Important Admissions Policies
Deferral of an Admissions Decision
VUIM allows admitted students to defer their enrollment one time, for up to one year. Admitted students must pay their tuition deposit at the time of deferral to secure their seat in the future class term. If an admitted student does not enroll at the time chosen, their file will be discarded and they will be required to re-apply at a later date.
Administrative Withdrawal of an Application
Prospective student applicants who do not complete the admissions process for their intended start term or who are accepted but do not notify the office of admissions that they intend to defer their offer of admission will have their application administratively withdrawn. Prospective students in this situation are encouraged to contact the office of admissions at anytime to inquire about the status of their past application and to determine the steps required to re-apply.
Admissions Records Retention
All records, including academic records from other institutions, submitted to Virginia University of Integrative Medicine become part of the applicants official record and will neither be returned nor duplicated for any purpose. It is recommended that individuals retain an additional copy of their official credentials to keep in their possession for all other personal requirements.
All admissions documentation and the application data of individuals who enroll will be retained onsite in-coordination with the time frame defined in the institutional records management and retention schedule. At that time, the admissions documentation and application data may be stored offsite for a maximum of three additional years and then destroyed. In the following cases, all admission documentation and applicant data will be retained for 12 months, and then destroyed:
1) Applicants who do not register for courses at the time for which they have been admitted
2) Applicants whose applications have been denied
3) Applicants who do not respond to the Office of Graduate Admissions' requests for additional information, or are incomplete at the start of a term
4) Applicants who defer and do not start class on the selected deferral date
Candidates for admission may be admitted conditionally. Conditional admission is a temporary status given to candidates who have not met one (or more) of the admissions requirements fully. Conditional admission requires a student to meet their "condition" of admission no later than the end of the first term that they are enrolled.
Students who do not meet the condition of admission by the deadline will be withdrawn and are required to re-apply in the future. *In rare situations, a student can be granted additional time to complete their condition of admission. Additional time can be granted by the Dean of Enrollment Management when extenuating circumstance exist.
Right to Rescind Admission
VUIM reserves the right to rescind admission or enrollment in exceptional circumstances, whether occurring during the time of application review, or after the admissions decision has been made, if the University finds that:
1) Academic performance (utilized in the admissions decision) has declined since application;
2) An applicant misrepresented or falsified information in their application;
3) Behavioral issues or disciplinary incidents put in question the suitability of the applicant for the program;
4) or Conditions of acceptance outlined in the conditional/provisional acceptance letter were not met, or not met by the deadline.
Re-applying
Prospective students who have applied and not started a program; were admitted and did not start the program nor defer their acceptance; and students who have withdrawn from a program and VUIM graduates are all considered re-applicants.
Re-applicants are not guaranteed admission to any program at VUIM, regardless of previous admission. Individuals who are interested in re-applying are required to meet all current standards of admission, which includes but is not limited to any update in academic criteria, pre-requisites, completing a new application, ordering official transcripts, paying the application fee and uploading any required supplemental materials, etc.. In addition, the individual re-applicant must be in good academic and financial standing with the institution to be considered. In some cases, VUIM will have retained official transcripts, in accordance with the admissions records retention policy. If you have questions about our retention of your official transcripts please inquire with an admissions staff member.
Graduates of VUIM academic programs will have future application fees waived.
Individuals who have been dismissed from the institution for failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress standards must wait 1 full year from their dismissal to re-apply.
Individuals who have been dismissed from the institution for behavioral reasons, including but not limited to violations of academic integrity and code of conduct are generally ineligible to re-apply. In very rare cases, the University may allow an individual who has been dismissed for behavioral reasons to re-apply. A written letter explaining why the individual in question should be considered is required.
Please contact us at [email protected] with your inquiries.
Please expect a reply within 48 business hour of your request.

From Heidegger to Gaza
https://bencohen.pundicity.com/15082/from-heidegger-to-gaza
Is there a connection between academic quarrels over the legacy of Martin Heidegger, one of the most influential German philosophers of the twentieth century, and the current conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip?
However spurious or bizarre that question may seem at first glance, an article by Michael Marder in the New York Times suggests that such a link does indeed exist. The source of what Marder describes as the "menacing chill forming around the work of Heidegger" also stalks attempts by philosophers, who work in an atmosphere of "ideological censorship," to expose the nefarious nature of Zionism.
What's involved here is a complicated story. Nonetheless, it is one that needs to be understood, if only because it illustrates the growing dominance of anti-Zionist opinion in academic and media discourse. Centrally, what it shows is that, to an ever greater extent, anti-Zionism in the academy isn't so much a stance that one adopts in relation to the conflict between the Palestinians and Israel as it is a philosophical system for interpreting the persistence of conflict in the world in general.
With that in mind, we can better grasp what Marder is driving at in the claims he makes about Heidegger and his legacy. If there is one detail of Heidegger's biography that is widely known, it's that he joined the Nazi Party in 1933, at the peak of his career, and remained a member until the defeat of the Nazi regime. As far as Marder is concerned, that bald fact is an irritant, since it's clear to him that there "is a profound disconnect between Heidegger's anti-Semitic prejudice and his philosophy." In other words, if you want to properly appreciate Heidegger's oeuvre, it's imperative to regard his Nazi affiliations as, to borrow the infamous words of the French fascist leader Jean-Marie Le Pen about the Nazi gas chambers, a "minor detail" in the history of the Second World War.
In discussing Heidegger's "detractors, who are determined to smear the entirety of his thought and work with the double charge of Nazism and anti-Semitism," Marder mentions only one–the French scholar Emmanuel Faye–for his temerity in suggesting that Heidegger's key philosophical concept of Dasein ("Being-in-the-World") should be reexamined in light of the philosopher's anti-Semitism. Significantly, Marder does not refer his readers to Berel Lang, the American philosopher who authored a highly regarded book on Heidegger and the Jews. In that book, Lang asserted that "Heidegger's silence" on the Jewish question before and after the Holocaust was a telling illustration of the "limits" on the thought of a man who, "more than any other twentieth century philosopher, attempted to break through the very notion of the limits of thinking."
However, following this route into Heidegger's writings is something of an inconvenience for Marder. It gets in the way of his insistence that the "smear" of anti-Semitism is a deliberate attempt to mask the value of Heidegger's output, motivated by the same parochical Jewish imperatives that get in the way of a proper appraisal of Zionism.
Here is where the Gaza conflict comes in. Readers of the Times may well have been puzzled by Marder's claim that "opposition to Zionism and the thinking inspired by Heidegger" are united insofar as both incur the unscrupulous charge of anti-Semitism. In part at least, that's the fault of the Times' editors, who didn't think it necessary to advise their readers that Marder's position on the Palestinian issue is what informs his approach to Heidegger.
Look a little more closely, and you will find that Marder is also the author of several opeds for Al Jazeera, with such titles as "Why settlements will lead to a one-state solution" and "Here is why deconstructing Zionism is important." In the latter piece, he argues that "deconstructing Zionism is not just a critique; it is an exercise in unravelling its philosophical suppositions." For Marder, the wider problem is that the false assumptions imposed by Zionist ideology–whether the subject is Heidegger or Israeli policy–block proper philosophical inquiry.
Where, though, is Marder leading us? He'd like us to think, as he says in his "deconstructing" piece, that he's motivated by "intense concern for the Jewish Israelis, who are set on a path of self-destruction." But before we take him at his word, let's recall that he edited a book entitled Deconstructing Zionism with the Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo. Yesterday, Vattimo told the Italian network Radio 24 that Israel is "a bit worse than the Nazis," and that, for good measure, he'd like to "shoot those bastard Zionists."
In the current climate, it would be unwise to assume that Vattimo's "bastard Zionists" are located only in Israel. What about those thousands of Jews in Europe who vocally identify with Israel, and who have been targeted by mobs in Paris, London, and Berlin? What about those scholars who "smear" Heidegger as an anti-Semite much as they do those self-regardingly courageous academics who, in the name of the Palestinians, speak "truth to power?" Are they among the "bastards?"
I can't say for sure how Michael Marder would answer those questions. But if he wants to be consistent, he will need to tell us that just as Heidegger's Nazi Party membership was an irrelevance, so is Vattimo's shrill exhortation to grab a gun in defense of Hamas. The New York Times, doubtless, will readily offer him the space to do just that.

To bring about visible change, "people need to be able to own the process of educational reform," - Zafar Qadir, the Founding Chairman of Taaleem Foundation.
Taaleem Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental community support organization, registered in Balochistan (Pakistan) since 1993. During the years, Taaleem Foundation has established eight (8) schools in tribal and remotest areas of Balochistan which includes: Kohlu, Loralai, Killa Saifullah, Muslim Bagh, Zhob, Pishin, Mastung and Sui (Dera Bugti). Taaleem Foundation has also established a training center to cater vocational training and higher education in Sui to promote economic empowerment among females.
Quality schooling, modern curriculum, co-education and all-female faculty are few of the success factors of this schooling system.
Taaleem Foundation strives to educate a social change through quality education in the under privileged areas of Pakistan, especially Balochistan. It promotes educational and research activities by establishing high quality schools and learning centers; and encouraging female participation in mainstream education in the tribal areas. Gender awareness, participatory & consultative culture, public-private partnership and self-sustenance are the hallmarks of this organization.
Taaleem Foundation's Grammar School System, an initiative in mainstream education, has stirred the tribal society as an activist institutional local change agent for engineering social change, creatively. It has mobilized the concerned communities for collective thinking, with a view to achieve a self-supportive, self-contained and self-reliant growth model for integrated community development. The model has stood the test of time in the communities served by the Taaleem Foundation.
The school management bodies - called 'School Syndicate', independently manage the school affairs, in accordance with the policy guidelines provided by Taaleem Foundation's Board of Directors. The schools are mainly financed through tuition payments, charitable contributions and endowment revenue; and receive little, if any, government funding.
The passion and the positive energy flow from all tiers of management, has helped the active role players to push the people towards a sustainable lifestyle. Over a thousand students of our school system are pursuing higher studies in the fields of business management, arts, medical sciences, engineering, agriculture and teaching, through TF's Sponsorship Program and on self- finance basis. TF has successfully sowed the seeds in order to grow a futuristic vision, which has instilled values such as tolerance, patience and most importantly made the society open to social change.
In all these efforts, the core feature, which has helped in achieving the above-mentioned goals, has been community participation. TF is a unique model of an ideal private-public partnership. The presence of TF has helped in fostering better relationships between the community and the incumbent local administration.
Today TF observes an increase of self-reliance awareness in the community, which has created qualities of initiating a good cause and driving it to success later on. Taaleem Foundation in collaboration with the community and the government has been able to achieve marvelous results. The organization is generating its own revenues and successfully pays for its operational costs.

Fernando Alonso will drive for Toyota in this year's Le Mans 24-hour race and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)
Fernando Alonso Will Drive For Toyota In This Year's Le Mans 24 - Hour Race And The Fia World Endurance Championship (wec)
Fernando Alonso will drive for Toyota in this year's Le Mans 24-hour race and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), his McLaren Formula One team said on Tuesday. The Spanish double F1 world champion has been considering taking part in endurance events as he bids to emulate Graham Hill, the late Briton who won the Formula One world title, Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans in the 1960s. "I've never been shy about my aim of winning motorsport's Triple Crown — the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indy 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
We tried for Indy last year, came close, but just missed out," Alonso said in a statement. "This year, I have the chance thanks to McLaren to race for the win at Le Mans. It is a big challenge — much can go wrong — but I am ready, prepared and looking forward to the fight." Following his appearance in the 24 Hours of Daytona last week, a deal has been reached with Toyota for the 36-year-old Alonso to take part in as many WEC rounds as possible. McLaren and Alonso have agreed, however, that Formula 1 remains their shared priority and he will miss the Japanese leg of the WEC season on Oct. 21 due to it clashing with the U.S. Formula One Grand Prix.

Meet Bo: The Unofficial Ambassador of Los Angeles Cycling
John WachunasCommunity August 4, 2017
At first glance, induction into the world of Los Angeles cycling might seem like baptism by fire. 4 million motorists all jockeying for position on traffic-clogged roadways is enough to make even the most seasoned road riders shudder with Orwellian dread.
Fortunately for us, however, there's Bo Mopera. The long-time cyclist and Angelino has set out not only to break the misconceptions of what it means to bike in LA, but to bring more riders into the fold as well.
"I've been in LA since the late 80's," Bo says, recalling his early days at UCLA. "The city certainly is accessible by bike: the weather is mild and the streets are on a grid system so getting lost is difficult." Then he adds, "but you still have be comfortable mixing it up with cars."
It's this emphasis on comfortability that motivated Bo to begin volunteering his time at Bikerowave, a cycling cooperative in Mar Vista. The community-oriented shop focuses on equipping cyclists with the education and tools they need to service their bikes and ride them confidently around Los Angeles.
Make the Most of your Los Angeles Cycling Experience:
Take a Ride with Bo
"I've always maintained and repaired my own bikes since my bmx days in the late 70s," says Bo. "Even with YouTube as a guide, repairing bikes is not always as simple as the video shows. And many people want to learn."
But his commitment to spreading the joy of Los Angeles cycling doesn't stop there. Since 2013, Bo has been sharing his own personal fleet of bikes with travelers via the Spinlister platform, taking the time to get to know each rider's needs before sharing insight on where to go and what to see.
"For roadies that like to train hard, I point them to the canyon roads that cross the Santa Monica Mountains," he says. "For mountain bikers, I give them names of the trails I ride in the San Gabriels and Santa Susanas. I always ask their level of fitness to determine if they should be riding the steeper roads. Sometimes it's just best to stay along the coast where the views are nice and the the roads flat."
So reliable have some of his renters become, in fact, that Bo has gotten to know their personal stories and what excites them about cycling. There's Caroline, for example, who loves riding vintage road bikes when she's in town from Barcelona to see her brother. Kustaa, on the other hand, prefers a geared bike in LA even though she rides a fixie back home in Finland.
"Everyone has a unique story," he says. "But it's the love of cycling that brings us together."
No matter where you're from or what skill level you've achieved, it's hard to think of a better introduction to the LA cycling scene than that.

12/+5 vs 18/+3 I'll go with the bigger base damage.
Priest 6, then more Strength, Dex, Int and 5 more SP. As a note, Art is now at the highest level she's ever been, exceeding the endgames of E1 and E2.
Sass maxes out his strength, and gets Mage 4/Priest 4 in the process.
Bronwyn maxes out her Strength and Dexterity. Next will be her Edged Weapons, her Defense, Assassination and Luck.
More Intelligence, Priest 6, More Spell points and a point in Mage Lore. Why? ~reasons~.
Ni'aurrl gets more Intelligence, and higher Mage and Priest Spells, then tosses a random point into Spell Points.
More Spell Points, more Mage Spells and more Priest Spells. Nothing spectacular here.
So, while this quest is active, you can't go back to the Tower of the Magi. Which meant that I had to run to Krizsan to dump off my extra loot.
I'm high enough level that the only enemies that are willing to fight me are the fixed encounters.
Hrm, Mage 7, and 195 Spell Points. Eh, what's the worst he could do?
Fair enough. It's not like I'm getting massive mileage out of Kill myself.
Finally cast Scry on one of these guys.
What happened here was that Ni'aurrl cast Firestorm at the lower explosion point, killing the captain, and hoping to harm some of the enemies inside the baracks. However, the explosion didn't go through the window, and the closed door prevented the Archer from taking any damage at all.
Next step up from Champions. Dervishes are the end of this particular combat line.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who reads "DILUTE! DILUTE!" in Dalek?
Waterfalls are far less common in Exile 3, if only because navigable bodies of water are far less common. Anyways, going over a waterfall in a boat can cause loss of food. Which doesn't really matter to us.
And I love how AoE can affect tiles you can't see. Assuming there's line of sight to the epicentre of the effect!
Can someone tell me why, in a dungeon full of enemies, that the game would still, seriously, note that some items are "Not Yours" and that stealing them is bad?
I just wanted to point out that there are two enemies in this screenshot. They're just on the beds, so the game has them drawn as sleeping. Which makes it hilarious where they appear in full arms and armor in a moment.
And a rare double level-up!
A fixed bar of Uranium. I wonder if the case is lead lined?
Art said don't open it!
"I have to agree. But we have what we came for, we can leave now. Assuming we have an idea?

Biografia
Proviene da una famiglia ebraico-ashkenazita dedita al mercato bibliografico antiquario, originaria della città tedesca di Dresda ma successivamente trasferitasi negli Stati Uniti. Si è laureato discutendo una tesi sui Templari. Si è interessato di studi storici e di speleologia, arte e viaggi. Date le origini toscane di un ramo della sua famiglia, ha vissuto per lunghi periodi a Firenze, ma si è in seguito trasferito a Boston. Attualmente vive a Chicago, città dove svolge anche la sua attività di scrittore.

Opere

Nel 1986 Nathan Gelb ha pubblicato in lingua inglese un volume sui Templari (Templar's secret weapon, edito da H.U.Press).

Nel 2006 ha pubblicato in lingua italiana un romanzo storico di genere noir (Il quadro dei delitti, edito dalla Sperling & Kupfer), ambientato alla metà del Settecento e di cui è protagonista l'achimista e studioso Raimondo di Sangro Principe di Sansevero, chiamato da papa Benedetto XIV ad indagare su una catena di delitti avvenuti in Francia e legati al mondo dell'alchimia. I recensori hanno valutato positivamente la sorprendente padronanza della lingua italiana da parte di un autore statunitense. Il quadro dei delitti è stato tradotto in lingua olandese e pubblicato con il titolo De prins van Sansevero dall'editore Luitingh nei Paesi Bassi, in Belgio, in Lussemburgo e in Danimarca.

Nel 2008 è stato pubblicato, ancora in lingua italiana, un secondo romanzo con il medesimo protagonista (Delitti sotto la cenere, edito ancora dalla Sperling & Kupfer), ambientato a Napoli nel 1756: questa volta il principe di Sansevero indaga sui cadaveri di un uomo e di una donna scoperti nel tempio massonico celato all'interno del suo palazzo, luogo legato ad un episodio del lontano 1590, quando Gesualdo da Venosa vi trucidò la moglie ed il suo amante.

Nei due romanzi l'autore sfrutta le sue conoscenze storiche per ricostruire l'immagine del Settecento con accurate ambientazioni, proponendo interpretazioni di alcune vicende e delineando il profilo psicologico dei personaggi. La scrittura è stata considerata chiara e rigorosa e il racconto ha uno svolgimento plausibile e si svolge con un taglio quasi cinematografico. Giudizi critici positivi sono stati espressi su Il quadro dei delitti e su Delitti sotto la cenere Alcuni critici hanno sottolineato il tentativo condotto da Nathan Gelb di ribaltare la leggendaria immagine negativa del principe di San Severo.

(C) the securities offered are investment grade rated or are securities in the same series that have equal rights and obligations as investment grade rated securities.
(2) (A) A qualified independent underwriter has participated in the preparation of the registration statement and the prospectus, offering circular, or similar document and has exercised the usual standards of "due diligence" in respect thereto; and

(2) Any member offering its securities pursuant to this Rule shall immediately notify FINRA when the public offering has been terminated and settlement effected and shall file with FINRA a computation of its net capital computed pursuant to the provisions of SEA Rule 15c3-1 (the net capital rule) as of the settlement date. If at such time its net capital ratio as so computed is more than 10:1 or, net capital fails to equal 120 percent of the minimum dollar amount required by Rule 15c3-1 or, in the event the member calculates its net capital requirement using the alternative standard (set forth in Rule 15c3-1(a)(1)(ii)), its net capital is less than seven percent of aggregate debit items as computed in accordance with Rule 15c3-3a, all monies received from sales of securities of the public offering must be returned in full to the purchasers thereof and the offering withdrawn, unless the member has obtained from the SEC a specific exemption from the net capital rule. Proceeds from the sales of securities in the public offering may be taken into consideration in computing net capital ratio for purposes of this paragraph.
(3) Any member offering its securities pursuant to this Rule shall disclose in the registration statement, offering circular or similar document a date by which the offering is reasonably expected to be completed and the terms upon which the proceeds will be released from the escrow account described in paragraph (b)(1).
(c) Discretionary Accounts
Notwithstanding Rule 3260, no member that has a conflict of interest may sell to a discretionary account any security with respect to which the conflict exists, unless the member has received specific written approval of the transaction from the account holder and retains documentation of the approval in its records.

Team of the Half Century: Michael Gordon
Fri 18 Nov 2016, 11:13 AM
One of the most consistent performers in his time at the Cronulla Sharks, Michael Gordon has received a nomination as our Fullback in the Team of the Half Century.
The fullback from the Far North Coast of New South Wales arrived at the Club from the Penrith Panthers after seven seasons at the foot of the mountains.
Gordon debuted for the Club in Round 1 of the 2013 NRL Season against the Gold Coast Titans at Remondis Stadium, where he kicked two goals in the 12-0 victory.
A week later, Gordon would score his first try for the Sharks when we met the South Sydney Rabbitohs at ANZ Stadium.
From here, Gordon went on to amass a total of 400 points during his time at the Cronulla Sharks and becoming the Club's strike goal kicker during that time.
The highlight of Gordon's career at the Sharks though came in both 2013 and 2014 where he was crowned Monty Porter Medallist at the end of both seasons.
After being a key part of the Sharks push into the 2015 NRL Finals Series, Gordon signed with the Parramatta Eels for the 2016 season.
Congratulations Mick on the nomination.


With injuries having put Team Honda HRC riders Cole Seely and Ken Roczen out for the remainder of the AMA Supercross series, GEICO Honda racer Christian Craig filled in aboard a factory CRF450R as the squad's sole rider for round nine in Atlanta. It was an outstanding night for Craig, as he notched his career-best 450SX result with a fifth-overall score via an impressive 6-7-5 race tally. When the gate dropped for the first of three 450SX main events, Craig grabbed the holeshot and early lead. With four minutes remaining, Craig came under heavy pressure and had to give up multiple spots, and he ultimately took the checkered flag in sixth. In the second race, Craig managed a sixth-place start, then slipped to seventh at the halfway mark and stayed there to the finish. The evening's final race proved to be another exciting one, as Craig launched to his second holeshot of the night and rode up front like a class veteran until lap four, when he was overtaken. He relinquished three more positions by the end, crossing the finish line in fifth.
During the daytime qualifying practice period, Christian Craig struggled to get comfortable with the Georgia clay, posting the ninth-fastest time of 53.238", in the second session. Smartop MotoConcept's Justin Brayton was the top Red Rider, turning in the fifth-quickest time of 52.625".
The top-finishing Red Rider in Atlanta was Brayton, who scored an impressive win in race one and then followed that with sixth-place results in the second and third races for fourth overall. "I had my wife and two kids here, and this is the only race they're coming to all year, so that was extra-special," Brayton said. "I know it's not an overall win, but I'll take it." Brayton has been riding well all year and is currently fourth in points.
This coming weekend, Team Honda HRC will be back in Florida for the 45th annual Daytona Supercross. On Friday, Roczen, fill-in Christian Craig, and the GEICO Honda 250 effort will take part in press day before heading to RC Hill Honda Powersports in DeLand for a pre-race party and autograph session.

Q: Oracle - Cannot set inmemory_size? I am having problem with changing the parameter INMEMORY_SIZE in oracle database. I used the below script to set this parameter:
ALTER SYSTEM SET inmemory_size=300M scope=spfile;
And it raised the error:

ORA-02096: specified initialization parameter is not modifiable with this option

*Cause:   Though the initialization parameter is modifiable, it cannot be modified using the specified command.

The default value is 0, and I checked that it is modifiable:

Name | ISSYS_MODIFIABLE |

inmemory_size |  IMMEDIATE    |

Is there anyone had similar error or can help me with that?
I am using oracle23c.

Round and Round Go Space and Time: The Afterlife of Lessing in Artistic Practice (Session at AAH 2011)
Date: March 31 – April 2, 2011
Venue: University of Warwick, UK
Session Convenors:
Sarah Lippert, Louisiana State University Shreveport, sarjorlip@comcast.net
Melissa Geiger, East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, mgeiger@po-box.esu.edu
When Gotthold Ephraim Lessing wrote his treatise called Laocoön: An Essay on the Limits of Painting and Poetry in 1766, the theory presented therein offered a systematic differentiation of the perceived strengths and weaknesses of each art. Supposedly so that they could peacefully coexist, Lessing endeavoured to equitably carve out spheres for visual and textual media, in support of Horace's ut pictura poesis tradition. Painting and poetry were divided based upon the notion that poetry belonged to the realm of time, and painting to the province of space. While many scholars have evaluated the reception of these ideas by subsequent aesthetic theorists and in artistic treatises, as well as parallel theories in Lessing's time, few have studied its more visceral effects on individual artists and their works, despite their absorption and percolation into artistic instruction and practice, both within and outside of academies of art.
This session hopes to explore artistic responses to Lessing's aesthetic theory, as well as derivative theories ranging from the eighteenth century to Clement Greenberg and beyond. For instance, how have scholars of the Modern era expanded upon the legacy of these systems? Should we sound the death knell for the theories of Lessing, Greenberg, and their kind in the world of artistic production, or will conceptions of temporality, spatiality, and artistic competition continue to be played out indefinitely in all media, as W.J.T. Mitchell has proposed?
Submissions are welcome from scholars working on eighteenth-century to contemporary subjects in a variety of methodological approaches.
If you would like to offer a paper, please email the session convenor(s) directly, providing an abstract of your proposed paper in no more than 250 words, your name and institutional affiliation (if any). You may only submit an abstract to one AAH session. Please do not send proposals to the conference convenor.
See for submissions details, registration, and all further information: http://www.aah.org.uk/page/3298
[Please note: this is an archival entry; conference website may be discontinued.]

There is nothing quite like the wind through your hair when you "drop the top." Convertibles illicit a certain freedom; a certain openness other cars just can't match. As we saw last week, muscle cars represent a carefree mantra we are not likely to see to again.
What happens when you combine these two elements in an automobile? Wide-Open Muscle: The Rarest Muscle Car Convertibles answers that very question.
Some of the most prized muscle cars are the heart throbbing convertibles of the 1960s and 70s. In their day, these convertibles chartered their lucky owners around as heads turned. Lovin' Spoonful, The Zombies, Bobby Fuller, The Vogues, The Beach Boys, or any number of artists at the time might be radiating from the eight-track.
One hand on the wheel and the other resting on the door – I can see it now. And if you had a significant other and a convertible, a drive-in movie kept the romance burning.
Yet, these cars burned something else. Rubber. And lots of it. These convertibles surprisingly held their own, despite not being readily conducive for drag racing. Their designs were a lot of things; practical was not one of them. Yet they emerged in a full throttle, pedal to the metal generation. Muscle cars were extreme, gnarly, and awesome all at the same time, but convertibles performed an outright one up when the top went down.
Wide-Open Muscle: The Rarest Muscle Car Convertibles details this in stunning fashion.
Randy Leffingwell wrote his first book, American Muscle, in 1989 while still on staff at the Los Angeles Times. Since then, he has authored another 47 titles for Motorbooks and its sister publisher Voyageur Press. He lives in southern California, about 100 miles north of Los Angeles.
Photographer Tom Loeser specializes in Motorsports and has spent 12 years shooting auto racing events like the Long Beach Grand Prix, Denver Grand Prix, St. Pete Grand Prix, and 12 hours of Sebring.
Wide-Open Muscle: The Rarest Muscle Car Convertibles is available though Amazon and Motorbooks.

Become the king of the Japanese bakery by mastering this easy curry bread. A Japanese curry sauce-filled, panko-covered savoury donut, this bizarre-sounding amalgamation of flavours and textures is one of the most popular types of bread bun in the country. Make this curry bread for enjoying between meals, or as a side dish with lunch or dinner.
Combine the kewpie mayonnaise and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl. Add the pancake mix and yoghurt to a separate larger bowl, before adding the mayonnaise mixture and stirring.
Continue to knead the dough until it solidifies, divide it into 4 equal portions and make into ball shapes. Place on a flour dusted tray, cover with cling film and set aside. Beat the egg in a wide bowl and lay the panko out on a dinner plate.
Pour the packet of curry sauce into a pan and heat on medium-high, stirring throughout. You need to reduce the sauce so that it becomes more like a paste, but be careful not to burn it. Set aside to cool.
Roll out each of the dough balls into 6 inch circles on a flour dusted surface. They need to remain relatively thick to ensure they don't tear when you use them as the wraps for the curry.
Divide the curry mixture evenly between the 4 dough circles spooning it into the middle. Seal them up by gathering the opposing edges of the circle above the filling and pinching together like a dumpling. Crimp the edges together well so there are no gaps and push the edge down to one side.
Sprinkle with flour and dip into the beaten egg, before transferring to the panko plate and evenly covering on both sides.
Fill a wok with vegetable oil for deep frying and heat until a test sprinkle of panko sizzles when added. Deep fry at around 190°C/375°F for 3 minutes, turning several times, until golden brown on the outside. Remove from the oil and drain on a wire rack.
- Mix things up a little with some other delicious fillings. Why not try using leftover stew, Bolognese or Singapore noodles, as long as the consistency is firm it will work.
- Curry Pan can go stale quickly so batch-make and freeze them individually in foil. When you fancy one reheat it in the oven for 20 mins.

You Do Not Need to Worry About Worn out Tyres Anymore, Presenting the Ceat Gripp X3
October 16, 2018 | Videh Vora
Tyres are quite a neglected aspect of our bikes on the road, they are the first patch of contact between our machine and the road, they make sure you stick to the ground and ride without any problems. Two important aspects of any tyre are the grip it offers and the tread pattern which pulls water out on slippery conditions. Most of the tyres that we use nowadays ten do fade out with the grip they offer over a period of time, even though they may be still usable, they have to trashed because of the lack of grip they offer.

The 'Monster in the Mission' Finally Comes to a Neighborhood Hearing
The Mission community advocates for 100% affordable housing. The developer pitches new proposals and threatens a ballot measure amidst an ongoing dirty tricks campaign. Mission residents will have their say on Feb. 7 when the 331-unit luxury-housing proposal at the 16th St. BART plaza comes to an informational hearing at Mission High School.

Following a long-running campaign by the Maximus Real Estate Partners team that to many appeared designed to confuse Mission residents, developer consultant Gene Royale released a new set of proposals in a controversial email just days before the Planning Commission Informational Hearing on the "Monster in the Mission," the 331-unit luxury housing proposal at 1979 Mission St. proposed by Maximus.
In the recent email to more than a dozen people including neighborhood Latino leaders, a copy of which was obtained by MissionWord, Maximus consultant Royale pitched two possible development proposals in a preview of what would be presented on Thursday at the Mission-hosted Planning Commission hearing, calling the offer "the best community benefits package I know of."
Along with two proposals for the project which Royale described as either 46 below-market-rate units along with "approximately 159 rent subsidies" for residents in single room occupancy hotels (SROs), or the purchase of two properties to be donated with "room for 192 affordable units," Royale also included a third option - the threat that if the City didn't accept either of the first two proposals, "we are preparing for a city wide campaign."
This "city wide campaign" threat appears to mirror the city ballot measure idea Maximus raised in a recent meeting with district Supervisor Hillary Ronen as reported by the SF Chronicle.
Maximus had been expected to make a proposal at the Thursday hearing that would possibly involve giving the city two plots of land, 2675 Folsom St and 2918 Mission St, to potentially serve as sites for affordable housing builds, which would be in line with the "two properties" mentioned in Royale's email. These land donations don't appear to carry with them any actual affordable housing unit construction, which would need to be executed by the city. It's unclear how realistic this land dedication proposal is, as it is not known whether the developer actually controls either of the two properties.
Prior to this current set of offers, the development team from Maximus LLC has in the past floated other project proposals for their 331-unit project with two 10-story luxury housing towers, including this previous proposal for the project that misrepresented the amount of affordable housing units in the proposal to be 31 percent when it was in fact only 24 percent.
Mission community reaction
Regarding Royale's email, Marilyn Duran, an organizer with PODER and the Plaza 16 Coalition, who are opposing the project, told MissionWord that Royale's outreach email was "half-hearted" and that it revealed that Maximus was "desperate for credibility." So desperate, said Duran, that they would even threaten a ballot measure if the city were to listen to the "overwhelming opposition" of the community and oppose their project.
The February 3rd email from Royale also contained passages alleging that the "white left" had manipulated the Mission Latino community into demanding affordable housing at the 16th St BART Plaza, and characterized those opposing the Maximus proposal as having "xenophobia."
In response, Duran said that Plaza 16, a coalition of more than 100 community groups and hundreds of residents, was made up of an array of community members, and that she and other organizers were following the lead of these community members who were clear in their desire for "dignified affordable housing" at the 16th St. site in the face of immense displacement pressures.
According to Census data, the Mission has lost more than 8,000 Latino residents since 2000. And a recent wave of displacement of iconic Mission businesses has touched off a renewed sense of urgency regarding the loss of the neighborhood culture and its economic ecosystem.
Duran, a Latina born and raised in the Mission, said she believes first and foremost in "housing our most vulnerable" and clarified that she is definitely "not a white progressive."
"Build the Marvel not the Monster"
Chirag Bhakta, a Mission Housing staffer and longtime organizer with the Plaza 16 Coalition, also pushed back on the newest Maximus proposals. He characterized the latest proposals being floated by Maximus as "nothing new" and said it was more of the same kind of developer-serving project proposals that result from the current city planning processes.

Bhakta said the Coalition's plans were not simply centered on defeating the current Maximus proposal, which he said would produce "a gentrified BART plaza that further destabilizes the area," but also making sure that plans were implemented for the plaza that serve those who most need it.
Bhakta pointed to the extended community-based process that the Plaza 16 Coalition conducted in 2017 and 2018 with more than 300 neighborhood residents who participated for over 9 months to create a proposal for 100 percent affordable housing they call the "Marvel in the Mission."
This kind of community process, he said, "gives the opportunity for people to play a role in developing their own neighborhood, especially for working class people and people of color."
Bhakta said that Plaza 16's organizing around the project was not limited to defeating the current Maximus proposal. "Our commitment is to the needs of the neighborhood and the people of the plaza," he said.
The Marvel in the Mission
In contrast to the developer's proposal for the site, community advocates and residents have advocated for a vision for the 16th Street plaza that includes 100 percent affordable housing, a community center, and a park space.

Plaza 16 Coalition advocates point to the 16th Plaza as an ideal transit hub site for affordable housing and perfectly suited to house the working-class and formerly homeless residents who would occupy these units and rely on public transit far more than wealthier residents.
Studies show that wealthier residents drive more than less wealthy residents, and a recent Pew Research Center study published in January of 2019 showed that wealthier residents are also more likely to use ride hail companies like Uber and Lyft than the working-class. All of which points to the need to utilize transit hubs such as this one to house the working-class and formerly homeless who can be expected to use the public transit system more heavily, according to Bhakta.
"We'll have 161 parking spaces next to Marshall Elementary, with more traffic causing congestion problems," he said. "It doesn't make sense."
As for how the Marvel in the Mission would be paid for, Bhakta pointed to a number of sources of funding including upcoming city and state housing bonds, potential MTC funds for transit-oriented-development affordable housing projects, as well as several large-scale philanthropic campaigns under way to build and preserve affordable housing in the Bay Area, including a Kaiser initiative and a recent pledge by the Chan Zuckerberg initiative to raise $500 million to pay for affordable housing around the Bay.
Bhakta pointed to the recent successes of both city and state affordable housing measures that were passed by the voters. "People want to fund affordable housing projects, he said.
With a significant pool of potential funding coming to San Francisco for affordable housing in the next few years, Bhakta said that a critical project such as the community's proposal for affordable housing in such a vulnerable area of the north Mission should be able to find the funding.
"All we need is a small sliver to make the dreams of a neighborhood come true," he said.
Monster shadows on Marshall Elementary
In addition to the gentrification and neighborhood displacement concerns related to the project, organizers also point to harm from the project casting a shadow on the neighboring Spanish immersion school Marshall Elementary, where many of the students live in the nearby single room housing units (SROs). This means that for those children especially, having access to quality outdoor play space is crucial, said Bhakta.
"The only playtime they get outside is at recess. This development wants to take that away," he said.
Bhakta pointed out that community's Marvel in the Mission design, created with pro bono architectural assistance, has taken care so as not to produce shadows on the school playground.

The Maximus team has acknowledged the concern regarding shadows on the school playground and at one point suggested possibly raising the playground in an attempt to get it out of the shadows. The project's full Environmental Impact Report that will contain a complete assessment of the shadow and other impacts is not yet complete.
'I am not a Monster'
An unprecedented ongoing dirty-tricks campaign by Maximus and its sponsored group "Mission for All" has left many, including City officials, puzzled as to the developer strategy. Things became so precarious that at one point Mission for All even launched a paid poster campaign that featured local residents supposedly in favor of the Maximus project announcing "I am not a monster."
But one of the residents featured in the ad campaign, a teacher who grew up in the Mission, Nancy Ana Lucero, quickly came forward to declare that she had been tricked into participating and did not support the Maximus proposal that the campaign advocated for.
Lucero told MissionWord that she had been lead to believe the ad was "to promote affordable housing in the Mission" and said she felt "absolutely mislead" by the Mission for All team.
"I have worked and lived in the Mission for many years and am a part of the community. I know what the housing situation in the Mission is like," Lucero said.
According to Lucero, the Mission for All representatives told her they wouldn't take down her ad because she had signed a waiver. "They knew I felt betrayed and did not care whatsoever," she said.
Mission for All finally relented and took down her picture, according to Lucero, after a friend of hers contacted the district supervisor, Hillary Ronen.
Maximus did not respond to MissionWord's request for comment on this story.
A sustained dirty tricks campaign
Since the earliest days of the Monster proposal, Maximus has funded two "grassroots" campaigns -- both of which were quickly labeled "astroturf" by community leaders.
In addition to the activities of these two groups -- "Cleanup the Plaza" and "Mission for All" -- there have been allegations that the development team repeatedly misrepresented facts, from larger transgressions like the charge of impersonating a City Official, described below, to smaller ones, such as incorrectly stating that former Supervisor David Campos was co-sponsoring their March 2015 project meeting.
Original documents filed in 2016 for Mission for All show the group registered at the same downtown San Francisco address as Maximus LLC, and using the same lawyer.
On the left, the initial 2016 CA Secretary of State filing shows "Mission for All" to be registered at the same address as Maximus in San Francisco's Financial District, One Maritime Plaza, suite 1900. The image on the right is the Google listing for Maximus Real Estate Partners.
A more recent 2019 filing with the Secretary of State's office lists Larry Del Carlo, long known to be working for Maximus team on the 1979 Mission St. project, as the "Chief Executive Officer" of Mission for All.
Perhaps most concerning of the charges leveled against the development team is the October 2018 phone call that Maximus consultant Gene Royale was reported to have made to Mission High School principal Eric Guthertz. In the November phone call, Royale is said to have suggested to Guthertz that he should cancel the previously scheduled Planning Commission Hearing on 1979 Mission St. due to concerns about meeting safety. According to Guthertz, Royale represented himself on the phone to be a member of the Planning Commission - the city body that would be ruling on the Maximus development.
Maximus representatives have since denied this account, but Principal Guthertz himself recounted this story as accurate to the SF Chronicle. The principal, concerned about the school's scheduled Open House that same night and worried about possible trouble after receiving the call, asked that the commission hearing be rescheduled, resulting in the current Feb. 7 hearing date.
As this new February informational hearing date approached, Mission for All began posting its flyers up and down Mission St. with a design that imitated the color and layout of the Plaza 16 postcards that were already being distributed throughout the neighborhood. This copycat campaign resulted in Plaza 16 making the decision to switch to a different postcard in yellow and orange to try to eliminate confusion.
Sowing confusion: similar in color, design, and messaging, but the postcard on the left is from the Plaza 16 Coalition, while the flyer on the right is one of a copycat series produced and distributed by the developer-funded group Mission for All.
While Mission for All can most recently be seen doing some things in the neighborhood that residents consider helpful, such as a recent event that fed the homeless, the ongoing confusion they have created appears to have left many MIssion residents wary of the group. In March 2018 their strategies once again came to a head when artists realized they had been tricked into participating in a Maximus-funded project through a Mission for All event called "Made in the Bay," El Tecolote reported.
By early 2018 the ongoing actions of Maximus and their Mission for All team were already beginning to catch up with them. In February of that year -- shortly after the incident with the teacher -- the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee passed a resolution opposing the project. The resolution cited, among other things, the shadow the project would cast on Marshall Elementary School's playground, the "ripple effect of gentrification and displacement" that the project had caused around the site, the "campaign of alternative facts about the project" waged by Maximus consultant Jack Davis, and Mission for All's "harassment and intimidation of local youth."
Before "Mission for All" there was "Cleanup the Plaza"
Long before Mission for All was formed, the SF Bay Guardian confirmed that Jack Davis, part of 1979 Mission St. development team, was in fact a part of driving a suspiciously-timed 2014 campaign to "cleanup 16th St BART plaza," which serves as the front porch to many single room occupancy (SRO) tenants from the surrounding dormitory-style buildings.
The Guardian also uncovered that Davis' roommate, Gil Chavez, was coordinating this cleanup campaign. Chavez asserted to the paper that Cleanup the Plaza and Maximus were only "in communication with" the developer but not funded by them. Shortly after, 48 Hills confirmed with Davis that he was being paid by Maximus.
The largest luxury project proposal ever
The 331-unit Monster proposal is the largest in the history of the Mission, only nearly equaled by what in the end became the 326-unit "Beast on Bryant" project at Bryant and 18th Streets. This Beast on Bryant project, after an extended community advocacy negotiation driven by more than 100 residents, finally concluded in 2016 after a series of appeals and finally a City intervention that resulted in the two-building outcome - a 196-unit luxury housing project and a 130-unit affordable housing project now known as 681 Florida St.
In the end, 40 percent of the total housing units in the former Beast on Bryant development were scheduled to be affordable and the combined buildings will also retain 40 percent of the original blue-collar space. Fourteen thousand square feet of that blue-collar space will be offered at subsidized rates. The market-rate housing units began construction at the site recently, and the affordable housing units are slated to begin construction by the fall of 2019.
Ripples of displacement
While the 1979 Mission St project does not directly displace any existing residential tenants, the Grand Southern Hotel around the corner which houses vulnerable residents in its SRO rooms was put up for sale for a time shortly after the Monster proposal came forward. The firm marketing the SRO building at the time, Vanguard, promoted the impending arrival of the luxury towers at 1979 Mission St as a key selling point.
Plaza 16 members also point to the fact that already the neighboring 105-year-old Redstone Building was put up for sale at a price of $25 million, sending its nonprofits and arts organizations scrambling to try to save their community center with the Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA). And commercial tenants immediately across 16th St from the Monster site, including Rainforest Action Network, were displaced from their offices.
The Redstone Building, also known as the Redstone Labor Temple, was recently put up for sale at $25 million, one of a number of nearby gentrification impacts that community organizers attribute to the Monster in the Mission proposal. Poster photo courtesy Redstone Labor Temple Association.
At the 1979 Mission St. site itself Burger King has already left and closed its doors, and City Club has moved across the street, reportedly as part of a potential agreement with the developer.
Community advocates counter that rather than stabilize a neighborhood, there is growing anecdotal evidence that new luxury projects often begin a circle of displacement from the time they are proposed. And a recent Federal Reserve study calculated that for every five percent increase in the housing units built in a desirable neighborhood, rent prices only decrease by a half of a percent, leading advocates to conclude that a neighborhood such as the Mission cannot "build its way out."
First of its kind hearing in the Mission
Feb. 7 marks the first Planning Commission hearing to be held in the Mission regarding an individual development, coming at the request of the Plaza 16 Coalition.
This upcoming hearing will be informational only as the Planning Commissioners will not be ruling on the project until a later date. The hearing will begin with a brief presentation by the Planning Department followed by a 10-minute presentation by Maximus LLC's development team. Plaza 16 representatives will then present for 10 minutes as the officially recognized opposition to the project proposal.
The remainder and majority of this four-hour hearing will be reserved for members of the public to express their views regarding the project to the Planning Commissioners for one minute each. The Planning Commission is limiting the speaking time of each person to only one minute because the school space is only available for four hours and hundreds of residents are expected to speak.
The Planning Commission Information Hearing on 1979 Mission St will be held at Mission High School Auditorium at 4pm on Feb. 7. Plaza 16 has announced they will be rallying at 2:30pm at 18th and Dolores Streets.

It's not an Ecwid specific theme. It's not an eCommerce theme. It's just a very simple WordPress theme, and then I added my Ecwid store right within that theme.
What I'm getting to is that you don't need an Ecwid specific theme to customize your WordPress site and integrate your online store.
If you would like to design your Ecwid site quickly and easily, I recommend Elementor for WordPress. It allows you to build a custom WordPress theme quickly and easily!
Another content management system that you might want to have a look at is Wix.
It's important to know that if you're using Ecwid with Wix then you don't need Wix's eCommerce solution and you don't need their paid eCommerce themes.
You can simply choose whatever Wix theme you would like and design it to match your brad. Wix is the best solution to go with if you would really like to customize your online store and get it to match your brand quickly and easily. Use Ecwid CSS codes to do so.
