The Gurjar agitation for reservation has entered its sixth day, with protestors continuing to block railway tracks and roads. Rajasthan Government passed 5% reservation for Gurjar community.
The Rajasthan government today passed the bill in the assembly session on the Gurjar community for 5% combined reservation in government facilities. On the other hand Gurjar's demand for an additional 5% as well as on 10% reservation for economically weaker sections.
The Gurjar agitation for reservation has entered its sixth day, with protestors continuing to block railway tracks and roads. Amid the protests, the Rajasthan government conducted meetings throughout Tuesday at the state secretariat to discuss the quota issue with ministers and other Congress leaders.
Gujjar agitation leader Kirori Bainsla and his supporters began their indefinite sit-in on railway tracks in Malarna Dungar of Sawai Madhopur on last Friday evening.
At present, the Gujjar community in Rajasthan have 1% reservation under the Most Backward Classes (MBC) within the 50% legal limit. The demand for separate five per cent reservation for the Gujjars was struck down by the Rajasthan High Court in 2017. The state government has moved the Supreme Court against the Rajasthan HC order.
Gujjars have argued that the 10% reservation announced by the Centre also exceeds the 50% reservation limit.


Left ventricular assist device therapy: family caregivers' stress, perceived burden and quality of life.
Background: Individuals implanted with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) as bridge to transplant or as destination therapy expect to be discharged home. Responsibility for providing care to those patients has fallen almost exclusively to family caregivers. Yet there is a paucity of research on the experience of family caregivers of LVAD patients. This study assessed the burden and quality of life (QOL) of caregivers over a period of up to 6 months. The influence of stress and select demographic variables on those outcomes was also evaluated. Methods: Subjects recruited from a single LVAD center in the upper Midwest were required to be > 18 years old, the identified primary caregiver of an LVAD patient, and able to read and write English. Each was asked to complete a questionnaire at baseline and again at 2, 6, 14 and 22 weeks after the baseline measure. Measures included demographics, the Caregiver Distress Scale, the Caregiver Involvement Instrument, the Caregiver Burden Assessment, the Cantril Ladder scale, the CES-D, and the SF-12. Results: A total of 46 subjects provided data for analysis. The average caregiver was a 58 year old Caucasian female spouse of a bridge-to-transplant patient with a HeartMate II living with the patient and one other adult with an average income of $40,000-$59,999. Stress was mildly to moderately elevated over the entire period. Baseline burden was measured at levels that warranted intervention in up to 41% of participants, but decreased steadily over time (p=.04). Sixty to eighty-five percent of subjects reported below average quality of life that was largely static across the study. Stress was negatively correlated with QOL. (p=.004) Conclusions: Interventions to reduce stress are most likely to improve caregiver quality of life.


A while ago, I pointed out one of the few online flash games that grabbed my attention, which was no doubt due to it's bright colours and crazy ideas.
I've found another one, and this redeems me as it is much more sensible: You have to control the flow of traffic. It sounds kinda dull, but it's really quite fun – the game is called I Love Traffic, after all. The cars zoom past and you're in control of one or more traffic lights. The only goal is to get the required number of cars through the traffic light checkpoint without causing an accident.
Some of the levels are easy, some are difficult, and some I've found are really just a matter of opening all the lights up to green and hoping for the best.
There are twenty levels and I'm stuck on the last one.
Thanks for that – it wasted twenty minutes or so!
Does anyone else get more enjoyment than to cause an accident with this game after to have successed to the next level ? At level 11, I managed to have a 5 car pile-up with a police car, a two trailier semi, a semi-trailer and a school bus with a car for good measure. I have no idea what make the car was other than since it did not blow up after the rear-end collision, it could not have been a Ford Pinto !
I finished the game, but the last level was easy-ish. I just left all the lights green, and the first accident occurred just after I had finished the level.

LCU teams start two-game home stand against ENMU
The Lubbock Christian University women's basketball team has won three of the past six renditions of the Division II NCAA Tournament, usually relying on an experienced cast of seniors and juniors who had proven their mettle in conference and postseason play.
Lacking a returning starter for the first time in Steve Gomez's two decades as head coach, the Lady Chaps have been unranked nearly the entire season, though they're still competitive at 11-5 and 6-2 in the Lone Star Conference.
"I need to help us find a steadiness that we've sort of missed this year," Gomez said Wednesday, "because we've played really good. We've had some really high-quality efforts, and then we've had some like, 'Man, what in the world's going on out there?' "
LCU has two home dates this week, women's/men's doubleheaders against Eastern New Mexico at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Rip Griffin Center and against Western New Mexico at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday.
The Lady Chaps are coming off a 53-51 loss Saturday at No. 21 Angelo State, a game decided on a shot as time ran out. They'd won four in a row before that, starting with a conquest of then-No. 15 Montana State Billings on Dec. 17 in Las Vegas. After a 12-day break around Christmas, LCU walloped Cameron 85-34, then added wins against Midwestern State and the University of Texas of the Permian Basin.
Gomez said in the rout of Cameron "we played as good as we've played all year."
"Since then, we've had really good spots," he said, "but we've yet to really sink in to four quality quarters. We just have some droughts here and there, either on the offensive end or the defensive end, so I just need to help us to find consistency."
In the 16-team Lone Star Conference, Angelo State (13-2) is showing the way in the West Division with an 8-1 conference record and a 5-0 division record. No. 20 West Texas A&M (13-3) and LCU are next behind the Rambelles, both at 6-2 in conference and 3-1 in the division.
Sophomore forward Grace Foster continues to lead the Lady Chaps with averages of 15.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Next after her are junior guards Audrey Robertson (12.1 ppg), Maci Maddox (10.8 ppg) and Shaylee Stovall (7.8 ppg). Robertson, Maddox and Stovall all have gone from limited roles on senior-laden teams to full-time starters this season.
"Those juniors have had to carry a big load," Gomez said. "In a way, that's great and I appreciate them for stepping into that. At the same time, we still have to be a good team where everybody contributes, where we're not relying on two or three.
"So to get that steadiness of nine, 10, 11 players that they bring it and are steady, that's still what we're really hunting, to when we know, 'OK, now we're on a consistent plane of performance.' "
THURSDAY'S AREA SCHEDULE
Eastern New Mexico (7-6, 4-4) at Lubbock Christian University (11-5, 6-2), 5:30 p.m.
South Plains College (6-7, 0-0) at Howard College (10-7, 1-1), 5:30 p.m.

Engeman's In The Heights Excites With Musical Diversity
By Janee Law
The John W. Engeman Theater brings summer time to Northport with "In The Heights," an energetic production that brings audience members to the vibrant community in New York's Washington Heights.
Before he created the Broadway hit "Hamilton," Lin-Manuel Miranda wowed audiences with "In The Heights," his first musical that went on to win a Tony Award for "Best Musical."
Engeman's adaptation of the production brings romance, comedy and a diverse musical performance that excited the crowd at the Main Street theater last weekend.
The production is directed by Paul Stancato and choreographed by Sandalio Alvarez, with musical direction by Alec Bart, and Dana Iannuzzi as associate director.
Through rap, hip-hop, reggaeton and merengue, the music and energetic dance sequences take audiences on a journey of a dream filled community that faces the ultimate struggle of whether or not to carry the traditions of the past or leave it behind.
Audience members Gail and Don Conrad said after Saturday's show that the "music was excellent" and the "dancers were fabulous."
They added that their favorite character was Usnavi (Spiro Marcos), who had members of the audience bobbing their heads during his rhythmic rap sequences.
For other audience members like Lidia Rodriguez, the cast made her want to join the fun.
"I wish I could dance like that," she said. "I love it and it was very touching. They talked about everything: life, death, hope, and home. It was a great show."
With spirited numbers like "96,000," "The Club" and "Carnaval del Barrio," the production entertains from start to finish and tugs at the heartstrings with performances like "Breathe" and "Alabanza."
With that, the story offers a love story that audiences can connect with, whether it's Usnavi (Spiro Marcos) and his pursuit of Vanessa (Chiara Trentalange), or childhood friends Benny (Josh Marin) and Nina (Cherry Torres) whose relationship turns romantic with age.
Torres said the relationship between Benny and Nina is natural and one that many can relate to.
"Seeing someone that you grew up with your entire life and then all of a sudden seeing them in a different way is such a beautiful and natural progression that these characters have," she said, adding that working opposite Marin is a pleasure.
Torres said she saw herself playing the character of Nina when the original production hit Broadway.
"I've wanted to play it for years because I had so many similarities with her," she said, adding that when she landed the role, she was in tears. "It means the world to me to have gotten this part. I'm just honored to be able to get on the stage and play her every time."

Engeman Theater soars to new heights in latest production
By Rita J. Egan
It may be chilly outside, but things are heating up inside the John W. Engeman Theater. The Northport venue debuted its production of "In the Heights" on March 15, and with a talented cast and the energetic sounds of salsa, reggaeton, merengue and hip hop, audience members are guaranteed a fun, hot night on the town.
Before he shared the story of Alexander Hamilton through rap and song in "Hamilton," Lin-Manuel Miranda created this spirited musical, which ran from 2008 to 2011 on Broadway and won four Tony Awards.
A love letter to Latinos who live in Manhattan's Washington Heights, the story takes place during July Fourth weekend on one city block and centers around bodega owner Usnavi and his neighbors. While the play includes a good deal of reality like money issues, the death of loved ones and the sacrifices one must make for a better life, its main themes are about love and hope, and most important of all, having patience and faith.
With book by Quiara Alegria Hudes and music and lyrics by Miranda, through dialogue and song "In the Heights" reveals the economic struggles of Usnavi and his fellow business owners, car service proprietors Kevin and Camila Rosario and beauty salon owner Daniela.
The musical throws in romance as Usnavi pines away for the beautiful Vanessa, who works at the beauty salon, and the Rosarios' daughter Nina and their employee Benny engage in a forbidden romance. As the audience gets a peek into the heartache of Usnavi losing his parents at an early age, Vanessa yearning to move downtown, the bright Nina losing her college scholarship and the love felt for the neighborhood's adopted grandmother, Claudia, one can't help but feel a part of this close-knit community.
Spiro Marcos as Usnavi does a fine job filling big shoes (the role was originally played by Miranda on Broadway). The actor skillfully uses rap during most of his numbers to tell the story. Marcos is in touch with Usnavi's softer side, making it impossible not to root for him as he longs for Vanessa and dreams of going back to the Dominican Republic, his birthplace, while trying to keep the bodega afloat.
Josh Marin is charming as Benny, and Cherry Torres is sweet and lovely as Nina. The two have a good amount of onstage chemistry during their romantic scenes, which is front and center during the song "Sunrise" where they sing beautifully together. Chiara Trentalange balances a bit of sass and attitude with a touch of softness to deliver a Vanessa who may be determined to put her neighborhood behind her, but audience members can't help but like her, too.
Tami Dahbura is endearing as Abuela Claudia, while Paul Aguirre and Shadia Fairuz are perfect together as Kevin and Camila. Schehereazade Quiroga is perfect as the spunky Daniela and delivers comedic lines perfectly. Iliana Garcia is refreshing as naïve hairdresser Carla, and Vincent Ortega is delightful as the Piragua Guy, especially during his number "Piragua" and its reprise. Nick Martinez, as Usnavi's young cousin Sonny, and Danny Lopez as Graffiti Pete, do a nice job adding some comic relief throughout the production.
The dancers are also among the stars in the show. Skillfully choreographed by Sandalio Alvarez, they energetically and masterfully transfer from salsa, merengue, reggaeton and hip hop dance steps.
The music in the production is top notch and is a mix of dance tunes that will have audience members wanting to dance in the aisles and emotional ballads for which some may need tissues. The band, led by conductor Alec Bart, does a superb job flawlessly moving from one musical genre to another, and the singers also do an excellent job.
During the first act, Torres expertly uses her vocal talents to perform an emotion-evoking version of "Breathe." It is during this number audience members discover her time at Stanford University didn't work out for her, and she now feels lost not knowing what to do with her life.
Aguirre's number "Inútil" is just as heartbreaking as his character feels useless after discovering his daughter didn't come to him to help her pay for school. Fairuz also displays strong vocals during the song "Siempre."
Trentalange sings lead on the upbeat song "It Won't Be Long Now" with Marcos and Martinez. The actress has fun with the song and her vocals are great.
Dahbura moves around convincingly like a frail grandmother, and then surprises audience members with her emotional vocals during "Paciencia y Fe." Abuela Claudia remembers her youth in Cuba and arriving in the United States, during the song. Her mother would always remind her to have patience and faith, advice Claudia continues to share with those she loves.
During the first act, the ensemble performs "96,000" as they sing about what it would be like to win the Lotto. With the singers emanating so much energy, one can't help but feel optimistic for them.
Quiroga gets the party started with "Carnaval del Barrio" and her vocals are outstanding. The high-energy song with exceptional dancing is sensational. It is soon followed by "Alabanza" where Torres sweetly sings the first lines and then the song builds up to a powerful number featuring the whole cast. Both performed during the second act are show stoppers.
Spanish is sprinkled throughout the dialogue and lyrics of "In the Heights" to add authenticity, but are always followed by English translations, or the lines are delivered with gestures that make things clear for those who don't understand the language.
Many may want to see this musical because they are curious about Miranda's earlier work, but "In the Heights" is an entertaining look into the life of Latinos in New York City and a beautiful tribute to the music that was brought to the United States from the islands of Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

Engeman Theater to new heights
By David Ambro
In its 12th season of bringing Broadway to Main Street, the John W. Engeman Theater at Northport is coming of age.
Now showing on the main stage at the Engeman Theater is the critically acclaimed Broadway hit In the Heights, a 2009 Pulitzer Prize nominated musical written and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also wrote and currently stars in Hamilton, the hottest ticket on Broadway. In the Heights opened at the Engeman Thursday, March 15, the first professional production of the show on Long Island.
"It's exciting to do a show that people haven't seen a lot before," said Richard Dolce, who produced the show and is the theater's producing artistic director. "That's what was exciting about [the previous show] Once. People came in having heard about it but it's not like My Fair Lady or West Side Story where everyone remembers it and has seen it. This is something they have heard of and maybe they have heard of Hamilton, but to experience it and for us to be the people to bring it to them is very satisfying. It's why I do this."
Set in a closely knit neighborhood on 183rd Street in the Washington Heights section of the Bronx, In the Heights is a story about a diverse Latino community of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Puerto Rico, struggling to improve their lives in America. On the Engeman stage, Spiro Marcos plays the central role of Usnavi, a Dominican immigrant who operates a bodega with his cousin. Sonny, played by Nick Martinez, and under the watchful eye of neighborhood matriarch Abuela Claudia, played by Tami Dahbura. Mr. Marcos is captivating as Usnavi, a role he delivers in rhythmic rap. Mr. Martinez and Ms. Dahbura are terrific in their performances. Sonny warm, funny and engaging and Abuela compassionate and endearing.
A defining moment in the story comes when Abuela dies suddenly during a New York City blackout on a blistering hot July day. Having been raised by Abuela, her death hits Usnavi hard. He decides to give up the bodega, the heart of the neighborhood, and return to his homeland. Central to the plot is romance, Usnavi is enamored by Vanessa, a neighborhood hairdresser played by Chiara Trentalange. Josh Marin plays Benny, an African-American in love with his boss' daughter, Nina, played by Cherry Torres.
Steeped in the Latino culture and highlighting the struggle of the American melting pot. In the Heights at the Engeman features a deep cast of stars supported by an ensemble that is more than 20 voices strong at times. It is must-see contemporary theater on the Northport stage.
For tickets, go to engemantheater.com, call 631-261-2900 or visit the theater box office at 250 Main Street in Northport village.
In the Heights is told in a mixed dialogue of English and Spanish and a variety of musical styles including Rap, Hip Hop, Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton, Rock 'n Roll and traditional Broadway style, all with a Latino beat.
"Lin-Manuel Miranda, the composer and the guy who is Hamilton, tells a story about his life growing up and he wanted to use the music of his youth and of his culture," Mr. Dolce said. "[Miranda] is a really big fan of rap and Latin music and a big fan of Broadway so he took this amalgamation of all this different music. There are characters who primarily rap, but there are also a lot of characters who do pretty standard ballads and storytelling and it's all put together to portray a slice of life in Washington Heights back in the mid to late 2000s."
"It is so much fun," Mr. Marcos said during an interview in the lobby after the show. "We have become family. We have only rehearsed for two weeks. This is the third week of rehearsals and it has included five performances. So we are exhausted, but we have all just held each other up and we have all made it a point to tell the story and to do it justice and do it with respect and also share a little bit of our culture with the people of Northport. It is kind of amazing."
"So I am elated. The show is fun. it's upbeat, it warms your heart and it is all about the legacies -we leave, and I think this is so important," he said. "People have to understand that you leave your mark wherever you are, and that is very important to me."
Mr. Dolce said that because the script is a mix of English and Spanish, a largely Latino cast was selected to bring authenticity to the show. "Obviously, they are trying to be as authentic as possible. Fortunately, we cast actors who are Latino, so they came with their own background and their connection to the material. So it was a matter of the director, choreographer and musical director working with the actors and material to bring out the authenticity."
"The big thing for me is showing the respect for the Spanish language because it drives the culture of almost half of the people in this country," Mr. Marcos said. "In wanting to pay respect to the language and doing it justice, sometimes you get people who do parts like this, and they don't know the language. It's just them trying to figure it out and learning the words on a page. But for me it is the connection to that world and knowing exactly what I'm saying and how to say it and not just learning the lines. I know exactly what I am saying and not just words on a page, so I can pay respect to this language."
"Lin-Manuel had a reason for putting that in this show. He had a reason for including it and I think it is so important to respect that decision of his because he is the first one to do it like that," Mr. Marcos said.
"West Side Story did it back then and I was in West Side Story. I played Bernardo, and it was crazy because in that show they almost bastardized Puerto Rico. They were all ashamed of Puerto Rico and they wanted to get out of Puerto Rico. And this is a show that is celebrating Puerto Rico and it is just amazing that he created something that celebrates Latin American culture when the only time you're seen it in a show it has been bastardized. And that was a huge, huge inspiration for me."
While the dialogue is delivered in English and Spanish and the music has an uplifting Latino beat, the choreography is also modern and new to the Engeman.
"It is probably the most modern dance that we have done," Mr. Dolce said. "It mixes elements of Hip Hop and Break Dancing with traditional Broadway dancing and with Latin musical dancing, Salsa dancing. When we did Memphis and Hairspray it was 50s Rock youth style of dancing. This is more modern. So again, it is exciting to be able to present something like this. That feels fresh, that hasn't been done."
"We are thrilled to be able to do the show. It is a fantastic show, and it is a complicated show, but it is one that, now that we are 12 years in, we felt we could handle and our audiences would enjoy," Mr. Dolce said.
He said the heavy lifting was done by the authors of the script. "The script is there, the music is there. We just had to stay time to it, and just work our actors' and our directors' concepts into the story."
"1 think it is fantastic," Mr. Dolce said. "I think it's exciting. I've been around the theater for a long time and it is exciting to watch Broadway theater evolve over the years. Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, and A Chorus Line and Phantom, Les Miz, and then you got into Rent, and now we have In the Heights and Hamilton, and Next to Normal—you have all of these exciting shows. So it is very exciting for me, as someone who has been there for my entire life, there was a time when I could only produce shows like My Fair Lady, Oklahoma and Sound of Music, and now I feel that audiences are more accepting and receptive to these newer styles of musicals."
The Engeman's last production was Once, the most successful show at the box office in the theater's 12 year history. "Once is very different than typical Broadway, and it was one of my most successful shows," Mr. Dolce said. "I'm hoping, based on audience reaction tonight, that In The Heights will become another wonderfully successful show and that audiences are excited and receptive to seeing musical theater in a new way, with modem music and different cultures and to disappear into a different world and a different story for two and a half hours."

In the Heights: Scorching numbers on a summer day
By Barbara Schuler
Spring is having trouble making an appearance on Long Island, but summer is in full swing at Northport's John W. Engeman Theater, with a spirited take on the high-octane, dance-obsessed, Tony-winning musical "In the Heights."
This, you might recall, was Lin-Manuel Miranda's first musical, started when he was still in college, well before "Hamilton" was even a gleam in his creative eye. Set on a scorching summer day, the play takes place in Washington Heights, where Usnavi (a fine performance from Spiro Marcos in the role Miranda originated) runs his bodega amid the turmoil of a neighborhood where no one is quite making it.
Director Paul Stancato has gathered an impressive cast, with voices that will blow you away and enough stage electricity to energize a small city. Tami Dahbura is endearing and heartbreaking as Abuela Claudia, the barrio matriarch who raised Usnavi (he's named for the first thing his parents saw upon arriving in America, a ship that said U.S. Navy) after his parents died. Cherry Torres internalizes her pain as Nina, the girl who got out, coming home from her first year at Stanford with alarming news that sends her ferociously protective parents Kevin and Camila (Paul Aguirre and Shadia Fairuz) into quite the tailspin.
Other standouts include Chiara Trentalange as Usnavi's feisty, don't-mess-with-me love interest; Josh Marin as the out-of-place Benny (shades of "West Side Story" right down to the balcony scene), who has his sights on Nina; and Vincent Ortega as the piragua guy, selling shaved ice to anyone he can convince to pass up Mister Softee. Not to mention an ensemble of accomplished singers and dancers who bring Christopher Vergara's street-kid costumes and Christopher Ash's storefront set to life, while making it clear they know how to sell salsa (and we're not talking the stuff you put on chips.)
But it's Usnavi who holds it all together and Marcos plays him with a quiet, reserved charm and curtailed cockiness that wisely never attempts to channel Miranda (tough, because an unmistakable resemblance cannot be denied). Marcos is comfortable wherever the music takes him, moving effortlessly from haunting ballads like "It Won't Be Long Now" and "Alabanza" to the hip-hop flavored "96,000."
"I know I wrote a show about home," Miranda said in his rapped acceptance speech when he won the 2008 Tony for best original score. And in the end, that is the loving message of "In the Heights," no clicking of sparkly red shoes required.

Broadway World Review
IN THE HEIGHTS at The Engeman
By Melissa Giordano
When I attended the Broadway incarnation of In the Heights, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Accordingly, when they announced their current season, I had the utmost confidence that the showing at the gorgeous John W. Engeman Theatre was going to be just as stellar. Being The Engeman, I was proven right. The wonderful production runs through April 29th at the Northport venue masterfully directed by Paul Stancato.
The Best Musical Tony winner, conceived and scored by multiple Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda with the book by Quiara Alegria Hudes, tells the tale about the historic Washington Heights community in New York City. Explored are the people, the culture, and what it is like to live in the area. Several stories weave throughout the show that, at its heart, is about people simply trying to navigate life.
Excellently leading the cast as bodega owner Usnavi – Mr. Miranda's role from the Broadway showing – is Spiro Marcos in his Engeman début. Mr. Marcos receives roaring applause and laughs for his natural wit and first-rate renditions of "96,000" and the show's title number with the company. Also, Mr. Marcos' performance of "Hundreds Of Stories" with Tami Dahbura, portraying Abuela Claudia, the town grandmother, is truly endearing and an audience favorite.
Also a highlight among the amazing cast (and in another Engeman début) is Cherry Torres who is terrific as Nina, a college student who has returned to the neighborhood. Nina's passion to make sure she makes her parents proud, yet standing up for herself under the pressure, is relatable and Ms. Torres delivers admirably. Also enjoyable is Iliana Garcia – in yet another Engeman début – as salon worker Carla. Carla is a sweet and well-meaning woman, but, shall we say, a little slow and Ms. Garcia brings many laughs in addition to being a stand-out in many of the dance numbers.
In truth, I could go on and on about the brilliant cast, but I'll sum up by saying that I could possibly see several of them in the Broadway production had it run longer.
On the creative team, the set, designed by Christopher Ash, is stunning and seemingly captures well the spirit of the Washington Heights community. Usnavi's bodega, the salon, and the car service that Nina's father owns are included as well as fire escapes above the bodega and car service. This is enhanced beautifully by John Burkland's lighting design and Christopher Vergara's costume design. Sandalio Alvarez's choreography is also top-notch and well accompanies the score filled with hip-hop, salsa, merengue, and reggaeton which is performed by a thrilling live orchestra headed up by Music Director Alec Bart.
And so, In the Heights at The John W. Engeman Theatre is incredibly entertaining with an absolutely remarkable cast. This heartfelt story and well executed show make for a thrilling night of theatre.

If you're looking for a way to escape the cold then look no further than the John W. Engeman Theater. The current production of In The Heights is a surefire way to bring warmth and excitement to your day. This Tony Award winner for Best Musical boasts a book by Quiara Alegria Hudes, and music and lyrics by…wait for it, Lin-Manuel Miranda! Yes, of Hamilton fame. Filled with the sound and soul of Latin music this incredible score is a brilliant blend of salsa, merengue and hip-hop combined with the format of musical theater we all know and love. It's hypnotic and intoxicating, and just pure fun.
Even if hip-hop isn't usually your cup of tea, do not under any circumstances, be dissuaded from attending. Trust me, it's not my first musical choice either, but somehow this show makes it appealing and wonderful. The intricate, and even amusing lyrics, combine effortlessly with the characters and mood so that the music almost feels like a physical embodiment of the setting. It's impressive as well. The flawless verbal gymnastics performed by Spiro Marcos as Usnavi are simply breathtaking.
The steam is rising off the concrete on a sweltering hot 4th of July in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York. Change is upon the residents, and while some desire it, others find it difficult, hearts are broken and mended, dreams crash and burn and rise again. We the audience follow along through the three transformative days in our characters' lives.
This production is phenomenal. From the authentic look of the set by Christopher Ash, to the amazing vocals performed by the entire cast, In The Heights was a delight from start to finish. The insane talent of this cast cannot be stressed enough. Not only were their voices and dancing superb, but they all make you care about their characters as well. The two couples in this show both had excellent chemistry and you'll find yourself rooting for both of them from the start: Spiro Marcos and Chiara Trentalange, as Usnavi and Vanessa; Josh Marin and Cherry Torres, as Benny and Nina. They are sweet and charming, funny and endearing, and real. Trentalange and Torres both have incredible powerhouse vocals which take over the stage with magical precision. Another vocal stunner is Tami Dahbura as Abuela Claudia, and Marin's clear and resonant tones are not quickly forgotten.
There is also plenty of comedy, and Nick Martinez as Sonny, Scheherazade Quiroga as Daniela and Iliana Garcia as Carla deliver marvelously. Not to be overlooked are Paul Aguirre and Shadia Fairuz as Nina's parents, and the entirety of the cast. Of course the musical talent of the orchestra under direction from Alec Bart was on masterful display.
When I first sat down to In The Heights I wasn't 100% sure what to expect. Not only did this production meet my expectations, it blew them away. By any means possible see this show!

The production team at Northport's plush Engeman Theater certainly knows how to pick 'em. Their newest offering is a stimulating show that depicts a three-day slice of life 'In the Heights.' Not Brooklyn Heights (the upscale area across the river from Wall Street) … nor Jackson Heights (that's a landlocked neighborhood in Queens) … this is about Washington Heights, bordered by two rivers, up near the northern tip of Manhattan.
German immigrants first populated the area's high bluffs, but demographics changed radically over time and by the turn of the Twenty-First Century, so many immigrants from the Caribbean Islands had moved to Washington Heights that candidates for the presidency of the Dominican Republic began to hold campaign parades there! It's this irrepressible Hispanic element, coupled with pathos and near-feverish dance moves that make 'In the Heights' such an interesting musical.
And 'Heights,' though a bit controversial, is obviously a winner, having garnered thirteen Tony nominations and four first place trophies (including Best Musical) after its opening at the Richard Rogers Theatre in 2008. Dissimilarly, fifty years earlier, the highly touted 'West Side Story' had gained less than half that number of recommendations and won in only the 'Choreography' and 'Set Design' categories.
Inevitably, there will be those who assume that the current Engeman offering is a North End version of 'West Side Story.' Not so. At the risk of being labeled some kind of Thespian heretic, I will confess that 'West Side Story' has never been my cup of tea. I dislike the show's constant drumbeat of machismo nonsense (although it must be said the frenetic 'Heights' production too has its share of that) … and the repetitious nature of what Bernstein and company apparently intended to be timeless romantic anthems, often renders their version of 'Romeo and Juliet' rather tedious.
But 'In the Heights' is a somewhat more interesting story—Nina, the 'bright girl who made it out' of The Heights—is back from her Freshman year at Stanford; trouble is, 'the pride of her neighborhood, The Corner,' isn't home on break … unable to pay Stanford's steep tuition (despite working two jobs), she's suffered academically, and been forced to drop out of the prestigious institution.
The most distressing trouble Nina gets into stems from her failure early on to have told her hard-working parents the truth about her academic collapse several months prior. In other words, it's the cover-up that proves to be the worst part of her sad experience. Nina finally fesses-up, though, and finds out who really loves her.
Throughout this show, fate intervenes in Twenty-First Century ways. In one particularly recognizable modern-day surprise, the play benefits from a healthy shot of realism often lacking in so many modern musicals. There's a city-wide power failure, for example—many will remember the real thing when they see John Burkland's clever staging of the blackout … go and experience for yourself what the other familiar touches are.
To select an all-star group from among the several actors performing at The Engeman thru April 29 is not to diminish a single member of the cast. Many of the 'also featured' players are every bit as pleasing to watch as are the stars: Spiro Marcos (Usnavi), Josh Marin (Benny), Cherry Torres (Nina), and standout Chiara Trentalange (Vanessa).
Director Paul Stancato, and Choreographer Sandalio Alvarez, must have been paying close attention when my associate, critic Charles Isherwood, conceded in The Times "…this musical erupts in … collective joy … the energy it gives off could light up theGeorge Washington Bridge." He hit the nail squarely on the head. Charles could have been speaking for all of us who had just seen Northport's rousing rendition of 'Heights,' though I might have added kudos for Musical Director Alec Bart and the rest of the creative team that includes: Christopher Ash (scenic design), Christopher Vergara (costumes), John Burkland (lighting design), and Don Hanna (sound).
One wonders how The Engeman comes up with so many capable theatrical craftsmen, show after remarkable show.
One caveat: you won't like 'In the Heights' if you detest rap musicals, as some of us admittedly do. But if the non-stop rat-a-tat of'street opera' turns you on, go see the twenty-one performers currently vocalizing and gyrating at Northport's Engeman Theater. I'm told they've turned in a faithful rendition of what goes on in upper Manhattan.

With the Bakers' Brewery, longtime brewmaster Cory Forster realizes his dream as a restaurateur.
This is how Cory Forster, cofounder and brewmaster at the Bakers' Brewery in Silverthorne, describes his approach to brewing beer: "Kind of what I'm doing is making 500 gallons of soup." He means that in the most delicious way.
Part scientist, part flavor ascetic, part whimsical palate pleaser, Forster enjoys stirring the pot, sometimes mixing as many as 40 different ingredients into a single batch. Favored past ingredients have included honeydew melon, spruce tips, chai tea bags, rose petals soaked in vodka, vanilla beans, and white oak soaked in chardonnay.
Thankfully, the same can be said for his cofounder, Stephanie Sadler, a former Breckenridge art gallery owner who worked with Forster at the Dillon Dam and is a talented home brewer herself. When the duo opened Bakers' this past spring, they introduced the area to a relatively rare hybrid: a brewery that is also a bakery. Who knew there was a market for sourdough and saison under one roof?
With its debut, Bakers' becomes Summit's sixth brewery and the only brewpub located in Silverthorne. Perched above Highway 9 in the old Village Inn building (which they renovated, thankfully), the space affords sprawling views of Buffalo Mountain and the southern Gore Range from its vaulted dining-room windows. From its bakery side, the menu naturally features a full line of house-baked bread (including Rye and Ale bread, using spent grain from the brewing process) and 10 specialties for breakfast, not least Forster's signature Brewrito: a wrap of scrambled eggs, pintos, sausage, and pan-fried potatoes smothered in veggie green chili (served Friday through Sunday). And in tune with its brewery side, the restaurant serves ale-friendly lunch and dinner, with standouts like a zesty gulf shrimp ceviche and the Meltdown, a roast beef-and-gouda sandwich on grilled house-baked jalapeño cheddar sourdough.
True to its name, Bakers' Brewery bakes and brews on the premises, pairing bread hot from the oven with fresh-hopped craft ales.
As good as the grub may be, the brewery may well outshine the bakery. Forster unveiled his four signature brews in early June, a list that will be complemented by seasonal beers offered in small batches. The initial permanent lineup (issuing forth from the brewery's rolling-pin taps) consists of Barking Dog Brown Ale, which is less intense than an English brown but still packs plenty of chocolate-malt flavor; Cotton-Mouth Killer Session Ale, defined by smooth citrus hops; Buzz-Bird Belgian Honey Wheat, probably the easiest to drink of the four, whose honey infusion is subtle; and French Silk Stout, with chocolate and coffee flavors balancing each other to the finish. As a teaser of his seasonal offerings, Forster promises a mango-ginger saison as well as a Belgian rye pale ale in the future.
None of the four stalwart beers exceeds six percent alcohol by volume, somewhat rare for a craft brewery in Colorado. It was a conscious decision. "I want these four to be gentle-introduction beers for people who have never had microbrew before," Forster says, adding that he will still offer "beer-geek beers" via small batches. "My goal is to grow the industry and set people on the path to microbrew." And if they happen to enjoy fresh-baked bread with their pint, ideally made with the grain that fortified Forster's brew "soup," so much the better.


CEOs, top executives, and other business leaders agree that creativity and innovation are vital to thrive in a competitive world. But according to the research of former Wharton management professor Jennifer Mueller, many business leaders chronically reject creative solutions and instead embrace the familiar. Mueller's research reveals that it's not just CEOs, but many others who struggle to accept creative ideas even as they seek innovation. Mueller will address the tough questions these findings raise: Do we love but also hate creative ideas? Could the mindset we use to evaluate ideas turn this love or hate on or off—in an instant? Do experts struggle even more than novices with this bias? And even more startling, could our "best practices" activate this bias, and inadvertently, kill innovation? Mueller diagnoses this hidden innovation barrier and will share her solutions in this workshop.

If you are not sure when to insert a bar chart for your work, you should think about the particular type of your initial data and your personal preferences. Let's say you want to create a bar chart that illustrates the subject grades for a specific student. You can choose to draw a scatter plot only on markers or lines. Line charts are not as colorful as other forms of graphics, but it is very clear to users to find the trend within a particular period for a single set of information. Now you should have a very simple line chart with markers that show the change as time passes.
Ring charts have many elements, including the division of segments and the importance of the arc of a segment of someone. They are very similar to pie charts in terms of the area in the trimmed center. Try to simplify a single graphic, or it could be separated into a few graphics. Homework tables can be used for children, adults or the whole family! Apart from that, the table is well studied where the origin of the study is mentioned and people can access the complete survey to obtain more information about it. Column charts are extremely useful for comparing a minimum of a set of information points. A grouped column chart is particularly powerful for displaying and analyzing several data sets.
The template includes a lot of features. It is very colorful in itself and has 5 color combinations to choose from as well. The control panel template can be used to provide you with information about all the data on your site using its various representation and visualization procedures. The template looks very professional and has a fairly easy to use interface. It has all the important features such as graphics, forms, tables, a collection of user interface elements and many more pages. It also includes a map as well. After opening Edraw, go to an organization chart template and follow the instructions below.
The color palette that you select for your map can alter the way people respond to your data. You should also take into account people who may be color blind. Whenever you're playing the colors that a chord requires, that's all you'll need. When you have the color you enjoy, click on the background layer to fill it with that color. If you want to select your own colors it is fine. Open the image that you prefer to edit in Paint. To find the best results, you must make sure that the paint you use has the following qualities.
The main objective of the comparison tables is to demonstrate a scheme of possibilities for several circumferences. Coloring books for adults can allow you to focus better throughout the day and help you practice mindfulness. Also check the color degree of the fabric, so that the color does not fade over time.
Even at the time of 6-8 decades, there are not many studies and it will be easier for parents to involve their children in another activity. It is beneficial to use it whenever your children are young or just start doing housework. Therefore, children will be able to see many unique images of 'jumping' in 1 place. They have to measure the proportion of colors that is needed to make brown or black. They can learn to draw with the help of letters much faster. Most children like to be told stories, story time is usually a pleasant time for children.

The Manor farm and the Trulli
Martina Franca and the Valle d'Itria
The Manor Farm San Paolo is certainly one of the most important and famous in Italy, both for its history and size.
The passion for this business was passed on Francesco Basile, the owner: just like his father he was president of the Purebred Breeders National Association from 2000 to 2014.
The Murgese Horse and the Donkey of Martina Franca selection, continuously bred by the Basile Family, started in 1926 when the Ministry of Agriculture, together with the bygone Regio Deposito Stalloni di Foggia, today known as Istituto Regionale Incremento Ippico, and through the Department of Agricultural Inspectors of Bari, today known as the Regional Agricultural Department.
Considering the bad break the equine sector was suffering during the war and the strong effort made by the breeders to preserve the rare examples of these fabulous animals, after the 2nd World War it was necessary to set a real organization that could preserve these species concerning native thoroughbreds. Therefore, in 1948 Alfonso Motolese, – Founding Assembly Deputy and Mayor of Martina Franca – drove a group of 22 breeders, such as Alberico Motolese e Alfonso Basile, to promote the foundation of the The Regional Association of Breeders of the Murge Horse and the Donkey of Martina Franca, the really first one in Italy situated in Martina Franca.
Thanks to the enthusiasm of the founding members and the managing abilities of Alberico Motolese previous president of the business from 1948 to 1975 and Alfonso Basile next president from 1975 to 1995, the Association gave an important encouragement to the breed's development and knowledge, and a modern approach to understand the idea of breeding. Particularly, the horse breed was preserved from crossbreeding and purebreds selected. This initiative together with the collaboration of the Regio Deposito Stalloni di Foggia headed that time by the high-skilled zoo technician Colonel Agostino D'Alessandro, made of the Murgese the unique Italian equine production.
In December 1956 the Association organized the 1st Competition of the Murge Horse and the Donkey of Martina Franca Market, an event that today is still celebrated every year during the first weekend of December. The Imperial stallion from San Paolo breeding was awarded in that first edition. Over the years, the incredible cooperation to develop the Murge Horse and the Donkey of Martina Franca made possible its national evolution. In 1990, the ANAMF National Association of Breeders of the Horse of the Murgia and Donkey of Martina Franca was founded with headquarters in the same Martina Franca and headed by Alfonso Basile who was president until 1995.
The San Paolo Manor Farm of Martina Franca in the South – Eastern Murgia – Valle d'Itria – is one of the most ancient and renowned manor farms of Puglia.
Manor farms date back to the Spanish domination age and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. We need to imagine the manor farms as little villages where farmers were at the service of landowners and responsible for land and breeding.
San Paolo Manor Farm is a typical Apulian manor farm that preserves the original livestock life of the Murgese Horse and the Donkey of Martina Franca. This, thanks to the passion of the Basile Family – owner of the manor farm since the 18th century – and a particular geographical location and extension: 465 meters above sea level and 270 hectares.
The peaceful graze in the wood, the manor and the neighboring trulli, where daily tasks are developed, and a church watching over them are some of the fascinations that can bring us to conceive how manor farm lifestyle could be in ancient times.
Martina Franca (49.000 cit. and 431 m of altitude) is placed on one of the last southern hills of the South – Eastern Murgia and prevails in height in the fascinating Valle d'Itria surrounded by snow white trulli.
Beyond the rich landscape covered by the ancient casedde (the famous trulli) and the typical building of masserie (manor farms) Martina Franca benefits from a wide karst area of undeniable magnificence and important naturalistic value.
After a walk through the white alleys of the ancient area, where the Baroque art is indeed the best feature, a visit to the majestic Basilica of San Martino and the eighteenth-century halls of the Ducal Palace (location of the yearly and prestigious Festival of the Valle d'Itria ) you can pleasantly have a seat in one of the many typical pubs to taste the renowned cuisine of Martina. At the end of a relaxing day trip in the pure woodland and ancient manor farms, it is possible to stay in one of the elegant and welcoming hotels of the city.
The Valle d' Itria, which is placed in the heart of the highland of the Murgia called Murgia of Trulli, represents the unique environmental and cultural model that often evokes extraordinary descriptions from travelers.
Basically the Valle d'Itria is a widespread city covering all around the area of the valley with more the twenty thousand homogeneous villages in the basic building (the trullo).
Alberobello is worldwide famous for the trulli. The city of the trulli was first declared national monument and later a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The area is full of manor farms and woodlands that make fabulous and fascinating the landscape.
In this context Ostuni, a territory full of olive trees, between the Murge and the seaside, together with Locorotondo, Cisternino, Castellana Grotte and Conversano are included.
The Manor Farm "San Paolo" in Martina Franca, immersed in the South Eastern Murgia, is one of the most ancient and renowned manor farms of the Puglia region.

There is no generally accepted definition for chronic osteomyelitis, a term that has been employed to describe bone infections based on temporal, histologic, or etiologic factors. Waldvogel et al. (76) considered, for epidemiologic purposes, only those patients with a prior admission for the same infection. This narrow definition identifies one group of patients with chronic osteomyelitis, but tends to exclude patients with the initial onset of indolent bone infection as well as many patients with osteomyelitis complicating foreign bodies, including orthopedic appliances. Other authors have used histologic criteria to separate acute from chronic osteomyelitis (5), and many of the experimental models have used this approach as well.

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King
1As they approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent out two disciples, 2telling them, "Go to the village ahead of you. As soon as you get there, you'll find a donkey tied up, with her colt next to her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything to you, tell them, 'The Lord needs them.' The owner will send them right away."
4This happened to make the words of the prophet come true:
5"Say to the city of Zion,
'See, your king is coming to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
riding on a donkey's colt.' "
6The disciples went and did what Jesus had told them to do. 7They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their coats on them for Jesus to sit on. 8A very large crowd spread their coats on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread those on the road. 9Some of the people went ahead of him, and some followed behind, and they all shouted,
"Hosanna to the Son of David!"
"Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
10When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up. The people asked, "Who is this?"
11The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."
Jesus Clears Out the Temple
12Jesus entered the temple courtyard and began to drive out all those who were buying and selling there. He turned over the tables of the people who exchanged money and the benches of those who sold doves. 13"It is written," he told them, " 'My house will be called a house of prayer.' But you are making it 'a den of robbers.' "
14People who were blind and disabled came to Jesus at the temple, and he healed them. 15The chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he was doing, and they heard the children in the temple courtyard shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" This made them angry.
16"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him.
"Yes," replied Jesus. "Haven't you ever read about it in Scripture? It says,
" 'Even from children and infants,
Lord, you will receive praise.' "
17Then Jesus left them and went out of the city to spend the night in Bethany.
Jesus Makes a Fig Tree Dry Up
18Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back into Jerusalem, he was hungry. 19He saw a fig tree by the road and went up to it, but he didn't find anything on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Right away the tree dried up.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. "How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?" they asked.
21Jesus answered, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do what was done to the fig tree. You can even say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 22If you believe, you will receive what you ask for when you pray."
The Authority of Jesus Is Questioned
23Jesus went into the temple courtyard and started teaching there. The chief priests and elders of the people came up to him and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?"
24Jesus answered, "I'll ask you a question too. If you answer me, I'll tell you by what authority I'm doing these things. 25Where did John's baptism come from? Was it from heaven, or was he acting on human authority?"
They talked this over among themselves and realized, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he'll ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?' 26But if we say, 'On human authority,' who knows what the people might do to us? They all believe that John was a prophet."
27So they answered Jesus, "We don't know."
Jesus replied, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things either."
The Story of the Two Sons
28"What do you think about this? A certain man had two sons. He went to the first one and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
29" 'I won't,' the son answered. But later he changed his mind and went.
30"Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. That son answered, 'I will, sir.' But he didn't go.
31"Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?"
"The first," they answered.
Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32John came to show you the right way, and you didn't believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. Even when you saw that, you didn't turn away from your sins and believe him.
The Story of the Renters
33"Listen to another story. A certain man owned some land and planted a vineyard on it. He put up a wall around it, dug a pit for a winepress, and built a lookout tower. Then he rented the vineyard out to some farmers and moved to another place. 34When harvest time came, he sent his slaves to the renters to collect his share of the fruit.
35"But the renters mistreated his slaves. They beat one of them, killed another, and threw stones at a third. 36Then the man sent a larger group of slaves to the renters, but they treated them the same way. 37So finally, he sent his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.'
38"But when the renters saw the son coming, they said to one another, 'He's supposed to inherit all the owner's property someday. Come on, let's kill him, and then everything will be ours.' 39So they grabbed him and dragged him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40"What will the owner of the vineyard come and do to those renters?"
41"He'll make those cruel men suffer a cruel death," they replied. "Then he'll rent the vineyard out to other renters who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time."
42Jesus said to them, "Haven't you ever read this in the Scriptures?
" 'The stone the builders wouldn't accept
has become the most important stone of all.
The Lord has done this,
and it's wonderful in our eyes.'
43"So I tell you that the kingdom of God is going to be taken away from you and given to people who will produce its fruit. 44Anyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and the stone will crush anyone it falls on."
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' stories, they knew he was talking about them. 46They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd, because the people believed that Jesus was a prophet.

1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying to them, 'Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.'
4This took place to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet:
5'Say to Daughter Zion,
"See, your king comes to you,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey." '#21:5 Zech. 9:9
6The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
'Hosanna#21:9 A Hebrew expression meaning 'Save!' which became an exclamation of praise; also in verse 15 to the Son of David!'
'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'#21:9 Psalm 118:25,26
'Hosanna#21:9 A Hebrew expression meaning 'Save!' which became an exclamation of praise; also in verse 15 in the highest heaven!'
10When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, 'Who is this?'
11The crowds answered, 'This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.'
Jesus at the temple
12Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13'It is written,' he said to them, ' "My house will be called a house of prayer,"#21:13 Isaiah 56:7 but you are making it "a den of robbers."#21:13 Jer. 7:11'
14The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. 15But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' they were indignant.
16'Do you hear what these children are saying?' they asked him.
'Yes,' replied Jesus, 'have you never read,
' "From the lips of children and infants
you, Lord, have called forth your praise" # 21:16 Psalm 8:2 (see Septuagint) ?'
17And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.
Jesus curses a fig-tree
18Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19Seeing a fig-tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, 'May you never bear fruit again!' Immediately the tree withered.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. 'How did the fig-tree wither so quickly?' they asked.
21Jesus replied, 'Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig-tree, but also you can say to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and it will be done. 22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.'
The authority of Jesus questioned
23Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. 'By what authority are you doing these things?' they asked. 'And who gave you this authority?'
24Jesus replied, 'I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25John's baptism – where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?'
They discussed it among themselves and said, 'If we say, "From heaven", he will ask, "Then why didn't you believe him?" 26But if we say, "Of human origin" – we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.'
27So they answered Jesus, 'We don't know.'
Then he said, 'Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
The parable of the two sons
28 'What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, "Son, go and work today in the vineyard."
29 ' "I will not," he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30 'Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, "I will, sir," but he did not go.
31 'Which of the two did what his father wanted?'
'The first,' they answered.
Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
The parable of the tenants
33 'Listen to another parable: there was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall round it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 34When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 'The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 36Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them in the same way. 37Last of all, he sent his son to them. "They will respect my son," he said.
38 'But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, "This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance." 39So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 'Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?'
41'He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,' they replied, 'and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.'
42Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures:
' "The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
and it is marvellous in our eyes" # 21:42 Psalm 118:22,23 ?
43 'Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.'#21:44 Some manuscripts do not have verse 44.
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.

Q: Should the storage device be stopped before using xfs_growfs? My cloud server has an external device formatted as XFS. After expanding the volume, I will need to run the command:
$ sudo xfs_growfs /dev/sdb

Since it is critical for a service to keep writing on the device, would it be possible to run xfs_growfs without stopping the service? The usual "safe" way is to stop the service, run xfs_growfs, then start the service again. I was just wondering if stopping the service is really needed, or if xfs_growfs was designed to be able to resize even when reads and writes on the disk is ongoing.

A: xfs_growfs works online, no need to stop anything, no problem at all.
As long as the larger /dev/sdb device size is detected properly, and you're actually using XFS on full disk instead of a partition, you can grow it directly. If there are partitions involved, you have to grow the partition first.

Possible actual photo of the Model III ???
Discussion in 'Model 3' started by luvnMyTS, Jan 14, 2016.
If this is it, it will be amazing. Just a shrunken down version of the Model S. I've been saying the car needs to be what the BMW 3 series is to the 5 series, effectively a smaller version with the same general design. If this image is in fact the Model III, then they've gone that route. Seriously hoping they don't get stupid and make it look like something to compete with the Bolt or the BMW i3. Certainly wouldn't be a customer if they go that route.
Hard to gauge the size in this image. I guess it could also be the freshened up version of the Model S??? Has headlights matching the Model X, but still has the nose cone. Which I have to say, I'm not a fan of, but it is better than the front of the Model X. Definitely don't like the direction they went on the X. As of yet, haven't found a better option for the nose cone and it is an identifying feature of Tesla.
That is a stretched photo of a Model X with a nosecone.
That was backstage at the Model X release. Absolutely positively nothing to do with Model 3.
Argh. This picture was posted in a thread yesterday and another thread back in October. It's not the 3!
That is certainly not a 3.
Looks like the white X prototype that I saw over a year ago at the Palo Alto showroom.

Employer consultation requirements
by	John Dunkley and Nikki Williams	 Tags: Administration, Wealth – Trustee
Volume 2021 | Issue 22
Employers with 50 or more employees are required to consult with affected employees before making significant changes to future pension arrangements.
The requirements generally apply to proposals for "listed changes" and require at least 60 days consultation with prospective and active members (and their representatives) before such changes are made.
Consultation may be required where contribution rates are set out in pension scheme rules or terms and conditions and changes are being made due to changes in legislation, for example, any future changes in relation to the automatic enrolment requirements.
Listed changes and the information requirements
Occupational pension schemes
Listed changes for occupational pension schemes are divided into changes that apply to all schemes and those that depend on the type of scheme concerned. A change may affect all, or a category of, members.
All schemes
increasing the normal pension age
closing scheme to new members / types of new members
closing the scheme to future accrual
removing employer liability to contribute
introducing member contributions to non-contributory schemes
increasing member contributions
changing the rate at which pensions in payment are increased, or benefits are revalued, but only where the change would be less generous to members
Money purchase schemes
reducing employer contributions
Non-money purchase schemes
changing some or all of the benefits provided to money purchase benefits
altering the basis of future accrual (e.g. from final salary to career average) or reducing the rate of future accrual
changing the elements of pay that constitute pensionable earnings, or changing the proportion of, or limiting the amount of, any element of pay that forms part of pensionable earnings
Personal pension schemes*
For personal pension schemes where direct payment arrangements exist and to which employers contribute, the listed changes are:
ceasing or reducing employer contributions for some or all members
increasing member contributions for some or all members
* The DWP's 2010 guidance states that it considers that "providing the employer's contribution rate does not change nor the member's contribution rate increases, changing the group personal pension provider is not a listed change and consultation by the employer is not required".
What consultation involves
The legislation only requires consultation with affected members over proposals. Affected members are active or prospective members to whom the proposed change relates.
The legislation imposes a requirement to consult; not necessarily to actually secure employees' agreement. Any consultation should be meaningful, this means giving employees enough detail and notice to consider the change (at least 60 days) and also enough time for employers to consider any responses on the proposals before implementation.
The Regulator has made it clear in its 2015 guidance that part of the consultation process is to consider the responses made before making any final decisions and to allow an adequate time period for that consideration to be given.
The regulations enable the consultation to be considered as completed if no responses have been received by the end of the closing date for consultation.
The Regulator recognises that in certain circumstances it is not always practical for the employer to consult over a change; for instance, in situations such as company restructuring or where delaying a change may affect members' jobs. In such cases the Regulator can be approached to waive the requirements.
Employers may not bypass recognised employee representatives to consult employees directly about significant changes to pension schemes. If some of the affected members are not represented by an existing representative the employer must consult directly with those employees or may arrange for representatives to be elected to represent them.
In our experience very few of our clients have existing employee consultation groups in place.
Format of the consultation
Legislation requires information about the consultation to be given in writing to affected persons. It is not specified what form that written information is given in so does not preclude notification by email or by using notice boards. However, information that only reaches some of the relevant parties is not acceptable on its own. Therefore, the employer needs to use a method or methods of notifying members that fulfils the statutory obligation which is to ensure the widest possible coverage to affected persons.
Where a listed change is proposed, employers must as a minimum, notify each potentially affected employee and any representatives of such employees (i.e. unions). The notification must:
state the (likely) effect on the scheme and its members
be accompanied by any relevant background information
indicate the timescale for implementation, and
provide the information in such a manner to ensure those members' representatives and/or members are able to consider and respond to the proposed change
The DWP has further given the view that the following information should always be considered and included where appropriate:
the total number of prospective and active pension scheme members upon whom the change will impact
an explicit statement of the categories of scheme member who will be exempt from the proposed change
the type of change that is proposed
an illustrative worked example to give an indication of how the proposed change will affect the employee's future pension arrangements
the date the proposed change is to take affect
basic information about The Pensions Regulator's role in this aspect of pension legislation, including details about how the scheme members or their representatives may contact the Regulator
Trustees of occupational schemes who are party to amendment powers have no responsibility for the actual procedure of consultation but must be satisfied that the requirements have been met before agreeing to implement scheme changes.
End of the consultation
At the end of the period in which affected members and their representatives have to consider and respond to the proposed change, the responses to the consultation must be considered by the person who is proposing the change before a decision is made.
Where the trustees, or any other person who is able to make a change to a scheme, proposed the listed change, the employer must advise them in writing that the responses have been received and forward comments for their consideration. Before the change is made the person who proposed the change (if not the employer) must be satisfied that the employer has completed the consultation in accordance with the consultation regulations.
Affected members should be told of the outcome of the consultation exercise.
The Pensions Regulator's role
The legislation confers a limited scope for the Regulator to waive or relax the employer's statutory consultation obligation. Employers may apply to the Regulator for the obligation to be waived or relaxed; such application should set out reasons why the delay in making a change would be damaging to the scheme members' interests. For example, it could be demonstrated that such a delay would adversely affect the company's ability to remain solvent.
Sanctions for non-compliance
The Regulator has the power to determine that an employer has failed to comply with the consultation regulations and has effected a listed change without appropriate consultation. If the Regulator determines that an employer had beached the statutory obligation to consult on future pension changes, an order notice or direction may be made. The strongest action would be to impose a civil penalty on the employer, which currently is up to £50,000 for companies and up to £5,000 in respect of individuals.
It should be noted that the legislation on consultation does not currently give the power to the Regulator to overturn any scheme amendments that have not been correctly consulted on.
Exclusions from the requirement to consult on any change to an occupational or personal pension scheme
There are exemptions given from the consultation procedures in respect of certain occupational schemes, including: one-man schemes, employer-financed retirement benefits schemes (EFRBS) and non-registered schemes based outside of the EU. The requirements do not apply in relation to personal pensions where there is no employer contribution.
Technically speaking, there is also no need to comply with the consultation requirement of 60 days for amendments which are made "for the purposes of complying with a statutory provision", which is the case for changes to correct, for example, age discrimination. However, in such circumstances, employers may still wish to carry out a consultation process to encourage employees to feel informed and engaged.
If the amendment(s) constitute changes to subsisting rights, then the requirements of S67 of the Pensions Act 1995 will take precedence.
Automatic enrolment
The automatic enrolment duties imposed on employers are statutory requirements. Automatic enrolment is essentially all about making employers ensure that all eligible jobholders join a pension scheme meeting certain requirements. As a statutory requirement, it may be expected that automatic enrolment changes to schemes would mean an exemption from employer consultation.
However, there is nothing in current legislation that requires an employer to utilise an existing pension scheme for this purpose. Any changes that need to be made to an existing scheme to comply with the qualifying workplace scheme requirements therefore fall outside of the statutory provisions for automatic enrolment. It is the automatic enrolment requirements that must be met that are imposed by statute, rather than how an employer chooses to meet them.
For example, any increase in contributions or a redefinition of pensionable earnings to comply with automatic enrolment, is not a mandatory change required by legislation. These changes may well be listed changes for employer consultation purposes, and the automatic enrolment legislation does not force employers to amend existing schemes, because there is the option of instead providing a brand new scheme.
Therefore, employers looking to use existing schemes to meet their duties under automatic enrolment need to:
consider what changes need to be made to their scheme to comply with the qualifying scheme requirements; and
factor prior consultation with affected members into their planning, where a listed change is to be made. (An affected member in terms of employer consultation includes all prospective members who would be automatically enrolled into the scheme.)


Active transient voltage compensator (ATVC) has been proposed to improve VR transient response at high slew rate load, which engages in transient periods operating in MHZ to inject high slew rate current in step up load and recovers energy in step down load. Main VR operates in low switching frequency mainly providing DC current. Parallel ATVC has largely reduced conduction and switching losses. Parallel ATVC also reduces the number of VR bulk capacitors. Combined linear and adaptive nonlinear control has been proposed to reduce delay times in the actual controller, which injects one nonlinear signal in transient periods and simplifies the linear controller design. Switching mode current compensator with nonlinear control in secondary side is proposed to eliminate the effect of opotocoupler, which reduces response times and simplifies the linear controller design in isolated DC-DC converters. A novel control method has been carried out in two-stage isolated DC-DC converter to simplify the control scheme and improve the transient response, allowing for high duty cycle operation and large step-down voltage ratio with high efficiency. A balancing winding network composed of small power rating components is used to mitigate the double pole-zero effect in complementary-controlled isolated DC-DC converter, which simplifies the linear control design and improves the transient response without delay time. A parallel post regulator (PPR) is proposed for wide range input isolated DC-DC converter with secondary side control, which provides small part of output power and most of them are handled by unregulated rectifier with high efficiency. PPR is easy to achieve ZVS in primary side both in wide range input and full load range due to 0.5 duty cycle. PPR has reduced conduction loss and reduced voltage rating in the secondary side due to high turn ratio transformer, resulting in up to 8 percent efficiency improvement in the prototype compared to conventional methods.

Manchester Phoenix swoop for youngsters
Editorial Team 2nd February 2018 0 views
Ice HockeySport0 Comments0 views 0
Manchester Phoenix have added defensive prospect Joe Graham and promising forward Jacob Corson-Heron to the roster for 2013-14.
Nottingham-born Graham, 23, returns to Phoenix after spending the last three seasons with the Guildford Flames, where he picked up an EPL playoff title, and the Peterborough Phantoms.
The former Great Britain U20 international, who has also had spells with Nottingham Panthers in the Elite League and the Solihull Barons, notched 25 points in 40 games on the Phantoms' blueline last season and is rated as one of the best young defencemen in the league.
"I really enjoyed my season with Phoenix and when Tony [Hand, Phoenix player-coach] called, it did not take too long to move back up North. I have one EPL medal and really want to add to that with Phoenix and win something for their great fans," Graham told Phoenix TV.
Phoenix have also inked a deal for 20-year-old Corson-Heron.
The forward made his senior debut for his hometown club, the Milton Keynes Lightning, at just 14 and showed no sign of nerves as he notched an assist.
He gradually built up his ice time with the Lightning and made 31 appearances, scoring four points, as the club lifted the 2009-10 EPL championship.
Corson-Heron was an ever-present the following season but moved on to the Basingstoke Bison in 2011-12. He again played in every regular season game for his new club, notching three goals and nine assists in 54 games, but saw the 2012-13 campaign ruined by a serious knee injury, which limited him to just 15 appearances.
The young forward is now fully recovered and keen to make up for lost time with the Phoenix.
"The surgery went very well and I have recovered 100 per cent. I would not have moved if it had been any other way," he told Phoenix TV.
"I am now really looking forward to playing for Phoenix and my new teammates. I am a 100 per cent player, will do anything the coach asks and am happy to stick up for my teammates if required. I have a whole season to catch up on and am ready for the new season."
The latest signings mean Phoenix now have nine players under contract for the new campaign, including player-coach Hand. The others are forwards Michal Psurny, Frantisek Bakrlik, James Archer and Andy McKinney, along with defencemen Robert Schnabel and captain Luke Boothroyd.

The heirs of Richard Ritchie, who created the Pepsi® cola formula in 1931, filed a declaratory judgment in the District Court for the Southern District of New York on May 3, 2012, requesting the court to declare that the documents relating to the creation of the soda formula are the Ritchie heirs' personal property, which the heirs may publicly share. PepsiCo, Inc. ("Pepsi") counters that the documents are the company's trade secrets but the heirs argue in response that Pepsi has no claim for trade secrets misappropriation. Ritchie allegedly developed the Pepsi formula while working for a separate candy company and was not a Pepsi employee until 1939. He left Pepsi in 1951 and signed an agreement which only prohibited him from disclosing the formula to a competing beverage company but it did not cover his heirs' use of the formula and did not require him to return the formula documents. Alternatively, even if the formula was Pepsi's trade secret, the heirs argue that they have a First Amendment journalistic right to disclose the "historically significant, newsworthy" documents.
While the parties are currently in mediation, and by request of the court Silleck requested leave until September 28, 2012 to file an amended complaint.
