if it would work with the flowers… probably would crinkle the wax? Curious how to keep these from not getting so thick at the base of the flower? Am I maybe doing it wrong? If you start with smaller leaves, they won’t go the entire way around. Then use larger leaves to tuck it all together. That will help with the base size. Sure, what is the question? I have successfully preserved my leaves by placing them between two pieces of waxed paper, make sure the waxed side is inside. Cover with a piece of a brown paper bag or a tea towel/dish cloth. Then using your iron set on a med/high heat, run it back and forth across your leaves until the wax is transferred. Be sure to peel the paper off immediately or it will stick to your leaves as it cools. Lift your leaves by their stems and place on a clean surface and allow them to cool completely. Depending on what you intend to do with them will determine how long they will last. I like to scatter them around for an “Autumn” feel inside. I learned this when I was in Grade 7 from a Home Economics teacher. 45 years ago! Thank you for the great tip! I wonder, will this work with the fall leaf roses on our site? I want to make a magnolia wreath of preserved leaves. Can I add regular food coloring to glycerine mixture to preserve green color? I don’t have the answer for you Jane but if you try it,

So I think it would be key to form the flowers immediately and then spray quickly also. So you just pick one way. You don’t have to do the glycerin. Then hairspray and then modgepodge? Yes, that’s correct Elaine. You just pick your preference! I prefer hairspray because it’s the cheapest version but the modge podge is something I have on hand from puzzles. How well do they hold up to handling with the hairspray? What happens if you fold green leaves , will they still turn color? I don’t believe they will change color but they will die if you don’t preserve them. Thank you for posting the lovely flowers, Neat idea. Years ago, when we would collect leaves as kids, my Mother would iron them between two layers of waxed paper between two tea towels. Leaves stayed bright and flexible. Lasted for a long time. I remember this being done too! I had forgotten until you just mentioned! They do remain beautiful and vibrant. I wonder if it would work with the flowers… probably would crinkle the wax? Curious how to keep these from not getting so thick at the base of the flower? Am I maybe doing it wrong? If you start with smaller leaves, they won’t go the entire way around. Then use larger leaves to tuck it all together. That will help with the base size. Sure, what is the question? I have successfully preserved my leaves by placing them between two pieces of waxed paper, make sure the waxed side is inside. Cover with a piece of a brown paper bag or a tea towel/dish cloth. Then using your iron set on a med/high heat, run it back and forth across your leaves until the wax is transferred. Be sure to peel the paper off immediately or it will stick to your leaves as it cools. Lift your leaves by their stems and place on a clean surface and allow them to cool completely. Depending on what you intend to do with them will determine how long they will last. I like to scatter them around for an “Autumn” feel inside. I learned this when I was in Grade 7 from a Home Economics teacher. 45 years ago! Thank you for the great tip! I wonder, will this work with the fall leaf roses on our site? I want to make a magnolia wreath of preserved leaves. Can I add regular food coloring to glycerine mixture to preserve green color? I don’t have the answer for you Jane but if you try it,

let us know how it works! I have some leaves I cherish from a wonderful place I used to work. I put them between the pages of books so they are dry and have stayed there for many years. I want to preserve them and hang them in my home. I am wondering the best way since they are already dried and have been this way for years. I seems that some of the instructions are for fresh leaves picked and flattened and may still have some moisture in them. What is your suggested way for my leaves so they don’t break? I’m fine with them staying flat. I’m thinking wax paper, but want to get your advice. Thanks! Hi Joanne, Thank you for reaching out! While we aren’t experts, I feel wax paper is a good option. You might want to try Mod podge even but I would start on just one and see the results first. Hi Joanne, Thank you for reaching out! While we aren’t experts, I feel wax paper is a good option. You might want to try Mod podge (you can find it at Amazon: http://amzn.to/2FVjuA0) even but I would start on just one and see the results first. Hairspray question: do you spray stems and branches before or after they dry? I would try it. You have nothing to lose! I personally think either way will work.

Unusually, he has not one but two baptismal certificates, for 15 August 1875 (IOR/N/1/153/87) and 28 January 1883 (IOR/N/1/186/244). Pritchard was an amazingly talented sportsman. In his late teens he won the first of seven consecutive Bengal Province 100 yard sprint titles, as well as honing his skills on the football field where he scored at least one hat-trick. At the second Olympiad in Paris in 1900 he won not one but two silver medals, in the 200 metres and the 200 metre hurdles, and came a creditable fifth in the final of the 110 metre hurdles; in an age when leading athletes rarely take part in more than two events in any one Games, one can speculate that he would have performed even better had he not chosen to enter the 60 metre and 100 metre sprints too. 1908 Olympic Games Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News Images Online © The British Library Board Back in Calcutta he served for two years as the secretary of the Indian Football Association while still participating in athletics competitions – The Times of India of 10 October 1899 reports his travelling to Bombay to set a national record in the 120 yard hurdles, and on 28 February 1901 the same paper touched upon his unsuccessful attempt to beat his own quarter mile record, at a meet where Lady Curzon had been announced as presenting the prizes but failed to appear. He is listed in Thacker's Indian Directory as an assistant working for the firm Bird & Co. while living at 3 Lansdowne Road in Calcutta, but he must have become bored with this humdrum existence after his days of Olympic glory.

05, eventually finding his way to the United States. Here his career took an altogether different turn, for not only did he appear in a number of plays on Broadway, he later moved further west to feature in several silent films under the name Norman Trevor. He died in California in 1929. There remains to this day a degree of confusion as to whether he was competing for India or for Great Britain, but what is certain is that he was the first Indian-born athlete to win an Olympic medal. Hedley Sutton Asian and African Studies Reference Team Leader Arts and crafts, Journeys, Leisure Exercise to ease a troubled mind As the London 2012 Games draw to a close, many will have been inspired to take up a new sport or to become more active. The beneficial effects of exercise for both physical and mental well-being have long been recognised. Victorian psychiatric institutions such as Bethlem and Pembroke House used exercise as an integral part of treatment. Pembroke House in Hackney was a private establishment run by Dr George Rees until 1838, then by Dr William Williams and his son Walter, and finally by Dr Thomas Christie. Many of the patients were placed there by the East India Company. It was decided in 1818 to bring to England any Company servants certified insane while in India, as a hot climate was believed to hinder recovery. The arrangements were soon extended to cover wives and families. There were far more male patients at Pembroke House: in January 1862 there were 122 men and just 10 women. East India Register 1819 Pembroke House does appear to have operated a humane regime. In 1862 the Board of Commissioners in Lunacy asked for details of the arrangements made for the occupation, amusement and instruction of patients. Here is the return sent from Pembroke House: Outdoor occupations (21 males) • Gardeners, wood choppers, bricklayers, painters, window cleaners, messengers. Indoor occupations (77 males, 7 females) • Needlework, housework, general work, tailors, shoemakers, hair pickers, kitchen, carpenter, butler pantry, mangling, washing machine, baker, furniture rubbers, upholsterers, mattress maker, cap makers, brush makers, mat makers, knife cleaning, boot cleaning, study. Outdoor amusements (50-60 males) • Daily walk beyond the asylum grounds, riding, skittles. Indoor amusements (50-60 males, 5-6 females) • Billiards, bagatelle, reading, writing, chess, draughts, cards, stereoscopes, building bricks, drawing, music, public reading by special attendant, dancing. 110-115 males and 5-6 females attended evening meetings for recreation. The return to the Commissioners also listed the reading matter provided for the patients at Pembroke House: • Newspapers and magazines: The Times, Standard, Illustrated News, Punch, Leisure Hour, Once a Week, All the Year Round, Cornhill Magazine, Macmillan’s Magazine. • A variety of books, especially railway editions of novels. Although Rees claimed that 75% of his patients were restored to health, some did spend many years at Pembroke House. Andrew Bell Nesbit, a Lieutenant in the Bengal Army, was admitted to the asylum on 7 April 1833 and died there of heart disease on 9 May 1870 aged 72. Let’s hope that he was able to enjoy at least some of the recreations on offer during his long confinement. Margaret Makepeace Lead Curator, East India Company Records A.J.

paedophiles for years. Two of the ringleaders in this were Professor Kenneth Rawnsley (see post ‘The Discovery Of A Whole New Galaxy’) and Professor Sir William Asscher who, after spending many happy years concealing a paedophile gang in Wales, then took up the post of Dean of St George’s Hospital Medical School in London, where Asscher concealed another paedophile gang as well as research fraud and serious misconduct (see post ‘I Don’t Believe It!’). Asscher did of course continue with his earlier interest in concealing the crimes of Dafydd et al (see posts ‘Some Very Eminent Psychiatrists From London…’ and ‘The Paedophiles’ Friends Of Cardiff North’). Danny Abse was from a family of psychoanalysts and he and his brother Leo dabbled in analysis themselves. Psychoanalysts of Leo and Danny Abse’s generation concealed a great deal of sexual abuse. Leo Abse was the Labour MP for Pontypool, 1958-83 and Torfaen, 1983-87. Abse was a very good mate of George Thomas and could be relied upon to get George Thomas out of trouble when people who had been molested by Thomas made a fuss about it (see post ‘It Wasn’t On Our Radar’). Leo Abse paid some people to keep quiet and threatened to have others imprisoned. (Abse was a lawyer and a not very pleasant one, so a threat from him was quite effective.) It was Leo Abse who provided the cover story when in 1984 George Thomas was hospitalised as the result of contracting an STD. George Thomas and the Top Doctors really loved each other – Thomas was involved with raising funds for medical charities and in return no Top Doctor ever squealed. Kenneth Rawnsley’s wife, Dr Elinor Kapp – who was a child psychiatrist working in south Wales – was a Trustee of the City Hospice from its founding. The City Hospice was originally known as the George Thomas Hospice, but it changed its name when Thomas’s molesting activities became publicly known. Paul Murphy succeeded Leo Abse as Labour MP for Torfaen. Murphy had long been associated with Torfaen, he’d been a Torfaen Councillor for years whilst Abse was the MP for the constituency. The thing that I noticed which coincided with Alun Michael’s resignation as First Secretary was the submission of the Waterhouse Report to the Secretary of State for Wales, Paul Murphy. I’m fairly sure that as soon as it was handed over, Alun Michael was out of the door. Any expose of the truth behind – and the extent of – the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal would have sunk numerous politicians, from all parties, in both Westminster and the Assembly. It would have been well worth people putting their heads together and creating a distraction just as that Report was submitted. As one of the creatures said in Jungle Book, ‘You create a distraction, then I’ll rescue Mowgli’. So as Janice accused Andrew Davies and resigned the Whip, as Plaid made a fuss about the failure to secure Treasury matched-funding, Mowgli scuttled off back to Westminster to the arms of the man who has a great deal to lose if the truth ever does emerge re the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal, because his wife was mates with all the lawyers who kept it quiet by standing by in silence as witnesses and victims went to prison or died – a man called Tony Blair. Perhaps Delyth Evans could tell us exactly why Mowgli decided to get the hell out of the Welsh Gov’t in Feb 2000. Delyth did well out of it though – she didn’t even need to stand in a by-election to succeed Alun Michael as AM, because Delyth was the second name on Labour’s regional list of candidates for the seat of Mid & West Wales and under the Assembly’s election rules, no by-election is necessary for the regional seat, the next candidate is automatically appointed. Delyth won’t have just been in a position to dig up the dirt whilst she worked for Alun Michael, Delyth’s previous career was built upon having access to dirt and keeping schtum, which was why she will have ended up as Michael’s Spad and on the regional candidates list. Delyth was working

Paul Murphy succeeded Leo Abse as Labour MP for Torfaen. Murphy had long been associated with Torfaen, he’d been a Torfaen Councillor for years whilst Abse was the MP for the constituency. The thing that I noticed which coincided with Alun Michael’s resignation as First Secretary was the submission of the Waterhouse Report to the Secretary of State for Wales, Paul Murphy. I’m fairly sure that as soon as it was handed over, Alun Michael was out of the door. Any expose of the truth behind – and the extent of – the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal would have sunk numerous politicians, from all parties, in both Westminster and the Assembly. It would have been well worth people putting their heads together and creating a distraction just as that Report was submitted. As one of the creatures said in Jungle Book, ‘You create a distraction, then I’ll rescue Mowgli’. So as Janice accused Andrew Davies and resigned the Whip, as Plaid made a fuss about the failure to secure Treasury matched-funding, Mowgli scuttled off back to Westminster to the arms of the man who has a great deal to lose if the truth ever does emerge re the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal, because his wife was mates with all the lawyers who kept it quiet by standing by in silence as witnesses and victims went to prison or died – a man called Tony Blair. Perhaps Delyth Evans could tell us exactly why Mowgli decided to get the hell out of the Welsh Gov’t in Feb 2000. Delyth did well out of it though – she didn’t even need to stand in a by-election to succeed Alun Michael as AM, because Delyth was the second name on Labour’s regional list of candidates for the seat of Mid & West Wales and under the Assembly’s election rules, no by-election is necessary for the regional seat, the next candidate is automatically appointed. Delyth won’t have just been in a position to dig up the dirt whilst she worked for Alun Michael, Delyth’s previous career was built upon having access to dirt and keeping schtum, which was why she will have ended up as Michael’s Spad and on the regional candidates list. Delyth was working

for the Labour leader John Smith when he died in circumstances in which the Top Doctors at Barts found themselves unable to save his life. Now there’s a warning to everyone. Delyth went to Aberystwyth University when the place was run by the paedophiles’ friends (see post ‘A Bit More Paleontology’). Before going to Aber, Delyth went to Ysgol Gyfun Rhydfelen. Delyth was a pupil at Rhydfelen when the drama teacher John Owen taught there. The John Owen who molested his pupils for years and was protected by Mid-Glamorgan Education Authority and the WJEC (see post ‘Yet More Inglorious Bastards’). John Owen also wrote for children’s TV and the HTV Wales and S4C stayed loyal to him as well. He killed himself just before he was due to stand trial and Menna Richards paid her respects at his funeral – the Menna who for years was one of the most senior people employed at the BBC, Delyth’s former employer. Delyth joined the Labour Party in 1984, when the Windbag was busy concealing organised child abuse and the associated abuses in psychiatry (see posts ‘These Sharks Are Crap As Well’ and ‘I Warn You…’). The Windbag who was the President of the Students Union at Cardiff when Dafydd’s partner in crime Dr Tony Francis (Dr X) was a student at the Welsh National School of Medicine. After he graduated, Tony Francis worked in the Dept of Psychological Medicine at Cardiff. Of which the Head of Dept and Professor was Kenneth Rawnsley. Alun Michael’s Spad Julie Crowley was the Press Officer for the Labour Party, 1994 – 98, before she worked for Michael. Crowley worked for Michael, 1998-2000. After he resigned she was the Media Relations Officer for the ATL (Association of Teachers and Lecturers), 2000 – 01; Media Officer for the TUC, 2002; Head of External Relations and Political Liaison Officer, Britain in Europe, 2002-05; Spad to the Tory MP Ruth Kelly, 2005-08; Parliamentary Office Manager for Ruth Kelly, 2009-10; Events Organiser, David Miliband Campaign, 2010; Parliamentary Officer for the TUC, 2012; Communications Manager, Early Intervention Foundation, 2013. Rhodri’s book mentions that Alun Michael is a distant relation by marriage of Blair’s big buddy, paedophiles’ friend Lord Bruce Grocott (see post ‘The Most Dangerous Man In The World – Part I’). As well as relying upon the paedophiles’ umbrella that was Lawrence Conway, another person upon whom Rhodri’s ship depended was Kevin Brennan. Brennan was Rhodri’s case worker, researcher, campaign manager and then Spad. Brennan sat on Cardiff City Council, 1991-01 and served as Chair of the Finance Committee, Chair of the Economic Scrutiny Committee and Vice-Chair of Economic Development. Brennan stood down as Rhodri’s Spad to accept the nomination as the candidate for the Westminster constituency of Cardiff West, Rhodri’s old Westminster seat, after Rhodri stepped down to concentrate on his role as FM. Brennan was elected as the Labour MP for Cardiff West in 2001. Blair appointed him an Assistant Gov’t Whip in 2005 and in June 2007 Blair’s successor Gordon appointed Brennan as junior Minister for Children, Young People and Families in the new Department for Children, Schools and Families. Well who better for such a role than Kevin who kept quiet about so much organised child abuse whilst he spent all those years at Rhodri’s side? Brennan then held the position of Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office in Gordon’s Gov’t, 2008-09; then Minister of State for Further Education, Skills, Apprenticeships and Consumer Affairs with responsibilities in both the Department of Education and the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills. Following the 2012 General Election, Brennan continued this role in a Shadow

Mendenhall said several personal things have happened over the years that changed the dynamics of her business. At one point, she made the decision to run the shop solo, without employees. “I had two choices, shut down and get a job, or run the place myself, and I'm glad I chose the latter of the two,” she said. While having no employees has been doable for Mendenhall, she said that she feels proud that she was able to give a lot of people jobs over the years.

What were the controls on the experiment that differentiated it from the previous experiment/programs like Synanon. See, I'm missing something. How does a charlatan like Art Baker become privy to the experimental data and funding that is accessible to the military-scientific community? Art Baker had no prior scientific experience and had no prior military experience. The only way I can feasibly imagine that he got access to the funding was that he sold to the stringholders of the purse that his program worked, lifting directly the techniques used in Paradise House and mishmashing them a bit to come up with something that would appear experimental, but truly was nothing more than charlatanry - nothing different than what we see with attachment therapy. And if you sell it well enough to the stringholder, you can get a lot of fuzzy deals that ensure that the operation can work in secrecy. Dr. Davidson's Elan is a bit different. Ricci was a charlatan, but we don't know much about Dr. Davidson. Ummm... Maybe this is a minor point, but Art Barker *did* serve in World War II. How efficaciously is another story. I seem to remember that he might have gone AWOL at one point, but I may well be remembering the story incorrectly. If he *did* go AWOL at some point, however, there's the possibility that he may have been "thrown in the brig" for that, and if so, may have been exposed to the form of rehabilitative "group therapy" that the DOD was attempting to install and promulgate via its military prisons in the mid 1940s, namely Guided Group Interaction.

As organisers of a responsible event, the Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust (CTCTT) consciously plans around the social- and environmental impact of the Cape Town Cycle Tour. “The drought in the Western Cape has been front of mind during the planning, organization and implementation phases of this, the 40th Cycle Tour,” explains David Bellairs, Marketing, Media and Sponsorship Director of the CTCTT. “With regards to hydration, we will have sufficient water en route to cater for everyone. We will use it sparingly and purely for the purposes of hydration, ensuring maximum utilisation of all water resources deployed on the route in a responsible and efficient manner. We have also decreased our ice order and there will be a system in place to recycle all grey water at key refreshment stations.” Since its inception 40 years ago, the Cape Town Cycle Tour has been a community event. Bellairs continues: “Participants and supporters have always seen the Cycle Tour as a celebration of the incredible natural beauty of the Cape peninsula. We believe that they will come to the party this year and heed our call to act responsibly, just as they have in the past. We are therefore highlighting the critical water shortage in our city and the role our riders and supporters must play on Sunday, 12 March. “All entrants have been made aware of the water shortage and have been sent water-saving advice. There are also water-saving tips on our website, which is visited extensively by participants.” The Cape Town Cycle Tour Trust has also asked riders to consider using hydration packs filled with spring water instead of relying on the hydration stations.

an integral part of the event. We have requested that this year supporters be water-wise during their participation, and specifically that they refrain from hosing down the cyclists as they ride past.” Bellairs concludes: “Any further measures that can be taken leading up to the event and on event days will be investigated. Our priority is to ensure a safe ride for all participants and we will at no time compromise our commitment to achieving this outcome. Cape Town Cycle Tour brings hundreds-of-millions of rands into the Western Cape Province. It is also a charitable event relied on for fundraising purposes by a large number of community organisations. We can assure Capetonians that we are doing all we can to manage water consumption during the event.” Alan Winde, Western Cape Minister of Economic Opportunities, said : “Just as Capetonians always welcome cyclists from around the country and the world to this event, we are calling on them to continue passing on the message that we are in the midst of a severe drought and have limited water supply. We similarly call on all businesses to support this call and pass on this important message.” For more information on the 2017 Cape Town Cycle Tour, please visit http://expo.capetowncycletour.com/ or follow us on Facebook, twitter (@CTCycleTour) and on Instagram (@ctcycletour).

hugely successful story, consider Frodo in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. At the onset of the story, Frodo is a normal, happy, and well-to-do hobbit. Once the truth about the Ring is revealed, it’s all downhill, but Frodo doesn’t start off conflicted or struggling against inner demons. Then there’s Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby in the hugely successful British TV series, Midsomer Murders: Barnaby has a good family life, lives in a lovely village, and is in fine health and good spirits most of the time. Or Elizabeth Bennett in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice: other than the ordinary, everyday concerns of living with a neurotic mother, a few silly sisters, and a bookish, eccentric father, Elizabeth is a happy, carefree, normal young woman. Do we care any less for any of these because they’re not struggling to even stand under the burden of emotional baggage? Of course not. To conclude, the writer doesn’t have to follow the herd and pander to current cults in storytelling. One can craft powerful, resonant fiction without overloading every available slot in a character’s makeup. Like everything about your story, your characters’ backstory is a choice—your choice. Not being bound by ludicrous assumptions and conventions frees us up to tell our own story without imposing someone else’s tired template on our characters. What do you think? Do you find contemporary genre fiction and television predictable, formulaic, and ultimately tedious in its overuse of these devices? Tagged as fiction, writing June 1, 2019 · 9:00 am Writing Dreams, Writing Delusions About six months ago I joined a very large and well-established L.A. area writing group, with the idea of getting to know and spending some quality time with other local authors, as well as the possible side benefit that some networking would bring me more copyediting clients. Six months later, I haven’t been to a single one of their meetings, and will undoubtedly just let my membership expire at the end of its term. Conferences and events, heralded by a breathtaking daily barrage of spam emails, are frequent and not cheap. These emails trumpet “Your Chance to Meet and Pitch One of California’s Top Literary Agents!” as if this were (and should be!) every writer’s sole and desperate goal, the only thing standing between them and riches. And of course you can save big bucks by reserving a spot today. Seriously? This is 2019, not 1999. Get real, people. I know whereof I speak. I’ve had my own imprint since 2009; I have five of my own books out, and have had some notable success; I’ve helped several other authors get their first novels published. I’ve written on writing craft, and I guest blog for others. I’ve participated in and moderated conference panels for almost two decades; I’m occasionally asked to beta read work for some big name authors, and have interviewed many on this same blog. Above all, I pride myself on my approach of dealing with authors honestly, even if it makes me look like a deeply cynical contrarian, rather than trying to capitalize on their dreams. I may not be rich, but I can look at myself in the mirror every morning and see an honest man. So here’s the straight dope: a writer’s chances of landing an agent (especially a good one) today are so slim that they might as well as buy a lottery ticket. Oh, the odds may not be quite so bad, but I wouldn’t let a child of mine even think about making it their goal or dream. If, like Russian Roulette, getting picked up by a top agent carried a high risk of violent death (hmm, now there’s a story seed!), I’d tell them not to worry. Now, there are many agents and people in publishing who care deeply about trying to give newer authors a chance; but the likelihood of anyone who isn’t already a name getting a book deal is vanishingly slim, and the road to publication time-consuming, burdensome, and peppered with potholes. Ask yourself this: do you really want to spend years, possibly decades of your life facing rejection after bitter rejection as you struggle

These emails trumpet “Your Chance to Meet and Pitch One of California’s Top Literary Agents!” as if this were (and should be!) every writer’s sole and desperate goal, the only thing standing between them and riches. And of course you can save big bucks by reserving a spot today. Seriously? This is 2019, not 1999. Get real, people. I know whereof I speak. I’ve had my own imprint since 2009; I have five of my own books out, and have had some notable success; I’ve helped several other authors get their first novels published. I’ve written on writing craft, and I guest blog for others. I’ve participated in and moderated conference panels for almost two decades; I’m occasionally asked to beta read work for some big name authors, and have interviewed many on this same blog. Above all, I pride myself on my approach of dealing with authors honestly, even if it makes me look like a deeply cynical contrarian, rather than trying to capitalize on their dreams. I may not be rich, but I can look at myself in the mirror every morning and see an honest man. So here’s the straight dope: a writer’s chances of landing an agent (especially a good one) today are so slim that they might as well as buy a lottery ticket. Oh, the odds may not be quite so bad, but I wouldn’t let a child of mine even think about making it their goal or dream. If, like Russian Roulette, getting picked up by a top agent carried a high risk of violent death (hmm, now there’s a story seed!), I’d tell them not to worry. Now, there are many agents and people in publishing who care deeply about trying to give newer authors a chance; but the likelihood of anyone who isn’t already a name getting a book deal is vanishingly slim, and the road to publication time-consuming, burdensome, and peppered with potholes. Ask yourself this: do you really want to spend years, possibly decades of your life facing rejection after bitter rejection as you struggle

to shoehorn your work into the industry’s ever-increasingly restrictive formulas in the vanishing hope that an agent will pick you up and get you a publishing deal? And then what? If everything goes very, very well and you successfully run the gauntlet and deliver all the rewrites necessary to please everyone, including the publisher’s marketing people who think your ending may not quite please some readers, or that your brilliant magic realist subtheme makes it less easy to fit your novel into a clear category, you might eventually end up with a $5k advance for years of work, and face the very real likelihood that your novel won’t earn out its advance (because your publisher likely put zero muscle into marketing it), and a reduced likelihood of ever getting another book deal. Years of your life, and a mountain of soul-crushing disappointment. And yet fanning this very delusion has become an industry on the internet, with hundreds, possibly thousands of rah rah cheerleading blogs and a blizzard of stridently-titled books on Amazon promising to show you how to write a bestseller and get it published. There is, sadly, a great deal more money to be made by selling writers snake oil than by actually writing. It’s possible you don’t care about fame and riches, but simply see being traditionally published as validation of your writing ability and the strength of your work. That ship sailed long ago: today, even publishing industry insiders no longer see themselves as the arbiters of literary quality, the thin red line protecting readers from an ocean of awful dreck. All this said, wanting to become proficient at your craft and have your work read is a worthy and beautiful dream which I encourage every author to nurture and cherish; but getting there via the traditional trajectory of landing an agent and publishing deal — in my personal opinion — sails so close to the delusional that a visit to Vegas in the hope of returning rich seems like a great option. Nurturing a creative’s dream (hell, I’m a creative too), is a wonderful thing. Encouraging them is their delusions and making money off them by selling them snake oil is exploitative and predatory. And, honestly, if you want to be a writer, what you need is realism, toughness and tenacity, not fairy visions and stardust sprinkles. I could make far more money telling desperate writers what they want to hear, but I’d rather keep my self-respect, thank you. Should you want to be published? Hell yes! (Incidentally, I wrote a post many years back on why we want so badly to be published.) But today, more than ever, you should consider taking the indie route: I talk about this, and much else, in my craft book linked below. In both that volume and my work as a freelance copyeditor, my entire focus is on helping authors tell their story in a way that will please the reader rather than conform to the stifling and questionable requirements of an industry long past its expiration date. And as I delete the last few days’ hyperbolic emails from the big writer’s group, I feel good that even if I haven’t told you what you wanted to hear — that you’ll land that trad publishing deal and soar to stardom if you just pony up the cost a few weeks’ groceries for a chance to pitch that top agent — I’ve at least told you the truth as best I know it. The Fiction Writing Handbook* is a complete guide for the fiction writer who wants to develop an individual voice and understand the reasons underlying the so-called rules of writing. Although a few rules really are necessary, the vast majority are either dogma or passing fads. Worse, so much advice like “show don’t tell” and “open with action” is often poorly explained and entirely misunderstood, causing writers no end of problems. Similarly, the importance of both character and narrative voice, as well as tone, cannot be overstated. Drawing on twenty years of writing, critiquing, editing and mentoring experience, Dario Ciriello explodes writing myths, shreds conventional wisdom, and dissects the often misleading advice and diktats shouted at writers by books and blogs, agents and publishers. The Fiction Writing Handbook gives authors the necessary tools and insights to retake control of their story and make it unique. Other topics covered in The Fiction Writing Handbook include external and internal dialog, writers’ block, traditional vs. indie publishing, PoV

of art pulsates with the shift from nationalistic to international styles, from that which is specific to an ethnic or identity group, and that which seeks to transcends those limitations. In music, Bach imitated the national styles in his English and French suites and his Italian Concerto. The styles are distinct and identifiable. But the Galant and Classical styles that replaced it vary little from country to country. Perhaps the Italian is a little lighter and the German a little more complex, but you can’t get simpler or more direct than Mozart. Nationalism reasserted itself in the next century, so that you have whole schools of Czech music, French, Russian. In the early 20th Century, internationalism took charge once more and for a while, everybody was writing like Stravinsky. The main architectural style of the first half of this century is even called “The International Style.” That style is now so passé as to be the butt of jokes. The classical eras value rationality and clear thinking, while its mirror image values irrationality and chaos. You’re ahead of me if you have recognized that much of what I am calling Romanticism is playing out in the world and in current politics as a new Romantic age. Nationalism is reasserting its ugly head in Brexit, in Marine Le Pen, Vladimir Putin — and in Donald Trump and his followers. The mistrust or outright disbelief in science is a recasting of Rousseau. Stephen Colbert invented the term “truthiness,” and nothing could be a better litmus test of Romanticism: The individual should be the arbiter of truth; if it feels true, we line up and salute. In a classical age, the judgments of society are taken as a prime value. Certainly, there are those who resist, but by and large, the consensus view is adopted. The previous Romantic age had its Castle of Otranto and its Frankenstein. The current one has its Game of Thrones and its hobbits, and wizards and witches. The 19th Century looked to the Middle Ages with a nostalgia; the Postmodern 21st Century looks to a pre-civilized barbarian past (equally mythologized) with a vision for a post-apocalyptic future. (Right-wing nostalgia is for a pre-immigrant, pre-feminist, pre-integration utopia that never actually existed. The good old days — before penicillin.) This neo-barbarianism also shares with its 19th Century counterpart a glorification of violence, both criminal and battlefield — as the huge armies that contend in the Lord of the Rings films, to say nothing of the viciousness of Game of Thrones. As we enter a new Romantic age around the world, one of dissociation, confusion and realignment, we need to recognize the darker side of Romanticism and not merely its decorative accoutrements. We will have to accept some of those adages propounded in William Blake’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell: “Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.” And, “The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.” Is this not the Taliban? The Brexiteers? The Republican Party? And those elements in academia who want cover their ears and yell “nyah-nyah-nyah” when faced with anything outside their orthodoxy? Because it isn’t only on the right. The Noble Savage has come back to us as a new privileging of indigenous cultures over Western culture. The disparagement of European science, art, culture and philosophy as “hegemonic” and corrupt is just Rousseau coming back to bite us on the butt. (The West has plenty to answer for, but clitoridectomies are not routine in New Jersey. There is shame and blame found everywhere.) And the political right has discovered “natural immunity” and fear of pharmaceuticals, while still thinking it OK to run Clorox up the kiester. The last Age of Romanticism kicked off with the storming of the Bastille — a tactically meaningless act (only seven prisoners remained prison, four of them were forgers and another two were mentally ill) which inspired the French Revolution and all the bloodshed of Terror, but had enough symbolic significance to become the focus of France’s national holiday.

have our January 6, just as meaningless and perhaps just as symbolic. But perhaps that riot has more in common with a certain putsch in Munich. The first time America entered a Romantic age, in the 19th century, it elected Andrew Jackson, arguably the most divisive president (outside the Civil War) before Donald Trump, and certainly the most cock-sure of himself and the truthiness he felt in his gut. Facts be damned. For many of us, Trump feels like the reincarnation of Jackson, and this era feels like the reemergence of a Romantic temperament, and we may need to rethink just how warm and cuddly that truly is.

the beginning of the 20th century, that our discussion is very much in the here and now. CB: The 2014 biennial in New Orleans is about existentialism, exoticism, and other idiosyncratic ideas. FS: I would say that The Moviegoer provides inspiration as a sort of existentialist, discursive kind of text in which things happen very subtly and perhaps poetically, and that the surface of that book is in New Orleans, but again, it could be anywhere. And really, at its heart, it’s about people and how people see each other. So, for me, visually, that relates back to two artists. One is Paul Gauguin, and the other is Tarsila do Amaral, a Brazilian artist. There’s a conversation between those two that’s happening, and it has to do with how we choose to see each other. I think that comes out of a reading of the book, perhaps. With Gauguin, there is, I think, an interesting side where he’s trying to find himself in this sort of other, this exoticized other. And then, with Tarsila, she’s trying to define another, as in define what it is to be Brazilian in the 1920s. CB: Franklin talks about a 1928 manifesto that shaped Tarsila’s perspective and introduces some of the 21st century views in the biennial. FS: That relates very much to a manifesto called the Cannibalist Manifesto or Antropofagia, and this idea of eating the other in order to show one’s true self. She’s talking about the Brazilian identity around Africa and Europe, and it can’t be one without the other. They’re coming at these ideas about the other from two different viewpoints, from two different places in the world, from two different cultural experiences. I think there’s something interesting in that dialogue. Moving forward from there, there are several nodes of sustained thought or interest that artists will address. You have artists who are interested in crime and punishment, for instance, in a very universal way. Artists who are interested in the South. In fact, there is a smaller exhibition that is part of the general exhibition called Basquiat and the Bayou, which is very much about the American South, about the Mississippi River and the area around New Orleans. And then there are other ways of addressing that idea, and to think about the Caribbean, to think about South America, to think about Central America, to think about Latin America as a node, and not as the margin, but as a center. CB: The Lower Ninth Ward, a neighborhood devastated by Hurricane Katrina, was the focal point of Prospect.1 interventions. I know that Prospect.1 and Prospect.2, as well, had a relationship with different communities. Mark Bradford did a project within a community and Wangechi Mutu did the project in the house that was missing [had been swept away in the flood], and I’m wondering—how are the artists working in communities or within environments this time? FS: Well, in the past, those specifically were all in the Lower Ninth Ward, and we have something going on there, but it’s not by any means a central focus of this exhibition. The show will take place in most of the institutional venues, including the Contemporary Art Center, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Newcomb at Tulane, and then there are these other positions around the city that artists have been working on for quite some time as far as site-specific projects. CB: Franklin introduces several of the artists involved in neighborhood projects. FS: There are several of those at play. One is with the duo Los Jaichackers [Julio Cesar Morales and Eamon Ore-Girón]. Another is with the artist Theaster Gates. Another big one is with the artist Glenn Kaino. Mary Ellen Carroll has been working on one for a long time. And all of these are kind of spread out, and I think that they are part of the sort of surprises, the poetry. I don’t know exactly, in some cases, what we’re going to see. And one of the ideas behind that though that touches upon, I think, what you’re mentioning of the Lower Ninth Ward past experiences, is that there is a concern within this exhibition for leaving something in New Orleans and not just doing a biennial that comes and goes.

For instance, there are a couple of eph

emeral works that are going to change people’s lives, like literally, like entrepreneurial setups that will allow some people to become entrepreneurs long after the biennial is gone. Mary Ellen Carroll’s project is to provide Internet in a neighborhood that doesn’t have it, which is almost unheard of at this point in the game, in this country. CB: We talk about the challenges that come with the biennial model, among them sustainability. I’m thinking that globally, the biennial is a problematic platform. FS: Yeah, I don’t know. It’s the circumstance. Each one is specific to its circumstances. Support comes from different places in different ways. I think it’s a matter of being able to work from a standpoint that allows for the form to grow and to change and to be dynamic in the way that it relates to its host city. So we are tapping into the cultural life of New Orleans. Like, you can’t do a show there and not think about music and not think about food. I mean these are important aspects of it. And I believe that plays an important role in that those kinds of ties are important to sustainability. CB: Where does Prospect fit into the international conversation of biennials? FS: It’s a pretty amazing city in terms of its uniqueness, not unlike a Venice. It’s a city that has a lot of cultural activity. It has a lot to offer as a site of disruption in some ways or as a site of interest in terms of American history, in terms of American politics, in terms of right now, and so it has something to offer to a conversation that is not only about contemporary art. It’s built into the city and has been situated, at least in the prior exhibitions, as an international biennial that came about in the wake of Katrina, but with an eye on Venice, an eye on Documenta. So that is the foundation that Dan [Cameron] set that I’ve tried to use as a platform. I think it can be a really viable voice. CB: Finally, I’d really love to know what you hope to leave behind as your own curatorial statement, so to speak. FS: Just one good show that people want to see and that makes people experience that city more. And I think that, with the mix of artists that we’re working with, people will be really curious about coming to see the exhibition. And that the platform provided is one that honors the city in which it takes place while also opening up a dialogue or a conversation with everywhere else. So I hope that’s what people are left with.

does it look like when an infant has a seizure? Can drug-induced seizures cause brain damage? How do you treat seizures in infants? What is the pathophysiology of drug‐induced seizures? Which drugs cause drug-induced seizures? What are the drug-induced seizures and how are they treated? We identified 142 pediatric drug-induced seizure cases (56% male), which represent nearly 5% of pediatric cases requiring bedside consultation by medical toxicologists. One-hundred and seven cases (75%) occurred in children aged 13-18 years, and 86 (61%) resulted from intentional ingestions. What to know about seizures in babies. Baby seizures happen when an abnormal extra burst of electrical activity occurs between neurons, or brain cells, in a baby’s brain. These can happen for many reasons. Causes may include brain injury, infection, and underlying health conditions, such as cerebral palsy. What is a drug-induced seizure? Drug-induced seizures are adverse reactions caused by several drugs, and there are no clinical features to differentiate them from idiopathic epileptic seizures. The term includes seizures associated with antiepileptic drugs. A The most common cause of seizures in newborn infants is brain damage from illness or injury, such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) (5). Amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin have all been shown to increase the frequency of seizures in people with epilepsy. The use of cannabis is also best avoided. For some people, using recreational drugs can trigger epilepsy. They can also be a risk factor for SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). Can certain drugs cause seizures? Drugs That Can Cause Seizures Amphetamines. Methamphetamine. MDMA. Opioids. What are the symptoms of a seizure in a child? Staring. Jerking movements of the arms and legs. Stiffening of the body. Loss of consciousness. Breathing problems or stopping breathing. Loss of bowel or bladder control. Falling suddenly for no apparent reason, especially when associated with loss of consciousness. Subtle seizures are more common among full-term babies. Symptoms of subtle seizures include: Random or roving eye movements, eyelid blinking or fluttering, eyes rolling up, eye opening, staring. Sucking, smacking, chewing and protruding tongue. How common are drug-induced seizures? Seizures are a common toxic complication of numerous drugs and poisons, as well as drug withdrawal syndromes. Studies have estimated that 6% of new‐onset seizures and up to 9% of status epilepticus cases are due to drug toxicity 1, 2. Seizures are a serious complication associated with medication or drug use, which can result in hyperthermia, acidosis, anoxic brain injury, an eightfold risk of aspiration pneumonitis, and nearly 2% mortality [3, 4]. What to Do if Your Child Has a Seizure: Gently place your child on the floor or ground, and remove any nearby objects. Lay your child on his or her side to prevent choking on saliva (spit). If your child vomits, clear out the mouth gently with your finger. Loosen any clothing around the head or neck. What do seizures look like in infants? More pronounced signs may include the baby’s arms coming up with a slight head nod and their eyes rolling up. While this type of movement may look like the baby is just startled, spasms may occur for five to ten seconds in a cluster for several minutes when the baby first wakes up or is going to sleep. Drug‐induced seizures can occur as a direct result of altering neural pathways and specific excitatory or inhibitory transmitters and receptors within those pathways. Figure 1offers a simplified representation of these processes. Patients exposed to a stimulant were found

For some people, using recreational drugs can trigger epilepsy. They can also be a risk factor for SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). Can certain drugs cause seizures? Drugs That Can Cause Seizures Amphetamines. Methamphetamine. MDMA. Opioids. What are the symptoms of a seizure in a child? Staring. Jerking movements of the arms and legs. Stiffening of the body. Loss of consciousness. Breathing problems or stopping breathing. Loss of bowel or bladder control. Falling suddenly for no apparent reason, especially when associated with loss of consciousness. Subtle seizures are more common among full-term babies. Symptoms of subtle seizures include: Random or roving eye movements, eyelid blinking or fluttering, eyes rolling up, eye opening, staring. Sucking, smacking, chewing and protruding tongue. How common are drug-induced seizures? Seizures are a common toxic complication of numerous drugs and poisons, as well as drug withdrawal syndromes. Studies have estimated that 6% of new‐onset seizures and up to 9% of status epilepticus cases are due to drug toxicity 1, 2. Seizures are a serious complication associated with medication or drug use, which can result in hyperthermia, acidosis, anoxic brain injury, an eightfold risk of aspiration pneumonitis, and nearly 2% mortality [3, 4]. What to Do if Your Child Has a Seizure: Gently place your child on the floor or ground, and remove any nearby objects. Lay your child on his or her side to prevent choking on saliva (spit). If your child vomits, clear out the mouth gently with your finger. Loosen any clothing around the head or neck. What do seizures look like in infants? More pronounced signs may include the baby’s arms coming up with a slight head nod and their eyes rolling up. While this type of movement may look like the baby is just startled, spasms may occur for five to ten seconds in a cluster for several minutes when the baby first wakes up or is going to sleep. Drug‐induced seizures can occur as a direct result of altering neural pathways and specific excitatory or inhibitory transmitters and receptors within those pathways. Figure 1offers a simplified representation of these processes. Patients exposed to a stimulant were found

to be at a statistically significant increased risk of death. 8 Further, it had emerged that poison control centers were being consulted regarding three agents commonly causing drug-induced seizures: bupropion, tramadol, and venlafaxine. 8 What is the first‐line treatment for drug‐induced seizures? Benzodiazepines are the first‐line treatment for drug‐induced seizures, with addition of pyridoxine if isoniazid or other hydrazine toxicity is suspected. If benzodiazepines fail to terminate seizures, second‐line agents include barbiturates and propofol. • Use of drugs known to cause seizures should be avoided in patients with predisposition to seizures. • Most drug-induced seizures resolve after discontinuation of the offending drugs, but some patients require supplementary treatment, eg, intravenous diazepam.

Home > Entertainment > Celebrity > Sports > Summer Olympic Games Horse Enthusiasts Claim Dressage Is Either the Best or Worst Sport in the World By Mustafa Gatollari Jul. 29 2021, Published 5:53 p.m. ET As viewers huddle around to take in the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, many have been eager to catch the equestrian sports. And some horse lovers are curious as to whether the sport dressage hurts the horses that participate in the artistic event. Read on while we give you all the answers! Does dressage hurt the horses involved? It depends on who you ask. According to Horse Racing Sense, there is a litany of reasons as to why dressage is bad for horses. Chief among them is one training technique called Rollkur, which is the "practice of hyperflexion of the horse's neck" that causes difficulty in breathing for the animals "by obstructing the respiratory system and not allowing the air to pass through it." The outlet also writes that hyperflexion can put a lot of stress and anxiety on horses, as it impairs both their breathing and vision. "Thus," per Horse Racing Sense, this Rollkur hyperflexion technique "damages the horse both physically as well as mentally and is the cruelest form of dressage training." My #1 Olympic highlight is from today's Team Dressage. #Olympics pic.twitter.com/uUjEGHXWRw — Spa Infield Goose (@SaratogaGoose) July 27, 2021 The outlet goes on to list a bunch of different long-term injuries and illnesses – including PSD (Proximal Suspensory Desmitis), DIPJ (Distal Interphalangeal Joint problems), and thoracolumbar and sacroiliac pain – that can come as a result of horse dressage and leave horses feeling "anxious and inefficient." But there are some who state that dressage, when done properly, does not harm horses. A Quora post uploaded by Linda Braddy – a professional horse riding instructor with 30 years of experience in training the animals – states that dressage, when performed in the correct manner, can actually help to extend a horse's life. I wonder if there's a Dressage Twitter like there's a Football Twitter, lads called things like PiaffeLikeValegro saying the horses are frauds and the riders are pirouette merchants. — Jonny Sharples (@JonnyGabriel) July 27, 2021 "In general, it shouldn’t be painful for a horse to do dressage, or any other form of riding or driving discipline," Linda writes. "Dressage is a discipline in which the horse is carefully trained over a considerable period of time (years) for increasingly strenuous and controlled movements. However, none of the movements are foreign to horses. Left on their own to play in a field they might be expected to display many of the same movements, eventually. The difference is that with dressage (or other training), we can request a specific movement at a specific time, and repeat it more often than the horse might be inclined to ... on its own." "Unlike many other disciplines," the equine professional continues, "dressage requires

a little more. That may sound harsh but up against the display that Michelle Rodriguez put on as the Taco-selling reisistance-running Luz, Alba's law enforcement character was weak by comparison. Her lines were delivered mostly flat and without emotion, whereas I easily believed Luz had been fighting this war for years. I can let it slide however, as many grindhouse movies of old had far, far worse acting on show than Alba. Cheech is brilliant as Padre - I wish all priests were like him - he is a definite highlight. Seagal proves he still has it and also that he can play an over-the-top bad guy, something he hasn't done before (It's great to see him on the big screen again just like Dolph, too). Fahey, De Niro and Don Johnson as the vigilante redneck are all great, and even the Lohan factor couldn't keep the movie down. Despite her negative publicity she's a fine actress. In fact she should play Killer Nun's more often. Danny Trejo IS Machete. This could be his typecast for the next twenty years. There is absolutely nobody else that could pull off this role so well. Trejo does some of his best acting with just the cracks and lines in his face. He delivers some cool lines that are bound to become catch phrases and as was said in the fake trailer "He kills the bad guys. He gets the women". Boy, does he ever. I was amazed that all the main parts of the fake trailer were used, verbatim, in the final picture. Some isolated scenes would have been easy to include, like Machete sharpening his blade on a stone wheel, but Rodriguez went to the effort of making up Lindsay Lohan to look like the blonde from the skinny-dipping scene in the fake trailer and filming more of it. And of course we still get the awesome scene with Cheech ("God forgives. I don't!") and the finale of the fake trailer Machete on his motorbike with mounted minigun. The inclusion of all these scenes is very important as it shows that Rodriguez both respects his fan base and also stays true to his original ideals for Machete. There have been some nay-sayers about the strong political agenda Machete raises. I have to plead ignorance on this. I know very little about Mexico and so-called illegals in America; it's not something that really gets reported on in Australian news. I only know what I've seen in this and other TV shows and movies - obviously not trustworthy sources of information - that all Mexicans are lazy drug dealers and/or working as maids in hotels filled with white people. That would be like saying all Australians own pet kangaroos and live on a diet of beer (well.. that last part is quite accurate). So I see this as I would any other action movie; a required plot to get us from explosion A to explosion B. And on that front it excels. I didn't take my eyes off the screen for a second. The Senator's campaign videos were a hoot too. Honestly they are very different movies, but if the choice were between The Expendables and Machete I would have to give my final vote to Machete. It's non-stop action, it's hyper-violent, there's plenty of boobs and tonnes of laughs. The Expendables was a great homage to 80's action. Machete is pure grindhouse. posted Monday, November 22, 2010 7 comments Actors: Danny Trejo, Jeff Fahey, Steven Seagal, Tom Savini HNBP how now brownpau The Lunar Rover and Eduardo San Juan: Update from an LRV Designer 2007-05-17 .

Early last month I received a response from one Bruno A. Nikodemski, who says he was an electronics designer with GM on the lunar rover project: I just ran across your article on the Eduardo San Juan myth that he designed the Lunar Rover. It is indeed a myth.

I am one of the original electronics designers of the actual LRV, primarily in the area of the motor-drive electronics, for the four-wheel electric drive system. My supervisors and managers, Bruce Velasco, Ferenc (Frank) Pavlics, and Sam Romano are still alive, and can readily contribute to the actual history of the LRV development. We just had a large reunion in Santa Barbara, for many of the Apollo and LRV and Titan participants, and there will soon be another reunion in Milwaukee. The actual designer of the LRV concept was a previous land mobility traction expert, named Dr. M.G. Bekker. Bekker worked for the US Army, after he escaped from Hungary, following the 1950s revolutions. Bekker had previously published all sorts of papers on land and extraterrestrial mobility and traction, and his name is immortalized as a name for some of the basic test methods, which he invented. Pavlics was one of his protegés, and also later came over to the USA. These two person were eventually hired by General Motors, and worked at our facility in Goleta, California. In the post 50s intervals, Army labs did all sorts of work in land and exotic mobility systems, and our GM site had its own “lunar surface” test track, and several rolling stations which replicated the desired dirt characteristics. Prior to going over to GM, Bekker published several books on land mobility, one under the auspices of the University of Michigan, which became a classic in the field. In this and other books, and several other papers, he expounded on several exotic mobility systems, including “floaters”, “screw-drives”, various articulated systems, and many extraterrestrial applications. Articulated vehicles were a very big thing back then, since they had better mobility than conventional vehicles. The subsequent NASA work in the late-50s through late-60s was mostly patterned on the MOLAB-like vehicles of that developmental era. Eduardo San Juan undoubtedly had exposure to this developmental material during his stint at NASA, but Bekker had published this kind of material at least a decade before, if not earlier. Our General Motors Defense Research Labs subsequent success in being awarded the real Lunar Rover development, with Boeing as the primary builder of the chassis and seat-pan section, and Garrett the steering, was entirely based on the previous knowledge and skill of Bekker and Pavlics. The airless-wheel, for example, had been developed and tested long before Eduardo San Juan had any entry into the NASA programs. The double-Ackerman steering, with its attendant in-wheel motors was completely unknown to San Juan, and the method by which it works to provide enhanced traction will not be known by him, since it is still a trade secret among the cognizant designers. The wheels share power under a special scheme, which is designed into the motor drive electronics. As such, the wheels work in unison, and if one loses traction, the others will compensate. There are many such design details which can be inspected and used to debunk his story. The QTU, one flight vehicle, and the 1G Trainers vehicles are still available, and all run if powered by the appropriate power sources. They can be used to verify any of our details. If you need any more history about the actual design details of the Lunar Rover, please contact me back. I still have facsimiles of many of the original electronics diagrams, and much other collateral information. NASA doesn’t try to stifle many of these historical myths, since the myths often provide more publicity than the actual truth. My younger son is presently doing a school project about how NASA “faked the moon landings.” This effort will serve to get more kids interested in NASA, more than anything that NASA itself is doing around here. – Bruno A. Nikodemski There you have it, from a rover designer himself, who worked directly on LRV systems which Eduardo San Juan claims to have created. This, combined with the various factual errors propagated in re-tellings of San Juan’s lunar rover story, should be another nail in the coffin of the Eduardo San Juan myth. Of course, I have no way of confirming Bruno’s story without a response from the MSFC History Office or a trip to Milwaukee

Home A Brief Assessment of China’s 3rd Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference - May 2020 A Brief Assessment of China’s 3rd Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference - May 2020 Jayadeva Ranade June 23 , 2020 Views: 2593 Comments: 0 As usual China’s top political advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), held its annual plenary session in Beijing along with the National People’s Congress (NPC). The plenum was delayed this year and held two months later from May 21 to May 27, 2020, because of the Coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic cast a shadow over the plenary meetings, which were shortened to a week instead of the usual ten days and restrictions curtailed the number of press conferences and correspondents allowed to attend. For the first time, provision for video conferencing was made for those not physically attending the CPPCC and NPC Plenums. Han Fangming, Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, said prior to start of the sessions, that "Due to the COVID-19 epidemic and the shortened session, the accommodation and meeting venues for CPPCC members and NPC delegates are simpler, stricter and more efficient." Hotels and meeting rooms for the sessions accordingly provided reduced services with fewer newspapers and no banners, red carpets, flowers, bars or cafes. CPPCC members and NPC delegates were asked to bring their own pens or notepads and at the venue they were provided only a single bottle of water, a teacup, and a pack of antiseptic wipes. Full-page reminders on how to avoid catching or block spreading the virus were handed out to each invitee. ‘Social distancing’ was enforced and attendees were encouraged not to shake hands, congregate outside the meeting rooms or linger in confined places, as well as not to leave their hotels or the convention areas without permission from the organizers. To burnish the credibility of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which was dented by unprecedented public criticism particularly during the Coronavirus pandemic, the state-owned CCTV on the eve of the ‘Big Two’ sessions reported (May 21), that CCP members had donated 8.36 billion RMB (US$ 1.18 billion) for the fight against the coronavirus in the past three months. It said all the money was sent to the ‘Party Central’ for redistribution. Chinese President Xi Jinping also sought to further tighten his grip over the Party and PLA and shore his position, with the sudden announcement on May 21

Home A Brief Assessment of China’s 3rd Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference - May 2020 A Brief Assessment of China’s 3rd Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference - May 2020 Jayadeva Ranade June 23 , 2020 Views: 2593 Comments: 0 As usual China’s top political advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), held its annual plenary session in Beijing along with the National People’s Congress (NPC). The plenum was delayed this year and held two months later from May 21 to May 27, 2020, because of the Coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic cast a shadow over the plenary meetings, which were shortened to a week instead of the usual ten days and restrictions curtailed the number of press conferences and correspondents allowed to attend. For the first time, provision for video conferencing was made for those not physically attending the CPPCC and NPC Plenums. Han Fangming, Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, said prior to start of the sessions, that "Due to the COVID-19 epidemic and the shortened session, the accommodation and meeting venues for CPPCC members and NPC delegates are simpler, stricter and more efficient." Hotels and meeting rooms for the sessions accordingly provided reduced services with fewer newspapers and no banners, red carpets, flowers, bars or cafes. CPPCC members and NPC delegates were asked to bring their own pens or notepads and at the venue they were provided only a single bottle of water, a teacup, and a pack of antiseptic wipes. Full-page reminders on how to avoid catching or block spreading the virus were handed out to each invitee. ‘Social distancing’ was enforced and attendees were encouraged not to shake hands, congregate outside the meeting rooms or linger in confined places, as well as not to leave their hotels or the convention areas without permission from the organizers. To burnish the credibility of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which was dented by unprecedented public criticism particularly during the Coronavirus pandemic, the state-owned CCTV on the eve of the ‘Big Two’ sessions reported (May 21), that CCP members had donated 8.36 billion RMB (US$ 1.18 billion) for the fight against the coronavirus in the past three months. It said all the money was sent to the ‘Party Central’ for redistribution. Chinese President Xi Jinping also sought to further tighten his grip over the Party and PLA and shore his position, with the sudden announcement on May 21

that seventeen Deputies to the NPC had been asked to resign. Four of them were senior PLA officers with a Lt. General and one Major General having outstanding records. Some developments timed to coincide with the opening of the ‘Big Two’ on May 21, did, however, occur to embarrass China’s leadership. At least three critics of Chinese President Xi Jinping and the CCP succeeded in publicising their criticisms. These included: Shanghai-based Chinese Constitutional lawyer43-year old Zhang Xuezhongpostingan 'open' letter on WeChat on May 9, addressed to all NPC Deputies; retired senior Central Party School Professor Cai Xia whose scathing criticism of Xi Jinping and the CCP on a 20-minute recording circulated for almost a month on the Chinese web; and the publication on May 21, in Hongkong’s ‘Mainland China’of an over 2000-character essay penned by XuZhangrun, former Professor of Law at Beijing’s prestigious Tsinghua University who has near iconic status among China’s academics and intellectuals. Separately, the White House released a toughly worded 16-page document titled ‘The United States Strategic Approach to China’ on May 20, which put the spotlight on the strained US-China relationship that has adversely impacted China’s economy and realisation of its ‘Two Centenary’ goals. Quite interestingly the document comments: "Our approach is not premised on determining a particular end state for China", possibly to assure the CCP that the American objective is not to destroy it! Preparatory to the CPPCC and NPC plenums, Xinhua (May 15) reported that the Politburo met on May 15 to discuss the draft of the State Council’s Government Work Report that Chinese Premier Li Keqiang would present to the third meeting of the 13th NPC. Xinhua said the meeting believed that in the past year “China's development has faced many difficult challenges”, but "the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core" united all the people to overcome difficulties and complete the main goals and tasks of the year. It said the Party Central Committee has made epidemic prevention and control a top priority. The meeting, it said, "emphasised that the current global epidemic situation and the world economic situation are still grim and complex, and the challenges facing China's development are unprecedented". It said "to do a good job in the government this year" the "strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and under the guidance of Xi Jinping's socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era" was necessary. It emphasised the importance of expanding domestic demand, achieving the goal of tackling poverty, and promoting the agricultural harvest and increasing farmers' incomes. 2,158 CPPCC delegates and 2,878 Deputies to the NPC, which included the 290 Deputies representing the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and People’s Armed Police (PAP), assembled in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People from May 21 for the week-long plenary sessions. As per practice, CPPCC Delegates were permitted to sit-in on NPC meetings though not vote. On May 21, the opening day of the third session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Wang Yang, CPPCC Chairman and PBSC member, in his Report announced: “We will ensure the long-term stability of ‘one country, two systems.’ We will continue to support the improvement of the implementation of the systems and mechanisms of the constitution and Basic Law.” The Global Times (May 21) said the CPPCC would also organise people from minority ethnic groups and religious fields to hold coordination meetings; strengthen members from Hong Kong and Macao on their political responsibilities in carrying out their missions centered on the "one China, two systems" principle; firmly support the implementation of the Constitution and the basic law in the SARs; and deepen exchanges between the Chinese mainland and people from Taiwan island. The CPPCC would deepen work on building consensus. Guided by patriotism and socialism, the CPPCC would seek common ground while sh

estimates were arranged in order of GDP per capita value, and grouped into five classes (see Table 2), with 25-29 countries per class. Given the MPA costs in developed and developing countries given above, a deviation from the mean cost (as predicted by Equation 1) of 1.7 for developed countries, and 0.3 for developing countries was calculated (which appears justified as the number of MPAs sampled from developed and developing countries were similar - 43 and 40, respectively). We then applied these multipliers to our country classes I and V, respectively, and interpolated the F-values for classes II and IV, class III having, by definition, a correction factor of 1 (i.e., we expect average costs). Table 2 presents the data involved here. The 57 countries or territories lacking GDP per capita information from the World Bank or the IMF were subsequently assigned an F-factor of 1. It should be noted that these countries or territories have few MPAs, and that any subjective bias will have a limited influence on our global cost estimate. Also, in order to allow for comparison of the costs of MPAs in countries with small EEZs with those of countries with large EEZs, the MPA costs were divided, for each country and territory, by the ex-vessel value (in year 2000) of the fisheries catches in their EEZ, as given on the website of the Sea Around Us Project (see Table 2.

The resulting dimensionless ratio is our proposed ‘Investment to Marine Protected Areas’, or MPAinv, expressed in percent in Table 3. In assessing which countries are performing well in terms of running costs relative to the value of the fisheries catches, we considered an investment of 10% or more the target investment for all countries as demonstrated by Australia which is considered to be one of the most advanced countries in managing its marine protected areas, with just over 10% of its running costs. A score of 10 was assigned to those countries achieving the target investment, while countries with no investment or a low investment (i.e. MPAcost = <0.5%) score zero and investments of 5% score 5. For 55 countries, of which only one (Sweden) is included in Table 3, the method detailed above produced MPA cost estimates above 15 % of the value of their fisheries catches. In such cases, MPAcosts were set at 15 %; this corresponds to assuming that beyond this value, MPAs do not benefit fisheries. This does not have any impact on our scoring (see above). Table 3.

(Detailed information for the other countries can be found, for each of the other countries and territories at www.seaaroundus.org). Globally, the estimate of MPA cost is nearly 900 million US$ for the year 2000, or about 1 % of the value of global catches. As a subsidy to fisheries, this would add about 3 % to the global estimate of 30-34 billion US$ (Khan et al., 2006; Sumaila and Pauly, 2006), but in the form of ‘good’ subsidies, i.e., not adding to fleet capacity. As far as the 53 countries selected for comparison (Table 3), they contribute 81.1 % of the cost of MPAs in the world, below their contribution to world fisheries catches at 95 %. The preliminary nature of these estimates cannot be overemphasized. The problems range from deficiencies in the

their differences in states crucial to the battle for the White House. Just hours after basking in his supporters’ adulation at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, Obama was hit by a stark reminder of the challenge he faces convincing voters to give him a second term despite stubbornly high unemployment on his watch. As the candidates launched the final two-month drive to Election Day, the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Obama getting at least a small bounce from his convention, taking a narrow lead of 46 percent to Romney’s 44 percent among likely voters. Romney previously led by 45 percent to Obama’s 44 percent. The latest polling was conducted before the Labor Department reported on Friday that U.S. employers added a lower-than-expected 96,000 jobs in August – which could ensure that any “bump” in popular support for Obama is limited and brief. The grim economic news dimmed the afterglow from the convention where Obama on Thursday night accepted his party’s nomination and appealed to Americans for more time and patience to finish his economic agenda. Pouncing on the jobs data to slam Obama’s handling of the economy – the top concern of voters – Romney called the figures “another disappointing, sad report.” Romney said that Obama “just doesn’t know what it takes to get America strong again. And I do. And I’m going to bring it back,” Romney said at a rally. While noting the private sector had now generated jobs for 30 straight months, Obama acknowledged: “It’s not good enough. We need to create more jobs faster.” At the same time, he pointed out that Republicans in Congress had blocked much of his jobs plan and accused Romney of making promises to revitalize the economy but not telling voters how he would do it. “I honestly believe this is the clearest choice that we’ve had in my lifetime,” Obama said at a later rally. “It’s a choice between two fundamentally different visions of our future, where America goes.” Obama took to the campaign trail with his wife, Michelle, and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife a day after his nationally televised acceptance speech capped two weeks of back-to-back nominating conventions for Democrats and Republicans. Obama’s acceptance speech drew the largest television audience of this year’s political conventions and ranked as the biggest political moment ever on social media site Twitter. The end of the conventions opened the last phase of a White House battle that polls show is essentially deadlocked amid deep voter anxiety about the economy. BACK TO CAMPAIGN TRAIL The latest jobs data could give a boost to Romney, the former head of a private equity firm who has made his business experience the centerpiece of his campaign. He argues he is uniquely qualified to create job growth and says Obama is not up to the job. The Obama campaign has sought to undermine Romney’s argument by pointing out some firms he invested in ended up cutting jobs or shipping them overseas. Obama, who entered office during the darkest days of the 2007-2009 recession, has brought unemployment down from a peak of 10 percent in his first year, but has been unable to crack the 8 percent barrier – a fact that Romney’s camp has stressed. “This is not even close to what a recovery looks like,” Paul Ryan, Romney’s vice presidential running mate, told CNBC. Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Romney-Ryan approach was not the answer, saying that would mean “going back to the same policies that led us to the crisis that we’ve been going through to begin with.” The unemployment data still raise doubts whether Obama will get anything more than a limited – and short-lived boost – from the convention. Obama senior adviser David Plouffe sought to play down expectations, saying he did not expect any major shift in voter sentiment. “We come out of the convention with momentum. That doesn’t mean the race is going to change significantly,” he told reporters traveling with Obama. SWING-STATE TOUR Obama and Romney campaigned on Friday in the toss-up states of New Hampshire and Iowa, which could be critical to piecing together the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.

They are among eight to 10 battleground states that are likely to decide the election, a list that also includes Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Colorado, Nevada and Wisconsin. Those states have been flooded by tens of millions of dollars in TV ads by the campaigns, and hundreds of millions more from outside groups allied with the two candidates. Obama is spending the weekend on a bus tour of Florida, while Romney heads to Virginia for campaign events on Saturday. Obama dismissed Romney and Ryan as foreign policy neophytes and mocked the Republican nominee for offending British leaders by criticizing London’s handling of the Olympic Games while on an overseas trip there. Seeking to turn the tables on Obama, Romney said on Friday he had only been speaking to the British in a straightforward way, and faulted the president for what he said was a failure to talk tough enough with China about trade and currency practices. “The message from last night was that the president’s plan is four more years of the four last years. And I don’t think the American people want four more years of the four last years,” Romney said. Democrats said they were pleased with the three-day convention, which they say could help reignite supporters’ enthusiasm. The next big event on the political calendar is the first of three presidential debates on Oct. 3 in Denver.

that. You know, I wanna start this horse at four years old. We're just gonna go with that age. And I need, let's say I say in my [00:08:00] brain, I need about six months to prepare them. Okay. Give or take, you know, for some horses take much longer. Depends on how much training they have before. It depends on the trust history, it depends on a lot. And let's say we need six months just to have a date, right? Or even a year, right? We'll just say, we need six months to prepare this horse for the first time I'm gonna sit on them. That's just kind of the timeline we have in our minds. It may take longer, it may take less. It doesn't really matter. We're just gonna say six months. It would be super tempting to, you know, wean the foal and then just have it do nothing and we're not doing anything with them. You know, you do some basic handling. You know, they can get their feet done. They need their feet regularly cared for, and they need medical care. And there is a tremendous amount of benefit to like letting your young horses just grow up, right? Just letting 'em be out in the herd and be with their companions and socialize and just live their lives as horses. Like that is so important. You guys know, I'm a big advocate for that. You need to let them grow and you need to let them be horses. That is really, I. [00:09:00] But imagine if, and this is where the conversation was that I had this morning. Imagine if you took that time from six months to four years old. Imagine if you took that time to intentionally expose your horses in a positive way to traveling places or to meeting new people, or to going out on hand walks alone. So imagine it was like a trail ride, like you wanted to take your horse on a trail ride out by itself. But your horse isn't started under saddle yet, but you. Go on a hike with your horse out alone and teach them. That's a positive experience and lots of positive reinforcement, exposure to a lot of new things. Getting 'em used to it. It's also great for their body to be able to experience new types of footing and get that enrichment. It's fantastic. So, you know, I imagine also taking them to. Like, imagine one of your horses needs to go for a vet visit. You could haul your young horse with you, you know, keep them safe. Don't [00:10:00] expose 'em to things that are gonna be contagious, things like that. But and you want it to be positive, so we're not trying to stress them out. And so make sure it's the horse that they're going with is confident and quiet and all of that. But imagine if they. Travel along with them and be able to hang out in the trailer and have some hay and get out and graze a little bit. Then get back in and go home. Like imagine if you spent so, almost so like three and a half years really focusing on what I'm gonna kind of call socializing your young horse, getting them out, exposing them to new environments, exposing them to different things you would like them to be able to do when you eventually get on and ride and do that before you ever even talk about or start the whole introducing to riding process. And I'm bringing this up because well, for two reasons. One, I mentioned the it. I think this will take off a lot of that pressure [00:11:00] and that like ticking clock that we're kind of watching, like when's my horse gonna be four or three or whatever and I can start riding them. It takes the pressure off of that because we're so busy working on doing other things with the horse that we're not even too worried about that. Like that time will come, it's fine. We're having a lot of fun right now and we're enjoying this process right now. And that's. Okay, so that's one benefit. The second benefit is, You spend all of this time getting your horse ready to and exposing them to all the different types of environments and doing all the behaviors you would like them to do from the ground first for years before you ever start introducing them to the saddle and the rider. And then you get to the point where it's time

that. You know, I wanna start this horse at four years old. We're just gonna go with that age. And I need, let's say I say in my [00:08:00] brain, I need about six months to prepare them. Okay. Give or take, you know, for some horses take much longer. Depends on how much training they have before. It depends on the trust history, it depends on a lot. And let's say we need six months just to have a date, right? Or even a year, right? We'll just say, we need six months to prepare this horse for the first time I'm gonna sit on them. That's just kind of the timeline we have in our minds. It may take longer, it may take less. It doesn't really matter. We're just gonna say six months. It would be super tempting to, you know, wean the foal and then just have it do nothing and we're not doing anything with them. You know, you do some basic handling. You know, they can get their feet done. They need their feet regularly cared for, and they need medical care. And there is a tremendous amount of benefit to like letting your young horses just grow up, right? Just letting 'em be out in the herd and be with their companions and socialize and just live their lives as horses. Like that is so important. You guys know, I'm a big advocate for that. You need to let them grow and you need to let them be horses. That is really, I. [00:09:00] But imagine if, and this is where the conversation was that I had this morning. Imagine if you took that time from six months to four years old. Imagine if you took that time to intentionally expose your horses in a positive way to traveling places or to meeting new people, or to going out on hand walks alone. So imagine it was like a trail ride, like you wanted to take your horse on a trail ride out by itself. But your horse isn't started under saddle yet, but you. Go on a hike with your horse out alone and teach them. That's a positive experience and lots of positive reinforcement, exposure to a lot of new things. Getting 'em used to it. It's also great for their body to be able to experience new types of footing and get that enrichment. It's fantastic. So, you know, I imagine also taking them to. Like, imagine one of your horses needs to go for a vet visit. You could haul your young horse with you, you know, keep them safe. Don't [00:10:00] expose 'em to things that are gonna be contagious, things like that. But and you want it to be positive, so we're not trying to stress them out. And so make sure it's the horse that they're going with is confident and quiet and all of that. But imagine if they. Travel along with them and be able to hang out in the trailer and have some hay and get out and graze a little bit. Then get back in and go home. Like imagine if you spent so, almost so like three and a half years really focusing on what I'm gonna kind of call socializing your young horse, getting them out, exposing them to new environments, exposing them to different things you would like them to be able to do when you eventually get on and ride and do that before you ever even talk about or start the whole introducing to riding process. And I'm bringing this up because well, for two reasons. One, I mentioned the it. I think this will take off a lot of that pressure [00:11:00] and that like ticking clock that we're kind of watching, like when's my horse gonna be four or three or whatever and I can start riding them. It takes the pressure off of that because we're so busy working on doing other things with the horse that we're not even too worried about that. Like that time will come, it's fine. We're having a lot of fun right now and we're enjoying this process right now. And that's. Okay, so that's one benefit. The second benefit is, You spend all of this time getting your horse ready to and exposing them to all the different types of environments and doing all the behaviors you would like them to do from the ground first for years before you ever start introducing them to the saddle and the rider. And then you get to the point where it's time

for the saddle and the rider, and you get your cues for riding and all that, and you spend however long you need. To, you know, work on these things and then all of a sudden you can put them together and you are ahead [00:12:00] of the game. So a lot of people don't do a whole lot with their horse, and then they go to start them under saddle, and then they have to start this process then. So even if they started at like three, or maybe we'll say four. And they start the process of introducing to the saddle and then to the rider, and then teaching 'em to turn left and teaching 'em to turn right and backing up and all those things. Great, fine. And then they start working on going out on a trail ride by themselves. And then they start working on traveling to shows and then they start working on I'm trying to think of some other examples of things people might wanna do. Going over jumps or just going on trail rides in general or being able to ride around other horses or just, I don't know, there's like a lot of different things that we do once we get on the horse that we wait until we get on the horse to be able to start training our horses to do these things. Going into the covered arena, going [00:13:00] into the scary corners seeing the spooky, you know, whatever down the road, you know, going near roadways. There's so many different things we wait until we're actually doing stuff in the saddle to start preparing our horses for the things that we expect them to be able to do eventually once we're in the saddle. But what if you took that and you kind of swapped it around, like you flipped it around, you spent the time first on the ground, getting your horse used to and prepared for everything you would like to be able to do once you're in the saddle, but without being in the saddle first and then, That part of it once they're old enough and mature enough, you're getting in the saddle. You're asking 'em to carry the weight, and then basically what you're doing is saying, here, horse, let's do everything we've done before. That was all positive and amazing, and now we're just gonna add a little bit of a different aspect to it. We're just gonna make it a little bit different and we're gonna do it with me on your back this time versus me on the ground. And it's so much [00:14:00] easier. It's so much easier for everybody because your horse had a guide you being on the ground, those first times that they experienced those things and they had a support system from the ground and they got to have that positive experience and all that, and you guys took your time. It was, you know, there was patience and all of that. And they didn't have to worry about also trying to balance with the rider and dealing with our normal stuff. I mean, riders, even the best are unbalanced sometimes or accidentally move the reins in a weird way or accidentally kick the leg, or, I don't know, just. You know, human stuff. We make mistakes, we do different things, and we're on top of their body. So not only are they carrying their body, they're carrying us on top of them. So we've got now their, you know, selves and how they can be unbalanced and have their different ways of moving and they might trip or whatever. And then you add us. Equally as problematic. We trip and get [00:15:00] unbalanced and don't have great muscle tone or whatever. You add that on top of their already young and unbalanced bodies. And then we put that in combination with, now let's go learn new stuff. Let's go to new environments. Let's go do new stressful things. And there's nobody on the ground to really guide them and it just makes things way more complicated than they need to be. So even when I'm working with adult horses that have a really long history of riding and maybe are great at riding, but maybe. Have trouble with going out on the trail by themselves or going over jumps or going to new environments, whatever. I always start on the ground. I always start on the ground, getting them comfortable, making sure everything's okay, making sure they're good, making sure that they understand the task, and then I get in

According to ESPN.com’s Dan Rafael, Pacquiao’s defense of his WBA World welterweight belt was worth $30 million in pay-per-view revenue in the United States alone. The report added that the Nevada State Athletic Commission has yet to make the announced crowd 13,025 at MGM Grand official but it’s estimated that gate revenue will reach seven figures. Pacquiao-Broner also happened in the same date as the UFC 233 wherein Henry Cejudo defeated TJ Dillashaw to retain his UFC World flyweight title that split the attention of fight fans. Boxing’s only eight-division World champion long established his drawing power with his PPV numbers usually reaching more than a million in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Pacquiao is also one-half of the highest-earning PPV bout in sports history when his fight against Floyd Mayweater in 2015 reached 4.6 million buys in the US and around 5.7 million worldwide. The fight against Broner was also Pacquiao’s first time in the United States and in PPV since he fought Jessie Vargas to win the WBO World welterweight championship in 2016 in Las Vegas. Pacquiao’s next two fights after the Vargas win weren’t aired in PPV and weren’t fought in the United States. The next fight was a loss to Jeff Horn and was fought Brisbane that was aired live on ESPN in July of 2017. Pacquiao bounced back from that controversial loss a year later when he beat Lucas Matthysse for the WBA 147-lb strap in Malaysia that was streamed live on ESPN+.

Bryan Tann’s novel focuses on a vampire hunter named Bryce Kreed, a no-nonsense enforcer whose means are questionable and disputed, but the results are outstanding. He is summoned from his post in Seattle to help out with Mistress Enya Blake in Pittsburgh, as she is under threat by an unknown group. Enya and Bryce eventually become close as they unravel the real reasons behind her threat. Vampires are not the only species wondering around America in Tann’s novel, as the main villain tasked with killing Bryce is a werewolf, while magicians also frequent. This adds a new layer to the novel as different skill-sets and powers can be used to help out in various scenarios. And it’s this inclusion of other species which bring about one of the main surprises in the novel. One of the best aspects to Tann’s novel is his characterisation of Bryce; from the early moments we see him until the end we get a nice character arc. Having been a killer for over 200 years we are presented with a thug-like man who simply enjoys the killing, but by the end he’s actively seeking forgiveness for his crimes and allowing romance into his life. Even when he feeds off humans for their blood, he picks out those he believes are sinners; his conscience eventually becomes a recurring theme. This added to his back-story we are given flesh out Bryce’s character and allow him to evolve as the story progresses to the point where we genuinely care for him in his fights, rather than simply enjoying his actions. However, Tann’s character dialogue was a little off-putting at times. Bryce is notorious for his crude language and swears quite often, as do his enemies, and his phrases during their fights can be a little over the top. While that may be an entirely selective opinion, to me Bryce didn’t come across as cool or hard, he simply came across as a stereotype, which can never be good. Also it did make me think that with Bryce being over 300 years old his

Mark Reynolds, an accomplished progressive rock and jazz drummer living in Seattle. In addition to drums Mark also sings and plays keyboards, synths, and tapes. Though drums do not stand out above the music, they do dominate each of the 10 songs which is novel with today’s music. Mark is an excellent drummer and his music is surprisingly good with just the right blend of jazz and progressive rock. His use of quirky sound bites peppered throughout the disc reminds me of Bill Nelson. In the promotional material Mark states that Balance expresses the ideals of striving for the Perfect Life and that he arranged the songs to emulate the dynamics of daily living. I don’t know if I would go that far, but the music does flow nicely from song to song and I find the final song Ponderances on Things Above to be the best song on the disc. The water sounds and Gina Scollard’s voice are just the right elements to accompany Mark’s keyboards and drums. Balance is a noteworthy debut effort by an independent artist.

Please DO contact the artists directly, or visit their WWW page(s). Thanks AGAIN, Henry! Poncho Sanchez: CONGA BLUE – Don’t know how many of you LOVE latino music (like I do), but this CD (in from Bobbi Marcus Public Relations) would serve as an excellent introduction to such. Heavy jazz influences, some nice sax & horn work, but (as the title might lead you to believe) the core is th’ conga drums of Sanchez! There are some neat sections which emphasize vox, too, but they don’t (as some Latino music can do, particularly if you don’t understand the language) take away from the musical experience. Very relaxing (that does NOT mean boring) pieces, but with a fervor of energy that will transport you… & in any music, what MORE could you ask for? Primarily a west-coast musician, he’s on tour right now across the states (New York, Chicago, Boston & Philly, to name a few)… catch him if you can! He used to play with one of my favorites in jazz, Cal Tjader, as well as many other “name” performers. Clearly in love with the voices good percussion can speak with, he’s a master at telling you the tale. Comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by this reviewer!

Wright is clearly able, & enjoys playing, but I didn’t feel the “spark”… that may (just) be due to the nature of the tunes, I’m not sure (but I don’t think so, although it IS the kind of music my GRANDMOTHER told me I WOULD listen to – so, natch, I snuck out the back door & listened to Fats & Chuck Berry on the Packard radio). That’s not to say that this isn’t “good” music (whatever THAT means); it’s just that it doesn’t reach out & GRAB the listener, & I think that (especially) on a piano album, that is ESSENTIAL! This is rare on any CD from Creative Service Company, I’m (almost) always impressed by the artistry they seem to foster. So – would I listen to it again? Probably! Would I recommend it?

hydrogen bonding (Figure 3). We note that in both models 3 and 7, the hydrogen bonding interactions between His64 and NO are stronger than in models 2 and 6, which is mirrored in the calculated g-values (Table S1). All three calculated g-values (g1, g2, and g3) of model 4 are larger than the free electron value and hence this structure is completely inconsistent with the experimental data and can be ruled out. Thus, on the basis of the computed QM/MM g-tensors, all models except model 4 are potential models for R-form. Hence, more insight may be obtained from the computed hyperfine couplings. In Table S2, the isotropic nitrogen hyperfine coupling constants (HCCs, Aiso) of 14NHis93 and 14NO and the largest proton HCC of His64 (1HHis64A3) are reported. It is expected the ligand HCCs are easier to predict than the g-tensor or the metal HCCs, because the core-level spin polarization is not as pronounced for the light elements, and the spin orbit coupling (SOC) contributions are negligible. The quality of the calculations is judged by calculating these HCCs for all seven models with different density functionals and comparison of the results to the experimental values for the R-form (Table S2). The calculated 14NO HCCs decrease in the following order: model 1 > model 2 > model 3. Again, this trend is attributed to increased hydrogen bonding interactions upon going from model 1 to model 3. From Table S3 it is obvious that increased hydrogen-bonding interactions with His64 decrease the spin population on NO and hence the calculated 14NOAiso is smaller for model 3 than for model 1. Similar trends are also observed for models 5
7, where 14NOAiso of model 7 has a smaller value than model 5 for 14NOAiso. From table S3, it is seen that hydrogen bonding leads to a shift of spin population from the NO group to the central iron. Except for model 4, the calculations with any of the tested density functionals predict significant values for 14NHis93Aiso. This value is larger for model 1 than for model 2 and model 3, for which the predicted spin populations decrease in the following order: model 1> model 2> model 3. We predict that the largest component of the HCC tensor of the hydrogen-bonded proton (1HHis64A3) of model 2 is closest to experiment. However compared to other models, this value is more than 10 MHz larger for models 3 and 7, which is inconsistent with experiment. Thus, the strong hydrogen bonding between NO and His64 that is present in these models does not appear to occur in the R form of MbNO. Taken together, Tables S1 and S2 demonstrate that the calculated g-tensors of models 2, 3, and 7 agree qualitatively with the experimental estimates. However, only for model 2, the calculated nitrogen and proton HCCs are in quantitative agreement with the experimental data. Quite surprisingly, the good agreement with experiment only holds for GGA functionals. Both the B3LYP and PBE0 hybrid functionals severely underestimates 14NAiso of NO and His93 (model 2) by ∼10 MHz. We have thus arrived at an experimentally calibrated electronic structure description and will proceed below to analyze the results more closely. (iv). Spin Populations. From the results presented above, the calculated EPR parameters are very sensitive to the actual models and the choice of functional. The fluctuation in the calculated values can be understood upon studying the spin populations more closely. Regardless of the density functionals used, an increased spin population on Fe is found for models 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 compared to models 1 and 5 because of lack of hydrogen bonding in the latter two models (table S3). Compared to Models 2 and 6, in both models 3 and 7, we find more spin population on Fe due to the stronger hydrogen bonding interaction between His64 and NO. This increased hydrogen bonding pattern is mainly due to the positive charge of His64 in the doubly protonated state. However, as mentioned above, the spin

hydrogen bonding (Figure 3). We note that in both models 3 and 7, the hydrogen bonding interactions between His64 and NO are stronger than in models 2 and 6, which is mirrored in the calculated g-values (Table S1). All three calculated g-values (g1, g2, and g3) of model 4 are larger than the free electron value and hence this structure is completely inconsistent with the experimental data and can be ruled out. Thus, on the basis of the computed QM/MM g-tensors, all models except model 4 are potential models for R-form. Hence, more insight may be obtained from the computed hyperfine couplings. In Table S2, the isotropic nitrogen hyperfine coupling constants (HCCs, Aiso) of 14NHis93 and 14NO and the largest proton HCC of His64 (1HHis64A3) are reported. It is expected the ligand HCCs are easier to predict than the g-tensor or the metal HCCs, because the core-level spin polarization is not as pronounced for the light elements, and the spin orbit coupling (SOC) contributions are negligible. The quality of the calculations is judged by calculating these HCCs for all seven models with different density functionals and comparison of the results to the experimental values for the R-form (Table S2). The calculated 14NO HCCs decrease in the following order: model 1 > model 2 > model 3. Again, this trend is attributed to increased hydrogen bonding interactions upon going from model 1 to model 3. From Table S3 it is obvious that increased hydrogen-bonding interactions with His64 decrease the spin population on NO and hence the calculated 14NOAiso is smaller for model 3 than for model 1. Similar trends are also observed for models 5
7, where 14NOAiso of model 7 has a smaller value than model 5 for 14NOAiso. From table S3, it is seen that hydrogen bonding leads to a shift of spin population from the NO group to the central iron. Except for model 4, the calculations with any of the tested density functionals predict significant values for 14NHis93Aiso. This value is larger for model 1 than for model 2 and model 3, for which the predicted spin populations decrease in the following order: model 1> model 2> model 3. We predict that the largest component of the HCC tensor of the hydrogen-bonded proton (1HHis64A3) of model 2 is closest to experiment. However compared to other models, this value is more than 10 MHz larger for models 3 and 7, which is inconsistent with experiment. Thus, the strong hydrogen bonding between NO and His64 that is present in these models does not appear to occur in the R form of MbNO. Taken together, Tables S1 and S2 demonstrate that the calculated g-tensors of models 2, 3, and 7 agree qualitatively with the experimental estimates. However, only for model 2, the calculated nitrogen and proton HCCs are in quantitative agreement with the experimental data. Quite surprisingly, the good agreement with experiment only holds for GGA functionals. Both the B3LYP and PBE0 hybrid functionals severely underestimates 14NAiso of NO and His93 (model 2) by ∼10 MHz. We have thus arrived at an experimentally calibrated electronic structure description and will proceed below to analyze the results more closely. (iv). Spin Populations. From the results presented above, the calculated EPR parameters are very sensitive to the actual models and the choice of functional. The fluctuation in the calculated values can be understood upon studying the spin populations more closely. Regardless of the density functionals used, an increased spin population on Fe is found for models 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 compared to models 1 and 5 because of lack of hydrogen bonding in the latter two models (table S3). Compared to Models 2 and 6, in both models 3 and 7, we find more spin population on Fe due to the stronger hydrogen bonding interaction between His64 and NO. This increased hydrogen bonding pattern is mainly due to the positive charge of His64 in the doubly protonated state. However, as mentioned above, the spin

populations are sensitive to the choice of hybrid versus GGA functionals. Functionals without HF exchange (such as BP86, PBE) leading to a preferential spin density flow to iron and hence an electronic configuration that more closely resembles Fe(I)
NO+. Hybrid functionals (with the notable exception of O3LYP) show the opposite behavior which leads to a Fe(II)
NO 3 like electronic structure description. Obviously, the experimental data favor the former solution. Praneeth et al44,45 used magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy coupled to DFT calculations with the B3LYP functional to understand the origin of the different spin distributions in 5- and 6-coordinate Fe
NO model systems. They found that the sixth ligand (nitrogen-donor ligands were investigated) pushes the electrons from Fe to NO. The main conclusion is that the 5-coordinate Fe
NO systems are best described as Fe
(I)
NO+ whereas their 6-coordinate counterparts display a Fe(II)
NO• like electronic ground state configuration. More recently, Radon and Pierloot36 calibrated a number of popular density functionals against correlated ab initio methods (CASSCF/ CASPT2) and identified the spin populations on Fe
NO systems as a complex problem for quantum chemistry. In agreement with our results, they found that hydrid functionals, such as B3LYP tend to locate more unpaired electrons on the NO unit, whereas nonhybrid functionals(e.g., PBE) tend to localize the spin density more on Fe. The CASSCF method in conjunctions with large basis sets favors the nonhybrid functionals over the hybrid ones. Hence, at the CASSCF level, about 48% and 52% spin population are located on Fe and NO respectively It should be noted that the calculations performed by both Praneeth et al44,45 and Radon and Pierloot36 are for model systems and not for the protein itself for which hydrogen bonding significantly alters the spin distribution. Although direct comparisons cannot be made between our models and earlier reports as the QM models are very different (e.g., they explicitly include hydrogen bonding interactions with NO), we can compare the spin populations of our model 2 structure. Our calculated spin populations on Fe and NO are close to those reported by Radon and Pierloot.36 (v). Ab Initio Calculation. To further support our spin density distributions obtained using GGA functionals, we have performed correlated ab initio calculations using the spectroscopy oriented configuration interaction (SORCI100) procedure. For these calculations, the QM/MM optimized structure of Model 2 was taken as a basis but truncated in order to make the computations feasible. Thus, we have neglected both the hydrogen bonded residues and point charges. Therefore the model contains only the iron-porphyrin, the axial His93 (modeled as methyl imidazole) and NO. The more accurate def2-TZVPP 569 Figure 6. Potential energy surface scan parameters for model 2. basis101 was used to describe Fe, def2-TZVP(-f) was used for the directly coordinating nitrogens and NO and the def2-SV(P) basis for the remaining atoms. To facilitate comparison with the SORCI results, DFT calculations (without point charges) using the PBE and B3LYP functionals were carried for the same model and with the same basis sets. As described elsewhere in detail, individual selection was used in order to ease the computational burden.100 The size of the first-order interacting space was reduced with a threshold Tsel= 10
6 Eh. A further approximation involves reduction of the reference space through another selection
all initial references that contribute less than a second threshold (Tpre= 10
5) to the 0th order states are rejected from the reference space. The initial orbitals for the first step of the SORCI procedure were taken from quasi-restricted orbitals102 that were further subjected to Pipek
Mezey localization103 to arrive at a reference space that can be rationally chosen. The average approximate natural orbitals (AANOs), generated from SORCI are shown in Figure 6. In the active space, we have included all five Fe-3d orbit

Presidential commission must probe pressures on Judiciary Family foundation appoints new beekeeper to education role djrff February 9, 2019 CoverageComments are off for this post The David and Jane Richards Family Foundation have appointed a beekeeper to support its mission to advance the education of ecology in state schools. Yvonne Kilvington is gardener and activity support worker at a forest school in West Yorkshire and a passionate beekeeper with a lifelong love of bees. She will work with DJRFF to increase the number of schools involved in beekeeping, help promote the educational importance of bees, get children excited about nature and provide them with opportunities they might not get otherwise. The foundation is supporting the installation and running costs of beehives and bee colonies at UK state schools, starting in Sheffield. Yvonne will deliver training courses for teachers and offer support to set up apiaries within the schools, she said: “The apiaries will be a teaching resource to enrich the curriculum and help children learn about the living world around them. We can learn so much from bees. They can help children understand how important bees are to our own survival in respect of the pollination of crops and the food that we eat. “Schools can teach children about bees and beekeeping as part of the curriculum through subjects like ecology, biology, maths and English as well as through extra-curricular activities. “Being around the bees encourages children to ask all sorts of questions about their lifecycle and environment. Why do bees build hexagons in their hives? What makes the hexagon such a strong shape that make the best use of space?” Yvonne set up the apiary at Ashbrow School six years ago. It currently holds seven hives with each hive containing around 10,000 bees in winter and up to 60,000 in the height of summer. Bees pollinate the fruit and vegetable gardens around the school. The crops are then harvested, sent to the school kitchen for cooking in meals and any waste is composted and returned to spread across the garden. Forest schools follow the Scandinavian approach to early years education and give children opportunities to develop through positive outdoor experiences. They promote child-led activities with nature and give children the opportunity to explore the natural world for themselves. Yvonne continued: “We have had children who have initially been frightened of the bees, but after lots of reassurance and nurturing, and helping the children to stay calm, they have grown in confidence.” Yvonne has kept bees for the last 16 years, but her love of bees stretches back to childhood. She said: “My grandparents lived on a farm and I used to play in the fields, picking up stones and looking for insects, and this led to my love of bees. As soon as I had the time and money, I started beekeeping.” David and Jane Richards said: “We are delighted to welcome Yvonne Kilvington to our foundation. It is obvious to any visitor that Ashbrow School is an inspirational learning environment and Yvonne’s considerable expertise and experience in this field will be invaluable to our cause. It was immediately clear to us that she shares two of our passions: bees and kids. It’s a perfect match.” About the David and Jane Richards Family Foundation David Richards, the founder and chief executive of public software company WANdisco plc, set up djrff.org with wife Jane to educate, empower and improve the lives of children. The foundation is registered as a charitable incorporated organisation to operate throughout England. Its trustees are Professor Chris Brady, director of the Centre for Sports Business at the University of Salford, Lord Kerslake, the

you going to find the judges, sheriffs and prosecutors for this?” In an eye-opening report released last fall, the provincial court warned that 17 new judges must be hired just to bring B.C. back to 2005 levels and slow the backlog. Instead, B.C.’s spring budget approved cuts totalling $14.5 million to the judiciary, court services and prosecution services. (In the wake of the riots, funding for sheriffs was quietly restored.) But the issue isn’t solely administrative. Although this will surely go down as the world’s best documented riot, some of the hundreds of thousands of photos submitted anonymously to police may be inadmissible as evidence. “In court, you have to be able to call a witness who took the video or picture,” says Shapray. The photo of the so-called “kissing couple” offers a perfect example of how deceptive a picture can be without video evidence or witness testimony. Was it staged? What were they doing? News sites buzzed until the couple was identified. Further, we may be putting too much faith in facial-recognition software: it was designed to sift through well-lit, frontal, ID-quality images, not dark, grainy cellphone photos. Brock Anton, who became an Internet meme after bragging about his alleged exploits on Facebook-apparently admitting to burning a police car and assaulting an officer-may next become an example of someone who gets off scot free, unless credible witnesses come forward to testify, says Shapray. Precedent offers little comfort to outraged citizens. Of the more than 1,100 people held over the Toronto G20 weekend last summer, only 317 were ever charged. And of those, 58 per cent had their charges withdrawn, stayed or dismissed. The rioters who took part in Vancouver’s violent anti-Olympic protest last year have all, meanwhile, escaped criminal punishment. Still, some rioters are receiving punishment far worse than anything the courts might dole out for their crimes. Robert Snelgrove, 24, was captured on film walking out of Sears with a handful of face creams. The next day, the Coquitlam, B.C., native-then fully sober and utterly mortified-turned himself in, and returned the stolen items. No charges were laid. Police took a statement and sent him home. But the Internet mob, who’d pasted his image to shaming sites, was just getting going. By evening, he’d been identified and his cell number and work address were posted online. Then came the messages: “Die scumbag,” plus a rash of homophobic insults. (Snelgrove is gay.) The mob was relentless. “It was message after message”-voice, text and Facebook messages, says Snelgrove. For the first three days he didn’t eat anything. “I felt sick. I felt too ashamed to go outside.” Customers called his manager to complain, and he was suspended without pay, and expects to be fired. In a world where a reference check begins with a Google search, the mob has given many students and young adults a life sentence. There is a reason, however slow and unwieldy, that the administration of justice has been delegated to the state. Internet justice, unlike the real kind, is swift and severe-and not necessarily right or fair.

you going to find the judges, sheriffs and prosecutors for this?” In an eye-opening report released last fall, the provincial court warned that 17 new judges must be hired just to bring B.C. back to 2005 levels and slow the backlog. Instead, B.C.’s spring budget approved cuts totalling $14.5 million to the judiciary, court services and prosecution services. (In the wake of the riots, funding for sheriffs was quietly restored.) But the issue isn’t solely administrative. Although this will surely go down as the world’s best documented riot, some of the hundreds of thousands of photos submitted anonymously to police may be inadmissible as evidence. “In court, you have to be able to call a witness who took the video or picture,” says Shapray. The photo of the so-called “kissing couple” offers a perfect example of how deceptive a picture can be without video evidence or witness testimony. Was it staged? What were they doing? News sites buzzed until the couple was identified. Further, we may be putting too much faith in facial-recognition software: it was designed to sift through well-lit, frontal, ID-quality images, not dark, grainy cellphone photos. Brock Anton, who became an Internet meme after bragging about his alleged exploits on Facebook-apparently admitting to burning a police car and assaulting an officer-may next become an example of someone who gets off scot free, unless credible witnesses come forward to testify, says Shapray. Precedent offers little comfort to outraged citizens. Of the more than 1,100 people held over the Toronto G20 weekend last summer, only 317 were ever charged. And of those, 58 per cent had their charges withdrawn, stayed or dismissed. The rioters who took part in Vancouver’s violent anti-Olympic protest last year have all, meanwhile, escaped criminal punishment. Still, some rioters are receiving punishment far worse than anything the courts might dole out for their crimes. Robert Snelgrove, 24, was captured on film walking out of Sears with a handful of face creams. The next day, the Coquitlam, B.C., native-then fully sober and utterly mortified-turned himself in, and returned the stolen items. No charges were laid. Police took a statement and sent him home. But the Internet mob, who’d pasted his image to shaming sites, was just getting going. By evening, he’d been identified and his cell number and work address were posted online. Then came the messages: “Die scumbag,” plus a rash of homophobic insults. (Snelgrove is gay.) The mob was relentless. “It was message after message”-voice, text and Facebook messages, says Snelgrove. For the first three days he didn’t eat anything. “I felt sick. I felt too ashamed to go outside.” Customers called his manager to complain, and he was suspended without pay, and expects to be fired. In a world where a reference check begins with a Google search, the mob has given many students and young adults a life sentence. There is a reason, however slow and unwieldy, that the administration of justice has been delegated to the state. Internet justice, unlike the real kind, is swift and severe-and not necessarily right or fair.

. He was so beautiful to look at that women would faint when they first saw him; then, they often lost their trains of thought in conversations, so Narcissus saw most women as stupid and boring. He often thought to himself that he would never find anyone as good-looking or interesting as he was. One day, he was lost in the woods when he came across a beautiful nymph. He tried to ask her for the way out of the woods, but she would only repeat the last few words he said. He finally grew to believe she was either mocking him or as stupid as the other women in the world, so he stalked away from her angrily. The nymph was Echo, who had been cursed by Hera to not be able to do anything except repeat the ends of sentences from other people in return for protecting Zeus’ affairs with other wood nymphs. Echo was so heartbroken that Aphrodite decided to get revenge on Narcissus. She declared that he would fall in love with someone he could never have, and spend eternity pining for that person that was unattainable. Narcissus finally came to a small pool of water and bent down to drink, but in the water, he saw the reflection of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He tried to reach into the pool to grasp her, but the image would disappear. He heard her voice echoing his own thoughts as he moaned in despair over the love he had for the woman in the water. He became so rooted to the ground next to the water that his feet eventually became planted in the ground and he grew into the narcissus bush. The narcissus flowers were the same flowers Persephone was out picking when she was kidnapped by Hades. Some versions of the myth say that Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in the water, and that story of self- obsession is how we got the word “narcissist.” Narcissus Quick Reference Kephisos and Liriope Narcissus and Echo Echo’s Reflection, His Own Reflection Mirror or Reflective Pool Narcissus Flower Our House in Bogotá, Part 2: Museums December 20, 2018 ourhousein December 20, 2018: Last time, we told you about arriving in Bogotá and a little of what we did there. This time, a little more of what we did, and our departure. We decided to check out a couple of Bogotá’s most recommended museums, leaving plenty of others for another visit. Our first museum was the Museum of Gold. Owned by the republic and run by its central bank, this museum is dedicated to the pre-colonial societies of Colombia, and the artifacts they left behind, primarily gold work. Colombia doesn’t have a lot of well-developed archeological sites, and those remaining have been pretty well looted. The collection in the museum is made up almost exclusively of items purchased by the museum from private collectors who obtained them from looters. As a result, the archeology is understandably difficult. There’s no record of where these pieces were found, just lots of educated guess-work. We learned a great deal at the museum (we had an excellent free tour from an English-speaking grad student working at the museum) and aren’t going to do it justice in this blog post. Here’s a badly abridged overview of our visit. This guy greets visitors at the door: Unlike most of the museum’s objects, this figure is known to have come from the archaeological site of San Agustín. The museum contains a dizzying collection of pieces, arranged, as well as possible, into the regions where they were created and used. Most of the “gold” is actually gold alloy, mostly with copper. Pure gold would simply be too soft for many of the applications for which it was used (including fish hooks!) Nice shadow displays demonstrate how some of the ceremonial pieces were worn: Many of the pieces are small items which were placed in ceramic vessels and buried as offerings, which explains how they survived the Spanish effort to seize all the gold, melt it down, and ship it back to Spain. The museum’s prized piece is an unusually large, elaborate offering.

Unfortunately, it’s in a dark room, and brightly spotlit, and someone didn’t bring his camera, so this is the best we could do with

cell phone cameras: It depicts a chief and entourage going out onto a lake on a raft. The chief, who would be covered in gold dust and wearing gold jewelry, would go into the lake and wash off the gold dust and drop the jewelry, offering it to the lake. Or perhaps someone who lived in the lake. It’s thought this piece was made in desperation, as it is unusually large (maybe 8 inches long), and because it has flaws resulting from problems with the mold (see how the gold has leaked between the reeds on left side of the picture). It wasn’t recast, however, but offered as is. No time for a re-do, it’s surmised. Not all the items at the museum are gold. Quite a few of the figures depicted are chewing coca leaves, as you can see from their cheek bulges [click to enlarge]: Chewing coca leaves was a very common and important activity. At some point, it was discovered that a pinch of lime, derived from ground seashells, significantly increased the extraction of the active ingredient from the leaves, and so, along with a sack of coca leaves, people would carry around a container of lime, and a stick. The stick could be moistened with saliva, inserted into the lime to pick some up, and then inserted into the cheek to mix with the leaves. Some of the lime containers and sticks were quite elaborate. Here’s an offering depicting a guy with his lime container and stick: Some paraphernalia for imbibing a powered psychoactive drug (not cocaine) used by religious figures, presumably: The museum also has a mummy. This man was placed in a burial cave some time after contact with the Spanish (evidenced by glass beads), but before full cultural assimilation. Below are items the museum received with the mummy. They are said to be his, but this can’t be confirmed (because the mummy was acquired post-looting from an unknown location). The museum has a section dedicated to the science of gold metallurgy and the process of mining and refining gold, and the techniques used to produce some of the remarkably complex pieces. The primary method used for intricate items was lost wax casting. Below are examples of tools used in the process as well as some carved wax: The Gold Museum was world-class. A must-do for visitors to Bogotá. Our next museum was the collection of Fernando Botero. The museum was established in 2000 when Botero donated some 200 works, many his own, but also including a large selection of art from his private collection, including many of the greatest painters and sculptures from the 16th century to the modern day (e.g. Dali, Miró, Picasso, Monet, Rothko, Matisse). Botero’s work on display included a variety of paintings and sculpture. We know, the resemblance is uncanny: Some of Botero’s other works: The Botero museum, and a huge complex of adjacent museums are free, making them accessible to all, an undeniably good thing. We hope to see more when we return. We later visited another interesting neighborhood near the one where our Airbnb was located. This neighborhood was closer to the mountains, and had a quieter feel. Plus, Tudor architecture, for some reason. We really need a good tour. Not pictured are the neighborhood’s profusion of great restaurants, casual to elegant. Bogotá is a good city to wander into really good, and really affordable food. But we didn’t come to Colombia simply to sample Bogotá’s restaurant scene. It’s time to move on. At the airport (and everywhere else we went) Christmas shopping was well underway: We flew from Bogotá to Cartagena on Avianca airlines, and the contrast to United could not have been more clear. This was flying like is used to be! Comfortable seats, reasonable security, friendly staff. Oh, and an ad in the in-flight magazine had Laura laughing out loud and getting curious looks from our fellow passengers: Next time, Cartagena. Practically a different country.

ers. NetIDme, based in East Kilbride, specialises in security programmes for chat rooms and instant messenger services. Having struck an agreement with distributor Avanquest, its Chatshield product is being stocked in Amazon, WH Smith and several supermarkets. Alex Hewitt, chief executive of NetIDme, said the software stops unknown people contacting children while online. He said: "By installing ChatShield it will block any traffic from anyone who is not identified and stops your child from talking to them. So we have done a deal with a distribution company Avanquest and Amazon, WH Smith and the supermarkets are going to be stocking it. "It is a retail bit of software which is bought off the shelf for £10 and it raises the bar for protection. It makes it a lot, lot safer. We have deliberately kept the price low at £10 and the distribution deal is fantastic as it will be going to all these major outlets." The East Kilbride firm expects turnover to be around £1million this year but predicts it will reach at least £10m by 2011. However, Hewitt believes it may exceed those targets and grow more quickly. He said: "We landed a deal in America recently which alone is worth Û4m so our business plan may be a little conservative. We have been surprised by the attitude of the market and the uptake for our products. The business is expanding rapidly and we are in talks with a major global player about securing their technology." The company first came to prominence when it introduced a virtual ID card to keep children safe online. Hewitt came up with the invention after finding out his young daughter knew the age and identity of less than 50 of the people on her 150-strong internet buddy list. So far NetIDme has been backed by venture capitalists Hamilton Portfolio and the Scottish Co-investment Fund. It continues to research new products based around its patented identification verification technology. One area under consideration is giving people greater control over information used online to minimise the risk of identity theft. Hewitt added: "There is always development. The technology we have gives us a major differentiator to anyone who would move in to this space in the market as it is quite unique." Currently NetIDme employs 14 people in Scotland with others in London. It has opened remote offices in America, Australia and Canada. Car insurance may well protect you financially for those who have a road collision this winter. Ice and snow aren’t the only real factors that make driving now of year even more dangerous; icy windscreens can also play a role, restricting your visibility once they are not brightened properly. Last winter’s small temperatures and log snowfalls affected almost the main country; it was probably the most widespread and lengthened spell of snow along the UK since Dec 1981 to Present cards 1982. If last season is anything to put into practice, it’s unlikely you will be spared this winter in the problem of ice on the windscreen. You may well put a page of cardboard with your windscreen wipers. In the morning you ought to be throw the stiff card inside boot and drive off which includes a clear view. Another option is for any bucket of tepid to warm water and pour the idea over your dashboard or windscreen. However, we wouldn’t recommend this that the water is boiling there are some risk in the glass cracking. If your primary windscreen does destroy, your car insurance coverage may cover the purchase price. In some instances your insurance agency may even find the money for any repair to your bodywork that’s damaged by broken glass in the windscreen or home’s windows. If you know there will likely be a frost, you may apply anti-freeze for a windscreen the day before. However it is worth considering that some anti-freezes may damage paintwork. At the final of the morning, a good old-fashioned scraper is a best tool for any job, just don’t forget to clear the winter snow storms properly. In earlier hours of that morning, some people get around peering via the post box size hole they’ve scratched straight from the ice. The chances of getting a road collision increase dramatically as soon as vision is limited and it’s potentially an endorsable offence. If you’re involved in some sort of road traffic collision, now or with any other season, reputable car insurance ought to be help with

and Surge: Partnerships Can Help Facilities Prepare The Future to Evaluating Brain Health Could Lie in Virtual Reality How the Pandemic Affected Senior Placement How Senior Living Facilities Can Support Resident Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic How Peer Support Helps Alleviate Loneliness in Senior Care Residents Topics: Activities Lessons from a Tattoo Artist by jakeowensby | Feb 1, 2019 | 1 Corinthians 13 | 9 comments My father served in the U. S. Navy during WWII. He saw his older shipmates’ crude, faded tattoos and heard their regrets about bearing a former girlfriend’s name on their bicep. So, he never got one. He sternly ordered me to follow his example. Thanks to a former student, I’ve grown to appreciate tattoos and to admire the skill of high end tattoo artists. An artist herself, she opened her own shop in Manhattan. Last I heard, her clientele included an impressive list of well-known celebrities. My mother’s arms were also free of tattoos, so it surprises some to learn that she had survived a Nazi concentration camp. Mauthausen. Outside Linz, Austria. It’s common to think that every concentration camp survivor bears a tattoo. But this is not so. Prisoners in Auschwitz—and its subcamps Birkenau and Monowitz—bore identification numbers in their flesh. The reason allied liberators found tattooed survivors elsewhere is that the Nazis transferred prisoners from camp to camp. In any event, my stomach lurches—along with my soul—at the sight of those branded forearms. Tattooed identification numbers are traces of a calculated brutality that was bent on dehumanization and eventual extermination. Oddly, I had never given the first thought to the people who actually did the tattooing. Heather Morris’s novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Lale Sokolov. He was that death camp’s chief tattooist. Most of us associate the very word “Auschwitz” with unspeakable cruelty and debilitating misery. And well it should. So I initially assumed that Morris’s narrative about a concentration camp tattooist would be the account of either a callous Nazi bureaucrat or a sadistic collaborator willingly adding to the misery of his fellow captives. I could not have been more mistaken. The tale of Lale Sokolov teaches us that love makes life worth living in even the most horrific situations. It illustrates what Paul teaches us about love. Without love, we are “a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal.” (1 Corinthians 13:1). Our lives are pointless. One numbing thing after another. A seemingly endless, exhausting sequence of events. By contrast, our love for the other gives us a why. The reason we take the next step in even the most harrowing circumstances. As Paul puts it, love “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7) This is what we can see in Lale Sokolov’s story. Lale was born in Slovakia in 1916. After the Nazi occupation of 1938, Jews were eventually forbidden to work. The Nazis seized Jewish shops and factories. Mass deportations did not begin right away. For a time the horrors of the Holocaust remained unknown to locals. Nazi occupiers demanded that each family surrender one adult to work for the Germans. If a family failed to comply, every member would be arrested. Lale volunteered for the love of his family. He sought to trade his labor for their lives. In 1942 he found himself in a cattle car rolling toward an unknown destination. After arriving in what turned out to be Auschwitz, Lale briefly worked construction until he contracted typhoid.

S. Navy during WWII. He saw his older shipmates’ crude, faded tattoos and heard their regrets about bearing a former girlfriend’s name on their bicep. So, he never got one. He sternly ordered me to follow his example. Thanks to a former student, I’ve grown to appreciate tattoos and to admire the skill of high end tattoo artists. An artist herself, she opened her own shop in Manhattan. Last I heard, her clientele included an impressive list of well-known celebrities. My mother’s arms were also free of tattoos, so it surprises some to learn that she had survived a Nazi concentration camp. Mauthausen. Outside Linz, Austria. It’s common to think that every concentration camp survivor bears a tattoo. But this is not so. Prisoners in Auschwitz—and its subcamps Birkenau and Monowitz—bore identification numbers in their flesh. The reason allied liberators found tattooed survivors elsewhere is that the Nazis transferred prisoners from camp to camp. In any event, my stomach lurches—along with my soul—at the sight of those branded forearms. Tattooed identification numbers are traces of a calculated brutality that was bent on dehumanization and eventual extermination. Oddly, I had never given the first thought to the people who actually did the tattooing. Heather Morris’s novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Lale Sokolov. He was that death camp’s chief tattooist. Most of us associate the very word “Auschwitz” with unspeakable cruelty and debilitating misery. And well it should. So I initially assumed that Morris’s narrative about a concentration camp tattooist would be the account of either a callous Nazi bureaucrat or a sadistic collaborator willingly adding to the misery of his fellow captives. I could not have been more mistaken. The tale of Lale Sokolov teaches us that love makes life worth living in even the most horrific situations. It illustrates what Paul teaches us about love. Without love, we are “a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal.” (1 Corinthians 13:1). Our lives are pointless. One numbing thing after another. A seemingly endless, exhausting sequence of events. By contrast, our love for the other gives us a why. The reason we take the next step in even the most harrowing circumstances. As Paul puts it, love “bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7) This is what we can see in Lale Sokolov’s story. Lale was born in Slovakia in 1916. After the Nazi occupation of 1938, Jews were eventually forbidden to work. The Nazis seized Jewish shops and factories. Mass deportations did not begin right away. For a time the horrors of the Holocaust remained unknown to locals. Nazi occupiers demanded that each family surrender one adult to work for the Germans. If a family failed to comply, every member would be arrested. Lale volunteered for the love of his family. He sought to trade his labor for their lives. In 1942 he found himself in a cattle car rolling toward an unknown destination. After arriving in what turned out to be Auschwitz, Lale briefly worked construction until he contracted typhoid. As a result of his illness, the Nazis shifted his duties to the admissions section of the camp, perhaps because of his knowledge of languages. There he was assigned the job of assistant tattooist and finally chief tattooist. Tattooing men was emotionally difficult. But t

attooing women nearly undid him. One day, he looked into the eyes of a young woman as he held her arm. He fell in love with her. He learned that her name was Gita and that she lived in Birkenau, the women’s subcamp. Because he was chief tattooist, Lale’s quarters and his rations were a little better than those in the other sections of the camp. He set aside his extra rations and secreted them to Gita, to her friends, to his old block mates, and to prisoners in the most desperate need. Love of neighbor—in even this ghastliest and most perilous of neighborhoods—continued to define Lale’s daily life. The threat of torture and death hovered over him constantly. From one perspective you might say that he risked his life to show this kind of love. But I don’t think this is accurate. He lived because he loved. You see, a Nazi bullet or gas chamber would have terminated Lale’s biological existence whether he loved or not. But to pursue his own survival in disregard of his neighbor—to yield to the temptation of self-centeredness—would have led to his spiritual death. He would have condemned himself to a hollow existence. To living a life no longer worth living. Being a noisy gong. A clanging cymbal. Before the Russians liberated Auschwitz, the Nazis shipped Gita out. Eventually, Lale left the camp and returned home. Soon, he set out to find Gita amid the chaos of millions of liberated survivors. Driving a horse and cart, he traveled to Bratislava. On the road to the Red Cross station serving refugees, a woman suddenly stepped in front of his cart. Gita had found Lale. Eventually Lale and Gita married. They immigrated to Australia. There, Lale set up his own business and Gita gave birth to their only son. Love did not achieve this remarkable ending for Lale and Gita. Many prisoners who loved selflessly perished before the Allies liberated the camps. Love did not prevent starvation, disease, torture, and gas from snatching the breath from millions. However, those who gave their love freely to their ragged neighbor harbored a why for their lives that the Nazis—in all their violence and brutality—could not destroy. And love does the same for us all. Love gives our lives an eternal meaning. Without it, we are a noisy gong. A clanging cymbal. “Only love—in all its vulnerability to the suffering of others and all its risk of injury to ourselves—will heal and transfigure the world.” From A Resurrection Shaped Life Check out this brief video about the meaning of suffering.

It’s just remarkable It is! And I didn’t know about the tattoo not being a part of the life of some survivors… Cynthia oxley on February 1, 2019 at 5:41 pm Wonderful, eye opening message. Sometimes we forget how important love is in our lives. Thank you, Cynthia! That’s so very true.

I have been reading that my 25mm 8SE Celestron eyepeice may not be very good in a Skywatcher 150P, and the supplied 10mm and 25mm are going to be average at best. I've also been reading that 4mm or 5mm is usable in the 150P, BST or TMB Planetary are names that seem to crop up a lot, but then someone mentioned Celestron X-Cel LX. I have not upgraded my standard 8SE 25mm yet so could certainly consider doing that, but would mostly like to get a nice high magnification eyepiece to go with the 150P which should be arriving at my door any minute now. Would the 5mm X-Cel LX be a good choice? What would be a good matching barlow to use with the 150P (and 8SE, if possible)? The only barlow I own is the one that came with the ST80, so, yeah.. Thank you. It's finally been done !!!!! SkyWatcher 150p unable to view Mars..? Hello good people! After using EQ2 mounts and imaging planets for almost a year, I think it's about time for me to start imaging DSO's! I think I can just about afford to get the skywatcher 150p on EQ3-2 mount. Will the mount be ok with a dslr or should I wait a while and get the 200p EQ5? The HEQ5 mount is just too expensive for me, unfortunately. I would just like to know if the EQ3-2 or EQ5 is capable of imaging DSO's Thanks! "...Our collection of strap-ons and harnesses offer intense stimulation to both partners.

I have been reading that my 25mm 8SE Celestron eyepeice may not be very good in a Skywatcher 150P, and the supplied 10mm and 25mm are going to be average at best. I've also been reading that 4mm or 5mm is usable in the 150P, BST or TMB Planetary are names that seem to crop up a lot, but then someone mentioned Celestron X-Cel LX. I have not upgraded my standard 8SE 25mm yet so could certainly consider doing that, but would mostly like to get a nice high magnification eyepiece to go with the 150P which should be arriving at my door any minute now. Would the 5mm X-Cel LX be a good choice? What would be a good matching barlow to use with the 150P (and 8SE, if possible)? The only barlow I own is the one that came with the ST80, so, yeah.. Thank you. It's finally been done !!!!! SkyWatcher 150p unable to view Mars..? Hello good people!

Mobile Dustless Blasting is a very comparable idea to cellular sandblasting cabinet gloves however it is more environmentally pleasant on the surroundings and is quite a bit less abrasive on the material you`re blasting. It involves projection of stream at a excessive-pace by means of a jet nozzle with the help of pressurized air, and is nice sufficient to depart the surface clear, dry, and ready for applying new coating. Air is utilized instead except in the case of moist abrasive blasting which makes use of water. Sandblast course of can also be used at the foundries for cleansing the casting iron. Regardless of its identify though, there are now several other supplies that can be used instead of sand. Abrasive blasting equipment can vary from a small again pack sized shot blaster to industrial sized which could be the dimensions of a trailer. Minimal clear-up - As the soda particles explode upon influence, the clear-up only contains the contaminant(s) removed. It`s a course of that entails the use of a ready stencil or pattern on a glass floor before the sandblast is applied. The one thing to remember about sandblasting is do not over do it. As quickly as you hit the bare steel cease. Shot blasting is used mostly to scrub the surface of metals. Traditionally, the gear involves three numerous parts that are the abrasive, blaster nozzle, and an air compressor. Dry ice blasting: Dry blasting makes use of no abrasive supplies but makes use of soft dry ice that`s shot at extraordinarily high speeds to create tiny explosions on a surface which removes contaminants.

port’ well business. Other sports are mostly more acceptable, have better skills, watched by better audiences, commanding less airtime. BeebTax It would be harsh to ban those who haven’t had the virus from working, when millions of people have continued to work pretty much as normal throughout the crisis so far, whether or not they’ve had the virus. I’ve been working throughout, due to the industry I’m in. Let’s get the country moving, albeit with PPE where needed and some social distancing. A conversation with my daughter in law last evening . She was telling me of some of the measures being considered by her American owned health insurance company for staff to return to work. Because of the rules on health and safety the measures being considered sounded very much like paranoia on steroids! Should staff take a shower on arrival at the office? Should staff have a one way route for walking around the office marked out? And so on… These health and safety rules I’ve thought for a long time to be unrealistic and impractical to live with. Yesterday, a Sky engineer came to install a new Sat dish. She had to wear a crash hat, ear muffs and to tie her ladder to the house…. These absurd rules of H & S are going to severely hamper getting back to work in any sensible way. Coupled with this kind of mentality and the fear mongering from media and the government slogan, it’s no wonder 80% (or whatever the figure is) are too fearful to return to work. God help us should there ever be a war to be fought… One lesson to take out of this is that if you wish to live in a bankrupt, authoritarian state then let healthcare officials run the country. MG, Just so. so you’d happily go up an unsecured ladder with no helmet, use pressure to drill fixings to wall, wobble about struggling to secure the oval dish, hope no gust of wind caught it etc…..or be liable when installer falls off, breaks limbs and off work for months? Fred, I would wager that you regard your financial situation as fairly secure? Unlike a large amount of the population. MG – and your point is? -well whats secure these days? My SIPP has taken a hammering if that makes you feel better. I’m not on bread and water – who is? We have 1 old car – out of principle. No mortgage. But I brought the TIMES article on the plight of people in Blackpool ( and elsewhere) to this diary Christmas time – and made my own humble donation. I’ve 3 children with 3 partners all were working, mortgages, cars, their children in state education. I worry myself sick about their future – do you? No, she’d be happy for someone else to do that. Only those who have worked or fell from a ladder know how dangerous they are if not secured properly or footed by someone else. Seen rather too many people over the years limping about who thought nothing about their own Health and Safety at the time. And a few years ago I painted the rendered outside of my largish house, and the one next door, but anchored the extended ladder all the time, and lodged weighted garden tables etc at the foot. Bloody nervous the whole time, took days and days but got there. Saved me some £ thousands – but didn’t want to pay for the so called pro. I can’t stand and watch people shinning up ladders unsafely I have to go away. Health and Safety rules of engagement would mean that any fighting would be deemed too dangerous. Every cloud has a silver lining. No more war! Yippee! “I do not think it a good idea to say only those who can prove they have had the virus can go to work. The government clearly thinks a majority of the population have not had the virus, otherwise they would be relaxing anyway. Limiting going to work to the minority would be unfair” The problem John seems to be that you are in the minority in thinking the solution to this “unfair” situation is to allow everyone to go to work – polls show a majority seem to think that the solution is that no-one should go back to work. And, for swathes of the public sector, why should they ? Their salaries and pensions are protected either way. We should do what gives the best balance between health outcomes

The problem: We use a program written by our biggest customer to receive orders, book tranports and do other order-related stuff. We have no other chance but to use the program and the customer is very unsupportive when it comes to problems with their program. We just have to live with the program. Now this program is most of the time extremely slow when using it with two or more user so I tried to look behind the curtain and find the source of the problem. Some points about the program I found out so far: * *It's written in VB 6.0 *It uses a password-protected Access-DB (Access 2000 MDB) that is located a folder on one user's machine. *That folder is shared over the network and used by all other users. *It uses the msjet40.dll version 4.00.9704 to communicate with access. I guess it's ADO? I also used Process Monitor to monitor file access and found out why the program is so slow: it is doing thousands of read operations on the mdb-file, even when the program is idle. Over the network this is of course tremendously slow: Process Monitor Trace http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1456/screenshothw5.png The real question: Is there any way to monitor the queries that are responsible for the read activity? Is there a trace flag I can set? Hooking the JET DLL's? I guess the program is doing some expensive queries that are causing JET to read lots of data in the process. PS: I already tried to put the mdb on our company's file server with the success that accessing it was even slower than over the local share. I also tried changing the locking mechanisms (opportunistic locking) on the client with no success. I want to know what's going on and need some hard facts and suggestions for our customer's developer to help him/her make the programm faster. A: To get your grubby hands on exactly what Access is doing query-wise behind the scenes there's an undocumented feature called JETSHOWPLAN - when switched on in the registry it creates a showplan.out text file. The details are in this TechRepublic article alternate, summarized here: The ShowPlan option was added to Jet 3.0, and produces a text file that contains the query's plan. (ShowPlan doesn't support subqueries.)

Want my app to be able to access app store information from the apps url. Is this possible? A: You can use the iTunes Search API: http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html This page can help you better understand how the iTunes Search API works: http://www.phponwebsites.com/2015/03/get-app-details-from-apple-itunes-using-php.html Q: Microsoft JET SQL Query Logging or "How do I debug my customer's program?" The problem: We use a program written by our biggest customer to receive orders, book tranports and do other order-related stuff. We have no other chance but to use the program and the customer is very unsupportive when it comes to problems with their program. We just have to live with the program. Now this program is most of the time extremely slow when using it with two or more user so I tried to look behind the curtain and find the source of the problem. Some points about the program I found out so far: * *It's written in VB 6.0 *It uses a password-protected Access-DB (Access 2000 MDB) that is located a folder on one user's machine. *That folder is shared over the network and used by all other users. *It uses the msjet40.dll version 4.00.9704 to communicate with access. I guess it's ADO? I also used Process Monitor to monitor file access and found out why the program is so slow: it is doing thousands of read operations on the mdb-file, even when the program is idle. Over the network this is of course tremendously slow: Process Monitor Trace http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1456/screenshothw5.png The real question: Is there any way to monitor the queries that are responsible for the read activity? Is there a trace flag I can set? Hooking the JET DLL's? I guess the program is doing some expensive queries that are causing JET to read lots of data in the process. PS: I already tried to put the mdb on our company's file server with the success that accessing it was even slower than over the local share. I also tried changing the locking mechanisms (opportunistic locking) on the client with no success. I want to know what's going on and need some hard facts and suggestions for our customer's developer to help him/her make the programm faster. A: To get your grubby hands on exactly what Access is doing query-wise behind the scenes there's an undocumented feature called JETSHOWPLAN - when switched on in the registry it creates a showplan.out text file. The details are in this TechRepublic article alternate, summarized here: The ShowPlan option was added to Jet 3.0, and produces a text file that contains the query's plan. (ShowPlan doesn't support subqueries.) You must enable it by adding a Debug key to the registry like so: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\JET\4.0\Engines\Debug Under the new Debug key, add a string data type named JETSHOWPLAN (you must use all uppercase letters). Then, add the key value ON to enable the feature. If Access has been running in the background, you must close it and relaunch it for the function to work. When ShowPlan is enabled, Jet creates a text file named SHOWPLAN.OUT (which might end up in your My Documents folder or the current default folder, depending on the version of Jet you're using) every time Jet compiles a query. You can then view this text file for clues to how Jet is running your queries. We

recommend that you disable this feature by changing the key's value to OFF unless you're specifically using it. Jet appends the plan to an existing file and eventually, the process actually slows things down. Turn on the feature only when you need to review a specific query plan. Open the database, run the query, and then disable the feature. For tracking down nightmare problems it's unbeatable - it's the sort of thing you get on your big expensive industrial databases - this feature is cool - it's lovely and fluffy - it's my friend… ;-) A: Could you not throw a packet sniffer (like Wireshark) on the network and watch the traffic between one user and the host machine? A: If it uses an ODBC connection you can enable logging for that. * *Start ODBC Data Source Administrator. *Select the Tracing tab *Select the Start Tracing Now button. *Select Apply or OK. *Run the app for awhile. *Return to ODBC Administrator. *Select the Tracing tab. *Select the Stop Tracing Now button. *The trace can be viewed in the location that you initially specified in the Log file Path box. A: First question: Do you have a copy of MS Access 2000 or better? If so: When you say the MDB is "password protected", do you mean that when you try to open it using MS Access you get a prompt for a password only, or does it prompt you for a user name and password? (Or give you an error message that says, "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the foo.mdb object."?) If it's the latter, (user-level security), look for a corresponding .MDW file that goes along with the MDB. If you find it, this is the "workgroup information file" that is used as a "key" for opening the MDB. Try making a desktop shortcut with a target like: "Path to MSACCESS.EXE" "Path To foo.mdb" /wrkgrp "Path to foo.mdw" MS Access should then prompt you for your user name and password which is (hopefully) the same as what the VB6 app asks you for. This would at least allow you to open the MDB file and look at the table structure to see if there are any obvious design flaws. Beyond that, as far as I know, Eduardo is correct that you pretty much need to be able to run a debugger on the developer's source code to find out exactly what the real-time queries are doing... A: It is not possible without the help of the developers. Sorry. Q: Android Espresso: checking if a TextView is showing a formatted string from resource Suppose you have a formatted string like this: <string name="saving">You saved %1$s with %2$s</string> now if you want to check if your TextView is showing it correctly, so naturally, something like this would work: Espresso.onView(withId(R.id.tv)) .check(matches(withText(R.string.saving))) but it doesn't and I cannot check the text with hardcoded strings because it might be on another language. so is there even a way for that? A: Maybe something like: Espresso.onView(withId(R.id.tv)) .perform(object :ViewAction{ override fun getDescription(): String { return "Normalizing the string" } override fun getConstraints(): Matcher<View> { return isAssignableFrom(TextView::class.java) } override fun perform(uiController: UiController?, view: View?) { val tv = view as TextView if (tv.text.matches(Regex("You saved (.)*? with (.)*"))) { tv.text = "You saved %1\$s with %2\$s" } } }).check(matches(withText(R.string.saving))) Q: How to draw ellipses in Scilab with orientation? The existing functions xarc draw an ellipse, but the semi-major axes are aligned with the plot axes. Is there a way to 'rotate' the ellipse so it has an orientation that is not with the plot axes?

adoxically, not much known about the presidential front runner.... Unlike Jokowi, Bakrie and Prabowo have issued clear manifestos of what they stand for. Jokowi's poorer showing is put down in part to the unexpectedly good showing of Islamic parties in the parliamentary poll as they moved to the "centre of the political spectrum, and away from a doctrinaire Islamic position"; http://khoryuleng.blogspot.com/2014/04/indonesia-electoral-politics-and-palm.html refer to Greg Fealy's analysis. Jokowi. Articles on Jokowi in Tempo: http://www.tempo.co/topik/tokoh/613/Jokowi--Joko-Widodo. Channel News Asia;13 Apr 2014; http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/indonesia-poll-outcome/1069710.html; Prospects for much-needed reforms in Southeast Asia's top economy are in doubt after a worse-than-expected election performance by the main opposition left Indonesia staring at an unwieldy coalition government, analysts warn. JAKARTA - Some 187 million voters in Indonesia head to the polls Wednesday in parliamentary elections that will have a big influence on the country's presidential poll in July; Current electoral laws stipulate that a party or coalition of parties must win 25 percent of the popular vote or 20 percent of seats in the national parliament to nominate a presidential candidate.... But polls show that only one party, the Democratic Party of Struggle or PDI-P, will definitely pass the threshold... Known locally as Jokowi, the Jakarta governor is wildly popular for his reputation for transparency and his hands-on approach to governance.... After his presidential bid was confirmed last month, the PDI-P’s popularity jumped from 27 to 37 percent in a widely watched opinion poll. The same poll showed the next closest party lagging 20 percent behind.... Professor Jemadu said it is too soon to call a Widodo presidential victory a certainty, but he said it is clear Indonesian voters want change.... A relative outsider with no connection to the country’s political elite, Joko Widodo is being touted as a new breed of Indonesian politician... Nonetheless, even as Widodo offers hope and change, the voting system is riddled with corruption... Since the collapse of Suharto’s 32-year authoritarian rule, this year marks the fourth time Indonesians will democratically elect their parliament... Results for the parliamentary election will be officially announced by May 9, but a quick count of the polls is expected within 24 hours. Khor Reports comment: What impact on regulatory changes relating to the palm oil supply chain, including on foreign ownership limit? There is a target to get this done before the end of the current presidential term. The presidential election will be on 9 July 2014. Currently, all the ministries relevant to palm oil are held by different political parties. This is regarded as having stymied more coordinated policy actions. According to news reports, there are few policy differences between the parties; Jokowi has been silent on PDI-P's policy platform while Golkar has promoted resource protectionism. We'll find out more from friends in Jakarta once these results are in and the Presidential campaigns heat up. A new product has hit the market.

adoxically, not much known about the presidential front runner.... Unlike Jokowi, Bakrie and Prabowo have issued clear manifestos of what they stand for. Jokowi's poorer showing is put down in part to the unexpectedly good showing of Islamic parties in the parliamentary poll as they moved to the "centre of the political spectrum, and away from a doctrinaire Islamic position"; http://khoryuleng.blogspot.com/2014/04/indonesia-electoral-politics-and-palm.html refer to Greg Fealy's analysis. Jokowi. Articles on Jokowi in Tempo: http://www.tempo.co/topik/tokoh/613/Jokowi--Joko-Widodo. Channel News Asia;13 Apr 2014; http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapacific/indonesia-poll-outcome/1069710.html; Prospects for much-needed reforms in Southeast Asia's top economy are in doubt after a worse-than-expected election performance by the main opposition left Indonesia staring at an unwieldy coalition government, analysts warn. JAKARTA - Some 187 million voters in Indonesia head to the polls Wednesday in parliamentary elections that will have a big influence on the country's presidential poll in July; Current electoral laws stipulate that a party or coalition of parties must win 25 percent of the popular vote or 20 percent of seats in the national parliament to nominate a presidential candidate.... But polls show that only one party, the Democratic Party of Struggle or PDI-P, will definitely pass the threshold... Known locally as Jokowi, the Jakarta governor is wildly popular for his reputation for transparency and his hands-on approach to governance.... After his presidential bid was confirmed last month, the PDI-P’s popularity jumped from 27 to 37 percent in a widely watched opinion poll. The same poll showed the next closest party lagging 20 percent behind.... Professor Jemadu said it is too soon to call a Widodo presidential victory a certainty, but he said it is clear Indonesian voters want change.... A relative outsider with no connection to the country’s political elite, Joko Widodo is being touted as a new breed of Indonesian politician... Nonetheless, even as Widodo offers hope and change, the voting system is riddled with corruption... Since the collapse of Suharto’s 32-year authoritarian rule, this year marks the fourth time Indonesians will democratically elect their parliament... Results for the parliamentary election will be officially announced by May 9, but a quick count of the polls is expected within 24 hours. Khor Reports comment: What impact on regulatory changes relating to the palm oil supply chain, including on foreign ownership limit? There is a target to get this done before the end of the current presidential term. The presidential election will be on 9 July 2014. Currently, all the ministries relevant to palm oil are held by different political parties. This is regarded as having stymied more coordinated policy actions. According to news reports, there are few policy differences between the parties; Jokowi has been silent on PDI-P's policy platform while Golkar has promoted resource protectionism. We'll find out more from friends in Jakarta once these results are in and the Presidential campaigns heat up. A new product has hit the market.

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Fifteen-hundred people walked through Harrisburg holding colorful lanterns to celebrate survivors and remember those who passed away from cancer. The annual celebration, Light The Night Walk, was back in Harrisburg. But this time it started in a different location. The event this year was held for the first time on State Street in front of the Capitol. The walk is held every year by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to raise money to help fund research and patient services. Tara Reyka, the senior director of development, said, "There's white (lanterns) for survivors, red for supporters, and gold for in memory of. And we're all here as a community walking to the end of cancer tonight." FOX43's own Trenice Bishop emceed the event. Above: Mark Zuckerberg testifies in front of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared today before nearly half of the U.S. Senate to respond to questions related to monopoly and regulation, to explain what Facebook is doing to protect democratic processes around the world, and to address what Zuckerberg has repeatedly described as a breach of trust between his company and its users. The year ahead, Zuckerberg said, will be incredibly important, not just for the U.S. midterm elections in November but also for elections in countries like Pakistan, Brazil, and Mexico. Zuckerberg testified before a joint hearing of the U.S. Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees. Combined, the two have 44 members, or near half of the U.S. Senate. While other Facebook executives, like COO Sheryl Sandberg and chief counsel Colin Stretch, have made trips to Washington D.C. to meet with or testify before legislators since the 2016 presidential election, today is Zuckerberg’s first such appearance before a Congressional committee. He is also scheduled to testify Wednesday before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. In the days following the 2016 election, Zuckerberg called the claim that Facebook was used to spread disinformation and influence the outcome of the U.S. presidential race a “pretty crazy idea.” His assertion began to unravel last fall, however, and fell apart a few weeks ago with revelations about Cambridge Analytica’s misuse of Facebook data. On March 16, Facebook released a statement saying it would suspend SCL Group and its company Cambridge Analytica from using the Facebook Platform due to improper use of data. In the days that followed, news outlets speaking with former Cambridge Analytica head of research Christopher Wylie reported that 50 million people’s personal data was retrieved

He signed with the club he departed mid-way through 2016, the Wests Tigers, but only on a part-time contract with the Western Suburbs Magpies’ Intrust Super Premiership NSW team. Coach Brett Hodgson played a major role in securing Drinkwater’s services in 2018 from their time in England. “We got relegated, it’s pretty tough one year into a three-year deal and that’s part of the footy over there,” Drinkwater tells NSWRL.com.au. “I came home and knew ‘Hodgo’ from my time in England; he coached against me over there so was pretty keen to link up with him, he’s been great for me. “He’s terrific, I can’t speak highly enough of him for us part-time boys as we do long days, but when we come to training he just makes it a very good environment; I want to rip in and work hard and have a bit fun. “[England] was a good experience, it didn’t really work out the way we wanted over there with relegation, but it was good to be a part of it.” For the third week in a row, Drinkwater has been selected at halfback in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW team of the week. His form has been outstanding for the Magpies, who have won three out of four games with their only defeat being a one-point loss to Wyong where they relinquished a 16-point lead, a game in which Drinkwater still created three tries. Drinkwater hopes to play well enough to secure a full-time contract. “I’m happy to be back here, even though it’s part-time,” Drinkwater says. “I want to get back into a full-time environment ASAP, but at the moment I’m just enjoying it. “I’ve just got to play good footy each week, it’s a lot different being a part-time player going to work during the day. “You’ve just got to knuckle down and have the right attitude and hopefully something pops up.” The Wests Tigers' season has thus far travelled a similar path to the Magpies, with their only defeat coming from a controversial golden-point defeat at the hands of the Brisbane Broncos. It is no doubt a happy club at the moment, and Drinkwater says the success in the NRL filters down to the Intrust Super Premiership NSW side. “[The Wests Tig

ers] have got a pretty steep squad, so they’ve got a lot of depth which means that the players that come back to us they’re all NRL players, and that helps,” Drinkwater says. “We’re getting full-time boys back and they’re coming back with the right attitude and us part-time boys we’re working hard during the week. “I think everyone’s working hard and everyone’s sort of buying into what we’re doing. “We were pretty disappointed after last week giving away a lead and to come out and put 48 points on them, it was a good effort.” Drinkwater’s point of NRL players having the right attitude in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW is proven by the actions of Sauaso Sue. Sue didn’t play in the Wests Tigers victory yesterday, instead, he was a part of the Magpies victory, but there is footage of him passionately belting out the team song with the first-grade squad as if he had played. There is certainly positivity flying around Concord at the moment, with Drinkwater playing a major part in the Western Suburbs Magpies’ early success.

The level of the River Acre significantly influenced the occurrence of leptospirosis (RR 1.07 - 95%CI 1.02;1.14): each additional meter in the average monthly level of the river was associated with a 7% increase in monthly leptospirosis incidence. The number of days with precipitation in the month also showed significant influence on leptospirosis occurrence: each additional day of precipitation in the month was associated with a 4% increase in monthly leptospirosis incidence (RR 1.04 - 95%CI 1.00;1.07) (Table 1). The average moving parameter (Q) showed a significant value which was also different from zero (p=0.050), thus confirming the choice of order in the GARMA model. The dispersion parameter (s) was also different from zero and was significant (p=0.002), thus confirming that the negative binomial model was the most correct for this analysis (Table 1). The results found through these analyses show that in the municipality of Rio Branco, the amount of days per month with precipitation and the average monthly level of the river can influence the occurrence of leptospirosis, causing increases of 4.0% and 7.0% in the incidence of the disease, respectively. These variables can represent indicators for forecasting trends in the occurrence of leptospirosis in this and the other municipalities in the Amazon Region, given that these municipalities have very similar environments and climates. It is known that heavy rain and flooding are indeed mainly responsible for epidemic outbreaks of leptospirosis in tropical and underdeveloped countries, especially when combined with environmental pollution and the presence of rodents.44.

During these floods leptospirosis, which is concentrated in the ground during dry periods, spreads to more distant areas and affects population groups exposed to floodwater. Individuals living in areas close to breeding grounds generally have contact with the infectious agent more quickly and more frequently, thus resulting in the outbreaks that typically occur 3 to 5 weeks following flooding, as the incubation period is usually 7 to 12 days.11.

At its new location in the Brookfield Square shopping center in suburban Milwaukee, guests can enjoy dinner and a movie in the premium SuperScreen DLX theatre. It is the first full theatre complex in the U.S. to exclusively feature JBL Sculpted Surround and Dolby Atmos. The main auditorium is equipped with Dolby Atmos immersive audio; the seven other theatres feature 7.1 Surround Sound. Bright Star Systems recently installed JBL Professional cinema loudspeakers, DSi 2.0 amplifiers and Crown DCi amplifiers, following the JBL Sculpted Surround specification in the 7.1-equipped theaters. Sculpted Surround relies on precisely calibrated JBL loudspeakers in a specific configuration to widen the sweet spot in the auditorium for balanced sound in every row. “We had been handling most of the work for Marcus on their last four new builds,” said Dave Lund, senior consultant, Bright Star Systems. “We came in as the integrator, we got the construction drawings, and we handled the projection and sound in the theater auditorium. We took into consideration how big the screens are, what kind of ceilings they were going to put in, and we handled all of the technical work. We are also the primary service agent for a majority of the Marcus theatres.” The JBL Sculpted Surround specification involves specific loudspeaker models in a precise configuration to provide a premium experience for the entire audience. Behind the screen, JBL C222 and C222HP ScreenArray loudspeakers feature Dual Dissimilar Array technology, each with two horns at different angles and output levels to provide equal volume from the front row to the back. Along the sidewalls, JBL 9310 cinema surround loudspeakers feature a built-in 15-degree angle toward the screen to minimize the rearward bias common in traditional setups.

At its new location in the Brookfield Square shopping center in suburban Milwaukee, guests can enjoy dinner and a movie in the premium SuperScreen DLX theatre. It is the first full theatre complex in the U.S. to exclusively feature JBL Sculpted Surround and Dolby Atmos. The main auditorium is equipped with Dolby Atmos immersive audio; the seven other theatres feature 7.1 Surround Sound. Bright Star Systems recently installed JBL Professional cinema loudspeakers, DSi 2.0 amplifiers and Crown DCi amplifiers, following the JBL Sculpted Surround specification in the 7.1-equipped theaters. Sculpted Surround relies on precisely calibrated JBL loudspeakers in a specific configuration to widen the sweet spot in the auditorium for balanced sound in every row. “We had been handling most of the work for Marcus on their last four new builds,” said Dave Lund, senior consultant, Bright Star Systems. “We came in as the integrator, we got the construction drawings, and we handled the projection and sound in the theater auditorium. We took into consideration how big the screens are, what kind of ceilings they were going to put in, and we handled all of the technical work. We are also the primary service agent for a majority of the Marcus theatres.” The JBL Sculpted Surround specification involves specific loudspeaker models in a precise configuration to provide a premium experience for the entire audience. Behind the screen, JBL C222 and C222HP ScreenArray loudspeakers feature Dual Dissimilar Array technology, each with two horns at different angles and output levels to provide equal volume from the front row to the back. Along the sidewalls, JBL 9310 cinema surround loudspeakers feature a built-in 15-degree angle toward the screen to minimize the rearward bias common in traditional setups. At the rear of the theater, two JBL 9350 high-power rear surround loudspeakers provide wide, even coverage, eliminating the volume buildup created by traditional rear surround arrays. Together, this configuration provides balanced, spatially accurate sound for the majority of seats. “I had used the JBL 9310 and 9350 speakers previously in other installations,” said Lund. “I particularly like the output characteristics, the light weight and all the things that everybody likes about those JBL surrounds. The degree of advanced technology, which I try to apply in an engineering-centric way, gave me tools I never had before. The 200 Series is a home run.

I was astounded by, given the cost package, just how effective they really were in providing what I would call truly lifelike cinema sound.” To power the 7.1 and Dolby Atmos speaker arrays, Bright star Systems selected JBL DSi 2.0 and Crown DCi amplifiers. Designed specifically for cinema amplification, JBL DSi 2.0 amplifiers are engineered to meet the exact power requirements of JBL cinema speakers and come pre-loaded with JBL speaker presets. The DSi 2.0 MA4-D model deployed at the Movie Tavern features Dante and AES-67 digital connectivity for a completely networked system. Crown DCi Series amplifiers provide additional amplification, featuring ultra-efficient DriveCore technology. HiQnet Audio Architect software allows Bright Star Systems to remotely monitor the performance of all amplifiers and make adjustments to keep the system working at optimal capacity. “This was a great opportunity to really have a showcase for JBL, and part of that showcase is our Sculpted Surround,” said Mark Collins, senior manager, global cinema, Harman Professional Solutions. “We really tried to make that an integral part of the project, and it's really come together well. I've talked to the senior VP of operations for Marcus Theatres, and they are very pleased with what came out of it.” Harman http://pro.harman.com/ JBL Sculpted Sound Premium Large Format Theatre Sound Home :: 2006 International RERTR Meeting :: Related Documents Abstracts and Available Papers Presented at the Meeting Update on Uranium-Molybdenum Fuel Foil Fabrication Development at the Y-12 National Security Complex R. Dunavant, A. DeMint, J. Holt Y-12 National Security Complex Oak Ridge, TN 37831-8245 The Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors (RERTR) Program was initiated by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) with the goal of developing the technologies necessary for research reactor core conversions from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium (LEU). Many of the remaining HEU research reactors have fissile atom density requirements too high to be met by existing LEU fuel types, thus forcing new fuel developments. The most promising of which has been the production of high-density, LEU, monolithic uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) fuels, in which the fuel meat is comprised entirely of a single foil of the U-Mo alloy. In support of RERTR program goals, efforts are underway at Y-12 to develop and validate a production oriented, monolithic U-Mo foil fabrication process adaptable for potential implementation in a manufacturing environment. These efforts also include providing full-scale prototype enriched U-Mo foils to the RERTR program in support of qualification testing. The work will be approached in three phases. The initial phase of the work at Y-12 consists of the development and demonstration of foil fabrication process techniques utilizing DU-10Mo source material. The next phase of the work will be to transition the production techniques from depleted to enriched uranium and to provide enriched U-Mo test foils. The final phase of the work will evaluate full-scale implementation of the developed production techniques. Y-12 has completed the initial phase of the work via the development of production techniques and the successful fabrication of DU-10Mo foils. A description of Y-12's endeavors regarding the execution of these efforts is presented herein.

57, 3,000 people lined the streets to pay their respects. Fourteen cars overflowed with flowers. The wail of a 12-piece marching band filled the streets of the neighborhood that Roti Sr. had called home for nearly five decades, since leaving his small village of Simbario in southern Italy in 1909. Nearly 100 men wearing black sashes across their chests escorted the hearse through the neighborhood today known as Chinatown. They were members of an organization Roti founded -- the Society of St. Rocco di Simbario. It was a funeral fit for a cardinal. Or a mayor. According to his death certificate, Bruno Roti Sr., dead at 76, was a beer distributor. To people in his tightly knit Italian neighborhood, Roti Sr. was their leader. Years after Roti's death, his godson, in a recorded interview he gave in 1980 for the "Italians in Chicago" project run by the history department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, recalled him as a man who showed immigrants a "clean, decent, respectable way of life.'' To Chicago Police, though, Roti Sr. was "The Bomber," "The Mustache," "a big man in the Chicago crime setup." In the early part of the century, he was part of the Black Hand, police said -- the name given to loose-knit gangs of extortionists who preyed on fellow Italian immigrants for money. The Black Hand gangs would be taken over in the 1920s by Al Capone's gang. "Roti was close to Al Capone and was visited by Capone on many occasions,'' according to an FBI report prepared nine years after his death. The FBI identified Roti Sr. as the leader of what would become the Chicago Outfit's 26th Street/Chinatown crew, a key cog in organized crime here. His descendants would build upon his legacy, extending the family's influence over public office and organized labor. A neighborhood grocer Bruno Roti Sr. visited Chicago in 1901, then returned eight years later for good, according to the passenger manifest of the ship -- named La Bretagne -- that brought him to America when he was 28. Roti passed through Ellis Island in the spring of 1909 on his way to Chicago to join his two brothers and his pregnant wife's siblings. Wife Marianna Bertucci Roti and the couple's two sons stayed behind in Simbario, joining Roti in Chicago seven months later, according to his petitions for citizenship. Roti Sr. became a grocer, operating a store in the 2100 block of South Wentworth, according to a Chicago city directory from 1917. Chicago -- booming with hundreds of thousands of immigrants -- was a brutal place, with gangland killings, immigrants preying upon each other, rampant vice. Roti Sr. himself was arrested twice in murder investigations. The first time, in 1920, he was picked up with four others in the slaying of labor leader Maurice "Moss'' Enright, according to newspaper accounts. Enright was trying to take over the city's street sweeper union. Police suspected Roti had disposed of the sawed-off shotgun that was used to kill Enright. But he was never charged. As Prohibition-era violence raged, Roti Sr. was charged in a killing in 1931, according to newspaper accounts. At the time, he was 51 and the father of 10 children. One of his sons, then 10 years old, was Fred Bruno Roti, who would grow up to be a powerful Chicago alderman -- and, according to the FBI, a "made" member of the mob. The victim was Johnny Genero, a gangster who was driving to his mother's house with another man when his car was trapped by another car at 29th and Normal. Genero was shot in the head. He died instantly. His companion wasn't harmed. Police arrested Roti Sr., described in newspaper reports as a saloonkeeper, and four others, including James Belcastro. Belcastro, nicknamed "King of the Bombers,'' had been arrested more than 150 times. Among his alleged crimes: the 1928 murder of a political candidate and the operation of a bomb factory. He wasn'

Section 542.33 shall continue to govern enforcement of restrictive covenants entered into before July 1, 1996. History.—s. 2, ch. 96-257. (1) Notwithstanding s. 542.18 and subsection (2), enforcement of contracts that restrict or prohibit competition during or after the term of restrictive covenants, so long as such contracts are reasonable in time, area, and line of business, is not prohibited. In any action concerning enforcement of a restrictive covenant: (a) A court shall not enforce a restrictive covenant unless it is set forth in a writing signed by the person against whom enforcement is sought. (b) The person seeking enforcement of a restrictive covenant shall plead and prove the existence of one or more legitimate business interests justifying the restrictive covenant. The term “legitimate business interest” includes, but is not limited to: 1. Trade secrets, as defined in s. 688.002(4). 2. Valuable confidential business or professional information that otherwise does not qualify as trade secrets. 3. Substantial relationships with specific prospective or existing customers, patients, or clients. 4. Customer, patient, or client goodwill associated with: a. An ongoing business or professional practice, by way of trade name, trademark, service mark, or “trade dress”; b. A specific geographic location; or c. A specific marketing or trade area. 5. Extraordinary or specialized training. Any restrictive covenant not supported by a legitimate business interest is unlawful and is void and unenforceable. (c) A person seeking enforcement of a restrictive covenant also shall plead and prove that the contractually specified restraint is reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest or interests justifying the restriction. If a person seeking enforcement of the restrictive covenant establishes prima facie that the restraint is reasonably necessary, the person opposing enforcement has the burden of establishing that the contractually specified restraint is overbroad, overlong, or otherwise not reasonably necessary to protect the established legitimate business interest or interests. If a contractually specified restraint is overbroad, overlong, or otherwise not reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interest or interests, a court shall modify the restraint and grant only the relief reasonably necessary to protect such interest or interests. (d) In determining the reasonableness in time of a postterm restrictive covenant not predicated upon the protection of trade secrets, a court shall apply the following rebuttable presumptions: 1. In the case of a restrictive covenant sought to be enforced against a former employee, agent, or independent contractor, and not associated with the sale of all or a part of: a. The assets of a business or professional practice, or b. The shares of a corporation, or c. A partnership interest, or d. A limited liability company membership, or e. An equity interest, of any other type, in a business or professional practice, a court shall presume reasonable in time any restraint 6 months or less in duration and shall presume unreasonable in time any restraint more than 2 years in duration. 2. In the case of a restrictive covenant sought to be enforced against a former distributor, dealer, franchisee, or licensee of a trademark or service mark and not associated with the sale of all or a part of: a court shall presume reasonable in time any restraint 1 year or less in duration and shall presume unreasonable in time any restraint more than 3 years in duration. 3. In the case of a restrictive covenant sought to be enforced against the seller of all or a part of: a court shall presume reasonable in time any restraint 3 years or less in duration and shall presume unreasonable in time any restraint more than 7 years in duration.

Lamm Calls for 'Better Health Care Through Rationing' Obama Supporter ACORN Under Withering Government Fire British Agent: Obama's Failure, a 'Failure' of U.S. Constitutional System From Volume 36, Issue 38 of EIR Online, Published Oct. 2, 2009 United States News Digest Sept. 24 (EIRNS)—Former Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm emerged from his crypt in academia, to post an article under the above title on HuffingtonPost.com. Lamm came to national notoriety in the early 1980s, when, as governor, he publicly argued that America's elderly have a "duty to die" and get out of the way of the younger generations. In effect, he was the public relations grandfather of Presidential advisor Ezekiel Emanuel and of Newsweek's recent cover feature, "The Case For Killing Granny." In today's article, Lamm puts forward defenses otherwise advanced in some "health-care reform" circles. "We already ration," Lamm says. "We ration whenever we make choices among the claims of individuals who are competing for scarce resources. Government, mainly through Medicaid and Medicare, pays for approximately 50% of the cost of U.S. health care.... Having undertaken to fund some health care, public policy must be accountable for the consequences of the decision to cover some Americans and not cover others." After summarizing the rising costs of medical care, and its percentage of GNP, Lamm lies that "We are delivering, and the public is expecting, more medicine than we can possibly afford to sustain." He argues, as has Emanuel, that rationing is inevitable in health reform.

Lamm Calls for 'Better Health Care Through Rationing' Obama Supporter ACORN Under Withering Government Fire British Agent: Obama's Failure, a 'Failure' of U.S. Constitutional System From Volume 36, Issue 38 of EIR Online, Published Oct. 2, 2009 United States News Digest Sept. 24 (EIRNS)—Former Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm emerged from his crypt in academia, to post an article under the above title on HuffingtonPost.com. Lamm came to national notoriety in the early 1980s, when, as governor, he publicly argued that America's elderly have a "duty to die" and get out of the way of the younger generations. In effect, he was the public relations grandfather of Presidential advisor Ezekiel Emanuel and of Newsweek's recent cover feature, "The Case For Killing Granny." In today's article, Lamm puts forward defenses otherwise advanced in some "health-care reform" circles. "We already ration," Lamm says. "We ration whenever we make choices among the claims of individuals who are competing for scarce resources. Government, mainly through Medicaid and Medicare, pays for approximately 50% of the cost of U.S. health care.... Having undertaken to fund some health care, public policy must be accountable for the consequences of the decision to cover some Americans and not cover others." After summarizing the rising costs of medical care, and its percentage of GNP, Lamm lies that "We are delivering, and the public is expecting, more medicine than we can possibly afford to sustain." He argues, as has Emanuel, that rationing is inevitable in health reform. In reality, Lamm is advocating genocide, because he supports the current system of bailing out the thieving bankers, and deindustrializing the world—an intentional path toward depopulation. This is hardly a new viewpoint on health care and the economy, for Lamm. In November 1984, for instance, he asserted on the CBS "Morning News," that "the problem we have here with high-tech medicine is that really, the Faustian bargain, where in fact what we get for a few extra days of life, all we have to

do is pay the price that could bankrupt the country. These things are awesomely expensive. America cannot afford the health care we have right now." The difference is that in the early 1980s, Lamm and his queer views were relegated to some odd corner of the Addams Family ghoul house. Now, his views have gained entree to the White House. Sept. 24 (EIRNS)—The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the community organizing vehicle created in the waning days of the New Left's late-1960s heyday, which reportedly was heavily involved in "on the ground" support-building for Barack Obama's presidential campaign, continues to find itself abandoned by its erstwhile friends and funders in government. Recent scandalous videotapes of ACORN personnel offering advice on setting up a prostitution business, coming shortly in the wake of ACORN having turned in a number of its own people to the State of Florida for voter registration fraud, appear to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. Last week, the U.S. Senate voted to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN; the House (including 172 Democrats) voted days later to cut all federal funding for ACORN; and the Census Bureau announced it was cutting ties with ACORN. Crain's Chicago Business reported yesterday, that Census Bureau Director Robert Groves told a press conference in Washington that the existence of ACORN as a Census Bureau partner was actually impeding the bureau's ability to sign up other groups as partners, because of ACORN's negative publicity. And, AP reported today that IRS said Sept. 23 that it would no longer include ACORN in its volunteer tax assistance program, which offered free tax advice to about 3 million low and moderate income tax filers this past Spring. ACORN has taken several rearguard actions, including hiring a former Massachusetts Attorney General to conduct an "outside review" of its legal problems, and filing a lawsuit in Maryland under the state's wiretap law, against the "reporters" who produced the scandal videos, and the Washington Times columnist who masterminded the publicity about them. But this appears to have had little effect on the avalanche ACORN is facing. Meanwhile, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, who was the sponsor of the House legislation to defund ACORN, on Sept. 23 asked the House Judiciary Committee to summon Bertha Lewis, ACORN founder Wade Rathke, and other ACORN officers for a hearing on its activities. Issa has also requested the Treasury Department conduct a review of IRS oversight of ACORN and similar organizations; and The Hill reported today that Treasury's Inspector General has agreed to do so. Issa elaborated on his request, "The lack of an appropriate firewall between ACORN's charitable activities and its political arm has raised significant questions regarding the appropriateness of their status as a taxable nonprofit corporation and their management of federal dollars. Cutting ties with ACORN is a good first step for the federal government, but since they have been the recipients of taxpayer dollars, we have an obligation to investigate to discover whether or not those dollars were misused in any way." Sept. 22 (EIRNS)—An attack on President Barack Obama published in the London Guardian today, is more honest than most of such, now-frequent attacks appearing in British dailies. The article states that the reason Obama has been unable to impose British policies upon the United States, is the republican political system established by the U.S. Constitution. That system is what London demands be ripped apart. "Obama The Impotent," as the Guardian piece is titled, complains that Obama's "oratorical skills," which so excited people worldwide, have not proved sufficient to get the United States to lead on climate change or financial reform or health-care reform—the key points of British policy. "A sinking feeling is arising among many that President Obama may not be up to the task, that he may not possess the artful skills needed to accomplish even his own goals," author Steven Hill writes. "But it must be recognised that it's not just Obama's shortcomings that are causing the problem. "The very structure

Must try this recipe asap. Thanks fro sharing. GF donuts, I can’t wait to try them, it’s been 5 long years since I had a donut. Love the glaze as well! Thank you so much.

I voted for you. You’re #2 with a bullet. Good luck! Thank you Winston, love your duck too! You just can’t go wrong with pumpkin – it is so delicious and so versatile. The doughnuts look delicious. I voted! Looks like a great weekend ahead – can you bring some of these doughnuts? Hi Maureen, it was great to see you on the weekend – sorry I couldn’t bring any of these over. Maybe next time EDB is in Sydney I will. Thank you for the vote too. Wow, those donuts look awesome! I love making sweets and treats for my hubby, friends and family! Thanks for the opportunity. Good luck Miri, I didn’t realise this. I’m always lured in by the doughnut recipes, then saddened when I remember the pretty little rings require a special pan. These are so tempting! So craving these right now. Both Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon had an ice cream at some point and Stephen’s has won the public over. It’s really yum (full of sugar, etc) but yum. your donuts look great, thanks for the great giveaway ive always wanted a donut pan just never really had the founds. Wow! Yummy! Thanks for hosting this giveaway! WOW, I just made these for breakfast and they are amazing! The spices are perfect and the doughnuts have the perfect soft on the inside, yet crunchy on top consistency. YUM! I needed to use about 1/2 c more liquid to get the dough to form, but I guess that really depends on the moisture of your pumpkin and the flours you use (I used part coconut flour). Thanks so much for sharing this winner with us, Martyna! Thanks for trying the recipe and the tips Laura, glad you liked them! those donuts sounds so good. i knew i shouldn’t have looked at them before going to bed. now i just want one. Thankyou for the opportunity; this would be very welcome in my household! You always have amazing food photography to entertain us whenever we visit your blog and it’s been so much fun. I love donuts and pumpkin spice + cacao icing seem like a perfect donut flavor that I’d enjoy with my coffee! Really nice!!! Argh! This would make gluten free doughnuts so much easier to make! I have tried making them before and cutting with a glass, but it was very tricky and the dough got stuck everywhere. :S Those pictures of your pumpkin spice doughnuts look edible themselves! Wow these sound amazing. with a toddler who is allergic to just about everything these will be amazing. will try them tomorrow!!! It looks so yummy. My little is gonna love it! Oh, my gosh. Those donuts look AMAZING! It’s probably for the best that vegan donuts are not widely

More than 67,000 people tuned into Twitch and watched live as Renault Sport Team Vitality scored the winning goal of the Rocket League Championship Series, with a 4-1 win over G2 Esports in the Grand Final. After recently claiming the European title, Renault Sport Team Vitality is now crowned World Champions. The quality of play in Newark, New Jersey over this weekend has never been higher. After five fierce final games and a rocky day two, Victor ‘Fairy Peak’ Locquet, Kyle ‘Scrub Killa’ Robertson, and Alexandre ‘Kaydop’ Courant team’s dynamic ensured their win. Scrub Killa, in particular, played flawlessly throughout the weekend and his level of skill and defence arguably brought Renault Sport Team Vitality’s win. During the Intense weekend of games, twelve of the best Rocket League teams in the world battled it out. Renault Sport Team Vitality had to compete against some exceptional teams including Cloud9 and NRG, beating them both. Renault Sport Team Vitality and G2 Esports found themselves in the grand finals after both coming off hot streaks in the semi-finals. With two matches going overtime, in the fifth game, a quick Renault Sport Team Vitality counter-attack left G2 open at the back where Victor ‘Fairy Peak’ Locquet was able to score the winning move. “It’s an incredible feeling. Winning this title today is the result of 6 months of intense work and I’m so glad to win it, with more than teammates but friends” shared Scrub Killa (SCT) who became MVP of the tournament. 2020 Shelter in Place Alphabet Movie Draft - BONUS ROUNDS Thread starter Jack Jack Löwenherz All right, let's get right to the main reason I lobbied to extend this little exercise into double overtime. Back in the halcyon days of physical rentals from brick-and-mortar Blockbusters when I was still a kid, my parents would regularly pick up a couple movies for the weekend while I snagged myself a Nintendo game. Sometimes I watched their movie choice with them, but usually I sequestered myself away in my room with my gaming prize while they slogged through whatever boring grown-up stuff they'd dragged home. My introduction to my next pick played out per the norm. I never watched this film with my parents, instead spending that time helping Mega Man overcome the evil Dr. Wily. But I left my room for a snack or something right as the credits rolled, and I distinctly remember hearing my dad say "Eh, pretty good. I don't need to see it again." That really stuck with me. I remember being confused, a little saddened, hurt even, by the comment. Believe it or not, I actually felt sorry for whatever movie my dad was describing in such flippant terms. In my adolescent mind, things were either awesome or terrible, and only the terrible deserved to be forgotten. To hear my dad describe something as good enough to enjoy, but not good enough to remember struck a nerve. I wanted to somehow rescue this film from the abyss of obscurity to which I knew my dad had just banished it.

More than 67,000 people tuned into Twitch and watched live as Renault Sport Team Vitality scored the winning goal of the Rocket League Championship Series, with a 4-1 win over G2 Esports in the Grand Final. After recently claiming the European title, Renault Sport Team Vitality is now crowned World Champions. The quality of play in Newark, New Jersey over this weekend has never been higher. After five fierce final games and a rocky day two, Victor ‘Fairy Peak’ Locquet, Kyle ‘Scrub Killa’ Robertson, and Alexandre ‘Kaydop’ Courant team’s dynamic ensured their win. Scrub Killa, in particular, played flawlessly throughout the weekend and his level of skill and defence arguably brought Renault Sport Team Vitality’s win. During the Intense weekend of games, twelve of the best Rocket League teams in the world battled it out. Renault Sport Team Vitality had to compete against some exceptional teams including Cloud9 and NRG, beating them both. Renault Sport Team Vitality and G2 Esports found themselves in the grand finals after both coming off hot streaks in the semi-finals. With two matches going overtime, in the fifth game, a quick Renault Sport Team Vitality counter-attack left G2 open at the back where Victor ‘Fairy Peak’ Locquet was able to score the winning move. “It’s an incredible feeling. Winning this title today is the result of 6 months of intense work and I’m so glad to win it, with more than teammates but friends” shared Scrub Killa (SCT) who became MVP of the tournament. 2020 Shelter in Place Alphabet Movie Draft - BONUS ROUNDS Thread starter Jack Jack Löwenherz All right, let's get right to the main reason I lobbied to extend this little exercise into double overtime. Back in the halcyon days of physical rentals from brick-and-mortar Blockbusters when I was still a kid, my parents would regularly pick up a couple movies for the weekend while I snagged myself a Nintendo game. Sometimes I watched their movie choice with them, but usually I sequestered myself away in my room with my gaming prize while they slogged through whatever boring grown-up stuff they'd dragged home. My introduction to my next pick played out per the norm. I never watched this film with my parents, instead spending that time helping Mega Man overcome the evil Dr. Wily. But I left my room for a snack or something right as the credits rolled, and I distinctly remember hearing my dad say "Eh, pretty good. I don't need to see it again." That really stuck with me. I remember being confused, a little saddened, hurt even, by the comment. Believe it or not, I actually felt sorry for whatever movie my dad was describing in such flippant terms. In my adolescent mind, things were either awesome or terrible, and only the terrible deserved to be forgotten. To hear my dad describe something as good enough to enjoy, but not good enough to remember struck a nerve. I wanted to somehow rescue this film from the abyss of obscurity to which I knew my dad had just banished it. So when my parents left the house, but before they'd returned the rentals, I did what I had never done before and watched a film they rented without them. And I liked it. A lot actually. It was fun and funny, had cool action, cool tech, cool

shots, cool characters. I didn't fully understand everything going on, a lot of the more subtle humor and topical nuance went over my head, but I could follow along well enough. I made a conscious decision at that time to bestow this random movie my parents rented a place within my favorites list. Which is a bigger deal than it sounds: at the time my "favorite movie list" was essentially limited to Back to the Future, TMNT, and Point Break. A high honor indeed. But despite what my dad said, this movie deserved it. As I grew up, my opinion softened a bit, but never below the sentiment of "you know what, I really do like that one." with a customary watch every now and again. Nearly 30 years later now, and the movie my dad callously cast off the island (and probably legitimately has no memory of) has been a mainstay on my expanded favorite movies list ever since. Wildcard #1 is for ... Setec Astronomy It was a dead heat between this and Shakespeare in Love for my "S" pick, but I went with the latter to bolster up my rom-com options, and because overall I think Shakespeare ... is the more "complete" film experience. But it pained me to do it, leaving Sneakers alone at the alter yet again. I've previously called it a "poor man's Ocean's Eleven," which while apt given the focus on the ensemble cast, and the consummate sleight-of-hand caper elements, doesn't nearly encapsulate what makes Sneakers significantly unique among cinematic shovelware. One key to appreciating Sneakers is through embracing the zeitgeist in which it was crafted: namely the brief period in America immediately following the Cold War when the country collectively exalted to the heavens in a unified voice "We won! ... uh, now what?" Sneakers is a product of that surreal, hungover after-party morning stupor when the nation tried to find its shoes and put together a plan for breakfast. There is the DNA of a "business as usual" by the numbers espionage thriller that could copy-paste the omnipresent Soviets as the clear and present danger - standard operating procedures for the preceding 40 years. But Sneakers is emblematic of a reality in which geopolitical affairs move faster than the Hollywood filmmaking industrial complex, and a script written in 1981 surprisingly isn't as topical a decade later. The movie even makes reference to this with numerous, almost wistful mentions of the Russians, like a sullen teenager pining for a lost love. There's a point in the middle when the narrative starts to veer in that direction regardless, with body counts slowly rising, and Redford as Bishop going full Three Days of the Condor shouting "Who are you working for?!" at people in the shadows. But then Bishop gets back with his crew, and it's as though he remembers "Wait a minute, I'm not in that kind of movie" and we get back to the fun stuff. Redford really is the heart and soul of the film, and the only reason it got off the ground in the first place. But there is not a weak point in the cast. Ackroyd is great as a flat affect conspiracy theorist. River Phoenix - in his last on screen role - fits the lovable scrappy tech kid. McDonnell walks the delicate balance of being the put-upon sardonic voice of reason, who still isn't a total wet blanket buzzkill, and relishes being the mutrue cool girl whose's still allowed in the "clubhouse." Strathairn as the blind hacker Whistler is a scene-stealer. Of course, special mention must be made for Ben Kingsley, a sympathetic villain with the most ridiculous accent this side of Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending. But even more so, the great Sidney Poitier in his penultimate major motion picture role. Not only does he play the soberingly necessary part of the "only adult in the room" with sophisticated power and poise, but here's a shocker, he's also low-key hilarious. Now I had only ever known Poitier as a dramatic actor, with no idea he had any kind of comedic sense and timing. I didn't even know he had a few comedies in his repertoire until I went through his filmography and found

war and continuing political violence. The data showed that people who had been more intensely affected by the violence of war were more likely to join or participate in religious groups and practice religious rituals. The data, collected in 2010 and 2011, came from previously published work by other researchers. The more profound the impact of war on an individual — such as the death, injury or abduction of a household member — the greater the likelihood grew of that person turning to religion. By contrast, those who had been less affected by the impact of war were also less likely to join a a religious group. The statistical breakdown showed that for those in Sierra Leone, greater exposure to war made it 12% more likely individuals would turn to religion; 14% more for those in Uganda; and 41% more for Tajikstan. Even as years passed, Henrich's latest study found that religious practice continued to play a significant role in the lives of many of those surveyed. "These effects on religiosity persist even 5, 8 and 13 years post-conflict," according to the study. The effects held true whether those surveyed were Muslim or Christian. So what does that mean in terms of day-to-day behavior? In Henrich's previous work, he had found that religion led people to be more "prosocial" — that is, more supportive, cooperative and generous — but in a particular way. "When people hear the word cooperation, they interpret that positively," he said. But his study showed a "more narrow" type of cooperation that only included people in one's own group or village while excluding outsiders. As Henrich put it, "When I'm hit by a shock, what should I do? Who should I turn to? The groups you're already in become tighter, and you're less interested in reaching out to those who are not" in your in-group. The positive side is that such cooperation could lead to nation building. But the danger, Henrich says, is that these ingredients can alternatively lead to what he calls a "negative feedback loop." In that scenario, these already tightly knit religious groups could, in the event of an attack or if they fear one is imminent, band together to fight off other groups and defend their own religious beliefs. And that's the mixed message from the study's findings. Even though the groups studied by Henrich and his colleagues had not initially experienced a war with a religious element baked in, they could have a religious awakening in the aftermath that could foster "parochial cooperation" – but could also "catalyze ongoing cycles of violent conflict." Henrich echoes the conclusions of an earlier research study, published in 2016, by psychology professors Hongfei Du of Guangzhou University and Peilian Chi of the University of Macau. They also found that the greater exposure to war, the more likely people are to become more religious, belong to religious groups and participate in religious rituals. That was their takeaway after analyzing responses from 82,772 individuals in 57 countries contained in the 2010 World Values Survey. In a post-war environment, religion can serve as a psychological buffer against worry about future conflicts, they write — and can also help people achieve a strong sense of belonging to a group. And yet, Du wrote in his email to NPR, some research has shown that a different factor could tip the cycle toward peacemaking instead: whether the religious leaders hold and emphasize compassionate values rather than promote violent solutions to conflicts. It's an idea that was crystallized in a quote from Gandhi: "The need of the moment is not one religion, but mutual respect and tolerance of the devotees of the different religions."

It was a plan that had won

over those who’d been sceptical; it was a plan that once-supportive council members sent unceremoniously to the scrap heap. And, to top it all, both the biggest success and the biggest failure of Los Angeles’ plans for cycling infrastructure took place on the same street. LA wasn’t always a driver’s town. In the 1920s, it had the longest urban rail network in the world, and innovative infrastructure was built for cyclists as well. Despite this, Angelenos fell in love with the car early on and moved for more highway projects, making it the road-based city it is today. Lately, though, the city’s residents have become increasingly supportive of transportation projects that go beyond the car. In 2008, they voted for Measure R, which includes one of the most ambitious rail construction plans in the United States. Two years later, the city approved a bike plan that calls for 1,684 miles of bikeways. All the same, implementing these plans has been slow going: voters who supported the creation of bike lanes in theory changed their mind when it came time to take away their precious car lanes or parking spaces. The Los Angeles Times estimates that, of the more than 1,600 miles of proposed bikeways, just 200 have been built. One particularly acute case of this has occurred on one of the city’s most important roads, Figueroa Street. Though not as famous as other LA thoroughfares like Hollywood Boulevard, it’s a key artery for the city’s downtown, connecting the rolling hills of gentrifying Northeast Los Angeles with USC, the Coliseum, and the city’s distant port to the south. The planned bike lane for Figueroa in Northeast Los Angeles has become a case study in exactly how much can go wrong with a seemingly good plan. In documents released in 2010, the area was listed as a priority. But after locals became hostile to the idea, councilman Gil Cedillo, who’d previously supported the plan, suddenly changed his mind; in July, the Los Angeles Times reported that Cedillo had halted all work on advancing the bike lane project. Citing concerns that adding bike lanes would restrict access to emergency vehicles, he added that cyclists are a “tiny but vocal segment of the population”. Naturally, this didn’t go over well with the cycling community in Northeast LA. Josef Bray-Ali, owner of the well known Flying Pigeon bike shop and a vocal supporter of cycling infrastructure throughout the city, said of Cedillo, “We're going to have to get in his face non-stop, constantly… I'm not going to back down.” Rick Risemberg, another advocate, accused Cedillo in a blog post of responding to pressure from those who don’t live in his district but do provide much of his financial backing. As cycling advocates in Northeast LA regroup, perhaps they could learn from the tactics used to quell opposition to a scheme further south on Figueroa. In 2010, a plan for bike lanes along the two mile stretch between Downtown and the USC/Exposition Park complex, known as the MyFigueroa plan, began to take shape after a series of public meetings. As with many other plans, the plan drew widespread, though diffuse, popular support. By contrast, its opponents were few, but dedicated – and, most importantly, rich. The website People for Bikes reported in April 2014 that the most visible face of opposition to the project was Darryl Holter, owner of eight car dealerships along the route, who vocally opined that the project would hurt his sales. But behind the scenes, other major local players, such as USC and the Natural History Museum, were dragging their feet, too. Though they publicly supported the plan, they also called for a traffic study that would jeopardise key funding for the project. Fortunately for bike advocates, such opposition was overwhelmed by the strength of grassroots support. The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition mobilised supporters to put pressure on the city council. The plan won backing, too, from others in the local business community and all five local neighbourhood councils. In March, the campaign found another ally at the very top of the city’s government: mayor Eric Garcetti. By May, opinion had turned and construction was under way

It relies heavily on the Firebase CLI and gcloud SDK with user credentials for several mandatory steps. I am now trying to move this project to a Docker container on Cloud Run. I have been able to authenticate the Firebase CLI with user credentials using their built-in token-based CI command. I would like to ask if it's possible to authenticate the gcloud SDK using a similar method.

This is why I'd like to authenticate with a token representing user credentials. By default, the Cloud Run environment actually has access to a service account for the project hosting the container. Since this service account doesn't have permission to edit the newly created project, using it for authenticating is pointless.

to override all other credentials. A local Docker container can access the copied configurations, but even though the files are copied successfully, the gcloud SDK doesn't seem to recognize them. EDIT: My intentions are to allow less tech-savvy colleges to create a new Firebase project with a large set of pre-defined settings via the click of a button. This includes the following steps: * *Set up a new Firebase project (which automatically sets up a new Google Cloud project) *Enable billing *Set user IAM roles and upgrade/download service accounts *Add Google Analytics *Add Cloud storage *Create new Cloud storage bucket *Add Firestore Native mode *Copy pre-defined cloud functions and security roles and deploy them to the cloud The created Google Cloud project must be a part of our Google Cloud organization. The owner of the project is not important as I manually set IAM roles after creation. All of the above steps work on my local system and when I use idea #4, they also work on a generic docker container outside of Cloud Run. The problems I'm dealing with is authenticating the request for step #2 and step #3. As both of these requests deal with the newly created project, the default service identity for Cloud Run can't have the required roles to authenticate these requests at this time. This is why I am looking for a way to authenticate via the same user credentials used in step #1 by the Firebase CLI, as those credentials will have owner privileges by default. A: I'm not sure that what you want to achieve is possible. And even if a hack is possible, you don't know if a day it will be broken because of version update or API change. In addition, using a personal account into an app running on a VM is not a good idea. The log will trace you as user and not the app identity (the service account). What are your personal actions (on your computer and your access to the Cloud) and the app actions (those perform on behalf of you)? If your concern is about the deployment, you can have a look to terraform or you can even script you own deployment. I'm not sure to have caught all your blockers and problems, tell us more, maybe there is good workaround!!

, which was done by Bill Santos in California. It's the only non-stock piece on the Stickney. A farmer by profession, Charlie's no stranger to working his way through mechanical problems. But the Stickney presented challenges he'd never faced. 'You take a one-cylinder engine, how hard can that be?' Charlie asks rhetorically. He found out, noting that Stickney used its own design even on the nuts holding the engine together. Intent on an accurate restoration, Charlie made his own tool to copy Stickney's nut design. Charlie notes that none of the engine's hardware is standard, making restoration and fabrication of seemingly simple items time-consuming. 'One thing I learned is that there's nothing that can't be done,' Charlie says of the restoration. When the Stickney slipped into the river in 1951, it landed on its side, the tongue of its cart pointing up. When they tried to retrieve the engine at the time, all they got was the front axle, wheels and tongue. After a while, even those were sent to the scrap yard. That left Charlie with a badly rusted cart frame and an incomplete set of trucks. Remarkably, Charlie located an original 20 HP cart, complete with trucks, in Canada. 'They're absolutely perfect, and absolutely the right ones,' Charlie says. In the summer of 2001, Charlie attended the annual Butterfield (Minnesota) Threshermen's Association Steam and Gas Engine Show. There, he met other Stickney engine collectors who encouraged him in his push to restore the 20 HP Stickney. Charlie went to Butterfield again in 2002 and committed to finishing the engine in time for the 2003 Butterfield show when Stickney would be the featured engine. In the course of the restoration, Charlie worked almost full-time on the engine in the winter months, backing off only during the growing and harvesting seasons. Although he made remarkable progress, he missed his goal of having it running by December 2002 - but he didn't miss it by much. Three months later, after what Charlie calls, 'The most difficult, challenging thing I've ever done,' he was ready to start the Stickney. Al Giarratano, a Connecticut-based engine collector Charlie knows only through the Internet, had aptly named the engine 'Sleeping Beauty.' On March 8, 2003, with a shop full of people on hand - including a few of his Minnesota Stickney friends - 'We kissed her and woke her up,' Charlie says. Three years of dedicated, hard work suddenly culminated as the engine fired, and Charlie realized his life-long dream of restoring the Stickney had been accomplished. 'A few minutes later, when it struck me as to what had happened, the tears started, and I had to go stand in the corner for a bit. If anybody has ever had a dream when they were a kid, and had it come true when they were older, they know what it's like,' Charlie says. In August 2003, Charlie took the Stickney to the Butterfield show, followed by a swing over to Indiana for the annual gas engine extravaganza in Portland. The Stickney stole both shows, and Charlie's grandson, 13-year-old Marcus Inman, who accompanied Charlie on the trip, stole the hearts of many show-goers. Marcus, already an avid small-engine enthusiast, mastered the art of starting the Stickney, rocking it back on compression and firing it off almost every time. It was a sight to see, and one not soon forgotten. Inspired by boyhood longings, Charlie undertook the restoration of this elegant giant to fulfill his own dream. In the process, however, and to his great surprise, he has inspired every engine owner lucky enough to witness the fruits of his labor. Charlie would like to acknowledge the help and encouragement given to him by many people, without whom the restoration would not have been possible. Most importantly, he would like to thank his wife of 42 years, Burnie, for her unflinching support of his hobbies. He would also like to thank Dave Bestland, Myland and Monty Larson, Al Giarratano, Ed Banke and Fred Reetz. The comment thread on my "ethnicity" post digressed to Al Franken.

I want to direct your attention to

a lengthy discussion of the Franken matter by Laura McGann. She understands why people are so pained by his resignation and many still question it. She covers various points of view and all the arguments, but it ends up being very clear that he habitually engaged in behavior that required him to resign. The alternative would have been great damage to the Democratic party, and to women. I urge you to take the time to read the whole thing but I will give an excerpt that, I hope, makes the point. Journalists also picked up the description, including Sacramento Bee editorial writer Ginger Rutland, who wrote: At most Franken, who announced Thursday he is resigning, is guilty of boorish behavior — not assault, not pedophilia, not even sexual harassment. But with today’s fast-changing, contradictory and confusing reversal of sexual norms, he’s being burned at the stake, walked down the plank, buried alive. It’s unfair. This isn’t behavior we should accept. For example, a former Democratic aide told Politico a story (that she had told others over the years): She met Franken in 2006 when her boss appeared on his Air America radio show. Afterward, he attempted to kiss her. When she rebuffed his advance, she says, he claimed “it’s my right as an entertainer.” She got the message: He was important. She was not. “He was between me and the door, and he was coming at me to kiss me. It was very quick, and I think my brain had to work really hard to be like ‘Wait, what is happening?’ But I knew whatever was happening was not right, and I ducked,” the former aide said in an interview. “I was really startled by it, and I just sort of booked it towards the door, and he said, ‘It’s my right as an entertainer.’” An Army veteran serving in the Middle East during the Iraq War recounted her experience to CNN. When she was a 27-year-old military police officer and Franken was on a USO tour, she says that Franken put his arm around her for a photo and then cupped her breast in his hand. She was stunned. He was there to lift her spirits; instead, she describes being pushed down, made to feel helpless. “I was in a war zone. ... You were on a USO tour — are you trying to boost the morale of the troops or are you trying to boost your own?” she said. “I just feel so sorry for that young girl in that picture.” [Stephanie] Kemplin said she did not say anything to Franken at the time. ”You’re immediately put on the spot. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Your mind goes a mile a minute,” she said. “Who was I going to tell?” Many women have experienced this kind of behavior again and again — the small caresses on the arm or shoulder, a hand that slides a little too low followed by a startling squeeze, the hand in the wrong place during a photo, a lunge for an unwanted kiss. Women pay a tax for participating in public life. Maybe the tax isn’t always crippling, but it is also extreme to say it is meaningless. As one of Franken’s supporters put it after she says he tried to kiss her on a campaign stage, “I was stunned and incredulous. I felt demeaned. I felt put in my place.” There is a difference between the actions of Harvey Weinstein (accused of rape) and Franken (accused of forced kissing and groping women). But that doesn’t mean women should have to choose between the two. The ideal is none of the above. Don Quixote said... I agree. And therefore the current resident of the White House has no business (let alone the fact that he is a malignant traitor) being in office. Lock him up! And throw away the key. John Bachtell said... No evidence, no witnesses, no due process. Only accusations and finger-pointing. That seems to be the new standard for determining guilt. Franken got hosed. And he got hosed by the Democratic party who saw him as a liability. Laura Gann is a weapon. Just ask Glenn Thrush Cervantes said... I'm afraid I can't agree with that. There are multiple credible stories, all quite similar,

Sara VANNACCI, ALFREDO MUGELLI, ALESSANDRO J. Kragstrup L. Bjerrum Autori: G. Lusini; LAPI, FRANCESCO; B. Sara; VANNACCI, ALFREDO; MUGELLI, ALESSANDRO; J. Kragstrup; L. Bjerrum EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH Abstract: BACKGROUND: High rates of antibiotic prescribing in paediatric populations represent a major issue because of the problem of antibiotic resistance. North European countries reported an appropriate use of antibiotics in general population; few studies on this issue have been conducted until now, especially in Italy. Therefore a comparison concerning paediatric antibiotic prescribing rates between an Italian administrative area in Tuscany (Viareggio) and the county of Funen (Denmark) was conducted. METHODS: Reimbursement data from 2003 were gathered from the Tuscany Health Authority database and from the database containing pharmacy dispensing data from the Danish Medicines Agency. All data were converted to Defined Daily Doses (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day (DDD/TID). Data were broken down by age, identifying four age groups: 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19 years. RESULTS: The overall prescription of antibiotics to paediatric patients from 0 to 19 years of age was higher in Viareggio (67 DDD/TID) than in Funen (35 DDD/TID). In Viareggio amoxicillin and amoxicillin plus enzyme inhibitors ranked in the first two places as the most frequently prescribed antibiotics in the whole population. Cephalosporins were also heavily used in Viareggio with cefaclor being the third most frequently prescribed antibiotic, especially in the 0-4 and 5- to 9-year-old age groups. In Funen, phenoxymethylpenicillin was the most commonly used antibiotic in all age groups, representing almost one-third of prescriptions, followed by amoxicillin. CONCLUSIONS: The paediatric antibiotic prescription rate is substantially higher in Viareggio compared with Funen. These data confirm possible overuse and misuse of antibiotics in the Italian paediatric population. Auto-Posted - Global Security News 1.

Pinned atop Dorsey’s account was a tweet from early last year saying: “We’re committing Twitter to help increase the collective health,

openness, and civility of public conversation, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable towards progress.” A barrage of comments fired off on the platform questioned why the Twitter co-founder didn’t secure his account with two-factor authentication, and how disturbing a sign it was that the service wasn’t to keep its own chief safe on the platform. “If you can’t protect Jack, you can’t protect … jack,” one Twitter user quipped. The Twitter logo is displayed above a trading post on the floor of the NY Stock Exchange, Feb. 8, 2018. Cleaning up content The news comes with Dorsey and Twitter moving aggressively to clean up offensive and inappropriate content as part of a focus on “safety.” “This might be the only way to get rid of racist tweets on this platform,” a Twitter user commented. British-based security consultant Graham Cluley said the incident highlighted the importance of two-factor authentication, where a user must confirm the account via an external service. “Everyone should ensure they have 2FA enabled, use unique password, and double check what apps they’ve linked to their accounts,” Cluley tweeted. “Hard to say at moment how he was compromised, but one of those reasons most likely.” Cloudhopper Cybersecurity researcher Kevin Beaumont said the account appeared to have been hijacked “via a third party called Cloudhopper, which Twitter acquired about 10 years ago and had access to his account.” Cloudhopper enables users to send tweets on their phones via SMS. University of Hartford communications professor Adam Chiara was keen to learn whether the breach resulted from Dorsey’s negligence or a breakdown of security at Twitter. “While it’s tempting to laugh at the irony of it, the real-world consequences don’t make it funny,” Chiara said of Dorsey’s account being hacked. “Twitter can tell us that they are becoming more diligent with our privacy and security, but actions speak louder than words.” The incident raised fresh concerns about how social media users, even prominent ones, can have their accounts compromised and used for misinformation, a point highlighted by Canadian member of parliament Michelle Rempel Garner. “Between bots, trolls and abuse, I’ve been skeptical about @Twitter as a viable platform for some time now,” Rempel Garner wrote. “But the fact it took the platform’s owner (@jack) about 30 min to get his hacked account under control is deeply problematic, and makes me worry as an elected official.” Voice of America – English 1.

to help with the criminal case. Also if it's part of the punishment, the suing the owner may be double dipping. So get a lawyer and find out about the criminal side of this case. hoa needs to let the insurance company deal with it. if the hoa deals with it alone i would hypothesize the judge will toss it out of court against the homeowner. and let the case proceed against the driver which may or may not have any ability to pay. ive seen court cases where one party spent 100k in lawyer fees and won in court, and the court ordered him to pay based on his ability. $50 month. insurance deal with it. it may take years for the courts to decide and your hoa could end up with huge legal bills it is responsible for. I, too, would think it a dead end against the member of the HOA. Let insurance companies sort it out. Suing your neighbor, in this case, yields little except bad feelings - and, may set a bad precedent. Or should the HOA sue the owner for authorizing the driver on the property? Before suing anybody, the association should discuss with their attorney and get an opinion regarding how much the lawsuit is likely to cost and the likelihood of prevailing. If the association loses the suit, they are just out a lot of money with nothing to show for it. As others have stated, the insurance should of handled this. HOA should not have gone after the owner. Poor advice by Tim. Another person on this forum that sides with the HOA a lot. The driver was not invited onto the property by the owner, therefore not considered a guest. The driver going while passing through private property "offered" a ride, I see no invitation by the owner and no invitation for the driver to come onto the property in an impaired condition. Some California people on this forum but it should come under California 846, owner is totally immune. But I would like to see what the California folks have to say on this. More bad advice by Tim as well, should of let the insurance handle it, not the HOA. The insurance experts determine who has liability because they have the experience, not worth spending money HOA money on an attorney who has no expertise in this area. Bad advice by Melissa who is always siding with the HOA and is quick to go spend money on attorney's. Melissa wants to help the criminal investigation by letting the attorney research the criminal investigation, you can't be serious? that in itself will open up more legal liability for the HOA. And since this appears to be private property, I don't see a criminal case here. And if the state/county does have jurisdiction, the HOA should not stick their nose in it for the reason I listed earlier. I think the HOA will lose on this one. Let the insurance fix the damage to the common area and let the insurance go after the driver. The HOA and owner has nothing to do with it at that point. And also check if California has a uninsured motorist fund. How much was the damage anyway? Poor advice by Tim. Another person on this forum that sides with the HOA a lot. The driver was not invited onto the property by the owner, therefore not considered a guest. The driver going while passing through private property "offered" a ride, I see no invitation by the owner and no invitation for the driver to come onto the property in an impaired condition. An owner was offered a ride to work the next morning. The driver arrived under the influence, and after nearly running the owner down, crashed into common area. There was(K damage. there absolutely an invitation for the friend to come pick the homeowner up. But that's neither here nor there. I agree that the insurance company should handle it. The owner was offered a lift by a coworker the day before the incident. The owner waited at the entrance to the property. The coworker apparently drove onto the property to turn around, as she was exiting, she nearly hit the homeowner, who was injured as she dove out of the way of the coworker. The entrance sign was demolished. The replacement cost was @ $9K. The HOA Board and especially the property manager has become hostile to owners, becoming rude when asked questions, or disagreeing with the Board/manager’s indifference to the upkeep of the property. Individual owners have taken to buying/planting foliage/flowers/lawn seed/fertilizer in an attempt to having

to help with the criminal case. Also if it's part of the punishment, the suing the owner may be double dipping. So get a lawyer and find out about the criminal side of this case. hoa needs to let the insurance company deal with it. if the hoa deals with it alone i would hypothesize the judge will toss it out of court against the homeowner. and let the case proceed against the driver which may or may not have any ability to pay. ive seen court cases where one party spent 100k in lawyer fees and won in court, and the court ordered him to pay based on his ability. $50 month. insurance deal with it. it may take years for the courts to decide and your hoa could end up with huge legal bills it is responsible for. I, too, would think it a dead end against the member of the HOA. Let insurance companies sort it out. Suing your neighbor, in this case, yields little except bad feelings - and, may set a bad precedent. Or should the HOA sue the owner for authorizing the driver on the property? Before suing anybody, the association should discuss with their attorney and get an opinion regarding how much the lawsuit is likely to cost and the likelihood of prevailing. If the association loses the suit, they are just out a lot of money with nothing to show for it. As others have stated, the insurance should of handled this. HOA should not have gone after the owner. Poor advice by Tim. Another person on this forum that sides with the HOA a lot. The driver was not invited onto the property by the owner, therefore not considered a guest. The driver going while passing through private property "offered" a ride, I see no invitation by the owner and no invitation for the driver to come onto the property in an impaired condition. Some California people on this forum but it should come under California 846, owner is totally immune. But I would like to see what the California folks have to say on this. More bad advice by Tim as well, should of let the insurance handle it, not the HOA. The insurance experts determine who has liability because they have the experience, not worth spending money HOA money on an attorney who has no expertise in this area. Bad advice by Melissa who is always siding with the HOA and is quick to go spend money on attorney's. Melissa wants to help the criminal investigation by letting the attorney research the criminal investigation, you can't be serious? that in itself will open up more legal liability for the HOA. And since this appears to be private property, I don't see a criminal case here.

the property continue its downward spiral, despite two dues increases in three years. I must not have been clear. Additional information, the owner waited at the entrance to the property, the coworker apparently needed to turn around. The coworker nearly hit the owner before demolishing the entry sign. That's fine but the once this lawsuit gets going, a lot of different story's will come out, they will change or fade, facts will be muddled, all of them do not favor the HOA and the owners who have to pay for it. Not all costs can be recovered. $9k is not a lot, let the insurance deal with it...it appears more issues are going on in this HOA, perhaps the directors are the one's that need to be recalled and replaced. The HOA or it's representative should have done two things and two things only. I agree. The property manager and board run the place like a secret society, so getting any information as to their reasoning is unlikely. The sanitized version will appear in the minutes. Didn't you know, this is what it was always intended to be! Run for the board or start a recall campaign. Left the board after exposing the property company’s inept record keeping, IE, failing to pay bills, double/triple paying other bills, and threatening homeowners with lien action for failure to pay dues that were actually current, and the fact I related several instances where the manager had willfully lied to me and the other members. Between the president, the manager (who was providing benefits to the president) and a couple of stooges, I didn’t stand a chance. Most of the complex is inhabited by renters; owners by and large won’t care until there’s a 20K assessment to rebuild failing buildings, the result of years of mismanagement. Many on this forum are usually out numbered and stand little chance but most of them have been successful turning around HOA's that operate like yours, it takes a lot of energy or it takes a lot of money, usually both, if you are not motivated enough to do this, then let them continue. If most of the units are owned by people who rent them out then it's a tall order to try and fix things. Personally, after working for years to improve my HOA which has less than 10% rentals, and experiencing first-hand how difficult it is to get anything done in this environment, I don't think I would even bother trying in an association with a majority of rental properties. I would avoid buying into such an association like the plague unless it was a goldmine for vacation rentals and I was interested in the investment possibilities. I am wondering why the Management company is involved? This is an HOA board issue. They should be the ones calling the police and making a report. This is a CRIMINAL case. Like Richard suggested... File a police report and let the insurance companies duke it out. That's what NEEDS to happen. Don't need to sue the owner. This will just be handled by insurances. Do you really have ANY idea what a management company actually does on behalf of their clients. You would really be surprised! You mean that person with the tow truck HOA member, that is someone else. And it’s not practical to get 40 posts in 2 days. Anyway relax, just busting your chops. Anyway, looks like it’s too late, the HOA already filed suit, hopefully they’ll give us an update on it. How is this a question? It's between drunk guy and the HOA, period. End of story. Poor advice by Tim. Another person on this forum that sides with the HOA a lot. This is a forum for those who have served on their board or committees. Not knowing when you became a member of this forum, you may not know my back story. I located this forum while fighting my Association over a screen door that was on my property when I purchased. In doing research, I located a lot of anti-hoa sites who gave the advice to bring legal action. It should be noted that most of those sites are no longer operational. I stumbled on this site and told my story. Members of this site asked hard questions of me. Told me to read the applicable statutes and governing documents. Through that advice I found that the statutes were on my side. When this was pointed out to the board, the issue went away. Knowing that if the board could do this crap to me,

If you don’t love doing this you might as well go get a job.” Lzzy: “You can make a lot more money doing something else that you hate.” Chris: “Records don’t sell anymore. Adele sells records, but her music is so much more accessible. Not everyone wants to hear a Marshall on 10. The last band that sold six or seven million copies was probably Nickelback a decade ago. The records aren’t selling so you have to stay on the road, and that’s fine with us.” If records aren’t selling, what’s the motivation to make them? People coming up to you telling you what your music means to them, that is the currency now Zach: “The crowds motivate you. You go out and play in front of these kids and you don’t care how they got your record, you’re just happy they heard your music. For us it is an amazing sense of victory knowing that these people want to hear your band. “All three of these bands came up together, touring together for five years, playing the same shows so to come over to the UK and see all of the people with shirts of these bands and singing their songs is incredible. “It sucks that the record industry is in the state that it’s in because I hate that some little kid isn’t going to start a band because he knows he’s not going to get a platinum record. I hate that it could deter kids.” So what would your advice for kids picking up a guitar for the first time today be? Chris: “Be careful how you measure success. Success in this business is not about record sales and dollar signs, it’s about the pleasure you get from it.” Zach: “That might be the only advice you need.” Ben: “I wasn’t 12 years old picking up a guitar because I wanted to make millions of dollars. C’mon, I wanted to be a rock star.” Zach: “People coming up to you telling you what your music means to them, that is the currency now. All three of our bands are now playing music around the world. We live a dream.” Chris: “We get to speak the only universal language on Earth.” Lzzy: “Hell yeah!” Black Stone Cherry headline Ramblin' Man Fair on Sunday 24 July, while Shinedown and Halestorm play the Lemmy Stage at Download Festival on Sunday 12 June.

Such compatibility condition is called "quasi-unipotent and regular along $X_0$ or some locally defined holomorphic function $f$" (see \cite[\S3.2]{Sai88}). Pure Hodge modules are quasi-unipotent and regular along any locally defined holomorphic function $f$.

j^*F_{p(M)}\mathcal M_f.\] And the action of $\tilde f$ on $S(M)$ is exactly the action of $t$ on $F_{p(M)}\mathcal M_f$. But since $t$ acts on $V_\alpha$ injectively for $\alpha<0$, $\mathcal T$ must be 0. \end{proof} Because of the compatibility of the $V$-filtration and the Hodge filtration, Saito also proved the following theorem about $p(M)$. \begin{prop}[{\cite[Proposition 2.6]{Sai91}}] \label{p(M)} Suppose $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ is a projective morphism of complex manifolds with $M\in{HM^Z(X, l)^p}$ for some subvariety $Z$. If $M'$ is a direct summand of $\mathcal H^jf_*M$ and its strict support $Z'\neq f(Z)$, then \[p(M')> p(M).\] \end{prop} Combining Proposition \ref{otorsionfree} and Proposition \ref{p(M)}, one obtains, \begin{corol}\label{torsionfree} Let $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ be a surjective projective morphism of complex varieties, and let $M$ be a polarizable pure Hodge module strictly supported on $X$. Then $R^if_*S(M)$ is torsion-free for all $i$. \end{corol} This corollary was first conjectured by Koll\'{a}r as generalizations of his theorem about higher direct images of dualizing sheaves \cite{Kol}, and was proved by M. Saito in \cite{Sai91}. \begin{corol}\label{hdim} Assume $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ is a birational morphism of complex projective varieties, and $M\in HM^X(X, l)^p$. Then \[R^if_*S(M) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} S(M') & \mbox{ $i = 0$}\\ 0 & \mbox{ $i<0$}\end{array} \right., \] where $M'$ is the direct summand of $\mathcal H^0f_*M$ strictly supported on Y. \end{corol} \begin{proof} The fact that $R^0f_*S(M)=S(M')$ follows from Proposition \ref{p(M)}. Now $R^if_*S(M)=0$ for $i>0$ because $R^if_*S(M)$ is both torsion and torsion-free. \end{proof} \subsection{Non-characteristic inverse image} \label{nonchar} Let $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ be a morphism of complex manifolds. We have the following two morphisms of cotangent bundles, \[p_2: X\times_Y T^*Y\longrightarrow T^*Y\] and \[df^*: X\times_Y T^*Y\longrightarrow T^*X\] given by differential, $df^*(x, \omega)=df^*_x(\omega)$. \begin{definition}[Non-Characteristic morphism {\cite[\S3.5]{Sai88}}] Let $(\mathcal M, F_{\bullet}\mathcal M)$ be a filtered coherent $\mathscr D_Y$-module. $f:X\longrightarrow Y$ is said to be non-characteristic for $(\mathcal M, F_{\bullet}\mathcal M)$ if the following two conditions are satisfied: \begin{itemize} \item $L^if^*{\rm Gr}^F_p(\mathcal M)=0$ for all $i\neq0$ and all $k$;\\ \item $df^*|_{p_2^{-1}\text{Ch}(\mathcal M)}$ is finite. \end{itemize} If $f$ is a closed embedding, one says that $X$ is non-characteristic for $(\mathcal M, F_{\bullet}\mathcal M)$ if $f$ is so.\par The first condition means that the pull-back of the filtration is still a filtration of the pull-back of $\mathcal M$; the second says the pull-back filtration is also good. Hence one gets the filtered pull-back $f^*(\mathcal M, F_{\bullet}\mathcal M

March 15, 2022 GT Alert The Netherlands and Colombia Have Signed a Tax Treaty Thomas van der Vliet Suzanne Walstra Read in Spanish/Leer en Español. On 16 February 2022, the Netherlands and Colombia signed a tax treaty for the elimination of double taxation and the prevention of tax evasion and avoidance (the Treaty). The Treaty prevents double taxation and contributes to the economic interests of both countries. Currently, no official date has been published as to when the Treaty will take effect. However, entry into force will occur after parliamentary ratification and the exchange of ratification instruments between the contracting states. This GT Alert summarizes the contents of the Treaty. Contents of the Treaty Colombia is an important partner for the Netherlands in Latin America, and the Treaty removes potential barriers that could otherwise impede economic activities in Colombia and the Netherlands. The Treaty is largely based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and UN model treaty. The Treaty contains provisions to prevent tax avoidance. With these provisions, the Treaty meets the minimum standards of the so-called Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project of the OECD/G20 (BEPS) against tax avoidance. Permanent Establishment For purposes of the Treaty, the term “permanent establishment” means a fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is wholly or partly carried out. A permanent establishment will also be deemed present if an enterprise provides services in a contracting state through employees or other engaged personnel if the activities continue for longer than 183 days within any 12-month period. Furthermore, a building site, construction, assembly or installation project, or supervisory activities in connection therewith, but only if such site, project, or activities last more than 183 days, will be deemed a permanent establishment. Dividends, Interest, and Royalties The Treaty provides for the taxation of dividends, interest, and royalties to be capped in certain cases. Dividends may be taxed in the source state, but if the beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other contracting state, the tax so charged shall not exceed 5% if the beneficial owner is a company holding at least 20% of the capital of the dividend-paying company over a 365-day period that includes the day of the dividend payment. Otherwise, the tax so charged shall not exceed 15% (however, a 0% rate applies if the beneficial owner of the dividend is a recognized pension fund resident in the other contracting state). The source state may tax interest, but if the beneficial owner of the interest is a resident of the other contracting state, the tax so charged shall not exceed 5% of the gross amount of the interest paid in connection with a loan granted by a financial institution for infrastructure projects with a term of at least three years. Otherwise, the tax so charged shall not exceed 10%. The source state may also tax royalties arising in that state, but if the beneficial owner of the royalties is a resident of the other contracting state the tax so charged shall not exceed 5% of the gross amount of the royalties for the use of, or the right to use, industrial or scientific equipment. Otherwise, the tax so charged shall not exceed 10%. The royalty definition in the Treaty follows that of the UN Model Convention and therefore includes fees for the use or right

Биография и творчество Родился в 1893 году в Галаце, в Румынии, вырос в Фэлтичени. Родители — Иоэл и Фейга Зеликович. Начал рисовать ещё в школе. В 1912 году отправился в Палестину, входившей ещё в состав Османской империи, и затем принял решение эмигрировать туда (как писал сам Рубин, когда он сошёл с корабля в Яффе, он понял, что это его земля, где он будет жить). В 1912 году учился в Академии "Бецалель" в Иерусалиме, ведущем художественном заведении Палестины, где были собраны на тот момент ведущие художники. Однако сам Рубин решил, что ему требуется более основательное художественное образование, и поехал в Париж. В Париже в 1913—1914 годах учился в Школе Изящных Искусств и в Академии Коларосси. В 1914 году началась Первая мировая война, и возвращение в Палестину стало невозможным. Посетив в 1915 году Италию, художник отправился в Румынию, где работал с 1916 по 1920 год (с 1918 года — в Черновцах). Затем Рубин совершил путешествие в США, где прошла его первая крупная персональная выставка. С 1922 года поселился в Тель-Авиве, хотя до конца жизни много путешествовал. Довольно быстро Рубин был признан одним из ведущих художников подмандатной Палестины. В 1920-е годы Рубин разработал собственный стиль, близкий модернизму, но основанный на палестинской тематике. Картины этого периода отличаются яркими красками и чёткой композицией. В 1922 году он создал одну из своих наиболее известных работ — триптих «Первые плоды». В 1924 году прошли его первые персональные выставки, в Иерусалиме и в Герцлии, в 1926 году — персональная выставка в галерее Бернхейма в Париже. В дальнейшем его персональные выставки проходили практически ежегодно. Так, в 1933-34 году его персональная выставка стала первой в открывшемся незадолго до этого Тель-Авивском музее изобразительных искусств. В 1

929 году в Тель-Авиве Рубин женился на Эстер Дэвис. В 1945 году в Нью-Йорке родился их сын Давид, в 1952 году, также в Нью-Йорке — дочь Ариэлла. В 1948 году Реувен Рубин был назначен первым дипломатическим представителем Израиля в Румынии и занимал эту должность до 1950 года, после чего вернулся в Тель-Авив. В 1940-е и 1950-е годы его художественный стиль полностью меняется. Рубин отходит от полностью фигуративной живописи и начинает писать в стиле, близком символизму. В 1966—1967 годах проходят его крупные ретроспективные выставки в двух крупнейших художественных музеях Израиля — в Тель-Авиве и Иерусалиме. В 1969 году он выполнил витражи для зала приёмов в новой резиденции президента Израиля в Иерусалиме. В 1973 году Реувен Рубин был удостоен Государственной премии Израиля за достижения в области искусства. Художник умер 13 октября 1974 года и похоронен на старом кладбище Трумпельдор в Тель-Авиве.

banners were on public display at the City of Raleigh Museum in the month of August. “Our goal is to travel it around different parts of ‘The Old North State’ over the next year,” Leonard adds. The exhibit is part of Campbell Law’s year-long 10/40 celebration – 2019 marks both the 40th anniversary of the school’s first graduating class, and the 10th anniversary of its move from Buies Creek to downtown Raleigh. ABOUT CAMPBELL LAW Since its founding in 1976, Campbell Law has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion, and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. Among its accolades, the school has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation’s top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation’s best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 4,200 alumni, who make their home in nearly all 50 states and beyond. In 2019, Campbell Law will celebrate 40 years of graduating legal leaders and 10 years of being located in a state-of-the-art facility in the heart of North Carolina’s Capital City. Campus & CommunityLaw The E List ~ classic film reviews Reviews of classic cinema, genre greats, and modern masterpieces. The Films of Jon Garcia: 2009-2013 by Eric B. Olsen The Films of Jon Garcia: 2009-2013 is about the zeal for making motion pictures that informs the kind of work that goes on in the Portland film community every day. Most of the people involved in these independent projects aren’t looking for money; they are looking for an artistic outlet that they can’t get anywhere else. And regardless of what winds up on the screen, there has to be a certain grudging praise for artists who are able to realize their visions despite all of the factors working against them. Portland writer-director Justin Koleszar put it this way: “To be honest, I really hope that people can, if nothing more, just appreciate that the film was done well.

After discovering Jon Garcia’s film The Falls in my local public library, I started watching other films that featured the two stars of Garcia’s films, Ben Farmer and Nick Ferrucci. It was then that I began to realize just how many terrific films had been made in Portland in the past decade, and had it not been for accidentally stumbling across The Falls I might never have know about them. They are independent films, to be sure, and certainly suffer from the severe budgeting restrictions that come with young filmmakers struggling to realize their vision. But one thing that can’t be restricted is artistic vision itself, which can be seen in the narrative quality of their work that sets it apart from much of the independent filmmaking happening in the rest of the country. My initial concept for the book was an ambitious one. I had identified a dozen films by eight different directors and planned to spend the majority of the text dealing with my own analysis of the films, using the interview material to supplement and add dimension to that analysis. But it soon became clear that I was going to have to limit the scope of the project, and maybe do just a few films or directors at a time in multiple volumes. The choice for the first volume in the series was equally clear. Of all the directors I had interviewed, only one had made more than two films, and that was Jon Garcia. In fact, one of the things that became abundantly clear about him throughout my research is that he really is a filmmaker. His ability to write screenplays, his vision as a director, and his determination to continue to make films of high quality despite the necessity of low budgets, has set him apart from most other independent filmmakers.

Olsen The Films of Jon Garcia: 2009-2013 is about the zeal for making motion pictures that informs the kind of work that goes on in the Portland film community every day. Most of the people involved in these independent projects aren’t looking for money; they are looking for an artistic outlet that they can’t get anywhere else. And regardless of what winds up on the screen, there has to be a certain grudging praise for artists who are able to realize their visions despite all of the factors working against them. Portland writer-director Justin Koleszar put it this way: “To be honest, I really hope that people can, if nothing more, just appreciate that the film was done well. It’s not going to be everyone’s favorite, but I hope that they appreciate the performances of the actors and all the work that went into it, the entire cast and crew.” In the context of the kind of sacrifice that goes into an independent feature in terms of finances, time, and effort, it’s not an unreasonable request, and a sentiment that I’m sure every independent filmmaker shares. After discovering Jon Garcia’s film The Falls in my local public library, I started watching other films that featured the two stars of Garcia’s films, Ben Farmer and Nick Ferrucci. It was then that I began to realize just how many terrific films had been made in Portland in the past decade, and had it not been for accidentally stumbling across The Falls I might never have know about them. They are independent films, to be sure, and certainly suffer from the severe budgeting restrictions that come with young filmmakers struggling to realize their vision. But one thing that can’t be restricted is artistic vision itself, which can be seen in the narrative quality of their work that sets it apart from much of the independent filmmaking happening in the rest of the country. My initial concept for the book was an ambitious one. I had identified a dozen films by eight different directors and planned to spend the majority of the text dealing with my own analysis of the films, using the interview material to supplement and add dimension to that analysis. But it soon became clear that I was going to have to limit the scope of the project, and maybe do just a few films or directors at a time in multiple volumes.

His ability to write screenplays, his vision as a director, and his determination to continue to make films of high quality despite the necessity of low budgets, has set him apart from most other independent filmmakers. The book itself is also somewhat unique in the way that it is written. I have read numerous books on film and the history of cinema over the years and while they

deliver a lot of good information and historical background, I find most of them wanting in the way that they approach their material. What most of these books lack is a cohesive narrative in which all of the elements of a film—history, interview and analysis—occur simultaneously in the text. This is the kind of book about film that I’ve always wanted to read, so it’s the kind of book I decided to write. The book examines the first four films of Garcia’s career in order to provide a deeper understanding of works that transcend the limitations of independent filmmaking and to show how they have attained the status of art. Part oral history and part film analysis, it provides a detailed textual commentary on Tandem Hearts (2010), the director’s first film, The Falls (2011) and The Falls: Testament of Love (2013), his most well known films, and The Hours Till Daylight (2016). The Films of Jon Garcia: 2009-2013 takes an in-depth look at a writer-director who has earned a reputation as one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier filmmakers. Posted by neslowe at 8:32 AM No comments: Labels: Independent, Jon Garcia, Misc. Post, Portland Films Director: Tom McCarthy Writers: Josh Singer & Tom McCarthy Film Score: Howard Shore Cinematography: Masanobu Takayanagi Starring: Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and Leiv Schreiber Spotlight takes its title from the team of investigative journalists at The Boston Globe doing something almost unheard of today, spending months or even years on writing in-depth stories of substance and relevance to the community. In the case of the film, the thrust of the stories by The Globe was the Catholic Church’s complicity in covering up the molestation of young children that had been happening for decades. The priesthood had always been a source of controversy concerning inappropriate behavior, and for years various charges and court cases had been pursued against specific priests. What was unique was the way in which the church would simply transfer priests to another, unsuspecting, parish and the behavior would begin again. And so when the stories in 2001 finally exposed the whole, sordid affair, there was more of an understanding nod of the head than anything outright shocking. The film Sleepers, from 1996 had even dealt knowingly about the subject. What this film does, however, is put a human face on the crime. The initial contact that the team makes with a former victim, Neal Huff, is extraordinary in the way that he paints the priests as predators, grooming their victims and inflicting what he calls “spiritual abuse.” The film begins with an episode from the 1960s; a parish priest has been brought in by the local police on charges of molestation. A young cop tells his desk sergeant that it’s going to be difficult to keep the media away from the arraignment, and the sergeant responds by saying, “What arraignment?” The scene then shifts to 2001, John Slattery as the managing editor of The Boston Globe, Michael Keaton heading up Spotlight, and a new senior editor of the paper, Leiv Schreiber, due in any time. Keaton’s team, which includes Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and Brian d’Arcy James works out of the basement, and when Schreiber arrives there’s concern that he will simply cut the department. But he’s read a column in the paper about a priest who was alleged to have molested kids in six different parishes over thirty years and a lawyer for some of the victims claims that the cardinal of Boston knew about it all that time and did nothing. The lawyer, Stanley Tucci, has absolutely no faith that the paper--or anyone else--is going to do anything that the community will interpret as an attack on the church. It’s not until Ruffalo, followed by the rest of the Spotlight team, shows their determination in exposing the abuse that he gets onboard to really help them. But there’s also another twist involving Michael Keaton and what he knew about the crimes while he was a new editor. It’s a tremendously well-done film.

John Skudrna’s plans for his waterfront property were presented by Kyle Collins and Anthony Trezza, both of KPC Planning in Westhampton Beach, during a West Hampton Dunes Zoning Board of Appeals meeting Saturday morning. Mr. Trezza said the 2.5 acres would be split into three lots: two nearly 1-acre flag lots, with a portion of each abutting the bay, and one half-acre lot along Dune Road. Three private homes proposed for those lots would require a number of variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Additionally, the West Hampton Dunes Village Board would also have to sign off on the project. Five of Mr. Skudrna’s neighbors in attendance on Saturday said they oppose the plan, arguing that such a subdivision would lower the value of their properties. “Isn’t it the ZBA’s obligation to protect the community good?” asked George Khouri, who owns a home at

Three private homes proposed for those lots would require a number of variances from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Additionally, the West Hampton Dunes Village Board would also have to sign off on the project. Five of Mr. Skudrna’s neighbors in attendance on Saturday said they oppose the plan, arguing that such a subdivision would lower the value of their properties. “Isn’t it the ZBA’s obligation to protect the community good?” asked George Khouri, who owns a home at

745 Dune Road, near Mr. Skudrna’s property. “I can’t understand how this would benefit the people of West Hampton Dunes.” The subdivision, as presented by Mr. Trezza and Mr. Collins, requires a subdivision permit from the Suffolk County Department of Health and a tidal wetlands permit from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, in addition to the variances from the village. Because Joseph Prokop, the West Hampton Dunes village attorney, did not attend Saturday’s meeting, the zoning board was unable to make a decision on the required variances. The board is expected to discuss the application again at its March 14 meeting. In order to create the three lots, Mr. Skudrna would need to obtain a total of five variances from the zoning board, Mr. Trezza explained. Some of the homeowners opposing the proposal said that is simply too many variances to grant one property owner. In response to the concerns raised by neighbors, Zoning Board members requested that Mr. Trezza and Mr. Collins present an alternate plan for Mr. Skudrna’s subdivision. That plan, Mr. Trezza explained, calls for dividing the property into three identical 83-foot-wide lots, each running from Dune Road north to Moriches Bay. Mr. Trezza said he did not know how many variances would be required to build a home on each of those lots. The alternate plan, however, also requires that 25 percent of the 2.5 acres be preserved as open space, Mr. Collins said. Attorney Barbara Rasmussen of Westhampton Beach, who was speaking on behalf of West Hampton Dunes property owner Mike Rossi, asked if Mr. Skudrna’s parcel is included in the March 2007 lawsuit that the Southampton Town Trustees filed against nearly two dozen village property owners, challenging their ownership of redeposited sand along Moriches Bay. Mr. Skudrna said his property was dropped from the lawsuit about a year ago. On Monday, Mr. Skudrna’s attorney, Richard Haefeli of Westhampton Beach, said he provided ample proof to Richard Cahn, the attorney for the Town Trustees, that his client’s property is not redeposited bay bottom. The lawsuit filed by the Town Trustees contends that they own an estimated 8 acres of sand that abuts Moriches Bay. “The land was in the same form before the breakthrough,” Mr. Haefeli said about Mr. Skudrna’s property, referring to the storms in the early 1990s that submerged most of the village. “The Trustees could not make a claim of ownership of my client’s property.” Mr. Cahn said Tuesday that he and the Town Trustees are still waiting to have a conference on their lawsuit in Suffolk County Supreme Court in Riverhead. “No one knows right now what the schedule will be,” he said. On Saturday, Mr. Collins and Mr. Trezza spent considerable time explaining Mr. Skudrna’s plans for developing the property. Because the village code requires that lots be at least 40,000 square feet, Mr. Skudrna would have to obtain a variance for the roadside lot that is proposed in his original plan. The two lots that would overlook Moriches Bay would not require that variance because both would be nearly 1 acre in size, according to Mr. Trezza. In making his client’s case for the requested variance, Mr. Trezza pointed out that 79 percent of the lots in Village of West Hampton Dunes measure 30,000 square feet or less. “These variances are not substantial in terms of the whole village,” Mr. Trezza said. In fact, West Hampton Dunes Mayor Gary Vegliante said the average lot size in the village is around 16,000 square feet—which is about one-third of an acre. Mr. Trezza would have to obtain width variances for the two waterfront lots under his original plan as neither would measure at least 150 feet in width—another requirement of the village code. One lot would come up about 17 feet short, while the second would be 32 feet short. 1 | 2 >> I feel for the people of Westhampton Dunes. I am sure the last thing they want to see down there would be houses built too close to each other!!!

In a Japanese-language document published on the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency website, the government said two classes of standoff hypersonic systems will be deployed — the Hypersonic Cruise Missile (HCM) and the Hyper Velocity Gliding Projectile (HVGP

). The former will be powered by a scramjet engine and appears similar to a typical missile, albeit one that cruises at a much higher speed while capable of traveling at long ranges. The HVGP, on the other hand, will feature a solid-fuel rocket engine that will boost its warhead payload to a high altitude before separation, where it will then glide to its target using its altitude to maintain high velocity until impact. The agency also provided more details regarding warhead payloads, with different warheads planned for both seaborne and land targets. The former will be an armor-piercing warhead designed specifically for penetrating “the deck of the [aircraft] carrier,” while a land-attack version will utilize a high-density, explosively formed projectile, or EFP, for area suppression.

Venue: Smock Alley Theatre Going from sketch to sketch with a helpful dose of audience participation, Foil Arms & Hog are back in Dublin to point out pretentious people, find the tallest person in the room and teach us how to speak Dublish. With a mix of song, miming and ad-libbed sections there’s a good chance they’ll go over their running time. For the second night of Doomdah there wasn’t an empty seat in the Smock Alley main stage, and with the comedy trio helping people to find seats with their microphones on, the laughs start early. The lights are up for the entire hour-long show, keeping the audience involved throughout. Obviously the spine of the show revolves around a handful of rehearsed sketches, but dragging new people up to the stage for most of them you feel like you’re getting something a little bit different each night. It’s The Fringe not a pub, so even if there are people not up for participating you still feel like you’re in safe hands. Some of the material you’ll recognise from Youtube but a lot of it is new. In fact most of the gags would only work in a live show setting. The One Man Show is a particular standout, building on the joke without dragging it out too long – I won’t ruin it for you though. If you’ve never seen their stuff before then there’s nothing to worry about, there are no inside jokes, but fans will be pleased to see some familiar favourites. It’s the perfect four star performance, I’d be surprised if anyone left feeling like they didn’t get their money’s worth. Some sketches are better than others, but what keeps the energy up is the constant commentary from the three guys, they bounce off each other even in parts that clearly aren’t rehearsed. There’s a great energy in the room, when one of them leaves they’ll whisper to people in the audience that “they’re not in this bit” in case they were wondering. If you’re queueing up to buy their DVD at the end it might be because you like them just as much as for the sketches. I think for their live shows to really work you have to be in the room with them. Their online videos have gotten their name out there, but if you get a chance you should see them live for a show that’s never the same twice. A word of warning: if you hate participation avoid the

ers, Caraf Builders and Constructions and DLF Assets. This move is aimed at paring its debt, which stood at Rs 20,695 crore in March 2015. In 2014, the capital market regulator barred DLF from accessing the capital markets for three years. Although a tribunal set aside this order, the regulator has challenged this decision in the Supreme Court. The promoters of as many as 359 BSE-listed companies have pledged half their stakes, an indicator of stressed corporate finances in an economy that struggling to get back on track. The percentage of food adulterated samples in 2014-15, an increase from the 14.8% in 2012-13 and 18.8% in 2013-14. The issue of food safety and testing came to light after excessive quantities of lead were found in certain samples of Nestle India’s popular noodles brand Maggi. However, a few days ago, the Central Food Technological Research Institute, a laboratory approved by the food regulator, had found Maggi Noodles to be in compliance with India’s food safety standards. Even as the fate of Maggi lies in balance, Nestle India posted a quarterly loss in the April-June quarter, its first in 15 years. Percentage of project proposals decided after making a site visit by the coastal zone management authorities (CZMAs) of nine states. Of the 4,033 projects assessed, mostly between 1999 and 2014 for most states, the respective CZMAs made site visits in only 367. This is just one of the many shortcomings or lapses in coastal regulation highlighted in a recent report by New Delhi-based thinktank Centre of Policy Research. Other points include inadequate monitoring, inappropriate staffing, lack of financial resources and inordinate amount of time spent in project proposals. Percentage of respondents who believe prices will increase in the next one year, in general, according to the ‘Inflation Expectations Survey of Households’ conducted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in June. This percentage has increased from that recorded in June 2014 when 83.6% of the respondents felt this way. The equivalent numbers across all categories such as food prices, non-food prices, housing prices and cost of services have seen an increase in June 2015 from last year. The Consumer Confidence Survey by the RBI shows that the perception on economic conditions has marginally increased for the next one year, though negative perceptions have also registered an increase. Yesterday, the RBI left the key interest rate unchanged, as it was not confident about inflation levels being in a comfort zone yet.

temperature tops ninety degrees (and certainly the Dem leadership knows that). The devastation of small business, careers, livelihoods, households, and futures continues. Take measures to protect your own future, as far as possible. Put your energy into imagining how you can be helpful to other people, and perhaps incidentally earn their trust and their assistance in mutually beneficial ways. Think about finding a plausible place to live where the rule of law perseveres. Think about how you might fit into an economy run at a smaller scale. Start taking action on that thinking. There’s potential for a lot of people to get hurt in the disorders-to-come. There’s plenty you can do to not be one of them. The problem with all mass events. College football is twelve Saturdays away. It may be hard to believe amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but Division I colleges and universities across the country began to bring their football players back to campus for workouts this month. Now a number of schools have reported that some of their players tested positive for COVID-19: Auburn had three players test positive; University of Central Florida had three; Oklahoma State had five; Arkansas State had seven. That won’t stop the season from happening. The general attitude from schools is that the players who tested positive will self-isolate for two weeks, and the show will go on.

temperature tops ninety degrees (and certainly the Dem leadership knows that). The devastation of small business, careers, livelihoods, households, and futures continues. Take measures to protect your own future, as far as possible. Put your energy into imagining how you can be helpful to other people, and perhaps incidentally earn their trust and their assistance in mutually beneficial ways. Think about finding a plausible place to live where the rule of law perseveres. Think about how you might fit into an economy run at a smaller scale. Start taking action on that thinking. There’s potential for a lot of people to get hurt in the disorders-to-come. There’s plenty you can do to not be one of them. The problem with all mass events. College football is twelve Saturdays away. It may be hard to believe amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but Division I colleges and universities across the country began to bring their football players back to campus for workouts this month. Now a number of schools have reported that some of their players tested positive for COVID-19: Auburn had three players test positive; University of Central Florida had three; Oklahoma State had five; Arkansas State had seven. That won’t stop the season from happening. The general attitude from schools is that the players who tested positive will self-isolate for two weeks, and the show will go on. The show must go on, because the money demands it. “We are going to play football in the fall,” said the 76-year-old West Virginia University president Gordon Gee, “even if I have to suit up.” Gee said that a month ago, when the return of college football was still in question, since some universities were hesitant to commit to having classes in the fall.

rest, and the event will see Dan, Nathan and Cloudy Bay Estate director Ian Marden share details of their defining ‘vintage’ – the year they pushed boundaries and made magic happen – and in doing so invite guests to hear first-hand how they too can achieve the extraordinary. The stories behind each speaker’s vintage will also be displayed within a gallery space Dan Gosling is one of the most successful figures in the local fashion industry, as founder of Black Box Boutique and co-founder of The Department Store. He is also the creator of Stem, which distributes over 20 fashion labels through New Zealand and Australia including Moscot, Ksubi and Insight, and of course, one of the boys behind top NZ label, Stolen Girlfriends Club. We sat down with Dan to find out more about his involvement in this unique event, and to learn a little more about his own ‘vintage’. At what age did you know your life was going to be all about fashion? It happened quite late. I started distributing clothing and snowboards when I was 18. Being exposed to this quickly growing market it was all about the marketing and the hype behind the brand that made them stand out from the rest. What designers were the most influential to you when growing up? When I was growing up I was surfing, so it wasn’t really so fashionable then. I used to love Nom D tee shirts and hoods when they first started. Also Workshop were known for their jeans. Otherwise it was just casual clothing. What was the first item of clothing you remember getting totally fixated on, something you had to have? Some Lee denim shorts when I was 5 years old. Mum said I never wanted to take them off. Then when I was 19 I got a Nom D short Peacoat. Still have it. What was the turning point, the moment you switched off any pursuit of a standard 9 to 5 job and made fashion your full time career? When I came back from London when I was 23. I had been working as a accountants assistant. I used to go to work when it was dark and come home when it was dark… depressing. Over the last ten years you’ve achieved some amazing things. Which years stand out? Year 1: 2005. Going out alone and setting up Stem Distribution Ltd. Before that I had been in partnership with another distribution company for 7 years. Being able to go my own way and make the path I wanted to head. This enabled me to pick up some of the really great fashion labels that I have today. We now have over 20 brands that we distribute through New Zealand and Australia. Year 2: 2009. I opened the first Black Box by accident almost. I was looking for a space for my partner, who was moving back from Sydney, to set up her sales and PR business and keep driving past. What an incredible space I thought… maybe I should open a store as well? Year 3: 2010. 1 year after opening that store we opened ‘The Department Store‘. It was 6 months from deciding to do it to opening. What has been the ultimate peak for you, the moment when everything came together? Opening the second Black Box in The Department Store, and Stem and Stolen Girlfriends Club all growing. What things have kept you truly focused through these years? The people that I work with. Very important to have great staff and business partners. They inspire me and make my life a whole lot better. Love of the industry I am in. Although it is quite a small market it is a lot of fun and changes all the time. Four ranges a year to sell/buy and work with. What is your ultimate vision for the next five years? I am concentrating on distribution in the Australian market and building up the brand base. Taking Black Box online and opening two new concept stores. ‘Cloudy Bay, Define Your Vintage’ will be held on Tuesday 5th July, Wednesday 6th July and Thursday 7th July at Starkwhite Gallery, 150 Karangahape Rd, Auckland. Ticket sales are limited, $45 per person, and will be available online mid June at defineyourvintage.co.nz.

the major factor in human nature found additional support in the sweeping and uncritical interpretations of the inadequately devised intelligence tests administered to the rank and file of the armed forces during the First World War. Before psychologists and such critics as Walter Lippmann showed the inadequacy of the tests, the results were cited with a note of triumph by immigra- tion restrictionists, who had long opposed the accep- tance of newcomers from southern and eastern Europe on the ground of innate inferiority and unassimilability, and also by those convinced of the inherent and irremediable inferiority of American Negroes. The contentions of the hereditarians, and the expo- nents of an unchangeable human nature with inherent class and race differences, met with opposition from humanitarians, including such leaders as Jane Addams, and from sociologists who insisted that unequal achievements and evidences of social ineffectiveness and dereliction were explicable in terms of the mores, and by the ways in which the environment determined the qualities and virtues that the individual in any society tries to attain or the vices that he attempts to avoid: in other words, the values in any society are the formulators of the characters of men. The most effective refutations in the nature versus nurture con- troversy of the extreme hereditarian position were those of a characteristically American school of psychologists—the functionalists—and of the social philosophers and social scientists who shared their basic The dominant emphasis of Wundt and his disciples on the structure or contents of mental experience through measurement and introspective analysis met with some opposition in Europe (Oswald Külpe, Édouard Claparède, and others). But it was most tellingly challenged in America by what came to be known as functional psychology. In brief, influenced by evolutionary theory this psychology assumed that at one or another stage in the history of man the need for each mental process had become sufficiently demanding to result in the emergence of a particular process or function. Thus sense perception, emotion, and mental images developed as functions in the orga- nism's evolution. Thinking resulted when instinct and habit failed to resolve a conflict or tension in the effort of the organism to adjust itself to an environmental situation. The functionalists attached great importance, as a result, to motor activity, to usefulness of the func- tional operations of the organism (i.e., mind), and to a dynamic process as opposed to a static equilibrium. The first clear and explicit exposition of the func- tional view seems to have been that of John Dewey in 1884. He insisted on recognizing mental life as an organic unitary process, not as a theater for the exhibi- tion of independent autonomous faculties or as a rendezvous in which isolated, atomic sensations and ideas gathered, held “external converse,” and then parted forever. In addition, Dewey emphasized the importance of the relationships of an individual life to other lives organized in society. “The idea of envi ronment is a necessity to the idea of organism, and with the conception of environment comes the impos- sibility of considering psychical life as an individual, isolated thing developing in a vacuum” (“The New Psychology”). In 1896 Dewey's famous paper on the reflex arc, which rejected the mechanistic and dualistic stimulus-response principle, noted that the organism is an active, not passive, perceiver of stimuli. Behavior, he insisted, is not disjoined into stimuli and responses but is continuous, and the sensory and motor aspects of behavior blend continuously with each other. This opened the door to technical support for a psychology of motor activity, adjustment, and functional interrela- tionships between organism and environment. Meanwhile, in his vividly and racily written Princi- ples of Psychology (1890) William James presented the findings of the “new psychology”—but not without critical reservations.

With his imaginative, poetical zest for unresolved myster

ies, exceptional personalities, peak experiences, and the reality of values no less than that of facts, James felt that “official” psychology was only a limited, however useful, means to understanding human nature. His treatment of the nervous system, the physiology of sense, the instincts, the emotions, and the will, together with the central importance he attached to habit, reflected the purposive or functional as opposed to the structural view. The associationism that characterized the structural position of Wundt and such American disciples as E. B. Titchener, was rejected for a transitory, fluctuating “stream of con- sciousness,” unified rather than atomistic, and related to choice. In brief, James's conception of the “mind” was that of the functional and dynamic adjustment of the organism to its environment, including the un- predictable and twilight regions of experience. The functional psychology achieved its fullest de- velopment at the University of Chicago during Dewey's affiliation with it (1894-1904) and in the years that followed. George Herbert Mead developed the idea of the inherent relatedness of self to other selves, which James had touched on, into a major concept (role theory). Of great importance also was his emphasis on the idea that thinking and social activity are aspects of the same basic process, that is, communication or symbolic behavior as mechanisms for both social con- trol and social progress. James Rowland Angell showed, experimentally, how reaction time is a function of attention and explicated the relation of organic processes to consciousness (James Rowland Angell, Psychology, New York [1908], with preface to the first edition, and Murchison, III, 5-29). Others in the Chicago school applied functional psychology to ethics, law, and social institutions. Dewey himself, in his con- tinuing work in logic, education, aesthetics, and social psychology overshadowed his sometime colleagues. Among the issues to which he addressed himself in later years were the nature-nurture controversy, which he helped resolve by showing that each is dependent on and inseparable from the other (Dewey, 1922; 1939); the contention that such social institutions as war and capitalism are the inevitable expression of human na- ture (or instincts), which he refuted by showing that social institutions are expressions of certain inherent human impulses or needs that might be channeled into other social expressions, as was the case in various cultures; and the question whether the very term human nature was any longer a useful concept, at least unless it was very carefully defined (“Does Human Nature Change?,” The Rotarian, 52 [Feb. 1938], 8-11ff.). Functionalism became absorbed into the main stream of psychology in America. Several later emphases did, however, reflect some of its special aspects. This was true, for example, of the interpersonal psychiatry of Harry Stack Sullivan, Conceptions of Modern Psychiatry (1956), of the opposition of the Gestalt school to a discrete, atomistic, and mechanistic conception of behavior and, in a sense, of Kurt Lewin's field theory, which held that if an individual's behavior were to be understood it must be in terms of the life space, i.e., of the relation of the individual to his envi- ronment over time and at the particular moment. Even behaviorism, despite important differences and the criticisms functionalists and behaviorists had for each other, was in some respects an outgrowth of the Chicago school. Many insisted that behaviorism was a typically American psychology although others related it to a long line of forerunners including Democritus, La Mettrie, Condillac, and their successors. It was cer- tainly related to the “connectionist” psychology of E. L. Thorndike who had made the stimulus-response in the context of neurons and synapses a central feature of his concept of learning. Behaviorism also de- rived

that too much before it became fashionable to attach oneself to a cause. More than 2,00,000 people signed a petition initiated by the company urging White House to allocate more funds towards Breast Cancer Research. Before we knew it, the Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign was born to raise awareness that early detection of breast cancer can save lives. In 2010, the BCA reached more than 2 billion people in more than 70 countries by communicating to women and men around the world to conquer breast cancer once and for all. “Women around the world are realizing that knowledge is power and, therefore, the fear that once surrounded breast cancer is diminishing. Today we are making more progress than ever and reaching more people each year with the message that if a localized breast cancer is detected early, it’s 98 per cent curable,” says Ms Lauder on the movement she started two decades back. Shiseido for Japan The world’s oldest skin care company, Shiseido, is today a global giant, but has never forgotten its origins. It all began in Japan. Japan experienced one of the worst natural disasters in modern times with multiple earthquakes, tsunami, subsequent flooding in 2011, causing immense loss of life and property. When the country thought it was over, a possible nuclear disaster hung above its future. Shiseido was amongst the first companies in the world to stand up and take charge of the situation. Apart from making huge monetary contributions towards relief efforts, the company dispatched its Beauty Consultants to the relief camps, who provided massages to everyone affected, making life a bit better for those traumatized. Tonnes of cosmetic and personal care products were sent to victims with instructions on preventing and dealing with thrombosis that evacuees were at risk of suffering from. The company also initiated the Shiseido Social Contribution Club – Hanatsubaki Fund - which urges everyone to donate towards rehabilitation of the victims. Diane von Fürstenberg, a crusader for everything good! Ms Fürstenberg arrived in the fashion world in 1972 with her iconic wrap dress and the seed of what is today a full fashion house. By 1976, she had sold millions of her dresses, coming to symbolise female power and freedom to an entire generation. Today DVF is a fashion force to reckon with. Elected as Council of Fashion Designers of America’s president in 2006, she understands the responsibility she has at the helm of a luxury business and the meaningful impact it can have on people’s lives. A firm believer in the power of women, Diane sits on the board of Vital Voices, a women’s leadership organization that empowers emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the world. She has pushed successfully for model age limits to be increased on the ramps and stressing on not using underweight girls at any showing by American designers. DVF has always been at the forefront when it comes to using multi-racial talents for its shows and publicity. Ms Fürstenberg remains committed to making the most of her title and famous fashion house for humanitarian causes. Tiffany’s Oceanic Initiative In 2009, the windows of Tiffany & Co.’s retail stores worldwide featured images of coral reefs, publicising Tiffany’s commitment since 2002 not to use coral in its designs. This ‘Under the Sea’ social campaign was designed to raise awareness about the damage coral harvesting inflicts on critically important marine ecosystems. Destructive fishing methods, climate change and their removal for use as decorative objects and jewellery caused the ‘Coral Crisis’ which urged the brand to discontinue selling coral jewellery in 2002. In addition, Tiffany supports SeaWeb, a non-profit organization, and the ‘Too Precious to Wear’ campaign, designed to educate consumers and retailers about coral conservation. Tiffany also backs the reauthorization of a US Coral Reef Conservation Act and the addition of red coral to the Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), which lists species that could become threatened with extinction if trade is not carefully monitored. Tiffany is committed to what it calls ‘sustainable style’, enduring designs of

beauty that pose no threat to natural resources. Louis Vuitton Goes Green! LVMH’s champion luxury brand, Louis Vuitton, is at the forefront of the social responsibility campaign, and is undoubtedly one luxury brand which is going all out to cover as many causes as possible, with the planet Earth being the core cause. Since 1998, Vuitton awoke to its accountability towards the environment through the establishment of the Green House Gas Protocol. Since then, it has taken efforts to cut down on its carbon footprint by reducing employee travel, installing energy saving equipment and buildings, and making green-conscious stores. A few years ago, the brand launched a ‘Core Values’ ad campaign, that has featured tennis player Andre Agassi, rocker Keith Richards and, most recently, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The ads have emphasized the company’s support for the non-profit group Climate Project, and the celebrities appearing in them have donated at least part of their modelling to the organization which was founded by Al Gore. The brand also recently took a stake in Edun, an organic-clothing company, founded by the singer Bono and his wife, to emphasise the importance of recyclable and sustainable resources.

I started calling Sam "The Plumber" since he looked in every toilet after finding ammo in one once. I've got some other VR games I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I wanted to stock up a little for my week off of work later in the month. I'm off to have coffee with mom later this morning - we'll likely go over her will or something equally fun. Work is pretty free-form today - people are doing presentations on various topics and we jump around listening to people talk about things. My work project strangely became fun, despite my assessment that we're unlikely to be successful. It still might end up being useful work, and I might as well enjoy the ride.

I started calling Sam "The Plumber" since he looked in every toilet after finding ammo in one once. I've got some other VR games I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I wanted to stock up a little for my week off of work later in the month. I'm off to have coffee with mom later this morning - we'll likely go over her will or something equally fun. Work is pretty free-form today - people are doing presentations on various topics and we jump around listening to people talk about things. My work project strangely became fun, despite my assessment that we're unlikely to be successful. It still might end up being useful work, and I might as well enjoy the ride.

$. We find similar systematics in test calculations in which we modify the $\overline{Y_e}(\rho)$ trajectories of low-$T$ models to yield larger $Y_e$ at bounce (see Sec.~\ref{sec:tempye}). An increase of the inner-core $Y_e$ by $10\%$ ($20\%$) leads to an increase of $M_{\mathrm{ic,b}}$ by $\sim 11\%$ ($\sim 25\%$). It is important to note that the nonrotating AIC models discussed above as well as all of the other models considered in this study, experience prompt hydrodynamic explosions. The bounce shock, once formed, does slow down, but never stalls and steadily propagates outwards. While the shock propagation is insensitive to the initial WD temperature profile, it shows significant dependence on the initial WD central density: Owing to the greater initial compactness and the steeper density gradient of the higher-density models, the shock propagation in those models is faster and the shock remains stronger when it reaches the WD surface. For example, in the lowest-density progenitor model AU0, the shock reaches the surface within $ \sim 120$ ms after its formation, while in the highest density model DU0, it needs only $ \sim 80$ ms. We point out that Dessart~et~al.~\cite{dessart_06_a, dessart_07_a} and previous AIC studies~\cite{woosley_92_a, fryer_99_a} reported significant shock stagnation in the postbounce phase of AIC due to the dissociation of infalling material and neutrino losses from the postshock region. Our present computational approach includes dissociation (through the EOS, see Sec. \ref{sec:eos}), but does not account for neutrino losses in the postbounce phase. Hence, the "prompt" explosions in our models are most likely an artifact of our incomplete treatment of the postbounce physics. \begin{figure} \centerline{\includegraphics[width = 86 mm, angle = 0]{Figures/f08.eps}} \caption{Times to core bounce from the onset of collapse as a function of initial central angular velocity $\Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}}$.

the same stages as AIC without rotation and exhibits similar general features, including the well defined split of the WD into an inner core that is in sonic contact and collapses quasi-homologously\footnote{The collapse is \emph{quasi}-homologous because in this case the relation between the infall velocity $v_r$ depends on both the radial coordinate and on the polar coordinate~\cite{zwerger_97_a}.}, and a supersonically infalling outer core. Conservation of angular momentum leads to an increase of the angular velocity $\Omega \propto \varpi^{-2}$ and of the centrifugal acceleration $a_{\mathrm{cent}} = \Omega^2 \varpi \propto \varpi^{-3}$. The latter has opposite sign to gravitational acceleration, hence provides increasing \emph{centrifugal support} during collapse, slowing down the contraction and, if sufficiently strong, leading to centrifugally-induced core bounce only slightly above nuclear density or even at subnuclear density~\cite{tohline_84_a,moenchmeyer_91_a}. \begin{figure} \centerline{\includegraphics[width = 86 mm]{Figures/f10.eps}} \caption{The inner core parameter $ \beta_{\mathrm{ic,b}} $ at the time of bounce for all low-$T$ AIC models plotted as a function of the precollapse central angular velocity $ \Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}} $. For models with slow to moderately-rapid rotation, $ \beta_{\mathrm{ic, b}} $ increases roughly linearly with $ \Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ (at fixed $ \rho_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ and rotation law). In more rapidly rotating models, the growth of $ \beta_{\mathrm{ic, b}} $ saturates at $ \sim 24.5 \, \% $, and further increase of the progenitor rotation results in a decrease of $ \beta_{\mathrm{ic, b}} $. Since D models experience less spin-up during collapse than A models, an increase of $ \rho_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ at fixed $ \Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ and rotation law results in a decrease of $ \beta_{\mathrm{ic,b}} $. A uniformly rotating model with a given $ \Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ and $ \rho_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ reaches smaller $ \beta_{\mathrm{ic,b}} $ than the differentially rotating model with the same $ \Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}} $ and $ \rho_{\mathrm{c,i}} $. The symbol convention for the various sets is explained in the caption of Fig.~\ref{fig:collapse_times}.} \label{fig:betaic_vs_omega} \end{figure} Just as in the case of nonrotating AIC, models of set A collapse more slowly than D models because of the dependence of the collapse times on the initial central densities. However, due to centrifugal support, the collapse times grow with increasing precollapse rotation. This is visualized in Fig.~\ref{fig:collapse_times} in which we plot the time to core bounce as a function of the initial central angular velocity $\Omega_{\mathrm{c,i}}$. The maximum angular velocity of uniformly rotating models is limited by the WD surface mass-shedding limit and is $\sim 3.5\,\mathrm{rad\,s}^{-1}$ ($\sim 9.5\,\mathrm{rad\,s}^{-1}$) in model AU5 (DU7). The effect of rotation on the collapse time of uniformly rotating models (dark-green symbols in Fig.~\ref{fig:collapse_times}) is small and the time to core bounce increases by $\sim5\%$ from zero to maximum precollapse rotation in model set A. The more compact D models collapse much faster than their lower initial density A counterparts and, in addition, experience a smaller spin-up of their more compact inner cores. Hence, uniformly rotating D models are less affected by rotation and their collapse times vary by only $\sim 0.8\%$ from zero to maximum rotation. As mentioned in Sec.~\ref{sec

Paramita Landscape diversity for healthy diets At different scales, from village to global level, the quality of diets is linked to the quality of the landscapes that fundamentally provide for them. Landscape diversity is key to dietary diversity and therefore to good nutrition. This cluster of activity explores ways in which landscape diversity management through forests and tree-based systems/agroforestry

can contribute to healthier food systems and diets, and therefore food security and nutrition. It seeks to provide evidence, knowledge and information on the practices, mechanisms and strategies through which forests and trees on farms, and related value chains, can enhance food systems and diets under different conditions and contexts including rural–urban food system linkages. It analyses how trees contribute to various components of healthy diets in rural and urban contexts, and the ways in which these can be influenced by changing tree-cover related landscape-level patterns, including land-use transition, agricultural intensification, shifting cultivation, home gardens, cropland–forest mosaics and forest management intensities. This cluster also assesses how inland water, fish, insects, bush meat and wild indigenous tree products can form parts of diverse diets in rural and urban contexts, compatible with sustainable harvest intensities. The evidence generated is used by land planners, decision makers, development agencies and communities for developing interventions, implementing them and evaluating failures and successes as a basis for further learning. The overall objective is the provision of means for an increase of on-farm production of a diversity of fruits, nuts, vegetables and legumes, and increased amounts of collected wild resources including wild fruits, vegetables, bush meat, mushrooms, insects and fish from forests. It also aims at increased value capture by producers/collectors of nutrient-rich food, reduced post-harvest losses of wild and cultivated nutrient-rich food, and increased incomes and employment. Finally, it targets increased dietary diversity of low-income rural and urban consumers using a variety of nutrient-rich wild and cultivated foods available during economic, social and/or environmental shocks. • Stocktaking of statistical datasets that link dietary diversity to species-level and genetic diversity of agricultural and associated landscapes, and process-level models that interpret this in terms of availability, access and behavioral patterns, setting priorities for further work by FTA and partners; • Analysis of priorities and options for developing capacities of value-chain actors (including input suppliers, producers, processors, retailers and traders) on production, post-harvest handling, processing, marketing and consumption of nutrient-rich foods derived at landscape scale; • An impact study of the effectiveness of interventions by development partners aimed at supporting dietary diversity through diverse landscapes; • Protocols for the analysis of nutritional variation in the seeds of Parkia biglobosa along an environmental gradient and soil types in Burkina Faso.

Photo by ICRAF Adaptive landscape institutions In most landscapes, various interventions to meet the Sustainable Development Goals tend to be conducted in parallel, driven by different stakeholders with varying interests. However, in a landscape, what happens in one sector impacts other sectors and hence there is a need to integrate actions by multiple stakeholders. This cluster of activity aims to provide ways for institutionalizing, on the ground, the landscape approach, in a bid to create appropriately informed governance schemes and evidence-based environments for collective decisions, to manage tradeoffs and maximize synergies between various actors and sectors, and have other complex dynamics well considered in order to achieve multiple objectives. Investments for restoring ecosystem services tend to be uncoordinated, unaware of enabling or disabling laws and policies, and largely driven by the perspectives of the investors rather than ecosystem and community needs. An integrated approach will promote synergy, avoid duplication of efforts and provide opportunities for shared learning. There are many ways by which ecosystem services can be restored within landscapes in terms of both different desired changes (e.g. restoration to forest or agroforest, use of ecosystem-service-friendly agroforestry practices) and different types of intervention (regulations, incentives or markets for ecosystem services). There is a need to devise processes and institutions to help stakeholders understand the range of possible options available in a landscape and to make decisions given multiple objectives. In addition, there is growing concern for the need to provide attractive employment and livelihood perspectives for young people in agriculture and forestry. Many countries are confronted with an aging population of farmers and/or an increasing active population with high rates of youth un

Lill has that pearly tone with a touch of imperial grandeur honed immaculately and Beethoven is his forte… It was clear that Lill is a world apart from the modern-day piano school, he has the old artistry and style, whereas many of our contemporary pianists are ultra-clinical and often without the artistry formed over many years. This was a deeply thought through performance by this great artist in his seventy-sixth year and before the close of the slow movement, we heard an attractive solo passage from the soloist. In the finale, Lill started briskly, his playing was bright, cheerful and upbeat, again he found the colours and that extra nuance from decades of experience, almost fifty years since he won the Tchaikovsky Competition… ably assisted by this fine orchestra and its world-class woodwind.” Gregor Tassie, Seen and Heard International, 17 April 2019 16 Feb 19 Tchaikovsky Piano Concert No. 1 Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool with the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Michael Seal. “From the opening phrase one realised he was not in for the bravado, highly virtuosic showpiece many pianists have turned this work into. What we got was a paced, thoughtful and authoritative performance throughout: the musicians were there to serve the music, not the other way around. This was not only refreshing but allowed musical detail – lost when taken at breakneck speeds – to be heard. As the broad opening faded never to return, the piano and orchestra sounded as one: the approach Lill took was one of equal partnership… As the movement progressed, there were ideas, phrases and melodies I was unaware of when overpowered by shows of blatant showmanship. In the cadenza Lill sparkled and showed what a skilled musician he is, one who knows how to balance the hands and sounds, textures and timbres of the piano: his left hand chords had a balance and richness and the right had a warmth of tone.” Leighton Jones, Bachtrack.com, 17 February 2019 “Lill, who having given his first piano recital when he was nine brings decades of experience to the stage, launched in to the extended opening allegro in muscular, full-bodied fashion… …Lill also showcased a lovely creamily smooth touch, both in the sweeping first movement and also in a delicate andantino, while the allegro finale was a masterclass in both spicy pacing and sinuous phrasing.” **** Catherine Jones, Arts City Liverpool, 17 February 2019 06 Jun 17 Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.2 Royal Festival Hall, London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Tadaaki Otaka. “John Lill is without question one of the finest living pianists, and his account of the solo part was of outstanding quality, underpinned at all times by a classical restraint, a quality that does not come amiss in times of self-indulgent performances of Tchaikovsky. But Lill’s restraint does not abjure a wondrous combination of the sensitive and muscular, with a deep sense of poetry and much subtlety of nuance and touch. As just one example, his pianissimo entry at the second cadenza in the first movement was breathtakingly seamless, so subtle that one had to convince oneself that the orchestra had finished playing and the piano had entered.” Robert Matthew-Walker, Classical Source, 7 June 2017 “Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto is hardly omnipresent in the concert hall either – unlike the veteran soloist

Two former Tesco executives accused of masterminding a fraud that triggered the biggest financial crisis in the supermarket chain’s 100-year history have been cleared after the judge threw out the case stating the prosecution case was “so weak” it should not be before a jury. Chris Bush and John Scouler were acquitted after the judge Sir John Royce dismissed the case brought by the Serious Fraud Office

(SFO) in the wake of the 2014 accounting scandal that wiped £2bn off the value of Tesco shares in one day. “I concluded that, in certain crucial areas, the prosecution’s case was so weak that it should not be left for a jury’s consideration,” said Royce of his decision to abort the two-month trial which he added was “the end of a long saga”. Bush, who at 52 had spent his entire adult life working for Tesco until being suspended in 2014, welcomed the end of a “four-year ordeal”. The court had heard that Bush had “dedicated his life” to the supermarket. He said he was looking forward to sleep and “spending Christmas with my family” now that it was over. Scouler was also “very happy” after the men were both cleared of one count of fraud and another of false accounting. The case stemmed from one of the most shocking episodes in recent corporate history, just after Dave Lewis took over as chief executive, replacing Philip Clarke, who had presided over a big decline in Tesco’s fortunes. On 22 September 2014 Lewis told the City that forensic accountants and lawyers had been called in to scrutinise its books after a whistleblower claimed payments from suppliers were being manipulated to make the grocer’s finances look healthier. At the time Tesco said the rogue practice had inflated profits by £250m. Bush and Scouler, who in 2014 was Tesco’s UK food commercial director, both stood trial last year but the case was abandoned before the jury was sent out. The SFO pursued a second trial which started two months ago. The SFO fought the dismissal but the defendants, who Royce said were “two men hitherto of impeccable character,” were acquitted by court of appeal judges on Wednesday. This could not be reported until the jury was discharged on Thursday. The acquittal of the two men means neither Tesco nor any of its executives have been successfully prosecuted over the accounting scandal, which destroyed investor confidence in what had been one of Britain’s most celebrated companies. Given the heavy demands placed on jurors – the trial involved examining thousands of pages of complex internal documents – the judge excused them from further service for 20 years. The case’s failure represents a huge embarrassment for the SFO which was estimated to have spent more than £10m pursuing the former Tesco senior managers. It was still considering whether to launch a retrial of a third former director, Carl Rogberg, who has been facing the same charges. The agency has suffered a string of high-profile failures including the 2016 collapse of a trial of five brokers accused of helping the convicted trader Tom Hayes to rig the Libor rate. Ross Dixon, a partner at the law firm Hickman and Rose which advised Bush, claimed the SFO had made “many basic mistakes” that “resulted in a four year ordeal … and the waste of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money”.

Cooper owns 35 percent of ACTR, which will produce truck and bus radial (TBR) tires for global markets. The ceremonial first tire was the centerpiece of a special event held at the facility on Nov. 18 to celebrate construction of the plant. The plant is expected to be operational and producing tires on a commercial level by early 2020. At full capacity, production is expected to be approximately 2 million tires annually. Kal Tire opens OTR tire retread plant in Mexico Tire Business reports that Canada-based Kal Tire, one of North America’s largest commercial tire dealers, has opened an OTR tire retreading facility in Canancea, Mexico in order to supply a number of open-pit copper mines in northwest Mexico. Kal Tire operates four other earthmover tire retreading facilities located in Vernon, British Columbia; Alfreton, England; Accra, Ghana; and La Negra, Chile. The new OTR retread plant is the company’s first to use a robot for skiving and tread grooving, improving access to custom tread designs to best suit each site’s conditions. This technology was developed in collaboration with Marangoni Group’s Tyre Retreading Machinery (TRM) business, which is based in Trento, Italy. The 32,300-square-foot factory is designed to process tires with rim diameters up to 63 inches. Current capacity is 80 tires per month initially, but capacity can be increased to meet demand. The factory employs 40 workers. The cost of the investment was not disclosed. Bridgestone brings first at-scale use of recovered carbon black to tire market Filed under: Carbon Black, Recovered Carbon Black, Tires, Uncategorized — Notch @ 1:49 am On November 20, Bridgestone Americas, Inc. announced the industry’s first at-scale use of recovered carbon black (rCB) in the tire market as part of its long-standing partnership with Delta-Energy Group, LLC. The move to at-scale commercialization of D-E Black®, Delta-Energy Group’s proprietary rCB product recovered from EOL tires, marks a significant milestone in achieving Bridgestone Group’s long-term environmental vision of targeting 100% sustainable materials – and contributing to a reduction of over 50% CO2 emissions – by the year 2050 and beyond. The process by Delta-Energy Group to extract materials produces 81% less CO2 per ton as compared to virgin carbon black. The investment also serves Bridgestone’s larger mission to drive toward a circular economy that eliminates waste through the continual use of resources, according to the company. Bridgestone began evaluating Delta-Energy’s materials in 2007 and became an equity partner in late 2014. Since that time, the use of D-E Black as a partial replacement for vCB in new tires has undergone extensive

studies to evaluate the feasibility of replacing coal with another source of primary energy, such as gas or biomass. All Michelin plants will phase out the use of coal by 2030 at the latest. Dunlop Aircraft Tyres considering new plant in Indonesia Filed under: Tires — Notch @ 10:21 pm Tire Business reports that Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd. is evaluating the possibility of building an aircraft tire factory in Indonesia.

Since that time, the use of D-E Black as a partial replacement for vCB in new tires has undergone extensive

testing to ensure compliance with the high standards and superior quality and performance for which Bridgestone tires are known. To date, Bridgestone has purchased approximately 235 metric tons of rCB, the equivalent of more than 70,000 EOL tires, resulting in the reduction of approximately 765,000 pounds of CO2 emissions, compared to using vCB. By the end of 2020, Bridgestone plans to increase the use of D-E Black to 6,800 metric tons, equivalent to about 2 million EOL tires and a reduction of about 24 million pounds of carbon emissions. Bob Genovese, Delta-Energy CEO, said in the press release that Delta-Energy has plans to build several more plants in North America over the next few years to produce D-E Black. Bridgestone is using D-E Black in high-quality tires for agriculture and passenger applications across multiple plants in the Americas, including the Bridgestone Des Moines Agriculture Tire Plant, Aiken County Passenger Tire Plant, and the Bridgestone Cuernavaca Tire Plant. The company is currently evaluating new opportunities to expand its usage of D-E Black into additional plants and product lines. Hankook postpones truck tire plant in Hungary Filed under: Carbon Black, Rubber Chemicals, Silica, Tires — Notch @ 2:06 pm Tire Business (via European Rubber Journal) reports that Hankook Tire & Technology Co. Ltd. has postponed plans to establish a $318 million truck and bus tire plant at its existing car tire factory in Rácalmás, Hungary. The project was announced in March 2018 and involved the construction of a separate plant to produce 550,000 medium and heavy truck/bus tires per year. The postponement does “not mean the cancellation of that plan,” Hankook said in a written statement to ERJ on Oct. 2. The current economic downturn, especially in the automotive industry, was a factor behind the decision, said Felix Kinzer, head of communications at Hankook Tire Europe. The tire maker, he added, is undergoing “mediations” with various stakeholders for future execution of the plan, which would mark the site’s fourth round of expansion. “Our company has a mid- to long-term plan for truck tire sales growth on the European continent and is reviewing various options,” Mr. Kinzer said. Nokian’s US plant begins production On October 2, Nokian Tyres celebrated the official opening of its North American production factory in Dayton, Tennessee. The 830,000-square foot complex will produce approximately four million tires per year once it reaches full capacity. At that stage, the company will employ as many as 400 workers. The factory is currently in the trial production stage and will be ready to make tires for commercial use in early 2020. Nokian Tyres broke ground on the factory in September 2017, and the company has set a goal to double its North American sales in five years. Founded and headquartered in Finland, Nokian Tyres operates factories in Finland, Russia, and now the United States. At the Dayton factory, the company aims to fill expanding North American demand and seize on opportunities in the all-season and all-weather markets. Yokohama in talks to acquire Prometeon Filed under: Tires — Notch @ 9:39 pm Tire Business reports that Yokohama Rubber is in advanced talks to acquire Prometeon Tire Group, the former industrial tires unit of Pirelli. In a written statement to ERJ, a source close to PTG minority shareholder Aeolus Tyres said negotiations were ongoing on the subject – without elaborating further. “YRC have signed a ‘no shop’ [exclusivity] contract with PTG and are now conducting a thorough due diligence,” said another contact, adding that the deal was in a ” fairly advanced” stage. BKT suspends plans for US tire plant Tire Business reports that Balkrishna Industries Ltd.

lot about studying abroad or what I might get my masters in one day. I'm definitely going to be looking into Study Abroad options for after my graduation date--look out Mom, here I come! The Dean of my performing arts department even mentioned how good of an idea she thinks it is in class the other day--so there. But really, there's so much more to learn and discover. And the best artists are the ones that experience a wide variety of things, so they can apply those experiences to their art. If all I ever do is theatre, I'll fail as an artist. And volunteer work in a foreign country would be fun! I have a Theatre History II exam tomorrow morning to study for! It covers a pretty large time span, so I better get to work. I have to admit though, the lesson on the Theatre of the Absurd has definitely helped me research which absurdist play I want to pick for my Directing II scene. I better get on that too. I did not get cast in Some Girls, however we have a mentoring program here and my little mentizzle is officially an UNDERSTUDY! I'm so proud of her accomplishment! My Performance Technique midterm went well. I sang "Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered. Music Professor R told me that my acting was spot on, but I had pitch problems in 2 places. He told me that I don't usually have pitch problems so it was probably a result of me not supporting my breath enough in my diaphragm. I've been having a lot of problems with singing this week and last because I've been so sick, so honestly I thought it went a lot better than it would have. But I do wish I could have performed when I wasn't so sick. Either way, it's done and Music Professor enjoyed it, so what more can I ask for? I'm officially done with P-Tech for this semester! Sad, but ok because I still have Private Voice lessons to keep my singing fresh. My Personal Family Finance midterm took me a while, but I finally got it done and I think I did pretty well! Acting IV: I'm so sad this is over! I'm switching classes to work on drawing room comedy now. We performed for the last time today for Acting Professor B. We did our Greek monologues with our gestalts and everyone was just phenomenal. I am so ridiculously proud of my class. Everyone showed a new side of themselves I've never seen. There were deeper voices, stronger physicality and movment, and everyone was just so prepared. There was no nervous energy before performing, hoping you don't forget a line. There was just excitement at getting to share our work, and then shaking afterwards because we had expelled so much energy in the exercise. Then we had a great discussion afterwards about how much this lesson has helped our physicality and how we can continue to use it, and how much it's helped us improve overall. The pieces performed were selections from: Medea, Electra, Hecuba, and Antigone. It was so much fun. We had a lot of great class discussion in this course and I'll miss them. Acting Professor B gave us this last bit of wisdom: We should never be upset after not getting cast. We should walk into an audition saying, 'This is where I am, this is what I have to show you, if you don't want it I'll go somewhere else that does'. I'm very excited for next semester when I'll have Acting Professor B again for a monologue class! Voice Lessons: I had two this week, one for a makeup when I was sick. I've officially picked all the songs for my semester and I now have a CD of accompaniment music to practice with. I rehearsed my audition song for our upcoming musical HMS Pinafore. I'll also be audition for our summer theatre Okoboji, so I rehearsed a new song that I think I might use for that audition as well. I've been learning a lot about my dialect. In acting, I don't have a dialect, but for singing purposes I hold onto my Rs too long and Voice Professor C tells me often that I need to be careful. We work on special places to breathe too because I'm a newbie and I don't pay attention to it on my own. She usually has very specific ideas for what she wants, which is helpful to me. Midterms are officially done now, but the stressful week is not yet complete. I have one

more day to get through before I think things will finally settle down. Tomorrow is Crew Watch for all of my friends in their show Playing for Time. I wish them all luck! We practiced our P-Tech midterms on Monday. I knew my song, but I wasn't acting it to the best of my ability. I got the note to be sure to start acting on the first note of the music, and not when I sing. I shouldn't have had to get that note, so I definitely need to pay more attention. Music Professor had me re-run some parts of my song acting-wise, but I did it much better the second time through. We perform for our midterm tomorrow in class, and I plan on doing it right! In Acting IV today (ah! Second to last day of Greek Acting, sad) we performed our Greek monologues with our gestalts individually for Acting Professor B. She told me I really understood the assignment and I was doing a great job! It was nice to hear because I thought I was doing it right, but I was a little nervous about not having much movement (on my feet) in my monologue. I can't wait until Thursday when we get to see everyone's! It's going to be so much fun. This assignment has taught me so much. One of my classmates even mentioned to me that he had noticed that I used a gestalt in my 'crazy' scene in Playhouse Creatures. Using that gestalt really helped me make sense of that scene. I had auditions today for the next Warehouse show Some Girls. It was fun! I used one of my older monologues that I knew really well, so I wasn't nervous about the audition. I ended up making callbacks, which is always my favorite part of the whole process. It was really different from any other callbacks I've been to because we were reading with guys from outside our school. All of our guys are required to be in the upcoming musical, so the director was forced to hold open auditions to cast the 1 guy role. I read with 2 different guys and they were both talented. I had a great time meeting new people and reading these scenes. It was a carefree atmosphere and I wasn't feeling any pressure. I'll be happy with whatever the outcome, knowing that I had a good time and I felt I did well. I'm enjoying my small taste of free time lately, and I'll be sad to see it leave if I'm cast. I've had so much going on lately, and coupled with being sick it all seems a bit much. I could really use some time to breathe and relax and get myself back on track. I have a Global Village Point Form Outline due on Friday, and I'll be performing in a directing scene One Act on Saturday. I'm not off book yet and I've got a lot of work to do to make sure I'm not stressing by the end of the week. It's a really fun scene with great dialogue and characters. It's from Riches by Lee Blessing. There's even a fight scene in it! I'm playing a man (because the director couldn't find one) and my wife and I beat each other up! I love it! Anyway, I should really be studying for my Personal Family Finance Midterm for tomorrow. I'll be updating soon about being cast or not. Playhouse Creatures is done! It was a fantastic 4 days, and I had so much fun being a part of an amazing collaboration. I'm so proud of the cast, crew, and production team. We received a lot of supportive comments from the faculty and theatre patrons, so it's a job well done if you ask me. The president of my college attended, and so did most of the theatre faculty and students of the department. It's great to have a nice turnout. My mom flew in to come watch like the wonderful parent she is and I had a blast performing with her in the audience. The closing night was the best audience we had, mostly because they were theatre people and appreciated more of the jokes in the script. Striking the set wasn't as sad an occasion as it sometimes can be, and I think that's because I feel fulfilled having completed something without ever really completing it at all. I never settled on my character and I didn't stop creating new things to try during the process. I'm proud of that development. I watched the Academy Awards tonight. The competition was so tough this year. And I didn't have

the Macedonian Struggle (7.8 mi/12.6 km from the city center) When is the best time to visit Matka? • Rainiest months: May, June, April, and July (average 3.40 inches of rainfall) Editing and Writing Favorite Reads of the Last Decade I was the child in trouble for sneaking off into corners of the house with my nose stuck in a book. I read to travel to new places in time and space. I read to learn about a topic, perspective or experience that doesn’t come naturally to me or is part of my own limited experience. I read to grow, to explore. And I read because damn it, I just love reading. This decade in reading has been broad (near as I can guess I’ve read around 350 books) and rich. I thought I would pull a few of my favorites from this decade of reading into a short list with a few thoughts on why I loved them. State of Wonder by Ann Pachett (2011) I find Pachett books hit or miss maybe because I compare all of them to this adventure of a couple of female scientist in the jungle working on cutting edge research. The relationships are touching and complex. There are ethical dilemmas that make you think and it keeps an adventuresome pace. The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr (2011) This book deeply influenced how I interact with social media, my phone and technology over all for the past decade. Carr argues (with scientific research) that while our brains are moldable (like plastic) they are not elastic (they can’t snap back in a previous state) and hence we need to be careful how we let the internet shape our brain towards short term stimulus. Definitely still a very relevant read. Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less from Each Other by Sherry Turkle (2011) I read this one within months of The Shallows so it’s hard for me to think about them separately (they make great conversation partners) but this book also shaped how I chose to interacte with technology over the past decade. Turkle makes the argument that we settle for close approximations of actual relationship online and since they aren’t the real deal (rich, nuanced, IRL relationships) they leave us unsatisfied. Over the last decade as social media has grown, it’s helped me prioritized IRL friendships and not get sucked into the dissatisfaction of online social connection. Where’d You Go Bernadette? By Maria Semple (2012) This book came along at exactly the right time, as I was reshaping my life to accomodate my new role of motherhood. Bernadette Fox was a renowned architect known for innovative and visionary work until she suddenly disappears from the public eye. Twenty years later she’s a mom in Seattle and a menace to her neighbors living a giant run down home. I love this funny, quirky book about meaning, creativity, motherhood and purpose. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain (2013) Quiet changed how I lead meetings and work with groups of people in my ministry…and later how I understood my role as a parent. Susan Cain offers an insightful critique of our culture that centers around and rewards extroversion. It also provided helpful personal illumination as to why certain situations left me feeling exhausted. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (2014) Historical fiction when done well can be imaginative and challenging, touching and sharp. Doerr pulls together the story of Marie-Laure a blind girl exiled from Paris to the walled town of Saint-Malo and Werner an orphan gifted with the ability to repair radios and all sorts of communication devices as they navigate WWII. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (2015) Kristin Hannah has such a strong sense of place in each of her books and the ability to create strong female characters like no one else. This was my first Kristin Hannah book and I found it exciting and compelling following two women and the decision they made during German occupied WWII. It also opened up a world to all her other books. Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi (2016) Homegoing is not

just a good read, it’s an important book. Gyasi’s tale of two families spans centuries drawing a clear and poingant line from the American trans Atlantic slave trade to modern racism and how it shaped each generation’s inheritance, possibilities and dreams. A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (2016) Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced to live out his life in the Metropol hotel across the street from the Kremlin and so begins a story that spans the decades of change in Russia and how Rostov lives his life confined to a building filled with interesting characters. I love a multi-decade story of relationship and politics, this one was a stand out. The Power by Naomi Alderman (2016) This post-patriarchy sci-fi imagines a world in which women develop a power that suddenly gives them the opportunity to be the dominate sex. I think about the themes of this book frequently particularly the larger questions about whether power in anyone’s hands can be used sole for good, or if it ultimately corrupts? Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue (2017) A captivating look at immigration, class, race and the struggle to achieve the American Dream, Behold the Dreamers follows Jende, his wife and six year old son as they try to make a life in Harlem and become casualties of the decisions of the wealthy who brought about the 2008 crash. A great cross section of multiple issues and memorable characters. The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boyne (2017) One of my favorite books of all time, The Heart’s Invisible Furies is a coming of age story of Cyril Avery the adopted son of a wealthy and eccentric couple in 1940’s in Dublin. It’s a story of identity and meaning, self-discovery and love. I laughed, I cried, I absolutely will re-read this 500+ page tome in the next decade because it was a delight. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (2017) YA fiction often gets treated as a second tier of fiction, or fiction’s silly little cousin but Thomas’s debut novel shows that YA can tackle bold, relevant topics. The Hate U Give tackles the topic of police shooting in the black community and is one of the more important books released in the last year. Not only was it adapted into a film but it’s been assigned in schools and become an entry point for people to wrestle with issues of justice, race, police violence and class. Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward (2017) Beautiful and poignant, this novel evokes the magical realism of Toni Morrison’s Beloved as we follow thirteen year old Jojo as he wrestles with his identity and place in the world. His mom is unfocused, his father is being released from prison and his grandfather is aging. I was challenged by Jojo’s family while still rooting for him. White Fragility: Why It’s so Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo (2018) I read this book with a reading group hosted by a black clergy woman in my area. I found reading it with other people helpful accountability to tackle the difficult topic of racism. It gave me helpful framing and language and actionable suggestions. This is a must read if you are committed to anti-racism work and an important read if you have ever said “but I’m not racist.” Southernmost by Silas House (2018) A minister whose theological crisis spins in to a personal crisis, Silas House delivers a captivating story of faith and family. I love the way House creates a protagonist and plot that makes an argument for allowing questions rather than answers to shape a person’s faith and living. Heart: A History by Sandeep Jauhar (2018) I read this book for my own book research but it ended up being one of my favorite books of the decade. Jauhar tells a brief and accessible history of the modern developments in heart surgery–from closing holes in the heart, to the heart and lung bypass machine to the pacemaker. Peppered in Jauhar includes his own development as a doctor, which grounds the science in the stakes of practicing excellent medicine.

The Valiant Author: Livingston, Lesley Publisher: HarperTrophy Young Adult Fiction Fantasy The youngest daughter of a proud Celtic king, Fallon has always lived in the shadow of her older sister Sorcha’s legendary reputation as a warrior. But when Fallon was a young child, the armies of Julius Caesar invaded the island of Britain and her beloved sister was killed in battle. On the eve of her seventeenth birthday, Fallon is excited to follow in Sorcha’s footsteps and earn her rightful place in her father’s royal war band. But she never gets the chance. Instead, Fallon is captured by a group of ruthless brigands that sells her to an exclusive training school for female gladiators - and its most influential patron is none other than Julius Caesar himself. In a cruel twist of fate, Fallon’s worst enemy, the man who destroyed her family, might be her only hope of survival. Now, Fallon must overcome vicious rivalries, chilling threats and the dangerous attention of Caesar himself to survive the deadly fights that take place both in and out of the arena - and to claim her place in history among the Valiant.

The advanced review entitled “Computational Resources in Healthcare” focused on summarizing various freeware and open-source computational tools widely implemented in different healthcare sectors. This study revolves around some major areas of healthcare like drug discovery, vaccine design and development, biomarker discovery, and Internet of Things (IoT) in healthcare. “Drugs play an important role in treating any disease,” says Neelam Sharma from IIIT Delhi and one of the first co-authors of the paper. The drug development process is a time-consuming and costly affair, and thus a number of resources have been developed to facilitate it. In this study, the authors have summarized major resources commonly used for drug discovery. “To fight any disease, one should have strong immunity, and vaccines play an important role in boosting it,” says Dr. Naorem Leimarembi Devi from IIIT Delhi and one of the first co-authors of the paper. The use of vaccines has efficaciously controlled contagious diseases like polio and smallpox. The conventional approach for vaccine development is a tedious process; thus, computational tools and databases make it easier to overcome the shortcomings and enhance the possibility of discovering potential vaccine candidates. Several tools and databases are available for the identification of disease biomarkers which aids in disease diagnosis. Besides this, IoTs is an emerging field that has completely transformed the healthcare industry by bringing patients, doctors, and hospitals together. “IoT-based healthcare systems include mobile apps (AarogyaSetu), wearable devices (Fitbit) and telemedicine (eSanjeevaniOPD) has revolutionized the healthcare facilities and management,” says Satakshi Gupta from IIIT Delhi, one of the authors of the paper. The researchers have further compiled all the computational resources related to healthcare in a single health portal named “PHI: Portal for Health Informatics,” accessible at https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/. The overall aim of this web portal is to help scientific and non-scientific communities working in the healthcare sector to have a glimpse of a wide range of open and freely available resources.

a handstand is an unusual theme in sculpture, although a few versions of this model survive, all attributed to the French sculptor Barthélemy Prieur. He brilliantly captured the moment of a balancing act. The subject may have been inspired by a painting, known only from a preparatory drawing in the Louvre by Primaticcio (1504–1570), representing the Masquerade of Persepolis. This North Italian artist, who worked in France, included men standing on their hands in his composition. S91, An Acrobat, Attributed to Barthélemy Prieur Prieur travelled to Italy where he worked for four years for the Duke of Savoy in Turin. Upon his return to France, he specialised in funerary monuments, but also made small bronzes. The Wallace Collection has a few more statuettes attributed to him. In 1591 Prieur was appointed sculptor to King Henry IV of France. Although not well-known today, he was an artist who took a giant leap ahead in the making of sculpture, looking forwards to the masterly bronzes of Auguste Rodin.

October 27, 2021 Joel AlexanderLeave a Comment on HALLOWEEN KILLS is a disappointing sequel that never truly captures the spirit of the Halloween franchise HALLOWEEN KILLS is a disappointing sequel that never truly captures the spirit of the Halloween franchise What a fall it has turned out to be for horror junkies. We have the disturbing and odd Titane, the bonkers Malignant, and next week we have two more anticipated violent horror films: Antlers and Last Night in Soho. However, true horror fans will have been looking forward to HALLOWEEN KILLS, the newest sequel of the overlong slasher franchise that starts directly after the events of 2018’s Halloween reboot. David Gordon Green’s previous Halloween film was astonishingly good, and is debatably the best film in the franchise since John Carpenter’s 1978 original. Green returns to write and direct this second film in a planned Halloween trilogy, which me and many others were highly anticipating because of the amazing job he did paying homage to Carpenter’s classic in the 2018 movie. Unfortunately, in between 2018 and now it seems that Green has lost the ingredients to what makes a Halloween slasher movie fun and interesting. HALLOWEEN KILLS continues almost exactly where 2018’s Halloween left off, with Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer), and her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) escaping from the burning house with Michael Myers in it. They all assume they have finally bested the notorious serial killer, but anyone who has seen more than one Halloween movie knows that Michael Myers doesn’t go down that easy. Myers emerges from the fire with a reborn passion for murder, and in this movie he kills more than he ever has in a single Halloween movie. Along with this, the movie gives us a major subplot involving the mob mentality of the town of Haddonfield, Illinois in which they all come together to track down and kill Michael. For the first 20-30 minutes of HALLOWEEN KILLS, the movie feels as though it has little to no plot other than just continuing the ending of the previous movie. The beginning includes many drawn-out flashbacks to the night of the original killings in 1978, all of which feel tacked on to create mediocre plot points and to include some fan service for the die-hard Halloween fans. Once a semblance of a plot begins to form, the ingredients are all so weak and forced that the movie never comes across like something that understands how to perfect the specifics of a good slasher flick or a movie in general. Green and the other screenwriters seem to have been fixated on the idea of the town of Haddonfield coming together, trying to hunt down Michael Myers, and then being consumed by their own fear in a way that further harms innocent people. This is a clear comment on how mob mentality and groupthink can cause more harm than good in a serious situation such as this, and while this isn’t a bad idea in concept, the execution feels quite ridiculous for most of the runtime and doesn’t deliver anything by the end. Possibly my biggest issue with HALLOWEEN KILLS is that it completely misses the tone and spirit that makes a slasher movie worth watching. Almost every violent death in this film (of which there are many) doesn’t match the tone of the tense buildup that leads to it. For example, there are two kills near the beginning that are built up in a lighthearted and campy way, but the deaths themselves are so disturbing that it left a bad taste in my mouth for the next 30 minutes of screentime. Meanwhile, there are another series of kills later in the movie that have a

genuinely creepy build-up, but then the actual deaths are so ridiculous and dumb that the entire scene was laughable. Green could never seem to get the tone right, which is especially surprising given how great of a job he did with Halloween 2018. Without spoiling anything, the ending of HALLOWEEN KILLS cemented the mediocre quality that the majority of this movie seems to exemplify. The writers create the setup for a truly great and gory ending with Myers shredding through basically half the town, but any slasher movie satisfaction is ruined by the most confounding and distracting camera-work possible given the situation. The kills aren’t even visible because of how badly they are shot, and a major character death is glossed over due to the fact that the camera only shows Michael Myers’ blank expression. The movie is gratuitously gory for 90 percent of the runtime, but then during the one scene where seeing the gore would have helped the impact of the movie land, nothing is shown. HALLOWEEN KILLS contains a decent amount of good ideas, but simple mistakes like these prevent the movie from being anything more than one of a great many mediocre Halloween sequels. Green proved he is more of a talented director/writer than meets the eye with 2018’s Halloween, so it’s a shame that very little of that talent is visible here. HALLOWEEN KILLS feels like it was helmed by completely different people than the last one, which had some great homages to the original John Carpenter film and knew how to create some fantastic bloody kills ripe for enjoyment. There are definitely some fun scenes within this sequel — the opening scene involving firefighters sets the tone well — but those scenes feel like exceptions to the rule this time around. The third film, titled Halloween Ends, is slated to release in 2022, and because of HALLOWEEN KILLS, audiences will be approaching that film with skepticism instead of anticipation.

At the end of November 2017, Xiaomi launched an entry-level smartphone called Xiaomi Redmi 5A, a direct successor to Xiaomi Redmi 4A, which was launched earlier this year. Like last year’s Redmi 4A, the Redmi 5A comes in two variants- a 2GB RAM model with 16GB of internal storage, and a 3GB RAM model with 32GB of internal storage. The base variant is priced at Rs 5,999, same as the Redmi 4A and the premium variant costs Rs 6,999, which again is same as that of Redmi 4A. But…there’s a twist. As a token of appreciation to Indian consumers, Xiaomi is giving away 500 crores in the form of Rs 1000 discount on the base variant of Redmi 5A for first 50 lakh units. Now, this brings the effective price of the smartphone to Rs 4,999. And at that price, there’s no competition for the device whatsoever. There are some smartphones from brands such as iVoomi, Intex, etc., but none of them is as reputed as Xiaomi. Xiaomi is also calling the Redmi 5A as ‘Desh Ka Smartphone Is the Xiaomi Redmi 5A the best entry-level smartphone? Does it live up to the expectations of the ‘Desh Ka Smartphone’ tag?

In her expectant bail appeal, she said that she was guiltless and had not carried out any criminal offences. The case has been registered and been heard in the name of (Swapna Prabha Suresh v. Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Cochin). She brought up that she had left her post as official secretary in the Consulate General Office of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and joined as an agreement staff in the Price water house Coopers Limited which is managing the Space Park Project under the State IT office. Nonetheless, she was all the while working with the Consulate as secretary on “demand premise” taking into account the COVID-19 situation.She claimed in the bail appeal that Rashid Khmis Al Sheimelli, who is the current Acting Charge of the Consulate General of UAE, had guided her to check with the traditions authorities in regards to the postponement of his transfer which showed up in the freight on June 30 and again on July 1. The Consulate General had taught her to contact the traditions official, load complex Thiruvananthapuram. As a major aspect of releasing her official obligations, she had considered the Assistant Commissioner of Customs and checked the status of the conciliatory load. According to the solicitation of the Assistant Commissioner of Customs, Air Cargo complex, the Consul General in control went to the load complex and conceded before the traditions authority that the payload had a place with him. The freight was opened on July 5 within the sight of the senior authorities from the High Commissioner of Delhi alongside the Consul General and discovered 30 kg of gold disguised in the load. She had no association or inclusion in the sneaking of the gold. She had just reached the Assistant Commissioner of Customs over telephone according to the guidelines from the Consulate General as a major aspect of her official work. She had been erroneously embroiled for the situation. She expected that there was each chance of her being embroiled for the situation. Additionally, she had no criminal forerunners. Subsequently, she argued that the Assistant Commissioner of Customs be coordinated to discharge her on bail in case of her capture. Presently the case has been moved to the hands of NIA where The NIA case, as indicated by sources, will be enlisted under .Section 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 2004, which basically identify with a fear monger act and dread subsidising.

Born Bernese Emily McCray in Kearney, Nebr. on September 14, 1915, she graduated from high school in Aurora, Nebr. in 1933. In 1937, she married Don Ummel (who passed away in 1975) and together they moved to Pueblo in 1938. Bernese was a person with seemingly boundless energy.

She taught elementary school and elementary reading at Spann and Goodnight Schools, retiring in 1981. Bernese was a long time active member of the First Baptist Church. She was Calling Committee Chair of the American Association of University Women and of Delta Kappa Gamma, and Treasurer for the Pueblo Retired School Employees Association for years. She was a supporter of the Pueblo Zoo, the Nature Center, the Symphony, the Pueblo Chorale, the Rosemount Museum, the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center, the Wayside Mission, and Cooperative Care. She was always on the go. Along with a very close group of friends known as 'the Troupe,' which included Betty, Sue, Phyllis, and later, her daughter, Susan. Bernese loved to play bridge, go to concerts, theatre, and opera, and to travel to many countries including Europe, Russia, Greece, Turkey, and, her favorites, China and rafting amongst the whales off Baja California. Bernese is survived by her daughter, Susan; son, Jim; grandchildren, Kristin and Marc; eight great-grandchildren; and her younger sister, Gretchen (Ken)Troester and their family.

New article in Science by authors of the IPBES Global Assessment A December article in the journal Science distills for the scientific community the most salient and novel findings, messages and policy options of the Global Assessment Report, which was approved by representatives of the 132 member Governments of IPBES in May last year. It emphasizes five priority interventions ("levers") and eight leverage points for action to address these indirect drivers of social and economic systems, where they can make the greatest difference.

More often than not, we are faced with news stories describing horrendous acts against the public good by police. It has become apparent that police have their own agendas with telling the truth not always fitting into their narrative. Some cling to the bad apple theory of policing

Copy of another Letter from Admiral SAUNDERS to the Right Honourable Mr. Secretary PITT, Sated September 20, 1759. I HAVE the greatest Pleasure in acquainting you that the Town and the Citadel of Quebec surrendered on the 18th Instant, and I inclose you a Copy of the Articles of Capitulation. The Army took Possession of the Gates on the Land Side the same Evening, and sent Safe guards into the Town to preserve Order, and to prevent any thing being destroyed; and Captain Palliser, with a Body of Seamen, landed in the Lower town, and did the same. The next Day our Army marched in, and near a Thousand French officers, soldiers and Seamen, were embarked on board some English Catts; who shall soon proceed for France, agreeable to the Capitulation. I had the Honour to write to you the 5th Instant by the Rodney Cutter: The Troops, mentioned in that Letter, embarked on board the ships and Vessels above th town, in the Night of the 6th Inst. and at Four in the Morning of the 13th began to land on the North Shore, about a Mile and a half above the Town. General Montcalm, with his whole Army left their Camps at Beaufort, and marched to meet him. A little before Ten both Armies were formed, and the Enemy began the Attack. Our Troops received their Fire, and reserved their own, advancing till they were so near as to run in upon them, and push them with their Bayonets; by which, in a very little Time, the French gave Way, and fled to the Town in the utmost Disorder, and with great Loss; for our Troops pursued them quite to the Walls, and killed many of them upon the

General Montcalm, with his whole Army left their Camps at Beaufort, and marched to meet him. A little before Ten both Armies were formed, and the Enemy began the Attack. Our Troops received their Fire, and reserved their own, advancing till they were so near as to run in upon them, and push them with their Bayonets; by which, in a very little Time, the French gave Way, and fled to the Town in the utmost Disorder, and with great Loss; for our Troops pursued them quite to the Walls, and killed many of them upon the

Glacis, and in the Ditch; and if the Town had been further off, the whole French Army must have been destroyed. About 250 French Prisoners were taken that Day, among whom are ten Captains, and six Subaltern Officers, all of whom will go in the great Ships to England. I am sorry to acquaint you, that General Wolfe was killed in the Action; and General Monckton shot thro'the Body; but he is now supposed to be out of Danger. General Montcalm, and the three next French Officers in command, were killed; but I must refer you to Gen. Townshend (who writes by this Opportunity) for the Particulars of this Action, the State of the Garrison, and the Measures he is taking for keeping Possession of it. I am now beginning to send on Shore the Stores they will want, and Provisions for Five Thousand Men; of which I can furnish them with a sufficient Quantity. The Night of their landing, Admiral Holmes, with the Ships and Troops, was about 3 leagues above the intended landing Place: General Wolfe, with about Half his Troops, set off in Boats, and dropped down with the Tide, and were, by that Means, less liable to be discovered by the French Centinels, posted all along the Coast. The Ships followed them about three Quarters of an Hour afterwards, and got to the landing Place just in the Time that had been concerted to cover their Landing; and considering the Darkness of the Night, and the Rapidity of the Current, this was a very critical Operation, and very properly and successfully conducted. When General Wolfe, and the Troops with him, had landed, the Difficulty of gaining the top of the Hill is scarce credible; it is very steep in its Ascent, and high, and had no Part were two could go a breast; but they were obliged to pull themselves us by the Stumps and Boughs of Trees, that covered the Declivity. Immediately after our Victory over their Troops, I sent up all the Boats in the Fleet with Artillery and Ammunition; and on the 17th went up with the Men of War, in a Disposition to attack the Lower town, as soon as Gen. Townshend should be ready to attack the Upper ; but in the Evening they sent out to the Camp, and offered Terms of Capitulation. I have the farther Pleasure of acquainting you, that during this tedious Campaign there has continued a perfect good Understanding between the Army and Navy. I have received great Assistance from Admiral Durell and Holmes, and from all the Captains; indeed every Body has exerted themselves in the Execution of their Duty; even the Transports have willingly assisted me with Boats and People on the landing the Troops, and many other Services. I have the Honour to be, &c. CHARLES SAUNDERS. GENERAL MONTCALM Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Grozon, Marquis de Montcalm born Feb. 28, 1712, Ch�teau de Candiac, France died Sept. 14, 1759, Quebec French military leader. He joined the French army at age 12 and fought in several European conflicts. In 1756 he was placed in command of French troops in North America, but his commission excluded most military resources in Canada. He forced the British to surrender their post at Oswego and captured Fort William Henry (1757). At the Battle of Ticonderoga (1758), he repulsed an attack by 15,000 British troops with a force of just 3,800 men. Promoted to lieutenant general, he received authority over military affairs in Canada. In 1759 a British force of 8,500 troops under Gen. James Wolfe marched on Quebec; in the ensuing Battle of Quebec, Montcalm fought with conspicuous gallantry and was mortally wounded. � Lucie LeBlanc Consentino Washington, DC (2001) The MVVA competition proposal for the Washington Monument grounds was drawn from an interpretation of the monument's natural history as an estuarial landscape, the history of the monument grounds, and the relationship of these to the Washington Mall, one of the nation's great designed landscapes.
