Hawthorn midfielder Brad Hill charged..
Hawthorn midfielder Bradley Hill has been charged with assault.
The premiership player was allegedly involved in a brawl at a Narre Warren nightclub in January that left a 21-year-old man with facial injuries.
The Hawks released a statement, saying they had already discussed the matter and had decided no club sanction would be handed to Hill.
'Bradley has kept the club informed throughout this entire process,' Football Operations Manager Chris Fagan said.
'The leadership group has already met on this matter and has decided that no sanction will be applied at this stage.


Queen Elizabeth II's 97-year-old husband Prince Philip emerged "shocked and shaken" but unhurt from a auto crash that rolled his Land Rover and stirred a debate in Britain Friday about old age and driving.
The BBC reports the Duke of Edinburgh, 97, was driving a Range Rover and was pulling out of a driveway onto the A149 when the accident happened.
A police spokeswoman said: "As is standard procedure with injury collisions, the incident will be investigated and any appropriate action taken".
The duke has also made contact with the driver and passenger of the other auto, who were injured, and sent his "best wishes".
A palace spokeswoman confirmed he had been in contact with the occupants of the other auto involved in the accident - two women who were injured, and a baby.
Both women have since been released from the hospital.
Philip and the Queen have been staying at their Sandringham residence about 112 miles away from London, since the Christmas holiday.
On Thursday evening, the palace said the 97-year-old was uninjured in the incident. He was conscious but very shocked and shaken.
After dragging Philip from the vehicle, Warne said that the prince "stood up and was unharmed but was obviously very shocked". "He had other things on his mind, I'm sure".

Washington Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (HB 1775)
This law was last updated on Jan 24, 2019
This law is Anti–Choice
Co-sponsors: 17
Primary Sponsors: 1
Total Sponsors: 18
20-Week Bans, Later Abortion, Reporting Requirements
lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov
HB 1775 would prohibit a physician from performing or inducing an abortion on a fetus which has been determined to have a probable post-fertilization age at the point of viability, unless an abortion is necessary due to a fetal anomaly or medical emergency.
The ban would not apply if the pregnancy results from rape or incest.
The bill includes legislative findings based on junk science that a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks, although this bill is not a twenty-week ban.
The bill defines viability to mean:
"the point in the pregnancy when, in the judgment of the physician on the particular facts of the case before such physician, there is a reasonable likelihood of the fetus's sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures."
Except in the case of a medical emergency, the bill would prohibit an abortion from being performed or induced, or be attempted to be performed or induced, unless the physician performing or inducing, or attempting to perform or induce, the abortion has first made a determination of the probable post-fertilization age of the "unborn child" or relied upon such a determination made by another physician.
If an abortion of a fetus determined to be viable is necessary to prevent a serious health risk to the pregnant patient, the physician would be required to terminate the pregnancy through or by the method which, provides the best opportunity for the "unborn child" to survive, unless such a manner would pose a more serious health risk to the pregnant patient.
A physician who intentionally or knowingly performs or induces or attempts to perform or induce an abortion in violation of this provision would be committing a class C felony, punishable by imprisonment for up to five years and/or a fine of anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000.
Any hospital or health-care facility in which an abortion is performed would need to report all of the following:
The probable post-fertilization age of the "unborn child" and whether ultrasound was employed in making the determination, and, if a determination of probable post-fertilization age was not made, the basis of the determination that a medical emergency existed;
The method of abortion;
Whether an intra-fetal injection was used;
The age of the pregnant patient;
The basis of determination that the pregnancy was a serious health risk to the pregnant patient if the post-fertilization age of the "unborn child" was 20 weeks or more;
If an abortion is necessary to prevent a serious health risk, whether the method used was the method that provided the best opportunity for the "unborn child" to survive; and
Other demographic information that the department of health determines is necessary.
The reports would need to be maintained in strict confidence by the department, may not be available for public inspection, and may not be made available except:
To the attorney general or solicitor with appropriate jurisdiction pursuant to a criminal investigation;
To the attorney general or solicitor pursuant to a civil investigation; or
Pursuant to court order.
The Health Department would then be required to publish an annual statistical summary of all the reports for that year.
The department would be authorized to assess a late fee of $1,000 for each 30-day period that a report is overdue.

Q: hotkey/button to compile as necessary but NOT run (between F5, and Ctrl+Shift+B) In Visual Studio C++ :-

*

*F5 = compile as necessary + run

*Ctrl+Shift+B = build all open (loaded) projects , but not run
Example
If I have projects :-

*

*A1,A2,A3 and A4 : static library

*B : depend on A1,A2,A3 and A4  (set as StartUp project)

*C : depend on A1,A2,A3 and A4
Hotkey will do:-

*

*F5 = will build all A & B, then run B

*Ctrl+Shift+B = build all A & B & C, but not run

Question
What is the hotkey/button for : compile as necessary (A&B only), but not run ?
... or how to set Ctrl+Shift+B to do as mentioned?
Sorry, it is probably something very obvious.  I have searched it for a few years.

A: From the Build option in the top panel go to Configuration Manager (Build > Configuration Manager), check build checkboxes for project A & B only and uncheck unwanted projects (here it is C for your case). That might help your issue.

Well That Was Fun: Great Stirling Castle Run 2020
Cancel It Please!! - that was the cry from over a thousand runners when we woke up to the relentless rain & wind on Saturday morning.
But how glad are we all now that they didn't - what fun was had running through lots of mud & puddles getting battered from the rain & wind and then someone threw in some hills - well lots of hills.
Well done to all the runners, organisers & volunteers for their magnificent efforts in such horrible conditions.
Sounds weird & silly but that's the best fun I've had running in many years.
The Apprentice(s)
It's been a double Apprentice celebration week for us at Stirling Electrical Services.
Apprentices have always been at the forefront of our business development and while we do not employ apprentices every year we will always have at least one ongoing apprentice.
This week I received the fantastic news that our 4th year apprentice Craig had passed his electrical trade exam and then at the other end of the spectrum we welcomed our new apprentice Shaun to our team.
After four hard working years and a two day trade exam I was pleased with Craig's success and equally delighted to offer him an electrician position as we look forward to many more successful years together.
Fundraising Month
It's September and it's a full month of charity fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK.
Starting on the 1st of the month with my commitment of 11,000 steps each day for March the Month and ending by running the Great Scottish Run Half Marathon in Glasgow.
We are in the latter stages of employing a new apprentice at Stirling Electrical & Alarms and I am excited to open up another opportunity to join our team as an Electrical/Security Engineer.
If you have the correct work attitude, good customer skills and required technical ability we would love you to join our friendly team.
We have a permanent position available with an immediate start for 17th/18th Edition Qualified Electrician, preferably with Security System experience.
So if you are a qualified electrician and live in the Stirling, Alloa and Falkirk areas you can find out more including details of how to apply on our website.
Extra 15,000 Skilled Electricians Required
An article in our electrical trade magazine highlighted a new report that's estimates that up to 15,000 extra skilled electricians will be required in the UK over the next 5 years.
New technologies around smart homes, electric vehicles and Wi-Fi were amongst the main new services stated for increasing demand for skilled installers but it was the section on apprenticeships that caught my eye.
It was pleasing to read that an electrical apprenticeship is still a highly rated initial career move and that it was still evident for employers to receive a return on investment to employ apprentices.
Marathon Running
So in one week I will take part in the Stirling marathon, or as its been branded this year the Great Stirling Run. The event is now in its 3rd year and it's a scenic marathon starting and finishing in the City of Stirling while taking in the surrounding rolling countryside to the north of the city, passing through small towns such as Doune, Dunblane and Bridge of Allan where the locals come out in force to support the runners.
Now let me be honest from the beginning, I am no running expert, while I was actively fit playing football at a reasonably competitive youth level up until my late teens, for the next 16-17 years I let myself go, fed up with sport, giving no thought to exercising or what I was eating, I was just being consumed with work and business and as my business developed and grew and I became more office based instead of doing physical work my weight ballooned.
22 Years - Thank You
22 years ago today (8th October) my business life began with an electrical job at Smiths Restaurant in Stirling.
It's been a long journey since then with so many ups and downs and so many wins and losses where every day there is another lesson to be learned.
Thank you to all who have supported me and Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. (SES) over the past 22 years, especially my very supportive wife.
It's A Team Effort
Watching Europe regain Golf's Ryder Cup you cannot fail to witness the emotional scenes displayed by the winning Europeans.
Of course winning an event such as the Ryder Cup will always spark emotions from the winning team but I believe the success and especially the margin of victory for Europe over their opponents USA comes down to a major factor, which is that Europe play as a team.
Yes, in golf, football, rugby and any team sport to succeed at the highest level there is no doubt you require individuals with the highest skill and ability but individuals with the highest skill and ability is not necessarily always a good thing if they don't have the fire and commitment to fight for and help other members of their team.
You can relate to this throughout any team sport at any level from kids through to world class teams and you can also relate to this in business.
As an employer with a growing team of electricians ideally I require a team who can carry out as many of the different skillsets and services required from an electrician but I would be foolish to believe every single electrician on my team can carry out all the different skills and services required.
Training and guidance is provided to each individual for them to gain new skills over a course of time but I must initially work with my team around the capabilities of the individuals.
And while training and guidance takes place I will be working and reminding each individual that they are part of a team, that when one person wins and completes a job that the end customer is happy about then it is a win and accomplishment for us all - for our team.
We win together and we also pull together when required. Team members digging deep and helping each member of their team to succeed the same way as they would do so for themselves is the ultimate goal for leaders in team participation.
So in your own world of team's whether that be in sport, business or work what more can you do to help out another team member say solve that problem, move the project forward, complete that task, give them a helping hand or provide support and motivation at your next game or match.
One for All and All for One.
Oh, and what a brilliant team effort and victory - well done Europe.
My new podcast is now available where I will discuss business, fitness and family.
Hopefully I will provide some words of wisdom along the way.
The podcast is available to listen and subscribe to on a host of popular platforms including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Full details are on my new podcast page.
I admit it's taken me many years to realise but if you own a business or looking to progress your career this is the best investment of your time.

Nowhere Town
(This novel is nearing completion and is the 4th book in the Jake Rossiter and Miss Jenkins hardboiled mystery series.)
It's 1949, and Seattle PI Jake Rossiter is accused of murdering Ma Pugnetti, the female leader of Seattle's most notorious gang. The problem? Jake has amnesia. Worse, he's on the run in a stolen police car not knowing whether he killed her or not. Even worse, he's pursued not only by the cops, but by Pugnetti's gang of hoodlums. He can't do squat if he can't remember squat. Then again, he's Jake Rossiter, and he'll find a way through the convolutions of his memory and the convoluted mystery itself even if it kills him. And it may do just that.
Rat City was a Shamus Award nominee for Best First P.I. Novel of 2001.

An artist hoping to remind people of the 'true meaning of Christmas' has created a 20ft angel in Locking Castle.
David Manuel, from Weston, was inspired to create his display after he saw a similar piece in London's Regent Street last year.
The angel, which is made from a mixture of aluminium, copper piping and steel wire, weighs around 25kg and is currently hanging in the entraceway of Locking Castle.
More than 2,400 LED lights were used to illuminate the angel.
David, a committed Christian, says he wanted to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas by celebrating the holiday's biblical roots.
The angel, which took more than a year to plan, was constructed over the course of two months.
The artist described the impressive project as 'a joy to work on'.
David's work will be on display in Locking Castle Church, in Jasmine Way, until the end of Christmas.

Avant-Canada
On the Canadian avant-garde
Gregory Betts
Katie L. Price
Social media, for social justice
On Erin Wunker's 'Technological Subjects'
Lori Emerson
Note: above, a video of Erin Wunker giving a talk at Avant Canada: Artists, Prophets, Revolutionaries, a conference held at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario, November 4–6, 2014. Lori Emerson responds to Wunker's talk in the essay that follows.
The moment I sat down to write this response to Erin Wunker's talk "Technological Subjects: Framing McLuhan in the Twenty-First Century" delivered at the November 2014 Avant Canada conference, I caught myself beginning by half-consciously composing tweets instead of carefully crafted, scholarly sentences: "wishes she could time travel back to nov. '14 as she reads @erinwunker's provocative piece on McLuhan & social media." No, no … how about "grateful for the chance to time-travel back to nov. '14 — watching & responding to @erinkwunker's smart talk on McLuhan." And so on. The point is partly that, precisely as Wunker points out in her talk, "technologies create our relating and they do so quickly and profoundly," and we are all perpetually in the midst of shaping and being shaped by digital media writing technologies. The point is also that we're now living through a strange, accelerated, emergent, and flexible kind of temporality, one that makes it possible for me to watch videos of conference talks from over a year ago and feel as if I were in fact able to attend this conference I yearned to go to; to feel as if I were a respondent for one of the papers, and even to write a response to a paper that is, first, a response via Marshall McLuhan to work by photojournalist Rita Leistner that is also a response to McLuhan via the social media platform Instagram, and that is, second, a response via Leistner's work to a particularly troubling period in time on Twitter (that continues to this day). The circularity, the extent to which we move back and forward in time, reading ourselves into and out of each other and into and out of media, is astounding. And, if I'm understanding Wunker's paper correctly, the circularity is precisely the point. There's a porousness now — between us, between us and the media we're enmeshed in on a daily basis, and between us and institutional structures — that is not only difficult to see and track but that also demands we see ourselves as (sorry) always already impure and implicated.
Let me see if I can be more methodical and less infected by this circularity in my response to Wunker and in laying out what I see as so important in her talk.
She begins by talking about how she proposed a beautifully simple paper for this conference — one that would read particular instances of photojournalism through McLuhan — and about how, in the end, she could not write this paper because the complex reality of the time prohibited such a straightforward analysis. From there, her talk shifts to a discussion of the relevance of McLuhan's dictum that "all new technologies bring on the cultural blues, just as the old ones evoke phantom pain after they have disappeared" to, first, understand the tension between nostalgia for the old and celebration of the new in Leistner's Instagram photos of her time spent embedded with the United States Marine Corps, First Battalion, Eighth Marines. Leistner has written that even at the time of taking these iPhone photos she felt as if she were "photographing a memory that wasn't a memory [she] actually had." Wunker echoes this sentiment when she describes the strange collapse that exists on Instagram between fiction and reality, past and present, subject and object; she says these photos don't capture an object so much as they act as poetic, McLuhanesque probes into the difficulty of tracing inside and outside, figure and ground, each a part of a "resonating relationship."
But the most provocative turn in Wunker's talk comes when she shifts her discussion of photojournalism via Instagram and McLuhan to that other, only apparently text-based social media platform: Twitter. After observing that Twitter functions much like a photographic image generator in its supply of a never-ending stream of image-texts fit into a rapid succession of regular, rectangular rolling snapshots, she reminds us of the McLuhan dictum she opened with to consider the following: in the wake of the latest round of cultural blues brought on by the misogynist backlash against feminism that's made itself most visible through vile hashtags such as #gamergate, #antifeminist, #feminazi, #sjw, #cuck (and I don't recommend researching these hashtags too thoroughly), what constitutes an effective intervention? Is any attempt on Twitter to thwart further gender- or race- based violence by appropriating hashtags or staging crowd-sourcing projects only an enactment of yet more cultural blues? If Leistner's photographs are the ideal, images self-consciously poised at the boundary of any number of resonating relationships, what might be the equivalent on Twitter?
After listening to Wunker's talk, I think one solution she points to — simply and brilliantly echoing Donna Haraway's work on "Situated Knowledges" from the late 1980s — is that perhaps we should concern ourselves less with tit-for-tat tactics and more with situating ourselves on social media, as beings utterly entwined with social media. Taking account of the way we exceed any boundary is a strategy that does not naively limit itself to trying to win an unwinnable debate at the level of pure content, but instead disrupts the entire structure supporting such "debate" by operating on a more wide-seeing register where form and content, medium and message, sender and receiver are constantly shaping and informing and implicating each other. As Haraway herself puts it, if we have, finally, "no clear and distinct ideas," then our work instead is to track how the technologies we use are themselves "skilled practices" which should in turn lead us to ask ourselves: "How to see? Where to see from? What limits to vision? What to see for? Whom to see with? Who gets to have more than one point of view? Who gets blinded? Who wears blinders? Who interprets the visual field?" If we can answer these questions, maybe, just maybe, we'll have a cure for the cultural blues.
How can media archeology inform literary studies?
Make it reappear
Why archive dead media?

Adjacent to the house where I once lived, with its four residents and one other volunteer, sat a private cottage where Joe lived in a world of his own making. The idiosyncrasies of this world formed around the ceaseless churning of Joe's brain as it reframed his memories through the lens of his particular paranoias and neuroses. Like a tangent, Joe always ran adjacent to what was around him.

Nanni Balestrini's Blackout is a requiem for the generation of 1968, whose hopes and ideals were exhausted by the time of the poem's composition in 1979. The original impetus for the poem was the blackout in New York on July 13, 1977, that lasted for twenty-five hours and drew widespread media attention due to countless episodes of violence and looting.

What exactly is a dryer vent?
It's a pretty common misconception. Most people think that the dryer vent is the lint filter. This is false. In reality, it's hosing or ducts that leave the back of the dryer and travel through the walls of the house. It can even go through the cement foundation of some homes!
Have you noticed it taking longer and longer to dry one load of laundry? And are the results worse each time? Have you noticed if the grill or piping has lint or debris building up around the sides? Is your dryer hot to the touch and overheating? Do your clothes smell funny after being dried? Or is your energy bill increasing for seemingly no reason? It could be as simple a solution as a dryer vent cleaning.
What will happen if I go for too long without a dryer cleaning?
The fire department in Mountain Home, AR might not be happy. It is recognized as a national fire threat and needs to regularly be maintained. Also, your wallet will thank you as it take less energy to run. It has one of the highest outputs for electricity in your home, more than most other appliances. Lower electricity bill means everybody's happy. A cleaning will also improve your dryer's lifespan, and cut down on allergens like mold and mildew growing in the vents.
At least once per year. There are several factors that should be taken into consideration, though. For example, How old is the dryer? Is it over ten years old? How often do you use the dryer? Is your dryer over five feet long? Is it a full sized dryer of a stackable dryer? Does the dryer have multiple bends or any elbow joints? And have you ever had a bird cover over your dryer vents?

New clues in the labyrinth of international telework
6 Oct 2022 Jesús Merino
The Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems of the European Commission has published a guiding memorandum on international telework and the Social Security system applicable in cases in which services are provided remotely under the framework of the European Union.
International telework continues to be the great unknown in our legal system, as it currently lacks specific definition and regulation. The uncertainties as to its extension are numerous. However, for some time (especially since the COVID-19 pandemic), there have been claims that are allowing us to outline international telework and its relationship to the regulations governing Social Security.
One of these claims is by the European Commission which, through its Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems has issued a guiding memorandum for the application of Regulations 883/2004 and 987/2009 on the coordination of Social Security with the international telework regime.
What is particularly innovative is the definition introduced by the memorandum of international telework, given that no national or international regulation has described it until now. Essentially, the European Commission considers international telework as work: (i) performed outside the employer's premises or place of work at which professional activities normally take place, (ii) performed in a Member State other than that in which the employer's premises or place of work is located and (iii) uses technology to connect to the company or working environment, as well as to clients, in order to perform the tasks assigned by the employer or client, in the case of independent contractors.
To complete this definition, the Commission has established other terminology limits: the concept only covers the same activities performed by the worker and telework is subject to an agreement between the worker and the Company, in accordance with the applicable national legislation.
In addition, based on the principle of lex loci laboris (general rule that the Social Security law is that of the place in which the services are provided), the memorandum determines the exceptions to the principle that may be applied under the framework of international telework (interpreting articles 12, 13, 14 and 16 of Regulation 884/2004). The memorandum therefore establishes the following guidelines:
The exception to lex loci laboris allowed by article 12 of Regulation 883/2004, thus maintaining the application of the Social Security legislation of the country of origin in the country of destination, in the case of temporary displacement, may be interpreted to cover cases of temporary international telework. In such cases, telework cannot form part of the normal provision of services and must be temporary. The Commission notes as examples cases in which the worker temporarily teleworks from another Member State to facilitate the care of a family member or to focus on a specific project.
The memorandum also deals with cases in which international telework is performed in more than one Member State, in other words, forms part of a habitual and permanent system of providing services, under a prior telework agreement. These are cases commonly known as multi-country work, in which a worker may provide services on several days per week or month in another Member State.
In such case, the Commission clarifies the applicable Social Security legislation, stating that it may continue to be that of the State of residence, if a substantial part of the activity is conducted therein. The criteria of 25% is still used -of the majority of the activity -as a reference to evaluate whether such services are substantial. This criterion must be analyzed with certain flexibility, according to the specific case at hand.
In all other cases, the memorandum recalls the possibility established in article 16 of Regulation 883/2004 that Member States may reach a specific agreement to apply exceptions to the general rule of lex loci laboris, which could provide solutions for special legal situations such as the provision of services under an international telework scheme.
A specific agreement may be reached between two or more Member States for particular cases or groups of people. Nevertheless, this is still a recommendation, as it is the authority of the Member States.
Although the memorandum is orientative, it may serve as a guide in the international telework labyrinth (at least in relation to the coordination of Social Security). It will be interesting to see how our Law 10/2021, of July 9, 2021 on telework fits together with these guidelines, from a legislative and judicial.

Farm energy
Reservoirs and lakes offer floating solar space
Farm lakes and irrigation reservoirs could host renewable electricity generation, according to Berkshire farmer and energy entrepreneur Mark Bennett.
Mr Bennett has just built the UK's first floating solar farm on a new 60m-litre irrigation reservoir at his Sheeplands Farm near Wargrave.
The 200kW array was commissioned last month and features 800 Trina panels mounted to Hydrelio high-density polyethylene floats used in marine buoys. These join together to form a floating pontoon covering almost an acre of water.
"We initially looked at ground-mounted systems, but realised it didn't make sense to take out agricultural land when there's a large area of 'dead space' on the reservoir. I did some research and came across this floating technology," says Mr Bennett.
A specialist soft fruit company rents the core farmland (100ha) on a long-term arrangement and extracts irrigation water from the reservoir as normal. Reduced-rate electricity from the panels is sold to the fruit grower on a power purchase agreement (PPA) to power four irrigation pumps, with surplus electricity exported to the grid.
Six-year payback
The project cost £250,000 and was financed through a loan from the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC). Mr Bennett estimates annual returns from the Feed-in Tariffs (Fits) will be worth £18,450/ year for 20 years (this assumes 90% efficiency), plus there will be an additional income of £24,000/year from electricity sales.
The project could pay for itself within six years, he suggests. "Even if we weren't selling electricity on a PPA and were just exporting to the grid at 4.7p/kWh, we'd still be looking at a total income of about £30,000/year."
See also: Consider tax before signing to solar leases
Planning permission was achieved in four months, although Mr Bennett expects the process would be quicker now as his system was the first of its type in the country. Installation took just under a week, as no groundworks were required.
Better efficiency
The French firm that developed the floating PV system, Ciel et Terre, claims the cooling effects of water increase efficiency over rooftop or ground-mounted systems of the same size. Mr Bennett says this performance uplift happens mainly in hot conditions, when a 12-14% increase in output is possible.
Covering the surface of reservoirs with panels also reduces evaporation losses and algae growth, he says.
Ciel et Terre says its system can withstand winds up to 118mph and changes in water levels of up to 6m (20ft).
The area covered by the array must be no larger than the base footprint of the reservoir, so if the water dries up, the system will sit on the reservoir floor.
Opportunities for others
Mr Bennett has signed up with Ciel et Terre to distribute its technology in the UK through his new company, Floating Solar UK.
Systems can be bought outright, or suitable lakes and reservoir surfaces can be leased out for £2,000-4,000/year (depending on site characteristics and grid connection), with the opportunity for the landowner to buy electricity at a 40% discount to conventional grid supplies. Systems of 50-100kW are the smallest currently feasible on water, says Mr Bennett.

What I Learned from Robert and About Him
Perspective September 2, 2019
Blossom: Me and My Bro – Lifetime Connection
I have only one brother, Bernard Basley (Bernie). Two years my senior, as far back as I can remember, Bernie has been the proverbial "big brother," moving with me through the stages of my life. I am almost positive that the melancholia I have when reading Michelle Obama's book, Becoming, is the result of the relationship she describes with her big brother. This bro-sis connection is one I have never taken for granted, and now that he lives so far away, in Thailand, I find myself feeling blessed to have the friendship we have sustained.
The Basleys: Bernie on Dad, Me on Mon, and Grandma in the rear. I call this our Ventriloquist Photo.
Bernie and I grew up on Chicago's South Side in the '50s. We were a nuclear family, with two working parents and a grandmother who sometimes lived with us. We were fortunate in life circumstances to have everything we needed; we owned our house, our car, and never went hungry. We both attended Catholic school. I bought the dogma; Bernie never did. Maybe that is why he was sometimes devilish in his behavior and used to work my nerves.
The thing is my mouth has always been bigger than his, which he never failed to let me know, calling me "Big Mouth." While I was the dancer, singer, personality of our household, Bernie was always quiet and unassuming. In other words, sneaky! He asserted his authority during the games we played, cheating his victim – me. He completely redesigned Monopoly to end and win every game. Afraid of spiders, I would be threatened by his crawling fingers on the floor to terrify me. He would also allow me to be "It," so he could chase me, his target, with pillow attacks. Believe it or not, these minor incidences were all I could conjure up; there were so many more happy memories created.
Bernie was my most reliable playmate. During the '50s, most outside games were gender-specific. However, when we heeded our call after dusk and entered our home, we were a united front. The Mickey Mouse Club held a counsel on our TV and nightly, Bernie and I would become the characters we viewed. Of Disney's Spin and Marty, Bernie was Spin, and I was Marty, (so much for being gender-specific). Bernie collected comic books. No matter how sacred his superhero books were to him, he would let me view them. He taught me to spin a top and to yo-yo. While we traveled back and forth to day-camp, Bernie made sure I was safe. We went away to camp in Michigan annually, and I was so proud to know my big brother was somewhere around. During my teenage years, this connection was life-changing for me.
Our Englewood neighborhood had changed. Most of the people we knew as children had moved further south to better neighborhoods. As the homeowners gave way to renters, the kids were different than those with whom we grew up. Bernie started to travel weekly to visit the Hyde Park,(HP), community. He would come home and tell me about HP, which seemed idyllic. When I turned 12, Bernie took me skating to the Hyde Park YMCA. He took me away from the impending lifestyle of a changing area and introduced me to an integrated artistic community, Ivy League clothing, and kids with smiles on their faces. I always say my brother rescued me.
I was my brother's shadow. I even lied about my age and school status to be able to be with him and our new found friends. Bernie never betrayed me. Instead, he guided me to be careful with boys and allowed me to go to every party and event with him. We were so close that one of our HP high school friends excitedly said to me, "I have the perfect guy for you." When he pointed him out, I said, "That's my brother, Bernie!!!" Bernie modeled what I learned to expect from an upstanding boy – be kind, dress well, work hard, and treat women with respect. After the HP days, Bernie and I began to drift apart.
Post teenage years
Our disconnect would last throughout his post-high school years. I still admired my brother, but he was now working and anticipating marriage, which both were foreign to me.
Married and divorced, Bernie traveled and then enrolled in Columbia College. Bernie was developing his skills with a camera and began to become interested in media arts. Following his lead, I entered Columbia and was in the Free Theater there. Introduced to film and music at an early age, we were both attracted to the arts. Bernie pursued his passion for media production, and moved to Los Angeles, where he was Stage Manager on many TV productions, including the Motown 25th Anniversary, with Michael Jackson moonwalking!
Grown-up things
Bernie and I both lived adventurous lives, with travel, the arts, marriage, and children in common. However, the most crucial connections were made during caregiving. When our dad was ill, Bernie stepped up and stayed the course with Dad until I could get there to take him off life support. He did the same with me, as I stayed the course with Mom. My most memorable connection was when my husband, Bob, was ill and made his transition. Bernie was always close to Bob, so it was no surprise that he cared enough to come to look after us. Flying in and out of LA, Bernie was with me every step of the way. He helped me lift Bob, went with me to his radiation treatments, calmed my fears, and when Bob took his final breaths, both Bob and I had our "brother" with us, holding his hand.
Bernie did the same for our "sister" Pat, when her brother, Fred, was transitioning. Several months after both men left this realm, Bernie traveled with his three sister-friends, Pat, Nedra,Chrisje, and me to St. Maarten. I don't know many men who could put up with us, but he did, and we put up with his antics.
Us, happy to finally see Hamilton
Three years later, after the death of our mother, Bernie decided to visit, and then to live in Bangkok, Thailand. Initially, I felt abandoned and devastated, but through an interim stay in the States to welcome his new daughter and my visit to Thailand, I affirmed the closeness we have always had as brother and sister. We talk weekly and still share the same taste in clothing, art, décor, music, and politics, (during our visit to Chicago, we saw Hamilton), and importantly, we share our love of family, friends, and hope for the world.

Prior to that he served as the Assistant Director for WGN-TV from 1974-78. Bernie has owned an art gallery. He is married to Sarin; and has two children, Imanuel and Garnet.

Language is the most important process in people s lives either if it's written, spoken or non-verbal. People would not be able to socialize or interact without language. Across the centuries just as people built bridges to link cities,people used language interpreters and translators in order to built bridges between other cultures. What exactly translation is? Sonia Colina claims that Translation may refer to an activity or a product and the field that studies both activity and product. Translation is the process of transferring the meaning of written texts of one language to another language. There is a lot of confusion between "translators" and "interpreters", but the two terms are very different in many ways. Translators take a written text in one language: e-mail, articles, newspapers, books or academic papers and translate it into another language by writing it down on the paper. It implies time and study of the texts while the interpreters work together with other people either virtually or directly or over the phone, internet or public meetings. The great differences between translators and interpreters is that a translation can take days, weeks or even months depending on the length of the text while interpreting is a process carried out in real time. It is very difficult and very challenging for interpreters to do their job because they must be very fast in both languages and precise, they have no time to consult the dictionary, a colleague. Interpreters have great responsibility especially when they interpret in a political context, one mistranslated word can issue great political wars. Translators on the other hand are more relaxed being able to stay in their own environment, have breaks, and use their dictionaries or grammar books. I explained therefore the difference between translation and interpretation, but I wonder is Translation a process which appeared in the current century or it had existed in the past as well? The process of translating or decoding started centuries ago Along the history we notice that trades were made through people who were able to speak their one language but also another language.The Bible which was crucial in the 8th century managed to be translated by some of the most well-known people: Martin Luther,St.Jerome William Tyndale etc. People who did not have access to education could not understand the religious services spoken in Latin. Therefore Translation was necessary in order for ordinary people to understand the holy service and to have a more personal knowledge and approach towards God. With the spread of Christianity, translation started to gain another role which was the spreading of God's word. The Bible of the "chosen people" was originally written in Hebrew.When the Persian empire dominated the Eastern Mediteranean basin, Aramaic became the official language of the area and for religious reasons it was necessary for the Jewish to have the Torah OR Pentateuch (the first 5 books of the Bible) translated into the common language from traditional Hebrew.The result was Targums which survived after the original Hebrew scrolls had been lost. By the mid of the 3rd century a.d. Greek was the dominant language and Jewish scholars started to translate the Hebrew religious text into that language.Septuagint became the Greek version of the Jewish Bible. The zeal of Christianity needed more translators of both the Old and New Testament into:Coptic, Ethiopian,Gothic and Latin. Early translators>

Beth Howland, Company's Original Amy, Dies at 74
The actress was known for her role as Vera Louise Gorman on the TV series Alice.

Beth Howland recording "Getting Married Today" in the documentary Original Cast Album: Company.
It was reported yesterday that Broadway veteran Beth Howland died on December 31, 2015, of lung cancer. She was 74. Her husband, actor Charles Kimbrough, refrained from announcing her death earlier in keeping with her wishes, which also included requests for no funeral or memorial service.
On television, Howland was best known as clumsy waitress Vera Louise Gorman on the sitcom Alice. She made her Broadway debut in 1959 as Lady Beth in Once Upon a Mattress, followed by roles in Bye Bye Birdie, High Spirits, Drat! The Cat!, Darling of the Day, and the original production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's Company, in which she originated the role of Amy. She reprised the role, and her performance of Amy's signature song "Getting Married Today," for 1993 concert performances at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach, California, and the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center. Howland also performed with the 1968 hit off-Broadway musical Your Own Thing, a musical version of Twelfth Night.
In addition to Alice, Howland's screen credits also include appearances on Mary Tyler Moore, Eight Is Enough, The Love Boat, Murder She Wrote, and a number of other TV series. She and actress Jennifer Warren also earned an Academy Award in 1989 as executive producers of the documentary You Don't Have to Die, about a 6-year-old boy's successful battle against cancer.
In addition to her husband, Howland is survived by daughter from her first marriage to Michael J. Pollard, Holly Howland.

A Lebanese man carries an injured girl away from a car bombing in the suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon Hassan Ammar/AP
This App Tells Loved Ones That You're OK After a Bombing
A student living in Paris got sick of trying to contact her family back in Beirut whenever there was a bombing there. So she made an app for that. By William Brennan
Will Brennan,
By Will Brennan
[CORRECTION: This article originally stated that Hassan is working with the International Crisis Group. She works with International Crisis Watch.]
When Sandra Hassan created the I Am Alive app, her intention was mostly dark humor. A 26-year-old graduate student in Paris, Hassan had gotten sick of worrying about family and friends whenever she heard news of a suicide bombing in her hometown of Beirut. A detonation on January 21, in the same neighborhood where a car bomb had exploded just three weeks earlier, spurred her to action. In what she describes as an "expression of discontent," Hassan developed an app that allows users, with one touch, to tweet a reassuring message to their followers: "I am still alive! #Lebanon #LatestBombing."
The app quickly caught on: within a month, it was downloaded more than 5,000 times. In addition to cultural commentary, it has provided a much-needed service to people who live in areas targeted by terrorists—and to those who care about them. The moments following a suicide bombing are, after all, among the worst times to make a phone call. Networks jam. Getting sent to voice mail induces dread.
"It's the same cycle each time," Hassan says. "You have to rush to your phone or Facebook or Twitter to try to make sure that everyone you know is okay. It's a horrible feeling." On the ground, the trilling of victims' phones becomes an eerie score to the aftermath.
Hassan now offers hashtags for other countries and allows users to post their statuses to Facebook. She also realized that the app might help in all kinds of crises. To that end, she is working with the nonprofit L'Observatoire International des Crises (International Crisis Watch) to develop a version for use in situations from natural disasters to mass-transit accidents.*
In the meantime, Hassan says she's gotten e-mails from many people who are using the app "in much more peaceful ways." Members of one jet-setting family told her that they use it to let one another know when their planes have safely touched the ground.

Intensive Groundwater Use Control Areas >
Hays IGUCA
In response the apparent wasting of water from domestic wells, Chief Engineer David Pope, at request of the City of Hays, initiated the intensive groundwater use control area process in February 1985. A hearing was held in May 1985, the IGUCA order was issued in July 1985 and amended in August 1985. The order defined a control area and imposed three main provisions: (1) that all domestic wells shall be registered with the office of the chief engineer, (2) that the use of registered water wells shall not be subject to mandatory provisions of any water conservation plan adopted by the City of Hays and (3) that the chief engineer may ban, or allow the City of Hays to ban, the use of wells to water lawns, gardens, trees, shrubs and similar outdoor vegetation during the hours of 12:00 noon through 7:00 p.m. daily from June 1 through September 30 inclusive each year.
Pursuant to K.A.R. 5-20-2, each of the eight IGUCA orders in place before July 1, 2008 must be reviewed in a process that includes a public hearing conducted by the chief engineer. While a brief summary of the Hays IGUCA has been provided below, the IGUCA order is also available and should be referred to for detailed conclusions and provisions.
DWR is conducting a formal review of the July 3, 1985 order establishing the Hays IGUCA. The purpose of the review is to determine whether conditions still exist within the area that require regulation in the public interest and whether the public interest requires that the IGUCA designation be continued, and if so, whether there should be any adjustment in the IGUCA's provisions.
DWR is currently developing the first draft of the Hays IGUCA review.
February 26, 1985: IGUCA proceedings initiated by the chief engineer
Proceedings requested by the City of Hays on February 15, 1985
Private domestic water wells were being used for outside discretionary activities
Apparent preventable waste of water was occurring
May 30, 1985: Public Hearing
July 3, 1985: IGUCA order issued
All domestic water wells within the control area shall be registered
Use of registered water wells within the City of Hays shall not be subject to the mandatory provisions of any water conservation plan adopted by the City of Hays
Use of unregistered water wells within the City of Hays shall be subject to any water conservation plan adopted by the City of Hays and approved by the chief engineer
The chief engineer may ban the use of any water well within the IGUCA boundaries to irrigate lawns, gardens, trees, shrubs and other outdoor vegetation during the hours of 12:00 noon through 7:00 p.m. daily from June 1 through September 30
Chief engineer may amend the IGUCA if deemed in the public interest
August 29, 1985: Order amended
Bans on afternoon watering have been issued in 1988 through 2015 and 2017.

Israel unleashed its heaviest shelling of Gaza neighbourhoods on Thursday in what might be a final push against Hamas before a ceasefire, and Washington promised security guarantees that could bring a deal closer.
Hamas official Ayman Taha called the street warfare, in which Israeli shells struck a United Nations compound and a media building, an attempt to force the group to accept Israel's terms for a truce. A hospital was also hit the fighting.
At least 15 Palestinians were killed in the city, medical officials said.
In Cairo, an Israeli defence official held talks with Egyptian mediators who have been negotiating with Hamas officials on a ceasefire. He was to report back to Israeli leaders later in the day.
Addressing a main Israeli concern, United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Prime Minister Ehud Olmert by telephone that Washington would sign an agreement on measures to stop Hamas from rearming after a ceasefire, Olmert's office said.
"The secretary of state noted that the United States would be prepared to assist in solving the issue of smuggling and to sign a memorandum of understanding with Israel on the subject," Olmert's bureau said in a statement.
Israel has said that a ceasefire must ensure that Hamas can no longer smuggle in weapons through tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border as well as end the group's rocket attacks on its southern towns.
Hamas wants Israel, which launched its Gaza offensive on December 27, to withdraw its troops and lift a long-standing blockade on the Gaza Strip.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said its compound, where up to 700 Palestinians were sheltering, was struck twice by Israeli fire and three staff members were injured.
Thick smoke rose from its food and fuel depot.
UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon called it an "outrage". Meeting Ban later, Olmert apologised but said the shelling was prompted by fire from Palestinian gunmen at the compound.
"It is absolutely true that we were attacked from that place," Olmert said in broadcast remarks.
Al-Quds hospital and a building housing the offices of Reuters and other media offices were also hit. A doctor was quoted as saying that the hospital was hit by Israeli fire. Abu Dhabi TV said an Israeli aircraft shot a missile at the media building.
Two journalists were wounded but no one was reported hurt at the hospital, where its administrative offices were set ablaze and patients moved in panic to the ground floor, seeking safety.
About 25 rockets fired from the Gaza Strip hit southern Israel on Thursday, wounding six people, police said.
The Palestinian death toll from the air-and-ground offensive has risen to at least 1 076 and there were more than 5 000 wounded, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. A Palestinian rights group said at least 670 of the dead were civilians.
Thirteen Israelis have been killed—10 soldiers and three civilians hit by Hamas rocket fire since Israel launched on December 27 a military campaign it said was aimed at ending such salvoes.
Dozens of terrified residents of neighbourhoods near the Gaza city centre were seen fleeing on foot.
Thousands more huddled in homes that provided precarious shelter while explosions tore through rubble-strewn streets clouded by smoke.
"It is a catastrophe," one woman said, walking quickly away from the area and carrying a child in her arms as two other children ran behind her to keep up.
A senior Western diplomat said Israel appeared to be trying to make last-minute gains on the ground before a truce could be imposed.
"It's a classic Israeli strategy," the diplomat said.
Diplomats said Egypt's proposals centred on a phased-in ceasefire, starting with a lull to let in aid, followed by an Israeli pullout and border crossing openings.
In talks in Washington and Cairo, Israeli officials have said they wanted security guarantees to fall under an American "umbrella" and include Egyptian acceptance of US and European advisers and technology to help combat smuggling through the border tunnels, diplomats said.


It is difficult to pick out which field of science has been most impacted by the theorems Emmy Noether formulated more than a century ago.
"In every field of science, they're now absolutely fundamental," says Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach, a mathematics professor at École Polytechnique in Paris. And yet, despite their broad applicability today and their initial recognition from other great contemporaries such as Hilbert, Klein, and Einstein, Noether's theorems languished in obscurity for nearly 50 years after their publication in 1918.
Kosmann-Schwarzbach is helping to remedy that through her book The Noether Theorems: Invariance and Conservation Laws in the Twentieth Century, which delves not only into the mathematical and physical repercussions of Noether's work, but into its historical context as well. She presented an overview of her findings at a colloquium at Perimeter in December 2018.
As a mathematician, Kosmann-Schwarzbach's interest in Noether was first piqued in the late 1980s. While writing a short paper on Noether's work, she learned that Noether had discovered not just one but two revolutionary theorems. Later, one of her students at École Polytechnique asked for an essay topic. She suggested he translate the article from Noether's native German to Kosmann-Schwarzbach's native French. Armed with a thorough translation, she could fully immerse herself in Noether's work.
Noether's results, she found, were brilliant and broadly applicable. In the simplest terms, she explains, Noether showed that any system with a symmetry (and symmetries are rather ubiquitous in the natural world) also comes with an associated conserved quantity.
Why, then, did they fly under the radar for so long? "It's a good question, and I think we don't know," replies Kosmann-Schwarzbach. "We find traces of propagation through the Soviet Union, which is kind of surprising, but we don't know why her work was ignored for such a long time." Perhaps, she muses, scientists in Western Europe and America didn't care to read an article written in German. Some may have been averse to citing a woman or a Jewish person.
Kosmann-Schwarzbach is hesitant to pin the temporary disappearance of the theorems on the fact that Noether was a woman. Certainly, she says, Noether's life would have been different if she had been a man – for one thing, she would have faced fewer obstacles in obtaining paid positions. But she points out that Noether's later work, in algebra, became quite widely known and celebrated.
 A feature of a system that remains unchanged under a transformation. Kosmann-Schwarzbach gives the example of rotating a tree about its axis (its trunk): a symmetrical tree would look the same as you spin it around.

The Lower Keys real estate market has had seasonal highs and lows this past year, but the beginning of 2011 brought a steady climb.

Living in Big Pine Key
Big Pine in particular is one of the largest and most interesting Islands in the Keys. It has a population just over 5000 and as of Sept 2005-there were homes starting at $340,000. As you get closer to the water or buy a home on a canal, the prices rise accordingly. But there are quite a few different developments, mostly of single family houses, and some are pricier than others. Water depth affects prices, and some areas have about 15 inches and some have 3-4 feet. Obviously this means you can have a certain kind of boat in some areas that won't work in other areas. It depends what you're looking for. The shallower areas have more direct and private access to a lot of the wilder and more pristine parts of the Island and adjacent backcountry. They may also (but not reliably) be less exp... 04/13/2010
Fl Keys Big Pine "Metro"
The Lower Keys or what I'll call "Big Pine metro", includes the islands of Big Pine, Little Torch and Big Torch Key, Ramrod and Summerland, Cudjoe and Sugarloaf. Each Island is unique in its environment and boating access, which does translate down to home prices. More on that below. When you enter the Lower Keys, you will see right away that it is much more laid back. Generally, the further you get away from Miami, the more the Bahamian feel. And to some extent, particularly on Big Pine and its attached No Name Key, and a couple of other spots in the Lower Keys, that sensibility is well-preserved despite the rapid development of the very limited remaining land available for new building. Parts of Sugarloaf preserve this same feel, and residents of the Torches and Ramrod would claim tha... 04/13/2010
