SLO: Limit Three-Point Shots
Slovenia played a good game against France, as their offence was able to challenge even defensive stalwart Rudy Gobert. However, if Slovenia hope to win against Australia, they'll need to do what they couldn't against France and limit three-point shots.
In their semi-final loss to France, Slovenia allowed their opponents to hit 12 three-pointers on 25 attempts. Their two-point defense was better, where they only allowed the French to convert on 38% of their attempts.
If Slovenia want to take a medal home, they need to sort out their defensive issues. From their Olympic performances, the offensive end shouldn't be a concern for them.
Slovenia Key Player: (C) Mike Tobey
Slovenia came up short in their semi-final matchup against France, but center Mike Tobey did his utmost to keep them competitive.
Tobey posted an impressive 23 points, eight rebounds, and two assists in his last game against France. He also did an excellent job against France's Rudy Gobert, despite the loss.
With Baynes out of this matchup, Slovenia have the advantage in the paint. Tobey has been aggressive all tournament long. His production in the paint can quickly turn a game in Slovenia's favor.
AUS: Maintain the Pace
The Olympic tournament is an exhausting process, which showed for Australia in their last game against the United States. After forfeiting their first half lead to the USA, Australia find themselves battling for Bronze.
After winning the first half against the United States, Australia lost the second half 55 to 33. The 20-plus points swing spelled their end, but also signalled their need to pace themselves through four-quarters.
Slovenia play at a high-tempo, with options from range and inside. Controlling the pace of the game is crucial to Australia's success. If they can't set the pace of the game early, Slovenia could run them right out of a medal.
Australia Key Player: (F) Joe Ingles
When Australia got off to their stellar start against the United States, it was Joe Ingles who powered their run. Whether shooting from range or creating for others, Ingles was fantastic. However he, and many others, lost their pace as the game wore on.
In 28 minutes of play, Ingles posted nine points, two rebounds, and two assists. Despite his strong first quarter, he struggled to get involved for the last three quarters of Australia's semi-final matchup.
In their bronze medal game against Slovenia, he needs to stay aggressive in order to help the Boomers keep pace. If he struggles to stay involved, Australia may go home medal-less.

Why We Have Such Complicated Feelings About Eating Horses
Horse meat has rarely gone down easy.
by Eric Grundhauser March 16, 2017
Scandal Week
For obvious reasons, it's tough to eat horses. Icemen-29/CC BY-SA 4.0
In many cuisines—Chinese, French, French Canadian, Kazakh—eating horse is no big deal, and sometimes even considered a delicacy. But in the U.S., the U.K., and much of the modern English-speaking world, the idea of horses as food is considered a big no-no, even among avid meat eaters.
The practice of eating horses goes back to the time of early man, with evidence of horse consumption dating back to the Paleolithic era. But using horses as food has long presented both practical and emotional quandaries. Almost universally, horses have long been seen as companions and beasts of burden. "It's an animal we anthropomorphize, but it also comes from this tradition of herbivores that we feel more comfortable eating," says Amy Bentley, a Food Studies professor at New York University, who has never tried horse meat herself. "So, I'm sure that makes it more flexible in that way."

There has also been a nearly ever-present religious objection to eating horse. Religions such as Judaism forbid the consumption of certain animals*, including horses, as a general tenet. Within Christianity, horse-eating became taboo with a papal decree in 732, when Pope Gregory III deemed the consumption of horse meat to be a pagan practice (possibly in an effort to preserve horses for more practical purposes, such as war). This decree still forms much of the historical foundation of the Christian aversion to eating horse.
The cultural development surrounding the production and eating of horse meat differs from country to country, but for the most part, it has been eaten out of necessity. "Here's this huge animal with hundreds of pounds of meat on it," says Bentley. "If you're going to eat animals, it's a pretty logical animal to eat."
In places such as the U.S. and the U.K., horse has been eaten during war and recession, when other animal foods weren't easily available. This has given equine meat a reputation as a cheap food eaten mainly by the poor.

In both the U.S. and the U.K., the countries that today are arguably the most easily offended by the concept, eating horse meat was not uncommon into the 1930s, although it was often passed off as more desirable meats.
In America, horse-meat consumption tapered off slowly, as traditional taboos reasserted themselves along with economic growth and people's ability to be choosier about what they ate. "It is a luxury to declare certain foods off-limits," says Bentley.
The practice did, however, hold on in certain circles. A 2007 article in The New York Times mentions several situations in which horse meat briefly came back into vogue (or never left). For instance, in 1950s Oregon, horse meat experienced a small comeback and Time even shared cooking tips in an article about the trend. As explored in an article on Priceonomics, during the post-boom recession in the mid-1970s, the price of beef soared, and a shop in Connecticut started selling horse meat. It became so popular that they were eventually able to put out a cookbook.
In at least one case it wasn't poverty, but tradition that kept horse in people's mouths. The Harvard Faculty Club kept horse on the menu into the late 1970s, largely due to the fact that the meat was taboo. It made their little club feel even more exclusive. They only stopped serving it when it became difficult for the delivery truck to reach the club.
But from the 1980s on, eating horse meat became even more of a cultural bogeymeat. Probably the most famous case of horse meat causing a scandal in the U.S. occurred in 1981, when a food producer from Australia was found to be selling horse (and kangaroo) meat to the U.S., labeled as beef. The meat was headed for fast-food chain Jack in the Box, to be used in their tacos. The meat never made it to the mouths of customers, but the persistent rumor that the chain was using horse meat lasted for years.
Headlines from the height of the 2013 scandal. Mikey/CC BY 2.0
In 2013, a scandal rocked the U.K. when it was discovered that many of the meats being sold as beef in grocery stores and fast-food chains were in fact horse meat. In some cases, horse meat was found to be mixed in with actual beef, while in others, the whole thing was 100 percent mislabelled horse meat. The scandal led to months' worth of headlines, multiple investigations as to the origins of the illicit flesh, and emptied supermarket shelves as millions of burgers were recalled.
Some of the religious implications of unknowingly consuming the meat were no joke, but any health risks were negligible aside from a concern about veterinary horse drugs making it into food. Once again, the actual problem was mostly about the fact that the meat was misrepresented, pointing out major holes in the supply chain that allowed horse meat to be substituted for the advertised meat. Still, the public's response was revulsion.
According to a 2014 BBC article, the horse-meat scandal caused many British shoppers to start going directly to the butcher as opposed to buying pre-processed meat that might contain horse. When speaking about how people had soured on frozen foods after the scandal, a representative for one consumer research company said: "It kind of confirmed matters when people saw that a frozen ready meal turned out to be all horse and no meat." For many, horse simply isn't for eating.
From France to Germany to Italy, people still enjoy horse meat in limited amounts, and countries such as Mexico and Canada still export horse meat all across the world (even the U.S. had horse slaughterhouses for export until 2007). But horse meat still makes headlines. The European Union is working on tightening regulations to avoid a repeat of the 2013 scandal, and there are still stories of people smuggling horse meat into countries where it is seen as taboo. Things may eventually get dire enough that horse meat will once again seem acceptable in the English-speaking world, but until then, it's likely to remain pretty scandalous, mainly because of our love of our equine pals. "I think My Little Pony might kill it actually," says Bentley. "There's way too many My Little Ponies out there."
*Correction: Previously the article stated that eating horse was forbidden in Islam which is incorrect, it is only looked down upon by certain schools of thought, not prohibited. The reference was removed.

Off we go again
Jim and I are getting ready to head off to three more states: Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, plus Washington, D.C. and a bonus return visit to Virginia — a state we visited back in May 2012. I knew when we set this trip up that it was awfully early in the spring to be traveling to this part of the country, and I was nervous about the weather. Now that we're actually going, I'm mostly concerned about what kind of coat to bring. As of this morning, it is snowing in Washington, D.C. (as it is here in Ames), and the forecast is for highs in the upper 40s and low 50s by the end of the week. In Lancaster, Pa., our destination for Thursday, it is also snowing today and the forecast says it will be 26 degrees when we arrive, with a high on Thursday of 39 degrees. That sounds like a winter coat to me. Although I'm not too keen on wearing my winter coat in the rain…so this mixing of seasons is sort of freaking me out. Oh, well, I figure whatever I take will be wrong, so I just have to accept that. I will let you know how it all turns out.
Sunshine in a glass
What could possibly be more "Florida" than orange juice?
The state of Florida produces 67 percent of all U.S. oranges and accounts for 40 percent of the world's orange juice supply. Next to tourism, citrus production is one of the top moneymakers for the state.
Tropicana buys 30 percent of all oranges grown in Florida. The Tropicana plant in Bradenton, Fla., processes 50 million oranges a day. That translates into a million gallons of orange juice.
Brenda Lanning Marlow ('88 consumer food science) is a manager in manufacturing at Tropicana, where she's worked in a variety of positions for the past 21 years. She's a quality control expert, working to roll out new products, keep production costs down, and improve efficiencies in the manufacturing process.
During our visit to the plant in mid-February, Brenda gave Jim and me a tour of just a small part of the huge, 285-acre plant, including the fruit-receiving area where truck after truck filled with fresh-smelling oranges pulled in and dumped their loads.
A Marshalltown, Iowa, native, Brenda is an avid Cyclone sports fan, as evidenced by her office decorated with Iowa State posters and other paraphernalia ("I really didn't do this for the photos," she insists. "It always looks like this. Just ask my co-workers.") She's also the president of the ISU Alumni Association Club of Tampa.
As we prepared to leave, Brenda gave each of us two cold cartons of orange juice to drink on the road. And then she mentioned, as if it were no big deal, a huge personal accomplishment: She recently lost more than 90 pounds and has begun organizing Weight Watchers meetings for a group of co-workers, resulting in more than 100 pounds of weight loss within the group just over the past few weeks. Wow – that's truly impressive leadership.
Brenda is married to Steven Marlow and has two stepchildren, Joshua and Rachel.
A perfect match
At first glance, Rafael Perez-Micheli and Bridget Moore seem like total opposites.
Bridget ('02 English) grew up in Ames, Iowa, the daughter of "hippie" parents. She was a "nature girl" who loved to get her hands dirty, to go camping, and to crawl under things looking for salamanders.
Rafi, as he prefers to be called, ('97 art & design, '03 graphic design) grew up in a large city in Puerto Rico, the son of conservative parents. He'd only been to the United States once before enrolling at ISU: to visit Disney World. And he'd never seen snow.
The two met in the unlikeliest of places: Hickory Park Restaurant in Ames. Bridget was an on-again-off-again college student working as a waitress; Rafi was following in his sisters' footsteps attending Iowa State and was working as a cook.
Their home in Sanford, Fla., is the perfect mix of their backgrounds: Its size, downtown area, and vibe remind Bridget of Ames. The summer heat reminds Rafi of Puerto Rico. They both agree that they "love everything about this town." Sanford is home to an annual film festival, monthly juried art shows and street parties, funky bars and restaurants, art galleries, theatres, a farmers market, and antiques stores.
"The town is disgustingly cute," Bridget says, laughing. "It's an oddball town, with musicians and artists and creatives going in a hipster direction."
The couple has been together 16 years and married for 10; they moved to Sanford in 2004. Bridget, who has a master's in English with a technical writing focus from the University of Central Florida, is a proposal development supervisor for Akimeka, LLC, an IT services firm. Akimeka has multiple office locations; Bridget works in the corporate office in Maitland, Fla., just north of Orlando. Rafi is an art director for the Parenting Group at Bonnier Corporation, which is owned by the Swedish Bonnier Group. He works at the Winter Park location of Bonnier Corp.
When Jim and I visited them on a Saturday in mid-February, they were shopping for fresh produce at a farmers market in downtown Sanford. It was such a nice change of pace from central Iowa in the winter to see fresh okra, avocadoes, strawberries, cabbage, radishes, beets, and kale. Both Rafi and Bridget eat a healthy diet: Rafi recently ran his first Disney Half Marathon, and Bridget finds a wide variety of gluten-free foods in Sanford's restaurants, bakeries, and markets.

Trump Presidential Lie-brary
From our current affairs editor Lemuel Stuart III:
The architectural firm of Swindler, Sham and Huckster has been hired by Donald Trump to build several massive presidential "Lie-braries." The first Lie-brary will be combined with a Center for Russian Studies, and it will be located in Calumny, Kentucky.
"Trump is telling lies at such an incredible rate," said project manager Anthony "Tony Scars" Santorelli, "we had to get rolling with the plans immediately."
"We need to start pouring the cement, if ya know what I mean," he laughed. "We need to start pouring the cement."
According to Santorelli, at the rate Trump is telling lies, every state in the union will be home to a Trump Presidential Lie-brary.
Pictured below: The first Donald J. Trump Presidential Lie-brary & Center for Russian Studies to be located in Calumny, Kentucky. Project Manager Anthony "Tony Scars" Santoelli said that the building will be "massive," the largest building in North America.

Mira Fuchrer (Varsovia, 1920-ibídem, 8 de mayo de 1943) fue una activista del movimiento de resistencia judía en el gueto de Varsovia, miembro de la Organización Judía de Combate y participante del Levantamiento del gueto de Varsovia.

Biografía
Mira Fuchrer nació en Varsovia. Fue miembro de la Organización Juvenil Judía Hashomer Hatzair, donde probablemente conoció a Mordechai Anielewicz. Mira y Mordechai se hicieron pareja. En septiembre de 1939, se fue a Vilna con Anielewicz. Regresaron a Varsovia en enero de 1940. En noviembre ambos se encontraron en el gueto de Varsovia.

En el gueto, Mira trabajó junto con sus compañeras Towa Frenkel y Rachela Zilberberg en una pequeña sastrería. En 1942 trabajaba como oficial de enlace en varios guetos.

Durante el Levantamiento luchó en el llamado gueto central. El 8 de mayo de 1943, junto con Mordechai Anielewicz y un grupo de unos 120 insurgentes, se encontró en un búnker en la calle Miła 18. Cuando el búnker fue descubierto y rodeado por los alemanes, los combatientes no querían rendirse. Después de la llamada de Arie Wilner, la mayoría se suicidó.

Conmemoración
El nombre de Mira Fuchrer figura en un obelisco conmemorativo erigido en 2006, al pie del búnker Anielewicz, junto con los nombres de otros 50 insurgentes cuya identidad se había podido establecer.

Gender Swapping Takes Hollywood by Storm (and we're already tired of it)
After the critically-praised and box office failure Ghostbusters (2016), Hollywood is on a roll with not just remakes in general, but ones featuring gender-swapping. The latest is a female-centered Ocean's Eight set to star Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina. Upon release of this news, a supposed Ocean's Eleven fanclub came out in protest with battle cries of "How could women do this?" and "Hollywood has run out of ideas".But it's not like remakes are anything new.
Consider: the newly announced A Star Is Born (2018) is a remake of A Star Is Born (1976) which is a remake of A Star Is Born (1954) which is a remake of A Star Is Born (1937). The upcoming Steven Soderburgh produced Ocean's Eight feels right at home in following Soderburgh's remake franchise of the original Frank Sinatra version from 1960. (Is your head's spinning yet? Mine is. *sigh*)
If most stories in books to comic books and films are recycled and remakes have existed since yesteryear, is gender-swapping a problem? how do we solve it?
As superhero franchises, adaptations, sequels, and spin-offs take over the movie calendar, remakes prove Hollywood has run out of ideas. And, gender swapping may gradually worsen the genre's already poor reputation.
As female actors replace roles previously assumed by male actors, news of the casting is designed to create buzz. However, the news is more or less coming across as boring. Instead of movie goers growing excited about the go-to tool Hollywood is using to get butts into the seats, it seems flipping sexes is only engaging people into man or woman hating. Adding to the misogyny and misandry pot, flicks focusing on female gender-swapping receive more negative feedback than male-swapping.
Splash is another remake on the chopping block. The film centers on Tom Hanks' Allen falling in love with a woman who is secretly a mermaid and living out this wild fantasy of being her beau. In the newer version, Channing Tatum will star as the merman while and Jillian Bell takes over Hank's role. The details have already received positive support across the board. As audiences ride the waves until Tatum scales the scene, Ocean's Eight is already looking to avoid a misogynist reception.
In all of this effort to empower performers and audiences, Hollywood is essentially missing the point. Women can offer more representation without having to be forever associated with re-creating "men's films". Or without the one male role in a female-flick being the sexy idiot. The truest way for remakes to succeed is not to just switch sexes, but ensure that the quality in how characters are written, directed, and portrayed is good or better than the average remake.
Ghostbusters might have not been a box office success, but it was praised by critics and audiences for giving women the opportunity to be seen as funny, smart, and capable individuals who kick ghoulish asses. It's one of the reasons I loved the revamp, and the same could be said for Ocean's Eight if turns out that all of this gender-swapping is just white noise. But the vitriol reception director Paul Fieg's recreation received cast the film into the ether before it's official release, only furthering a reflection of rampant sexism. And it hasn't halted Dan Aykroyd's plans for his all-male reboot set.
Real opportunity for layered characters exists. But Ghostbusters failed in this regard when it came to Chris Hemsworth's role. As tongue-in-cheek commentary on the male gaze, he's pretty much reduced to the beefcake secretary, he's funny but dumber than dumber and just there to be a eye candy. While there's nothing wrong to slobber over celebrity hotness, the Thor actor wasn't used to the best of his abilities - especially considering his hilarious stunts hosting SNL. Just like the wives in the Ocean's Eleven movies, he's almost so useless he might as well not be in the movie. The movie has great female leads, but his performance is surface-level.
One of the positive qualities Hollywood has going for it with gender-swapping is that, like Ghostbusters, it might improve representation and raise the bar of speaking roles versus shedding clothes. Women, while replacing men, have an opportunity to make their casts as diverse as possible, opening more opportunities to women of color gracing the screen too. However, critics are trying to use the history of women being treated as objects to excuse men to pay their dues. It's sad, that so far, gender swapping is limiting performers into one-dimension.
A dire doubt emerges in these seas of clones: if studios are so focused on remaking male-dominated films, do they believe women can't sell movies? that it's advantageous to tie them to a previously "masculine" franchise? What will happen to our own unique stories if Ghostbusters and Ocean's Eight aren't simply creative anomalies?
In 2015, director George Miller created post-apocalypse action thriller Mad Max: Fury Road. No harm, no foul, the flick was the fourth installment of his series, and it still proved to be one of the most innovative, game-changing movies of that year and years to come. Additionally, women weren't the only driving force of the film, but the production team such as the editor were the heart of his crazy, imaginative adventure. Meanwhile Tom Hardy's Mad Max nor the villain Immortan Joe were reduced to tropes. It wasn't just a "she movie" or a "he movie"; it transcended type in more ways than one.
The remake genre is notorious for sucking. Fresh stories ignite imagination so much more than cardboard cut-outs. Unfortunately, wholly original mainstream movies that aren't a spin-off, an adaptation, a sequel, apart of a franchise or a remake seem all too rare. In actuality, movies should incorporate all people; not "assign a gender" to tick off certain boxes. If remakes are going to tackle gender-swapping, they can't rest on being carbon copies.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

William Conger is a Chicago-based artist whose work is exhibited in Chicago and nationally. He is represented in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, other museums and numerous collections in the U.S. and abroad. The Chicago Cultural Center will present a major 50-year retrospective of his paintings in 2009. William Conger is professor emeritus of art theory and practice at Northwestern University and is former professor of art at DePaul University.
Neoteric Art: Is producing a solid monochromatic painting still relevant today?
William Conger: My immediate answer to the question is to say of course a solid monochromatic painting can still be relevant today.
There are several ambiguities to this question. First, monochromatic. Is there really such a condition since any variation of light would alter how we see a color, and since each of us may also respond differently to a color for both psychological and physical reasons, how do we recognize a color? Second, painting. The word painting means more nowadays than applying pigment. We can paint with computers, digitally, and we can paint with light, or even with appropriated surfaces, etc., so what do we mean by painting? I prefer the broadest definition. Third, still relevant. The implication here is that the relevancy of artworks is tied to time's arrow. But it's not necessary that relevancy be linked to transience. Art may have a transient relevance in one context, like stylistic or with respect to an artist's development, or even in terms of the art market, and yet still retain a stable relevance in other contexts, as with one's personal valuing, audience reception, or art's social function, or its historical status, and the like. Finally, today. Here's another elastic word that doesn't need to mean simply 24 clock hours. In this context one assumes today means some uncertain period, from perhaps weeks to years, maybe even decades (although the art world seems to prefer its art in decade or half-decade sized lumps). As we all know, there are many today's going on simultaneously in the art world. One of them is monochromatic painting and similar process oriented art that aims to conflate the literal with the immaterial or object with sensation. Who knows, there may be a way to make or conceptualize monochromatic paintings that we've not yet seen (and which echoes the techy age in which more and more variants of anything are offered as progress).
This leads me to wonder if the question is really an art question or a misapplied business/marketing type question. For instance, it seems more in keeping with the implications of the question to ask, "Is a one-color automobile still relevant today?" Was Warhol right when he equated art and business and do the slogans that define and guide business and merchandising also define and guide art?
I am reminded of Delecroix's comment somewhere in his Journals, which I paraphrase: What has been done has not yet been done enough. So my concluding answer is still yes, all forms of artmaking and all manners, [solid] monochromatic or whatever else, are always potentially relevant in the hands of the right artists—if we recognize that relevance may be necessary but never sufficient to art.
And that begs a harder question: Is art relevant, necessary, and sufficient, particularly when it is indistinguishable from business and marketing theory and practice?
Yes William, the Delecroix comment sums it up nicely. My question: When is art indistinguishable from business?
I think art is relevant, but may not be as relevant to us as in the past. Just about any human endeavor can be thought of as a business and anything that is a business will always be relevant. Every business creates roles for people and these roles give people purpose in the larger sense and supports life in the more immediate sense.
I went to your last show at Boyd several times and love to tell you how much I liked it, the idea of letting the hand be visible in the painting is something that obviously I love. thanks.

Dallas Art Fair Lures Designers, Clients

DALLAS — Artists, 95 galleries and their patrons converged here for the Dallas Art Fair held at Fashion Industry Gallery plus a string of art-related galas and parties that also attracted designers.
"I'm very surprised and delighted by what's going on in Dallas with the arts scene," commented Lisa Perry. "It's very cool, very interesting. There was a great vibe, great energy last night at the Art Fair."
Perry, who spent a day meeting customers at Forty Five Ten, donated a dress to the Art Ball benefiting the Dallas Museum of Art, and store president Brian Bolke coordinated her five-day visit to coincide with the third annual Dallas Arts Week.
"We got a schedule a couple weeks ago [from Bolke] and it was like, whoa, a five-page schedule," said Perry, who began selling to Forty Five Ten this season. "After two weeks of packing for every event, here we are."
Clustered in the once moribund downtown and adjacent Design District, Arts Week events included an opening at the Dallas Contemporary featuring Nate Lowman, David Salle and Anila Quayyum Agha; the 50th annual Art Ball; MTV RE:DEFINE, a charitable bash and contemporary art auction supporting the Dallas Contemporary and MTV's foundation for AIDS education; a private preview of Christie's upcoming modern and contemporary art auction, and the Eye Ball, an outdoor finale hosted by the Joule hotel and its billionaire owner, arts supporter and downtown booster Tim Headington.
Some visitors, including nine New York editors and reporters on a press junket organized by Nadine Johnson, also toured private collections of city art pillars Cindy and Howard Rachofsky, Amy and Vernon Faulconer, Deedie and Rusty Rose, and Marguerite Hoffman. There were also lectures and performances at various institutions.
In addition, the Rachofskys hosted a luncheon and mini shop for Perry at their Richard Meier-designed home, where 20 guests snapped up about 40 pieces, according to Bolke.
It was the first year that all these happenings were packed into one week, but what seemed like a potential bonanza for fashion retailers didn't necessarily work out that way.
"I think in the end it was way too much at one time, and hopefully next year some of these events shift to the week before or after," Bolke reflected. "Because no one could do everything, I think they chose to go to less events, then ironically bought less. If they were spread out, I think people would have bought more new outfits overall."
At Stanley Korshak, owner Crawford Brock got a "few customers" from all the hoopla but said "it's hard to tell" because the store's main entry is blocked by construction of an esplanade.
However, Elements boutique enjoyed a nice boost from Arts Week, according to manager Stevie Moore.
Moore said the store saw "a lot of new customers that are typically department store shoppers coming in looking for something more unique to wear. We also saw a lot of regular customers feeling a little more adventurous stylistically so we were able to introduce them to some new looks and designers."
Johnson Hartig was happily surprised that his first trunk show at Neiman Marcus' flagship coincided with the festivities. The designer hauled 30 trunks of fanciful Libertine frocks, coats and cashmere sweaters to the downtown store, offering spring and fall goods for sale off the rack instead of to order.
"It's the most perfect accident because our clothes are collected by a lot of major art collectors," Hartig said. "It all came about because of the success we've had at Bergdorf Goodman with our trunk shows…We take over an entire section and we do like $400,000."
"The growth of the Dallas Art Fair alone – from 35 art dealers seven years ago to 95 this year – is an indication of how the cultural life of the city of Dallas is thriving," observed Jim Gold, president and chief merchandising officer of Neiman Marcus Group. "Not too many years back, the idea of creating a nationally recognized Dallas Art Week would have been considered highly unlikely. It is very exciting to see Dallas' museums, cultural institutions and businesses unite to offer such a rich experience and draw national interest in our art scene."
VBH designer Bruce Hoeksema, who flew in from Paris for his goddaughter's christening, attended some Arts Week parties.
"Is it always like this?" he asked. "Whenever I'm here it seems like there are 3 million things going on."
Visiting Stanley Korshak, which displays a wall of his handbags, Hoeksema noted that early this year he closed his big New York flagship on Madison Avenue at 72nd St. and established a 750-square-foot boutique within the Four Seasons Hotel.
"I feel like we were missing the new Chinese clientele, the Russians and people who don't make it that far up Madison when they are shopping," he explained. "We wanted to be more in the center where the action is. You cannot come into the hotel without seeing it. Nowadays we have to make it easier for people to access the brand, and that is a perfect venue because it's a hotel full of our clientele."
Also appearing at Korshak was Maria Cornejo, who was intrigued by the arts action.
"It's just a coincidence, but if we do [a trunk show] again we'll make sure it overlaps because I would love to stay for the Art Fair," Cornejo said. "There's a lot going on this week. It's funny because a lot of our clients are artists and gallerists."
Monique Péan and her husband, Stephen Glass, were feted earlier in the week with a party and jewelry sale at the home of Katherine Perot Reeves and an appearance at Ylang 23.
"I just had the privilege of seeing The Warehouse [private art gallery], which is incredible," Péan said. "It rivals many of the collections I've seen in New York."
John Sughrue, co-owner of the Dallas Art Fair and FIG, was pleased with the momentum.
"The highlight of the week for me was our Deutsche VIP collector luncheon prior to our gala where we anticipated 300 guests and the actual number of attendees exceeded 600," he said. "At that moment, I knew the Dallas Arts Week was going to blow the roof off the house."

Q: How to use vector representation of words (as obtained from Word2Vec,etc) as features for a classifier? I am familiar with using BOW features for text classification, wherein we first find the size of the vocabulary for the corpus which becomes the size of our feature vector. For each sentence/document, and for all its constituent words, we then put 0/1 depending on the absence/presence of that word in that sentence/document.
However, now that I am trying to use vector representation of each word, is creating a global vocabulary essential?

A: Suppose the size of the vectors is N (usually between 50 or 500). The naive way of generalizing the traditional of generalizing BOW is just replacing 0 bit (in BOW) with N zeros, and replacing 1 bit (in BOW) with the the real vector (say from Word2Vec). Then the size of the features would be N * |V| (Compared to |V| feature vectors in the BOW, where |V| is the size of the vocabs). This simple generalization should work fine for decent number of training instances.
To make the feature vectors smaller, people use various techniques like using recursive combination of vectors with various operations. (See Recursive/Recurrent Neural Network and similar tricks, for example: http://web.engr.illinois.edu/~khashab2/files/2013_RNN.pdf or http://papers.nips.cc/paper/4204-dynamic-pooling-and-unfolding-recursive-autoencoders-for-paraphrase-detection.pdf )

A: To get a fixed length feature vector for each sentence, although the number of words in each sentence is different, do as follows:

*

*tokenize each sentence into constituent words

*for each word get word vector (if it is not there ignore the word)

*average all the word vectors you got

*this will always give you a d-dim vector (d is word vector dim)

below is the code snipet
def getWordVecs(words, w2v_dict):
    vecs = []
    for word in words:
        word = word.replace('\n', '')
        try:
            vecs.append(w2v_model[word].reshape((1,300)))
        except KeyError:
            continue
    vecs = np.concatenate(vecs)
    vecs = np.array(vecs, dtype='float')
    final_vec = np.sum(vecs, axis=0)
return final_vec

words is list of tokens obtained after tokenizing a sentence.

'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' ending completely reshot due to 'parallels' with another superhero movie (exclusive)
According to James McAvoy, X-Men: Dark Phoenix underwent lengthy reshoots to change the film's ending after it was discovered that it bore a striking resemblance to another superhero film that was also in production.
The latest X-Men film, in cinemas 5 June, originally wrapped production in October 2017. It was extensively retooled during reshoots over a year later in August-September 2018, pushing the film's release date back first from March 2018 to February 2019, then later to June this year.
The official line from everyone around the shoot is that the film's ending - originally set in space - was changed to an earthbound sequence to give the finale a more grounded feel.

However, James McAvoy, who plays a conflicted Charles Xavier in Dark Phoenix, says there's more to it than that. Talking about the reshoots, McAvoy admits to Yahoo Movies UK: "The end [of Dark Phoenix] changed a hell of a lot."
"The finale HAD to change. There was a lot of overlap and parallels with another superhero movie that came out... a while ago. And we had no idea that we were..."
"They had spies on set," interjects co-star Michael Fassbender, returning for a fourth time as Erik "Magneto" Lensherr, "and [they] basically stole our ideas."
"We were basically trawling through the source material it seems," finishes McAvoy.
Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy spill the beans on those Dark Phoenix reshoots.
The duo wouldn't be drawn on which rival superhero movie they were referring to, leaving it wide open to speculation.
Looking at the release schedule from Dark Phoenix's wrap date in October 2017 to now, there have been 11 major live action DC or Marvel superhero movies in cinemas during that period: Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Venom, Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Shazam!, and Avengers: Endgame.
Of those films, only Thor: Ragnarok, Infinity War, Captain Marvel, and Endgame have had lengthy space-set sequences that could potentially clash with Dark Phoenix's original climax. Interestingly, Disney's acquisition of Fox - the studio behind Dark Phoenix - was first reported in November 2017, during the post-production phase on the new X-Men film.
The planned merger might have led to a "show and tell" meeting, with execs at the two rival superhero studios at Fox and Disney (Marvel Studios) looking over each other's upcoming slates to ensure there were no clashes between their films. But which Marvel Studios film specifically might have been trawling "through the same source material"? We think there are two likely contenders.
Simon Kinberg, director of Dark Phoenix, previously stated they'd also changed the VFX around Jean Grey's (Sophie Turner) transformation into Dark Phoenix to make it more "cosmic" and less "flamy".
Flame on: Early Dark Phoenix publicity stills showed a much more fiery look for Jean Grey. This has been changed in the final film for something very different. (20th Century Fox/Marvel Studios)
This suggests the clash may have been with Captain Marvel, which saw Brie Larson's Carol Danvers assuming her superhero abilities with a flame-like aura around her. That film also had a space-set climax, with Captain Marvel seeing off Ronan's Kree spaceship in earth's orbit.
Another contender could be Infinity War. In the comics, The Dark Phoenix Saga - written by Chris Claremont with art by John Byrne - published in 1980, climaxes in space with a battle between the X-Men and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard on the "Blue Area of the Moon". It may have been very similar to the Titan-set battle in the 2018 Avengers film between Thanos and Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Regardless of the reasons behind the change, the cast all agree the film is better off for it.
"I think it's so much better for the reshoots," says Sophie Turner.
"It was just one of those things that was where the third act... you watch the first two acts and the third act just didn't feel cohesive. We went back and we redid all of the third act, pretty much, and it was such a good decision.
"The third act is the best part of the movie for me."

Jessica Chastain, who plays a mysterious shape-shifting alien in Dark Phoenix, says she found the script changes challenging.
"My character changed a lot," explains Chastain.
"Which is an interesting thing, because i'm not playing someone from the comics, so it was almost like everyday trying to figure out 'who am I?', the mystery of who is this character. And then understanding that also with the reshoots realising it was changing again.

"It was a constant evolution, which I guess in some sense is like theatre. It always moves, it's never really done."

On 28 June 2017, Advocate General Sanchez-Bordona (AG) presented his opinion in case C-329/16 Syndicat national de l'industrie des technologies médicales and Philips France following a request for preliminary ruling from the Conseil d'État (France) to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) concerning the laws governing the classification of software medical devices.
The AG's opinion is not binding on the CJEU, but it provides useful guidance on the application of the EU medical devices Directive 93/42/EEC (the MDD) to software programs. Importantly, it confirms the position set out in the Commission's MEDDEV 2.1/6 guidance that software which merely stores and archives data is not a medical device; the software must perform an action on data (i.e., it must interpret and/or change the data).
EU national courts use the preliminary ruling procedure if they are in doubt about the interpretation or validity of an EU law. In such cases, they may ask the CJEU for advice. The Advocate Generals provide the CJEU with public and impartial opinions to assist the Court in its decision making. The Advocate Generals' opinions are advisory and non-binding, but they are nonetheless influential. In the majority of cases the CJEU follows the Advocate General.
Philips France (Philips) manufactures and places on the EU market a software program called Intellispace Critical Care and Anesthesia (ICCA), which is used by physicians to provide information necessary for the proper administration of medicines for the purposes of resuscitation and anaesthesia. The software highlights possible contraindications, interactions with other medicines and excessive dosing. Philips classified the ICCA as a medical device under the MDD and the product bears a CE mark confirming that the software complies with the applicable requirements of the MDD.
Under French law, software programs intended to support medical prescriptions are subject to national certification requirements. The French Government's position is that the ICCA must comply with this national certification requirement. Further, it does not consider the ICCA to be a medical device within the meaning of Article 1(2)(a) of the MDD because the function of assisting with prescriptions does not fall under any of the defined purposes within the definition of a medical device.
Philips claimed that the national certification requirement should not apply as it amounted to a restriction on import, contrary to EU law, and that the French Government was in breach of Article 4(1) of the MDD, which provides that Member States must not restrict the placing on the market or the putting into service of medical devices bearing the CE mark within their territory.
The French Conseil d'État referred to the CJEU a request for a preliminary ruling on the question of whether software equivalent to the ICCA satisfies the definition of a medical device under the MDD.
The AG opinion suggests that Philips had correctly classified the ICCA as a medical device. It highlights that since the ICCA bears a CE mark and is freely marketed in 17 EU Member States, it benefits from a presumption of conformity with the MDD. It was a matter for the French Government to rebut this presumption, and it had failed to do so.
In order to qualify as a medical device, software must have a function beyond collection and archiving of data (i.e., it must have more than a purely administrative function). Rather, it must modify or interpret the data. The ICCA software includes an engine that allows healthcare professionals to calculate the prescription of medications and the duration of treatments. In light of such functions, the AG considers it difficult to maintain that the ICCA does not have a diagnostic or therapeutic purpose within the scope of the definition of a medical device. The ICCA is not a software program that is limited to administrative functions, but rather software that helps determine the proper prescription for the patient. It is therefore a medical device as it has the aim of "preventing, controlling, treating or alleviating a disease".
The fact that the ICCA does not act by itself in or on the human body does not preclude it from classification as a medical device. Contributing to the principal action of correcting the human body through the taking of medicinal products is sufficient.


Beautiful people eat "ugly" fruit.
In nature, there are fruits and vegetables of different shapes, sizes and colours. However, the preference of the main channels of distribution of aesthetically "perfect" products entails a loss of approximately 30% of the fruit and vegetables produced by farmers in Europe. The Fruta Feia (Ugly Fruit) cooperative emerges from the need to combat the inefficiency of the market by creating an alternative market for ugly fruits and vegetables that can change consumption patterns. Our proposal is a very transparent and colourful and lovable identity that aims to communicate the "quality stamp" of the ugly fruit.

Dayang Jingxuan (chiń. 大陽警玄, pinyin Dàyáng Jǐngxuán; kor. 대양경현 Taeyang Kyŏnghyŏn; jap. Taiyō Keigen; wiet. Đại Dương Khểnh Huyền; ur. 942, zm. 1027) – chiński mistrz chan szkoły caodong, uczeń mistrza chan Liangshana Yuanguana.

Życiorys
Pochodził z Jiangxia, obecnie miasto Wuchang w prow. Hubei.

W młodym wieku został nowicjuszem w klasztorze Chongxiao w Jingling (Nankin?), którego opatem był młodszy brat ojca – Zhitong. W wieku 19 lat przyjął pełną mnisią ordynację. Po tym jak zademonstrował Zhitongowi swoje najwyższe zrozumienie Yuanjue jing (Sutra doskonałego oświecenia), ten wysłał go do innych nauczycieli.

Najpierw praktykował u mistrza chan Yuanjiao Liaoyi. Niezadowolony z braku postępu wyruszył na poszukiwanie innych nauczycieli. W końcu zatrzymał się u mistrza chan szkoły caodong Liangshana Yuanguana. W wyniku wymiany zdań między nimi Jingxuan osiągnął oświecenie. Być może wydarzyło się to w 977 r. Po jakimś czasie mistrz zaaprobował jego zrozumienie i przekazał mu Dharmę tradycji caodong.

Po śmierci mistrza Jingxuan opuścił ten klasztor i udał się na górę Dayang obok Yingzhou (obecnie miasto Jingshan), leżącą w prowincji Hubei. Odwiedził tam mistrza Jiana (był to zapewne Dayan Huijian, mistrz szkoły caodong w 3 pokoleniu od Dongshana Liangjiego). Mistrz ten był pod takim wrażeniem Jingxuana, że zaproponował mu przejęcie klasztoru i zostanie jego opatem. Jingxuan zaakceptował propozycję. Był to 1000 r. i dla 58-letniego Jingxuana było to pierwsze opactwo.

Z biografii wiadomo, że prowadził dość ascetyczne życie. Zawsze jadł tylko jeden posiłek dziennie, nigdy nie opuścił tego klasztoru oraz nigdy nie kładł się do snu. Pomiędzy 1008 a 1016 r. zmienił swoje imię z Jingxuan na Jingyan

W wieku 80 lat. mistrz znalazł się w trudnej sytuacji, gdyż uczniowie, którym zamierzał przekazać Dharmę, zmarli przed nim. Aby ocalić szkołę caodong, mistrz przekazał Dharmę mistrzowi chan ze szkoły linji Fushanowi Fayuanowi (998–1067), który wyraził zgodę na poprowadzenie nauczania w duchu cadong.

16 dnia 7 miesiąca mistrz wszedł na miejsce nauczyciela i pożegnał się ze swoją kongregacją mnisią. Trzy dni później napisał wiersz zaadresowany Wangowi Shu (963–1043). Gdy skończył pisać, wypuścił pędzelek z dłoni i zmarł.

Prace literackie

 Dayang Ming'an dashi shiba bo miaoyu

Znaczenie mistrza
Dayang Jingxuan okazał się najważniejszym mistrzem chan szkoły caodong w historii. W momencie, gdy pozostała już tylko jedna linia przekazu Dharmy i dwóch dobrze rokujących uczniów, którzy mieli otrzymać od mistrza przekaz Dharmy, zmarło przed nim – mistrz zdecydował się na niespotykane rozwiązanie sytuacji. Poprosił słynnego wtedy mistrza chan ze szkoły linji – Fushana Fayuana, o dalsze poprowadzenie szkoły w duchu caodong, po jego śmierci.

Mistrz Fushan wyraził zgodę i po wielu latach przekazał Dharmę Dayanga i szkoły caodong bardzo zdolnemu uczniowi Touziemu Yiqingowi (1032–1083).

Uratowana w ten sposób jedna z dwu wielkich tradycji chanu, już za prawnuka w Dharmie Dayanga, wybitnego mistrza Furonga Daokaia (1043–1118) przeżyła wielki rozkwit. Zrewitalizowana szkoła została w 200 lat po mistrzu Dayangu przeniesiona do Japonii przez jednego z największych mistrzów zen w historii tego kraju – Dōgena.

One of the most world's most-popular male voice choirs is to perform in Caversham next month.
The 50-strong Fron Male Voice Choir, formed in 1947, is singing at St Anne's Church in Southview Avenue on Saturday, November 22.
The choir signed to Universal Records in 2006 and has since released five albums under the performing title of Voices of the Valley.
Its first, released in 2007, became the fastest-selling classical record of all time, achieved gold status – 100,000 sales – within three days of release and went on to become a double platinum album, with more than 600,000 sales.
Like Rock 'n' Ale, the choir concert is being sponsored by the Parish of Our Lady and St Anne's.
Parish priest Father Paul Martin said: "Music is such a marvellous way of bringing people together and we are delighted that as a parish we are able to put on this event for the benefit of the wider Caversham and Reading community.
The doors open at 7pm, with the choir and local accompanist David Webb performing from 7.30pm until approximately 10pm. Tickets, limited to 300, are £15. Call Mr Ryan on (0118) 958 4498 or go online at www.wegottickets.com to book.


PBL is an excellent vehicle for civic engagement, Zemelman's From Inquiry to Action will help teachers prepare students to become global, responsible, and respectful, says teacher Linda Biondi. Its stories from the classroom and research show what is achievable.

Die Grafschaft Wernigerode war ein Territorium des Heiligen Römischen Reichs Deutscher Nation.

Geschichte
Sie befand sich im Besitz der 1429 in männlicher Linie ausgestorbenen Grafen von Wernigerode, die als adelige Herrschaftsträger seit dem Hochmittelalter mehr als zwei Jahrhunderte am Nordharz zwischen Oker und Großem Bruch politisch relativ selbständig hervorgetreten sind.

Die Quellenlage gibt keinerlei Aufschluss, weshalb zu Beginn des 12. Jahrhunderts der aus Haimar (Region Hannover) stammende Graf Adalbert, der 1103 dort erstmals erwähnt und 1117 comes Adelbertus de villa Heymbere genannt wird, mit einem Mal am 18. Oktober 1121 als Adelbertus comes de Wernigerode in der Zeugenreihe einer vom Bischof Reinhard von Halberstadt ausgestellten Urkunde erscheint.

1268 verlor die Grafschaft Wernigerode die Reichsunmittelbarkeit, denn der Markgraf von Brandenburg übernahm die Lehnsherrschaft. Sie blieb – mit einer kurzen Unterbrechung – als Besitztum der standesherrlichen Familie Stolberg-Wernigerode (mit nur noch begrenzten Herrschaftsrechten) bis zum Ende der Monarchie in Preußen (1918) bestehen.

Noch bis zum ausgehenden 14. Jahrhundert blieben die Grafen von Wernigerode im Gebiet zwischen Hildesheim, Burgdorf und dem Steinwedeler Wald im Besitz von bedeutendem Grundeigentum.  Dessen umfangreiche Größe legt die Vermutung nah, dass der gräfliche Grundbesitz am Fuße des Harzes bei Wernigerode noch ausgedehnter und wertvoller war, so dass die Grafen veranlasst wurden, ihren alten Hauptsitz Haimar aufzugeben und sich hier niederzulassen.
Gleichwohl ist die Einschätzung gräflichen Grundbesitzes nach Umfang und Lukrativität stets von der Schwierigkeit behaftet, keine angemessene Bezugsgröße oder Grundgesamtheit gegenüberstellen zu können. Demnach ist es auch wahrscheinlich, dass die Herrschaftsmittelpunkte Haimar und Wernigerode zeitlich nebeneinander existiert haben. Der Stammsitz Wernigerode befand sich inmitten von Reichsgut. Nach der Sachsenspiegelvorrede Von der Herren Geburt waren die Grafen von Wernigerode gebürtige Schwaben. Unter diesem Aspekt erscheint auch eine Delegation früher Angehöriger des Geschlechts an den nördlichen Harzrand durch den Salierkaiser Heinrich IV. , der sich bei seiner Sachsenpolitik vornehmlich edelfreier und ministerialer Anhänger aus Schwaben bediente, ebenfalls naheliegend.
Weiterhin besaßen die Grafen von Wernigerode den Steinberg bei Goslar, nachweislich ein Reichsgut, auf dessen Sporn Kaiser Heinrich IV. seinen später ärgsten Rivalen, Otto von Northeim, eine Burg zu errichten beauftragt hatte. Vor dem Hintergrund der Konflikte des Kaisers mit Otto von Northeim und dem politischen Übergewicht der kaiserfreundlichen Adelsgruppierung am Harz nach dessen Tod (1083) ist eine Rechtsnachfolge durch Besitzanweisung an Graf Adalbert I. oder an einen seiner Vorfahren auf Betreiben Kaiser Heinrichs IV. anzunehmen.

Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung eines Grafen von Wernigerode im Jahre 1121 ist gleichzeitig die Ersterwähnung der Rodungssiedlung Wernigerode, deren Anfänge jedoch etwa ein Jahrhundert früher zu datieren sind. Die Burg Wernigerode wird erstmals im Jahre 1213 als castrum erwähnt und war ein Herrschaftsmittelpunkt der späteren Grafschaft Wernigerode.

Graf Heinrich von Wernigerode war der letzte männliche Vertreter dieses Adelsgeschlechtes. Er verlangte vom Erzbischof Günther II. von Magdeburg die Belehnung mit Schloss und Stadt Wernigerode für ihn selbst und seine beiden Stolberger Vettern Heinrich und Botho, die er am 30. Juni 1414 erhielt. Die Lehnsherrschaft über Stadt und Grafschaft Wernigerode hatte der Erzbischof von Magdeburg erst im Jahre 1381 nach langwierigen Auseinandersetzungen mit den Grafen von Wernigerode um deren Burg Pabstorf übernommen. Zuvor war die Stammgrafschaft Wernigerode ein Lehen der Mark Brandenburg. Die Grafen von Wernigerode hatten sich 1268 mit der Lehnsmutung bei den askanischen Markgrafen einen besseren Schutz von Schloss und Stadt Wernigerode gegen den übermächtigen Druck ihrer Nachbarn, insbesondere seitens des Herzogs von Braunschweig, erhofft. Die Erwartungen hatten sich jedoch auf Dauer nicht erfüllt. Der 1343 von den Grafen von Regenstein erworbene Teil deren Grafschaftsbereiches war hingegen ein Lehen des Hochstifts Halberstadt und speziell für dieses umfangreiche Gebiet erhielten die Stolberger bis zum Übergang Halberstadts an Kurbrandenburg separate Lehnsbriefe ausgestellt.

Einer der vom letzten Wernigeröder Grafen ausgewählten Erben, der Graf Heinrich zu Stolberg, starb bereits im jugendlichen Alter. Daraufhin ließ Graf Heinrich von Wernigerode im Jahre 1417 die Einwohner der Grafschaft auf Graf Botho zu Stolberg als künftigen Besitzer der Herrschaft Wernigerode den Huldigungseid leisten. Graf Botho hatte das Glück, dass er zum damaligen Zeitpunkt auch die gesamte Grafschaft Stolberg im Südharz als Alleinerbe übertragen bekam. Dazu machte es sich jedoch erforderlich, seinen ständigen Herrschaftssitz in Stolberg zu nehmen. Für die weitere Entwicklung von Wernigerode war dies ein Rückschlag, denn nach dem Tod des Grafen Heinrich von Wernigerode im Jahre 1429 residierte nunmehr kein Graf dauerhaft mehr im Ort. Der Niedergang Wernigerodes wurde durch die Tatsache verstärkt, dass Graf Botho 1438 begann, das Schloss und die dazugehörige Herrschaft zu verpfänden. Es war ein sehr lukratives Pfand, zu dem u. a. die geistlichen Lehen über das Chorherrenstift St. Georgii und St. Sylvestri zu Wernigerode, die Klöster Himmelpforten, Ilsenburg und Drübeck sowie die Dörfer Drübeck, Reddeber, Langeln mit dem Deutschordenshof, Wasserleben mit dem Jungfrauenkloster und Veckenstedt mit einem wichtigen Adelshof gehörten. Die Herrschaft Wernigerode war damit wesentlich bedeutender als die Stammgrafschaft Stolberg, die ihrerseits nicht über ein einziges Kloster innerhalb ihrer Grenzen verfügte.

Die eigentliche Grafschaft reduzierte sich im 16. Jahrhundert auf das gräfliche Amt Wernigerode, das beispielsweise 1543/44 Einnahmen erzielte aus:
 Schoß aus der Altstadt Wernigerode: 100 Mark
 Schoß aus der Neustadt Wernigerode: 13 Mark 16 Stück
 Schoß aus Drübeck: 30,5 Mark
 Schoß aus Wasserleben: 21,5 Mark
 Schoß aus Langeln: 22 Mark
 Schoß aus Silstedt: 5 Mark
 Schoß aus Ilsenburg: 2 Mark
 Schoß aus Darlingerode: 3 Mark
 Schoß wegen der Wüstung Steinbruch bei Drübeck: 4 Vierdung
 Erbzinsen aus Wernigerode, Veckenstedt, Silstedt, Langeln, Wasserleben und vom Kapitel St. Sylvestri und Georgii zu Wernigerode usw.
Insgesamt nahm der Amtmann von Wernigerode 1543/44 5120 Gulden (im Jahr zuvor nur 4247 Gulden) ein. Demgegenüber betrugen die Ausgaben für das Amt 3456 Gulden, also blieb ein Gewinn von 1664 Gulden. Das war eine beträchtliche Summe, wenn man bedenkt, dass in jenem Jahr für nur knapp 50 Gulden eine neue Münzwerkstatt eingerichtet worden ist.

When you think of virtual assistants you generally think of something like Siri with its strange replies and voice control, but that's not all they can do. Google Now, Google's own virtual assistant, is constantly adding new features (like remembering where you parked)and one of the most recent is designed to help save you money when you're booking plane tickets.
It's not just for people who fly frequently either, it could be incredibly beneficial to people who are just travelling as a one off. Since Google Now is well integrated with Google's search functions, it can see when you've been looking at prices for flights and will keep an eye on them for you. Occasionally it'll pop up with a little card to show off what you might be interested in.
While Google's search features and personalisation have been consider 'evil' by some, this is a perfect example of how integrating different Google features can actually be beneficial to the consumer. Having something keep track on prices so you don't have to is more than just useful, and if it manages to spot a bargain it could well save you a significant amount of money.
But it's likely that this feature will be popping up on Cortana and Siri soon enough. Oh well, it's not like that's a bad thing.

Tracing Luka Magnotta's footsteps: The night Jun Lin is last seen alive
By Amy Minsky	Global News
Luka Magnotta (right) is seen entering his Montreal apartment building the night of May 24, 2012 accompanied by Chinese student Jun Lin in a framegrab from a video released at the Magnotta trial.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO
Part 2: The homicide investigation begins →
Part 3: Medical records shed light on the making of a killer →
Warning: This story contains graphic details some readers may find offensive.
Crown psychiatrist doesn't believe Magnotta is schizophrenic
Magnotta doesn't testify as defence rests
Luka Magnotta, consumed with his appearance and reputation, had a lust for fame. Eventually, he gained notoriety in becoming the main suspect in Jun Lin's horrid killing.
Twenty-seven months passed between the night in May 2012 when Lin was killed and Magnotta's fate was laid in the hands of 14 jurors. During those months in between, Magnotta was known primarily as a man who killed senselessly, in cold blood, then fled Canada.
IN DEPTH: The Luka Magnotta file
Through 66 witnesses heard over 40 days, however, Magnotta has become known as more than that. Witness testimony has revealed him to be a troubled child and adolescent without friends; a man who provided escort services for money; a man who suffered the often punishing effects of severe mental illness both first and second hand, who sought help just days before slitting Lin's throat.
On top of his personal history, the trial has also revealed a clearer picture of what Magnotta was doing and thinking when he brutally killed an innocent man (or, at least, what he says he was thinking).
Magnotta is charged with first-degree murder, committing an indignity to a human body, publishing obscene material, criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament and mailing obscene and indecent material.
Although he admitted to the "physical acts" behind the crimes, he maintains a plea of not guilty. His lawyer is arguing Magnotta is not criminally responsible due to mental illness.
10:20 p.m., May 24, 2012: Lin is last seen alive
Police investigators said they were never able to determine exactly how Lin and Magnotta met — there were no traceable phone calls between the two, no online chats and neither had photos of the other on their respective computers.
Magnotta told psychiatrists the two met for the first time at a metro station the night he killed Lin. The unsuspecting victim had responded the day before to a Craigslist ad for sex and bondage, Magnotta said.
WATCH: Magnotta and Lin arrive together at Magnotta's apartment in Montreal shortly after 10 p.m. on May 24
The two returned to the low-rent building where Magnotta was living. At 10:20 p.m., surveillance footage from that building showed Magnotta holding the door open for Lin and entering behind his guest.
That tape would prove to hold the final images of Lin alive. The next time the 33-year-old university student appeared on video, Magnotta had already slit his throat.

The exact time of Lin's death is not known. He sent his former boyfriend, who had just days earlier returned to China, a text message around midnight. The surveillance cameras captured Magnotta at 2:06 a.m. May 25, wearing a yellow t-shirt thought to be the one Lin wore hours earlier.
Over the course of that day and the next, cameras at the building, in post offices and at the Montreal airport, as well as a search through his online and phone activities, traced Magnotta's post-killing steps.
READ MORE: Magnotta lied, omitted information from night of killing, Crown says
He spent hours in the middle of the night hauling dozens of bags to the basement garbage room. He booked a round-trip plane ticket to Paris, scheduled to leave the following evening. He acquired the suitcase later used to store Lin's torso. He made a number of calls to the 705 region of Ontario. He ordered pizza. He carried parcels to two post offices, where four of Lin's body parts would remain more than 48 hours, awaiting Monday pickup. Finally, he arrived at Montreal's Pierre Elliott Trudeau airport where, wearing a wig, he passed through security and boarded an evening flight to Paris.
Through the defence team's psychiatrists, Magnotta's version of events was revealed during the 10-week trial.
READ MORE: Magnotta was convinced Lin was government agent sent to kill, according to psych report
Magnotta, now 32, gave two psychiatrists two slightly different explanations for his actions. He told one he killed Lin because the voices in his head convinced him Lin was a government agent sent to kill; he told the other it was a manipulative and abusive acquaintance who convinced Magnotta Lin was a government agent. He said he posted the video depicting his victim's dismemberment in an effort to silence those voices invading his head. He said he mailed one foot and one hand to federal political parties because the voices were telling him "give it back," and he thought that perhaps frightening the government would put an end to its involvement in his life.
Four days after Magnotta fled Canada, Montreal police named him the prime suspect in the homicide case and Interpol added him to its want list. By then, he was getting ready to take a bus to Berlin.

Testosterone Supplement Therapies Can Cause Serious Health Problems
Published on June 22, 2015 by Marc Whitehead
Metabolic health issues have long been a source of confusion for researchers. Even after studying these issues for decades, metabolic conditions like diabetes and obesity continue to plague society. Research studies sometimes produce contradictory results, and relying on a single study can lead to dire consequences if the study's results turn out to be inaccurate.
Research studies focusing on Low T therapies have produced some upsetting results. These results not only reveal that testosterone supplements have the power to cause serious, potentially life-threatening consequences, but they also indicate that testosterone supplements are being prescribed to men when their use is not necessarily indicated.
Low T Therapies and Health Problems
Low T therapies come with a multitude of possible side effects that may occur immediately. Depending on the specific product, side effects may include:
Reactions at the application site
Gynecomastia (the development of breasts in males)
High or low blood pressure
Redistribution of hair
Loss of male sex characteristics
Clotting in the legs
Reduced libido
Spontaneous erection
The diversity of possible side effects is a testament to the unpredictability of Low T medications. Some of the side effects, such as low and high blood pressure, may occur in different men taking the same medication. Likewise, because of the complex nature of testosterone production in the body, these medications may produce some of the problems they are intended to treat in certain men, such as reduced libido and erectile dysfunction.
These Drugs Can Cause More Serious Health Problems in the Future.
For example, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2010 indicates that testosterone therapy may increase the risk of cardiovascular events. The study, "Adverse Events Associated with Testosterone Administration," examined 209 men over the age of 65, all of whom suffered from limited mobility and low testosterone. In this population, "the application of testosterone gel was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events." However, this was a relatively small and unique population, so the results may not be relevant for all men who use Low T therapies.
Another study, "Association of Testosterone Therapy With Mortality, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke in Men With Low Testosterone Levels," published in the Journal of the American Medical Association of 2013, also explored the relationship between testosterone supplementation and heart attack. In this study, a much larger population of 8,709 men suffering from low testosterone was examined. Among those men who underwent coronary angiography, "the use of testosterone therapy was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes." Adverse outcomes experienced included stroke, myocardial infarction and death. In fact, the study found that subjects taking testosterone therapy were 30 percent more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than those who did not.
As a result of these studies, the Federal Drug Administration issued a safety alert regarding the use of testosterone products. The alert indicates that men who use these products may be at a greater risk for pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack, clotting and even death. The FDA also disclosed its intention to continue investigating this risk through additional research studies.
If you believe you may be experiencing symptoms related to the use of Low T drugs, talk to your doctor about your symptoms as soon as possible.
If you would like to explore the possibility of bringing legal action to obtain compensation for medical problems, deaths or other issues related to Low T medications, please contact the experienced attorneys at Marc Whitehead & Associates, LLP at (855)-423-3666 to discuss your options.

'Stoway' folding stroller
Cornish, Harold
The Stoway stroller was produced by a combination of one person's inventiveness and attention to detail, and another's business acumen. The result was a go-anywhere, transverse (cross-wise) folding stroller that weighed only 2 kg, making it particularly suitable for weary mothers to use on Sydney's trams or buses. The transverse folding operation prefigured the design of many later folding strollers.
To accompany his drawings for the patent application in 1942, Harold Cornish made a beautifully crafted working model (Powerhouse Museum object number 88/713). He left most business decisions to his partner Sid Morris, who arranged 12 overseas patents for the stroller and licensed its production in the UK and USA. In 1948 Morris organised manufacture of the first of 150,000 Stoway folding strollers to be made in Australia. In some ways the Stoway fitted today's ideals of ecodesign: the canvas and vinyl seats were easy to replace; and the factory even supplied do-it-yourself re-upholstering kits.

Harold Cornish (1910 - 2003) invented, designed and manufactured the stroller in Sydney.
The corded tyres were probably manufactured between 1949 and 1955 and are probably original equipment.
Nothing is known of the stroller's use before it was purchased by the donor in Mittagong in 1993. The new seat cover was made by the inventor and an upholsterer who worked at Keenkraft..

Bethel Lutheran Home has a long and celebrated tradition of providing exceptional care and services to seniors and their families. Our history began in 1927 with the Pacific District Convention of the United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church which met in Eugene, Oregon. Members of the body recognized a need to establish a ministry to the aging in the Fresno area. Through their encouragement, "Bethel's Old People's Home" was established as a private, non-profit corporation whose first board met in June of 1928.
The M.J. Shultz family of Pella Lutheran Church in Selma, California donated a small wood frame home to the district to be used as a home for older adults. It became the first Bethel Home. Located on Pine and Locust in Selma, the small house still stands today. The home quickly filled and therefore the present property with a large house was purchased in December of 1929. In May of 1930, 132 additional rooms were added and dedicated into service.
In February of 1932, work began on the addition of eight more rooms. Upon their completion in 1935, 22 residents occupied Bethel. At this time, the Shultz property, which still housed residents, was sold and all were brought under one roof.
Bethel's ministry to the aging continued over the next three decades. In 1963, the building which housed Bethel Home was condemned and the board faced the decision of either discontinuing the ministry or building a new, modern facility. A building fund drive was approved in April of that year and through assistance provided by the Division of Charities of the American Lutheran Church (ALC), FHA financing was obtained.
Groundbreaking for the new facility occurred in October of 1964 with the completion in July of 1965. The chapel was added to the facility in 1975 and areas in the skilled nursing wing and kitchen were remodeled in 1984. In 1988, 28 more skilled nursing beds were added. In 1994, Bethel began a development program that provides for expansions and improvements into the new century.
Over 50 years of visions and goals of past pioneers have brought to light this wonderful facility and ministry that is Bethel Lutheran Home today.
Bethel Lutheran Home, Inc. is a non-profit social ministry organization affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
