Senegal Court case of Former Chad Leader Habre might spell an end to the need for ICC
July 22, 2015 October 22, 2016 Global AuthorAfrica's Pinochet, African Union, Chad, Habre, ICC, President Assane Dioma Ndiaye, United States
Before proceedings began, Habre, dressed in white with a turban, sat quietly until some of his supporters erupted with shouts in French saying "long live Chad and long live President Habre."
Others who identified themselves as victims of Habre's rule were also present, including Fatime Toumle, who called the trial historic.
"The start of this trial is a day of joy and satisfaction," she said. "Everyone should be against impunity."
African leaders are looking at this trial as what can be. Africans taking care of Africans, instead of the ICC which has lost favor in Africa and is very unpopular in all African capitals.
The court, established under an agreement with the African Union, is due to hear from 100 witnesses during the trial that is expected to last several months.
Rights groups and a Chad truth commission accuse Habre of being responsible for more than 40,000 political killings, systematic tortures and other violations during his time as president. Judges found sufficient evidence for Habre to be charged after a 19-month investigation.
Senegalese League for the Defense of Human Rights President Assane Dioma Ndiaye says the trial must be transparent.
"The world has its eyes in Senegal and the whole Africa has to legitimize the fact that they can judge their own citizens," Ndiaye said. "So if we cannot have a just and equitable trial, all that will be put in question."
Habre, once dubbed "Africa's Pinochet," led the country from 1982 to 1990, when he fled to Senegal after being deposed by current leader Idriss Deby.
The United States on Monday welcomed the start of the trial. "This trial is an important step toward justice for the victims of atrocities committed under Habre's rule from 1982 to 1990," said State Department spokesman John Kirby.
Many Africans see United States which has refused itself to sign the ICC charter as the main abuser of the courts powers to intimidate African leaders and their opinions, in African statehouses is unwelcome.
Human Rights Watch called the trial a "milestone in the fight to hold the perpetrators of atrocities accountable for their crimes in Africa and the world." The New York-based rights group also said the case marks the first time a court in one country is prosecuting the former ruler of another country for alleged human rights violations.
The ICC has faced criticism for solely pursuing charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity against Africans, and securing only two convictions since it began operating in 2002.
AFRICAN UNION chairperson president Robert Mugabe, is leading the charge for member states to pull out of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Calls for African countries to pull out of ICC have been growing louder, with the African National Congress (ANC) secretary general Gwede Mantashe adding his voice on the issue.
Hopefully a fair outcome in Senegal will lead to the demise of ICC once for all

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourself' started by Benley14, Sep 13, 2013.
Hello my name is Ashley, Im 24 and the whooshing in my ear started in December 2012 from day one its been constant in my right ear only. If I put pressure on my right jugular/carotid artery it stops. I had a baby 4 months prior and blood pressure was a little high but coming down as I lost weight. It started a few days after a huge cry fest (big family issue) and so I thought it was sinuses. I went to the doctor about a month and a half after it started and he looked in my ear, found nothing, and told me to try nose spray and sudafed. It continued for another 6 months. When I went back my doctor listened to my ear, checked my ear, put pressure on my neck, and then ordered a hearing test (all clear), MRI, and MRA both no contrast. He called to tell me everything was fine. A few months later I go back for the same thing and he seems shocked it hasn't gone away. He calls someone who tells me they can give me a "zen hearing aid"... Yeah because if I can't stand the sound of the ocean in my ear right now, your wind chime "zen aid" will do the trick! So anyways as I laugh at him about this hearing aid he said "the MRI tech noted you had a head trauma, right?" I thought as the doctor he would check my record and realize I never had any head trauma at all. I was shocked but caught so off guard I didn't even ask him why it would show that. This is just so frustrating, I don't know what to do, and I don't want to just live with this. I really feel like something is wrong. I have this pressure in my neck, a new white film that shows up in the very back of my tongue through out the day, and then I'm stating to feel a pain in the ear. Last night I went on a longer bike ride than normal and when I got home I felt a horrible pain in the ear, it felt like it does if you out a q-tip in too far. I google pulsatile tinnitus and so many things come up it worries me. I'm terrified that my doctor will only figure this out if something big happens (God forbid). I just asked him for a referral to a ENT. I also had anemia when I was pregnant, not sure if I still have it. It's been almost a year and I know so many people have it for longer but I'm just trying to figure this out.
Several years ago, my wife lost a lot of blood, and she heard whooshing. Have you had abnormal bleeding? Has your doctor checked your hemoglobin levels?
It's interesting that you say the MRI tech noted head trauma. That can be a potential cause of tinnitus. However, it doesn't quite make sense to get a "whoosh" from head trauma.
There are websites for "whooshers" which may have useful information.
As Karl suggests, it might be good to be checked again to see if your anemia has improved. Anemia can do strange things to your body, including cause changes to the appearance of your tongue.
I am a "whoosher", too. Like you, mine is only in my right ear. The sounds I hear in my right ear are my heartbeat, (which sounds more like a drum than a whoosh to me) and a steady high-pitched hissing sound that never varies. Do you have more than one sound in your ear?
My pulsating started suddenly, too --- after taking blood pressure medicine for the first time, and then trying to get off the medicine quickly. I also had some emotional trauma around that same time; my mother passed away, and then a month later, my youngest daughter got married. Yours may have started because of your pregnancy and its after-effects, plus the high blood pressure, along with the emotional trauma you went through at that time.
I had a similar situation - high blood pressure, which caused me a lot of emotional trauma and worry - followed by changes to my vascular system which could have been caused by the blood pressure drugs. I somehow suspect those sudden changes were all related, and you went through quite a few changes, too.
I've had a CT scan (without contrast), MRI and MRA with contrast, and they could find nothing unusual. One of my doctors suggested a CT scan with contrast, but I haven't done that yet, because of concerns about radiation, and about the iodine contrast dye.
I'm glad you got a referral to an ENT. If you go to that doctor, and he is unable to help, you might try a specialist, such as a neurotologist or a neurologist, who knows a little more about pulsatile tinnitus. There are some referrals to three specific doctors on Whooshers.com who might be able to help if you send them a copy of your tests. All of these doctors are in the U.S. If you need any assistance with this, please send me a private message.


Currently, Angie leads the company's global talent strategies and oversees employee relations, benefits, recruiting, learning and development. Since joining the company in 1998, she has successfully held numerous leadership positions including her current post as President of the C.H. Robinson Foundation, which provides philanthropic support to local and global communities.
To gain insights on the success behind C.H. Robinson's thriving work environment and lessons learned from her personal career journey, we asked Angie to share a few concrete tips to insure the best diversity and inclusion strategies that will allow the next generation of talent to thrive in the workplace.
As a Chief Human Resource Officer, what are your thoughts on the future of our nation's workforce?
It's an exciting time to be a talent leader because our workforce is undergoing significant shifts. Smart employers are adapting to those changes, and as a result, have a powerful strategic advantage. Baby Boomers are retiring at a rapid pace and the changing demographics pose a math problem. While X'ers are starting to move into leadership roles, there are not enough of them to replace the departing Boomers, so Millennials and the new Generation Z workers will have to fill that talent gap. Z's or Post-Millennials, make up the most diverse generation in our nation's history, and have different expectations for their careers. Some research has found that a significant percentage–some say as much as 50% of potential employees in those two generations–say they don't want to work in a typical corporate role. Instead, they prefer working for start-ups, doing freelance and contract work, or create their own businesses. In addition, they also have much more information about job opportunities than the generations that came before them. So if we want to attract and retain the best people, those of us in corporate America have our work cut out for us–in order to have talent to support our future growth plans.
Millennials and Z's are looking for more transparency, stronger career paths and development opportunities, and want to work for companies who are good corporate citizens. They want to do work that is meaningful. They also have different expectations on benefits, work environments, and a range of perceptions about how long they should stay in a position.
All of this is challenging companies to think differently about talent. To attract and hire this new generation of great employees, businesses will have to revamp their recruitment strategies and consider accessing this generation through new tools and resources. We need to think about this group of talent in new ways – some may not have "traditional" paths, but have experiences that are applicable and valuable. In addition, to retain this generation, companies will need to be creative with how they lead these employees through the benefits, work environment and responsibilities they offer.
The future for our nation's workforce is exciting. With new challenges come new opportunities for growth, diversity, and inclusion.
U.S. women account for 48% of the workforce, only 4.8% of Fortune 500 companies. As a woman in C-suite leadership what do you feel needs to be done to help change this?
In recent years, study after study has shown that companies with diverse leadership teams do better financially. We know that this is more than the "right thing to do." It has a real and positive impact on the company's bottom line. The business case is clear and now is the time to take action.
To make sustainable changes, we have to do more than implement a few diversity and inclusion programs. This conversation needs to happen in all parts of our business, especially as we look at our talent strategies and processes. By infusing D&I into our daily work, we will start to see the systemic changes and cultural shifts that are necessary to move the needle.
Finally, it's said, "what gets measured gets done." We have to set clear objectives for this work and then measure our progress.
At C.H. Robinson, we strongly believe that diversity and inclusion is more than an "HR issue" – the entire company must take ownership. This starts at the top, and we are thankful to have the strong support of our CEO, John Wiehoff, and the leadership team.
With that support, we're able to invest in our people. We have conversations with our employees about their career goals and map out how those goals can be achieved. This may include training opportunities, taking on stretch assignments or new roles, networking, or sponsorship.
What are examples of how C.H. Robinson promotes an inclusive workplace and how have these practices impacted your company's success?
I think that creating an inclusive workplace is grounded in our people – the great people we have working for us at all of our 281 offices around the world. We want all of our employees to feel empowered and respected. When we provide a supportive work environment, employees can be more innovative and creative. This leads to better solutions for our customers, carriers, and growers.
To help foster a positive work environment and promote inclusion, we've strengthened our onboarding program for entry-level employees. Across North America, we bring new employees together to start creating connections and learning about the company. After two weeks, the employees begin the second phase of the training program where they are coached and mentored for the next six months.
This process helps to ensure that employees understand the value of D&I from the beginning. Trainees address the skills needed to be inclusive and work effectively with people of all backgrounds. They learn how to leverage their individual strengths. This approach allows them to connect with the company and their colleagues from day one. If we can give them the tools to do their job well, they'll have the ability to be innovative and successful.
As President of the C.H. Robinson Foundation are you noticing any rising trends in how philanthropy and the private sector are working together to create more diverse workforces?
Across the country, our government, non-profits, and businesses are increasingly working together to create a more diverse workforce. Businesses recognize they need to invest in the future, which is why companies are working with non-profits to bridge the talent divide.
At C.H. Robinson, we're committed to developing future talent by working with organizations like LeadersUp, The BrandLab, BestPrep, and Cristo Rey Network. We helped create a pilot program with LeadersUp to develop a curriculum and framework to recruit, train, and retain diverse talent. The pilot launched successfully in Chicago, and the trainings are now being applied in LeadersUp programs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle.
Additionally, we provide internships for high school and college students through partner non-profits. Our employees volunteer by mentoring students, providing homework help, and participating in mock interviews.
What are the top foundational workforce skills you believe every young adult should have entering the workforce?
First and foremost, young adults should have the drive to succeed. They need to have the ability to communicate, learn, analyze, and build strong relationships. They also need to work in a team while delivering independent results. Finally, they should be enthusiastic, persistent, and confident in their approach to work.
What advice do you have for young adults entering the workforce today?
Find a company that you can be passionate about, and you'll enjoy going to work every day.
Be curious. Ask lots of questions, listen to your company's earnings calls, subscribe to industry blogs and learn to become an expert.
Network up and down and across your organization. Relationships are important to your success and happiness at work.
Be prepared to work hard and speak up when you have an idea. Remember, you are responsible for your career – no one else.

Neymar set to return to Barcelona on September 8
Posted by: neydmin Posted date: September 02, 2016 In: Neymar news: 2019-20 | comment : 0
This has been an unusual summer for Neymar all around. The Brazilian ace left Barcelona and parted on vacations last May 23 and will now return to the club on September 8.
That's 107 days (three months and a half) without presenting himself in Barcelona, but it's obviously been allowed by the club so Neymar could play his part in the Brazilian National Team, first in the Olympic Games held precisely in Brazil and more recently in the 2018 World Cup Qualifiers against Ecuador and Colombia.
The 24-year old started his summer break by enjoying the good life in Ibiza, Las Vegas and his home country Brazil, in a period where the Brazilian National Team turned out to disappoint the nation once again, this time in the Copa America Centenario edition. The "Escrete" failed to go through in a group formed by Brazil, Ecuador, Haiti and Peru, in a tournament that would eventually see Chile becoming champions after beating Lionel Messi's Argentina in a dramatic penalty shootout in the final. Neymar was spared from being named into this Copa America squad, in order to be able to rest a few weeks before the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro kicked off.
Neymar wins gold for Brazil in the Olympic games in 2016
Brazil basically kept the bar low after debuting in the Olympics with a disappointing goalless draw against South Africa and they didn't exactly improve in the game after, as they went on to collect a second straight 0-0 draw, this time against the Iraq. At this point of the tournament, not only the very demanding Brazilian fans were extremely unhappy and criticizing everything and everyone in the team, but also the most loyal and patient fans were not optimistic at all. Things would turn around in a blink of an eye though. Brazil started winning their games and they ended up reaching the final rated as the major favorites by many sports bookmakers like www.10bet.co.uk , who priced gold for Brazil at odds around 1.45, against Germany's 2.65.
Neymar and his Brazilian teammates woke up in their 3rd game of the tournament, still in time to advance on the top of their group and inflict a 4-0 loss to Denmark. From that point onwards, there were 3 finals left for Brazil to conquer their first gold ever in Olympic football and they wouldn't let down their fans playing at home… In the quarter-finals, Brazil beat Colombia 2-0 with Neymar scoring the opener and his first goal in the tournament. Next on the list was Honduras, who got run over 6-0 and saw Neymar scoring them twice. On August 20, Brazil faced their ghosts in the final, as they clashed with Germany at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Just like it had happened in all previous games in these final rounds of the tournament, Neymar broke the deadlock, but the Germans would equalize later in the second and the game would drag into a penalty shootout. A scriptwriter couldn't have prepared a better script for what happened next, as Neymar won the Olympic gold for Brazil by scoring the final and decisive penalty in his home country.
With the Olympics over, Neymar enjoyed a few more days of vacations, before joining the Brazilian National Team once more, this time so he could help his country in their 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador on September 1 (match which Brazil won 3-0) and finally against Colombia on September 6.
On September 8, Neymar is expected to be back at Barcelona and could very well already be available to be called for his team's league game against Alavés, just 2 days after (September 10).
In the meanwhile, here's one of his latest videos that shows off all his talent ahead of this new season:

Worcester Chorus soprano Sarah Callinan creates 'Rocky'-inspired training video, with scenes at city hall, Miss Worcester Diner, Polar Park, for 'Messiah' concert
Updated: Dec. 01, 2021, 8:28 a.m. | Published: Dec. 01, 2021, 8:28 a.m.
Worcester Chorus soprano Sarah Callinan created a "Rocky"-inspired video to show what training is really like in preparing for the "Messiah" concert this year at Mechanics Hall.
By Michael Bonner | mbonner@masslive.com
When the Worcester Chorus takes the stage at Mechanics Hall this weekend, elegant tuxedoes and gowns will mask the painstaking practice that occurred in preparation for the annual "Messiah" performance.
However, a Worcester native who is a soprano soloist in the chorus, produced a video to show just how much work goes into the performance.
Taking inspiration from the blockbuster hit "Rocky", Sarah Callinan created a video comparing what fans of the chorus may think practice for the show looks like to the reality of the event.
The video begins with Callinan in an elegant gown and a beautiful symphony in the background. Text appears at the top reading "What people think preparing for Messiah season looks like..."
The video then transitions into the theme song from "Rocky" and Callinan running through the streets of Worcester in Rocky Balboa's iconic grey sweatsuit.
Callinan runs past the Miss Worcester Diner, down the train tracks and out of the Brickbox Theater. She stretches in behind Polar Park and eventually winds up on Worcester Common, performing push ups before running up the steps at city hall.
"Messiah" was limited to a virtual presentation last year due to COVID-19.
This year the performance returns to an audience at Mechanics Hall on Saturday at 8 p.m. However, a virtual performance is still available for folks to watch at home.
Tickets for in-person and at-home viewing are available now.
Callinan graduated from Holy Name High School and attended the Hartt School of Music at the University of Connecticut.
In addition to her performance schedule, Callinan is also a private voice instructor at The Hanover Conservatory and The Joy of Music Program in Worcester.

Former Prussian castle renovated in Poland
Nick Hodge 15.04.2016 17:43
A far-reaching renovation of a noted Gothic castle in Lidzbark Warmiński, north eastern Poland, has been completed.

The historic stronghold, once a residence of the Warmian bishops, now serves as the headquarters of the Museum of Warmia and Masuria.
It is regarded as one of the pearls of Gothic architecture on current Polish land.
The last bishop to reside in the castle was Ignacy Krasicki, one of the most celebrated figures in the Polish Enlightenment, known as 'the Prince of Poets'.
He left the castle in 1794, one year before the final partition of Poland by Prussia, Russia and Austria. He had already become a Prussian subject in 1772, following the first partition, when Warmia was incorporated into Prussia.
Prior to World War II, Lidzbark Warmiński was part of East Prussia, an exclave of Germany. The territory was awarded to Poland following World War II.
Four wings of the castle have been restored. Likewise the roof has been repaired, and the cellars and attics renovated for exhibition purposes.
The work cost nearly PLN 20 million [EUR 4.6 million], of which nearly PLN 13.5 million came from the Norwegian funding mechanism.

During renovation work, a message in a bottle was found from the year 1928.
Signed by two workmen, the light-hearted message noted that a circus was in town and that "a flying crocodile" had caused a sensation with the locals.
"We live in peace and happily," the authors wrote.
"The most important things for us young people are money and women - be happy everyone and think of us, when you find this card."
A new message in a bottle has been immured, together with a copy of the 1928 letter. (nh)

And we too, shall be mothers, because.......! by Jean-Jacques Lequeu, 1794
In Achille Devéria's "libertine watercolor" the explicit erotic scene is taking place clandestinely against the background of a "respectable" party seen at the back
Erotic art is a broad field of the visual arts including any artistic work intended to evoke erotic arousal, usually depicting human nudity and/or sexual activity. It has included works in almost any visual medium, including drawings, engravings, films, paintings, photographs, and sculptures. Some of the earliest known works of art include erotic themes, which have recurred with varying prominence in different societies throughout history. However it has also been widely considered taboo, with either social norms or laws restricting its creation, distribution, and possession, particularly when it is deemed to be "pornographic", "immoral", or "obscene".

DefinitionEdit
Further information: Erotic literature
The definition of erotic art is somewhat subjective, and dependent on context, since perceptions of both what is erotic and what is art vary. For example, a sculpture of a phallus in some cultures may be considered a traditional symbol of potency rather than overtly erotic. Material that is produced to illustrate sex education may be perceived by others as inappropriately erotic. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy defines erotic art as "art that is made with the intention to stimulate its target audience sexually, and that succeeds to some extent in doing so".[1]
A distinction is often made between erotic art and pornography, which also depicts scenes of sexual activity and is intended to evoke erotic arousal, but is not usually considered fine art. Some draw a distinction based on the work's intent and message: erotic art would be works intended for purposes in addition to arousal, which could be appreciated as art by someone uninterested in their erotic content. US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously wrote that the distinction was intuitive, saying about hard-core pornography which would not be legally protected as erotic art, "I know it when I see it"[2]
Others, including philosophers Matthew Kieran[3] and Hans Maes,[4][5] have argued that no strict distinction can be made between erotic art and pornography.
HistoricalEdit
Further information: History of erotic depictions § Early depictions, and Erotic art in Pompeii and Herculaneum
Among the oldest surviving examples of erotic depictions are Paleolithic cave paintings and carvings, but many cultures have created erotic art. Artifacts have been discovered from ancient Mesopotamia depicting explicit heterosexual sex.[6][7] Glyptic art from the Sumerian Early Dynastic Period frequently shows scenes of frontal sex in the missionary position.[6] In Mesopotamian votive plaques from the early second millennium BC, the man is usually shown entering the woman from behind while she bends over, drinking beer through a straw.[6] Middle Assyrian lead votive figurines often represent the man standing and penetrating the woman as she rests on top of an altar.[6] Scholars have traditionally interpreted all these depictions as scenes of ritual sex,[6] but they are more likely to be associated with the cult of Inanna, the goddess of sex and prostitution.[6] Many sexually explicit images were found in the temple of Inanna at Assur,[6] which also contained models of male and female sexual organs,[6] including stone phalli, which may have been worn around the neck as an amulet or used to decorate cult statues,[6] and clay models of the female vulva.[6]
Depictions of sexual intercourse were not part of the general repertory of ancient Egyptian formal art,[8] but rudimentary sketches of heterosexual intercourse have been found on pottery fragments and in graffiti.[8] The Turin Erotic Papyrus (Papyrus 55001) is a 8.5 feet (2.6 m) by 10 inches (25 cm) Egyptian papyrus scroll discovered at Deir el-Medina,[8][9] the last two-thirds of which consist of a series of twelve vignettes showing men and women in various sexual positions.[9] The men in the illustrations are "scruffy, balding, short, and paunchy" with exaggeratedly large genitalia[10] and do not conform to Egyptian standards of physical attractiveness,[8][10] but the women are nubile[8][10] and they are shown with objects from traditional erotic iconography, such as convolvulus leaves and, in some scenes, they are even holding items traditionally associated with Hathor, the goddess of love, such as lotus flowers, monkeys, and sacred instruments called sistra.[8][10] The scroll was probably painted in the Ramesside period (1292-1075 BC)[9] and its high artistic quality indicates that was produced for a wealthy audience.[9] No other similar scrolls have yet been discovered.[8]
The ancient Greeks painted sexual scenes on their ceramics, many of them famous for being some of the earliest depictions of same-sex relations and pederasty, and there are numerous sexually explicit paintings on the walls of ruined Roman buildings in Pompeii. The Moche of Peru in South America are another ancient people that sculpted explicit scenes of sex into their pottery.[11] There is an entire gallery devoted to pre-Columbian erotic ceramics (Moche culture) in Lima at the Larco Museum. Edward Perry Warren adapted a love for Greek Art during college. An Erotic Art collector, specifically inclined to gather Greek Erotic Art pieces that often represented gay sexual relationships. Warren acquired the famous Warren Cup in 1911. The Warren Cup features scenes of anal sex between men. Many of Warren's eclectic pieces collected over the years are primarily featured in the Boston Museum of Fine Art.[12]
Additionally, there has been a long tradition of erotic painting in Eastern cultures. In Japan, for example, shunga appeared in the 13th century and continued to grow in popularity until the late 19th century when photography was invented.[13] In Japan during the Edo period (1600-1869), Shunga, translated to "spring pictures," was a series of sexually explicit paintings created with ink or woodblock works that became printed onto paper scrolls as an introduction to sexual education. Shunga, embraced by individuals apart of the Shinto Religion, focused on liberating the innate sexual beings that are within all humans, including women and homosexual sexuality. Couples engaging in sexual acts were shown laughing and enjoying the sexual encounter with their partner; this focused on the positivity of sex. Around 1700, Shunga was met with opposition and banned in Japan, but the circulation of this prominent Erotic Art continued. Shunga could be found in local libraries and homes of many Japanese citizens.[14] Similarly, the erotic art of China reached its popular peak during the latter part of the Ming Dynasty.[15] In India, the famous Kama Sutra is an ancient sex manual that is still popularly read throughout the world.[16]

I ModiEdit
In Europe, starting with the Renaissance, there was a tradition of producing erotica for the amusement of the aristocracy. In the early 16th century, the text I Modi was a woodcut album created by the designer Giulio Romano, the engraver Marcantonio Raimondi and the poet Pietro Aretino. Erotic Art in Italy took on many forms but was most famously encaptured by artist Guilio Romano for his famous I Modi sketches. Pope Julius II commissioned Raphael to decorate rooms in the Vatican, which exclusively housed the religious elite. His death left Romano responsible for completing his final installation in the Vatican housing quarters in the Sala. The Sala was a gathering place for the religious elite. Paintings in this room depicted Emperor Constantine in a manner that illustrated scenes of victorious spiritual conquests of Christianity over Paganism. During the time of finishing these works, Romano sketched sexually explicit scenes between mythological famous historical couples. These sketches were made to elicit the simplistic nature of sex between individuals. I Modi gave the public the power to gaze upon material which was banned by the clergy members of the Vatican. The sketches eventually landed into the hands of Marcantonio Raimondi, an engraver who was also classically taught by Raphael. Raimondi published and distributed these prints made by Romano. The drawings quickly gained popularity amongst non-elite people in society and were scattered around Italy's Vatican City. This taboo subject matter in Italy was ordered to be destroyed by Pope Clement. Marcantonio Raimondi was arrested for this reproduction and distribution of I Modi.[17][18]
In 1601 Caravaggio painted the "Amor Vincit Omnia," for the collection of the Marquis Vincenzo Giustiniani.
An erotic cabinet, ordered by Catherine the Great, seems to have been adjacent to her suite of rooms in the Gatchina Palace. The furniture was highly eccentric with tables that had large penises for legs. Penises and vaginas were carved on the furniture. The walls were covered in erotic art. The rooms and the furniture were seen in 1941 by two Wehrmacht-officers but they seem to have vanished since then.[19][20] A documentary by Peter Woditsch suggests that the cabinet was in the Peterhof Palace and not in Gatchina.[21]
The tradition was continued by other, more modern painters, such as Fragonard, Courbet, Millet, Balthus, Picasso, Edgar Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and Egon Schiele. Schiele served time in jail and had several works destroyed by the authorities for offending contemporary mores with his depictions of nude girls.
By the 20th century, photography became the most common medium for erotic art. Publishers like Taschen mass-produced erotic illustrations and erotic photography.
Erotic art from the 20th century onwardsEdit
Today, erotic artists thrive. Although, in some circles, much of the genre is still not as well accepted as the more standard genres of art such as portraiture and landscape. Erotic depictions in art went through a fundamental repositioning over the course of the 20th century. Early 20th century movements in art such as cubism, futurism, and German expressionism explored the erotic through manipulating the nude to explore multiple viewpoints, colour experimentation, and the simplification of the figure into geometrical components.[22] In the mid 20th century, realism and surrealism offered new modes of representation of the nude. For surrealist artist's, the erotic became a way of exploring ideas of fantasy, the unconscious and the dream state.[23] Artist's such as Paul Delvaux, Giorgio de Chirico and Max Ernst are well known surrealist artist's that dealt with the erotic directly. In the aftermath of the First World War, a shift away from abstracted human figures of the 1920s and 1930s towards realism took place. Artists such as British Artist Stanley Spencer led this re-appropriated approach to the human figure in Britain, with naked self portraits of himself and his second wife in erotic settings This is explicitly evident in his work Double nude portrait, 1937.[23]
The naked portrait was arguably becoming a category of erotic art that was dominating the 20th century, just as the academic nude had dominated the 19th century.[24] Critical writings on the 'nude' and in particular the female 'nude', meant fundamental shifts in how depictions of the nude and the portrayal of sexuality were being considered. Seminal texts such as British Art historian Kenneth Clark's The nude: a study of ideal art in 1956 and Art Critic John Berger in 1972 in his book Ways of Seeing, were re-examining the notion of the naked and the nude within art. This period in art was defined by an acute engagement with the political. It marked a historical moment that stressed the importance of the sexual revolution upon art.[25]
The 1960s and 1970s were a time of social and political change across the United States and Europe. Movements included the fight for equality for women with a focus on sexuality, reproductive rights, the family, and the workplace. Artists and historians began to investigate how images in Western art and the media, were often produced within a male narrative and particularly how it perpetuated idealisations of the female subject.[26] The questioning and interrogation of the overarching male gaze within the historical art narrative, manifested in both critical writing and artistic practice, came to define much of the mid to late 20th century art and erotic art.[27] American Art Historian Carol Duncan summarises the male gaze and its relationship to erotic art, writing "More than any other theme, the nude could demonstrate that art originates in and is sustained by male erotic energy. This is why many 'seminal' works of the period are nudes."[28] Artists such as Sylvia Sleigh is an example of this reversal of the male gaze as her work depicts male sitters presented in traditional erotic reclining poses that usually were reserved for the female nude as part of the 'odalisque' tradition.[23]
The rise of feminism, the sexual revolution and conceptual art in the mid 20th century meant that the interaction between the image and audience, and the artist and audience, were beginning to be questioned and redefined, opening up new possible areas of practice. Artist's began to use their own nude bodies and began to depict an alternative narrative of the erotic, through new lenses.[29] New media was beginning to be used to portray the nude and the erotic, with performance and photography being used by women artist's, to draw attention to issues of gender power relations and the blurred boundaries between pornography and art.[30] Artists such as Carolee Schneemann, and Hannah Wilke were using these new mediums to interrogate the constructs of gender roles and sexuality. Wilke's photographs, for instance, satirised the mass objectification of the female body in pornography and advertising.[23]
Performance art since the 1960s has flourished and is considered as a direct response and challenge to traditional types of media and was associated with the dematerialization of the artwork or object. As performance that dealt with the erotic flourished in the 1980s and 1990s both male and female artists were exploring new strategies of representation of the erotic.[26]
Martha Edelheit was a female artist known for her contributions to erotic Art as a rebellious stance against typical gender roles, which excluded women artists from participating in free sexual expression. This limited women to often be the subject of many famous Erotic Art pieces which catered to men. Edelheit was criticized for being a female artist who created erotic artwork during a time where men were main contributors in this art. Edelheit was a pioneer in the feminist art movement because she was a woman who created Erotic Art and also depicted herself in many of her works, which paved the way for women's equality in sexual expression. Edelheit confronted the common stereotype that this art was pornographic by offering an alternative view of oneself. Her works paved the way for women to openly express sexual desires. Painting nude male subjects were uncommon in the 1970s; her Art turned the tables and allowed for women to be at the forefront of this fem expression revolution that occurred in the 70s.[31]
The acceptance and popularity of erotic art has pushed the genre into mainstream pop-culture and has created many famous icons. Frank Frazetta, Luis Royo, Boris Vallejo, Chris Achilleos, and Clyde Caldwell are among the artists whose work has been widely distributed. The Guild of Erotic Artists was formed in 2002 to bring together a body of like-minded individuals whose sole purpose was to express themselves and promote the sensual art of erotica for the modern age.[32]
Between 2010 and 2015 sexologist and gallerist Laura Henkel, curator of the Erotic Heritage Museum and the Sin City Gallery, organised 12 Inches of Sin, an exhibition focussing on art that expresses a diverse view of sexuality and challenging ideas of high and low art.[33] The erotic continues to be explored and employed in new types of art work today and the profound developments of the 20th century still underpin much of the prevailing erotic art and artistic intent.[34]
The red one by Alfred Freddy Krupa
Legal standardsEdit
Whether or not an instance of erotic art is obscene depends on the standards of the jurisdiction and community in which it is displayed.
In the United States, the 1973 ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States in Miller v. California established a three-tiered test to determine what was obscene—and thus not protected, versus what was merely erotic and thus protected by the First Amendment.
Delivering the opinion of the court, Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote,
The basic guidelines for the trier of fact must be: (a) whether 'the average person, applying contemporary community standards' would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest, (b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and (c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.[35]
As this is still much vaguer than other judicial tests within U.S. jurisprudence, it has not reduced the conflicts that often result, especially from the ambiguities concerning what the "contemporary community standards" are. Similar difficulties in distinguishing between erotica and obscenity have been found in other legal systems.

Q: Absolute and relative accuracy of a DAC I'm working on an assignment to design an R2R DAC. The DAC works, however, I am asked to find the absolute and relative accuracies. I checked on various sources, the definitions seem a bit vague to me.

Is it one value for each code, or one value for the entire DAC?
[Analog-to-Digital Converison by Analog Devices]

A: "Absolute" and "relative" are terms that, by themselves, can be applied on many situations where two values are compared.
"Absolute" means the exact distance of the two compared values (i.e. 4 volts vs 5 volts are 1 volt apart. 1 volt would be the absolute error).
"Relative" means that the same error is divided by the magnitude of the values; for example, if the reference value is 4 volts but we obtain 5 volts, the absolute error is 1 volt, and the relative error is 1 volt divided 4 volts, i.e. 0.25 (or 25%). 25% is an awful precision. If the reference value is 200 volts but we obtain 201 volts, the absolute error is 1 volt (same as before), but the relative error is 1/200 = 0.5% (which is much better than before).
Now, absolute and relative (errors) are both meaningful, and which one to consider depends on the situation.
In case of a DAC, probably "absolute" refers to the "maximum absolute error" that is to be expected along the full interval of outputs, and "relative" refers to the "maximum relative error" we can expect. Often for measurement instruments we are interested in the relative error, so we can measure and know that our measure is correct "not worse than 2%", for example. I think that this makes sense for a DAC too. In both cases, though, may be that the DAC or instruments, in a particular zone (center of scale for example) has more accuracy (or less, who knows).
An example: consider a DAC which has an output of 0-255 volts, with a maximum relative error of 1%. This means that when outputting ideally 250 volts, the real output could be 252.5 volts. Is this absolute error, 2.5 volts, acceptable?
Conversely, imagine a DAC where the maximum absolute error is 2 volts. If I know that I will use output ranges from 1 to 40 volts, the possible error is big. But if I know that I will use an output range from 100 to 200 volts, than that absolute error is not too bad, because it is a relative error of 2% or less.

A: You measure what each output value of the DAC is and record it, (also the supply voltage to help remove that from causing the deviations)
Absolute error is how large a deviation was there between what the value it output should be and what was measured, e.g. code 256 should have been 5V, you measure 4.96V, you run through your list of values, find the largest one and that is your absolute error
Relative error is how much does that deviation change between codes, e.g. code 256 - 255 should be X voltage apart, what was the largest deviation between 2 codes, that is your relative error.

Version: 2018 US calendar with big font.


Yu Darvish or Jake Arrieta? Jake Arrieta or Yu Darvish? It has to be one or the other. It better not be neither.
If the Cubs don't complete their 2018 rotation with a top-tier star, they can forget about contending for the World Series. They might as well begin preparing their NL Central concession speech while they're at it.
And what about the rest of us, in that case? Do we curl into the fetal position for the next eight months? Get back in touch with our pre-2015 selves? Is our baseball joy simply dispersed like dandelion seeds in an angry wind?
Brewers reportedly extend offer to Yu Darvish; what does this mean for Cubs?
We might as well start dealing with this cold, hard reality: It's re-sign Arrieta or bring Darvish into the fold — or wait 'til next year.
Is Hendricks for real? Has "the Professor" gone nutty?
At this time, only one rotation mate — Jon Lester — remains from the 2016 World Series championship team. Chris Bosio, the pitching coach who helped the 28-year-old Hendricks blossom into a Game 1 playoff starter, is gone. The Cubs are looking at Lester, Hendricks, Jose Quintana, newcomer Tyler Chatwood and Mike Montgomery, in whatever order. Hardly a subpar fivesome, but not one that has rival players and managers waking up in cold sweats.
Yet Hendricks is undeterred. He raves about Lester's experience and Quintana's consistency. He's a big believer in Chatwood, with whom he played summer ball as a high schooler in Southern California, as both a physical talent and a student of the game. And he continues to see starter/reliever Montgomery as a pitcher with the goods to "pull a Hendricks" — in other words, to take a sudden, dramatic leap forward as Hendricks did in 2016.
Most of all, there's this: The way Hendricks sees it, the biggest addition to the Cubs' rotation in 2018 might come via his own improvement. After finishing third in NL Cy Young voting two seasons ago, Hendricks won only seven games and pitched only 139.2 innings in a '17 campaign that was a blend of injury and hard luck. Now? He has 200 innings — that's goal No. 1 — and 20 victories on his mind. Each would be a career first.
Cold, hard reality, meet stone-cold confidence.
And we have to take Hendricks' talk seriously, don't we? No pitcher is smarter. Few are as self-possessed. Hendricks snuck into the rotation after starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel were traded midway through the 2014 season, and all he has done since is flummox hitters and open eyes.
At his very best, Hendricks has evoked comparisons to Greg Maddux. Talk about nutty, right? Maddux is merely a Hall of Famer and all.
Take a spin through Hendricks' sneaky-good stats and you have to be at least somewhat heartened. He's 38-22 with a 2.94 ERA in his big-league career, all with the Cubs. He already has pitched 50 postseason innings, with a 2.88 ERA. He has outpitched Corey Kluber, Clayton Kershaw and Stephen Strasburg head-to-head in the playoffs.
It all smacks suspiciously of a guy who just might be capable of leading a rotation, even a good one. Just to be on the safe side, can the Cubs make that Arrieta-or-Darvish thing happen anyway?


One way to make the most of your summer is to focus on your life goals. Hopefully, you have a short list of objectives that you're consistently working toward. If not, now's the time to evaluate what's most important to you and develop 3 to 5 life goals that help you create the life you desire.
Is finding the right partner a key ingredient in your recipe for a happy life?
While the search can seem elusive, it gets much easier if you learn to focus on the qualities that are fundamental to forging healthy and positive relationships: character, background, personality, and chemistry.
Have you ever hurt someone's feelings and not known it at the time? Perhaps you said something teasing that was interpreted as mean-spirited.
As children mature, they'll experience all kinds of emotions. Like all humans, they'll also have reactions to those feelings. Because of their natural responses, they'll find it helpful to learn to manage their emotions as early in life as possible. You can do a lot to help them with this!
Telecommuting, or working from home for an employer, offers great benefits for both you and the company you work for. By telecommuting, you can cut down on commuting time and distractions and get more accomplished in the comfort of your own home.
Summer is a magical time. For many, this season provides that once-a-year opportunity to travel somewhere exciting, exotic or relaxing. You may get to spend time with friends or family, or even luxuriate in a few days all by yourself.


Chilfest 2017, now in its fourth year and always proves to be a must do an event every year, once again 2017 did not disappoint! The 80's music event saw, the usual mixture of music genres to cater for all tastes with a mix of Soul, Funk/Disco and Electro & New Wave giving a typical 80's vibe.
Summer Soulstice 2017 was once again an amazing day for those that went, with a great line-up of DJ's and some great live acts on the main stage. Back in 2007 the family and friends of Andy Weekes who had sadly died of cancer in 2006, organised the first Summer Soulstice as a tribute to him.

"The super aromatic, explosive and heady 2016 Pinot Noir comes from the second year they have worked the vineyard, and this delicate and sometimes finicky grape is the one that shows the greatest improvement. They used a good percentage of full clusters for the fermentation in concrete eggs and bins, and the wine matured in used barriques for ten months. It has very intense flavors and very fine tannins, with a saline sensation on the palate. This is different, very intense and distinct, generous and tasty. There is also some ripeness, more than in the Malbec. Only 1,500 bottles were produced."
93 points, Tim Atkin MW
"The latest release from this extreme site, planted at 2,000 metres on the road to Chile, proves that early-ripening Pinot Noir has a home here. Intensely spicy and peppery, with 30% whole bunches adding another layer, this is floral, savoury and complex with fresh, crunchy minerality. 2019-24"
About The Winery
Estancia Uspallata, located 6,560 feet above sea level, is the highest vineyard in all of Mendoza. It is situated in the Quebrado del Minero (Miner's Canyon), just outside of the town of Uspallata. The estate belongs to the Saud family of Buenos Aires and is part of a massive mountain ranch of almost 100,000 acres. However, as is often the case in these Andean properties, only a tiny fraction is actually usable. In 2008, the Saud family planted a small vineyard of about 10 acres (five acres each of Malbec and of Pinot Noir) on a pronounced north-facing slope.
In 2015, Ariel and Belen Saud approached Alejandro Sejanovich and Jeff Mausbach to partner in the development of the property, taking charge of viticulture, winemaking, and commercial activities. Under Alejandro's care, the vineyard has thrived, and one-half acre of Cabernet Franc has been added. The plan is to continue to develop the estate, with small parcels of different grape varieties matched to the tapestry of soil profiles found on the property.

More than 30 years after the 1988 explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland that killed 270 people, the Justice Department announced new charges against a Libyan bombmaker in the tragedy.
The charges were announced Monday, the 32nd anniversary of the bombing, at the final news conference of Attorney General William Barr's tenure, underscoring his personal attachment to a case that unfolded during his first stint at the Justice Department. He had announced an earlier set of charges against two other Libyan intelligence officials in his capacity as acting attorney general nearly 30 years ago, vowing that the investigation would continue.

Multiple people from Connecticut were among those who died in the bombing, including Shannon Davis, 19, of Shelton; Scott Cory, 20, of Old Lyme; Turhan Ergin, 22, of West Hartford; Patricia Coyle, 20, of Wallingford; Thomas B. Schultz, 20, of Ridgefield; Amy E. Shapiro, 21, of Stamford; and Andrew A. Teran, 20, of New Haven. Also killed in the bombing was Elizabeth Marek, 30, a graduate of Brookfield High School, who was living in New York at the time of her death.
The case against the alleged bombmaker, Abu Agela Masud Kheir Al-Marimi, is for now more theoretical than practical since Masud is not in U.S. custody, but it is nonetheless one of the more consequential counterterrorism prosecutions brought by the Trump administration Justice Department.
"At long last, this man responsible for killing Americans and many others will be subject to justice for his crimes," Barr said.
Former Stamford and Ridgefield resident Jane Schultz said she watched Barr announce the new charges in the bombing that killed her son, Thomas, and thought it was "very well done."
"I thought he was very sincere," Schultz said. "It's one more cog in the wheel for justice."
The Pan Am flight exploded over Lockerbie less than an hour after takeoff from London on Dec. 21, 1988, en route to New York City and then Detroit. Among the 190 Americans on board were 35 Syracuse University students flying home for Christmas after a semester abroad. One of them was Thomas. The 20-year-old was majoring in politics and history at Ohio Wesleyan University and wanted to become a lawyer.
When asked how she's doing 32 years since her son's death, Schultz — who now lives in Pennsylvania — replied, "We do the best we can."
Jack Schultz, Thomas' father, was among those who helped found the Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, which spent years fighting for more details about the bombing.
And following her son's death, Jane Schultz advocated for the construction of a permanent memorial to the Pan Am 103 victims. Her work paid off, resulting in the dedication of the Lockerbie Memorial Cairn at Arlington National Cemetery in November 1995.
"The idea of a memorial cairn was born to fill the large emotional void that the disaster had created," Schultz said 25 years ago at the memorial dedication service.
She said the memorial represented "strength and stability," and each stone on the cairn "has its own unique characteristics, a perfect representation of each victim — very similar yet so very unique."
On Monday, Matthew Coyle recalled that, before she left Vienna, Austria for her flight home, his daughter Patricia told her parents not to bother meeting her when she arrived in New York,
"She said, 'I'm all set. I'll see you when I get home,'" Coyle recalled his daughter saying. "Thankfully, we didn't go. All that chaos and confusion."
The 20-year-old from Wallingford, who was studying early childhood education, was a Boston College student, who had spent a semester abroad studying at Webster College.
"She was a real stemwinder in our house," Coyle said. "She was a great kid, very adventurous."
Coyle said "the one big regret" he and his wife had was that they never visited their daughter in Vienna while she was studying there with a Boston College classmate.
"We've traveled a bit since then, but we couldn't bring ourselves to visit Vienna," Matthew Coyle said. "It's just too hard."
Coyle and his wife Jan have made it their life's work to keep the memory of their daughter alive.
"It's been a struggle, especially the first eight or nine years," he said of coming to to terms with his daughter's death.
For about a dozen years after her death, the Coyles ran a memorial tennis tournament in honor of their daughter because of her love of the game. And every year, the Patricia M. Coyle Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior at Wallingford's Mark T. Sheehan High School, who has demonstrated academic excellence, school involvement, and volunteer service during their high school careers.
A bench near the high school honors her memory as well.
"We can hold our head high," Matthew Coyle said of the family's efforts to remember Patricia. "Our children can hold their heads high."
Patricia Coyle was a twin and her sister Kris has three children. The oldest daughter, Brenda, has twin boys.
Both of Particia Coyle's sisters attended Boston College. Matthew Coyle and his wife moved to suburban Boston in 2016 to be closer to their two surviving children.
The Coyles have closely followed the case surrounding the bombing for years.
Andrew Teran was a 20-year-old Yale University student who had finished a semester studying in Edinburgh, Scotland, his mother's homeland, when he died over Lockerbie.
Born in Bolivia, Teran and his family, including his father, Felix, his mother, Pamela, and brother, Javier, lived in Peru at the time of the bombing. Suzanne Teran, now of Berkeley, Calif., said her brother Andrew "was very thoughtful and very down to earth. … He was a really good friend, particularly being boys with my younger brother and my dad."
Growing up in Lima, Peru, Andrew Teran also was a long-distance runner. "He was a grounding force in our family, very down to earth," Suzanne Teran said.
Andrew Teran was studying political science and wanted to go into international law, his sister said. "It's very difficult to describe this sense of loss, especially with somebody so young," she said.
While the family lived in Peru, "we had actually lived in New Haven when we were little" and their father was doing business there, Suzanne Teran said. She was 7 and Andrew was 4 at the time.
She said the family had not spoken out about the bombing case over the years. "It's good to know that the investigation continues and that this has not been forgotten, and we hope one day there will be full transparency." She called the bombing an "unspeakable cruelty."
Scott Cory, a resident of Old Lyme, was another Syracuse University student who died when the plane crashed.
"The bombing of the Pan Am flight definitely impacted our community as we lost one of our former students," James P. Wygonik, principal of Lyme-Old Lyme High School, said Monday.
"Scott's family has kept his memory alive in our school with a scholarship fund," Wygonik said. "On behalf of the Lyme-Old Lyme High School, I hope today's news helps in some way to ease the pain of his family and all families who lost loved ones that day."
While Masud is now the third Libyan intelligence official charged in the U.S. in connection with the Lockerbie bombing, he could be the first to stand trial in an American courtroom.
After Barr in 1991 announced charges against the two other men, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, the Libyan government balked at turning them over, skeptical the men could receive a fair trial.
Al-Megrahi was convicted while Fhimah was acquitted of all charges. Al-Megrahi was given a life sentence, but Scottish authorities released him on humanitarian grounds in 2009 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He later died in Tripoli.
It wasn't until 2003 that Libya accepted responsibility for the Pan Am disaster, with the country reaching a $2.7 billion compensation deal with the victims' families. Sanctions were lifted and, in 2006, the Bush administration removed Libya from its list of state sponsors of terrorism and restored diplomatic relations.
The Coyles said they watched in disbelief when al-Megrahi was released from prison after serving eight of his 27-year sentence. Then they heard Monday's news that a former Libyan intelligence agent was being charged as the bombmaker. Matthew Coyle said he was "very pleased" that Barr had chosen to pursue the case.
"I guess we are just surprised this hadn't happened sooner because he was identified four or five years ago," Coyle said.
For Alex Plitsas, 35, of Fairfield, the 1988 bombing is forever linked with one of his first memories, of his grandmother crying and screaming while watching the news. Her brother, Plitsas's great uncle Robert Pagnucco, was among those killed. Plitsas, now head of the Republican Town Committee in Fairfield, was living in Mamaroneck, N.Y. at the time.
He was around 3 years old when the bombing took place, but will never forget how his grandmother, Caroline Meskers, reacted when she learned of the bombing.
"I remember it vividly," he said. "The news came on, and she burst into wailing. It was completely out of character for her."
Plitsas said he used to work for the U.S. Department of Defense, and he once had an instructor who was a CIA officer involved in investigating the bombing. Plitsas said he had heard from some Washington contacts that the new charges were coming, and his family — including his grandmother — was relieved to hear the news.
"She was very, very excited," Plitsas said. "The family had never really gotten closure on what happened."

MAN Truck & Bus Middle East is participating at the UITP (International Association of Public Transport) MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition 2016 which is taking place in Dubai from April 25-27, 2016. MAN is the market and technology leader in natural gas buses and the MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition will be a great platform to understand how MAN is uniquely positioned to offer clean and efficient alternatives to conventional diesel vehicles.
Franz Freiherr von Redwitz, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus Middle East will also be speaking about the economical, environment-friendly solutions offered by the company on Tuesday the 26th April at the Expo Forum session 3: 'Bus Technology.' where he will share and discuss the latest innovations in natural gas buses from MAN.
MAN is the market and technology leader in natural gas buses. The natural gas drive is an alternative to the conventional diesel drive and significantly undershoots the current stringent emission standard without the need for any additional filter technology or operating media. With no need for technical modifications, such buses can also be run on treated biogas – thus making operation virtually CO2 neutral.
MAN is working on integrated natural gas solutions and increasing the number of natural gas buses in operation, as well as ensuring the continued development of the fuel infrastructure for the entire natural gas mobility industry. The "Bus of the Year 2015" award is proof, amongst others, that MAN is right at the forefront in developing use of natural gas. On receiving the award, the Lion's City GL CNG was noted in particular for its environmentally-friendly, powerful and economical drive.
The Euro 6 CNG engine of a MAN Lion's City CNG bus offers an environmentally friendly public transport mobility solution with extremely low pollutant levels. When filled up with biogas or e-gas, the articulated bus is virtually carbon neutral; offering emission levels comparable to that of fully electric vehicles. Even without the use of biogas, CO2 emissions are reduced by approximately 17 per cent in comparison to diesel vehicles. As well as being a sustainable fuel source, natural gas is also a particularly economical solution. Due to the significantly reduced fuel costs, over a period of ten years an MAN Lion's City CNG bus saves approximately 15 per cent on the life cycle costs in comparison to a diesel bus from the same model range.
MAN's position as market leader in this sector is backed up by decades of experience with natural gas buses. MAN not only offers reliable technologies, but is also highly proficient and skilled in the servicing and repair of high-pressure gas systems. If requested by the customer, training courses can be arranged to ensure that MAN's expertise is competently transferred to the customer's own service personnel or an external service team and a global supply of spare parts for natural gas.
In the Middle East, MAN Truck & Bus had earlier been commissioned by Abu Dhabi's Department of Transport to conduct extensive trials of its Lion's City CNG bus. The bus operated for eight months in the UAE along with regular diesel-powered buses to achieve a direct comparison; the result showed a higher exhaust gas quality compared to diesel buses and less nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxides and particles in the air. Additionally, the bus complied with the strictest security standards worldwide – including the ECE-R110 guideline – setting a new standard in road safety in the region.


Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I shared a profound bond as cousins, queens, and women vying for supremacy in a man's world—but eventually it became impossible for them to coexist. Kate Williams charts Mary and Elizabeth's doomed relationship in an extraordinary historical narrative.
With the desperate struggle between Protestants and Catholics as a backdrop, Williams transports us to a world of royal rivalry where violence and betrayal were the order of the day. Through it all, Mary and Elizabeth remained friends and allies—until the final act that led Elizabeth to order her cousin's execution.
The Betrayal of Mary Queen of Scots portrays an extraordinary relationship as it recounts an epic era in English and Scottish history.

The Cavendish School offers a broad, balanced and personalised curriculum designed to allow all students to achieve to the very best of their ability.
The school is made up of five faculties, each led by a Director of Learning and Deputy, and supported by Lead Teachers. Students are taught by specialists who not only bring a secure knowledge of their area but also an enthusiasm and love of their subject.
How will you know what progress your child is making?
Your child's academic progress is monitored by continuous assessment and regular teacher assessment in all subjects, as well as modular and unit tests through the year in all subjects. This allows teachers to track your child's learning and plan to meet their needs as well as making sure that students are in the right groups and work is differentiated at the right level for all students to succeed. Progress Leaders and The Guidance Team provide supporting data and further mentoring.
Reports on your child's progress are produced regularly during the year. These include full written reports, Progress Profiles, a Tutor Evening and Subject Evening. Parents and carers are invited to attend the tutor and subject specialist evenings during the year where relevant information on progress can be gathered. Areas of concern can be raised by the school or the parent at any time and an interim statement of progress prepared, or an interview arranged with staff.
Our reward system allows the students either to purchase items through the school shop to support their learning further or, as they progress through the school, it allows them to gain access to a range of activities, including our Dinner Dance for Year 11 students.
