SOLSONA, Ilocos Norte, March 25–Richard Malig, a suspected former police "asset" who was murdered recently, has no virtual peace even in his death.
A few days after his remains were interred in his final resting place, his nemesis apparently refused to stop tormenting him.
This morning, a sepulcher reported to the police that the tomb of Malig was desecrated. A big yawning hole showed his coffin inside the grave.
Investigators however said it was intact and no sign of robbery.
Record shows that Malig was found dead in a grassy place in Brgy. Manalpac here two weeks ago. His almost naked body bore contusions and multiple stab wounds.


Woo Pig Sooie! If it were up to me, the University of Arkansas football team would be called the Cinghiali instead of the Razorbacks. Of course, I'd let them keep their battle cry, mainly because it's got a nice ring to it when yelled in unison by a crowd of 80,000 coeds. Brilliant idea I know, but you tell me, I have a feeling the idea would fly in Arkansas only when pigs do.
Throughout Tuscany, wild boars roam the hills, and even the streets in some small towns, especially in La Maremma, along the coast. During the fall, you can hear the early morning shotgun blasts, and at night you can eat the savage pig with fresh pappardelle and a hearty glass of Brunello di Montalcino. And all will be right with the world.
If you can't swing a trip to Tuscany, then find some American razorback, fresh pasta, and a fine Chianti, and enjoy it at home in front of a football game. And all will be right with the world. Woo Cinghiale Sooie!
For the Marinade: Place the boar into a bowl large enough to hold it, plus 3 cups liquid. Add the red wine and red wine vinegar, the garlic (chopped or crushed), the rosemary and some salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
If using fresh tomatoes, blanche them in boiling water, and then immediately place in cold water. Remove the skins and seeds. Place them in a blender or food mill until puree.
Remove the boar from the marinade and cut into small pieces. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the boar. Cook it over a medium heat for a few minutes until it renders liquid. Remove from heat and place the boar in a colander so that the liquid drips away.
Cook the pappardelle until al dente, drain it and add it to the boar sauce. Heat for a couple of minutes and serve immediately, sprinkled with Parmigiano.

I am a bit of a girl. I admit it, we all know it, it's not news to any of you. And if you want to make me a really sad panda, then tell me there is something wrong with one of my prized possessions.
Now, excluding various items of Kellies undergarments, one of my more prized possessions is my very pretty laptop. Considering I've had it for just over a year, I think I've done very well with it, but whoever owned it before me clearly didn't give a flying fornication about it. However, last week (and again, I'm still writing on the 14th January!) it started acting up.
When plugged in and the light on the front started going, shall we say, a wee bit mental. As if someone was connecting and disconnecting the charger a dozen times a second. Not likely. So, checking over the cable, I discover that, somehow, there's a kink inside the wire itself where it meets the transformer. Great, naff connection, going to have to get a new charger.
Bending the wire into a certain position actually improved the situation, but not perfectly, and every now and then, the screen would dim, letting me know it was switching to Power Saver as there was no electricity going into it.
A few days later, while the laptop was closed and minding its own business, the cat decided to leap OFF the TV straight down onto it. I considered a boot-lobbing moment, but she used her evil cat powers, and ran out before I could follow through with it. Thinking no more of it, I carried on about my day, and when I decided I had ten minutes spare, I popped it open, and noticed the mains power light wasn't on. So I started fiddling, and flexing and adjusting the wire, but to no avail; I could NOT bed the wire into place.
Arsebandits, I thought to myself, the dodgy connection has died properly. As I moved the laptop across my lap, however, I pulled on the wire, and noticed the light came on again. Hold the phone... Why would the jack being moved make a difference. So I wiggled the jack around, and low and behold, the light came on again.
I decided to be brave, and pop the part of the case open that covers the DC-in Jack, and was rather surprised/shocked/stunned/saddened to see two wires were kinda not connected. To anything. At all.
I like to think I kept rather calm. I didn't scream nor shout nor throw a tizzy, but I was a little put out. Not angry just miffed. Clearly the dodgy connection wasn't the only problem I had. I suspect the cat put the finishing touches to the wires in the jack point, but still, what was done was done, and it WAS my fault for leaving it out in the open with animals and kids.
So, I used my faithful friend, Mr Google and within minutes, I discover that this problem of these two wires is actually pretty common for the Acer Aspire 8930. The wires and the power-in point are actually on a hinge for the lid/screen, so every time you open and close it, they move. So constant open-close-open-close coupled with a dodgy connection, coupled with a flying cat... Two unconnected wires.
I read through, and most people in there spoke about how annoying it was, but how easy it was to fix it. As long as you could solder. Now, I should point out that I used to be pretty damn good at soldering stuff in school. The last time I did it, however, I managed to set fire to a vat of Epoxy Resin, and me and another kid, Andrew French, had to go to hospital due to fume inhalation.
I've not done it since then.
I decide that James is prolly my best bet, and talk to him about it, but as I'm asking if he minds doing it, that little voice in my brain tells me all sorts of outlandish things. Mainly, that someone had posted a step by step guide to fixing it, and mentioned how easy it was. He also mention that should you some how completely screw it up, the whole DC Jack point was available on Ebay for like £5.
A few days later, I find myself in possession of a soldering iron. My subconscious made me buy it. Of course, solder, it turns out, is like plutonium. You can only get it if you have clearance, and speak to people that know of getting such things. TWO DAYS it took me to locate some. I wandered the town, I looked online, I wandered town again... Turns out the car repair place 70 yards from my front door sell it.
So I sat down, cleared an area, and watched as Kellie turned her attention to me. I don't know if she was interested, I don't know if she was amusing, or if she was willing me to cause the whole laptop to explode in a ball of fire.
It took me ten minutes. Ten minutes, two burns, a yard of solder and a near-miss at starting a fire, but none the less, it WAS easy!
I am, in fact, a soldering GOD.
The ten minutes was the time it took me to set up, do it and clear up. The burns were from picking up the soldering iron with the wrong part - that's to say, my bare fingers on the red-hot-metal part. The amount of solder used because I kept dropping it. The fire from wiping the soldering iron clean using paper - you know, the thing hot enough to melt metal, wiped with something that is known for catching fire when exposed to heat.
OTHER than that, I did a pretty good job, not dissimilar to the pictures shown on the step-by-step guide. The burns are healing nicely, and the smell of smoke has left. The laptop - most importantly - is working perfectly well once more, I just need to get a new power supply as this one still has the crappy connection in it.
So go me! Two injuries so far this year!

Qui plie et tremble comme un jonc.
Du haut clocher au grand donjon.
Vive alouette, monte au ciel !
Et revenir mon bien-aimé ?
"No," I said, after studying the matter over a little.
I had been looking into this matter. Last year I travelled twenty thousand miles, almost entirely by rail; the year before, I travelled over twenty-five thousand miles, half by sea and half by rail; and the year before that I travelled in the neighborhood of ten thousand miles, exclusively by rail. I suppose if I put in all the little odd journeys here and there, I may say I have travelled sixty thousand miles during the three years I have mentioned. And never an accident.
But I was mistaken. There was never a prize in the lot. I could read of railway accidents every day—the newspaper atmosphere was foggy with them; but somehow they never came my way. I found I had spent a good deal of money in the accident business, and had nothing to show for it. My suspicions were aroused, and I began to hunt around for somebody that had won in this lottery. I found plenty of people who had invested, but not an individual that had ever had an accident or made a cent. I stopped buying accident tickets and went to ciphering. The result was astounding. The Peril Lay not in Travelling, but in staying at home.
I hunted up statistics, and was amazed to find that after all the glaring newspaper headings concerning railroad disasters, less than three hundred people had really lost their lives by those disasters in the preceding twelve months. The Erie road was set down as the most murderous in the list. It had killed forty-six—or twenty-six, I do not exactly remember which, but I know the number was double that of any other road. But the fact straightway suggested itself that the Erie was an immensely long road, and did more business than any other in the country; so the double number of killed ceased to be matter for surprise.
I had figured on considerably less than one-half the length of the Erie road. It was plain that the entire road must transport at least eleven or twelve thousand people every day. There are many short roads running out of Boston that do fully half as much; a great many such roads. There are many roads scattered about the Union that do a prodigious passenger business. Therefore it was fair to presume that an average of 2500 passengers a day for each road in the country would be about correct. There are 846 railway lines in our country, and 846 times 2500 are 2,115,000. So the railways of America move more than two millions of people every day; six hundred and fifty millions of people a year, without counting the Sundays. They do that, too—there is no question about it; though where they get the raw material is clear beyond the jurisdiction of my arithmetic; for I have hunted the census through and through, and I find that there are not that many people in the United States, by a matter of six hundred and ten millions at the very least. They must use some of the same people over again, likely.
San Francisco is one-eighth as populous as New York; there are 60 deaths a week in the former and 500 a week in the latter—if they have luck. That is 3120 deaths a year in San Francisco, and eight times as many in New York—say about 25,000 or 26,000. The health of the two places is the same. So we will let it stand as a fair presumption that this will hold good all over the country, and that consequently 25,000 out of every million of people we have must die every year. That amounts to one-fortieth of our total population. One million of us, then, die annually. Out of this million ten or twelve thousand are stabbed, shot, drowned, hanged, poisoned, or meet a similarly violent death in some other popular way, such as perishing by kerosene lamp and hoop-skirt conflagrations, getting buried in coal-mines, falling off house-tops, breaking through church or lecture-room floors, taking patent medicines, or committing suicide in other forms. The Erie railroad kills from 23 to 46; the other 845 railroads kill an average of one-third of a man each; and the rest of that million, amounting in the aggregate to the appalling figure of nine hundred and eighty-seven thousand six hundred and thirty-one corpses, die naturally in their beds!
You will excuse me from taking any more chances on those beds. The railroads are good enough for me.
And my advice to all people is, Don't stay at home any more than you can help; but when you have got to stay at home a while, buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights. You cannot be too cautious.
The moral of this composition is, that thoughtless people grumble more than is fair about railroad management in the United States. When we consider that every day and night of the year full fourteen thousand railway trains of various kinds, freighted with life and armed with death, go thundering over the land, the marvel is, not that they kill three hundred human beings in a twelvemonth, but that they do not kill three hundred times three hundred!
I may not weep, not weep, and he is dead.
Ah me! ere yet his life's sun stood at noon.
And some mislike the colour of his hair!
What form, what hue, save Love's own, did ye wear?
I may not weep, not weep, for very shame.
Alas, alas, I never touched his hand!
And now my love is dead that loved not me.
No dearer crown on earth is there, I wis.
In tones more dear to me than any song.
Did serve as meat and drink my hungry heart.
By no thought cheered, by no hope comforted.
Me, that had died to save his body pain!
Alas, alas, such idle thoughts are vain!
O cruel, cruel sunlight, get thee gone!
O dear, dim shades of eve, come swiftly on!
Through the long night till dawn I then may weep.
O'er stream and meadow, mound and dale!
Trotting through Deans Yard that afternoon, Prickett Ellis ran straight into Richard Dalloway, or rather, just as they were passing, the covert side glance which each was casting on the other, under his hat, over his shoulder, broadened and burst into recognition; they had not met for twenty years. They had been at school together. And what was Ellis doing? The Bar? Of course, of course—he had followed the case in the papers. But it was impossible to talk here. Wouldn't he drop in that evening. (They lived in the same old place—just round the corner). One or two people were coming. Joynson perhaps. "An awful swell now," said Richard.
"Good—till this evening then," said Richard, and went his way, "jolly glad" (that was quite true) to have met that queer chap, who hadn't changed one bit since he had been at school—just the same knobbly, chubby little boy then, with prejudices sticking out all over him, but uncommonly brilliant—won the Newcastle. Well—off he went.
Prickett Ellis, however, as he turned and looked at Dalloway disappearing, wished now he had not met him or, at least, for he had always liked him personally, hadn't promised to come to this party. Dalloway was married, gave parties; wasn't his sort at all. He would have to dress. However, as the evening drew on, he supposed, as he had said that, and didn't want to be rude, he must go there.
But what an appalling entertainment! There was Joynson; they had nothing to say to each other. He had been a pompous little boy; he had grown rather more self–important—that was all; there wasn't a single other soul in the room that Prickett Ellis knew. Not one. So, as he could not go at once, without saying a word to Dalloway, who seemed altogether taken up with his duties, bustling about in a white waistcoat, there he had to stand. It was the sort of thing that made his gorge rise. Think of grown up, responsible men and women doing this every night of their lives! The lines deepened on his blue and red shaven cheeks as he leant against the wall in complete silence, for though he worked like a horse, he kept himself fit by exercise; and he looked hard and fierce, as if his moustaches were dipped in frost. He bristled; he grated. His meagre dress clothes made him look unkempt, insignificant, angular.
Idle, chattering, overdressed, without an idea in their heads, these fine ladies and gentlemen went on talking and laughing; and Prickett Ellis watched them and compared them with the Brunners who, when they won their case against Fenners' Brewery and got two hundred pounds compensation (it was not half what they should have got) went and spent five of it on a clock for him. That was a decent sort of thing to do; that was the sort of thing that moved one, and he glared more severely than ever at these people, overdressed, cynical, prosperous, and compared what he felt now with what he felt at eleven o'clock that morning when old Brunner and Mrs. Brunner, in their best clothes, awfully respectable and clean looking old people, had called in to give him that small token, as the old man put it, standing perfectly upright to make his speech, of gratitude and respect for the very able way in which you conducted our case, and Mrs. Brunner piped up, how it was all due to him they felt. And they deeply appreciated his generosity—because, of course, he hadn't taken a fee.
And as he took the clock and put it on the middle of his mantelpiece, he had felt that he wished nobody to see his face. That was what he worked for—that was his reward; and he looked at the people who were actually before his eyes as if they danced over that scene in his chambers and were exposed by it, and as it faded—the Brunners faded—there remained as if left of that scene, himself, confronting this hostile population, a perfectly plain, unsophisticated man, a man of the people (he straightened himself) very badly dressed, glaring, with not an air or a grace about him, a man who was an ill hand at concealing his feelings, a plain man, an ordinary human being, pitted against the evil, the corruption, the heartlessness of society. But he would not go on staring. Now he put on his spectacles and examined the pictures. He read the titles on a line of books; for the most part poetry. He would have liked well enough to read some of his old favourites again—Shakespeare, Dickens—he wished he ever had time to turn into the National Gallery, but he couldn't—no, one could not. Really one could not—with the world in the state it was in. Not when people all day long wanted your help, fairly clamoured for help. This wasn't an age for luxuries. And he looked at the arm chairs and the paper knives and the well bound books, and shook his head, knowing that he would never have the time, never he was glad to think have the heart, to afford himself such luxuries. The people here would be shocked if they knew what he paid for his tobacco; how he had borrowed his clothes. His one and only extravagance was his little yacht on the Norfolk Broads. And that he did allow himself, He did like once a year to get right away from everybody and lie on his back in a field. He thought how shocked they would bethese fine folk—if they realized the amount of pleasure he got from what he was. old fashioned enough to call the love of nature; trees and fields he had known ever since he was a boy.
These fine people would be shocked. Indeed, standing there, putting his spectacles away in his pocket, he felt himself grow more and more shocking every instant. And it was a very disagreeable feeling. He did not feel this—that he loved humanity, that he paid only fivepence an ounce for tobacco and loved nature—naturally and quietly. Each of these pleasures had been turned into a protest. He felt that these people whom he despised made him stand and deliver and justify himself. "I am an ordinary man," he kept saying. And what he said next he was really ashamed of saying, but he said it. "I have done more for my kind in one day than the rest of you in all your lives." Indeed, he could not help himself; he kept recalling scene after scene, like that when the Brunners gave him the clockhe kept reminding himself of the nice things people had said of his humanity, of his generosity, how he had helped them. He kept seeing himself as the wise and tolerant servant of humanity. And he wished he could repeat his praises aloud. It was unpleasant that the sense of his goodness should boil within him. It was still more unpleasant that he could tell no one what people had said about him. Thank the Lord, he kept saying, I shall be back at work to–morrow; and yet he was no longer satisfied simply to slip through the door and go home. He must stay, he must stay until he had justified himself. But how could he? In all that room full of people, he did not know a soul to speak to.
At last Richard Dalloway came up.
"I want to introduce Miss O'Keefe," he said. Miss O'Keefe looked him full in the eyes. She was a rather arrogant, abrupt mannered woman in the thirties.
"Have you seen the Tempest?" then (for he had not seen the Tempest), had he read some book? Again no, and then, putting her ice down, did he never read poetry?
And Prickett Ellis feeling something rise within him which would decapitate this young woman, make a victim of her, massacre her, made her sit down there, where they would not be interrupted, on two chairs, in the empty garden, for everyone was upstairs, only you could hear a buzz and a hum and a chatter and a jingle, like the mad accompaniment of some phantom orchestra to a cat or two slinking across the grass, and the wavering of leaves, and the yellow and red fruit like Chinese lanterns wobbling this way and that—the talk seemed like a frantic skeleton dance music set to something very real, and full of suffering.
"How beautiful!" said Miss O'Keefe.
Oh, it was beautiful, this little patch of grass, with the towers of Westminster massed round it black, high in the air, after the drawing–room; it was silent, after that noise. After all, they had that—the tired woman, the children.
Prickett Ellis lit a pipe. That would shock her; he filled it with shag tobacco—fivepence halfpenny an ounce. He thought how he would lie in his boat smoking, he could see himself, alone, at night, smoking under the stars. For always to–night he kept thinking how he would look if these people here were to see him. He said to Miss O'Keefe, striking a match on the sole of his boot, that he couldn't see anything particularly beautiful out here.
"Perhaps," said Miss O'Keefe, "you don't care for beauty." (He had told her that he had not seen the Tempest; that he had not read a book; he looked ill–kempt, all moustache, chin, and silver watch chain.) She thought nobody need pay a penny for this; the Museums are free and the National Gallery; and the country. Of course she knew the objections—the washing, cooking, children; but the root of things, what they were all afraid of saying, was that happiness is dirt cheap. You can have it for nothing. Beauty.
Then Prickett Ellis let her have it—this pale, abrupt, arrogant woman. He told her, puffing his shag tobacco, what he had done that day. Up at six; interviews; smelling a drain in a filthy slum; then to court.
Here he hesitated, wishing to tell her something of his own doings. Suppressing that, he was all the more caustic. He said it made him sick to hear well fed, well dressed women (she twitched her lips, for she was thin, and her dress not up to standard) talk of beauty.
"Beauty!" he said. He was afraid he did not understand beauty apart from human beings.
So they glared into the empty garden where the lights were swaying, and one cat hesitating in the middle, its paw lifted.
Beauty apart from human beings? What did he mean by that? she demanded suddenly.
Well this: getting more and more wrought up, he told her the story of the Brunners and the clock, not concealing his pride in it. That was beautiful, he said.
She had no words to specify the horror his story roused in her. First his conceit; then his indecency in talking about human feelings; it was a blasphemy; no one in the whole world ought to tell a story to prove that they had loved their kind. Yet as he told it—how the old man had stood up and made his speech—tears came into her eyes; ah, if any one had ever said that to her! but then again, she felt how it was just this that condemned humanity for ever; never would they reach beyond affecting scenes with clocks; Brunners making speeches to Prickett Ellises, and the Prickett Ellises would always say how they had loved their kind; they would always be lazy, compromising, and afraid of beauty. Hence sprang revolutions; from laziness and fear and this love of affecting scenes. Still this man got pleasure from his Brunners; and she was condemned to suffer for ever and ever from her poor poor women shut out from squares. So they sat silent. Both were very unhappy. For Prickett Ellis was not in the least solaced by what he had said; instead of picking her thorn out he had rubbed it in; his happiness of the morning had been ruined. Miss O'Keefe was muddled and annoyed; she was muddy instead of clear.
Hating each other, hating the whole houseful of people who had given them this painful, this disillusioning evening, these two lovers of their kind got up, and without a word, parted for ever.
Dat schrijft de Moderne encyclopedie der wereldliteratuur en de redacteur bedoelt ermee te zeggen dat Aretino een bastaard was, net als Leonardo da Vinci en de Borgia's. Hoe modern deze encyclopedie verder ook wil zijn, de schrijver van het lemma 'Aretino' meent niettemin dat het werk van de Italiaan 'op zedelijk gebied ernstig voorbehoud verdient' (inclusief het Prose Sacrai), en dat is waarschijnlijk de reden waarom Aretino's bekendste en beste werk, de dialogen onder de titel Ragionamenti (1536), niet besproken wordt en dat de lezer er niet eens de titel terug zal vinden van zijn meest geruchtmakende produktie. Over het laatste alleen dit: 'Zijn lichtzinnig gedrag en de obscene sonnetten, die hij bij de tekeningen van Giulio Romano voegde, dwongen hem (uit Rome) te vluchten.' Bedoeld worden de Sonetti Lussuriosi, de Wulpse sonnetten zoals Ernst van Altena vertaalde voor de eerste Nederlandstalige druk in 1981, zestien staartsonnetten, geschreven bij evenveel tekeningen van seksuele houdingen door Giulio Romano, Raffaèls leerling die door Shakespeare (in Winter's Tale) the rare Italian genoemd werd; de tekeningen die door Marcantonio Raimondi gegraveerd werden. Sonnetten en prenten vormen samen het eerste expliciet seksuele – en alleen daarom obsceen genoemde – voorlichtingsboek uit de moderne Europese zedengeschiedenis.
Aretino moet door schoenmaker Luca in 1491 verwekt zijn, want hij werd op 19 april 1492 in Arezzo geboren. Zijn levenswandel, die het midden hield tussen bourgondisch en decadent, heeft hem doen kennen als een van de markantste figuren uit de Italiaanse renaissance. En zoals hij leefde stierf hij, zegt men: hij kreeg een welhaast onstuitbare lachbui toen iemand hem tijdens een banket een schandaleus verhaal over zijn – Aretino's – zuster vertelde, rolde van de lach uit zijn zetel en brak zijn nek. Het is 1557 en de plaats heet Venetië. 'De Gesel der Prinsen', zoals Ariosto hem noemde, was dood, maar zijn reputatie heeft de val groots overleefd, mede dankzij de zestien beroemdste obscene sonnetten aller tijden.
Aretino's moeder was Tita, en Tita was prostituée en model voor kunstenaars. Als Aretino dertien jaar oud is berooft hij haar en vlucht hij naar Perugia waar hij leert boekbinden en schilderen. 'Ik ging niet langer school,' schrijft hij in een van zijn brieven, 'dan om er een kruisteken te leren maken.' Zes jaar later besluit hij naar Rome te vertrekken om aldaar zijn fortuin te zoeken. Ondanks goede connecties met de bankier Agostino Chigi en kardinaal Di San Giovanni lukt het hem niet tot in de hoogste kringen door te dringen: het hof van de paus, Julius II. Hij verlaat de stad, zwerft door Lombardi je en treedt tijdelijk toe tot de orde der kapucijnen. Pas als in 1513 Leo X tot paus is gekozen en het Vaticaan in een cultureel centrum veranderd wordt, keert hij terug naar de Eeuwige Stad. Hij wordt Leo's kamenier en de paus blijkt zeer ontvankelijk voor zijn talenten als satiricus en humorist en als schrijver van de zo genaamde paskwillen en vleiende sonnetten. Aretino's reputatie groeit voorbeeldig en het moet gezegd worden dat hij niets heeft nagelaten om zijn faam te bevorderen. Portretten van tijdgenoten en latere biografische stukken maken uitbundig gebruik van typeringen als 'vleier, intrigant, afperser, roddelaar, chanteur en hielenlikker', en het lijkt waar dat hij dat alles inderdaad geweest is teneinde zijn macht, aanzien en invloed te vergroten en daarmee zijn welstand. Wat zulke kwalificaties zo aardig maakt is de wetenschap dat hij zich deze haat enkel en alleen met de pen en zijn tong wist te verwerven. Wie Aretino aan zijn zijde vond kon verzekerd zijn van zeer effectieve public relations; zijn tegenstanders vreesden zijn intriges en roddel-geschriften die vaak anoniem werden verspreid maar waarvan iedere sociaal-cultureel bewuste Romein de herkomst kende.
In 1521 sterft Leo X, zijn voornaamste beschermheer, en Aretino lijkt, met vele anderen, de situatie verkeerd te hebben ingeschat. In Rome rekent men op de verkiezing tot paus van Giulio de' Medici en Aretino heeft zich reeds voor Leo's dood verzekerd van een eervolle plaats binnen diens vriendenkring. Zeven dukaten tegen honderd worden er in de stad ingezet op de verkiezing van Giulio maar ondanks deze goklustige opiniepeilingen en ondanks de paskwillen die Aretino bijna dagelijks tegen de tegenstanders schrijft, wordt op 9 januari 1522 onze landgenoot, de kardinaal van Tortosa, de nieuwe Papa. Het interregnum is echter van korte duur: Hadrianus VI bestuurt de moederkerk slechts één jaar en na de verkiezing van Giulio de' Medici tot paus Clemens VII is voor Aretino de weg naar de top opnieuw vrij.
Aretino's eerste gedichten werden in 1512 in Venetië gepubliceerd. Hoezeer hij vanaf die tijd zijn pen uitsluitend benut heeft voor persoonlijke en politieke doeleinden mag blijken uit het gegeven dat volgende publikaties, voornamelijk satirische blijspelen, pas vanaf 1533 plaatsvinden. Tussen 1512 en 1533 publiceerde hij uitsluitend de Sonetti Lussuriosi, voor het overige was hij, zoals Wayland Young hem getypeerd heeft, een gevreesd columnist en geducht politiek commentator. Wanneer de sonnetten geschreven zijn is lang duister gebleven maar vooral dankzij gedetailleerde onderzoekingen aan het eind van de vorige eeuw, onder andere door de uitgever Isidore Liseux, kan nu met zekerheid gesteld worden dat Romano zijn zestien standen in 1524 tekende en liet graveren, en dat Aretino er één jaar later zijn verzen aan toevoegde. Pas in 1527 vond deze gecombineerde inspanning zijn weg naar een breder publiek via deeerste officiële editie, gedrukt te Venetië. '(1) Vasari schrijft over het project het volgende: 'Aangezien sommige van de prenten werden aangetroffen op plaatsen waar men zehet minst zou verwachten, werden ze niet alleen verboden maar werd Marcantonio gearresteerd en in het gevang geworpen.' Een aantal schrijvers neemt aan dat deze censuuraffaire heeft plaatsgevonden naar aanleiding van de druk uit 1527, maar dit lijkt onjuist.
Een en ander impliceert dat het schandaal zich moet hebben afgespeeld naar aanleiding van de eerste, waarschijnlijk voor privéplezier bestemde produkties, die nog zonder Aretino's bijdrage verschenen. Niettemin schrijft Francesco de Sanctis in zijn History of Italian Literature: 'Hij moest uit Rome vluchten vanwege zijn zestien sonnetten, die verlucht werden door obscene tekeningen van Giulio Romano.' Dat had zo in de Moderne encyclopedie gekund, maar of het juist is mag betwijfeld worden, al is het zeker niet onwaarschijnlijk dat Aretino met zijn geschreven bijdrage te ver ging.
De oorzaak van Aretino's plotselinge vertrek uit Rome wordt, denk ik, beter weergegeven door Casimir von Chledowski (Die Menschen der Renaissance). Hij verbindt de vlucht met een vete die gegroeid was tussen Aretino en kardinaal Giberti, die uit woede om Aretino's intriges en anonieme spotschriften in de nacht van 28 juli 1525 een aanslag op de dichter liet plegen waarbij Aretino gewond raakte. Merkwaardig genoeg noemt Aretino in zijn al geciteerde brief deze Giberti ook als de aanstichter van de hetze tegen Romano en Raimondi.
In welke orde van oorzaak en gevolg deze schermutselingen zich ook precies verhouden, het mag duidelijk zijn dat Aretino in Rome gevaarlijke vijanden gemaakt had en dat zijn betrokkenheid bij het standenrepertorium zijn crediet niet bevorderd heeft. Als paus Clemens weigert om zijn zijde te kiezen in het conflict met Giberti verlaat Aretino de stad en nu definitief.
Aretino's verdere levensdagen, voornamelijk in Venetië doorgebracht, zijn hoogst boeiend maar voor het hier te volgen onderwerp in hun details niet van belang. Ik zal volstaan met enige gegevens die duidelijk maken dat zijn vlucht uit Rome hem geenszins benadeeld heeft en dat hij zijn levenslustige doelstellingen in later jaren alleen maar grootser verwezenlijkt heeft.
Na Rome brengt hij een jaar door in het kamp van Giovanni de'Medici, de leider van de bande nere, en leerde hij de voornaamste handlangers van de condottiere kennen.
Als Giovanni in zijn armen gestorven is reist hij naar Venetië waar men hem met open armen ontvangt. Hij woont er in een luxueus palazzo op kosten van zijn rijke vrienden en met het geld van de pensioenen die zijn adellijke en Vaticaanse werkgevers hem hebben toegestaan voor verrichte schrijf- en roddeldiensten. In de jaren 1530 verschijnt het grootste deel van zijn werk in druk, de komedies, de Ragionamenti, maar ook enige heiligenlevens.
In een van zijn brieven meldt hij trots dat men alom munten slaat met zijn afbeelding, dat hij op gevels prijkt en dat er kristallen vazen zijn die 'Aretino's' genoemd worden en vrouwen, zijn ex-kamermeisjes, die erop staan met dezelfde naam te worden aangeduid.
Onder zijn vrienden vinden we in de loop der jaren Titiaan, die hem 'de condottiere van de literatuur' noemde en zijn portret schilderde, Tintoretto en Vasari, literatoren als Ariosto, Tasso en Varchi, de historicus Giovio. Frans I, de piraat Barbarossa en de sultan Suleiman zonden hem geschenken, Julius III benoemde hem tot ridder in de orde van Sint Petrus. Hij was erelid van de academies van Florence, Siena en Padua.
Zowel officiële boekverkopers als particulieren bieden hier hun boeken aan. En dat maakt de Tilburgse boekenmarkt zo speciaal. Boeken rond het Paleis wordt dit jaar voor de dertiende keer georganiseerd door Stichting Dr PJ Cools en is een kwalitatieve aanvulling op het literaire aanbod in Tilburg en omgeving. De laatste zondag van augustus is tevens koopzondag. U kunt dus ook nog gezellig winkelen in het centrum van Tilburg.
Ted van Lieshout is schrijver van boeken als 'Koekjes!' en 'Hou van mij' (hier won hij in 2010 een Zilveren Griffel mee). De toegang is gratis en het wordt een programma voor jong en oud. Nop Maas is o.a. biograaf van Gerard Reve.
Tijdens de13de editie van deze jaarlijkse boekenmarkt op het Willemsplein en in de straten rondom het stadhuis, vindt traditiegetrouw ook de verkoop van afgeschreven materialen in Bibliotheek Tilburg Centrum plaats. Dit gebeurt tijdens een volledige openstelling van de bibliotheek van 10.00 tot 17.00 uur. Brabantse bibliotheekleden worden getrakteerd op de actie 3 halen = 2 betalen.
De toegang is op alle onderdelen gratis.
I must attend, time's leisure with my moan.

Walter Lang (Memphis, Tennessee, 10 de agosto de 1896 – Palm Springs, California, 7 de febrero de 1972) fue un director de cine estadounidense.

Biografía
Nacido en Memphis, Lang se trasladó a Nueva York donde encontraría un trabajo en la oficina de una productora de cine. Eso hizo que empezaran a nacer los instintos artísticos de Lang, empezando a estudiar los lenguajes de la dirección y trabajando como director asistente. Paralelamente, Lang tuvo ambiciones artísticas como pintor e, incluso, abandonó los Estados Unidos para unirse a los escritores y pintores del barrio de Montparnasse de París. No tuvo éxito y regresó a la industria del cine.

En 1926, Walter Lang debutaría como director con la película muda The Red Kimona. A mediados de la década de 1930, Lang se incorporaría a la 20th Century Fox donde como director, formaría parte de los principales musicales de la Fox en las décadas de 1940 y 1950. Uno de los filmes más famosos de Lang fue la épica El rey y yo por el que sería nominado a los Premios Óscar a la mejor dirección.

Lang murió en 1972 en Palm Springs a los 75 años y fue enterrado en el cementerio Inglewood Park, en California.

Por su contribución a la industria del cine, Walter Lang tiene una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood situada en el 6520 de Hollywood Boulevard.

Unless Elon Musk and Richard Branson get their lunar skates on, most of us won't get to explore space in our lifetimes – though many of the developments made in planetary exploration benefit us here on the ground today. In fact, some of the technology we use on a daily basis, like the CMOS active pixel sensors found in smartphone cameras, are indebted to space research. Even aural thermometers use infrared sensors that were first created by NASA for measuring the temperature given off by stars.
When it comes to health and wearable technology, we're also going to reap the rewards, but it's a two-way street.
At this year's SXSW a handful of companies were summoned to pitch their ideas to the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), which is NASA's venture arm for astronaut health.
Dorit Donoviel, director at TRISH, was in Austin to scout out potential new technologies that could solve the problems of space. It was a pretty open brief, but with a few important stipulations: the technology must be portable, durable, minimally invasive and low-power.
"[Astronauts] are stuck in a tin can for two to three years, going on a deep space exploration mission. They may not have access to all the healthcare we take for granted today, we know they won't," said Donoviel. "We have to design a way to keep these folks healthy for two to three years with very limited resources. Murphy's law will say that the one guy who gets sick is going to be the doctor."
Munich-based startup Cosinuss is all ears. The company, which pitched its idea to NASA at SXSW, makes a hearable called the Cosinuss One for monitoring heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature and oxygen saturation. Its second device, the Cosinuss Degree, will be a continuous in-ear thermometer for children, arriving this summer, while it also has its sights on hearables to detect stress and sleep apnea, as well as one specifically for elderly care. But its tech might also find a place among the stars.
"One important thing is to have a very small device, because everything is about size and weight for astronauts," Cosinuss CEO Johannes Kreuzer tells Wareable. "If they are getting ill, they can put it in – we call it a doctor in your pocket – and it can measure several vital signs."
For astronauts walking on the moon, or even planets beyond, a device like this could offer invaluable insights into the physiological effects on the body. "NASA are interested and they want to test it," says Kreuzer, a few days after the pitch. "There are a lot of things that we've never had to think about, because they were asking about what happens when you have no pressure? Can it explode? A lot of things we weren't thinking about until now."
As we know, when it comes to tracking vital signs, the ear is hard to beat. According to Kreuzer, the Cosinuss One can measure heart rate within 1bpm of accuracy within the 50bpm-180bpm range, while temperature has a plus/minus accuracy of 0.2 degrees celsius. "One big use case is athletes and sportsman who want to monitor the heart rate, and most of the athletes hate the chest strap, which is very good for us," he says. "The wrist bands from Fitbit, Jawbone, Apple and so on, they have a problem with accuracy when you're sweating and moving."
The Cosinuss One can even track blood pressure when used with a paired ECG chest strap, says Kreuzer, who quotes an accuracy of within 1%. He adds that the company is also tapping into other industries that could benefit from this technology, including sailing teams, pilots and remote workers in hazardous environments. "A big use case is worker safety," he says. "Like lone workers in the field who have to do maintenance, in a risky area for example, working with high voltage generators and stuff like that. And for this we're monitoring to see if they are stressed or if their temperature is too high."
Cosinuss is currently working with Formula One drivers as well, to find a way of integrating its tech into protective headgear that would still allow drivers to radio-communicate.
"We have different markets but all of them have the same need: they want to monitor real vital signs, with high precision, with medical precision, and they don't want to wear chest straps or ECG electrodes or anything like that."
Kreuzer says the company has sold around 10,000 units of the Cosinuss One to date, but is still in the process of obtaining CE and FDA approval. Until that time it will continue to sell its hearables as non-medical devices. And, quite possibly, prepare to find a purpose beyond this world entirely.

Q: Формулы для физического движка для 2D игрушки Подскажите формулы, которые пригодились бы для физического движка "физически продуманного тетриса" и "прыжков в платформере".
A: F = ma
v(t) = v0 + at
ЗЫ, Извините, но вопрос такой . )

Ок для пыржков в платформере вам подойдет траектория тела брошенного под углом горизонту.
  x = x0 + v0 * t * cosα
  y = y0 + v0 * t * sinα - (g * t^2) / 2

Хотя в платформерах чаще этим не заморачиваются и проекции скорости по осям константны. Просто вводят некоторый потолок по y, после которого меняется знак.
A: @Nofate, жжоденько.
А по делу, пожалуйте учить матрицы преобразований:) Естественно это азы, пишется легко, работает быстро, на дельфях с правильным подходом даже на канвасе простейшие примитивы в 3д + тени отрабатывает на ура.

I am a bird nerd. Birds seem to permeate my life. I travel to see birds. Bird pictures, sculptures, trinkets and doodads find their way into my home. It only makes sense that birds would find their way into most of my jewelry. I like it that way, I hope you do too!

How do I get pictures off HTC Incredible?
Discussion in 'Introductions' started by GerryTont, Sep 11, 2011.
I'm new here. Can anyone tell me how to get pics and videos off of my phone and onto my PC??? I downloaded V CAST but the phone doesn't show up on the left side. When I go into the folder on my machine, there are no images in it. Is there an easy way to do this???
Welcome to Android Forums Gerry.
The easiest way is to plug your phone into the PC and turn on USB storage. Your phone will mount as a removable drive. Look for the folder called DCIM for the pictures. I'm not sure if the video files will be there as well. It may also depend on the app you use to record video and take pictures.

Q: Show Command Prompt Output with BackgroundWorker.Backgroundworker I have a program that executes a batch file using an asynchronous background worker. Here is the code:

    public Button TheButton { get; set; }
}

So when I run this program and choose a batch file to execute, I get a blank CMD window. Is there some way to show the output in the CMD window when my program executes the batch file? Alternatively, if I could have the CMD output sent to a textbox or some other control (in real-time), that would work as well.
Thanks!

A: Since you have one of the following properties set to true, you'll get a blank black Window
RedirectStandardInput
RedirectStandardOutput
RedirectStandardError

This will actually happen because you've told your application to receive/send the output/input from the target process
I see that you were trying to get the output from the batch file using this line
//obj.Activity = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

Unfortunately, this won't work unless you set RedirectStandardOutput to True so that your application would have the ability to read the output from the target batch file. Otherwise, the output will be empty
Example
private void RunBatch(CmdObj obj)
{
    var process = new Process();
    var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo

The Best of the Walking Dead Season Finale
Apr 6, 2015 by Caitlyn Stever
**Spoilers ahead!**
The 5th season of The Walking Dead has been one of my favorites so far. We've followed Rick's group through countless ordeals—the prison, Woodbury, and the wilderness. But, the community at Alexandria has inspired the most complicated relationships within the group. The age-old dynamics, which were established in the earliest seasons, are overturned when the group finds a safe haven. Not only is there a shift in the way that they interact with each other, but also how they treat perceived threats within a group that claims to be "civilized" changes. Here are some of our favorite highlights from the season finale:
1. Morgan
Morgan is badass. Credit: 2paragraphs
After seasons of waiting, fans of the WD comic book will be thrilled to finally see the possibility of Morgan reuniting with his bff, Rick. Last time we saw Morgan was back in season 3, and the horror of losing both his wife and son presumably left him a little crazy. Since then, he's gained some pretty badass ninja skills and I know I'm not alone when I say I'm excited to find out what has happened to him.
2. Carol is the best character on the show.
We all know what you're capable of, Carol. Credit: Chron
Initially, Carol threatens the shit out of Jesse's son, Sam, when he sees her stealing guns from the armory. However, she later becomes their ally when she finds out that Sam's father is a horribly abusive drunk. She may be harsh, but everything she does is truly to protect her group (and the members of Alexandria), though it doesn't always seem like it. She has mastered the art of survival, even dumbing herself down to appear harmless to Alexandria's residents. This isn't malicious though; she simply understands that she (and most of the group) frightens people who have been sheltered through the worst of the zombie apocalypse. Carol is at her most badass when she stops by to ask Jesse's estranged husband, Pete, to check on Tara (who has been MIA the past two episodes). Here, she tells him she would simply kill him because she doesn't like him and dares him to come at her. Carol. is. amazing.
3. Darryl isn't dead!
Yay! Darryl's alive. Credit: Buzzfeed
After the internet found out that actor Norman Reedus was selling his home in Serenbe, Georgia, there was wild speculation that his character would be killed off in the season 5 finale. When Darryl and Aaron are raiding the "abandoned" food warehouse and become trapped in a vehicle surrounded by zombies, I started to feel that this is true. Another reason why we love Morgan: he saved one of our favorite characters!
4. Rick proves his point.
Piss off, Pete. Credit: Blogspot
Alexandria's leader, Deanna, was adamant about Rick not killing anyone. But when asshole Pete accidentally assassinates her husband in front of her, she completely flip flops. As if Rick killing all the zombies who found their way into town and giving a pretty convincing speech wasn't enough! His place is definitely secured now, and Deanna has given him the right to kill. BTW, is anyone fed up with Gabriel's bullshit? Why'd he leave the gate open? Why is he just horrible and annoying in general? I was so excited when I thought he might get eaten…or shot.
5. What's to come for the group.

These are only a few images from Dustin Rowles's article discussing the many signs we've seen throughout season 5. Why do all these walkers have W's carved into their foreheads? Also, the man who holds Morgan at gunpoint has the mark and talks extensively about wolves. This leads many fans to believe that Negan, the violent and cruel leader of a band of survivors who have dubbed themselves the "Saviors," will make an appearance. He is a character who will make The Governor's killing spree look like child's play. Others speculate that these zombies have been marked by the Whisperers, a group of survivors who remove walkers' faces and wear them as masks to survive. Since they are a relatively new addition to the comics, there isn't much more that we know about them.
What were your favorite parts of the season finale? Let us know in the comments!

hmm tahini? Is that easy to find? where in the grocery store should I look for it?
I put a tablespoon of ground flax into my protein pancakes and you can't even taste it.
Try ground sesame, hemp and flax seeds in protein shakes, sprinkled on salads, eggs, cottage cheese, etc. etc. Best to grind these yourself just prior to eating them so the oils won't turn rancid. Hemp oil is also an excellent source of healthy omega essential fatty acids. Many people with food allergies can tolerate hemp products very well.
Try Asian or health food markets.
or organic section in groceries.. Both mine have it.
for reference..this coco butter will change your life!
That is one thing I have never tried. I'll have to check it out one of these days!
OHH I have this. it's really good. I use it in my oatmeal, protein pancakes, toast.. mmmmm. I want to try it in some bars next.
:yum: to the choc sauce..
does the CO sauce harden like magic shell??
Take fish oil..capsules or pure oil. Incorporate avocados with meals. Should take much to achieve your daily healthy fat requirements. Be careful of using cheese or other foods that are not low/fat free, Those calories add up pretty quick.
Where would I buy coconut butter. I am sure I can get it online, but I was wondering if you get it from a grocery store, Trader joes or somewhere like that? Sounds wonderful...Yummy!
I got mine at Wholefoods, but ive seen it at Good Earth. Im sure Trader Joes has it too.
Have you tried your majic shell Yet?
hadnt yet. now just have to remember to try it.

MASSIVE SUPPORT FROM THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY FOR A U.S. CUSTOMS PRE-CLEARANCE FACILITY AT YQB
Barre latérale - À propos (english)
Québec City, October 5, 2015 – Dozens of businesses, executives, municipalities, and chambers of commerce have expressed their approval and support for the installation of a U.S. Customs pre-clearance facility at Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB). From Beauce to Victoriaville to Rivière-du-Loup, socio-economic players in the greater Québec City area and many others have rallied to make Québec City the next Canadian city to have a pre-clearance facility.
Aéroport de Québec inc. (AQi) received dozens of letters of support from major local businesses, including Desjardins Group, Exfo, Industrial Alliance, Institut National d'Optique (INO), and Université Laval, the Beauce-Sartigan Regional County Municipality, the conseil de la Communauté métropolitaine de Québec. The response was unanimous in its support of the installation of a U.S. Customs pre-clearance facility at YQB.
"For us, the support of the business community and municipalities in the greater Québec City area is crucial," explained Gaëtan Gagné, president and CEO of AQi. "Installing a U.S. Customs pre-clearance facility will bring considerable economic spinoffs to the region, while making it easier for our passengers to travel to the United States. We are confident that, with the support of our community, as well as that of the federal government and Transport Canada, YQB will become the next airport to have such a facility. It's a key added benefit for Québec City and an undeniable asset that will stimulate and support economic growth in the region and across eastern Québec."
A pre-clearance facility at YQB was one of main requests the mayor of Québec City made to the federal government on June 1, 2015.
Pre-clearance: a key economic asset for development
In addition to generating major economic spinoffs, a pre-clearance facility at YQB would substantially reduce the time passengers spend in transit in U.S. airports because passengers would no longer need to clear U.S. customs upon arrival. And passengers could also take advantage of cutting-edge U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) technology at YQB, cutting wait times even further.
With such a facility, YQB could also offer connections to more American cities because the U.S. destination airports would not necessarily need to have customs facilities. This would open the door to a number of airports that currently serve the U.S. domestic market only.
A customs facility would strengthen pivotal initiatives in the region and throughout Québec, such as the Plan Nord and the development of the cruise industry. Cruise passengers would be able to take direct flights to the United States once they disembark at the Port of Québec, rather than having to pass through other airports that have customs facilities.
About Aéroport de Québec inc. (AQi)
Since November 1, 2000, Aéroport de Québec inc., a private corporation has been responsible for the management, operation, maintenance, and development of YQB. Over ten carriers offer multiple connections to various destinations in North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Europe, with daily service to major hubs in northeastern North America.

Герб Кайби́цкого муниципального района Республики Татарстан Российской Федерации.

Герб утверждён Решением № 21 представительного органа Кайбицкого муниципального района 19 декабря 2005 года.

Герб внесён в Государственный геральдический регистр Российской Федерации под регистрационном номером 2156 и в Государственный геральдический реестр Республики Татарстан под № 38.

Описание герба

«В серебряном поле на зелёном холме дуб с золотым, расходящимся натрое стволом и зелёной листвой с золотыми желудями».

Символика герба
В гербе отражено основное достояние Кайбицкого района — его природа. Кайбицкий район давно известен своими дубравами.

Дуб — традиционный символ долголетия, твёрдости, благородства, отваги, стойкости. Символика дуба в гербе многозначна.

Изображение дуба с тремя ветвями ствола и одной общей кроной говорит о многонациональном составе местного населения: русские, чуваши и татары мирно живут и плодотворно трудятся на Кайбицкой земле. Кроме того, крона дуба в гербе напоминает своими очертаниями карту района, придавая композиции свой особенный облик.

Основой экономики района является сельскохозяйственное производство. В гербе района это отражено с помощью цветовой гаммы: зелёным цветом, серебром и золотом.

Зелёный цвет — символ природы, здоровья, жизненного роста, возрождения.

Золото — символ урожая, богатства, стабильности, уважения.

Серебро — символ чистоты, совершенства, мира и взаимопонимания.

McDonough County Board approves pipeline moratorium
TSPR
The McDonough County Board is trying to put the brakes on a proposed CO2 pipeline that would run through parts of the county. The board this week unanimously approved a two-year moratorium for CO2 pipelines in the county.
Board Chair Scott Schwerer said the county wants to give the federal government time to potentially upgrade safety guidelines for such projects.
"The safety of our residents of McDonough County is very important and that's paramount in my mind," Schwerer said.
"If there is a pipeline, we want it to be the safest pipeline there can be."
At past meetings, the board has heard from project opponents. This time, it heard from supporters.
One of them, local resident Lee Trotter, said the pipeline will bring good paying jobs to the area.
"I don't like the fact that a moratorium of two years has been set for these people to know what jobs they may have in the future. It's hard to plan what you're going to be doing if you don't know where or when you're going to be working," he said.
Trotter called the board's vote a stalling tactic.
The board also heard from Danielle Anderson, Public Affairs Manager for Navigator CO2, the company that plans to build the pipeline.
Anderson said the pipeline will meet or exceed all safety guidelines. She also said all affected landowners in the county should hear from the company by the end of the month.
Navigator CO2 wants to build the pipeline through five states. It would capture carbon dioxide from biofuel plants, liquify it, and pump it through underground pipes to a deep storage site in central Illinois.
Tri States Public Radio produced this story. TSPR relies on financial support from our readers and listeners in order to provide coverage of the issues that matter to west central Illinois, southeast Iowa, and northeast Missouri.

Take an approved online boaters exam to learn how to responsibly operate your recreational vessel.
Choose your course and register for free. Boat Ed is the only safety course provider that develops print materials on behalf of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. We've worked with boating safety agencies in Canada and more than 40 states to develop approved and recognized online courses and boat tests for North American boaters.
Complete the online course on your smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. It works on any device, and we've made the official curriculum simple and fun. Learning how to operate your boat or PWC safely has never been so easy!
After you pass the online course and boating license test, you'll be one step closer to getting right on the water. When all education requirements have been successfully completed, you will receive your lifetime boater education card or certificate in the mail.
When you complete all units, you'll then move on to the final steps in the certification process as mandated by your state or province. In most cases, the final step is a boating test covering all the course material.
Comprehensive content is completed with a boaters exam.
Boating licence courses are for all types of boaters.
Do I need to take a boating exam before I can get on the water?
An educated boater is a safer boater. You've likely heard that you need a boat license to operate your boat or personal watercraft (PWC), but what you actually need is a boater education card. Since a boater education card or certificate never expires and does not need to be renewed, it is not called a license. An education card serves as proof that you have successfully completed an official safety course, and that you have passed an approved boaters test. By passing a boating test, you are indicating that you have learned the boating laws and regulations for your state or province.
To legally and safely operate your vessel on state and federal waters, you need boater education. Because each safety course provides information about boating laws and regulations specific to that state, visit your state's approved course to find out if you need an education card and if you must pass the boat license test before you can legally take your boat or PWC out on the water. With a minimum of time and effort, you can complete a course and boat test on boat-ed.com that are officially approved by the agency responsible for boating safety in your state or province.
With Boat Ed's easy-to-understand courses, you can complete an online boating safety course at your own pace and on any device, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers. All courses are mobile-ready, which means that completing boat education can be fast, easy, and entirely at your convenience.
Why are boating exams important?
More than 40 U.S. states have educational requirements, which include the completion of a boating license test, that must be finished before you can receive your education card and legally operate your recreational vessel on state waters. Law enforcement officers and boater safety agencies enforce education requirements to make sure that every boater's experience on the water is both safe and enjoyable. Cooperate with these officials by adhering to the boating laws and regulations you learned about in your state's approved course and boaters exam, and carry your boaters education card on board your vessel in case an enforcement officer asks to inspect it.
Even if your state does not require boaters to receive proof of successful course and boating test completion before taking to the water, boat education can save lives and reduce the number of accidents that could occur while on the water. Boat Ed's approved safety content, boaters license tests, live-action videos, and up-to-date animations will help you learn about responsible boat operation and the rules of the waterways. By passing a course and boaters test and earning your card, you can successfully keep yourself and your passengers safe on any and all boating adventures.
I don't live in the U.S., but I still want to learn to boat safely. Should I take a boaters license test?
Boat Ed's safety education materials, courses, and boating license test have been developed in conjunction with boating safety experts and boating safety agencies throughout the United States. State courses and boat tests are recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard and approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).
Boat Ed has also been accredited by Transport Canada to offer a boating safety course and administer tests for the issuance of the Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC), including replacement cards, for Canadian boaters. The Boat Canada course is offered throughout Canada and has been recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard and NASBLA.
Boat Ed is produced by Kalkomey Enterprises, LLC., a print and online provider of recreational safety education, and is dedicated to providing print and Internet boating education courses and certification across North America. Boat Ed is the only boating safety education course and boaters exam provider that develops online courses, eBooks, and print materials on behalf of government boating and boater safety agencies in North America.

Ivanka Trump: Donald's daughter in pictures from child model to First Daughter
Ivanka Trump is America's new First Daughter
Ivanka was spotted attending a church service in Washington yesterday with her family, a day after her father's inauguration.
She wore a burgundy wrap dress by Oscar De La Renta and held her daughter Arabella's hand as they arrived at the service.
Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner have relocated to Washington, where they will both play integral parts the new administration.
She has said: "This is the start of a new chapter for our family, and I'm looking forward to what lies ahead."
Jared, a real estate developer, will act as a senior White House advisor, while Ivanka is expected to serve as de facto First Lady.
Although she will not take a formal role, it is thought that Ivanka will continue to act as one of her father's most trusted advisors.
She was regularly seen by his side during his election campaign and has been credited with softening his image and making him more palatable to women voters.
Ivanka Trump in pictures
Ivanka Marie Trump is an American businesswoman and former fashion model. She is the daughter of real estate developer and President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump and former model Ivana Trump.
Ivanka was born October 30, 1981, the second child of Mr Trump and his first wife Ivana.
She grew up with her brothers Donald Jr and Eric in Trump Tower, New York. She also has two half siblings – Tiffany and Barron.
The children enjoyed a privileged upbringing, but when Ivanka was 10 years old her father left her mother for Marla Marples, who went on to become his second wife.
Ivanka wore a dazzling gown for her father's inaugural ball
She was joined by her children for the ceremony
Ivanka is expected to take on many of the First Lady's duties
Ivanka credits the divorce with bringing her closer to her father: "Not because I was taking his side, but because I could no longer take him for granted."
She enjoys a close bond with the new President and is his favourite child, according to her siblings.
Mr Trump regularly praises his daughter in interviews and famously once said: "If Ivanka were't my daughter I'd be dating her."
Ivanka, here aged nine, accompanied her father to the US tennis open
As a teenager, Ivanka worked as a fashion model and walked the catwalk for designers such as Versace and Thierry Mugler.
After studying economics Georgetown University and then Pennyslvania's Wharton Business School, she took a job at her father's business.
In the mid-2000s she served as a judge on The Apprentice, her father's reality TV show, along with her brothers Eric and Donald.

Ivanka's mother is Donald's first wife Ivana
Ivanka spent a decade as executive Vice President of the Trump Organisation before divesting ahead of the inauguration.
She also walked away from her namesake fashion and jewellery line to avoid any potential conflict of interest with her new role as First Daughter.
In an interview with ABC's 20/20, she saidL "It's emotional. "I'm stepping away from my business. My father will be president, and hopefully, I can be there to support him and to support those causes I've cared about my whole professional career."
Ivanka appeared on The Apprentice with her father and brothers
Ivanka married in 2009
INSTAGRAM / IVANKA TRUMP
Ivanka and Jared have three children
In 2005 Ivanka began dating her now-husband Jared.
The couple married in 2009 at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey and have three children – Arabella, 5, Joseph, 3, and Theodore, 10 months.
To marry, Ivanka converted to her husband's Jewish faith, a process she has described as "a beautiful journey".

I love my dogs!! I have always been an animal lover but my children and my family might say I go a little overboard when it comes to my pets. Right now I have a beautiful Pit mix called Maggie, a yellow lab, named Sasha,and when I can, I keep my son's dog, King and spoil him as I would a grandson!
Tomorrow is Maggie's eighth birthday!
So, in honor of Maggie's birthday, I thought I would share some of my favorite quotes about man's best friend.
So here's to all my dog lovin' friends – LIFE IS BETTER WITH A DOG!!
Sasha, King and the Birthday Girl!
Life is definitely better with a dog! And yours are so cute!
A belated happy birthday to Maggie. I love those quotes!
My girlfriend has 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 fish and a horse.
I can't understand it to be honest.
Isn't that past the point of fun and more onto responsibility?
It is. Sometimes chaotic but always worthwhile.
LOL Some might say "yes" to that Nam. But those of us die-hard animal lovers would always cconsider it fun and rewarding.
So sorry to hear about Cole Boy. 😦 Each year that passes, I think of it as being one year closer to when I will have to say good-bye to my sweet loves. I enjoy each day with them and celebrate them with long walks and many treats. LOL All were blessed with an extra treat or two today in clebration of the birthday girl! Thanks for your sweet comment.
Those quotes are great. I can't stand it when someone says 'Just a dog.' It lets me know everything I need to know about them.
Great looking dogs. Love the quotes!

We live in a world where several "borders" exist between the body and the soul, the man and the city, the building and the environment. May these borders be visible or invisible, they restrict the inner world of our consciousness together with the outer world with which we interact. In the search of new forms and methods, as designers, we need to understand the underlying geopolitical, ecological, urban and moral scenarios that shape the borders. Borders, boundaries, barriers, limits or edges, whatever we may call them, then may become inputs for designing new interfaces and intersections in the production of architectural / urban form and space.
CAUMME PAUMME 2018 addresses the meaning and the design approaches of borders in the theory and practice of architecture. What are the social, cultural, philosophical, political, economic and aesthetic reasons for spatial segregation within contemporary territories and cities? In the world of globalization and networks of exchange, what are the new limitations of space? What are alienating differences between interior and exterior, private and public, urban and suburban, local and global, real and virtual? Are spatial definitions and divisions more likely to weaken (if not totally erased) by effects of globalization and mobility, similar to the dissolution of borders between countries? Or, are local practices and measures likely to become more apparent with emerging trends such as sustainability and issues of identity?
CAUMME PAUMME 2018 calls for researchers and practitioners from various disciplines including architecture and design, engineering and technology, social, cultural and political studies, art and humanities to rethink the meaning of "borders". Under 'Symposium Tracks' menu you can find the main symposium tracks with related keywords which can further be broadened by authors.
Selected papers will be re-reviewed for consideration for publication in a special issue of CAUMME III on Archnet-IJAR: International Journal of Architectural Research.
Architectural theory and research can only find a substantial body through practice. Hence all project stages that architects go through, such as design inspirations, functional diagrams, sketching and drafting, collaboration with customers, drafters and clients, adaptation of experimental, digital and technological innovations etc. are open for further exploration.
PAUMME 2018 – Projects of Architecture & Urbanism in the Mediterranean & the Middle East will hold an exhibition and roundtable discussion in November 2018 at Bahçeşehir University North Campus. Anyone interested in displaying their projects is welcome to participate in the exhibition to share their work. All submitted projects will be exhibited as long as they meet the format and content requirements. The submitted projects can be built or unbuilt work done within the past 10 years and should display experimental architectural/urban design features that are located anywhere in the world.
