Fleshing Out New Dimensions in Bach's Music
Hopkinson Smith, the New York-born lutenist, guitarist and theorbo player has been on the front lines of the early-music movement since the mid-1970s. After co-founding and spending a decade with the ensemble Hespèrion XX, he has gone on to build a solo career espousing the glories of early plucked instruments, long before pop star Sting made the lute trendy. (The theorbo is a now-obsolete bass lute with two sets of strings attached to separate peg boxes, one above the other, on the neck. The biggest difference between the theorbo and the cello, of course, is that as one would do with any lute, one plucks the theorbo rather than using a bow. Think, then, of the cello suites on guitar.)
Smith is no purist when it comes to transcriptions. He has previously arranged and recorded a number of Bach's sonatas and partitas for solo violin. The latest recording is the second of two devoted to Bach's six suites for solo cello, transcribed by Smith for lute.
In the album's liner notes, Smith notes that "transcriptions are not highly thought of," and even "strongly condemned by a whole host of music lovers in the name of historical accuracy and respect for the original work." But he makes the case that the lute brings something new to the table: whereas Bach's cello suites use single melodic lines to suggest all of the elements of the musical structure (harmony, potential base and intermediary parts), the lute, a harmony instrument, fleshes out these dimensions.
Smith plays the elaborate prelude of the Suite No. 4, with a stately sense of purpose. He proceeds with a lyrical Sarabande, pleasant bourrees and a whirling Gigue. In the Suite No. 6 he is especially convincing in the formidably technical Courante. The album includes Bach's own lute arrangement of his Cello Suite No. 5, still preserved in an autograph manuscript and played with gentle authority
Hopkinson Smith is now the only artist to have recorded all Bach works that can be performed on plucked instruments: L'oeuvre de luth (E3000), the Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 (E8678) and the 6 Suites BWV 1007-1012. About the Sonatas and Partitas recording, Gramophone wrote: "Hopkinson Smith makes such a good case for Bach's Sonatas and Partitas on the lute that his recording is arguably the best you can buy of these works–on any instrument."
BACH: SUITES NOS. 4, 5 AND 6
Hopkinson Smith
Bach, Cello Suite #6 in D
'Bach's writing in these suites is as varied and inventive as ever. Melodious, boisterous, amazingly delicate, expansively lyrical, then cleverly busy with detail in complicated figuration… I see my intention in arranging for a plucked instrument as a challenge to approach 'what Bach himself might have done' in adapting a piece from one medium to another. No one can ever know for sure, of course, but familiarity with his chamber music and keyboard works gives clues. Where the cello writing is melodious with occasional chords, the plucked instrument can provide a fuller accompaniment.' –Hopkinson Smith
An Interlude with Hopkinson Smith
'I think it's worth listening to the more peaceful approach, the more non-violent approach that the lute can bring to these works.'
I want to be sure to ask about the transcriptions of works by J.S. Bach.
I made a recording which came out at the beginning of the Bach Year 2000 of my lute versions of The Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Bach. I prefer not to use the words "lute transcriptions of the originals for violin." I prefer to circumvent the issue by saying 'lute versions of pieces based on the violin versions', because the violin versions themselves are so often not born on the instrument themselves, but come from some musical ideal above and beyond any instrument. In Bach's lifetime, some of these works were adapted for other instruments by Bach himself, and by instrumentalists in his circle including his son and son-in-law. So it seems a natural extension of these works themselves to try them on the lute. There's an interesting anecdote, related by a contemporary of Bach, that often in the evenings he would sit down at the clavichord and play the Sonatas and Partitas for Violin, extemporizing the voices and harmonies which are impossible on the violin. It's no mystery to a lute player why he would choose the clavichord, because of all the keyboard instruments, this is the one with the musical language closest to the lute in terms of touch, dynamics and intimacy. The work I did with the Sonatas and Partitas took me several years, and I played them all in concert before I recorded them. It was an extremely creative and gratifying project because when one is playing so much Bach, one sort of lives artistically–and I think a little bit in some other way–on a different plane of existence. As Stravinsky said, "Bach is our greatest European composer," and I think almost anyone would agree. There are so many instances in the Sonatas and Partitas, especially in contrapuntal passages, where the music seems to be almost not for the violin, but against the violin. Often the violinist is reduced to an awkwardness of bowing, trying to play different voices at the same time with a bow primarily intended for playing a single line on single string. Although there are other examples of polyphonic playing on the violin from Germany in the generation before Bach, the demands of the Sonatas and Partitas really seem to go beyond the instrument in several cases. Anyway, I think it's worth listening to the more peaceful approach, the more non-violent approach that the lute can bring to these works.
Didn't Bach write some works for the lute?
Except for one little piece, all of the Lute Suites by Bach are adaptations in one form or another of pieces which were conceived for another medium, such as the unaccompanied violin or cello. Other pieces are in mainly keyboard collections, and so forth. The Fifth Cello Suite, for instance, is very different from all the others, and so it's very interesting to study. It's essential to study what Bach has done, but it won't give you necessarily specific solutions for the other cello suites.
Hopkinson Smith: 'I think there is certainly room for as much variety of personal approach in our days as there was in those days.'
Would it give you an idea of what path to take, perhaps?
Yes. It can stimulate your creativity, it's true. About the Fifth Cello Suite, cellists will often say, "Oh yes, this is the one that's got a different tuning; it's a different style of composing." They might even think he conceived it for the lute and then adapted it for the cello, but we know that the cello suites were conceived in the early 1720's, and although we don't have a score of the Cello Suites in Bach's hand, we know the dating. The score we have of his adaptation of the C Minor Suite for the Lute in G minor is actually in Bach's hand, and it looks like the rough copy that he used to write it out the first time. The watermark on the paper was from the period 1727 to 1731, so the paper, at least, was later than the cello version. It's of course possible that both pieces were originally based on another model which hasn't survived, but at least for the cello/lute question, it seems to be fairly clear that the cello version was there before the lute version was.
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ciaconna (Part 1) from Partita II BWV 1004 in D minor, from the Hopkinson Smith album, Sonatas and Partitas (2000). '..when one is playing so much Bach, one sort of lives artistically–and I think a little bit in some other way–on a different plane of existence,' says Smith.
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ciaconna (Part 2) from Partita II BWV 1004 in D minor, from the Hopkinson Smith album, Sonatas and Partitas (2000)
Is it at all odd to be living now in the twenty-first century and still be playing music from two, three, four and five centuries previous?
HS: That's a question that people ask sometimes. It seems like a perfectly natural thing for me. It may seem odd to somebody else, but it seems perfectly natural to me, because whatever you do as a musician, in the best moments it is a completely contemporary expression. The music should have such an immediacy and clarity, and such a connection to the performer's creativity and sincerity as an artist, that the question of the epoch in which the music was conceived becomes of secondary importance in terms of the basic message that is there.
Do you enhance this message at all, or do you bring exactly the message as it was put down on the paper?
What you try to do, always, is go beyond what you see on the paper to find the real spirit of the music, which is behind any particular notation. From the outside, it may seem that people who play early music on historical instruments, use historical technique, play music according to the rules set down in the Baroque or the Renaissance periods–all these different things which seem like a kind of rigorous set of postulates that one must follow are actually are just normally part of the language. For instance, if you're reading Shakespeare, does it bother you that the sentences fall into a certain rhythm? Does it bother you that there are subjects and verbs in the sentences? No. These are things that are naturally part of the language, and his language is an eloquence and reflection that no one would actually use in this particular form today. But it's so intimately connected with the expression and the sort of nobility of reflection that he incorporates, that this is all one and the same. In the best of moments, I think one should experience no limits at all in a certain instrument or a certain period, but rather find total freedom. What we're trying to do is find and communicate this total freedom, and at the same time liberate the spirit that is behind it.
J.S. Bach, Partita No. 1 in A minor BWV.1002, original tone in B minor. Hopkinson Smith, lute, from his album Sonatas & Partitas (2000)
How much is the music and the liberation, and how much is Hopkinson Smith?
Everybody has his own approach and every instrumentalist has his own sound, and every instrumentalist has an instrument through which his voice takes shape and becomes real. I don't think of it in terms of these categories–how much is the music and how much is me, for instance. But I think there is certainly room for as much variety of personal approach in our days as there was in those days. Just to elaborate a little bit on that point, there is a lute treatise from the seventeenth century, the Mary Burwell Lute Book. Mary Burwell was an English woman who had lute lessons with someone who had studied with the legendary Vieux (Ennemond) Gaultier, who was the patron saint of all French lute players in the seventeenth century. At one point in the book she lists the main players, apart from Gaultier, who were active at the time. These were all composers and performers, and she gives a caricature of each one of these performers… "This person should only have played at funerals and burials because his playing was so somber and morose; this person should have been an organist because he was so pedantic in the way he played; this person played too well because he added ornaments and tirades and what-all wherever he could, and the music was completely obscured; this player should have gone to the marketplace and accompanied the dancing bears because he made so much noise and such a racket," etcetera, etcetera.
It sounds like these items should have appeared in the Daily Gazette! [Both laugh]
Yes. On the one side it shows that musicians spoke as badly of each other in those days as they do today, but more importantly it shows that the idea of a French school of interpretation, on a very individual level, is a complete fiction. It shows that there were so many different approaches to something that we consider to be of one "French school" of the seventeenth century.
Are all these approaches right?
They're all valid. It's also valid to say that not every one of these approaches will please you or me, so if you're looking for right and wrong, this is not the place to do it. There's no room for a moral judgment here, but there's plenty of room for openness of spirit and for trying to understand many different ways of doing things.

Part 3 of Boyce Lancaster's interview with Hopkinson Smith, who talks about one his mentors, Emilio Pujol, and about connecting with inner musicality and instruments.
Is there much, if any, music for your instruments being written today by other composers?
There are contemporary composers who write for the lute and other early instruments, and actually there are some performers who specialize mainly in this. I'm always interested to see what people are doing. I have piles of compositions that composers have sent me at home, and I've played through them all. Normally I'm in touch with the composers about how I feel about them, but my heart is more in the earlier repertoires, and that's still how I basically nourish myself artistically.
Without mentioning any names, do any of these contemporary composers get it?
A good composer–one who knows the instrument–certainly has something interesting to say. I wouldn't say they get it or they don't get it. I wouldn't actually put it in a kind of black and white situation, but there are some interesting things happening.
From his 2012 album, Bach Suites nos. 1, 2, 3, Hopkinson Smith performs Prelude do la Suite Bwv 1007
But mostly you continue to bring to life the old composers and keep them alive?
Yes. The lute and the early plucked instruments in general have a vast repertoire for quite a few different instruments from about 1500 to the middle of the eighteenth century. There is so much music that one could easily spend several lifetimes investigating historically. Above all, something that takes much more time with the instrument in the hand is really finding the essence of a style, and a composer and individual pieces. One could spend an enormous amount of time really bringing this to fruition. A small part of the work that I do, actually, is bibliographical and historical, actually looking for sources here and there. Much more of what I do is playing over and over certain pieces, certain phrases, trying to find the expression which really seems to come from the music itself. This is something that just takes ages. Dowland himself, in the introduction to his Variety of Lute Lessons, where he translates a section on how to study the lute, says that when you have a difficult piece you shouldn't go over from the beginning to the end each time and play right through, but you should stick with it and work on it; go over and over the passages that are enigmatic, even if it's a thousand times until "thou sees thyself prettily seen within it." That means until you find yourself really reflected in the passage you're playing, or, in our way of expressing it, until I can identify with everything in the piece. In our day and age where everything else is so automatic and so quick, and at the push of a button we have this information or that information, this is one aspect of studying music that has not changed in hundreds or thousands of years, and I don't imagine will change in the future either.

Q: How to ignore safe area for a background with a linear gradient in swiftUI? With SwiftUI, I know how to set a background with a simple color all over screen. So only background ignore the safe area. But when I want to do this with a linear gradient, I don't know do this.
My view with a simple background :
import SwiftUI

struct Settings : View {
  var body: some View {
    ScrollView {
        VStack {
          Text("Boussole")
            .color(Color(red: 52/255, green: 73/255, blue: 94/255, opacity: 1.0))
            .multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
            .font(.system(size: 28))
            .padding(.top, 15)
            .frame(minWidth: 0, maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
          Toggle(isOn: .constant(false)) {
            Text("Afficher le vrai nord")
              .font(.system(size: 20))
              .color(Color(red: 52/255, green: 73/255, blue: 94/255, opacity: 1.0))
          }
          .padding(.top, 10)
          Toggle(isOn: .constant(true)) {
            Text("Activer la vibration")
              .font(.system(size: 20))
              .color(Color(red: 52/255, green: 73/255, blue: 94/255, opacity: 1.0))
          }
          .padding(.top, 10)
          .padding(.bottom, 20)
          Divider()
        }
      .padding(.leading, 25)
      .padding(.trailing, 25)
    }
    .background(Color.gray.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all))
  }
}

So in this case, the safe area is ignored only for the background.
But how can I do this with this type of background ?
.background(LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [Color(red: 189/255, green: 195/255, blue: 199/255, opacity: 1.0), .white]), startPoint: .topTrailing, endPoint: .bottomLeading), cornerRadius: 0)

I don't know how to place .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)

A: Although this doesn't apply to the OP, in cases where the linear gradient's color changes are strictly vertical (i.e. startPoint is .top and endPoint is .bottom), then as an alternative to Mojtaba's solution, you can add a second (and third) .background using the Colors at the top and bottom of your gradient.
So,
.background(LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.red, .blue]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom), cornerRadius: 0)

Could become,
.background(LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.red, .blue]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom), cornerRadius: 0)
.background(Color(.red).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.top))
.background(Color(.white).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.bottom))

This will work in portrait mode, not sure about landscape though!

A: You should use ZStack. Also, note that the LinearGradient is a View itself and there is no need to embed it in background modifier. So:
var body: some View {
    ZStack {
        LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.red, .orange]), startPoint: .topTrailing, endPoint: .bottomLeading)
            .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)

        ScrollView {
            VStack {
                ForEach((1...100), id:\.self ) { Text("\($0)").padding() }
            }
        }
    }
}

A: This should fix the bottom trail for iPhone X, XS, 11 and so on
struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.black,.blue]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom).edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
            Text("The only label")
        }
    }
}

Thank you for the opportunity to address you all today.
The last few years have been some of the more challenging in New Zealand's history. In the space of five short years we have endured the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, the worst drought in 70 years, and of course the devastating series of earthquakes in the Canterbury region.
But we have largely weathered this storm, and while there will no doubt be further hurdles along the way, the future is looking bright for New Zealand.
This year, GDP growth is tracking at 3.5%; exports for the primary sector are $5 billion ahead of forecasts; and the Government is on track to reach a surplus next year.
I believe the leadership of Prime Minister John Key and Finance Minister Bill English has helped to steady the ship, and bring the economy on a path to recovery.
But it is the people sitting here in this room that have pushed New Zealand along the path of recovery – farmers from all over New Zealand. Whether it be sheep, beef, dairy, horticulture, or any other primary industries, it is thanks to farmers doing their job, and doing it well, that New Zealand's future is looking bright. I want to personally acknowledge this contribution you all make to the New Zealand economy.
You don't get thanked enough for doing the hard yards and producing our fine meat products that are showcased and consumed around the world.
Today I'd like to do three things. Firstly I'd like to briefly outline some of the things this government is doing to help farmers to continue to thrive. Secondly, I'd like to talk about my vision for the red meat sector. And finally I'd like to address the on-going discussions around the structure of the industry.
I am a firm believer that the Government's role is as an enabler. The Government does things that help farmers to continue to prosper. That is why we have set an overall goal to double our primary sector exports to $64 billion by 2025.
Once again it will be farmers that do the hard yards to enable this. But the Government can help. I have a set of priorities to achieve this.
Biosecurity is my number one priority, and will remain my number one priority as long as I am Minister. A key focus for me in this area is to increase resources at the border, and we have added over one hundred positions over the last year or so with more to come.
We will also implement government industry agreements (GIAs), and ensure that MPI's and the industry's FMD preparedness programme is on track.
We are also continuing to develop export opportunities. I will talk a bit more about this later in the speech, but can I assure this room that we are doing everything we can to increase access for our products into a range of countries including the TPP countries (worth 45% of New Zealand's total trade), and also Taiwan, Latin America, and the Gulf States.
Last week I was in the Middle East where we are developing an agribusiness service hub in Saudi Arabia to showcase Kiwi know-how and technology. There's great potential for exporting chilled lamb into this region, and we will be pushing for New Zealand to become a supplier of choice.
We are addressing what has long been realised as a huge gap from successive governments in primary-sector innovation investment. I will talk specifically about the red meat sector later, but I am proud to say that together the government and a range of industries have now committed to invest over $700 million in 17 new and exciting innovation projects through the Primary Growth Partnership (PGP).
After last year's drought there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that as a nation we desperately need more irrigation infrastructure. What New Zealand has is a water storage issue, not a water shortage issue. That is why this government has committed to investing up to $400 million in irrigation infrastructure.
Yesterday I visited the Waikato and the countryside is looking extremely parched. I will be watching the situation over the next few weeks very closely.
We are also helping to realise Māori agribusiness potential. Iwi own 1.5 million hectares with 300,000 ha under full production. The remaining land has huge productivity potential which MPI is working alongside of Iwi to develop.
A recent report confirmed that lifting the productivity of this land could result in an $8 billion increase in exports and create a further 3,600 jobs.
There are many challenges and opportunities in the Red Meat sector.
This sector has been one of continual change, mostly for the good. This change has been as a result of innovations, new market demands, and changing environments.
By way of example, the massive change of deregulation and subsidy removal in the 1980s led to new efficiencies driven by farmers. So while we saw a reduction in New Zealand's sheep flock from 72 million in 1984 to 31 million now, we produce the same amount of meat with less than half the flock size.
This confirms to me how farmers are innovators, adopting new technology inside the farm gate and lifting productivity and returns.
To provide more context of the scale of change we are facing - growth in our trade to China increased by 45% last year alone.
We need to be aware of these changes, and we need to adjust and adapt to make the most of them.
I'm aware that you are voting on whether remaining wool levies held by Beef + Lamb be used to fund a business case for a wool levy under the Commodity Levies Act 1990, to establish a new industry partnership called Beef + Lamb New Zealand Genetics, and support for additional funding for the Meat Industry Excellence Group (MIE).
I will be watching the voting results with interest.
So how is the red meat sector doing?
Not a week goes by where I don't hear how dairy is taking over the sector; how the red meat sector is on a downward spiral; and how New Zealand is becoming one giant dairy farm.
This is not what New Zealand wants, and it is not what I want.
I am optimistic about the red meat sector's future.
Last month I released the updated MPI forecasts for primary sector exports. These figures show that the meat industry is having a pretty good year, with exports projecting $1.2 billion higher than initially forecast.
The main driver of the change in forecast values is the increase in lamb export value, which rose by almost 40% over the original forecast. This was primarily caused by increased demand from China.
An additional driver is that volume of production didn't dip as much as expected as a result of last year's drought. Basically pregnancy rates for ewes were higher than expected and lamb growth rates were impressive. Beef returns have also been very solid.
Having said that, I do want to acknowledge that the industry does have some serious challenges. I also want to acknowledge that times are tough for some of you out there. I'm not going to pretend that life is all rosy and well for everyone. What I do want to do though is focus on solutions and a plan to lift the performance of the industry as a whole.
We will not improve the profitability of this sector by doing more of the same, or by simply by selling more of the same. We need to innovate, collaborate, and develop market opportunities.
New Zealand has a proud history of innovation in this sector. But we need to do more. That is why this Government has committed the most funding of innovation in the red meat sector in recent history. In total through the PGP the government and industry are investing $326 million into the sector.
This investment is expected to generate around $2 billion in benefits to the New Zealand economy.
The range of projects is vast and exciting. From farm management systems in the Farm IQ programme, to turning traditionally low value offcut products into higher value added products in areas such ingredients and health products in the Food Plus programme.
These projects are cutting edge and are already showing great progress in delivering more profitability into the red meat sector.
We need to do a better job of collaborating as a sector. I know that commercial realities mean this is not possible all the time, but there is no excuse to not pursue NZ Inc approaches on certain initiatives, particularly in-market.
Once again the PGP has made a start on this. One programme has co-investors including the Alliance Group, Silver Fern Farms, ANZCO Foods, Blue Sky Meats, Greenlea Premier Meats, Progressive Meats, Beef + Lamb New Zealand, ANZ Bank and Rabobank.
Here we have in one collaborative project a large proportion of the key players in the industry sitting around the same table, including both cooperatives. This is very exciting and could be a great start for even more collaboration.
We also need to invest in additional human resources in our key and emerging markets. I have taken on board the learnings of the last year and that is why MPI is putting six more staff into China, one more each into Jakarta and Dubai, with another four more positions to be announced.
It is vital that we have enough people in these markets to broaden our presence, to deepen relationships, and to be on hand should anything go wrong.
I am keen to see more industry representation in these key and emerging markets. The Government can only do so much for the industry, we need you to be working alongside us.
Before I move on I want to make one final point.
If we don't talk about the good stuff we are doing no one else will. Just from scanning the rural publications I note that Silver Fern Farms are beginning online distribution in Shanghai, New Zealand cricketers are pitching in for marketing into India, and the Silere branded merino meat was a huge hit at the America's Cup in San Francisco.
The best way to put a sector into a downward spiral is to consistently talk doom and gloom. It is not true that the meat industry is on the way out. This industry is capable of truly leading the world in its innovative and profitable approach to selling high quality meat.
I will continue to back this sector and I will continue to acknowledge the great success stories. We need to hear even more pride and passion from everyone involved.
Can I acknowledge and congratulate the MIE for the hard work and dedication they are showing, with members taking time out of their day jobs to pursue a cause they truly believe in.
Getting MIE farmers elected onto the cooperative boards has been a success that needs to be acknowledged. I wish them well with the remit vote.
I would like to say a few words on the structure of the industry.
My role as Minister is to listen to, to act on behalf of, and to support, this sector.
So I now publicly reiterate statements that I have made in a variety of forums. If a significant portion of the sector, and this means across the whole sector come together with a solution of how they want to better the industry, my door is open. I will listen and I will do what I can to support the sector.
Any substantial change needs to come with a very clear and very broad level of support. I am not prepared to interfere in the structure of a sector without the support of that sector. The Government doesn't own the industry – you do.
I doubt that anyone in this room wants the heavy hand of government dreaming up bureaucratic solutions that haven't come from the ground up.
This is an industry where farmers can have a say. For example, the two farmer run cooperatives have over 50% market share in New Zealand.
It seems very clear to me that if an overwhelming majority of people want change, there is the ability to bring it about.
Before I conclude I'd like to address the proposal of a meat industry summit.
I encourage all members of this industry to collaborate, to talk, and to resolve issues.
I don't think anyone wants another talk fest or a meeting where only a few turn up and those that do aren't prepared to fully engage. I believe any meaningful event must have the commitment of all the players of the industry including MIE, Beef and Lamb, MIA, Federated Farmers, the processors, and the banks.
If the MIE or any other group organises a pan-industry summit, committed to resolving issues in the sector I will commit to attending and engaging in this summit.
In fact, I will even offer to find a suitable venue.
This is your industry, and the industry's future is vital, not just to us here in the room but to New Zealand. I am committed to doing what I can to support the industry's continued success.

Brazil condemns Barcelona terror attack
Added On August 18, 2017
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, which has killed 13 people and wounded more than 100 others earlier in the day.
Brazil reiterated its condemnation of all acts of terrorism, regardless of their motivation, and expressed deep sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speed recovery to the injured, it said in a statement.
Attackers driving a van mowed through crowds of tourists on one of Barcelona's busiest thoroughfares Thursday.
At least four and possibly five suspects were killed early Friday morning in Cambrils, a town about 120 km south of Barcelona, in a raid which police said foiled another terror plot linked to the deadly van attack in Barcelona.

5 years of Paris Agreement: PM Modi to address Climate Ambition Summit today
By ANI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the global climate summit on December 12.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the global climate summit today on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, said Prakash Javadekar, Union Minister of Environment on Friday.
The United Nations, United Kingdom and France will be holding Climate Ambition Summit 2020, in partnership with Chile and Italy today, five years since the adoption of the Paris Agreement.
The Summit will be highlighting the fast-growing coalition of countries, cities, regions, businesses and investors committing to net-zero emissions and boosting ambition in climate finance, and resilience and adaptation said an official statement.
It further said, "The Summit will feature leading examples of countries producing concrete near-term plans and policies to deliver on their longer-term climate ambition, highlighting the work ahead for other countries to deliver new Nationally Determined Contributions through 2021 in advance of COP26." "The Summit is a major step on the road to the next UN Climate Conference, COP26, which will be hosted by the UK next November in Glasgow. It will provide leaders with a global platform to showcase commitments to tackle climate change," the statement read.
The Summit will also be giving a platform to the business, sub-national governments and civil society, including youth, indigenous and faith-based climate champions.
Besides, there will be speeches from co-convenors UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, President of France Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister of Italy Giuseppe Conte, President of Chile Sebastian Pinera, COP26 President-Designate Alok Sharma, and dozens of other world leaders who will present ambitious climate commitments.
The Paris accord, adopted in 2015 and signed a year later, is designed to boost greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation worldwide. Its main goals include keeping the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), and efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees in a bid to reduce the impact and risks of climate change.

Business cheers Ramaphosa's plan to reopen South Africa economy
By Staff May 26, 2020 May 25, 2020
Leave a Comment on Business cheers Ramaphosa's plan to reopen South Africa economy
South African business leaders lauded the government's plan to substantially ease a nationwide lockdown that's crippled the economy, even as the number of the coronavirus cases grows exponentially.
An additional 8 million people will be allowed to return to work when the national disease-alert level drops one notch from June 1, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Sunday night. His administration abandoned previous plans to maintain more stringent restrictions in several cities and towns hardest hit by the disease, but cautioned it's still an option.
Like other African nations including Nigeria and Ghana, South Africa is relaxing its rules when cases are still on an upward trajectory — a third of its 22,583 infections were diagnosed in the past week alone. But with job losses and business closures skyrocketing and the central bank anticipating a 7% economic contraction this year, Ramaphosa acknowledged that maintaining the lockdown had become unsustainable.
"We believe that the decision announced by the president is best for the country given where we find ourselves now," Sipho Pityana, the president of lobby group Business Unity South Africa, said in a statement. "It is time for many of us to return to work, but to do so in as safe way as possible."
Africa's most-industrialized economy went into lockdown on March 27, with only grocers, pharmacies and suppliers of essential services allowed to keep operating. The rules were relaxed May 1, but many businesses have remained partially or completely shut.
While the government had previously been accused of taking arbitrary decisions, its response now appears to be based on a rational analysis of the available options to protect the economy and fight the pandemic, said Busi Mavuso, chief executive officer of lobby group Business Leadership South Africa.
Ramaphosa has "shown great leadership in resetting the course of government's response when it has become clear that it is needed," she said in her weekly newsletter. "The shift to level three next week is important and welcome. It will allow more of the economy to reopen and for people to earn a living."
Under the new rules, limited alcohol sales for home use will be allowed to resume, while a night-time curfew and a restriction on when people can exercise will be dropped. Tobacco sales will remain banned because of the health risks associated with smoking. Eat-in restaurants, bars, sporting venues, places of worship and conference centers will also be barred from reopening.
Wine and spirits maker Distell Group Holdings Ltd. expressed concern that only a limited number of alcohol outlets will be allowed to resume trading and that curtailing their opening hours times could result in overcrowding.
The industry is in talks with government about allowing smaller bars and counter-service outlets to be converted into alcohol collection points to increase ease of access, and wants normal trading hours to resume, Richard Rushton, the company's chief executive officer, said in an interview.
While the reopening of the economy is welcome, the announcement was six weeks overdue, said John Steenhuisen, the acting leader of the main opposition Democratic Alliance.
"There was no rational justification to extend the hard lockdown beyond the initial three weeks, and this extension has now caused irreparable damage to our economy," he said. "The resulting hardship and suffering –- and ultimately, the premature deaths of South African citizens due to this" could have been avoided, he said.

HomePress ReleasesKnights Party Press Release: July 9. 2021
July 9, 2021 Paul Brown Press Releases 0
One example of how innocent people are harmed by the homosexual agenda in America was reported by The Daily Signal, on Wednesday, July 7th, with this headline, "Naked Man in Women's Spa Locker Room Shows Consequences of Transgender Policies."
There was nothing relaxing about a trip to Los Angeles' upscale Wi Spa on July 3. The ordinarily calm atmosphere was interrupted by a bitter protest over the shop's transgender policy, which allowed a man to expose himself in the women's locker room—to the shock and disgust of female clients.
In a video that exploded across social media, an irate customer demanded to know why it's OK "for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around the other women, young little girls, underage. Your spa, Wi Spa, condones that? He is a man. He is not a woman."
"There are girls down there," the woman said angrily, "other women who are highly offended by what they just saw—and you did nothing. You sided with him."
National Director of the Knights Party, based in Harrison, Arkansas, Thomas Robb said, "The final objective of the LGBTQ+ agenda taking place in America is legalized pedophilia. What would've happened if a female child would've been alone in this locker room? This should've been, and I believe it was, expected to happen. When all a man needs to do to enter a female locker, or restroom is put on a dress, this is going to happen. By allowing these things, it opens the door for children to be molested, and women to be raped. This has nothing to do with homosexual rights, but it has everything to do with you losing yours! You are being forced to come face to face with these sexually immoral deviants. Remember this, by accepting the sexual deviant, you're as good as commiting the sin of homosexuality yourself.If you don't think so, remember the city of Sodom spoken of in Holy Scripture. Not everyone in the city was a sodomite. Nevertheless, God punished all of the inhabitants because they were either practicing homosexuals or they tolerated it."

I came across an ASAP paper today describing substructure searching in Oracle databases. The paper comes from the folks at J & J and is part of their series of papers on the ABCD platform. Performing substructure searches in databases is certainly not a new topic and various products are out there that support this in Oracle (as well as other RDBMSs). The paper describes how the ABCD system does this using a combination of structure-derived hash keys and an inverted bitset based index and discuss their implementation as an Oracle cartridge. They provide an interesting discussion of how their implementation supports Cost Based Optimization of SQL queries involving substructure search. The authors run a number of benchmarks. In terms of comparative benchamrks they compare the performance (i.e., screening efficiency) of their hashed keys versus MACCS keys, CACTVS keys and OpenBabel FP2 fingerprints. Their results indicate that the screening step is a key bottleneck in the query process and that their hash key is generally more selective than the others.
Unfortunately, what would have been interesting but was not provided was a comparison of the performance at the Oracle query level with other products such as JChem Cartridge and OrChem. Furthermore, the test case is just under a million molecules from Golovin & Henrick – the entire dataset (not just the keys) could probably reside in-memory on todays servers. How does the system perform when say faced with PubChem (34 million molecules)? The paper mentions a command line implementation of their search procedure, but as far as I can tell, the Oracle cartridge is not available.
The ABCD system has many useful and interesting features. But as with the other publications on this system, this paper is one more in the line of "Papers About Systems You Can't Use or Buy". Unfortunate.

Steph Curry Returning To Ellie Mae Classic
AuthorDan Hauser
Steph Curry made plenty of headlines off the basketball court last year when he was given, and accepted, a sponsors invitation to play in the Ellie Mae Classic on the Web.com Tour. Well, it looks like he going to return again this year and give it another try.
On Monday, the tournament announced that it will once again be extending a sponsors invitation to Curry to play in the annual Tour stop just outside of San Fransisco. At the time of the event last year, Curry had been only the second pro athlete to ever tee it up in an all pro tournament. Curry went on to shoot rounds of 74-74 to miss the cut, but brought a lot of eyballs to an event that normally would not have recieved much fan fare.
"The players on the Web.com Tour welcomed me with open arms in 2017, and it was an amazing experience to play with up-and-coming PGA Tour stars inside the ropes at TPC Stonebrae," Curry said in a statement. "I have been fortunate to be a member of an incredible team in the Golden State Warriors, and I was elated to feel that same level of camaraderie onsite last year. Golf is a game that has provided wonderful experiences in my life, and I am excited to return to the Ellie Mae Classic in August."
Curry is no stranger to teeting it up in competion. In addition to being a scratch golfer, he has become quite the competior on the celebrity circut as well.
The Ellie Mae Classic will be held August 6-12. Unfortunaltely though for the second year in a row, there is no television coverage planned.

La Tontouta International Airport is New Caledonia's only international airport. The airport is located 52km northwest of the French territory's capital, Noumea. La Tontouta serves as the hub for flag carrier, Aircalin. The airport is operated by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New Caledonia.


City of Melville Mayor Russell Aubrey.
He cited problems raised in quiet suburban streets such as Kitchener, Bridges and Birdwood roads by developments being permitted to significantly exceed their intended R-coding of R30 under the code provisions and the significant impost they have on neighbouring residential amenity.
The mayor called for chief executive Shayne Silcox urgently to prepare a report for council investigating the consequences of re-introducing a minimum plot area for multi-unit developments coded R40 and below.
Presently the housing code comes into effect for developments coded R30.
Mr Aubrey said the WA Planning Commission was reviewing its R-code legislation so that the multi unit housing code would kick in at R40. However, he felt that the Local Planning Scheme should limit it to R50 and above.
'With the Willagee Structure Plan, with large-scale R40 proposed going out for advertising next month, immediate action is called for to prevent what has been referred to by my colleagues on the WAPC as the 'unintended consequences' of the MUHC impacting on quiet residential neighbourhoods,' he said.
Mr Aubrey told council that the WAPC's amendment was a blanket approach and could not be relied upon to meet the needs of all individual local governments areas.
Stirling and Vincent are also expressing concerns regarding the intrusion of high-density development that has resulted in their suburban streets. The WAPC amendment, out for public comment, states 'it was not the intent to undermine the amenity and character or low-medium density suburbs'.
'With council's support I hope to raise the bar higher in Melville so that R40 is also precluded and thus all suburban streets are freed from this blight that has caused so much concern and heartache,' the mayor said.
The report is expected to be presented at the October council meeting.

Q: create indices by standardising variables I have 257 variables, which influence behaviour altruism of humans. They can be assigned to the 3 following criteria: internal, external or selection. I check the influence of the individual variable on altruism, further I need to check the influence of all variables, which are part of internal. Can I just standardise these variables and then take the mean of them and consider this as an index?

A: As Gung said, we should know a lot more about your situation to give a really useful specific answer. Anyway, I'll try to give a general one.
The altruistic behaviour you are interested in may be influenced by some of your 257 variables. You need to know which variables do influence altruism, and therefore you should resort to tools like regression or ANOVA that could tell you which variables have a significant influence on altruism. Please notice that such tools check influence of every variable - at least, every variable you tryed to include in your analysis.
However, if you use an index (which in your proposal is just a single linear combination of your variables out of the infinite amount of linear combinations you could use), you will lose a lot of information, and the influence of single variables can be cancelled by the influence of other variables or just get lost in the sum.
Just to put an invented example with two variables: Let's imagine that people with more body weight are more altruistic, and that tall people is less altruistic that short people. If you ran a regression analysis you would find significant positive correlation between body weight and altruism and negative correlation between height and altruism - and that would be what you were searching for. Although, if instead of using body weight and height you use an index made of the (standardized) sum of both, the effects might be cancelled - that is, the most altruistic people (short people with overweight) will get about the same index value as the less altruistic ones (tall slim people), and therefore you wouldn't be likely to find any correlation between your index and altruism.
In summary, if you have a lot of variables, use tools to tell which of them have influence. You may design a useful index if you have good reasons to build it in a particular way, but if you just take an arbitrary index like the standardized sum of all variables, you are just losing information - a lot of information.


From the heights of its hill, the ancient hamlet of Torrita di Siena looks out over western Valdichiana. Acting as a watch post guarding what at one time was the Republic of Siena, the town takes its name from its ancient architectural features: the old fortress was surrounded by imposing curtain walls featuring four square towers and four entry portals. Set in the luxuriant brush vegetation of Tuscany, amidst the scents marking the area's extraordinary traditional recipes, Torrita di Siena is well worth a visit, starting from its historic centre with brick-built houses, breathing out the atmosphere of days gone by. A strategic point for visits to the surrounding area, Torrita di Siena is well connected to other important centres such as Siena, Arezzo, Perugia and Florence.
To experience to the full the Medieval atmosphere amidst the colourful tints of Torrita di Siena, we suggest you choose one of the stylish hotels set in the nearby valleys, such as Val d'Orcia or Montefollonico, true gems of Medieval Tuscany.
Here the spring period is especially attractive. The mild temperatures, lush vegetation and the tastes and flavours of the land make Torrita di Siena the ideal place to await the return of the swallows.

Bottle & Bottega Campbell Receives Top Honor
Local Art and Wine Studio Receives "The Picasso" Award for Top Sales in the Franchise System
CAMPBELL, Calif. – Bottle & Bottega Campbell is in a class of its own.
Stacy and Ed Khanishian, owners of Bottle & Bottega Campbell, were recently awarded for their outstanding sales during the brand's annual convention in Chicago. Bottle & Bottega presented the entrepreneurial couple with "The Picasso" award for showing the greatest increase in sales during the past 12 months.
"We are thrilled to be recognized for our sales," said Stacy, co-owner of Bottle & Bottega Campbell (2125 S Winchester Blvd Suite 110). "We're so grateful for the amazing customers that come into our door each and every day. We love serving the community through our studio and look forward to connecting with locals in the future."
One part artistic adventure and one part cocktail party, Bottle & Bottega brings out the creative side in everyone regardless of skill or practice. Through a blend of hands-on art sessions, on-site professional instruction and, of course, a glass of wine, Bottle & Bottega helps guests create a masterpiece that they can be proud to take home.
"We couldn't have achieved this accomplishment without the help of our amazing team," added Stacy. "The execution that happens behind the scenes and the guidance that our talented instructors give is what allows us to make every experience exceptional for the customer."
The brand's iconic painting parties are perfect for teambuilding outings, adult birthday parties, baby showers and nursery murals, bachelorette parties, girls night out events and couples showers.
"Stacy and Ed were stars in the franchise system from the beginning," said Nancy Bigley, CEO of Bottle & Bottega. "Their dedication to growing their business through corporate team building events is unmatched by any other location. We're proud to have the duo as part of our franchise family."
The longtime Campbell residents took the leap into entrepreneurial waters in 2014. Their art and wine studio has taken off beautifully since the launch growing their business and sales every year and etching itself into the framework of the greater San Jose community.
"Stacy and Ed have set the bar high for Bottle & Bottega," added Bigley. "They're a dynamic duo with an eye for planning parties and engaging with the community. We're excited to see how they will continue to grow their business throughout the Bay area."

Q: Is this possible? Is it possible to convert this forumla
$$r(\theta) = \sum_{n=0}^\theta\left(\frac{2n+1}{2}\right)$$
to one without the $\sum$ sign? If so, how?

A: Make use of the following summations:
$$\sum_{n=0}^{\theta} 1 = \theta+1$$
$$\sum_{n=0}^{\theta} n = \dfrac{\theta(\theta+1)}2$$
Hence, we have $$r(\theta) = \sum_{n=0}^{\theta}n + \dfrac12 \sum_{n=0}^{\theta} 1 = \dfrac{\theta(\theta+1)}2 + \dfrac{\theta+1}2 = \dfrac{(\theta+1)^2}2$$

A: Yes. You want to use the formula for the sum of an Arithmetic Series. Note that the original sum is $$ \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\theta} \dfrac {2n+1}{2} = \dfrac {1}{2} \cdot \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\theta} (2n+1). $$It is easy to prove, using the formula I linked you to, that $$ \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\theta} (2n+1) = (n+1)^2. $$ This is a well-known fact. Now finish up.
Edit: got beaten by 2 answers.

BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER PLACING WREATHS N TIE ON DEAD GRAVES OF AMERICAN tPJQHT HOW TO GROW STRAWBERRIES. FOREST SERVICE UNDER ATTACK They Are Most Popular of Small Fruits and Particularly Adapted to Home Garden. Henry S. Graves Is forester of the forest service, the bureau of the department of agriculture which controls the national forests. Bills have been introduced in congress providing for the repeal of the act of 1905 which transferred the national forests from the Interior department to the agricultural department The national forests were created out of the public domain in 1905, and the forest service was established to apply to them the principles of scientific lumbering and grazing. It was believed that the national forests would soon become The forest service now gets an appropriation of about $6,000,-00- 0 a year and its deficit is about $2,000,000 a year. The agricultural department has been waging a campaign to get the control of the national parks transferred to it from the Interior department. The interior department has The national forests "and the national parks are evidently counter-attackediametrically opposite In purpose the former being entirely commercial and the latter entirely recreational. Back of the bills to restore the national forests to the interior department are said to be charges that the forest service is developing national forests as recreational centers, thus shutting out permanent settlers and curtailing grazing space. By duplicating legitimate activities of the national park service of the interior department It is wasting millions. Unofficial national park enthusiasts openly charge that the forest service has secretly opposed all national park legislation and is the biggest and smoothest-workin- g political machine in the United States.

They are the most popular of small fruits, the most widely grown, of any, and are particuarly adapted to the home garden, as they ripen earlier than other cultivated fruits, and enough to supply an ordinary family can be grown on a small area. In value the strawberry crop in the United States is surpassed among fruits only by the apple, peach and accordgrape. The value of the crop, an was $125 census, last the to ing an with average as compared acre, value of about $15 an acre for wheat and corn. It is a much more intensive crop than the grains and should be treated as such. When raised in the home garden, varieties which have the best dessert quality and ripen during a long season or in succession, without reference to their ability to stand long shipments, are desired. Market garieners also raise strawberries under intensive-method- s of culture, and since they are located near the markets in which their crops are sold, they are not interested primarily In the shipping quality of the varieties. Truck growers who are in shipping to distant markets should give consideration to the shipping as well as the dessert quality of the varieties they grow. In localities subject to late spring frost a site for strawberries should be somewhat elevated, as cold air settles in low places and frosts occur there-morfrequently than on the elevated spots. Strawberries thrive best on soil1 which is naturally moist, but not wet. Plants on wet soil usually make very little growth in the summer and are likely to "be killed when the ground freezes in the winter. Therefore, the site chosen for strawberries should be well drained. Ordinarily a site having-gradual rather than a steep slope should be selected. By choosing different slopes it is possible to vary the period of ripening several days, as the berries having a southern exposure-wil-l ripen earlier than those located or a cooler northern slope. I jrawberries not only have a wide climatic adaptation but may be grown successfully upon almost any type of soil, from coarse sand to heavy clay, provided it is well supplied with moisture and at the same time well drained. When early fruit Is desired sandy soil" Is often chosen, since the berries ripent somewhat earlier than on clay soil, other conditions being the same, though heavy yields can be secured on. either type of soil. All soils for strawberries should be supplied with humus. The preparation of the soil for strawberries should begin usually at least two years before the plants are to be set, or the plants should be set .

Smie-tankcollector of internal revenue in Chicago, for a refund of $4,472.37 paid as Income tax and for $10,000 additional. The suit dates back to 1916, when the internal revenue office "by duress" collected $4,472.37 from the First Trust and Savings bank, which holds in trust the estate left by her father. Mr. Forgan is seeking the refund on the ground that Mrs. Spaulding does not derive an income from her father's estate until she becomes twenty-si- x years old. m Jt f jMf i. The trust fund stipulates. It is asserted that she be paid certain sums as maintenance, and these sums, it is contended, cannot be classed as income. The Income of the estate, the bill recites, Is paid back into the trust fund and becomes a part of the principal, and Is therefore not subject to income tax.

Under the matted-rosystem the plants are set In rows from three to five feet apart and the runners are allowed to All a space a few Inches on either side of the row, thus making a solid mass of plants.

Q: torsion sections in abelian schemes Let $A \to S$ be an abelian scheme of relative dimension $g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We have the following short exact sequence on $S$
$$0 \to R^i\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l) \xrightarrow{\cdot l} R^i\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l) \to R^i \pi_*(\mu_l) \to 0.
$$
Taking cohomology for $i=2g-1$ gives
$$
0 \to H^0(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l)) \xrightarrow{\cdot l} H^0(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l)) \to H^0(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mu_l))\\
\xrightarrow{c} H^1(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l)) \xrightarrow{\cdot l} H^1(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l)) \to \ldots
$$
The group $H^0(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mu_l))$ can be identified with the set of $l$-torsion sections
I have two questions:

*

*Is it true that the connecting map $c$ maps a torsion section $s$ to the image of the difference of the cohomology class of this torsion section with that of the zero section (i.e. [s]-[0]) in $H^1(S, R^{2g-1}\pi_*(\mathbb{Z}_l))$, in the Leray filtration of $H^{2g}(A, \mathbb{Z}_l)$?

*Is there a similar description for $p$-torsions using crystalline cohomology?

A New Way to Keep Foundations From Cracking, Moving
The technique involves installing piers, lifting mechanisms and post-tension cables before the slab is poured.
by Nicholas Sakelaris • Mar 1, 2017
[Photo by User2547783c_812 via iStock]
Shifting soil has caused foundations to crack and doors to stick for decades in North Texas but one local entrepreneur has found a solution.
And, it's affordable for any foundation, not just large, custom homes.
The CEO of Tella Firma Foundations has raised $1.6 million from the North Texas Angel Network and Enhanced Capital, The Dallas Morning News reports. So far, he's installed about 1,000 foundations throughout the Dallas area.
It works by installing piers, lifting mechanisms and post-tension cables before the slab is poured. The equipment can even be adjusted later if needed.
For a $400,000 house, Tella Firma's foundation additions would add about $4,000 to the cost of a traditional slab house.

You can still play Deck One: The Highlands for free with the PnP link below. We will have a very limited number of Physical copies available this Summer. For more information, click the pic below to join our fan club, The Weatherguard!
Spell Saga is a story told in three parts, and is composed of three decks and a 20 card "ending". The first deck, known as The Highlands, has been played worldwide for the last year. You can play it for free! Just click the link above to download the cards, then print them at home or your local printer.
In the Autumn of 2013 we launched a Kickstarter for Spell Saga, and did not meet our goal. Now we have returned, bringing an International fanbase and splitting the game into separate decks. (Deck One is now a base game, while the decks will be considered expansions).
We are seeking funds to do a limited print run of Deck One: The Highlands (we're calling it a "zero" edition)! Although we plan to continue making the game available for PnP, this might be your only chance to grab a physical set of cards.
Now that our fundraiser has succeeded, we will offer the rest of the decks in limited "zero editions" as well. (Deck Two: The Forest is finally ready for Print & Play files, and you can pre-order it below by donating at any tier)!
Shipping in the US is free, International backers see below!
TO GET ALL EXCLUSIVE CARDS, WEATHERGUARD IRON IS THE CHEAPEST OPTION!!!
The following ITEMS are available as add-ons for any tier level in any country, at no additional shipping charge. Just add the appropriate amount to your pledge (there will be a post campaign survey to tell us what you've selected)!
*All Weatherguard level tiers come with ALL EXTRA CARDS. Al la carte is meant for lower tiers, or to receive extra copies!
THESE SHIRTS ARE VERY LIMITED!!!
Quality costs money. Bottom line.
For us to publish the game at anything less than expensive we need the best possible solution. Kickstarter allows us to print overseas, as well as share our game with a wide audience of people just like us: players ready for something special.
All the work for Deck One: The Highlands is done. All of it. The files are ready to be shipped to our printer and printed. Our hyper-violent T-shirt?: designed and ready for printing. The companies we're using have been contacted. Schedules are in place.
The Print & Play files for Deck Two: The Forest will be ready to download by Christmas, there's just a bit of art and play testing adjustments left to do.
We spent two years fine-tuning a budget, exhausting our resources and getting the game ready for manufacturing. We are using Panda Game Manufacturing to make sure the process goes smoothly, timely, and professionally. And we have stretched our timeline to give us extra time "just in case"
That "just in case" could include any number of print or ship hiccups, but we're committed to getting everything to everyone as quick as International shipping can allow.

Below you'll find answers to the questions we get asked the most. If you have any questions that aren't answered here, please contact us.
What is 1789, who does it serve and how can people get involved?
1789 is the University's central hub for all UNC students and grads that have an interest in innovation and entrepreneurship.
1789, powered by Innovate Carolina, was founded with the belief that anything is possible when the right people are brought together. With its origins as a Venture Lab, 1789 has expanded its scope to include anyone at the university who shares its mission to build a more innovative UNC, Chapel Hill. More than a space, though, 1789 provides workshops, office hours, events, and hosts classes as well.
Why does 1789 exist?
While we love new ideas that move the world forward, we are also committed to your development. Just as it is our mission to help student entrepreneurs succeed, we also have built a community dedicated to giving you opportunities to learn and get ready for a job after college.
What are the greatest benefits that people at UNC get by participating in 1789?
1789 gives all students an opportunity to be part of an innovation and entrepreneurial community. Co-working at 1789 puts students near other students who might have vastly different skillsets or solutions to problems that can help them. Students can also take advantage of office hours by mentors and industry experts. Innovate Carolina is working with the program to launch a new software platform that will allow students to collaborate with one another and other experts outside the physical space.
How does 1789 make a positive human, economic or social impact in the world – whether at UNC or beyond?
1789 is the starting point for students to start digging in to their ideas, meet other people and learn about I&E. The programming at 1789 aims to inspire and educate students. Whether it's preparing them for the workforce through an innovation internship, giving them an opportunity to network with peers and alumni, or sitting down with a marketing expert, 1789 works to meet a variety of student needs.
What co-working space is available at 1789?
1789 offers a large working space, a 20 seat bar, conference rooms, wireless internet, free hosting and even a Ping-Pong table in what might be the coolest office space on Franklin Street.
How do I reserve a space at 1789?
Check out the room reservation system: https://1789venturelab.roomzilla.net/
What other I&E resources are available at UNC?
Check out Innovate Carolina's website for all I&E activities on campus.
What's new at 1789?
As of 2019, you can now join this community on the Carolina Innovation Platform (CIP). CIP is the perfect place to network with other innovators around campus, find other ventures to join, or start collaborating and getting feedback on your own ideas. CIP is the virtual presence of 1789. Just like at 1789's physical space, you can meet with mentors with video conferences and participate in UNC's venture competitions.
What is the address for 1789 co-working space?
Can I send mail for my start-up or club to 1789?
No, you may not send mail to 1789. 1789 is a public entrepreneurship hub and cannot provide your start-up/club with a private address.


You can now pre-load your PS4 games!
PC gamers have been able to pre-load games for ages. Buy a game on Steam, well ahead of release, download the files, and you're able to play the game as soon as the clock strikes midnight. It's the sort of stuff that's made midnight launches irrelevant. Now, that feature is available on your PlayStation 4..though it's limited to just two handfuls of games right now.
The first of those games to go live is Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark if you feel like testing it out. I'm quite seriously contemplating throwing down the cash for Destiny though, and getting it downloaded and ready for its September release.
I do, however, find it a bit cheeky that you can already pre-order games like Uncharted 4 and LittleBigPlanet 3, especially digitally. The whole point of pre-ordering was to make sure that you got stock – but that's a constraint that doesn't exist when it comes to digital content.
You planning on getting any of those games? I'm hesitant, mostly because digital games on the PS4 tend to cost quite a bit more than their retail counterparts here in South Africa. that's not true for Destiny though, which is available digitally for about R150 less than a full retail price store-bought copy.

A 1980 white/copper Lotus Esprit Turbo used by Roger Moore during his portrayal as James Bond in "For Your Eyes Only" (United Artists, 1981), chassis number SCCFC20A8AMD 10858, engine number CC912 8011 18912, having double pinstripes, alloy wheels, and self-destruct system; consisting of four C4 explosive packs (strategically hidden in both sides of the car, front and back), magnetic seals on all doors and boot, and vibration sensors.
Following the success of Bond's (Roger Moore) Lotus used on-screen in "The Spy Who Loved Me" (United Artists, 1977), the film's producers agreed to re-employ the use of the ultra-sleek automobile in "For Your Eyes Only." This Lotus Espirt (being one of two used in the film) was driven by Bond throughout the film and can be seen prominently during an expedition to spy on Hector Gonzales' (Stefan Kalipha) subversive activity in a covert estate in Madrid, Spain. Later in the film, the car is seen again (now copper), as Bond sped through the Italian snowy ski resort of Cortina.
Interestingly, because of its original white color, the car would not translate well on film against the snowy background. It was immediately sent back to the factory and painted copper, and had customized ski-racks fitted on its roof. The most important production car Lotus produced is the chassis number one. Two white cars were provided for the film - the main car being Lotus chairman Colin Chapman's own prototype and development car, (chassis number one). Additionally, this remarkable automobile is also known as the original Essex car - the prototype for the Lotus "Esprit" series. Together with brass plaque with inscribed signature by Colin Chapman, the chairman of the Louts car company. This lot will be on display at Planet Hollywood London until July 31st, 2006.
There are additional James Bond lots in the June Sale that are not allowed to be posted on Ebay due to their rules and regulations. These additional lots can be viewed by visiting www.juliensauctions.com and clicking on the "Additional James Bond Lots" tab on the homepage. You may bid on these lots by registering to bid by phone, bid by proxy and/or bid live by attending the live auction at Planet Hollywood New York or London.

Michelle A. Paznokas
Michelle A. Paznokas - Philadelphia, PA
1525 Locust StreetFloor 19Philadelphia, PA 19102- 3719
Michelle A. Paznokas knew more about plaintiff law – especially winning big cases -- than many practicing attorneys before her first official day as a lawyer at Kline & Specter.
That was because she worked for more than a year on some of the firm's major victories as a law clerk while attending the Thomas R. Kline School of Law at Drexel University, where she not coincidentally was among the school's top graduates and an editor on the Law Review.
Paznokas was involved in the background workings – drafting motions, developing theories of liability, consulting with expert witness – on a number of important cases, including the Center City Salvation Army building collapse litigation that produced an arbitrator's award of $95.6 million for a single plaintiff, the largest personal injury recovery in Pennsylvania history.
She also assisted on a case that resulted in a $10.1 million medical malpractice verdict against Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in litigation involving a delayed diagnosis of meningitis. The verdict was upheld by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Paznokas also found the time during law school to work several internships, including with the Philadelphia Law Department and HIAS, an organization which helps protect refugees and assists them in building new lives and reuniting with the family members.
She graduated sixth and magna cum laude in her class at Kline Law while also serving as notes editor for the Law Review and authoring a 34-page article exploring flaws in the Special Immigration Juvenile Status (SIJS) statute enacted in 1990 to protect undocumented children fleeing parental abuse or neglect.
She was the school's Criminal Law Dean's Scholar for Prof. Adam Benforado, helped first year law students understand criminal law and conducted weekly classes on difficult concepts, while also meeting with students one-on-one. Paznokas co-created and presented public workshops and did pro-bono work on estate planning and immigration. She is currently liaison committee chair for the Kline Law American Inn of Court and co-professor at the school for Writing Strategies for the Bar.
Among her many honors were the CALI Excellence Award given for the best student performance in medical malpractice, the Rising Advocate Scholarship, the FirstTrust Bank Award in Business and Entrepreneurship and the Carolyn Agger Award for Excellence in Federal Taxation.
Paznokas, who is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, did her undergraduate work at Temple University, where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She also founded and was music director for an a cappella group at Temple. Paznokas, who is proficient in Spanish, trained in voice and several instruments, including guitar, drums and piano. She danced competitively with the Broad Street Entertainers through high school and later danced with Onstage & Off, a theater company based in Lansdale.
