Use our Mortgage Qualification Calculator to determine what size mortgage you qualify for based on your monthly gross income and debt expenses. Many factors affect what size mortgage you can afford including your credit profile, interest rate, loan type and length. We recommend that you evaluate multiple scenarios to understand the mortgage amount, monthly payment and total housing expense you can afford based on your personal and financial profile.
Gross Income. Our calculator uses your monthly gross income, which is your income before any deductions such as taxes or social security, to determine what size mortgage you can afford. The higher your gross income, the larger the mortgage you qualify for.
Monthly Debt Payments. This figure includes payments for credit cards as well as car, student and personal loans but excludes your current housing expense. Please input your monthly debt payment and not your current loan balance. For example if you pay $250 per month on a credit card with a $5,000 balance, you input $250 in your total monthly debt payments field. The higher your monthly debt payments, the lower the mortgage you qualify for.
Mortgage Term. The longer your loan, the lower your monthly payment and higher the mortgage amount you qualify for.
Estimated Mortgage Amount You Qualify For. Understand the mortgage you can afford based on your income, debt and other factors. Even a small change in your inputs can have a significant impact on mortgage qualification.
Mortgage Payment. Determine your monthly loan payment based on the mortgage amount you qualify for, current interest rates and the length of your loan.
Estimated Property Tax and Insurance. In addition to your mortgage payment, it is important to consider other expenses such as property tax and homeowners insurance. These costs vary based on property value and location.
Total Monthly Housing Expense. This figure includes your mortgage payment plus estimated property tax and homeowners insurance. Use our calculator to understand the total monthly housing expense that you are comfortable with based on your financial budget.
Your credit score is one of the most important factors that determines your ability to qualify for a mortgage. Lenders typically require borrowers to have a minimum credit score of 620 although certain mortgage programs permit lower scores. Additionally, the higher your credit score, the lower your mortgage rate and the lower your credit score, the higher your mortgage rate. You can use our mortgage qualification calculator to understand how your mortgage rate impacts what size loan you can afford. Borrowers should check their credit score six-to-twelve months before applying for a mortgage to identify and address any issue in their credit profile.
Your debt-to-income ratio represents the maximum amount of your monthly gross income that you can spend on total monthly housing expense (mortgage payment plus property tax, homeowners insurance and other applicable housing expenses) plus monthly debt payments such as auto, student and credit card loans. Lenders typically apply a maximum borrower debt-to-income ratio of 43% to 50% to determine what size mortgage you qualify for, although some lenders and mortgage programs apply higher or lower ratios. Borrowers seeking to maximize their mortgage amount may want to pay down their monthly debt before applying for a mortgage to improve their debt-to-income ratio. Our mortgage qualification calculator applies a debt-to-income ratio to determine what size mortgage you can afford.
Lenders usually require that borrowers have two years of continuous employment history before you apply for a mortgage, unless you recently graduated from college. Additionally, if you have changed jobs recently and your new job has an initial probation period the lender may wait until the end of the probation period before approving you for a mortgage. Finally, self-employed borrowers are usually required to provide additional documentation and some lenders may not offer mortgages to self-employed borrowers. Please note that lenders have discretion over how they apply the borrowers employment history guideline.
Lenders also require that borrower provide two years of residence history when you apply for a mortgage. Your residence history includes properties that you have lived in that you have both owned and rented. If you have not owned or rented a home prior to applying for a mortgage (for example if you were living with a relative) it can be challenging to qualify for a mortgage. Borrowers should be sure to understand a lenders residence history requirement before applying for a mortgage.
Lenders usually require borrowers to make a down payment of 10% to 20% of the property purchase price to qualify for a mortgage, although there are several mortgage programs that enable you to buy a home with a low or no down payment. Saving money for a down payment is one of the biggest challenges to buying a home even for borrowers with good credit scores and steady jobs. In addition to making a down payment borrowers are also required to pay mortgage closing costs and potentially hold savings in reserve when the mortgage closes so borrowers need to make sure they have enough money to meet the lender's down payment and other qualification requirements.
The loan program you select also impacts how much mortgage you qualify for. For example, the initial monthly payments for an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) or interest only loan are usually lower than for a fixed rate mortgage. The lower payment means that you can afford a higher mortgage amount, although ARMs and interest only loans involve more risk than a fixed rate loan because your payment can potentially increase significantly. Interest rates also vary by loan program and you can use our mortgage qualification calculator to see what size loan you qualify for with different programs.
There is more to mortgage qualification than just the payment you can afford based on your income and debt expenses. Lenders also consider cost items such as property taxes and hazard insurance to assess what size mortgage you can afford. Additionally, if you are buying a condominium or co-op that requires you to pay monthly dues then these fees are considered an additional monthly debt expense by the lender, which reduces the mortgage amount you qualify for. Borrowers should be sure to factor in all potential housing expenses -- including mortgage insurance -- to determine the loan amount they can afford.


1c send word of Space Rangers HD: A War Apart, which is apparently another "remastering" of the sequel to RPS'-favoured space games Space Rangers 2: Rise of the Dominators and Space Rangers 2: Reboot. A War Apart will include a new campaign, "offering a pirate's point of view." The overhaul will redo graphics too, allowing for 1920×1200, which is nice because everyone likes fresh graphics.
No release date yet, but I'd expect it soon.

Q: Let $Y_{n}$ be a bounded sequence with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma_{n}^{2}$, I want to show the follow Let $Y_{n}$ be a bounded sequence of independet random variables with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma_{n}^{2}$ , Suppose $Y_{n} \xrightarrow{a.e}Y$ and $\sigma_{n}^{2} \to0. $ then show that $Y=\mu \quad a.e$

A: Hint  By the triangle inequality, $$\|Y-\mu\|_{L^2} \leq \|Y-Y_n\|_{L^2}+\|Y_n-\mu\|_{L^2} = \|Y-Y_n\|+ \sigma_n^2.$$ Use dominated convergence in order to show that the first term converges to $0$. Then, $$\|Y-\mu\|_{L^2} = 0,$$ i.e. $Y=\mu$ a.e.
Remark A close inspection reveals that we do not need the independence of the random variables. Actually, it suffices to assume that either

*

*$(Y_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of independent bounded random variables with mean $\mu$ converging in probability to some random variable $Y$.

or

*

*$(Y_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of bounded random variables with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma_n^2$ such that $\sigma_n^2 \to 0$ and $Y_n \to Y$ a.e.

In both cases, we have $Y=\mu$ a.e.

Home Opinion Need for official opinion polls on current issues
Need for official opinion polls on current issues
India being a participative democracy, right to protest is guaranteed, subject to reasonable restrictions
Ganesan Subramanian
At the outset, let me clarify that this article is NOT about the right or wrong of the 3 farm laws, nor about whether agitations are good or bad.
The opposition will almost always join any agitations
The nation and the states are often in agitation mode. The on-going farmers' agitation against the 3 Central latest farm laws, the recent Shaheen Bagh protest against CAA, and the many protests in states like the agitation in Tamil Nadu by PMK (Pattali Makkal Katchi) demanding reservation for one caste within OBC reservation are examples.
The job of governments is continuous improvement, which involves enacting new laws and scrapping old laws. Any such action is likely to be welcomed by some and disliked by some others. A large majority may not have any views either because they don't care either way or because they don't understand much. By default, the opposition will almost always join any agitations, regardless of who is in government and who is in opposition.
The views of the silent majority go unknown and unrepresented during the negotiations with the governments.
Those who oppose new laws would protest, and usually, all the others would keep quiet. Media bring such protests to center stage. India being a participative democracy, the right to protest is guaranteed, subject to reasonable restrictions.
This is part of the democratic process. Nothing wrong per se, it appears. But there are some major problems in this process.
Since governments won't like to be seen as being tough with their own people, even when the protestors don't abide by reasonable restrictions, they allow a lot of leeway to such protestors, pleading and negotiating with them. Very often, the governments will be forced to climb down from reforms, completely or substantially, even if such climb-downs were not in the interest of the nation.
The views of the silent majority go unknown and unrepresented during the negotiations with the governments. I'm not saying this only with the farmers' agitation in mind but in general.
For example, assuming (but not conceding) a large majority of farmers across India are in favour of the 3 new laws, there is no opportunity for their voice to be heard in either the agitations or the negotiations.
The surveys will be preceded by more reasoned and well-contested debates from both sides. Protests and agitations may not be needed.
In such a situation, if only there were a way to know the pulse of the farmers across India, state-wise, land-holding-wise, crop-wise, etc, the government would be in a better position to negotiate with the agitators. Opposition parties won't dare oppose laws for the sake of opposing the government, since they won't like to go against the will of the majority of farmers. The government would include the silent majority of farmers in the negotiations. The people at large would stand by the government if the agitators cross their reasonable restrictions. Reforms would succeed against agitators.
On the other hand, if a large majority of the farmers across India are opposed to the 3 farm laws, sensing their pulse, the government would retract them.
The entire farmer community, the government, the general public, the media, and even foreign governments and the UN are framing their views, and some are taking strong positions, in the absence of the feel for the viewpoints of the farmers across India.
Some nations like China being non-democracies are able to take decisions and move forward without being dragged down by the pulls and pressures of democracy. I'm not advocating against democracy, but I'm just saying that we should be conscious of the fact that non-democracies enjoy a distinct advantage and as a democracy, we are already at a disadvantage, and we should not make it even more difficult to do reforms in India, whoever may be in power.
The world is becoming an extremely competitive place. With China's aggression, and with the apathy of the world to the imbalance in the world order, the consequences of not measuring up to the global challenges would be devastating. So, today the need for quick and intense reforms across all sectors of the economy is much more imperative than ever before. We can't afford agitations against every reform.
But at the same time, there is a need for maintaining balance in the reforms. Ill-conceived reforms would be damaging too.
The best guard against mistakes in reforms is evolving into an informed and enlightened society.
If NSS – National Sample Survey (or any neutral government-funded but independent body) were to extend its scope and conduct monthly opinion polls (based on reasonable sample sizes) on various topics of current interest, like CAA, farm reforms, reservation within the reservation, etc, and publish the results, it will help the decision-makers make informed decisions, and the general public understands the mood of the nation. The surveys will be preceded by more reasoned and well-contested debates from both sides. Protests and agitations may not be needed.
In the case of farmers' agitation, NSS could survey farmers and publish how well they understand the issues involved at a macro level, whether they support the farm laws or the agitation, and publish the views, based on nationwide, state-wise, farm-holding-wise (no of acres), gross income-wise segmentation. It will educate the agitating and silent farmers, the government, the media, and the general public.
Where the mood of the affected people and the general public are against the government, it will help the government make course corrections in an informed way. Where the mood of the affected people and the general public are against the agitation, it will help the government boldly go ahead with the reforms, and help contain the agitations based on popular support.
This will help strengthen democracy and the national economy.

Venkat December 12, 2020 At 7:53 PM
Enough data on MSP and other farm benefits have been provided by panelist's in TV. Modi's intentions are honourable and in case the farm laws are hurting farmers, laws can be amended in future. Farmers are getting subsidy from buying tractors, fertilisers,drip irrigation power, seed supply, zero income tax etc. what else they want ? Worst sufferers in India are people in age group 60 to 80 years who are supposed to provide wisdom and direction to inexperienced younger generation. They are gold and treated humanely in west and as scrap in India. Indians doesn't deserve democracy, where almost every law is misused, misinterpreted and opinion of wise hardly matter in India.

For some cause, your kid might resolve to not inform you of a wound massive enough to cause infection or something like that.
Try a few of them and share what works best for you.
You may additionally need to mention some other symptoms you seen such as inability to walk properly, lack of appetite and general weakness to help in the diagnosis.
Take helps of the blanket or pillow to keep your infected areas elevated within the snug place.
But when cellulitis from a spider bite develops, medical consideration is important. Spiders produce robust bites which break the skin.
After all, a name to the physician might be prevented by taking some precautionary measures to avoid getting nasal cellulitis altogether.
Swollen as well as dry and flaky skin can form an entry level for bacteria.
Studies have shown that culture of the skin just isn't helpful.
Cellulitis symptoms brought on by proliferation of those bacteria usually include skin redness, pain, tenderness and the formation of painful blisters, along with signs of a fever in some cases.
I used to be bitten on my first finger - R hand! I now know that was not a smart transfer!
There could be some areas of fluid under the skin, and the veterinarian may ultrasound the leg, to find the best spot to take the sample.

With a view to "plot and plan" for the lead as much as the "end of days" there are particular mathematical equations which the Almighty has laid out to ensure that us to "understand" His functions.
Some research have urged a seasonality in sure instances of recurring cellulitis. "Recurrence of cellulitis is quite common.
In these situations the treatment must be even more aggressive. Lymphangitis has also been associated with certain bacterial infections.

AMAG's research strategy aims to enhance competitiveness through developing customer-specific solutions to problems, as well as dedicated special products, thereby making important contributions to its growth strategy.
A high level of specialisation, state-of-the-art production technologies and farreaching digitalisation play an important role in this context. R&D activities also include optimisation of material properties and efficient materials deployment. AMAG focusses here on collaborating with key customers from technologically challenging sectors with high Innovation potential (e.g. automotive, aviation).
Responsibility for the coordination of research, development and technology of the individual companies lies with the Corporate Technology department, whose management reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer. The department is responsible for the development and implementation of the R&D strategy, cooperation with (non-)university research institutes, the new and further development of products and processes, application-oriented materials development and the IP strategy for the screening, safeguarding and exploitation of intellectual property. The operating companies also have their own technology areas. The focus in the casthouse is on recycling, metallurgy, metal analysis and casting technologies. In the rolling mill, focus areas include sector-specific materials and product development, process optimisation and materials inspection.
This accredited testing centre with departments consisting of metallography/physics, surface technology, chemical analysis, environmental measurement, and materials inspection, delivers not only the test results, but also the data necessary for assessing R&D test results.
Research partnerships range from basic research and conventional contract research to specific product development. AMAG supports bachelor, master and dissertation projects, is a partner in the Christian Doppler Laboratory and participates in several COMET expertise centres (Materials Center Leoben, Pro2Future, AC²T). Last but not least, an endowed professorship at the University of Leoben is being financed and work is being done in several working groups throughout Europe in the materials development area. Such measures serve to develop both expertise and personnel. Further partnerships exist with the University of Leoben, the technical universities of Vienna and Graz, ETH Zurich, Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Johannes Kepler University Linz, LKR Leichtmetallkompetenzzentrum, the FELMI-ZFE Institute for Electron Microscopy and Nanoanalytics – Austrian Centre for Electron Microscopy, Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg, the COMET centres Pro²Future and Materials Center Leoben, and the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research in Düsseldorf.
Central measures in the innovation area are:
Partnerships with institutes in multi-year projects and expansion of the scientific network
Continuous development of dissertation candidates to foster long-term relationships
Developing special products and efficient production processes
Tapping new applications for AMAG products
Driving digitalisation forward (automation, simulation, data exchange, statistical analyses within the framework of Big Data, tracking)
Qualification of new plants and processes
Certification according to further international standards
Extending the value chain (e.g. mechanical processing)
Science and technology advisory board: Implementation of recommendations
The activities in the digitalisation area were further intensified in order to strengthen customer, supplier and employee relationships through the "digital partner experience".
The strategic thrust in the digitalisation area has been summarised in a Digitalisation Compass. It comprises the three goals of "operational excellence", "product leadership" and "proximity to part- ners" with eight defined action areas. With sustainability functioning as the overall guiding concept, all digitalisation activities must deliver economic, ecological and social benefits.
In particular, the expansion of the data infrastructure ("predictive management" action area) with the help of Big Data solutions contributes to the efficient storage, preparation and processing of large volumes of data in the production area. This allows process limits to be better set and negative influ- ences to be counteracted in a targeted manner, leading to more stable processes and lower product tolerance fluctuations. Further Information: AluReport 03/2019
AMAG digitalisation compass
In the 2019 financial year, the AMAG Group's research and development expenditures amounted to EUR 15.5 million, of which EUR 15.2 million was spent in Ranshofen (2018: EUR 15.1 million). In 2019, a total of 155 employees (as of the December 31 reporting date/individuals) were engaged in R&D and innovation activities. This corresponds to an increase of 10 % compared to the previous year (2018: 141 employees).
Customer relationship & consistent customer orientation
Customer expectations are crucial to AMAG's product development, service and quality assurance.

What is a self-help support group?
Mutual self-help is the process of help yourself through helping others. Being a member of a group facilitates this process and provides a sense of belonging and acceptance. Participation is empowering and enhances self-esteem and coping ability. Information sharing and self-education are key elements.
Most of the time our meetings simply involve introducing ourselves, saying what we are comfortable in saying about our loss, and sharing our thoughts and feelings on grieving. Facilitators may share copies of materials for possible discussion. Our meetings are open-ended meaning that you can join anytime.
All of our groups are peer-led, which means the facilitator is a suicide griever. They act as enablers rather than chairpersons. They try to assure that each meeting is meaningful and effective for all in attendance.
Is there a charge involved?
There is never a charge of any kind involved with attending an SOS support group. See Helping SOS for ways you can help us continue and expand our efforts.
What if there is no group in my area?
You are certainly welcome to travel to the nearest group. If this is not practical you may try these alternatives. If you are the parent, grandparent, or sibling of a suicide victim you might consider The Compassionate Friends (see links). Hospitals and hospices sometimes host grief support groups. Some grief counselors also hold support groups.
Can I go to more than one SOS group?
Some suicide grievers have found this to be helpful, and this has been done from time to time. There is no SOS policy discouraging this practice. When there is more than one group in close proximity, some have tried out each group before joining one.
Who may come to an SOS group meeting?
Attendance at an SOS group meeting is limited only to those who have experienced a suicide loss. SOS groups are intended to provide support to individuals bereaved by suicide and to be a "safe place" where feelings, thoughts, and concerns can be shared with other survivors. SOS appreciates interest from students, media, etc., in our groups and will gladly respond to requests for information.
What if I want to start a group?
Most groups are started by individuals seeking to fill a need in their community. While there is no firm rule, most group leaders have found the role easier to handle after they have had some time to come to terms with their own loss and grief. The best way to start is to attend a group to see whats involved. Please contact us at phillysos@gmail.com if you are interested in starting a support group.

Limpopo Province: National Commemoration Day
web desk September 6, 2020 September 8, 2020
POLOKWANE – The SAPS National Commemoration is the day set aside to pay homage to members who sacrificed their lives in the execution of their duties.
As the event was held virtually from the Union Building in Pretoria, Gauteng Province, The Limpopo Transport and Community Safety MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya and Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service in Limpopo Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba accompanied by the Deputy Provincial Commissioner responsible for Corporate Services Major General Christine Morakaladi, the Provincial Management, the Saps Sekhukhune and Vhembe District Management today, warmly welcomed the two families of the members of the South Africa Police Services who tragically died in line of duty.
The two events were streamed live from the SAPS Provincial Joint Operational Center in the City of Polokwane and from Sibasa outside Thohoyandou.
Our two fallen heroes, Warrant Officer T.I Modau attached to Thohoyandou Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit and Constable M.M Mathabatha attached to the Tubatse Police Station Crime Prevention Unit, will forever be remembered for their bravery and commitment in fighting crime.
Warrant officer Modau was brutally hacked to death by a rape suspect in March this year. Meanwhile, Constable Mathabatha was fatally wounded while attending a car hijacking incident.
The MEC and Provincial Commissioner while comforting the families of the two members, vowed that the SAPS will always be with them and will ensure that these heartless criminals who robbed them their loved ones, the Organisation and the Community at large, face the full might of the law.

In religion, a prophet is an individual who is regarded as being in contact with a divine being and is said to speak on behalf of that being, serving as an intermediary with humanity by delivering messages or teachings from the supernatural source to other people.
Prophets are considered to be chosen by God for the specific task of teaching the faith of Islam. Some were called to prophesy late in life, such as Muhammad at the age of 40. Some were called to prophesy at a young age, such as John the Baptist.
The cultic prophet's function is to secure weal for Israel; the canonical prophet's function is to proclaim Yahweh's message to Israel, whether it be one of weal or woe. Alternative suggestions for a prophetic office are unconvincing.
The prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah were among those sent by God to deliver His message to His people (Isa. … God is the initiator of mission to people of other faiths, the founder of the nation of Israel, the founder of the New Testament (NT) church and the sustainer of mission throughout human history.
IT IS INTERESTING: How does the Bible say to love your enemies?
1 : one who utters divinely inspired revelations: such as. a often capitalized : the writer of one of the prophetic books of the Bible. b capitalized : one regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God's will Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah.
A prophet is a messenger. For Muslims, he is a person through whom Allah speaks. … Whenever a Muslim mentions the name of Muhammad, they say "Peace be upon him." For Muslims, the prophets provide an important link between Allah and humankind.
Who were the prophets, and why were they important to the Israelites? The Israelite prophets were extremely learned and pious individuals, both men and women, whose superlative level of piety merited them with visions from God. They had to be humble, yet speak with authority.
What is a prophet and what purpose did they serve for the Israelites? … Who were the prophets and what were their roles? They were individuals called by God to speak on his behalf. They reminded people that God would hold them accountable for their Idolatrous and unjust ways.
The five books of The Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel) cover a significant time span and present a wide array of messages. Isaiah spoke to the nation of Judah about 150 years before their exile into Babylonia and called them to be faithful to God.
IT IS INTERESTING: What is the Bible verse Matthew 4 20?
His internal strength and patience, gave his followers strength and patience until Allah gave them some ease. Compassion and love was in abundance in the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who sought to reflect the compassion of the divine.
A prophet teaches truth and interprets the word of God. He calls the unrighteous to repentance. He receives revelations and directions from the Lord for our benefit. He may see into the future and foretell coming events so that the world may be warned.

Midrash and Theory
Ancient Jewish Exegesis and Contempory Literary Studies
Rethinking Theory
by David Stern
In Midrash and Theory, David Stern presents an approach to midrashic literature through the prism of contemporary theory.
As midrash--the literature of classical Jewish Scriptural interpretation--has become the focus of new interest in contemporary literary circles, it has been invoked as a precursor of post-structuralist theory and criticism. At the same time, the midrashic imagination has undergone a revival in the larger Jewish community and shown itself capable of exercising a powerful influence and hold on a new type of contemporary Jewish writing. Stern examines this resurgence of fascination with ancient Jewish interpretation from the persepctive of the cultural relevance of midrash and its connection to its original historical and literary contexts.
David Stern is professor of postbiblical and medieval Hebrew literature at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author or editor of several books, including Parables in Midrash and Rabbinic Fantasies, and has written extensively on both classical and modern Jewish literature and on their relations to contemporary literary theory.

IP vs Port vs Socket vs Connection vs HTTP et al.
Generally speaking, and only to visualize the differences in hierarchy: There's an internet protocol (IP) allowing computers to identify each other. Here's an IP address: 255.255.255.255 nominally identifying a computer. Here's a port: 65535 Here's a socket (also called a network socket): 255.255.255.255:65535 Here's a connection: 255.255.255.255:65535 connected to 0.0.0.0:1 using TCP. You would then send information over TCP, let's say using HTTP for a web page. Or using SMTP or IMAP for email. Or using RDP or SSH to remotely control a computer.

Eremolepidaceae is een botanische naam, voor een familie van tweezaadlobbige planten. Een familie onder deze naam wordt zo af en toe erkend door systemen voor plantentaxonomie, maar niet door het APG-systeem (1998) en het APG II-systeem (2003): deze delen de betreffende planten in bij de familie Santalaceae.

De familie wordt wel erkend door het Cronquist systeem (1981), die de familie indeelt in de orde Santalales. Het gaat dan om een kleine familie, die voorkomt in de neotropen.

A.V.A. Ballet Theatre peforms 'Cinderella' this month
Steve Trounday
The third weekend of September, A.V.A. Ballet Theatre and the Reno Phil will be presenting their new production of "Cinderella" at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. This classic fairy tale is filled with mesmerizing dance, romance and comedy, and is fun for the entire family.
The Cinderella ballet was composed by Sergei Prokofiev in the 1940s and it's considered one of his most popular works. The original choreography for the ballet was created in 1948 by Frederick Ashton, a British dancer and choreographer. Alexander Van Alstyne, A.V.A. Ballet Theatre's artistic director, has restaged and rechoreographed the ballet, incorporating his variations on Ashton's ballet.
"The story is the same," Van Alstyne said. "The dancing is different."

"Cinderella" is the captivating story of the hopes of a lowly daughter, dressed in rags, who is forced to act as a servant in her own home. Her stepsisters are mean and self-centered. Cinderella helps her stepsisters prepare for the Spring Ball, where it is rumored that the prince will be selecting a bride. As they prepare for the gala, a beggar woman turns up, asking for shelter. The sisters try to chase her off, but Cinderella offers her a place by the kitchen fireplace and an old pair of slippers. The beggar thanks her for her kindness and departs. After the stepsisters choose their dresses and conduct awkward dancing lessons, they set off for the ball, leaving Cinderella behind.
Cinderella is lonely but dances with a broom, imagining it is the prince. She's surprised when the beggar woman is at the door, wishing to return the slippers and again thanking her for her generosity. To Cinderella's amazement, the shoes have been transformed into glass slippers. The beggar woman takes off her disguise and reveals herself as Cinderella's fairy godmother and will be granting her wish of going to the ball. The fairy godmother summons the fairies of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter to help her transform Cinderella's rags into a beautiful dress, a pumpkin and mice into a carriage and horses, and frogs and lizards into footmen.
Before she leaves, the fairy godmother warns her that the magic will only last until midnight, at which time the spell will break and everything will return to its original form. Only the glass slippers will remain as a gift for her thoughtfulness.
At the Spring Ball, the two stepsisters attempt to impress the royal court by showing off their dancing skills, poor as they are. The prince is bored with the affair and refuses to dance with the obnoxious stepsisters. Cinderella arrives at the gala and the prince is entranced by her beauty and charm, and he asks for a dance. They dance the night away in blissful blossoming love.
Overtaken by happiness, Cinderella has completely forgotten about the time. At the first stroke of midnight, she remembers her fairy godmother's warning. Panicking, she flees from the ballroom. The prince chases after her but she vanishes moments before the spell breaks, losing one of her glass slippers in her haste to escape. The prince is heartbroken but upon finding the lost slipper, he vows not to rest until he can find her.
The prince is frantic to find his new love. He travels the world looking for the mysterious woman from the gala. The prince begins to search his own kingdom, trying the slipper on every maiden who attended the ball. The stepsisters hear that the prince will be coming to their home and are very excited. Upon his arrival, he tries the slipper on the two women, but they don't fit. The stepsisters order Cinderella to help them try to squeeze the slipper on their feet. As she assists them, the other slipper falls from her pocket. The prince recognizes Cinderella for who she is and successfully tries on both glass slippers. Delighted they have found each other, Cinderella and the prince are transported to a secret garden by the fairy godmother, where they confess their love for one another, and of course, live happily ever after.
The part of Cinderella is being performed by A.V.A. Ballet Theatre veteran Kathleen Martin. This is the sixth year Martin has danced with the company, and she has a wide following. In Reno she has danced as Belle in "Beauty and the Beast," Odette/Odile in "Swan Lake," Swanhilda in "Coppelia," and as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Snow Queen in "The Nutcracker."
Martin is originally from Grayslake, Illinois and began her professional career with Ballet West's second company. While with Ballet West, she originated the principal role of "The Little Mermaid" and starred in the BBC Worldwide production of "Breaking Pointe," a documentary-drama featuring the lives of modern-day dancers. Martin furthered her career with Ballet Idaho and advanced to soloist dancer with Ballet San Antonio. Martin continues to teach and perform throughout the country.
The role of the prince is being danced by Ryan Jolicoeur-Nye. Jolioeur-Nye danced for the Kansas City Ballet, is their second company manager, and is the artistic director for the NWA Ballet Theatre. This is his first time on the stage at the Pioneer Center. Jolicoeur-Nye was born in Maine and began his training with Andrei Bossov. Upon graduating from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, Jolicoer-Nye danced for Festival Ballet Providence, Eugene Ballet Company and Ballet Idaho. It was at Ballet Idaho that he first danced with Kathleen Martin.
Joining Martin and Jolicoeur-Nye on stage for "Cinderella" will be the large cast of dancers from A.V.A. Ballet Theatre. These dancers are the best in Reno and come from dance studios throughout the region.
The Reno Phil will be performing the score to this beautiful ballet with Dr. Jason Altieri as the conductor. The Prokofiev music alone is worth the ticket price. I've said this many times over the years: Once you've seen and heard a ballet performance with a live orchestra, there is really no comparison to one with a recording. There is something special when you see and hear two performing arts groups working together to entertain an audience.
Steve Trounday is a board member at A.V.A. Ballet Theatre, the resident ballet company of the Pioneer Center. A.V.A. Ballet Theatre will be performing "Cinderella" Sept. 22 and 23 at the Pioneer Center with the Reno Phil.

Czech President Defends Right To Host Uzbekistan's Karimov
February 11, 2014 15:07 GMT Updated February 12, 2014 14:24 GMT
By Daisy Sindelar
Czech President Milos Zeman (left) has rejected criticism of his invitation to host Uzbek President Islam Karimov at Prague Castle.
The president of the Czech Republic, Milos Zeman, has come out swinging in a heated battle over an official visit next week by the autocratic leader of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov.
Zeman took less than a day to issue a blunt response to an open letter signed by 31 rights organizations calling on him to reconsider the invitation, citing Karimov's well-documented use of torture and forced labor in its cotton trade.
The presidential rejoinder, published on February 11 at the same time as the activists' open letter, accuses the rights community of misinformation and "hypocrisy" in calling for the visit to be canceled.
Andrew Stroehlein of Human Rights Watch, one of the signatories to the open letter, says he's surprised by both the speed and rancor of Zeman's response.
"It was very fast, so we have to give him credit for that, but the content was extremely disappointing," Stroehlein says. "His reply to us demonstrates a really strange lack of awareness of the entire situation and everything that's been going on around Uzbekistan in the international community for years."
Post-Andijon Isolation
Officials close to the Czech president have defended the February 20-22 visit as routine reciprocity for a visit by Zeman's predecessor, Vaclav Klaus, to Uzbekistan in 2004.
But activists have dismissed that argument, noting that Klaus's visit came a year before the 2005 massacre by security forces of hundreds of Uzbek civilians in Andijon. That earned Karimov pariah status in the West, with the European Union imposing a sanctions regime and reducing hospitality to a bare minimum.
Karimov has traveled to the EU only twice since Andijon -- to Latvia in 2013 for talks on the military withdrawal from Afghanistan, in which Uzbekistan is playing a logistical role, and to Brussels in 2011, where only European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen agreed to meet with him.

Hynek Kmonicek, Zeman's foreign-policy adviser, says the Czech president has been briefed on Uzbekistan's human rights record and may use the visit to raise concerns. He dismisses concerns that Zeman has crossed a moral line in agreeing to uphold the 10-year-old obligation.
"President Karimov is the president of Uzbekistan. Presidents speak to presidents. Simply, we must be able to speak to the people [even when] we would be of absolutely different approach [on certain issues]," Kmonicek says. "But how can you solve the question if you don't speak to the person? If you don't ask, you cannot get answers."
Economic Interests Paramount
The European rights community has shuddered at the notion of Karimov being welcomed into an EU country and the homeland of Vaclav Havel, one of the Cold War's leading crusaders against communist oppression.
Standing invitations for Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov have come under similar scrutiny.
Uzbek activists living in Europe are equally distressed by the impending visit. Mutabar Tadjibaeva, a rights worker who endured years of abuse in the Uzbek prison system before seeking asylum in France, says dozens of Uzbeks are planning to travel to Prague to protest the Czechs' hosting of Karimov.
"After the Andijon events, when the European Union demanded sanctions, the Czech Republic was among the countries to sign the agreement. And the Czech Republic knows perfectly well that Uzbekistan didn't fulfill a single demand laid out in the sanctions," Tadjibaeva says. "The fact that they're now looking at [Uzbekistan] as a partner is very surprising."
Officially, Zeman and Karimov are scheduled to discuss a number of procedural issues, including airline and visa agreements to accommodate a growing number of Uzbek students in the Czech Republic. But business negotiations are expected to dominate talks, with Zeman likely looking to strengthen ties with energy-rich Uzbekistan.
Current trade volume between the two countries is relatively modest, with Tashkent importing $57 million in Czech tires, medicine, and machinery in 2011 and exporting $10 million in its controversial cotton textiles to Prague. Czech business newspapers suggest Zeman will be looking to seal a $5 million to $10 million deal during Karimov's trip.

Zeman, who has openly courted eastern partners since his election last year, has prompted some critics to refer to the Czech Republic's "new diplomacy," where economic interests take precedence over human rights concerns.
But Jaroslav Plesl, a political journalist in Prague, says Zeman's controversial guest list isn't likely to upset those Czechs who support his efforts to gain an economic foothold in the post-Soviet neighborhood. "It is not a secret that Zeman has focused his policy towards the East, and he will go on with that as long as he's in office. Zeman was very open about his future policies, especially foreign policy, in the campaign," he says.
"He was openly saying we need to pay more attention to Eastern European countries and towards Russia and new markets in the East. And he got elected."
And former Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg told RFE/RL's Uzbek Service that while Prague had "quite considerable interests" in the region, nothing prevented Czech authorities from discussing human rights issues with Karimov when he comes to Prague.

In a departure from its traditional product-oriented advertising, Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today announced a new integrated print and online campaign that speaks to the Gen Y target consumer in his own language. Full of attitude and edgy documentary-style videos, the campaign appeals to the 16-24 year old male "Tuner" with a passion for cars and entertainment.
The campaign, called "Disturb" was developed by Omnicom's BBDO West and is a fully "interlocked" campaign comprised of print, online and television elements. It breaks in waves, with print ads released sequentially beginning in April. Each print ad includes a one word headline, "Disturb", "Defy," "Disrupt" and "Ignite," that corresponds to a URL, starting with pioneer-disturb.com in the beginning of the campaign, where readers will be transported into a different Web site world. Because the campaign is episodic, each site is distinguishable containing fresh new content.
The target demographic for the new mobile entertainment advertising campaign is defined by Pioneer as "Tuners," young males who double the value of a $10,000 car with investments in upgraded parts and electronics. Tuners are out to create the definitive ride, personalizing their vehicles to create works of art that make a statement.
The $3 million campaign is highly targeted to reach the core demographic. Its use of television-quality ads that air primarily on the Internet is part of a strategy developed to stretch the budget as well as to avoid the appearance of over-marketing to a demographic that does not respond well to traditional marketing tactics.
"This Tuner generation has created a lifestyle around their love of chrome and nitrous that results in a $26 billion market annually. But the audience does not respond well to companies that use a hard sell approach. An effective marketing campaign must speak their language and offer valuable information. A little humor doesn't hurt either," said Michael Townsen, vice president of marketing for the Mobile Entertainment Division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc.
The campaign will reach its target through mobile entertainment enthusiast publications (Super Street, Euro Tuner), urban music publications (Vibe, The Source, XXL) and men's magazines (FHM, Maxim), all driving consumers to the Internet. Recent syndicated research shows that a significant percent of the target market use the Internet at least five times a week. The robust nature of the Web sites in the campaign will increase the length of time each user spends with Pioneer during each visit.
"We were able to stretch the advertising dollar through the use of an online "hush campaign," said Tom Hollerbach, president and chief executive officer of BBDO West. "The Web sites provide a tremendous amount of valuable information and entertainment to the target audience, creating a viral effect, further enhancing the campaign value. Pioneer's $3 million could easily be stretched exponentially because of the strategy."
The campaign also includes a Car Customization Guide that enables users to literally build their own dream system online, selecting a vehicle, colors, wheels, audio/video system and more. The Car Customization Guide will be available at www.umodify.com or on a CD-ROM that will be distributed to approximately 500,000 users through Primedia Publishing and at various events beginning with Primedia's Spring Break Bash in Daytona Beach. The guide enables users to select one of the five most popular cars in the Tuner demographic and customize it with wheels, tires, suspension, colors and audio/video products. The guide will link back to the "Disturb" Web sites and to pioneerelectronics.com.
"We've seen online programs that allow women to see what they would look like with a different hair style or color. Homeowners can see what their house would look like with a different color of paint. Now for the first time, Tuners can see how a new set of Pioneer subwoofers or car stereo would look in their Honda Civic," said Townsen.
Pioneer's Mobile Entertainment Division is the leading manufacturer of audio, video and information products for in-car use. Its focus is on the development of new digital technologies including visual/audio, navigation, and satellite radio, while maintaining its strong heritage in products for car audio enthusiasts and competitors. The company markets its products under the Pioneer and Premier brand names. When purchased from an authorized dealer, consumers receive a limited warranty for one year with Pioneer products and two years for Premier electronic products.

This is one of the most fascinating nature trips in the world. Our overland route crosses an extraordinary range of life zones from highlands to lowlands, taking us through an array of ecosystems found nowhere else on the planet in such close proximity.
We see high altitude farming valleys and traverse stark highland puna, plunge through layers of grassland, elfin forest, layers of lush, ever-changing cloud forest, and then lowland tropical valleys where farmers cultivate coca and exotic fruits. All the way, we traverse the habitat of innumerable bird species.
Then our journey winds its way by river through lowland rainforest, taking us to a remote jungle village, then to a tented camp in the heart of Manu, the Upper Amazon basin's greatest national park, In Manu we navigate the waters of an isolated oxbow lake, home to giant otters, caimans, monkeys and an endless variety of birds.
