Education of a football player
December 20, 2011, Winter's Eve in Coverciano. Roberto Baggio, FIFA's chief technical officer, puts on the table an 890-page document to revolutionize talent growth in Italy. Future Renewal, the ambitious nickname chosen by those summoned to rethink the football movement after the collapse of Lippi II in South Africa (the latter in a tin group made up of New Zealand, Paraguay and Slovakia). So he remembers that day his historic director, Vittorio Petroni, who also joined the previous Ballon d'Or in this adventure as a member of the artistic sector and coordinator of youth football development: "We have requested an important investment in nursery culture, to instill values and ethics in all stages of the growth process, "From the age of 10 to the spring youth. But also to standardize the training of technicians, who are often neglected and entrusted to individual initiatives. For young people, hundreds of kilometers from their families, trainers are points of reference and must first and foremost play the role of educators."
On that occasion, he lacked the courage to make a radical choice in foster homes (shortly after Baggio left office), but at the same time, Cesar Prandelli's simultaneous arrival at the national bench inaugurated an administration of blue based on values of justice and legality (Code of Ethics for Football Players Foot, training in fields confiscated from Ndrangheta, visiting Auschwitz or summoning Simon Farina after reporting a football betting case). A furrow was also followed by current coach Roberto Mancini, with a choice to take the field in Bergamo who had contracted a covid or visits to children in the hospital in Rome. In general, it appears that the football world is increasingly aware of their role off the field. And not just to participate in the initiatives promoted by the CSR clubs involved. Symbolically, out of bounds, is the case of Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United striker, who argued fiercely during the lockdown with Prime Minister Boris Johnson about the need for meal vouchers to be distributed to underprivileged children.
Can a similar situation be imagined in Italy? "I don't know, footballers generally tend to avoid terrain that can create tensions with society," says Alessandro Spani, the former Reggiana captain who caused a sensation that he abandoned the sport at only 26 years of age preferring to complete his course at Hult International Business School. in England. "I think it is appropriate to discuss the matter with the manager of social media in charge of this at the club. However, at certain moments, it is necessary to take responsibility. On the occasion of the release of Silvia Romano and her conversion to Islam, it occurred to me that I remember on Instagram my experience as a volunteer in Africa, and imagine myself kidnapped first, dead and then returning to Italy in a coffin, for the sake of a political choice. Do not pay the ransom. I did not ask permission before writing it. I felt the need to take a stand and I did. "

For many years, we have focused on what follows, on how to prepare players once competitive activity ends, neglecting the former, how to reach professionalism, and how this transition should be managed in an era so sensitive to outside calls. Not forgetting that not everyone will reach that moment.
Roberto Samden, Inter director of the youth sector, does not doubt that. "An important cultural change is taking place in the world of sports, which is not yet complete, after realizing that children attending the youth sectors are not so much the future of football as they represent the next ruling class in the country. This is why it is important that they have adequate training. Off the field is part of the training for us, it is nothing complementary. "Valerio Ciati, 41, in charge of the Bologna School of Football for eight years, is keen to emphasize the evolution of the role of the educator:" We have realized the importance of some details, such as the language that is not Verbal. The technician who puts his hands in his hair for a wrong pass sends a censorship message even without shouting. This does not mean that the error should not be corrected, but it is better to do so with the phrase: "Well, I tried, also think about the other option that was from You can do it. "It is a gradual management of pressure, leaving the child's desire to play intact, and then offering more responsibilities along the way. A path that requires parental cooperation:" Parents, who remain the most important reference point for young athletes, must be involved in not being charged. Their son or daughter fulfills expectations The returning child from the game should be asked: "So, did you win today?" Rather, "Did you enjoy?", "Was it a great day?", And then, only after that, "And how did the game go? "".
An important role for community and parent communication is the role that Enrico Costi played in Sassuolo for seven years, who is in charge of the forty youngsters staying at Neroverde Boarding School (for example, Claude Adjapong, Martin Erlic and Nicholas Pierini passed through those rooms). "The good fortune of living in a city of forty thousand people allowed me to build a relationship with all the schools in the area. If one of our children encounters some difficulties between the offices, I speak to the professors, and of course to the family, to think together about how to recover. Boarding school rules are few but very clear. Respect for everyone in the club, from the coach to the chef. Until last year, before Covid, we had also given small symbolic fines, a few euros, for inattention, an uncleaned table or an unmade bed. Gruzzoletto that at the end of the year we donated to local associations. '
Jonathan Binotto, 120 Serie A matches, asks the boys he coaches on the Under-15 team for SPAL for their mid-year report cards. "As a club, we are very interested in the school, we have also given tribute to the boy who better combines commitment to sport and school. If someone happened to be short of recovery, I come to see them, give them time to get back on track, and temporarily relieve them from one of their weekly training sessions. "School comes first: not everyone will penetrate football, while it is possible that they will include the future doctors who will treat us, the engineers who will build our homes or the teachers who will take care of our grandchildren."
READ 'I'm doing my best,' it refers to the prop of La Rochelle Ramiro Herrera, who can continue in the end.
In Fiorentina, where Vincenzo Virgin took a leave of absence after 14 years leading the youth sector, they are particularly proud of the boarding high school, born in 2012, which also targets non-members of the club. "The thing that makes us proud," they say, "is that we were among the first to promote the personality of a sports teacher, now not only is it recognized in Europe, but mandatory in all Italian professional sports clubs. The teachers combine skills with passion, and reinforce in our athletes not Only knowledge but a "desire to know." An education that makes them more men than players. Together with Juventus Football Club, we were also the first to fight for the "right to study" for high-level student-athletes, and advocates of legislation 279-18 allowing for recognition. They are referred to as justified absences, for example, due to competitive obligations. "
In terms of the training process, the importance of subsidiaries of major clubs increases, allowing young promises to become softer, explained Luigi Lardone, president of Osteamari, the company in which Daniele De Rossi grew up, and who has been linked since this year to Fiorentina specifically. . "We were looking for a first-class club that would allow us to be a branch where we could grow local horizons here without the trauma of moving at 13 or 14. Today, young people are much more fragile in character than they were a few decades ago, which is why we prefer to avoid Early separation from family, while still ensuring a high standard of teaching. To take an academic example, even if the title is the same, being a Harvard law graduate is not the same as at Tor Vergata. However, if I have the potential to train Tor teachers "Vergata at Harvard or hosting American teachers in Italy, my title is also growing academically. Here, Rocco Comiso for us is Harvard.
The sensitive aspect is the use of social networks. All clubs have bylaws on correct use, and in a more or less obvious way, they all keep an eye on what young athletes post on Instagram, Tiktok or Facebook. Francesco Morara, the Bologna Under-15 coach, insists with the boys on a sense of belonging and responsibility: "The boys, despite their fourteen-year-old upbringing, must remember that they represent Bologna FC at every moment of their lives, not just on the field. … but also when they go out in the evening with friends, in school offices or, in fact, on social networks. "" One of the hottest stages is the post-match phase, "adds Pierluigi Carta, Director of Sports and President of Cagliari's Youth Football Sector. "The adrenaline of the just-ended race can lead to the publication of something inappropriate, so our concern is our utmost to avoid problems that could unleash the children or the image of the company. Even if they are young, they should never forget to represent a unique club that represents history and land. Even a people ».

A fairly frequent situation is that there are boys in youth squads especially cheering for a team in different colors than the ones they wear. "In these cases we invite you to postpone social activities. We are doing this in their interest, so that we do not have to backfire in a possible future career," explains Annalisa Novembre, Inter Youth Sector Project Manager. An immediate nod to Sandro Tonale, for whom someone this summer remembered the anti-Inter posts written at the age of 12 when he appeared to be about to wear the Nerazzurri shirt. The Inter Education Project includes all young people in the youth sector, from the very young, under the age of 9, to those who, in the spring, begin to smell professionalism. "We hold meetings on issues such as racism, bullying and football betting, as well as sporting activities with less fortunate facts such as playing games with boys in Beccaria Juvenile Prison or organizing a children's cancer tournament. Hospital presence seeks to ensure this with visits involving athletes of all formations, from the first team to the youngest and youngest. The teenager will never forget a volunteer experience with the hero who cheers him on Sunday next to him ». Growing up young Rashford. Could.

Q: How to use getQ and putQ in template haskell? I would like to handle states in Q monad with Template Haskell.
According to some stack overflow's answers, there is a solution that uses unsafePerformIO, but I want to avoid using it as long as I can.
I found getQ and putQ in the module Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax. These functions handle states in Q monad shown by template-haskell 2.10 document.
I tried to use this API, but getQ fails to get states.
Following code is an example of my problem.
I expects x to be bounded to (Just B),but x is always Nothing.
-- X.hs
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveDataTypeable #-}
module X where
import Data.Typeable
data T = A | B | C deriving (Typeable,Show)

-- Y.hs
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module Y where
import X
import Language.Haskell.TH
import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax
-- splice for testing getQ and putQ
do
  putQ B
  x <- getQ :: Q (Maybe T)
  runIO $ print x -- prints Nothing
  return []

as a result , I got following compile message.
$ ghc -fforce-recomp Y.hs
[1 of 2] Compiling X                ( X.hs, X.o )
[2 of 2] Compiling Y                ( Y.hs, Y.o )
Nothing

How to use getQ and putQ?

A: There's currently a bug in getQ: it was recently fixed and should be working in the next version of GHC.

An important function of our Department is to help unions conduct national boycotts that have been endorsed by the AFL-CIO Executive Council. The Department maintains and publishes the "Don't Buy" list of companies being boycotted and the products and services involved. In addition, you can see information on boycott updates.
A company and its products or services are put on the national list of AFL-CIO-endorsed boycotts at the request of affiliated international and national unions that are working to help the firm's employees overcome management efforts to keep them from winning justice on the job through organizing and collective bargaining.
A boycott is endorsed by the AFL-CIO after it has been initiated by the international and/or national union as part of a broader campaign on behalf of employees of the targeted company.
As appropriate, the AFL-CIO and the Union Label & Service Trades Department assist the international/national union with publicizing the boycott. The union retains the primary responsibility for conducting the boycott.
Companies,their products and services are added to and removed from the list as events warrant.
The AFL-CIO Executive Council has developed policy guidelines that regulate how the federation endorses boycotts undertaken by its affiliates. To get AFL-CIO sanction, boycotts should be directed at primary employers.
Any affiliated union with a contract in force with the same primary employer will be contacted by the AFL-CIO to determine whether there is an objection to the federation's endorsement.
Affiliates will be asked to provide the AFL-CIO with background information on the dispute in a confi dential information survey. Prior to endorsement of the boycott, the executive offi cers, or their designees, will meet with the national union's officers, or their designees, to discuss the union's strategic plan and timetable for the boycott, or other appropriate tactics, and to discuss the federation's role.
The national or international union initiating the boycott is primarily responsible for all boycott activities; the AFL-CIO will provide supplemental support.
Boycotts will be carried on the AFL-CIO national boycott list for a period of one year, and the endorsement will expire automatically at the end of that time. National and international unions may request one-year extensions of the listings for actions where an organizing or bargaining campaign is actively in place.
This includes the Crowne Plaza Hotel LAX, Yokoso Sushi Bar, the Landing Restaurant, Century Taproom, and the Boulevard Market Cafe.

The candidate will actively work with and support the Property and Family departments. Should have exposure to two areas of Law, which will add a lot of strings to bow. Should have 6 months? experience.
Potential training contract on offer for a Litigation and Family Paralegal in London.
The successful candidate will be joining our client?s London office to assist and support litigation and family fee earners and in the long-term, could be offered a potential training contract.


Eeeeek! We are so happy with how this all came out. I've been so excited to share. It feels so fancy- I've never had a fancy kitchen before!! So above you can see how outdated our old kitchen was. We did our best when we moved in, but I've longed to redo it the last 3.5 years. When we moved in, the walls were yellow and there was a floral type backsplash. We painted both the walls and the tile with white paint as a quick band-aid. So when the chance to redo the kitchen in partnership with Frigidaire Professional and Lowe's came up, we knew we wanted a major update! What we love most about the Frigidaire Professional Collection, is that you can have professional-grade appliances in your home, without having to do any kind of renovation. The collection's appliances are all designed to fit existing kitchen cutouts, making upgrading your kitchen totally accessible to even remodeling newbies, like ourselves!
Appliances: Oh baby! Let's talk about the stars of the kitchen. I have always LOVED to cook, but since everything has been finished I've been extra excited to get in there and cook on my new Frigidaire Professional appliances. I've been cooking up a storm these last few weeks. I've only ever had an electric range, so switching to gas was such a treat. I love that the Gas Cooktop has grates on top that are continuous. It makes sliding heavy pots and pans across the burners super easy. It also comes with a griddle/grill attachment that fits over the center burner! Let's just say Rowan is pretty pumped about this feature. That girl loves her pancakes!
One of my favorite decisions we made for the kitchen is the cooktop and wall oven combination. I love the finished look!! I was totally surprised that a wall oven didn't have to go, you know, up in a wall. We weren't in the position to tear walls down and restructure the kitchen. The Frigidaire Professional Wall Oven fits perfectly below the counter and gives such a clean, professional style. I also love the powerful performance and No Preheat feature.
The Frigidaire Professional Dishwasher runs quietly and has lots of great features, We love the blue light that turns on when the load is clean. With all the cooking I've been doing, I've found that you can't beat a 30-minute wash cycle. Washes dishes in a quarter of the time with a powerful and fast clean!
Now. Let's all bow down to the king of the kitchen, shall we? I've never had a refrigerator that could hold all the fresh produce I buy, and I buy a lot. Four out of five of us are vegetarian so we consume fruits and veggies like whoa in this house. Our old fridge was always stuffed to the max and I would get so frustrated trying to find stuff. I'd be super bummed out when I would have to throw something away that had gone bad just because I forgot it was in there. The Frigidaire Professional French Door Refrigerator is my knight in shining armor. THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM IN THERE! And when you open the doors, it all lights up fancy like angels are singing about the glorious food inside. Am I getting too carried away with how much I love this fridge? Maybe, but it's true. I love it! It's got awesome shelves that you can change in a flash to organize all your stuff. It's perfect.
The big thing we wanted to do was take down the upper cabinets and replace them with open shelving. Our kitchen has always felt super dark. There's really only the one window above the sink and with the heavy cabinets up top, it really made it feel smaller than it was. We got some great thick wood from Lowe's and had it cut right there in the store to the exact sizes we needed. I just simply stained them, and the result was the perfect natural, yet slightly worn looking shelf. I was so weary of finding the right stain and I can't say enough for how beautiful the shelves came out! DIY post and tips for having open shelving and an open pantry to come soon!
Tile: I also really wanted to subway tile from the counter up to the ceiling to help brighten up the kitchen. The tiling was by far the biggest project. The nice people at Lowe's were so helpful when I showed up with 3 crazy kids and explained I had no idea what I was doing or what I needed, but I needed them to help me out quickly before everyone started having a meltdown. Hahahah. We went with your standard white subway tile and a lighter grey grout. It was the most labor-intensive part of the project, but so worth it. The finished product is gorgeous!
Countertops: This was our biggest investment, but totally worth it. We really wanted a nice countertop! We decided to go with quartz and you know what color we chose? It was called Blanco Orion!! It was the first sample I picked, and when I found out it was called Orion–Duh! Of course I was sold. It's so beautiful and totally makes the entire kitchen. I love the subtle grey hues throughout the piece of stone.
Cabinets: We were planning on just painting the bottom cabinets, but when we decided to replace the countertops we thought, here is our chance to actually do something with the bottom cabinets. We wanted to keep the footprint the same to keep things easy on us. We decided to go with cabinets that Lowe's has in stock, instead of getting custom cabinets made. It really helped keep the cost down and we loved the white Arcadia style. It was a win-win for cost and convenience.
Island: Do you remember the custom pipe desk/shelf thing I built right off our kitchen? Well, I wanted to create an island that tied those two pieces together. Lowe's sells these beautiful precut butcher blocks in two different sizes that you can get right at the store. All we had to do was assemble the parts and attach them together. DIY post to come so you can all build your own kitchen island as well!
Hardware + Fixtures: I have been drooling over brass hardware for quite some time now and decided to go for it. It may be trendy, but it's an easy switch if I ever get tired of them. The faucet we went with was a matte black to match the black shelf brackets and black iron pipe under the island. And the sink… ooooh the sink. I love this sink. It's this beautiful extra large single basin white granite sink. It's so pretty! hahaha. Omgosh I'm such an adult. My 16-year-old self would hate me for just saying I loved a sink.
This post is in partnership with Frigidaire Professional, but all words, opinions and styling are my own. A big huge thank you to Frigidaire Professional and Lowe's for helping our kitchen dreams come true.
What a bright and beautiful kitchen! It must be so fun to have a shiny new space to cook, bake, and hang out in –love those hanging baskets!
it looks lovely! what do you do about storage? the open option is beautiful but where did your microwave and pots and pans go?
Loooove it! We just lived through a kitchen reno too, and I feel like I'm still recovering (though it's been done for 6 weeks!). Where did you get the white crockery holder? And, can you tell us more details about how the open pantry is working for you guys?
Stunning Jen! I absolutely love it, and the appliances are modern. I freaking love that sink and faucet!
How much did it all cost? Don't need to break it all down, but wanted to see if there was a good ballpark number 🙂 it's gorgeous and totally inspired to do our 1960s kitchen!
Great job with the kitchen! I love how it turned out, and that everything has its place. Gives me some inspiration for my 70's house not only in the kitchen, but how to make the entire house more modern.
Love everything! Really love the gold pulls! So fresh!
Gorgeous! We are about to reno a kitchen from the 1950s. I'm so excited and this post is very inspiring! Where did you source the black, wiry banana holder?
Can you tell me where your old rug is from? (the red/blue one) I am in love with it!
Oh wow Jen!! I love it so so much! Enjoy your new space! 🙂 XO Aloha!
I love the open shelves! So pretty!
Wow, this is AMAZING, Jen!!
Can you tell me what the flooring is?
We have a short ceiling for our hood (looks like you did too). Was that hood adjustable? Did you do something extra to get it so short?
I NEVER EVER leave comments on anything….BUT this…I'm going to straight up copy you when we get to doing our kitchen! Well done! SO amazing.
Looks so incredible. I'm very curious to know where you got those wicker and wire baskets from. I need those exact ones so badly but can't find anything like it. Thanks so much!
Doesn't look like you redid the floors. Do you recall what they are? Like the look a lot.
Hi, your kitchen looks beautiful!
I'm also changing my kitchen just like yours. We picked Blanco Orion Silestone, but for some reason it doesn't look like white with gray hue but white with slight yellow tone when it's with white subway tile. Is your subwaytile not white but cream or beige? Would you please let me know the brand name and color of your backsplash tile? It looks perfect with Blanco Orion.
Love your kitchen, would you mind sharing where you got the brackets for your open shelving? I'm having a hard time finding some I like.
This is gorgeous ! Where did you purchase the wood and brackets for the floating shelves ?
Love your kitchen. I am in the process of remodeling my kitchen and would like to know where you got your open shelve brackets?


Mark Lehain is the founder and principal of Bedford Free School.
Let's consider the scene at the Department for Education.
In the recent General Election you were badly affected by the most successful union-coordinated campaign in living memory – that around school funding. It doesn't matter that much of what was said in this campaign was misleading or hyperbolic, it had traction. People trust teachers more than politicians, and when Heads wrote home to blame the government for school cuts, parents listened. This probably feels harsh, especially as school funding was protected in real terms until very recently, and you're moving to a fairer National Funding Formula which everyone agrees is a good thing, albeit in need of cash to protect those losing out from it.
I really don't envy Justine Greening and her team right now. It could and should have been so different. Education since 2010 has been a Conservative success story. As well as protecting spending until recently, teacher pensions were reformed in a way that kept them extremely generous but made them more affordable.
Teachers and schools have been given greater freedom, so they can spend more time doing what they think is best for their students and less on centrally-directed fads. To support this autonomy, the DfE set up an independent body, the Education Endowment Fund, specifically to enable proper, valid research to be conducted, assessed and disseminated. The National Curriculum and exams system were reformed to make them more rigorous. Ofsted was reined in and forced to work with the profession, not antagonise it.
Education secretaries also challenged the vested interests that were holding people back, such as those found in Local Authorities, and addressed some massive wastes of money, like as the Building Schools for the Future scheme. Oh, and of course, the massively successful and popular Free Schools programme was kicked off, to provide more school places and innovation across the country.
And yet today the Education Secretary is facing pressure from all angles, including a union movement re-energised by the funding campaign success. So I'm not surprised that people are reviewing every aspect of education spending to see what can be saved, but I was taken aback yesterday to see a front page story in The Times about the Free School programme potentially being slashed and the money put into the general school budget. Doing this would be short-sighted, would undermine standards, and would be very, very un-conservative.
It would be short-sighted because the vast majority of Free Schools are set up simply to ensure that there are enough places for the rapidly growing number of children in the country.
Between 2016 and 2020 it is estimated that the school population will increase by around 460,000. We can't simply rely on existing schools expanding, as they've already done so massively, creating 444,000 places since 2009. Many schools simply have no room to expand further, and there comes a point where they are too big to effectively support their students.
That's why cutting Free Schools would be short-sighted. It would also damage the progress we've made in raising standards in schools in recent years – and in this regard I don't just mean in terms of exam results or Ofsted judgements.
At its simplest, the Free Schools policy is just a way of lowering the barriers to entry in our school system, allowing schools to spring up where the demand exists. It keeps existing schools on their toes, and has enabled people to innovate, trying completely different approaches to education, and open such variety up to people who would otherwise have been denied it as they couldn't afford higher house prices or private school fees.
The policy has enabled the opening of insanely successful schools as different as Dixons Trinity Academy, West London Free School Primary, Reach Academy Feltham, Tauheedul Islam Boys' High School, School 21, The Boxing Academy and, of course, Michaela Community School.
These schools, and others, have shown what can be done when teachers and parents take control of education for their community. They've piloted methods to transform student culture, reduce teacher workload, and raise educational aspirations in previously low-performing areas. Why would we slow down or stop a programme with such a burgeoning record of success?
Finally, Free Schools are a most quintessentially conservative policy: they transfer power from politicians to people, increase choice and diversity for all, and provide a ladder for social mobility up which children and their families can climb.
It's probably why they are so popular with the communities they're based in. While the naysayers claimed they wouldn't be well received, the opposite has proved to be the case, with secondary Free Schools typically much more oversubscribed than equivalent Local Authority schools.
My own school, Bedford Free School, opened in a town with some surplus places and facing massive political opposition, but is now significantly oversubscribed in every year group, and we've been approved to open a second in nearby St Neots due to overwhelming parental demand for what we're offering.
Any attempt to save money through downgrading this policy would be a false economy. Perhaps more perniciously, a U-turn here would signal a return to the bad old days of "other peoples' children", where those in power, influence and money deny choices to others that they themselves have access to.
I know for a fact that Greening, Theresa May, and others don't believe that; indeed, that they are driven by the very opposite. And that is why they need to shut down immediately any idea of scrapping a policy so perfectly suited to benefit those most in need.

US Coast Guard transfers smugglers, drugs seized in Caribbean Sea
The United States Coast Guard says its cutter Heriberto Hernandez transferred custody of three suspected smugglers and US$5.6 million in seized cocaine to US federal agents at Coast Guard Base San Juan following the interdiction of a drug smuggling vessel in the Caribbean Sea off St Croix, US Virgin Islands.
The US Coast Guard said earlier this week that the suspected smugglers are three males, one Venezuelan and two Dominican Republic nationals, who now face criminal charges by US Department of Justice prosecution partners in the US Attorney's Office for the District of Puerto Rico.
The US Coast Guard said the interdiction resulted from multi-agency efforts in support of US Southern Command's enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area programmes, and the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF).
"This interdiction was the result of great teamwork from beginning to end with our interagency partners." said Lt Peter Kelly, US Coast Guard Cutter Richard Dixon commanding officer.
"I am extremely proud of the execution of the Richard Dixon crew in what was not an easy mission, and we are pleased to have kept such a large amount of cocaine from reaching US streets," he added.
The US Coast Guard said the bust occurred during the afternoon of February 23, after the aircrew of a US Customs and Border Protection Caribbean Air and Marine Branch maritime patrol aircraft detected a suspicious go-fast vessel southeast of St Croix.
The US Coast Guard said the Coast Guard Cutter Richard Dixon diverted to interdict the go-fast vessel with the assistance of the cutter's small boat.
Following the interdiction, the Cutter Richard Dixon's boarding team located and seized over 200 kilogrammes of cocaine, the US Coast Guard said.
It said the crew of the Cutter Richard Dixon "embarked the three men and seized contraband from the go-fast vessel, and later transferred them aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Heriberto Hernandez for transport and offload in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where CCSF federal agents received custody".
The US Coast Guard said the CCSF is a multi-agency organised crime drug enforcement task force group operating in the District of Puerto Rico, "focusing on Caribbean and South American-based transnational criminal organisations involved in the maritime and air smuggling shipments of narcotics from Puerto Rico to the Continental US and in the laundering of drug proceeds using bulk cash smuggling and sophisticated laundering activities".

Svidrigailov explains that he has come to ask Raskolnikov's help in his pursuit of Dunya. Raskolnikov immediately refuses. Svidrigailov contends that he has only the purest feelings for Dunya and that, contrary to rumor, he had nothing to do with the recent death of his wife, Marfa Petrovna. He argues that he is not a monster, only a slave to passion. He then tells a story about how he came to marry his wife, saying that she took advantage of a predicament that he was in to control and dominate him. He claims to have been visited by the ghost of his dead wife several times. Raskolnikov wonders whether his visitor is insane. Svidrigailov says that he has heard of Dunya's engagement to Luzhin, who is a relative of his, and offers to help break off this inappropriate match. Svidrigailov claims that, though he once obsessed over Dunya, he is no longer in love with her but cannot bear her taking such an unsuitable husband. He wants to give her ten thousand rubles as an apology before he either marries or goes on a journey. Raskolnikov assures him that his sister will refuse the gift. Svidrigailov also tells him that his wife has left Dunya three thousand rubles in her will. He leaves, passing Razumikhin on his way out.

Razumikhin and Raskolnikov walk to a restaurant. Razumikhin says that he has spoken with Porfiry Petrovich and Zamyotov and discovered that they suspect Raskolnikov of the murders, which Razumikhin finds absurd. Raskolnikov privately wonders what his friend will think when he finds out that Raskolnikov is indeed guilty. They meet with Luzhin, Dunya, and Pulcheria Alexandrovna and seat themselves around a table. Luzhin's pride is wounded by the presence of the two young men, whose absence he had specifically requested, and he resolves to punish the women. He upsets them by breaking the news of Svidrigailov's arrival in St. Petersburg. He goes on to describe the crimes and depravities that he has heard attributed to Svidrigailov, but Dunya rejects his stories as baseless gossip. Raskolnikov abruptly informs the party of his meeting with Svidrigailov and the money that was willed to Dunya by Marfa Petrovna. He refuses to say what Svidrigailov wants with Dunya. Dunya then confronts Luzhin about his annoyance at her brother's presence, and Luzhin manages to offend everyone in the room with his response. There is an angry confrontation between mother, daughter, and son on one side and fiancé on the other. Dunya orders Luzhin to leave. He does so only after insulting them. As he leaves, he blames his loss of Dunya on Raskolnikov, for whom he now harbors a deep hatred. He convinces himself that he may still have a chance with Dunya.
Summary: Chapter III
After Luzhin departs, the group is overjoyed. Razumikhin is the happiest of all. Raskolnikov, however, quickly becomes anxious again. He tells them about Svidrigailov offering to give Dunya ten thousand rubles, which both women refuse. Razumikhin offers to guard Dunya from the man, and Dunya consents. He suggests that Dunya and her mother stay on in St. Petersburg and proposes that they all go into the publishing business together. Dunya is thrilled with this idea and Raskolnikov assents as well. But then Raskolnikov abruptly gets up to leave. He states that he has resolved to separate himself from them for a long time and that they must not pursue him. The rest of the group is dismayed. Razumikhin chases after him, but Raskolnikov sends him back, telling his friend to stay with Pulcheria Alexandrovna and Dunya. The two stare at each other, and Razumikhin realizes that Raskolnikov is the murderer. He returns to the table.
Analysis: Chapters I–III
Svidrigailov is depicted as a morally weak man who doesn't seem to understand when he is unwelcome or perhaps simply doesn't care. But, unlike most of the other characters, such as the kind and compassionate Razumikhin or the miserly Alyona Ivanovna, Svidrigailov is not drawn quickly and decisively. His mental state, motives, and true nature remain enigmatic throughout the novel. Svidrigailov's entrance into the plot is almost identical to that of Luzhin: like Luzhin in Part II, Chapter IV, Svidrigailov appears unexpectedly in Raskolnikov's room, his entrance made ominous by the fact that he, a stranger, hovers over Raskolnikov at the close of the preceding chapter. Additionally, both discuss their interest in Dunya with Raskolnikov. One subtle difference between these two encounters is that Razumikhin is not present when Svidrigailov shows up; rather, Raskolnikov is alone in his room. Svidrigailov is an unreal shadow of Raskolnikov, a figment of his imagination, delusional like he is and equally dysfunctional in society.
Luzhin returns to cause mischief later in the narrative, but it is clear that his engagement with Dunya is permanently broken. In her decision to reject Luzhin, Dunya is revealed as an intelligent, confident, and decisive woman who, though willing to make sacrifices for the sake of her family, is unwilling to disgrace herself by marrying a man as crude as Luzhin. Her pride is as strong as Raskolnikov's, but, unlike his, it is laced with dignity and motivates her to maintain her integrity in the face of such ill-conceived possibilities as her engagement to Luzhin.
The breaking of the engagement is a major event not only for Dunya but also for Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov's sudden irritation after Luzhin's departure seems, at first, abrupt, but a close look at the timing of his decision to leave reveals its significance. Only after he realizes that Razumikhin will take care of Dunya and Pulcheria Alexandrovna does Raskolnikov announce his need to separate from them. Tainted by his crime, he wishes to distance himself from them, but he is unwilling to do so until he knows that they will be cared for. This consideration marks the beginning of a change in his character. For the first time, he seems to care for others and not just for himself. While Raskolnikov's decision to leave is of a different order than Sonya's prostitution and Dunya's decision to become engaged to Luzhin, it nevertheless reflects his understanding of the importance of family. The contrast between Raskolnikov's lonely, alienated thoughts and the generous affection of Pulcheria Alexandrovna and Dunya only heightens Raskolnikov's inner turmoil and his compulsion to detach himself from his family. His departure from them makes it clear that he either intends to confess voluntarily or believes that he will soon be found out—or, perhaps, that he simply cannot face the people who love him with the secret of the murders hanging over him.

In Huntington, a $10M multidisciplinary medical practice
By: Adina Genn August 11, 2022 Comments Off on In Huntington, a $10M multidisciplinary medical practice
Huntington Village is home to a $10 million newly constructed 10,000-square-foot multidisciplinary practice at 400 Park Avenue, intersecting Main Street.
The Northwell Health facility provides primary care services with four primary care providers, as well as specialty care services for women, which is part of the healthcare system's Katz Women's Health.
With 21 exam rooms, the building a separate primary care service entrance, and separate entrance for the specialty care services for women. Its specialists include providers of OB/GYN, adolescent gynecology, urogynecology, maternal-fetal medicine, family planning, female cardiology and female endocrinology.
"Northwell is extremely excited to open this beautiful destination practice," Stephen Bello, regional executive director of Northwell's Eastern region, said in a statement.
"This location is another demonstration of Northwell's commitment to integrated, multidisciplinary, care within the communities we serve," Bello added.
The new practice is in close proximity to Huntington Hospital.
"For decades there has been a disparity in women's health," Dr. Nick Fitterman, executive director of Huntington Hospital, said in a statement. "This new state-of-the-art facility will close that gap and improve the health care afforded to women in Huntington, while also providing much needed access to primary care to everyone in the surrounding community."
The property was once the site of Platt's Tavern, one of the first buildings in the community. George Washington is said to have dined there on April 23, 1790, during a tour of Long Island, according to the Town of Huntington.

Ganesha, an Indian deity also known as Lord of letters can be seen on motorcycles in India.
In Hinduism, Ganesha refers to the "lord of the hosts," also spelled as Ganesa and Ganesh, often also referred to as Ganapati) - and is one of the most well-known and venerated representations of God (Brahman).
Throughout India and the Hindu culture, Lord Ganesha is the first idol placed into any new home or abode.


Some have called it the Ultimate Quest, but the Christian Church has condemned it as a heresy. The sentencing of Jesus was by the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, but Jesus had actually been condemned and excommunicated prior to that by the Sanhedrin Council of Jewish elders. It therefore comes as no surprise that Joseph negotiated with Pilate to place Jesus in his own family tomb. If we now look at St Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews we discover that he explains the said Ascension event in some greater detail. It is actually quite surprising how much we learn from pulpits or picture-books without checking the biblical text.
During that Friday afternoon when Jesus was on the Cross, there was a three-hour-forward time change. What we do know is that they were first published at various stages in the second half of the first century. But Christians are taught that Jesus's father was a lowly carpenter, while his mother was a virgin - neither of which descriptions can be found in any original text. But why did the vengeful persecutions begin at that particular time? In Luke, however, a completely different date is given.
But we now discover what appears to be another anomaly. At that point, civil death would have become absolute in the eyes of the legal elders of the Sanhedrin Council, whereupon Lazarus would have been wrapped in sacking and buried alive. Dynastic heirs such as Jesus were expressly required to perpetuate their lines. And the woman fled into the wilderness. Like so many others of equal importance, it is not to be found in the Bible!
Traditional If you suddenly find yourself madly in love with a Polish guy, prepare to meet his parents. Poles, and Polish men in particular, do not smile at strangers in the streets. This is explicitly maintained in non-canonical Gospels and even the Islamic Koran confirms the fact in no uncertain terms. This was the only way to produce a generally acceptable text, but their ambition was not entirely successful. As a result, the bishops portrayed Mother Mary as a virgin and Mary Magdalene as a whore - neither of which description was mentioned in any original Gospel.
Only years ago, the Italian scientist Galileo announced that the Earth was in motion around the sun a discovery by the Polish astronomer, Copernicus and for this the Church proclaimed him a heretic. Here is a list of some of the most common qualities ascribed to Poles, decoders online dating and Polish men in particular. The main advantage is you will get to try delicious Polish food while meeting his folks.
And why was it that Jesus's mother, his wife and the rest of the family accepted Joseph's intervention without question? Apart from straightforward misunderstandings, misinterpretations and mistranslations, the canonical Gospels suffer from numerous purposeful amendments. The Nazarenes were a liberal Jewish sect opposed to the strict Hebrew regime of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Some original entries have been changed or deleted, while other entries have been added to suit the Church's vested interest.
Hence, she is the guardian of the sacred Bloodline of the Holy Grail. Had Mary actually been physically virgo intacta, the Semitic word used would have been bethulah, not almah. His crime was that he had led a violent people's revolt to safeguard the public water supply which had been diverted through a new Roman aqueduct in Jerusalem. But who was Joseph of Arimathea - the man who assumed full control of affairs at the Crucifixion?
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war forever with the remnant of her seed - which have the testimony of Jesus Christ'. In fact, quite the reverse was the case.
When anointing her husband at that stage, the Messianic bride was said to be anointing him for burial, as confirmed in the Gospels. Because women become wives and mothers - and the very nature of motherhood is a perpetuation of bloodlines. This was published and set into print no more than years before America's Declaration of Independence - only a few years before the first Pilgrim Fathers set sail from England.
As a result of this express change of the law, it is explained that Jesus was enabled to enter the kingdom of heaven in the priestly Order of Melchizedek. Does the book of Jasher still exist? Indeed, just like today, a common test for reflex action was scratching, prodding or pricking the skin with a sharp instrument.
To facilitate the best possible trust in the Gospels, we must go back to the original Greek manuscripts with their often used Hebrew and Aramaic words and phrases. Also from the Fisher Kings came another important parallel line of succession in Gaul.
Another example is the concept of the Virgin Birth. This was a specific requirement of Judaic law, whereby a wife in ritual mourning was not allowed to emerge from the property until instructed by her husband. As a result, Galileo was hauled before the Catholic Inquisition and kept under house arrest for ten years until he died. Indeed, it was this very rule which Jesus's own parents Joseph and Mary had themselves broken.

Intel to release storage-specific processor this week
Chip aimed at blades, SAN and NAS systems
Lucas Mearian (Computerworld (US)) 11 February, 2010 05:48
Impact Systems Technology
Intel said this week that it plans to launch its embedded storage chip, code-named Jasper Forest, in the next several days.
Intel mentioned its storage chip's impending release as part of its announcement Tuesday that it was going to market with its long-awaited high-end Itanium processor, code-named Tukwila.
The Forest Jasper chip, an enhanced version of Intel's Nehalem Xeon chip, is aimed specifically at the data storage and communications market. It is expected to be able to be integrated with PCI Express (PCIe) and to natively create RAID.
The chip is expected to consolidate storage management workloads, such as data deduplication, data snap shots, virtualization and any basic storage management requirements.
Arun Taneja, founder of storage market research firm Taneja Group, said that as general purpose processors add additional cores and specialized functions (such as RAID processing or hardware-based processing of virtualization), the storage systems designer's job becomes easier in that he does not have to attach specialized hardware to get decent performance.
"This could not be happening at a better time since a virtual server supports a lot more than a single application and performs many storage functions that were otherwise performed elsewhere," he said.
In a response to Computerworld , Intel said it would be releasing the names of some early customers for Jasper Forest, both in the embedded market and storage realm. The processor is aimed at applications such as ultra-dense blades, IPTV, VoIP, network-attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN).
The new Jasper Forest processors are capable of configuring disk drives in an array as a RAID 5 or 6, protecting against single- or dual-disk failure, respectively.
Intel first debuted its Nehalem-based Xeon microprocessor last April.
Intel's storage chip also supports the Storage Bridge Bay specification , which can be used to plug control boards directly into storage arrays, allowing for a denser architecture. Today, storage controllers require a separate blade slot.
Intel said the Jasper Forest chip is expected to reduce overall storage systems power consumption by 27 watts when compared to the Intel Xeon 5500 series. The dual-core Intel Xeon integrates two Jasper Forest processors with 16 PCIe Generation 2.0 lanes each and is paired with the Intel 3420 chipset platform controller hub. This integration of the I/O hub via PCIe enables significant power and space savings, resulting in one of the highest performance-per-watt Intel Xeon chips ever.
Jasper Forest also provides a scalable option to system designers ranging from a a single-core, 23-watt processor to a quad-core, 85-watt processor using the same socket.
The chips are expected to be able to protect against data loss due to power failure with a function called Integrated Asynchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory Self-Refresh memory. The feature automatically detects a power failure as it's happening and enables memory controller sequences to finish and forces the system memory to a self refresh before shutting down.

For those dreaming of genuine adventure, Antarctica has long been considered the last frontier. This pristine landscape of mountains and glaciers remains largely untouched by civilization, however this once-remote destination has moved to the top of many travellers' places to go next list. Global luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent has been taking travellers to Antarctica for over 20 years and is the expert in providing unforgettable travel experiences for its discerning guests.
In order to provide the highest levels of floating accommodation and service in Antarctica, Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), has chartered the spacious new MV Le Boreal for the 2010/2011 Antarctic season. An all-balcony expedition ship, MV Le Boreal features a convenient layout, aided by three passenger elevators. Highlights include a single seating dining room, al fresco dining, an outdoor heated pool, and a modern lecture facility and theatre, as well as an ample and comfortable gathering area and library. A full-service salon, steam rooms, spa and fitness centre are a welcome addition to cater for all guests' requirements. On other cruises to different destinations, she carries more than 264 passengers however in Antarctica, A&K limits her to just 199 guests.
That's an important A&K difference: fewer passengers mean more shore excursions each day, as well as outside staterooms with private balconies for every guest.
- State-of-the-art computerized dynamic positioning eliminates the need for dropping anchor in fragile marine reserves, protecting corals and the environment.
- Thermal and phonic insulation in engines and the propulsion system reduces overall energy consumption. This insulation also minimizes noise and vibration for passenger comfort.
- The most advanced waste water system and waste management. Waste will be sorted, treated and stored in a special refrigerated zone for proper discharge in port. NO water (other than fully potable water), waste or rubbish will be discharged at sea.
- Operates on the lightest and cleanest burning Marine Gas Oil fuel in full compliance with new International Maritime Organization standards taking effect in July 2011.
- Zodiac boats are equipped with fuel efficient 4-stroke engines that meet the strictest environmental standards.
· Classic Antarctica highlights the best of the Antarctic Peninsula: vast penguin and seabird colonies, dramatic icebergs and glaciers … a paradise for those who want to observe and photograph wildlife at close range. Sail through breathtaking Paradise Bay and into the Lemaire Channel. Professor James McClintock will share the changes he has seen over the past 25 years and introduce scientists at Palmer Station. Fourteen day Philanthropic Journey: December 7-20, 2010 from US$9,995.
· On Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, follow in the footsteps of one of the greatest adventurers of all time: Sir Ernest Shackleton. This itinerary offers close-up views of the unique king penguin, along with fur and elephant seals. Visit an active research station on the Antarctic Peninsula. Nineteen day departures Dec 17-Jan 5 and January 2-21, 2011; from US$15,795. Family Departure: December 17, 2010-January 5, 2011. Children under 18 save 50% of cruise price when travelling with an adult (except in suites).
Sujata Raman, A&K's Managing Director says, "As experts in small ship cruising in destinations worldwide, we carefully match the ship to the destination. In a place like Antarctica you need to strike just the right balance between on-board amenities and full-fledged wilderness adventure as well as environmental responsibility. The sleek, contemporary design of Le Boreal allows us to offer a distinctly different adventure cruise experience with private balconies and access to crystal-clear bays and narrow fjords that the big cruise ships simply can't reach."

Moulin Rouge! and Oklahoma! Seismically Shake Broadway
Our summertime boat is frequently home base for some NYC theatre, this time only two shows but what a change of pace from many of those we've seen in summers past. One would think Moulin Rouge! and Oklahoma! would be "traditional" musicals but they felt as "revolutionary" as Hamilton was when we saw that when it originally opened. Hearing so much about these two shows, some negativity from a critic we highly respect, we were determined to experience these with a tabula rasa mentality.
We're glad we did. Had we approached these with our built in biases, ones that are due to our age and previous theatre experiences, there would be a lot that we could seize upon for criticism. First and foremost as traditionalists, if we had to see Oklahoma! over and over again, we would choose the movie version with Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones which comes much closer to the previous stage versions we've seen. And as far as Moulin Rouge! is concerned, the pastiche of seventy or so songs is not of our generation for the most part, except for "Diamonds are Girl's Best Friend" and "Nature Boy." The songs of younger generations predominate, but the swatches of them are seamlessly woven into the production, picking out the right lyrics and musical riff for the moment, so that they move the production right along.
We found ourselves enjoying them in spite of our ingrained aversion to ultra contemporary music. Our son and daughter-in-law sat in the row in front of us, their heads bobbing along to the music with which they're totally familiar, which enhanced our enjoyment as well.
Moulin Rouge! is intended as an over the top extravaganza, another criticism which could be leveled at it from the vantage of the highbrow. It is that, especially sitting in the third row as we were fortunate enough to be. It is a love story as anyone familiar with the movie or La Boheme knows, but the dazzling staging and sensuality trump the love story. Or, one could consider it the strength of this production, one that shares some aspects of Cirque du Soleil, replete with the female lead, Satine, gloriously played by Karen Olivo, descending from the ceiling of the Al Hirschfield Theatre. It is the type of gimmickry we would normally decry but in the context of this musical, it works, as do the songs and the erotic nature of the presentation, the costumes and the movement on the stage. Only a great Broadway company could pull this off.
Satine's love interest, Christian, played by Aaron Tveit, is yet another star in the diamond of a cast as is Tam Mutu playing Christian's adversary, The Duke of Monroth. Danny Burstein plays the MC Harold Zidler, reminiscent of the demonic MC of Cabaret. The ensemble is sexy and vibrant. The chorography of moving all these players around ramps, and platforms stage left and right is breathtaking. When we saw Hamilton, now years ago, we knew we were seeing something for the ages. In its own way Moulin Rouge! will be that memorable.
This brings me to the show we saw the following day, Oklahoma! Last April we saw Ted Chapin, chief creative officer of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, interviewed at Dramaworks' "Dramalogue – Talking Theatre!" Much of the discussion was about the decision making process that went into his giving the green light to this 'dark-side-of-the-moon' version of this fabled musical. Clearly, had there been no Hamilton, perhaps this adaptation would never have been approved. It is indeed reimagined, taking such an innocent story ( albeit with a sinister side) and turns it topsy-turvey; utterly stripped down to its essentials.
You know the second you enter the Circle in the Square Theatre, Winchester Rifles decorating the walls, a brightly lit stage made up of picnic benches and plywood floors, a small area for an equally small on stage orchestra, multicolored metallic fringe hanging from the ceiling, crock pots lining bench tables on stage left and right at which some audience members are sitting that the goal is to involve the audience members in a very contemporary rendering. This isn't why the farmer and the cowmen can't be friends. The essence of this production is Laurey having to choose between Curley and Jud Fry. Yes, having to choose! In all versions we have ever seen, this choice was made for us right at the burst of "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning." It's Curley, hands down.
While Jud is clearly a loner in those early days when Oklahoma was emerging from a small territory to statehood, today our Jud would be one of the 21st century misfits who 'merely' needs understanding to bring him into "society." So, in this adaptation Laurey, heavenly played by Rebecca Naomi Jones, is attracted to the brooding quiet Jud. She actually waivers in her choice!
When we sat down and opened our Playbill, we were disappointed to learn that Curley, the male lead, usually played by Damon Daunno, was to be played by his understudy Denver Milord. He more than rose to the occasion as not only did he exude that sexy American as apple pie good looks but he could belt out his songs with his guitar, finally winning over Laurey. But Laurey's infatuation with Jud is a hurdle for him, constantly perplexing and the end of the play is something unexpected. It is a road we have seen walked so many times in contemporary society, quick to judgment to exonerate the "good guy," which, as the last moving refrains of "O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A" ring out, leaves one bewildered.
Everything in the production is atypical, including the audience being served some delicious chili and cornbread during the intermission. The cast is small but the essential story lines are there, Will Parker played with wide-eyed innocence and gullibility by James Davis, declaring his love for Ado Annie, played by the exceptionally talented Ali Stroker with such hilarity and an ethereal voice that one hardly notices she is wheel chair bound, another hat tip to contemporary society. 'Ole Aunt Eller played by Mary Testa is the peacekeeper and Will Brill plays the flirtatious Ali Hakim, the peddler who will take what he can from Ado Annie as long as it doesn't involve marriage. Jud Fry is quietly, but achingly played by Patrick Vail. He originated the role of Jud while a student at Bard College.
Most emblematic of the departure of this Oklahoma! from the original is the dream ballet. The original, choreographed by Agnes DeMille is ethereal. Now it is one of boldness, parts of it performed in darkness, music dissonant and other parts filmed in real time as cinema verite and projected on the rear wall. Its vivid content was brilliantly translated by anther understudy in this particular production, Coral Dolphin, whose physicality, including cartwheels, took precedence over ballet. It is a modern dance of the 21st century.
In fact, that is what we came away with after these two groundbreaking musicals. These are our times, brutish and violent, frequently unfair, sometimes steeped in narcissism and eroticism, a kind of dystopian landscape captured by the remake of one of our most innocent musicals, and a movie brought to stage. But bravo to both as art marks the way and records our moment in time.

If you haven't yet seen it, start at part one of our exploration of Mickey's new Town Square digs. We'll going into more detail down below. For those who already saw it, welcome back and away we go.
Starting in the lobby, there is a great new 'mosaic' on the floor. The 1901 is a hidden reference to the year of Walt Disney's birth. Thankfully Disney has resisted the urge to use every square foot of the lobby for selling things. The lobby, as it stands now, has a good balance between the waiting area for Tony's restaurant, the photo shop, and the entrance to the meet and greet queues. The flow worked nicely.
If you look in the door of the queue to see how long the wait is, you'll get a pretty good feel for the Mickey Mouse queue. As I mentioned, it never grew over 10 minutes the Saturday we were there. But if you look to the back and see no queue for the princesses, keep in mind that there is an extra hidden room that hides a wait of up to 35 minutes (depending on Fastpass volume). I know the princesses are only in this location temporarily, but this blue room is worse than soulless, it's mind numbing. Can they at least bring in one or two monitors and some wall art like they had in the old location? Better yet, have a play area for the kids and a queue for the adults like at Pooh.
Once you get through this area, you may have an even longer wait in the single room for the Princesses. Which brings me to my other chief complaint about the Princess Meet and Greet. Because there is only one room for the Princesses (as far as I could tell), they only way to speed up the queue is to reduce the interaction time with each Princess. The day I went the queue was pretty small (never longer than 30 minutes) so the the Princesses were generous with their time. But I can see pressure turning this into a photo factory.
Will Mickey and Minnie Photo-Op say 'No' to Late Guests?
As you may have heard Mickey and Minnie are moving to a new meet and greet location in Town Square at the recently renamed, but not yet open, Town Square Theater. We posted recently about how this will be the first character meet and greet to feature a Fastpass option. There is still quite a bit of construction going on around the area, but rumors of exactly how the Fastpass system will work are beginning to circulate.

Korea to Save Power Through Smart Grid
By Kim Tong-hyung
Korea has unveiled an ambitious plan to be the world's first country to convert its electricity network into ``smart grids'' that will greatly contribute to energy conservation as well as the creation of jobs and new revenue.
The high-tech nationwide electricity grid will generate a new market of 68 trillion won (about $54.5 billion) and create 500,000 new jobs annually, and reduce the country's power consumption by 3 percent by the time it is completed in 2030, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said.
A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology, enabling the devices to communicate with the utility firms, which could save energy, reduce costs and increase reliability.
Many governments that are looking for ways to improve energy independence and combat global warming issues are considering these futuristic electricity networks.
Ministry officials met with business representatives and civilian experts at a forum in COEX, southern Seoul on Friday, to discuss the proposal for the national smart grid.
The attendees include industry heavyweights in electronics, telecommunications, energy, machinery and engineering, including Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, SK Telecom, LG Powercomm, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Heavy Industries, indicating a high level of interest.
``The energy saved through the smart grid power network will be equivalent to having seven extra 1,000-megawatt (MW) nuclear power generators,'' said a ministry official, who said a roadmap plan will be finalized by November.
``A smart grid network will also give consumers more choice, for example, enabling them to pay different rates for electricity used on computers and heating. We can also introduce different electricity rates for power generated from green technology such as wind and solar power generators.''
It's too early to say how Internet protocol (IP)-based electricity network will look, or how it will affect the lives of individuals at home. However, selected residents on Jeju Island may get the first glimpse of the technology, where KEPCO is planning the country's first smart grid test bed.
KEPCO is planning to build two 10MW substation transformers and four power distribution lines near an area that includes 3,000 households, commercial districts and power generation facilities to test smart grid technologies on real electricity networks. KEPCO will finish the blueprint of its 81 billion won plan by the end of the year and begin technological research starting next year.
Enabling utility firms an accurate view of energy use would reduce around 41 million tons in carbon emissions by maximizing the efficiency of electricity transmission, the ministry said, and also allow the country to save around $10 billion in energy imports.
And by putting ``advanced smart meters'' in every Korean home, thus establishing a network that enables energy companies to tell people when it is cheapest to use electricity, household electricity bills could be cut by around 15 percent.

Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim for a Hospital-Acquired Infection
Mellino Law Firm Sep 12, 2013
Following a Brigham and Women's Hospital study of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), Fox News reported on September 4, 2013, that HAIs affect between five and 10 percent of hospitalized patients each year, cause about 99,000 deaths each year, and cost $9.8 billion to treat each year. Surgical site infections of the skin, tissues, or organs account for 34 percent of that $9.8 billion, and, according to the CDC, "develop in about 1 to 3 of every 100 patients who have surgery." Bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, Clostidium difficile infection (C. diff), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) round out the five most common HAIs.
"These infections are almost all preventable," says the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID). "According to the CDC, at least half of hospital infections could be prevented if caregivers clean their hands immediately before touching patients."
Thus, doctors are supposed to:
wash their hands and forearms with an antiseptic prior to operating;
wash their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based product such as Purell both before and after caring for a patient; and
wear masks, gowns, gloves, and something to cover their hair during surgery.
Unfortunately, says RID, "Most hospitals tell doctors and nurses to clean their hands, yet doctors break this fundamental rule 52 percent of the time, on average."
Doctors are also supposed to:
use electric clippers rather than a razor to rid a patient of hair that may get in the way of a procedure;
clean the surgical site with germ-killing soap;
administer antibiotics; and
ensure that a patient understands everything that he or she will need to know in order to care for the wound until it heals.
While the burden of proof in malpractice cases falls on the plaintiff, "the plaintiff's attorney could argue that infection is evidence enough that the hospital breached its duty," says RID.
If you've contracted a hospital-acquired infection as the result of a treatment, procedure, surgery, or stay at a hospital, doctor's office, or other healthcare facility, an experienced medical malpractice attorney may be able to help you recover monetary damages to cover treatment, any further surgery that may be needed, and other medical expenses. You could also recover funds for lost wages from additional time you were forced to take away from work, pain and suffering, psychological trauma, and mental anguish.

Although nearly any story we share that has to do with Xanax withdrawal symptoms or Xanax detox is already almost guaranteed to not be an exciting or happy story, an incident out of Orange City that involves a man forcing a 10-year-old kid to take the addictive substance. What's even more telling about this person is that he was originally held up by the police due to driving under the influence, at which time the forced Xanax complaint came in from his girlfriend.
His reason for giving the young boy Xanax? He wanted the kid to "chill".
Alexandre Correa Da-Silva, 30, of Orlando, was driving recklessly in the 800 block of Volusia Avenue when Orange City police officers pulled him over and arrested him on suspicious of driving under the influence, police said.
While Da-Silva was arrested, police officers were also on Ohio Avenue investigating a complaint made by his girlfriend accusing Da-Silva of giving her son narcotics.


We are a IHR e.V. German registered breeder and our Yorkshire's are called "Biewer Yorkshire Terriers" in honor of Mr. & Mrs. Biewer and carry their founder prefix in the name, examples: BIRO-Birgit Rösner & Roberto Krah and Biewer-Gertrude & Werner Biewer, for the Golddust-Kristen Meyer-Sanchez is the founder and Sharon Brown introduced the Golddust to the US and the most recent, is the Ocean Pearl that was discovered in Europe, though the founder is unknown. Each one of these breeders wanted to have their dogs established and thru their dedication and breeding efforts these dogs were named after their founders.
Where did the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier come from?
In the 1970's Mr. Biewer purchased a lot of dogs from the Streamglen Kennel in Germany and Streamglen Richard born 10/06/1972 and Streamglen Flora were two of them. Streamglen Richard was a consistent championship show winner and most of Mr. Biewer's dogs were bred from Streamglen Richard, which is the foundation of what is known as the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon.
In order to get the Tri-color (three colors), a recessive piebald gene was present in both dogs, combined making this a dominant gene. Mr. Biewer's first tricolored Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was born from two traditional (blue and tan) champion Yorkshire Terrier's.
It was in Hunsruck, Germany in 1975, a man named, Werner Biewer purchased a Champion Yorkshire Terrier from Streamglen Kennels, "Streamglen Richard". Werner and his wife Gertrude had been raising and showing Yorkshire terriers for 20 years and Mr. Biewer wanted to make his mark by producing Champion status Yorkshire Terrier's.
Through selective breeding over the next several years, the couple continued to produce the signature headpiece with all three colors, black-white-gold with good symmetry. Their belly, chest, legs and tip of the tail were characteristically white and their hair was straight, silky and long. In the beginning of their breeding practices, the Biewer's would dock the tails of these dogs just as they had done for years with their Yorkshire's and it wasn't until May of 1998 when Germany passed a law prohibiting the docking of tails, when the Biewer's left the tails natural. Mr. Werner discovered as some of their tri-colored dogs matured the black color in the coat would turn to a dark blue. Two Biewer Yorkshire Terrier parents will always produce Biewer puppies.
Mr. Biewer wanted to show his new found tricolored dogs and first introduced his tricolored dogs to the show ring in March of 1988 at Wiesbaden, Germany. He presented two dogs and called them black and white Yorkshire Terriers to, Verband fur das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH), only to be denied acceptance and told they "were wrong color" and "not for breeding." Mr. Biewer was not happy with that decision and went in search for a Club that would accept his tricolored dogs.
It was while at a dinner party with a close friend of theirs, a singer by the name, Margot Eskens and her husband. Mr. Esken presented Margot with one of Werner Biewer's tricolored puppies on a silver platter and in Mrs. Esken's delight she shouted out, "a la Pom Pon" (French) describing the puppy as looking like a "ball of colorful yarn," (translated to English) which described the puppy perfectly. Mr. and Mrs. Biewer liked Margot's description so much that they decided to name their tricolored dogs, "Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon's".
Sometime in (1989) Mr. Biewer found a club, the first club, Allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde Deutschland e.V (ACH), to accept his tricolored dogs as a variation of the Yorkshire terrier but with a different standard then the Yorkshire. By doing this, what Werner Biewer did was get his tricolored dogs to be acknowledged as "a new distinct breed". So, Mr. and Mrs. Biewer drew up a very limited standard for these little dogs and officially registered them as "Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon" to be a color of white-blue-gold.
*It was recorded that the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was acknowledged as a new distinctive separate breed in Germany in 1989* Why have I highlighted this information you might ask?I have highlighted this important date because: If and when a breed is already acknowledged then that breed should be acknowledged World Wide! Meaning: the "Biewer" was already acknowledged as a separate breed from the Yorkshire Terrier by Mr. and Mrs. Werner Biewer by introducing their dog as a variation of the Yorkshire Terrier with a "NEW Breed Standard" in 1989 in Germany. So, because of that very historical fact, then there is only one "Biewer" and that name goes to the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier!
Other breeders were intrigued with the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon and began breeding them as well. Mr. and Mrs. Biewer kept a tight reign on the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon breeding programs in Germany and their quality-bred dogs were hard to come by and quite costly to acquire. But, then in 1997 Mr. Biewer passed away and sadly after Werner's death, Gertrude kept just a few of their Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon's as pets and their Friedheck Kennel ceased to exist.
After Werner's untimely death, many breeders started their own attempts to create the perfect Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon and we will never know what breeds were bred to create the Biewer outside of: Mr. & Mrs. Biewer's Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon's and by the year 2000 the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon had lost its popularity in Germany, with the number of breeders had dwindled significantly.
Then on May 23, 2003 a dog fancier that knew Mr. and Mrs. Biewer by the name of Dagmar Pryzstaw opened the 1st Deutsche Biewer Club (IBYTC) and in September 2004 opened another Biewer Club, the International Biewer Club (IBC) in Germany.
On November 02, 2007, Gertrude Biewer changed the Standard of the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom-Pon by the recommendation of the German Club ACH to be called the "Biewer Yorkshire Terrier."
Then on October 10, 2012 after a lengthy illness Gertrude Biewer passed away and all that is left of Werner and Gertrude Biewer is a beautiful legacy, the "Biewer Yorkshire Terrier."
It has been said by some of the American Biewer Clubs that Mr. Biewer never bred back to the traditional Yorkie, which is a myth.
There are breeders of the "Biewer" that state they only breed Biewer to Biewer but, where the breed originated in Germany those breeders feel that they don't have enough lines of the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier breed, to only breed Biewer to Biewer, and they breed back to the Yorkshire Terrier to further and continue to strengthen the breed. So, if the Germans, where this Biewer Yorkshire Terrier originated from feel they don't have enough lines then, "How do American breeders feel they have enough lines?" The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier has only been in existence since 1984.
The "Biewer" has been quite the most debated breed so far in history to come and if you google Biewer you will find they have different acronyms, Biewer, Biewer Yorkshire Terrier, Biewer Terrier, Biewer Breed etc., not to mention even differentiated accounts on how this Yorkshire Terrier now considered a separate breed originated. But, one thing is certain: the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier originated in Germany and the Parti Yorkshire Terrier originated in America.
The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier is recognized here in the US with the CKC, BBGC, BBIR, ACA and with the AKC as a Parti Yorkshire Terrier and in Germany the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier is recognized with the IHR e.V., IBC, ACH e.V., NHC, and ACH-L.
