were pleased to learn about MethodsNow, a new workflow solution for analytical, pharmaceutical, and biotech scientists that will provide access to the largest collection ever of analytical procedures, indexed and organized by CAS, and will save researchers time in the lab, as well as provide advancements for researchers in commercial, government, and academic organizations. This highly-innovative benchtop solution features the world’s largest collection of templated protocols in analytical chemistry and reaction science. MethodsNow will be offered as a “stand-alone” product, and selected capabilities will be offered as an add-on within the SciFinder experience.
CAS successfully launched three new products and services in 2015 including PatentPak, NCI Global, and CHEMCATS. These new offerings expanded CAS’s product portfolio with an innovative workflow improvement for scientists, a solution for regulatory professionals, and a new business model for chemical suppliers whose products are promoted to hundreds of thousands of scientists around the world via SciFinder. In 2016, CAS introduced PatentPak in STN for intellectual property professionals.
CAS databases continue to grow at record pace: a new record of more than 13.5 million new substances were added to the CAS REGISTRY in 2015, which now includes more than 105 million small molecules. This exceeds the prior record set in 2014, when 13.1 million new CAS RNs were assigned. As in recent years, growth in 2015 was driven by prophetic substances identified in patents, chemical supplier offerings in CHEMCATS, and organic growth for indexing of the literature.
The CCAS Committee met in Executive Session on March 11, 2016, where CAS management reported on highlights from 2015, including financial and strategic updates. CAS President, Manuel Guzman, reported that CAS’ sustained solutions performance continues to support ACS initiatives. The new products released in 2015 are being well-received by customers around the world as CAS continues to expand its global reach through support for the scientific enterprise, adding dedicated resources in the following seven countries: Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, Singapore, and Australia. Expansion efforts now total thirty new team members in eleven countries, bringing direct representation to nearly twenty countries.
I am pleased to report that the Committee on Chemical Abstracts Service continues to fulfill its responsibilities in a purposeful manner. Committee members provide important feedback, suggestions and questions regarding CAS solutions. We welcome input from ACS members and all CAS users through the ACS Member Network. I encourage you to stop by the CAS booth at the Convention Center to learn more about the numerous exciting initiatives underway at CAS.

Better late than never? For this issue of the CIB I review two books on bibliometrics, deferred from appearing in the wnter issue of the CIB. I discovered these books when researching my article on citations and bibliometrics in the March issue of J. Chem. Educ. (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jchemed.5b00451), a special issue devoted to chemical information. Both are highly recommended for those interested in further study of the entire field of bibliometrics or of constituent portions.

This multi-authored monograph is an excellent review and resource covering the rapid growth of the study of bibliometrics. Subject matter for this field has expanded from books in medieval times to journals and journal articles, references, citations, authors and institutions, patents, personnel management (performance reviews, hiring, firing, and promotion), and into the universe of the Internet including “gray literature”, less formal publications, social media, etc. Thirty authors have written twenty-one chapters grouped into categories including history, critiques, methods and tools, alternative metrics (altmetrics), and perspectives.

Beyond Bibliometrics: Harnessing Multidimensional Indicators of Scholarly Impact, B. Cronin, C. R. Sugimoto, Eds., MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, London, Eng., 2014, 468 p. +viii, ISBN 978-0-262-02679-6 softcover $37.
This multi-authored monograph is an excellent review and resource covering the rapid growth of the study of bibliometrics. Subject matter for this field has expanded from books in medieval times to journals and journal articles, references, citations, authors and institutions, patents, personnel management (performance reviews, hiring, firing, and promotion), and into the universe of the Internet including “gray literature”, less formal publications, social media, etc. Thirty authors have written twenty-one chapters grouped into categories including history, critiques, methods and tools, alternative metrics (altmetrics), and perspectives. All aspects | of the field have been and continue to be controversial, and these controversies are well covered.
“Beyond bibliometrics” refers to discussion of even younger “descendants” of bibliometrics, viz. webometrics and scientometrics. The rapid growth of all of these fields has been facilitated by the parallel growth in the Web, social media, and the associated venues. However, increased quantity is not always better than the arguablyassociated quality. Since “metrics” means quantitative measurement, one must be sure that one is measuring the correct phenomena or making appropriate applications.
The first two chapters cover the history of scientific communication and bibliometrics. The second section covers, in four chapters, critiques, including ethics and criteria. Section three (seven chapters), covers methods and tools including finding, evaluation, and recommending articles. Alternative metrics, covered in the six chapters of section four, discusses altmetrics, Web impact, and readership. The final section (two chapters) covers perspectives of the publishing industry and determination of science policy. Every chapter concludes with references and the book concludes with a list of authors and brief biographies and an index for the entire volume.
Scholarly Metrics Under the Microscope: From Citation Analysis to Academic Auditing, B. Cronin, C. R. Sugimoto, Eds., ASIS&T/Information Today, Medford, NJ, 2015, p. 963 + xii, ISBN 987-1-57387-499-1 hardcover $149.50.
In preparing their previous book (reviewed above), the editors discovered a large gap in the literature covering many of the topics on bibliometrics. Bibliometrics has been critiqued, due to the fact that many have used it to “pick winners” in any number of subjects, a misuse forecast by Garfield in early years. This volume cannot be a “one-stop resource,” but the editors attempt to assemble in one volume much of the literature that critiques bibliometric and highlights the limitations in its use. The result is this tome, consisting of 55 reprinted articles, divided into six sections. Part 1 covers Concepts and Theories, Part 2, Validity Issues; Part 3, Data Sources; Part 4, Indicators; Part 5, Science Policy; and Part 6, Systemic Effects. In addition to the introduction to the entire volume (which also includes Eugene Garfield’s original 1955 article), the editors have written introductions to each section, as well as an overall epilogue. If they were not already in digital form, the 55 articles were digitized by OCR, edited in Word, and had all references converted to endnotes.
Is a collection of reprints worth $150? That is for each interested individual to decide, but the additional commentaries may make it so. Of course, finding and accumulating all of the included articles is a daunting and expensive task for any individual. An alternative to purchasing the book is using a library copy, but this collection, like the original references, will not always be available. The nearby Fogler Library, at the University of Maine, does not have a copy, nor does any other library in Maine. Fortunately, I was able to obtain a review copy, and I suggest that interested individuals request that their library obtain a copy.

P. S.--In February last a number of our people were marched under a guard furnished by the governor of the state into Jackson County for the purpose of prosecuting the mob criminally; but the attorney-general of the state, and the district attorney, knowing the force and power of the mob, advised us to relinquish all hopes of criminal prosecution to effect anything against the band of outlaws, and we returned under guard without the least prospect of our obtaining our rights and possessions in Jackson County with any other means than a few companies of the United States regular troops to guard and assist us until we are safely settled.
Signed by the same as the foregoing.
LIBERTY, Clay County, Missouri, April 24, 1834.
Dear Sir: In your last communication of the 9th inst., we omitted to make inquiry concerning the evidence brought out before the court of inquiry in the case of Colonel Pitcher. The court met pursuant to adjournment on 20th of February last and for some reason unknown to us we have not been able to ascertain information concerning the opinion or decision of the court. We had hoped that the testimony would have been transmitted to your Excellency before this, that an order might be issued for the return of our arms, of which we have been wrongfully dispossessed, as we believe will clearly appear to the Commander-in- Chief when the evidence is laid before him. As suggested in your communication of February 4, we had concluded to organize according to law and apply for public arms but we feared that such a step which must be attended with public ceremonies, might produce some excitement. We have thus far delayed any movement of that nature, hoping to regain our arms from Jackson County that we might independently equip ourselves and be prepared to assist in the maintenance of our constitutional rights and liberties as guaranteed to us by our country, and also to defend our persons and property from a lawless mob, when it shall please the executive, at some future day, to put us in possession of our homes, from which we have been most wickedly expelled.
We are happy to make an expression of thanks for the willingness manifested by the executive to enforce the laws as far as he can constitutionally, "with the means furnished him by the Legislature;" and we are firmly persuaded that a future day will verify to him, that whatever aid we receive from the executive, has not been lavished upon a band of traitors, but upon a people whose respect and veneration for the laws of our country, and its pure republican principles are as great as that of any other society in the United States.
As our Jackson foes and their correspondents are busy in circulating slanderous and wicked reports concerning our people, their views, etc., we have deemed it expedient to inform your Excellency that we have received communications from our (friends) at the East informing us that a number of brethren, perhaps two or three hundred, would come to Jackson County in the course of the ensuing season; and we are satisfied that when the Jackson mob get the intelligence that a large number of our people are about to remove into that county, they will raise a great hue and cry, and circulate many bugbears through the medium of their favorite press. But we think your Excellency is well aware that our object is purely to defend ourselves and possessions against another unparalleled attack from that mob, inasmuch as the executive of this state cannot keep a military force "to protect our people in that county without transcending his powers." We want therefore the privilege of defending ourselves, and the Constitution of our country while God is willing we should have a being on his footstool.
We do not know at what (time) our friends from the East will arrive; but expect more certain intelligence in a few weeks. Whenever they do arrive it would be the wish of our people in this county, to return to our homes in company with our friends, under guard, and when once more in legal possession of our homes in Jackson County we will endeavor to take care of them without further wearying the patience of our worthy chief magistrate. We will write hereafter or send an express--during the intermediate time we would be glad to hear of the prospect of securing our arms.

lack of agreement, the precise charges are unclear, and the reasons for these women's trials remain mysterious.
Envy, Poison, and Death takes the complexity and confusion of the evidence not as a riddle to be solved, but as a revelation of social dynamics. It explores the changing factors--material, ideological, and psychological--that may have provoked these events. It focuses, in particular, on the dual role of envy (phthonos) and gossip as processes by which communities identified people and activities that were dangerous, and examines how and why those local, even individual, dynamics may have come to shape official civic decisions during a time of perceived hardship.
At first sight so puzzling, these trials reveal a vivid picture of the socio-political environment of Athens during the early-mid fourth century BCE, including responses to changes in women's status and behavior, and attitudes toward ritual activities within the city. The volume reveals some of the characters, events, and even emotions that would help to shape an emergent concept of magic: it suggests that the boundary of acceptable behavior was shifting, not only within the legal arena but also through the active involvement of society beyond the courts. BLU-RAY REVIEW: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
FILM REVIEW: Do you remember those villains? The ones that impacted you to the point that you will never forget their evil stare or their harsh words. Well, have I got a villain for you. This picture is a refreshing take on an overdone plot dealing with drugs, drug money, drug dealers, drug armies, the law, innocent bystanders, and of course, the associated hit men. It is one particular hit man, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), that takes this picture to another level. He is one of the smartest, fiercest, coldest, most methodical and ruthless killers to ever draw blood on the big screen. “Just how dangerous is he?” “Compared to what? The bubonic plague?” It will not be surprising to see Javier get an Oscar nomination for this role. Yeah, it was that good. This story is really simple, but the way the story is laid out both visually and verbally is what makes this movie so special. The performances by Tommy Lee Jones as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell, Josh Brolin as Llewelyn Moss, and Javier were stunning. Independent films usually rely on quality performances to keep it afloat and this one is no exception. Heck, this movie doesn’t even have any background music (or what I call intensity music) to help increase the intensity of a scene so it really relies on the acting and the camera to keep you tuned in and it does a great job of that. Actually no, I’m wrong, gun fire IS the intensity music.
Llewelyn Moss, a humble Texan and war veteran, is out hunting one day near the Rio Grande. As he tries to track down one of his victims, he stumbles upon the aftermath of a drug deal gone way wrong. A bunch of dead bodies, pick up trucks, and bullet shells mark the spot. As he cautiously investigates he finds a truck load of drugs and later finds a case full of cash . . . about $2 million actually. With no one alive around to claim the treasure, he takes the money for himself. Bad move. Shortly after not only does he get the Mexican drug armies and the law after him, he is unfortunate to have Anton on his tail as well. Struggling to survive, Llewelyn is determined to escape with the money. Sheriff Bell comes into the picture as the dead bodies are popping up everywhere and there seems to be some link to Llewelyn due to his truck being found at the original crime scene. Sheriff Bell seems to always be one step behind, but he continues to inch closer and closer to tracking down Llewelyn and the mystery man, Anton.
This film is visually stimulating. The camera shots and angles give the viewer an interesting perspective of the action. It truly accentuates the story and the acting. There are some appropriately gloomy brown views of the open hilly fields in Texas that transport you. That along with the other locations such as your rinky dinky roadside motels to your humble trailer parks help you relate to the characters and their circumstances. The way the camera is used around Javier heightens Anton’s power of intimidation. Overall | lack of agreement, the precise charges are unclear, and the reasons for these women's trials remain mysterious.

Josh Brolin has given one of his best performances ever with this role. You are right by his side cheering him on all the way and he does put up a good fight.
If you are the type of person that doesn’t like those funky endings that leave you saying “huh?” or “what?” or “that’s it?”, be warned. I heard those words from a few people in the theater including out of my own mouth. But don’t worry, the rest of the movie is good enough to help cover this discrepancy. Or maybe I just missed something. I haven’t read the book and from what I’m hearing the movie is very true to the book so it is meant to end that way. I don’t know, you decide and let me know. As for the Directors Coen, Ethan and Joel (Raising Arizona, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Intolerable Cruelty, The Ladykillers), add this one to their resume under highly praised works. Anton asked one of his potential victims: “What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?” Well if this coin toss leads you to not see this movie, you will lose the experience of watching a work of art.
Movie Review By Cine Marcos
[email protected]
BLU-RAY: The film is presented in 1080P widescreen in a 2.35:1 aspect ration preserving its theatrical format. The picture is just flawless, giving the film the dimension and clarity that only high definition can provide. This is the first time that I watched this masterpiece in High Definition and I have to say that it is just perfect. It is just eye popping. Not only the picture looks excellent in this release, also the sound it is good, a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (48kHz/24bit) that provides a good complement to the picture , however I was very surprised to find that the sound was not 7.1 DTS-HD. I was expecting and upgrade in the sound department in this collectors edition, However 5.1 was good enough to get high ratings.
In terms of Special Features, this collectors contains basically the same special features from previous releases. It includes "Working with the Coens Reflections of Cast and Crew", The Making of No Country For Old Men" and "Diary of a Country Sheriff". The new stuff in this release are a group of media in-depth interviews and conversations with the Coen Brothers, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem—never before available on disc—offering viewers the most comprehensive look ever at the making of No Country for Old Men. Also includes a digital copy of the film. I found some of these conversation to be very interesting and I actually enjoyed them. Unfortunately none of these special features are in high definition.

The tide of economics impacts every corner of our society, and an internship in economics places you in institutions that respond to, support, or manage the effects of these changes. Economics internships bear the challenges characteristic of a national recession. As future accountants, actuaries, mortgage loan officers, cost analysts, financial researchers, etc., interns in economics must navigate the complex systems that govern finance to benefit clients and alleviate inequality. Specialties that students may pinpoint in school include international economics, labor markets, cost-benefit analysis, and economic history. With a degree in economics, you’ll be qualified to fill any number of positions. Work at a small company or startup as part of its financial strategy department. Economics interns have the skills to work on projects that encompass financial modeling and planning, management reporting, investor partnerships. These positions will require honed research skills, mastery of the Excel spreadsheet, and the analytical know-how to interpret and present data clearly. During your stint with an internship in economics, you’ll also learn the terminology and practices of the specific workplace. Facilitate compliance with company, investor, and federal guidelines at a mortgage company; or track project activity and support management in a financial services firm. Economics students also find executive positions in non-finance related sectors, such as private retailers, government agencies, and nonprofits.

GET WELCH
The latest in an ongoing parade of exciting 2006 music headlines… Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are back in the studio working on a new album.
LANE ON THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE
One of my all-time favorite films has just been rediscovered by Anthony Lane in The New Yorker. And, as usual, the film continues to reveal new layers and possibilities. There is no Region 1 DVD I await more eagerly than this one.
SUPER SIMPSONS
You’ve probably seen the first teaser-trailer for The Simpsons’ movie, but if not, here you go.
jasdye
to quote C.M. Burns: Excellent.
though, honestly, i never awaited a Seinfeld, the Movie. maybe they can convince some of the old writers back to help out with this one (brad bird and conan o’brien come immediately to mind.)
or, it could just be the shark jump to end all shark jumps. (that’s, of course, what i’m afraid of).
Gene Branaman
“Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are back in the studio working on a new album.”
O! Frabjous day! Callou! Callay!
David Rawlings is one of the finest guitarists around. I’m very excited to heare a new record from these 2! And live shows!
Seventh Leper
Alt-country singer/songwriter Gillian Welch is currently in the studio hashing out her fourth solo set.
Fourth? How about fifth?
July 5, 2006, 6:17 pm
And the rabid Superman-bashing continues… I’m waiting for Jeffery to write his own Pulitzer-winning article, “Why the world doesn’t need Superman Returns.”
“The world doesn’t need a Christ-figure movie, and neither do I.”
I wonder what dictionary she’s using.
Standard entries are:
entitle, tr.v., -tled, -tling, -tles
1. To give a name or title to [s.one or s.th.]
2. To furnish with a right or claim to something
1. To give a name or title to; to designate
2. To bestow a title of nobility, rank, honor or dignity upon
3. (basically as 2 above)
Webster’s 1913 entry gives it thus:
En*ti”tle, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Entitled}; p. pr. &
vb. n. {Entitling}.] [OF. entituler, F. intituler, LL.
intitulare, fr. L. in + titulus title. See {Title}, and cf.
{Intitule}.]
1. To give a title to; to affix to as a name or appellation;
hence, also, to dignify by an honorary designation; to
denominate; to call; as, to entitle a book
“Commentaries;” to entitle a man “Honorable.”
That which . . . we entitle patience. –Shak.
2. To give a claim to; to qualify for, with a direct object
of the person, and a remote object of the thing; to
furnish with grounds for seeking or claiming with success;
as, an officer’s talents entitle him to command.
3. To attribute; to ascribe. [Obs.]
The ancient proverb . . . entitles this work . . .
peculiarly to God himself. –Milton.

Oklahoma City Bombing Essay
Nichols admits to helping McVeigh choose materials to construct the bomb, and even helped McVeigh the day before the bombing with building the bomb in the back of the rental Ryder truck. Even though Nichols was charged with his connection to the Oklahoma City bombings, Nichols had denied his involvement for many years. A search of Nichols home after his arrest found that he had blasting caps, guns, and a receipt that showed the purchase of ammonium nitrate that exceeded what an individual would need for personal use for lawn care. In addition, Michael Fortier was charged and sentenced to ten years after law enforcement found out that Fortier knew about McVeigh’s plans for the Oklahoma City bombing, and his failure to report it. Fortier also assisted McVeigh by receiving stolen weapons from Terry Nichols, selling the weapons, and upon McVeigh’s request, giving the money he made off of the stolen weapons to Nichols.

Mercedes-Benz Leads Indian Luxury Car Market for 7th Year in a Row François Davenne participated in the Movin’ On Connect Summit on 3 June 2021
UIC Director General François Davenne joined Jean-Pierre Farandou, CEO of SNCF, as well as speakers from the maritime and aviation industries at the Movin’On Connect summit, a world summit on sustainable mobility, on 3 June.
The speakers debated the pathway to #decarbonisation for the transport sector, with a clear consensus on the need to work together as a “freedom-providing” mobility system.
Mr Davenne said: “The priority for our sector is to choose to finance transformational projects for railways at regional and global level. Transformational projects are those that have a major impact on efficiency in the short term, such as digitalisation, seamless interconnection with other modes and capacity increase on existing infrastructure. These projects will drive modal shift to rail and public transport so that we can achieve the objectives of the UN SDGs quickly enough”.
Jean-Pierre Farandou said: “20 years later, the house is still burning, but now we are acting to fix the fire. We are mobilised to enable green mobility and combine transportation with protecting the planet”.
As part of the Movin’on 2021 trade fair, of which L’Express is a partner, François Davenne gave an interview:

Gallery Hours: Tues-Sat from noon-6pm China Just Shut Down Thousands of Factories to Fight Pollution
Oct. 24, 2017 07:53AM EST Popular
Beijing, China. Kentaro IEMOTO / Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0
In an unprecedented crackdown on pollution, the Chinese government has temporarily shut down tens of thousands of factories in an effort to improve air quality throughout industrial regions in the country.
Thousands of regulators with China's Ministry of Environment have spread across the country to inspect factories for compliance with strict new laws detailing emission standards. Electricity and gas lines to factories will be suspended until officials can determine whether or not each facility is following the law.
Many migrant workers were forced to abandon these factories and look for other work, though the Chinese Premier promised in April that while the closures would mean setbacks, the government would work to transfer these employees instead of laying them off.
In 2013, China established a bold plan to measurably improve air conditions by the end of 2017, a deadline whose looming approach has led to drastic measures geared towards hitting those targets at all costs.
These factory closures are occurring alongside large-scale moratoriums on coal use and steel production, which are two of the biggest contributors to air pollution in China's industrial regions. In August, the northern Hebei province announced that these shutdowns would remain in place from October of this year through next March. Air pollution typically spikes during this time, typically referred to as "heating season."
China is no stranger to dangerous levels of pollution. In 2013 the nation suffered from what was later dubbed "airpocalypse," a day where air pollution levels were up to 30 times higher than what is considered healthy by the World health Organization. The Guardian reported that one hospital admitted more than 900 children for respiratory ailments that day, which many saw as a wake-up call to the damaging consequences of China's growth-first development strategy.
China's rapid industrialization has come with a fair amount of environmental and social setbacks. As the manufacturing industry grew in China, so too did pollution.
Additionally, income inequality in the country has proliferated as a result of the disparity of opportunity between urban communities and rural communities, which lack access to the economic gains of the industry.
Though urban centers produce the lion's share of pollution across the country, the consequences of such devastation are not limited to wealthier city residents. Both urban and rural Chinese suffer at the hands of industrial pollution, and in both areas, it is the poorest residents who are worst affected.
Global Citizen campaigns on the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development, including goals three, 10 and 13: good health and well-being, reduced inequalities and climate action. You can take action on these issues here.
The recent halt on industrial operations across China are one of several signs that the government is serious about tackling the problem of pollution.
Since the crackdown began, more than $130 million dollars worth of fines have been levied against 18,000 companies who failed to meet the stricter environmental regulations. This may be a consequence of putting enforcement powers in the hands of taxation agencies, who have typically been more aggressive than | 1,024 | 1 |

23.12.2021 | Author: RobertDowney01 | Posted in Computers
Understanding what’s new in Windows 10 Home can help you make an informed decision about whether this particular version of windows 10 pro is right for you. If you’re looking to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8, or if you just want to see what all the fuss over this new operating system is about, read on! We’ll cover everything from what’s been added in the Anniversary Update to how it looks and feels on your everyday laptop and PC, as well as the best ways to learn about and get started with the operating system if you haven’t yet tried it out.
While app selection may still be limited, Universal Apps is a game changer. When you buy windows 10, the new feature allows you to install apps that work across multiple devices; for example, you can buy Candy Crush Saga on your smartphone and continue where you left off when you’re at home. Universal Apps are also able to access system settings like volume and brightness via Cortana, which is handy if you have your hands full with groceries or luggage.
Cortana – Your Personal Assistant
If you’re looking for your next computer, whether that’s for work or play, it’s worth taking a close look at windows pro. You may not have noticed it yet, but Microsoft has been adding some new features to its latest OS that take advantage of cutting-edge technology. The most important is Cortana: An incredibly useful personal assistant available on every device running Windows 10. She can do everything from schedule meetings to track flights and send texts—and she uses artificial intelligence (AI) to improve with use.
OneDrive – Easy Access to All Your Files
It’s easy to forget your computer at home, but it’s not so easy to forget everything you’ve saved on it. Luckily, we have OneDrive. With it, you can access all your stuff from any device with an internet connection, whether that’s your phone or another computer. That way you can always pick up where you left off and get right back to work on your home PC no matter where life takes you—at least until it runs out of power. We have OneDrive for Business too if you prefer a different flavor of Microsoft cloud storage!

Windows Hello – Login Effortlessly
In previous versions of Windows, if you wanted to | log into your computer with a password or PIN, you had to physically type it in. This was an obvious security risk—all someone had to do was glance over your shoulder and they could gain access to all of your files. Hello eliminates that risk by allowing users to sign into their computers without even typing a password. All they have to do is look at their PC and it will automatically recognize them. Plus, Hello is easier on your eyes because it takes advantage of new hardware sensors (the camera and light sensor) found on many PCs today that can measure not only how you’re positioned but also how much light is in your environment.
Microsoft Edge – Easily Get from Browsing to Watching
Microsoft Edge can also keep track of where you are as you move from one page to another. The feature is great for when you’re exploring a new website and find something that interests you. In previous versions of Microsoft Edge, all your tabs would close after leaving one page—unless they were pinned to your favorites bar—and then it was back to square one if you wanted to start over somewhere else. Now, when browsing on a single tab, click on any link on a different page within Microsoft Edge and it will open that second web page without closing what you’re currently looking at first. You’ll be able to get from browsing to watching videos (or reading articles) as quickly as possible using nothing but your computer’s trackpad or mouse!

Cancer navigation helps families in wake of loved one's diagnosis
Cancer treatment is often a difficult and painful time for the patient, but it can also be challenging for caregivers and family members. From determining the best course of treatment to attending appointments with multiple physicians to coping with the emotional stress of a diagnosis, the process can be overwhelming. That is where Piedmont’s Cancer Navigation program comes in.
Michelle Humphreys says Cancer Navigation made her father’s lung cancer treatment process much smoother for him, as well as for her mother and herself. Although the 79-year-old has since lost his battle with cancer, Humphreys says her father was comforted knowing his family had support during his treatment. “My dad was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer here at Piedmont Hospital,” she says. “He saw Dr. William Kenny in the pulmonologist’s office and they thought he had pneumonia, so they admitted him.
He had a biopsy and was then confirmed to have lung cancer.” Because he was weak when he was diagnosed, Humphreys’ father was not a candidate for chemotherapy. He underwent palliative radiation therapy with radiation oncologist Adam Nowlan, M.D. “When all of this was going on, it was a lot to digest,” says Humphreys.
To learn more about her father’s treatment options and timetable, she met with Arrington Leitch, the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital patient navigator. “I consulted with her, just to see what the next steps were scheduling-wise,” she explains. After her father was discharged from the hospital, her parents decided he would go to Piedmont Fayette Hospital for treatment, since it was closer to their home.
As Humphreys met with Leitch at the Atlanta campus, her parents met with Elaine Harbin, the patient navigator at Piedmont Fayette Hospital. “She would go and shadow my parents while they were down there to make sure they made it to their appointments and [to serve as] a support network for them,” she says. “My parents loved her. She was very comforting to them and it was nice to know that they had someone [at | 1,024 | 1 |

With things going back to normal, fans have been hoping they would get to see BTS perform once again. While no confirmation has been received so far, ARMY has been looking forward to seeing all the members together.

uring to witness the return of Ashley Cole.
City’s team of superstars included the excellent Toure, Aguero and Silva.
Game on.
We were forced to attack the Matthew Harding in the first-half.
We began well and Gary Cahill squandered a great chance within the first few minutes, but Manchester City soon rose to the challenge. After a while, the youngsters Kris and Jake sidled in next to me.
“Good time in the pub, boys?”
Throughout the match, I was constantly annoyed to see that Toure was afforded yards of space. His was a brooding presence, pacing around the midfield, waiting to pounce like only he can do.
Then, Torres had a couple of chances to strike. Although he looked offside on the second one, he shot wildly over with only Joe Hart to beat. Instead of yells of abuse, the crowd were seemingly sympathetic.
In the far corner, the City fans were quiet, rousing only occasionally.
“We’re Not Really Here.”
I have to be honest, despite a 4pm kick-off (code for “more beers”) and a top-of-the-table clash, the atmosphere was pretty quiet. Then, the game changed. Torres picked up the ball around thirty-five yards out and decided to run at Clichy. On some occasions, Nando appears to be running in quick sand. On others, he glides past players. With his turn of pace catching Clichy on the back foot, he easily outpaced the former Arsenal left-back. He drilled a low ball across the six yard box and the trailing Demechelis was unable to stop the ball reaching the onrushing Andre Schurrle.
1-0 Chelsea and The Bridge awoke in a crescendo of noise. Schurrle pumped his fists towards the MHL and then pointed towards Torres. It had been a superb run. Torres’ earlier miss was soon forgotten.
Next, Torres on fire, down below me, teasing a City defender before striking a rasping shot which curled enticingly on its trajectory toward goal. The ball thundered against the bar. It was a fantastic shot. How unlucky. City issued a warning signal in the dying moments of the half as Aguero shot at Cech from an angle but our ‘keeper fought away the strike with the minimum of effort.
It had been an interesting game of football in the first-half. I sensed that it had been bubbling along nicely and that, as so often is the case, the game would provide more adventure in the second period.
Sadly, Manchester City soon struck in the second-half. Samir Nasri sent through a slide-rule pass to Aguero, with our defence unable to match his movement. With hardly any back lift, the striker unleashed a bullet which beat Cech at his near post.
1-1. Game on, again.
Although I think we edged the first-half, Manchester City now seemed to step up a gear and were on the front foot. Our defence, previously well-marshalled by the excellent Terry in the first-half, appeared vulnerable. In midfield, there was little bite. However, with the indefatigable Ivanovic charging up and down the right flank with all of his old spirit, we managed a foot hold in the game. A header from Torres was aimed straight at Hart and a Terry effort was touched over. Cech saved superbly from Silva. This was brewing up to be quite a game. The mood inside the stadium was of nervous concern though; here was evidence enough that the home supporters viewed City as an accomplished team. The atmosphere again struggled to get going.
Mourinho rang the changes. A clearly tiring Lampard was replaced by the steadying calm of Mikel and Schurrle was replaced by Willian. A few chances were exchanged and then Samuel Eto’o was chosen to replace Hazard. I was still nervously expecting a City goal at any moment. A free-kick from Willian flew past the far post at The Shed End.
The minutes ticked by.
Then, with not long to go before the final whistle, a Willian header was lofted high into the City half. Nastasic was being chased by Torres and headed the ball goalwards, but his touch was heavy and cleared the on-rushing Hart.
The stadium gulped.
We watched, breathlessly, as Tor | uring to witness the return of Ashley Cole.

Mayhem. Absolute mayhem.
2-1 Chelsea.
The place was pumping now alright.
Torres raced over to the corner and was soon mobbed by team mates. I was so pleased for him. Please God let him enjoy these moments of salvation. Under the astute man management skills of Mourinho, there is a bright future ahead. I’ve certainly noticed a greater show of strength from Torres this season; he looks more robust, his chest seems more muscular, his body more tuned for the rigours ahead. If his head stays positive, goals will follow.
In the ensuing thirty seconds, I still expected City to score.
We all did, right?
The ball was pumped into the Chelsea box one last time.
It was cleared.
All eyes were on the much maligned Howard Webb. I punched the air as he signalled the end of the game.
Manchester City – one of the title favourites – had now lost three out of nine league games.
Chelsea – on a roll – were up to second place.
The future looks fine.
And back ache? What back ache?

Unlucky indeed, you could easily put together “Nando’s top 5 woodwork rattling shots in Chelsea Blue”. His bicycle kick against Sunderland home, United home, Liverpool away, Sunderland away, Schalke last week and THIS.
All would have been superb goals.
Hope he’s done with his “crossbar challenge”, he does look strong with that extra spring in his boot. Centrino flagship for new Acer range
Brian Corrigan (ARN) 02 April, 2003 12:17
Acer will launch a Centrino model this month as the flagship in its new range of notebooks and handheld devices.
The vendor claims its TravelMate C110 convertible Tablet PC will be the smallest and lightest on the market — weighing in at 1.4kg and featuring a 10.4-inch TFT LCD screen capable of rotating through 1800.
Containing Intel’s Pentium M900 MHz processor, 855GM chipset and integrated PRO/Wireless 2100 network connection, it has 256MB DDR-SDRAM and 40 GB ATA/100 hard disk drive with Disc Anti-Shock Protection (DASP). Prices will start from $4499.
Acer’s product manager for notebook PCs, Antonio Leone, said the C110 would have broad market appeal.
“It is smaller, thinner and has outstanding graphic performance that will make it desirable in the retail market for tech savvy users as well as with design professionals and corporate customers,” he said.
Also new in the TravelMate range are the entry level 230 and 280 models. Acer will pitch them at the SME and retail markets, together with the 530, 650 and 800 models for business users.
The TravelMate 230 will contain a 2GHz Intel Celeron processor and be available with a price tag of less than $2000. The $2499 TravelMate 280 will have a Pentium 4 processor.
Both machines are cornerstones in Acer’s aggressive attack on the retail market that it announced in ARN last week when signing a deal to put its machines on the shelves at Harvey Norman stores.
The final market debutant announced is Acer’s n1 | 1,024 | 1 |
bill if our concerns are met,” “But the concerns are kind of intractable.”
Really? This group who pledges to care so much about universal health care would give up on it that easy...because the federal government is going to provide plans that both offer abortion coverage and those that do not? That is ridiculous and extremely shortsighted.
For those of us who care about women's reproductive health care, which includes the right to access abortion, health care reform is so much bigger than debating one medical procedure. First of all, preventing access to abortion doesn't prevent abortion, it only puts women in danger by delaying abortion or by having them seek illegal care. And secondly, abortion should be and is a decision made by a woman not a politician.
The opponents of abortion refuse to discuss the underlying reasons why women seek abortion and the fact that proactive preventative reproductive health care could have a positive impact on the health care system as a whole. They would rather put their feet in the sand and demand abortion care be removed. The truth is, that if the religious right has their way, the health care reform package that passes will actually cause women who already have access to abortion care to lose it.
It's all about winning the "abortion debate" not about women's reproductive health care. Abortion Rights/Reproductive rights advocates have nothing to "win" in the health care debate. Even with the package that is favored by reproductive rights advocates, low income women will still not have access to abortion care unless their state provides medicaid funds.
Pro-Choice advocates see this as an injustice and believe that all women deserve access to all of their reproductive healthcare options, but none the less, we are supportive of healthcare reform because we understand that providing people with something is better than nothing.
I am sick and tired of anti-choicers who paint their position as "right" and moral, when in reality it's a sneaky attempt to push an anti-choice agenda on the American people. Stop focusing on winning and start thinking about people's health.

Since many people who work in the creative industries, including the top actors, do so as independent contractors | , Title VII offers them no protection at all. Moreover, even for employees, Title VII’s cap on damages diminishes, to a virtual null, the law’s deterrence of powerful figures in the creative industries — some of whom earned $300,000 in less than a week. Not surprisingly, many of the accused harassers in Hollywood had no shortage of funds to pay “hush money” to their accusers, yet continued to sexually harass people for years. This Article proposes a new way to address sexual harassment in the creative industries: enact federal legislation that prohibits sexual harassment in the development of works of authorship that receive federal copyrights. The proposed legislation is modeled on Title IX’s prohibition of sex discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding — which carries, potentially, the ultimate penalty of loss of federal funding for educational institutions in violation. Similarly, the proposed legislation authorizes a court to order the forfeiture of copyright for any work that has the requisite nexus to the sexual harassment or retaliation, if the violation was willful or wanton. A court-appointed trustee will oversee the copyright in the best interests of the public and the innocent individuals who participated in the development of the underlying work.

565 W. Adams St. Review - Factory Girl
Edie Sedgwick arrive in New York in the mid-1960’s with a head full of dreams and her rich family’s money behind her. For a few years this spiky young gamine was America’s “it” girl, captivating high society with her stunning looks and distinctive style. She soon became Andy Warhol’s muse and confidant, hanging out with his factory crowd and appearing in a number of his films as their fame grew in tandem; and she then romanced Bob Dylan, who wrote songs in her honour. Edie’s star burned brightly, but briefly; she had everything, and then nothing. In 1971 Edie Sedgwick died from a drug overdose at the age of 28.
This is undeniably a very sad tale, but is it a movie? We’ve surely seen stories like this told a million times before in various incarnations, and Factory Girl is just more of the same; another riches-to-rags story in we watch this beautiful woman slip further into degradation until she finally brings an end to her painful life. The only point of interest this movie may have is that it purports to tell the story of a famous socialite and, by extension, that it might reveal something about two of the era’s most iconic figures, Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan. But Factory Girl is a garbled mess which is too silly and unsure of itself to reveal anything of significance.
Factory Girl’s director George Hickenlooper has a background in documentaries - in fact, he was a co-director on the wonderful Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse - but he shows no documentary-style rigour in his handling of this story, preferring instead to present Edie Sedgwick in the most hackneyed way possible. He opts for a standard biopic structure, with Edie (Sienna Miller) recounting her experiences to a Cottage Hospital counsellor, reminiscences which provide Factory Girl with its narration. After a brief flashback to a Cambridge art college Edie goes to stay with her friend Chuck Wein (a miscast and clueless Jimmy Fallon) in New York, and her fate is sealed when she catches the eye of Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce) at a typically swinging party. How does Hickenlooper depict this fateful meeting? By having Warhol spot Sedgwick dancing in slow motion across the room. When she pulls out | 1,024 | 1 |

Divorcing spouses who own and operate a business often find that property settlement is the most challenging dispute to overcome. Even if the business was already owned by one spouse prior to marriage, marital assets are very often used to support its growth and successful operation over the years. In many cases, one spouse remained out of the workforce to support the family or help operate the business on a part-time basis. The situation is made even more complicated when business partners and shareholder investors have a stake in the outcome.
Business valuation and equitable distribution of assets are among the most complex areas of California community in divorce. If you own a business or professional practice in Sacramento County, in Placer County or anywhere in Central or Northern California, you need a lawyer who understands the process and strategies to protect your financial interests.

Bachata is a Rumba-like Dominican Dance often referred as the dance of the guitar, or the "Latin Blues". Songs are about melancholy, about lost loves, jealousy, and dramatic encounters. The dance is slow, sensual, and easy to learn. The steps follow a three step and tap pattern done to the left and right side. Bachata falls under the Salsa Umbrella in Clubs. Several venues play at least 30% Bachata while others dedicate a full night of Bachata music. Women love Bachata for its simplicity, sensuality and dance elegance. These classes combines all 3 main styles: Dominican, Sensual, and Modern style.

An In These Times article addresses a whole different controversy in the school lunch program, and it is costing taxpayers millions. Sodexo, the second-ranking food-service worldwide, with revenues of around 20 billion last year, is accused of taking rebates, or kick-backs, from their suppliers. Take a New England dairy | farm, where they charge the milk producer a few extra cents per half-pint of milk and in return, expect a rebate back. This method of give and take has been common in the food industry since the 1950s says an industry consultant, when kickbacks meant cash in an envelope slipped to the chef. This means taxpayers are paying for Sodexo to charge more for their milk, and it adds up, as this company provides food-service to cafeterias, and other facilities for schools, hospitals, universities, government agencies, the military and private companies across the country.
“The rebate system, endemic to the industry, works like this: A food management company like Sodexo signs contracts to run a client’s cafeteria. The company buys supplies from vendors such as Coke, Kellogg’s or Tyson. Then, chosen vendors send the management company rebates based on a percentage of sales.

Interesting article, I knew lunches in schools were not up to par... but now knowing it's because of $$ is very disappointing. Can Parents Use International Banks to Make Payments to their Smart Accounts?
Does Smart accept payments from International banks because I have international families living outside of the United States but their children are enrolled at the school and they would like to use their banks to make payments to their Smart accounts?
Currently, Smart only accepts payments from US based banks only.
Parents do have the option to wire transfer payments instead.
For more information on how a parent can make wire transfer payments, please see Do you offer wire transfer as a payment method? Some time between Saturday, October 13th and Wednesday, October 17th, there was a break-in at the range. Someone decided that there was something of interest in the target shed in the pits and then took a crowbar to the left hand door and pried it off its hinges.
The screws that held the hinges to the frame were ripped out and the aluminum facing was torn and bent. One initial thought was that wind had grabbed the door some way or another, but when we looked at the edge of the door, it was clear that someone had used a crowbar or similar tool to rip the hinges off the frame.
The place that the crowbar was anchored shows very plainly in the picture.
Temporary repairs have been made and new screws and additional hinges will be added. It only took two engineers to try to fix it and a schoolteacher to oversee the work.
Members are asked to keep an eye out for things like this. Check the locks on buildings and storage sheds to make sure that someone isn’t shopping the range. We can only assume that someone thought that there was something worth stealing in the shed – since there was nothing missing, I assume they were disappointed!
After that was finished we went up to the new white building and looked at the heater to figure out why we had no heat. A spider had set up housekeeping in the combustion tubes for the heater – once he was evicted, everything works well again.
Thanks to Mike and Glenna and Beard for taking time to fix up things like this. Edgify Me guest blogged on Saks POV, covering their J Brand event.

re being railroaded by an administration eager to prove strong oversight and repair its reputation. The issue is working its way through courts.
The brutal year for Washington schools doesn’t seem to have hurt Mayor Bowser as she runs for re-election. Bowser, campaigning on the improved economy in the capital, has no significant opposition in the all-important Democratic primary Tuesday as she seeks a second term.
The issue of the school system was the only down note in Bowser’s otherwise triumphant State of the District speech in March. Bowser could only acknowledge “significant bumps in the road,” and promise rapid changes.
Defenders of the school system point out that independent measurements such as the National Association of Educational Progress test have shown consistent improvement that shouldn’t be lost in the controversy over graduation rates.
Critics view the problems, particularly the attendance issue, as an indictment of the entire data-driven evaluation system instituted a more than a decade ago when then-Mayor Adrian Fenty took over the school system and appointed Michelle Rhee as the first chancellor. Rhee’s ambitious plan to clear out dead wood and focus on accountability for teachers and administrators landed her on the cover of Time magazine holding a broom. But now analysts question whether Rhee’s emphasis on performance metrics has created a monster. In the words of Mark Twain, there’s a technical lesson in every technical book, lesson one being that “no matter how good you are, the world will eventually come to you.”
In this case, that lesson is that the world does not come to people.
In fact, it will come to some people, but not to others.
“It is important to note that technical difficulties, when they arise, are generally not the result of bad engineering, but of bad people,” the American physicist Richard Feynman wrote.
“The problem is the lack of understanding of the nature of human thinking.”
And that’s what’s so baffling about the UK’s new government.
It seems to think that when it comes to how people are going to work together, they should be a bit more technical than that.
In a report on the technical challenges facing the UK, it says that the government is “committed to the growth of the internet, including the development of a fully integrated, interoperable, and fully open, digital infrastructure”.
The government is also planning to roll out an “Internet of Things” (IoT) to give all of us a bit of extra connectivity, but it seems to have forgotten that it’s also going to need to figure out how to make sure the IoT can also work with the internet.
The report says that a range of problems will need to be solved to ensure that the IoT will be “commercially viable”.
“This will include addressing interoperability and the sharing of data, while ensuring that the devices are able to operate seamlessly together and that devices and services can communicate with each other and the internet,” the report says.
“These challenges require the development and deployment of a range for the IoT, including interoperability, data and communications, security and privacy, and the management of this ecosystem.”
The problems are the same as in the US, and they stem from the way that the internet has been developed.
There are three main issues.
Firstly, the internet is currently a network of thousands of different computers all communicating over a global network.
This means that if you can’t make the right connections, you can be left in the dark.
Secondly, there are very few of these computers, so the internet’s connectivity can be quite bad.
The third problem is that as computers get bigger, they start to become more and more difficult to connect to.
And finally, because the internet was built to be a network, there is a fundamental limitation that means that even the smallest devices will be able to interfere with each others’ connectivity.
“We know that it is not possible to build a single system that would be capable of providing a complete set of connectivity to the entire internet, which would mean that the network is fundamentally insecure,” the government’s report says, adding that the UK will have to work hard to improve connectivity to “the point where the network becomes commercially viable”.
“As we continue to build this network, we will need a system to handle the traffic of individual devices and their applications, which will require us to develop new tools and techniques to ensure robust connectivity to these devices,” the document says.
The problems do not stop there, either.

The problems do not stop there, either.
The government has plans | to develop a “internet of things” and this will require a whole new set of tools and technologies.
It also says that it will need the ability to monitor “the behaviour of individual networks and devices, and to determine whether there is any connectivity issue that can be resolved by the network”.
But the report also says the government needs to “take account of the implications for the security and resilience of the network, as well as the need to consider the costs and benefits of these initiatives”.
Why the government has failed so badly The report is by no means a comprehensive look at how to tackle the internet of things and IoT.
The UK’s government has made the decision to invest £2bn in the internet-connected car, and it’s doing so in an attempt to boost its reputation.
This is not to say that it can’t be an interesting time for internet technology.
However, as the government makes the same mistakes with the IoT that the US has made with the web, it’s likely that we’re going to see more people lose control over their own lives.
The real problem is not that the technology isn’t working, but that the people involved don’t understand the risks involved.
“This government is going to have to be very careful in the future, because if it doesn’t understand that the risks of its decision are really real, then it is really going to end up with a very, very bad decision,” the former head of the UK government’s Digital Transformation Strategy, David Anderson, said in September.
“In a few years, the UK could end up being the country where the internet fails, because we have not built enough of a infrastructure.”

The Salem Witch Trials 1692
September 26, 2020 – April 4, 2021
Peabody Essex Museum / Salem
In September of 1692, the Reverend Samuel Parris declared, “If ever there were Witches, Men & Women in Covenant with the Devil, here are Multitudes in New-England.” That same year saw America’s first convulsion of mass hysteria: in Salem, a colonial community came to believe that the “lambs” among them were being led astray by “lying Wonders” and “Sorceries & witchcrafts.” The Salem Witch Trials resulted in the murder of 25 people and has since become a tragic example of America’s penchant for paranoia, and the miscarriages of justice left in its wake. Despite countless studies of the upheaval and its trials, questions remain and dubious theories abound. This exhibition details what truly led to the widespread panic in Salem, and explores the conditions that turn everyday skepticism into perilous suspicions. Included are rarely seen documents from the Phillips Library collection. —C.J.F.

then embarked on his Asia-bound campaign, had traveled more than 20,870 miles (or 33,400 km) by the time Alexander breathed his last in Babylon (in 323 BC). So, on an average, each of these men had covered an impressive 1,605 miles (or 2,570 km) per year! And, when translated in georgraphical terms, many of the Macedonian veterans could have claimed to cross a multitude of rivers including the Nile (in Egypt), Euphrates and Tigris (in Iraq), Oxus (in Tajikistan), Syr-Darya (in Uzbekistan) and the Indus (in Pakistan).
It should also be noted that Macedonian kings most probably didn’t develop any means to actually pay their military forces. So, part of this monetary predicament was solved by allowing the soldiers to take part in plunders that usually involved despoiling the enemy cities. But even in such cases, the infantrymen were always given a far lesser portion of the ‘loot’ than their cavalry counterparts.
5) Alexander’s army built a makeshift pathway over seawater just to effectively siege the island-city of Tyre in 332 BC!
In the grand scheme of things, the siege of Tyre might have been a lesser incident in Alexander’s brilliant (yet short) career as a conqueror. But the encounter in itself proved how Alexander was an incredibly patient strategist – which was in sharp contrast to his vicious recklessness in the battlefield (as was evident from the Macedonian cavalry wedge formations where Alexander placed himself at the forefront of the ‘spear’). In any case, Tyre was an important and nigh impenetrable commercial hub, by virtue of its ‘island’ location and huge wall defenses – that were 50 ft high in some places, according to historian Arrian! So, Alexander tried to counter the city’s fascinating defensive ambit by actually ordering his army to construct causeways (or moles) over the sea that would directly lead to the island settlement.
The invading Greek forces did manage to construct (and even expand) a causeway from the rubble, rocks and even timber being salvaged from the old abandoned city of Tyre which was originally located along the coast. This causeway became the scene of a fierce encounter with Greek siege towers taking the brunt of the bold counterattack by the Tyre-based forces. However, within a few days, Alexander was able to assemble an expansive fleet of ships that ultimately caught Tyre by surprise – thus leading to the ramming and breaching of a small section of the city walls. This tactical breakthrough made Tyre unceremoniously surrender, especially after being viciously assaulted by the hardened Macedonian elite infantry (also known as hypaspists). And in the ensuing aftermath, it is said that over 6,000 inhabitants were butchered by Alexander’s forces (with 2,000 being crucified), while an additional 30,000 people were sold into slavery.
6) Brutal punishments in Alexander’s army did include being trampled by elephants –
Greater discipline was not the only factor that separated the Macedonian army from the other then-contemporary Greeks forces; Alexander’s phalangites also had to endure stricter disciplinary actions on account of their privileged status in the army. In that regard, cavalry officers were often punished more severely than their infantry counterparts – with actions (like flogging) being taken for minor offences ranging from bathing in warm water to inviting flute-girls into the camp.
However serious offences like mutinies often resulted in death sentences, given by none other than Alexander himself. In some cases, the offenders were put to death by throwing stones and javelins at them. In other cases, more grim measures were undertaken – like throwing the prisoners into a river with tightened chains binding their bodies. However, one particular incident of punishment stands out (as mentioned by Quintus Curtius Rufus), when Alexander’s successors (just after his death) ordered some 300 mutineers to be trampled beneath the feet of elephants – and that too in front of the whole army.
8) Alexander himself might have had a delusional disorder –
While there are no arguments against Alexander being one of the greatest military | then embarked on his Asia-bound campaign, had traveled more than 20,870 miles (or 33,400 km) by the time Alexander breathed his last in Babylon (in 323 BC).

8) Alexander himself might have had a delusional disorder –
While there are no arguments against Alexander being one of the greatest military | strategists and leaders in history, the man himself seemingly suffered from delusions of grandeur during different phases of his lifetime. One of the primary reasons for this god complex-oriented behavioral pattern might have been due the psychological effect of his mother Olympia during Alexander’s childhood. She quite openly claimed that Alexander was the son of Zeus, after supposedly dreaming that her womb was struck by thunder. This extraordinary theory was apparently even ‘proven’ to Alexander by one of the oracles of Amun at Siwa, Egypt. As a result, Alexander began to seriously identify himself as the son of the deity Zeus-Ammon – as is evident from a few ancient silver coins that depict Alexander armed with a thunderbolt.
Alexander the Great also saw himself to be to rightful successor to the fabled Achaemenid emperors after his Macedonian army conquered the length and breath of ancient Persian realm. Such impressive yet influencing achievements in turn fueled Alexander to re-establish many of the Persian customs, like dressing up in the Persian royal attire and the upholding of the proskynesis. This latter mentioned practice entailed the traditional Persian act of bowing or prostrating oneself before a person of higher rank. Suffice it to say, the ‘democratic’ Greeks were averse to such a notion, and as such were alienated by many of Alexander’s megalomaniac decisions.
9) Alexander was a skilled musician and debater; but was also addicted to alcohol –
According to Plutarch, by the age of ten, Alexander was already quite an expert in playing the lyre, debating and even reciting – all of which were sometimes performed in front of his father’s guests. In fact, both poetry and music continued to inspire Alexander even during his later life – as did the consumption of prodigious volumes of alcohol. To that end, drinking and partying came quite naturally to the young Macedonian general, especially during his extended campaigns and hunting trips.
One particular incident related to Alexander’s penchant for ‘partying’ once again comes from the account of Plutarch, where the noted author goes on to describe the so-called Bacchanalian behavior of the Macedonian army. He mentions how Alexander and his army was returning through Balochistan after their disastrous Indian campaign – and the soldiers in this procession took part in every form of excess and decadence. Alexander himself was seated on a high dais surrounded by his companions – all draped in flowers and enjoying goblets of wine; while this massive platform was slowly drawn by eight horses. As Plutarch continued –
Not a shield was to be seen, not a helmet, not a spear, but along the whole march with cups and drinking-horns and flagons the soldiers kept dipping wine from huge casks and mixing-bowls and pledging one another, some as they marched along, others lying down; while pipes and flutes, stringed instruments and song, with reveling cries of women, filled every place with abundant music. Then, upon this disordered and straggling procession there followed also the sports of bacchanalian license, as though Bacchus himself were present and conducting the revel. Moreover, when he came to the royal palace of Gedrosia, he once more gave his army time for rest and held high festival. We are told, too, that he was once viewing some contests in singing and dancing, being well heated with wine, and that his favorite, Bagoas, won the prize for song and dance, and then, all in his festal array, passed through the theater and took his seat by Alexander’s side; at sight of which the Macedonians clapped their hands and loudly bade the king kiss the victor, until at last he threw his arms about him and kissed him tenderly.
10) There is a town in Pakistan that was originally named after Alexander’s horse!
Given his delusions of grandeur and tendency to deify himself, Alexander is estimated to have christened around 70 settlements (from Africa to Asia) after his own name. The thriving city of present-day Alexandria in Egypt stands as a testament to this personality-promoting pattern. However, Alexander’s obsession with his enviable achievements went beyond his own name, to also include his favorite horse – Bucephalus. Thereupon, Alexander named one of the settlements in (present) Pakistan as Alexandria Bucephalous or Buce | 1,024 | 1 |

I started this piece with a reference to PD James, and I can’t finish it without picking up on what she says about Austen in her excellent Talking about Detective Fiction. She focuses on Emma, rather than Mansfield Park, describing how Austen sets the action within the “closed society in a rural setting, which was to become common in detective fiction”, and then sows cleverly constructed clues about the real state of affairs between the key characters. It’s exactly what I’ve tried to do in my own book, and I only hope that my readers will have the same experience James describes at the end of Emma, “when all becomes plain and… we wonder how we could have been so deceived.”

Australians will rejoice as a people one and free from Friday after Prime Minister Scott Morrison changed the words of the national anthem | .
The second line of the national song is now "for we are one and free" instead of "young and free" in a modification Mr Morrison wants to recognise the way Australians have united during the pandemic over the past year, the long history of Indigenous people, and the waves of migration.

"This change is for all Australians. We are one country and have proven so from generation to generation," Mr Morrison writes in an opinion piece published in this masthead.
The idea for the wording change was raised by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian about a year ago, but the Prime Minister did not think the timing was right then. Ms Berejiklian reignited debate over the lyrics in November, shortly after the NRL decided to abandon the anthem for State of Origin and then reversed that position after a backlash from fans and Mr Morrison.
Ms Berejiklian said at the time that to continue singing Australians were "young and free" ignored the tens of thousands of years of First Nations culture and heritage. She was backed in November by a range of Indigenous and political leaders, including Labor's Anthony Albanese, Indigenous Australians Minister Ken Wyatt and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson.
In early December, 16-year-old student and Wiradjuri woman Olivia Fox sang a verse of the national anthem in the Dharug language ahead of the Wallabies playing Argentina, eliciting a wave of positive feedback. Mr Morrison has recounted on several occasions how children in the Sutherland Shire, including his own, learn the anthem in Dharawal language.
However, the Prime Minister does not want the change to the wording to be seen purely through the prism of Indigenous recognition, which is behind his recommendation to Governor-General David Hurley it take effect from January 1 rather than Australia Day.
"In recognition of the extraordinary united effort of Australians over the past year, the time is now right to make the change," Mr Morrison says.
"During a time when communities around the world are splintering and identity politics concentrates on our differences, this change affirms our shared national story and shared destiny."
Scottish-born composer Peter Dodds McCormick wrote Advance Australia Fair in 1878.
Mr Morrison said that at that time, the phrase "young and free" "undoubtedly captured the energetic spirit of liberty that drove Australia towards nationhood". It was adopted as the national anthem under Gough Whitlam in 1974 but dumped two years later when Malcolm Fraser reinstated God Save The Queen. Advance Australia Fair was again adopted as the anthem under Bob Hawke in 1984.
It is expected the first official rendition of the anthem with the new words will be sung at the opening of the Test match on January 7.

I tackle this jazz standard by Charlie Parker with my first Big Band arrangement! The lush horn section chords on sound very contemporary and I can see a direct line drawn from this to Steely Dan's blend of rock jazz. Indeed they did a track called "Parkers band" on their third album, Pretzel Logic.
It was written by Charlie Parker in 1946 hence the title derives from Parker's nickname "Bird", respectively "Yardbird". Far from being a suite, the song follows an AABA form. The "graceful, hip melody, became something of an anthem for beboppers."

It was a long, exhausting day of signing and selling—thanks

author begs), thanks to Steve Berman for inviting me, and many many thanks to
Perry Brass (who I saw twice but never met), Sarah Chinn, the Manhattan GLBT

Murder in the Irish Channel – Greg Herren (Bold Strokes Books)
Buy it now from Bold Strokes Books
Greg Herren’s mysteries, whether he’s writing Scotty Bradley
or Chanse MacLeod, are always entertaining, fast-paced, and exuberant.
Moreover, when you purchase one, you know exactly what you’re getting—a twisty
plot you can still follow, reliable characters, and a taste of New Orleans. Murder
in the Irish Channel is a perfect example.
Jonny O’Neill is a rising young MMA fighter with a new bride
and a baby on the way—not to mention a mother who’s gone missing. Mona O’Neill
was a widowed church activist fighting to keep her local parish open. So why
does she have a check for 50 grand from a local developer in her desk drawer?
And who killed her other son, Robby? These are only a few of the questions
Chanse, along with his stripper/secretary Abby, has to find the answers to
before he can find Mona.
The Scotty Bradley mysteries have a much larger cast to keep
track of, so the simplicity and narrowing of the number of characters here is a
good change of pace and allows for a deepening of Chanse as he solves the
mystery. We get a glimpse of his trailer trash roots, which also shows in his
veiled contempt for Jonny, who hasn’t strayed far from the same path despite
the money his mother got in the settlement from her late husband’s employer.
His wife, Heather, is also an interesting exercise in redneck living—a foul
mouthed brat as canny as she is cranky.
But this wouldn’t be a Greg Herren book without some local
flavor, and Herren gets it right, from the weather to the food to the locales.
I count myself lucky to be a frequent visitor to New Orleans and have some
knowledge of its geography, so I can account for its veracity. Katrina, as
usual, hovers like a spectre over the plot, providing opportunities for some
characters and sealing the fates of others well in advance of Mona’s
disappearance.
Herren hits the ground running plotwise, pausing only for
breath and recaps before plunging ahead into the next piece of the puzzle. His
writing is economical, retaining a fine sense of detail that lingers long
enough to register but never calls attention to itself. Wisely, he’s learned
that the best way to tell a story is to get everyone on stage and let them take
over. You never once see the author’s hand, even when it’s placed in the small
of your back, diverting your attention from the only possible solution.
Murder in the Irish Channel is a most worthwhile
entry into the Chanse MacLeod catalog. But, be warned, these mysteries are most
addictive.

characters and sealing the fates of others well in advance of Mona’s
disappearance.
Herren hits the ground running plotwise, pausing only for
breath and recaps before plunging ahead into the next piece of the puzzle. His
writing is economical, retaining a fine sense of detail that lingers long
enough to register but never calls attention to itself. Wisely, he’s learned
that the best way to tell a story is to get everyone on stage and let them take
over. You never once see the author’s hand, even when it’s placed in the small
of your back, diverting your attention from the only possible solution.
Murder in the Irish Channel is a most worthwhile
entry into the Chanse MacLeod catalog. But, be warned, these mysteries are most
addictive.
Hellebore and Rue: Tales of Queer Women and Magic – Joselle Vanderhooft and Catherine Lundoff, eds. – Lethe Press
Buy it now at Lethe Press.
I cut my reading teeth on horror, fantasy, sci | -fi, and
speculative work—but as I moved into my early twenties, I turned my back on
those genres, thinking there were more important books in the world. And
indeed, there were. But as I get older, I realize there’s room on the shelf for
everything. Or at least on the Kindle. So every time I review a book of fantasy
or magic, a little bit of my childhood comes back to me. So, thank you Joselle
Vanderhooft and Cathering Lundoff, for filling me with Hellebore and Rue.
When I was a kid, however, tales of strong women weren’t
readily accessible. No matter. I can now thrill to a wonderful story of rescue
and redemption like “Counterbalance,” the leadoff story by Ruth Sorrell. Or
savor the foreboding and danger of the arrival of an ancient magician in C.B.
Casling’s deliciously dark Cajun tale “Trouble Arrived.” At that age, I
wouldn’t have appreciated the masterful weaving of demon-hunting and
relationship problems between an exorcist and her girlfriend in Jean Marie
Ward’s “Personal Demons.” But I can now.
But those aren’t the only treats in store here. One of my
favorites is the nicely veiled eco-theme of Connie Wilkins’ “The Windskimmer,”
which sees a practitioner of plant-based magic teaming up with an old airborne
friend to right a wrong done not only to them, but to the land. This story,
brilliant in its simplicity as well as its metaphor, is a lovely yet cautionary
tale. And what fan of swords and sorcery could resist the tale of a young woman
heroically challenging a wyvern on its own turf in Kelly A. Harmon’s “Sky Lit
Bargains”?
Steve Berman, author of the teen ghost story Vintage
and so many more interesting stories also turns in a bravura performance with
his Ray Bradbury-esque “D is for Delicious,” a delightful tale of a retiring
school nurse who must face the fact that she is actually a child-eating witch.
Not only is the concept wonderful, but Berman’s Mrs. Grackle is a marvelous
character both repulsed and intrigued by the idea of needing her beloved
kindergarteners for support as well as sustenance. Lisa Nohealani Morton’s
surrealistically beautiful story of a clandestine affair between a witch and an
angel, “And Out of the Strong Came Forth Sweetness” is another winner, keeping
you guessing until the last minute whether or not these natural enemies would
be forced to destroy each other or encouraged to love each other.
But perhaps my favorite is the tale which ends the book,
Rachel Green’s stunning “A State of Panic,” an irresistible blend of fantasy
and detective story that has newly-arrived Sergeant Anna Wilde using her dark
gifts to not only best her chauvinistic co-workers but to solve the mystery
behind a series of suicides. Wilde is both new school and old world, and Green
works the combo for all she’s worth, coming up aces with a character she could
easily build a longer work around.
So if you’re looking for a read to take you out of yourself
and away from a world where you have to make your own tea, give Hellebore and
Rue a whirl. The problem is you might never want to come back.

Purgatory: A Novel of the Civil War — Jeff Mann (Bear Bones Books)
For many Southerners, especially those of us descended from generation upon generation of British, Irish, Scots and French forebears, the Civil War (A.K.A. The War between the States, The War of Northern Aggression, The Late Unpleasantness) is never far from our thoughts. Like a movie within a movie, a looped tape, or parallel reality, the war—its causes and outsize characters, its victories and defeats, the awful aftermath of Reconstruction and segregation—are endlessly replayed, debated, mourned, celebrated and reenacted.

showing how Lovasz local lemma can be used to derive a Monte Carlo algorithm for the k-SAT problem.
My problem is with the end of the proof of Lemma 6.15 and it may not be related with the core of the proof.
The authors show that the probability that the graph $H'$ has a connected component of size $r$ is upper bounded by
$$md^{8r/d^3}((d+1)2^{-k/2})^{r/d^3} \;\; (1)$$
and they upper-bound this quantity with
$$m 2^{(rk/d^3)(8 \alpha + 2 \alpha - 1/2)}, \;\; (2)$$
concluding that if $r\ge c \log_2 m$ for large enough $c$ and small enough $\alpha >0$, this quantity is $o(1)$ as $m$ increases.
My problem is how to prove that $(1)\le (2)$. The only inequality for $d$ is $d\le k 2^{\alpha k}$. Considering $d+1 \le d^2$ and the bound for $d$, I obtain
$$md^{8r/d^3}((d+1)2^{-k/2})^{r/d^3} \le m 2^{(rk/d^3)(10 \alpha + 10\frac{\log_2 k}{k} - 1/2)},$$
but now the exponent is no more negative independently from how small $\alpha >0 $ is.
Any help is welcome.
Q: Vuetify 2.6.12 - Problem with v-data-table inside v-dialog In my application, when inserting a v-data-table inside a v-dialog, it is losing part of its CSS style.
Looking at the HTML, the class "v-application" and "v-application--is-ltr" are not being applied to v-dialog.
I need the same classes that are applied to all components inside ("v-application" and "v-application--is-ltr"), inside . Without these classes the is without application of some CSS. I imagine that even inside a v-dialog I could use a v-data-table and it would work
I've done several tests, like adding a v-row before the v-dialog, adding a v-container, putting v-col, removing v-col.
A lot of tests and I couldn't find a solution.
Has anyone gone through this problem?
Thank you very much in advance

Q: Can we make correlated queries with SQLAlchemy I'm trying to translate this SQL query into a Flask-SQLAlchemy call:
SELECT *
FROM "ENVOI"
WHERE "ID_ENVOI" IN (SELECT d."ID_ENVOI"
FROM "DECLANCHEMENT" d
WHERE d."STATUS" = 0
AND d."DATE" = (SELECT max("DECLANCHEMENT"."DATE")
FROM "DECLANCHEMENT"
WHERE "DECLANCHEMENT"."ID_ENVOI" = d."ID_ENVOI"))
As you can see, it uses subqueries and, most important part, one of the subqueries is a correlated query (it use d table defined in an outer query).
I know how to use subqueries with subquery() function, but I can't find documentation about correlated queries with SQLAlchemy. Do you know a way to do it ?
A: Yes, we can.
Have a look at the following example (especially the correlate method call):
from sqlalchemy import select, func, table, Column, Integer
table1 = table('table1', Column('col', Integer))
table2 = table('table2', Column('col', Integer))
subquery = select(
[func.if_(table1.c.col == 1, table2.c.col, None)]
).correlate(table1)
query = (
select([table1.c.col,
subquery.label('subquery')])
.select_from(table1)
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print(query)
will result in the following query
SELECT table1.col, (SELECT if(table1.col = :col_1, table2.col, NULL) AS if_1
FROM table2) AS subquery
FROM table1
As you can see, if you call correlate on a select, the given Table will not be added to it's FROM-clause.
You have to do this even when you specify select_from directly, as SQLAlchemy will happily add any table it finds in the columns.
A: Based on the link from univerio's comment, I've done this code for my request:
Declch = db.aliased(Declanchement)
maxdate_sub = db.select([db.func.max(Declanchement.date)])\
.where(Declanchement.id_envoi == Declch.id_envoi)
decs_sub = db.session.query(Declch.id_envoi)\
.filter(Declch.status == SMS_EN_ATTENTE)\
.filter(Declch.date < since)\
.filter(Declch.date == maxdate_sub).subquery()
envs = Envoi.query.filter(Envoi.id_envoi.in_(decs_sub)).all()

The first edict said that Zakat was not compulsory on a creditor for debt which has not been repaid for any reason, but a creditor should pay Zakat on investment debt. If the investment debt has not been repaid for several years, its Zakat can be delayed until it is collected. In this case, the creditor should pay Zakat for the past years. The Zakat should be paid every lunar year. The Zakat is calculated on the investment for the past lunar year without the profits for the coming years.
The edict on the waiting period for a person who has gone missing states that the Qadhi should take a decision to declare the person dead. But the waiting period should not be less than one year and should not exceed four years from the day the person went missing. The circumstances of each case should be taken into consideration. After the elapse of the period decided by the Qadhi, the person’s wealth should be divided and his wife has to observe Iddah.
As to the marriage of underage girls, the Fiqh Academy decided after reviewing many researches and hearing many discussions that the matter needs further research. It also needs more study of statistics as well as social, psychological, medical and legal findings on the subject.
As regards the maximum duration of pregnancy, the academy said that Shariah does not contradict scientific proof, and so the Fiqh Academy has decided that the longest pregnancy duration is one year after the separation of the couple.
The academy said that guardianship will be transferred to the next person if a guardian does not care for his dependent who is sick. The guardian of the sick person should permit conducting a medical procedure if it is in the interest of the sick person. P18-Termination value of other depreciating assets?
At item P18 you include the termination values for depreciating assets-including assets allocated to a low-value pool-that you stopped holding or using during the year (for example, assets sold, lost or destroyed).
Generally, the termination value is the amount you receive or are deemed to receive in relation to the asset that you stopped holding or using. It includes the market value of any non-cash benefits such as goods and services you receive for the asset.
For more information on termination value, refer to the publication Guide to depreciating assets.

As regards the maximum duration of pregnancy, the academy said that Shariah does not contradict scientific proof, and so the Fiqh Academy has decided that the longest pregnancy duration is one year after the separation of the couple.
The academy said that guardianship will be transferred to the next person if a guardian does not care for his dependent who is sick. The guardian of the sick person should permit conducting a medical procedure if it is in the interest of the sick person. P18-Termination value of other depreciating assets?
At item P18 you include the termination values for depreciating assets-including assets allocated to a low-value pool-that you stopped holding or using during the year (for example, assets sold, lost or destroyed).
Generally, the termination value is the amount you receive or are deemed to receive in relation to the asset that you stopped holding or using. It includes the market value of any non-cash benefits such as goods and services you receive for the asset.
For more information on termination value, refer to the publication Guide to depreciating assets.

We’ll get a chance to discuss what a right to use might look like in the breakout session I’m leading at the Quantified Self global conference in San Francisco this Thursday. Join the discussion!
Many barriers limit our abilities to derive meaning from our data. We will discuss how a positive “right to use” our personal data could reconcile personal interests with firms’ interests in data. When it comes to purple butterfly bedding, comfort is what matters most. Here at Beddinginn, we offer purple butterfly bedding that feature comfort and style.

On January the 23rd, in the Weekly part of the Boves | pa analysis section, we made the case that Bovespa Index was close to topping out and entering a large-scale correction. At the time, we thought a sharper drop was more likely than the sideways formation it turned out to become. At least this was a decent enough call on a weekly basis, though the timing certainly not-so-precis from a Daily chart standpoint.
On the analysis update issued on the 24th of February, before regular trading started, we warned that Bovespa Index was overbought. However, the signal was not the strongest, and we didn’t make a definite call that the top was in, it must be said.
On the 20th of March, we issued a warning that Bovespa Index was a few percent from a strong oversold signal. This turned out to be a decent enough call, the index stopped the decline slightly lower a few days later and basically moved sideways for month from there.
On the 20th of April, in the Weekly part of the Bovespa analysis section, we put forth that an important signal level in one of our systems had been hit, which usually correlates with rebounds and sometimes even trend reversals in the markets. As it turned out, that market the bottom before a substantial month-long rally.
On the 11th of May, our wave analysis indicated that Bovespa Index should hit at least 71000. This clearly did *not* happen, as the sudden flare-up of the ongoing political crisis in Brazil, caused the market to drop violently on the 18th of May. The market topped out that cycle at 68792, which is clearly lower than our proposed minimum target of 71000.
However, in that same update, we also mentioned that if a critical level at 64720 was lost, then Bovespa might swiftly fall down towards 60000, which is almost exactly what happened after the loss of the critical level. If someone bought our 20th of April call for a reversal, and used 64720 or higher as stoploss, they’d probably escape this flash crash with break-even or even a small profit.
On the 22nd of June, we made the next call for the Bovespa Index, which was that an advance to approximately 64000 would commence soon, despite the index looking weak. This turned out to be correct, and the index rose to the 64000 level approximately 20 calendar days later.
On the 13th of July, we put forth that an adjustment to our preferred wave count would probably be necessary, and we speculated that if a break of 65600 was to occur, that the index would continue to 69500+. As of the 4th of August, the Bovespa Index closed on 66898, and it remains to be seen if our call for 69500+ will materialize.
H1 2017 turned out to be a choppy range bound affair for the Bovespa Index, in contrast to the trending nature of the Bovespa during H2 2016 (here’s the summary of our H2 2016 technical analyses of the Bovespa Index).
Despite our best efforts, we didn’t fully nail the top in February 2017, even if we did at least warn in January that a large correction would soon start.
The correction from February to April turned out to be fairly uneventful, but at least we got the start of the April-May rally quite closely called.
We missed the top on the 16th of May – which occured lower than we had expected – and the subsequent flash crash, even though our proposed critical level and stoploss at least rescued our subscribers who used it, from more than half the flash crash.
We did almost call the start of the rally in June, which is still ongoing, and now it of course remains to be seen if our proposed target of 69500+ will be hit next.
Sideways, choppy markets are known to frustrate most investors, traders and analysts. We are not immune to the difficulties of a choppy market. All we can do is work hard, try to find the likeliest outcome, as well as trying to find any strong contending adverse scenarios, and present them to our readers.

its highest level.
Furthermore, as a pioneer in constant velocity joints, we’ve held ourselves to high environmental standards. NTN has answered the demand for lighter, more compact, and higher performance products to reduce fuel consumption. We’ve also provided environmentally considerate products that strictly adhere to both domestic and international environmental standards.
The most typical type of bearing, these are used in a wide range of fields. They include grease-enclosed sealed and shield bearings for ease of use. Other types include bearings with a locating snap-ring to facilitate positioning when mounting the outer ring, expansion compensating bearings that absorb variations in bearing fitting surface dimensions due to housing temperature, and TAB bearings that are resistant to contamination in lubricating oil.
These have a structure that arranges single row angular contact ball bearings as back-to-back duplex (DB) bearings, uniting both the inner ring and outer ring. They are able to bear radial loads and bi-directional axial loads, with ability to bear moment loads as well. Both seal-type and shield-type bearings are available, with rated loads differing from open types.
F needle roller and cage assemblies are ready-to-mount, self-contained bearings. They are an excellent choice for applications that require a very rigid bearing arrangement as well as a high load carrying capacity. If the shaft and housing bore can serve as raceways, needle roller and cage assemblies require minimal radial space.
These bearings use small needle rollers, 6mm or less in diameter with a width 3 to 10 times diameter, as rolling elements. As such, they feature low cross-section height, high load capacity relative to dimensions, and high rigidity due to the number of elements, and are suited to wobbling or pivoting motion.
These include bearings using machined parts and bearings using pressed steel plate parts for the raceway washer, with the latter type having the smallest cross-sectional height and high load-bearing capacity.
Tapered roller bearings are designed so the inner and outer ring raceway and the apex of the tapered rollers intersect at one point on the bearing centerline. For this reason, the rollers are pushed against the inner ring rib and roll guided by the rib, receiving the loads from the inner ring raceway surface and the outer ring raceway surface as a combined load on the raceway surface. Component force is produced in the axial direction when a radial load is applied, so the bearings must be used in pairs. The inner ring with rollers and outer ring separate, facilitating mounting with clearance or preload. However, assembled clearance is hard to manage and calls for attention. Tapered roller bearings are capable of supporting large loads, both axial and radial. West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey has some good news for Eagles fans - baby watch won't rub him out of any AFL finals this year.
Shuey's partner Danielle Orlando is due to give birth to their first child in mid-September.
It was initially feared that the due date could force Shuey to miss a final if he was playing interstate.
Shuey missed the round 19 loss to North Melbourne in Tasmania after flying back to Perth following a minor scare.
But West Coast's top-two finish means the Eagles won't need to travel for at least three more weeks - by which point the baby will have been born.
"It (me missing a final) won't happen. We're all sorted," said Shuey, who confirmed he will be present at the birth.
"We've planned for every possible situation. We realised that finishing top two was all we needed.
"It means we don't have to travel for at least three more weeks. We're going to be alright. The baby will be born before we travel again."
Shuey said he was looking forward to joining the dad's club at West Coast alongside Jeremy McGovern, Will Schofield, Chris Masten, Josh Kennedy, Jack Darling, and Jack Redden.
The impending birth of his baby boy has Shuey excited and he hopes there will be something else significant to celebrate in September as he prepares for West Coast's flag assault.
The Eagles can book a spot in the preliminary final if they can beat Collingwood at Optus Stadium on Saturday week.
Richmond are favourites to win the flag, but West Coast are quietly confident of | its highest level.

The inner ring with rollers and outer ring separate, facilitating mounting with clearance or preload. However, assembled clearance is hard to manage and calls for attention. Tapered roller bearings are capable of supporting large loads, both axial and radial. West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey has some good news for Eagles fans - baby watch won't rub him out of any AFL finals this year.
Shuey's partner Danielle Orlando is due to give birth to their first child in mid-September.
It was initially feared that the due date could force Shuey to miss a final if he was playing interstate.
Shuey missed the round 19 loss to North Melbourne in Tasmania after flying back to Perth following a minor scare.
But West Coast's top-two finish means the Eagles won't need to travel for at least three more weeks - by which point the baby will have been born.
"It (me missing a final) won't happen. We're all sorted," said Shuey, who confirmed he will be present at the birth.
"We've planned for every possible situation. We realised that finishing top two was all we needed.
"It means we don't have to travel for at least three more weeks. We're going to be alright. The baby will be born before we travel again."
Shuey said he was looking forward to joining the dad's club at West Coast alongside Jeremy McGovern, Will Schofield, Chris Masten, Josh Kennedy, Jack Darling, and Jack Redden.
The impending birth of his baby boy has Shuey excited and he hopes there will be something else significant to celebrate in September as he prepares for West Coast's flag assault.
The Eagles can book a spot in the preliminary final if they can beat Collingwood at Optus Stadium on Saturday week.
Richmond are favourites to win the flag, but West Coast are quietly confident of | their own chances.
But they will have to do it without star duo Nic Naitanui (knee) and Andrew Gaff (suspended), with both players out for the rest of the year.
"The challenge for our midfield is can we all elevate a little bit and cover for the loss of Gaffy and Nic," Shuey said.
"It's a challenge, no doubt. You can't replace either of those guys like for like."
The Eagles are confident Josh Kennedy (shin) and Lewis Jetta (calf) will return against the Magpies. PhD Phis. -Math. Sci. Kovalevskaya E.I., PhD Phis. -Math. Sci.
1. We extend the author’ earlier result to inhomogeneous case.
Q = R´C´ and Q1 = R´ (k ³ 2). We define a measure in Q as a product of the Lebesque measures m and m¢ in R and R2 respectively, and the Haar measure in (1 £ i £ k), that is, .We define also a measure in Θ1 as a product of the Lebesque measure m in R and the Haar measure in , that is, .
where Θ and Θ. The parameters satisfy the following conditions: max min , Besides, we have the conditions and in the case , and in the case . Note that the first conditions for the parameters except the trivial inequalities in (2) and (3). We prove two theorems.
Theorem 1. For every vector Θ1 the system of inequalities (2) has only a finite number of solutions in polynomials P2 for almost all Θ1.
Theorem 2. For every vector Θ the system of inequalities (3) has only a finite number of solutions in polynomials P3 for almost all Θ.
Other words, we can say that according to the theorem 1 for every vector Θ1 the system of inequalities (2) has infinitely many solutions in polynomials P2 for almost none Θ1. Similarly we can get a new formulation of the theorem 2. The condition (1) is a crucial condition for such a metric characteristic. If the opposite condition carries out, i. e., then according to the Khintcine theorem (1924) we can expect that for every vector Θ1 the system of inequalities (2) has infinitely many solutions in polynomials P2 for almost all Θ1 and we can have a similarly result for (3). Thus, we see that these metric assertions have the character of assertions of the “almost none” or “almost all” type (so-called zero-one law). Hence, the problem under consideration belongs to the metric theory of Diophantine approximation on manifolds which is developed intensively this time [1-4].
The situation is different when we consider instead of where d is an irrational number. With a point of view of the continuity it is readily proved that for any we can f ind such a number d that where p1 and p2 are the zeros of . Besides, the zeros of are the transcendental numbers if d is the same number.
Note that the inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation for the Veronese curve were investigated earlier by V. Bernik, H. Dickinson and M. Dodson in only, V. Bernik, H. Dickinson and J. Yuan in only.
In order to prove the theorems we need four lemmas. As in [5, p. 32, 93], the investigation of systems (2) and (3) can be reduced to the case of the primitive irreducible polynomials Pn with and . We denote the set of those polynomials as be the subset of polynomials for which and H is a sufficient large integer. Let be the zeros of the polynomial Pn in C and be the zeros of the polynomial Pn in , where be the smallest field containing and all algebraic numbers, .
For proof see Lemma 7 [5, p.19].
Definition. We denote the smallest m for which (4) is true by m0.
Lemma 2. Let and with where c is a constant depending only on n, . Then for every root of Pn .
For proof see Lemma 1 [5, p.13].
Lemma 3. Let and with where c1 is a constant depending only on n. Then for every root of Pn .
For proof see Lemma 3 .

Jekalyn Carr Guest Stars "You Will Win" on OWN's 'Greenleaf' series & soundtrack
Gospel music's reigning princess, Jekalyn Carr, has just announced the first single to be released from her forthcoming live record, One Nation Under God. The song, "You Will Win" is a powerful and prophetic word from the Lord to encourage all believers. The song was a standout at Carr's recent live recording and is a bold declaration of victory in Christ Jesus. "You Will Win" was written by Carr's father, Allen Carr, the songwriter behind her biggest records to date, including "Greater Is Coming" and the Grammy nominated "You're Bigger." This father-and-daughter dynamic duo has proven to be anointed and impactful | within the body of Christ, as they labor together to ensure that God's name is uplifted and His people are blessed and encouraged.
Carr feels lead to declare a winning season over the saints of God. "Many have toiled and suffered tribulation in their bodies, in their finances, and in their homes and families, but God wants us to know that it is time to reap the fruit of our tears, our prayers, and our worship," she states. The song, which will soon be released to radio outlets across the country, is destined to become an anthem of faith around the world. Its refrain, "It's my winning season. Everything attached to me wins!" is sure to resonate within the hearts and souls of all who hear it. The Bible declares that death and life are in the power of the tongue, and Carr firmly believes that releasing this collective proclamation of faith into the atmosphere will command a mighty move of God on the behalf of all His people.
"You Will Win" can be considered the soundtrack to Carr's soon-to-be-released and similarly titled book as both declare the season of victory that she believes God has prepared for His own.
You Will Win: Inspirational Strategies to Help You Overcome is a collection of Carr's most poignant and powerful exhortations, inspirational messages, pointers, and strategies designed to promote a victorious life in Christ. While out traveling the world, and ministering to the masses, Carr has sensed a strong yearning for the tools necessary to live victoriously, in Christ. To that end, she felt compelled to create these audio and printed resources that will provide Biblical and relevant insight for believers.
Taking their message of faith to an even bigger audience, Carr and Carr will soon be contributing to the wildly popular original OWN series, "Greenleaf". Jekalyn will appear in a guest-starring role in the upcoming season and will be featured on the official show's soundtrack, with a song produced by Mr. Carr.
Carr's new song, the book, and the album will all be released soon. Her appearance on "Greenleaf," and her contribution to the soundtrack, are both slated for this Fall. Each of the above will set the stage for another dynamic season of ministry and evangelism for the Carr family.

Order here Concertina Scape
Contemporary music (1985-2004) for Wheatstone's concertina played by Pauline de Snoo on concertina and Chris van de Kuilen on piano. Voice Katrien Verheijden. Released February 2008.
Information and review:
This cd has been produced with the aim to make available, in sound, contemporary music especially composed for English Concertina. With the hope that it will inspire others to play or compose as well. Music composed by:
Richard Williams composed several pieces for concertina. Two of the pieces for piano and concertina are on this cd: Summer Song and Nocturne.
Chris van de Kuilen and Pauline de Snoo together composed Concertina Scape during their studies at Fontys Conservatorium. It is a piece in four parts which reminds one of the moods of a big city, e.g. stillness of dawn, traffic in rush hour, lay out of a city, romance of a hot summer afternoon.
Oliver Hunt (1934-2000) taught composition and guitar at the Royal College of Music. He composed Song of the Sea in 1985, dedicated to Douglas Rogers. Much of his melodic material is from the sea shanty "Windy old weather", although the theme is not stated in full until the very end of the work. It is programme music of a sort, with various passages being evocative of quiet waves, sea gulls floating in the sky, etc.
Hazel Leach, composed Webworks first and some years later the two songs for trio (voice, concertina, piano): Selfportrait and Sting in the Tale. She originally wrote the songs for the Big Band United Women's Orchestra, of which she is also one of the conductors and bandleaders.
Keith Amos was commisioned in 1987 to write Compositae by Douglas Rogers.
CD review by Paul Walker as published in CW 459 2014.
Within 70 seconds of loading this CD, I was aware that I had stumbled across what I consider a ground-breaking album. One that, without fuss, bypasses all the hyperbole, by delivering music written and played by the concertina, for 20th century and 21st century sensibilities. Of the eight compositions on the CD only two were written pre the Millennium; however it says little for my awareness of the music scene in that the CD was produced in 2008 and so it has taken me six years to find out and enjoy it. The concertina player is Pauline de Snoo, ably and dexterously accompanied by Chris van de Kuilen on piano. Two songs are interpreted by Katrien Verheijden. I love traditional folk ballads, but these songs deal with 21st century existence without the triteness of a pop song. It is difficult to describe the genres: at a guess I would say modern jazz/classical. Chord progressions and melodic structures are unfamiliar, whilst the full range of the 48 key English concertina is used. Even the bat squeaks at the top of the keyboard!

The CD reminds me in parts of Escalator over the Hill by | Carla Bley. Yet it is not remote or dissonant. The melodies and tempo are far from folk music, or my usual listening fare - roots rock rhythms. It is a source of regret to me that the concertina is so little utilised in this area, although the bands playing in Bolivia and South Africa encourage me to look for more. The playing throughout is expert; recording is crystal clear and the timbre of the concertina is a delight. One track is reminiscent of a French accordion, in others its metal ended tone is mercury bright, rising and falling on melodies that are emotional without being melodramatic or hackneyed. Even dense concertina chords, which can be spoiled on some models/boxes by overtones, ring true. I only have one complaint - why has it taken so long for a follow-up CD! Pauline de Snoo is self-effacing as regards credits on the sleeve. However this CD is a tour-de-force by her: the playing staccato or legato where required. Her style is fluid yet classically restrained - not the easiest thing to do on the English concertina. I am aware of no other CD that so clearly states, "Composers - you have another voice, another colour in your palate; the concertina is ready to express jazz and modern classical, whatever genre you choose to express yourself in."

Election-related spam texts are annoying no matter how you vote

Christina Wood has been covering technology for 15+ years. She has contributed to Family Circle, PC World, PC Magazine, CIO, Yahoo and many other publications.
Political texts become a serious irritant as an election season heats up, even though blasting mass texts to lots of people's cell phones is illegal. The first time you got a political text, you were probably shocked and wondered, "Why am I getting spam text messages?" You didn't opt-in for this. And you don't want them. If you're one of the unlucky people getting pelted by them, it will get worse as the election nears. You need to know how to stop political texts.
Are Spam Political Texts Illegal?
Technically, campaigners aren't doing anything illegal here. They're not blasting one text to groups of people at once, rather this is one person sending you one text, which is completely legal. Even though the campaigner is using a peer-to-peer texting app that makes it possible for him to send 1,500 voting text messages in an hour.
How Do You Stop Election Texts?
There is no registry for this that will stop spam texts, as the campaigns are already bypassing that regulation by using peer-to-peer apps to communicate one-on-one with voters.
Type STOP to get off of this campaigners list.
But there is a simple solution. Just type "STOP" into the reply section of your messaging app and send it back to the person who texted you. You'll receive a message stating you've been removed from their list.
Will All Political Texts Stop Now?
That's all you have to do to get off of this campaigner's list. Unfortunately, this strategy is unlikely to stop the political texts altogether and will only stop that individual campaign from texting you.
An emerging industry of peer-to-peer apps is helping campaigners reach voters in one of the only ways left to them that is effective. And this | 1,024 | 1 |
happy to see attention given to Maggie Smith’s new book Keep Moving (see NPR radio interview here and Slate article here). I keep expecting to feel jealous, but I don’t. On the contrary, I’m happy to see a poet like her succeed. I am also not jealous of Louise Gluck, our newest Nobel Laureate. Both women have been more focused than I have of late. Both women write poetry I love–so I’m happy to see them get success. And even if Maggie Smith is getting publicity for her newest book, which is not a poetry book, I’m happy. I like to see the many ways we could succeed as writers. I like the reminder that all is not lost.
Kristin Berkey-Abbott, A Week of Womanist/Feminist Challenges and Triumphs
I was interested to read Jonathan Jones’s Guardian review of the Artemisia Gentileschi exhibition at the National Gallery. It’s an important show, which rightly seeks to claim Gentileschi’s ‘greatness’, as Jones calls it, as a woman artist among the traditional pantheon of almost exclusively male painters.
The physicality of her painting of ‘Judith Beheading Holofernes’ reminds me of another rendering of the same story, by another great artist, the poet Vicki Feaver: her Forward-Prize-winning poem ‘Judith’, from her essential 1994 collection The Handless Maiden, which strikes a perfect balance between the sensuality and calculated violence of this tale from the Apocrypha.
As a poet, Feaver has the advantage of including a back-story of motive for the murder; Gentileschi, of course, is unable to do that, but her own motivation, outlined by Jones, clearly informs the unflinching manner of her depiction. Ultimately, the result is more-or-less the same: Gentileschi shows us blood dripping from Holofernes’s neck and a look of terror on his face, and Feaver likewise ends her poem, in an half-rhymed couplet, with the brutal truth:
And I bring my blade
down on his neck – and it’s easy
like slicing through fish.
And I bring it down again,
cleaving the bone.
Matthew Paul, Judith
I can’t leave Montreal, at least until the end of the month, because a new lockdown was imposed on October 1, so there is no question of driving out into the country to see the fall foliage, visiting a natural area, or going apple picking, let alone visiting Vermont or the Adirondacks. I’m fortunate to be able to see trees and fall color from my window, and to have begonias, geraniums, nasturtiums and sweet peas blooming on our terrace, but I still have a persistent sense of being trapped — as so many of us do.
It helps to turn to images of places I love. A couple of weeks ago I re-explored a garden we visited at the Ex Convento del Carmen (former Carmelite convent) in the Mexico City suburb of San Angel, and made a few drawings and watercolor sketches. […]
As you can probably see, these watercolors are getting looser, less realistic, and more expressive — but often I still do a fairly realistic black-and-white drawing first to work out the shapes and compositional relationships — plus, I just like to draw. There are few activities that feel more absorbing, and even though I’ve done it all my life, it always feels like magic to start with a blank sheet of paper and end up with a representation of something observed and a record of that particular time and place and state of mind.
Drawing, more than any other art activity, also connects me to all the artists who’ve filled sketchbooks and made drawings. I feel my eyes travel from the object to the paper and back again, without much conscious thinking, as my hand somehow — I don’t pretend to understand it — translates that seeing into lines and forms. Even when the drawing doesn’t come out particularly well, it still seems like a little quiet miracle that human beings try to do this, and have always done it: “I sat here, I was still, I looked, I used my hands and eyes and made this.” Maybe there’s some hope for us after all.

It’s an important show, which rightly seeks to claim Gentileschi’s ‘greatness’, as Jones calls it, as a woman artist among the traditional pantheon of almost exclusively male painters.
The physicality of her painting of ‘Judith Beheading Holofernes’ reminds me of another rendering of the same story, by another great artist, the poet Vicki Feaver: her Forward-Prize-winning poem ‘Judith’, from her essential 1994 collection The Handless Maiden, which strikes a perfect balance between the sensuality and calculated violence of this tale from the Apocrypha.
As a poet, Feaver has the advantage of including a back-story of motive for the murder; Gentileschi, of course, is unable to do that, but her own motivation, outlined by Jones, clearly informs the unflinching manner of her depiction. Ultimately, the result is more-or-less the same: Gentileschi shows us blood dripping from Holofernes’s neck and a look of terror on his face, and Feaver likewise ends her poem, in an half-rhymed couplet, with the brutal truth:
And I bring my blade
down on his neck – and it’s easy
like slicing through fish.
And I bring it down again,
cleaving the bone.
Matthew Paul, Judith
I can’t leave Montreal, at least until the end of the month, because a new lockdown was imposed on October 1, so there is no question of driving out into the country to see the fall foliage, visiting a natural area, or going apple picking, let alone visiting Vermont or the Adirondacks. I’m fortunate to be able to see trees and fall color from my window, and to have begonias, geraniums, nasturtiums and sweet peas blooming on our terrace, but I still have a persistent sense of being trapped — as so many of us do.
It helps to turn to images of places I love. A couple of weeks ago I re-explored a garden we visited at the Ex Convento del Carmen (former Carmelite convent) in the Mexico City suburb of San Angel, and made a few drawings and watercolor sketches. […]
As you can probably see, these watercolors are getting looser, less realistic, and more expressive — but often I still do a fairly realistic black-and-white drawing first to work out the shapes and compositional relationships — plus, I just like to draw. There are few activities that feel more absorbing, and even though I’ve done it all my life, it always feels like magic to start with a blank sheet of paper and end up with a representation of something observed and a record of that particular time and place and state of mind.
Drawing, more than any other art activity, also connects me to all the artists who’ve filled sketchbooks and made drawings. I feel my eyes travel from the object to the paper and back again, without much conscious thinking, as my hand somehow — I don’t pretend to understand it — translates that seeing into lines and forms. Even when the drawing doesn’t come out particularly well, it still seems like a little quiet miracle that human beings try to do this, and have always done it: “I sat here, I was still, I looked, I used my hands and eyes and made this.” Maybe there’s some hope for us after all.
Beth Adams, Hermit Diary 41. Searching the Landscape
I | think my cat was perplexed. He has grown accustomed to me leading services from the dining room table: the laptop, my microphone, perhaps a pair of Shabbat or festival candles lit on the table beside me, lots of singing.
These days when I daven from the table, he looks up briefly from his favorite perch on the cat tree and then returns to napping. But he has never seen me dance around the room holding a big metal-bound Tanakh encrusted with gems.
I don’t have a Torah scroll at home, so I danced with the big metal-bound Tanakh that used to belong to my parents. I waltzed with it; I spun around in circles with it; I danced with it in a circumnambulation of the room; I cradled it like a baby in my arms.
Seven songs, seven poems, seven hakafot. Evoking the seven days of the first week, and the seven “lower sefirot” or qualities that we share with our Creator from lovingkindness to boundaries and strength all the way to presence and Shechinah.
I thrilled to the secret heart revealed when we go from the end of Torah directly to her beginning, from loss to starting over, from lamed to bet. I opened my Tanakh to a random word and from that word I gave myself a blessing.
And then I went to bed, and I slept the sleep of the overtired rabbi and elementary school parent who could finally relax into knowing that the work of this long, challenging (and this year, pandemic-unprecedented) holy season was done.

I have an uneasy relationship with prompts. I can’t trust the whole set-up, because sometimes they work: I drop into some strange space of utterance and up bubbles things strange and fantastic; and sometimes they don’t, and I’m clutching my pen and strangling the empty page with grabby fingers of text.
It has something to do with breathing. No. It has something to do with attention. No. Is it in the set of my jaw? Should I squint my eyes? The whole enterprise seems impossible. Except when it’s glorious.
If the effort toward writing from a prompt seems too effort-full, the only thing to do is walk away. Go yank weeds or walk or lately I’ve been taking objects and slathering them with blue paint and dragging them across paper. A bottle cap. The red mesh that onions come in. A stick. Good fun.
Marilyn McCabe, All the noise noise noise; or, On Writing from Prompts
There is an interview on On Being with Jericho Brown where he says, “Poems have to make our lives clear. Poems have to make our lives real on the page. And nobody’s living an easy life. Nobody’s living a life that is anything other than complex. And there are things about our lives that TV’s not going to give us, that movies, even, are not going to give us. And poems are where I go for that. That’s where I go for the complexity, the thing in us that we don’t really understand.” What I want is the complexity and powerful possibilities that a poem or poetic language can give us. What we know right now is as Brown says, “Nobody’s living a life that is anything other than complex.” So I want to give thanks for that thought, and acknowledge how complex life is for so many people. And I also want to give thanks for the space of a poem, how full it can be, even when it seems thinned out, spare, careful. How wild a poem can be in and of itself, and how it can surprise us and delight us and guide us to a wholeness in ourselves.
It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, and it feels more important than ever to acknowledge the complicated history of the holiday. A lot of us have cancelled get-togethers due to Covid-19 concerns which feels like a small sacrifice. I’m asking myself, what do I have to share, who can I donate to, since we won’t be spending money making a big meal. So that’s one place to start on a day where we give thanks.

Officer’s disciplinary appeal subject to release under records law
A California appellate court ruled that a law enforcement officer’s disciplinary appeal record is not a personnel record and therefore must be disclosed to a Public Records Act requester.
Sep. 24, 2004 — A law enforcement officer’s disciplinary appeal hearing record cannot be shielded from the public under the personnel record exemption to the California Public Records Act, a state appellate court ruled last week.
The records dispute began when The Copley Press, Inc., publisher of The San Diego Union-Tribune and nine other daily newspapers, requested disciplinary appeal documents for a state peace officer under the California Public Records Act.
At the request of the peace officer, the San Diego Civil Service Commission redacted his name from the records before it disclosed them and Copley sued. The trial court ruled that the personnel records exemption to the California Public Record Act protected the records. Copley appealed.
The California Court of Appeal reversed. Justice Alex C. McDonald wrote for the court that the statutory definition of personnel records is “any file maintained under that individual’s name by his or her employing agency ,” and that although the commission had conducted the disciplinary appeal, it was not the officer’s employing agency. Furthermore, the commission could not show that the information in the disciplinary appeals record was mined from the employing agency’s files, he wrote.
Although much of the information in the disciplinary appeal record duplicated information in the officer’s non-discloseable personnel record, McDonald said that the personnel record public record exemption “does not cloak information in those records with a mantle of absolute privilege.” Instead, he said, it contemplates that “the same information derived from independent sources is not imbued with confidentiality.”
McDonald said the ruling furthers the public’s right to know about the operation of its government, specifically the police discipline system.

Arjun Vajpai is the third youngest Indian to climb the Mount Everest. He achieved this feat at a very early age of 16 years. He broke the record of Krushnaa Patil of Maharashtra, who climbed the summit at the age of 19. | On 20 May 2011, Krushnaa became the youngest climber ever to Summit Lhotse, aged 17 years. Arjun, too, became the youngest to Summit Mt Manaslu on October 4, 2011.
Arjun Vajpai, Nima Tshering Sherpa and Tshering Phinjo Sherpa started from South Col (Camp IV 7950 m) at 10:24 pm on 21 May and reached the top of Mt Everest at 06:33 am (Kathmandu Time) on 22 May.
On October 14, 2015, Arjun, along with mountaineer Bhupesh Kumar, created another history by scaling an unexplored peak 6,180 meters high in Himachal's Spiti Valley.
Arjun is the son of Capt. Sanjeev Vajpai and Priya Bajpai. Arjun, a Class-XII student at Ryan International School, Noida, was fascinated with trekking and mountaineering since childhood. He has undergone two years of training from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering.

The goal of every speech differs, but Dinesh”s ultimate aim is to educate and stimulate the mind and touch the right chord of emotions Gov. Laura Kelly's message to state employees: 'I believe in you'

Gov. Laura Kelly trumpeted her support for state workers and efforts to improve agency leadership during an appreciation event for government employees Wednesday at the Statehouse.
"I know these have been challenging times," Kelly said. "I don't have to tell you how deeply the workforce was cut in Kansas agencies. Often, they were cut to the point where you were just trying to get by and keep your heads above water. I know that feeling, and I hate that feeling. And I'm committed to changing it."
Kelly, a Democrat, said the decimation of state services was a factor in her decision to run for governor. Supply-side tax cuts favored by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback presented yearly budget challenges for the state.
When Kelly submitted her proposed budget in January, she asked for a pay raise for state employees. They will get a 2.5 percent increase under the budget adopted by lawmakers. Kelly also noted that one of her first actions as governor was to sign an executive order protecting LGBTQ state employees from discrimination.
Kelly told employees she believes in public service, "and I believe in you."
"And did I mention I appointed leaders who are actually qualified for their jobs?" Kelly said.
The governor shook hands and took photos with employees of the quarter from various agency departments.
The message of appreciation resonated with Oscar Gomez, who works as a chaplain at the state prison in Hutchinson.
"The job that we do as correctional staff is very important for the state," Gomez said. "Our commitment to the public, to keep the incarcerated people where they belong but also to reform them — as a chaplain I do a lot of stuff to try to get them better so they go back to society with a different mind and a different heart."

Libertarianism Through Thick and Thin
Charles Johnson | September 4th, 2012
The following article was written by Charles Johnson and published in The Freeman, July 2008.
To what extent should libertarians concern themselves with social commitments, practices, projects, or movements that seek social outcomes beyond, or other than, the standard libertarian commitment to expanding the scope of freedom from government coercion?
Clearly, a consistent and principled libertarian cannot support efforts or beliefs that are contrary to libertarian principles — such as efforts to engineer social outcomes by means of government intervention. But if coercive laws have been taken off the table, then what should libertarians say about other religious, philosophical, social, or cultural commitments that pursue their ends through noncoercive means, such as targeted moral agitation, mass education, artistic or literary propaganda, charity, mutual aid, public praise, ridicule, social ostracism, targeted boycotts, social investing, slowdowns and strikes in a particular shop, general strikes, or other forms of solidarity and coordinated action? Which social movements should they oppose, which should they support, and toward which should they counsel indifference? And how do we tell the difference?
In other words, should libertarianism be seen as a “thin” commitment, which can be happily joined to absolutely any set of values and projects, “so long as it is peaceful,” or is it better to treat it as one strand among others in a “thick” bundle of intertwined social commitments? Such disputes are often intimately connected with other disputes concerning the specifics of libertarian rights theory or class analysis and the mechanisms of social power. To grasp what’s at stake, it will be necessary to make the question more precise and to tease out the distinctions among some of the different possible relationships between libertarianism and “thicker” bundles of social, cultural, religious, or philosophical commitments, which might recommend integrating the two on some level or another.
The forms of “thickness” I am about to discuss should not be confused with two other kinds of commitments, one tightly and one loosely connected to libertarianism: those logically entailed by the philosophy itself (what I call “thickness in entailment”), such as opposition to private aggression, and those that relate simply to being a good person (“thickness in conjunction”), such as being a loving parent. As an example of the first category, it might be argued that libertarians ought to actively oppose certain traditional cultural practices that involve the systematic use of violence against peaceful people — such as East African customs of forcing clitoridectomy on unwilling girls or the American and European custom of judges and juries ignoring the facts and the law to acquit or reduce the sentence for men who murdered unfaithful wives or their lovers. Principled libertarianism logically entails criticism of these social and cultural practices for the same reason that it entails criticism of government intervention: because the nonaggression principle condemns any violence against individual rights to life, liberty, and property, regardless of who commits it, and not just forms that are officially practiced by government.

Libertarianism Through Thick and Thin
Charles Johnson | September 4th, 2012
The following article was written by Charles Johnson and published in The Freeman, July 2008.
To what extent should libertarians concern themselves with social commitments, practices, projects, or movements that seek social outcomes beyond, or other than, the standard libertarian commitment to expanding the scope of freedom from government coercion?
Clearly, a consistent and principled libertarian cannot support efforts or beliefs that are contrary to libertarian principles — such as efforts to engineer social outcomes by means of government intervention. But if coercive laws have been taken off the table, then what should libertarians say about other religious, philosophical, social, or cultural commitments that pursue their ends through noncoercive means, such as targeted moral agitation, mass education, artistic or literary propaganda, charity, mutual aid, public praise, ridicule, social ostracism, targeted boycotts, social investing, slowdowns and strikes in a particular shop, general strikes, or other forms of solidarity and coordinated action? Which social movements should they oppose, which should they support, and toward which should they counsel indifference? And how do we tell the difference?
In other words, should libertarianism be seen as a “thin” commitment, which can be happily joined to absolutely any set of values and projects, “so long as it is peaceful,” or is it better to treat it as one strand among others in a “thick” bundle of intertwined social commitments? Such disputes are often intimately connected with other disputes concerning the specifics of libertarian rights theory or class analysis and the mechanisms of social power. To grasp what’s at stake, it will be necessary to make the question more precise and to tease out the distinctions among some of the different possible relationships between libertarianism and “thicker” bundles of social, cultural, religious, or philosophical commitments, which might recommend integrating the two on some level or another.
The forms of “thickness” I am about to discuss should not be confused with two other kinds of commitments, one tightly and one loosely connected to libertarianism: those logically entailed by the philosophy itself (what I call “thickness in entailment”), such as opposition to private aggression, and those that relate simply to being a good person (“thickness in conjunction”), such as being a loving parent. As an example of the first category, it might be argued that libertarians ought to actively oppose certain traditional cultural practices that involve the systematic use of violence against peaceful people — such as East African customs of forcing clitoridectomy on unwilling girls or the American and European custom of judges and juries ignoring the facts and the law to acquit or reduce the sentence for men who murdered unfaithful wives or their lovers. Principled libertarianism logically entails criticism of these social and cultural practices for the same reason that it entails criticism of government intervention: because the nonaggression principle condemns any violence against individual rights to life, liberty, and property, regardless of who commits it, and not just forms that are officially practiced by government.
Between the tightest and the loosest possible connections, at least four other kinds of connections might exist between libertarianism and further social commitments, offering a number of important, but subtly distinct, avenues for thick libertarian analysis and criticism.
Thickness for Application
First, there might be some commitments that a libertarian can reject without formally contradicting the nonaggression principle, but which she cannot reject without in fact interfering with its proper application. Principles beyond libertarianism alone may be necessary for determining where my rights end and yours begin, or for stripping away conceptual blinders that prevent certain violations of liberty from being recognized as such.
Consider the way in which garden-variety political collectivism prevents many nonlibertarians from even recognizing taxation or legislation by a democratic government as being forms of coercion in the first place. (After all, didn’t “we” consent to it?) Or, perhaps more controversially, think of the feminist criticism of the traditional division between the “private” and the “political” sphere, and of those who divide the spheres in such a way that pervasive, systemic violence and coercion within families turn out to be justified, or excused, or simply ignored as something “private” and therefore less than a | serious form of violent oppression. If feminists are right about the way in which sexist political theories protect or excuse systematic violence against women, there is an important sense in which libertarians, because they are libertarians, should also be feminists. Importantly, the commitments that libertarians need to have here aren’t just applications of general libertarian principle to a special case; the argument calls in resources other than the nonaggression principle to determine just where and how the principle is properly applied. Thus the thickness called for is thicker than logical entailment, but the cash value of the thick commitments is the direct contribution they make toward the complete application of the nonaggression principle.
Thickness from Grounds
Second, libertarians have many different ideas about the theoretical foundation for the nonaggression principle — that is, about the best reasons for being a libertarian. But whatever general foundational beliefs a given libertarian has, those beliefs may have some logical implications other than libertarianism alone. Thus there may be cases in which certain beliefs or commitments could be rejected without contradicting the nonaggression principle per se, but could not be rejected without logically undermining the deeper reasons that justify the nonaggression principle. Although you could consistently accept libertarianism without accepting these commitments or beliefs, you could not do so reasonably: Rejecting the commitments means rejecting the proper grounds for libertarianism.
Consider the conceptual reasons that libertarians have to oppose authoritarianism, not only as enforced by governments but also as expressed in culture, business, the family, and civil society. Social systems of status and authority include not only exercises of coercive power by the government, but also a knot of ideas, practices, and institutions based on deference to traditionally constituted authority. In politics these patterns of deference show up most clearly in the honorary titles, submissive etiquette, and unquestioning obedience traditionally expected by, and willingly extended to, heads of state, judges, police, and other visible representatives of government “law and order.” Although these rituals and habits of obedience exist against the backdrop of statist coercion and intimidation, they are also often practiced voluntarily. Similar kinds of deference are often demanded from workers by bosses, or from children by parents or teachers. Submission to traditionally constituted authorities is reinforced not only through violence and threats, but also through art, humor, sermons, written history, journalism, child-rearing, and so on.
Although political coercion is the most distinctive expression of political inequality, you could — in principle — have a consistently authoritarian social order without any use of force. Even in a completely free society, everyone could, in principle, still voluntarily agree to bow and scrape and speak only when spoken to in the presence of the (mutually agreed-on) town chief, or unthinkingly agree to obey whatever restrictions and regulations he tells them to follow in their own business or personal lives, or agree to give him as much in voluntary “taxes” on their income or property as he might ask. So long as the expectation of submission and the demands for wealth to be rendered were backed up only by verbal harangues, cultural glorifications of the wise and virtuous authorities, social ostracism of “unruly” dissenters, and so on, these demands would violate no one’s individual rights to liberty or property.
But while there’s nothing logically inconsistent about a libertarian envisioning — or even championing — this sort of social order, it would certainly be weird. Noncoercive authoritarianism may be consistent with libertarian principles, but it is hard to reasonably reconcile the two. Whatever reasons you may have for rejecting the arrogant claims of power-hungry politicians and bureaucrats — say, for example, the Jeffersonian notion that all men and women are born equal in political authority and that no one has a natural right to rule or dominate other people’s affairs — probably serve just as well for reasons to reject other kinds of authoritarian pretension, even if they are not expressed by means of coercive government action. While no one should be forced as a matter of policy to treat her fellows with the respect due to equals, or to cultivate independent thinking and contempt for the arrogance of power, libertarians certainly can — and should — criticize those who do not, and exhort our fellows not to rely on authoritarian social institutions, for much the same reasons that we have for end | 1,024 | 1 |

1st Chard Wheelers Youth Stage Race
13 riders from Taw Velo made their way to Ilton on Saturday morning to take part in the 1st Chard Wheelers Youth Stage Race. Clubs and riders from around the South West area had a day of grueling challenges. The overall event had over 70 riders taking part, with Taw Velo's latest recruit Morgan Wilson age 6 being the youngest rider there.

Tour of Tesco Youth Series Round 2
The Taw Velo Cycling Club youth team aimed high at Sundays Tesco's race. The squad, fuelled by the morning's Easter eggs, put on a sterling performance and managed to secure four places on the podium.
The storms from earlier in the day had started to clear away as riders arrived for the opening round of the North Devon Wheelers Tour of Tesco Youth Series on Sunday, 29th March.
Riders from the South West ventured up to Sherwood Forest to compete in the first round of the National MTB Cross-country Series competition hosted by British Cycling. The event, held over the weekend, was attend by over 600 riders from across the UK representing both local clubs and even national teams from Portugal, Holland and Belgium.
The course run over 5 kilometres was mainly flat with some tight section in the trees, meaning riders would have to choose carefully when to overtake. The weather played a big part in the race as continuous rain meant the track became muddier and riders had a difficult time remaining up right and keeping warm. George Armstrong from Taw Velo Bike It lined up with over 60 riders in the Youth race. Covering 4 laps, George found himself in the same race as the National Champion, Daniel Tulett of Specialized Racing, who dominated the race straight from the start. The tough conditions challenged all the skills of riders and George finished a respectable 38 overall out of 64 starters.

Fellow rider Gabriel Cox from Certini pushed himself to the max and finished 23 overall. Southfork had 2 riders in the longer 5 lap race, reduced from 6 due to the appalling weather conditions. Over a 100 riders lined up in the Elite, Junior and Expert male categories, 88 riders started in the Expert race with Southfork being represented by Matthew Loake and Edward Worthington. Both riders has a tough race battling through the large volume of riders. The course became slippy with mud being thrown up from other riders wheels this meant seeing was also becoming a challenge. Both riders made excellent progress through the field with Edward finishing 23rd and Matthew 30th.
The next round of the National MTB Cross-country Series heads to Plymouth for a 3-day event, starting on Friday 17th April with a moonlit race.

Sunday, 8th March witnessed the final round of the Soggy Bottom XC Series and thus treated riders to a very wet and muddy course. After a few days of rain and a cold spell, the final race series started with the under 13s race. Problems for the young riders started straight from the off, with a pile up on the first corner, meaning that some of the potential hopefuls had a much harder task of moving up the leader board. Young riders Ch | uck Harmer, Malo Montepetit-Lebrun and Ethan Jones made effective use of the crash and managed to create a strong lead. All three riders rode very aggressively for the 20 minute race, managing to lap some of the younger riders. Eventually Malo was able to take the win, just ahead of Ethan (2nd) and Chuck (3rd). Fellow Taw Velo riders Ben Rowell (6th), Charlie Tompkins (7th) and Edward Armstrong (11th) could not regain the ground lost from the start. The under 13s team was able to secure 3 of the top 5 places in the overall series with Chuck 3rd, Ben 4th and Edward 5th. Charlie finished 8th in the overall race series.
The under 10s race was also dominated by Taw Velo youth riders. Louis Garnsworthy, who was also caught up in the fall at the first corner, was able to secure 3rd place in the Under 10s boys race, along with Fin Mead in 5th place. Overall standings, despite the wet weather, allowed Louis to remain at the top position in the series, with Fin coming in 3rd. Max Standen, who was away racing at the Manchester arena on the weekend, managed 9th overall in the series. The under 10s girls race was once again was won by Ellen Garnsworthy. After a tough battle with new rider Alisha Mccartney, Ellen was able to stay ahead of her and secure 1st place for the overall series win as well.
The morning's rain meant that the youth race, which also included Elite, Expert, Juvenile and Sport categories, would test both endurance and skill of the riders. Approx. 90 riders set off from under starters orders, all heading for the first corner and a very tricky climb up a very slippery ascent. Luke Eggor and Matt Loake from Southfork Racing both managed an excellent start and were able to demonstrate their skill over some very tricky descents, which tested even the most experienced riders. Although there was no river crossings in the 2.7 mile course, the mud and standing water made sure that all riders were very wet and muddy throughout the race. The sport male category was won by Tom Holland from Westcoast MTB, Southfork riders who also finished the race included Ed Welsh (11th).
The youth race, which involved two and a half laps of the main circuit, also had a challenge for the title position. Gabriel Cox from Certini rode very strong during the race and was able to challenge some of the Elite male riders for the top placings. Overall series win was held by Gabriel, George Armstrong from Taw Velo was able to secure 3rd place on the day, which meant overall he would be 2nd in the series.
Next up was the large field consisting of Grand Vet, Vet and Fun categories. The course was now very slippy in places and the steep descents made harder with exposed tree roots, could only mean that falling off would become part of the course. Riders who managed to sprint into the first corner would be able to take advantage of having less traffic to get through and loss of traction due to volume of riders. Southfork Racing’s MTB team was able to secure a lead on the first lap and the possibility of an overall series win for the North Devon team. The terrain now very muddy, meant that the easier B-line routes were just as difficult as the harder A-line routes. Tired legs along with faces covered in mud made the whole race harder. The sun managed to shine in the afternoon, however this was too late and the whole course was one big muddy track, which sapped a riders energy very quickly. The fun race was won by Lee Mason with Taw Velo’s Nick Rowell managing 6th on the day. Southfork Racing’s Pete Dawe got 2nd place on the day, ensuring 1st place in the overall series with Nick Butler 4th (3rd overall) ad Sean Cannock 19th. Taw Velo rider Darren Armstrong secured his highest placing of the series so far with 12th place and Graham Garnsworthy also managed his highest placing coming in at 17th.

The task force must be able to make recommendations on a rolling basis before 18 months, as they see fit.
The scope of the task force’s work must include community needs assessments, as well as feasibility studies for the implementation of best-practice programs like housing first and non-police crisis response. Feasibility studies are necessary if the task force’s recommendations are to have a clear pathway to implementation.
Call or Email the Mayor and Council ASAP
The Mayor’s final proposal for a task force must include these provisions in order to take meaningful steps toward re-envisioning public safety in Greenfield. Please reach out to the mayor and city council to make these demands. Please email them ASAP, because the task force proposal is getting written right now. Then please join us to make these demands at the August council meeting, August 17.
Police have run local government for far too long. Let’s change that.
No Cops on a Task Force
We demand that any community task force on public safety be composed entirely of civilians, with no members of the police or public safety commission. Why?
Confidentiality. If the task force seeks to gather community testimony that may feature negative experiences with the police and harm caused by the police, including police officers in the task force is a gross breach of confidentiality and ethics and endangers community members. People who have had negative experiences with the police have every reason to be afraid of retaliation–it happens all the time, and the same people who have historically been targets of police abuse are also most vulnerable to retaliation. Excluding cops is not enough to guarantee confidentiality or safety, but it is a necessary first step. Note also that in other communities task force members themselves have been targets of documented police retaliation.
Independence. The initial move to audit the police department came from a need for an independent investigation into misconduct and discrimination which cannot successfully be carried out by anyone in the department.
Trust. Community members will need to have trust in the task force before even considering sharing negative experiences.
Oversight. The task force is being created out of a recognized need for better civilian oversight of the police. It makes no sense, and it is a complete conflict of interest, for police to literally oversee their own department.
Unnecessary. The police will be deeply involved in shaping the task force’s recommendations, regardless of whether they are represented directly among voting members of the task force.
Experience. Task forces in other towns and cities have routinely excluded police for all the reasons listed above and still created meaningful ways for police to participate in the process. Additionally, over-policed communities, especially people of color organizing to change policing and prisons, have very clearly demanded that police be excluded from such task forces.
Cost vs. benefits. There are simple ways to make sure that police can meaningfully participate and be represented in the task force proceedings without including them as members in the task force (see alternative proposal below). However, the potential costs of including police in the task force are grave, as noted above. Why risk harm and undermine trust when there are better, safer options of ways to include police ready at hand?
Alternative proposals:
Create an official advisory board to the task force. This will help the task force have ready access to specialist knowledge, experience, and data, while reducing the total number of members (which offers other practical benefits to the process, too). The advisory board should be non-voting and should include all of those officials and professionals listed in Councilor Bullock’s proposal. There are good reasons for this beyond our desire to limit the undue influence of the police: it’s inappropriate to place employees of social service agencies in voting roles as part of their professional duties because it is a conflict of interest–these agencies could potentially acquire contracts to provide services that the task force recommends, and all agencies have pre-existing relationships with the police which they have to maintain.
Instruct the police department and fire department to each appoint a liaison to the advisory board (to be confirmed by majority of the task force or by city council), for the purpose of providing information, facilitating communication, and representing the position of the departments and experiences of their members. This should be a non-voting position, and the task force should be able to conduct its business independently of the police.

7/20: Council discusses police audit
It’s that time again–Greenfield city council meets this Wednesday, July 20, at 6:30pm, in person at Jon Zon and online over Zoom. Agenda here, zoom link here.
On the docket is the mayor’s request for $175k for an audit of the Greenfield Police Department. UPDATE 7/19: Ways & Means voted to table the mayor’s audit proposal until August. (Albany spent $78k on their audit, so $175k is probably more than the council will approve.) Councilor Bullock proposes to modify the mayor’s proposal, instead creating a volunteer, civilian task force to conduct a review of public safety in Greenfield, with a professional consultant working under the supervision of the community task force rather than the mayor. This item will be the subject of public hearing.
Because the audit has been tabled until August, we can use public comment this Wednesday to voice our concerns and hopefully influence whatever final proposal Councilor Bullock brings forward.
Public Safety Task Forces
There have been many public safety task forces, especially since the uprisings following the murder of George Floyd. We highly recommend reading the report from Interrupting Criminalization on Navigating Public Safety Task Forces. Long story short: it’s very hard to get real transformative solutions out of this kind of process, and they can have unexpected outcomes and risks of police retaliation against community members who take part. This is especially true when police and their political allies are able to commandeer or obstruct the process.
Abolitionist organizers who have navigated these task forces in the past recommend skipping straight to transformative solutions that you already know you want–such as community-based, non-police programs that build real safety–rather than getting bogged down in a long, messy process. From our discussions, though, we’re not sure folks in Greenfield are ready to support those types of changes without a sustained public conversation, and maybe a task force can provide a venue for that. Maybe we can steer this process to convince more of the public by highlighting the failures of policing and focusing on proven solutions, such as harm reduction. How do we do that? Well…
Please consider volunteering for the task force.
There’s a good chance a task force like Councilor Bullock’s proposal will be approved. If a task force is going to succeed, it’s going to need good people steering it. In Councilor Bullock’s proposal, there will be positions for one person from each precinct plus positions reserved for people with lived experience with the criminal legal system, plus a range of people in specific professions. Please reach out if you’d like us to keep you in the loop about volunteering, and reach out to friends and neighbors who you think are good candidates.
OUR DEMANDS FOR A TASK FORCE
If we’re going to have a public safety task force, here are a few things that would make it more likely to succeed:
The task force has to consider not just what the police do, but what they shouldn’t do, and who else could do a better job meeting community needs. The task force has to be about more than just police procedures and policies–it has to be about acknowledging our needs and building our community capacity to meet those needs. (That’s why the mayor’s audit is not enough to address the community’s concerns.)
No cops and no public safety commission members on the task force. If the task force does any community listening sessions, we must make every effort to protect people from retaliation. That is not possible if the police are involved.
Task force members should be appointed by City Council, not the Mayor.
Appointed members should have a demonstrated interest in studying evidence and making evidence-based recommendations. Unfortunately, most policies around public safety ignore all evidence and are justified only with fear-mongering and propaganda.
Offer stipends to task force members. If we want a more diverse task force, we have to address barriers to participation–and that means offering to defray expenses like childcare during meetings.
The task force should have subpoena power to get the information they need, and they should investigate and document all institutional obstacles | 1,024 | 1 |
food (on Motorhead’s rider); it was always two bottles of Jack Daniels, two bottles of vodka, a couple of cases of beer. And that was them; that’s the way they were. And they didn’t pull any punches; people knew how they lived. And they really did live that lifestyle.”
Iommi knew Lemmy from back in his Hawkwind days, later becoming good friends from touring together so often when Lemmy fronted Motorhead. “In all the different incarnations of Sabbath — from the Ozzy [Osbourne] period, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan — it was always Motorhead with us,” Iommi remembers fondly. “Which was great. I mean, they were really a fun bunch and a really nice gang of… really nice band, you know.”
Though it was extremely sudden, Lemmy’s death came from cancer, which Tony Iommi has been fighting since 2012. “Every time one of my friends go, and it’s that. It’s, ‘Oh, God!’ You don’t know how far away you are from it. But you just plod on. And I’m still here.

HP Chromebook 14 with touchscreen: $299 $119 at Best Buy
(roughly £90)
The saving is greater than the actual cost of the laptop with the HP Chromebook 14 at Best Buy. Considering you're getting 4GB of RAM, an Intel Celeron processor and 32GB of internal storage, this could be a great choice if you're looking for a portable machine.
The most amazing Chromebook deal on Prime Day isn't actually available at Amazon, but comes from BestBuy instead.
The HP 14-CA061DX is a surprisingly solid device given it's available for just under $120, down from $299 (a whopping 60% discount). In terms of value for money, there’s no other device running ChromeOS that even comes close.
It features a dual-core Intel Celeron N3350 processor, a 14-inch HD+ touchscreen display, 4GB system memory, 32GB eMMC onboard storage and a 2-cell battery that can power the device for nearly 11 hours (or so HP claims).

And that was them; that’s the way they were. And they didn’t pull any punches; people knew how they lived. And they really did live that lifestyle.”
Iommi knew Lemmy from back in his Hawkwind days, later becoming good friends from touring together so often when Lemmy fronted Motorhead. “In all the different incarnations of Sabbath — from the Ozzy [Osbourne] period, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan — it was always Motorhead with us,” Iommi remembers fondly. “Which was great. I mean, they were really a fun bunch and a really nice gang of… really nice band, you know.”
Though it was extremely sudden, Lemmy’s death came from cancer, which Tony Iommi has been fighting since 2012. “Every time one of my friends go, and it’s that. It’s, ‘Oh, God!’ You don’t know how far away you are from it. But you just plod on. And I’m still here.

How Did the Septuagint Bible Translation Change the World?
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SEPTUAGINT
Hands down, the Greek Septuagint version is the most important of the early versions of the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures. In fact, it is the first translation. The Greek Septuagint is abbreviated with the Roman numeral LXX (meaning, “Seventy”). The translation from Hebrew into Greek began about 280 B.C.E.* According to tradition (more on this below), there were 72 Jewish scholars of Alexandria, Egypt who did the translation work. However, sometime later the number was rounded to 70 and somehow this was the number that came to be accepted, and consequently, the version came to be called the Septuagint (LXX). It was completed about 150 B.C.E. The Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures became the favored Old Testament among the Greek-speaking Jews and was used widely down to the time of Jesus and the New Testament authors. In the twenty-seven books of the Greek New Testament, most of the 320 direct quotations and the combined total of possibly 890 quotations and references to the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures are based on the Septuagint. After the Christian adopted the Greek Septuagint and used it in their defense that Jesus Christ was the long-awaited Messiah, the Jews in the second century C.E. went back to the Hebrew Old Testament.
* B.C.E. means “before the Common Era,” which is more accurate than B.C. (“before Christ”). C.E. denotes “Common Era,” often called A.D., for anno Domini, meaning “in the year of our Lord.
The Septuagint continues to be very much important today and is used by textual scholars to help uncover copyists’ errors that might have crept into the Hebrew manuscripts either intentionally or unintentionally. However, it cannot do it alone without the support of other sources. While the Septuagint is the second most important tool after the original language texts for ascertaining the original words of the original Hebrew text, it is also true that the LXX translators took liberties at times, embellishing the text, deliberate changes, harmonizations, and completing of details. So, how do we explain when we have a reading in the Hebrew Masoretic Text that all translations | 1,024 | 1 |

“Recently I had the opportunity to do a listing presentation on a $4.98 million dollar home and, because of the advertising package with Homes & Land, I won the listing. Included in the advertising package was your upgraded WSJ.com package, which included the international exposure. Because the sellers are international, the international exposure resonated highly with them. A recent Wall Street Journal article described some U.S. bakeries’ and consumers’ fascination with lesser known French pastries – Caneles, Paris Brest, etc.
This got me thinking. What about well known French pastries — Napoleons, Croissants, and Éclairs? While I was hungrily eyeing up a gorgeous Almond Croissant this past weekend, it’s generally the Éclairs that capture my attention and lead me to gluttony. (I’m pleased to report that I resisted the Croissant temptation — for now.). So let’s look at Éclairs.
An Éclair is a long pastry made with pate a choux dough (a sticky dough). It is usually filled with custard or whipped cream and is then iced. While it seems complicated, pate a choux dough is supposed to be relatively easy to put together. Of course anything involving a pastry bag makes me want to run.
Are Éclairs becoming more popular?
A spokesperson for Maison Kayser, a French bakery/cafe with branches in New York City, had this to say: “The Éclair is part of the very classic French pastry. Today there is a resurgence in returning to the basics, the classics and to more simple things. The Éclair illustrates this trend.” And Maison Kayser’s most popular Éclair flavor? A very classic Chocolate.
Mandy Heathcote, Catering Director for Minneapolis-based Patisserie 46, points out that more and more European pastry shops are popping up throughout the States. So it’s not surprising that classic European pastries are becoming more popular in this country.
Of course these classics can be updated.
As Maison Kayser’s spokesperson explains “….there are trends in making these pastries lighter and less sweet overall. Today pastry chefs express more creativity as well and have improved their techniques, allowing them to work more with flavor — fresh fruits for example — and reduce the amount of sugar being used and also to produce lighter creams.” And as an example of this, Maison Kayser will debut a Blackberry/Raspberry Éclair in October.
The miniature-dessert trend has spread to Éclairs as well. The only Éclairs Toronto-based Dufflet Pastries offers are part of a bite-size collection of Petit Fours.

In April and June 2018, the top Mexican immigration officials in two of the six Mexican states bordering the United States independently informed Amnesty International that US authorities had encouraged them to detain and check the legal status of asylum-seekers whom the US was forcing to wait in Mexico, with a potential view to their deportation.
If true, this would constitute a gross violation of international refugee law.
On 6 September 2018, Amnesty International provided CBP with an opportunity to respond to those allegations; CBP has not yet responded, other than with a confirmation of receipt.

40 percent of them were forcibly deported to their countries of origin by INM, despite explicitly requesting asylum in Mexico or expressing fear for their lives in their home countries.

It’s difficult for a small charity to stand out among the bland corporate identities that dominate the sector, but St George’s Crypt has made a real impact with its latest annual report. Adrian Shaughnessy applauds its direct and honest approach

There is a widely held view that no printed item could ever scoop top prize in one of the major design competitions. Best-in-show awards and D&AD Black Pencils tend to go to the latest product from Apple or some other techno wizardry from the digital realm. Hardly surprising, I suppose. After all, print is dead, isn’t it?
Well, not quite. Awards-watchers will have noted that the printed literature produced by a small faith-based charity in Leeds – St George’s Crypt – regularly appears in lists of award-winners. And this year it’s done the unthinkable and won Best in Show at the Design Week 2010 Awards with a striking printed document called Annual Report and Six Accounts.
Looking at St George’s Crypt’s publications, it’s easy to see why its material snags the attention of design juries. There’s something elemental and daringly honest about everything it publishes. And remarkably, it is doing it at a time when many charities are turning themselves into McCharities and adopting the bland, smooth-edged strategies of high street commerce.
The smooth approach holds little appeal for the crypt’s fundraising and public relations director, Martin Patterson. ’We want to inform the reader about the real issues which affect our service-users in their lives,’ he says, ’and we want to ensure that this message gets across, sometimes in unexpected ways.’
To achieve his objectives, Patterson works with designer Lee Bradley of Leeds-based B&W Studio. ’We respect each other’s viewpoints,’ he says, ’and we recognise that our skills truly complement each other.’
The fruits of their relationship can be seen in the charity’s annual report. Life-sized portraits of half-a-dozen people helped by the charity, each shot in merciless close up, hit you with the force of the wind that sweeps off the Yorkshire moors. The text is matter-of-fact and unapologetic.

As foreman of the Design Week Awards graphics jury, it was my job to present this document to the combined jur | ies for consideration for Best in Show. Its impact was immediate – it commanded respect, and it got it.
I asked Patterson why he had chosen unswerving realism for his annual report, rather than the feel-good imagery and the tropes of consumer advertising adopted by so many other charities. ’The work of the crypt is becoming ever more complex and challenging,’ he says. ’We wanted to identify a key part of that challenge.
Alcohol-dependency is such a major part of the issues confronting so many of our service-users that it seemed an obvious theme. We wanted to showcase six case studies – and it was important to present a selection of “outcomes” in the cases presented. This is important as there is, sadly, no monopoly on success in this field.’
In fact, one of the six subjects died shortly after his story was written. It’s an affecting tale that few readers will fail to recognise as a hellish path down which any of us might stumble given the right (or, should I say, wrong) circumstances.
Of course, charities do not exist to provide graphic designers with opportunities to do award-winning work. We give them our money to enable them to help others, and we don’t want it spent on lavish brochures or slick direct-mail campaigns. Patterson is aware of the need to avoid excess.
’We are determined that the balance between well-produced material and the need to develop this material cost-effectively is maintained,’ Patterson says. ’Our designer and photographer only charge for materials and expenses; and printing and paper costs are scrutinised carefully to achieve best value. All documents are produced in a simple way, with no lavish finishes or binding techniques.’
We should be glad that charities like St George’s Crypt exist. First, because it helps people who desperately need help, but also because it communicates its activities – and its need for funds – with the honesty that makes giving to charity feel like a privilege, rather than just another bit of consumerist behaviour.

Canteen: A recipe for fine design RCMP had weapons drawn in the area of Rosehill Street on Sunday afternoon as they made an arrest in a “high-risk police incident.” (Photo submitted)
UPDATE: Man charged with threats, pointing weapon after ‘high-risk’ incident in Nanaimo
Male suspect arrested Sunday afternoon in Townsite Road area
Greg Sakaki
Nanaimo RCMP had weapons drawn around Rosehill Street and Millstone Avenue on Sunday afternoon and made an arrest.
The incident unfolded at about 1:30 p.m., according to police, when officers responded to an apartment building in the 600 block of Rosehill Street for a report of a man in possession of a firearm and threatening individuals in one of the units.
“It was a high-risk police incident, it was involving a weapon, it was resolved without incident,” said Sgt. Sarah Mattes of the Nanaimo RCMP.
She said a male suspect was arrested and there were no injuries in the incident. She confirmed that people were being asked to stay clear of the area during the situation.
“Due to the possibility of a weapon, or the information that we had received about a weapon, we asked them to remain away from the scene,” Mattes said.
Because firearms might be present and “the potential for hostages,” the Vancouver Island RCMP Emergency Response Team was called in and, as a precaution, several nearby apartment units were evacuated too.
Shortly after the ERT arrived, two adult males walked out of the apartment. While the door to the unit was open, ERT made contact with the 29-year-old man and took him into custody without incident.
Police found and seized a black Airsoft pistol in the apartment.
Two children, ages 7 and 3, were found unharmed. Investigators will follow up with the Ministry of Children and Family Development regarding the children.
The suspect was taken to Nanaimo RCMP detachment where he was later released on a promise to appear in provincial court in Nanaimo on Feb. 5 to face charges of uttering threats and pointing a firearm.

About Bart Demandt
Bart is a 36-year old Dutchman who's always had a thing for cars, the automotive industry and statistics. He’s combined these passions by writing about them on CarSalesBase.com. His daily driver is an Alfa Romeo GT 3.2 V6 which he just can't seem to say goodbye to thanks to the mesmerizing exhaust note, despite approaching 300.000km which probably makes this the most experienced GT 3.2 in the world.

Heriot’s Rugby Club was founded in 1890, and within two decades, was able to compete with all the leading teams in the Scottish game. Confirmation of the steady rise to the upper echelons came in 1919-20 when Heriot’s won the first of several unofficial club championships, under the league system conducted by newspapers in the decades before the SRU championship was launched in 1973-74. So successful | was the club in the 1920’s that up to 10,000 spectators were attracted to matches against other leading teams, and the club fielded up to eight XV’s each Saturday.
Heriot’s, known to play fast, open rugby, won the SRU club championship in 1978-79, and back to back in 1998/99 and 1999/2000. In 2014/15 the club won both the Premiership title and the Charity Shield and got to the semi-final of the Cup – making it one of its most successful seasons yet. The club also welcomed the legendary Barbarians to Goldenacre, which allowed the team to play against a whole host of world class players.
The school and the rugby, hockey and cricket clubs share fine grounds at Goldenacre, but the facilities are no longer confined to members who were educated at the school, and in the professional era the club benefits by recruiting players who have developed their rugby skills elsewhere. Heriot’s are noted exponents of the seven-a-side game, having won all the major Scottish tournaments, and were the first club from north of the Border to claim victory in the Twickenham Sevens in 1949. The under-21 sevens which used to be held at Goldenacre each spring attracted up to 32 teams. Since 1922 the club has provided a steady flow of international players for Scotland, plus two for England. Notable contributors to the Scottish cause included eight international full-backs and three brothers – Iain, David and Kenny Milne – who were all capped in the front row. Heriot players have also been chosen for the British Lions & Irish Lions, Barbarians and host of other representative matches and tours.
The motto of George Heriot enjoined all within the Heriot community to “distribute cheerfullie”. Heriot’s Rugby Club is intent on distributing sincere friendship and promoting excellent standards of play at Goldenacre in an era when the game is changing, but when the harmonious spirit essential to the well-being of rugby union must continue to be fostered.

MIC MISSIONARY technique. They market their religion to xtians on the basis that they do not reject the 'prophecy' of yashka. (Even though in reality, of course they do not hold of the theology that xtians do). Perhaps THAT (the "x-mas party") is why there are so many new converts in that Morrocon Muslim woman's mosque.
Isn't it funny how every Muslim claims that there are so many new converts in his local mosque. And yet you ignore their very aggressive missionary activity and only have blame for the xtians because afterall, "some of your best friends are Muslims..."

The bottom line here appears quite obvious to me: That Rabbi Eidensohn should stick to Torah and Judaism because he is woefully ignorant of Islam, and despite knowing personally a few Muslims, what Muslims truly believe. With all due respect, Rabbi E.

Jerseygirl,
I am appalled. I have noticed that for some time you are willing to twist the truth to prove your point, but I never thought you would take your information from anti-semites and white supremacists. If you had even read the Soncino translation of the Talmud(which was done by non-Jews and Apikorsim) you would see that even in a translation meant to do harm to the Jewish tradition, those pages don't read as you state.
On the other hand I brought to you valid sources from a translation authorized by the imams of Saudi Arabia, with their explanatory notes.
You claim that it must be explained within their own tradtion. Fine let us here what they have to say, when they think no one else is listening.

Freshwater Fish & Aquariums
By Thomas Reich
When selecting fish for a community aquarium, it is almost impossible to ignore the colorful and active Characin family of fish. There are more than 1300 species of fish in the Characin family (Characidae). Additionally, there are several hundred in four closely related families, the Anostomidae, Hemiodontidae, Citharinidae, Citharinidae, and Gasteropelecidae.
A characteristic feature of the Characins is the adipose fin, situated on the back, between the dorsal fin and the tail fin. All the fish in these five families need the same conditions in the aquarium. The fish are widely distributed in tropical Central and South America and also in tropical Africa.

s “not even a top 10 mumble rapper.” The diss didn’t go unnoticed by the rapper, though, as he dediced to hit back at Michael when he performed at a recent show.
“I love my crackers now,” Kodak told the crowd. “But y’all tell this little dumba** cracker stop playing with me man. Tell him stay out of black folks business.” He then told Rapaport to “suck a baby d**k.”

Michael is not the only one whom Kodak has been throwing shade at in the last month. He slammed Young M.A, Sticky Fingaz, Lil Wayne and the latter’s daughter Reginae Carter. The two began feuding after the 20-year-old college student recently blasted Kodak Black for seemingly wishing death upon the veteran rapper during an appearance at Miami’s LIV nightclub on March 3.
The moment was captured on camera and shared online. In the video, Kodak could be seen standing in front of a crowd as saying, “Where Lil Wayne at? …You f***ing maggot. You should’ve died when you was a baby.” Watching the video, Reginae clearly wasn’t happy about what the 21-year-old spitter said of her dad.
Taking to Instagram on the following day, she wrote her response on Instagram, “You new lil rappers need to start giving props and respect to the Goat. My father don’t bother nobody. He won’t even react to what was said. This man be in his own world so leave him tf alone. You pick the night he didn’t go to LIV to say that. You bold. Lol.”
The two had a back-and-forth on social media with Kodak calling Reginae “bald-headed daughter.” He went saying on an Instagram Live, “Don’t be coming at me, bruh, ’cause when you come at me, I’m gonna come back. Nobody said nothin’ to that little girl, bruh. First of all, nobody said nothin’ to you daddy so don’t be coming at me like that. I ain’t no shorty, I ain’t no peon.”

TRUCK DRIVER ERROR IN ST. PAUL
Government and private organizations have undertaken many studies into the causes of truck accidents. Time and again, these studies yield the same results: truck drivers' errors are the most common cause of crashes involving commercial vehicles. Critical truck driver errors may include:
Failing to make sure that trucks are loaded correctly
Failing to inspect truck equipment mechanics and loads before setting out on the road
Failing to verify that lights and reflectors are in place and functioning properly
Driving while fatigued, without enough sleep
Committing traffic violations such as speeding and illegal lane changes

Title:Be/X-ray Binaries
Authors:Janusz Ziółkowski (Copernicus Astronomical Center, Warsaw, Poland)
Abstract: A review of basic properties of Be/X-ray binaries is presented. These systems (called also hard X-ray transients), which form the most numerous class of massive X-ray binaries in the Galaxy, are composed of Be stars and neutron stars (X-ray pulsars) on wide (orbital periods 17-263 d), usually eccentric (eccentricities 0.1-0.9) orbits. The systems contain two quasi-Keplerian (ratio of radial to orbital velocity components less than 0.01) discs: decretion disc around Be star and accretion disc around neutron star. Both discs are temporary: decretion disc disperses and refills on time scales of years (dynamical evolution of the disc, formerly known as the "activity of a Be star"), while accretion disc disperses and refills on time scales of weeks to months (which is related to the orbital motion on an eccentric orbit and, on some occasions, also to the major instabilities of the other disc). Accretion disc might be absent over a longer period of time (years), if the other disc is very weak or absent. The X-ray emission of Be/X-ray binaries has distinctly transient nature and is controlled by the centrifugal gate mechanism, which, in turn, is operated both by the periastron passages (Type I bursts) and by the dynamical evolution of the decretion disc (both types of bursts). The X-ray pulsars in these systems rotate at equilibrium periods (with the possible exception of the slowest pulsars). Be/X-ray binaries are excellent laboratories for investigation of both the evolutionary processes in the two discs and of the evolution of the neutron star rotation.

ly while pulling a string or twisting a stick or pushing an auger. In the kinds with an auger, an internal weight rotates, producing an overall circular motion. Some tops can be thrown, while firmly grasping a string that had been tightly wound around the stem, and the centrifugal force generated by the unwinding motion of the string will set them spinning upon touching ground.

A top is clothing that covers at least the chest, but which usually covers most of the upper human body between the neck and the waistline. The bottom of tops can be as short as mid-torso, or as long as mid-thigh. Men's tops are generally paired with pants, and women's with pants or skirts. Common types of tops are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.
The neckline is the highest line of the top, and may be as high as a head-covering hood, or as low as the waistline or bottom hem of the top. A top may be worn loose or tight around the bust or waist, and may have sleeves or shoulder straps, spaghetti straps (noodle straps), or may be strapless. The back may be covered or bare. Tops may have straps around the waist or neck, or over the shoulders.

In mathematics, the category of topological spaces, often denoted Top, is the category whose objects are topological spaces and whose morphisms are continuous maps or some other variant; for example, objects are often assumed to be compactly generated. This is a category because the composition of two continuous maps is again continuous. The study of Top and of properties of topological spaces using the techniques of category theory is known as categorical topology.
N.B. Some authors use the name Top for the category with topological manifolds as objects and continuous maps as morphisms.
As a concrete category
Like many categories, the category Top is a concrete category (also known as a construct), meaning its objects are sets with additional structure (i.e. topologies) and its morphisms are functions preserving this structure. There is a natural forgetful functor
to the category of sets which assigns to each topological space the underlying set and to each continuous map the underlying function.

Best! is a greatest hits compilation by the 1990s pop band Jellyfish. The album was released in 2006 and featured twenty tracks. Eight of the tracks were non-album while the other twelve consisted of songs pulled from the band's two (and only) albums, Bellybutton and Spilt Milk. The song "Ignorance is Bliss" was taken from a Nintendo games compilation entitled "Nintendo: White Knuckle Scorin'" and is inspired by the video game Super Mario World. The song "No Matter What" is a live cover of a Badfinger song.
All songs written by Roger Manning and Andy Sturmer, except where noted.
"Joining a Fan Club" – 4:05
"The King is Half Undressed" – 3:48
"New Mistake" – 4:03

Artur Paulo Oliveira da Silva (born 24 December 1968 in Guimarães), known as Best, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Football career
After unsuccessfully graduating at FC Porto's youth system, Best joined neighbouring S.C. Salgueiros in 1988 at nearly 20, going on to spend the following seven seasons with the Paranhos side, five of those in the top division: his best output in the competition consisted of 12 games, in 1990–91 (eight goals conceded).
In the 1996 summer, after one unassuming top level campaign with Leça FC, Best signed for F.C. Tirsense in the second division, going on to experience three consecutive relegations with the same team. He retired from football in 2003 at nearly 35, after one-year spells with two amateur clubs.

GAMBLING COMMISSION
[ Filed March 19, 2003, 3:44 p.m. ]
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 02-07-062.
Title of Rule: Financial reporting by licensees, amending WAC 230-12-305 Licensee required to submit updated documents or information.
Purpose: This amendment will enable staff to be fully informed of all of a licensee's financing activities, therefore, staff will be able to complete a more thorough financial investigation on persons involved in the financing of a gambling operation.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: | RCW 9.46.070.
Summary: Currently, loans of $2,000 or more must be reported to the commission if they are not obtained from a federally recognized financial institution. This allows staff to source the funds to ensure the moneys are clean and persons with ties to criminal activities do not infiltrate gambling operations in Washington state. Staff has requested language be added to require contributions of cash and assets to also be reported to the commission. This proposed language enables staff to be fully informed on all of the licensee's financing activities and facilitates a more complete financial investigation on all parties involved in the financing of a gambling operation.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: See Purpose above and Explanation of Rule below.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Susan Arland, Lacey, (360) 486-3466; Implementation: Rick Day, Lacey, (360) 486-3446; and Enforcement: Bob Berg, Lacey, (360) 486-3452.
Name of Proponent: Staff, governmental.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: Currently, a licensee can receive approval from staff for a line of credit (for example, from a financier licensed as a service supplier) from which they can take draws from over a period of time. At times, these draws can occur years after the original funds were investigated and sourced. During this time, the "original" moneys that were sourced are gone and other moneys are held in the account, which may be drawn on by the licensee. By requiring draws to be reported, staff can track the moneys and if necessary, source new funds that have replaced the funds which were originally sourced.
$2,000 is a very low threshold and does not appear to be a material amount to even our smallest licensees. Therefore, it is proposed that the loan/contribution amount be increased from $2,000 to $10,000.
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: See Purpose, Summary, and Explanation of Rule above.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Proposal is exempt under RCW 19.85.025(2); therefore, an SBEIS is not required.
RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to this rule adoption. This agency does not choose to make section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, apply to this rule adoption.
Hearing Location: Red Lion Hotel, 1225 North Wenatchee Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801, (509) 663-0711, on May 9, 2003, at 9:30 a.m.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Shirley Corbett by May 1, 2003, TDD (360) 486-3637 or (360) 486-3447.

it difficult to make a living in other ways.
By the time of Johann Adam Uelmen’s marriage chain migration from this area had already begun. As family and friends moved away they sent back letters and information encouraging other to come and join them.
In July of 1844, five years after Johann Adam’s marriage, his older brother, Mathias emigrated to to Wisconsin. In 1851 Margaretha ‘s brother went followed by another brother of Johann’s in 1852. Before long they they were followed by two more sisters. By1857, the year Johann Adam and his wife left, the couple had 5 siblings living in WI. With little hope for their children’s future is it any wonder they chose to join their family and friends in WI?
Johann Adam’s family, including my great-grandfather Peter- age 5, arrived in N.Y. on July 2, 1857 aboard the ship “Yorktown” from London. Their voyage would have been similar to the one the Meyer family took. Once in New York they would would have started west by way of the Albany and Buffalo Canals. Then by boat through the great Lakes to somewhere near Milwaukee or Sheboygan. Perhaps they were met by family, perhaps not. Either way, they then made their way by foot or wagon to St. Michael’s, WA county, WI.
Joanne Adam was said to have brought grape plants for making wine with him. The climate of WI did not suit them and they died. Johann Adam too, died less than 3 years later in April of 1860. He is supposedly buried in the cemetery of St. Michaels’ catholic church. No grave stone now remains. A flood in the early 1920’s may have destroyed it.
Why did so many people of the Vulkaneifel region area of Germany choose to come come to WI instead of elsewhere? I can’t say for sure but I do know the state of WI took an active role in encouraging immigrants to choose their state. Those coming from the Vulkanefiel region mostly settled in area of Fond Du Lac County, WI or Lorraine, Ohio. In some cases entire villages disbanded and went to America. By the time this chain migration ended over half the population of the area had left. Only Ireland’s mass emigration during the potato famine was larger.
My next posting will be one of the sort of letters that likely influenced the Uelmen family to abandon a homeland they’d loved for generations for a new place called America.

I would love to communicate with you. Where could I send the information, too? It would be wonderful to have some photos of the area and more of it’s history. Especially what were the conditions like in the 1840- 1860 that compelled so many families to leave. What would their life there been like? What records,if any, would be available besides the church records which I have?
And I wonder if any extended family still live in the area.

Undoubtedly, the most beautiful things in Vladivostok are the surrounding countryside with its volcanic hills, its stunning bridges and the romantic views of lighthouses. But tourists will be pleasantly surprised to find that quite a lot of the city’s buildings are also very beautiful and stylistically varied.

1. | Vladivostok railway station
Many people dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway. And those who go the whole way will be greeted at the end of the line by this modernist building. The railway station acquired its present look in 1910-1912, when it was rebuilt in the Russian Revival style to the design of architect Vladimir Planson with the intention of giving it a similar architectural appearance to the Yaroslavsky Railway Station building in Moscow, from where Trans-Siberian Railway journeys begin.
Aleutskaya Street , 2
2. The Post Office
Alexxx1979 (CC BY-SA 4.0)
Postal links were one of the biggest problems facing this city towards the end of the Russian Empire, so organizing the postal and telegraphic services was regarded as a priority by the city authorities in tsarist times. The Post Office building is another example of the Russian Revival style in the center of the city. It was built in the 1890s from a design by Russian-Polish architect Alexander Gvozdiovsky. The building still houses Russian Post, the national postal operator.
Svetlanskaya Street, 41
3. The Kunst and Albers Trading Company department store
Lisichka (CC BY-SA 3.0)
Vladivostok was founded in 1860, and urban development was at its height here by the 1880s. The German merchants who founded the Kunst and Albers trading company came to do business in the brand new city and straight away opened their flagship store there - although, initially, it only had one storey and was built of wood. Later, they expanded to have several department stores and branches across the Far East. In the 1900s, a young German architect by the name of Hugo Junghändel designed a large building in the Art Nouveau style for them on one of the city’s main streets - Svetlanskaya. Today, the building still houses a department store.
4. The Apartment Building of the Society for the Study of the Amur Region
Lyubov Samoenko (CC BY-SA 3.0)
Another building in the Art Nouveau style on Svetlanskaya Street was built in 1912-1914 for the Society for the Study of the Amur Region. The building was “income-generating” - i.e. it was a block of apartments for rent. At one time, it had a cabaret restaurant in the basement. During the Soviet period, the building was converted partly into a cinema and partly into a laboratory for a local scientific-research institute. And later, it was handed to the Far East Branch of the Academy of Sciences, which is still housed in the building today.
5. Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Paul
This Protestant church is regarded as the city’s oldest surviving religious building. Incidentally, it was also designed by German architect Hugo Junghändel, who got his inspiration from the northern Gothic style. And the Kunst and Albers Trading Company made a significant financial contribution to the project. In the 1990s, the church was given back to the newly-revived Lutheran community.
Pushkinskaya Street, 14
6. The Brynner House
AlexNIKKOR (CC BY-SA 4.0)
Hugo Junghändel, who had by 1913 become fully Russified, left the city another example of the romantic Art Nouveau style. This mansion was commissioned by silk merchant Jules Brynner (originally Briner), a Lutheran who had been granted Russian citizenship and had bought land in Vladivostok. Incidentally, he was the grandfather of famous Hollywood actor Yul Brynner, who was born in the house (a monument to him stands in front of the building).
Aleutskaya Street, 15B
7. Catholic Church of the Most Holy Mother of God
Helgi-S (CC BY-SA 3.0)
For a long time, this Neo-Gothic church was the largest Catholic church in the Far East. It was designed by Alexander Gvozdiovsky, the same architect who built the central post office. Its parishioners were mostly Polish immigrants. During the Soviet period, the church was closed down and handed over to the State Archive, but in the 1990s, it was restored, and Polish Catholics even donated money to pay for the casting of | 1,024 | 1 |

If someone were taken blindfolded from one contemporary art collection to another and then another, it’s very possible he would think he was still in the same place. Collectors have developed the tendency to buy the same art as their peers, and to use the same architects for their exhibition spaces. I don’t mean the same artists, but literally the same works of art produced in editions of three, four, five, or six, with a variable number of artists’ proofs. Some video artists have even come up with a genial concept called the linear version, meaning that a piece that is originally presented in a series of multiple, often complicated projections can be magically transferred into a single DVD to be viewed at home on a basic flat-screen. Uniformity seems to be the key to collecting today.
That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived in Reggio Emilia, a town in one of the most prosperous areas in northern Italy, and discovered a hidden treasure: the Maramotti collection. It is housed in a 1957 industrial building that had served as a MaxMara factory and was converted in 2003 to host the art trove of Achille Maramotti, the company’s founder.
Strong collections express two things: first, the vision of the collector, and, second, their role as witnesses to a specific time in history. This mini museum meets these two criteria—which is not to say that all the art in it is good or that all the choices are the best. But seeing the selection was especially compelling for me, since many of the pieces are from the Seventies and Eighties—the time when, as a young artist, I landed in New York, while Italian compatriots like Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, | ].

That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived in Reggio Emilia, a town in one of the most prosperous areas in northern Italy, and discovered a hidden treasure: the Maramotti collection. It is housed in a 1957 industrial building that had served as a MaxMara factory and was converted in 2003 to host the art trove of Achille Maramotti, the company’s founder.
Strong collections express two things: first, the vision of the collector, and, second, their role as witnesses to a specific time in history. This mini museum meets these two criteria—which is not to say that all the art in it is good or that all the choices are the best. But seeing the selection was especially compelling for me, since many of the pieces are from the Seventies and Eighties—the time when, as a young artist, I landed in New York, while Italian compatriots like Francesco Clemente, Enzo Cucchi, | and Sandro Chia (the famous three C’s of the art world) were at their peak. I felt like I was going back to an era when patrons used their gut feelings and their hearts rather than their brains to choose art.
A successful collection also allows the viewer to understand which artists were truly relevant during a particular time. In Maramotti’s case you can clearly trace what his impulses were, starting with the conventional acquisitions from the Fifties and Sixties—Burri to the Arte Povera—then moving into the feverish Seventies and Eighties. If current artists tend to create the same work over and over, in the Eighties artistic output was insanely varied. I remember the irresistible wave of paintings invading New York and Europe as if there were no tomorrow; but tomorrow did arrive—quite regularly, in fact—and ruthlessly wiped out many of the artists who at the time we thought would be around forever.
Acquiring art is not always a pleasant business; it is impossible to have successes without enduring failures. The Maramotti collection shows, without shame, both the works that have stood the test of time and those that haven’t. It expresses the human fallibility of a true enthusiast: his love affairs with some artists, his fidelity to others, and his painful retreat from many whose work did not develop as imagined. Maramotti seems to have taken pride in defending internationally obscure figures like local hero Claudio Parmiggiani, whose 1989 Caspar David Friedrich installation of a suspended black boat ferrying three black painted canvases across an imaginary river is given one of the most spectacular rooms.
Helped by Mario Diacono, an Italian dealer based in Boston who looked like a Beat poet, Maramotti followed the most interesting artists of the Eighties into the Nineties and even the beginning of the new century. But then collecting underwent a radical shift. In the Eighties art followed money; in the new millennium, money started chasing art. A man like Maramotti, who was very much aware that money isn’t in unlimited supply, did not find himself at ease in this new atmosphere. In the years prior to his death in 2005, he rejected the acquisitive frenzy of the new art scene and its exorbitant price tags. Those distinctive “whooping” sounds heard throughout the Zoo? The calls of white-handed gibbons.
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Nikko, who came to us from Oakland Zoo to become part of the Santa Barbara Zoo’s gibbon family. Read press release for the full story.
Gibbons are endangered according to the IUCN. Though they are nationally protected in Asian tropical rainforests throughout the countries in their range, inadequate management and lack of protection from poachers are the main threats to their survival. Seattle-based photographer and food enthusiast Brittany Wright focuses on displaying the vibrant shades of fruits and vegetables during the ageing process. She is taken with displaying the variety and colours each specific food takes during ripening and decay, even featuring fruits from her own backyard.
She has a long client list including famous brands and farms.
You can see Wright’s imagery on her Instagram. Given the influence of Information Technology on businesses in the tech-savvy century that we live in today, it cannot be denied that the use of right system software can either make or break the company. If you want your company to not just survive the technology wave, but thrive and grow, it is time to pay a little more attention to the software that your business is using.
The software that will profit your business the most and ensure smooth business operations depends on a number of factors like your business model, requirements, scale, budget, etc. Broadly speaking, there are two options available– Third Party Tools and In-Built Solutions. We, at Cogoport,provide the best ocean shipping solutions including Third party Tools and In-Built Solutions.
Let’s understand briefly what each of these entail.
Also known as Off-the-shelf solutions, these refer to the software that is created by a company to be used on an existing program on a particular system developed by another company.
Let’s understand this with an example of a restaurant business- A regular restaurant would require a software that would allow it to keep track of its grocery purchases, orders received and served, etc. | 1,024 | 1 |

Preparing Various Type of Road Works, (Highways & Internal) Profiles, Shop & As- Built drawings. Give Tom a call or send an email and he will contact you to arrange a convenient date and time to meet.
At this meeting Tom will talk you through the Landscape Design Process and discuss your needs, thoughts, and intended uses for the garden and/or landscape. Since the new landscape is an investment it is worthwhile to establish a budget, if possible, for the project. There are landscaping budget options that can be discussed at this time. Tom will take a Landscaping Design Brief from you including likes and dislikes of plant material, colors, hardscape types, and other outdoor elements (patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, stone walls, etc.). After the first meeting Tom will send a written summary of your Design Project and the Landscaping Design fee. Upon your acceptance of the Design Project in writing we will proceed to the next stage.
Tom will prepare a detailed site analysis of your property including location of boundaries, utilities, plant material, grade changes, and other existing elements. Site orientation and soil samples for testing, if needed, will be noted | , along with reference photographs taken as part of your Landscape Design Process.
With the completed survey Tom will prepare a Concept Plan drawn to scale showing the garden or landscape layout, its features, and materials to be used. Also included are sketches and section drawings to help you visualize your Design Project. Tom will present the Concept Design at a time convenient to you, usually 2 to 3 weeks after the site analysis depending on the size and complexity of the project. Tom will discuss and address any concerns, modifications, preferences, and finalize the materials to be used. This meeting provides the basis for the Final Detailed Plan.
From the approved Concept Design, with any changes or modifications, a detailed and accurately scaled Final Plan will be drawn. The Landscape Plan will show all softscape and hardscape materials plus any structural elements and/or water features when indicated in the Design Project. Tom will deliver the Final Plan to you for final approval 2 to 3 weeks after the Concept Design Presentation. Again, timing is dependent upon size and complexity of the project.
The Planting Plan is an optional service that provides a layout of the planting areas and plant types consistent with the vision of the approved design. A detailed and accurate plan will be drawn indicating the exact locations, sizes, and quanities of all plant material. The Planting Plan is a separate quote considering style and impact as well as soil types, site aspect and orientation.
Detailed construction drawings are prepared for all hardscape elements (ie; steps, walls, paths, patios) as well as pergolas, ponds, or fountains. If necessary, dimension and secton elevation drawings are also prepared. Inria - Betrayed by Your Ads! Reconstructing User Pro les From Targeted Ads.
Betrayed by Your Ads! Reconstructing User Pro les From Targeted Ads.
Abstract : In targeted (or behavioral) advertising, users' behaviors are tracked over time in order to customize served ads to their interests. This creates serious privacy concerns since for the purpose of pro ling, private information is collected and centralized by a limited number of companies. Despite claims that this information is secure, there is a potential for this information to be leaked through the customized services these companies are offering. In this paper, we show that targeted ads expose users' private data not only to ad providers but also to any entity that has access to users' ads. We propose a methodology to lter targeted ads and infer users' interests from them. We show that an adversary that has access to only a small number of websites containing Google ads can infer users' interests with an accuracy of more than 79% (Precision) and reconstruct as much as 58% of a Google Ads pro file in general (Recall). This paper is, to our knowledge, the first work that identi es and quantifies information leakage through ads served in targeted advertising. On The Fringe can be found at Unit 7 128 Woodville Road .

The World is Heating Up: Global warming itself could genuinely be approaching the point of no return – with visibly rising temperatures, melting ice, and altered climates. The ability to plan for the future has dropped from decades to mere years. Time for consideration of the necessary changes in humanity’s behaviour is becoming short.
Investors Know the World is Heating Up: Until now, humans have been willing to trade 'ecology' for 'economy'. Asset owners and fund managers are now embracing a meaningful, large-scale change in the way they view carbon (or pollution) emitting investments. The shift of capital away from carbon emitters will increase those companies’ cost of capital, and hasten those industries’ relative decline. 'Stranded assets', a phrase first coined only a few years ago, has quickly become a real factor in company analyses. Further, the technology revolution is delivering large-scale investment opportunities in a more green economy (e.g. alternative energy production and storage).
This is not an argument against jobs, but rather an argument in favour of a different set of jobs and growth drivers: It takes construction to build alternative energy sources, and employees to maintain and | 1,024 | 1 |

The Distaff Winners
The Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff brings together the best female dirt horses for a championship showdown at 1 1/8 miles on the main track.
Known as the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic between 2008 and 2012, the Distaff was formerly the final race on the first day of the two-day event, but now resides as the penultimate race for Saturday.
The 1 1/8 mile race in 2013 saw Beholder run the fastest time for the Breeders’ Cup event since 2000, when Beholder cruised home in 1:47.77. But the fastest time in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff history is 1:46.15 by Inside Information in 1995, who also did so by the largest margin in the races history (13 ½ lengths). Jockey Mike Smith rode her to victory, and he’s ridden a record five Distaff winners. Trainer Bill Mott has also won the race a record five times.
Bayakoa (1989, 1990), Royal Delta (2011, 2012) and Beholder (2013, 2016) have won the Distaff twice.
Zenyatta won the 2008 Ladies’ Classic. She returned in 2009 and won the Breeders’ Cup Classic against males. She is the only female racer to ever complete that historic double. Zenyatta finished a close second to winner Blame in the 2010 BC Classic in the only loss of her career.
A total of 14 post time favorites have won the Distaff, but the biggest long shot to prevail was Spain (2000), when she cashed in at Churchill Downs at 55-1 odds for jockey Mike Smith and trainer D. Wayne Lukas. Other big long shots to win the Distaff include One Dreamer (47-1) in 1994, and Adoration (40-1) in 2003.
Two of the most memorable Distaff races in Breeders’ Cup history occurred in 1988 and 2016.
The 1988 Distaff featured Personal Ensign, who in the final racer of her career and looking hopelessly beaten a few strides from the wire, caught Winning Colors to notch her 13th straight win.
The 2016 Distaff was a showcase of the undefeated Songbird and the great older mare Beholder. In a sensational stretch duel in which the two superstars went head-to-head and kept on determinedly, Beholder got the bob at the wire to win by a nose in what was also the final race of her career with more that $6 million in earnings and a winner 18 times in 26 starts with 6 runner up finishes.
The 1990 Breeders’ Cup at Belmont Park was one of the saddest days in the event’s history. Go for Wand, the brilliant filly and champion, broke down in the stretch during the running of the Distaff and had to be euthanized.
The History of the Breeders' Cup Distaff
The Breeders’ Cup Distaff was first run in 1984 during the inaugural run of the world championships. It is a 1 1/8th mile race on dirt designed for fillies and mares ages three-years-old and up. While it has a purse of $2,000,000 it is also one of the marquee events of the entire weekend.
The race draws such heavy interest that it has been the final event for the first day of action since 2008. Jockey Mike Smith and trainer Bill Mott have each won the event five times
Inside Information won the 1995 Breeders’ Cup Distaff at the age of four in a time of 1:46.15 to set the current speed record. She is one of many Hall of Fame | include the Odgen Phipps Stakes, Fleur de Lis Handicap, Clement L. Hirsch Handicap, Zenyatta Stakes and Spinster Stakes, which all take part in the Uinted States.

Three horses have won the Breeders’ Cup Distaff twice. Bayokoa was the first to do so in 1989 and 1990. Royal Delta repeated the feat in 2011 and 2012. Beholder was the third and most recent competitor to do this having first won in decisive fashion in 2013. She then ran against Songbird in 2016 in one of the most exhilarating races ever and edged her rival in a photo finish.
Other notable winners of the Breeders’ Cup Distaff include Personal Ensign in 1988, Azeri in 2002, Ashado in 2004, Zenyatta in 2008 and Untapable in 2014. All of them are Hall of Fame winners.
From 1984 through 1986, the Breeders’ Cup Distaff was held over 1 ¼ miles. Hall of Famers Princess Rooney scored victory in 1984 while Lady’s Secret won in 1986. Life’s Magic was the winner in 1985 and was also the Eclipse Award winner for Champion Older Female Horse that same season.
In other words, winning the Breeders’ Cup Distaff thrusts you into an upper echelon of talent. It is largely considered the most prestigious race for a filly or mare to win in the entire sport. The event was even rebranded as the “Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic” from 2008 until 2012 but then reverted back to its original namesake.

First grade teacher finds life lessons to teach in pandemic Miller ‘dumbfounded’ appeal of Catholic Church’s residential school payments dropped
By Stephanie Taylor
OTTAWA – Newly named Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller says he wants to get to the bottom of why Ottawa abandoned its appeal of a ruling releasing the Catholic Church from its settlement obligations to residential school survivors.
“I am as puzzled as everyone,” he told The Canadian Press in a recent, wide-ranging interview.“
“I don’t know what there is to do yet.”
The ruling, handed down by a Saskatchewan judge in July 2015, found a deal had been struck between the federal government and a corporation of Catholic entities. That deal released the church groups from their remaining obligations within the $79-million worth of payments and in-kind services owed to survivors under the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement, approved in 2006.
That included, for example, a “best efforts” fundraising campaign to generate $25 million, for which court only heard the groups raised around $3 million since the agreement took effect in 2007.
Today, the efforts made by Catholic bodies to relieve itself of responsibilities under the historic arrangement face renewed scrutiny as First Nations searching former residential school sites | didn't follow them after The Slider as I wasn't that much into glam and preferred groups like Bowie and Roxy when I was.

That included, for example, a “best efforts” fundraising campaign to generate $25 million, for which court only heard the groups raised around $3 million since the agreement took effect in 2007.
Today, the efforts made by Catholic bodies to relieve itself of responsibilities under the historic arrangement face renewed scrutiny as First Nations searching former residential school sites | confirm the discovery of what are believed to be hundreds of unmarked graves of Indigenous children forced to attend them.
Thousands told the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada that they had been neglected, starved, and both physically and sexually abused at the church-run, government-funded institutions.
Several questions have been raised around why survivors didn’t receive more compensation from the Catholic Church, including why the federal government discontinued its appeal filed not long after the 2015 decision came down.
“I question why that refusal to appeal occurred,” Miller said.
“As everyone, I’m dumbfounded by it. End of the day the whole point was about compensation.”
At the heart of the legal ruling was a dispute between a government lawyer and counsel for the Catholic entities about whether they had agreed to let the groups walk away from all obligations outlined in the settlement in exchange for $1.2 million, or only resolved a more specific part of those obligations.
The disagreement occurred as they went back-and-forth communicating details of the arrangement. It ultimately fell to the court to resolve the issue, with Catholic entities contending they had a deal covering the entire settlement and Ottawa asserting that wasn’t true.
After the federal government lost its case, it filed a notice to appeal in August 2015. Overshadowing the matter at the time was a federal election campaign consuming the country, which ended that October with the former Conservative government falling to current Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
By November, a government lawyer submitted another document to Saskatchewan’s Appeal Court. This time, it contained a single sentence saying it was abandoning the appeal.
Miller, who was then a rookie MP from Quebec not yet invited into cabinet, said he hasn’t seen the final agreement releasing the Catholic bodies from their obligations, but wants to have a look.
“I absolutely do want to see it. I want to get to the bottom of it,” he said.
Miller enters the Crowns-Indigenous Relations office after critics and First Nations leaders called for former minister Carolyn Bennett to be dumped.
She was criticized both for a text she sent to Indigenous, then Independent MP Jody Wilson-Raybould which the former justice minister labelled as racist, as well as not doing enough to advance the department’s mandate of building a new nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous communities.
Hours after being sworn into his new role, Miller said last week that land was at the centre of that relationship, and it was time to “give land back.”
“It’s sort of unfair to have piecemeal examples of which particular parcel could be returned,” he said, outlining how his department must work alongside other federal ministries, like defence, to find ways for lands to be bought back.
“It needs to sit squarely in people’s minds that the relationship that has become broken with Indigenous Peoples did start with land, and it will be solved by returning land.”
The Liberals’ commitment to reconciliation has been tested over the past six months, not only by the discovery of unmarked graves, but also its ongoing court battle around compensating First Nations children who lived on-reserve without adequately funded child and family services or were separated from their families through foster care.

Legally Blonde, the musical, as any 13-year old girl knows, is the girl-power Broadway show that tells the tale of Elle Woods trip to Harvard Law School, initially to follow her ex-boyfriend, and ultimately to find success as a lawyer, find new love, and save the day for a former sorority sister accused of murder. I mention the 13-year old girls, because the Broadway Production was televised on MTV continuously for about three months last year, creating it’s own super-buzz and following. The tour now stops at the Fisher Theatre — and it’s good.
It’s easy to dismiss this entertaining musical — but sit in the theatre for a live presentation for a few hours and you will find yourself completely delighted by the show and its infectious energy and music.

Seen in a matinee performance filled with screaming 13-year old girls (continuing the nauseating trend started with Wicked and it’s screaming-fan audience after every song) Becky Gulsvig appears to be having the time of her life, and the energetic and talented cast exudes charisma. The screaming was there at the Palace Theatre too, by the way, when I saw the show in NYC. It’s a loud show — and not in an appropriate way: the kids talk during the show, eat candy, tear open bags of treats, and act like they are at a movie theatre. You will most likely fare better at an evening performance when the 13-year olds (and their 9 year old sisters) are at home in bed.
For those who have seen the Broadway production, there are a few minor set changes but the production is generally intact…but Jerry Mitchell’s highly energetic directing/choreography work well at the Fisher, and the show is really quite fun.
There isn’t much to think about on the way out the door, but it’s an entertaining piece of musical theatre that fares much better than a lot of movies-turned-into-musicals — and look out when this show is released for amateur production — every high school, college, and community theatre will be jumping on this one: a pop-rock score with enough roles for girls, and its guaranteed amateur theatre overkill. See it now with a professional cast and production values and it’s a show you can genuinely call charming. See it next year at your daughter’s high school and not so much.
Recommended, and better than you would think. The return of football was in sight……. and then it was gone again..
By Brian Porter | November 23, 2020
Following an Emergency Zoom Meeting and vote by the Step 3 and Step 4 teams early this week, it has been agreed that we will not return to playing football for the time being.
The following statement has been issued by the Trident Leagues (Isthmian, Northern Premier and Southern Football Leagues) , further clarification can now be given in relation to the voting following the Zoom meetings held by all 3 Trident Leagues with their Member Clubs to discuss the impact of the raising of the lockdown on 2nd December.
There were 224 Clubs voting across the 3 Leagues and of these 172 agreed with the proposition to continue the pause in fixtures, 51 disagreed and there was 1 abstention. Broken down by League, 57 Clubs in the Northern Premier League voted to agree with 4 disagreeing, 68 Clubs in the Southern League agreed with 14 disagreeing and in the Isthmian League it was much closer with 47 Clubs agreeing, 33 disagreeing and 1 abstention.
The “Agree” vote was therefore 76% and it has been agreed that the three Leagues will not sanction fixtures at this time.

Seen in a matinee performance filled with screaming 13-year old girls (continuing the nauseating trend started with Wicked and it’s screaming-fan audience after every song) Becky Gulsvig appears to be having the time of her life, and the energetic and talented cast exudes charisma. The screaming was there at the Palace Theatre too, by the way, when I saw the show in NYC. It’s a loud show — and not in an appropriate way: the kids talk during the show, eat candy, tear open bags of treats, and act like they are at a movie theatre. You will most likely fare better at an evening performance when the 13-year olds (and their 9 year old sisters) are at home in bed.
For those who have seen the Broadway production, there are a few minor set changes but the production is generally intact…but Jerry Mitchell’s highly energetic directing/choreography work well at the Fisher, and the show is really quite fun.
There isn’t much to think about on the way out the door, but it’s an entertaining piece of musical theatre that fares much better than a lot of movies-turned-into-musicals — and look out when this show is released for amateur production — every high school, college, and community theatre will be jumping on this one: a pop-rock score with enough roles for girls, and its guaranteed amateur theatre overkill. See it now with a professional cast and production values and it’s a show you can genuinely call charming. See it next year at your daughter’s high school and not so much.
Recommended, and better than you would think. The return of football was in sight……. and then it was gone again..
By Brian Porter | November 23, 2020
Following an Emergency Zoom Meeting and vote by the Step 3 and Step 4 teams early this week, it has been agreed that we will not return to playing football for the time being.
The following statement has been issued by the Trident Leagues (Isthmian, Northern Premier and Southern Football Leagues) , further clarification can now be given in relation to the voting following the Zoom meetings held by all 3 Trident Leagues with their Member Clubs to discuss the impact of the raising of the lockdown on 2nd December.
There were 224 Clubs voting across the 3 Leagues and of these 172 agreed with the proposition to continue the pause in fixtures, 51 disagreed and there was 1 abstention. Broken down by League, 57 Clubs in the Northern Premier League voted to agree with 4 disagreeing, 68 Clubs in the Southern League agreed with 14 disagreeing and in the Isthmian League it was much closer with 47 Clubs agreeing, 33 disagreeing and 1 abstention.
The “Agree” vote was therefore 76% and it has been agreed that the three Leagues will not sanction fixtures at this time.
It | is intended that the situation is kept under review in line with Government review on the Tier allocations and restrictions. Accordingly, the next review is set for 16 December and then 30 December. It is the hope of all the Leagues that a date in January can be set for a return to fixtures with Clubs who wish being allowed to play before that date but this will not be until there is a change in the Tiers and/or some progress in the funding of the Clubs at this level.
The Government has allocated £25m to Sport England to fund Steps 1 to 6 of the National Leagues System, of which £14m is set for Steps 3-6 but is heavily weighted in favour of loans, not grants. The FA is working tirelessly with DCMS and Sport England to have the funding presented as Grants. However, these negotiations take time, and it is not expected to have an answer or clarification of details of even the loans until mid-January.
The deep concern of all involved in the NLS is that circumstances may mean that it is not possible to conclude the current format of competition in a manner in which promotion and relegation can be achieved throughout the whole pyramid with Step 2 being brought up to 48 Clubs and Step 4 brought up to 240 Clubs.
If, therefore, no progress is made by the Government on the Tiers in either of the two December reviews, it is the intention of the Alliance Committee to circulate those concerned with a survey to gather the views of the Clubs as how best to finish the season. Options will include an alternative format competition and extending the season possibly into June 2021. However the implications of all such proposals will involve the cost of players contracts and the ability of some clubs to continue playing because of other issues of grounds and the need to prepare grass pitches for the following season.
The Leagues are mindful of the needs of all Clubs and are striving to find a solution which is fair to all.

New Academy for Town in 2021/22 Braves Edge out Tigers for Victory
By D'Vennio Warner on October 21, 2018 SPORTS
On a gloomy Autumn afternoon, the Tigers from Grambling State University (GSU) entered Lorman, Mississippi to take on the Alcorn State University Braves at Spinks-Casem lStadium. The Braves (5-2, 3-1) entered the game atop the Eastern Division of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) while the Tigers (3-3, 2-1) entered the game second in the Western Division of the SWAC.
Grambling wasted little time finding the end zone on their opening drive. GSU displayed a good ground attack as they were able to drive 75-yards for a touchdown. The drive was topped off by Grambling’s Running back Jonathan Robinson on a 3-yard rush. At the 10:19 mark of the first quarter, the Braves trailed 7-0. Alcorn then went three-and-out, as they were unable to establish anything against the Tigers’ defense. The punt from the Braves led to more points for Grambling. The Tigers marched 44-yards into Alcorn’s territory and eventually drilled a field goal. The field goal pushed the Tigers’ lead to 10-0 with eight minutes remaining in the first quarter. After another punt from Alcorn, Grambling again knocked through a field goal to add to their lead. As the three minute mark of the first quarter approached, the Braves trailed 13-0. Alcorn found a nice tempo on their third drive of the game. Good completions from Quarterback Noah Johnson to Wide receiver Charles Hughes helped set up an eventual touchdown for Alcorn. On 2nd and 10 from the Grambling 12-yard line, Running back De’Shawn Waller rushed for the Braves’ first score of the game. The game entered the second quarter with the Tigers leading 13-7.
In the second quarter, Alcorn struck first with a 26-yard field goal from Kicker Corey McCullough to decrease their deficit to 13-10. On Grambling’s ensuing drive, Alcorn’ | 1,024 | 1 |

The Duffys are also breeding from Melina Lowe and Bettina Lowe (Bettor’s Delight – Lucy Lowe).
They also have shares in Glenferrie Classic a Bettor’s Delight a daughter of New Zealand Cup winner Mainland Banner. Glenferrie Classic won four races for Burnham trainer Mark Jones. As a broodmare she has left a Rock N Roll Heaven filly which is two, and an Art Major yearling colt.

At this point Paul and Brendan haven’t put yearlings through the national sales but that could change, as they realise they can’t keep and race all the progeny from their broodmare band.
“It’s something we’re looking to do now. We were too late to enter Yorokobi’s brother by Art Major.”
Their broodmares are looked after at Macca Lodge in Northern Southland but some of the young stock is brought home to the farm.
“We’ve built a few boxes at home and Brendan does a pretty good job in looking after them. It’s also a calf shed which was the reason it was built.”
Paul and Alison have six children – four girls and two boys. Alison is a Canterbury lass and her uncle Lex Stewart raced horses.
“When he was down one day he said ‘if you don’t like someone, give them a broodmare. If you really hate them give them two.”
Alison’s Uncle Harry O’Boyle also raced the odd horse and had a share in Bellam trotter Manlam which won five races.
It was quite a hiatus, but the Duffy name is back in the pages of the ‘Regina’ breed. They’re pretty happy to be there, especially with a horse (Yorokobi) that looks decidedly talented.
Editors Note: Entered in the upcoming National Yearling Sales in Auckland and Christchurch, there are twenty nine yearlings whose pedigree goes back to the Regina (45) family. Twelve are in the Auckland sale and seventeen are in the Christchurch sale, proof that the breed is alive and well in both Islands.
Kindie Back On
The time honoured Kindergarten Stakes is back on.
It was thought the Group Three Two Year Old feature may not be run this season due to the Wyndham Harness Racing Club having only one official date assigned to it.
However, thanks to the co-operation of the Wairio Trotting Club, the Wyndham club has been given Wednesday 31st March, and will be able to run the Kindergarten on it’s home course.
“Wairio have transferred their license and we’d like to thank the committee for that. Since the change at HRNZ the process has been sped up. It’s all been rubber stamped and it’s a happening thing,” said Wyndham HRC President Russell Ferguson.
Ferguson says the meeting will be a twilight one with the Club yet to decide whether it’ll be a 2pm or 3pm start.
“It the Wednesday prior to Easter so you can have the Thursday off and have a long weekend (laughter).”
Ferguson says there’s still a bit of work to be done around the number of races and stakes levels, but the Wyndham Cup will be included in the programme.
“We’ll try and run a programme similar to what we run on Kindergarten Day. We’re looking at a decent trot and a junior driver race. The Wairio Club will be guests of ours for the day.”
Ladyship Fitting Reward For Barron
She has a number of false starts on her score card but trainer Clark Barron has never gave up hope on Washington VC mare Omaggio.
“One day we thought she’d get it right. We had her in the Ladyship at Invercargill and she ran a very good third,” he said.

“The harder the run the better and that’s what happened today. Perhaps the weather helped us a wee bit and a few of the favourites had hard runs. The slowest part of the race was the last bit and we knew she’d keep going.”
Returning winner of the Ladyship Final
Clark Barron, Omaggio, Ellie Barron and Jackie Barron
Omaggio is out of ten win mare Whanau whose wins include the 2002 Group One Nevele R Fillies Final. Whanau’s best foal has been Mabrook which won twenty races – nineteen in Australia.
“She (Omaggio) was very slow to mature. All the rest of Whanau’s progeny showed something as late two year olds or three year olds. Although Omaggio had ability we just had to wait on her.”
Barron said Whanau had to be put down during lockdown last year.
“She got a bad parrot mouth and the condition fell off her. Her last foal is a colt by Always B Miki.”
Today’s win was Omaggio’s first in ten starts.
“It’s quite a good maiden win when it’s a $12,000 race. She’ll just race through the grades now.”
Omaggio is raced by Miracle Lodge which consist of Barron and Eric Parr. Barron is credited with introducing the idea of Ladyship Finals to the province so it was fitting that a horse he trained won the fillies and mares feature today.
“He (Parr) raced gallopers and we were talking and he told me they could win a maiden race and then have a crack at a $20,000 race. That’s how I got the idea for these races. We’re not racing for that much though.”
Barron says the concept has also found favour with punters.
“These races are always the best betting races on the day.”
Barron’s daughter Ellie drove Omaggio.
Meanwhile Branxholme trainer Alister Black uncovered another quality horse when he produced first starter Keep On Dreaming to win the PGG Wrightson Mobile easily by two and a half lengths.

Playboy on the front cover
Although it’s early days, the race is on for the Southland Horse of the Year title and Pembrook Playboy continues to stake his claim for the prestigious award that will be announced at the end of the season.
With the likes of Vintage Cheddar, Watch Me Now and rising star Ragazzo Mach also in the frame, the Group Three win in the Central Otago Trotting Cup run at Winton yesterday was an important step for Pembrook Playboy in order to be in the frame for the title.

The pacing feature at the Winton track yesterday for the second time in as many years, was not held at Omakau.
Unfortunately the Ricky May incident halted the feature last year and this year the Omakau meeting was abandoned because of heavy rain.
Yesterday’s Cup wasn’t without a small dollop of drama either, as Pembrook Playboy cast a shoe and had to be reshod before the start.
Being reshod
“He handled that well. He was better out there than he is here (stables) because he can get worked up around other horses,” said trainer driver Nathan Williamson.
Once underway Pembrook Playboy showed he was in the zone early.
“The plan wasn’t to go forward. He was quite keen off the gate.”
The Robert Dunn trained pair Henry Hubert and Classie Brigade took up the early running with Henry Hubert taking the lead and Classie Brigade slotting into the trail.
“We got squeezed up early and ended up three back. I always knew we were going to get a good run behind Classie Brigade.”

be a completely different film to the one people were expecting.
Sort of. I mean it’s in the same wheelhouse, enough so that it won’t upset the punters. It’s not like we’re trying to sell a slasher flick to the rom-com crowd~ or anything like that. Maybe it’s best to think of it as a gear change rather than a genre shift?
So actually the red herring is in the marketing of the script/film. We tell people it’s a murder mystery before they read/watch and when we get to that point we can very, very quickly segue into the second part of the film. How many pages do we actually need to fill in order to make this bait and switch land?
1? 2? Certainly not 12.
And suddenly it becomes clear – my little voice is right. The sequence is problematic because it doesn’t need to be there. How much misdirection do we actually need? Just enough to be clear that one of these six people committed the murder, enough time for the audience to begin to form their suspicions and then … we’re off to the races.
I should have spotted this before. Cutting 10 of the 12 pages gives us space to intensify some of the emotions at the beginning and the end. A 105 page script becomes a 98 page script# and it’s a blast from beginning to end.
Why didn’t I spot this redundancy before? Who do I never fully believe that little voice telling me something’s wrong? I’m not nagging myself for no reason for God’s sake.
I guess I did listen to the voice, I just didn’t ask myself the right questions. Or rather, I just didn’t frame the questions in the right way.
Regardless, it’s fixed now. 98 pages of glory. Or, you know, 98 pages of a dosh garn good read.
And with that I think it’s done. It’s ready to be properly sent out into the world and then … we shall see what we shall see.
* Excluding the one I wrote for you, obviously. That one’s both my favourite and my best or I wouldn’t have taken your money.
† Maybe. I mean, it’s not bad. I quite like it. A bit.
^ Time travel. Tenses are tricky.
~ I suspect you can shoehorn a rom-com plot into a slasher flick far easier than a butt-tonne of murders into a rom-com. I mean, I think rom-com fans will come to see a murderous rom-com, but at least some of them wouldn’t be happy if they didn’t know that going in. Whereas as long as the slasher flick delivers the corpses I think horror fans would be only to delighted to realise it’s a secret rom-com.
# If you read a lot of scripts you’ll know how psychologically comforting a sub-100 page script is. A turgid 105 pager goes on forever. 98 pages … eh, even if it’s dross it won’t take up too much of my time. It’s the 99p in the land of the poundshops.

I can’t tell you how many times I watched the original “RoboCop” during my teen years. The 1987 sci-fi action flick was such a wild ride. It had a really cool mixture of wacky humor, slick satire, a great villain, and some insane (and frequently graphic) action sequences. Then I heard that MGM was bringing RoboCop back. Yes, yet another remake of a popular 1980’s movie. Then I see where this new RoboCop film was getting the dreaded February release date. All things pointed to this being a crappy movie.
But what a surprise it was to find this to be a cool and competent action movie. Let me say it again,”RoboCop” is surprisingly good and I am as shocked as anyone. This is essentially a reboot that takes many of the elements from the original film and adds a modern touch. It shuffles up the narrative a bit and it gets a fresh coat of CGI paint. But the core of | be a completely different film to the one people were expecting.

But what a surprise it was to find this to be a cool and competent action movie. Let me say it again,”RoboCop” is surprisingly good and I am as shocked as anyone. This is essentially a reboot that takes many of the elements from the original film and adds a modern touch. It shuffles up the narrative a bit and it gets a fresh coat of CGI paint. But the core of | the film is the same. It falls short of the first film in several areas, but it makes its own satisfying statement in others. Again, I was really surprised.
This “RoboCop” quickly lays out its politically charged landscape. The United States government has handed over its military reins to a multinational corporation known as OmniCorp. These guys have mastered advanced robot technology which allows for mechanical soldiers to replace humans. Their sales pitch points to how many lives have been saved in American military interests around the world. OmniCorp’s next big moneymaking venture is selling their products to local law enforcement. But a group of strong-willed senators and a very concerned public opinion stands in the way. This hodgepodge of political wrangling and big corporate greed is clearly intended as some sort of social satire. Well the message didn’t resonate with me, but it did set up an interesting landscape for the main story.
Speaking of the main story, this time around Swedish born actor Joel Kinnaman plays Detroit police detective Alex Murphy. He and his partner have been working undercover to bring down a local crime boss. But as he gets closer to blowing the top off the case, the bad guys get nervous and try to take Murphy out. A car bomb goes off leaving Murphy with severe burns, amputations, and no hope for survival. OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars (Michael Keaton) approaches Murphy’s wife Clara (played by the lovely Abbie Cornish) and offers to save her husband’s life by placing him in a permanent robotic suit. Of course Sellars real intent is to put a face on his robot program in hopes of swaying public opinion.
One thing I was looking forward to was the return of Michael Keaton to a larger big screen role. I’ve always loved him dating back to his early madcap comedy style. While he is written to be your standard corporate baddie, Keaton brings a certain slimy panache to the role. It was great to see him back. There was also the casting of Gary Oldman as a scientist who struggles with the moral complexity of the RoboCop project. It’s a great role for Oldman and as you would expect he is fabulous. Then there is Samuel L. Jackson who plays a loud and opinionated cable news talk show host. We only see him via his broadcast and he is funny in spurts. But by his fourth appearance I was tired of him.
The funny thing about this film is that it flirts with a number of satirical themes and the story teases going in several different directions. But it pulls back on a number of occasions choosing to play it safe. There are several interesting turns that really hooked me and I wanted them to go further than they actually do. Still, there was enough in and around the central story to keep me involved. Some of the plot directions are really effective and very well conceived.
But many people will go to “RoboCop” looking for some good, old-fashioned action. They will definitely get it here. Director José Padilha definitely knows how to shoot action. There are some butt-kicking standout sequences, none better than a wicked shootout in a pitch black gang hideout. It’s stylish, kinetic, and a ton of fun. The technology is cool, the RoboCop suit looks great, and there are several other visual flares that I loved. For example one scene shows what is left of Murphy once he is stripped of his armor. It’s a wild and disturbing special effect that also fuels one of the movie’s bigger emotional moments.
So many of these modern remakes have turned out terrible (I’m looking at you “Red Dawn” and “Total Recall”). The good news is “RoboCop” certainly isn’t terrible. It isn’t as provocative is it wants to be. It isn’t as clever as it tries to be. It isn’t as witty as it needs to be. But it is more fun than I ever expected it to be. There is some great action, some really good performances, and enough depth to the story to make it a worthwhile science fiction romp. Don’t expect a deep cerebral experience. After all this is RoboCop. But I can honestly say, that it had a lot more to offer than I was ever expecting.

A million Europeans have EU Covid certificate
The certificate is to be used for intra-EU travel from July 1 and there are talks with other countries to recognize it
by Marie Julien June 8, 2021 June 8, 2021

More than one million Europeans have received the new EU Covid health certificate being rolled out to unlock travel within the bloc, the European Commission said on Tuesday.
EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders announced the figure to the European Parliament ahead of a vote to enshrine the document in law in time for the continent’s all-important summer tourism season.
It is expected to be passed by a big majority after agreement between MEPs and the EU’s 27 member states on details, with the vote result known early on Wednesday.
The certificate – showing the bearer’s immunity to Covid-19 either through vaccination or previous infection, or their negative test status – is to be used for intra-EU travel from July 1, obviating the need for quarantine or further testing for travelers.
But the commission wants as many EU countries as possible to start earlier.
“The more certificates we can already issue, the easier the process will be during the summer – otherwise, we risk a big bang on the first of July, which we cannot afford,” Reynders said.
Nine countries
As of Tuesday, nine EU countries were already issuing the documents – including the sunny tourist destinations of Greece, Spain and Croatia, as well as the bloc’s major source of tourists, Germany.
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Lithuania and Poland were the others.
“More than a million citizens have already received such certificates, and many more will follow in the next weeks and months,” Reynders said.

Daniel Woods Is A Professional Rock Climber Daniel evolved a passion for mountain climbing at a young age. He commenced mountaineering at Mineral Wells State Park at the age of 5.
Later, his family resided in Longmont, Colorado, where he persisted to pursue his ardour for climbing more seriously with the assist of his father, Steve, and sister, Amanda.
He turned into just ten years vintage when he received the Junior Competition Climbing Association (JCCA) National Championship. He turned into then selected for the US Youth Climbing Team.
Subsequently, Daniel rose to prominence within the American competitive bouldering scene at some stage in the 2000s.
He became the winner of the American Bouldering Series (now known as USA Climbing’s Bouldering National Championships) eight times among 2005 and 2014.
He also acquired a couple of positions inside the Sports Climbing National Championships (triumphing two gold medals).
He received gold medals in bouldering at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2010.
The following year, he have become the primary American climber to take home an IFSC Boulder World Cup identify.
Regarding his climbing achievements, he’s now the most active difficult boulderer of all time. He has finished greater than 30 troubles categorised V15 and tougher, numerous of which have been first ascents.

A million Europeans have EU Covid certificate
The certificate is to be used for intra-EU travel from July 1 and there are talks with other countries to recognize it

More than one million Europeans have received the new EU Covid health certificate being rolled out to unlock travel within the bloc, the European Commission said on Tuesday.
EU Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders announced the figure to the European Parliament ahead of a vote to enshrine the document in law in time for the continent’s all-important summer tourism season.
It is expected to be passed by a big majority after agreement between MEPs and the EU’s 27 member states on details, with the vote result known early on Wednesday.
The certificate – showing the bearer’s immunity to Covid-19 either through vaccination or previous infection, or their negative test status – is to be used for intra-EU travel from July 1, obviating the need for quarantine or further testing for travelers.
But the commission wants as many EU countries as possible to start earlier.
“The more certificates we can already issue, the easier the process will be during the summer – otherwise, we risk a big bang on the first of July, which we cannot afford,” Reynders said.
Nine countries
As of Tuesday, nine EU countries were already issuing the documents – including the sunny tourist destinations of Greece, Spain and Croatia, as well as the bloc’s major source of tourists, Germany.
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Lithuania and Poland were the others.
“More than a million citizens have already received such certificates, and many more will follow in the next weeks and months,” Reynders said.
The EU Digital Covid Certificate can be presented either in online form, on a smartphone for example, or printed out on paper.
It features a QR code for verification, which border officials and venue staff can use to check against digital signatures stored securely in Luxembourg servers.
Only minimal data of the bearer are included on the certificates, to prevent identity skimming, and the EU legislation surrounding their use is due to expire after a year, so that they do not become a fixture with potential Big Brother uses in the future.
EU lawmakers and capitals also agreed that, when it comes to proof of vaccinations, only the jabs authorized by the European Medicines Agency – so far those from BioNTech/Pf | izer, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson – would be accepted in all EU countries.
But individual countries can also decide to accept, for their territory only, others, such as one produced by China, or Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine.
Money and concessions
To prevent discrimination against the unvaccinated – particularly younger Europeans who have not yet been able to access jabs given in priority to the elderly – much emphasis has also been put on testing.
The parliament failed to make Covid tests for travel free of charge, but extracted money and concessions from the European Commission to make them more affordable.
Reynders said work was ongoing to also expand the use of the EU Digital Covid Certificate so that it is accepted beyond Europe.
Talks have been underway with the United States for some sort of mutual recognition of vaccination status.
But they have run up against the problem that there is no single federally backed certificated in the US, only a myriad of state and private vaccination cards almost impossible to authenticate abroad.

By James Israel
by Humor Times Senior Electoral Dysfunction Correspondent Jonathan Crockett
WASHINGTON — In an interview with CNN’s Campbell Brown today, McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds called John McCain’s defeat in Tuesday’s presidential election a “significant setback” to McCain’s bid for the presidency, but ultimately a motivational tool.
“John McCain’s recent loss in the presidential election has only served to increase his determination to fight on and win the candidacy for President of the United States,” said Bounds. “The senator is known throughout Washington and America as a maverick and he won’t let something as trivial as a decisive victory by his opponent and an overwhelming public moratorium against his political views and general ideology stand in his way.”
Unwilling to accept Bounds’ unapologetic attempt at political spin, Campbell Brown pointed out that Senator McCain failed by wide margins to win both the popular vote and the 270 points needed in the electoral college, thereby rendering his bid for the presidency hopelessly and irrevocably lost.
“We’ll leave the political math to the pundits, Campbell,” retorted Bounds. “Our internal polling still looks strong and we think we’ve got a better than average shot at winning this thing. John McCain didn’t give up after repeated torture and interrogation during his captivity in Vietnam and he’s not about to give up in light of the media writing him off and pronouncing Barack Obama the next President of the United States.”
During 45 minutes of probing by Brown, Bounds’ increasingly evasive responses ranged from pretending not to hear the questions posed, to at one point answering in what was either Swahili or gibberish. The interview concluded with Campaign aides hurriedly carrying Bounds away after plumes of smoke started emanating from his ears and he began repeating “Does not compute. Syntax error,” in a robotic monotone.

Lockheed Martin Corp. plans to cull about 1,000 jobs from its aeronautics division, which makes the F-35 fighter and other military aircraft, amid constrained defense spending, Bloomberg reported. The world’s largest defense company is offering voluntary layoffs to mid-level employees in Texas, Georgia, California, Mississippi, West Virginia and Maryland, Lockheed said in a statement Tuesday. Lockheed has been looking to bolster profit margins in aeronautics, its largest division and the source of about one-third of company revenue, as it speeds up production of the F-35, the Pentagon’s largest weapons system, Douglas Rothacker, a Bloomberg Intelligence defense analyst, said.

Tourists and visitors urged to stay away from Anglesey
Tourism is a mainstay of Anglesey’s economy bringing in £310m annually and employing around 4,000 people.
But today (Saturday, March 21st), Anglesey Council Leader, Councillor Llinos Medi, urged tourists and visitors to stay away from the Island until the Coronavirus crisis is over.
UK and Welsh Government, and Public Health Wales, guidance in respect of social isolation and minimising all but non-essential travel must be followed by everyone.
Cllr Llinos Medi said, “This is a message I never thought I would have to give, but in these unprecedented times, I have no other option but to urge visitors and tourists, including those who own second homes, to stay away from the Island with immediate effect. We must all play our part, and void all but essential travel, to tackle this national emergency.”
She also appealed to the tourism industry to help reduce social contact and called on caravan parks and B&Bs to close to limit the spread of the disease and reduce pressure on local services and NHS.
Cllr Medi added, “We have seen a recent influx of visitors coming to stay in caravans or second homes on Anglesey. They will undoubtedly put an immense extra strain on essential public services, including the NHS, which are already under tremendous pressure. They must consider the implications of their actions on the people of Anglesey.”
With growing restrictions linked to the Coronavirus outbreak having a huge impact on the tourism and hospitality industry, Cllr Medi also urged both UK and Welsh Governments to provide as much support as possible to the sector and all other businesses to get them through the coming weeks and months.
Anglesey’s Major Projects and Economic Development portfolio holder, Cllr Carwyn Jones added, “We are aware of the huge impact the spread of Coronavirus is having across the country as well as the Island’s tourism and hospitality sector.”
“I would like to reassure our communities that we are doing everything possible to contain the spread of Coronavirus here on Anglesey. Once this is over, we look forward to welcoming visitors back, as tourism is such a key part of our economy.”

Dinner, Drinks, Dancing & Donell Jones: The Shark Bar & Grille in Southwest ATL is Where You Wanna Be
You don't get many chances these days to tell people there's a Donell Jones show tonight. As a former employee of LaFace Records, even I get pretty nostalgic and fan-happy remembering the '90s, when R&B singers still wore fedoras and suits, and sang songs that were just simple enough that dudes felt comfortable singing along.
Donell Jones is indeed back, celebrating a new album release and performing in concert tonight at The Shark Bar & Grille, a swanky/sexy ("swexy"?) new lounge renovated from the shell of what used to be The Pearl Bistro & Bar. Instead of the warmer, rustic-earth orange/gold/cream interior color scheme, there are now lush nighttime hues of deep blue, purple, and glossy black.
The spot stays open until 3am on Fridays, Saturdays, and because why not, Tuesdays. Featured on the menu are pastas like Chicken and Sausage, a gargantuan $18 serving of Louisiana Gumbo with shrimp, crawfish, chicken and other gumboey things, and what they swear you'll say are the best catfish fingers in town, unless of course you've ever shaken Manti Teo's hand.
Again, Donell Jones performs tonight -- I know, that's like three or four times now -- and I'd guess he's hitting the stage around 11pm or later. Get more info at The Shark Bar's Facebook page, get more info on the venue at SharkBarATL.com, and click Read More now to check out a gallery of interior photos. You know what's up. (sorry... couldn't help myself) Journal Club: Sticky proteins play crucial role in tailoring synapses
Posted on August 13, 2018 by Charlotte Schubert
Specific configurations of adhesion molecules may direct the appearance and function of a synapse, shown here in an EM image along with vesicles near the presynaptic region. Credit: Anna Schröder.
The proteins that join neurons together at the synapse do more than just act like glue. Synaptic adhesion proteins are known to affect the activity of neurotransmitters, weaken or strengthen synaptic connections, or direct where synapses form. Faulty adhesion proteins have even been implicated in conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
One longstanding idea about these molecules also puts them at the center of synapse identity—with specific configurations of adhesion molecules directing how each connection looks and operates. This view gains traction in a new study by researchers in Belgium, published in Neuron.
The researchers observed different combinations of molecules at two synaptic locations on a single neuron in rats, and showed that each has a particular effect on how the synapse works. Senior author Joris de Wit of the VIB Center for Brain & Disease Research in Leuven likens the proteins to “little molecular Lego blocks that can plug into a synapse, and that change the properties of the synapse.”
And the human brain has a lot of synapses—between 1,000 and 10,000 on each of its 80 billion or so neurons. “Every connection has its own peculiar | 1,024 | 1 |

Q: Delphi XE2 Rounding with DecimalRounding_JH1 Because of a documented rounding issue in Delphi XE2, we are using a special rounding unit available on the Embarcadero site named DecimalRounding_JH1 to achieve true bankers rounding. A link to the unit can be found here:

This is the rounding routine from the DecimalRounding_JH1 unit. In our example we call this DecimalRound function with the following parameters (166426800, 12, MaxRelErrDbl, drHalfEven) where maxRelErrDbl = 2.2204460493e-16 * 1.234375 * 2
Function DecimalRound(Value: extended; NDFD: integer; MaxRelErr: double;
Ctrl: tDecimalRoundingCtrl = drHalfEven): extended;
{ The DecimalRounding function is for doing the best possible job of rounding
floating binary point numbers to the specified (NDFD) number of decimal
fraction digits. MaxRelErr is the maximum relative error that will allowed
when determining when to apply the rounding rule. }
var i64, j64: Int64; k: integer; m, ScaledVal, ScaledErr: extended;

{ Compute 10^NDFD and scale the Value and MaxError: }
m := 1; For k := 1 to abs(NDFD) do m := m*10;
If NDFD >= 0
then begin
ScaledVal := Value * m;
ScaledErr := abs(MaxRelErr*Value) * m;

The last line is where we get a floating point error.
Any thoughts on why this error is occurring?
A: If you get an exception, that means you cannot represent your value as an double within specified error range.
In other words, the maxRelErrDbl is too small.

$(document).ready(function(){
var lastPostID = $(".post div:last").data("id");
console.log(lastPostID, "lastPostID");
});
</script>
Output is bad:
null "lastPostID"
Why?
A: If you want to poll some external resource (with an AJAX call, for example) you can follow the "Recursive setTimeout pattern" (from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.setInterval). Example:
(function loop(){
setTimeout(function(){
// logic here
// recurse
loop();
}, 1000);
})();
A: use setInterval() instead of setTimeout()
something like:
setInterval(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
context: document.body
}).done(function() {
//do something
});
},1000*60);

The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

The Liszt Academy
Teaching at the National Hungarian Royal Academy of Music, founded in 1875, started in the apartment of Ferenc Liszt on Hal Square, which was swept away in the course of urban redevelopment in downtown Pest at the turn of the century. The school had to wait until 1879 before it could take over its brand new building on Andrássy Avenue: today this is called the Old Liszt Academy. However, the Neo-Renaissance block designed by Adolf Láng quickly proved too small; the Society of Hungarian Engineers and Architects, which each year took on a different challenge, selected for its 1888-1889 tender the topic "concert building connected with the music and drama academy".

The competition was won by 27-year-old Kálmán Giergl, who 12 years later, in 1901, received precisely the same task from the minister of religion and education by direct commission, without tender, as joint senior partner in the office he shared with Flóris Korb. Notwithstanding the fact that both Korb and Giergl were by then experienced, respected architects, with a portfolio including the Királyi tenement on Ferenciek Square and the two Klotild Palaces, the obvious strings that had been pulled in this project raised a storm of professional criticism.

The first version, and then the second, 1913, version following the shelving of the Drama Academy, were drafted by Korb and Giergl very much under the influence of Lechner; the oriental elements of the facade, the richly articulated cornice, and the rows of arched windows all point to this. However, dispute about the draft plans immediately broke out in the architecture committee: Ignác Alpár, eternal antagonist enamoured with Historicism, speaking within the earshot of Lechner, who was also a member of the jury, damned the pair of designers, while the scheme was also vetoed by musician-architect Kamill Fittler, ministerial commissioner of works and, interestingly enough, director of the Museum of Applied Arts, one of Lechner's projects.

The most important class, however, for me and for hundreds of other Hungarian musicians, was the chamber-music class. From about the age of fourteen, and until graduation from the Academy, all instrumentalists except the heavy-brass players and percussionists had to participate in this course. Presiding over it for many years was the composer Leó Weiner, who thus exercised an enormous influence on three generations of Hungarian musicians.

The Liszt Academy
Teaching at the National Hungarian Royal Academy of Music, founded in 1875, started in the apartment of Ferenc Liszt on Hal Square, which was swept away in the course of urban redevelopment in downtown Pest at the turn of the century. The school had to wait until 1879 before it could take over its brand new building on Andrássy Avenue: today this is called the Old Liszt Academy. However, the Neo-Renaissance block designed by Adolf Láng quickly proved too small; the Society of Hungarian Engineers and Architects, which each year took on a different challenge, selected for its 1888-1889 tender the topic "concert building connected with the music and drama academy".

Thus the music academy was finally constructed between 1904 and 1907 in a unique mixture of styles, on the basis of a third redrafting, with a greater respect for tradition and, for instance, primarily stonework on the façade instead of ceramics. The stone Atlases above the entrance would be equally at home on any of the Neo-Renaissance mansions l | ining nearby Andrássy Avenue, whereas the Genius sculptures by Géza Maróti positioned above the main cornice were appreciatively received by international visitors to the Milan International in 1906. At the same time, elements borrowed from Assyrian or Egyptian architecture associate the thinking of Korb and Giergl with the philosophy of Lechner, who travelled to the Middle East in search of inspiration. It was also an indication of their age that they chose to use reinforced concrete, a relatively little-known technique in Hungary at the time. The engineer Szilárd Zielinski imported the system from France and with it created a cutting-edge structure for its day: he used reinforced concrete to make not only the foundations but the entire floor structure and the balconies of the Grand Hall.
Although there is some basis to the much-voiced assertion that the finest artisans of the period were employed on the Liszt Academy, the full truth is that when it came to their selection, price was the foremost consideration. The ministry contracted the bidder offering the lowest price in virtually every public procurement connected with the construction. This policy was only deviated from when the architects suggested otherwise; thanks to them, the more expensive but presumably more reliable Zsolnay company of Pécs received the commission for the floor and wall cladding instead of József Walla; and instead of Károly Majoros, who was favoured by the ministry, in the end the windows in the building were created by Miksa Róth, whose name is still recognized to this day. It is worth adding, however, that the latter decision took a whole year to secure.
The decoration of the interiors, although derived from antique and Renaissance pre-images, basically reveals an Austrian Jugendstil influence. Róth worked on the basis of the pattern book of Julius Hoffmann from Vienna, and the ventilation grids in the Grand Hall are reminiscent of the cupola decorated with golden leaves of the Sezession exhibition palace (1897). The name of Aladár Körösfői Kriesch is worthy of particular mention among the many participating fellow artists. The two frescos in the vestibule on the ground floor and the composition that can be seen in the first floor foyer (The Fountain of Art, a slightly late Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that is rare in Hungary) are the work of the leader of the Gödöllő artists' colony.
Amongst the interiors, the ground floor and upper vestibule, the library with metal-framed gallery and the director's conference room preserving its original items of furniture all managed to survive the stormy decades of the 20th century in their original form. However, the overall picture of the Grand Hall and the Solti Hall was considerably altered by renovation carried out after the Second World War. In the Grand Hall, in place of the green-yellow wall tones the emphasis is given to restored reddish brown marble (based on the discovery of original paint layers under the later coverings), and the wood panelling painted over in a brown gloss has been returned to its original black and gold. Thus the overall effect of the hall with its gilded ornamentation and old gold-bronze upholstery has become much sharper and more contrasted, just as in the Solti Hall, where the colours have been renewed, while decorative paintings discovered on the ceiling have also been restored.

In the end, blame was ultimately cast on the number of hospital beds in Philadelphia at the time:
Mount Sinai competes with three hospitals in South Philadelphia – Methodist Hospital, St. Agnes Medical Center and Pennsylvania Hospital. With more and more medical care being shifted to outpatient settings, the area probably had too many beds, some health-care officials said yesterday.
“That seems pretty much borne out by the numbers,” said G. Michael Bellenghi, a partner in the health-care section of Touche Ross, a major accounting firm. “It’s fairly clear the medical-surgical beds (at Mount Sinai) were not successful.”
“The South Philadelphia community is overbedded these days. With the other three hospitals there, it seems there are an adequate number to take care of the community,” said Michael Bradley, senior vice president of Thomas Jefferson University.
With its closure as an acute-care hospital, Mount Sinai joins a growing list of area hospitals in financial trouble. More than 25 percent are now posting financial losses, and two local hospitals are in bankruptcy proceedings, according to industry officials and health-care consultants.
“I’ve never seen it so bad. And it’s not just the hospitals you’d expect. It’s now a lot of hospitals that had been profitable until recently,” said Gerald Katz of the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick.
As of 1999, the building was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as determined by the Philadelphia Historical and Museum Commission.

Manchester United’s interest in Barcelona star Neymar appears to have concerned the Catalan giants enough that they are now preparing a new deal for the 23-year-old, according to the Daily Express.
The Red Devils begun to consider pulling off an audacious deal for the forward after they missed out on his former teammate Pedro, the Express report. And the Old Trafford outfit were not only willing to trigger his release clause with a staggering bid of £140m, but also offer the playmaker a contract that would see him pocket £300,000 a week (via Express).
While there is little indication about whether Neymar would be willing to make the move to the Premier League, it appears that the speculation has persuaded the La Liga champions to try and make United’s task much more challenging.
The Express report that they will offer the Brazil captain a new deal worth £6.6m per year, but will also increase his release clause to an eye-watering £182m.
Given that a potential move would break the world record for a transfer fee by just short of £100m (via BBC Sport), it would be a huge gamble on United’s part to make such an offer.
If Neymar followed in the footsteps of Angel Di Maria, and struggled to make the desired impact, it is almost a given that the Red Devils would make a monumental loss on the player if they tried to sell him on.

He may not have been chosen for “American Idol” late last summer, but Santa Barbara resident Kellen Romano is keeping on by once again hitting the stage of SOhO R | estaurant & Music Club for its singer-songwriter showcase. On November 12 the 22-year-old singer will lead off a three-artist lineup by performing the first hour of the showcase, which will feature a twelve-song setlist of original material and classic rock songs that are his inspiration. Whether in the former or latter category, all the numbers he’s chosen fit into the theme of songs that mean something significant to him, which he called “songs from my heart.”
While he won’t be playing any newly written music of his, Mr. Romano will perform some numbers that he hasn’t yet done at one of SOhO’s singer-songwriter showcases. These include covers of The Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” and Prince’s “Purple Rain,” his set’s last two numbers and the lone electric songs in a mostly acoustic set. When it comes to covering such famous music, Mr. Romano tries to bring his own flavor to the songs while retaining their most well-known moments.
“I try to keep some stuff from the original recording, usually stuff that’s very iconic, but I do try to put my own spin on it whenever I can,” he said.
With each performance he does, Mr. Romano includes two or three of his original compositions among his renditions of evergreen classics. The two he thought best fit the “songs from my heart” theme were “A Universe in My Hand,” which he wrote about all the things one can do with a smartphone, and “Music is My Life,” about how he has evolved as a musician. Elaborating on his young history of performing, Mr. Romano said the latter song recounts how he very nearly sold his guitar when he was in eighth grade out of frustration with finding performance opportunities. Once he started attending San Marcos High School, the opportunities he sought presented themselves with Royals Got Talent, a talent show benefiting the nonprofit Kids Helping Kids. Mr. Romano participated in the show each of his four years of high school and was hooked on performing thereafter.
In additional to originals that are near and dear to his heart, Mr. Romano will also sing the acoustic covers he performed for his “American Idol” audition last August: Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Ed Sheeran’s “The A-Team.” When asked about his memories of auditioning for the TV show, Mr. Romano said it was an overall positive experience, albeit with a significantly longer wait time than most auditions he’s done.
“It’s very different from other auditions… I was in the line for four hours,” he recalled.
After killing the hours by warming up and jamming on his guitar, Mr. Romano passed the preliminary round with the two numbers he prepared, but didn’t make it past the first round of executive producers. He admitted to the New-Press that he didn’t think it was likely he would proceed to the next round, but had hoped his participation could get him local coverage and raise his profile.
Intent on becoming a professional musician, Mr. Romano intends on transferring from SBCC, where he currently studies music and economics, to either Cal State Long Beach or Cal State Northridge and continue his musical training. When asked the standard question of what he enjoys about music, the young singer-songwriter said it’s all down to the feeling it brings.
“I don’t really know how to describe it. It just feels like I’ve accomplished something,” he said.
Mr. Romano’s November 12 performance at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club will kick off the singer-songwriter showcase at 7:00 p.m., with doors to the venue opening at 6:30 p.m. His set will be followed by performances by Miss Judy B at 8:00 p.m. and Mary Clifford at 9:00 p.m. Tickets cost $8 and will be sold at the door. SOhO Restaurant & Music Club is located at 1221 State St. Ste. 205.

But looking professional means more than just having a top-of-the-line briefcase, Italian shoes, the best laptop money can buy, and a bright smile that would shame a Hollywood celebrity. In this article | , I’m going to share some tips you may never have thought of in the course of your career. Chances are, one (or more) of these tips will help you win over a crowd, land that job, or impress the higher ups.
Standard business fare most often will do for your average meeting. But when you raise the bar of importance, you must match it with your personal appearance. And this doesn’t stop at your neck. Not only should you be wearing your best suit, you should make sure you are properly groomed. Don’t think your hair can go “one more week” before you get it cut. And get it cut a couple of days before the big to-do. And your clothing shouldn’t just look good; it should also be comfortable. The last thing you want is to be in front of a crowd and notice your pants are too tight or too loose or your shoes are killing your feet. If you have to wear heels, don’t wear heels that are too high. And do NOT forget antiperspirant. Now you may be thinking these are all very obvious tips, but people can (and often do) overlook the obvious.
You may not know this but your body, and your ability to present yourself, is directly affected by its state of being. If you get up to do a presentation or run a crucial meeting and your muscles are cold and tight, it will reflect in your posture and presentation. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to stretch your muscles to get them warm and used to moving. Stretch your arms, legs, back, and neck. With relaxed muscles your presentation will come across smoother and more relaxed. You should also give your voice plenty of chance to warm itself up before you start.
Have you ever been in a meeting or interview and had your stomach growl so loudly that everyone in the room heard it? You may think this would be a fun moment where everyone will get a chuckle. It’s not. It’s unprofessional. Make sure you eat before you present your material. But don’t overdo it. What is worse than a gurgling stomach is a noisy backside or the need to break for Mother Nature. Sure, you can include time in your presentation for bathroom/stretch breaks. But if you are in an interview and that stomach makes itself known, it will look less-than-professional. And fuel is not just about quieting an otherwise noisy digestive system. You also need plenty of fuel to get you through the process. If you don’t take in enough calories, your body will let you know — which will not go unnoticed.
I have seen presentations that looked horribly amateur simply because the speaker was carrying a McDonald’s coffee cup as he spoke or a whiteboard or easel that didn’t work. When putting together the pieces for your presentation, don’t leave out any details. If you need a drink (and you should have water with you), make sure your water glass (and pitcher, if you drink a lot) is clean, simple, and classy. Do not use a sippy cup or sports water bottle. If your presentation requires an easel or whiteboard, be sure that everything is solid, works as it should, and looks new or at least clean and sturdy.
If you depend upon handouts for your presentation, make sure they’re in collated, pre-stapled, and stacked neatly or distributed to each audience member’s chair. The less you have to interrupt your presentation or meeting to get everything in order, the better. And don’t skimp. If you shell out for a cheap easel or whiteboard, you might find yourself fighting with them more than you should. Pay for solid tools and you will get solid results.
It amazes me when I am a participant in a lecture, interview, presentation, or meeting and I see spelling errors in handouts or resumes or on a whiteboard or overhead. The fastest way to lose attention or a job prospect is to have spelling errors littered throughout your work. An audience or interviewer may forgive minor or tricky sentence structure issues, but spelling? No way. If you don’t employ spell check in your word processor — do. If you know you’re plagued with spelling problems, have someone check your presentations, resume, or handouts.
Your audience doesn’t need to know how many people call or text you, and there is nothing more unprofessional than stopping your presentation or interrupting your interview to answer a phone or a text. There are few exceptions to this rule. If your wife is about to give birth, that’s | 1,024 | 1 |

The Court stated: "Before moving on to a decision of such nerve-center constitutional questions, we pause to allow for further efforts at a settlement. x x x This dispute between the legislative and executive branches has at least some elements of the political-question doctrine. A court decision selects a victor, and tends thereafter to tilt the scales. A compromise worked out between the branches is most likely to meet their essential needs and the country's constitutional balance." See also United States v. AT&T, 567 F.2d 121, 127 (D.C. Cir. 1977). The Court stated: "The framers, rather than attempting to define and allocate all governmental power in minute detail, relied, we believe, on the expectation that where conflicts in scope of authority arose between the coordinate branches, a spirit of dynamic compromise would promote resolution of the dispute in the manner most likely to result in efficient and effective functioning of our governmental system. Under this view, the coordinate branches do not exist in an exclusively adversary relationship to one another when a conflict in authority arises. Rather, each branch should take cognizance of an implicit constitutional mandate to seek optimal accommodation through a realistic evaluation of the needs of the conflicting branches in the particular fact situation. This aspect of constitutional scheme avoids the mischief of polarization of disputes x x x."

wheels all day long those first few weeks only to find that the dial never really moved much by the end of September.
That's what I would have done way back when I first started homeschooling.
But a few years ago, I wisened up. I stopped trying to perfect every single moment and sew up every loose thread. Instead of hitting the brakes on the entire school day in order to mend its broken pieces right then and there, I learned to press on with forward motion instead. I granted myself the gift of a DONE school day, albeit an imperfect one, and used a simple piece of scratch paper to help keep me going.
My no-fuss fix to the launch-month chaos was (and still is) a piece of scratch paper.
Sounds too uncomplicated, doesn't it? But before you give me the big fat side eye, hear me out.
During the first week of school, I carry a piece of scratch paper around with me and create an ever-growing TO DO list. Whenever I notice a missing curriculum guide that I had failed to order or a stack of science lab sheets that need to be corralled, I write the problem down on my list. When it feels like time is being squandered and kids are milling around, waiting for directions from me, I write it down. When personalities start to get prickly and tempers flare, I write it down.
I don't try to fix it all. I don't waste precious time or mental energy coming up with a solution right then and there. I just brain-dump each problem onto my list and move on with the day.
Then, at the end of the school day when all the kids scatter and I finally have three full seconds of quiet, I go through the list like a triage nurse. I determine which school day wounds cut the deepest and tend to those first. I assess which fires I can put out immediately (in order to feel the instant gratification of having fixed something...anything) and which fires will have to smolder a bit longer until a more permanent solution can be found.
For practical things like missing curriculum guides or jumbled hymn sheets, I order and reorder until everything feels straight again. But for character issues and scheduling conflicts, I do a little brainstorming.
I mentally walk-through those harried moments of the day--the times when it seemed that every breath tore at my throat or when my patience needed a longer leash.
...finished assignments should be stacked on the opposite counter from the internet router in order that the pile can be contained (along with my simmering frustration).
If I tried to tackle all of these issues during the school day, a three-minute problem would somehow eat away at an entire morning. I'd look at the clock and find that I had squandered hours just fiddling and fixing. Our school day would feel like a long walk uphill.
That makes sense, of course, since according to the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (Vol. 27, No. 4), multitasking is actually less efficient than what most people think. It takes more time and mental energy to shift gears in the middle of an activity than it does to just complete one full task before moving on to another one.
So, by carrying around a piece of paper and jotting down problems as they pop up, I'm able to give them all a place without allowing them to take over the day. Once I've set them down in ink, I can happily press onward with the school day, fully confident that those problems will get solved...just not right now.
So momma, if you feel a bit understaffed after the first month of school or if you find that your emotions are already starting to burn pretty hot, perhaps it's time to give yourself the gift of a finished day.
Carry a simple sheet of paper around with you today. Write down any problem areas that need fixing--times in the day when you see things start to get a bit dicey, when you notice curriculum items that need to be tweaked or discarded altogether, when you realize that high traffic areas in your home are too cluttered and suffocating. Write it all down as it happens. Don't try to fix it in the moment. You'll waste far too much precious time and end the day feeling pretty brittle.
As soon as you're officially done with school, designate the first 15 minutes for triage. Start tackling your list of problems, one item at a time.

Full dis | closure, this won't ever be a one-and-done kind of list. I'm twelve years and one month into our homeschool journey and I still carry a piece of paper with me every single day. Sure, there are plenty of great resources and courses that promise to perfect your homeschool before you even roll out of bed each day. But, no program will ever be a silver bullet. Remember, you're dealing with real people here, not spreadsheets and hypothetical days.
Definitely take the courses, read the books, and plan until your eyes cross. After all, without a plan, you are planning to fail. Just remember, though, that the dry, passive sentences of the experts cannot refine every moment of your homeschool. Planning is not an exact science. You will still have days when things won't go as well as you always hope they will.
Don't let one bad day or even a string of bad days make you feel like a failure. As obvious as it might sound, be ready with a simple piece of paper and make a triage list.
It's a very basic suggestion, to be sure. Perhaps too basic.
Roll your eyes now. Thank me later.
Lol. This is so good. I have been doing this for 8 years. ((Yikes)) And this-a piece of paper- is probably the best, least eye-rolling advice I could have gotten. I love your blog and your writing style, and this post is a keeper!
Thank you! Sometimes the simplest advice is what we all need to hear. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the complicated advice and elaborate systems of the online experts. Homeschool moms don't need mental clutter. We need simple.
I could say the same about a lot of things! Your vehicle’s suspension system is made up of many important parts, including the shocks and struts. The suspension system is what allows you to properly control your vehicle and keeps your driving experience smooth and comfortable. When you drive over a speed bump or pothole, the shocks and struts will help absorb the impact to keep your car steady. If there is a problem with the shocks and struts, you will start to notice that your vehicle rides rough and it much bumpier than usual.
At Power Automotive in Santa Clarita, our ASE certified technicians are the experts when it comes to shocks and struts. Our mechanics are experienced and trained to work with all makes and models of vehicles and can help with any suspension system problem that you may be experiencing.
At the first sign of an issue with your shocks and struts, give our experts a call to make an appointment for service. Over time, the shocks and struts will naturally wear down with regular use of your vehicle. They usually need to be replaced around every 50,000 miles, depending on the make and model of your vehicle as well as your own driving habits.
The shocks and struts are also part of the structural components of the suspension system and help to keep the tires aligned. Ignoring a problem with the shocks and struts can cause more damage to the suspension system. Our shop has the latest tools and computer diagnostic technology to accurately diagnose and repair your vehicle the first time around.

Can't we see it's time to let go? Valentines Day week 2018 saw a tremendous amount of activity when it came to addressing our nations failed policy of marijuana prohibition. From new federal legislation being introduced to two federal lawsuits having hearings, plus a number of members of Congress, old allies and new stepping up to demand the Trump Administration continue to allow the states that have reformed their laws be respected by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Rick “Not Pro-Pot But Pro-Civil Liberties” Steves Went To Washington: Bestselling guidebook author and travel host Rick Steves held two briefings to address marijuana prohibition to a gathering of members of Congress and their staff. Inspired by Europe’s pragmatic approach to drug policy, with success measured by harm reduction rather than incarceration, Steves said that he is motivated to speak in favor of legalization because of its impact on civil liberties.
“ There are so many reasons to end the prohibition on marijuana.

New Legislation: Representative Lou Correa (D-CA) has introduced the Sensible Enforcement Of Cannabis Act which would codify the protections that were outlined in the now-rescinded Cole Memo.
Upon the introduction, Rep. Correa said, “To date, eight states have legalized recreational cannabis, and twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia, representing more than half of the American population, have enacted legislation to permit the use of cannabis. Attorney General Sessions’ decision to rescind the “Cole Memo” created great uncertainty for these states and legal cannabis businesses, and put citizens in jeopardy for following their state laws.
Essentially, the Sensible Enforcement Of Cannabis Act would give peace of mind to lawmakers, regulators, 149,000 workers, and the millions of patients and consumers who are dependent on the normalization of lawful marijuana markets. The most essential component in creating a stable business environment to meet consumer demand is certainty and that is what states would have with Reps. Correa’s legislation to protect state-lawful programs from militant marijuana prohibitionist Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

How can a love hurt this bad?
How could we lose all that we had?
Why do we follow through?
What keeps us hanging on?
When you're happy the hard way.
Can't we see it's time to let go? Valentines Day week 2018 saw a tremendous amount of activity when it came to addressing our nations failed policy of marijuana prohibition. From new federal legislation being introduced to two federal lawsuits having hearings, plus a number of members of Congress, old allies and new stepping up to demand the Trump Administration continue to allow the states that have reformed their laws be respected by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Rick “Not Pro-Pot But Pro-Civil Liberties” Steves Went To Washington: Bestselling guidebook author and travel host Rick Steves held two briefings to address marijuana prohibition to a gathering of members of Congress and their staff. Inspired by Europe’s pragmatic approach to drug policy, with success measured by harm reduction rather than incarceration, Steves said that he is motivated to speak in favor of legalization because of its impact on civil liberties.
“ There are so many reasons to end the prohibition on marijuana. Whether you’re concerned about the well-being of children, fairness for minority communities, redirecting money away from criminals and into state’s coffers, stemming the horrific bloodshed in Mexico, or civil liberties; it is clearly time for a new approach,” said Rick Steves.

Let’s start with the 2010 tiger census - the tiger population was estimated to be 1,706, a 21% increase.
The 2014 tiger census - 2,226, a 30% increase.
And the 2018 tiger census was started in January, and experts are looking at an estimate higher than 3000.
That is more than a 100% increase from 2006. How did we achieve this incredible growth rate?
Conservation Efforts Paid Off
The 2006 census was a wakeup call.
The government immediately started pumping resources into the conservation of tigers in India, and with the help of independent wildlife activists, government policies and amendments to the Wildlife Protection Act, tigers in India are safer now.
This has been achieved by heavily cracking down on human-animal conflicts and poaching, by creating natural, connected corridors between tiger-favorable forest cover and increasing the availability of prey.
The contiguous forest patches of the Western Ghats now boast the highest tiger population in the world: 570, while forests in Maharashtra, the Northern and North-Eastern parts of India have also shown considerable increase.
Tigers in Tadoba aren’t far behind, with the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve and its buffer zone boasting a substantial number of 80+ tigers.
2006 was a warning, and India took it seriously enough to reach where it is now. A long road lies ahead yet, but if the trend continues, the future seems brighter than ever.

It has been some time since the Tigers awarded a life membership which underlines the price that is placed on this honour at Tigerland. At the recent Club Champion Award night this rare honour was bestowed on long serving senior coach Mitch Ferguson.
Ferguson, a Cairns product, first ventured to Brisbane in 1993 to study at the University of Queensland and in a fateful decision decided to join the Mayne Tigers. He debuted in the seniors in 1994 playing two seasons before returning to Cairns to teach in 1996.
After several years working in Cairns as a high school teacher he was lured back to Brisbane and at the same time resumed his footy career at the Tigers playing for three more seasons before sustaining a severe back injury which cut short his senior playing career in 2004. However, his love of footy and teaching combined to encourage him to take up a coaching position as understudy to Rob Dickfos as the reserve grade coach for seasons 2005 and 2006. Dickfos moved on after 2006 and Ferguson jumped at the opportunity to take the head coach position in 2007.
It has been a tough road for the Tigers over the intervening years but at the same time it has been one of slow renewal and much credit goes to Ferguson for his range of effort across the footy club’s core activities. Whilst there haven’t been any additions to the trophy cabinet, there has been a strong increase in the depth of the playing personnel as well as the way in which the club presents itself and works as a cohesive unit.
President Russell Ditchburn, who has also worked as one of the coaches under Ferguson was very pleased to be the one who presented this honour after having a very close relationship over the last seven seasons working together. Ditchburn gave an account of the many activities that Ferguson has undertaken for the Tigers over his time at the club in addition to his playing and coaching record. This included a committee position, marketing and finding sponsorships, fundraising, hosting club functions and working with the Mayne Juniors assisting junior coaches.
Ferguson’s impressive record includes six years at the helm, which is the third longest serving senior coach for this proud club. He had a short break in 2011 stepping down as Head coach | better.

In his response to the award, Ferguson was truly taken aback by the announcement given that he is rarely out of the inner sanctum of the club to know all the goings on.
The Mayne Tigers proudly congratulates Mitch Ferguson for achieving this award. Knight Leader Sally-san, Leaving
I was sitting across from Sally-san, the first knight order leader, in the parlor. It was just us.
Not in a sexy way at all though. It was more like I was a student who got a call from their teacher to help them.
Apparently, Sally, who’d been having a relatively thin presence since arriving here… was investigating things about me and those around me.
“Maaan, that bath is great. The bed too… I’d like to stay two, no three more days, but I think I’ll have to move on to my next stop here soon… Coincidentally, Kehma-san, you’ve made something pretty interesting, haven’t you?”
“… Huh—O-Oh, yeah, I just went… and built a church.”
“Hoh, a church—one for the White Goddess Faith?”
“… No. Beddhism.”
“Is that so? Beddhism. I don’t think I’ve heard of that one before? According to what I’ve heard, its scripture came from the dungeon?”
Yep, so she’s here to ask about what’s up with the religion even though she already knows. Definitely.
Ah, yeah, I get it, so uhh, SORRY.
“… Yeah. I made it myself a few days ago.”
“Is that so? I’ll have to report that to Haku-sama.”
“… Oh yeaaah, I didn’t tell her about it, did I? Thanks for that.”
It could be solved straight away by us using the [White Beach (Hotline)], but this is way too good of a chance to let go. I’ll have her do it. This way, it’ll even delay the report a bit.
“I believe that it will work well with the White Goddess Faith, for now at least, but… a subreligion? Really, there’s no way we’re going to deal with whatever problems pop from that. Kehma-san, you’ll have to deal with those yourself.”
“… Okay.”
I understand perfectly well that you’re far from never hearing about it.
Well, it’s natural that she’d know at least a bit about it given how the villagers won’t stop talking about it.
“Ah, to shift gears a bit, I want to follow up on Shikina Kukkoro1. It seems as though she’s wound up on the receiving end of [Futanaru]? I’ve confirmed it, it looks like the effects are just temporary, but…”
“Haah, is there something I should be cautious about for that as well?”
“Please take good care so that she doesn’t get close to Rokuko-sama. Another of that drug’s effects is a powerful aphrodisiac to make it so that there will definitely be offspring left.”
“Ah—yeah.”
Oh, god. Shikina’s going to get even worse…?
Rather, what’s this about confirming something? Confirmed what? What did you confirm?
No, let’s stop there. I really don’t want to hear about the boyfriend-having Sally-san doing something to the now-endowed Shikina.
“It’s strong enough that you’re better off restraining her until the effect ends.”
“Hahahah… I’ll consider it.”
By the way, I’ve only been face-to-face with Shikina and it one time since it appeared. She’s pretty much kept to being locked in her room since having Setsuna teach her how to use it. I have no idea what she’s doing. None.
Should I also add a lock to the outside of her room and seal her off entirely?
“However, you haven’t made a move on the lord’s daughter, nor on Shikina. That was a bit unexpected.”
“Oh, nothing. Nothing—nothing at all. Please pay me no mind.”
Well now that you’re talking to | 1,024 | 1 |

On reaching 300 WNBL games Batkovic commented “It’s an accomplishment that I’m extremely proud of after commencing my career as a 15-year-old. The WNBL has played an enormous role in my career- both internationally and domestically – and has allowed me to become the player that I am today.”3
During a 20 point win against Bendigo at home in Round 15 Batkovic earnt her seventh Team of the Week selection of the season and second in a row, scoring 28 points on 13 of 24 field goals at an accuracy of 54% and took 14 rebounds including four offensive.
In Round 17 Batkovic was named Player of the Week for the third time in 2016/17, performing superbly during Townsville’s road double wins against Dandenong and Bendigo. During the 14 point Saturday night win against Dandenong Batkovic scored a game-high 26 points and shot the ball superbly both from close range and long range, making eight of her 13 two-point attempts and two of her three three-pointers for a field goal accuracy of 62%. Batkovic took 11 rebounds and made four assists, ranked third for the Fire behind Wilson with seven and Murray with six. The following afternoon Townsville looked to be cruising to a comfortable victory, leading Bendigo 49-28 at half-time. In an amazing fightback Bendigo reduced the margin to just three points with 39 seconds remaining in the game. Suzy made six of six free-throws in the final 39 seconds of the Fire’s six point win. In 38 minutes and 55 seconds court-time Batkovic scored 31 points with a field goal accuracy of 52%, took seven rebounds and made four assists.
At the half-way point of the season Townsville had a record of five wins and seven losses and looked to be in serious danger of missing the finals however a strong finish to the season resulted in the Fire winning nine of their last 12 games to make the finals for a sixth consecutive season. Townsville finished in fourth position with 14 wins and 10 losses, four games behind minor premiers, the Sydney Uni Flames and one game behind the Jayco Rangers and Perth Lynx in second and third place respectively. Bendigo and Canberra remained in finals contention until late in the season and each recorded 13 wins and 11 losses.
Sydney comprehensively outplayed Townsville in game 1 of their semi final series at Brydens Sydney University Stadium on 25th February, after leading by 11 points at half-time Sydney dominated the third-term 38-14 and went on to comprehensively win 111-69. Game 2 at Townsville Stadium on 3rd March was much closer, with Sydney leading the Fire by seven points at three quarter-time. Two successful free-throws from Batkovic with three minutes and 11 seconds remaining reduced the margin to four points. From that point on Sydney outscored Townsville 14-3 to end the two-time defending WNBL Champions season.
Batkovic was one of the leading contenders for the WNBL’s 2016/17 Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and was expected to poll very strongly from Round 9 onwards. Perth shooting guard Sami Whitcomb who led the league for points and steals with 24.1 and 2.8 per game respectively and ranked in the top 10 for assists was the favourite for the award. On the Thursday after Townsville’s season concluded Batkovic was announced as the WNBL’s 2016/17 MVP and commented in a video on WNBL.com.au “I’m blown away and extremely honoured to win a fifth MVP. I was extremely honoured to sit level on four with Lauren, but to go out and win it a fifth time is extremely humbling. I was taken aback when I got the call – I was a little bit speechless.

You never go (into a season | ) thinking about it or trying to earn it, it’s just about playing consistently and doing what I can to help the team.” On Townsville’s 2016/17 season Batkovic commented “There were positives to take out of the season as well as some negatives [but] with a new coach and a pretty new team I thought we learnt a lot and now we have to build and keep working. This club is so professional on and off the floor and everyone is on the same page which is huge. I know this club inside out so I have no doubt the Fire will come back next year stronger and chase finals again.”
Batkovic was selected in the 2016/17 WNBL All-Star five, the sixth selection of her career, moving her to equal fifth on the all-time list for most selections with Jackson and Alison Cook, behind Rachael Sporn (8), Michelle Timms (7), Kristi Harrower (7) and Shelley Sandie (7).

Interestingly, it was initially believed that TSK would be a direct remake of the Akshay Kumar-Kajal Aggarwal starrer ‘Special 26. However, a source had soon revealed that only the core plot would be similar to that of the Neeraj Pandey directorial.
“The core plot of Special 26 has been adapted, and the makers have made a lot of changes in Suriya’s characterisation. He plays a CBI officer in the movie and the present schedule involves a lot of character artistes,” the source had added told a leading daily.

els. There’s an emphasis in Fleur’s description of how people mostly saw the work online and re-shared it, and ended up interpreting it very differently than the intention of the artist.
To put things into perspective Fleur van Muiswinkel is a curator that was trained at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam and went on to study at Goldsmiths in London, where, one can assume, the by now classical and also contested and overcome the concept of the ‘death of the author’ surely must have been brought up at least once. This is a concept that does away with the artist’s interpretation of the work and allows the audience to take center stage, offering a panoply of interpretations, based on their backgrounds.
Given the understanding that Fleur has about the dynamics of art, people can disagree with what is being shown, not everyone has to come to a mutual agreement, so when negative comments first came up, she wasn’t particularly worried.
The initial reactions that the skaters had online were, on the contrary, positive ones. But the presentation the skaters made of the work in the online sphere failed to advertise the content of the work, only counting on the spectacular nature of having large-scale prints on a skate park. What is also visible in the viral videos that the skaters posted when the work opened for the public is the sheer absence of women skaters.
Cut to Women Skate The World-representative Nanja van Rijsse trying to explain just what is wrong with having images of women’s faces plastered all over a skate park – an already women unfriendly space – and skated over by only young men. It begs the question: does this even need to be explained? But here we go!
Kessels tries to argue that he wanted to ‘work together’ with skaters to bring about decay in a natural way because this is what skaters are known for – taking over a space and gradually leaving their traces.
Nanja argues that this is what the skate world used to be in its infancy. The concept of ‘skate and destroy’ is brought up, and also making fun of women and making them feel unwelcomed in the skate world.
Enter Rachel Morón and Mechteld Jungerius, the initiators of WANAP and of the open letter which gathered over 3.000 signatures and led to the removal of the work Destroy My Face. They are asked if they have experienced the work in real. This has not been the case. But they do rightly argue that they were confronted with the visual teasers of the work posted by the artist, the festival reps, and taken over by newspapers when the work was reported about.
So Let’s Talk Content of the Work, and Let’s Talk Access to the Work
To begin with, this begs the question: isn’t there a break between what the artist thinks he’s saying and what the work ended up communicating when it was documented and shared? One can start from a clear intention – even if we can argue that the operational concept Kessels started from was outdated – but one cannot dictate the reading of a work if that reading is no longer of this time.
Furthermore, experiencing the work in person requires access to the work. It requires a festival ticket, a couple of train tickets to and from (as Nanja pointed out), depending on where one is located, maybe even plane tickets if we’re to go as far as that. Has anyone informed BredaPhoto, that at the time of display we were living in a pandemic? It might also require a corona test and 2 weeks of quarantine if one comes from far away enough.
I’m not sure Kessels or van Muiswinkel are familiar with the concept of gaslighting, but what they were doing by saying one can only experience the work in person if they want to have an opinion on it – which seems to be the operating concept in this documentary -, an opinion which should fall in line with one of the organizers, is a pure form of making one question one’s sanity.
There’s a work, there’s its visual representation, there’s its curatorial text, there’s the explanation from the artist, there are the multiple audience readings. Yet somehow only positive and well-intentioned readings are allowed.
The representation, text, and open letter against the work were spread on an international level through both the art world and the skate world, yet no other readings are considered valid, even though readings coming from outside of BredaPhoto are much more nuanced regarding why someone | els.

It’s like WANAP wrote their thesis on the work of Erik Kessels, and then the video cuts to Kessels stating that this is not what he intended and being almost offended that he is asked to give more nuance to his thinking. At a certain point in time during the documentary, Kessels states he’s not a politician. He’s allowed (one would deduce, as an artist) to freely play with concepts. But he has no intention to submit to talks of ethics, since – ‘art is free’?
Let’s Talk ‘Calling Out’
What is interesting in this dynamic is the fact that at this stage Erik Kessels is not ‘canceled’. The intention of WANAP when they made public their open letter, was not to go against the artist or the work itself but to address the organization of BredaPhoto which facilitated the work.
The open letter outlined 3 separate demands:
Remove the work and make a statement.
Be transparent with the community about each step taken with this work and what you will do to prevent this from happening again.
Take responsibility for the institution’s faults and fight for structural change. A climate needs to be created where criticism is not met with a default, defensive response but with reflexivity, accountability, and self-work.
Transition to Fleur van Muiswinkel stating that WANAP made demands about a work that they didn’t see with their own eyes, without first calling the artist, without calling BredaPhoto, which lead to her being scared. Immediate reaction: ‘Why is this happening to us and why like this?’
Further response: if you have a problem with something we programmed come talk to us. In a public ‘Artist talk’. This will be an event that we, as BredaPhoto are programming ignoring the fact that the open letter did not address Erik Kessels as an artist, but the organization of BredaPhoto, thereby not warranting an ‘Artist talk’.
Brief Mid-Way Conclusions
The concepts that Erik Kessels started from are outdated. The idea of ‘skate and destroy’ and the idea that women have massive plastic surgery as the norm, when things like botox, much more conspicuous, tend to take precedence. Or the motivation as to why women would undergo plastic surgery… On an additional level, both Kessels and the team of BredaPhoto seem to not understand the democratic mechanisms of social media and its impact on shaping public discourse. And the change between 10 years ago, when Kessels ascended as a superstar in the photo art world by producing work in which aesthetics topped ethics is also striking. If one is to look back at the work ’24hrs in photos’ from 2011, in which Kessels printed out 350.000 images off of Flickr – remember Flickr?! – without any particular care for their content, but with a sheer focus on their physical mass once printed, one would notice that we are ages away in terms of the discourse surrounding imagery.
Now, Back to the Documentary
The moment the open letter is brought into the discussion, there’s a clash and the assumptions of both sides are brought into sharp relief. WANAP operates on assuming an institution like BredaPhoto would like to perform institutional change if it is pointed out to them that they have an issue. This labor of love done through criticism, through taking the time to draft a petition, to engage and update a petition’s signatories list, this is manual labor and emotional labor that is necessary but never called for. But on the other hand, the institution of Breda Photo has operated for a long time without taking into account public criticism, most likely because there was no way for criticism to be so strongly embodied as it’s possible in 2020. In all this, an institution that never asked for critique, and never sought it, is not one that would enjoy sitting down and sifting through it.
As a result of the online movement of criticizing the work, Kessels, an active social media user, though one can wonder if he manages his account or if it’s a business account under his name, began being a target of online bullying. Hundreds of comments were posted on his Instagram framing him as a misogynist. Some were pointed, others, simply based on the violence | 1,024 | 1 |

An additional 6,000 jobs are associated with the importers and exporters that use the port to ship cargo. Over $14 billion worth of commodities moves through the port each year.
The Port of Palm Beach is the fourth busiest container port of Florida’s 14 deepwater ports and is the 18th busiest container port in the United States. In financial year 2018, the port moved over 292,304 20-foot container equivalent units.
The port also handles diesel fuel, molasses, liquid asphalt, and other bulk commodities. There is also substantial tonnage involved in the movement of heavy lift and project cargos. All of this happens in a port that has only 165 acres of land.
Unlike most ports in the United States, the Port of Palm Beach is an export port, with approximately 80% of its cargo being exported, with the subsequent improvement in the balance of trade. The majority of the exported cargo goes toward supporting the island nations of the Caribbean. The Port of Palm Beach supplies 60% of everything consumed in the Bahamas and is the essential lifeline to the rest of the Caribbean.
Existing Infrastructure
The Port of Palm Beach is the fourth busiest container port in Florida, and the eighteenth busiest in the continental U.S. In addition to intermodal capacity, the port is a major modal point for the shipment of bulk sugar (domestic usages), molasses, cement, utility fuels, water, produce, and breakbulk items.
Florida East Coast Railway Company
The Florida East Coast Railway Company (FEC) services the docks and piers through the port’s industrial rail switching operations. We are the only port facility in south Florida operating a rail system with pier-side box, hopper, and intermodal cars operating 24 hours a day. Located on port property are 6 miles of trackage for intermodal transfers and handling.
International Trade & Passenger Flow
All essential federal agencies with oversight for international trade and passenger flow are located in the Maritime Office Complex (MOC). A foreign Trade Zone (FTZ # 135) has been in operations since 1987. It encompasses several port and private sector sites.
Below is a list the sites under FTZ #135.
Palm Beach Cold Storage located on Port property
Team International Corporation located in West Palm Beach
Rybovich Marinas in West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach
There is one privately owned general purpose warehouse in Boca Raton, four privately owned warehouse sites in Martin County (near Stewart International Airport), and the Port of Palm Beach Cold storage terminal.
The port district views its mission as a proactive endeavor in the regional international trade community. Port users are encouraged to maximize the total infrastructure capabilities of the port district.
The Board of Commissioners and the management team have addressed the marketability as well as the implementation of projects needed to bring the port into the 21st century of port technology facilitating the export / import of goods from the county, region, and state.

With the popularity in recent years of the TV reboot series Cobra Kai, it’s always good to go back to revisit the original series of films – if for no other reason than to brush up on some of the characters who appear in Cobra Kai. Therefore, this first release on 4KUltra HD and Blu-ray of the first three Karate Kid films – The Karate Kid, The Karate Kid Part II and The Karate Kid Part III – is a nice way of catching up. And – at least in the case of the first film – it has much more to offer than that.
Technically this is not the complete Karate Kid lineup. There is a 5-movie collection released several years ago which is still available on DVD. That grouping also includes The Next Karate Kid (1994) in which Mr. Miyagi takes on a new student, a young girl played a then-unknown Hilary Swank. It also includes the awful 2010 reboot of the series with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan – and the less said about that film, the better. Neither of those films are really missed in this collection. In fact, an argument could be made about whether anyone will rewatch Part II and Part III more than once or twice.
However, I think it makes sense to limit this collection to the three films which feature Ralph Macchio as Danny LaRusso and Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, all of which were written by Robert Mark Kamen and directed by John D. Avildsen. (Only Morita was involved in the fourth film, and none of the original cast or crew took part in the reboot.)
Of course, the only truly good film of the trilogy (and the franchise) was the first one. The second film had its moments, but eventually tried so hard to up the stakes that it completely spun off the rails. The films are supposed to take place in about a year-long period, although the films took five years between the first and last one.
Even though it is rather predictable and not exactly Oscar-worthy, The Karate Kid deserves its status as a fan favorite feel-good film. It is the story about a scrawny Newark, NJ teen who moves cross country with his mother and quickly falls on the wrong side of the local bullies at his new high school – particularly their leader Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). Unfortunately, the bullies are star karate students, and they are beating Daniel up daily. When he finds out that his new apartment’s handyman, Mr. Miyagi knows karate and is willing to teach him, Daniel joins the local martial arts tournament to prove himself to the bullies.
And yes, despite the somewhat popular revisionist history which likes to paint Johnny as a misunderstood victim – as espoused in popular culture on Cobra Kai and How I Met Your Mother – Johnny is indeed a bully. You can make the argument that he was led astray by his sensei Kreese (Martin Kove). You can make the argument that his heart was broken by losing his ex-girlfriend Ali (Elisabeth Shue) and he took out his anger on her new boyfriend Daniel. Neither of those arguments would be completely wrong, but it is letting him off the hook way too easily. That does not change what he did and how he acted. Just | 1,024 | 1 |

Federal Constitutional Court - Press office -
Order of 21 July 2010 – 1 BvR 611/07, 1 BvR 24 | 64/07 –
Unequal Treatment of Marriage and Registered Civil Partnerships in
Gift and Inheritance Tax Act Unconstitutional
Pursuant to the provisions in §§ 15, 16, 17, and 19 of the Gift and
Inheritance Tax Act in the version dated 20 December 1996 from the 1997
Annual Tax Reform Act (Erbschaftsteuer- und Schenkungsteuergesetz a.F.
(a.F. – alte Fassung – former version) – ErbStG a.F.) registered civil
partners after creation of the legal institution of civil partnerships
in 2001, were significantly more burdened than spouses under inheritance
tax law.
While pursuant to §§ 15.1 and 19.1 ErbStG a.F. spouses were subject to
the most beneficial Tax Class 1 and, depending upon the amount of the
inheritance, were subject to a tax rate between 7 and 30 %, civil
partners were classified as “other recipients” and placed in Tax Class
III, which provides for tax rates of between 17 and 50 %. Moreover, §
16.1 no. 1 ErbStG a.F. granted spouses a personal exemption in the
amount of DM 600,000/€ 307,000 and § 17.1 ErbStG a.F. granted a special
exemption for retirement benefits in the amount of DM 500,000/€ 256,000.
On the other hand, registered civil partners, because of their placement
in Tax Class III, were only entitled to an exemption in the amount of DM
10,000/€ 5,200 (§ 16.1 no. 5, § 15.1 ErbStG a.F.). They were completely
excluded from the benefit of the tax exemption for retirement benefits.
In the Inheritance Tax Reform Act (Erbschaftsteuerreformgesetz) of 24
December 2008, the provisions described above in the Gift and
Inheritance Tax Act were amended to the benefit of registered civil
partners to the extent that the personal exemption and the exemption for
retirement benefits are determined in the same way for both inheriting
civil partners and spouses. Nevertheless, registered civil partners
continue to be treated like distant relatives and unrelated persons and
taxed at the highest tax rates. Pursuant to the Federal Government’s
draft legislation for the 2010 Annual Tax Reform Act of 22 June 2010,
complete equality for civil partners and spouses in the gift and
Inheritance tax law – also in regard to tax rates – is intended.
Complainant no. 1 is the sole heir of his male civil partner who passed
away in August 2001; complainant no. 2 is the heir of her female civil
partner who passed away in February 2002. In both cases the tax office
set the inheritance tax in accordance with a tax rate from Tax Class III
and granted the minimum exemption pursuant to § 16.1 no. 5 ErbStG a.F..
The lawsuits filed by the complainants against these decisions were
unsuccessful in the finance courts.
As to their constitutional complaints, the First Senate of the Federal
Constitutional Court decided that the inheritance tax law discrimination
against registered civil partners in comparison to spouses regarding the
personal exemption and the tax rate, as well as their exclusion from the
exemption for retirement benefits, is incompatible with the general
principle of equality (Article 3.1 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz – GG)).
The orders by the Federal Finance Court (Bundesfinanzhof) have been
reversed and the matters have been referred back to it for new
decisions. The legislature has until 31 December 2010 to enact a new
rule for those old cases affected by the Gift and Inheritance Tax Act,
former version, that removes the infringement on equality from the time
period between the effective date of the Act on the Termination of the

Their proof relied on showing the connectivity for an infinite family of graphs associated to Markoff triples modulo p for infinitely many primes p. In this talk we discuss what happens for the projective analogue of Markoff triples, that is surfaces W in P^1 x P^1 x P^1 cut out by the vanishing of a (2,2,2)-form that admit three non-commuting involutions and are fixed under coordinate permutations and double sign changes. Inspired by the work of B-G-S we investigate such surfaces over finite fields, specifically their orbit structure under their automorphism group. For a specific one-parameter subfamily W_k of such surfaces, we construct finite orbits in W_k(C) by studying small orbits that appear in W_k(F_p) for many values of p and k. This talk is based on joint work with E. Fuchs, J. Silverman, and A. Tran.

We investigate the $p$-adic monodromy of certain kinds of abelian varieties in $\mathcal{A}_{g}$ and prove a formal density theorem for the locus of deformations with big monodromy. Also, we prove that the small monodromy locus of the deformation space of a supersingular elliptic curve is $p$-adic nowhere dense. The approach is based on a congruence condition of $p$-divisible groups and transform of data between the Rapoport-Zink spaces and deformation spaces.

Edna Jones : The Kloosterman circle method and weighted representation numbers of positive definite quadratic forms
📅 Sep 28, 2022 3:10 PM - Uploaded by schrett ( 41 Views )
We develop a version of the Kloosterman circle method with a bump function that is used to provide asymptotics for weighted representation numbers of positive definite integral quadratic forms. Unlike many applications of the Kloosterman circle method, we explicitly state some constants in the error terms that depend on the quadratic form. This version of the Kloosterman circle method uses Gauss sums, Kloosterman sums, Salié sums, and a principle of nonstationary phase. If time permits, we may discuss a potential application of this version of the Kloosterman circle method to a proof of a strong asymptotic local-global principle for certain Kleinian sphere packings.

In turn the Hitchin fibration can be analyzed via the morphism g^{reg} ----> g//G from the regular elements of the Lie algebra, to the GIT quotient by the adjoint action. In trying to generalize this story by replacing the action of G on g by the action of G on some sufficiently nice variety M, we must replace the GIT quotient with what we call the regular quotient. This talk will look at the reasons for this, and the difference between the GIT and regular quotients in the case of G acting on G by conjugation (when the derived group of G is not simply connected), G acting on the commuting scheme, and G acting on the Vinberg monoid.
Rafah Hajjar Munoz : On the residually indistinguishable case of Ribet’s lemma
📅 Jun 27, 2022 9:55 AM - Uploaded by schrett ( 85 Views )
Ribet’s method describes a way to construct a certain extension of fields from the existence of a suitable modular form. To do so, we consider the Galois representation of an appropriate cuspform, which gives rise to a cohomology class that cuts out our desired extension. The process of obtaining a cohomology class from such a representation is usually known as Ribet’s lemma. Several generalizations of this lemma have been stated and proved during the last decades, but the vast majority of them makes the assumption that the representation is residually distinguishable, meaning that the characters of its residual decomposition are non-congruent modulo the maximal ideal. However, recent applications of Ribet’s method, such as for the proof of the 2-part of the Brumer-Stark conjecture, have encountered the challenge that the representation we obtain does not satisfy this assumption. In my talk, I describe the limitations of the residually indistinguishable case and conjecture a new general version of Ribet’s lemma in this context, giving a proof in some particular cases.
Evangelia Gazaki : Torsion phenomena for zero-cycles on a product of curves over a number field
📅 Apr 20, 2022 3:10 PM - Uploaded by schrett ( 142 Views )
For a smooth projective variety X over an algebraic number field a conjecture of Bloch and Beilinson predicts that the kernel of the Abel-Jacobi map of X is a torsion group. When X is a curve, this follows by the Mordell-Weil theorem. In higher dimensions however there is hardly any evidence for this conjecture. In this talk I will focus on the case when X is a product of smooth projective curves and construct infinitely many nontrivial examples that satisfy a weaker form of the Bloch-Beilinson conjecture. This relies on a recent joint work with Jonathan Love.

In New York, protesters have been holding meetings at various indoor spaces after tents and sleeping bags were banned from Zuccotti Park in mid-November. A police raid evicted protesters who had been sleeping there since Sept. 17. On Tuesday, metal barricades that had surrounded Zuccotti Park were removed, and about 300 demonstrators “re-Occupied” the park. Most left, though, as the night wore on. Ned Merrill was one of a handful of protesters around a day later. “We need to have a symbolic presence,” said Merrill, 52, a blanket draped over his shoulder.

Deputies said they appeared to be squatters who did not have a political motive. However, the house is covered in graffiti, including “no banks, no landlords” and “capitalism is exploitation.” Other encampments remain, including in Portland, Maine, and in Pittsburgh, where attorneys for the protesters argued in court Tuesday against eviction. The D.C. demonstrators have been permitted to stay despite a string of recent clashes that might have triggered eviction in cities less accustomed to large-scale protests. More than 30 protesters were arrested last month in McPherson Square after refusing to disassemble a makeshift wooden building they had erected in the middle of the night as a shed for the approaching winter. The building was torn down and removed. Days later, a demonstration shut down K Street —

But unlike other encampments on city or private property, the protesters are in federal parks — and enjoying special First Amendment protections as a result. The demonstrators at Freedom Plaza have received a permit to stay through the end of next month — some already have moved their demonstration indoors — and under National Park Service regulations, the McPherson Square protesters won’t need a permit if the crowd remains under 500 people. “There’s a very strong presumption and deference given to First Amendment free speech and, more specifically, political free speech,” said National Park Service spokesman Bill Line. There are signs of wariness. District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray, who was arrested in April while demonstrating in support of D.C. autonomy, initially supported the protesters, but has asked for federal
funds to reimburse the city for Occupy-related costs. He said law-breaking won’t be tolerated and that the protesters’ cause is appearing muddled. “It certainly has the patience wearing thin of those in the city and, to the extent that they’ve been able to express what their cause is, I don’t think it helps their cause,” Gray said. U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican and chairman of the Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, has demanded answers from the Interior Department about why the protesters have been permitted to stay so long. He says they have damaged or destroyed McPherson Square upgrades, including new grass and refurbishments, paid for with stimulus funds.

Retired brigadier general’s long journey with alcoholism ■■Veteran’s
home life spun out of control for years
By Mitch Weiss Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Retired Brigadier General Stanley Cherrie flew into machine gun fire, lost a leg to a land mine and directed tanks against Iraqi forces in his long Army career. When he walked into a reunion of top brass looking shaky and then collapsed, another side of his military life was revealed: Years of hard drinking had grown into alcoholism that nearly killed him. Cherrie’s breakdown in front of his comrades, who had gathered to mark the 20th anniversary of Operation Desert Storm, triggered his turn to rehabilitation from a habit that started a generation earlier. Now the man who commanded troops in Kuwait and Bosnia despite the prosthetic leg he got in Vietnam is sharing his story, in part as an example for a new cohort of soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. “I always knew I drank too much. In retrospect, I was the poster boy. If you wanted to build a functional alcoholic, you would follow my model,” said Cherrie, 69, speaking for the first time about his struggle. The turning point came at a reunion of officers who planned Operation Desert Storm, the 1990 military campaign that ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s invading forces from Kuwait. Minutes after sitting down to eat, Cherrie collapsed at the table. The Army’s highest-ranking doctor, Surgeon General Eric Schoomaker, was on hand and treated Cherrie before an ambulance whisked him to a nearby emergency room. At the hospital, Cherrie’s daughter asked to speak to Schoomaker in private. Then she disclosed a family secret: Her father was an alcoholic, and years of drinking had taken a toll. It was the beginning of Cherrie’s long journey back to sobriety from a thirst that began in Vietnam, where the young officer stepped on a land mine that blew apart his right leg, right hand and part of his left heel. Despite the injury, Cherrie managed to stay in the military at a time when disabled soldiers were routinely discharged. He worked his way up the ranks to command troops in Desert Storm and later Bosnia. As he comes to grips now | 1,024 | 1 |

How can challenge help us to grow? Learn how resilience at individual, team and organizational levels can help turn crisis into opportunity.
There’s no doubting that we’ve all been tested over the past 12 months and taking time to reflect on personal and organisational resilience is vital.
In 2021 the University of Exeter would like to help businesses across Cornwall explore what resilience means to them. We would like to make this both impactful and fun, so our sessions will now involve our delegates using LEGO®! This is a proven concept designed to help you to explore more in-depth topics using the bricks as a way to construct thoughts and ideas relating to business strategy.
LEGO® Group has been inspiring children to ‘build their dreams’ for decades and this session aims to help you and your colleagues build visions for future business strategy.
The first session on 25th Feb will help you understand what resilience is and how it could be implemented in your business. We will cover the below themes in a two hour bite size session led by Professor Stefano Pascucci, from the Business School.
The second session on 4th March follows up on these themes using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® a methodology that is built upon a process which stems from the heart of LEGO® elements and the LEGO® building system. Each delegate will receive a LEGO® set through the post and across this two hour session we will be challenging you to build, share and reflect on key themes discussed by Professor Stefano Pascucci.
The two sessions will be informal and an opportunity to gain an understanding of the value of employees and the concept of an evolving, adaptive strategy that includes using LEGO® elements as three-dimensional models to visualise business issues and challenges.
Do something different this month and join us to play with LEGO® and build your resilience.

North Korea’s teen footballers and the road to peace
What does it take to help bring the Korean peninsula back from the brink of war? It turns out that there are two key ingredients: soccer and soju.
Last December, as US President Donald Trump was threatening Pyongyang with fire and fury and Kim Jong-un was describing the US president as a “dotard”, others were looking for opportunities to ease the rising tensions.
Choi Moon-soon, the governor of Gangwon province, hoped he could give sports diplomacy a chance.
His region sits on the border with North Korea and he describes it as one of the last divided provinces in the world. Gangwon was also getting ready to welcome countries from across the world to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. But there was one key country missing – South Korea’s neighbour.
Mr Choi wondered what he could do to change this. His next move was a long shot but it paid off.
He travelled to the Ari Sports Cup which on that occasion was being held in Kunming, China.
It is an under-15 football tournament which started in 2014 and is organised by the Inter-Korean Sports Exchange Association.
It had been cancelled earlier in the year after Pyongyang tested a number of ballistic missiles. However, Mr Choi realised this was one of the only diplomatic channels left open to the two Koreas.
“Even when North and South relations were at their worst, this was the only method of exchange that went on,” he told me.”So we used this last thread of communication between the two countries to ask North Korea to come and take part in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.”
He met with Mun Ung, a vice-minister-level official who heads a North Korean Athletic Committee.
I asked what went on behind the scenes. He wouldn’t give too much away but laughed and said that the informal talks had been fuelled by lots of soju – a rice liquor popular across both Koreas.
Mr Choi hoped that his invitation to take part in the Winter Olympics would be passed to higher ranking ministers in North Korea.
It went higher than many could have hoped.
Kim Jong-un announced in his New Year’s speech that he hoped to send a large delegation to the Games.
‘See you soon in Pyongyang’
A few months later Mr Choi was there to see the two Korea’s march together at the Opening Ceremony.
“I was in awe, proud and emotional when the unified Korean team came into the stadium during the opening ceremony waving unification flags. The current peace atmosphere was created by that moment. I hope we can create more of these small but meaningful events.”
Mr Choi has since travelled to Pyongyang and met with Kim Jong-un.
But this week he is back on the sidelines of the football field. The Ari Sports Tournament has come to Gangwon province.
Once again, Mr Choi and Mr Mun are side by side watching their teams play. One wonders what messages may be heading north this time. They were certainly giving nothing away.
As for the match, North Korea won 3-1 and looked the stronger team throughout.
North Koreas Rhee Il-song spoke to us after the game. This is his first time on South Korean soil. “Now that I’ve come here it’s not even that far. I hope in the future we can come and go more often and build friendships.”
The South Korean player Kim Ga-on added to that.
“It was very emotional at the end when we were running together and I hoped we could unify soon so that can we can | 1,024 | 1 |

Appellant owns for use in its business about 100 pieces of equipment consisting of trucks and tractors with manufacturer's rated capacity of a ton and a half and two tons and trailers having factory weight of 4,000 pounds. If used to haul not for hire, the tax on each ton-and-a-half motor vehicle is $15; on each two | -ton vehicle, $30; and on each trailer, $30. But when used to haul either as a common or contract carrier for hire, the taxes are respectively, $50, $75, and $50. § 3.
For the collection of tax on one of appellant's two-ton trucks, the state revenue commission obtained from the superior court of Fulton County an execution on which it caused the sheriff to levy upon that vehicle. Appellant gave a bond to the sheriff with an affidavit of illegality.4 In order to avoid seizure of all of appellant's equipment, the state commission allowed it to deposit in escrow the amount claimed under the Act on account of other equipment and agreed that levy should be made only on the one truck. The commission demurred; the superior court sustained the demurrer and dismissed the affidavit. The supreme court affirmed. 186 Ga. 228, 197 S.E. 887.
In addition to the description of appellant's equipment, operations, and use of Georgia highways given above, the statements of the affidavit of illegality, so far as concerns the issues here to be decided, may be summarized as follows:
The Act directs that upon payment of the maintenance tax the director of the motor vehicles division of the state commission shall issue a tag (§ 9), and that the money derived from the sale of these tags shall be allocated to the United States rural postal roads division of the Georgia highway department. § 11. Thus, no part of it is applicable to highways over which appellant operates. The maintenance taxes on its equipment for each year will be about $6,000. In addition, the Georgia laws require it to pay $3 for a license tag5 and $25 for a public service tag6 for each vehicle and six cents per gallon of gasoline purchased in Georgia;7 it annually buys in that State about 90,000 gallons. Two-thirds of the gasoline tax is for maintenance of state aid highways.8 Appellant hauls in seven States; annually its trucks travel an average of 6,870,000 miles of which 725,000, less than 11 per cent of the total, are in Georgia. The 1936 total taxes collected by Georgia amounted to $30,058,092.68, of which motor vehicles bore $19,207,909.59 in license and fuel taxes.
In conclusion, the affidavit asserts that the tax in question is an unreasonable fee for appellant's use of the roads and is therefore repugnant to the commerce clause, and that it discriminates against carriers for hire in favor of carriers not for hire and for that reason violates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, U.S.C.A.Const.
1. Is the Act repugnant to the commerce clause?
With exceptions not material here, it requires that all who own or have exclusive right to use for more than 30 days a motor bus, truck,9 or trailer 'shall pay a maintenance tax for the operation * * * upon and over the public roads of this State' (§ 1) according to a schedule (§ 3) which specifies the amount of the tax on each vehicle. The Act makes no distinction between vehicles used in intrastate commerce and those used in interstate commerce. It discriminates in favor of equipment used not for hire. It lays upon trucks and tractors taxes graduated according to manufacturer's rated capacities and upon trailers amounts graduated according to factory weights. The tax imposed on appellant is the same as if it operated exclusively in intrastate commerce of carried on both intrastate and interstate transportation.
It is elementary that a State may not impose a tax on the privilege of engaging in interstate commerce. Sprout v. South Bend, 277 U.S. 163, 171, 48 S.Ct. 502, 504, 72 L.Ed. 833, 62 A.L.R. 45; Interstate Transit, Inc., v. Lindsey, 283 U.S. 183, 185, 51 | 1,024 | 1 |
innovative concepts to create new products. They “create beauty products for a beautiful life” by making products that support a busy life.
These seven companies from the 2017 Best Under a Billion List know the importance of collaborating to achieve innovation and focusing on serving their customer base. Though the seven companies are from a diverse mix of industries from manufacturing to fast-moving consumer goods to IT and technology, they have common qualities. They are customer-focused and innovative. Key words like ‘innovation’ and ‘continuous improvement’ appear in many of the mission statements in their companies’ websites.
Their strong sense of purpose in what they are trying to achieve is also present in their mission statements. For example, MYEG Services’ focuses on improving quality of life. IGG’s goal is to become a global player in gaming. Meanwhile, Start Today’s prioritises using technology to scientifically define and predict fashion. Lastly, Shanghai RAAS’ uses the innovation chain in the blood products industry.
EY and Harvard Business Review found in a study, The Business Case for Purpose[iii], that companies with a strong sense of purpose are able to transform and innovate better. The study explains that when it comes to purpose, companies tend to be in one of three categories: prioritisers, developers and laggards. Not surprisingly, prioritisers have an advantage and not just with business results. The study also found that companies that are prioritisers are able to connect purpose and innovation and get results specifically in strategy development and evolving the business or operating model. Research shows that having a purpose yields higher profits.
To earn your first billion, focus not on this goal, but on your customers and product first. The revenue will come naturally enough. The main focus of our language arts is always reading -- both independently and aloud together. I really feel there's no better way to increase your vocabulary, learn about the eloquence of language. We talk about what we read, we memorize poetry and all that. But since we have some standardized testing coming up, we're doing some more formal language arts review (thus all the worksheets). A quick, straightforward sheet seems to work best for LD (though we've never particularly been "worksheet" homeschoolers if you know what I mean).
So, if anyone's interested here is the sheet I made to review some of the capitalization rules. The blanks are for the kids to write in examples. For instance, "Titles such as..." Mr. Mrs. Dr. I'm playing around with inserting images and have a summer theme happening!

The kids all know it now, but I still like to review it each class. Also, the kids from the three-year old music class usually join in for the first part of class before they lose interest and go play, so ED is starting to know the continents too!

We are learning the countries and capitals of South America with the help of this | video. The kids try to sing along as best they can. I have the capitals and countries written out, but the kids are only five so don't read well. We just fumble along best we can!
I got the South American country flags (free) from Montessori Materials.
*South American cookie map project: Instead of the same ole pin map, we made a South America cookie (one per child) with five country flags (just five from the song), chocolate chip Andes Mountains and one long, blue piece of Amazon spaghetti for the river!
*We did the Mexican Hat Dance and the kids practiced dancing with their heels touching the floor. They did an impressive job. Even our 3-yr old friend managed to do it!
*We have been acting out the story of Don Gato (a Mexican folk tale); we've been acting it out with instruments. Next week I may use the book Señor Don Gato : a traditional song, which I borrowed from the library.
*We also might sing the song (sheet music here) and the lyrics in English and Spanish can be found at kididdles.com or by searching the web. A youtube version (with cute video) can be found here.
*We played a cute Mexican circle game called A Guanchilopostle where one child is in the middle, the rest hold hands and circle round him/her. On the chorus, the one in the middle dances while the others clap. Then he/she closes his/her eyes to choose another to be in the middle. Lyrics, MP3 recording can be found at mamalisa.com.
The mosquitoes hold hands and circle the toad. They change directions every verse. When the song comes to an end, the toad tries to catch one of the mosquitoes.
I've been trying to pull out a few photos which highlight some of our activities this year (and in general). You'll notice them in the sidebar to the right. If you're interested in seeing more you can click on the photo and that will bring up posts from that particular unit.
We had many amazing friends over there. We found out last week that one family we are particularly close to is going to move to the same town as us! Hooray!
This is pretty typical scenery. This was taken on a camping trip along a dry river bed.
We always wore hats and often wore fly nets when we went hiking or camping because the flies were so bad.
This is a thorny devil.
We used to go feed the wallabies behind a local motel all the time (about once a month). You could by food for a dollar and the rock wallabies would feed out of your hand.
This beautiful place is called Simpson's Gap. I used to do a lot of mountain biking and when I was training for mountain bike races I would ride my bike out there (roughly 20km each way).
This is a Galah (ga-law). They are pretty, but make an awful squawking noise especially since they fly and feed in flocks.
We had bird seed out on our fence and attracted lots of birds including galahs above and Port Lincoln Ring-necked Parrots (below). Port Lincolns are often seen together as a pair.
I took the kids hiking at Standley Chasm all the time (above and below). The chasm was awesome looking at noon when the light came straight down.
Each year there were camel races in town. They were great fun to watch and a big tourist attraction.
This is a redback. We had them all around our house. Ugh. They are related to the black widow and they are venomous.
The kids loved the Reptile Centre because you could hold the lizards and one of their (non-venomous) snakes. This is a blue-tongued lizard.
Little ED feeding and an emu.
LD has been reviewing his punctuation and capitalization rules this past week or so. Here's a new sheet he did about our family holiday a year or so ago (or go to my downloads page). The playground we went to was amazing!! The kids still talk about this playground.
You probably won't care that much about LD's worksheet, but I bet some will be amazed by this public playground! I'll put in a bigger photo of the slides below.

the carvers are remarkably free from conventions in handling wood, as they are wise in respecting the requirements of its grain and tensile strength and skilled in the use of their tools. Their astonishing and sometimes grotesque combinations of figures and forms are surely imaginative interpretations related to traditional lore and not fantasy alone, however much individuality the sculptor may introduce. Inert ebony is given life in their hands in forms expressing profound biological relations, the hierarchy of the family, fearsome combinations of human with animal shapes, especially the bird and the snake, and even the realms of magic and sorcery.
In the words of Izaak Wirszup who has lived with this sculpture that he loves, “the Makonde’s is a humane art, expressing the dynamism and cyclic transformation of life, and giving sensitive interpretations which range over the whole scale of human emotions: from the tragic, cruel and frightening, to the gay and humorous.”
It is to be hoped that modern Makonde sculptors will have the coveted freedom to develop their art with a minimum of economic and cultural interference and direction. East African governments are taking some much-needed measures to preserve and encourage native arts and customs. Yet even the highly original and independent Makonde artists face the danger of having their best pieces reproduced and bowdlerized by dealers, to the detriment of artistic integrity and also to the sculptors’ financial ruin and eventual discouragement. So real is this danger that it could put a stop to these young workers, which makes it all the more important to bring their art to attention through exhibitions such as this one.
The Renaissance Society acknowledges with gratitude the generosity of Izaak and Pera Wirszup who have made their collection available for this pioneering exhibition.

Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are resected human tumors engrafted into mice for preclinical studies and therapeutic testing. It has been proposed that the mouse host affects tumor evolution during PDX engraftment and propagation, affecting the accuracy of PDX modeling of human cancer. Here, we exhaustively analyze copy number alterations (CNAs) in 1,451 PDX and matched patient tumor (PT) samples from 509 PDX models. CNA inferences based on DNA sequencing and microarray data displayed substantially higher resolution and dynamic range than gene expression-based inferences, and they also showed strong CNA conservation from PTs through late-passage PDXs. CNA recurrence analysis of 130 colorectal and breast PT/PDX-early/PDX-late trios confirmed high-resolution CNA retention. We observed no significant enrichment of cancer-related genes in PDX-specific CNAs across models. Moreover, CNA differences between patient and PDX | 1,024 | 1 |

Latest round of participatory budgeting sees $50,000 awarded for newcomer initiatives
Don Descoteau
Seven community-led projects voted on by the public are getting a combined $50,000 from the City of Victoria, after the latest round of the participatory budgeting process.
Falling under the general theme of initiatives that benefit newcomers – immigrants and refugees who have settled in Victoria – the seven winning projects were chosen from a record 26 applicants. The projects brought forward for voting were vetted by a volunteer steering committee, then more than 2,500 residents made their choices online.
“A community-led participatory budgeting takes dedication and is the sign of a very healthy democracy and a community that cares about its newcomers,” said Victoria Coun. Sharmarke Dubow, a former Somalian refugee who has experience serving refugee and immigrant populations here.

“We can’t wait to see these seven projects come to life in 2021. I expect they will have meaningful impacts on many newcomers to our city.”
Earning $30,000 to develop a bystander intervention training program was the Inter-Cultural Association’s Tools for Equity. The program aims to combat racism and create safe, inclusive communities by teaching practical ways to support people of colour.
The Support Network for Indigenous Women and Women of Colour will receive $10,000 to develop an “anti-racist and culturally competent healthcare app.” The multi-language app aims to improve health outcomes for newcomers by offering a list of culturally sensitive providers and a reporting feature to share their healthcare experience.
Smaller grants went to Planting Home ($2,000) for offering 500 free, culturally appropriate plant starts to newcomers and refugees; Financial Literacy for YOU ($1,580) for youth financial literacy training; Being Together and Being Here: Newcomer Integration Through Indigenous Partnership and Education ($1,943), a youth program that promotes learning and builds relationships between newcomers and Indigenous community groups; Culturally Safe Intake for Rock Bay Landing Shelter ($1,930), to accommodate multicultural, non-English speaking clients, and Coming Home to the Garden: Sustainability Workshops and Resources for Newcomers ($1,566).

Smaller grants went to Planting Home ($2,000) for offering 500 free, culturally appropriate plant starts to newcomers and refugees; Financial Literacy for YOU ($1,580) for youth financial literacy training; Being Together and Being Here: Newcomer Integration Through Indigenous Partnership and Education ($1,943), a youth program that promotes learning and builds relationships between newcomers and Indigenous community groups; Culturally Safe Intake for Rock Bay Landing Shelter ($1,930), to accommodate multicultural, non-English speaking clients, and Coming Home to the Garden: Sustainability Workshops and Resources for Newcomers ($1,566).

COVID-19 outbreak declared at seniors’ care home in Nanaimo Osinbajo Warns Nigerians, Reveals Why PDP Wants To Come Back To Power
May 5, 2018 medratimes News, Politics 0
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of plotting a return to power so as to resume treasury looting, The Nation has reported.
Osinbajo who described the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government as well-focused and determined to lift the country said the Buhari administration had performed better in three years than PDP did in 16 years.
Vice President Osinbajo spoke in Akure, the Ondo State capital, during a vist to inaugurate Small and Medium Scale Enterprises Clinic (MSME). He also visited the Deji of Akure Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi.
The VP described those pushing for the ouster of the the Buhari administration as the corrupt who wanted to reclaim government at all costs in order to return the contry to corrupt ways.
He said the argument that nobody had been put to jail on the account of corruption could not hold water, saying: “We will continue to put them on trial even if the courts have not put them into jail”
He urged Nigerians to continue their support for the APC- led federal government in its quest to address the challenges confronting the nation.
He noted that the government had committed N1.3 trillion to infrastructural development since it came on board three years ago.
He said: “This government wants to be honest with the people. The difference between us and the previous governments is that we are not stealing public fund.
“We are able to achieve this because we are spending what we have for the people.We have spent over N1.3trillion on infrastructure to better the lives of Nigerians.
“They promised Lagos-Kano rail line, they did not do it. We earn less than they did, we are doing it. Look at the Lagos-Ibadan rail line, they had much money, they did not do it, we are doing it. Look at the Lagos -Ibadan Expressway, we are doing it.
“We shall continue to arrest these who stole the nation’s money. They said we have not been able to convict anybody, we are not bothered; we shall continue to arrest and prosecute them. Let the cases remain in court.
“The corruption is desperately fighting back so that they can come back to into power. God will not make it possible”.
On the MSME prgramme, Osinbajo said N80billion out of the budgetted N500 billion had been spent on the programme despite the paucity of fund coming into the coffers of the government.
According to him, additional 300,000 people would be employed into the N-Power, with 200,000 people already in the scheme.
At the palace of Oba Aladelusi, Osinbajo commended the monarch for his show of love at all times and promised that government was determined to fulfill promises made particularly the actualisation of a Teaching Hospital in Akure.
He told the monarch that the government was also working very hard to fix the blackout being experienced by the people of the southern senatorial district of the state.
The VP said the MSME’s clinic in Akure became necessary in ensuring that small businesses grow tremendously. He described it as a way to revitalize Nigeria’s economy.
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu said the programme underscored the determination of the Federal Government to drive the country’s economy towards self-reliance, using this platform, as a delivery tool for development.
The governor noted that there could be no better demonstration of serious commitment on the part of the government than this direct involvement at the highest level of authority.

Griffin Gilman March 1st, 2020 - 5:49 PM
During PAX East, Bethesda released a twenty minutes of the up coming Wastelanders patch for the MMO, Fallout 76. Wastelanders will be free and is coming to the game on April 7th, which is the same date Fallout 76 will be coming to Steam. “We get to go back to one of the strengths of Bethesda, the conversations, we’re trying to connect with you, with human beings, with emotions. Trying to give you a real impetus for why you’re doing the things you’re doing.” Baudoin said, a developer of Fallout 76 and a member of the panel presenting Wastelanders.
Along with lead designer Ferret Baudoin, the panel was comprised of developers of Fallout 76 and Wastelanders such as design director Mark Tucker. Wastelanders is intended to change the gameplay loop of Fallout 76 from exploration and looting scrap materials to a gameplay style that more closely resembles that of previous entries. The most important addition of Wastelanders is the addition of NPCs to the game. NPCs will now be doting around the campaign, they will now be passing on vital bits of information, instead of holotapes, or audio recordings which were the previous method. This comes with full conversations, which a player’s charisma rating will partially dictate how the encounter will play out.
“Before, we were doing a lot of interesting quests for characters that had effectively died before you came through, now you get to see these characters, interact with them, and there’s some very memorable ones in the line-up,” Tucker commented. The gameplay demo, rested heavily on exploration, showing off the new NPCs and their impact on the game. Some settlements were shown with NPC human vendors, along with roaming caravans of brahmin and traders.
Fallout 76 has been plagued with controversies, ranging from a game that was received as underwhelming, Fallout 1st, to a prevalence of hacks and exploits that Bethesda has be claim to be slow to respond to. Wastelanders is the final update in a three part roadmap, that is intended to complete Fallout 76’s experience.

© 2023 - CorporateVerify.com Everton: Rafa Benitez must unleash Fabian Delph against Chelsea
by George Cannon share
3 minute read 16/12/2021 | 05:03pm
Everton will be aiming to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last time out when they take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in their Premier League clash this evening.
A spirited 2-1 victory over Arsenal ended the Toffees’ eight-game winless run, but they failed to build on that over the weekend as the usual dose of disappointment soon returned.
It’s been a hugely underwhelming campaign for Rafa Benitez’s charges so far, with injuries playing a significant part in their recent run of disappointing results and performances.
Should Delph start against Chelsea?
Yes, definitely!
The likes of Richarlison, Allan and Andros Townsend have joined Dominic Calvet-Lewin, Yerry Mina and Tom Davies on the treatment table, leaving Everton extremely short of options throughout the pitch.
Conte had a deadline day blunder at Hotspur Way on "perfect" £40k-p/w Spurs maestro - opinion
As a result, Benitez is likely to call upon his more experienced stars to get him through this tough period, and one of those who is expected to be relied upon is Fabian Delph.
After arriving on Merseyside back in July 2019, the former England international has failed to showcase his best form on a consistent basis for the Blues.
Fitness woes have hampered Delph’s ability to affect games in an Everton shirt, but he regularly did so at Manchester City, becoming a key player for Pep Guardiola throughout their title-winning 2017/18 campaign.
The £92k-per-week earner illustrated his versatility by filling in at left-back for the Citizens, earning praise for his consistency and reliability despite the difficult circumstances.
“It is not easy when you play in different positions, but he has,” said Guardiola. “There is always room for the team to improve, but Fabian is always a banker for us – and the other players know it.”
Can you beat this impossible Everton quiz?! Starting off easy...
Theo Walcott
Djibril Sidibe
Ademola Lookman
And now Benitez must call upon Delph’s leadership qualities, ability to adapt, and track record of stepping up to the mark when called upon.
With so many first-team players unavailable, Everton will need to grind out positive results over the coming weeks even if they’re unable to play to the best of their ability, and having someone as resilient as Delph on their side will help them do exactly that. He may just lead a mini-revival at Goodison too.

Person im Ersten Weltkrieg (Deutsches Reich) Rolf Steimke (* 12. April 1963 in Bremen) ist ein deutscher Autor, der unter dem Pseudonym R. S. Stone hauptsächlich historische Westernromane schreibt, die vor allem in Kleinverlagen veröffentlicht wurden.
Biografie
Steimke schrieb bereits im Alter von 14 Jahren seine ersten Wildwest- und Abenteuergeschichten, stark beeinflusst von seinen großen Vorbildern Ernest Haycox, Wayne D. Overholser, Les Savage, Luke Short und Gordon D. Shirreffs.
2001 erschien sein erster Roman Abrechnung in Sheela Valley, es folgten Walkers Rückkehr, Sterben in Medicine Bow und Die Hand am Colt. Die ersten drei Romane sind im EPLA-Verlag erschienen, der Western Die Hand am Colt 2004 im Taschenwestern-Verlag J. R. Wiemer.
Von 2008 bis 2011 erschienen zahlreiche Westernromane im Eigenverlag DaCoGo, zunächst die ersten Bände als Hardcoverversionen, danach als Taschenbuchausgaben. Später als Kindle-Versionen. Seit 2012 schreibt Stone neue Westernromane für den Martin-Kelter-Verlag.
Der Autor führt ein Online-Versand-Antiquariat in der Nähe von Bremen.
Er ist seit 2004 verheiratet und hat eine Tochter und zwei Söhne.
Stil des Autors
Der Stil des Autors erinnert stark an die Western amerikanischer Autoren der frühen 1950er und 1960er Jahre, an die sich sowohl die Handlungen, Personen- und Landschaftsbeschreibungen sowie auch die harte Action einiger damals führender Autoren würdig anschließt. Dabei bedient er sich einer knappen, realistischen Sprache und legt Wert auf markante Dialogführungen, wobei er sich deutlich von der sexgeladenen Schiene zahlreicher Groschenromane abhebt.
Derzeit arbeitet der Autor an einer Reihe, die sich mit den großen Viehauftrieben nach 1866 beschäftigt, als wagemutige Männer in Texas herrenloses Vieh aufsammelten und es zu den Märkten in Kansas und Missouri trieben. Der Protagonist dieser Reihe ist der Trailboss Nolan Harper, ein harter, sturer und unnachgiebiger Mann, dessen Figur sehr jener des Gil Favor (dargestellt von Eric Fleming) aus der Serie Rawhide (1959–1965) ähnelt.

• As women, we overtax ourselves trying to fill roles we weren’t designed to operate in. If we are indeed the only parent in our child’s life, then of course there are actions we must do. But we can do them while acknowledging that as a woman, there will be something missing because we are not a man.
• Sometimes people and resources that could fill some gaps in our child’s life go untapped because we believe that we are indeed mother and father. Simply put, we don’t look for what we feel we haven’t lost.
2. Mothers and fathers both need to determine if they’re really putting the needs of their children first. I know this one is challenging. So much hurt and pain often passes between parents that our emotional baggage piles up on our sons and daughters, and we often don’t realize what’s happening. When fathers are absent or uninvolved, it causes an incredible strain on everyone involved, including grandparents, siblings, and other extended family members.
But the strain is equally damaging when mothers are hostile, resistant, or overstressed. Let’s commit to being better parents. We must ask ourselves some tough questions, for example:
• Am I willing to let the other parent perform his/her role in the way he/she wants to and is able to? Or do I insist that my child’s father/mother parent like I do?
• Do I pray for my child’s mother/father, that they will be the parent my child needs? Or have I made it difficult to pray because I have unresolved issues that I can’t let go of?
• Do I consistently support the other parent’s efforts, no matter how small I think they are? Or do I instead focus on what I believe the other parent leaves undone?
• Do I make every reasonable effort to overcome obstacles that challenge me as I try to be a good parent? Or am I making excuses for why I’m not taking care of business?
• Do I accept constructive criticism and feedback from the other parent on how I could make our relationship and interactions as parents healthier, and then work diligently, and without resentment, to address those issues? Or am I more interested in being right and winning arguments?
• Do I have a martyr complex? Do I find reasons to refuse help so that my child will see me as the better, more committed parent, and therefore shower more love on me? Or am I actively seeking the other parent’s input and suggestions with a true intention to work with him/her?

There are, of course, many more questions that will give us insight on the position of our hearts.

Queens work injury lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/work-injury-lawyer/) releases a new article that discusses workers' compensation benefits and how to file a claim after an injury at work. The lawyer mentions that workplace accidents can impact someone’s life significantly and could cause them to not be able to provide for their loved ones.
According to the new article from the Queens work injury lawyer, there are benefits available to victims of workplace accidents. While financial compensation is available for the victims, it is often advised to seek the help of an experienced work injury lawyer in order to receive the best compensation possible.
Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez also says, “After a workplace accident, there are two possible sources of compensation for your injuries. These are through a workers’ compensation claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Unfortunately, these are not always easy to navigate on your own without a skilled lawyer.”
In the article, attorney Sanchez explains the limitations of workers’ compensation benefits. The lawyer says that while the victim | enough.

Queens work injury lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez (https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/work-injury-lawyer/) releases a new article that discusses workers' compensation benefits and how to file a claim after an injury at work. The lawyer mentions that workplace accidents can impact someone’s life significantly and could cause them to not be able to provide for their loved ones.
According to the new article from the Queens work injury lawyer, there are benefits available to victims of workplace accidents. While financial compensation is available for the victims, it is often advised to seek the help of an experienced work injury lawyer in order to receive the best compensation possible.
Attorney Keetick L. Sanchez also says, “After a workplace accident, there are two possible sources of compensation for your injuries. These are through a workers’ compensation claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Unfortunately, these are not always easy to navigate on your own without a skilled lawyer.”
In the article, attorney Sanchez explains the limitations of workers’ compensation benefits. The lawyer says that while the victim | is entitled to receive their benefits, they also waive the right to hold their employer accountable for any of their injuries and damages. In addition to that, they will also be required to seek treatment from a medical provider that is approved by the Workers’ Compensation Board and not their own physician.
Furthermore, work injury lawyer Keetick Sanchez says that someone may be compensated for their injuries, medical costs, or even family death benefits in the case of a fatality. However, workers’ compensation benefits will not be able to cover non-economic costs such as pain and suffering or emotional distress.
The lawyer also adds that if someone is injured at work, they would want to pursue all the possible sources of compensation for their injuries. If the employer has valid workers’ compensation insurance in place, the victim may not be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against them. However, if the employer doesn’t or if the accident was caused by a third party, then it is possible to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes that if someone is involved in a workplace accident, it is important that they seek the help of an experienced work injury lawyer to help them receive their compensation.

The Most Unexpectedly Religious Film of the Year
**SPOILER ALERT! Article contains many spoilers about the film**
I went to see A Quiet Place, John Krasinski’s new thriller, with absolutely no anticipation of finding theological or spiritual themes. I just wanted a fun evening at the movies. How wonderful when a film surprises you! I don’t know if I can find the golden thread that draws all of these themes together into a coherent message, but I think one would have to be blind not to see a number of religious motifs in this absorbing film.
The basic structure of the narrative is laid out in simple, deft strokes. We learn that a terrible plague of fierce, devouring creatures has descended on the earth. Where are the monsters from? Outer space, maybe? We’re never told—which makes the story more compelling. The few people who have survived the holocaust have learned that the creatures, though blind, are extraordinarily acute of hearing. Therefore, the key to survival is silence. Our attention becomes focused on the Abbot family, two youthful parents and three small children, making their quiet way through a beautiful but dangerous open country. When the youngest of the kids flips a switch on his toy rocket, causing buzzing sound to pierce the silence, one of the beasts devours him just before his terrified father can save him.
We flash-forward several months later, and we watch the Abbots (can the name have possibly been accidental?) going about their lives in what could only be characterized as a monastic manner: no conversations above a whisper, elaborate sign language, quiet work at books and in the fields, silent but obviously fervent prayer before the evening meal, etc. (I will confess that this last gesture, so thoroughly absent from movies and television today, startled me.) Given the awful demands of the moment, any gadgets, machines, electronic entertainment, or noisy implements are out of the question. Their farming is by hand; their fishing is done with pre-modern equipment; even their walking about is done barefoot. And what is most marvelous to behold is that, in this prayerful, quiet, pre-modern atmosphere, | 1,024 | 1 |

ESOHR Copy right © Blu-ray Review: Black Panther!
Going into the 18th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you’d hope you wouldn’t see the same thing over and over that we’ve been watching since Iron Man debuted a decade ago. As the years have passed on by, watching a Marvel movie became something tedious, even though most of the films are fun and enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong, Marvel has done a great job with each and every film they’ve put out, but moving into their 18th film, it seems like we’ve seen almost everything and every action scene is something recycled from the previous, whether it be superheroes jumping from car to car during car chases or aliens come out of the sky and destroying the planet. Luckily for all of us Marvel fans, ‘Black Panther‘ breathes new and creative life into a somewhat stale film series in the best ways possible.
Dan Moran’s ‘Black Panther’ Review!
Admittedly, the easiest narrative for Black Panther reviews is that it is a “game-changer”, “important”, “redefines hero”, etc. Those narratives and feelings aren’t wrong. I think Black Panther is one of Marvel’s best stand-alone hero films. It is right behind The Winter Soldier and the original Iron Man for me. In a few years it may even eclipse those two as the distance and impact it has going forward is felt. I believe the cultural and racial themes of this film are well thought out, focused, bold, and sobering. To be perfectly honest I don’t feel comfortable writing about that aspect of the film in depth. I’m a 32 year old goofy white guy who is not a good enough writer to navigate that territory, plus I lack the experiences that would make my take worth reading. There are some incredible writers who have written on the overall cultural impact of (essentially) an all-black cast superhero film and I encourage all of you to seek those pieces out because they are worth your time. My review is going to focus on just how badass this movie is.

Jon Favreau Confirms Thor, Captain America, And Black Panther Subtle Appearances in Iron Man 2
by Gumbercules9000 on Sep 21st, | 2010
Since the first Iron Man film, Jon Favreau and Marvel have gone to great lengths to show us glimpses of some of our favorite superheroes in subtle ways throughout the Marvel hero films.
Now when we all pick up our copy of Iron Man 2 on bluray/dvd, take a close look and see if you see the references to Captain America, Thor, and Black Panther.
Specifically the scene featuring Tony Stark and Nick Fury discussing the Avengers Initiative, the background of which was littered with an assortment of footage, maps and images hinting at other Marvel properties.
[The first is] from “The Incredible Hulk”, which means Iron Man 2 took place before “The Incredible Hulk.” If you look you see the the crater on the other monitor, that’s the “Thor” thing. That’s where the hammer was recovered. This is just a geek heaven here.
And if you think that anything on this monitors is not something we at Marvel didn’t talk about for hours – you are crazy! See, there is a map up there, so… if you look at those maps, each one of those locations corresponds to something in the Marvel Universe. I’m not supposed to say that.
And if you look on each one, and I know what they mean, but I’m not gonna say it, but I’m gonna say this: Two of them relate to “The First Avenger: Captain America,” one of them relates to “Thor.” The one in Africa relates to Black Panther.

‘Avengers: Endgame’ 4K UHD Blu-ray Review!
The culmination of everything we’ve seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first Iron Man movie in 2008 is here with Avengers: Endgame. Back in 2008, a few people had a big idea for us comic book fans. That idea started with Iron Man, where at the end of the film, Samuel L. Jackson showed up and wanted to get a team together. That team would be the Avengers, that would go on to team up everyone’s favorite superheroes, including Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Black Panther, Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, The Wasp, The Guardians of the Galaxy, Scarlett Witch, Vision, The Winter Soldier, and a few others. Spread over the course of ten years, these filmmakers and Marvel Studio execs have crafted an intense storyline that has continued over the last decade with rich and iconic characters that have had their own movies to shine, along with teaming up here and there to take on bigger threats.

Avengers: Endgame Predictions!
by Gumbercules9000 on Apr 17th, 2019
We are one week away from the big L.A. premiere of Avengers: Endgame. The embargo on critics reviews will lift shortly after that and the internet will be the wild west of spoilers for two days until the movie is released. I have succesfully avoided spoilers like the plague for Avengers: Endgame. I got off of Twitter last year and deleted Facebook in January (not because of Endgame), so it is very easy to avoid spoilers. I dabble in Reddit for news sometimes but don’t subscribe to any “spoiler” groups, and I still plan to stay offline starting that day in case anything makes the home page. Now even though I am leak and spoiler adverse, I have watched every single trailer and TV spot and spend way too much of my adult time speculating what will happen. I was also in the Wal-Mart toy aisle yesterday and saw the Avengers: Endgame figures so that tipped me off too. So here is what I think will happen based on that…

dating.
Jake wants to get to know who this Dree is, up close and personal, but Dree won’t see him for dust. Attempted date rape and her own parents’ vitriolic marriage have put her off men completely.
The battle of wills gets violent, and the families step in when blood spills, but even that won’t stop their headlong rush for a showdown.
A Continuing Montana Love Story
I wanted you laughing, I wanted you weeping, I wanted to fill you with sorrow and joy. So that's what I wrote.
The story? Love, friendship, and bitterness — Franklin's and Jake's, Catherine's and Dree's.
Thank God for Lane.
This is a semi-sweet love story. There's cursing, but nary a sex scene. It'll still have you feeling butterflies, though …and provoke wicked grins from the men.
MORE ABOUT To Have & To Hold
Only six weeks married, and the pressures of life on a big, working ranch take their toll on Jake and Dree. The newlywed glow has vanished, and so has Jake’s granddad, ranch owner Franklin Jarvis. He’s gone. That leaves Jake, struggling to manage it all. He’s stressed and exhausted. And Dree hasn’t the power or the knowledge to help him. Worse, when push comes to shove, Jake seems to take everyone else’s side, except hers.
When Franklin does finally surface, it’s all over local news. There’s a name and a picture attached, and a little snooping uncovers that Franklin’s been seeing a young, big city whore from back East – taking a sex vacation at the expense of the ranch and Dree and Jake’s happiness. At least, that’s how Dree sees it. …Franklin? When she confronts him in private, he tells her it’s none of her business. But she makes it her business, and all hell breaks loose. …Because Franklin loves Catherine, and that’s the rest of the story.
In this book, I wanted to show the similarities and differences between Jake and Franklin in their way of thinking and doing things. Old Man Jarvis, Franklin’s dad, knows how similar they are. Franklin doesn’t. Doesn’t see it. Jake doesn’t, either. He thinks he can’t ever measure up, not even to handling the ranch and the businesses, never mind holding the whole family together.
Jake’s young. Hasn’t got it quite figured out. Franklin’s an old hand …but, sometimes, he can’t figure it out, either. Despite their similarities, their personal choices and life experiences see their pathways diverge, Franklin’s hopeful and forward-looking, Jake’s murky and embittered.
I also wanted to show Dree and Catherine — Dree’s rebellion, finally, against years of abusive patriarchal domination as well as her suffering the confounding familial issues which her young, fragile psyche found too much to bear, this compared to and contrasted against Catherine’s plight because she rebelled against a matriarchal society and, in consequence, lost everything — her family, her people, her self-respect, her hopes for fulfillment and happiness, and, almost, her life.
The story is one of parallels, of Franklin’s and Jake’s, of Catherine’s and Dree’s — parallels travelling opposite directions, one towards joy and fulfillment, one towards misery.
This is a love story, a continuing Montana love story, about a family who gives a damn and tries very hard to do the right thing. It’s a story about sacrifice, about hurting and healing. It’s a story of change, of caring, and about surviving challenges that can beset us — our responses to them. Mostly, it’s a story about promises — those to be made, those to be kept, and those that are or have to be broken.

This guy got one. Maybe you should, too. Systematic review of the validity and reliability of consumer-wearable activity trackers

Consumer-wearable activity trackers are electronic devices used for monitoring fitness- and other health-related metrics. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the evidence for validity and reliability of popular consumer-wearable activity trackers (Fitbit and Jawbone) and their ability to estimate steps, distance, physical activity, energy expenditure, and sleep.
Searches included only full-length English language studies published in PubMed, Embase, SPORTDiscus, and Google Scholar through July 31, 2015. Two people reviewed and abstracted each included study.
In total, 22 studies were included in the review (20 on adults, 2 on youth). For laboratory-based studies using step counting or accelerometer steps, the correlation with tracker-assessed steps was high for both Fitbit and Jawbone (Pearson or intraclass correlation coefficients (CC) > =0.80). Only one study assessed distance for the Fitbit, finding an over-estimate at slower speeds and under-estimate at faster speeds. Two field-based studies compared accelerometry-assessed physical activity to the trackers, with one study finding higher correlation (Spearman CC 0.86, Fitbit) while another study found a wide range in correlation (intraclass CC 0.36–0.70, Fitbit and Jawbone). Using several different comparison measures (indirect and direct calorimetry, accelerometry, self-report), energy expenditure was more often under-estimated by either tracker. Total sleep time and sleep efficiency were over-estimated and wake after sleep onset was under-estimated comparing metrics from polysomnography to either tracker using a normal mode setting. No studies of intradevice reliability were found. Interdevice reliability was reported on seven studies using the Fitbit, but none for the Jawbone. Walking- and running-based Fitbit trials indicated consistently high interdevice reliability for steps (Pearson and intraclass CC 0.76–1.00), distance (intraclass CC 0.90–0.99), and energy expenditure (Pearson and intraclass CC 0.71–0.97). When wearing two Fitbits while sleeping, consistency between the devices was high.
This systematic review indicated higher validity of steps, few studies on distance and physical activity, and lower validity for energy expenditure and sleep. The evidence reviewed indicated high interdevice reliability for steps, distance, energy expenditure, and sleep for certain Fitbit models. As new activity trackers and features are introduced to the market, documentation of the measurement properties can guide their use in research settings.
Consumer wearable devices are a popular and growing market for monitoring physical activity, sleep, and other behaviors. The devices helped to grow what is known as the Quantified Self movement, engaging those who wish to track their own personal data to optimize health behaviors [1]. A subset of consumer wearable devices used for monitoring physical activity- and fitness-related metrics are referred to as “activity trackers” or “fitness trackers” [2]. Their popularity has risen as they have become more affordable, unobtrusive, and useful in their application. | 1,024 | 1 |
real and we cannot shrink from our responsibility to combat it. If we could create NATO to face down the Soviet Union, we can join in a new and global partnership to dismantle the networks that have struck in Madrid and Amman; in London and Bali; in Washington and New York. If we could win a battle of ideas against the communists, we can stand with the vast majority of Muslims who reject the extremism that leads to hate instead of hope.
This is the moment when we must renew our resolve to rout the terrorists who threaten our security in Afghanistan, and the traffickers who sell drugs on your streets. No one welcomes war. I recognize the enormous difficulties in Afghanistan. But my country and yours have a stake in seeing that NATO’s first mission beyond Europe’s borders is a success. For the people of Afghanistan, and for our shared security, the work must be done. America cannot do this alone. The Afghan people need our troops and your troops; our support and your support to defeat the Taliban and al Qaeda, to develop their economy, and to help them rebuild their nation. We have too much at stake to turn back now.
This is the moment when we must renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. The two superpowers that faced each other across the wall of this city came too close too often to destroying all we have built and all that we love. With that wall gone, we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom. It is time to secure all loose nuclear materials; to stop the spread of nuclear weapons; and to reduce the arsenals from another era. This is the moment to begin the work of seeking the peace of a world without nuclear weapons.
This is the moment when every nation in Europe must have the chance to choose its own tomorrow free from the shadows of yesterday. In this century, we need a strong European Union that deepens the security and prosperity of this continent, while extending a hand abroad. In this century – in this city of all cities – we must reject the Cold War mind-set of the past, and resolve to work with Russia when we can, to stand up for our values when we must, and to seek a partnership that extends across this entire continent.
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many. Together, we must forge trade that truly rewards the work that creates wealth, with meaningful protections for our people and our planet. This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all.
This is the moment we must help answer the call for a new dawn in the Middle East. My country must stand with yours and with Europe in sending a direct message to Iran that it must abandon its nuclear ambitions. We must support the Lebanese who have marched and bled for democracy, and the Israelis and Palestinians who seek a secure and lasting peace. And despite past differences, this is the moment when the world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close.
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. Let us resolve that all nations – including my own – will act with the same seriousness of purpose as has your nation, and reduce the carbon we send into our atmosphere. This is the moment to give our children back their future. This is the moment to stand as one.
And this is the moment when we must give hope to those left behind in a globalized world. We must remember that the Cold War born in this city was not a battle for land or treasure. Sixty years ago, the planes that flew over Berlin did not drop bombs; instead they delivered food, and coal, and candy to grateful children. And in that show of solidarity, those pilots won more than a military victory. They won hearts and minds; love and loyalty and trust – not just from the people in this city, but from all those who heard the story of what they did here.
Now the world will watch and remember what we do here – what we do with this moment. Will we extend our hand to the people in the forgotten corners of this world who yearn for lives marked by dignity and opportunity; by security and justice? Will we lift the child in Bangl | real and we cannot shrink from our responsibility to combat it.

The two superpowers that faced each other across the wall of this city came too close too often to destroying all we have built and all that we love. With that wall gone, we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom. It is time to secure all loose nuclear materials; to stop the spread of nuclear weapons; and to reduce the arsenals from another era. This is the moment to begin the work of seeking the peace of a world without nuclear weapons.
This is the moment when every nation in Europe must have the chance to choose its own tomorrow free from the shadows of yesterday. In this century, we need a strong European Union that deepens the security and prosperity of this continent, while extending a hand abroad. In this century – in this city of all cities – we must reject the Cold War mind-set of the past, and resolve to work with Russia when we can, to stand up for our values when we must, and to seek a partnership that extends across this entire continent.
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many. Together, we must forge trade that truly rewards the work that creates wealth, with meaningful protections for our people and our planet. This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all.
This is the moment we must help answer the call for a new dawn in the Middle East. My country must stand with yours and with Europe in sending a direct message to Iran that it must abandon its nuclear ambitions. We must support the Lebanese who have marched and bled for democracy, and the Israelis and Palestinians who seek a secure and lasting peace. And despite past differences, this is the moment when the world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close.
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. Let us resolve that all nations – including my own – will act with the same seriousness of purpose as has your nation, and reduce the carbon we send into our atmosphere. This is the moment to give our children back their future. This is the moment to stand as one.
And this is the moment when we must give hope to those left behind in a globalized world. We must remember that the Cold War born in this city was not a battle for land or treasure. Sixty years ago, the planes that flew over Berlin did not drop bombs; instead they delivered food, and coal, and candy to grateful children. And in that show of solidarity, those pilots won more than a military victory. They won hearts and minds; love and loyalty and trust – not just from the people in this city, but from all those who heard the story of what they did here.
Now the world will watch and remember what we do here – what we do with this moment. Will we extend our hand to the people in the forgotten corners of this world who yearn for lives marked by dignity and opportunity; by security and justice? Will we lift the child in Bangl | adesh from poverty, shelter the refugee in Chad, and banish the scourge of AIDS in our time?
Will we stand for the human rights of the dissident in Burma, the blogger in Iran, or the voter in Zimbabwe? Will we give meaning to the words “never again” in Darfur?
Will we acknowledge that there is no more powerful example than the one each of our nations projects to the world? Will we reject torture and stand for the rule of law? Will we welcome immigrants from different lands, and shun discrimination against those who don’t look like us or worship like we do, and keep the promise of equality and opportunity for all of our people?
People of Berlin – people of the world – this is our moment. This is our time.
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
But I also know how much I love America. I know that for more than two centuries, we have strived – at great cost and great sacrifice – to form a more perfect union; to seek, with other nations, a more hopeful world. Our allegiance has never been to any particular tribe or kingdom – indeed, every language is spoken in our country; every culture has left its imprint on ours; every point of view is expressed in our public squares. What has always united us – what has always driven our people; what drew my father to America’s shores – is a set of ideals that speak to aspirations shared by all people: that we can live free from fear and free from want; that we can speak our minds and assemble with whomever we choose and worship as we please.
These are the aspirations that joined the fates of all nations in this city. These aspirations are bigger than anything that drives us apart. It is because of these aspirations that the airlift began. It is because of these aspirations that all free people – everywhere – became citizens of Berlin. It is in pursuit of these aspirations that a new generation – our generation – must make our mark on the world.
People of Berlin – and people of the world – the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. With an eye toward the future, with resolve in our hearts, let us remember this history, and answer our destiny, and remake the world once again.

Art and Memory: Obama in Berlin- 24 July 2008
Full Text - Obama's Speech in Berlin:
A World that Stands as One - July 24th, 2008
Barack Obama will speak in Berlin tomorrow at the Tiergarten beneath the Siegessäule . For many of us, Berlin and the towering Siegessäule bring to mind Wim Wenders' films Wings of Desire and the haunting sequel, Faraway, So Close, which opens with the angel Cassiel (Otto Sander) standing on the statue of the Angel of Victory overlooking post-Cold War Berlin. As Wim Wender's site puts it, this angel grows "ever more despondent over his fate as a mere observer of human life, rather than a vital part of it, Cassiel dreams of crossing over to the human world." Many times as the centuries pass, art that was at first created to celebrate fleeting military victories over past or imagined enemies loses its local memory and becomes part of all humanity's memories. Wim Wenders was able to shake the Siegessäule loose from the spectres of Prussian militarism and into the post-Cold War world. Arguably, this Angel of Victory can now be seen as a harbinger of Walter Benjamin's Angel of History:
"This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has | 1,024 | 1 |
help track down and take these illegal dirt bikes off our roads. Colonel Mason has indicated to me and Commissioner Clapprood that he intends to expand their air wing operations,” Mayor Sarno said. “In addition, under Commissioner Clapprood’s leadership, SPD has enhanced their traffic enforcement and visibility throughout our city. As a result, SPD has conducted numerous traffic stops and issued hundreds if not thousands of traffic citations for speeding and distracted driving and even making arrests and taking more illegal guns off our streets. However, we now need our courts to back us up and to not dismiss these traffic violations and felony charges.”
“Additionally, we will continue to work with Representative Williams and our state delegation on passing vital home rule legislation that state Representative Orlando Ramos filed that would give SPD the authority to seize and destroy these illegal dirt bikes so that they cannot terrorize our residents, business community and neighborhoods anymore. Springfield has also adopted a local ordinance that will make it harder for these illegal off-road vehicles to operate on our city streets by banning the sale of gas to dirt bike riders. I am also happy to report that after Representative Ramos and I met with the mayors and police department leadership from the cities of Holyoke and Chicopee in August 2021, we now have a stronger regional approach to addressing this issue. Both Holyoke and Chicopee are looking to pass their own local ordinance to ban the sale of gas to dirt bike riders and their local police departments continue to work with our SPD and the State Police to share information on these illegal dirt bikes as they travel in and out of our respective communities.” Mayor Sarno continued.
State Representative Williams added, “I will continue to work with my colleagues in the House, including Representative Ramos the lead sponsor of the home rule bill, to get this important legislation passed. The legislation is currently pending before the Joint Committee on the Judiciary.”
EOPSS Secretary Reidy and EOPSS Legislative Director Brian Merrick also expressed and thanked the Mayor for his continued support of Governor Baker’s dangerousness legislation that looks to focus on a plethora of public safety issues such as strengthening the consequences for those found in violation of their release on bail, creating new felony offense for a defendant that has cut off their court-ordered GPS device and the right for the prosecution to request a dangerousness hearing for certain criminal acts; just to name a few.
Mayor Sarno and State Representative Bud Williams will continue to push and advocate for effective public safety initiatives for the betterment of all our residents and business community. As a follow up to this discussion, Mayor Sarno and Representative Williams will schedule a meeting with local court officials to stress the importance that these public safety efforts and initiatives are supported by the court system. Mayor Sarno and Representative Williams will reach out to schedule a meeting with First Justice Judge Kevin Maltby and Clerk Magistrate John Gay. Prof Says University “Inclusion & Diversity” Efforts Are A “Smokescreen” That Harms Black Students

Amid nationwide calls for more diversity initiatives at universities, one professor argues that these types of programs fail to address the real issues and ultimately harm minority students.
In a recent interview, Henry Louis Taylor Jr., professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Buffalo, said the focus on “inclusion and diversity” on college campuses has been an excuse to avoid any actual confrontation of race issues. Taylor says that the primary issue of the century is race, and argues that society needs to bring more attention to how different organizations handle issues of race and racism.
He says this should be done by bringing these topics to the forefront.
According to Taylor, universities have “replaced conversations around race with conversations around inclusion and diversity, which shifts the conversation and issue away so that we don’t have to deal with all of those complex issues that are related to grappling and dealing with race.”
Taylor claims that the move toward “inclusion and diversity” at universities “has been nothing more than a smokescreen to marginalize the discussions of race and, in particular, the issues facing African Americans.”
“There are these predominantly white science departments and medical centers that years later still have no or very few black folks or Puerto Ricans,” said Taylor. “And this | help track down and take these illegal dirt bikes off our roads.

“There are these predominantly white science departments and medical centers that years later still have no or very few black folks or Puerto Ricans,” said Taylor. “And this | is one of the reasons the anger is so deep.” Taylor states that as a result of the current situations, people are having their voices be heard by bodies of government. The spread of the coronavirus and the recent protests have us “caught in this kind of purgatory” by showing all “people across the racial divide…the commonalities of pain and misery.”
According to the professor, the coronavirus crisis created the perfect storm for the types of change he believes is necessary.
“COVID-19 has snatched the mask off of America the beautiful, and revealed disfigurement as a characteristic of this country,” said Taylor.
“It’s created a common experience of people across the racial divide that allowed them to see the commonalities of pain and misery.
“So we won’t go back to the old world. We have a vision, that’s what they’re talking about — saying that enough is enough,” he explained
Taylor told Campus Reform that certain university diversity efforts have increased enrollment of international students on college campuses, there has been an unnoticed decrease of black students.
“The inclusion and diversity framework, in practice, pushed issues concerning black and brown people to the margin as they became increasingly abstract. In some places, people were even calling for ideological diversity,” Taylor told Campus Reform.
Taylor added that college campuses’ diversity efforts actually harm the very people they are meant to aid, saying that “the rise of international students made it easier to hide the disappearance of Blacks on college campuses, along with Latinxs.”
“Of course, I support and celebrate international students, but administrators used them to make the campus appear diverse, while black and brown people disappeared,” said Taylor.
“I belong to the inclusion and diversity committees at the university and school levels, and those groups rarely mention race and never champion the cause of African Americans. In this space, all groups are juxtaposed, and no group is viewed as disproportionately treated, nor do the issues of power occur under this banner,” explained Taylor.
“The hard reality is inclusion and diversity had made discussions of racism and anti-racism harder. For these reasons, I advocate recentering race and anti-racism in our conversations and replace inclusion and diversity committees with racial equity committees.”

Parent Rap
By Jackie Saulmon Ramirez | August 27, 2014
The appearance of those big yellow buses triggers kids’ mad scrambles and parental moans across the country.
Seeing a big yellow school bus instantly reminds me of Chelsey and Katie’s experiences catching a ride; frantic searches for things to cram in their backpack and teeth half brushed after a leisurely breakfast. It was not always an easy issue for me and my fellow Parents Anonymous Group members would agree. We each took our turns on the “pity pot” to bemoan missed buses and trips to school with a tardy child. We each had different approaches and some worked better than others; here is what I did.
The All-Important Ownership
Alarm clocks are one of the first self-imposed limits set by my daughters.
Getting the girls each their own clock and teaching them how to use it was the first step. We calculated…
Carry Me Home
Willow Snow
I’ve traveled the world
But nothing prepared me
For when love averted my eyes
Dropping me in uncharted lands
Needless to say I got carried away
Getting drunk on euphoria and
High in his hypnotic gaze
Dizzying my senses
‘Til I fell into his arms
Love had conquered my heart
Breathless and defeated
I whispered
‘carry me home’

Chicago-media-omit-fact-that-FBI-terror-suspect-is-chief-steward-for-SEIU
One might think it would be big news that a Chief Steward for a local chapter of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is being investigated by the FBI for possible connection to overseas terror networks. Apparently, though, several Chicago news outlets didn’t see a reason to add this little fact to their stories.
And even if it wasn’t big news that the FBI is investigating a union member, one would think that his profession would at least make an appearance somewhere in properly formulated coverage of the story… right?
Over the weekend the FBI announced that it was investigating Joe Iosbaker for possible connections to overseas terror groups. Iosbaker and his wife Stephanie Weiner, both anti-war activists, are suspected of activities “concerning the material support of terrorism.”
The Chicago news media have been all over the demonstrations that left-wing groups have mounted in Chicago to protest the FBI’s investigation of the anti-war activists. These stories are filled with all sorts of facts, dates and names. But in a significant handful of stories one little fact seems to have escaped the notice of these hardnosed journalists. Iosbaker is an SEIU union member. And not just a rank and file member but an official.
According to the SEIU Local 73 website, Iosbaker is listed as the Local 73 Chief Steward. Iosbaker was also quite active earlier in the year protesting the closing of the Republic Windows & Doors factory that made the national news. Iosbaker was then listed as an executive board member of the SEIU.
It is interesting to note that this fact escaped most of Chicago’s TV coverage. Michelle Gallardo of ABC 7 TV seems to have forgotten to mention the union connection, CBS channel 2 also missed this fact, WGN TV channel 9 also forgot to mention the SEIU, and Channel 5 NBC also missed it, all accidentally I’m sure.
But it isn’t just TV that missed this fact. The Associated Press also seems to be blind to the fact that Iosbaker is a union operative.
My friends at the Chicago Daily Observer have helpfully offered the Old Media a spelling lesson, “SEIU, it’s spelled S-E-I-U,” they scolded.
The fact seems to be that Iosbaker is not just a little fish in the big union pond. He is at least a middle-manager and local union muckety-muck. So why did so many news outlets somehow forget to mention this fact? Isn’t his status as a union operative with some station and position significant?
One is tempted to think that these news outlets were trying to cover for the SEIU.

different, in terms of who should be included and excluded from such lists.
One example is that are people working at universities, sometimes very senior, who are recipients of a fellowship, but may not be included on permanent faculty lists of the university. Postdoctoral students can also contribute significant work, but may not be accounted as being part of the institution. Different universities have different inclusion and exclusion criteria. They sometimes give honorary titles. It makes it difficult to compare apples with apples—that is universities among themselves. And once you try and compare with other countries, it is even more complicated.
What are the possible ways of remedying these shortcomings?
It is a matter to try and get the HR departments to get some kind of consistency in the way they categorise academic staff, and in the description of research grants. As part of my role in research strategy at UCL, I was involved in setting up a kind of meta-database of all research activity—a system called IRIS—where we had some degree of success. It would be helpful if grant information was also held in a consistent manner.
There was also an attempt to establish consistent terminology for UK institutions, organised by Elsevier in consultation with a number of universities, through a system called Snowball Metrics. The EU too, has been trying to evaluate various universities based on empirical data through U-Multirank. It is similar to the joint US initiative to measure the Effect of Research on Innovation, Competitiveness and Science, from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), called STAR METRICS. If you are going to undertake such exercises, you need to have all the individual universities and the higher education funding body contributing to make the results meaningful.
What are the current limitations in evaluating scientists’ worth with instruments such as peer review, bibliometric indicators?
It ultimately boils down to peer-review. Be it for allocation of grants, progress in researchers’ careers or publication. The current peer-review system is the best we have got at the moment.
There is a degree of selection bias—either deliberate of inadvertent—in how you get a peer-review panel together. It is due to the fact that people are competing for the same funding in the same field. This can be corrected somewhat. From my experience as a funder at the Wellcome Trust, we tried to get a good mix of gender, age, and people from a variety of universities.
Open peer review makes the system more transparent. The problem with open peer review is that people are so concerned about litigation and are thus less likely to be fully truthful in their evaluation.
Peer review is not totally satisfactory. People can be conservative, especially when money is short. For some areas of interdisciplinary research, it is difficult to judge projects that fall between established themes. To improve peer-review, using technology to try and increase the pool of reviewers and internationalise the peer-review panels, would be useful.
Do you believe that novel measurement methods, so-called altmetrics, offer a suitable alternative?
It is one of the fields growing exponentially. We would, however, need to have some kind of evaluation of the effectiveness of these altmetrics. We would need to evaluate evaluation techniques.
People in a certain demographic, young people, are using those techniques. There are more mature academics who would never dream of using them. Sometimes, people spend too much time using the social media tools instead of focusing on their research. We need to try and test them, first, before we use them as additional evaluation resources.
All in all, you need to find good people and give them funding, and let them run with it. A person-centric approach, could be a solution. You need to apply a lot of intelligence in the selection process to validate more objective techniques.
How do you see the evaluation of researchers evolve in the future?
The one area that is going to be important—and I don’t know how it will affect evaluation techniques—is the issue of open access. All UK funders now recommend gold standard open access. It is likely to have an effect on citations. How it will affect them is quite difficult to predict; whether it will enhance or decrease the citation rate is unknown.

And once you try and compare with other countries, it is even more complicated.
What are the possible ways of remedying these shortcomings?
It is a matter to try and get the HR departments to get some kind of consistency in the way they categorise academic staff, and in the description of research grants. As part of my role in research strategy at UCL, I was involved in setting up a kind of meta-database of all research activity—a system called IRIS—where we had some degree of success. It would be helpful if grant information was also held in a consistent manner.
There was also an attempt to establish consistent terminology for UK institutions, organised by Elsevier in consultation with a number of universities, through a system called Snowball Metrics. The EU too, has been trying to evaluate various universities based on empirical data through U-Multirank. It is similar to the joint US initiative to measure the Effect of Research on Innovation, Competitiveness and Science, from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), called STAR METRICS. If you are going to undertake such exercises, you need to have all the individual universities and the higher education funding body contributing to make the results meaningful.
What are the current limitations in evaluating scientists’ worth with instruments such as peer review, bibliometric indicators?
It ultimately boils down to peer-review. Be it for allocation of grants, progress in researchers’ careers or publication. The current peer-review system is the best we have got at the moment.
There is a degree of selection bias—either deliberate of inadvertent—in how you get a peer-review panel together. It is due to the fact that people are competing for the same funding in the same field. This can be corrected somewhat. From my experience as a funder at the Wellcome Trust, we tried to get a good mix of gender, age, and people from a variety of universities.
Open peer review makes the system more transparent. The problem with open peer review is that people are so concerned about litigation and are thus less likely to be fully truthful in their evaluation.
Peer review is not totally satisfactory. People can be conservative, especially when money is short. For some areas of interdisciplinary research, it is difficult to judge projects that fall between established themes. To improve peer-review, using technology to try and increase the pool of reviewers and internationalise the peer-review panels, would be useful.
Do you believe that novel measurement methods, so-called altmetrics, offer a suitable alternative?
It is one of the fields growing exponentially. We would, however, need to have some kind of evaluation of the effectiveness of these altmetrics. We would need to evaluate evaluation techniques.
People in a certain demographic, young people, are using those techniques. There are more mature academics who would never dream of using them. Sometimes, people spend too much time using the social media tools instead of focusing on their research. We need to try and test them, first, before we use them as additional evaluation resources.
All in all, you need to find good people and give them funding, and let them run with it. A person-centric approach, could be a solution. You need to apply a lot of intelligence in the selection process to validate more objective techniques.
How do you see the evaluation of researchers evolve in the future?
The one area that is going to be important—and I don’t know how it will affect evaluation techniques—is the issue of open access. All UK funders now recommend gold standard open access. It is likely to have an effect on citations. How it will affect them is quite difficult to predict; whether it will enhance or decrease the citation rate is unknown.

Colbert Bank Robber Sentenced
MACON: Charles E. Peeler, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, announces that on June 12, 2018, Senior United States District Court Judge C. Ashley Royal sentenced Qruintrell Renee Cook, age 29, of North Augusta, South Carolina, to 57 months’ imprisonment for Bank Robbery. She was also ordered to pay $6590 in restitution to the bank. Ms. Cook pled guilty on March 8, 2018.
The evidence supporting the plea showed that on July 18, 2016, an adult female wearing a disguise robbed the First Madison Bank and Trust in Colbert, Georgia. The robber handed a note to a bank teller which threatened that she had a gun and was willing to shoot everyone in the bank unless she was given cash. Although the robber initially got away without being apprehended, she was later identified as Ms. Cook based on fingerprints she left behind at the scene. After her arrest in South Carolina, Ms. Cook confessed to committing the bank robbery.
“Ms. Cook’s illegal actions terrified innocent citizens and put many lives at risk, including her own,” said United States Attorney Peeler. “I applaud the joint local and federal law enforcement investigation that led to her identification, capture, and conviction.”
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, and the North Augusta Department of Public Safety. Assistant United States Attorney Peter D. Leary prosecuted the case for the United States.
Questions concerning this case should be directed to Pamela Lightsey, Public Information Officer, United States Attorney’s Office, at (478) 621-2603.

Leave a Comment Written by lili
A new report published in the latest edition of the American Journal of Modern Physics has revealed a startling finding – a newly developed telescope with concave lenses has observed, for the first time, entities in our terrestrial environment that are invisible to our eyes and to conventional Galileo telescopes with convex lenses. Even more surprising is the fact that these entities have been observed to move ‘intelligently’ in the night sky in a manner suggesting unauthorized surveillance of the area.
Revolutionary New Santilli Telescope
The discovery was made by Dr Ruggero Santilli, a highly-regarded expert in mathematics, cosmology, and physics, who has been nominated for Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry. Dr Santilli developed a new type of telescope that was designed to observe antimatter-light. This form of light has a negative index of refraction, thus requiring concave lenses to focus it, rather than the traditional convex lenses used in conventional Galileo telescopes.
Top: A conventional Galileo telescope with convex lenses designed to observe ordinary matter-light. Bottom: The new Santilli telescope with concave lenses designed to observe antimatter-light. Credit: Dr Santilli
In his paper, Apparent Detection via New Telescopes with Concave Lenses of Otherwise Invisible Terrestrial Entities (ITE), Dr Santilli relates the moment his new telescope found a lot more than he anticipated:
“On September 5, 2015, at 9.30 pm the author aimed a pair of 100 mm Galileo and Santilli telescopes at the night sky over Tampa Bay, Florida, as seen from the NE orientation of the terrace of room 775 of the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel in St. Petersburg… The tests were merely intended for the search of antimatter galaxies and, consequently, the paired telescopes were aimed at the sky, but sudden clouds halted the tests and the author oriented the pair of telescopes horizontally over Tampa Bay.
To his great surprise, unidentified yet clearly visible entities immediately appeared in the screen of the camera attached to the Santilli telescope, without any enlargement, without the same entities being visible to the naked eyes, and without any corresponding image existing in the screen of the camera attached to the Galileo telescope.

in particular, Jean Little, wrote of lonely children, children in pain, children growing up despite this loneliness and pain. I appreciated her so much because it was told against all the other narratives of childhood where I could not locate myself. I was in awe—how did this writer have this profound understanding of my feelings? How did she reach out from the page to remind me that I am part of a human family, not monstrous or Other, but just a child? I suppose this is the quest that I am on in writing this talk. I am seeking to know that I am not alone, and I am seeking to understand this pain and to put language like a salve upon it.
And it’s not just of suffering, but of putting the words to our complicated joy too. We mustn’t forget about joy. We will need to re-imagine what this means, re-imagine what a good life is by other metrics.
Of Archive
I’ve been thinking about literature as archive. Literature is knowledge, document, testament to what a culture at a given time values and doesn’t value. For that reason, some writers who do not see themselves in the pages, write the absences, the blank space between lines, the margins. Every story that gets told is made possible by other stories that do not, could not come. These stories exist in silence, like ghosts, like haunting. I believe this is what makes someone like Toni Morrison genius. She re-inserted black ancestors to a 400-year archive of America in her novels despite the persistent erasure of black life through slavery and anti-Blackness. She restored complex personhood and dignity to the lives of ancestors and descendants.
In discussing Morrison’s work, Sociologist Avery Gordon writes about ghosts and hauntings as power that can be named and not named, the density of concepts like Capitalism, Racism, Colonialism but also, the delicacy of what these things feel like, sound like, act like in the lives of oppressed people.
We are thick with ghosts that can be named and not named. The recent surfacing of consciousnesses that movements like #MeToo, Idle No More, and Black Lives Matter are giving shapes to ghosts, showing the outlines of absences, of the power that gives forms to our lives. It’s not that gender violence, white settler colonialism or anti-Blackness are recent events but a trajectory of destruction that hides in policy, in rhetoric, in the everyday practices of ordinary people. It is not easy to write the delicacy of mundane violences, the artfulness of subjugation, the slow death drive of hate and greed. These affects and effects are not so easy to describe, to name. So, we write the stories of these hauntings.
What gets read, what gets published, what gains traction are important questions to consider. If dominant stories that are repeated like some kind of truth are no longer working, if the assumptions about what is universal are proven untrue, we need counter stories, haunted stories, unburied stories. We need to clear space for them. Even in this moment when we face an uncertain future, or if we can’t imagine what the human future will be, we must create and continue to serve this archive. The archive is for the past and the future, but also for now. It is hard to be human, it is hard to be a writer. Tell this.
Of Witness
We are changing necessarily. Our consciousness, our roles in history, our sensibilities—all are changing in these dangerous times.
If we are to write the world, to bring it in, let it permeate our words and blur the boundaries between text and life, what are the stories that must accompany us in this transition? To write, I must be filled with compassion. It’s the only way I know how to do it. So, where does my compassion lie? I hope it will always be on the side of justice.
One of our functions as writers is to bear witness. Poet Billy Ray Belcourt pushes us farther and states that “I think that part of the work of the poet in the 21st century in the West is to not just bear witness, but to trouble and denormalize the way in which cruelty actually is a part of the fabric of life in Canada.”
Does this goal seem lofty? Maybe. Is it necessary? Yes. Is it a dangerous time? It is. There is more at stake than ever but perhaps, this has always been so. Everywhere, throughout history, somebody | in particular, Jean Little, wrote of lonely children, children in pain, children growing up despite this loneliness and pain. I appreciated her so much because it was told against all the other narratives of childhood where I could not locate myself. I was in awe—how did this writer have this profound understanding of my feelings? How did she reach out from the page to remind me that I am part of a human family, not monstrous or Other, but just a child? I suppose this is the quest that I am on in writing this talk. I am seeking to know that I am not alone, and I am seeking to understand this pain and to put language like a salve upon it.
And it’s not just of suffering, but of putting the words to our complicated joy too. We mustn’t forget about joy. We will need to re-imagine what this means, re-imagine what a good life is by other metrics.
Of Archive
I’ve been thinking about literature as archive. Literature is knowledge, document, testament to what a culture at a given time values and doesn’t value. For that reason, some writers who do not see themselves in the pages, write the absences, the blank space between lines, the margins. Every story that gets told is made possible by other stories that do not, could not come. These stories exist in silence, like ghosts, like haunting. I believe this is what makes someone like Toni Morrison genius. She re-inserted black ancestors to a 400-year archive of America in her novels despite the persistent erasure of black life through slavery and anti-Blackness. She restored complex personhood and dignity to the lives of ancestors and descendants.
In discussing Morrison’s work, Sociologist Avery Gordon writes about ghosts and hauntings as power that can be named and not named, the density of concepts like Capitalism, Racism, Colonialism but also, the delicacy of what these things feel like, sound like, act like in the lives of oppressed people.
We are thick with ghosts that can be named and not named. The recent surfacing of consciousnesses that movements like #MeToo, Idle No More, and Black Lives Matter are giving shapes to ghosts, showing the outlines of absences, of the power that gives forms to our lives. It’s not that gender violence, white settler colonialism or anti-Blackness are recent events but a trajectory of destruction that hides in policy, in rhetoric, in the everyday practices of ordinary people. It is not easy to write the delicacy of mundane violences, the artfulness of subjugation, the slow death drive of hate and greed. These affects and effects are not so easy to describe, to name. So, we write the stories of these hauntings.
What gets read, what gets published, what gains traction are important questions to consider. If dominant stories that are repeated like some kind of truth are no longer working, if the assumptions about what is universal are proven untrue, we need counter stories, haunted stories, unburied stories. We need to clear space for them. Even in this moment when we face an uncertain future, or if we can’t imagine what the human future will be, we must create and continue to serve this archive. The archive is for the past and the future, but also for now. It is hard to be human, it is hard to be a writer. Tell this.
Of Witness
We are changing necessarily. Our consciousness, our roles in history, our sensibilities—all are changing in these dangerous times.
If we are to write the world, to bring it in, let it permeate our words and blur the boundaries between text and life, what are the stories that must accompany us in this transition? To write, I must be filled with compassion. It’s the only way I know how to do it. So, where does my compassion lie? I hope it will always be on the side of justice.
One of our functions as writers is to bear witness. Poet Billy Ray Belcourt pushes us farther and states that “I think that part of the work of the poet in the 21st century in the West is to not just bear witness, but to trouble and denormalize the way in which cruelty actually is a part of the fabric of life in Canada.”
Does this goal seem lofty? Maybe. Is it necessary? Yes. Is it a dangerous time? It is. There is more at stake than ever but perhaps, this has always been so. Everywhere, throughout history, somebody | has struggled for their lives and humanity, and somebody has picked up a pen, a paintbrush, used their voice to express this sorrow, this rage, this insistence to life.
Of Relationship
We need audacity in order to re-write the world. But what kind of audacity? A Hero’s journey? I am re-thinking this metaphor and narrative. I am turning the central protagonist around, so she can look at others, embrace them, engage, understand that she is born in a nest of relations and her heroism and courage is not a solo trek.
Instead of being a “good person” or a “good writer”, I have started to think instead of fostering good relations. I count myself in the company of brilliant contemporary writers who are also wrestling with these preoccupations. The ideas weave like conversation in our stories, poetry and essays. There is a genealogy in our literary histories, and this genealogy makes all things possible, generating language that I can hold and build. I believe our words are a commune also for readers. If we are dreaming the same dream—how miraculous, how incredible! Perhaps I have been hoping all along that I am working towards this same dream or a path towards something that feels like love, like life, like justice, like the human.
While I was writing That Time I Loved You, I felt a bit concerned by how my characters took over my life. They emerged as fully formed characters and followed me everywhere. I met Lee Maracle for the first time during the writing of this book, and asked her, in a scared whisper if she ever felt she was haunted. Lee, matter-of-fact replied, of course, writing is speaking to our ancestors. She accepts this as her practice. If this is indeed what we do—this divine invocation of ghosts, of history, our duty to ancestors, then perhaps we are also learning how to be good ancestors ourselves.
Writing possible futures must necessarily lead us back to relationship, and this includes non-human life forms. I have felt the need to slow things down, to walk at a snail’s pace. On that encounter with the butterfly, I thought how strange that I offered a right of way to a butterfly, but isn’t this so? Isn’t this the most basic of things, the coterminous inhabitation of this space and time? Perhaps we can still retrieve and renew the possibilities of relationship that does not further harm, but can re-imagine the relationship between a woman and a butterfly that would exceed my understanding of the world as I know it?
I’ll ask again: what audacity do we need now? I’ll offer my answer: We need each other.
Of Story
Duty is not contrary to creative freedom. In fact, I think of it as part of creative freedom and the height of imagination. Story finds fertile ground when we understand what ours is unique to tell. This does not mean borrowing or inhabiting another voice as the case of cultural appropriation. It is the acknowledgement of what is facing us vis a vis a web of relationships.
Some writers have written dystopia, of the after-effects of catastrophe—whether this is a climate crash or a humanity crash. We also need to think about what to write in the time between, the transition, the ways we will change AS we are changing. The change will be rapid and slow. When I think of the time before Trump was elected to now, it could have been a million years ago. Or a minute. The temporal becomes something else in dangerous times when we are unprepared for how deeply we can sink, how deeply it cuts. And so, as writers, we play with time.
There is theory in storytelling, so there is deep knowledge found in our literature. Leanne Simpson writes in Dancing on Our Turtle's Back that elders have said that everything we need to know is encoded in the structure, content and context of Indigenous stories including an ethics and responsibility. And so, we need to make more space for these stories.
Even if you are not Indigenous or colonized, we may begin to free ourselves from the confines of colonial logics, structures, forms and a return to the communal, of relationality. We, as Frantz Fanon indicated, must attend to the colonial wound. The wound that is also evident on the land, the waters that will soon no longer sustain us because of the same colonial and neoliberal violence that is and has been enacted on human bodies. We need to free our imagination from the trajectories | 1,024 | 1 |

Plant tulips. We plant a few thousand new ones each year, delaying planting until the middle of May. The ones we have already planted remain in the ground - some disappear and others keep flowering for years.
I’m admiring the grasses
Though grasses offer lovely textures throughout the season, it’s autumn when the majority are in flower and they look most effective. One of the earliest of the miscanthus to come into flower is Miscanthus transmorissonensis, which is also one of the most drought-hardy. Even though it’s an evergreen we keep it fresh by cutting it down to about 10cm in late winter or early spring, just as the new growth is appearing. The key thing is not to shave the crown, or it will die. Miscanthus sinensis ‘Cosmopolitan’ gets the same treatment. This one has beautifully clean variegation of creamy white against green, and unlike many variegated plants doesn't burn in full sun. The flowers lift the height to more than 2m, but it’s really the foliage that is the appeal here. Every four or five years, we lift, divide and replant the grasses, to prevent the core hollowing out, leaving the plant more likely to collapse. It’s best to engage a very strong person and a sharp spade for this job - I have to prepare myself physically and mentally!

Engineers reportedly wanted to see the production line for Ford's aluminum-b | odied trucks.
By Kyle CheromchaAugust 10, 2018
Intelligence gathering is nothing new in the automotive industry. Take a trip to any auto show before the doors open to the general public and you'll see groups of serious-looking people in serious suits picking over their competitors' cars with a fine-toothed comb. But no potential source of information can go unplumbed in the great pickup truck arms race, which is how General Motors engineers ended up sneaking into public tours of the Ford F-150 factory in Michigan as they developed the next-generation Silverado and Sierra trucks, according to a new report in Reuters.
General Motors has made a point of poking fun at Ford's recent switch to an aluminum body and bed in the F-150 whenever possible. However, the company also realized it would need to incorporate the lighter metal somehow in its new trucks in order to reach weight and fuel economy targets. The solution involved crafting the new Silverado and Sierra's moveable panels (the hood, the doors, and the tailgate) out of a mix of aluminum and steel.
However, executive chief engineer for GM's truck programs Tim Herrick told Reuters that the team wanted to get a firsthand look at how Ford managed with the material on its production line. It's not illegal for engineers from one company to sign up for a public tour of another's factory, and anyone who's ever taken a tour like this knows that manufacturers take great pains not to show off too much of the operation. But according to Herrick, the GM employees still found what they came for.
A 2018 Ford F-150 rolls off the line in Dearborn, Michigan on May 18.
Using stopwatches to check for efficiency, Herrick said that the team saw Ford employees having "a real hard time getting those [aluminum] doors to fit." Curious to find out more, the engineers furtively bought new F-150 doors that were intended to be used as repair parts and tore them to pieces. The end result of all this research? Herrick said they determined they could use a different mix of aluminum and thinner high-strength steel to save even more weight and avoid causing production line difficulties.
The rest of the report details the financial stakes in the latest chapter of America's long-running full-size truck feud between GM, Ford, and Ram. In an era of rapid technological change, all three manufacturers have doubled down and increased their investments in the next generation of big trucks with big V-8 engines - though changes like carbon fiber beds and tech-forward interiors show how the game has advanced a bit. But even in their arrested development, these are still the best-selling vehicles in the country and profit leaders for their manufacturers, who will continue to scrap for every bit of competitive advantage.

A MAN wrote the name of his attacker in his own blood as he could not tell police who was responsible.
Paul Harvey could not speak after he was attacked at his Colchester home by his long-time friend Spencer Wragg, a court heard.
Gerald Renouf, prosecuting, told Chelmsford Crown Court: “He managed to call police, but his mouth was so swollen he was unable to speak.
“When police asked him who had been responsible, he wrote the name ‘Spencer’ on the tile floor in his own blood.”
Mr Harvey was shaken and upset by the attack and is now nervous, timid and afraid to leave his home.
He is also very self-conscious about a cut to his lip which sometimes attracts odd looks.
Wragg, 36, was jailed for four years, after admitting causing Mr Harvey grevious bodily harm with intent.
Judge Christopher Ball QC also gave him an exended licence of three years. This means Wragg could be recalled to prison if he offends again within the next seven years.
Judge Ball said: “The extended licence will keep a close eye on you and give you the support you would benefit from.”
The court heard the incident took place on May 15 last year, after Wragg had an argument with his partner at their home in London Road, Colchester.
He left and went to Mr Harvey’s home, at Chinook, in High Woods, with another man.
As they talked, Wragg asked Mr Harvey: “Do you know anyone I can beat up ?”
Mr Renouf said: “Mr Harvey thought this was very strange and then without warning, the defendant got up and grabbed Mr Harvey by the throat.
“Mr Harvey later described the defendant as ‘like a psycho in his eyes’, before he was headbutted and remembers lying on the floor where he was kicked.”
Wragg left and Mr Harvey called police. At hospital, he was treated for a fractured cheekbone, cuts and bruises and swelling to his mouth.
Stephen Rose, mitigating, said Wragg had shown genuine remorse over what he had done.
He said: “He feels very sorry over what he did and regrets the injuries he is responsible for.
“He is capable of behaving himself, is drug free and wants to live up to his family responsibilities.” Hedron Archive - A Magic the Gathering (MTG) Card Review
To some older Magic players, Hedron Archive may look rather familiar. That's because it's a functionally similar card to an old EDH favorite, Dreamstone Hedron, which was first printed in Rise of the Eldrazi. This is essentially two-thirds of that card. It costs 4, and taps for 2 colorless mana. You can also pay 2 colorless mana, tap, and sacrifice it to draw 2 cards. The Dreamstone Hedron cost 6, but tapped for 3 mana, and could tap and be sacrificed for 3 mana to draw 3 cards. This is simply a version that's lower on the mana curve, but serves pretty much the same purpose.
I can see a lot of EDH (Commander) players wanting this card in much the same way they want the older Hedron. It's a pretty decent mana rock that replaces itself and gives you a plus-one when you need it. Is it Constructed playable? The older Hedron never really did at 6 mana, but this one being much lower on the curve potentially could. Personally, I think it's just going to see Limited and Commander play, but the latter means that foils could be in the realm of $2-3 given time. Definitely a card that I like.

Born-and-raised Kelowna boy and “car guy” to the core, Andrew likes to start his workday with a little waterskiing at the crack of dawn.
I meet | Andrew for the first time early one morning and can’t miss him as he pulls into our meeting place in an absolutely stunning 1967 Firebird 400 convertible that quickly draws a crowd of onlookers. I think to myself — “this guy’s got some serious style!”
A career in car sales was a natural fit for Andrew. He was born into the business — his grandfather owned the first GM store in Kelowna until about 1970 and then a Honda store after that.
“I grew up around that store, cleaning cars and sweeping the lot. I’ve always really liked cars,” he says.
His innate love and ability to connect with people was another factor.
“I got into the business really because I like working with people. I’ve always tried to be very personable and easy to talk with. It’s fun for me, meeting new people and talking with and learning about them. You meet all sorts of people in this business — some of our clients have amazing collections, so I get to experience and see them. Connecting a person with what they’ve always wanted is what makes it a lot of fun and keeps me in it.”
In addition to the aforementioned love of waterskiing, Andrew is also passionate about the very new addition to his family — his five-month-old son.
Asked what quality he hopes to pass on to his son, Andrew says, “Being a dad is something I’ve always looked forward to and if I could pass something on to him, it would be to treat people with respect. That’s the way I grew up … to always have respect for the people around you and for people who are older than you. Sometimes I feel that it’s something that has been lost. Everybody you meet has a story and if you understand that and give respect, it’s easier to solve problems.”
When it comes to style, for Andrew, it’s all in the attention to detail.
“If you’re looking at car style it’s all about the lines, all about the shape, the look; it’s how each piece plays into each other. And how the pieces play into each other is the same thing I like with personal style. It’s finding little things that match: carrying a colour from the shirt into the shoe, matching a watch band with a belt. It’s the attention to details. You don’t have to be wearing a suit and tie to have good style; it can be really simple, basic stuff. But good style is when attention has been paid to the details.”
CLOTHES / GROOMING
Uniform: Business attire in the winter and business casual in the summer. “I like to make sure I incorporate items that work together — that could be belts, shoes or even a watch strap. Little things can make a simple suit pop and stand out in a crowd.”
Favourite denim, brand and cut: Heritage 34, straight cut. “Nothing beats a great pair of jeans; the most versatile piece of clothing you can own.”
Current go-to clothing item: “My Lloyd shoes. I like a shoe that can work with lots of looks. My shoes can dress up jeans or dress down a suit and tie to make it more relaxed.”
Accessory you spend the most money on: Shoes.
Favourite work tool: “My iPhone. Good or bad, it seems to be essential for organization and communication.”
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban.
Scent: Polo Red by Ralph Lauren.
Who cuts your hair: Yasmine at MVP Hair for Men.
Favourite skincare products: Clinique for Men.
Favourite place to shop: Landmark Clothiers, Kelowna.
STYLE INSPIRATION / LIFE
Favourite car: “My fave car to drive is Firebird, but the dream car that to me is a piece of art, is the Aston Martin db9. It’s just a really pretty car.”
Iconic celebrity who has inspired your style: Steve McQueen.

Southern Storm: Sherman's March to the Sea
Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's march through Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah was perhaps the most dramatic military episode of the American Civil War, and it left an indelible mark on the American historical memory. Trudeau brings an encyclopedic knowledge of the copious controversial literature on this subject to this book and takes readers in Sherman's footsteps on a day-by-day account of the march, using journals, newspapers, and other sources to re-create everything from the weather to the conflicting guesses among the Confederates and the Yankees about where, exactly, Sherman was headed. At times, the day-by-day approach is frustrating, as a thicket of details seems to obscure the overall narrative line. However, over time, Trudeau's painstaking technique succeeds in creating an unforgettable picture of the march. By the fall of 1864, the South was in a state of political and strategic collapse. Fire-eating Confederate newspaper editors issued calls for the population to rise up and resist, and Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, dispatched a bevy of generals to face the invader, but the South was losing its will and its ability to fight on. Sherman's march exposed the futility of the Confederate cause while sharply reminding Southerners that the cost of continued resistance was likely to grow. Although the March to the Sea increased the bitterness of the war, and contributed significantly to Southern resentment in generations to come, it had decisive consequences in bringing the conflict to a close. This unconventional narrative is ultimately a very satisfying read.

Later Helen and her family also started travelling to Japan, which further exposed Helen to different types of art apart from the artworks of Europe. This had a strong influence on Helen’s later artworks as she has enjoyed painting various subjects feeling that her works are eclectic as are her tastes in other areas of her life.
Helen was also very much influenced by her first art teacher and her father, who was a self-published Russian poet, with his books throughout Australian libraries and universities.
Her father often spoke of Russian traditions and his previous homeland and this has been reflected in Helen’s artworks which at times show a strong Eastern European influence. Helen works in a variety of mediums but prefers watercolour. Her interest in art was reawakened after travelling extensively overseas and she resumed painting, realizing this was her true passion.

NBA Draft's Third Round Might Be Best Thing To Come From Lockout
By Scott Schroeder Sep 7, 2011, 9:12am EDT
Share All sharing options for: NBA Draft's Third Round Might Be Best Thing To Come From Lockout
The NBA Draft board would look quite different than this if the NBA's current proposal goes through after the NBA lockout.
Let's get this clear right off the bat: the NBA lockout is by no means a good thing in any way, shape or form. That said, if somehow there are no regular season games missed, an addition of a third round to the annual NBA Draft would make the lockout seem a lot less pointless than it currently stands with the main argument centered around billionaires and millionaires making more money.
I've suggested the NBA adds a third round to the NBA Draft for quite a few years, most recently summarized in this post from July, but former ESPN writer Chris Sheridan reports that the NBA has actually proposed a few options regarding extending the draft during the current collective bargaining talks.
Unfortunately, it seems that adding a third round could be a quite convoluted set-up -- at least compared to the easiest solution of simply tacking on another 30 picks to the end of the second round -- if Sheridan's sources aren't simply spit-balling.
Under one proposal, the 15 teams with the worst records would continue to pick 1st through 15th, but then would also have the 16th through 30th picks. The teams with the top 15 records would have the first 15 picks of the second round, then would have the 44th through 60th picks, too. Under this proposal, the Chicago Bulls (whose 62-20 record was the league's best last season) would have the 45th and 60th picks instead of the 30th and 30th picks. The Minnesota Timberwolves, who had the NBA's worst record (17-65), would have their lottery pick and the 16th pick, but would no longer have the first pick of the second round - No. 31 overall.
Under another proposal, the teams with the eight worst records would get an additional first round pick, beginning with selection No. 22, and the teams with the eight best records would have no first-round picks but would select at the top of the second round (picks 31 through 38), then also would get the final eight picks of the second round.
I believe I'm siding with the second proposal if those are the only two options, but I'm not sure the draft needs that much of an overhaul as it is -- though it would seem to help the D-League regardless, with or without changes to the D-League in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
As the Oklahoma City Thunder have done so well, as I wrote about awhile back, the majority of teams would probably send their third round picks to the D-League while maintaining the player's rights in the future. It's been said that a change would need to be made to make that a possibility, but the Thunder have shown | 1,024 | 1 |

Nigeria has, this year, become Africa’s largest nation and economy, and is now ranked 26th in the world, thanks, in part, to its oil wealth, mainly in the south – something that is also fought over.

For her the conflict in Nigeria, at least that part for which Boko Haram can be held responsible, is about religion – or rather the patriarchal putting down of women, and jihadist suspicion of the liberal West. | In a recent Wall Street Journal piece, Ali wrote that:
“The kidnapping of the schoolgirls throws into bold relief a central part of what the jihadists are about: the oppression of women. Boko Haram sincerely believes that girls are better off enslaved than educated. The terrorists’ mission is no different from that of the Taliban assassin who shot and nearly killed 15-year-old Pakistani Malala Yousafzai—as she rode a school bus home in 2012—because she advocated girls’ education. As I know from experience, nothing is more anathema to the jihadists than equal and educated women.”
#BringBackOurGirls, Western ignorance about Africa
Boko Haram were behind the kidnapping of some 276 Chibok schoolgirls last month which attracted international attention with the social media Twitter campaign #BringBackOurGirls. Again, somewhat indiscriminate as though the majority were Christian, several were Muslim, around 50 have subsequently escaped. Indeed, some images used to highlight their plight were not even of the kidnapped girls, or even Nigerian.
Malala #BringBackOurGirls
The West only kicked up a fuss when it was schoolgirls that were kidnapped, much as Live Aid in the 1980s fed off the famine of Africa’s starving using emotional images to stir up interest in a continent we were otherwise willing to ignore. US television networks ignored Boko Haram this last year despite 1500+ recent killings because African lives are worth less or, perhaps, even considered worthless. News stories for just 4 missing British sailors, a child-saving cat, or the latest UKIP xenophobic “Bongo-Bongo land” own-goal, dominate over any news from the “Dark Continent“, a reference originally not to race or colour, but to Africa’s remote and mysterious unknowns. To this day, for many, it remains a great unknown.
“The more Westerners learn about Africa from Africans, the better.” – Robert Bates
“Unfortunately…most westerners form their opinions of Africa based on the reporting and news in their own countries” – Louise Mushikiwabo
Africa’s languages around Nigeria
In a 2010 Guardian article, Louise Mushikiwabo, Rwanda’s Foreign Minister, went on to say that “In a globalised world we need to know more about each other than ever and the absence of genuine engagement only serves to exacerbate suspicion, and may affect the lives of the very citizens whom we all ultimately serve.” This could apply to any ethnic or ideological group, not only Africa and its 53 nations and thousands of languages.
Indeed, to every headline there is often a complex contextual backstory, no less so than in Nigeria. For instance, this AllAfrica report by Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report, cites the background to the Boko Haram kidnapping:
“Boko Haram members were detained by the police in 2011 and 2012 and that the group swore revenge. Boko Haram leader Abubakr Shekau said in one of his many videos, “Since you are now holding our women, just wait and see what will happen to your own women… to your own wives according to sharia law.” The kidnappings of the past two years are a direct result of the government’s mistreatment of its people and its failed efforts to fight Boko Haram.” – Margaret Kimberley, Nigeria: How Not to ‘Bring Back Our Girls’
Boko Haram, may also turn out to be behind this week’s most recent terrorist bombing atrocity, similar to their double car bombing Christmas Day attack of 2010 in Jos – though they have not yet claimed responsibility.
Nigeria’s oxymoronically named President Goodluck Jonathan has described them as “enemies of human progress and civilisation”, a “tragic assault on human freedom”.
President Jonathan, whose wife is called Patience, are Christians from the Ijaw people of southern Nigeria. He holds a Masters degree and a PhD in Zoology and prior to entering politics and becoming President had worked in education and environmental protection. His people, the Ijaws, since the late 1990s had been involved in mainly peaceful protest against the oil companies‘ exploitation of their homeland and suffered state | 1,024 | 1 |

MoneySavers report getting invited to trial products after filling in surveys. There's also a product testing section on its site, where you can apply for trials directly.
I was sent three products in consecutive weeks soon after joining Toluna. Then nothing for over a year (despite applying every week). Then I got two in consecutive weeks. So it's pretty random.
The top-paying site in our Online Survey Sites guide, i-Say also lets members test products for free. Just register to take part in surveys and you'll occasionally get invited to take part in trials.
It's well worth signing up for i-Say's paid surveys anyway, as many forumites rack up £10 or more of Amazon vouchers every month.
Even better, you earn points for taking surveys on the free products you receive – between 5 and 250 points for each – which can then be redeemed for vouchers. For example, you need 490 points to get a £5 Amazon voucher.
i-Say have sent me products to test: a pack of nappies, box of sanitary towels and some crisps. You get paid for doing the initial survey, then again for the follow-up.
Tesco Home Panels has a cult following on the MSE Forum, but is currently not taking on new members. It says to check its site again in a few weeks.
It sends users trial products from – you've guessed it – Tesco. Forumites have amassed £100s of goodies, including jumpers, shaving foam, cat litter, a dishwasher, loo roll and school polo shirts, to name a few.
You need a free Tesco Clubcard to apply. Not everyone is selected though, as it often looks for people from certain groups (but won't say which ones). Some people in the forum suggest you may get more freebies if you shop there.
They won't always select you, but even if they don't, you get one point for doing the survey to apply to test a product. Once you rack up 50, you're automatically sent a £10 Bonusbond voucher, valid at multiple retailers, including Argos, Boots and Debenhams.
Some MoneySavers have also been paid £35 to take part in focus groups on products in person.
I've been a member for two years and have tested about 12 products from sanitary towels to a coat. My husband tested a shirt too.
A huge hit with MoneySavers, the Boots Volunteer Panel tests big-name products including No7, Soltan, Soap & Glory, Botanics and Champneys.
The scheme's been running a while, but unfortunately it's currently closed to new applicants. It opens up to new members every now and then, so do check back.
By no | .
Trials are posted on Alba's site, so check it regularly – you can sign up here. It's worth liking Alba on Facebook, and following it on Twitter, for tip-offs on new trials.
Alba says 'home trial' freebie products have been safety-tested and many are already on the market – it's just trying to substantiate marketing claims and get consumer opinion. The company also offers paid research studies separately, and makes it clear when products are at the earlier stages of testing.
Sign up to the My Mothercare loyalty scheme and you could be selected to test products for big brands such as Bugaboo, Fisher-Price and Silver Cross. Past freebies have included toys, pushchairs and breast pumps.
First, join My Mothercare for free. Once you've registered, you'll be in with the chance of being invited to new projects by email. You then reply and it selects applicants at random, so it's still not guaranteed.
Also keep an eye on Mothercare's Facebook page, where it says it will announce new product tests.
When you join, you'll get a voucher for £10 off a £100 spend, plus early access to Mothercare sales.

By no | means everyone is accepted – Boots only selects certain people to ensure it has a mix of demographics. From what we've seen on social media, there seems to be a roughly 50-50 chance of getting in, though it's likely it'll be swamped with applications right now as we're featuring it in our weekly email.
It's well worth keeping an eye on as it says it typically hands out 30,000 free items a year. If you are selected, Boots will let you know about new trials by email – you then apply online.
This week I have had bath foam, mascara, hand cream and stretch-mark cream. Hubby has had shave gel, moisturising face cream and deodorant.
I received a Remington facial brush, RRP £80 :-D. Very happy today.
I love the Boots panel. I haven't bought foundation in ages, as I keep getting sent them. Have had massage oils, face cleansers, nail varnish, lippy, mascara, eyeliner, deodorant, hair serums… you name it.
Who can join? People aged 18 to 80.
Extra payment on top? It sometimes pays Boots vouchers for tasks that require extra effort, such as taking photos.
Mega-popular online survey site Pinecone (see our Survey Sites guide for more on this side of things) also sends out free products to test.
The catch is it's invitation-only, and the recruitment process seems like it's more secretive than the Freemasons'. You have to wait until you're invited or spot a web banner advert on another site to sign up.
Several MoneySavers have bagged free items via Pinecone. But they are not allowed to reveal which ones – the first rule of Pinecone is "you do not talk about Pinecone". We've included this here so you'll know to jump if an invite appears.
'Review and share' sites are where companies send freebies, but instead of just asking for feedback, they also ask you to discuss products with pals and on social media. This could mean handing out money-off coupons to mates or posting on Facebook or Twitter.
Once a task is completed, you send the company a link to a blog comment/Twitter post or submit a 'report' of a conversation with a friend. You'll be ranked based on how often and how well you share.
The sites say you should never spam about the products, and you can share both positive and negative experiences – what you say is up to you.
Always let people know you got the product for free. Ensure those you talk to understand you're a member of a scheme and are trialling the product for nothing.
Under consumer law, people need to ensure that if they are paid or get a product free, posts or comments are clearly labeled as such. For more, see this Influencers Guide from the Advertising Standards Authority and Competition & Markets Authority.
Do this with integrity – be truthful, as others may rely on your views when choosing how to spend their money.
Plus remember, posting reviews about products on this site's forum just to blag freebies breaks our rules.
Covering Procter & Gamble products, Savvy Circle doles out goodies from brands including Olay, Fairy, Aussie, Max Factor and Braun. As well as feeding back on products, you're expected to mention them in everyday conversation and online.
It encourages you to share the freebies with friends and family, then feed back their opinions. As always, explain to pals why you have the freebie and how it works.
The site awards stars each time you add to a 'campaign', for example by submitting a report on a chat you had with a friend or commenting on a blog. The more stars, the more freebies.
Received my Braun shavers from Savvy Circle today. A Series 9 razor for my husband – he's going to be really pleased when he gets back from work! I got the face epilator and can't wait to try it out.
You can earn loads of free products through marketing company BzzAgent. MoneySavers have bagged Vanish stain remover, E45 lotion and even electric toothbrushes.
The catch? As an 'agent', once you receive products, you must start "meaningful and authentic convers | 1,024 | 1 |

subtle breeze on a flower was the part of the idea.
Dance was the most movement I’ve had to do in my life so mixing movement and dance is a reflection of what Sisiano is. Now I’m conscious that I’m really about the movement. It might seem like it’s about free fitted clothing but it’s not really that it’s about movement.
There’s no limitation to dance, that’s why there are many forms in dance. If I want to make tightly fitted clothes it would be to study movement. When I look at my clothes I’m glad they are a reflection of who I am.
As a designer how grateful are you that everything you need can be found in your country?
I love Nigeria because it pushes you to thrive. We have things that are limited but we learn as Nigerians to make it work. When you go hunting for fabric in Lagos, you often don’t get a lot but as designers, we make a lot from that little. The system pushes us to work more.
It’s not the best way to teach but it gets the job done. It teaches us to think out of the box and create something stunning. It also teaches you what you can do with limited resources that way when there is an abundance of resources you do more.
Read excerpts from Ade Bakre’s interview:
Congratulations on celebrating 30 years in the industry. How would you reckon Nigerian fashion has evolved from that point?
When I studied fashion then, Nigeria was very focused on things being done abroad and I think that had a lot to do with quality because during the oil boom in the 80s, there was a lot of wealth in Nigeria, so a lot of people used to go abroad and buy things.
Then, there was a focus on what they used to call “ready-made” which basically meant clothes that were well made, and they would go abroad and buy a lot of that. So I sort of witnessed the tail end of that.
Tell us about your journey back home. At what point did you decide you had to return?
There was a time I stopped designing because I then wanted to be more in Paris, so I went there looking to work for a powerful fashion house to no success. I also travelled to other top countries of the world and met the same outcome.
By that time, Google was already around and all the couture houses gave the same response: “We’ve just googled you and saw that you’ve been around doing your business. Why do you want to work for us? Are you a spy or something?” *laughs*.
So I went back to England and that was when I started coming to Nigeria to do shows. Before you know it, I got sucked into the Nigerian system and opened a shop here.
You were then the official designer for the ex-first lady, late Stella Obasanjo. Was she the one who brought you back here?
She didn’t bring me back fully but the role introduced me to the market here because she introduced me to a lot of people and clients, and I kept on going back and forth having to deliver to them and then back to England with my business still running over there.
I started selling from my first collection because it (the clothes) was well made. It wasn’t until the recession started in England when problems started settling in that I switched from ready-to-wear to couture.
When I started couture, Dele Momodu (for Ovation magazine) wrote a story about me designing for one of the Princesses of Monaco and I think that garnered some sort of interest in me from Nigerians because a lot of people were then coming to me, especially for their wedding dresses because they were too pricey but when it came to weddings, there was no expense spared.
We do that for a lot of major families in Nigeria, and that’s when I started having more exposure and understanding of what Nigerians are doing. So I would always be invited to fashion shows, I would see the other designers and look at what they are doing.
At the time, the Nigerian market was really opening up and was very fertile. So a friend found a shop here for me and suggested that I set up one here as well. Which is where we have been for almost 12 years now, going strong.
At 61 years old, do you think our fashion is independent yet with regards to how desperately we seek western validation?
Evolution is a process and we are getting there. If we go a bit further in the past, there has | subtle breeze on a flower was the part of the idea.

At 61 years old, do you think our fashion is independent yet with regards to how desperately we seek western validation?
Evolution is a process and we are getting there. If we go a bit further in the past, there has | been a lot of colonial mentality and brainwashing which is bound to happen because we were conquered and ruled by them, they were here for such a long time, and even our educational system is still based on their curriculum, so we are slightly beheld to them but we are beginning to come out of that to recognise our own.
Also, I think Nigerians are beginning to understand that fashion is not a hobby, it is a profession. It is not something you dabble into if you can’t make it at the conventional professional career. I always feel education is the gap that needs to be closed.
I was fortunate to come from a background that is pro academia. It was from the education that I got the training and confidence to do other things in fashion like designing uniforms for airlines, restaurants, and hotels.
Another thing I want to touch upon and this is very salient. People would always say “oh you’re in the west and you came to set up in Nigeria,” and I say “yes, there’s a huge market here.” As an entrepreneur, you go to where there’s a market; so you have a lot of English designers going to Italy, French designers going to America.
I feel that Nigerians have to recognise the fact that there is a market here. Before you start looking to sell in Paris, Milan, New York, have you sold in Enugu, Kano, and Lagos? Because at the end of the day, fashion is a business and businesses are about turnovers.
