Earle Elmer Meadows (June 29, 1913 – November 11, 1992) was an American pole vaulter who won a gold medal at the 1936 Olympics. His winning vault is featured in Leni Riefenstahl's film Olympia.

Meadows had a long rivalry with Bill Sefton, his teammate from the University of Southern California. They shared the AAU title in 1935 and the NCAA title in 1935 and 1936. In May 1937 they both set a  new world record at 4.48 m and then at 4.54 m. Meadows set two more world records (indoor) in 1941, winning three more times.. In 1948 he cleared 4.42 m, but later finished only sixth at the Olympic trials and thus was left out of the Olympic team. In retirement he ran a musical instrument business in Texas.  He was Inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches Hall of Fame, Class of 2016.

Jensen Leisure Furniture LLC, as the distributor of your 100% FSC certified Ipe furniture, undertakes to guarantee all products against both material and manufacturing faults and defects for a period of five (5) years from date of purchase. In each case a digital photo will be required to qualify a warranty decision. A free replacement of any defective part covered by this warranty will be made available during this period.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility, in any way, for damage caused by misuse, negligence, alteration, abuse or accident, and such damage shall be construed as a breach of contract. Neither shall the manufacturer be liable for damage due to acts of nature, fading, natural aging of the timber, greying, or non-structural, natural occurring timber features and surface checking. From exposure to the elements, especially in very dry climates, end grain checking may occur in Ipe. This in no way affects the stability of the furniture, is natural, and therefore is not covered under warranty.
Jensen Leisure shall not be liable for, and specifically excludes, any claims caused directly or indirectly by any event or matter beyond its control, including incidental, consequential or contingent damages suffered as a result of a breach of this written warranty or any implied warranty. This exclusion shall not in any way affect your statutory rights by law. No other warranty, either written or oral, shall be authorized by Jensen Leisure Furniture LLC. In the event the furniture is used in a commercial setting, other than domestic purpose, the guarantee as referred to above, shall apply for a period of three years from date of purchase only.
Jensen Leisure Furniture produces heirloom furniture that will be handed down through generations. Our specifications ensure that your furniture will endure the extremities of nature and repeated sittings throughout a lifetime of reading, dining, and gardenside solitude. Longevity begins with the quality of our timber.
The Ipe timber that goes into Jensen Leisure Furniture is certified by Rainforest Alliance as 100% FSC® Pure. Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) certification is the global "gold standard" in independent, third-party forest certification. It guarantees that the wood contained in our furniture comes from well-managed forests. The FSC logo and "Chain of Custody" number branded on Jensen products allows you to track the wood back to the forest where it originated.
Our Ipe timber comes from the Chiquitania tropical dry forests of Bolivia. Because of the nature of these forests, trees grow very slowly, producing some of the world's strongest and most durable timber species. Our trees are allowed to grow to over 100 years old before being carefully harvested.
Jensen Leisure Furniture is made of 100% heartwood. The heartwood portion of a log is the most dimensionally stable and is only found in slow-growing, century old trees. The exclusive use of heartwood in outdoor furniture is critical for maintaining the long-term strength and integrity of the mortise and tenon joinery throughout the seasonal extremities of freeze and thaw, and extended wet and dry periods.
Another key factor determining how a wood will behave in the out-of-doors, is the degree of care taken when drying the wood. All our wood is carefully kiln dried for periods ranging from four to eight weeks to reduce the moisture content from 50% to 12%. This slow drying and conditioning process also relaxes the natural tensions in the wood to assure years of outdoor use in a wide range of climates.
Jensen Leisure Furniture is designed with heavy dimensioned components for greater strength and stability. Our designers combine innovation, engineering, and craftsmanship to create new and enduring classic designs. As an added security, each piece of Jensen Leisure Furniture has been laboratory-tested to the demanding specifications of contract or commercial applications. Contract specifications far exceed the standards for common residential use.
Jensen furniture is crafted using traditional interlocking mortise and tenon, and dowelled joinery that form rock solid connections. Engineered to extremely tight tolerances through CNC technology, the individual furniture components are permanently attached with snug, moisture-sealed joints. This level of craftsmanship prevents problems such as wobbling, making the furniture safe and stable during a lifetime of use.
The glass hand finish of Jensen furniture is possible due to the dense nature of Ipe wood and our unique cross-grain sanding technique. Sanding cross-grain prevents the lifting of surface micro-fibers and preserves a smooth feel as the wood weathers out-of-doors.
After a completed bench or table has been sanded and had its oil finish applied, it is test-assembled and receives a thorough final inspection to ensure that each item meets our rigorous quality specifications.
About Our Timber - Ipé
The background of Ipé
With over five million acres (twice the size of Yellowstone National Park) of FSC® certified forest under management, Bolivia is the world's leader in sustainable management of natural tropical forest. CIMAL/IMR, the manufacturer of the entire Jensen Leisure Furniture Ipé collection, is directly responsible for the management of approximately half of this area.
The Chiquitania Forest Reserve - Jensen Ipé comes from the 2,120,000 acre CIMAL/IMR Chiquitania forest reserve in Eastern Bolivia. The Chiquitania reserve is a unique formation of natural tropical dry forest. It is located in the southwest corner of the Amazon basin, lying directly west of the Brazilian Pantanal, the world's largest continguous wetland. The Chiquitania Forest provides critical habitat for many rare and endangered animals, including the Harpy Eagle, Jaguar, the Howler Monkey, and numerous species of neotropical migratory birds.
Because of the nature of tropical dry forest, trees here grow very slowly. Consequently, some of the world's strongest and most durable woods come from the Chiquitania Forest. Ipé (also know as Tajibo in Bolivia), is among the most abundant tree species in these forests.
A strikingly beautiful brown color, Jensen Ipé weathers with strength and elegance.
CIMAL/IMR foresters carefully manage the Ipé in their forest reserves according to the demanding criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council™. Tree harvesting is planned to minimize impacts and preserve the forest's natural biological diversity.
Ipé is incredibly strong and dense, with very high wear durability. A handsome chocolate-brown when new, the sun gracefully transforms Ipé to a mature, elegant silver patina.
One fantastic example of the durability of these timbers are the Ipé posts and beams found in the original Jesuit missions in Chiquitania dating from the 18th century. After more than 200 years in service these structural members are still sound.
Other applications where the strength and durability of Ipé has been long recognized are in the deck boards of the historic Solferino Footbridge which crosses the Seine River in central Paris, in the famous boardwalk at Atlantic City, NJ, and in the wood slats in all of New York City park benches.

Humans are considered the hosts for spreading epidemics. The speed at which an epidemic spreads is now better understood thanks to a new model accounting for the provincial nature of human mobility, according to a study published in EPJB. The research was conducted by a team lead by Vitaly Belik from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, who is also affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Germany.
Chinese scientists have manipulated the charge and the degree of freedom, known as spin, of electrons and their associated magnetic properties in a single-layer carbon material called graphene, making it suitable for applications involving superconductivity, a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which electrons travel in a material with no electrical resistance. These findings have recently been published in an article in EPJB by Chunxu Bai from Anyang Normal University and colleagues from the Henan Institute of Science and Technology in Xinxiang.
Vacuum polarisation, the modification of the photon propagator due to virtual electron-positron pairs, is one of the first quantum loop corrections encountered in field theory. In both QED and QCD it causes the running of the appropriate fine structure constant as the physical scale is varied, and also corrects the magnetic moments of electrons and muons from the value 2 predicted by the Dirac equation.
A team of scientists have made it easier to study atomic or subatomic-scale properties of the building blocks of matter (which also include protons, neutrons and electrons) known as fermions by slowing down the movement of a large quantity of gaseous atoms at ultra-low temperature. This is according to a study recently published in EPJ D as part of a cold quantum matter special issue, by researchers from the Paris-based École Normale Supérieure and the Non-Linear Institute at Nice Sophia-Antipolis University in France.
Scientists have shown the energy conditions, under which a weak signal supplied to a physical system emerges as a stronger signal at the output thanks to the presence of random noise (a process known as stochastic resonance), in a paper that has just been published in EPJB.
Gene therapy can only be effective if delivered by a stable complex molecule. Now, scientists have determined the conditions that would stabilise complex molecular structures that are subject to inherent attractions and repulsions triggered by electric charges at the surfaces of the molecules, in a study published in EPJE, by Valentina Mengarelli and her colleagues from the Solid State Physics Laboratory at the Paris-Sud University in Orsay, France, in collaboration with Paris 7 and Evry Universities scientists.
Scientists have shown that it is now possible to simultaneously create highly reproductive three-dimensional silicon oxide nanodots on micrometric scale silicon films in only a few seconds. Xavier Landreau and his colleagues at the University of Limoges, France, demonstrated in their paper published in EPJ D that they were able to create a square array of such nanodots, using regularly spaced nanoindents on the deposition layer, that could ultimately find applications as biosensors for genomics or bio-diagnostics.
The effect of microwave heating and cell phone radiation on sample material is no different than a temperature increase, according to scientists from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Arizona State University, in Tempe, as published in a recent issue of EPJ B.
The publishers of The European Physical Journal C – Particles and Fields are pleased to announce the appointment of Professors Gino Isidori (Frascati) and Sergei Odintsov (Barcelona) as new theory Editors-in-Chief. This follows the splitting of the theory section into Theory I: Phenomenology of the Standard Model and Beyond, now led by Gino Isidori, and Theory II: Gravitation, Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology, General Aspects of Quantum Field Theories and Alternatives, now led by Sergei Odintsov.
EPJ B - Can metals remember their shape at nanoscale, too?
University of Constance physicists Daniel Mutter and Peter Nielaba have visualised changes in shape memory materials down to the nanometric scale in an article published in EPJB.
Thank you for accepting the paper. Thanks also to the Associate Editor and the referee for their speedy and helpful comments during the review process. I will definitely keep EPJC in mind for future contributions.

SOME IMPORTANT GOLD SONGS
http://www.warrenfahey.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/09-Track-09.m4a
Luke Webb & Warren Fahey sing 'Coming Down The Flat'
Thatcher was a deft hand at using well-known tunes for his songs, a trick that certainly would have endeared him to audiences, especially in the goldfields singing rooms. This one is set to the Scottish song 'Comin' Through the Rye'.
The gold diggings also contributed to the Australian language. Although the term 'diggings' had been in use in England since 1769, locally we produced the word 'digger' and the variants – 'diggerdom' (appeared 1854) to describe the tent cities and 'diggeress' for a female partner of a digger (appeared 1855). Other locally created words include 'fossicker' (1853), 'night fossicker' (meaning night thief), 'nugget', 'Jenny Lind' (a mining cradle named after the famous Swedish singer), 'trooper' and 'trap' (for police), 'miner's camp', 'salting' (faking a claim), 'pepperring' (over-promoting a fake claim), 'claim' and 'duffer (unsuccessful rush or mine). The word 'Joe' mentioned in this song alerted diggers that license schecking troopers were in the area – got its name from Joseph 'Joe' Latrobe, colonial official and an ardent champion of law and order in Victoria.
One can imagine Thatcher singing this in a crowded Ballarat or Bendigo tavern as the assembled miners responded by shouting out a jubilant "Joe!" every time it appeared in the song. It wouldn't have done him any favours with the local troopers. The song references various headgear – cabbage tree, caps and wide-awakes, the latter being similar to a Quaker's hat being soft felt with a broad brim and a low crown.
Luke Webb sings 'The Jolly Puddlers'
With the discovery of gold in the colony of Victoria in 1851 mayhem broke out. The goldfields, being within 100 miles of Melbourne, were more accessible than west New South Wales, and thousands immediately bolted to seek their fortune. The colonial government became freaked at the sheer number of people deserting work stations and promptly introduced plans to control the blotters by imposing good digging licences. Charles Thatcher, the self-styled 'colonial minstrel', delighted audiences with his witty and sarcastic topical songs. He used the traditional song 'The Jolly Waggoner' for his parody. Thatcher was not above sending himself up and is referenced in the last verse of this next song, along with Hefferman, who was the owner of the celebrated Shamrock Hotel where Thatcher often performed. Puddling refers to the alluvial mud sifting, horse-driven contraption used to pan for gold. It was effective at washing a large amount of river mud but created extremely messy and muddy water waste with the consistency of cake batter.
Warren Fahey sings 'Where's Your License?"
The collecting of gold licences was a farce. Troopers, often called 'traps' or 'bobbies', would arrive, usually on horseback, and immediately the diggers would 'disappear', running down gullies, jumping down mine holes and generally hot-footing to the nearby bushland. At the same time warning calls were made that echoed across the diggings – "Traps!". As this comic song by Thatcher observes, the diggers were 'not often caught on the hop'. This version comes from the Victorian Songster of 1855. One newspaper reported that whenever Thatcher sang the song he received 'thunderous applause'. The tune is 'The Gay Cavalier'.
Warren Fahey (accompanied on concertina) sings 'The Maryborough Miner'
This song has confused folklorists for decades ever since the British singer A. L. Lloyd recorded it for Wattle Records. We believe it is a Lloyd reworking of a shearing song, The Murrumbidgee Shearer, which appeared in A. B. Paterson's Old Bush Songs, 1905. Whatever the case it is a mighty fine song to sing. Of the Victorian township of Maryborough, Mark Twain said it was a "railway station with a town attached." The people of Maryborough replied: "Even Mark Twain has to pay tribute to our impressive railway station." (Some say that the railway people got their plans mixed and that the station they built at Maryborough had been designed for the centre of Melbourne. The song itself is sung in the first person, a trick to reinforce its emotional charge, and relates the familiar story of licence hunting troopers. The final reference to 'Cockatoo' refers to the time the digger had spent in the Cockatoo Island convict prison, Sydney Harbour.
Luke Webb sings 'Dunn, Gilbert & Ben Hall'
The most active bushrangers associated with gold are the so-called Frank Gardiner/Ben Hall gangs which included John Dunn, John O'Meally, John Vane, John Burke and John Gilbert, and, later, the Kelly gang, There were others who bailed up station owners and travellers but the aforementioned went for the gold escorts and banks. The legendary 'wild colonial boy' supposedly 'stuck up the Beechworth mail coach' however, as far as we can ascertain, he was a character of fiction, possibly inspired by Bold Jack Donohoe, who pre-dated the gold rushes.
This is one of the three songs composed and sung after the death of Ben Hall. The bushranger was surrounded in his camp and shot by a party of police, who riddled his body with bullets, being afraid to approach him. This took place on May 5, 1866, and the date of the song must have been sometime later. Morgan was shot on April 10, 1865, Gilbert on May 13, and Dunn was executed on December 24, of the same year. The song is quite accurate in saying that a thousand pounds reward was offered for the apprehension of any one of the three – Dunn, Gilbert or Ben Hall: For Morgan also £1000 reward was offered). I found this particular version in Australian Town And Country Journal 12 December 1906.
Warren Fahey sings 'The Bail Up At Eugowra Rocks'
There are grounds to indicate this song was fashioned from a verse written by the bushranger Frank Gardiner. They were certainly made more singable by the British folk singer, A. L. Lloyd, who recorded the song as 'The Morning of the Fray' on his album, 'The Great Australian Legend' in1971. This well-crafted song captures the excitement of Gardiner's Gang after they bailed-up the Lachlan Stage Coach at Eugowra's Coonbong Rocks, just out of Forbes, on 15 June 1862. Gardiner's gang got away with £14,000 including the Royal Mail. The bushranger went down in history as the mastermind of the nineteenth century equivalent of the Great Train Robbery, however, in this case, the majority of the gold was never found! Gardiner often referred to himself as 'The Prince of all Toby Men' and was cheeky enough to write to newspapers about his supposed exploits.
Warren Fahey sings 'Frank Gardiner He Is Caught At Last' (accompanied on concertina) with Marcus Holden & Luke Webb.
Frank Gardiner's real name was Francis Christie (1830-1903?), but he has gone down in history and folklore as Frank 'Darkie' Gardiner. For many years the 'Darkie' nickname was assumed to indicate Aboriginal heritage but his swarthy looks came from his Scottish Lowland family. After the brazen 1862 Forbes gold escort robbery a large manhunt was immediately put into effect and in 1864 Gardiner was arrested in Queensland, where he had been living with Katharine 'Kitty' Brown, the 'Mrs Brown' mentioned in the song (she was also Ben Hall's sister-in-law), as 'Mr. and Mrs Frank Christie'. Tried for wounding Sergeant Middleton with intent to kill, he was acquitted by the jury but found guilty in July on two non-capital charges. Chief Justice (Sir) Alfred Stephen, gave him a cumulative sentence of thirty-two years' hard labour. In 1872 William Bede Dalley, who had defended Gardiner, organised petitions to the Governor to use his prerogative of mercy. Sir Hercules Robinson decided that Gardiner had been harshly sentenced and in 1874 released him subject to his exile. This decision provoked a public controversy with multiple petitions, counter-petitions and violent debates in the Legislative Assembly that, eventually, led to the fall of Henry Parkes's government. It also resulted in this anonymous song. Gardiner's career had long been a matter of public entertainment and the court cases were what we would now call a 'public circus'. On 27 July Gardiner embarked for Hong Kong and by February 1875 was in San Francisco where he ran the Twilight Saloon. The press continued to note his activities, including his death in Colorado about 1903, but most reports were unsubstantiated.
There are various, mostly fragmentary versions of this song in Jack Bradshaw's The Only True Account of Frank Gardiner, Ben Hall and Gang, published in Orange, NSW in the 1890s and another collected by John Meredith and Nancy Keesing from Mrs Ina Popplewell, South Sydney, 1954. The lyric I have used was reconstructed by John Meredith from these sources and published in John Manifold's The Penguin Australian Song Book. The tune is also used for the Irish song 'Willie Riley' and for a Scots song usually called 'Tramps and Hawkers'.

Adopted Plans & Policies
Housing Action Plan
General Housing Action Plan Questions
What is a Housing Action Plan (HAP)?
A Housing Action Plan is a strategic plan about increasing housing options and choices in the city. The plan centers on community engagement. Provided input will guide the strategies and policies of the HAP.
Why are we doing a Housing Action Plan (HAP)?
This document will outline how the city can meet its housing needs and will be shaped by data and public input. The City opted to pursue this work and is committed to incorporating community voices into this plan.
About the Housing Action Plan process
When will the HAP be done?
The final HAP needs to be completed and adopted by June 2023. This deadline is based on grant guidelines.
How is the HAP funded?
The HAP is a state grant-funded effort that provides the opportunity to create an actionable policy document. The funding for this effort is provided via Washington State Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 1923.
What are the steps for a HAP?
The HAP includes several key components, as listed below:
Housing Needs Assessment (HNA): A HNA involves compiling various data sources to create a baseline demographic picture of a community. completed in the spring of 2022
Housing Policy Framework Review
Community Engagement: Grant requirements prescribe that residents and community members are given opportunities to provide input for this plan. late spring and summer of 2022
Draft Housing Action Plan (HAP): A draft HAP will be written and presented following the community outreach. This draft will incorporate community feedback, policy and code recommendations.
Review and Adoption: A formal review and public hearings processes will allow the HAP to be adopted by the grant mandated deadline of June 2023.
Who is representing the community for this effort?
Blueline asked the City to identify persons to sit on two different groups. One committee is made up of city stakeholders, like residents with neighborhood ties and community leaders. The second is comprised of housing professionals, persons like developers and real estate experts. Together these two groups provide a community perspective and a technical perspective of housing in the city. Lastly, the survey is available to all residents, and everyone is encouraged to submit responses. The survey results will also inform policy recommendations for the HAP.
About the Housing Needs Assessment
What is a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA)?
A HNA is a document requirement for this grant effort. It serves as a baseline regarding housing and is a data-heavy document prepared before the HAP. The Stanwood HNA was reviewed by City Council in April 2022. A copy of the HNA is found in the Additional Sources section of this webpage.
Why is the data in the HNA from 2019?
The HNA is comprised of numerous data sources including the U.S. Census and the American Community Survey (ACS) which are all based on earlier (2019) findings. More recent, federal data was not available at the time this report was written. Although a Census was conducted in 2020, release of the data products has been delayed. You can read more about that here and here.
Also, bear in mind that the HNA data, in addition to the housing policy framework review and public engagement, are what guides the development of the HAP. The housing policy framework review evaluates current progress toward meeting the city's housing element and the effectiveness of housing programs and policies. The public engagement process allows the community-at-large and key stakeholders to speak to the city's more recent housing trends and needs.
City Planning Requirements
How does the HAP impact future city planning?
The HAP provides structure for updating the housing element of the comprehensive plan. Additionally, the HAP recommends actions and strategies around addressing the housing needs of the city.
What are other cities doing for their HAPs?
Numerous cities received this grant funding, a complete list of these municipalities can be found on the Washington State Department of Commerce Planning for Housing website.
What other planning is the City doing?
The City is also working on the Comprehensive Plan. Cities of certain sizes are required to plan per the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). RCW 36.70A.070(2) requires the following for a housing element (emphasis added for language changed since 1990):
(2) A housing element ensuring the vitality and character of established residential neighborhoods that:
(a) Includes an inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected growth;
(b) Includes a statement of goals, policies, objectives, and mandatory provisions for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing, including single-family residences;
(c) Identifies sufficient land for housing, including, but not limited to, government-assisted housing, housing for low-income families, manufactured housing, multifamily housing, and group homes and foster care facilities; and
(d) Makes adequate provisions for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community. In counties and cities subject to the review and evaluation requirements of RCW 36.70A.215, any revision to the housing element shall include consideration of prior review and evaluation reports and any reasonable measures identified.
The update of the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element will be largely based on the HAP work.
HB 1923 requires the HAP to "review and evaluate the current housing element adopted pursuant to RCW 36.70A.070, including an evaluation of success in attaining planned housing types and units, the achievement of goals and policies, and implementation of the schedule of programs and actions."
What are the City's existing housing policies?
The 2015 Stanwood Comprehensive Plan lays out the City's existing housing goals and policies which can be viewed here.
HAP and Housing Affordability
What is affordable housing?
The term affordable housing refers to households spending less than 30% of the total household income on housing. Housing includes costs like rent, mortgage, insurance, and utilities.
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) defines affordable housing as:
(2) "Affordable housing" means, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, residential housing whose monthly costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed thirty percent of the monthly income of a household:
(a) For rental housing, households whose income is 60% of the median household income adjusted for household size, for the county where the household is located, as reported by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development; or
(b) For owner-occupied housing, households whose income is 80% of the median household income adjusted for household size, for the county where the household is located, as reported by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Will the HAP force Stanwood to meet quotas for housing, Section 8, or rent control, or to build low-income housing?
The grant requirements and the HAP do not establish mandates. Rather the HAP provides policy recommendations. Per the GMA, the City is required to ensure sufficient land to meet population targets established by the state. These requirements are independent of the HAP.
Will the HAP address the cost of housing?
The HAP will provide policy recommendations that may indirectly address housing costs. These recommendations may influence how and what kind of housing is built.

Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003 Video)
One of the characters suspected of being Batwoman is Kathy Duquesne (pronounced Du-Kane). The creative team wanted to use the name Kathy Kane, which was the secret identity of the original comic book Batwoman, but DC comics refused to allow it since Batwoman acts a bit like a villain in the movie.
15 of 15 found this interesting Interesting?
The Batwoman costume is very similar in design to the future Bat suit used on Batman Beyond (1999). The Batwoman costume differs a bit as it is silver, has red gloves, and a cape.
David Ogden Stiers takes on the role of the Penguin, who was played regularly throughout Batman: The Animated Series (1992) series by Paul Williams. Williams was originally considered for this movie, but the producers decided to use Stiers to give the Penguin a more threatening ambiance.
Hector Elizondo takes on the role of Bane, who was played regularly throughout the DC Animated Universe series by Henry Silva.
The character of Batwoman has almost nothing in common with the comics character of the same name. A more accurate depiction of this character would make her animation debut in 'Batman: Bad Blood' (2016).
Bullock jokingly says "what next? A bat-hound?" There actually was a character in the comics called Ace the Bat-Hound.
Kevin Michael Richardson and David Ogden Stiers previously co-starred in Disney's Lilo & Stitch (2002).
In the department store, Bruce Wayne uses an umbrella to get away from Duquesne's men. Ironic, considering umbrellas are the weapon of choice of the film's main villain, the Penguin.
Rupert Thorne is depicted playing with a pack of cards throughout the film. This was a habit of Jack Napier/The Joker in the original Tim Burton 'Batman' movie.
Kathy calls Penguin "Ozzie," short for "Oswald," his real name.
Kathy Duquesne tells Bruce that her mother once told her she could be "another Carrie Mae Weems." Weems is a famous African-American artist who worked in many media, but is best known for her photographs.
Rocky says "I've raided a few tombs in my time," referencing the popular video game franchise 'Tomb Raider.'

The Cybersecurity Education, Research and Outreach Center (CEROC) at Tennessee Tech University will be conducting the Cyber Career Exploration (C2E) and Training for Transitioning Veterans program beginning September 22, 2022. The program seeks to assist members of the military transitioning from active duty to civilian life as well as active guard and reservists with initial training in cybersecurity topics. Ideal candidates would have some background in information technology in a prior military occupational specialty (MOS) code.
This project seeks to expand the number of veterans, transitioning military, guard, and reservists entering the cybersecurity workforce pipeline. Tennessee Tech will create a set of activities to help veterans develop cybersecurity skills and be exposed to professional development, networking, mentoring, apprenticeship and job-placement opportunities. These activities are crucial in helping veterans' transition into cybersecurity careers and increasing the numbers of veterans who pursue this field.
1. Provide a training opportunity for those that have honorably-served our country in the military services that will allow them to transition into the civilian cybersecurity community
2. Provide a venue in which to introduce some concepts covered by the CompTIA Security+ and related certifications
3. Provide workforce development support for the growing employment demands of cybersecurity community in private industry and government areas
4. Create opportunities within the veteran community to explore a career in cybersecurity while also promoting participation by under-represented populations
5. Create a community of learner/mentors who can pay it forward to future transitioning veterans
Those selected to participate will receive the following benefits:
1. Participation in the Cyber Career Exploration Bootcamp, a two day (2 x 4-hour webinars) to be held conducted via Zoom focusing on NIST Cybersecurity Workforce Framework roles in four industry sectors, C2E technology platform training (including remote access to the platform), certification discussions, and other employment topics
2. Participation in a two-month, self-paced, virtual cybersecurity training exercise focusing in four industry areas {financial, healthcare, education, and energy} using the C2E technology platform
3. Payment of a $650 stipend after completion of the training
4. Membership for all program participants in the WiCyS organization allowing access to multiple benefits including the JobBoard++, webinar series, annual virtual career fair, veterans program, and other member forums.
The top ten (10) participants who complete the virtual training program in the allotted two-month time period will receive a fully funded trip to the 2023 Women in Cybersecurity Conference in Denver, CO March 16–18, 2023 and participation in the national job fair at the event.
The exploration bootcamp will be conducted via Zoom on September 22-23, 2022. Those interested in applying to the program should complete the Registration Survey.
After completion of the bootcamp, participants will have access to the C2E technology platform for a period of two months to complete self-paced training exercises in the four sectors mentioned above. Participants will have access to trainers throughout the two-month training cycle via email, Discord and virtual meetings as required. Updates about the program will provided here.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Asia Cup: It's a big win for us, says Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza
Poosalra Chandra Varun
Mirpur: Bangladesh held their nerves in their chase against Pakistan and went on to win by five wickets with five balls remaining to book a place in the Asia Cup T20 final, at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur on Wednesday. The hosts will now play India for the trophy.
Terming it to be a big win for his team, Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza said, "I told the boys to just grab it because we knew there would be plenty of such matches in the future. There was a bit of pressure in the middle, but we coped well. Final will be another pressure game. The trick is to just back each other. It's a pleasure for us to play at home, thanks to the crowd for coming out in supporting us. Hopefully they'll continue to do that."
Meanwhile, Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi said, "I want to congratulate India and Bangladesh for qualifying for the final. We made too many mistakes. It wasn't a good total, but the bowlers did well. We have to do something very special at the World T20 because ours is a tough group. We've given youngsters plenty of opportunities. What else can you do? Sri Lanka is an important game as a win there will be good for our morale."

"Friday", also known as "Friday (Dopamine Re-Edit)", is a song recorded by English DJ and producer Riton and Scottish house music project Nightcrawlers featuring internet personalities Mufasa & Hypeman with uncredited vocals by Samantha Harper. It was released on 15 January 2021 through Ministry of Sound. The song heavily samples the MK remix of Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling On" (1992). It reached number one in Flanders and Poland, and the top 10 in Germany, Italy, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Wallonia, as well as the top 20 in Australia and in Canada.

Background
In early 2020, Mufasa & Hypeman started gaining viral success through dance clips and meme videos. English DJ Riton and producers The Invisible Men became aware of the duo through their viral videos on YouTube. About the collaboration, he revealed, "They are the only people who should be allowed to use social media in 2021! They got a lot of people through 2020, and so it's only right to make a song out of it and do it all again in 2021".

Video
The official video for "Friday" features Mufasa waking the cameraman up, then joining Hypeman and some friends to dance on a boat, in a house, near a car, and in a desert. The video features some of Mufasa's viral dancing, as well as Riton DJing and John Reid of Nightcrawlers appearing to "sing" his sampled vocals from the original "Push the Feeling On" remix.

A family photograph representing three generations of the Cheatham family reproduced on travertine tiles anchors the kitchen stovetop in Corrine Cheatham's home.
The unique piece is just part of the deep family history that runs through the house in the Phoenix neighborhood of Laveen. Antique farm equipment dots the landscape outside while period furniture and family heirlooms are found inside the home her parents built around 1960.
Cheatham spent two years renovating the home beginning in 2008.
The family's ties to the community date back even further than the home.
Laveen's farming past
Farmers and dairymen settled in the area southwest of Phoenix in 1884. The Salt River created a natural barrier, and helped create a self-sufficient, close-knit community.
Laveen became less isolated as bridges closed the gap. The once quiet farming community now thrives on bumper-to-bumper traffic, city parks and an abundance of homes and businesses.
A "Come to Laveen and smell our 'Dairy-Air'" bumper sticker seems nearly impossible to recall with the acres of stucco and tile roofs. But not for the Cheathams.

Roots run deep
Corinne Cheatham's father, Leonard, was born in Duncan, in eastern Arizona, to parents who owned a dairy farm.
The family moved to Laveen in 1919 and Leonard married Rita Medina on March 27, 1940.
The family's dairy business eventually grew into one of the largest registered Holstein herds in the nation. The operation was overseen by Leonard and his three brothers, each assigned specific aspects of the business.
In 1941, the brothers purchased 360 acres of land at Baseline and 51st Avenue. The land was cleared of rattlesnakes and mesquite trees for pastures. During WWII, the dairy's metal roof carried flight symbols for military pilots to measure direction and distance.
The Cheatham Dairy was an anchor in the community for decades, producing hay and cotton to feed its Holsteins, and using Belgian draft horses to pull equipment until tractors and automation took over.
Leonard Cheatham, determined to maintain the historical legacy of the draft horses, made them part of his trust. As long as there was a Cheatham Dairy, there would be Belgian horses.
His sons carried on that tradition. The Belgians retired on the last day of operation in 2003. The high cost to modernize compared with the demand for land brought an end to Cheatham Dairy in Laveen.
The Laveen Ranch Marketplace, HOA neighborhoods and green belts now claim the land where the herd of registered Holsteins and Belgians once thrived.
Extreme makeover with hints of history
Corrine Cheatham began the transformation of her family home five years after the dairy's closure.
The retired Fowler Elementary School District teacher knew the home would require extensive repairs due to a flood and ensuing mold. She also contended with inefficient windows and animals, including squirrels and skunks.
Corrine Cheatham researched materials and design books to create her vision and then contractor Brian Tefertiller finalized plans for the extensive makeover.
A few elements of her parents' footprint remain, such as stacked stone interior walls and fireplaces.

Raising the roof
The home's shingle roof and rafters were removed to push 8-foot ceilings higher and add a concrete tile roof.
Stucco was applied to the home's exterior, encasing the original painted block construction.
A double carport was transformed into a three-car garage.
A rear open-air patio slab was enclosed with an abundance of viewing windows to take in the mountain views. The addition of the Arizona room netted an additional 515 square feet, bringing the home to 3,863 square feet of livable space.
Every interior room was touched in the makeover, allowing for two home offices, two bedroom suites, and 2½ baths.
Other less visible work, such as updated air-conditioning on a zoned system and energy-efficient windows, proved important. A pre-construction utility bill in August hit $777, compared with $583 in the same month last year.
Kitchens are made for bringing families together
The most striking upgrades were made to the kitchen, which is Corrine Cheatham's favorite room in the home, with her master bath running a close second.
The original kitchen featured a U-shaped design in medium wood tones, turquoise wall paint and linoleum floors.
The upgrade includes cream-colored cabinets and a nearly 15-foot island. Eight bar stools provide an abundance of seating, tremendous storage, and counter space making for an ideal gathering place.
A copper farm sink pays homage to copper features in her mother's old kitchen.
The sink is centered below a large window with views of the property, where it's not unusual to see a family peacock strolling or wild bunnies romping.

Bringing the outdoors in
The bright Arizona room, accessible through French doors, runs the length of the living room and kitchen on the south exposure of the home.
It's tiled for easy maintenance and offers space for her young grand-nieces to play, as well as an area with adult seating and space for crafts or to use as an expanded dining room.
The sunroom is separated by a pony wall that runs the length of the living room and is topped with glass viewing panels for unobstructed mountain views.
Two atriums, one just inside the front entrance and a second at the opposite end of the tiled foyer remain intact, another unique feature of this mid-century home not lost in the remodel.
Outside, the contractor suggested removing a pair of giant Italian spruces in an effort to update the entryway's appearance. Leonard and Rita Cheatham had planted the trees shortly after moving into the home more than 50 years ago.
Corrine Cheatham thinks of the trees as a visual representation of her parents: guardian angels protecting the home and family within.
She kept them.

Q: Getting the complex solutions to $y''+k^{2}y=0 $ using Laplace method Asking the hardcore Laplace wizards here.
I know that the general Complex valued solution to $$y''+k^2y=0\ \ is \ \ \ y(x)=C_1e^{ikx}+C_2e^{-ikx}$$
However, upon trying to reach the same conclusion using the Laplace method for differential equations:
$$(s^2+k^2)Y(s)=sy(0)+y'(0) \rightarrow Y(s)=y(0)\frac{s}{s^2+k^2}+y'(0)\frac{1}{k}\frac{k}{s^2+k^2}$$
and therefore:
$$y(x)=y(0)cos(kx)+y'(0)\frac{1}{k}sin(kx) = (\frac{y(0)}{2}+\frac{y'(0)}{2ki})e^{ikx}+(\frac{y(0)}{2}-\frac{y'(0)}{2ki})e^{-ikx}=Ae^{ikx}+A^*e^{-ikx} \in \mathbb{R}$$ which is only REAL VALUED and therefore misses the complex solutions.
I'm assuming I'm discarding some assumption made in the process of solving the differential equation using laplace, but I can't figure out where it all goes wrong. Thanks for any help.

A: This assumes $y(0)$ and $y'(0)$ are real. Regardless of the method, the solution to this equation with real initial conditions will be real for all $x$.
To see this if $$y = C_1 e^{ikx} + C_2 e^{-ikx}$$
then $$\begin{align}y(0)&= C_1 +C_2\\
y'(0)&=ik(C_1-C_2) \end{align}$$
which has the solution
$$y = y(0)\cos(kx) + \frac{y'(0)}{k}\sin(kx)$$
If you let $y(0),y'(0)\in\mathbb{C}$
then $$\frac{y(0)}{2}+\frac{y'(0)}{2ki}\neq \left(\frac{y(0)}{2}-\frac{y'(0)}{2ki}\right)^*.$$
For example, take $$y(0) = i$$
$$y'(0)=0$$
Then $$\frac{y(0)}{2}+\frac{y'(0)}{2ki}= \frac{i}{2}$$
while
$$\left(\frac{y(0)}{2}-\frac{y'(0)}{2ki}\right)^* = -\frac{i}{2}$$

Estée Lauder surpasses second quarter forecast
Published in Cosmetics on 06-02-2015
Cosmetics company Estée Lauder has managed a higher second quarter turnover increase than previously expected. A higher demand for its skin care products helped boost its turnover.
Strong dollar
Estee Lauder still believes it will have a turnover drop for its full fiscal year, which ends on 30 June, compared to the year before. It blames the strong American dollar and slow growth in China and Hong Kong.
The value of the dollar has grown nearly 20 % since mid-2014 and that has had its effect on a lot of companies's foreign sales. For example, Estée Lauder generates 60 % of its net profit outside of the United States.
Previously, Estée Lauder had forecast a 1 % turnover growth for the full fiscal year (at most), but it now believes it will experience a 2 % in turnover. On the other hand, its second quarter turnover grew 1 % to 3.04 billion dollars (2.65 billion euro), while analysts had expected 3.01 billion dollars.

1. Autre Ne Veut
#1: Autre Ne Veut – Anxiety
And here it is. The #1 album of 2013 (IMO, of course).
I am pleased to say that my favorite album this year is from a new "all-in-one" creative musician that goes by the name of Autre Ne Veut. He resides from New York (Go U.S.A.) and literally came out of nowhere this year.
I've shared his album with a few friends this year and never received the same feedback on it that I have generously been giving it over the year. In my defense, however, I always say "keep listening." And in all cases, the recipient comes back to me with altered emotions toward the album. It's inevitable – this music will grow on you.
For those looking for a description – I'd call this guy this year's version of Twin Shadow. It's dancey, electronic, and his falsetto is doused throughout the entire collection of songs. It's sexy, yet sometimes silly. It's just…. perfect.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Play by Play"
You can find the album here.
#2: James Blake – Overgrown
I'm not going to lie. James Blake probably deserves the #1 spot on this countdown. His sophomore album, Overgrown, is perfect. It's filled with more of the same wonderment that brought him a Mercury Prize and critical acclaim a few years back. This time around, however, each song is a little more identifiable and casts a wider net toward the demographic of "people who love smart music."
Admittedly, James Blake's disadvantage on this countdown is that this is a sophomore release and the charm of discovery is missing this time around. That doesn't take away from his genius, but you'll realize tomorrow, that #1 had to go to someone else – and the discovery element is the culprit at play here.
There is no doubt in my mind that James Blake will continue to single-handedly inspire music creators around the globe. It's just a matter of how often he wants to produce solid gold and tour the world to support it.
Please continue to tour James for I have yet to see you live.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Overgrown"
#3: Haim – Days are Gone
Haim speeds through to the coveted #3 spot this year. If you haven't heard of this indie group of female sisters, I don't know where you've been. They even made it enough to perform on Saturday Night Live a few weeks back. Needless to say, they're on the fast path to success.
The debut album, Days are Gone, is about as good as a debut album can get. The music itself offers a lot of passion and raw talent. All the while, it's easy to identify the band's own unique original sound. It's pop electro rock with catchy hooks. They sometimes remind me of a less manufactured version of Tegan and Sara, but I'm sure many fans would disagree with that assessment.
In 2013, they've had success with a numerous number of single releases. One of those songs are referenced below, but all are worth the listen. In fact, of course, the entire album is not one to be neglected.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Don't Save Me."
#4: Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires of the City
Vampire Weekend used to kind of annoy me. I don't know what it was at first. Perhaps they became too "bandwagon" for me early on.
But, over time, they grew on me more and more. Maybe it was when I heard that the frontman used to jam with Dirty Projectors a lot, but I started hearing more from the band with each listen. There is a lot more than just what you hear at the surface with them.
The new album, Modern Vampires of the City, has received critical acclaim this year – and rightfully so. It's filled with short catchy tunes and artistry.
Vampire Weekend is one of those bands that benefit from both sides of the music industry. What that means is that they are still indie favorites while also occasionally having a crossover hit come through mainstream pop radio. "Diane Young" is an example of that happening for them this year.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Diane Young."
#5: Chvrches – Bones of What You Believe
I fell in love with the female-fronted band, Chvrches, this year. If anyone is wondering about it, their name is pronounced as you might expect it to be – "churches." This trend of misspelling is a very smart one deeply rooted in the strategy of search optimization. In other words, if they spelled their name the normal way (churches), when people searched for them using just that word, they would get results of actual churches. Searching for the misspelled version, of course, would yield the results for the band. Genius!
Their debut album Bones of What You Believe is so charming and addicting. Each song possesses the same indie electro pop quality that you might expect from a future underground supergroup. The fact that they aren't on pop radio is astounding but very appealing to the hipster crowd that wants to claim their discovery of artists such as these. They're in a perfect position to take over the indie scene.
I literally have a new favorite song on this album with each listen so I strongly suggest listening to the whole thing in its entirety.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Mother We Share."
#6: Arctic Monkeys – AM
I'll admit that I was never a huge Arctic Monkeys fan when they first came out. I don't know if it was because I wrote them off as being "Too British" or there was a bit of arrogance that threw me off.
Fast forward to this year and I couldn't have done more of a 360. I am now a huge Arctic Monkeys fan. So much so that I made sure to purchase concert tickets right when they went on sale in anticipation of a sellout. I guess I didn't want to feel left out after hearing the incredible new album, AM.
There's no denying the band's talent, and their youth is promising a long and prosperous musical career for them. If they keep up what they're currently doing, we will be seeing them atop the entertainment world globally in a few years – even more so than they already are.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Do I Wanna Know?."
#7: The Civil Wars – The Civil Wars
There has never been more of a dramatic musical breakup than that of The Civil Wars back in August of this year. The news broke with a lot going on for the duo.
The group had one their first Grammy earlier that year, Joy had her first child, and the pair were in the studio recording their second full-length album.
The reason was cited as "internal discord and a misalignment of ambition." Fans were quick to doubt the truth in such a statement. For an acoustic folk duo that sing beautiful and meaningful love songs to each other every night, the "discord" could mean so much more.
Both members are married – to other people. Perhaps they walked the thin line of acting and feeling for a bit too long before it took its toll…?
Regardless, the result of such drama and intensity is the new self-titled album that was released in October, after the breakup announcement. The songs are laced with irony and shear emotion – making the complete listen one of the most intense love albums of all time.
It might not be as solid of an offering as the critically acclaimed debut, but it's about as close as a sophomore album can get.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "The One That Got Away."
#8: Blood Orange – Cupid Deluxe
Formerly performing under the moniker, Lightspeed Champion, Devonte Hynes is back with the second album under the name Blood Orange. Blood Orange isn't the usual acoustic folky music we heard through Lightspeed Champion. Instead, it's an electronic soulful collection of songs that show Devonte's incredible musical versatility.
Many critics are arguing that Cupid Deluxe is one of the best albums of 2013. Obviously I am agreeing to a certain extent by placing the album at a very hard-to-come-by number 8. While it could have easily been pushed ahead a few more slots, the competition this year was just a little too heavy for this album to do much more.
If someone asked me how to classify Blood Orange by genre, I don't think I'd be able to. That's how interesting, unique, and artistic it truly is.
Below is an embed of the video for the song, "Chamakay."
#9: Volcano Choir – Repave
Can Justin Vernon do no wrong? First, he conquered the indie rock world with Bon Iver, and now he's back at it with the group he co-founded in 2005 called Volcano Choir.
The new album, Repave, is more of the Justin Vernon that Bon Iver fans have grown to love. With Justin on vocals throughout, it does almost seem like it's a new Bon Iver album – except it's not. Volcano Choir does bring its own original style to the table, but it's ultimately Justin's touch that allows any listener to quickly relate the two.
I strongly recommend this album – especially for Bon Iver fans that may not know how versatile and busy Justin Vernon is as a songwriter and performer. What will he accomplish next?
Below is an embed of the video for one of the best songs of the year (IMO), "Comrade."
