Evading Trademark Infringement – The Fair Use Route
By Urfee Roomi | September 29, 2017 March 26, 2018
A registered trademark is the exclusive property of its owner, and its use by a third-party without the permission of the owner is an infringement of the rights of the trademark owner. However, this is not a blanket rule. There may be instances in which unauthorized use may not constitute trade mark infringement. In particular, unauthorized use may be permissible if it constitutes fair use of the trade mark in question.
Fair use may be of different kinds. Descriptive fair use means use of a trademark to describe goods or services, as opposed to use as a trademark to indicate the source of the goods or services. For a defence of descriptive fair use to prevail, it must be proven conclusively that there is no intention to derive any association with the registrant or use the term in question as a source identifier. For example, in the case of ICC Development (International) Limited v. Arvee Enterprises, 2003 (26) PTC 245 (Del), the Court ruled that the use of the words 'world cup' and 'world cup cricket' by the defendants constituted descriptive fair use since there was no intention to derive any association with the ICC or use 'world cup' in a manner of trademark significance.
Another kind of fair use is nominative fair use. Generally speaking, to prevail in a defence of nominative fair use, it is necessary to show the following: the product must be one not readily identifiable without the use of the trademark, only so much of the mark may be used as to reasonably identify the product, and the user must do nothing that would suggest sponsorship or endorsement by the trademark holder.
The nominative fair use defence can be utilized in cases where a trademark is used in order to refer a trademark owner or its goods or services for purposes of reporting in a news article, commentary on the television or radio, in cases of a healthy criticism, and parody, as well as in cases of comparative advertising.
Parody and fair criticism, another subset of nominative fair use, as a defence was recently examined by Indian courts in the case of Tata Sons v. Greenpeace, 2011 (45) PTC 275 (Del). In this case, Tata Sons had initiated an action for infringement of their TATA Design mark and the T Circle Design mark against Greenpeace International. Greenpeace had released a game which depicted turtles being chased by the TATA Design mark. The game used the TATA Design mark and the stylized version of its T Circle Design mark. The game was based on the intent to raise awareness on the alleged adverse impact of the Dharma Port Project on Olive Ridley turtles. The Court held that the use of a trademark as the object of critical comment, or even attack, does not necessarily result in infringement. If the third-party's intention is to focus on some activity of the trademark owners, and is denominative and drawing attention of the reader or viewer to the activity, such use can prima facie constitute due cause, which would disentitle the plaintiff to a temporary injunction. The court ruled that Greenpeace's use of the TAT Design and the T Circle Design marks was clearly denominative and considered fair use.
Fair use, especially nominative fair use such as use in parodies and fair criticism, as a defence appears to be an evolving concept in India as compared to the West. Indian courts currently appear to be mindful of the resources invested by the registrants while considering defences of fair use. Nonetheless, brand managers should be conscious that such a defence may be taken by defendants in order to escape the penalty of infringement.

One Rookie Actor's Adorably Panic-Filled Acceptance Speech At The "57th Baeksang Arts Awards" Is Cracking Up The Internet
He made his sunbaes Song Joong Ki and Shin Hye Sun burst into laughter too!
At the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards, rookie actor Hong Kyung won the Best New Actor award for his convincing portrayal of the younger brother with autism in the K-Movie Innocence.
Rookie actor Hong Kyung
During his acceptance speech, Hong Kyung became overwhelmed with so many emotions — one being sheer panic at the unexpected victory. As his voice began trembling and his speech getting entirely flustered…
… his co-star, and female lead of Innocence, actress Shin Hye Sun couldn't help but giggle.
The… The lighting director… Oh gosh, what was his name again…? I, uh, I seriously can't think of it right now, I'm so sorry. I don't remember. I will call you all individually. I'm sorry…!
— Hong Kyung
Even though he tried to pull himself together, Hong Kyung simply couldn't deal with all his feelings. At one point, as his voice completely cracked on the brink of bursting into tears, he apologized for being an emotional mess…
… making veteran actress Bae Jong Ok smile too!
Oh, nooo… I really shouldn't cry because this is being recorded and there will be videos…!
Then, Hong Kyung ended up addressing his stylist as "The same person who does Song Joong Ki sunbae-nim's hair." The comment inevitably made the audience crack up, including actor Yoo Ah In…
…and even Song Joong Ki himself.
Oh no…! What— I can't remember the styling team leader's name now… Ugh…! I don't remember, I'm sorry. But it's the same person who does Song Joong Ki sunbae-nim's hair. I'm so sorry I don't remember…!
Wrapping up, Hong Kyung made sure to thank his supportive family, which included his parents, his sibling, his grandmother, and — last but not least — his three dogs!
I have three dogs, by the way. Woni, Coco, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Thank you guys.
When JTBC released the full clip of Hong Kyung's speech, Koreans became obsessed with how absolutely adorable the rookie actor is.
Hong Kyung debuted in 2017, with a KBS K-Drama. The movie Innocence marks the beginning of his career for the big screen though. And now, he has many new fans who look forward to seeing more of his not-so-panic-filled acting soon!
Watch his full speech here:
Hong Kyung is not the only rookie actor who couldn't hide the excitement on the night of the ceremony. Check out another rising-star actor Lee Do Hyun get hopelessly lost on his way up to the stage!

It's never too late (really).
If you've been hibernating all winter (and who could blame you?), the thought of getting back into a regular fitness routine can seem a bit daunting. And while there's no way around it—when you're not in the habit of working out, you lose progress—don't be deterred from sweating it out. Challenges can be a good thing!
There are some things to think about when you're easing back into a workout routine whether you've been taking a break for the past couple of weeks, months, or even years. Miami-based Barry's Bootcamp trainer Kellie Sikorskiand physical therapist Karena Wu, DPT, MS, CSCS, know what's up when it comes to getting adjusted and avoiding injury. Here are 11 things to keep in mind as you kick-start that fitness grind.
1. Don't overdo it right away.
"Doing too much too soon can overwhelm you mentally," says Sikorski. "And a rigorous routine may eventually feel like too much to deal with, which in return make you feel defeated." Understand that you're probably not going to be as fit as you were, and that's OK. You can start with just 10 minutes a day, the goal is just to get moving more. "People have a tendency to overdo it initially, and they end up [with injuries] because the body is not prepared for the extra activity," says Wu. "Low-intensity workouts are a good way to reintroduce the body to activity, frequency, and duration." After a week or two, you can bump up the intensity, she says, as long as you're not losing form.
2. And begin with what works for you.
Do you only feel comfortable committing to one day a week initially? Great! Mark it on your calendar and stick with it. Don't feel like you have to immediately start logging five to six gym workouts per week. "You can't get to three to four days a week without mastering day one, so just start," says Sikorski. As you get comfortable, try to work your way up to four days a week. "The body responds to consistency over time, so your results will come much faster if you can keep a regular pattern and frequency," says Sikorski.
3. Make sure your workouts include three key components.
When you're getting back into fitness, your exercise plan should include components of cardiovascular endurance, resistance training, and flexibility, says Sikorski. "Combined, all three components will give you the most longevity with your goals," she says. And always remember to go at your own pace and listen to your body. Here's what a perfect week of working out looks like.
4. Don't forget to take those rest days!
Another reason not to jump into a six-days-a-week workout routine: Recovery is part of being active. "When you take a day off, your body isn't. It's actually working very hard to repair and replenish itself after all the work you put it through," says Sikorski. "Rest days are key to long-term wellness. This is a lifestyle you're creating now, so be realistic about your frequency," she adds.
5. Start your workout with a good warm-up and end with a good cool-down.
A good warm-up preps your body for the increase in activity and a cool-down allows your heart rate to return to a normal resting rate, says Wu. Don't cut corners here: "Muscles that have not been accustomed to strenuous activity for sometime will experience some form of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), which basically means you are going to be tight and achy for 24-72 hours after your workout," says Sikorski. (You may also experience this is you work out regularly but up your intensity.) "A proper cool-down session can reduce some of this soreness."
6. And spend a few minutes stretching.
Speaking of tightness, stretching is especially important when you're getting back into a fitness routine. A good warm-up includes dynamic stretches. And when you are done working out, finish with some more stretches—like these.
7. Take it slow and focus on your form.
Quality trumps quantity, especially when you're just getting back into fitness. "Slow down," stresses Sikorski. "Be deliberate and conscious of your movements. Take the time to focus on your form, on your breathing, on your control." This is extra important because proper technique and form are crucial for avoiding injury, adds Wu.
8. And don't forget to listen to your body.
Chances are, your body is going to let you know that it's working hard, but learn the difference between hurts-so-good and hurts-not-so-good. "If something feels weird or gives you pain, stop doing whatever that is," says Sikorski. "There's actually a not-so-fine line between muscle discomfort from a good workout, and pain lets you know something's not right."
9. Don't skimp on sleep.
"Working out is 'work'—it takes more time and energy, so you might feel fatigued initially because you are burning more calories and the body is trying to adapt to the increased stresses in the tissues," says Wu. "If I'm so exhausted that I'm walking around like a zombie, I might opt for some more sleep on a particular day," she adds. So it's OK to tuck in a little early and hit snooze on some days...your body will thank you.
10. Find a friend who keeps you motivated.
Workout buddies unite! "Find a friend who is already working out and has a routine. That person can be a key motivator," says Sikorski. If you'd rather share the starting line, find a friend who is also looking to get back into a regular routine. "Together, you can keep each other motivated and accountable," adds Sikorski.
11. And, finally, set goals to keep you focused.
Sikorski recommends setting a S.M.A.R.T. goal–specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive. "What is your goal...to run a 5K? To feel stronger?" asks Sikorski. Start there, then create a plan.
Remember, it's OK to feel overwhelmed at times. Don't get discouraged, you got this!


I know this is trivial but I'm going to post it anyway. I got tired of all the equipment manuals all over the place or in a ragged and torn envelope so bought a small (about 7 x 9) 3-ring binder and got everything into it save the Escape Owner's Manual and the refer manuals. I put the two items I couldn't fold in half and/or punch out into sheet protectors.
We do the same, we keep the registration in there too. Which by the way a RI State Park actually required before they'd give me a site.
Great idea. I've been living with the tired old envelope. And by the way, nothing is trivial!
Our method has been to hunt up the manuals as PDFs online and save them in iBooks. That way, we can read them from either iPad or iPhone, anytime, without taking up extra space!
I download everything available, but also keep the printed copies. The binder is a good idea, and I found that a desirable variation for carrying in the trailer is a binder which zips up around the sides, so nothing falls out.
I too am in the process of downloading what I can, and am going to scan the rest. I will then put them on a tablet, as well as float a copy in the cloud for reference. No need to haul more stuff around.
The print copies will be filed at home.
Karen, I like your idea, that's just what Alf did and handed us the book today when he sold us his trailer. I don't think it will be too much to carry around.
I learned long ago, from a meticulous buddy of mine, to keep all instruction manuals and receipts.
While looking through the manual for my large Weber BBQ to see how to replace the burners, I discovered that they were covered by a 10 year warranty that would expire in nine months.
Had the receipt. Made the calls, photographed the burners, and a few weeks later a courier dropped off a complete new set of burners.
I have all the manuals for my Escape, in a binder, along with receipts. I also keep a log with entries like best camp site in a camp ground, weather endured, when I replaced the battery, charge levels, when I checked tire pressure, etc. etc.
Looking over my log, I see that I've not been camping at all this year.
Has anyone managed to download the 2014 Escape Manual from the files section of this web site? All I get is an empty file.

Q: TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined while rendering a list of user comments I am trying to fetch posts from a fake api (json placeholder) , but I am getting a TypeError which says Cannot read property 'map' of undefined
Here is the class component
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'

import fetchPosts from '../actions/postListAction'

 class PostList extends Component {

componentDidMount() {
    this.props.fetchPosts();
}

  renderList() {
      return this.props.posts.map(post => {
          return (

{post.title}

{post.body}

          );
      });
  }

  render() {
    return (

Posts

        {this.renderList()}

    )
  }
}

const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
    return { post: state.posts }
}

export default connect(mapStateToProps, { fetchPosts })(PostList)

Here is the action creator
import jsonPlaceholder from '../apis/jsonPlaceholder'

const fetchPosts = () => async dispatch => {
        const response = await jsonPlaceholder.get('/posts');
    dispatch({ type: 'FETCH_POSTS', payload: response })
}

export default fetchPosts

Here is the reducer
export default (state = [], action) => {
    switch (action.type) {
        case 'FETCH_POSTS'
        return action.payload;
        default:
        return state;
    }
}

api from jsonplaceholder using axios
import axios from 'axios';

export default axios.create ({
    baseURL: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/'
})

any help would be appreciated!

A: you have a typo.
in mapStateToProps your matching (POST) to state.posts
but in your map method you're sayin this.props.(POSTS)
these should be the same. ether post or posts
you have to check your rootReducer and pass the right key too your component

Uncle Willy's. I can't believe it's still around. I remember going when I was really, really young – and often – with my parents. I remember their soft serve machine was the highlight of my meal every single time. Uncle Willy's is still around after all these years and it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere, anytime soon.
While the decor and inside is definitely from a different time era, you'll find their buffet items haven't changed much over the years. They focus on homestyle meal items, so you'll find spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, fish, stews, soups and salads. Their claim to fame has got to be their fried chicken, I think that's what everyone goes for these days. But if you were wondering, they do have a carving station – roast and ham.
While the variety of food isn't bad, you don't come here for a fancy meal. You're getting pretty standard food, which is fine if you go into it with that kind of mentality. I wouldn't say the quality is like River Rock or a Las Vegas buffet, but more of your local, hometown buffets you'd find roadtripping down in the US.
During our dinner visit, they had deep fried crab, which was an interesting addition. It was overcooked and dry however.
SOFT SERVE, WE MEET AGAIN.
Dinner for Adults from Monday to Thursday is $16.99, $17.99 Friday to Sunday. Seniors are $15.99/$16.99 (F-S) and kids are their age times $1.50. Lunch buffet is much cheaper – Adults from Mon to Thurs is $12.99, Seniors are $11.99.

Eruption of underwater volcano near Mayotte continues, may badly affect Lake Dziani on Petite Terre
Posted by Julie Celestial on November 21, 2019 at 21:12 UTC (1 month ago)
Categories: Featured articles, Seismic activity, Volcanoes
Eruption at a developing submarine volcano east of Mayotte continues and may contaminate Petite Terre's Lake Dziani. The underwater volcano is the reason behind the seismo-volcanic crisis affecting the small island in the Indian Ocean since May 2018. The crisis started with earthquake swarm that continued for months causing anxiety among locals until May 2019 when a new developing volcano was confirmed.
An underwater eruption is officially underway as of July 31, 50 - 60 km (31 - 37 miles) east of Mayotte.
The seismic activity is centered at 5 to 15 km (3 to 9 miles) from Petite Terre at depths of 25 to 47 km (16 to 29 miles). It remains stationary with a high number of quakes.
544 were recorded so far from October 16, 2019, to October 31. The average seismic activity is 38 per day, with the recording of a clear recrudescence of seismic energy released.
#Mayotte : bulletin #Revosima n°7 sur l'activité sismo-volcanique.
Bilan du 16 au 31 octobre :
202 séismes localisés
une moyenne de 13 #séismes par jour
dont 1 par jour de magnitude supérieure ou égale à 3

Since the start of the crisis, GPS stations recorded a displacement towards the east part of the island of 190 to 210 mm (7 to 8 inches), and subsidence of 80 to 160 mm (3 to 6 inches), more to the east than to the west.

The volcano is located 50 km (31 miles) east of the Petite-Terre island at a depth of 3 500 m (11 482 feet), BGRM, the France-based geological agency serving the territory said.
The current size of the volcano is estimated at 800 m (2 624 feet), with a base of 4 to 5 km (2.5 - 3.1 miles) in diameter.
The gas emanations reported along the Petite-Terre coastline are a common sign encountered in this type of volcanic activity and are the subject of specific studies.
Image credit: MAYOBS
The new volcano might affect the maar Lake Dziani on Petite Terre as the impact due to subsidence may cause cracks and infiltration of waters of the lagoon, altering its unique composition. This might lead to the lake eventually vanishing.
The lake is known for its green, almost fluorescent waters because of Spirulina-- a biomass of cyanobacteria.
The crisis began with a rare earthquake swarm on May 10, 2018. The tremors were initially believed to be the result of a seismic hot spot as well as the island's position along the East African Rift.
The seismic activity remained abnormal and persisted for months, leaving locals in fear. There were no serious injuries or fatalities, but in June 2018, locals reported minor damage to buildings, including a school in Dembeni.
In January 2019, the Mayotte seismo-volcanic crisis intensified as a large number of dead fish emerged at various sites off of the barrier reef, and the earthquake swarm was believed to be one of the possible causes.
Authorities then launched several major observation missions by late February 2019, with results expected within 6 months. The missions are coordinated by CNRS with the support of BRGM, IPGP, IGN, Ifremer and the Environment Ministry of France.
Attempts to understand the reason behind the intense volcano-seismic crisis affecting Mayotte finally resulted in a solid answer around May 2019, when the submarine volcano was discovered.

Geological background
Mayotte Island in the Mozambique Channel between the northern tip of Madagascar and the eastern coast of Africa consists of two volcanoes with diverse geochemistry that were active from the Pliocene to the Holocene. Lavas on the NE were active from about 4.7 to 1.4 million years and on the south from about 7.7 to 2.7 million years.
Mafic activity resumed on the north from about 2.9 to 1.2 million years and on the south from about 2 to 1.5 million years. Morphologically youthful-looking maars are present on Mayotte Island, and Zinke et al. (2003) found several pumice layers of Holocene age in gravity cores on the barrier reef-lagoon complex at Mayotte. (GVP)

Based on a screenplay directly written for the screen by Lee Hall, BILLY ELLIOT is a British production directed by Stephen Daldry in 2000. The picture earned three nominations (actress, director and screeplay) for the 2001 Academy awards.
Set in a small industrial town of the northern part of England in 1984, BILLY ELLIOT describes the family problems encountered by an eleven years old boy who's got a passion for dancing. Strongly missing his late mother, Billy is not understood by his father and his brother who would like him to practice boxing. While Billy is training a lot under Julie Walter's direction, a strike at the only mine in town destabilizes the Elliot's poor family that is treating Billy as a scapegoat. A few months later, Billy's got a unique opportunity to pass a dance exam at Newcastle but his brother is arrested by the police on the same day.
"Billy Elliot" is set in the North East of England (Where i live!!!) in the 1980's a time of political unrest and severe unemployment for many parts of Britain- Newcastles mining industry being struck really bad. Billy (Jamie Bell) is eleven and his family are suffering from the redundancy. His dad can JUST afford to still allow him money for boxing club. Billy is useless at boxing and only keeps it up to please his father. One day he stumbles upon the ballet class and the openess of it's tutor(Julie Walters)He shows a raw talent which only improves the more and more he practices. (Thoses scenes of him dancing in the toilet cubicles!!) Mrs Wilkonson (Walters) encourages him to go and autition for the Royal Ballet school in London but due to self-doubt in himself and no encouragement from family (He is too afraid to tell his father and his mother has passed on leaving him only a letter he has memorised and recalls to walters in a touching scene)he passes up the opportunity. There is a big blow-up between father and son when Mrs Wilkonson pushes him to go and Billy succumbs to her determination and his own dreams but though there are some heartbreaking scenes where you truly feel sorry for him and his life (Yes, it SOMETIMES is like that) you feel happy about the resolution and being a performing arts student (well any human can't help but do this i gasped at the cinema by the almighty ending. I had a tear in my eeye and thought the last scene was tremendous and really sealed the film to perfection for me. Jamie Bell (how cute?) Was an ideal casting for Billy (I know they searched and searched for a 'special boy')and is an excellent dancer. Stephen Daldry (Director) shows great ability and truth in what, i believe, was his first FILM direction. (Has worked in theatre before) I think this is one of the best British films in ages, and am proud it was based in my hometown.
Set during the minor strikes of 1984, Billy Elliot follows the story of a talented young boy (Jamie Bell) who gains an interest in ballet while attending boxing classes. Secretly he attends ballet instead, and forms a strong bond with his teacher(played by Julie Walters).
When his father learns of his new found interest, it threatens to break up the family.

#OTD in 2013 – Sinn Féin proposed legislation which would make the Easter Rising anniversary a new national bank holiday.

Sinn Féin social protection spokesman Aengus Ó Snodaigh introduced legislation for the creation of a national holiday to be called Lá na Poblachta, which would fall annually on 24th April – the day on which the Irish Republic was declared' – noting that Ireland has nine public holidays, fewer than the EU average of eleven.
Ó Snodaigh told the Dáil that 'many nations have a day or event in their history which, for the present day citizens, captures the spirit of the nation. In the many episodes of bravery, foresight and selflessness in Irish history, the 1916 Rising stands out, and is therefore the appropriate day to celebrate and commemorate as Ireland's national day.'
The Government shot down the proposal, 'despite the fact that when it was raised by Ó Snodaigh, in February 2013, at the all-part decade of commemorations committee meetings, it received the backing of the Government's commemorations advisers.
Ó Snodaigh accused the Government of 'turning its back on an opportunity' and said it was not just about an additional holiday. 'It aims to ensure that the vision of the Proclamation is considered and lived up to as much as possible or is, at the very least, the ideal to which we aspire.'
Sinn Féin's Michael Colreavy said '2016 is being regarded as a once in a lifetime opportunity. Remembering 1916, its heroes and their ideas should not be a once in a lifetime matter. Every year, we should reflect on those who founded our nation and sought to bring about a free, independent Ireland.'

Amazon Kindle: A history of the world's best e-reader
Joe Roberts, April 13, 2016 3:30 pm BST
Since Amazon's Kindle e-reader was first introduced in 2007, the device has undergone a series of design changes. We take a look back at the various generations Amazon's most iconic piece of hardware.
Now that Amazon has officially unveiled its new Kindle Oasis, the world's most popular e-reader has transitioned into its eight generation.
With an ultra-lightweight design, plus an included charging cover that delivers months of battery life, the Kindle Oasis looks to be the most advanced e-reader Amazon has yet released.
Video: Check out our hands-on impressions of the Kindle Oasis
But the Kindle started life as a very different device. The original 2007 version, with its slanted keyboard and 6-inch screen, looks completely unrelated to the sleek Oasis model. As with all technology, it's taken some years to reach this point, with numerous design innovations and refinements being introduced over successive years.
The launch of the Kindle Oasis therefore gives us the opportunity to revisit the various stages of the Kindle's evolution. Let's take a look at what came before.
Buy Now: Kindle Oasis at Amazon from £269.99
With 250MB internal storage and a 6-inch display capable of producing a staggering four shades of grey, the original Kindle seems more than a little outdated by today's standards. At the time however, this was the must-have device for readers.
Related: Best ebook readers
Amazon's first e-reader, only released in the US, sold out in five and a half hours and remained unavailable for five months. It seems people at the time couldn't wait to pay the $400 necessary to get their hands on this bulky contraption with its strange slanted keyboard and angled edges.
Still, this was the only Kindle to ever feature expandable storage and allowed users free access to the innovative Whispernet system for downloading books over 3G.
Kindle 2 (2009)
After the original Kindle's runaway success, Jeff Bezos and co. decided the world was ready for an updated version in 2009.
Although the second-generation device looked very similar to the original, retaining the keyboard and large, though slightly thinner, case, there were a number of big improvements that came with it. Firstly the internal storage jumped from 250MB to 2GB, meaning the Kindle 2 could hold around 1,500 non-illustrated books as opposed to the original's meagre 200.
Related: Kindle Oasis vs Paperwhite
Secondly, Amazon added a text-to-speech feature that meant the Kindle 2 could read your books aloud to you, in case you fancied bringing the magic of Proust to life with a creepy robotic voice.
Originally selling for $360, the second-gen Kindle was another big success for Amazon, which released an international version of the device in October 2009.
Kindle DX & Kindle DX Graphite (2009 & 2010)
Not content with releasing one new version of its e-reader in 2009, Amazon also introduced the world to the Kindle DX.
With 4GB internal storage and a 9.7-inch screen, the DX included support for PDF files, plus an accelerometer, allowing readers to quickly switch between portrait and landscape views. The larger screen was designed to encourage newspapers and similar publications to make the transition to e-readers.
Related: Best tablet 2016
Starting at $490 in the US, this was the most expensive Kindle yet. An international version, which included support for international 3G connectivity, soon followed the original's release, with a second-generation DX arriving in July 2010.
The second DX was called the Kindle DX Graphite, in reference to the new darker colour, and went on sale for a slightly more reasonable $379. With a much-improved e-ink display, featuring a 50% better contrast ratio when compared to the original DX, the DX Graphite marked a significant improvement over its predecessors.

However, the DX Graphite failed to sell as well as Amazon had hoped, and was discontinued in early 2012. Although the Graphite would reappear in 2013 at the reduced price of $199, it would be banished for good in May 2014.
Otherwise known as the Kindle Keyboard, which seems strange considering every Kindle up until this point featured a keyboard, the Kindle 3 pared things down after the comparatively huge Kindle DX. This slimmed-down iteration included a 6-inch screen and the same 4GB internal storage as its predecessor.
Related: Best Amazon Prime Instant Video movies
Most significantly however, the Kindle (2010) was the first Amazon e-reader to feature a Wi-Fi option and originally hit the market in at the mercifully low price of $140. Those who wanted Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity could shell out for the $189 version.
That low price-point helped the Kindle 3 become the fastest-selling Kindle ever, prompting Amazon to release a 'Kindle with Special Offers' device. This shamelessly commercialised version was exactly the same as the Kindle 3 but featured ads and sold for the lower price of $114.
Announced in September 2011, the fourth generation Kindle (2011) kept the same 6-inch E-ink display as the Kindle 3 but came in a slightly lighter and smaller case.
Related: Best Amazon Prime Instant Video TV shows
Notably absent from the Kindle 4 however, was the traditional Kindle keyboard. In its place were four physical buttons and a cursor pad, with an on-screen keyboard replacing the physical one. Also missing from the Kindle 4 was audio functionality, with the 3.5mm audio jack removed in favour of a more portable form-factor.
All of this meant Amazon could launch the Kindle 4 at the lowest price for one of its e-readers yet. The ad-supported version originally hit the market at $79, while the regular model started at $109.
Kindle Touch (2011)
Also released in September 2011, the Kindle Touch was the first ever touch-screen Kindle. Physical page-turn buttons were eschewed in favour of the touch functionality, likely due to the rising popularity of tablets (the iPad debuted a year before the Kindle Touch). Other than the touch features, the screen was the same 6-inch E-ink display that could be found on the Kindle 4
Unlike the Kindle 4 however, this touch-screen version did feature audio functionlity, with two stereo speakers on its sides. Other extra features included X-Ray – software that allows you to view pre-loaded reference information about a characters in a book without having to connect to the internet.
The Wi-Fi version started at $99 for the ad-supported model, while the regular Wi-Fi version started at $139. Fans of 3G connectibity could pay $149 or $189 for the ad-supported and non-ad-supported versions respectively.
2012 saw the release of the Kindle 5, which swapped the Kindle 4's silver-grey finish for a black bezel. This affordable device featured better contrast than its predecessor, with Amazon claiming the Kindle (2012) could also load pages 15% faster.
At 170g, it was also the lightest Kindle yet. And with a starting price of $69 for the ad-supported version, it was also the cheapest. Of course, Amazon had to make cuts somewhere in order to get the price down, and as such the Kindle 5 saw internal storage reduced to 2GB.
2012 proved to be a big year for the Kindle. Not only did the most affordable Amazon e-reader yet hit the market, Amazon also managed to fix a problem that had plagued Kindle owners for years: reading in the dark. Rival devices such as the Nook and Kobo Glo already offered backlights, and now it was time for Amazon to catch up.
With the Kindle Paperwhite, no longer were readers reliant on other lights or lamps in order to use their e-readers. Not only did the integrated LED lights make the Paperwhite the first Kindle you could read in the dark, the 6-inch screen also featured an enhanced pixel density, making for a crisper image.
Initially, only US readers were gifted with the Paperwhite's revolutionary functionality, with international customers having to wait until early 2013 to get their hands on Amazon's premium e-reader.
A year after the first Paperwhite came the 'all new Paperwhite', known colloquially as the Paperwhite 2.
The first e-reader to use E-ink Carta display technology, pages would load on the Paperwhite (2013) incredibly quickly. Amazon also packed in improved LED illumination, and a 1GHz processor which made the second-gen Paperwhite 25% faster than the original.
In terms of design, the Paperwhite 2 looked much like the first Paperwhite, and featured the same 6-inch screen with 221ppi as the first-gen device, plus the same 28 hour battery life.
By 2014, Amazon had all but won the e-reader battle. With rivals dispatched, the company unveiled a new budget Kindle (2014), known as the Kindle 7.
Physical buttons were completely absent from the Kindle 7, which was the first basic Kindle to rely on touch-screen navigation. It also included a 1GHz processor and 4GB internal storage. And at $80 for the ad-riddled version, those impressive specs came at a surprisingly affordable price.
The catch? No integrated light. Investing in the Kindle 7 meant becoming beholden to artificial light sources once again. Still, if you could deal with the lack of LED lighting, the 2014 basic-level Kindle offered some decent specs at a price most could afford.
Kindle Voyage (2014)
Amazon may have reached peak Kindle with this 2014 entry. The lightest, smallest, and most advanced e-reader yet to arrive, the Kindle Voyage not only includes display illumination, but also adjusts the backlight based upon ambient lighting conditions.
With a 300ppi E-ink Carta HD display, this high-end offering featured the best display available on an e-reader. That is, until the arrival of the Oasis. It also features haptic feedback via the new PagePress controls, which mimic the physical controls of older Kindles but use pressure-sensitive 'haptics' instead.
With all these top-end features, you'd have expected the Kindle Voyage to be the most expensive entry in the Kindle range yet. But at $199 for the ad-supported version, e-reading fans were given the opportunity to pick up a great product at a very reasonable price, even if it was too high for those who thought it was only marginally better than the $119 Paperwhite 3.
Sitting between the Kindle 7 and Kindle Voyage, the Kindle Paperwhite 2015 is Amazon's current mid-range e-reader. Released in June 2015, the Paperwhite 3 has the same 6-inch, 300ppi E-ink Carta HD display as the Voyage, but lacks the ambient lighting features. It's also got the same 4GB internal storage as its two counterparts.
One standout feature is the battery life. Amazon says the latest Paperwhite can last 6 weeks on a single charge if used for 30 minutes per day. Starting at $119 for the ad-supported version, it's also the best value Kindle available.
While the 2015 Paperwhite brought very little in terms of design changes, its dramatically improved screen combined with a fairly low price point made it an almost irresistible option.
The most dramatic Kindle design overhaul of recent years comes with the Kindle Oasis. Amazon's latest e-reader entry. The Oasis was debuted on April 13, 2016 and features an incredibly thin display and an ergonomic grip.
Amazon says the Oasis' reimagined shape is designed for extended reading sessions. The asymmetrical shape shifts the centre of gravity to your palm, making the device rest in your hand like the spine of a book. Aside from the touch display, there's also physical buttons which allow you turn the page.
https://twitter.com/statuses/720272851215908866
Plus, Amazon has catered for lefties with a built-in accelerometer which detects whether you're reading with your left or right hand, and automatically rotates the page and page turn buttons to match.
Weighing just 131g, thanks to the new featherweight polymer frame, and measuring just 3.4 mm at its thinnest point, the Oasis is 30% thinner on average and over 20% lighter than any other Kindle. All good stuff considering Amazon's somewhat confusing aim to make the Kindle 'disappear so you can lose yourself in an author's story'.
As part of that mission, Amazon packed the Oasis with a 300ppi Paperwhite display featuring 60% more LEDs. All of which makes this the brightest Kindle display ever. What's more, the Oasis has the best battery life of any Kindle, thanks to a new dual-battery system. The device's case has its own battery, meaning that once you connect the cover, the battery in the cover begins recharging the Oasis automatically, making for months of battery life.
The Oasis is available for pre-order now and starts at £269.99.

← Capitol Hill Corner – The Week Ahead…
The Week Ahead…It's Liquor License Renewal Time – Time to Raise Bad Neighbor Issues →
New Burger Joint Coming to Hine Project – Plus Some Things You Probably Missed Last Week
The developers have finally found a restaurant for the prime retail space at the corner of 7th and C Street, across from Eastern Market. BRGZ – burgers – will occupy the space in the mixed use retail/affordable residential North Building of the Hine Project.
A tweet from @eat_dc Thursday evening announced a "new burger joint called BRGZ is opening across from @EasternMarketDC at 250 7th St SE with seating for 25 inside and 60 outside."
There's not a lot of info about the new company – their FB page says they debuted as a pop-up in NYC at Oyster Bar: Pier A Harbor House (22 Battery Place) in February of 2018. They then touted, "The brgz team is launching their first pop up in NYC to offer the public a chance to try the first "truly custom burger". More on this to come.
Bad Restaurant Neighbors: In other news, gleaned from somewhat barren fields this past week, some bad neighbors have shown up on the list of restaurants seeking ANC6B support for liquor license renewals. District Soul Food is off to a rocky start on Barracks Row, with complaints about trash, noise, questionable disposal of grease, rowdy departing customers, and a complaint from next door Trattoria Alberto that cigar smoke is driving their customers away. The Departments of Regulatory and Consumer Affairs are on the case, and one ANC6B Commissioner intends to protest the renewal unless issues are resolved before the next ANC meeting on April 9. Others in for a grilling on various issues by ANC commissioners: Bullfrog Bagels, Spike Mendelsohn's Good Food, Little Pearl, Atish on the Hill, Buechert's Saloon, and Sanphan Thai Cuisine. Those cases and others will be heard next Thursday in Hill Center by the ANC6B ABC Committee, chaired by Commissioner Chander Jayaraman.
Metro Plaza Redesign: It turns out the Eastern Market Metro Plaza Community Meeting scheduled for April 3 at 7:00pm in Eastern Market's North Hall is still on, despite the setback DGS designers received from the DC Fine Arts Commission who sent the design plan back to the drawing board. It's not clear what the agenda will be, – it was supposed to be to presentation of the final design for the Metro "Park" to the community.
Barracks Row Safety Issues: There was news about the proposed MPD substation for the 400 block of Barracks Row to address a host of safety issues on that block; Co-chair of the Working Group on Barrack's Row, ANC Commissioner Brian Ready, found MPD First District Commander Kane "100%" opposed to the idea which had been greeted with enthusiasm at the first meeting of the Working Group on March 20. The Working Group will meet again on April 16th. Commander Kane has been invited to discuss safety issues on the 400 block. In the meantime, Barracks Row Main Street has a petition in support of the substation on their website. After being live for 5 days, by last Tuesday, the petition had been signed by 300 people. (See here: https://www.barracksrow.org/)
Eastern Market/Flea Market: Over at Eastern Market, Manager Barry Margeson is rolling out a new voucher parking system to address concerns of South Hall merchants and outside vendors who complain the lack of parking on weekends is responsible for declining sales. The plan will provide a $4 discount parking voucher in the Hine Project while visiting Eastern Market. (Ask South Hall merchants for details) Merchants say that will help, but what they really want a similar arrangement for surface parking in the Colonial Parking Lot directly across 7th Street from the back of the market. Margeson said that discussions with Colonial Parking are on-going.
In other news, Eastern Market and DGS will begin management of the outdoor vending spaces on the 300 block of 7th street on April 6 on Saturday – the Sunday flea market vending on the block will still be under the management of Michael Berman's Diverse Markets. Shoppers will notice a change in the product line on Saturday, since the same criteria for vending on the sidewalk, north plaza, and 200 block of 7th Street outside of Eastern Market will now apply to vendors on lower 7th. The criteria limit vending to arts and crafts, antiques, and ethno- specific products (as opposed to just selling stuff).
And, at last Wednesday's EMCAC meeting, ANC6B Chair Chander Jayaraman pushed EMCAC for more budget transparency as well as for private management of the market (and Saturday vending on the 300 block of 7th Street) – which is required by law. He also said that EMCAC and ANC6B need to work together to take management of the Market "to the next level", especially on the issues of leases for South Hall merchants and funding. EMCAC Chair Donna Scheeder said more information on the status of the RFP for the 300 block of 7th Street, leases, and a time line for the long-awaited strategic plan market study could be available shortly, since EMCAC had a meeting scheduled with DGS on these issues.
The past couple of weeks had seen some contentious communications between Jayaraman and Scheeder over the de-privatization of the vending on the 300 block of 7th Street and this looked like détente.

"The criteria limit vending to arts and crafts, antiques, and ethno- specific products (as opposed to just selling stuff)."
Not quite sure what is wrong with "just selling stuff." I mean, it's a market, right? Market, from the Latin, deal, trade, buy. One person geegaw is another person's treasure.

Jamie Lee Curtis Hits Back At Fox News For Criticizing Her Character's Use Of Guns In 'Halloween' Film
The network published a piece accusing the actress of hypocrisy because Laurie Strode uses a firearm in the latest installment of the iconic slasher franchise.
By Sharon Lynn Pruitt
Jamie Lee Curtis has a lot to say about Fox News' recent call-out piece criticizing her for using guns in films, despite her public support of stricter gun control.
The outlet published a piece earlier this week that was widely criticized on social media describing the 59-year-old actress as "one of several Hollywood actors who use firearms in their films while preaching against them away from the set." In an interview with USA Today on Wednesday, Curtis called the report "a bunch of nonsense." It was "just silly," she continued, of the network to "make a point without ever asking me what I really think."
"I am vocal about common-sense gun safety and gun laws. For instance, I fully support an assault weapon ban, I fully support a bump stock ban," she told USA Today. "I fully support the Bill of Rights. And fully support the Second Amendment. And have absolutely no problem with people owning firearms if they have been trained, licensed, a background check has been conducted, a pause button has been pushed to give time for that process to take place. And they have to renew their license just like we do with automobiles – which are weapons also."
As Fox News pointed out, Curtis has previously used her social media platform to show support for gun law reform, like when she called for stricter laws following a school shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas in May that left 10 dead. But those views do not necessarily conflict with the portrayal of her iconic "Halloween" character Laurie Strode in the franchise's upcoming Oct. 19 release, she explained to USA Today.
"They knew that Laurie was going to be someone who used firearms," Curtis said of her character when speaking to the outlet. "And I think there were myriad types of firearms that could have been used in the movie. I was very clear with the filmmakers that she used the weapons [that] were intended for self-defense for her and her family."
Curtis told USA Today that viewers will notice that her character, when preparing to square off with the murderous Michael Myers, even retrieves her firearms from a locked cabinet, "and then very specifically says what each weapon does and why you would choose that weapon in self-defense."
Curtis made no apologies for being an actress who uses guns in films, however, explaining to the outlet that it's unavoidable in her line of work.
"I'm an actress who's in slasher movies. I have to be responsible for my own personal choices in my own personal life. But I am an actor for hire. And honestly, if I had made my career as a pacifist actor, I would never have worked, ever," she said. "But I have always been proud to represent women who fight back and fight back with intelligence, cunning and creativity, and who fight for their lives and their families' lives."

The recession is forcing companies across Canada to do something they find most distasteful — lay off staff just to keep the lights on.
In February, the national unemployment rate hit 7.7 per cent with 82,600 jobs lost last month alone, according to Statistics Canada.
If you were one of those let go, your first reaction may have been devastation, and a numbing inability to do anything more strenuous than sitting around the house feeling sorry for yourself.
While giving yourself a few days to get over a job loss may be necessary, many career coaches say it's crucial to use the momentum of a lay off to start job hunting as soon as possible.
That's the strategy 28-year-old Michael Goldberg from Toronto has taken, who less than two weeks after being laid off, started networking, found a part-time internship to update his skills and is working on his own business idea.
Goldberg had been working at CP 24 for three-and a-half years when he received the bad news in the form of a thank you, a severance package, and a good-bye.
The technology the station was using had been updated and his position of on-air graphics operator was no longer needed.
Rather than take any days off, which he says "would've been one of the worst mistakes," Goldberg contacted an old colleague from the news channel who runs Butterscotch.com, a beta site that teaches people how to do more with technology.
Andy Walker, the site's founder, offered him a part-time internship.
The internship allows Goldberg to go into the office a few days a week, help out on a few projects and learn new skills. The part-time hours also enable him to continue to hunting for a job, and to network with potential employers.
Besides the internship, Goldberg is also working on launching his own graphics design company, Graphical Productions, which offers consulting and project-based graphic design work.
Debra Forman, certified executive coach and owner of Pinstripe Coaching, endorses Goldberg's approach.
Her advice: Keep the mourning period to a minimum.
In the interim, laid-off tech professionals should consider re-training, sprucing up their skills or volunteering.
The last option may help them discover whether they should remain in the IT field or move to another industry she said.
An IT professional has many skills that could be used in other areas, but first he or she should determine where they really want to be and where the jobs are.
It's important to reconnect with others immediately through various channels, including social networking sites, such as LinkedIn, she said.
Igor Abramovitch, division director, consulting services at Robert Half Technology in Toronto.
Many jobs are listed on job boards, so don't ignore them, he said, but that's also where most of the competition is.
A more successful route involves engaging with trade associations or recruiting firms that may have an inside scoop on jobs that aren't advertised.
Improving your résumé is also a good strategy as it's key to getting your foot in the door, Abramovitch said.
Companies seem to be taking a much more selective approach to who they hire.
Abramovitch says it's trend Robert Half is seeing a lot these days.
In particular, they're looking for business skills on top of IT skills, he said. So emphasizing your communications or customer service expertise, improves your chances of landing a job in the IT field.
Creating a résumé that focuses on your accomplishments will also heighten your chances of getting hired, says another Canadian expert.
For instance, a résumé that lists programs you designed and installed, how you saved the company money, or how you streamlined processes – can portray you as a consistent performer, noted Martin Buckland, principal, Elite Résumés.
The Oakville, Ont.-based firm provides career management service for executives.
List companies you want to work for and market yourself to people there who are a rung higher than you on the corporate ladder, recommends Buckland.
For instance, a senior IT worker may target the chief technology officer.
A little ingenuity will help job hunters discover who those people are.
Buckland recommends calling the executive office, saying you want to send the company a business plan and need to find out who is in charge of IT.
"Don't mention the word résumé or they'll just pass you off to HR," he said.
The cover letter is just as crucial.
Buckland recommends writing a "pain resume," which identifies the pain points a company may be facing, which you will uncover through research, and lists the ways your skills might solve those problems.
The cover letter, he said, should never portray desperation in any way. Along those lines, it is not recommended to apply for jobs too far below your qualifications.
Sending your application directly to top management and networking will provide access to 70 to 75 per cent of jobs in Canada, Buckland said. Only 10 per cent of jobs will be found on job boards or print media.
The last strategy you could try is going through recruiters, he said. However this is becoming a less popular option as people are trying to save money and recruiters are quite expensive.
But it's one worth looking into if you can afford it.
Many severance packages also include access to a career counselor.
Lindsey Ehman was recently laid off from her position in the not-for-profit sector, but has been using access to a career counselor to not only find new work, but also change her line of work.
Rather than stay in the not-for-profit sector, Ehman is taking professional certification courses in public relations to upgrade her education and pursue a career in government or communications – two fields which continue to hire, despite the overall slump in the economy.

Sing, Unburied, Sing [GRPL Book Club]
Ward, Jesmyn
Book Club Kit - 2017
"A searing and profound Southern odyssey by National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward. In Jesmyn Ward's first novel since her National Book Award-winning Salvage the Bones, this singular American writer brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first-century America. Drawing on Morrison and Faulkner, The Odyssey and the Old Testament, Ward gives us an epochal story, a journey through Mississippi's past and present that is both an intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. Ward is a major American writer, multiply awarded and universally lauded, and in Sing, Unburied, Sing she is at the height of her powers. Jojo and his toddler sister, Kayla, live with their grandparents, Mam and Pop, and the occasional presence of their drug-addicted mother, Leonie, on a farm on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Leonie is simultaneously tormented and comforted by visions of her dead brother, which only come to her when she's high; Mam is dying of cancer; and quiet, steady Pop tries to run the household and teach Jojo how to be a man. When the white father of Leonie's children is released from prison, she packs her kids and a friend into her car and sets out across the state for Parchman farm, the Mississippi State Penitentiary, on a journey rife with danger and promise. Sing, Unburied, Sing grapples with the ugly truths at the heart of the American story and the power, and limitations, of the bonds of family. Rich with Ward's distinctive, musical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing is a majestic new work and an essential contribution to American literature"-- Provided by publisher.

Prior to January 1, 2005, a California worker injured while performing his or her job could go to any doctor for medical treatment. The law changed, and now, the employee must be treated through the employer's medical provider network (MPN).
Protect your rights to appropriate medical care and financial compensation. Call 619-683-2346 for a free initial consultation with lawyer Leslie S. Shaw. Feel free to contact our San Diego law firm online.
If you are an injured worker and you do not agree with your treatment or your MPN doctor's diagnosis, you have the right to go to another doctor — provided that doctor is in your employer's MPN. If your employer does not have an MPN, you can select your own doctor. Regardless of whether a medical provider network is or is not in place, the employer/insurance company has medical control for the first 30 days after reporting your injury.
It is hard to know what your rights are in regard to obtaining medical care, especially because the insurance company is not on your side and workers' compensation laws are complicated and confusing when it comes to temporary and permanent disability benefits.
A lawyer who is experienced in handling workers' compensation matters and dealing with insurance companies can mean the difference between a successful treatment of your injury and losing out on benefits you deserve.
Lawyer Leslie S. Shaw can help you locate the medical professional most appropriate for your needs. She can stand up to an employer's insurance company that does not agree with your treatment plan, and she can make sure that you meet all deadlines and seek to pursue your case in a swift, timely and diligent manner.
There are often disputes between the company's doctor and your own doctor over the appropriate way to treat an injury and a condition. It is precisely for this reason that you need an advocate to stand up for your rights.
Attorney Leslie S. Shaw has been a practicing lawyer for more than 17 years. She knows that there are some very good doctors within the medical provider network who have treated their patients with respect and with attention to their medical condition.
For aggressive protection of your rights to compensation as an injured worker, contact us or call 619-683-2346 or toll free at 866-516-0548 for a free initial consultation. Se habla español.

Newchurch is a village in the centre of the Romney Marsh, having at its heart the church of St Peter & St Paul.
The village is mainly composed of a farming community of about 300. This had remained for many years at 250 but over the last twenty years has risen to the current level.
Over the years the village has had, apart from the church, a school, a village hall, various shops and a public house but the school closed and was transferred to the village hall. In due time this was also closed at which time a new hall was built. The nearest schools now are at New Romney and Dymchurch. The public house closed and following the pattern of the school house, the old village hall, vicarage and the shops, all were eventually closed and are now private dwellings. The only businesses still active are a restaurant and the new village hall which also incorporates a social club. We also have a visit from the post office for one hour each week in the Village Hall. Much extra information concerning the village can be found on the new website at www.newchurchvillage.org
However, following a period of decline, prospects are presently looking good. We have activities such as a weekly toddlers' group, a short mat bowls club, W.I. and a dog club in addition to a monthly auction together with the annual village pantomime, plus the busy social club.

Our rather large 13th century church covers most types of service. We hold weekly services varying from Family Services, Communion by Extension, Morning Prayer and full Communion when an ordained priest is available. Any fifth Sunday is usually kept for a Benefice Service. These are usually held in our church during the summer due to the 'cool' atmosphere.
We try to keep the church open daily throughout the year for visitors. To enable all who wish to visit, to inspect or to discover, our History Exhibition is based in the north chapel. For those who wish to spend a quiet time in prayer, the south chapel is made available.

Between the Lines 2020, Vanderbilt Libraries Outreach
Symbols and Archetypes: Two Millennia of Recurring Visions in Art
Photo by Phil Nagy
Symbols & Archetypes: Two Millennia of Recurring Visions in Art, the Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery's exhibition, made headlines (and a cover page) during its fall 2019 run. Art & Antiques profiled the exhibition in a five-page feature titled "Ageless Images"; The Nashville Scene said our trans-collection exhibition "leads the season's must-see art shows" in its Fall Guide; and the Tennessean published a piece that included a fantastic quote from Volney Gay—emeritus professor of Psychiatry, Religious Studies and Anthropology—who advised on the exhibition.
Burnaway, The Voice of Art in the South reviewed the exhibition as "a meditative, slightly spooky trip into the collective unconscious… displaying artifacts and artworks including ancient Chinese currency, alchemical texts, a selection of tarot card decks and proto-surrealist illustrations, twentieth-century lithographs by Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, and Pablo Picasso, and works by more contemporary artists including the Tennessee-based painters David Onri Anderson and Rubens Ghenov." Read the full review.
The exhibition examined artworks and artifacts from different eras, cultures, and disciplines, all through the lens of the archetypal themes that they share. This gallery presentation took as its point of departure Carl Jung's 1912 publication Symbols of Transformation, which frames the unconscious as a collective psyche, and the instinctive force driving visions to reappear time and again throughout human history—in dreams, religions, folklore and art from across the world. Organized into four categories—Celestial Events, Major Arcana, Serpents & Slayers, and Sacred Geometries—the exhibition explored artworks made over the span of two thousand years, to include: Chinese currency from the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE); fifth-century illuminated manuscripts; alchemical texts from sixteenth-century Germany; early European tarot cards, proto-surrealist illustration by nineteenth-century French caricaturist J.J. Grandeville; collaged self-portraits by avant-garde French photographer Claude Cahun; twentieth-century lithographs by Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí; and Vanderbilt Television News Archives from the Apollo moon landing. Alongside historical works were those by twenty-first century artists whose imagery delves into the collective unconscious: Martin Puryear (b. 1941, USA), Rubens Ghenov (b. 1975, Brazil), Sharona Eliassaf (b. 1980, Israel), and Nashville-based David Onri Anderson (b. 1993, USA) among them.
A lecture by Curator Rachel Lavenda focused on the history of Tarot using items from The George Clulow–United States Playing Card Company Gaming Collection in Vanderbilt's Special Collections Library.

Home AFL News North Melbourne to play 12 more matches in Tasmania
North Melbourne to play 12 more matches in Tasmania
The Roos will continue their partnership with the Apple Isle for another three years.

North Melbourne will continue to host home AFL matches in Tasmania for the next three seasons, with 12 games to be played from 2023-2025.
As part of their announcement with Spirit of Tasmania extending their partnership with the Kangaroos, the Arden Street club confirmed 12 further matches will be held in Hobart as part of their schedule for the next three seasons.
The Kangaroos played four matches in the Apple Isle capital this year, facing Geelong, Port Adelaide, Adelaide and Hawthorn.
North Melbourne have played a total of 31 matches at Bellerive Oval in over a decade as they continue their partnership and representation in Tasmania.
The 2023 AFL fixture is expected to be revealed as early as next week, with the Roos to feature in at least four matches in the island state.
The news comes just weeks after Hawthorn confirmed their partnership with Tasmania for 2023, signing a one-year contract that will see them continue to call Launceston home.
The Hawks will also play four home matches in Tasmania, all of which coming at UTAS Stadium.

The extended partnerships of both North Melbourne and Hawthorn come as the AFL near an announcement on the expansion of the league to a 19th license, with Tasmania in line to be recognised as the competition's newest club.
State Premier Jeremy Rockliff recently announced the AFL and his government had "reached an in principal agreement on the key commercial terms to bring a Tasmanian team into the AFL" in what is a major step for the state's hopes of securing the 19th license.
An official decision on expanding the AFL could come later this month as talks between the league and Tasmanian government continue.

5 MOMENTS IN GERMAN POLITICS / BEST OF 2013
What is a Vote?
I was walking to the place where I was supposed to cast my vote for this year's Bundestagswahl, it was a splendid September morning, and my daughter insisted to understand why I chose not to vote – I tried to explain that I think the system is somewhat fucked and that it was a conscious and very political decision not to take part in something that I believe is flawed; but I realized that this is not very convincing to a six-year-old.
Who is Angela Merkel?
I was heading towards the restaurant Neumann's with the Indian writer Pankaj Mishra, the place is close to the Berliner Hauptbahnhof and the CDU of the district of Moabit was holding their election party there – when we passed the huge campaign poster for Merkel showing nothing but her hands folded in this strange rombus gesture, no words, no message, just this symbol of strength, this is how Pankaj described it; when we arrived at Neumann's it turned out the the owner was Indian, which was a nice surprise.
Where is the Future?
At the Accelerationist Congress in December the hunt was on to find out where and when the Left had lost its mojo – and the very convincing answer was that it was when the idea of the future was forgotten, so essential to any change: Because without future there is no horizon, and you need a horizon to know where you are headed; so we are stuck in the seemingly endless present.
What is the Sound of Politics?
It was a good idea, to read the contract the grand coalition between the CDU/CSU and the SPD had agreed upon after the September election: An eighty-percent-government, really close to a Volkskongress – and just listening to the nonsensical way this politicians drafting the contract use language to mask reality was an act of protest against a political class unwilling or unable to communicate in a grown-up manner; democracy is replaced by tautology.
Would You Do the Same?
Edward Snowden is the man who changed the way we perceive freedom, the West, security, technology, the United States, governments, privacy, Germany, the world for that matter – he may very well be a Mandela with prescription glasses, a hero for our time.
Georg Diez is a columnist at Spiegel Online and co-founder of 60 Pages.


Both Jefferson and Tupponce are musicians.
Born in the Harlem neighborhood in New York City, Jefferson's family moved to Charlotte when he was a year old. His father, a shipping clerk by day, played drums, tap danced and was a comedian at Charlotte's old Hi-Fi supper club.
His mother, Rosa, played piano at their church. Jefferson, as a seventh-grader, learned trombone and played with his junior high school's band and orchestra; he later learned to play piano.
After earning a bachelor's degree at N.C. A&T State University in electrical engineering, a certificate in arranging and composition at Berklee College of Music, and a master's degree in information management systems, he served as band director and music arranger for funk, soul and R&B singer James Brown "off and on for 25 years," he said.
He serves as information technology project manager for Mecklenburg County's Water and Land Resources Division, and is executive director of A Sign of the Times of the Carolinas, a nonprofit he founded that is dedicated to improving the community through cultural productions and educational programs that reflect the heritage of African-Americans.
Tupponce became a singer at an early age. "I began singing when I was just a child," she said. But she credits her mother with giving her a needed push to perform in public by urging her to perform in a Christmas program at their church when she was 10.
After receiving a bachelor's degree in sociology at N.C. Central University, a master's in regional planning at UNC-Chapel Hill and accreditation in municipal administration at UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Government, she held planning director, division manager and consulting jobs with Santee Lynches Regional Council of Governments in Sumter, S.C., N.C. Department of Transportation in Raleigh, Winston-Salem's City-County Planning Board and the city of Charlotte.
Now owner and president of Tupponce Enterprises II Inc., a Charlotte-based consulting, training and facilitation firm, she serves as program director for A Sign of the Times of the Carolinas and lead vocalist for A Sign of the Times jazz and R&B ensemble.
Both the couple and Sandra McMullen, marketing director for A Sign of the Times, believe that the organization's work has helped the black, white and Latino communities connect and understand each other's culture through the music, dance and spoken word programs. Sometimes members perform as a 24-member band and oftentimes as a five- to six-member combo or ensemble.
But rarely do they play parties, Jefferson said.
"We party for a purpose," he said with a smile. And the purpose is to make the world a better place through learning the history of the music and dances that evolved through blending America's diverse cultures.
Stereotypes and biases are hard to break, Jefferson said.
But he's convinced that the shared love and history of the black community's contribution to America's music genres can help bridge the gap of understanding.
"Unless you know about what you are and where you came from, you can't grow," said McMullen.
