A sharp relative-error bound for the Helmholtz h-FEM at high frequency
D. Lafontaine, E. A. Spence*, J. Wunsch
For the h-finite-element method (h-FEM) applied to the Helmholtz equation, the question of how quickly the meshwidth h must decrease with the frequency k to maintain accuracy as k increases has been studied since the mid 80's. Nevertheless, there still do not exist in the literature any k-explicit bounds on the relative error of the FEM solution (the measure of the FEM error most often used in practical applications), apart from in one dimension. The main result of this paper is the sharp result that, for the lowest fixed-order conforming FEM (with polynomial degree, p, equal to one), the condition "h2k3 sufficiently small" is sufficient for the relative error of the FEM solution in 2 or 3 dimensions to be controllably small (independent of k) for scattering of a plane wave by a nontrapping obstacle and/or a nontrapping inhomogeneous medium. We also prove relative-error bounds on the FEM solution for arbitrary fixed-order methods applied to scattering by a nontrapping obstacle, but these bounds are not sharp for p≥ 2. A key ingredient in our proofs is a result describing the oscillatory behaviour of the solution of the plane-wave scattering problem, which we prove using semiclassical defect measures.

Windsor's Market Cross House is one of our most photographed buildings.
The current oak-framed building suffers from a distinct lean. It replaced an earlier building (1592) that was demolished in 1687 to allow for the building of the Guildhall next door However there was a land dispute and eventually the new Market Cross was "rebuilt" in 1718 on or very close to its original location.
The original building was rented by a butcher, which makes perfect sense as the area was once the shambles (the meat market) for Windsor.
Over the years the building has been used for many purposes. Jewellers, brewers, printers (1931), architects, fruit sellers, coal merchants, florists (1933 and again in the 1960s) and many others have run businesses from Market Cross House.
In the late Victorian Era it was known as the Royal Standard beer shop as evidenced by an oil painting on display in the Guildhall next door.
Market Cross House sits on the corner of High Street and Queen Charlotte Street, the latter being itself one of Windsor's attractions; being listed as the shortest street in the country.
However, we have not yet addressed the crooked aspect of the building. There seem to be two conflicting suggestions. The general belief is that was built using poorly chosen, unseasoned oak and shortly after construction began to warp into a distinctly crooked appearance that has become it's defining feature.
Another suggestion is that the lean only appeared after adjoining buildings were demolished in the late 1820s.
It may also be interesting to note that there is very little of a lean on show in the aforementioned painting of Market Cross House in its guise of The Royal Standard.
According to local sources (sorry no verification as yet) somewhere between the 1970s and 1990s hidden steel supports were inserted to ensure future stability of the building.
In January 2015 the tea shop that had been in operation on the site closed down. According to the Royal Borough Observer newspaper, the Freeholder (Mrs Molly Cowan) posted a notice in the window stating that the Leaseholder (Coronet Ltd) had forfeited the lease. Mrs Cowan used to run an antiques business from the building in the 1980s before leasing it to the tea shop owners.
In October 2016 the doors were finally opened to the public once more as Market Cross House changed useage once again. It is now a business selling pearl Jewellery.
There are plenty of books and websites that tell stories of a tunnel which runs from the basement of the Crooked House into Windsor Castle and was used by Charles II and Nell Gwynn for secret trysts.


With her breakout performance in WarGames, Ally Sheedy came to nationwide fame. The movie touched a national chord as it raised the issue of computer-aided nuclear war. Sheedy enjoyed a string of hits in the 80s including, The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire.

How close is Ohio to reaching herd immunity?
By Chase Sladen On May 6, 2021
Currently, 33.3% of the Ohio population is fully vaccinated, which means we are halfway to national herd immunity.
TOLEDO, Ohio – As we return to a sense of normal, things are still different, and that's because we haven't achieved "herd immunity."
"It's no longer on the fence, it just shouldn't be. There is a lot of data. We know that people who are vaccinated are unlikely to be hospitalized and have a serious illness," said Dr. Jennifer Hanrahan, an Infectious Disease Expert with UTMC.
As health professionals continue to press for the safety and importance of the COVID-19 vaccine, some are still reluctant, making it harder to achieve herd immunity.
"Herd immunity is where enough people are vaccinated. The virus really isn't transmitted much at all. It goes away to the point where we don't have to worry about it anymore," said Dr. Kevin Casey, Chief Clinical Officer at Mercy Health Toledo.
While health experts believe we will achieve herd immunity in around 70% of the vaccinated population, they have achieved around 60% success in other countries.
At this point in time, it is a major concern of health officials to convince younger people to get the vaccine as these are the people currently being hospitalized.
"What we're seeing now is younger people who are just getting infected and it's younger people who are dying," Casey said.
The FDA is expected to approve the Pfizer vaccine for people ages 12-15 as early as next week, which could increase the number of vaccines.
RELATED: The FDA could approve the Pfizer vaccine for 12 to 15 years by next week
Currently, Pfizer is the only one of the three approved vaccines in the United States that is approved for people aged 16 and over. Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are for people aged 18 and over.
With the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine available again, the vaccine numbers could grow a little faster, according to Casey.

Box has always been about collaboration, but collaborating on Office files edited in local apps and synced through the cloud seems rather yesterday. Google Docs (and its reincarnation in Google Drive) already leaped past that years ago, with virtual documents that are cloud-first. Box already had a basic app for editing Office-type documents online, but it faced the same problem that Google Docs, Zoho Docs, and everyone else has always faced: the office web apps are essentially the same old thing — Office, with all its toolbars and file portability issues, only with less features. That's a rather tough sale when everyone in the office already has Word installed on their PCs.
In the mean time, simplified writing apps on the iPad got many of us used to writing in Markdown or with basic rich formatting, and we figured out that we really didn't need all of Word most of the time — or ever, even. This year, that same idea has come to the web, with Draft and Editorially bringing brilliant collaborative Markdown writing to the web, and Quip reinventing rich text collaborative writing with web and mobile focused apps. And now, Box is jumping into the fray with an app that looks like the best of Editorially's commenting and collaboration combined with Quip-styled rich-text editing.
In a move that's again more like it's nimbler upstart competition, Box Notes was unveiled in beta today, and you'll have to signup for an invite at box.com/notes to get access. For that effort, you'll get an app that'll make you want to try Box if you never have really gotten yourself to use it yet. Box Notes is, essentially, a simplified online word processor that's aimed at collaboration. But where Box Notes and the other collaborative writing apps of this year are different is that simplicity is their strength, not their weakness.
After all, it's not designed to make polished documents, but rather as a place to hash out ideas together — or on your own, if you want. It only includes the most basic formatting options because it's not designed for print documents — it's designed for ideas. Those ideas can include basic rich formatting, images, and videos, and can be collaborated on with others in realtime or with simple comments on any text you want. That's the tools we need in today's work. It's almost Evernote's proposition, with the added lure of rich collaboration. Box can keep all of your legacy documents, but also enable you to collaborate in a new way going forward.
Will the old Box be relegated to history?
That's what makes the most sense, really, when you think about it. Traditional documents are far too bulky, and we've already seen that collaboration around them is always hacky at best. So instead of waiting for us to quit syncing files — and thus bypass Box, Dropbox, and every other traditional file sync service — the Box team is making their own apps that make the most sense in the post-file world.
For now, go signup for the Box Notes beta or try out Quip, Editorially, and Draft. They're all a shot at replacing Office, not by matching its features, but by reinventing how we work. It's sure an exciting time for productivity apps — and a terrible time to be Microsoft Office.

Ned Danieley has been dojo-cho of Triangle Aikido (Choshinkan Dojo) since its founding in 1986. He started training in Aikido in 1980, and was a direct student of Shihan Fumio Toyoda (Aikido Association of America) from 1993 to 2001. Ned holds the rank of rokudan (sixth-degree black belt) with the Aikikai Hombu.
In addition to his Aikido rank, Ned has first-degree black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Modern Arnis, and also studies Iaido and Jodo. Along with his involvement in the formal martial arts, he has taught several self-defense courses, and has assisted in training police and military personnel in defensive tactics.
Mark Hazelrigg began practicing Aikido way back in the day.
Charlene Reiss began training in Aikido in Greensboro in 1991 before joining Choshinkan in 1995. Charlene is a nonprofit consultant, researcher, volunteer, and parent. Six-attacker randori is her favorite part of Aikido as it's quite a bit less hectic than her everyday life.
Jim Seabolt started his study of Aikido in Raleigh when he was in graduate school for the first time, and now his formerly auburn hair is turning white. He has a Ph.D. in Economics und er spricht ziemlich gut Deutsch.
Lisa Smith-Rice has been practicing Aikido for many years, but not nearly as long as she's been teaching gymnastics. Lisa is the head instructor of Triangle Aikido's Family Class.


We're finally finished with our kitchen remodel. This was a big one. We completely gutted the aging kitchen we had for seventeen years.
Thanks to a five-year-old who liked to swing on cabinet doors, we'd been displaying our mismatched dishes and pantry contents for the world to see for years now. And because of an odd kitchen layout, a sink with dirty dishes was the first thing anyone saw when coming through our front door.
I knew the remodel would be a chaotic inconvenience. Microwaved food on paper plates for at least six weeks. Strangers in our house every day, sledgehammering, dry walling, cranking classic rock and Mexican tunes on the radio and yelling at each other. There would be dust in all our rooms, because there is no place that stuff doesn't reach. My noise-averse husband and son would burrow into their respective hollows, with their headphones on.
That's exactly what it's been like. Some mornings I've walked through the kitchen and reminisced about the semi-darkness of our old kitchen with its flickering 1970s fluorescent light. Was it really that bad?
I'm a writer and an English teacher, so I know a messy middle when I see one. In a story's messy middle, the protagonist has left the land of the ordinary, often reluctantly, and entered into the crazy, hostile world of the extraordinary. Think of Bilbo Baggins leaving the peace of the shire, at the wizard Gandalf's urging, to steal the dwarves' treasure from the dragon.
I like living in the shire. I like tidy, peaceful places that are quiet. I don't like being in messy, in-between states where power and water are turned off and perfectly good dishwashers are accidentally carted off to the dump.
My toddler-sized brain looks at the daily chaos and thinks only, This will last forever.
But like so many transitions we deal with in life, this is not true. Things do resolve, and the reason we human beings love stories so much is, their beginnings, middles and ends are so comforting. We hold on to this cycle for hope. When we are old enough to have gone through enough messy middles, we know in some way, things will change. This too shall pass.
A remodel is not up there on the scale of life changes. It isn't divorce, death of a parent or spouse, or the loss of a career. At least one of those things will come my way soon enough.
This remodel is a light practice run.
The kitchen is looking wonderful, thanks to the contractors who have worked till dusk over the past six weeks. After everyone's packed up at night, I walk on the smooth, new tile floor and think, Is this really my kitchen?
Oh, yeah, that's another thing. I didn't even do the actual work myself. I'm thankful for that, because I'm not a fixer-upper person. The results would not be good.
Here's to life's transitions. And to the good that awaits on the other side.

We believe that when you return home, you should be able to kick back and wind down from your long day. After all, you earned it. But coming home to a messy house can make you anxious, irritable and unable to relax. More than anything, we strive to keep our clients happy and build strong long-lasting relationships with them. The reason we train our Bangkok maids so extensively, run thorough background checks and work hard at maintaining relationships with clients, is because your satisfaction is our number one priority.
To keep our standards high, our quality control managers do regular checks and evaluations on our maid's work performance, skills and personal demeanour. We expect our maids to love your home or office and treat it with the same respect they would treat their own home, and our quality checks ensure that we have only the best maids in Bangkok on our staff.
Because every one of our maids are fully bonded and ensured, we stand behind how trustworthy they are.

Side chair, c. 1780–1800
February 14, 2017 February 21, 2017 | Carpenter Museum
Attleborough-Rehoboth area
Rehoboth Antiquarian Society Original Collection, Gift of William Willet Blanding
This side chair, likely owned by William Blanding (1747–1830) and his wife, Lydia (Ormsbee) Blanding, of Rehoboth, adapts a design created in England and soon embraced in Philadelphia, New York, Newport, and Providence. Prominent features include a rococo scrolled splat, pairs of deep gouges on the ears of the crest, and broad flutes on the front legs, which end in tapered feet. According to furniture scholars, it is uncommon to find a side chair from this period in such excellent condition. It retains its original red stain finish, the pins holding the joints are intact, and the unusual front legs have not been modified. The chair was donated to the Rehoboth Antiquarian Society soon after its formation in 1884 by its first treasurer, William Willett Blanding. A bachelor dairy farmer living at 103 Broad Street, Blanding inherited and preserved many of his prominent family's possessions, including those of his grandfather William Blanding, a Revolutionary War veteran, and his uncle Dr. William Blanding (1773–1857), a well-known physician and naturalist who recorded and described early Rehoboth structures in his 1848 sketchbook of childhood reminiscences. Other gifts by William Willet Blanding include his grandfather's pipe box, a boot jack, a pewter teapot, and his uncle's apothecary balance scale.

Does the idea of cold calling prospects fill you with dread… to the point where you may avoid it at all costs?
You're missing out. Cold calling – over the phone… or better yet, in person – is one of the best ways to find qualified leads and quickly build new relationships.
That's why you need to tune in for this week's Allie & You interview with business owner and professional dancer Jeannette Sermak-Proulx, the owner and director of Plaza Production One Mobile Dance Studio and creator of The My Mobile Dance Studio Online Program.
Jeannette is a dear friend and member of my Pinnacle Global Network. I'm thrilled to have her on the show because she is a master at in-person cold calling. Where most entrepreneurs avoid cold calls, Jeannette has transformed it into a sure-fire way to find new clients.
Tune in to discover her process for turning cold calling into "warm calling" – and why this approach not only produces better results, but is even enjoyable.
Jeannette is also sharing a free guide that reveals her tried-and-true tips for warm calling.
Know any professional dancers (or people with unused dance degrees)? Share this with them, because Jeannette has a special message for them – and a killer idea for making more money as a professional dancer.


Callum Wilson on the road to an England call-up.
Callum Wilson, 26, has had two serious knee-ligament injuries in the past three years, which he has now recovered from. Callum scored two goals against Fulham, giving his team the lead and scoring again in the 85th minute. Howe believes that Wilson is definitely going to be on Gareth Southgate's mind and eventually be rewarded by him. Howe states that as long as Callum continues to play well and keeps scoring, it will only be a matter of time for him to get an England call-up. He believes that Callum is very efficient and he makes the right moves.
Central defender, Nathan Ake, 23, has been influential in helping Bournemouth have a good start the season. The defender insists that he is happy on the south coast, in an attempt to dismiss reports that he is a transfer target for Tottenham and Manchester United.
Fulham's Tim Ream, 31, maintains that manager Slavisa Jokanovic is not responsible for the team's falling behind. He says they are not together as a squad, there is no togetherness and they are not a team at the moment. There is no fight amongst the group, they are just individuals who don't seem like they want to stay in the league. Ream states that until there is unity in the team and everyone steps up, himself included, nothing is going to change. He suggests that the problem isn't with one individual but with the group as a whole.

INDOT Is Ready For Snow, Trucks To Be Out In Force | 95.9 WVIG The Legend - Terre Haute, In.
WEST CENTRAL, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation will have their yellow salt trucks deployed in west central Indiana ahead of the snow arriving tonight. INDOT reminds motorists to be cautious while traveling during this upcoming winter weather.
The forecast is calling for 4-7" of snow to begin around midnight and continue through Sunday morning. The district will have a full call out of their salt trucks deployed as maintenance crews will continue to plow and treat the roadways during this event.
INDOT will continue with a full crew reporting in at noon on Saturday to plow and treat the interstates, U.S. highways and state routes. Each route takes 2-3 hours to complete with salt assisting in melting between passes.
800-261-ROAD (7623) or our INDOT mobile app. County governments post color-coded travel advisories on the Homeland Security website at http://in.gov/dhs/traveladvisory. For regular updates, find links to INDOT's Facebook and Twitter pages at http://bit.ly/INDOTsocial.
Drivers often aren't prepared for winter driving – especially since this is the first major snow so far this winter- and forget to take it slow. The first snow events of the season typically bring higher rates of crashes and slide-offs as motorists get re-accustomed to driving in winter weather.
Reduce speeds. Remember, "ice and snow, take it slow." Nobody should be driving summer interstate speeds in winter weather. Plan plenty of time to reach your destination safely and be patient. Don't put yourself and others in a dangerous situation by being in a rush.
Pay attention. Avoid all distractions and focus only on the task of driving safely. Be aware of your surroundings, drive defensively and be alert for others who are not driving safely.

There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and Dr. Asam can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.

The crunch, followed by the tiny prick. then comes the pain and the fear shooting from under my fingernail up my arm, and lands in my heart like a lightning strike. That banana candy smell spirals from the place where the bee eviscerated herself by plunging her petite harpoon into my skin. The scent wafts into the hive, inspiring the colony to buzz with a harmonious roar, communicating to all that an enemy is near.
I'm washed with adrenaline, regret, anger, and sorrow. Why did I put my finger there? Smashing her body and leaving her with no choice but to make the split second decision to sacrifice herself to warn the others and drive my clumsy hand from their home.
I subdue the smell and the noise with a few light puffs from my smoker. A hollow gray peace offering. The pain subsides as the swelling begins. I blink back tears and move on to the next hive.

Q: WebDriver PageObjects & Large Amounts of Locators Over the past year I built a very nice WebDriver framework for my group. Pretty standard fare: Page classes typically encapsulate the full functionality of a page in on our platform (controls as By objects, methods as needed) & extend a base class with some global methods, multiple pages are invoked within JUnit test classes, typical assertion methods, yada yada. Nothing extravagant-very by the books but very functional and flexible.
Recently, however, I have been asked to use the framework to automate a large number of pages with forms that can hold 100 or even more inputs, selects, options, etc. This is causing me some serious consternation. Moreover, the id's of many of the custom form controls change from environment to environment (luckily they remain static per environment after the initial pushes). Anyway...
Lets look at a typical PageObject structure that I use every day:
/** Constructor*/
public someConstructor(WebDriver driver){
   super(driver, pageTitle);
}

/**Locators*/
By searchBoxLocator = By.id("phSearchInput");
By searchBoxClearLocator = By.id("phSearchClearButton");
By searchButtonLocator = By.cssSelector("input[value='Search']");

/**Some Methods*/
public void selectFromTabBar(String tabName){
   driver.findElement(By.linkText(tabName)).click();
}

public static void enterInputValue(WebDriver driver, By by, String val){

   List<WebElement> elements = null;
   elements = driver.findElements(by);

   if(!elements.isEmpty()){
     driver.findElement(by)).sendKeys(val);
   }else{
     throw new NoSuchElementException("Message");
   }
}

Like I mentioned, nothing exotic here, but now to my question to everyone. Take a situation where I won't have the traditional 5-15 By's per PageObject, but require possibly over 100 for 10's of Pages. Throw in the complication that they will also have unique values per environment, which is totally out of everyones hands and cannot be reconciled. So what is the appropriate approach here...Do I bite the bullet and hard code 100" By's per page, do I externalize all By's to, say, an Excel doc and pull everything in via, I duno, JXL or whatever, or do I hard code By's that I know will be static and throw everything in an external file?
At the end of the day I know there is no right answer, but I'm just curious as to others approach to this. Right now I've externalized the By's for the pages that have so many form elements and define controls that wont change within the PageObject still, but it feels clunky. Perhaps I am striving for too much elegance, but any thoughts would be really fantastic.

A: This is primarily opinion based but interesting question.
My suggestion would be modularize your page.
For example, you have a page with 100 locators, but surely they can't be 100 similar textboxes to let users to fill out. (If so, probably the solution here is to re-design your UI first)
If this 100 elements belong to different components, say 20 elements in top toolbar, 20 elements in list view, 20 elements in a form and 20 in bottom toolbar. Then you might want to create different classes for each of the components.
For example, here is an ordinary page object.
public class FooPage {

    private IWebDriver driver;

    public FooPage(IWebDriver driver) {
         this.driver = driver;
    }

    public IWebElement Element1 {
         get { return driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(".something1")); }
    }

    // ...
    public IWebElement Element100 {
         get { return driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(".something100")); }
    }

    public void AddItem(){
    }

    public void ClearList(){
    }
}

You might separate those elements into different components, for example, FooPageTopToolbar,FooPageList, etc.
public class FooPageTopToolbar {

    private IWebDriver driver;

    public FooPageTopToolbar(IWebDriver driver) {
         this.driver = driver;
    }

    // ...
    public IWebElement ToolbarElement10 {
         get { return driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(".something100")); }
    }

    public void AddItem(){
    }
}

public class FooPageList {

    private IWebDriver driver;

    public FooPageList(IWebDriver driver) {
         this.driver = driver;
    }

    // ...
    public IWebElement ListElement10 {
         get { return driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(".something100")); }
    }

    public void ClearList(){
    }
}

Now your FooPage will look like
public class FooPage {

    private IWebDriver driver;

    public FooPage(IWebDriver driver) {
         this.driver = driver;
    }

    public FooPageTopToolbar {
         get { return new FooPageTopToolbar(driver); }
    }

    // other components as well
    public FooPageList {
         get { return new FooPageList(driver); }
    }
}

Note this is just a demo, you might also consider get inheritance, interfaces and abstraction involved to build your page objects. For example, if TopToolbar is shared by many other pages, then you only need one class for all. If different pages have similar but slightly different toolbars, then create an abstract toolbar class of some kind.
Also, you mentioned you have different locators for different environment, the best solution in my opinion would be to add element identifiers into your source code (by "identifiers", I mean any identifiable parts, maybe HTML id, but most commonly unique class for testing purpose). In this case, you will only need one set of testing locator that are not frequently changed by UI developers.

Just when it appeared there wouldn't be a Mavericks Big Wave Surf competition once again, there's now a glimmer of hope.
PRINCETON-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. (KGO) -- Just when it appeared there wouldn't be a Mavericks big wave surf competition once again, there's now a glimmer of hope.
The commissioner of the World Surf league says swells are developing in the North Pacific that could meet the requirements to hold the event.
Organizers will be closely monitoring the conditions though March 26..
RELATED: Exactly how massive are 50-foot waves at Mavericks?
Waves need to be consistently at a minimum of 25 feet for the competition to get the green light.
If that happens, surfers will get a 24 hour notice.
The window to hold the competition closes on March 31.
The event hasn't been held since Feb. 12, 2016.

Santa Maria della Stella alle Paparelle är en dekonsekrerad kyrkobyggnad i Neapel, helgad åt Jungfru Maria. Kyrkan är belägen vid Via Giuseppe de Blasiis.

Beskrivning
Tillnamnet "Stella" syftar på Jungfru Marie epitet Stella Maris. "Paparelle" åsyftar de ordenssystrar vilka bodde bredvid kyrkan; de var uppkallade efter ordensgrundaren Lucia Paparo.

Fasaden i piperno, en magmatisk bergart, ritades av Giovanni Francesco Mormando (1449–1530) och liknar ett klassiskt tempel med sin krönande tympanon och korintiska pilastrar. Mormandos fasad gav Vignola inspiration till fasaden till Sant'Andrea in Via Flaminia i Rom, ritad år 1554.

The Staging History project began in 2013 with the award of an Oxford-Princeton Collaborative Partnership to Michael Burden (Oxford) and Wendy Heller (Princeton). The initial aim of the project was twofold: firstly, to explore the influence of historical events on the writing and staging of drama – musical drama in particular – in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries; secondly, to investigate the interaction (or lack thereof) between the stages of London and New York, investigating the transfer of dramas, themes, and casts across the Atlantic.
Michael Burden has acted as the Principal Investigator throughout, with Jonathan Hicks as co-investigator. The various groupings, partnerships, and participants are listed below.
The collaborative partnership, supported by the John Fell Fund, was a crucial step at the opening stages of the project. It allowed us to hold a series of four meetings – two in Oxford, two in Princeton – where we discussed the central themes of dramatic historicism and transatlantic theatrical practice. All participants exchanged ideas about key readings in the fields of musicology, theatre history, and performance studies. Building on this existing scholarship, we developed a particular focus on the form and content of early melodrama, which was hugely popular on Anglophone stages during the period of our study. During one meeting we workshopped the interaction of music and text (and, to a lesser extent, gesture) in The Miller and His Men, an 1813 melodrama by Isaac Pocock with a surviving piano score by Henry Bishop (later the Heather Professor of Music at Oxford). Individual participants also presented their own work-in-progress on the social and political contexts of other melodramas, operas, and equestrian spectacles.
If the Oxford-Princeton exchange was necessarily a small affair, with the same group of people engaged in ongoing discussions about a relatively narrow topic, this conference, supported by Eugene Ludwig through the Ludwig Family Charitable Trust, was deliberately much broader and welcomed scholars from a range of disciplines (principally Musicology, Theatre History, English, Art History, and History).
This collection of essays – intended to accompany the exhibition in Phase 4 – examines a number of extraordinary theatrical works in order to cast light on their role in shaping a popular interpretation of historical events. Like the conference mentioned above, the publication of these essays was supported by Eugene Ludwig through the Ludwig Family Charitable Trust. Much of the research contained here began with the Oxford-Princeton exchange, though the material and themes discussed developed over time.
The culmination of the project is a a major exhibition at the new Weston Library exhibition space in Oxford. The exhibition is supported by the Bodleian Library, with loans from other institutions, and brings the topic to life via striking images and engaging interpretive text. Here, visitors are drawn into the immersive worlds of Georgian theatre where historical figures and events were among the most fashionable and controversial subjects of the day.

all the world [wide web]'s a stage
COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS
by Danielle Mohlman
directed by Maureen Monterubio
"He and I have been talking for a few weeks and I know that what he wants more than anything is to be my friend. My best friend. But it's more of a story to tell people you're talking to someone. Because talking is really only talking. It's just words."
W, our guide through Danielle Mohlman's new play, Union Station, isn't so different from you and me. She squeezes onto the Metro every morning and she's fascinated by that giant escalator at the Wheaton station. If I had to guess, she subscribes to BYT, too.
And that's what makes W interesting. She faces that same tension between intimacy and insecurity that you and I deal with daily. We get to observe how she reacts to it and deals with it. We get listen to her struggle with the instinct to say "no." And we get to hear the repercussions of her risks and her barriers. All of those things in a witty and heartfelt play that's less than 10 minutes and downloadable to your phone.
You know, for your own commute.

What is it about food that makes us so indecisive? You know what I'm talking about. It's Friday night and your stomach is caving in on itself, but you and your friends have been stuck in a cycle of "What do you want to eat?" and "Hmm…" for over half an hour.
One likely explanation is that we have too many possible options to choose from, which can lead to analysis paralysis 6 Mind-Blowing TED Talks About Psychology & Human Behavior 6 Mind-Blowing TED Talks About Psychology & Human Behavior The human brain is complex and confusing, which explains why human behavior is so complex and confusing. People have a tendency to act one way when they feel something completely different. Here are a few... Read More . If an objective third party can narrow down your options for you, the decision of where to eat becomes infinitely easier to make.
So if you can't figure out where to eat for whatever reason and you've got an Android device up your sleeve, then you'll want to add these apps to your arsenal ASAP.
Have you ever wondered what happened to Urbanspoon? It used to be the #1 app for finding nearby places to eat at, complete with its spinner feature that was surprisingly effective for discovering new restaurants.
Well, Zomato acquired Urbanspoon in 2015, rendering the Urbanspoon of our memories no longer — which would be bad news if it weren't for the fact that Zomato itself is actually pretty good.
You don't have to create an account to use it. Just launch the app, select your location, and the home screen will provide nearby recommendations. The search feature is adequate, allowing you to filter by rating, distance, cost, popularity, cuisine and type, whether the place has Wi-Fi, live music, outdoor seating, etc. And I've found the ratings to be relatively accurate.
If you loved Urbanspoon, know that Zomato is meant to be a one-for-one replacement. As long as you go into it with that expectation, I think you'll be quite happy with it. I know I am.
OpenTable is a direct competitor to Zomato and, depending on who you ask, is often seen as the better of the two. Not only does it help you to find new places to eat at, but it also includes the ability to reserve a table from right within the app.
No account creation necessary. The search function isn't as advanced as Zomato's, but still good enough to deliver satisfying results 7 Ways to Get Fresh and Healthy Meals Delivered to Your Home 7 Ways to Get Fresh and Healthy Meals Delivered to Your Home A meal delivery service might be just what you need to start enjoying fresh, healthy food. Here are several services that offer a range of customization options. Read More . You can filter nearby listings according to distance, cost, rating, cuisine, and neighborhood.
Each listing includes a digital menu to browse ahead of time (which is usually up-to-date), photos, popular dishes, and a map of how to get there. You'll also see open time slots that you can reserve with a single tap.
Again, it's not as good at finding places as Zomato, but the quick-reserve feature is excellent and some restaurants even allow you to pay for your meal through OpenTable.
EatStreet is the opposite of OpenTable — instead of one-tap reservations, we're talking one-tap deliveries. If you just want to eat at home but you're sick of pizza and you don't know where else will deliver to you, then this app was made for you.
What immediately sticks out to me is that EatStreet listings show delivery charges and minimum order costs up front. They'll also show if a restaurant is takeout-only (which defeats the convenience of delivery, but still fits in with the "I just want to eat at home" crowd).
Individual listing pages include menu items that you can browse, hours of operation, and estimated delivery time. Yelp-sourced user reviews and ratings are also available.
Other nifty features include coupons and deals for participating restaurants, as well as a Group Order feature that splits the bill according to what people ordered — very useful when eating with friends who never seem to pay you back.
GrubHub is the original delivery-ordering app — but just because it came before EatStreet doesn't mean it's necessarily better.
The app's interface is clean and navigable. Listings show restaurant categories, menu items, hours of operation, minimum order costs, delivery fees, estimated delivery times, and user ratings and reviews. Search options are relatively bare but include all the essentials.
My biggest issue with GrubHub is a personal one involving my past experiences with the service. I ordered a meal, was charged for it, hadn't received it after 90 minutes, called in, and found out that the order had gotten lost in the system… and no refund was given.
In short, GrubHub works fine when it works. When something goes awry, customer support is severely lacking. Be aware of that.
Most people have heard of Yelp by now, but we'd be remiss to exclude it from this post. Even though Yelp covers all kinds of businesses in its search, it's particularly good at finding restaurants that you might like.
The biggest "problem" with Yelp — which may or may not be an actual problem in your eyes — is the fact that its user reviews are hard to trust Yelp Can't Be Trusted: Try One Of These Alternatives Now Yelp Can't Be Trusted: Try One Of These Alternatives Now Yelp has lost some ground when it comes to trust. At this point, Yelp's reviews have little redemptive value and users should look to an alternative service when finding local businesses. Read More . There's been a lot of controversy around the service, and at this point it's hard to know whether a certain restaurant's ratings and reviews are legitimate, fabricated, or manipulated in some other way.
We investigated the Yelp controversy Investigating The Yelp Rating Algorithm: How Internet Memes Spread Investigating The Yelp Rating Algorithm: How Internet Memes Spread Many small businesses on Yelp believe the review service manipulates its rating algorithm. But is it true? We detail that investigation with first person accounts and interviews with Yelp managers. Read More back in 2014 and got stories from both sides. Check it out if you want to know more before using Yelp.
So you've used these apps and narrowed down your choices to three or four, but can't put your foot down on one in particular? At that point, there's no use in wasting any more time — just let an app decide for you so you can finally eat!
We've highlighted a few decision-maker apps Indecisive? Make The Right Choices With These Apps Indecisive? Make The Right Choices With These Apps Have you heard of the paradox of choice? If you're like me and suffer from analysis paralysis, these apps will change your life. Read More before, but most of them are meant for big life decisions that involve many factors. For something as simple as picking where to eat, you're better off with an app like Ultimate Decision Maker, which is a glorified pick-at-random utility. But hey, it works!
Which app(s) do you use when you need to find a place to eat? Are there any that we missed? What tricks do you use when you're stuck between a handful of options? Let us know with a comment below!

Reincarnation of the main film by Claude Lelouch and winner of the Volpi Cup of the Venice Film Festival – in cinemas in Minsk this week
This week we advise you to watch auteur cinema. From 11 to 17 February, the Cinema "Tsentralnyi" will show the film "Padrenostro" directed by Claudio Noce, awarded with the Volpi Cup at the last Venice Film Festival. In addition, until February 10, the movie "Les plus belles années d'une vie" is shown at the Pioner cinema – this is the return of Claude Lelouch to the most important work in his filmography.
"Padrenostro" is a retro story with an excellent soundtrack from the 70s, a vivid example of the fact that modern Italian cinema lives not only on comedies. The director tells a story from his childhood: the action takes place in the 1970s, during the war, which was raging on the streets of Italian cities between the extreme right and extreme left terrorist groups. This is the story of two boys, Valerio and Christian, and one summer, which gave them two important discoveries: the terrible one about the cruelty of adults, the beautiful one about the power of friendship.
The leading actor Pierfrancesco Favino received the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival 2020, and the film itself was nominated for the Golden Lion and Silver Lion. In recent years, the actor has already been remembered by the Cannes public (the film "Il traditore" with him in the title role received the Prix La Libera) and won the Italian Golden Globe for his role in the film "Hammamet".
Oscar-winning director Claude Lelouch returns to his magnum opus. "Les plus belles années d'une vie" is a new film by the master, a continuation of the films "Un homme et une femme" and "Un homme et une femme, 20 ans déjà". Anouk Aimé and Jean-Louis Trintignant will again star in the lead roles, and Monica Bellucci will join the original cast. The original film, filmed in 1966, won over 40 awards, including the Grand Prix in Cannes and two Oscars, and has remained an example of romantic drama ever since.
The new version of "Les plus belles années d'une vie" tells the story of former racer Jean-Louis, who lives in a nursing home in Normandy. The hero constantly mentally returns to his love story for Anna Gaultier, which happened more than 50 years ago. When Jean-Louis loses his memory, but still retains the image of Anna, his son asks the woman to visit her former lover. Elderly people remember the time when they were together, return to places dear to both and realize that these years were the best in their life. The touching love drama can still be seen at the Pioner cinema until February 10th.
The film distribution in Minsk is organized by Visual and Performing Arts Centre "ART Corporation".
We advise you to take precautions and make your movie visit not only enjoyable but also safe: please wear masks and use other protective means.

A family loss sends Stevens back to his heartbreaking folk roots

Apocalypse, girl
Denny Renshaw
The 2012 passing of Sufjan Stevens' estranged mother, Carrie, sparked an existential crisis in the 39-year-old singer-songwriter. Here, on his most emotionally draining album, he joins Nick Drake and Elliott Smith in the canon of artists who channel suicidal thoughts into impossibly pretty songs. Stevens strips his sound far enough to reveal his deepest anguish; neither the Disney-style orchestras of 2005's Illinois nor the synth-pop-as-craft-project of 2010's The Age of Adz peek through his acoustic fingerpicking and warm-milk voice. Even when Stevens goes all happy memories and gentle melodies on the title track and "Eugene," you'll be holding back tears.

Perfect Timing for a Face the Truth Tour
Joe Scheidler July 5, 2005
Wednesday begins the 2005 Face the Truth Tour. All our callers in the Chicago area are invited to join us on the streets to take the awful truth of abortion to the people.
Good Timing for Truth Tour
Abortion is in the news these days, with the resignation of pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and speculation that she will be replaced by a pro-life Judge. Abortion is the issue on talk radio, in the news magazines and newspapers and on TV. The whole nation alive to the issue.
So now is a most opportune time to take the pictures of abortion out to the public. This is the ancient battle between good and evil. Protecting life is good, abortion is evil—it takes innocent, helpless life. People fighting to keep abortion legal are defending murder. It's that simple.
Liberals call pro-lifers fanatics and ultra-conservatives, but pro-lifers are merely patriots who believe in this nation's founding documents that seek what is right and good, not what is merely expedient. We pity those who need abortion and fight to keep it the law of the land. We will fight them until all abortions are once again outlawed.
The Apostolate of the Street
The League heads into two weeks of showing the truth on the streets of Illinois as the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform completes its Midwest "Cities of Refuge" Tour. Greg Cunningham's group toured fourteen cities in Ohio, and exposed 1.2 million people to the truth of abortion.
Greg got a dozen news stories with headlines like, "Eye Opening Message," and "Abortion images demonstrated on Main Street." One woman in Bucyrus, Ohio said the pictures, "made my convictions even stronger. I needed to see the photos in order to know the reality and feel the immense emotion within me, the anger, the disgust that this is allowed to happen."
Jack Ames just completed a successful truth tour in Maryland and Virginia, and Bob Newman has ongoing tours throughout Pennsylvania. Sunny Turner held a tour in Tucson, AZ.
Meanwhile, four groups of pro-lifers are walking across America talking up a storm at every stop, explaining abortion to unwary Americans, and making converts. This is the apostolate of the street. It isn't easy, it isn't always safe, but it has its moments of glory. What all these groups are trying to do is wake Americans up to the reality of the holocaust going on in this country.
People who respect human life aren't allowed to do this in many countries. Good Germans couldn't do it in the days of the Holocaust. But we have the freedom in America to go out on the highways and public squares and tell the story of our own holocaust. And we must do it.
This year we are handing out a Face the Truth brochure, "See what abortion really looks like," explaining the graphics we are holding. "The pictures you are seeing here today are real," it says.
We know these pictures are disturbing and we realize you may be angry with us for showing them to you today. But if these pictures disturb you, that's because abortion is disturbing. As these pictures show, every abortion destroys a precious human life.
We're here today because we believe Americans should face the truth about abortion and the truth is that abortion kills innocent human beings made in the image of God. Since abortion was legalized nationwide in 1973, nearly fifty million children have been destroyed before they were born.
The brochure answers the question, "What if children see these pictures?" Our answer:
Until someone tries to convince a child that abortion is okay, he will know in his heart that it is wrong to take the life of an unborn baby. Children do not want to see other children suffer. Children are naturally pro-life.
We suggest that parents calmly explain to children who see these pictures that we are trying to stop people from hurting babies. When children understand that we are working to protect other children, they are far less likely to be upset by what they see."
We ask, "Isn't there a better way?" We reply that "if everyone who values life did something to fight abortion we wouldn't need to line the streets with these graphic pictures. But so many people remain unaware of the truth about abortion that we have to be here."


With a motto like, "Enjoy the Sky", it is no doubt that you will have a seamless journey on board an EgyptAir flight. Did you know that EgyptAir's logo is Horus – the Winged God of the Sun? With age comes experience, and EgyptAir has been around as far back as pre-World War 2! Its first commercial flight commenced in 1933 from Cairo International Airport (CAI) which has become its hub of operation.


A set of 23 cutters that deserve to be added to your collection. In the set can be found cutters for butterflies, moths, bees, dragonflies, stars and even a dove cutter is included. You can achieve the decoupage look by just placing the bottom cutter or full cutter at the bottom and the top cutter or half cutter on top separated by a small piece of gumpaste to give them the 3D effect. Each cutter comes individually bagged to avoid you looking for the corresponding cutter.
The set brings instructions so you can let you imagination run wild.


Hampton in sumptuous black suede is both easy to wear and stylish. Sitting at a flattering height, this boot is not quite an ankle boot and not quite a mid-calf. The accented leather laces wrap elegantly around the back of the foot to create a style to fit all. The perfect option to carry you through the seasons.
