RACING LEGEND AND BUSINESSMAN JOE AMATO JOINS SALEEN AUTOMOTIVE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS
May 14, 2014 Jim Dvorak
CORONA, Calif., May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Saleen Automotive, Inc. (OTCQB: SLNN), (OTCBB: SLNN) (the "Company"), an American specialty manufacturer of high performance vehicles, technical performance parts, lifestyle accessories and apparel, is pleased to announce that legendary driver and businessman Joe Amato has joined the Board of Directors, effective immediately.
During his two decades as one of Top Fuel's most successful drivers, Joe Amato had an uncanny knack for finding the winner's circle. From his early days in the Pro Comp class through his record five NHRA Winston Top Fuel championships, the affable and popular Pennsylvania businessman seemingly won at will. In addition to his five Winston titles, Amato's résumé includes 52 victories in Top Fuel and another five behind the wheel of an alcohol-fueled dragster. A longtime fan favorite due to his easygoing nature and willingness to interact with the public, Amato competed in 99 final rounds in Top Fuel and won the Budweiser Shootout at Pomona a record six times. He finished in the top 10 an incredible 19 straight years, from 1982 through his sudden retirement at the end of the 2000 campaign.
Amato's success on the dragstrip was paralleled by his achievements in the boardroom. As president of Keystone Automotive Warehouse, he became one of the world's largest distributors of high-performance automotive parts and accessories and was able to parlay that status into a number of successful long-term sponsorships. As a result, his racing efforts were never underfinanced.
"Adding my friend and colleague Joe Amato to our Board of Directors is a historic moment for Saleen Automotive," stated Steve Saleen, CEO, Saleen Automotive. "Joe has accomplished remarkable achievements on and off the track and brings that legacy of success as a contributing member of our board and indeed, a highly valued strategic partner. I very much look forward to utilizing Joe's unique skill set as we execute the Saleen Automotive business plan."
"I'm pleased to join Steve Saleen, his management team, and the members of the Board in a journey to take Saleen Automotive to new heights," stated Amato. "Steve has built a reputation for excellence to which few can compare and I look forward to being a part of this ride as a working member of the Board."

PUBG: New State Getting New Map, Major Updates in 2022
PUBG: New State is getting a new map and the first batch of major updates, publisher Krafton has announced as a part of its New Year message to the community. The South Korean company has also given a sneak peek of the upcoming map ahead of its official debut. PUBG: New State was launched in India and around the world in November as the latest battle royale title for mobile gamers — after PUBG Mobile and India-exclusive Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).
Krafton has released three images to give us a glimpse of the new map that will be launched on PUBG: New State in the middle of 2022. The map appears to have a mix and match of hills and plains as well as modern buildings and a central city tower.

In September 1998, a maintenance crew stumbled upon the remains of a young boy under a billboard in Orange County, North Carolina.
The police were immediately notified and responded to the scene, but for years were unable to identify the boy or make progress on the case.
Now however, with the use of new advanced DNA technology, authorities have finally given the boy a name.
And it gives one Ohio family closure at last.
The young man was Robert "Bobby" Whitt from Ohio, born January 7, 1988.
This solve has been long-in-coming.
"The Orange County Sheriff's Office, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), and the North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office maintained a close collaborative effort over the last 20 years to bring resolution to this case. As a direct result, additional cutting-edge DNA techniques and analysis have been applied over the past few years. Ancestry DNA provided information that the child was first-generation, biracial Caucasian and Asian. DNA results from Parabon also supplied additional probabilities that assisted with the final facial reconstruction produced by NCMEC.
Twitter was relieved to hear Bobby Whitt would finally be getting the justice he deserved.
Whitt's tale is a heartbreaking one…but will perhaps have a happy ending.
Social media users were also grateful to Detective Horne, who dedicated a large swath of his career to identifying and making justice for the deceased young man.
This is so sad that they're just finding out his identity now 😢 I hope he's resting in peace and that his family has closure.
It seems Bobby's story is close to being over.

Q: How to remove or blog prefix in Wordpress I've run my WordPress website for a long time, and recently got hacked. I cleaned everything I could find and started new.
In Wordfence logs I found that someone tried to log in from blog.mywebsite.pl. I figured out that is from my webp. I realized that "blog." prefix is created automatically after wp installation. This "blog." prefix runs as http, so I could get hacked from there. I want to harden my WordPress so I need to know how to block this.
I Googled the issue, but couldn't find any answers. Can someone provide info/links on how to block or remove this blog prefix in my domain/website name?

An example of this change is that additional boxing and wrestling contestants will be required to submit an annual physical for licensure, thus improving safety.
(b) The necessity of the amendment to this administrative regulation: This amendment is necessary in order to keep the KBWC self-sustaining and to continue to ensure proper regulatory oversight is given to the industry, especially the health and safety of contestants. It is also necessary to provide a better understanding of licensure requirements. Prior to this amendment a lot was left to the discretion of the inspectors.
(c) How the amendment conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes: This amendment conforms with KRS 229.171, which grants the Commission authority to control and manage shows and exhibitions. KRS 229.180 also authorizes the Commission to adopt and promulgate, amend or abrogate rules and regulations considered by it necessary or expedient for the performance of its functions provided in KRS 229.

KRS 229.091 subjects all licensees to the administrative regulations promulgated by the Commission.
(d) How the amendment will assist in the effective administrative of the statues: This amendment slightly raises fees (mostly by five to ten dollars) that provide for payment of employees administering KRS Chapter 229 and 201 KAR Chapter 27. It also strengthens requirements that provide for safety of participants intended in KRS Chapter 229.
(3) List the type and number of individuals, businesses, organizations, or state and local governments affected by this administrative regulation: This regulation impacts the KBWC, boxing, kickboxing, professional mixed martial arts, amateur mixed martial arts, wrestling, and elimination event contestants, non-contestants, managers of contestants, and promoters.

(b) On a continuing basis: No Cost.
(6) What is the source of the funding to be used for implementation and enforcement of this administrative regulation? There is no additional net cost associated with the implementation and enforcement of this amendment.

(8) State whether or not this administrative regulation established any fees or directly or indirectly increased any fees: This amendment increases fees.

FEDERAL MANDATE ANALYSIS COMPARISON
1. Federal statute or regulation constituting the federal mandate. 15 U.S.C. 6304; 6305(a), (b)
2. State compliance standards. Those wishing to participate in boxing must submit an application to obtain a boxing identification card that is valid for four years. The boxer must also submit an application for licensure and a physical from a physician who certifies that the boxer is physically fit to compete. Moreover, no boxing match may occur unless a physician is continuously ringside and an ambulance and resuscitation equipment is on-site. Boxers must also be provided with health insurance.
3. Minimum or uniform standards contained in the federal mandate. 15 U.S.C. 6304 requires that every boxer undergo a physical examination and be certified by a physician to be physically fit to compete safely in a match. The law also requires an ambulance or resuscitation equipment to be onsite at all boxing matches and for a physician to be present at ringside. Finally, health insurance is required for each boxer.
15 U.S.C. 6305 requires a boxer to register with the boxing commission in the boxer's state of residence. That state must issue a federal boxing identification card to the boxer.
4. Will this administrative regulation impose stricter requirements, or additional or different responsibilities or requirements, than those required by the federal mandate? No.
5. Justification or the imposition of the stricter standard, or additional or different responsibilities or requirements. Not applicable.
FISCAL NOTE ON STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
1. What units, parts or divisions of state or local government (including cities, counties, fire departments, or school districts) will be impacted by this administrative regulation? The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission.
2. Identify each state or federal statute or federal regulation that requires or authorizes the action taken by the administrative regulation. The statutory authority for this administrative regulation KRS 229.021, 229.071, 229.081, 229.091, 229.171, 229.180, 15 U.S.C. 6305
3. Estimate the effect of this administrative regulation on the expenditures and revenues of a state or local government agency (including cities, counties, fire departments, or school districts) for the first full year the administrative regulation is to be in effect. This amendment will generate around $10,000 in additional revenue in the first full year of implementation.
(a) How much revenue will this administrative regulation generate for the state or local government (including cities, counties, fire departments, or school districts) for the first year? This amendment will generate around $10,000 in additional revenue in the first year of implementation.
(b) How much revenue will this administrative regulation generate for the state or local government (including cities, counties, fire departments, or school districts) for subsequent years? This amendment will generate around $10,000 in additional revenue in subsequent years.
(c) How much will it cost to administer this program for the first year? The KWBC does not anticipate any net change in the cost to administer this program in the first year. The KBWC plans to utilize the additional funds to remain self-sustaining. Moreover, the funds will be used for programs to improve the health and safety of fighters. For example, the KBWC is in the planning stages of a fighter health summit and is studying whether to require tests to establish neurological baselines that may be used if a fighter is suspected of having suffered a head injury.
(d) How much will it cost to administer this program for subsequent years? The KWBC does not anticipate any net change in the cost to administer this program in the first year. The KBWC plans to utilize the additional funds to remain self-sustaining. Moreover, the funds will be used for programs to improve the health and safety of fighters. For example, the KBWC is in the planning stages of a fighter health summit and is studying whether to require tests to establish neurological baselines that may be used if a fighter is suspected of having suffered a head injury.

Exportní garanční a pojišťovací společnost, a.s. (EGAP) je pojišťovna vlastněná Českou republikou. Akcionářská práva vykonává stát, prostřednictvím ministerstva financí.

Služby
EGAP je úvěrovou pojišťovnou se zaměřením na tržně nepojistitelná politická a komerční rizika, spojená s financováním vývozu zboží, služeb a investic z České republiky. Politická rizika mají z pohledu účastníků obchodu povahu vyšší moci. Patří mezi ně například administrativní či legislativní opatření země dlužníka, která mu zabrání ve splácení, nebo také politické události v zemi dlužníka v podobě revolucí, válek, generálních stávek apod. Komerční rizika jsou spojena přímo s dlužníkem a mají podobu platební neschopnosti, nebo odepření zaplacení pohledávky.

EGAP pojišťuje zejména bankovní úvěry se splatností delší než 2 roky, na financování vývozu velkých energetických, strojních a technologických zařízení, investičních celků, dopravních staveb a investic, a to především do zemí, kde politické, ekonomické a právní prostředí přináší větší míru nejistoty a vyšší riziko nezaplacení na straně kupujících.

Působí jako standardní vývozní úvěrová pojišťovna plnící roli státního nástroje na podporu exportu. Pojišťovací služby nabízí všem vývozcům českého zboží, služeb a investic.

Historie
Součástí transformace československé ekonomiky na počátku devadesátých let bylo vytvoření institucí na podporu exportu. Jako první byla v únoru roku 1992 založena Exportní garanční a pojišťovací společnost, a.s. (EGAP).

V roce 1995 byla založena Česká exportní banka, a.s. (ČEB), jako dceřiná společnost EGAP pro zvýhodněné financování vývozních úvěrů. Ve stejném roce byl přijat zákon č. 58/1995 Sb., o pojišťování a financování vývozu se státní podporou. Pojistné fondy pro pojišťování teritoriálních rizik definované tímto zákonem byly postupně doplňovány jednak ze státního rozpočtu, jednak ve stále větší míře z vlastních zdrojů EGAP, čímž se zvyšovala pojistná kapacita.

EGAP se zapojil do činnosti Bernské unie (Mezinárodní unie úvěrových a investičních pojistitelů). V dubnu 1998, po dvouletém období na pozici pozorovatele, se EGAP stal, jako první instituce tohoto typu ze zemí střední a východní Evropy, jejím řádným členem. Zároveň se EGAP jako reprezentant ČR zapojil do práce Konsenzu OECD s cílem dosáhnout členství ve skupině účastníků, tj. tzv. Participantů. Členem skupiny Participantů se ČR stala v roce 2001. Tyto aktivity umožnily přístup k rozsáhlým databázím informací a výměnu zkušeností s partnerskými zahraničními institucemi.

Ve dnech 14.–18. 10. 2002 se v Praze uskutečnilo výroční zasedání Bernské unie. EGAP byl první úvěrovou pojišťovnou ze zemí střední a východní Evropy, která se stala hostitelem takového zasedání.

1. května 2004 se Česká republika stala členem Evropské unie. Tím se změnilo postavení vůči Konsensu OECD. Zatímco dříve byla ČR prostřednictvím EGAP samostatným členem, dnes je ve stejné pozici jako ostatní členské země EU, které jsou na jednání a rozhodování Konsensu reprezentovány Evropskou komisí. Společná stanoviska členských zemí EU pro jednání participantů Konsensu se vytvářejí na pravidelných koordinačních poradách v Bruselu.

Dceřiná společnost KÚP
V lednu roku 2005 rozhodla valná hromada EGAP o založení dceřiné společnosti a převedení komerčního pojištění krátkodobých pohledávek do její působnosti. Dceřiná společnost zahájila činnost 1. října 2005 pod obchodním názvem Komerční úvěrová pojišťovna EGAP, a.s. (KÚP). Založení dceřiné společnosti bylo reakcí na zpřísněná pravidla EU požadující transparentní oddělení pojištění se státní podporou od komerčních aktivit.

18. dubna 2007 schválila vláda ČR vítězný návrh na prodej 66% podílu EGAP v Komerční úvěrové pojišťovně belgickou úvěrové pojišťovně Ducroire–Delcredere SA. N.V. a italské úvěrové pojišťovně SACE BT SpA v rámci veřejného výběrového řízení. Proces vstupu těchto pojišťoven do KÚP byl formálně ukončen převzetím 66% balíku akcií 11. října 2007. O dva roky později přešel většinový podíl výhradně na Ducroire–Delcredere SA. N.V. V roce 2010 byla KÚP přejmenována na KUPEG úvěrová pojišťovna, a.s. a v listopadu 2016 EGAP odprodal svůj vlastnický podíl v KUPEG pojišťovně Ducroire–Delcredere SA. N.V., která se tak stala stoprocentním majitelem KUPEG.

Why is Tony Finau looking at the hole while he's putting at the Masters?
By: Luke Kerr-Dineen April 10, 2021
Finau looks at the hole during his entire stroke.
Masters.com
Welcome to a special weekend Masters edition of Play Smart, a game-improvement column from Director of Game Improvement content Luke Kerr-Dineen to help you play smarter, better golf.
An idea with some real scientific merit behind it that has yet to make its way into golf's mainstream is a concept called "heads up putting." Before this week, Jordan Spieth had been the only golfer who used it, and that was a relatively short-lived experiment.
Heads-up putting is exactly that. It's when you look at the hole, rather than the golf ball, while you putt. Renowned golf biomechanist Sasho Mackenzie published a wide-ranging study on the technique and found it improved most golfers' putting. But, alas, heads up putting looks kind of weird, so there hasn't been widespread adoption yet.
"Most are very dismissive, but by the end of the study when we show them, 'Look, you actually putted better looking at the far target,' … many of them will convert," MacKenzie told Canadian outlet CBC.
Perhaps Finau could single-handedly change that perception this week.

— Jim Agger (@aggerj) March 15, 2015
Finau has been tinkering with both his putting technique (swapping his claw grip for a left-hand low style) and his equipment this season. But coming into the 2021 Masters 88th in SG: Putting, Finau still wasn't pleased. So the day before the Masters, in consultation with GOLF Top 100 Teacher Boyd Summerhays, he adopted the "heads up" technique.
"On Wednesday, the putter didn't feel great in my hands," Finau told our Dylan Dethier, who's been producing a slew of great work from Augusta all week, after his second-round 66.
"I didn't feel as free as I wanted, so my coach just said, 'Well, why don't you just look at the hole.' I started doing that, and it just started bleeding right into the tournament. I didn't have a game plan for it but it seems to have freed me up."

— LKD (@LukeKerrDineen) April 8, 2021
It's all very feel-based, Finau says, adding that he doesn't have a set plan for when he'll go heads-up. It's all based on comfort level, and he doesn't do it on every putt. When he does, it's usually on shorter putts, the area which Finau is trying to improve.
"The closer we get to the hole, especially as professionals, we expect to make those five, six, seven foot putts," he says.
And so far, he has.
Finau leads the field in putts per green in regulation through two rounds, and is squarely in contention coming into the weekend. If he's lucky, he may soon be getting a first-hand look at the ball going into the hole for the win this Sunday.

Spidey is back! But not quite as you know him.
Fish December 10, 2018 Movie Reviews
The best movie of the year and the best Spider-Man movie yet. Period.
I actually wasn't too keen to see this film. Although Spider-man is easily one of my favourite superheros, he's had a bit of a rough run over with Sony of late. After Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 delivered us a sub-par Venom and an emo, dancing Peter Parker, we were given the a reboot that nobody wanted and then an awkward deal with Marvel Pictures saw Spider-Man arrive in the MCU. And that wasn't too bad, but it's not really the Spider-Man that I've come to know and love. So when I saw that Sony were releasing an animated Spider-Man feature, I just took it as a last ditch effort to make a little bit of money based on the brand. But how wrong I was.
In an attempt to stop the Kingpin's latest dastardly plan, Spider-Man breaks up the flow of a machine that apparently has connections to other planes of existence. A young Miles Morales (who was also bitten by a radioactive spider, its a whole thing) just happens to be in the right place to witness this throwdown. But then some weird things start happening, he starts meeting other versions of Spider-Man from other dimensions. They all must team up to bring down the Kingpin before he destroys all multi-verses, or Spider-Verses! But can Miles learn to control his powers in time?
What you'll notice is that this isn't your typical Spider-Man origin story. Sure we've got a new, young Spidey to follow in Miles Morales, but it isn't the same old tired origin ie. Uncle Ben dying, with great power comes great responsibility… etc. The movie knows that, and they make fun of it. Every time we meet a new Spider-Man type, they joke 'Ok, for the last time,' before giving a quick, montage back-story. It's brilliant.
Now bringing an ensemble of superheros together has proven to be a really good idea (Avengers) or a really, really bad idea (Justice League). But how do you bring a bunch of basically-the-same characters together? With great writing. And that's my highest praise for Spider-Verse, is that it is perfectly written. Just like a good comic book, it doesn't feel watered down by Hollywood. Although it may seem complicated, it's simplified in a way that everything makes sense. And all the versions of Spider-Man are just great, whether it be Spider-Man Noir with his trench coat and monologues, Spider-Pig or the anime style Peni Parker, I love them all and now want to go read all the comic runs of every character.
It's so much fun to go on this road to discovery with Miles Morales, but they've played a really smart move by inserting a version of Peter Parker in here to keep us grounded to the original concept that we're all so familiar with. Although it is a down and out Peter Parker, from a universe where he has struck out with MJ and is basically a bum. And who better to voice this guy, then Jake Johnson of New Girl fame. A match made in heaven.
Funnily enough the thing that makes this movie work so well, is the thing that had me hesitant from the start. The animation is perfect. Absolutely outstanding. I saw this at an IMAX and I was just blown away by how incredible every sequence jumped off the screen. Truly like a comic book come to life. This story would never have worked in live action, it would have just looked silly, but with such an amazing art style, this will show you just how magical animation can be.
So as I said, as far as Spider-Man movies go, this is the best of the bunch. It's so great to see Spider-Man back on top, I was starting to lose faith in my old buddy. I can't recommend this movie enough.

Father Michael Schmitz tackles some of the most difficult topics in the Church today.

Brandon Lloyd is using his time during the lockout to make music and sell specialty metals to companies.
When it comes to life as an NFL wide receiver, Brandon Lloyd has it made.
He made the Pro Bowl last year after a 77-catch, 1,448-yard season and has enjoyed all the perks that come with it. Respect from his peers, who recently voted him the league's 58th-best player in a countdown on the NFL Network; media accolades and newfound fame locally.
Yet, when Lloyd imagines his identity, he sees himself quite differently. He sees a musician, a writer and a businessman trying to achieve the type of breakthrough in those arenas that he had on the football field last year.
Lloyd's status as a professional football player has always helped him get face time with music executives. But he has also found his football life has caused problems producing his music and vice versa. He said in previous football stops, notably in Washington, coaches and local media used his outside interests as a reason his production (25 catches in two seasons) didn't match his $11 million salary.
The flip side, he said, is music-industry insiders tend not to take him seriously.
Lloyd's lyrics include references to football — to catching touchdowns and signing contracts — and fame, as well as relationships. He likes to incorporate rock and metal elements, with strong bass lines and guitar riffs, which makes sense because his two favorite songs of all time are by Elvis Presley ("Kentucky Rain") and Metallica ("Unforgiven").
"My tastes are not wrapped up in hip-hop," Lloyd said.
The NFL lockout, which will hit the three-month mark next week, has led Lloyd to taking another job this summer. Through an acquaintance he met in Denver, Lloyd has started working in sales for Re-Steel Supply Company, based in Commerce City, that supplies specialty metals for the aerospace industry.
It's the first "real job" of Lloyd's life, save for a short stint at Taco Bell when he was in high school near Kansas City.
Lloyd's new gig has him on the road a lot, doing business at steel mills and technology plants. He is also enrolled this week in a two-day course at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla.
But don't fear, Broncos fans. Lloyd hasn't abandoned the game.
He spent time late last month in Jacksonville, Fla., to work out with quarterback Tim Tebow and fellow Broncos receivers Jabar Gaffney and Britt Davis. Lloyd said more such sessions are planned. He also had breakfast with new wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert in late April, during the brief window in which the lockout was lifted.
Though Lloyd has spent much of his offseason in Denver, he has not attended the conditioning workouts hosted by veteran safety Brian Dawkins. Lloyd said he prefers to stay in shape ("I've got to stay lean") his own way, going on trail runs with his Doberman pinscher, Oscar, hiking, practicing yoga and playing tennis and golf.
Lloyd isn't about to predict what sort of statistics he'll be able to achieve this year, if there is football, but he hopes that one key number will change: wins.

Der Knittelvers ist ursprünglich ein deutsches Versmaß, das vor allem im 15. bis frühen 17. Jahrhundert in aller Regel in der nicht gesungenen, sowohl lyrischen, epischen als auch dramatischen Dichtung Verwendung fand, und heißt übersetzt "Reimvers" (knittel heißt im Frühneuhochdeutschen "Reim"). Wegen seiner vermeintlichen Unregelmäßigkeit wurde er bisweilen auch abschätzig "Knüttelvers" genannt (nach knüttel für "Knüppel, Keule"). In den (lateinisch verfassten) Verslehren der Zeit hieß er Usitatissimus ("der allergebräuchlichste [Vers]"). Es ist eine irrige Annahme, dass der Knittelvers nach dem Zisterzienserabt Benedikt Knittel (1650–1732) benannt sei.

Form
Die einzige Vorschrift für den Knittelvers bestand darin, dass immer zwei aufeinanderfolgende Zeilen sich reimen müssen (Paarreim). Man unterscheidet seit Andreas Heuslers dreibändiger Deutscher Versgeschichte (1925–1929) zwischen dem strengen Knittelvers, der (je nach Kadenz) aus 8 oder 9 Silben pro Verszeile besteht, und dem freien Knittelvers, der in der Silbenzahl variieren darf.

Entgegen einer lange gepflegten Auffassung war der Knittelvers im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert weder vierhebig noch füllungsfrei noch in alternierendem Rhythmus geschrieben. Dieses Missverständnis geht auf eine veränderte Handhabe des Knittelverses durch Goethe und seine Zeitgenossen zurück. Man zählte nun – gemäß der Prosodie des Neuhochdeutschen – nicht mehr Silben wie noch im Frühneuhochdeutschen (nach dem Vorbild französischer Metrik), sondern – gemäß der Opitz'schen Versreform – Hebungen. Der strenge Knittelvers wurde entsprechend umgebaut zu einem alternierenden jambischen Vierheber. Daraus sich ergebende Unregelmäßigkeiten in Rhythmus und Verslänge führten zum Konzept der Füllungsfreiheit. Dieses Prinzip der Füllungsfreiheit nun rückwirkend auch auf den frühneuhochdeutschen Knittelvers anzuwenden, wäre allerdings unsinnig, da ein silbenzählendes Metriksystem keine metrisch relevanten Akzente, also keine Hebungen und Senkungen kennt.

Der auf diese Weise entstandene neuhochdeutsche Knittelvers, wie er z. B. in Goethes Faust zur Anwendung kommt, hat sich jedoch als eigenes Versmaß in der deutschen Metrik etabliert. Im Unterschied zum alten Knittelvers sind in ihm zudem nicht nur der Paarreim, sondern auch Kreuzreim, Schweifreim, umarmender Reim, sogenannte "Waisen" und andere Reimformen erlaubt.

Verwendung
Im 15./16. Jahrhundert war der Knittelvers das übliche Versmaß im Drama, in den (damals noch versifizierten) erzählenden Dichtungen (siehe Versepos) und in nicht gesungenen, meist didaktischen oder satirischen Gedichten. (In gesungener Lyrik hingegen waren relativ freie Strophen- und Versformen üblich, die in den später so benannten Madrigalvers eingingen.) Früh verwendet wurde der Knittelvers von dem Nürnberger Fastnachtspieldichter Hans Rosenplüt (1400–1460). In Sebastian Brants (1457–1521) satirischem Lehrgedicht Das Narrenschiff (1494) und in den Werken Hans Sachs' (1494–1576) und Johann Fischarts (1546–1590) herrscht der strenge Knittelvers vor.

Die Dichter des Barocks bekämpften die ihrer Meinung nach kunstlose Form des Knittelverses, woraufhin der Knittelvers für längere Zeit fast nur noch in volkstümlicher Dichtung oder scherzhaften Werken Verwendung fand. Dies änderte sich erst wieder mit dem Sturm und Drang, als sich Autoren bewusst von klassischen Vorbildern ab- und deutschen Formen zuwandten. Klassisch geworden ist die Verwendung des Knittelverses in Goethes Faust, wo er die altdeutsche Kulisse des Fauststoffes illustriert. Seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wird der Knittelvers kaum noch, und wenn, dann fast ausschließlich für komische Dichtung verwendet. Entsprechend häufig ist er z. B. in Büttenreden zu finden. Theodor Fontane jedoch benutzte ihn in seinen späteren Jahren als Zeichen einer einfachen, inhaltsbetonenden Lyrik ohne Pomp und auf Grund der Freiheit seiner Füllung. Die wohl bekannteste Dichtung allein in Knittelversen ist Hugo von Hofmannsthals Jedermann.

Beispiele
Beispiel für den strengen Knittelvers:
Eins abents spat da schaut ich aus
zu eim fenster in meinem haus,
darvor sah ich ein ungestalten,
eineugig zerhaderten alten
mit einem großen weiten maul
halten auf einem ackergaul.
Hans Sachs, Beginn von Hans Unfleiß

Beispiel für den freien Knittelvers:
Auch lasst euch gar nicht diß betrüben
Wenn der schreckliche grimmende brüllende Löw wird einher schieben.
Andreas Gryphius, Absurda Comica oder Herr Peter Squenz

Santorum slams Romney on contraception mandate for rape victims
CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash
St. Charles, Missouri (CNN) - Rick Santorum opened a new front Tuesday in his battle to paint Mitt Romney as moderate who sided with Democrats on key issues, accusing the former Massachusetts governor of mandating that hospitals provide emergency contraception to rape victims.
In an op-ed Tuesday, Santorum said that in December 2005, then Gov. Romney "required all Massachusetts hospitals, including Catholic ones, to provide emergency contraception to rape victims."
Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
"He said then that he believed 'in his heart of hearts' that receiving these contraceptives – free of charge – trumped employees' religious consciences. Now, a few years later and running for president, his heart is strategically aligned with religious voters opposing this federal mandate," wrote Santorum in Politico.
Opponents point to a law passed while Romney was governor of Massachusetts that required hospitals - including Catholic ones - to provide emergency contraception to rape victims.
A spokeswoman for the Romney campaign said he had vetoed the original bill. That veto was overruled by the state legislature.
Romney Communications Director Gail Gitcho pointed to the context that comes from the full "heart of hearts" quote.
"My personal view, in my heart of hearts, is that people who are subject to rape should have the option of having emergency contraception or emergency contraception information," Romney said in 2005, according to Gitcho.
Santorum argued that move by Romney is similar to what President Obama's administration "decreed," "that all employers, including Catholic and other religious employers, who offer health insurance to their employees, must offer sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception."
"The actions of President Obama – as well as the actions of then Governor Romney – raise some questions. From where do we receive our fundamental human rights? Are they given to us by the government–whether that government be State or Federal? Or, as the American Founders insisted, are these rights endowed upon us by a Creator?" wrote Santorum.
"It's important to me that we don't just talk a good game, but that we actually live it" he said. "I believe it is important to defend our religious liberties because these organizations are on the frontlines of helping those in need."
Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul characterized attacks from the right as "wrong."
"On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will eliminate the Obama administration rule that compels religious institutions to violate the tenets of their own faith," Saul said in a statement. "We expect these attacks from President Obama and his liberal friends. But from Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, it's a clear indication of desperation from their campaigns."
The former Pennsylvania senator is hoping strong showings in Tuesday's contests in Missouri and Minnesota will prove his argument that he, not Newt Gingrich, is the conservative alternative to Romney. He is also hoping a win in either state will symbolically slow the momentum and air of inevitability Romney has gained since winning two consecutive contests Florida and Nevada.
Government mandates on contraception is just the latest example Santorum is using to argue Romney is too moderate and ill positioned to be the GOP nominee.
Monday Santorum made the case that Romney is "not qualified" to be the GOP nominee because the health care law he helped craft in Massachusetts has an individual mandate, similar to what is in the president's health care law, making it impossible for Republicans to hit Obama on that issue during the general election. Santorum said it also proves Romney is not a real conservative.

Only the Catholic Church could be so evil as to stop a rape victim from preventing a pregnancy. Oh wait, this policy is probably also the same one enforced by the Taliban!

They dont want to let women have contraception, and they certainly dont want to allow abortions. Who do they think they are? It is absolutely barbaric. The really scary thing is these guys will have control of our country if a few things go their way. They will never control our bodies though. They are too dumb to realize that making laws will not give them that kind of control over others. Puritanical equals control freaks equals punative equals many, many Republicans.
mommytwice
I wonder how Mr. Santorum would feel if a female member of his family was raped(heaven forbid), and ended up pregnant by that rapist. I wonder if he would be so against emergency contraception then. I bet he'd be all for it.
A hospital does not have the right to force its religious views on its patients. Period. If Catholic hospitals don't like this, then they should only admit Catholic patients.
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney both need to educat themselfs in regards to birth control .
We no longer live in a Little House on the Prairie Waltons world.
If a Democrat was stupid enough to take Santorum's position the Grand Old Tea Party would be in front of every news camera and microphone denouncing them for "Siding with RAPISTS!"
Shows you what an absolute monster Santorum is. He would make an excellent Taliban leader.
pensimmon
They only have to offer it- NO-ONE needs to have one if they don't want to. I can't imagine a 12 year old rape visctim being forced to be pregnant- cruel cruel cruel.
Rick Santorum is stuck in a time warp.
Sanatorium is a pig.... Plain and simple.
MidwstrnGrl
In most cases the emergency pill is if taken early enough preventing fertilization, or if taken within a couple days preventing implementation of a fertilized egg. Some forms of birth control do this...in fact these are just a high dose of hormones. Get real people!!
Hey, if Catholic hospitals don't want to play by the government's rules, they don't have to accept government funds. If they turn down the Medicare and Medicaid patients they can do whatever they want. Simple.
I say, I do declare, that all the GOP has got to offer is fear. Well, me and my above 98% quotient folk will be voting for OBAMA/BIDEN. Ya'll, I said, you all, have a nice evening. 🙂
Science?
No contraception to prevent 2 cells from implanting? Let's take it a step further ... what about those hundreds of millions of wasted sperm and thousands of eggs (all containing human life) that never get used!!! Think of the loss!
Santorum is Desperate
boy oh boy is Santo looking desperate. He brings up a bill Romney VETOED, LMBO!!!!!
Separation of church and state has nothing to do with politics,yet it seems to be a key issue this election
Just like Hitler, Santorum wants rapists have large families!!! Who cares what the Goods and Chattels think.
Charlie from the North
Wow take one thing the guy got right and complain about it. Here is and Idea and a darn fine one at that: Church/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////State,
Good enough for Thomas Jefferson, good enough for us.
Donaldbain
Santorum doesn't want to turn the clock back to the 50's, it's more like the 30's. Nineteen thirty-three to be exact. As I have said in the past, he doesn't care about anything except having power. Any kind of power will do at this point. His real agenda is that of the national socialists except he would rather exterminate muslims and get around to the Jews later. His vision for the US is exceptionally frightening and he should be kept as far away from being in authority as possible.
How many of these right to lifers have adopted children that others did not want?
Oh and by the way. The GOP goes on and on about how our way of life is so much better than the Extreme Muslims, If we do have a "better" culture it is no thanks to them. This guys attitude towards rape victims is only slightly better than stoning them for the "dishonor they bring". The Tea Party/GOP building a tunnel to the 15th century..........let the inquisition begin.
I hope Santorum DOES get the republican election.
Because if he does, Obama will UNANIMOUSLY slide into to a second term.
Paul Williamson
Ricj Santorum should financially support all the children from these tragic, unwanted pregnancies-put his money where his mouth is. Ths A..hole wants to cut aid to dependent children, Medicaid, food stamps, etc yet he does not want the families to be able to prevent an unwanted child that they have no money to feed, care for or educate. What a hypocrite. Let each woman and family make their own decision, without a church or Government interfering in her choice. Freedom and liberty, not Puritanism and Inquisition. Without planned parenthood, we would have 50 million more unwanted children (1/6 of the population of US and 1 out 3 children), most born to the poor who cannot support them and will require Government support, which of course Santorum opposes.
Joe citizen abroad
Is he running for pope or president?
This guy frightens me; What does he want the rape victims to do? Will he advocate the same when some one in his family gets raped?

Blake Shelton Says It's 'Embarrassing' That Gwen Stefani Won't Let Him See Friends Amid Pandemic
Videos Of Police Precinct In Minneapolis On Fire To Seek Justice for George Floyd Has Twitter Reacting
People are outraged after the murder of George Floyd due to his race at the hands of a white police officer Derek Chauvin was caught on video. They have taken to the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota where it happened, to show that this act of racism will not be tolerated by the community. They will not be silenced.
#PressPlay: Here's a closer look of a protestor going live in front of the #Minneapolis precinct that's been set on fire tonight. Please stay safe #Roommates! #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #RIPGeorgeFloyd
A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on May 28, 2020 at 8:57pm PDT
Minneapolis Police Precinct set on fire
When the video of the police officer with his knee placed right on Floyd's neck for eight minutes surfaced on the internet, it sent shockwaves to the black community who have been dealing with the unlawful killing of black man Ahmaud Arbery.

You can hear Floyd in the video saying "Please, I can't breathe." Floyd's family called for the arrests of all of the officers involved in his death. They encouraged peaceful protests. However, his brother spoke to CNN saying "I can't stop people right now because they have pain. They have the same pain that I feel. I want everything to be peaceful but I can't make everybody be peaceful. It's hard."
Do you understand how much heinous sh!t had to have happened in order for protesters to set fire to the closed 3rd precinct and then light fireworks? Can you even begin to understand that much pain and anger?? 😑 #GeorgeFloyd #Minneapolisprotests #minneapolis pic.twitter.com/9DVullWvh9
— whisperwatch (@whisperwatch) May 29, 2020
Floyd himself was an activist that was fighting for change and peace for the black community. Now, people are left wondering why such a brutally violent act had to take place in order for the state of Minnesota to recognize that the issue of racism is very present in their community.

When people ask you why the people in Minneapolis are acting out. Show them this video.

People are tired of seeing black men dying. The protests are an attempt to show that justice needs to be served. Especially in this case after each of the members of the police precinct involved in the murder were not immediately fired.
This is an extremely important question and has been for a very, very, very, long time?! What is the phone number of the @FBI ? #GeorgeFloyd #MinneapolisPolice #Minneapolisprotests pic.twitter.com/sdoWZtKY80
— Captain Trips (@magwitch5151) May 29, 2020
The four officers involved in Floyd's death have finally been fired, and protesters gathered around Chauvin's home. They wrote the word "murderer" in his driveway. A federal investigation is underway to determine if any of the officers will face any charges.

Chenay (79) - Character house with swimming pool in a quiet hamlet between Lezay and Lusignan.
A beauty by name... and nature!
The town of Celles sur Belle is not only a beauty by name, but also by its nature. Classified as little city of character, the town is indeed very attractive, with its ancient Abbey and listed church. Celles sur Belle stands on the River Belle, and is located in western France, in the rural Deux-Sèvres department of Poitou-Charentes.
The town was originally built as an extension to the Abbey, for which Celles sur Belle is best known today. The town is full of character and appeal, yet has all amenities required for a comfortable modern lifestyle. The central square, which forms the hub of local life, has shops, a bar, a restaurant and an auberge. In summer, the town is filled with the bustle of tourists, and even in winter there is a great spirit and vitality to Celles sur Belle.
Celles sur Belle has its Abbey and church as prime places of interest, and not far from the town there are many more places to go. The cities of Niort and Poitiers have lots to recommend them, and if you are travelling with kids then Futuroscope at Poitiers is a great place to spend a day. The seaside is also close to hand, and the busy port of La Rochelle or the beautiful island Île de Ré are easily accessed. For something different, why not experience the Green Venice of the Deux-Sèvres, the Marais Poitevin, where little canals and inland waterways criss-cross the countryside and offer a unique opportunity to enjoy the natural bounty of this region.
The sporty minded among you will have no difficulty getting your activity fix in the area around Celles sur Belle. There is golf at Niort, go-karting at St Sauvent, canoeing and kayaking at Lusignan with tennis, horse-riding, cycling, swimming and walking just about everywhere!
There are two airports within a very short distance of Celles sur Belle. These are found at La Rochelle and Poitiers. Ryanair flies to both of these, and flybe and easyJet also serve La Rochelle. If you are driving, you can follow the A120 motorway, and if driving from the Channel tunnel, allow around seven hours for travelling. If you are travelling by Eurostar to Paris, you can change to a TGV there and arrive at either Poitiers or Niort, both of which are less than three quarters of an hour's journey from Celles sur Belle.
In general, the prices in the Deux-Sèvres are very reasonable, although they are beginning to rise as the region increases in popularity. Celles sur Belle is a very appealing town which offers a great quality of life, peaceful and rural without being too isolated, and has a varied and interesting property market.
Do you know Celles sur Belle better than we do? Do you have photos of Celles sur Belle?
WHERE IS Celles sur Belle?
Celles sur Belle is located in the west of France. It lies in the south of the Deux-Sèvres department.
Access: By air: Fly to La Rochelle or Poitiers. By boat: The nearest ferry ports are those of Caen and Cherbourg. By rail: Eurostar runs to Paris then you can take a TGV to Niort or Poitiers. By road: The town lies off the A10 motorway.
Economy: The economy is rural with tourism a recent feature.
Interesting fact: There are said to be some ancient "standing stones" just outside the town.

The First Ever Gynoid Is Now Complete At Last!
Filed to: MetropolisFiled to: Metropolis
The science fiction movie Holy Grail has appeared: the missing sections of Fritz Lang's Metropolis turned up in Buenos Aires. We can finally see what the classic gynoid-led worker uprising movie is really about. Up to a quarter of the movie has been missing since it was butchered for its early screenings in 1927, leaving huge gaps in the movie's storyline and logical jumps that make no sense.
The Museo del Cine Pablo C. Ducros Hicken in Buenos Aires found the 16 mm negatives, which include the character of Georgy in his "reduced" state, a character named Slim and his transformation into an apocalypse-preaching monk, and a car journey through the city of Metropolis. Just in time for the no-doubt-ridiculous remake to start work, we can finally see what the original Metropolis was about. A lot of stuff that made no sense in the edited version now actually makes sense. The only question is, will Giorgio "Love To Love You Baby" Moroder write a new score for the missing parts, to go with the score he already wrote in 1984? [Murnau-Sifting, thanks tynansanger]
