The Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid is Volvo Car Group's most technically advanced model ever - an electric car, hybrid car and high-performance car all rolled into one. The ingenious Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid is available with a full range of colours and specifications including R-Design, while retaining its unique and class-leading 48 g/km emissions.
Accentuated road presence
In 2013, the design team increased the road presence of the V60 Plug-in Hybrid by emphasising its horizontal lines, which visually connects the car directly to the road. The silhouette is a visual reminder that this is no ordinary estate - it's a wagon with a coupé-like appearance. The tailgate displays the D6 AWD badge, hinting at the high levels of performance under its skin.
Redesigned interior
Scandinavian design is exemplified by beautiful, simple shapes and surfaces with any unnecessary clutter removed. This is evident in the interior and exterior. Inside, the attention to detail, the authentic materials - such as wood and leather - and the easy-to-use controls contribute to the in-command driving experience. Model Year 2015 news include a new Piano Black deco option, rotary jewel-like knobs in the centre stack and a frameless inner rear-view mirror.
To give drivers in cold climate extra comfort, three-spoke steering wheels can be specified with electric heating.
Comfortable sport seat
Supportive yet comfortable seats that ensure a fresh and relaxed arrival after the longest of journeys have been one of Volvo strengths for decades. The buyer of the V60 Plug-in Hybrid can specify a new sport seat that retains this traditional comfort and makes a perfect addition to the in-command feel of a true driver's car. It has great hugging side support all the way from the thighs to the shoulders.
Unique new front
The V60 Plug-in Hybrid is also available in an R-Design version, featuring a unique face with a dynamic, expressive nose. The frameless Tech Matte Black grille has high-gloss black stripes, a silk metal diagonal and a refined R-Design emblem. The DRL lights in the outer corners reinforce the low, road-hugging impression. At the rear, the unique diffuser with aero fins is flanked by the round, high-tech R-Design tailpipes.
R-Design interior
The sport seat comes as standard in the R-Design. It features a blend of black nubuck textile and perforated leather. By blending inlays with a perforated look, black leather and contrasting stitching, the design team has created an R-design interior with all the details in perfect harmony, crowned by the black headliner. The new stainless steel tread plate with a bright blue 'R' in the emblem is another exquisite detail.
CHASSIS & POWER TRAIN
Ingenious power blend
The rear axle is powered by an electric motor producing 68 hp and 200 Nm. The electric motor is supplied with power from an 11.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack installed under the floor of the load compartment. The driver selects the required driving mode via three buttons that give the car three entirely different temperaments: Pure, Hybrid or Power.
In Pure mode, the car is powered solely by its electric motor as much as possible. The range is up to 50 kilometres.
Hybrid is the standard setting whenever the car is started. The diesel engine and electric motor cooperate to achieve CO2 emissions (NEDC, mixed driving cycle for certification) of 48 g/km (1.8 l/100km).
In Power mode, the technology is optimised to give the car the maximum possible power. The diesel engine and electric motor combine to deliver a total power output of 215+68 hp and maximum torque of over 600 Nm. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
Save battery power for later
The driver can choose to save battery power in order to drive on pure electricity later on, for instance in an urban green zone or in the heart of a city.
When Save is activated, the on-board system ensures that there is always sufficient charge for driving later in Pure mode. If necessary, the high-tension generator will charge the battery pack so there is sufficient capacity for driving in Pure mode.
Charge at home - cooling or heating in advance
The V60 Plug-in Hybrid can be recharged from a regular power outlet (230V/6A, 10A or 16A fuse) at home or in a parking lot. Recharging time varies with amperage. A full charge with 10A takes 4.5 hours. This is cut to 3.5 hours with 16A, while a 6A charge takes 7.5 hours.
It is also possible while recharging the car to heat or cool the passenger compartment to provide a more comfortable start to your journey. This also means that more battery power is available for actually propelling the car.
The pre-conditioning function can also cool the batteries if necessary. Cooling prior to driving is very important in order to maximise battery charge and thus also range.
The V60 Plug-in Hybrid has two heating systems. In electric mode the car uses a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) air heater. The car also has a diesel-powered heater.
Better pulling power with four-wheel drive (AWD)
Pressing the AWD button activates the electrical four-wheel drive. Instead of the mechanical power transfer of conventional four-wheel drive, the central control unit distributes power between the diesel-driven front wheels and the electrically driven rear axle. The electric four-wheel drive system has been designed as a traction system to provide better grip when starting and when driving on slippery roads, for instance in snow or mud.
When four-wheel drive is activated, the diesel engine operates continuously and the generator ensures that the charge level in the battery pack is sufficient to supply the rear axle with the necessary power.
Regeneration of braking energy
A two-stage braking system is yet another smart feature of the Volvo Plug-in Hybrid. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the system starts braking the rear axle's electric motor. The mechanical brakes are activated only when the situation requires more braking power than the rear axle can provide. The braking energy can be used to recharge the battery.
Adaptive Digital Display
The Adaptive Digital Display uses an active TFT (Thin Film Transistor) crystal display to bring the driver personalised information. There are three themes to choose from: Elegance, Eco and Performance.
The V60 Plug-in Hybrid also comes with an additional Hybrid Theme with blue illumination. It includes hybrid and battery information that supports energy-efficient use of the ingenious driveline.
New infotainment experience – Sensus Connect
The Digital Display theme colours are also echoed in the connected infotainment system Sensus Connect, which is now introduced in the V60 Plug-in Hybrid. It features a refreshed user interface with a number of innovative functions offering customers a fully connected experience.
The cloud-based services allow the driver to find and pay for parking from the car, discover new restaurants at the destination, stream favourite music seamlessly and much more. The driver can also have text messages read out aloud without taking hands off the wheel.
The brand new app Connected Service Booking is only the first step in making the dealer workshop fully integrated into the digital eco-system. The car will not only tell the driver when it's time to visit the garage but also suggest an appointment at the Volvo dealership.
Improved Premium Sound system
The Sensus family also includes an improved top-of-the-line Premium Sound system with a 5x130W amplifier with the next-generation sound enhancement software Dirac Live and up to 12 loudspeakers , including a new long-throw woofer for enhanced bass, new soft dome tweeters for soft highs and new, larger mid-range centre and door speakers.
With the new Premium Sound system by Harman Kardon the driver can enjoy an immersive sound stage with improved bass performance, while being able to turn up the volume with full audio clarity.
IntelliSafe, Volvo's blanket name for all active safety systems, is an important part of the driver-centric approach in the V60 Plug-in Hybrid.
Permanent high beam with groundbreaking technology
The Active High Beam Control eliminates the need to switch between low and high beam. Instead, Active High Beam Control makes it possible keep the headlights on high beam continuously.
When another car approaches from the opposite direction, the system helps to prevent dazzling of the oncoming driver by shading out only as much of the beam as necessary. This is done by an ingenious projector module mechanism integrated into the headlamp. The same benefit applies to drivers in preceding cars.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection technology
New advanced software, including more rapid vision processing, has made it possible to extend Volvo Cars' present detection and auto brake technology to cover certain cyclist situations as well.
The Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake is equipped with an advanced sensor system that scans the area ahead. If a cyclist heading in the same direction as the car suddenly swerves out in front of the car as it approaches from behind and collision is imminent, there is an instant warning and full braking power is applied.
The technology also detects if a pedestrian steps out into the road in front of the car. If the driver does not respond in time, the car can warn and automatically activate the brakes.
City Safety - active up to 50 km/h
The V60 Plug-in Hybrid features the upgraded City Safety system. This system is active at speeds up to 50 km/h. The car automatically brakes if the driver fails to react in time when the vehicle in front slows down or stops - or if the car is approaching a stationary vehicle too fast.
Cornering Light for better visibility
Another innovative option for driving in the dark is the low-speed Cornering Light feature. As an extension of the current Active Bending Light system, it lights up the area the driver is steering towards for safer manoeuvring.
Enhanced Blind Spot Information System - for better visibility
The V60 Plug-in Hybrid offers the enhanced Blind Sport Information System (BLIS), which is radar-based. The technology can now also monitor and alert the driver to rapidly approaching vehicles up to 70 m behind the car. Of course it still informs the driver about vehicles in the blind spots on both sides.
Cross Traffic Alert - covering your back
Cross Traffic Alert uses the radar sensors at the rear end of the car to alert the driver to crossing traffic from the sides when reversing out of a parking space. This is especially helpful in tight and crowded areas where the side view might be limited due to infrastructure, vegetation or other parked cars.
Volvo On Call combined with Bluetooth
The Volvo On Call system can be combined with the Bluetooth mobile phone service. The Bluetooth connection allows hands-free phone conversations as well as music streaming from a preferred Bluetooth enabled portable music player. Volvo is actually the only brand to offer Bluetooth music streaming throughout the entire vehicle range.
Keep in touch via mobile application
A mobile application that makes sure that the driver can stay in touch with the parked car via an iPhone or Android smart phone. The mobile application is an extension of Volvo On Call.
Owners of all new models with Volvo On Call can download the application that opens up a range of connectivity possibilities. The mobile app is free and downloaded via the iPhone and Android application stores. The app is designed to offer the owner an intuitive, easy-to-use relationship with the car from a distance.

MCTM partners offer transportation-related workshops for all age groups, focusing on the youngest and underserved.
For the past 16 years, MTI has proudly hosted the National Garrett Morgan Sustainable Transportation Competition to inspire middle school students to pursue math, science, and careers in transportation. Engineers and planners from sponsors AASHTO, APTA, and Caltrans mentor middle school classroom teams in developing sustainable transportation projects. Final presentations are video streamed live to sites across the U.S., and the U.S. Secretary of Transportation addresses the student teams from the US DOT media center. The most recent competition was held on April 25 and began with a welcome from Secretary Chao. Over 1,200 students have participated to date.
High school students participate in MTI's Summer Transportation Institute (STI), a three-week summer program that helps to prepare students for technical degrees and careers in transit. Through STI, 40-50 students per year earn three college credits emphasizing transportation policy. They learn in the classroom and through field trips to transit centers, bridges and highway infrastructure, and other operational sites. Some recent site visits have included Bay Area Rapid Transit, the Oakland Bay Bridge, Caltrain, the San Jose ITS Traffic Operations Center, an electric automobile factory, the Mineta San Jose Airport, and others.
Howard University also provides an STI program co-sponsored by the District DOT, Maryland State Highway, and Howard University. The goal is to help develop a diverse transportation workforce by exposing middle and high school students to transportation careers. STI recruits 15-25 bright students and exposes them to exciting activities and field trips that help them understand civil engineering as it relates to transportation careers.
Take a look at pictures from the 2018 MSTI program and the SJSU National Flight Academy Class of 2018-09.
MTI will partner with the California Trolley and Railroad Corporation, History San José, and San José Unified School District (over 72 percent non-White), taking 120 students from grades 1-3 back in time to learn about transportation in Silicon Valley from a costumed storyteller, followed by a vintage trolley car ride through the park. The Tracks to the Future portion of the program will discuss transportation innovation, with remarks by a representative from California High Speed Rail and "the Father of Transit in Silicon Valley," Rod Diridon, in whose honor the City of San José renamed its busiest train station.
MTI will partner with Reed Elementary School of the San José Unified School District to for 30 third graders and a schoolwide create an eight-week program college/career day presentation for 497 K-5 students. Each year, these students from diverse backgrounds spend eight weeks studying urban and rural communities. Over the eight weeks, MTI proposes to provide a once-weekly, in-person age-appropriate presentation by transportation professionals. Presenters from a wide range of professions will help students understand the vast array of transportation careers available.
This pilot program will address the critical shortage of qualified operations and maintenance workers by providing economically disadvantaged and ethnically diverse high school students (grades 11 and 12) with a technical education integrating academic content with industry skills. Teachers from San José's East Side Union High School District will work with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) to create courses tailored to the agency's needs. VTA will select interns from a group recommended by the instructor. Successful internship completion qualifies students for entry-level positions.
Compete to qualify for internships and possible full-time positions.
Students will receive dual credit with a community college or post-secondary organization, providing an incentive to pursue advanced training after graduation. Grant funds will be used to develop and deliver the curriculum, finance field trips, and fund internships. The pilot program will be limited to 30 students.
Through K-12 guidance and career counselors, Consortium partners will maintain active outreach to secondary schools, conducting annual education recruitment fairs and ongoing recruitment to secondary and junior college students. Following each WFD event, age-appropriate, post-event evaluations will be collected from each participant. Results will be used to fine-tune program content. Implementation and participation will be documented with photos and narrative in Consortium newsletters, social media posts, federal reporting documents, and the MCTM website.


Our grandchild was over for the night and she brought her dolls with her. We had no daughter so It was interesting for me to watch from a distance to see how she was caught up in the moment, a fantasy that was transformed into a reality that quickly absorbed all her senses. Before discounting this as childish behavior consider daydreamers such as C.S. Lewis who authored the Chronicles of Narnia or A.A. Milne who created Winnie the Pooh. Our best is found from 'Soul Searching,' accessing our inner selves for inspiration and where ultimately we find God, through the assistance of the Holy Spirit. It is where we hear the whispered voice of God.
At the entrance of our Parish church there is a bronze statue of Jesus sitting on a rock, with outstretched arms. It is often the focal point for children, who love to climb all over the statue, much to the consternation of their parents, who naturally view the statue with reverence. If the scene were real we could picture Jesus taking enormous delight in playing with the children, a welcome break in his otherwise demanding mission.
There is a constant theme of children in the life of Jesus, who came to us as a helpless child – our humble God – totally dependent upon a peasant teenage mother. The message is one of total humility, with one aim in mind – to break into and live in our hearts. What pride we have, for over two thousand years, to side-step this message.
What makes it so important for our God to completely humble himself before us?
These are powerful words that seem out of reach. How can we possibly disregard all those adult, secular props that keep us members of society and become like children?
What makes a mere child so worthy to be the greatest in the kingdom? Are not we who attend Masses and retreats, say our prayers and receive the sacraments worthy?
What are the characteristics of a child that makes this so important to Jesus? Love, trust, hope, innocence, purity, and in those days, obedience (Luke 2:51). Such attributes allow a child to live in security, free of stress and able to pursue their own thoughts and dreams.
Society has become transfixed upon the very thing that denies us the truth. We go to the movies or a show or read a book and become engrossed in a plot that places us elsewhere — on a battlefield, or emotionally involved in a romantic affair. The bombs burst and the music plays and we become absorbed.
How do we bridge that gap? How do we get to say what Peter knows — "you are the Holy one of God"? What enables us to step off that cliff?
It is by being like a child and putting our absolute trust in God that He will catch us. It can happen through the Grace of God all of a sudden, but for most of us we reach a place, where we are alone. Where everything and everyone has departed, and there is nowhere else to turn. We fall on our knees and beg God to relieve the stress or to take the pain away.
As in so many situations in life there is another way – The Way. We know that there is nothing else that truly satisfies. An apt metaphor in this case is 'baby steps'.
Bit by bit we can change our habits, turn off the TV, put the iPhone away, begin to attend Mass, start reading scripture, spend some quiet time with God, reconcile ourselves to Him, thank Him for all our gifts. Then, quite unexpectedly, we realize that he is listening, and there will come a change.
Part of our human psyche causes us to judge others as we judge ourselves. It is a learned experience that we use to compete with others, or to convince ourselves that our enemy is evil. For countless generations Christianity has caused our hearts to compare a God that is both loving and judgmental, merciful and vengeful. Our most generous view is usually a God of rules and consequences. Catholicism is well known as the religion of no.
How can we expect to feel comfortable around our God? The truth is vastly different and we are capable of understanding God for who he is.
Consider the role of a parent and a child. There is no question that in a well regulated family the parent loves the child more than life itself. The great divide is that the parent is older and wiser, while the child is aggressive to grow up. The parent seeks to shield the child from danger, to which the child is oblivious. Having warned of the danger more than once the parent can become legitimately exasperated, but that does not lessen the love for the child.
How many of us stubborn children have had to wait until we are parents ourselves to understand the Love of a parent. How many times should we multiply that love to explain the Love of God – infinitely.
Take a moment to understand the personality of our God. He came to us as a baby and grew up to be our Teacher, a vocation of Love for all his children. He was a man of action, bringing peace in a troubled and stressful world. He hurt none and healed all who believed in him. He made lifelong friends, many of whom were willing to die for him.
Listen to the words that his son uses to describe his Father: He knows our every need (Mat 6:8); He teaches us how to converse with Him (Mat 6:9); He wants to care for us (Mat 6:26 and 10:29); Care for us with a loving hand (Mat 11:29); He wants to smother us with gifts (Mat 7:11); He wants us to be family (Mat12:50); Inheritors of His Kingdom (Luke 12:32).
Many times when asked, God changed his mind, which is his true measure of mercy. The correct translation of seventy times seven is infinite, since seven is the number of perfection. There is one time when God changes his mind on his own. It is when he sends his Angel to hold the hand of Abraham from killing his son – He could not ask his friend to do such a deed and yet he does not stop the execution of his own Son. We have to ask ourselves what kind of God is this. A God that wants us to call Him Father.
The beauty of God's plan stretches back to before the creation of time. It has been constant through the ages, yet we still have difficulty in understanding it's simplicity. We have been given all the tools to change the world, to steal it from Satan, to create heaven on Earth by living God's commandments and loving Him first and all others before ourselves. For this he rewards us with eternal life in the peace and joy of his presence.
Our God can't wait for us to reach Heaven, and will not leave us to our own devices, for he is with us every step of the way.
Reflect upon the long and intimate lineage of the Eucharist. The purity of unleavened bread; Manna in the desert (Exodus 16); Manna to be kept as a witness to the saving love of God (Exodus 33); Showbread the 'Bread of the Presence' (Exodus 25:30). The Last Supper (Mat 26) was not a reenactment of the Passover, it was the precursor of a new beginning. Jesus was preparing us to receive a new bread. He gave us himself.
God gives himself to us, as often as we want – to be part of us all the time. He is reluctant to let go of the back of the bicycle seat. What kind of a Father is that? Jesus is certainly not a fantasy so why not lose our inhibitions and with childlike innocence learn to Love, Trust and yes obey this God who wants us to call Him Daddy.

St. Scuithin (fl. 6th/7th century) also known as Scolan, Scothin or Scuitin was a medieval Irish saint with strong Welsh connections.
Sometime in the 6th century Scuthin left Ireland to pursue a life of cenobitic monasticism at Tyddewi  in Wales founded by St. David, whom at a later date he is reported to have saved from poisoning.

According to the Irish Ecclesiastical Record, St. Scuithin, having attained advanced ascetic virtues, returned to Ireland c. 540 to live the life of a hermit monk, building himself an austere and isolated cell.
This cell was located at Freynestown, on the Johnswell hills in the ancient barony of Slieve Margy, Kingdom of Ossory. This habitat would become known in Irish as tigh scuithin and evolve into Tiscoffin monastery as noted in the List of monastic houses in Ireland.

In the Irish language tigh scuithin  means the house/abode of Scuithin. This has been anglicised as Tiscoffin and preserved as one of the civil parishes in Ireland within the Kilkenny Barony of Gowran. The county Kilkenny town of Castlewarren in the Diocese of Ossory also preserves his name with the church of St. Scuithin. The townland of Freynestown is closely associated with St. Scuithin.

St. Scuithin of Bed-Yscolan
There exists an apparently significant historical reference to St. Scuithin in the ancient annals of Wales. William Forbes Skene, in the Four Ancient Books of Wales, (Edinburgh, 1868) while reviewing poems in the Black Book of Carmarthen makes reference to this saint. There is a poem in which St. Scuithin, described as Yscolan, is confronted by the figure of Myrddin Wyllt. A portion of the poem reads:

Black thy horse, black thy cope, black thy head, black thyself, Yes, black art thou, Yscolan.
I am Yscolan the scholar, slight is my clouded reason, there is no drowning the woe of him who offends a sovereign....

Skene further states that the same name occurs in the lives of St. David, when he is said to have met an Irish ecclesiastic called Scuthyn, at a place later called Bed-y-Scolan.

Asceticism of St. Scuithin

It is recorded that St. Scuithin  led a life of austere self-discipline  and on being quizzed by his contemporary St. Brendan how he was preserved from temptation, he responded that whenever he slept, two heavenly virgins, i.e., divine hope and charity, kept watch by his side to protect him from evil attack. He was so spiritualized by his constant penance, and so unconcerned with worldly attractions, that he is said to have been able to walk on water.

Legend states that once while performing this act on the waters between Ireland and Wales he met St. Finbarr in his boat. St. Scuithin   grasped a variegated flower - a scuitliin from the water and threw it to St. Finbarr saying: "See how, by the mercy of God, it is in a flowery meadow that we are journeying." To which St. Finbarr replied: "This is not a flowery meadow, but the sea;" and plunging his hand into the water, he caught a salmon which he tossed to St. Scuithin, saying: "See how richly it is supplied by God to minister to our wants."

The note in the Felire of St. Oengus adds, that it was on account of that variegated flower that our Saint received his name of Scuithin.

St. Scuithin of Slieve Margy and St. Gobban of Old Leighlin

The ancient habitat and personae of St. Scuithin is often confused with that of St. Gobban of Old Leighlin which is some seven kilometres  distant. St. Gobban founded his monastery in the early 7th century; it would later evolve into St. Laserian's Cathedral, Old Leighlin, County Carlow. Confusion exists regarding the various holy men named St. Goban.

The close proximity of these two ancient ecclesiastical sites, plus the passage of time, distortion of language and dialect has entwined and confused the true identities of these saints of early Celtic Christianity. St. Scuithin and St. Goban were two distinct historical persons.

St. Scuithin in the Annals

He was described in the History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory as:

Scothin, son of Setnae. son of Trebthach, son of Dal, son of Laidir (Cu-corb's charioteer), son of Imrossa Nith, son of Fertlachtga, son of Fergus mac Roig.

He is also entered January 2, in The Martyrology of Donegal as:

Sguithin of Tech-Sguithin, in Sliabh Mairge, in Leinster.

Two ancient manuscripts in the Bibliothèque Royale, Brussels preserve St. Scuithin's memory in poetry:

And on Scoithin of great Slieve Margy – known for his holy rigour.

Pregnancy - Baby Names
19 Old Fashioned Girl Names Making A Comeback
by Lisa Milbrand
Old fashioned girl names, just like fashion trends, always manage to come back into style—usually a few generations after their last popularity spike. (So expect to see names like Jennifer, Jessica, and Lisa coming back into style in about 50 years!) Consider these 20 classic girl names which are ripe for a comeback—if they haven't already started their ascent in popularity.
One of our favorite old fashioned girl names has become red-hot—even as variant spellings like Adalynn take root.
Most famously the heroine of the classic Wonderland tales, Alice is currently making a bit of a comeback in popularity.
If you're looking for vintage baby names, Aurelia should top your list. This ancient Roman era name means "gold," and recently reentered the top 1000 girl names after a six-decade absence.
One of the most beloved old fashioned girl names, Beatrice means "she who brings happiness," and it was used for one of Shakespeare's most beloved heroines in Much Ado About Nothing, and as big-sister "Beezus" in the beloved Ramona children's series.
An old-school virtue name, Charity connotes kindness and compassion.
This pretty classic is making a comeback, thanks to the Doctor Who companion.
This sweet name means mercy—and has an association with the small and sweet citrus fruit—but it's still associated with that tragic folk song.
Most popular around the time Judy Garland wore the ruby slippers in the technicolor classic Wizard of Oz, Dorothy is due for a comeback. It's one of the old fashioned girl names, and means "gift from God."
Consider this one of the oldest of the old girl names. Edith means "prosperous," and was a top 40 baby name pick for a half century before beginning a steady decline. It's enjoyed a huge resurgence over the past decade.
A feminization of the affable George, Georgiana shares its meaning, "farmer." If you're big into classic English literature, you'll remember several Georgianas appearing in favorite books, but especially as Darcy's young sister in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
One of the vintage girl names that's just starting to make a comeback, Harriet has a strong meaning—ruler—and some cool namesakes, including Underground Railroad heroine Harriet Tubman and the kids' classic character, Harriet the Spy.
A name that means "bright, shining light," Helena's a softer take on Helen, another one of those vintage girl names we love. Helena appears in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, and in the Harry Potter series, as the ghost of the daughter of one of Hogwarts founders.
Louisa is a fierce name—literally. It means "brave warrior," and it's finally back into the top 1000 names after a 50-year hiatus.
A recent darling among celebs who love vintage girl names—including Dermot Mulroney, Bruce Willis, and Russell Brand—Mabel is just outside the top 500 girl names in the U.S. It has a lovely meaning—"lovable."
The name of the very first First Lady has Biblical roots—and it's also connected to lifestyle guru Martha Stewart, and to the capable workforce in the Handmaid's Tale. The name means "lady."
Thanks to the Broadway musical and its use for celebrity offspring, Matilda has become one of the most stylish old-fashioned girl names. It means "mighty."
These luminescent jewels from the sea make one of the lovelier classic girl names.
A sweet variant on the also-lovely Sylvia, Sylvie just broke into the top 1000. It means "from the forest."
If you love vintage baby names, Theodora should be right up your alley. It's a common name amongst Greek royalty, and means "gift of God."
Winifred
You can pay homage to a male Fred in your family with this winning name. Winifred is a Welsh name that means "blessed peacemaking," and comes with a few sweet nicknames—Winnie or Fred.

A good writer goes to war
Posted by D.A Lascelles in Musings, TV
Coupling, Doctor Who, Plotting, reviews, Russel T Davies, Steve Moffat
This week there were three important things going on. Two of them were important mainly to Americans while the other is an occasion which is often under-celebrated but is still dear to the hearts of all British Sci Fi geeks (and geeks worldwide, of course).
I speak, of course, of Thanksgiving, the anniversary of the Assassination of JFK and the anniversary of the first ever broadcast of Doctor Who. The last two are inextricably linked because, as legend has it, the BBC had to delay the broadcast of An Unearthly Child (episode one of the first series of Doctor Who) when the news of the Presidential assassination broke. Also, there was a photograph of the Doctor in Dallas at the time of the assassination shown in an episode of the new series, which ties the two together even closer*. As far as I am aware, Thanksgiving has nothing whatsoever to do with Doctor Who, though I can imagine at some point in the future there could potentially be a Pilgrim/Turkey/Superbowl themed episode in which the Doctor faces an alien horde of American Football players. Well, it could happen.**
So, to celebrate the anniversary, I decided to re-watch 'A Good Man Goes to War', the mid series climax of series six which set things up for the second half of series six. It was while watching this that I began to have some ponderings.
Now, I am aware that Stephen Moffat's take on Who has not been as popular with some as it might have been. There has been a lot of noise on the internets about how Matt Smith is not as good as David Tennant (almost as much as there was about David Tennant not being as good as Christopher Ecclestone… and frankly, every Doctor and companion since William Hartnell has had their supporters and decriers) and I can imagine that some of the weirder elements of Moffat's stories to date might confuse and annoy some viewers. However, I am personally of the opinion that he is the best man for the job of showrunner on this franchise. I shall explain why.
Moffat has an almost unique skill with storytelling. It is obvious in almost everything he does. I would almost hazard a guess that he sees the structure of story in a different way to the majority of writers and uses this to his advantage. Even as far back as Coupling, the quirky sitcom he wrote way back in 2000 and which ran for 4 years, he was showing a strange way of plotting and presenting his stories for television. Coupling showcased stories running in parallel on split screens, real time progression similar to that seen on 24 and other little touches such as replaying scenes from the PoV of different characters. There were in this mix some elements of non-linear storytelling too – touches which might not have seemed relevant on initial glance by the viewer but which later, when other elements are brought to light, take on a whole new meaning. Moffat would sometimes spend an entire episode building up to a joke, taking a throwaway comment from the start of the story and imbuing it with comedic meaning later. Not all of these touches were unique – some of them were seen in other comedy shows such as Father Ted and the IT Crowd – however, Moffat made good use of them. He also demonstrated in Coupling an ability to really understand human relationships and write a damned good romance plot without mawkish sentimentalism or over the top drama. Whether it was the occasionally rocky long term relationship between Susan and Steve (a couple with names frighteningly similar to him and his wife…), the doomed and often unrequited affairs of ubergeek, Jeff, or the 'we're just friends, honest' romance between Patrick and Sally he managed to make the viewers feel connected to the people involved. It hurts when Jeff got rebuffed because he said something inappropriate and you felt sorry for Steve when he gets dumped (again) for something he said or did.
These are the skills that Moffat brought to the episodes he wrote during Russel T Davies's reign as showrunner of Doctor Who. The benefit of those skills is quite clear in episodes like The Girl in the Fireplace and Blink, both considered to be among the best episodes of any Doctor Who series ever. He pulls out all the stops in those skills in series 5 and series 6 when he pulls together an elaborate pair of series long stories in which elements seemingly appear randomly but are, in fact, important parts of an overall scheme which does not make sense until the final episodes. Some think that it was ambitious of Russel T Davies to run storylines that ran entire series instead of sticking to standalones, Moffat has gone one better and threaded a single story (the mystery of River Song – warning, SPOILERS) through not only two series he has managed himself but also at least two episodes (Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead) in a series he was not in charge of. Some of that story is running in reverse and there are bits of it scattered all over the place in little clues and tid bits. That level of plotting takes, I think, an exceptional mind capable of managing to organise many different threads under what is almost certainly a very high pressure circumstance.
Now, not to say there are no faults to be seen here. Sometimes he goes too far with the silliness (though even the most ludicrous of his plots, such as 'A good man goes to war' and 'The Big Bang' where incredibly silly things are done to time and space, he seems to pull it off with panache and have us believing it is all possible). Some of his elements are overused, such as the Weeping Angels (a great idea but better in small doses) and I do worry that someday he may try to be too clever and lose all his audience. However, overall, everything he has written so far for the series has not suffered for these flaws and I hope that this continues to be the case.
So, say what you like about Matt Smith as the Doctor. I personally like him and think he does a great job but I know some don't. He, however, is not entirely to blame for the success of the current run of Doctor Who. I lay that fault entirely at the feet of a man who clearly sees the patterns of time and space in much the same way as The Doctor does, especially where they relate to storylines and plot and bizarre surprises.
* Series 1, episode One – Rose. The conspiracy theorist has a photo which places Christopher Ecclestone in the crowd at Dallas.
** If anyone in the BBC wants me to write this episode, you may contact me through this blog. I am always willing to oblige in these matters 🙂

Rapunzel has been kept locked up in a tower for almost eighteen years by witch Gothel, who she believes is her mother. But her real parents, the King and Queen, have not given up hope that one day she may return to them. And every year they celebrate her birthday, by releasing one sky-lantern for every year that's she's been gone. Back at the tower, Rapunzel's solitude is broken by the arrival of three Fairies, who persuade her to let them transport her to the outside world. Gothel discovers Rapunzel has been freed, and enlists the help of two villains to return her to the tower. The scene is now set for a daring rescue, with the use of a drone?
12 principals plus smaller speaking roles for Sergeant and Soldiers. And a chorus of children and adults with several lines.
Willie runs on (SL) He has a sink-plunger sticking out of his back pocket.
(to audience) Hello everybody and welcome to the village of Bouffant! I'm Willie, the royal gofer. I used to be the royal jester, but I gave it up because everybody kept laughing at me. But I got so used to people cheering whenever I came on, that it makes me sad when it doesn't happen now. Do you think you could all cheer really loudly whenever I come on, and make me feel happy again? (audience respond) Let's try it then. (exits and re-enters) Brilliant!
I didn't know you were a golfer, Willie.
I said, 'gofor', not 'golfer'!
I thought gophers were large American rats.
I think they're called 'groundhogs'.
No! 'Gofor'! As in whenever their majesties want anything fetching, I go for it.
Although the thing they want more than anything in the world, I can't get them.
Why Princess Rapunzel of course.
Gosh, I'd almost forgotten about the Princess. How long has she been gone now?
Almost eighteen years. And every year on her birthday, their majesties go to the tallest tower in the palace and release one sky-lantern for every year she's been gone.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Princess returned home this year?
That sounds like Nurse Hetty.
I'm off! The last time we bumped into her, she made us all buy raffle tickets to win a meal for two with a famous celebrity, at…(local posh restaurant).
What she didn't say, was that she was the celebrity and the winner paid the bill.
What makes Hetty think she's a celebrity?
She once understudied Maria, in an amateur production of The Sound of Music.
That doesn't qualify her for celebrity status.
Try telling her that. (to Villagers) Let's scarper.
Nurse Hetty Hairspray enters (SL) singing.
#Doe a deer, a female…# (spots Willie) Hello Willie! (to audience) And hello to you too. I'm Nurse Hetty Hairspray, the royal nanny. I used to look after Princess Rapunzel, before she was taken from us by an evil witch called 'Gothel'. (elicit audience sympathy) It's sadder than that! (audience respond) Actually you're lucky to catch me, because I'm just on my way to the gym. Well you don't get a fantastic figure like mine by being a couch-potato. I work out all the time to keep my body in shape.
(aside to audience) I can never work out what shape it's meant to be.
Actually Willie, I'd like your advice about something.
My Wii's gone all funny. What do you suggest I do?
I suggest you see a doctor.
Do they fix computers on the NHS, then?
(suddenly realises) Oh, you mean your Wii consul?
I'll pop round later and take a look at it.
Wonderful! And afterwards, perhaps you could fix my consul. Speaking of doctors. I was there yesterday, and it drove me mad listening to the same song playing over and over, in the waiting room.
I blame that new receptionist. She's got a one track mind. (laughs) A 'one track' mind? Funnily enough, I was also at the doctor's recently. I said, 'doctor, one minute I think I'm Mickey Mouse and the next I think I'm Donald Duck'.
He said 'how long have you been having these Disney spells'? (laughs) Get it? 'Disney' spells?
(to audience) You can see why he gave up being a jester, can't you? (to Willie) Can I trust you with a little secret, Willie?
Yes, Hetty. It'll just be between me, you and Facebook.
Well just tell this Facebook person, not to breathe a word to anybody.
So what's this secret, then?
I fancy someone at the palace, and want to ask them out. But I never know what to say.
What happened to that Dutchman you were going out with?
You mean 'Vincent Van Pump', the man who invented inflatable shoes?
He stepped on a nail and popped his clogs. (to audience) Think about it.
Have you ever been married, Hetty?
Yes. I was wed for over twenty-five years. My husband was a man of rare gifts. They were so rare I never saw any. But he did have one big asset. (to audience) Behave yourselves now, this is a family show! But despite his enormous, life insurance policy. I filed for divorce on the grounds of ill health.
Yes. I was sick of him. Anyway, I was wondering if you had any chat up tips.
It's quite simple, really. You just have to summon up the courage.
(hoisting her chest) Summon up the courage!
Be a man…I mean a 'woman'. Just be yourself.
Now, are you ready to win your heart's desire?
Then strike whilst the iron's hot.
Go right up to them.
(getting more excited) Yes! Yes!
And give them a big sloppy kiss.
(can no longer control herself) Ooohh! (grabs him in a clinch) Kiss me, lover-boy!
(horrified) You were talking about me!?
Yes! Marry me, and we'll make beautiful music together.
(struggling) Sorry, but I'm tone deaf.
You just need a good tuning. (knowingly) And I have all the right tools.
What do you think I am? A piano?
No, but life with me will certainly be 'grand'.
(gasping for breath) I feel faint!
(knowingly) I know what I mean.
I'm sorry Hetty, but I can't possibly marry you. Not after the things I've heard.
(releasing him) What have you heard?
That some strange man grabbed you outside the…(name of local pub)…last Friday, and started kissing you all over and you never said a word.
Well of course I didn't. Mother always told me never to talk to strangers. (tries grabbing him again) Now give us a kiss.
(evading her) Sorry, but I really must go. I have to unblock the royal loo.
(grabs him again) Give me a kiss first.
Okay! Okay! (pushing her off) Now close your eyes and pucker up.
(laughing to audience) Look boys and girls! A Dalek!
(pulls plunger off her face) And you're about to be exterminated!
(pointing behind her) Lookout, it's the Doctor!
(stops) What is it now, Socket?
Let me see that job-ad again.
(produces a piece of paper) See? 'Wanted. Two ruthless villains for varied work. Interviews are being held in the upstairs room of…(name of local pub)'.
Where did you get that ad?
It's an alternative internet for baddies. We'll probably get paid in bitcoins.
I want paying in whole coins, not bits of coins.
'Bitcoins' are virtual currency, you idiot!
You're the idiot, if you think I'm willing to be paid in virtual money.
(spots audience and exclaims) Eavesdroppers! (warning audience) You'd better forget everything you've just heard.
Not you! (pointing at audience) Them!
Oh, right. I wondered about that. Only if I forget everything I've just heard, I won't have a clue why I'm here.
I sometimes wonder that myself. I just hope none of them try sneaking in ahead of us.
Do you think there might be some villains amongst them, then?
Well I've noticed several dodgy-looking ones, for a start.
I'll just ask them. (to audience) Are any of you lot villains? (audience respond and he turns to Ball) I think we might have some competition.
Well they can't be villains in this show.
Because they won't know any of the lines.
Yes! It's called a script?
(to audience) You learn something new every day, don't you? (pointing at the bag) What's in the bag?
Hats. (holds up the bag) They're part of my cunning plan to make sure we get this job.
How will hats help us land the job?
Well you know what they say. 'If you want to get ahead, get a hat'.
But I've already got a head.


This Damned Body Week 1: Year One from [redacted] Theater Company. Part of the 2015 Digital Fringe.
The featured shows for the this year's Philadelphia Fringe Festival were just announced, with the 2015 festival set to run September 3-19. But online the Fringe has already begun. This festival will include a new component, the Digital Fringe, which provides a platform and promotion for digital artists featuring apps, online games, interactive websites, web series, and podcasts.
As part of this new festival component, [redacted] Theater Company, who have previously performed intimacy-centered live shows (such as 2014′s Earnestness #2 and Juniper Street), announces a two-year long project overlapping art and life. This Damned Body: A Living Archive of Transformation will give viewers an inside look at the victories and tribulations of co-artistic director Swift Shuker's medical gender transition. The archive, at thisdamnedbody.com, went online December 1, 2014 and will be updated daily until January 1, 2017.
The archive features photos, videos, audio, and text dissecting the experience of the gender transition. Videos focus on such aspects of the process such as "The First Appointment" or "How to Tuck". Combined, the various media provide a complete picture of a medical gender transition. Just like Swift's body, the website (designed by co-artistic director Joshua McLucas) undergoes major transformations at key points in the process. A countdown ticks away the hours until it becomes something brand new, revealing secrets and creating new discoveries. The next major transformation will occur on August 28, 2015, days before the Fringe.
This Damned Body will also includes three live performances written, directed, and performed by Swift Shuker and their partner Naia Poyer, one per year. The first, This Damned Body is Carved Out of Meat, will be performed August 28 – 30, 2015, at the MAAS building in Philadelphia.

John Flynn ( - ) était un pasteur presbytérien et aviateur australien qui a créé le Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), premier service d'ambulances aériennes au monde.

Biographie
Flynn est né dans la ville de Moliagul, environ  au nord-ouest de Melbourne, au Victoria. Sa mère est morte en couches alors qu'il avait trois ans et il a passé une partie de son enfance chez des parents. Flynn a déménagé ensuite à Braybrook Junction (aujourd'hui Sunshine dans la banlieue ouest de Melbourne) où il a terminé ses études secondaires en 1898 et a commencé à travailler comme instituteur. En 1903, il décide de devenir pasteur et entre en 1907 à l'Ormond College, un collège de l'Université de Melbourne, pour étudier la théologie. Il est diplômé en 1910 et ordonné en 1911.

Pendant sa formation, Flynn fut affecté dans diverses zones isolées du Victoria et d'Australie-Méridionale et son second poste d'affectation après son ordination a été à , un petit hameau à  au nord d'Adélaïde. Beltana est un endroit encore aujourd'hui relativement isolé et à cette époque, était extrêmement distant de tout. En 1912, après avoir écrit un rapport à ses supérieurs sur les difficultés d'exercer son ministère sur une population aussi largement dispersée, Flynn fut nommé le premier surintendant de l'Australian Inland Mission. Ainsi que les questions tendant à spirituelle, Flynn se rendit compte rapidement de la nécessité de soins médicaux pour les résidents du vaste outback australien et créa un certain nombre d'hôpitaux de brousse.

En 1917, Flynn envisageait déjà la possibilité de nouvelles technologies, comme la radio et l'aviation, pour fournir un service plus pointu d'aides médicales et il reçut ensuite une lettre d'un pilote australien de la Première Guerre mondiale, Clifford Peel, qui avait entendu parler des projets de Flynn et décrivant les fonctionnalités et les coûts d'avions alors disponibles. Cette liste fut publiée dans le magazine de l'église, le début de la collecte de fonds considérable pour créer un service médical volant. Le premier vol eut lieu en 1928 à partir de Cloncurry, au Queensland. Un musée commémorant la fondation du Royal Flying Doctor Service est situé sur la Place John Flynn à Cloncurry.

Après la Grande Dépression, Flynn mena l'organisation, faisant pression à la fois sur les politiciens et son église, à offrir un service national. En 1934, l'Australian Aerial Medical Service était créé et progressivement un réseau national mis en place. Flynn est resté le visage public de l'organisation (bien qu'elle ait changé de nom pour prendre son nom actuel) et a contribué à réunir les fonds qui ont permis de la maintenir en exploitation.

Bob Hughes, qui était directeur général des postes à l'époque, très impressionné par le travail de Flynn, lui offrit de prendre en charge la fourniture et la maintenance du réseau radio, convertissant chaque télégraphe sans fil en un bureau télégraphique public. La proposition fut rejetée d'emblée par Flynn, car il ne pourrait pas empêcher les messages à servir à placer des paris sur les chevaux et à commander de l'alcool.

Bien qu'il ait sans aucun doute rendu célèbre surtout par l'organisation qu'est devenue la RFDS, le travail de Flynn avec son Église alla bien au-delà. Il créa aussi les maisons de soins infirmiers, ainsi que les ministères itinérants, les ministres (pasteurs) ayant à voyager sur de longues distances à cheval à l'intérieur du pays. En 1939, l'Église presbytérienne d'Australie élut Flynn dans le primus inter pares avec le rôle de modérateur de l'Assemblée Générale.

Flynn a épousé la secrétaire de l'AIM, Jean Baird, en 1931 à l'âge relativement avancé de 51 ans. Il a finalement pris sa retraite et est décédé à Sydney, a été incinéré et ses cendres placées sous un gros rocher des Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve. Par malchance, le Ministère des Travaux publics du Territoire du Nord avait pris la roche à partir dans un site sacré pour leurs propriétaires traditionnels. Après plusieurs années de négociations, la roche a été nettoyée et retournée à son emplacement d'origine en 1998 et remplacée par un rocher acceptable pour le peuple Arrernte.

Flynn a été fait Officier de l'Ordre de l'Empire britannique en 1933. Son effigie se retrouve sur un côté de l'actuel billet de  australiens. La circonscription de Flynn dans le Queensland a été créée par la Commission électorale australienne en 2006.

Qantas a récemment annoncé qu'elle nommerait un de ses Airbus A380 John Flynn en reconnaissance à sa contribution à l'industrie de l'aviation et plus particulièrement à sa réalisation de la fondation de la Royal Australian Flying Doctors Service.

Taylor Swift Urges Swifties to Register to Vote by Creating Resources List: 'We Need Everyone'
Taylor Swift took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday (Sept. 22) — National Voter Registration Day — to urge the Swifties to use their voices ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election.
"Hey guys, it's National Voter Registration Day today, the election is Nov. 3. It's really coming up," she said. "And I've put together a 'swipe up' of resources. … We need everyone, and it is more important than I can even possibly say."
Once viewers swipe up on her Stories, they'll be directed to a special T-Swift page of voting resources, with links to register to vote, check one's voter registration status, request an absentee ballot in the mail, and see an early voting calendar for every state.
She joined Billie Eilish, DJ Khaled, Usher and more stars to launch the Just Vote campaign on Sept. 8, an initiative by Global Citizen and HeadCount to motivate the younger generation to exercise their democratic right this November. The Folklore singer offered an autographed guitar in a drawing with registered fans. The winner will be chosen on Oct. 7.
See Swift's IG Stories here and her list of resources here.
The "Betty" singer isn't the only musician who is encouraging fans to make sure their voices are heard election day. Cardi B, Bon Iver, Kesha and more have shared reminders for people to register Tuesday. Rocker Patti Smith even gathered some famous friends — including Michael Stipe and Cyndi Lauper — to join her in singing "People Have the Power."

I've been using Time Machine in OS X 10.5 Leopard on my Mac Pro to do nifty backups. It has come in handy a couple of times now, when I've been chasing problems down a rat hole (like, "why does ImageMagick work from the command line but not from an exec() call in PHP?") and I just want to give up and revert back to a previous state. Very nice.
Yesterday I got a new drive (WD2500YS) that has a nice 16MB cache on it, and I thought I'd swap in that drive as my boot drive. Normally I'd use SuperDuper! for this but it's not yet fully Leopard-compatible. So I thought, now's the time to do a full restore using Time Machine and see how it goes.
I booted from the Leopard DVD and selected Restore from Time Machine Backup. I was a bit nervous because the "time of last backup" shown by Time Machine was two hours earlier than it should have been, but this turned out to be a time zone issue; all my files were restored, including the ones saved just before I shut the machine down.
Upon further examination, /var/spool is...empty! Taking a look at my previous drive, there are over 100 entries (some noted here). Why is this? Devin Lane has a nice post listing the exclusions Time Machine makes. Wait, I thought, maybe they are created on demand?
Conclusion: Time Machine is fine for protecting the mainstream data in your home directory, but is currently not capable of doing a full restore of a boot drive.

Hey, thanks a lot for sharing this. Had the exact same thing happening to me.
If you happen to have some pointers on how to get postfix working again I'd appreciate that a lot ; ).

I did a fresh install of Leopard.

Took me a little, but I finally came across this post.
Essentially running 'sudo /etc/postfix/post-install create-missing' and restarting the system made things work again : ).

This are my favorites 10 trending ideas from Domino and Connections Aha! Portal .
With the excuse to tell you my 5 favorite ideas taken from the first 3 pages of the categories "tranding ideas" I like to spend some lines introducing the Aha! portals dedicated to IBM sw for the one who could have missed it .
Over the past months IBM has launched Aha! portals for many of its products, including Domino (with Notes, Verse, Sametime) and Connections.
Aha! is a portal as a service specialized in software development, able to provide a series of tools behind the scenes (therefore only visible to developers and project managers), to catalog, manage and transform the ideas collected into road-map, to be followed during the development.
IBM has repeatedly said that ideas are read, monitored and managed with this tools daily.
If you have in mind features important for you that are missing in the products you use every day, go to the above addresses, register for free and contribute: this is the best way to be heard by the devs and have hopes that functionality will be added in the future.
Obviously it is all at the discretion of the developers, it is not a democracy and not all ideas will be made .... but I reiterate the importance in devoting a few minutes when you have free time to read the ideas by voting and / or commenting.
+1 ... but Notes client improvement is an absolute must.


Someone's turning 10 next week! I can't believe a decade has gone by with my oldest daughter. 10 years of fun, many many laughs, love, and growing up! Sometimes I wish I had a time machine!

The furies wait
Ecuador needs a loan from the International Monetary Fund as well as multilateral aid. The currency has lost value after the finance minister resigned over the budget deficit, and eight banks have been hit. Public finances have been affected by El Nino and low petroleum prices. President Jamil Mahaud took over in Aug 1998, and has been unable to tackle the problems. There are hopeful signs of decisiveness in Mahaud's bid to cut spending and his plans for privatizations. He is also developing links with the Democratic Left, which seeks income tax reform.

Ecuador on the brink
Ecuador faces serious economic problems, defaulted on Brady bonds in 1999, and has seen a drop in the value of its currency, the sucre. President Jamil Mahuad is to dollarise the economy, and this could bring risks from external shocks. Ecuador has rigid labor laws, low tax revenues, a fragile banking system, and a large amount of external debt. Privatizations, tax increases, and more flexible labor laws are planned. There may be initial suffering as a result of the reforms, which could lead to political problems.
Ecuador drifts between opportunity and deadlock
Ecuador's economic problems and economic policy are examined in detail, including political factors affecting economic policy.

John Crace is sort-of like CliffsNotes—except cheeky, erudite, and with a nice accent. In his column for the Guardian, The Digested Read, the British journalist condenses contemporary books into pithy 700-word stories. Sometimes satirical, always spot-on, Crace's abridgements often reveal as much as traditional reviews. Compare his take on the latest Bond novel, Devil May Care, with the New York Times appraisal. Same message, disparate delivery.
Lately, Crace has made a couple of appealing changes. First, he's started doing an audio version of select columns. Then, around the same time he commenced podcasting, Crace began condensing the occasional classic, such as Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
The digested classics are a kick, in column or podcast format, because they offer readers and listeners a chance to compare (perhaps foggy) recollections of a text with the freshly condensed version. Even if you haven't read Heart of Darkness for decades, Crace's digested version sings with familiar phrases and nimbly selected scenes: the memorable bits that lodged in your brain even as the rest faded away. Identifying those bits, that's where a good excerpt begins.
Crace's column is weekly, and the podcasts show up intermittently. The most recent content, just posted today, is a reading of the digested Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez. The column version ran this past weekend.

to me, that sounds like one more thing society is in "hurry up" mode about. It seems like no one takes the time anymore to do anything unless it can be in the most efficient use of time possible,and then two or three things at once. The more you can get done....hurry, hurry! I'd prefer to sit down with the original and take my time......and discover all of the parts for myself and not have someone hand-feed them to me.
Well, yes, I suppose it would be boring to let someone else dictate a book's high points, and yes, books—in all their leisurely, lengthy glory—are well suited to exploring big ideas and themes. (I highlighted exactly that argument in my environmental lit post on Tuesday, in fact.) I think you're missing the point a bit: Crace's columns aren't meant to take the place of novels, or provide readers with some pedantic run-down of the best parts—they're fun. They're satire. They're reviews. They're… well, I'd almost go so far as to say they're part of a whole tradition of extremely-abridged-versions-made-for-entertainment. The "MacBeth in 5 Minutes," that your local improv troop puts on, or (geek alert) the 8-minute recap of the SciFi channel's Battlestar Galactica. And the really interesting thing about digests is the way they can simultaneously look forward and backward. Forward in the sense that they can tell you something new—the Bond digest served as a review, for example, but I'd argue in any case that what a writer chooses to preserve (and how) reveals an assessment of the text, draws out themes, points to insufficiencies, etc. Backward in the sense that digests also can play off pre-existing knowledge of the complete text. What I most enjoyed about listening to Crace's Heart of Darkness digest was the way his selection of certain phrases and scenes triggered vivid memories of something I read long, long ago—and had all but forgotten.

E-Mal enters a new agreement with Estonian cybersecurity firm to protect FinTech assets
By Jenan Al-MukharriqAugust 9, 2018September 11th, 2019No Comments
E-Mal, a comprehensive financial ecosystem powered by eFatoora has joined forces with Estonia-based cybersecurity firm Hacken to heighten the security of its digital wallet service.
Per the agreement, E-Mal has acquired Hacken's security services, which it now plans on deploying across its portfolio to attain a growth-driven and sustainable economy. E-Mal specializes in bringing together retailers and end users, as well as banking and financial institutions. The company connects the different stakeholders in the financial ecosystem in a highly efficient and secure manner and the e-Mal digital wallet is a perfect example of the feat.
The wallet allows users to seamlessly access a wide range of services on the e-Mal hubs. "We are delighted to have Hacken on board with e-Mal as our cybersecurity partners. We believe their testing and security services will further enhance the e-Mal blockchain platform and we will continue to ensure that our users are always transacting in the most secure manner," said Yasmine Khan, founder and chief executive of e-Mal.
As for Hacken, it is a cybersecurity consultancy that provides highly customized solutions based on a client's specific requirements. Some of its flagship offerings include bug bounty, penetration testing, smart contract audit, and anti-phishing protection for enterprises.
Speaking of the new agreement with e-Mal, Dmytro Budorin, founder, and CEO of Hacken, said: "We are excited to have become a cybersecurity services partner of a progressive company such as e-Mal. We are glad to see that the company that's addressing financial and ecological issues ( and ) cares about the security of its clients and investors.

The H Queen's Building in Hong Kong's Central district was custom designed by CL3 Architects to house art. Heavy-hitters in the art world like Hauser & Wirth, Pace, Pearl Lam and David Zwirner are all in residence on the upper levels. But the gleaming new tower is quickly becoming home to a number of fine dining destinations too.
Case in point is the recently revealed ICHU, the brainchild of Peruvian chef and restaurateur Virgilio Martinez Véliz. Recognised internationally for his efforts in bringing a modern twist to his native cuisine via Central Restaurante in Peru — a frequent addition to the World's 50 Best Restaurants list.
The authentic, sophisticated flavours are enjoyed in equally sophisticated surrounds, courtesy of Joyce Wang Studio. Wang's signature cinematic approach is evident in her studio's latest project — a cleverly crafted narrative that creates a sense of discovery, an experience that unfolds throughout the course of the evening as a stunning backdrop to the highly inventive menu. The thoughtfully designed interiors were inspired by the unique mountainous terrain of Peru, which, explains Wang, 'has one of the most varied ecosystems in the world, and we wanted to reflect that in our design.' The dynamic colour palette and selection of richly textured materials 'capture Martinez's creative culinary style,' she adds.
The layers of richness are carefully tempered with a rawness that, like a good cerviche, is flavourful but not overwhelming. But don't just take our word for it, go and see for yourself.


The new E-Class is the powerfully convincing result of the new Mercedes-Benz design philosophy. It is the embodiment of ultra-modern stylishness and refined sportiness, and is unparalleled in the premium saloon segment. Its design unifies modest elegance yet powerful presence in every line - with an astonishing lightness of touch.

P. Diddy Called Petty Over His Alleged Response to Future's PDA-Filled Photo With Lori Harvey
Just hours after Future shares a photo of him cuddling with Lori in a pool, Diddy takes to his own account to share a breathtaking view from his resort with 'Life is Good' playing in the background.
AceShowbiz - Lori Harvey and Future aren't the only ones who are enjoying vacation right now. Her rumored ex-beau, Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, is also spending his time relaxing by the beach and is more than willing to share footage of the fun-filled trip with his followers, who later call him petty due to the timing of his post.
Prior to Diddy's post, Future took to his Instagram account to share a photo of him and the stepdaughter of Steve Harvey cuddling up in the pool during their vacation in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Lori could be seen throwing her head back in a tiny black bikini as the Atlanta rapper wrapped his arms around her body. In the caption of the post, he wrote, "Life is Good," a clear reference to his latest Drake collaboration of the same name.
Just hours after Future put out the PDA-filled photo, Diddy shared on his own account a video of him showing off the resort he was staying in. It included a stunning pool in addition to boasting beautiful sea scenery. Many were convinced that it was his response to Future's photo with Lori, especially because Future's "Life Is Good" was playing in the background of the video.
People soon called Diddy petty over his move, with one saying, "You way too old to be this petty. You literally started recording this song right at Future's part on purpose because of [Lori Harvey]." Another commented, "Mr. messy boots. You are a hot mess." Someone told Diddy, "Come on you are way too cool and accomplished for this level of petty... seriously!" There was also one who said, "Diddy I see what you did here."
Diddy and Lori were previously rumored to be dating, but the two never confirmed the rumors even after rumors surfaced that they broke up. The social media star then moved on with Future.

26             eight hundred thousand dollars ($1,800,000) shall be appropriated and
27             paid to the cities and counties as set forth in paragraphs (c)(i) and
28             (c)(ii) of this subsection;
29             (ii)   Two million eighty  thousand  dollars  ($2,080,000)  shall  be

10             counties. Each county shall be entitled to an  amount in the  propor-
11             tion  that  liquor sales through the dispensary in that county during
12             the state's previous fiscal year bear to total liquor  sales  through
13             the  dispensary in the state during the state's previous fiscal year,
14             except that no county shall be entitled to an amount less  than  that
15             county  received  in distributions from the liquor account during the
16             state's fiscal year 1981.
17             (ii)   Sixty percent (60%) of the balance remaining after the  trans-
18             fers  authorized  by  paragraphs  (a) and (b) of this subsection have
19             been made is hereby appropriated to and shall be paid to the  several
20             cities as follows:
21                  1.  Ninety  percent (90%) of the amount appropriated to the cit-
22                  ies shall be distributed to those cities  which  have  a  liquor
23                  store  or distribution station located within the corporate lim-
24                  its of the city. Each such city shall be entitled to  an  amount
25                  in  the  proportion  that liquor sales through the dispensary in
26                  that city during the state's previous fiscal year bear to  total
27                  liquor  sales  through  the  dispensary  in the state during the
28                  state's previous fiscal year, except that no city shall be enti-
29                  tled to an amount less than that city received in  distributions
30                  from the liquor account during the state's fiscal year 1981;
31                  2.  Ten  percent  (10%) of the amount appropriated to the cities
32                  shall be distributed to those cities which do not have a  liquor
35                  in the proportion that that city's population bears to the popu-
36                  lation  of  all  cities  in the state which do not have a liquor
37                  store or distribution station located within the corporate  lim-
38                  its  of  the  city,  except that no city shall be entitled to an
39                  amount less than that city received in  distributions  from  the
40                  liquor account during the state's fiscal year 1981.
41        (2)  All  transfers  and distributions shall be made periodically, but not
42    less frequently than quarterly but, the apportionments made to any  county  or
43    city,  which  may during the succeeding three (3) year period be found to have
44    been in error either of computation or transmittal, shall be corrected  during
45    the  fiscal  year of discovery by a reduction of apportionments in the case of
46    over-apportionment or by an increase of apportionments in the case  of  under-
47    apportionment.  The decision of the superintendent on entitlements of counties
48    and cities shall be final, and shall not be subject to judicial review.
Section 23-404(b)(iii), Idaho Code allows for $300,000 to be
transferred annually to the community college account.  Over the
past 25 years, the College of Southern Idaho and North Idaho
College have each received $150,000 from this account.  With
addition of the College of Western Idaho, the fund will now be
split equally between three community colleges rather than two.
This will result in a loss of $50,000 for CSI and a loss of
$50,000 for NIC.
This legislation will increase the amount to $600,000.
This amount has not increased or been adjusted for inflation for
approximately 25 years.  It is a very stable revenue source for
community colleges.  The increased amount would provide each
existing community college $200,000 per year.
$300,000 additional dollars will be taken from the liquor fund.
Each existing community college will receive $200,000 per year.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/FISCAL NOTE	                   H 400


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted rare pediatric disease designation to Regenxbio's one-time gene therapy RGX-181 for the treatment of late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease, one of the most common forms of Batten disease.
Regenxbio plans to submit an investigational new drug (IND) to the FDA in the second half of 2019 to test RGX-181 in a first human clinical trial.
RGX-181 was designed to deliver a healthy copy of the TPP1 gene — mutations in this gene are the underlying cause of late infantile Batten disease, or CLN2 — to cells of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) using a viral carrier called adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9).
Regenxbio's NAV Technology Platform contains several of these non-replicating viral delivery vehicles, meaning they are unable to cause disease. Moreover, these AAVs do not attract the attention of the immune system, avoiding an unwanted immune response.
The FDA's decision is preceded by an orphan drug designation granted in November 2018, which provides a special status for a drug or biological product to treat a rare disease, defined as those affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S.
"There is an urgent need for treatment options for CLN2 disease, a serious and life-threatening disease, which is emphasized by RGX-181 receiving Rare Pediatric Disease Designation, in addition to Orphan Drug Designation," Kenneth T. Mills, president and CEO of Regenxbio, said in a press release.
If a new biologics license application for RGX-181 is approved, Regenxbio could become eligible to receive a priority review voucher from the FDA, which can then be used for any subsequent marketing application. This program is intended to encourage the development of therapies to prevent and treat rare pediatric diseases.
"We believe that RGX-181 administered as a one-time treatment can potentially correct the underlying genetic condition and halt the progression of this devastating disease. We look forward to filing an IND with the FDA for the first-in-human clinical trial in the second half of 2019," Mills said.

Known as the world's premier leisure artist, Leroy Neiman's work capture the best of American pastimes from sports to gambling. Neiman's "Irish American Bar" is darker and more saturated than many of other pieces, making it both unique and impactful. The scene painted is relatable and lively, making it an equally good fit for a casual home or an upscale gallery display setting. "Irish American Bar" features Neiman's usual bold brush strokes and abstract impressionist style. This serigraph is in good condition, with some toning on the margins of the piece.
Born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, Neiman studied briefly in St. Paul before moving to Chicago to study at the School of Art Institute of Chicago where he also taught for 10 years before moving to New York City in 1962. Leroy Neiman is probably the most popular painter and print maker in America. He is one of the few artists of the 20th century whose name has become a household word in millions of American homes. Best known for his brilliantly colored, stunningly energetic images of sporting events and leisure activities, LeRoy Neiman is probably the most popular living artist in the United States. His art is unique. It stands alone, without any real comparison. It is an art which has become controversial because Neiman has broken the barriers of many of the most hallowed assumptions of modern art history and contemporary criticism. It is an art that is loved by millions of people throughout America and around the world. Through his art, Neiman has explored contemporary leisure, all the pastimes and places people enjoy, and particularly the world of sports and the world of entertainment. LeRoy Neiman's style explodes with the dramatic intensity of Abstract Expressionist brush strokes, strokes that pick out action that is strikingly accurate. This unique combination is so appealing that Neiman has brought art into the lives of more people than most post-war American artists put together. Since 1970 LeRoy Neiman has published hundreds of limited edition serigraphs which have become as much sought after as the prints of Miro, Chagall and Picasso. He has travelled and exhibited worldwide, from Moscow to Tokyo to Caracas. He has many published books, and has been honored with many awards for his art. His work is in the permanent collections of many museums including the Baltimore Museum of Fine Art, and Minneapolis Institute of Arts, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas, the Hermitage in Leningrad, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
