Looking ahead to a York-Adams wrestling season full of uncertainties
RYAN VANDERSLOOT
There aren't many sure things when it comes to the 2021-2022 York-Adams League wrestling season.
Who will win Division I?
How many state champions will the Y-A produce?
Who will be the biggest surprises for the upcoming season?
The answers to those questions are anyone's guess.
We'll start to get the answers when the season begins this weekend.
A year after Spring Grove captured the York-Adams Division I championship for the first time since 2018, the Rockets will have to contend with a bevy of rivals, including Dallastown, Central York and South Western, among others.
Last year, Spring Grove regained the crown with a pulsating 27-26 showdown victory over Dallastown in late January.
Spring Grove returns a pair of successful performers from a season ago in sectional winners Braxton Rice (15-6 at 113) and Ivan Vega (19-4 at 126).
The Wildcats may no longer have state medalist Brooks Gable, who is now at the Air Force Academy, but Dallastown does return a trio of standouts in Ashton Deller (21-6 at 132), Zach Luckenbaugh (21-5 at 120) and Caden Dobbins (22-5 at 138). Dobbins placed second at districts, while Deller and Luckenbaugh each finished fourth.
Central York returns Jeremiah Smith, who won a sectional title last year en route to a 17-7 record as a junior at 152.
State contenders: In terms of possible future state champions, that question is murky, at best.
The league would have likely had at least one state favorite in Biglerville senior Levi Haines, who won the PIAA Class 2-A state title at 145 pounds as a junior after two runner-up finishes the previous two years. Haines, however, has decided to skip his senior season to train and prepare for his college career at Penn State.
Without Haines in the fold, there still are a handful of local wrestlers to keep an eye on.
Dover senior Mason Leiphart finished second at the District 3 tournament for a third year in a row. He capped his junior campaign with a bronze medal at 120 pounds at the state meet for a 26-3 record. His overall record of 93-11 leaves him seven victories shy of 100 for his career.
Brennan Schisler of Bermudian Springs seems poised for taking the next step. The senior finished his junior season at 21-6 while earning a berth into the PIAA 2-A draw at 132 pounds.
Jacob Cherry, a rising senior at Gettysburg, also made it to the PIAA 3-A event as junior. Cherry topped off his 27-7 season at 160 pounds with a third-place finish at districts.
Gettysburg's final run: While some things are uncertain, one certainty is that this will be the final season in the league for a Gettysburg program that has become one of the top units in the state.
Before the Warriors, who finished second at the District 3 3-A team meet a year ago, move on to the Mid-Penn Conference in all sports in 2022-23, they will be prohibitive favorites to repeat as Division II champions. Gettysburg won each of its D-II matches last season by at least 40 points.
In addition to Cherry, Gettysburg also returns a sectional winner from last year in 285-pounder Trevor Gallagher, who has a 51-24 mark through his career.
York Suburban figures to be the top contender to knock off the Warriors in D-II. Senior Noah Rice was a sectional champ at 145 a season ago. Rice (13-5) has a 69-17 mark for his career with the Trojans. Bryson Neidigh also won a sectional title at 132 for Suburban and finished last season at 20-3. He is 64-23 for his career.
In D-III, Bermudian Springs will again be expected to rule the roost. The Eagles have won every D-III crown since 2015, when the Y-A League moved to a three-division alignment for wrestling. Bermudian won each of its D-III matches last season by double digits.
Notes: Gettysburg will be the first York-Adams program to field a girls' team to compete this season. Gettysburg is one of 26 programs in the state so far to approve a girls' wrestling squad. Gettysburg has 12 members on the roster right now.
Most wrestling fans will also be pleased to learn that the individual wrestling postseason will return to a more traditional format after the 2021 version was significantly condensed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Will I have to replay the songs? I don't really have the time to do that.
Well, if you absolutely can't make it, then send me those screenshots. But in general, I'd really like to keep this competition leaderboard-based.
No!! You MUST keep it leaderboard-based! If he has a screenshot for his Silicon Lube score then I might lose out to him!
And shafron, I think I had submission issues withbthe previous PotM competition. Go check it out and see if the solution for your issue is there.
so you fear to lose?
No larh.. If I lose out to him then I lose out to him. It's just a game after all. BUT I WILL BEAT YOU SHAFRON. ARGH.
Goodness, in the middle of all the other stuff that's going on I totally forgot that this ended tonight! The competition is hereby officially closed, you'll have to wait for the results until tomorrow though. Cya then!
I just hate stuff like potm. It's like a survival of the fittest.
Don't do that. You sound ah lian.
The way we do a competition out in Canada is mainly just for fun. On this Its just no fun which I don't get. I've pretty much given up on ttr tournaments and so yeah.
How can you stop what you haven't started?
And this is fun. It's fun because it's competitive.
If you cant win, it's ok. I'm having trouble with winning myself. But I'm still having fun.
Some people take it more seriously than others. Look at Bruce, he's so determined to beat me. Power to him, we need more people like him; these guys are keeping the game alive.
If you're totally against competitive tap tap because you're Canadian (I find that hard to believe; you're national hockey team makes your statement invalid) then I suggest heading over to TTVIP.
This clan is renowned for being competitive, hence the 'selective-ness' of our clanmates.
Look at Bruce, he's so determined to beat me. Power to him, we need more people like him; these guys are keeping the game alive.
I just wanna win you — at least once. I'll get a reputation for something like that because people know you're damn pro so it'll probably be shocking for a non-TTWP member to be you. Plus I'm, in a few ways, a newbie. Haven't even released a video, theme or track.
Man, I'm jealous and proud of you at the same time.
You are a great player.
If you would've participated in the 2nd round of GS3, I would be eliminated. and you would've win it.
Don't be afraid of losing. Be afraid of being forever alone.

Sisters-in-law Heidi Routley of Vernon (left) and Kiley Routley of Lavington successfully slept outside Friday, July 10, to raise money and awareness for Covenant House Vancouver, a society that works with and for homeless youth.

Okanagan sisters-in-law sleep out successful
Kiley Routley and Heidi Routley raise nearly $2,400 and awareness for youth homelessness
Roger Knox
Jul. 12, 2020 12:00 p.m.
Save for a noisy bird that wouldn't stop chirping and singing, two North Okanagan women's goal to bring awareness to youth homelessness was a success.
Coldstream's Kiley Routley, and her sister-in-law, Heidi Routley, of Vernon, slept – well, slept a little – under the stars overnight Friday, July 10, to raise money and awareness for Covenant House in Vancouver.
"That bloody bird, I almost went out to have it out with them," laughed Kiley Routley Sunday morning, 24 hours after she and Heidi spent 12 rather sleepless hours in a tent behind Kiley's Back To Earth organic shop production facility beside Highway 6 in Lavington.
The pair voluntarily gave up the comforts of their own beds to take part in Covenant House's Sleep Out. Covenant House exists for young people for whom there is often no one else; young people aged 16 – 24 who have fled physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse, those who have been forced from their homes or those who have aged out of foster care.
The Routleys raised $2,390 which will go toward helping counsel 10-to-12 youth who have no homes.
Friday evening started with a Zoom presentation from Covenant House with everybody participating in the Sleep Out. At about 9 p.m., the sisters-in-law entered their tent – many homeless youth sleep on the streets in tents as it's the only thing they own – and got into their sleeping bags, and tried to sleep in the bags which were atop pieces of cardboard.
Along with the bird, the women were also kept awake by vehicles honking support, vehicles racing by the shop on Highway 6 throughout the evening and morning, the nearby lumber mill and pellet plant in operation, and by the thoughts of B.C. youth in every community sleeping on the streets night after night.
"After one night, we were exhausted, yet there's youth who do this night after night, and you feel how that would break a person down and not feel totally loved," said Kiley.
"It was an incredible, humbling experience. We were excited to bring awareness to homelessness. It's a reality in every community."
The pair exited the tent at 9 a.m. Saturday.
"We both went home to sleep," said Kiley. "We were wrecked emotionally."
Still, the Routleys called the Sleep Out a great experience, though admitted to feeling nervous about not being in their bedrooms.
"We thought about the people living in tents on the street and people coming into their tents and stealing their belongings," said Kiley.
The pair are thinking about organizing a local Sleep Out event, possibly to be held in Vernon.
Covenant House relies on the generosity of more than 55,000 individuals and organizations to provide shelter, food, clothing and counselling to over 1,100 youth each year.

safe!' That's right-He rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards."
It had just turned 2 a.m. I know this because I heard the Mission: Impossible! theme on the TV. I had laid down in my basement for a quick nap in the midst of an all-nighter. I had more on my plate than hours in the day. My faithful four-legged creature was barking, loudly, in the kitchen upstairs. I remember being annoyed that he wouldn't quiet down to let me catch a few more z's. Annoyed, I called for him to stop. He wouldn't. So, even more annoyed, I got up from my couch and started up the stairs to scold my dog for disturbing me. As my foot hit the first step, I heard a crack, followed by the full collapse of my basement ceiling--right on the couch where I had been trying to take my nap.
The contractor who surveyed the damage the next day said that I would have been killed. Others have called me "lucky"--I don't believe in luck.
I know that I'm kept and I know that, because of God, my refuge, I am safe!

Q: React-Table doesn't show data from firebase, but shows identical, handmade data I've been trying to make a locker organization / assignment app for a school project, and I've seen to hit a roadblock at the displaying of the firebase database. I found React-Table, which seemed like a good way to display the data, but I've had some issues actually displaying the data. When I run the app, it says that no rows are found.
Below is the code for my LockTable.js component.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import { auth } from '../firebase';
import 'firebase/database';
//import { database } from '../firebase';

import ReactTable from "react-table";
import 'react-table/react-table.css';

class LockTable extends Component{
    constructor(props){
        super(props);
    }

    render(){
        const database = firebase.database().ref("LockerList");
        const data1 = [];

        database.on('value',snapshot => {
            //Read each item in LockerList
            //Store it in a temporary array

            snapshot.forEach(childSnapShot => {
              //childSnapShot.key is the name of the data
              //childSnapShot.val() is the value of the data

              const Locker = {
                LockerNumber : childSnapShot.key.toString(),
                Available : childSnapShot.val().Available,
                StudentName : childSnapShot.val().StudentName,
                StudentNumber : childSnapShot.val().StudentNumber.toString()    ,
                Period : childSnapShot.val().StudentPeriod.toString(),
                Teacher : childSnapShot.val().Teacher,
              };

              data1.push(childSnapShot.val());

            });
        });

        const columns = [
            {
                Header: 'Locker Number',
                accessor: 'LockerNumber'
            }, {
                Header: 'Available',
                accessor: 'Available',
            }, {
                Header: 'Student Name',
                accessor: 'StudentName',
            }, {
                Header: 'Student Number',
                accessor: 'StudentNumber',
            }, {
                Header: 'Period',
                accessor: 'Period',
            }, {
                Header: 'Teacher',
                accessor: 'Teacher',
            } ];

        console.log(data1);

        return(

                <ReactTable
                    data={data1}
                    columns={columns}
                />

        );
    }
}

export default LockTable;

This is what my firebase database looks like
This is what the data I read from firebase looks like
To test React-Table out, I made a StackBlitz with handmade variables rather than variables read from firebase.
https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-table-help
If you open the console, you can see that the data from the StackBlitz version is the exact same as the data from my version, yet, the StackBlitz version is displaying the data, while my version is not.
Does anyone know why my version doesn't work? Any help would be appreciated!

A: The render method can only handle synchronous logic. The firebase database logic is asynchronous, so to use it you can put it in componentDidMount instead and put the data in the component state when you get a snapshot.
Example
class LockTable extends Component {
  state = { data: [] };

  componentDidMount() {
    const database = firebase.database().ref("LockerList");

    database.on("value", snapshot => {
      const data = [];

      snapshot.forEach(childSnapShot => {
        const locker = {
          LockerNumber: childSnapShot.key.toString(),
          Available: childSnapShot.val().Available,
          StudentName: childSnapShot.val().StudentName,
          StudentNumber: childSnapShot.val().StudentNumber.toString(),
          Period: childSnapShot.val().StudentPeriod.toString(),
          Teacher: childSnapShot.val().Teacher
        };

        data.push(locker);
      });

      this.setState(prevState => {
        return { data: [...prevState.data, ...data] };
      });
    });
  }

  render() {
    const columns = [
      {
        Header: "Locker Number",
        accessor: "LockerNumber"
      },
      {
        Header: "Available",
        accessor: "Available"
      },
      {
        Header: "Student Name",
        accessor: "StudentName"
      },
      {
        Header: "Student Number",
        accessor: "StudentNumber"
      },
      {
        Header: "Period",
        accessor: "Period"
      },
      {
        Header: "Teacher",
        accessor: "Teacher"
      }
    ];

    return (

        <ReactTable data={this.state.data} columns={columns} />

    );
  }
}

If you relocate your battery to a storage bin you'll have to secure it to run any autocrosses or track events.
You can put the battery in the passenger side bin for better weight distribution but you lose the use of that bin and it's much easier to access from the driver seat. If I was going to do this again I would have put the battery on the passenger side.
I cut the driver side bin out using a Drimmel Tool with a cutting disk. I took the stock battery pan from the engine bay, drilled two holes in it for the 5/16 inch x 5 1/2 inch battery hold-down bolts. 5 1/2 inch long bolts are just long enough for the stock battery hold-down clamp that goes across the battery. If you use a thicker after-market battery hold-down then use 6 inch bolts. I stuck the two battery hold-down bolts up through the battery pan, then bolted the pan to the bottom of the car in the driver side storage bin (see photo). I used all three of the stock bolt-down holes in the battery pan. Each of the three bolt-down locations need a different length bolt. I used a 5/16 x 1 1/2 inch long bolt for the central bolt-down, a 5/16 x 2 inch bolt for the upper right (in photo below) and a 2 1/2 inch long bolt for the upper left bolt-down. One of the holes comes pretty close to some fuel lines under the car so be careful and drill small pilot holes first. I put a lock washer and nut on the three bolts from below the car and then painted the exposed nuts with primer to seal and prevent rust.
I installed a battery disconnect switch just to the right of the picture above and connected two ground wires, one to a side speaker bolt (to the right of the photo) and one to a battery pan bolt (upper left in photo). The disconnect lever is accessible when the bin is closed. With this setup the battery is more secure than it was when it was mounted in the engine bay.
I got the battery from AVT Battery, they sell the Genesis 26 amp dry battery that Pettit uses in it's TKT cars. Pettit charges $175 for it. The battery is rated at 600 cold cranking amps, is small, 6.5" X 6.9 X 4.9", light weight at 23 lbs and fits in the bin behind the driver or passenger. It cost me $89 + $17 shipping. For an extra $10 you can upgrade to a metal case. Tell the receptionist you want to place an order, she'll try to tell you that they don't sell batteries for cars.

Born Lawrence J. Hackman, Glasgow, Missouri
B.A., University of Missouri
M.A., University of Missouri
Senior Archivist, Director of Special Programs, and Director of the Oral History Program, John F. Kennedy Library
M.P.A., John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
First Director of the Historical Records Program, National Historical Publications and Records Commission
Assistant Commissioner of Education, State Archivist of New York, and Executive Officer of the New York State Archives Partnership Trust
Director, Harry S. Truman Library (also served for most of this period as Secretary and, later, President of the Harry S. Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs)
The papers of Larry J. Hackman contain correspondence, financial records, handwritten notes, printed materials, and other items concerning his activities as Director of the Harry S. Truman Library from 1995 to 2000; his involvement in planning and raising funds for a major renovation of the Library's museum that included the creation of new permanent exhibits; and his continuing interest in Presidential Libraries and their relations with the U.S. government, the general public, and the nonprofit organizations that support their activities. The collection is arranged in a single series, the Subject File.
Hackman became the third Director in the Truman Library's history in 1995. His papers include extensive correspondence (mostly printouts of e-mail messages, with some letters and memorandums) relating to his efforts to reform and restructure the Library and its nonprofit partner, the Harry S. Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs. Much of this correspondence focuses on preparations for a fundraising program aimed at financing a long-planned renovation of the Truman Library. Plans for new museum exhibits, structural renovations, and the establishment of an educational program for the Library are documented in the correspondence and in related printed materials, financial records, and handwritten notes. The creation of the Library's White House Decision Center (WHDC), a role-playing exercise for visiting students featuring historical situations from the Truman Presidency, is the subject of a large body of material. Hackman's decision to retire as Library Director in 2000, his involvement in selecting his successor, and his efforts to ensure the preservation of the reforms he had initiated are also reflected in the papers. There is relatively little material in the collection predating Hackman's appointment as Truman Library Director in 1995, or pertaining to his previous career as an archivist, oral historian, and administrator.
The papers also contain information on Hackman's activities after he retired as Director, including his continuing interest and involvement in the Library's activities; his preparation of a "case study' on relations between the Library and its Institute ("A Presidential Library Partnership,' February, 2002); his involvement in organizing a conference of scholars and administrators at Princeton University in April, 2004, which resulted in a report on the public aspects of Presidential Libraries ("Presidential Libraries: A Background Paper on Their Museums and Their Public Programs,' December, 2004) ; and his writing and editing of a special issue of the journal Public Historian, dedicated to an examination of Presidential Libraries, which was published in 2006. The collection also includes materials relating to Hackman's presentations to various audiences during and after his tenure as Library Director.
The Truman Library also has the papers of Hackman's predecessors as Director of the Library, Philip C. Brooks and Benedict K. Zobrist. Other related resources at the Library include the online transcript of an oral history interview with Larry J. Hackman, the Records of the Harry S. Truman Library Institute, the Records of the Harry S. Truman Library, Inc., and the Records of the National Archives and Records Administration: Harry S. Truman Library (Record Group 64).

Katrina Jade "Kate" Leth (born 1988) is a Canadian comic book creator, known for works such as Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!.

Career
Leth was born in Ottawa and lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and attended NSCAD University, studying photography. She dropped out before achieving her degree.

Comics
She worked at the Strange Adventures comic shop in Halifax, where she developed an interest in comics, and created promotional art for the shop. In 2010, she created her webcomic Kate or Die for their blog. Kate or Die eventually became a bi-weekly column on Comics Alliance.  She cited fellow Nova Scotia writer Kate Beaton as an influence, "...this person who was putting all this stuff out there, and no real formal art school training, but was doing really well with her work." Leth also contributed to the webcomics Locke & Key: Guide to the Known Keys and The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, and the anthology, Womanthologoy: Heroic. She later contributed to Smut Peddler in 2012.

Leth's Adventure Time fan art on her Tumblr page attracted the attention of BOOM! Studios, publishers of the comic based on the television show. She was hired to do covers, a short story, and a graphic novel, Adventure Time: Seeing Red, which entered The New York Times Best Seller list in April 2014. She also was a co-writer and co-artist for issue 3 of Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake, Adventure Time: Bitter Sweets, and Adventure Time: The Four Castles.

In 2013, Leth organized The Valkyries, a group of women who work in comics retail. In 2017, Leth described the group as "great for creating a community" and equivalent to a union. The group was disbanded in 2018, due to accusations that the group failed to adequately represent the concerns of women of color due to Leth's deliberate mismanagement.

In 2015, Leth wrote another comic for Boom!, Power Up, and wrote six issues of Vampirella for Dynamite Entertainment. Leth was co-host for Less Than Live with Kate or Die, a bi-weekly comics podcast which last aired in 2016. Leth collaborated with the podcast Welcome to Night Vale and wrote stories for the Lumberjanes comic for Boom!. In 2018, Lumberjanes, the comic to which Leth contributed along with 5 other creators, was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award. She also worked on Transformers: Galaxies, an anthology comic book series by IDW Publishing which is a spin-off to 2019's Transformers comic book, which began on September 25, 2019 and concluded on December 30, 2020.

Leth was also the cover artist for various webcomics. This included Adventure Time: Marceline and the Scream Queens #5 in 2012, The Midas Flesh #3 in 2013, Littlest Pet Shop #2 and Lumberjanes #1 in 2014, and Swords of Sorrow. Additionally, she was a variant cover artist of Sex Criminals #12.

Animation
Leth wrote for the 2018 Bravest Warriors episode "Chained to Your Side". The same year, the three episodes of Polly Pocket, two episodes of Craig of the Creek,the Littlest Pet Shop: A World of Our Own episode "The Purr-fect Storm", the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode "Mystery Voice" and 17 episodes of Transformers: Cyberverse she had written were released. Additionally, from 2018 to 2019, the five episodes of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls were released. She had previously contributed to Bravest Warriors comics in 2012 and two graphic novels of Mysticons in 2018 and 2019.

In 2021, the series High Guardian Spice was released on Crunchyroll. Leth co-wrote four episodes for the seasons, and two other episodes individually. Leth also appeared in the 2014 documentary She Makes Comics and in the 2016 episode "Paper Plate Pictionary" of Super Fun Awesome Party Game Time. From 2016 to 2017, she voiced Sira the Unbidden in the series Vast.

Other writings
In 2014, Leth wrote for Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock: Journey to the Everspring, and Edward Scissorhands In 2015, Leth worked with Joe Quinones to pitch Batman '89 as a comic series, but DC Comics rejected it.

For Marvel she wrote Secret Wars, Too a comedic anthology, and Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!, for 17 issues. In 2016, Leth wrote for the graphic novel, School Spirit. From October 2016 to February 2017, she contributed to issues 1-5 of Spell on Wheels, co-writing with Megan Levens.

In 2020, Leth announced she had signed a deal with Simon and Schuster to produce a graphic novel for release in 2023 entitled Mall Goth.

Personal life
Leth lived in Burbank, California from January 2016 until September 2020, when she moved back to Halifax, Nova Scotia. While in college, Leth and her colleague Vincenzo Ravina created a website dedicated to their hatred of the Crocs shoes. She is openly bisexual and non-binary and uses both she/her and they/them pronouns. She has also described herself as queer and genderfluid.

In September 2019, Leth announced via Twitter that she was engaged to longtime partner Cohen Edenfield.

LP Hartley never spoke a truer word when he said "the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there." I've just finished my annual wielding of frying pan and pancake batter in readiness for, well, not celebrating Lent. The children insist on it. Each year I dig out this trusty little gem of a cook book – by now practically a Kings family heirloom – to mug up on the recipe. And it never disappoints.
Look at that cover, truly from a bygone age, and long before Delia was even weighing up her career options. It never fails to bring a small lump to the throat remembering all the stupendous cakes we made. It was the Sixties by the way, not the Fifties, if some of you were rudely wondering. And that's a lot of cakes. At a cover price of 1s 6d, I think we've safely had our money's worth, and who knows, when the boys have grown up, they might be clamouring for the recipe on Pancake Day too.


Back on the road again! I moved away from the greenway in Summerfield, turned right out of the parking lot and dodged cars, trucks and school buses for nearly 10 miles before getting to Oak Ridge, NC.
No, Matt Brown, the Oak Ridge Boys are not from Oak Ridge, North Carolina. They are actually from Knoxville, Tennessee, and were originally named the Oak Ridge Quartet because they would perform gospel music at the nuclear research facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee during WWII.
Oak Ridge, North Carolina is known for Oak Ridge Military Academy which makes up a big chunk of the attractive little town. The Academy was founded in 1852 by Quakers as a male finishing School. World War I changed things, though, and the school started a JROTC program that quickly took a life of its own. By 1929, Oak Ridge was officially a Military Academy is now the third oldest still operating military academy in the United States. Young women have been admitted to the school since 1972. I bet the Society of Friends hasn't been back to check on the Cadets.
I turned right on Linville Road and headed out of town. After a series of turns and nearly 25 miles, I found Walnut Cove.
There is an adventure in every moment. Find it. Keep Moving Forward.
Another great write-up and I love seeing the pictures too!

Q: Prove that $\sqrt[2012]{2012!}<\sqrt[2013]{2013!}$ I need to prove that $\sqrt[2012]{2012!}<\sqrt[2013]{2013!}$
My attempt:
Let $a=\sqrt[2012]{2012!}$ and $b=\sqrt[2013]{2013!}$
Then $\displaystyle\frac{b^{2012}}{a^{2012}}=\frac{2013}{b}$
Clearly $\displaystyle b<2013$ so $\dfrac{2013}{b}>1\implies \dfrac{b^{2012}}{a^{2012}}>1\implies b>a$
I want to know if this is valid and if there is a better way of proving it.

A: For integer $n>0$, $$\{(n+1)!\}^{\frac1{n+1}}> \{n!\}^{\frac1n}\iff \{(n+1)!\}^n> \{n!\}^{n+1}$$ (Taking lcm$(n,n+1)=n(n+1)$th power in either side)
$$\iff(n+1)^n\cdot\{n!\}^n>\{n!\}^{n+1} \iff (n+1)^n>n! $$ which is true as $n+1>r$ for $1\le r\le n$

A: My proof: ($n=2012$, $n+1=2013$).
$$\begin{align}((n!)^{\frac{1}{n}})^n &< ((n+1)^{\frac{1}{n+1}})^n \\
n! &< ((n+1)!)^{1-\frac{1}{n+1}} \\
n! &< (n+1) \cdot n! \cdot (n+1)!^{-\frac{1}{n+1}} \end{align}$$
Since $(n+1)!^{\frac{1}{n+1}} < n+1$, we have $(n+1)!<(n+1)^{n+1}$.


If you haven't looked at your air conditioner or thought about your central heating/cooling apparatuses since you used them last summer, it's time to have them looked at by a professional. Believe us when we tell you that professional air conditioning repair is much more affordable than the exorbitant costs involved in running an A/C unit inefficiently. Repair and maintenance to keep your system running properly and efficiently is one of the best things you can do to keep your cooling bills low this summer.
Thoroughly inspect all of the entrances to your home for gaps that will let in the heat. You likely did this when the weather first cooled off as well. Make sure your windows are in good shape. Check out their frames and make sure there aren't gaps between the window frames and the walls of your home. Do the same with your doors. The goal is to keep the air leaching to a minimum.
After this, you need to change up your opening/closing windows habits. Typically, we open our windows during the day and close them at night. During the summer, especially if you don't have air conditioning, the opposite needs to happen. Open the windows once the weather has cooled off then close them mid-morning when the heat starts to rise. Keep the cooler air moving within your home with fans.
Yes, keeping your shades and curtains drawn can help lower the temperature of your home a little bit, because the darker a space typically the cooler it is. During the summer, though, your goal should be to keep the sun from hitting the windows in the first place. The easiest way to do this is to either close your home's shutters or, if you don't have shutters, hang shades up on the outside of the windows. This way the sun doesn't hit the windows and cause that magnifying glass effect that is usually so common.
If you are a renter, don't despair. Your landlord might not allow you to hang something outside of your windows, but you might be able to get permission to install weatherproof film on the window panes. Heck, you might even convince your landlord to install the film on all of the windows in your building and even pay for the film and installation costs themselves, because it doesn't just save you money, it saves them money as well.
Even if your house does heat up–in spite of your better efforts–strategically placing fans around your home will keep the air moving during the day. Air that moves is cooler than air that stagnates, especially during the hotter months.
Stay away from sodas during the summer. They only dehydrate you and make you thirstier. Plus, they're expensive. Instead, switch to plain cold water (add some frozen berries or slices of lemon or cucumber if you want to add some flavor). The better hydrated you are, the better able your body will be able to deal with the heat.
And, of course, if you're desperate, taking a quick cool shower or soaking your feet or hands in some cold water can do wonders for lowering your body temperature.
These are just some of the methods you can use to help lower your power bills this summer. The best thing about them? They're all easily affordable and will definitely earn back what you spend on them in how much they'll save you over the long haul.

Residents Must Benefit From Your Operation; Otumfuo To Newmont
The Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu has lobbied for developmental projects for residents of Kenyasi in the Ahafo region as Newmont Gold seeks to operationalise Newmont Ahafo North.
Hoping that the Ahafo North develops just as the Ahafo South, the Asantehene advised the leadership of the African Region of the company to invest in developmental projects in the community.
He noted that the Company will thrive only if each member of the community in which they seek to operate feel their positive contributions in their daily lives.
"The operation must benefit the community while you operate. They (residents) must benefit from trade, contracts and all of those things. They (residents) will know that Nemont is here, they (Newmont) are working and we (residents) are also benefiting from it.
"Newmont operation must reflect on the trader selling along the line…These ripple effects must be borne in mind in terms of trading, hairdressing and whatever training they are engaged in. If it is contracts, supply these to who best can benefit from it in the community and they will be happy with you."
He said this when the leadership of the African Region of the Newmont Gold Limited paid a courtesy call on him at the Manhyia Palace on Friday, December 9, 2022.
The delegation included Mr David Thornton, the Senior Vice President; Adiki O. Ayitevie Vice President, S&ER; Kwame Addo Kufour, Vice President, Government Relations and Strategic Projects; and Joseph Danso, Snr. Manager S&ER.
Accompanying the delegation were Hon George Boakye, the Ahafo Regional Minister and Hon Ernest Kwarteng, the Municipal Chief Executive for Tano North Municipal.
The delegation reported to His Majesty the development of the Newmont Ahafo North Project.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, the Ahafo Regional Minister, Hon George Boakye said four out of the five Resettlement and Negotiation Committee (RNC) agreements have been signed.
He told the King the company is constructing Hwediem-Kenyasi road in the region.
Additionally, he said two hundred people have been sponsored into various skills training by the company with an amount of GHc1 million.
Mr Thornton disclosed that the company has complied with the Asantehene's earlier proposal for an extension of workers' contracts- two staff members currently have their contracts reviewed to two years instead of twelve months.
Hon Boakye also indicated that the company is in the process of complying with all advice given by the Asantehene.
Mr Thornton said Newmont was prepared to collaborate in any way to solve the fiscal challenges Ghana faces.
One of the ways, he said, was to sell some of its gold to the Bank of Ghana.

With 55 amateur fights already under his belt, the six time London Champion is looking to maintain his momentum for this years amateur season after competing on the 27th of September at the Celtic box cup in Ireland. Following his busy schedule, the Harrow born boxer has got his sights set on the National Amateur Boxing Championship in late November which could lead to an automatic call up to Team GB.
Club manager Reggie Hagland stated that,
"Connor is definitely one of the hardest working boxers at the club, there is no doubt that his hard work will pay off and he will be on the podium for team GB very soon."
Reggie has been busy preparing his boxers for the upcoming amateur season to ensure the club carries on with its honourable reputation of producing homegrown national champions across all weight divisions. The North London club already has a rich 35 year history, however Reggie is hoping his current batch of boxers will take it to the next level stating,
"we want to make a name for ourselves in the boxing community, Islington already has a solid reputation in terms of UK boxing but we want to take that further. We want to be the best in Europe, and in time to come hopefully we will be up there on the global stage."
While Connor has been rapidly racing his way to the top of the rankings he has developed a love for leopard print. The half Irish boxer can often been seen entering the ring sporting fur gowns along with a matching print on his shorts.
His manager Reggie explained how,
"he's one of the most charismatic people we have here at the club, a couple years ago he wasn't as confident but thats what boxing does for you."
While Reggie also went on to confirmed,
"his boxing is better than his fashion sense."

3 Alabama late rally, survives 4 extra times to defeat Auburn
Auburn, Ala. – Alabama pushed to the limits, putting on plays to celebrate in a stadium that produced a few devastating plays.
The result was another unforgettable iron pot.
Jon Mitchie got a pass from Bryce Young in the fourth overtime to give third-placed Alabama a 24-22 victory over rival Auburn on Saturday, saving the Crimson Tide team's national title hopes.
It was his first Iron Bowl overtime.
"Wow, what a match," said Tide coach Nick Saban.
Freshman Kool-Aid McKinstry missed TJ Finley's pass in the final OT and hit Young Metchie just as he did on the previous pass.
Alabama (11-1, 7-1 Southeast Conference, No. 3 CFP) moves on to face Georgia No. 1 in a league championship game with College Football Playoff's hopes on the line. The Tigers (6-6, 3-5) lost their fourth game in a row after Young's chokehold and prolific backing most of the way.
Saban said: "After the first half it was like everyone was all in and we were fighting like I hadn't seen us fight all year. Our players were as happy as I saw them before after the match."
Young capped the 97-yard run with a 28-yard touchdown for freshman Ja'Corey Brooks — his fourth catch and first touchdown of the season — with 24 seconds left in regulation.
Young converted 4th and 7th to Jahleel Billingsley, followed by a decrease under pressure for a foul that was suspended for 59 minutes.
"It was crazy. It was crazy," Young, who passed for 317 yards and two touchdowns with an interception, said. "When you play in the Iron Bowl, what else are you supposed to expect? Throughout all the ups and downs, right up to that last drive, I have great faith in my buddies. My confidence has never wavered."
There were times when it was easy to stand up to Auburn's defense that yielded little.
The Tigers were trying to win their third straight Iron Bowl at Jordan Hare, and their fourth in five years. They could pull it off. Auburn won with Kick Six (2013) and Two Kick-Six (2019).
Fans were unable to storm the field this time.
"There was a lot of fighting from our team," said first-year Auburn coach Brian Harsin. "I am proud of our guys. I told them I was proud of their fight. … Our guys played hard and put ourselves in a position to win the match. We just came short."
The two teams exchanged touches and field goals in the first overtime and both provided scoring passes after lining up from 3 the first time.
Alabama was without two of its best offensive players in overtime.
Tailback Brian Robinson was on the line with an obvious leg injury he sustained earlier in the match. Star receiver Jameson Williams has been sent off for targeting over cover gambling in the first half.
Held at 70 yards in the first inning, Young finished 25 of 51, several completions for Michy.
Michi caught 13 passes for 150 yards.
Auburn's TJ Finley, who started the last two games after the Bo Knics injured his ankle at the end of the season, was in 17 of 26 for 137 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He left the match at some point with a left ankle injury and came back with a score.
"I really can't move the way I want to," Finley said. "I'm a big guy so I don't move much anyway. When your ankle kind of bothers you… it forces you to stand in the pocket and deliver great balls."
Kicker Ben Button, a replacement for injured Anders Carlson, kept Auburn alive with a 49-yard field goal in the second overtime.
Derek Hall had three bags for the Tigers.
"When you get down to the wire like that and you don't finish, it's bad," Hall said. "It hurts."
Alabama barely looked ready to take on the Bulldogs and the nation's top defense most of the way. The Tide had 11 penalties for 129 yards and surrendered seven sacks a few days after Saban called the fans up for being crucial because his team wasn't blowing opponents.
Auburn's defense played superbly and carried on for the dear life of a team that blew two consecutive double-digit strings. The advantage of domestic stadiums is still enormous in this intense rivalry even if the Tigers fail in the end.
The repercussions of the opinion poll
Alabama had a chance to climb after second Ohio State fell 42-27 to Michigan in fifth. A prolonged struggle with an unranked team makes that less certain.
Alabama: Georgia faces #1 in the SEC Championship game.
Auburn: Waiting for the bowl's destination.

João XI de Constantinopla, dito Beco (; ), nascido por volta de 1225 e morto em março de 1297, foi o patriarca grego ortodoxo de Constantinopla entre 2 de junho de 1275 e 26 de dezembro de 1282 e o principal defensor da reunião entre a Igreja Católica e a Igreja Ortodoxa durante o Império Bizantino.

Biografia
João Beco nasceu em Niceia entre os exilados de Constantinopla durante o período da ocupação latina da cidade e morreu aprisionado na fortaleza de São Gregório perto da entrada do Golfo da Nicomédia. O nosso conhecimento sobre a vida de Beco deriva de seus próprios escritos e os de outros autores bizantinos, como Jorge Paquimeres e Nicéforo Gregoras, de obras contra ele por Gregório II Cipriota e outros, e de defesas de sua posição por defensores da união eclesiástica, como Constantino Meliteniota e Jorge Metoquita.

União das Igrejas

A história de Beco está intimamente ligada com a da União das Igrejas, decretada no Segundo Concílio de Lyon (1274), uma união patrocinada pelo papa Gregório X no ocidente e pelo imperador bizantino Miguel VIII Paleólogo no oriente. A política de união de Miguel foi, em grande parte, politicamente motivada e Beco inicialmente era contra. Mas, depois que Miguel VIII mandou prendê-lo na Torre de Anemas por falar contra ela, Beco mudou de ideia (1273). A leitura de alguns padres gregos, como Basílio, o Grande, Cirilo de Alexandria e Epifânio de Salamina convenceu Beco que as diferenças teológicas entre as igrejas grega e latina haviam sido exageradas.

Após o patriarca José I Galesiota ter abdicado no início de 1275 por causa de sua oposição ao Concílio de Lyon, Beco foi eleito para substituí-lo. Sua relação com o imperador já era, por vezes, tempestuosa e, embora Miguel VIII dependesse de Beco para manter a paz de seu império com o ocidente, ele se incomodava com as repetidas intercessões dele em prol dos pobres. Miguel era um homem perspicaz e sabia como tornar a vida do patriarca miserável através de pequenas humilhações até que, em março de 1279, Beco renunciou desgostoso e teve que ser "convencido" a retomar o emprego novamente em 6 de agosto de 1279. Os anos finais do reinado de Miguel VIII foram inteiramente tomados com a defesa de seu império contra a ameaça representada pelo rei ocidental Carlos de Anjou e, em sua ansiedade para estar à altura da ameaça, Miguel iniciou um "reino do terror" contra os oponentes da união. Contudo, não existem evidências convincentes de que João Beco tenha tomado parte ativamente ou mesmo apoiado estes atos de perseguição violenta.

Ainda que no início de seu patriarcado Beco tenha prometido não responder a panfletos que estavam circulando contra a união eclesiástica, no final do reino de Miguel ele mudou de ideia sobre o assunto e passou a "realizar numerosos sínodos, convocando todos, e recuperando livros e publicando muitos outros" defendendo a união em bases teológicas, argumentando a favor da compatibilidade da doutrina latina com a tradição patrística grega. O efeito disto foi conseguir alienar ainda mais a maior parte do clero grego contra ele e foi esta atividade editorial que serviria, mais tarde, como prova explícita para as acusações que seriam feitas contra ele.

Concílio de Blaquerna
A união eclesiástica criada por Miguel VIII nunca foi popular em Bizâncio e, após a sua morte em 11 de dezembro de 1282, seu filho e sucessor, Andrônico II Paleólogo, a repudiou. No dia depois do Natal de 1282, João Beco se retirou para um mosteiro, o antigo patriarca anti-união, José I, foi trazido para Constantinopla numa maca e uma série de concílios e encontros públicos se seguiram, liderados por um grupo de monges anti-união. Beco, temendo uma morte violenta pelas mãos da multidão, foi induzido a assinar uma renúncia formal de suas opiniões unionistas e de seu sacerdócio (em janeiro de 1283), uma renúncia que ele depois abjurou como tendo sido obtida sob pressão, mas que também será utilizada contra ele mais tarde<ref>O texto da renúncia foi incorporado na obra Tomo, de Gregório II Cipriota, traduzida por Papadakis, Crisis in Byzantium (1997), pp. 216 f.  Cf. também Gill, Byzantium and the Papacy, 1198-1400 (1979), p. 294: "Beccus later declared that he then bowed before the storm because there was no possibility of having a hearing for his defence, but with the firm intention, which he expressed at the time to Metochites, 'as soon as the storm had died down a little of coming into the open before those responsible and the instigators to defend the truth openly.'" - "Beco posteriormente declarou que ele tinha se curvado ante à tempestade por que não havia possibilidade de sua defesa ser ouvida, mas com a firme intenção, que ele expressou na época aos metoquitas, 'de assim que a tempestade passar um pouco, de se apresentar perante os responsáveis e instigadores para defender a verdade abertamente'".</ref>. Em seguida, Beco passou alguns anos em prisão domiciliar num grande mosteiro em Prusa, na Ásia Menor. De lá, ele iniciou uma campanha literária para se exonerar e conseguiu que um concílio fosse reunido para tratar do seu caso. Ele ocorreu no palácio imperial de Blaquerna, em Constantinopla, se reunindo em várias sessões entre fevereiro e agosto de 1285. Embora este Concílio de Blaquerna tenha reafirmado a condenação anterior de Beco, o patriarca deposto, numa série de obras, conseguiu difamar tanto a afirmação dogmática contra ele (o Tomo de 1285) que o seu autor, o patriarca Gregório II Cipriota renunciou em 1289. Beco enxergou nisso a reabilitação de seu ponto de vista. Ele passou os anos restantes de sua vida na prisão, na fortaleza de São Gregório, revisando suas obras e mantendo relações amigáveis com o imperador e com membros proeminentes do clero bizantino, mas sem jamais renunciar às suas opiniões unionistas.

Beco morreu em 1297

 Pensamento teológico

A base da disputa de Beco com os seus contemporâneos era uma discordância entre eles sobre as implicações de uma fórmula tradicional patrística, que afirma que o Espírito Santo "procede" do Deus Pai "através do Filho" (). Já no , esta expressão estava sendo interpretada de duas formas diferentes: os escritores latinos viam-na implicando a doutrina agostiniana de que o Espírito Santo procede do Pai "e do Filho" (a famosa cláusula Filioque); os escritores gregos, especialmente a partir do tempo de Fócio, viam-na como consistente com a visão de que o Espírito Santo procederia do Pai "apenas". Beco originalmente concordava com a visão de Fócio, mas após ter lido os padres gregos e alguns escritores gregos medievais, como Nicéforo Blemides e Nicetas de Maroneia, mudou de opinião. A maior parte do debate de João Beco com Gregório II Cipriota foi sobre o significado dos textos de Cirilo de Alexandria e outros padres, cuja escolha de palavras (o Espírito "existe a partir do Filho"; o Espírito "tem como fonte eterna" o Filho etc.) Beco acreditava ser consistente com a doutrina latina, enquanto que Gregório interpretava estes textos como necessariamente se referindo a uma eterna "manifestação" do Espírito Santo através ou a partir do Filho. Este debate do  tem considerável relevância para as atuais discussões ecumênicas sobre a reunião entre a Igreja Ortodoxa e a Igreja Católica.

 Edições

A maior parte das obras de Beco está no volume 141 da Patrologia Grega (PG) de Migne, com algumas ainda não publicadas. Migne republicou as edições do  de Leão Alácio. Uma re-edição mais confiável foi produzida por H. Laemmer no  (Scriptorum graeciae orthodoxae bibliotheca selecta, Freiburg, 1864), mas mesmo esta deixa a desejar por não indicar as referências para as muitas citações patrísticas de Beco. Apenas uns curtos e poucos textos de Beco foram alvo de edições críticas modernas. Um deles foi a obra De pace ecclesiastica ("Sobre a Paz Eclesiástica"), em V. Laurent e J. Darrouzès, Dossier Grec de l'Union de Lyon, 1273-1277 (Paris, 1976). Nela, Beco critica os fundamentos do cisma entre as Igrejas com bases unicamente históricas, destacando que o patriarca Fócio só resolveu lançar uma campanha contra a doutrina latina após a sua alegação ao patriarcado de Constantinopla ter sido rejeitada pelo papa Nicolau I. Algumas das mais importantes obras de Beco são:
 Sobre a União e a Paz das Igrejas da Antiga e da Nova Roma (PG 141, 15-157): esta obra sumariza os principais argumentos patrísticos de Beco e refuta os argumentos de quatro críticos bizantinos da teologia cristã latina (Fócio, João Furnes, Nicolau de Metone e Teofilacto de Ácrida).
 Epígrafes (PG 141, 613-724): uma antologia de textos patrísticos organizados em treze seções e que apresenta uma argumentação bem afirmada pela compatibilidade das doutrinas latina e grega sobre a processão do Espírito Santo. Cento e sessenta anos depois, ela foi instrumental para convencer Bessarion, no Concílio de Florença, de que a doutrina latina era ortodoxa.
 Orações I e II sobre a sua própria Deposição (PG 141, 949-1010): O relato do próprio Beco sobre os eventos durante os tumultuados sínodos do início de 1283.
 De libris suis ("Sobre suas próprias Obras") (PG 141, 1019-1028): uma obra curta, mas essencial para a crítica histórica dos textos de Beco. Nela, ele discute os princípios que governaram a sua revisão de sua própria obra em uma edição que ele escreveu à mão enquanto estava preso.
 Refutação do 'Tomo' de Giorgius Cyprus (PG 141, 863-923) e Quatro livros para Constantino Meliteniota (PG 141, 337-396): A crítica de Beco a seu antagonista, Gregório II Cipriota (que é conhecido por seu nome de batismo, Giorgius Cyprus'').

Quality watchdogs have demanded "incisive action" at Luton University before there can be full confidence in its academic standards.
In an audit report published this week, the Quality Assurance Agency says that external examiners at Luton had raised concerns about "weak academic standards" on undergraduate courses. Two examiners warned that "at the lowest level of passing grade the standards at the university did not match those of comparable institutions". But despite this, the examiners had signed off the exam-board decisions and the students had been allowed to pass.
The episode forms part of a catalogue of problems that includes the flawed conduct of examinations, with errors in exam papers and poor exam invigilation.
The agency says that until action is taken in a number of areas, "the general confidence that could be placed in the university's management of standards would have to be qualified".
The QAA carried out its audit of Luton's quality assurance systems in March last year, but publication of the report was delayed by a dispute between the agency and the university about the content.
The QAA report says it is advisable for the university to ensure that "all external examiners are fully committed to the decisions of boards of examiners prior to signing their confirmation to these decisions".
Aspokeswoman for the Campaign for Academic Freedom and Academic Standards said that when externals with well-founded concerns about standards lack the courage and integrity to veto bad decisions, the whole system is invalidated.
Concerns are also raised about the conduct of examinations. Although Luton's internal exams auditor raised "a range of matters which must be of serious concern to the university", the university did not always respond adequately.
The report says it is "necessary" - the QAA's highest level of priority - to ensure the exam auditor's reports are fully acted on in future.
The QAA report also says that the limited language skills of international students risks inhibiting learning opportunities, and the university should ensure that international students are given effective support.
Luton's dean of quality assurance, Richard Harris, said the audit report was "overall a very positive document", with four important areas of commendation.
He said the comments the QAA made about external examiners reflected "a misunderstanding about procedures by two external examiners, since rectified by the production of clearer notes of guidance".
"The external examiners may initially, on receipt of students' scripts, have had reservations about standards," he said. "After the moderating process and the boards of examiners' meetings, both external examiners were happy to sign the class lists, signifying their satisfaction that the standards set by the university are comparable to the standards set elsewhere in the UK."
He said two external examiners' reports out of a total of nearly 200 was "a very small sample from which to draw an inference about the security of an institution's approach to the maintenance of standards".
Mr Harris also said the university considered the QAA's demand for necessary action over the exam auditor's advice was unjustified.

Shoja Azari
Shoja Azari is an Iranian-born visual artist/filmmaker based in New York City. Since 1995, Shoja has produced, written and directed four feature films, numerous shorts and video installations as well as working with painting and photography to create striking and culturally referenced works. In 1998, Shoja met the renowned Iranian visual artist Shirin Neshat and together they started a close collaboration that began with Turbulent, a double-screen film installation directed by Shirin Neshat and preformed by Shoja Azari and Sussan Deyhim, which won the Golden Lion, the top prize of the prestigious Venice Art Biennale in1998.
Their next work, Rapture (1999) written by Shoja Azari and Shirin Neshat, was proclaimed a 'masterpiece' by the art critic and philosopher Arthur Danto, a seminal voice in contemporary art. Since then Shoja and Shirin have produced more than fifteen video and art installations that have been exhibited widely in museums and art festivals around the globe.
In 2000, Shoja embarked on his interpretation of Kafka for the screen by adapting three of the great writer's short stories into a trilogy, which was presented as his first feature film K that premiered at Venice International Film Festival in 2002 and was screened at the Moscow International Film Festival, the IFP Los Angeles International Film Festivals, among others.
In 2003 Shoja made the mockumentary Maria de Los Angeles, a reflection on the colonial and exploitive dimension of filmmaking in a foreign land. From 2003 until 2006, Shoja worked on Windows, a collection of nine short films that were both a formalistic experiment with film language as well as a voyeuristic glance into the lives of a people and a culture that have always seemed at a distance. Windows premiered at the Tribeca International Film Festival in 2006, Locarno film festival 2006. Windows have been also exhibited as Video art installations at many museums and galleries.
His next project, Women Without Men, a feature film written and directed in collaboration with Shirin Neshat interwove the lives of four Iranian women in the summer of 1953 – a pivotal moment in Iranian history during an American-led coup d'état. Women without Men won the Silver Lion for direction at the Venice International Film Festival in 2010. It was also screened at MOMA's renowned New Directors/New Films Festival as well as the London International Film Festival, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the Sundance International Film Festival, among others.
Shoja's short film/video installation King Of Black was exhibited at 55th Venice Art Biennale (2013.) King Of Black is one segment of seven part romantic epic poem by the 12th century poet Nezami Ganjav. Shoja has been commissioned to complete the epic poem as a feature film made up of seven video installations by the year 2018.
Currently, Shoja is in post production for his feature length film Simple Little Lives scheduled for release in the fall of 2016. He is also developing a separate feature film on the life and art of the legendary Egyptian singer Oum Kulthum that he has written and will direct in collaboration with Shirin Neshat in 2016.

UN council condemns 'heinous' IS attack in Libya
The UN Security Council on strongly condemned the "heinous" suicide bombing claimed by Islamic State in Libya.
Jan 09, 2016, 05:22 AM IST
United Nations: The UN Security Council on strongly condemned the "heinous" suicide bombing claimed by Islamic State extremists that killed dozens in Libya and called on rival groups to speed up the formation of a unity government.
More than 50 people were killed in the attack on Thursday on a police training school in the coastal city of Zliten, a security source said, in the deadliest single attack in Libya since the fall of Moamer Kadhafi.
The 15-member council described the suicide bombing as a "heinous act" and said those responsible should be brought to justice.
It also condemned a separate attack the same day on a checkpoint in Ras Lanouf, home to a key oil terminal, in which six people died including a baby.
The council "urged all parties in Libya to join efforts to combat the threat posed by transnational terrorist groups exploiting Libya for their own agenda by urgently implementing the Libyan political agreement" setting up the unity government, said a statement.
The United Nations brokered the unity government deal that was signed by politicians last month, but the agreement does not have the full backing of Libya's rival parliaments.
Libya has had rival administrations since August 2014, when an Islamist-backed militia alliance overran Tripoli, forcing the government to take refuge in the east.
EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini yesterday met in Tunis with the prime minister-designate of the new unity government, Fayez al-Sarraj, and unveiled a 100-million-euro aid package.

Stretched Thin
By Dennis Scimeca • January 25th, 2013
For the last year, I'd been thinking about going to my grandmother's assisted living facility, sitting down with my digital voice recorder and getting the story of her life. She was 93 years old and there was so much about her I didn't know.
I'd heard bits and pieces of stories about growing up during the Great Depression, or what it was like to be at a high school dance and hear the announcement that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States was at war, but I never heard the complete versions and now I never will.
When I was a kid, time crawled. Now I'm almost 40 and it flies. I should know better than to think there's always more. I only have so much time to parcel out and didn't choose to spend some of it sitting in that room with my grandmother and hearing her stories.
I chose poorly. My grandmother passed away on Tuesday, January 16th, 2013.
It's the Third Crusade and I'm a member of the Assassin's Guild traveling to Jerusalem on horseback and killing Templars, the ancient enemies of my order and invaders of the Holy Land. When I arrive at the city I receive the name of the man I am meant to kill. I leap between rooftops with power and grace. I vault down into the streets, see my target, blend into the crowds and am lost in them.
I should also know better than to buy more games than I have time to play. I can say I write about videogames and therefore have a professional motivation to buy an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3 and a Nintendo Wii and games for all three, but it's bullshit because I don't do very much game reviewing. I want all the platforms because I'm a consumer and a collector and I just want them all.
When I was a kid I owned maybe a dozen cartridges for my Nintendo Entertainment System and had even fewer games for my Super Nintendo. I never had more than a handful of PC games. I knew my games inside and out, all the secret levels and the hidden bonus objectives and whatever Easter eggs the game developers had tucked away for players to discover. No stone was left unturned and no road went untraveled.
Now I look at my huge collection of unfinished games and lie to myself that someday, maybe when I'm retired, I'll go back and finish all the games I've abandoned because then I'll finally have the time to do so.
I'm a detective in 1947 Los Angeles and the star of a film noir. I solve murders and clean up crime on the streets. I gather evidence, loudly accuse innocents, chase cars down narrow alleys and get into shootouts. The movie plays out until a frame gets caught in the virtual projector, the picture tears and I don't bother splicing it back together again.
I'm sealed away in an underground chamber to protect me from the giant asteroid that's going to strike the Earth. I awake a hundred years later to discover a post-apocalyptic society rising from the dust and a totalitarian Authority looming over it. I travel the wastelands in a ramshackle buggy armed with guns and rockets, fighting bandits in the canyons and urban wastelands that lay in between the scattered human settlements. Then a storm blows in and buries the world forever.
I have a shelf filled with games I've barely touched, and the new consoles are coming out soon. I know what happens then. Anything I haven't beaten from the last generation gets put into a cabinet alongside the cavalcade of games for my Sega Saturn, PlayStation 2, Sega Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance and the stacks of jewel cases for unbeaten PC games.
All of my current-generation games have been in the disc drives of their respective consoles at least once, but most of them will probably go into the cabinet virtually unplayed and looked at wistfully a few years from now as I wish I'd finished those adventures.
I'm an author on vacation with my wife in a tiny secluded town in Washington State. She is dragged into a lake by something and I dive in after her. When I wake up a week has passed. Shadows attack me from the darkness as I walk back to town, and I beat them back with flashlights and firearms, but eventually the scene fades to black and stays that way.
I'm in a hotel room in a resort on a tropical island. I wake up after a serious night of partying and stumble into the hallway where I'm attacked by the living dead. I'm immune to whatever's infected the island and turned almost everyone into walking corpses and it's my job to try and save the survivors, but I choose instead to shamble off and not return.
I chose to spend my time on endings rather than a stream of endless beginnings…
I was much more conservative about accruing games in 2012 from the usual fall deluge than I have been in the past. I could have afforded them all but decided to focus on the games I was really interested in. I chose not to become a steampunk assassin or fight the terrorists who took control of America's drone army, but I did save Pandora from Handsome Jack, defeated the alien invaders attacking the Earth and saved us all from the Forerunners.
I chose to spend my time on endings rather than a stream of endless beginnings and remembered the satisfaction of finishing stories versus leaving the final pages unread. I wish I'd been smart enough to apply that wisdom to something other than my videogame hobby, somewhere that it really mattered.
I'm a secret agent. I'm a zany gangster. I am Dragonborn. I'm a grandson. Then I'm nothing.
