MAGISTRÁLA = NEW PRAGUE BOULEVARD
What We Have Accomplished
Promoting Change
Air – Motion – Sound at I.P. Pavlova Square (June 15th, 2017)
This one-day event was collaborated with intermediate artist Michael Kindernay. Under the title Air – Motion – Sound, we prepared a series of activities for the I.P. Pavlova Square. The purpose of the event was to discuss with the citizens of Prague, who are passing through the area every day, the possibilities of improving the I.P. Pavlova Square and its transformation away from a busy intersection. At the same time, we wanted to inform the public about the movement of people, air pollution, and noise present in one of Prague's most frequented places. The source of all of the information was measured with digital instruments, which we processed into a comprehensible form and communicated with the public through a series of postcards and small artistic and social activities.
Canaries, DIY measuring devices, were installed around I. P. Pavlova showing first floor dust values above 300 mg/ m³, which exceeds acceptable values.
White linens were hung out of windows around the I. P. Pavlova Square. The linens, which were dirty due to air pollution, were flaunted by models prepared by Jitka Pospíšilová. Every half an hour the models were shown for 6 seconds, or the length of time pedestrians have to cross the busy crosswalk.
Movement Illustrator Zuzana Bramborová captured the movement of people on the Magistrála directly on the I.P. Pavlova Square.
Through the Magistrála:
In the space at the city center between the National Museum and the Nuselským Bridge, over 104,200 pedestrians cross the highway daily, as opposed to 81,600 cars. Although there are more pedestrians in the area than cars, the space is almost completely dedicated to car traffic.
This data is based on the measurements made by the TSK in April 2013 within the 14-day measurement between 6:00am-10:00pm.
Around the Magistrála:
There are 144,000 people in the Magistrála area, between the National Museum and the Nuselským Bridge, daily. This is more than the amount living in Libereci or Olomouci. Only one in a hundred stays here for more than 30 minutes. What will make people stay longer?

Sound maps:
Michal Kindernay created a visual sound map of the city's driving paths. It shows a visual representation of the sound throughout the Magistála. On the streets Sokolská and Legerova, it was not a quest for silence, but rather the recognition of the unbearable noise of a traffic junction in the middle of the city.
Relax on the Magistála:
At the event, pedestrians had the chance to immerse themselves in the silence that the square has the potential for. Special headphones also transformed the noise of busy cars into music that the pedestrians could listen to while they enjoyed the picnic under the trees.
Harp on the Magistrála:
The picnic was accompanied by harp performer Kateřina Zochová. She started playing at 3:30pm.
Public Support:
During the event, we asked pedestrians passing by to give their opinion on the project at hand. They were asked whether they agreed with the project, disliked the project, or did not care about the project. Pedestrians were also asked to include suggestions on a separate board to further gain public opinions.
The First Tree on the Magistrála (2015)
London Plane (Platanus hispanica) was planted at the corner of Boženy Němcové / Legerova: One month and one day after the opening of the Blanka Tunnel on October 20, 2015, International Tree Day, we decided to continue our transformation efforts on the North-South Magistrála Conjunction by planting its first tree, which became the nucleus of the Prague alleys lining the Magistrála.
Open Stage I.P. Pavlova (2013)
This two-week public gathering transformed the current side parking lot into a meeting place and a stage for performances, Prague cultural initiatives, and citizens. We tested whether one of the most exclusive squares, Vinohrad, can again become a lively place. The event attracted 96,000 visitors for 14 days, and, with only small budget, turned a part of the intersection into active public space. The project involved about 100 volunteers and included more than 40 different activities. Open Stage I.P. Pavlova won an honorable mention at the Grand Prix of Architects 2014 in the category of Urbanism.
The initiative for the humanization of the highway between neighborhoods Prague 2, Prague 4, and Prague 7 (2012)
This picture shows the document in which the first district agreed on joint steps leading to the transformation of the highway.
Prague Highway Vision (2011)
The exhibition dedicated to the history of Prague's North-South Magistrála conjunction was connected with informal discussions between the citizens and the Department of the Development of the City of Prague (Today's Institute for Planning and Development).
Negotiations with the City (2011)
We initiated the first joint meeting of politicians and professionals from the municipality and city districts. These experts were invited to discuss the topic of transforming the highway.
Project Converging Territories (2010-2011)
Architectural studios Elastik and MAT from the Netherlands are part of this international project (Prague – Dublin – Paris) and have called for cooperation to improve highway conditions. Their studies became the basis for opening up the debate for "urbanizing" the North-South conjunction.
Crossing the Sokolská Street (2010)
Rolling out the red carpet through the crossing, in cooperation with Tomas Džadoň, symbolized prioritizing pedestrians over cars. The pedestrian crosswalk at I.P. Pavlova is busy most of the day, but it only gives pedestrians 6 seconds to cross and cars 60 seconds. Every other day the cops give fines for non-compliant pedestrians while crossing.
English EN Česky CZ
A friendly, urban boulevard for pedestrians and drivers:
More pedestrian crossings
Busy avenue with a tree alley on both sides
Wider sidewalks
A live public space with restaurants, shops and cafés
Bicycle path for greater traffic safety
Since 2010, we have aimed to transform the highway in close cooperation with other associations, authorities, politicians, and the City of Prague, with Czech and foreign architects, urban planners, volunteers and active citizens.

Day Seven: The Scores, 1954
Is there any branch more exclusive than the Music one? In looking up the usual trivia of previous nominees, past winners, etc., I found that of the thirteen composers nominated - and I'm including both Musical and Non-Musical categories - all but two were either previous nominees, previous winners, or on their first of many nominations. Only Larry Adler and Leonard Bernstein, both up for Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, were one-and-dones, though it's worth noting that Saul Chaplin, a co-winner for Scoring of a Musical Picture, would once again triumph in that same category for co-adapting Bernstein's West Side Story compositions for the cinema.
The nominees after the jump, starting with the non-musicals....
The Caine Mutiny
past three-time winner, 23rd of 24 nominations
The music is terrific on its own, but feels out of place when watching - not as dark as it could be.
Larry Adler
first and only nomination
Surprisingly weird, quaint. A perfect fit.
The High and the Mighty
Dimitri Tiomkin
past winner, seventh of 14 nominations for scoring
Would that the rest of the movie could be up to the quality of its main theme.
Suspenseful, raw, effective.
The Silver Chalice
past two-time winner, tenth of twelve nominations
Boy, these epics really do all sound the same!
The High and the Mighty is the earworm, sure, and actually won the Academy Award. But I'm petty enough not to give credit for the one thing that movie did right, especially since a film's score should complement what's happening on screen, not fool you into believing the movie is better than it actually is. As far as narrative impact and appropriate pairing of music and image go, the winner is clear:
Now, on to the nominees for Best Musical Score:
Carmen Jones
Herschel Burke Gilbert
adapting the music of George Bizet
second and final nomination for scoring
The Glenn Miller Story
Joseph Gershenson / Henry Mancini
adapting the music of Glenn Miller
first of two nominations for Gershenson; first of seven scoring nominations for Mancini
Adolph Deutsch / Saul Chaplin
adapting the music of Gene De Paul
past winner, fourth of five nominations for Deutsch; past winner, third of five nominations for Chaplin
Ray Heindorf
adapting the music of Harold Arlen
past two-time winner, 14th of 17 scoring nominations
Alfred Newman / Lionel Newman
adapting the music of Irving Berlin
previous year's winner, past five-time winner before that, 32nd of 43 scoring nominations for Alfred; second of nine scoring nominations for Lionel
DEUTSCH / CHAPLIN
GENE DE PAUL
So - a little bit of agreement, a little bit of disagreement...what are ya gonna do?
Tomorrow, the nominees for Best Supporting Actor: from The Barefoot Contessa, Edmond O'Brien; from The Caine Mutiny, Tom Tully; and from On the Waterfront, Lee J. Cobb, Karl Malden, and Rod Steiger.
Labels: 1954, A Star is Born, Carmen Jones, Genevieve, On the Waterfront, Oscars, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Caine Mutiny, The Glenn Miller Story, The High and the Mighty, The Silver Chalice
Day Eight: Best Supporting Actor, 1954
Day Six: Best Story and Screenplay, 1954
Films of '54: Eight
Day Five: Best Actor, 1954
Day Four: Best Supporting Actress, 1954
Day Three: Original Song, 1954
Day Two: Best Screenplay, 1954

Chapter 2 - Saline waters as resources
Quality characteristics of saline waters
Sources and availability of saline waters
Definitions and Indices of Salinity Related Parameters
Classification of Saline Waters
Chemical and physical characteristics of irrigation waters are discussed in detail by Ayers and Westcot (FAO 1985). Hence, only brief descriptions of terminology, units and key parameters are given in this publication. The parameters of relevance, in this case, are restricted to those which predominantly affect crop production either directly or indirectly. The limiting values of the quality parameters vary considerably depending upon circumstances of use. Sewage and industrial effluents are not considered as the focus of these guidelines is on irrigation with drainage waters and moderately saline natural waters of various kinds. An abbreviated classification of waters in terms of salinity is given to facilitate the identification of the kinds of saline waters included in the scope of these guidelines.
The term salinity used herein refers to the total dissolved concentration of major inorganic ions (i.e. Na,
Ca, Mg, K, HCO3, SO4 and Cl) in irrigation, drainage and groundwaters. Individual concentrations of these cations and anions in a unit volume of the water can be expressed either on a chemical equivalent basis, mmolc/l, or on a mass basis, mg/l. Total salt concentration (i.e. salinity) is then expressed either in terms of the sum of either the cations or anions, in mmolc/l, or the sum of cations plus anions, in mg/l. For reasons of analytical convenience, a practical index of salinity is electrical conductivity (EC), expressed in units of deciSiemen per metre (dS/m). An approximate relation (because it also depends upon specific ionic composition) between EC and total salt concentration is 1 dS/m = 10 mmolc/l = 700 mg/l. Electrical conductivity values are always expressed at a standard temperature of 25 °C to enable comparison of readings taken under varying climatic conditions. With all its obvious shortcomings, this custom of using EC as an index of salinity emphasizes the concept that, as a good first approximation, plants respond primarily to total concentration of salts rather than to the concentrations or proportions of individual salt constituents.
A similar usage of EC for expressing soil salinity has evolved, where the parameter of primary interest is the total salt concentration, or EC, of the soil solution. However, the content of water in the soil is not constant over time nor is the composition of the soil solution. For this reason, soil salinity is not an easily defined, single-valued parameter. In an attempt to standardize measurements and to establish a reasonable reference for comparison purposes, "soil salinity", is commonly expressed in terms of the electrical conductivity of an extract of a saturated paste (ECe; in dS/m) made using a sample of the soil.
In addition to total salt concentration, sodium and pH can adversely affect soil properties for irrigation and cropping. At high levels of sodium relative to divalent cations in the soil solution, clay minerals in soils tend to swell and disperse and aggregates tend to slake, especially under conditions of low total salt concentration and high pH. Whether from slaking, swelling or from clay dispersion, the permeability of the soil is reduced and the surface becomes more crusted and compacted under such conditions. Thus the ability of the soil to transmit water can be severely reduced by excessive sodicity (the term used herein to refer to the combined deleterious effects of high sodium and pH, and low electrolyte concentration on soil physical properties). Since high total salt concentration tends to increase a soil's stability with respect to aggregation and permeability, distinction is made between saline soils and sodic soils. With respect to sodicity, it is the proportion of adsorbed exchangeable sodium relative to the cation exchange capacity (often expressed as the exchangeable sodium percentage, ESP), rather than the absolute amount of exchangeable sodium, that is relevant along with the total salt concentration of the infiltrating and percolating water and the soil pH. Because ESP and the sodium adsorption ratio of the saturation extract , where solute concentrations are in mmolc/l) are so closely related, SAR is commonly used as a substitute for ESP and as an index of the sodium hazard of soils and waters.
Certain ions in saline waters can be specifically toxic to plants, if present in excessive concentrations or proportions. Of particular concern are sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), and boron (B). While not often toxic to plants, a few solutes sometimes (though not frequently) found in natural saline waters may accumulate in plant parts at levels that can be toxic to consumers, if their diet is largely restricted to this food. Such elements include selenium (Se), arsenic (As), and molybdenum (Mo). Standards for such specific toxicants in waters are usually given in terms of their individual concentrations (FAO 1985).
Because the suitability of a saline water for irrigation is so dependent upon the conditions of use, including crop, climate, soil, irrigation method and management practices, water quality classifications are not advised for assessing water suitability for irrigation. However, for the purpose of identifying the levels of water salinities for which these guidelines are intended, it is useful to give a classification scheme.
Such a classification is given in Table 1 in terms of total salt concentration, which is the major quality factor generally limiting the use of saline waters for crop production. As seen in Figure 1, only very tolerant crops (hardly any conventional crops) can be successfully produced with waters that exceed about 10 dS/m in EC. Few generally-used irrigation waters exceed about 2 dS/m in EC. Many drainage waters, including shallow groundwaters underlying irrigated lands, fall in the range of 2-10 dS/m in EC. Such waters are in ample supply in many developed irrigated lands and have good potential for selected crop production, though they are often not used in this regard and are more typically discharged to better quality surface waters or to waste outlets. It is the use of such saline waters that is the major focus of these guidelines. Reuse of second-generation drainage waters for irrigation is also sometimes possible and useful, especially for purposes of reducing drainage volume in preparation for ultimate disposal or treatment. Such waters will generally have ECs in the range 10-25 dS/m. Thus, they too are considered in these guidelines, though to a much lesser degree because the "crops" that can be grown with them are atypical and much less experience exists upon which to base management recommendations and to develop guidelines. Very highly saline waters (25 - 45 dS/m in EC) and brine (> 45 dS/m in EC) are beyond the scope of these guidelines and their uses for crop production are therefore not discussed herein.

Figure 1: Relationships between ECe (saturation extract basis), ECiw and leaching fraction under conventional irrigation management (after Rhoades 1982)
In practical agricultural use, a common source of saline water is groundwater. Salinity of groundwater can be man-induced or natural.
In many areas, saline and fresh subsurface waters exist in close proximity. When fresh groundwater is pumped from aquifers that are in hydraulic connection with seawater, the change in gradients as a result of pumping may result in a flow of salt water from the sea towards the well. This is called seawater intrusion.
Upconing is another mechanism by which groundwater could become brackish. Upconing refers to a situation where a well, located close enough to saline water underlying freshwater, is pumped at a rate sufficient to cause the salt water to be drawn into the well in an upward shaped cone or mound. It has been estimated that in the USA over two-thirds of the continental area are underlain by saline groundwater that could intrude on freshwater supplies as a result of upconing.
There are also natural causes of salinity. Numerous investigators have noted that water within sedimentary strata becomes increasingly saline with an increase in depth. In general, the sequence noted is sulphate-rich water near the surface, saline bicarbonate water at an intermediary level and more concentrated chloride water at greater depths (Craig 1980). There are several mechanisms by which water trapped in sedimentary rocks can be altered into saline water. One of these is the solution of sediments and rocks.
In coastal regions, surface water sources can become saline due to the tidal influence of the sea. As the high tide moves into the coastal area, seawater moves into streams and drainage canals and travels inland. This upstream migration of seawater alters the quality of water in affected streams and drainage canals significantly. This phenomenon is also observed during times of drought.
Another important source of saline water is drainage effluent (including perched groundwater) from irrigated areas. Drainage water, once thought of as wastewater, is now used in many countries for irrigation. The salinity levels vary, but often the salt levels are higher than those of conventional primary irrigation water sources. Reuse of drainage effluent is important when the supply of good quality irrigation water is limited, and it is also an efficient means of reducing water pollution.
The use of saline drainage water in Egypt was reported by Abu-Zeid (1988). About 2.3 thousand million m3 of drainage wastewater are discharged annually to the Mediterranean Sea via return to the Nile River in Upper Egypt; 12 thousand million m3 are discharged directly into the sea and northern lakes; 2 to 3 thousand million m3 are used for irrigating about 405 000 ha of land. About 75 percent of the drainage water discharged into the sea has a salinity of less than 3000 mg/l. The policy of the Government of Egypt is to use drainage water directly for irrigation if its salinity is less than 700 mg/l; to mix it 1: 1 with Nile water (180 to 250 mg/l) if the concentration is 700 to 1500; or 1: 2 or 1: 3 with Nile water if its concentration is 1500 to 3000 mg/l; and to avoid reuse if the salinity of the drainage water exceeds 3000 mg/l. The potential disadvantages of such blending are discussed later.
Drainage water is used for crop production on many farms in California, USA. For example, saline subsurface drainage water is blended with Delta-Mendota Canal water in the Broadview Water District of California to form blended water of a salinity equivalent to 3.2 dS/m and since 1956 is used to grow a variety of crops. Over time, the cropping pattern in this district has changed as the water quality has decreased. Crops now grown are mostly cotton, barley and alfalfa. Representative salinities and potentials for use as irrigation waters and drainage waters from the major irrigated areas of the USA are described by Rhoades (1977).
The use of brackish groundwater is reported from Tunisia, India and Israel. De-Malach et al. (1978) state that in the central Negev of Israel, sugarbeet is grown with saline groundwater of EC = 4.4 dS/m under sprinkler irrigation.
Gupta (1990) has treated the subject of saline water use in India comprehensively. He reported that the salinity level of the Ganges river in India is very low and average total dissolved salt concentration is less than 200 mg/l. However, there are specific stretches or locations along the river system where salinity level increases due to hydrologic as well as human-induced activities. In the deltaic region of the Ganges river in West Bengal, which comes under tidal influences, the salinity of the water can rise to greater than 10 times the average salinity of the river.
In the Punjab, Maharashtra area, canal waters are reported to be of good quality with EC values often less than 0.5 dS/m. On the other hand, drainage waters are reported to have high salinities. Prasad (1967) reported that the drainage waters of the Unnao Tehsil in Uttar Pradesh had an average EC of 2 dS/m. Gupta (1990) carried out a survey of groundwater quality in Rajasthan and estimated percentages of wells that fall into varying classes of salinity. The results are presented in Table 2.

My grandmother was the one who instilled me with conservative values, rest her soul. She always thought Henry Cabot Lodge should have been president.
I used to cut liberals some slack as I viewed them as simply mentally impaired. Today I have zero tolerance for them. I'd just as soon smack one as look at him. I liked George Bush but I ran out of patience with his immigration policies.
I've been married for 50 years and have two grown sons and six grandchildren.
Update: I retired in July of 2012. We have a small trailer and plan to do some travelling. I also ride a Harley Police Road King.
I studied photography in a former life and want to get back into it, and perhaps do some writing.
Update: I had a stroke in Dec. of '12 so my bike riding has been curtailed. Hope that I will be riding again is fading.

CROWNS TO EMERGENCY RESPONDERS AND VOLUNTEERS who sprung into action following the EF-2 tornado that touched down last Saturday in parts of Meridian, Marion and Lauderdale County.
While a great many residents still desperately need physical and financial help as a result of the tornado, we were fortunate to escape with no serious injuries despite widespread damage.
Chainsaws have been buzzing and work crews have been busy since last Saturday addressing the damage, including a rapid response that allowed Magnolia Middle School and Carver Middle School to open on time on Monday and provide some normalcy to students.
The number of affiliated volunteers with trained organizations responding to tornado damage in Lauderdale County was expected to double to nearly 100 over the weekend. Volunteer groups such as the Americorps NCCC, Eight Days of Hope, Mississippi Baptist Disaster Relief, Latter Day Saint Charities, Mennonite Disaster Service and United Methodist Committee on Relief were among the groups who arrived to help.
FROWNS TO THOSE WHO HAVEN'T GRASPED the extent of the damage and need in our community.
Twenty eight homes were destroyed by the storm, 42 homes sustained major damage, 26 sustained minimum damage and 143 other homes were affected in some way by the storm. Thirty-four businesses had minor damage, 10 had major damage and two were destroyed, Laura Carmichael, the city's director of Community Development, said on Friday.
Ron Turner, executive director of the Meridian Housing Authority, reported the storm damaged about 80 public housing buildings, causing an estimated $2 million in damage. Turner said 22 families — about 50 people — were displaced by the tornado.
Much more help is needed for those recovering from the storm. Volunteer agencies said they had 135 work orders in as of Friday morning.
If you can help or you need help, call the city at (601) 485-1944. The city, also, has set up a Volunteer Reception Center at the Velma Young Center. An account has been set up at Trustmark Bank to benefit Meridian Housing Authority residents affected by the tornado, Turner said.
We hope state and federal representatives and agencies note the extent of damage and aid arrives quickly.
EXTRA FROWNS TO THIEVES who burglarized Southern Accents Boutique and Southern Business in Marion when power was knocked after the storm. While emergencies usually bring out the best of us, sadly sometimes the opposite is true.
CROWNS TO ALIXUS HEARN AND TEAMMATES on Northeast Lauderdale High School's softball team who supported her following an accident last October that left her in a wheelchair.
As sports writer Elton Hayes reported this week, the Lady Trojans supported Alixus during her long hospital stay and recovery. Now she is back in school with a positive attitude and an infectious smile.
Whenever we lament our own troubles, there is always someone to show us how to overcome even greater challenges.
A CROWN TO THE MERIDIAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE presidential search committee for making the process open and scheduling candidate forums that are open to the MCC and wider communities.
The first forum is scheduled at 2 p.m. Tuesday in MCC's McCain Fine Arts Theater, with Paul Miller, vice president at East Mississippi Community College, making a presentation and taking questions.
Community input is important in determining the next leader to a great community asset. We encourage you to participate.
A FROWN FOR LACK OF DIVERSITY among the four finalists that emerged from 61 candidates who applied to become MCC's next president.
We are certain the four gentlemen selected are highly qualified candidates and leaders. In a county that has a population, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, of more than 42 percent Black or African American and more than 51 percent women, however, we would expect greater diversity in the pool of finalists to reflect that community.

Picturing Us Film Series: Prejudice and Pride
New Orleans Museum of Art
1 Collins Diboll Circle, New Orleans, LA
In conjunction with the exhibition Changing Course: Reflections on New Orleans Histories, NOMA presents six documentary films exploring the people and places that make New Orleans home. The films will be screened as part of Friday Nights at NOMA programming. Friday, July 6, 7 pm: Tchoupitoulas Friday, July 20, 7 pm: The Sons of Tennessee Williams Friday, July 27, 7 pm: Mr. Cao Goes to Washington Friday, August 3, 6 pm: Prejudice and Pride Friday, August 10, 7 pm: Piano Players Rarely Ever Play Together Friday, August 17, 7 pm: By Invitation Only ABOUT PREJUDICE AND PRIDE Until 2016's Pulse nightclub massacre, the deadliest attack on LGBT citizens was a fire intentionally set upon a gay bar in New Orleans in 1973, killing thirty-two people. But many people outside of New Orleans have never heard of the UpStairs Lounge fire—or are familiar with the effect it had on the gay community and subsequent gay rights movement. The intense homophobia of the time coupled with allegations of city officials embarrassingly sweepingly the tragedy under the rug have left it largely unknown in the LGBT historical narrative. Upon the forty-fifth anniversary of the UpStairs Lounge tragedy, Prejudice and Pride recounts the fire and the aftermath that swept through New Orleans via new interviews with survivors, first responders, activists, journalists and family members of the dead. The ABC News investigative team uncovers yet another tragedy—a victim and World War II veteran stripped of all dignity, discarded in an unmarked grave on the fringe of the city. On the trail to uncover his whereabouts, Prejudice and Pride journeys from the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter to its desolate outskirts. Can his family find him and the closure they seek? And will the UpStairs Lounge fire finally take its rightful place in gay rights' history? (Not rated | 2018 | 28 minutes) Watch the trailer at this link.

More than half of couples that are getting married choose to send a save the date before the official wedding invitation according to an Easy Weddings poll. Although save the date cards are the most frequently sent, save the date magnets are also very popular.
Of more than 900 couples that took part in the poll 57% said they were planning to send some kind of save the date message. A save the date is great for letting guests know that you're getting married and that they need to put the date in their diaries to avoid clashes with holidays or other events.
Save the dates are particularly useful for couples that are getting married during the holiday season or during the peak wedding season, when guests are likely to get booked up. They are also essential for destination weddings where guests may need to make travel plans or take time off work.
Of the couples who did plan to send out a save the date, 48% said they were sending save the date cards, making this the most popular choice. However, save the date magnets weren't far behind, with 42% saying they were taking this option. Save the date magnets are a fun alternative to cards and are perfect for attaching to the fridge door, or other metallic surfaces, to remind your guests of your wedding date. Only 10% of those that were sending a save the date planned to do it via e-mail.
43% of the couples that took part in the poll either weren't planning to send out a save the date, or didn't know what one was. These couples may have decided to spread the word about their wedding date in person, or might have been planning to send out the actual wedding invitations early enough to avoid clashing with other events. They may also have been getting married out of season when guests were less likely to be busy.

Terry Zwigoff's first fiction film, adapted from a cult-classic comic by Daniel Clowes, is an idiosyncratic portrait of adolescent alienation that is at once bleakly funny and wholly endearing. Set during the malaise-filled months following high-school graduation, Ghost World follows the proud misfit Enid (Thora Birch), who confronts an uncertain future amid the cultural wasteland of consumerist America. As her cynicism becomes too much to bear even for her best friend, Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), Enid finds herself drawn to an unlikely kindred spirit: a sad-sack record collector many years her senior (Steve Buscemi). With its parade of oddball characters, quotable, Oscar-nominated script, and eclectic soundtrack of vintage obscurities, Ghost World is one of the twenty-first century's most fiercely beloved comedies.

BREAKING NEWS: CJEU says Tobacco Products Directive is valid
Alberto Bellan Wednesday, May 04, 2016 - CJEU, decision, paternalism, tobacco plain packaging, tobacco products directive, trade marks
The IPKat has been obsessively following the debate upon tobacco plain packaging and, as to the European Union, the tumultuous course of Directive 2014/40/EU (Tobacco Products Directive) on"the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products". This directive was aimed at harmonising a number of aspects of tobacco manufacture and sale in the EU [see katposts here, here, here, here, and here]. From the IP angle, Chapter II of the Directive provides that packaging of tobacco products sold in the EU shall comply with a number of characteristics imagined to scare smokers and discourage people from even contemplating to start smoking.
Among other things, Article 13 of the Directive provides that
"The labelling of unit packets and any outside packaging and the tobacco product itself shall not include any element or feature that … promotes a tobacco product or encourages its consumption by creating an erroneous impression about its characteristics"
"The elements and features that ... are prohibited may include but are not limited to texts, symbols, names, trademarks, figurative or other signs".
Further, Article 24(2) of the Directive provides that
"This Directive shall not affect the right of a Member State to maintain or introduce further requirements, applicable to all products placed on its market, in relation to the standardisation of the packaging of tobacco products, where it is justified on grounds of public health, taking into account the high level of protection of human health achieved through this Directive".
Does paternalism make you nervous?
Over the past months, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has had to open three different files in this regard, with one glorious EU country (Poland), and a couple of UK judges seeking clarification as to the lawfulness of the Directive under different standpoints [Cases C-358/14, Poland v Parliament and Council; C-477/14, Pillbox 38(UK) Limited v Secretary of State for Health; and C-547/14, Philip Morris Brands SARL and Others v Secretary of State for Health]. The Polish case and that involving Pillbox38 challenged, respectively, the prohibition on menthol cigarettes and the new rules on electronic cigarettes.
Case C-547/14 specifically concerned plain packaging. Among other things, the referring court asked the CJEU whether
- Articles 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 of the Directive, concerning tobacco labeling and packaging, comply with the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity;
- Article 13 of the Directive complies with the principle of proportionality and/or with Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights. If so, the referral asked if Article 13, by prohibiting "any element or feature that … promotes a tobacco product or encourages its consumption by creating an erroneous impression about its characteristics", also prohibits true and non-misleading statements about tobacco products on the product packaging;
- The extent to which Article 24(2) permits Member States to adopt more stringent rules in relation to matters relating to the 'standardisation' of the packaging of tobacco products.
With its decisions of today [Cases C-358/14, C-477/14, and C-547/14, still not available on the Curia website], the Court ruled that the Tobacco Products Directive is fully valid.
According to the press release, the CJEU ruled that Article 13, as well as the other provisions regarding "the integrity of health warnings after the packet has been opened, to the position and minimum dimensions of the health warnings and to the shape of unit packets of cigarettes, the minimum number of cigarettes per unit packet" and "health warnings covering 65% of the external front and back surface of each unit packet" are proportionate and well-compliant with the principle of subsidiarity, due to the overriding interest of public-health protection that the Directive intends to pursue.
...you'd better quit smoking, anyway.
As to the "true and non-misleading statements about tobacco products on the product packaging", the CJEU ruled that Article 13 shall be interpreted as meaning that it prohibits
"any element or feature that is such as to promote a tobacco product or encourage its consumption, even if these are factually accurate",
once again as
"that prohibition is such as to protect consumers against the risks associated with tobacco use and does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve the objective pursued".
As to Article 24(2), the CJEU stressed that the in-search-search-of-inflexibilities principle applies to the tobacco field too, ruling that
"at the outset, that the Member States may maintain or introduce further requirements solely in relation to aspects of the packaging of tobacco products that are not harmonised by the directive".
More patronising in depth analysis will follow once the decision is made available.
[UPDATE -- there are three CJEU decisions, actually: Case 547/2014, on plain packaging; C-358/2014, on menthol-cigarettes; C-477/2014, on electronic cigarettes].

Pest description and damage Several species of aphids can become problems as foliar, stem, flower, bud bark or root feeding pests on broad-leaved trees. Aphids tend to be small (.0625 to 0.125 inch long), oval to pear-shaped, soft-bodied insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts. Color varies (black, green, pink, yellow, mottled, striped, etc.), but most aphids tend to match host plant coloration. Aphids tend to feed in colonies and are often found on the most succulent plant tissues. Feeding damage to shrubs, trees and mature plants is usually minor, but can compromise the vigor of the host, and some leaf and shoot distortion can occur if aphid populations are high. Aphids produce honeydew that can become objectionable. Some aphids are vectors of plant diseases, particularly viruses.


Ceasing smoking can prevent chronic bronchitis (where someone has a recurrent cough producing mucous on most days of the month, for months ' sometimes years). Smoking is the most common cause of chronic bronchitis (80% of chronic bronchitis is caused by smoking). People who smoke also have a alcorn state university from acute bronchitis and other infections involving the lungs. However if you stop smoking early enough, the damage caused can sometimes be reversed.
Making sure children cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, and washing their hands afterwards can also help prevent the spread of bronchitis. Hand sanitisers can be found in many supermarkets nowadays, and they come in a little bottle you can carry in your bag ' using this regularly can help disinfect hands when shopping, for example, by killing germs that can be picked up from a shopping trolley. We were actually wondering how to get about to what can affect our lungs? Bronchitis. However once we started writing, the words just seemed to flow continuously!
You are more likely to get bronchitis if you work around unhealthy environments (such as those filled with chemicals and smoke) as your bronchial tubes may already be damaged. If you get bronchitis from working in an atmosphere that has pollutants or irritants, sometimes removing yourself from the environment can cure any bronchitis you may have developed. It is with much interest that we got about to write on Bronchitis Symptoms. So we do hope that you too read this article with the same, if not more interest!
Getting an annual flu and pneumococcal vaccine can also help prevent contracting bronchitis (as you don't get the flu, which can lead to bronchitis). Do not judge a book by its cover; so don't just scan through this matter on Acute Bronchitis Chronic Bronchitis. read it thoroughly to judge its value and importance.
If you have cefixime bronchitis mediion do not smoke, try to limit your exposure to second-hand smoke and other pollutants or irritants. If you suffer from reflux, see a doctor who can prescribe medication to help stop it, as the constant acids bubbling up into your airways can cause bronchitis. A rolling stone gathers no moss. So if I just go on writing, and you don't understand, then it is of no use of me writing about Bronchitis! Whatever written should be understandable by the reader.

When studying for an MSc in Landscape Architecture, you specialise in landscape planning, green space management or urban design. Within these fields you learn to undertake programming, planning, design and management at local and regional scales, developing competences in architectural method, natural and social sciences.
As a landscape architect you are trained as a highly skilled project manager who are able to handle complex and unpredictable work situations that often require new solution models. Thus you will achieve a high level of professionalism which will benefit your future career as a landscape architect.
The MSc programme in Landscape Architecture combines creative disciplines and scientific knowledge with an understanding of society.
As a landscape architect and urban planner, you work with designing anything from local beach parks, harbour transformations and green urban areas to overall landscape planning.
You know the conditions governing the development and structure of the cities and regions and are able to plan, design and manage parks and green areas.
You work analytically and creatively to create unique architecture and perfect solutions for urban and rural areas, resulting in stimulating, well-functioning and sustainable surroundings for people in the future.
As a landscape architect and urban planner, you have many exciting career opportunities. You can, for example, work with developing specific plans for new urban spaces and areas, harbour transformations etc. at a private architectural firm.
Or you can work in the public sector as, for example, nature manager, parks officer or city planner in charge of developing parks and green areas.
Many landscape architects and urban planners also start their own business, where they handle development, design and management tasks for private individuals, companies and public authorities.
Finally, quite a few landscape architects and urban planners work within communication, research or teaching.
The MSc programme consists of a number of elective courses, a compulsory thematic course and a thesis.
You shape your course of study yourself through elective courses on the basis of your academic and personal interests. The electives offer you the opportunity to strengthen your competences within area management, urban ecology and planning of recreational plantings. You can also combine your architectural knowledge with courses such as conflict management, ecology or economics in order for you to acquire specialised competences.
You can use the elective courses to immerse yourself in subjects in which you are particularly interested. This may concern sustainable urban areas and urban ecology, shaping of gardens and parks or policy and landscape management.
The entire MSc programme is taught in English, and there are good opportunities for studying outside the University of Copenhagen in both Denmark and abroad. The Faculty of Science, where the Landscape Architecture programme is based, has also entered into a collaboration agreement with the schools of architecture in Copenhagen and Aarhus on which you can draw.
The MSc programme is concluded with the writing of a thesis corresponding to six or nine months of studies.
The thesis may consist of a plan proposal for a specific area or may be a study of an academic problem area which you treat in a scientific context.
In connection with a thesis of 30 ECTS, an additional minimum of 60 ECTS must be obtained through the thematic course and the group of core courses, and, in connection with a thesis of 45 ECTS, an additional minimum of 45 ECTS must be obtained through the thematic course and the group of core courses.

IN CONVERSATION WITH AURÉLIEN BOMY
Photography by Aurélien Bomy
Interview by Karin Svadlenak Gomez
The French amateur photographer Aurélien Bomy developed a taste for the arts at an early age. A clinical psychologist by profession, Aurélien continues an artistic practice, discovering and learning from other artists. Besides photography he also enjoys the creation of animated collages.
Aurélien understands that street photography is a very different genre from other types of photography, because it captures moments that cannot be repeated and creates something that is completely new every time. Normally Aurélien likes to capture "cinematic moments" of people in their environment. For this story, however, he went down a documentary path. He captured the joy of the crowd at the event Goûtez Electronique that took place in September 2021 in Nantes, the first event of such magnitude that he attended after the pandemic-induced restrictions in France. The Goûtez Electronique offers a palette of Nantes, French, European and international DJ artists. It's a free electronic music concert with several DJ's. It lasts 8 hours on Sunday afternoons in a park near the Loire River.
"You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down."
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon
TPL: Tell us a bit about this event. And was this the first mass event you attended after the Covid restrictions?
AB: LA FOULE* is a series I took at an open air electronic music concert in Nantes in September 2021 on a sunny Sunday afternoon in a park near the Loire River. The event is entirely organized by volunteers of an association on their free time and funded solely by bar revenue. It started in 2006, there were usually two dates each year in the summertime until Covid. So it had been since 2019 that the event had not taken place and people where very happy! During that period the health restrictions due to Covid were less drastic and we could meet without masks as long as we were vaccinated. So people were happy to be able to meet again in such events. They were dancing and smiling. There was a peaceful and joyful ambiance. This environment was for me the perfect context to try to approach a crowd from a subjective point of view from a quite close distance, focusing on individualities and to work on portraits.
For me, the challenge of this series was to bear witness to the atmosphere that prevailed at that time and place. Particularly after a long period during which meetings were restricted and these kinds of moments were very rare. But how do you convey this kind of atmosphere in photography? For this I decided to treat the crowd not as a unity, a totality, but as an incomplete collection of individualities and personalities. I chose the subjective point of view. For the challenge was to capture something of the life that occurs in one-on-one relationships in encounters in the crowd. My principle was not to turn to the stage, but to the public. To do this, I had to adopt a different posture from that which generally consists of a photographer standing back and excluding himself from the situation. So I joined the party. This is how I collected these beautiful attitudes and these many eye contacts. I was one of the others. The only difference was that I had a camera and used it to take photographs of others (just doing photography for myself, not for the event).
I had been to few cultural events before since the restrictions were lifted. We have had different periods of restrictions in France: Lockdown, confinements, curfews... since the beginning of Covid crisis, but I didn't go to events of that magnitude at that time!
TPL: How did it feel to you personally to be there?
AB: It was a wonderful moment full of joy with very pleasant music, sunshine, and people were very happy to experience again a moment like this! I thought it was something not to be missed! You know! We had missed enough!
And when I saw this atmosphere, this mood, I immediately thought that there was a testimony to do something like that! But how do you tell the story of this in photography? It's not easy! Two ways and you have to choose : The collective way or the subjective singular way!
TPL: What gave you the idea that you could focus on individuals in the crowd, rather than, for example, concentrating on the musicians, as most people might?
AB: I chose the way that I could tell the story of each one who had to make the sacrifice of him/herself for the collective during the sanitary restrictions. That's why I titled the series "La foule" (the crowd)! Cause there is a conflict between each human being and the collective! And it was a moment when we could live for ourselves in the presence of the others in a crowd! The song "La foule" by Edith Piaf tells the story of a woman who's "carried away by the crowd"... This moment was for me a unique occasion to treat that question of the border between the individual and the collective, which is an essential theme (even in my practice as a psychologist) ! We are each unique and each of us has his/her own difference. We all dream of being one with the other, but we can´t! The crowd is the place where the dream is in conflict with that impossibility.
TPL: You told us that you chose to process your pictures in black and white to focus on the essential. Please expand on that a bit - what do you mean by that? What would have been the disturbing element of colour?
AB: I took the series in a four hour time frame, and the light changed a lot! Some of the pictures were taken with a strong daylight and others with a soft end of the day light! And there were a lot of different colours of clothing and green trees in the background! That didn't fit at all with the aesthetic that I search for! All those photos and people on them were so different! And that is what I found. That's what I wanted. But there is a need in a series to present the images in a kind of coherent way...not as a unity...not totality...but as a collection!
So only the monochrome, black and white, could put all those different photos together. And maybe it fit more with my purpose of showing that duality of conflict between individual and crowd.
TPL: What happened later in the year - did France go back into lockdowns as Covid-19 flared up again. what was the mood among the people like then? And your own feelings about it?
AB: In November/December the Covid impact grew and restrictions were back on mass cultural events. Not strict lockdowns, but a closure of cultural places. We did not expect it! It was hard! And at the same time it imposed itself as a necessity to which we were not accustomed, but which we had already learned to deal with.
TPL: How have you personally been coping with Covid restrictions?
AB: I have always respected them, as I knew they were necessary for the survival of the greatest number from the point of view that considers the collective.
These restrictions are an opportunity to give, through the defect they engender in the social bond, the crucial importance of one-to-one relationships and intentions directed towards a particular person, insofar as s/he is not anonymous, but has a particularity, his/her own difference from any other! To be interested in someone for what s/he has that is singular and who does what s/he is, that is what seems to me to be the important thing in social relations.
*La foule is an song performed by Édith Piaf in 1957. The lyrics are by Michel Rivgauche and the music by Ángel Cabral.

Originally Published: May 2, 2015 12:49 p.m.
COTTONWOOD -- Verde Valley Homeless Coalition members have set a date for the first large scale full-day homeless outreach event.
Meeting Tuesday, the Coalition scheduled the inaugural Verde Valley Project Connect for Tuesday, September 15, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Old Town Mission, located at 116 E Pinal in Cottonwood.
During its spring meeting, coalition members agreed to pursue a concept for a full-day event to provide Verde Valley homeless with services and supplies in the same fashion that the Veterans Administration does with its Operation Stand Down in September.
The coalition established three committees to reach out to agencies that would be represented one of the general titles of "Health," "Legal" or "Housing."
A fourth group would be dedicated to advertising and fundraising for the event.
Two people agreed at the organizing meeting to become chairs of the Health and Housing Committees, but more people are needed to head up the Legal and Media committees as well as general members to join those committees.
Eliza Louden, who leads the Verde Valley coalition, says it is a great opportunity for social, religious and education groups to step up and participate in a great project.
Those who would like to serve on or chair a committee should contact Eliza at Catholic Charities before May 15. Call (634) 4254 x 54111 for more information. Louden says there is adequate planning time to make it a success, but more participants are needed.
"This is a great opportunity for social, religious, and educational groups to step up and participate in a great project," says Eliza.

Chile's CINCEL re...
Chile's CINCEL renews agreement with Springer
Springer has entered into a five-year renewal agreement with the Consorcio para el Acceso a la Información Científica Electrónica (CINCEL) in Chile. Unlike prior negotiated arrangements, says the publisher, this new deal extends access to Springer's published research to more than twice as many institutions.
The national consortium of CINCEL negotiates subscriptions to scientific journals, e-books and databases on behalf of its original 26 members, made up mostly of universities, along with other research centers in Chile. Under the new national agreement, researchers, students and faculty at all the prior participating members, as well as over 45 additional institutions, will now have access to Springer's Americas Collection of journals. The more than 1,500 titles included in the licence are now available to every major research institution in Chile.
'Springer has always been a valuable partner to CINCEL because of the high quality of its content, and because they are flexible enough to meet the needs of our members at a price that is manageable for the consortium,' said María Soledad Bravo-Marchant, secretaria ejecutiva for CINCEL. 'We are very happy with this new agreement and look forward to continuing a relationship that has been so beneficial to our researchers and universities.'

Oakgate named number 1 in Top 100 SMES
Yorkshires most dynamic small and medium-sized businesses boosted both profits and sales last year, but cut back on staff numbers, new research reveals today.
Analysis of the regions top 100 SMEs ranked by profitability shows a 16 per cent surge in pre-tax profits and a nine per cent rise in turnover.
But growth did not equate to a rise in employment according to BHP, the Yorkshire accountancy firm that carried out the research.
Mike Jackson, partner at the Leeds office, said the headline findings show the strength of Yorkshires leading SMEs.
"However, success can of course be measured in a number of ways, and sadly the combined number of employees has shown a decrease of 1.3%.
"Perhaps this shows an increase in efficiency as less people are generating more business, but lets hope this in turn will create more jobs in the coming year."
BHP, the region's largest independent chartered accountants, analysed latest published financial information filed at companies house to produce the annual report of Yorkshire-based companies with a turnover up to £25.9m and less than 250 employees.
Top of the tree this year was Oakgate Group, the Wetherby based property developer, which delivered a £10.2m profit.
The company is owned by partners Paul Caddick, Richard France and John Grantham who together have more than 120 years of experience in the property industry.
Mr France said the strong year was due to the sale of the Boar Lane development in Leeds to group of London investors and completion of Vangarde Shopping Park at Monks Cross in York, which had "three cherries on the fruit machine" of John Lewis, Next and Marks & Spencer as tenants.
Oakgate worked on developments throughout the economic downturn and managed to weather the storm, unlike some of its peers. "It was hard. We had to tighten out belts," said Mr France, who is known as Froggy.
Asked about the secret to successful property development, he said: "Finding the right deal in the first place, working hard and then having a smattering of luck."

About Takács Quartet
The Takács Quartet, now entering its forty-sixth season, is renowned for the vitality of its interpretations. Based in Boulder at the University of Colorado, Edward Dusinberre, Harumi Rhodes (violins), Richard O'Neill (viola), and András Fejér (cello) perform eighty concerts a year worldwide.
In June 2020, the Takács Quartet was featured in the BBC television series Being Beethoven. The ensemble also released a CD for Hyperion of piano quintets by Amy Beach and Elgar, a fitting way to celebrate Geri Walther's fifteen years as the Takács' violist before her retirement from the group. The members of the quartet welcomed Richard O'Neill as their new violist in June and look forward to many exciting projects during their first season together. The group plans to make two recordings for Hyperion, one featuring the last quartets of Haydn, the other pairing two masterpieces from the first decade of the twentieth century: Bartók's Quartet No. 1 and Alban Berg's Opus 3. The group continues their role as associate artists at London's Wigmore Hall.
In 2014, the Takács became the first string quartet to be awarded the Wigmore Hall Medal. The Medal, inaugurated in 2007, recognizes major international artists who have a strong association with the Hall. Recipients so far include András Schiff, Thomas Quasthoff, Menahem Pressler, and Dame Felicity Lott. In 2012, Gramophone announced that the Takács was the only string quartet to be inducted into its first Hall of Fame, along with such legendary artists as Jascha Heifetz, Leonard Bernstein, and Dame Janet Baker. The ensemble also won the 2011 Award for Chamber Music and Song presented by the Royal Philharmonic Society in London.
The Takács Quartet performed Philip Roth's Everyman program with Meryl Streep at Princeton in 2014, and again with her at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto in 2015. The program was conceived in close collaboration with Philip Roth. The Quartet is known for such innovative programming. They first performed Everyman at Carnegie Hall in 2007 with Philip Seymour Hoffman. They have toured 14 cities (including Boston) with the poet Robert Pinsky, collaborate regularly with the Hungarian Folk group Muzsikas, and in 2010 they collaborated with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival and David Lawrence Morse on a drama project that explored the composition of Beethoven's last quartets. Aspects of the quartet's interests and history are explored in Edward Dusinberre's book, Beethoven for a Later Age: The Journey of a String Quartet, which takes the reader inside the life of a string quartet, melding music history and memoir as it explores the circumstances surrounding the composition of Beethoven's quartets.
The Takács records for Hyperion Records, and their releases for that label include string quartets by Haydn, Schubert, Janáček, Smetana, Debussy, and Britten, as well as piano quintets by César Franck and Shostakovich (with Marc-André Hamelin), and viola quintets by Brahms (with Lawrence Power). For their CDs on the Decca/London label, the Quartet has won three Gramophone Awards, a Grammy Award, three Japanese Record Academy Awards, Disc of the Year at the inaugural BBC Music Magazine Awards, and Ensemble Album of the Year at the Classical Brits. Full details of all recordings can be found in the recordings section of the Quartet's website.
The members of the Takács Quartet are Christoffersen Faculty Fellows at the University of Colorado - Boulder. The Quartet has helped to develop a string program with a special emphasis on chamber music, where students work in a nurturing environment designed to help them develop their artistry. Through the university, two of the quartet's members benefit from the generous loan of instruments from the Drake Instrument Foundation. The members of the Takács are on the faculty at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, where they run an intensive summer string quartet seminar, and are visiting fellows at the Guildhall School of Music.
The Takács Quartet was formed in 1975 at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest by Gabor Takács-Nagy, Károly Schranz, Gabor Ormai, and András Fejér, while all four were students. It first received international attention in 1977, winning First Prize and the Critics' Prize at the International String Quartet Competition in Evian, France. The Quartet also won the Gold Medal at the 1978 Portsmouth and Bordeaux Competitions and First Prizes at the Budapest International String Quartet Competition in 1978 and the Bratislava Competition in 1981. The Quartet made its North American debut tour in 1982. In 2001, the members of the the Takács Quartet were awarded the Order of Merit of the Knight's Cross of the Republic of Hungary, and in March 2011 the Order of Merit Commander's Cross by the President of the Republic of Hungary.
