Йозеф фон Гормайр (; 20 січня 1781, Інсбрук, Австрія — 5 жовтня 1848, Мюнхен, Баварія) — австрійський історик, австрійський і баварський державний діяч. Політичний радник Андреаса Гофера.

Біографія
Йозеф фон Гормайр народився 20 січня 1781 в місті Інсбрук. Бувши онуком канцлера Тіроля, Гормайр вже в 20-річному віці був призначений на посаду в австрійському міністерстві закордонних справ, а в 1803 році став секретарем двору та директором державних таємних архівів. Однак, в 1805 році, після принизливого для Австрії Четвертого Пресбурського миру Тіроль був переданий Баварії, Гормайр заявив свій протест.

У 1808 році до Відня прибув капітан Андреас Гофер, з детальним планом широкого народного руху в уярмленому Тіролі. Незабаром Гофер і його сподвижники (Гормайр, Гаспінгер, Шпекбагер та ін.), шляхом усної пропаганди, повідомили цей план всьому Тіролю.

8 квітня 1809 року передовий загін Гофера атакував баварські контингенти; а іншого дня, 9 квітня повстав весь Тіроль. Гормайр став політичним радником Андреаса Гофера. Ним були складені кілька патріотичних прокламацій

Гормайра не оцінили при віденському дворі. У 1813 році він спробував інспірувати антибаварські протести в Тіролі, але був заарештований. У 1816 році у вигляді невеликої розради Гормайру була запропонована посада віденського придворного історика. Однак його розчарування в політиці Відня було таке сильне, що в 1828 році він прийняв пропозицію короля Баварії Людвіга I про надходження на баварську державну службу. Після чотирирічного перебування у ранзі радника Міністерства закордонних справ Баварії в 1832 році Гормайр був призначений міністром-посланником Баварії в Ганновері, а з 1837 по 1846 роки обіймав цю ж посаду в Бремені.

Найбільш помітна праця Гормайра — двадцятитомник під назвою «Австрійський Плутарх» (; 1807—1812), що є збіркою нарисів про найбільш видатних австрійських військових та державних діячів. Деякі роботи Гормайра присвячені досить давній історії. Зокрема, книга «Критико-дипломатичні питання історії Тіроля в Середньовіччі» (; 1802—1803, 2 томи). Інші його книги стосуються подій недавнього минулого й тому набувають яскраво виражений полеміко-публіцистичний характер. Вважається, що достовірність свідчень Гормайра не абсолютна, оскільки йому властиво завжди висувати власну фігуру на перший план. Це особливо стосується памфлетів Гормайра, пов'язаних з тірольським опором 1800-1810-х рр., але частково також і книги «Загальна історія новітнього часу, від смерті Фрідріха Великого до Другого Паризького світу» (; 1814—1819).

Значною заслугою Гормайра є також видання журналу «Архів географії, історії, державознавства та військової науки» (; 1810—1823), що публікував матеріали з історії, літератури й культури всіх народів імперії.

BSM helps organisations set up and run Lean and Operational Excellence programs. Generally these are corporate initiatives affecting many sites in a variety of geographical locations.
Lean programs are by no means generic. Some organisations or sites are under severe competitive pressure and need to achieve results quickly while others are more interested in building the capability of the organisation with a view to meeting longer term challenges. Really these are opposite ends of a spectrum, and the kind of Lean Programme which meets needs at one end of that spectrum may be profoundly unsuitable at the other end. We use our vast experience to assess where an organisation lies on this spectrum and design an approach which meets that organisation's unique needs.
The BSM team is uniquely expert in the application of Lean techniques in Life Science and Food and Beverage companies. Every programme begins with an assessment or 'diagnostic' phase – our familiarity with the sector, and our deep expertise and experience in the application of Lean techniques, allows us to quickly identify and validate improvement opportunities and create a future vision of a value stream which is often unrecognisable when compared to the current reality. However our real value add is our ability to help the client to make that vision a reality. This is no idle boast – we encourage you to ask our clients!

Onze Kunst van Heden (A Nossa Arte de Hoje) foi uma exposição realizada no inverno de 1939 a 1940 no Rijksmuseum em Amesterdão. Devido à ameaça de invasão nos anos que antecederam a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o governo da Holanda armazenou muitos itens da colecção permanente do Rijksmuseum. O resultante espaço vazio da galeria foi utilizado por artistas holandeses contemporâneos para exibir e vender a sua arte. Foi organizado pelo director do Rijksmuseum Frederik Schmidt Degener. A exposição foi aberta a todos os artistas, sendo que cada artista podia inscrever quatro peças. 902 artistas exibiram 3200 obras de arte em 74 salas e gabinetes do Rijksmuseum.

On a recent trip motoring through Greece, we pulled into a service station and gassed up. I handed the clerk my credit card.
This conversation wasn't moving much. But he understood the situation enough and was able process the payment using just the chip embedded in my US-issued credit card.
To combat fraud, European credit card issuers have opted for a two-stage security process. In addition to sticking a microchip in the card that is read when it is scanned, the cardholder also needs to have a PIN. He or she enters it when the transaction takes place.
If that card is lost or stolen, the new possessor is likely out of luck without that PIN. It's anyone's guess as to why the Americans haven't adopted this measure, since they just spent billions of dollars to issue new cards nationwide that carried the chip. Couldn't they have added the PIN feature at the same time? Debit cards use them, so why not credit cards?
Unless we all move to Europe, though, we'll have to make do with the cards currently in our wallets. They're getting safer year by year, but trouble seems to lurk around every corner where billions of financial transactions are concerned.
If you're buying online with a credit card, look for an "S" to be tacked onto the "HTTP" in the web address line. This stands for "secure," and indicates that the merchant is scrambling communications between its website and your browser. That should keep the bad guys at bay. (HTTP, btw, means Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, which is the protocol over which data is sent).
Most merchants these days also will ask for your CSC – card security code. This is a three-digit numbers group that is separate from your account number. Thanks to these transactions taking place at the speed of light, the merchant is transmitting your data to the card issuer and instantaneously halts the purchase should those numbers not match.
Of course, anyone who holds your card and isn't blind also knows that CSC (thus, the PIN is to my way of thinking a better idea).
Now, if you're at a restaurant or department store and use your card, you're going to get a receipt to sign. Bank of America advises that if you see any blank lines on that receipt, draw a line through it to make sure no one can come in after you and pencil in some fresh numbers.
If you have a choice between a credit and debit transaction with the same bank card, experts say you should choose credit. There are stringer fraud protections with credit cards. And if something bad does happen, a credit card liability is capped at $50. With a debit card it's $500, or in some cases more.
Plus, bear in mind that your debit card is linked to your bank account. Not so with a credit card.
Have a merry, safe shopping, holiday season.

Picture of the Day: Solidarity With Syria

Students in Canada are showing solidarity with Syrian refugees — and raising funds for CNEWA.
From The Catholic Register:
Many members of the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac Student Union (ACSSU) have grown up in Canada watching from a distance as civil wars tear apart their homelands and force their relatives and friends to flee. As tensions rise and more people are displaced, ACSSU members believe they can make a difference.
From 16 to 19 November, ACSSU chapters at Toronto's Ryerson and York Universities and the University of Toronto; McMaster in Hamilton, Ontario; and Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, set up camp in front of their school's student centers to raise awareness and money in support of refugees in Iraq and Syria. For three nights and four days, ACCSU members are experiencing the "Life of a Mesopotamian Refugee."
"We're here to raise awareness and money for people who are not here," said Rosemary Yachouh, president of ACSSU Canada. "I'm just hoping to get the word out. … I want to make myself feel what people back home are feeling for the extent that I'm able to."
About 12 students slept in tents for three nights without electronics and other conveniences. The students only ate food brought to them by others.
During the day, students handed out flyers and talked with passers-by about the plight of displaced peoples in Iraq and Syria. They also visited classrooms to talk to different student groups about donating money to send much needed food, shelter and clothing overseas.
ACSSU hopes to raise at least $25,000 for the Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA).
Generally, Yachouh said people have been open to being engaged in conversation. Students want to know more about what's going on?in the world. Many have passed by their tables and tents to share their thoughts and feelings about the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut.
"We're not just about raising money. We also want to get people's time. We want to tell them what's happening," said Yachouh. "So by having a physical presence and actually giving ourselves that experience of living like refugees, I think it shows the Canadian community that there is a bigger thing happening outside of this country."

Indian Christians fight government rules against priests (UCANews.com) Church leaders in eastern India's Chhattisgarh state are struggling against a local law that helps Hindu hardliners stop Christian priests from setting foot in certain villages. "The atmosphere in the state is not very conducive for Christians anymore," said the Rev. Abraham Kannampala, vicar general of Jagdalpur Diocese. "We feel threatened as we are a small minority." In the latest incident, a Pentecostal gathering in Kohkameta village of Baster district was attacked on 15 November. Assailants dragged worshippers from the church, beat them with sticks and demanded that they reconvert to Hinduism, witnesses reported.

The Greek Catholic Churches of the Former Yugoslavia
Byzantine traditions remain strong among Greek Catholics in the former Yugoslavia. Fresco from the church of St. Clement, Ohrid, Macedonia. (photo: Sean Sprague)
Yugoslavia, the "land of the Southern Slavs," was the fruit of an intellectual concept born in Europe in the 19th century. Members of the intelligentsia speculated that a union of the Balkans' Southern Slavs — Catholic Croats and Slovenes, Muslim Bosniaks and Orthodox Macedonians, Montenegrins and Serbs — would free them from the yoke of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires, which had competed for control of the Balkan Peninsula for centuries.
In December 1918, after the collapse of the two empires, an uneasy union was achieved, and the king of Serbia proclaimed its head. The Yugoslav experiment proved defective as rival groups jostled one another for supremacy, particularly after the death in 1980 of its longtime strongman, Josip Tito.
The Yugoslav state collapsed in 1991 and its former constituents turned on one another in a bloodletting that did not abate until the new millennium. Bosniaks, Croats, Kosovar Albanians and Serbs were all complicit in mass murder, ethnic cleansing, rape and other acts of wanton violence.
Lost in the confusion were Yugoslav minorities — Greek Catholics, Jews and Protestants. The Greek Catholics of Yugoslavia were particularly vulnerable; perceived by both Croat and Serb extremists as neither Catholic nor Orthodox, they included six distinct groups: Macedonians and Serbs who accepted papal authority and followed the rites of the Orthodox tradition; Greek Catholic Croats from the village of Žumberak; Greek Catholic Rusyns who left the Carpathians in the 18th century; Ukrainian Greek Catholics who left Galicia at the turn of the 20th century; and Romanian Greek Catholics living in the Serbian province of Vojvodina.
After the Yugoslav kingdom was created in 1918, the Holy See extended the jurisdiction of the Eparchy of Križevci, (erected in 1777) to embrace all Yugoslavian Greek Catholics. Since the disintegration of the Southern Slav state, the Holy See has regrouped them into three separate jurisdictions: The Eparchy of Križevci, near the Croatian capital city of Zagreb, includes about 18,260 people living in Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2001, the Holy See established an exarchate for Greek Catholics living in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Led by the Latin bishop of Skopje, it includes some 11,300 faithful. In 2003, the Holy See set up an exarchate for Greek Catholics in Serbia and Montenegro and includes about 22,000 members, most of whom are ethnic Rusyns living in the Serbian region of Vojvodina.

CNEWA Visits Virginia

Late Sunday night, my colleague Norma Intriago and I returned to New York City after an inspiring trip to Lynchburg, Virginia, where we paid a visit to St. Thomas More Catholic Church.

Nestled near the Blue Ridge Mountains, not far from the border with North Carolina, Lynchburg is an overwhelmingly Protestant enclave in the South — among other things, it's home to Jerry Falwell's Liberty University — but the parish family at St. Thomas More is vibrant and enthusiastic and proud of their Catholic identity. They also care passionately about what is happening to Christians in the Middle East, particularly in Iraq and Syria — which is why they invited us to come and talk about CNEWA.
The pastor, the Rev. Msgr. Michael McCarron, is a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre; he's made 15 pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and is getting ready to lead his 16th next spring. He's also a longtime CNEWA supporter and reader of our magazine, ONE. He and his parish team gave us a warm and enthusiastic welcome. They've already raised funds for Christians by selling cookbooks and small decorative ceramic tiles for the Year of Mercy, and they've made awareness of the plight of Christians a priority.
I preached at all three Masses — drawing some connections between what has happened in Paris and what is continuing to happen to people in Iraq and Syria — and Norma gave an excellent PowerPoint presentation that told more about the work we do and the mission we've undertaken.

The response was overwhelmingly positive.

We thank the good people at St. Thomas More for their hearty welcome and passionate commitment to CNEWA's work in the Middle East and around the world — and we need to give a special shoutout to Tom Lucente and Sybil Frey, who were our gracious hosts. And the big-hearted, big-voiced Msgr. McCarron made our visit a joy. Thank you!
We hope to come back soon.
Meantime, if you'd like us to visit your parish, drop us a line. We'd love to meet you and spread the word about how you can make a difference in the lives of the people CNEWA serves. Simply contact Norma Intriago at nintriago@cnewa.org.

Iraqi Refugees in Lebanon:
Bruised but Still Standing
by Raed Rafei

In the Autumn 2015 edition of ONE, journalist Raed Rafei looks at the plight of Iraqi Christian refugees in Lebanon. Here, he adds some additional thoughts from his experience reporting the story.
When you see a man in his mid-thirties, a father of four children, crying, you cannot but have a twinge in the stomach. Sarmad, like all the refugees I interviewed for my story on Christian minorities who fled their towns in Iraq and Syria because of invasions by extreme Islamist militias, feels completely hopeless. After a year in Lebanon barely surviving, relying on charity from his Catholic Assyrian Church and philanthropists, he is at the edge of a breakdown. It is very harsh to witness people in limbo, especially ones who are responsible for their families. Many told me they are unable to picture the future unless they are granted asylum in a western country, a chance that only a small percentage of refugees here will eventually have. In Lebanon, refugees lead a very difficult life in the absence of stable jobs and social and medical public care.
I remember vividly the look in Sarmad's eyes when I asked him if he would go back to Iraq. It was a very bitter gaze. He said, "Iraq! I hate my parents for being born there." His honest answer made me very uncomfortable. It's only when people are in their most desperate moment that they renounce their origins this way. But I could not blame him. What the refugees I've met told me is that they had witnessed a carefully studied plan not only to drive them out of lands they had lived in for centuries but also to wipe out their entire heritage. These refugees, who are very proud that they speak the language of Christ and practice ancient Christian rites, seem nevertheless hopeless that they could ever go back and rebuild their homes and towns. The sense of betrayal from their Muslim neighbors is strong. Many showed me, on their mobile phones, videos and images of ancient churches and convents purposely damaged and desecrated by fundamentalists. These were the churches where they held all their happy and sad ceremonies. I was particularly touched by the story of a father who told me how blessings from a saint in a shrine in his hometown in Syria cured his ill son.
Despite all the desperate stories I heard, I was moved by the unity I witnessed at a Sunday liturgy for exiled Catholic Assyrians. The church, which is rented for a couple of hours every Sunday to absorb newcomers, was packed with hundreds of people praying with their children. Even after having lost everything they had built throughout their lives, they were, at least, grateful they were now alive and safe. Afterward, the scene was very cheerful in the front yard of the church, with children playing and adults chitchatting.
I felt a real sense of solidarity in a community thriving and still standing; a bruised community, yes, but one that has not given up just yet.
Below is a video produced by Raed Rafei, showing the life of one refugee family in Lebanon:

The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar
Tom Holland | 4.16 | 3,309 ratings and reviews
Recommended by Olly Murphy (Wycombe Abbey), and 1 others. See all reviews
Ranked #31 in Ancient Rome, Ranked #36 in Ancient History — see more rankings.
Author and historian Tom Holland returns to his roots in Roman history and the audience he cultivated with Rubicon—his masterful, witty, brilliantly researched popular history of the fall of the Roman republic—with Dynasty, a luridly fascinating history of the reign of the first five Roman emperors.
Dynasty continues Rubicon's story, opening where that book ended: with the murder of Julius Caesar. This is the period of the first and perhaps greatest Roman Emperors and it's a colorful story of rule and ruination, running from the rise of... more
Dynasty continues Rubicon's story, opening where that book ended: with the murder of Julius Caesar. This is the period of the first and perhaps greatest Roman Emperors and it's a colorful story of rule and ruination, running from the rise of Augustus through to the death of Nero. Holland's expansive history also has distinct shades of I Claudius, with five wonderfully vivid (and in three cases, thoroughly depraved) Emperors—Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero—featured, along with numerous fascinating secondary characters. Intrigue, murder, naked ambition and treachery, greed, gluttony, lust, incest, pageantry, decadence—the tale of these five Caesars continues to cast a mesmerizing spell across the millennia. less
We've comprehensively compiled reviews of Dynasty from the world's leading experts.

Caribbean Revolutions and Revolutionary Theory
A sophisticated comparative study of the Cuban, Nicaraguan and Grenadian revolutions, using techniques derived from J. S. Mill and perfected by Theda S. Skopol. Despite the unfulfilled promise of all three revolutions, they do suggest that people have the potential to make history and affect positive changes.

CARICOM: Policy Options for International Engagement
"In CARICOM: Policy Options for International Engagement, the contributors bring a wealth of experience and knowledge in putting forward the critical questions policymakers must consider and answer, in charting the course and laying the framework for this coordinated structure and foreign policy plan. Divided into four sections, the volume firstly presents the perspectives that corroborate the need for collective action. The second section focuses on the emerging powers and the need for South to South Cooperation while the third section discusses the external trade negotiations and the impact of the loss of EU preferences and subsidies; the EPA and trade negotiations in the WTO; and the new CARICOM-US trade relations. In the fourth and final section, the volume is rounded out by an examination of the kind of cooperation that is needed first at the regional level to sustain economic development. The need for harmonisation of fisheries policies and the prevention of maritime degradation; the preservation of the environment and the need to reverse the effects of climate change; the need for a cohesive regional security policy and a viable air transportation industry as well as the legal framework to implement multilateral treaties are all examined as imperative to CARICOM's development of a coordinated regional foreign policy plan.

Cascade: A Novel
"Do not go gentle into that good night." I write it in blood on the walls of my mind.
A guesthouse in Jamaica's mountains offers the ideal retreat for elderly friends weary of changes that have transformed their city, and a plan takes shape to retire together in the country house overlooking the sea. Terrorized by gunmen in their Kingston home, however, Ellie and Dan relocate to Trinidad instead, splintering off from the group to join their daughter's family, yet keeping in close contact with Dan's sister, whose stepson will run the home. Against the development of Cascade, under its dangerously inept manager, unfolds a tale of violent intrusion and dislocation, of cold-blooded exploitation and murderous resentment.
Yet it is also a tale of love and courage persisting through physical and mental deterioration as a brilliant and compassionate woman struggles with a disease that can wreck the relationships she treasures most. Damaged by Alzheimer's and irrepressible by nature, Ellie proves thoroughly disruptive even within her own supportive circle. Beyond it, relocated to Cascade, she becomes a witness haunted by fragments of excruciating memory. As time overtakes the main characters, tricks of the mind intersect with actual events and with the increasingly menacing forces that close in on the fragile Ellie.
Cascade recounts the gathering trauma of psychological dismemberment and poignant efforts to connect against a background of social turmoil. The novel engages with the challenges of Alzheimer's disease in a Caribbean context, where displacement, memory, identity loss and resistance remain crucial and enduring preoccupations.
Cascade is an accomplished work of fiction by a writer of obvious talent. It examines the subject of growing old with sensitive honesty, through the stories of three main characters. Ellie succumbs to Alzheimer's disease, her husband Dan suffers slow physical debilitation even as his mental faculties remain sharp, and Dan's sister's Rosemarie, though still sound in body and mind, finds her freedom impaired by the selfishness and cruelty of younger relatives.

Case Studies on Educational Administration 5ed.
This book immerses prospective administrators in the realities of practice. Problem solving and decision-making skills are addressed through the use of open-ended case studies. Effective practice in school administration requires both leadership and management. In today's reform-minded, information-based society, practitioners must be able to frame problems correctly and then make effective decisions to ameliorate them. As leaders, district and school-level administrators are expected to focus on what should be done to improve schools; as managers; they are expected to focus on how to do things successfully. The cases in this book are designed to make students think about common problems of practice by encouraging them to bridge theory and practice. More precisely, the cases are intended to hone four essential practitioner skills.

Cases on Issues & Problems
Increased public awareness of the importance of education to national development has brought the work of the school and other educational institutions into sharp focus. The job of the educational manager/administrator in creating the climate for effectiveness and efficiency in the management of educational institutions must be seen as one of the most critical elements in the equation, if not the most. The factors that define the role of educational managers/administrators must be constantly studied. Despite the complexities involved, an understanding of the internal and external factors impinging on each institution will go a far way in dealing with issues and problems when they arise.
This resource is designed as a practical approach to integrating theory and practice. It is a tool to be used in diagnosing and treating situations that have the potential to derail the objective of providing society with an educational product that will contribute much to societal and individual development. School managers/administrators will find a number of situations depicted in the cases similar to their own experiences or dissimilar to the extent that no two situations are the same. What is relevant here is that the dynamic milieu in which educational management takes place throws up continuous challenges that must be faced and handled with professional expertise. Such expertise is born out of a knowledge base that is rich in practical experiences, theory and research.

The adventures, news updates, product reviews and aftercare advice from Detailed By Andrew
A Journey To The Unknown Part 2 Of 3
So it was not to be, I couldn't stay in Middlesbrough forever no matter how much I enjoyed my stay and the company of Mr Fryett of Crystal Clear. After the completion of our task on the Audi S3, we packed our tools away and said our fare-thee-wells. Dusk set in as the trusty Detailed By Andrew wagon sailed off past the Why Aye land of Newcastle just up the road...
The roads became more narrow, twisty and bleaker as I traversed through Northumberland National Park towards the Scottish border. My sense of direction dwindled as did the available amount of radio stations. It came to a point where I seemed to be driving forever with no hope of a service station, and I was left with no choice but to pull over in the woods, only to feel like I was on set in "The Hills Have Eyes" for the most eerie, erm, stop for a sight-see I have ever had.
Many miles later I finally arrived in Falkirk to my Premier Inn hotel where a couple of pints of Guinness and a Beefeater meal greeted me just as well as the the locals. Seriously, as an Englishman visiting Scotland my welcome proved there was nothing to fear. As it was just the start of the weekend and I was booked to be up there until Tuesday I had a night to relax and catch up with some personal admin work.
Before my scheduled visit I really needed to get my barnet sorted. A quick Google search lead me to The Ross Carter Barber Shop and I tell you now, they do a really sharp job there. Sat waiting in the queue I was familiarly acquainted with the usual Premier League commentators voices, Stoke were being beaten to my delight, and it was in no time at all that I was asked "So what is your preference - Celtic or Rangers?" A question that a young wee English lad alone in Scotland best answer diplomatically! In a strange twist of fate, Ross's father used to be a barbering tutor at a college local to me - Dudley Tech. I left, truly with a very fresh trim. With the brisk Falkirk air hitting the sides of my head - man, was indeed, not hot.
This window of time proved well in the end as Saturday's appointment to attend an Audi RS5 with Johnnie Hamill of Pro-Valet (www.pro-valet.net) fell through as the customer was sadly called into work on short notice.
These are the perils of our trade; we fully intend to provide our service to please the customer and pay our bills, but unexpected situations can dampen our efforts somewhat. Not to fear though, as Johnnie had another job lined up on a 2010 Mini Cooper that desperately required some love so he did.
Johnnie's works van is a mobile guy's dream. An MWB Transit T280 with enough space to pack everything you could require into. Much like the Crystal Clear van, I soon appreciated my own efforts to equip my diddy Peugeot Partner van in a space effective manner, otherwise there was just no way I could effectively compete!
Rocking up in the van, firing up the generator and linking the pressure washer to the water supply we were soon on our way after the initial inspection, and meet and greet with the customer.
Johnnie has been in the trade for more than 30+ years so there is more to his wealth of experience than I could possibly hope to include in this write-up, which is why I was keen to get some hours down working with him. There is only so much you can hope to learn on your own, or by reading books, or by watching videos after all.
Sadly this Mini was bereft of TLC, and Pro-Valet was the port of call to get it shining once more. I picked up tips from Johnnie to further up my game on the clay bar process, to name just one of many. Not that I had been doing it wrong or inefficiently, but there are some little tricks to make the side panels a little more comfortable on the hands.
One of the main educational points for me was getting to try the Rupes Bigfoot 15 for size (myself being a die-hard Flex user this was akin to a West Brom fan trying on a Wolves shirt, as some would say), but jokes aside it proved an opportunity to try out some polishing tools that I otherwise would not have unless I committed to buy them. In a strange turn of events, a young man happened to walk by wearing a West Brom jacket... Stifling my temptation to shout "Pulis Out!" Johnnie imparted some advice on how to get the most of the light cut pad and polish in conjunction with that particular machine.
I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Johnnie, and the lessons I learned will always shine through in my future work.
It wasn't just the tricks, working manner and tools that I had the benefit of learning form either. There was a particular protection product used on this visit that really shone through. I'll keep it a secret for now though, as I really want to offer it to you, the potential customer, some point soon... But not only that, some methodology that works well for mobile guys putting up with unpredictable weather. The customer was delighted with her car, and with Johnnie and I working somewhat in tandem we managed to get the whole thing done in 3 and a half hours. Those are Usain Bolt stats right there!

M'sian cleared of drug charges in S'pore now only has 10 days of quarantine to deal with in Penang
By N. TRISHA
3:16 PM MYT
GEORGE TOWN: Happy to be back home a free man, Beh Chew Boo, 38, now only has to deal with being quarantined for 10 days.
Beh said he was happy to be free and home.
"I am really happy to have seen my father at the airport.
"It was great seeing him again," said Beh, who is currently being quarantined at the Rainbow Paradise Hotel in Tanjung Bungah, for the government-mandated quarantine for foreign arrivals.
Beh, who has not seen his father in a while, was thrilled to finally meet him in person.
He escaped the noose on Oct 13,2020, after the Singapore Court of Appeal cleared him of a capital drug charge, finally walking out a free man on Tuesday (March 9).
The Straits Times reported that Beh was released after the same panel of judges dismissed a bid by prosecutors to proceed with the trial of four other non-capital charges against him.
The judges – Sundaresh Menon, Tay Yong Kwang and Steven Chong – came in with a 2-1 decision, the daily reported.
Beh, who was arrested in October 2016 at the Woodlands Checkpoint, faced five charges of unauthorised importation of controlled drugs on the same occasion to Singapore.
The prosecution, however, proceeded with only the first charge which involved the death penalty, while the other four charges were stood down.
Beh claimed trial and was convicted by the High Court on the charge of importing into Singapore not less than 499.97g of methamphetamine.
He was sentenced to death in early 2020.
At the time of the incident, Beh, who was 34 years old then, entered Singapore from Malaysia on a Malaysian-registered motorcycle.
The registered owner of the motorcycle was his friend and ex-colleague, while his girlfriend, Ting Swee Ling, was riding pillion.
The seized drugs contained not less than 742.82g of a crystalline substance, which was analysed and found to contain not less than 499.97g of methamphetamine.

Hofstra baseball lost the second game of their three-game series with Northeastern University, 5-1, on Saturday, April 6.
Vito Friscia led the Pride with three hits – including a solo home run – in the sixth inning, driving in the lone Hofstra run for the game. The solo shot was Friscia's 21st career home run, putting him alone in eighth on Hofstra's all-time home run list.
Northeastern's Sean Mellen kept the Hofstra bats quiet, pitching seven innings giving up just four hits, while striking out 12 en route to his fourth win of the season.
The Pride had chances, with Frisca on second in the fourth and Austin Gauthier in scoring position the fifth, but were unable to drive them in.
Michael James got the start for Hofstra, allowing five runs on 10 hits in just five innings of work.
James ran into the most trouble in the bottom of the second, surrendering a leadoff double to Jeff Costello of the Huskies, who then stole third.
A walk to Jake Rosen and a base hit from Ryan Solomon brought in the first run for the Huskies.
Both runners would advance on a double steal as a pitch in the dirt prevented a throw from Friscia, setting up a Michael Geaslen sacrifice-fly.
Kyle Peterson followed with a RBI single for the third run of the inning.
James escaped more trouble, getting a fly out before the lefty caught Peterson drifting too far away from first base and picking him off to end the inning.
Northeastern scored another run in each of the next two innings, courtesy of a Jake Farrell double in the third and Geaslen's RBI single in the fourth. Geaslen led the Huskies with three hits on the day.
Seamus Brazill came in the sixth inning and tossed three scoreless frames, limiting Northeastern to just three hits.
The Hofstra defense had a few highlights, with third baseman Daniel Page making a couple of long across-the-body throws in the second and fifth innings to save a pair of infield hits.
Friscia was great behind the plate to add to his big game, throwing out three runners attempting to steal, while also getting a stolen base of his own in the top of the fourth.
The loss brings Hofstra's record to 5-20 and 1-4 in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play as Northeastern (15-15, 5-3 CAA) tied the weekend series with one win for each side. The rubber-match will be played Sunday, April 7, at 1 p.m.

Click the images to get the larger ones.
Tree Of Life is the most expected film of this full calendar year. The film is directed by the reclusive Terrence Malick. It was expected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this year, but it did not happen. There were also calls from various festivals to get the film in Toronto, Venice, Telluride and New York. But none of the calls was answered. It will certainly now has only a theatrical release, which is actually great.
Some naysayers have gone out to say that the movie will not be even coming out this year. Todd McCarthy was a case in point saying that he believed that the film wouldn't even open this year, and would most likely premiere at Cannes in 2011, leaving most of us a little deflated.
After the departure of Bob Berney from Apparation, the distributor's owner has hired a consultant to aid in the release, which means that the company is working really hard to get the film released this year. So there is a chance the film will come out by December end.
Some people have got silly sources saying that Terrence Malick is trying to cut down the length of the film down to two and a half hours. He is also using the help of students from University of Texas, which sounds really silly.
There was also a mini review of the film from Thompson. She says that the film is a mystical exploration of the meaning of life, a journey in which a microcosm of a family mirrors the world; the difference between man and woman, husband and wife, are mirrored against nature and grace. It will change the language of movies. This sounds like something that comes out a fairytale or something. Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain shine in the film with their performances.
The film is certainly expected to hit a limited release by the end of this year. Malick is also working on his next film with the likes of Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz and Olga Kurylenko at the beginning of October. So we will expect Terrence Malick to work on the new film while simultaneously making changes to Tree of Life. Check out some of the images from sets of the film and tell us what you think are the release prospects of this film.

How Stamp Duty and Council Tax reform can provide windfall for North
|In Op-ed
|By The Fairer Share Team
This article is by Fairer Share founder, Andrew Dixon, and was first published in the Yorkshire Post on 10/07/2020. The original article can be read here.
THE Chancellor's solution to provide a temporary 'stamp duty holiday' on the first £500,000 of all properties sold until March of next year is a welcome one and may help to stimulate the housing market.
Will this policy have the desired effect? Potentially. However, many households will choose to stay put because they have lost their jobs, or are rightly concerned about the outlook for the economy or the industry in which they work. The stamp duty cut may bring forward purchases but it might not stimulate a flurry of activity.
This begs the question – why is it not permanent? As the Institute of Economic Affairs explained: "Making it permanent would get the property market moving and encourage those who want to downsize as well as those looking for family houses, freeing up homes for first-time buyers."
It is important to note that the cut in stamp duty majoritively benefits existing home owners as the saving is likely to be capitalised into house prices.
We should also remember that it is renters who have been at the sharp end of the effects of Covid-19 – this policy does very little to help the many renters who are struggling to get by.
The biggest savings will be received by those who own the more valuable properties, and given regional disparities in house prices, much of the benefit will accrue to those in London and the South East.
If the Government is serious about levelling up the country, then they need to build this short-term fix into a long-term solution.
To compound matters, modest properties and areas of the country with less property wealth are already being hit with higher council tax bills as a percentage of their property value.
This unfairness has been exacerbated by a lack of property revaluations since 1991. The effective tax rate on residential property is just 0.2 per cent in London, compared to 0.63 per cent in Yorkshire and the Humber.
Indeed, our country's two primary property taxes, council tax and stamp duty, have evolved into taxes that are neither reasonable nor right.
Meanwhile, across the country, we are seeing rising levels of inequality – both regional and intergenerational. These divides have been exacerbated by the financial crisis of 2008 and there are further challenges ahead as the Chancellor addresses the costs and the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) highlights that economies with more equal distributions of income and wealth tend to have stronger and more stable paths of economic growth than those with greater inequality. A fairer economy will lead to a stronger economy for our country.
The philosopher Sir Roger Scruton noted: "A conscious effort to direct resources northwards, and to provide for the people of the northern cities the education and career opportunities that currently exist to the south of them, would begin to heal one of the most painful divisions in our country."
For the Government to truly "level up" the country, as they promised during the 2019 General Election, the Autumn Budget must include the fundamental reform of property taxes, to put money into people's pockets, stimulating the housing market and the wider economy.
Fairer Share, a campaign I helped to found, proposes to scrap both council tax and stamp duty, replacing them with the 'proportional property tax' – a simple flat rate of 0.48 per cent on the value of property.
Central redistribution from London and the South East would maintain local council budgets, sustaining tax revenues while reducing property tax bills for 75 per cent of households across the regions.
If Fairer Share were to be adopted, Yorkshire and the Humber would receive an average saving per household of £615 per year, bringing an overall annual tax saving of £971m to the region. This would represent a huge boost to countless communities and their local economies.
Renters have thus far been ignored as part of the Chancellor's generosity. I believe the tax should be collected not from tenants, but directly from owners who are in a better position to pay.
If this were the case 8.7 million households would be removed from property tax altogether. This would be in line with international practice and would save local councils £400m in administrative costs. These savings could then be applied to more productive use – funding vital local services whose budgets have been stretched as a consequence of the current crisis.
On balance, the Chancellor's stamp duty holiday is welcome. But we need to go much further if we are to rebalance the economy. It's time we ensure that changes to how we tax property benefit those in key regions like Yorkshire, and those who rent as well as own property.
Andrew Dixon is the founder of Fairer Share – a new campaign to replace council tax and stamp duty with a fairer system.

Hunter x Hunter Releases New Trailer For Yoshihiro Togashi -PUZZLE- Exhibit
One of the exhibit's most illuminating features is the fact that the paintings on display contain a new system for determining the powers of the Nen. In fact, the paintings are the first of their kind.
Hunter x Hunter have released a new trailer for its Yoshihiro Togashi -PUZZLE- exhibit. The event is scheduled to be held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography on January 27 and February 2. As the first exhibit in Japan to feature the One-Punch Man, this event promises to be a thrilling one. Featuring Togashi's signature style of using the puzzle element to tell stories, this special exhibit will include several puzzle pieces. In addition, viewers will be able to see how Togashi came to be a One-Punch Man and how he continues to evolve as an artist.
Resuming weekly publication due to Togashi's health
Earlier this year, the long-awaited return of Hunter x Hunter manga was announced. The series had been on a four-year hiatus, due to the health of its creator, Yoshihiro Togashi.
When it came to the return of Hunter x Hunter, fans had to ask, is it coming back in a weekly or bi-weekly format? It's not known for certain yet, but a recent Weekly Shonen Jump issue revealed that the manga will be on a new schedule.
Togashi started updating fans on his progress on the series on Twitter. He revealed that he had completed rough drafts for the first seven-Hunter x Hunter chapters. In addition, he announced that he was planning to increase the staff for the manga.
Anime adaptation
Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of the Hunter X Hunter manga series, recently announced that he would host a puzzle exhibit in Japan. The puzzle exhibit will feature a variety of artwork and manuscripts related to the series.
The exhibition will take place at the Mori Arts Center in Tokyo from October 28 to January 9. There will be five main areas. These include the "Yu Yu Hakusho" section, the "Level E" area, the "Hunter x Hunter" area, the "Yoshihiro Togashi" section, and the "Atmospheric" section. Each area will feature a series of works that are connected to Togashi's work.
The "Yu Yu Hakusho" area will showcase action scenes and manuscripts that contain memorable lines. The "Level E" area will feature works related to the manga.
Retold story from the beginning
Hunter x Hunter have been a huge critical and financial success. It has become Shueisha's best-selling manga series. However, a recent Twitter account posted by manga artist Yoshihiro Togashi has fans wondering if it's the start of a comeback.
The story is set in a world where the Chimera Ants has taken over. They plan to subdue all mankind. Their queen is a man-sized ant who gives birth to progeny with characteristics of eaten species.
This slapstick romantic comedy was a favorite in the 1980s. Urusei Yatsura returned for a new anime run in 2022. But it's not the only new anime to be based on a manga. Tatsuya Endo's Spy x Family manga has also been adapted into an anime.
Changes in the power system used
If you have ever read Yoshihiro Togashi's work, you are probably aware of his signature style of combining manga with realistic art. The artist uses two different drawing styles to create a storyline that is both visually interesting and surprisingly poignant.
A few months ago, it was announced that Yoshihiro Togashi would be holding an exhibit. This special exhibition would display 350 original drawings and autograph manuscripts from his various works. It is scheduled to open on October 28, 2022 and will run through January 9, 2023. For more information, check out the official event website.
Togashi On Twitter
The creator of Hunter x Hunter, Yoshihiro Togashi, recently opened a Twitter account. He's now the second most followed manga creator on Twitter, with over 1.7 million followers.
In a recent tweet, Togashi teased Hunter x Hunter's return. While there's no official release date yet, the tweet got a lot of traction on social media. It received over 73,000 comments and over 215,000 retweets.
Hunter x Hunter are one of the most popular shonen manga series. But, for the last two years, the series has been on hiatus. This has left fans wondering what's going on. However, a recently posted picture and message indicate that Togashi is currently working on the manga.
According to Yoshihiro Togashi's Twitter, he is now working on four more chapters of Hunter x Hunter. He also revealed that he's finished rough drafts for ten chapters, which means that the final chapter should be finished by now.
An anime and manga enthusiast who has nothing more better than to do but just write amazing stuffs for the fandom.

Marlins Park atmosphere is worse than ever
By jsprt14, June 12 in Miami Marlins

Well that is encouraging to know that at least SOME of the games this year have a had a good or great atmosphere. I'm sure a winning team that is offensively competent will change things around, but how many years off are we from that being the case? How much longer can this status quo for Marlins last before relocation becomes a real possibility?
Relocation isn't a possibility because of the ballpark agreement. Also, MLB likes having a team here. Miami is a huge city. Don't listen to relocation talk, it's all BS. If the team hasn't left by now they won't leave anytime in our lifetimes. A "few more" bad seasons of lame teams and poor attendance is nothing compared to how may seasons that that has already been the norm here.
How many years are we from a consistently winning team? That's basically the one question we all (except Das Texan) are here to find out the answer to. Time will tell. That's our Endgame.

I've never been to Wrigley or Fenway but I have a hard time believing that those two ballparks have no forms of between inning entertainment and/or nothing that caters to casual fans such as games and popular music. If I'm wrong let me know but I'd be shocked. It's 2019.
National Anthem, 7th Inning Stretch, Sweet Caroline in Boston, and the occasional organ tune. I was pleasantly shocked by how little stadium noise there was outside of the natural sounds.
I will say that the experience is much better when the roof is open. And the renovations have helped a lot.

Wow, interesting.
With that said... that's the Cubs and Red Sox... do you actually think the Marlins, in this city, can actually get away with that? Just doesn't feel like something that would work in every city or for every team.

Winning is what brings people to the stadium and not a 7 game win streak in the middle of a 100 loss season. We saw this in 2003, 2004, 2005 where attendance was steadily increasing year to year. They still ranked near the bottom of the league but each year saw steady increases. The fans were coming back and would have continued to do so if they hadn't blown it up in 2006.
The year of stanton's homer chase, the crowds were electric. Every time stanton came up to bat everyone was going nuts. It didn't increase attendance by much (although still more than this year) since the team wasn't a winner, but the game to game crowds were a lot of fun.
As for the roof. Atmosphere is better with the roof closed. Its hot humid and unbearable even at the night with the roof open. I avoid those games whenever it's announced. Much more pleasant and a better experience when its closed and the AC is nice and comfy.

Not to mention it's even louder when it's closed, so even a small crowd can make a lot of noise.

Something Marlins Park suffers a great deal from. And I'm not talking good noise (home fans cheering). I'm talking incessant noise created by a DJ (a fucking DJ at a ballpark?!?!?!?!) and noises created by a production team.

Библиотерапија је употреба литературе и поезије у третману људи са емоционалним проблемима или менталним болестима. Библиотерапија се често користи у групном социјалном раду или групној терапији. Показала се успешном код особа свих узраста, са особама из институција и ван њих и код здравих људи који желе да деле литературу као средство личног раста и развоја.

Историјат библиотерапије
Од давнина, пре саме појаве писма на тлу Месопотамије, људи су користили приче да би описали стање у коме се налазе. Прве приче су биле религијског типа, најчешће у облику стиха. Свима нама су познате чувене Шехерезадине приче тј. приче из 1001 ноћи. Овим причама Шехерезада је спасила властити живот и свако вече увесељавала султана. Овде су речи и приче биле претече неке врсте терапије. Библиотерапија, савремена терапија и лечење помоћу књига, има свој дуг развитак који сеже још у античко доба.

У старим цивилизацијама читање је, осим забаве, имало и лековито и окрепљујуће дејство на дух и тело. Платон је у 4. веку п.н.е. сматрао да је књижевност важна за успостављање психичке равнотеже, док је његов ученик Аристотел, у својој Поетици записао да као катарза на ослобађање од негативних емоција гледаоца делују позоришни комади.
Певи трагови библотерапије
Први трагови библиотерапије налазе се античкој Грчкој у којој су њени учени људи придавали велики значај читању и учењу. Доказ за то су натписи на улазима у поједине библиотеке у Тебесу, Александријској библиотеци и другима, на којима је уклесано да су то "места (апотеке) за лечење (зацељивање) душе".

И стари Римљани су били свесни благотворног дејства читања. О томе говори Цицеронова изјава:

Библиотерапија у средњем веку и ренесанси
У средњем веку уобичајена је пракса читања верских текстова у затворима и менталним институцијама. Истоветан натпис као испред грчке или египатске библиотеке, пронађен је у самостанској библиотеци у Ст. Галену.

Свест о добробитима читања књига развијала се и у ренесанси, што потврђује и Шекспир, чији главни лик у драми Тит Андроник изговара:

Библотерапија у 20. веку
У 20. веку први су историчари и социолози из азијских земаља указали на историју читања, дошло је до проучавања кинеског и јапанског система писања, књижевних жанрова и навика читања који су се у великој мери разликовали од западних система.

Самјуел Кротерс је 1916. године започео да примењује термин библиотерапија "као метод којим књиге могу да утичу на промену понашања и ублажавање стреса". У САД, 30-их година 20. века, медицински стручњаци утврдили су и лековито дејство читања.

Након Другог светског рата библиотерапија је имала улогу окупационе терапије војника. Стечена искуства довела су до формирања библиотерапијских група у психијатријским установама.

Преокупацију пацијената књигом и лековито дејство њеног садржаја, препознали су врло брзо и социјални радници и иблиотерапија је тако постала саставни део групних третмана и терапијских заједница.

Током последње две деценије 20. века, библиотерапија постаје призната терапеутска метода чији се учинци све више испитују и кроз бројне клиничке студије.

Подела
У зависности од окружења у коме се примењује, библиотерапија може бити :
 Институционална
 Клиничка
 Развојна

Индивидуални и групни рад
Приликом библиотерапије практикује се индивидуални и групни рад кроз радионице. Индивидуалним радом боље се сагледава проблем али се групним радом постиже динамика. У сваком случају важна је индивидуална спремност за рад на себи. Ова терапија може позитивно да утиче и на усклађивање дечијег света, решавају се недоумице деце и повећава се њихов осећај самосталности.

Сви ми читамо сами себе и свет око нас како бисмо сагледали шта смо и где смо.  Библиотерапија је наука савременог доба, читање треба да буде лековито. У савременом друштву човек се све више осећа сам без обзира на сву технику и технологију којом је окружен. Да би преживео сав хаос у коме свакодневно обитава окреће се књизи и тражи спас у њој. Људска бића, створена по Божијем обличју, такође су књиге за читање. Ту чин читања служи као метафора која ће нам помоћи да схватимо наш колебљив однос према телу, сусрет, додир и одгонетање знакова у другој особи. Читамо изразе на лицу, пратимо покрете вољене особе као у отвореној књизи.
