Edgar Wolston Bertram Handsley Milne-Redhead (1906-1996) was a British botanist. He was born in Frome, Somerset, UK. Educated at Cheltenham College and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, he began work at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1928. In 1930, he accepted an offer to work in the Colonial Office in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), where he collected plants for herbarium specimens. He was based at Matonchi Farm, west of Mwinilunga, North-Western Province, Zambia, near the borders of Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo for 4½ months. He also collected extensively near Kalene Hill. He discovered many new species, and several were named after him, including Commelina milne-redheadii Faden (Commelinaceae). In 1933, he married artist and illustrator Olive Shaw, with whom he had one daughter.

In 1949, he and others began the process to establish an "Association pour l'Etude Taxonomique de la Flore d'Afrique Tropicale" (or "Association for the Taxonomic Study of the Flora of Tropical Africa") (AETFAT). He prepared treatments for the Flora of Tropical East Africa and eventually published 161 new names. Returning to the U.K., he was appointed Deputy Keeper of the Herbarium and Library at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and editor of Kew Bulletin, serving from 1959 until 1971. He became president of the Botanical Society of the British Isles, now the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland, in 1969. His last campaign at Kew was an effort to set up a Conservation Unit, which occurred in 1972. He died in 1996 in Colchester.

Troubleshooters: Lake City Woman
By: Andy Liscano
Regina Browning is really struggling.
She says she moved from the Houston area to Lake City 2 years ago.
Then suffered a stroke last year.
And she just received this letter telling her she has to get out of her house. Now.
"Where you gonna move to? I'm moving to Louisiana whenever I can 'cause my son lives there. You gonna move in with him ? Just long enough till I can find a place, because when I had my stroke, he told me you're either moving down there, or I'll come get you and move you because I'm gonna have to take care of you."
This all started, Browning says, after she sold her house in Brazoria County and moved to South Texas to be closer to family.
Browning thinks the Texas Health and Human Services Commission believes she profited from the sale.
She's adamant she didn't.
So they sent her this notice which reads in part 'the amount of state benefits you get has to change either in 'federal benefits' or 'amount she pays for Medicare Part B' which primarily covers doctor visits or outpatient care.
Browning claims the reduction in her benefits is a big reason she's behind on her rent for this place.
Which is why this letter says she has to move.
Think she has it bad? Listen.
"I'll tell you what, I feel sorry for those people and the elderly out there that's in worse shape than I am."
The Troubleshooters contacted the HHS about Browning.
They referred us to the 'Your Texas Benefits' website which Browning says she's tried, and that's why she's called us for help.
We're not done.

Office of the First Lady
Mrs. Bush's Remarks at a Screening of "Glory Road"
8:52 A.M. EST
MRS. BUSH: I'm so excited to have the chance to invite basketball teams from around the D.C. area and their coaches to come meet this team, the 1966 NCAA basketball champions from Texas Western College. They were the first all-black starting basketball team. And that was 40 years ago, 1966. You'll be amused when you watch the movie and you see the lines that, "blacks can't play basketball." (Laughter.)
But anyway, I would think it's important for you all to hear their story. This is a movie, and so not all of it is true. But this is a true story about a basketball team, about men with character, about a coach who took a lot of risk at the time to put on the court a whole black team. And it's a really exciting story, as well.
I want to thank Wan Kim, the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. Thank you very much for co-hosting this event with us. Thanks to Dan Glickman, the President of the Motion Picture Association of America, and to Richard Bates of Disney for making this possible to see the movie today. And a special thanks to Sheila Johnson from the Mystics. Thank you very much for joining us here.
And of course, the heroes of the story are all behind me -- 40 years later you can see what they look like. These are the members of the -- (laughter) -- they're really very young -- members of the 1966 Texas Western championship team.
I had a really close tie to Texas Western. I actually went to summer school there in 1965, so I would have overlapped with a lot of them. My mother went there to college -- it was Texas College of Mines when she went there -- Mines and Metallurgy when she went there, and then Texas Western when I went there and they went there. And it's now the University of Texas at El Paso. But that's why they're called the Miners, because it had been the Texas College of Mines before it became Texas Western.
I want to introduce the coach and the players that are here with us. There's Assistant Coach, Moe Iba, who is with us. (Applause.) And then the players: Jerry Armstrong, Orsten Artis, Lou Baudoin, Willie Cager, Dick Myers, Togo Railey, Nevil Shed, Willie Worsley, David Lattin, Eddie Mullens, Fred Schwake, Steve Tredennick. (Applause.) And I'll just tell you before you watch the movie that Bobby Joe Hill died in 2002. His widow was with us last night -- Tina. I don't know if she's here today -- and his daughter. But you'll get to hear his story. And when the team had their picture made last night at the White House, they had a photograph of Bobby Joe Hill to put in the picture, and you'll see how important he is to the story.
The coach, Don Haskins, is still alive. He lives in El Paso, Texas. He was planning to come, and then his health took a little turn for the worse, so he was not with us last night. But you'll see in the movie how important he is to this whole story. But we're very glad that Josh Lucas, who played Coach Haskins, is here with us. (Applause.)
"Glory Road" -- the movie, "Glory Road," is a reminder to all of us of how times have changed, and to each step in the story of our history as Americans, and certainly in the story of civil rights and equal rights for all people. And so I'm so excited to be showing it to all of you.
Coach Haskins was special because he didn't let bigotry stand in the way of what he chose to do for his team and for his college. And the choices a coach make, all of us know, affect the lives of their players, and the choices that players make affect the team. A team is like a family, and what's really interesting to me, and actually very moving, is that after 40 years, these men still act like brothers to each other.
The best teams work together and support each other so that everyone can succeed, and coaches often become like another mom or dad, someone you can turn to for advice and encouragement on and off the court. And, in fact, in surveys that ask young people, especially young men, who had the most impact on your life, first, of course, they say their parents, but then a huge number of them say a coach next, that a coach made a difference in their lives.
So I want to thank all the coaches who are here who help young people in every part of their lives. And I want to challenge all the players who are here to think about how much your coaches have meant to you, and then to try to be a good role model to those coming up behind you. I hope some of you will actually choose to be coaches and teachers for your career.
So thanks very much. I'm so glad you're here, and now here's the movie, "Glory Road." (Applause.)

SironRX Therapeutics Raises $3.4 Million Series A
SironRX Therapeutics, the Cleveland-based regenerative therapies company for dermal and bone healing, completed a $3.4 million Series A round led by North Coast Angel Fund and including Cleveland Clinic, JumpStart Inc., Fletcher Spaght Investments, Glengary LLC, Ohio Tech Angel Fund III, Early Stage Partners, X Gen Ltd. and a significant number of individuals.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 16, 2011– SironRX Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing novel regenerative therapies to accelerate dermal and bone healing, announced today a $3.4 million Series A investment led by North Coast Angel Fund. Additional investors include Cleveland Clinic, JumpStart Inc., Fletcher Spaght Investments, Glengary LLC, Ohio Tech Angel Fund III, Early Stage Partners, X Gen Ltd. and a significant number of individuals.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110816/DC52317LOGO)
"We are excited to have secured this financing from a strong investor syndicate that includes both venture capitalists and angel investors," states Rahul Aras, Ph.D., who is SironRX's co-founder, President and CEO. "We will use the funds to build the SironRX team and execute on key clinical-stage milestones."
SironRX has exclusively licensed JVS-100 in the fields of dermal and bone repair from Juventas Therapeutics. JVS-100 encodes Stromal cell-Derived Factor 1 (SDF-1), a naturally occurring factor that activates the body's own repair processes. Juventas is developing JVS-100 for treatment of cardiovascular disease and recently completed a successful Phase I clinical trial demonstrating safety and preliminary efficacy in Class III heart failure patients.
"While the SDF-1 repair biology is well-conserved in nearly all end-organ systems, including the heart, skin and bone, the final product formulations, delivery and target clinical indications will differ significantly between the two companies," indicates Marc Penn, M.D., Ph.D., SironRX's Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer and Director of Research for the Summa Cardiovascular Institute. "Separating the companies allows each to develop SDF-1 for very different market segments in a focused and orderly way."
SironRX will undertake its initial clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of JVS-100 for promoting dermal wound closure and scar reduction post-surgery. In addition, there is potential to address a broader spectrum of dermal and bone related clinical indications, including burns, chronic wounds and fractures at a future date.
"SironRX presents an outstanding combination of strong technology, large target markets and a proven team of founders that we are excited to back," states Claiborne Rankin, Managing Member of North Coast Angel Fund and SironRX Board Chairman. "We see the very broad, heavily Ohio-based investor group as a further indicator of the region's commitment to supporting strong companies in the biomedical field."
While the financing primarily involved Ohio-based investors, Boston-based Fletcher Spaght Ventures (FSV) joined the investment syndicate. "We are very pleased to participate in the SironRX financing, our second investment in Ohio. We continue to believe that the superior scientific and technical innovations reflected in SironRX show the enormous potential for venture capital investment in Ohio," states Linda Tufts, General Partner at FSV and SironRX Board Director.
About SironRX Therapeutics, Inc.
SironRX is a venture-backed biotechnology company developing novel therapies exclusively licensed from Juventas Therapeutics and Cleveland Clinic that promote wound repair and prevent scarring of dermal wounds. Our lead product, JVS100 is a clinically tested product that encodes Stromal cell-Derived Factor-1 (SDF-1). SDF-1 is produced by the body in response to tissue injury and activates natural repair processes to prevent cell death and recruit stem cells to the damaged organ. For its first clinical indication the Company will evaluate the safety and efficacy of JVS-100 in the treatment of post-surgical wounds.

Donation to help fund new library learning commons at BCC Attleboro campus
A $1 million gift from the Robert F. Stoico/Firstfed Charitable Foundation will fund the innovative, new Stoico/Firstfed Library Learning Commons at the Bristol Community College Attleboro campus.
The generous gift will help centralize the campus's academic support services and library into one convenient, specialized location. This is the largest donation the college has ever received for the Attleboro location and distinguishes the Robert F. Stoico/Firstfed Charitable Foundation as the institution's second largest donor to date.
At the Stoico/Firstfed Library Learning Commons, students will have the opportunity to meet with an academic or career advisor, connect with an academic tutor or reference librarian, explore the college's collection of printed and digital library resources or collaborate with classmates on projects or coursework.
"The college is very grateful to the Robert F. Stoico/Firstfed Charitable Foundation for its tremendous support, for more than 20 years, as partners in promoting a college-going culture in our region," said Laura L. Douglas, president of Bristol Community College. "The Robert F. Stoico/Firstfed Charitable Foundation's gift will enable Bristol to provide the Attleboro community with direct access to innovative learning resources and support services for a high-quality and affordable education."
Robert F. Stoico/Firstfed Charitable Foundation Executive Director Cecilia Viveiros noted that Founder Robert F. Stoico served as chairman, president and CEO of Firstfed America Bancorp, Inc. for more than 30 years, during which time the financial services company grew to more than 40 locations throughout New England and the mid-Atlantic states. While the financial services company eventually merged in 2004, Stoico maintained the Charitable Foundation as a way to continually enhance those communities that contributed to the success of the company.
The Learning Commons concept multiplies the reach of the location's existing impactful support services by streamlining the sometimes challenging experience for students seeking academic resources, through the centralization and collaboration of the college's library, writing, tutoring and academic support centers.
Bristol Community College opened the Attleboro location at the site of the former Texas Instruments facility at 11 Field Road in 2008. The innovative campus includes a diverse population of students from a wide geographic area, including the Greater Attleboro area and Rhode Island.

Industrial & Post Punk New Wave & Synth Pop Reissue Techno
"Dark Entries digs deeper in to the archives of Severed Heads, one of the longest surviving bands to emerge from the Australian post-punk independent music scene. They began in Sydney in 1979, incorporating elements of 'industrial' noise-generation, tape cutting & looping and electronic sound synthesis. As the project developed song-structures and vocals were employed in a more-or-less recognizable mutant electro pop style. In 1986 the band released the 12" single "Petrol" on Nettwerk Records. We've decided to shed light on the evolution of "Petrol" with this EP showcasing four earlier incarnations of what became an instant synth pop classic.
"Petrol", originally titled "Lamborghini", was written by Garry Bradbury and Tom Ellard in 1981. The first version of the song featured vocals by Finoa Graham and music by Tom Ellard. "Lamborghini" was featured on a compilation of Experimental Australian bands titled "Entrave Et Étouffement, From Australia..." released by L'Invitation Au Suicide in April 1982. DJs in Chicago discovered the import compilation and "Lamborghini" became a proto-House secret weapon, traded on mix tapes. In July 1982, the band was invited to record several songs on Metro TV in Sydney to demonstrate the video synthesizer, a new piece of equipment played by Stephen Jones. The video synthesizer was installed into Metro's control room above the main studio to process the performance in real time on two cameras while recording to video. Tom Ellard and Garry Bradbury were using analog synths and tape recorders along with the screaming guitar work of Simon Knuckey, while Garry took over vocal duties. In 1984 Tom took another stab at the song, re-recording and singing "Petrol" for the compilation "Beyond The Southern Cross", a double compilation album of Electronic and Post-Punk bands from Australia and New Zealand. Finally in 1985, the band went into the Terse Tapes studio with producer Robert Racic to record "Petrol" for a 7" single release on Volition Records. Featured here is the B-side of the 7", a cut-up dub "version" remixed by Racic and packed full of intensity.
All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in a jacket featuring brightly colored, distorted, VHS graphics output by Stephen Jones' video synthesizer created by Tom Ellard video piece "Kato Gets The Girl" in 1985, designed by Eloise Leigh. Each copy includes a postcard with notes and original hand-written lyrics by Garry Bradbury. More than 30 years later Severed Heads are still paving the way for powerful imaginative challenging music far and wide." - Dark Entries

The Milgrom-Shannon single crossing property is essential for monotone comparative statics of optimization problems and noncooperative games. This paper formulates conditions for an additively separable objective function to satisfy the single crossing property. One component of the objective function is assumed to allow a monotone concave transformation with increasing differences, and to be nondecreasing in the parameter variable. The other component is assumed to exhibit increasing differences, and to be nonincreasing in the choice variable. As an application, I prove existence of an isotone pure strategy Nash equilibrium in a Cournot duopoly with logconcave demand, affiliated types, and nondecreasing costs.

Memoirs of a man with one foot still in Auschwitz
http://www.jeffjacoby.com/11278/memoirs-of-a-man-with-one-foot-still-in-auschwitz
THE WORLD'S FOREMOST Holocaust survivor, a man famed for having lifted his voice for the millions who were silenced, cannot talk with his own sisters about the Holocaust.
"I . . . dream about my mother and my little sister," Elie Wiesel writes near the end of And the Sea is Never Full, his new book of memoirs. "I try to learn about their last moments. Hilda walked with them a few steps more than I did. I want to question her about it. I don't dare. We speak every week but only about her health, her son, Sidney, her grandchildren. Yet I would like to know more about her experiences in the camp. . . . I curse the reticence that renders me mute. Neither with Bea nor with Hilda have I spoken of our parents or our home. Am I afraid of bursting into tears?"
Wiesel lived through the Final Solution and he lives with it still; its shadows fall across nearly everything he has done for the past half-century; to remember, to bear witness, has been the constant theme of his life's work. Yet it is the subject he dreads above all others. "I have written books," he says, "but with a few exceptions, they deal with other things . . . . I have written on diverse subjects mostly in order not to evoke the one that, for me, has the greatest meaning."
He has not come close to answering the questions he began asking as a teen-ager. How could it happen? Why was the world indifferent? And God — where was He? Even now he doesn't know what to call the Nazis' genocidal war against the Jews. Sometimes he calls it the Holocaust, sometimes "the Tragedy," "the abyss," "the Events," "the Kingdom of Night." Sometimes, simply — "over there."
"In truth," he writes, "there is no word for the ineffable."
Wiesel is one of the great men of the 20th century; the completion of his memoirs is therefore news. His first volume, All Rivers Run to the Sea, left off in 1969. Wiesel was then 40, the yeshiva student from Sighet, Rumania, who had returned from the death camps, found his voice, and become a writer of international repute. And the Sea is Never Full opens in Jerusalem with his marriage and covers the 30 years since.
By any standard, they have been years of extraordinary accomplishment. Wiesel has made his mark as an author, a teacher, a champion of human rights, a citizen of the world. He has produced 40 books, won millions of admirers, become the confidant of presidents, received the Nobel Prize.
And he has done it all while keeping one foot in Auschwitz.
"In truth," he says, "we have not left the Kingdom of Night. Or rather: It refuses to let us go. It is inside us. The dead are inside us. They observe us, guide us. They wait for us. . . . They are judging us."
The effect Wiesel has on his listeners can be remarkable. In 1985, he testified on the Genocide Convention before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "When I find out that Jesse Helms is chairing the session, my instinct is to . . . head back to New York, for this Southern senator and I clearly have few ideas in common." He was not encouraged when Helms introduced him. "I realize that he has no idea who I am. He reads a text evidently prepared by his aides: Everything in it sounds false, even my name."
Then the survivor of the extermination camps began to speak. Intently, Helms listened. In the end, the chairman was not swayed by Wiesel's plea that leaving the treaty unratified would amount to a betrayal of the victims. But he paid close attention, and remained "silent for a long moment. He then thanks me in such flattering terms that the entire committee takes notice. Is it the first time he has heard a Jew expressing himself as a Jew? Or is it just a display of southern courtesy? . . . Amazingly, at the conclusion of my testimony, Helms interrupts the session to escort me to the door."
Helms is not the only one who has found Wiesel's voice impossible to ignore.
In 1966, New York's prestigious 92nd Street Y invited the young author to speak. He was to share the program with the novelist Jean Shepherd, but after he spoke, much of the audience left.
Recalls Wiesel: "Never mind, I told myself, while counting the few friends and strangers scattered through [the hall]; so they won't invite me again." He gave it his best shot — read a page from this book, discussed a passage from that one. The audience sat in silence. "God, make this torture come to an end," he silently prayed.
Finally it was over. "Only it wasn't," he writes. In the 34 years since that night, he has returned to lecture at the Y more than 120 times. His annual talks there and at Boston University are typically standing-room-only affairs. Those who hear Elie Wiesel's voice usually return to hear it again.
In Oslo, on the night he receives the Nobel Prize, a torchlight parade is held in his honor. From every corner of Norway, marchers stream to pay him homage. "Since Schweitzer," he overhears a journalist say, "there hasn't been anything like it."
Still, he wonders: Has it all been in vain? He fears that, "like Kafka's unfortunate messenger . . . his message has been neither received nor transmitted. Or worse — it has been, and nothing has changed. It has produced no effect. . . . Everything goes on as though the messenger had forgotten the dead whose message he had carried."
It is a thought to haunt us all.

Q: Setting up and configuring MySQL Database to store information about billion unique URLs I am creating an app that stores new information every week consists of 10 X 12 digit integers for about millions of unique URLs. I need to extract information for particular week or for a particular week range for the given URL. I am going to use MySQL as a database.
Tip: To simplify, grouping the URLs by domain will reduce the amount of data to processed while querying.
I need advice about structuring a database for fast querying that takes optimal processing power and disk space.

A: Since no-one else has had a go, here's my advice.
To make a start, ignore 'fast querying that takes optimal processing power and disk space.' Looking for that at the start won't get you anywhere. Design and create a sensible database to meet your function requirements. Bung in random data until you've got approximately the volume you expect. Run queries against it and time them.
If your database is normalised properly, the disc space it takes will also be approximately minimised. Queries may be slow: use execution plans to see why they're slow, and add indexes to help their performance. Once you get acceptable performance, you're there.
The main point is a standard saying: don't optimise until you know you have a problem and you've measured it.

Miami and North Palm Beach, Fla. — The Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation and Miami Children's Health System today announce a $60 million pledge to support the sustained growth and advancement of the health system's acclaimed Miami-based children's hospital. In recognition, Miami Children's Hospital—the flagship of Miami Children's Health System—and its network of outpatient centers will bear the Nicklaus Children's Hospital name, effective in March of this year.
Miami Children's Hospital, which celebrates its 65th anniversary this year, has a long and distinguished tradition of serving children. The 289-bed private, nonprofit freestanding hospital receives children from throughout Florida, the U.S. and more than 75 countries. It is renowned for excellence in all pediatric specialties and has more pediatric programs ranked among "America's Best" by U.S. News & World Report than any other hospital in Florida.
Miami Children's Health System also features a network of eight outpatient centers extending from southern Miami-Dade County to Palm Beach Gardens. Along with the hospital, these will also incorporate the Nicklaus name.
Miami Children's Health Foundation (MCH Foundation) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) established to create a world-class pediatric hospital so no child needs to leave South Florida for superior medical care. "Funding World-Class Care" and following the principle that all children deserve state-of-the-art pediatric care with no financial boundaries, MCH Foundation, now a part of the newly formed Miami Children's Health System, has helped the 289-bed Miami Children's Hospital become a leader in pediatric healthcare with more than 40 subspecialties, the largest pediatric neurology center in the United States, a top provider of cardiology and neonatology services, and a Research Institute conducting in excess of 200 clinical trials and protocols. Currently, MCH Foundation is dedicating all its resources to Together For The Children, The Campaign for Miami Children's Hospital, which aims to fund seven MCH priorities, including the expansion and enhancement of the Emergency Department, as well as the construction of a new Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion, and expanding its Global/Telehealth endeavors.
Founded in 1950 by Variety Clubs International, Miami Children's Hospital operates South Florida's only licensed specialty hospital exclusively for children, with more than 650 attending physicians and over 130 pediatric subspecialists. The 289-bed nonprofit hospital is renowned for excellence in all aspects of pediatric medicine and routinely has many programs ranked among the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report. The organization has grown and evolved into the Miami Children's Health System (MCHS), which includes Miami Children's Health Foundation, the organization's 501c3 fundraising arm; a network of eight nonprofit outpatient centers situated in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties; Pediatric Specialty Group, Inc., a nonprofit physician practice subsidiary; a management services organization, and an ambulatory surgery center (opening soon), as well as an e-commerce line of children's wellness and safety products that support the hospital's mission of serving the region's pediatric population. MCHS is the region's only healthcare system exclusively for children.


With John Casey's Relational Cycle on its 207 repeating pattern, the Earth is beginning to experience cooling that is now beginning to affect crop yields. In order not to spook a global population creative excuses are being pushed in the corporate controlled media for ever rising food prices far above normal inflation rates. Swine Flu in China, tariff spats, samonilla, govt animal feed price rises, anything to avoid the truth that the Grand Solar Minimum cooling cycle is here for decades.

Date: 8 August, 2021Author: Niall Gray 4 Comments
As those who listen to the podcast might know, I have a slight issue with the MCU. It's not that I dislike the films – quite the opposite, in fact – but the idea of one colossal, over-arcing narrative that requires an investment of hundreds of hours just to fully understand that rubs me the wrong way. Marvel (well, Disney, to be precise) are doing their best to put a monopoly on the box office, and I fundamentally disagree on principle.
That said, I'm starting a new job soon that will almost certainly require me to have an intricate knowledge of the MCU (more on that soon), and as a lifelong comic book fan, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to once again diving headlong into the deep, decades-long lore of Marvel. Yes, that makes me a hypocrite, but it's for money, so I think that makes it okay.
After booting up Disney+, I decided to watch the films in timeline order, starting with 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, hence this review being the first in my 'MCU Review' series.
Being honest, I've always felt that Cap was a little dull. Don't get me wrong, Chris Evans is incredibly charismatic, the Star Spangled man isn't my least favourite Avenger, but each of Captain America's movies failed to grab me. Maybe it's the inherent sense of patriotism for a country that isn't my own (or even one I think has any place having a superhero named after them), maybe it's the war/spy-thriller/political blend, but in retrospect, I always considered Captain America to be the weakest link in Phase One of the MCU.
Watching it back forced me to reconsider. The First Avenger slots itself nicely into the budding MCU by including brief references to the events of the films that came before, while still standing on its own as the first instalment (chronologically speaking).
The film's overall theme of heroism and virtue sets Cap up to be the quintessential hero, and its WW2 setting offers a fitting stage for this. The Red Skull is an equally cartoonish villain to match him, and the dynamic of good vs. evil meshes well with the wartime atmosphere.
The thing that Captain America fails to do is add any real depth to its characters. Sure, there's a vague, undefined romantic storyline, but ultimately, the film glosses over the horrors of war by glorifying the heroism of the Allied forces and simultaneously reducing all of their adversaries to mindless Hydra henchmen.
With its status as a comic book adaptation, it seems only fair to mention that this doesn't specifically lie with the film's writers, although their unwillingness to update or rethink certain aspects of the character's backstory carried with it a tinge of laziness.
Really, that's my ultimate opinion of the film – it fits in with the MCU, widens the scope of the narrative and sets up a new hero, but it does precious little else. Captain America: The First Avenger is at once showy and dull, filled with Easter eggs but not quite enough substance to stand out against some of the MCU's other offerings, marked only by hints of what makes the franchise so entertaining.
As I said, I did reconsider my earlier sentiment that The First Avenger was the weakest entry into Phase One, and while it does possess more merit than I remembered, it still failed to impress.
Summary: A film as dull as it was necessary, Captain America: The First Avenger introduces its characters and sets up Cap's induction into the Avengers, but failed to do anything impressive. It tried to be visually gritty without depicting any of the realities of war, causing the whole film to ring pretty hollow.
Highlights: There are flashes of the humour that makes the MCU stand out, and a few glimpses at the hero that Captain America should be, and it's in these moments that The First Avenger really shines.

Alberta's energy war room logo fiasco close to winning a Teddy
The may not have won, but for Alberta's Energy War Room the honour didn't come from just from being nominated.
Dave Naylor
They may not have won, but for Alberta's Energy War Room the honour didn't come from just from being nominated.
The Canadian Taxpayers Association handed out their highly-anticipated Teddy Awards Thursday highlighting government misspending across the country – and the Government of Alberta's $30-million a year war room received a nomination.
"The $30 million effort hasn't had gotten off to a stellar start, and earned this nomination for the comedy of errors and waste that surrounded its logo. In December, the war room had to change its logo after it was revealed (it) was already being used for an American tech company. The logo it switched to also came under fire, though it hasn't been changed yet. We may never get to know the cost of the whole fiasco, because the "war room" isn't subject to freedom of information requests," said the CTF.
Courtesy Canadian Energy Centre
Franco Terrazzano, Alberta director of the CTF said: "If the war room is going to continue to use taxpayers' money it needs to be fully transparent with taxpayers.
"I can understand that Albertans are ready to stick up for our resource industries. I think the government wants the war room to be like a defencemen. Well right now I don't know if this defencemen knows how to skate backwards. The Mighty Ducks conquered all odds in the Disney movie. But I am skeptical given what I've seen so far."
In the provincial category, the war room lost out to the Yukon Department of Tourism and Culture.
"Someone in the Yukon had a brilliant idea: Buy gold and throw in a creek at a taxpayer-funded publicity stunt. The Yukon government jumped on board and spent $139,000 to promote and stage the Gold Rush II initiative where organizers threw gold into a creek as part of a tourism influencer campaign."
Unfortunately, a fundraiser campaign to cover the cost only raised $4,500 and only one reporter showed up.
Other winners:
FEDERAL: Global Affairs Canada; "Taxpayers were left with a bad taste in their mouths when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent more than $17,000 to fly a Canadian chef to India to prepare Indian food. Global Affairs Canada has been spending millions of dollars using a little-scrutinized fund called the Mission Cultural Fund to fly chefs around the world to cook at different embassies, among other expenses.
"Since the program was created in 2016, the government has spent $11.2 million out of a budgeted $4.6 million, putting the actual program cost at a whopping 144 per cent over budget."
MUNICIPAL: City of Toronto Parks and Recreation; "Toronto's Parks and Recreation Department has spent countless hours investigating a serious problem in its local community centres: seniors playing euchre. The investigation was led by a team of Scarborough Community Recreation supervisors, along with the city's legal department and Gaming Services division.
"The crime? Seniors were paying $1.25 to play three hours of euchre at various community centres in Scarborough. The CTF obtained 186 pages of documents detailing the bureaucracy's extensive work cracking down on the old-timers' sinister gambling operation.
"After the story became widely known, the city finally dropped the investigation, with
Toronto Mayor John Tory joking about calling off the "fun police."
The City of Victoria received a nomination in the category for spending $5,150 on an imported French stainless steel ping pong table in a local park. The city also plans to hand out free table tennis paddles and balls to nearby schools, businesses, homes and hotels.
Also nominated was the City of Vancouver for spending $200,000 on painting five large red rectangles at five bus stops throughout the region. The five red zones, which cost $40,000 each to paid, are part of a new city pilot project testing whether the red paint helps deter drivers from parking their cars in the zones.
And, drumroll please, the CTF 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award went to former Montreal Mayor Michael Applebaum.
"Applebaum previously plead guilty to eight counts of corruption in 2017, and spent six months in prison. Despite his convictions, Applebaum will get to keep his $260,000 taxpayer-funded severance package stemming from his time as a crooked mayor and councillor in Montreal, and will remain eligible for $36,000 a year from a taxpayer-funded pension when he turns 60, meaning that if he lives to age 90, he will collect more than a million dollars in pension payments."
A full list of all the nominees can be seen here.

Worker says vax policy creating 'mental health crisis' in oil & gas industry
'Honey pack up the kids! We're de-urbanizing'
Kenney shoots down idea of Alberta vax tax
"I have spoken with Minister Madu about the March 10 incident reported in the media today. I conveyed to him my profound disappointment in his decision to contact the Edmonton Police Chief after receiving a ticket for a traffic violation."
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney removed Justice Minister Kaycee Madu from his job after the minister called Edmonton's police chief about a distracted parking ticket he received.
Madu was fined $300 on March 10, 2021 after an Edmonton police officer caught him talking on his cellphone while driving through a playground zone.
Madu soon phoned Dale McFee, the city's chief of police, and discussed the ticket with him.
"The officer indicated that he had observed me driving while distracted, alleging that I was on my phone. I disagreed, stating that I was not on my phone, as it was in an inside pocket" said Madu.
"Later, I spoke to Chief Dale McFee. Due to the timing of the incident, I wanted to ensure that I was not being unlawfully surveilled following the controversy surrounding the Lethbridge Police Service. I also raised concerns around profiling of racial minorities that was in the media at the time.
"Chief McFee assured me that that was most definitely not the case, and I accepted him at his word."
But that wasn't good enough for Kenney who, after CBC broke the story, removed Madu from his post because it is "essential the independent administration of justice is maintained.
"I have spoken with Minister Madu about the March 10 incident reported in the media today. I conveyed to him my profound disappointment in his decision to contact the Edmonton Police chief after receiving a ticket for a traffic violation," Kenney tweeted.
"Minister Madu told me that he did not ask to have the ticket rescinded, nor was it his intention to interfere in the case, and that he promptly paid the ticket. I understand that Chief McFee has confirmed that at no time did the Minister seek to have the ticket rescinded.
"Nevertheless, it's essential the independent administration of justice is maintained. That's why I will appoint a respected independent investigator to review the relevant facts and to determine whether there was interference in the administration of justice in this case."
Energy Minister Sonya Savage will take on the duties of Minister of Justice and Solicitor General.
The scandal will be a blow for Kenney as Madu was one of his biggest supporters in an often fractured caucus.

Q: How i can make custom validators in adonis /node.js? Actually i have one function store(){} in my controller that make several validations, this validations return response status specific, i'm thinking if exist one way that i can import this validations and test before the create() method.
Actually my code is:
async store ({ request, response }) {

    const qt_options_menor_0 = this.verificaOptionsMenor0(request.body.qt_options)
    if(qt_options_menor_0){
      return response
      .status(406)
      .json({ message: "Não é possível cadastrar quantidade de opções menor que 0" });
    }

    const qt_options_igual_0 = this.verificaOptionsIgual0(request.body.qt_options)
    if(qt_options_igual_0)
      return response
      .status(406)
      .json({ message: "Não é possível cadastrar quantidade de opções igual a 0" });

 const parameter = {
      ...request.all(),
      user_id: request.user_id
    }
    const parametroCriado = await Parameter.create(parameter)
    return parametroCriado
  }

       verificaQtQuizSendIgual0(qt_quiz_send){
    if(qt_quiz_send === 0){
      return true
    }else{
      return false
    }
  }

  verificaOptionsMenor0(qt_options){
    if(qt_options < 0){
      return true
    }else{
      return false
    }
  }

This way my controller have much code, there's a better way to do this?

A: You can use Adonis validator
Like:
Validator file
'use strict'

class Option {
  get rules() {
    return {
      // Your rules
    }
  }

  get messages() {
    var antl = this.ctx.antl;
    return {
       // Custom messages
    }
  }

  async fails(errorMessages) {
    return this.ctx.response.status(406).json({ message: "Não é possível cadastrar quantidade de opções menor que 0" });
  }
}

module.exports = Option

Command
> adonis make:validator Option

Use validator - start/route.js
...
Route
  ...
  .validator('Option')

Canadian firefighters and authorities continue the battle against the massive wildfire in Fort McMurray
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said. "The damage is extensive." A dangerous mix of extreme temperatures and bone-dry conditions had fueled the inferno. The forecast for Friday included no rain, but winds were not expected to be as strong. The flames also prevented people north of the city from being able to travel south. Authorities ordered the evacuation of more than 88,000 people.The unpredictable fire headed toward even an emergency shelter in Anzac.
The wildfire destroyed gas stations, leaving many drivers and evacuees stranded. So fellow Canadians drove up a clogged highway, giving away gas, food and water. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said they are closely monitoring the situation in Fort McMurray and "assessing whether and when special measures will be necessary to address the needs of Canadian citizens, permanent residents and temporary residents in the region." The Fort McMurray area has been a popular destination for temporary workers for the past several years. Many implicationsincluding legal aspects are going to be for them. The entire population of Fort McMurray now face a long wait before they can return to their homes and resume anything close to normal lives. The government is working on a plan to find "transitional housing" for families who lost everything.

Big Band Boon
Alan Sculley July 13, 1995 4:00AM
James Pankow and Robert Lamm, two of the eight musicians who make up Chicago, don't have to be reminded that they've ventured onto touchy ground with the band's new CD, Night & Day (Big Band).
With Night & Day, Chicago focuses on well-known tunes from the big band era, among them Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train" and "Sophisticated Lady," Glenn Miller's "In the Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade," Benny Goodman's "Goody Goody" and Cole Porter's "Night and Day." The group took those and six more big band classics (including, as might be expected, "Chicago," made a hit by Frank Sinatra more than three decades ago), and, in Pankow's words, "lobotomized" the songs by updating the arrangements and putting the band's own stamp on the songs to create a "Chicago-ized," contemporary interpretation of the tracks.
To put into perspective the sensitive nature of Chicago's tinkering with big band standards, Pankow, Chicago's trombonist, recalls the reaction that came when the group redid their 1970s hit "25 or 6 to 4" a few years ago.
"We did a remake of '25 or 6 to 4' and released that as single, and by God, we got more flak," Pankow says. "I mean, it was as if we spit on the cross. Program directors were sending us hate mail. 'How dare you bastardize a Chicago anthem?' And our response was, well, 'Hey, we created the original. If anybody has a right to do a remake, we do.' And they didn't want to hear it ... so you can imagine what a song that has been a classic for 50 years would generate had we bastardized it."
While critics and music fans will have the final say on whether Chicago updated or defiled the songs on Night & Day, Pankow and keyboard player/singer Lamm, not surprisingly, feel the band walked the fine line that separates interpretation from bastardization. "I think, in listening to the CD, it's apparent that we treated those songs with a lot of love and respect, but didn't fall into the trap of trying to recreate the original," Lamm says.
The big band project comes at a time when Chicago, according to Lamm, is trying to get back some of the spirit that marked the group when it first began in 1967. It also comes at a time when Chicago has left its longtime major label, Warner Bros., for a smaller independent label, Giant. The break came because Warner declined to release what would have been Chicago 22, a CD of up-tempo original songs with producer Peter Wolf.
"They not only didn't understand [the CD], they hated it," Pankow says. "They asked us to go back into the studio and do another. And we told them absolutely not. This is what we are. This is what we had to do. This is a band album. And we wound up parting company because it was beating a dead horse. Rather than shove this thing down their throats, we figured it would probably be best to have a mutual parting of the ways."
Lamm admits that the still-unreleased CD was a major departure from recent Chicago albums. But that's one of the reasons the band liked it. "In some cases it was experimental," Lamm says. "It was experimental for sure sonically.... It had a kind of more urban and world edge than you would imagine with Chicago, which I think is really what scared Warner Bros. I think they got scared more than anything else. And I think the quality of the songs is very, very high."
What Warner Bros. was undoubtedly hoping for from the band was the ballad sound that gave Chicago a long string of hit singles during the 1980s ("Hard to Say I'm Sorry," "Hard Habit to Break" and "You're the Inspiration," to name a few). Talk of that sound prompts mixed feelings from Pankow and Lamm.
"I think we were victimized by our own success," Pankow says. "I mean, radio heard Chicago in one way, and that is power ballads. And you know, no matter how great an up-tempo song [we did], they didn't want to hear it. On Chicago Twenty-1 we tried to minimize the availability of ballads for the radio program directors, just to increase our odds of having an ass-kicking song on the radio. But even if there was only one ballad on that record, that was the candidate for a single, because that was all they heard Chicago as being.
"So that became almost a wedge in the band, where it caused dissent and it caused a feeling of frustration, because no matter how hard we tried to be heard for the other side of what we are, it was of no avail. I mean, we're writing all this incredible music and only a small portion of it is being recognized by the people who make your career. And that was disgusting."
Even though seeing a project get shelved was frustrating -- both Lamm and Pankow say they think the Wolf-produced CD will be released in some form at a future date -- the process of making the record has helped shift the band's direction. "I think it was so positive," Lamm says. "I think that first getting into the studio and doing a courageous album like that was great for everybody, because even though the music business industry side of it didn't work out that time, the songs that everybody contributed were really good and really original and really fun to listen to."
That break of standard Chicago form made it easier for the band to then turn around and attempt something else out of the ordinary -- the big band album, which aside from being one of the few times Chicago has covered other performers' music, is also one of the handful of Chicago albums to not be numbered.
Surprisingly, Chicago's members -- Lamm, Pankow, Lee Loughnane (trumpet), Walt Parazaider (woodwinds), Bill Champlin (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Jason Scheff (bass, vocals), Tris Imboden (drums) and Keith Howland (guitar) -- had only a limited knowledge of big band music when work began on the project. This made the CD an educational process, says Pankow.
"I'll tell you, we learned a lot of respect for these [big band] guys," Pankow says. "I mean, before we really got into this stuff, we weren't any more of an expert than you or anybody in terms of this music, because obviously it was another generation. But when we listened to this stuff, we were totally taken aback by the musicality of it. When you take this stuff apart you are just amazed at the intricacies and the difficulty of this music that sounds so harmless."
On the tour that comes to The Woodlands Sunday, the group will be playing a mix of big band standards and standards of Chicago's own. Lamm and Pankow also hope that Chicago might be able to show longtime fans a band in rejuvenated form. "It takes some talking and doing to get everybody focused on one vision," Lamm says. For a while, Chicago may have lost that vision, but the experience of the dispute with Warner, and recording two out-of-the-ordinary CDs back to back, may have rekindled some of the fire that was there two decades ago. "[That work] was a real positive thing that we hadn't done for a very long time," admits Lamm "We hadn't done it since I would say the '70s. And that's really the way this band thrives. And I think everybody, in doing that, remembered, oh yeah, that's why it was happening. So I think now whatever it is we want to do next, we now have a handle on how to go about it."
Chicago plays at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 16 at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Christopher Cross opens. Tickets are $10 to $40. For info, call 629-3700.

The project, according to Edward K. Mulbah, Executive Director for Peace Building office at MIA, is being informed by a number of studies, reports and the national development plan, which focuses on pillar three of the government's Pro-poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) — Sustaining the Peace.
In a powerpoint presentation, Mr. Mulbah informed the gathering that the project is part of the strategic road-map for national healing, peace-building and reconciliation and a survey report that forms the Opportunity Mapping for Peace Consolidation, and the Social Cohesion and Reconciliation Index (SCORE) Survey.
He said the project is expected to address issues of weaknesses in technical and institutional capacities that will respond to conflict-related matters at district and county levels surrounding boundary, property and land disputes; political and inter-group tensions, political tribalism, culture of violence and insecurity.
"This is intended to address violent tendencies, lower the lack of civic trust, fractured social cohesion along multiple lines, incidents of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), inter-group disputes, grievances around access to basic services, as well as concerns about transparency and accountability."
According to him, the project phase two runs from January 2019 to January 2020, and February 2020-October, 2021, focusing on strengthening infrastructure and capacity-building to support and operate existing peace-building structures, such as the conflict Early Warning and Early Response mechanism (EWER), County Peace Committees, County Security Council, and the web-based platform Liberia Early Warning and Response Network.
"The first phase of the project is valued at US$500,000. It addresses some basic findings to enhance political reconciliation, inter-group reconciliation, civic engagement and to build trust," he said.
The project also took into consideration rebuilding civic trust, and promoting social cohesion; targeting specific geographical locations, and to engage community inhabitants to reduce ethnic and religious tensions.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Varney A. Sirleaf, expressed gratitude to the Government and people of Sweden through its Ambassador Ingrid Watterquist for providing the needed financial support to implement this flagship project of the Liberian government.
"We would also like to thank our UN family and other potential donors, including IRISHAID for their support towards conflict prevention and transformation in meeting some objectives of pillar three of the PAPD," Minister Sirleaf said.
The project, he said, will help to further strengthen Government's capacity and ability to respond to these issues which will inherently help in a tremendous way to contribute to ending fragility during the period of the implementation of the PAPD and promote the culture of non-violence in our society.
He noted that the early identification of potential triggers of conflicts, and their positive transformation are vital for preventive responses, and would stop escalation of violence, thereby maintaining peace and security.
He described the early project as a sound policy, and a right socio-political move for maintaining peace and security in the country.

Proverb in focus today is Proverbs 9:11. This is a verse that is easy to misapply in several directions.
First, there is misunderstanding this as guaranteeing long life. While it is certainly true that wisdom extends our life in most cases, it is not an ironclad promise.
Second, there is misunderstanding this verse as declaring that anyone who does not have long life lacks either wisdom or faith. This is no more certain than the first mistake.
Most of our mistakes with Proverbs come from assuming these are promises of God rather than wisdom from God. Here is no Almighty promise that you will live long, only Wisdom stating that it will likely help.
What we have to understand is that Proverbs often states the ideal, while we live in a world that has the taint of sin echoing in all we do. Violating the wisdom of the book of Proverbs is more likely to bring about the counter to the statement than you are guaranteed to get it if you follow.
Does that mean we can just run amok? Nonsense. We learn to follow wisdom, because we are better able to glorify God.
And, when you add in this verse, consider in this capacity: who gets more done in the time they have?
The Wise? Or the Foolish?
Wisdom multiplies the life we live in the time we have.

20th July 2011, 8:06 pm 20th July 2011
This morning began with finishing the cleaning back in all of the structures on site, freshening the soil, removing dust and debris from the stones and generally making the Neolithic buildings look neat and tidy.
It is an irony, which does not escape those who have to wash their work clothes, that archaeologists spend so much time cleaning their sites, but remain irredeemably grubby themselves. A much misunderstood bunch!
Alex and Jennifer removing deposits within the southern end of Structure Eight. (ORCA)
Despite the off-putting sight of the workers, the first tourists arrived to visit the Ness of Brodgar site in droves today.
The first guided tour of the 2011 season. (ORCA)
Last year, we had over 5,000 visitors over the six weeks of digging.
This year, with another six weeks in prospect, we are confident of exceeding that total easily, as well over a hundred of them pulled into the site today.
Showing the visitors around is a real pleasure.
It is every bit as much their archaeology as it is ours, and almost all of the visitors are fully engaged with the amazing archaeology they are seeing and full of sharp and intelligent questions, which often leave the tour guide scratching his head.
Many of the visitors are returning for the umpteenth time.
One Dutch couple, who arrived yesterday, had spent several holidays in Orkney without seeing the Ness of Brodgar. This year, they checked us out on the website and booked their holiday especially to coincide with the dig. We look forward to seeing them again.
The archaeology is progressing fast.
Antonia and Adam clean the interior of Structure Ten. (ORCA)
In Structure Ten, Antonia and her team continue to define the area of the central chamber. She is hoping to find the entrance, although there is every possibility that it has been robbed out, or at least seriously damaged, in antiquity.
Adam has also found another incised stone within the central chamber – watch this space for a photo.
Structure Eight continues to amaze.
The heavy overburden of midden, which covers half of it, is being removed, and today another pier turned up, exactly where Nick had forecast.
The Neolithic builders had constructed their piers with such regularity that he had simply measured the distance between two existing piers, and extrapolated that to the un-excavated section.
This means that his other prediction – that Structure Eight would turn out to be around 20 metres long with six (compared to four in Structures One and Twelve) main side recesses – is also likely to be correct.
Ray reveals the first hints of the third hearth in Structure Eight. (ORCA)
Elsewhere in Structure Eight, another hearth has emerged, making a probable three in total (so far revealed!).
This one is located between two piers, possibly making the journey from one end of the structure to the other a tortuous, or difficult, one. Is this another example of the Neolithic builders deliberately placing obstacles in the way of those who entered the buildings?
Structure Twelve has a deliberately narrowed and angled entrance, and so does Structure Eight.
The pace of events is quickening and we are looking forward to Day Four with real excitement.
Tansy finishes cleaning Structure Eleven. (ORCA)
My name is Heather.
I'm a student from Sydney University, in Australia, having completed a year exchange at Glasgow University, where I found out about the Ness of Brodgar from another student, who volunteered last year.
Cleaning the interior of Structure One. (ORCA)
Being only day three of work, we have succeeded in uncovering the site, removing hundreds of sandbags and stones, and are now completing the cleaning of the site, and all the surfaces, to remove the broken stone and trampled soil from the winter.
My first impressions of the site, even with everything still covered up, was just a sense of excitement at how monumental it was. This was enhanced as all the plastic and stones were removed.
It is a real contrast the last site I worked at – in Romania, Schela Cladovei – a Mesolithic-Neolithic boundary site on the Danube River.
Here, we were working on a single trench, uncovering 50x50cm squares in 5cm spits, and sieving all the soil we removed in order to recover all the smaller finds. Then we got to wash finds sitting in along the Danube in 35°C heat! A slight contrast to the glorious summer weather here in Orkney!
It really is such a privilege to have the opportunity to work here and I am looking forward to following the progress of the season, on the blog, from back home in Sydney!

Le studio Agrafka est un studio de design fondé par les artistes ukrainiens Romana Romanyshyn et Andriy Lesiv. Le studio est spécialisé dans le graphisme, la peinture et le design. Il a remporté des prix internationaux dans le domaine de l'illustration de livres, notamment le Prix international biennal d'illustration et le Prix Ragazzi de Bologne 2018.

Histoire
Romanyshyn et Lesiv ont commencé à travailler dans l'illustration de livres alors qu'ils étaient encore étudiants au Collège d'État des arts décoratifs et appliqués de Lviv de 1999 à 2003. Après avoir obtenu leur diplôme, ils ont reçu une proposition de la maison d'édition  basée à Lviv pour créer la couverture du roman Naive d'Erlend Loe. Le duo a continué à concevoir pour , produisant des dessins généraux pour deux recueils de poésie :  d'Ivan Franko en 2006 et  de Bohdan-Ihor Antonytch en 2008. Leur travail sur  était particulièrement important, car il représentait leur premier travail complet qui englobait la conception, la mise en page et les graphiques.

Romanyshyn et Lesiv ont poursuivi leurs études en design de livres lors d'un stage à Cracovie en 2010 dans le cadre de la bourse Gaude Polonia du ministère polonais de la Culture. Pendant cette période, ils ont travaillé sur la dernière pièce de la lauréate polonaise du prix Nobel Wisława Szymborska, un recueil de poèmes intitulé . La collection a été publiée par BoSz et a reçu les éloges de l'auteur.

En 2011, Agrafka a entrepris son premier projet de livre pour enfants. Produit aux côtés de la maison d'édition Bogdan Textbook, le livre, un conte folklorique ukrainien, a été reconnu comme le meilleur livre au Festival international pour enfants de Lviv, a remporté le Grand Prix du livre pour enfants et a été reconnu dans l'édition 2012 de White Ravens, un concours international catalogue de livres pour enfants. Travaillant à nouveau avec Bogdan Textbook, Agrafka a illustré un autre conte folklorique ukrainien intitulé  en 2012. Le livre a remporté le Lion's Children's Book Award du meilleur art et a été inclus dans White Ravens en 2013.

Dans les années suivantes, Agrafka a coopéré étroitement avec la maison d'édition Old Lion . La maison d'édition a publié quatre livres illustrés par Agrafka :  et  en 2014, et  et  en 2015. En 2015, Old Lion, Agrafka et les auteurs O. Dumanska et G. Tereshchuk ont produit le premier livre d'une série d'encyclopédies alphabétiques qui a remporté le prix du meilleur livre du Forum des éditeurs. L'année suivante, ils ont conçu un supplément à la série qui a également remporté Best Book of the Publishers Forum et a obtenu le titre de Livre de l'année 2016.

Preview: Nuggets vie for the fifth seed in the last game of the season against the Lakers
The Nuggets can get the fifth seed tonight with a win and a Jazz loss
By Asher Levy@asherlevynba Apr 10, 2022, 7:00am MDT
Share All sharing options for: Preview: Nuggets vie for the fifth seed in the last game of the season against the Lakers
The Denver Nuggets are playing against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. Both teams are going to be resting most of their good players tonight as seeding is more than likely locked for the Nuggets. As for the Lakers, they were eliminated from playoff contention a couple of nights ago and now are looking at a long and fickle offseason. The two teams have met twice this season with the Nuggets winning both of those matchups.
The Nuggets will look to end the season on a high note and gain momentum going into the playoffs while also potentially getting Zeke Nnaji and Vlatko Cancar back right before the playoffs. Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are still ruled out, and with that the regular season will end with those two having played nine games combined this regular season.
Who: Denver Nuggets (48-33, 23-17 at home) vs Los Angeles Lakers (32-49, 11-29 on the road)
When: 7:30 PM MST
How to Watch/Listen: NBA League Pass, Altitude TV (If you're lucky enough), or 92.5 FM KKSE Altitude Sports Radio
Rival Blog: Silver Screen and Roll
Zeke Nnaji or Jamychal Green?
Zeke Nnaji has been upgraded to questionable for this game after missing significant time, only appearing in one game since February with a knee injury. Before he got injured he had worked his way into becoming a rotation mainstay and had played himself into normal minutes for the first time in his short career. However, after the injury the Nuggets turned to veteran Jamychal Green who had struggled before but since the trade deadline has had quite the turnaround. He has been better than what he was, but still not perfect. He has still struggled from 3, only shooting 31.8% from 3 since the trade deadline.
The question of the Nuggets bench heading into the playoffs will be whether the Nuggets will play Zeke Nnaji or Jamychal Green as their third big. I personally would lean towards Zeke Nnaji's shooting and defense, but Jamychal Green has been pretty solid for the past couple of months in Zeke's absence.
Who leads the Nuggets?
With the Nuggets likely resting Will Barton, Nikola Jokic, Monte Morris, and Aaron Gordon it will be interesting to see who can lead the Nuggets on the court tonight. Will it be Bones? Can Nuggets fans expect to see him drop a new career high? Maybe, we'll see.
Perimeter Containment and Defense
One of the Nuggets' biggest weaknesses as a team is their lack of perimeter defense, and the frequency at which they allow opposing guards and forwards to drive for easy looks. The Nuggets really need to lock in on that end, and their back court especially. It would be nice to see the Nuggets' reserves lock in tonight.
Highlights: Nikola Jokic records 15th triple-double of the season, 91st of career as Nuggets hold off Pelicans MVP, MVP, MVP!!!
An update on the future of Denver Stiffs Keep the faith.


In good condition, a rare straight pipeback bladed version of the 1796 pattern cavalry officer's sword, a dress sword for either a light cavalry or yeomanry cavalry officer.
A very rare version of the British 1796 pattern stirrup hilted light cavalry officer's sword. This one has a straight 29 3/4 inch pipe backed blade which means it is a dress sword circa 1815. It would either have been worn by a light cavalry or yeomanry cavalry officer, probably during the Napoleonic Wars.
The blade has some damage to it, but we do not believe this could be battle damage. It is slim and very elegant blade, firm in the hilt. The hilt is in very good condition, the ivory grip also very good (some slight losses, many little cracks as you should expect with ivory left to the air for 200 years or so. A lovely looking sword on top of its rarity makes this a very good investment at only £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference I30 (1085).

Dimensional changes of upper airway after rapid maxillary expansion: A prospective cone-beam computed tomography study
Yoon Chang, Lisa J. Koenig, Jessica E. Pruszynski, Thomas G. Bradley, Jose A. Bosio, Dawei Liu
Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery
Introduction: The aim of this prospective study was to use cone-beam computed tomography to assess the dimensional changes of the upper airway in orthodontic patients with maxillary constriction treated by rapid maxillary expansion. Methods: Fourteen orthodontic patients (mean age, 12.9 years; range, 9.7-16 years) were recruited. The patients with posterior crossbite and constricted maxilla were treated with rapid maxillary expansion as the initial part of their comprehensive orthodontic treatments. Before and after rapid maxillary expansion cone-beam computed tomography scans were taken to measure the retropalatal and retroglossal airway changes in terms of volume, and sagittal and cross-sectional areas. The transverse expansions by rapid maxillary expansion were assessed between the midlingual alveolar bone plates at the maxillary first molar and first premolar levels. The measurements of the before and after rapid maxillary expansion scans were compared by using paired t tests with the Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons. Results: After rapid maxillary expansion, significant and equal amounts of 4.8 mm of expansion were observed at the first molar (P = 0.0000) and the first premolar (P = 0.0000) levels. The width increase at the first premolar level (20.0%) was significantly greater than that at the first molar level (15.0%) (P = 0.035). As the primary outcome variable, the cross-sectional airway measured from the posterior nasal spine to basion level was the only parameter showing a significant increase of 99.4 mm2 (59.6%) after rapid maxillary expansion (P = 0.0004). Conclusions: These results confirm the findings of previous studies of the effect of rapid maxillary expansion on the maxilla. Additionally, we found that only the cross-sectional area of the upper airway at the posterior nasal spine to basion level significantly gains a moderate increase after rapid maxillary expansion.
