title: Abuse of Weakness

text:
Abuse of Weakness () is a 2013 semi-autobiographical film written and directed by Catherine Breillat. The film had its world premiere on 6 September 2013 at the Toronto International Film Festival. In the United States, the film was acquired by Strand Releasing and given a release in December 2014.

Plot
Maud Shainberg suffers a cerebral hemorrhage that leaves her paralysed on one half of her body. After a year of intense therapy Maud, a director, begins to work on a new project. After seeing an interview with a con-man, Vilko Piran, she immediately asks him to star as the lead in her film, about a lower-class man who falls in love with a famous actress, eventually beating her to death. Vilko accepts but insists that he see Maud as much as possible before filming begins.

Production
In 2007, Breillat met notorious conman Christophe Rocancourt, and offered him a leading role in a film that she was planning to make, based on her own novel Bad Love, and starring Naomi Campbell. Soon after, she gave him €25,000 to write a screenplay titled La vie amoureuse de Christophe Rocancourt (The Love Life of Christophe Rocancourt), and over the next year and a half, would give him loans totalling an additional €678,000. In 2009, a book written by Breillat was published, in which she alleged that Rocancourt had taken advantage of her diminished mental capacity, as she was still recovering from her stroke. The book was entitled Abus de faiblesse, a French legal term usually translated as "abuse of weakness" and was the basis for the movie of the same title.

Reception
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 85%, based on 34 reviews, with an average score of 6.7/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Abuse of Weakness fact-based plot proves that truth can be stranger than fiction – and provide grist for compelling character studies." At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the film received an average score of 77, based on 16 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

title: Phoebe Amelia Watson

text:
Phoebe Amelia Watson (1 June 1858 – 22 October 1947) was a Canadian painter and curator. She worked in painted ceramics, watercolor and oils.
She was the sister of Homer Watson, the well-known landscape artist, and devoted much of her life to promoting her brother's work, including her role as the  curator of the Homer Watson Art Gallery at Doon.

Life

Phoebe Amelia Watson was born on 1 June 1858 in the village of Doon, now part of the city of Kitchener, Ontario (the area was then in Canada West). Her parents, Ransford Watson (1824–1861) and Susannah Mohr, had married on 3 October 1852. They owned a mill. Phoebe Amelia Watson belonged to the Christadelphians.

Her brother was Homer Watson (1855–1936), who became a celebrated artist. She left school while she was in her teens to help support her widowed mother and her siblings so her brother could devote himself to his art. It was said that "Miss Watson throughout her life has preferred rather than to put forward her own undoubted attainments, to base her chief claim to fame on her relationship with the painter of Doon, who from her childhood days loomed on her horizon a genius."

Watson painted china, and also painted landscapes and portraits in watercolor and oil. In 1896, the Women's Art Association of Canada (WAAC) decided to commission a Canadian State Dinner Service to be painted on china by members of the association. The chosen artists included Watson, Lily Osman Adams (1865–1945) and Alice Egan. Watson painted twelve of the soup plates. Among Watson's portraits are six of mayors of Waterloo, Ontario, and two of Queen Victoria. Her work was exhibited by the Ontario Society of Artists and the Women's Art Association of Canada.

Watson moved into her brother Homer's house after his wife Roxanna died in 1918.  She became a curator of the Homer Watson Art Gallery in Doon, and held this post until her death on 22 October 1947.  She never married. She was buried in the Kinzie Cemetery, Kitchener.

As of 2004, the Homer Watson house was an art school and a small gallery with four rooms that feature the work of Homer Watson and other artists.

title: Absent Minds: Intellectuals in Britain

text:
Absent Minds: Intellectuals in Britain is a 2006 book written by Stefan Collini and published by Oxford University Press.

Content
Collini's focus is upon the relative absence of the public intellectual from the long-term tradition of British culture (over the course of around 100 years), in contrast to another culture such as the French or 19th-century Russia (though as Collini himself notes, these comparisons are often highly questionable, with an outside perception of French intellectualism being countered by many French people looking at the situation from their own viewpoint).

At the beginning Collini asserts clearly that the concept of intellectualism is in itself enormously complex, and that any word such as that contains a multiplicity of meanings depending on what set of signifiers it is connected to. In this sense he explores the roots of the term itself, tracing them to their evolution into the English language from its origins in French in the nineteenth century and beyond.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the meanings with which the term is associated relates to the question of the value judgments applied as a corollary of them. The work explores the notion of the repudiation of the very concept of public intellectualism by certain key figures who might in fact be seen as exemplars of intellectualism such as T. S. Eliot, G. M. Trevelyan, Bertrand Russell, R. G. Collingwood, George Orwell, A. J. P. Taylor, and A. J. Ayer. Collini refers to this as a "paradox of denial" and analyses why such a situation should have arisen in the first place. In part, again, this has its roots in history: one aspect of the British antipathy to the overly abstract or theoretical is the patrimony of the French Revolution which was seen by many across the English Channel as being a phenomenon which was too abstract (driven by a discourse of the Rights of Man, for instance) in a way which led to a suspect gulf between rhetoric and reality. Orwell in particular might be seen as the apogee of the curious mixture of intellectualism and anti-intellectualism that has been a hallmark of some of the greatest thinkers in British culture; people who are attracted to the realm of ideas and work well within it but at the same time are suspicious of abstract thinking that is not rooted in the empirical and the everyday.

The book ends on an arguably optimistic note, asserting that despite the prevalence of celebrity culture and certain forms of superficiality in public life and discourse, there remains an urgent need (and possible supply) of public intellectualism, noting that there is a role for "issues of common interest [that are] considered in ways that are... more reflective or more analytical, better informed or better expressed".

Overall it is argued that intellectualism is likely to be an important force in public life in the 21st century, though in British and Anglophone culture it might not always be referred to with such an appellation.

title: Samuel Whelpley

text:
Samuel Whelpley (1766 – July 14, 1817) was an American Presbyterian preacher and religious writer.

Early life, education, and career
Born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts to Samuel and Hannah Whelpley, from Wilton, Fairfield County, Connecticut, Whelpley's parents were subsistence farmers who belonged to a small Baptist church, where Whelpley's father was a deacon.

As a child, Whelpley was described as "large for one of his age; was fond of sport, and averse to labour; was rash and reckless from the strength of his feelings, but chargeable with no vice; was awkward and ungainly in his appearance; but when he got hold of a book, he devoured it with the utmost avidity". Whelpley studied Theology under Dr. Stephen West, became a Baptist preacher, and on June 21, 1792 was ordained pastor of the congregation where his father was deacon. After preaching for some time to this church, Whelpley moved to West Stockbridge, where in 1792 a Baptist congregation was formed, and where in 1794 a church was built. He spent several years there before being persuaded to move to Green River, New York to lead a nondenominational congregation. Around 1798, he moved from Green River to Morristown, New Jersey, where he took charge of an Academy, "gaining an increasing reputation as both a preacher and an academic instructor".

Presbyterian Church career
On April 24, 1806, Whelpley formally sought to change to the Presbyterian Church, and completed his studies and was accepted into that church on October 8, 1806. In October 1809, Whelpley was sent to the Presbytery of Jersey, which had split from that of New York. In the latter part of 1809, a hemorrhage at the lungs, with some other alarming symptoms, led Whelpley to temporarily relocate to a more Southern climate. He went to Savannah, Georgia, taking with him his son Philip Melancthon and leaving the rest of his family at Newark. His health improved enough that he was able to take charge of a small school, which covered most of his expenses in Savannah. He returned to Newark in 1811, with his illness somewhat reduced. In July 1814, he sought to transfer to the Presbytery of New York, where he thereafter remained until his death.

By 1816, Whelpley had retired from preaching. In 1816 and 1817, Whelpley compiled several of his sermons into a volume entitled The Triangle: a Series of Numbers Upon Three Theological Points, which was "designed to prove the superiority of what was commonly called the New England Theology to the stricter form of Calvinism". Written largely in response to Ezra Stiles Ely's 1811 book, A Contrast Between Calvinism and Hopkinsianism, Whelpley "defended New England Calvinism and attacked what he called the 'triangular theology' of Ely", the asserted triangle consisting of the doctrines of "the imputation of Adam's sin, human inability, and limited atonement". The Triangle was deemed "a work of no inconsiderable power; but it met the severest condemnation on the one hand, while it was received with the highest praise on the other".

Personal life
While living in Stockbridge, Whelpley married Nancy Wheaton of West Stockbridge. They had at least three children, two of whom entered the ministry. Whelpley's fragile health became increasingly burdensome over the course of his life, and in the end he "languished for some time in a state of great debility", and died at the age of 51.

In addition to The Triangle, Whelpley wrote "Compend of Ancient and Modern History; a Sermon on the Immortality of the Soul", delivered at Newark in 1804; "Thoughts on the state of departed Souls: a Sermon", delivered at Morristown in 1807; and a Sermon entitled "The destruction of wicked nations; Letters on Capital Punishment and War, addressed to Governor Strong", an Oration delivered at Morristown on July 4, 1809 (Whelpley was too unwell at the time to deliver it, and it was read by his son, Philip Melancthon).

The Industry Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN) is a Brazilian industrial federation from the state of Rio de Janeiro that acts as a representative of the state's industries at municipal, state and national levels. The organization, one of the five that comprehend the FIRJAN System, also promotes debates and produces researches, studies and projects aiming Rio de Janeiro's sustainable development. The provision of services to companies affiliated to it (more than 8,000) targets the industrial, social and economic growth of Rio de Janeiro state.

History

FIRJAN was founded in 1975, but its history dates back to earlier decades. In December 1941, the Industrial Unions Federation in Federal District (FSIDF) had to adapt itself to new provisions of the corporate system of Estado Novo regime, and was renamed Industry Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJ), keeping the goal of bringing together unions of the industrial group. At that time, Rio was the capital of Brazil.

Over the next thirty years, the name would change three more times: the first change was in 1958 for Industry Federation of the Federal District (FIDF). Then in 1960, when the federal capital was moved to Brasilia and a new federative unit was created, it became Industry Federation of the State of Guanabara (FIEGA). And finally, in 1975 - when the Federation of Industries of the State of Guanabara (FIEGA) merged with the Industry Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIERJ) - the new entity was renamed Industry Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FIRJAN), a name that is maintained until today.

The FIRJAN System only came to be implanted in 1994, gathering FIRJAN, CIRJ and related entities SESI Rio, SENAI Rio and IEL Rio.

Operation

FIRJAN develops actions in the economic/business field and is a source for both matters of the State of Rio de Janeiro and national issues. It develops and promotes regional projects in a joint effort by companies, government bodies and various institutions, for example, the Metropolitan Arc, that will withdraw from the streets about 35 thousand vehicles per day, according to the federation's predictions, avoiding another R$29 bi loss for the city of Rio de Janeiro, as happened in 2013;

It also promotes regional representations, through which companies in Rio de Janeiro state act in an integrated manner on several projects with access to relevant information (such as the damage caused by bureaucracy to the profile of broadband in the country) and make their actions known; and Corporate social responsibility, which consists in supporting social politics through partnerships.

title: Paul Whitener

text:
Paul Austin Wayne Whitener (1911-1959) was an American landscape painter and museum director.  He founded the Hickory Museum of Art in 1944, and served as Director until his death in 1959.

Early life and education
Whitener was born on September 9, 1911, in Lincoln County, and grew up in Hickory, North Carolina.  He attended Duke University on a football scholarship. As a journalism student, his artistic endeavors were limited to the occasional cartoon for the university newspaper.  When a number of sports-related injuries brought his college career to an end in 1935, Whitener began to more seriously explore his interest in art.
After leaving the university, Whitener took a job with a state transportation agency in the mountain resort of Little Switzerland, North Carolina. Here, he met an art student, Mildred “Mickey” McKinney, who became his wife in August 1936. Further encouraged by Mickey, Whitener enrolled in the Ringling Summer School of Art, an art school based in Sarasota, Florida and held annually in Little Switzerland.  He studied with artist and Florida instructor Donald Blake, traveling frequently to the mountains of North Carolina to paint. Whitener was also introduced to New York artist Frank Stanley Herring during this time.  Herring’s own artistic pursuits had brought him to the mountains of North Carolina, but he agreed to give instruction to Whitener.

Hickory Museum of Art
In 1940, the Whiteners met New York painter Wilford S. Conrow at an art exhibition in Asheville, North Carolina. For the next fourteen years, Whitener studied with Conrow during the artist’s summer stay in North Carolina.  Conrow supported and encouraged Whitener’s long-time interest in the establishment of a museum of art in Hickory, and, during these years of study, plans for the Hickory Museum of Art were drawn. Whitener sought to develop an institution that would promote American art and of that of North Carolina’s Piedmont region. In 1943, Whitener, with the help of his wife and local industrialist A. Alex Shuford, Jr., succeeded in assembling an art association in Hickory. In November, the association held their first exhibition in a vacant office building, and in February 1944, the Hickory Museum of Art was formally dedicated.  Whitener was unanimously voted museum director, a position he held for the next fifteen years.

Work and legacy
Whitener’s work consists primarily of landscape paintings, though he also worked in portraiture. He continued to produce highly stylized landscapes and commission portraits during his management of the museum.  He was a meticulous painter, using a carefully drawn underpainting, and often beginning works of the same subject numerous times from different angles. In 1955, Whitener was left paralyzed on his right side after surgery could not fully remove a brain tumor. Through declining health, Whitener taught himself to paint again with his left hand. His later work is characterized by brightly colored, impressionistic renderings of landscapes.
Whitener died in Hickory in 1959 at the age of 48, leaving his position at the Hickory Museum of Art to his wife, Mickey Whitener Coe.  He completed his last painting only three months before his death.

title: Bill Jensen

text:
Bill Jensen (born 1945) is an American abstract painter.

Education
Jensen was born in 1945 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He studied at University of Minnesota, where he earned his BFA in 1968 and his MFA in 1970. He has lived and worked in New York City since the early 1970s. Jensen was one of the artist pioneers who established a studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Career

Early years
In 1971, Jensen was included in a group show at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. His first solo exhibition was at Fischbach Gallery in New York in 1973.

Mature work
Jensen’s abstract works have been praised for their unconventional compositions and profound sense of color. In 1986, Jensen was included in a group show at Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. In the same year, he had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Jensen explores certain realms of the inner life through abstraction. His works create an invented world which pulses with feelings that relate to real life without depicting it.
Jensen had one-person exhibitions at Mary Boone Gallery in 1993, 1995, 1998, 2001, and 2002. Jensen is represented by Cheim & Read Gallery in New York.
Jensen described, “…What abstract art can do is put people in touch with areas of their psyche they’re not normally aware of. […] This other world is where prejudice and wars do not exist. The I, the Me, the you, do not exist there. If you can bring people in touch with that for just a second, then you have a different way of looking at the world.”

Collections
Jensen’s work is held in public collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Graphische Sammlung Albertina (Vienna), Harvard University Art Museums (Cambridge), the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoCA (Los Angeles), the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Phillips Collection (Washington), Stanford University, the Tate Gallery (London), the Walker Art Center, and the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York)

title: DashCon

text:
DashCon (originally titled Tumbl-Con USA) was a fan convention catering primarily to users of the blogging service Tumblr, with a particular emphasis on fandoms. Held over the weekend of July 11, 2014, at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel in Schaumburg, Illinois, the inaugural convention quickly became infamous for allegations of mismanagement and corruption among organizers, an alleged abrupt demand by the hotel for an upfront payment of cash for use of its facilities, and celebrity guests being forced to drop out of the convention after they were informed by the hotel that they would be responsible for paying for their rooms. A small ball pit placed in one of the halls became a meme after organizers offered attendees an "extra hour" in the pit (along with raffle and concert tickets) as reimbursement for a canceled panel.

Organizers for DashCon initially stated they would hold a second DashCon in 2015 despite the issues faced by the inaugural edition, but officially announced via Tumblr post in September 2014 that DashCon LLP would be dissolved and have all its assets liquidated, meaning they would not hold a second convention. The post also denied claims that a similarly themed convention, Emoti-Con, was a re-branded DashCon.

Concept
DashCon was originally announced in mid-2013 under the name Tumbl-Con USA, as a convention catered to users of the blogging platform Tumblr, and was touted as the "largest gathering of Tumblr users to date". The convention was to focus on works that had developed significant followings among Tumblr users, such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, Supernatural and the podcast Welcome to Night Vale. The convention raised money through ticket pre-orders, along with a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Prior to the start of the convention, the name of the event was changed to DashCon (alluding to the site's dashboard feed) to indicate that it was not officially associated with Tumblr.

Convention

The convention was organized by DashCon LLP, a Hudson, Ohio-based limited liability partnership owned by Megan Eli and Roxanne Schwieterman. DashCon was held from July 11 to 13, 2014, at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel. Among the guests originally scheduled to attend were actor Doug Jones, webcomic artist ND Stevenson, and the cast of Welcome to Night Vale.

On the evening of July 11 – the first night of DashCon – early reports began to surface from attendees that events occurring at the convention were poorly planned and attended, a vendor had left due to poor sales, and minors had been admitted into 18+ rated panels. The convention itself also began to experience unexpected financial difficulties: a DashCon staff member claimed that the staff of the Renaissance purportedly informed them that they would need to pay $20,000 upfront for the use of the facilities, or shut the convention down. DashCon organizers claimed to have verbally negotiated to pay the venue gradually throughout the convention using ticket sales, rather than issuing an upfront payment despite their contract suggesting otherwise.

At 9:00 p.m. CT, as a result of this unexpected development, the DashCon organizers began to publicly solicit donations among a crowd of around 350 attendees (itself much lower than the original estimate of 3,000 to 7,000 attendees), and online via PayPal, to cover costs, with a goal of collecting at least $17,000 by 10:00 p.m. to prevent the convention from being shut down. Organizers speculated that the abrupt change in plans was because the hotel's management "[did not] like the people at the con". Attendees were seen performing a three-fingered salute from The Hunger Games, chanting lines from High School Musical, and singing Queen's "We Are the Champions" and "Do You Hear the People Sing?" from Les Misérables. While organizers managed to raise the necessary funds, the incident raised suspicion among attendees over the possibility of the crowdfunding drive being a scam (which included disputes over the authenticity of an image of the bill, printed on hotel stationery, which was released by a staff member), or being further proof of the alleged mismanagement and corruption.

Several guests – including ND Stevenson (who had to moderate his own panel because the scheduled moderator was absent), the Baker Street Babes (who produced an all-female Sherlock Holmes podcast), and the Welcome to Night Vale cast – were also informed by the hotel that they would be responsible for paying for their own rooms, despite previously being told that the rooms would be paid for by the convention itself. Stevenson ultimately joined the WTNV cast for the night in accommodations obtained via Airbnb. The appearance by the Welcome to Night Vale cast was ultimately canceled; organizers did not issue refunds but instead reimbursed those who had purchased tickets for the panel with tickets to a raffle of various autographed collectibles, admission to a concert with the Chicago-based Doctor Who-inspired rock band Time Crash, and an "extra hour with the ball pit".

Reception and aftermath

The ball pit – roughly the size of a kiddie pool, in an otherwise empty concession hall – and the notion of an "extra hour" in it, quickly became a meme among attendees and other Tumblr users, inspiring parodies. Users envisioned other large quantities of items that could have been purchased with the $17,000, and a video game developer created Dashcon Simulator 2014, a comedic simulation of the convention's ball pit. Convention guest Mark Oshiro explained that the ball pit was "not a point of interest, it wasn't something a single soul talked about, and it was just a quirky thing that existed", and that "in order to support the idea that DashCon was a full, 100 percent disaster, every single detail was used to paint the con and the people at it as horrific failures of humanity".

In the aftermath of the convention, a staff member of the hotel stated that the facility did enjoy their presence, while DashCon's staff promised to provide a more thorough explanation of what had occurred. The Baker Street Babes reported that the hotel payment issue was, according to organizers, a mistake. Stevenson, whose hotel payment had not yet been resolved, defended criticism of DashCon by other users, arguing that they were unfamiliar with what typically occurs at a convention in the first place.

Emoti-Con
In September 2014, The Daily Dot published an article where they reported on concerns that DashCon had renamed/rebranded itself Emoti-Con (aka Emoti-Con Indy) which was being led by Cain Hopkins, a co-creator of DashCon. Hopkins's company, So Attacked Entertainment LLC, then created a webpage for the con. The writer noted that the two conventions were nearly identical in their themes, that Emoti-Con was to be held in the same venue that the second DashCon was to be hosted at, the Emoti-Con website contained much of the same text as the DashCon website, and that it was being organized by one of the co-creators of DashCon. DashCon later denied that the two cons were the same via a post on their official Tumblr account, where they stated that while Emoti-Con was being organized by two of the three owners of DashCon, the two events are otherwise unrelated to one another. They also stated that Emoti-Con would be "functioning under a very different infrastructure than DashCon did, with a more experienced and well-rounded staff". Emoti-Con was later canceled, with their official Tumblr account citing "personal, financial, and safety" issues.

title: The Beachland Ballroom

text:
The Beachland Ballroom and Tavern (The Beachland Ballroom or The Beachland) is a music venue located in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. It was founded by Cindy Barber and Mark Leddy.

History of The Beachland
Originally constructed in 1950 as the Croatian Liberty Home, the site was active on many social and political fronts. The ballroom and tavern areas were part of the initial structure, with the kitchen and back bar sections being added in 1976.

Euclid Beach Park, a well-known amusement park that operated between 1894 and 1969, was located at the north end of E. 156th Street, less than a half mile north of the building. The term "Beachland" became slang for the North Collinwood neighborhood around the time, and the venue was named as an homage to the era. Nods to "Beachland" remain in various businesses throughout the area, but little of the former Euclid Beach Park still exists.

title: Kate Cordsen

text:
Kate Cordsen (born 1966, Great Falls, Virginia, United States) is an American photographer and contemporary artist. Cordsen lives in New York City.

Education

She received a BA in the history of art and East Asian Studies from Washington and Lee University (founded 1749) where she was the first woman in the university's history to receive an undergraduate degree. Cordsen has an MPP from Georgetown University and studied Chinese and Japanese Art History at Harvard University and photography at the International Center of Photography.

In the late 1980s Kate Cordsen was represented by Ford Models. She worked closely with Japanese avant-garde artists Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, appearing on the runway and in print. Cordsen credits this time as a model as both the beginning of her education in photography and as formative in understanding Japanese aesthetics.

Work
Known for large format landscapes, Cordsen produces ethereal and ambiguous images that evoke ideas of fragmented memories and temporality.  Her landscapes are, at first glance, simply meditative, but reveal impassioned and dramatic depths upon second and third looks. She often combines 19th century chemical methods with traditional film and digital technologies. Kate Cordsen's landscapes are a hybrid study of both photography and painting.

title: Leon Abbott

text:
Leon Abbott is a former college ice hockey coach who is most remembered for being fired by Boston University six games into the 1973–74 season for violating NCAA eligibility rules.

Career
Abbott began his coaching career after graduating from McGill in 1964. He coached briefly for a small college in Alberta before moving to take an assistant coaching position at St. Lawrence. In 1969 Abbott was offered the top job at Rensselaer, taking over from Garry Kearns, and after a poor first season, returned the Engineers to winning ways with 16- and 17-win seasons, making the ECAC tournament in consecutive seasons.

Abbott received his big break in 1972 when Jack Kelley stepped away from Boston University to pursue a professional coaching career and Abbott was given the job to replace him. The Terriers were coming off back-to-back National Championships and didn't take much of a step backwards with their new bench boss, finishing the season at a 22-6-1 mark, but after the season the NCAA forced BU to forfeit 11 wins due to ineligible players. While that decision meant little in and of itself as the Terriers had already finished their season, the team and Abbott in particular were placed under heightened scrutiny by the NCAA.  Early in the following season, two players (Peter Marzo and Bill Buckton) were ruled to be professional athletes by having accepted money to play amateur hockey, a violation of NCAA regulations. While federal court judge Joseph L. Tauro later reinstated the players, the damage had been done.  After a 4–2 start, Abbott was fired by BU and replaced by his assistant, Jack Parker.

After the season Abbott returned to his undergraduate alma mater, Alberta, and assumed head coaching duties until he was offered a third NCAA job, this time by St. Lawrence. The Saints had been slipping in the standings and were looking for someone to return them to their earlier glory but bringing Abbott back to Canton didn't work out as expected. In three seasons Abbott posted a record of 28-59-2, finishing well out of the conference playoffs each year. Things began to look up at the beginning of his fourth campaign as the Saints won their first three contests, but everything went south after as they dropped eight straight matches. The final straw was a 12-3 trouncing by Clarkson on December 1 after which Abbott stepped down as head coach.

Reception
The book Astres Noirs  was the result of Protick distributing his work using social media. On Instagram, Protick in Bangladesh and Koenning in Australia shared hundreds of photographs. Co-directors of publishers Chose Commune, Cécile Poimboeuf-Koizumi and Vasantha Yogananthan, following the two artists on social networks, noticed artistic affinities in dialogue that banished distance. In their studio in Paris, far removed from Bangladesh and Australia, they developed a book concept that replicated the illumination of the mobile phone screen and its constant flow of imagery;On black paper the pages [are] printed in silver ink with traces of a harsh and blinding light originally generated by the smartphone. Thus, the light of the images is not white, but a metallic gray, paradoxically evoking the essential material of film photography: silver salt. From an all-digital universe, the photographs of Protick and Koenning retain the luminance of the screen thanks to the unusual printing process that transforms them into a malleable material from which the photographic narrative is constructed. Bound in a sort of Japanese fold (each of the pages is double, folded on itself from the top), the book is punctuated with "hidden" images, printed on the inside of the fold.As José Alberto Caro Díaz expresses it;German photographer Katrin Koenning and Bangladesh-based photographer Sarker Protick collaborate despite distance. This work represents photographs taken with a mobile phone camera, capturing the ordinary like a drop of water or a ray of light, and transforming it, discovering an unexplored world [and] show a passion for the world that surrounds them.The New Yorker reviewed Protick's What Remains, noting that it was made over a year of return visits "to learn how his grandparents felt as they confronted old age," and for which he developed a overexposed high key technique. The British Journal of Photography identifies the photographer's "emptiness of his compositions and their minimalist colour palette alluding to loss,"  in discussing the series in their 2014 issue "Ones to Watch";What Remains is a touching portrait of a Bangladeshi couple, shot in the last weeks of the woman's life by her grandson, Sarker Protick, who brings a subtle hand and economy of style to a difficult and very personal subject; the emptiness of his compositions and their minimalist colour palette alluding to loss in place of a strict narrative.

Manik Katyal, founder of Emaho Magazine, describes Protick's adaptability and intuitive approach when intending to photograph Bangladesh's largest waterway, the Padma, but on discovering how erosion of the river's shore disadvantaged the communities that live beside and depend on the river for their livelihoods, he made that his subject;Of River and Lost Lands deals with an important subject to present to a wider audience, as it lacks visibility in Bangladesh. He uses photography in a decidedly unsettling manner [in dealing with loss]

title: Word Crimes

text:
"Word Crimes" is a song by American musician "Weird Al" Yankovic from his fourteenth studio album, Mandatory Fun (2014). The song is a parody of the 2013 single "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke, featuring Pharrell Williams and T.I. The song spoofs misuse of proper English grammar and usage, reflecting Yankovic's own rigor for proper syntax and semantics. Yankovic chose a topic that would be distinct from those used in many pre-existing parodies, and that would avoid the misogyny issues that had arisen from the source material.

"Word Crimes" received favorable reviews from contemporary music critics, as some describing it as a highlight of Mandatory Fun. The song's music video utilizes kinetic typography, and was compared to the earlier educational Schoolhouse Rock! musical cartoons.

Composition

The subject matter in "Word Crimes" was an extension of Yankovic's policy of writing "left-of-center" parodies, especially considering the number of parodies that surface on YouTube. Yankovic had surveyed his online competition and was disappointed that many parodies revolved around rape (due to the original song's controversy). To differentiate his version, he opted to make the parody about grammar; "I don't think anybody, to this point, had done a 'Blurred Lines' parody about proper use of grammar," he told NPR. Yankovic has considered himself a "grammar nerd", having previously posted photos and video clips to social media sites pointing out grammatical errors in everyday signs, and considered "Word Crimes" his opportunity to put this into song form. He considered the song to be both humorously critical of those that have poor grammar, as well as those that are obsessive about grammar, and compared it to how his previous song "Don't Download This Song" was double-edged by poking fun at both those who illegally downloaded music and overprotective labels trying to prevent that.

"Word Crimes" mocks online commenters and their neglect of standard English grammar. In the song, Yankovic spoofs those who use numbers in place of letters, which he criticizes as only acceptable if they are children, or Prince (referring to successful Prince songs with numbers in their title, such as "I Would Die 4 U"). He also lampoons people who use the word literally to describe non-literal situations. The song highlights other common prescriptions: Yankovic mentions the usage of less versus fewer, and the use of "to whom" as opposed to "to who". Spelling is also brought up, as he states that there is no "x" in the word espresso (n.b. expresso). Regarding punctuation, he comments on the use of "it's" as a possessive instead of the correct "its," and the optional use of the Oxford comma. Yankovic also mentions the common confusion between "doing good", "doing good deeds", and "doing well". Also mentioned in the song is the idiom "I couldn't care less" being commonly corrupted as "I could care less".

Yankovic noted that he deliberately added a split infinitive in the lyrics to see if listeners would notice. The line "Try your best to not drool" appears at the end of the song. Contrary to common misconception, split infinitives are not forbidden by prescriptivist English grammar rules.

After "Word Crimes" was released, Thicke and Pharrell were sued by the estate of Marvin Gaye for plagiarizing too much of Gaye's music from "Got to Give It Up" within "Blurred Lines". The estate won their case, which besides monetary damages, required that Gaye be credited on "Blurred Lines". As a result, Yankovic also had to add Gaye's credit to "Word Crimes". However, according to Yankovic, he has not had to pay any additional royalties to Gaye's estate from this, believing that whatever he would have had to pay was already covered in the royalty split he had given to Thicke and Pharrell for his parody.

Music video

The song's music video, a lyric video, was released on the same day of the album's release, the second in a series of eight consecutive video releases. The video is a kinetic typography video created by Jarrett Heather, which plays on the song's theme of proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. MTV News considered it a spoof on the increasing popularity of lyric videos, calling it "a pretty incredible piece of animation".

Heather had previously gained fame in producing a similar typography video for Jonathan Coulton's song "Shop Vac". The "Shop Vac" video, Heather's first major public production, had caught Yankovic's attention, and the musician sent Heather an email about creating a similar video for "Word Crimes" around November 2013. The video started production in January 2014 after Yankovic sent the final lyrics to Heather, and took about 500 hours of work in Heather's off-hours to assemble using the Adobe Systems suite of products. Heather and Yankovic coordinated nearly daily in the early stages of the video, with Heather presenting initial sketches and storyboards for the artist's approval. Initial designs of the video were based on the "Blurred Lines" video, using the color scheme and font style, and expanding it to a full color bible to provide contrast during the video. Most of the drawn animations in the video were created by Heather; the child's drawing at the lyric "unless you're seven" was done by Heather's son, Ethan. The video was completed by April 1.

The video spoofs a number of facets of the original "Blurred Lines" video, such as the large hashtags in the original that appear seemingly at random, dancing letters and punctuation symbols on an off-white background, and ends with the phrase "'Weird Al' Yankovic has a big dictionary" spelled in balloon letters.

The video also is filled with Easter eggs that appear quickly onscreen during lyrics. The graphic for the title phrase is modeled after the Merriam-Webster dictionary logo. During the line "You're a lost cause," a poster for ABC's Lost appears, with the sentence "Learn your ABC's, doofus" using the ABC logo. The number 27, which frequently appears in previous works by Yankovic, appears throughout the video. An illustration on a college notebook cover includes Pac-Man and the character Trogdor the Burninator from the Homestar Runner animated web series. The graphic for the lyric "irony is not coincidence" pokes fun at Alanis Morissette's use of the word "ironic", noting that "rain on [one's] wedding day" is merely coincidence, whereas a better example of irony would be a fire truck being destroyed by fire. The video also includes cameos by Doge and the Microsoft Office Assistant "Clippit" (also known as "Clippy"), and references to the Sacramento-based offices of the California Department of Food and Agriculture where Heather is employed.

Reception
Critically, The A.V. Club called the song "a modern-day 'Conjunction Junction'", writing: "The song combines cheeky grammar lessons with a lamentation for society's diminished writing skills." CNN made a similar comparison, believing the song "could follow in the grand tradition of Schoolhouse Rock!". Rolling Stone wrote that "The schoolhouse R&B of 'Word Crimes' is clever enough to win over the harshest critics of Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines.'" ABC News characterized the parody as "spot-on". Billboard called the song the album's best, writing that "[a] more satirical, cynical parodist could have taken this in a million super-searing directions, but Al isn't interested in commenting on Thicke's alleged misogyny."

The work has received some negative attention from linguists and educators, who view the prescriptivism celebrated in the song as scientifically ill-informed, arbitrary, and encouraging of unnecessary and damaging social distinctions. Mignon Fogarty of the podcast Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing considered that the video, which has a high likelihood of being used in educational settings, speaks down to those with poor grammar, criticizing "the call to feel superior and to put other people down for writing errors". Shortly after the song was released, Yankovic stated that he had been unaware that the word spastic used in the song is "considered a highly offensive slur by some people", particularly in the United Kingdom, and apologized for its presence in his lyrics.

Commercial performance
"Word Crimes" debuted at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending August 2, 2014, making it Yankovic's fourth Top 40 hit (following  "Eat It" in 1984, "Smells Like Nirvana" in 1992, and "White & Nerdy" in 2006, which peaked at numbers 12, 35, and 9, respectively). It made him only the third artist in popular music history to have at least one Top 40 single in every decade since the 1980s, alongside previous parody targets Madonna and Michael Jackson. Also that same week, the track debuted on the top on the Comedy Digital Songs chart.

Notes

  Gaye was not credited as a songwriter, but a court later ruled that "Blurred Lines" plagiarized Gaye's song "Got to Give It Up", and thus must be credited on "Blurred Lines" and all derivative works, including "Word Crimes".

text:
Tony Hawk's Shred Session is a cancelled endless runner sports video game developed by Big Bit and published by Activision. A free-to-play game for iOS and Android mobile phones, it was to be the first game in the Tony Hawk's franchise created specifically for the platform.

Although the game had soft launched in a handful of territories in mid-2014 ahead of a worldwide release, in November 2014 Hawk revealed that the game was postponed indefinitely and the game was later pulled from these territories.

Gameplay
Shred Session would be played as a 3D endless runner, similar to the Temple Run or Sonic Dash video games. The game would include a swipe-controlled trick system, and several game modes.

Development
In October 2013, Hawk discussed the desire to develop games that were intended for a mobile device platform. In February 2014, a new entry in the video game series was confirmed. Hawk said that the new entry to the series would be a mobile exclusive, but later confirmed that the game had been postponed indefinitely.
