The Red Delicious apple variety was discovered in 1875 as a chance seedling growing on Jesse Hiatt's farm in Peru, Iowa. Thinking it was a nuisance, Hiatt tried to chop down the seedling, but the tree grew back repeatedly. On the third time, Hiatt allowed it to grow and produce apples.
In 1893, Hiatt took his apple, called Hawkeye, to a fruit show in Missouri. Following the show, Stark Brothers Nursery purchased the rights to market the apple and renamed it Red Delicious.

Turkey Unsure to Look East or West for Renewable Energy Development
Posted on November 7, 2009 by Maurice Picow in Business
A wind farm in Turkey. Should Turkey look east to oil-rich countries, or west to renewables?
Turkey seems to be becoming more interested in renewable energy these days, especially in the areas of solar, geothermal like that of Ormat, and wind energy.
But the future of this country, which straddles the link between east and west, appears to be centered around a proposed amendment to a renewable energy law (links to PDF) , which although passed back in May, 2005, has yet to really become the norm in a land that is trying to decide whether to align itself with the west, resulting in eventual EU membership, or renew its ties with the Islamic World. Recent measures to dissociate itself with its ally Israel in recent weeks illuminate this dilemma.
Turkey's parliament passed a renewable energy law known as Law No. 5346 concerning the use of Renewable Energy Resources for the Generation of Electrical Energy, which went into effect on May 18, 2005.
This law, Turkey's first in regards to renewable energy, authorized the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA) to "take the necessary measures to promote the utilization of renewable energy resources".
The law provided that companies wishing to become involved in renewable energy projects could obtain a license from the EMRA to generate electricity from renewable sources and as a result only pay 1 % of the license acquisition fee; and be exempted from paying an annual license fee for a period of 8 years from the date of completion of their renewable electricity generating projects. A number of renewable energy sources are mentioned in the law, including solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, wave and tidal, and stream and river; including producing electricity from reservoirs of less then 15 sq kilometers.
The potential to produce large amounts of energy from renewable sources is very evident in Turkey, and at the time the above law went into effect, it was estimated that the potential of creating energy from biomass alone was more than 430,000 GWh or about 1% of total world energy production. Significant amounts of electricity from wind, solar and geothermal sources was also predicted.
So what happened in past 4 years that prompted Turkish lawmakers to propose an amendment to the original law in order to encourage more interest in renewable energy projects? It appears that although there was an existing law on the books, there was not being enough done by the government in order to make it worthwhile for the development of renewable energy projects, including offering an attractive "feed-in tariff" for renewable energy companies to receive from the Turkish government when these companies fed their electricity into the national grid.
In addition, the initial high costs of the renewable energy equipment discouraged individuals and companies from entering into such projects.
Those involved in renewable energy projects, including companies exhibiting renewable energy equipment at the Renex 2009 Renewable Fair, being held in Istanbul, are urging the government to pass an amendment to the existing law to allow a high enough feed-in tariff that will make renewable energy investments pay for themselves in 5 to 6 years, as in countries like Italy.
Solar energy in particular has been slow going in Turkey due to the high cost of the solar panels and other equipment. Foreign suppliers, including the Chinese company Yingli Solar, one of China's leading manufacturers of photovoltaic solar panels, is very interested in helping Turkey develop its solar energy facilities. Mr. Seok-Jin Lee, Chief Operating Officer of Yingli Solar, noted that Turkey has very good "business potential," and that due to the price of solar panels dropping as much as 40% they are now more reasonably priced. "We also hope to expand our markets into Europe, including Italy, Spain, Southeastern Europe, Slovakia and the Czech Republic", Lee added.
German renewable energy companies are also interested in Turkey, especially in the field of geothermal energy: "Turkey is a key market for German renewable energy firms," notes Professor Rolf Bracke, at the Geothermal Center of Germany's Ruhr-University in Bochum.
As a Turkey-in-conflict stands between the east and the west, it will be interesting to see in which direction it ultimately takes. The side of the EU, or that of Iran and the east.

Joanna Noëlle Levesque (* 20. prosince 1990 Brattleboro, Vermont) je americká zpěvačka, skladatelka písní, producentka a herečka, známa spíše pod pseudonymem JoJo. Od roku 2020 je také spoludržitelkou ceny Grammy se zpěvákem PJem Mortonem za nejlepší R&B píseň díky jejich písní Say So.

Do showbusinessu se dostala v roce 2004 s platinovým albem nesoucím její jméno, které se dostalo až na čtvrté místo amerického albového žebříčku. Cizí ji není ani herectví, zazářila ve třech amerických filmech (Aquamarine, RV a Opravdový příběh hollywoodské hvězdičky).

Její druhé albem nazvané The High Road vyšlo 17. října 2006. Třetí album Mad Love vyšlo 14. října 2016 a čtvrté album Good to Know vyšlo 1. května 2020.

Život
JoJo se narodila ve Brattleboro ve Vermontu. Ačkoli je rodilá Američanka, má irské, polské a francouzské kořeny. Vyrůstala na předměstí Bostonu v rodině, která neměla moc velké příjmy.

Její otec Joel Levesque je bluesový zpěvák a matka Diana zpívala v katolickém sboru a pracovala jako domovnice. Její rodiče se rozvedli, když byly JoJo čtyři roky, v současné době žije její matka v New Jersey a její otec bydlí v New Hampshire.

Během raného dětství začala se svou matkou zpívat křesťanské chvalozpěvy. Už od dvou let doma imitovala svou matku před zrcadlem. Na A&Eově přehlídce dětských hvězd III proklamovala Diana svou dceru jako génia s vysokým IQ.

Více se projevila ale až v soutěži "Děti říkají proklaté věci": Na cestě do Bostonu, tam se JoJo lidem předvedla jako Aretha Franklin a všem zazpívala její největší hit Respect. Host této soutěže Bill Cosby byl jejím výkonem nadšen a zanedlouho ji pozval do známé Oprah Winfrey Show, aby mu tam zazpívala.

JoJo žila v Edgewater v New Jersey se svou matkou až do věku 18 let, když se na rok přestěhovala sama do Bostonu. Nyní žije v Los Angeles.

JoJo chodila s americkým fotbalistou Freddym Aduou od května 2005 do září 2006. Pár se setkal na MTV show Fake ID Club, když tuto akci JoJo moderovala. JoJo odhalila na American Top 40 s Ryanem Seacrestem, že ona a Adu jsou stále dobrými přáteli.

V srpnu 2009 vystudovala střední školu. Byla přijata na Northeastern University, ale nezúčastnila se studia.

JoJo je také zastáncem různých charitativních organizací, jako např. Boys and Girls Club of America, World Vision, She's the First a Make A Wish Foundation.

Hudební kariéra
JoJo začala používat svou přezdívku v mládí, když se objevila v další soutěži, tentokrát se jednalo o křesťanský festival aneb nejtalentovanější děti Ameriky. Tam si jí všiml producent Vincent Herbert a pozval ji do studia na zkoušku.
Během zkoušky o ní prohlásil, že je to nová Aaliyah, JoJo podepsala smlouvu a začala spolupracovat se známými producenty.

2004-2005: začátky kariéry a debutové album JoJo
Debutová píseň Leave (Get Out), která vyšla v roce 2004 se stala mezinárodním hitem. V americké hitparádě Billboard Hot 100 se dostala až na dvanácté místo, v Austrálii a Velké Británii se dostala dokonce na stupně vítězů, konkrétně na druhé místo.

Když se dostala na první místo hitparády Top 40 Mainstream, stala se historicky nejmladším umělcem, kterému se to povedlo, bylo ji pouhých 13 let. O pár měsíců později se stala také nejmladší nominovanou zpěvačkou v historii cen MTV.

Debutové album s názvem JoJo se dostalo v Americe až na číslo čtyři, kde se jej prodalo více než 1,5 milionu kusů. Další píseň z alba se jmenovala Baby, It's You, která se v americké hitparádě dostala na číslo dvacet dva, v Británii na osmičku.
Poslední vydaná píseň z alba Jojo se stala Not That Kinda Girl, která vyšla v roce 2005, moc dobře se jí ale nevedlo.

V roce 2004 se zúčastnila charitativní akce ve prospěch obětí ničivé tsunami. Zúčastnila se také jiné charitativní akce, tentokrát benefice Laury Bushové, manželky George Bushe, která bojuje proti rakovině.

2006: druhé album The High Road
Na druhém ročníků hledání dětských talentů, zazpívala JoJo premiérově píseň Anything, která byla první předzvěstí jejího dalšího alba. V létě 2006 už oficiálně vydala píseň, která se jmenovala Too Little Too Late, která se zapsala do historie americké hitparády Billboard Hot 100 jako největší skok, a to z čísla 63 rovnou na místo třetí. Tato píseň se stala zatím její nejúspěšnější.

Recenze na její nové album The High Road, které vyšlo 17. října, pak byly více než pozitivní. V jednom vydání častopisu Entertainment Weekly ji nazvali novou Mariah Carey.

Album v americkém albovém žebříčku debutovalo na čísle tři, s albem jí pomohly takové producentské veličiny jako Scott Storch nebo Corey Williams. Jako další píseň z alba vyšla rovnou dvoupíseň, a to songy How Touch to a Girl a Anything.

2007-2013: problémy s vydavatelstvím a nezveřejněné třetí album
Na konci roku 2007 uvedla, že bude psát písničky pro své třetí album, které bude vydáno, když jí bude 18 let. Také uvedla, že chce, aby její fanoušci viděli růst ve své hudbě.

V rozhovoru z dubna 2008 JoJo uvedla, že píše a produkuje připravované album v Bostonu a Atlantě.

3. června 2009 JoJo na svém YouTube účtu uvedla, že čeká, až její nahrávací společnost podepíše distribuční smlouvu a zveřejní její album. Během několika následujících měsíců uniklo téměř 20 jejich skladeb na YouTube. V srpnu 2009 bylo oznámeno, že JoJo podala v New Yorku žalobu proti své nahrávací společnosti Da Family Entertainment. JoJo byla propuštěna z její smlouvy v říjnu 2009 a podepsala smlouvu s Blackground Records.

Mixtape Can't Take That Away vyšel v září 2010.

V únoru 2011 nahrála na YouTube video, v němž oznámila, že natáčí video pro novou píseň s názvem "The Other Chick" a že změnila název alba z All I Want Is Everything na Jumping Trains. 29. srpna 2011 byl
vydán singl Disaster.

Poté, co společnost Blackground Records ztratila distribuční smlouvu prostřednictvím společnosti Interscope Records na konci roku 2012, což opět způsobilo zpoždění vydání alba, JoJo začala nahrávat nový materiál. 15. listopadu 2012 oznámila zveřejnění Mixtapu s názvem Agápē, což v řečtině znamená "bezpodmínečná láska". Projekt byl vydán zdarma prostřednictvím digitálního stahování ke svým 22. narozeninám 20. prosince 2012.

30. července 2013 bylo oznámeno, že JoJo podala žalobu proti jejím nahrávacím společnostím Blackground Records a Da Family za "nenapravitelné škody na její profesní kariéře". Argumentovala tim, že nezletilé osoby nemohou podepisovat smlouvy, které trvají déle než sedm let podle práva státu New York, a proto tvrdí, že jelikož její smlouva byla podepsána v roce 2004, její smlouva měla skončit v roce 2011. V prosinci 2013 se obě strany dohodly, že se spor vyřeší mimosoudně.

Původní třetí album nikdy nevydala. Na období problémů dodnes stále vzpomíná. Časem uvedla, že prezident společnosti Blackground Records jí řekl, že album je stále nezveřejněné kvůli jejímu vzhledu, a dokonce tehdy osmnáctileté JoJo navrhli krutý dietní plán, který povoloval pouhých 500 kalorií za den. JoJo nebyla s tímto výrokem spokojená a ohradila se proti tomu, nicméně po čase prezidentovi společnosti vyhověla. Navíc jí začali aplikovat injekce, které měly potlačovat chuť k jídlu. Své problémy se sebevědomím začala řešit alkoholem. Prozradila, že se diví, že to období přežila. S pitím nakonec přestala jen kvůli jejímu otci, který měl trpěl závislostí. Často jí prý lidé říkali, že problémy s vydavatelstvím nikdy nevyřeší a navrhovali jí, aby s hudbou přestala a místo toho studovala.

2014-2018: změna nahrávací společnosti, třetí album Mad Love a opětovné vydání předchozích alba
14. ledna 2014 bylo oznámeno, že byla propuštěna ze smluv s předchozími nahrávacími společnostmi a podepsala novou smlouvu o nahrávání se společností Atlantic Records. 14. února vydala EP #LoveJo.

5. srpna 2015 byly znovu spuštěny její webové stránky. 20. srpna 2015 vydala EP III. Všechny tři písně z EP vyšly jako singly. EP nazývala "tringle" a sloužil jako náhled pro její třetí studiové album. Na podporu vydání se JoJo pustila do svého prvního světového turné I Am JoJo Tour v listopadu 2015. Dne 18. prosince 2015 vydala pokračování k #LoveJo s názvem #LoveJo2.

V červnu 2016 skupina Fifth Harmony oznámila, že JoJo bude
jejich předskokankou na turné The 7/27 Tour. Dne 27. července 2016 vydala hlavní singl Fuck Apologies k třetímu albu Mad Love, které vydala 14. října 2016. Jedná se o první vydáné album JoJo po v té době deset let starém druhém albu.

V lednu 2017 se vydala na čtyřměsíční koncertní turné po Severní Americe a Evropě. V srpnu 2017 oznámila její odchod z Atlantic Records společně s oznámením své nové nahrávací společnosti Clover Music ve společné dohodě s Interscope Records.

V dubnu 2018 oznámila turné Leaks, Covers & Mixtapes Tour, které začalo 29. května. 20. prosince 2018, v den svých 28. narozenin, oznámila plány na opětovné vydání a nahrání jejich prvních dvou alb. Následující den JoJo znovu vydala svoje debutové album a druhé album, stejně jako její singly Demonstrate a Disaster. Opětovné vydání obsahuje mírně přepracovanou produkci.

2019-současnost: čtvrté album Good to Know
V lednu 2019 uvedla, že už nespolupracuje s Interscope Records a nyní se spojí s Warner Records. 12. února 2019 oznámila vydání nového singlu Say So, který je spolupráce se zpěvákem PJ Morton. Píseň vyhrála v roce 2020 cenu Grammy za nejlepší R&B píseň. 10. října 2019, prostřednictvím Instagramu oznámila, že vydá nový singl Joanna o půlnoci, následovaný hudebním videem, které bude mít premiéru následující den.

JoJo ohlásila nové album Good to Know přes Instagram, které vyšlo 1. května 2020. Turné k albu je naplánováné k zahájení během listopadu 2020. Hlavní singl Man z alba byl vydán 13. března 2020. Deluxe verze alba vyšla 28. srpna. JoJo původně plánovala zahrnout na tuto verzi alba spolupráci s kanadským rapperem Tory Lanezem, ale před vydáním alba vyšlo najevo, že rapperka Megan Thee Stallion utrpěla střelná zranění od rappera v červenci 2020. JoJo nakonec na albu zahrnula sólovou verzi jejich písně Comeback. Deluxe verze alba nabízí remix písně Lonely Hearts s Demi Lovato a 5 nových písních jako například píseň What U Need nebo Love Reggae se zpěvačkou Tinashe.

Herectví
Její první film, ve kterém si zahrála, je Aquamarine. Aquamarine je americký romantický komediální film z roku 2006 režisérky Elizabeth Allen. Společně s JoJo hrají další hlavní role Emma Roberts a Sara Paxton. Film vyšel ve Spojených státech 3. března 2006.

Dále si zahrála hlavní roli ve filmu RV (česky: Rodinná dovolená a jiná neštěstí) ,což je rodinný komediální film z roku 2006 režiséra Barryho Sonnenfelda. Společně ve filmu hrají Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines, Josh Hutcherson, Kristin Chenoweth a Jeff Daniels. Film byl vydán 28. dubna 2006.

Poté zazářila v hlavní roli ve filmu True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet (česky: Opravdový příběh hollywoodské hvězdičky). Film je americký komediálně-dramatický televizní film z roku 2008, režírovaný Timem Mathesonem. Film měl premiéru 9. srpna 2008.

Také si v roce 2017 zahrála v jedné epizodě seriálu Smrtonosná zbraň. Šlo o díl Zrozen k útěku (anglicky: Born to Run), což je třetí díl druhé série seriálu.

Arts & Heritage Center
2018 Exhibits
What's The Point?: Catherine Kirkland
May 6 - August 26, 2018
In this solo exhibit, Catherine Kirkland answers the question, "What's the Point?" visually, through her brightly colored, pointillist paintings. In brief, pointillism is the creation of a visual effect through the application of spots of color that blend in the viewer's eyes, which then appear to the viewer as luminous, brilliant colors and shapes.
Ms. Kirkland demonstrates her unique take on this neo-impressionist, labor-intensive painting technique in her latest works.
Ms. Kirkland's influences include: Vance Kirkland, world-renowned 20th century pointillist painter from Denver; David S. Parker, a contemporary painter also from Denver; as well as 19th century pointillist painters Georges Seurat, Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Signac.

"Born Again and Again: Jesus' Call to Radical Transformation" - Megan K. Westra
There's little denying that I follow what would be considered a more progressive theology, a fact that likely explains why I didn't necessarily find first-time author Megan K. Westra's "Born Again and Again: Jesus' Call to Radical Transformation" to be that particularly radical.
There will be those who disagree.
There will be those, gratefully, who will read the words of "Born Again and Again" and a light bulb will go off inside and an "Aha!" moment will follow that leads to, one can hope, changes in both beliefs and practices along the faith journey.
For most who've lived into a more progressive theology, however, "Born Again and Again" will likely read like more of the same with one huge and incredibly important exception - Westra takes the time to deeply explore the scriptural basis for this "radical transformation" and puts a good majority of it into historical context.
Bravo for that.
Westra is on the pastoral staff team at Milwaukee's Transformation City Church, a multi-ethnic non-denominational church that began in the fall of 2007 with a basic question - "What can the church be?"
Indeed, that question seems to be at the core of "Born Again and Again," a book that calls us into connection over consumption and challenges Christians to turn off all the things we expect being "saved" to get us - a good job, a spouse, happiness, a life of comfort, some sense of authority - and settle into the idea that all we're supposed to truly "get" is Jesus.
What if Christianity isn't about possessing but about renouncing, Westra asks? What if we are called not to treat salvation as one more thing to acquire but to conform to Christ?
Where "Born Again and Again" excels is in Westra's scriptural and historical explorations of how a religion birthed on the margins of the Roman Empire became functionally the "official" religion of contemporary society's largest military superpower. Christianity has, in essence, gone from the fringes of society to a dominating presence and "Born Again and Again," at its core, questions whether that domination is really what Christ intended for our lives.
Hint. He didn't, at least not if you believe those red letters.
The doctrine that has resulted all too often has led to planet-killing lifestyles, civil religion, domination over the very types of people Jesus spent most of his time with, and the doctrine of discovery.
Jesus gave up everything to come to humanity; humanity, all too often, seeks to acquire everything when coming to Jesus.
Westra's basic argument in this 226-page manifesto of transformation is that conforming to Christ radically reorients our lives, priorities, and faith away from this dominating mode of acquisition and into a pattern of discipleship that sets us free from fear-based consumption of people, places, and things and releases us into radically transforming possibilities for connection and true belonging within a community of God's people.
"Born Again and Again" explores salvation, Westra's own and the cultural understanding of what salvation has been and what it has become over the years. Westra challenges us to expand our view of salvation before transitioning into what is really a series of essays illustrating the ways that Christianity has spiraled into a consumption-oriented faith rather than the connecting, transforming faith it is intended to be. Exploring such topics as politics, finances, abuse/violence, the roles of women, racial justice, and ending toward the sacredness of Communion, "Born Again and Again" is a consistent and structured exploration of each topic along with a brief but pointed exegesis of scripture and exploration of applicability personally and universally.
Westra's work here is most transforming when exploring how salvation has in some ways been hijacked over the years into its acquisition mode that often contradicts its intent. For much of her book, Westra weaves this transforming tapestry into her words and beautifully balances theology and practicality of daily Christian living. At times, however, "Born Again and Again" settles into a talking point comfort zone, most obviously when discussing both financial concerns and social justice concerns, and "Born Again and Again" dances a little close to conflict with its own central tenet.
In other words, on fortunately rare occasions it feels like "radical transformation" becomes yet another theological "thing" to acquire rather than a fluid and natural result of salvation allowing us to deepen our relationship with Christ and with each other.
It should be stressed, however, that this is a minor concern in a book that is both inspiring and educational as Westra, perhaps more than a good majority of Christian authors, doesn't simply call readers into a transforming faith but reinforces through analysis of scripture and historical research why this is what has been intended all along.
An exciting and inspirational author who is already popular as a speaker, Megan K. Westra makes her literary debut with a book that arrives at an opportunity time in America as COVID-19 has transformed the way we do church and passionate cries for social justice are echoing at decibels heard before but not being ignored for the first time in years.
"Born Again and Again: Jesus' Call to Radical Transformation" is scheduled for release on August 11, 2020 by Herald Press.

\section*{Introduction}

\indent \indent DIBs are intriguing absorption structures of interstellar origin,
observed in the spectra of reddened stars of early spectral types.
 The first two bands of this kind were described by Heger in 1922.
 DIBs, as we know them today, are scattered within the whole region
of visible light and in the near infrared. For the extended review
of the topic see e.g. \cite{herbig}. Many DIB carriers have been
proposed over the years. They ranged from dust grains to free
molecules  of very different sizes and structures
\cite{herbig_leka}. Individual DIBs differ strongly between
themselves in intensity, line width and profile shapes.

\indent There is a respectable body of opinion that a single carrier
can not be responsible for all known DIBs \cite{krelovski88}.
 The evidence that DIBs do not originate in a single carrier raised
the question of whether we can divide them into sets characterized
by constant strength ratios. Such sets might then be the spectral
signature of a single carrier which would facilitate an identification
 of the DIB carriers. Kre\l owski and Walker \cite{krelovski87} attempted to group
 the observed DIBs into `families', with each set of features having
constant strength ratios and thus having a common origin.  However,
the proposed families have not been clearly confirmed by the recent
observations. The correlations among the strong DIBs usually suffer
some scatter, which suggests that no pair of these strong DIBs is of
 the same origin.

\indent The general question of DIB families remains an important one, but
with ambiguous results so far; it seems clear that DIBs within certain
 groups correlate better internally than with nonmembers of the group,
but at the same time the correlations are not perfect as might be
expected for features arising from a truly common carrier. The
recent discoveries of numerous very weak DIBs \cite{galazutdinov}
provides a new challenge and new opportunity to seek bands that have
common carriers.

\indent Advanced study of the problem of spectroscopic families was
done by Wszo\l ek and God\l owski \cite{wszolek}. The authors
analysed relatively strong DIBs as well as very weak ones. They
applied three different methods to separate spectroscopic families
of DIBs and explored the best approach for future investigations of
this type. On the basis of their methods authors suggested some
candidates as spectroscopic `relatives' of 5780 and 5797 \AA. Weak
DIBs  5776 and 5795  tend to join 5780 \AA \,band, and 5793, 5818,
5829, 5850 bands seem to belong to spectroscopic family of 5797 \AA.
Using the same methods as Wszo\l ek and God\l owski \cite{wszolek}
we continue our search for spectroscopic families and here we
present some of more interesting results.

\section*{Observational Data}
\indent \indent All the spectra analysed for the purpose of this
contribution were taken from the archives of  Kre\l owski
(Astronomical Centre, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru\'n,
Poland). We used spectra acquired at the McDonald Observatory with
an echelle spectrograph fed with the 2.1-m telescope, covering the
spectral range from 5655 to 7020 \AA \ \cite{krelovski93}. Spectra
have S/N ratios of approximately  200 and a resolution R of about 64
000. We have used spectra for 74 target stars.

\section*{Data Analysis}
\indent \indent After the initial routine spectra reduction, like continuum division or
 dividing by standard to remove telluric lines, we have measured EWs and
depths for several DIBs covering spectral range from 5600 to 7000 \AA.
 Then we drew correlation diagrams for pairs of bands and we calculated
correlation coefficients. There exist many arguments that DIBs 5797
and 5850 have the same carrier. Almost all procedures isolating
DIBs' families indicate that 5797 and 5850 bands tend to belong to
the same family. Figures 1-2 are to show how good is correlation of
5850 with 5797 and how bad it is with 5780 \AA \,band.

\indent We have done dozens of similar correlation diagrams and
looked for pairs of DIBs which are relatively well mutually
correlated. We found that strong DIBs: 6196, 6203, 6270 and 6614 are
very good mutually correlated (coefficient of correlation for pairs
of them usually equals 0.99). They all are quite well correlated
also with 5780 band. We have found that strong DIB at  6379 \AA \,is
relatively bad correlated with 5780 and 5797 DIBs. It is also bad
correlated with 6196 and 6203 DIBs. We have also learnt that one has
to be very careful using only formal correlation between considered
DIBs as a criteria of belonging to any spectroscopic family. When we
correlate EWs of strong and very weak DIBs,  correlation may be much
worse due to measuring errors. Probably this is why intensity of
strong 5797 DIB is not strictly correlated with its much
 weaker `relative' - 5850 band (see Fig. 2). These two DIBs most probably
belong to the same spectroscopic family and they are not strictly
correlated.

\section*{Discussion}
\indent \indent To isolate spectroscopic families one needs very
good observational data and one has to do very precise spectral
analysis. As a result of our investigations, we qualified 5780,
6196, 6203, 6270 and 6614 DIBs as good candidates to the same
spectroscopic family. The 5780 DIB is the weakest candidate here. If
5780 does not belong to this family, it has to be a representative
of separate spectroscopic family.

\indent Studying correlation diagrams we have also found that a strong DIB at
6379 \AA \, is a very probable representative of the new spectroscopic family.
 More extensive investigations, being currently in progress, will allow
us to indicate probable family members joining their representative.

\section*{Acknowledgements} We would like to thank Professor Kre\l owski
for giving us an access to his data archives.

Want to build a fire pit?
Do you want a cheap fire pit? Want to build a homemade fire pit but don't have many construction skills? A DIY fire pit is easy and cheap if you just get creative! Here you'll find interesting new ideas for how to build a fire pit without spending a lot of money and without a lot of work. If you get really creative you can even make a barbecue pit that you can grill food on!
Here's a creative fire pit that didn't cost a penny for the folks on this great farm!
Tractor Tire Rim Fire Pit - Yup! Its as simple as that! Find yourself a big rim from a tractor tire and lay it down on its side. Finding one might be a bit easier for you country folks. But if you live in the city, you can often find junk dealers or junk heaps where you can find an old rusty tire rim or buy one for dirt cheap. Just lay that rim down on its side on a non-flammable surface (concrete, gravel or dirt works fine). Surround it with large stones or bricks, what ever you have available, to keep it from moving around. If you are on a surface that you don't want to "blacken" then just lay down a piece of fire-resistant metal underneath first to protect your floor. Thats it! Throw in your wood and kindling and you'll have yourself a nice bon fire in no time! If you can find a grill grate that is slightly larger than the top of the tire rim, you can lay it on top and grill a delicious meal right on your cheap fire pit. Important note: if you are going to build a fire without a mesh lid to protect from flying embers which could ignite flammable materials nearby, make sure to place your fire pit far away from structures or trees which could catch fire!
Washing Machine Drum Fire Pit - One Fire Pit and Grilling Guru visitor told me that he made a fire pit out of the inside drum of a discarded washing machine. He simply buried it about 12 inches and placed stones around it and voila! a free, easy fire pit to enjoy! Getting creative like that is a perfect way to save money and still have a functional and fun outdoor fire pit.
Stone fire pit - The ultimate in cheap fire pits. If you have a big enough space and the area is free of flammable stuff, simply dig a small depression in the dirt or gravel, surround it with stones and throw in your firewood! Its as simple as that. Again, be sure there are no flammable materials around which could be ignited by the fire or flying embers. If you choose the size of your rocks well (you'll need big ones) and you make the size right, you can even lay a grill grate on top of your homemade fire pit to barbecue great food over your fire!
Can you think of other creative homemade fire pit ideas? The Firepit and Grilling Guru and my readers would love to hear and see your ideas!

WWE 2K16 splits the difference between sports and entertainment
by Kyle Fowle
Yuke's
2KSports
Six weeks ago, when I was in San Francisco to test drive the new WWE videogame from 2k, I spoke with Daniel Bryan, one of WWE's biggest stars who's currently sitting on the sidelines, recovering from a nasty, recurring neck injury. A few months earlier, on WWE's flagship show Monday Night Raw, he announced that he'd be out of action for an undetermined amount of time and that he'd be vacating his Intercontinental Championship. It was a real, emotional moment in a world often labeled as "fake."
So the first thing I asked him was this: "If I play as Daniel Bryan in WWE 2K16, will there be a part where you get injured, give a pseudo-retirement speech, and I end up crying?" He laughed and said that he couldn't guarantee that such a scene wasn't in there but that he hoped the videogame version of him would be safe. It was an icebreaker question, one meant to ease into the rest of the interview, but I realize now that it also touched on something important when it comes to discussing wrestling, or, in preferred WWE terminology, sports entertainment: the blurring of reality and fiction.
Videogames, especially last year's 2K version, have struggled to capture what makes wrestling, and wrestling fandom, so unique. 2K's overall approach to creating a WWE game last year seemed to be based on what they do best, which is creating realistic, detailed sports games. The trouble is, wrestling isn't exactly a sport, and that flawed approach is evidenced in last year's lackluster game. It makes sense that 2K would struggle to navigate the line between sports and entertainment because that's exactly the type of identity crisis WWE has been going through for years now.
What WWE 2K16 does right, despite the numerous issues that make the game a frustrating experience, is embrace the artificiality of sports entertainment, and it comes at a time when WWE is doing the same thing by airing behind-the-scenes shows like Breaking Ground on the WWE Network and allowing wrestlers to have personalities on social media outside of the ring. So much of wrestling is a construct, and what past WWE games have failed to do is use that construct to its advantage.
What WWE 2K16 does right is embrace the artificiality of sports entertainment
When playing through the MyCareer mode in WWE 2K16, you'll be inundated with a number of decisions that will influence how your character grows and behaves. You'll be given the option to attack certain wrestlers on any given night, or align yourself with evil managers. These decisions influence a number of categories that define your wrestler, be it Charisma, Desperation, Boldness, or any other number of characteristics. What they all build towards is what's important though: whether your character is face or heel, the wrestling terms for, respectively, good guy and bad guy.
By using and engaging with the terminology of the wrestling business, and by so blatantly calling attention to the artificiality of the characters, WWE 2K15 actually presents a more realistic and engaging experience than previous games. Rather than stacking up attributes as you would in NBA 2K16—such a system is still in place, but not as integral to the game—MyCareer present a more nuanced approach, one where allegiances, actions, and backstage dialogue decisions influence the narrative.
And really, that's what's so compelling about professional wrestling. The artifice is part of the appeal; sure, there's the element of complete surprise, but what makes watching wrestling a unique experience is the ability to pick out certain signifiers that suggest what may happen in the narrative. Fans know that wrestling storylines are mostly comprised of a series of behind-the-scenes decisions, so putting those decisions into the game, specifically in the expansive MyCareer mode, makes for a more compelling and fun experience.
Even the 2K Showcase, which returns this year in a much cleaner, more interesting form and follows the career of Stone Cold Steve Austin, finds rewards in embracing the fiction of wrestling. As you play through the many pivotal matches of Austin's career, it's not the finishing moves and near pinfalls that make the mode so enjoyable, but rather the cut scenes, promos, and narrated pieces of WWE content that detail everything going on outside the ring. Wrestling, at its core, is about the battle between good and evil, in the most operatic way possible. The 2K Showcase understands that wrestling isn't a sport, where statistics and attributes matter more than anything else; it's a soap opera and an outsized TV drama made up of humans with impossibly ripped bodies who defy physics, and the action is only compelling if the dialogue and scenes around it are compelling.
Wrestling, at its core, is about the battle between good and evil, in the most operatic way possible.
While the ideology that WWE 2K16 pushes across most of its modes suggests an understanding that wrestling videogames need to be distanced from the aesthetic and mechanics of sports games, after which they've traditionally been modeled, the game never really goes far enough in embracing the outsized soap opera that is sports entertainment. There's still too much sports DNA in WWE 2K16; whether it's the sluggish submission and reversal system that makes every move feel mechanical or the MyCareer mode still starting out with dull matches at the NXT Performance Center, WWE 2K16 never fully embraces the lunacy and surreal nature of professional wrestling. Despite relative improvements in presentation, WWE 2K16 ultimately makes a crucial mistake when it comes to understanding professional wrestling: the fiction is a lot more fun than the reality.

I like retro games, so I'm trying to write a Zork machine in Rust. That said, I'm brand new to Rust, so I've decided to take smaller bites of the language until I'm a little bit more comfortable with how it works. This post is the story of one of these smaller projects.
This is the third part of a series on beginning rust. You may wish to read part 1 and part 2 first.
Last time, I mentioned that I was starting up Rust again, and mentioned some helpful videos and thoughts that will help me as I take another swing at learning this language. The complete source for the examples I'll use today is on GitHub, and you should be able to download it and cargo run without much trouble. If you don't have Rust and Cargo, you want to install rustup first.

Concert Review: Powerhouse vocalist Jung Yong Hwa delivers at first solo concert
Gwendolyn Ng
https://str.sg/3QfN
Korean rock band CNBlue frontman Jung Yong Hwa put up a one man show on May 31.
He did a fine job at his first solo concert here, sans his three bandmates - bassist Lee Jung Shin, drummer Kang Min Hyuk and guitarist Lee Jong Hyun. The pop-rock quartet CNBlue had previously staged full-length concerts here last year (2014) and in 2013.
At the One Fine Day concert at The Star Theatre, the 25-year-old Jung was the powerhouse vocalist, the entertaining emcee and his own keyboardist.
The charismatic showman captivated the over 4,000 strong crowd with songs from the CNBlue repertoire and his first solo album, One Fine Day, which was released in January.
Two songs into the 17-song setlist, he managed to rouse the enthusiastic audience to their feet, while waving the official concert light stick.
The crowd was spontaneous throughout the two-hour show and I found myself having to stand to get a view of the stage for a good part of the concert.
There was a good mix of quiet and high-octane moments.
The chameleon performer transitioned effortlessly from fired-up rocker with uplifting cheer song Ryu Can Do It, to emotive balladeer with the stirring ballad Last Leaf, while plonking away on the keyboard.
The singer-songwriter took the trouble to inject fresh arrangements into songs with a mash-up medley of CNBlue hits such as I'm Sorry and Can't Stop.
He also transformed CNBlue's light-hearted romantic song, Love Light, into a breezy beach tune which evolved into a heartpumping rock number.
Nevermind that there were no guest stars. The versatile singer filled in for his duet partners, which include the likes of Singapore's pop prince JJ Lin, and Korean rapper Verbal Jint.
Lin and Jung worked on the Korean- Mandarin-English pop-rock tune Checkmate that was featured on album One Fine Day. They wrote the lyrics together and Jung penned the melody.
He powered through the dynamic Checkmate, belting out his Korean lyrics and Lin's part in Mandarin.
Another duet, titled Energy, was interspersed with rap that was originally performed by Verbal Jint. At the concert, Jung took on double duty - switching between soulful crooning and busting out the rap.
Ironically, there's a line in the song that goes "I'm out of energy". Far from letting his battery go flat, he wiggled and grooved throughout the entire show.
He obliterated any chance of an awkward pauses, filling almost every moment with random antics. For instance, he playfully cajoled an unsuspecting crew member who fixed his "trouble" (he meant microphone) onstage into dancing.
He declared his appreciation Singapore style, saying "Thank you lah", and ad libbed, singing "Oh Singapore, are you having fun? Oh Baby." into lively song Mileage.
Sometimes, he would even stop dead in his tracks to elicit deafening cheers from the crowd.
Ending off with the title track to his album One Fine Day, he declared: "Today is one fine day because of you."
I'm sure the audience thought so too.

I love that we (as a culture, perhaps) make up new words. "Hangry" is a popular one for me; it is great at conveying that the physical state of hunger, or a blood sugar crash, becomes so much more than just a physical problem. It effects you mentally and emotionally as well. But let's flip that around. Can you be spiritually "hangry"? And does that bleed in to other areas of your life?
Before I go any further, I'm going to jot down the phases of physical hangriness as I experience them. This is fun.
DISTRACTION. Being a Focus Fox, I (normally passively) decide that whatever I'm currently doing is more important than eating. So I don't refuel my body and a lot of time goes by. For a while, it's no big deal.
NEGLECT. After some time, my body gets hungry and complains with tummy pangs or gurgles. I ignore those of course because I'm being productive!
MELTDOWN. Then I start to get tired or feel weak. I may get a headache. I have trouble thinking clearly. My mouth doesn't want to make the word sense. My belly button is now trying to hug the backside of my spinal cord. This makes me unhappy.
FAILURE. Noticing my fatigue and mental failure, I get frustrated with myself and others. I can't accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish! If someone tries to talk to me, I can't respond as a normal human should. So now I behave like an angry cavewoman.
If I'm lucky, my husband rescues me by putting food in front of me and gives me time to eat, digest, and I return to a civil human being.
If I'm not lucky, I have a lot of apologizing to do later.
So yes, when you deprive your body of food it can effect your mind, emotions and behaviors. Therefore, "hangry" is a thing and it has taught me many hard lessons about taking care of my body.
Obviously we're not just physical beings. We have souls, too, and those souls need to be fed also. I wish fried chicken and hushpuppies did the trick, but I'm talking about a different kind of soul food.
What does your spirit eat?
The greatest nourishment for your soul is unconditional love, acceptance, belonging and faith in something bigger than the crap life throws our way. This is what Jesus offered believers when He said "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again." in John 6:35. And this is what we are to offer each other; our friends and spouses, our kids and siblings, our neighbors and even strangers.
DISTRACTION. Being easily distracted, I skip daily prayer/meditation and find reasons not to go to Church or a small group study. For a while, it's no big deal.
NEGLECT. After some time, my spirit pangs with a craving for connection. I think of old friends or wish I had someone to talk too (which I totally do, but that wishing is the hunger that I sometimes push aside).
MELTDOWN. Then, I start to feel disconnected, misunderstood and unable to understand others. I fixate on mistakes from my past. I roll in to Negativity City. I exercise less. I eat crap food.
FAILURE. Noticing my crotchety-ness and miserable attitude, I'm more annoyed. I find more "reasons" to be miserable. I lose sight of my passion and purpose and instead assume failure. So I behave like a hermit and withdraw with a pan of dark chocolate brownies.
If I'm lucky, I hear a good sermon or worship song that revives me and my husband snaps me back to reality with a gentle caution about my attitude, and I return to a kinder, more loving person.
To recap: when you deprive our soul of love and connection with God and others, it can effect your mind, emotions and behaviors in a bad, bad way. Spiritual hangriness has taught me many painful lessons about taking care of my soul.
Good news is, you never have to be hangry physically or spiritually. You only have to decide to take care of yourself, and nourish your body and soul. Learn to recognize the pangs of hunger and satisfy it before it turns you in to a monster!
At least that's the goal. Sometimes we make mistakes or let things get too far out of control. Part of training our mind, body, and soul is to learn from the mistakes and do better the next time around. That's what I'm working on.
How do you make sure you feed your body and soul?
This is the best! Hangry is real, and I'm totally prone to experiencing it!


Imelda May, was born in Dublin and raised in the Liberties, she may be a new female singer unknown to some, but to many she is already a special star with a unique strength in her vocal range. She is unmistakable both in her music (a mix of guitars, blues and rockabilly ) and her style. In Ireland, her debut album 'Love Tattoo', which she recorded and released on her own label, has gone Triple Platinum. She has shared a stage with U2, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Scissor Sisters, and Lionel Richie.
Imelda May who is already a star in her native Ireland, now she is taking the UK by storm with her stunning single 'Psycho.' Her self-released first album Love Tattoo has already gone triple platinum in Ireland! Her unmistakable style and sound have aptly made Imelda one 2010's most exciting new artists!
Imelda began singing in clubs when she was 16 years old and had the honour of being occasionally barred from her own shows at Dublin's Bruxelles club for being underage. "I was getting tips from the best musicians in Dublin. One of them said, 'Your voice is great, but it needs to roughen." It was around this time, when driving a tearful Imelda to a gig, that her father asked her "Is your heart broken? Excellent. Now you can sing the blues". Remembered by Imelda as a turning point in her life, from then on her voice developed into the sultry, rich and unique tone you hear today.
By 2006 she was itching to go solo, and formed her own band. "We started out a bit jazzier, but it needed balls and roughing up which it got." Her debut album, "Love Tattoo" was soon released and started to get noticed. Catching the attention of Jools Holland in 2008 she supported him on tour which led to him requesting her to appear on Later. Here she performed to an audience that included Jeff Beck, Elbow and Roots Manuva and afterwards Beck made a point of telling Holland that he was only there to see Imelda. In 2009, Imelda knocked Bruce Springsteen off No. 1 to become the first female Irish artist to top the Irish album charts since Mary Black nearly 20 years ago. She then went on to win Female Artist of the Year at the Irish Meteor Awards. Despite album success, Imelda continued to tour, playing to over 400 000 people in 8 countries across Europe and the US – including, most recently a US tour with Jamie Cullum.
Imelda has not only caught people's attention musically, her striking style and unmistakable cool but quirky 50s look has led her to grace the front cover of the Irish Sunday Times Style.
2010 got off to an auspicious start when Imelda accepted an offer from Jeff Beck to perform with him at the Grammys. This was followed in April by a two night support slot in London with one of her idols, Wanda Jackson.
Her new album 'Mayhem' sees Imelda continue to develop her uniquely modern fusion of classic musical genres. The record not only showcases her exceptional songwriting ability, but also displays some more disparate influences, with first single Psycho seeing Imelda channel the spirit of early PJ Harvey, whilst the heartbreakingly poignant "Kentish Town Waltz" conjures an image of Chrissie Hynde at her most reflective.
This year Imeldahas performed at Glastonbury, T In The Park, Womad and Ireland's Electric Picnic as well as touring the UK in September. She also has three songs – including the legendary "Johnny Gotta Boom Boom" and forthcoming single "Mayhem" featuring on the soundtrack to the new "Wild Target" film starring Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Everett.

Q: Building gcc 11.2 with jit support requires GMP, MPFR, MPC, ISL recompiled with -fPIC I'm on a CentOS 7 Linux system where I don't have the root access. So I have to build gcc from source. I want to build gcc 11.2 with the jit support. I invoked
contrib/download_prerequisites for GMP, MPFR, MPC and ISL. Then from a build directory I configured gcc using
../gcc-11.2.0/configure --prefix=/some/path --enable-bootstrap --enable-shared \
  --enable-host-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++,jit \
  --disable-multilib

then I hit make.
It failed with ld errors asking me to recompile libisl.a, libmpc.a, libmpfr.a, libgmp.a with -fPIC. Right before these errors I saw lots of jit related outputs. I assume jit is behind all of this?
Then I tried adding CFLAGS=-fPIC to the above configure command as ../gcc-11.2.0/configure CFLAGS=-fPIC *rest_of_the_options_above*. The same ld errors were emitted.
I'm aware that those dependencies each has --with-pic option to their own configure. But I'm wondering if there is a way to have gcc invoke that for me? If not, does it mean that to build gcc with jit support, one has to build the four dependencies manually with --with-pic? Thanks.

Losing to Spezia, AC Milan loses important capital for opponents Juventus and Inter Milan
MDP Live - Unfortunately, that's the right word for AC Milan after losing 1-2 against Spezia in the 22nd week of the Italian League, Tuesday (18/1/2022). How not, the defeat occurred partly because of the interference of the referee, Marco Serra.
Serra annulled Junior Messias' goal which should have brought AC Milan 2-1 ahead. He considered there had been a violation before the goal was created.
As a result, Spezia got a free kick which led to their second goal scored by Emanuel Gyasi. Spezia equalized thanks to Kevin Agudelo's goal (64') after falling behind to a Rafael Leao goal.
This defeat may be a crushing blow for AC Milan. The reason is, AC Milan can displace Inter Milan from the top of the standings if they win in this match.
That's because AC Milan is only two points adrift of Inter Milan. AC Milan is second with 48 points.
"We know this is unfair. We have to blame ourselves. But we share the same responsibility with the coach. I'm sorry to have to say this," complained AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli as reported by Football Italia.

Important Capital Loss
The defeat of Spezia can be considered an important loss of capital for AC Milan. The reason, AC Milan must serve two tough opponents in the next match.
Rossoneri have to serve Juventus, Monday (24/1/2022) and Inter Milan, Sunday (6/2/2022). On paper, the two opponents have the potential to be very difficult for AC Milan.
Pioli admitted his team did not deserve to lose. However, he confirmed that this result will be used as an evaluation material for the next match.
"We didn't deserve to lose today. Our mistake was to let the equaliser happen. That's what we have to fix," he said.
"This match will motivate us for the next match," Pioli added.
