Admit it - you've always wanted a plushie of Jhudora, haven't you? Well, now you can make your very own, with just wool, a crochet hook, some stuffing, and a lot of patience!
All the pieces are crocheted in a spiral (so no joining any rounds apart from the first one), or crocheted in rows.
....but don't worry if you can't crochet - you can always bug a friend or relation to crochet it for you!
....this leads us on into the main body.
This is the waist - we now need to stuff the base, otherwise it will be too challenging to do later!
Stuff the rest of the body.
Fasten off - I didn't use any stuffing in the arms at all.
Leave a long tail from the slip knot, so you can stitch the arms to the body later.
This round might seem a little fiddly, but if you're patient, it should make sense.
I didn't add any stuffing to the sleeves at all, but you can add a little if you like.
Fasten off with a long tail to attach it to the neck.
We now start to work in rows, to make the hair look right - otherwise Jhudora won't be able to see out!
Fasten off with a long tail to attach it to the head.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail to attach the wing to the body.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail to attach to wing #1.
Carefully line up the green to the front of the main body, and firmly stitch it around.
Stitch the neck to the base of the head (the hair will cover part of the neck at the back, so don't worry if your stitches are a bit messy!).
Make sure the hair is lined up correctly and carefully stitch it to the head, leaving the base parts of the hair unattached to look more natural.
Stitch the sleeves to the body.
And last but by no means least, Jhudora needs her wings!
Line up both wings to either side of the centre of Jhudora's back, and carefully stitch them to the body.
Then just double check that all the wool ends are woven in.
And there you have your completed Jhudora crocheted plushie!

Congressman questions USDA killing kittens in experiments
By AGDAILY Reporters Published: May 09, 2018

Has the USDA been killing hundreds of cats and kittens in the name of research? One U.S. Congressman seems to think so.
This week, Congressman Mike Bishop sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue expressing concerns and seeking more information about secretive and problematic experiments on cats and kittens being performed at a USDA laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland. Bishop says at the lab, where USDA testing has been receiving taxpayers' dollars for nearly half-a-century, hundreds of kittens are bred, fed parasite-infected raw meat, and then killed, even though the USDA admits the kittens are healthy at the study's completion.
"I'm shocked and disturbed that for decades the USDA—the very organization charged with enforcing animal welfare laws—has been unnecessarily killing hundreds of kittens in expensive and inefficient lab experiments. Any government research program like this one that's been funded since the Nixon administration needs to be put under the microscope, especially when it involves using kittens as disposable test tubes in harmful tests that most taxpayers oppose," said Rep. Bishop.
For more than a year, Rep. Bishop has been investigating and calling for reforms in the use of dogs and cats in government research labs. Most recently, he was part of a successful bipartisan effort that cut funding for painful and unproductive experiments on dogs at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"Congressman Bishop's work to end government waste and animal abuse in USDA's deadly kitten lab exemplifies his outstanding advocacy for taxpayers and animals. An overwhelming majority of Americans want to cut government spending on wasteful and cruel dog and cat experiments, and Rep. Bishop is ensuring their voices are heard on Capitol Hill," said Justin Goodman, vice president of advocacy and public policy at White Coat Waste Project, a nonpartisan taxpayer watchdog group that obtained many details of USDA's kitten research through the Freedom of Information Act.
A spokesperson for the Agricultural Research Service told CNN the estimate of 100 cats used in USDA research was a "serious over estimation" and called cats "essential to the success of this critical research."
The spokesperson went on to say the research was being done to prevent the spread of toxoplasmosis. The infection usually occurs by eating undercooked contaminated meat, exposure from infected cat feces, or mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy.
According to the USDA ARS, domestic cats are most likely the major source of contamination since oocyst formation is greatest in domestic cats.
Cats may excrete millions of oocysts after ingesting as few as 1 bradyzoite or 1 tissue cyst, and many tissue cysts may be present in one infected mouse. Generally, only about 1 percent of cats in a population are found to be shedding oocysts at any given time. Oocysts are shed for only a short period (1-2 weeks) in the life of the cat, however, the enormous numbers shed assure widespread contamination of the environment.
Under experimental conditions, infected cats can shed oocysts after reinoculation with tissue cysts. It is not known whether repeated shedding of oocysts occurs in nature, but this would greatly facilitate oocyst spread. Sporulated oocysts survive for long periods under most ordinary environmental conditions. They can survive in moist soil, for example, for months and even years. Oocysts in soil do not always stay there, as invertebrates like flies, cockroaches, dung beetles, and earthworms can mechanically spread these oocysts and even carry them onto food.
Congenital infection can occur in cats, and congenitally infected kittens can excrete oocysts, providing another source of oocysts for contamination. Infection rates in cats reflect the rate of infection in local avian and rodent populations because cats are thought to become infected by eating these animals. The more oocysts there are in the environment, the more likely it is that prey animals will become infected, and this results in increased infection rates in cats.

Bigoted Americans, Far More Supportive of War Against Syria
By Eric Zuesse
Strategic Culture Foundation 1 May 2017
Theme: Intelligence, Terrorism, US NATO War Agenda
On April 23rd, the U.S. mega-corporate and government-funded National Public Radio network, NPR, interviewed voters about their views on President Trump's achievements so far; and a typical respondent, the 33-year-old Jamie Ruppert, of White Haven, Pennsylvania, said, "I don't think he's been terrible. I mean, he definitely stepped up when the people of Syria kind of needed some help". She was referring actually to this, though she wasn't even aware of it; she believed instead the U.S. government's lies about Syria's government, just like the Americans who had supported the lies that produced the destruction of Iraq by the psychopathic American government had done, back then in 2003.
Polls show that highly prejudiced (i.e., misinformed) Americans tend to be especially supportive of the jihadists' war to overthrow and replace Syria's secular Russian-backed government. (The jihadists in Syria are backed by the U.S. government, which however opposes ISIS jihadists, which are too extreme for even the rulers of Saudi Arabia to trust. But the U.S. and Saudi governments have been backing in Syria every jihadist group that accepts Al Qaeda's leadership, because Al Qaeda was created to hate Russia, which fact was even captured on video at the time, but is effectively denied by U.S. 'news'media, after-the-fact, and America's 'history'-books also generally hide the actual cause of what today's U.S. President refers to as "radical Islamic terrorism", a joint U.S.-Saudi operation. Such realities would be called 'fake news' by America's 'news'media, if they reported these truths at all, which their censors or 'editors' occasionally do — they occasionally slip-up, and allow such facts through, and some reporters and 'news'room managers even lose their jobs for doing that.)
For example, the polls by ABC News and Washington Post have indicated that whereas Republicans strongly opposed the Democratic President, Barack Obama's, bombing of Syria as a U.S. response to the U.S.-backed jihadists' sarin gas attack in 2013, which the U.S. blamed against Bashar al-Assad's government (and Britain's MI6 found that Obama was lying, so UK refused to join Obama's planned invasion, and it was called-off), the similar set-up-job jihadist-produced gas-attack in Syria, occurring now under the Republican President Donald Trump, is overwhelmingly supported by Republicans, and mildly opposed by Democrats — indeed,
"The sharpest change has been among Republicans, among whom 22 percent supported missile strikes [in 2013] compared with 86 percent today".
By contrast, among Democrats today, "37 percent support, while 59 percent are opposed", to the Republican Trump's bombing of Syria on April 7th. So: Party-affiliation is a big determinant of whether a given American citizen favors an American invasion of a foreign country. (America's 'independent' voters tend to be between the two types of prejudice, but a few of them are simply unprejudiced. However, even a few Republicans and Democrats are also unprejudiced.)
The ABC-WP poll also found that (partly because of the incessant U.S. propaganda against Assad, in media such as NYT, WP, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, The Atlantic, etc.) there has been a great increase in the percentage of Americans who favor America's invasions of Syria: as the WP says in that article,
"The slight majority support for missile strikes last week is markedly higher than in September 2013, when President Barack Obama urged Congress to approve a military operation in response to U.S. government conclusions that Assad used chemical weapons on his own citizens [Obama actually lied there]. A Post-ABC poll at the time found 61 percent [of all Americans] opposed to launching missile strikes, including 45 percent who opposed them 'strongly'".
However, the reason for that rise in support for invading Syria is more complex than simply because the American 'news'media reflect their owners' and advertisers' widespread hatred and demonization of any sovereign and independent Russian government (and of any foreign leader such as Assad who allies with it) — oppose a country that's not controlled by America's billionaires — but is also a reflection of another fact: conservative voters (such as Republicans) tend to be exceptionally prejudiced, far more so than progressive voters are — and, whereas some progressive Democrats exist, no progressive Republicans still exist (though there are still some liberal Republicans).
This fact, of Democrats being less-partisan than Republicans are, was indicated, for example, in that same ABC-WP poll back on 28 August to 1 September 2013, showing Republicans and Democrats to be at that time both equally opposed to the Democratic President's bombing Syria — each of the two electorates exhibited the same 12% net margin of overall opposition to it, at that time.
Whereas Republicans almost knee-jerk-support Republican leaders, Democrats are somewhat more skeptical about theirs. Ignorance and misinformation are far more common amongst conservatives than amongst progressives (that's to say, conservatives are far easier to dupe), but each political party has a different ideological mix, and this varying degree of gullibility (high among Republicans, but only moderate among Democrats) will largely determine the extent to which a given party will be net-harmful, both to the given nation, and to the world-at-large. A nation's aristocracy basically controls the beliefs of its conservative voters, but not of its progressive ones, who are the essential foundation for any authentic democracy that exists, anywhere — or even for democacy to exist, at all.
The U.S. government's war to overthrow Syria's government has been going on ever since in 1949 the CIA first tried to overthrow it for favoring the Soviet Union over Western imperialists. (The progressive Democratic President, FDR, who passionately opposed imperialism, was dead; Truman was now the U.S. President.) Then, after the U.S. under President George Herbert Walker Bush promised the Soviet, subsequently Russian, President, Mikhail Gorbachev, in 1990, that if the USSR and its communism and its Warsaw Pact military alliance all ended, then NATO would not move "one inch to the east" — and then the Cold War quickly ended on the Russian side — the U.S. continued the Cold War by moving NATO right up to Russia's borders, and now the U.S. continues trying to overthrow and replace any national head-of-state who is at all friendly towards Russia.
Thus, Saddam Hussein was murdered in 2003, and Muammar Gaddafi was murdered in 2011, and the U.S. regime continues trying to murder Bashar al-Assad, even while claiming that it's "against radical Islamic terrorism", which the U.S and Sauds actually started in 1979, under Zbigniew Brzezinski and Jimmy Carter, and escalated under Reagan — all first in order to conquer the USSR, and then, after 1991, to strip Russia of its allies and finally go in for the kill, perhaps to occur soon under Trump.
Americans who believe that the country that invaded Vietnam, and that invaded Iraq, and that invaded Syria, and that Invaded Libya, and that perpetrated coups in Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), Chile (1953), Ukraine (2014), etc., and basically destroyed each one of those countries, should invade a country, tend to be extremely prejudiced in favor of whatever the leadership of their party, ethnicity, or religion, want. For example, on April 19th, Glen Ford at Black Agenda Report — a site that opposes all bigotry, by anyone against anyone — headlined "Maxine Waters Loses Her Mind to 'Anti-Russia Dementia' – Like the Rest of the Black Caucus", and he wrote:
"When Maxine Waters goes gung-ho crazy for the War Party, it tells us that the Black political class — overwhelmingly Democrats — are utterly useless to any movement for peace and social justice. In the throes of a terminal case of 'Anti-Russia Dementia,' otherwise known as 'Putin Derangement Syndrome,' the California congresswoman told a Tax March crowd in front of the U.S. Capitol that President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin somehow conspired to arrange both the chemical event that killed dozens in northern Syria and the U.S. missile strike on a Syrian military airfield that followed".
Of course, similarly, most American Jews are prejudiced in favor of "the Jewish state" — the apartheid 'democracy' Israel — which likewise is trying to replace the non-sectarian pro-Russian Syrian leader by a pro-Saud jihadist leader. (The Israeli regime and the Sauds have been secretly allies for quite some time now; and both of those aristocracies are allied with the U.S. regime — notwithstanding that the Sauds were behind the 9/11 attacks, and the Israeli regime militarily attacked the U.S. in 1967, and the U.S. regime covered-up both.)
So, it doesn't make much difference what type of bigotry an American happens to have, but practically all of America's bigots hate Russians. It's what they're taught, every time they open a 'news'paper, or watch the 'news' propaganda on television, or read 'think'-magazines such as The Atlantic. The regime's propaganda-tentacles reach everywhere, to pollute Americans' minds, in the same way, regardless of party — they're all controlled by the same aristocracy. (It's done mainly by agents hired by the roughly 1,500 billionaires that constitute the U.S. aristocracy and its vassal-aristocracies abroad — the people who have been running the U.S. empire, especially during recent decades. Their behind-the-scenes influence — shown in wikileaks etc. — is so powerful that they effectively control the U.S. government, and not just the mega-banks, the mega-oil-companies, the mega-propaganda-organizations, etc.)
This is the real-world version of George Orwell's dystopic classic novel 1984, which was symbolically prophetic — a symbolically remarkably accurate version of the real thing. On the deeper level, that novel's portrayal of today's international relations is far more accurate than are today's mainstream U.S.-and-empire 'news' 'reports' about the government's foreign policies. If it hadn't been merely symbolic, it probably would not have found a publisher at all, but in that fictional form it became a best-seller. Some truths are too deep to be published in a self-described-but-false 'democracy', except in a fictionalized form; and, even at the end of World War II, Britain was still being controlled by its aristocracy. But, after Tony Blair's regime and the conquest of Iraq, even a fictionalized account that might be published today of such reality, would likely be suppressed by the UK's ruling class.
A fiction-book like 1984 that's published today would probably be too clearly relevant to what's occurring in the world, so that even the regime itself cannot deny the allegory's reference to the regime. Ways could be found to stop its publication, or else to discredit its author. Similarly, the U.S. government has been very successful at making its public hostile toward such heroic champions of democracy as Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange. When the same aristocracy controls the government as controls the press, it's fairly easy to do. And, of course, the more misinformed a citizen is, the likelier that citizen will be to think of a whistleblower as being instead a 'traitor'. This is how an advanced, modern, police-state functions.
And, this way, far fewer people need to be physically imprisoned. The more that the mental means succeeds, the less there needs to be usage of the far costlier cement type. Deceit (coercion against the mind) is much more efficient than violence (coercion against the body). Every aristocracy, throughout the ages, has thus preferred fraud, as its modus operandum, over violence; and has, consequently, sought to make as difficult as possible, any prosecutions for fraud (the aristocracy's predominant form for coercions), and as easy as possible, prosecutions for violence (the public's predominant form for coercions).
This is also why the worst criminals are likelier to be found in the White House, than in the big house. And, in any case, partisan prejudices are likelier to decide 'criminal' verdicts, than the facts will.
However, if Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal standards were to be applied today, most recent American Presidents would be behind bars, if not executed. Only the aristocracy prevents that from happening. And, after the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy for starting to buck the aristocracy, no subsequent U.S. President has done likewise. That ended that.

"Help Save Rock 'n' Roll.
Whether or not you've heard The Red Coats play. They are definitely worth your time and ear. And Judging by the pace they're moving, 2015 is sure to be not only a great year for The Red Coats, but a notable year in Rock 'n' Roll History for years to come.


Parents can play a vital role in helping teens succeed in school by being informed and lending a little support and guidance. Even though teens are seeking independence, parental involvement is an important ingredient for academic success.
Here are 10 ways to keep your teen on track to succeed in high school.
Teens do better in school when parents support their academic efforts. Attending your school's open house or back-to-school night is a great way to get to know your teen's teachers and their expectations. School administrators may discuss school-wide programs and policies, and post-high school options that parents and guardians of juniors and seniors need to know about.
Do you volunteer at your child's school?
Attending parent-teacher conferences is another way to stay informed, although in high school, staff usually set these up only when parental involvement is needed to address issues like behavior problems, falling below grade-level expectations, or alternatively, benefiting from advanced class work.
If your teen has special learning or behavioral needs, meetings can be scheduled with teachers and other school staff to consider setting up or revising individualized education plans (IEPs), 504 education plans, or gifted education plans.
Knowing the physical layout of the school building and grounds can help you connect with your teen when you talk about the school day. It's good to know the location of the main office, school nurse, cafeteria, gym, athletic fields, auditorium, and special classes.
Many teachers maintain their own websites that provide access to textbooks and other resources, and detail homework assignments, and test and quiz dates. Special resources for parents and students are also usually available on the district, school, or teacher websites.
During the high school years, homework gets more intense and grades become critical for college plans. Students planning to attend college also need to prepare for the SATs and/or ACTs. Amid all these changes, many teens are learning how to balance academics with extracurricular activities, social lives, and jobs.
An important way to help is to make sure your teen has a quiet, well-lit, distraction-free place to study that's stocked with supplies. Distraction-free means no phone, TV, or websites other than homework-related resources. Be sure to check in from time to time to make sure that your teen hasn't gotten distracted.
Regularly sit down with your teen to go over class loads and make sure they're balanced, and help him or her stick to a homework and study schedule.
Encourage your teen to ask for help when it's needed. Most teachers are available for extra help before or after school, and also might be able to recommend other resources.
A nutritious breakfast fuels up teens and gets them ready for the day. In general, teens who eat breakfast have more energy and do better in school.
You can help boost your teen's attention span, concentration, and memory by providing breakfast foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber, and protein, as well as low in added sugar. If your teen is running late some mornings, send along fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, or a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Many schools provide nutritious breakfast options before the first bell.
Teens also need the right amount of sleep — about 8½ to 9½ hours each night — to be alert and ready to learn all day. But early school start times — on top of schedules packed with classes, homework, extracurricular activities, and friends — mean that it's common for teens to not get enough sleep. Lack of sleep is linked to decreased attentiveness, decreased short-term memory, inconsistent performance, and delayed response time.
Most teens also experience a change in their sleep patterns, with their bodies telling them to stay up later at night and wake up later in the morning. As a result, many try to catch up on sleep on weekends. Ideally, teens should try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. You can help by reminding your teen before bedtime to turn off the phone and limit video games and TV.
Learning and mastering the skills of getting organized, staying focused, and seeing work through to the end will help teens in just about everything they do. But this is not usually explicitly taught in high school, so teens can benefit from some parental guidance with organization and time-management skills.
Parents and guardians can help teens keep assignments and class information together in binders, notebooks, or folders that are organized by subject. Creating a calendar will help teens recognize upcoming deadlines and plan their time accordingly. Don't forget to have your teen include non-academic commitments on the calendar, too.
It also helps for teens to make prioritized daily to-do lists, and to study and do homework in a well-lit, quiet, orderly workspace. You can remind your teen that when it comes to studying and homework, multitasking is a time-waster. Working in an environment free of distractions like TV and texts works best.
Planning is key for helping your teen study while juggling assignments in multiple subjects. Since grades really count in high school, planning for studying is crucial for success, particularly when your teen's time is taken up with extracurricular activities.
When there's a lot to study, help your teen to break down tasks into smaller chunks and stick to the studying calendar schedule so he or she isn't studying for multiple tests all in one night. Remind your teen to take notes in class, organize them by subject, and review them at home.
If grades are good, your teen may not need help studying. If grades begin to slip, however, it may be time to step in.
You can help your teen review material and study with several techniques, like simple questioning, asking to provide the missing word, and creating practice tests. The more processes the brain uses to handle information — such as writing, reading, speaking, and listening — the more likely the information will be retained. Repeating words, re-reading passages aloud, re-writing notes, or visualizing or drawing information all help the brain retain data.
Even if your teen is just re-reading notes, offer to quiz him or her, focusing on any facts or ideas that are proving troublesome. Encourage your teen to do practice problems in math or science. If the material is beyond your abilities, recommend seeking help from a classmate or the teacher, or consider connecting with a tutor (some schools have free peer-to-peer tutoring programs).
And remember that getting a good night's sleep is smarter than cramming. Recent studies show that students who sacrifice sleep to study are more likely to struggle on tests the next day.
All schools have rules and consequences for student behaviors. Schools usually cite disciplinary policies (sometimes called the student code of conduct) in student handbooks. The rules usually cover expectations, and consequences for not meeting the expectations, for things like student behavior, dress codes, use of electronic devices, and acceptable language.
It's important for your teen to know what's expected at school and that you'll support the school's consequences when expectations aren't met. It's easiest for students when school expectations match the ones at home, so they see both environments as safe and caring places that work together as a team.
It's also important to note that educators may call law enforcement officials to the school for serious infractions, and consequences may differ based on students' ages.
Volunteering at the high school is a great way to show you're interested in your teen's education.
Keep in mind, though, that while some teens like to see their parents at school or school events, others may feel embarrassed by their parents' presence. Follow your teen's cues to determine how much interaction works for both of you, and whether your volunteering should stay behind the scenes. Make it clear that you aren't there to spy — you're just trying to help out the school community.
Check the school or school district website to find volunteer opportunities that fit your schedule. Even giving a few hours during the school year can make an impression on your teen.
Teens should take a sick day if they have a fever, are nauseated, vomiting, or have diarrhea. Otherwise, it's important that they arrive at school on time every day, because having to catch up with class work, projects, tests, and homework can be stressful and interfere with learning.
Teens may have many reasons for not wanting to go to school — bullies, difficult assignments, low grades, social problems, or issues with classmates or teachers. Talk with your teen — and then perhaps with an administrator or school counselor — to find out more about what's causing any anxiety.
Students also may be late to school due to sleep problems. Keeping your teen on a consistent daily sleep schedule can help avoid tiredness and tardiness.
For teens who have a chronic health issue, educators will work with the families and may limit workloads or assignments so students can stay on track.
Because many teens spend so much of the day outside the home — at school, extracurricular activities, jobs, or with peers — staying connected with them can be challenging for parents and guardians. While activities at school, new interests, and expanding social circles are central to the lives of high school students, parents and guardians are still their anchors for providing love, guidance, and support.
Make efforts to talk with your teen every day, so he or she knows that what goes on at school is important to you. When teens know their parents are interested in their academic lives, they'll take school seriously as well.
Because communication is a two-way street, the way you talk and listen to your teen can influence how well he or she listens and responds. It's important to listen carefully, make eye contact, and avoid multitasking while you chat. Remember to talk with your teen, not at him or her. Be sure to ask open-ended questions that go beyond "yes" or "no" answers.
When teens know they can talk openly with their parents, the challenges of high school can be easier to face.

Antonio Rodríguez y Rodríguez-Moñino (Calzadilla de los Barros, Badajoz, 14 de marzo de 1910 - Madrid, 1970) fue un erudito, bibliógrafo y filólogo español.

Biografía
Nacido en la provincia de Badajoz, sin embargo cursó el bachillerato en un colegio religioso de Jerez de la Frontera y en el Instituto Nacional de Segunda Enseñanza de Badajoz. En 1924, ingresa para cursar estudios de Derecho en la Universidad María Cristina de los padres Agustinos de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, en cuya biblioteca pudo estimular su pasión por la bibliografía.

En 1924 se edita su primera publicación, "Una cuestión palpitante: lo del texto único en los Institutos" aparecida en La Libertad, periódico de Badajoz, el 5 de marzo del citado año, poco antes de cumplir, pues, los catorce años. En 1925 se precipitan varias publicaciones, la primera de ellas ya un trabajo bibliográfico, "Joaquín Romero de Cepeda, escritor extremeño del siglo XVI", dedicado al padre J. V. Corraliza, agustino del Monasterio de El Escorial y natural de Villanueva de la Serena. En 1926 forma parte del recién creado Centro de Estudios Extremeños y escribe dos obras claves para sus Estudios Extremeños (firmaba entonces como Bibliófilo extremeño): Teatro extremeño del siglo XVI (perdido) y Folclore extremeño (folleto casi destruido íntegramente).

En 1928 se establece en Madrid, y tras haber iniciado la carrera de Derecho, seguirá también los estudios de Filosofía y Letras (especialidad de Letras) y frecuentará las tertulias, elemento axial en su vida futura, e incluso formará una propia, junto a otros estudiantes, en el café Castilla. Aún estudiante, sería nombrado académico correspondiente de la Real Academia de Buenas Letras de Málaga. En 1931, con veintiún años, consigue una beca de la Junta Constructora de la Ciudad Universitaria, a propuesta unánime de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Madrid, para ampliar estudios en Francia y Bélgica. En esta época es nombrado Académico correspondiente de la Real Academia Hispano-Americana de Ciencias y Artes de Cádiz y publica, con menos de veinte años, textos esenciales como, entre otros, La biblioteca de Benito Arias Montano (1929), Dictados tópicos de Extremadura o Virgilio en España (1930) y una Bibliografía hispano oriental (1931).

En 1935 ganó una cátedra de Instituto. Al filo de la Guerra Civil sería nombrado técnico de la Junta de Incautación y Protección del Patrimonio Artístico y dirigió la salvación del patrimonio bibliográfico durante la Guerra Civil, al depositar los libros incautados o recuperados en la Biblioteca Nacional de Madrid. Más polémica fue su intervención, acompañando a Wenceslao Roces, en la incautación de las monedas de oro del Museo Arqueológico Nacional el 4 y 5 de noviembre de 1936, sin levantar un acta detallada de las piezas sacadas del museo. En 1939 se casó con María Brey Mariño (bibliotecaria republicana), a la que había conocido a principios de los treinta. No quiso exiliarse y sufrió un expediente de depuración y fue inhabilitado para la docencia durante más de veinte años, condenándole a traslado forzoso fuera de la provincia de Madrid por cinco años y siendo despojado de su cátedra; la resolución del expediente se dilataría hasta 1966. El matrimonio llegó a tener la mayor biblioteca privada de la época con casi 17.000 volúmenes.

Trabajó en la biblioteca de la Real Academia Española. Bibliotecario del Museo Lázaro Galdiano, dedicó su atención preferentemente a los literatos de Extremadura, su patria chica, como por ejemplo Bartolomé José Gallardo, a quien dedicó su Don Bartolomé José Gallardo. Estudio bibliográfico (1955). Publicó las Poesías de Gregorio Silvestre, Dictados tópicos de Extremadura, Poetas extremeños del siglo XVI, Joaquín Romero Cepeda, poeta extremeño del siglo XVI y la primera parte de una Historia de la literatura extremeña (1942) que llega hasta el renacimiento. Fue director de la Editorial Castalia.

Durante los años 1949 a 1952 se dedicó a estudiar la obra de Cristóbal de Mesa. Tras ser expulsado de su cátedra por sus simpatías republicanas, fundó la Revista española (1953), que publicó ensayo, crítica y narración breve, y donde asomaron los autores de la generación del medio siglo o del "realismo social", entre ellos Ignacio Aldecoa, Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio y Alfonso Sastre que formaban su consejo de redacción. El mismo grupo engrosaba la tertulia que en el Café Lion presidida el propio Rodríguez Moñino. Dio cursos en Estados Unidos desde 1960, en particular en la Universidad de California, Berkeley, y fue vicepresidente de la Hispanic Society of America.

Fue rechazada su entrada en la Real Academia Española por dos veces, rechazo que motivaría su autoexilio en Estados Unidos, cuando en el segundo intento el propio gobierno franquista había recordado a la Academia que vería con «sumo desagrado la elección de aquel candidato». En esa ocasión Gregorio Marañón fue su valedor y once académicos dieron su voto en blanco: Ramón Menéndez Pidal, Dámaso Alonso, José María de Cossío, Vicente García de Diego, Pedro Laín Entralgo, Palacios, Gerardo Diego, Cantón, Vicente Aleixandre y Camilo José Cela. Finalmente fue aceptado en 1966. Dos años después aparecieron los primeros títulos de la colección Clásicos Castalia, fundada por él.

Murió en Madrid en 1970 y legó un espléndido tesoro bibliográfico (15.000 libros, muchos de ellos inéditos, manuscritos, estampas y dibujos) a la Real Academia Española, y unos cinco mil volúmenes a la Biblioteca de Cáceres. Los fragmentos de un manuscrito de Amadís de Gaula (tercera parte) anteriores al primer texto conocido hasta entonces, el de Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo, figuran entre los fondos de la Bancroft Library de la Universidad de California en Berkeley, donde fue profesor cuando los identificó.

Labor
Destaca de su ingente volumen de trabajo la recopilación de Las fuentes del Romancero General, en doce tomos con notas, índices y suplementos, publicación de la Real Academia Española en 1957. Un año después, y como autoridad en pliegos sueltos y bibliografía, editó un facsímil con introducción, bibliografía e índices del Cancionero general de Hernando del Castillo. También compuso un Manual bibliográfico de Cancioneros y Romanceros impresos durante el siglo XVII y un Diccionario de pliegos sueltos. Siglo XVI (editado en 1970 y con una segunda edición ampliada por Víctor Infantes y Arthur Lee-Francis Askins).

A man accused of assaulting a conservative activist in an attack that was caught on video at the at Berkeley last month has pleaded not guilty to several felony charges.
, a 28-year-old software engineer, entered his plea Wednesday at the Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse in Oakland, Fox News .
is with felony assault, felony battery, felony criminal threats and misdemeanor vandalism for his alleged attack on Hayden Williams, a Leadership Institute field representative who was recruiting conservative students for Turning Point USA during the Feb. 19 incident at UC Berkeley.
In a now-viral , Mr. Williams was manning a table at Sproul Plaza when a man started cursing at him and calling him a racist. The man then struck Mr. Williams several times while students watched.
Prosecutors said is the attacker in the video. Neither of the men is affiliated with UC Berkeley.
has been ordered not to Mr. Williams and is not allowed within 100 yards of the UC Berkeley campus.
's criminal defense attorney, Alanna Coopersmith, said Wednesday that her client, a student at a nearby college, was studying at the UC Berkeley library on the day of the attack.


Many young artists often have to draw figures of people. And not all know how to do it. Particular difficulties arise with the creation on paper of the male body. Because to create a proportional male figure is not easy. And all because you must strictly adhere to the rules of prorisovany details and contours. In order to properly portray the representative of a strong half of mankind need a little perseverance and desire to make your picture perfect.
First, on the paper draw a small blank - idol. It will be the basis of the drawing. For the figure of the calculation takes the size of the head figures. Idol should be in height equal to seven heads. The shoulders located at a distance of one and a half heads from the top of the figure. Shoulders and hips should be equal in breadth to two heads. The beginning of the thighs is at a height of three heads from the beginning of the drawing down and the knees at the level of five goals. At the stage of creating a dummy drawing details do not need anything. The main just to illustrate how a man should look.
Then do a custom line-assistant right in the middle of the figure. All other parts should be drawn symmetrically it. Need a line for the preservation of the balance of the picture. You can now move on to the hands of your men. First you need to determine where he will have a belly button (usually located at a distance of two and a half heads from the top). Hand drawn, depending on the navel, because the same level are the elbows when the arms calm down. Throughout the length of the arm should be held up to mid-thigh.
After the hands start to draw feet. They have to be a little longer than other parts of the body. Knees are half way from the feet to the beginning feet.
To have finally prepared a scheme of idol to turn into a showy man, you need to finish him the body is the way it happens to ordinary people. This can be achieved by using ovals and cylinders. To correctly finish the male body, required knowledge of human anatomy you need to know what muscle groups are located where and how. Make the main focus on the shoulders, not the hips.
Delete all auxiliary lines. You can use the regular eraser (as long as it was soft). Gradually the figure, consisting of incomprehensible lines and sketches, gets a human face. Don't forget to checkout the face. For the lower part of the idol need to round out and place chin. Eyes can do what you want: wide open, closed, half-closed. Most importantly - place them proportionally. The face is drawn on the same principle that all the body - using the knowledge of anatomy. Using the eraser tool permanently erase unnecessary details. And also, where necessary, trace the outline again. Your man ready.

Pleasantville senior plans to honor youngest shooting victim
Updated Nov 18, 2019; Posted Nov 17, 2019
Camden vs. Pleasantville football, Central Jersey Group 2 semifinal, Nov. 15, 2019
By Kevin Minnick | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Ernest Howard had been thinking about it.
How could he honor the youngest victim of Friday's senseless gunfire during the Central Jersey Group 2 semifinal between Camden and host Pleasantville that injured three people and led to the arrest of six men?
On Sunday, the Pleasantville senior running back/linebacker tweeted out that he would wear No. 10 for the remainder of the season to honor a 10-year-old boy who was shot.
"I just wanted to honor him," Howard said. "I thought about it and felt it was a nice gesture. We're still planning on something else, but that will work out until the time comes for the next gesture.
"I don't know him, but he doesn't have the opportunity that we have (to play)."
I will be wearing #10 for the remainder of the season in honor of Micah (Dew) who is only 10 years old fighting for his life still who got affected from the tragic event on Friday night at our playoff game against Camden #DoitforDew #ForMicah #Theville keep fighting Micah!!!
— Ernest Howard JR.💫 (@DatGuyErnest) November 17, 2019
Howard had worn No. 2.
The 10-year-old remained in critical condition as of Sunday morning. Witnesses say he was shot in the neck. A 27-year-old man, who was charged in the incident along with five others, was wounded and a 15-year-old male was grazed by a bullet.

Reporter reflects on tragic night
"It's very honorable for Ernest to want to do that," Pleasantville coach Chris Sacco said. "If not him, I bet everybody on the team would have asked to do that.
"Talking with our team (Saturday) and getting a vibe, they want to get this right. They know they had nothing to do with what happened, but they want to right the ship. Anything we can do ... If wearing that number helps, we'll do it. We're willing to do anything to help the kids, help the community. If we can do something to make a positive, were going to do it.
"Ernest is a great kid, a leader. He's doing what leaders do. He's trying to help make things right and I'm proud of him. I'm proud of all the kids with the way they've handled things the last 48 hours and I'm excited to see them Monday."
The game was suspended with 4:58 remaining in the third quarter. Camden was leading at the time, 6-0 on an 11-yard touchdown run by Nazir Dale in the second quarter.
The game is scheduled to continue Wednesday, but the time and location has yet to be finalized. The NJSIAA said in a statement Saturday that it would be played at a neutral site and no spectators will be permitted to attend.
Pleasantville (8-1), the No. 1 seed and winners of seven straight games, will hold practice Monday for the first time since the incident, according to Howard.
"We've been talking about the game, the situation," Howard said. "We'll just have to wait and see when we step on the field. I hope we are ready. We want to bring it back to the city and do great things."

Home Breaking News 13 new cases of COVID-19 in B.C.; one new death
13 new cases of COVID-19 in B.C.; one new death
ADRIAN Dix, Minister of Health, and Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer, on Tuesday announced 13 new cases of COVID-19, for a total of 2,835 cases in British Columbia.
There was one new COVID-19 related death in the Fraser Health region. There has been a total of 170 deaths in the province.
There are 174 active cases of COVID-19 in the province and 2,491 people who tested positive have recovered.
Of the total COVID-19 cases, 16 individuals are hospitalized, seven of whom are in intensive care. The remaining people with COVID-19 are recovering at home in self-isolation.
Since the start of the pandemic, there have been 960 cases of COVID-19 in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, 1,480 in the Fraser Health region, 131 in the Island Health region, 199 in the Interior Health region and 65 in the Northern Health region.
There have been no new health-care facility outbreaks. In total, six long-term care or assisted-living facilities and one acute-care facility have active outbreaks.
There have been no new community outbreaks. Public health teams continue to provide support for the three remaining community locations.
Dix and Henry said: "Today's modelling shows us that in British Columbia the measures we have in place to protect ourselves and each other from COVID-19, combined with the slow, gradual transition in Phase 2, is working.
"We have eased our restrictions in a way that has allowed us to increase our social interactions to around 65%, while keeping our new cases of COVID-19 low.
"Looking ahead, until we have an effective treatment or vaccine, the rules for safe social interactions must continue to be maintained as part of our everyday activities to stay at this manageable level.
"The modelling tells us that if we go too far, we risk a rapid rebound in B.C., something many others are now experiencing.
"To continue to maintain this careful balance, we have to keep doing what we're doing as individuals and we all know what we need to do.
"The foundations of safety are clear: always stay home when ill, follow good handwashing hygiene, maintain a safe physical distance and use barriers and a non-medical mask if that is challenging. These are our layers of protection and will help protect us all.
"Effective contact tracing is another important layer of protection. As individuals, we also have an important role to play in contact tracing. It is a team effort and requires commitment from all of us to be successful.
"Our responsibility is to keep our bubbles small and know everyone we are with at all times, to allow public health teams to notify everyone who may be at risk and contain the spread as quickly as possible.
"This approach applies to all of us, no matter where we may be: at home, at work, at school or travelling to another community.
"The things that we do, the decisions we make each day, make a difference. We can find the balance as we chart our cautious path forward. Together, let's continue to do our part to protect our province, our communities, our Elders and loved ones."

St. Louis — Last weekend in a cramped locker room at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Tom Izzo was struggling with how to approach his team.
Michigan State had just beaten Maryland, 64-61, to earn a spot in the Big Ten tournament championship game, but Izzo wasn't exactly thrilled with everything he saw on the court.
That's when he asked them, did they want him to lay off, congratulate them, or none of the above?
"I said, 'You want me to pat you on the back, you want me to chew you out, you want me to find a happy medium?' " Izzo said. " 'What do you guys want?' "
The response came quickly, and there's no surprise who it came from.
"Denzel says, 'Whatever it takes to win a championship. It doesn't matter, whatever it takes to win a championship,' " Izzo said.
As second-seeded Michigan State prepares to play No. 15 Middle Tennessee Friday in the Midwest Regional, it brings along that attitude.
It's the attitude adopted by Denzel Valentine and senior Matt Costello the moment Michigan State lost to Duke in last season's Final Four. Since that day, there has been one goal: win a national championship.
"I came up short two years in row and I'm tired of coming up short," Valentine said. "I want to go ahead and win this thing."
It's a no-nonsense approach born out of a regional final loss to eventual champion Connecticut two years ago followed by last year's exit.
And if the Spartans win what would be Izzo's second title, the statement from Valentine will take its place among the iconic moments of Izzo's 19-year run in the NCAA Tournament.
There's Mateen Cleaves calling out his teammate and childhood friend Morris Peterson in a locker room at The Palace during the 2000 title run.
There's Izzo smashing a game tape with a hammer before the 2005 Tournament that ended with a march to the Final Four.
There's last year when Izzo told his team just before it took the court against Louisville in the regional final that if they put in two hours of work they'd have a lifetime of memories.
And now there's Valentine's comment.
"I think that was a hell of a statement by a 22-year-old kid," Izzo said. "I've got a ton of respect for that statement. So maybe someday a few years from now that'll be in the locker room. ... That will be one of those cliché lines that I didn't use, he used, and I thought it was outstanding."
It's not hard to understand why Valentine, a candidate for player of the year, and Costello have gotten to the point where it's national championship or bust. There's really nothing else for them to accomplish.
They've won the Big Ten twice, reached the Sweet 16 as freshmen, the Elite Eight as sophomores and the Final Four as juniors.
That leaves one logical next step.
"That was our goal when we came here, to win a national championship," Costello said. "We've had our opportunities ... and (messed) it up. We want to go out as one of the best classes, if not the best class, in school history. To do that we've got to win a national championship."
And that means the Spartans don't have a problem with Izzo getting on them. While teams might have had players who have wilted under the pressure, this one has thrived.
After Michigan State ended the regular season with a win at home over Ohio State, the afterglow hardly lasted. By Monday, Izzo put the Spartans through one of their toughest practices.
"With this team, I just felt like I can get on my best player," Izzo said. "I can do it every day if I wanted to. I can do it every day if I needed to. When you have that, that makes it so much easier for the rest of the guys."
It hasn't been just this week, either. Izzo has been talking to Valentine and Costello for several weeks about preparing for this run.
And when Valentine told his coach to keep pushing, Izzo realized he was doing it right.
"That minute in the locker room when Denzel says you do whatever you've got to do, that means they grew," Izzo said. "That means they understood it. That means they get it.
"I'd like to live my life a little bit, too. But when you're trying to get to the top of that pyramid, when only one team is left standing, you've got to do what you've got to do."

Q: Is it useful to mini-refactor code in hopes of improving quality, or is it just "moving code around" without much of a benefit? Example
I came across monolithic code that does "everything" in one place - loading data from database, showing HTML markup, acting as a router/controller/action.  I began applying SRP moving database code into its own file, providing better naming for things, and it all looked good, but then I began having doubts as to why I'm doing this.
Why refactor? What is the purpose?  Is it useless? What is the benefit? Note that I mostly left the monolithic file as is, but refactored only the smaller portion that was relevant to the area where I needed to do some work.
Original code:
To give a concrete example, I came across this code snippet - it loads product specifications either by a known product id, or by a user-selected version id:
if ($verid)
    $sql1 = "SELECT * FROM product_spec WHERE id = " . clean_input($verid);
else
    $sql1 = "SELECT * FROM product_spec WHERE product_id = " . clean_input($productid) ;
$result1 = query($sql1);
$row1 = fetch_array($result1);
/* html markup follows */

Refactoring:
Since I'm doing some work requiring me to change things in this specific part of code, I changed it to use repository pattern and upgraded it to use object-oriented MySQL facilities:
//some implementation details omitted
$this->repository = new SpecRepository($mysql);
if ($verid)
    $row1 = $this->repository->getSpecByVersion($verid);
else
    $row1 = $this->repository->getSpecByProductId($productid);
/* html markup follows to be refactored or left alone till another time*/

//added new class:
class SpecRepository extends MySqlRepository
{

    function getSpecByVersion(int $verid)
    {
        return $this->getMySql()->paramQuery("
            SELECT * FROM product_spec WHERE id = ?
        ", $verid)->getSingleArray();
    }

    function getSpecByProductId(int $productid)
    {
        return $this->getMySql()->paramQuery("
            SELECT * FROM product_spec WHERE product_id = ?
        ", $productid)->getSingleArray();
    }
}

Should I do this?
Looking back at the changes, the code is still there, code with same functionality, but in different files, different names, places, using more object-oriented style rather than procedural.  Actually it's funny to note that the refactored code looks a lot more bloated despite having the very same functionality.
I foresee some answers saying "if you don't know the reasons why you refactor, don't do it", and perhaps I might agree.  My reasons is to improve quality of code over time (and my hope is that I will do so by following SRP and other principles).
Are those good enough reasons or am I wasting my time on "rearranging code around" this way?  Overall refactoring this feels a bit like treading water to be honest - it takes time and it becomes more "separated" as far as SRP goes but despite my good intentions I do not feel like I am making amazing improvements.  Hence, debating if it is best to leave code as before and not refactor.
Why did I refactor in the first place?
In my case I am adding new functionality for a new product line, so I have to either follow existing code structure for similar product lines, or write my own.

A: Refactoring does bloat if you are disassembling a monolith.
However, you already found the benefit.
"In my case I am adding new functionality for a new product line."
You can't add functionality to a monolith very easily without breaking things.
You said that the same code is getting the data and doing the markup. Great, until you want to change which columns that you are selecting and manipulating to show in certain conditions. Suddenly, your markup code stops working in a certain case and you have to refactor.

A: I consider refactoring if I know that I will have to work months or even years with that project. If I have to do a change here and there, than I resist myself the urge to move code around.
The preferred way of doing refactoring is when I have a base code with some sort of automated tests. Even so I have to be very careful with what I change to make sure the things are working like before. You will lose trust very soon if you deliver bugs in other areas than the one you supposed to work.
I value refactoring for the following reasons:

*

*I understand the code better

*I remove duplicated code so if I have a
bug in one place I don't have to hunt every where were the code had
been copy pasted

*I create classes that have their well defined role.
For example I can reuse the same repository to hydrate a HTML page, a
XML feed or a background job. This wouldn't have been possible if
the database access code lives only in the HTML class

*I rename
variables, methods, classes, modules, folders if they don't match with
the current reality; I comment the code via variable names, method names

*I solve complex bugs with a combination between unit tests and
refactoring

*I have the flexibility to replace entire modules,
packages. If the current ORM is outdated, buggy or un-maintained,
then is easier to replace it if it is not spread all over the
project.

*I discover new capabilities or improvements that result in proposals for the customer.

*I created reusable components. This was one of the greatest benefits because the work done in that project could have been re-used for another client/project.

*I often start with the dumbest, hardcoded, wacky solution and I refactor it later once I learn more. This later moment might be today or maybe after several days. I don't want to spend too much time to architect the solution. This will come while writing - rewriting the code back and forth.

In a perfect world refactorings should be verified by unit tests, integration tests so on. If there are none, try add them. Also some IDE might help a lot. I usually use a plugin that costs money. I want to spend little time with refactorings and be very efficient about it.
I also introduced bugs. I can see why some QA are asking are you guys doing refactoring? because everything stopped working! This is the risk the team has to embrace and we always have to be transparent about it.
During the years I found that continuous refactoring improved my productivity. Was much easier to add new features. Also big rebuilds didn't require a whole rewrite as often happened when the code base wasn't adapted to the product's evolution.
Also it's fun.

A: In the concrete example you gave, refactoring might not have been necessary, at least not yet. But you saw that there was a potential for messier code in the future which would have led to a longer and more tedious refactoring, so you took the initiative and cleaned things up now.
I would also say the advantage you gained here was code that is easier to understand, at least from my point of view, as someone who doesn't know your code base.

In general:
Does the refactoring make it easier for other developers to understand your code?
Does the refactoring make it easier to enhance the code?
Does the refactoring make it easier to maintain the code?
Does the refactoring make it easier to debug?
If the answer to any of these was "yes", then it was worth it, and it was more than just "moving code around?
If the answer to all of these was "no", then maybe it didn't need to be refactored.
The final size of the code base might be larger in terms of LoC (although some refactorings can shrink the code base by streamlining redundant code), but that shouldn't be a factor if there are other gains.

A: I think the question you have to ask yourself is not so much "Is there a benefit?" but "Who will pay for this work?"
We can all argue about the perceived benefits until the end of days, but unless you have a customer that believes in those benefits and values them enough to pay for the changes you shouldn't be doing them.
It's all too easy when you are on the a dev team somewhere to see code and want to refactor it to make it 'better'. But putting a value on 'better code' when the product already works is really hard.
Things like 'faster development of new features' don't cut it because they are just reduced costs. You need to generate sales.

A: To my opinion refactoring is a good investment.
Otherwise you will soon get technical debts (unsolved problems, bad code which is only working under certain conditions, etc.).
The technical debts will soon get larger and larger, until the software is no longer maintainable.
But to make refactoring work, you also have to invest in tests.
You should create automated tests, ideally you should have unit tests and integration tests. This prvenets you from breaking existing code.
If you have to convince your boss or colleagues, you should read some books about agile methods (e.g. SCRUM) and test driven development.

A simpler way to create JavaScript
By Jim McCauley ( netmag ) published 1 September 14
Inspired by accessible programming language Processing, p5.js makes it easy for anyone to sketch rich JavaScript apps.
Processing is a brilliant programming language aimed at more at artists and designers than at coders. Designed to help non-programmers get started with programming, it makes it easy for get instant visual results from your code. It's possible to run Processing programs in a browser using Processing.js, but now there's an alternative in the form of p5.js.
Currently in beta, it's a JavaScript library that starts with the original Processing goal of accessible coding, but that enables you to create attractive JavaScript examples that run directly in the browser.
You can create simple interactive apps like this with a few lines of code
Created by New York-based artist and programmer Lauren McCarthy and a team of contributors, p5.js is a software sketchbook for the web that features all of Processing's drawing functionality, but also lets you use add-on libraries to interact with HTML5 objects such as video and sound.
Long-time Processing fan Brendan Dawes has already been experimenting with p5.js, and has used it in conjunction with PhantomJS to generate a new sine wave-based header image for his Twitter account every hour. See how he did it here.
Brendan Dawes uses p5.js to generate these fab sine wave-based images for his Twitter account
While it's a new interpretation of Processing rather than a straight port, it's easy to switch to pf.js and convert existing Processing projects to p5.js; there are instructions on the site. There's also an official editing environment on the way; if you have a Mac you can download an alpha version today. Otherwise you can simply use your preferred text editor; there are instructions for setting p5.js up with Sublime Text 2 on the site, along with loads of tutorials and code examples to help you get started.

La ripetizione (dal latino repetǐtǐo, -ōnis, da repetěre, composto di re-- con valore iterativo e di petěre, «chiedere») o reiterazione è una figura retorica che produce una successione di membri uguali o solo leggermente variati nella forma, nella funzione sintattica o nel senso. È una forma di enumerazione.

Sul meccanismo della ripetizione si fondano numerose figure di parola, come l'anafora, l'anadiplosi, l'epanalessi, l'epifora, la climax, ma è anche un procedimento linguistico comune nell'uso sia dotto sia quotidiano di lingue come il tedesco e l'inglese, o di linguaggi letterari come quello biblico. Inoltre la ripetizione è una costante del discorso poetico, alla quale spingono le rime, assonanze, cadenze ritmiche, allitterazioni e tutte le altre forme di parallelismo caratteristiche della composizione lirica.

Keszthelyi Vivien (Debrecen, 2000. december 7. –) háromszoros túraautó bajnok autóversenyző, az Audi Sport Racing Academy tagja. Minden idők legfiatalabb női versenyzője a nemzetközi GT4-es bajnokságok történetében, aki dobogós helyen zárta a szezont.

Professzionális karrierjét 2014-ben az FIA Swift Cup Europe sorozatban kezdte, és az ott eltöltött két sikeres szezon eredményeképpen, 2015 őszétől már az Audi Sport Racing Academy egyetlen női és egyben legfiatalabb tagja lett, amivel a magyar autósport történetének első gyári kötődésű pilótájává vált. Élete első bajnoki címeit egy Audi TT volánja mögött nyerte 2016-ban a Közép-Európai Zóna Túraautó Bajnokságban, ahol –15 évesen – sprint (rövid táv) illetve endurance (hosszú táv) kategóriában is magyar bajnok lett.

2017-ben, az Audi TT Cup versenysorozatán az abszolút összetett tabella 2. helyen végzett, ezzel ő lett minden idők legfiatalabb női versenyzője a nemzetközi GT4-es bajnokságok történetében, aki dobogós helyen zárta a szezont. 2018-ban az Audi R8-kupában elért Rookie bajnoki címe mellett az abszolút tabellán megszerzett ezüstérmével ő lett minden idők legfiatalabb női autóversenyzője a nemzetközi GT4-es (nagytúraautó) bajnokságok történetében, aki dobogós helyen zárta a szezont. 2019-ben a  FIA által hitelesített ázsiai F3-as téli bajnokságban, valamint az újonnan induló W Seriesben versenyzett. Az év során elért eredményeivel, az első Forma-3-as szezonban gyűjtött pontok tekintetében ő lett a  magyar autósport történetének legeredményesebb pilótája a kategóriában.

Pályafutása

Kezdetek
Négy éves kora óta érdeklődik az autók iránt, saját bevallása szerint babák helyett már akkoriban is elektromos dzsippel játszott. 12 évesen kilátogatott a Red Bull Ringre, ahol életében először tekintett meg versenyt élőben. Akkor és ott véglegesen elhatározta, hogy az autóversenyzéssel szeretne foglalkozni. Kivételes tehetségéhez társuló kitartása és rátermettsége révén a magyar versenyző fiatal kora ellenére a felnőtt mezőnyben is sorra vette az akadályokat.

2014: A külön engedély
Az FIA Swift Cup Europe sorozatában fiatal korára tekintettel a nemzetközi versenyeken csak külön engedéllyel indulhatott. A junior kategóriában 3., az abszolút felnőtt mezőnyben pedig a 6. helyen végzett az összesítésben. Kiemelkedő eredményeit látva, a Swift Cup Austria promótere egyedüli magyar versenyzőként hívta meg az osztrák sorozat egyik futamára, ahol a felnőtt férfi mezőnyben elért előkelő 4. helyezésével ismét bizonyította vitathatatlan tehetségét.

2015: A fejlődés útján
Második szezonjában az FIA Swift Cup Europe-ban az abszolút 3., junior 2., valamint a női kategória 1. helyén végzett.

2016: Kétszeres magyar felnőtt túraautó bajnok
A benne rejlő potenciál a 2016-ban induló Audi Sport Racing Academy érdeklődését is felkeltette. A sikeres németországi teszteket követően egyedüli hölgyként került be azon három versenyző közé, akit a tehetségképző kiválasztott az Audi Sport gyári támogatott akadémistái közé. Ezzel hatalmasat lépett előre és 15 éves korától a magyar autósport első gyári nevelésű pilótájaként folytatta pályafutását.

Kategóriát váltott és korai sikereihez fűződő autóját lecserélve egy 350 lóerős Audi TT volánja mögött indult el az FIA Central European Zone Túraautó-bajnokságban. Nem kellett sokat várni az újabb sikerre, rögtön az első szezonjának végén a sprint (rövid táv) és az endurance (hosszú táv) kategóriában is első lett, így mindössze 15 évesen már kétszeres magyar bajnoknak vallhatta magát.

A szezon záróhétvégéjén pályafutása 60. versenyén a 60. dobogós helyezését, és 25. győzelmét érte el.

2017: A nemzetközi sorozatok legfiatalabb magyar pontszerzője

2017-ben az Audi Sport TT Cup versenysorozatán folytatta pályafutását, ahol először tapasztalhatta meg az egyenlő autók közti kiélezett helyzetek kínálta "test-test elleni küzdelmet". A szezon folyamán rajta kívül álló okok miatt (balesetek, kommunikációs hiba okozta büntetés) 14-ből 7 versenyt tudott befejezni. Ennek ellenére 65 pontot gyűjtve a 13. helyen zárta a bajnokságot, s ezzel a magyar autósport történetének legfiatalabb pontszerzője lett a nemzetközi sorozatok tekintetében.

2018: Minden idők legfiatalabb GT4-es dobogósa
A 2018-as idényt már a GT4-es Audi Sport Seyffarth R8 LMS GT Cupban teljesítette, ami abból a szempontból is különleges volt számára, hogy először állt rajthoz hátsókerék-hajtású versenyautóval. Ismételten szintet lépett, hiszen a V10-es 5200 cm³-es motorral rendelkező, közel 500 lóerős autó jóval nagyobb erőt képviselt mint korábbi autói.

A szezon utolsó versenyhétvégéjének utolsó körében bemutatott előzésével a Rookie kategóriában bajnoki címet szerzett, abszolút kategóriában pedig ezüstérmes lett. Ezzel ő lett minden idők legfiatalabb női autóversenyzője a nemzetközi GT4-es (nagy túraautó) kategóriában, aki a szezon befejeztével dobogós helyen végzett.

2019: Formula–3 Ázsia bajnokság
2019. január 2-án hivatalossá vált, hogy Keszthelyi a BlackArts Racing versenyzőjeként a FIA által hitelesített Formula–3 Ázsia-bajnokság téli kiírásában áll majd először rajthoz az évben. Az ázsiai bajnokságban való indulással a legfiatalabb és egyben az első női pilóta lett a magyar autósport történetében, aki egy teljes szezon keretein belül eljutott a nemzetközi Forma–3-as kategóriáig. Élete első F3-as sorozatában 9 versenyből ötön szerzett pontot, összesen 13-at, amivel a 13. helyen végzett, s minden idők legfiatalabb, egyben legsikeresebb magyar autóversenyzője lett a kategóriában.

2019: W Series
2019-ben még rajthoz állt a kizárólag nőknek indított W Series bajnokságon, amely szintén a Formula–3-as géposztályra alapszik. 100 versenyző közül választották ki azt a 18-at, aki a sorozaton indulhat. Két forduló után a Top28-ba került. Az utolsó kvalifikációs fordulóra 2019 március végén került sor. A válogatót követően a sorozat bejelentette a rajtrácsot kiérdemlők listáját, melyből kiderült, hogy a 18 éves magyar pilóta a W Series hivatalos, szerződtetett tesztpilótájaként és tartalékversenyzőjeként folytatja pályafutását a 2019-es idényben, így ő lett a mezőny egyik legfiatalabb tagja.

Emma Kimiläinen sérülése miatt először a zolderi versenyen állhatott rajthoz, azonban a második körben az autójába beleszaladtak, és így kiesett a versenyből. Második versenyén, Misanóban azonban már a 10. helyen ért célba, amellyel megszerezte első pontját. Az évad utolsó futamán, az angliai Brands Hatch versenypályáján ismét rajthoz állhatott. A 17. helyről indulva végül a 14. helyet szerezte meg. A W Series összesített pontversenyében a 17. helyen végzett.

A 2019-es szezonban elért eredményeivel, az első Forma–3-as szezonban gyűjtött pontok tekintetében ő lett a  magyar autósport történetének legeredményesebb pilótája a kategóriában.

2020: Szerződés a Carlin csapatához
2020. augusztus 6-án a Carlin Motorsport három évre szóló együttműködési szerződést kötött vele.

2021: Euroformula Open
2021-ben az Euroformula Open elnevezésű, Formula–3-as géposztálynak megfelelő bajnokságban áll rajthoz a német Team Motopark csapat színeiben. Portugáliában, az Algarve pályán rendezett első versenyhétvége három futamából, kettőt pontszerző helyen fejezett be. A második fordulóban, a franciaországi Paul Ricard aszfaltcsíkon is sikerült pontot szereznie, majd a következő versenyeken, a belgiumi Spában már mindhárom futamon a legjobb 10-ben végzett, ezzel eddigi legjobb eredményét érte el. Júliusban, hazai pályán, a Hungaroringen ismét két pontot gyűjtött be. A lebonyolítás után nem sokkal, 2021. július 22-én csapata hivatalosan bejelentette, hogy Imolától az FIA Formula–3 bajnokságban is szereplő, cseh Roman Staněk veszi át a helyét.

Pályán kívül

Pályafutása kezdetétől szem előtt tartja jótékony ügyeket, az évek során folyamatosan növelte társadalmi szerepvállalását:

 így lett az UNICEF Bajnoka,
 valamint a Mosoly Alapítvány sportnagykövete.

Aktív tagja a Dare to be Different elnevezésű világmozgalomnak, melynek alapítója Susie Wolff, a Forma-1-es Mercedes istálló csapatfőnökének, Toto Wolffnak a felesége. A mozgalom célja, hogy minden lehetséges eszközzel és programmal segítse azokat a fiatal hölgyeket, akik az autósportban képzelik el a jövőjüket akár pilótaként, versenymérnökként, vagy csapatfőnökként.

Az emberek mellett az állatok jóléte is központi szerepet tölt be az életében. A WWF-nél egy fehér tigrist és egy pandát fogadott örökbe, ezzel is felhívva a veszélyeztetett állatfajokra a figyelmet.

2017 decemberében elkezdte a helikopter vezetéséhez szükséges szakszolgálati engedély megszerzését, ezzel ő lehet Magyarország történetének legfiatalabb helikopter-pilótája.

2018 októberében az UNICEF magyarországi szervezete kiemelt sajtóesemény keretein belül jelentette be, hogy Keszthelyi Vivient az UNICEF Bajnokának választotta. Vivien, az UNICEF Bajnokaként, a csecsemőhalandóság visszaszorításának fontosságára, valamint a csecsemőkori immunizáció támogatására szeretné felhívni a figyelmet.

Gyakran látogat el más sorozatok, mint például a Blancpain GT Series, vagy az ADAC GT Masters vagy a Formula–1 versenyhétvégéire, és rendszeresen megjelenik az Audi Magyarország által rendezett vagy szponzorált eseményeken.

Bár életének legjelentősebb részét az edzés és a versenyzés köti le, a fennmaradó szabadidejében legszívesebben zongorázik és lovagol.

Róla írták
"Burkus Egon, a Swift Cup Europe promotere szerint Vivien alig 13 évesen már nagyon érett és tehetséges pilóta."

"A fiatal lány minden szenvedélyének rendel alá, aminek meg is van az eredménye...Vivien igazi profi, és az sem tántorítja el az autósporttól, hogy szenvedett már komoly balesetet versenyzés közben."

"Aki a fiúkat is lekörözi."

"A férfi pilóták között is tekintélyt vívott ki magának. Ám az ambiciózus tini nem elégszik meg ennyivel, az a célja, hogy a világ leggyorsabbja legyen."

"Keszthelyi Vivien 15 évesen a magyar autóversenyzők egyik legjobbika."

"Csodatini"

Sepp Haider, az Audi tehetséggondozó programjának vezetője: "Vivien lepett meg engem a legjobban, 16 éves kora ellenére elképesztően okos, és hihetetlenül nyugodt. Tökéletesen uralja az Audi TT Kupás autóját."

Her story haunts Hoshowsky the most, from her sweet innocence to the "collateral damage.
"Whoever killed Men Canada Goose Yukon Bomber Black Australia Sale them may still be alive and could still be prosecuted," Hoshowsky, 46, said in an interview.
Raped, strangled, then stuffed inside a fridge at the roominghouse of still missing Dennis Melvyn Howe, police keep her cold case open even the fridge preserved for a trial they fear may never occur.
"DNA testing didn't exist when some were killed," but yielded new clues in several cases, he said. "In others, samples no longer exist or were never collected the way they are now."
"Nothing gets people so upset as the murder of a child."
In two cases, an expert's work gave names to skulls kept for decades, after relatives recognized his clay reconstructions.
Instead of using clippings, Hoshowsky interviewed people linked to the silent bodies or the vanished, whose whereabouts and fates remain unknown.
Sharin' Morningstar Keenan was only nine when a man snatched the Toronto youngster from a park near her Annex area home just over 27 years ago.
One was Glen Davis, a multi millionaire philanthropist he met as a 12 year old Sun carrier the year Sharin' vanished.
By retelling stories, whatever conscience exists in a stone cold heart may be shaken loose in their waning years, he hopes. Or perhaps someone no longer fears an aging relative or acquaintance and "will do the right thing," a common police appeal.
In addition to her parent's pain, the weight of investigating another children's murder drove one detective to quit Toronto's force and his partner to suicide.
He talked with relatives, friends, detectives, retired homicide hunters, lawyers, private detectives, TV producers, victim advocates and forensics experts.
Encouraged by a Dundurn Press editor after his first book in 2007, about Canada's last two executions, in Toronto, Hoshowsky eliminated cases police say were solved during his research.
Sharin's smiling face, those of three other children, a young woman plus a man's skull stare from the cover of a new book that updates more than a dozen GTA mysteries. Hoshowsky said in an interview.


The United States is losing its preeminence in science and technology to countries such as China because these other countries invest vastly — vastly — more than the United States does in science and math education and training. These countries also harness the power and resources of their central government on behalf of education, while the United States is still wedded to the notion that education is a local responsibility. It would be one thing for China to graduate more engineers than the United States does, but what has a more pernicious long-term effect on U.S. scientific standing and national security is the fact that more patents are now being awarded each year to Chinese nationals relative to patents awarded to U.S. citizens. Perhaps all is not lost, though. Forty-eight teams representing some of the best and brightest students from across the country will compete at the FIRST LEGO League Ohio State Championship Tournament (FLL) at the Nutter Center, on the campus of Wright State University, on 12-13 January. The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Educational Outreach Office cosponsors the annual event which brings together nine to fourteen year-olds to demonstrate their engineering and problem-solving skills, critical thinking, teamwork, sportsmanship, and sense of community. On 12 January teams will participate in closed-door judging, where they will meet with three panels of judges who evaluate their research project, teamwork, robot design, robot programming, and performance. Judging is not open to the public. On 13 January robot table competitions will run on the main floor of the Nutter Center from 9:00 a.m until noon. This portion of the competition is free and open to the public.
The Air Force Research Laboratory has been affiliated with FIRST LEGO since 2001 when it became lead organization for the Ohio's state program. Air Force leaders said they recognize the importance of developing enthusiasm for math and science among young people, said Kathy Schweinfurth, director of Base Educational Outreach.
Inventor Dean Kamen founded FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) to inspire young people's interest in science and technology. Since 1988 FIRST and LEGO Group have partnered to challenge teams who use LEGO bricks, motors, gears, and software to design and build robots to solve real-world engineering challenges. Each September FIRST announces the annual challenge to student teams around the world. More than 90,000 students from more than thirty countries are competing in this year's qualifying events and championship tournaments, according to U.S. FIRST. Note that along with the FLL Ohio State Championship, a Junior FIRST LEGO Expo, a design and build program for small teams of children between the ages of six and nine, will also be held. Seven Ohio teams from around the state will show off their Power Puzzle solutions through models and research posters. The FLL Ohio State Championship and the FLL Wright State University Regional are sponsored by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Educational Outreach; the Wright State University College of Engineering and Computer Science; the Ohio Educational Outreach Foundation; Battelle, Dayton Operations; American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Dayton Section; and Universal Technology Corporation.
