Sam Hird has not been taken by surprise at Chesterfield's decision not to offer him a new deal.
The defender, who joined the Spireites in June 2012 and made over 200 Football League appearances, admits the injury that ended his season and his wages were probably factors the club took into consideration.

And while he suspected the club would look to go in a different direction, he too had begun to think about a move from the Proact.
That doesn't mean it's not an emotional exit for the 30-year-old.
"I've been there such a long time now, it's upsetting really," he said.
"I'm upset for the club, where they find themselves.
"It's a shame.
"When you've been there six years, had some great successes, met some great people, it's such a shame to be leaving on a low point.
"I'm devastated that I've not been able to keep them up.
"For me it's gutting to see where they are from the success they've had.
"At the end of the day we've gone from being the most successful teams in the last 37 years, in terms of league position, to being in the National League and that's a travesty.
"I genuinely hope they can turn it around.
Hird's departure, which was announced today at the same time as the exits of good friend and defensive partner Ian Evatt and fellow stalwart Drew Talbot, was something he saw coming.
George Smith lifts the lid on his frustration during the 2018/19 season at Chesterfield
"Am I surprised? No. The injury I've had, my operation, from the club's point of view I understand that.
"It was frustrating to get the injury, it kept me out for just over half the season and I wasn't able to help keep them in the league.
"If a few of us had been fit, I do believe we would have been able to help the gaffer and his staff to do that.
"My wage will be an issue, being injured will be an issue, they probably want to take a different approach regarding players and budget.
"Different things to do with a contract were discussed, but it was agreed that moving forward it was best for both parties if I left."
Success is something Hird can say he tasted as a Spireite, winning a League Two title in 2013/14 and reaching the League One play-offs the following season.
That was part of his decision to stay when other clubs came knocking.
"At different stages there were opportunities to go elsewhere, just like most footballers.
"I stayed for a few reasons. I loved my time at the club, we've had some great success, promotions, winning trophies, I've met some great people and I think the club have looked after me.
"The promotion from League Two and getting to the play-offs in the team we had that season were particular highs.
"Chesterfield Football Club are never going to be in a position to pay enormous amounts of money but in lots of other ways the club have looked after me and I like to think I have repaid that with consistent performances, being part of a successful team, doing my job on the pitch.
"The last 18 months haven't been great, I've had injuries, and if I would have been fit and a number of other players, things might have been different. That's the way it is though."
Although he's earned veteran status, thanks to 365 league appearances since his professional career began in 2006 with Doncaster Rovers, Hird is still relatively young in playing terms and feels he has a lot more to give.
He certainly doesn't feel his days as a Football League player are over.
"I'm not one of these footballers who'd say anything other than the truth.
"If I'm honest, since I started to build up my fitness and where the club find themselves, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't started to think about myself and my career.
"I do believe I can play at a higher level, I've proved that in my career.
"Every player wants to play as high as he can for as long as he can."
He's typically honest in his assessment of his relationship with the supporters of the club he's leaving, supporters he had to work hard to impress.
"Football fans at any club can be fickle, but in general Chesterfield supporters have been very supportive of me.
"I had to work hard at the beginning to win them over. When I first came to the club for the first six months I struggle with form.
"But I won them back over with consistent performances and hard work and proved what a good player I can be.
"I like to think that over 240 or so games I've produced consistent performances."
Of the three departures announced today, Hird's is perhaps the most understandable and he appears to be packing his bags on good terms.
The centre-half, who has aspirations of becoming a manager one day and has begun taking his coaching badges, hopes the club will bounce back from their second consecutive relegation.
"I would like to thank the club, the chairman, the supporters and everyone around the club, the kitchen staff, cleaners, kit men, there's some great people there and I wish them all the best.
"I just hope whichever way they choose to go with a new manager that the club is successful.
"I'll always look out for them and maybe sometime in the future I might end up back there."

Amazon hires Thomson, former DOT general counsel, to fill new legal role
E-tailer Amazon.com, Inc. has hired Kathryn B. Thomson, a former general counsel at the Department of Transportation and former chief counsel at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), to fill the newly created post of vice president and associate general counsel, transportation, and logistics.
Thomson, who started at Seattle-based Amazon on Monday, will be the company's lead attorney on global and domestic transportation and logistics issues, she said in an e-mail. She will work with Amazon's operations and policy teams on legal matters relating to legislation, regulations, and general public policy development.
Thomson, 52, was DOT general counsel from May 2013 to May 2016. All told, she spent seven and a half years at the agency, which included her stint as FAA chief counsel. She served as counselor to then-Transport Secretary Ray LaHood on energy and climate change issues, and led DOT in working with the White House and Congress to set fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and trucks. During her time at FAA, the agency began work to integrate the use of drones into the national airspace system.
Thomson will divide her time between Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Thomson's new role could take on added prominence as Amazon builds a global transport and logistics infrastructure to handle the fulfillment and deliveries of its shipments and those of third-party merchants that rely on the company's fulfillment operations to get their goods to market.

Saving 18 Of Fair Park's Photographic Treasures
ArtandSeek.net March 22, 2021 12
During February's ice storm, 23 of the more than three dozen buildings in Fair Park experienced water damage, including the Cotton Bowl. But the worst to suffer was probably the Hall of State. The Art Deco masterpiece, which was built as a Texas showcase, was flooded all the way down to its basement auditorium
A month after the storm, fans and dehumidifiers were still running in the Hall of State, still drying it out.
The blackouts across Texas during the storm cut the power to Fair Park. So very early on February 17, a single, fire-suppression sprinkler froze in the Hall of State – and burst in the lobby, known as the Hall of Heroes.
"What happened was it sprayed across the Hall of Heroes," Karl Chiao said. He's the executive director of the Dallas Historical Society, which is headquartered in the hall. "And then the water pressure forced it to kinda daisy-chain and break the other sprinkler pipes that were up there."

Chiao points to where cascades of water broke chunks of plaster from the ceiling. The wooden walls are streaked – so are the historic murals that were painted in 1936 for the Texas Centennial. The initial estimate to repair all this is more than 3 million dollars.
The price tag's unfortunate because all this comes after a $14.41 million restoration of the building that was just completed in December. What's more, everything in the Hall of State, designed by modernist architect Donald Barthelme, Sr., was originally custom-built, hand-made. From the chandeliers and carved doors to the floor mosaics and the display cases — they're all works of art.
There is a small silver lining in all this, however – the rescue of some rare, fragile, often-overlooked artworks. Much of the attention has been on the very visible damage — flaking plaster, water-stained paneling — or the iconic historic items from the Dallas Historical Society's collection that got soaked, including John Neeley Bryan's Bible and Quanah Parker's leather bag, items that have been flash-dried to save them.
But this morning, three people trundled wood carts into the Great Hall; the carts are designed specifically to transport artworks: Ironically — or fortunately – the storm has triggered a rescue operation, a rescue operation that might have otherwise been delayed.
"Without water damage," said Lyzanne Gann, "we were thinking they had just sustained corrosion."

Gann was talking about the 18, large-scale orotones that lined the walls of the East Texas Room, the worst-damaged room in the building. Orotones are glass-plate photographs, and these were made by Polly Smith in 1935. Some had already become visibly spotted, but the idea was to start slowly, conserving one at a time. Then the walls got soaked and all the images were taken out of their built-in frames. Turns out, they need much more work than realized.
"Jobs of this scale," Gann said, "come along perhaps once or twice in a career of a conservator."
To gain a sense of the scale and rarity of these orotones, we need to zip through a little art history.
Various experimental types of orotones — or gold tones — were developed in the late 19th century. But American photographer Edward Curtis' studio perfected the orotone process around 1918. You've probably seen one of his. Arguably, Curtis' most famous images are orotone portraits of Native Americans. The images are known for their rich bronze and dark brown hues, and a glow that seems to come from inside.
If you've seen any of these in a book, though, you haven't really seen an orotone. Their effect is dependent on the gold pigment that's used in the image, laid down as an emulsion on back of the front plate of glass. And then there's the light in the room the orotone is in. Orotones can look as though they have low-watt light bulb gleaming behind them. That's because an orotone is as much an optical effect as a printed image: Behind the glass photo, they have a metallic reflective surface that bounces the light back through the image on the front plate.
"They are gorgeous," said Veletta Lill, chair of the Dallas Historical Society. When looking at Polly Smith's orotones, she said, part of their effect "comes from gold – that's often what you see when you look at the orotones. And you get the sense of 3D" from the different layers of glass.
But a typical Edward Curtis orotone is around 11 inches by 14, though you can buy reprints that are larger. The orotones at the Hall of State, on the other hand, are almost three times that size. For orotones, Polly Smith's are huge.
"These are so rare, " Gann said. "I have never seen an orotone this size in my career."
And Polly Smith herself was a rarity.
"Polly Smith shot these to market Texas to the world for the Centennial," said Lill. She was hired as part of the Centennial's tourism promotion. "So she went on the road with her camera and a little developing room on a truck" — and set out to capture images from all around Texas, projecting it as modern, vast, old-timey, bucolic, bustling.
Smith was 25 years old. In 1935, a female professional photographer was unusual enough, but one driving Texas backroads by herself was pretty much unheard of. What's more, Smith had previously studied photography with the great Edward Steichen. Now she was climbing into power stations, visiting water holes, talking with sharecroppers.
So why isn't Smith as well known as similar pioneering photographers of the era — like Gordon Parks or Dorothea Lange?
"They had long careers," said Lill. "She decided she wanted to do sculpture and she left photography behind. She went back to school."
And along with the rest of her photography, she left us these 18 glass plates.
Veletta Lill says, Polly Smith's orotones are part of our shared history in Dallas. On Wednesday, the City Council will consider authorizing $376,000 for the conservation of these golden portraits of Texas from the 1930s.

Speck outlines economic, environmental and health benefits of walkable communities
By Ellen Ishkanian
Jeff Speck spends his days imagining communities where people can safely walk along tree-lined sidewalks as they grab a morning coffee before commuting or safely walking or biking to work.
The internationally-renowned city planner and architectural designer who heads up Speck & Associates in Brookline also envisions city roads where cars actually move during rush hour and where dedicated bicycle lanes are packed with commuters.
"Walking places are thriving places," Speck told 200 attendees at the Newton-Needham Regional Chamber's 3rd Annual Regional Real Estate Forum, Sept. 12, 2017 at the Needham Sheraton Hotel.
In his presentation, Speck outlined the theories he wrote about in his book, "The Walkable City" and then debuted a short film showing how his ideas could be incorporated into a vision for Washington Street in Newton.
Often using humor, he explained the economic, environmental and health reasons why cities need to be more walkable and then showed practical ways to move away from the outdated model of suburban sprawl and toward a "new urbanism."
Speck spoke in both broad terms, sharing examples about how Newton and Needham could enhance its villages and town center to become more residential and transit-oriented. Heads in the audience nodded as he showed slides of various local problem spots, and he drew applause when he put up a slide of Newton Centre's triangular parking lot, suggesting that it would be the perfect location for underground parking with housing and businesses built above.
For years, Speck and a community of like-minded urban planners tried to promote the benefits of developing more walkable cities using "urbanist arguments, planning arguments, aesthetic arguments." They got some traction, but not much.
Then about 15 years ago, he said the planners realized there were three other groups arguing the same things, and getting more attention. The arguments from those three groups — economists, ecologists, and epidemiologists — form Speck's argument for why making America more walkable should be a priority.
"The economic argument is kind of scary," he said.
For example, the typical American in 1970 spent 10 percent of their income on transportation. Today, it's closer to 20 percent, he said. Those figures are magnified when the "hidden" costs of driving are factored in, such as maintaining roads and bridges, and paying for a police presence.
Speck used figures that showed it costs society about one cent for every mile a person walks, and $9 for every mile a person drives.
"We've burdened ourselves with this very expensive way of getting around," he said. "We've actually created a landscape where we as individuals and society as a whole is just wasting a ton of money on mobility."
The environmental impact of driving is easily seen by looking at a carbon map, Speck said.
"The further from the city, the worse your carbon footprint is," he said, explaining simply that people have to drive when they can't walk to a corner store for a quart of milk, let their first grader walk to a neighborhood school, find work nearby, or have access to public transportation.
"If you love nature, you should stay away from it," he said.
The health argument brought laughter from the crowd with a slide Speck showed of people using an escalator to get to their gym after driving there.
"We have an obesity epidemic, mostly because of what we're eating, but also because we don't walk enough," he said.
Speck said data shows that the further you live from Boston, the more you are likely to be unfit because of the time you spend sitting in a car and the time you don't have to exercise.
If making cities more walkable is more cost-effective, better for the environment, and healthier, Speck said the question becomes how to change people's attitudes about planning.
The theory of walkability, he explained, says that to get people to walk, you must make it as good as driving.
"It must be useful, safe, comfortable, and interesting," he said.
For most of modern American history, planners believed that putting retail all in one location, offices in another, and houses in another was the best way to zone a city.
"Most of America is like this, segregation of use from use," Speck said.
But the fundamental argument for the new urbanists, he said, is to abandon single-use zoning and make neighborhoods diverse and "useful," so stores, offices, housing and access to public transportation are all in the same area.
Contrast that, he said, to a typical suburban layout where whole neighborhoods of single-family homes are built along roads with no outlet. A single main thoroughfare passes through that is the only route to stores, schools, and highways, creating gridlock in the morning and evening.
Not only is it important that there be something nearby that people want to walk to, but "they must have a fighting chance to get there safely," he said, noting that he's talking primarily about speeding traffic rather than crime.
Speck advocates making roads safer by narrowing them, and reducing the number of lanes. For example, reducing four lane roads to three, with one lane in each direction and a center turn lane makes roads safer and improve traffic.
"It's a wonderful trick," he said. An added benefit is that it also leaves room for expanded sidewalks and protected bicycle lanes in each direction, he said.
Speck also advocates that surface parking lots, which he calls "principle villains", be hidden to improve the aesthetic for walkers who generally prefer to be enclosed by buildings, trees and structures to feel comfortable.
He showed a slide of the Needham Free Public Library as an example of how a surface parking lot can ruin the walking experience.
"The trees certainly help, but you no longer are comfortable — or frankly interested — walking along this sidewalk," he said.
He said of Needham Center, "you see what you want to see in a town square. It's shaped on all four edges. It really is an outdoor living room. The buildings could be taller, but you do feel a nice sense of enclosure."

Clarkia: planting and care, growing from seeds in the open field, photo
Clarkia is a charming flowering annual, a graceful and beautiful plant closely related to godetia. Clarkia seeds germinate well, seedlings grow very quickly, and flowering lasts about three months.
Clarkia is represented by many species and varieties of different colors, including those with double flowers, which are located on peduncles so densely that leaves are almost invisible because of them.
Our article contains information about:
which varieties of clarkia are the most popular;
how to sow clarke on seedlings;
when and how to transplant seedlings into a flower garden;
how to care for the plant during the season;
how to collect clarke seeds.
Planting and caring for clarkia
Landing: sowing seeds in the ground - in April or early May you can, but sow before winter; sowing seeds for seedlings - in March, transplanting seedlings into the ground - in the second or third decade of May.
Lighting: bright sunlight.
The soil: loose, light, dry, fertile, slightly acidic soils. Oily soil is not suitable for the plant.
Watering: only in drought - twice a week.
Top dressing: during the periods of budding and flowering, once every two weeks with a complex mineral fertilizer.
Reproduction: seed.
Pests: mealybugs, garden fleas.
Diseases: rust.
Read more about growing clarke below.
Flowers clarkia (lat.Clarkia) - a genus of annual grasses of the Cyprus family, close to godetia, which some botanists combine with clarkia into one genus. The plant is named after a captain named William Clark who brought it from California to Europe in the 19th century. In nature, the clarkia flower grows in the west of North America and in Chile and has more than 30 species, among which only three are of interest to flower growers.
Botanical description
So, the clarkia plant is an annual herbaceous crop, reaching a height of 30 to 90 cm. Clarkia's stems are branched, erect, usually pubescent with short villi. Elongated oval sessile leaves of bright green or bluish color are arranged alternately. Simple or double axillary flowers of the correct shape, up to 3.5 cm in diameter, painted in different colors, are usually collected in spike-shaped or racemose apical inflorescences, but occasionally there is a single arrangement of flowers. The calyx of the flower is tubular, the corolla consists of four whole or three-lobed flowers, which narrow at the base into a marigold. The fruit of the clarkia is an elongated polysperm.
Growing clarke from seeds
How to sow seeds
Clarkia flowers are grown by seed method - seedling or non-seedling. With the seedless method, clarke seeds are sown directly into the ground. This can be done in April or early May, as well as in late autumn, before winter. Before sowing clarke, add 1 kg of peat per m² and potassium sulfate with superphosphate, a tablespoon of each, to the area for digging to the same area. You need to dig up the area with fertilizers at least two weeks before sowing.
Small clarkia seeds are sown in nests of 4-5 pieces at a distance of 20-40 cm, but they are not buried in the ground, but slightly pressed against it and sprinkled with the thinnest layer of soil. Seedlings may appear in two weeks, and you will have to thin them out, but do not get carried away - blooming clarkia in a dense bush looks prettier. When planting in autumn, the seedlings have time to germinate before the onset of winter and are well preserved under the snow, but even if the crops do not germinate, there is nothing to worry about. In the spring, when the clarkia grows together, you only need to thin it out, like carrots.
Seedling care
Clarkia from seeds, grown by seedlings, at the very beginning of its life is reliably protected from temperature extremes, frosts, cold spring rains and other seasonal and climatic troubles, which is why many flower lovers prefer to grow seedlings rather than sow flowers directly into the ground. Clarkia seeds are sown for seedlings in March, then it will bloom in early June.
Sow the seeds in slightly acidic soil, press them down with a board, sprinkle with water, cover with glass and place in a bright, warm place where direct sunlight does not fall. As soon as shoots appear, the glass can be removed, but the container with crops must remain in a dry, warm place with good ventilation until planting in open ground. Clarkia should be dived as early as possible - as soon as the first leaves appear on the seedlings.
Planting clarke in open ground
When to plant
Clarkia flowers are planted in open ground in May. If the soil in your area is not suitable for clarkia due to its pH, there are several ways to acidify it: add a kilogram and a half of peat or 60 g of sulfur per square meter to the soil for digging, or spill the soil with a solution of oxalic or citric acid at the rate 1.5 tablespoons per 10 liters of water. If the soil is too acidic, it is lime before planting, and if it is too greasy, the site is dug up with sand. Well, do not forget to apply the fertilizers that have already been mentioned. You need to prepare a site for clarke at least two weeks before planting.
Clarkia is planted in this way: the seedlings are taken out of the container not one at a time, but in groups, together with an earthen clod, and also planted in holes located at a distance of 20 to 40 cm from each other. Near each hole, you need to stick a stick or rail, which will serve as a support for the thin stems of the clarkia when the bushes grow. Plant different varieties of plants at a distance from each other, because they can get dusty among themselves. After planting, the plants are watered and lightly pinched to stimulate tillering.
Clarkia care
Growing clarkia and caring for it will not require any special knowledge and effort from you. It is necessary to water the plant only in dry season twice a week, and the rest of the time the clarke will have enough rain moisture. Water for irrigation needs so much so that it is quickly absorbed, and does not stand in a puddle around the plant.
Clarke is fed during the budding and flowering periods with complex mineral fertilizers once every two weeks. For this purpose, Kemira or Raduga are suitable, clarkia is not fertilized with organic matter. Remove wilted flowers and seed pods so that the plant is only wasting its energy on the formation of new buds. That's all the care of Clarkia.
Of the insect pests, clarkia is affected by the mealybug, the traces of the vital activity of which look like a cotton-like wax coating on the ground parts of plants. Mealybugs are fought by spraying with Aktara, Confidor or Fitoverm.
If the soil in the area with clarke is loamy, this can cause a fungal disease, manifested by rusty-yellow spots with a brown border on the leaves. To destroy the fungus, the plant is sprayed with fungicides - Bordeaux liquid or oxychome, for example. In general, clarkia is a very resistant plant to pests and diseases, and if you properly prepare the soil for it, neither it nor you will have problems with it.
Clarkia after flowering
How and when to collect seeds
Actually, clarkia reproduces well by self-seeding, you just need to thin out carefully in the spring, when the bristles of clarkia seedlings appear. But if you nevertheless decide to collect the seeds, then it's easy to do: select several beautiful flowers during flowering and, when they begin to fade, tie them with gauze so that the seeds, when ripe, do not fall to the ground. The seeds ripen a month after the end of flowering, when the box turns brown. Cut a box of seeds, put them on a newspaper, dry and sow before winter, or store in a paper bag until spring.
Clarkia in winter
After the clarkia has faded, it can be cut to the very ground, and when the time comes to dig up the area, remove the remains of the clarkia and destroy them. It is best to burn them to prevent the growth of disease-causing bacteria and fungi that can infect soil or healthy plants.
Types and varieties
As already mentioned, only three types of clarkia are grown in the garden culture: clarkia marigold, or clarkia graceful; clarkia is pretty, or clarke is pubescent; Clarkia Breveri.
Clarkia graceful, or marigold (Clarkia unguiculata = Clarkia elegans)
Clarkia flower graceful grows wild in California. It is a branchy, dense annual plant up to a meter high. Its stems are strong, thin, woody in the lower part, the leaves are oval, gray-green with red veins, unevenly sparsely toothed along the edges. Regular flowers up to 4 cm in diameter, simple or double, white, red, purple, pink or blue, are arranged one by one in the leaf axils. Small seeds remain viable for up to 4 years. Blooms profusely from July to September. Growing Clarkia graceful is very common in our climate. Popular varieties:
Albatross - clarkia terry white, the height of the branchy bush is about 75 cm;
Purpurkenig - terry variety of carmine color, flowers with a diameter of 3.5-4 cm, bush height 80-90 cm;
Salmon Perfection - double flowers, pink-salmon up to 3.5 cm in diameter, loose bush up to 90 cm high.
Clarkia pulchella
Dwarf plant. Its stems are branched, erect, up to 40 cm tall. Leaves are green, long, narrow, whole, pointed towards the top and narrowed towards the petiole. Flowers are simple or double, single or collected in several pieces in the axils of the leaves at the tops of the shoots. The original shape of the petals, divided into three widely spaced lobes, because of which the Americans called this species "elk horns". It blooms two weeks earlier than the graceful clarke.
Clarkia breweri
For some time now, the type of Clarkia Breveri has been gaining popularity - a cold-resistant annual up to 50 cm high. Flowers, similar to butterflies, up to 3 cm in diameter, making up loose inflorescences, have a strong and pleasant aroma. Varieties:
Pink ribbons - a variety with pink flowers, the petals of which resemble ribbons, the height of the bush is only 30 cm, the stems are branched, the flowering is abundant.
All other types of clarkia that you have heard or read about are actually godetia.

Description of the plant
Clarkia is a decorative annual flower. It belongs to the family "Fireweed", found in Europe and North America. In nature, there are more than 25 types of clarkia, but gardeners cultivate several. Clarkia is primarily appreciated for its decorative effect. The flower is distinguished by branched stems, villi are located on their surface.
Clarkia's leaves are elongated, deep green. Some species have ovaries. Clarkia flowers are simple, the average diameter of 1 piece is 3 cm. Together, they form inflorescences that resemble an ear. Single-flowered plants are rarely cultivated.
The clarke's cup is small, shaped like a pipe. The corolla includes several flowers. The fruit is presented in the form of an elongated box with seeds.
In open ground, seeds are sown in small nests (4–5 each), without deepening, but only slightly pressing them to wet ground. At the end of the work, the crops are sprinkled with a thin layer of soil. Germination will take about 14-16 days. If the seedlings are too frequent, they can be thinned out, but do not overdo it: in a dense planting, clarkia looks much more attractive. Do not be alarmed if, after the autumn sowing, seedlings appear before the onset of winter - the seedlings will be perfectly preserved under the snow "blanket".
Clarkia is unpretentious and modest in her content.
Plants need regular watering only if the yard is dry and hot, the rest of the time the beauty is content with rain moisture. During dry periods, water the plantings sparingly, without turning the soil underneath into a viscous slurry.
During a set of buds and flowering, it is recommended to feed clarkia with complex mineral fertilizers ("Rainbow", "Kemira"). It is impossible to use organics for feeding.
To ensure that the plants have enough strength to form new buds, periodically tear off wilted inflorescences and seed pods.
Clarkia will gratefully answer these simple procedures with bright and long flowering.
Use in the garden
Liatris is valued for its decorative qualities, melliferousness, it is used in rockeries and flower beds. Fits perfectly in rural, English gardens. This is a great flower for planting against brick walls, fences.
Usually these plants delight with rich, lilac or pink flowers, but there are varieties with white inflorescences. They are not as expressive as the classic varieties with a lilac-pink color, but they go well with white flower beds and brighten up dark compositions. The bright colors of other plants also help.
Liatris often grows in groups, but can be planted singly. Tubers are planted at a distance of 20-30 cm.
The plant is suitable for perennial beds in sunny places, with a southern exposure. Combines perfectly with:
asters,
large chrysanthemums,
coreopsis,
echinacea,
paniculate phlox,
physostegy virgin,
daylilies,
roses,
lavender,
ornamental grasses.
Liatris goes well with golden plants, low grasses due to the contrasting shapes and texture of the leaves.
Liatris can be grown in containers and pots.
Liatris is also used in floristry - for bouquets. The shoots of the plant are cut off when the first flowers begin to develop on the inflorescences. You can use them as an element of a flower arrangement, create dry bouquets.
Dried inflorescences look very impressive in the garden in winter.

Q: VBA code (if needed) to save new Word document in same directory as other Word doc Many users, myself included, begin editing a Word document, create a new Word doc, and wish to save the second doc in the same directory as the first doc. This is the default behavior in an editor such as emacs. Word 2013, alas, makes me pick the directory ("Folder") where I wish to save the new file, forcing me to select among various network folders and then select multiple subdirectories before I reach the one containing my first document. I used to have a simple VBA script that would find the directory of the first file and then save the new file in that directory, or at least it would set the directory of the first file as the default directory for saving files. Does anyone have code to do what I'm looking for? Thanks!

A: This will the working directory to the directory of the first file you were working on:
ChDir(Application.Documents(Application.Documents.Count).Path)

If you want to save the most recent opened document to the same location as the first file you were working on, then try the following
Sub SaveWithFirstFile()
NewFileName = "filename1.docx
Application.Documents(1).SaveAs2 FileName:=Application.Documents(Application.Documents.Count).Path & "\\" & NewFileName
End Sub

Change "filename1.docx" to what you want it to

Banksy's Walled Off Hotel Offers Art, Politics and Rooms With No View
By: Nathan Chandler | Mar 24, 2021
Anonymous British street artist Banksy's Walled Off Hotel, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank town of Bethlehem, is part art gallery and part political statement. Ilia Yefimovich/Getty Images
Thanks to internationally renowned street artist Banksy, you can travel to a Bethlehem resort with this slogan: "The worst view of any hotel in the world." In doing so, you'll also venture smack-dab into the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It's called the Walled Off Hotel, and it rests immediately adjacent to the Palestine Wall, meant to keep Palestinians from freely traveling into Israel. It really is a fully functioning hotel, albeit one in a contentious area, filled with artwork by Banksy (and other artists) offering commentary on a deadly conflict that seems as if it will never end.
An entire hotel, as art?
Well, Banksy's no stranger to audacious artwork. The hotel is regarded as a follow-up to Dismaland, a temporary installation that sprung up in 2015 near the resort of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. The "bemusement park" was a scathing critique of consumerism in modern life, and it attracted huge crowds but was dismantled at the artist's order after a month.
An Extended One-year Run
The Walled Off Hotel first opened in 2017 and was meant for a one-year run. Instead, four years later, it's still operating. No one's sure why Banksy – who remains titillatingly anonymous – has made an exception for the timeline of this particular installation.
The facade of the Walled Off Hotel showcases its particular brand of gritty charm along with a sumptuous view of the wall dividing Palestine from the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

But there's no mistaking its draw. Since its opening, the hotel has welcomed more than 140,000 visitors, a number that would undoubtedly be higher had the coronavirus pandemic not temporarily halted business.
This is no bombed-out building. Instead, the hotel features everything from spartan to luxurious accommodations. And, of course, there are the endlessly creative touches, including security cameras mounted like deer heads on the walls, alongside sledgehammers and slingshots, all symbols of the violence and suppression rampant in these parts.
For about $60, budget-minded travelers find themselves in a bunker-style room outfitted with surplus items from Israeli military barracks. On the other end of the scale, you can spend nearly $1,000 per night for the presidential suite. As the hotel's website says, this "palatial suite is equipped with everything a corrupt head of state would need."
No matter the price of the accommodations, the art in every room is considered priceless. That said, upon departure, guests are required to sign a disclaimer that they haven't taken anything from the room.
Nicole Jacobs-Licht is an artist and teacher from Atlanta who describes herself as a huge fan of Banksy's work. She visited the hotel in 2018 and loved every moment of the experience. But her description makes it clear that a visit to this area requires a spirit of adventure and some fortitude. She said the worst part was crossing the boundary between the two contentious nations.
The piano bar/dining room in the hotel features statues choking on tear gas fumes and offers guests warm scones, freshly brewed tea and the aptly-named Walled Off salad.

"I was interrogated very much about why I was there, where I was going, why was I solo," she says via email interview. "I said I was there to see the religious sites and visit the museums (as the hotel said I should say; it's also why I paid for a transfer to and from the hotel, to help me navigate all of that). Traveling as a woman solo is questioned by the Israelis. I was definitely not welcomed, and [I was] taken into an interrogation room."
There are no international airports in Palestine, so you can only enter overland through Israel; the Palestinian border is controlled by the Israeli authorities, so crossing can be a bit of a challenging experience. As the Walled Off website states: "Airport security at Tel Aviv, however, is legendary. Expect to be asked about the purpose of your stay and if you intend travelling to the West Bank. If you answer 'yes' you may be held up for some time."
If you decide to make the journey to the Walled Off Hotel, Jacobs-Licht makes a few recommendations. For starters, she says, don't just stop by the hotel and gawk – be sure to book a room, for multiple nights, if possible, to really get the full experience.
She stayed in a different room each night, including the Banksy Scenic Suite, Scenic Suite 2, the phenomenal Presidential Suite, and the Budget Barracks.

"The artwork is unique to the hotel and the conflict, it is like being inside a museum. Everywhere is an artwork. Every room is an artwork. It is a cerebral and visual experience."
In all, she spent four nights, giving her a chance to soak up the artwork and also take day trips to see parts of Palestine.
Advice for Visitors: Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
Preparation is vital. She recommends that people watch documentaries about the conflict so that they understand the complexities and harsh realities of the political situation before they visit. She also said to make the most of the experience by trying everything, including the well-reviewed museum inside the hotel.
"Have proper tea and breakfast in the Walled Off restaurant, surrounded by art and meeting other travelers," she says. "Go on the Green Olive Tours, offered to teach more about the wall and the conflict; one tour includes discussing the wall at the hotel, and the Banksy pieces on it, and walking you through the Aida Refugee Camp."
These experiences will also help you connect with other travelers, who will share their perspectives on the situation.
It's worth noting that although this area is technically under the control of the Israeli military, legally, its status is much murkier. Various checkpoints and roads around the hotel make the journey there from Israel challenging. But it is ultimately regarded as a safe place to be – at least, for the moment. And given the hotel's high ratings and its educational potential, the effort seems to be worthwhile.
"The Palestinians are lovely people in a bad situation," says Jacobs-Licht. "I was able to speak English with everyone. I walked alone at night by myself and felt safe. Women stopped to talk and hugged me. Everyone wanted to talk. I traveled by bus to Jerusalem city, went through the locals' checkpoint at the wall. It was very eye opening."
The view from the balcony of a room at the Walled Off boasts stunning vistas of the wall itself and breathtaking views featuring the scenery of continuous war.
Ilia Yefimovich/Getty Images
For anyone who loves art or yearns for another perspective on one of the world's most heart wrenching dramas, the Walled Off Hotel offers rooms with many different views. But until further notice, it's closed to the public until the coronavirus pandemic situation improves. You can check the website for updates on room availability.
The address of the Walled Off is 182 Caritas Street, Bethlehem, Palestine and the email address is: reception@walledoffhotel.com.
Next to the hotel is Wall Mart, where you can buy spray paint and create your own Banksy-style stencils. Then, you can stroll right outside and leave your own artistic statement on this infamous border wall. It won't last long – the wall is regularly painted over so that new visitors can leave their marks. But it's a shared experience for anyone who appreciates the collision of politics and art.

Family office executive pay tops £300,000 but drop in bonuses paid
Salaries for senior executives at family offices are increasing, and almost one-third of chief executives and managing directors now earn more than £300,000 ($386,000) a year, according to a new report.
Produced by London-based family office recruitment specialist Agreus, the Family Office Compensation Benchmark Report 2017 also found that fewer family office staff members are receiving an annual bonus.
Global Family Office Report 2016 Key Findings - Human capital: People matter
Human capital is a term coined by Gary Becker, an economist from the University of Chicago, which refers to the abilities and skills of an individual as an economic value. But how are family offices managing human capital in 2016?
Over a third of family office CEOs are female, says research
Thirty-five per cent of family office CEOs are female, according to a new report, compared to just 4.6% in the S&P 500.Thirty-five per cent of family office CEOs are female, according to a new report, compared to just 4.6% in the S&P 500.
The diversity of families appears to be reflected in family office personnel – at least when it comes to gender – research from Family Office Exchange (FOX) and US advisory firm Grant Thornton suggests.
In a survey of 112 family offices, 35% were headed by a female chief executive, said the 2015 FOX Family Office Compensation and Benefits Report, compared to 4.6% in the S&P 500. In a release FOX said the gender statistics had been "surprising".
Family reward
How much do family offices pay? Few seem to know, but through an extensive survey of the sector in the UK and Switzerland, CampdenFO in association with the executive search firm Sulger Buel & Company reveals just how much offices are compensating their top staff. The numbers make fascinating reading.
If family offices are considered part of the financial services industry, then how much they are paying their senior managers is arguably the least transparent of the entire sector. That of course suits family offices, which for the most part guard their confidentiality more than most other areas of the financial services sector. But things are opening up.
Cheques & Balances
Paul Golden analyses the best compensation strategies for senior family office staff
With opinion divided on the extent of bonuses – and the merits of long-term retention – it is easy to see why there is nothing approaching a standard model for family office remuneration.
Paying family members who work outside of the business
We have seen how important fairness is when paying operational family members, now we look at how to reward those who are not involved in the business. Steve McClure analyses how best it can be done
Compensating the working family
Tom Davidow kicks off our focus on remuneration by taking a look at how family businesses should compensate family members who are active in the company. This must be appropriate and fair or else the dynamics of the family may suffer …
In a climate where million dollar CEO salaries, bonuses and benefits in publicly traded companies are so huge that the public cannot relate to them, family-controlled Aflac Inc has become the first US public company to empower shareholders to vote on executive compensation.
What are you worth?
To stay ahead of the game, businesses need to recruit and retain top-quality staff at all levels – but especially at the top – so incentives and rewards are key. Melanie Stern examines the changes ahead in executive compensation for non-family CEOs
Melanie stern is section editor of Families in Business.
Much has been made of the compensation packages awarded to today's top executives, with pay packets expanding faster than the waistlines of most well-dined CEOs – all too often, while their companies underperform.
It makes sense to formalise employment contracts, both for employees and employer in family companies. Employment agreements encourage healthy communication, prevent resentments from building up and avoid disputes arising later on, advises Jeffrey Wolfson
Jeffrey Wolfson is a family business attorney at Goulston & Storrs and is chairman emeritus of the Northeastern University Center for Family Business. www.jwolfson@goulstonstorrs.com
Fair game for review
Money and how it is distributed among stakeholders in family businesses is a source of great conflict. But if systems are set up to standardise payouts, it will serve to educate those involved and avoid resentment and conflict arising, writes Sam Lane

What did I make it from?
Where did I got such a nice wood?
I had an old pallet. I used it up for firewood. Now I regret it, because it was made of some amazing wood tougher than oak. Anyways, I still have a few pieces.
In a meantime, I broke my rotary outlet. I swear, I do not abuse it, i just turned it on and it broke.
I'm not sure I will be able to fix it. I might need to buy another electric rotary tool be productive working on projects. One rotary tool on a bench is definitely not enough.

Aditya Birla Group Owner: Everything About The Aditya Birla Owner
July 18, 2021 July 18, 2021 RishabhAditya Birla, Aditya Birla Group, Aditya Birla Group Owner, Kumar Mangalam Birla, The Aditya Birla Group
A very warm & hearty greeting to my readers. Today, I'm here with a new subject. Before telling my readers about the story of the Birla owner, let me take my readers to the family tree of the BIRLA'S. The family starts from the heir named SHIV NARAYAN BIRLA. He is the main man behind the huge kingdom of Birla's. The family belongs from the Maheshwari caste of Vaishya trader but the family was thrown out from the caste as one of the family members has broken the caste marriage rules. Thereafter, the lineage grew from Rajasthan in the town of Pilani. In this article on "ADITYA BIRLA GROUP OWNER | ADITYA BIRLA OWNER", we'll discuss the whole business and will come to know amazing facts about Birla's.
A Glimpse of Birla Family
Moving further, Shiv Narayan Birla had sadness in his life even if he had all wealth. He did not have a son of his own so he took the decision to adopt a son for his kingdom to grow and prosper. The name of the adopted son is Baldev Das Birla. The business was handed over to him and it grew to heights. Baldev had 4 children, they are – Jugal Kishore, Rameshwar Das, Ghanshyam Das, and Braj Mohan. These four children also had their own blood growing up where Jugal Kishore does not have his own child so he adopted Lakshmi Niwas as his daughter. The empire of Birla grew day by day.
Biography of Aditya Birla Group
Talking about the chairman of the Aditya Birla group owner, KUMAR MANGALAM BIRLA who is the great-grandson of GHANSHYAMDAS -is the mastermind behind this huge enterprise. He grew this vast and enormous empire on his own, as his brothers had their own business empire growing and like this Birla family had many business kingdoms enlarging in every corner of the world. The company has many businesses growing under them. Some of them are – metals, pulp, and fiber, chemicals, textiles, carbon black, telecom and cement. The Aditya Birla group owner not only exists in India itself, but it is also operating in 36 countries in north & south America, Africa, and Asia.
"Great businesses are never built on the quicksands of opportunism. I reiterate that, if living by our values means, perhaps growing at a pace slower than we would otherwise have liked, so be it. For us, leadership lies at the heart of knowing what we stand for".
Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla – Chairman, Aditya Birla Group Owner. An empowering and powerful phrase by the CEO of the Aditya Birla Group.
Moving Over to the Business Empire
Kumar took over the Birla group at his 28th age after the death of his father. There on the son has become the king of the vast kingdom or the Aditya Birla Group Owner or Aditya Birla Owner. He grew the business activities to heights whose turnover was US$ 2 billion in 1995, to US$ 46.3 billion. The business was run by his father ADITYA VIKRAM BIRLA. The businesses which are under the control of Kumar are- aluminum, copper, cement, textiles (pulp, fiber, yarn, fabric, and branded apparel), carbon black, insulators, natural resources, solar power, agribusiness, telecommunications, financial services, retail, and trading.
He has built not only his business activities in India but also globally. The global companies that are under him are- Novelis, Birla Carbon, Aditya Birla Minerals, Aditya Birla Chemicals, Domsjö Fabriker, and Terrace Bay Pulp Mill. In India, he chairs the Boards of Hindalco, Grasim, UltraTech, Vodafone Idea, an Aditya Birla Capital Limited.
A Brief History of Aditya Vikram Birla
The main head or the boss or the leader who had brought the ADITYA BIRLA GROUP to the pinnacle was ADITYA VIKRAM BIRLA. He is the real chairman of the chairperson or the Aditya Birla Group owner. He left abode at the age of 51 then later on the business was handed over to his son Kumar Mangalam Birla. Aditya Group Owner was the Indian industrialist who was married to Rajshree. He belongs to a family who has a vast empire of business on Indian soil as I have already mentioned about the family tree above. He is the 1st Indian who has extended his business abroad other than the Indian soil. He set up his plants in South East Asia, the Philippines & Egypt.
Summing Up Towards the End
Aditya Birla group owner was a great philanthropist who had a vision of extending the business empire even after the demise of the main man or the Aditya Birla owner. The business is still standing to affirm because of the dedication, hard work, efforts, enthusiasm towards the company and towards the people working under them. The kingdom might have gone through rough days, hardships, calamities but they have come out of it very strongly, very boldly, and very magnificently.
One of the empowering and solid quotes of Kumar Mangalam Birla states that "Failure is not Fatal. Failure is Inevitable. If you don't fail it Perhaps means you aren't taking enough Risks". The quote is more than enough to encourage any failed and downtrodden candidate to start from dust to reach and build an empire.

Disaster challenge to 'practice, witness to love'Read Time 3 min
By The Catholic Herald|2011-03-14T14:24:00-05:00Mar 14, 2011|Nation and World|
A boy walks through the devastation in Rikuzentakata, Japan, March 14. Government officials had estimated that 10,000 people may have lost their lives in the March 11 earthquake and the tsunami it triggered. Catholic Relief Services is among the organizations collecting money in order to provide relief assistance. (CNS photo/Toru Hanai, Reuters)VATICAN CITY –– Saying he, too, was horrified by the images of the death and destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Pope Benedict XVI asked people to join him in praying for the victims.
"May the bereaved and injured be comforted and may the rescue workers be strengthened in their efforts to assist the courageous Japanese people," the pope said in English March 13 after reciting the Angelus prayer with visitors in St. Peter's Square.
Government officials estimated that perhaps 10,000 people lost their lives after the earthquake March 11 and the tsunami it triggered.
Speaking in Italian after the Angelus, the pope said, "The images of the tragic earthquake and the consequent tsunami in Japan have left us deeply horrified.
"I want to renew my spiritual closeness to that country's dear people, who with dignity and courage are dealing with the consequences of the calamity. I pray for the victims and their families and for all who are suffering because of these terrible events. I encourage all those who, with laudable speed, are working to bring help. Let us remain united in prayer."

Japan emergency
Bishop Marcellino Daiji Tani of Saitama, one of the dioceses hit hardest by the disaster, told the Catholic missionary news agency Fides that the catastrophe is a reminder that "life is in the hands of God and that life is a gift from God," and he described the tragedy as a challenge for Christians during Lent "to practice and witness to the commandment of love and brotherly love."
However, he also told Fides, "Of particular concern to us is the situation of the nuclear power plant in Fukushima. But we must take courage, with the help of the Holy Spirit."
Two reactors at the Fukushima plant were hit by explosions and another was losing its cooling system. Japanese officials were playing down the health risks posed by the emergency at the plant, but they did order evacuations for hundreds of thousands of people.
In a message March 13 to members of the Orthodox Church, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople said the Japanese tragedy demonstrates the threat posed by nuclear power plants and it calls for serious reflection.
"With all due respect to the science and technology of nuclear energy and for the sake of the survival of the human race, we counter-propose the safer green forms of energy," the patriarch said.
The Orthodox patriarch, who is a leading proponent of a Christian environmental theology, said in his message, "Our Creator granted us the gifts of the sun, wind, water and ocean, all of which may safely and sufficiently provide energy. Therefore we ask: Why do we persist in adopting such dangerous sources of energy?"
Meanwhile, the director of Caritas Japan told Fides, "This painful event may be an opportunity to spread the values of the Gospel, that is, the fraternity of all men and women, the building of common good, the recognition that every person has the dignity of a child of God and is important in the eyes of God.
"If with our work and our witness, we can communicate that then from this evil will come good," the Caritas official, Fr. Daisuke Narui, told Fides.

Q: How to receive a role from a message I have been trying to make a simple command that gives a role to someone who speaks in chat, lets say they say a bad word, It would give message.author the muted role.
client.on("message", (message) => {
  let member = message.guild.members.get(author.id);
  var array = fs.readFileSync('./pings.txt').toString().split("\n");
  if (array.includes(message.content)) {
    member.addRole('556210268418605069')
    message.author.send("You have been muted for using one of the pings.")
    message.author.send("If this had a legit reason to do so please message Collier.")
  } else {
    return;
  }
})

In this case I am muting someone if they ping @everyone or one of the listed pings.
Can someone please explain what is wrong with this?
Thanks.

A: What you check with this line if (array.includes(message.content)), is if the message content is only a mention (Example: CollierPlays: @everyone ), not more, then give the message author a role.
I changed your code so the bot gets the first role mention in the message an checks if the rolename is in your Array.
This is the code:

client.on("message", (message) => {
  let member = message.guild.members.get(author.id);
  var array = fs.readFileSync('./pings.txt').toString().split("\n");
  if (array.includes(message.mentions.roles.first().name)) {
    member.addRole('556210268418605069')
    message.author.send("You have been muted for using one of the pings.")
    message.author.send("If this had a legit reason to do so please message Collier.")
  } else {
    return;
  }
})

Attention! The name of roles in your text file have to be the same as the mentioned ones, pay attention on lowercase and uppercase otherwise the code wont work.

Author's Foreword to the New Edition of My Hands Were Clean
By Tom Bradley
Speaking of the Chinese, earlier that very month when they began to pirate the products of his soul on a gargantuan scale, our visiting author had waxed bitterly eloquent in denouncing such thievery from the pulpit of the electronic broadcast media. He was courageous enough to speak out, despite the protestations of certain leftward-leaning naifs in the press who pointed out that the Chinese could never afford his books at the regular price, anyway. They cited Faulkner's words to the effect that the true novelist's sole desire should be to "scratch his name on the door of eternity" without regard to the service charge that could be extracted in return for such scratching. These lefties also claimed that certain writers existed (maybe all dead now) who would be flattered to the point of mania to have members of such a vast and formidable civilization taking an interest in their books, regardless of the financial arrangement, or lack thereof, which had placed the latter in their hands.
—Fission Among the Fanatics
The end of everything is going to be like a jumbo jet crash: what kills you is the sheer bouncing avoirdupois of all the other assholes jam-packed around you. The unprecedented apocalyptic monstrosity of the internet makes it obvious that our universe, and everybody in it, is hurtling into the final few screams of the Great Dissolution, as promised in the Vishnu Purana. The Night of Brahma will follow, when we all have to shut the fuck up, and even stop publishing e-books.
Our barely-average star, just another nondescript zhlub in the crowd, stumbles ever closer to the eliptical band-saw of the galactic plane. Spirits that have managed, during the preceding dozens of millennia, to grapple all the way up from a rock to a plant to a beast to a human (just barely in many cases), are grabbing for some self-consciousness, by means of which they might discharge a bit of karma before the shit hits the fan. It's the last few minutes before closing time at the big fire sale, and all the cash registers are mobbed.
Unfortunately, in way too many cases, self-consciousness entails self-expression. There are only slightly fewer "publishers" than "writers," and more "writers" than demons in the guts of the Gadarene swine. And ninety-nine percent of them have chosen to oink digitally. A broadband balloon of electromagnetic dreck is oozing from the top of our ionosphere and bulging at the speed of light toward the dumpsters behind Pluto's squalid strip mall, to be slopped on top of Hitler's televisation of the Nuremburg rally. To a radio telescope tripodded on the shore of a methane lake on some shitty distant moon, our published oeuvre must look like a blood blister distended to the point of bursting.
There was a time when we scribblers banished to the contemptible wilderness west of the Hudson River were able to play the simple Essene. We planned our biblo-retirement in terms of inurnment, Qumran-style. Now the sand in which our Dead Sea Scrolls must be buried is composed of drifts of electrons, countless subatomic egos, splintered and sterile as the bits of shivered quartzite that make West Bank dunes writhe like salted slugs.
Apparently huge mobs of The Great Unwashed are born with—what? You can't call it a need, any more than drinking and breathing are needs; those are simply conditions of embodied existence. For artists as well as "artists," it would seem that flushing the psyche is no less metabolic.
But writing is strange. It's easy to posit a dancing gene, or a singing gene, or even a painting gene. We were spasming and belching and smearing our diarrhea on rocks before Ardipithecus ramidus came slouching along. But we've only had the written word for six thousand years—unless the experts are correct in their recent efforts to push it back another thirty centuries by imputing lexical import to the squiggles nobody notices at Lascaux (FaceBook of the Paleolithic). Still, is that long enough deoxyribonucleically to Darwinize writing as an inborn behavior? Is it "natural" to be tinkering with these little bits of alphabet, like a bonobo tweezing termites with a twig? That's the level of skill displayed by most knuckle-draggers with "book contracts" clenched in their prognathous jaws.
These days, becoming a "published author" requires less of a grunt than evacuating the bowels after breakfast buffet at a Mexican restaurant. And if you are among the shrinking minority of mutants who don't even pretend to have this predispositional urge to be literary, I can barely imagine the enviable sterility of your imagination, the lucky numbness of your sensorium. You and your drastically dwinding kind are excused from listening to what I've been assigned to say in this foreword to the new edition of My Hands Were Clean. Bless your vacant souls, you can fuck off to your early earthbound oblivion now.
Unlikely Stories has asked me to exhort everyone else to do something or other in relation to this book. Or maybe I'm supposed to beg them to refrain from doing something else. Whichever, whatever—it keeps slipping my mind. I'll assume that, if everyone else behaves in the desired way, they won't be robbing us.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed, further, to be urging these readers and these writers, these poets in their hundreds of thousands, to behave in other ways that will actually cause our coffers to swell. I'm told swelling of coffers to an exponential degree is made at least theoretically possible by this satellite-engendered pus bubble that swells overhead, assuming it doesn't pop before clearing the heliopause at the fizzling-out point of our niggling solar clump, seventeen-point-six billion miles away.
With a swollen coffer, yearnings for the early arrival of Brahma's Night will evaporate from my mind. The rigmarole of incarnation will begin to take on the illusory appearance of meaningfulness. I will be able to move into an apartment that most human beings would consider at least minimally livable. I'll become acclimated to this coat of skin, develop social skills, and write the complacent sort of smugness that can aspire to Oprah's canon. My words will be secured and copy-protected in the gated community that is Kindle, and everyone else can fuck on their "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 2.0 Generic License."

Michigan Supreme Court won't hear appeal of Marshall man
The Michigan Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from a Marshall man convicted of rape.
Jon Thomas Fox, 38, is serving a sentence of 23 years and nine months to 71 years after his girlfriend and mother of his children said she was raped on July 5, 2016.
Last year the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld the 2018 conviction and sentence and now the Michigan Supreme Court said they won't consider further appeals "because we are not persuaded that the questions present should be reviewed by this Court."
The March 2 decision was released Wednesday.
The woman, 33, at the time, said she came home and Fox was hiding in the house and grabbed her from behind. He called he names, looked through messages on her phone and raped her.
He was convicted of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, unlawful imprisonment, assault by strangulation and interference with electronic communications.
In his appeal to the lower court, Fox argued that his attorney was ineffective because he didn't properly inform Fox of the consequences of a conviction versus a plea to some of the charges.
But his attorney, James Goulooze, said at a post-trial hearing that Fox never would consider any plea agreement because he was convinced he would be acquitted.
Fox also argued that Goulooze should not have allowed a 911 call from the victim to be played during the trial and that the assistant prosecutor gave prejudicial statements during the opening of the trial.
The Court of Appeals rejected those claims and affirmed the conviction in May 2020.
Fox is housed at the Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility in Ionia and is eligible for parole in 2041.


24: Legacy has earned a rather dubious legacy. The FOX series earned a cancellation after only one season. Incredibly, FOX states the franchise may return. The network probably wishes to reserve the right to resurrect the one-time hit series in the future.
A few reasons exist for 24: Legacy's failure. Weak ratings are definitely among them. The lack of the original series' star is obviously another. Kiefer Sutherland was the star of the original 24. Without him, the film comes off as a weak imitation. Sutherland was more that just a "star." His portrayal of Jack Bauer in the series was iconic. Unlike so many forgotten TV characters, Sutherland's Jack Bauer is one who will be remembered decades from now.
The FOX network's attempts to resurrect programs from the recent past are quizzical. In addition to 24: Legacy, FOX relaunched an X-Files mini-series and a new season of the once-canceled Prison Break. The X-Files was a hit, but Prison Break was not.
The X-Files is another iconic television series as it ranks among the most successful science-fiction television programs ever produced. Millions of fans tuned in for the program's return. Prison Break never had anything close to The X-Files popularity. And unlike The X-Files, 24: Legacy did not feature a beloved lead actor returning to a famous role. That major deficiency bears repeating.
Why would FOX look at the failure of 24: Legacy and state the franchise may continue?
The reason is simple. The next series could be a hit. With the right concept and the right timing, another attempt at resurrecting 24 might do very well. Maybe moving the franchise away from the broadcast network would be an effective strategy. Co-producing a streaming series or a video game endeavor are two possible ways the series may survive and thrive.
A return to FOX is always a possibility as well.

Printing Press essays
The font of all wisdom The Gutenberg Revolution John Man 312 pp, Review Subtitles are becoming ridiculously long-winded. The one attached to John Man's little book claims that it is "The story of a genius and an invention that changed the world". This is true enough, though it says much about our increasingly semi-literate society that the name Johann Gutenberg alone is no longer assumed to be instantly recognisable. And yet the western father of printing has influenced cyberspace as much as any...

Time The Printing Press
In 1440 a man by the man of Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type, or as we know it, a printing press. Prior to 1440 everything read in Europe was copied by hand or copied from wooden blocks carved from hand. This was very expensive and time consuming. The only people who were literate were those of the church and a small percentage of nobility. Since the printing press came out, how would this effect European culture and the way things worked? The printing press had many effects on Europe. V...
Gutenberg's First Printed Book
Johannes Gutenberg was born between 1394 and 1399 the exact date is unsure. He was born in Mainz and trained as a goldsmith there. His family later settled in Strasbourg, France. During the Renaissance he invented the printing press, which allowed the peasants to have access to books. For the first time books were being mechanically made through the use of ink and molds instead of handwritten. Gutenberg's first printed book was the Bible.

Invention Of The Printing Press
JOHANN GUTENBURG AND THE PRINTING PRESS Long ago there was a man named Johann Gutenberg. He was a very intelligent man. He created one of the greatest inventions in history.

He changed his name to Gutenburg after the name of his wealthy father's house. Gutenberg died in 1468 in Mainz, Germany where he was born. In the footsteps of hi...
Censorship in the Written Word The written word is mankind's oldest form of recorded information. It has allowed us to read about ideas and events of times long past.

Using a printing press, anyone had the ability to record and distribute his or her ideas. The printed word beca...
