\section{Introduction and Main Idea}
A celebrated criteria for the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis by Hardy and Littlewood [3] is the estimate
\begin{equation}\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{(-x)^n}{n!\zeta(2n+1)}=O(x^{-1/4+\epsilon}),\end{equation}
for every $\epsilon>0.$ Titchmarsh has discussed the background of this result in [8, pg.382] (see also [7] for some commentary). In a recent paper by Dixit [1, Section 7, Number 2], it was posed as a problem to offer a Fourier transform representation of the left side of (1.1) involving the Riemann xi function $\Xi(\frac{t}{2}).$ Here $\Xi(t):=\xi(\frac{1}{2}+it),$ and [5] $\xi(s):=\frac{1}{2}s(s-1)\pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\Gamma(\frac{s}{2})\zeta(s).$ A reasonable guess would be the integral
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\Xi(t)\cos(\log(x)t)}{(t^2+\frac{1}{4})|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)|^2}dt,$$
but unfortunately, it does not converge because there are infinitely many $t\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)=0.$ As a result of our interest in this problem we were, however, led to some interesting results we believe are just as relevant. In particular we instead decided to work with the integral
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{f(t)\cos(\log(x)t)}{|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt,$$
where the $f(t)$ is appropriately chosen so that the integral may be transformed into a inverse Mellin transform by using symmetry properties [8, pg.35]. This was a natural choice since, as noted in [8, pg.45], Hadamard and de la Vall$\acute{e}$e Poussin established that $\zeta(s)\neq0$ if $\Re(s)=1.$
\begin{theorem} Let $\mu(n)$ denote the M$\ddot{o}$bius function. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we have that
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{\cosh(\pi t)|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt=\pi\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{n^2e^{-x/2}+m^2e^{x/2}}.\end{equation}
Furthermore, we have \begin{equation}h_2(x):=\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{n^2x+m^2}=O(x^{-1/4}),\end{equation} as $x\rightarrow 0^{+},$
and
\begin{equation}h_2(x)=O(x^{-3/4+\delta'}),\end{equation} for every $\delta'>0$ as $x\rightarrow \infty.$
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof} First, we transform the left side of (1.2),
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{\cosh(\pi t)|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt=\frac{1}{2ie^{x/2}}\int_{\frac{1}{2}-i\infty}^{\frac{1}{2}+i\infty}\frac{e^{sx}\Gamma(s)\Gamma(1-s)ds}{\zeta(2s)\zeta(2-2s)}.\end{equation} For the left hand side of (1.5) note that since [4, pg.104] $$\frac{1}{\zeta(1+it)}=O(\log(t)),$$ we have
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{\cosh(\pi t)|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt=O\left(\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-\pi t}\cos(xt)\log(2|t|)^2dt\right),$$ which shows convergence. In the case of the right hand side of (1.5), note that for $\Re(s)>\frac{1}{2},$ $x>0,$ we have
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{s-1}\left(\sum_{n\ge1}\mu(n)e^{-n^2xt}\right)dt=\frac{\Gamma(s)}{x^s\zeta(2s)}.\end{equation} If we now assume the Riemann hypothesis [8, Theorem 14.25(A)] we may extend the region of holomorphy to $\Re(s)>\frac{1}{4}.$ From Parseval's formula for Mellin transforms [6, pg.82] with $h(t)=\sum_{n\ge1}\mu(n)e^{-n^2t}$ and (1.6) we have that
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}h(xt)h(t)dt=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{a-i\infty}^{a+i\infty} \frac{\Gamma(s)\Gamma(1-s)}{x^s\zeta(2s)\zeta(2-2s)}ds=\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{n^2x+m^2},$$ for $\frac{1}{4}<a<\frac{3}{4},$ and $x>0.$ This may also be computed using known Mellin transforms, such as [6, pg.88, eq.(3.2.6)]. On the other hand, using the concept from [8, pg.35], we can transform the integral to
$$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{\cosh(\pi t)|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt=\frac{e^{-x/2}}{2i}\int_{\frac{1}{2}-i\infty}^{\frac{1}{2}+i\infty} e^{xs}\frac{\Gamma(s)\Gamma(1-s)}{\zeta(2s)\zeta(2-2s)}ds,$$
which proves (1.2).

Recall that we defined $h_2(x)$ to be the absolutely convergent series for $x>0,$
$$h_2(x):=\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{n^2x+m^2}.$$ Moving the line of integration to the region $-1<b<0$ gives (assuming $\rho=\frac{1}{2}+i\gamma$ are simple)
\begin{equation}h_2(x)=\frac{x^{-1/4}}{2}\sum_{\gamma: \zeta(\frac{1}{2}+i\gamma)=0}\frac{x^{-i\gamma/2}\Gamma(\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{1}{2}\gamma)\Gamma(\frac{3}{4}-i\frac{1}{2}\gamma)}{\zeta'(\frac{1}{2}+i\gamma)\zeta(\frac{3}{2}-i\gamma)}-\frac{12}{\pi^2}\end{equation}
$$+\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{b-i\infty}^{b+i\infty} \frac{\Gamma(s)\Gamma(1-s)}{x^s\zeta(2s)\zeta(2-2s)}ds.$$ If we assume the first series on the right hand side of (1.7) converges absolutely, we may similarly argue as in [3, pg.161] to find we have that it is $O(x^{-1/4}).$ As the remaining poles at the integers $s=-n,$ $n\ge1,$ of the integrand in (1.7) give rise to residues with higher order terms $O(x^N)$ and $O(x^N\log(x))$ for $N\ge1.$ To see how $O(x^N\log(x))$ arises, note that these are double poles because of $\Gamma(s)$ and $1/\zeta(2s)$ in the integrand. The asymptotic estimate (1.3) now follows for $x\rightarrow 0^{+}.$ In the case of (1.4), when $x\rightarrow\infty,$ we replace $s$ by $1-s$ in our integral leaving $x^{s-1}$ in the integrand. In this instance the remaining terms are $O(x^{-M})$ and $O(x^{-M}\log(x)),$ $M\ge1,$ after computing the residue at the non-trivial zeros. This implies that the growth as $x\rightarrow\infty$ is closer in behavior to the first computed residue at the non-trivial zeros $O(x^{-3/4}),$ as the other residues tend to $0$ faster. \end{proof}
\par We mention that our $h(t)$ may be replaced with the Riesz function $\sum_{n\ge1}\mu(n)n^{-2}e^{-t/n^2}$ [8, pg.382] in the proof to arrive at the result. This implies that our main theorem is related to Riesz criteria through a Mellin convolution transform. In light of the work [4], we thought it would be of interest to offer the following.

\begin{corollary} If $\Re(\beta)>0,$ then
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-t^2/4\beta}}{|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi\beta}}e^{-\pi^2\beta}\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-t^2\beta}\cos(2\pi t\beta)e^{-t/2}h_2(e^{-t})dt. \end{equation}
Further, $$\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-t/2}h_2(e^{-t})dt=-2\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{nm}\tan^{-1}(\frac{n}{m})=0,$$
is equivalent to the PNT.
\end{corollary}
\begin{proof} We work with the integral [2, pg.515, eq.3.898] valid for $y>0,$ $\Re(\beta)>0,$
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}\cos(yt)e^{-t^2/(4\beta)}\cosh(\alpha t)dt=\sqrt{\pi\beta}e^{\alpha^2\beta-\beta y^2}\cos(2\alpha\beta y). \end{equation}
By Theorem 1.1, we have the integral in (1.8) after application of Fourier inversion. Namely, we compute
$$ \int_{0}^{\infty} \cos(x2\beta\pi)e^{-x^2\beta}\left(\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{\cosh(\pi t)|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt\right)dx$$
$$\begin{aligned} &=\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\cosh(\pi t)|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}\left(\int_{0}^{\infty} \cos(x2\beta\pi)e^{-x^2\beta}\cos(xt)dx \right)dt\\
&=\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-t^2/4\beta}}{|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt. \end{aligned}$$
Here we have applied our definition of $h_2(x),$ equation (1.9) with $\alpha=\pi,$ and Fubini's theorem to interchange the integrals.
For the next part, we recall the Prime Number Theorem is equivalent to the statement that [8] $$\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)}{n}=0.$$
By Theorem 1.1, we apply the Fourier inversion theorem again, and then set $t=0$ and integrate through by absolute convergence to get the desired formula
$$\sum_{n,m\ge1}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{n^2e^{t/2}+e^{-t/2}m^2}dt$$ $$\begin{aligned} &=\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{n^2}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\partial}{\partial t} \left(2\tan^{-1}(e^{t/2}\frac{n}{m})\frac{n}{m}\right)dt \\
&=\pi\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{nm}-2\sum_{n,m\ge1}\frac{\mu(n)\mu(m)}{nm}\tan^{-1}(\frac{n}{m}).\end{aligned}$$ \end{proof}
We mention that the series should be expected to converge to $0$ under the PNT and the squeeze theorem, since $-\frac{\pi}{2}<\tan^{-1}(\frac{n}{m})<\frac{\pi}{2},$ for each natural number $n,m.$
\section{The Perron formula}
In this section give a further example involving the Mellin-Perron formula that appeals to the Merten's function $M(x)=\sum_{n\le x}\mu(n).$ Using the Mellin-Perron formula [6, pg.93] for $c>\frac{1}{2},$ $x\ge1,$
\begin{equation}M_2(x):=\sum_{n^2\le x}'\mu(n)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{c-i \infty}^{c+i \infty}\frac{x^s}{s\zeta(2s)}ds,\end{equation}
Where the prime indicates that the sum is to be halved if $x=1.$ Note that $M_2(x)=M(\sqrt{x})$ when $x>1.$ Hence, an equivalent form of the Riemann Hypothesis is that for every $\epsilon>0,$
\begin{equation}M_2(x)=O(x^{\frac{1}{4}+\epsilon}).\end{equation}
This follows clearly from (2.1) and [8, Theorem 14.25(A)].

\begin{theorem}We have, under the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis,
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{(t^2+\frac{1}{4})|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt=\pi e^{-x/2}\int_{1}^{\infty}M_2(e^{-x}t)M_2(t)\frac{dt}{t^2}.\end{equation}
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof} If we assume the RH and extend the region of holomorphy of (2.1) to $\Re(s)>\frac{1}{4},$ we have for $\frac{1}{4}<d<\frac{3}{4},$
\begin{equation}\int_{1}^{\infty}M_2(xt)M_2(t)\frac{dt}{t^2}=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{d-i \infty}^{d+i \infty}\frac{x^{-s}}{s(1-s)\zeta(2s)\zeta(2-2s)}ds.\end{equation}
On the other hand and we have,
\begin{equation}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(xt)}{(t^2+\frac{1}{4})|\zeta(1+2it)|^2}dt= \frac{e^{-x/2}}{2i}\int_{\frac{1}{2}-i \infty}^{\frac{1}{2}+i \infty}\frac{e^{xs}}{s(1-s)\zeta(2s)\zeta(2-2s)}ds.\end{equation}\end{proof}
Note that the validity of (2.3) depends on the RH, since if $M_2(x)=O(x^{\delta})$ where $\frac{1}{4}<\delta<\frac{1}{2},$ we have
$$\int_{1}^{\infty}M_2(t)M_2(t)\frac{dt}{t^2}=O\left(\int_{1}^{\infty}t^{2\delta-2}dt\right)=O(1).$$ If we only had $\delta\ge\frac{1}{2}$ then the integral would diverge.

\section{Conclusions}
First, we believe we have given a new route in exploring the applications of Fourier-type integrals in relation to RH criteria. Second, in light of our Theorem 2.1, it would seem to be of interest to explore possible connections with the weak Merten's conjecture [8, eq.(14.29.1)],
$$\int_{1}^{X^2}\left(\frac{M_2(t)}{\sqrt{t}}\right)^2dt=\int_{1}^{X}\left(\frac{M(t)}{t}\right)^2dt=O(\log(X)).$$

"Aloe Vista." A view of Scripps Pier at La Jolla Shores.
"Gatorman." The La Jolla Rough Water Swim is three miles from the Cove to Scripps Pier and back. This photo was chosen for the Sony World Photography Awards 2011 Shortlist.
Landscape and travel photographer Lee Sie captures the vibrant hues of iconic sceneries and also the less familiar gems of San Diego in his exhibit at the San Diego International Airport. His featured work at the "Chromatic Cityscape" exhibit is on display at the Commuter Terminal until February of next year.
His exhibit is one of a variety of exhibitions that are involved in the airport's art program, which showcases local artwork that expresses the identity of San Diego. The five featured photographs, each of which convey a dominant primary color, featured at the commuter terminal highlight Balboa Park, Downtown San Diego, Torrey Pines, Hotel Del Coronado and La Jolla.
"Autumn Sunset." View of the California Tower Carillon Bell at Balboa Park. Featured at the Commuter Terminal.
Sie focuses on post-production photography to create his images. He was a film major and graphic designer when he started taking photos, so he applies those styles to his photography using different graphic techniques.
By day, Sie is a programming operations coordinator at Time Warner Cable. He was born in Utrecht, Netherlands and grew up in Northern California. He then came down to "America's Finest City" to obtain his telecommunications and film degree at San Diego State University and has no plans to leave his adopted city.
"Hotel Del Coronado." View from the water in Coronado. Featured at the Commuter Terminal.
Sie has been a photographer for 24 years, focusing on landscapes and seascapes. He frequently participates in local art festivals and artwalks, most recently at the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival and the Coronado Artwalk. He said he receives positive feedback and occasionally is asked if he teaches classes on photography.
"Maybe someday, I'd like to do that but right now, I just like giving tips to people and helping them out." Sie has received awards from local contests, such as the 2010 Clairemont Garden Tour Grand Prize, and at the San Diego Fair. But his most notable breakthrough came from the image "Gatorman," which was shortlisted for the 2011 Sony World Photography Awards and was featured in 2011 National Geographic Photo Contest. "Gatorman" was taken at the annual Rough Water Swim at La Jolla Cove. In addition, Sie has temporary and permanent gallery displays in San Diego and Encinitas at restaurants and other local businesses.
"Brother Sun Sister Moon." A crescent moon is a favorite subject of Sie.
Sie said he just made proposals to officials in Clairemont. "It's not for profit. It's just to beautify the area and contribute my photography." From galleries to airports and utility boxes, Sie's artistic gems are adding to the beauty of San Diego. To learn more about Sie, call him at (858) 527-9900, or visit www.leesiephotography.com.

How do you feel about being able to exhibit your work at the airport?
I was elated! When I first saw that it was going to be at the commuter terminal, I was thinking that's one of the best options because it's not as busy as the other terminals where people just tend to go by the artwork. People are going to be able to look at it and see and observe it more because it's less of a high-pace area.
But when I was there and saw how professionally done it was, I was amazed. It was like a museum gallery. I was floored when I saw the results. They even had the title and my name up there. It was definitely something I can't even describe—the feeling of seeing my work displayed like that.
Can you describe your process when you take a photo?
For all of my photography, I use tripods. Usually, the photographer will be out there at the right moment at the right time. Sometimes that doesn't always happen, so what I try and do is I've developed a newer technique. I try and grab several of the elements all at once.
For instance, on some of my images, I'll take a time lapse of several images. Some of them, two images at a half hour apart and I'll combine them together. So, like a sunset will be in one shot and I'll take a shot again when there's either birds flying by or the moon is now in the shot. And I'll take that shot and I'll merge them together using Photoshop to get both or all the elements in the image together in one.
I do a technique called blending and masking in Photoshop to combine those elements. I also do saturation increasing and make the vibrance increase also. I try and find the dominant colors and give those emphasis to make them stand out.
Do you have any favorite spots to take your photographs?
I started liking the area around Sunset Cliffs. As you walk down the beach to the very end, it's very desolate. A lot of places have really low, negative tides and are only accessible certain times of the day. People are always asking me where photos are taken. Some places are usually underwater—at these really low, negative tides, that's when I like to come out.
It's rare—it's only certain times of the day that that happens. Sometimes because it shifts every six hours, you can only access them in the day on certain days. I keep an eye on the tides a lot. When it's a negative tide, I try and get out there and see what I find. There's always something new out there.
How did you choose which works were displayed?
They wanted something that was geared toward the iconic spots of San Diego but with a different perspective. I picked ten scenes of different iconic locations, like Balboa Park, La Jolla and different places that were kinda well known, but from a different angle.
My emphasis was on color, so each scene had a primary color that was a dominant feature for the image. We narrowed it down for the wall space. We picked five images, which is really difficult because they were all ones that were my favorite, so we had to figure out which ones best represented the theme.
How do you choose which places to take your photographs?
I'm always looking on Google Maps to trying to find new places. I started off in La Jolla and that's, of course, where all photographers like to go. I try and find something different, so I've been searching new places to go and different areas.
I don't like to go to the cliché spots that are popular with photographers. I try to make my spots a little different that doesn't show the typical scene that you would see regularly.
Is photography your main profession?
I don't like to say I'm a professional photographer because then, people always want me to do their weddings or portrait shots, which I don't like to do. So I just consider myself an artist. It started off as hobby, part-time.
Now, it's slowly taking more and more of my time, so I'm going more full-time doing this. I still have another full-time job that I do.
What kind of message do you want convey to anyone who comes across your photos?
It's almost like, when I go out to the beach and you like looking at the grounds, the tide pools and all the final details, I like to combine everything all together that I see out there. From small details up close to the colors and the sky in the background. And nature and birds and all the elements of nature—I'd like to combine as much as I can into one shot.
Sometimes, it can look like a simple scene but it can get pretty complex with all the details and elements I get in the shot. I'd like to create more than just the average scene of a nice, beautiful sunset. I like to include something else in there to make it just a little different [and] more interesting. I like to also point out the sun and the moon as a big theme, big icon that I'd like to include in my shots. Whenever there's a crescent moon out, I'd like to photograph it and incorporate it into the shot that day. That's a running theme throughout my photography.

These Rockers Have Made a Shit Ton of Money this Year
Posted by RiffYou On July 13, 2016 0 Comment
Sure, the music business isn't financially viable for all musicians, but the ones who made the Forbes top 100 celebrity rich list are certainly not feeling any pain. In all likelihood, if they ever did feel any kind of pain, they sure as hell have enough money to rid themselves of it.
Between June 2015 and June 2016, AC/DC made the most money when it came to rock n' rollers, pulling in an impressive $67.5 million – that's good for number 17 on the list. Just behind them were The Rolling Stones in the 18th spot with earnings of $66.5 million.
Other larger-than-life artists like Bruce Springsteen and Paul McCartney also made this list. The Boss came in 24th with $60.5 million, while Mac finished 25th with $56.5 million dollars lining his trouser pockets.
U2 made the top 100, of course, earning $55 million, while another ambitious touring band, Muse, captured $49 million. Foo Fighters may have toured with a singer whose leg was busted up, but that didn't stop the band from collecting $48.5 million for their troubles – and coming in at #45 on the list.
In case you were wondering, Taylor Swift was the top earning celebrity. Sigh…

As a branding and design agency, we look at both the interior and exterior of a brand to make sure that compelling brand strategy is met with equally compelling branding excellence — from building a stellar brand promise with the potential for strong emotional connections to designing and executing logos and brand identity standards to creating sales materials, advertising, packaging and point-of-sale displays. All branding elements need to work together in to reinforce your competitive edge, reduce your risk and grow your business.
A great brand needs a coherent personality. A cookie-cutter approach will fail to leave a memorable impression.
Companies hoping to engage their customers in digital channels should adopt the Emotional Experience Design (EED). A key principle of the framework asserts that firms need to develop a coherent brand personality by matching visual design styles across channels, building digital interactions that sync with brand attributes and adopting a human tone. In other words, building a total brand experience in all channels and customer touchpoints and creating a memorable identity that is compelling and emotionally engaging.
Great package design is both fascinating and functional. It embodies the virtues of your brand and reinforces its benefits so that it is your product, not your competitor's product, that finds its way into the hands of the customer. Your product packaging should reinforce the brand visually and maintain the brand's voice and authenticity. Great package design must be clear, simple, honest, impactful and, of course, practical.
Good things come in many-sized packages. Food, beverage, ice cream, wine, cosmetics; no matter the industry, a handsome package is a long-term investment into selling your product and getting where you want to go. Packaging design also happens to be one of our favorite things to do.

Q: Proving a ring isomorphism Let $z$ be a complex number so that $z = a + bi$ for some $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$. Recall that the complex conjugate $\bar z$ of $z$ is defined as $a - bi$. Let $\alpha : \mathbb{C} -> \mathbb{C}$ be the complex conjugation map taking $z$ to $\bar z$ for all $z \in \mathbb{C}$. Prove that $\alpha$ is a ring isomorphism.
Since I want to show that $\alpha$ is a ring isomorphism. I need to show that $\alpha$ is a bijective ring homomorphism.
To first show $\alpha$ is a ring homomorphism, I need to show that if I pick two elements in $\alpha$ and show that multiplication and addition is respected.
pf. Suppose $f, g \in \alpha$. So $f$ = $(a + bi)$ and $g$ = $(c + di)$. Hence, $fg = ac - bd + (ad + bc)i$. Then, $f + g = (a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c) + (b + d)i$.
To show that this is a ring isomorphism, I need to show one-to-oneness and onto. I know to check one-to-one I need to show that if I pick two random elements, a, b I need to show $f(a) = f(b)$. I am unsure how to show this with my mapping $\alpha : \mathbb{C} -> \mathbb{C}$. Likewise, I am unsure how to show that every output has one distinct input (onto) with my mapping $\alpha : \mathbb{C} -> \mathbb{C}$.
Am I on the right track, or am I missing something?
Any feedback would be appreciated!

A: You are on the right track!
Injective: if $\alpha(a+bi)=\alpha(c+di)$ then $a-bi=c-di$, which implies $a=c$ and $b=d$.
Surjective: if $a+bi\in \mathbf{C}$, then $\alpha(\underbrace{a-bi}_{\in\mathbf{C}})=a+bi$.

TV Review: 24: Live Another Day – Episode 6: Day 9 4:00PM-5:00PM
By Chaz Lipp
24: Live Another Day reaches its halfway point with possibly the strongest episode this season. The reward was a modest boost in the ratings after several weeks of decline. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have to say yet again that this is prime 24. Last month in Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield eviscerated the show upon its return, gleefully carving up the premiere episode while writing off the previous eight-season run as irrelevant in the Obama era. 24, Sheffield says, "summed up bad old days of the War on Terror… Jack Bauer was always a Gitmo goon at heart."
I don't even want to get into current events and the recent law-breaking "terrorists for traitor" trade initiated by President Obama. I think it's always been ill-advised to take 24 too seriously. It's a popcorn thriller, not a metaphorical or allegorical commentary on the current state of U.S. politics and foreign affairs. But despite the snarky ramblings of Sheffield (to say nothing of the generally hard left (verging on radical) politics frequently exhibited throughout Rolling Stone), not everyone in the U.S. (or the world, for that matter) is jumping for joy about the current administration. Quite a few folks feel we need the escapism offered by 24 now more than ever, particularly the hawkish idealism of Jack Bauer.
At any rate, episode six hit the ground running and didn't stop for the entire hour. President Heller (William Devane), after last week's episode-ending drone strike against CIA operatives who were attempting to apprehend terrorist mastermind Margot Al-Harazi (Michelle Fairley), is firmly in Jack's (Kiefer Sutherland) corner once again. In one particularly effective, fist-pumping, "hell yeah!" moment, Heller authorizes Jack's return to the field, with order that he be given carte blanche. Jack, attempting to reach a notorious Al-Harazi-connected arms dealer with whom he's been working, insists that he not be tracked (the Brits don't quite get the message). He also needs Kate Morgan (Yvonne Strahovski) as his partner, the headstrong CIA op who has stepped into a kind of "female Jack" role this season. Given the subsequent drugging and torture she endures, one has to wonder how she feels about having agreed to assist Jack.
Margot, having offed her daughter Simone's (Emily Berrington) two-faced husband Naveed last episode, now sends Simone to "deal" with Naveed's sister and niece. Simone, it turns out, is in over her head. While she successfully silence's her sister-in-law, the niece escapes as a loose-end – certain to cause problems for Margot and company later on. Simone has troubles of her own, having been struck down by a bus while pursuing her niece (the coming week's episode teaser clues us in that bus-strike was not fatal, at least not immediately). Not much for Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) to do this hour, which I hoped would mean she'd find time to wipe off her smokey-eye makeup (it didn't happen, but there's still six hours left).
Audrey's (Kim Raver) husband – and Heller's Chief of Staff – Mark (Tate Donovan) forged a document early on that promised Jack would be delivered to the Russians. That finally came back into play this week when Mark received a call from a Russian official demanding to know when they could expect Bauer. With Heller now supporting Jack fully (something Mark never expected), Mark clearly regrets having signed the document. His weak improv with the Russian sparks suspicion that will no doubt put Mark in even hotter water in weeks to come.
And I haven't even mentioned what was the biggest reveal of episode six (although this article has been rife with spoilers, the next one is a biggie), that head of the CIA London branch Steve Navarro (Benjamin Bratt) is, in fact, a bad guy. He was instrumental in having Kate's deceased husband convicted as a traitor. Finally Navarro, who has been a non-entity thus far, will significantly factor into the arc. I guess it seems obvious in retrospect, given that a "name" actor was playing a seemingly useless – almost clueless, even – character. I hadn't really thought about him that, so I didn't even see the twist coming.

Hi Makers! Christi here and I'm honored to be an Our Maker Life HTWI maker! One of my favorite pieces to date is my Virginia Cowl. I love the piece as it's made with comfort and flexibility in the forefront of my mind to mix-n-match with our everyday journeys, no matter how big or small.
If you're like me, I often times want a dressy casual outfit for the office that still has a modern and simple elegance, but with a rustic flare. To accomplish this look, grab yourself a trendy yet practical dress (snazz it up a little with a dress that has a fun print like stripes or polka dots), a cozy cardigan, leggings, some tall boots and lastly, The Virginia Cowl for that defined rustic edge. I'm a sucker for all kinds of jewelry, so don't forget to add some extra flare with your favorite rings and bracelets!
Love the rustic look, but want to slightly dress it up and keep it a little more casual? Gotcha' covered! Keep those skinny jeans handy, pair it with a cozy handmade crochet piece like The Virginia cowl in Mustard (because we all love mustard, right?!) Snag a breezy solid colored top, the ever trendy jean jacket we all own, a cute pair of boots and you are all set for a snazzy night out, thrifting across town or grabbing a latte at your favorite shop.
Which look would you choose to wear with Christi's Virginia Cowl, look 1, 2, 3, or all?
Spread the love and share your #ourmakerlife HTWI looks with us, we'd love to see!
Christi is the maker face behind Walters & WildWood. An adventure-seeking enthusiast who loves to craft and create, Christi draws her biggest inspirations from the great outdoors. After obtaining her BA of Art degree in Sculpture from Memphis College of Art in 2012, she decided she needed a more economical outlet for creating and crafting at home and picked up the hooks. It was instant love. After several years of practice and ever-growing stacks of cozy wearables needing homes, she opened up her Etsy shop in the fall of 2016 and continues to seek out and explore new paths of creativity to share with others.


Custom Printed Wine Bottle Carrier Gift Bags with Clear Window.
If you have a wine store, winery, tasting room or any such shop, you should consider giving your customers that little extra to keep them happy. There are a number of problems all wine purchasers face. First of all, many people buy wine to give as a gift to someone else. Unfortunately, a bottle of wine on its own simply doesn't look very good. This issue can easily be resolved by offering a really nice wine bag to carry the bottle in.
The wine bag solves a number of other problems as well. Firstly, it makes it a lot safer to carry a bottle from your store to the customer's car. Secondly, it is much better for the environment than bagging, or particularly double bagging, a bottle of wine. As such, by providing your customers with a wine bottle carrier bag, you resolved many issues at the same time.
Moreover, there are two other amazing benefits to our custom-printed wine bottle carrier bags with clear window. The first is that the clear window allows for easy display of the bottle contained within the bag, which is something people who buy expensive bottles of wine will really appreciate. The second is that you are able to print your store's name and logo on the bag itself. As such, it is a form of marketing for you. Wherever the bag goes, your store goes as well. Since it can be used again and again, it is likely that the exposure your store will be widespread.

Dennis Green dies at age 67
Dennis Green, who coached the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals over 13 NFL seasons, died Friday morning at the age of 67.
Family friend and former agent Ray Anderson confirmed the death to ESPN's Adam Schefter after speaking with Green's wife. Anderson said Green died after a cardiac arrest.
Green's Vikings made eight playoff appearances in 10 seasons, reaching the NFC Championship Game in 1998 and 2000. He led the Vikings to a 15-1 regular season in 1998.
Robert Smith, a Fox college football analyst and former Vikings running back, posted his grief over Green's death on Twitter.
Green's Cardinals tenure might be best remembered for his "They are who they thought they were" rant after Arizona blew a 20-0 halftime lead to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in 2006.
Sportswriter Larry Fitzgerald Sr., the father of Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he spoke with Green on Thursday.
"Denny was my guy," Fitzgerald said. "He gave me the opportunity to host and produce his radio show eight years ago."
Green also served as a head coach of Northwestern and Stanford at the collegiate level.

Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "While the premise of blurring the lines between traditional roles of good and bad is interesting, the film is hardly well developed". A critic from The Indian Express wrote that "There are no humour elements, memorable moments or engaging factors in Kallan D'Souza other than the curiosity to know whether Asha and her child get a relief from the hands of Manoj". On the contrary, a critic from Manorama Online wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is definitely an engaging watch". A critic from OTT Play wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is a comedy that lacks any real humour and gets lost in what they really wanted to do, with the two subplots". A critic from Behindwoods wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is a silent entertainer, wherein viewers will get their dose of entertainment without being subjected to mass-y dialogues or over-the-top dialogues".

Has Uganda successfully dealt with its Ebola endemic or should the country still be worried?

Family members test positive for Ebola in Kampala, cases rise to 14
Uganda just discharged its last Ebola patient.
The past few months have seen the infection of 142 people in Uganda.
Health officials in the country have decided to use 21 days to monitor the situation, however, the WHO recommends 42.
The recent Ebola outbreak in Uganda which infected over 100 people, created quite the scare.

Fortunately, amidst the tragedy that plagued the Mubende and Kassanda districts of Uganda, the Ebola outbreak has seemingly been contained.
A recent report from a senior health official on Friday, confirmed that the last known Ebola patient has been discharged from the hospital.
"Happy to announce that we discharged the last Ebola patient ... God has seen us through this epidemic," Diana Atwine, a top official at the health ministry, wrote on Twitter.
She continued, reaffirming that health officials would continue to monitor those that came in contact with the infected patients in the coming weeks.
The past few months have been a roller coaster ride for the people of Uganda, particularly those who reside in the Mubende and Kassanda districts, a sort of ground zero for the outbreak of the virus.
In the early stages of discovering the virus, Ugandan officials seemed partially dismissive of the virus's immediate threat. However, the Ebola strain found its way to the capital city of Kampala, forcing Ugandan authorities to be more attentive to the brewing health crisis. Read the story here.
During the debacle, Uganda became a country of interest as several nations globally began to implement travel restrictions for those coming in from the East African country.
Following a growing panic in the region, the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni placed a lock-down on several districts, and prohibited all public gatherings. Institutions like churches and schools were mandated to seize every and all activities, and a curfew followed suit.
It would seem that the protocols put in place have yielded tremendous results as 142 patients have become 0 in a matter of weeks.
The World Health Organization has warned that a minimum of 42 days, twice the maximum incubation period, is required to fully assess Ebola status of the affected regions. Uganda has, however, said that it will use a period of 21 days to assess the situation.
Diana Atwine noted that medics would continue to monitor people who had come into contact with infected patients until they had been clear for 21 days. She did not say when the last new case was confirmed.

Born in Tuscany in 1304, Italian poet Francesco Petrarca is widely considered one of the fathers of the modern Italian language. Though his writings inspired the humanist movement and subsequently the Renaissance, Petrarch remains misunderstood. He was a man of contradictions—a Roman pagan devotee and a devout Christian, a lover of friendship and sociability, yet intensely private.
In this biography, Christopher S. Celenza revisits Petrarch's life and work for the first time in decades, considering how the scholar's reputation and identity have changed since his death in 1374. He brings to light Petrarch's unrequited love for his poetic muse, the anti-institutional attitude he developed as he sought a path to modernity by looking backward to antiquity, and his endless focus on himself. Drawing on both Petrarch's Italian and Latin writings, this is a revealing portrait of a figure of paradoxes: a man of mystique, historical importance, and endless fascination. It is the only book on Petrarch suitable for students, general readers, and scholars alike.

The book's main strength is its literary sensitivity; Celenza finds echoes of Petrarch's life in a far wider array of his writings than marquee sonnets—his various treatises, essays, and Latin verse all receive refreshingly intelligent integration into the broader narrative. . . . The book's most memorable Petrarch is also its best achievement: the man himself, querulous, self-doubting, eager for fame but distrustful of it. That Petrarch very much does speak to our own age, and in these pages by Celenza, he finally gets a life of his own."
Times Higher Education
"[Petrarch] himself turned again and again in his writings to the flaws of humanity. Celenza exposes the Italian writer's flaws throughout his book, while simultaneously eliciting pity and respect. If Petrarch's a 'misunderstood' man, then this book makes us want to understand him, contradictions and all."
William J. Kennedy, Cornell University | Renaissance and Reformation
"The entire book shines with Celenza's close attention to historical and philological detail, his superb textual and contextual analyses, and his deep understanding of how much Petrarch's legacy contributed to European cultural life. This brief review can barely suggest the subtlety with which the author interweaves such familiar texts as the poet's account of climbing Mount Ventoux with his evolving idea of Italy, and such ongoing endeavors as the poet's incursions into Italian verse with his efforts to secure a political future for Italy. Though designed for and accessible to a wide readership, the book will delight Petrarchan specialists with up-to-date nuggets of scholarly information, smart insights into cultural contexts, and powerful reinterpretations of landmark texts."
Bernhard Huss | Germanisch-Romanische Monatsschrift
"[A] well-informed yet highly readable and elegant presentation. . . . An impressive publication with which Celenza has set a standard for future research that will not be easy to surpass, when it comes to outlining Petrarch's intellectual profile both from the perspective of his life and work."
Vibeke Roggen, University of Oslo | Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"The book on my table is beautiful, on the inside as well as the outside. And it is not only attractive to look at, it is also well written—a pleasure to read. . . . This is a book that is meant to read from start to finish, rather than as a reference work; reading it is a little like walking through a labyrinth, or solving puzzles (which the present writer at least loves doing). It is stimulating and it gives you new ideas."
Forum for Modern Language Studies
"The Epilogue connects several facets of Petrarch's posthumous reputation, reviewing his identities as a Latinist, classicist, and Tuscan love-poet, and arguing that his complex personality 'speaks to our age more than ever.' For scholars hoping to join that Petrarchan dialogue, Celenza's biography will serve as a vital interlocutor."
"Not least among this book's virtues is the wealth of color illustrations, which include not only portraits of the poet and photographs of important Petrarchan sites, but also copies of manuscripts owned, annotated, or written by Petrarch, as well as later editions of his works. For the uninitiated, these images and their commentary grant special access into Petrarch's own reading and writing habits. Combined with the author's breadth of reference and limpid prose style, they make this book a pleasurable and accessible guide to Petrarch for the twenty-first-century neophyte."
Unn Falkeid, University of Oslo, author of "The Avignon Papacy Contested: An Intellectual History from Dante to Catherine of Siena"
"The striking appeal of Celenza's study is how the scattered worlds of Petrarch are brought together in vigorous unity—the passionate classicist haunted by a yearning for modernity, the Tuscan love poet whose melodious sonnets for Laura would be imitated for centuries, the restless Augustinian pilgrim, and the self-conscious yet enigmatic spider in a network of powerful friends and acquaintances. In his elegant and poetic style, Celenza combines reader-friendliness with scholarly sophistication and depth. This is a timely intellectual biography written by one of today's leading Renaissance scholars."

Therapy payment caps and exception process | Medical billing cpt modifiers and list of medicare modifiers.
The dollar amount of the limitations (caps) on outpatient therapy services is established by statute. The updated amount of the caps is released annually via Recurring Update Notifications and posted on the CMS Website www.cms.gov/TherapyServices, on contractor Websites, and on each beneficiary's Medicare Summary Notice. Medicare contractors shall publish the financial limitation amount in educational articles. It is also available at 1-800-Medicare.
Section 4541(c) of the BBA required application of financial limitations to all outpatient rehabilitation services (except those furnished by or under arrangements with a hospital). In 1999, an annual per beneficiary limit of $1,500 was applied, including all outpatient physical therapy services and speech-language pathology services. A separate limit applied to all occupational therapy services. The limits were based on incurred expenses and included applicable deductible and coinsurance.
The BBA provided that the limits be indexed by the Medicare Economic Index (MEI) each year beginning in 2002.
Since the limitations apply to outpatient services, they do not apply to skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents in a covered Part A stay, including patients occupying swing beds. Rehabilitation services are included within the global Part A per diem payment that the SNF receives under the prospective payment system (PPS) for the covered stay. Also, limitations do not apply to any therapy services covered under prospective payment systems for home health or inpatient hospitals, including critical access hospitals.
The limitation is based on therapy services the Medicare beneficiary receives, not the type of practitioner who provides the service. Physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists, as well as physicians and certain nonphysician practitioners, could render a therapy service.
Since the creation of therapy caps, Congress has enacted several moratoria. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 directed CMS to develop exceptions to therapy caps for calendar year 2006 and the exceptions have been extended periodically. The cap exception for therapy services billed by outpatient hospitals was part of the original legislation and applies as long as caps are in effect. Exceptions to caps based on the medical necessity of the service are in effect only when Congress legislates the exceptions.
Financial limitations on outpatient therapy services, as described above, began for therapy services rendered on or after on January 1, 2006. References and polices relevant to the exceptions process in this chapter apply only when exceptions to therapy caps are in effect. For dates of service before October 1, 2012, limits apply to outpatient Part B therapy services furnished in all settings except outpatient hospitals, including hospital emergency departments. These excluded hospital services are reported on types of bill 12x or 13x, or 85x. Effective for dates of service on or after October 1, 2012, the limits also apply to outpatient Part B therapy services furnished in outpatient hospitals other than CAHs and hospitals in Maryland. During this period, only type of bill 12x claims with a CMS certification number in the CAH range, type of bill 12x and 13x claims with a CMS certification number beginning with the State code for Maryland, and type of bill 85x claims are excluded. Effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2014, the limits also apply to CAHs. Effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2016, the limits also apply to hospitals in Maryland.
Contractors apply the financial limitations to the MPFS amount (or the amount charged if it is smaller) for therapy services for each beneficiary.
As with any Medicare payment, beneficiaries pay the coinsurance (20 percent) and any deductible that may apply. Medicare will pay the remaining 80 percent of the limit after the deductible is met. These amounts will change each calendar year.
Medicare shall apply these financial limitations in order, according to the dates when the claims were received. When limitations apply, the Common Working File (CWF) tracks the limits. Shared system maintainers are not responsible for tracking the dollar amounts of incurred expenses of rehabilitation services for each therapy limit.
In processing claims where Medicare is the secondary payer, the shared system takes the lowest secondary payment amount from MSPPAY and sends this amount on to CWF as the amount applied to therapy limits.
The following policies concerning exceptions to caps due to medical necessity apply only when the exceptions process is in effect. Except for the requirement to use the KX modifier, the guidance in this section concerning medical necessity applies as well to services provided before caps are reached.
Provider and supplier information concerning exceptions is in this chapter and in Pub. 100-02, Chapter 15, section 220.3. Exceptions shall be identified by a modifier on the claim and supported by documentation.
Use of the exception process does not exempt services from manual or other medical review processes as described in Pub. 100-08. Rather, atypical use of the exception process may invite contractor scrutiny, for example, when the KX modifier is applied to all services on claims that are below the therapy caps or when the KX modifier is used for all beneficiaries of a therapy provider. To substantiate the medical necessity of the therapy services, document in the medical record (see Pub. 100-02, chapter 15, sections 220.2, 220.3, and 230).
The KX modifier, described in subsection D., is added to claim lines to indicate that the clinician attests that services at and above the therapy caps are medically necessary and justification is documented in the medical record.
An exception may be made when the patient's condition is justified by documentation indicating that the beneficiary requires continued skilled therapy, i.e., therapy beyond the amount payable under the therapy cap, to achieve their prior functional status or maximum expected functional status within a reasonable amount of time.
No special documentation is submitted to the contractor for exceptions. The clinician is responsible for consulting guidance in the Medicare manuals and in the professional literature to determine if the beneficiary may qualify for the exception because documentation justifies medically necessary services above the caps. The clinician's opinion is not binding on the Medicare contractor who makes the final determination concerning whether the claim is payable.
Documentation justifying the services shall be submitted in response to any Additional Documentation Request (ADR) for claims that are selected for medical review. Follow the documentation requirements in Pub. 100-02, chapter 15, section 220.3. If medical records are requested for review, clinicians may include, at their discretion, a summary that specifically addresses the justification for therapy cap exception.
The interaction of current active conditions and complexities that directly and significantly influence the treatment such that it causes services to exceed caps.
92521, 92522, 92523, 92524, 92597, 92607, 92608, 92610, 92611, 92612, 92614, 92616, 96105, 96125, 97001, 97002, 97003, 97004.
These codes will continue to be reported as outpatient therapy procedures as listed in the Annual Therapy Update for the current year at: http://www.cms.gov/TherapyServices/05_Annual_Therapy_Update.asp#TopOfPage.
They are not diagnostic tests. Definitions of evaluations and documentation are found in Pub. 100-02, chapter 15, sections 220 and 230.
Clinicians may utilize the process for exception for any diagnosis or condition for which they can justify services exceeding the cap. Regardless of the diagnosis or condition, the patient must also meet other requirements for coverage.
Bill the most relevant diagnosis. As always, when billing for therapy services, the diagnosis code that best relates to the reason for the treatment shall be on the claim, unless there is a compelling reason to report another diagnosis code. For example, when a patient with diabetes is being treated with therapy for gait training due to amputation, the preferred diagnosis is abnormality of gait (which characterizes the treatment). Where it is possible in accordance with State and local laws and the contractors' local coverage determinations, avoid using vague or general diagnoses. When a claim includes several types of services, or where the physician/NPP must supply the diagnosis, it may not be possible to use the most relevant therapy diagnosis code in the primary position. In that case, the relevant diagnosis code should, if possible, be on the claim in another position.
Codes representing the medical condition that caused the treatment are used when there is no code representing the treatment. Complicating conditions are preferably used in non-primary positions on the claim and are billed in the primary position only in the rare circumstance that there is no more relevant code.
The condition or complexity that caused treatment to exceed caps must be related to the therapy goals and must either be the condition that is being treated or a complexity that directly and significantly impacts the rate of recovery of the condition being treated such that it is appropriate to exceed the caps. Documentation for an exception should indicate how the complexity (or combination of complexities) directly and significantly affects treatment for a therapy condition.
If the contractor has determined that certain codes do not characterize patients who require medically necessary services, providers/suppliers may not use those codes, but must utilize a billable diagnosis code allowed by their contractor to describe the patient's condition. Contractors shall not apply therapy caps to services based on the patient's condition, but only on the medical necessity of the service for the condition. If a service would be payable before the cap is reached and is still medically necessary after the cap is reached, that service is excepted.
Contact your contractor for interpretation if you are not sure that a service is applicable for exception.
It is very important to recognize that most conditions would not ordinarily result in services exceeding the cap. Use the KX modifier only in cases where the condition of the individual patient is such that services are APPROPRIATELY provided in an episode that exceeds the cap. Routine use of the KX modifier for all patients with these conditions will likely show up on data analysis as aberrant and invite inquiry. Be sure that documentation is sufficiently detailed to support the use of the modifier.
In justifying exceptions for therapy caps, clinicians and contractors should not only consider the medical diagnoses and medical complications that might directly and significantly influence the amount of treatment required. Other variables (such as the availability of a caregiver at home) that affect appropriate treatment shall also be considered. Factors that influence the need for treatment should be supportable by published research, clinical guidelines from professional sources, and/or clinical or common sense. See Pub. 100-02, chapter 15, section 220.3 for information related to documentation of the evaluation, and section 220.2 on medical necessity for some factors that complicate treatment.
NOTE: The patient's lack of access to outpatient hospital therapy services alone, when outpatient hospital therapy services are excluded from the limitation, does not justify excepted services. Residents of skilled nursing facilities prevented by consolidated billing from accessing hospital services, debilitated patients for whom transportation to the hospital is a physical hardship, or lack of therapy services at hospitals in the beneficiary's county may or may not qualify as justification for continued services above the caps. The patient's condition and complexities might justify extended services, but their location does not. For dates of service on or after October 1, 2012, therapy services furnished in an outpatient hospital are not excluded from the limitation.
Qualify for an exception using the automatic process exception.
If this attestation is determined to be inaccurate, the provider/supplier is subject to sanctions resulting from providing inaccurate information on a claim.
When the KX modifier is appended to a therapy HCPCS code, the contractor will override the CWF system reject for services that exceed the caps and pay the claim if it is otherwise payable.
Providers and suppliers shall continue to append correct coding initiative (CCI) HCPCS modifiers under current instructions.
If a claim is submitted without KX modifiers and the cap is exceeded, those services will be denied. In cases where appending the KX modifier would have been appropriate, contractors may reopen and/or adjust the claim, if it is brought to their attention.
Services billed after the cap has been exceeded which are not eligible for exceptions may be billed for the purpose of obtaining a denial using condition code 21.
Services shall accrue annually toward the thresholds beginning with claims with dates of service on and after January 1, 2012. The thresholds shall apply to both services showing the KX modifier and those without the modifier. Contractors shall apply the thresholds to claims exceeding it by suspending the claim for manual review.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 applies annual financial limitations for outpatient therapy services for Medicare Part B. These limitations are also referred to as "therapy caps." The therapy caps are updated each year based on the Medicare economic index.
Providers of outpatient therapy services are required to submit the KX modifier on their therapy claims, when an exception to the cap is requested for medically necessary services. Section 202 of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) extended the therapy cap exceptions process through December 31, 2017. As a reminder, excessive use of the KX modifier including routine use of the modifier prior to reaching the cap limits may indicate abusive billing.
Change request 9865 establishes that outpatient therapy caps for 2017 will be $1980 for physical therapy and speech-language therapy combined, and for occupational therapy.

Anne Redpath
The Doyenne of Post-WWII Scottish Painting
Our December 2021 flagship Scottish Paintings & Sculpture auction featured a fine selection of Still Lifes by Anne Redpath, the doyenne of post-World War Two Scottish painting, led by Still Life - Tulips and Lilies which achieved £75,000*.
Anne Redpath is widely recognised as the doyenne of post-World War Two Scottish painting. She was born in Galashiels and trained concurrently at Edinburgh College of Art and Moray House College of Education. Redpath's exhibiting career began in 1919 when she showed with the Edinburgh Group, before her marriage to the architect James Beattie Michie the following year.
LOT 165 | ANNE REDPATH O.B.E., R.S.A., A.R.A., L.L.D., A.R.W.S., R.O.I., R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1895-1965)
STILL LIFE - TULIPS AND LILIES | Sold for £75,000*
View Lot 165 ⇒
The couple lived in France between 1920 and 1934, where their three sons were born. Redpath later declared 'Young women often come up to me and say 'I'm going to be like you and give up everything for painting' – but that's not how I see it at all. I could never have sacrificed my family to my painting and I don't think anyone else should either. We lived in France...[for] fifteen years and I put everything I had into house and furniture and dresses and good food and people. All that's the same as painting really, and the experience went back into art when I began painting again.'
STILL LIFE WITH POT PLANT | Sold for £9,375*
In 1934 Redpath returned to Scotland with her children and resumed painting in earnest. Her career developed apace during the 1940s. She became renowned for her joyously coloured still-lifes which revealed not only her pleasure in objects and the decoration of her home, but also her technical prowess in the handling of oil paint. A move from Hawick to Edinburgh in 1949 secured her place within the Scottish art world professionally and personally, as she became a popular hostess in her eventual New Town apartment. Regular foreign travel provided stimulating subject matter, resulting not least in interiors and landscapes which were admired in frequent solo and group exhibitions in Scotland, England and beyond.
WHITE CYCLAMEN | Sold for £32,500*
Redpath's achievements were many and varied. For example, she was the first female painter to be elected a full member of the Royal Scottish Academy and was the first Scottish woman to be elected an Associate member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Her dedication to her practice was such that she learnt to paint with her left-hand whilst recovering from a coronary thrombosis. Redpath's death in Edinburgh in 1965 was marked by a memorial exhibition organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain, which toured throughout Scotland.

Use the Onboarding flow to authenticate once and share data between multiple business applications built with SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS.
As of version 2.1, the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS now incorporates the possibility to provide a shared logon experience for multiple applications. In addition, data can be shared between applications using the SDK's KeychainStoreManager.
In this tutorial, you will create two applications. The first app will be used to store data from the secure store, and the second app will retrieve the data stored by the first app. In addition, you will also experience the shared logon mechanism.
Please note the apps created in this tutorial are meant show the basic principles of setting up a shared store between multiple apps. In productive code, you normally should not hard-code the cipher and password in the AppDelegate.swift file, but use a more secure way of handling these. However, for the brevity of the tutorial and easier understanding of what is happening, this choice was made.
Also, if you are working on the trial instance of SAP Cloud Platform, make sure you have a maximum of 3 application definitions defined in SAP Cloud Platform mobile service for development and operations. Since the trial allows a maximum of 5 native mobile applications, you should have a maximum of 3 application definitions defined. If you have 4 or more applications defined, log on to your SAP Cloud Platform mobile service for development and operations cockpit first, and export & delete any unused applications.
After the SDK Assistant has finished, Xcode will launch and open the just generated SharedOne project.
In Xcode, open the SharedOne project settings, and switch to the Capabilities tab. Scroll down to the App Groups capability, and set the switch next to it to On.
let keychainGroupName: String = "group.com.sap.tutorials.demoapp.sharedkeychaingroup"
let uuid:UUID = UUID(uuidString: "ec429dd6-3fd1-4556-b600-bac39ee9f6e7")!
The keychainGroupName variable contains the value specified in the project's App Groups entitlement. Along with the uuid, these are used to support the shared key store between applications.
The KeychainStoreManager is then initialized with the specified keychainGroupName and stored in constant storeManager.
The StoreManagerStep is then initialized with the storeManager as the persistent store manager.
When using a shared store, you don't want an error thrown when a store is created which is already been created by a different app. To bypass this behavior of the step, flag runRestoreIfStoreExists should be set to true.
In order to share the same store ID, the step's storeID is set to a hard-coded uuid value.
Repeat steps 1-3, but now, everywhere it says SharedOne, enter or use SharedTwo instead.
Open the Xcode project for the first app SharedOne, and open AppDelegate.swift file.
This method opens a store with the provided name and cipher for the predefined keychainGroupName, and stores a Data object data (which holds a simple string encoded using UTF-8) with key myKey.
If you now build and run the app SharedOne, after you have logged in and accepted the EULA, the app should run with the Collections view displaying the available OData entities, just like it normally would. However, since method storeData() has been called, an entry with key myKey is now added to the shared store.
Switch to the Xcode project for the second app SharedTwo, and open AppDelegate.swift file.
Similar to the code used in the first app SharedOne, this method opens a store with the provided name and cipher for the predefined keychainGroupName. But in this case, it now loads a Data object data for key myKey (which is then decoded using UTF-8 into constant dataString).
The decoded content is then printed to the console using the logger.
This ensures the info logging of method retrieveData() will be printed to the console.
Now close both running apps, and open one of them again. You now notice you don't need to logon to both apps anymore, since the credentials are stored in the shared key store.

SRT Motorsports returning Dodge Viper SRT GTS-Rs to classic livery
Autoweek Staff
SRT MOTORSPORTS
The new-look Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R will be seen at the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen race.
SRT Motorsports will celebrate the Dodge Viper's racing heritage by shedding its skin and returning to the Viper's classic red and white livery at Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen race weekend, June 27-29, at New York's Watkins Glen International circuit.
The SRT Motorsports Viper entries -- the No. 91 and No. 93 Dodge Viper SRT GTS-Rs -- will compete in Viper Red and Race White for the duration of the 2014 IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season. The classic colors match the Dodge Viper entries that took the overall victory in the Rolex 24 At Daytona in 2000 and a GTS class win in the 2000 24 Hours of Le Mans, in addition to American Le Mans Series championships in 1999 and 2000.
"We are honoring the racing history of the Dodge Viper by returning to its classic colors as we are in the midst of celebrating the Dodge brand's 100th anniversary and 100 years of American performance," said Ralph Gilles, president and CEO of SRT Motorsports. "The new livery not only brings back this classic look but also enables us to continue to connect our Viper racing program to its spirited racing heritage."
Along with the new livery, the team will carry a special 100th anniversary logo on both IMSA Tudor Vipers.
The classic-colored Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R will first take to the track on Friday, June 27, for the initial practice for the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen race weekend. The third endurance race of the 2014 IMSA TUDOR season, part of the North American Endurance Cup (NAEC), will take place at Watkins Glen International on Sunday, June 29, starting at 11:15 a.m. EDT.

Marine Killed, 3 Others Hospitalized in 4-Vehicle Crash in Mission Valley
by Chris Jennewein February 22, 2014
An active-duty Marine was killed in a four-vehicle crash Saturday on Interstate 8 in Mission Valley, and three other people were sent to hospitals.
A CHP cruiser. Photo courtesy CHP.
Traffic was tied up for three hours following the crash on westbound Interstate 8 at state Route 163. The crash was reported shortly before 5 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The serviceman, who was 20, was declared dead at 5:19 a.m., according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. His name was not immediately released.
Three people were taken to hospitals following the crash — two to Rady Children's Hospital and one to Scripps Mercy Hospital, a San Diego Fire-Rescue dispatcher said.
The westbound lanes were closed at Texas Street and motorists were diverted off the freeway, according to the CHP. A SigAlert was issued shortly after 6:30 a.m., but CHP officials said around 8 a.m. that all lanes had been reopened.

Salvadorans to Celebrate 30 Years of the Peace Accords Signing
On Sunday, it will be 30 years since the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) and the El Salvador State signed peace after 12 years of civil war (1980-1992), which left 75,000 dead and over 8,000 citizens disappeared. Below are some key events that marked these three decades.

1980: THE WAR BEGINS
On March 24, 1980, Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero was assassinated by a death squad sniper while celebrating mass.
On October 10, social and political organizations founded the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), which began its first armed offensive in January 1981. From that moment on, the U.S.-backed Salvadoran Army intensified its dirty war against the people in an attempt to contain the advance of the guerrillas.
Besides arising as a consequence of poverty and exclusion, the civil war was the people's response to decades of military dictatorship, which murdered its opponents, social activists, and human rights defenders with impunity.
1989: ARENA TAKES THE PRESIDENCY
In March 1989, businessman Alfredo Cristiani won the Presidency for the period 1989-1994. He was sponsored by the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), a far-right party founded by Roberto D'Aubuisson, who planned the assassination of Monsignor Romero.
From Nov. 11 to Dec. 12, the FMLN launched "Up to the Top", the civil war's largest military offensive. On Nov. 16, the Salvadoran Army assassinates the Spanish Jesuits Ignacio Ellacuria, Segundo Montes, Ignacio Martin-Baro, Amando Lopez, and Juan Ramon Moreno. The Salvadorans Joaquin Lopez, Elba and Celina Ramos were also murdered with them. President Cristiani was involved in planning the massacre.
1990: PEACE NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN
In April in Switzerland, the FMLN and the Salvadoran government sign the "Geneva Agreements", committing themselves to accept the mediation of the United Nations and continue negotiations for peace.
On January 16, 1992, the parties sign the "Chapultepec Agreements" in Mexico, which formally ended the civil war.

1992: POST-WAR SITUATION
Starting in 1992, the FMLN became the first opposition political force in El Salvador. In the 1994 general elections, this organization won 15 mayoralties and 21 seats in Congress.
In 1999, the FMLN competes in the presidential elections for the second time. Although it failed to win, the leftist organization remains a constantly growing political force.
2009: THE FMLN REMOVED THE RIGHT-WING FROM POWER
In 2009, the FMLN candidate, journalist Mauricio Funes, won the presidency of El Salvador, removing ARENA from power for the first time in twenty years. The transfer of power from Arena to the FMLN is the first peaceful transition of government since the Peace Accords.
In 2014, the FMLN assumes the presidency for the second time with the former guerrilla commander Salvador Sanchez Ceren.
2019: BUKELE BREAKS THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM
Businessman Nayib Bukele won the 2019 presidential elections, thus breaking three decades of ARENA and FMLN governments. His administration has been accused of repeated violations of human rights, lack of transparency, and corruption.
