Few artistic movements have made an impact quite like that of Bauhaus. Indeed, the word itself has become a noun, an adjective, and a household name; the mention of Bauhaus immediately conjures up images of tower blocks and typefaces, of bold architectural aesthetics and pared-back furnishings, and a remarkably wide array of design features in possession of the unmistakable Bauhaus idiom. The artists who studied Bauhaus, most notably the founding father of modern art, Wassily Kandinsky, went on to reimagine painting for a new age and create entirely new visual languages with which to reshape culture as we know it. Celebrated Bauhaus architects, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, would spread their influence as far as Chandigarh in India, Chicago, Tel Aviv, and beyond, and traces of Bauhaus style can be seen everywhere from flat-pack furniture to the minimalist aesthetic of today's smartphones. This movement, this school of thought as much as design, became the typeface in which the future was written.
Founded in the German Weimar Republic (1913 - 1933), Bauhaus served to break down the barriers between artistry and craftsmanship, with its sights set on a utopian aim of forging a new industry-spanning aesthetic. Driven by experimentation and collaboration, and bolstered by enduring results and a broad spectrum of opinions and reactions, it set the pattern for the rest of the 20th century and today. Now in its centenary year, and after decades which saw Bauhaus equally scorned and celebrated, misunderstood, cast out, and finally adopted wholeheartedly by the mainstream, its adorers and critics alike are able to cast their eye over a century of influence and innovation. Behind Bauhaus' elegant and simplistic lines, and beneath its stark white exterior, we can uncover a true sense of timelessness which has informed the way we live.
Despite its boldness and insistence on an entirely new order, a clear lineage and heritage which led to Bauhaus' foundation can be traced. Walter Gropius, the Prussian architect behind the creation of the Bauhaus, was insistent on the Bauhaus approach being based on an equal value given to technical knowledge and artistic ability, an approach previously seen in the Jugendstil movement, and the English Arts and Crafts a few decades prior. The Jugendstil, with its youthful approach and the value it placed in high art being used for practical purposes embodied several significant aspects of what would become core tenets of the Bauhaus. Jugendstil artists were known for, among other things, using their collaborative talents to produce everything from architectural designs to stage sets, and from advertisements to more traditional canvases.
Another key movement which formed the bedrock on which the Bauhaus was built was the Wiener Werkstatte. Co-founder Josef Hoffmann, the Austrian ceramicist best known for his iconic monochromatic homewares and eccentric chair designs, demonstrated how the lines are drawn between high art, consumer goods, and industrial design were not as unwavering as was once supposed. One could, if one was on the hunt for the Bauhaus heritage, easily cite his talent and vision as being instrumental in the creation of both the Bauhaus approach and aesthetic in equal measures.

The creation of the Bauhaus as a physical space—and not merely an approach, concept, or aesthetic—was borne of collaboration and the result of a municipal project spearheaded by Gropius in conjunction with the state.The city of Dessau commissioned and supplied the plot of land for the school - the prospect of a new direction, a home-grown design idiom, and a new centre of artistic and technical excellence was clearly more than the local officials could resist.

The school's original aims were to completely break down the boundaries between all artistic disciplines, and to erode the very systems of thought which separate high art from 'craft'. Gropius' founding proclamation was that of "a new building of the future, that will unite every discipline, and which would rise to heaven from the hands of a million workers, as a crystallised symbol of a new faith". His was a concept of the crossover, taken to previously unimagined levels. The Hungarian artist and photographer Moholy-Nagy is a powerful example to consider. As one of the Bauhaus's most celebrated associates, his work seamlessly blends technical brilliance with unhindered and liberated camerawork, traditional sculpture, and conceptual art in ways which were entirely new.

While the success of Gropius' vision is perhaps best known through the modernist architectural idiom borne of Bauhaus design, the artistic heritage of the short-lived school can be found everywhere we look. Indeed, the bold use of line and colour, that unmistakably Bauhaus approach associated with artists and printmakers such as Oskar Schlemmer can be seen at supermarkets, on book covers and grocery packaging, in-car designs, luxury brands, road signs, kitchenware… the list of places in which the Bauhaus spirit of collaboration and the fundamentals of its aesthetic can be found goes on and on.

Bauhaus was always driven by the belief that in order for artistic ability to flourish, technical excellence must always be at its heart. While this belief was certainly vindicated with evidence of such surrounding us at every turn, the original school had its life cut short by the rise of National Socialism in 1930s Germany. World War II may have changed the direction of the Bauhaus ideology, but its value lost none of its value or ability to appeal, influence, and divide opinion. As the 20th century continued, artistic aesthetics and architectural design became increasingly visibly reminiscent of and inspired by the works which the Bauhaus had launched upon the public consciousness, and this trend seemingly lost none of its paces as the 20th century ended and the 21st began.

Perhaps one of the key catalysts of the timeless appeal of the Bauhaus was its becoming a global phenomenon, rather than a European-based approach to art and design. It is almost ironic that attempts to suppress the creative visions of the Bauhaus in 1930s Germany may have led to it becoming the worldwide tour de force we know it as today. Indeed, the latter half of the 1930s saw the vast majority of the original Bauhaus representatives emigrate to the United States, disillusioned by the backwards-looking artistic culture of Germany at the time. It took almost no time at all for their genius to be recognised by artistic communities of New York, and in 1938, the MoMA launched a full Bauhaus exhibition, thus cementing its position as the modernist global movement in art, architecture, and design.

One hundred years on from the founding of perhaps the most influential artistic movement of the 20th century, how are we able to see Bauhaus from a holistic perspective, and with the benefit of hindsight? Undoubtedly, the school and its output created outrage among conservative society at the time.
However, at the end of a century of Bauhaus, we can see that the Bauhaus movement and school was not, as was often claimed, a threat the elegance of its predecessors. Nor is it the manifestation of one small group's vision of modernism. Bauhaus was, is, and continues to be associated with an abundance of creative energies, true courage in conviction, and a movement which valued technical learnable skills as much as it did raw artistic talent. In these senses and more, it has managed to touch every aspect of commercial production and cultural life, and has made its mark on the artistic movements which followed, a variety of industries, and across almost every country on earth. From the smartphones in our pockets, to the art on our walls and the homes and cities in which we reside, we all live in a Bauhaus-inspired world.

Bike trails bill signed
CenterPoint rights of way
The Chron has a brief blurb about Rick Perry signing the bill that will allow the CenterPoint rights of way in Harris County to be used as hike and bike trails. See here for the background, and here for a map of the two big rights of way that are in question; the map is embedded in this post as well. Compare this map to that of the Bayou Greenways, which will also have bike trails built along them in places where they don't currently exist. The bayous run almost entirely east-west, while the CenterPoint rights of way are north-south. It's easy to see the benefit of having them added to the hike and bike trail network, as they will provide connections between trails, all of which will be off-road. It's sweet to finally clear a path for this, as it were, and to do so in a way that didn't require sacrificing all notions of liability. Obviously, there's still a lot of work to be done – we're probably three to five years away from seeing this completed – but this bill was a necessary first step, and the Houston bond referendum that was passed last year will provide an immediate boost. It's a big deal, and another great amenity for the city and the county. Kudos to all for getting it done.

Feeding your soul??? You must be wondering what it could be, especially, people who are newly awakening or into the spiritual world or existence of knowledge or moving towards spiritual growth as a newbie.
Go into the Sunlight, try to feel the connection with mother earth when standing bare-feet, to help you stay grounded, imagine the bright white light of the Sun coming onto you and enveloping you with its bright light all around your Aura, Body, Soul and you are shining with this light from within and outside.
This is the time when you feel oneness with the Holy Divine Light, invoke or remember your deity or God as a divine and say your positive affirmations.
Bring your Focus on being one with this divine light, talk to it, feed positive and new promises with your own self which give you a sense of encouragement, Self-worth, confidence and the divine love of the Universe. Open your heart, be receptive and ready to receive all that comes only from the God, the Divine. Ask for your daily guidance if you are strongly connected, and if you have just started practicing, start with positive affirmation as a daily dose/food to your soul. We need to make sure we do every possible thing to keep our souls active, bright, happy and contended with universal love and blessings.
Remember, who we are and how being in sync with the divine and universal energies can positively impact our lives so much.
Keep feeding your soul with Divine Love, Visualizations of your goals, positive affirmations and Blessings, and guidance from the Divine coming to you. This will help you in growing more as a person, as a soul and moreover, you will start noticing positive changes in your life.
Stay Positive, Healthy and Blessed!

Impact of the inductive FCL on the interrupting characteristics of high-voltage CB's during out-of-phase faults
Hongshun Liu, Qingmin Li, Liang Zou, W.H. Siew
With respect to power systems installed with inductive fault current limiters (FCLs), the impact of an FCL on the out-of-phase fault current level was first analyzed, and thereby a method for determining the critical length of the power transmission tie lines was also given. Based on theoretical analysis and deduction, strict mathematical formulas were obtained to properly describe the relationship between the current limit factor and the recovery voltage of a circuit breaker (CB) as well as the rate of rise of recovery voltage (RRRV). Further, the concrete impacts of an FCL on the maximum and the RRRV of the recovery voltage were analyzed. Regarding out-of-phase faults, a conception of interruption severity as well as its quantitative expression for CBs was introduced, and a formula was established to incorporate the influence from the current limit factor and stray capacitance on the interruption severity of CBs, subsequently followed by detailed investigations. The aforementioned proposed research presents analytical methodology and practical reference for the parameter optimization of the inductive FCL and reliable selection of the interrupting characteristics of the high-voltage CBs.

The Door was Open
(The Story of My Life)
Austin Repath
"My earliest memories are of my mother reading to me
the stories of the saints...."
What people are saying....
"Fell in love with your tale..."
"Your life story touched me deeply. What a vulnerable, deep, clear look at your journey. I'm amazed at how you could gather your life in such a short space and do it in a way that wove it all together so honestly, tenderly, beautifully."
"An authentic story... I could see reflections of my own childhood and youth, feel your anguish in the troubled times, the immense joy of your love for Marilyn... and the dreams of childhood become reality. To live our childhood dreams when we are capable of truly appreciating them, that's real living!!"
"I LOVE IT. It confirms my suspicion that you have become, in a very modern way, a saint and a contemplative. And yes, a priest of the present time (with eternity welcomed in at all the pause-points.) I love the way you have written your journey..."
"This tracing of your life's core trajectory is my absolute favourite of all your writings thus far. I find its tone, structural proportions, contents, narrative voice, and lingering essence is irresistibly You - and thus perfect as a memoir sketch.
Your mastery of intro and conclusion is sublime, adding just the ideal framework for this story of a fine life-lived and vibrantly continuing."
"Just finished reading your piece this morning. Couldn't stop myself from finishing it. It has the great virtue of emotional and intellectual honesty, and that's probably why it flows so well."
The tale has all the hallmarks of a great yet humble journey. Your memoir reminded me of what Gandalf says of Frodo: "He is not half through yet, and to what he will come in the end not even Elrond can foretell. He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can..."

Иоганн Леонгардович Динг (; ) — русский промышленник, владелец шоколадной, кондитерской и макаронной фабрик в Москве. Московский купец 2-й гильдии.

Биография

Родился около 1856 года в Германии. Жил в Гамбурге, переехал в Москву.

В 1883 году в доме Клюгина на Раушской набережной основал в Москве паровую макаронную фабрику (Торговый дом «Динг и Галин»). На ней работало 20 рабочих, выпускавших ежедневно 20—25 пудов макарон. Через несколько лет он скупил заводы конкурентов (Монахов, Кудрявцев) и стал владельцем кондитерских фабрик.

В 1895 году Московский генерал-губернатор великий князь Сергей Александрович подписал документ о выделении Дингу участка земли на окраине города, в Сокольниках — у заболоченных берегов речки Рыбинки.

В 1900 году на территории был отстроен шестиэтажный производственный корпус макаронной фабрики «Товарищества Динга», в 1903 году — здание конторы фабрики в стиле немецкого модерна, которое служило Дингу и его семье также и жильём. (Фабрика сохранилась в XXI веке, получив наименование «Экстра М» и принадлежит фирме De Cecco, а здание конторы стало известным как «Особняк Динга» и признано в России объектом культурного наследия.)

В 1909 году шоколадная фабрика Динга производила «Пасхальные шоколадные яйца с сюрпризом».

В 1913 году Макаронная фабрика Динга в Сокольниках по Второй Рыбинской улице (современная 3-я Рыбинская улица) стала главной в России. Всего на заводах Динга в Москве в начале 1910-х годов работало 900 человек.

В конце 1914 года во время Первой мировой войны (когда начались гонения на немцев — см. германофобия), он продал предприятия Николаю Бландову и уехал из Российской империи.

В справочниках «Вся Москва» за 1914 и 1915 годы И. Л. Динг ещё значился, как владелец собственного дома и фабрикант, а в справочнике за 1916 год он отсутствует.

Дальнейшая судьба неизвестна.

Saints CBs Marshon Lattimore Jersey, Sterling Moore ruled out Sunday at Carolina
Posted on September 27, 2017 Posted by admin Leave a Comment on Saints CBs Marshon Lattimore Jersey, Sterling Moore ruled out Sunday at CarolinaPosted in Pittsburgh Steelers
The Saints' struggling defense could be even worse Sunday against the Panthers.
New Orleans will travel to Carolina without cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore (concussion) and Sterling Moore (chest), the team announced Friday.
Game Youth Jesse Barfield Jersey Lattimore was the Saints' first-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, while Moore surprised as a reliable slot corner last season.
The Saints are currently last in the NFL in yards allowed per game (512.5), and last in passing yards per game at 388.5. Without Lattimore and Moore in the lineup, Carolina should have a field day in front of its home crowd.
Cam Newton is currently questionable to face the Saints, but the struggling quarterback should play and be ready to get his season moving in the right direction.
The Saints will also be without starting offensive tackles Terron Armstead (shoulder) and Zach Strief (knee).
After President Donald Trump criticized NFL players who lodge pregame protests, several players protested during the national anthem in Week 3.
Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver: "I [put my hand over my heart] for the troops and military. People are going to try to misconstrue and depict a different picture than what it really is. I love the military, like I said last year when I took the knee. It is nothing against the military at all. The anthem is different for other people. People say it's unpatriotic to kneel, but it's unpatriotic of the president for not respecting our rights." Evans knelt alongside fellow receiver DeSean Jackson.
DeShone Kizer, Cleveland Browns quarterback: "It's a tragedy in our country that we have to sit here and still have these discussions. I know for a fact that I'm no 'son of a bitch' and I plan on continuing forward and doing whatever I can from my position to promote the equality that's needed in this country." Kizer stood for the anthem.

The Astros and Rangers will play their three-game series this week in St. Petersburg at Tropicana Field instead of in Houston. The Rays decided to do more than just allow the two Texas teams to use their facilities:
All ticket, concessions and parking revenues from this three-game series are being donated to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
Mike Bibby Game Jersey There is still a lot of football to played, but people are really high on the Jaguars after their Week 1 performance. That is the biggest NFL surprise after Week 1. Hopefully the Titans can go down there and bring the Jags expectations back to where they probably should be — as a team that has a really good offense but is going to struggle to score points.
I think for me, watching week one offered this potentially surprising thought: what the hell (was Washington) working on in the preseason to come out so flat against a divisional opponent out of the gates? I was surprised that Kirk had trouble with his accuracy, given he is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in NFL history (still #3 overall … ALL-TIME).
But Fowler looked every bit the part of a No. 3 overall draft pick with his performance in the season opener. He had three tackles, two sacks, one fumble recovery, and a touchdown. It was the best box score a defensive end has had in a long, long time.
Even more surprising — not only is Smith the top QB in the league, but Tom Brady (yes, that Tom Brady) is among the worst (24th out of 30 if you haven't bothered to click the link).

The Los Angeles Rams are trending upward. A rocky first season in L.A. gave way to a 1-0 start in 2017. Last year's worst offensive team exploded for 46 points against the Colts, giving former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff his first win as a starting quarterback and setting the tone for a promising year.
The local fans, however, haven't seemed to notice.
The Rams hosted Washington on Sunday in front of a mostly-empty stadium, casting doubt on whether the City of Angels is a premier market for one NFL franchise, let alone two. The red and white seatbacks of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum were plainly visible throughout the first quarter as a smattering of fans took in the action live.
According to the motion it filed with Mazzant, that was always the plan. The NFL said in its filing that if Mazzant had not issued a decision on its motion by close of business on Thursday, the league would file an appeal with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The NFL filed that motion on Friday morning. Mazzant issued his decision on Monday afternoon.
Elliott's legal team sent a swift response.
"The NFL's latest maneuvering appears to be indicative of a league with an agenda: trying to navigate a public relations crisis rather than focus on fairness and fact finding," the statement read.
Now we wait for the outcome of that appeal. In the meantime, Elliott will keep playing.
Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith Jersey directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives

With the game tied 13-13, Smith threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce at the 6:25 mark of the fourth quarter, and rookie running back Kareem Hunt scored his second touchdown of the game to put the Chiefs in front 27-13 with just over two minutes to play.
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Nelson Agholor with eight seconds to play to put the game over the total.
After opening at Pittsburgh -6, the line climbed as high as Steelers -9.5 on Sunday morning when Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford was ruled out. It wasn't enough for any bettors who stuck with Minnesota and replacement passer Case Keenum, though. Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger threw a pair of touchdown passes, and the Steelers' defense limited the Vikings to 237 total yards.
A notice to eligible players, approved by the judge this year, said that some players had signed contracts with third-party providers for up to 15 percent of their eventual awards. The providers offered to guide players through a claims process they advertised as difficult. In reality, the notice said, none of the steps are complicated, and a court-appointed claims administrator helped players register or file claims free of charge.
Kris Versteeg Authentic Jersey If you exclude a meaningless Week 17 game, since Week 3 of last year the only defenses not to score at least six points against the New York Jets are the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns. During that span of 15 games, teams have averaged 12 fantasy points and scored at least 10 fantasy points in two-thirds of those games. It just doesn't get more obvious than this … grab the Dolphins off the waiver wire immediately. -K.D.

Alex Smith's final preseason as Kansas City's starting quarterback began in the same locale that the Pony Express originated.
Only in his case, the ride has not been nearly as bumpy as the ride experienced by those pioneering mailmen. Thanks to the attitude of Smith's heir apparent, the bumpiness Smith thought could transpire this summer has been absent.
One of the ancillary benefits to the Chiefs holding training camp away from club headquarters is greater opportunity for teammates to connect while on the road. Smith says that bonding has occurred between him and Patrick Mahomes, the big-armed rookie Kansas City drafted in the first round to ultimately take his place.
The 49ers' new management retained Kerley with a three-year contract extension in March but, thanks in part to the preseason performances of younger receivers, eventually decided to release the 28-year-old. Kerley is young and talented enough to be coveted by multiple teams in need of depth at wide reciever.
Game Womens Luke Kuechly Jersey
The Lions released their linebacker in March after he had missed too many starts due to injury in relation to the contract extension he signed in 2015, and the situation with Detroit has turned messy. Questions around the knee on which he had offseason surgery will make it difficult for him to land with a new team in 2017.
A Hall of Fame-caliber career has not outweighed Mangold's age and recent injury history (ankle) in terms of his chances of being signed to a new team after 11 years as the Jets' starting center. Not yet, at least 鈥?he might be an injury away from another gig in the NFL.

Ezekiel Elliott Jersey suspension would 'cause the Cowboys irreparable harm' says team legal filing
Posted on September 16, 2017 Posted by admin Leave a Comment on Ezekiel Elliott Jersey suspension would 'cause the Cowboys irreparable harm' says team legal filingPosted in Pittsburgh Steelers
The Cowboys have filed a strongly worded legal document supporting Ezekiel Elliott in his legal battle against his six-game suspension by the NFL.
ESPN reported Friday that the team has filed a declaration of support for the NFL Players Association's bid to get a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction that would halt Elliott's suspension.
According to ESPN, the declaration filed by team general counsel Jason Cohen says an Elliott suspension would cause the Cowboys irreparable harm. The declaration noted that every practice and game that Elliott misses will hurt our team's chances of having a successful season and making it to the 2017-2018 NFL playoffs and hopefully the Super Bowl.
Kendrys Morales Mens Jersey The petitions state the NFLPA doesn't have the legal standing to seek a temporary restraining order since NFL arbitrator Harold Henderson has not yet ruled whether to uphold the six-game suspension for Elliott.
Henderson's ruling is expected Tuesday but the courtroom saga could be far from over as Elliott and the NFLPA can re-submit their claims of a league-orchestrated conspiracy especially after NFL lead investigator Kia Roberts reportedly was silenced for recommending no suspension.
With Cameron Meredith already on injured reserve with torn knee ligaments, the Bears hoped that White would emerge as the club's No. 1 wide receiver.
White finished the game with two receptions for 6 yards on four targets.

J.J. Watt goes to locker room with injured finger vs. Jaguars
Posted on September 14, 2017 Posted by admin Leave a Comment on J.J. Watt goes to locker room with injured finger vs. JaguarsPosted in New York Jets
The Houston Texans got J.J. Watt back Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he missed most of 2016 due to a back injury, but the defensive end suffered a hand injury in his first game back and was taken to the locker room.
Shortly after leaving, the Texans announced Watt was probable to return and he did make his return to the field in the third quarter.
After the game he brushed off the injury, even if it sounds pretty sounds.
But open heart surgery may mean the end of his NFL career.
The serious condition was found by a Saints doctor who performed a physical on Dorenbos. Saints coach Sean Payton said that the diagnosis "basically saved his life."
However, he was released by the team Saturday and Payton said the team is working to rescind the trade due to the pre-existing condition which has prevented him from suiting up for the team.
Dorenbos was a two-time Pro Bowler with the Eagles, but he grabbed headlines last year when his abilities as a magician earned him a third place finish on NBC's America's Got Talent. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and gets back to blowing Jon Gruden's mind with magic.

Elite Levine Toilolo Jersey Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt avoided major damage to his biceps and can return to the lineup as early as Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
We'll leave the light on, coach Mike Tomlin said about Tuitt's availability.
Tomlin said the team is fortunate the injury wasn't worse. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday night the team feared a biceps tear, but that ultimately an MRI would reveal the injury's severity.
Tuitt on Monday privately told some teammates he got good news from that MRI. Defensive end Cam Heyward said the Steelers' defensive line was breathing a sigh of relief that the injury wasn't season-ending.
Elite Jake Long Jersey
Tuitt, who signed a six-year, $61 million extension Saturday, had a quarterback pressure and a tackle for a loss before leaving in the first quarter of Pittsburgh's 21-18 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Tuitt has 109 tackles and 11.5 sacks since being selected in the second round of the 2014 draft.
Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers: More fantasy points! More fantasy points! We fantasy players can be a greedy bunch, especially when we see stat lines like what Brown, the game's best at his position, put forth in Week 1. For the sixth time in his career, he managed at least 10 receptions and 20 PPR fantasy points despite failing to score a touchdown, and five of them have occurred within the past three calendar years. Brown's 29.2 PPR fantasy points were his 18th-best performance in his 102 career NFL games, and they were the second-best performance he has had while failing to score a touchdown (45.6 PPR, 28.6 non-PPR in 2015 Week 9).

Considering his ability to catch the football, I feel like Rodgers is just a much better all-around back than Martin, regardless of the suspension. If not for the suspension, Rodgers probably wouldn't have been afforded another opportunity at this point in his career to show what he could do as a starting running back in the league.
Garrett Grayson Youth Jersey
I am betting that Rodgers will be as motivated as he has ever been, and in the first three games he's going to try to nail down that starting position for at least the rest of this season, if not longer.
DeMario Davis Youth Jersey No matter how Martin plays when he gets back, I expect that Rodgers will still get starter's touches and his production will skyrocket. That's why I chose Jacquizz Rodgers as my choice to be Tampa's breakout player for 2017.
Edelman's impending stint on injured reserve opens up a roster spot for one of the team's many young undrafted wideouts looking for an opportunity to earn their place. Carr was a 2016 first-team All-Big Ten selection who has looked impressive in spurts this preseason.
Lucien knows the team well after spending last season on New England's practice squad. Hollister was a priority undrafted free agent pickup, though he hasn't made much of an impact during preseason games. Maye, for whatever it's worth, is ahead of all three on the team's unofficial depth chart.

The 2017 New England Patriots are the overwhelming favorites across Las Vegas to repeat as Super Bowl champions, but are they better in bookmakers' eyes than the 2007 team?
Elite Chidobe Awuzie Jersey
ESPN spoke with seven Vegas bookmakers and asked them to make a line in a hypothetical matchup between the two teams. Six of the seven had the '07 team favored, with lines ranging from a small favorite (William Hill US) to 11 points (Frank Kunovic at Caesars).
A delicious slab of ribs. You'll get so invested in them at the start, and even when you're getting to the end, you'll still partake, even if it's not as good. That's supposed to relate to the football product on the field from Week 1 to Week 17 — as bad as things can get, fans still stick around to the end.
Mens Quinten Rollins Jersey
Man, if I were a cynic, I could just give a one-word reply: suck. From a football outlook in 2017, Cleveland should be able to run the football better than anyone else. The team had offensive line and quarterback issues in 2016, yet still managed to have the second-best yard per carry average in the NFL. Now, with Cleveland having the highest-paid offensive line in the league and expected to feature a run-heavy offense, there's no rhyme or reason as to why that yards per carry average shouldn't remain among the league's best.

September 19, 2019 Jay Moody	Leave a comment
The internationally touring Irish musical duo The Guinness Brothers have been spreading the craic* from pub to pub and festival to festival over two continents for the past seven years. Consisting of Colm Kelly on vocals, guitar, and harmonica, and Roddy Carreira on vocals, mandolin, banjo, and occasional percussion, The Guinness Brothers really are the life of the party.
Based out of Albufeira, Portugal (though Colm originally hails from Kildare, Ireland), they are consistent performers at Irish Pubs, weddings and events at a nearly non-stop pace throughout Europe and the United States.
I naturally met Colm on his first trip to Pensacola as a performer at McGuire's Irish Pub. Sometime later Roddy came along with him and brought the full Guinness Brothers experience to McGuire's. One of the most immediately noticeable features of a Guinness Brothers show, as well as a Colm Kelly solo performance is that Colm has a natural gift for working a room and amping up a crowd. With Roddy beside him, they create a power team of sarcasm and debauchery that will have any festival ground, reception hall, or bar entertained and actively involved with all the antics they bring with them.
A Guinness Brothers show is more than a musical performance; it really is a party. The boys don't want the audience just sitting and listening as each songs fritters by, but instead in the age-old Irish tradition they want you to be a part of the show, to interact, dance, sing, shout out responses and play along for the fun, or the "craic" as is said in Ireland.
Their sets include a wide variety of musical styles from Irish Traditionals, pop, rock, country and more, all of it delivered in the distinct high energy fashion that is a staple of a Guinness Brothers show. On top of all that, the boys are also known to boldly take requests from the audience. Even if they haven't rehearsed the requested tune before, they're likely to give it a shot anyway, and fake their way through it, all for the craic. It's a bit of game to them, a challenge to which they're eager to rise.
Speaking of games, as an audience member you might find yourself drafted into any number of games such as "left-hand drinking" during which the audience is only allowed to drink with their left hand. If someone is caught drinking with their right hand they'll be called out, asked to stand up and down their drink all in one. This becomes a lot of fun as the audience begins to call each other out as the night goes on, and of course all for the craic.
In 2019 The Guinness Brothers released a live album appropriately titled Live Craic, a twelve song set including Irish favorites such as Whiskey in the Jar, The Wild Rover, and Rocky Road to Dublin as well as classic rock and popular covers like Folsom Prison Blues, Thunderstruck and Take On Me, with a half dozen more.
The album does a great job at capturing the spirit and the vibe the duo produces with Colm's signature fast, percussive acoustic guitar rhythms and Roddy's bright and lighthearted mandolin standing out ontop of the mix. Their rendition of The Wild Rover especially gives a sense of the back and forth banter the two are known for engaging in between and even during songs.
Their interpretation of the traditional reel The Moving Cloud is particularly demonstrative of Roddy's proficiency with playing Celtic melodies. That and his dynamite mandolin lead on Whiskey in the Jar really helps to ground the disk's versatile song selection in the Irish musical tradition from which the duo emerges.
While Live Craic is a good listen its only drawback is that you don't get the full experience of all the antics of a Guinness Brothers live show. How could it? So, the only way to rectify this is to download this album now and make sure you catch the Guinness Brothers live at one of the various venues in which they perform throughout Europe and the United States.
* In case you haven't figured it out by now, "craic" is a traditional Irish word for fun, joviality, or living comedy. It's derives front the same root from which we Americans get the idea of "cracking jokes."

EU to suspend tariffs on Ukraine imports for one year
in World Economy News 27/04/2022
The European Commission proposed on Wednesday a one-year suspension of import duties on all Ukrainian goods not covered by an existing free trade deal to help the country's economy during the war with Russia.
The measures will apply in particular to fruit and vegetables, subject to minimum price requirements, agricultural products facing quotas, and certain industrial goods, tariffs on which were only due to be phased out by the end of 2022.
That phase-out, set out in the 2016 EU-Ukraine free trade agreement, applies to fertilisers, aluminium products and cars.
The European Union will also exempt Ukraine from safeguard measures that limit steel imports, and lift anti-dumping tariffs the EU currently imposes on Ukrainian steel tubes, hot-rolled flat steel products and ironing boards.
The move will now need to be agreed on by the European Parliament and EU governments to come into force.
The European Commission, which oversees trade policy in the 27-nation EU, said the unprecedented measures were designed to alleviate difficulties for Ukrainian producers and exporters in the face of Russia's invasion.
"Since the start of Russia's aggression, the EU has prioritised the importance of keeping Ukraine's economy going – which is crucial both to help it win this war and to get back on its feet post-war," Commission Vice President and Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said.
Last year, bilateral EU-Ukraine trade was more than 52 billion euros ($55 billion), double its level before the 2016 free trade deal.
With Ukrainian shipping via the Black Sea now cut off by the Russian navy, the EU has also moved to help land transport of Ukrainian goods, for example by easing the entry conditions for Ukrainian truck drivers.

For participants in this weekend's Atlantic Boccia Championships, it wasn't just about trying to defeat the competition and come out on the winning side.
"I think what's important to keep in mind is, like my mom tells me, you're playing for fun," said Abby Quigley, 13, of St. John's. "You're not playing for competitive stuff. You're only playing for fun. That's basically what boccia and every sport is about."
The inaugural Atlantic championship was hosted by Easter Seals Newfoundland and Labrador.
Athletes and coaches from Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were on hand for the two-day event, which got underway Saturday morning at the Newfoundland and Labrador Sports Centre in St. John's.

Ares Armor's Rudius 80 Percent 1911: No FFL Required
06/11/12 9:30 PM | by Max Slowik
Ares Armor, the guys behind the phenomenal and innovated EFFIN-A tunable, stackable compensator and major manufacturer of 80 percent AR-15 parts kits is ramping up their latest project, the Rudius 80 percent 1911.
Named for the wooden swords gladiators were given when they were granted their freedom, the Rudius is an 80 percent complete, unassembled parts kit that you can build into a 1911. As-is, the Rudius is not a firearm and can be bought and shipped anywhere in the US. Also, consisting of just parts, you don't need to transfer a Rudius through an FFL, because again, it's not a gun.
You do have to complete it yourself. Ares does offer jigs to help you drill out the material necessary to be able to complete it. To complete this frame all that need be done are the slide rails, barrel seat and the two rear pin holes, thereby making it a firearm. A completely stripped, disassembled firearm, but a firearm nonetheless. And if you're still not convinced that this is legal, you should read this, from the ATF FAQ:
Q: Is it legal to assemble a firearm from commercially available parts kits that can be purchased via internet or shotgun news? For your information, per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a "firearm" as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution.
This does not mean it is legal for a prohibited person to assemble a firearm. Anyone who purchases a Rudius kit must still comply with all other federal and state laws. You also explicitly can't make these guns with the intent of selling them. The Rudius kit is for people who want to know their gun inside and out, and have fun in the process of building it.
The Rudius project isn't quite ready to ship. However, if you pre-order a Rudius now, you'll get it at a significant discount. The frame kits are priced at $100 for pre-order; when they go for sale down the road, that price will be $250. You can also order them with both standard or premium parts kits, featuring Caspian and Wilson parts, which add $600 to $1,500 to the totals. The jigs run $130.
Details about the Rudius frame itself are scarce. They are clearly metal frames with a polymer grip, magwell and trigger guard unit. We hope that the frame is an aluminum alloy as that would be easier for most people to do the finishing machining on. It would also make this a nice and light 1911, suitable for concealed-carry, particularly if the grip is as slender as it looks on video.
Ares Armor expects to ship these kits in the next three to six months.

Q: C++ compiler giving same memory location to two variables Following is the code where I have defined a structure with four variables. First two are arrays with 3 elements each. Other two variables are scalars. I tried using vc++, g++ and an online compiler to compile this code. However, for all three cases, the memory address of the last element of 'vel' array and the address of the variable 'kinetic' turns out to be same. Here is the code.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

struct molec
{
    double pos[3] = {0,0,0},vel[3] = {0,0,0},kinetic = 0,potential = 0;
};

int main()
{
    const int n = 5;
    molec particle[5];

    for (int i = 0; i<n; ++i)
    {
        cout << "Particle no: " << i+1 << endl;
        cout << "Coordinates: [ " << &(particle[i].pos[1]) << ", " << &(particle[i].pos[2]) << ", " << &(particle[i].pos[3]) << "]" << endl;
        cout << "Velocities: [ " << &(particle[i].vel[1]) << ", " << &(particle[i].vel[2]) << ", " << &(particle[i].vel[3]) << "]" << endl;
        cout << "Kinetic energy: " << &(particle[i].kinetic) << endl;
        cout << "Potential energy: " << &(particle[i].potential) << endl;
        cout << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Here is the output I got when I compiled it using vc++

Can anyone confirm that this problem is for sure repeatable? If yes, what is the problem or why this would happen?
Thanks in advance.

A: Your vel array has only three entries. But you print out the address of the fourth entry. It's not surprising that that happens to be the same address as the next object in the structure. Change vel to have four entries or print out the address of the third entry and your problem will go away.
vel[0] <- first entry
vel[1] <- second entry
vel[2] <- third entry
vel[3] <- fourth entry

This has been the best experience we have had in dealing with any local business. And obviously a big investment so it was something my wife and I wanted but were suspect about. No regrets whatsoever. Peeler pools with Raymond and Alice (Shawn and Chad as well) have been top notch. Perfect in communication, excellent on timing and incredibly efficient with the sub contractors. A well oiled machine. Above all the work is second to none. I highly recommend Peeler Polls to anyone reading this or contemplating installing a pool or looking at other companies as well. Thank you Raymond and Alice!


Mascara is the push-up bra of the makeup world: It lifts and enhances our lashes and is an essential step in our glam routine. Thankfully, the product's popularity means there are countless tubes to choose from. For example, Ulta's website lists over 375 options, while Sephora boasts precisely 284. Translation: Picking one isn't as straightforward as it seems. Want length without clumps, a maximum curl, and a waterproof formulation? You have hundreds of options to pick from — at least.
For me, I look for dramatic length first, with volume a close second. Seems reasonable and doable, right? You'd think, especially considering there are so many tubes flooding the market. But I've sampled dozens upon dozens of mascaras over the years, from drugstore to luxury, but have yet to find The One. I end up using a tube for a month or two, but rarely replace it. What can I say? My lashes have commitment issues.
After surveying friends and colleagues, I found that mascara fatigue was actually quite common, and very few people I spoke with had actually found their holy grail tube. So in the name of lash commitment, I put 11 mascaras to the test — and my favorites might actually shock you.
For a breakdown of every formula I tried, complete with before and after lash shots, click ahead. Here's hoping this bring you one step closer to finding your mascara soulmate.

Slots / Florida Nurse Hits a Slot Jackpot, Winning $112K
Florida Nurse Hits a Slot Jackpot, Winning $112K
A 50-year-old nurse from Spring Hill Hernando Country, Florida, recently won a $112K 2022 BMW X7 M50i after playing a Double Hit progressive slot at a Tampa casino situated in Seminole Hard Rock Hotel. Duane Kelloway is among the professionals who have been taking care of Covid-19 patients at St. Joseph's Hospital-North in Lutz.
The Tampa casino has paid over $1 billion to 43,000 lucky winners of 360,000 jackpots this year. It means the casino's progressive slots record a jackpot winner in almost every minute. In celebration of this milestone, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Derrick Dewan Brooks graced the occasion to surprise the recent winner, Mr. Kelloway.
Pure luck/preparation meets a slots opportunity
In his first TV interview, Duane Kelloway stated that the news about his winning was so astonishing that he thought he would faint. He remarked it was by sheer luck that he managed to be at the right casino, playing the right slot machine at the right time. He considers the luxury SUV as a timely gift, given that his 2013 Ford Taurus has crossed almost 200,000 in mileage.
Kelloway claimed that his wife, who's a nurse too, contributed to his success. "My initial plan was to play a slot machine at the casino on Friday, but my wife convinced me to wait just one more day," he asserted. On that particular Saturday, a total of 1,100 players wagered on progressive slots within 15 minutes after the $1 billion milestone was announced; they received a $100 free play bonus.
Good news for casino players
Steve Bonner, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel president, noted that it is a thrilling moment for casino players and gamers alike. He assured Tampa players that more jackpots are being created, and another $1 billion is expected to be paid out before 2021 ends.
Aside from dining, the resort hotel and casino is recognized for world-class entertainment, gaming, and first-rate hospitality. It offers about 180 table games, an avant-garde poker room, and 5,000 slots machines.
How progressive Jackpots work
A progressive jackpot is a special payout that builds over time as long as the players carry on with a particular game. The winning is released randomly, and the longer the jackpot remains unclaimed, the bigger it becomes. Progressive jackpots are available for many casino games, but they are most common in slots.
The slot machine takes a certain percentage of the money for every bet wagered and puts it aside for the jackpot. The final amount can be anything from thousands to millions of dollars. Progressive slots are available in land-based casinos (e.g., where Duane Kelloway played) and online casinos.
The latest video slots featuring multiple pay lines are more likely to be part of progressive jackpots. Such games also provide bonus rounds. But most of them require the player to place a maximum bet to qualify for the draw. Once a player hits the expected combination or hand, they win the jackpot only if they wagered the right amount. It is imperative to understand the wagering requirements before playing a progressive slot.

Week 7 NFL lines and odds, Seahawks vs. 49ers: Seattle 7-point underdogs
The Seahawks are 7-point underdogs heading into their clash with their NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers on Thursday.

Share All sharing options for: Week 7 NFL lines and odds, Seahawks vs. 49ers: Seattle 7-point underdogs
Streeter Lecka
The Seattle Seahawks have a chance to claim at least a tie for the NFC West lead with a win over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, but they'll have their work cut out for them as they're currently 7-point underdogs, according to Oddsshark.com.
The over/under for Thursday night's battle is currently set at 38, according to SB Nation's NFL odds. The 49ers, fueled by the league's top rushing attack (176.8 yards per game), are averaging 25.3 points per game, while the Seahawks' sputtering-but-improving offense is averaging 18.3 points per game. Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson showed signs of being able to throw the deep ball in Week 6, finishing with 293 yards and three touchdowns as Seattle knocked off the New England Patriots in an upset.
The 49ers are coming off of a disappointing 26-3 loss to the New York Giants in Week 6.
Kickoff for Thursday night's game at Candlestick Park is scheduled for 5:20 p.m. PT, and the game will be televised on the NFL Network.


The auto-bicycle accident occurred when a 27-year-old man struck the bicycle that pulled into his path ridden by the 46-year-old man who was seriously injured. The motorist then drove away without checking on the bicyclist or reporting the incident. According to reports, the bicycle was found about 150 feet away from where the man was found lying on the ground with his shoe and a license plate found nearby as well.
The driver of the vehicle was later charged with a hit-skip accident and has been ordered to serve four years in prison due to a probation violation. He is also still currently facing charges on failure to stop after an accident with a pedestrian. In an odd twist, the bicyclist was also found to have imbibed more that the legal limit of alcohol and should not have been on the bicycle.
The odd circumstances of this incident demonstrate the care in which all must take when operating a vehicle, whether a bicycle or a car. While both of these individuals were negligent in one form or another, often times, it is the negligence of another that causes an accident. If you have been injured due to another's negligence while driving or cycling, please contact a personal injury attorney who can help you sort through the legal options available to your situation.

Our 5 favorite vampires of all time
We're in the homestretch! Less than one week until The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 graces the big screen. We know it's hard to believe, Twi-hards, but there were some pretty famous vampires before Edward made it to Forks.
To give credit where credit is due, here's a list of our favorite dudes who sucked blood before it was cool.
Count von Count Though Edward's clan's got that vegetarian thing going for them, Count von Count's figured out how to stay alive without eating anything at all! This vamp gets a kick out of counting—to the point where he annoys the other Muppets. The Count even loves to be outside. Betcha wish you could do that, Edward!
Count Chocula Count Chocula's a vampire who hearts breakfast. And his cereal was the first chocolate-flavored cereal with chocolate-flavored marshmallow bits. You can still buy Count Chocula cereal around Halloween in grocery stores!
Dracula Made famous in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Drac, arguably, inspired all modern vampire stories. The book tells the story of how Count Dracula tries to move from Transylvania to England and how Professor Abraham van Helsing and his followers will do everything to stop him. For the vampire-obsessed, it's a must read.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Buffy first hit the silver screen in 1993 as a cheerleader who loved to spend time with her friends. When a man named Merrick tells her that she's a Slayer (a girl whose superhuman powers allows her to slay vampires) Buffy writes him off as totally cray-cray until her friend Oliver's best friend becomes a vampire. When Buffy saves Oliver from his undead bestie, the two fall in love, and Oliver and Buffy work together to fight against the vampire king Lothos during the senior dance.
Stefan Salvatore and Damon Salvatore Don't you wish you were as lucky as Nina Doborev? In The Vampire Diaries, her character, Elena, gets close to the hottie vampire brothers when she moves in with her aunt in Mystic Falls, Virginia. Note to self: Mapquest directions to Mystic Falls for a future road trip….
Don't forget! The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 lands in theaters next Friday, Nov. 18.

Have you considered writing to Randy Dorn, our new State Superintendent of Schools regarding this? I wish you the best of luck & keep fighting.
Wow! I thought there would be a better response than that from the OSPI. I'm sorry they were no help.
I also spoke to every parent I could about how bad the WASL was, I don't know how much impact I had, but I do know they listened.
I'm sorry the teacher involved quit, but I'm glad he had the courage to do so. It's a sad day when good teachers quit because of rotten bureaucracy.
I ran into a similiar bully in the classroom while I was in Washington. Harrison could have a job in my state anytime. It makes me sick to hear stories like this.
Your administrators don't understand that their is more to the WASL than getting right answers. Middle school is particularly vulnurable. Spokane parents fought against the math and science programs in their community and now they face more wrath. Don't pass your levys and throw out the idiots on your schoolboard.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Flavia Pennetta moved into the semifinals of the Mercury Insurance Open with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over second-seeded Samantha Stosur on Friday.
All three of the tournament's top seeds have been eliminated.
Pennetta took control with consistent and accurate groundstrokes, along with a more effective serve. She had 19 winners compared to 12 for her Australian opponent.
Pennetta, the No. 5 seed from Italy, will meet Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semifinals. The unseeded Kuznetsova ended the run of local teenager CoCo Vandeweghe 7-5, 6-2.
In a match of unseeded players, Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova eliminated Alisa Kleybanova of Russia, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 to reach the semifinals. Hantuchova will play No. 4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who won the last nine games to rout seventh-seeded Shahar Peer of Israel, 6-2, 6-0 in a Friday night match.
Pennetta has beaten Stosur, ranked No. 5 in the world, in their three career meetings—including twice this year.
Stosur, the French Open runner-up this year, didn't record an ace and had five double-faults. Stosur is considered to be the second-best server behind No. 1 ranked Serena Williams. Pennetta had eight aces and one double-fault.
Pennetta has 13 career wins over a top 10 player, but it was her first since the 2009 US Open.
Vandeweghe, the 18-year-old player who grew up about 10 miles from the tournament location, seemed to carry the momentum she had from Thursday night's three-set upset win over Wimbledon finalist Vera Zvonareva.
Vandeweghe, who had to win three matches in the qualifying tournament to get into the main draw, took a 5-2 lead in the first set against the struggling Kuznetsova.
"I thought early on I was kind of beating her with my pace and the heaviness of the ball," she said.
But the two-time Grand Slam titlist turned it around when she saved one set point in the eighth game. Kuznetsova won five consecutive games to take the set.
At 1-all in the second set, Kuznetsova rolled through four straight games to go ahead 5-1. The Russian finally put away the 205th-ranked Vandeweghe on her third match point in the eighth game.
Vandeweghe is the niece of former NBA star Kiki Vandeweghe, who also served as the New Jersey Nets' general manager and coach. Her grandfather, Ernie, played for the New York Knicks in the 1950s.


I first started yoga 2 years ago, after hearing a number of my friends talk about the amazing feeling they got after doing "hot yoga". I decided to give it a try and purchased a one week unlimited pass. I wasn't sure what to expect, or if I would be able to handle the heat, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first class and decided that this was definitely something I wanted to continue to do. Since then, I have tried classes at a few different studios, but still never really made it a regular part of my routine.
One of my goals for 2010 is to establish a regular yoga practice. I love that yoga causes you to quiet your mind because your focus is on the poses you are doing. For that hour class, my "stressful" day at work or anything else weighing on my mind, doesn't exist. I also like the way my body feels after I do yoga, whether I'm doing it at home, or in the sweat inducing hot yoga studio.
I will keep you posted on my progress, so far I have managed to do 3 days a week of yoga at home, and I have now purchased a pass at a local yoga studio to add some variety to my practice. Working out at home is great, but I do enjoy practicing in a group and getting help/correction on the postures.

International Group Wants All New Fossil-Fuel Projects Stopped
Abby Smith and Josh Siegel report for the Washington Examiner on the latest sweeping pronouncement from an international group worried about climate change.
The world must immediately stop investing in new oil and gas projects in order to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, the International Energy Agency said in a new report.
The Paris-based forecasting group said the globe only has a "narrow" opportunity to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, a target that scientists say must be met in order to avoid the worst consequences of global warming.
The new report underscores the huge challenges facing the Biden administration, which has promised aggressive action this decade to cut U.S. emissions in half by 2030, a level necessary to put the country on track to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Net-zero means countries would stop adding any new emissions to the atmosphere.
The United States and other large countries that have made net-zero commitments account for around 70% of global carbon emissions, but those pledges are nowhere near enough for the world to hold global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, the goal of the Paris Agreement.
"Moving the world onto that pathway requires strong and credible policy actions from governments, underpinned by much greater international cooperation," said IEA Director Fatih Birol, who said the goal remains "achievable" if it follows a path laid out by his agency.
Here are some actions the world must take to keep pace, the IEA said:
The world's least efficient coal plants would need to be phased out by 2030, and any remaining plants in use by 2040 would have to be equipped with carbon capture technology.
No new oil and natural gas fields can be approved for development.
Automakers could not sell new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035, while electric vehicles would have to increase from around 5% of global car sales to more than 60% by 2030.
Across the economy, fossil fuels supply almost four-fifths of total energy supply today, but that would have to fall to just over one-fifth by 2050.

Criminal Justice Charity | Family Support | Prisoner Support
'Offering a Helping Hand' to Families of People Sentenced to IPP
Dr Harry Annison
University of Southamption Law School
We have all been struggling under conditions of 'lockdown' since mid-March. But this can in no way compare to the conditions faced by prisoners in England and Wales, where near 24- hour lockdown and very little (if any) contact with the outside world has become the norm.
There are particular anxieties faced by people serving Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) and other indeterminate sentences, whose progression and release is heavily reliant on engagement with training programmes and demonstrating in other ways efforts to lower their risk. All of this is made difficult, if not impossible, in the current circumstances. These difficulties also impact on families and friends.
For several years now, I have been conducting research on the experiences and needs of families of people sentenced to IPP. I have drawn on this collaborative work with families in order to advise stakeholders on specific actions that would help. First, to help families cope with the particular challenges of the IPP sentence. And second, to help people sentenced to IPP, and their families and others providing support to them, to achieve release and to manage the difficulties of life post-release and under licence.
In support of these goals, we – Spurgeons Children's Charity, with Southampton University – have recently published a booklet 'Offering a Helping Hand', which is designed to support families of people sentenced to IPP, and those working with them. It has been developed to complement publications targeted at families of prisoners that have been, or soon will be, published by organizations including the Parole Board and HM Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS).
In particular, the booklet:
Reflects on the feelings that families of people serving IPP may be experiencing
Provides links and information about a number of relevant issues and processes
Identifies more general sources of information that might be particularly helpful
And identifies other ways in which families can get involved, and obtain support
Especially in the dramatically altered COVID-19 landscape, it is essential that criminal justice organisations recognise the particular needs of both people serving IPP sentences (including in the community) and the families and friends who provide support to them. We hope that this booklet contributes to this goal.
The booklet is available at https://www.spurgeons.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Offering-a-helping-hand.pdf
To request printed copies, please contact Samantha Williams at [email protected]
If you use the booklet and find it useful, or have other comments, we would be interested to hear from you. Please contact Dr Harry Annison at [email protected]

Twelfth Night can be considered a model Shakespearean comedy in that it employs nearly every feature of the genre: a wedding, mistaken identities, misunderstandings, physical comedy, and a happy ending. Like all of Shakespeare's comedies, the play ends with a wedding – in this case, the joint wedding of two sets of lovers: Olivia and Sebastian, and Viola and Orsino. Also as in many other comedies, the lovers are initially kept apart through misunderstandings, which lead to plot complications. Olivia falls in love with Cesario, (who is really Viola in drag,) but Viola can't return Olivia's love. Similarly, Viola falls in love with Orsino, who, believing Viola is Cesario, refuses to return her love. Only once true identities are revealed can the lovers unite with their appropriate partners. In addition to the preposterous plot, cross-dressing, and misunderstandings, the play abounds in silliness. While the main characters are pursuing the wrong partners, the Fool, Sir Toby Belch and Sir Andrew provide plenty of comic relief in the form of ridiculous rhymes, songs, double entendre, and antics.
Within all the silliness, however, Twelfth Night offers an exploration of desire as a fickle, overriding force of nature strong enough to overturn the social order. Shakespearean comedies often take place in societies where the social order is out of whack. In Twelfth Night, erotic desire wreaks havoc on the flimsy structures society has put in place. Under normal circumstances, the noble-born Olivia should not fall in love with a servant like Cesario, who (in disguise at least) occupies a lower social position. Likewise, Duke Orsino, who is pining for Olivia, should not feel an erotic pull toward Viola while she is masquerading as a boy servant. The speed and ease with which lovers shift from one object of desire to another (Orsino loves Olivia but then switches to Viola; Olivia has sworn off love to mourn her brother's death but then quickly decides she loves Cesario; later she switches to Sebastian) underscores the erratic and all-consuming character of erotic yearning. In the play, desire hops about from person to person with little regard for social status, gender, or other limits that civil society has deemed important.
At the same time, while the play concludes in a happy tone for its noble-born, heterosexual characters, palpable notes of discord remain for others. Malvolio and Antonio are two such unfortunates, left unpaired by the play's conclusion. Malvolio has failed to win Olivia's heart because of his lower social status and his humorless Puritanism, while Antonio's feelings for Sebastian, which can be read as possibly homoerotic in nature, remain unsatisfied. Feste the Fool's final song adds another dash of bitterness to what should be a cheerful end. While we are asked to rejoice at the imminent marriages of the central characters, Feste's song reminds us that marriage is difficult, long, and sometimes fails to bring about happiness: "But when I came, alas! to wive/…By swaggering could I never thrive" (V.i.). These departures from a more conventional finale are like a gentle wake-up call, rousing us from pleasant dreams and sending us back into the real world, where love (and the foolishness it engenders) is not always so harmless.
