Probing the mind of Belichick - Cursed To First - Sox and Pats forever.
Great show with Coach Bill. I agree Coach Bill is bright and when he is in his element (with football people) he is at his best. All the other stuff is a "necessary evil" in his mind. Being a competitor and dedicated coach makes the press conference VERY difficult after a loss. Just like talking to Beckett after a bad outing.
100% agree on the Beckett comparison. And if you put the mic'd up thing linked above and the PAA mic'd up from the Pro Bowl side by side, I think it illustrates the difference between Belichick's mindset on a real game day vs. a "fun" exhibition really well.

Plant a Tree for Thornton
Thornton Estel Brown
August 7, 1946 ~ March 27, 2020 (age 73)
Thornton E. Brown, Jr., 73, died March 27th at his residence in Berlin Township.
He was born on August 7, 1946, in Corbin, KY., but had lived in the Huron, Sandusky and BerlinTownship areas for most of his life. He was a graduate of Perkins High School.
He spent his entire career working in sales and retired from McNaughton-McKay Electric Company in 2009. In retirement, he was working part-time for his son, Mike, at Universal Equipment & Rental in Sandusky. He served in the Ohio National Guard. He had two favorite pastimes, racquetball every Tuesday and Thursday at Baywinds with some of his best friends (his words) and golf at Thunderbird Hills.
Surviving are his wife, Brenda Stallard-Brown, to whom he was married for 30 years; three sons, Brian (Teresa) of Huron, Michael (Tracy) of Milan, and Chris (Stacey) of Norwalk; ten grandchildren, James, Joey, JaLynn, Jessica, Julia, Brandon, Haley, Paige, Caleb and Hannah; one great granddaughter, Rory; four aunts, Joea (Neill) Enoch of Sandusky, Lorene Blanton and Brenda (Carl) Root of London, KY, Patti Byrley of Sandusky; one uncle, Bennie Brown of London, KY. Because Thornton was an only child and family was so important, there are numerous cousins who will remember him with many fond memories.
Thornton was preceded in death by his father, (Thornton) Estel Brown in 1988 and his mother, Ruth (Byrley) Brown in 2006. Both his paternal and maternal grandparents preceded him in death.
He was a registered organ donor; so in death, he has helped others. Cremation has taken place and when life returns to normal, an announcement will be made for a celebration of his life.
Online condolences may be left at www.mormanfuneralhome.com.

A tentativa de golpe de Estado na Guiné Equatorial em 2004, também conhecida como golpe Wonga, foi uma tentativa de golpe de Estado contra o governo da Guiné Equatorial para substituir o presidente Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo pelo exilado político Severo Moto Nsá, realizada por mercenários e organizada principalmente por financiadores britânicos. A Guiné Equatorial tem vastas reservas de petróleo e gás.  Um oficial estadunidense o denominou de "o novo Kuwait".  Os promotores alegaram que o líder da oposição da Guiné Equatorial, Severo Moto, seria instalado como o novo presidente em troca de direitos petrolíferos preferenciais às corporações afiliadas aos envolvidos com o golpe. Recebeu a atenção da mídia internacional após o envolvimento relatado de Sir Mark Thatcher no financiamento do golpe, pelo qual foi condenado e multado na África do Sul.

Desenrolar dos fatos
Em 7 de março de 2004, a polícia do Zimbábue confiscou no Aeroporto Internacional de Harare um avião que voava da África do Sul.  O suposto líder do complô, o ex-oficial do Serviço Aéreo Especial (Special Air Service; SAS) Simon Mann, foi preso juntamente com dois colegas perto da pista enquanto esperava pelas armas que seriam carregadas em um Boeing 727 (N4610), levando três tripulantes e 64 ex-soldados recrutados na África do Sul.  A maioria dos supostos mercenários envolvidos no complô golpista eram da África do Sul e ex-membros do 32ª Batalhão Búfalo, uma unidade de força especial que lutou pelo regime do apartheid sul-africano.

Em 9 de março de 2004, Nick du Toit e outros catorze homens sul-africanos e angolanos foram detidos na Guiné Equatorial sob suspeita de serem a vanguarda dos mercenários.

O gerente de marketing das Industrias de Defesa do Zimbábue (Zimbabwe Defense Industries; ZDI), Hope Mutize, afirmou em tribunal que Simon Mann lhe pagou um depósito em armas no valor de 180.000 dólares (100.000 libras) em fevereiro de 2004 e indiretamente vinculou Mann ao suposto complô dizendo que estava acompanhado por um sul-africano, Nick du Toit, o líder dos catorze homens detidos na Guiné Equatorial.   "Eles insistiram que não queriam nenhuma papelada", acrescentou Mutize. Fontes jurídicas afirmaram que Mann havia firmado o acordo com o diretor-gerente das ZDI, Tshinga Dube. Porém as notícias do acordo aparentemente vazaram para as autoridades sul-africanas, que avisaram a inteligência do Zimbábue. Suas requisições de armas incluíam 20 metralhadoras, 61 rifles de assalto AK-47, 150 granadas de mão, 10 lançadores de granadas lançados por foguete (e 100 projéteis de RPG) e 75.000 cartuchos de munição.  Mann alegou que queria que os fuzis, morteiros e munições para proteger minas de diamantes em partes instáveis da República Democrática do Congo.

Foi alegado que os detidos no Zimbábue fizeram uma escala na cidade de Harare para comprar armas e esperavam unir-se a uma equipe na Guiné Equatorial para derrubar o presidente Obiang.  Nick du Toit, o líder do grupo de presos na Guiné Equatorial, disse em seu julgamento na Guiné Equatorial que foi recrutado por Simon Mann e que o ajudava com o recrutamento, na aquisição de armas e na logística. Alegou que lhe foi dito que pretendiam instalar um exilado político da oposição, Severo Moto, como o novo presidente.

DKK 30 million for high-tech electron microscopes for research in molecular cell biology
The Minister for Higher Education and Science has approved funding for three new research infrastructures, of which DKK 30.76 million goes to EMBION – a research infrastructure for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) on biological materials.

8 November 2018 by Lisbeth Heilesen
EMBION is a Danish research collaboration led by Professor Poul Nissen from Aarhus University, with participation from the University of Copenhagen as well as the University of Southern Denmark and the Statens Serum Institut. Aalborg University and the Technical University of Denmark also support EMBION.
Last year, the cryo-EM technology was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to three pioneers for their development of methods, which enables the determination of structures of large biological molecules such as proteins, RNA and DNA at atomic level. This reveals new insights into how life processes work and are disturbed in disease. At the same time, the technology paves the way for drug development and enzymes in production of, for example, bioethanol, food and green chemistry, as well as new protein-based materials.
Together with the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University will establish facilities in Aarhus and Copenhagen centered around the Titan-Krios flagship microscope and a new microscope for general studies of projects from the Danish research landscape.
The aim of EMBION is to provide this technology to the Danish research community and along with the European XFEL in Hamburg, the MAX-IV sycnhrotron and the European Spallation Source in Lund, and the 950 MHz NMR facility at iNANO, cryoEM will ensure the continuation of the Danish researchers' leading position in structural biology.
Professor Poul Nissen says:
- It is very important for the entire Danish research community that we can build a strong infrastructure on cryo-EM. This method will be revolutionary for all life sciences by bridging the structure and function of biomolecules and the many biochemical signalling and synthesis pathways of cell biology. We have much to build on and much to look at - both in academic research and companies.

Three new research infrastructures receive a grant
In addition to the grant to EMBION, a new test center for electronics (X-Power) will receive DKK 31.15 million, while the Danish part of the world's largest research infrastructure CERN (CERN-UP) receives DKK 11.2 million for an upgrade.
- If our aim is to be among the worldwide elite of research nations, Danish researchers increasingly need high-tech facilities. Therefore, it is important that we invest in the infrastructure that they need. All three new research infrastructures can help making our lives and everyday life easier, says Tommy Ahlers, Minister for Higher Education and Science.
X-Power, EMBION and CERN-UP are all financed by the fund for research infrastructure on the basis of the Danish Roadmap for Research Infrastructure 2015. The Roadmap presents the Ministry for Higher Education and Science's plans for how the Danish research infrastructures will be strengthened until 2020. "Danish Roadmap for Research Infrastructure 2015" will strengthen Denmark's international competitiveness within research, education and innovation.

The Memorial House of Maria Tănase, CraiovaCod 1318
Maria Tănase was a Romanian popular, fiddler's, romance music singer and variety theater actress. He was named the "Skilled bird" (by Nicolae Iorga and the Queen of the Romanian songs.
She was born in the suburbs of the Brick Makers from Bucharest (the area of the Children palace – Youth Park), being the third child of Ana Munteanu, originary from the commune Cârța, the county of Sibiu (Țara Făgărașului) and of the florist Ion Coandă Tănase (1877 – 1958), from the village Mierea – Birnici, the county of Dolj, on the valley of Amaradia. She had a sister and a brother: Aurica and François.
In May 1934 she employs at the Theatre"Cărăbuș". On the 2nd of June she debuts in the magazine Cărăbuș – Express (of N. Kirițescu) with the pseudonym Mary Atanasiu, chosen by Constantin Tănase. In the same year she record the Mansard (romance music by Nello Manzatti) at the recording house "Lifa Record", this being the first recording for the artist.
In the summer of the year 1937 he records the first popular songs at the recording house "Columbia", under the supervision of the ethno-musicologist Constantin Brăiloiu and Harry Brauners, the first two being Cine iubește și lasă and M-am jurat de mii de ori, which she recorded in the accompaniment of the folk music band Costică Vraciu from Gorj. The date of the 20th of February 1938 represents the radio phonic debut of the artist. In 1938, Maria Tănase sings in the well-known luxury restaurant"Luxandra", accompanied by the orchestra of the violinist Petrică Moțoi. On the 17th of August 1938 sings at the ending of the summer courses of the Popular University from Vălenii de Munte (Prahova), where the historian Nicolae Iorga names her the Skilled bird. In the same years she engages at the Theatre "Alhambra" of Nicolae Vlădoianu. In September she launches with a great success the songs Mi-am pus busuioc în păr and Habar n-ai tu in the magazine Constelația Alhambrei, which she then records at "Columbia". By the end of the year 1940, the Iron Guard prohibits her to appear in public and, through the order of the Minister of Propaganda, all the gramophone disks existent with Maria Tănase were destroyed in the Radio's discotheque, as well as their matrixes from the recording house Columbia. The last concert of the artist, before the censure, took place on the 20th of October 1940, at the Municipality Theatre "Maior Gheorghe Pastia" from Focșani. The newspaper "Timpul", no. 1356 of the 16th of February 1941, announced the readers about the reappearance of Maria Tănase in a radio-phonic program. After the instauration of the communism, in 1952 she is requested to profess at the Middle music school no. 1 from Bucharest, within the department of popular music, which was newly created. She had as students Victoria Darvai, Ileana Constantinescu, Natalia Șerbănescu. She also sang in numerous restaurants and premises from Bucharest (especially in the inter-war period): "Neptun", "Café Wilson", "Parcul Aro", "Luxandra", "Luther", "Continental", "Prispa-naltă" from the Obor Market. In the spring of the year 1963, being in a road show at Hunedoara with the Folk Music Band of Gorj, she finds out that she suffers from lung cancer. She interrupts the tour, asking Mia Braia to replace her. On the 2nd of May she arrives home, in Bucharest.
Maria Tănase always had an Oltenian soul. Maybe this was also because of the fact that her father, the florist Ion Tănase, was born in the small village from Gorj, Mierea Birnicii and he lived in his youth at Craiova. In Bănie, Maria Tănase came in the hard years of the war, when she had shows together with the great folk singers of the city. Also here she carried away the folklore. And the Bănie remained grateful to her, by offering her a museum, a festival, a fountain and it remained as memory the home where she lived in this period.

Where is the Fietz family from?
You can see how Fietz families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Fietz family name was found in the USA, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Fietz families were found in the USA in 1920. In 1861 there was 1 Fietz family living in Orkney. This was 100% of all the recorded Fietz's in Scotland. Orkney had the highest population of Fietz families in 1861.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Fietz surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.
What did your Fietz ancestors do for a living?
In 1880, a less common occupation for the Fietz family was Drayman. The most common Fietz occupation in the USA was Farmer. 30% of Fietz's were Farmers. Farmer, Laborer and Bookeeper were the top 3 reported jobs worked by Fietz.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Fietz ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Fietz family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Fietz. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Fietz census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Fietz. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in the UK, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.
There are 1,000 military records available for the last name Fietz. For the veterans among your Fietz ancestors, military collections provide insights into where and when they served, and even physical descriptions.
You've only scratched the surface of Fietz family history.
What is the average Fietz lifespan?
Between 1945 and 2004, in the United States, Fietz life expectancy was at its lowest point in 1945, and highest in 1995. The average life expectancy for Fietz in 1945 was 39, and 86 in 2004.
An unusually short lifespan might indicate that your Fietz ancestors lived in harsh conditions. A short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family. The SSDI is a searchable database of more than 70 million names. You can find birthdates, death dates, addresses and more.

Protect Palm Cottage in Perpetuity!
The Society's Acquisition of 163 12th Avenue South, Naples FL 34102
A Charitable Opportunity with Lifetime Benefits
In March of 2021 Naples Historical Society was offered a right-of-first-refusal to purchase the property adjacent to Historic Palm Cottage™. It sits just to the east of the Cottage. We could not refuse that offer! The address is 163 12th Avenue South.
This house, along with Historic Palm Cottage and dozens of other historic structures, is nestled in the National Register-recognized Naples Historic District. (Click here to see a map of the Naples Historic District.)
The property at 163 12th Avenue South includes a residential building that sits on a large parcel of land (the main house), and there is a charming little guest house as well, all of 600 sq. ft. The purchase price for the entire lot was $4,200,000. If we didn't buy the property, it would have been sold the moment it came on the market.
We know this house would have been torn down in an instant if we didn't buy it. A demolished house gives way for a massive house. A massive house next door to and looming over Historic Palm Cottage would be a permanent travesty. We have ensured that will never happen!
Re-development Plans
We have embarked on a plan to re-develop the property through what's called "adaptive re-use." This refers to repurposing the building, making it viable for another, better, use.
Our plan is to create an informative series of museum exhibits (totaling approximately 1,000 square feet) for the interior of the "house." Then, we'll build and showcase a meandering pathway surrounding the house that will feature informative signage, or "history stations," that chronicle Naples' history. We plan to highlight many decades-old fruit trees that grace the property as well. Re-development costs total $300,000.
The museum exhibit and surrounding pathway will complement existing tours of Historic Palm Cottage, adding tremendous value to every tour. This re-development plan will give donors and visitors alike an opportunity to satisfy their intellectual curiosities about our local history. They will also receive extraordinary satisfaction knowing that they have helped protect Palm Cottage in perpetuity.
Access to this new museum exhibit and pathway will be part of regular tour admission for Historic Palm Cottage after re-development is completed. The projected completion date is the fall of 2023 (subject to change).
Mary & Stephen Byron Smith have offered a
$1 Million Match Challenge to aid in this endeavor!
We are profoundly grateful for their remarkable generosity. Their philanthropic support enabled the Society to begin its work immediately, creating a community benefit sooner. The project is named the Smith Exhibit Hall in appropriate recognition of their invaluable gift.
Because of this fabulous challenge gift, we are thrilled to have received major gift support from a handful of wonderful people thus far. Since March 2021, we have raised $3.7 million, an outstanding accomplishment! But, we would sincerely appreciate additional help from the community to conclude our plans (see the next section for more information).
We are extremely thankful that our donors, members, the greater community, and visitors from near and far share our long-term vision and clearly understand that Palm Cottage is the ultimate historic house in need of protection. If you feel the same, and wish to help at any level of giving, please know we would welcome your 100% tax-deductible financial support (as allowed by law).
Donations & Gift Recognition
Although we are in the midst of re-development plans, we are offering recognition for your financial support. A current gift will not only be helpful to the Society, it will hold your place in line for your preferred and available naming opportunity item. Of course, we will keep you apprised of our plans as we move forward.
There are many ways to participate with Naples Historical Society's endeavor to protect Palm Cottage in perpetuity! Choose your investment preference from the many options below. Note that public access will not be authorized until the property has been re-zoned and construction has completed (projected fall 2023).
Please see the Property Map for 163 12th Avenue South.
For a plaque on a Fence Picket, print this form and return it with your payment.
For an inscribed Brick Paver, print this form and return it with your payment.
For larger gifts, see this list of naming opportunities; we highly recommend that you call the Society first to ensure the item's availability.

By definition, suicide prevention experts are considered to be pre-judgmentally biased on these aspects. However, their knowledge of the fields could actually make them important interlocutors in the debate. Aim: As a part of Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care's commission, an evaluation of the need for educating undergraduate medical students on suicide prevention, euthanasia and life-ending issues was performed. Methods: In Australia, semi-structured interviews were conducted on samples of medical schools coordinators, medical students, and general practitioners (GPs). Specifically, key academics in Curriculum and /or Accreditation Committees from 10 out of 15 Australian Medical Schools (AMS) participated in a survey on the possible implementation of suicide prevention, euthanasia and life-ending issues in undergraduate courses. University of Queensland medical students (n = 373) were asked to rate their attitude toward the same issues. Twenty four GPs from 6 different states (rural/urban environments) were asked to rate the level of importance of a specific curriculum on suicide prevention, euthanasia and life-ending issues. Results: Suicide prevention education was perceived of critical importance by all. Medical students showed high interest in learning about euthanasia and life-ending issues (76.8%), quality of life and quality of death (85.1%), and different types of euthanasia and physician assisted suicide (70%). They reported that physicians should be involved in ending-life decisions (89%). Forty per cent of AMS thought education on euthanasia and life-ending issues was essential. Fifty four per cent of GPs considered education in euthanasia and related issues as a high priority. Conclusions: The increasing aging population and the high prevalence of chronic illness call for a growing involvement of physicians in this difficult area of medical practice. Globally, the need for undergraduate education on these matters is perceived as important and urgent.

You deserve to be stylish and cosy at the same time. We added sequins to the neckline on this jumper for a touch of glamour. You'll be so comfortable you won't want to take it off.
Bought this a bargain in the same. Nice jumpers. Looks good dressed up or casual.
The fit is perfect and the neckline with the subtle sequins is just what I was looking for. It is sparkly without being too much.
It can be worn dressed up or casual with a pair of jeans.
I would definitely recommend for anyone to buy it.


The Africa Foundation is a fund which has been created to foster the increased democratisation of countries in Africa. The size of the fund is 20 million dollars. Part of the funds here are aimed at supporting a political candidate whose primary goal is making the country in question democratic as well as developing the country as a whole and providing higher living standards and a better future for the citizens.
The first part of this work is a film and book about the candidate. You can read more about these projects under Film – The African and Book – The African. The cost for production and distribution is 1 million dollars. In this project Castro desires to work closely with Lord Bell, a legendary PR consultant in England and primarily associated with Margaret Thatcher, but who has also helped around ten Presidents and Prime Ministers to win their elections around the world. Lord Bell would work in this project as an advisor and strategist.

Q: How to have Maven build dependency from local Maven project instead of download? I am working on 2 Java maven projects A and B, and A depends on B. Both projects are github repositories which I have cloned on my local machine.
I made some changes to B and want to test it out with project A now.
When I run the tests in project A, how do I tell Maven to use my local copy of B rather than download a jar file of B from the internet?

A: There are few possible ways:

*

*Switch to offline mode with mvn -o. That way you will be only using local repository.

*Build and install new version of B which is only available in local repository e.g. 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT. Then update A pom.xml to use this new version.
Check out Introduction to Repositories docs to understand what are repositories and how they work.

On January 14, 2017, for the very first time, we travelled two hours east of Park City to the Ute Reservation in Northeastern Utah to set up a mobile spay/neuter medical clinic. There we offered vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries and a pet food pantry for members of the Ute Tribe and their pets. The Ute Reservation is the second largest Native American Reservation in the U.S. and nearly 3,000 Ute Tribe members and their pets live there. In this remote area, there are few resources for animals. We brought help and hope to over 100 families and their pets!
Please Donate Today to help us continue our lifesaving work!
Check back soon for photos and stories of love and success!
On June 26th, 2016 Nuzzles & Co headed out on a journey to the Navajo Reservation to help rescue homeless cats and dogs. No one knows exactly how many homeless animals there are, but the estimates are in the tens of thousands. And, due to a lack of resources and a lack of animal control officers, the shelters have a high-kill rates. Resources are limited and conditions are harsh. From dumpsters to cracks in the wall, we will search and save every life we can. And then go back and save more.
Please donate just 5 dollars to help support future rescue journey to the reservation. Every dollar helps provide the animals with food, medicines, rehabilitation, training and a warm, safe place to sleep at night.
Here are just some of the lives we saved at the Navajo Nation – and they were all adopted!


Bolzano invites you to let your mind wander. There are endless opportunities inviting you to stay, stroll and discover. The old medieval town center boasts shops with romantic porches, colorful markets and other places that send you back hundreds of years in time.
The Piazza Walther is home to the monument of minstrel Walther von der Vogelweide. With the Walther monument having been built in 1901, the square came to its present name of Piazza Walther / Waltherplatz. It is the largest square in the old town, surrounded by magnificent town houses and cafés that invite you to linger. Flower market, speck festival, pumpkin festival and of course the Christmas market are just a few popular festivals that take place every year on the Walther square.
The Bolzano Cathedral (Dompfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt), directly opposite the Walther Square, is the symbol of the city of Bolzano. The impressive bell tower, the marvelous Romanesque-Gothic architecture and numerous artistic treasures inside invite you to an extensive visit.
Colloquially known as "Ötzi Museum", the South Tyrol Archaeological Museum located right in Bolzano's historic center impressively shows the entire history of South Tyrol from the Palaeolithic Age to the Carolingian period on an exhibition area of about 1200 square meters. Based on archaeological findings, models, holograms, videos and acoustic impressions thousands of years of history are illustrated. The absolute highlight of the museum is the 5300-year-old Ötzi, a sensational iceman find. The mummy was found in 1991 on the Similaun glacier in the Ötztal Alps.
The old town in Bolzano city centre has romantic narrow streets and historic buildings, making it a real gem. The Bozner Lauben - elegant shopping arcades with round arches - as well as the lively fruit market and numerous cafés and restaurants give the city a really special atmosphere. The Talferwiesen (meadows of Talvera/Talfer) in the city centre is Bolzano's green oasis, offering walking trails and playgrounds. It is especially popular in the summer as a meeting place for sport and for relaxing.

Cyril's parting words to Winnie
New President Cyril Ramaphosa described Winnie Madikizela-Mandela as "an abiding symbol of the desire for freedom".
by Jeanine Walker
In a statement following the passing of the struggle stalwart, Ramaphosa said Madikizela-Mandela was a champion of justice and equality.
Madikizela-Mandela passed away at Netcare Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg at the age of 81 after a long illness for which she had been in and out of hospital since the start of the year, according to a statement released by her family.
Of former president Nelson Mandela's x-wife the president said: "It is with a profound sense of loss and deep sadness that we have learnt of the passing away of Mam' Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. Even at the darkest moments of our struggle for liberation, Mam' Winnie was an abiding symbol of the desire of our people to be free. In the midst of repression, she was a voice of defiance and resistance. In the face of exploitation, she was a champion of justice and equality…
"Throughout her life, she made an everlasting contribution to the struggle through sacrifice and her unyielding determination. Her dedication to the plight of her people gained her the love and the respect of the nation.
"For many years, she bore the brunt of the senseless brutality of the apartheid state with stoicism and fortitude. Despite the hardships she faced, she never doubted that the struggle for freedom and democracy would succeed.
"She remained throughout her life a tireless advocate for the dispossessed and the marginalised. She was a voice for the voiceless."
The President's office appealed for collective reflection on Madikizela-Mandela's "rich, remarkable and meaningful life" as the nation mourns.
"Let us draw inspiration from the struggles that she fought and the dream of a better society to which she dedicated her life. Today we have lost a mother, a grandmother, a friend, a comrade, a leader and an icon.
"As South Africans, we collectively pass our condolences to the Madikizela and Mandela families. Your loss is our loss as well," the Presidency said.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation has joined the outpour of tributes.
"Mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's passing away is a hard blow for the foundation. She travelled a very long road together with our founder, Nelson Mandela. She was a member of a generation of leaders which survived the most brutal period of state terror in apartheid South Africa. And she was a friend of the foundation.
"All South Africans are indebted to Mama Winnie… From the witness of her life, we knew we could stand tall; we knew also we could falter and stumble. Either condition was an affirmation of life. Her cry was our cry, and in 2018 we can say we did triumph.
"We will miss her, and our country will miss her. Hamba kahle (farewell) Mama," said foundation chairperson Professor Njabulo Ndebele.

2018 Update: Hunting for the best cashmere sweaters? You may want to check out our most recent roundup, with tons of great cashmere sweaters for work under $200.
We haven't done a Hunt on cashmere sweaters for a while, so I thought I'd round up a few — while discounts will likely go deeper over the next few months, selection is already dwindling. Cashmere can be a tricky thing to recommend — over and over again I've seen readers commenting about how the softness changes from one season to the next, and how they notice differences in softness even between colors in the same season (not to mention taste differences from one person to the next — my most hated cashmere sweater was an itchy, misshapen mess that came from a mass retailer that I've seen numerous folks recommend specifically for cashmere) so this is all a bit of a crapshoot online. That said, if you're busy and don't feel like taking a weekend afternoon to go touch cashmere, these would be some of my first stops when looking for myself. These brands aren't included in the roundup, but I've also recently seen readers recommend Land's End (rec here), Akris cashmere (rec here), and Michael Kors cashmere (rec here), just to round up a few — I didn't include an Inhabit NY sweater this time but I've been a fan of the sweaters I've gotten from them before. (I've also been intrigued by Everlane's cashmere for a few seasons now, but haven't found the right shape for me just yet — it looks like they currently have an interesting tunic that might be nice for the weekend, but it's either sold out or waitlisted right now.) Readers, what brand is your favorite cashmere sweater? Where is your first stop when hunting for cashmere for yourself — and what shapes do you think are essential (e.g., turtleneck, v-neck, boyfriend cardigan, shrunken blazer, etc.).
My very favorite is from Lord and Taylor's. They had numerous sales before Christmas, but if you stalk the website daily one day all of their cashmere sweaters went down to $50. This happens about 5 days before Christmas.
Yep, seconding L&T, although I will say that this year's cashmere seems a bit thinner than previous years.
I was given three sets of cardigans + love sleeve sweaters in different colors two years ago, and I can vouch for their softness and (two years ago's) durability, but they're a bit short in the arms, and end up being bracelet length on me.
I work in a very small professional office (approx 8 people). My colleagues threw me a very nice baby shower and got me a few gifts "from the office," and a few people got me gifts from them personally. Immediately after the shower I emailed everyone (mass email) to thank them for the shower and the gifts. Should I also send individual thank you cards?
Of course you should. How is this even a question?
Wedding and baby showers are the Ne Plus Ultra of thank-you cards. People who have never thought about etiquette in their lives get Militant Emily Post about it. If there's a way to be offended, they will be. So if there is marriage or a birth involved in any way in the gifting, ALWAYS send a card. Send two, just to be safe. And possibly give gifts in return because people NOTICE.
When you said you got these gifts "from the office" I assumed that your coworkers pooled in money to buy a few group gifts. But it seems like your office has a budget for this kind of thing. If it were a large office I'd say send a handwritten thank you note to the head of the office and then one to whoever did the most work in coordinating the gifts purchase, the party etc. Since it is a small office, just do the individual thank you notes. Caty is right that people get militant about thank you notes for wedding and birth stuff.
I would send individual thank you cards to those who gave individual gifts. The mass email was appropriate for the "office" gift.
I love cashmere! I have several Lauren cable cashmere sweaters from a few years ago, but they don't offer them anymore. My new fave is brooks brothers…pricey but worth it. Soft but substantial and a great color selection. I started collecting cashmere sweaters about ten years ago and I expect my collection to last for many years to come. I don't wash them, although I know many do. I dry clean about once a season, less if its a sweater I wear over a shirt.
I just found a moth hole in my Lauren cashmere sweater that I bought 14 years ago. It was by far the best cashmere sweater I ever owned and got very regular wear.
Take it to a French reweaver! All is not lost! You can definitely save favorite sweaters this way!
Best cost-effective cashmere – surprisingly – is Talbots for me. Even the medium-toned colors (light blue, light camel) don't require a cami underneath for full coverage (AHEM, Jcrew), and I've experienced only light pilling over 1.5 winters. Keep it up!
Favorite on-sale department store cashmere is definitely NM.
I like Brooks Bros cashmere, but find it scratchier to begin with than either of the above. I suspect that means it's actually slightly better quality, but my itchy skin doesn't care if it will last an extra 3 years when the first year or two are prickly.
Dishonorable mentions: Jcrew (SO thin, pills immediately), Bloomingdales house brand (crazy shedding problems on two separate purchases).
How do you stay motivated to not quit? I work in a small firm (8 attys) and I love the people I work with and, in the abstract, I like my job. I don't want to work anywhere else and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.
But…in what has been growing for 3-4 years, and has gotten out of control, I want to quit. Immediately. I have an alternative business plan to go into business for myself and have written the business plan, mapped out the finances, and really think if I threw myself into it I could make it come out in the black within 9-12 months.
But I am so terrified to quit. I grew up poor, and I am terrified – TERRIFIED – of going back to a point in my life when we're having "campfires" around a kerosene heater because we can't pay the electric bill. Especially because I have two kids.
So…I have told myself I have to stick with this position at least two years, until we are both debt-free (seriously – our house will be paid off) and have a family vehicle with <100K miles on it.
So. How do I keep from absolutely daydreaming/wasting my time away at work? It has gotten to the point where it is all I can do to bill 20 hours a week. You ladies were my inspiration for years now when I have been motivated – how do you keep yourself motivated when you just want to get up and walk away and never come back?
About me: 34, attorney, 2 kids, married, practicing atty 5 years.
I don't think quitting is a good idea. Since the success rate of small businesses isn't great, I don't think it's worth the risk if you're not well positioned to take that sort of hit. Think about the worst possible outcome and figure out ways to mitigate that risk before thinking more about quitting.
Is there any way you could begin dabbling in your desired business? Obviously it really depends on the business, but perhaps getting into it at least a little bit will quell the desire to quit your day job.
I have some suggestions below, but, assuming your spouse is on board, I would pursue your alternative dream NOW. I've been in a situation where I was just trying to stick it out in a position, and it led me to develop horrible work habits that still haunt me (e.g., posting online when I really should be doing something else). I managed to escape a significant hit to my reputation, but I was lucky – mostly because I didn't yet have kids and could stay late if my procrastination caught up with me. If you're daydreaming at work/wasting time, people will notice, especially in an 8 person firm.
Alternatively, is your business something you can pursue on a part-time basis and could you negotiate a part-time schedule at your current job?
If you really can't quit or scale back right now, are there concrete steps you can take to move the business plan along? If not, can you take a class one night a week or make one lunch date a week? It helps me stay on task when I have something scheduled to break up the work routine.
If you are usually able to have weekends free from work, it might also help you to really make the most of them. I'm assuming that you don't like to spend much money on recreation if you're aggressively paying down debt, but I think it would help to plan out awesome low cost adventures with or without your kids so the weekends don't get eaten up by Target trips.
I have had some low points, including some lately. I just remind myself how lucky I am to have this job, which is truly a dream job, and about everything I want to provide for my kids. Forget the electric bill– I want a good neighborhood with great, safe schools. In LA, that costs a king's ransom, no joke. I want piano lessons, swim team, gymnastics, soccer in the fall, new basketball shoes, vacations, college tuition. In a world where everyone and their mother tells you to follow your dreams, love what you do, etc. (not to mention that you should be home with your kids instead of working), it takes a lot to stay the course.
"It takes a lot to stay the course." I agree with this wholeheartedly.
At the same time, I also think that nothing great every came from playing it safe…except of course, being safe.
I love LE cashmere. I've had some for 7-8 years now. They wash well. I'm not particularly easy on my clothes. I usually wait until they have the occasional 40% off one item sales. Even without it, the cost per wear is truly nominal.
Q: I got rid of my black blazer b/c it had gotten too shiny and am struggling to find a replacement. Something like the Gap 2-button blazer (but lightweight wool would also be OK). I tried a 6 regular and it was too big and they were out of other sizes that were close (4, 6P; I am a 6P at Talbots). Can't be too long — I'm 5-4 and high-waisted. Any thoughts?
I'll have to visit LE's site tonight!
I am so lusting after that Missoni cardigan it's not even funny. Must . . . maintain . . . shopping austerity month . . .
BRORA. I'll stop shouting now. But that's the place for cashmere.
Cosign. Lived in Notting Hill and developed a really problematic obsession/awesome Brora closet. LOVE BRORA.
PS–Lisa, I used to be your neighbor in Menlo Park. Small world.
My recent favorite source for cashmere is the J Crew men's section. They now make a men's slim fit that is cut nearly the same as their women's sweaters. (I wear the same size in J Crew women's sweaters as in men's slim cut, and I think they started making XS men's.) The extra plus of the men's sweater is that it costs less than the women's version.
How is the quality on the men's cashmere? I stopped buying J Crew women's cashmere a few seasons ago because it was grossly overpriced for the poor quality (pilling after one wear). In fact I hardly buy anything there anymore because their quality has deteriorated way too much while their prices have gone up.
My Lands End cashmere sweaters are more substantial and wear better than my Halogen cashmere sweaters. But Halogen has more colors and fits me a little better. When they need cleaning (about once a season), I put them in a lingerie bag and use the hand-wash cycle of my front-loader. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I use the fancy The Laundress wool and cashmere shampoo. Air dry on a sweater drying rack.
My Boden cashmere sweater is three or four years old and still looks brand-new.
Just bought the Saks one. Thanks for the tip!
I'm really intrigued by Everlane's business model but won't be shopping there as long as they top out at "large" which for them means 8-10.
I've had that black J. Crew cardigan for a few months, and I love, love, love it! It is incredibly soft and lightweight yet slightly warmer than my silk/cotton Banana Republic cardigan. Perfectly goes from day to night, and the 3/4 sleeves are perfect for the office.
Equipment cashmere sweaters are my favorite – super soft, never scratchy. I wear the Sloane crewneck style to the office often, and I really like the Asher v-neck for weekends (it's an oversized fit that looks great with skinny jeans). The quality is high; the sweaters really maintain their shape well after numerous wears. Basic colors rarely go on sale, but it seems like the Equipment web site offers a 20% discount on all stock roughly every quarter. For me it's absolutely worth spending the extra money on a basic I know I can wear again and again. I have also found them on sale at Forward by Elyse Walker, shopbop and Nordstrom.
+1 for Talbots-just bought several sale pieces there for $50 and my older pieces wear well, better than my ann Taylors. Nieman has been good as well in my experience rhough more expensive.
I bought a sweater from Poetry and it's gorgeous. Club Monaco also has a lovely selection of cashmere.
Land's End has nice cashmere sweaters that semi-regularly go on sale. My mom bought me one for christmas that I absolutely love. Plus, they tend to have more cuts to choose from, which is nice.
I agree that J. Crew tends to pill easily. However, the sales people at my J. Crew were very nice. They suggested using the Laundress sweater comb, which I've had good results with. Plus, they told me I was more than welcome to return anything I wasn't happy with.
Its SO hard to shop for cashmere. The flash sales that make cashmere affordable always end up being not as soft as you expect cashmere to be and I have massive buyers remorse. I had the most perfect cashmere sweater that got washed in the washing machine by mistake, ruining it. I've been on the hunt for the right replacement ever since… I'm excited for all the suggestions.

Should you bring a scarf? Will you lose the scarf?
It's 8 PM. It's snowing. You're wrapped up in your heated blanket. You're just about to press play on the first of many Netflix marathons of the weekend when you get the dreaded text: "Let's go out." At first, it's an easy decision. There's no way you're leaving the comfort and warmth of your bed. Suddenly, FOMO kicks in.
You remove your finger from the Play button and sigh deeply. Your eyes dart to the window to see that, yes, it's still snowing. It's time to decide. You could either melt back into your bed and potentially miss out on the inside joke that will last for years (remember how that happened in 7th grade and you still don't know what it means?) OR you could buck up, have a night of laughing and fun with your friends and risk losing your texting hand to frostbite.
You glance at your computer screen hoping for a sign and see the Friends logo is on the screen. Does this mean you should hang out with your IRL friends? Or is this to serve as a reminder that Phoebe, Rachel, Monica, Ross, Joey and Chandler will always be there for you even if you're not wearing pants? Your phone buzzes again. "Are you coming?" Oh, fine.
You begrudgingly switch off your heated blanket and stare blindly into your closet. It's full of sweaters that are too bulky to look cute and dresses that are dresses and it's Winter. You silently curse the first person who decided to wear heels in the winter as your grab you heeled booties, a flannel, a vest, thick socks, gloves, a scarf and a hat out of your closet. "We'll pick you up in 5!" your phone alerts you. It's a race against the clock to get your gear on. Now, you're sweating. The make-up you quickly swiped on is creasing. You actually can't wait to go outside because you're wearing 46 layers.
JK! It's cold. Like really cold. Why does the snow hitting your face feel like rocks? In the short 12-second walk to the car, your face is flushed and the sweaty hair you earned from getting ready has begun to freeze. As your hand reaches for the car door, you hope the warmth of your friends' greeting will warm you to the core.
You realize that your friends' greeting will never warm you like vodka does. It's not fur- lined, it's not down, it's not even fuzzy - but the booze blanket is the absolute warmest. So, at the pregame, take a shot if you want. Have another beer, if you want. This is the one season when your two-mixed-drink rule can be broken ... and it can be broken before you even get to the bar.
You've got your beer blanket on. It's suuuuuuper warm. So warm that your face is starting to get hot and you're questioning if you put on deodorant. You're cruising around the bar when you decide, it's time to remove some of your layers. Why did you have to wear three pairs of socks? Does the coat check check socks? You remove your coat, scarf, gloves, two layers of socks and finally you feel like you can enjoy the night. You're almost as snuggly and happy as you were in your bed.
But that was two hours ago. Now you can't find your coat and you can see someone drunkenly picking up your sock off the bar floor. One step out the door and you realize unlayering was a terrible idea. You wonder how that episode of Friends ended. But hey ... that night when you all went to the bar in the snow, made snow angels on the way to the car - that's something that'll always stick with you.

It's hard to imagine, but a drug that has recently been described as "a breakthrough for breast cancer treatment" almost did not see the light of day. Because of the huge costs incurred when developing a new drug, it's not uncommon for pharmaceutical companies to pull the plug on a new treatment before it has a chance to prove itself. In fact this was the case for Lipitor – used to treat high cholesterol – which Warner-Lambert tried to kill off before it emerged as a blockbuster.
Palbociclib has its origins in 1995 at Parke-Davis where a biochemist, Dave Fry, and a chemist, Peter Toogood, led the effort that identified the promising cancer drug. The key to the drug's success is its ability to block one phase of the dividing cell cycle, thus halting the growth of cancer. There are four distinct phases to cancer cell division: M (mitosis); G1 (growth); S (DNA synthesis); and G2 (growth). Palbociclib targets a protein called cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), a trigger that normally enhances the G1 to S phase, thereby enabling the suppressor gene Rb to act as an inhibitor (see diagram left).
Pfizer acquired Parke-Davis in 2000 and although palbociclib – known internally as PD-0332991 – showed great promise, progress stalled when Pfizer bought another drug company Pharmacia three years later. This acquisition flooded Pfizer's pipeline with new cancer drugs that competed for limited resources. Fortunately, palbociclib was resurrected by researchers outside the company. One of these was UCLA oncologist Dennis Slamon – whose earlier research had led to the breast cancer drug Herceptin – who tested palbociclin in combination with letrozole, a standard anti-oestrogen drug. The early results were encouraging and Pfizer got excited, too. That was five years ago.
Last week Pfizer submitted an early FDA application, anticipating that its Phase II clinical trial data will lead to full approval. This will be very good news for women with breast cancer, and of course for Pfizer too, with sales that could reach $3 billion a year.

If you're planning a photo shoot in which your subjects will be children, you might want to consider adjusting the gear you'd normally work with otherwise. If you plan to specialize in child photography, it's important to explore and weigh your equipment options before you start compiling a camera bag full of impractical additions.
Chiefly, you want to reduce your compositional technique to an almost robotic, routine operation as often as possible when it comes to working with babies and kids. Once your logistical routine is in place, you'll be able to establish a relationship with the young subject, something crucial in this particular niche. Since children have much shorter attention spans and patience, you will not have the privilege of focusing on your gear and fine tuning operational adjustments at the time of the shoot- you'll need to be talking to, communicating with and entertaining the children as much as possible instead.
A digital camera is probably the best choice for this field of work. You might also want to consider tethering it with a wireless communication setup so that it links directly to a computer monitor, allowing you to check out the photos on a larger screen as you're snapping them. If your clients are in the teen years, many will ask for your help with retouching blemishes they might have on the day of the shoot. If senior portraits or prom pictures are going to be a part of your workflow, you should probably familiarize yourself with an image-editing software as well in anticipation of this.

Fish Girl (Paperback)
By David Wiesner, Donna Jo Napoli
The triple Caldecott winner David Wiesner brings his rich visual imagination and trademark artistry to the graphic novel format in a unique coming-of-age tale that begins underwater. A young mermaid, called Fish Girl, in a boardwalk aquarium has a chance encounter with an ordinary girl. Their growing friendship inspires Fish Girl's longing for freedom, independence, and a life beyond the aquarium tank. Sparkling with humor and brilliantly visualized, Fish Girl's story will resonate with every young person facing the challenges and rewards of growing up.
David Wiesner is internationally renowned for his visual storytelling and has won the Caldecott Medal three times—for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and Flotsam—the second person in history to do so. He is also the recipient of three Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall, Sector 7, and Mr. Wuffles. He lives near Philadelphia with his family. www.hmhbooks.com/wiesner
Donna Jo Napoli is a distinguished academic in the field of linguistics and teaches at Swarthmore College. She is also the author of more than eighty books for young readers.
Spring 2017 Kids' Indie Next List -- "Inspired Recommendations for Kids from Indie Booksellers"
"Napoli (Dark Shimmer) and Wiesner (Mr. Wuffles!) create a plot that crackles, and Wiesner's graceful, classically proportioned artwork makes the story's fantastical elements clear and believable."
"A thought-provoking work that is not to be missed."
