Professor Under Review for Saying 9/11 Might Be an 'Inside Job'
The provost of the University of Wisconsin at Madison announced last week that the university would conduct a "review" of an instructor who has publicly stated that he believes the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job." The instructor, Kevin Barrett, was a guest on a radio show last week where he defended his controversial views. Shortly thereafter a state representative called for Barrett's immediate dismissal and UWM provost Patrick Farrell announced the review of Barrett's course materials, syllabus, and evaluations.
"Mr. Barrett's statements regarding the events of Sept. 11 have raised some legitimate concerns about the content and quality of instruction in his planned fall course, 'Islam: Religion and Culture,'" Farrell publicly stated to a Wisconsin newspaper.
As far as the law is concerned there can be little doubt that Barrett is free to have controversial opinions and to express them outside of class. This is as it should be. As FIRE has made very clear time after time in the case of Washington State University Student Ed Swan, it is not the state's place to judge the personal beliefs of public education teachers. Doubtlessly, on the one hand, one can have the most "correct" views and be a lousy teacher; on the other hand, one can have odd, eccentric, or genuinely dissenting personal views and be an excellent teacher.
Of course, a public university generally may punish even a tenured professor (Barrett is untenured) because he spent too much time on material not germane to the content of the class, for abusing his power over students, or for general incompetence or other legitimate wrongdoing without offending the strong protections of freedom of speech or the principles of academic freedom. The university does not appear, however, to be alleging any of these circumstances.
Barrett anticipated and addressed the concern that he might be abusing his power quite directly: "I look forward to the chance to discuss this with anyone who's interested, and I understand why this would raise concerns. When professors have a strong commitment to a point of view, it's important that they not impose their views on students."
FIRE saw a stunning example of this kind of imposition of views when a professor at Citrus College badly abused her power over students by offering extra credit for students who wrote anti-war letters to be sent to President Bush. She offered no credit for students with any other point of view. That kind of abuse of power is not evident here—especially as Barrett has not even begun teaching the course.
What we are therefore left with is that the University of Wisconsin has launched an investigation into a professor simply because of his controversial views. FIRE has always opposed such "investigations" as threats to free expression in and of themselves.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it." We have much more to fear from an erosion of the principles of freedom of speech and academic freedom than we do from any particular professor's opinions. Meanwhile, by clearly basing this "review" on his political opinions, the University of Wisconsin System has again opened itself to the criticism that it simply does not grasp the basic principles of liberty—whether they apply to Christian RAs, progressive student newspapers, parody, or its own instructors. UW needs better legal advice or, at very least, should consider asking always-wise UW professor Donald Downs' opinion before getting itself into these messes.

It's Grymn Out There.: Grymn armies.
Just looking at the various bits of information that Kev White has provided over the years, you will see that there are many options to choose from when thinking about how to create a Grymn army.
In the beginning there was Experiment #14. He took 1000 embryos from the Sleiti when he escaped. Some of those would have perished but many would have survived. Not all of them would be combatants but from a survival point of view, many would have to be. Obviously, it would take time for the Grymn to reach maturity so Experiment #14 would have to lay low while his charges were allowed to grow, mature and learn how to survive and defend themselves. Later in Grymn history, there would be bigger armies and maybe even settlers, traders, mercenaries and even (perish the thought) invading armies. There could also be different factions...maybe even CHAOS Grymn!?
So we have opportunities to field everything from small gangs of Grymn all the way up to a huge army. We also have the option of good and evil forces!
How about a Grymn gang in Necromunda? A small force of mercenaries in No Limits or Void 1.1? An army of Grymn in Warhammer 40k or even a huge horde in Apocalypse?
There are so many choices for so many gaming systems! It just takes a small amount of thought to make the Grymn fit in.
In Warhammer 40k, the Grymn could simply use the rules for the Imperial Guard. Alternatively, the Space Marines have scouts and they could be used to represent Grymn instead. In Void1.1, Urban War and Metropolis, the Grymn could act as marines from either VASA, Viridian or even Syntha forces.
As an alternative to using 'counts as' armies, you could use any of the available 'fan-lists' that are out there for the various systems. No-Limits has a list for Grymn and if you go to Celtos Legion and look through their downloads, you will find Grymn lists for Void 1.1 and Urban War.
Finally, there is always the option of making your own army lists and creating special rules that you think will suit the Grymn. I'm sure that there are many people out there who use Grymn in various rule systems who have come up with some ingenious special rules and army lists just so that they can use the Grymn in their chosen game system.
In time, I am planning to link to various lists and game systems but until I have permission, I am just batting around ideas.
If anyone out there has a link that they want to share to their own rules for using Grymn in their chosen system, please feel free to PM me (Inso) on The Forum of Doom - the link is on the right - and I'll put it up here for everyone to share.
Good Afternoon Great Sleepless One.
As you know I have been working on a Warhammer 40,000 codex to bring the old Squats into current 40K through the Demiurg concept. All through this I have kept the awesome range of Grymn from Hasslefree in mind at all times as they fit perfectly.
On my own blog I have project logs for the codex and modelling projects to go along with it.
As for other systems I will be using my converted miners unit in an Ash Wastes campaign of Necromunda. I will be using the Hive Prospectors list for them.


The inside story of Hipstamatic's struggle to keep pace in the white-hot photo-sharing space. In part two of the saga, Facebook's billion-dollar acquisition of Instagram rattles Hipstamatic, which fumbles through a series of half-baked products and social features that never stick.
When I ask Hipstamatic CEO Lucas Buick if he lost focus in the last year, he immediately responds, "Absolutely." Since laying off roughly half of his workforce in August, Buick has had to come to terms with his darling Silicon Valley startup suffering negative press, ex-employee reprisals, and a public perception that his company is approaching bankruptcy.
Three years ago, Buick launched a $1.99 photo app that takes analog-style photographs and sells in-app digital lenses and films that effectively turn your iPhone into an old-school instant camera. The startup attracted millions of users and millions of dollars in revenue, and Buick believed the company could become "Kodak for the digital era." He envisioned a future where Hipstamatic would become the industry leader in digital camera goods and third-party photography and printing services. But the fickle app market where Hipstamatic dwells has since become obsessed with finding the next killer social photo app.
Throughout 2011 and leading into the new year, Buick began moving his own startup toward social. But by that time, it was perhaps already too late: Its photo-sharing competitor Instagram had soared beyond Hipstamatic in popularity, and would soon capture the attention of Facebook. Like so many other startups in transition, Hipstamatic would soon start experiencing severe growing pains. As it hired more people and pursued new products in an attempt to keep pace with competing apps, Hipstamatic's culture became fractured. On one side, founders chased venture capital and rushed through work on a series of half-baked products, while on the other side, newly hired employees struggled to build something they thought would last. The two groups had very disparate visions for Hipstamatic's future.
In the most regrettable ways, Hipstamatic was, in fact, becoming Kodak. Like the once venerable brand, which failed to keep pace with industry changes during the 1990s, Hipstamatic was struggling to adapt to the daily chaos and external pressures of the social app world.
Hipstamatic explores new products, chats with Twitter, and is tempted by the siren call of social.
Facebook buys Instagram for $1 billion, Twitter comes calling again, and Hipstamatic loses focus.
But what the partnership most demonstrated was the powerful social pull that Instagram wielded. "We started to see how many people were sharing to Instagram, and I think [Buick] felt like he was missing out on all that," says Sam Soffes, a former iOS engineer at the company, who would later have a dustup with Buick.
"I was sitting next to Jon [Wight] who just said aloud, 'Oh, Facebook bought Instagram?' I think it was [CTO] Ryan [Dorshorst] who was like, 'No way–that's a joke.' We all thought it was a headline on The Onion," recalls Laura Polkus, a former designer at Hipstamatic. "Then we saw Mark's blog post. And it was like, 'Wait, one billion? Like, a billion dollars? What? What does that mean for us? Does that mean that [Instagram] won?'" The team spent most of that April morning reading stories about the acquisition.
Tomorrow: In the final installment, Hipstamatic's founders go hunting for venture capital but come up empty. In a perceived cash crunch, they lay engineers off and attempt a do-over. "We should coin this the unpivot," Buick says.
Yesterday: Read in part one about how Hipstamatic explored new products, chatted with Twitter, and first became tempted by social.

Trump Transportation Secretary Admits More Taxes could be Coming
Mateus Kadesh
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao (the wife of Senator Mitch McConnell) was recently asked if taxes would have to increase for the government to be able to work on our nation's infrastructure. While not admitting that taxes WOULD go up, the Secretary did say that it could be a likely course of action because "there is not enough money in the world to pay for all the infrastructure" that we need.
Question: So you're saying taxes will increase, and tolls will increase, or they won't?
Elaine Chao: That is a decision that is up to the state and local governments, and also, it is going to depend [on whether we implement] a federal gas tax. These are hard decisions.
Trending: Why are openly Seditious Democrats NOT being Charged with Sedition?
We all want better infrastructure, but unfortunately, there is just not enough money in the world to pay for all the infrastructure. Which is why the president's infrastructure plan also emphasizes the private sector. Private sector pension funds are a tremendous source of capital for funding public infrastructure. There are states which disallow the private sector from investing in public infrastructure. So we hope that those restrictions can be removed. And then those states and localities that want to work with the private sector, it is their decision whether they want to use private… funds, tolls, whatever. What we are saying in this proposal is we are looking at creative ways for financing, and so tolls is one way, we're not advocating for them or endorsing them. It is really up to the local entities that are involved.

Houston Texans Hire Nick Caserio as General Manager
Houston Texans Public Relations
HOUSTON – The Houston Texans have hired Nick Caserio as the team's fifth general manager. Caserio joins the Texans after spending 20 seasons with the Patriots, including 18 in player personnel. He was named the director of player personnel in 2008 after serving in a number of roles for the personnel department and coaching staff. During his time with New England, he won six Super Bowl titles, which is tied for the most by any NFL franchise in league history, and was credited as one of the architects of the Super Bowl XLIX, Super Bowl LI and Super Bowl LIII teams.
"The Houston Texans are an organization committed to excellence. Since the start of our search, we have been steadfast on identifying a general manager that embodies what it means to be a Houston Texan, and it is Nick Caserio," said Texans Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Cal McNair. "Nick is an incredibly hard worker, disciplined, a man of integrity and high character. He has a tremendous amount of experience building a winning franchise and we have faith he will continue his success as a Texan. Nick has an unparalleled reputation around the league amongst his peers. We couldn't be more excited to name him our new general manager and to welcome his family to Houston."
In Caserio's 20 seasons with New England, the Patriots made the Super Bowl nine times, including six wins. They captured 17 AFC East division titles and were a playoff team every year except 2002, 2008 and 2020. Caserio was instrumental in drafting, signing and developing players who were essential pieces of one of the most successful dynasties in NFL history. Along with his time in the player personnel department, Caserio coached the Patriots wide receivers in 2007, in which the offense helped break the NFL record for points scored (589) en route to an undefeated regular season.
"On behalf of my wife Kathleen and our entire family, I'm very humbled and honored by this opportunity to be the general manager of the Houston Texans," said Caserio. "We would like to thank Janice, Cal and Hannah McNair for their belief in us that we can build something special that embraces the accomplishments of the past and accepts the challenges in front of us in our desire to be best. This moment would not be possible without the support and guidance of those that have invested in me personally and professionally. We are forever grateful to the Kraft Family, Bill Belichick as well as the entire New England Patriots organization that has blessed our family in ways we can never repay. Our goal now is to serve the Texans organization and the Houston community by putting together a team that we all can be proud of on and off the field."
Caserio joined the Patriots in June 2001 as a personnel assistant and celebrated the Patriots first Super Bowl title that season. During that season, his role was expanded to include film breakdown and scouting report preparation for the offensive staff. He became an offensive coaching assistant in February 2002 and returned to player personnel in 2003 as an area scout prior to becoming director of pro personnel in 2004. Caserio originally entered the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant at Saginaw Valley State University in 1999 and spent two seasons with the program. He joined the Patriots scouting department following a brief time with Central Michigan as a graduate assistant in the spring of 2001.
A native of Lyndhurst, Ohio, Caserio was a standout quarterback at John Carroll University, as the Blue Streaks compiled a 33-7-2 record in the four seasons he started for the team. He was a two-time captain and three-time All-Conference performer. In 1997, Caserio helped lead the team to a 10-2 record and the school's second appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament, where it advanced to the national quarterfinals. He earned his degree in finance from John Carroll and later earned his master's of business administration from Saginaw Valley State.
Caserio and his wife, Kathleen, have three daughters, Whitley, Chatham and Charleston.

When you sell your house, how important is your garden then? – Green Parrot Gardens. French Riviera.
← Make a good impression – also when selling your property!
Firstly, I completely disagree (big surprise for a garden designer) and secondly I strongly believe that this conviction must be either a matter of where the real estate bloggers come from that land on top of Google's search lists or it's simply because they write better posts and get read a lot more.
Seriously, if you made a poll in Australia, California, Florida, the Mediterranean or the Carribean, what would real estate professionals recommend? Well, OK, probably something about the right balance between inside and outside, and rightly so!
While some people might overdo their garden investments, others clearly get carried away with their bathrooms and kitchens. I personally think that it's far riskier to invest 330,- EUR per sqm into a marble kitchen countertop of 3,50*2,50 than investing the same amount into – roughly – three beautiful olive trees.
With these three olive trees you can set the tone for a large portion of your gardens. But that's a matter of taste. Maybe two trees would do and choosing another stone instead of marble. That sounds like a compromise.
There always remains the question: will the money spent on interior decoration or landscaping be realised down the road when your property sells?
Well, the correct news is, interior decoration ages, gardens mature. Interior decoration is largely a matter of fashion, garden fashions have much longer cycles. Interior decoration is a matter of personal taste, tastes in garden design is something for the specialist. Gardens not only become more beautiful as they grow old, but they also add value to your property, simply because a matured tree costs a lot more when installing it newly, compared to a young one.
In times when tree moving businesses are getting busier and busier, because more and more people like to see their new garden in an already matured state, your trees really are an asset that – theoretically and practically – could be dug up and sold.
Investment into gardens – as into interiors – is always a question of balance, of proportions of course. On both sides it is possible to add costs that do not result in an equivalent value. But I seriously believe – and many realty professionals do as well, that gardens tend to make money over time, and quite successfully so.
Also a garden is – or can be – a very individual creation that is rarely found somewhere else, whilst certain bathroom or kitchen extravaganzas simply become outdated over the years. A designed garden will never be outdated.
Interiors depend by nature more on the personal tastes of people than gardens. A well designed and maintained garden will give possible buyers the feeling they would really like to live in this house with this specific garden. People hunting for a house will remember the view from inside toward the outside more than the kitchen floor's stones or tiles.
Recent surveys have shown that even buyers who say that gardens and landscaping are not very important for them are not only attracted by gardens and the surroundings of a house but that this aspect actually is essential for their buying decision.
Also, uninventive garden design, or even no garden design at all still needs maintenance and will cost money in the long run. So, one might assume that investing in garden design would come naturally to almost every home owner.
As a garden designer I can only recommend to hire a pro when it comes to renovating or designing a garden. There is so much to consider that it's simply not a good idea to design your garden yourself. Even if you are a good hobby gardener, please let the design work do someone who knows how to choose and install plants, how to deal with or establish vistas, proportions, optical weights and how to create a sense of harmony and surprise.

How to remove logs and Maildir?
Hello. We're setting up FTP user accounts for some of our clients to upload and download files only. When I create a FTP user account it puts the folders 'logs' and 'Maildir' and a bunch of files that start with a period.
What we're needing is just a blank 'folder', so that when they log in using their FTP client they don't see any files.
To add a new FTP account I go to Users > Manager Users > Add A New User, is this the correct place? If so how do I create a blank folder for them?
You can't. If you want them to see a blank folder, make that folder in their home directory, and then set their FTP client to use that as its default directory.

Efficacy of rapeseed residue and eggshell waste on enzyme activity and soil quality in rice paddy
Sang Soo Lee, Samy A.M. Abd El-Azeem, Jung Eun Lim, Anushka Upamali Rajapaksha, Kwon Rae Kim, Young Han Lee, Yong Bok Lee, Yoon Young Chang, Yong Sik Ok
Addition of plant residue into soils improves soil physiochemical properties and its fertility. Rapeseed residue is an emerging N source to paddy soils via rice-rape double-cropping practice. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of rapeseed residue and eggshell waste on chemical changes and enzyme activity in the rice paddy soil. The powdered eggshells at 0, 1, 3, and 5% were applied once to 7.0 kg paddy repacked soils in each pot treated with the rapeseed residue or the conventional N, P, and K fertilisers. Eight rice seedlings (Oriza sativa L. cv. Ilmibyeo) (40 days after sowing) were transplanted to the treated each pot. The contents of total C (TC) and N (TN), and organic matter (OM) were significantly increased in soils treated with the rapeseed residue compared to the N, P, and K fertilisers. With the addition of eggshell containing ∼92% CaCO3, a considerable increase of soil pH was observed in soils treated with the rapeseed residue and the N, P, and K fertilisers, compared to the untreated soil. Activities of β-glucosidase, urease, and arylsulfatase enzymes were higher in soils treated with the rapeseed residue than soils treated with the N, P, and K fertilisers. The eggshell additions at 1, 3, and 5% into soils treated with the rapeseed residue increased enzyme activity mainly resulting from N mineralisation, whereas no change in enzyme activity was observed in the soils treated with the NPK fertiliser. The combined use of the rapeseed residue and the eggshells can be beneficial to improve soil environment.

Interviewed 2014. Damien was educated in the more creative side of the industry and got his start in the industry by working on special effects.
Uh, so, I did studies about gaming. In fact, I did, um, a school in France that schooled in the, the International Institute of Multimedia. And there we were learning how to build websites. Uh, video games it was starting, but I haven't worked that mission on, on video games, but rather I worked on a special effects, uh, CG animation in fact for, for, uh, for a movie industry. So, I was making, uh, little CG animations and that was my specialty there at the school. But I joined the school in, in the mind of going to in the video game, uh, industry. And, in fact, my brother did this school three years before me and he's also in the video game industry. Uh, so, I followed his path in a way, but he's more in the management side while I'm more on the creative side.

How can boards be more digital? | 15 minutes with... Ekta Singh-Bushell, former COO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Recently appointed Non-Executive Director for Datatec, Ekta Singh-Bushell, shares her insights on cyber security and digital transformation, as well as comments on her Nurole experience and how she would invest £10,000.
Oliver Cummings
Ekta Singh-Bushell serves on public and private corporate boards bringing diverse global management experience and expertise in financial, digital and technology, cybersecurity and risk operations. She was Chief Operating Officer of the Executive Office at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and prior to that had a 17+ year career as a senior managing partner with EY where she led transformations across multiple industries impacted by digital, technology, data and cyber. She has lived and worked in India, UK and USA, and has had hands-on management experience in 40+ countries. She currently serves on the board of TTEC (NASDAQ:TTEC), prev. Teletech, and is a Strategic Board Advisor for Decision GPS LLC and LifeStream [Taxonometrics].
Through Nurole, she joined the board of JSE listed global IT solutions and services provider Datatec (JSE:DTC), which operates in over 50 countries and has over 8,000 employees.
Learn how board of directors recruitment for listed companies is made easier with Nurole.
What are the key lessons boards can learn from your experience founding and building a successful business in the digital transformation space?
Digital is complex and very much a 'suitcase' word which is not a once and done – it's a journey of continuous improvement and innovation. Some of the key lessons that stand out for me include:
Boards need to make sure that the company's values, strategy, talent management and incentives are aligned to and support a culture of innovation.
Successful DT (Digital Transformation) includes everything from end-to-end CX (Customer Experience), the data and analysis to glean insights and the digital supply chain to deliver products and services to exceed Customer expectations. Boards therefore need a diversity of skill sets and awareness including DT practitioners across functions from digital sales, digital marketing and digital operations, to Cyber.
Board, companies and industries that still believe they are only B2B need to appreciate that they are really B2B2C and understanding with whom, where, when and how that interaction plays out, is a non-negotiable to success in digital.
Boards need to bring not just oversight, but insights and foresight across the three hallmarks of a successful digital transformation, which include:
Customer intimacy
Personalized, unique products and services
Channel-less or seamless cross-channel execution
How can boards ensure Cyber & information security becomes an area of competitive differentiation?
To use a football analogy – companies need to assess whether they go on the offensive or stay defensive. The former is about demonstrating positive resilience and the latter is about protection and being reactionary. Depending on your industry, consider setting up a separate technology and innovation committee or subcommittee that will focus on how Cyber can be a strategic and competitive differentiator. It's an obvious opportunity for global tech services and financial services companies, but even for more traditional industries like Industrials, Consumer and Oil & Gas where the Internet of Things is opening them up to huge Cyber risk. It's unrealistic to expect the Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee with their overloaded agenda to do full justice and take appropriate action to make Cyber and information security an area of competitive differentiation.
Boards need to ensure that at least one board member is, or has been, a Cyber/info security practitioner earlier in their career – not necessarily a CISO.
What has characterised the best boards you have worked with?
The best boards demonstrate the four Cs.
Collaboration - comes from teamwork and trusted relationships.
Competence - requires experts in multiple fields with mutual respect for one another's domain expertise.
Courage - demands challenge without being challenging and disagreement without being disagreeable.
Chemistry - what you get when you have the first three C's.
When have you got it most wrong professionally and what did you learn?
As I was starting out my professional career, I walked away from a PhD on driverless cars and automated highways believing it would never happen in my lifetime. Well, life has a way of making the impossible inevitable. It's all about runways and horizons.
What's the best professional advice you ever received?
"Don't fight city-hall and the client is always right … except when they are not, and when it's your reputation at stake." Sometimes you learn the hard way, that when wealth is lost, nothing is lost, when health is lost, something is lost and when character is lost, everything is lost (to quote Billy Graham).
Your Nurole Experience
How did you hear about Nurole?
From a dear friend, mentor and coach who recommended me.
How have you found the experience as a member?

Just a small update on what the current status of the RC car. I realized it has been about a month since my last post and most of you must think I have stopped working on the project. However, it has been roadblock after roadblock that has kept me from posting anything. What I thought would be a simple next step to incorporate the Bluetooth and dual shock 4 controller has turned into a nightmare of confusion. On the Bright side, most of the bugs have been worked out and I am now tackling the hardware portion of the project which is seemingly just as difficult as the software portion. I will hopefully be pushing Part II out within the next two weeks hopefully, if not, I will update everyone here.

exMiami, a website "chronicling Miami's Transformation" reports that a well-placed source at US Airways confirms that American will add flights to Tel Aviv from both Miami and New York's JFK airport. Now, even-though this was posted by an administrator of the site, I tend to doubt that the yet to merge carrier has already decided on new routes and that they would share such information with exMiami. In any case, it's not too much of a stretch as I do believe that the new AA will be adding additional Tel Aviv flights in the future and JFK/Miami would certainly make sense based on demographics. Additionally, Delta, United, and US are bringing in huge profits with their TLV routes. Of course, AA will have to figure out how to settle their severance dispute with the previous TWA Israeli employees in order to avoid an impounded jet in Tel Aviv.
United Mistakenly Sends Hendrix the Dog to Ireland Instead of Phoenix!
American does not have a plane suitable for the MIA-TLV. The only one that can make it that far is a 777 and I doubt that the load factor will permit such venture.
@adam – I have not seen that specific article, but I have seen the coverage of the FAA allowing Boeing to begin test flights and whatnot. Quite frankly, I would put absolutely no stock whatsoever in anything Boeing might say about when the 787 will fly again. I think that a good part of, if not all of, what they say about this will be for marketing and PR purposes. When the FAA and it's counterparts in other countries allow the 787 to fly passengers again, that's different. But I think Boeing is engaging in CYA with the majority of their comments.
Nice call-back to the 2001 article.
Wouldn't the AA bankruptcy void the judgement? At best the former workers would be creditors?
In the US court system that would be correct. The court system in Israel would not be required to recognize that discharge of obligation. Remember, this claim stems from the fact that TWA needed to pay large severance packages, but only offered a few thousand dollars per employee, and they were sued in Israel.
@Jason, based on previous flights I've been on to TLV,as well as LY's previous MIA-TLV flight, I'm quite positive that the 777 could fill up.
Doesn't u.s. airways fly a330's? I'm sure that has the range, and its seems like the perfect aircraft for a mia-tlv route.
I dont believe that the new AA will pay off the debts that the old AA owe due to taking over TWA. After all AA all along could have paid it off yrs ago when it would have been cheaper (less interest accumulating) and didnt.


These are not exactly house hold names and most of them have long since faded away. That's what happens when you let the state dictate taste. There are a few good painters in the bunch who did decent works apart from official salons and there are those who are enamored with craft and mimesis that champion the history painters of the world. These don't include many, if any, art historians or reputable critics. In many cases these paintings are redundant and have no admirable qualities what so ever.
Seriously, most of these guys don't even have a wiki page. We know there are those who champion this type of academic realism, but they are few and confused. At its very worst in the 1850s till the end of that century it competed with photography and provided color versions of reality before the invention of color photography. Any time there is and official style of art or and official place to learn that style of art, its art that suffers. There are two polarities that will never be reconciled i.e. realism and idealism, the first being subjective and emotional and the later objective and abstract.

Advent is hopeful and prayerful expectation of the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a time to escape the hustle and bustle of the shopping season and truly prepare ourselves, our families in joyful preparation of the coming of our Lord. It is the four weeks prior to Christmas and can be anywhere from 22 to 28 days in length depending on the year.
Advent is from the Latin word adventus meaning "coming". Advent is a time of preparation for the nativity of Jesus. It is also the beginning of the liturgical year. The first day of Advent is Sunday, December 1. The color purple is a color of royalty and also a color of penitence. It is not the same penitential period of Lent, but instead a time of prayerful and joyful preparation.
Many prophets announced the coming of the Messiah and there were people who ignored the message and those who waited in hopeful preparation of his coming. The choice is yours to make, how will you prepare?
Are you ready for Advent? Advent is a time of hopeful self-preparation and reflection. Not only is it a time to clean our homes of unneeded items collected throughout the year, it is also a time to take a good look at ourselves and really let go of some of the baggage we are carrying around as we wait in joyful preparation of the celebration of the coming of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Do you know what Advent is?
Enjoy this Advent calendar from the USCCB for each day of Advent. The doors will be empty until the day comes along. It is a great activity to begin a new tradition with your family for each day of Advent. This online calendar requires no work, no craftiness, just click the calendar, click the date and watch the magic begin!
While we wait, we have lots of activities, prayers and new traditions here on the website for you to enjoy, whether you are preparing for your baptism or confirmation or you are already Catholic looking for a simple and prayerful way to celebrate Advent. The information is from all over the world, so we hope you enjoy them!
There are no official requirements for fasting or abstinence as this is a joyful period of penance. However, we have excellent exercises of self preparation on our pages Reflect and Prayer.

Fed policymakers vow to keep interest rates near zero, call for more fiscal help
By Howard Schneider, Ann Saphir, Jonnelle Marte
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve officials on Wednesday doubled down on efforts to convince investors they will keep monetary policy easy for years to allow unemployment to fall, emphasizing that interest rates will stay near zero until inflation gets to 2% and stays there.
FILE PHOTO: Federal Reserve Board building on Constitution Avenue is pictured in Washington, U.S., March 19, 2019. REUTERS/Leah Millis/File Photo
The Fed's governing board made that vow last week at its regularly scheduled policy meeting, promising to leave rates at their current near-zero levels until the economy reaches full employment, inflation has risen to 2%, and is on track to moderately exceed that level.
Both Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida and Chicago Fed President Charles Evans were adamant on Wednesday: Rates will not increase until labor markets recover fully from the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus, and prices hit the Fed's target.
"Rates will be at the current level, which is basically zero, until actual observed PCE inflation has reached 2%," Clarida told Bloomberg Television, referring to the Fed's preferred measure of prices.
"That's 'at least.' We could actually keep rates at this level beyond that," Clarida said. "But we are not even going to begin thinking about lifting off, we expect, until we actually get observed inflation ... equal to 2%."
How much of an overshoot beyond that would be tolerable is an "academic" discussion until the economy rebounds, Clarida said.
Evans for his part was not timid. "I don't fear 2.5% inflation" he said, noting that the lower the tolerance for an inflation overshoot, the longer it will take for the Fed to meet its goal of 2% inflation on average.
Regardless, he said, the Fed won't raise rates until inflation reaches 2%, sustainably, and the central bank is confident it will overshoot that goal - conditions that won't be met before the end of 2023.
Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said it may take longer for the central bank to hit that target if infections rise in the fall and winter, leading to slower growth. "We'd be lucky to get 2% inflation within" four years, Rosengren said during a virtual forum organized by the Boston Economic Club.
Investors were disappointed the Fed did not back up its new pledge by increasing its bond purchases, however, and sent stocks lower on Wall Street's major indices.
Ramping up the Fed's bond purchases from their currently monthly pace of $120 billion or otherwise beefing up asset purchases would be premature until the economy gets into better shape, Evans told reporters on a call. That could include unemployment closer to 6% than the 8.4% it is now, and more consumers feeling comfortable spending their money outside of the home.
When that happens, "we would have a better idea of the right amount of accommodation and the way to deliver it," Evans told reporters. "At the moment everybody understands that we are accommodative."
The Fed cut rates to near zero in March and took other steps to combat a recession that took hold as businesses shut down and consumers stayed home to fight the spread of the coronavirus.
Despite some recovery from the economic downturn, "there is a long way to go," Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress, with millions still jobless compared to where the economy was in February.
"We need to stay with it ... The recovery will go faster if there is support coming both from Congress and the Fed."
Several policymakers said that further government aid from Congress is needed, with Clarida emphasizing that the U.S. economy could return from the current "deep hole" of joblessness and weak demand in perhaps three years.
"It would have been fine if the pandemic lasted three months, but the pandemic isn't lasting three months," Rosengren said in an interview with Reuters. "It's lasting much longer than that and so there's definitely a need for more targeted spending."

Yemen: UN downplays Saudi Arabia-led coalition's crimes against children
9 October 2017, 10:51 UTC | Yemen
© Amnesty International
The international community has caved in to political pressure again, underplaying the suffering of hundreds of Yemeni children, by watering down criticism of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition's grave violations of international law in the UN Secretary General's annual Children and armed conflict report (CAAC), said Amnesty International.
"Every time the United Nations makes concessions that allow perpetrators of crimes under international law to evade criticism or justice, it emboldens others to commit violations that cause immense misery to people around the world," said Sherine Tadros, Head of UN office in New York for Amnesty International.
"Every time the United Nations makes concessions that allow perpetrators of crimes under international law to evade criticism or justice, it emboldens others to commit violations that cause immense misery to people around the world."
Sherine Tadros, Head of UN office in New York for Amnesty International
"While we welcome the overdue listing of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in the CAAC report, it is a shame that the UN caved in to pressure and included it in a new category specifically designed to limit condemnation of the coalition."
As a result of diplomatic pressure from Saudi Arabia, the report - which covers the year 2016 - contains a new category that acknowledges the efforts of the coalition to "put in place measures during the reporting period to improve the protection of children".
Amnesty International has seen no evidence of such measures. In recent weeks, Amnesty International confirmed the use of a US-manufactured bomb by the Saudi-Arabia led coalition in an August attack that killed seven children.
According to the CAAC report, 683 children were killed or injured by the Saudi-Arabia led coalition in 2016.
"World powers should do everything possible to keep the pressure on states that blatantly disregard children's lives. The USA and other states that supply arms for use by the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in Yemen must stop doing so and the United Nations Security Council should impose an arms embargo to bring an end to such horrific abuses," said Sherine Tadros.
In 2015, Saudi Arabia was included in the CAAC report but was later removed by then secretary general Ban Ki-moon following intense diplomatic pressure.
According to UNICEF's latest Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM) figures, between 26 March 2015 and 31 March 2017, at least 1,595 children were killed and 2,542 others injured in Yemen. The Saudi-led coalition is responsible for the majority of these child casualties.

Private jets are part of a very interesting industry. Here are some surprising facts about this luxurious mode of travel, from Monmouth Executive Airport in New Jersey.
The USA is the private jet capital of the world: Recent statistics show that the US makes up around 49.7% of all private jet flights in the whole world, with Europe and Asia Pacific following up with 20.6% and 11.6% respectively.
Cessna has the most popular private jet: The iconic Cessna Citation Excel, also known as the Citation XLS and XLS+, is the most popular private jet in the USA. Not only is it a striking and elegant piece of engineering, it also has great range at around 2,100nm, can take 9 passengers in luxurious comfort and has a load capacity of over 7,000lbs.
Private jets love the Superbowl: Of all big events, including the Kentucky Derby and the Monaco Grand Prix, the Superbowl is the most travelled-to event for private jets – in the entire world. Even more impressive is that around 50% of this private jet traffic comes from international travelers who want to experience the legendary event and the famous half-time show.
Celebs love to be pilots as well as passengers: For many A-listers, travelling in a private jet is the only way to go. For a few, however, the thrill is in piloting their own aircraft. This list of celebrities includes John Travolta, who has an astounding 11 jets, as well as Tom Cruise, in his Gulfstream IV.
The world's most expensive private jet costs over $500 million: Owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, this jet is a modified Airbus A380. It features a two-car garage and a stable as well as many other high-end luxury fittings.
Private jets have access to more airports: While commercial airliners can take you to any of the 500 commercial airports across the USA, private jets can take off and land from over 5,000 airports – including all the large commercial ones. This means greater flight flexibility, easier flights past inclement weather and easier access to more cities and towns for passengers.
If you are considering flying out of New Jersey,Monmouth Executive Airport – just 20 minutes to Manhattan by helicopter – offers everything business and private travelers require. For private pilots, we offer high quality, competitively priced fuel rates, aircraft maintenance services and hangar space in New Jersey – available immediately. Through our world-class amenities, hangars and services, we offer private clients an exceptional flying experience.
Unlike commercial flights, whose rates are calculated primarily on a per passenger basis, jet charter costs are based on a very different set of criteria. If you're planning to charter a private jet or aircraft, it's important to know how these prices are calculated in order to ensure you, your guests and/or clients are getting a value for money service.
Choice of aircraft – This is a significant factor in costing a charter flight as you will be hiring the entire aircraft and crew rather than booking a per passenger ticket. The type, size and exclusivity of the aircraft will determine the hourly rate the operator or owner will quote you.
Flight distance – Charters are calculated using hourly rates so the further you fly, the higher the cost. While most aircraft are available for shorter flights, longer flights may require you to charter specific jets to ensure you arrive quickly and safely without fuel stops.
Crew – Depending on the aircraft you hire, you may have two or more pilots, flight attendants and support crew on board and this expense is worked into the final charter cost.
Passenger fees – Every country has a different approach to charter flights and some require passengers to pay a levy or tax for landing in the country. These fees may vary significantly depending on your destination.
Airport landing fees – These are set individually by each airport according to the weight of the aircraft you hire and can vary significantly depending on your destination.
Handling fees – Once on the ground, charter aircraft have to be managed through FBO services. This includes refueling, sanitation, executive travel and parking services, catering and so forth and will vary from airport to airport.
If you are considering flying out of New Jersey via charter jet, Monmouth Executive Airport offers everything business and private travellers require. For charter companies, we offer high quality, competitively priced rates, fuel and hangar space in New Jersey, we offer you and your clients an exceptional flying experience.

Three words come to mind when we talk about business jets – speed, luxury and style. However, in this highly competitive, elite market certain jets stand out above the rest by offering clients exceptional space and amenities in addition to eye-catching looks. Here, Monmouth Executive Airport in New Jersey explores the top choices in exclusive aviation.
Gulfstream 650 – Top of our list and the most popular choice for discerning corporate and private clients is this exclusive charter jet.

Dress appropriately – For corporate trips, business wear is ideal, but for leisure trips a more casual look is ideal. After all, this experience is all about travelling in comfort.
Let your host board first – If you're a guest, this is the best way to board the aircraft. It gives your host a chance to point out amenities, introduce you to staff and ensures you don't sit in his or her preferred seat.
Keep devices on – Staying in contact is integral to the private jet experience. You can take or make calls, browse online, check email and host conferences as you would in the office.
Talk to staff – Want particular music, a movie or something to drink? Let the staff know – they are there to look after you and make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Got pets? – Pets are welcome inside the cabin, but it's best to ensure your animals are properly groomed beforehand to ensure that upholstery stays clean.
Got questions? – If you want to speak to the staff or the pilots, don't hesitate to do so. The cockpit door stays open, so you can visit the flight deck at any time. Even if you don't have questions, the view is always something to remember.
Relax – Sit back and enjoy yourself, the staff are there to carry your bags, properly stow them and look after all the needs of you and the other passengers, so you can absorb the private jet experience.
At Monmouth Executive Airport, your private jet experience begins long before you takeoff. With our exclusive services for private charter companies and convenient location in New Jersey, we're able to ideally meet the needs of the private flyer. With attractive leasing options, ample airplane hangar space, fuel and executive travel and parking services, we're providing world-class amenities from the moment you arrive. For more information, please visit our website at monmouthjetcenter.com today.
Flying on private business jets can be summed up under one philosophy: meeting your needs, whatever they are. This extends to everything from dietary requests and in-flight Internet connectivity to strictly customized flight schedules and flexibility. For passengers who are disabled or mobility impaired, similar dedication is taken in order to meet your needs. This results in an experience which far surpasses what commercial airliners are able to provide.
The boarding procedure: When boarding a private jet, the process is simplified for convenience. With executive travel and parking services, passengers are driven directly to the airplane's steps and can undergo the security procedures, including the security scan, without leaving the car. Staff will be available if any assistance is required and passengers are able to embark at their own pace.
The travel experience: Depending on the type of jet, the configuration of seats and storage will differ. However, unlike the one-size-fits-all commercial airliner experience, many jets can easily accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility equipment in the cabin for easy access. With plenty of extra legroom, comfortable seating and secure car-seat style seatbelts, you will be able to get in and out of your seat with complete ease. As always, staff will be on hand to provide any additional assistance.
Additional services: Private charters can also easily accommodate services for anyone with more serious physical needs, for example, medical equipment, oxygen tanks and on-site medical assistance.
At Monmouth Executive Airport, we pride ourselves of enhancing the private jet experience by providing exceptional facilities and support to charter companies, including high quality, competitively priced rates, fuel and hangar space in New Jersey, ensuring a high-quality travel experience before you even leave the ground. For more information, please visit our website at monmouthjetcenter.com today.
With winter in full swing and transport compromised by snow, storms and ice it is important corporate jet clients know what to expect from charter flights during this challenging season.
Corporate jets can still fly – Due to the fact there are ten times more airport options for charter flights and these pilots can be far more flexible in terms of their flight plan, private jets are often available to fly when commercial airliners aren't. Safety however, will still be a top priority, but you can be assured flights will only be grounded when all other options are exhausted.
Smaller airports can often cope better with extreme weather – Business jets and charter airplanes are much smaller than commercial airliners, so they can take off and land on far shorter runways. These runways can be cleared much more quickly when a break in the weather occurs and, due to the reduced traffic at these airports, delays are much shorter.
De-icing may affect your flight – but not your budget – All ice has to be removed from an aircraft before it can safely take off and, while this process is faster with smaller aircraft it can still result in delays and increases in the flight cost. Fortunately, charter companies are liable for this cost – not passengers – so you won't experience a cost increase for your flight.
Stranded? A private jet can help – Extreme winter weather can ground commercial aircraft for days if not weeks, but private jets can start using runways and running safely far more quickly should the weather allow. If you get stranded at an airport and need to get the first flight out possible, a private jet will be able to assist you as quickly as possible.
At Monmouth Executive Airport, we provide exceptional facilities for charter companies and their clients, from affordable fuel and hangar space in New Jersey to executive parking, concierge, restaurant and travel services.

Are you searching for furniture to fit in your apartment, condo, or historic townhome? Throughout the Washington DC metropolitan area we are accustomed to living situations where furniture has to fit through small doorways and tight hallways. Finding furniture sized for townhome or apartment living doesn't have to be difficult or a compromise when it comes to style.
Maryland, Virginia and the District are seeing growth in condominium units and related to that, we are seeing an increasing need for condo sized furniture. Condos often feature open floor plans and smaller square footage so it's important to choose furniture that's sized right and is also functional. You may want to maximize your space by choosing furniture that includes storage options. The Ellington Bedroom Collection from Vaughan Bassett is a great small scale bedroom furniture choice. The Queen or King Size Storage Bed features a storage footboard for clothing or linen storage, and a slim headboard that's decorative at the top. The Two Drawer Nightstand provides additional storage space and feature electronics storage compartments in the top drawer with an optional power pack for charging phones and tablets.
With smaller spaces it's important to create a comfortable and livable space that's appealing to the eye. Proportion is key when you're working within size constraints and choosing apartment furniture. Be sure to create natural flow spaces around dining room table and chairs, barstools, and in front of upholstery seating. Rowe Furniture, a manufacturer located in our home state of Virginia, offers excellent options for small scale sofas and townhome furniture. Rowe's Monaco Sofa, Dorset Sofa, and Stockdale Sofa are available in smaller widths to fit proportionately in your home.

FOR MORE DETAILS ON OUR LIPOSOMAL FULL SPECTRUM 300mg
Our Advanced Liposomal CBD for Health
Royal Leaf is proud to announce the launch of our new Liposomal CBD Tincture 300mg. The main constituent of our new product, cannabidiol or CBD, has medical researchers excited. In fact, CBD is becoming one of the most popular tools in self-care.
CBD's phenomenal qualities are widely praised by users, and there is a growing body of informative literature available online. Science is increasingly recognizing the tremendous potential that CBD has to offer.
While our amazement with CBD remains unwavering, it is our new product's innovative liposomal delivery method that has us particularly excited. This groundbreaking technology has been shown to increase bioavailability even more than standard liposomes do. Increased bioavailability means higher serum CBD levels, which can improve CBD's overall potency and efficacy. It is that simple and truly amazing.
What Is Bioavailability?
Bioavailability is simply defined as the amount of the active form of a drug or substance that enters the systemic circulation unaltered. Another succinct definition by the U.S. Department of Human Health and Services explains that bioavailability is:
"...A measure of the rate and extent to which a drug is absorbed and becomes available at the site of drug action in the body." [1]
Our new liposomal delivery system ensures that even more active CBD reaches areas in the body where it is needed most.
What Is a Liposome?
Liposomes are formulations based on self-(nano)emulsifying drug delivery, or SEDDs.
According to one scientific article, this is how it works:
"The base formulation, which is an isotropic mixture of an active compound in combination with lipids, surfactants, and a co-solvent, has been called a pro-nano-liposphere (PNL) pre-concentrate[…]When it reaches the aqueous phase of the gastrointestinal tract, the PNL spontaneously forms a drug-encapsulated oil/water micro-emulsion with a particle diameter of less than 60 nm. The clinical usefulness of SEDDS, which stems from their ability to increase the solubility and oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, have led to them attracting considerable interest."[2]
Valimenta, a supplement manufacturer, translates this to simpler terms. They describe liposomes as "tiny nano-sized bubbles with an outer shell composed of healthy lipids and a hollow aqueous center that can be filled with a variety of substances."
Examples of such substances include drugs, CBD, and other nutrients such as vitamins A and B, and CoQ10.
Liposomal technology led to major advancements in how many substances are absorbed by the body, specifically by increasing the bioavailability of essential nutrients, compounds, and phospholipids. Clinical studies have shown, for these substances (when taken orally) to have greater bioavailability, and thus greater effect, they need protection from both the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems involved in digestion. This is exactly what protection liposomes can offer. For example:
"Liposomal molecules are designed to hold hydrophilic (water-soluble) [substances] in its center and phospholipids and hydrophobic (oil-soluble) [substances] in its outer membrane." [3]
Why Is Liposomal Delivery Important?
Liposomes' greatest benefit is the improved delivery of drugs or other substances into systemic circulation. Liposomal delivery systems have been shown to be extremely useful in the treatment of many serious health conditions. One study demonstrated the improved efficacy of oral liposomal Vitamin C in the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury. This injury occurs when tissues are damaged by blood returning after a period of ischemia (lack of oxygen). This is particularly crucial in the treatment of heart disease and stroke.
"These data suggest that oral delivery of Vitamin C encapsulated in liposomes: 1) produces circulating concentrations of Vitamin C that are greater than traditional oral administration; and, 2) provides protection from ischemia-reperfusion that is similar to the protection provided by intravenous administration." [4]
Results of the study showed that more Vitamin C was detected in the blood of test subjects who took liposomal Vitamin C supplements compared to those who took traditional Vitamin C supplements. In addition, the liposomal Vitamin C preparation displayed the same efficacy as intravenous Vitamin C. in protecting against tissue damage. (Intravenous administration of Vitamin C offers 100% bioavailability and is considered the most efficacious.)
So how do liposomal delivery systems apply to CBD?
Currently there is minimal scientific research pertaining to liposomal CBD, thus creating a need for more well-designed clinical research. However, a new patent-pending technology has emerged from a study of hemp liposomal delivery, and we are impressed by the results.
This revolutionary liposomal delivery system is called CELLg8® hemp liposomes and is set to dramatically change the cannabis world.
Credit: Adapted from https://www.puffinhemp.com
Next Generation Liposomal Delivery: Enter CELLg8™
Developed by Valimenta, this innovative liposomal delivery system promises even greater absorption rates, specifically of CBD. According to a recent study, Cellg8 liposomes led to absorption rates up to 17 times higher than traditional oral preparations.
This is but one study, but reveals the potential for such technology, and the need for larger, global exploration.
Our new liposomal CBD tincture 300 is not only exceptional and superior to other hemp-based products because of this innovative technology. Its other superpower is a full-spectrum profile that dramatically increasing CBD's potency and efficacy.
Our new liposomal CBD tincture 300mg's novel delivery technology offers optimal absorption, or, superior bioavailability. It is flavored with the fresh taste of fruity citrus to enhance compliance. We recommend consulting with your physician prior to adding a CBD product to your daily routine.

Does Melbourne need another restaurant Yes… when it's a BRAND!
Why would patrons pay over $500 bucks for a meal?
Can it be the unique ingredients in Heston Blumenthal's products?
Is it the quality and professionalism of his staff?
What about the ambiance of his restaurant?
Can it be the personal brand status that has transformed him from a humble chef to a celebrity entrepreneur?
The backlash was swift last week when Heston Blumenthal announced that a meal at Fat Duck Melbourne would cost $525 a head, excluding, making it one of Australia's most expensive restaurants.
In defending the bill, Blumenthal said shipping restaurant equipment from Bray, outside of London, to Crown, along with staff relocation, added substantially to his costs.
Crown is putting up his entire British staff of about 50 at Southbank for six months. Blumenthal said he was worried they wouldn't want to go back when the restaurant returned to its newly renovated premises in Bray.
To date, Crown has received almost 40,000 booking enquiries for the Fat Duck.
Australians willing to brave the expense will have to go into an online ballot for a chance to experience his 12- to 16-course menu.
The ballot, to be run through Crown's website, will be open from October 8 to 26. The restaurant opens on February 3, 2015 and will conclude on August 15, 2015.
