THE HOUSE OF SUNTORY WHISKY PROUDLY INTRODUCES
YAMAZAKI® 55 YEARS OLD™
From the birthplace of Japanese Whisky, Yamazaki® 55 – now available in select global markets – honours the legacy of three generations of Master Blenders and celebrates its harmony with nature with a donation for every newly released bottle to The White Oak Initiative.
LONDON, UK (9th September 2021) – In the much anticipated first-ever global release of the Yamazaki® 55, the House of Suntory pays tribute to the passage of time and the legacy of the founding family of Japanese whisky. Bottled in 2020, Yamazaki 55 – the House of Suntory's oldest release in its history – celebrates the Japanese "Showa" era of the 1960s that represented a major period of change for the House of Suntory.
Extremely limited quantities of Yamazaki 55, of which 100 bottles were initially released in Japan in 2020, will reach select global markets including the United Kingdom, United States, Mainland China, and Taiwan later this month. Yamazaki 55 will be available to purchase in Harrods, Claridge's and The Arts Club.
To honour its ongoing commitment to give back to society, Beam Suntory, will donate $5,000 USD for every bottle released in this year's 100-bottle collection, totalling $500,000 USD, to The White Oak Initiative, a group committed to the long-term sustainability of America's white oak forests.
Yamazaki 55 is a blend of precious single malts featuring components distilled in 1960 under the supervision of Suntory's founder Shinjiro Torii and then aged in Mizunara casks; and in 1964 under Suntory's Second Master Blender Keizo Saji and then aged in White Oak casks. Suntory's Fifth-Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo worked closely with Third-Generation Master Blender Shingo Torii in deploying their signature art of blending to properly reveal the exceptional depth, complexity and wisdom that is Yamazaki 55. The resulting expression features a deep amber colour; robust aroma redolent of sandal wood and well-ripened fruit; sweet, slightly bitter and woody palate; and slightly bitter yet sweet and rich finish.
"Throughout the process of blending Yamazaki 55, I used as inspiration the passage of time and 'Wabi-sabi' – the Japanese belief that imperfections can help to ultimately contribute to perfection," said Fukuyo. "While I often view other extra aged whiskies as art, I consider Yamazaki 55 to be more like a Buddhist statue: calm and mysterious, requiring time to truly enjoy the inner beauty."
Yamazaki 55 is presented in a crystal bottle with the word "Yamazaki" carefully engraved in calligraphy using the technique of sandblasting and featuring real gold dust and lacquer on the age marking. The bottle's opening is wrapped in handmade Echizen washi paper and bound with a Kyo-kumihimo plaited cord, a traditional craft from Kyoto. Each bottle is delivered in a bespoke box made from native Japanese Mizunara wood and coated with Suruga lacquer.
Tasting Notes – Yamazaki 55, 46% ABV
Color: Deep amber distinctive of Mizunara casks.
Nose: A robust aroma redolent of sandal wood. A sweet, mature bouquet like well-ripened fruit.
Palate: A soft, smooth first sip that blossoms in the mouth with flavor. A mixture of sweet and slightly bitter, followed by a woody note from the Mizunara cask.
Finish: Slightly bitter, a fragrance like scented wood and a hint of smokiness. A sweet, rich, lingering finish.
Yamazaki 55 will be available in extremely limited quantities starting this month at a suggested retail price of $60,000 USD excluding VAT and duties. Yamazaki 55 will be available to purchase in Harrods, Harvey Nichols, The Whisky Exchange, The Whisky Shop, Master of Malt.
Yamazaki 55 will also be available in The Arts Club, Annabel's and Claridge's. This limited-edition expression joins Yamazaki's portfolio of award-winning whiskies including Yamazaki® 12, Yamazaki 18® and Yamazaki 25®.
From Yamazaki. Birthplace of Japanese whisky.
The Yamazaki Distillery is Japan's first and oldest malt whisky distillery, built starting in 1923 by Suntory's founder Shinjiro Torii. Yamazaki is not only the soul place of Suntory Whisky. It is the birthplace of Japanese Whisky.
Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, it is said that Torii selected the land of Yamazaki at the foot of Mt. Tennozan, for its high-quality water source and natural environment, both of which are ideal for whisky making. Nestled proudly on the periphery of Kyoto, the area around Yamazaki Distillery has been long referred to as "Minaseno" famous for its exquisite natural water, even mentioned in the Man'yoshu, the ancient anthology of Japanese poetry. Home to Sen no Rikyu, Master of "The Way of Tea" and his renowned "Rikyu no Mizu" (water of the imperial villa), the waters of Yamazaki are selected by the Ministry of Environment as one of Japan's one hundred best natural mineral waters.
Yamazaki lies in a misty valley between Mt.Tennozan and Mt. Otokoyama, where the Katsura, Uji and Kizu rivers converge. Blessed with Japan's rich four seasons, the diversity of this region's temperature and humidity align to create the perfect conditions for the making of whisky.
ABOUT SUNTORY WHISKY
Since 1923, Suntory has been renowned as the pioneer of Japanese whisky for its House of Master Blenders and for their Art of Blending. Shinjiro Torii built Japan's first malt whisky distillery in Yamazaki, and the Suntory legacy continued with Torii's son, Keizo Saji, Suntory's second master blender who continued to establish distilleries including the Hakushu distillery. As the generations of Suntory's master blenders carry on, Suntory Whisky remains committed to heritage and innovation. The House of Suntory Whisky has been named four-time Distiller of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge in London, UK (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014).
Suntory Whiskies are subtle, refined and complex. The portfolio includes two single malt whiskies: Yamazaki—Japan's N°1 Single Malt, multi-layered and profound, Hakushu—verdant, fresh, and delicately smoky; and two blends: the noble blend, Hibiki—Japan's most highly awarded blended whisky and Suntory Whisky Toki.

I've always been passionate about Rum and we're really beginning to see a shift in its popularity and how it is enjoyed in the UK. Although we may relate Rum to hotter climates, I'm excited to show our consumers that it can be both beautifully mixed to create cocktails perfect for all occasions or simply enjoyed neat."
Jamie's signature Brugal 1888 serve is the Dominican Double which mixes Brugal 1888, Briotette Crème de Banane and Dry Vermouth to create a balanced, 'nearly neat' cocktail that showcases the elegant flavour and complexity of the double aged rum.

Scottish Whisky Auction Firm Whisky Hammer Agrees Investment Deal With Hong Kong Business Rare Whisky Holdings
Online whisky auction site, Whisky Hammer, and its sister retail business Still Spirit, is poised for global expansion after selling a 49% stake of the Scottish family business to Rare Whisky Holdings, a whisky investment group managed out of Hong Kong.
The multi-million-pound deal will deliver a 2.6X return to retail investors on their original investment, who participated in its crowdfunding campaign just two years ago.
Whisky Hammer started in 2016 by brothers Daniel and Craig Milne who are originally from Macduff, near Speyside, an area renowned for the production of Scotch whisky.

The success of Whisky Hammer, and its vast potential, has been recognised by Rare Whisky Holdings, which is the same management team behind the Platinum Whisky Investment Fund, the first private equity fund in the world to focus on rare single-malt whiskies.
Platinum Whisky Investment Fund launched in 2014, raised USD 12 million and is in the final stage of its wind down, exiting at over USD 24 million in 7 years.
Rare Whisky Holdings also owns the Glenor Cask Company, which holds 1,000 casks of maturing single malt, blended, and grain whiskies. The new investment and partnership ensures registered members of Whisky Hammer and Still Spirit will receive exclusive access to a range of cask opportunities for the long-term.
Whisky Hammer hosts monthly auctions, dedicated to whisky and other fine spirits, allowing buyers and sellers from every corner of the globe to participate. It has auctioned a wide range of whiskies, both bottles and casks, with auctions selling in excess of £1 million under the hammer each month.
A recent feature included the 31-Year-Old Black Bowmore 'DB5' collaboration with Aston Martin, distilled in 1964 and sold for a hammer price of £81,000 in March 2021. The customer base of Whisky Hammer features an extensive global network of whisky enthusiasts who buy and sell on the platform, resulting in a 70% growth in revenue in 2020.
Whisky Hammer re-located in 2019 to a new, purpose-built facility in Aberdeenshire, which is also home to Still Spirit – a whisky shop, e-commerce site and dram bar offering over 100 rare whiskies to taste while overlooking the beautiful Scottish countryside.
Daniel Milne, Managing Director of Whisky Hammer and Still Spirit said: "This is a very exciting time for our business. The transaction signifies an important bond with our new Asian partner that will rapidly bring the group to the next phase of growth, and we are incredibly excited about what lies ahead. In addition, we are delighted to have generated a substantial return for our crowdfunding investors that helped us build the business to where it is today."
Rickesh Kishnani, Co-Founder of Rare Whisky Holdings commented "Our investment group is proud to join the Milne family business and help with their expansion to Asia, where the demand for whisky continues to grow at a rapid pace. We are also excited to use this new partnership to provide Whisky Hammer and Still Spirit members with exclusive access to our collection of aged casks."
Legal support was provided for the transaction by Goodwin Proctor LLP (acting on behalf of the buyer) and Brodies LLP (acting on behalf of the sellers).

London, 2nd July 2021 – House of Suntory has announced the return of its advocacy programme which will educate bartenders on their premium portfolio of craft spirits: Roku Gin, Haku Vodka, Toki Whisky, and Hibiki Whisky.

Led by House of Suntory's Brand Ambassador, James Bowker, the DOJO programme will be supported by traditional Japanese Craft Masters. Together they will provide best-in-class education in Japanese culture, craft and bartending, centring on the three key pillars of House of Suntory: Hibiki, Omotenashi and Monozukuri.
Between June and September, the Japanese Craft Masters will each present an online masterclass with James Bowker:
Hosted by renowned Ikebana Artist, Keiko Smith, the Ikebana Masterclass took place on 21st June 2021, focusing on Japanese aesthetics and beauty. In addition, participants tasted each botanical distillate of Roku individually in a special Roku tasting experience
On the 19th of July 2021, Master Sushi Instructor Izumi Nakamura and Japanese seasoning expert Stuart Turner will host a Sushi Masterclass exploring balance and seasoning, which will include a Haku tasting of rice spirits at different stages of distillation

To conclude the DOJO Masterclass Series on 20th September 2021, House of Suntory are collaborating with leading Urasenke Tea Master, Genshitsu Sen, to curate a Tea Ceremony Masterclass, centring on hospitality and guest experience. In addition, James Bowker and Zoran Peric will host a tasting of Hibiki components following an advanced ice carving tutorial

The participants who display the most commitment and personal development will be invited to a grand finale where House of Suntory will select the strongest DOJO apprentices to join them for a one-of-a-kind trip to Japan.
Commenting on the re-launch, James Bowker, UK Brand Ambassador for the House of Suntory said: "We are extremely proud to bring back DOJO for a second year. The programme is a great opportunity to engage with bartenders across the country and share with them the three pillars behind the House of Suntory brand that makes it so unique. Educating bartenders on Japanese culture has always been a passion of mine and I cannot wait to welcome the next cohort of Dojo ambassadors."

If Sanral fails as a result of the e-toll boycott, the country's economy will be in a worse position.
This is according to Vusi Mona, general manager of communications at Sanral.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime, Vusi!
I'm going to start taking this approach to SA PR 'stunt' men.
(that reminds me, time to get my press credentials).
It's not "if" e-tolls fail, they have failed and the economy is in a much worse position but it's not correlated to e-tolls.
I have been saying this all along... they committed to paying this money and so when the public reject the toll the money is still owed.
Poor strategy on their part, however its going to screw the average joe more than anyone.
No, he means us... if you default on a loan then your credit rating takes a knock.
Kapsch will feel some pain but we get the brunt of it.
Thanks. Won't change it though. Reminder that journalism isn't for me.
Another unfounded propaganda statement from spin doctor mona.
The only impact is the 75% of taxpayer money will stop going to Kapsch TrafficCom and going to Austria.
Just kill it now and save ZA taxpayers.
Implement a small fuel levy and sorted.
How can the economy be worse off if we stop sending billions of Rands to Austria?
What BS logic is this?
Well, that what they get for not running a sufficient public consultation process..
With insufficient funding, phases two and three are unlikely to be implemented.
Great. You lot cannot be trusted with this.
So glad that is nipped in the bud, eh?
Despite Outa's efforts, the courts have found that the e-toll project was implemented legally, said Mona.

The Great Gatsby - Page Text Content
S: The Great Gatsby
BC: The Great Gatsby
FC: The Great Gatsby By T.J. Miller
1: Main Characters | Daisy Buchanan, Jay Gatsby, Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan, and Jordan Baker
2: Daisy Buchanan | Daisy Buchanan is Married to Tom Buchanan and lives in East Egg. She used to date Jay Gatsby and is also a cousin to Nick. She likes money and possessions and it is part of the reason she married Tom. She also knows how to act rich and high-class. She is very romantic and tries to act happy with her life even though she is truly not.
3: Dear Journal, Earlier today Nick invited me over to his house to have tea. Of course i said yes but he told me to not bring Tom. Later, when I got to his house I was met by an unexpected surprise. My old boy friend was there named Jay Gatsby. I couldn't believe it and at first he was very shy and acted like a little boy, but later, when the sun came out, he became very enjoyable. He then invited me over to his house to see it. His house was beautiful and I loved every part of it. Overall, it was great re-uniting with an old friend.
4: Jay Gatsby has been living in West Egg for five years and purposefully moved their to be close to Daisy. He is still very much in love with Daisy Buchanan even though she is married to Tom. Jay Gatsby tries to continually impress Daisy by having big parties and buying fancy cars, clothes, and other possessions. Almost everything Gatsby does somehow correlates to getting Daisy's attention. | "He is just a man named Gatsby."
5: Jay Gatsby | Jay Gatsby is the next door neighbor of Nick living in West Egg. He knows Jordan Baker from when he was dating Daisy. He throws massive parties at his house just to impress Daisy and to see if she will come to one. Even though he has major parties, Jay Gatsby is anti-social and is also reserved. No one knows who he really is and how he became so rich. Gatsby also fought in World War I and is highly decorated with medals of valor while fighting. Jay Gatsby is also very shady. He continuously seems to say he is from different places and says he inherited his money. We learn later on that Gatsby was involved in counterfeit stock marketing and that's is where we got his wealth.
6: Nick Carraway | Nick Carraway is the narrator in the book The Great Gatsby. He is next door neighbor to Jay Gatsby living in West Egg and is also a cousin of Daisy's. He works as a stock broker and studied at Yale where he met Tom. He is not very honest even though he thinks that he is and is also easily manipulated. He starts to date Jordan Baker in the book and he seems to be romantic. He also does not like rich people very much because of how shallow he thinks they are. Nick becomes a friend of Gatsby's and is one of the few to attend his funeral.
7: Nick Carraway thinks of himself as, "one of the few honest people he knows."
8: Tom Buchanan | Tom and Daisy
9: Tom Buchanan is married to Daisy Buchanan and they both live in East Egg. Tom went to Yale where he met Nick, Daisy's Cousin. He played football there and he also plays polo. His parents were very rich and he inherited their wealth when they died. Tom's personality is very different from other characters in the book. he is violent and extremely egotistic. He is also dimwitted and racist toward African Americans. Tom is also rude, sort of a alcoholic, and many people do not like him. He is used to getting what he wants and tries to find fulfillment in possessions and relationships. Tom is also having an affair with Myrtle Wilson and does not very good at hiding it. He doesn't care if his actions will hurt other people and we learn that it is possible that Tom has had multiple affairs. | "Wreck, good, Wilson will have a Little Business."
10: Jordan Baker | Jordan talking to Nick.
11: Jordan Baker is a Professional Golfer and throughout the story is dating Nick Carraway. She does not live in either West Egg or East Egg, but is staying at one of her family's houses in New York. She is Daisy's best friend and has known her since the teenage years. She knows about Tom's affair and tries to set up Daisy with Jay Gatsby. She dates stupid men so she can take advantage of them. Jordan is very crafty but she is also careless. We also learn that she is a lier, and at the end, she and Nick break up.
12: Tom Buchanan's Journal Entry. | Dear Journal, Today Myrtle Wilson was hit and killed by Gatsby's yellow car. When I came to where she had been hit I didn't think that it was going to be a bad wreck, but as a stopped and got out of the car I could see a large group of people. I went to see what they were looking at and it was Myrtle's body. I was angry that someone would hit her and then drive off. I couldn't believe it and I went straight to George to ask him what color the car was. He said it was yellow and it looked like the one I was driving. At that I left to go home to talk to Daisy about what had happened. When I asked her what had happened, she told me they had hit her but decided not to stop. When she told me this I grew furious at Gatsby for killing Myrtle and cheating on my wife. I can't believe that my love life is over with Myrtle. For now I will just have to stick with Daisy.
13: Nick Carraway's Journal Entry. | Dear Journal, Today my friend Jay Gatsby was shot by George Wilson. George thought that it was Gatsby who was having and affair with his wife and was the one who purposefully killed her. George then decided to shoot Gatsby and then kill himself. Jay was swimming in the pool when I heard the shots. Luckily, it did not kill him but he is hurting very badly and the doctor says he will not make it. I keep trying to find some of Gatsby's friends so they can come say goodbye to him and help me with the plans for the funeral, but no one seems to be home or around. Right now it is just me and Gatsby and I am trying to do everything I can for him. I wish Daisy was here to give him some comfort. I feel bad for him.

The rich wear white to make them look like they're the best, most powerful, and perfect. | The Color Green: The color green in the book is from Daisy's lantern at her pier. Green represents money and East Egg. The color green also stands for desire and jealousy because Gatsby wants Daisy but Tom has is married to her. | The Eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg: The eyes of Dr. Eckleberg are constantly watching over the people of the Ash Heap. George says they are almost like God is watching over every move you make. They represent the rich no longer living there and no longer caring about them.
15: The Ash Heap: The Ash Heap emphasizes the class differences of the rich and the poor. The Wilson's live here the people who live her are seen as nothing and no one living there is content to be there. They all want to get out of the Ash Heap but they cannot. The rich ignore that they exist. | East Egg vs. West Egg: East Egg represents old money and the people that live there are very proper. The people living there know how to act rich and like to show it. West Egg is old money and the people that live there are the ones who just got rich. They get their wealth from the stock market and fossil fuels. West Egg is wild and they throw crazy and wild parties. They spend a lot of money on possessions and cars. They like to show off their wealth and let people know they have money. | The color Yellow: In The Great Gatsby the color yellow is a indicator and representing pride. Also, it represents a wealthy status and in a negative way represents selfishness. Overall, yellow in the book is seen as a bad thing.

Baitong incense clock
China, 19th century
A baitong copper banded incense clock of square format, retaining its original miniature shovel, cutting blade and stamping tool. The top tier is fitted with a lid that is pierced with four stylized characters, reading Yan Nian Yi Shou, meaning "to have a long life" or "longevity", surrounded by T-shaped frets. It is inset with a removable tray, used to outline the pattern of the incense powder in the sand. The bottom tier stores a miniature shovel, a square stamping tool and a shaped cutting device. The base is stamped with two hallmarks, respectively reading Yun Bai (cloudy white) and Zhang Mingqi (a Chinese name).
Baitong was first known and used in China during the Qing dynasty. It became known in the West from imported wares called baitong (Mandarin) or paktong (Cantonese) (literally "white copper"), for which the silvery metal colour was used to imitate sterling silver. Chinese incense clocks have practical, recreational and religious uses. Practically, a clock needs to be able to tell the time. This can be done through sound, sight, touch or smell. There are early records of incense clocks being used in China from 1073 AD, where a severe drought in the countryside caused many municipal clepsydrae to stop working. Recreationally, powdered incense clocks were mainly used in China as personalised and portable time-keeping devices for homes. Metals such as nickel, silver and pewter were lighter and smaller than their wood and stone predecessors and therefore became a popular gift used by Chinese scholars and intellectuals. Incense seals, sticks and spirals were also used for religious time telling, keeping the time during festivals and important rituals. The second mark on the base, Zhang Mingqi, was probably the reciever of the gift, or he was the patron.

TV ReviewsThe StandSeason 1
The Stand buries its best character moments
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

The Stand's flashback-dependent structure continues to be one of its downfalls. As for "The House Of The Dead," the central issue mostly amounts to the fact that it's kind of boring. The stakes just aren't there, and when they are, they feel too forced and merely plot-driven, leaving character development in the dust.
As has become tradition for this show, the episode stuffs about as much as it can into one installment and then adds some more. It doesn't know where to place its focus, diluting the most compelling parts of the story or all out distracting from them. In my mind, there's one clear and powerful narrative at the heart of "The House Of The Dead," and yet it doesn't pack nearly enough of an emotional punch. That one piece of the plot is the committee's decision to send three of their own to Vegas, to the place where people are crucified, to the place where the dark man presides. This is by far the most potent part of the episode, tapping into all the story's most important themes about good vs. evil, means and ends, the impossible things they face at the end of the world. But instead of building the flashbacks around the fraught decisions to send Dana Jurgens, Tom Cullen, and Judge Harris into the darkness in the name of the greater good, The Stand barely gives weight to these decisions, the characters seemingly going through the motions and the flashbacks struggling to service either plot or character when really they should be doing work on both fronts. I found myself thinking of Battlestar Galactica while watching this episode, because in that apocalyptic narrative, these kinds of leadership decisions are handled so thoughtfully and thrillingly. But The Stand is still too stuck in its own structure, too reliant on rushed and heavy-handed exposition told through flashback, to really needle into the simple yet meaningful conflict at the crowded heart of this episode.
The StandSeason 1
"The House Of The Dead"
For Judge Harris, there's no character development or context at all really. I suppose we're just left to think she'll do the right thing because she has retained her judge moniker. And then Dana's backstory hinges entirely upon other characters. Shortly after Frannie rejects Harold's advances back when they were still traveling just the two of them, they happen across a suspiciously placed semi-truck that acts as a trap. A man who has seized the apocalypse as an opportunity to enact atrocities and act out his rape fantasies by taking women as prisoners gives Harold the chance to defend Frannie's honor and save both their lives, goading him into fighting him. Harold can't, and Frannie is almost raped before Dana and another prisoner as well as Glen and Stu, who have been closely following Frannie and Harold for a while, take action and take out the rapist. Dana finishes him off, letting out a guttural scream that indeed captures the horror of what she's been through. But that's just about all we get of her before she rather casually agrees to go through with the Vegas mission even after she has laid out the sheer danger of it all.
The flashback where Frannie and Harold encounter this bad man mostly serves the purpose of cutting Harold down to size...and in a way that doesn't really seem to engage with the idea that Harold's reaction to the end of the world isn't all that different than this man's—he, too, sees it as an opportunity to get everything he wants. Maybe we're supposed to just make that connection on our own, but The Stand generally likes to hand-hold through its revelations, and the Harold of this episode is a departure from the incel-adjacent Harold of the pilot, which doesn't suggest complexity or a crisis of conscience for the character so much as it does just inconsistent writing and a general vagueness about Harold's motives. In any case, the only other thing the flashback really does is inject some suspense and fear into these mostly suspense-free flashbacks by having Frannie almost assaulted—a cheap and frustrating narrative choice. It doesn't give us anything about Dana other than that scream and the violence that precedes it. She's reduced to her trauma, and the characters barely seem to care about asking to send her to Vegas, so why should we?
The only place where the episode does touch on the gravity of what this committee—Larry, Stu, Frannie, Nick, and Glen, who are permanently installed as the leaders of Boulder by a motion from Harold who naturally has his own self-serving reasons to do so—is when it comes to Tom Cullen. Tom and Nick's hug before Tom takes off is the most tearjerky moment of the series so far. And in this case, the flashbacks between Nick and Tom do serve to solidify the bond that exists between them. They took care of each other even when they couldn't really communicate. When Julie Lawry—a nasty girl dressed in a tutu and wielding a shotgun—presents Nick and Tom with the first opportunity to talk to each other, the first thing Nick wants Tom to know isn't the plan for how they're going to find Mother Abagail. It's his name.
Some of the issues I had with the portrayal of Tom last episode persist. His intellectual disability often seems played for laughs. Julie torments him in a way that drives home the fact that she's no good, but The Stand then only skims the surface of the truly awful thing the committee is doing by selecting Tom as one of the sacrificial lambs. Their collective crisis of conscience is brief, and maybe it would all work better if we did know more about Tom outside of his disability, but we only get small doses of that in his friendship with Nick. The most emotionally resonant parts of this episode are rushed, which is confounding because they're also very relevant to the plot! On the one hand, sure, these characters don't really have time to sit around and contemplate the moral value of what they're doing. They have to act. But on the other hand, watching characters go through motions doesn't make for particularly engaging or convincing television.
As far as relationship dynamics go in this show, the strongest are the friendships—that of Tom and Nick and that of Stu and Glen. It falters in other places, and to be fair, these characters are thrust together by circumstance not by actually liking each other or seeking each other out, so yeah, relationships naturally feel awkward. But as it nears its halfway point, The Stand is still struggling to give emotional weight and depth to its characters and their choices. It really does feel more like a chess game between good and evil and less like a story with real people.
So back to Harold, who Nadine approaches with an offer in the present timeline: He can do whatever he wants with her sexually so long as they don't have full-on sex, because she's saving herself for Flagg. In turn, Nadine needs his help killing the committee and Mother Abagail, which also gives him the gift of ending Stu Redman once and for all. They're a match made in hell. But Harold appears a little scared of Nadine, his fear laced, of course, with lust. She calls herself Flagg's queen and then tells Harold what he wants to hear: he can be his prince. Nadine no doubt seems like a masterful manipulator. And in the end, it's her who shoots Teddy Weizak, Harold's pal from the body removal crew who has given him the affectionate nickname Hawk. Just like that, the full gravity of what Harold and Nadine are doing comes into focus for Harold, who seems shocked and horrified by the death.
Not long before, Teddy held a copy of Skyscraper on blu-ray in his hands and asked Harold without a bit of irony whether he thought Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might have survived Captain Tripps. Honestly, that funny and strange moment is one of the more compelling bits of "The House Of The Dead." It reminds us just how weird and fucked-up and disorienting the end of the world is. The Rock probably isn't alive, but Harold keeps the hope alive for his friend, saying it's possible. Teddy seems to need to clutch onto that little bit of the old world, that hope. It's silly, but it also feels like a real glimpse into the psychology of being an apocalypse survivor. Teddy's death is significant, a turning point for both Nadine and Harold who are no longer betraying their community in theory but rather barrelling toward complete and total villainy. It's a thrilling end to an episode that otherwise struggles to make its conflict and characters pop.
Stray observations
You know the drill. I reserve most of the book talk down here, and that means there are book spoilers (there are not TV spoilers, though, because I am watching these one-by-one/at the pace at which they're released, so I know as much as you do when it comes to the show). Be courteous and label book spoilers in the comments even if you think the idea of spoiling a book that's many decades old is silly.
I personally would have preferred to skip the rape thing altogether. In the context of this adaptation, I don't think it adds much at all! I do appreciate the fact that the television show at least doesn't spend as much time with it as the book does. But it also feels more significant in the book than it does here. There are more victims and more rapists in the book version, and it speaks even stronger to the idea that there are very bad people who are using the apocalypse as a way to replicate and exacerbate power dynamics and violence that existed before the superflu. There's specificity to what the women went through and there's specificity to the way they grapple with their traumas. Dana ultimately does feel underwritten in the book but not nearly as underwritten as she is in this episode.
So Nadine shooting Teddy in front of Harold is certainly a change. In the book, he's killed by Harold's explosion, making Harold a little more complicit in the death of his only friend in Boulder. This change is technically more dramatic and makes Nadine a much more violent threat than she is in the book.


As modern control systems and autonomous shipping modules perform more tasks and there is massive disruption of maritime jobs, a wider array of education and skills-building are required to meet future demands. There are two uncertainties though: Will well-prepared seafarers be able to keep up in the race with autonomous systems? And which will be the most important requirements for ship operators to survive the maritime workforce of the future?
– Automation; a fundamental transformation in the way seafarers work. Automation is expected to replace human tasks and challenge the skills that shipping organizations are looking for in their people.
– CSR: A strong social conscience, a sense of environmental responsibility, a focus on diversity, human rights and a recognition that the shipping industry will have an impact, well beyond the financial.
– Soft Skills: A significant skills-gap is expected in the future, directly linked to the loss of productivity and profitability. Automation of many processes onboard, require a set of skills that goes beyond what machines are capable of; non-technical skills, the so-called "soft skills".
"So, once again in maritime history, interpersonal skills, self-management skills and ability to cope with unstructured tasks are about to become the main factor that differentiates between the low performing and the high performing crews, "says Dr. Luiza Shahbazyan, Product Manager CAT, Safebridge Cyprus.
Women in the European Union earn on average 16.2% less than men, while in the maritime field, the figure climbs to 45%, keeping women away from shipping careers.
Investing in critical human skills is critical for the future of your workforce. These are; problem solving, creativity, project management, listening, and moral and ethical decision making. A leadership position requires showing up for your personnel, they will understand the effort you made and they will treasure your organizational targets all the more.
Although women form 39.3% of the global workforce, women seafarers constitute only 2% of the total number of seafarers worldwide, creating a need for the shipping community to bridge this gender gap. Encouraging greater diversity and inclusion is a critical part of meeting shipping industry's new talent demands. Diversity is currently moving up the boardroom agenda in most shipping organizations, to make business sense; enhance innovation, personnel satisfaction and overall organizational performance.
In order to remain employable in the future, help your employees learn technology and tools faster, but also design the technology so it takes almost no training to use.
Sophia Bullard, Director of the 2018 SAFETY4SEA Initiative Award winner; UK P&I Club's Crew Health Programme explains that shipping is on the verge of many advancements, such as autonomous ships and multiple projects providing the opportunity for the enhancement of technology onboard. Whilst all these are projects are of utmost importance, we would actually like to go back to a time where the focus was on the human factor in shipping.
Hiring the right people means creative ideas and effective collaboration, which leads to an easier way forward embracing the challenges of the future workforce in maritime industry.

World Cup: England 40 Australia 16
PUBLISHED: 10:59 19 October 2019 | UPDATED: 10:59 19 October 2019
England's Jonny May celebrates scoring his side's second try with Lewis Ludlam and George Ford during the 2019 Rugby World Cup Quarter Final match at Oita Stadium, Oita, Japan.

England stormed into the World Cup semi-finals as two tries from Jonny May underpinned a record-equalling victory over Australia at Oita Stadium.
England's Owen Farrell kicks a penalty during the 2019 Rugby World Cup Quarter Final match at Oita Stadium, Oita, Japan.
May celebrated his 50th cap by touching down twice in the first half but a seventh successive win against the Wallabies was truly founded on a ferocious defence led by man of the match Tom Curry.
Four years ago it was Australia who dumped England out of their own World Cup at the group stage, but their revenge for that humiliation was crushing.
Saracens' Owen Farrell revelled in his return at fly-half in place of George Ford, with his pass to Kyle Sinckler for the third try showing his class as ringmaster in a return to form for England's captain.
From the kicking tee he was immaculate as four penalties and four conversions made up a 20-point haul.
Billy Vunipola looks on as England's Manu Tuilagi (centre) is tackled by Australia's Michael Hooper during the 2019 Rugby World Cup Quarter Final match at Oita Stadium, Oita, Japan.
And in further vindication of Eddie Jones' decision to drop Ford in favour of a more muscular midfield, it was Slade's cunning interception and astute grubber that presented May with his second try.
Saracens' Mako and Billy Vunipola, Jamie George and Maro Itoje produced sterling efforts in the forwards for England and Anthony Watson's late interception try capped a stunning display by Eddie Jones' men, who will face either New Zealand or Ireland in the semi-final next weekend.
Farrell said: "I thought Australia made that a brilliant game. They attacked throughout but our boys did well in defence and managed to get some field position off the back of it. We know when we have field position we can be pretty dangerous.
Maro Itoje congratulates England's Kyle Sinckler (bottom) after scoring his side's third try against Australia
"We did what was needed. We had the lead and Australia were throwing everything at us again. We wanted to play the game at our pace and we did that in the second half."


Bringing training in-house has proved a shrewd investment for County Durham Engineering firm Hydram Sheet Metalwork.
In 2011 the company removed apprentices from the local colleges and training providers to set up its own training department on site in Chilton, Ferryhill – turning to EAL, the specialist awarding organisation for industry, to support them.
The new National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR) is opening its doors in October 2015.
EAL, the specialist awarding organisation for industry, will certify and validate 39 courses at NTAR through its accreditation services, covering traction and rolling stock.

Q: How to set a cookie and redirect the user to another url logged in? I'm trying to make a simple flask app with a login page that gets the user id and its password, then via python-requests make the login in another url and redirect the user to this external url already logged in with the cookies i'm getting from the external application.
This is my code so far:
import requests

@app.route('/')
def index():
   headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
   payload = {'username':'user','password':'pass'}

   url = "https://www.url.com"

   s = requests.Session()
   r = s.post(url + "/login/form", headers=headers, data=payload)

   print(r.cookies)
   return ?

when I print the cookies I'm able to see 2 cookies defined by the external webpage. How do I assign them to the user on my flask page and then redirect the user to that url with the cookies set in so they don't need to login again in the external url?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: In Chrome's Inspect Element | Network panel, what do red entries signify? We are streaming MPEG-4 media from our servers to our app in a browser.
In what appear to be random occasions, the media assets either refuse to stream, or stream after long timeouts.  The elements that have timed out appear on Chrome's network panel in red, but there appears to be no error message associated with them.
The issue appears on multiple browsers (IE11 and Chrome v35 both repro the issue) across multiple platforms (Windows 8, Mac 10.9 and Linux), so we're assuming it's something we've done.
Note that after the resource times out (last line of screen shot), it appears to try again and streams successfully (second last line of screen shot).
Note: the issue may be cache related, in that disabling the browser cache eliminates the symptom (both the timeout and the red line item).
Can anyone enlighten us on what the red line items mean, explicitly?  Is there a place where the cause of the red line item is being logged?

A: The red entry in your case means the browser (as HTTP client) aborted the connection before the server ends the HTTP response.


It would be cool to get eve-ng for Ubuntu 18.04 lts, maybe even Desktop version. The reason of ask is possibility of bare-metal installation on local machine and access via 127.0.0.1. 16 version of Ubuntu has old version of desktop environment and suits only as server platform.
Have you checked how does it work? Any bugs been found?
We will not go for Ubuntu Desktop version for EVE.
if you want install it.
But EVE no need server gui mate.
You are free to test anything you like.
Can we update OS of parallella to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? And how?

The sun's effects on our skin can range from some seemingly innocent freckles and a healthy glow to blisters and pain. It can be difficult to know when to let it go and when to freak out. Although all exposure to the sun is damaging and can cause skin cancer later in life, there are some warning signs to look out for when you get sunburn.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, sunburn sufferers should call a general physician whenever sunburn is accompanied by a fever or by some of the following symptoms: dizziness, extreme thirst, lack of urine, rapid breathing, pale or clammy skin, nausea, chills, rash, sunken eyes, severe blisters and eyes' sensitivity to light. These side effects actually indicate serious problems triggered by sunburn including shock, severe dehydration and heat exhaustion.
– Avoid the sun when it's strongest — between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
– Check whether your medications cause skin sensitivity to the sun.
– Sit under a tree or umbrella to take a break from the sun.
– Don't forget that the sun may be even stronger if it is reflecting off water or sand.
– And finally, the National Health Service reminds us that you can still get sunburn in cloudy or cold weather, so don't think you're in the clear just because the sun isn't shining.
We all need our vitamin D and days in the sun, but sunburn can be quite painful and damaging. Always take precautions so you don't have to worry about these warning signs!

Q: Find closest points (lat / lon) from one data set to a second data set I have two data sets, A and B, which give locations of different points in the UK as such:
A = data.frame(reference = c(C, D, E), latitude = c(55.32043, 55.59062, 55.60859), longitude = c(-2.3954998, -2.0650243, -2.0650542))

B = data.frame(reference = c(C, D, E), latitude = c(55.15858, 55.60859, 55.59062), longitude = c(-2.4252843, -2.0650542, -2.0650243))

A has 400 rows and B has 1800 rows.
For all the rows in A, I would like to find the shortest distance in kilometers between a point in A and each of the three closest points in B, as well as the reference and coordinates in lat and long of these points in B.
I tried using this post
R - Finding closest neighboring point and number of neighbors within a given radius, coordinates lat-long
However, even when I follow all the instructions, mainly using the command distm from the package geosphere, the distance comes up in a unit that can't possibly be kilometers. I don't see what to change in the code, especially since I am not familiar at all with the geo packages.

A: I add below a solution using the spatialrisk package. The key functions in this package are written in C++ (Rcpp), and are therefore very fast.
The function spatialrisk::points_in_circle calculates the observations within radius from a center point. Note that distances are calculated using the Haversine formula. Since each element of the output is a data frame, purrr::map_dfr is used to row-bind them together:
purrr::map2_dfr(A$latitude, A$longitude,
                  ~spatialrisk::points_in_circle(B, .y, .x,
                                                 lon = longitude,
                                                 lat = latitude,
                                                 radius = 1e6)[1:3,],
                .id = "id_A")

A: geosphere library has several functions to help you. distGeo returns meters.
Note the data must be arranged Lon then Lat.
library(geosphere)

A = data.frame(longitude = c(-2.3954998, -2.0650243, -2.0650542), latitude = c(55.32043, 55.59062, 55.60859))

B = data.frame(longitude = c(-2.4252843, -2.0650542, -2.0650243), latitude = c(55.15858, 55.60859, 55.59062))

Vector of distances in meters

A: Here is solution using a single loop and vectorizing the distance calculation (converted to km).
The code is using base R's rank function to order/sort the list of calculated distances.
The indexes and the calculated distances of the 3 shortest values are store back in data frame A.
library(geosphere)

A = data.frame(longitude = c(-2.3954998, -2.0650243, -2.0650542), latitude = c(55.32043, 55.59062, 55.60859))
B = data.frame(longitude = c(-2.4252843, -2.0650542, -2.0650243), latitude = c(55.15858, 55.60859, 55.59062))

for(i in 1:nrow(A)){
  #calucate distance against all of B
  distances<-geosphere::distGeo(A[i,], B)/1000
  #rank the calculated distances
  ranking<-rank(distances, ties.method = "first")

  #find the 3 shortest and store the indexes of B back in A
  A$shortest[i]<-which(ranking ==1) #Same as which.min()

  A$short[i]<-which(ranking ==3)

  #store the distances back in A

As M Viking pointed out, for the geosphere package the data must be arranged Lon then Lat.

A: I know this is a long way but, in this question, there exists a formula for calculation the distance on your own. So if we convert those codes into the R we can do the same by just using base R.
Function :
rad = function(x) {
    return(x * pi / 180)

}

getDistance = function(p1, p2) {

        R = 6378137 #  Earth's mean radius in meter
        dLat = rad(p2[1] - p1[1])
        dLong = rad(p2[2] - p1[2])

        a = ( sin(dLat / 2) * sin(dLat / 2) +
        cos(rad(p1[1])) * cos(rad(p2[1])) *
            sin(dLong / 2) * sin(dLong / 2)  )

        c = 2 * atan2(sqrt(a),sqrt(1 - a))
        d = R * c
  return(d)  # returns the distance in meter
}

Example :
p1 <- c(55.32043 , -2.395500)
p3 <- c(55.15858 , -2.425284)

getDistance(p1,p3)
18115.96

Thus, once we can call those two functions, we can calculate any distance between two locations. So,
output <-lapply( 1:nrow(A), function(i)
         lapply(1:nrow(B), function(j)
             cbind(A[i,],B[j,],Distance=getDistance(as.numeric(A[i,-1]),as.numeric(B[j,-1])))

           ))

do.call(rbind,lapply(1:3,function(i) do.call(rbind,output[[i]])))

gives,
   reference latitude longitude reference latitude longitude  Distance

The secondary migration of refugees resettled in the US
Jeffrey Bloem and Scott Loveridge
bloem-loveridge.pdf
More and more refugees are resettled in communities where they have no intention of living and then move on.
While the assumptions underlying the current refugee resettlement system in the United States (US) may have been true 35 years ago, the likelihood of an arriving refugee having no connections in the US diminishes every year. Every year the odds increase that an incoming refugee will have family or friends already living in the US, and advances in global connectivity have aided future refugees to keep in touch with former refugees. So incoming refugees, now more than ever, have strong connections and geographic preferences when arriving in the US. In recent years, homogeneous ethnic or cultural communities have begun to spring up all over the country, a phenomenon that refugee resettlement policy, which aims rather to 'spread the burden' of refugees across the country under a policy of dispersal in the initial placement of refugees, is actually designed to prevent.
It may seem unlikely that newly arrived refugees would spend their scarce financial resources on moving onwards when they have so many other challenging expenses. Refugees must repay a loan for the cost of their flight to their new home. Within six months they must begin paying rent. To do this they must quickly find a job. Picking up everything they own, again, and moving does not seem like something many refugees would choose to do. Yet, the data tell us, many do move.
In both fiscal year 2012 and 2013, the US accepted roughly 70,000 refugees; within a year of arrival, over 10,000 of the 2012 cohort and over 11,000 of the 2013 cohort had moved out of their initial resettlement community. However, these statistics only reflect what is reported to the US Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and are probably underestimates of the true rates of secondary migration.
In some places secondary migration has massive consequences. For example, Minnesota accepted roughly 2,000 refugees in 2012 and 2013 but by the end of each fiscal year it had received over 2,000 more refugees through secondary migration, largely into the Minneapolis-St Paul metropolitan area.
Refugees move for the same reasons that any other person would move: to migrate towards increased job prospects, lower housing costs or better school systems; to live closer to friends or family members; or to take advantage of some geographical location or environmental amenity. It is rather the ways in which refugees differ from the average mover that make their secondary migration remarkable, as refugees generally have less wealth, initially do not have a full-time job, potentially do not speak English fluently, and have little knowledge about life in the US.
Finding out why refugees move on
When the US first began resettling refugees, the community in which they were initially assigned to live was as good as any other community in the country. Thirty-five years on, better alternatives exist – and refugees are increasingly aware of them. There are several factors in why refugees need to move on.
The incentive to remain silent: The most convenient time to gather information from refugees on their geographical preferences is during pre-resettlement interviews and meetings with them. There may, however, be an incentive for refugees to withhold information on their preferences due to a mistrust of bureaucratic officials or for fear of ruining their chances of actually being resettled in a third country. Remaining as amenable as possible may be a rational strategy for some refugees. Preferences may exist but the refugee may strategically withhold it believing that moving after arrival may well be a safer option compared with the risk of possibly losing the life-changing opportunity of resettlement. .
Gains versus losses: Refugees make choices based on gains and losses. Prior to arrival in the US, preferences tend to be general. Safety and resettlement anywhere is a gain, while remaining in a refugee camp or in danger due to violence is a loss. After arrival, however, the relative gains and losses from living in different locations shift and inform the decision to stay or move on.
Updated geographical information: Refugees may know about the whereabouts of their friends or family but may underestimate the distances in the US. Prior to their arrival, incoming refugees may wrongly assume that they will easily be able to visit relatives and friends already living in the US, simply because they will reside in the same country. Upon arrival refugees may desire to move in order to be nearer to their friends and family – and they may only realise this once they arrive in the country.
Network decision making: Relatively large groups of highly networked refugees now call various communities home. Some of these groups make migratory decisions as a group but arriving refugees may not have any idea where the group is planning on moving until after they arrive.
'State-shopping': Refugee resettlement programmes are extremely complex, with funds for assistance services coming from various budgetary streams, both public and private. Furthermore, eligibility for various services such as temporary assistance to needy families, Medicaid (the social health-care programme for families and individuals with limited resources) and employment assistance varies quite noticeably between states. This results in refugees engaging in so-called state-shopping in search of a location where they stand the best chance of becoming self-sufficient. In addition, stories and rumours circulate about where the best services and organisations are located. Friends who may have had a good experience with the services of a particular local resettlement organisation in a different community may influence an incoming refugee to migrate into this organisation's service area in search of a similar experience.
Any refugee resettlement practitioner will be quick to point out how important it is that refugees remain in their initial resettlement location for at least the first 90 days. Once a refugee moves, it is difficult for their services to be administered in the new community. For this reason most local voluntary agencies actively discourage refugees from moving soon after resettlement. Local agencies are acutely aware of the consequences of secondary migration on both the efficacy of the agency's services and the welfare of refugees themselves. Refugees are promised special services for up to five years after arrival and a failure to adequately handle secondary migration places resettlement communities and refugees at risk. Some federal funding is provided for voluntary agencies that are dramatically affected by secondary migration; formulas for allocating such funds, however, are based on numbers of historical resettlement patterns rather than on projections of future patterns and often fall short of local needs.
Efforts to improve the dispersal of refugees resettled in the US have been made in recent years. In 2010 the ORR enumerated a number of principles to guide its services; in the explanation of these principles, however, secondary migration is mentioned only twice. Firstly, it is stated that "Appropriate placement and services from the onset is [sic] seen as a preventative measure against the challenges brought by secondary migration" and, secondly, there is a reference to the intention to develop a data system that can track secondary migration on from initial placements. Better placement techniques and additional data-informed decision making are certainly welcome improvements to the US refugee resettlement system but innovations are needed.
One such innovation often used to combat this issue is to present incoming refugees with a contract. In signing the contract refugees agree to report any information about the whereabouts of anybody they know who is currently living in the US. Additionally they agree not to move within the first 90 days of their arrival in the US under penalty of forfeiting their right to core services. This policy aims to change the incentives by rewarding refugees who share information but could penalise refugees who do not possess the information they might need in order to communicate what their geographic preferences will be once they arrive in the US.
The question that lies at the core of the challenges brought by secondary migration is whether the initial location should be a community where refugees are expected to settle or whether it is more of a receiving location, a launch pad, where refugees simply receive initial core services. The many implications of the answer to this question must be carefully considered. Given the current reality of resettling refugees and their secondary migration, perhaps the answer is to redesign resettlement to be more dynamic and to account for changing preferences.

Seventh grade language arts builds on the progress made in writing and literary analysis in sixth grade. Students continue to explore a variety of literature selections and themes. The class will start the year by reading a series of short stories that each utilize a different writing style and method of storytelling. In this unit, students write their own short stories as they continue to refine their ideas, organization, and voice. The class will read classic works of literature like Of Mice and Men and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Students will also read Greek Myths as they learn about ancient Greece in social studies. A primary writing focus is learning to write well-structured and detailed essays. Students learn to incorporate evidence to support their own point of view as well highlight an author's message and style.
The topics included in the seventh grade math curriculum are expressions and equations, integers, exponents, percents, trigonometry, geometry, and probability. Students learn how to evaluate variable expressions and solve multi-step equations. They identify where positive and negative integers are on a number line and learn to perform all four operations on integers. Students explore exponent rules and apply them to simplify exponential expressions. For percents, they utilize their understanding of how to find a percent of a number to determine percent change as well as simple and compound interest. In the trigonometry unit, students use the Pythagorean Theorem and trigonometric ratios to determine missing side lengths in right triangles. In geometry, students explore the attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids, and also apply transformations on shapes in the coordinate plane. In probability, students distinguish between independent and dependent events and between overlapping and disjoint events to determine the probability for given situations.
In seventh grade science, students begin the year with measurement and the metric system applying their knowledge throughout various hands-on labs. Students later use the Engineering Design Process to create a solution to a real-world problem. During this experiential learning project, students advance their graphing, researching, and analytical skills. Focusing on physics through experimentation and design initially, later supports the teaching of Newton's Laws of Motion, gravity, and friction. Students investigate how potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy by building a rollercoaster and share their findings with iMovie. The year culminates with students constructing balloon-powered cars that challenge them to apply their physics knowledge in a competitive race.
World History is the focus of the seventh grade social studies curriculum. A variety of assessments such as creative writing assignments, analysis of primary sources, and project-based learning are used to determine student comprehension and progress. Students also read novels that are connected to the social studies units to deepen their appreciation for the culture, history and challenges of the land. Students begin with Ancient Greece and study the city-states, government, and important figures from the time. Next, they learn about Ancient Rome and analyze the rise and fall of the empire. Students learn about Ancient Rome's changing government, impressive inventions, and military conquests. During the final unit on Ancient China, students study the most influential dynasties, their religious beliefs, and the importance of the Silk Road.
Students in seventh grade Hebrew focus on being able to speak, write, and read using the present, past, and future tenses along with new prepositions and phrases. Students continue to improve their ability to express thoughts effectively in speech and in writing. Students also read a full-length novel in class to expand vocabulary and experience Israeli literature. Students analyze and describe major events, themes, and concepts in Hebrew.
Students focus on historical events leading from the destruction of the Second Temple to the birth of the State of Israel. Major topics include: Jewish expulsion, major events in Europe, Asia and Africa in the early 20th century. They are introduced to famous biblical commentators and their interpretations and style.
In seventh grade Jewish studies, students deepen their understanding of Jewish holidays and their historical, natural/agricultural, and faith-based foundation. They learn how our customs and traditions enrich and strengthen them as individuals within our Jewish community. Prayers and blessings related to the holidays are recited and Hebrew stories connected to the Jewish holidays are studied.
Students develop a meaningful relationship with Israel through personal connections with language, people, places, and events. As an ancient land and modern state, we teach our students that Israel is a home for diverse and vibrant expressions of Judaism. Through our cutting-edge Hebrew language curriculum, experiential programs, and Israeli young emissaries (Shinshinim), our students engage with Israel at all grade levels and feel a deep connection to their homeland. Students in seventh grade continue their partnership with a sister school in Haifa, Israel. Students in both schools communicate throughout the year and do joint projects to learn more about each other's cultures and create friendships.
Students work with a variety of drawing tools and multiple types of paints and papers in sophisticated ways. Students learn techniques for drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. Within each grade level, elements of art such as line, shape, form, color, texture, value, and space are taught. Emphasis is put on the process of creating art rather than the finished product. Art history is an important component of our curriculum; students study different artists and art movements from the past to the present. Some movements that may be included are: Impressionism, Abstract, Folk and Pop Art. Throughout the year, art is integrated with units of study in the classroom and teachers work collaboratively on skills and concepts to deepen learning.
In seventh grade students take what they have learned further by continuing to analyze texts to inform their performances. Students continue to explore their characters' motivations while identifying the natural rhythms of the text to aid them in making decisions about how best to portray a character. Students will also work together to decode Shakespeare and perform scenes from the Bard and other playwrights, which leads up to rehearsing for and performing, the spring musical. Additionally, students will have ample opportunities to demonstrate their speaking and debate skills throughout the year.
Students in physical education classes are encouraged to participate in sports education, teamwork, physical fitness activities and in game strategy in class. In addition to gross and fine motor coordination, stretching and agility middle school students are taught age appropriate sports skills and team communication through drills as well as game-like scenarios. Units include soccer, flag football, team strategy games, floor hockey, ultimate frisbee, individual problem solving games and basketball. Social team building and sportsmanship skills are woven into game like scenarios to teach students, not only the skills to play multiple sports, but the interpersonal skills to function in a fast paced team environment.
