'Eli Roth's History of Horror': The Best Thing About the Show According to Quentin Tarantino
Lauren Anderson
Eli Roth and his horror movie cohorts analyze the inspirations behind some of the best-known horror movies on the AMC program Eli Roth's History of Horror. As a guest on the show, director Quentin Tarantino enjoys the behind-the-scenes analysis of these movies. But there's something else about Roth's History of Horror Tarantino enjoys even more.

'Eli Roth's History of Horror' is a must-see for horror movie fans
When creating Eli Roth's History of Horror, the horror movie writer, director and producer was inspired by Mick Garris.
"Mick Garris started doing these 'Masters of Horror' dinners," Roth explained during a 2020 Palyfest NY Panel. "Quentin was there, and suddenly [you're] with Rob Zombie and John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper — all of these directors, they have the funniest stories."
Roth wanted to share the famed directors' stories with the world. But in the time it took to get Eli Roth's History of Horror off the ground, some of the most influential directors started to die.
"Sadly, [horror movie directors] started dying," Roth said. "I was at a film festival with Herschell Gordon Lewis, who was 91-years-old and had the best stories. And then he passed away. We were trying to get the show up and running and we lost Tobe Hooper, George Romero — we lost Wes Craven…"
Now, Eli Roth's History of Horror is in its sophomore season. Fans can watch season 1 on Shudder. New episodes of season 2 premiere Saturdays at 10 PM EST on AMC.
'Eli Roth's History of Horror' examines how socio-economics influence horror movies
Fans love hearing behind-the-scenes stories about their favorite horror flicks. But what Roth seeks to do is educate viewers on the often deeper meanings hidden within the horror movies fans love.
"[With History of Horror], I wanted to get [these director's] stories but also really show how horror [movies] kind of reflect the time they [were] made in," Roth explained during Paleyfest. He mentioned the Hooper classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the historical events that inspired it.
"Tobe Hooper, when he's making Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is very much influenced by the Manson Family," Roth pointed out. "[Eli Roth's History of Horror gives viewers] a historical context and the perspective of the filmmakers and the critics who enjoy them."
While Roth enjoys diving into the history of horror movies, Tarantino finds something else more enjoyable about Eli Roth's History of Horror.
Quentin Tarantino loves Eli Roth's narration
For Tarantino, the best part of Eli Roth's History of Horror is Roth's narrative voice.
"I actually think one of the best things about the show is Eli's narration," Tarantino admitted during Paleyfest. "His narration is fantastic." He compared Roth's compelling voice to the one and only Morgan Freeman.
Tarantino also enjoys the style in which Roth narrators History of Horror. "Eli [is] able to break things down into sub-genres and focus primarily on these specific sub-genres and really investigate them and show the clips that make his point for him," he added.

"He will pick a film and walk you through the story if you haven't seen it so you have a sense of it," Tarantino continued. "He does a great job with that. Eli, you could be a voice-over actor, man. You could be the new Morgan Freeman."
Roth graciously accepted the compliment. For him, talking about horror movies comes easy. Roth's passion for the genre is part of what makes his narration so great.

Michael Christopher « Mike » Moustakas (né le  à Los Angeles, Californie, États-Unis) est un joueur de troisième but des Royals de Kansas City de la Ligue majeure de baseball.

Surnommé Moose, Moustakas joue pour Kansas City depuis 2011 et a fait partie de l'équipe championne de la Série mondiale 2015.

Carrière
Mike Moustakas est le choix de première ronde des Royals de Kansas City en 2007. Il est le deuxième athlète sélectionné au total cette année-là, derrière la sélection des Rays de Tampa Bay, David Price.

Apprécié des dépisteurs et observateurs du baseball des ligues mineures, Moustakas se classe en 2009 et 2010 dans la liste des 50 meilleurs joueurs d'avenir de la Ligue majeure.

Il fait ses débuts dans les majeures pour Kansas City le . À son tout premier match, il marque un point et frappe un coup sûr en trois présences officielles au bâton. Ce premier coup sûr est réussi aux dépens du lanceur des Angels de Los Angeles, Ervin Santana. Le lendemain, 11 juin, il frappe contre Joel Piñeiro des Angels son premier coup de circuit. Moustakas complète sa première saison avec 5 circuits, 30 points produits et une moyenne au bâton de ,263 en 89 matchs.

En 2012, il frappe 20 circuits et produit 73 points en 143 parties jouées. Sa saison 2013 est cependant décevante alors que sa moyenne au bâton, déjà relativement peu élevée à ,242 l'année précédente, chute à ,233 en 136 matchs joués. Il ne frappe que 12 longues balles et récolte 42 points produits.

Malgré un jeu impeccable en défensive au troisième but, Moustakas ne répond pas aux attentes placées en lui en offensive. Le , il est cédé aux Storm Chasers d'Omaha, le club-école des Royals, alors qu'il ne frappe que pour ,152 au niveau majeur après les 40 premiers matchs de la saison.

Avec notamment deux circuits, dont un grand chelem, contre les Orioles de Baltimore le , Mike Moustakas bat le record d'équipe des Royals avec 9 points produits, éclipsant la marque précédente de 7, réussie à 12 reprises par 11 joueurs différents.

Le  au Minnesota, Moustakas égale le record du plus grand nombre de coups de circuit en une saison par un joueur des Royals, avec son  de la saison, le même total que Steve Balboni en 1985. Ce record vieux de 32 ans est particulier car, sur les 30 clubs du baseball majeur, les 36 de Balboni représentent le plus bas total pour un record d'équipe, toutes les équipes sauf les Royals ayant au moins déjà compté un frappeur de 40 circuits en une saison. Dix-neuf jours après avoir égalé le record, Moustakas établit la nouvelle marque d'équipe des Royals avec son  circuit de l'année, réussi aux dépens du lanceur Carlos Ramírez des Blue Jays, le  à Toronto.

When someone says "you should network," what feelings does that conjure up? Is "networking" a word that sends shivers up your spine and right back down? Have you been turned off by the thought of networking and avoided it as a strategy to grow your business?
If so, you are not alone. To some, "networking" has become a bad 10-letter word that gets portrayed negatively. It summons images of people with whom you've barely finished shaking hands, yet they are suddenly pushy, overbearing, self-centered individuals, shoving their business card or brochure in your face. If you have been subjected to this behavior, you know what I am talking about. I too would avoid networking if this was my repeated experience.
I have read countless books on networking do's, don'ts and how to's. Two of my favorite books are The Go-Giver and Go Givers Sell More by Bob Burg and John David Mann. I have also hosted hundreds of networking events since 2004 and have observed thousands of professionals and their networking technique, style and approach. In order to be most effective at growing your business through networking activities, I have certainly noticed a clear cut distinction between what not to do at networking events and what networking is not about.
What do you think is missing from this "What NOT To Do" list? Have you experienced any of these scenarios or people at a networking event? I love to read stories so please share them with me by leaving a comment below.
In the meantime, I'll start working on a list of what networking is all about and what to do at networking events. Stay tuned.
If'n ya don't like talkin to people or formin relationships, this is *not* for you! If you care to get to know what makes people tick, and learn how to help them, this bud's for you 🙂 Great article as usual, Sabrina!
Thank you Meghann… I could not have said it better myself!
Debra!!!! This is a great story that illustrates just want not to do. If I walk away with 3 really great connections, I call that a HUGE success. Thank you for the chuckle!
I think it is important that we seek to have fun and maintain a sense of humor in everything we do. When you start to get serious about networking and stressed about who you may or may not meet, it takes the enjoyment out of the experience. Be prepared as much as possible (especially when it comes to selling yourself and business) but have fun getting to know people you have never met..!!

Water and Energy at Issue in Fifth State of the West Symposium
Photos: Steve Castillo
Two fundamental resources of the American West, water and energy, were the focus of the fifth annual State of the West Symposium held on November 12. Collaboratively organized by the Bill Lane Center for the American West and the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR), the half-day event took place at SIEPR's headquarters on the Stanford campus.
Assessing The Economic State of the West
The SIEPR fellow and Stanford public policy lecturer David Crane opened the symposium with a keynote talk (video) assessing the economic state of the American West. Crane noted that while energy dependent economies in North Dakota and Alaska have suffered from declining oil and gas prices, other western states like California, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon saw robust employment growth over the past year. Crane added that a number of western states are seeing tax revenues approach levels not seen since before the Great Recession; at the same time, he pointed out how spending priorities have changed since the economic crisis. For example, California now devotes a much smaller share of its budget to long-term investments like transportation, parks, and education, in favor of meeting the increasing demands of Medicaid, pension obligations, and prison costs.

Water Markets a Solution to Scarcity?
The afternoon sessions convened distinguished panels on two issues of critical importance. First, a panel led by SIEPR director Mark G. Duggan explored the feasibility of water transfers and markets as a possible approach for addressing the western drought (video). Felicia Marcus, chair of California's State Water Resources Control Board and a veteran water regulator, lamented the difficulty of achieving productive dialogue on water when most players only see one part of the larger picture. Warning that climate change will be a "game-changer" for California water – in that rising temperatures will reduce the state's ability to use winter snowpack for water storage – Marcus urged an "all of the above" strategy employing conservation, increased efficiency, groundwater recharge, water recycling and desalination and, perhaps most controversially, new water storage projects. Marcus predicted that while "water is complicated, it's not impossible, and we are making progress," pointing to a legislature that has passed more water legislation in the past six years than "in the previous three decades."
Stanford economist Frank Wolak has been working on water pricing formulas to help public utilities replace revenue they are losing to water conservation. He spoke about the promise of water markets as a way of allocating water more efficiently – pointing to the example of electrical markets as a model, using an "independent system operator" to manage pricing and exchange of resources. In electricity, said Wolak, the transmission network takes bids and uses them to run a market that balances supply and demand in real time. The challenge, though, is getting back exactly what you put in, he said, and dealing with possible effects on ecosystems. But the gain would be worth it, Wolak continued, saying that the money that goes to pay for armies of water lawyers could instead go to a tariff that would fund local water transfers.
Both Marcus and Wolak saw the Australian millennium drought – which lasted from 1995 to 2007 and led to major policy changes – as a valuable lesson for western water policy. Wolak pointed out how Australian ecosystems were given their own water right and a seat at the negotiating table, while Marcus admired the communal spirit that negotiators have shown – "even though they fight, there's much more talk of 'we'" in Australia.

Debating the Costs and Benefits of a "Fossil Highway" to Asia
The second panel of the afternoon featured a spirited debate between opponents and supporters of fossil-fuel export facilities on the West coast (video). Moderated by Bruce E. Cain, the Spence and Cleone Eccles Family Director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West, the panel was led off by Sally Benson, co-director of Stanford's Precourt Institute for Energy. Benson pointed out the growing share that renewable energy sources are taking in western states like California.
The conservation lawyer Jay Manning touted the successes of the Pacific coast states from California to British Columbia in promoting renewable energy policies, from cap and trade in California to carbon taxes in B.C. "These states, which together comprise the fifth largest economy in the world," Manning said, "will be the first to embrace the clean energy economy." At the same time that states like Oregon and Washington appear headed toward economy-wide limits on carbon, Manning warned of the possible effects of several fossil energy export projects proposed for ports in Washington and British Columbia. Focusing on the Millennium coal terminal proposed in Longview, Wash., Manning argued that sending U.S. coal abroad to be burned in Asia would add a billion tons of CO2 to the atmosphere every year.
Arguing the "pro" case for the terminals fell to Bill Chapman, CEO of the Longview-based Millennium Bulk Terminals company. Chapman countered that "having a dialogue about symbolic gestures in a mostly hydro-powered region is not going to affect China" – adding that China already has 155 coal-burning plants under development and that the policy priorities should be for Asian markets to burn cleaner coal – like the US's. He added that a priority is for Chinese plants to start using pollution control devices, which they have already installed but are reluctant to use because of the corresponding reduction in energy output.

Evening Keynote with Wyoming Political Royalty
The Western Governor's Association chairman and Wyoming Governor Matt Mead gave the evening keynote address(video). Echoing the discussion of fossil fuel exports, Mead pointed out that his coal-rich state is the third largest energy exporter in the world, and that "it is unrealistic to think that the source of 40% of electricity is not going to be around," but added "it is the responsibility of coal-producing states to make it better."
Turning an eye to renewables, Gov. Mead said "we intend to build the world's best onshore wind platform, though delivering to California is problematic."
Gov. Mead also stressed the importance of ensuring that the West can meet the food needs of the future, despite the shrinking number of young people going into agriculture. He added that food is an important national security concern: "imagine the leverage of other countries if we needed them not just for fuel, but for food?"

Gov. Mead, the grandson of Wyoming Governor and Senator Clifford Hansen, was given a folksy introduction by his fellow Equality State political scion, the voluble former Senator Alan Simpson, the son of Wyoming Senator and Governor Milward Simpson. The address was followed by a conversation among Gov. Mead, Sen. Simpson, and Bill Lane Center founding former co-director David M. Kennedy.
In reaching back to his family roots, Gov. Mead emphasized the need for maintaining collegiality in working with the other western governors. "In Wyoming, civility matters. If you look at myself, Governor Brown and Governor Inslee [of Washington], we have fundamental disagreements on coal, but we have to work together on forest health and issues that don't recognize state boundaries. The Western Governors' Association and the ability to recognize differences and common interests, that's a model to me," he added.

Pianos serve an indispensable role in a conservatory education. Factor in the piano's part in preparing graduates for satisfying careers in the arts, and you'll find many good reasons why Shenandoah Conservatory is going All-Steinway.
It is early 2012. Pure sound floats from ivory smoothness and ebony darkness as fingers caress the keys. In Professor Elizabeth Temple's piano studio, a student toils on a magnificent Steinway Model "B" grand piano, while Miss Temple (who retired in 2015) listens intently. Both are intellectually engaged, partners on an exciting journey of structure, contrast and emotion. Working side-by-side on identical Steinways, they labor toward a common goal, intent on the nuances of tone, technique and color. Both focused on preparing for that moment when the concert hall is hushed and the performance hangs in the balance, a pressure point waiting to begin with a single note. Just a heartbeat away, the spark of creative genius waits to fill the concert hall with endless possibility. It's an experience Shenandoah Conservatory students rehearse hours upon hours—alone and in various ensembles—to fill with creative precision.
In Shenandoah's dynamic, artistic community, nearly anything seems possible. So, in October 2011, when university leaders announced their intention to launch a $3 million fundraising campaign to transform Shenandoah Conservatory into an All-Steinway School, students and faculty greeted the news with enthusiastic support and excitement.
Shenandoah's All-Steinway initiative demonstrates the university's commitment to academic excellence and reinforces Shenandoah Conservatory's long-standing reputation as a leader in performing arts education. To qualify as an All-Steinway School, 90 percent of the institution's pianos—from practice rooms to classrooms to faculty studios and concert spaces—must be Steinway or Steinway-designed pianos. As a part of the $3 million fundraising campaign, $600,000 will be used to endow a fund for a full-time, Steinway trained and certified artist piano technician. When completed, 26 Steinways and 62 Steinway-produced Bostons of various shapes and sizes will comprise the new fleet of pianos, and Shenandoah Conservatory will join an elite group—six conservatories in the United States and 10 internationally—that bear the coveted "All-Steinway School" status.
Steinway pianos are considered the premier-quality piano worldwide. Each one is hand crafted for excellence, and artists who train on them reap a range of benefits that these exceptional instruments provide.
vocalists, composers, music educators, actors and dancers—will rehearse, perform or interact with a piano during their time here.
"Shenandoah Conservatory students are on the path of discovering their own possibilities. Just having these instruments here is critical and vital to that endeavor," said Temple.

Home / EUROPE / Germany: More facts emerge about Nigerian suspected of killing woman in Ahaus
Germany: More facts emerge about Nigerian suspected of killing woman in Ahaus
"We are being stared at strangely and we are being verbally abused," says Pastor Thaddeus Ejiofor Eze as mood changes in town against Africans
The Nigerian asylum-seeker suspected of killing Soopika P., a refugee aid worker, in the western German town of Ahaus on 11 February has agreed to be swiftly extradited to Germany from Switzerland.
According to Martin Botzenhardt, chief public prosecutor of Münster, who is responsible for Ahaus, the 27-year-old African, who was arrested in the Swiss city of Basel on 14 February, renounced his right to an appeal against his extradition to Germany.
Mr Botzenhardt emphasised that the fact that the Nigerian has been named a suspect in the crime does not mean that he is guilty of it. "So far, it is only clear that the man who has been arrested in Basel is the man that is being sought in this case," he explained.
Meanwhile, more facts have emerged about the case.
Fear, anger and grief among African refugees
Thaddeus Ejiofor Eze is chaplain in the parish of St. Mary's Ascension in Ahaus.
He is from Nigeria. Since Soopika P. was killed and a Nigerian is considered a suspect, the clergy feels that the mood in the town has changed.
"We are being stared at strangely and we are being verbally abused," says Pastor Eze in an interview with the online newspaper "RuhrNachrichten".
That is not only the experience of other Africans in the town but his own experience as well.
"There is a lot of everyday racism and a general suspicion against all who look different," he says.
There is fear, anger and grief also among the refugees living in Ahaus over the terrible incident, he revealed.
They are afraid of generalization and general suspicion and are grieved and angry over the terrible event."They simply fear that they will be thrown together with the suspect," says Pastor Eze, who knew both victim and suspect personally.
He describes the murder suspect as a seemingly calm, balanced person.
The Nigerian had been living in Ahaus for about two years and regularly took part in the activities organised by the refugee aid in the town including football matches. "You did not notice anything like that about him; one could not imagine something like that," says the clergyman who has been working in the church for four and a half years.
Pastor Eze is aware of the fact that the suspect and the victim had known each other for some time and that there was a quarrel among them. And they then avoided each other afterwards. "The police are now investigating," says Pastor Eze, reluctant to say more on the relationship between the two persons.
"I understand the fear, the grief and the rage – and I can imagine how bad it must be for the victim's family," he added.
Refugee aid workers afraid
Meanwhile, the tragic incident has affected refugee aid activities in Ahaus because the victim was a volunteer and the suspected perpetrator an asylum-seeker. Among the many volunteers for refugees in the town, there is currently a great uncertainty about how to deal with the situation, reports "RuhrNachrichten". "Some are afraid, others would like to withdraw."
Swiss police arrested the Nigerian man on 14 February in Basel. He had been identified as a prime suspect in the murder of the Soopika P. in the early hours of Saturday 11 February.
A spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Münster said witnesses had heard cries for help and saw a person who had bent over the woman lying on the ground.
"The extensive investigations of the murder commission" singled out the Nigerian as a prime suspect, said the prosecutors. "There is a suspicion that the 27-year-old has been in contact with the young woman in recent weeks. The evidence suggests that the accused could be responsible for the killing of the young woman."
A Europe-wide arrest warrant was therefore issued by the police which subsequently led to the arrest of the Nigerian in the Swiss city.
Meanwhile, Soopika P. was laid to rest last week at an event attended by about two hundred local residents. She was described by friends as a gentle person who loved to help people.

THE FLATS – Dave Patenaude and Andrew Thacker, who have served as Temple's offensive and defensive coordinators under new Georgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins for the past two seasons, will join Collins on The Flats in the same roles, Tech announced on Monday.
Patenaude, who will also coach Georgia Tech's quarterbacks, is a 28-year collegiate coaching veteran. Under his direction, Temple put together two of the three highest single-season passing totals in school history (3,273 yards in 2017, 3,297 yards in 2018) and ranks 24th nationally in scoring offense this season. Individually, TU running back Ryquell Armstrong ranks second in the American Athletic Conference and 14th nationally in rushing (109.8 ypg) and wide receiver Randle Jones ranks third in the AAC and 13th nationally in yards per reception (19.35 avg.) this season.
A metro-Atlanta native (Cartersville, Ga.), Thacker was promoted to Temple's defensive coordinator in 2018 after joining Collins' TU staff in 2017 as linebackers coach. With Thacker as coordinator, Temple's defense scored eight defensive touchdowns (No. 1 nationally), forced 31 turnovers (No. 3 nationally), recovered 13 fumbles (No. 3 nationally) and intercepted 18 passes (No. 4 nationally). He'll coach Georgia Tech's linebackers in addition to his duties as defensive coordinator.
Prior to his successful two-year tenure at Temple, Patenaude spent five seasons as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Coastal Carolina. CCU set nearly every school record for offense during his five years with the Chanticleers, including single-season scoring, total offense, rushing yards and passing yards, while registering three 10-win seasons. Coastal Carolina also produced four finalists for the Walter Payton Award (NCAA Division I FCS Player of the Year) and three NFL draft picks (WR Matt Hazel, RB De'Angelo Henderson and RB Lorenzo Taliaferro) during Patenaude's five years with the Chants.
Twelve of Patenaude's 28 years as a collegiate coach have been spent as an offensive coordinator, including each of the last 11 at Temple (2017-18), Coastal Carolina (2012-16), Georgetown (2010-11), and Hofstra (2008-09). He also served as offensive coordinator for one season at Columbia (2001).
Patenaude's career also includes two seasons as the head coach at the University of New Haven (2002-03), where he produced the program's first NFL product in eight years (Phil Bogle) before the program was disbanded following the 2003 season. He has also served as an assistant coach at Hofstra (2007 – passing game coordinator/quarterbacks), Holy Cross (2004-05 – running backs; 2006 – wide receivers/special teams coordinator), Columbia (1998-1999 – wide receivers; 2000 – quarterbacks/wide receivers) Fordham (1994 – tight ends; 1995 – wide receivers; 1996-97 – quarterbacks/wide receivers), Springfield (Mass.) (1992-93 – running backs/wide receivers) and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (1991 – running backs). He and Collins first coached together at Fordham in 1996, when Collins served as linebackers coach for the Rams.
Patenaude was a three-year starter at quarterback and free safety at Central Connecticut State. He graduated from CCSU in 1990 and earned a master's from Springfield in 1993. He and his wife, Christine, have two daughters: Eva and Estelle.
Thacker helped produce one of the AAC's highest-ranked defenses during his one season as the defensive coordinator at Temple. In addition to ranking among the nation's top three teams in defensive touchdowns, turnovers, fumble recoveries and interceptions, the Owls were among the AAC's top three teams in total defense (second), passing defense (second), three-and-outs (second) and scoring defense (third). As linebackers coach in 2017, he helped TU rank among the top teams nationally in both sacks (11th) and tackles for loss (11th).
Prior to his two seasons at Temple, Thacker spent the 2016 season in the Atlanta area as linebackers coach at Kennesaw State, where he helped the Owls lead the Big South in scoring defense and rushing defense and rank second in total defense.
His career also includes stints as a full-time assistant at UCF (2015 – safeties) and Southern Miss (2013 – safeties). He has also served as a defensive assistant with the Atlanta Falcons (2014), a graduate assistant at Oklahoma State (2010-12 – linebackers) and a graduate assistant at UCF (2008-09 – linebackers). As a G.A. at UCF, Thacker worked under Collins, who was the Knights' linebackers coach at the time.
Thacker was a four-year starter at safety at Furman (2004-07), where he was named the 2004 Southern Conference Freshman of the year. He graduated from Furman in 2007 with bachelor's degrees in political science and Spanish. He and his wife, Liza, have a daughter, Caroline, and a son, Bear.
Patenaude and Thacker are third and fourth assistant coaches to be added to Collins' first staff at Georgia Tech. Previously announced hires include running backs coach Tashard Choice and wide receivers coach Kerry Dixon. Additionally, Collins has tabbed Lewis Caralla as the Yellow Jackets' head football strength and conditioning coach.


A federal district court found in favor of the insurer, concluding that timely notice was a condition precedent to coverage and, thus, the insurer was not required to show that it was prejudiced by the insured's untimely notice. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit certified a question to the Montana Supreme Court, asking whether Montana law applies the "notice-prejudice" rule in a case involving a claim of damages by a third party, and, specifically, whether a policy provision requiring the insured to provide notice "as soon as practicable" can be invoked to bar coverage without consideration of whether the insurer was prejudiced by late notice.
The Montana Supreme Court found in the affirmative, holding that the notice-prejudice rule requires the insurer to show that it was prejudiced by the insured's late notice, whether the claim arose from the policyholder, as the Montana high court had previously held in another case, or the claim arose from a third party claiming damages, as was the case in Greytak. The court noted that a majority of the states applied the notice-prejudice rule. It also cited public policy reasons for its holding, reasoning that "[t]he public policy of Montana is to narrowly and strictly construe insurance coverage exclusions in order to promote the 'fundamental protective purpose' of insurance." The purpose of the rule, according to the court, was to protect the policyholder, or third parties seeking damages from the insurer for harm purportedly caused by the policyholder, from losing insurance coverage "over a technical violation of the policy" when that violation was of "no prejudicial consequence" to the insurance company.

By Ann E. Marimow
November 16, 2021 at 8:09 p.m. EST
The chief judge of the federal appeals court in Washington on Tuesday dismissed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan seeking his removal from a local commission that recommends judicial nominees to the president.
Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan turned away the complaint after the federal judiciary's conduct committee determined this month that Sullivan's work is permitted and consistent with guidelines for judicial conduct.
"The complaint will be dismissed on the ground that the alleged conduct 'is not prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts," Srinivasan wrote in a four-page memo that quotes extensively from the Nov. 5 advisory opinion of the Committee on Codes of Conduct.
The formal complaint against Sullivan was filed as part of an unusual year-long effort by a fellow judge, Laurence H. Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Silberman accused Sullivan of unethical conduct for sitting on the nominating commission, which he said "exercises enormous political power."
Two judges, one courthouse and an unusual accusation of unethical conduct
Silberman, a nominee of President Ronald Reagan, said in his complaint that the process of selecting judges is inherently political and should not involve members of the federal bench.
In response to Silberman's accusations, Sullivan asked for guidance from the conduct committee. A large majority of the 15-member committee found no problem with Sullivan using his "expertise to evaluate and recommend candidates for judicial office" on D.C.'s trial and appellate courts.
When vacancies arise on those courts, the commission recommends a slate of three candidates to the president. By law, the commission must include a current or retired District Court judge among its members.
Sullivan, a nominee of President Bill Clinton, previously served as a judge on both the D.C. Superior Court and D.C. Court of Appeals. He has served on the local board for more than two decades.
Srinivasan's order Thursday doesn't mean the saga is over. After the committee issued its opinion, Silberman submitted a subsequent letter to the D.C. Circuit's Judicial Council in which he said he would have a basis to appeal if Srinivasan dismissed his complaint.
Silberman did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Sullivan declined to comment.

Calcium, magnesium and zinc are three essential minerals that your body needs for optimal bone, nerve, brain, muscle and cellular health. Although eating a balanced diet is the best way to get these nutrients, certain conditions may make it necessary to take a supplement.

Supplements can include the minerals singularly or in a calcium-magnesium-zinc combination that provides you with many health benefits, including relieving depression, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and helping you sleep.
Calcium for Bone Health
Calcium works synergistically with magnesium and other minerals and vitamins to build and strengthen bone, maintain a healthy cardiovascular system and transmit nerve impulses. Calcium also regulates muscle function and vascular contraction, and helps prevent muscle cramps.
The best sources of calcium are dairy products — milk, yogurt and cheese. For non-milk drinkers and vegans, many vegetable sources contain calcium, including cabbage, kale, spinach and broccoli. Fortified grains and fruit juices, tofu and cereals are also good sources of calcium. Sardines are near the top of the list for calcium content.
Magnesium Association With Calcium
Calcium and magnesium benefits come from their symbiosis. Magnesium is required for maintaining the solubility and metabolism of calcium. It also has a role in the transport of calcium across cell membranes which affects calcium balance.
Necessary for the prevention of the calcification of tissue, magnesium may be as important as calcium in preventing bone loss. As a vital cofactor in enzyme systems, magnesium helps regulate your blood glucose levels, blood pressure, muscle and nerve function.
The plant kingdom supplies many foods rich in magnesium, especially green leafy vegetables. Legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains are also good sources. Generally, magnesium can be found in foods containing dietary fiber. Some breakfast cereals are fortified with magnesium.

Zinc Association With Calcium
Like calcium, zinc is an essential mineral required for bone formation. It is needed for collagen protein synthesis and cell division that helps provide a structural platform for bone. Vital for a healthy immune system, zinc helps your wounds heal and is required for a proper sense of smell and taste.
Oysters contain the most zinc per serving than any other food, but poultry and red meat are also good sources. Zinc is also found in beans, nuts, some seafood, whole grains, dairy and fortified breakfast cereals.
The bioavailability of zinc from plant sources is lower than from animal sources due to phytates, an enzyme that inhibits absorption, says NIH.
Calcium in a Supplement Form
The recommended daily intake for calcium is 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams, depending on age and gender, and is especially important for pregnant and lactating women. Conditions that may put you at risk for a calcium deficiency, which may lead to osteopenia and the risk of bone fractures, include:
Having lactose intolerance or dairy allergy
Being a vegetarian or vegan
Consuming large amounts of protein or sodium, which can cause your body to excrete more calcium
Having osteoporosis
Receiving long-term treatment with corticosteroids
Having certain diseases that decrease your ability to absorb calcium, such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease
In these situations, you may want to talk to your doctor to see if taking a calcium supplement is right for you. The most popular forms of calcium supplements are carbonate and citrate. Other supplemental forms of calcium include gluconate and lactate.
Supplements containing a combination of calcium-magnesium-zinc are also available.

Magnesium in a Supplement Form
Dietary Guidelines recommend 400 to 420 milligrams of magnesium daily for adult men and 310 to 320 milligrams for adult females, more for teen, pregnant or lactating women. Some people may not get enough magnesium from food and may experience symptoms of irritability, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat, says Mayo Clinic.
Since only about 30 to 40 percent of the magnesium you consume from food is typically absorbed by the body, you may find yourself deficient in this mineral. Other situations that may increase your need to take a magnesium supplement include:
Having a medical condition, such as Crohn's disease, celiac, enteritis or gluten-sensitive enteropathy
Having had surgery, such as resection or bypass of the small intestines
Having Type 2 diabetes
Having an alcohol dependence
Taking medications that alter magnesium absorption
Magnesium supplements are available as magnesium oxide, citrate and chloride and are available in capsule, tablet and powder forms, including chewable. Injectable magnesium is also available under a physician's supervision. Calcium, magnesium zinc combinations are another option.
Read more: Which Form of Magnesium Is Best Absorbed?
Zinc in a Supplement Form
You should strive for a daily intake of 9 to 11 milligrams of zinc, depending on your age and gender. Pregnant women need more. A zinc deficiency may cause symptoms such as slow wound healing, mental confusion, growth retardation, loss of appetite, hair loss and eye and skin lesions, according to NIH.
People at risk for zinc deficiency include:
Individuals with malabsorption diseases, such as chronic liver disease, renal disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes and malignancy
Vegetarians and vegans
Pregnant or lactating women
Infants over 7 months who are exclusively breastfed
Zinc supplements are available in forms including zinc gluconate, zinc sulfate and zinc acetate. Zinc for topical application is also available. Additionally, you can get your zinc from multivitamins or in combination with specially formulated calcium and magnesium supplements.
Be aware of taking excessive amounts of zinc as a dietary supplement. Amounts of 150 to 450 milligrams of zinc per day have been shown to inhibit the uptake of copper and possibly lead to copper deficiency and anemia. High levels of zinc have also been associated with diminished iron function, hindered immune system and reduction of HDL cholesterol blood levels, according to NIH.

Minerals for Anxiety and Depression
It's normal to have ups and downs occasionally, but depressive disorders are a major worldwide problem. Calcium, magnesium and zinc may play a role in supporting key functions in mood disorders.
Studies have shown the prevalence of poor nutrition and a deficiency of certain minerals may be linked to a negative effect on mental health. An article in Nutrition reported that a 2014 study found that children and adolescents who ate low nutritional foods suffered more psychiatric distress, including worry, depression and anxiety, and violent behavior.
Calcium and Depression
Depression is often a symptom of a calcium deficiency. In 2017, researchers found that women taking 500 milligrams of calcium daily for two months reported less anxiety, depression and emotional changes during their menstrual cycles than a control group.
Conclusions, published in the journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology Science, suggested that calcium supplements were a viable treatment for reducing mood disorders during PMS.
Magnesium and Depression
A 2018 study, published in the journal Nutrients, examined the association between zinc, magnesium and selenium and depression. Research indicated that magnesium and zinc may influence depression through similar biological mechanisms.
Discussion confirmed that the evidence supported antidepressant properties of magnesium with an inverse association between magnesium and the risk of depression.
Zinc and Depression
Like magnesium, zinc plays an important role in cellular transmission and regulation of hormones. Zinc is vital for brain function, and a deficiency has been implicated in causing depressive symptoms, which have an effect on behavior.
A 2013 study investigated the bioavailability of zinc in the blood of depressed and non-depressed subjects. Results of the study, published in Biological Psychiatry in 2013, found a relationship between low levels of zinc and depression in the 1,643 patients studied.

Insomnia and Sleep Disorders
Calcium, magnesium and zinc all have a role in helping you sleep through the night. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences published a study in 2017 that found orally administered zinc may increase the amount and quality of sleep.
Calcium helps the brain manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin. As it turns out, the time-tested remedy of drinking warm milk before bed to induce sleep does has some scientific merit. Dairy has a relaxing effect due to its calcium and magnesium content, which researchers have found can actually help you sleep.
A 2014 study investigated the effectiveness of calcium and magnesium as natural sleep aids to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Discussions, published in the journal of Current Signal Transduction Therapy, verified that sleep disorders may be related to diet. Calcium and magnesium were shown to improve sleep, and barley grass powder, high in both these minerals, was recommended as an effective food to promote sleep.
Bone Development and Osteoporosis
You may have noticed that the calcium supplements you take to help maintain the health of your bones contain magnesium. That's because magnesium is needed for calcium absorption. Your bones act as the storage reserve for much of the calcium and magnesium in your body.
A deficiency in magnesium alters the metabolism of calcium and affects the hormones that regulate calcium. A zinc deficiency is also associated with a decrease in bone density, according to Spine Universe.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation says 54 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis. The condition significantly increases your risk of bone breaks, usually in the hip, wrist or spine.
Read more: Top Bone Diseases
To examine the role of certain mineral deficiencies in bone formation, a study measured the levels of magnesium, calcium and zinc in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Results, published in the Clinical Cases in Mineral and Bone Metabolism in 2015, found that the osteoporotic postmenopausal participants had significantly lower levels of these minerals than the recommended dietary allowance.
The study concluded that supplementation with magnesium, calcium, zinc and perhaps copper, is recommended for the treatment of low bone density and osteoporosis.

~~ Proverbs 14:12 (NASB)~~ There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
I was thinking about all the wonderful ways that God sends messages to us; the wonderment of His ways to teach us things. The Bible (His Word) is always the foundation. However, God can use anything to teach us what He wants us to know; nature, TV, books, music (of any genre), other people, animals, accidents, humor, pain, sorrow, tragedy; and the list goes on. He can use anything to bring you closer to Him; even the stuff that the enemy is to blame for causing! God will use whatever method He knows will speak to you the most. It's much the same idea that He will speak to you in your language; and every one of us speaks a unique language. How He talks to you is not the same as He talks to me, or the guy next door.
For me, He has very often uses things that I read to teach me things. It's not the only tool He uses, though; to get through my thick scull when I'm being stubborn or heedless and He's trying to get my attention. Nevertheless one of my favorite ways is through reading. I read a lot, but I think most writers read a lot. Granted I wasn't always a reader; but that's a whole other story. Every day I spend at least 30 minutes reading from a book; a book that is helpful to me in some way. I read daily devotional messages both in my prayer and quiet time with Him; and online. I subscribe to a number of Christian blogs and article subscriptions. God always seems to make sure that I see things that I need to hear for the current challenge in my life.
Like many people, women in particular; self esteem is a problem. It certainly was for me for many years; and even now when the enemy starts to get to me in my weak moments. There's a long history for me about this, and how I came to have low self esteem. For a long time, I truly believed that I was not a beautiful person; inside or outside. One day during a particularly upsetting time in my life; I was going through my bookshelf for the next book I wanted to read. I have lots that I haven't read before. I seem to bring home new ones at a faster rate than I actually read them. I found one that moved me so much that I just needed to share it with you.
The title is: Who Calls Me Beautiful?
My Review: Every woman... No. Wait... make that, every female, no matter what her age, should read this book. It describes what I have wanted and been hoping for from God, and never realized it. This is the kind of person that I hope to become one day. If the younger generation; our girls of today, the women of the future; would read this book and strive to become beautiful according to God's definition of 'beauty'; the world would be changed. I can see more clearly how God is working in my life. More and more I want God to change me to be like this... beautiful, according to His definition of the word. At the end of each chapter are practical questions to answer to help you do a more in-depth study, and to help you understand and put it to practice in your own life. This would be a wonderful book for a ladies group bible study.
Read my blog "The Reflection in the Mirror" for my story of self image struggles. You are beautiful. The God who created the universe says so!
~~ Dear God ~~ Thank You for calling me beautiful. Thank You for all the lessons You teach me in the methods You use. Your ways are always better than my ways. Help me to stop being so stubborn and strong willed. Make my heart willing to be willing to change into Your definition of beautiful. I am proud and honored to be Your Child; and heir with Christ. Please let the beauty of this fact show from within me so that others can see the beauty of Jesus as well. In His name, AMEN.


Sort of a Cyrano re-imagining by way of a buddy cop comedy, a '70s blaxploitation film, and an unfortunately timely message, BlacKkKlansman just hit Cannes and is seeming like another highlight of Spike Lee's uneven filmography. Based on a true story, period piece sees Denzel scion John David Washington as a rookie cop who decides to try and infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan. He manages to maneuver his way in on the phone—even talking with Grand Wizard David Duke (Topher Grace)—but as, you know, a black guy, he needs a white guy to be the face of the operation. Already accustomed to being surrounded by faceless fascist minions clad in all white, Adam Driver co-stars as that dude.


In observance of the Labor Day holiday, Rep. Jeff Pyle (R-Armstrong/Indiana) today announced that his three district offices and his Harrisburg office will be closed on Monday, Sept. 7.
Pyle's offices will resume normal office hours on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
In addition, for Pyle's staff to undergo training in Harrisburg, the Ford City and Rayne Township offices will be closing at 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14, and will reopen at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16.
Pyle's Internet office can be accessed anytime day or night by visiting JeffPyle.net. There, residents can download state forms, link to state agencies or send Pyle an e-mail from the comfort of home.

Q: com.parse.ParseObject cannot be cast to I am developing application which having Parse Platform. To fetch data I am calling ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground function.
I have registered the Parse and its sub class into the Application class like below :
public class App extends Application {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(){
        super.onCreate();
        Parse.setLogLevel(Parse.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE);
        OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
        HttpLoggingInterceptor httpLoggingInterceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
        httpLoggingInterceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
        builder.networkInterceptors().add(httpLoggingInterceptor);
        ParseObject.registerSubclass(ParseMessage.class);
        Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(this)
                        .applicationId("KEY")
                        .server("URL")
                        .build());
    }
}

I have below model class which extends ParseObject :
@ParseClassName("ParseMessage")
public class ParseMessage extends ParseObject {

    // Ensure that your subclass has a public default constructor
    public ParseMessage() {
        super();
    }

    public ParsePhoto getPhotos() {
        return (ParsePhoto) getParseObject("photos");
    }

    public void setPhotos(ParsePhoto value) {
        put("photos", value);
    }

    public String getCaption() {
        return getString("caption");
    }

    public void setCaption(String value) {
        put("caption", value);
    }

}

When I calling this below method from my Fragment :
HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground("MY_METHOD", params, new FunctionCallback<ArrayList<ParseMessage>>() {
            public void done(ArrayList<ParseMessage> mapObject, ParseException e) {
                if (e == null) {
                    ParseMessage object = mapObject.get(i);
                    }
                } else {
                }
    }
});

But I am getting below exception :

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.parse.ParseObject cannot be cast to
  com.example.ParseMessage

I already searched lots of thins from Google and Stackoverflow, but I did not get any solutions of it. Can anyone help me into this as I already spend a lot of time on this. Below response which I am getting from Parse :

A: The info you have provided is not very concrete, but from the debugger screen, it looks like you are trying to convert ParsePhoto into ParseMessage. ParsePhoto is subclass of ParseObject, and I believe this is causing the issue.

Włodzimierz (ros. Влади́мир, Władimir) – miasto w Rosji, stolica obwodu włodzimierskiego; leży nad Klaźmą (dopływ Oki), liczy około 356 tys. mieszkańców (2020).

Historia
Resztki najstarszej osady znalezione na terenie dzisiejszego miasta datowane są na 30 tys. lat p.n.e. W 990 n.e. książę kijowski Włodzimierz I Wielki założył gród będący początkiem współczesnego Włodzimierza. Miasto szybko się rozwijało i w 1157 stało się stolicą największego z północnych księstw Rusi – księstwa włodzimiersko-suzdalskiego kosztem starej stolicy, Suzdala. Pomimo zniszczeń spowodowanych najazdem Mongołów i zdobyciem grodu 7 lutego 1238 miasto dalej zyskiwało na znaczeniu, a po osiedleniu się tu w 1299 Maksyma, metropolity kijowskiego, uciekającego przed Mongołami, Włodzimierz był faktyczną duchową i symboliczną stolicą Rusi. Od początku XIV wieku wzrastająca rola Księstwa Moskiewskiego doprowadziła do powolnego upadku politycznego znaczenia Włodzimierza. W 1325 metropolita Piotr przeprowadził się z Włodzimierza do Moskwy. Ostatecznie niezawisłość księstwa włodzimierskiego zaniknęła w 1328, kiedy książę moskiewski Iwan I Kalita został jednocześnie władcą księstwa włodzimierskiego. Od tego momentu Włodzimierz był znaczącym miastem w obrębie księstwa moskiewskiego. W 1382 Włodzimierz spustoszyły wojska chana Tochtamysza, a w 1441 (według innych źródeł w 1412) armia rosyjsko-mongolska chana Tałycza. W 1614 pod miasto podszedł polski oddział pod dowództwem Aleksandra Lisowskiego, zniszczył on przedmieścia jednak samego grodu nie zdobył. W XVIII wieku miasto zaczęło się znów szybko rozwijać jako stolica prowincji, a potem guberni. W 1744 ustanowiono tu siedzibę biskupstwa. W latach 1838–1840 mieszkał tu znany rosyjski polityk opozycyjny pisarz Aleksandr Hercen, odbywający w mieście karę zesłania. Od 1861 połączony koleją z Moskwą. W okresie ZSRR na krótko (1929–1944) utracił status miasta obwodowego. W latach 20. i 30. XX wieku władze komunistyczne zniszczyły większość cerkwi, w tym część z XII wieku.

Zabytki
We Włodzimierzu zachowała się znaczna część budowli z czasów świetności księstwa włodzimiersko-suzdalskiego, toteż jest to jedno z najciekawszych turystycznie miast Rosji. Zalicza się go do tzw. Złotego Pierścienia, czyli około dziesięciu miast centralnej Rosji o unikalnej architekturze i historycznym znaczeniu w dziejach kraju. Wszystkie zachowane zabytki z XII–XIII wieku zbudowano z białego wapienia wieku karbońskiego przywiezionego z północno-zachodniej części księstwa suzdalskiego, w pobliżu Moskwy.

 Sobór Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej (Успенский собор) powstał w latach 1158–1160 zbudowany przez mistrzów z Niemiec, przebudowany po wielkim pożarze w 1185, w okresie 1185-1189, od tego czasu praktycznie bez większych zmian. Fragmentarycznie zachowały się freski z XII–XIII wieku i znacznie bardziej kompletne freski najwybitniejszego artysty rosyjskiego średniowiecza Rublowa z 1408. W 1810 obok soboru postawiono dzwonnicę, na miejscu starej uszkodzonej przez piorun w 1806.

, dopiero książę Iwan III Srogi w 1462 przeniósł ceremonię do Moskwy. W tym też okresie świątynia była miejscem spoczynku zwłok wielkich kniaziów oraz miejscem synodów Cerkwi prawosławnej. Główną relikwią cerkwi (i całej Rusi) była Włodzimierska Ikona Matki Bożej (przeniesiona w 1395 do Moskwy).

Pierwotna budowla z zewnątrz wyłożona była płytami marmurowymi, kopuła złocona, a miedziane dachy pokryte zostały ornamentami z kutego srebra. W 1161 wykonano wewnątrz freski. Wyposażenie liturgiczne składało się w większości z przedmiotów wykonanych z czystego srebra i złota. W Kijowie zamówiono także główne wrota, które miały być wykonane z czystego złota, jednak nie zostały one wykonane. Po pożarach lub grabieżach w latach 1185, 1238 i 1412 każdorazowo musiano całkowicie odtwarzać wyposażenie wnętrz. Obecnie istniejące, wiąże się z odrodzeniem znaczenia świątyni od 1645, kiedy to przekazano cerkwi relikwie świętego księcia Grzegorza, a w 1702 także książąt Andrzeja Bogolubskiego i jego syna Gleba. W latach 1768–1774 caryca Katarzyna II Wielka ufundowała nowy ikonostas oraz przebudowę wnętrza i ozdobienie go w stylu włoskiego baroku. Przy tej okazji usunięto większość starego (średniowiecznego) wystroju, a stare freski, w tym Rublowa, zamalowano i przykryto nowymi barokowymi. W XIX wieku wykonano srebrne zdobienia grobów władców i świętych.

 Sobór św. Dymitra Sołuńskiego (Димитриевский собор) zbudowano w latach 1194–1197 (czasami początek budowy podaje się na 1193, a Timofiejewa uważa na bazie letopisu, że sobór ukończono w 1191 r.), z tego okresu pochodzi też bogaty zespół rzeźb pokrywających część zewnętrznych fasad świątyni. Był on świątynią przypałacową, związaną z dworem książęcym. Świątynia była obudowana od zewnątrz galeriami i schodami, których wiek zdaniem części badaczy jest identyczny z soborem, a według innych galerie powstały trochę później, po 1199 r. Galerie te w latach 1837–1839 zostały zniszczone na polecenia cara Mikołaja I, by odsłonić pierwotny wygląd świątyni. We wnętrzu soboru zachowały się resztki fresków przedstawiających sceny Sądu Ostatecznego z XII wieku.

 Złota Brama – wieża bramna zbudowana w okresie 1158–1164, przebudowywana w wiekach: XVII i w XVIII, wskutek czego straciła wiele pierwotnych cech. Pierwotnie była fragmentem fortyfikacji miejskich. Na szczycie wieży wybudowano malutką cerkiew (będącą równowiekową z bramą), restaurowaną w r. 1469 oraz w latach 1691–1695 i całkowicie przebudowaną na przełomie XVIII/XIX w (Kamszilin et al. podają, że na miejscu starej powstała wtedy nowa, ceglana). Według Kamszilina et al. budowniczymi bramy byli mistrzowie włodzimierscy, jednak Zagrajewski dowodzi, iż mistrzów budowniczych przysłał cesarz Fryderyk I Barbarossa, przywołując też analogiczny sąd Tatiszczewa.
 Sobór Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej z XVI wieku w obrębie klasztoru Kniagini;
 Trzy cerkwie z XVIII wieku (Bogurodzicy, św. Nikity, św. Mikołaja);
 Cerkiew Św. Trójcy
 kilka cerkwi z XIX wieku i z tegoż wieku działający kościół katolicki;
 Sukiennice z okresu 1787–1790;
 11 kilometrów od Włodzimierza znajduje się także jedna z najstarszych zachowanych cerkwi w Rosji, cerkiew Opieki Matki Bożej nad rzeką Nerl (Покрова на Нерли) z połowy XII wieku z bogatym wystrojem kamieniarskim zewnętrznych fasad.

W ZSRR zniszczono prawie wszystkie włodzimierskie cerkwie powstałe w XVII i XVIII wiekach (w nawiasie data zniszczenia):
 św. Mikołaja Złotobramnego (Николозлатовратская)z 1690 (1929);
 św. Paraskiewy (Пятницкая) z 1770 (lata 60. XX wieku);
 św. Jana Teologa (Богословская, Иоанна Богослова) z 1775 (zniszczona około 1927);
 św. św. Borysa i Gleba (Борисоглебская) z 1756 (lata 30. XX wieku);
 św. Sergiusza (Сергиевская) z 1779 (1929);
 Świętych Niewiast Niosących Wonności (Святых жен Мироносиц) z 1776 (1929);
 Kazańskiej Ikony Matki Bożej (Казанская) z 1782 (1970) – w cerkwi tej brał ślub Aleksandr Hercen;
 św. Eliasza (Ильинская) z XVIII wieku (1929);
 kaplica Wielkiego Księcia Włodzimierza z 1797 (1925);
 kościół protestancki z 1884 (lata 30. XX wieku).

Przede wszystkim jednak w 1930 zniszczono jeden z najstarszych w Rosji klasztorów, klasztor Narodzenia Matki Bożej (Богородице-Рождественский монастырь) z przełomu XII i XIII wieku, w tym cerkiew pod tym samym wezwaniem. Z klasztoru ocalał tylko mur okalający z XVIII wieku wraz z przybramną cerkiewką z XIX wieku. Nowa cerkiew na miejscu historycznego soboru Narodzenia Matki Bożej została wyświęcona w 2004 r. W klasztorze tym w 1263 pochowano jednego z najsłynniejszych książąt i wodzów wczesnej Rusi, Aleksandra Newskiego. Dopiero na rozkaz cara Piotra I w początku XVIII wieku przeniesiono jego szczątki do Petersburga.

Włodzimierskie więzienie centralne
We Włodzimierzu mieści się największe więzienie Rosji , założone w 1783 ukazem carycy Katarzyny II. Było miejscem uwięzienia wielu prominentnych osób, m.in. Delegata Rządu na Kraj Jana Stanisława Jankowskiego i archmandryty Klemensa Szeptyckiego.

Stress is sweeping the country. Anxiety disorders effect 40 million adults in the United States. That's over 18 % of the population! These issues are highly treatable but only a third of those suffering receive treatment.
The cultural shift in understanding, accepting and treating anxiety and depression has brought the benefits of acupuncture to the forefront. The Scientific American touts a new study finding acupuncture to be as effective as antidepressants. Another report found that acupuncture may help treat the side effects of antidepressant medications.
Acupuncture can trigger the nervous system to produce painkilling chemicals, jump-start the body's natural ability to heal itself, or stimulate the part of the brain that controls emotions, including anxiety. These results can help you feel more balanced with diminished symptoms of anxiety, stress or depression.
Please don't suffer in silence. We're here to offer solutions that improve the quality of your life and reduce stress levels. That's a good thing for everyone in your life.

This page will give you information on sorting and grading alpaca fleece. This knowledge is useful for the hobby farmer when selecting new animals to add to your herd and to market the fleece of your animals after shearing. It is also useful for people buying raw fiber.
Alpacas exhibit 11 different colour classes: white, beige, 3 degrees of fawn, 3 degrees of brown, bay black, true black, silver or rose greys. Some breeders concentrate on one colour however it is very difficult to breed for specific colours since genetics play games with us. I owned a true black female from a medium fawn male and a beige female. Obviously both parents had black in their bloodlines.
The length is measured from the base of the cut to the tip without stretching. The alpacas are shorn once a year so the length corresponds to annual fiber growth. When the animals are very old, they will grow a lot less length and can be shorn every other year.
When the quality of alpaca fiber is determined, this characteristic account for 70% to 90% of the evaluation. The diameter of the fiber is measured with specialised equipment. Fiber with a diameter of 20 microns or less is very sought for. This fiber is often called baby alpaca.
There are other criteria to determine the quality of fiber however the ones above are the most important.
Visit this page again. The information here will be very useful.
I have very little knowledge about alpacas. Are they only useful for the fibers? What can you produce with their fibers? For how many years an alpaca can be productive?
I think you should post more general information about alpacas, so farmers can decide where ever or not to buy this kind of livestock.
The main product of alpaca breeding is the fleece. Breeders also make money selling animals and selling stud services. Some large farms produce meat however this use is still very rare in Canada. It is more done in South America. An alpaca in US or Canada live to the age of 20 but the fleece is normally best in the first 10 years of their life.
Many products may be made out of alpaca including all the garments made of sheep wool. The yarn compares to the best sheep wool without the lanoline and the itchiness. We mostly see alpaca socks, scarves, mittens, sweaters and felting products.
I will get my alpaca breeder friends to write blogs on my site later this year. They have a lot more experience with the product side of alpaca fiber.

Apple have just rolled out a new update to their next-gen OS, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. The developer preview has been pushed up to build 12A206j. This update replaces the current build 12A193i, which was released a little over two weeks ago.
Apple notes that "MacBookPro3,1", which links up to mid-to-late 2007 models, is not compatible with the new build of Mountain Lion, but will be fixed in later builds of the OS. There aren't many other details about the update, or what improvements it has made. But it seems Apple are baking in some final tweaks for developers leading up to their Worldwide Developers Conference next month.
The company is expected to provide extensive previews of Mountain Lion at the conference, with the public release scheduled for "late summer".


I have tried every pumpkin candle on the market over the years and this one by far smells the best. It doesn't have that artificial smell that some of the other brands have. It's a bit pricier, but it lasts for a really long time- and, it's made with natural soy beeswax. The tins are awesome as well as the glass. Large tin, small tin, and the diffuser (works just as well if you don't like candles).
It's not really something I want displayed in my home, but I have found that hiding a cinnamon broom behind the sofa makes the entire house smell as if I'm baking up something delicious! You can find them at any market, but here is a link in case you can't find one and are interested.
A very inexpensive way to make your entire house smell like fall is pushing cloves into oranges and displaying for all to see (or you can hide them). You can find instructions on how to make them here.
Juice goes into saucepan, add syrup, add the rest of the ingredients into a cheese cloth, and then simmer for at least 10 minutes without letting it boil.
That cider recipe sounds delicious! It would be worth it for the smell alone. I think I'm going to try that, thanks!
A cinnamon broom - that's a new one (to me)! But it sounds like it smells ridiculously amazing!
pumpkin candles are my favorite!!


That's no camera angle – that's just … ugh … wrong.
Mom! When I grow up I want to be an elephant palpator!
I think it's for real…does he have a flashlight?
I hope he washes…himself…after all that.
That may very well be on the list of "you can't pay me enough to do that".

Q: How to disable a div after click once in react in that case if you first time click show its show hello world its right but  again if you click on show its should not work. now its became a toggle but how can I do after one click its not working means after showing the hello world its should not again hide if you want to click again.
I'm also use pointer Event its also not working
import React, { useState } from "react";
export default function DropDown() {
  const [show,setShow]=useState(false)
  return (
    <>
      {show?
hello world
:null}

{setShow(!show);return false;}}>show

    </>
  )
}

A: You can simply modify your onClick with one time value set
onClick={()=>{setShow(true)}} //one time set

Full code
import React, { useState } from "react";
export default function DropDown() {
  const [show,setShow]=useState(false)
  return (
    <>
      {show?
hello world
:null}

{setShow(true)}}>show

    </>
  )
}

If you want to disable that button after show update, you can set disabled={show} to that button
import React, { useState } from "react";
export default function DropDown() {
  const [show,setShow]=useState(false)
  return (
    <>
      {show?
hello world
:null}

{setShow(true)}} disabled={show}>show

    </>
  )
}
