The First Aga Khan, Memoirs of the 46th Ismaili Imam - Book Launch Talks
Watch the insightful presentations by Dr Daniel Beben and Dr Daryoush M. Poor on the remarkable life and career of the 46th hereditary Ismaili Imam - Hasan Ali Shah - during a book launch event on 1 May at the Aga Khan Centre.
Part of the Ismaili Texts and Translations Series, the book was published in honour of His Highness the Aga Khan IV Diamond Jubilee. It is the first English translation of the original Persian manuscript, the Ibrat-afza which was composed in 1850. In addition to the English and Persian texts, the book provides a detailed contextual introduction, helping readers to engage more insightfully with the Imam 's testimony, told as part autobiography and part as his memoir.
During the book launch, Dr Daniel Beben of Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan, spoke of the text's historical, social and cultural significance. He examined some of the key concepts within the text, including legitimacy, lineage and authority, through processes such as conflict mediation for the wider community, and the interactions between the Imam and the Qajar monarchy in Persia, who had bestowed upon him the title of Aga Khan. Dr Beben also spoke about the evolution of the 46th Imam's role as a social, political and spiritual leader, the final decade of the Nizari Ismaili Imamate in Persia, and the transition of the Seat of the Ismaili Imamate from Persia to India.
Dr Daryoush Mohammad Poor of The Institute of Ismaili Studies elaborated further on some of the intricacies of the text itself, including the literary themes of the Persian text, as well as an analysis of the role and voice of the narrator. Dr Mohammad Poor also explained the poetic, spiritual and philosophical traditions, which have influenced the style and content of the Persian text.
Dr Shabnum Tejani, of SOAS, framed the discussions to help the audience better understand the book's purpose, as well as some of the key themes and events recounted in the manuscript.
Speeches: Aga Khan III and IV

Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has been granted full planning permission by Westminster City Council to construct two new three-tier stands to replace the existing Compton and Edrich Stands. The redevelopment of the stands at Lord's Cricket Ground forms the second phase of the ground's updated Masterplan.
The designs by double Stirling Prize winners WilkinsonEyre, who are responsible for the current refurbishment of the Grade II*-listed Battersea Power Station, will remain consistent with the overall architectural identity of Lord's and the 'village cricket green' ethos, whilst working to improve the overall harmony of the north-east end of the ground. The plans include much needed upgraded amenities. There are currently no facilities within the existing stands, with poor sightlines in the lower tiers. The new designs include integrated catering and WC facilities, and vastly improved sightlines for the seats in the lower levels which will substantially improve the spectator experience. The seating capacity of the new stands will be increased by around 2,500, accommodating 11,500 spectators overall, which will enable MCC to better satisfy the demand for tickets from the general public, and there will also be wheelchair-accessible spaces as well as lift access at all levels.
Construction is due to commence after the completion of this summer's major matches on 24th August 2019. The rapid-build design sequence has been developed to minimise interruption to match fixtures, with the new stands' seats due to be ready for use during the 2020 season. Fully fitted-out facilities are scheduled to be completed for the summer of 2021. The stands are anticipated to cost in the region of £50m.

Money laundering has been a problem in the financial industry since the concept of banking first originated. Though society and banking technology have changed substantially from the first currencies, money laundering remains a lingering issue that today's credit unions must contend with.
PricewaterhouseCoopers reported that around $1-2 trillion laundered every year. Yet, less than 1 percent of that money is recovered by authorities.
The scope and persistence of money laundering has forced regulatory agencies to crack down on financial institutions for their anti-money laundering compliance and policies. Just in the first few months of 2017, multiple financial institutions have been fined for mistakes made within their operations regarding compliance.
Western Union Financial Services, for example, agreed to pay $586 million for violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, according to the Alabama Bankers Association Board. In another case, Merchants Bank of California was fined $7 million for AML discrepancies, American Banker reported.
To avoid hefty penalties – or worse – criminal activity being conducted through your institution – all credit unions must review their AML compliance initiatives and work to ensure they are robust enough to satisfy the requirements laid out in BSA and to catch misdoing when it occurs.
FinOps Report explained that financial institutions should file a Suspicious Activity Report when they have reason to believe that illegal activity could be happening – not necessarily when they know something illegal is happening.
"Regulators won't penalize banks and others for filing too many SARs, but they won't hesitate to penalize them if they miss illegal activity," Aaron Kahler, managing director of AML Compliance Advisors in New York, told FinOps Report.
For some financial institutions, though, they're far from over-reporting. PricewaterhouseCoopers found that more than one-fourth of financial service firms have yet to assess their AML compliance. However, the agency predicts an increase in compliance spending, growing to more than $8 billion in 2017.
While under-reporting suspicious activity is something your credit union should avoid, it's important to mitigate over-reporting as well. In a guest post for Datavisor, Keith Furst, the founder of Data Derivatives, explained that false positives create more work for a financial institution, often to the detriment of the employees who sift through the reports.
"A bank can only investigate so many alerts and still conduct effective investigations," Furst argued in his post.
Additionally, the more false positives an institution turns up, the less urgency a real issue will create – and the bigger the probability of it flying under the institution's radar.
Speaking with FinOps, AML compliance officers in New York said they estimate about one-fifth of SARs are unnecessary. In the seven years from 2006 and 2013, SARs increased nearly 50 percent to just under 1 million.
Avoiding false positives is something that should begin with the onboarding process for new members. The better the information you have on your members, they more likely you are to recognize abnormal behavior. An inaccurate risk profile could either call unnecessary attention to completely legal transactions, or allow illegal activities to go undetected.
In addition to filing accurate data for new members from the get-go, credit unions should also have a transaction monitoring system that is tailored to the institution's unique needs.
Thresholds and qualifications for a report should be set according to the credit union's own products and services, and should reflect the member base. Additionally, supplementing a current TMS with software that uses artificial intelligence can improve efficiency and effectiveness of the system, David McLoughlin, the CEO of QuantaVerse, a AML transaction monitoring technology company in Pennsylvania, told FinOps Report.
It would behoove credit unions to be proactive about any compliance issues they may encounter in the future. Reaching out to regulators before there's a problem could help the institution bolster its AML efforts, explained Natasha Taft, who runs a consultancy firm in New York and has experience as a chief compliance officer for several foreign banks.
Anti-money laundering laws are nothing to take lightly. It's important that financial institutions do their part in identifying criminal activity when it occurs. To do this, it's crucial that credit unions have a strong TMS in place.

There should be a throwdown between the cooks from Safeco Field and Qwest Field.
The Mariners offer some of nation's most diverse ballpark menus from sushi to edamame boxes. Now come the Seahawks, who will roll out a new concession menu including a two-foot salmon sausage topped with basil cream cheese, capers, grilled red onions and served on a baguette.
The sausage will cost $28 and serves up to four people — or a left tackle.
The idea came from Jon Severson, executive chef of Levy Restaurants in Chicago, which oversees the concession menu at the Seahawk stadium as well as the menus at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Lambeau Field in Green Bay and Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Severson contracted Uli's Famous Sausage in Pike Place Market to make the two-foot dog, uh, fish at Qwest Field this season. "We wanted to come up with a 'Wow,' something that you couldn't get anywhere else," Severson said.
That salmon sausage will be sold at "Seattle dog" concession stand- between sections 133 and 137. A special hot dog will also be featured at every home game. Look out for a sirloin chili and cheese hot dog and a cheddar cheese dog with grilled onions in the coming weeks.
Other concession food to debut this season includes Barbacoa beef burrito with cilantro rice, pinto beans and jack cheese, ($8.75) and the Beef Stroganoff ($8.50).

Q: Fire window.open from alert popup I have an ajax command where on return I need to call window.open(url, '_blank'), and I run into cases were the browser blocks this call (returns null) which makes sense.
I understand I need a user action for that, and I'm ok with showing a modal 'Open in New tab' etc with an 'OK' button that will then do the window.open, however alert() does not have an onclick handler and so if I understand correctly will not work here.
What are my options ? do I have to code or bring a third party popup with an onclick to do this ? (any recommendations for one?)

A: This worked for me:
let openNewTab = function(){
  if(confirm("Open new tab?"))
  {
    window.open('https://www.google.com/', '_blank');
  }
}

Codepen link: https://codepen.io/jeff-tian/pen/bGGPzrX

A: Seems true. If you don't want to code a popup then you can use ant-design or Taro.
The Taro example here: https://pa-ca.me/pages/cards/cards

Code is here: https://github.com/Jeff-Tian/me/blob/654f7b144bf7fa82fc68e28320c51856d5f9b815/src/components/cards/index.tsx#L46
Basically try window.open first, then check error, if error then popup:
const url = ajax('url')
try {
  window.open(url)
}catch(ex){
  showPopup({onConfirm: ()=>window.open(url)})
}

Clinical psychologists positively impact individuals dealing with mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Many of their patients suffer from severe conditions. Clinical psychologists can diagnose and treat disorders with psychotherapy services.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), about 192,300 individuals work as psychologists in the United States. BLS projections indicate that number could increase by about 5,700 jobs — or about 3% — from 2019-29.
In order to become a licensed clinical psychologist, candidates need a master's degree in psychology and a doctorate. A master's in clinical psychology equips learners with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to become a psychologist.

Similarly, clinical psychologists bring home an annual average salary of about $80,600, according to PayScale data.
What can I do with a master's degree in clinical psychology?
Many graduates go on to become clinical psychologists, while others find jobs as school or career counselors, substance abuse counselors, counseling psychologists, forensic psychologists, and marriage and family therapists. Many go on to earn a doctoral degree in psychology, which can lead to careers as psychology professors or researchers at colleges and universities.

UPDATED: Court recommends life, 17 years no parole, for Foerster in Van Diest murder
Joint submission put forward for B.C. man, sentencing to continue June 5
Parker Crook
Jun. 4, 2018 7:30 a.m.
UPDATE: 4:30 p.m.
Armstrong is still reeling from the murder of Taylor Van Diest, the family and fellow Armstrong residents said on the steps of Vernon Law Courts Monday.
Matthew Foerster's thick-rimmed glasses framed his eyes, which were glued forward as he sat without moving while Crown and defence put forward a joint submission for life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 17 years. Foerster pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder in connection with the killing of Armstrong teen Taylor Van Diest in 2011.
"Armstrong will never be the same again because so many people who walk on Taylor's memorial trail and they find it a nice place to reflect about anything and everything and, of course, about Taylor and they do it in their own time and their own way. Perhaps not everyone feels that way, but indeed a lot of people," said Taylor's mother Marie Van Diest after defence and crown finished presenting their submissions.
At the sentencing hearing that started June 4, crown prosecutor Chris McPherson said that the murder of Van Diest altered the fabric of Armstrong for many.
"It has so adversely affected behaviours, trust, the entire nature of the small town of Armstrong, B.C.," he said.
In her victim impact statement, Armstrong resident Dorianne Kohl attested to that fact saying that grief "swept through citizens of the community like wildfire.
"It is a deep wound which created fear, and distrust among us. As a community, we have been scarred by the vicious attack.We continue to be haunted by this tragedy," Kohl said.
Van Diest had been walking to a Halloween party in Armstrong when she was attacked by Foerster near the railway tracks on Rosedale Avenue. Efforts were made to revive Van Diest, however, she later died of her injuries in Kelowna General Hospital Nov. 1.
"She was killed by Mr. Foerster and the cause of death was multiple blunt-force trauma wounds to the back of the head," McPherson said to a gallery of 30, including Van Diest's family and the parents of Foerster.

"She was still alive when she was found."
Van Diest, who was 18-years-old, had texted friends prior to the altercation, which the Crown suggested occurred at approximately 6 p.m. The contents of those text messages, McPherson said, were considered normal topics of conversation, until a text sent at 6:01 p.m. said that she was "being creeped."
"That text message is the last communication Van Diest ever sent," McPherson said.
Foerster was arrested in Ontario on April 4 in relation to the murder. He later confessed to hitting Van Diest multiple times with a flashlight.
"The killing itself was brutal, there's no other way to describe it," McPherson said. "He viciously hit Van Diest with the flashlight. It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole to say Foerster left her there to die."
Court heard that Van Diest and Foerster had never met prior to that night.
"These facts represent really the most terrifying act imaginable: murder by a complete stranger," McPherson said.
Van Diest's mother, Marie, recounted the last night she saw her daughter alive in her statement.
"I tell them I love them and to be safe," Van Diest said. "Little did I know Oct. 31 would be the last time I said this to Taylor.
"The hardest thing I ever had to do as a mother was to tell her twin sister Taylor is gone. There will always remain an empty chair where Taylor should have sat."
Defence lawyer Ken Beatch said, at the time of the incident, Foerster was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and had consumed vodka, beer, mushrooms and marijuana earlier that day.
"All his criminal activity has been fuelled by drugs and alcohol," Beatch said.
"When one first looks at this case, the first impression one has is that this is probably one of the worst cases one has seen. When one sits down with Foerster… there are many mitigating factors."
Beatch said Foerster has taken rehabilitative steps since the murder, including sobriety since his conviction, participation in Alcoholics Anonymous and three separate integrated correctional programs.
"All of his offences were shrouded in a cloud of alcohol and drugs," Beatch said.
However, McPherson said that this instance and two other matters for which Foerster was imprisoned are extreme results of alcohol or drug dependency.
While they cannot be used as evidence in this matter, McPherson said Foerster's past crimes denote a history of violence towards women.
In 2004, a then 18-year-old Foerster crept into the home of a young Cherryville woman, slammed her head against a wall and told her that he wanted her. He eventually left her alone when she screamed and said she thought she was going to pass out.
In 2005, Foerster went to a Kelowna escort agency, the Garden of Eden. There he grabbed a sex-trade worker by the hair and held a knife to her throat while she performed a sexual act. He also bound and raped the woman. This case and Van Diest's death were linked through DNA.
Foerster is serving a six-year jail sentence on both cases.
When Van Diest was attacked she scratched Foerster and his DNA was left under her fingernail. That DNA matched a sample taken from the sex-trade worker, all those years earlier and the cases were forever linked.
Since his arrest, Foerster has been downgraded to a medium-security inmate. Beatch said, in time, he will be classified as a minimum-security inmate.
"He is motivated to change. He does not want to be that person," Beatch said. "He regrets that day every day and has done so since then. This is a man who feels remorse, deep remorse."
Clad in blue jeans, a blue-collared shirt and white sneakers, Foerster stood, moving for the first time since the sentencing hearing began, to offer an apology to the family Monday.
"I'm so sorry that I have taken your loved one," Foerster said, reading from a written apology. "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel regret. I wish more than anything I could take back what I did."
Foerster was convicted of first-degree murder in 2014, but the Court of Appeal granted a retrial in 2017 based on an error in the trial judge's instructions to the jury.
The lesser charge essentially means that while Foerster knew his actions would kill Van Diest, he hadn't planned it in advance. And, more importantly, in this case, he didn't fatally injure her while trying to sexually assault her — the element Crown would need to prove for a first-degree conviction.
"This has created a gaping wound within me," Marie Van Diest said during her victim impact statement. "This sentencing is merely an act of adding salt to that wound."
Crown and defence have concluded their arguments and sentencing will continue June 5 at 11 a.m. in Vernon.
The sentencing hearing for a Cherryville man gets underway in Supreme Court in Vernon this (Monday) morning.
Matthew Foerster pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the killing of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest in 2011.
Van Diest had been walking to a party on Halloween night when she was attacked and assaulted by Foerster near the railway tracks on Rosedale Avenue. Van Diest died in Kelowna General Hospital Nov. 1.
Foerster was convicted of first-degree murder in 2014, but the Court of Appeal granted him a retrial in 2017 based on an error in the trial judge's instructions to the jury.
That new trial was scheduled for May, but Foerster agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder in March in a deal the Van Diest family said had been struck months prior.
The lesser charge essentially means that while Foerster knew his actions would kill Van Diest, he hadn't planned it in advance. And, more importantly, in this case, he didn't fatally injure her while trying to sexually assault her—the element Crown would need to prove for a first-degree conviction.
The Van Diest family told media after Foerster pleaded guilty to second-degree murder that Crown will be asking for a sentence of 17 years but there is a chance the judge can hand down a steeper sentence.
Today's hearing begins at 10 a.m.

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has today published a White Paper proposing major reforms to Malta's Gaming Legal Framework.
The main objective behind this proposed overhaul is to repeal all the existing legislation and replace it with a singular primary Act of Parliament entitled the Gaming Act, together with subsidiary legislation covering horizontally the main areas of regulation, as well as a series of directives and guidelines issued by the Malta Gaming Authority as the single regulator of this sector.
The proposed regulatory framework empowers the MGA to be more agile in its decision-making and decreases unnecessary regulatory burdens that are not conducive to the regulatory objectives, while concurrently strengthening supervision and focusing the regulator's efforts on the areas that present a higher risk profile. Furthermore, the reform proposes the enhancement of best-in-class consumer protection standards, responsible gaming measures, a risk-based approach towards regulation and wider powers for the MGA in compliance and enforcement. It also establishes objective-orientated standards to encourage innovation and development.
These proposals are underpinned by a number of initiatives that have been undertaken throughout the preparatory period for this proposed legal overhaul, including various public consultations, technical studies and economic and financial impact assessments. They also reflect the experience that the MGA has garnered from years of experience regulating the sector. Concurrently, the proposals embrace a forward-looking regulatory ethos that seeks to ensure that regulation can cater for new potential sectors while reacting proportionately to societal risks.
The white paper can be accessed from the Malta Gaming Authority website. Queries and requests for clarifications with respect to the content of the document, as well as contributions/feedback from interested parties may be sent by email.

Amazon AWS unit pushes for NZ start-up business
Call it the Xero effect if you like. A tech boom is underway in New Zealand. The start-up scene has been active since Rod Drury and Xero showed it is possible to take on the world with a locally developed product. The NBR frets that we could even be seeing a bubble. Whatever the effect on the investment sector, the wave of new companies is attracting overseas attention. This week, Amazon Web Services is in town promoting itself as the first port of call for startups wanting hosting and other cloud services.
Last month AWS boosted its new company offer with the launch of AWS Activate. It is a bundle of services for startups providing training, user support, a community forum and credits for services. At least some services are free for qualifying startups.
Underlining the new push, AWS country manager Ed Lenta reminded journalists at a media briefing that tech start-ups were among the company's first customers when it began selling cloud services in 2006. Now he has the wave of new technology companies coming out of New Zealand in his sights.
Computing on a tight budget
Lenta's sales pitch is straightforward. Start-ups have few funds and there are better ways of spending the money they can raise than buying expensive capital equipment like servers. In fact, he says today's venture capital investors are unlikely to open their cheque books if start-ups propose to buy technology infrastructure.
Illustrating this point Robert Coup, co-founder of Auckland-based Koordinates, says there was no money when his company started in 2007. "We needed to scale our costs when we started. Then we found it easy to grow organically". Earlier this year Koordinates moved its entire infrastructure to AWS's Sydney-based operation.
Lenta's presentation included a veiled dig at the opposition: "We've had feedback from startups that says they want flexibility to run the best apps, frameworks, operating systems and tools".
Most of AWS' competitors have little visibility in New Zealand. The clear exception is Microsoft with its Azure cloud. The software giant also chases startups with its BizSpark programme.
AWS means equal footing
Lenta says AWS puts the smallest startups on an equal footing with large corporations using cloud services. He says: "They have access to the same services, the same levels of security as large customers. We make no differentiation between customers".
Another selling point is that AWS can give New Zealand startups a global footprint. This last point was picked up by IceHouse CEO Andy Hamilton who says early access to global markets is particularly important for New Zealand startups. It can also help disguise the fact a product or service is delivered from a company in small country far from the biggest markets.
Hamilton says another feature of AWS making it attractive to New Zealand companies is that it gives companies here better access to tech talent in other countries.
Amazon's AWS cloud business says it is looking to win over more of the 500 tech startups formed in New Zealand every year.


If you have cycled in France, or even if you haven't, then you should come here to Loire valley and plan to spend a week cycling through the Loire valley. There are many places that you could stop at one the way. The vineyards here are a place that you must visit. Treat yourself to a nice comfortable room in a warm medieval town. You may want to appreciate the artful objects that are on display at the chateaux.
The restaurants here are amazing, so don't hesitate to stop by. Select from a cuisine of delightful dishes ask the chef for the special of the day. Many of the restaurants here have open terraces which give you amazing view of nearby buildings are sceneries if there happens to be one. Some of them even face the river valley and offers spectacular views of it.
This route leaves tours and also follows a turn around Bois.
Let us start the first day with Tours. The trains here are bike friendly. It is easy to take your bicycle from Paris to Tours. Although, if you don't really want to buy a bike then it is perfectly alright as you can also rent one from the many shops here. You could also go and visit the local cathedral is known for being very scenic.
You should go cycling out to the west out of Tours and into Saint Gwnouph. There is this cross over that goes over the river Cher all the way to Savonieres. This goes all the way through the Chateau de Vilandry and all of its gardens. This stretch is about twenty kilo meters long.
The gardens here in Vilandry are beautiful and they date all the way back to the sixteen hundred. This was the time of the renaissance. These are known to be so beautiful as to steal away the pomp of the actual castle.
The garden is essentially spread across three levels. These spread to the south and west of the house as well. The hedges here are styled in a boxed fashion.
After you cycle about twelve kilo meters to the south, you reach the chateau le Rideau. This is one of the regions most famous chateaus that is photogenic and looks familiar like the ones in books and fairytales. This place is in the Indre River and is made in a very stylistic renaissance fashion. The décor on the inside can be described as impressive and sumptuous with large spiral staircases and grand tapestries.
You should set out for a long cycle ride which leaves from the Rideau and goes all the way to the Chateau de Chenonceaux. This place has many arched bridges that seem almost mirrored to perfection in the Cher River. This apparently is one of the most enduring and touching sceneries of the entire Loire valley. The castle is made in classic gothic style mixed with renaissance style architecture. This structure has rounded towers and windows that are arched. These offer beautiful views of rivers and gardens.
From Blere, go ahead for about twelve kilometers and you will come across the most scenic back road in the entire valley. This place has a town called Loire which has an amazing chateau. The chateau d' Amboise is supposed to be the burial ground of the legendary Leonardo Da Vinci. When Leonardo da Vinci came here as a guest to the king Francis in the fifteenth century, that is when he worked and lived close to the Luce. This used to be connected to the Chateau by a secret underground passage.
From here you could go to the Chaumont. This chateau dates back all the way to the fourteenth century. This is why the appearance is medieval. This was it has remnants of the renaissance style. Catherine de medici used to own the castles most famous owner. This place was bought in the year eighteen fifty.
This place has had several visitors. People like Nostradamus and Benjamin Franklin have come here. This place has been taken over by the government and turned into a museum.
There is an ancient viaduct in Chaumont which you should definitely check out before traveling towards Blois. Once you come here, the terrain become more diverse, you will be able to find many shops and restaurants on the way. All this is place has charming feel to it like as though you are in a European adventure.
Since this place is a large hug, it is a common place to find many cyclists going about doing their business.

Philippe-Antoine Merlin, known as Merlin de Douai (, 30 October 1754 – 26 December 1838) was a French politician and lawyer.

Personal and public life

Early years
Merlin de Douai was born at Arleux, Nord, and was called to the Flemish bar association in 1775. He collaborated in the Répertoire de jurisprudence, the later editions of which appeared under Merlin's superintendence, and contributed to other important legal compilations. In 1782 he purchased a position as royal secretary at the chancellery of the Flanders parlement.  His reputation spread to Paris and he was consulted by leading magistrates.  The Duke of Orléans selected him to be a member of his privy council.

As an elected member of the States-General for the Third Estate in Douai, he was one of the chief of those who applied the principles of liberty and equality embodied in the National Constituent Assembly's Tennis Court Oath of 4 August 1789.

Career
On behalf of the committee, appointed to deal with Ancien Régime nobility rights, Merlin de Douai presented to the Assembly reports on manorialism and the subjects of redistribution with compensation, and topics associated with that (hunting and fishing rights, forestry, etc.). He carried legislation for the abolition of primogeniture, secured equality of inheritance between relatives of the same degree, and between men and women. He also prepared the report for the Assembly which argued that no compensation should be paid to the German princes whose lands in Alsace were forfeit when France incorporated them.

His numerous reports were supplemented by popular exposition of current legislation in the Journal de legislation. On the dissolution of the Assembly, he became judge of the criminal court at Douai.

Convention
Although not always an advocate of violent measures, as deputy to the National Convention with The Mountain, Merlin de Douai voted for the execution of King Louis XVI, and then, as a member of the council of legislation, he presented to the Convention the Law of Suspects (17 September 1793), permitting the detention of suspects, (a document backed by Georges Couthon and Maximilien Robespierre). He exercised missions in his native region, and accused General Charles François Dumouriez of having betrayed the country during the Campaign of the Low Countries (after the battle of Neerwinden).

Merlin de Douai was closely allied with his namesake Merlin of Thionville and, after the start of the Thermidorian Reaction which brought about the fall of Robespierre in 1794, he became president of the Convention and a member of the Committee of Public Safety. His efforts were primarily directed to the prevention of any new gathering of powers by the Jacobin Club, the Commune, and the Revolutionary Tribunal.

Merlin de Douai convinced the Committee of Public Safety to agree with the closing of the Jacobin Club, on the ground that it was an administrative rather than a legislative measure. Merlin de Douai recommended the readmission of the survivors of the Girondin party to the Convention, and drew up a law limiting the right of insurrection; he had also a considerable share in the foreign policy of the French Republic.

Merlin de Douai had been commissioned in April 1794 to report on the civil and criminal legislation of France, and, after eighteen months work, he produced the Rapport et projet de code des délits et des peines (10 Vendémiaire, an IV). Merlin's code abolished confiscation, branding, and life imprisonment, and was based chiefly on the penal code drawn up in September 1791.

Directory
He was made Minister of Justice (30 October 1795) and later Minister of the General Police (2 January 1796) under the Directory, before moving back to the Justice Ministry (3 April 1796) keeping tight surveillance of the Royalist émigrés. After the coup d'état known as 18 Fructidor, he became one of the five Directors on 5 September 1797. He was accused of the bankruptcy and various other failures of the government and was forced to retire into private life during the Coup of 30 Prairial VII on 18 June 1799.

Consulate and Empire
Merlin de Douai had no share in Napoleon Bonaparte's 18 Brumaire coup. Under the Consulate, Merlin de Douai accepted a minor position in the Cour de cassation, where he soon became procureur-général (Attorney General). Although he had no share in drawing up the Napoleonic code, he was very involved in matters regarding its application. He became a member of the Conseil d'État, Count of the Empire, and Grand Officier de la Légion d'honneur.

Exile and the July Monarchy
Having resumed his functions during the Hundred Days, he was one of those banished on the Second Bourbon Restoration.

The years of Merlin de Douai's exile were devoted to his Répertoire de jurisprudence (5th ed., 18 vols., Paris, 1827–1828) and to his Recueil alphabétique des questions de droit (4th ed., 8 vols., Paris, 1827–1828). At the 1830 July Revolution, he was able to return to France, and re-entered the Institut de France, of which he had been an original member, being admitted to the Academy of Political and Moral Sciences by the Orléans Monarchy. Merlin de Douai died in Paris.

Personal life
Merlin de Douai's son, Antoine François Eugène Merlin (1778–1854), was a well-known general in the French army, and served through most of the Napoleonic Wars.

Home Special Features Guest Commentary A Victory for Voters (But Not In Hawaii, Unfortunately)
A Victory for Voters (But Not In Hawaii, Unfortunately)
Malia Hill
BY MALIA HILL – Ballotpedia tells us that pretty much the last time the initiative and referendum process got any support from the major parties in Hawaii was in 1907.
That's when the Democratic Territorial Convention passed a resolution in favor of Initiative and Referendum. The sentiment didn't last.
Since then, both parties have been hostile to the notion, and multiple efforts (including one at the 1978 constitutional convention) to include a referendum process in the state constitution have come to naught.
Of course, we, the public, still occasionally get to vote on things that the legislature refers to us, but our ability to generate ballot initiatives is limited and controlled by the legislature, and ergo, the major parties.
Other states have all sorts of referendum rights, and are working to expand the influence of voter initiatives. Perhaps we can take some inspiration from the recent federal court victory that knocked down yet another obstacle to petitions, which are one of the best checks that the People can hold over government excesses:
Paul Jacob, president of Citizens in Charge, a national voter rights group focused on the ballot initiative and referendum process, applauded yesterday's federal court ruling striking down Nebraska's restriction on non-resident petition circulators in the case Citizens in Charge v. Gale.
In his ruling, Judge Joseph Bataillon found that prohibiting non-residents from collecting signatures harmed the ability of citizens to use the state's initiative, referendum, recall, and minor political party ballot access systems by substantially increasing the cost. The judge noted that no measure had made the state ballot "since the restriction had been put in place."
"Nebraska is unique in that the people, through the initiative, make up the second chamber of the legislature," Jacob pointed out. "For one chamber to so restrict and hamper the other that it can't even function is unprecedented. Judge Bataillon's ruling is a big victory for Nebraska voters."
Jacob was disappointed that Judge Bataillon did not strike down the "scarlet letter" provision that requires petition forms to have printed in bold red type whether the petition is being circulated by a paid person or a volunteer. Ruling in a separate case, Bernbeck v. Gale, Judge Bataillon upheld a provision of state election law banning pay based on the number of signatures gathered, citing a prior ruling in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Unfortunately, the ban on productivity pay remains a substantial barrier to any Nebraskan petitioning her or his government, dramatically increasing the cost and difficulty," Jacob added. "A similar law in Colorado has been enjoined by a federal judge as likely to be found unconstitutional."

Home » Easy Tips For A Better Financial Life Today!
When you first enter the real world, it's easy to waste your money on meals out or a trip to the bar. Rather that doing that, be financially responsible and avoid debt.
Do not waste your money on products or services that promise instant gratification and miraculous results. A lot of Internet marketers get deceived by this trap. While it's important to increase your knowledge, rather than spending a lot of money, learn more through actually working.
Purchasing bulk lean protein allows you to conserve valuable time and money. But it is only inexpensive if you actually use all that you buy. Grill up plenty of chicken in advance, then you'll have it ready for several days' worth of quick meals.
Be prepared by having the correct health insurance policy at hand. Unfortunately, everyone falls ill at one time or another. Because of this, you should be sure that your health insurance leaves you protective. Bills for medical care can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. If you aren't insured, you will be paying a large amount of money.
If you're in a marriage, which ever one of you has the strongest credit rating should be the one applying for any loans and credit cards. If you have bad credit, take the time to build it with a credit card that you pay off regularly. You can share debt more equally with your spouse once you've improved your credit score.
Open a new savings account at your bank, and deposit money into it on a regular basis. Socking away money in advance means you have to rely less on credit when disaster strikes. What you save does not have be a large amount, but always put something in the account each month. Even saving a little bit each month adds up over time.
Try to negotiate some options when a debt collector contacts you for a payment. They most likely bought your debt from the original company for a much lower price. Even if you only pay a little bit of the debt you owe, they profit. Use this fact to your advantage and negotiate a lower settlement.
A garage sale is something that you can have to get rid of some things you don't need and can make you money too. Those who make friends easily may be able to convince neighbors to let them sell their unwanted items for just a small fee. You can get as creative as you would like with a garage sale.
A sale is not a bargain if you end up having to buy more groceries than you need. You are only saving money if you are actually using what you purchased; it doesn't matter if it came in bulk or on sale if you waste it. Shop for bargains, and don't be afraid to buy 10 pounds of peanut butter if your family loves it, but use common sense.
Avoid incurring large debt through student loans, unless you are sure you can handle it in the not too distant future. Going to expensive private schools when you are unsure of what major to take could cause you a lot in the long run.
Save on Christmas gifts by making presents instead of spending money. This will reduce the amount that you spend in department stores, and can save you hundreds of dollars during the holiday season. A little creativity can reduce your costs, which will help you make progress on increasing your net worth.
A good strategy is to make use of automatic withdrawals in order to pay your bills in a timely manner. At first you may not like doing this, but after a while it will seem like another bill you have to pay. This will allow you to save quite a bit in a short period of time.
The fastest track to wealth is the one where you spend less money than you earn. People who always spend every last dollar or always have to borrow extra cannot possibly become rich due to their poor spending habits. Determine how much money you have coming in every month, and make sure your expenditures don't exceed this amount.
Avoid becoming overwhelmed with debt and a larger pile of unpaid bills each month, by creating a budget and shopping list that makes the most of your income each month. Put the advice from this article into use and you will find your finances will get on track and stay there.

A longitudinal analysis of women's salivary testosterone and intrasexual competitiveness
Amanda C. Hahn, Claire I. Fisher, Kelly D. Cobey, Lisa M. DeBruine, Benedict C. Jones
Research on within-subject changes in women's intrasexual competitiveness has generally focused on possible relationships between women's intrasexual competitiveness and estimates of their fertility. While this approach is useful for testing hypotheses about the adaptive function of changes in women's intrasexual competitiveness, it offers little insight into the proximate mechanisms through which such changes might occur. To investigate this issue, we carried out a longitudinal study of the hormonal correlates of changes in intrasexual competitiveness in a large sample of heterosexual women (N=136). Each woman provided saliva samples and completed an intrasexual competitiveness questionnaire in five weekly test sessions. Multilevel modeling of these data revealed a significant, positive within-subject effect of testosterone on intrasexual competitiveness, indicating that women reported greater intrasexual competitiveness when testosterone was high. By contrast, there were no significant effects of estradiol, progesterone, estradiol-to-progesterone ratio, or cortisol and no significant effects of any hormones on reported relationship jealousy. This is the first study to demonstrate correlated changes in measured testosterone levels and women's reported intrasexual competitiveness, implicating testosterone in the regulation of women's intrasexual competitiveness.

N2 - Research on within-subject changes in women's intrasexual competitiveness has generally focused on possible relationships between women's intrasexual competitiveness and estimates of their fertility. While this approach is useful for testing hypotheses about the adaptive function of changes in women's intrasexual competitiveness, it offers little insight into the proximate mechanisms through which such changes might occur. To investigate this issue, we carried out a longitudinal study of the hormonal correlates of changes in intrasexual competitiveness in a large sample of heterosexual women (N=136). Each woman provided saliva samples and completed an intrasexual competitiveness questionnaire in five weekly test sessions. Multilevel modeling of these data revealed a significant, positive within-subject effect of testosterone on intrasexual competitiveness, indicating that women reported greater intrasexual competitiveness when testosterone was high. By contrast, there were no significant effects of estradiol, progesterone, estradiol-to-progesterone ratio, or cortisol and no significant effects of any hormones on reported relationship jealousy. This is the first study to demonstrate correlated changes in measured testosterone levels and women's reported intrasexual competitiveness, implicating testosterone in the regulation of women's intrasexual competitiveness.

A merger between Fianna Fáil and the SDLP represent a gamble for both parties but it appears that the leadership on each side has come to the conclusion that the opportunities outweigh the risks. A formal announcement is expected in the coming months.
What is described as a phased process leading to integration has some obvious attractions for the SDLP. The party's fortunes have been in steady decline for the past 20 years and there must be serious doubts about its ability to survive in the long term without a dramatic change of direction.
Back in 1998, the year of the Good Friday Agreement, the SDLP won 24 seats compared to Sinn Féin's 18 in the Northern Assembly elections. Last year Sinn Féin won 27 seats, while the SDLP won just 12. Westminster election results have been even more stark. In 1998 the SDLP had three MPs, while Sinn Féin had two; now Sinn Féin has seven and the SDLP none.
While it clearly needs to do something radical there are internal voices of opposition with Fianna Fáil. The party has had a long-standing relationship with the Labour Party in the Republic and was a member of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament. More pertinently John Hume always sought to keep the SDLP out of party politics in the Republic so that it could exercise maximum leverage with whoever was in government in Dublin.
However, the current dominance of Sinn Féin as the party of Northern nationalism means the days of SDLP influence in Dublin have long gone. It arguable that integration with Fianna Fáil will give it more clout in Dublin while being part of an all island political movement could lead to some revival of fortune in the North.
The increasingly obvious shortcomings of Sinn Féin have created an opening for a new departure. The absence of an administration at Stormont and Sinn Féin's abstentionist policy at Westminster have left Northern nationalism without a voice on the biggest issue to face this island in generations. There may never be a better opportunity for the SDLP to reinvent itself.
From a Fianna Fáil perspective, the attractions of a merger are not so clear. The party is already engaged in a bitter battle with Sinn Féin for votes in the Republic. Bringing the fight to the North, where Sinn Féin is well established as the leading nationalist force, could easily backfire.
The first hurdle for any new arrangement will be the local elections on both sides of the Border in May. Back in 2014 the SDLP won 66 council seats, compared to 105 for Sinn Féin. By contrast Fianna Fáil was the biggest party in the Republic with 267 seats in 2014 compared to 159 for Sinn Féin. This year's contest in both jurisdictions will be the definitive test for the planned merger.

You can catch up on our story from the beginning here.
I drove off in my car and called a friend that I trusted and knew would give wise counsel and asked him to meet me right away. I told him everything I knew and we talked about what we could do to get even. But the conversation quickly changed from getting even to salvaging a what was left of my marriage.
I guess I wanted a scapegoat, someone to carry the blame; and he seemed like the easiest target. And then I didn't have to deal with my bitterness…or forgive. The truth that took me some time to realize was that although it was easier to forgive my wife, he stood in the same need of grace as her. And the forgiveness wasn't for him, it was for me. I could give it or become consumed with a bitterness that grew until it wrecked my soul.
But all I know is that together, we invited Jesus right there into our mess. We wanted and needed Him there because the wounds were so deep and so painful that we knew we could never make it out of this with a marriage worth having in our own power. And as He faithfully does when we invite Him, He showed up and never left us alone.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespass as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever, Amen.
So am I better than Christ that I should be justified to withhold forgiveness and grace from someone who has wronged me?
For me in our marriage, this was teaching me how to love my wife deeply, and have grace for her in a way that I never had to have before.
Yet that truth spoke to me in a new way that I had not truly understood before now. How did Christ love the church who is His bride? He loved her so much that He gave up His place of honor in heaven to come down to serve her, and to die the most humiliating death on a cross to buy back the bride that had betrayed Him. My living example for how to be a husband willingly faced the full penalty for sins that weren't His own, and He never said a single word in His own defense. He didn't ask why, He didn't toss blame, He didn't run away….. He stayed and He loved her in her mess. He willingly gave up all of His rights to buy her back because she was His prize, His ultimate treasure.
Such an amazing testimony to how good God is! You allowed him to heal you and use your situation to strengthen your faith in Him and with each other. So beautifully written and what love you have for your wife! So thankful to have read your story!

What changes the effects of a brain injury?
On Behalf of The Lucky Law Firm, PLC | Sep 8, 2022 | Car Accidents |
Getting into a car crash often results in damage to the head, neck and back. Head injuries and brain trauma make up some of the most devastating car crash injuries that a person can experience, too.
These injuries are often hard to understand and predict. However, certain factors can help a victim anticipate what damages they may go through and what their recovery might look like.
Factors influencing injury effects
Mayo Clinic looks at traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can manifest differently depending on a number of factors, including:
The age and health of the victim
The speed at which both cars were traveling
The force behind the impact and its location
Whether or not the victim wore a seatbelt at the time of the crash
Other factors also have a hand in determining what effects a person may have to experience. One particularly overlooked one is the fact that the location of the injury on the brain can drastically change how someone may manifest symptoms.
For example, the frontal lobe controls memory codification and impulse control. Many people suffering from damage to this area grow more irritable and even lash out at others despite this seeming extremely out of character for them.
An unpredictable process
However, while it is possible to predict some of the potential effects with these factors, the healing process is not always so easy to guess. Even experts find themselves baffled by the trajectory some healing paths may take.
Early access to good medical care is one of the best ways to ensure that a victim has the greatest chance at a smooth recovery as possible.

We have seen ELCA leadership attempt to eliminate masculine pronouns when referring to God (see here, here and here).
Person One - posts that he - "(i)s unsure if Wartburg's conversion of me toward a posture of inclusive language about God is a blessing or a curse as I learn songs for VBS!!! I cringe every 4 seconds as I hear masculine pronouns!"
Person Two - "I do the same thing here during bible studies!!!"
Person Three - "YOU TOO!!!!! It's driving me NUTS! Hahahaha...funny thing is I NEVER thought it would."
It is interesting how removing masculine pronouns for God is called "inclusive."
So sad. I suppose they cringe every time they read Scripture as well. What a truly silly and idiotic practice.
Also, our full communion partner, the United Churches of Christ recently deleted "Father" from it's statement of faith in its own constitution.

TURISAS: New Song Posted Online
Finnish "pagan battle metal" act TURISAS have set a July 26 release date through Century Media Records for their debut album, "Battle Metal".
"Battle Metal" was produced by Terje Refsnes (TRISTANIA, MORGUL) at Sound Suite Studios in Marseiile, France, and "offers the most precious ingredients of epic viking metal, almost sounding like a mixture of bands such as IN EXTREMO, FALKENBACH, NIGHTWISH and FINNTROLL," according to an official press release. Check out the title track in Real Audio format at this location.
Commented frontman Warlord Nygård: "Finally, after years of work we have something to present to all the people who have stood by our side so far and to all the ones to whom TURISAS is/will be an interesting newcomer. 'Battle Metal' is — as almost all debut albums tend to be — a collection of songs written during a six-year period between the founding year 1997 and 2003, but it doesn't suffer from the usual unevenness common to most debuts. From the first second to the last, 'Battle Metal' is powerful orchestrations, catchy folkishness and the glory and the brutality of the battlefields — all bound together by an open-minded approach and pure progressiveness. This album is definitely something fresh in the whole scene and we hope you will find it as powerful and inspiring as we do ourselves."
"Battle Metal" track listing:
01. Victoriae & Triumphi Dominus (1:28)
02. As Torches Rise (4:51)
03. Battle Metal (4:23)
04. The Land Of Hope And Glory (6:22)
05. The Messenger (4:42)
06. One More (6:50)
07. Midnight Sunrise (6:14)
08. Among Ancestors (4:02)
09. Sahti-Waari (2:28)
10. Prologue for R.R.R. (3:09)
11. Rex Regi Rebellis (7:10)
12. Katuman Kaiku (2:22)

Sherpas' Burden
Nepal | 2005
Few expeditions up Mount Everest would succeed without the help of the Sherpas. But their contribution has been largely overlooked.
Dismantling Democracy
Nation-building is the 21st century's buzzword. But it is less often we hear about democratic systems being dismantled. In February, King Gyanendra of Nepal seized back his country's fledgling democracy, reverting to an autocracy. He claimed democratic parties had done nothing to prevent the crippling Maoist insurgency and promised a renewed 'War on Terror'. But since his take-over, it is le...
Fighting the Maoists
King Gyanendra has been widely criticised for dismissing the government in Nepal and declaring a state of emergency. But his supporters claim he was forced to do this to fight the Maoists.

Jamie Lalonde was a much heralded recruit that had an extremely successful high school career at Sir Allan MacNab in Hamilton. After spending his freshman year at another OUA school, Lalonde played and started at center for Laurier from 2014 to 2016. He was part of an underrated offensive line that lead the way for Dillon Campbell to lead the nation in rushing in 2014 and 2015. As well, he anchored the group that lead the nation in team rushing yards in 2016. During that season, he was selected a 2nd team OUA All Star. Most importantly, he won a Yates Cup. Since 2017, Lalonde has been the Offensive Coordinator at Clarkson Football North.

Kojo Millington played defensive end for Laurier from 1997 to 2000. In 1999, he was the OUA Lineman of the Year, a 1st Team OUA All Star, and a 1st Team All Canadian. He was also the Team MVP. In 2000, he was a 1st Team OUA All Star and a 2nd Team All Canadian. He was a Laurier HOF inductee in 2007, and in 2011 he was selected as part of the Laurier Team of the Century.
Talks with Hawks: Episode 25 – Jesse and Josh Alexander
by laurierfootball	on November 6, 2020 November 6, 2020
The Alexanders were a couple of local guys who had distinguished careers at Laurier. Josh played D-Line from 2000 to 2003 and was a 2nd team OUA All star once and a 1st team OUA All Star twice. Later on, he coached O-Line and special teams at WLU. Jesse played from 2002 to 2006. He was a two time OUA champion and a key member of the 2005 Vanier Cup squad. In 2004, he was a 1st team OUA All Star and a 2nd team All Canadian. In 2006, he was a 1st team OUA and 1st team All Canadian. During that year, he was also selected the Team MVP, the WLU Athlete of the Year, and the OUA Defensive MVP. In 2011, he was inducted into the Laurier Hall of Fame. As if that wasn't enough, he was selected to the Laurier Team of the Century as well. Jesse is currently in his 2nd stint coaching at WLU after brief stops at York and Windsor. I met them in 2011 and I consider them both to be good friends. When Jesse left WLU after the 2016 Yates Cup win, I threw a goodbye party for him at the Huether Hotel. Access to the party room was delayed by, of all things, a Nerd Convention! Yes, you read that right! You can't make that kind of stuff up! It literally was an event with that specific title.
Chalk Talk: Episode 8 – The Support
Talks with Hawks: Episode 24 – The King City 4
by laurierfootball	on October 30, 2020 October 30, 2020
In 2011, I started to do some recruiting/scouting for Laurier Football. Driving around the GTA watching football games became a part of my life. A good friend and long- time football teammate of mine Brad Matwijec was coaching football up at King City. He told me I should come out and check out his team. He listed about a half dozen key players who he felt I should come look at. So, that year I probably went to see 3 or 4 of their games and there was some undeniable talent on that team. Sam Montazeri was a punishing linebacker, Darian Waite was a stud tailback who was easily won of the top running backs in the province, Taylor Caverley was a hard-hitting ballhawk at safety and a 2 time York Region Athlete of the Year, and Marcus Arkarakas was a pass catching machine. Montazeri and Waite started at Laurier in 2012 while Caverley and Arkarakas began their careers at WLU in 2013. All 4 of them played key roles for the Hawks in helping WLU win a provincial championship in 2016.
Talks with Hawks: Episode 23 – Sukhneet Kahlon
One of the best things about being part of such a large group as a football team is the number of diverse individuals that come together united in a common goal. Sukhneet Kahlon would be one of the first to admit that you don't find a lot of guys with his background on the gridiron, but that didn't stop him from pursuing his dreams. As a rookie who didn't get to dress in 2016, he was a part of a Yates Cup Championship team. Working harder as a sophmore, he got to dress twice, and in his final two years, he became a starter on the offensive line for the Golden Hawks. Recently, I was lucky to have the chance to talk to him about his playing days at Laurier, his faith, his experiences with racism, and his favourite football team (the Philadelphia Eagles).

Rosa Loy: Green Heart
9 September - 18 October 2014
Gallery Baton presents "Green Heart", the solo exhibition of internationally renowned painter Rosa Loy (b. 1958), from September 12th to October 18th at the Apgujeong-dong exhibit space.
Rosa stands as the main axis of NLS (New Leipzig School) which is evaluated as the 21st century's first bona fide artistic phenomenon and has attracted the attention of the international art market. She was also the wife of Neo Rauch (b. 1960) who is ranked as a globally celebrated artist.
Rosa depicts women. While Edgar Degas (1834-1917) depicted women engrossed in something like dance, and Lisa Yuskavage (b. 1962) emphasized social conformity or natural characteristics of women like those revealing voluptuous bodies with erotic expressions on their faces, Rosa depicts women in her paintings as full of self-confidence or active subjects who are in the center of the action. Dominating the center of the scene, the characters are wearing colorful costumes or working cloths and are doing something with confident expression and behavior. This conspicuous depiction portrays the artist's interpretation of women as those who actively pursue the realization of their dreams and those who aid each other in living an independent life. In particular, this approach presents privately but more strongly the feministic element at the forefront. For example, in her works the subject that helps female is another female being, the pursuit of beauty is self-satisfactory, and she is depicted as the principal agent of labor and active pioneer.
Through a fascinating device of women, Rosa releases her own unique painting style, mixing selectively the regional characteristics and historical background of Leipzig that had formally been East German area, tangible and intangible relics of the communist era and fantasy, the heritage of Socialist Realism, Freudianism and Feminism. Arrangement of figures and objects in a way that is difficult to tell the story, ambiguity of time and space, detailed description of the subject from observation, unique delicacy, mystery, romance, and femininity suffer nothing by comparison when showing why she is positioned as the key artist of NLS.
Born in Leipzig in 1958, Rosa Loy completed her BFA and MFA at the Academy of Visual Art in Leipzig. She participated in numerous exhibitions in various art museums around the world in the topic of Leipzig painters, such as the joint exhibition <Behind the Gardens, 2011> with Neo Rauch at ESSL Museum in Austria. In addition, her works are included as the collection of major art institutions and organizations like MoMA, MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art, LA.), and Deutsche Bank Collection.
Rosa Loy's "Green Heart" will be presented at Gallery Baton Apgujeong-dong space from September 12th to October 18th, and an opening reception will take place on September 12th at 6pm with the artist. - GB –
