A batty but beautiful story
Don't you just love it when a novel someone has recommended lives up to expectations? 'Miss Hargreaves', by Frank Baker, was wonderful. It's right up there with 'Parnassus on Wheels' (Christopher Morley) as one of my unexpected gems. I spotted it whilst browsing in the library (I'd only popped in to take a book back and collect an 'order') but I can never resist scanning the shelves. Anyway, when I saw this I thought: "Aha, Simon, at Stuck in a Book, raves about Miss Hargreaves, and usually I like the books he admires, so I shall read it." And I'm very glad I did, because it's a joy from beginning to end.
Miss Hargreaves (pronounced Hargrayves) is one of the most incredible creations you are likely to meet in any novel – and I use the word creation quite deliberately. For the narrator, Norman Huntley, is blessed, as he himself admits, with a fertile imagination, and he invents the elderly and eccentric Miss Connie Hargreaves while looking at a particularly bleak Irish church. Fearing a careless remark gives the impression he knew a former vicar, he tells the sexton he knows someone who knew the late cleric. On the spur of the moment he plucks a name out of thin air and invents a history and character to go with it, aided and abetted by his friend Henry Beddow, who embellishes the story with further details. Norman has already admitted to previous problems brought about by similar inventive tales, so we have been warned. And there is a shivery moment when:
"It seemed to me there was a sort of stirring of air in the church, like – like what? Rather like someone opening a very old umbrella. I looked round sharply, but couldn't see anything unusual. A ray of feeble sun had broken through the dark clouds and was shining down on the dust in the galleries. I realised I was trembling. Sweating too. No doubt about it. I was precariously poised on the Spur of the Moment. Father's ancient warning came back to me. No good now, when you're on the Spur you can't go back. I wiped my brow with my handkerchief and smiled at the sexton. I knew I was powerless to move except in one direction."
Author Frank Baker wrote
Miss Hargreaves in 1939
He becomes obsessed with his creation – who, he claims, writes poetry and travels everywhere with a bath given to her by Rev Archer when they were both Cambridge students. He even sends a letter to the Hereford hotel where he claims she is staying, inviting her to visit his family. Back home in the Thames-side cathedral town of Cornford a mysterious book of poetry (Wayside Bundle) surfaces in his father's bookshop. It is written by Constance Hargreaves …
Then Norman receives a letter from the lady. Then she arrives, alighting from the train accompanied by a dog on a purple lead and cockatoo. In addition there's her bath, two trunks, assorted bags and a harp. As Norman says, I'd better try to try to describe her to you.
"She was very small, very slight, with a perky, innocent little face and speedwell-blue eyes. Perched on top, right on top, of a hillock of snowy white hair: buttressed behind by a large fan-comb, studded by sequins and masted by long black pins, lay a speckled straw hat. Over a pale pink blouse with a high neck and lace cuffs, she was wearing a heathery tweed jacket; a skirt to match. Round her neck was a silver fur. Resting on one stick, she was holding the other, and the umbrella was on her arm; they were black ebony sticks, with curved Malacca handles."
Norman is proud of himself. He can't help it. She is perfect. But those black sticks seem faintly menacing, and he is aware there may be trouble ahead – as there is. Miss Hargreaves may say she abominates fuss, but she's very autocratic and very unreasonable. Who else would demand another bed in her room for the dog to sleep on? Or order Norman to buy all the hotel's vases and smash them, because they offend her sense of beauty? And who else would sit in the Bishop's throne at the Cathedral (where the clergy do their best to discourage visitors)? She gets Norman into a series of scrapes, and alienates his friends – and all the while she never stops talking, in her shrill imperious voice.
Margaret Rutherford played
Miss Harrgreaves in a
stage play
Gradually she takes on a life of her own, becoming more and more independent of her creator. There's an almost symbiotic relationship between them and, succubus-like, s as he grows stronger, he grows weaker, unable to control her. He loves her and hates her, and believes she is a monster and must be destroyed. In the end Norman and Henry return to the Irish church to replay the scene where the dreaded Miss Hargreaves was first created. By the end I still wasn't sure if Norman conjured Miss Hargreaves out of nothing, or whether she was a ghost, or whether it was all a strange co-incidence. But then she disappears as mysteriously as she arrives – or does she….
I could go on and on about this gorgeous story with its batty plot and batty characters, including Norman's delightfully scatty father, who once made up an excuse about an escaped elephant and a dead postman, only to find the incident came true. And I haven't said anything about the music, or Miss Hargreaves' poems which, for some reason made me think of Lewis Carroll. All I will say is that this is a very funny, beautifully written novel, with a dark edge. And it's published by The Bloomsbury Group, with a period style design on a lovely blue cover, and an Ex Libris printed on the first page with room for your to write your name.

Ribbon of Darkness/Oh, Linda
These two songs seem to be about the same woman. Does anyone know if they are? The positioning of them on the album works very well. At first, he's really heartbroken and despondent and then he's angry and bitter, giving her the, "good riddance!" boot.

I wouldn't attempt to put actual meaning regarding actual people in all of his songs. A friend of mine Rick Haynes once who "Anne" was from "Carefree Highway." Rick replied that while Carefree Highway is a road outside of Pheonix, Anne wasn't anybody other than a name that phonetically seemed to fit...
I think Ribbon of Darkness was an attempt to write a song in the mold of Marty Robbins, who ended up recording it. I never thought "Oh LInda" was that great--even Gord himself views certain songs as filler...While certain pieces are clearly the work of genius (like, in my opinion--the entire album "Summer Side of Life") Gord had some bad creative days..."Daisy Doo" for example...

I'm not saying "Oh Linda" was awful or anything--I just don't think it was one of his best or most profound efforts--
It's LIGHT Years beyond, say, Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch" which is, in my opinion, a crime against nature...
Dan's crime is not nearly as bad as Debby Boone's "You Light Up Myyyyy-ah-yyyyyyy Liiiiiiiiife".

Hunting suppressors for 2021 - technology and cleaning
Hunting suppressors for 2021: technology, current market developments and proper cleaning and care
In a large suppressor test with over 80 models, we have already presented to you the best silencers for 2021 for stalking and mountain hunting, high stands and driven hunts, hide hunting and shooting range. In such a broad test, similarities and differences also stand out. We tell you everything worth knowing about the design trends in the technology of silencers.
The Team of all4shooters.com 09/02/2021
Andreas Burth, Dr. Christian Neitzel
Not a new invention, but found in many modern suppressors: inner inserts made of metal mesh.
If we take a closer look at the currently successful suppressor models on the market, similarities in the design features of a number of them clearly stand out: straight baffles with a continuous central inner tube, which has porting holes. The first designs of hunting suppressors with this design appeared as early as around the year 2000. At the same time, the original invention is not really directly attributable to anyone.
This is how suppressors for hunting rifles will be made in 2021
Baffles (from left): cut-away of two suppressors from Roedale. The model made of 3D-printed titanium alloy does not require screws or welding compared to conventional products. This avoids double wall thicknesses and provides better stability.
What is certain, however, is that the patent filed in 2000 is in the name of Hausken. The design caught on within a few years: whether ERA SOB, SIW, Roedale, A-Tech – many were inspired by the design for their own further developments.
If you look at the measurement results, where particularly small differences between first and subsequent shots can be observed, the question quickly arises as to why models such as ERA SOB 3D, Roedale Precision Hunter 55+, the SIW "Ultra" and Hausken "XTRM" variants do not actually exhibit a first round pop effect. What distinguishes the latter two models in particular from the respective standard type in terms of construction? They look exactly the same and weigh only slightly more.
And yet they are quieter, especially with the first round. What's different about these suppressors? The short answer is actually that little bit more coolness – but you don't realize it until you unscrew the jacket. A winding of metal mesh is revealed. A few years ago, Hausken discovered that the design still had room for huge improvement: the use of metal mesh. This acts as a heat exchanger and thus extracts energy from the hot gases. The mesh packings also provide significant physical resistance that slows the flow of gases – an effect comparable to coughing into fabric. The gases thus slowed and cooled now also react less with the atmospheric air still in the suppressor, so that the "afterburning" of the gases not yet converted, that otherwise often occurs during the first shot, is weaker.
Metal mesh in suppressors – more is not always better
From the second or even third round of a string, the latter advantage over the standard suppressor no longer exists. There is no oxygen left inside to react, only the already saturated gases from the previous shot. The metal mesh is already heated, so it can no longer absorb as much energy as it did earlier. It happens that with such suppressors even a "reverse first round effect" occurs, i.e. that the first round is actually somewhat quieter than the second or third ones. Incidentally, the manufacturer must carefully tune and test at this point in the development phase, because too much metal mesh will eventually become a disadvantage. If they fill the suppressor to the top, for example, this still slows down the gases, since they still have to flow through the mesh, but the winding also takes up valuable space! This then costs performance, because similarly to the old saying in the world of engines, the following also basically applies to suppressors: "There's no substitute for expansion space!" The suppressors in our test did not have this problem, of course, and delivered very consistent results, at least over short strings.
A look at the past shows that the use of metal mesh is not a very recent invention (from top): the current Roedale Hunter 55K+, next to it a Sionics display model for a MAC-10. The metal mesh is historically incorrect, actually a series of aluminum eyelets should go in. The .22LR caliber pistol is a Hi-Standard from World War II. With it, the efficiency of the noise reduction is remarkable. Shooting actually resembles what some sound engineers would attribute to it in a movie.
Important practical tip: care of suppressors for hunting guns
© Fluna Tec
With the Fluna SDR cleaner, the user can simply place the inside of the suppressor in the cleaning fluid (here: 500 milliliters).
If metal mesh has only advantages when well tuned, why is it not used by all manufacturers? Quite simply: because the suppressor must then be maintained in the future! Suppressors are consumables, and replacing them is about as common in other countries as changing the brake discs on a car. In Europe, people may still believe that suppressors have to last beyond a hunter's lifetime, but this assumption is unrealistic. There will certainly be exceptions for models designed for military/law enforcement use that have a longer life than the rifle in normal civilian use. Here's an excerpt from the B&T Rotex product sheet: "Full auto capability until glowing red." But these suppressors are hardly used in hunting practice.
Instead, most "civilians" are made largely of aluminum for weight reasons. The material thicknesses are kept as low as possible, again for weight saving. This is quite sufficient; such a suppressor can withstand several thousand rounds. At least as long as it is not subjected to excessive pressure and heat, i.e. caliber specifications and cooling phases are taken into account. While this is meticulously observed by most owners, another discipline is largely neglected: cleaning, care and drying!.
For proper cleaning and care, the market now also offers a variety of products – because every suppressor needs both cleaning and care. Our tip: the suppressor cleaner from the Austrian manufacturer Fluna Tec. Please always remember: cleaning AND drying – these are the two most important aspects that belong together in order to avoid damage caused by corrosion when cleaning and caring for suppressors incorrectly. Therefore, please pay attention to both the manufacturer specifications of your suppressor and, of course, the application instructions of the cleaning agent used and its disposal. Then nothing can actually go wrong.

Home 9 Core Program
CORE FACULTY
"Drawing is an act of interpretation informed by purpose, study, experience, intuition, and knowing one's craft. To varying degrees, a draftsman harmonizes three domains: perceptual, cognitive, and affective—or, in other words, the sources for the drawing derive from that which is seen, known, and felt. Thus, a drawing will reflect these elements necessarily in great variety as both the hand and the heart of the draftsman are revealed."
– Deane G. Keller, former Drawing Instructor, Lyme Academy of Fine Arts
Students at the Academy commit to a rigorous two-year foundational program that is both grounded in tradition and progressive in its vision. During their first year, students focus on historical approaches to the development of critical observational skills and technical facility. Inside our custom north-lit studios, students work from direct observation of plaster casts and live models, utilizing a sequential, systematic progression, first taught in the Renaissance academies of Europe and, later, at Paris's École des Beaux-Arts. In year two, these methodologies are applied to painting, through increasingly challenging studio work with the cast and in the model room.
The curriculum in both years is comprehensive and intense: Classes are conducted five days a week, from 9 am until 9 pm, with weekly supplementary instruction in anatomy, sculpture, and the histories of art. Landscape, still life, and portraiture are included in the program, as are dedicated explorations of the properties of light and form. In addition to faculty and guest lectures, intimate class sizes allow for in-studio demonstrations and individualized critiques, as well as museum and gallery visits. Students who choose to pursue their studies at the Academy past the second year may stay for a third and fourth year of advanced study. During this time, students will work to further hone their skills and develop a unique visual vocabulary that represents their own artistic intentions.
Integrated into this instructional framework is the progressive philosophy of the Academy, and its commitment to preparing each student for their future in the arts: By instilling confidence through the disciplined learning of skills and technique, and through an appreciation of the history, process, and potential of their craft, Academy students are equipped not merely to engage with today's art world, but also to influence and shape it.
The Lyme Academy of Fine Arts uses a trimester schedule. Trimesters are separated into Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. Each Trimester is eleven weeks.
2021-2022 Core Program Tuition
Total Annual Tuition and Fees $10,950.00
For newly enrolled students a $1000.00 non-refundable deposit must be paid within 10 days of acceptance. The deposit will be applied towards the first tuition payment.
**Annual studio fees include use of one shared (two-person) studio space. Students may request a single-occupancy studio space for an additional annual cost of $1,350.00, or a total annual cost of $2,700.00 per single-occupancy studio space per academic year. Both single-occupancy and shared studio spaces are 8′x10′ and feature partial (9′ tall) privacy walls and open doorways for easy accessibility.
Fall Tuition + Studio Fee – $3650.00 due by August 27, 2021
Winter Tuition + Studio Fee – $3650.00 due by December 3, 2021
Spring Tuition + Studio Fee – $3650.00 due by February 28, 2022
As part of the Academy's commitment to making art education affordable and supporting Core Program students in the pursuit of their artistic goals, we offer a variety of scholarship opportunities for the 2021-2022 academic year. Additional details will be posted soon.
The Lyme Academy of Fine Arts welcomes all qualified applicants, including those outside the United States; however, we are currently not authorized to accept international non-immigrant students. We are actively pursuing SEVP certification to issue I-20 forms, allowing candidates to apply for Student Visas. Please check back regularly for updates.

Hot on the heels of the BT Mobile launch in March comes Carphone Warehouse with its new virtual network: ID Mobile.
ID Mobile will run on Three's network, and like BT Mobile (which runs on EE's network), will offer access to 4G at no extra cost.
Contracts will be available ranging from 30 days to 24 months, as SIM-only or with handsets. Details of the handsets on offer, and any special offers for early adopters, will be revealed later.
The virtual network is due to launch in May and Carphone Warehouse promises to offer some unique benefits, mostly centred around giving subscribers complete control and promising there will be no nasty bill shocks.
High roaming charges are one big cause of large bills, so ID Mobile will be going even further than Three's own 'Feel at Home' service by offering subscribers free roaming in more countries than Three currently does.
At launch this will be 22 countries, namely: Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, and the USA.
The company isn't giving much else away for now, preferring to get people to register their interest on the site, and start following on social media.

Sesso video Kursk
Putin's Cover Up Of The Kursk Submarine Disaster (2002)
Throughout the entire course of the foreign occupation, the territory of Poland was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union USSR with the intention of eradicating Polish culture and subjugating its people by occupying German and Soviet powers.
Both occupying powers were hostile to the existence of sovereign PolandPolish peopleand the Polish culture aiming at their destruction. Around 6 million Polish citizens—nearly After Germany and the Soviet Union had partitioned Poland insesso video Kursk of the ethnically Polish territory ended up under the sesso video Kursk of Germany, while the areas annexed by the Soviet Union contained ethnically diverse peoples, with the territory split into bilingual provinces, some of which had large ethnic Ukrainian and Belarusian minorities.
Nonetheless Poles comprised the largest sesso video Kursk ethnic group in all territories annexed by the Soviet Union. By the end of the invasion the Soviet Union had taken over There were alsorefugees who fled from areas occupied by Germany, most of them Sesso video KurskFor months prior to the beginning of World War II inGerman newspapers and leaders had carried out a national and international propaganda campaign accusing Polish authorities of organizing or tolerating violent ethnic cleansing of ethnic Germans living in Poland.
Kennard sent four sesso video Kursk in August to Viscount Halifax regarding Hitler's claims about the treatment Germans were receiving in Poland; he came to the conclusion all the claims by Hitler and the Nazis were exaggerations or false claims. Those plans began to be implemented almost immediately after the German troops took control of Poland. Sesso video Kursk early as Octobermany Poles were expelled from the annexed lands to make room for German colonizers.
The expulsions continued inwith another 45, Poles forced to move eastwards, but following the German invasion of the Soviet Unionthe expulsions slowed down, as more and more trains were diverted for military logistics, rather than being made available for population transfers.
The Nazi plans also called for Poland's 3. Further, the populace of occupied territories was to be relegated to the role of an unskilled labour-force for German-controlled industry and agriculture. After Germany lost the war, the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials and Poland's Supreme National Tribunal concluded that the aim of German policies in Poland — the extermination of Poles and Jews — had "all the characteristics of genocide in the biological meaning of this term.
The German People's List Deutsche Volksliste classified the willing Polish citizens into four groups of people with ethnic Germanic heritage. Group 2 included those ethnic Germans who had not taken such an active part, but had "preserved" their German characteristics. Group 3 included individuals of alleged German stock who had become "Polonized", but whom it was believed, could be won back to Germany. This group also included persons of non-German descent married to Germans or members of non-Polish groups who were considered desirable for their political sesso video Kursk and racial characteristics.
Group 4 consisted of persons sesso video Kursk German stock who had become politically merged with the Poles. After registration in the List, individuals from Groups 1 and 2 automatically became German citizens. Those from Group 3 acquired German citizenship subject to revocation. Those from Group 4 received German citizenship through naturalization proceedings; resistance sesso video Kursk Germanization constituted treason because "German blood must not be utilized in the interest of a foreign nation," and such people were sent to concentration camps.
One of the attempts to divide the Polish nation was a creation of a new ethnicity called " Goralenvolk ". In a top-secret memorandum, "The Treatment of Racial Aliens in the East", dated 25 MayHeinrich Himmlerhead of the SSwrote: "We need to divide the East's different ethnic groups up into as many parts and splinter groups as possible".
Almost immediately after the invasion, Germans began forcibly conscripting laborers. Jews were drafted to repair war damage as early as October, with women and children 12 or older required to work; shifts could take half a day and with little compensation.
Forced labourers were subject to harsh discriminatory measures. Announced on the 8 March was the Polish decrees which were used as a legal basis for foreign labourers in Germany. Labor shortages in the German war economy became critical especially after German defeat in the battle of Stalingrad in — This led to the increased use of prisoners as forced labourers in German industries.
Auschwitz received the first contingent of Poles on 14 Junetransferred from an overcrowded prison at Tarnów. Within a year the Polish inmate population was in sesso video Kursk, and begun to be exterminated, including in the first gassing experiment in September About 30, Poles died at Mauthausen sesso video Kursk, 20, at Sachsenhausen and Gross-Rosen each, 17, at Neuengamme and Ravensbrueck each, 10, at Dachauand tens of thousands perished in other camps and prisons. Sesso video Kursk the invasion of Poland in most of the approximately 3.
The ghetto system was unsustainable, as by the end of the Jews had no savings left to pay sesso video Kursk SS for food deliveries and no chance to sesso video Kursk their own keep. Nazi Germany engaged in a concentrated effort to destroy Polish culture. To that end, numerous cultural and educational institutions were closed or destroyed, from schools and universities, through monuments and libraries, to laboratories and museums. Many employees of said institutions were arrested and executed as part wider persecutions of Polish intellectual elite.
Schooling of Polish children was curtailed to a few years of elementary education, as outlined by Himmler's May memorandum: "The sole goal of this schooling is to teach them simple arithmetic, nothing above the number ; writing one's name; and sesso video Kursk doctrine that it is divine law to obey the Germans.
I do not think that reading is desirable". Proscription lists Sonderfahndungsbuch Polenprepared before the war started, identified more than 61, Polish elite and intelligentsia leaders deemed as unfriendly towards Germany.
The Nazis also persecuted the Catholic Church in Poland and other, smaller religions. Nazi policy towards the Church was sesso video Kursk its most severe in the territories it annexed to Greater Germany, where they set about systematically dismantling the Church — arresting its leaders, exiling its sesso video Kursk, closing its churches, monasteries and convents.
Many clergymen and nuns were murdered or sesso video Kursk to concentration and labor camps. The entirety of the Protestant clergy of the Cieszyn region of Silesia were arrested and deported to concentration camps at Mauthausen, BuchenwaldDachau and Oranienburg. In the territories annexed to Nazi Germanyin particular with regards to the westernmost incorporated territories—the so-called Wartheland — the Nazis aimed for a complete " Germanization ", i.
Sesso video Kursk manner of Polish enterprises, up to small shops, were taken over, with prior owners rarely compensated. The Nazis kept an eye sesso video Kursk for Polish children who possessed Nordic racial characteristics. At least 4, children were given new German names, [75] forbidden to use Polish language, [76] and reeducated in Nazi institutions.
Those deemed as unsuitable for Germanization for being "not Aryan enough" were sent to orphanages or even to concentration camps like Auschwitz, where many perished, often killed by intercardiac injections of phenol. Despite the military defeat of the Polish Army in Septemberthe Polish government itself never surrendered, instead evacuating West, where it formed the Polish government in Exile. These institutions included the police, the courtsand schools. In response to the occupation, Poles formed one of the largest underground movements in Europe.
In the beginning ofit had reached a strength of aboutIn the summer of when Operation Tempest begun AK reached its highest membership numbers. Estimates of AK membership in the first half of and summer that year vary, with aboutbeing common. The uprising, receiving little assistance from the nearby Soviet sesso video Kursk, eventually failed, significantly reducing the Home Army's power and position.
The Polish civilian population suffered under German occupation in many ways. Large numbers were expelled from land intended for German colonisation, and forced to resettle in the General-Government area. Hundreds of thousands of Poles were deported to Germany for forced labour in industry and agriculture, where many thousands died. Poles were also conscripted for labour in Poland, and were held in labour camps all over the country, again with a high death rate. There was a general shortage of food, fuel for heating and medical supplies, and there was sesso video Kursk high death rate among the Polish population as a result.
Finally, thousands of Poles were killed as reprisals for resistance attacks on German forces or for other reasons. Poland had a large Jewish population, and according to Davies, more Jews were both killed and rescued in Poland, than in any other nation, the rescue figure usually being put at betweenandThe organisation saved thousands. Emphasis was placed on protecting children, as it was nearly impossible to intervene directly against the heavily guarded transports.
The Germans implemented several different laws to separate Poles and Jews in the ghettos with Poles living on the "Aryan Side" and the Jews living on the "Jewish Side", despite the risk of death many Poles risked their lives by forging "Aryan Papers" for Jews to make them appear as non-Jewish Poles so they could live on the Aryan sesso video Kursk and avoid Nazi persecution. Some three million Polish citizens perished during the course of the war, over two million of whom were ethnic Poles the remainder sesso video Kursk mostly Ukrainians and Belarusians.
The vast majority of those killed were civilians, mostly killed by the actions of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Aside from being sent to Nazi concentration campsmost ethnic Poles died through shelling and bombing campaigns, mass executions, forced starvation, revenge murder, ill health, and slave labour. Along with Auschwitz II-Birkenauthe main six extermination camps in occupied Poland were used predominantly sesso video Kursk exterminate Jews. Stutthof concentration camp was used for mass extermination of Poles.
A number of civilian labour camps Gemeinschaftslager for Poles Polenlager were established inside Polish territory. Many Poles died in German camps. The first non-German prisoners at Auschwitz were Poles who were the majority of inmates there until when the systematic killing of the Jews began.
The first killing by poison gas at Auschwitz involved Poles and Soviet prisoners of war. Many Poles and other Central and Eastern Europeans were also sent to concentration camps in Germany: over 35, sesso video Kursk Dachau33, to the camp for women at Ravensbrück30, to Mauthausen and 20, to Sachsenhausen. The population in the General Government's territory was initially about 12 million in an area of 94, square kilometres, but this increased as aboutPoles and Jews were expelled from the German-annexed areas and "resettled" in the General Government.
Offsetting this was the German campaign of extermination of the Polish intelligentsia and other elements thought likely to resist e. Operation Tannenberg. Fromdisease and hunger also began to reduce the population. Poles were deported in large numbers to work as forced labour in Germany: eventually about a million were deported, and many died in Sesso video Kursk. The estimates vary; Prof. There were alsorefugees from areas occupied by Germany, most of them JewsInitially the Soviet occupation gained support among some members of the linguistic minorities who had chafed under the nationalist policies of the Second Polish Republic.
Much of the Ukrainian population initially welcomed the unification with the Soviet Ukraine because twenty years earlier their attempt at self-determination failed during both the Polish—Ukrainian War and the Ukrainian—Soviet War. There were large groups of prewar Sesso video Kursk citizens, notably Jewish youth and, to a lesser extent, the Ukrainian peasants, sesso video Kursk saw the Soviet power as an opportunity to start political or social activity outside their traditional ethnic or cultural groups.
Their enthusiasm however faded with time as it became clear that the Soviet repressions were aimed at all groups equally, regardless of their political stance.
British historian Simon Sebag Montefiore states that Soviet terror in the occupied eastern Polish lands was as cruel and tragic as the Nazis' in the west. The Soviets also executed about 65, Poles. Soldiers of the Red Army and their officers behaved like conquerors, looting and stealing Polish treasures. When Stalin was told about it, he answered: "If there is no ill will, sesso video Kursk [the soldiers] can be pardoned". In one notorious massacre, the NKVD-the Soviet secret police—systematically sesso video Kursk 21, Poles, among them 14, former Polish officers, including political leaders, government officials, and intellectuals.
Some 4, of these were uncovered in mass graves in Katyn Forest by the Nazis in sesso video Kursk, who then invited an international group of neutral representatives and doctors to study sesso video Kursk corpses and confirm Soviet guilt, but the findings from the study were denounced by the Allies as "Nazi propaganda".
The Soviet Union had ceased to recognize the Polish state at the start of the invasion. The Soviets therefore did not classify Polish military prisoners as prisoners of war but as rebels against the new legal government of Western Ukraine and Western Byelorussia. The Poles and the Soviets re-established diplomatic relations in sesso video Kursk, following the Sikorski-Mayski Agreement ; but the Soviets broke them off again in after the Polish government demanded an independent examination of the recently discovered Katyn burial pits.
They moved Sesso video Kursk into the Soviet sphere of influence and shifted the border in Poland to the east, giving Sesso video Kursk more territory.

Q: Laravel post + ajax I'm having a issue with laravel, i have a SPA running and i need to do a form with search and filters by category.
I'm doing this via POST, but i need to run the query again with the filters, with ajax so the page don't reload.
But how can i do that? I need to run just that query and reload the div, the ajax part is okay, but i don't know how to run just that query without running every query to "populate" the content from the page.
Sorry if wasn't clear enough, my english is not to good.
Thanks in advice!
Controller:
public function index()
{
    $data['servicos']                   = DB::select('SELECT * FROM servicos WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ORDEM ASC');
    $data['servicos_processo']          = DB::select('SELECT * FROM servicos_processo WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ID ASC');
    $data['servicos_fun']               = DB::select('SELECT * FROM servicos_fun WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ID ASC');
    $data['curriculum_historico']       = DB::select('SELECT * FROM curriculum_historico WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ID DESC');
    $data['curriculum_educacao']        = DB::select('SELECT * FROM curriculum_educacao WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ANO ASC');
    $data['curriculum_coding_skills']   = DB::select('SELECT * FROM curriculum_coding_skills WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ID ASC');
    $data['curriculum_other_skills']    = DB::select('SELECT * FROM curriculum_other_skills WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ID ASC');
    $data['curriculum_testimonials']    = DB::select('SELECT * FROM curriculum_testimonials WHERE ativo = 1 ORDER BY ID ASC');

public function certificados()

    $nome = Request::input('filtro-certificados');
    $data['certificados_last']          = DB::select("SELECT * FROM certificados WHERE ativo = 1 AND nome LIKE '%{$nome}%' ORDER BY data_conclusao DESC LIMIT 9");
    return $data;
}

View:

                @foreach($certificados_last as $certificado)

                        id}}.svg" style="padding:60px" alt="post-image">

                        id}}">

                                {{$certificado->dia_conclusao}}{{$certificado->mes_conclusao}}

                            id}}">{{$certificado->nome}}

                @endforeach

A: Send the post request using axios, jQuery, or whatever client you choose. Include your search and filter parameters.
In Laravel, create the post route that points to a controller method. This method should just return the data directly- do not return a view.
For example:
public function ajaxSearch(Request $request)
{
    $data = User::where('name', $request->query);

    return $data;
}

Then, use your JavaScript to replace with or insert the new data.

*

*Check out Vue if you haven't already.

Note: Laravel auto-converts the response to jSON.
Use the done() method, like so when using jQuery:
$.post( '/myRouteHere', { name: 'John', time: '2pm' })
    .done(function() {

        // insert / update data

    }).fail(function() {

        alert( "error" );

    });

CardConnect: payment processer moves from Cleveland to King of Prussia

Full Disclosure: CardConnect is a sponsor of Philly Tech Week 2013.
CardConnect, a payment processing firm founded in 2006, quietly relocated its headquarters — and 25 of its employees — from Cleveland to King of Prussia nearly a year ago.
Back then, the company was known as Financial Transaction Services. Now, rebranded as CardConnect, the King of Prussia office employs 50 employees and plans to double that number in the next two years, according to a release.
The company, which aims to streamline payments, reported $251 million in revenue in 2012. CardConnect's customers include the New York Times, Adobe and Jefferson University Hospitals.
CTO Rob Nathan's office at CardConnect headquarters.
Though King of Prussia is now its headquarters, CardConnect has more than 90 employees across the country, including offices in cities like Boca Raton, Fla., Kansas City and Chicago.
We've heard of startups moving halfway across the country but once that employee count breaks double digits, the relocations tend to be more noteworthy. For his reason why, president Jeff Shanahan said it was always his hope that he could bring the company back to the region since he lived in the area before cofounding CardConnect in Cleveland. He cites the region's growing tech community, "well-educated workforce" and proximity to companies CardConnect has acquired, like Princeton Payment Systems, as business reasons for relocating.
Shanahan said he was pleasantly surprised by CardConnect's staffers willingness and enthusiasm to relocate to the area.
"Even those who were unsure at first soon joined in our excitement after visiting the area," he said through a spokeswoman. "It made the rebrand process that much more exciting, creating a 'We're in it together' energy among everyone who moved here on this adventure together."

Mafaldine, also known as reginette (Italian for "little queens") or simply mafalda or mafalde, is a type of ribbon-shaped pasta. It is flat and wide, usually about 1 cm (½ inch) in width, with wavy edges on both sides. It is prepared similarly to other ribbon-based pasta such as linguine and fettuccine. It is usually served with a more delicate sauce.

Mafaldine were named in honor of Princess Mafalda of Savoy (thus the alternative name "little queens").

Online learning has leaped to the forefront of higher education, and technology has allowed many colleges to offer long-distance learning across many fields of study. According to one educational study, women, in particular, are taking advantage of these classes, with over 50 percent of women of all races and ethnicities earning both associates and bachelor's degrees online. Fitting online classes into a busy life can be a challenge for any woman; however, there are a few tips to keep in mind that can increase your chances of academic success.
Some students waste time and money by taking online courses and then deciding their chosen career path is not for them after all. Then they must start over with a new set of core classes and delay their graduation, which can result in missed employment opportunities and added expenses. To avoid this, browse schools, degree plans, and course descriptions carefully so you can make an informed decision about your long-distance learning opportunities.
For example, if you are considering a Grand Canyon University Nursing degree, make a list of which educational goals you want to achieve, what nursing specialty you see yourself working in, and which degree you will need to complete to accomplish your goals. Making detailed plans for your future can help you remain focused and avoid wasted time and tuition.
Few tools are more helpful to college students than time management, and this can be especially true if you are a woman who is working and raising children as you try to earn your degree. With so many different responsibilities in your life, you may already have time management down pat; however, there are a few strategies you can use to fit online classes into your day or evening without disrupting your schedule.
One way to make the best of your time is to plan out a set time each day to devote to your studies. Choose a time of day that will be free of distractions. Consider getting up an hour earlier or staying up an hour later, depending on what time of day you feel most alert, and devote at least 40-50 minutes to each class. Use an online calendar or bullet journal to track your progress and adjust your study time as needed. Remove distractions from your study area like cell phones, TV's, video games or anything else that might tempt you to be less focused.
Once you choose some classes, it is wise to take a close look at your online syllabus and note when large projects, such as term papers, will be due. Make these dates a priority on your calendar so you can start them a few weeks in advance. Tackling them in small chunks instead of trying to complete them all in one week will create less stress in your life and will likely result in a higher quality project. This can be especially important if you are taking a full load of classes and have several large assignments due at the same time.
Earning a degree does not have to be a challenge you take on alone. Whether you are looking into Grand Canyon University Nursing programs or want a career in health systems, your family can become a major support system throughout your education. Create a chore calendar so your kids know when they need to help out, and let your family members know when you need to study for an exam or finish a project so you can work at home without interruption. Having dedicated support can mean the difference between educational success and failure.
With so much that happens in your life, you might wonder if taking online classes is a viable way to further your education. However, with proper planning, dedication, and help from your loved ones, you can achieve your career goals without having to sacrifice other roles in your life that help define you as a woman.

FDA Approves First Treatment for Rare Genetic Disorder in Children
Gabrielle Ientile
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a debilitating, progressive and often disfiguring disease that usually starts early in life.
The FDA has granted approval to the first treatment for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.
Selumetinib (Koselugo, AstraZeneca) was approved by the FDA through Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designations, as well as Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations, in an effort by the FDA to maintain prioritizing search for treatment for life-threatening diseases during the COVID-19 crisis.
"Everyone's daily lives have been disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in this critical time we want patients to know that the FDA remains committed to making patients with rare tumors and life threatening diseases, and their unique needs, a top priority. We continue to expedite product development for these patients," Richard Pazdur, MD, director of the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence and acting director of the Office of Oncologic Diseases in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.
NF1 is a rare genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes tumors to grow on nerves, and often affects pediatric patients since its onset is early in life. The disease affects approximately 1 out of every 3000 infants, and is characterized by pigmentation, neurologic and skeletal impairment, and heightened risk for development of benign and malignant tumors throughout one's life. Of those who have NF1, 30% to 50% develop 1 or more plexiform neurofibromas (PNs).
Selumetinib has been approved for use in particular patients who suffer from symptomatic, inoperable PN, in which tumors involving the nerve sheaths (the coating surrounding nerve fibers) can grow in any place in the body – including the face, extremities, spine, and areas where organs are affected. The drug works as a kinase inhibitor, resulting in prevention of tumor cell growth.
The approval was based on a clinical trial from the National Cancer Institute. In the trial, 50 pediatric patients with NF1 and inoperable PN – defined as PN that could not be completely removed without substantial morbidity risk – received the recommended dose of selumetinib and engaged in frequent evaluations of changes in tumor size and tumor-related morbidities during the trial. Dosage was 25 mg/m2 orally twice daily until the disease progressed, or until the patient experienced unacceptable adverse effects (AEs). The trial evaluated the overall response rate (ORR), defined as a 20% or more reduction in PN volume on MRI that was confirmed in a follow-up 3 to 6 months later. The ORR was 66% and all patients had a partial response; no patients had complete disappearance of the tumor, but of these patients, 82% had a response lasting 12 months or longer.
The most common AEs included vomiting, rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, dry skin, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain (pain in the body affecting bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves), fever, acneiform rash (acne), stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth and lips), headache, paronychia (infection in the skin that surrounds a toenail or fingernail) and pruritus (itching).
Selumetinib can also cause serious AEs, including heart failure (manifested as ejection fraction decrease, or when the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart is not pumping as well as normal) and ocular toxicity (acute and chronic damage to the eye) including retinal vein occlusion, retinal pigment epithelial detachment and impaired vision.
"We are committed to regulatory flexibility and providing extensive guidance to industry in an effort to bring drugs forward that fulfill unmet medical needs. Koselugo represents this commitment," noted Pazdur. "For the first time, pediatric patients now have an FDA-approved drug to treat plexiform neurofibroma, a rare tumor associated with NF1."
