The main appearance of the structure is based on the mathematical embedded minimal surface discovered in 1982 by Celso José da Costa. The topology is created by puncturing a compact surface, therefore becoming a finite topology. The current design is a topologically thrice-punctured torus which is deformed until the planer end becomes catenoidal. The topology can be described using the Weierstrass zeta and the Weierstrass elliptic functions. The name of the project is Textrinium based on the interweaving of different components within the textile, architecture and mathematical geometry. Textrinium is a textile based structure that interacts with its surroundings by change in kinetic energy, shade shifting of colours by differentiating in resistance andintegrated sensors like ultrasonic and conductive wire. All the used components are part of the same knitted fabric. The structure is supported by an internal skeleton composted out of glassfiber. Extensive research in material systems, topology optimisation, stress and deformation simulation within fabrics, weaving patterns and fibre directionality, integrating (knitting) sensing, sewing techniques exploration, actuation and control systems within the textiles, thermo-chromic textile based applications, phosphorescence applications and computation numerically controlled fabrication are part of the research and design workshop.

Barbarské státy neboli také barbarská království vznikaly během 6. a 7. století na území západní Evropy, tj. období stěhování národů, byly vytvářeny zvláště germánskými kmeny. Pojem barbarus byl užíván Římany pro neřímské cizince. Většina těchto nových státních útvarů vytvořených barbary se vyznačovala tím, že byla zakládána na troskách Západořímské říše, částečně tak navazovala na dědictví antické civilizace, ale zpravidla pro ní znamenaly spíše úpadek (rozpad pokročilé římské infrastruktury, pokles vzdělanosti, někde návrat ke kmenovému uspořádání společnosti apod.). Příchod barbarů rovněž poznamenal římskou církev a způsobil vážné otřesy v jejím uspořádání, neboť noví příchozí byli často ještě pohany, ale čím dál častěji byli pokřtěnými vyznavači ariánství, které církev vnímala jako sobě odporující herezi. K zásadnímu obratu došlo, až když franský král Chlodvík I. přestoupil ke katolictví a spolu s ním všichni Frankové po roce 498.

K barbarským státům (královstvím) patřily:
 Alamannské království (do roku 496) v jihozápadní Germánii
 Alanské království (409-534) v Hispánii a severní Africe
 Svébská říše (410–584) v západní Hispánii
 Burgundská říše (411–534) v Sapaudii
 Vizigótská říše (418–711) na Pyrenejském poloostrově
 Ostrogótská říše (493–553) v Itálii
 Vandalská říše (429–534) v severní Africe
 Římsko-maurské království (429–578) v severní Africe
 anglosaská království (zhruba 450–899) v Británii
 Franské království (481–843) severně od Galie, později Galie
 Durynské království (asi 400–531) v Germánii
 Langobardské království (568–774) v Itálii
 Rugijské království – Rugiland (467–487) v Pobaltí, poté v Dolním Rakousku
 Fríské království (asi 600–734) severně od Galie
 Armorika (5. století) na Bretaňském poloostrově
 Hunská říše (316–484) na území Panonie, Germánie a Dácie

Ostrogótská říše (493–555)
Ostrogótská říše měla svá původní sídla u Černého moře a na Krymu, která byla zničena Huny; po jejichž nástupu do Podunajské nížiny v sedmdesátých letech 4. století a po katastrofální porážce roku 375 žila většina Ostrogótů jako poddaní svých hunských pánů. Ostatní vystupovali jako jejich spojenci a v bitvách stáli často po jejich boku spolu s Alany. Tento stav v podstatě přetrval až do porážky Hunů.

Jedinou výjimkou jsou události z let 376-380. Tehdy (376) se gótské oddíly vydaly přes Dunaj. A byla to právě ostrogótská jízda spolu s Alany a hunskými jízdními lučištníky, která o dva roky později 9. srpna 378 rozhodujícím způsobem zvrátila výsledek bitvy u Adrianopole. Po tomto historickém mezníku je roku 380 císař Gratianus usídlil jako spojence v Pannonii. Tam plnili svou úlohu obránců římského území.

Roku 451 se Ostrogóti zúčastnili Attilovy bitvy v Gallii. Po jejich porážce se moc Hunů zhroutila. Další porážka hunské armády roku 454 na řece Nedao znamenala naprostý konec jejich nadvlády na tomto území. Jejich území si rozebraly jednak bývalé porobené národy a také nově příchozí etnika. Ostrogóti si udrželi svou Panonii.

Vztah s Konstantinopolí
Mezi Konstantinopolí a Ostrogótskou říší byla uzavřena mírová smlouva.

Ostrogóti se mnoho nezajímali o zemědělství a proto byly do značné míry závislí na dodávkách Konstantinopole.

Jejich král Theodorich, než vstoupil na trůn, byl v Konstantinopoli vychován.

Pod vedením krále Theodoricha

Jejich nejvýznamnějším králem se pak stal Thedorich, jenž slavně porazil Sarmaty a pak přesunul celou říši do oblasti Moesie, blíže ke Konstantinopoli. Král se však po čase stal natolik mocným, že začal ohrožovat samotnou Konstantinopol. Dokonce obsadil její předměstí a přerušil městský akvadukt. Na samotné dobytí Konstantinopole mu však zřejmě chyběly prostředky, které investoval především do svých nedobytných hradeb.

Stáhl se tedy k západů, což byl pravděpodobně nápad samotného císaře Zena, který se takto hodlal zbavit nebezpečného barbarského vládce západní části Říše Odoakera.

Dobytí Itálie
Theodorichovo tažení roku 488 připomínalo spíše stěhování celého národa – spolu s vojskem o síle asi 20 000 mužů šly ženy děti i starci, celkem kolem 100 000 lidí; vyrazili po žních a podél Dunaje směřovali na severozápad. Snažili se je zadržet Gepidové, ale neúspěšně. Když Ostrogóti dorazili k hranicím severní Itálie postavil se jim do cesty u Isonza na mostě přes Wippach sám vládce Itálie Odoaker. Theodorich si v bitvě vynutil přechod řeky a celý následující rok spolu obě armády bojovaly o nadvládu nad Itálii. To se Ostrogótům podařilo roku 491. Odoaker byl obklíčen v Ravenně a po dlouhém obléhání se oba vládci dohodli, že zanechají nepřátelství a budou nad Itálií vládnout společně. To byla ale od Ostrogótů pouze lest, neboť o dva roky později byl Odoaker, poslední Theodorichova překážka v cestě k absolutní mocí nad Itálií, při hostině zabit.

Ostrogóti se stali faktickými vládci Itálie a části Illyrika. Dále se jejich moc projevovala více méně jen v diplomatických kruzích, ale zato docela výrazně. Na poloostrově ovšem vládli poměrně pevnou rukou. Theodorich sice oficiálně neměl titul císaře, ale to mnohým Římanům nebránilo v tom, aby jej nazývali dominus (pán) nebo dokonce augustus (císař). Jeho vláda k nim byla totiž celkem shovívavá a dokonce ani příliš nezasahoval do činnosti senátu. Navenek se nijak nesnažil odtrhnout se od Římské říše a své impérium v podstatě považoval za její svrchovanou a autonomní součást.

Bitva o Itálii s Východní římskou říší
Theodorich panoval svou silnou rukou až do roku 526, kdy zemřel. Jeho nástupcem se stal jeho nedospělý vnuk Athalarich. Za něj prozatímně vládla jeho matka, královna Amalaswintha. Ta otevřeně podporovala Konstantinopol a dokonce začala projevovat ochotu se jí podrobit. V té době ještě byla Ostrogótská říše velmocí, ale už dávno si ji východořímský císař Justinián I. plánoval podrobit. Jeho snem bylo obnovení Římské říše v její původní velikosti a Itálie přirozeně byla cílem nejdůležitějším. Hledala se jen vhodná záminka, ta přišla v podobě pádu a smrti královny Amalasunthy roku 534, za kterým stáli gótští šlechtici, nelibě nesoucí královniny vztahy s Konstantinopolí. Invazní vojska pod vedením Belisaria nejprve bez boje obsadila Sicílii a pak bez větších obtíží prošla až k Římu.

Pro neschopnost byl odstraněn král Theodahad, který vládl po smrti královny Amalaswinthy. Jeho nástupce Witigis byl mnohem schopnější a dokonce v Římě Belisaria oblehl. Belisarios byl ovšem skvělý vojevůdce, vzchopil se a zanedlouho naopak Witiguse oblehl v Ravenně a přiměl jej roku 540 ke kapitulaci. Zdálo se, že válka v Itálii je u konce, ale Gótové se ještě vzdát nehodlali. Roku 542 za svého vůdce zvolili Totilu a zahájili protiofenzívu. Římanům v jednu chvíli zbyla v moci jen Ravenna a několik dalších silně opevněných měst.

Pád říše
Válečně úspěchy se až do roku 551 přelévaly z jedné strany na druhou. Pak byl ale do Itálie Justiniánem vyslán eunuch Narses, který by mohl být srovnáván s Belisariem, ale který měl mnohem víc prostředků na vedení války. O rok později zasadil Ostrogótům zdrcující porážku u Busta Gallorum (nebo také u Taginae). V bitvě zahynulo 6 000 Gótů a také sám král Totila.

Roku 554 mohl císař Justinián vyhlásit svou "pragmatickou sankci" a obnovit římskou civilní správu v Itálii. Tou dobou, ale už Ostrogóti byli jen vzpomínkou. V dlouhé válce byla Itálie zpustošena a naprostá většina Ostrogótů zahynula na bojištích nebo upadla do otroctví.

Když jejich král Theodorich porazil Odoakara ovládl Itálii. Takto se dalo vzniknout nové říši, s centrem v Ravenně.

Snažili se tu o romanizaci obyvatelstva.

Museli odolávat útokům byzantského císaře Justiniána I., což vedlo k rozpadu říše po bitvě u Vesuvu r. 553 a pak i k vyvrácení Langobardy.

Langobardská říše (568–774)
Langobardská říše měla svá původní sídla na dolním Labi. V 5. století se posunuli na jih; prošli územím Čech a Moravy.

V 6. století ovládli Itálii a vytvořili zde své království. V 8. století byli podmanění Franky a Langobardi splynuli s místním obyvatelstvem.

Vizigótská říše (507–711)
Vizigótská říše se po nájezdu Hunů přesunula z území dnešního Rumunska do Řecka a Itálie. Roku 410 dobyli Řím a pokusili se založit svůj stát i v jihozápadní Francii, v okolí Toulouse, ale pod tlakem Franků pronikli až na Pyrenejský poloostrov a založili si stát zde v okolí Toleda.

V 8. století byli poraženi Araby.

Vandalská říše (429–534)
Vandalové postoupili ze severu (Jutska) do oblasti mezi Odrou a Vislou, pak na západ do Galie a Hispánie. Jejich sídlo se jmenovalo Vandalitia – odsud název Andalusie.

Roku 429 založili v severní Africe (dnes Tunis, Alžír) nezávislé království se sídlem Kartágo. Tato jejich africká provincie prožívala konflikty s Římem.

Dobyli Sicílii a Korsiku. Za krále Geisericha r. 455 vyplenili Řím (odtud pojem vandalismus). Poté prošli romanizací obyvatel. Říše tehdy rozkvétala a prosperovala. Stále však vedli boje s Byzancí až nakonec za vlády Justiniána I. říše Vandalů byla r. 534 vojevůdcem Belisarem dobyta.

Burgundská říše
Trvala od roku 443 do roku 534. Původní kořeny měla v Dánsku,ale přesun k Visle a dále na západ. Kvůli ale neustálým nájezdům hunům byli nuceni usadit se na území Gálie (jihovýchodní Francie). Kolem roku 534 byla dobyta Franky a zůstala pod její nadvládou.

Hillary Clinton Launches New Attack on President Trump
"Hillary Clinton" (CC BY-SA 2.0) by Gage Skidmore
Coronavirus continues to weigh heavily in the political world, even as the United States progressively reopens for business.
Democrats remain relentless in their quest to attack President Trump and undermine the work of his administration. Rather than striving with the White House in the battle against COVID-19, left-wingers are more interested in trying to force socialist proposals through bills in Congress.
"2020 Briefing on the Hurricane Season" (Public Domain) by The White House
Yesterday, two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to attack the president. Clinton responded to a retweet from President Trump which censured Democrats; in so doing, she claimed that the United States is in need of a "real president," reports Fox News.
What to Know About the Latest Attack Against Trump
In keeping with the leftist way, Clinton asserted that the president bears responsibility for the 100,000-mark in U.S. coronavirus deaths. What the twice-unsuccessful presidential candidate declined to mention is that this number would be much higher if not for the work of Trump and his administration.
Nevertheless, Clinton claimed that 100,000 COVID-19 deaths happened in America "on Trump's watch." Then, she went after the president for his decision to retweet a video from a group calling themselves "Cowboys for Trump."
Over the last 24 hours, the 100,000th American died of COVID-19 on Trump's watch.
He's spent the last 24 hours sharing videos that begin "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" while complaining Twitter's censoring him.
We need a real president. https://t.co/bqnPUACScf
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 28, 2020
Thank you Cowboys. See you in New Mexico! https://t.co/aCRJeskUA8
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 28, 2020
The latest dig from Clinton comes in a pattern of various insults and petty jabs. In March, she took aim at Trump's "America First" policy after reports broke of the United States leading the world in COVID-19 cases.
He did promise "America First." https://t.co/bzks3hqCUE
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) March 27, 2020
This particular point prompted backlash, with Americans noting how a statement like this trivializes the lives suffering adverse impacts from coronavirus. As Clinton continues to speak out about coronavirus and the Trump administration, she has yet to note the steady decline of cases happening just about every day now.
What do you make of Democrats' ongoing attacks against Trump's work to beat coronavirus? What do you think about the progress of the Trump administration thus far? Sound off in the comments section below!

Budapest City Archives
http://courage.btk.mta.hu/courage/individual/n4542?sq
The Budapest City Archives (as Capital Archives) holds the second largest archival collection in Hungary. After 1873, the year of in which Buda and Pest were unified to form the city of Budapest, the archival documents were housed in the old city hall of Pest and the unused basements in the city hall of Buda, and then, as of 1887, in the New City Hall too. In 1998, Teve Street, located in the 13th district, was chosen as a site for the Archives. The new establishment was opened in 2004.
The Budapest City Archives, as a general and regional archive, keeps 35,000 linear meters of documents in the new building, which has 23,440 m2 of usable space. The documents of contemporary town self-governments and records of the town representative bodies of the socialist period are valuable sources. The collection of the People's Tribunal (1945-1949) and the documents of national and political certification committees are also rich sources for scholars. The Archive also contains many sources on economics. The documents of different associations (Duna Circle, National Pantheon Foundation etc.) also represent important collections.

Covid News and UpdatesNational & International News
As the Delta version becomes more common, the US will propose booster shots for everyone
by Pragati Singh August 18, 2021
As the Delta strain of the virus spreads swiftly across the country, US health officials are anticipated to suggest an extra dose of COVID-19 vaccine for all Americans.
A source familiar with the decision told the Reuters news agency that health officials in US President Joe Biden's administration will suggest that most people get a booster shot eight months after their initial vaccine.
The extra jabs could begin as early as mid or late September, pending authorisation from the US Food and Drug Administration, the source said.
The forthcoming recommendation by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), telegraphed by US officials last week, is being driven by both the highly contagious new variant of the virus and early signs that protection from vaccines fades within months.
The move means that the biggest mass vaccination drive in US history, which has been only partially successful, will have to expand and continue.
The US is experiencing a fourth wave of the pandemic as the Delta variant spreads aggressively through unvaccinated communities in the US – notably southern states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas – and causing an increasing number of "breakthrough infections" of fully inoculated people.
US has fully vaccinated 168 million people, or about 62 percent of the adult population as of August 16, according to the CDC. Those numbers are below benchmarks set by the Biden administration for the national vaccination programme by now.
The US now is admitting to hospital more than 11,000 people a day with symptoms of COVID-19, according to the CDC.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey issued an emergency order on Friday as the state's hospitals faced a surge in COVID-19 cases and available intensive care beds were filled up with the very ill.
"We have to really make sure that while we're spending a lot of time and effort on third doses that we don't undermine our campaign for first vaccinations," Lawrence Gostin, a public health specialist at Georgetown University, said Tuesday.
"That's truly the existential crisis in the United States," Gostin told The Associated Press.
One positive trend in the US, vaccination rates have been increasing as people see the virus resurge.
Harris County, Texas, home to the US's fourth-largest city Houston, is offering people $100 gift cards to get jabs in the latest incentive offered by local officials to boost the area's lagging vaccination rate, according to the Houston Chronicle newspaper.
In New York, the governor has ordered that all healthcare workers in the state including at hospitals and nursing homes receive a vaccine against COVID-19.
Biden issued an order on Tuesday directing the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to cover 100 percent of local costs for emergency measures and provide federal support for state governor's use of the National Guard to staff mass vaccination sites.
US trials reveal AstraZeneca safe and effective for use
by Vaishali Sharma March 22, 2021
Backing the AstraZeneca vaccine, Dr Dhiren Gupta, Pediatrician from Sir Gangaram Hospital, said that the result of the trial conducted by the US with the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine areout and reveal that the vaccine was 79% effective at stopping symptomatic Covid disease and 100% effective at preventing serious illness.
The data revealed that there were no safety issues regarding the blood clots and confirmed that the shot is both highly effective and safe.
The trial was conducted by experts at Columbia University and the University of Rochester in collaboration with AstraZeneca, on more than 32,000 volunteers, mostly from America, and also from Chile and Peru.
Lead investigator of the Oxford University trial of the vaccine, Prof Andrew Pollard said: "'These results are great news as they show the remarkable efficacy of the vaccine in a new population and are consistent with the results from Oxford-led trials.
Prof Sarah Gilbert, co-designer of the vaccine, said: "In many different countries and across age groups, the vaccine is providing a high level of protection against Covid-19 and we hope this will lead to even more widespread use of the vaccine in the global attempts to bring the pandemic to an end."
Prof Gilbert said there were always cases of people falling ill after receiving a vaccine, particularly when very large numbers of were receiving a jab, but that did not mean that the vaccine was responsible for the problems. Meanwhile thousands of people a day were now dying across Europe from Covid-19.
She said: "It is really important that we get the chance to protect people as quickly as possible. This vaccine will save lives."


The Midtown Violets are no strangers to San Pedro. Songstress Karen Waldup first brought her dynamic voice and charm to San Pedro in September 2012 when she performed benefit concerts for the Mama Vilma Family Home at both Wet Willy's and Grand Caribe. In May 2013 she returned to La Isla as a Midtown Violet with partner Ashlee K Thomas to again hold benefit concerts for the same cause. Islanders had a chance to listen to melodious songs from the pair of gifted musicians, becoming more than just fans but friends of the ladies as well.
Now Midtown Violets enthusiasts can enjoy even more of their music on the newly released album "Don't Give Up" which came out on January 12th. This album is the first collaboration for the ladies since they began performing as a duo in 2011 and contains tracks by both Karen and Ashlee. In speaking with The San Pedro Sun the excited ladies shared with us quite a bit on their new album and on how the Midtown Violets came to be.
Karen Waldrup and Ashlee K Thomas were both solo artists for ten years before joining forces to create Midtown Violets in 2011. What started out as two friends playing songs together turned into a full time venture, as venues continued to offer their stages to the talented team. The girls have performed over 500 shows together and through this have developed refined musical numbers, with great harmonies, guitar and violin solos, and even a washboard and harmonica at times. Both Karen and Ashlee have recorded solo albums of their own, which they sold successfully however, when people began requesting an album containing the songs they have written together it was time to start working.
In Nashville, Tennessee's (USA) thriving country music industry the ladies are set apart from other acts by their acceptance for an actual life on the highway, and their willingness to set up their own equipment and do their hair and makeup in bathrooms when there's no where else to get ready, an aspect of performing many artists shy away from. "We are not afraid to do whatever it takes to put on a great live show and I think that the last two years of building our muscles and our craft separates us from other acts in Nashville. "- Karen Waldrup.
In describing the new album, "Don't Give Up," there's need for only one word-joyful. "We wanted an album that was parallel to our purpose in playing live; spreading joy. Every song on this album is about joy and is joyful." While many of the songs performed by the duo in the past involved a lot of heartbreak and sadness, this one is completely uplifting and joyful.
While Midtown Violets will begin their album tour from Nashville to Salt Lake City, Utah and everywhere in between, the ladies plan on promoting the album for an entire year and are looking forward to going anywhere the music takes them, hopefully even one day back to San Pedro again.

City Guide for Conshohocken, PA
"Some of the residents of Conshohocken, PA are concerned because Kitty Foyle's father, in Christopher Morley's novel 'Kitty Foyle,' uses the name of their town as a swear word. Others think that it may help advertise the town. One thing is sure -- it makes a rattling good cuss-word." (New York Times Columnist)
Conshohocken is a place that is just as interesting as its name. What the name actually means is unclear and really depends on the pronunciation, so there are three contenders for the true Unami-Lenapi Delaware Indian meaning; "Elegant-ground-place," "Large-bowl-ground-place," or "Big-through-ground-place." All three names actually appropriately describe Conshy, as locals lovingly call the borough. Beautiful developments resulted in very elegant buildings and large interstate highways passing the town, making it a "big-through place." The Schuylkill river forms a large bowl at the bend where Conshohocken is situated. See more
What to keep in mind when looking for apartments with move-in specials in Conshohocken, PA
Move-in specials offer an enticing incentive to Conshohocken apartment renters looking to save. However, it's important to ask about any stipulations to the move-in specials. A free month's rent may only apply to specific apartment floors or basic amenities instead of the apartment you really want.
Other move-in specials might include a lowered or no security deposit option. Keep in mind the lack of security deposit means you are responsible for damage when moving out.
No application fees are also popular move-in specials, which will immediately put more money back in your pocket.
Conshohocken apartments are more likely to offer move-in specials during an off-season like winter when fewer people are moving. You may be able to negotiate your own special like free parking for a year in the paid garage.

Woman Arrested For DUI And Manslaughter After Holiday Man Killed In I-4 Crash
Filed Under:Arrested, DUI, florida, I-4, Interstate, Killed, Manslaughter, polk county
POLK COUNTY, Fla. (CW44 News At 10)–46-year-old Lucretia Bruno of Lakeland was arrested Wednesday night, November 24, 2021, for DUI Manslaughter (F2), after she struck and killed a Holiday man on Interstate 4 West near mile marker 28 and SR 528. The crash occurred around 8:45 p.m.
From evidence and witness statements gathered, a white 1999 Ford F250 and a black 2014 Ford Mustang had been involved in a minor crash on westbound I4, east of the West 10th Street overpass. Both vehicles were stopped on the north side paved shoulder area, had exchanged drivers' information, and were preparing to leave the area. The driver of the Mustang and his two passengers were sitting inside their vehicle. The driver of the pick-up truck had walked back to the driver side of his vehicle; his passenger was inside the truck.

At the same time, a white 2017 Ford Fusion, driven by Bruno, entered I4 from the US 98 onramp and was observed in the outside lane driving erratically and drifting over the right fog line several times. As Bruno approached the pick-up truck and Mustang, she drifted even farther over the fog line striking the driver's side of the pick-up truck and the driver who was standing at the opened door. The impact of the crash propelled the driver into the Fusion's windshield.
Bruno then crashed into the rear of the Mustang, pushing it forward and causing the driver of the pick-up truck to fall from the Fusion's windshield and strike the bumper of the Mustang.
Bruno's Fusion rotated clockwise and continued west for about 50 feet before coming to a stop on the north shoulder of I4 facing south.
The driver of the pick-up truck died at the scene.
No one else was injured.
Witnesses said that after the crash, Bruno stumbled from her car and had to steady herself by holding on to her vehicle's trunk.

Bruno told deputies that she had just left a bar where she drank 5 or 6 beers, and she was on her way home.
According to the affidavit, Deputies smelled alcohol on Bruno, her eyes were watery, and her speech was slurred. Deputies observed Bruno to be unsteady on her feet, she swayed from side to side, lost her balance several times, and would raise her hands away from her side to help steady herself.
Bruno consented to a blood alcohol test; the results are still pending.
"There is never an excuse to drink and drive. A family has lost a loved one because of this woman decided to get behind the wheel of a car after consuming 5 or more beers. There are so many alternative options available, from calling a a friend or family member to using a ride sharing application. Please, this holiday season, and throughout the year, don't drink and drive," said Grady Judd, Sheriff
Bruno was transported to the Sheriff's Processing Center and arrested for DUI (M1), 2 counts of DUI with Property Damage (M1), and DUI Manslaughter (F2). She is currently in the Polk County Jail with no bond.
Bruno is a secretary at Padgette Elementary School.

UNLV Libraries Joins Library of Congress' Name Authority Cooperative Program
Submitted by SKennedy on Tue, 11/15/2022 - 14:31
The UNLV University Libraries has been approved as an institutionally independent contributor to the Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO), part of the Library of Congress' Program for Cooperative Cataloging. UNLV is the only library system in Southern Nevada to join NACO, and only the second in the state.
"This is a tremendous achievement for UNLV and representative of our Libraries commitment to diversifying the historical record and ensuring the inclusion of many great Nevadans who have shaped our region," said Maggie Farrell, Dean of UNLV Libraries. "I commend our Libraries faculty for initiating this process, which included many hours of training, and achieving this status so quickly.
NACO is an institutional commitment that grants member institutions the ability to create and update name authority records in the Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF).
"Name Authority Records provide unique and uniform access points – for example, a standardized form of a person's name – in library catalogs," said Stephanie Fell, Specialized Collections Catalog Librarian and one of the leaders on UNLV's efforts to join NACO. "These records are then available for use by libraries worldwide. They make sure names are consistently identified within a library's collections and also across different library collections, facilitating discovery of library materials, particularly our unique local collections."
In addition to allowing for consistent discovery of library collections, this NACO work ensures Uniform Resource Identifiers for these names are created in the Library of Congress' Linked Data service so they can be linked to Wikidata entities and the Virtual International Authority File, which helps make the records discoverable internationally.
Name Authority Records can be personal names, corporate bodies, or geographic places.
Prior to submitting an application to join NACO, the University Libraries conducted several pilot projects to confirm that the Libraries had names to contribute and update in the LCNAF.
"As part of these pilots, more than 180 records created or updated, including correcting the NAR for Lilly Fong, whose name had been misspelled in the LCNAF, which we could tell in part because UNLV has a building with her name on it," said Carol Ou, Head of Discovery Services. "The pilots demonstrated that we regularly encounter names significant to UNLV and the greater Las Vegas and Southern Nevada community, or otherwise relevant to our library collections, that could be contributed to the LCNAF."
The University Libraries applied to join NACO in Summer 2021 and participated in a specialized training program, with participants from several departments in the Libraries, including Fell, Ou, Amanda Slater, Cyrus Ford, Darnelle Melvin, Sarah Jones, and Tad McGuire.
An external review process and probationary period began in March 2022. During this process, the Libraries worked with an experienced reviewer at Brigham Young University to ensure the newly created Name Authority Records followed NACO guidelines and met quality standards.
During the Libraries' probationary period with NACO, faculty and staff have been able to update or create Name Authority Records significant to UNLV Libraries' collections and local history. Some examples include Harry Reid International Airport (Nev.); McCarran International Airport (Nev.); Alamo Field; Tony Hsieh; Circus Circus Hotel & Casino ; UNLV professor David Baird; University Medical Center (Las Vegas, Nev.); and Goodman, Carolyn, 1939-.
The UNLV University Libraries officially became an independent NACO contributor in September.

The Mosin-Nagant is one of the most well-known rifles in the world and is likely the most used rifle in all of modern warfare. In this review, we will dive into looking at this dated weapon technology.

Shooting the Mosin-Nagant
To start this look at the M91/30 Mosin Nagant and its major carbine versions, the M38 and M44, we first need to look back in time to reflect and know where the design came from.
In 1891, the Three Line Rifle was introduced into the service of the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire was formed in 1721. Obviously, this time period is pre-modern day Russia, and even pre-USSR.
The Three Line rifle would be fielded by the Russian Empire until 1930 when an overhaul of the design was made that brought about a few advancements, but the general shape of the Mosin stayed the same. At that point, the M1891 would be known as the M91/30.

Looking back through the decades gives us a pretty good glance at where the Mosin Nagant rifle has been.
Until recently, most of these relics have been tucked into storage while soaked in cosmoline since the fall of the USSR. Cosmoline is a generic petroleum-based product that has been used to help prevent rust and preserve the condition of these old warhorses of a rifle.
Funny enough, when the rifle was introduced the cavalry wasn't mechanized as it is today, so they were quite literally fielded from horseback. This is one of the driving factors in the development of a carbine version sometimes referred to as Cossack Rifles. They were developed and sighted to be used without bayonets. This is a logical choice as the chances of injuring the mount or the soldier was much higher with a bayonet either in their pack or mounted on the rifle itself.
Although it would appear like the rifle did not progress much over time, you have to keep in mind the country of origin and their philosophy when it comes to tools and even weapons for that matter.
Sergei Ivanovich Mosin, who was a Russian Engineer and a Major General in the Russian Imperial Army is said to be the main contributor to the design of the Mosin-Nagant rifle. His original design was called the Three Line Rifle.
General Mosin was entered into a military academy around the age of 12 and continued his education through several different ones until he graduated in 1875 and was sent to the Tula Arsenal where he worked in the machining division.
Leon Nagant, a Belgian, became attached to the rifle development after his submission failed and he filed a field suit after obtaining patents based off of Mosin's designs. Mosin could not file for patents as the design was viewed as property of Russia and not his own as he was a military officer.
At the turn of the age when black powder became a thing of the past, many standing armies the world over realized they needed a new, improved rifle to put in the hands of their fighting men.
Some nations decide to make entirely new rifles along with the cartridges to shoot them to be able to take full advantage of the continuing advancement of technology and manufacturing processes. Some like to stick with what they know to work best.
The latter is what the Russian government chose to do as they sought to update their stock of Three Line Rifles or M1891's into the M91/30.
A vast majority of their former stock was converted into the M91/30.
The changes included simplification of the receiver and slight adjustments to the sights. Also, there were changes in the forestock and barrel bands.
The Mosin-Nagant caliber is the 7.62x54mmR and we previously covered the 7.62x54mmR cartridge in-depth, we will briefly recap here.
The 7.62x54R cartridge is a fully rimmed cartridge firing a .30 caliber ball round. The primer and powder both can be corrosive, and damage your rifle if left uncleaned.
This cartridge was developed in replacement of previous black powder rounds and has seen vast use in almost every theater of war since in Europe, Asia, and even in the Middle East and Africa.
The first conflict seen by the Mosin-Nagant rifle is generally accepted to be the Russo-Japanese war. This war was fought between 1904 and 1905. The model used in this conflict was the M1891.
Continuing with the use of the M1891 they would see use in The Great War (WWI). Interestingly enough, The Russians would order around 1.5 million M1891's from Remington Arms in the USA and around 1.8 million from New England Westinghouse Company. Nowhere near this amount would see production, and even fewer would see delivery for reasons we will not venture into here.
In the interwar years between WWI and WWII, the M1891 would see deployment to several civil wars in and around Europe.
By the start of WWII, almost all of the M1891's had been updated to the M91/30's that we are more familiar with today. The change took place in 1930, hence the updated nomenclature M91/30.
Since the end of WWII, these rifles have seen deployment to every major soviet connected conflict. They have appeared in Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and most recently Ukraine.
This goes to show how prolific this rifle has become. A basic design from over 130 years ago is still seeing active conflict to this day in 2022.
There are several variants of the original M1891. Obviously, the M91/30 was the next major development.
Following the M91/30, some were taken and given a side-mounted low-power scope and a dog-legged bolt and turned into marksman rifles.
The scope was located close to the centerline of the rifle, thus making it necessary to change the bolt design. These rifles are generally referred to as M91/30 PU.
In 1938 the Model M38 was introduced. The M38 would be a carbine version of the M91/30. The barrel was shortened for troops that typically would not see front-line combat. This would include artillery and other rear echelon troops.
The M38 would be issued with the same style detachable bayonet found on the M91/30.
1944 would see the next main development in the M44. The M44 was basically the M38, but now with an attached side-folding bayonet. This makes logistics simple but adds a ton of weight as the bayonet and its folding/locking mechanism are made out of steel.
I'm going to just right into the Mosin-Nagant review as it's a fairly simple rifle in terms of controls and components.
As with a lot of pre turn of the century rifles, the muzzle of the Mosin-Nagant doesn't have a lot going on.
Like most rifles of the era, the muzzle does accept a bayonet. The bayonet slides over the barrel and is a cruciform design. Interesting to note, this design is said to have been chosen because it was hard to sew closed once stabbed. This would be advantageous in war for obvious reasons. The design would be banned later.
The front sight on the M91/30 is a simple windage driftable post protected by a full hood.
The hood would serve two purposes, one would be to protect the sight post from becoming bumped and thus bending it, and losing zero.
The second purpose would be to shade the post from direct sunlight. This would aid in sighting the rifle in the direct sun, allowing the shooter to see the post without glare.
The Barrel of the M91/30 is a whopping 29 inches long. This is truly massive when you consider most rifles in today's time top out at 16-18 inches. Even the long M16 barrel at 20 inches is dwarfed by this length.
The length of the barrel along with the 7.62x54R cartridge is what makes the Mosin-Nagant such a viable weapon to this day.
As stated above the barrel of the Mosin is chambered in 7.62x54mmR. This round is a devastating cartridge capable of accurate hits well out to 500 yards.
The stocks on the Mosin-Nagant rifles are wood and covered in a lacquer. The wartime productions are typically made from beech, laminated beech, or laminated birch.
The stock construction is typically made from two separate pieces that are glued together. This aided in the simplicity of construction and helped keep costs low.
Found on virtually all wooden-stocked Military Surplus rifles are cartouches. A cartouche is basically a stamp that would denote any number of things about the rifle.
Some cartouches are rare and are highly sought after by collectors. If you have a Mosin Nagant with cartouches, it would be a good idea to try and research the meaning and you may end up finding out some of the history of your particular rifle.
The Mosin Nagant is a bolt-action rifle. The bolt has a 90-degree throw, from the 3 o'clock position when locked to the 12 o'clock position when rotated to unlock.
As mentioned earlier, the PU versions of the Mosin-Nagant would receive a modified bolt to be able to clear the bell of the scope.
The bolt-on the Mosin-Nagant would utilize two locking lugs found at the front of the bolt.
The striker is a cock on lock design.
The safety is located on the rear of the bolt and requires you to pull back against the spring and rotate it to a shelf to make it safe. To be ready to fire you need to pull the knob to the rear and rotate it back to the vertical position.
The magazine on the Mosin-Nagant rifle is a permanently attached box. It is attached to the bottom of the action and passes through the stock.
The magazine has a catch on the bottom that opens the door downward. This can be used to administratively unload the magazine from the rifle.
To load the magazine, you can load individual rounds into the top by hand, or you can use a stripper clip that is held in place by guides milled into the receiver.
You must take notice when loading the Mosin-Nagant of how the rimmed cartridges are placed once in the magazine. If you do not load them the correct way, they may become locked on each other when you cycle the bolt of the rifle. This is referred to as rim-lock. While mostly an inconvenience, it is a drawback to a fighting rifle.
There is really not much to say about the trigger on a Mosin-Nagant, other than to say it is plain.
Somewhat surprisingly, there is an aftermarket for M91/30 triggers. Who knew?!
To field strip this relic, the first step like all firearms is to make sure it is not loaded.
After you have made the rifle safe, you can then remove the bolt. To remove the bolt you simply pull the bolt back to the rearmost travel point and when you feel it catch, pull the trigger. This allows for the bolt to slide past its catch and be removed from the rifle.
The next thing is to remove the forend. To accomplish this, you must remove the barrel bands. These are the rings of metal that go around the forend of the rifle. Each is held in place by a spring that must be compressed to allow for the bands to be slid to the front of the rifle. Once these are removed, the top of the forend can be separated and taken off.
Next, unscrew the cleaning rod from its position below the barrel.
After removing the cleaning rod, you will need to remove the magazine base plate/follower. This is accomplished by releasing the door and squeezing the follower and spring to the baseplate. This allows for the clamp to be released and you can then separate the mechanism from the magazine.
You must then remove the screw located at the bottom of the magazine tang. If you have a model that has a detachable bayonet, the tip of the bayonet doubles as a flat head screwdriver. If you do not, you can use the tool kit that was issued along with the rifle or simply a large flat head screwdriver.
The next screw that will be removed is located at the rear of the receiver on the top side. It is the receiver tang screw.
The same tools can be utilized to remove this screw as the previous one.
After you have these parts removed, the barrel, action, and trigger can be lifted from the stock. The magazine and trigger guard may then be removed from the bottom of the stock.
This is as far as one would need to break the Mosin-Nagant down to clean. When cleaning, it is advisable to use a solution that contains ammonia, as this will cut the corrosive salts left behind if you have fired such ammo through the rifle.
The bolt can then be disassembled to complete the strip of the rifle. First, you will need to decock the bolt. This is accomplished by rotating the bolt head 90 degrees.
The guide rod will slide off the front of the bolt along with the bolt head/face. To remove the bolt head, rotate it until the grove allows it to travel away from the guide rod.
The next step you will use the forked portion of the guide rod to turn the firing pin until it releases. You must take note that the firing pin is under pressure from the firing spring. If you do not keep pressure on it, it will go flying.
Once you have the firing pin and spring removed, the rear cocking knob will come off the body of the bolt.
This is the complete field strip of the Mosin-Nagant Rifle.
Shooting the Mosin-Nagant is shooting a piece of history. When you heft the M91/30 up to your shoulder you take notice of its weight. It is a solid piece of wood and steel. This weight comes as an advantage when you pull the trigger because the 7.62x54R is no slouch. There's a reason it is still used to this day.
If you are shooting a carbine version of the M91/30, you can now say "goodbye" to your target and situational awareness, because the fireball that emanates out of the barrel of this thing is gargantuan. I have not gotten a chance to measure, but I would estimate the length to be at least three feet long, and at least a foot across.
To say the Mosin-Nagant is fun to shoot would be too easy. The controls and sights of years past coupled with the powerful cartridge make for an enjoyable time at the range, if you're outdoors that is. I can not imagine shooting the Mosin-Nagant inside.
My final thoughts on any version of the Mosin-Nagant rifle are this; If you are lucky enough to find a non-bubba'd or "sporterized" version of this classic Military Surplus rifle, buy it.
I know the pricing has gone through the roof recently, not only due to the inflation we are seeing in 2022 but due to the availability of the surplus market as well.
Once imports dry up, you run the risk of not having another batch come into the USA for quite a while. With the current situation between Russia and Ukraine, this simple but solid war horse may become even rarer in the near future.
Don't miss out on your chance to own a piece of history.
You might have a few questions related to the Mosin-Nagant and here are a few of the most common.
Is a Mosin Nagant a good rifle?
The Mosin-Nagant is a decent rifle for its time. However, it is a rifle that has been outpaced by the latest technology but they are fantastic rifles to have for the collection and to see where our modern rifles came from.
Is my Mosin Nagant worth anything?
Prices on all firearms have increased in recent years and the Mosin-Nagant rifles are no different. Many used to be bought for $50-$100 but now can be sold for $300-$500 depending on the quality and condition of the rifle.

If Step 4 is the heart, then this final step of nexus prayer is the soul. We arrive at Step 5 of nexus prayer having previously acknowledged the presence of God (Step 1), recognized the great I AM (Step 2), ruminated on knowing God (Step 3), being still (letting go of everything in our life) with God (Step 4), and our final goal is now to simply "be" with God.
As mankind's Creator (Elohim)¹, God made us human be-ings in His image – no surprise since God's sacred name (YHVH) is derived from the Semitic root word that means "to be."² Genesis 2:4 Here we are not speaking directly to God or even thinking about God, but rather just "being" with – listening to – God.
So, whereas in Step 4 we were "still" (letting go of every thing in our life) to God, here in Step 5 we are simply "being" with God – giving God permission and allowing Him to "download" directly into our mind, body, soul, and spirit whatever He chooses and knows that we need..
SIT: With your eyes closed during the fifteen seconds of preparation time, sit comfortably in a chair with the palms of your hands turned downward by your side or in your lap. Breathe normally, and just let your body relax, letting go of anything and everything that comes to your mind..
VISUALIZE: For a few seconds, ruminate on the word "Be".
LISTEN: Then, simply be. Be still, silent, and listen to God, ignoring any and all thoughts, problems, memories, sounds, or distractions that may come your way. Should internal thoughts or external distractions arise, simply dismiss them by returning to the prayer word, "BE", of this step of Psalm 46:10. Continue in nexus prayer until the chime of your prayer timer³ signals you to move to the next step or the completion of your Nexus Prayer.
Regardless of the time interval I choose to pray, I like to complete my sessions of nexus prayer with a final request for God to "be with me", to "be with we", to help each of us to "be with Thee" – one for each chime of the fifteen second "cool down" session of nexus prayer.

The figure below shows the tercile hits and misses for the last 12 completed forecast periods.
The forecast distribution is constructed from 5000 forecast ensemble members generated by the BJP model, with each member having the same probability of occurring. The hit and miss concept is applied to each ensemble member of a forecast. A tercile hit is when the forecast ensemble member is in the same tercile as the observed streamflow. A miss by 1 is when the forecast ensemble member is one tercile different from the tercile of the observed streamflow. A miss by 2 is when the forecast ensemble member is two terciles different from the tercile of the observed streamflow. The hit rate, miss by 1 rate and miss by 2 rate are then averaged across all locations to provide a cumulative percentage. For forecasts that were based purely on the historical record you could expect that the tercile hits would average 33% (indicated by the pink dotted line in the figure below).

With "Venom" now in theaters, and unexpectedly breaking box-office records, it marks the latest addition to the long-running "Spider-Man" franchise.
Of course, "Venom" is nothing like any previous "Spider-Man" movie — it doesn't even feature the famous wall-crawling superhero. Instead, it tells the origin story of one of his classic villains, as reporter Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) is taken over by an alien parasite and transformed into the anti-hero Venom.
With the character arguably more popular than ever on screen thanks to the MCU and "Venom," more movies will be coming. "Homecoming" sequel "Spider-Man: Far From Home" arrives in theaters next year, and Sony is developing more villainous spin-offs like "Venom," including Kraven the Hunter and Morbius movies.
The first "Amazing Spider-Man" hardly justifies its existence, which makes its sequel all the more pointless. It doesn't do itself any favors by failing to learn the lessons of "Spider-Man 3" — there are too many plot points and too many villains. We get the Green Goblin (again), Electro, and five seconds of the Rhino that actor Paul Giamatti somehow agreed to.

ThreatMetrix(R), The Digital Identity Company(R), today revealed that cybercrime attacks have reached their highest-ever levels, with 144 million attacks detected over the last 90 days. The Asia Pacific region has seen a 45% growth in cybercrime year-on-year. As attack levels rise globally, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting emerging digital business models, such as ridesharing apps and media streaming organisations, demonstrating the evolving nature of cybercrime.
"Highly organised criminal gangs have set their sights on disruptive, mobile-heavy industries like media streaming and ridesharing. As new business models take the digital economy by storm, innovative methods of monetising stolen credentials found on the dark web are emerging," says Vanita Pandey, vice president of product marketing and strategy at ThreatMetrix. "With ridesharing apps, for instance, fraudsters are taking trips using stolen credit cards or propagating two-party fraud by using a fake driver account and 'accepting customers' using stolen credentials."

Garrison Bowman: The only named material witness in the case, Garrison Bowman was a 60-year-old carpenter from Madison, N.C. Bowman left the country for Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, the day after Michael and Mary were killed and Jennifer was abducted. He leased a mobile home about a mile away from where Jennifer's remains were found. Bowman was never indicted by a grand jury, and has since passed away.
Both Michael and Mary are located inside the home, each with a single gunshot wound to the head. Michael was found lying on a couch in the garage where he sometimes watched TV; Mary was in her bed.
According to Lt. Curtis Spence, the house was up for sale, and looked well-kept. Jennifer's mattress was moved about two inches, and her pillow was on the floor. Someone had cut the phone line to the house.
Search warrants show detectives took 66 items from the Shorts' home including two .22 shell casings found near the bodies of Michael and Mary Short who were each shot once, a .22 caliber shotgun, a rifle and ammunition, and $600 and blank checks.
Henry County Sheriff Lane Perry said DNA evidence was collected inside the home, but has not specified exactly what evidence was located.
Investigators filmed Michael and Mary Short's funeral to see if anyone presented odd behavior, but said they found no red flags.
The FBI released several sketches in 2009. The drawings show a flatbed truck said to be near the home in the early hours the day of the murder, and a man with a 'weathered' complexion believed to be inside.

Students work with communities in India to protect homes from flooding
Architecture students from De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) are helping to improve homes in one of the poorest parts of India, protecting residents from devastating floods.
Each year heavy rains in the Gujarat region force hundreds of people to leave home while their dwellings are flooded.
But now working in collaboration with a local architect Anand Sonecha, DMU students have helped develop designs to modify homes in the Loving Community – populated by more than 430 residents, of which, 40 are former leprosy sufferers.
These designs are currently under construction and are aimed to be complete in time for this year's monsoon season.
The community is served by Manav Sadhna, a local charity based at the Gandhi Ashram – former home to Mahatma Gandhi – and which built the Loving Community Centre and which provides free food, workshops and educational programmes for residents of the community.
DMU works in partnership with Manav Sadhna and has carried out other work in India through collaboration with the charity.
The idea was originally conceived by DMU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dominic Shellard, to be delivered through the university's Square Mile India project, which carries out public good work throughout the country.
Professor Shellard was inspired to draw on the skills and experience of students and academics on the Architecture course during a visit to the Loving Community in January this year.
He said: "Because the community is situated in the bed of an old river, the monsoon waters in May and June rise up through the floor of their dwellings. This means the people living there have to move out and sleep on the floors of a community centre for several months.
"I felt that trying to provide a solution to enable the community to remain in their homes through the monsoon season was exactly the kind of project that DMU and Square Mile India should embrace.
"At DMU, we aim to utilise the skills and experience on our campus for the public good, both in our local community and across the world. This project shows the true mutual benefits of this commitment."

Abseiling fundraisers brave new heights for the needy in India
He then tasked Simon Bradbury, DMU's Head of Architecture, to fly out to the community, near Ahmedabad, with several Architecture students, to assess the site.
The team identified two properties as prototypes and developed a design to raise the home above flood level.
Work on these modifications has now begun, with contractors remodelling the foundation s of the two prototype homes, with the aim being that the properties are ready ahead of this year's monsoon season, in June.
The cost of the works has been met by fundraising carried out by DMU students, staff and friends of the university, with activities being held on campus, including a sponsored abseil.
Mr Bradbury said the project was a powerful illustration of the social value of architecture.
He said: "This project offers students an opportunity to experience first-hand construction processes – which are difficult to replicate in the classroom - in a very different cultural context, working with significant resource challenges.
"This will provide them both with technical skills but also importantly an understanding of the social value of architecture."
Over the coming months, the aim is for the project to expand, involving all of the year two students with the intention of designing and building a further two homes and designing and fundraising for the construction of up to eight additional homes by April 2019.

Q: How does the Yoneda lemma imply that $\mathrm{Hom}(yC,P)$ is a set? I'm reading Awodey's Category Theory (1st ed) and at page 166 I did not found out the proof of one of the remarks (remark 8.4):

If $C$ is locally small, then $\mathsf{Sets}^{C^{\text{op}}}$ needs not be locally small. In this case, the Yoneda Lemma tells us that $\mathrm{Hom}(yC,P)$ is always a set.

I understand well what is the Yoneda lemma, and its proof, but I didn't understand why it could tell that $\mathrm{Hom}(yC,P)$ is a set... Note: here, $yC$ is the covariant Yoneda embedding applied to $C$, that is $\mathrm{Hom}(-,C)$.
Could anyone help me with some track?

A: The Yoneda lemma tells you that the collection of natural transformations from the representable functor $\mathrm{Hom}(-,C):\mathcal{C}\to\mathsf{Set}$ to a contravariant functor $P:\mathcal{C}\to\mathsf{Set}$ is in bijection with the elements of $P(C)$, and thus  is essentially small (not technically the same thing as being a set; see Martin's and Zhen's comments).
In the category $\mathsf{Set}^{\mathcal{C}^{\text{op}}}$, $\mathrm{Hom}(yC,P)$ is precisely this collection of natural transformations.
