Kevin Bourne is the co-founder and Editor of SHIFTER Magazine, a hub for people with strong ideas, discerning tastes in culture,


Everyone contributed to the Doha Thanksgiving Feast held at Curtis and Mary's villa yesterday. There was turkey, stuffing, dessert and Al brought a roasted lamb. Bob donated to the liquor fund.
There is drinking in Qatar.
You can go to a hotel and enjoy a beer or two for $8 to $10 (each), or you could purchase a liquor license for 1000 QR (about $340 now) and buy your liquid in case form for much, much less (per bottle).
There's only one place to buy alcohol in Doha and that's the government run Qatar Distribution Company. You can't enter the building without a license, so Bob stood outside like a delinquent furtively awaiting an older sibling's naughtiness.
For the record, it is considered Haraam (forbidden, a terrible sin) to be publicly inebriated or to even hold a bottle (open or closed) on a Doha street. According to Islamic law, a Muslim caught drinking might be lashed! Once purchased, your alcohol must be covered, taken immediately to your car and driven straight home.
Private consumption of alcohol, like the existence of a Catholic Church and pork in the grocery is a Very Big Deal and unique to this tiny Islamic state at the heart of the Gulf. In other words, don't expect to buy yourself some Pinot Noir in Saudi Arabia, Iraq or Iran just a hop, skip and jump away.
How do Middle Easterners celebrate? Some Middle Easterners consider breaking bread a bonding experience – "fi' akul" (with food). If you're ever offered a cup of sugary tea ("shay") in Egypt, you must accept it, for example, or risk offending your host. Along the same lines, many Westerners consider a lifted glass or tipped bottle a shared moment, sip-in-time, union of spirits (pun intended). It's nice to have a beer with dinner - especially during the holidays.
Of course, Qatar's history involves Bedouins, pearls, fishing boats – and the discovery of natural gas and oil - not starving pilgrims. So until party time, Thursday, November 24 was a regular workday for Bob. Most party-goers were other expats: a few coworkers from Missouri, the World Headquarters of Burns & McDonnell, and others from literally every corner of the globe…New Zealand, the Philippines, Syria, United Kingdom, Wales to name just a few. Most are, like Bob and me, "of a certain age" with kids grown or mostly grown – while others are in Qatar with small children in tow. One young family is preparing to have their third child in country, due December 5!
Together, they filled Curtis and Mary's house. Food, fun, frivolity, family skyped-in – and a glass of wine with the holiday meal.
Bob is now a happy resident of a one bedroom, one and a half bath townhome in the Porto Arabia "suburb" (http://www.thepearlqatar.com/SubTemplate1.aspx?ID=152&MID=116) of the exclusive Pearl resort in beautiful Doha, Qatar.
The living room windows lead to a balcony which looks out over the bay.
Bob said something fast about that window over the sink looking out over the elevator lobby (then he changed the subject). Sounds like a great opportunity to meet the neighbors!
Bob's apartment – the two second floor balconies on the right.
View from Bob's balconies. To the right of the red box are two men sitting on the back deck (to get an idea of how big the ship is). He saw a couple "wogging" along the riverfront too – a man and woman wearing tee shirts and shorts.
Furthest yacht on the left is the vessel from the previous picture. Bob's apartment is just to the left (and up) from that ship (doesn't seem right to call it a "boat").
Think this is a swank interior hallway? WRONG. This is one view of an OUTSIDE mall near Bob's apartment.
Another mall – this one's inside. The ceiling is painted with stars and yep, that's a gondola ride, complete with gondolier. There are malls-a-plenty in Doha; this one sports an Applebee's, TGIFriday, McDonald's, Burger King and a KFC – a local favorite, says Bob.
Today is Sunday and Bob was headed to church when we spoke at 9am in KC/6pm in Doha; now a 9 hour difference thanks to US daylight savings time. He did finally find the church, an unadorned stucco appearing structure with lights arranged in a circular shape around the door. More about that another time.
Bob, please comment and tell us something about these buildings?
Beginning Sunday, November 6, Muslims everywhere commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son to God with Eid al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice. The celebration begins at the end of the Hajj – the holy trip to Mecca - at the descent from Mount Ararat; about 70 days after Eid al Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of fasting known as Ramadan.
Isaac is bound to an altar and Abraham raises his knife. At that moment, the angel of God stops Abraham, saying, "…now I know you fear God…" (Genesis 22:12) God provides a ram for the sacrifice instead.
I leave the Ishmael/Isaac dispute to the theologians.
To prepare for Eid al-Adha, Muslims make wudu (ablution), offer Salat al-Fajr (pre-sunrise prayer), assure personal cleanliness and dress in their finest clothing. All meet for Salat al-Eid (prayers) in a mosque or other special place. The Imam speaks. And then, celebrate!
Those who can afford it sacrifice their best (farm) animal and break it into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives, friends and neighbors and one for the poor and needy.
Bob isn't Muslim and doesn't expect to participate in Eid festivities (this year). Instead he'll celebrate Eid al-Adha with five days off work (Friday, November 4 through Tuesday, November 8) – a great chance to get to know the city: shop the malls, peruse the souq, find the Catholic Church (an unmarked building beside a mosque), visit the beach, buy towels and sheets for his new apartment (move in day November 15!!!) and more. He has his own car now and plenty to do.
What do you want to know about Doha?
It's very hot in Qatar, so the office dress code is what might be considered Super Casual Saturday in my neck of the woods: tee shirts, jeans, cargo pants. No ties. This photo may be Bob's first visit to the job site, even as his office is right next door, overlooking construction, as befits a Senior Architect working the Construction Administration phase of a huge project.
Required – hardhat, steel toed boots and vest. The boots appeared on his desk chair one day, just his size. Vest and hardhat? In stock.
In other words…lots of construction going on!


Huge increases within the thousands and the introduction linked to new tests and avenues have led towards a new need additional for surgical lab employees. Experts do think the quickest growth will almost certainly exist in diagnostic a lab and doctors' offices. However, forecasts are that private may have the most beneficial quantity of employees on the inside of the area and a person will see more readily obtainable jobs than the wide variety of qualified medical you specialists to fill your own job openings.

Flatulance, while this might be an oversimplification, is essentially the process from which Azospirillum convert nitrogen gas to plant usable, ammonia (NH3). When it comes to nutrition nitrogen is the limiting factor in plant growth, playing a key role in almost every process of a plants life. In effect, azospirillum also affect almost every process of a plant's life. So yeah, it's pretty important!
Nitrogen exists in our air and our soil. Actually, 78% of our atmosphere is made of nitrogen (N2). The way it exists in our atmosphere doesn't do much for our plants unless it can take on a solid form. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria take in nitrogen the way that we do oxygen.
Then they excrete it as a solid form that plants can use. When nitrogen is taken from gas to solid, it is called nitrogen fixation.
There are two main types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria: free-living and mutualistic. The free-living bacteria are the self-sufficient, independent radicals of the group. Azospirillum is a mutualistic type of bacteria that creates symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the soil and the roots that grow in it. They are also known as root-colonizing bacteria or rhizobacteria.
The efforts of azospirillum can only be matched by a couple of other rare events in nature that require much more energy than releasing a few little bacteria to do the dirty work. Other natural elements responsible for nitrogen fixation include: ultraviolet radiation, electrical equipment and being struck by lightning. We suggest sticking with picking up a bag of Xtreme Gardening Azos for your azospirillum fix.
Are All Bacteria Created Equal?
There are three different strains of azospirillum- amazonense, brasilense, and lipoferum. Along with a few other defining characteristics, it is their cell size and shape sets them apart from one another. They all have been found to work well with grasses, sugarcane, rice, maize and sorghum. Although, their little bacteria-sized magic works when applied to other types of plants as well.
Azospirillum amazonense differentiates itself from the other two common strains due to its ability to be more resistant to soil acidity than the others. This is good to know if dealing with soil that has a lower than ideal pH score.
Azospirillum brasilense is probably the most well-known and common bacteria used in plant growth. It has been studied more than other species of azospirillum. It is the species of azospirillum that is most often used in fertilizers and growth supplements available today. To get heady, what chemically sets this specific bacteria apart is its ability to use the beneficial carbohydrates ribose and mannose. Without the presence of Azospirillum brasilense your plants would have a hard time making use of the sugars that ribose and mannose provide.
Azospirillum lipoferum's name can be translated to "small, fat bearing, spiral". This species of azospirillum is set out from the others for elongating the roots in plants more than the other species.
You Wanna Put What in My What?
Azospirillum is a grower's little helper. When adding azospirillum to your soil, you are allowing them to go to work on the root zones of your precious plants. The bacteria reproduce and multiply on the root hairs and create little swollen bumps called root nodules. It is inside these nodules that these little bacteria do the work, you might say they can work from home… They convert nitrogen gas to ammonia (NH3), an important element that you find in fertilizer and is very beneficial to plant's health.
Ready to brush up on your Latin root words? Azospirillum is considered a biofertilizer because it is living ("bio") and promotes growth ("fertilize"). When you add azospirillum to your soil, it offers gas exchanges and nutrients that are beneficial to the growth of your plants. The use of biofertilizers helps to avoid using chemical fertilizers and helps you to enhance your grow in a more natural way.
Supplementing with azospirillum in your grow will help your plants convert nutrients into energy and grow at a faster rate. It is a growth tool and supplement. The benefits of using this bacteria have also shown to help plants become generally stronger all around. Scientific studies have proven that incorporating azospirillum in your grow will increase drought resistance in plants, provide protection against the adverse effects of salts, and increase resilience when faced with toxicity and pollution within their environment. Basically, azospirillum gives your plants superpowers.
The best product we have come across to boost azospirillum content is Xtreme Gardening's Azos Beneficial Bacteria Natural Growth Promoter. It comes in 2oz, 6oz, 12oz and 8lb bags to serve all sizes of grow operations. It puts to work the most commonly used azospirillum brasilense to bump up the growth rates of your plants. Azos is a product with a history of helping to create world record-breakingly large plants and produce, such as the 2015 pumpkin that weighed in at 2,230.5 pounds! You can use this product on your fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs, or whatever else you choose to grow in your garden.
Again we are going to emphasize using Xtreme Gardening's Azos if you are looking to introduce Azospirillum to your grow, don't waste your money on the other brands.
Azos can be used in all different growing mediums from soil to hydroponics to aquaponics. If you are going to use it in your initial setup or a backyard garden, add a tablespoon to the hole you will be placing your plant in. Alternatively, you can also apply it directly around plant roots or dust the entire root ball with one tablespoon of Azos.
To make the best use of it when growing clones, make a mixture of four tablespoons of Azos and a gallon of 6.0 pH water. Soak your material of choice (i.e. coco, rockwool or plugs) in the mixture for about 10 minutes. While your material is soaking, make a more potent solution that is one part Azos and two parts 6.0 pH water. Use this dense solution to soak the root tips of your clones in for about 15 seconds before putting them in their presoaked plugs.
If you have an automated system that delivers your water and nutrients, you can add Azos to that as well. Make sure that your water's pH is at 6.0 and add one tablespoon to every gallon of water in your reservoir. Your system will do the rest!
To have the same effect during the vegetative stage, you can mix a light solution and use it to water in your plants. You will want to mix two tablespoons of Azos to every five gallons of water that you add to your reservoirs or soil. The manufacturer recommends applying this mixture once a week to see the best results. Use warm water (65-80℉) when mixing any type of solution to better allow the Azos to disintegrate and be evenly distributed.
For super crazy results, you could brew Azos with Xtreme Tea Brews at the rate of two tablespoons per gallon and applying it weekly.
Planting legumes and bean crops (i.e. clovers, alfalfa, peanuts and soybeans) help to fertilize the soil and fix the nitrogen in the areas they are planted. Leguminous crops are great for your garden. They already have root nodules that house nitrogen-fixing bacteria. When your plants are alive and thriving, they use the fixed nitrogen for themselves. The great thing about them is when they die, all that great fixed-nitrogen sticks around in the ground. By rotating your crops, you can release the benefits of those leguminous crops upon the next crop that are placed in that same area of soil. Make sure to let your nitrogen fixing plants die before removing them for the added nitrogen benefits.
Who knew that these little buggers could have such a big impact on your grow? Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are a great tool to have in your arsenal to help your plants grow to the best of their potential. Releasing azospirillum into your soil to convert the nitrogen that exists in our air to a form that they can use is like being a great wingman. You're giving them a leg up they wouldn't have had before.
The thing we like the most about using azospirillum is that it is all natural. They eliminate the need to use chemically, genetically engineered fertilizer to get better results out of your grow. Way to Grow loves its Azos, and so will your plants!


Three actors have been offically cast in Marvel Studios' The Punisher series on Netflix scheduled to debut in 2017. The previously-rumored Ben Barnes has been cast as Billy Russo, with Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Micro, and Amber Rose Revah as Dinah Madani.
"I'm really excited about the cast we're assembling alongside Bernthal as Frank Castle," said showrunner Steve Lightfoot. "I look forward to watching Ben, Ebon and Amber embody these characters and breathe vivid life into the story we are crafting for this season of Marvel's The Punisher."
Barnes' Billy Russo is described as Frank Castle's best friend from his time in the armed forces. Now out of the service, he runs a private military corporation dubbed Anvil.
Girls' actress Moss-Bachrach plays Punisher's long-time comic book sidekick Micro, whom Marvel describes as "a former NSA analyst whose secrets may be of great value to Frank Castle and everyone around them."
Dinah Madani (played by Amber Rose Revah) is a Homeland Security agent who is "vexed" by Castle.
"We couldn't be more thrilled about the remarkable talent joining Jon Bernthal in Marvel's The Punisher," said head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb. "Ebon, Ben and Amber are incredibly talented actors and we can't wait to see them bring these characters to life."

Aerosmith Stars in Guitar Hero Videogame
Other Rock Groups Are Expected to Follow
As Sales of Traditional CDs Continue to Slump
By Nick Wingfield and Ethan Smith
July 1, 2008 12:01 am ET
Guitar-heavy grooves have helped Aerosmith pack concert halls and sell more than 150 million albums during its nearly four-decade career. Now they've landed Aerosmith and a growing lineup of other rockers a new gig: headlining videogames.
Last weekend, a new game called Guitar Hero: Aerosmith went on sale, the latest installment in the hot-selling Activision Inc. franchise and the first to let players jam along with music centered on a single act. A version of Guitar Hero featuring the metal band Metallica is due out within the next year, and Activision is in serious discussions with Van Halen about showcasing that band in Guitar Hero as well, people familiar with the matter say.
Other major acts are also in serious talks with Activision and Viacom Inc.'s MTV Networks, maker of Guitar Hero's rival, Rock Band, about licensing their songs to the music games.
As traditional CD sales continue to decline, the agreements are deepening an unlikely collaboration between the game and music industries that has created an important new source of income and cachet for artists. The deal-making also illustrates the game industry's success at expanding beyond its origins as a pastime for hardcore enthusiasts to reach broader audiences by offering more casual forms of entertainment, such as Nintendo Co.'s WiiFit exercise game.

Те́ло — кольцо с единицей, в котором каждый ненулевой элемент обратим. Иными словами, это множество с двумя операциями (сложение и умножение), обладающее следующими свойствами:
 образует абелеву группу относительно сложения;
 все ненулевые элементы образуют группу относительно умножения;
 имеет место дистрибутивность умножения относительно сложения.

Возникло как обобщение понятия поля (которое может быть определено как тело с коммутативным умножением). По теореме Веддербёрна всякое конечное тело является полем. Самый известный пример тела, не являющегося также полем — тело кватернионов .

Свойства

По лемме Шура кольцо эндоморфизмов простого модуля является телом; таким образом, каждое тело может быть получено из некоторого простого модуля.

Центр тела является полем, любое тело является векторным пространством над своим центром и алгеброй над своим центром.

Вариации и обобщения
Альтернативное тело — в общем случае неассоциативное кольцо с единицей, в котором каждые два элемента порождают ассоциативное подтело.

Report on Michoacan-Guanajuato (Mexico) — May 1988
Scientific Event Alert Network Bulletin, vol. 13, no. 5 (May 1988)
Managing Editor: Lindsay McClelland.
Michoacan-Guanajuato (Mexico) Fumarole temperatures decline
Global Volcanism Program, 1988. Report on Michoacan-Guanajuato (Mexico). In: McClelland, L. (ed.), Scientific Event Alert Network Bulletin, 13:5. Smithsonian Institution. https://doi.org/10.5479/si.GVP.SEAN198805-341060.
Volcano Profile | Complete Bulletin
Michoacan-Guanajuato
19.85°N, 101.75°W; summit elev. 3860 m
Geologists mapped fumaroles and measured temperatures on 8 and 16 May. As in previous years, fumaroles were hottest at Ahuan vent (figure 1) but had cooled to 336°C, from 473° in November 1985 and 375° in November 1986. The area seemed morphologically unchanged since April 1983. Fumaroles at Sapichu vent ranged from 186° to 275°C, an increase of as much as 120° since they were last measured in April 1983. Sulfur continued to be deposited around the Sapichu fumaroles. All other fumaroles at Parícutin had temperatures of <200°C, most <100°. Fumaroles on the crater rim and along major flow levees ranged from 60° to 80°C, essentially unchanged since April 1983.
Figure 1. Distribution of fumaroles at Parícutin, May 1988. Fumaroles were found in the shaded areas (stipple pattern, <100°C, solid pattern, >100°C). Three vents are labeled: Ahuan (A), the main crater (P), and Sapichu (S). The W and SW margins of lava flows surrounding the cone are indicated by the stippled border.
Geologic Background. The widespread Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field contains over 1400 vents, including the historically active cinder cones of Parícutin and Jorullo, covering a 200 x 250 km wide area of Michoacán and Guanajuato states in west-central México. Cinder cones are the predominant volcanic form, but small shield volcanoes, lava domes, maars and tuff rings (many in the Valle de Santiago area), and coneless lava flows are also present. The shield volcanoes are mostly Pleistocene in age, and have morphologies similar to small Icelandic-type shield volcanoes, although the Michoacán-Guanajuato shields have higher slope angles and smaller basal diameters. Jorullo, which was constructed in the 18th century, and Parícutin, which grew above a former cornfield during 1943-52, are the two best known of the roughly 1000 small volcanic centers scattered throughout the volcanic field.

Summer Adventure Parks Offer Vermont Mountain Family Fun
May 21, 2014Activities, Bromley Mountain, GENERAL, Magic Mountain, mara, Okemo Mountain Resort, Smugglers' Notch, Stowe Mountain Resort, Sugarbush Resort, Summer
Think winter is the only time for your kids to have fun at Vermont's ski resorts? Guess again. Summer brings a slew of adventure activities that don't require snow or skis. My family has a long tradition of spending summer vacation in the Vermont mountains and we're never at a loss for things to do. From climbing to ziplining to bungee trampolines there are lots of options.
Here's a look at what some Vermont ski areas have on tap for families in the summer months.
Skim through the treetops with Arbortrek Canopy Adventures
My family and I spent a wet summer afternoon flying through the mountain canopy at Smuggler's Notch. With an impressive eight ziplines (the longest is 1000 feet) the guided tour lasts for several hours. In addition to flying down the lines, you also get to rappel down from platforms and cross a suspension bridge.
Got younger kids who are too light for the zipline? Arbortrek also offers two aerial trekking obstacle courses, one of which is designed for kids ages four and up. Other options for adventure fun at Smuggs include geocaching and rock climbing. There's also great hiking nearby. Try the challenging trail to Sterling Pond, which is the highest stocked trout pond in the state.
Ride the gondola to the top of Vermont's highest mountain at Stowe Mountain Resort
The gondola ride at Stowe Mountain Resort isn't just for skiers – during the summer you can ride to the top with your family. Have lunch at the Cliff House Restaurant, or hike all the way to the summit so that you can say you've stood in the highest spot in the Green Mountains. If you're feeling a little less adventurous, or have a little one who is napping in the car, you can also drive up the Auto Toll Road, which ascends to 3850 feet.
Other fun options at Stow Mountain Lodge include the Alpine Slide – which has two tracks, so you can have the satisfaction, as I did, of beating your trash-talking child to the bottom. There's also a climbing wall and a bungee trampoline. Feel the need for a little luxury when you've finished your outside adventures? The spa at Stowe Mountain Lodge offers treatments for grownups and kids alike.
Play a round of disc golf at Sugarbush Resort
Even kids who have never thrown a disc before will enjoy the mountainside course at Sugarbush, which adds a touch of fun competition to a walk in the woods. My kids also love the fact that they are walking on ski trails.
Sugarbush also offers a variety of fun other activities including lift rides to mountain biking or hiking trails (moose occasionally wander across the paths in the summer, adding to the excitement). On hot days, drive to one of the many swimming holes in the nearby Mad River to cool off or enjoy a maple creemee at Maynard's on Route 100.
These aren't the only mountain resorts offering families summer fun. My son loved the Timber Ripper Mountain Coaster at Okemo Mountain Resort when we were there on a ski trip in March; I'm sure he'd love it equally this summer. The Okemo Adventure Zone offers other fun as well, including a new self-guided treetop tour with platforms, bridges, and cables.
Bromley Mountain has a giant swing, mini golf, a trampoline, and that king of all summer fun: A waterslide. And the TimberQuest Park at Magic Mountain offers more treetop fun for families.
Dates of operation generally start around Memorial Day weekend and run through the summer months; check with individual resorts for specific dates, times, and age restrictions for various activities. Many of these mountains also have day camp options for kids – schedule individual days or entire weeks.
Mara Gorman may live at sea level now, but she's a native New Englander and mountain aficionado who grew up skiing in Vermont. She spends as many days each winter as she can chasing her two teen boys through glades and across mogul fields and regularly journeys far and wide to get on the slopes. Mara blogs about her family's many travel adventures at The Mother of all Trips. She is also the author of The Family Traveler's Handbook and an award-winning freelance writer whose work has appeared in various USA Today print publications as well as on websites such as BBC Travel. When there's no snow, Mara and her family can be found hiking, biking and eating around the United States and Europe.

Richard McKinley Davis Jr. passed away on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at his home with his family by his side.
He was born in Coalfield, Tennessee. He was raised and lived in Oliver Springs his entire life. He graduated from Oliver Springs High at the age of 16, received a B.S. degree from the University of Tennessee and his master's from University of Arizona.

Students question irregularities in U of T vote - Macleans.ca
Students suggest irregularities in U of T vote
Results show incumbent slate won four of five spots
by Zane Schwartz
For the first time in eight years, a member of a non-incumbent slate appears to have won an executive position with the University of Toronto Students' Union (UTSU), the association that represents full-time students at U of T's Mississauga and downtown St. George campuses.
That's significant because the UTSU has been embroiled in controversy in recent years, including accusations that it runs elections in ways that make it nearly impossible for non-incumbents to win. For example, the union leadership resisted electoral reforms including a switch to online ballots last year, though that was eventually implemented after a threat from the administration. In recent years, incumbents brought in friends from other Canadian Federation of Students-affiliated student unions to campaign for them. This year, opposition members expressed outrage when Rajean Hoilett, incoming Ryerson Students' Union president, claimed to be a U of T student while campaigning on behalf of the incumbent slate, U of T Voice.
The unofficial results of last week's election, announced Monday, showed that U of T Voice won four of five executive positions: Yolen Bollo-Kamara, current vice-president equity, appears to have won the presidential race along with Voice members Cameron Wathey, Grayce Slobodian, and Najiba Ali Sardar in three of the four vice-president positions. Pierre Harfouche, who is from the opposing slate, Unite, appears to have won the other vice-president spot.
But it's not over yet. All of the races were close and both sides are expected to ask for recounts after every race featured a very high number of spoiled ballots. For example, Slobodian received 2,574 votes, edging out Unite competitor Nicky Bhatty's 2,559 by just 15 votes with 1,264 spoiled ballots. Some students who supported Unite are already raising concerns about those spoiled ballots. "I find the numbers to be very peculiar," says Aidan Fishman, a representative on Governing Council, U of T's highest decision making body.
Unite ran on a platform of trying to resolve disputes with dissatisfied campus groups. Last year, students at Trinity College and Victoria College (U of T groups its students on the St. George campus into seven "colleges") and the Faculty of Engineering voted to leave the union, decisions UTSU refused to recognize. The groups argued that their respective local student associations could better represent them after, according to them, UTSU engaged in years of undemocratic practices, such as refusing to allow certain motions to be considered at annual meetings and disproportionately penalizing opposition candidates in elections. The university administration had been trying to mediate over the past year, but UTSU withdrew from these discussions in the middle of the campaign. U of T Voice ran on a platform of introducing a fall reading week and advocating for increased mental health supports on campus. Both slates said they would work to lower tuition fees, increase clubs funding and move forward with construction of the Student Commons, a student centre that the administration won't allow to go ahead until the conflicts are resolved.
Ben Crase, a member of the UTSU board and co-head of Trinity College, says that the opposition slate faced an uphill battle because U of T Voice's incumbent candidates were closely involved with those in charge of the electoral process. Bollo-Kamara and Wathey sat on the Elections and Referenda Committee this year, which hired Chief Returning Officer Alex Flor and set the rules for the election. The chair of that committee, which decides appeals on any CRO decision, is Munib Sajjad, the current UTSU president.
Crase is suspicious of the high number of spoiled ballots and other alleged irregularities including the decision to extend voting at the Mississauga campus Friday, which the CRO said was done because the campus closed early on Thursday due to bad weather. Voting was not extended online, however, or for students at the downtown St. George campus, which did not close. Unite also raised concerns with Flor about the presence of an extra polling station at Mississauga on the added day of voting that they claim they were not informed about. Unite requested the votes at the polling station be thrown out, which Flor denied. "What happened with Mississauga was completely unfair," says Harfouche. "How are we supposed to compete when only one slate knows where all the places to vote are?"
Unite was also not allowed to publish their website and some posters for the first 36 hours of the election because Flor had not approved them. They wanted to say students pay $345.48 to the union but Flor told them they had to change that number to approximately $17, the per semester amount the union uses to operate after distributing funds earmarked for things like health insurance plans. According to UTSU rules, the CRO must approve all campaign material. Flor subsequently gave Unite a combined 29 "demerit points" for, among other offenses, speaking to The Varsity. Candidates are disqualified if they accumulate enough demerit points.
After the procedural hurdles, the withdrawals began. On March 4, Voice candidate Candi Chin-Sang dropped out of the race and endorsed Unite. On March 6, the only independent executive candidate, Luis Moreno, dropped out at the all candidates debate and endorsed Unite.
On March 14, Flor disqualified Unite candidate Anna Yin and fined her $795. Yin was accused of a number of offenses such as making false statements. On appeal, her disqualification was overturned, though she still has to pay a fine of $360.
The unofficial results need to be ratified by the UTSU's board once all recounts and procedural complaints have been addressed. The board is tentatively scheduled to meet this Friday.

Camulus swore vengeance, claiming that no one Talon loved would be safe—they all would die horrible deaths in front of his eyes. When, after everyone else he loves has dies, Talon's sister is murdered in front of his eyes, he barters his soul to Artemis for the chance to protect strangers from the vampires that stalk the night. Two thousand years later in modern-day New Orleans, he meets Sunshine—a woman who, against his will, makes him love again. Of course, it's Mardi Gras, and New Orleans is filled with vampires, Dionysius in the middle of a complex plot, and Camulus as his confederate.

Report: Iran seizes tanker carrying 'smuggled fuel'

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard seized a ship in the Persian Gulf suspected of carrying smuggled fuel, state media reported Sunday, marking Iran's third seizure of a commercial vessel in recent weeks and the latest show of strength by the paramilitary force amid a spike in regional tensions.
State TV and the semi-official Fars news agency reported that seven crew members were detained when the ship was seized late Wednesday carrying 700,000 liters of "smuggled fuel" from Iran. The local reports did not provide further details on the vessel or the nationality of the crew.
The news agency reported that the ship was seized near Farsi Island, where an Iranian Guard Navy base is located. The island sits in the Persian Gulf between Saudi Arabia and Iran, north of the Strait of Hormuz.
"This foreign vessel had received the fuel from other ships and was transferring it to Persian Gulf Arab states," Fars quoted Gen. Ramazan Zirahi, a Guard commander, as saying.
Interested in Iran? Add Iran as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Iran news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
This would mark the third vessel seized by the Guard in the past two weeks, and the second accused of smuggling fuel.
The U.S. Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, said it did not have information to confirm the reports. Maritime tracking experts also said they did not have any immediate information about the incident or the vessel.
Illegal fuel smuggling out of Iran is a concern of authorities there. Iranian media reported last month that some 8 million liters of government-subsidized Iranian fuel are smuggled daily through Iran's borders to other countries where prices are much higher.
Tensions have soared around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping waterway that lies between Iran and Oman. The U.S. has boosted its military presence in the region and six oil tankers have been targeted in the Gulf of Oman in unclaimed acts of sabotage that the U.S. blames on Iran. Iran has denied any involvement in those attacks.
On July 18, the paramilitary force seized a United Arab Emirates-based oil tanker, the Panamanian-flagged MT Riah, for allegedly smuggling some 1 million liters (264,000 gallons) of fuel from Iranian smugglers to foreign customers.
The following week, the Guard's naval forces seized a British-flagged vessel in the Gulf in what some Iranian officials suggested was retaliation for the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker in a British Royal Navy operation off Gibraltar. The U.K. says the Iranian oil tanker was suspected of violating European Union sanctions on oil shipments to Syria. Iran denies the ship was bound for Syria but has not disclosed its destination.
The tensions are rooted in President Donald Trump's decision last year to withdraw the U.S. from Iran's 2015 nuclear accord with world powers and impose sweeping sanctions on the country. Iran recently began openly breaching limits set by the nuclear agreement, saying it cannot abide by the deal unless European signatories provide some kind of economic relief.

This week saw the publication of another mass of financial services (FS) related material as part of the UK's preparations in case the UK exits the EU without the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) and the proposed Transitional Period (TP) ('no-deal').(i.e. The no-deal regime, which would take effect at 11.00 pm UK time on Friday 29th March next year, is based on the onshored version of retained EU law/regulation, as modified under section 8 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA), a process sometimes referred to as Nationalising the Acquis (NtA).
In the past few weeks, HMT and UK regulators have published over 2000 pages of material about the NtA regime. This week HM Treasury (HMT) published another 6 NtA statutory instruments (SIs) (see Documents 3 to 8 below) and, following on from 900 pages of NtA material from the FCA two weeks ago (see our update for the week ending 12 October 2018), the Bank of England and the PRA published a raft of NtA material comprising 7 separate Dear CEO letters/consultation papers (see Documents 2.1 to 2.7 below).
Our RegZone database of NtA instruments now lists 25 SIs being promulgated by HMT and tracks their current status (draft awaited, draft published, laid before Parliament and enacted). The database also includes the draft NtA instruments (relating to rulebook changes and the modification of the onshored version of EU binding technical standards) which have been published by the UK regulators.
As we explained in our April 2017 report, exiting the EU and the single market legal order removes the legal basis for a mass of FS regulatory provisions that depend on those DRC arrangements between the UK and the EU-27/EEA-3; these extend far beyond the basic mechanics of passporting. In each case, the NtA process would remove the DRC references and related provisions (with EU/EEA states/firms being treated instead as third countries/third country firms) and remove the single market/pan-EEA dimension of regulation (and replace it with UK only based provisions).
To allow/provide for the DRC measure to be switched off but act unilaterally to introduce temporary measures/transitional arrangements, on a UK only basis, to help smooth the transition/change (under either HMT section 8 SIs or under the proposed powers for the regulators to make transitional arrangements referred to above) (transitional arrangements).
The UK cannot, of course, change the law and regulation, which UK firms face in the EU/EEA; it can only change UK law and regulation as it applies to UK firms and EU/EEA (and non-EEA) firms. The UK's strategy is to publicly and fully debate the NtA issues at an early stage and promulgate the necessary transitional arrangements as part of the NtA process. It is doing so on the assumption that the transitional arrangements will be made on a unilateral basis without any bilateral agreement and, therefore, without seeking to making these measures (which mostly benefit EU-27/EEA firms) conditional on reciprocal treatment for by the EU for UK firms. The UK has found it very difficult to engage the EU on the question of transitional arrangements for a no-deal scenario (i.e. how, when the legal framework for DRC falls away, the switch to third country status would operate in practice). It seems that the negotiating politics on the EU side are to take a hard line and keep their powder dry for as long as possible and they have only recognised publicly the need for very limited measures. In a recent speech (see our update for the week ending 5 October) Steve Maijoor, representing ESMA, has hinted that the EU might be deciding to introduce a temporary recognition regime for UK-CCPs. Of course, the EU might, at a later stage, relent and, even without any bilateral agreement/treaty, it could, on - a voluntary basis - reciprocate and coordinate EU/EEA measures with those made by the UK.
Against this background HMT and the UK regulators have been reviewing the impact of NtA changes to UK regulation and considering (in broad terms the three options above). HMT has already announced its approach and now the UK regulators are consulting on NtA changes to technical standards and their rulebooks. In the CP's published last week (Documents 2.4 to 2.7 below), the Bank of England and PRA are consulting on these issues by identifying the changes and indicating whether there will be an element of permanent retention and, if not, whether the changes will take effect immediately on exit (immediate switch to third country basis) or whether the change will be subject to transitional arrangements. They are planning to use their transitional powers broadly to delay the application of onshoring changes ,with certain limited exceptions, so that firms providing services within the Bank's and PRA's regulatory remits do not generally have to prepare now to implement onshoring changes by exit day.
EU-27/EEA market operators (of regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities and organised trading facilities) will lose their MiFID II passporting rights for UK activities. HMG will not be introducing a temporary recognition regime for market operators. See our previous commentary here.
HMG will not be retaining the EU's Cross-Border Payments Regulation (CBPR) because it cannot find a way to retain/modify the regulation without placing UK payment service providers at a disadvantage on the pricing of Euro transactions. See our previous commentary here.
'The PRA's proposed changes to the Depositor Protection and Policyholder Protection Parts of the PRA Rulebook and the proposed changes described in Chapter 8 of CP26/18 would take effect on exit day and the PRA is not proposing to grant transitional relief.
Requirement for a contractual recognition term (recognising bail-in rules) in contracts governed by third country law (which will include those under the law of EU-27/EEA states). The PRA [see Document 2.5 below] 'does not propose to grant transitional relief in respect of liabilities that are intended to count towards a firm's MREL. Therefore, EEA law governed liabilities, other than phase two liabilities, that are issued or materially amended after exit day and that are subject to the PRA's Contractual Recognition of Bail-In rules, would not be subject to the temporary transitional power and would be required to include a contractual recognition term'.
The PRA [see Documents 2.4 and 2.5 below] does not propose to use the temporary transitional power in respect of the Stay in Resolution rules ' in respect of new or materially amended non-UK EEA law governed financial arrangements in scope of the Stay in Resolution Part of the PRA Rulebook'.
HMT proposesthat UK firms will be able to treat UCITS in the EEA as automatically non-complex instruments and they will continue to be able to take advantage of the PRIIPs exemption for EEA UCITS. See our previous commentary here.
Existing UCITS rules on cash and investment will be maintained so that UK UCITS will still be able to hold cash at EEA credit institutions. See our previous commentary here.
In payment services, many UK institutions hold safeguarding accounts in the rest of the EU, the UK government is proposing to allow institutions to hold safeguarding accounts anywhere in the world, providing the institutions meet specific criteria. See our previous commentary here.
firms and FMIs would continue to report and disclose regulatory data on the same basis as before exit day'; The PRA is proposing (in Document 2.5 below) to take a somewhat hybrid approach on current reporting and disclosure definitions where, in most cases, existing definitions will be retained, making only minor changes to reflect the UK's withdrawal. (The PRA does stress however, that given the underlying regulatory change firms might have to report different data). The PRA wishes to avoid the costs for firms of introducing new templates at exit. Changes that are made may be subject to transitional relief.
HMT has introduced the TPR and TRR for financial services sectors. You can access our commentary on the ones relating to financial services firms and central counterparties (CCPs) here. The single market passporting rights of EEA FS firms will be turned off by NtA modifications; as a result they may need UK authorisation, but the TPR will provide a temporary permission for these firms under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA)to allow them to continue to operate in the UK either on a services or branch basis as they operated under the single market passport prior to exit. This temporary permission will provide time for them to obtain UK authorisation. The TRR will provide temporary recognition for non-UK CCPs in a similar way.
There will also be a temporary permission regime for alternative investment funds (AIFs) which will work in a broadly similar manner to the one mentioned above. See our previous commentary on the issue here.
HMT also proposed a temporary permission regime for payment services. The regime works in a broadly similar manner to the ones mentioned above. See our previous commentary here.
Requirement for a contractual recognition term (recognising bail-in rules) in contracts governed by third country law – as noted above, the PRA proposes to grant transitionary relief in respect of phase two liabilities.


Modest fashion took center stage for the first time in Jakarta, with the Indonesian capital playing host to the latest Modest Fashion Week on July 26. Taking place in the opulent settings of the iconic Gandaria City, the four-day event also focused extensively on giving a platform to disabled designers to create fashionable clothes specifically for Indonesia's disabled community through its Dream & Design for Disabilities initiative.
Over the course of Jakarta Modest Fashion Week, thousands of visitors had the chance to interact with talented international designers from countries such as Russia, Canada and Australia as well as from local communities. They were also able to enjoy numerous fashion shows and exhibitions and participate in workshops.
The event is the brainchild of Turkish fashion entrepreneur Ozlem Sahin and Indonesian-born fashion consultant Franka Soeria, who co-founded fashion consulting and branding company ThinkFashion. They are focused on establishing a firm niche for the modest fashion market through tailored events.
"Modest fashion designers kept on doing something wrong, like focusing on the wrong event, wrong marketing, and you know this cost them a lot of money," said Soeria.
Soeria said she and Sahin were determined to create a fashion event that would benefit these entrepreneurs.
Sahin added that organizing such a large-scale event was a logistical challenge and teething problems were to be expected.
"Execution is not always easy you know, since there are many international people coming; the first days of any event are always more and more challenging. There is a huge team working, like more than 100 people, but they needed to be coordinated with each other. I think we can improve that area, but generally the first day was kind of smooth actually from our side, for example keeping to schedule on the talk shows and fashion shows," she said.
However, despite the possible issues Sahin highlighted, the initial consensus among visitors at the Jakarta Modest Fashion Week was positive.
Sri Artaria Alisjahbana, a local journalist who runs Noor, a lifestyle magazine catering to Muslim women, highlighted possible logistical issues such as poor sound quality and lighting, but added such events were important for raising Indonesia's profile in the modest fashion market.
"The Indonesian community should use this opportunity to go global, and Franka is doing a good job in this regard. She knows the global market but it is a pity that not many more Indonesian designers participated here," she said.
Designers that spoke to were also optimistic that the Jakarta Modest Fashion Week would provide them with a platform to effectively showcase their designs.
"This is a great event and hype for it has been very good. Many of my friends who are social influencers have been helping to promote it and this has helped attract potential customers and business partners for the local fashion industry," said Linda Anggreningsih, an Indonesian designer who runs a successful women-owned start-up on scarf called Bottonscarves.
She added that the organizers had offered "fair" rates to set up a stand at the Jakarta Modest Fashion Week and was able to recoup her expenses after the first day of exhibiting, especially as Gandaria City Mall is known for its affluent customers. Although she is primarily focused on developing her customer base locally and regionally, she said attracting international clients was her next goal due to growing awareness of the modest fashion market.
Haslina Halim, who has co-founded her own fashion design company Rajai in Brunei, said such events have helped bring the modest fashion community together. She added that Jakarta Modest Fashion Week provided an effective platform to designers from smaller countries such as Brunei to showcase innovative products such as Sayee's range of intricately beaded headscarves.
"We wanted to do something beautiful, something different, because we understand that printed hijabs are becoming a trend. People are looking for different designs on how hijab should be, so we use our intricate beading techniques to deliver handmade designs for various seasons or the place that we are in," she said.
Halim added that while the Jakarta Modest Fashion Week has effectively promoted designs from around the world, she believed it needed to do more to attract more local and regional talent rather than focusing its efforts on bringing in international designers.
Medina Zein, Indonesian woman business owner echoed Halim's sentiments and said the Jakarta Modest Fashion Week would help entrepreneurs from the industry to cultivate exposure for their businesses. She, however, suggested moving future editions of the event to a more conventional space such as a conference center rather than a shopping mall.
Sahin said it was not clear when the Modest Fashion Week would next take place in Jakarta. However, she was adamant that the next time the event does happen in Asia, it would not be in any other city other than the Indonesian capital.
Stay tuned as Goltune News continues to bring you coverage from the event.

Public Protection and Ethical Dissemination of Geospatial Data – Social and Legal Aspects
Geospatial information (GI) has become widely used by government, the private sector and by ordinary individuals for an increasingly diverse range of purposes. GI forms the basis for GPS systems and maps; these in turn are used in a broad range of applications which include navigation tools, land use planning, resource management, mobile marketing, tracking and surveillance.
This project, which is funded by the GEOIDE network, brings together researchers from law, geography, engineering and geomatics to explore some of the legal and ethical issues raised by this near ubiquitous use of geospatial information. For example, work has been done on issues around the quality of geospatial data, and its suitability for use in various contexts.
As one of the legal experts involved in the project, my work has explored issues along two main axes. First, I have looked at questions surrounding the ownership and licensing of geospatial data. Second, I have explored issues around geospatial data and privacy, including those raised location-based services, intelligent transportation systems, and information maps.
Publications related to my work on this project can be found in my publications list under the heading geospatial/digital cartography.

The Wiener Moderne (German pronunciation: [vinɛʁ mɔˈdɛʁnə]) or Viennese Modern Age is a term describing the culture of Vienna in the period between approximately 1890 and 1910. It refers especially to the development of modernism in the Austrian capital and its effect on the spheres of philosophy, literature, music, art, design and architecture.

The conservative-catholic monarchy Austria-Hungary came under emperor Franz Joseph I. in its high and final phase. While industrialization is comparatively sluggish, a large administrative apparatus overarching the country, and nationality conflicts in the multi-ethnic state coming to a head, in the centers of the empire (Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Trieste, Zagreb, etc.) there are intellectual achievements in the development of often contradictory principles , Opinions, scientific approaches and trends. The capital city of Vienna, which has more than 2 million inhabitants around 1900, is the melting pot of Central European cultures, because it is where the economic and intellectual hegemony of the upper classes gathers.
The political life in Vienna is complex and tense. Social Democracy (Victor Adler), Zionism (Theodor Herzl) and Austromarxismus (Otto Bauer) develop. Mayor Karl Lueger uses public anti-Semitism as a political strategy in his own words. In 1914, 9 percent of Viennese citizens are Jews. They play an important role in artistic and scientific work, such as Karl Kraus, Arthur Schnitzler, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schoenberg and Alfred Polgar of Jewish faith.
In the milieu of conservative pomp and progress the artists turn, contrary to the naturalism, the interior and the psyche. It comes to ego decomposition. Ernst Mach describes the ego as "unsaved". The connection between the ego and society, the ego and the world, is no longer based on reason, but rather on the boundaries between dream and reality, between reason and feeling. A "mood" for the contemporaries often expresses more than can be said in terms.
The import of ideas took place via direct personal relationships of avant-garde committed individuals. Friedrich Nietzsche and Richard Wagner played an important role in public discourse. The literary critic and author Hermann Bahr constantly commuted between Berlin and Vienna, thus subjecting himself to permanent change through ever newer ideas. He is first a Wagnerian and a follower of Bismarck, then a Marxist, a naturalist, a symbolist, finally an expressionist and, at the end, a conservative Catholic. A decisive year for the implementation of the new ideas of Viennese Modernism (contrary to historicism in architecture and literature) was in 1897 with the founding of the Secession. The architect Adolf Loos was impressed throughout his life and influenced by his stay in America from 1893 to 1896, especially in Chicago and New York.
Characteristics of the Wiener Moderne[edit]
Significant personalities and works[edit]
Philosophy[edit]
Ernst Mach was an influential philosopher of science and physicist. Ludwig Wittgenstein made important contributions in analytic philosophy and philosophy of language. Sigmund Freud caused a revolution in psychology through the foundation of psychoanalysis. He published in 1899 (dated 1900) his famous book "The Interpretation of Dreams".
Architecture[edit]
The architect Otto Wagner wrote a book titled "Moderne Architektur von 1895" (en: Modern architecture of 1895), in which he declares the era and predominance of the historic style (especially the buildings on the Ringstraße in the neo-Greek, neo-roman and neo-baroque styles) to be over. He did not know of the term "Moderne" yet, he only spoke of the necessity for architecture to keep up and adapt to new technological developments. Otto Wagner himself would make use of new building materials such as steel and iron and encompass it into his work.
Adolf Loos designed some of the most well known structures of the period. These included the Looshaus, the American Bar, and the Steiner House, among others. The Looshaus in Vienna (also known as the Goldman & Salatsch Building) marks the rejection of historicism, as well as the ornaments used by the Wiener Secession. Adolf Loos received the assignment in 1909, and the building was finished in 1910. Upon opening, its appearance shocked Vienna's citizens, since their overall taste was still very much historically oriented. Because of the lack of ornaments on the façade, people called it the 'house without eyebrows'. The American Bar, also known as the Kärntner Bar, showcases Loos' combination of simple, unadorned forms with opulent materials and fine, simple detailing to give a modern, rich impression. The Steiner house was designed for the painter Lilly Steiner and her husband Hugo. It is located in a Vienna suburb. The Steiner house became a highly influential example of modern architecture; it played a significant role in establishing Loos' reputation as a modern architect to the audience outside of the Viennese community, and became an obligatory reference for architects during the 1920s and 30s. Almost all of the literature of the Modern Movement has reproduced the garden façade as an indisputable example of radical rationalist modern architecture.
Art[edit]
Café Griensteidl, gathering place for members of the Young Vienna circle, in 1896 (Reinhold Völkel)
The most notable literary grouping of this period was the Young Vienna movement, a society of "coffeehouse literati" centred on the writer and critic Hermann Bahr. Bahr's 1890 work Zur Kritik der Moderne (On Criticism of Modernity) established the word modernism as a literary term, whilst Die Überwindung des Naturalismus (The Surpassing of Naturalism) published the following year, declared the then current style of naturalism to be at an end. He was influenced in this by developments in French literature, notably symbolism, which he had encountered while studying in France (1888–1890) where he had come to know the works of avant-garde writers such as Joris-Karl Huysmans, Paul Bourget and Maurice Barrès. Bahr proclaimed a new Romantik der Nerven (romanticism of the nerves), which concentrated on the impressions and sensations of the human soul; in this he referred back to developments in the still new science of psychology and his critical writings were consequently influenced not only by literary writers but also by psychologists, notably Sigmund Freud, and the philosopher of science Ernst Mach. The literary consequence of this Romantik der Nerven was the encouragement of literary forms that foregrounded the perceptions of the individual, among them the unreliable narrator and the interior monologue.
Bahr used his position in Vienna as a theatre critic and feuilletonist to promote other members of the Young Vienna circle, most notably Hugo von Hofmannsthal, who met at the Café Griensteidl and later at the Café Central. Other members of the group included Arthur Schnitzler, Peter Altenberg, Felix Salten, and Stefan Zweig, all of whom, though disparate in styles and interests, demonstrate different facets of the character of the Wiener Moderne in their writing. Schnitzler created one of the earliest examples of modernist stream of consciousness writing in Lieutenant Gustl (1900), and his most famous work, Reigen (La Ronde) (1897), is typical of the fin de siècle interest in sexuality. Hofmannsthal's early poems show the influence of the French symbolists and Stefan George's aestheticism, whilst his work as a librettist for Richard Strauss reflects the interpenetration of the different branches of the arts typical of the epoch. The aphorist Altenberg is notable as much for his archetypically bohemian lifestyle as for his writing. Salten, best known nowadays for his later children's books, is widely regarded as the author of the infamous pornographic novel Josephine Mutzenbacher, a sign arguably of the decadence that was associated with the period. Zweig (also a librettist for Strauss) was, in addition to his own stylistically polished writing, a noted translator of the symbolists, and later a passionate defender of a collective European culture in the face of aggressive nationalism, reflecting the openness of the epoch to foreign cultural influences and indeed the melting pot of different cultures that was part of fin-de-siècle Vienna.
The other dominant voice in Viennese literature during this period was the satirist Karl Kraus. Originally Kraus had been associated with the Young Vienna writers but he broke with them and attacked them in his 1897 essay Die demolierte Literatur (Demolished Literature), which was written after Café Griensteidl burnt down. In his periodical Die Fackel (The Torch), Kraus regularly satirised lazy journalism, which he considered to be exemplified in the feuilleton writing of many of his contemporaries, but his interests ranged over many of the other issues which were prominent in the cultural life of fin-de-siècle Vienna, among them Zionism, psychoanalysis, political corruption and nationalism, all of which he attacked in the pages of Die Fackel. The antagonism between Kraus and other leading Viennese cultural figures, which in the extreme case of his criticism of Felix Salten's feuilletons led to Salten assaulting him in the street, but also encompassed spats with Freud, Theodor Herzl and Hugo von Hofmannsthal among others, might be seen as a sign of the vigorous debate characteristic of the period.

Луїс Віллануева () — баскський підприємець, президент клубу «Депортіво Алавес» із міста Віторія-Гастейс. В 1944—1946 роках 7-й, за ліком, президент головного футбольного клубу Алави.

Життєпис
Луїс Віллануева був із сім'ї впливової баскської знаті, бо лише таким родинам доручалося керування спортивними тогочасними клубами басків. Його предки керували громадою міста, відтак і Луїса обирали в різні громадські асоціації. Коли в місті постав спортивний клуб Віллануева стали його акціонерами-партнерами, і так триває покоління за поколінням.

Луїс Віллануева продовжував родинні фінансові справи і був активним партнером клубу, а надалі його обрали в 1934 році очільником футболу міста, президентом «Депортиво Алавес». Прийшовши до команди на її часі падіння, коли баски розпродавши кращих виконавців докоманд Більбао та Сан-Себастіана, опустилися до аматорської регіональної ліги, йому довелося перебудувати клуб та відносини в команді. Завдяки залученню інвестицій, удалося приманити кілька нових і перспективних гравців, які допомогли команді протриматися, у наступному сезоні 1934—1935 років. Сезон 1935—1936 років також нічого кардинального не змінив, але вболівальникам вселив надію, що команда, з відродженою назвою «Депортіво Алавес» вже не зникне.

Але Громадянська війна в Іспанії перекреслила всі плани футболістів та вболівальників. Довелося футболіста обмежитися лише випадковими товариськими матчами із командами сусідніх міст. Та ще й частина футболістів та сосіос клубу були рекрутовані до військових формацій. Такі урізані і турніри-матчі тривали допоки військова кампанія не наблизилася до Алави, але Луїса Віллануеви уже не було в клубі, він передав стерно влади іншій знатній сім'ї Луїса Мансо Руїса.
