Santo André was founded on 18 September 1967, by people that wanted to have a team in their city representing the professional football of the Municipality.
The first Santo André directorship was elected on 4 October 1967, and was composed by the following members: Newton Brandão, the President; Wigand dos Santos, Antonio Ferreira dos Santos and Hildebrando Mota Carneiro, the vice-presidents; Nelson Cerchiari and Durval Daniel, secretaries; Matheus Guimarães Jr. and João Manha, the treasurers.
The first official match of the club took place on April 8, 1968, at Américo Guazzelli stadium in a friendly match against Santos. Pelé did not play, but watched the game and participated in the festivities. Santo André won 2 - 1.
In 1984 Santo André were invited to play in Série A based on their State Championship performance. The team reached the third round (ranked 10th overall), but were not invited to compete the following year as the criteria changed.
Santo André next made headlines in 2003 when the team finished as runners-up to Ituano in Série C and thus were promoted to Série B.
In 2004, Santo André won their first national title when they defeated Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil final, gaining the right to compete in the following year's Copa Libertadores de América. Their first season in Série B was over before it started as the team was docked 12 points for playing an ineligible player. This meant at the time of the Copa do Brasil success their point tally on the local tournament was negative. The team recovered to comfortably avoid relegation.
In 2008 Santo André were runners-up to Corinthians in the Série B and thus earned promotion to Série A. After a hard-fought campaign Santo André were relegated back to Série B on the last day of the season.
The 2010 Paulista State Championship proved to be a highly successful campaign. The team finished second in the table behind Santos after a mid season seven match winning streak put them in a commanding position. In the playoffs Santo André overcame Grêmio Prudente, before facing the all conquering Santos team who had scored nearly 100 goals already in all competitions. The first game ended in a 3-2 victory for Santos despite Santo André having a man sent off. The second match on 2 May 2010, proved to be an epic encounter as Santo André leveled the tie in the first minute, before being pegged back. A thrilling game finally ended 3-2 to Santo André (5-5 on aggregate) and saw three red cards given to Santos, and one to Santo André. Despite hitting the post twice, Santo André could not break down a professional Santos rear guard action. Santos thus won the title due to their superior overall record.
Santo André slipped into free fall and were relegated to Série C in 2010 and almost relegated to the Série D in 2011.

Suriname is een Nederlandse film uit 2020 van Danny Leysner die in première ging op 22 februari 2020.

Verhaal

Winston Righter (Rodney Lam) zit aan het bed van de zojuist overleden Ma Jot Bellamie (Jetty Mathurin), zijn pleegmoeder die hem en zijn zus als kind in huis heeft genomen. De rest van de film is een flashback op de gebeurtenissen voorafgaand dit overlijden. Winston Righter, minister voor Natuurlijke Hulpbronnen, doet een gooi naar het presidentschap als bekend wordt dat huidige president Da Silva zich niet verkiesbaar stelt voor de herverkiezingen. Hij is aanwezig op een feest van Cleo Bellamie en haar man Milton, een politieagent. Cleo is de biologische dochter van Winstons pleegmoeder en wil zich eveneens verkiesbaar stellen voor het presidentschap. Ma Jot Bellamie - die wegens ziekte niet lang meer te leven heeft - lijkt echter meer support voor Winston te hebben dan voor haar eigen dochter en noemt Winston consequent "het beste paard van de stal."

Een oude bekende van Winston uit het criminele circuit, Virgil (Josylvio), komt ter ore dat Winston zich beschikbaar stelt als presidentskandidaat. Hij vindt dat Winston hem nog geld schuldig is voor zaken uit het verleden, en probeert met hem in contact te komen via Winston's neef Steven (Cyriel Guds) en diens vriendin Nadia (Fajah Lourens), die een drugsdeal met enkele Colombianen op proberen te zetten die niet echt lijkt te lukken. Virgil belooft hem bij deze deal te helpen als Steven een ontmoeting met Winston voor hem regelt. Als Steven en Nadia later een feestje geven waar Winston ook aanwezig is, verschijnt Virgil ook op het feest en vraagt Winston om zijn geld. Winston wijst hem af en Virgil verlaat het feest.

Als Winston later zijn zus Connie (Winonah de Jong) en de kinderen van hem en zijn ex (Liza Sips) meeneemt op een uitstapje, wordt hij beschoten door Virgil en enkele van zijn bendeleden. Connie wordt hierbij doodgeschoten en uit woede pakt Winston zelf een geweer en gaat hij achter Virgil en zijn bendeleden aan. Hij wordt hierbij zelf in zijn arm geschoten. Later, als zijn beveiligingsmannen twee van de bendeleden vasthouden, executeert Winston hen uit wraak voor Connie's dood. Winston's kinderen, die in de auto zitten, zien deze executie met eigen ogen gebeuren. Nadat Winston in het ziekenhuis wordt geopereerd vlucht hij met zijn ex en de kinderen naar een buitenhuis aan de Surinamerivier. Omdat Winston denkt dat zijn neef Steven er iets mee te maken heeft, verbiedt hij hem om nog langer contact met hem op te nemen en verbiedt hij Steven ook om naar de begrafenis van Connie te komen.

Uit boosheid dat hij niet bij de begrafenis aanwezig mocht zijn, neemt Steven contact op met Virgil om de deal met de Colombianen in gang te zetten. In ruil daarvoor wil Virgil Winston hebben. Steven wordt gegrepen door twijfel, maar Nadia legt druk op Steven om met Virgil in zee te gaan. Ook blijkt Ma Jot Bellamie in het complot van Virgil te zitten. De deal wordt daarom doorgezet en er wordt een ontmoeting met de Colombianen afgesproken. Steven kiest later uiteindelijk toch voor Winston en schiet Nadia dood nadat hij hun relatie beëindigt. Milton, die het onderzoek leidt naar de geëxecuteerde bendeleden, vermoed dat Winston iets met de executie te maken heeft en wil hem daarvoor vervolgen om zo te zorgen dat zijn vrouw president kan worden. Als hij dit door wil zetten naar een arrestatie wordt hij echter vermoordt door corrupte politieagenten. Winston en Steven komen vervolgens opdagen bij de deal met de Colombianen en laten de Colombianen Virgil's bendeleden doodschieten en Virgil zelf in elkaar slaan. Winston geeft vervolgens het genadeschot en vermoordt Virgil met de woorden "Voor Connie."

Op het einde van de film is de scene te zien van het sterfbed van Ma Jot Bellamie, waarbij ze haar betrokkenheid bij de gang van zaken bekent. Winston neemt haar ademhalingsapparaat af, en drukt vervolgens een hand op haar mond om haar te laten stikken. Het blijkt dat Ma Jot Bellamie niet zelf overleden is, maar is vermoord door Winston uit wraak voor haar betrokkenheid bij de acties van Virgil.

Trivia
In eerste instantie werd Imanuelle Grives gecast voor de rol van Nadia. In juli 2019 tijdens het festival Tomorrowland in Boom (België) werd Grives echter aangehouden door de Belgische politie. Ze bleek meer dan honderd xtc-pillen, 20 gram cocaïne, een kleine 10 gram ketamine en enkele hoeveelheden MDMA en amfetamine bij zich te hebben. Ook op de Airbnb-locatie waar de actrice verbleef, werden drugs aangetroffen. Zij zou zich met haar actie hebben voorbereid op een rol in een drugsfilm. Haar rol werd vanwege de arrestatie overgenomen door Fajah Lourens.

PAGE 16A HERITAGE FLORIDA JEWISH NEWS, OCTOBER 10, 2014 As the calendar turns, Netanyahu says Israel 'doing better' despite 'harsher reality' By Shlomo Cesana, Gonen Ginat, and Amos Regev JNS .org In his office, next to photos of his wife and family, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ne- tanyahu keeps a portrait of Theodor Herzl. "He was a prophet. A mod- ern prophet," Netanyahu says, further naming Zionist pioneer Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Israel's first prime minister David Ben-Gurion, and Likud party founder and former prime minister Menachem Begin as equally important Zionist leaders. In an interview with Israel Hayom ahead of Rosh Hasha- nah, Netanyahu applies those past leaders' experiences to the present day. "The main quality a statesman should possess is foresightand subse- quently the ability to properly navigate an ever-changing reality," he says. As the Hebrew calendar turns to the year 5775, the prime minister shares his perspective and strategy, and analyzes the changing reali- ties in the Middle East. Israel Hayom: Is Israel doing better or worse than it was doing on the eve of Rosh Hashanah last year? Benjamin Netanyahu: "We are doing better while facing a harsher reality. The reality around us is that radical Islam is marching forward on all fronts. This reality poses a challenge for us, as well as/or the rest of the world. One of my duties as prime minister is making sure the world un- derstands that ourwar against these Islamic organizations and states, as well as against the Islamic Republic of Iran, is their war as well. "We are actually doing better now because on one of those fronts, Hamas, has received a debilitating blow, the likes of which it hasn't received since it seized control of the Gaza Strip. We targeted each of Hamas's capabilities and we set it back years--its rocket stockpiles, by killing 1,000 terrorists, destroying terror tunnels, demolishing terror towers, and crippling infrastructures Hamas spent years building. "I believe we achieved the operation's objective, mean- ing achieving lasting peace and quiet by re-establish- ing deterrence via dealing [Hamas] a massive blow. What happens if they try again? They will be dealt a doubly debilitating blow--and they know it." Why didn't Israel vanquish Hamas? "The answer to that question is very complex and it entails a variety of considerations. One of those considerations is a spatial consideration, which cannot be ignored. We have Hamas in the south, al-Qaida and the Nusra Front in the Golan Heights, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Islamic State in the east; and above all we have Iran, which has abandoned neither its support of some of these terrorist groups, nor its plans to acquire nuclear weapons. "I have decided that the best way to tackle these problems is to seriously undermine Hamas in Gaza, but refrain from getting dragged in there. Oth- erwise, we would have found ourselves fighting not a 50-day war, but a 500-day one, and the heavy toll would have included more than human lives, but other areas as well. We would have had to face the question of what to do with the seized terri- tory; there would have been an international price to pay--and all ofthatwouldn't have yielded a much better result. "I think the difference between a good commander and a bad commander, is that a good commander knows how to achieve the declared goals for a lesser price. We would have ended up with the same result, only with a much heavier price, and I don'twant to elaborate further." How influential was the IDF in preventing a wider ground operation in Gaza? "Nothing was prevented. We used combined judg- ment-mine, the defense minister's, and the chief of staff's, and eventually that of the cabinet members. I won't comment on cabinet meetings, but I can say that within the cabinet there was, most of the time and when it came time to decide, unanimity about the nature of operations. "[Operation Protective Edge] was executed according to an outline and objectives I had set. The first order of business was targeting the terror tunnels in the south. That was a massive aerial strike. Then came preparing international public opinion, via conversations I had with prominent leaders... I made it clear to them that unless a cease-fire was struck, we would have to launch a ground operation against the tunnels, something that was not ac- ceptable at the time. "When we had completed uncovering the tunnels, I made the decisionto pull the military out of [enemy] fire range, because I thought it was pointless to leave the sol- diers there, and that the right thing to do was to resume the aerial strikes. The thing that guided me, and proved right, was that at the end of the day, the [aerial] campaign would trump [Hamas's] attrition, be- cause our firepower is greater than theirs. That's also what happened--they agreed to our demand for a cease-fire." With the negotiations re- suming in Cairo, both Is- rael and Hamas have their demands. What is your "red line"? "The goal is to make it clear that we are focused solely on two issues: ensuring our se- curity interests, as well as the ability to send humanitarian aid and supplies that would assist in rebuilding the ruins, in favor of Gaza's population. Naturally, we have demands of our own, and we have the necessary tenacity to reject any demands the other side might make that we find unacceptable. We have been doing so successfully." What should Israel do next about the broader threat of � radical Islam? "Fight it everyway possible, and simultaneously explain the 'ideological' aspect. We don't necessarily have to say that [Iran and Islamic State] are operating from the same command center, but rather that they have a common ideology:'Whowill be the next caliph? Who will rule a world dominated by radical Islam?' "Such a world has no room for Jews, seculars, homosexu- als or minorities, andwe know where they believe women belong. This is a serious threat because they are sending their tentacles all over the world-- the United States, Europe, Australia, Russia, China, and Africa--this is a global threat. Marc Israel Sellem/POOL/Flash90 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Western Wall on Jan. 22, 2013. "I believe that my role as the prime minister of Israel is to make it clear that the threat we face is one the entire world faces. We understand that, but many worldwide don't understand this threat." There are those within the Likud party who say that "leadership cannot grow in your shadow," which is why some have chosen to leave the party. What is your response? "So that's what they say. I can tell you that the public is saying otherwise, as is the impression among Likud members. Party members are very enthused, very sup- portive, And you know what? Today, after Operation Protec- tive Edge, I have the support and appreciation of those who didn't vote for me. That's the truth I have encountered. "I compare the support today to that of a year ago, be it from the public or with in the Likud, and I'm stronger than ever bothwithin myparty and among the general public." Does this mean you will be seeking another term in office? "Yes, alsolutely." Have disagreements be- tween the U.S. and Israel turned from just disagree- ments into a real crack in the relationship? "No. I think the relation- ship between Israel and the United States is based on solid foundations, and at the end of the day, large parts of the American public feel a deep affiliation with Israel. The difference is like nightand day compared to the situation in Western Europe. That stems from historical, political, cul- tural and many other reasons. "There is a deep bond between Israel and the U.S, and every administration subscribes to that. It is a deep connection. Only recently the Senate passed a resolution declaring Israel a major stra- tegic partner, and Congress appropriated $235 million in [defense] aid [to Israel]. These are the markings of a very deep bond." What is your plan regard- ing Israel's standing in the Middle East?  "We're talking about ce- menting and advancing Is- rael's power. The changes leading Arab nations have undergone have led them to view Israel not as their traditional enemy, but as a partner against three radical Islamist threats: the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, al- Qaeda and its offshoots, the likes of Islamic State and the Nusra Front, and the radical Shiites, who are sponsored by Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah. "Can this realization trans- late into a more open relation- ship that further promotes a responsible, sober and safe diplomaticprocess? Onlytime will tell. It's worth exploring." Are you saying that a new alliance has been formed between Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel? "That's taking things a bit far. But aword to the wise: you saw exactly how various [Arab] nations reacted [favorably] when we mounted a forceful response against Hamas and Islamic Jihad." What is your message to the Israeli public for the new year? "We have weathered a chal- lenging year... We've been able to stop the infiltrators' phe- nomenon from Sinai--rivers of illegal migrants were about to flood the county. That prob- lem has been" solved, and we are removing those who have entered Israel illegally. This year alone 6,000 infiltrators were removed. This problem, which preoccupied all of us just a year ago, no longer resonates as loudly. "We have also developed our economy and withstood regional upheavals, the likes of which this region has not seen since the fall of the Ot- toman Empire. "I was glad to see the resilience, strength, and bravery our people have demonstrated. Our younger generation, IDF soldiers, they have proven themselves as a wonderful generation, a heroic generation. "I wish all of us a happy new year. A safe year. I will do everything in my power to make it a quiet year as well." This interview was original- ly published by Israel Hayom, whose English-language con- tent is exclusively distributed by JNS.org. By Eli E. Hertz Myths & Facts Palestinian Arabs have concentrated many of their terrorist attacks on Jews in Palestinian terror in the City of Peace Jerusalem, hoping to win the city by an onslaught of suicide bombers who seek to make life in the City of Peace unbear- able. But this is not a new tactic. Arab strategy to turn HANDYMAN SERVICE Handy man and General Maintenance � Air Conditioning � Electrical � Plumbing � Carpentry Formerly handled maintenance at JCC References available STEVE'S SERVICES Call Steve Doyle at (386) 668-8960 Jerusalem into abattleground began in 1920. Unfortunately, Arab leaders often turn to violence to gain what they were unable to achieve at the negotiating table. When talks broke down at Camp David in 2000, Palestinian Arab lead- ers unleashed the al-Aqsa Intifada, which amounted to a full-blown guerrilla war against Israel. It began the day before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, when Arab mobs hurled rocks from the Temple Mount onto Jewish worshipers praying at the Western Wall below. That rock attack turned into a steady campaign of terrorist attacks. As the prim- ing powder for the Intifada, Palestinian leaders incited Palestinians and Muslims throughout the world with fables that falsely suggested that Jews began an assault on al-Aqsa when Ariel Sharon made a half-hour visit to the Temple Mount during tour- ist hours. The truth is that Palestinian's plans for warfare had begun immediately after Arafatwalked out of the Camp David talks. Why do Palestinians focus terrorist attacks on the City of Peace? Because Palestin- ians, despite their rhetoric, fully understand Jerusalem's symbolic and spiritual signifi- cance to the Jews. Suicide attacks on public buses and cafes, malls, and other crowded sites in the heart of the city since the 1993 Oslo Accords, are designed to make life hell for Jewish Jerusalemites. Atrocities like the February and March 1996 bombings of two #18 buses that killed 26 people and the August 2001 bombing of a Sbarro pizzeria that killed 15 (including five members of one family), are part of an ongoing 120-year-old battle that Arabs have waged in op- position to Zionism. In April 1920, a three-day rampage by religiously incited anti-Zionist Arab mobs left six dead and 200 injured in the Jewish Quarter. The attackers gutted synagogues and ye- shivot and ransacked homes. Arabs planted time bombs in public places as far back as February 1947, when they blasted Ben-Yehuda Street, Jerusalem's main thorough- fare, leaving 50 dead. This was all done before the establishment of the State of Israel. In the 1950s, Jordani- ans periodically shotat Jewish neighborhoods from the walls of the Old City. And after the city was united in 1967, Arabs renewed their battle for the city by planting bombs in cinemas and supermarkets. The first terrorist attack in that renewed battle dame with the 1968 bombing of Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda, the open market, that left 12 dead. The plain facts about Palestinian Arabs behavior clearly demonstrate that they have forfeited any claim to Jerusalem, the City of Peace.

The Indian Ocean was a British lake at the start of the Pacific War, but this quickly changed. The destruction of Force Z and subsequent fall of Singapore exposed the Indian Ocean to raids by Japanese naval forces. The British responded by transferring significant heavy forces to Ceylon, but these were mostly older, obsolescent ships — all that the British could spare from the struggle in Europe and the Atlantic.
As it turned out, the British and Japanese refrained from a showdown in the Indian Ocean. The British could do little more than defend India, while the Japanese hesitated to commit to a long campaign against the British while an active U.S. Pacific Fleet remained at their backs. The Japanese staged a major carrier raid in the spring of 1942, and destroyed much shipping, but turned back after failing to bring the main British fleet to battle.
As a result, the British were able to continue shipping troops and equipment to the African front around the Cape of Good Hope, and to ship oil from the Iraqi fields back the other way; but they were unable to seriously threaten the Japanese position in the Netherlands East Indies until quite late in the war.
Following the collapse of Allied resistance in southeast Asia, the Japanese Navy decided to stage a carrier raid on British positions in the Indian Ocean. The strategic thinking behind this operation was rather muddled. Yamamoto had originally pushed a plan to seize Hawaii, but when detailed study showed that this was beyond the resources of the Navy, the Combined Fleet staff worked up an alternate strategy of seizing Ceylon so as to drive Britain completely out of Asia. However, Germany expressed little interest in a combined effort against south Asia, and the Japanese Army was more interested in finishing off China and preparing to move against Siberia. The Japanese Navy scaled its plan back to a major carrier raid, which was rather pointless given that there were now no plans for any amphibious landings and the Far East Fleet posed no real threat. Nagumo sailed with five fleet carriers and their escorts from Staring Bay on 26 March 1942.
Following the destruction of Force Z, the British had rushed five battleships and three cruisers to Ceylon to defend India. Though the battleships were obsolete World War I ships, the fleet was now led by a first-rate commander, James Somerville. By the time he took command, on 28 March 1942, the Far East Fleet consisted of the five battleships, eight cruisers, two modern and one ancient aircraft carrier, fifteen destroyers, and five submarines. That same day, intelligence reported the sortie by the Japanese into the Indian Ocean. Somerville was well aware that his small carrier force was no match for Nagumo's task force, and he put to sea immediately with the intention of trying to lure the Japanese into a night action where his battleships would presumably give him the advantage.
Three days of searching failed to turn up the Japanese force, and Somerville was forced to take his fleet to Addu Atoll to replenish their fresh water supply. (His old battleships had balky fresh water condensers for the boilers.) Somerville also sent the small carrier Hermes and two cruisers back to Colombo, the Hermes to embark her aircraft (which had been left behind in the rush to clear the harbor) and the cruisers for much-needed dockyard work.
Unfortunately, the Japanese were still in the area. Nagumo's force was spotted south of Ceylon, and Somerville rushed back to try to engage. Meanwhile Nagumo launched a massive raid against Colombo that found few worthwhile targets. The British lost 31 aircraft and the Japanese nine. However, by the time the strike force had landed and rearmed, scout planes from Tone had spotted the two British cruisers making for Colombo. They were sunk in short order.
The British located Nagumo's force later in the day and attempted to close for a night engagement. However, Nagumo headed east to avoid contact. The next morning, the roles were reversed as the British fled to the west to avoid a carrier strike. By April 6 the Japanese had given up on the British fleet and moved to attack Trincomalee. Base facilities were severely damaged, and Hermes was sunk along with escorting destroyer Vampire when they returned prematurely to the harbor. The Trincomalee radar gave warning of the raid, and for the first time in the war Nagumo's air groups suffered more casualties than they inflicted: 24 Japanese aircraft were lost, versus 11 British.
The British counterattacked with nine Blenheim bombers. These approached from the rear, in a blind zone of Hiryu's experimental radar, and dropped all their bombs before the Japanese fighters could react. None of the bombs hit, and five of the bombers were subsequently shot down.
While these operations took place, Ozawa with Ryujo and six cruisers sank 23 merchant ships in the Bay of Bengal.
Somerville now decided to retreat to the east coast of Africa, abandoning the eastern Indian Ocean to the Japanese. He was unaware that Nagumo had already set course for Japan for a much-needed refit.
Carrier Strike Force (Nagumo) Also described as Kido Butai ("Strike Force"). The aircraft strengths here are nominal values. Actual strength was likely reduced by unreplaced combat and operational losses.
Kaga was in Japan with engine trouble.
All aircraft counts for Colombo are lower limits.
Yamamoto intended to station a powerful cruiser-destroyer force in Burma to carry out a commerce raiding campaign against the British in the Indian Ocean while the Japanese Navy carried out its Second Operation Phase against the Americans. These plans were dropped following the landings at Guadalcanal and the cruisers redeployed to participate in the campaign to retake Guadalcanal.

DEMO: Artists' Laboratory

Gone are the days of mourning a great dancer's retirement from New York City Ballet. Now, such an occasion can bring experimentation, broad collaboration, the unboxing of creative tendencies. We expect interesting things from Wendy Whelan, who takes her leave after this season to further her collaborations with young choreographers. And look at Damian Woetzel, who runs the Vail International Dance Festival and who brought his project, DEMO, to Guggenheim Works & Process this past week.
He ran the show like a consummate professional, speaking eloquently about the project's simple mission: "Things I Like," following organizing principles such as science or musicality. Then he gathers like-minded (that is, open minded) friends who happen to be stellar artists, be they dancers, musicians, poets, scientists. Then he combines them together in short performances, creating individual nuggets strung on a common cord.
It helps that his friends happen to also be superstars. The evening began with a duet by Fang-Yi Sheu, perhaps the finest performer of Martha Graham's oeuvre in the company's long history, and Herman Cornejo, a current rock star of ABT, standing with his back to us, emanating warm energy in that magical way he does. They performed Sheu's Pheromones to Philip Glass' pensive Façades, tracing one another's auras with their faces or palms, increasing in amplitude and speed until they tumbled across the stage in artful heaps.

Sheu joined Lil Buck, jookin's premier attraction (hampered by a sprained ankle contained in a walking boot), after he improvised a solo to Claire Chase (a MacArthur fellow) on platinum flute, playing Edgard Varèse's fitful, at times shrill music. While it was game of Buck to even perform—an ankle injury caused him to bow out of last week's Fall for Dance al fresco opener at the Delacorte—his rippling arms and robotic head offered little new. But when Sheu boldly braced herself upside-down on the chair on which Buck sat, and planked her body across his lap, the interest ratcheted up several notches.
Some musical segments pushed the form both structurally and geographically. Sandeep Das, on tabla, took up a self-imposed challenge of following a 15-beat phrase cut in half: 7.5. He tapped it out on his tabla while Woetzel egged him on, clapping heartily if not 100% of the time on the unconventional count. Cristina Pato played the Galician bagpipe, evoking music deriving from countries close to the equator, and less the upright Scottish mode (although Woetzel immediately began his Union Jack march when she mixed a few bars into her piece). She returned to play the piano while Logan Frances Kruger of the Limon Company danced a Mazurka excerpt, emphasizing weightiness and circular musicality.
Fairchild had begun rehearsals on Monday for An American in Paris, which is slated for Broadway. He and Woetzel had thrown together a rendition of "Ballin' the Jack," from a video of Gene Kelly. No doubt Fairchild recalls at times the athletic, jazzy Kelly, even in the most classical of repertory. Here, he was harnessed by the small, fan-shaped stage, but we got a sense of his exciting musical theater potential. And it's conceivable that he could continue on Broadway long after his departs the acute technical demands of ballet. Or, he could easily slip into work by, say, Lar Lubovitch, who choreographed the duet from Concerto Six Twenty-Two, danced at the Guggenheim by Fairchild and Cornejo. While Cornejo's preternaturally organic movement style is more naturally suited to the looping, fluid style, both men exude the quiet star power that characterizes Lubovitch's dancers.
The duet completed the last portion of the evening—on the theme of Monumentum, or remembrance—rounded out by a performance of Stravinsky's desolate, fractured Elégie by Johnny Gandelsman on violin, poet Elizabeth Alexander reading three vivid selections, and Chase playing Du Yun's An Empty Garlic (excerpt) on bass flute—as she described it, a big piece of plumbing. She will play the full work at The Kitchen in the near future.
The evening had the feel of an artist's salon, despite the absence of the previously billed Carla Korbes and Tiler Peck, and some performances were more rehearsed and polished than others, but you could imagine the ideas floating about, colliding, mixing, producing new ideas, with a little coaxing and orchestration by Woetzel, flourishing splendidly in his said retirement.

To understand the messages they're recieving and how they relate to the case.
Be interested in detective work.
Why do police use psychics for detective work?
When all your efforts to achieve your objectives become unsuccessful, you turn to super powers, the occult, and the psychic. This happens not only with the 'weak' individuals, but also with the organizations, including the secular government's all- powerful security agencies. When the super sleuths of the police departments fail to zero upon the accused, they turn to psychic detectives or a psychic investigator for help (though there may not be any official sanction) and quite often they do succeed in catching the rogues and solve the intractable cases. It so happens that the some of the psychic detectives are gifted with the uncanny super powers of 'seeing' through the obscure. Psychics like John Edward, Sylvia Browne and all of the psychics at Psychic Readings have inherited the sixth sense from their ancestors and began exhibiting their talents in their early childhood.
Books on psychics are replete with 'true' stories of clairvoyants. The one most current about the official use of psychic detective in solving a criminal case goes back to 1845 when a juvenile criminal confessed his crime. The fact that the psychic did inLeed have the sixth sense and was not merely resorting to guess work has been well documented. Then there is the famous story of Jeanne Dixon trying to warn the White House about the assassination of John Kennedy.
Another popular book about psychic detectives is gilda joyce psychic investigator written by Jennifer Allison.
Noreen Renier is another well-known psychic investigator. She has been invited to speak to the ace FBI sleuths and has helped unravel hundreds of knotty cases not only in the United States but in other countries as well. This testimony speaks volumes about the capabilities of the psychic detectives. There is, however, a lot of fact and fiction each supported by irrefutable arguments about the capabilities of the psychic detectives, but you have to be very careful before taking any decision about who you finally select.
It is known that psychics have the power to gain information from ways that no ordinary can. A psychic detective is a psychic. They are the same but with different purpose. The hometown psychic that everyone loves uses his power to help individuals with their dealings while psychic detectives on the other hand, still using the same psychic abilities, help police catch law benders.
Psychics have the ability to see things that had happened. This ability can help police have insight on what really happened. Some psychics also have the ability of mediumship in which allows them to communicate with the departed. Psychics can receive information that no ordinary eyes can see. They have the ability to come up with theories that the police may have missed.
Like any psychic reading, psychic detectives only provide guidance. Of course, their statements are not admissible in court but they can spark ideas in the minds of the police. These ideas are like stepping stone to the truth. The police know that they may seem incompetent when they start asking psychics for help but this cannot take away the fact that psychic detectives have the capability to do so.
All psychics can be detectives in their own right but to avoid confusion, the term psychic detective is used to define psychics that use their ability to help the police. Psychics have the ability and when used for the common good then everything will fall in their proper places. There is nothing wrong in asking for guidance whether it is as big as catching criminals or as simple as explaining personalities as long as the seeker knows the limitation of psychic abilities. The police can ask for a psychic detective's help as long as they will still look at the situation as rational as possible.

With python-dbusmock you can easily create mock objects on D-Bus. This is useful for writing tests for software which talks to D-Bus services such as upower, systemd, ConsoleKit, gnome-session or others, and it is hard (or impossible without root privileges) to set the state of the real services to what you expect in your tests.
Mock objects look like the real API (or at least the parts that you actually need), but they do not actually do anything (or only some action that you specify yourself). You can configure their state, behaviour and responses as you like in your test, without making any assumptions about the real system status.
You can use this with any programming language, as you can run the mocker as a normal program. The actual setup of the mock (adding objects, methods, properties, etc.) all happen via D-Bus methods on the org.freedesktop.DBus.Mock interface. You just don't have the convenience D-Bus launch API that way.

Do Irish superheroes actually sound Irish? Why are Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons funny? How do political cartoonists in India, Turkey, and the US get their point across? What is the impact of English on comics written in other languages?
These questions and many more are answered in this volume, which brings together the two fields of comics research and linguistics to produce groundbreaking scholarship. With an international cast of contributors, the book offers novel insights into the role of language in comics, graphic novels, and single-panel cartoons, analyzing the intersections between the visual and the verbal.
Contributions examine the relationship between cognitive linguistics and visual elements as well as interrogate the controversial claim about the status of comics as a language. The book also argues that comics tell us a great deal about the sociocultural realities of language, exploring what code switching, language contact, dialect, and linguistic variation can tell us about identity – from the imagined and stereotyped to the political and real.

Senior Health Coverage is confusing so Understanding insurance can be challenging, but it is important. One way to start learning more is to read through all the fine print and gain a basic understanding of insurance jargon. You might be surprised at what kind of senior health coverage is or isn't available during your research.
Supplemental Health Plans are great if you are like the majority of the population over the age of 65, then you are already all too aware of how impossible it would be for you to have any medical coverage at all if Medicare didn't exist. There are so many great advantages to having Medicare that they are just too long to list out.
However, there are some instances that Medicare doesn't cut it for participants.
Supplemental Insurance For Medicare helps with the additional costs mentioned above there are other costs that may be associated with your medical care that Medicare will not pay for. There are expenses that can be associated with a hospital stay or services that Medicare will not cover. If you have to travel and find lodging, you may need counseling, help with home recovery, outpatient services, and other expenses that can add up quickly and Medicare will not cover these expenses. Supplemental Medicare Plans are Arguably the most important benefit of purchasing Medigap is the ability to budget for healthcare expenses. Most seniors are on a fixed income. It can be extremely difficult to budget for unknown expenses two, three or ten years down the road. Even though you may be in good health now, your health will likely start to decline over the years. If you only have Medicare, you will be required to pay 20% of your healthcare expenses.
Medigap by Medicare which is a federal program designed to provide health insurance for those 65 and older, as well as people with disabilities. This social insurance program offers all members standardized benefits with Part A covering hospital care and Part B covering outpatient medical care. There is also a Part D plan which covers prescription medications through private insurance companies. Qualified citizens have the option to enroll in these Medicare plans and receive the standard benefits given. A monthly premium is required for each part, with some parts requiring separate monthly premiums. Because Medicare only covers a portion of your healthcare costs, you are still responsible for copays, deductibles, and your month premiums. Some participants opt to enroll in Medicare Supplements, which act as a secondary insurance coverage.
Medigap Plans are easy if you know the questions to ask.
Once on Medicare you may be looking for some added security to offset your cost of medical care. This is exactly what Medigap plans are designed to do. With the cost of everything, including medical care and pharmaceuticals, going up in cost it is necessary to find ways to protect your budget Medigap Insurance may be a term you are not familiar with, but I bet you have heard of Medicare supplemental insurance. These are the same thing. It is designed to fill in the "gaps" left by your Medicare coverage. If these gaps are left unfilled they could cost you a significant amount of your budget if you should find you have a serious medical condition or require hospitalization. Medigap Insurance Quote can be confusing to decide which supplemental policy would work best in your situation. In fact, there are ten standard supplemental policies named by alphabet letters A through N, excepting H, I and J. That's a lot of policies to read through! And while the U.S. Government pays for your Medicare premium, you would be responsible to pay the premium on a supplemental policy.
Medigap Insurance Plans are perfect if you are over the age of 65, chances are you are on Medicare. While Medicare offers adequate coverage for a variety of services, it still leaves gaps in coverage. This can add up to you paying a large amount of money out of pocket to cover your healthcare expenses.
Medicare Supplements are for the thousands of people who are now or soon will be joining Medicare. As you find yourself looking at Medicare you realize you are going to have to pick one of the Medicare supplements as well. What these supplemental policies do is fill in the gaps in your Medicare coverage.
Medicare supplemental quotes, commonly referred to and QUOTED as Medigap, is an important tool to help you manage your healthcare expenses during retirement. Each of the ten Medigap policies—A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M or N—are standardized in the United States, with the exception of Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin. This means that if you no matter what state you live in or what insurance company you purchase the plan from, you will receive the exact same coverage for the corresponding plan. The prices are not standardized, however, making it all the more important to obtain more than one Medicare supplement quote and compare each of them carefully.
Medicare Supplement Plans for people continue to work and receive insurance from their employer, others choose to retire and begin to receive Medicare benefits. Depending on your specific circumstances, you may be able to receive your Medicare benefits at an earlier age than the standard 65 years. Whatever your case may be, however, your Medicare coverage may not cover everything that you need it to cover. Just like many other insurance plans, Medicare pays a certain contracted amount to your doctors for the services that they perform.
Medicare Supplement Plans Comparison are a great tool if you know anything at all about Medicare, then you are probably aware that Medicare does not cover all health costs and prescription costs that seniors have. To assist Medicare patients offset the enormous and rising cost of healthcare; there are supplement plans available to cover all the gaps that Medicare coverage fails to provide them.
Medicare Supplement N When it comes to supplemental Medicare policies, there are fourteen plans named A through N. Sometimes they are referred to as gap plans, each offering different coverage to fill in the gaps of Medicare. It might be overwhelming at first to realize not only will you need Medicare, an insurance plan that may be unfamiliar to you, but that you also might need a supplemental policy. With fourteen supplements to choose from it can be difficult to make the best decision. It is important, though and reading through the fine print may benefit you as you make the decision. Medicare supplement N is the newest policy and can offer great coverage with lower premiums.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Premium for those nearing retirement something you may be considering is how your insurance coverage will change once you leave your job. With our current economic distress, there may be no surprise that big corporations are greatly reducing, and even eliminating in some instances, their retirement benefits. What can that mean for you? Well, if you're among those who may be left without the retirement benefits you were counting on, you may find yourself in a quandary of sorts.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance Costs may vary for example different Medigap policies are labeled with the letters A-N; however, Plans E, H, I and J are no longer offered. You will instead need to choose A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M or N. The most popular is Plan F as it offers the most comprehensive coverage. After the deductible is met, Plan F covers the hospital co-pay, the first three pints of blood, Part B coinsurance and $140 of the annual deductible, skilled nursing facility (SNF) daily co-pay, hospice pay, Part B excess charges, as well as medical coverage outside of the United States. Of course, the more comprehensive the plan, the more expensive the premium. Plan F also offers the same benefits with a higher deductible, making it more affordable for many seniors.
Medigap Policies are typically enrolled in when you turn 65 or a few months prior, if you are a planner.
Medicare Advantage Plan When you reach sixty-five and begin your medical coverage with Medicare you will quickly find there is a lot more to it than you thought. You will want to look at all of the options that are available to you. This can be a daunting experience. There are a lot of options available but not all will be the right choice for you. One program that was introduced in 1997 is the Medicare advantage plan.
Medicare Insurance Supplements are great to help cover the MEDIGAP, as your Medicare insurance plan may not cover 100% of your health care costs. Although Medicare patients receive excellent treatment, you will still find that these treatments can be quite expensive.
When you sit down to do your Medicare Part D comparison, keep in mind all of the medications that you currently take. In fact, it would be to your advantage to make a list with the names of all your current prescriptions and who wrote each prescription for when. Many people also do not take into account the other illnesses of which they are prone to get again. For example, a patient who has a history of getting bronchitis and walking pneumonia annually in the wintertime would be at an advantage when going through a Medicare Part D comparison to look for a plan that helps to cover those respiratory prescription drugs with bigger discounts than the other plans.


What do you when the president won't appoint board members so that there is a quorum?
Recently my organization held elections and a new President took office. He is required to fill appoint 3 new board members for a quorum to exist, but, has failed or refuses to do so. If he continues to not fulfill his obligations, since there is only half a board (of which he is a member)and no quorum, does the previous board meet to discuss his removal? Or are we stuck until his term ends next year?
Did the members elect this president? Or did the board elect him? If the members elected him, they may be able to remove him and elect someone else. It seems your bylaws need to be revised if it allows the president to appoint board members. To really advise you on what can be done, our company would need to see your bylaws.

Facebook's React framework has been a real game changer when it comes to building single page apps. React endorses immutability and explicit state changes and hence can be seen a sort of functional front-end framework, because functional thinking, immutability and explicit state changes go pretty much hand in hand. Coming from frameworks and libraries endorsing two-way data binding and component encapsulated state this can seem really cumbersome, because one has to change whole mindset in how applications should be constructed. For instance, in Angular you hide state inside components and react accordingly (pun intended) when a state change is detected. In React you always perform explicit state changes and say: this is the new state, deal with it.
Naive solution would be to pass a function as a prop from PhoneBookComponent to PhonebookListing and from there to Contact and from there to DeleteButton. Works, but is not too elegant.
I was building single page app in ClojureScript with great great great Reagent framework, which is a minimalistic ClojureScript wrapper for React. I needed some guidance in how I should construct my application when it got bigger and re-frame architecture seemed intresting. Re-frame is an opinionated architecture in building SP-apps and it's pretty darn simple yet clean and elegant to my taste. I realised, that Re-frame is an improved and more structured version of what I initially was doing when I was learning React.
This post presents a simple re-framish or reframe influenced architecture in building rather small scale vanilla React apps. It is more for you to improve your thinking in React and it's not a comprehensive guide in building robust React applications. For more comprehensive architecture you can check out Flux.
Re-frame is based on a simple idea of strictly one directional data flow. Re-frame introduces concept of app-database which contains all the state. In Re-frame all the state really means all the state. State is kept strictly in single place and it is not encapsulated inside components. On top of that, components modify the state by events and do not interfere with it directly.
This can feel really awkward, because everyone have told you before to isolate the state in well defined components. It can be even considered as a bad practice to have this sort of global state container. Now, take the red pill and really take some time to consider what user interfaces really are. User interface is a rendered state with functions for user to give input to modify that state and render it again. Sounds exactly like re-frame to me.
Using such architecture grants us a couple of really beneficial aspects. Firstly, you have a single source of truth. Everything that is in application state is in one place and not scattered around in million components. Secondly, most of your application is totally immutable, which means you can test rendering in isolation really simply by just altering the props given to components. This is really lean way of building ui-components, which you can just hook to application state when rendering satisfies you. Thirdly, you can test your state handling in isolation as well, because you are able to separate state functionalities in a separate module.
It could support multiple handlers for same event id and such, but let's keep it simple. Now we can utilize our event bus as a communication means between two React components.
// This is the app database!
This application is overly simple, but the principle is very much the same with much larger applications.
Next, we construct a phonebook application using this sort of approach. Our application supports adding new contacts, deleting existing ones and live filtering for contact list. Because we are visual beings, we plan our application by connecting a couple of boxes together.
Code is available from here. At initial stage, our application looks like this.
It doesn't actually do anything but looks fancy! Most certainly it does not have 1 000 contacts!
First we create app database, the heart of our application containing all the state, and add some mock connections to it. We just getInitialState function for this. Then we pass connections in state as an immutable prop to ContactListing and vóila!
Now. Don't panic. Here's the real deal. When user enters something to the filtering input form, we want to trigger event UPDATE_FILTER and update our app database. We do that byt adding "nameFilter" attribute to out app database and pass that as a prop to FilterInput component. Then we trigger UPDATE_FILTER event with new value as a parameter and update state accordingly in handler. This is the data flowing almost in Zen-like manner unidirectionally. After this we simply pass contacts as a prop to listing component but do it via function which is aware of the name filter kept in the state.
Filtering! It works! This is how it's done.
I'm sure you can figure this one out, it's such a trivial task. If not, checkout my commit.
It's important to realize that forms always have a state. When user inputs something to text field, he or she effectively changes the application state. Coming from here, it's clear that our application database must contain state of this form!
So first thing to do, is to define this into the application state!
Then we pass that state as a prop to NewContactForm.
And from there, we pass separate fields onward to FormInput components. Now it's a good time to test value propagation by setting something to state and expect it to render in inputs.
Nice. Then just fire onChange events to eventbus and again, update the state accordingly.
If you try to modify fields now, they won't "echo" what you typed. This is because value is bound to a prop and it is not updated in the app database. Just hook event handler and update value in state.
Committing form should be just as easy. Just fire event from a click to add button and update app database accordingly. Do not try to send values from NewContactForm or something like that! Trust the state Luke! Just copy form values as a new contact to contact array. Whole point is that the app database is the only source of truth. Also, remember to reset the state of the form after succesful commit in order to clear inputs.
If you don't get it, maybe my commit will clarify this.
This is easy as a pie. Just create button, and fire a event from it and update the app database accordingly. I'm sure you can figure it out, but check out my commit.
This post did not deal with issues such as validation or talking to back ends. Validation is not that different. You just pass the state to components and validation result is derived from state. You must decide whether the component itself or the main application is responsible for validating data. In our example we should activate that add button only if every field has value in it. I would prefer passing "canCommit" or similar prop to component because it allows me to test component in complete isolation. This also keeps application logic in single place - components are stupid and just act according to props. It also allows to just render it without any state and see how it behaves when props are changed.
Talking to backend is even more straigh forward! Just fire an ajax-call, set flag in your app database which propagates as a loader or dirty state etc. in your components. When component is told to be loading by prop, render a spinner or similar. When response is received, just update app database and swich flag and you are done! Data still just flows from app database to components.
