È stata la prima donna eletta alla Académie française; nelle sue opere sono frequenti i temi dell'esistenzialismo, in particolare quello della morte.

Per il suo capolavoro Memorie di Adriano venne candidata al Premio Nobel per la letteratura.

Biografia

Infanzia e formazione
Nacque da una famiglia franco-belga. Il padre, Michel Cleenewerck de Crayencour, di famiglia borghese (era figlio di una ricca proprietaria terriera, Noemi Dufresne), rappresentava la parte francese della famiglia; la madre, belga di stirpe questa volta proprio nobile, Ferdinande de Cartier de Marchienne, morì dieci giorni dopo la nascita di Marguerite, a causa di setticemia e peritonite insorte in seguito al parto. Marguerite studiò con tutori privati e crebbe nell'immensa villa della nonna Noemi a Mont Noir, nel comune di Saint-Jans-Cappel, nel Nord della Francia.

La bambina si dimostra subito una lettrice precoce, interessandosi a soli otto anni alle opere di Jean Racine e Aristofane: addirittura a dieci anni impara il latino e a dodici il greco pur di poter leggere i testi originali di Aristofane ed altri oratori antichi greci e romani. Poi, all'età di diciassette anni, da poco trasferitasi a Nizza, Marguerite pubblica sotto lo pseudonimo di "Marguerite Yourcenar" il suo primo libro di poesie: sceglie questo pseudonimo con l'aiuto del padre, anagrammando il cognome (Crayencour, appunto). Nel 1924, in occasione di un viaggio in Italia, visita per la prima volta Villa Adriana e inizia la stesura dei primi Carnets de notes de Mémoires d'Hadrien (Taccuini di note delle poi divenute celeberrime Memorie di Adriano).

Nel 1937 a Parigi Marguerite fa un incontro fondamentale per la sua carriera e per la sua vita: quello con Grace Frick, allora insegnante di letteratura inglese, che sarà la sua compagna per il resto della vita.

Nel 1939, allo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale, si trasferisce negli Stati Uniti d'America (prenderà la cittadinanza americana nel 1947), pur continuando sempre a scrivere in francese. Negli Stati Uniti insegna letteratura francese e storia dell'arte dal 1942 al 1950 e dal 1952 al 1953. Inizia così un decennio di privazioni, che ella stessa definirà più tardi come il più difficile della sua vita. Questo periodo della sua vita si conclude con la pubblicazione delle Mémoires d'Hadrien (Memorie di Adriano), sicuramente il suo libro di maggior successo. A partire da questo momento, Yourcenar comincia una serie di viaggi in giro per il mondo, che conosceranno una pausa solo per l'aggravarsi delle condizioni di salute della sua compagna, che la porteranno alla morte nel 1979. Dopo la morte di Grace Frick la scrittrice conosce Jerry Wilson, che diventerà presto una delle sue più intense passioni. Ma neanche lui le sopravvive.

Carriera
Come accennato, esordì come autrice in poesia, con la raccolta Le jardin des chimères (Il giardino delle chimere), pubblicata a proprie spese nel 1921. La prima opera pubblicata da una casa editrice è un romanzo del 1929: Alexis o il trattato della lotta vana, dove si affaccia per la prima volta il tema dell'omosessualità vissuta come un intenso dramma. Da lì comincia per la scrittrice una carriera che le procurerà la notorietà internazionale.

Nel periodo che va dal 1932 al 1938 pubblica il romanzo Moneta del sogno, ambientato nell'Italia fascista, Fuochi, una raccolta di prose liriche ispirata dal suo amore non corrisposto per André Fraigneau, e Novelle orientali, una serie di racconti ispirati a miti e leggende dell'Estremo Oriente, della Grecia e dei Balcani.

Attratta dal romanzo di ambientazione storica, scrive le Memorie di Adriano, il suo capolavoro, in cui alla crisi personale di un imperatore illuminato, giunto alla fine della sua vita, si sovrappone il crepuscolo dell'impero romano, avviato verso una fine annunciata.

L'opera al nero è un altro romanzo di genere storico ambientato nel tardo Rinascimento con protagonista il medico-filosofo Zénon. Anche qui la storia è una cornice disegnata intorno alle tormentate vicende dei protagonisti, con sottili risvolti psicologici apparentemente fuori tempo - per troppa modernità - rispetto all'epoca in cui i personaggi vengono fatti agire; è ciò che verrà definito la modernità del passato. Infatti modernissimo è il discorso in cui Zénon enuncia sinteticamente la sua filosofia dicendo:

Come l'acqua che scorre, pubblicato nel 1982, raccoglie tre racconti storici di ambiente secentesco, ambientati fra l'Italia e le Fiandre. Il primo, Anna, soror..., fu scritto nel 1925 dopo un soggiorno della donna a Napoli, dove si svolge il racconto intimo e delicato della passione incestuosa di Anna per il fratello Miguel. Il secondo, Un uomo oscuro, ci fa seguire le peregrinazioni di Nathanael (un altro dei grandi personaggi yourcenariani), il suo amore per la prostituta Sarai, il servizio presso una nobile famiglia e la silenziosa fine nella solitudine di un'isola. L'ultimo racconto, Una bella mattina, si ricollega alla vicenda di Un uomo oscuro narrando la storia di Lazaro, figlio di Saraí e Nathanael, e della sua vocazione di attore.

Nella trilogia Il labirinto del mondo, Yourcenar passa dalla storia del mondo a quella più ristretta nel microcosmo della sua famiglia attraverso le generazioni.

Scrive anche numerosi saggi e racconti di viaggio, confluiti nelle raccolte Con beneficio d'inventario, Il tempo, grande scultore, Pellegrina e straniera e Il giro della prigione.

Nel 1980 diviene è la prima donna a entrare a far parte della Académie française.

Morte
Marguerite Yourcenar muore presso l'ospedale di Bar Harbor, sull'isola di Mount Desert (Maine), il 17 dicembre 1987.

Vita privata
Marguerite Yourcenar è sempre stata dichiaratamente lesbica, ed ebbe una relazione che lei definiva "coniugale" con Grace Frick.

There is also a time set aside during the worship service for a children's story, which the adults enjoy as much as the children. There is a children's nursery for the little ones and an extended session for those in kindergarten through 4th grade.
If you would like to know more, we encourage you to join us for a Sunday service. We are a loving, open church in which all are welcome.

Bangladesh's Libya evacuees keen to get back to work
in Construction & Engineering, Employment
Some 37,000 Bangladeshi migrant workers were evacuated from Libya, mostly by the International Organisation for Migration or their employers, when foreign companies shut up shop as fighting erupted earlier this year.
Before war broke out, tens of thousands of Bangladeshi contract workers were based in Libya, working mostly for large Korean companies on oil or infrastructure projects.
Globally, up to nine million Bangladeshis work overseas, sending back annual remittances totalling some $12 billion, which makes up 10 percent of annual Gross Domestic Product.
After the death of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi in October, Bangladesh -- which has been hit hard by a fall in remittances due to unrest in the Arab world -- said it would send construction workers back to Libya.
The Dhaka government immediately opened discussions with the transitional authorities on a deal, and it says that many firms that employed Bangladeshi workers before the unrest have already got back in contact.
"A group of 38 Bangladeshi migrants who worked for an Italian firm before the war broke out has already left for Libya to join the company," overseas employment secretary Jafar Ahmed Khan told AFP.
"We've had talks with Libya and the companies where our labourers were before the war. They want to take Bangladeshi workers back. Libya will be a big job market for us as our workers have a good reputation."
Most Bangladeshi migrants find work through the country's 800 government licensed recruiting agencies. The agencies, which are not tightly regulated, are often accused of charging excessive fees.
The agents do not reimburse the fees paid to secure long-term contracts when things go wrong -- even when migrants like Matbar are forced to leave after a matter of months.
The government provided workers returning from Libya with a hand-out of 50,000 taka ($650) but it argues it has no power to force the recruiting agencies to forgive the debts.
The government's policy is to pressure recruitment agencies to give priority to Libya returnees for new contracts -- and they have also warned agents not to over-charge, said Ministry of Manpower secretary Zafar Ahmed Khan.
"It is a condition all recruiters must show they have met before we will give them approval on other issues," Khan said.

Die Kalahari (auch Kgalagadi) ist eine Dornstrauchsavanne, teilweise auch Trockensavanne, wird aber gelegentlich wegen des vorherrschenden Sandes als Wüste bezeichnet. Sie erstreckt sich beidseitig des südlichen Wendekreises von der südafrikanischen Provinz Nordkap durch Namibia und Botswana über eine Fläche von über einer Million Quadratkilometern. Sie ist Teil des etwa doppelt so großen Kalahari-Beckens, das sich bis nach Angola und Sambia hinein erstreckt.

Herkunft des Namens
Die Herkunft des Namens ist noch unklar. Eine Deutung besagt, dass Kalahari eine Falschschreibung der Kolonialherren für das Setswana-Wort Kgalagadi (von kgala für "Abstand" und gadi für "groß, weit") sei.

Gelegentlich wird "Kalahari" für eine Verfälschung des Khoikhoi-Wortes karri (hart) gehalten, das William John Burchell als Karriharri und Robert Jacob Gordon als Macarigari schrieben. Robert Moffat und Forbes glaubten dagegen, dass sie nach einem Stamm namens Kgalagad, Kgalagadi oder Makgalagadi benannt ist. Moffat behauptete auch, der Stamm lebe in der Khalagari oder Kalagare, was "trocken" oder "wasserloser Platz" bedeutet.

Geographie

Der größte Teil der Kalahari liegt in Botswana und Namibia. Südwestlich liegt die Namib-Wüste, die deutlich arider als die Kalahari ist. Die Kalahari liegt überwiegend auf 800 bis 1200 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel. Einziger ganzjährig wasserführender Fluss ist der Okavango. Er entspringt in Angola und fächert sich in der Kalahari in das Okavangodelta auf, um dort oder im weiteren Verlauf zu versickern. In der Kalahari liegen große Salzpfannen, darunter im Osten die Makgadikgadi-Salzpfannen.

Große Teile der Kalahari sind als Naturschutzgebiete ausgewiesen, etwa der Kgalagadi-Transfrontier-Nationalpark im Grenzgebiet von Südafrika und Namibia, das Central Kalahari Game Reserve und im Nordwesten Botswanas das Okavango-Flussdelta. Seit Ende der 1990er Jahre wird die Kalahari durch den Trans-Kalahari-Highway erschlossen. Diese gut ausgebaute Straße ist ein wichtiges Teilstück des vom Indischen Ozean in Mosambik bis zum Atlantik in Namibia führenden Transportwegs.

Geologie
Der ausgedehnteste Teil der Kalahari – die "Zentral-Kalahari" – befindet sich in Botswana und reicht hier mit seinen westlichen Ausläufern nach Namibia hinein. Die Kalahari liegt im zentralen Bereich des Kalahari-Beckens (englisch: Kalahari Basin), einem Sedimentbecken, das sich zwischen dem Oranje bis nach Angola, im Westen von Namibia in Richtung Osten bis nach Simbabwe erstreckt. Im Norden reicht das Becken bis zur Demokratischen Republik Kongo.

In der Kalahari herrschen Sandböden (Arenosole) vor, die im Süden und Westen rot sind, im Norden und Osten gelb bis grau. Die Mächtigkeit der Sandböden beträgt bis zu 200 Meter. Die Sandvorkommen reichen bis in das zentrale Kongobecken hinein. Sie bedecken auf dem Territorium mehrerer Staaten eine Fläche von 2,5 Millionen Quadratkilometern. Der Schichtenaufbau wird als Kalahari-System (englisch auch Kalahari Sands) bezeichnet. Es existieren Lockersedimente aus äolischen und lakustrischen Entstehungsprozessen.

Die Sandmengen entstanden durch Erosion von Sandsteinen der Kalahari Group und Karoo Supergroup.

Erst in der jüngsten Erdgeschichte, vor etwa 10.000 bis 20.000 Jahren, wurden die Dünen durch Pflanzenwuchs stabilisiert, so dass heute eine Trockensavanne die Landschaft prägt. Die Mehrheit der Dünen wandern also nicht wie etwa in der Namib-Wüste. Es herrschen Gräser, Dornensträucher und Akazienbäume vor, die die langen Trockenperioden von rund zehn Monaten im Jahr überstehen können. Im südwestlichen Areal der Kalahari gibt es äolisch bewegte Dünen.

Unter der Erdoberfläche befinden sich zahlreiche teils großflächige Süßwasservorkommen. Sie dienen als Trinkwasserspeicher; es besteht aber die Gefahr des Versalzens durch Kontakt mit Salzschichten.

Klima

Die jährliche Niederschlagsmenge beträgt im Süden und Westen rund 150–250 mm, während sie im Norden und Osten bis über 500 mm ansteigt, so dass das Klima dort sub-humid ist. Die Kalahari liegt bis auf dieses Gebiet in einer kontinentalen ariden Klimazone. Sie ist gekennzeichnet durch lange Trockenperioden mit unregelmäßigen Sommerregenfällen zwischen Dezember und Februar. In diesen Monaten kommt es auch zu heftigen Gewittern. Die Temperaturen betragen über 30 °C am Tag und bis unter 0 °C in der Nacht, vor allem im Winter.

Die Trockenheit beruht auf der Lage zwischen dem 20. und 30. südlichen Breitengrad. Genauso wie im gleichen nördlichen Bereich werden die Luftmassen gezwungen, vom Urpassat kommend abzusteigen. Dies bewirkt eine zunehmende Erwärmung der Luftmassen, wodurch die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit abnimmt und es zu trockenen, wolkenarmen Klimaverhältnissen kommt. Die mittleren Temperaturen liegen aufgrund der höheren Lage unter denen der Sahara.

Flora und Fauna

Das Okavangodelta ist wegen seines Wasser- und Tierreichtums sowie seiner Vegetation ein untypischer Teil der Kalahari. Je nach Jahreszeit und Wasserstand finden sich hier große Tierherden vieler im südlichen Afrika vorkommenden Arten ein.

Der größte Teil der Kalahari wird von speziellen Dünen- und Wüstengräsern bestimmt, aber auch von hochwachsenden Akazien, die mit ihren langen Wurzeln an die zwar tiefliegenden, aber reichlich vorhandenen Wasseradern gelangen. Nach Regenfällen nimmt die Vegetation stark zu. Man spricht dann auch von der Grünen Kalahari.

Besiedlung
Die frühesten Hinweise auf die Anwesenheit des anatomisch modernen Menschen (Homo sapiens) in der Kalahari sind rund 105.000 Jahre alt und stammen aus einer Epoche, in der Niederschläge wesentlich häufiger waren als sie es dort heute sind. Die Hinweise – Bruchstücke von Straußeneiern und Calcit-Kristalle –  wurden an einem Felsvorsprung am Ga-Mohana-Hügel im südlichen Kalahari-Becken entdeckt, der heute als spiritueller Ort genutzt wird.

Die Kalahari ist das Rückzugs- und heutige Hauptsiedlungsgebiet der San. Dieses Volk gilt – zusammen mit den Khoikhoi – als das erste Siedlungsvolk in dieser Region und war bis zum 16. Jahrhundert in allen Ländern des südlichen Afrika beheimatet. Im Rahmen der afrikanischen Völkerwanderung drängten jedoch Bantuvölker in die Gebiete der San. Die Überlebenden wurden assimiliert oder flüchteten in die lebensfeindliche Kalahari und lernten, sich an deren schwierige Lebensbedingungen anzupassen. Die San sind in Familien organisiert und leben als nomadische Jäger und Sammler von dem reichen Wildbestand der Kalahari und den hier vorkommenden Früchten und Wurzeln. Wasser beziehen sie aus wasserspeichernden Pflanzen, zum Beispiel aus den Früchten der Horngurke (Cucumis metuliferus), und durch das Sammeln von Tau.

Die San kennen traditionell kein Privateigentum; dies und die jahrhundertelange Abgeschiedenheit vom Rest der Welt machen es vielen San sehr schwer, Anschluss an die materialistisch bestimmte Neuzeit zu finden. Die von der botswanischen Regierung zum Schutz der Central Kalahari Game Reserve vorgenommenen Umsiedlungs- und Sesshaftmachungsversuche sind am Widerstand vieler San weitgehend gescheitert.

In der Kalahari gibt es keine größeren Ortschaften. Die Ortschaften Maun, Ghanzi und Kang in Botswana zählen jeweils einige tausend Einwohner.

Wirtschaft

Einige Gebiete der Kalahari liegen brach, in anderen wird Viehwirtschaft betrieben. Insbesondere ist die Kalahari in Namibia flächendeckend in Farmen oder Herero-Stammgebiete eingeteilt. In der namibischen Kalahari werden vor allem Rinder, Schafe oder Wild gehalten. Von hier wird Fleisch nach Europa exportiert. Auch für die Pferdezucht ist die Kalahari geeignet. An verschiedenen Orten der Kalahari, die über genügend Grundwasser verfügen, wird Luzerne angebaut.

Ein weiterer wirtschaftlicher Zweig ist der Tourismus. Immer mehr Touristen werden von der Kalahari mit ihren langen, geraden Sanddünen und der hier vorhandenen Tiervielfalt angezogen. Spezielle Zweige des Tourismus in der Kalahari sind die Jagd, für die es eigene Jagdfarmen gibt, die Astronomie und das Segelfliegen. Verschiedene Farmen stellen Astronomen Fernrohre und andere spezielle Einrichtungen zur Verfügung, die es ermöglichen, unter den günstigen Bedingungen der Kalahari den Sternenhimmel zu fotografieren und zu erforschen. Die Kalahari eignet sich dazu, weil es hier kaum Streulicht gibt, und weil die Kalahari relativ hoch gelegen ist. Ebenso eignet sich die Kalahari insbesondere in den Sommermonaten fürs Segelfliegen. Vom Flugplatz Bitterwasser ausgehend wurden mehrere Weltrekorde aufgestellt.

Im Okavangobecken ist Tourismus der einzige bedeutende wirtschaftliche Zweig. In Salzseen wird "Kalahari-Salz" gefördert, das als hochpreisiges Salz nach Nordamerika und Europa exportiert wird.

Ein weiteres Produkt der Kalahari ist die Kalahari-Seide, die auf Englisch als Kalahari wild silk vermarktet wird.

Die Trans-Kalahari Railway (), ist ein Eisenbahnbauprojekt, das zum Ziel hat, den Export von mineralischen Rohstoffen aus Botswana über den Hafen in Walvis Bay zu ermöglichen.

Obstacles remain for Oh
Oh Eun-sun safely returned to the base camp of Annapurna yesterday morning after reaching its peak on Tuesday, but she's got one last obstacle to face: her skeptics.
Oh was recognized by the Nepal Mountaineering Association as the first female climber to successfully climb all 14 eight-thousanders on Wednesday. Founded in 1973, the NMA is the only national association authorized to issue climbing permits for 33 Nepalese mountain peaks.
However, if Oh wants the blessing of the international climbing community, she must gain the approval of Elizabeth Hawley, head of The Himalyan Database. Since the 1960s, Hawley has compiled records of all the expeditions in the Nepalese Himalayas, along the way earning considerable clout within the climbing community.
Oh's ascent of Kangchenjunga in 2009 has been challenged by Spain's Edurne Pasaban, and Hawley records that climb as "disputed." Pasaban is currently in Tibet preparing to scale Shishapangma, her 14th and final eight-thousander.
If Pasaban manages to scale Shishapangma before Oh's status on Kangchenjunga is upgraded to "recognized," Pasaban would be recognized in Hawley's record books as the world's first female climber to successfully complete all 14 eight-thousanders.
Oh was scheduled to return to base camp earlier but her descent was delayed on Wednesday as an emergency befell another climbing team. Oh and her crew had returned to Camp 4 (7,200 meters, or 23,622 feet) at 12:45 a.m. on April 28 and were scheduled to begin their descent toward Camp 1 in the morning hours of April 28. "We arrived in Camp 4 safely. We're exhausted but the weather is not too bad," Oh had radioed her colleagues at base camp upon returning to Camp 4.
But her descent was delayed by seven-and-a-half hours when a request from a Spanish climbing team led by Juanito Oiarzabal came through in the early hours of April 28.
Team member Tolo Calafat, who had suffered a cerebral edema on his way down from the peak, collapsed in an area roughly six to seven hours away from Camp 4. Oh allegedly urged her crew to help the Spanish team. But embarking on a support mission was ruled out of the question, as Oh's team was coming off an exhaustive climb with little rest.
According to news reports, Calafat died yesterday on Annapurna, and Oiarzabal was quoted as saying that Oh "did nothing" to try and help his team.

The Borno state government on Thursday inaugurated the state Islamic Preaching Board saddled with the responsibility of regulating preaching in order to prevent incitement of religious faithful.
The state is still embroiled in insurgency which is believed to have been as a result of unguarded preaching by the leaders of the Boko Haram sect.
The State Governor, Kashim Shettima who inaugurated the Islamic Preaching Board and the Pilgrims Welfare Board at the Government House Maiduguri, said that the establishment of the preaching board had become imperative to avoid a repeat of the Boko Haram insurgency.
He said: "In 2003 Taliban came out in Kanama and were defeated by the military, they re-grouped and attacked Bama and Gwoza in 2004 they were defeated; re-grouped and attacked Panshekara in 2007; re-grouped and came out in 2009 and were also defeated by the military.
He said the government will also establish Tsangaya Regulatory Board to regulate the proliferation of Tsangaya school and teaching in the state, adding that the influx of of Almajiris need to be regulated to check spread of extremists ideology.
Shettima called on the chairman and members of the committee to bring to bear their experiences to make sure those with radical ideologies did not spread them in the name of preaching.
On the Pilgrims Welfare Board, the governor called on the members of the board to work closely with the Amirul Hajj Committee to ensure a hitch free 2016 hajj exercise.
The Islamic Preaching Board is to be headed by the Chief Imam of Borno, Laisu Ahmed, while Mohammdu Mustapha, Arabi Fatahi, Ali Mustapha, Ibrahim Mustapha among others as members.
While the Pilgrims Board has Ali Gapchiya as chairman, with Bako Gurantee, Abubakar Kyari among other as members.
Earlier in his remarks, the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Mustapha Fanarambe thanked the governor for constituting the two important committees, stressing that the constitution of the boards was an indication of the state government's determination to ensure that the relative peace the state is experiences did not suffered a setback again.
He said the pilgrims welfare board inauguration could not have come at a better time, as the 2016 Hajj exercise has commenced, while the maiden airlift of Borno pilgrims is scheduled to take off on Saturday.
Speaking on behalf of the two Committees, Mohammed Ali Gapchiya commended the state government for inaugurating the committees and called on the governor to establish a State Council of Ulamas to serve as a spiritual link between the state government and the Ulamas.
He assured the government and people of Borno that they will do their best to ensure that they justify the confidence reposed on them.

Testing the Limits of Entertainment Value
By Isabella Dow
April 19, 2017 Updated June 1, 2020 at 1:11 pm
There I was, lounging on a chaise by the pool, watching the balmy and salty breeze tousling the heavy palm tree leaves. The warmth from the radiant sun was glorious—the aquamarine ocean sparkled off to the horizon in an Insta-worthy scene. The dreamy clouds in the pale-blue sky were fluffier than a rabbit's cottontail, and I couldn't have imagined a more idyllic setting when I was in Florida marinating over Easter break. Even the iguanas were perched on the rocks in the distance, with their endearing, wiry tails and sun bathing routine. There was even a live band playing music, which was the multi-colored sprinkle topping on a whipped-cream-covered ice cream sundae, and … you know what, that's it, I'm sorry, I just can't do this anymore.
I have to stop this saccharine narrative for a moment and acknowledge an inconvenient truth: the live entertainment was a one-man band with the voice of one of the Muppets, and his pitchy crooning fractured the blissful atmosphere that I had been waiting for since getting accosted by snowflake daggers all winter long. And for the record, I have mixed feelings about iguanas. Those scaly lizards slither and waddle around, and they seem harmless enough, but they've always got a sneer on their face, and the almanacs and horoscopes can't seem to give me a legitimate explanation for their uncalled-for demeanor. But I digress.
If you had told me that Fozzie Bear or Gonzo was actually wailing into the mic the other day, I wouldn't have been surprised at all. One of the staff workers saw my family and I guffawing among ourselves, and said he was convinced a cat-dog creature had got its tail crunched under a car, and that was what we were actually hearing. But no, lucky for any furry mammals in the area, everyone was in the presence of a singer absolutely butchering a tropical version of "Just the Two of Us," by Grover Washington and Bill Withers. I would have expected such an ear splitting, cringe-inducing spectacle from a bunch of tipsy tourists at beach karaoke night. But from someone that was actually getting paid to sing in front of living, breathing people … in public? Inconceivable.
Now, I can assure you, it wasn't just me that was in awe of the questionable antics of this performer: a quick look around the pool showcased amused conversations and stifled laughter as people tried to decide if their ears were actually bleeding, or if the entertainment got everyone's attention for the wrong reasons. If the goal was to entice guests to stick around and enjoy their vacation, well, I guess that mission was accomplished, because no one could bring themselves to leave the trainwreck on the makeshift stage next to the bar. Once people acknowledged that it was not a pleasant auditory experience, they had a lot of fun looking at a singer that was having a good time in all his unpleasant glory.
Few people set out to look at someone doing something they presumably love and cackle haughtily at the fact that it's just not quite measuring up to what one would consider "good" entertainment. It took me several songs of good-faith effort to appreciate the music in all of its amateur-hour splendor to realize that I would be crushed under the weight of my cognitive dissonance if I insisted upon considering this spectacle in earnest. I wasn't laughing at the performance because I felt the need to squash anyone's dreams. My singing talents are marginally better than the melodic tunes of a beached whale, so I'm not one to judge others for what they can or cannot do. People say all the time that they can't sing, but the fun thing was that this logic didn't stop this artist from going up there and jamming out anyways.
I think there is something to be said about entertainment that grates on your last nerve to the point where you enjoy watching it. I will certainly remember this delightfully dreadful performance for years to come, and that's more than I could say for a perfectly average, ultimately dull band that I wouldn't have thought twice about. All dramatic, saturated description aside, it takes guts to go on stage and perform for an audience, and that's something for which I can set the jokes aside and acknowledge in earnest. But with that said, please consider lip syncing or autotune the next time you feel inclined to subject everyone to singing to which even Bob Dylan would do a facepalm.

kick up her little red boots! but of course she thinks she's the Queen!... and on top of her crown is a little birdie that sings to her. I hope Rhonda will love her as much as I loved creating her!
I am delighted to have found your charming blog. I love your little dolls and I'm so inspired my them. A couple of years ago I purchased a box filled with craft items at a yard sale and in the box were some little doll heads. Very pretty little heads, but I had no idea what I would or could do with them. Therefore; I put them in a small box, labeled it, and put it high upon a shelf in my little studio. Now, dear sweet friend, thanks to you, I see creative inspiration and a bright future for them.
I am your newest follower and I would be "over the moon" if you would visit and maybe decide to follow me back. I love making new blogging friends and sharing ideas.
These Corky dolls are absolutely beautiful. People never cease to amaze me with their talent.

After four months of silence, the Berkshire Museum suddenly demanded last week that my clients dismiss their still-pending lawsuit over the governance of the museum by claiming that the April decision by the Single Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court that lifted the binding restrictions that the sales of its art collection would have violated somehow put an end to my clients' case (which has been scheduled for oral argument on September 4, 2018 in Boston). By letter on Tuesday, I explained that the museum was quite mistaken indeed. Yesterday, the museum escalated and filed a request that Appeals Court simply dismiss the appeal, and actually accused my clients of acting in bad faith. The museum also saw fit to put the text of the letter into a press release that it circulated widely through its public relations team.
This afternoon we filed our response, the text of which is reproduced below. Put simply, while the lawsuit quite explicitly sought to stop the sale of the museum's art collection, the fact that some of the works have already been sold does not begin to answer the questions that the lawsuit raised.
My clients look forward to the argument after Labor Day.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst Preview
Evan Schwab April 22, 2016 Features
Many, many moons ago, the wonderful people at DICE gave us a high octane, first person parkour title called Mirror's Edge, exclusively for the Xbox 360 and later Windows (and, eventually, the PlayStation 3). Gamers who took the opportunity to explore Faith's luminous and white world were rewarded with wonderful and tight gameplay, and one of the most unique games of the generation. Years passed without as much as a word for a sequel. The game received fairly positive reviews, and it was loved by a rabid fan base. It was to everyone's glee that DICE announced a reboot for Mirror's Edge in the form of Mirror's Edge Catalyst. We at Bit Cultures were given the opportunity to play the closed beta – and, man, was it enjoyable.
The beta opens with Faith, the strong and agile protagonist, awakening in a prison-esque cell on the day of her release. According to the brief backdrop, Faith was caught by security during one of her missions, and it's assumed some sort of foul play was afoot. As soon as she exits the security terminal, she's met by a mysterious man, Icarus, a new member of her Cabal – the organization she works for – who takes her off the security grid and points her home. Unfortunately, once her connection is cut from KSec, Faith become a wanted fugitive; and thus, the tutorial begins.
For Mirror's Edge veterans, gameplay will feel natural; not much has changed from the basic parkour action that worked surprisingly well. Sprinting is accomplished by holding the right mouse button, and you can vault objects and jump with the space bar, slide under bars or low walls with control, and fight with either the left mouse button or the F key. As you progress and upgrade Faith, more parkour and combat actions become available, making her a deadly adversary for the cocky and unsuspecting security forces. Once you've succeeded in the tutorial, you must guide Faith to the hideout of her Cabal and its leader Noah, who sends you out on your first mission.
From what I've played of the closed beta, missions are split in a few directions. Main story missions have you running mostly unique objectives (though the first few missions appear to be tutorials and have you completing side task objectives). Mirror's Edge Catalyst, however, maintains a completely open world map. That's right, the entire city is open to your hardcore parkour fetish. Side quests can be found via your map (opened with the tab key), and they, from what I've seen, consist of timed speed runs and data collection and drop offs. I imagine there will be plenty more to choose from upon full release. Faith can also sabotage security by stealing chips from electrical panels, and she can collect other collectibles throughout the map.
This is how Faith finds her paths
But honestly, if Mirror's Edge provided a meager story and nothing to do but parkour, I think I could find myself venturing the city for hours. DICE really nailed the parkour gameplay style – something no other developer, to my knowledge, has been able to do well (think Brink). All of your actions flow smoothly together, and the more you upgrade Faith, the more creative and fluent your parkour will become. I cannot speak highly enough about the gameplay mechanics in Mirror's Edge. Oh, and let's not forget – the game is beautiful. From character models to the immaculate city, DICE's famed knack for incredible graphics shines.
To play the devil's advocate, however, I will point out one frustrating piece of gameplay: combat. As I mentioned earlier, the F key allows Faith to attack regularly; however, not all enemies will succumb to a simple barrage of the F key. More advanced enemy types require Faith to dodge around attacks (requiring an arrow key and the right mouse button during combat) to land successful hits. Others still will require you to get creative, especially when battling more than two soldiers at once. On the bright side, Faith can induce parkour attacks where she executes an assault as she exits parkour. For example, when wall running and jumping, if you click the left mouse button right before you land on an enemy, you will one shot him with a drop kick. Other parkour attacks involve a slide kick (left-clicking at the terminus of a parkour slide), a body drop, and a side kick (where Faith can kick one soldier into the next by choosing a direction). Some missions require Faith to never break from a sprint, meaning she must utilize her parkour attacks on the entire run (if she stops, the mission is failed, and she must try again).
To summarize, Mirror's Edge Catalyst's closed beta offered just a mere glimpse into what looks like to be an expansive, gorgeous title. Tight controls and a large set of upgrades lend to extremely enjoyable gameplay that, at least for me, won't get stale anytime soon. Set to hit retailers in the U.S. in early June, Mirror's Edge Catalyst is shaping up to be a hit. Look for our review once we get our hands on the final copy.

Maximizing the space that your vehicle has for transporting items and gear can seem like a difficult task, especially if you don't have the back seat available because of passengers. The trunk in your Hyundai may be spacious, but it may not be big enough for everything you want to bring with you. Investing in something like a roof rack can increase the space for luggage and gear dramatically so that you're not trying to fit things where they just cant. Browse our options here.


There's nothing like enjoying a meal outdoors in the summer, even on one of thebusiest streets in the midwest.
Meli's cafe, which has three locations, offers al fresco (fresh air) dining at its 500 S. Dearborn Street location. It has two other locations in Downtown Chicago, 301 S. Halsted Street and 540 N. Wells Street.
Although Dearborn street is often a traffic jam with horns blaring, wheels screeching and sirens blaring, all that just makes for an action-packed movie-like environment while you enjoy a great meal.
Being on a Calorie counting diet, I select healthy foods with low calorie counts. Dieting by counting calories does work, but you have to have a little patience to calculate the calories. My goal is under 1,200 a day and that's been very easy, so far without cutting back on my favorite carbohydrates, proteins and dietary drinks.
Meli Cafe fit my menu needs and I ordered the Salmon Salad, about 550 calories total. The Salmon is the bulk of the calories and the salad was great, along with low cal dressing.
The biggest complaint about downtown Chicago used to be that it was crime ridden and its smelled. Well, the smell was gone, although I can't talk much about the crime, fortunately.
No one bothered us, that is if you learn to enjoy the peculiar people who sometimes wander the streets singing, yelling into the sky — or at you — or panhandle for money.
Sorry folks about I take care of a needy person, so I don't share the profits outside of that circle much. It's expensive. So the best response is avoid eye contact. They should be in shelters not wandering the streets begging for money, at least that's where the person I help resides with my support.
Still, CHicago is just one big circus without a tent or restricted to the "rings." The Elephant poop is gone, although you might see the occasional Chicago Police officers in blue with blue helmets riding horses up and down the streets avoiding the traffic jams that plague the Loop.
It was fun. Meli has two rows of small tables on the sidewalk adjacent to Dearborn Street, bordered by a small, low "fence" that you can see over.
It was fun, a great experience. And Meli's menu is phenomenal, like I said with many options for those watching their weight and monitoring their diets.
I was there with my wife and son and they enjoyed their meal, too.
Like all downtown Chicago restaurants, it was expensive. More than a similar meal in one of the outlying and great suburbs like Naperville or Orland Park. But it was worth the extra fee to enjoy the "urban ambiance" of daily life and sounds.
The Mediterranean salad with Salmon was $20. Not too bad for a salad with a major meat item. The Salmon was great.
Check them out. It's a fun experience. You can't be afraid of Chicago. You have to be adventurous, but always cautious.
Meli Cafe is the perfect place to enjoy the South end of the Loop.

Wade was suspended over an alleged "offer" he made to a recruit that was caught on a wiretap in a conversation with Christian Dawkins, an ex-middleman who has been found guilty and will serve jail time for his role in the college basketball corruption scandal.
"Wade's explanations and clarifications offered during the meeting, absent actual evidence of misconduct, satisfy his contractual obligation to LSU", Alleva said. The Tigers then advanced past the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament before falling to eventual Final Four participant Michigan State.
In his own statement, Wade said he was "humbled and grateful" to be back at LSU. "I intend to sit down with my student-athletes and co-workers to explain what has happened during the last 30 days and how I intend for us all to move forward". However, the seriousness of the allegations and Coach Wade's prior refusal to refute them could not be ignored without exposing the University and the basketball program to great risk. The two sides finally met Friday alongside NCAA compliance officials, and Alleva said he was satisfied with Wade's responses.
LSU suspended Wade the following day. Protecting LSU and preserving our integrity must always be our first priority. Comments from Joe Alleva and Coach Wade. Accordingly, I have recommended that Coach Wade's suspension be lifted and that he should be allowed to resume his coaching responsibilities. The university revealed the news via press release tonight. "I completely understand that without my denying or explaining the media reports accusing me of wrongdoing, LSU was left with no choice but to suspend me".

With Memorial Day quickly approaching (landing on May 25 this year) it's worth taking a moment to remember the true meaning behind this American holiday. No, it's not to barbecue or hit the beach. The real purpose for this late May observance is much more important and somber.
Memorial Day, which became a federal holiday in 1971, pays tribute to those who have perished in service to our nation, laying the ultimate sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
This year, let's all take a moment to honor their memory and spend Memorial Day doing some of these fun family-friendly activities.

Immunoscore® to select patients in the POCHI trial, a phase II multicenter trial testing immunotherapy with chemotherapy and bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer
Marseille, France, September 10, 2020 - HalioDx SAS, the immuno-oncology diagnostic company, today announced that it has entered into a Collaboration Agreement with the FFCD, the French Cooperative Group dedicated exclusively to digestive oncology, on the Phase II multicenter POCHI trial (FFCD1703 - NCT04262687) in which immune response at the tumor site will be used to inform patient eligibility to participiate in the POCHI trial. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab in combnation with XELOX (capecitabine plus oxaliplatin) and bevacizumab as first line treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) / proficient mismatch repair system (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with high immune infiltrate.
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated high efficacy in mCRC with microsatellite instability (MSI) / deficient mismatch repair system (dMMR) but remain ineffective alone in MSS/ pMMR tumors. MSS/pMMR tumors presenting a high immune infiltrate as assessed by Immunoscore® could be sensitive to ICI therapy. The POCHI trial will prospectively enroll about 400 patients with the goal of testing the combination on 55 patients with an MSS/pMMR mCRC with high immune response (˜15%).
David Tougeron, MD, PhD at Poitiers University Hospital, Principal Investigator of the POCHI trial comments: "The POCHI study is crucial to determine whether tumor immune response assessment can help identifying MSS/pMMR mCRC patients eligible for ICI in combination with chemotherapy plus anti-angiogenic. We believe that this study will lead to a phase III trial to evaluate ICI combination in patients with an MSS/pMMR mCRC with a high immune score."
Vincent FERT, CEO of HalioDx comments: "Immunoscore® offers a unique opportunity to extend the number of patients with mCRC potentially candidates to immunotherapy, and we are delighted to take part in this effort. Aside the now well demonstrated performances and clinical utility of Immunoscore® in localized colon cancer and notably its predictive performance for the duration of adjuvant chemotherapy, we believe that Immunoscore®, holds a significant potential for predicting immunotherapy response by gauging the immune response to tumor", he added.
About MSS/pMMR mCRC and the POCHI trial
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second in terms of mortality. Over 1.8 million of CRC cases and 881.000 CRC-related deaths were estimated to occur in 2018 in the world. Despite significant improvements in CRC treatment, the prognosis of patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) remains poor, with a median overall survival (OS) of approximately 30?months. For this reason, novel and more effective therapeutic strategies are necessary for metastatic disease.
About 85% of cases of non-metastatic CRC are related to chromosomal instability and have a proficient DNA Mismatch-Repair system (pMMR) which are also called CRC with microsatellite stability (MSS). Other CRC, i.e. 15%, present "microsatellite instability" (MSI) with deficient DNA Mismatch-Repair system (dMMR). These latter are characterized by generation of many neo-antigens due to genomic instability, which result in a high anti-tumor immune response and a high peri- and/or intra-tumor lymphocyte infiltration (TIL). Investigators recently showed, with a prospectively validated immune score, that ˜15% of MSS/pMMR CRC are also highly immune infiltrated.
Pembrolizumab is an anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody recently approved in many cancers. Anti-PD1 antibodies have recently been reported as being very effective in patients with MSI/dMMR metastatic CRC (mCRC) whereas MSS/pMMR mCRC did not benefit from anti-PD1 antibodies alone. However, it is possible that 15% of MSS/pMMR mCRC with a high immune infiltrate in the tumor may be a subgroup of MSS/pMMR mCRC sensitive to ICI in combination with immunogenic drugs like oxaliplatin and anti-angiogenic.
Investigators formulated the hypothesis that patients with an MSS/pMMR CRC and a high immuneinfiltrate could be sensitive to ICI combination. Therefore, blocks of resected primary tumor will be collected and analyzed prospectively. Tumors will then be classified as having a "high" or "low" immune response according to the density and type of lymphocyte infiltrate. Only patients with a high immune response will be eligible for the POCHI trial. The clinical hypotheses are to increase rate of patients alive and without radiological and/or clinical progression at 10 months (PFS at 10 months) from 50% to 70%.
If investigators identify an immune score clinically relevant to predict sensitivity to ICI in MSS/pMMR mCRC, a randomized phase III trial could be considered to compare chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic versus chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic plus pembrolizumab in patients with an MSS/pMMR mCRC and a high immune score.
About Immunoscore®
Immunoscore® is an in vitro diagnostic test measuring the host immune response at the tumor site. It provides a robust, precise, and quantitative assessment of lymphocytic infiltration and has been shown to predict outcome and response to therapies in several indications. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO), in its latest edition of the Digestive System Tumours, introduced immune response as an essential and desirable diagnostic criterion for colorectal cancer, in addition to traditional histological parameters. This was followed in July, by the entering of Immunoscore® in the 2020 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Diagnosis, Treatment and Follow-up for Localised Colon Cancer. Immunoscore® is currently being investigated in a broad number of clinical studies and cancer indications for establishing its performance as a prognostic factor as well as a predictive factor for response to drugs, notably chemotherapies and immunotherapies.
Immunoscore® Colon is the first IVD diagnostic test of our Immunoscore® portfolio for which a comprehensive corpus of clinical data demonstrating its clinical utility associated with TNM scoring in the management of localized colon cancer has been published. Additional immune-based assays in the same portfolio are used as clinical trial assays to support translational research and clinical development. Those assays enable Multiplex Spatial Tissue Analysis and combine proprietary multiplexed immunohistochemistry, advanced image analysis and computerized algorithms.
Immunoscore® is commercially available in more than 20 countries.

Q: Having some trouble with click event inside map I'm retrieving events from Firebase and I want to show a list of them with buttons saying 'subscribe' if the person is not subscribed to it, or 'unsubscribe'. That's where I'm having issues.
I added a click event to every btn-primary button and I check if the button that was clicked has the class btn-danger. If it has then remove it, if not then add it.
It was supposed to run only one time, but I put a console.log inside of it and it's printing the amount of events retrieved and it's subscribing to all events instead of subscribing only to the one the person clicked it. It's inside of a map().
