LOWER EAST SIDE, Manhattan — A mom living in public housing was happy when a crew from the city came to handle a chronic leak in a bedroom, but then they left and never finished the job.
Flor Garcia, who suffers from a respiratory disease and is hooked up to a breathing machine 24 hours a day, said her Baruch Houses apartment is like a construction zone. It's been that way for three weeks, she said.
"It's tough because I can't go to my brother's room because I can't be breathing that," she said. "It's bad for my lungs."
A New York City Housing Authority spokesperson says that following earlier repairs by plumbers, staff confirmed on Feb. 23 there is no current leak issue affecting the unit. Also, a Bricklayer was already scheduled for March 12; plaster and paint work will be scheduled following the completion of brick work.

A Portrait of the Lives of Workers in New York City's 2,483 Chinese Restaurants
A look at the daily lives of immigrants who make the city's ubiquitous Chinese restaurants possible.

For more than a year, writer and photographer Katie Salisbury met with delivery people, cooks, and waiters employed at Chinese restaurants around New York City. She interviewed about two dozen of them about their personal and working lives, hoping to better understand the everyday conditions Chinese food workers face, which might go unnoticed by their patrons. She also photographed them during their daily routines, and the resulting images are currently on view in an exhibition presented by Chashama and the community group Think!Chinatown.

Held in a temporary space on 384 Broadway in Chinatown, Thank You, Enjoy is curated by Salisbury and features work by other Asian-American artists bound by a broad premise: they center on narratives she believes are not typically found in the mainstream. On view are short films and documentaries that touch upon topics from undocumented youth to intergenerational immigrant experiences, by filmmakers including Brian Redondo and Erica Liu. Large-scale photographs by Louis Chan from his ongoing series, My Home, reveal the cramped apartment interiors of Chinese immigrants.
Salisbury, who is herself half-Chinese and the great-granddaughter of a Chinese immigrant and California restaurateur, contributes what might be the most widely familiar images of the group. As she's found during her research, New York City is home to 2,483 Chinese restaurants; their neon signs are ubiquitous, as are their delivery men whose cargo is loaded with oyster pails.
Katie Salisbury, "J's Wong" (2016)
Her photographs are shot documentary style, and each is accompanied in the show with explanatory texts. They tell stories of Chinese workers, saddled with debt to smugglers, who work long hours for pay rates that can dip below minimum wage; of cooks who spend their entire day standing over hot woks; of delivery men whose trusty mode of transportation, the eBike, has been banned by the city. Yet, none of her subjects seem defeated; instead individuals always appear dedicated to their duties despite the obstacles.
"I wanted to show that they have agency, and sometimes they accept the reality of the choice they've made," Salisbury told Hyperallergic. "There's a level of sacrifice you make to come here, which I think is often part of the narrative of immigrant communities."
Among the locations she photographed for the project are Chinese restaurants in her neighborhood of Crown Heights, J's Wong and Happy Wok — open 365 days a year — and the always-bustling Nom Wah dim sum parlor in Manhattan's Chinatown. There are also scenes from employment agencies, where she first met many of her subjects before developing deeper relationships with them, often through WeChat social media program. The photographs in the exhibition represent only a portion of the stories she's heard over the past year.
Salisbury also photographed rallies organized by the Chinese Staff and Worker's Association, to raise awareness about local elections, The SWEAT bill, and other issues. The images of individuals speaking out against injustices not only emphasize how much conditions for the workers can be improved, but they also describe their identities far beyond what they do for a living. To participate in the democratic system is one marker of the American experience; their vocal activism speaks to everything immigrants have worked hard to attain as they've spread roots in America.
"There are a lot of harsh things about working in the Chinese restaurant industry, but I didn't want it all to be negative," Salisbury said. "I didn't want these people to seem like victims because they definitely are not, in most cases. They've chosen to come here, and they've built lives for themselves, and in many ways, they're success stories."

Starc's six-fer sets up Australia's victory
Australia took their tri-series record to two wins in two games, beating India at the MCG on Sunday by four wickets, though they cut it a bit finer than they'd have liked in chasing 268 to win.
Mitchell Starc was the key man for the Aussies during their bowling stint, taking six wickets for 43 runs, the best ODI figures by an Aussie on home soil. It was also the second-best effort by anyone in an ODI in Australia.
As such, Rohit Sharma's excellent century went in vain, as the score wasn't big enough to defend on a good batting deck. Aaron Finch's 96, and a pair of 40s in the top order, made sure the collapse at the end wasn't catastrophic.
India won the toss and opted to bat first, looking to their impressive top order. The Aussies handed a debut to paceman Gurinder Sandhu, who took Ajinkya Rahane's wicket in the eighth over.
Starc was on fire from the get-go, bagging Shikhar Dhawan for two in the opening over. Rohit was the other opener, and he tried his hardest to keep the knock on the go despite his partners abandoning him.
The only other batsman to make it past the teens was Suresh Raina, who added 51 to the score. Rohit was forced to watch as Starc removed MS Dhoni, Axhar Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, before also taking his wicket. Rohit had made 138 off 139 balls.
The chase seemed effortless for the first half of the knock, as Finch and David Warner put on 51 runs together. Warner was out for 24, bringing Shane Watson to the middle. He and Finch added 64 to the tally.
Watson was out for 41, bowled by Patel, so Steve Smith joined the cause and continued his impressive form. He and Finch put on 101 runs, though the Test skipper was unable to reach a half ton, out for 47 to Mohammed Shami.
Finch departed in the next over for 96, and suddenly the chase wasn't as simple as initially thought. Glenn Maxwell was out for 20, and George Bailey for five, leaving the rest of the chase to Brad Haddin and James Faulkner.
They needed 15 runs off the last two overs, but the final six balls were not required as Haddin hit a four, and Faulkner two more, including the boundary that won the match.

1. "An atheist may, of course, also feel clean after taking a bath and dirty without one, but the mikveh ritual, associating outer hygiene with the recovery of a particular kind of inner purity, like so many other symbolic practices promoted by religions, manages to use a physical activity to support a spiritual lesson."

2. "Colleague, given that I'm detached to go hunting bandits, I'd be grateful for the continued loan of your horses until we return. A squadron of cavalry could make all the difference when we're chasing around the forests after shadows.'Licinius gave him a jaundiced look. 'You've got sticky fingers, young man. Every soldier that comes into contact with your cohort seems to end up as part of it. Hamian archers, borrowed cavalrymen. I'll even wager you that the half-century of legionaries Dubnus borrowed from the Sixth will end up in your establishment. And yes, you can extend the loan if you think it'll do you any good, and you can keep that decurion you promoted to command them."

3. "I promoted myself on Twitter and Facebook as hard as possible, nonstop. People started realizing that if they commented on my videos, I'd reply to their comment, so I started getting a lot more views and comments."

Author: Bertrand Russell
6. "One day the stars will be as familiar to each man as the landmarks, the curves, and the hills on the road that leads to his door, and one day this will be an airborne life. But by then men will have forgotten how to fly; they will be passengers on machines whose conductors are carefully promoted to a familiarity with labelled buttons, and in whose minds knowledge of the sky and the wind and the way of weather will be extraneous as passing fiction."
Author: Beryl Markham
7. "However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious."
Author: Bjarne Stroustrup
8. "If we promoted justice and charity among men, we should be playing directly into the Enemy's hands; but if we guide them to the opposite behaviour, this sooner or later produces (for He permits it to produce) a war or a revolution, and the undisguisable issue of cowardice or courage awakes thousands of men from moral stupor. This, indeed, is probably one of the Enemy's motives for creating a dangerous world—a world in which moral issues really come to the point. He sees as well as you do that courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty, or mercy, which yields to danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions."
Author: C.S. Lewis
9. "Freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science."
Author: Charles Darwin
10. "I don't know how much influence we really had, because we never put our pictures on the albums or anything and we never really promoted the Talking Heads connection, because we wanted to keep it separate from Talking Heads."
Author: Chris Frantz
11. "To be a jazz freedom fighter is to attempt to galvanize and energize world-weary people into forms of organization with accountable leadership that promote critical exchange and broad reflection. The interplay of individuality and unity is not one of uniformity and unanimity imposed from above but rather of conflict among diverse groupings that reach a dynamic consensus subject to questioning and criticism. As with a soloist in a jazz quartet, quintet or band, individuality is promoted in order to sustain and increase the creative tension with the group--a tension that yields higher levels of performance to achieve the aim of the collective project."
Author: Cornel West
12. "Their coverage on the Fox News Channel has been atrocious. The stuff that comes out of Sean Hannity's mouth has been infuriating. The stuff that Bill O'Reilly says has been illogical. You go up and down the schedule and it's insanity over there. The number of lies, perpetuated, promoted by Fox News is just shameful and it hurts everybody."

17. "What a study in importunity, in earnestness, in persistence, promoted and propelled under conditions which would have disheartened any but a heroic, constant soul. [Jesus] teaches that an answer to prayer is conditional upon the amount of faith that goes to the petition. To test this, He delays the answer. the superficial pray-er subsides into silence, when thteanswer is delayed. But eh man of prayer hangs on, and on. The Lord recognizes and honors his faith, and gives him a rich and abundant answer to His faith evidencing, importunate prayer."
Author: E.M. Bounds
18. "The use of method as the criterion of science abolishes theoretical relevance. As a consequence, all propositions concerning facts will be promoted to the dignity of science, regardless of their relevance, as long as they result from a correct use of method. Since the ocean of facts is infinite, a prodigious expansion of science in the sociological sense becomes possible, giving employment to scientistic technicians and leading to the fantastic accumulation of irrelevant knowledge through huge "research projects" whose most interesting features is the quantifiable expense that has gone into their production."
Author: Eric Voegelin
19. "There could be no eldest son for her, and younger sons were indelicate things, necessary, but not to be much spoken of. Younger sons had none of the privileges of obscurity; it was their plain duty to remain hidden until some disaster perchance promoted them to their brother's places, and, since this was their function, it was desirable that they should keep themselves wholly suitable for succession."
Author: Evelyn Waugh
20. "It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions; but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power."
Author: Friedrich List

22. "[C]lass consciousness is not one of our national diseases; we suffer, indeed, from its opposite--the delusion that class barriers are not real. That delusion reveals itself in many forms, some of them as beautiful as a glass eye.

Author: H.L. Mencken
23. "Make (the reader) think the evil, make him think it for himself, and you are released from weak specifications. My values are positively all blanks, save so far as an excited horror, a promoted pity, a created expertness... proceed to read into them more or less fantastic figures."

26. "In the name of speed, Morse and Vail had realized that they could save strokes by reserving the shorter sequences of dots and dashes for the most common letters. But which letters would be used most often? Little was known about the alphabet's statistics. In search of data on the letters' relative frequencies, Vail was inspired to visit the local newspaper office in Morristown, New Jersey, and look over the type cases. He found a stock of twelve thousand E's, nine thousand T's, and only two hundred Z's. He and Morse rearranged the alphabet accordingly. They had originally used dash-dash-dot to represent T, the second most common letter; now they promoted T to a single dash, thus saving telegraph operators uncountable billions of key taps in the world to come. Long afterward, information theorists calculated that they had come within 15 percent of an optimal arrangement for telegraphing English text."

29. "Yes, I'd still have Sonia. And Zia. And so many other things that Karim no longer had. I'd still have the Arabian Sea and Sindhri mangoes, and crabbing with Captain Saleem, who had the most popular boat of all because his business card promoted 'Garunteed no cockroach', and, yes, there's still be those bottles of creamy, flavored milk from Rahat Milk Corner and drives to the airport for coffee and warm sand at the beach and Thai soup at Yuan Tung; yes, Burns Road nihari; yes, student biryani; oh, yes, yes, yes, and all that, and all that again. So why complain? Why contemplate words like 'longing'?"

Author: Lois McMaster Bujold
34. "Soldiers serving in the Military Police and those serving in the Air Corps (the forerunner of the Air Force) about how good a job they thought their service did in recognizing and promoting people of ability. The answer was clear. Military Policemen had a far more positive view of their organization than did enlisted men in the Air Corps. On the face of it, that made no sense. The Military Police had one of the worst rates of promotion in all of the armed forces. The Air Corps had one of the best. The chance of an enlisted man rising to officer status in the Air Corps was twice that of a soldier in the Military Police. So, why on earth would the Military Policemen be more satisfied? The answer, Stouffer famously explained, is that Military Policemen compared themselves only to other Military Policemen. And if you got a promotion in the Military Police, that was such a rare event that you were very happy. And if you didn't get promoted, you were in the same boat as most of your peers—so"
Author: Malcolm Gladwell
35. "You weren't that unhappy. "Contrast him with the Air Corps man of the same education and longevity," Stouffer wrote. His chance of getting promoted to officer was greater than 50 percent. "If he had earned a [promotion], so had the majority of his fellows in the branch, and his achievement was less conspicuous than in the MP's. If he had failed to earn a rating while the majority had succeeded, he had more reason to feel a sense of personal frustration, which could be expressed as criticism of the promotion system." Stouffer's point is that we form our impressions not globally, by placing ourselves in the broadest possible context, but locally—by comparing ourselves to people "in the same boat as ourselves." Our sense of how deprived we are is relative. This is one of those observations that is both obvious and (upon exploration) deeply profound, and it explains all kinds of otherwise puzzling observations. Which do you"

What can you tell me about them?""Morton Zeemeister," he said, indulges in many such activities. He is the heavy one with the pale fur. Normally, he remains away far from the scene of his hoodling, employing agents to execute it for him. The other, Jamie Buckler, is one such. He has hoodled well for Zeemeister over the years and was recently promoted by him to guard his body."

41. "If you work and do pure research in this industry as long as I have – and you actually pay attention and do your homework, then this naked and raw truth stands out -> The supplement world of cancer-fighters, CAD-preventers, health-promoters, magic-water – AND/OR - muscle-builders, fat-burners and weight-loss agents – all of them – already have an over-crowded mass grave-yard of previous magic bullets that would supposedly make your life and/or body better – Yes, so promising and heavily promoted "this" era – but so dead and gone the next – leaving in their wake a trail of mass-consumer confusion – but also leaving their actual intention -> a new generation of passive consumers – those who can't differentiate the sizzle from the steak. Or as W.C. Fields put it so long ago – "There's a sucker born every minute." -> There isn't a supplement on the planet that marks the difference between 'health or ill-health' – or between 'fit or fat.' - or between 'results and stagnation."
Author: Scott Abel
42. "In the most basic terms it was about how when we experience art without critical awareness we consent to the ideas being promoted, either intentionally or unintentionally, by the filmmaker. For instance, if you watch a racist comedian and laugh at his jokes, you are consenting to the prejudices inherent within them. Similarly, if you watch a movie which perpetuates conventional ideas about race, gender, etc., you are consenting to them and not affecting change in any way."

43. "Leadership, Alpha, comes at a cost. You see, we expect that when danger threatens us from the outside, that the person who is actually stronger, the person who is better fed, and the person who is teaming with serotonin and actually has higher confidence than the rest of us; we expect them to run towards the danger to protect us. This is what it means to be a leader. The cost of leadership is self interest. If you're not willing to give up your perks when it matters, then you probably shouldn't get promoted. You might be an authority but you will not be a leader. Leadership comes at a cost. You don't get to do less work when you get more senior, you have to do more work. And the more work you have to do is put yourself at risk to look after others. That is the anthropological definition of what a leader IS.Why Leaders Eat Last: http://vimeo.com/79899786"

48. "Why did you take this job?" I ask. "It doesn't make sense. You're so young—" "It was an honor to be promoted," she says, but the words have a hollow ring. I can see her drawing back into herself, into her role. "Who did you lose?" I ask. Carmen flashes a smile that is at once dazzling and sad. "I'm a Librarian, Miss Bishop. I've lost everyone."

49. "So [Steve Jobs] had the Pixar building designed to promote encounters and unplanned collaborations ... "to make people get out of their offices and mingle in the central atrium with people they might not otherwise see." The front doors and main stairs and corridors all led to the atrium, the cafe and the mailboxes were there, the conference rooms had windows that looked out onto it, and the six-hundred-seat theater and two smaller screening rooms all spilled into it. "Steve's theory worked from day one, "Lasseter recalled. "I kept running into people I hadn't seen for months. I've never seen a building that promoted collaboration and creativity as well as this one."

Brand wrote on the first page of the first edition, "A realm of intimate, personal power is developing- power of the individual to conduct his own education, find his own inspiration, shape his own environment, and share his adventure with whoever is interested. Tools that aid this process are sought and promoted by the Whole Earth Catalog."

El Tour of Europe '76 fue una serie de conciertos que The Rolling Stones realizó en Europa Continental y Gran Bretaña en la primavera de 1976.

Historia
La demanda de boletos para esta gira fue alta. El 1 de abril la productora GP Productions anunció que la demanda para la fecha en el Earls Court de Londres que habían recibido cerca de 1 millón de cartas para reservas de boletos. En consecuencia, 3 fechas más se sumaron a la gira. Otras fechas también incluyeron viajes a Zagreb, Croacia. Este era su primer viaje a un país comunista desde abril de 1967, donde se presentaron en Varsovia.

El tour comenzó pocos días después del lanzamiento del álbum Black and Blue.

Los shows suelen ser rápidos, con un Mick Jagger que muestra una nueva forma de cantar. Los shows en el Les Abbatoirs de París del 6 y 7 de junio fueron parte del álbum en vivo de 1977 Love You Live. La tragedia azotó a la banda cuando la noche del 6 de junio Keith Richards fue avisado por su mujer, Anita Pallenberg, de la muerte de su bebé de 10 semanas de vida Tara, a causa del Síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante.

Músicos
 Mick Jagger - voz, guitarra, armónica
 Keith Richards - guitarra, voces
 Ron Wood - guitarra, voces
 Bill Wyman - bajo
 Charlie Watts - batería
 Ian Stewart - piano en algunas canciones
Músicos adicionales
 Billy Preston - piano
 Ollie E. Brown - percusión

Setlist muy similar al del Tour anterior, la lista de canciones también es un poco larga que los años anteriores y con variaciones más frecuentes, con otras siete u ocho canciones que hacen apariciones esporádicas. Nuevamente se ignora "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". "All Down the Line" se tocó en los dos shows del Festhalle en Fráncfort, Alemania. Muchas veces no hubo bis, por lo tanto, "Sympathy for the Devil" no era interpretada en esas ocasiones.

You've got your opinions, I have mine and we've been hashing it out for what, ten years now? And I've come back with the same comments every time. If they distroyed engines by letting dirt in, people would not buy them, and if it could be proven, there would be lawsuits. I've seen a lot of people use K&N pods on numerous bikes with none of the Ill effects you state. Like with the UNI's, you need to use filter oil, otherwise they pass dirt through them, just like with the UNI's. The only issues I've seen with K&N pods are damaged pistons from lack of tuning (too lean).
Alright, filters on, and it took it for a short ride. It revved better with the filters on (who knew, right? ). Seems like it had decent power. Only issue was a bit of hesitation when applying throttle from cruise. I won't fault it too much. It was 40 degrees and the temp gauge hardly moved during the whole ride (less than 5 miles). I'll check back in once I have a +60 degrees ride on it.

Torey Krug: Is a Long-Term Deal in the Works?
February 22, 2014 by Kirk Vance
The first 57 games of the regular season have seen Torey Krug build a case for Rookie of the Year consideration. Among rookies, Krug currently ranks top five in assists and points, while sitting in the top ten for goals and plus/minus. To put that into perspective, he is the only defensemen to place among the top ten in any of the three offensive categories. In addition to his impressive rookie season, he left his mark on the Bruins fan base in the spring, lighting the lamp four times in 15 playoffs games as the team marched to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Krug's performance to date has done wonders for Boston's power play and has, in the bigger picture, contributed greatly to the team's overall success. His elite offensive production from the back end has raised the question, will Torey Krug be the next player that the Boston Bruins lock-up with a long term contract extension?
When the Bruins lured Krug to Boston in the spring of 2012, they did so with contract incentives. The most notable of these incentives was the guarantee that he would finish the season with the NHL club. By spending the remainder of the 2011-2012 season in the NHL, he was able to burn the first year of his entry-level deal.
[Keep Coast to Coast tickets in mind for your Boston Bruins tickets needs]
Fast forward two years, Krug has become an essential part of the Bruins roster. He's the quarterback of Boston's top power play unit, a group that has dramatically improved upon their performance from recent years. His speed and vision has been immensely helpful on the breakout, helping to shore up an area of concern for the team.
Boston already has six defensemen under contract for next season, with Krug and Matt Bartkowski set to become restricted free agents on July 1st. Although the cap is expected to increase next season, the Bruins won't have a lot of room to operate for new deals. Their offseason to-do list will include re-signing Reilly Smith (a pending RFA), re-signing or replacing Jarome Iginla, and finding a backup goaltender. In addition to these new deals, the Bruins will likely carry a few million dollars of salary bonuses into their payroll for next year, further chipping away at their cap space.
So where does this leave Krug?
It is hard to envision a scenario where the Bruins enter next year without Krug on the roster. That said, the Bruins will likely be looking to sign Krug to a bridge contract, similar to the two year contract that Brad Marchand signed in 2011. The reasoning for that approach in Krug's case would be to financially reward him for his contributions thus far, while giving the team more time to determine his long-term value to the team.
The Bruins hold a lot of leverage in these negotiations. Any team that makes Krug an offer as a restricted free agent would be obligated to pay Boston with draft pick compensation. Essentially, signing Krug is more costly to every other team than it would be for the Bruins. Additionally, the Bruins already have a full complement of defensemen under contract.
How far will the Bruins go to extend Torey Krug? (Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports)
What will Krug's contract numbers look like?
On a short-term deal, the soon-to-be 23 year old will likely be looking at somewhere in the range of $2 million annually. Johnny Boychuk is a more critical piece to the Bruins defensive core at the moment, logging more than 20 minutes a game, making it unlikely the Bruins would pay Krug in the same ballpark. Boychuk's annual salary is currently at $3.36 million, which would be a jumping off point for Krug's camp, although the opportunity to increase his value and re-negotiate in two or three years should be appealing enough to convince them to compromise on the dollars.
Krug's game has improved exponentially since joining the Bruins organization, making it a no-brainer for Boston to re-sign him. I wouldn't be surprised to see the team reach an agreement with Krug prior to the summer, coming in at two years and $2.25 million per year.
What do you think? Will Krug get more years? More Dollars? Let me know in the comments or on twitter @kirkvance.

Boomers Said: "A Penny for Your Shoes"
Mister Boomer needs a new pair of shoes. He hasn't had much luck in his search. Cost notwithstanding, the "modern" styles of angular side cuts, futuristic heels and crazy toe shapes aren't conducive to this stage in life. Nonetheless, sitting among the rows of "footwear systems" (as opposed to "shoes"), sat a familiar sight: a penny loafer.
The history of the penny loafer in the U.S. dates back a few decades before the boomer era. It was the 1930s when the "loafer" was invented for the American market. After Esquire magazine produced a photo shoot of Norwegian farmers, standing with their dairy cows, in what was known as a "loaf" area before the cows were milked, footwear gurus found inspiration. Some say this style of slip-on shoe was originally inspired by shoes worn by Norwegian fisherman rather than farmers, but it appears the Esquire photo layout is what caught the attention of G.H. Bass, a boot maker who's factory was in Wilton, Maine. In 1934 Bass developed and sold a slip-on shoe — a loafer — styled after those worn by Norwegians. He called his loafer a Weejun to reflect this influence. The footwear designers added a strip of leather across the tongue of the shoe, with a small cutout in it. Legend has it the shape of the original opening was a reminder of an open mouth during a kiss. Mr. Bass's wife kissed her husband on the cheek each morning as he strode off to work.
The penny loafer became a big deal for early boomers when Ivy League students began wearing them with their khakis. Adopted by "prep school" students, the loafers became a part of the "preppie" style of dress. Some students slipped pennies into the slots of the shoes as their own personal fashion statement, and the "penny loafer" was born. Legend has it placing a "lucky penny" in a shoe was derived from the practice of putting a penny in a bride's shoe on her wedding day to give the couple good luck and wealth.
Others noticed the slot could easily hold a dime, which happened to be the cost of a pay phone call at the time. Dimes placed into the slot of each shoe meant that you'd always have money for a phone call if the need should ever arise. The craze — whether worn with pennies, nickels or dimes inserted into the shoe's slots — was immensely popular until the sneaker started making inroads into the footwear of the 1960s. Still, the penny loafer remained a staple among dress footwear, for both men and women, but especially for men. It fell slightly out of favor in the late 1970s and '80s for non-preppies, but appears to have have made a comeback as a timeless classic.
Mister Boomer's brother owned a pair in his high school days. Mister B, however, can't recall ever owning a pair of penny loafers before his college days. When the heels of his blue suede saddle shoes finally gave out, he purchased a pair of vinyl penny loafers that he wore the rest of his college days when sneakers were impractical, such as in winter weather.
Somewhere in the late 1990s, Mister B bought a pair of leather penny loafers for work. The shoes lasted for years, and when the heels gave way, he had new ones put on. Once the soles gave out, the shoes were retired. Now he's wondering, is it time for a new pair?
What do you think of penny loafers, boomers? Are they timeless classics or relics of a time long passed?

Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education confidentially paid $110,000 to settle teacher's sexual orientation discrimination lawsuit.
On May 17, 2016, the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education (Union County) agreed to pay $110,000 to a gay teacher who claimed that he was let go from his third grade teaching position because of his sexual orientation.
In his suit, Matthew Richards, who started teaching at the William J. McGinn Elementary School in August 2011, said that he received nothing but positive reviews until he "announced his intention to marry his gay partner" in January 2014. Shortly thereafter, he claimed that an unnamed parent falsely accused him of keeping her son after class "with an innuendo of sexual impropriety." He claimed that the same parent stirred up other parents "to support her vendetta against Richards."
Shortly thereafter, Richards said that the principal's previously positive reviews became highly negative and resulted in his dismissal at the end of the 2013-14 school year. He claimed "that there was a pre-planned determination to terminate him as a teacher because of his sexual orientation, with his alleged poor teaching performance to be used as a pretext."
The case is captioned Richards v. Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education, et al, Superior Court Docket No. UNN-L-3990-14 and Richards' attorney was Dennis Calo of River Edge.. Case documents are on-line here.
The settlement agreement contains a confidentiality clause, which prevents the parties to the suit from publicly disclosing the settlement terms. Fortunately, however, these confidentiality clauses do not trump the public's right to obtain copies of settlement agreements that arise out of lawsuits in which a government agency or official is a defendant.
None of Richards's allegations have been proven or disproven in court. Settlement agreements typically state that payment does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing by any of the defendants. All that is known for sure is that the Scotch Plains-Fanwood school district or its insurer, for whatever reason, decided that it would rather pay Richards $110,000 than take the matter to trial. Perhaps the defendants' decision to settle was done to save further legal expense and the costs of trying what were in fact exaggerated or meritless claims. Or, perhaps the claims were true and the defendants wanted to avoid being embarrassed at trial. This is the problem when cases settle before trial–it is impossible to know the truth of what really happened.

"The Nether" @ Third Rail Rep
I first encountered the work of Jennifer Haley in "Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom" Like that show, this production is set in the world of virtual-reality. "The Nether" is a place so real that most of society's functions take place within it, such as primary and higher-education. It is a place where some "citizens" elect to stay permanently within it. There is also an unspecified disaster which has decimated much of the real-world, at least in terms of vegetation.
The story centers around the interrogation of Mr. Sims, the proprietor of a "realm" known as "The Hideaway" where "guests" can engage in behavior certainly unacceptable in the real world. In Michael O'Connell's hands, he is a cold rationalist, which makes him all the more unsettling. Most disturbing of all, however is Agatha Olson as Iris, the "child" victim.
The set also deserves special mention, while it is spare, the "static-curtain" is a brilliant device to divide the real and virtual.
Due to a whirlwind of openings, I got to "The Nether" a little late, and it only runs through Oct. 22, but I hope you will see it, because it is the most provocative show of the early Season.

There are five basic instruments needed for an accurate record of the weather. A rain gauge, anemometer (wind gauge), thermometer, barometer and weathervane. 1.Rain gauge. These come in all shapes and sizes from a basic glass jar with incremental measurements on the side, to a wireless rain gauge which can be placed anywhere in your garden and remotely records data such as current rainfall total, current rainfall rate per hour and daily, weekly or monthly totals.
They can also be self-emptying allowing you to measure large precipitation amounts over a period of time. 2.Anemometer (wind gauge). This is a device used to measure the speed of the wind.
Its most basic form is a cup-anemometer consisting of four hemispherical shafts mounted horizontally to each other on a vertical shaft. Anemometers can be split into 2 broad groups, hand held and fixed. A fixed wind gauge can measure the wind speed at a given location, and also can provide historical measurements such as average wind speed and maximum gust.
A hand held anemometer meanwhile will generally just display the current wind strength, however is extremely flexible as it can be carried anywhere so you can measure the wind speed at the coast or on the top of a mountain. 3.Thermometer. These devices of course measure the temperature. Thermometers have progressed a huge amount since the days of a simple mercury thermometer.
Now wireless is all the rage, and from the comfort of your favourite armchair you can check the current, maximum or minimum temperatures and have it displayed in °C or °F. So if you are a keen gardener you will be able to judge how cold it is outside and decide whether or not to cover your more sensitive plants. 4.Barometer.
Now barometers measure the atmospheric pressure and again can be used to see if the pressure is rising or falling or steady, providing a good indication of the near future weather. However barometers are so much more than a weather instrument, they can be a work of art. Ornamental barometers grace the walls of many a home, and I can remember as a child tapping our barometer every day to see if the pressure was changing and if the weather was going to be 'fine' or 'stormy'. Of course technology has caught up with air pressure too, so digital barometers are widely available and, as in the instruments above, can be used to measure atmospheric trends aiding in a more accurate picture of the coming weather. 5.Weathervanes.
Quite simply the weathervane measures which direction the wind is blowing from. A key component to any weather forecast. But, as with a barometer, they can also be an aesthetical addition to your garden, or roof top! There is now an almost unlimited range of designs ,the more popular styles including animals, birds, sports and many others. It is also possible to have your own hand crafted, designer weathervane.
All these weather recording instruments are widely available as individual units or bundled as a weather station. Whatever your reasons for recording the weather, be it as a hobby or as a necessary part of your profession, enjoy the weather whatever it throws at you!.

Bollywood Interview
'Make Mulk And Pink A 100 Crore Film, And I Won't Have To Do A Judwaa 2': Taapsee Pannu
The Manmariziyaan actress on making her peace with nepotism in Bollywood and still receiving flak for doing Judwaa 2
Tapsee Pannu is having a great year. She's received praise for her performances in the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Soorma and Anubhav Sinha-directed Mulk, while her next film, Anurag Kashyap's Manmarziyaan will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. She spoke to us about her learnings from her five years in Bollywood, making her peace with nepotism, and receiving flak for doing Judwaa 2. Edited excerpts from the interview:
Anupama Chopra: What's the struggle of being an outsider? You said that there are actors who have refused to work with you because they don't think you're an A-list star. How do you process that?
Taapsee Pannu: That used to happen a year or so back, after Pink as well. Lately its been changing a little bit but its not like, 'She should be the first choice'. If the recommendation list has ended then my chance will probably come but it's still not the first one. And it is a struggle. People say that nepotism doesn't exist or does exist. I mean it's okay and it exists. I knew about it when I entered the film industry, and that I'm going to have to make my way through it. Yes, sometimes it hurts when a role goes from right under your nose because someone just called up and said, 'Please take my daughter or relative.' That does happen and it hurts for a bit but then you can't sit and grieve for long, you have to move ahead.
Like, I'll give you a lot of examples – a magazine cover, where they still don't think I am capable enough to be on the cover page. It took me five years to sit across a table with you to give this interview. How many times will I have to prove that I can do a good job? And there are so many others who probably even before their first films get this honour. Yeah, it is not fair, but it's not like I didn't know about it. I knew about it and signed up for it and I am working my way through it, and happily so.
Sometimes it hurts when a role goes from right under your nose because someone just called up and said, 'Please take my daughter or relative.' That does happen and it hurts for a bit but then you can't sit and grieve for long, you have to move ahead.
AC: Do you read what's written about you?
TP: I used to before but now I don't. Now I only read reviews when I do films like Mulk, and Pink. When I'm doing a Judwaa, I don't.
AC: Speaking of which, I don't know if you said this in connection to Judwaa but you did say in an interview that there are times when I say to myself, 'Do I compromise and do something that's for the betterment of my career?' What is that struggle like? Of saying 'okay this is a project that will perhaps take me five steps further but doesn't speak to my capabilities as an actor'.
TP: So I don't remember when I said this. Maybe I would've said it when I was shifting genres, changing gears. If I said with respect to films like Chasme Baddor or Judwaa, then honestly so because you need to do certain films to get into a certain bracket of actors so that people can come and see the films you eventually want them to see. It's like a barter. So that's what I do.
AC: So one for them and then one for you?
TP: And I don't mind it because I enjoy dancing and I enjoy looking beautiful, every girl does. So I don't mind doing that once in a while so that I can get an audience that will come and watch a Mulk later on. So that's kind of a barter for you, the day when films like Pink, Mulk, Baby, Shabana start crossing that golden 100 crore mark, I won't have to do films for the sake of getting an audience anymore. Then it will be purely my choice.
AC: I'm a big fan of David Dhawan, I've loved his movies from Aankhen. But what bothered me about Judwaa 2 was the underlying misogyny in it. It just bothered me that you would refer to a middle-aged woman as a 'khattara gadi'. How do you in your head get around that? Or do you just see it differently?
TP: So, I'll tell you what, it depends on how you perceive that character who's saying these things. So you perceive that character as a hero, or a villain or not really a heroic person. It depends on my perception. I'll give you another example on the same lines. After Sanju released or Soorma released and Mulk released, and I went for a couple of interviews and they were like, 'How does it feel that they were celebrating this guy who was a drug addict, and who slept with so many women?' I said, 'You are the ones who made that a 350 crore film, why are you asking me that right now?' It depends on the perception of the audience, we are not saying that this person is a hero and you should follow and be like this person. It's not a Mulk where we are trying to portray a real picture. So as an audience it's up to you, you want to take that person as a hero and celebrate him or he's just a funny man who shouldn't be taken too seriously. So it's up to you where you draw the line.
AC: So is there a tangible impact of a Judwaa 2 on your career? Can you see things change drastically?
TP: Yes, I do. Because just before, people were about to stereotype me saying she can only do these intense and intelligent roles, here comes Judwaa and everyone was shocked. Of course, I still get hate messages for doing that film. But then I tell them that make my Mulk and Pink a 100 crore film, I won't do such films then. So until then, I will keep doing it.
AC: If there was one thing you could change about Bollywood, what would it be?
TP: I just hope soon things become fair and square for people from the outside. I meet so many people who have their own baggage, they need to live up to a certain name, and I totally understand that. But it takes so many films for us to even build an image. So at least I should get a fair meeting and not be told on the phone, 'Sorry this won't happen because so and so is already in the queue.' So it is getting fair, otherwise I wouldn't have been sitting here right now. But we still have to go ahead.
AC: Did you ever think of walking away and just giving it all up?
TP: I did shed a tear. Not howled, but wondered how it could happen to me. And it happened not at any early stage but after the dates were discussed. That broke my heart. And then you read in the papers that people are saying nepotism doesn't exist – let's accept it. There's nothing wrong in it. Even I would try to push my kid in whichever field he wants to. It's okay. But just gracefully accept it.

How Poems Work: Meanings, techniques and effects in 100 poems from Beowulf to the Iraq War
Readers of poetry are often told to leave poems alone - to learn them by heart or to enjoy how they sound and leave it at that. This is all very well, except for those readers who have to study poetry at school or university. Or other readers who don't yet enjoy poems because they are daunted by their seemingly impenetrable meanings or inaccessible techniques.
In this annotated anthology, Robert Gullifer and Matthew Jenkinson demystify poetry while showing that there are many good reasons to pick poems apart. From Beowulf to the Iraq War, a millennium of poetry is presented to give readers a sense of how poems have evolved since we first started writing them down.
The publication of How Poems Work has been made possible by the generous support of the Warden and Fellows of New College, Oxford through the New College Ludwig Humanities Research Fund.
Historical backgrounds, meanings, techniques and effects are explained and analysed clearly and logically to help readers understand what poets have been trying to say to us across the centuries. At the same time, major themes that have recurred in poetry are highlighted, so general readers, teachers and students can navigate the poems as they wish: by time period, by technique, or by theme.
This book has been designed so it is useful to anyone interested in learning about or teaching poetry, as well as those revisiting poems and poets they may have already encountered. Those poems and poets have been carefully selected to ensure that How Poems Work covers much of the existing poetic canon while broadening it to include diverse historically important poets who have been previously overlooked, or to include less well-known poems by already canonical poets.
From Dryden to Larkin, this wonderful anthology features not just some of the finest poems ever written, but also insightful ways of thinking critically about them. This book would be an excellent accompaniment to any serious student of literature or indeed anyone who simply loves poetry." -- Carl Hendrick, Wellington College
Anthologies of poetry often expect so much of their reader and a lot of the poems' meanings can be missed. This book is different. The annotations give all readers a way in; unlocking the secrets of the poems by offering insightful commentary of context, language use, and effects. This is a must-have for anyone teaching or studying poetry; but what's even more exciting about this book, is it's for anyone who wants to enjoy great works of poetry, whilst being helped to understand it a little better. -- Claire Hill, Head of English and Media Studies, Dover Grammar School for Girls
'How Poems Work' is an excellent tool for English teachers looking to enrich and improve curriculum content, explore the richness and beauty of English literature and develop the understanding of complex concepts and forms relating to poetry in the classroom. The book's key strength, for me, is its structure. Each poem includes a meticulously researched section on the background to the poet followed by an exploration of the poem's form and literary devices. A great starting point for teaching. Furthermore, the authors have done something incredibly useful for teachers: they have made connections between poems on several levels. They have linked poems together by poetic device, theme or form. Explore how various poets use metaphor differently. Explore how the sonnet of form varies over time. Explore how the different types of people view the same issue. An intelligent and insightful journey over time through the medium of poetry and a very useful tool for the classroom. -- Chris Curtis, Head of English
'Poetry has the potential to move us, challenge us and enrich our lives - it is the most fascinating of art forms. Yet for many, it remains a mystery, dense and challenging to get to the heart of. This fascinating book is an essential read for those who want to begin a journey in poetry, or poetry lovers who want to have their understanding of their favourite poems further developed. By walking us through the canon of wonderfully selected poetry, the authors provide a road map for how poetry has evolved over time. Each poem is explored in detail; the authors passion for the poems they unpick is clear to any reader. I finished 'How Poems Work' informed, challenged and inspired - highly recommended!' — Jamie Thom, English teacher, author of Slow Teaching and host of the Tes English podcast
As an English teacher, I've been teaching poetry for almost twenty years now. If I'd had this book I would have been a much more confident practitioner. First of all, the breadth of poetry included is astonishing for a text like this: from Chaucer to MacNeice, Spenser to Larkin, you could throw it in the air, let it fall and it d be open at one of the greatest poems in the English language. However, it's the follow up textual analysis which I think is most useful to the prospective reader, be it a teacher or one who merely enjoys poetry. Succinct yet focused, the writers lead us through the main language techniques used in each poem, walking the reader through each explanation with clarity and precision. I think it may be finding a permanent on my desk. -- Kenny Pieper, English teacher, author

He is Deputy Head Academic of New College School, Oxford, and is the author of several articles and books, including Charles I's Killers in America and Culture and Politics at the Court of Charles II. He is also editor of the Hour-Long Shakespeare series and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

You're reviewing: How Poems Work: Meanings, techniques and effects in 100 poems from Beowulf to the Iraq War
Quality poems however analysis not as in-depth as expected from the blurb and additional reviews on the website.
Review by Jeffon 24/03/2021
I'd read the blurb, I'd read the additional recommendations on the website. It promised 'meanings, techniques and effects are explained and analysed...' and 'the kind of analysis expected in classrooms', along with reviews from Heads of English and the like.
Well, what you get is a fab selection of poems, some (usually broad) background of the poet and less than a page on the meanings, techniques, effects and analysis. Not at all the depth 'expected in classrooms,. You get a brief mention of techniques used, if you are lucky it touches on the why, but often not.
I purchased this to support my teaching of poems and I'm afraid i was disappointed in the content of the analysis.
Yes there's background on most poets, but nothing a quick search on the internet wouldn't find.
From the blurb I was expecting depth and breadth of analysis but unfortunately it didn't deliver.
As an anthology of fab poems, it works, but for me, it is not as it's advertised.

According to a press release made available to the Maravi Post, Vice President and UTM Party President Saulos Chilima had misgivings to the proposal to have former President Joyce Banda's son Roy Kachale as his running mate which has led to Peoples Party pulling out of the Alliance just agreed on last Friday.
But sources close to the talks said Joyce Banda was insisting that Saulos Chilima pick her son from Husband Roy Kachale as his running mate.
"But Chilima has looked at the interests of the nation over the interests of a family. This is what has led to Peoples Party to pull out of the coalition," said the source.
UTM Publicity Director Joseph Chidanti Malunga said the party will come with an official response to the matter later in the day.
Earlier, former President Joyce Banda praised Chilima as the right person with energy to win the presidential election scheduled on May 21 this year.
Meanwhile Former President Joyce Banda is expected to present her nomination papers at COMESA Hall in Blantyre tomorrow at 2pm according to an official program released by the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).
May I congratulate Chilima on being so open given the question at hand. If what we have heard in anything to go by I support Chilima's stand not to agree to such a nasty proposal.
Malawi is not a Kingdom and as such we do not expect anybody including madam Banda to think that only their sons will be ruling Malawi simply because at some point they themselves were given the chance to to do so. It is a shameful thing to think that only their sons and daughters have the right to do this noble job.
What makes them think the have the monopoly of both wisdom and intelligence for this job.
No no no Chilima is right if this was the point of diversion so let it be.

SCACCO aims to ensure greater efficiency and effectiveness to local public administrations in the process of quantification, collection and management of local taxes, ensuring a better capacity for governance, planning and control of the territory to prevent illegal and counter tax evasion, and in particular, seek tax fairness (by verifying the fairness of the property tax and its relationship to income) and bring the administration closer to the citizens and local companies, and simplify and make more efficient and transparent cadastral management.
The process putted in pace will archive these goals through the acquisition of cadastral, not only by "simply" assigning new tasks to the Municipality that ends with the creation of new offices, but also through the transformation of those processes historically managed by the local entity, integrating them with new internal procedures enabling a more effective and efficient economic management of the territory. The system proposed by SCACCO allows the implementation of an horizontal subsidiary in which the primary objective to pursue is not only related to the operational needs of the single office, but also, in a broader view, to the establishment of an environment of common knowledge which should provide benefits to both citizens and local companies.


Bird lovers and nature enthusiasts in Kolkata can rejoice. Migratory birds will soon find a new abode at the Eco-Tourism Park (Prakriti Tirtha) in New Town. The news brought a cheer to the wild life photographers in Kolkata who are passionate about clicking birds.
With proper plans and initiatives, the sprawling 480 acre area of Eco Park, the nature hub in the city will attract birds. The New Town Kolkata Development Authority (NKDA) with the help of the state forest department has started working on it.
"Preliminary work has already started to set up a bird sanctuary. We are also working on plans to set up a bird interpretation centre at the Eco Park. We plan to organise games and bird-watching contests to bring in enthusiasts," said NKDA and Hidco chairman Debashis Sen.
Documentation work is going on to record the number and species of birds that are already visiting the place. "We will set up 'pakhiralayas' and have already inspected some probable spots for it," Sen said.
The huge water body inside the park area already attracts many birds. To help the visitors with a great viewing experience, a bird observatory has been set up with a board mentioning the various species of birds visiting the spot. This has been done to help viewers recognize the birds. Several gardens have been set up inside the Eco Park with the help of the forest department.
"A lot can be done and the place has tremendous potential. Bird-watching could also be a hobby as so many people visit it," said environment activist and member of the East Kolkata Wetland Management Authority, Banani Kakkar, who recently visited Eco Park.
"There are several such spots in and around the city where such migratory bird habitats could be set up. Such initiatives are always welcome," said Shyamal Ghosh, secretary of Peoples's Green Society, a city-based NGO dealing with environmental issues.


Cosmetic surgery is becoming more popular each year, with people undergoing various cosmetic surgical procedures to enhance their looks and boost their self-confidence. But imagine being able to get a more dramatic transformation. That's possible by combining cosmetic surgery procedures. Advances in surgical procedures and technology, along with increased safety measures are making it more common and attainable. You might be surprised to learn about the many benefits of combining these surgeries.
There's no debate. Undergoing more than one surgical procedure at a time will take longer, but you'll actually save time in the long run. Say you've decided to get liposuction, breast augmentation, and a breast lift. Imagine having to take off work or clearing your and/or your family's schedule, time and again, for each procedure. And then there are the multiple pre-op hospital visits, blood work appointments, and lots of anesthesia, along with added risks. When you combine procedures, you'll tremendously cut down on your time away from your normal life.
With surgery comes pain, discomfort, bruising, or swelling – natural occurrences with most invasive cosmetic surgeries. But multiple, individual surgeries mean that you're repeatedly putting your body through that trauma. Your body has to heal each time, which is even more time-consuming. This can be avoided by combining surgeries.
With each surgery you undergo, you spend more money. It's going to happen. But here at my office, you'll know exactly where your money's going. There are no surprises when it comes to fees, and I actually list our fees here on the website. Many practices split their fees into the surgeon's fee, a separate fee for the anesthesia, and a further separate fee for the operating room facility. For most of my procedures, I offer an all-inclusive price for appropriate healthy candidates. I also want to point out that discounts may be offered with combined procedures, where appropriate.
When I hear the phrase, combining cosmetic surgery, a Mommy Makeover or "postpartum restoration" comes to mind. A Mommy Makeover can restore a woman's body after she's given birth. Depending on the effects of childbearing, it may include a lift, augmentation/implants or reduction, a mini or full tummy tuck or liposuction.
The Mommy Makeover is very popular among my clients.
Who's a Good Candidate for Combining Cosmetic Surgery?
You must be in overall good health. I perform a number of treatments, and procedures – both surgical and non-surgical. With any procedure, I do a thorough examination of each patient to make sure they're a good candidate for any procedure. Safety is always at the forefront of anything we do here. Contact us or call the office today at 301-656-6398 and make an appointment for a free one-on-one consultation.
We have three locations conveniently located near you: Rockville, MD – Annapolis, MD – and McLean, VA. We look forward to meeting you!

A woman being cared for by local hospice St Barnabas House has been presented with a prestigious award.
Eileen Godfrey received the award for a film she produced about the 1,250th anniversary of Ferring village in 2015.
She has been a resident of Ferring since moving to the village from Godalming ten years ago, and is currently being cared for at the hospice which provides palliative care for adults with advanced progressive life-limiting conditions.
Howard Johnson, competition secretary at the South Downs Film Makers Club, paid a special visit to the St Barnabas House In-patient Unit on Friday, February 17, to present Eileen with the Chris Hodson Trophy.
The South Downs Film Makers is a club for amateur film producers who regularly hold meetings in Ferring Village Hall. Eileen and her husband Richard are both members of the club.
Inaugurated in 2016 in memory of one of the club's leading past members, the Chris Hodson Trophy is now awarded annually for the Best Documentary.
Bob Summers, chairman of South Downs Film Makers, said: "Ferring's 1250th Anniversary was a major film project in which Eileen took the role of Executive Producer.
"The finished production, lasting 100 minutes in total, featured a year in the life of St Andrew's Church and some 30 different groups in the village. As such, it represents an important record of Ferring life in 2015.
"Eileen's role as Executive Producer involved promoting the project and providing contact with St Andrew's PCC and the numerous local groups who took part in making the film.
"She organised film crews throughout a year of shooting and, with her determined spirit and a ready smile, ensured the successful completion of the film.
In August 2015, Ferring celebrated the 1,250th anniversary of the Christian community being established when a charter was granted for St Andrew's church to be built in 765.
Since then Eileen's film, which features a combination of new and archive footage, has sold 150 copies.
Eileen was honoured to receive the award, and is delighted that the film has proven to be such a success.
She said: "I'm very pleased to win the award. It was a lot of effort. We were filming over 12 months and I had to organise the different shoots that we had going on and manage our members into film crews.
The film records the celebrations connected with the church, including a visit from the Bishop of Chichester, as well as the typical activities in the village throughout the year.
There is currently a waiting list for the film with the previous batch having sold out. To purchase a copy, call Symonds & Reading estate agents on 01903 502121 to add a name to the waiting list.
