THANK GOD FOR WEEZER
Skye Remko, Staff Writer
More than one year removed from the music industry, Weezer has once again astounded me and others with their amazing sound. On October 26, the band released a single called "Thank God for Girls." This is very different from the songs that they normally sing. Some fans are even saying that it sounds like the song is a cover from the original. In fact, there seem to be four dominating opinions on this new song. The first is "I hate change, so I hate this song." Others are saying things along the lines of, "I am a man who hates girls, so this is offensivem" or "I am a woman who has no sense of humor, so I also find this offensive." And finally the minority opinion (and mine) is that the change is amazing. The song has a very Twenty-One Pilots vibe to it's that very vibe that is bringing a new type of awesome to their music. As an extreme Twenty-One Pilots fan, I love that the new song is like so many other songs that have become my favorites. Many fans like me are amazed that Weezer, founded in 1992, is now over 20 years old, so a change in sound was long overdue. The change sound astounded me so much that I had to do a double take to see if it was really Weezer. And it really is; this band took a yearlong break from releasing music, and they certainly did not disappoint me.

HARVEST GLEANINGS III
New York American, March 13, 1911
MORE DEAD FLIES IN THE PRECIOUS OINTMENT
Not long ago I pointed out that the last twelve verses of St. Mark's Gospel in our Common Version are spurious so recognized by all scholars, because these verses are not to be found in any of the oldest Greek manuscripts and were evidently added to the Word of God in the seventh century or later. Moreover, we gave proofs of the untruthfulness of this addition. Is it true that whoever believes the Gospel of Christ may handle serpents with impunity and may drink deadly poison without harm? Surely not. It is nothing short of a sin for those who know better to acknowledge these verses and to use them to bolster up theories of Divine Healing. It is as much a crime to add to the Word of God as to take away from it.
Today I invite attention to some other dead flies, some other additions to God's Word, which have had much to do with twisting the theology once delivered to the saints. Take, for instance, the closing words of the Lord's Prayer:
THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND POWER AND GLORY
These words, if uttered by our Lord, should be found in the old Greek MSS But they are not found therein. They are, therefore, to be rejected as additions made by people centuries after Matthew's Gospel was written. These words were introduced when the faith of the Church respecting the Kingdom of Messiah was changed or changing from what it was originally. All through the New Testament the second Coming of Christ in power and glory to establish His Kingdom and to glorify the church, His Bride, is set for the end of this Gospel Age. But as the time grew long a change of sentiment came into the Church. It became popular and rich. Its bishops were respected. Finally the theory prevailed that God did not intend to delay the establishment of the Kingdom until the Second Coming of Christ, but did intend to establish it in the hands of the Church during this Age and to use the church for the conquering of the world and the fulfilling of all the promises of the past.
In line with this the most prominent bishop of the time was recognized as Divinely appointed to represent Christ in the world and to reign over the nations in His stead and to bring about the Millennium, etc. This was the Bishop of Rome, who subsequently was styled the Pope and who claimed and was accorded the honorable title, "Vice-gerant of the Son of God." It is said that the equivalent of this title to this day is worn by the Pope on his tiara or three-crowned hat Vicarius Filii Dei.
Thus the change came in the general sentiment of the "Christian world." Messiah's Kingdom was no longer to be looked for as coming, but was to be recognized as here. The Pope, as Messiah's reigning representative, was to be acknowledged. All Kingdoms that were to honor and obey Messiah were commanded to honor and obey the Pope. The various prophecies which tell of Messiah's Kingdom glory were applied to the Pope, and are still so applied.
As Messiah was to ride forth conquering the world and "wound the heads over many peoples," so the Popes in succession sought to do, to fulfil these prophecies. As the inauguration of Messiah's Kingdom is promised to be in the midst of a time of great trouble, it was not thought improper that Papacy should cause great trouble in the world in its endeavor to establish itself as the Kingdom of Messiah. As whosoever would not receive Messiah was to be "destroyed from amongst the people," it was not considered wrong to destroy those who rejected and opposed the Papal Kingdom and to give them to the burning flame.
THY KINGDOM COME ON EARTH
The Lord's prayer was already in the Scriptures, and was known to many. It could not be eliminated. But some zealous person, fully believing that God's Kingdom had come, felt justified in amending the prayer to correspond to what he supposed were the facts. Hence the prayer which begins, "Thy Kingdom come," is made to end by saying, "Thy Kingdom has come in its glory and power," Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever! [HGL474] If Papacy is the Kingdom of Messiah, it is certainly not what the Jews expected. It is certainly not what we expected. It is certainly not what the masses of mankind had any reason to expect, although it is so accepted by the majority of Christendom.
Although our protesting forefathers broke away from the Pope and denounced him as Anti-Christ and declared that he falsely sat in the place of Christ without authority, they, nevertheless, were imbued with the same error. They did not think to go back to the message of the Scriptures and to look for the Son of God to set up His Kingdom at His Second Advent and then to bless Israel and the world through His glorified Church. Instead they held to the Papal theory that God's Kingdom was set up and was conquering the world, and that thus the Messianic reign mentioned in the prophecy is being fulfilled. They hold that Christ Himself is the invisible King, but that the Pope is not authorized to represent him. Hence this spurious addition to the Word of God is as acceptable to Protestants as to Catholics; indeed more so, if we may judge by the fact that the Catholic Bible omits the spurious words, while the Protestant Bible quotes them.
We here remark that according to Protestant theory Messiah's Kingdom is represented in the civilized nations of the world, especially of Europe. These all claim to reign "by the grace of God," in which case, of course, wars and battles between them are conflicts between the various parts of Messiah's Kingdom. And present military preparations on land and sea portend a most sanguinary conflict between these "kingdoms of this world," which think themselves and are called by Christendom "kingdoms of God." (Remember, this is a sermon of seven years ago.)
How glad we are to see the Truth on this subject; that the Kingdom of God's dear Son has not yet been set up, in any sense of the word that it is still future. It cannot be set up until this Gospel Age ends and the "elect" saintly few of every nation Jew and Gentile shall be changed from earthly to heavenly nature by the First Resurrection, which will qualify them to be "kings and priests unto God and unto Christ and to reign with Him a thousand years." (Rev. 20:6)
It is well that all Bible students should mark this "fly" and extract it from the Precious Ointment, and notice how much sweeter and fresher the Lord's prayer is to them forever.
OH, WHAT A WHOPPER
Thomas Paine was an enemy to the Bible and to the Christian religion, but largely so, we believe, on account of his poor understanding of it. And his misunderstanding of the Bible was largely due to the false doctrines handed down from the "Dark Ages" purporting to be Biblical. Who cannot sympathize with the great infidel, Thomas Paine, who, when reading the last verse of St. John's Gospel, exclaimed, "O, what a whopper!" It reads, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written" (John 21:25).
Surely any one of reasoning mind should see the absurdity of such a statement. Surely all Christian ministers should have informed the Lord's sheep under their care respecting what is and what is not the Word of God, the Bible, as it was recognized by the Apostolic church and written down in the original Greek manuscripts. Why any Christian minister should assail me because I endeavor to do for the people what he had neglected to do, I cannot understand. I must leave it to the Lord to judge between us. I am informed that hundreds of ministers went to the Editors of the papers which publish my sermons weekly and endeavored to have them discontinue their publication.
But the Editors perceive that their readers are no longer under the bondage of the "Dark Ages," but have begun to think for themselves, and that many of them are hungering and thirsting for the Truth respecting the Bible the Christian's spiritual food and drink. To the claim that many read my sermons instead of going to Church the answer is, that Pastor Russell is preaching to the non-church-going ten millions who are in the majority and that it behooves the ministers to provide for their people the spiritual food for which they are famishing, if they would not lose them all.
ANOTHER BIG FLY
To the credit of such men as Luther, Calvin, Knox, Zwingli, Wesley and others, living prior to our day, we must explain that they had no opportunity for knowing of the spurious passages of the Scriptures. They, therefore, have no responsibility such as devolves upon ministers of our day who do, or should, know all about these matters. We cannot on this occasion make further investigation, take out more of these dead flies; but, the Lord willing, at some future time 1 John 5:7, 8 will have our attention. It is worthy of it. It has caused the Ointment to stink and has confused the minds of many of God's dear saints by the way in which the error in this case has been interwoven with the Truth.
My hearers should bear distinctly in mind that what I am here presenting is not at all in line with the presentations of the Higher Critics. Their method is to read through the Scriptures and judge of them by their own keen intellectual powers, and thus to discriminate between which were written by the Prophets credited, and which were additions. Their Higher Criticism claims a keener scent or mental discernment than ordinary mortals enjoy, by which they know these things whether others can see them so or not.
I resent Higher Criticism and accept the Word of God in full. I reject nothing because of my own or other men's surmises, but merely go by the facts. If the oldest Greek MSS do not contain certain passages of Scripture, how could they get into later manuscripts except as spurious additions?
Nor should I be considered as fault-finding with our common Version of the Bible. While it is not without its faults, it has so many excellent qualities and beautiful translations that I prefer it to any other, and generally use it. But I must not, I cannot, approve those portions of it which all orthodox scholars admit to be spurious. [HGL475] We must not handle the Word of God deceitfully. If we do we must expect darkness instead of light, confusion instead of harmony.
OUR BIBLE'S TER-CENTENARY
Just three centuries ago (1611) our English Common Version Bible was published. This year its Ter-Centenary is celebrated. It is a grand book. It has done a grand work. The fact that it is not perfect must not condemn a work possessed of so many glorious qualities. It was the result of seven years' labor on the part of forty-seven persons learned in the languages and appointed by King James of England for its preparation. They labored to some disadvantage by reason of the command given them to follow an earlier translation styled, the Bishop's Bible, and to alter it as little as the original would allow. They were also instructed that if the Tyndale, Coverdale, Matthew, Cranmer or White-church translations and the Geneva Editors agreed better with the text, theirs should be accepted as instead of the Bishop's. The translation was, perhaps, the best that could be made at the time.
Published by kingly authority, it is now venerated by English and American Protestants as though it had come direct from the finger of God. This is a mistake. We are to worship God and to reverence His Word and to search as carefully as possible to have the precious Ointment provided by the spirit of the Truth free from all dead flies free from all human additions and mistranslations and superstitions of the "Dark Ages."
The basis for our Common Version was the Latin Vulgate, which was diligently revised and compared with the Greek MSS of the time. But there were few Greek MSS known at that time, whereas at the present time there are over 700. Three of these are quite ancient.
(1) The Sinaitic MSS found in a convent on Mt. Sinai so recently as 1860. This is acknowledged to be the oldest Greek MS known in the world. Its date is estimated to be about the year 331 A D This MS is now in the possession of the Russian Government at St. Petersburg (in 1911).
(2) The Vatican MS 1209, is credited with being next in age. It was found amongst MSS in the Vatican Library and is still there and catalogued. The date of its writing is estimated to be about the year 350 A D
(3) The third of these oldest known Greek MSS of the New Testament is styled the Alexandrine, because it was found in Alexandria, in Egypt. It is now in the British Museum, where any visitor can behold it in a glass case. It is supposed to have been written about A D 450. The readings of all three of these Greek MSS can be secured and the variations between their readings and our Common Version are so simply arranged as to leave no excuse for ignorance on the part of Bible students.
A RESPONSIBLE AND SACRED TRUST
Professor Tishendorf, writing respecting these ancient Greek MSS, says:
"To treat such ancient authorities with neglect would be either unwarrantable arrogance or culpable negligence. Indeed, it would be a misunderstanding of Providence if, after all these documents had been preserved through all the dangers of fourteen or fifteen centuries and delivered safe into our hands, we were not ready to receive them with thankfulness as most valuable instruments for the elucidation of Truth."
THE TRUTH IN THE LOVE OF IT
The Lord speaks of some who receive not the Truth in the love of it, and tells that they ultimately will be ensnared by the Adversary. Evidently heart-honesty is one of the most precious elements in the Divine sight. It is not sufficient that we should be Christians in name merely and with form and ceremony. It would not be sufficient in the Lord's sight that we should worship sect or party or even the Bible. It is the Divine Truth that we must reverence next to the Divine person.
It is not sufficient to have Bibles on our center tables merely, nor sufficient to carry them under our arms. We must "eat" the Word of God that is to say, we must, as spiritual children of God, feed upon His message. And this truly implies careful discrimination to discern between God's inspired Revelation and all human additions and admixtures. There is, therefore, a difference between reverencing and loving the Word of God and reverencing and loving a particular translation, errors and all.
THY WORD IS TRUTH
Our Master's prayer for all of His true disciples, or footstep followers, was and still is, "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth." Whoever would have the sanctifying influence of the Divine Word should so far as possible rid himself of every unsanctifying admixture of human tradition and interpolation. The true sanctification or setting apart of the heart to know and to do the Lord's will could not be content to accept with the sanctifying Truth defiling errors, chaff and nonsense.
If thousands are turning away from the Bible, there is a reason. It is not the pure Truth that drives them away, but the foreign admixture and the slanderous misinterpretations handed down to us by our well-meaning but deluded ancestors of several centuries ago. It is high time for all to manifest to God their love of the Truth by spending some of their time in studying it in learning its precious lessons and in telling forth its "good tidings of great joy to all people."

So, here are five tips to improve your sleep quality, and helping you to fall asleep easily. It helps you to wake up feeling rejuvenated and restored.
Most likely you have the sleep position that you have maintained for most of your life. Perhaps you cannot even imagine switching this up. Less back pain and better posture comes with the side sleeping, but what is good for your brain? When we sleep, our whole body clears glymphatic pathway of the toxins more than when we are awake. The side sleeping seems to help this functioning of pathway. Ultimately, side sleeping helps to filter out all the damaging proteins build up over your brain and spinal cord.
Classical music will help to relieve your stress and lower down your pressure. You can think about how good it will be for the night's sleep. When you were a baby, your mom or other members may have sang some lullabies to make you sleep. There is no difference even now! Instruments used in the classical music like piano, harp, and orchestras are soothing and proven to lessen sleep problems.
Last thing you will do before going in for the relaxed slumber is exciting your brain with some bright light from your mobile screen. Instead settle down with a book that will help you relax your body and mind.
Exercising is best for falling asleep but needs to be done at a right time. When exercising, your body stimulation tells your brain to secrete some hormones that will keep your body alert. It works out well when you are exercising, but it is also one reason you must try and finish exercising 3 hours before going to your bed.
You can easily create a relaxing bedtime habit for yourself. Just give yourself some extra time every night for doing things that will help you relax. Do you like to take hot water baths? Just before going bed in night is a perfect time. An immediate rise and fall in your body temperature will promote drowsiness. You can make extra time for reading. Suppose you over-think about your problems before going to bed, try to write it down and set it aside.

DAN NOLAN | "You've Got To Be Able To Stand Up To Different Styles And Different Types"
Posted:Thu 04 Oct 2018
Youth team head coach Dan Nolan admits the start of the new season has been a steep learning curve for his young under-18s side, following their Youth Cup derby defeat to Chester.
Top scorer Sam Pilkington and captain Matty Sargent scored the pick of the goals in the cross-border derby at Chester, but the Dragons succumbed to a 3-2 defeat – with two of the Chester goals coming from near-identical corners.
And Nolan, who was appointed Head of Youth on a full-time basis in the summer, admitted Chester's physicality had been a key difference between the two teams.
"I thought they showed a lot of personality in the second-half, especially at 1-0 down to be able to get back into the game," Nolan said.
"We made a couple of tweaks at half-time and I thought that helped them and they were able to take that on board and implement those changes.
"That was a real positive and I thought at 1-1 we were going to go on to win the game in all honesty. I thought we were on top but unfortunately, again, we weren't able to defend set pieces and that has changed the game.
"I thought we were unable to deal with their strengths. We played well for large periods, especially in the second half, but ultimately you've got to be able to do every facet of the game – rather than just the bits you enjoy – and that's where we struggled.
"We are a young team, we had two under-16s playing as well and I thought both did really well, but it's irrelevant really – you've got to be able to cope with it and to win games you've got to be able to stand up to different styles and different types.
"What Chester did, I thought they did very well and ultimately we weren't able to cope with it."
Nolan refused to blame the age difference between the two teams for the result, despite only three second-year scholars having been available for the young Dragons at Chester.
But he hopes the step up the players have experienced since graduating from under-16 level in the summer will prove beneficial in the long term.
"We are young – it's not an excuse for the result – but we are young and hopefully we'll bear the fruit of that as we get further down the line," he said.
"It's a steep learning curve for some of them [but] what I will say, is they are able to take information on and they are able to develop; they have been developing and you saw that we played some good football at times.
"Again, that hasn't won the game but they are playing some good football and ultimately it's about getting those boys ready and prepared for the first team hopefully.
"Losing is a horrible feeling – it's horrible, whether you lose to a local rival like Chester or anyone else in the league and cup. It always stings.
"However, being able to move forward, it goes one of two ways – they either take it on board and improve from it or… it's sink or swim really. In development, results are important, absolutely, but the key is development and preparing them for the first team."

Why Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' Mirrors Today's Social Media Age
In its exploration of themes like paranoia, voyeurism, and loneliness, Hitchcock's Rear Window strikes a familiar chord with the social media climate we live in today.
By Jennifer O'Callaghan / 28 November 2022
Throughout Alfred Hitchcock's lengthy career, the 1950s were undoubtedly his most glamorous era in filmmaking. With Hollywood's biggest stars in Technicolor and carefully crafted sequences that would have film scholars talking for decades, Hitchcock entered a new peak in visual storytelling. Rear Window, now approaching the 70th anniversary of its production, is a standout film of that decade with a storyline that still holds relevance in the 21st century. Using the camera as narrator, Rear Window carefully weaves a terrifying thriller through a multi-layered love story. Released in 1954, Rear Window is widely regarded as one of the most accessible and modern of Hitchcock's 53 films.
These days, Hitchcock's legacy hardly requires an introduction, but in the early '50s, he was an outside-of-the-box filmmaker beginning to revolutionize sound and frame editing by putting himself in the audience's place. Rear Window was released during a trying time to a post-World War II public when fears of Communism and nuclear war generated anxiety in America. Gender stereotypes were tightly intact, and it would be over a decade before the women's liberation movement shook up the patriarchy. Yet, when re-analyzing Rear Window in our times, it still feels as fresh as the day it was made. The paranoia and isolation experienced by the central character reflect those feelings of loneliness and mistrust in current society. Distortions of social media further mirror Rear Window's themes, which remain universal in America.
Another reason Rear Window retains its relevance is partially due to the imperfection and relatability of its main character. J.B. Jefferies, known to his friends as Jeff (played by the reliably affable Jimmy Stewart, who even gives this curmudgeon appeal), is a flawed anti-hero. As a combat photographer who'd always been on the go, he's now confined to a wheelchair after breaking his leg. (In an early scene, he explains the cast on his left leg is a result of getting too close for comfort with his camera at an auto race.) Jeff spends his days of recovering, staring aimlessly through the back window of his Greenwich Village apartment into the courtyard below—and into the windows of his neighbors.
Enter Lisa Fremont (Grace Kelly), a glamourous career girl of Madison Avenue who's mad about Jeff. Though deeply frustrated at his lack of commitment, she doesn't back down easily, even if it means going out on a limb to show him her dangerous side. Jeff also receives daily visits from Stella (played by the spunky Thelma Ritter), his nurse who serves as the voice of reason. She does her best to convince him he's making a mistake by casting Lisa aside. Flabbergasted at the thought of Jeff ending things with her because she's "too perfect", Stella sighs, "I can hear you now: "Get out of my life, you wonderful woman. You're too good for me."
Jeff, who seems too wrapped up in himself to take Lisa seriously, spends the entirety of Rear Window observing different walks of life through a camera lens at his back window, the same point of view that Hitchcock cleverly limits the audience. Bored to tears, he spies on neighbors, inventing stories about their lives. The curiosities in this intimate setting fulfill Jeff's overactive imagination. The audience becomes one with him as he leaps from one conclusion to another about the narrow view he has of people he doesn't know. His act of observing others from a secure, unseen distance isn't unlike our online world today.
Navigating social media platforms with similar access to friends and strangers can result in the same lack of connection Jeff is experiencing in his inner life (perhaps even more so in a post-pandemic world). When we indulge in social media to feel more connected to others, known and unknown, the nature of these platforms creates a further sense of disconnection and, like Jeff's predicament, isolates us from our real-life networks, leading to more loneliness. The '50s-era Rear Window demonstrates that people have always had the same counterproductive tendencies to overcome loneliness. It's no wonder Rear Window's commentary on humanity remains ageless.
Though certain aspects of Rear Window, like the fashions and technology of the '50s are of its era, its underlying messages on the common feeling of alienation and the tendency to judge others from a distance remains a tale as old as time. Upon release, film critic Bosley Crowther of The New York Times summed it up well, stating, "It exposes many facets of the loneliness of city life and it tacitly demonstrates the impulse of morbid curiosity."
Stewart's Jeff makes one wonder if they'd genuinely like him upon meeting him. On one hand, he is played with great charm by the most "Regular Joe" movie star of all time. (Visions of Stewart usually bring to mind the wholesome George Bailey in Frank Capra's 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life, happily embracing his family on Christmas Day). From another angle, Jeff spends his days and nights with a camera – out of sheer boredom at being stuck inside – peeping into other's windows. Though, with the blinds up in many of these apartments, it could be debated that some of these characters possibly want to be seen. This is comparable to the exhibitionism we see in the desired accumulation of "likes" in the social media world. As much as online privacy protection has been discussed in the media, people still want to be seen and positively acknowledged.
As Jeff scans his neighbors' windows, he makes snap judgments about who they are. He looks down on the loved-up newlyweds and the bickering old couple as he rejects the "suffocating" institution of marriage for himself. He dubs the shapely dancer who entertains male suitors "Miss Torso", and the unmarried woman who entertains imaginary dates in the next apartment over "Miss Lonelyhearts". Jeff's behavior shares similarities with the comments sections of many social media platforms. People anonymously pass judgment and make snide remarks about others, yet in the real world, they wouldn't dare say such things face to face.
Jeff's old-world misogyny doesn't allow him to see much about these women beyond what they physically represent. In his mind, women seem to belong in two categories – the "vamp" or "the spinster". What he's unconsciously observing in his multi-box display of domestic dramas is relationship commitment (and his potential future with Lisa) in its various stages and forms. In his mind, Lisa is from another world. Her distaste for combat boots and hostels instead of three-star hotels demonstrates a stark incompatibility between the two. Jeff views her desire to marry him as a ball and chain that will slow him down and impede his photography career.
To emphasize their differences, Hitchcock ensured Lisa Fremont's wardrobe was considered with meticulous detail for every scene. When meeting with legendary Hollywood costume designer, Edith Head, he stressed that Lisa must appear so perfect that she's almost untouchable. Head needed to create a nearly unattainable dream-like air about Lisa. Drawing inspiration from Christian Dior's post-war "New Look", the costumes range from an elegant monochromatic dress with a full white skirt and off-the-shoulder top to a pistachio-colored suit with a tailored white halter top. The on-camera effect is breathtaking as Lisa enters and leaves his apartment. The visual contrast of her exquisite clothes next to the dingy apartment and Jeff's baggy pajamas further emphasize the different worlds Lisa and Jeff aspire to.
When Lisa first appears, Hitchcock uses a clever trick by shaking the camera for a shimmering effect. The result is a desired dream-like sequence. She whispers to Jeff.
Lisa: How's your leg?
Jeff: Hurts a little
Lisa: Your stomach?
Jeff: Empty as a football
Lisa: And your love life?
Jeff: Not too active.
Lisa: Anything else bothering you?
Jeff: Yes—who are you?
As she moves about his small apartment to switch on his three lamps, the romantic haze slowly lifts, and reality sets in. Jeff's defenses are up. He won't open up to Lisa, and her exasperation mounts as, at one point, she wonders aloud, "How far does a girl have to go before you notice her?"
If Jeff is the voyeur of Rear Window and, essentially, the filmmaker who follows a killer, then Lisa is the heart of the film and the more courageous of the two in expressing her feelings and desires. "I'm in love with you," she says plainly. "I don't care what you do for a living. I'd just like to be part of it somehow." Lisa embraces life in the real world. Each night when she visits Jeff, she's full of stories and excitement about her work day, which he resents. For almost eight weeks, he's been stuck in a dark room with his overactive imagination, peering out and creating paranoid ideas about the world. In today's context, Jeff represents the typical lonely internet addict, whereas Lisa embodies someone with a healthier relationship with the outside world.
Soon Jeff begins to confront the worst-case scenario of spying on his neighbors. Through his camera lens, he sees what he believes is Lars Thorwold (Raymond Burr) murdering his wife by poisoning her, then following up that horrible act by dispensing her body parts in the East River. Jeff's world is shaken by what he's sure he's just witnessed. It's one thing to stare across the courtyard and fabricate murder mysteries to pass time, but he suddenly realizes the reality of someone taking another human life is absolutely stomach-turning.
What makes Rear Window's murder scene unique is that it takes place out of sight with the blinds drawn. Mrs. Thorwald's scream goes mostly unnoticed in the heat of the Manhattan summer night, and not an ounce of gore is shown. Jeff and the audience observe as Thorwald quickly moves in and out of his apartment with a heavy suitcase of presumed evidence, and we are left to conclude what it contains.
Compared to Hitchcock's later acclaimed films like Psycho (1961) or The Birds (1963), where the violence is more blatant and intense, he made an interesting choice with Rear Window. Here, he plays on the viewer's mounting anxiety about what may be happening instead of showing what is happening. In Psycho, the aggressive murder scene where Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is stabbed to death on-screen in the shower by Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is terrifyingly effective. Rear Window's murder is just as horrible an act, but that it happens behind closed curtains taps into the audience's emotions of apprehension.
In his effort to prove Thorwald murdered his wife, Jeff receives help from Lisa and Stella. Unlike Jeff, trapped in his apartment, the women go out searching for concrete evidence to show the police, and they even deliver Jeff's handwritten note to Thorwald, which simply says, "What have you done with her?" To prove her gumption and willingness to get her hands dirty, Lisa steals into Thorwald's apartment in search of further proof of murder while he's away. Confined to a wheelchair, Jeff (and the audience) look on with utter anxiety, as the murderer will be returning any minute. When Thorwald comes home and begins to interrogate and manhandle Lisa, Jeff falls to pieces as all he can do is peer across the courtyard in sheer agony.
The police, of course, arrive just in time, and she's free to go. In triumph, Lisa flashes Mrs. Thorwald's wedding ring to Jeff as she leaves the scene. Thorwald, unfortunately, catches onto this as well. For the first time, he looks across the courtyard and locks eyes with Jeff. It is a chilling moment. Jeff's voyeurism has now been revealed, and his secretive judgment of his neighbors is no longer his private – and safe – world.
Later that night, Thorwald's entrance into Jeff's apartment is one of the most suspenseful climaxes of all of Hitchcock's films. His face is unrecognizable in the blackness of the night as he taunts Jeff from the doorway. "What do you want from me?" he says sinisterly. By now, the audience has become Jeff, if you will. As a viewer, it's impossible not to experience his feelings of paralysis and helplessness. Thorwald wastes no time trying to kill Jeff, ironically attempting to toss him out of his rear window – and succeeding. Once again, the police arrive to take Thorwald away.
The next frame shows a rough landing for Jeff, and not without further casualties. In the final scene, Jeff, now in two leg casts, is resting, notably with his back turned to the rear window. Lisa, now his caretaker, is dressed casually and resting beside him with a copy of William O. Douglas' 1952 travel book, Beyond the High Himalayas. Just before the credits roll, as if to note that she won't be changing herself entirely for Jeff, Lisa casts the book aside and begins to leaf through a copy of Harper's Bazaar.
A script loaded with social commentary by John Michael Hayes and a central character conflicted in his psyche are key elements that firmly place Rear Window in the category of one of the best films of all time. Keeping the audience in a small, dark apartment along with Jeff so they hear and see exactly what he hears and sees created new territory in mainstream film back in 1954, but it has the same effect on our anxieties today. "I was feeling very creative at the time," Hitchcock said of the Rear Window's success. "The batteries were well charged." (The Art of Alfred Hitchcock: Fifty Years of His Motion Pictures, 1976). In his artistic vision for Rear Window, it's almost as if Hitchcock predicted the future of social media and voyeuristic reality television.
Going into production, Hitchcock was no stranger to working with Stewart. They had previously made Rope together in 1948 (another murder caper, which, coincidently, was also filmed entirely on one apartment). Soon after Rear Window, they made The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) and Vertigo (1958). Kelly had also worked with Hitchcock earlier that year in Dial M for Murder (1954). They would reunite after Rear Window for To Catch a Thief (1955). When Kelly first decided to do Rear Window, she had an agonizing decision on her hands. At the same time, she had also received the script for On the Waterfront, with an offer to play Marlon Brando's girlfriend in the film directed by Elia Kazan.
"I sat in my apartment with two screenplays—one was to be filmed in New York with Marlon Brando, and the other was going to be filmed in Hollywood, with James Stewart. Making a picture in New York suited my plans better—but working again with Hitch…well, it was a dilemma." (High Society: The Life of Grace Kelly, 2009). She knew her destiny was to work with Hitchcock, the director she fully trusted. Besides, due to her upbringing in a prominent Philadelphia family, playing a privileged woman of New York high society was a character she deeply understood.
Rear Window received four Oscar nominations in 1955 for Best Director (Hitchcock), Best Writing (John Michael Hayes), Best Cinematography, and Best Sound. Though it shockingly didn't take home any statues that year, it's still considered by filmgoers, scholars, and critics to be one of the top films of American cinema. In 1997, Rear Window received the credit it deserved when the Librarian of Congress placed it on the National Film Registry.
Over time, Rear Window has set off a chain reaction of inspiration in modern films on the dangers of loneliness and self-destructive behavior. Even in recent years, it has influenced multiple voyeuristic films like Sam Mendes' drama American Beauty (1999), a modern fable about the mid-life crisis in America and a lonely teen with a camcorder. Another example is D.J. Caruso's crime drama Disturbia (2007), a tale taken directly from Rear Window about a teen on house arrest whose boredom leads him to suspect his next-door neighbor is a wanted serial killer.
Rear Window's thesis seems to state that everybody's watching everyone, but what we all need is a genuine connection. As Stella put it so aptly, "What people ought to do is get outside their own house and look in for a change."

Corot's "Portrait of a Girl"
This is an update of an article originally published on July 13, 2011 in "Street Sweeper."
Sometimes it seems as if there's no such thing as a good con outside of Wall Street, what with all the recent, lurid headlines about brokerage firms, hedge funds, investment advisors, insider trading, Ponzi schemes, and the likes of Raj and Bernie. However, good news! There are more than enough scamsters to go around. Consider this recent fraud in the high fallutin' world of fine art.
According to federal prosecutors, between May and August of 2010, Thomas Doyle, 53, of New York, New York, found himself a well-heeled pigeon, who we'll simply call La Victime. Doyle called his mark and urged that the two purchase for $1,100,000 Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's "Portrait of a Girl" from a third party for $1,100,000. As Doyle laid it out, he would pay $220,000 and La Victime would pay $880,000, for which the latter would retain an 80% ownership in the Corot painting.
And the tug on this baited line was Doyle's promise that there was a buyer lined up who was prepared to buy the painting for a tidy profit. Voila!
Now, in fairness to Doyle, there was a built-in "tidy profit" to this transaction. You see, Doyle had previously negotiated the purchase of the Corot for $775,000, or about $105,000 less than what La Victime was being pressed to invest in the artwork -- and about $325,000 less than what Doyle told La Victime was the price that he had paid for the painting. But what are such details among true art lovers?
In June 2010, with the Corot in hand and La Victime's cash in his bank account, Doyle announced that he had located a buyer willing to pay $1,700,000. That's not a bad profit, he likely told La Victime. In fact, the Corot was estimated to sell at auction for no more than $500,000 and$700,000.
From here things get a bit murky -- suggesting that Doyle may not have fully thought everything out. The Corot gets stored by some co-conspirator in a Manhattan storage facility, only to later get removed by that pal -- supposedly without authorization. Then, according to press reports, the painting was taken to a seller, but there was no sale, then the courier took the Corot to a bar, but the courier got drunk, and a doorman found the painting in some bushes on Fifth Avenue, and ,well, hey, you know how it goes, right? This is a case for Inspector Clouseau.
fine of $250,000, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.
Doyle also admitted to forfeiture allegations requiring him to forfeit $880,000, Doyle's interest in the Corot Painting, and one 1993 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet.
forfeit the Ferrari and his interest in the Corot Painting, both of which are currently in the FBI's possession.

Q: Extracting a private key buffer from WebCrypto generated CryptoKey (private) I probably already know the answer (ie. not possible), but hopefully I overlooked something, because otherwise the WebCrypto implementation is truly unbelievably crap..
Basically the problem is this:
I need to import/export ECDH (P-256) private keys using WebCrypto - and I don't mean the stupid high-level PKCS8 (PEM) format, that encodes a bunch of other data as well (such as version, public key, etc.), I mean a pure key, as 32-byte buffer. This is really easy to do with the public key, I only set the format to 'raw' and get (or import) 64-byte buffer public key. This however does not work for private key (which doesn't support the 'raw' format), instead I have to export/import the key as PKCS8, then parse the key according to its ASN.1 schema (twice actually - the private key buffer encoded in rfc5915 structure, which is in turn encoded within the pkcs8 structure).
This is an extremely painful process that involves ASN.1 implementation libraries (or god forbid an in-house impl.) and the definitions of appropriate ASN.1 structures (templates). All I need is a way to simply extract a 32-byte private key buffer from generated CryptoKey and vice versa (import 32-byte private key buffer into a CryptoKey).
I'm hoping there's a simple way to do so using only WebCrypto that I overlooked (since I can't see a single rational, security reason why CryptoKey supports the raw format for public keys and not private - after all, you can export it as pkcs8. The only reason I could think of is, that WebCrypto was designed by a sadist with a thing for torturing developers).
If not, then I'd really appreciate if you'd point me to some good, working ASN.1 library written for JS, or even better, TS. So far I tried at least 10 different ASN.1 libraries and only one that worked (with at least some documentation), worked only in Node and not browser, which is kinda pointless.
Thank you for any pointers and/or advice if you had to deal with issue like this before...

Supreme Court refuses to hear Texas transgender inmate's request for gender confirmation surgery
Appeals court rejected Vanessa Lynn Gibson's contention that denying her surgery violates her Eighth Amendment rights
By John Riley on December 10, 2019	@JohnAndresRiley
U.S. Supreme Court – Credit: Davis Staedtler/flickr
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear the case of a transgender inmate who sued after Texas prison officials denied her request for gender confirmation surgery.
Vanessa Lynn Gibson, 41, filed the suit against the Texas Department of Criminal Justice earlier this year, arguing its policy barring surgery for trans inmates violates her constitutional right to be free from "cruel and unusual punishment," as guaranteed by the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Gibson, an inmate at the Gatesville Correctional Facility, has suffered from gender dysphoria since she was first incarcerated in 1995. As a result, she has experienced severe depression and has attempted self-mutilation and suicide.
At her doctors' recommendation, the prison has provided Gibson with hormone therapy, but has refused repeated requests for gender confirmation surgery.
After a federal judge ruled against her, Gibson appealed to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But the 5th Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling, prompting Gibson and her lawyers to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
But on Monday, the high court refused to hear the case, thereby allowing the 5th Circuit's ruling to stand. The court did not offer any justification or ruling for its refusal.
Writing on behalf of a three-judge panel, Judge James Ho, a Trump appointee to the 5th Circuit, ruled that denying gender confirmation surgery was not "cruel and unusual" because there is still debate over whether pursuing surgery is the best treatment for gender dysphoria, essentially casting the decision to undergo surgery as elective rather than medically necessary.
"A state does not inflict cruel and unusual punishment by declining to provide sex reassignment surgery to a transgender inmate," Ho wrote. "Under established precedent, it can be cruel and unusual punishment to deny essential medical care to an inmate. But that does not mean prisons must provide whatever care an inmate wants. Rather, the Eighth Amendment 'proscribes only medical care so unconscionable as to fall below society's minimum standards of decency.'
"Accordingly, 'mere disagreement with one's medical treatment is insufficient' to state a claim under the Eighth Amendment," Ho continued. "This bedrock principle dooms this case. For it is indisputable that the necessity and efficacy of sex reassignment surgery is a matter of significant disagreement within the medical community. As the First Circuit has noted — and counsel here does not dispute — respected medical experts fiercely question whether sex reassignment surgery, rather than counseling and hormone therapy, is the best treatment for gender dysphoria."
Ho also noted that not only is there disagreement among medical experts, but prisons across the country have barred inmates from receiving surgery, thereby making the refusal to provide such a procedure neither cruel nor unusual.
"The dissent suggests that a blanket ban is unconstitutional — and that an individualized assessment is required. But that defies common sense," Ho wrote. "To use an analogy: If the FDA prohibits a particular drug, surely the Eighth Amendment does not require an individualized assessment for any inmate who requests that drug."
Gibson's attorney, Maxwell Kennerly, previously blasted Ho's bias and pointing to his ruling as an example of "result-driven judicial activism" in his blog, Litigation & Trial.
"Although some people claim 'trans rights' are 'special rights,' the movement for 'trans rights' is really an effort to provide transgender persons the same rights everyone else has," Kennerly wrote. "All the plaintiff wanted in her lawsuit was the same treatment every prisoner is entitled to have under the Constitution, i.e., appropriate treatment for what everyone agreed was a 'serious medical need.'"
Gibson previously told Waco-based CBS affiliate KWTX that she would castrate herself if the courts wouldn't allow her to undergo surgery.
"Having male genitalia, it makes me literally sick. I'm talking about to the point that I hate my life and it's an everyday thing," she said.
Currently, an estimated 212 prisoners in custody in Texas identify as transgender. A group of three currently and formerly incarcerated trans women recently filed suit against the state of Texas for refusing to allow them to change their names to match their gender identity.
In their complaint, the women argue that prison officials' refusal to recognize their gender identity is another form of cruel and unusual punishment, as it exacerbates their feelings of inadequacy and depression, and puts them at risk of harassment or physical assault at the hands of other inmates who become aware of their transgender status.

Home > VCCSBlog > CVCC FastForward "Ambassadors" pay tribute to Virginia lawmaker who is urging the General Assembly to invest more in workforce training programs.
(L to R) Jamaul Taylor, Farley Dickey, Del. Kathy Byron, Dr. John Capps, CVCC President, Natalie Niehaus.
As Virginia lawmakers consider additional funding for the FastForward workforce training through Virginia's Community Colleges, three CVCC workforce graduates traveled to Richmond in late January to convey how training at CVCC changed their lives.
Farley Dickey, Natalie Niehaus and Jamaul Taylor accompanied CVCC President John Capps in a trip to the General Assembly office of Lynchburg Delegate Kathy Byron.
Byron was one of the sponsors of legislation in 2016 to create Virginia's New Economy Workforce Credential Grants, which in just two years, helped put more than 12,000 newly skilled workers into Virginia's economy in jobs that employers were eager to fill.
The grants support FastForward short term training programs offered at community colleges across the state.
The CVCC delegation traveled to Richmond to thank Byron for her leadership, and present her with the Community College System's highest honor, the Dana Hamel Award for Leadership and Service, named for the system's founding Chancellor.

NEW YORK – The Grammy Awards seemed poised to make this a triumphant year for rap at music's showcase event – until Bruno Mars crashed the party.
The song-and-dance man from Hawaii won all six awards he was nominated for on Sunday night, including the three most prestigious Grammys for song ("That's What I Like"), record ("24K Magic") and album of the year. His music also dominated the rhythm and blues categories.
Most of the show's political references – to topics like gun violence, immigration reform and women's rights – were carefully scripted.
The Rolling Stones, once judged rock's kingpins, won the third Grammy of their career – for best traditional blues recording.

Q: Can I make a custom android rom on the cloud only? So, I figured out that the AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) is over 100gb alone, and I don't have the space for that, so I want a cloud editor to make my own custom OS.
I only have 40gb left of storage, so I can't do it, are there any cloud editors you suggest?
I have tried to look for the AOSP on GitHub to fork it, but I couldn't find it.

Rooie Waas Residency
Between the 11th and the 15th of November Rooie Waas had the chance to work at Steim developing new material and expanding our instrumentarium. As a short history of the band we started as a noise band with the occasional mp3 drum tracks, went in the industrial direction for our first album, started bringing in hip hop and balkan influences for the second one and finally deepened our sound vocabulary by way off synths and more subtle programming on our latest release. We also became a fixed trio formation in contrast to our previous collective approach. Our music has always been text (or rather word-) based. Up until recently the production was done in the studio and consequently translated into a live set, which evolved in it's own way after.
For our new phase the idea was to make new songs in a more traditional way, in the rehearsal room, so to speak. The defining factor in our sound is the use of electronic drums and samples that move a lot of air. This is further developed in a live situation with a decent size PA. We thought it would be nice this time to write the music at concert levels thus observing the sonic interactions as they happen in the room. And to include the spontaneity that comes from our temperament as improvising musicians.
So an audio workstation was set up, as well as the wonderful full range PA that we could use from Steim. We recorded everything multitrack for the possibility postproduction. It is a really different dynamic when you have to also consider making parts and musical choices that you feel comfortable executing, instead of composing what you hear and then translating it to a playable part. Since we don't like to use backing tracks, before you would see Gerri, our drummer bound to complex paraplegic exercises. Now as we compose our individual parts, the music becomes a bit more expressive and has a rounder feel.
It's a real pleasure having enough time to create, confuse, reflect and regroup with enough time. More often that not, creation needs a touch of idleness and some very good ideas came taking some air at the canal front of this inspiring building. We wish Steim an equally illustrious future in it's new location.

Ormond Beach Observer Monday, Oct. 8, 2012 6 years ago
Iron-pumping pair open new team-training gym
by: Observer Staff Staff
Richard Pinelli and Brennan Dougherty opened a sports training facility to focus on teams and youth athletes.
BY MATT MENCARINI | STAFF WRITER
Sport-specific training facilities are lacking here in Ormond Beach, according to Richard Pinelli and Brennan Dougherty. And they've decided to do something about it.
Co-owners of the new Elite Strength and Performance gym, at 916 US 1, Pinelli and Dougherty see their space tailoring more to team, not individual, workouts.
"There are gyms, but they aren't set up where you can have a team come in," Pinelli said. "I think it's important that you can bring the whole team in and get that group atmosphere. Then everyone is on the same page."
Pinelli and Dougherty are originally from Pennsylvania and both attended West Virginia University, where Pinelli majored in exercise physiology and Dougherty majored in sports psychology.
After graduation, Pinelli took a job at All Star Sports, in Paisley, which closed after his first six months on the job. And when Dougherty graduated in May, the two graduates -- Pinelli, 25, and Dougherty, 24 -- saw an opportunity to become their own bosses.
About $20,000 in startup costs later, and that's exactly what they were. Elite Strength and Performance was born, and it opened for business Friday, Oct. 5.
"It's the shipping that kills you," Pinelli said, "because everything is so heavy. Everything is big. We probably had a third of a tractor trailer with our stuff in it."
The inside of their gym weighs close to 7,000 pounds, they estimate. And so to keep costs down, the pair made trips back and forth to Orlando, with trunks full of weight plates, in order to save on shipping.
That's how they moved about 4,500 pounds of their inventory.
In addition to focusing on team workouts, Pinelli and Dougherty also want to make youth training a cornerstone of their business plan.
"The concept is that, normally, you don't want to start too young," Pinelli said. "But, you know, that's an old-school mentality. We want to start with younger groups and work with them as they progress through middle school and high school, so that they continue to progress until they get into college."
Start early, they say, and young athletes will have a huge leg up on their peers in the fundamentals department. It can also help protect against injury down the line.
But if not done correctly, strength training at a young age can also cause a lot of problems.
"From what I've seen in my experience, in the weight room in college, unless you have a really good coach, you aren't getting taught the proper things," Pinelli said. "Even stretching. They're having you do static-stretching before you work out, which is not right."
That's where Pinelli and Dougherty come in. They might be young, but they live and breathe this stuff. They studied it in school. And now they want to teach it -- to high school teams, youth sport clubs. They want to make Ormond Beach better, and stronger, and faster -- one team at a time.

PARKING TICKET: Dawn Eastwell has had her disability permit for 15 years and she has never had an issue. Jacob Miley
Disabled woman fined for taking too long with her shopping
by jacobmiley
FOR 15 years Dawn Eastwell has held a disability permit and not once in that time had an issue.
That is until now, when she encountered two issues within a month.
Mrs Eastwell, who suffers from a heart condition and has artificial knees, forgot her permit one day while at the shopping centre after taking her daughter's car.
She was fined $70, but took it to Centre Management and explained the situation.
Centre Management waived the fine after Mrs Eastwell displayed her permit.
Later that same day, she decided to do her usual shopping while she was already there and when she returned to her car, that was now displaying the correct permit, she found a $77 fine for outstaying the three-hour parking.
The 79-year-old said she was disappointed she was fined, despite Mt Pleasant Shopping Centre parking stating "any vehicle displaying a valid disability permit can park in any car park as long as required".
"I was very annoyed actually," she said "I thought I was doing the right thing.
"I never ever think, 'Oh, I better get back to my car', I never think that at all.
"I can stay here until I finish my shopping."
She understood the reason why the centre does have three-hour limits, to stop people from abusing the car park, but said it was very difficult to do shopping in that time, particularly for elderly people who suffer from medical conditions.
Mrs Eastwell said there needed to be better clarification over the signs at the disability parking.
At privately-owned shopping centres, disability parking is monitored by the centre's security staff on behalf of council.
The Mackay Regional Council was advised of the situation and said it would look into the matter and review signage if necessary.
In response to the parking fine over the three-hour limit, a spokesperson for Vicinity Centres, which runs Mt Pleasant, said they were aware of the the fine due to the absence of permit, but didn't comment on the other fine.
"We are aware of this situation with our customer and immediately waived the breach once we knew that she had a valid disability permit," they said.
"Parking inspectors are trained to look for valid permits but unfortunately on this occasion the permit was out of sight from outside the vehicle.
"The customer came to see us at Centre Management and explained the situation to us, and we immediately arranged for the breach to be waived.
"This was an unfortunate situation and out of our hands, and we are sorry that the customer needed to come see us to explain."

High-Income Divorce Lawyer in Suffolk County
Don't Lose Your Future — Protect It
Going through a divorce involves figuring out how to manage a number of different facets. There is property to be divided between the two spouses as well as property that is considered exempt from post-divorce redistribution. A range of financial issues must be worked out, includingspousal maintenance. If the spouses have minors in the household, things can become exponentially more complex as the divorcing couple must determine legal and physical custody arrangements or, if they cannot reach an agreement, take the matter before a judge.
Get help from experienced legal professionals when protecting your assets. Contact the Law Office of Robert H. Montefusco by dialing (631) 801-0007 or contacting us online.
Challenges of High Net Worth Divorce
While high-income marriages face many of the same issues as anyone else when going through divorce proceedings — which spouse gets what assets, who will have custody of the children, etc. —these individuals usually command a much larger array of possessions: Multiple homes and properties (sometimes overseas), multiple bank accounts, stock portfolios, stock options, retirement accounts, trust funds, and various other possessions. Sorting through these assets can be a thorny process, and you need a high-income divorce lawyer who has specific experience with these matters.
Courts will analyze all these assets with the aim of determining which should be classified as marital property (belonging to the couple) and which should be classified as separate property (belonging to the individual). As a general rule of thumb, marital property is that which was obtained during the marriage, including property that was purchased by only one spouse. Only marital property is subject to court-ordered redistribution; separate property cannot be touched. It is important to ensure that the courts do not mistakenly classify your separate property as marital property. Our high-income divorce lawyers will help you understand the nature and characteristics of your property.
Real estate holdings must be properly evaluated by the courts. This can be a tricky process, as real estate valuations change over time. As your representatives, we will fight to ensure that the courts apply reasonable standards when applying a price tag to your properties. By the same token, any businesses you own will usually be appraised as well.
Post-divorce tax consequences are another matter that can be especially tricky for high-income individuals. It is likely that your tax situation will change dramatically in the aftermath of a divorce, and any division of assets should take this into account, whether you're involved in a contested or uncontested divorce, so consult an accountant.
Child Support Caps
In the state of New York, child support is calculated according to the income of both spouses — up to a cap of $143,000 (as per the Child Support Standards Act); a number which changes every two years. Custodial parents whose spouse had an income far exceeding this amount often find that child support payments fail to meet their current financial needs. It is possible, however, for the courts to go beyond this cap under certain circumstances. If you're facing this situation, our divorce attorneys in Suffolk County and Nassau County can argue for additional support for you and your children.
For high-income individuals, a prenuptial agreement is a common way to protect their assets by making arrangements in advance for the division of assets that occurs through a divorce. This allows the spouses to enter into a binding agreement that the courts would be expected to accept. There are a number of pitfalls associated with prenuptial agreements, though. If a "prenup" is not executed properly — for example, if it can be shown that a spouse signed it under duress — the courts may simply throw it out.
High-Income Divorce Attorneys in Suffolk & Nassau County
If you are looking to create a prenuptial agreement, or believe you have the grounds to invalidate a prenup that was executed improperly, please contact the Law Office of Robert H. Montefusco to speak with an experienced divorce attorney serving Suffolk County and Nassau County.

TCO quantifies the cost of the purchase across the product's entire lifecycle. Therefore, it offers a more accurate basis for determining the value -- cost vs. ROI -- of an investment than the purchase price alone. The overall TCO includes direct and indirect expenses, as well as some intangible ones that may be assigned a monetary value. For example, a server's TCO might include an expensive purchase price, a good deal on ongoing support, and low system management time because of its user-friendly interface.There are several methodologies and software tools to calculate total cost of ownership, but the process is not perfect. Many enterprises fail to define a singular methodology. This is bad because they cannot base purchasing decisions on uniform information. Another problem is that it is difficult to determine the scope of operating costs for any piece of IT equipment; some cost factors are easily overlooked or inaccurately compared from one product to another. For example, support costs on one server include the cost of spare parts. This might make support cost more than it does on another server, but eliminates an additional cost factor of parts acquisition.


Gunnar arrived in 2011, when he was 13 years old. He was born and bred in Canada on a Fjord Ranch, where he was trained in English, Western, and Harness riding. He arrived hugely over weight and during the first week at Courage Reins went into kidney failure. Such metabolic trauma also brought on a bad case of founder. With much care and attention, we were able to save his life. Since that time, we continue to treat him for Cushing Disease. The combined efforts and care have Gunnar healthy and happy today. He really enjoys doing the stimulus and challenges offered by our Parelli exercises. In such a caring, stimulating atmosphere, he has thrived as a member of our team.

La Fassi (nome intero Istituto Biochimico Farmaceutico Fassi s.p.a.) è un'azienda produttrice di caramelle e gomma da masticare con sede in Chiusanico, in provincia di Imperia. Il prodotto più celebre è la caramella Mental che fu sponsorizzata negli anni ottanta da una grande campagna pubblicitaria televisiva.

Storia
La Fassi nacque nel 1936 come casa farmaceutica. Solo nel 1968 venne interrotta la produzione farmaceutica e tutta la produzione si concentrò nel settore dolciario confettiario. Dal 1943, dopo i bombardamenti alla sede di Torino, l'azienda si trasferì a Vallecrosia (IM). Dal 2011 la sede si è spostata a Chiusanico (IM).
