WASHINGTON — Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on her first day on the job as a congresswoman, posted a list of firsts that her class represents.
Among them, naturally enough, is what she and her colleague, Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., represent — the first Muslim women elected to Congress. But there's a glaring error: Omar, who was born in Somalia, lists herself as the first refugee elected to the body.
Seffi Kogen, the Global Director of Young Leadership for the American Jewish Committee, counts at least four other lawmakers who in their lifetimes had refugee status, and two of them are Jewish:
* The late Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., a Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor who made human rights a hallmark of his leadership on the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.
* Former Sen. Rudy Boschwitz, R-Minn., who as a toddler fled Nazi Germany with his family for the United States and who also has played a prominent role in human rights advocacy.
* Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., just retired, who is of Jewish descent, arrived in Florida as a child of a family fleeing Cuba.
* Rep. Joseph Cao, R-La., the first Vietnamese American elected to Congress, served one term (2009-2011).
I'd add former Republican Florida Rep. Lincoln Díaz-Balart, also born in Cuba to a family who fled after Fidel Castro seized power.
Two more errors on Omar's list: Tlaib, whom she lists as the first Palestinian American; is preceded by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., and former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is the youngest woman ever elected, at 29, but there have been plenty of younger men, starting with Richard Bland Lee, who was 28 when he joined the First Congress in 1789.

Adap.tv Launches Programmatic TV Buying Platform, Magna Global Already On Board
by Tyler Loechner @mp_tyler, March 3, 2014
AOL's Adap.tv had already announced that the piping was in place for programmatic TV buying, but as of September 2013 their offering was still being polished.
Now, nearly six months later, the company is moving forward with its programmatic TV buying product, and it already has a major media agency on board.
Magna Global, part of IPG Mediabrands, has already run digital and TV campaigns through Adap.tv's buying platform. Official testing of the TV buying platform began in Q4 2013.
It's not surprising that Magna is already on board -- the company has been aggressive in its adoption of programmatic buying, and IPG is still looking to automate 50% of all of its buys.
Adap.tv has spent the past six months applying the TV buying offering into its existing platform, applying more data sets, and striking inventory partnerships.
At launch, the company claims its Adap.tv Marketplace will have TV inventory available from nearly 100 cable networks with the potential to reach over 90 million U.S. TV households.
As far as data partnerships go, Adap.tv has cozied up with some big names in Nielsen and Rentrak. The new programmatic TV offering will use Nielsen's panel-based audience measurements, Rentrak's set-top-box viewing data and consumer purchase behavior data.
Dan Ackerman, the company's SVP of programmatic TV, spoke with RTM Daily about the launch. He said the ability to reach a potential 90 million U.S. TV households puts the Adap.tv Marketplace up there with the top-30 networks in terms of scale and distribution. However, Ackerman was careful to note that Adap.tv is not looking to become an ad network and still views itself as a technology platform. He referred to the new offering as a "demand-side platform (DSP) for TV."
Magna Global is not the only agency unit already using the programmatic TV platform, but it's the only named client at this point. In terms of ad spend, Ackerman could not reveal specifics, instead citing "industry numbers" that suggest current programmatic TV campaigns are in the low six-figure range, with some moving into seven figures.
"These are smaller deals compared to the multi-seven-figure deals elsewhere in TV, and we see huge upside there," he said. "The upside is not only in the size of the deals but also in the frequency and the volume. Some agencies and clients are very progressive, while others are moving into it a bit more slowly."
Adap.tv's offering is programmatic in the sense that it automates large data sets -- such as first-party data and the Nielsen and Rentrak data -- and running that data against campaign objectives. To be clear, there is no real-time bidding (RTB) taking place.
However, Ackerman claimed Adap.tv's offering is capable of going "end-to-end" with the automation: from planning, to buying, and reporting back. He noted some private marketplaces are forming, and that "there's much more direct" contact between buyers and sellers to establish pricing and inventory specific to that relationship.
Essentially, advertisers will put TV campaign objectives -- and any first-party data they have -- into the Adap.tv platform. The platform will then automatically suggest where the campaign should run, how much it would cost, etc.
On the publisher side, Ackerman said publishers lose no control. "It's not an auction model," he reaffirmed. "There's a finite amount of inventory (in TV). The publishers still control pricing, whether they take a deal or not, etc. It's their inventory. This provides an incremental demand channel for them."

Whether you're in your twenties yourself or you are raising kids, it's important to instill good fitness habits at this age as they will greatly improve chances of being healthy and fit later on in life. This sounds logical, but it is also based on research, where early twenty somethings were studied, and the ones who practiced good fitness habits were healthier later on in life. It doesn't require that you go to the gym seven days a week, it just requires that you create a lifestyle that incorporates a few habits suggested by accredited fitness experts.
Both before and after you lift, run, jog, swim or do aerobics, you should stretch for three to five minutes. Stretch slowly, and breathe through the stretches.
This will give you strength, relieve stress and protect you from getting diabetes.
This often happens with runners. You have to switch it up. Run some days, walk, jog or power walk other days, and hike swim or go to the gym in between.
Caffeinated beverages don't count. A fun strategy is to try having a glass of water every time you visit one of your social sites except you might end up drinking too much water. The goal is eight tall glasses of water a day.
If you don't, then you won't get the full benefit of your workout, and you could injure yourself.
Here it goes. You have just been handed a ticket to shop for and own multiple pairs of shoes. Why? Because it's actual beneficial to your feet, ankles, and legs to rotate between your running shoes as long as they are all high quality shoes created for running. This is based on studies, where those who rotated shoes experienced less injuries related to running. So go out and shop for shoes that go with your running outfits or track suits.
This is important to insure you have energy to function and that your muscles can fully benefit from the workout you just gave them. Your snack should include healthy sources of carbs and protein, such as a banana and a glass of milk or a handful of raisins and peanuts in their skins or a glass of low-fat chocolate milk.
This will do one or two things. For one, you won't get bored. If you have ever gone to a certain fitness class for a while, and it got to a point where half way through the class you just weren't looking forward to the next thirty minutes, then rotating classes will keep you engaged and on your toes. Also, after checking out all of the different classes, you may just find a couple that you get hooked on, and these can ensure you stay in shape for the rest of your life.
Look at fitting your fitness routine in just like making sure you eat a balanced meal. In fact, if you go out once or twice a week for dinner or lunch, set it up so that you workout, shower and get dressed up for your dine out. On other days, you can set it up so that you meet with friends to do something physically exerting such as hiking, working out at the gym or going swimming. However, and this really should have its own paragraph, one of the most important fitness habits is that you don't wait for others to exercise, always plan to exercise by yourself, and if your friends join you, then consider it as an added bonus.
Maintain your posture through a few yoga poses while stretching or a pilates routine a few days a week.
On these days, you can do something totally different like walking when you spent the day before doing aerobics or weight training. Swimming is another thing you can do on a day when you don't go to the gym or go hiking.
Always pay attention to new exercises and activities you start and stop and what your daily diet consists of. This will make it easier to pinpoint changes in how you feel or why you have gained or lost weight.


Hey I say bravo for your tenacity and sheer unflinching desire to own it! Fab! I've also come to the conclusion that I will never own an urban decay tim burton palette. So I know your pain!
That's fabulous on you, Mags! & the red lip? Wowza!

Will Euro 2020 be Postponed Due to the Coronavirus Outbreak?
As the coronavirus outbreak causes chaos across Europe, UEFA has a major decision to make over whether it can go ahead with the upcoming European Championship as planned.
European football's governing body will hold a crisis meeting next Tuesday to discuss the way forward for all domestic and European competitions, as well as Euro 2020, which is due to take place from June 12 to July 12 in 12 different countries across the continent.
– What does UEFA envisage? –
Last week, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin played down fears that Euro 2020 may have to be postponed when he spoke after the organisation's congress in Amsterdam.
"We are dealing with it and we are confident we can deal with it," Ceferin said before calling on organizers to "not just think about dark scenarios, there will be time for that later."
However, the extent to which the scenario has worsened over the last week means that now is already the time to think about it.
With cases rising throughout Europe, Italy in total lockdown, countries beginning to impose travel bans and the World Health Organisation labeling the outbreak a pandemic, the possibility of Euro 2020 being postponed is growing.
According to a source close to UEFA, everything will be on the table at next Tuesday's meeting, from postponement of the Euro and changing the format to looking at changing the venues.
"UEFA is going to be obliged to suspend European competitions. And in order to make finishing them possible, they will have to postpone the Euro," the president of one French club told AFP.
"It is a reasonable scenario when you see that players are starting to be affected," he added, after Italian champions Juventus confirmed on Wednesday that their defender Daniele Rugani had tested positive for coronavirus.
One source at a European broadcaster, who requested anonymity, said that UEFA "could first make a decision about the Champions League, which is more urgent, and then decide about the Euro."
– Could they insist on going ahead as planned? –
The unprecedented decision to stage the European Championship in 12 nations across the continent could complicate things.
"For the first time we have the possibility of several countries being obliged to apply quarantine measures or restrict the movement of people," said Jacques Lambert, head of the organizing committee for Euro 2016, which was held in France.
"We cannot know clearly and definitively which host countries will be impacted most heavily."
Matches are due to be played from as far apart as Bilbao and Dublin to Saint Petersburg and Baku.
The difficulty in foreseeing what restrictions will be placed upon travel over the next three months means UEFA could consider going ahead with the tournament, but playing games behind closed doors. That solution could satisfy broadcasters.
However, the situation is complicated because the pandemic is currently affecting host countries in different ways.
While Rome, which is due to host the opening game on June 12, is presently in lockdown along with the rest of Italy, life is going on more or less as normal in London.
Wembley is due to host seven games, including both semi-finals and the final.
"We will continue to follow Government advice and no special measures have been proposed at this stage," an English FA spokesman told AFP.
– How quickly do they need to act? –
UEFA risks being left with not enough space to complete fixtures in its club competitions, with the added complication of certain countries having postponed domestic matches at least until the end of March, as is the case in Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.
As it stands, the Champions League final is scheduled to be played in Istanbul on May 30, just 13 days before Euro 2020 starts.
They may be left with little choice but to push back the final stages of the Champions League, therefore meaning the European Championship has to be postponed.
In any case, it is currently unclear if all 24 qualified nations for the Euro will be known in time.
The final four qualifying berths are due to be decided in play-off semi-finals and finals scheduled for the end of this month, but in the current situation it is hard to see how all of those matches will be completed on time.
A friendly between the Netherlands and Spain, scheduled for March 29 in Amsterdam, has been postponed and more upcoming internationals are likely to follow, due to the knock-on effects of the virus, quarantines and population lockdowns.

Mississippi Gov Ignores White House, Appoints Democrat Turned Republican to Replace Sen. Cochran
Michelle Moons
21 Mar 2018 Washington, DC
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant appointed recent Democrat turned Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith on Wednesday to replace retiring U.S. Senator Thad Cochran over the Republican candidate in the race to replace him.
Bryant chose Hyde-Smith despite a Tuesday call from White House officials who warned the Mississippi governor that President Donald Trump would not campaign or endorse her in the November special election, according to Politico. Two White House aides with knowledge of the call said one of the primary reasons cited was that her former Democrat status would lead to a loss in that election.
Republican state senator Chris McDaniel was the only Republican in the race until Bryant tapped Hyde-Smith.
McDaniel warned Breitbart News Sunday radio listeners and the governor just days ago that if the governor made an appointment, it could cause an unnecessary Republican bloodbath leading up to the November special election. He recounted his past work with the governor as well as the governor's recent trip to Washington, DC, for the State of the Union address. According to McDaniel, Bryant met with Senate Leader Mitch McConnell during the trip, after which the governor told McDaniel that he would not be appointing him to the seat. McDaniel was confident that the decision came from McConnell.
After news broke of Bryant's appointment, McDaniel again charged the governor with following "the orders of the Washington establishment's Mitch McConnell" in appointing Hyde-Smith.
Hyde-Smith served as a Democrat in Mississippi in the state Senate starting in 2000, but she switched to the Republican Party in 2010 before leaving her seat in January 2012. She chaired the legislative body's Agriculture committee starting in 2004. She took up the position of Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce the day that she left the State Senate.
"Knowing the establishment's opposition to conservatives, it was not at all surprising that they would choose a former Democrat," said McDaniel. He pointed to the November election where he said Mississippians will get to "choose from among the Democratic candidates or they can vote for a lifelong conservative Republican."
"The establishment should have learned their lesson in Alabama. By spending millions of dollars against conservative Mo Brooks, they ended up losing the seat to a Democrat. Now, they are going to appoint one in Mississippi," he continued. "Instead of unifying around my candidacy, and beating the Democrats, the establishment is once again going to waste millions of dollars of donors' money over what should have been a safe Republican seat in Mississippi."
McDaniel charged that "the DC establishment would rather let a Democrat have the seat than let a conservative win."
Republicans have struggled to pass items on President Trump and Republicans' agenda with the extremely slim Republican majority in the U.S. Senate. Republicans currently hold just a one-vote majority, with a few of those Republicans killing some Republican bills with no votes.

Накш-и-Джахан (узб. Naqsh-i-Jahon; умер в 1418 году) — хан Моголистана в 1415—1418 годах.

Жизнь
Происходил из династии Чингизидов. Сын Шамс-и-Джагана, хана Моголистана. О дате рождения мало сведений. После смерти Мухаммад-хана с помощью эмиров тимуридского правителя Улугбека становится новым ханом Моголистана. Признал превосходство Улугбека, однако это признание было чисто формальным. Уже в 1415 году хан отправил посольства к минскому императору Чжу Ди по установлению союза, а также признал его превосходство. Император в 1416 году отправил собственное посольство к Накш-и-Джахану, подчеркивая его весомый статус.

Новый правитель отказался от крутой политики исламизации, введенной предшественником, позволив действовать буддистским проповедникам. В 1417 году вел переговоры относительно совместных действий против династии северная юань, ойратов и Тимуридов. Впрочем, в 1418 году в результате сговора Накш-и-Джахана был свергнут внуком Мухаммад-хана — Увайс-ханом, ставшим владыкой Моголистана.

This article is about Disney's online video game. For other uses with the name "Toontown", see Toontown.
Disney's Toontown Online, commonly known as Toontown Online or Toontown, was a 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on a cartoon animal world, developed by Disney's Virtual Reality Studio and Schell Games, published by the Walt Disney Company.
The Toontown Online online servers were shut down and/or merged over the years, with the final server to close being the United States (then merged with the United Kingdom) on September 19, 2013. A month before the closure, Disney released a statement that the company would be "shifting its focus to other online and mobile play experiences, such as Club Penguin and a growing selection of mobile apps."
Players could create characters called "Toons". Players were able to customize their Toons in various shapes, colors, clothes and sizes, as well as their species, with choices consisting of cats, dogs, ducks, mice, pigs, rabbits, bears, horses and monkeys.
"Cogs" were the antagonists in-game, stylized to be corporate robots that wanted to take over the town to propagate business culture. Cogs came in four types: brown-clad Bossbots, blue-clad Lawbots, green-clad Cashbots, and maroon-clad Sellbots, each with increasing levels throughout the game that increased their health and damage.
Toons began with basic 'Gags' and a 15-point 'Laff' meter and have a maximum of 137 point laff meter at the end of the game. Gags, rooted in old cartoon slapstick humor, were weapons used to destroy the Cogs in Cog battles. Each 'gag track' had Gags with different properties that could be unlocked by completing 'Toontasks', and each gag track would get progressively more powerful as 'toons' used their gags more. The Laff meter functioned as health meter, representing how much damage toons could take from the Cogs before going 'sad' – in-game defeat. Cogs were battled using a timed turn-based combat system with up to four Toons in a battle. Cogs could be fought on the streets of the game, in 'Cog buildings', or in their own designated 'Cog HQ', with each Cog HQ having their own designated bosses, which could be fought by obtaining a full set of their designated Cog disguise outfit. These include the VP (Vice-President, Sellbot HQ), CFO (Chief Financial Officer, Cashbot HQ) CJ (Chief Justice, Lawbot HQ), and CEO (Chief Executive Officer, Bossbot HQ).
A Toon in Toontown Central, the first playground available in-game.
Playgrounds were the only areas of Toontown permanently safe from Cogs. In the playgrounds, Toons could regain lost Laff Points, receive or complete ToonTasks unique to each playground, purchase gags, play trolley games, go fishing, kart racing or golfing. By completing ToonTasks, Toons would grow in strength through additional Laff Points or new Gags. Laff Point increases were also available through fishing, racing and golfing challenges. There was a playground in each neighborhood of Toontown. Each playground featured one of Disney's classic animated characters as a non-player character. These playgrounds consisted of the following main playgrounds: Toontown Central, Daisy Gardens, Donald's Dock, Minnie's Melodyland, The Brrrgh, Donald's Dreamland and extra playgrounds including: Goofy's Speedway, and Chip & Dale's Acorn Acres.
Every Toontown Online account came with a player's estate. Each estate consisted of a fishing pond and six houses for each Toon on the player's account. Players could customize their Toon's appearance and house with objects ordered from the in-game catalog by using jellybeans, the in-game currency. Wardrobes held clothing and accessories that were not currently being worn. Other elements of estates included Doodles (pets), gardening, fishing, cannons and play tables, which featured playable Chinese checkers, checkers and Connect Four.
Toontown Online was marketed and developed towards all ages, which is why a chat restriction was placed on the game. Players could only chat using "SpeedChat", a list of pre-approved phrases set by Disney that the player could select. It included general English phrases, in-game strategy phrases, and, occasionally, seasonal phrases. Players could purchase more SpeedChat phrases using, most of the time, 100 jellybeans. "SpeedChat Plus" and "Secret Friends", later renamed to "True Friends", were introduced some time after the game's release, which had to be enabled using a parental account if the player was under 13 years of age. SpeedChat Plus allowed the player to type their own messages against a word filter developed by Disney; if a word was not allowed, it was replaced with an onomatopoeia of that player's Toon's species. True Friends allowed players to chat with a less-restrictive filter with certain friends who have shared a "True Friend code" with each other.
Parties were hostable, plannable and customizable events by Toons. Toons would use their stored jellybeans in their bank to customize and add content to their parties, such as fireworks, minigames (Tug 'O War, etc.), trampolines, party cannons, etc. To plan a party, Toons would go to a Toon Party Planner. Toons could also customize their own invitations to these parties. These parties would last about 30 minutes.
Platform Publishing, a subsidiary company of Sony Online Entertainment that publishes games for third-party developers, announced on August 25, 2005 it had acquired rights to publish a CD version of Toontown Online for the PC and bring the game to online game consoles. Toontown Online became available on CD for the PC on October 3, 2005. This allowed players to play the game without downloading it onto their storage devices. This version came in a box set with two months of subscription, a poster, a game manual, and an in-game bonus. Toontown Online chose to create a CD that could be purchased in stores, due to customer insecurity when downloading and buying things online that they could not physically hold.
On August 20, 2013, Disney announced that after 10 years of operation, Disney's Toontown Online was being shut down permanently on September 19, 2013. Subsequently, every player was given membership for the remaining time of the game. Seasonal and holiday celebrations and special in-game events took place in the time remaining. Recurring paid memberships were automatically cancelled, memberships could no longer be purchased and accounts could no longer be created. The website was also updated with a closing FAQ. The main Toontown Online website was not due for closure until another year. The game remained open for a month after the announcement, finally closing on the set date, September 19, 2013, at 11:59 A.M. Pacific Standard Time. After the game's closure, Toontown's website was updated with a new FAQ to help with billing support and inform users about the game's closure. Toontown's site, toontown.go.com, now redirects to Disney's main site, disney.com. In response to the closure, former players have created multiple private servers of Toontown Online. The most popular server, Toontown Rewritten, is described by its developers as "a fan-made revival of Disney's Toontown Online, created using publicly available downloads and information made freely available to the general public."
In June 2015, Jesse Schell hinted that Toontown Online closed due to becoming unsustainable in its business model (subscription-based downloadable RPG). Schell confirmed that Disney wants to be able to port the game to mobile devices but are waiting for a working business model for self-sustaining, constantly-updating mobile RPGs. Schell also stated that the company has hosted internal meetings discussing the future of the game, taking the popularity of mobile games and the payment options available on that platform into consideration for planning the next step for the Toontown license. A solution has yet to be agreed upon, but according to Schell, these internal meetings continued into 2016.
Not to be confused with Walt Disney's Hometown Toonfest held annually in Marceline, Missouri.
Disney organized two real-life gatherings for Toontown fans called ToonFest. ToonFest included themed activities and games, trivia and costume contests, previews of upcoming features for the game, and developer Q&A panels. The first gathering, ToonFest 2006, was held at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California, while ToonFest 2007 was held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
Toontown Online received "favorable reviews". The game has won several awards.
The game was mentioned on a January 2002 comic strip of Penny Arcade, in which the side character, Gabe admits to really enjoy the game.
The Cogs, the main antagonists of Toontown Online, are referenced by Gyro Gearloose on a pad of paper in the new DuckTales reboot. It is unknown if Toontown is officially canon to the reboot due to nothing being said by the crew or producers just yet.

Schwarzwaldmädel (manchmal heißt es auch Das Schwarzwaldmädel) ist eine Operette in drei Akten von Leon Jessel. Das Libretto verfasste August Neidhart. Die Uraufführung fand am 25. August 1917 in der Alten Komischen Oper Berlin in Berlin statt.

Orchester
Zwei Flöten (2. auch Pikkolo), zwei Oboen, zwei Klarinetten, zwei Fagotte, vier Hörner, zwei Trompeten, drei Posaunen, eine Harfe, eine Celesta, Schlagzeug und Streicher

Handlung
Die Operette spielt in dem fiktiven Dorf "Sankt Christof" im württembergischen Teil des Schwarzwaldes um 1917 (der Klavierauszug von 1917 bietet die Angabe "gegenwärtig").

Erster Akt

Im Musikzimmer des Domkapellmeisters

Malwine von Hainau ist nicht nur mannstoll, sondern auch sehr eifersüchtig. Weil sich ihr derzeitiger Schwarm Hans aber von ihr genervt fühlt, gönnt er sich von ihr eine Auszeit und fährt mit seinem Freund Richard in den Schwarzwald. Beide hoffen, dort ein wenig Ruhe zu finden. Sie landen im Dorf Sankt Christof. Obwohl der Ort nur ein kleiner Flecken ist, gibt es dort – man staune! – eine riesige Domkirche.

Als die beiden Sankt Christof erreichen, sind die Vorbereitungen zum Cäcilienfest im vollen Gange. Obwohl der Domkapellmeister dabei besonders stark gefordert ist, vermietet er trotzdem noch Gästezimmer. Er sitzt gerade in seinem Arbeitszimmer und klimpert ein bisschen auf dem Klavier, als es an die Tür klopft. Zwei junge Männer – es sind natürlich Hans und Richard – treten ein, geben sich als Wandermusikanten aus und begehren ein Nachtquartier.

Der Domkapellmeister freut sich über die Abwechslung. Er unterhält sich glänzend mit den Fremden. Bald darauf klopft es erneut, und Malwine von Hainau betritt den Raum. Sie hat nämlich herausbekommen, wohin sich ihr Geliebter zurückgezogen hat. Jetzt hofft sie, ihn in dem schönen Schwarzwalddorf umstimmen zu können. Gleich wird ihr aber klar, dass sich Hans jetzt zu dem jungen Schwarzwaldmädel hingezogen fühlt, das in dem Haus beschäftigt ist. Wer aber geglaubt hat, sie ließe nun wieder ihrer Eifersucht freien Lauf, irrt sich. Schließlich ist ja noch ein weiterer junger Mann im Haus, nach dem sie ihre Fühler ausstrecken kann: Richard!

Schwärmerische Gedanken befallen auch Blasius Römer, den Domkapellmeister. Obwohl er eigentlich fast schon das Pensionsalter erreicht hat, fühlt er sich wie im zweiten Frühling. Er hat sich heimlich in seine junge Haushaltshilfe Bärbele verliebt. Schon verschiedene Male hatte er den Entschluss gefasst, sie zu fragen, ob sie ihn heiraten werde, aber immer, wenn es ernst wurde, traute er sich dann doch nicht. Bärbele hat ihn zwar gern und küsst ihn hin und wieder flüchtig auf die Wange, aber dies ist eher so zu verstehen, als ob eine Tochter ihrem Vater ein Küsschen gibt.

Zweiter Akt

Im Hof des "Blauen Ochsen" am Tag des Cäcilienfestes

Nach dem Festgottesdienst trifft sich das ganze Dorf im Hof des "Blauen Ochsen". Musikanten spielen zum Tanz auf. Es wird viel gelacht und manchmal auch gestritten. Auch ein Tourist aus Berlin feiert mit. Er hat eine große Klappe und nervt die einheimischen Dorfbewohner.

Das Gerücht breitet sich aus, der alte Römer wolle noch heute seiner Haushaltshilfe einen Heiratsantrag machen. Die alte Traudl – eine Frau, die von vielen im Dorf gehänselt wird – geht auf den Domkapellmeister zu und sagt ihm offen ins Gesicht, er solle bloß keine Dummheit begehen. Doch darüber kann der alte Römer nur lachen. Es vergehen aber nur wenige Minuten, da bleibt ihm das Lachen im Halse stecken, als er sieht, wie "sein" liebes Bärbele mit dem hergelaufenen "Wandermusikanten" flirtet.

Die Kapelle bittet um Ruhe und kündigt als nächsten Tanz die Cäcilienpolka an. Nach alter Sitte herrscht dabei Damenwahl. Bärbele entscheidet sich für den alten Römer; aber ein Tanz ist mit der Würde seines kirchlichen Amtes nicht vereinbar. Deshalb gibt er Bärbele einen Korb. Ein paar junge Burschen, denen dieser Affront nicht entgangen ist, beginnen Bärbele zu verspotten. Als sie dann auch noch als Hexe bezeichnet wird, kann sich Hans nicht mehr zurückhalten. Wütend geht er auf einen der Männer zu und löst damit eine riesige Schlägerei aus. Der Wirt des "Blauen Ochsen" muss seine ganze Kraft aufwenden, um wenigstens einigermaßen die Ruhe wiederherzustellen.

Dritter Akt

Im Wirtshaus am Tag danach

Der Bürgermeister von Sankt Christof will unbedingt herausbekommen, wer gestern die Schlägerei begonnen hat, aber all seine Versuche, das Rätsel zu lösen, scheitern. Am Ende hat er lediglich erfahren, dass sich Malwine von Hainau mit Richard verlobt hat.

Bärbele bekommt eine schlechte und eine gute Nachricht gleichzeitig: Sie erfährt, dass ihr Vater verstorben ist und ihr ein großes Vermögen hinterlassen hat. Als diese Kunde auch den alten Römer erreicht, kommt er endlich zur Einsicht: Würde er jetzt immer noch um Bärbele werben, hieße es im ganzen Dorf, er sei ein Mitgiftjäger.

Bärbele offenbart dem Domkapellmeister, dass sie in Hans den Mann fürs Leben gefunden habe und mit ihm in die Stadt ziehen werde. Diese Nachricht stimmt den Domkapellmeister tief traurig. Als holde Trösterin bleibt ihm jetzt nur noch seine Kirchenmusik.

Es handelt sich mehr um ein Singspiel als um eine Operette. Folgende Musiknummern gehen aus dem Klavierauszug hervor:

 Nr. 2 Quintett (Bärbele, Hannele, Römer, Hans, Richard): Wir sind auf der Walz
 Nr. 3 Terzett (Hans, Richard, Römer): Die Weibsleut, die sind eine Brut
 Nr. 4 Duett (Malwine, Richard): Lockende Augen holder Sirenen
 Nr. 5 Duett (Lorle, Theobald): Das Glück kehrt niemals bei uns ein
 Nr. 6 Finale I (Malwine, Hans, Bärbele, Römer)

Zweiter Akt

 Nr. 13 Marschterzett (Malwine, Richard, Schmusheim): Es kann ein Bub sein
 Nr. 14 Schlußgesang (Bärbele, Hans, Römer): Erklingen zum Tanze die Geigen

Aufführungen
Von der Uraufführung im Jahr 1917 bis zum Verbot der Aufführung im Jahr 1933 in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde die Operette über 6000 Mal gespielt. Da sie auch unter den Nationalsozialisten bis zu Himmler und Hitler Freunde hatte, durfte sie noch bis 1937 aufgeführt werden. Nach 1945 wurde sie durch Verfilmungen wieder bekannt. Die Hauptrollen in der Uraufführung spielten Gustav Charlé (Domkapellmeister Blasius Römer) und Steffi Walidt ("Bärbele"). Im Sommer 2019 erlebt das Stück in der Schweiz, bei den Freilichtspielen Moosegg, eine Wiederaufführung in einer überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Fassung.

Verfilmung
Schwarzwaldmädel wurde 1920 von Arthur Wellin als Stummfilm verfilmt. Weitere frühere Verfilmungen der Operette war Victor Jansons 1929 erschienener Film Schwarzwaldmädel sowie Georg Zochs Version aus dem Jahr 1933, die ebenfalls unter dem Titel der Operette erschien.

Im Jahr 1950 wurde die Operette unter der Regie von Hans Deppe ebenfalls als Schwarzwaldmädel verfilmt. Das Hauptgerüst der Handlung wurde beibehalten und lediglich in den Nebensträngen verändert.

Eine erste Fernsehadaption, die den Inhalt entscheidend änderte, entstand 1961 (Schwarzwaldmädel (1961)). Eine zweite Fernsehbearbeitung, die sich eng an das Original hielt, folgte 1973 (Schwarzwaldmädel (1973)).

Trivia
Jessel vererbte der Jugend- und Familienhilfe des Bezirksamts Wilmersdorf von Berlin Stiftungsmittel.

Unless you're rooming with someone you already know, a college roommate can be a wild card. For many, this is the first time that they are sharing their living space for an extended period of time. As a result, tensions can run high if you aren't careful, dragging down both your mood and possibly even your GPA. In order to maintain a good relationship with your roommate and avoid explosions in your dorm room, try some of the following tips.
Communicate, communicate, and communicate! Passive aggressiveness gets you nowhere. Try to address problems when they are small, and in an open, non-confrontational manner. In addition, a little occasional compromising goes a long way.
Have a fun shared activity. It can be something short and sweet. Some simple ideas would include going out to eat, participating in a club or even just going to the gym.
Take breaks from each other. Even the best of friends need to separate occasionally. It's healthy for both of you to have other friends and interests. The last thing you want is to give off the impression of being an impenetrable duo.
Don't try to force it. Sometimes your roommate may end up being your best friend. On the other hand, clicking on a higher level than "roommate", may just not be in the deck of cards. Maybe you two don't have similar interests or personalities that qualify each other as friendship material. Just because you were randomly paired up, doesn't mean you have to like each other to the point of friendship. If that's the case, don't worry! Being courteous is a must, but friendship is not something that can be forced. If you let resentments fester and don't really speak into how you feel, you plant the seed to a toxic relationship, that will one day blow up. Nothing is more awkward than living with someone you're not speaking with!
I think no matter what, two people living in a shoe box are never going to get along! But what helps is getting out of that room! Encourage your roommate to go for a walk, go grab a coffee, go to the movies, go to the gym, etc. and that should help you and your roommate to not constantly fight and enjoy the little things in life! you are going to college! living together is only temporary, your not in a prison cell for crying out loud!
I have been a good student, exceptionally well at track & field namely pole vaulting. I'm excited about starting my college education, though I'm in great need of financial help of any kind.


Summer is my favourite time of year. I love the style, and I love the weather. It's the best time of year for us style and fashion bloggers because the days are great for taking photos in the sunshine, and showing off all our best outfits.
It seems like anything goes in summer too but this year I'm particularly loving two trends. I really love the 70's festival vibe going on with tile and Japanese prints, fringing and wide legs. And I also love the monochrome and navy trend with lovely black on white stripes. They are two very different trends, but I like having the choice of styling a smarter monochrome outfit with flashes of blue, or a having a more casual festival feel to a look.
I also really like yellow and orange this year. But like bright yellow, and bright orange. I'm not the only one right?
Everything looks so wonderfully floaty, oh I do love a good summer haul!
That blue dress from Miss Selfridge was also on my recent wishlist, i love it! Also loving the jewellery and the kimono!
It's such a pretty dress though isn't it?

In the first basic guitar chord progressions lesson we looked at playing simple major key progressions using those basic open chords down at the first few frets.
Minor key chord progressions are based around the same concept - a tonic or "home" chord, a journey away from home (the progression), followed by a resolution (the return home). With minor key songs, however, this tonic chord is... minor.
Just as in the first part we looked at some natural relationships that help define a major key chord progression, let's do the same for minor key progressions.
As we're using a minor tonic, the numeral to represent this will be a lower case i as opposed to the major I.
So each of these is effectively the same relationship (the same chord intervals), just with different tonic chords. It is these tonic minor chords that allow us to create songs "in the key of __ minor".
Just like the major key I - IV relationship we looked at in part 1, its minor equivalent has been used in music for centuries and is part of the diatonic scale. It can be used as part of your songs when you need it. Get to know its sound.
Another important minor key relationship... the i v, although the minor v chord is commonly replaced by a major V chord as this gives it more harmonic weight when resolving back to the minor tonic.
We'll be looking at other ways you can enhance and modify these relationships in later lessons.
So you can hear how these relationships form very natural sounding progressions, reinforcing that minor key sound with whichever minor tonic we use.
Now we know the basic relationships that make up major and minor keys, we can create both major and minor tonic resolutions in the same song, if we wish. It's sort of like a key change, but not strictly, because we're still within the same diatonic key. It's known as relative key.
See, if you identify a major tonic, its relative minor key will be the vi chord we learned in the first part.
So let's say our song started in the key of C major. We could use some or all of the relationships we learned in part 1, but by resolving that journey away from home to its relative minor chord, A minor, instead of back to the C major tonic, we switch into its relative minor key!
And vice versa if you start in the key of A minor. Resolving to its relative major chord, C major, will move the progression into its relative major key.
The difference between relative key changes and proper key changes (which we'll look at another time) is that relative key changes sound more natural and you can still use those same relationships/chords you were in the original key. The only difference is the chord you're resolving to.
Resolution is what defines the key centre of our songs.
Hear how this relative key change alters the overall feel of the progression - to put it simply, you can either resolve to happiness or misery!
When we go on to look at song structure, you'll see how knowledge of this relative key can be further enhanced, using minor key verses and major key choruses, for example.
For now though, keep experimenting with different major and minor key combinations, building on those relationships we've learned. Of course, these relationships exist outside open chord fingerings, but more on that another time.

Q: Rest Assured: Isn't there a better way to test an array of results? I am studying Rest Assured framework now.
Using some API I get the following (partial) JSON response:
{
    "results": [
        {
            "type": "AAAA"
        },
        {
            "type": "A"
        }
    ]
}

I am trying to verify the types.
The only way I found so far is to use gson to translate the string to an object and then assert:
@Given("^test2$")
public void test2$() {

    RestAssured.baseURI = BASE_URI;

    String response =
            given()
            .param(KEY_KEY, API_KEY)
            .param(URL_KEY, URL_TO_CHECK)
            .when()
            .get(RESOURCE)
            .asString();

    System.out.println(response);

    GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder();
    builder.setPrettyPrinting();
    Gson gson = builder.create();
    WhtResponse whtResponse = gson.fromJson(response, WhtResponse.class);

    assertTrue(whtResponse.getResults().size() == 2);
    assertTrue(whtResponse.getResults().get(0).getType().equals("AAAA"));
    assertTrue(whtResponse.getResults().get(1).getType().equals("A"));
}

Please ignore that there are several asserts in one test method. I know it is not best practice but I am just "playing" now to study the material.
Is there a better, shorter, more fluent way to test both values? Maybe directly with Rest Assured and without the Gson?
Thanks!

A: There are probably a few ways but I want to present a specific one, using only RestAssured.
First, of all, you can create Java classes to represent the given JSON. You can always expand it.
Create a class ResultsObject (name doesn't matter)
public class ResultsObject {
    public List<TypeObject> results;
}

We are declaring that RestAssured have to look for a JSON Array of JSON Objects. Each of these Object is parsed to TypeObject (this name also doesn't matter). What matters, is the results variable name. It matches the results in the JSON.
So, now we have to create TypeObject class to represent each of JSON Objects.
public class TypeObject {
    public String type;
}

Again, the class name doesn't matter, what matters is type variable name. Just like in JSON.
Now, with a single line of code we can parse the JSON (either from Response or String) to the classes we created like this:
ResultsObject results = response.jsonPath().get("$", ResultObject.class);
Further work requires to create an assertion.
MatcherAssert.assertThat(types, Matchers.hasItems("AAAA", "A")); //you can use static imports if you'd like.

The assertion is from Hamcrest which is already included in RestAssured. It matches the Array of Strings to an Array of Strings of our choice.
You can notice, that types is not yet initialized. We need an Array of Strings but it's an Array of TypeObject. We can simply convert it using Java Stream API like this:
List<String> types = resultsObject.results.stream().map(x -> x.type).collect(Collectors.toList());

And that's it!
But the way, if you get the Exception like this Cannot deserialize object because no JSON deserializer found in classpath. Please put either Jackson (Databind) or Gson in the classpath. all you have to do is add jackson-databind to Maven. Rest Assured is able to use Gson or Jackson databind to transform JSON into Java classes.
All you need is the dependency, and you are all set.
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
            <version>2.9.9</version>
        </dependency>

I already tested the solution.
It also gives you the flexibility of how you want to process the data, and as you can see, I used only 1 Assertion to compare all of the types from JSON.
Hope it helps!

A strong geomagnetic storm is racing from the Sun towards Earth.
The storm, a big cloud of charged particles flung from the Sun at about 7.2 million km/h [Comment: 1/150 of the speed of light], was spawned by a pair of solar flares, scientists said.
This is probably the strongest such event in nearly 60 years, and is likely more intense than a similar storm in late January, said Joseph Kunches, a space weather specialist at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Such stormy space weather is unusual in recent history, according to Harlan Spence, an astrophysicist at the University of New Hampshire who is principal investigator on the Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
"These relatively large (solar) events, which we've had maybe a couple of handfuls total in the course of a decade, we've now had two or three of them, more or less right on top of each other", Spencer said.
Further information on NASA says there's no need to worry.

Is Roblox Cross-Platform?
Kudos to the developer who has enabled the cross-play support for this gaming platform. Apart from playing single cross-play compatible games now, players can play a lot of games using a single platform. The best part with this game is the availability of the official game versions for the smartphone environment. It has relieved the pain of many mobile gamers who lack cross-play support with most of the popular games.
Noticeably there are certain restrictions in this game for Xbox One users. The problem relies on sending the invite link to our friends who will be using different versions of the device. But it is possible to receive and join the game on mobile and PC. In addition to that, there are many benefits to the availability of crossplay support. Correspondingly the benefits are listed below.
The primary advantage is obviously playing with our friends using multiple platforms.
Using crossplay we can connect with a more number of players all around the world. So it increases the gamer's base.
Option to access your game progress across all the compatible devices. For example, if you are playing on a PC, you can check your progress by logging your account into an Xbox console.
With the larger amount of players, it becomes easy for developers to modify the bugs in their games often.
The availability of cross-platform support will make every player join the game with their device. So there will be no need to eliminate players showcasing their noncompatible device as the reason.

But an Xbox One user can join and play with a another Xbox One player.
Is Roblox Cross-Platform PC and PS4?
Unfortuantely No. Roblox is not cross-play across PC and PS4. This means players with PC and PS4 devices cant join and play on a single platform.

August Gun Sales Mark Another Record
Photo courtesy of the NSSF
Americans are exercising their Second Amendment rights in record-setting numbers for yet another consecutive month this year, according to data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).
NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check (NICS) numbers for August show over a 50% increase from 2019. In total, August saw almost 1.7 million firearms background checks.
"August's adjusted NICS figures of nearly 1.7 million background checks associated with the sale of a firearm are in line with the months-long trend we've witnessed since March, when figures topped an all-time one-month record of 2.3 million. Each month since April, adjusted NICS figures averaged between 1.6 and 1.8 million. August's figures are a record-high for the month over all previous years and show us that concerns for personal safety and self-defense continue to remain a priority for law-abiding Americans," said Mark Oliva, director of public affairs for the NSSF.
This continued record pace of firearm sales clearly shows that law-abiding Americans are turning out by the millions to exercise their right to keep and bear arms. Recently, NSSF estimates determined that almost 5 million citizens bought guns for the first time this year. Of those millions, further surveys indicated that roughly 40% are women and 58% of all purchases are by black Americans. Firearms retailers also noted that sales of firearms had nearly doubled, and ammunition sales were up 139% from 2019.
The NSSF analyzes background checks from NICS and factors out those likely not used to purchase a firearm to more accurately depict the number of firearms being purchased in the country.
A number of factors have likely played into Americans' decision to arm themselves, whether it be the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential of a Joe Biden presidency or a host of other factors. Whatever the case, it is encouraging to see that Americans are embracing their constitutional rights, and that they're doing so more than ever before.

Blog Translation The Importance of English-to-Spanish Medical Translation
The Importance of English-to-Spanish Medical Translation
English-to-Spanish medical translation will be more important than ever in the United States over the next 30 years.
The rapid growth of America's Hispanic population has presented many challenges for the healthcare sector.
Increasing diversity has led to increased pressure on healthcare systems to ensure limited-English speakers are treated equally.
There are clear mandates that emphasize language rights when it comes to healthcare. These are are applied at both the federal and state level.
English-to-Spanish medical translation can help ease pressure from any language barrier that is present.
The Right to English-to-Spanish Medical Translation
In Massachusetts, for example, the State legislature made it clear the goal of language access is to provide the broadest possible protection for the rights of non-English speaking persons to understand and be understood.
The law prioritizes the need to ensure that non-English speaking individuals are afforded the right to equal and meaningful access to justice. This also applies to healthcare.
The internet has become a valuable tool for healthcare organizations to disseminate information. Internet users have in turn turned to web resources for research, communication and the latest public health updates.
The importance of eHealth in improving communication among providers and patients therefore can't be over-emphasized. Hospital websites, however, can be made more relevant and useful to compliment eHealth.
Translation of healthcare documents is necessary in order help all people to correctly understand the message that is being conveyed. That, in turn, will help them make informed medical choices.
Translation for Hospital Websites
Hospital websites should factor in the ethnic and cultural diversity of the community. Important information needs to be accessible for everyone in the community.
In 2019, Hispanics made up roughly 18.5% of the population in the U.S., which translates to approximately 61 million people. That population is only expected to rise, and one in three residents in the U.S. will be Hispanic by the year 2050.
These statistics shows that Hispanics are an important demographic that must be taken into account by healthcare agencies and organizations.
Governmental initiatives like the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health Care have taken into account the role of linguistic and cultural communication barriers in regards to patient-provider transactions.
Websites should therefore be properly translated to meet the needs of the Hispanic population. We need to consider cultural and linguistic barriers that negatively affect healthcare access.
An increasing number of healthcare providers have embraced the need for medical translation, which covers English-to-Spanish medical translation, translation of healthcare documents, and medical term translation.
If your organization has a stake in the healthcare field, you should consider making use of effective medical translation services.

The Masupatsela Women's Cooperative has grown from five founders to creating awareness in over 600 households, schools and shopping complexes in Tembisa.
The first thing you notice when driving into the Masupatsela Women's Cooperative's spacious yard are the smiles on the faces of just over a dozen people sorting and rummaging through refuse bags neatly spread all over the compound.
One of the smiles belongs to Salphy Nkoana, a middle-aged woman who scurries about the compound overlooking the activity of the sorters and offering guidance.
This has been part of her daily routine for over seven years now, as a co-founder of the cooperative, a township-based project to alleviate poverty by cleaning up the community, one house at a time.
"We wake up early in the morning to collect recycling materials from PET (polyethylene terephthalate plastic) to brown and green bottles and others from the street, and by going door-to-door within the community.
"By doing this we educate people about recycling and its key elements – reduce, reuse and recycle – which is then followed by a handout of refuse bags provided to us by the Ekurhuleni Municipality.
After collecting the materials they come back to the yard built for them by the municipality and sort out the recyclables before selling them to factories.
Before the municipality knew about the project, Nkoana says she was just another number in the high unemployment statistics. She couldn't find a job and resorted to selling sweets and chips on the street to avoid sitting at home all day. She also tried to attend night school in the hopes of earning a matric certificate. Neither plan was successful.
It was during this demotivating period in her life that she met four women at a failed community development project where they had learnt a little about recycling. Her passion for recycling was ignited and together they decided to start their own recycling business.
Now their business has grown to 15 workers, including the five founders and a whole community of contributors. Together they collect and create awareness in over 600 households, schools and shopping complexes in Tembisa and the surrounding townships.
Another person who is just as happy to be there is Daniel Makope, who was first employed by the cooperative six years ago and now is the yard supervisor.
Ekurhuleni Municipality's Mpho Mogale said: "The municipality is happy about this cooperative as they are creating jobs and assisting in income generation in the community which contributes to reducing social issues.

The authentic Lisbon you will never forget
The heartbeat of Lisbon
In the neighborhood, the aristocratic mansions and palaces of the 19th century, once home to the city's elite, have been claimed by the spirited young entrepreneurs and artisans. The architectural charm has turned it into one of the most sought-after areas to be in with the coolest shopping, restaurants, and bars options in town.
It's here, in this quarter, where the contrast between the historical side of the city with its ancient buildings and antiquaries, and the contemporary Lisbon bustling with modern shops and trendy restaurants is more evident. The hotel naturally blends into this scenario, in perfect harmony with the past and the present, standing high in a privileged location.
Príncipe Real is a must for any Lisbon wanderer. Still relatively off the radar of most tourists, the area is slowly becoming one of the liveliest in Lisbon, especially among the locals. The neighborhood (named 'Royal Prince' in honor of Queen Maria II's first born) remains essentially a residential district, filled with gardens, a couple of the city's most tranquil squares, and colorful mansions, but it's now slowly becoming one of the liveliest areas in Lisbon.
Almost levitating at the top of the hill, the 41-room property is the first five-star boutique hotel set in what is becoming the trendiest neighborhood in Lisbon and, though residential in feel, is also home to one of its best and alternative shopping areas.

SMS Message - THERE IS ALWAYS A SET TIME FOR HARVEST AFTER SEED IS PLANTED, THERE IS ALWAYS A SET TIME TO END A JOURNEY AFTER IT IS STARTED, THERE IS ALWAYS A SET TIME FOR RELIEF AFTER PERIOD OF PAIN AND GRIEF. THERE IS ALWAYS A SET TIME FOR THE FULFILMENT OF DREAMS. THERE IS A SET TIME FOR DELIVERY OF PREGNANTED CHILD AFTER THE CONCEPTION. THERE IS A SET TIME FOR THE COMPLETION OF A HOUSE AFTER THE FOUNDATION IS LAID. GENESIS 8:22, GALATIANS 4:4, PSALM 30:5B. HOLD ON TO THAT DREAM WHICH IS LIKE A SEED GOING THROUGH PERIOD OF PAIN NOW. DON'T DROP IT YET, BECAUSE THE SET TIME FOR ITS FULFILMENT IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK. YOUR TIME WILL COME. JOSEPH WAITED FOR THIRTEEN YEARS AFTER HIS DREAMS BEFORE THEY BECAME REALITY. GOD SUSTAINED HIM THROUGH THE PERIOD OF WAITING. DAVID DID NOT TAKE OVER THE THRONE IN ISRAEL IMMEDIATELY HE WAS ANNOINTED. BUT THE TIME TO TAKE OVER THE THRONE CAME. GOD SUSTAINED HIM THROUGH THE PERIOD OF WAITING. GOD WILL SUSTAIN YOU AND THE SET TIME FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH WILL COME.
