Pastor Charged With Sexually Assaulting Unconscious Parishioner
"Pastor" Freeman said "We insert things into people" and "you don't ask what happens [during deliverance]…
"Pastor" Meally Morris Freeman
A Minnesota opportunist who calls himself a pastor sexually assaulted a 28-year-old woman after she became unconscious during two "anointing sessions" and has now been charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct that could land him in prison for 15 years and a fine of $30,000.
A criminal complaint against Meally Morris Freeman, the 55-year-old "pastor" of Grace Mountaineer Tabernacle Church in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota said the woman accusing him of criminal behavior saw him as a "spiritual father" when she went to him for spiritual guidance starting on Sept. 20, 2017, according to Fox 9.
In January, however, she told police that Freeman sexually assaulted her at the church which led to his arrest on Tuesday.
She explained that during an anointing session at the church, the pastor anointed her with oil and advised her that she was in need of "deliverance" that would require a one-on-one session with him.
Trusting the spiritual guidance, the woman said she attended a one-on-one session with Freeman and he gave her small cups of 'oil' to drink. Soon after they began to pray, the woman says she lost consciousness…
When she woke up, the woman explained that her underwear was wet and there was oil on her stomach and near her breasts. The pastor told her he had "anointed all places, but that he didn't see all places," and informed her she needed a second session that would take place after Bible study that night. The woman said in their second deliverance session she became unconscious again but when she woke up this time her pants and underwear were hanging ripped at her ankles and her shirt and bra were pulled up over her chest.
She said the pastor, who was spraying a water bottle filled with oil on her private areas, also inappropriately touched her genitals and anus.
It wasn't until she shared what happened to a friend that the woman realized she was sexually assaulted.
The woman eventually confronted Freeman and recorded their conversation without him knowing. Freeman did not deny touching her genitals, but instead discussed the "deliverance process." He admitted he anointed her breasts with oil and told her, "We insert things into people" and "you don't ask what happens [during deliverance], you don't go into details and that deliverance can be very tempting."
The woman said at another meeting a church elder, Freeman and his wife [who should be arrested too] told her not to report the incident to police.
This disgusting so-called pastor Meally Freeman was arrested by Brooklyn Center Minnesota police Tuesday around 4 p.m. and is in custody at Hennepin County Jail.
This is an absolute mockery of God and His Kingdom…. Psalms 118:8 says It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man; it's funny how Christians seem to overlook that verse. If you need "deliverance" from sexual sins make a decision to live above all evil and JUST STOP DOING IT, then you'll be delivered! James 4:7~ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Many unfavorable "church" situations can be avoided if Christians would obey whats written in the bible instead of just reading it.

Pastor Tim Omotoso Accused of Rape and Other Charges of Sexual Misconduct
The pastor is accused of trafficking more than 30 girls and women who were from various branches of his church
Former Idols SA contestants Neliswa and Anele Mxakaza have finally spoken out against their former pastor, Timothy Omotoso. Last year the Nigerian-born pastor made headlines after he was charged for human trafficking and rape and later discovered to be in South Africa illegally due to fraudulent papers The senior pastor of the Jesus Dominion International Church was accused of keeping young female congregants of his church in a house in Umhlanga in Durban and sexually assaulting them.
Pastor Timothy Omotoso
During his court case early last year, Neliswa and Anele – who were members of his church and lived with him – came out in his defense and even claimed they loved him. Now the twins have issued a statement and revealed they always knew about the abuse that went on in the house in Umhlanga.
"We have lived in his house in Umhlanga for about a year, it was the worst experience ever," they said. "We were actually pushed to please the man, we were told that God will punish us if we ever say anything against [Pastor] Omotoso. We lived a life full of threats and fear."
Sexual comments
It is not clear whether these twins were sexually violated or not because according to DRUM they asserted that they were not sexually violated and that he only made sexual comments directed at them.
"He would make comments about certain parts of our bodies in front of all the other girls. He would also ask us personal questions about whether we're having sex with our boyfriends."
She added that this made them very uncomfortable, which is why they eventually decided to leave the house because they feared they would eventually be assaulted.
"We were made to believe Omotoso is the closest person to God and we can never have a relationship with God but only through Omotoso," the statement further read.They added that they believe their spirits were controlled by the pastor and they could see all the wrongs, but were never bold enough to speak out."We were even asked to go do newspaper interviews to protect Omotoso," they said in the statement.
Speaking about the abuse they faced in the pastor's house, the twins said they saw everything that happened to all those women who've spoken out against the alleged rapist. There have since been 18 additional charges of sexual misconduct brought against Omotoso.
Pastor Tim Omotoso
"The rape allegations were not new to us when Omotoso was arrested – it's something we knew long before he got arrested.
"The girls would talk immediately after it happened in the house and when one was called to the upper room we knew what was going to happen to them, we were made to keep quiet and never say anything.
"Even when we had left the church we were still not free to talk, we were afraid something bad will happen to us or our families," they said.
Attorney comment
Omotoso's newly appointed attorney Peter Daubermann said that he is unsure how these allegations by the twins will affect the case at this point.
"We have not heard anything about these new allegations yet, so it is too soon to tell how it will affect our moving forward," he told DRUM.
NPA communications manager Tsepo Ndwalaza was not immediately available for comment. The twins were contestants on season 9 of Idols SA.
According to News24, Omotoso and one of his co-accused appeared in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court on Monday. The case was postponed to March 7 because a third accused wasn't present.

Radio Evangelist RG Stair Accused of Sexual Assault – Congregation Watched as He Inappropriately touched a 12 year old girl
"I'm here to talk about an incident with a man named R.G. Stair. For five months, I went to work at the community. The first month, he would find me in the dining hall and touch my butt a lot.
South Carolina police say they are now investigating video evidence that accuses controversial radio evangelist Pastor Ralph Gordon Stair, also known as Brother R.G. Stair and "the prophet," of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl and touching the breast of a 12-year-old girl in his church while the congregation watched.
Stair, 84, who leads the Overcomer Ministry community in Walterboro, pleaded guilty in 2004 of fondling two former female residents. Members of the community live, work and raise their children there. New members can only move there after they accept Stair as the "last day prophet," take a vow of poverty and donate all their property and financial assets to the ministry.
In one of the controversial videos currently being investigated, Stair cups and pats the breast of a 12-year-old girl as members of his church watch.
"How old are you hon?" Stairs asks the girl in the video. When she tells him that she is just 12, he replies, "Twelve, getting right close to it now" to indicate that she is close to the age where she could start having sex. That age, according to a man narrating the video who says he is a former member of the church, is 13.
As the video continues, Stair tells the girl to come up to the front of the church after previously hugging her.
"Come here, I'll show you, just look, look here," he says.
He then makes the 12-year-old face the congregation then places his hand between her breasts.
"Growing up," he says, before cupping and patting her right breast. He then sends her back to her seat and promises to stay on her case.
"I'm gonna touch those things till nobody else can touch 'em," he says in the video about her breasts.
In another video, a 16-year-old girl named Natosha who claims she is being forced to attend his church, says she was sexually assaulted by Stair while working at his compound for five months.
"I'm here to talk about an incident with a man named R.G. Stair. For five months, I went to work at the community. The first month, he would find me in the dining hall and touch my butt a lot. The second month, he would come in and he would start lifting up my shirt and touching me sexually. And the third and fourth month, he would just repeat himself," she explained.
It wasn't until the fifth month she said, that Stair took his predatory behavior to another level.
"The fifth month, he asked me to go to the radio room and I didn't want to go there. I did not," she said.
"He wanted to give me something so I went. When we got inside he gave me what he wanted to give me and then he started fondling my breasts. And he kept asking me 'Do you feel good, do you feel good.' And I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to do. I just didn't. And so I turned around to go out the door and he grabbed me from behind, wrapped his arms around me and he said, 'I wish I could keep you in here longer.' Then he started touching and rubbing my vagina inside my pants and after that, nothing really happened," she said.
In another instance, Stair offers a rub down to an overweight young girl.
"She get fat see," he says as the young girl walked up to him at the church. "You don't get like your sister do you?" he asked her as she replies "no."
"Why you big ol' fat thing. Big mouth, smart aleck," he responds. "Ahhh," he continues with a sigh until he embraces her and pats her down with his hands extending down the small of her back.
"She getting' fat. I know 'cause I feel it," he tells the congregation as he continues patting her down.
"You gaining weight?" he soon asks. She shook her head and said "no."
He laughs, cups her face with both hands and says: "We gon' make it. We gon' make it nice and slim. Slim and trim. I'll give you a rub down.
"You shouldn't mess with a woman's breast. Why not? I love them," he says while making sucking sounds and smacking his lips.
Lt. Tyger Benton of the Colleton County Sheriff's Office told The Christian Post Friday that they were sent the videos about two weeks ago and are currently investigating.
"We were shown the videos. The sheriff is aware of them. He looked at them, got in contact with our investigations department, had them start looking into it and at this point, SLED, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, has been notified which is gonna be working alongside us with that," he said. "Right now, it's just an investigation phase. No charges have been brought up, no warrants and so forth."
When asked if the police had contacted Stairs, he said: "I don't feel we need to contact him at this point as we're just looking into it. I'm sure that once … if we find something that we need to go forward with then yes, he would probably be contacted at that point."
He further noted that he was not able to say if any of the girls or parents of any of the girls have come forward to make a charge against Stair.
Messages left for Stair at his ministry were not returned on Friday. The former member narrating one of the videos, however, describes the church community as a "cult" that preys on young girls.
"Ralph Gordon Stairs' MO is to prep young girls' minds to accept what is eventually to become a sexual assault. He uses his influence, his position and spiritual power to control them. It's only within the last six months that he's beginning to do it publicly," the former member said.
"It concerns me that while listening to his recent speeches, he has really began pushing that at the age of 13, a girl becomes a woman and can start being with boys and has to watch out for boys. He obviously has some young targets for him to be changing his narrative," he continued.
"With the girls' safety in mind, I believe the context of individual events are irrelevant. He has a history of assaulting young women, and has already pled guilty to similar crimes in the past. He's a master manipulator and although he calls it a church, as a former member, let me assure you, it is a cult," the ex-member ended.

John Ruskin born here
Birthplace of a English art critic and social thinker
Location: 54 Hunter Street, Holborn, WC1N
Description: John Ruskin (8 February 1819 - 20 January 1900) was an English art critic and social thinker, also remembered as a poet and artist.
His essays on art and architecture were extremely influential in the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Ruskin first came to widespread attention for his support for the work of J. M. W. Turner and his defence of naturalism in art.
He subsequently put his weight behind the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His later writings turned increasingly to complex and personal explorations of the interconnection of cultural, social and moral issues, and were influential on the development of Christian socialism.

Michelle Blakely takes reins of 2 Advocate hospitals
Kelly Gooch - Monday, November 14th, 2022
Michelle Blakely, PhD, has assumed her new role as president of Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, Ill., and Advocate Trinity Hospital in Chicago.
In her new role, Dr. Blakely leads both hospitals, which are part of Advocate Aurora Health, a system dually headquartered in Downers Grove, Ill., and Milwaukee. She began the position Oct. 1.
Now, she aims to ensure the hospitals continue to be "destination sites" for healthcare in communities she considers her own, Dr. Blakely said, according to The Daily Southtown.
"It is exciting — this notion of real gratification," she told the publication. "I believe everything's in divine order. I'm always looking out for: How did I land in a place? And this feels like a gift. It's a gift to me to have had such a long career as a healthcare administrator and then to find myself in a position to serve the very community where I live and where I grew up. It's quite gratifying and fun."
Previously, Dr. Blakely was president of Aurora Medical Center–Grafton (Wis.), according to a September news release shared with Becker's. She also served as COO of Chicago-based Norwegian American Hospital, now known as Humboldt Part Health.

Tina Toon AOC Caught Red Handed!
AOC got caught with her hand in the proverbial "cookie jar".
A complaint was filed with the FEC on Monday, stating two PACs founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocaiso-Cortez's top aid funneled over $1 million in political donations into two of his own private companies.
The cash transfers from the PACs run counter to AOC's pledges to increase "transparency and reduce "dark money" influence in politics.
Another case of "the rules do not apply to me"?
Of course AOC denied any wrong doing and claimed there was no violation.
Looks like the socialist freshman congresswoman is trying to cut the line in Democrat corruption. Hey AOC, it usually takes years to be this bold, stupid and corrupt.
We think AOC is ahead of the curve.
Hope you enjoyed this Tina Toon with extra Spice!

If I could slow the pace of just one thing, it would be the progression of cancer in my sister's body. I would bring it to a complete halt.
I would give her time to see her son graduate from college, get married and establish a family.
I would give her time to see her daughter's two boys – both under the age of five – grow, graduate and marry.
I would give her time to build that dream home on her up north property and enjoy a well-deserved retirement with her husband.
I would give myself the gift of her award-winning smile around my Thanksgiving table for many years to come.
And the sensory delights of many more Christmases at her house. Her house with its perfectly decked halls, amazingly beautiful mantel, cheerful welcome and the aromas of heaven wafting from her kitchen.
If I could, she would die an old woman, full of years.
← You're At Church, Be Nice.
Beautiful. I will add that to my prayers, as well.
Make that 2 of us. I'm praying for a friend already, another won't make a difference to a God who is able.
Thank you so much Imanikel. God is able. I will be praying for your friend, too.
My thoughts are with you and your sister.
Thank you so much. I wrote that post back in November 2014 – the last time this prompt was issued. Sadly, she passed in August. I really appreciate your kindness.

Landowners angered over bill giving drillers power to combine leases
(Marie Cusick/StateImpact Pa.)
An organization representing Pennsylvania's mineral owners is angered over a bill that sailed through the state legislature over the weekend. It now awaits Governor Corbett's signature.
The Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association of Royalty Owners (NARO-PA) says Senate Bill 259 allows gas companies to combine, or "pool" leases.
They argue it could adversely impact some people who signed leases years ago and didn't anticipate modern shale gas drilling.
Vertical or "conventional" drilling techniques worked more like, "you stick a straw in and suck it all out," explains NARO-PA Vice President Trevor Walczak.
Newer horizontal, or "unconventional" drilling techniques don't just go straight down — they move sideways. So drillers can extract oil and gas from under multiple land parcels at the same time. It's often more efficient for companies to pool the parcels together.
The legislation would give companies the ability to combine parcels for horizontal drilling, unless it's explicitly prohibited in the lease.
The bill was introduced by Senator Gene Yaw (R- Lycoming). His district includes some of the most drilled-on areas in Pennsylvania.
The legislation was originally promoted as an effort to bring more transparency to the deductions companies take out of royalty payments. Complaints over those deductions lead to a Senate hearing on the issue last week.
Yaw disagrees with NARO's interpretation of the bill.
"This is not pooling," he says. "I don't understand what their concern is."
Yaw says the bill only allows gas companies that have already leased a contiguous piece of land to go underneath the parcels– minimizing the disturbance on the surface.
"We're giving the gas company the right to make the decision," he says, "They don't have to go on the property and drill, but they could go under it horizontally. Actually, it's an environmental piece of legislation because we're cutting down the number of well pads."
Governor Corbett has said publicly he would not sign a bill containing language related to "forced pooling" — which would give drillers the right to take gas from a property owner who has not signed a lease. This bill only allows companies to combine existing leases.
But Jackie Root, NARO-PA president, says the bill's language still leaves landowners at a disadvantage– hindering their ability to renegotiate old leases.
"[The legislature] just said: 'Here, oil and gas industry. You can pool, and you can make the rules," she says.
Walczak stresses NARO-PA supports the gas industry, but wants to make sure its business practices are fair to landowners.
"The Republican caucus doesn't understand the difference between supporting the industry and holding the industry in check," he says.


Don't Know Where To Get Philadelphia Theater Tickets From?
If you are new to the town and don't know where to buy Philadelphia theater tickets from, then read on to know about some sure shot avenues that sell theater tickets. But before we move on the different options, let us first see what is so great about the Philadelphia Theater.
Philadelphia is one of the most exciting and attractive cities in the world. It offers an endless variety of entertainment and various tourist attractions too. In fact, the city has the capacity to recreate your dreams and fulfill all your desires. So whether you are visiting this city or are a permanent resident, you must enjoy an occasional Broadway show that is staged in any of the Philadelphia theaters.
You can visit the box office booths of the theaters and see if they have some available tickets. In most probability, they won't. This is because most theaters that feature hit Broadway shows start selling the tickets months in advance and are left with none just prior to the opening of the show.Another option is standing in a queue on the day of the opening of the show. You might get lucky and be offered partial view tickets, student rush tickets, standing only tickets or some discount Philadelphia theater tickets. While the above mentioned options are a bit dicey, there is a sure shot option as well. Book your ticket online. Yes! This is the only way you would be guaranteed your theater ticket. Though you would be charged an additional amount over the face value of the ticket, still it is a worthwhile option as you would not want to miss a famous Broadway production for anything in the world.
Booking online theater tickets is the only way you can catch the action live. Search for a reputed online ticket broker and ensure that he is a legitimate one. He should also be a member of the National Association of Ticket Brokers. As it is, theater tickets are exorbitantly priced, so obviously you would not want to get fleeced by fraudulent brokers. Deal cautiously and get your Philadelphia Theater tickets home delivered.
The ticket broker would have tickets for all the concert venues and would offer you the seating charts as well. Besides booking your tickets, your ticket broker would also provide you with the road map to the venue and might suggest some great eating joints too! He would provide you with the best value and service along with guaranteed tickets.
Try and avoid getting in contact with scalpers who hang around the theaters and sell forged and illegal tickets. They would offer you tickets at a huge price and for all you know, the seat numbers that they sell you might not even exist inside the theater. So deal only through a reputed ticket broker to get legitimate Philadelphia theater tickets.


As much as it might pain the rest of the Ryan Gosling-adoring world, Eva Mendes is the woman he has chosen to call his own, and the pair are so official that they have a brand new baby together. And to make it all the worse, Mendes looks flawless in a brand new photo shoot for beauty site Violet Grey, which includes an accompanying Q&A in which she divulges some rather saucy information.
"I thought my wild nights were over, but these are some of the wildest nights I've ever had," Mendes says of her new life as a mum and devoted partner. It's unclear what exactly she is referring to, so our Gosling-centric imaginations are running away with us, naturally.

Posted on March 22, 2018 March 22, 2018 in Uncategorized
The trial and error, DIY, experience-it-yourself, go-out-and-actually-have-a-look method of doing things is a naturally occurring speedbump that has been vastly eroded in recent years by the widespread availability of both written and visual information about everything and anything imaginable.
Those annoyingly ingenious features of the urban landscape designed to consistently infuriate us by impeding our flow are actually there for the benefit of everyone.
I've come to view rituals and other "time-consuming" activities as both breaks and brakes, intended to force us to slow down and alert us to our over eagerness to rush through life physically and mentally. The perceived inconvenience of any particular activity becomes its strength; an opportunity to take back what an efficiency addicted culture has robbed us of.
Nowadays even our rituals can be easily purchased, in an ironic twist of fate characteristic of a sick society (dis-ease = uneasy with itself and the rest of the world).
We no longer engage in anything of substance because it's quicker and easier to buy and display symbols. If I burn enough incense and place enough statues of Buddha around the house it'll be easier to achieve enlightenment. If I buy all the equipment and invest enough in accessories, then I won't have to do all the hard work. We are essentially trying to bribe our way around the speedbumps in order to get to our next destination as quickly as possible. If we try to drive at 100mph over the speedbumps the journey becomes uncomfortable, reinforcing the idea that they're something to be removed. But if we slow down, it not only gives us a chance to take things in that we normally miss, but the very experience of passing smoothly over the bump provides an insightful contrast to the rest of the journey.
This is why I believe that we need to bring back and promote the creation of rituals around the ideas and events that are most important to us as human beings and as individuals.
Despite growing up in an industrialised age, in the late 80's and 90's at school we celebrated harvest festival every year, where everyone brought food along to donate to charity. Our parents weren't peasant farmers subject to the whim of the seasons, yet we had a ritual celebrating abundance which included giving to those who were less fortunate.
In a society that is ruled by the metaphor "time is money", any activity or act that is not obviously and immediately related to productivity is considered a waste of time, and is often frowned upon. I think this is one subtle reason people end up trying to convert what they are passionate about into a money-making endeavour, because based on the rules of the system anything that turns a profit becomes legitimised, whereas doing things for fun is seen as childish and inconsequential. Meditation is only valid if it can be packaged and sold, and art is only worthwhile if it can be displayed in a gallery. In this way we can begin to understand how a single metaphor can shape our experience and in turn, our actions.
In this new age there is no art, only "content" ; an amorphous, easily consumable by-product of our industrial metaphors. There is no artist or human even, just a biological machine programmed to do its job and fulfil the needs of the hungry masses. But just as food is consumed mindlessly and without chewing or appreciation, so too is the steady feed of content, never wholesome or nourishing enough to satiate us. (Funnily enough, Soylent, the liquid food alternative for busy people doesn't require chewing either.)
So now we are at a crossroads, where either we put up a stop sign and some traffic lights, or we keep our foot down on the accelerator and hope that it doesn't take its toll.
While the speedbump imposes practical limitations on how quickly something can be achieved, the benefit doesn't come from making life increasingly inconvenient, but slowly arises from the realisation that by habitually rushing through every activity, including those that are supposed to be enjoyable, we fail to appreciate life because we are trying to make it happen sooner. Furthermore, when we live at peace with the present moment we dissolve the idea of "wasting time", because even if we spend effort attempting to reach a goal and we fail, by remaining present throughout the process we experience life to the fullest, which we gradually come to realise is more important than the results. This could be summed up as:
"the journey is more important than the destination".
If we think of the current status and trajectory of modern civilisation and its technology we could describe it as being efficiency and outcome-oriented i.e. "the results are more important than the process", and "the ends justify the means".
From this perspective, a mindful existence and lifestyle is not just at odds with the civilised environment, but is contrary to its guiding values and its core philosophy.
When you live by the metaphor "time is money", the abstract concept of time is conceived in terms of the tangible object, money. But money however, isn't worth the paper it's printed on, but is symbolic of the power of self-sustenance, based on all of the necessities and things that help form our self-image that we could purchase with it. This connection between the three concepts, time, money and self, helps explain the sense of deeply-felt urgency that accompanies life under the influence of such metaphors. Wasting time i.e doing nothing to sustain your self-image is equivalent to both actual and metaphorical suicide, as if the ticking of the clock indicated our life force draining as in a computer game.
As long as we identify with our jobs, careers, hobbies and appearance and so on, we will always be uneasy with stillness, with non-striving, and with minimalist lifestyles that require less doing and more being.

Notes on Ways of Seeing
This a response to the video Ways of Seeing by John Berger, which is itself inspired by the essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by philosopher Walter Benjamin.
Artwork – images and objects tied to place and general context. As a familiar smell, feeling or sound might signal and signify a particular context, (original) works are the signifiers of the context out of which they are born. Copies are also signifiers of their own context, but this is mostly hidden from view, as copies are often presented in the same light as originals – when an artwork is set up to be copied the context is omitted; we don't want to see the oil painting under bright lights in a studio, we just want to see the painting, or as much of it as possible, which means as little as possible evidence of context, as little as possible evidence that it is in fact a copy, and not an original itself.
This veiling of original context is aided by technology while simultaneously leaving its own footprint – typewriters, printing presses and computers all remove evidence of the hand of the creator. On the face of it, such copies could come from anywhere and from any time, because the word (or image) in its homogenised form bears no resemblance to the mark of the author, and instead displays evidence of the machine or technique that produced it. Instead of strictly referencing the author, any text published in the Times New Roman font also becomes a reference to Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent; the creators of that typeface.
As an artwork passes from original to copy status, the shift in context leaves its mark.
Graffiti on canvas, although it may be original, is really just an example of transplanting an idea into an alien context. The form has remained the same – it is still spray-painted letters in a particular style, but it is no longer tied to the immobile and illegal world of the outdoor, on-the-run artist. By severing the link between the context and the artwork, or as in this case, by attempting to graft the whole genre onto a new context, the origins and meaning are lost in translation.
Everything becomes bastardised in some way by experiencing it in your own preferred and habitual context, which is often at home and on your computer. This is domestication in brief: rounding up untamed elements and bringing them into the home for the pleasure of convenient experiences. The desire to make art that fits inside gallery walls, music studios and television channels, only serves to benefit those particular structures and the people hiding behind their favourite and most profitable contexts. Instead of a bio-diverse art community, we have work that is invested in and created simply to fit into the moulds that may accommodate them with open wallets. Instead of artists that produce work that is true to its own, and to their own specific context, we have work whose origins are hidden, whose would-be destiny is the featureless and naked gallery wall, the tv, cinema or computer screen. Artists are willingly giving up identity and context to the demands of technology and consumerism.
Each musical style is embedded not just in time but place as well, despite music being a non-physical medium. There is something uniquely bizarre about listening to hip hop at home in your bedroom when you live in Finland. This couldn't have happened without the physical act of mechanically copying music onto disks, and without the removal of a whole culture from its context. The role of technology in creating convenience in its many forms is at the heart of the worldwide spread of ideas, art and imagery. If everything had to be experienced in its rightful place; in its birthplace, then it would severely limit what would be shared, and by whom. In a sense, experience itself is the unshareable artwork: we can only gaze upon the aftermath through art-produce and its reproductions.
If you believe that everything can, and should be shared for reasons of equality, then you consequently endorse the continuation and spread of domestication, because to make everything equally available ultimately means to make it effortless and contextless, and thus meaningless. By turning Mount Everest into a guided tour, it stops becoming the feat it once was; it is de-feated. Accessibility for all, while on the surface appears like a noble ideal, is actually counterproductive, and seems to spring from the philosophy that all hard work should be replaced by convenience at our earliest convenience.
I experience other people's art as if I don't understand it, i.e. as alien and as incomprehensible as it really is. My reactions are mostly gut reactions and a projection of my own ideas: I cannot ultimately see the world without my own biases or perspective, and so instead of understanding we must satisfy ourselves with the feeling of having understood, or at the very least, the idea that we tried. The work exists as it is, but there is no perspective-less perspective from which to view it. Restoring context goes some way to remedying this problem, but cannot overcome it completely.
Misunderstanding is the basis for many a creation, and could be seen as a form of memetic mutation. By failing to re-create the original meaning or context we veer off in a new direction, using religious icons as placemats, and wartime propaganda as wall hangings.
Just as objects signify contexts, images themselves become symbols of particular ideas and associated, inferred contexts and characteristics. It is these implicit associations that advertising uses to hijack our experiences. Products themselves come to signify desirable contexts and experiences as they are consistently shown to us in unison, and certain colours, shapes or fonts come to signify brand markings.
If reproduction destroys original meaning and gives rise to multiple interpretations, then we could say that copying processes delete objectivity and replace it with infinite subjectivity. But if context is also time-specific, then by virtue of them being old, we can never experience the true meaning of an artwork, even if it hangs in its right place. It's not that reproduction in the mechanical sense destroys meaning, but it is reproduction from one mind to another where meaning is lost, irrespective of spacial and temporal context. Mechanical reproduction simply aided this realisation. This becomes immediately evident when you publicly display your work. No amount of showing it in the context of your studio, or wherever else you created it will help change the fact that the meaning people derive from the work is a product of the work itself and their own minds. Since there cannot be an experience without one or the other it becomes the destiny of any idea or artwork to be misunderstood, misinterpreted and remixed, both purposefully and accidentally.
Meaning, if any is present in an artwork, is only ever loosely attached, in the experiential sense – there is no universal, transmittable meaning (no universally convincing arguments).

Sales of High Heels Are Down, But Is Hollywood Giving Them Up?
Margot Robbie's heels at the BAFTA Nominees Party at Kensington Palace on February 17.
Sales of high heels dropped 12 percent last year, while sales of women's sneakers rose 37 percent to $2.3 billion.
A story in The Washington Post last week trumpeted the alluring headline "High Heels Are The Worst and Women Are Finally Ditching Them" and backed their claim with a plethora of facts, tying the trend into workplace casualization and the latest wave of feminism.
"Sales of high heels dropped 12 percent last year, while sales of women's sneakers rose 37 percent to $2.3 billion, according to the NPD Group's retail tracking service," says the Post piece, which points to the lace-up brogues and crystal-embellished ballet flats shown on the fall-winter 2018 Marc Jacobs runway as evidence of a shift, as well as Nike's new female-focused Unlaced limited-edition styles for lady sneakerheads.
Women are wearing style-savvy sneakers to work, dinner and beyond — but the trend has yet to cross over to the red carpet, save for some of young Hollywood.
Think 13-year-old Millie Bobby Brown pairing her pink sequin Calvin Klein dress with Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers at the SAG Awards in January and 23-year-old Haley Lu Richardson wearing high-top Chucks with her floral Zimmermann frock at the red carpet premiere of the Magnolia Pictures film "Support The Girls" (in which she stars) at the SXSW Festival in Austin on Friday.
another huge thank you to @calvinklein for another stunning dress! @rafsimons just knows my style too well. an incredible evening with incredible people!
While celeb stylist Jessica Paster says she mainly packed flats for Emily Blunt to wear at the premiere of "A Quiet Place" at SXSW (she and husband John Krasinski both star in the Paramount film that Krasinski directed), Blunt stepped out in heels on Friday. And the other stylists that THR asked to comment on the matter did not come up with any other noteworthy red carpet outings in sneakers or flats, save for Gal Gadot during her "Wonder Woman" press junket last May, which the Post also cited.
What they failed to mention is that Gadot's flat-and-fancy Aldo sandals at the premiere and the flats that she donned for the entire week, cheered on by social media, were in large part due to the fact that she was suffering from a back sprain. Gadot told USA Today, "Considering my back, I figured it wouldn't be a good idea. And also, I just wanted to be comfortable! It's the biggest premiere of my life." Gadot also admitted that she loves to wear high heels, albeit saying that she would like to make it a trend to do red carpet appearances in flats. But since then, she's seemed to lean toward super-heels for her red carpet runs.
What a fun party with @vanityfair ! Thank you @giorgioarmani @revlon and @tiffanyandco for making me feel beautiful last night .
As further evidence of the trend, the Post notes that First Lady Melania Trump swapped her stilettos for white sneakers on her Hurricane Harvey trip last August — not exactly an earth-shattering move given her position and considering that she was criticized for hanging on to her heels while en route to the plane.
As much as we might wish that the Post story is true — in the name of comfort and in light of the power moves women have been making lately in Hollywood as part of the Times's Up and #MeToo movements — the reality is that Hollywood doesn't seem ready to choose flats over heels on the red carpet any time soon. And, let's face it, a few extra inches of stiletto height can feel authoritative, too.
While Paster (whose Instagram handle happens to be @highheelprncess) ticks off new red carpet-worthy flats that she loves by Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik and Gianvito Rossi, she stocks her kit with $15 Blue Emu numbing cream with Lidocaine, a secret weapon to dull the pain of standing in heels for hours. Others stylists like Karla Welch (whose clients include Ruth Negga and Sarah Paulson) turn to cannabis cream for heel-induced pain relief. Whatever it takes.
More power to women, whatever height of heel they choose to wear. As Paster says: "If you want to wear a high heel because it makes you feel good, because it makes you feel hot, do it. But if you feel beautiful wearing a flat shoe, that makes you even more empowered, don't you think?"

Irma Goldberg (1871, Moscou, Imperi Rus - després de 1939, ?) fou una química orgànica russa, coneguda per la reacció de Goldberg i per la de Jourdan-Ullman-Goldberg.

Goldberg anà a la Universitat de Ginebra, Suïssa, per estudiar química durant la dècada de 1890. Allà s'integrà al grup de recerca del químic alemany Fritz Ullmann (1875-1939), amb el qual publicà diversos articles i patents i d'altres de forma independent entre 1897-1912. Ambdós es mudaren a Berlín per treballar a la Technische Hochschule el 1905.

Ullman fou pioner en la síntesi de compostos aromàtics substituïts. A principis del , el seu laboratori realitzà contribucions clau en la síntesi de bifenils substituïts a partir de la dimerització de iodurs aromàtics en presència de coure (acoblament d'Ullmann) i la síntesi d'èters de diaril mitjançant la combinació d'halurs d'aril amb diversos derivats del fenol, també en presència de coure (èter Ullmann síntesi). Un dels projectes de recerca de Goldberg fou estendre aquesta estratègia a la síntesi de compostos d'arilamina. Dugué a terme la investigació sobre les dues reaccions que duen el seu nom entre 1904 i 1908.

La reacció de Goldberg i la reacció de Jourdan-Ullman-Goldberg impliquen la formació d'un enllaç nitrogen-carboni a un halur aromàtic en presència de coure. En la primera reacció, el compost que conté nitrogen és una amida; mentre que a la segona, s'utilitza una amina. Goldberg i Ullman van obtenir diverses patents per a l'ús de catalitzadors de carbonat de potassi K2CO3 i coure en aquests processos. La reacció de Goldberg consisteix en la combinació d'una benzamida amb bromobencè en presència de carbonat de potassi i coure per obtenir una N-fenilbenzamida amb un rendiment del 56%.

D'altres investigacions de Goldberg inclouen mètodes per a la purificació de l'acetilè i estudis en el camp industrial dels colorants orgànics. Goldberg es casà amb Ullmann el 1910, i finalment tornaren a Ginebra el 1923 quan Ullmann retornà a la Universitat de Ginebra.

Which Football Clubs Could You Buy With The $1.5 Billion Powerball Jackpot?
Ivan Anich January 13, 2016
With the jackpot for the Powerball lottery rising to well over $1 billion, we got to thinking about all the fun things you could do with that moolah.
Get the best email in soccer.
Website Submission
Website Top Of Article Submission
In case you haven't heard, there's a frenzy going on in the United States and it's over the Powerball Lottery. The current jackpot for the lottery is an astonishing $1.5 billion with a cash value of $930 million, because, you know, taxes.
That's an absurd amount of money. So we got to thinking about what we could (and couldn't) do with it if we won, even though the chances of that happening are mind-bogglingly small (the Wall Street Journal did an excellent job of providing a visualization of your chances of winning — prepare to scroll, a lot). Namely, what clubs could we buy – and couldn't we buy – if we won the jackpot?
Lucky for us, Forbes regularly provides valuations for the most valuable clubs in the world. Their most recent list came out in May of 2015. Here are the 8 clubs that you couldn't buy, because they are too expensive.
Football Clubs You Could Not Buy With A $1.5 Billion Powerball Jackpot
Real Madrid - $3.26 billion
Barcelona - $3.16 billion
Manchester United - $3.1 billion
Bayern Munich - $2.35 billion
Manchester City - $1.38 billion
Chelsea - $1.37 billion
Arsenal - $1.31 billion
Liverpool - $982 million
And here's the other list...clubs you could actually buy. Just think, you could buy any one of these clubs if you won the Powerball lottery. We'll start this listing from #1 so that you can see Juventus is the most expensive club you could afford for $930 million. But there are some other great clubs on this list.
Football Clubs You Could Buy With A $1.5 Billion Powerball Jackpot
Juventus - $837 million
AC Milan - $775 million
Borussia Dortmund - $700 million
Paris Saint-Germain - $634 million
Tottenham Hotspur - $600 million
FC Schalke 04 - $572 million
Inter Milan - $439 million
Atletico de Madrid - $436 million
Napoli - $353 million
Newcastle United - $349 million
West Ham United - $309 million
Galatasaray - $294 million
If we can trust that Forbes has in fact listed the 20 most valuable clubs (a fair assumption considering Forbes' esteemed reputation in the realm of financial journalism), then we can assume that literally every other club in the world is cheaper than the ones listed. Not exactly Mensa stuff, but it does allow us to say that if we won the Powerball jackpot we could buy any other club in the world that isn't in the top 8 spots on the Forbes list. Fancy Swansea? They are yours. Want to take Villarreal for a spin? No problem. How about the Western Sydney Wanderers? You could probably have them and still have enough for several other clubs.
That's a lot of buying power, so let's have some fun with this. What are some clubs that are not that valuable, but stick out as being fun to own for other reasons?
You could buy…
FC Volga Ulyanovsk, formerly known as FC Start, and rename it FC End.
Both sides of the biggest rivalry in Mexico, Club America ($219.2 million) and Chivas de Guadelajara ($328.1 million). Why? We don't know, maybe in order change the competitive landscape of Liga MX and CONCACAF Champions League soccer forever and merge the two clubs into one gigantic powerhouse. Is that blasphemous? It sounds blasphemous.
New York City FC, in which Manchester City currently holds an 80% stake, and sell it to Manchester City's biggest rival, Manchester United. You know, for the LOLz.
Harpo's FC, a semi-pro club based in Boulder, Colorado. Now, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium is one of the most modern and expensive ($750 million) stadiums in the world. So with $930 million you could build Harpo's a state of the art stadium that's entirely too big for it (right now), and put on a match day that would make Queen singing "We Are the Champions" after you beat a traffic light look reasonable.
Sunderland AFC, who are currently 19th in the Premier League and in serious danger of relegation. According to transfer valuations just released by CIES, you would still have enough money left to mount the most gaudy transfer campaign in history by buying Lionel Messi ($272.15 million transfer valuation), Cristiano Ronaldo ($123.75 million), and Neymar Jr ($176.62 million) during the January transfer window. Considering a Premier League team has needed around 70 points to qualify for the Champions League over the past decade, your newly star-studded Sunderland squad could pull off the most unexpected second half campaign in league history if it won every single one of its remaining 18 games in order to qualify for the Champions League. A tall order, but we think Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar would be up for that challenge.
Honestly we could spend all day thinking of ridiculous s*** to do with $930 million, and we are sure you could too. So if you have any ideas for what you would do in the world of football with $930 million, let us know.
Follow me on Twitter: @yetly
Ivan Anich talktous@the18.com | the18com The only thing that is keeping Arsenal from rising to the level of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid is the very nature of humanity itself. That, and Stan Kroenke...more

Antonio Ericer (auch Antonín Vlach; Nachname auch Drican, Drizzan, Dryczan, Erichzahn, Errizzan, Erizzer, Tryczan; * und † im 16. Jahrhundert) war ein in Böhmen und Mähren wirkender Baumeister italienischer Abstammung.
Evtl. identisch mit Antonio Ricci aus Sala Capriasca, Tessin, Schweiz.

Leben
Die Lebensdaten von Antonio Ericer sind nicht bekannt. In manchen Quellen wird er auch als Antonín Vlach bezeichnet. Er stammte aus Italien und wurde vor allem als Baumeister der südböhmischen Adelsfamilien Rosenberg und Neuhaus bekannt, für die er im 3. Viertel des 16. Jahrhunderts arbeitete.

Erstmals nachgewiesen ist Antonio Ericer für das Jahr 1559 als Besitzer eines Hauses in Neuhaus (Jindřichův Hradec). Dort ist er auch für die Jahre 1564 und 1573 belegt, als er im Auftrag der Herren von Neuhaus mit Umbauarbeiten am Schloss Neuhaus beschäftigt war. Für sie errichtete er 1562 auch ein Haus auf der Prager Kleinseite. 1567–1572 baute er für den mährischen Landeshauptmann Zacharias von Neuhaus die Burg Teltsch (Telč) zu einem Renaissance-Schloss um.

Für Wilhelm von Rosenberg arbeitete er 1561–1564 am Schloss Krumau und 1563–1566 am Schloss Fraunberg (Hluboká). 1565–1575 baute er für ihn das Schloss Wittingau (Třeboň) im Stil der Renaissance um und erweiterte es um den südwestlichen Flügel, das Eingangstor und einen Turm.

Für das Jahr 1570 ist Antonio Ericer in Neubistritz belegt, wo er vermutlich die aus dem 13. Jahrhundert stammende Burg im Auftrag der Familie Kraiger von Kraigk zu einem Schloss umbaute. Für die Herren Trčka von Lípa arbeitete er in Světlá und Ledeč.

Der Hauptmann der Herrschaft Neuhaus, Šťastný Pušperský z Pleší, beklagte sich über Antonio Ericer, dieser sei unzuverlässig und selten auf seinen Baustellen anzutreffen. Letztmals erwähnt wurde er 1574. Zahlreiche von ihm begonnene Arbeiten wurden von seinem Landsmann Baldassare Maggi vollendet.

The changes in communication technology have made remote work easier and much better organized. It provides the companies with the opportunity to find their employees all over the world. At the same time, employees have more freedom and personal time without trading their productivity for it.
This has led to the creation of digital nomads that are able to travel the world and lead exciting personal lives without jeopardizing their careers and day-to-day tasks needed for work to operate smoothly.
Mobile devices are taking over as the channel used for advertising. They are very well suited to this goal because of the ease of use and all the personal data they usually contain about the users. This also means that all the companies need someone to develop the apps that would transfer their online marketing to the mobile devices.
It's an expanding market and one in which you can work from anywhere in the world and in your own time. However, it takes time and effort to train yourself in these skills. Luckily, there are a lot of online sources to help you out with it.
Most of the shopping these days happens online and that presents an opportunity for a small business owner. It's possible to set up an e-commerce shop without almost any infrastructure, as long as you have the resources to fund online alternatives to the traditional retail infrastructure.
The key to establishing a lucrative e-commerce business is to find a niche market that's small enough for you to dominate but still large enough to be able to generate income. This takes a lot of planning and careful market analysis.
Online trading is a great additional source of income. The best option for a digital nomad is to try their hands at foreign currency trading. It's different from trading in stocks because there's much less risk involved, since foreign currencies don't take a dive as unexpectedly as stocks tend to.
In order to make the most out of forex trading, you should try to learn about the economy of the countries whose currency you're trading in. However, there are online resources and brokers that can help a novice find their way in this business.
Finally, there is the option of getting some extra cash by testing websites online. Although it's not much, sites, such as UserTesting and UserFeel, offer around $10 for about 20 minutes of your time. All you need to do is register and fill out a form, which is then used to match you with a website that is compatible with your demographics. Generally, site owners are interested in feedback regarding their site's navigation, so you'll have to download a screen recorder for them to monitor your movements on their website. You'll also need a microphone to provide the said feedback in audio format and there's nothing more to it really. The only real requirements here are that you're fluent in English and that you have a keen eye for detail. You probably have all the rest, things like a stable internet connection, a browser, and a mic.
Running a YouTube channel has become a career that's more than suitable for paying the bills and even providing a nice livelihood. It's hard to know what kind of channel will become popular and generate enough income to support you, but the only way to find out is to try and create an audience for yourself.
If you're providing online content, there are ways to monetize that content by using it to sell ad space. This goes for all kinds of content and all kinds of channels of distribution, although not all of them are equally productive and equally lucrative.
The YouTube channels and podcasts are the best options for creating revenue this way because the market is already established, but has a lot of chance for growth. That means that you can start small and work within your niche and still make a living, but you can easily expand and find bigger patrons and advertisers to support your work.
Once you have an established audience, the traveling can actually help your business plans and make them more lucrative. Traveling vlogs can also attract a lot of viewers; all you need to do is to present your trip in an interesting and engaging way.
If you've got the knack for it, travel photography is one of the highest-paid types of photography to turn to (next to wedding photography, of course). People love seeing destinations they haven't had the opportunity to see live or get a fresh take on those places they'd already been to. You can start your photography blog and charge downloads, use Instagram for promotion or find parties interested in purchasing your pics. If you are staying longer in a particular city/town/village, see if there are any weddings/baby showers/other celebrations happening and offer your services.
The internet is a great place to learn and gain new skills. If you're a person that has these, as well as the ability to explain things in a clear and simple way, this can become a career. There are online platforms dedicated to online learning in particular, and there's also always YouTube which can be used in a similar way but with an ad system of its own.
There are no limits as to which skills can be taught, but at this point the most sought-after lectures are about the IT industry and coding in particular.
There are a lot of ways of making money online that don't affect your daily life at all. This approach to business allows you to travel and enjoy your freedom while sustaining a lucrative business.

Business in online require much skill and research and we always look for new Ideas and tips for doing that Efficiently.

THE SUMMER GAMES
WINNING SMILE, WINNING STROKE
JOHN HOWSE July 27 1992
WINNING SMILE, WINNING STROKE JOHN HOWSE July 27 1992
As the musical score from Dances With Wolves echoes through his northwest Calgary townhouse, Mark Tewksbury, wearing a polo shirt and jeans, sinks into a chesterfield like a common couch potato. "My biggest trouble," he confesses with what is increasingly becoming a trademark smile, "is to get unmotivated, to unwind." At 24, Tewksbury is a 13-time national backstroke swimming champion and a 1991 world silver medallist. His bare-chested pin-up image advertising Bugle Boy jeans is pasted on bus stops across Canada. He gives motivational speeches for the Investors Group and does TV advertisements for the Beef Information Centre. But the commercial and media circus is now on hold. For Tewksbury, the focus is on the wide outdoor pool in Barcelona where he will swim the 100-m backstroke—where the young man who has everything will seek the one sporting laurel he does not have: a solo Olympic medal.
Canada boasts other swimming hopefuls, including Guylaine Cloutier of Montmagny, Que., in the 100and 200-m breaststroke, Marianne Limpert of Fredericton in the 200-m individual medley, Marcel Gery of North York, Ont., in the 100-m butterfly and Gary Anderson of Brampton, Ont., in the 200-m individual medley. The men's 4 x 100-m medley relay team won silver at the 1988 Games and, with Tewksbury again swimming the first leg, should be a contender in Barcelona. But the greatest expectations surround Tewksbury's solo backstroke—and he does not underestimate the challenge. The six-foot, one-inch, 176-lb. swimmer is ranked fourth behind two Americans—world-record holder Jeff Rouse and David Berkoff—and France's Franck Schott. He must also contend with local favorite Martin Lopez-Zubero of Spain. "I am looking for my breakthrough," Tewksbury says.
His best official time is 55.19 seconds, set last August, and he acknowledges that, given the high level of competition, it will take at least a flat 54 seconds to win a medal at Barcelona—as low as 53 seconds for gold. But he expects to get faster. Tewksbury notes that a rule change IV2 years ago has allowed backstrokers a new rollover technique: they can shave time by touching the pool wall with their feet instead of their fingertips.
The much-travelled Calgarian has spent little time at home this year. He went to Phoenix, Ariz., for outdoor swimming and then spent 10 days at a high-altitude training camp at Los Alamos, the New Mexico community 7,300 feet above sea level where scientists developed the atomic bomb. In a sense, the Los Alamos pool is Canada's physiological weapon in the battle to produce faster times. "It is like natural blood doping," says Tewksbury of the highaltitude training. "It sends up my red blood cell count and hemoglobin. And I need that for highenergy performance." After four days off to swim and relax in Pasadena, Calif., at the end of June, he and the rest of the Canadian Olympic swim squad flew to a base camp at Canet-Plage, France, just three hours' drive from Barcelona.
Tewksbury will not be in the Olympic Village until a few days before his first event. "I can't get caught up in village life," he says. "In the Summer Olympics, there is so much going on it can kill you. It takes 20 minutes to walk to lunch. It is very different to the smaller Winter Olympics." Tewksbury, who placed fifth in the backstroke at the 1988 Olympics, curtailed media interviews and sponsorship work in the weeks leading up to the Barcelona Games. At the competition itself, however, he expects to revel in the hype. "I am a big-day racer," he says. And with Spain's own Lopez-Zubero in the race, "there is going to be a lot of noise from 10,000 fans, and I love it."
Tewksbury has been swimming since the age of 8, when his parents, Roger and Donna, took him to Calgary's Acadia Swimming Pool. The couple operate the Big Shot Photo camera shop in a southwest Calgary mall. The swimmer's brother, Scott, is a deejay who works a Caribbean cruise ship, and his sister, Colleen, is assistant manager of a Calgary drugstore. "We are close and we have family dinners when we can," says Tewksbury. "But lately, I am rarely home." A political-science student at the University of Calgary, Tewksbury moved away from home when he was 17 and recently bought a condominium, which he shares with two renters.
Girlfriends, he says, are a casualty of his intense training regimen. "I am so selfinvolved, selfish at this moment," he says, explaining that his last serious relationship ended in 1989. "At this level of sports, you have to take care of yourself first." His Olympic countdown days begin with team floor hockey at 6 a.m., followed by weightlifting and exercises, in addition to swimming 6,000 to ■ 8,000 m 10 times weekly. A self-confessed movie buff, Tewksbury sees three films a week. Modem art and career mementoes cover the walls of his condo—a piece of the Berlin Wall that a German competitor gave him, a swimming medal from a Russian. He even has a framed extract from Hansard—a transcript of an MP's speech in the House of Commons acknowledging his swimming feats.
Barcelona will likely be his last Olympics. "Twice is enough," he says with a laugh. "Remember, it is just a swim event. Life goes on." Life for Tewksbury—and his glossy image—would be a lot richer with an Olympic medal around his neck.

Gold closed higher on Friday and ended the week with a gain midst geopolitical turmoil and continued equity market weakness.
"Gold rose as much as 1 percent on Friday as the dollar fell after U.S. Federal Reserve officials made cautions comments that fed doubt about the outlook for interest rate hikes, while palladium hit a record high driven by worries about short supplies.
"Spot gold rose 0.7 percent to $1,221.38 an ounce by 2:47 p.m. ET. The session high was the highest since Nov. 8 at $1,225.29. Gold was on track to gain about 1 percent this week.
"Two Fed officials cautioned that global economic growth was slowing and the dollar fell to one-week lows against a basket of major currencies, making bullion cheaper for buyers using other currencies.
"'When you get people talking about the economy slowing down, they may not raise rates so quickly or as aggressively and that is bearish for the dollar,' said INTL FCStone analyst Edward Meir.
"Further support for gold came from weaker global stock markets and lower U.S. Treasury yields.
Gold ended the week up $11.70, closing at $1,221.10. Silver ended the week up $0.24, closing at $14.39.
The strength in the U.S. dollar is not sustainable and that's a positive for gold and silver.
"While all commodities are suffering under the boot heel of a surging U.S. dollar, one junior explorer CEO sees the potential for gold and silver to shine as the current environment is unsustainable.
"Monday, the U.S. dollar rose to its highest level in 16 months, while gold fell to a one-month low and is in striking distance of testing psychological support at $1,200 an ounce... the U.S. Dollar Index last traded at 97.51 points up 0.63% on the day.
"In an interview with Kitco News, Thomas Smeenk, CEO of Broadway Gold Mining (TSX.V: BRD), said that the government can continue its game of printing fiat money for a while still but at some point there is going to be a shock to the system and investors will turn to commodities as a safe-haven asset.
"'Deficit spending at some point is going to drive inflation higher and that will be reflected in commodity prices,' he said.
"'At some point, we have to get back to fundamentals,' he said.
"... Smeenk said that he sees copper prices struggling in the near-term as global economic worries weigh down demand. However, he added that this is the perfect environment for gold and silver.
"He added that he also sees silver eventually outperforming gold. The gold-silver ratio is above 85 points, hitting a new multi-decade high is also unstainable.
Billionaire does not recommend holding cash as it is the surest tax on your money.
"Amid headlines of turmoil in the stock market, heightened global trade tensions and political tumult, it may seem like the safest place to store your money is in a savings account.
"But actually, just holding your money in cash is a bad idea, according to billionaire hedge fund magnate Ray Dalio.
"Here's what he means: Over time, inflation causes the goods and services you buy every day to become more expensive relative to the value of the dollars in your wallet... And over the long term, inflation becomes increasingly powerful.
"Although you do earn interest on money deposited in a savings account at a bank, the amount is far too low to keep up with the negative impact of inflation, Dalio points out.
"Right now, the national average interest rate for a savings account is only 0.09 percent, according to data from Bankrate. Meanwhile, the Consumer Price Index - which measures inflation - rose 2.7 percent in the past year.
"Since keeping your money in a savings account is a guaranteed way to lose money, you have to turn your savings into investments, Dalio says. Then, your money is growing while you sleep.
Threat of rising inflation and shock to the financial markets can benefit gold.
"King dollar will rule over gold prices in the near-term, but the yellow metal will continue to be an important diversifier and safe-haven asset for investors in the long-term, according to one fund manager.
"In a telephone interview with Kitco News Maxwell Gold, director of investment strategy at Aberdeen Standard Investments, said that he sees gold as a strong buy on dips as volatility will continue to weigh on financial markets.
"Weaker oil prices, which declined for 12 straight trading sessions, dropping nearly 25% since hitting a four-year high in early October. Gold said that the drop in oil prices is lowering inflation expectations, which in turn is driving real interest rates higher, pushing the U.S. dollar and bond yields higher.
"However, he added that inflation is much more than just energy prices. He explained that wage pressures have increased, raising the risks of a surprise inflation shock to financial markets.
"Along with the threat of rising inflation, Gold said that the U.S. economy continues to move through the late-stage of its business cycle. He added that slowing economic growth next year will force the Federal Reserve to moderate its tightening path, which will take further steam away from the U.S. dollar.
"'There are a lot of headwinds facing gold in the near-term but I still think investors are starting to see tangible risks in the marketplace and are slowly buying gold these dips," he said.
"While Gold is optimistic on the yellow metal through the medium to long-term, he also sees potential for silver to eventually regain its luster.
Signs point to 2019 as the year for gold bulls.
"Are greater risks stacking up for investors in 2019?
"In Europe, where Italy is locking horns with the EU and a Brexit deal hangs in the balance, mega-economy Germany has just produced the worst growth in nearly six years. Even if Wall Street can successfully shake off noise from the Old Country, a fresh threat from falling oil prices, along with worries over trade and a Fed misstep may cast long shadows.
"'Equities appear to be in no-man's-land,' says Sean Darby, Jefferies' chief global equity strategist, who writes that Jerome Powell and co.'s intentions is the big thing keeping his clients up at night.
"And they aren't far off with those worries, according to our call of the day, which predicts 2019 will be a doozy for investors and advises they seek shelter in a much-neglected, glittering port.
"He predicts a 'capital preservation trade' will grip the world in 2019, reviving currency wars, which will boost gold's safe-haven allure. And the trigger for all this will be a rise in U.S. unemployment and the realization by markets that the Fed has made a policy mistake by going too far with interest-rate hikes, which Weston says could hit in the second quarter of 2019.
"Weston notes how the central bank...won't be able to ignore a cloud over the eternal sunshine of the U.S. labor market.
Wells Fargo's head of real asset strategy is bullish on gold due to the stock market cycle and the high dollar.
"With gold trading around one-month lows, the Wells Fargo Investment Institute is getting bullish.
"John LaForge, the firm's head of real asset strategy, sees gold regaining its luster and delivering profits for investors.
"LaForge's bullish case is built on more than just the stock market cycle. The U.S. dollar index, which hit 52-week highs this week, is also a key element of his refreshed forecast.
"'The dollar is a little too high. It has to back off,' he said. Typically, gold and the greenback move in opposite directions. So, as the dollar softens, it should provide a positive catalyst for the yellow metal.
"... LaForge... predicts $1,300 an ounce within the next 12 months, an 8 percent gain from current levels.
"'$1,200 [an ounce currently] is not so bad when you look around at all these different assets prices getting crushed,' he said.
"'We're still working off all the excesses from when gold was at $1,900,' LaForge said. 'When that happens, when you have excess supply like we do in the system, your bounces just don't become as meaningful.'" ("Wells Fargo turns positive on gold, here's how the firm sees it going," Stephanie Landsman, CNBC, 11/14/18.
Dollar weakness continues to be a positive for gold.
"Gold prices edged higher on Thursday as the dollar weakened against the pound and euro after the British cabinet approved the prime minister's draft Brexit plan.
"Spot gold was up 0.31 percent at $1,214.58... 'There's going to be a bid for gold provided the dollar continues to slide,' said Stephen Innes, APAC trading head at OANDA in Singapore.
"The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, traded at 96.84, off a 16-month high hit on Monday. 'We could see further slide in the dollar since we didn't get any follow-through on the bullish consumer price index effect,' Innes added.
"U.S. consumer prices increased by the most in nine months in October amid gains in the cost of gasoline and rents, pointing to steadily rising inflation that likely will keep the Federal Reserve on track to raise interest rates again next month.
"Meanwhile, Asian stocks rose on Thursday, supported by a bounce in Chinese shares on news that Beijing has delivered a written response to U.S. trade demands, raising hopes the two sides could resume negotiations to end their trade war.

Kotterhof ist ein Wohnplatz in der Gemeinde Kürten im Rheinisch-Bergischen Kreis.

Lage und Beschreibung
Der Ort liegt im Nordosten von Olpe, mit dem es mittlerweile einen geschlossenen Siedlungsbereich bildet und somit nicht mehr eigenständig wahrgenommen wird.

Geschichte
Die Topographia Ducatus Montani des Erich Philipp Ploennies aus dem Jahre 1715, Blatt Amt Steinbach, belegt, dass der Ort bereits 1715 als Freyhof bestand und als Kotterhof bezeichnet wurde. Aus der Charte des Herzogthums Berg 1789 von Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking geht hervor, dass Kotterhof zu dieser Zeit Teil der Honschaft Olpe im Kirchspiel Kürten im Landgericht Kürten war. Er benennt den Ort als Katerhof.

Unter der französischen Verwaltung zwischen 1806 und 1813 wurde das Amt Steinbach aufgelöst und Kotterhof wurde politisch der Mairie Olpe im Kanton Wipperfürth  im Arrondissement Elberfeld zugeordnet. 1816 wandelten die Preußen die Mairie zur Bürgermeisterei Olpe im Kreis Wipperfürth.
Kotterhof gehörte zu dieser Zeit zur Gemeinde Olpe.

Der Ort ist auf der Topographischen Aufnahme der Rheinlande von 1824 als Kotterhof und auf der Preußischen Uraufnahme von 1840 als Kottenhof verzeichnet.
Ab der Preußischen Neuaufnahme von 1892 ist er auf Messtischblättern regelmäßig als Kotterhof verzeichnet.

1822 lebten 34 Menschen im als Hof kategorisierten und Kotterhof bezeichneten Ort.
1830 hatte der Ort 38 Einwohner.
Der 1845 laut der Uebersicht des Regierungs-Bezirks Cöln als Hof kategorisierte Ort besaß zu dieser Zeit fünf Wohnhäuser. Zu dieser Zeit lebten 42 Einwohner im Ort, davon alle katholischen Bekenntnisses.
Im Gemeindelexikon für die Provinz Rheinland von 1888 werden sechs Wohnhäuser mit 33 Einwohnern angegeben.
1895 hatte der Ort sechs Wohnhäuser und 35 Einwohner.
1905 besaß der Ort sechs Wohnhäuser und 39 Einwohner und gehörte konfessionell zum katholischen Kirchspiel Olpe.

1927 wurden die Bürgermeisterei Olpe in das Amt Olpe überführt. In der Weimarer Republik wurden 1929 die Ämter Kürten mit den Gemeinden Kürten und Bechen und Olpe mit den Gemeinden Olpe und Wipperfeld zum Amt Kürten zusammengelegt. Der Kreis Wipperfürth ging am 1. Oktober 1932 in den Rheinisch-Bergischen Kreis mit Sitz in Bergisch Gladbach auf.

1975 entstand aufgrund des Köln-Gesetzes die heutige Gemeinde Kürten, zu der neben den Ämtern Kürten, Bechen und Olpe ein Teilgebiet der Stadt Bensberg mit Dürscheid und den umliegenden Gebieten kam.

The gorgeous Balearic Islands are found just off the eastern coast of the Iberian peninsula. With an exquisite Mediterranean climate, these islands are the perfect destination for beach-lovers, and especially if you are just looking to have a quick weekend in Spain, or should we say, paradise. The island of Formentera is slightly smaller than the other islands, but no less extraordinary and is characterised by magnificent translucent waters, gorgeous stretches of beaches and framed by magnificent landscapes.

Situated right in Palma's Portixol harbour, just 300 m from Portixol beach, with Palma's airport a ten-minute drive away and the city centre a five minute drive – you will be right in the heart of the island.

SELECT t1.Ano,t1.Mês,CAST(t1.horas AS float) / CAST(t2.total_horas AS float)

Como total_horas tem que ser int para poder executar a divisão
substitua
concat(cast(sum(f.C06) as varchar(100)),' ','H')  total_horas

por
sum(f.C06) as total_horas
e se vc quer o concat o add no select:
SELECT t1.Ano,t1.Mês,concat(cast(t2.total_horas as varchar(100)),' ','H')  total_horas,CAST(t1.horas AS float) / CAST(t2.total_horas AS float)
