(Washington, D.C.) – The government of President Daniel Ortega is doubling down in its effort to silence dissent, Human Rights Watch said today.
On December 19, 2018, Foreign Affairs Minister Denis Moncada expelled from Nicaragua the Special Monitoring Mechanism for Nicaragua (MESENI) and the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (GIEI), two bodies linked to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. On the same day, a police official leveled dangerous allegations against Vilma Nuñez, the most prominent human rights defender in the country and the president of the respected Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry summoned the representatives of both international human rights bodies on December 19. When they arrived, Moncada announced that their mandates were "temporarily suspended." The GIEI had prepared to issue a report on December 20 assessing the government's efforts to prosecute those responsible for grave human rights violations connected to the crackdown against protests in the country that started in April. All staff members of both groups left the country on December 20.
Moncada sent a letter to the secretary general of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, stating that the Nicaraguan government had acted in "good faith" while MESENI and GIEI had behaved with an "interventionist attitude" in the country. Moncada contended that the experts had "contravened" Nicaraguan law by interviewing victims and requesting information from human rights groups. Only the Attorney General's Office is legally empowered to investigate crimes in the country, Moncada said.
On the same day, Police General Luis Pérez Oliva said that Núñez and Gonzalo Carrión, two prominent figures in the Nicaraguan Human Rights Center (CENIDH), had "cover[ed] up for the real criminals" responsible for an arson fire that killed four adults and two children in Managua on June 16. Survivors of the fire blamed the police and armed pro-government groups in social media videos and interviews with the press. A witness told Human Rights Watch that policemen and armed pro-government groups first shot at community members and then at first responders after they removed the bodies from the house. Human Rights Watch reviewed footage taken by a firefighter fleeing the scene as police started shooting at the first responders.
Pérez Oliva said at a news conference that Núñez had "instigated survivors" to "accuse the government of Nicaragua and the National Police" by offering them visas to Costa Rica and the United States. Pérez Oliva also said that Carrión, CENIDH chief counsel, had made "fake statements," accusing the National Police of the arson.
Núñez is the founder and president of the prestigious 28-year-old CENIDH, which has played an essential role in documenting abuses and supporting victims in Nicaragua. For decades, Núñez has been a tireless advocate for human rights and a central figure in Nicaraguan civil society. She has assisted hundreds of victims in their demands for justice, including Zoilamérica Narváez, the daughter of Vice President Rosario Murillo, who in 1998 accused Ortega of having raped her when she was a child.
Carrión has for years been in charge of coordinating a team of human rights lawyers who provide free legal assistance to victims of human rights violations.
On December 12, Congress stripped the group of its legal registration, accusing it of engaging in an "attempted coup." On the night of December 13, police officers raided its office in Managua, confiscating documents and computers. Police are still occupying the office and staff members have not been allowed in.

Addressing links between poverty, housing, water access and affordability in Detroit
In a new study of water access and affordability in Detroit, University of Michigan researchers determined that about 10% of the city's population is "triple burdened," meaning those residents face higher than average rates of poverty, housing cost burden, and incomplete plumbing. The researchers analyzed census tracts and mapped the overlap between various factors that affect water affordability.

By Conor Durkin | Michigan News |
ANN ARBOR—In a new study of access to clean and affordable water in Detroit, University of Michigan researchers found that about 10% of the city's population is "triple burdened," meaning those residents face higher than average rates of poverty, housing cost burden and incomplete plumbing.
And in some Detroit neighborhoods, up to 10% of homes lack complete access to water, meaning they lack either hot and cold running water, a bathtub or shower, or a sink with a faucet, according to the study funded by U-M's Poverty Solutions initiative.
"Ensuring water access and affordability for Detroit residents is critical," said Sara Hughes, an environmental policy analyst at the School for Environment and Sustainability and lead author of the study. "Solving the water access and affordability challenge in Detroit requires engaging with the interactive consequences of an aging system, high levels of poverty and persistent housing challenges."
Hughes and other researchers at SEAS and U-M's Erb Institute analyzed census tracts and mapped the overlap between various factors that affect water affordability. They assessed ways current actions, while effective, fail to meet the scale needed for the city to link residents with clean, affordable water.
In their Poverty Solutions policy brief, the authors also propose strategies to address water security concerns in Detroit:
Expand funding for residential plumbing repairs. As the federal government considers additional drinking water investments, resources should be available for repairs as well as direct bill assistance.
Use city water data to identify target investments, reach customers with the greatest need and reduce barriers to access.
Strengthen coordination between city departments. Greater coordination between the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, Detroit Health Department, Detroit Housing and Revitalization Department and the city's Office of Sustainability could help to identify synergistic and innovative strategies to prevent future systems from disrepair.
According to Hughes and her colleagues, Detroit's median household income ($30,894) is just over half the median for statewide households ($57,144), and more than one-third of the city's residents live below the poverty line. At the same time, 41% of the city's residents face high housing costs—defined as exceeding 30% of household income—and this number is even higher for renters (53%).
On top of that, nearly half of the city's residents pay more than 3% of their income for water, a common benchmark for water affordability. Water consumption per capita is much lower than the national average, yet Detroit residents still have higher water costs.
"The pandemic highlighted how important it is from a public health perspective that people have reliable access to clean water, for hand washing and other measures that are not possible if you don't have running water or can't afford your water bill," Hughes said. "People were also losing wages, making it even tougher to keep up with water bills."
The majority of Detroit residents' homes were built before 1950, and some low-income households are in some of the city's oldest homes, according to the Poverty Solutions policy brief. These aging homes are more likely to need costly repairs that heighten the burden of high housing costs.
The report notes that although state and federal programs exist to assist with energy concerns for households, like the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, similar programs do not exist for water concerns. Funds for water and sewage assistance for Michigan residents are reserved only for emergencies and have gone widely underused by the state.
For Detroit, programs like the Great Lakes Water Authority's Water Residential Assistance Program assist customers in low-income areas with water bills and reduction of water consumption. WRAP offers conservation audits to households exceeding 120% of the city's average water consumption, with a cap of $1,500 in repairs and maintenance costs.
However, insufficient funds have limited the number of homes WRAP has been able to assist, as well as the degree they are able to repair. The report found "nearly all (97%) of participating households needed additional plumbing repairs beyond those provided during the audit." The total number of homes WRAP assisted in 2019 was 2,047, which is about half of the total number of households that lacked complete plumbing.
The policy brief shows that existing programs, while they provide improvements, fail to meet the amount of Detroit households in need of aid to make substantial repairs.
Although plumbing repairs will not eliminate the water affordability crisis in Detroit, they are an essential step toward providing clean and accessible water, according to the report's authors.
The other authors of the Poverty Solutions policy brief are Kathryn Maloney, Anna Kaczmarek and Heather Newberry of the U-M School for Environment and Sustainability, and Elizabeth Wallace of U-M's Erb Institute.

Before the summer holidays, USP teachers have immersed in planning the upcoming academic year. Check out what's coming up for Autumn 2018!
The academic year will begin with a Welcome week and Orientation for the new USP students. Students will participate in the official orientation programme by their home university (University of Helsinki or Aalto University) as well as in joint activities by the Master's Programme in Urban Studies and Planning. Also Mesta ry, the student association of USP, will have something fun in store for the new students. Admitted USP students should reserve the orientation weeks (29.8.-7.8.) in their calendars – it's a not-to-be-missed opportunity to get to know your new university and study peers!
Aalto University students: Compulsory USP info on Wednesday 5th of September at 9-11am in Rakentajanaukio 4, room 266. For other Orientation Week activities, please visit Aalto website.
All admitted students receive a detailed orientation week schedule via email. This schedule is subject to small changes.
"It's a priviledge to study in USP"
To ensure the best possible quality in teaching for the next academic year, feedback from both teachers and students has been collected throughout the first USP year via e.g. online questionnaires, discussions and a bootcamp for teachers. Continuous development of teaching is essential in this new interdisciplinary and international study programme. We want to involve everyone in the USP community – professors, teachers, students and coordinators – in the process. "It's important that teaching staff has been collecting students opinions", was a comment by one USP student.
The USP autumn semester is full of inspiring lectures and learning activities! First year students will begin to develop their core skills in the Research Methods (5cr) and Urban GIS & Visual Tools (5cr) courses. Every Monday students will immerse in the series of HOT TALKS as part of the USP Introduction course (10cr), given by the best experts in urban studies and planning. On Fridays, Urban Challenge Studio I will integrate these multiple expert areas to address contemporary urban phenomena from different perspectives. Studio I will begin with an excursion to the Helsinki Metropolitan Region (12th – 14th of September), where students will dive into the UCS theme "Transurbanism".
The second year USP students will continue to develop their expertise through elective courses, exchange studies or internships. Elective studies are chosen according to the students agreed personal study plans and can include e.g. USP-401 European Metropolitan Cultures (5cr) or USP-408 (Urban Challenge Studio 3). Read more about the Studio 3 here!
Teaching of the Master's Programme in Urban Studies & Planning will begin on the 10th of September. Most teaching will take place in Urbarium, Porthania (Yliopistonkatu 3), at the University of Helsinki. Studio work will take place in Otaniemi Campus, Aalto University. USP courses for 2018-2019 are now listed at WebOodi of the University of Helsinki.
USP office and teaching staff will take holidays during Summer but you may contact admissions@helsinki.fi or admissions@aalto.fi for your questions. We are happy to get back to you again in August!

In my kids meal at Sonic, I got this little guy. He's called Strawberry Tot. I don't know if he's supposed to be a strawberry flavored Tater Tot or a Tot made out strawberries. Probably the later.
More red has shown up in my life in the last two days than can be attributed to increased attention.
I'm going to have Mike hack the Twitter Tools plugin and see why it isn't working for me anymore. I suspect it's a scaling problem on Twitter's side, but we'll have to see. For now, here's another log list done by hand. Copy and Paste To The Rescue!
The transition is complete. I am a red girl now. There are only a few green things that I have to replace: glasses, wallet, etc. On the whole, however, we have completed transmission… errr… transition.
You know how you think, "My appointment is at 9:30 so I'll need to get into the shower at 8:30," and then think that your appointment is at 8:30, so you hop into the shower at 7 in the morning?
Instructables has an article showing you how to make a bicycle seat cover. Before Mike's bike was stolen, I used to ride it to work every day. It had a really soft and cushy gel seat cover. If it got wet, though, it was a soft and squishy bicycle seat, so I had to protect it from the rain during the day while I worked. This article tells you how to make a cover to protect your seat.
Fry sauce is rumored to be a Utah phenomenon. To be sure, I've never been able to get some in California, but that doesn't mean it's a Utah-property. My friend from Florida had never heard of fry sauce, but she also had never eaten a gyro, so I can't really trust her food knowledge.
Eating at Sonic at lunch, I remembered they're a national chain. They have fry sauce. Do they have fry sauce at the Sonics in Texas? I know they don't have it at the regular burger joints. They're all about the BBQ. No time for fry sauce.
This much we were told from the beginning: Evan Chan was murdered. A web of clues was spun through the datasphere, and the Cloudmakers meticulously pored over each and every puzzle and detail. The Cloudmakers brought together diverse skills ranging from cutting edge spectral analysis to a unique and unrivaled knowledge of historical evends and world literature . . . and a whole lot more. Two heads may be better than one, but seven thousand combined to form the ultimate crime fighting syndicate. In fact, what we did was so groundbreaking that an in-game character, Jeanine Salla, honored us by "writing" a paper about us.
Microsoft was behind the curtain for the Beast; Elan Lee and Sean Stewart were the lead designers. The game was a promotion for A.I. The film was Stanley Kubrick's unfinished project, and was directed by Steven Spielberg for DreamWorks. WarnerBros released the film in the US on June 29, 2001.
It has been almost six years since that movie came out and I'm still pissed. It's not the advertising's fault. It's the fact that the movie that they made was so substandard with a plot line full of holes. Kudos to Elan Lee and Sean Stewart for creating a better story than Kubrick and Spielberg put together.
Self Portrait: Rehab? No. No. No.
Amy Winehouse sets off every B.S. Detector in my brain, but I'm all for being able to let my hair do what it wants to do naturally. This hairstyle literally took me 30 seconds to create. Making my hair calm down and be a "nice" girl, takes 20-45 minutes. I don't believe Amy Winehouse's voice is her own, but I'm all about her hair!
Special Thanks to Matt and Hugh for reminding me that I needed to let my hair go. go. go.
Twitter / Matthew Reinbold – Winehouse is getting odd amount of press for retro act.
I know you're there. I see the stats growing every day. Every once and a while, someone will post a comment, but mostly, you come, you read, you leave and I have no idea whether you got anything interesting out of your visit here.
The Ward-O-Matic – Blurkers Rejoice!
I'm interested in you, so please stop blurking just for today and leave me a comment telling me a little about you.
Why do you visit my blog? For the writing and stories? The photography? For the links to weird stuff?
Who are you? What profession are you in? Are you a boy or a girl? What do you do for fun?
How did you find my blog? Link? Another blog? The Quotations Page? Starling Fitness? Doing a search on Google?
Just for today, leave me a comment and tell me just a little bit about yourself. I'm actually very curious about you because you come and read my words every day and I never know who you are.
Tomorrow I'm going back to Weight Watchers. I just can't do it on my own. Of course, that means that we took a drive down to Orem for fresh Krispy Kreme donuts. Mostly just for a nice drive in the Prius, but also for a donut. It's like I haven't learned anything.
Friday, I took my camera with me on my run and took pictures of everything that was red. There were far too many flowers, signs and cars to include them all, but you can see the collection here.
My favorite is this chair. I see it every day on my run and it represents the end for me. I'm almost home and soon I can walk and after that, I can stop and stretch.
I think I'm finished with the red thing for now. It feels like my color now and I can stop obsessing about it.
I have been working on this storyline and I have weekly entries to take us through August. If you haven't been reading Merriton, then it's probably best to start at the beginning.
If you are missing new episodes of your favorite television show, try reading Merriton this summer. You'll get a weekly dose of life twelve hours from San Francisco.
I was doing a writing exercise and it suggested some possible happy memories that I could write about. "How I Lost My First Tooth" was on the list.
NOT a happy memory, but an interesting story, nonetheless.
We were all in a tree. I have no memory of climbing the tree. Frankly, I'm surprised I was able to get up there, but up there I was and I had no idea how I was going to get down.
The others were swinging down using a cord attached to a branch. One, two, three, they all swung down, finally leaving me alone in the tree.
"It will hurt my hands." The cord was thin and I imagined it cutting into my hands.
"No, it's easy, I'll show you." He quickly climbed back up the tree and swung down again. He was a lot smaller than I was. I was a fat girl, you see. If I held that cord, it would cut my hands.
That made sense. My teeth wouldn't get shredded like the skin on my hands. I had seen a lady on Circus of the Stars hang by her teeth and twirl around and around. If she could do that, I could swing down with a rope in my mouth. I put the cord into my mouth and jumped.
When I woke up, all the kids were surrounding me. The dad was there too. Where did he come from? There was the taste of blood in my mouth. My mom never let me play over at their house again.
I never found my tooth.
I love handwriting fonts. This looked like it would be perfect for me, but I'm too cheap to try it out.
do stuff! » make shoes!
This is a list of the greatest local TV commercials. I wanted to watch them. I was hoping the Stack It Deep and Sell It Cheap Guy from D-Mart would be there.
None of these really deserved their own entry, so I just put them all here. Sometimes I just need to clean out the slush pile and start over.
Make sure you take a moment and wish your dad a Happy Father's Day for me, okay?
Happy Birthday, Michael! I love you, babe!
Mike has been trying to convince me to switch to Mac for months now. I finally acquiesced. I spent my iPhone money to do it, so I won't be camping out in front of the Apple store on June 28th. That's better for me, actually, because then I can find out what the iPhone is like before I plunk down the money on one. I'll just survive with the Treo 650 until then. Not too shabby if you ask me.
By the way, if you get a chance to play with a Mac, fire up Photo Booth and have a laugh. I took twenty pictures of myself, just cracking up after each shot. This one makes me look all Emo, though.
My official photo in the sidebar at the right of this page took me hours of work in Photoshop. A couple of minutes playing with Photo Booth, and I had a couple of better ones with no effort.

What's the etiquette for dealing with an ex's wedding?
As wedding season appears on the horizon, I already have a solid game plan.
Rachael Shearer
As wedding season appears on the horizon, I already have a solid game plan. iStock
I turn 26 next month which is still safely in the "mid-twenties" bracket but definitely verging on the "late-twenties" bracket, which is veering dangerously close to wedding season.
First it's the 21sts – footloose and fancy free, we celebrate becoming adults! Then just hang on for nine years until the next big birthday -- the 30ths.
But weddings are going to sneak in way before that. They're already beginning to appear on Facebook as friends of friends attend friends' weddings. While my closer circles of school and college friends have yet to beginning chiming bells, I can sense it is coming soon.
At dinner last weekend with a mix of guys and gals who have been friends for a solid silly decade, the topic inevitably came up again. Who will be first? And worse, who will be last?
One couple at the table have been together for nine years which seems to indicate an impending proposal, but they both vehemently denied any possibility of that happening in the immediate future. I'll believe that when I see it.
As for the rest of us there was a mix of singletons, new relationships and couples in the three-five years region. Everyone joked about their marriage prospects, no one brave enough to admit whatever reality they genuinely suspect awaits them, but when the self-deprecation and general mockery died down the suggestion of who will actually be the first to marry was, to my horror, my ex.
A silence swiftly fell across the table before I joked, "Well, that's one wedding I'll definitely be getting an invitation to," and everyone laughed generously so as to move on as quickly as humanly possible from the awkwardness of absolutely everything.
This "ex" and I have been off the cards for the guts of four years. He's been with his alleged future wife for three and a half years and I with my wonderful man for three years.
We have both moved on in a very real way and there is no shadow of a doubt as to the longevity and permanence of our final breakup. However, the thought of him marrying – and marrying soon – caused my stomach to lurch in a particularly gross fashion.
This "ex" and I have almost nothing in common save our mutual friends and shared memories. If we met now we would never enter each other's realms of interest (speaking mostly for myself here), and even now when we talk it is strained and weird and uncomfortable.
We had a long, complicated, messy relationship that was on and off repeatedly over the course of five years during which we managed to repeatedly hurt each other and a few other people on a fairly regular basis. We were young. It happens.
This "ex" and I will continue to live our own individual happy lives without each other and that's all peaches and cream, and I'm not about to go all Adele on this and write three albums about it, but everyone does have that one ex whose wedding – albeit hypothetical for now – brings out a nasty side of you that makes you wonder/hope that they'll screw it up at the alter with a Ross and Rachel moment and your suspicions that they never got over you will be validated! You may be thinking that this is selfish and cruel, and you're right.
However, this "ex," I recently discovered, has erased me from his life. If he were to flub the vows and say "I take thee Rachael" at the alter, this woman would have no idea who Rachael – me – is.
The man took it upon himself to not bother explaining who I am to his new girlfriend so as to avoid having to explain the complicated nature of his past – because what a bore that would be. Meanwhile, I had to explain who he is to my new boyfriend so as to give context to my multiple neurosis and crippling insecurities. The injustice!
As completely unhinged as it is to erase a partner from your history, I still can't help but find it hurtful. Needless to say, I'm also quite jealous at his capacity to cruise through his current relationship without having to take any baggage or explain himself in any way, shape or form.
Is this something that is exclusively available to men? Are women more inclined or even required to explain our past relationships to new partners because otherwise our behavioral patterns will seem completely, categorically insane?
In truth, the reason I winced at the announcement of his hypothetical engagement is because of this erasure. For someone who played such an important part in my life, to begin their new life with their new wife and have a great big gaping hole in their history where I thought I had been a significant human being is strange, unnerving and ultimately quite sad.
But do I have a right to feel that way, or is it his prerogative to decide what details of his past are to be included in his future? How do you cope with being erased?
As wedding season appears on the horizon, I already have a solid game plan. One black dress which I will wear to every wedding. One stock gift which I will buy for every bride.
Only attend weddings in my direct proximity – no week-long money binges in Marbella or Miami. Minimal effort, minimal stress.
Weddings are joyous occasions, but I have been warned by my older cousins to beware of the expense and the fact that no one will give a flying fig what you're wearing, so feel free to repeat wardrobe repertoire.
Weddings are joyous occasions, but I have to wonder about the mixed emotions that come with the wedding of an ex. Even when you have entirely moved on, even when he is no more than a part of your past, even when you are happier now than you ever were before – when you have been erased from someone else's life, how does your happiness for them fit in?
As hilarious as my joke may have been, I reckon that is one wedding that I will not be invited to.
But if I am, how to RSVP? What is the etiquette for attending your ex-boyfriend's wedding?

Q: Wildcards in getElementsByTagName (xml.dom.minidom) I'm trying to parse a ODF-document with xml.dom.minidom. I would like to get all elements that are text:p OR text:h. Seems like there would be a way to add a wildcard in the getElementsByTagName method. Or is it?
Is there a better way to parse a odf-document without uno?

A: As getElementsByTagName returns a DOMElement list you could just simply concatenate the two lists.
Alternatively XPath supports and/or operators, so you could use that. That would require using the elementTree or lxml modules instead.

A: root_element.getElementsByTagNameNS('text', '*')

maybe put ? instead of *
this worked for me, but the other way around
<325t4342:Key> fooo </.....>...

key = (root_element.getElementsByTagNameNS('*', "Key")[0]).firstChild.data.strip()

gives me "foo"

The high-income population in the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China – defined as population with an annual gross income of US$150,000+ – is expected to continue to grow strongly in the long term, expanding by 195% over 2014-2030. However, their share in the population aged 15+ will decline, reflecting the robust expansion and growing incomes of the BRIC middle class. This highlights the rising potential for affordable luxury goods and services in key emerging markets.

You can sit on it
By Emma Wilson, edited by Nina Kuttler
First things first: you can sit on it, in case that wasn't already clear. This is not the first time the art of picnicking has been invoked at the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof. In 2012, Adrian Lohmüller carpeted the exhibition space with turf, opened the windows, and invited visitors to bring along their blankets for an indoor/outdoor picnic. Now, again, a picnic blanket is laid across the space, and you're invited to sit - but this time we won't open the windows.
Each week, different artists are invited to play sessions within the stage-like replica of an Eton Fives court by Fion Pellacini, making up the Five in Fives series set amongst the other permanent works of Hi Ventilation. The blanket belongs to this week's contribution from hhintersection, an art mediation project started this year by students of HFBK, Hamburg.
A Warning to the Bunnies
Over the summer, participants created a garden to host events in, repurposing the tarmacked, former playground of an old school building now converted into studios by the arts university. The space was mostly empty, with only rubbish containers and a seldom used brick oven and fire pit. Poetry readings, performances, bonfires, and discussion groups made up the events schedule amongst the newly cultivated patches of earth.
The plants grew along the sunny border to the KS Polonia athletics ground and between the brick letters of a raised bed spelling out FLOWER POWER. In one spot, a few paving slabs were removed and the gaps filled with fresh earth and seeds - the perfect place for a gnome to recline.
"We are not gardeners" - a humble qualifier as shovels hit earth. There was mixed success, to be honest, with some plants taking to the gravelly soil better than others. Along the row of sunflowers, a few grew tall and even flowered - while others inexplicably remained short, headless stumps. And some - the fallen heroes - didn't even survive the first onslaught by the bunnies before hastily erected fences could protect them.
Do you remember the first time you grew a bean in a jar? So many children must have done this science project, and watched the first root worm its way out into the cotton wool soil. The satisfaction is immense. But just as strong is the disappointment when you finally transfer it into the ground outside and the damned thing wilts and dies.
Anything which grows in the garden now can be claimed as success. A weed is only a weed if you don't want it.
I'm ready, turn it on
Because of the size of the space watering has to be done in pairs, so each day weather reports and schedules are shared to see what needs to be done. The rolled up hose has to be dragged across the tarmac to the tap and unfurled between trees, benches, and other obstacles to reach the plants. During such a dry summer it really takes time to soak the ground, so that day's watering duo are able to enjoy a leisurely catch up with each other over the sound of running water.
Now, as the garden takes its winter hiatus, hhintersection.net provides an online stage immune to seasonal change. But, just for this week, so too does the Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof and Pellacini's Eton Fives court. The garden is represented with works by those who were involved in its physical preparation and care, displayed on a collectively made picnic blanket used to soften the ground and gather audience members during outdoor events.
Do You Want to Wind or Guide?
Within this exhibition, the space the garden occupies is a corner of the world belonging to the tiny elite - or rather, a replica of it. The surfaces are a reproduction of the alcove created by two buttresses of the Eton College chapel, making a court in which to play Eton Fives. Never heard of it? Shame on you. The game is somewhat similar to squash, apparently, and played in doubles by hitting a hard ball against the angled walls with a gloved hand. A number of courts have been built across the world, mostly in private institutions, but you can now also play at a public sports centre in northwest London.
Eton College survives to the present day despite its basis on an antiquated system. The practice of skimming off society's economic upper layer for separate education feels as if should belong to a bygone age. The spaces of the court and the garden seem to represent totally opposing things - one engaged in social opening, and the other in closing it down. But the actual game Eton Fives is accessible at a fundamental level; whacking a ball against a wall is familiar to so many childhood distractions, regardless of whether the wall in question was built in 1441 by order of the King or belonged to the side of your parent's garage. By filling the space with a game, this particular little corner of exclusivity is inadvertently opened for everyone.
This exhibition invites further misuses with paintings that ruin the angle of the walls, distracting projections, sculptures to trip up players, and visitors who simply get in the way of the ball. A transformation has occurred, now more stage than court, and we sit looking out onto the rest of the space where a similar shift has happened here too.
Both the chapel buttresses and gallery walls hark back to the time of a global ruling class, sprawling out from transit points just like this one. Before being repurposed in 1999 and becoming what it is today, this hall originally sheltered first and second class passengers as they waited for their trains out of Hamburg. In use from 1897, a photograph of the hall at that time on display in the bar shows the tables were decorated with almost comically oversized tropical plants. Placed in the centre of each table, perhaps to provide a buffer against undesirable fellow travellers, are specimens collected on previous trips and brought back to encourage travel to far away lands. You, sir, may go anywhere you please.
There's a Klink in the Hose
Eton is an extremely overt example of exclusion. The walls around it are thick: the fees are high, the gender is singular, and the traditions are unrecognisable to the contemporary masses. This behaviour is old and we allow it. However, the Eton Fives court serves as a clear reminder that apparently infallible structures can be shaken by the introduction of a small cork ball and some new rules of play.
It might not be Eton, but the HFBK comes with its own accessibility issues, as does the exhibition space. A picnic blanket is made to be sat on, but in the open exposure of the gallery your confidence in that fact could be unsettled. It makes sense that hhintersection begins with the alteration of a space at home, to allow ideas to exist that might not usually find the room, to let them meet and interact. The project is at its beginning point, and as with the varying survival rates of the plants, some ideas will be more durable than others.
A strange loop has happened. The hall is filled with flowers once more and we're waiting amongst them; picnicking, skating, reading. In many moments of this exhibition we are again encouraged to look beyond Europe, but this time in a different fashion, this time wondering if perhaps somewhere else we'll find the little ball that changes the function of our existing space.

MANITOU SPRINGS — A packed house, a renewed rivalry and control of the Class 3A Tri-Peaks League. It was just another chapter in book of Manitou Springs versus St. Mary's.
Both teams entered Tuesday night's showdown unbeaten in league play, but it was only the Mustangs (17-0 overall, 8-0 Tri-Peaks League) who would leave that mark intact.
Manitou topped St. Mary's 77-53, cementing their place as the team to beat in the Colorado Springs and possibly all of 3A.
"We were No. 1 in preseason voting and when we dropped, it was when St. Mary's got beat by 15 against Pagosa," Manitou coach Jon Asp said. "We were up 30 at one point. We'll see if this statement means anything."
There were two key components behind the Mustangs impressive victory. They put immense pressure on the Pirates (15-2, 8-1) defensively and they hit them with a barrage of 3-pointers on the offensive end.
And when Manitou has a guard like Shelby Megyeri on their roster, they'll always have a fighting chance. It seemed like the junior couldn't miss as she buried five 3-pointers and scored a game-high 31 points.
Less than two weeks ago, she set the career scoring record for Manitou, breaking Amelia Shofield's mark of 1,025.
In what hopes to be a special season for the Mustangs, Megyeri has been nothing short of spectacular.
"It's been a lot of hard work and I have to thank my teammates too," Megeyri said. "They always push me to play better. We're such a good team, I wouldn't want to play with anyone else."
Even as solid as Megeryi's numbers were, the dominating win was anything but a one-woman show. Gala Jensen added 13 points and the Mustangs got 3-pointers from four different players on the roster. Those four player all also scored in double digits.
"We've been building each game, getting better and better each game," Asp said. "I told the girls that we play our best basketball against the best competition."
This is only the second loss for the Pirates, both which have come to CHSAANow.com's No. 1 and No. 2 teams in 3A.
But in order to come away with a league championship, the Pirates will need the Mustangs to drop two games, an unlikely scenario given that they have won by less than 10 points three times this season.
But the Pirates will power on. They got 11 points from senior Maggie Hartman, who has been a reliable and steady hand for St. Mary's coach Mike Burkett all season.
"We have some things we need to correct," he said. "We can do things better in the future and that's what we're going to try and work at."
As for the Mustangs, they know can still make improvements with the regular season ending in a week. But if Tuesday night is any indication, Manitou is going to be a draw in the 3A state tournament.
"We needed a little bit of time (to come together)," Asp said. "We had a slow start to our season. It takes us some time to get rolling, but I think we're right where we want to be."


March 14, 2017 – The Songwriters Hall of Fame announced today that Pitbull will be the first-ever recipient of the Global Ambassador Award at the 48th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner slated for Thursday, June 15th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Additional special award honorees will be announced soon.
The Songwriters Hall of Fame's Global Ambassador Award was created to celebrate a songwriter-artist whose music has true worldwide appeal, crossing genre, cultural and national boundaries. Pitbull will be the inaugural recipient of the award, which will not be presented on an annual basis, but only when merited.
"Pitbull's success, creativity, tireless musical collaboration and his wide-ranging social activism make him the ideal songwriter-performer to initiate the SHOF Global Ambassador Award," said SHOF co-chairs Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff and President/CEO Linda Moran.
From Mr. 305 to Mr. Worldwide, Armando Christian Perez, aka Pitbull, rose from the streets of Miami to exemplify the American Dream and achieve international success. His relentless work ethic transformed him into a Grammy®-winning global superstar and business entrepreneur. Along the way, he's has been the subject and host of prestigious cable and network specials. His music has appeared in Men In Black III and The Penguins of Madagascar, and he even had a starring voiceover role in the animated 3D movie Epic. Landing No. 1 hits in over 15 countries, 9 billion YouTube/VEVO views, 70 million single sales and 6 million album sales, Pitbull does not stop. Making global music, Pitbull flaunts a style that's indisputably his own. Releasing his full-length debut, M.I.A.M.I in 2004, followed by the success of 2006's El Mariel and 2007's The Boatlift. In tribute to his father, he delivered his first Spanish-language album, Armando, in 2010. That same year he was featured in the the Haiti benefit song "Somos El Mundo", a Spanish version of "We Are the World", that included a huge group of Latin artists led by Emilio and Gloria Estefan. He grinded it out on the road and touched down everywhere from the Far East and South America to Europe and all across the U.S. His success continued as he went on to release additional chart-topping platinum hits, including "Timber" [featuring Ke$ha], "Fireball" [featuring John Ryan] and more. Pitbull has also collaborated with other superstars including Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Lil Jon, Janet Jackson, Usher, Pharrell Williams, T-Pain, Ne-Yo and others. In 2014 his song "We Are One (Ole Ola)" was the official theme of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Pitbull will release his 10th full-length album, Climate Change, this Friday March 17.
Pitbull also continues to forge a presence in the business world. Among his many projects, his Honey I'm Home production company has partnered with Endemol Shine North America for three New Year's Eve Revolution live TV shows on FOX, and Pitbull's Globalization (Ch. 4) on Sirius XM features some of the most prominent DJs from around the world.
Honored by his accolades and awards, Pitbull is especially proud that he has received a key to the city of his beloved Miami, has a wax figure on display at Madame Tussaud's Orlando, and received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Pitbull gives back to his community through various charities including SLAM!, Save The Music Foundation, World Vision, City of Hope, and more. On "Freedom," another track on Climate Change, he sums everything up: "Went from a poor kid to a well-known all-around-the-globe world-class citizen, man I paid all my dues and earned my stripes took all the wrong in my life and I made it right." That's the dream, and Pitbull's showing everybody it's possible. Dale!
2017 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees include musical titans Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Berry Gordy, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Robert Lamm & James Pankow p/k/a "Chicago," Max Martin, and Shawn "JAY Z" Carter.
The Songwriters Hall of Fame celebrates songwriters, educates the public with regard to their achievements, and produces a spectrum of professional programs devoted to the development of new songwriting talent through workshops, showcases and scholarships. To qualify for induction into the SHOF, a songwriter must be a published writer for a minimum of 20 years. Out of the tens of thousands of songwriters of our era, there are approximately 400 inductees who make up the impressive roster enshrined in the Hall of Fame. The list includes Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier & Brian Holland, Smokey Robinson, Albert Hammond, Desmond Child, Paul Williams, Hal David & Burt Bacharach, John Fogerty, Bob Dylan, Isaac Hayes & David Porter, Carole King, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora, Elton John & Bernie Taupin, Brian Wilson, James Taylor, Don Schlitz, Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins, Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Webb, Van Morrison, Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Diane Warren, Paul Anka, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Bill Withers, Neil Diamond, Steven Tyler & Joe Perry, Leonard Cohen, Ray Davies, Donovan, Cyndi Lauper, Mick Jones & Lou Gramm, Chip Taylor, Elvis Costello, Marvin Gaye, Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards and Tom Petty among many others.


New Address is a video Chris uploaded on 27 September 2010. In it, Chris addresses Lars to tell him that he has lost Jackie, who has recently become Chris's girlfriend. He then proceeds to boast about how he will satisfy Jackie's every desire, in an effort to make Lars jealous. The video concludes with Chris warning Lars that if he tries to mess with Jackie, he will have to deal with Chris.
This is the third video in as many days where Chris has worn the same shirt. The video is also a fine example of Chris's "smug voice", in which Chris attempts to lower his voice, stretching out certain vowels in the process.
Dude, I will throw you and knock you out as swiftly and easily as I threw that JetSki. Yeah!!!
Now she's with a real man. I will satisfy her needs, and her desires.
Hello, Lars. I got your email, and I gotta tell you, you're a dang loser for hiding behind a picture of a black man. A dang photograph. Anyway, it's over! It's over! You've lost! You're history! You're kaput! You could've-you had your chance with Jackie but you gonna- YOU LOST, BUDDY, YOU LOST! [Holds up toy boat, jabbing it at the camera] You just kept concentrating on your daaaayng boats all day and all night, ignoring HER needs, and her desires.
You mess with me and her, you're, you're gonna deal with me definitely. Down to the last sweat, or breath.

Tranexamic Acid (TXA) is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine. It inhibits fibrinolysis, the breaking down of blood clots, which can worsen bleeding in situations such as major trauma.
The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded a large international study (the CRASH-2 trial, published in the Lancet in June 2010) which showed that, if used within three hours after trauma, TXA can reduce the risk of death from bleeding by as much as 30 per cent. The drug was quickly moved into routine practice by trauma teams in the military but the challenge has been how best to get this potentially effective intervention into practice in the NHS where it is currently seldom used. Getting the drug to all appropriate trauma patients could save around 400 lives per year in the UK.
The South West Ambulance Service worked with a team from PenCLAHRC and emergency physicians from acute hospitals across the South West to investigate the feasibility of using TXA for civilian trauma. A review of the evidence suggested high levels of effectiveness and very low risk of side-effects. It was concluded that the most effective method would involve the drug being given by paramedics using a protocol agreed with the Emergency Departments. TXA is extremely cheap – an adult requires two 500mg ampoules of TXA at a cost of £1.55 for each ampoule. In the South West it is estimated that the cost in year one would be just £2,560, with the recurrent cost from year two and beyond equating to £3,587 a year with the potential to save many lives and reduce the burden of trauma related disability.
Following liaison with emergency departments at all acute hospital trusts in the South West, TXA will be introduced to ambulance crews in the South West from 1st December 2011 with an anticipated roll-out period of three months. All emergency ambulances across Devon, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, Somerset and Dorset will carry the life-saving medicine. It is hoped that TXA will be introduced to other UK ambulance Trusts during 2012.

How Do You Handle Projects With Predetermined End-dates (Timeboxing)? In a perfect world, your project schedule and completion dates would be derived based on the amount of work to be done and the number of resources available. As you know, that is not always the case. Sometimes when the project is assigned, it already has a targeted end date. For instance, the end-date may be determined by a government regulation, a scheduled event or to coincide with another company initiative. This situation is referred to as a "timebox", meaning you have a fixed amount of time to get the work done and the end-date is "boxed" in. There is nothing wrong with having a fixed end-date. It can give everyone on the team a sense of urgency and focus. There may be a problem, however, if the project manager and team do not think they can get the work done
Communication communications communications deliverables deliverables
by the deadline. In that case, the project manager needs to raise this as a risk. Potential risk plan actions include:
ICPM improvement improvement information
Leadership Management Assigning more resources to the project. Too many resources may have diminished value but this is usually the first place to start.
organizational organizations
Having the team work overtime, with the understanding that overtime itself has a diminishing return, and that long-term overtime can actually have a negative effect.
performance pmi pmo pmp productivity
Working with the stakeholders to scale back the scope. This may include removing entire deliverables or functionality from required deliverables.
Determining whether some required deliverables and features can be delivered later than the due date. For example, a 90% solution may be viable at the due date, with the additional work completed soon after.
Important - Estimate the Amount of Schedule Risk
requirements responsibility
Even if your manager or sponsor has given you a fixed end-date, it is important to carefully build the schedule first
understanding understanding
as if you did not have the fixed end-date. If you do this first, it will give you a sense for how realistic it is to hit the fixed date. For example, let's say you have a project that has to be completed in nine months. If you first create a "normal" schedule that shows the project will be complete in 9 ½ months, it would not be too much of a stretch to think you could complete the work in nine months. However, if you create a "normal" schedule and it shows the end date at 13 months, you will understand the difficulty and the risk associated with trying to get all of the work completed in the nine-month timebox. This does not mean that you will not have the nine month deadline. However, it gives you more information to have a fact-based discussion on the project risks and options that are available to you.

Her Most Adult Face
Enjoy this excerpt from Future Perfect Tense by Sarah Harris Wallman (pictured).
On New Year's Eve, the Roses threw a party. Patsy's social efforts had borne fruit: at least forty people would be in attendance, sipping their ginger ale, nibbling their mushroom pinwheels, admiring the Japanese screen that cut off the view of the laundry room. There would be champagne, though it was unclear whether the correct amount had been purchased, given that a number of the guests were church friends whose drinking habits were uncertain.
Children were not invited, and Brenda's involvement was limited to a quick parade in her new nightgown, aloft in her father's arms like another platter of cubed cheese. Despite his warm smile, when she reached to touch a stranger's shoulder he swiveled to prevent the contact.
As happened so often when she put her head on her father's shoulder, Brenda felt the day his heart, prickly with accumulations, would stop moving his blood.
The atmosphere was surprisingly merry: the church crowd had decided to drink after all. This being the last night of the year, they were welcome to sully it; a fresh set of days was on its way. From her darkened bedroom, Brenda could hear laughter that was more hearty and unrestrained than the usual chortling of adults. Possibility crackled in the air. She got out of bed and crossed the hall to the guest bedroom where the coats were stacked on the bed. A smell of snow-flecked wool and other people's homes rose from the pile as she dove in and pulled sleeve after sleeve from the mass, squeezing them in her fists and closing her eyes to better receive the signal. By now she had seen the still-uninvented internet, the way people would fall into it, filling their heads with conspiracy theories and personable cats and near-motionless shopping sprees. Everyone's future flowed into it like water into a cave.
Then: something different. Gripping a damp wool elbow, she was struck with a vision as stark and unyielding as a cement wall. Power surged through her fingertips, enough to nearly short-circuit her heart, but after the initial jolt, the current was invigorating. Someone at her parents' party was going to do a thing so large it did not fit in Brenda's vision.
Sleep was now beyond consideration; Brenda lay on her belly on the landing, peering through the balusters at the head tops circulating below. A tray of canapés went by, their cross-sectioned olives staring up at her like flattened eyeballs. Two men who likely did not know how bald they were when viewed from above delivered the decorative crackers into their heads and nodded approval. Patsy lifted her nose in pride and glided off to present her tray to still more glamorous guests.
Until recently, Brenda had assumed that all people received their own kinds of signals. Otherwise, how did her mother know when to pull chicken from the frying pan? How did her father know when the batter would bunt or when he would be intentionally walked? How else did the children in her first grade class know the words to the pledge of allegiance, when Brenda always just put a hand on the center of her chest and whispered pledge pledge pledge? As she grew older, she began to realize that these signals were more uniform than she had first suspected. At times, she was the only one receiving a different set of imperatives. Other children knew whose turn it was to push the merry-go-round and who was supposed to be invited to birthday parties. What she knew was that someone downstairs was a Great Man. A man whose future was more imposing than any she'd ever glimpsed. The dog-and-pony show with the nightgown had been her parents' way of drawing a clear line between those who would stay awake and she who would not, but that would have to be disregarded. Her mother obeyed whatever it was in white bread that told her to trim its crusts. Brenda had to seek out what she had felt in that coat. She lowered herself from stair to stair as if searching out a new seat.
The crucial thing was to avoid her parents, the only adults who knew for certain that she did not belong in the room, the only ones with the power to speak harshly or spank. At first she considered shuffling, rubbing her eyes, claiming to have had a bad dream, but realized this would result in a speedy delivery to her parents' arms. Confidence was the strategy. She donned her most adult face, that is to say, the one that brooked no objection, that revealed no desire. Adults did not stare cravenly at candy store windows.
And so Brenda began to move through the party methodically placing her hands on people's backsides. Most people carried their future especially strongly there. A few people started and whirled around to see who had done it, and at these she gave a stare so impassive that they were the ones to pardon themselves. In this manner she learned that Mrs. Coakley would one day win a medium-sized lottery pay-off, spend it all on a horse named Ginger Beast, and end up selling him when she could no longer pay the veterinary bills. She would buy a lot more lottery tickets.

I am being a bad girl and bribing myself with a coffee this morning – trying quit while I am still sick. Being extra cautious as Cindy's cold lasted 3 weeks and ended up to the point where she had to start doctors visits and medication in order to kick it – I do not want to go that far.
I will leave you with a brief update from Forrest regarding the National Championship Regatta story & results and their delay. I know he meant for it to go to press only but I found it amusing and wanted to share it with you. It has been interesting to hear different peoples versions of what they did during the power and water outage, or how it affected them.
An ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT power outage in San Pedro that began early Sunday Morning and lasted until Monday afternoon prevented us from collecting all the information we needed from various sources to promptly provide you with what you may need to tell the story of the regatta. I lost a day and a half. I am just getting it all in now and should have something decent for you very shortly.
2011 Belize Optimist Class National Championship Regatta For sailors age 8 – 14.
Regatta Location: Caribbean Villas Hotel, San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize.
Qualifying Races 38 Children from around Belize were selected by their trainers and invited to sail in the National Championship Regatta . Each race consisted of two laps around a regulation Olympic triangular course.
With only 19 boats available, the 38 divided up into two groups and the finals consisted of 5 races.
The spreadsheet PDF below shows how each skipper finished in all five races. The worst finish for each skipper is tossed out, so only his or her best 4 races count. Any examination of the Finals spreadsheet will tell a story of determination and endurance. After surviving a qualifier, the sailors dueled one another for 5 more races. They sailed under grey skies, in chop, and in the face of gusting, variable, winds that became very strong for the last two races. Some skippers who placed well in the early races encountered fatigue, faced difficulty concentrating in the late going, and lost their edge.
Heart is what all of these sailors showed the crowd, and at the end of the day, 4 of them showed endurance as well as especially fine seamanship and sailing skills: Although he finished out of the trophy places, Sea Scout Joshua Potts, skippering boat 25, missed 3rd place by only 1 point, while outdistancing his nearest competitor for 4th by a full 11 points. It was another Sea Scout, Joshua McKenzie, in boat 25, who edged Josh Potts out to win the 3rd place trophy. Only 4 points separated Joshua McKenzie from the Second Place finisher, San Pedro Permit team leader David Puc in boat 3, Palo Alto.
The Belize National Champion The Belize Optimist Class 2011 National Champion sailed to a very quiet and very efficient racing-clinic victory. His final score was 2 points less than perfect, and that is no mean feat. His coaches say, "Hmmm…. He was our dark horse." So, Belize, meet your National Champion: Alexander Rhaburn, age 11, of Holy Cross Anglican School, San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye. Alexander sailed to victory in boat 23 sponsored by San Pedro Weather .com. In his best 4 races he took a very convincing 3 Firsts and a Third.
A photo of Alexander and one of him after winning the last race below. For visuals, we have relied on spectators to post their photos and videos on the San Pedro Sailing Club Facebook page. As of 8:45 am, Tuesday, Nov. 15, the photos that appear on that page are those posted by Amanda Syme and by professional photographer Jose Luis Zapata (610-4267). Courtesy would require that you ask Luis' permission to use his. Rebecca Coutant of San Pedro Scoop gave permission the photo of the fleet below. For 69 more photos, go to amateur photographer Peter Jones' facebook page, who gave me permission to use them, knowing that I would release them to the press.
Thanks Maureen, feeling a bit better but still taking it easy. tacoboy making sure I am getting enough rest.
I hope you are feeling better Laurie! It may be a good idea to get to the doc if you aren't! Wishing you speedy recovery!
