Oldest board game
By The Generalist on August 8, 2019 • ( 2 Comments )
The Royal Game of Ur is the oldest board game for which we have a near-complete set of rules. People were playing it five thousand years ago, and it is still played today.

The game was popular throughout the Middle East and India. The earliest boards date back to 3000 BCE, dug up from the Royal Cemetery at Ur – hence the game's name – and are now housed at the British Museum. That's roughly as old as one of the other contenders for oldest game: Senet. But we're not entirely sure of the original rules to play Senet. We know the rules of the Royal Game of Ur because a Babylonian scribe named Itti-Marduk-Balāṭu wrote them down around 177 BCE.
The game plays like backgammon but with four-sided dice. You can see an example of the gameplay in the video below. Two players race their pieces around a track, bumping each other back to the start and trying to be the first to get all their pieces to the end. Thanks Itti-Marduk-Balāṭu, for being the first rulebook editor in history!

Exploring the Toronto Japanese Film Festival
Japan has made its mark on the 20th and 21st centuries with films that blend new technology, time-honoured storytelling and a keen artistic eye.
A MOVIE-MAKING EMPIRE
Once a respected but niche market in North America, Japanese film has exploded in the last decade or so, filling theatres across the globe and even inspiring a slew of Hollywood blockbusters with Japanese flair. This month, the fourth annual Toronto Japanese Film Festival (TJFF) brings us some of the country's best films, as recognized by Japanese moviegoers, critics, international film festival audiences and the Japanese Film Academy. Before diving into all that the festival has to offer, dip your toe into the industry's century-long history.
FROM KABUKI TO ANIME
Movies first came to Japan in 1896, the year after Thomas Edison introduced the Kinetoscope to America. In those early days the films were just two- to three-minute recorded kabuki performances, using new technology to showcase a traditional form of theatre in a new light. Just as in kabuki, female roles were performed by onnagata, male actors who specialized in portraying women. The screenings were accompanied by live music and energetically narrated by benshi, performers who conveyed the story and provided a running commentary—also drawing on traditional theatre forms such as kabuki and Noh. Benshi also served as translators for the earliest foreign films. The early 20th century saw the rise of the Pure Film Movement, whose advocates called for filmmakers to explore the creative frontier and to experiment with this new technology, rather than reproducing the same theatrical tropes. Japan also saw an influx of American silent comedies and German expressionist films. These domestic and foreign influences helped inspire directors like Yasujiro Ozu and Teinosuke Kinugasa to break with tradition and take greater advantage of the possibilities created by the cinematic form.
TO MAKE A MOVING PICTURE
More change was in the air by the mid-1920s as real women replaced onnagata in female roles, but films remained silent, even as other countries were adopting sound technology. The first feature-length talkie wasn't made until 1930, partly due to the power of the benshi, who up until then had been influential in the emerging field. Resistance to talkies continued until theatre owners phased out the performers' role, even after benshi tried to strike. Film giant Akira Kurosawa's own brother was a benshi who committed suicide when his profession vanished.
ARTISTRY AND APPRENTICESHIP
Like the classic Hollywood studio system, early Japanese film studios were also powerful machines, but Japanese directors had more control over the writing, cinematography and editing, which gave rise to more notable stylistic differences among various artists. The studios also operated under an apprentice system, where aspiring artists could work their way up the ladder, learning technical skills as they progressed. Luminary directors like Akira Kurosawa and Kenji Mizoguchi caught worldwide attention in the 1950s, leaving their mark on the North American imagination with films ranging from samurai epics, to supernatural procedurals, to portraits of the modern salary man. Contemporary Japanese films are making their mark in different ways. Anime has come to dominate box offices at home and abroad—60 per cent of the nation's films are animated—and director Hayao Miyazaki is now a household name, even as Japanese horror creeps its way into the dark dreams of young North American teens.
LOW BUDGET, HIGH IMPACT
Live-action films of all genres have garnered critical and popular acclaim, though they tend to work with smaller budgets, more subtle plots and more ambiguous conclusions than the typical Hollywood fare. This tendency toward narrative ambiguity means that not all stories have a happy ending, a quality that can evoke mono no aware, a traditional Japanese esthetic which expresses sensitivity to the world and an awareness of the transience of all things. Just as the earliest Japanese films combined native traditions with new technology, contemporary filmmakers continue to tell stories using a mixture of old and new, East and West. Catch a glimpse of the rich, complex world of Japanese cinema at the TJFF, opening on Thursday, June 11.

Nobujiro, a young doctor and author, and his Aunt Genbei, master of the official inn of the temple, try to help the various kakekomi— including the beautiful concubine O-Gin, the sword-maker Jogo and a mysterious samurai wife on the run. Based on the novel by Hisashi Inoue, Kakekomi boasts a witty script, charming performances and spectacular photography.

But when she approaches a teahouse in Kyoto's famous geisha district to become an apprentice geisha, or maiko, she is rejected due to her country bumpkin dialect and uncultivated demeanour. By chance, her accent catches the interest of Professor Kyono, a linguistics specialist and regular patron at the teahouse. He strikes a deal with the teahouse proprietor, promising to transform Haruko's strong dialect into ladylike speech within six months….

Biografia
Nato in Francia, Clive era figlio di un colonnello inglese.

Raggiunse il successo sulle scene teatrali inglesi con il dramma Journey's End, portato in scena al Savoy Theatre di Londra. Il regista James Whale gli offrì il ruolo del tormentato capitano Denis Stanhope anche nella versione cinematografica dell'opera, Journey's End (1930), con la quale Clive debuttò sugli schermi americani nel 1930.

Clive consolidò il proprio successo con il ruolo del dottor Henry Frankenstein in Frankenstein (1931) e La moglie di Frankenstein (1935), sempre per la regia di James Whale. Apparve inoltre in un altro celebre horror degli anni trenta, Amore folle (1936), per la regia di Karl Freund, accanto a Peter Lorre, e anche in un film con Katharine Hepburn, La falena d'argento (1933).

Afflitto da un alcolismo cronico che ne compromise la breve carriera, Clive morì prematuramente all'età di 37 anni, per le complicazioni dovute alla tubercolosi.

Henry Frankenstein

Il personaggio di Henry Frankenstein non compare nel libro Frankenstein, o il moderno Prometeo di Mary Shelley (1816), dal quale il film della Universal Pictures venne liberamente tratto nel 1931: il protagonista del romanzo si chiama infatti Viktor Frankenstein.

Nei due film di James Whale, primi della saga di Frankenstein realizzata dalla Universal, il Barone Frankenstein compare nel primo film (interpretato da Frederick Kerr); tuttavia nel film è il Dr. Henry Frankenstein a creare il mostro.

An attacker actively targets exploitation of weaknesses, limitations and assumptions in the mechanisms a target utilizes to manage identity and authentication. Such exploitation can lead to the complete subversion of any trust the target system may have in the identity of any entity with which it interacts. Weaknesses targeted by these sorts of attacks are often due to assumptions and overconfidence in the strength or rigor of the implemented authentication mechanisms.

Best Practices | Recognition
Striving for recognition
It has taken a long time for women to become recognized as leaders in the art world. There are many examples of women gallerists in history who profoundly impacted the business with their accomplishments.
Does being a woman make a difference in the arts field? In the twentieth century, women have accomplished a lot in the arts. It is quite a recent phenomenon that women have taken positions in the art world as heads of museums or gallery owners.
WOMEN GALLERISTS ON THE SCENE
In the twentieth century, many galleries founded by women played a key role in the international art scene, enabling the emergence and recognition of new artists and new trends. In the footsteps of Berthe Weill, a pioneer who opened a gallery in Paris in 1901, women gallerists have been discoverers of talent, reaching to the unexplored, passionate and exciting; and have allowed a whole new generation to be known and recognized.
A MUSEUM DIRECTOR CAN BE A FEMALE JOB
It is mainly from the 1980s that some women began to enter the elitist club of museum directors. Now they are directing dozens of art centers and museums. But let's remember that the Guggenheim museum in Venice and the Whitney museum in New York were initiated by women.

GERTRUDE AND PEGGY, EXAMPLES OF SUCCESS IN ART
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the museum's namesake and founder, was herself a well-regarded sculptor as well as a serious art collector. As a patron of the arts, in 1929 she offered to donate her work to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As the Met declined the gift, in 1931 she decided to open her own museum exclusively for American Art. In the modern-Medici world of 20th-century art patronage and art collecting, Peggy Guggenheim was a unique character. She collected art like nobody else, picking up items that didn't sell, and works for which there was, as yet, no market, just because she loved them. She discovered Jackson Pollock when he was a humble carpenter in Solomon Guggenheim's museum, and gave him his first exhibition in 1950 at the Museo Correr in Venice. Now her collection is amongst the most renowned around the world.
WOMEN OPEN GALLERIES
As recognition came for women, others also decided to get involved by opening art galleries. And though some might think that there are a lot of women, let's not forget that it was not always the case. More than a specific education path, it is their passion and determination that led them to take the risk of promoting normally unknown artists and help them build their careers. For a long time women gallerists were not respected as some people saw them as bored housewives. Leo Castelli's first wife Ileana Sonnabend was one of these formidable dealers of 20th century art. She ran a contemporary art gallery in Paris during the early 1960s after the couple divorced and was a true discoverer of emerging talent. In the 1970s, she opened another contemporary art gallery in New York, the Sonnabend Gallery. In Paris, Denise René was a key example of determination. She started working in 1945 and her gallery still exists. And as Daniel Abadie puts it in his book "Form and Movement in 20th Century Art", "Denise René took the idea that art must invent new paths in order to exist as her guiding principle."

GALLERY ACTIVITIES
In truth, the job is not about holidays, cocktails and endless art talks. Days are exciting yet long, and whether one is a man or a woman, there is more to learn about moving crates and artworks, installing or drilling holes in the walls, than preparing a perfect cocktail. In fact, there is no usual day. During a show preparation it is all about running around and logistics. Then as the show starts, it is also about communicating your passion to the art collectors who come and eventually convincing them of the presented artists' quality. Then the day is not over as the gallerist has to promote the artists in other places, from art fairs to museums and art centers. And this is even more work when you decide, as I did in 2009, to expand and open a second (or third for some) gallery in another place in the world. The job is multi-faceted, and that is the exciting part of it. Recognition is real when it comes from peers, regardless of their gender. Several women artists had their work recognized, such as when the photographer Lee Miller did a cover for Life magazine, or more recently when Sophie Calle and Annette Messager represented France at the Venice Biennale. However, note that at the Festival de Cannes in more than sixty editions, only one woman has won the Palme d'Or.
With the rise of new media, women artists also know how to take their chances and use all the tools to convey their messages. German filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger, makes unconventional videos with stunning visual richness and playful accents. Since the 70s, she has built plural and poetic work, leading her audience into extraordinary and enchanting worlds. Others such as the Guerrilla Girls raise a question. In a widely shown poster they ask: "Do women have to be naked to get into U.S. museums?". In 1989, when the Guerrilla Girls did the first version of their poster, less than 5% of the works in the Modern and Contemporary Sections of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art were by women, but 85% of the nudes were female. In the fall of 2004 we went back and recounted. SURPRISE. Not much had changed. In fact, there were a few less women artists than fifteen years before! Needless to say, women have a long way to go to be recognized.
A glance at the Gallery workplace with Andrée Sfeir-Semler
Andrée Sfeir-Semler
What is the concept behind managing an art gallery or museum? I manage a commercial gallery and our aim is to represent an artist by first discovering him or her, promoting and showing their work, contacting museums, taking care of costs, and selling the pieces. We organize exhibition shows in a huge space every 6 weeks or 2 months.
Why are there many women gallerists? Actually, most of the leading galleries of the world are run by men. For example when you look at New York, there are a few prominent women gallerists, but the majority of galleries/museums are owned and managed by men. If you look at the broader art scene, you can find many smaller galleries managed by women. The one exception to this rule is Madrid, where most of the important galleries are run by women.
What kind of personal and professional "path" has led women gallerists to this job position? If you look not only at the art world, but also at the general structure of society, the highest jobs still go to men. Women in art galleries and museums normally have assisting roles, but not at the top management level. I have a PhD in Art History, which is of course a requirement for the field, but I use Business a lot more. For a woman, it is very challenging to reach the top.
How do women gallerists organize their work day? It is all about business. We talk about how business comes first and culture second. You have to have the skills and know which artists to promote. Once you pick them, you need to know how to finance them by selling their work. The idyllic portrait of the "starving artist" is obviously not the goal.
What relationship do you have with new media? When I started my gallery in 1985, I only worked by phone. Now everything is done with new media, our website and email. A website is one of the best forms of promotion and I read around 200-300 emails per day for communication.
The new Florence Nightingale Museum Opens in May 2010
The Florence Nightingale Museum re-opens on May 12, the birth date of the Lady of the Lamp. Situated in the grounds of St Thomas' Hospital on the site where Florence established her very first Nightingale Training School for Nurses, the Museum tells her story via three pavilions, focusing on her Victorian childhood, the Crimean War and her later years as an ardent campaigner for health reform. The Museum also celebrates the profession of nursing and explores Florence's legacy to today's nursing practice. The Museum features an unparalleled collection of Nightingalia, with highlights including the writing slate Florence used as a child; the medicine chest she took to the Crimean war; a rare Register of Nurses which lists the women who served under her in the military hospitals in Turkey and the Crimean; and her pet little Owl Athena who travelled everywhere in her pocket. The highly visual and engaging interpretation features interactive and touchscreen exhibits, films, a creative programme of free arts activities for children, and regular contemporary art exhibitions which will see artists respond to different aspects of Florence's life and legacy. Visitors even use a pair of stethoscopes to hear the audio tour. Caroline Worthington, director, of Florence Nightingale Museum says "this is a special year for Florence and the new Museum is a very fitting tribute to someone who has contributed so much to modern day nursing. Florence has inspired so many men and women to join a profession which we all rely on and it is fascinating to see that the issues she tackled such as hospital hygiene, caring for soldiers and the training of nurses are still hugely relevant today. We are excited about welcoming a wide range of audiences to discover more about this iconic Briton."

Arts insurances Zurich in the last few years has gathered a great art collection in order to embellish its workplaces. Furthermore Zurich sponsors some important cultural institutions: the Art Basel and an annual award: The Zurich Art Prize.
Aesthetics and flavour: two inseparable concepts Illy is partner of the most important international art fair worldwide.In 1992 Illy created the first collection of cups trying to combine the aesthetic of the cup together with the taste and flavour of coffee.
Arts collections, exhibitions, international arts fairs but also literature, music, theaters and creative thinking. In the next issue we will focus on these to understand which are the latest trends in this sector and which are the best practices for working with arts.
"Arts reflects who we are – as a society, as an individuals, and as an institution. It can remind us of our collective heritage. Our hint at our future. The same goes for us- UBS." This is the thinking that has lead UBS to invest a lot on their Art Collection and on becoming sponsor of several international arts museums. Also the BMW Group has a strong interest in all forms of cultural expression, both globally and locally. For its own employees as well as for a wide cross-section of the interested public. They think that "by cooperating with and supporting artists as well as those involved in culture in a broader sense, the BMW Group's Communication division wishes to set thematically challenging and convincing accents." The philosofical concept of the kalokagathia links indissoluble taste and flavour to beauty: what is good is also nice and vice versa. To follow this ideal Illy has contributed to the circulation of contemporary art and to the support of young artists and international arts fairs, for fifteen years.

Asbestos use was finally banned from the UK in 1999, but remains present in the buildings of many private and public sector workplaces. Employers have a duty to protect workers from the well-known risk of fatal disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibres.
More than 2,500 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma, a fatal asbestos-induced cancer, in the UK every year, bringing the total estimated annual asbestos related deaths to over 5,000, including lung cancer.
Head of asbestos litigation at Thompsons Solicitors, Ian McFall, said: "In the UK alone we have already witnessed the tragedy of 60,000 deaths from mesothelioma and a further 90,000 people are expected to die from the effects of past asbestos exposure.
"The UK has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world; a damning legacy of employer negligence.

There is no information about his biological father, but he was born to his mother, Shauna Marie Campbell. He was raised by his single mother, and initially, when they were in Wisconsin, the family struggled a lot.
Due to better job opportunities, his mother, along with Camp, moved to Atlanta, Georgia. There is no information about his high school education, but he always loved performing and was a part of a group called HBC (Head Busser Clique). After graduating from high school, he enrolled himself at the University of West Georgia. Even during his University education, they were burdened with a financial crisis.
Right from childhood, Camp is a man with principles and made no compromises to his decisions, putting full efforts on whatever he did. He always followed his heart, chased his dreams through hard work and dedication. He took part in numerous competitions when he was in high school and university.
There are no records of Camp dating anyone in high school or at the university. Currently, he is single and keeping his personal life a secret. There are rumors about Kamp dating a fellow female rapper. Also, he has been seen with Keke Palmer for a few times, but the duo denies going out with each other.

Camp started his music career in high school when he joined a group called 'HBC.' They were famous in high school and slowly started getting local attention. Unfortunately, their ambitions were different, so they split, and everyone parted their ways. Camp decided to stay in the lane of music and performed at numerous contests where few of the music personalities got famous.
The camp became focused and serious about his career in music and spent most of his time writing music. All his hard work paid off when he came up with a mix called 'All Night' in the year 2009. There was something unique about that mix, which made it very likable and popular among the music lovers, which earned him much-needed fame and fortune.
After gaining experience and some funds, Camp produced two of the similar records, which soon got to the people who were interested in making a collaboration with him. Finally, he signed a contract with Interscope Records and launched his debut EP. He got a lot of recognition on his debut EP, and one of his singles 'Cut Her Off' became very famous around the country.
Camp made few songs featuring '2 Chainz' and was fortunate that some of the high-profile artists like Wiz Khalifa and Rick Ross decided to remake his songs. In the year of 2015, he released a brand new studio album, but the album didn't sell much in the market as it didn't have catchy rhymes like the previous ones.
K Camp is still young and has a long road ahead of him. Till now, he has released only one major studio album, which was not a hit. His biggest achievement would be getting nominated for 'BET Hip-Hop Awards' for his single 'Cut Her Off.'
Net Worth & Salary of K Camp in 2021
K Camp Net Worth
As of January 2021, The estimated net worth of K Camp is approximately $3 million. His main source of income has been his contribution to the world of Hip-Hop.

K Camp has learned from his mistakes and is now preparing himself to get back on the track of Hip-Hop. Currently, he is single and is fully focusing on his career.

The editing stage - a process that has left many a talented writer banging their heads against their desks in frustration. We can help you get through it, with these articles on the art of the rewrite and the common mistakes you need to be looking for.
Author, essayist and professor Margot Singer on how bending genre and approaching your writing in a new way can help you revise and rewrite your way to the finished piece.
Earlier this year I wrote an article for the Writers' and Artists' website about my experience of being a runner up in a national writing competition, and about how I used that moment in the spotlight to secure an agent.
Thanks to all who read and commented on last week's post about community. It seemed to go down pretty well – perhaps writers aren't such a solitary bunch after all.
There's hope for us all yet, eh?
William Ryan, acclaimed novelist and course leader of our 10- week writing course Your Novel, shares his five top tips on improving your first draft and honing your manuscript to make it the best it can possibly be.
Did you spot the deliberate mistakes? If so, read no further, you're off the hook!
What happens when your manuscript is in the hands of a professional reader?
Cressida Downing, is a professional reader for Writers' & Artists' services, literary agents, publishers and literary scouts. Among her slush-pile finds has been a novel that attracted a six-figure publishing deal.
Thanks to all who read and commented on last week's post. It's great to see writers getting engaged and eager to make better art, and tell better stories.
When you think you have finished your book and it is ready to be published, think again. No matter how good the plot line, if your manuscript is filled with typos and grammar errors, it will greatly reduce your chances of getting a publisher or agent to take you seriously.


What three things are wrong with this agenda?
Have you got your three yet? If not, get them before you read on!
Meetings are supposed to cause things to happen. That's why you have them.
So your final agenda item should always be 'Actions arising'. That way, there'll be some.
When you end with 'Any other business', that just says 'let's talk about more stuff'. So people do.
A meeting's title sets the tone for the whole thing.
This one's called 'Update meeting'. So everybody rocks up, expecting to be updated.
However, if you call it 'Meeting to agree priorities and actions with XYZ', people turn up knowing they're about to be clearer on priorities and actions.
The agenda used input verbs – the things we'll be putting in – discuss, update and review.
But the trouble with these inputs is – what's the output? How do you know you've finished it? I don't know the end-point of 'discuss' – do you?
So, instead, use output verbs. This will probably be one of the two As – actions or agreement.
Compare that to the agenda at the top.
I'm speaking at the UK's largest sales conference in November (there's a great speaker line-up, including Sir Clive Woodward). Fancy coming along?


On Saturday 24 January Truro School hosted the Cornwall Schools' Cross Country Championships. In near perfect conditions with the sun shining and the rain holding off, the Truro School athletes performed admirably, producing some very fine results.
Our Year 7 Girls' team of Rosie, Poppy, Laura and Elinor came in 2nd place, a great team performance showing the importance of every runner in the team.
The Junior Girls' Team of Emily, Freya, Scarlet and Lily were placed 1st with Emily also coming in 3rd place individually. Everyone in the team came in in the top 15 which is a fantastic result.
The Year 7 boys' team of Benjy, Will and Darcy were placed 1st with Sam also coming in 3rd place individually.
The Junior Boys' team of Finn, Harris, Alex and Elliot was placed 1st with all four boys finishing in the top 10; Finn being placed 1st and Harris 2nd.
In the Senior Girls' event Molly produced a superb performance to win finishing nearly a whole minute in front of her nearest rival.
A total of 10 of our young athletes have now been selected to run for Cornwall in the Regional Championships to be held in Chippenham on Saturday 7 February.

Intro/Outro: Foundation Diploma Art & Design show 2015
Helen Carney Published date
This year's Foundation Diploma Art & Design show 'Intro/Outro' is just days away from opening – the show begins on Monday 27 April 2015, with a Private View on Tuesday 28 April. All are welcome!
Below we preview some of the student work you can look forward to seeing around the College.
© Linnet van Veen
In 'The Unspoken Truth', Linnet van Veen has taken inspiration from Aboriginal art made up of abstract symbols, dots and lines, and has adapted this ancient form of creative expression for the modern world.
Linnet explored the internet and social media for symbols that represent our fixation with it, as well as its influence on us, and turned them into patterns, screen printing them over one another using vibrant colours.
© Aayushi Gupta
Aayushi Gupta's intaglio collograph prints explore exploitation within the artificial hair industry.
Aayushi's research led her to investigate how young girls and women in villages in Indian are emotionally manipulated to go through with the practice of tonsuring (cutting or shaving the hair as a sign of religious devotion) in order to create the raw material for hair extensions.
The resulting prints show the delicate fine lines of real hair and demonstrate how real hair is artificialised by the industry in order to satisfy its unrealistic beauty standards.
© Eve Baer Reilly
Eve Baer Reilly has created three subversive colouring books depicting films by Stanley Kubrick, based on her research into the Stanley Kubrick Archive, held at the Archives and Special Collections Centre at LCC.
She uses the juxtaposition of adult themes and an item synonymous with children to encourage a discussion about the evolution and future of children's entertainment, at a time when children are increasingly exposed to adult content online.
© Laura Knott
Laura Knott's work highlights the contrast between the poverty and violence often connected to diamond mining in central and southern Africa, and the status of diamonds as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
Following a visit to London's Hatton Garden, famous for its jewellery shops, Laura decided to use jewellery boxes to present 50 pointillist pencil illustrations exposing the brutality behind these 'conflict diamonds'.
© Marlee King
Marlee King's 'Bowie's Alphabet' is inspired by her own childhood bedroom as a David Bowie fan, and her screen prints are an eclectic mix of his most well-known characters, from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke and Jareth the Goblin King.
The alphabet itself is made up of letters found phonetically in Bowie's music – visitors are encouraged to put the headphones on and be transported to the mind and room of a Bowie fan.
© Babachuwe Tabase
Babachuwe Tabase's 'Something out of nothing' uses letterpress to create a figurative, abstract image of his early Kaye Walker frame, which was a significant part of his life while he was struggling to overcome his disability and walk.
Babachuwe used the frame for eight years, and hung pieces of his artwork off the frame in order to completely personalise the space.
This piece is intended as a celebration of how far he has come as an individual and an art student during his Foundation course.
© Tamara Ibrahim
'Sponsored by Fight Club' by Tamara Ibrahim is a collection of 30 A3 screen prints that convey the delivery of lines in David Fincher's film Fight Club (1999) through typography and colour.
Starting with a design for "I know this because Tyler knows this", Tamara found that the simpler her designs were, the easier it became to depict the content of the lines typographically.
This fantastic work and that of all our other graduating Foundation students is on display in the show, which runs until Wednesday 6 May.

According to a recent Blog post by Google's Yoshikiyo Kato and Pierre Far, sites with mobile experience issues won't rank as highly in the future in Google's mobile or smartphone search results.
The two followed the news up by explaining two common mobile configuration mistakes and then suggested that these future search ranking changes will help to improve the search experience of smartphones using Google.
Another common mistake laid out by Kato and Far occurs when smartphone users, while trying to access a web page listed in search instead get an error and nothing listed.
Google says that if your site's mobile friendly pages are properly configured that it will "improve the mobile web, make your users happy and allow searchers to experience your content fully."

CBMU 510 – CBD 1059
Enlistment
Dutch Harbor
Adak
Sand Bay
Andrews Lagoon
Camp Parks
It was around August that the scuttle butt started to fly. The rumor was the 510 was moving again, where to was anybody's guess. If you listened to the guy's they had us going all over the pacific, and I started to wonder if we were moving at all. This went on for a couple of weeks and one morning we got word that the Officer in Charge, Lt. Larson, wanted to talk to the whole unit at one time on Saturday. We were anxious to find out what was going on. We all went to big hanger at the airfield and all the Officers were there. It did not take long for Lt. Larson to start to talk and he said he was sure that nobody in the 510 would object to what he was going to say. He had us all hanging on to his every word and with that he said "We are going back to the states next week". It sounded like a bomb had gone off we were a bunch of happy guys!
We spent a couple of days getting all our gear together. This time we did not have to say goodbye to anybody we were all going to be leaving together. We were put on trucks and we were off to the docks on Adak to board the ship that would take us home. When we got there I saw that we were going home on a liberty ship. I was looking forward to a better class of a ship but I really did not care. Soon we would back in the States. As we were pulling out from the dock the drizzle started to come down and wind started to pick up. I thought thank God, I will not have to put up with this any more.
Think of the worst rain you have ever been in, also the worst snow storm, the coldest place, the hardest sleet the biggest hail and the thickest fog. Then what you do is multiply this by four and you have the Aleutian Islands. I think that when God was creating the earth he forgot to do anything for this place. In Spanish they have a saying that fits these Islands to a tee. They call it EL CULO DEL MUNDO. It is hard to translate this into English, so if you know anybody that speaks Spanish ask them to explain it for you.
As usual shortly after we left the dock the usual call came over the speakers, all cooks and bakers report to the galley. The weather on the way home was not to good a little windy and cold. Most of the time all the guy's stayed below decks to stay out of the bad weather and needless to say I spent just about all of my time in the bakery. It was not much of a bakery and we did have a little space to ourselves to prepare the bread and pies and cookies, but we had to use the ovens in the galley to do the baking. We went straight to Seattle Washington and spent two days there and then we left and headed south down the coast. I guess we were at sea 4 or 5 days when they told us that we would be pulling into San Francisco that afternoon.
It was about noontime when we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge. It was quite a site, we were all on deck and all the guys were happy that we were back in the states, but for me this was special. This was my home. This is were I grew up. The first place I saw was Bakers Beach under the golden gate bridge were my brother and I had gone striped bass fishing. On the skyline I could see the Presidio and the Marina Greens, the Palace of Fine Arts, Fisherman's Wharf and also Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill, which was just four short blocks from my home on Columbus Ave.
We dropped anchor about 2:00 PM just off of the ferry building and were told that we would disembark the next morning. We spent most of that night on deck looking at all the lights. We were a happy bunch of guys. Early in the morning we picked up anchor and with the help of a couple of tugboats made our way to Pier 9 which is on the Embarcadero. We all got off the ship and the Red Cross had coffee and doughnuts there for us. If you would lookout from Pier 9 you could see a Street named Broadway as it hit the Embarcadero. If I would walk 5 blocks up Broadway I would be to Columbus Ave. Make a right and go 2 blocks and I would be home. That is how close I was.
While we were on the dock waiting for the trucks to pick us we were told that there was a delay and it would be about an hour before they arrived. There were some pay phones on the dock so I made a call home and got a hold of my sister. Boy was she happy to hear from me! I told I was at Pier 9 and would be leaving for camp Parks in just a short while and would give them a call as soon as we got there. Camps Parks was about 30 miles from San Francisco. It wasn't to long after that the trucks arrived and we were loaded up and of to Camp Parks in the East Bay.
30 Day Leave in San Francisco
We arrived at camp Parks, which is about 50 miles from San Francisco, and taken to our area were we assigned barracks and waited for all of our sea bags to arrive with all of our gear. We were told that we would be getting a 30-day leave within a few days. All of the guys from out of state had to make reservations for train transportation and the lines for the telephones were quite long. I finally got to use one of them and had a long talk with my mom and told her I would be home in just a couple of days. We must have talked for about 20 minutes and the guy's in line behind me were getting a little mad. They kept yelling "Rod get off the phone. If you went outside and yelled loud enough your Mom could hear you."
After a couple of days we finally got our 30 day leaves and for me, I lived so close by it was real easy to get home. Just go down to the highway hitch a ride and I was in Oakland in about a half an hour. At that time they had a train that ran on the Bay Bridge, waited just a couple of minutes on 14th street for the A train and I was in San Francisco in just minutes. It was about 4:00 PM when I got home.
My Mother and father had a boarding house at with about twenty rooms that they rented out but with no food. They also had a restaurant that sat around 100 people that was about three blocks away. My Mom and Dad were not there so after talking to some of the boarders that had been there for years that I knew very well I finally left and started off to the restaurant. You know, it took me about an hour to walk 3 blocks. I ran into so many people that knew my family and every one of them took me into a bar to by me a drink.
When I walked in my Father was behind the bar and they were quite busy. He came out from behind the bar and took me back into the kitchen where my Mother and Sister were working and we sort of had a family reunion in a very busy kitchen. I knew all the waiters and the cooks, it was great to be home. I had dinner and then left and went back home cleaned up and went out to see what trouble I could get into.
I went to all the spots that I used to go to and ran into an old friend Tony Scardino that did not go into the service; he was 4F, punctured eardrums and flat feet. It was around 9:00 and he said that there was a dance at civic auditorium and that that they had a local band that was great. I had my brother's car so we jumped in and took off to the Auditorium. When we went inside you could hear the great music. This was a big band with 4 trumpets, 4 trombones. 4 saxophones, guitar, bass, drummer, and piano.
Tony met a girl he knew so he took off and started to dance. I went around looking for someone that I knew but no such luck. I asked a girl to dance. It was fast music and we started to dance and kept running into each other. It seems that while I was away they had changed the steps that we used to do. It was like I was doing the rumba and she was doing a waltz. I thanked her and sat down to listen to the music.
I guess I was there for about 20 minutes listening to the music when a cute little red head came and asked me why are you not dancing? I told her that they had changed the way we used to do the Jitterbug and that they were doing a different step now. She said "That's no problem. I will show you how to do the whip". After a little bumping into each other I finally got it and started to enjoy it. She was from Oakland and she was there with a couple of girlfriends. She introduced me to them and for the rest of the night I had 3 dancing partners. I guess it was about 2 hours until I ran in to Tony again and introduced him to the girls I had met.
I asked the girls how they were getting back to Oakland and they told us they had taken the A train across the bridge. When the Bay Bridge had opened in 1937 on the lower deck they had trains that crossed the Bay from downtown Oakland to San Francisco and it was easy to cross the bridge without a car.
I asked them if they wanted a ride home and they jumped at the chance. As we were crossing the bridge they said that on Saturdays they had dancing at Sweets Ballroom with really good bands. That's where I spent my Saturdays for the rest of my 30 day leave.
I guess I did not get home until 2 in the morning and did not get up until around noon. That afternoon I went walking around the old neighborhood, North Beach, looking for old friends but they were all gone; all in the service. I ran into Willie Gomez, he was about 2 years older than I was and was also 4F. He filled me in on were all my friends were. I was glad that I had run into him because he gave me a bunch of addresses so I could get in touch with all of them.
Willie also told me that two of my friends that were in the army were stationed at Fort Ord, Coke Infante and Dino Restelli. Fort Ord was about 80 miles south of San Francisco, and they would come up just about every weekend. After the war, Coke war was said to be San Francisco's first hippie. He was sure one hell of a guy and Dino's great fame was that he played Major League baseball with the Chicago White Sox and then got drafted into the Army. It was the next weekend when they both came up on leave and boy did we have a great time. We spent most of it telling each other were we had been. They both were lucky and did not spend anytime overseas. And as it turned out they never did leave the States.
I woke up the next morning and after having breakfast I thought I would take a walk up to Grant Avenue. It was just around the corner from Columbus Avenue. There was a bakery there that made the best sourdough French bread. As I was about halfway there I saw an Army officer coming down Filbert Street. As he got closer I started to salute him and all of a sudden I realized it was Aldo Bini. We had not seen each other since we both went into the service. He was a Second Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps. He had been flying B-17 Bomber in Europe and was on leave. He was going to be reassigned to B-29s as soon as he returned to Texas.
His father ran the bakery that made that sourdough bread so we both went up to the bakery and his father was glad to see me. He would not let me pay for the bread. Aldo and I went down to the bar at corner of Columbus and Filbert, where all the guys used to hang out. We had a couple of beers and he told me about the bombing runs he had taken over Europe. Flak had hit his plane a couple of times and they all made it back with just a few minor injuries. I told him about the time I had spent in the Aleutians. I guess we talked for about 2 hours. He was going back to Texas the next day so we said our goodbyes and wished each other luck. Little did we know that we would be seeing each other again before the war ended.
All the time I spent in the Aleutians I kept telling myself when I get back home the first thing I do I am going out to Sutro Baths and soak in the hot pool. Sutro baths was out at the Cliff House at Playland at the Beach. It was a big place with 5 pools, one big one with a raft in the middle and also a couple of slides. There was also a diving pool with two diving boards and a tower with three levels to dive from. They also had 3 small pools one warm, one a little hotter and the third one hot. After all that time in the snow and fog I really enjoyed just sitting in all that hot water.
I got a phone call from Angelo Lima, he was also a baker in the 510 and lived in San Francisco, and he told me he was getting married and invited me to his wedding. The party after the wedding was at the Saint Francis Hotel. It was quite a party and I enjoyed meeting his wife and their families.

The razor-sharp edge of religious beliefs and national conflict, of shadowy projections and existential anxiety, that characterize Israel and its neighbors, gives rise to a particular blend of archetypal fate and personal destiny, of doubt and conviction, despair and commitment, of collective identity and personal choice. However, I do believe that the essence of my wonderings reach beyond the shores of the eastern Mediterranean or Jewish tradition. I believe the tension between a sense of exile and return, belongingness and estrangement, are universal aspects, certainly in our post-modern world. While Israeli reality provides the external context, the story serves, as well, as a metaphor for the exile and return of the soul, which necessarily is a journey through shadowy valleys.

Hi curvy curlies! I just completed a self-imposed, 21 day, yoga challenge. I decided to encourage myself to breathe, stretch and meditate - daily, without excuse. It was far from easy, but I love how I felt attempting to twist myself into poses my brain couldn't quite fathom. The meditation came easily for me because I was able to empty my mind of any thoughts that did not directly contribute to me holding a position. There is a peaceful, calming space inside of us; I was delighted to spend the last three weeks in mine.
While the benefits of meditating were immediate, the posing profits have been slower to realize, but I am stronger! I am committed to a better me. I want to feel better. I want to look better. I want move better. And man, do I want to sleep better. Yoga is a new friend that I plan on getting to know intimately.

A vulnerability in Mortal Kombat 11 leaves players open to DDoS Attacks.
byMatt Kim
Posted Aug. 7, 2019, 5:28 a.m.
There is a vulnerability in Mortal Kombat 11 that's allowing players to fall victim to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. And malicious players are taking advantage of this vulnerability to climb the Kombat League leaderboards.
Mortal Kombat 11 competitive mode players have been complaining about a player in the ranked mode who's been playing under various usernames and sending DDoS attacks to opponents.
Using names like pa3com, pa4com, and Son-Goku-DZ, this player uses DDoS attacks to force opponents in competitive mode to disconnect from the internet. This player has used these attacks to climb all the way to the Elder God top rank of Mortal Kombat 11's competitive mode.
Hey @NetherRealm @noobde, I quit out of my match with the user known as PA3com in under ten seconds upon seeing his name. Now ten minutes later the internet in my house is still out. Just wanted to let you know he's working fast and viciously.
— Ludi @TFGT 11 (@LudiFGC) August 2, 2019
A DDoS attack essentially overburdens a victim's internet with a massive amount of traffic, causing the victim to get kicked offline. By taking advantage of this vulnerability, pa3com, or one of their many aliases, has been disqualifying opponents from ranked matches without needing to land a single hit.
NetherRealm Studios, the developers behind Mortal Kombat 11, has pledged to "address this situation." Though NetherRealm didn't outline any specific countermeasures, the developers says it intends to use "all options available" to combat the DDoS attacks.
We are aware of numerous DDOS attacks perpetrated by a certain player in the Kombat League. We intend to make use of all options available to us to address this situation. Thank you for your patience!
— NetherRealm Studios (@NetherRealm) August 5, 2019
Meanwhile, the pa3com and pa4com accounts appear to be banned from Mortal Kombat 11, while the Son-Goku-DZ account was last seen climbing through the "God Tier" rank on competitive mode.
Check out our Mortal Kombat 11 and Wiki for more on NetherRealm's latest fighter. There's also a new Mortal Kombat live-action movie in development.

Chinook salmon fishing is still open in the Coos Basin although majority of the fish have move up river to spawn. There is not a wild coho season inside Coos Bay this year so all wild coho must be released but anglers may keep any adipose fin-clipped hatchery coho.
Recreational fishing for bottomfish is closed because the quotas for several species have been reached. This includes the ocean along with bays and estuaries. On Oct. 1, recreational bottomfishing will reopen outside 40 fathoms but for anglers using "longleader" gear only. The daily bag limit for the long-leader fishery has been increased to 10 marine fish but retention of black rockfish, cabezon, lingcod, and other nearshore rockfish (blue, deacon, china, copper, and quillback rockfishes) are not allowed at any depth for the remainder of the 2017 season.

The speakers hail from different backgrounds including history, film, music, journalism, and photography. Presenting analyses of some of the most recent scholarship on slavery and racism, particularly as manifested during the conception, production and distribution of The Birth of a Nation, they examine the films legacy and reverberations today.

Considering Filing for Bankruptcy in Vermont?
There are two main types of consumer bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Although either can relieve you of unwanted debts, they work very differently. An experienced Vermont bankruptcy lawyer can offer you advice on which choice is best for your unique situation, and may be able to offer you bankruptcy alternatives as well. Below, local attorneys explain the basics of both types of bankruptcy and list the exemptions you may be able to use in your case.
Liquidation of non-exempt assets. When you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court appoints a trustee who examines your finances and assets. Vermont bankruptcy laws allow you to automatically keep certain property (see below). Depending on your situation, most or all of your property may be exempt. However, the trustee will liquidate or sell all non-exempt property, and use the money to pay a portion of your outstanding debts.
Wages. All wages if received welfare during the preceding two months to the time you declared bankruptcy.
IRAS and Roth IRAs to $1,283,025.
Veterans' benefits, Social Security, and crime victims' compensation needed for support.
General assistance; aid to blind, aged, and disabled.
Tools of Trade. Tools and books of trade up to $5,000.
Alimony and Child Support. Alimony and child support needed for support.
Life insurance proceeds if insured is not the beneficiary.
Group life or health benefits.
Annuity contract benefits up to $350 per month.
Health benefits up to $200 per month.
Unmatured life insurance contract (but not credit insurance policy).
Wildcard. $400 of any property; plus $7,000, less any amount claimed for clothing, goods, furnishings, appliances, books, musical instruments, animals, crops, motor vehicle, jewelry, tools of trade, and growing crops.
The bankruptcy process can be complex, so if you have questions or concerns about some aspect of Vermont bankruptcy law, then feel free to ask the lawyers. Alternatively, if you need debt relief now, then consult our local listings to find a qualified attorney in your area.

Die Pfarrkirche Sulz im Wienerwald steht im Osten des Kirchweilers Sulz im Wienerwald in der Gemeinde Wienerwald im Bezirk Mödling in Niederösterreich. Die auf das Fest Mariä Namen geweihte römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche, dem Stift Heiligenkreuz inkorporiert, gehört zum Dekanat Heiligenkreuz im Vikariat Unter dem Wienerwald der Erzdiözese Wien. Die Kirche und die Figuren Peter und Paul stehen unter Denkmalschutz ().

Geschichte
Anfangs bestand eine Kapelle nach dem Gelöbnis des Kuhhirten Bartls 1747 mit einem Gnadenbild. Im Gründungsjahr der Pfarre wurde 1783 nach den Plänen des Baumeisters Philipp Schlucker eine Pfarrkirche erbaut. 1996 wurde die Kirche außen und 1994 innen restauriert.

Architektur
Die spätbarocke Saalkirche mit einem eingezogenen flachbogigen Chor hat einen vorgestellten Westturm.

Das Langhaus unter einem Satteldach hat schlichte Fassaden und abgerundete Ecken und Segmentbogenfenster. Der Fassadenturm mit Eckpilastern und Portal trägt einen steilen Pyramidenhelm. Flankierend vom Portal stehen die Figurenbildstöche Peter und Paul aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Im nördlichen Chorwinkel steht ein eingeschoßiger Sakristeianbau aus der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Das Kircheninnere zeigt sich mit einem Langhaus mit einem flachen Spiegelgewölbe. Die westliche Orgelempore steht auf Holzpfeilern. Der Triumphbogen ist flachbogig. Der halbkreisförmige Chor hat ein flaches Stichkappentonnengewölbe.

Ausstattung
Die Einrichtung ist aus der Bauzeit. Der Hochaltar ist ein in die Apsisrundung hineingestellte Pilasterkolonade mit Gebälk, auf dem Gesims mit der Statuengruppe Hl. Dreifaltigkeit, mittig mit dem Hochaltarbild Mariahilf 1748 in einem Strahlenkranzrahmen, seitlich die Figuren Hll. Anna und Joachim, mit einem von Engelsstatuen flankiertem Tabernakel auf einem sarkophagförmigen Altartisch.

Die Seitenaltäre als zwei gleichartige spätbarocke Retabel aus 1765 wurden anfangs von Maria Theresia für die Pfarrkirche Laxenburg in Auftrag gegeben und wurden 1783 hierher übertragen, die Altäre haben große ovale Altarblätter, links Theresa von Avila, rechts die kaiserliche Familie zu Füßen des hl. Franz Regis, mit sarkophagförmigen Altartischen mit eingelassenen Glasschreinen mit den Statuetten links hl. Rochus und rechts hl. Sebastian.

Die Kanzel zeigt Reliefs der Kirchenväter und am Schalldeckel eine Büste hl. Bernhard.

Die Orgel baute Christoph Erler 1816 in einem klassizistischen Gehäuse. Eine Glocke nennt Johann Georg Fielgrader und Johann Caspar Hofbauer 1799.

Berlin. The German Parliament Building is a one of a kind. But like other capitol buildings, it had a dome. Unlike other capitols, it had a huge metal dome, over 150 feet high.
I had to send away for an advance invitation to tour the Reichstag Dome. (Do people who don't plan miss out on these sites?) I was there as the doors opened, but there was still a long line.
I always visit capitol buildings but this was something else again. I highly recommend you get an invitation to see for yourself.
I listened to an audio guide as I walked round and round the winding path around the Dome. It is 55 meters high and environmentally friendly. The building of the Dome was commissioned in 1992 and completed in 1999. It is stationed directly over the Reichstag Building of 1884.

Fla. students rally at state capitol over gun control
By Brendan Farrington, Gary Fineout and Tamara Lush Associated Press,February 21, 2018, 2:38 p.m.
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Florida state Capitol in Tallahassee.(COLIN ABBEY/EPA/Shutterstock)
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Thousands of chanting students, including survivors of the Florida school shooting, rallied at the state Capitol on Wednesday, demanding changes to gun laws and threatening to remove Republicans who refuse to address new gun-control measures.
A week after the massacre that killed 17 people, the students took their message into the gun-friendly halls of power in Tallahassee. The impassioned crowd burst into chants of ''Vote them out.''
Florida lawmakers have rebuffed gun restrictions since the GOP took control of both the governor's office and the Legislature in 1999.
The students received a warm reception, but politicians did not offer specific answers. The students' biggest wish — banning assault-type weapons such as the AR-15, the weapon used by suspect Nikolas Cruz — was taken off the table the previous day in the House.
The students also addressed reporters, offering scathing words for lawmakers.
''We've spoke to only a few legislators, and, try as they might, the most we've gotten out of them is 'We'll keep you in our thoughts. You are so strong. You are so powerful,''' said Delaney Tarr, a senior at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. ''We know what we want. We want gun reform. We want commonsense gun laws. ... We want change.''
She added: ''We've had enough of thoughts and prayers. If you supported us, you would have made a change long ago. So this is to every lawmaker out there: No longer can you take money from the NRA. We are coming after you. We are coming after every single one of you, demanding that you take action.''
The teens split into several groups to talk with lawmakers and other state leaders about gun control, the legislative process, and mental health issues. Some tearfully asked why civilians should be allowed to have weapons such as the one fired in the attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School one week ago.
When Florida's Senate President Joe Negron heard the question, he did not answer directly: ''That's an issue that we're reviewing.'' When another lawmaker said he supported raising the age to buy assault-style weapons to 21 from 18, the students broke into applause.
The Florida Senate opened its session by showing pictures of all 17 victims in the attack.
''There are some really harrowing tales here,'' said Democratic Sen. Lauren Book of Broward County, who helped organize busloads of students who arrived at the Capitol late Tuesday. She stayed overnight with the students in Tallahassee's Civic Center and said they stayed up until 5 a.m., researching, writing and preparing to talk with politicians.
''It has been a very, very difficult, tough night. It's in those quiet moments that the reality of this stuff, without all the noise sets in. In any given moment, there's tears. It's raw and it's there.''
About 100 students from the high school made the 400-mile trip on three buses. They told the 500 students and parents waiting for them that they were fighting to protect all students.
''We're what's making the change. We're going to talk to these politicians. ... We're going to keep pushing until something is done because people are dying and this can't happen anymore,'' said Alfonso Calderon, a 16-year-old junior.
Despite their determination, the students and their supporters are not likely to get what they really want: a ban on AR-15s and similar semi-automatic rifles. Republican lawmakers are talking more seriously about some restrictions, but not a total ban.
Instead, they are discussing treating assault-style rifles more like handguns. That could mean raising the minimum age to purchase the weapon to 21, creating a waiting period and making it more difficult for people who exhibit signs of mental illness to buy weapons even without a diagnosis.
Democrats attempted to get a bill to ban assault rifles and large-capacity magazines heard on the House floor on Tuesday. Republicans, who dominate the chamber, dismissed it.
Scott organized three committees to look at school safety, mental health and gun safety issues. The committees met Tuesday and vowed to make changes. While Scott told reporters several times that ''everything is on the table,'' he did not answer whether his proposal would include any bans on any type of weapons.
Instead, Scott said he is interested in making it harder for people who are temporarily committed to obtain a gun. He also pledged to increase spending on school safety programs and on mental health treatment.
Authorities said Cruz, 19, had a string of run-ins with school authorities that ended with his expulsion. Police were repeatedly called to his house throughout his childhood. His lawyers said there were many warning signs that he was mentally unstable and potentially violent. Yet he legally purchased a semi-automatic rifle.
Diego Pfeiffer, a senior at the high school, was realistic about achieving changes in the law before the Legislature goes home March 9, but he said anything is a good first step.
''The best-case scenario is we move a step forward and that's all we're asking here. We're asking to help save student lives,'' he said. ''Whether it's funding or mental health or gun safety or any of that sort of stuff — I am pro any of that.''

— Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 9, 2019
Star Sports's advertisement campaign "Mauka Mauka" is back for the much-awaited India-versus-Pakistan Cricket World Cup match scheduled for June 16.
Since the match between the arch-rivals falls on the same day as Father's Day, the advertisement features India as the father of Pakistan and Bangladesh. It also shows a funny version of a portrait of England's Queen Elizabeth II (perhaps because the series is being played in England, although the significance of England in the creation of Pakistan from India cannot be ignored). The video has accumulated over a million views on YouTube within a day of its release.
The "Mauka Mauka" series was started by Star Sports during the 2015 Cricket World Cup and was originally designed only for India-Pakistan matches. The first instalment in the series featured a rundown of all the times India and Pakistan clashed at the World Cup, and how the latter always lost.
The response that the advertisement garnered encouraged its makers to expand the series to India's other matches as well.
One of the advertisements in the series in 2015 also featured critically-acclaimed actor Sanjay Mishra as a supporter of India, involved in a rap battle of sorts with the opponents.
The "Mauka Mauka" series also made a comeback before the India-Pakistan match of the 2016 T20 World Cup.

Following that, temperatures will jump to the mid-40s, melting most of what has fallen.
Residents will get a brief reprieve on Tuesday, where the air will be cooler, with highs in the upper 30s.
But then, brace yourselves, starting Tuesday around midnight, another storm pulls into town, similar to the one experienced the previous week.
"It's a longer duration (storm), probably going to be more precipitation," Colbert said. "It will start off as snow, then mix with sleet, then eventually mix with freezing rain and then plain rain at the end."
Colbert said this storm could bring "a few inches of snow" and then some ice on top of it when it finishes up Thursday morning or afternoon.
Ice is expected to accumulate Wednesday, making the snow more difficult to manage.
"I am concerned that there will be more impact," with this storm than with the one expected on Sunday, he said.
As with all weather storms, keep it tuned here at ydr.com and also the YDR Facebook page for the latest information. And stay safe out there.

Having a dependable, reliable pair of shoes that you can reach for day-after-day can present a taxing search for the seasoned style vet or the beginning menswear aficionado alike. Some shoes — like a classic pair of sneakers — are only fit for the warmer months of spring and summer. Other — like durable winter boots — can be a bit too heavy for seasonal wear. But there's one style that's reliably classic and ready to stand up to everything from rugged denim and a henley to slim chinos, a blue Oxford and a navy knit tie. That would be the classic leather chukka boot.
It's a style of ankle boot that's not to be confused with the desert boot (which features a crepe sole), but chukka boots are every bit as wearable as any other pair of shoes in your closet. Even if you thought you had all your four-season footwear needs covered, there's no telling how fair a dependable pair of chukka boots can take you, especially with their more casual open lacing and yet sturdy construction & dressy looks. Grab one or grab all 16 of the best men's chukka boots below — they won't let you down.
