Fiscal Balance in Chile
Chile - Fiscal Balance
Chile proposes tight budget for 2017
The Chilean government presented the most austere budget proposal in over a decade on 30 September. This is designed to protect fiscal sustainability in a context of subdued state revenues as the country suffers from a third year of weak economic growth and depressed prices for copper, its top export. Low public spending threatens to further hamper growth and to undermine President Michelle Bachelet's popularity—which in August fell to a new historic low—ahead of next year's elections.
The 2017 draft budget envisages public spending growth of just 2.7%, which would represent the lowest increase in 14 years and compares to an estimated 4.2% increase this year and a 9.8% rise in 2015. According to Finance Minister Rodrigo Valdés, the fiscal deficit will widen from an estimated 3.1% of GDP this year to 3.3% of GDP in 2017. In accordance with Chile's fiscal rule, which historically helped to preserve Chile's reputation for fiscal prudence, the structural deficit will decline by 0.25 percentage points and reach about 1.5% of GDP in 2017. The key underlying assumptions for these budget projections are trend GDP growth of 3.0% and an average copper price of USD 2.56 per pound. The fact that Chile's fiscal deficit will remain relatively high implies a continued rise in public debt, which, although still low, has more than doubled in the past six years, reaching an equivalent of 17.5% of GDP in 2015. Next year, the Finance Ministry projects that public debt will exceed 20% of GDP, a level last seen in 1994.
The government's planned spending is focused on some of the centerpieces of its reform agenda. Spending on healthcare and education are envisaged to increase the most, by 6.2% and 4.8%, respectively. Key initiatives include increasing the access to free higher education for students from low socio-economic backgrounds and improving primary healthcare. Other spending hikes aim to improve security and to provide for a 10% rise in the basic solidary pension. By contrast, public investment will be scaled back slightly from an estimated 4.2% of GDP this year to 4.0% of GDP in 2017.
FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists are still factoring in the latest developments and project that Chile's fiscal deficit will be 3.0% of GDP this year. For 2017, our forecasters expect the deficit to narrow slightly to 2.8% of GDP.

Morocco (2015)- Arabic, French, Hebrew with English Subtitles
A Film by Jérôme Cohen Olivar
In 1974, the celebrated musician Marcel Botbol suddenly left his native land of Morocco under mysterious circumstances. His disappearance led to the breakup of his beloved band, The Midnight Orchestra. Thirty years later, Marcel's son Michael is summoned to Casablanca by his father to arrange a reunion of sorts. The journey uncovers the special bridge that music has in the Sephardic world to join Jews and Moslems in harmony.
The film is replete with hilarious scenes and poignant moments set against an unforgettable message of tolerance and coexistence that once was.


CPR Classes are offered throughout San Diego. Most CPR classes will need you to take both a didactic part and a hands-on portion to be certain that you've got the right amount of wisdom and skill to carry out effectively. You may take an online CPR class too, but you'll not receive the training and experience that you will need to understand how to perform CPR effectively. You may be able to acquire a free CPR class through your regional fire department, otherwise, you will want to cover your CPR certification class.
Basically what you have to calculate into your certification is how you are going to have to pay over the two-year life of your certification for a minimum of 20 hours of further instruction or recertification classes. The CPR Certification is made for men and women who aren't in the health care field. You can select to take each one of these online CPR certification and training courses simultaneously, and obtain your certification or renewal in only a couple of hours after finishing your training.
The course covers all the identical material as the conventional classroom based ACLS class. The course thoroughly covers various practices that are ideal for use on adults, kids and infants. The fundamental life support course is well suited for professionals who want BLS Certification as a portion of their job.
CPR should be carried out immediately. CPR is a fundamental skill which our school officials really ought to emphasize. For those who only need to learn CPR and don't require a certification card we provide inexpensive and a few times at no charge community friends and household courses. 1 way they do so is by training people how to utilize CPR to conserve the life span of a person under cardiac arrest. The CPR and AED skills acquired in an internet BLS Certification course teach efficient and efficient response in a health emergency.
The course covers all the very same material as the conventional classroom based PALS class. The internet course provides the chance to refresh skills and recertify without needing to take the complete content course in a conventional classroom. These courses are available in an onsite format or within a blended format including online and onsite. The conventional BLS Certification course is for those people who aren't medical professionals but who frequently work with the public or within a public atmosphere.
If you wish to have a class since you get a general interest in CPR and would love to be ready to help your community if necessary, you can locate a lay responder CPR class with the American Red Cross easily. The American Red Cross schedules these forms of classes on a normal basis at a number of distinct times, days and locations to ensure it is easy for anybody to attend. If you are thinking about how to get a CPR class in Dallas Texas, you've come to the proper location.
What to Expect From Free Cpr Classes near Me?
If you arrive to class without the necessary manual, you will want to purchase one before class begins in order to take part in the class. You can't get this with an internet class. The clearest one is to produce particular classes for students with learning disabilities.

Volvo to replace carkeys with smartphone app from 2017
By Natalie Middleton / 5 years ago / Latest News / 1 Comment
Volvo is to offer cars without keys from 2017 with the help of a smartphone app.
The initiative will be piloted this spring via Volvo's car-sharing firm Sunfleet at Gothenburg airport, Sweden and a limited number of commercially available cars will be equipped with the new digital key technology in 2017. Physical keys will continue to be offered for people who want them.
The new Volvo app operates via Bluetooth and enables the digital key on the customer's mobile phone to do everything a physical key currently does, such as locking or unlocking the doors or the boot and allowing the engine to be started.
The technology will also offer customers the possibility to receive more than one digital key on their app, allowing them to access different Volvo cars in different locations to help provide flexibility for personal and corporate mobility needs.
Using the app, people could book and pay for a rental car anywhere in the world and have the digital car key delivered to their phone immediately.
Henrik Green, vice president of product strategy & vehicle line management at Volvo Cars, said: "Our innovative digital key technology has the potential to completely change how a Volvo can be accessed and shared. Instead of sitting idle in a parking lot the entire day, cars could be used more often and efficiently by whoever the owner wishes."
"There are obviously many permutations when it comes to how this shared key technology can be used," added Martin Rosenqvist, new car director, special products at Volvo Cars. "We look forward to seeing how else this technology might be used in the future and we welcome any and all ideas."

The rest of the show's talent judges, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Mel B., will be overseeing the proceedings, which will also include performances from The Clairvoyants, Brian Justin Crum and the Olate Dogs, and daredevil Professor Splash, who will perform a seasonally appropriate jump into a pool of eggnog. C'mon, no one wants to miss that. WATCH IT: 8 p.m. Monday on NBC.
"The iHeart Radio Jingle Ball"
iHeartRadio's annual holiday extravaganza brings together a long list of pop royalty in New York City every year, and this year it took the show on the road to visit a plethora of extra cities too.

"Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" and "Pitbull's New Year's Revolution"
Music fans will find two great ways to ring in the new year via television this year.

This year's edition will include performances from Mariah Carey, DNCE, Thomas Rhett and Gloria Estefan with the cast of her Broadway musical "On Your Feet!," and Fergie taking the reins at the Hollywood outpost of the show. This 45-year-old New Year's Eve tradition will be staged in front of more than 1 million fans attending live in Times Square, with millions more watching the most famous midnight ball drop on TV. If you prefer tunes of the EDM/hip-hop variety, join Pitbull at what's being billed as "the hottest party in Miami" as he hosts his own countdown telecast live from Bayfront Park with co-hosts Queen Latifah and Snoop Dogg. Performers include Shawn Mendes, Prince Royce and Austin Mahone. WATCH IT: "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" will air at 8 p.m. Dec. 31 on ABC.

You asked: What continents were connected to Africa?
What two continents were connected?
Is Pangaea in Africa?
Did dinosaurs live on Pangea?
Did humans live on Pangea?
Beginning about 480 million years ago, a continent called Laurentia, which includes parts of North America, merged with several other micro-continents to form Euramerica. Euramerica eventually collided with Gondwana, another supercontinent that included Africa, Australia, South America and the Indian subcontinent.
From about 280-230 million years ago (Late Paleozoic Era until the Late Triassic), the continent we now know as North America was continuous with Africa, South America, and Europe. They all existed as a single continent called Pangea.
Dinosaurs lived on all of the continents. At the beginning of the age of dinosaurs (during the Triassic Period, about 230 million years ago), the continents were arranged together as a single supercontinent called Pangea. During the 165 million years of dinosaur existence this supercontinent slowly broke apart.
No, no species that can be related to Humans existed during the Pangea period.

Defense One reports that with crude oil prices dropping, the Department of Defense may save money currently allocated to fuel costs, which could then be reallocated through the Operations and Management budget to other priorities.
However, the department responsible for purchasing fuel for the services, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), has fixed the price of the oil it sells to the services at $134 a barrel over the next five years to insulate the military from extreme fluctuations in price. Which means that although crude oil is approximately $60 a barrel at present, DoD will not realize immediate cost savings. Instead DLA will likely hold onto those savings to avoid having to charge the military in excess of $134 a barrel should prices exceed that number between now and 2019.

WASHINGTON, DC – January's issue of National Defense Magazine features analysis on increasing competition in the global defense industry, from Avascent's Aleksandar Jovovic and Matthew Breen.
Major aerospace & defense firms are seeking to expand beyond traditional NATO markets to shore up their bottom lines in the coming years. This past summer, Avascent and FleishmanHillard conducted a survey of more than 350 A&D executives who commented on internal strategies, global markets, international competition, and their expectations of support from Washington.
Although some firms have reorganized their international business development and sales support teams, only about 25% of survey respondents perform consistent evaluation of international markets. This should be a key strategy point; traditional markets such as the UK, Canada, and the MENA region are responding to lower cost substitutes from suppliers outside the US. China, Israel, South Korea, Brazil, Turkey, and Russia all have competitive products on the global defense market, and some can offer tech transfers, or more sophisticated systems than the US can currently export. Meanwhile, emerging markets, such as India, Brazil, South Korea and Poland, have unique and often frustrating acquisitions processes by which US firms might convert defense requirements into sales. Support from Washington is key, and government officials are currently trying to improve Foreign Military Sales (FMS) procedures and export control burdens, but executives are skeptical about major changes in the near term.
WASHINGTON, DC – This past Sunday, ABC News' Martha Raddatz discussed Russia's latest example of military aggression. On Saturday, December 13, a Russian military jet nearly collided with a Scandinavian Airlines passenger plane, due to the former's transponder being turned off, which masked its heading, altitude, and airspeed to air traffic controllers. Russia is denying this, and several other documented incidents despite evidence that includes video taken by NATO interceptors flying alongside Russian military jets over the Baltic Sea last week.
Russia's economy is dependent on oil, and the combination of tumbling oil prices and sanctions have devalued the ruble by 40%. Ganyard noted that the subsequent, inevitable recession might provoke Putin to create an incident that would increase the price of oil—and that the Baltics would be a strategic place for any such incident to take place. Ganyard's analysis beings just after the 3 minute mark.
View Danger in the Sky: Russian Plane Near-Collision here.
WASHINGTON, DC – On December 9th, Fortune Magazine commented on the limited rocket engine options available to America's spaceflight industry. This especially applies to Orbital Sciences, which desperately needs new engines to fulfill its NASA contract after its Antares rocket powered by a "refurbished, Soviet-era AJ26 engine" exploded shortly after liftoff on its way to the International Space Station this past October.
Political tensions between the US and Russia are high at present, and Oribital's shareholders are not likely to favor the company using another Russian engine to get NASA's cargo into space. Unfortunately, at present Russian engines are the most compatible, affordable and readily available. Russian firm Energomash produces the RD-193, which employs liquid-fueled propulsion–ideal for Orbital's rockets. Meanwhile, domestic engine manufacturers do not have ready-made alternatives for the right price, although that will change over time. Orbital's merger with ATK will provide it with access to ATK's solid fuel engine options, but that still leaves the commercial spaceflight industry under-served in terms of overall engines in the near term.
WASHINGTON, DC – SatMagazine has published Avascent's Ian Christensen on the burgeoning trend of Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) worldwide financing more satellite deals in the immediate future than ever before. Often these loans support policies that use space capabilities to create jobs, develop talent, and increase industrial competitiveness. This trend started with the US Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im Bank) as well as France's Compagnie Française d'Assurance pour le Commerce Extérieur (Coface). Ex-Im has provided an estimated $4.8 billion since 2002 to finance more than 60% of US-manufactured satellites. It also has recently supplied $150 million to support Bulgaria's purchase of a geostationary communications satellite from US based Space Systems/Loral (SSL). Meanwhile Coface provided $225 million this year to finance Malaysia's MEASAT 3b, which Airbus Space & Defense manufactured in France.
Other ECA's have followed suit in seeking to finance satellite manufacturing both at home and abroad, including UK Export Finance, Export Development Canada, and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. "ECAs generally seek to provide financing necessary to help businesses turn opportunity into sales; and do not typically seek to recoup a market return on loans provided (instead seeking only coverage of operating costs)." As lenders of last resort, ECAs are nonetheless, competing to finance satellites in emerging markets. For example, six multinational banks have submitted proposals to back the purchase of Bangladesh's first geostationary communications satellite. While ECA financing may have played a limited role in the satellite industry in the past, that is set to change moving forward.

Governor proclaims Colorado Journalism Week at convention
By: Jennifer Forker - Updated: 3 years ago
COLORADO SPRINGS — Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper proclaimed April 16-22 as Colorado Journalism Week at the Colorado Press Association's annual convention in Colorado Springs on Friday.
With several hundred attending his keynote lunch remarks, Hickenlooper said it was a critical time to honor the work of journalists.
"There has never been a greater need than now for what you do," he told the crowd of mostly journalists. "I worry all the time that President Trump has attacked many of the foundations of the democracy — the judiciary, the FBI, the CIA — but he's probably been most relentless attacking the press."
"Those attacks, while they haven't broken the fabric of our Constitution, have weakened it," he added.
The governor's proclamation invoked the words of President James Madison: "A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives" and said "an informed constituency is essential to a healthy democracy."
Jerry Raehal, executive director of the Colorado Press Association, said the proclamation would kick off a year of advocacy.
"This is not about one week," Raehal said. "This is a launching pad for a year of talking about journalism — about what journalists do and why their work matters. It's about what the forefathers put in the First Amendment. We need to talk about this in our cities and towns."
In partnership with the Colorado Broadcasters Association, and the Open Media Foundation, Colorado Journalism Week celebrates and honors the hard work and ideals of Colorado's working press.
During Colorado Journalism Week, news organizations are being encouraged to engage their communities on social media next week using the hashtag #RealNewsCO, so the public might better understand people behind newsgathering and journalism.
During his lunchtime speech, the governor spoke to the critical nature of journalists' work.
"When people begin to doubt everything they read, there's a willingness to distrust any news organization," Hickenlooper said. "That's when the corporations of great size, the individuals that control huge amounts of wealth begin to have a greater level of control over the decisions made by this country."
"We accept this at our own peril, " he added.
During a question-and-answer period that followed his talk, Hickenlooper was asked what the state could do to help The Denver Post, which laid off more than two dozen newsroom employees on April 9 — the latest round of several layoffs during the past several years required by its hedge-fund owner.
"The last thing anyone wants is for the state of Colorado to own a newspaper," the governor said, adding that neither could the state provide tax breaks or financial resources for another entity to buy the newspaper.
"Maybe I could be useful connecting potential financial investors," the governor said.
A new entity, Together for Colorado Springs, this week floated the idea of purchasing The Denver Post. In an April 12 story in Colorado Springs Business Journal, John Weiss, the civic organization's chairman and the Business Journal's owner, said an exploratory committee had been created and $10 million already pledged by potential investors.

Bush Nixed Israeli Plea to Hit Iran
U.S. Reportedly Refused Israeli Plea to Raid Iran
Instead, Bush authorizes covert action to strike Tehran's nuclear efforts

WASHINGTONÂ — President George W. Bush rejected a plea from Israel last year to help it raid Iran's main nuclear complex, opting instead to authorize a new U.S. covert action aimed at sabotaging Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program, The New York Times reported.
Israel's request was for specialized bunker-busting bombs that it wanted for an attack that tentatively involved flying over Iraq to reach Iran's major nuclear complex at Natanz, where the country's only known uranium enrichment plan is located, the Times reported Saturday in its online edition.

The White House deflected requests for the bombs and flyover but said it would improve intelligence-sharing with Israel on covert U.S. efforts to sabotage Iran's nuclear program.
The covert efforts, which began in early 2008, involved plans to penetrate Iran's nuclear supply chain abroad and undermine electrical systems and other networks on which Iran relies, the Times said, citing interviews with current and former U.S. officials, outside experts and international nuclear inspectors who spoke on condition of anonymity. The covert program will be handed off to President-elect Barack Obama, who will deciding whether to continue it.
According to the Times, Bush decided against an overt attack based on input from top administration officials such as Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who believed that doing so would likely prove ineffective and could ignite a broader Middle East war.
Israel made the push for permission to fly over Iraq for an attack on Iran following its anger over a U.S. intelligence assessment in late 2007 that concluded Iran had effectively suspended its development of nuclear weapons four years earlier. Israel sought to rebut the report, providing evidence to U.S. intelligence officials that they said indicated the Iranians were still working on a weapon. …

From the New York Times report:
Israeli officials asked Washington for a new generation of powerful bunker-busters, far more capable of blowing up a deep underground plant than anything in Israel's arsenal of conventional weapons. They asked for refueling equipment that would allow their aircraft to reach Iran and return to Israel. And they asked for the right to fly over Iraq. Mr. Bush deflected the first two requests, pushing the issue off, but "we said 'hell no' to the overflights," one of his top aides said. At the White House and the Pentagon, there was widespread concern that a political uproar in Iraq about the use of its American-controlled airspace could result in the expulsion of American forces from the country.
Mr. Bush and his aides also discussed the possibility that an airstrike could ignite a broad Middle East war in which America's 140,000 troops in Iraq would inevitably become involved.
Reporting for the New York Times article was developed by its author, David E. Sanger, chief Washington correspondent for the Times, in the course of research for The Inheritance: The World Obama Confronts and the Challenges to American Power, to be published Jan. 13, 2010 by Harmony Books.
1/11/11 Update
Ex-CIA officer charged with leak to New York Times reporter (Adam Goldman, AP, Jan. 7, 2011) – Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA officer, has been indicted on 10 counts related to improperly keeping and disclosing national security secrets after being accused of leaking classified information about Iran to a New York Times reporter. The case centered on leaks to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist James Risen for his 2006 book, State of War. The book revealed details about the CIA's covert spy war with Iran. … Full story
Latest News & Video of the Conflict in Gaza from CNN
The Jan. 19, 2009 issue of Time magazine offers a thought-provoking overview of some of the challenges Israel faces with respect to Hamas. Following are some excerpts from the article, titled "Can Israel Survive Its Assault on Gaza?"
With each passing day, Israel's war against Hamas grows riskier and more punishing, with the gains appearing to diminish compared to the spiraling costs — to Israel's moral stature, to the lives of Palestinian civilians and to the world's hopes that an ancient conflict can ever be resolved. …
Israeli politicians and generals know that the total elimination of Hamas' entrenched military command could take weeks; it might be altogether impossible. …
The threat posed by Hamas is only the most immediate of the many interlocking challenges facing Israel, some of which cast dark shadows over the long-term viability of a democratic Jewish state. …
The offensive in Gaza may degrade Hamas' ability to menace southern Israel with rocket fire, but, as with Israel's 2006 war against Hizballah, the application of force won't extinguish the militants' ideological fervor. The anti-Israeli anger swelling in the region has made it more difficult for Arab governments to join Israel in its efforts to deal with Iran …
The broader aim of the Gaza war, Israeli security experts argue, was to send a message to Hamas' sponsor, Iran. … But by killing hundreds of Palestinians, Israel may have undermined its hopes of forming common cause with moderate Sunni Arab states against the nuclear ambitions of Shi'ite Iran. …

A well-funded charity organization called the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation is under fire after it was revealed that only 2% of its cash donations have actually been donated to veterans and their families. That information was recently brought to light by a team of CNN investigative reporters, who dug into tax records made available by a watchdog organization that tracks the financial performance of thousands of charities across the United States, and which named NVVF one of the "worst" veterans charities in existence — despite the fact that it's run by a combat veteran who is currently employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Interview: Matt Damon & Sharlto Copley Talk ELYSIUM at Sydney Premiere
Shane A. Bassett August 15, 2013 0 0
TYF Contributor Shane A. Bassett attended the black carpet premiere of Elysium in Sydney, Australia. He spoke with the stars of the film.
A scattering of cheers, amid a few screams upon exiting the big black hire car, Matt Damon arrived to the quietest premiere in Sydney I can remember. Walking the "black" carpet with South African costar of Elysium, Sharlto Copely, the pair was eager to share stories with me.
G'day Sharlto, how are you, mate?
SHARLTO COPLEY – I'm good. How are you mate?
Excellent, thanks. Kruger (Sharlto's character) is one nasty piece of work, how many versions of him did you try before deciding on his final traits?
SC – I was actually very resistant on the idea of making him South African; I felt that playing Wickers (in District 9) a sort of white South African hero for the first time in a long time, probably since The Gods Must be Crazy. It made me a little uncomfortable. I tried Eastern European, I tried American and even a British guy. Then I did three South African versions with three different accents from different stereotypes, but the Kruger myself and the director chose was the most diverse and entertaining—also evil—we just had to do it, and hopefully my countrymen will forgive me.
Was it your idea or director Neill Blomkamp's idea to use a samurai sword?
SC – That was Neill wanting the sword; I always have to find a reason why something should function for a character or what possessions he has. To us it was an idea of using the sword as an intimidation factor involving extracting information. So, although he has use of high tech weapons, the sword waving to make a point is African style (laughing).
Kruger is almost passive aggressive when apologizing for his actions at times.
SC – Well that's kind of a stereotype thing again when some circles in South Africa can be mean people, but they also think you must have proper manners. Speak properly. Mind your attitude and how you speak to a lady. But the next thing, the guy is head-butting you because they have a sense of being a barbarian.
Does Matt Damon have any kind of flaws or is he as perfect as he seems?
SC – It's weird, I was constantly looking for any kind of cracks, but the guy is brilliant, nothing bad to say, no sinister habits. The guy gets three hours sleep, and he still manages to be nice to everybody. The guy is horribly flawless, it's really annoying (laughing).
Speaking of perfection, Elysium is a paradise, would you add anything to suit yourself?
SC – Good question, Shane. I would add a motor-cross track around the edges as a bonus.
Finally, any news on a much wanted District 9 sequel?
SC – It's going to happen; it's just a question of when, mate. Nice to meet you.
Several minutes later Matt Damon made his presence known and shook my hand.
Congratulations on the Emmy nomination (Behind the Candelabra), however where do you keep your Oscar (for writing Good Will Hunting)?
MD – Ahh… Let me think, let's see, it's in my New York apartment.
Most of Elysium was shot on a garbage dump in Mexico; did you have to put on gas masks between takes?
MD – The crew did; we had to work so we couldn't (laughing). It didn't smell great, but it's actually some of my favorite stuff in the movie. Even when we were shooting it, the photography kept it so interesting and cool. I was pretty excited to be there even though the conditions weren't great.
Your character is brutal if pushed, but he is also a nice guy helping people. Was that to establish human spirit amongst robotics?
MD – Neill came up with it, to make me an anti-hero, not a typical protagonist in a movie but also a person the audience would pull for and follow.
Did you always want to be an actor in the early years?
MD – My mother is a professor of early childhood education so to hear her tell it, she says she knew I was going to do this from two years old. I remember always making up stories in my head and pretending I was other people. It was meant to be I guess.
What was the funniest moment behind the scenes on the set for you?
MD – Sharlto had me laughing quite a bit; he had me laughing daily. He would break into my trailer and splash fake blood all over the place and leave severed body parts or limbs around with notes that said, "Kruger is coming to get you."
He said he couldn't find a single fault in you, no cracks in your personality whatsoever.
MD – That's completely true; I don't have a single gaff, not one fault. Thanks Shane.

The Tampa Museum of Art invites Tampa Bay to the Centennial Celebration: Cheers for 100 Years.
"The community's support has been essential to the Museum's success year after year. In 2020 TMA needs the community's help more than ever to ensure this legacy continues to enrich our community for generations to come."
TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB) November 06, 2020
This Saturday, the Tampa Museum of Art invites the community to celebrate a milestone for the Tampa Bay area 100 years in the making. Because the safety and well-being of guests, volunteers, staff, and community remain TMA's top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Museum will host one big virtual evening of giving on November 7, 2020, the Centennial Celebration: Cheers for 100 Years, presented by PNC Bank.
This month marks 100 years since a passionate community of art enthusiasts came together to inaugurate the first of hundreds of exhibitions at what is today the Tampa Museum of Art. As the Museum and the Tampa Bay area grew, the artwork on view inspired thousands of art education programs, school tours, community outreach programs, and more. Michael Tomor, the Penny and Jeff Vinik Executive Director of the Tampa Museum of Art, said that "the community's support has been essential to the Museum's success year after year. In 2020 TMA needs the community's help more than ever to ensure this legacy continues to enrich our community for generations to come."
Supporters of the Centennial Celebration: Cheers for 100 Years virtual evening of giving will enjoy a fun night of virtual entertainment, with live performances, stories, interviews, and reflections on a century of accomplishments. Throughout the evening, ticket holders will participate in our chance drawings and live auction. All proceeds will support the innovative exhibitions and art education programs that the Tampa Museum of Art brings our growing and diverse community.
Likewise, the funds raised will also support special outreach programs that provide art therapy interventions and meaningful modes of self-expression to vulnerable segments of the population. These groups include children and teens in foster care, children in domestic violence shelters, children of migrant communities, adults living with dementia, HIV/AIDs, Substance Use Disorder, and many more.
The Tampa Museum of Art was built by the community to serve all people in the Tampa Bay region. As the Museum sets its sights on the future, continuing to partner with businesses and individuals will help the Museum grow a legacy of art and culture in Tampa that inspires and represents all members of our community.
Tickets to the Centennial Celebration: Cheers for 100 Years are $100 and include access to the virtual celebration, one entry to a chance drawing for prizes throughout the event, opportunities to bid on live auction items, and a coffee table book about the Tampa Museum of Art's history, titled The Making of a Museum: 100 Years, 100 Works. Tickets and more information about the event and prizes are available at tampamuseum.org/centennial.

In getting to your decision, it's always helpful to learn as much as you can about your spouse's condition – typical symptoms, treatment, on-going concerns and long-term prognosis.
This will help you formulate a picture of what the future holds and understand the possibilities for change.
At first, she was diagnosed with ADHD which is much more common than bipolar.
When you get diagnosed with ADHD, they give you speed for it and things got worse.
I had to approach her ADHD doctor and tell her what was really going on.
They put on a very good outside face and they're very horrible to people inside their family that are burdening them.
One of the contentions I have with the treatment is that they never stopped treating for ADHD. I just want to give you more information on what's going on and if you think it's relevant and it affects the treatment, I'm hoping it will.
I consider it to be a misdiagnosis, because when you give a bipolar speed, they try to take on more than they should. When I talk to her physician, she's not in the room and there isn't a privacy issue because I approach them and say, "I'm in the middle of this. I'm telling you everything and you benefit from it in any way you want. If it doesn't, I don't know what to do." Unfortunately, when you're the spouse it's a lot different than more distance family.
So, when I told her doctor what was going on, that led to a bipolar diagnosis and a round of treatment that eventually didn't work.


I noticed that I cant upload videos on here so I am adding my facebook buisness link and youtube link below.
So a while back I posted on here that I was swapping my stock yamaha g22 motor out for a diesel motor. I finally completed the swap and it runs beautifully. I have a few more additions I need to do to the rear end for the speed I want but she definitely has some amazing torque. We test drove it at 3/4 throttle and pushed through 10" of snow no problem! I am very happy with the results!
Nice job wnbn I'm impressed !!!!
That thing is sweet, nice work.
Do you have pictures of the drive train?


A Windsor Locks resident is asking police to investigate the vandalism of a lawn statue as a hate crime.
The Journal Inquirer of Manchester reports that someone decapitated Darlene Fraga's statue of the Virgin Mary on July 11 and replaced the head with a garden gnome.
Fraga's friend, Roger Cygan of Somers, this week offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. He told the newspaper that Fraga is very upset and views the vandalism as a hate crime.
Police Sgt. Frank Brown says police have no leads or suspects.

Q: A property related to permutations with coprime adjacent values Sequence A76220 of OEIS enumerates (up to $n=25$) the number $a_n$
of permutations $\sigma$ of $\lbrace 1,\ldots,n\rbrace$ such that
$\sigma(i)$ and $\sigma(i+1)$ are coprime for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$.
All these numbers are obviously even for $n>1$.
All these numbers are divisible by $3$ for $n\geq 3$.
All these numbers are divisible by $9$ for $n\geq 5$.
All these numbers are divisible by $5$ for $n\geq 17$.
Such a number $a_n$ is divisible by $k!$ if there are $k-1$ primes
larger than $n/2$ and smaller than $n$ (the images of $1$ and of these primes in any
permutation contributing to $a_n$ can be arbitrarily permuted).
The above examples suggest however better divisibility properties, suggesting the following problem:
Given an integer $n$, what is the maximal number $k=k(n)\leq n$ such
that for every permutation $\sigma$ of $\lbrace 1,\ldots,n\rbrace$ there exists a set $\lbrace a_1,\ldots,a_k\rbrace$ of $k$ elements in $\lbrace 1,\ldots,n\rbrace$ with $\sigma(a_i)$ coprime to
$\sigma(a_j\pm 1)$ for all $i$ and $j$ (with $a_j-1$ or $a_j+1$
outside $\lbrace 1,\ldots,n\rbrace$ dropped)?
Can one say something meaningful on the asymptotics of $k(n)$ (e.g., has it sublinear growth)?
Observation: We can of course assume that $a_1,\ldots,a_k$
contains the preimage of $1$ and of all primes larger than $n/2$ in
$\lbrace 1,\ldots,n\rbrace$.

A: Define $k(\sigma)$ as the maximal $k$ satisfying the requirements for that single permutation $\sigma$. Then even $\max_{\sigma\in S_n}k(\sigma)$ is sublinear in $n$.
Consider a graph on $[n]$, where edges are pairs of coprime numbers. A desired set $\{a_1,\dots,a_k\}$ corresponds to a complete bipartite subgraph with parts $V_1=\{\sigma(a_i)\colon i\in[k]\}$ and $V_2=\{\sigma(a_i\pm1)\colon i\in[k]\}$ (not exactly so; see below). The cardinalities of both parts are linear in $k$.
This means that the set $\mathbb P_n=\mathbb P\cap[n]$ is split into two parts, $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, such that the prime divisors of elements in $V_i$ are all in $Q_i$/. Minimal of such parts has a sublinear in $n$ cardinality.
Indeed, fix some number $D$ which is large but much smaller than $n$, and consider the intersections $\mathbb P_i'=\mathbb P_i'\cap [D]$. Then
$$
  \frac{|V_i|}n\leq \prod_{p\in\mathbb P_i'}\left(1-\frac1p\right)(1+o(1)).
$$
Since one of the two products is small, the claim follows.
Correction. The statement about complete bipartite graph is not completely true in the case when $a_i\pm1$ equals some $a_j$. In this case, we put such $\sigma(a_i)$ into only one part of the bipartite graph, so that the sizes of the parts differ by a factor of at most 2; then both sizes are still linear in $k$.

The Jesus and Mary Chain was beïnvloed door onder andere The Ramones en The Shangri-Las ('Ooit gaan we een Shangri-Las-plaat maken') en gaf in het begin van zijn carrière ultrakorte concerten (10 minuten) waarbij de band met de rug naar het publiek toe speelde en op journalisten en fotografen spuugde.

In 1984 bracht de band een single uit op het Creation-label om vervolgens bij Blanco Y Negro te tekenen. Met Primal Scream-frontman Bobbie Gillespie op drums werd het lovend ontvangen debuutalbum Psychocandy opgenomen. Gillespie kon echter niet altijd aanwezig zijn en eind 1985 vertrok hij om zich volledig te richten op het eveneens invloedrijke Primal Scream.

In 1995 liep het Blanco Y Negro-contract af en keerde The Jesus and Mary Chain terug naar Creation, waar drie jaar later het album Munki verscheen. Op 12 september 1998 kregen de broers ruzie; het uiteenvallen werd pas een jaar later officieel bekendgemaakt.

In 2007 kwamen de broers weer bij elkaar op het Coachella-festival in Californië; ze werkten aan nieuw materiaal.

In 2015 stonden ze op het Best Kept Secret Festival.

Gilbert Dickey, a recent law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has joined McGuireWoods' nationally recognized appellate practice in Washington, D.C. He is one of seven former Supreme Court law clerks in the firm's litigation practices.
Dickey clerked for Thomas during the court's 2017-2018 term. Before that, he served for two years as an assistant state attorney general in West Virginia. In that role, he defended state legislation in trial courts, prepared multistate amicus briefs in U.S. Supreme Court matters, and briefed and argued cases in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.
After graduating from the University of Chicago Law School in 2012, Dickey clerked for Judge William H. Pryor Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and spent a year in private practice before joining the West Virginia attorney general's office.
"Gilbert's experience with Justice Thomas and as an assistant attorney general brings tremendous benefits for the firm and our clients," said Matt Fitzgerald, who also clerked for Thomas. Fitzgerald co-chairs the firm's appellate practice with partners Brad Kutrow and John Adams, also a former Supreme Court clerk. "Gilbert's decision to join McGuireWoods reflects the national reputation of our appellate practice," Fitzgerald said.
"Gilbert brings great knowledge and experience to our appeals and issues team and is a valued addition to the firm," added Managing Partner J. Tracy Walker IV.
Dickey joins a McGuireWoods practice that The National Law Journal recently named to its prestigious 2018 Appellate Hot List honoring leading firms that achieved great success before the U.S. Supreme Court and federal appeals courts. Besides Adams and Fitzgerald, the appellate team includes former Supreme Court clerks Benjamin Hatch, Brian Schmalzbach, Rebecca Gantt and Katherine Mims Crocker.
Note: Dickey is a member of the Alabama and West Virginia bars and has applied for admission to the District of Columbia bar. While he awaits admission, he is practicing under the supervision of an active D.C. bar member.

Hardware Customization in a Software-Driven Universe
By Arthur Cole
You hear a lot these days about the programmability of software defined networks. Reworking software-based architectures is a lot easier, and much more dynamic, than reconfiguring hardware infrastructure. But along with programmability, emerging networks have the opportunity to enable another key function: customization.
These two concepts are related but distinct. Programmability enables the network to rapidly adapt to shifting data loads and traffic patterns, while customization tends more toward longer-term configurations that address the unique challenges of individual data environments.
There is little doubt that programmability is best handled in software, and is in fact the key selling point for SDN. But some are starting to wonder whether customization may be better left to hardware, in particular the silicon that populates physical infrastructure.
The idea has caught on at none other than Intel, which this week unveiled the new Xeon E5-2600 v3 device, the former Grantley-EP project. Taking a cue from the ODM suppliers that are fueling the hyperscale infrastructure movement, Intel has begun designing specialized versions of the chip for key customers. Microsoft, for one is using its specialty chips to enable crucial functions like accelerated encryption and improved compression that otherwise would have to be implemented in software, which would ultimately expand overhead to the processing load and potentially increase latency.
According to Intel datacenter group general manager Diane Bryant, this kind of functionality is in preparation for an age when data infrastructure is tailored to the needs of users, rather than the other way around. As she told the Intel Developer Forum this week, customization will likely inhabit the entire stack, from the virtual/software layer to the accelerator, the SoC and the instruction set architecture. This is part of the reason the company launched the Network Builders program, which in less than a year has gathered support from Oracle, HP, Citrix, Dell and other industry leaders.
When you start talking about hardware customization, however, it isn't long before the conversation turns to the field programmable gate array (FPGA). These devices are shipped in a rudimentary state and are then programmed by the distributor or even the end user shortly before deployment. This allows the chip to perform a wide range of specialized functions that are not available on standard CPUs. Microsoft is working with FPGAs to increase the performance of its Bing search engine, concentrating largely on improving the PCIe performance of SuperMicro servers for various accelerator cards. The chief advantage of the FPGA vs. a specialized chip is that the former can be reprogrammed more easily should network software change.
This may be well and good for top consumers like Microsoft, but what about the average enterprise? Is there a chance that customization could make its way to the network controller? At the moment, most of the work is taking place either on long-haul networks or on memory or CPU architectures. Altera Communications, for example, offers a range of FPGAs, SoCs, ASICs and other devices suitable for 100G optical networks, OpenCL parallel programming environments and Intel's QuickPath interconnect. However, its partner Intilop is working with the Altera Stratix IV and V FPGA to provide 16K TCP acceleration for cloud and data center networks.
So for the moment, the fully customizable physical network remains elusive. But if FPGAs and other solutions start to provide new levels of flexibility elsewhere in the hardware environment, it won't be long before enterprise designers start clamoring for the same functionality on the network.
Hardware still won't be the most exciting aspect of the modern network, but it will provide crucial flexibility where it counts.

Chili today, hot tamale
First of all, after Kevin Millar made a good defensive play in the bottom of the first inning of the Sox-Angels game, ESPN color commentator Rick Sutcliffe asked the director for a close-up of Kevin Millar's face to make sure it wasn't Doug Mientkewicz in a Kevin Millar uniform. Someone's been reading baseballrelated.com!
Second, and more important, I commiserated with the Rocketship by making chili con carne to eat during the game, and this is the recipe I used.
2 pounds lean ground beef (I guess any ground meat would be okay)
2 medium onions
2 bell peppers (I used one green and one red)
1 28-ounce can ready-cut ("Recipe Ready") tomatoes (because cutting up the onions, peppers, and garlic is plenty without having to cut up tomatoes, too)
1 15-ounce can kidney beans
1 15-ounce can pinto beans
Dash of salt
Chop the onions and bell peppers into small pieces. Chop the garlic into very, very small pieces.
Brown the meat and drain.
In a big pot, stir together everything but the beans and cheese. Cook, covered, over low-to-medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drain the beans and stir them into the chili. Continue cooking, still covered, for another 30 minutes.
Serve in bowls and put shredded cheese on top. As listed above, the recipe makes about 8 servings of chili, which is good in my case because although it's good right after it's made, it's even better as a leftover. It should be fairly easy to halve, although you'll probably have to make a choice between kidney beans and pinto beans instead of having both. (Why am I not having people over to my place? Fewer baseball fans among my southern California friends, worse start times in terms of people being able to drop by for the game after work, and the fact that my bathroom is a mess because the apartment complex maintenance staff is working on the ceiling.)
Here's what it looks like before the cheese is put on top (and, no, you don't use the whole bag on one bowl unless you like cheese more than you like chili)…
Goes great with $7.00 beer, and Sarah Michelle Gellar…
And it tastes even better when Johnny Damon is on TV…
Incidentally, the advantage to having a local team in the playoffs while you're trying to TiVo their game, airing on ESPN, is that the coverage is duplicated on a local channel. In this case, the game bounced from ESPN2 to ESPN once the Twins-Yankees game finally ended, but L.A.'s UPN 13 carried it straight through, with a minimum of scrolling messages informing all 10 or 11 potential viewers of the UPN show "Kevin Hill" that tonight's episode would be airing on Saturday.
Original comments…
Levi: One thing you might try in the future, Jim: Fritos. I think the only reason they're on the earth is to be put in chili just before you put in the cheese.
We didn't see much baseball last night, just a bit in a hotel bar while waiting for Stacey's aunt and uncle to show up from the airport. So we saw the Yankees leeding 5-3 in the 8th, Rivera coming in. "Oh, we don't need to watch–we can go sit in the lobby. We saw Rivera blow a lead in 2001, so we won't see that again for another few years."
Checking in a few minutes later, finding it 5-5, we decided to leave a note at the desk telling Auntie where to find us.
But then, at dinner, it all went bad. Stacey and I were occasionally our heads in the bar–where the bartendress was a Minneapolis transplant and where there was also one Yankee fan who, when I said to the bartendress, "Everybody hates the Yankees!", said, "Not everybody!". Stacey saw that the Twins had gone ahead in the 12th. Next thing I knew, I saw from across the restaurant a crowd of bouncing Yankees. And they didn't look like they were bouncing the bounce of despair.
Oh, well. There's always game 3.
Jim: "Bartendress"?
By the way, Rogue Dead Guy Ale was a $7.00 beer in Pittsburgh, and it's still a $7.00 beer in L.A….but in this case, it's $7.00 for a 6-pack at BevMo in Van Nuys. Actually, $6.99 plus "CRV" (deposit).
Dan: SMG, still hot? I lost track a few years back.
Jim: She's no Alyson Hannigan, that's for sure (although Alyson is admittedly more "intensely cute" than "hot").
Levi: I'm so with Jim on the Alyson Hannigan thing, although I do tend to think SMG is hotter than, say, most blondes. But that's mainly because she kills vampires, who are not hot.

A new documentary explaining the history and evolution of one of Europe's largest illuminated carnivals is set to be officially launched on Wednesday 15 July at The Admiral's Landing pub in Bridgwater.
Titled 'Bridgwater – The Home of Carnival', the 10 minute documentary will receive its first public screening at a special gathering of carnival supporters and judges.
The unique documentary has been produced and directed by five students from the University of Gloucester, who have made the film as part of their television production degree. As well as discussing the coveted history of Bridgwater Carnival, the documentary contains interviews with local carnivalites including Chunky Dunster from Marketeers CC, Andy McLean from Gremlins CC, Andrew Tallon from Mendip Vale CC and Carnivals in Somerset Promotion Project, and Dave Stokes, publicity for Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival.
Conor Shutler, the documentary's producer and director, said: "As part of our coursework for the degree, we were asked to make a 10 minute documentary on a subject of our choice.
Immediately after the first public screening on Wednesday 15 July, the documentary will be made available on the official Bridgwater Carnival website for all to see.
Rita Jones, president of Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, added: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Conor and his team for making this wonderful documentary about the carnival we love.

Thanks to all of you First Coast Tea Party members for your support and most of all your prayers.
The first day when Billie posted his story Jonathan was so excited that things were finally going to change, then he was concerned. He called me back and wanted to know what would happen to him if too much money accumulated.
For those of you who believe God does not belong in the Tea Party Movement, you might want to move along to another article. I'm probably going to irritate you so no need in that. Just move along. Move along. Nothing here for you to read.
It's Sunday morning and I woke up with this lyric in my head, "the only hope for our country is Him." This line comes from a song sung by Carmen in a video he made in the 1990s. Who is Carman?
Control of our borders is the single biggest defensive battle of the war. If we do not find a way to protect the structure of our country we are doomed to failure.
Focus on the needs which show the true nature of our national character.
Day: 6 Thank you again for your many encouraging notes and promises of prayer. Reading them gives me a real lift. I'm glad to know that they are encouraging you to continue in prayer for the people of Japan.

In Search of Black History with Bonnie Greer
What listeners say about Ep. 1: Bones Do Not Lie
Ethel Tambudzai
Phenomenal & So enlightening! Thank you Bonnie
Such an insightful podcast on the histories of those of us who make Black Britain as a collective. From the African perspective and those of the Caribbean roots too.
I now have a stronger appreciation for the British Museum.
Alex Jaradi
Decent audiobook, elevated by the subject matter
This review covers all parts of the series.
Overall, it's a decently made series, but the production side of things leaves a bit to be desired. The narration seems a bit meandering and aimless at times, and the interviews could benefit from a bit of editing, both in terms of content and sound design. There are also numerous parts where we hear people walking down hallways, opening doors, and so on, without much else (if anything) happening. Overall, it comes across more like listening to a low-budget TV documentary at times.
My wife and I used to watch Ancient Aliens for laughs, which (among many other things) is an egregious offender of the trope where the narrator repeats the last thing said by an interviewee, often with a question mark at the end. I bring this up because Bonnie Greer has a tendency to do the same, often with excruciating slowness, lending even more weight to the "cheap TV documentary" feel of it all.
However, the subject matter is highly interesting, and there are some great stories to be found here, which does elevate the enjoyment of the series overall. Exploring the stories and history of black people from outside the perspective of colonialism is unfortunately still a rare thing these days, and I do feel like there could've been more quality content of that sort in this series, but what little there was, was still deeply intriguing and worthwhile.
It's definitely worth a listen, and despite my nagging nit-picks mentioned here, I did enjoy it quite a bit.

History is written by the victorious
This is a deeply personal retelling of one woman's search for identity through the ages. It is challenging and touching, and infuriating—especially tackling the Enlightenment period, which seems fitting given the era's many contradictions. But above all, this story—her story, is necessary.
Obscure examples used to shine a light on the black experience through history, causing you to unlearn some of what you have been taught. Has reignited interest and forced me to revisit conceptions and misconceptions.
Excellent style, narration, excellent in every way!
Ross H
Highly educational look into some of the more obscure - because of racism - black people throughout history, highly recommended and excellently delivered
Beni Kavangama
Insightful into African history, archaeology was a great place to start. I am able to follow the story.
Great narration. Clear and easy to follow.
Joanna Everard
Amazing series
This series is amazing, telling the story of the black history we haven't been taught from earliest times, through Black Tudor times and onwards. Interviews with academics and museum curators and others in the UK, US and Africa. So much interesting history and so much I didn't know. Wow!
Katemonster
Seemed a bit muddled
Well it WAS free so I suppose I can't complain. And it did have some interesting parts. But it all seemed a bit random, there was no overall storyline, and the narrator sometimes seemed to be arguing both ends against the middle.
Plus I'm afraid her American accent grated on me.
Powerful and thoughtful
This series is powerful thoughtful and compelling. It is fascinating heartbreaking and inspirational. A wonderful series.
caroline bruce
This podcast has unearthed and opened up topics of conversation that should be common place. This should be distributed throughout the schooling systems. Very easy listening for myself as an adult but also my year 7 and year 9 children.
DFK
Fascinating material (all 8 ep); Greer disappoints
I will copy the same review for all 8 episodes, because the reviews are set up for each episode and not the whole series. The material is fascinating and put together very well. I learned a lot. The people that Greer spoke with are all impressive. But Greer herself is quite disappointing in her narrative style. Extremely slow, as if she thinks she is talking to idiots. Or maybe as if she thinks by speaking slowly she is emphasizing how amazing it all is. I don't really get it, but I found it irritating. And you can't speed it up, because all the interviewees who speak do so at a normal pace, so to switch back and forth would be too annoying. Greer also uses the word "simply" too much, as in something like "simply astounding". And then her pronunciation of "foment" as "forment," several times. (I think that was in Ep 7, but I'm not certain.) Errors like that annoy me, especially when from an educated, literary person. But don't let those gripes deter you, because there is some really interesting and enlightening content.
Cow Eyes
What a lovely tone the narrator has!
I loved the music, the interviews and the wonderful stories! I didn't want it to end.

In Search of Black History with Bonnie Greer: Episode 1- Bones Do Not Lie was a good listen by Bonnie Greer. This episode goes back 300,000 years to meet the earliest human ancestors. Bonnie takes to archaeologists who uncover untold stories of modern human origins.
A Life changing listen.
Thank You Bonnie for doing such an amazing job putting this all together. I listened to everyone of them; some more than once. You changed my entire perspective on black lives, the black polis, and the natural majesty of black woman throughout history. I more than loved it... Thank you so much for your hard work. - Mark Kennedy

Articulation errors throughout
The author's resonating vocal quality reminded me of Maya Angelou's. She even spoke slowly and in a drawl like Ms. Angelou, but Ms. Greer's articulation errors were disturbing throughout the narration. As a speech-language pathologist, I'll give a couple of examples: 'with' became "wif"; 'truth' became "truf". I kept listening, thinking I was mistaken, but the /th/ errors were consistent throughout the narration, which made an intelligent woman sound incompetent as a speaker.
Enlightening and thought-provoking series
Sometimes the hardest thing to learn is just how much you don't know.
I briefly mentioned in a previous review how woefully limited my public K-12 school education was in regards to US history, so I was well-prepared to learn more about the history of black people in the US, specifically how they have aided or pioneered progress and shaped the country's history on a national scale than my high school was willing to disclose. In search of black history with Bonnie Greer covers much more than than that, beginning with prehistory, moving through pre-colonialism and post-colonialism into the 21st century.
The highlights for me were learning about Jacques Francis, a West African salvaged diver, and John Blanke, a royal court trumpeter, two men who lived in Tudor England, which showed me that continental migration predates colonialism, as well as learning about Pauli Murray, the badass Civil Rights activist that was cast aside for being too much of a maverick.
In Search of Black History is enlightening and thought-provoking. I found it well-produced and enjoyed both Bonnie Greer's narration (she both exuded a calming presence and, at times, demonstrated a laid back sense of humor) and her interactions with the historians she spoke with during the documentary.
Revealing scientifically and spiritually uplifting
The amount of historical and scientific resources fascinated me. I also loved the music and way in which it was directed and weaved. My fav part was how the scholars were not American origins so their lens was more worldly and not so ethnocentric. Americans think the world resolves around their arrival to this continent. Lol
Sevans
This is human history at it's finest
I was not sure what to expect when I purchased this series but I'm so glad that I did! There is so much that we have not been taught about our black brothers and sisters. I was amazed, intrigued, amused, and horrified throughout the series. It is a very worthwhile listen and even a re-listen or two. Thank you Bonnie for bringing these stories and information to my awareness.
Birgit Miranda
Painful narration
Bonnie Greer has a great voice and speaks great when not reading the episode. But it's frustrating listening to her slow and emphasis on every syllabus.
Some new ideas but a real stretch to get black genes into everybody... and what does that really matter? Seems like a forced legitimization...
I like the point about "out of Africa".
ryan tanner
Starting with a looted object
I'm just amazed this whole episode starts with the narrator admiring a stolen and looted object from the British Museum; one of the greatest collections of stolen art in the world. What a whitewash from the beginning
