The principle of persuasion is seen when juror #8 decides to carry out a ballot system of voting and wants to know how many of the others stand for his ideas and concept. After the ballot is put when the chits are read, it is found that one more individual other than jury #8 also finds him not guilty. Hence all the other jury members feel that they have been cheated and that the individual who has supported the jury #8 has been mislead by the juror #8. On saying so the juror #9 the wise old man admits that he is the one who had changed his votes because he respected and believed the independence of thought of the juror #8 and he also feels that the boy deserves the right to be given the benefit of doubt and this was possible only if the juror was given support and he felt that he was convinced enough to vote that he was not guilty. He also states that may be the boy would ultimately turn out to be guilty but he would want to hear the entire story and its truth before having to decide upon anything, hence going to prove that the socio-psychological principle of persuasion, worked as the juror #8 changed the ideas, attitude and behavior of the target with the help of information or argument.
The concept on the whole explores the unreliable judgments, deep-seated personal prejudices, indifference, perceptual biases and weaknesses, anger, ignorance and fears, cultural differences, personalities, of the twelve men that would have turned out to actually threaten to spoil their decision-making skills, cause them to make no reckoning of the real matters in the case, and lead them to wrongdoing. It was because of one smart and brave juror who had the guts in him to stand up for what he felt was right and not fall into the group of other individuals and forget his social psychological behavior of conformity that required him to express his thoughts, feelings and behaviors in accordance with the social norms or standards that were set up others.
It is the fact that this juror was able to persistently and persuasively force the other juries to reconsider the case against the endangered defendant. It was because of the fact that he stood up to criticize the eye witnesses and proved them wrong and then criticize the system for actually appointing a public defense lawyer who was not capable enough to handle the case and did not really appreciate being appointed as one.
Although the case on the whole seems pretty easy to understand and also seems to be one that can be easily solved with the knife of the murder scene being found, the eye witnesses and the supposed idea of the boy fleeing. The entire concept portrayed by the jurors, each and every scene enacted by them goes to prove that the jurors' behavior could be easily socio-psychologically analyzed.
The episodes portrayed in the film if they were not in the situation where may be the jurors would have reacted differently. It has been noticed that these socio-psychological behaviors witnessed in individuals may be actually responsible for the imminent change in their values, lifestyle and their self-concepts.

"I appreciate how the program takes an interdisciplinary approach to study the complexity and depth of environmental challenges today."
Keri Rouse '19
From the impacts of acid mine drainage to the role of diversity in sustainable agriculture, Point Park University graduate students in the Master of Science in environmental studies program recently presented research on a variety of important issues in the field.
"Coming from a communications background, I appreciated drawing the connection between our science courses and communicating the urgency surrounding environmental issues with the public. Recognizing this connection and its importance has encouraged me to explore paths in the environmental field that I hadn't initially considered," explained Keri Rouse '19, a graduate of Hempfield Area High School in Greensburg, Pa., and a graduate assistant for Point Park's Department of Natural Sciences, Engineering and Technology.
"I appreciate how the program takes an interdisciplinary approach to study the complexity and depth of environmental challenges today," Rouse added.
Point Park's 30-credit environmental studies graduate program is designed for individuals seeking positions and promotions as environmental professionals in industry, regulatory agencies and nonprofit organizations. The program's accelerated format of evening classes can be completed in as little as one year.
"The master's in environmental studies program is an excellent fit for students wanting to learn about today's environmental issues and how to apply the skills necessary to address a wide range of environmental practices from government planning in sustainability to managing water resources and much more," explained Matthew Opydke, Ph.D., professor of environmental science and director of the MSES program.
According to Opdyke, the program has helped many professionals establish themselves as leaders in their professions and communities.
"I selected Point Park University because they offered so much expertise in the area of environmental studies. When I was checking around for grad schools, the only one that really stood out and could give me the best opportunities to obtain a master's degree in this field was Point Park," said John Belinda '19, a graduate of Forest Hills High School in Sidman, Pa.
Belinda's favorite course in the program was Exploring the Environment and Health Connection.
"This course taught me about Pittsburgh's environmental health issues from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s. I learned the history of and current issues surrounding infectious diseases, ambient air quality, water pollution, solid and hazardous waste management and energy demands, generation and use," Belinda explained.
Belinda currently works as a transportation constructor inspector for DLZ Corporation in Bridgeville, Pa.
"The master's program in environmental studies at Point Park is a step towards advancing in my career at DLZ. My company values its employees, and if they value me, then I must value myself. Obtaining this degree means I have completed one of my many goals in life," Belinda said.
He added: "This degree will help me be a valuable asset, not only to myself, but to my wife, my soon-to-be child, my company and my peers."

The Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education (MBAE) commissioned the Brightlines team led by Sir Michael Barber (@michaelbarber9) to consider the future of education in Massachusetts. The New Opportunity to Lead is a comprehensive 120-page report that sets out an agenda for the next 20 years, beyond the Common Core and standards-based reform.
The report opens with the prerequisite vignette of how everything works better and is more flexibile for students and teachers. It includes a nod to Fullan's six C's: character, citizenship, communication, critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration, and creativity and imagination.
Employability gap between what the economy demands and what the school system produces.
Knowledge gap between what a 21st century American needs to know and what graduates of the school system actually know.
The achievement gap between white students and under-represented minorities.
The opportunity gap between children from the well-off and children of low income families.
The global gap between domestic performance and top performing education systems in the world.
The top talent gap between top performing students and students in the best-performing education systems in the world.
For a state that has been a top performer, the report notes that "recent data suggests there has been a deceleration in the rate of improvement and Massachusetts has not kept pace with the rate of improvement seen in other countries." This may provide some motivation for the Bay State, but the recommendations are applicable for every state.
Apply the whole-system reform change knowledge. The basics include high standards, assessments, supported teachers, strong principals, and a state education authority that is driver of quality rather than enforcers of compliance.
Simultaneously developing a 'systemic innovation agenda. Systems need to become more adept at constantly generating, identifying and scaling innovation and creating a culture which supports this innovation.
Focus on effective implementation. The author of Deliverology says high fidelity implementation is "the biggest challenge of all."
That's easier said than done—and it's not fully tested, but the first country/region to enact the formula "will surely not just improve faster than others; it will generate the capacity to sustain improvement and the resilience to adapt to changes in the external environment."
The rest of the report is organized around specific recommendations outlined below.
Key to "a shift to student-centered learning" is a shift from assessment for accountability purposes to a primary use to "inform day-to-day decisions."
Like a recent Petrilli blog , Barber and team suggest a two track system with "two particular pathways: one is for students inclined to opt for a vocational route, and the other for top-performing students. These recommendations make me nervous about early tracking of low income and minority youth into lower expectation CTE tracks. I like the idea that "as students moved towards graduation, the school [is] a place where learning and work seemed to merge."
A description of high school circa 2030 includes lots of online options (see DLN recommendations) along with some silly stuff like hologram lecturers. I would have appreciated more on next-gen guidance systems (watch for a DLN paper on this soon).
Future delivery system. Barber and team urge "incentives for a variety of school models" and encouragement for schools to work in networks, "All schools in Massachusetts should be part of at least one school improvement network or cluster." (See similar recommendations here).
The report (on page 46) urges expansion of charter schools and adoption of portfolio strategies. An interesting (but vague/safe) recommendation is for "the state establish and fund a new competition to promote innovative proposals for district redesign and reform." Governance recommendations also include a shift in focus of the state from performance rather than compliance.
World class teachers and leaders. The report has some practical advice about improving teacher preparation with more of "focus on clinical practice" and opening up the field to "a more diverse range of teacher preparation providers."
State commitment to maintaining or enhancing the overall funding of the school system over a five-to-ten year period, contingent on the implementation of reforms below.
A new approach to funding which is fair and ensures that a much greater proportion of the funding is devolved to school level, thus reducing bureaucracy and ensuring much more discretion over allocation of funds for teachers and principals.
Appropriate basic compensation based on benchmarking with other professions, and extra reward for extra contribution.
Career progression based on demonstrated competence, drawing on peer review and evidence of impact on students, not time served.
Regular surveys of teacher, parent and student commitment and satisfaction which enable comparison across districts.
Explicit rewards for innovation or for those within teaching who make a contribution beyond their school, especially in the lowest income communities.
Active involvement of teachers in key processes of the state education system, such as assessing students' fitness to practice at the end of a teacher preparation program.
An expectation that every teacher or principal who wished to reach the top levels of the profession would serve significant time in more challenging locations.
Increased learning time for students and increased time for all teachers to participate in collaborative professional development built into the working day, week and year.
The opportunity for a longer working day and year in return for higher pay.
The opportunity for higher teacher compensation in return for reduced pension entitlement.
Performance assessment and same criteria for expansion, intervention and closure.
Public Engagement - active management of parental feedback and concerns, greater transparency and information and a public schedule for school closings and openings.
An Innovation Collaborative of educators, EdTech innovators, and investors.
The report nods toward mobile, social, game-based and adaptive learning.
Closing the opportunity gap. The report urges universal preschool; weighted funding for schools to support extended time in schools serving low income students; and Personal Opportunity Plans--an out-of-school learning bank account for low income families.
Every chapter includes recommendations for 2016 and 2020. The report is a useful framing of the conversation that should be occurring in every state capital and on every school board.

B&Q set to make changes to over 60s discount scheme and stop more people joining
The DIY shop made the decision in an attempt to create better prices for all customers
B&Q is changing their discount scheme for over 60s. (Image: Huddersfield Examiner.)
B&Q has announced changes to their over 60s Diamond Club discount scheme, including a cut-off date for new cards to be issued.
From September, 3 the company will no longer accept applications for new members to join the scheme.
Current Diamond Card holders will still benefit from discounts and won't have their cards taken off them.
However, the offers are changing and the card will no longer give over 60s discounts on as many products as before.
Nominate your sports heroes as we launch the Derby Telegraph Sports Awards 2018
Currently Diamond Card holders can get 10% off any products on Wednesdays, excluding bathrooms and kitchens.
But as of September 3, discounts will be limited to 10,000 gardening products that can be taken away on the day.
Gardening products will remain a part of the Diamond Card scheme. (Image: Handout.)
Any products that have to be ordered in are no longer included in the 10% discount offer.
The B&Q Club, which is a loyalty scheme for customers of any age, will not face any changes.
Everything you need to know about bin collections in Derby
The company has made the decision to change the scheme to make prices stable and discounts fairer for all customers.
Trading director, Paul White said: "Customers of all ages want to have prices they can trust, and as industry leaders it's out responsibility to look after their best interests by ensuring our customers get our most competitive price.
"That's why we're simplifying our pricing - reducing the number of deals and reviewing our loyalty benefits - to make our prices clear, transparent and trusted."

There's still time to join the scheme and make sure you don't miss out on additional discounts.
You can join the Diamond Club by popping into your local branch of B&Q - make sure you take ID with you as you may have to prove that you're over 60.


The prettiest car at the impound lot.
A woman has had her car seized for hooning around the streets of China, but it's not a souped-up Commo that she's been lapping in.
It's a bright pink bumper car, which looks like something from the Barbie aisle at a toy shop.
Video of the 50-year-old woman cruising about Guiyang city, in the province of Guizhou, went nuts on Chinese social media platform Weibo before trickling into global newsfeeds.
As we learned from an article from Ng Huiwen for The Straights Times, the woman owned a bumper car hire business, and decided to use the hot pink wheels to zip over to work.
Apparently, it wasn't the first time she'd done this.
Police have reportedly roused on her multiple times for her choice of vehicle.
And as it was reported by Hangzhou.com, police "temporarily detained" the novelty vehicle to make her think twice about taking for a spin on public roads.

Q: How Can I Make WebStorm SCSS File Watcher Output to Different Directory I'm trying to use WebStorm's SCSS file watcher, but no matter what settings I change it always outputs the generated .css file to the same directory as the .scss file.
I've tried changing the "arguments" from:
--no-cache --update $FileName$:$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css

to:
--no-cache --update ../$FileName$:$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css

but the output file is still generated in the same place.  However, I did modify and save my .scss file, saw the file watcher trigger, and saw that the generated file changed ... it just didn't put the changed version in a different location.
I tried providing --output and -o options, but was told those are invalid (which makes sense because the command-line SCSS expects the output to be an argument not an option).  So then I tried using just:
../$FileName$:$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css

no luck.  Then I thought "maybe it's the 'Output paths to refresh'", so I changed that from:
$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css:$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css.map

to:
../$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css:$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css.map

... and still, I just get the output file in the same directory.
Is it even possible to make WebStorm output to somewhere else, or is the output path fixed?

A: Ex: If you want the css in root/css/
Just give "--no-cache --update $FileName$:$FileParentDir$/css/$FileNameWithoutExtension$.css" to "Arguments"

Return to the Looking Glass
by Storm
"What's in the box, Lee?"
Commander Lee Crane looked up from his desk with a harried expression, blinking at the silhouetted shape leaning against the doorway to his office. "What box?"
"That box." Chip Morton stepped inside the doorway and pointed a finger at a white box sitting on the chair in front of his captain's desk.
Lee rose, looking over the desk, then smacked himself on the forehead in a gesture of exasperation. "Oh, hell. I forgot to put the cheesecake in the refrigerator."
"Cheesecake?" responded Morton with an arched eyebrow. "What are you doing with a cheesecake? You've always preferred cookies."
Crane came around the desk to retrieve the box. "If you must know, it's for someone else." He hastily opened the box to check the temperature of it's contents and heaved a sigh of relief when he found it to still be cool. He carried it over to the small refrigerator that inhabited one corner of his office and after rearranging the interior, was able to shut the box inside.
Curiosity aroused, Morton couldn't help but pursue the subject. "Anybody I know?"
"It's for Diane."
Morton wrinkled his forehead as he searched his memory for a Diane. "The only Diane I know is that author we met when I went tripping into that alternate universe. Surely it's not her! What were you doing while I was on leave?"
"Actually, it is her." Crane settled back into his chair with an audible sigh.
"What! How?" demanded Morton.
Crane shrugged. "You know the Admiral..."
Morton sagged into the now empty visitor chair, dismay written across his features. "He couldn't leave it alone, could he?"
"Nope." Crane sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "Not only did he get Diane back, he got Storm and Bailey - plus some new ones."
"More of them?" Morton was aghast. "How many more?"
"At least a dozen."
"A dozen?! What the hell is he going to do with them?"
"I have no idea, Chip, but when I left a while ago, he was trying to talk Storm out of her new laptop."
Morton jumped to his feet and began to pace. "Oh, no, not another one. Not after what we read on the last one." A thought seemed to strike him and he paused. "These new people. They aren't..."
Crane closed his eyes and hung his head. "All but two are Voyage writers."
"I'm almost afraid to ask what the two who aren't writers are," muttered Morton, just loud enough for the captain to hear.
"Actors," responded the captain, a wry look in his eyes that sent a chill down the blond's spine.
"From Voyage?"
"One of them is."
"Are you going to tell me who?" Morton's expression was one of wary apprehension.
"David."
"David? Your - ah - double?"
Crane slowly nodded.
Chip tried to hide his relief; he'd been afraid the actor in question might be his double, Bob Dowdell. "So who's the other one?"
Crane's expression lightened. "His name is John D'Aquino. He was on a series called SeaQuest, done thirty years later. It's my understanding it's considered the successor to the Voyage TV series."
"The Admiral tuned in on another one of those conventions, didn't he?"
"He did. And for them it was a very good thing."
Morton arched a questioning eyebrow.
"The Admiral told me they were in the emergency stairwell, trying to evacuate from the hotel. The main lighting was out where they were and fire alarms were blaring. The elevators were shut down..." Lee shook his head, recalling the frantic state the group had still been in when he'd arrived in response to Nelson's summons. "The writers were shepherding the two actors down from one of the upper floors. From what they've told me, there was an explosion on a lower floor - not enough to do major damage to the building that they could see where they were, but enough that everybody felt or heard it."
"Sounds like it was getting intense. Is the cheesecake - to calm them down?"
Crane shook his head again. "Actually, Mr. Hedison asked me if I would mind picking up a few things to thank them for their concern."
"Like cheesecake for Diane?"
"And dark chocolate for Michelle, white chocolate for Storm..." He chuckled wryly. "He also asked for a bottle of vodka - something called Ketel One. Imported Dutch vodka, no less." Lee threw out his arms in a gesture of supplication. "I've never heard of it and neither has the Admiral. I don't know if it even exists in this universe. I sent Sharkey to the liquor store to see if he could find it for him. Least I could do." He briefly grasped the back of his head. "The writers were all trying to take care of him and yet he's the only one who thought to ask me to take care of them."
Chip shook his head. "Vodka. He obviously has very different tastes in booze than you do, pal."
"No kidding. It's weird - I see glimpses of myself in him but it's clear that we're two very different people. For which, I might add, I am very grateful. I don't know if I could handle him being just like me."
"You aren't the only one who'd have trouble handling it," commented Morton, coming back to sit in the chair again.
Crane laughed out loud as smile spread across his face. "Tell me about it. You should have seen Kowalski's face when he saw him. It was a sight to behold."
"I wish I'd been there," Morton lamented with a grin.
"Trust me, it was all I could do not to laugh. And not only at Ski."
"Hmmm. Storm, Diane and that Bailey fellow have all been through this before, so I'd guess they weren't phased by it. How did the others react?"
"They took it surprisingly well - even the two actors. I was a bit surprised myself how quickly they calmed down once they knew where they were."
"Storm and company must have told the others about their little adventure," noted Morton.
"They say not. They didn't figure anybody would believe them."
"Are you serious? They kept it to themselves?" Morton asked in disbelief.
"Actually," said Crane thoughtfully, "I can see why they wouldn't have mentioned it. They had absolutely no proof of where they'd been and very few people saw you except for a short while at the convention. Would you have believed someone under those circumstances?"
"Well, no," Morton had to admit.
"So they decided to keep quiet." Crane shrugged. "The real question now is, can the Admiral get them back where they belong without endangering them, or exposing our world to the authorities in theirs. They seem to have a real horror of anybody in their own government gaining this portal technology - I get the distinct impression they don't trust the people currently in power."
Morton gave his friend and captain a sardonic look. "And that differs from our own experiences with our government how?"
"Ah." Crane paused for a moment and reflected. "When you put it that way," he admitted sheepishly, "I can see what they're afraid of." He shook his head and added, "I hope that means they aren't stuck here."
"Stuck here?" Morton almost choked on the idea. "Isn't the portal unstable? I mean, won't it send them all back on it's own?" he spluttered.
"Not this time, Chip. The Admiral figured out what was wrong with the way Louis had the equipment wired. Bailey and Storm both told me this was a pretty smooth ride compared to the last time - and the Admiral says all indications are that crossovers can be made permanent."
"Permanent?!" Morton's voice rose at least an octave. "Is the Admiral out of his mind?!"
"Chip!" Crane gave his XO a stern look.
Morton had the grace to blush at his outburst. He didn't relish the idea of having all of these ... fans... as permanent 'guests'. He suspected that when Nelson really thought things through neither would he.
"Really, Chip, I don't think the Admiral wants to keep them here any more than we do. There'd be questions in both universes we wouldn't want anybody looking into."
"I don't suppose we could persuade the Admiral to forget about this damned portal machine and disassemble it? After he gets everyone back where they belong?" asked the XO hopefully.
The two men's eyes met and they both gave identical sighs. "Not a chance," admitted Crane. "I guess we'll have to figure out how to keep it from getting out of hand."
Chip wished the Admiral hadn't figured out how to get Louis' stupid machine working. As much as he admired his employer, there were times when the man's curiosity overrode his good sense - and Morton had the feeling this was definitely one of those times. Maybe he could persuade Storm, who seemed to like him, to help plead his case with the Admiral. He'd even put up with whatever was on her new laptop if it would distract Nelson's scientific curiosity from the portal. Chip rubbed at his temples, feeling a headache coming on. It looked the future was going to be ... interesting.
THE END??

Thank-you to everyone who supported us - we had a blast and look forward to the 2016/2017 season!


In the thirteenth century, hordes of Tatar Mongolian warriors rode out of the Eurasian steppes and laid waste to most of Russia, enslaving or massacring the population and occupying the land in the south. The towns of Rostov, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, and Bogolyubovo, more than 150 miles northeast of Moscow (at the time a remote provincial village), were pillaged by the invaders but spared the occupation. Previously isolated amid forests and on windswept plains, but seated on or near the upper Volga and with access to trade, these towns flourished in loosely allied autonomous principalities for the next 200 years. Forming a rough semicircle, and with a bounty of gilt-cupolaed churches, they and other nearby towns acquired a collective name: the Golden Ring.
The Ring exemplifies what I like best about the Russian countryside: rural hospitality; somnolent landscapes and tree-lined lanes where pedestrians stroll and cars are few; wooden cabins with plumes of smoke trailing from the chimneys; the dreamy susurrus of the wind through the trees. The area is within easy reach of Moscow—several hours by car or train, or a longer but more pleasant ferry ride up the Volga—and provides a welcome escape from the capital's traffic and crowds. But most of all, as I discovered recently, a visit to the Golden Ring surrounds one with the artistic and spiritual treasures of Old Russia: the masterpieces of Orthodox ecclesiastical architecture, and the evocation of a hazy, half-mythical era of lost liberties, a time before Moscow arose as Russia's unifier and despot.
As I approached Rostov, a cold wind rolled off Lake Nero, pushing a mosaic of gunmetal clouds. Here and there rays of sunlight shot through, illuminating rows of turquoise and green cabins along the hilly shore, glancing off the domes and crucifixes atop the Cathedral of the Assumption in the town's citadel, or kremlin. Later that day I walked the kremlin's courtyard with my guide, a young woman named Irina who, with her round eyes, plump figure, and flaxen hair coiffed beneath a pink shawl, reminded me of a matryoshka doll.
Irina recounted Rostov's history in elegiac tones. The town's first Slavic inhabitants came from Novgorod, in the boggy forests to the north, late in the first millennium, mixing peaceably with local Finno Ugric tribes. As their numbers increased, so did their need for protection. Rostov's centerpiece is the kremlin, a stone structure of solemn grandeur. With six onion-domed churches, it stands starkly on the plains, evoking the isolation the town must have felt as much of the country was settled by the Mongols.
By 1207, Rostov was the capital of an eponymous principality that evolved into one of medieval Russia's main city-states. And as the resting place for the remains of Saint Dmitry Rostovsky, who died there in 1709, it became a center for Orthodox pilgrims, who would come from all over the country to pray at his tomb. This was, Irina assured me, not mere folklore: the church has certified 300 miracles of healing in Rostov.
In their campaign against religion, the Soviets leveled most of Rostov's churches and deliberately neglected the town. The government housed proletarians in the monks' cells at the fourteenth-century Monastery of St. Jacob, which we visited next, and used the magnificent Cathedral of the Conception as a barn. Today about twenty monks inhabit the monastery. They look after an ever-changing number of trudniki, men who drift from monastery to monastery doing manual labor in exchange for food and shelter. I found something reassuring in this: despite the feverish efforts of the Soviets, the communal structures of Old Russia have survived here, at least in a small way.
A ninety-minute taxi ride northeast from Rostov took me across undulant, dun-colored plains and gave me my first view of Yaroslavl: billboards and Brezhnev-era concrete tenements. I wasn't expecting this depressing sort of modernity here. But as we shot past the tenements, onion domes rose up around us. Yaroslavl, like Rostov, is renowned for its ancient churches, which are everywhere in the city. Pedestrian streets teeming with shoppers dead-ended at cathedral walls; markets where old women haggled over cheese and sausage abutted antique brick churches; young people strolled in and out of cafés and pizza parlors in the shadows of belfries. With a population of 680,000, Yaroslavl bustled in a way that tiny Rostov, with only 40,000 inhabitants, could not, yet it exuded the same sort of charm.
And the city has its peaceful places. At the Museum of Music and Time, located in a fin-de-siècle merchant's house on the Volga, I drifted into reverie listening to the ticking of countless Swiss, German, and French clocks from centuries past, along with an intermittent, soothing concert of chimes that sounded regardless of the hour. (The clocks were not synchronized.) I heard a Cupid-emblazoned German Klingsor gramophone playing Chaliapin and Caruso; Swiss music boxes that tinkled out ditties; and an Odessan street organ called a sharmanka (from the French charmant) that, when cranked, emitted a circus tune. Scenes from the works of Tolstoy and Chekhov came inescapably to mind. Indeed, in another room tiny porcelain figures representing heroes from Russian literature stood frozen in crystalline light.
His enthusiasm has evidently infected others. Before leaving I thumbed through an album full of photographs showing newlyweds posing in front of Mostoslavsky's pianos—something of a postnuptial ritual in the town.
In 1888 a young artist with delicate features and intense eyes debarked from a Volga ferry in Plyos, a tiny hamlet about sixty miles east of Yaroslavl. The surrounding meadows, the birch-mantled hills, and the fir-shaded dales inspired him to spend three summers there, during which he painted more than forty landscapes. The artist's name was Isaac Levitan; his Plyos pictures would earn him fame as the greatest Russian realist.
Levitan lived modestly in Plyos, renting, with his mistress and an artist friend, the upper floor of a merchant's riverside house, which is now a museum exhibiting some of his work. (Much more is on display in the State Tretyakov Gallery, in Moscow.) As soon as I arrived in the town, I searched out his home. Upstairs was a sitting room bathed in the Volga's blue reflected light; in it, an easel stood next to an oak desk and a lamp with a filigreed base. Across the hall was a dining room looking out onto a stand of birches.
Downstairs I examined Levitan's paintings. In one room hung originals, including Sunset on the Volga, depicting the peach-tinted sky of an endless summer's eve; Quiet River, a tableau saturated with the verdure that blooms so vividly yet ephemerally in Russia; and Spring Has Arrived, a slushy scene of a log-cabin village huddled under a cold sky early in the season of revival. Another room held reproductions; my favorite was Evening Bells, which shows a green-domed church reigning over a glassy river that winds away into fiery autumnal forests.
Later I wandered down the embankment. The ferry station, a floating wooden structure painted blue and white, creaked on currents glinting with the copper lambency of the expiring day. Levitan died of a heart ailment just shy of his fortieth birthday, but the beauty and tranquillity his works evince pervade Plyos still.
Prince Vladimir of Kiev accepted Christianity from the Byzantine Greeks in A.D. 988. Since then, religion has flowed through the Russian state, becoming intertwined with patriotic sentiment and official ideology. It was from the Monastery of St. Ipaty in Kostroma, forty miles east of Yaroslavl, that the first Romanov czar emerged from hiding, in 1613, to end the Time of Troubles—a fifteen-year interregnum of civil war, invasion, and famine following a disputed succession to the throne—and inaugurate the dynasty that would rule until the Bolshevik Revolution.
Obscurity as a means of enlightenment? I wasn't sure I bought this. So in Bogolyubovo, 120 miles south of Kostroma and my last stop before returning to Moscow, I attended a liturgy one evening in a nineteenth- century cathedral, a soaring structure of whitewashed stone.
There are no pews in Russian Orthodox churches; worshippers must stand. By the second hour of the service I was tired (and dizzy from the incense), but I began to suspect that Larisa was right: the sense of the text was seeping in with repetition. And the rituals seemed almost palpably to be uniting the worshippers, allowing them, perhaps, to forget for a time the trials of the present. The mystery of gloom in the Golden Ring's cathedrals, the enigma of its icons and ancient texts, might, I reflected, be the greatest and most enduring legacy of Old Russia.

I (M15) constantly feel the need to tell my step-mother I love her.
Can a 20 years old date a 16 years old?
I dont want to approach him either.
It seems like when he catches me staring, a few minutes later, he'll do something to get my attention. i dont want to get rejected or think this is all in my head and he doesn't like me back.
I want him to know i like him but at the same time i dont?
Every time i would look around i would randomly see him staring at me BEHIND something. and he would move father away and stare at me from there.
I saw him more than usual that day he caught me staring too lol.
I didn't say anything just looked away and ignored him for the rest of the day.
He walked by me again but this time we were walking past each other, i looked at him but he didn't look at me but he was walking slower than usual.
The more he catches me staring the more he seems like he wants me to talk to him.

Heterogeneity is defined as the quality or state of being diverse in character or content. Heterogeneity drives our diversity as humans via a set of variations in our DNA, resulting in the differences we see in our attributes, senses and ability to live a long, healthy life.
In addition to the genetic variation encoded at birth, changes to our basic genetic blueprint happens throughout our lives. These include changes on the level of single nucleotides (SNPs or SNVs), as well as larger, structural changes —such as chromosomes swapping, duplicating, or losing large sections of genetic material. These modifications affect the way our cells behave and their ability to replicate and survive. BioSkryb enables the study of this process of cellular evolution through a revolutionary new method for whole genome amplification (WGA), called Primary Template-directed Amplification (PTA)1.
WGA makes it possible to perform genomic analysis from single cells and other minute biological specimens. Commonly used methods, such as Degenerate Oligonucleotide-Primed PCR (DOP-PCR),2 Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA),3 Multiple Annealing and Looping Based Amplification Cycles (MALBAC)4, and Linear Amplification via Transposon Insertion (LIANTI),5 have drawbacks such as amplification bias, poor uniformity, errors and artifacts, low genome coverage, inability to address all variant classes, low accuracy, poor reproducibility, and/or complex protocols that are difficult to automate or scale. PTA is a novel, isothermal WGA method that reproducibly captures >95% of the genomes of single cells, in a controlled and more uniform and accurate manner than existing approaches.6 This improves variant calling sensitivity and specificity, lowers sequencing costs, and facilitates bioinformatic analysis.
PTA offers superior coverage and uniformity in single cell WGS. WGA was performed with the PTA-based ResolveDNA™ WGA Kit (left) or with single-cell MDA (right). Plots show a portion of chromosome 1 (100 kb bins). The central area (poorly covered with both methods) corresponds to the centromere.
PTA is a core technology that enables a wide variety of emerging single-cell genomics applications, such as:
Accurate variant analysis (SNPs, indels, SNVs and CNVs) of single cells and sub-nanogram samples
The detection and characterization of minimal residual disease (MRD)
Quantitative, genome-wide assessment of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing at single-cell resolution
Genome assembly and characterization of rare and unculturable microbes
PTA takes advantage of the processivity, strand displacement activity, and low-error rate of phi29 DNA polymerase. An innovative reaction setup employs exonuclease-resistant terminators to create relatively short, double-stranded amplification products that are poor templates for subsequent cycles of amplification. This transforms the reaction from an exponential into a quasi-linear process, during which the majority of amplicons are generated from the primary template. Unlike MDA2, PTA limits the exponential propagation of priming and amplification biases, allelic skewing and other errors from daughter molecules. This results in improved uniformity, coverage and reproducibility, and significantly improved variant call rates.6
How PTA works. PTA may be performed directly from single cells (collected by FACS, microfluidic or other methods), multiple cells, or ultra-low inputs of DNA (>4 pg– 10 ng). After denaturation, random primers (6- to 9-mers) are annealed. Extension with phi29 and a proprietary nucleotide pool results in amplicons of ~250 to >1,500 bp in length. The relatively small size of these amplicons favors subsequent priming off the primary template, thereby limiting the exponential propagation of biases and errors in daughter molecules. In addition, the PTA chemistry suppresses the formation of experimental artifacts such as chimeric molecules and non-specific priming.2 PTA reaction products are double-stranded and may be converted to libraries for multiplexed sequencing on Illumina® or other short-read platforms without fragmentation.

CZ Scorpion EVO S1
CZ EVO Scorpion 9x21 caliber: a new gun called after a dangerous animal, following a trend started in the XV century when the name "colubrine" (snake) was used for the first weapons
Giuliano Cristofani 10/03/2013
Giuliano Cristofani
CZ EVO 9x21
The gun comes with two magazines made in transparent synthetic material and with a capacity of 20 cartridges. The magazines are double-column and it is very easy to charge them
Is there a difference between "Skorpion" and "Scorpion"? The pronunciation is the same and the letter k and c are a spelling difference. Not much, but the actual difference between the CZ Skorpion and CZ Scorpion is huge as the two weapons are completely different.
Perhaps it would be easier if we used their full names: the old Skorpion, infamous in Italy for the bloody events of "Anni di piombo" (the Years of Lead) is called CZ 61 Skorpion, while the more modern version is called "CZ Skorpion Evo 3".
The foldable stock on the right side: its form doesn't interfere with the expulsion of the cartridge case and it allows us to use the gun nonetheless
But what's the actual difference? Now that we've established the differences when it comes to the name, we can move on to the more important characteristics.
We are describing a gun that can be used as a PDW (Personal Defense Weapon), being somewhere between a simple hand gun and a sub machine gun. The latter category is present in its rather large dimensions, even though smaller than typical models (41 centimeters in length and a little over two kilos and a half of weight).
Also, its magazines allow large autonomy of fire, unlike most handguns. All things considered, it took after its sub machine predecessors.
Scorpion Evo can be found in its automatic version (EVO 3 A1) or the semi-automatic version proposed to the civilian markets (EVO 3 S1): the first one has single shooting mode, three-round burst and full-auto, while the civilian one represents the semi-automatic gun without the possibility of transforming mechanisms.
The stock can be removed, transforming the weapon into a larger pistol that is easier to hide
For obvious reasons, we will examine the semi-automatic gun, approved by Gun Association Gardone VT and sold and officially classified in Italy. That reminds us: there was a great confusion created after the infamous Catalogue was published; our EVO was classified three times – the positions being 20, 278 and 440, all in 2013.
An interesting feature of the gun is its folding, adjustable and removable stock; when extended the total length is 66 cm and EVO is transformed into a shoulder gun: the stock dimensions allow a neat heft and the use of the aiming devices, which cannot be said for many Personal Defense Weapons.
The right side of EVO: from the left you can see a safety lever in two positions, the trigger, the magazine release button and dissembling pivot. You can notice a sign honoring the Slovakian designer
The manufacturing company is the great Česká Zbrojovka di Uherský Brod (CZ-UB), famous for its large group of loyal customers, but the roots of our gun aren't Czech but Slovakian, another territory that has serviced various gun lovers for many years.
This origin is very subtly represented: on the right side of the polymeric frame, you can see the plate that says "designed by Laugo" -- Laugo being the designer and the name used by the Slovakian company (the ZVS) that created the prototypes, before handing over the projects to the CZ.
The prismatic bolt extracted from the upper frame. It is very traditional and only a small portion of it goes beyond the barrel
Aside from the possibility to shoot with a closed bolt and an internal hammer, the mechanical structure of EVO is very classical, similar to the one of a regular submachine gun of the second generation with the bolt positioned posteriorly, behind the barrel. The telescopic system, considered useful for eliminating the burns during full-automatic shooting, is not necessary here. If you think about it, we've been told that a modern gun with a blowback mechanism and a rather large bolt needs a telescopic bolt but in the last years, we've seen personal defense weapons with removable plunger behind the chamber, like for example HK USC. The entire structure is the same besides the fact that it has a small anterior plunger: evidently you don't need to do much in order to make a gun controllable and usable even with full-auto without useless complications.
The left side of CZ EVO: notice the captivated pin which enables the dissembling, next to the metallic ring of sling
Smart and modern construction methods have led to the frame being formed by uniting two very simple shells with seven small screw bolts and matching nuts. The two shells are made of a polymeric material which is extremely hard, at least from the outside. The material is so hard we are unsure of the internal structure of the two shells. We believe that the bolt slides could be made of thin metallic laminate and the rest of the synthetic material on top: there are some strange circular signs that seems to be a result of junction and a metallic plate holds an identification number and seems to come out of the polymer which lead us to confirm this theory but we are not able to give you a definite answer because it would have involved cutting the surface which is not a standard procedure for a trial gun, kindly provided to us by Legion Italy of Carrara.
The anterior side of the bolt: it is really well done. We don't understand the purpose of the visible whole on the right side of the base cavity
Bolt was very well made, with clean surfaces and smooth edges; the surface in contact with the base shows a lowered part, the surface of a long and rather large extractor and a passing hole whose purpose we honestly don't seem to understand.
Bellow, we can see the surface of blocking piston of the firing pin: the passive safety was very well designed and the gun has a firing pin safety which can be eliminated by pushing the trigger when a lever is raised before the hammer snap.
When it comes to EVO safeties, aside from the automatic firing pin safety, we can also find a manual lever in two positions, one being near the thumb and the ambidextrous one. The two positions are Fire and Safety and this is how the automatic bolt gets blocked as well.
The safety lever on the two positions is ambidextrous: depending on the way you hold the gun; one lever can touch the index finger and be bothersome
The only issue is the double control options which result useful on one side but almost bothersome on the other: for example the right-handed shooters will find the right snap while in firing position bothersome because it touches the index finger which operates the trigger and we imagine the left-handed shooters would have the analogue problem.
Aside from the expulsion port, located on the right side, EVO is very handy for both right and left handed shooters and all the controls can be found on both sides; all the controls can also be found on the inferior removable block that we will explain later, excluding the activating bolt snap but it is easily reversible.
On the long Picatinny rail located on the upper side of EVO you can find LPA constructed aiming devices: rear sight works both ways
The aiming devices are on the long Picatinny rail which is on top of the receiver: a classical sights that can be adjusted for windage and elevation and a classical front sight, protected by big lateral wings made in Italy by LPA. This is standard but given the fact that they are on the rail, it is very easy to remove, replace or customize them with different products.
In order to buckle the sling, we can use the anterior attachment that can be found on both sides, with a big metal ring attached to it: it looks like a safety of a hand-bomb and the first time you see this gun you have a strange feeling. On the back side you can find an eyelet which is available on the left side only.
The front sight is protected by big metal wings and it can be adjusted for elevation
We we've also analyzed the stock of this rather large gun. As we've mentioned in the beginning, it can be extended, folded and removed: let's see just how this is done.
First of all the stock is made of a synthetic material: the external part has a second component supports the stock. There is a lever in front of it that looks like the one found on M4s in 223. By pushing it, you can extend the stock which is then fixated to fire.
The eyelet for the back of the strap hook and the collapsible stock adjusting button
If you push the big semi-cylindrical button on the bottom of the stock on the left side, you can detach the frame handle and rotate it towards your right side in order to fixate it. When the handle is bent, it is positioned under the expulsion port so as not to interfere with the gun's functioning, and in this position you can find another button which allows you to remove the entire stock from the frame, in this way drastically reducing the transversal size of EVO.
The charging handle: it holds the slide open and it enables the dissembling of the gun
The disassembly of the gun is actually very easy: the selector lever in firing position should be stopped with the charging handle and you can block it by lifting it; then, you can remove the pivot underneath the plate with what looks like a hand-bomb ring, and then you can lower and remove the entire magazine housing which contains the entire shooting mechanism, the safety and the hold-open lever, which can be easily isolated and cleaned.
Once you remove the dissembling pivot, you can remove the lower block which contains all the controls
If you put your finger in the opening created after the removal of the inferior group you can go a little backwards and the bolt can be removed from bellow, in this way revealing the parts that need to be fixated: in the beginning you can be a little afraid to push the recoil spring of the heavy bolt because you may think it will splash who-knows-where but its extraction is actually easy and it is not dangerous; the recoil spring is well fixed to the bolt and it is a polymeric shock absorber.
On the right, recoil spring - captivated type with a buffer, on the left, the internal hammer, located in the lower block
Just like the USP we quoted, the bolt has a rectangular section and can be put in the right position by the walls of the upper frame and the lower group. The bolt has completely smooth sides but there are special grooves that prevent the accumulation of sediments and rubble on the frame sides.
The handle remains on the inside of the polymeric shells, just like the barrel, fixed posteriorly to a big metal block, held by two half shells of the frame; in order to remove the barrel you will need particular utensils so it's not worth trying.
The flash hidder is easily removable. CZ EVO has various Picatinny rails.
CZ Evo has an automatic firing pin safety: if you press the trigger it will come up and the firing pin is free to reach the primer of the cartridge under the hammer strike
If you look at the muzzle, the barrel has a birdcage-shaped muzzle compensator, easily removable if you have a laminate catch that can hold it still; in this way you can set other compensators and opening brakes and if allowed, a gun silencer or suppressor, on EVO.
EVO hand grips are very handy and rather high: they are set by a rail slot to the frame and it is fixated with another passing small screw bolts: the manual shows the possibility to move it closer or further a few millimeters from the trigger guard, allowing you to get a better hold of the gun.
The gun comes with two transparent polymer magazines with the autonomy of twenty cartridges. The magazine is double-column and you can easily insert the cartridge. The magazine extraction is very easy as well.
In conclusion, the CZ Scorpion EVO is a modern and ergonomic gun that has already had a lot of success, especially in military use.
The bolt was adapted in order to carry 9x21 instead of the dangerous 9x19 cartridge
A large metallic plate is used as a strap sling hook
The charging handle, which remains still during the shooting, is easily reversible: all you need to do is to move the pivot a little forwards in order to fix it on the other side
The lower receiver pole is a part of the many Picatinny rails. Note the numerous small bolts that fix the two shells creating the frame of EVO
