Girls' soccer: Falmouth comes from behind to beat Marshwood
The Navigators give up an early goal but then take control to advance to the Class A South semifinals.

FALMOUTH — The Falmouth High girls' soccer team hasn't trailed often this season. When the Navigators found themselves down a goal early Wednesday night in a Class A South quarterfinal against Marshwood, they didn't panic.
"We try to keep our minds in the game, and not freak out," said Falmouth junior Abbie Ford. "It happened against Scarborough, too."
The Navigators kept their cool, took the lead for good early in the second half on a goal by Ford, and held on for a 2-1 win.
Falmouth (14-1-1), the No. 2 seed, will host the winner of Thursday's game between No. 6 Cheverus and No. 3 Gorham in the regional semifinals. No. 7 Marshwood ends its season at 8-6-2.
Ford's go-ahead goal, with just over 33 minutes remaining, was a hard shot from the top of the box into the left corner of the net.
"(The ball) was just bouncing around. I stayed back for the rebound. The ball came back to me, so I (struck) it home," Ford said.
Marshwood scored first, barely four minutes into the game, when Lilli Hammond's shot off a rebound following a corner kick found the upper left corner.
"Our set pieces are where we've scored a lot," said Marshwood Coach Chelsea Watson. "Lilli is a good striker with a nose for the ball."
The Navigators tied it with 17:19 left in the first half. Sydney Shiben's shot slipped through the hands of Marshwood goalie Samantha Arnold right to the foot of Gwen Long, who tapped the ball into the net.
"We've been in that situation a few times," Falmouth Coach Andrew Pelletier said about playing from behind. "I thought Marshwood was very good for the first 15 minutes, then it was a lot of us."
Falmouth controlled play before and after tying the goal, and also throughout the second half as it played with the lead. Aside from the early success, the Hawks never sustained an attack. A steady, strong wind out of the northeast was a factor. Falmouth's attempts at long passes into the wind in the first half went nowhere, and the Hawks faced the same problem in the second half.
"Playing into that wind was difficult," Pelletier said.
With no seniors on the roster, Marshwood might be the youngest team in the tournament. Picking up a win in the preliminary round over Portland and playing a strong Falmouth team tough showed growth in her inexperienced team, Watson said.
"This experience for them will be beneficial. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year, and the girls responded to the occasion," Watson said.

Video: Interpreting Sindhi Folklore with Bina Shah
Drawing on Sindh's rich cultural heritage as well as its spiritual legacy as the birthplace of generations of Sufi saints, pirs, and mystic poets, in A Season for Martyrs Bina Shah interweaves the present with vignettes of the past from crucial moments in the province's history. As a Sindhi, it is apparent from Shah's writing that she feels a deep affinity to her roots, her central character acknowledging an 'all important truth that everyone had forgotten about Pakistan: if Punjab was the heart of Pakistan, then Sindh was its soul'. In this fascinating interview with Papercuts reportage editor Shahbano Bilgrami, Bina explains why she feels the province's folklore and history are the perfect backdrop to a novel about contemporary politics, along with details of her sources, her early interest in mythology, and her views on the relevance of folktales and Sufism to modern times.
Interpreting Sindhi Folklore from Desi Writers' Lounge on Vimeo.
On the seeming contradiction in A Season for Martyrs, a very contemporary novel about political disaffection that is rooted in the ancient folklore and history of Sindh.
What I was doing in the novel seems like it was at cross-purposes – portraying a modern nation on the one hand and Sindhi folklore on the other. But I always felt that you couldn't understand modern Sindh unless you knew something about its mystical roots. Just as modern Western culture today is built on the mythology and folklore of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures, so it is in Sindh and Pakistan in general. It's just that we're closer to our folklore and our myths and fables and they still have relevance for us today. They are morality tales based on Sufi Islam which I think will continue to guide us for generations to come.
On the role of folktales as living history and their relevance in today's society.
The interesting thing is that both the most influential figures in Sindh and the poorest of the poor revere our Sufi heritage. Each draws inspiration and guidance from the saints, whether their aim is to survive day-to-day, or to climb to the heights of power. The folklore is not some distant, removed past, but a living history that is even now the engine of Sindh's soul. I wanted my readers to understand that.
On her research and sources for the folktale elements.
I read up on some of the folklore that I didn't know enough about, like Zinda Peer, and I uncovered even more layers to the mythology — like the belief that he met Alexander the Great. I also researched Shah Abdul Latif's life and the events surrounding the Hur rebellion and the hanging of Pir Pagaro for historical accuracy. I found all this information either in books in my father's library or information that I found on the internet. I pressured myself to be as precise as possible with things like dates, places, and names. I felt a great responsibility to the material and the people in the stories, and it also helped give the sections some structure. But once I felt confident about those details, I let my imagination run wild. For example, Shah Abdul Latif wrote about the Seven Queens, but I made up the part about there being an Eighth Queen. Why did I do that? Well, it tied in Benazir Bhutto, whose life is already becoming legend, into my narrative. It gave the story a nice sense of connection and completion, even though that's not really row it ended in real life.
On her earliest memories of folktales.
I'm afraid I don't really have a favorite Sindhi folktale. I did read Greek and Roman mythology as a child and found it fascinating. They were tales of adventure and love, and the gods and the mortals, and to me they were very dramatic, teaching me about the big issues of life: love, death, fate, destiny. As I grew older, I began to read the Quran, with its many historical stories which have also entered the canon of legend and folklore. And then I started to read Sufi literature and I began to appreciate fables and folklore for what they are: allegories and metaphors for the relationship between the Creator and the created. Fables and folklore are our way of trying to understand our place in the universe vis-à-vis divinity.
On what the myths surrounding the pirs and mystic poets of Sindh mean to her and to the region at large.
What I was most fascinated with was the way history changes over time and becomes myth and legend. I included one story about an ancestor of mine called Jeandal Shah. My father had always told me that legend – that he'd fought a cheetah and survived. I found the story fascinating and wanted to incorporate it into the book. It was a morality tale about not selling your soul in order to gain power. The stories of the saints and pirs and mystical poets are always about the triumph of good over evil, the external as well as the internal struggle of the soul to overcome the ego, and a paean to human rights and women's rights. If you notice, the themes are always of struggling against oppression, moving towards greater freedom, and eventually, becoming united with God. Our history mirrors these themes, and I think our future will as well.
On the role of Benazir Bhutto in the novel, illustrating how myth-building and folklore continue to prevail in modern Pakistan.
The one drawback of relying on prophecy is that you're always waiting for a savior to come and make things better. That is simply not what happens in real life, and it won't happen in Pakistan either. Every time we've put our faith in a savior, we've been disappointed because they are human, with flaws and failure written into their DNA. Ali Sikandar knows this very well about Benazir Bhutto, but by the end of the book, he too, is drawn to the mythology of the savior. You could say it's his undoing, because of how the book ultimately ends. I don't have much faith in saviors myself, not in human form anyway. We have to work harder at saving ourselves.

We have a much needed update on The Last of Us to bring you now, and it's great news. The game won't be out until May 7 this year, but we can now confirm that you'll have the opportunity to play the game earlier thanks to a special demo promotion. If you pre-order God of War Ascension which releases in March, it will come bundled with a gameplay demo for Naughty Dog's upcoming title.
God of War Ascension is due out March 12 on the PS3 and there is a multiplayer beta that is currently in progress on the PlayStation Network for selected users. It's obviously not the first time that we have seen Sony cross-promotions like this, and even the Ascension demo itself was bundled free for those who opted to pick up the Sony Movies Total Recall reboot.
Unfortunately, there are no additional details on the demo for The Last of Us yet, so we don't know what kind of content it will contain. We're guessing Naughty Dog will give players a preview of one full mission in the single-player campaign and save multiplayer for when players actually pick up the game.
The developer has said though that details on the demo will be released soon on the PlayStation Blog. Either way, it's a nice little incentive to preview the game a full two months before the game goes on sale. Is God of War Ascension looking good enough to merit a purchase by itself though, or are you planning to pick it up just to play the demo?
Let us know your thoughts on the demo announcement and whether you think God of War Ascension is worth the money or not.
The demo needs to be free,cause its a DEMO!!! Its not a full game come on guys don't be stupid!!!


Christmas in Crete sounded idyllic, in marked contrast to the previous winters in England. In the weeks before the flight the weather reports from Crete recorded temperatures in the high teens and no mention of rain. Would it last?
To be fair it lasted just over 24 hours – t-shirts and shorts were in evidence. Wild anemones swayed in a gentle breeze. The December sun was very pleasantly warm. Half of the clothing that weighed down our luggage would surely be redundant.
We were in error. Overnight the temperature dropped, the wind howled, and when it wasn't raining, there were hailstones and thunder and lightning. The Cretan population retreated to the shelter of home and gazed with incredulous eyes as we set off on our rambles over exposed headlands where potentially stunning views were obscured by mist and rain – but there were some stunning rainbows!
You need no Greek to translate the question that Crete was asking – in one word "Why?" It's difficult to answer – sometimes you walk for exercise, fresh air, to escape the claustrophobia of Christmas, perhaps, or to experience a country when the tourists have gone. We certainly saw Crete without the crowds. Few of the tavernas were open but Ramblers found some where hospitality was very warm and flavoured with Raki. On leaving our first hotel there were presents for all of us under the tree – bottles of wine from the family – no wonder Ramblers had used the hotel for over 30 years!
One of the walks found us stopping in a small village where home-made cheese and spinach pasties, teas and coffees were enjoyed in what was to be the last of the sunshine – the Greek of our hostess being translated by her 'helper' from Cumberland!
Another day we walked down a spectacular gorge under the scrutiny of Griffon Vultures and emerged to find a "cafe" hosted by an English couple who crowded everyone inside as a thunderstorm raged – it was strange to hear a Jarrow accent in such a setting. We were so lucky and grateful for the shelter our experienced guide had found – the self-guided walker would not have enjoyed that day.
In Chania the dining area of one taverna had been a Turkish bath, and even at Christmas was busy with locals – always a good sign. A cake/coffe shop owner only open on Christmas Day for locals to pick up their cakes to take to family they were visiting (as is traditional in Crete) couldn't believe his luck when 18 ramblers piled in for hot drinks while waiting for the next bus – he could be heard phoning all his mates as we shouted Merry Christmas.
Crete at Christmas was not an escape to the sun, but it was different – not too many people in England were taking photographs of a kingfisher on Christmas Day! The weather in Crete was only marginally better than the UK: I'd go away at Christmas with Ramblers again – but I'd check the meteorological statistics first! What's Tenerife or Cuba or Cape Verde like at that time of year, I wonder?

The rumor mill once more proves to be worth paying attention to.
Last week, we reported that the climactic battle in Star War: The Last Jedi would take place on the planet Crete, which was described as a "giant salt flat with stretches of large volcanic rocks." Well, we were wrong about the spelling – it's 'Crait' rather than 'Crete' – but other than that, the rumor has turned out to be accurate.
One of the most striking images in the film's first teaser, which was released yesterday, showcases the new planet, giving us a wide shot of crafts speeding across the white plain, kicking up clouds of red dust behind them.
If these rumors continue to pan out, the Resistance and First Order will be battling over a mine that produces valuable gems, with its potential destruction/capture acting as a major blow for General Organa's forces. Further reports say that the battle is to feature gigantic Gorilla walkers: huge armed high-tech monster machines that'll make the clunky old AT-ATs look even more dinosauric than they already do.
Either way, the shot of Crait in the trailer is a striking visual moment in what might be one of the most visually dynamic Star Wars films to date, coming a close second to that stunning shot of rocks gently levitating around Rey's hand as she presumably learns how to channel the Force. The prospect of a full-on ground battle between the elite forces of The First Order and whatever the ragtag Resistance can cobble together is an exciting prospect and certainly bodes well for Star War: The Last Jedi being a visual extravaganza, if nothing else.

The best Android apps for business in 2022
Trying to find the right app for any given area on Android is a lot like trying to order dinner at a restaurant with way too many options on the menu. How can you possibly find the right choice in such a crowded lineup? With the Google Play Store now boasting somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 gazillion titles (last I checked), it's no simple task to figure out which apps rise above the rest and provide the best possible experiences.
That's why I decided to step in and help. I've been covering Android from the start and have seen more than my fair share of incredible and not so incredible apps. From interface design to practical value, I know what to look for and how to separate the ordinary from the extraordinary. And taking the time to truly explore the full menu of options and find the cream of the crop is quite literally my job.

WAUSAU, Wis.—A jury Friday found a central Wisconsin mother guilty of killing her 11-year-old daughter by praying for her to heal instead of rushing her to the doctor.
A Marathon County jury deliberated about four hours before convicting Leilani Neumann, 41, of rural Weston, of second-degree reckless homicide. No sentencing date was set. Neumann remains free on bond.
Neumann left the courtroom clutching her husband as her three other children, looking stunned, followed. She declined comment.
Neumann's daughter, Madeline, died of untreated diabetes March 23, 2008, surrounded by people praying for her. When she suddenly stopped breathing, her parents' business and Bible study partners finally called 911.
Prosecutors contend a reasonable parent would have known something was gravely wrong with Madeline and her mother recklessly killed her by ignoring obvious symptoms of how gravely ill she was. During closing arguments, Marathon County District Attorney Jill Falstad described Neumann as a religious zealot who let her daughter, known by the nickname Kara, die as a test of faith.
Linehan countered, saying Neumann didn't realize her daughter was so ill and did all she could do to help, in line with the family's belief in faith-healing.
Neumann's stepfather, Brian Gordon of San Diego, said he was disappointed by the verdict and the jury was mistaken. He said his stepdaughter did nothing wrong in trusting in God to heal her daughter.
Falstad declined to comment after the verdict because Madeline's father, Dale Neumann, 47, faces the same charge and is scheduled to stand trial in July.
Neumann showed no reaction when the verdict was read. Before the jury took the case, she and her husband clutched each other and silently prayed with another man. Then she went to each of her other children sitting on a front-row courtroom bench and kissed them on the cheek.

Supporting a Financially Stable Postal Service
Postal Coalition
Ensuring our nation continues to have a robust and effective Postal Service.
Business Community Supports The Postal Reform Act of 2018
Washington, DC – The Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service (C21), an organization of the private sector mailing industry, today announced support for S. 2629 the Postal Reform Act of 2018.
"C21 is very pleased that a bipartisan group of Senators has introduced the Postal Reform Act of 2018," said Art Sackler, Manager of the Coalition. "It would go a long way toward fixing the broken finances of the Postal Service, and ensure it will continue to deliver each year, as the public expects, the nearly 150 billion mail pieces that support our economy and the postal system."
C21 has very strongly supported the similar Postal Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, and its bipartisan sponsors in the House, and plans to do everything it can to secure passage of S. 2629 before a very urgent financial problem for USPS becomes dire later this year.
The Postal Service is bleeding red ink profusely through no fault of its own; most of the red ink comes from a requirement to pre-fund 75 years' worth of retiree health liabilities, costing $10s of billions. S. 2629 addresses that problem without resort to taxpayer dollars, responding to a key concern in the House about H.R. 756. If legislation does not pass, the Postal Regulatory Commission is poised to permit the Postal Service to recover those $10s of billions through higher postage, including letting the price of a stamp rise to 64 cents over five years, with similar or higher increases for the businesses that contribute more than 90% of the revenues the self-sustaining (no taxpayer dollars) system generates.
The bill also addresses concerns about mail service, which is vital to rural areas throughout the country, and important everywhere else.
"Absent this or a similar fix, mailers will be driven to avoid the mail or even, in some cases, close down," added Sackler. "For a postal system that has 30% less business than just a decade ago, further big losses would either mean a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer bailout or a radical shrinking of the system. Neither is good for America."
C21 consists of business mailing associations and companies – newspapers, advertisers, catalogers, e-commerce, parcels, greeting cards, financial services, telecommunications, insurance, small businesses of every kind, paper, printing, technology, envelope manufacturing, mail services, who understand the essential role of USPS and want it sustained for the future.

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth".
In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a days work. It is invisible, and remains so, maybe for twenty years.
Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
Teachers who inspire realise there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us.
They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them.
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Coverity, which offers tools for code quality and security, is set to announce its acquisition of Solidware Technologies, which provides visibility into code.
With the acquisition, Coverity wants to give developers and engineering managers information on software readiness, said Coverity Chief Scientist Andy Chou. "The idea is to determine if software is ready for release."
Solidware's technology allows companies to ensure the release-readiness of software by combining data from multiple quality and security tools. Through the synthesis of information from multiple sources, managers can identify and direct the repair of code branches that pose the greatest risk of failure or vulnerability, Coverity said.
Coverity provides products for improving the quality and security of C, C++ and Java code. Terms of its acquisition of Solidware were not disclosed.
Coverity plans call for integrating technology from Coverity's Prevent static analysis product with Solidware's SWaudit software for project readiness. "That will provide additional information for SWaudit's readiness metrics," said Chou.
This integration is expected to be completed later this summer.
With Solidware's technology, development teams can assess code complexity, violation of best practices, software architectures, interdependencies, and test coverage. This technology will be enhanced to leverage Coverity's Software DNA Map analysis system for development teams to ensure code integrity.

What You Need to Know About the Protests in Sudan
By Madison Feller
OZAN KOSEGetty Images
Back in April, Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir was ousted after months of protests and a military coup. What has followed has been a violent attack on civilian protesters by military officials as the country transitions to new power. Here, all you need to know about what's happening in Sudan, including the recent killings, internet blackout, and protests.
What happened to the former president?
In April, a coup led to the ousting of the Sudanese president, who had been in power since 1989 and had previously been indicted for war crimes and genocide in Darfur. Once the president left, military leaders said they would agree to civilian rule, though they then stepped in to run the transitional government. The New York Times reports that civilian negotiators offered a compromise that would feature rotating power between the civilians and military leaders. However, the talks dissolved and civilians instituted a two-day strike.
So how did things turn violent?
In what seems to be a response to the strike, paramilitary and security forces raided unarmed demonstrators at the capital of Sudan who were peacefully protesting.
According to the Federal Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, the violence resulted in 52 people dead and 784 injured, though the report says that the number of injured people could be higher. The military also created an internet blackout by cutting off mobile data, which NPR reports most Sudanese people use to access the internet, leaving many without the ability to communicate or disseminate information.
Other civilian reports have put the death count at over 100 and have said a number of bodies were dumped into the Nile river. According to the Times, civilians reported that soldiers had raped women and looted stores, while other burned tents and beat protesters. Protest leaders say the violence stretched beyond the capital and into a number of towns across the country.
In a statement, UNICEF's executive director Henrietta Fore wrote that reportedly at least 19 children were among those who were killed in the attacks. Fore said, "We have received information that children are being detained, recruited to join the fighting and sexually abused. Schools, hospitals and health centres have been targeted, looted and destroyed. Health workers have been attacked simply for doing their job. Many parents are too scared to let their children leave the house, fearful of violence, harassment and lawlessness. Water, food and medicine shortages have been reported across the country, putting children's health and wellbeing at risk."
The group that instigated much of the violence is called the Rapid Support Forces, led by a man named Lt. Gen. Mohamed Hamdan, otherwise known as Hemeti. Hemeti came to prominence as a commander of a militia group called the janjaweed (from which the RSF was formed), which was accused of atrocities in Darfur in the 2000s, according to the Times. Both Hemeti and the leader of the military coup (more about him, below) have a close relationship with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both of which have funneled billions of dollars to the military forces that have assumed power in Sudan.
What do protesters want?
The pro-democracy movement wants civilian rule and a long period of transition before new elections begin in order to prepare voter rolls and give the country's political system time to settle and mature. At first, the pro-democracy organizers and military council had agreed to a three-year plan to transition to democracy, but negotiations fell apart, and the military said they would hold elections within nine months. But according to the Associated Press, the military and protest leaders have now restored their deal to have the three-year period.
Deserted streets in Sudan as people participate in national strikes/ civil disobedience which began today & will end 'only when a civilian government announces itself in power on state television' says the
Sudanese Professionals Association.

— Samira Sawlani (@samirasawlani) June 9, 2019
This past Sunday, following the violence, NPR reported that a civil disobedience campaign "brought the country's capital to a standstill." The strike was supported by the Sudanese Professionals Association, who said it was the "only measure left for the Sudanese people to hold the country from collapsing into total chaos and insecurity under the rule of the military coup council."
While the SPA said that the military leaders in government claimed to be preparing for "general and fair elections," they believed "any government that comes as a result of such arrangements would have no shred of legitimacy."
As of Wednesday, the general strike and civil disobedience campaign was called off, and there are hopes that negotiations will start up again.
The leader of the military coup, Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has said that "all involved in the events that lead to the disruption of the protests site will be held accountable and brought to justice." However, CNN reported that, as of Thursday, there was still a heavy military presence in Sudan's capital, as well as other cities.
How to help:
Call your representatives in Congress. Call 202-224-3121 to be connected with your congressional leader's office, and let them know you expect them to support the civilians in Sudan.
Spread the word to your friends, family, and followers. It's essential to spread awareness and let others know about the current situation in Sudan. As Nesrine Malik wrote in The Guardian, "For those who ask how to help Sudan, the answer is by preventing the normalisation project and aiding the Sudanese people in getting their message out during the blackout. A message that makes it clear that the deaths and rapes have not worked, that although they are still happening, people will not suffer in vain. Find people on the ground and amplify their voices. Fund verified medical support campaigns. Circulate accounts from journalists who are covering the trauma."
Donate. UNICEF, Save the Children, and the International Rescue Committee all work toward providing assistance to Sudanese children and families. According to Save the Children, which has been working in Sudan since 1984, "Due to ongoing conflict, many children live under the threat of violence, as well as the possibility of exploitation and abuse. They also often face food and water shortages, inadequate or non-existent healthcare, little hope for an education and one of the highest infant mortality rates."
Sign a petition. There is currently a Change.org petition asking for a U.N. investigation into the attacks on protesters.

Since I can no longer continue to use the excuse "I just moved in" now that I've been at my place for 6 months (man, time flies!) I need to get my office together. Though I live in a one bedroom place, there a closet that, based on my apartment junior year, I would actually consider another bedroom. It fits my desk and is a great place to store the various camera gear I have.
I want to not only organize it, but decorate. I was thinking it would be fun to decorate the top shelf with some of my vintage cameras. But since I'm not a reliable duster, I thought it'd be a better idea to photograph my cameras and then just put up the photos.
So, I thought I'd share some of my favorites.
This is my mom's old camera.
And my great Uncle Ross's camera... I think it's for spies.
These are binoculars, not technically a camera, but still involves optics and reminds me of WALL-E love!!
I am going to guess that you have only used the ST605 Fujica here in your collection.

Yamaha's Pocketrak Portable Recorder
Yamaha's new Pocketrak portable recorders can slip into a shirt pocket. The Pocketrak C 24 and W24 are hi-fi, lightweight, small-profile recorders. The C24 is smaller than the W24, which features two stereo microphones, a wireless remote control, and other features for pro recording on the fly.
Both models come with a built-in tuner and metronome, onboard speakers and high-quality 24-bit/96kHz sound quality. They even include Cubase AI5, a 48-track editing and production program for Windows and Mac that derives many features from the award-winning Cubase 5 digital audio workstation by Steinberg and lets users transfer recordings to CD or MP3 files.
The C24 is the lightest and smallest pocket recorder on the market, weighing just two ounces. The C24 features a non-directional mic, so there's no need to point the device at the sound source, and is able to pick up large ensembles like choirs and brass bands. In MP3 mode, it can record for 26 hours. With 2GB internal memory, it holds plenty of data. The C24 features a built-in connection to a USB port for transferring recordings to a computer, which means there's no need for separate cables. It comes with a clip that attaches to a mic or music stand.
The W24 features X-Y mics that offer a wide range of stereo coverage. Weighing just 3.2 ounces, it includes 2GB of flash memory, a peak limiter for optimal recording of loud music and a high-pass filter to eliminate wind and low-end rumble. The included wireless remote control offers convenience and the five-band EQ provides pinpoint sound-shaping possibilities. The W24 records for up to 56 hours in MP3 mode.

Genelec's Multimedia Speaker System
Genelec's multimedia speaker system, the 6010A bi-amplified speaker and 5040A powered subwoofer delivers studio-quality sound in a compact system that fits easily by a computer (the speakers can also connect to a portable audio player).
Although the speakers measure just 7-1/8″ high by 4-3/4″ wide by 4-1/2″ deep, and the subwoofer is 9-7/8″ high by 12″ in diameter, they are designed to reference-quality monitoring standards. The speakers feature a proprietary woofer and tweeter and built-in amplifiers that are matched to the drivers, for a smooth tonal balance and resolution of the subtlest musical details.
The tweeter is mated with Genelec's Directivity Control Waveguide TM (DCW TM), to deliver accurate imaging over a wider listening area. The speakers have a die-cast aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure TM (MDE TM) that reduces internal resonances for maximum clarity, and they come with a distinctively styled Iso-Pod base for optimum positioning.
The matching 5040A subwoofer extends the low-frequency response of the system down to 35Hz with powerful, articulate bass. It includes a system volume control and can accommodate a stereo or 5.1-channel home theater surround system.

Weiner Goes on Media Spree, but Questions Remain
Posted Jun 1, 2011 3:05 PM
@bigjohnrc
Meet Me at the Go-Go David Dreier Shows Passion on Democratization House Will Vote July 11 to Repeal Health Care Law
Emily Heil
After a college student received a lewd picture from the Twitter account of Rep. Anthony Weiner, the New York Democrat seemingly had two choices. He could either duck the controversy or address it head-on.
Instead, on Wednesday, Weiner opted for a third way.
Weiner talked — on cable news and to reporters in the Capitol's hallways — and talked. And around the Capitol "Weiner-gate," as the controversy is being dubbed, was the topic of lunch-table gossip.
But for all that verbiage, Weiner did not answer the single, crucial question on which the scandal hinges: Was it, or wasn't it, the Congressman in the picture sent to that college student in Washington state?
In an interview on MSNBC, the seven-term Congressman couldn't say "with certitude" that it was. Or wasn't. And what started as a frontal public relations assault designed to quell Weinergate seemed to only fan its flames.
The scandal that some say Weiner, considered to be a frontrunner in the 2013 New York City mayoral race, could cool by disavowing the picture with a simple, one-word answer, began in a world bound by 140-character restrictions.
On Friday, a photograph of underwear-clad male genitalia reportedly was sent to a woman via Weiner's Twitter account. Weiner quickly deleted the picture and claimed he was the victim of a hacker.
In his interview with MSNBC, Weiner said he did not post the picture and that he was simply "a victim of a prank."
Weiner told MSNBC he was hiring a private investigator to look into the incident rather than filing a formal complaint with law enforcement agencies. Capitol Police and the FBI have said they are not investigating the matter.
Another cable interview on Tuesday, this one with CNN, similarly boomeranged on Weiner. His exchange with CNN reporter Dana Bash and producer Ted Barrett grew testy when the Congressman refused to answer repeated questions of whether he was the man in the photo. He wound up calling Barrett a "jackass" on the air.
So much for damage control.
And the cringe-inducing moments continued when CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday pressed Weiner about not being able to recognize the underpants worn by the man in the photo. The skivvies "didn't look familiar to me," Weiner avowed.
Although Weiner was talking — about underwear and investigations and pranks — on Wednesday afternoon, most of his colleagues were staying publicly mum on the topic.
"I can't comment on that," House Ethics ranking member Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) said.
Fellow New York Rep. Peter King (R) also steered clear of the issue.
"It's a law enforcement issue, and I'm not going to comment on that," King said.
On Tuesday, Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) feigned ignorance and refused to comment, while Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) offered only a few words of encouragement to his scandal-struck colleague.
"Hang in there," he told Weiner as the New York lawmaker was trailed by numerous reporters.
In addition to ducking most hallway interviews Wednesday, Weiner was quieter than usual on Twitter, a rarity for a man known for his prolific and clever Tweets.
Not surprisingly to those familiar with Weiner's fiery temperament and penchant for public dramatics, his cable news tour came less than 24 hours after he vowed to stop commenting on the issue.
"The decision that I've made ... after two and a half days of various statements that answer these questions, that I'm not going to keep drilling into further details and further details — even the questions, even the obvious questions, even the questions I've answered before, because I don't believe in the idea that you believe in that 'Oh, this will end it,'" he told reporters Tuesday.
If Weiner thought that talking wouldn't end the controversy, he could be certain that not saying what his role is in it wouldn't either.
Anna Palmer contributed to this report.


I was lucky enough to have spent the Australia Day long weekend just gone hanging out and playing music with old friends. Strange to think that aside from 2 people who I only met in 2017 (you know who you are Kendra and Fiona), that most of my closest friends who I would consider in my 'inner circle', I have known for more than three decades. Some of them, over four decades!
I guess that is the nature of my personality. I find it hard to actually make friends in the first place, but once I do make friends whom I connect with, I would gladly take a bullet for them and will be friends with them until the end (or they do something to shatter my trust in them). Those in the 'inner circle' are as dear to me as family.
I met friends on the weekend that I hadn't spoken to in over 10 years, but we still took up where we left off as if it was just last week. And that made me think how lapse I have been over the past many years keeping up contact with my old friends. I have just been too caught up with work and other things going on in my life, that the nurturing of old friendships has been left to wallow in the weeds.
To that end, in 2019 I am intending to put a lot more effort into (a) tightening the bonds of friendship with old friends and (b) casting out the line to create some new friendships with like minded people. As an introvert (INFP), I usually find it difficult to reach out and form new friendships, but I am determined to overcome that and end this year with at least one more person in my 'inner circle'.
I'll update this post in 12 months to see how I've gone with this initiative.
It was so nice to get a handwritten dinner invite last week!
Note that this means less social media. In the past, I have used Facebook etc. as a bit of a crutch and a passive way to keep up with what my friends are doing, but this year, I am actually going to eschew most social media for communication and get back to some old fashioned talking to people and writing letters.

Kim Jong-un wants Pope Francis to visit North Korea, says Seoul
— Oct 10, 2018
"Kim Jong Un inviting the Pope to Pyongyang is a bold and unexpected move", Mintaro Oba, a former U.S. State Department official who worked on North Korean issues, wrote Tuesday on Twitter.
During the most recent summit between Korean leaders in September, Kim told Moon that he would "greatly welcome" the Pope to Pyongyang, according to South Korea's presidential office. "North Korean summit and we still don't even have a common definition of seemingly straightforward terms such as "denuclearization" and 'Korean Peninsula, '" Bruce Klingner, senior research fellow for Northeast Asia at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, said via email. It came amid expectations that his meeting with leader Kim could provide momentum to get the denuclearization process going again after a monthslong stalemate over how to rid the North of its nuclear weapons program.
The top United States diplomat also said the two countries were "pretty close" to setting a date and location for the second summit between Kim and Trump.
"I like him, he likes me, the relationship is good", Trump said of Kim.
In response, Pompeo said the two countries have a "fundamental disagreement".
"The supreme leader expressed his will and conviction that a great progress would surely be made in solving the issues of utmost concern of the world and in attaining the goal set forth at the last talks with the projected second DPRK-U.S. summit talks as an occasion", KCNA reported.
"We really hope we can deliver some good outcomes from that when the summit takes place", he added.
Although that meeting, proposed by Mr Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, never materialised, the invitation to Pope Francis is the North's latest diplomatic initiative this year.
Regardless of the push and pull and the apparent lack of a breakthrough, it was an improvement on Pompeo's visit three months ago, when Kim declined to meet him at all.
Trump Kim historic summit in Singapore
"I support the courageous decisions of the North and South Korean leaders", the pope said following the first summit in Panmunjom in April.
The polite but edgy tone underscored the plunge in US-Chinese relations as the administration of President Donald Trump confronts Beijing over its technology policies and territorial claims in the South China Sea.
Russian Federation and China both signaled during the U.N. General Assembly that they expect sanctions against North Korea to be loosened as a reward for concessions purportedly made by the Kim regime.
Pompeo shot back that the U.S.is very concerned with China's risky actions and rhetoric, which destabilizing for cross-strait relations and the entire region.
The North's regime since then has allowed Catholic organisations to run aid projects in the impoverished country, but direct relations with the Vatican are non-existent.
China will take necessary measures to safeguard its rights and interests, Yang said.
A meeting of top U.S. and Chinese diplomats got off to a frosty start on Monday, with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Chinese Foreign Minister and State Councillor Wang Yi airing grievances amid worsening bilateral relations.
A key issue highlighted by one former US official who has spoken to North Korean officials in recent months is that the definition Kim's regime has of denuclearization is far more expansive than it is for the U.S.
Trump said "eventually we're going to have lots of meetings on United States soil and on their soil by the way".

For true history lovers: the most beautiful statues and monuments of Madrid
par Mad4You | Avr 2, 2019 | Blog | 0 commentaires
Madrid is a very old city, its documented history dates back to the 9th century. Therefore, the city is filled with beautiful historic elements, such as old squares, buildings, monuments and statues. We would like to dedicate this month´s blog to the special monuments and statues located in the city of Madrid. If you are into history and love learning about monuments and statues, keep reading! And when visiting Madrid, take this blog with you and visit all monuments and statues we mentioned to see them for yourself.
El Oso y El Madroño (Address: Puerta del Sol, 1)
It is not a surprise that the first statue we are writing about is El Oso y el Madroño, the statue of the bear with the madroño tree. It is located on the square of Puerta del Sol, in the heart of the city center of Madrid. This statue represents the symbol of Madrid, so you will also see it back in the weapon of the community of Madrid. A long time ago, the forests that surrounded Madrid were filled with bears and with madroño trees. The bears loved to eat the fruits of the madroño trees and that is how Madrid got its symbol. In the city center of Madrid, around the touristic areas, you can find many bars that serve liquor de madroño. This is a liquor made of the madroño, which is a red fruit and family of the cranberry, and it tastes very sweet.
El Angel Caido (Address: Parque del Retiro, Glorieta del Ángel Caído, s/n)
Located in the south of the Retiro park you can find the statue El Angel Caido, in English ¨The Fallen Angel¨. Not many locals in Madrid know about this statue, but its story is so interesting that we really want to share it with you. The statue of El Angel Caido represents Lucifer during his expulsion from Heaven. Also, people who believe in evil think it is a gateway to Hell. This theory is supported by the fact that the statue is located 666 meters above sea level. On the other side, El Angel Caido is much more than just a superstition. It in an important aspect of the Retiro Park and one of the most valued artworks of Ricardo Bellver. The statue shows Lucifer falling from the sky, with snakes tangled around his arms and legs, pulling him down. It won the national prize of sculptures and was shown during the universal exposition in Paris, just four years after its creation.
El Angel Estrellado (Address: Calle de los Milaneses, 3)
When walking down Calle Mayor, just meters from the square of Puerta del Sol, you can find the statue of El Angel Estrellado. Some people also call it ¨el otro angel caido de Madrid¨, in English: the other fallen angel. It is situated on top of a corner-building of the street Calle de los Milaneses. The statue is made of bronze and shows the actual size, or perhaps even slightly bigger, of a body of an angel that collapsed into the attic of the building. The story is very simple; this angel just had an accident and crashed into the roof of a building in the city center of Madrid.
Its artist is Miguel Ángel Ruiz Beato who called the statue ¨Accidente Aéreo¨, which means air accident. The statue, due to its material, weighs over 300 kilos.
La Cibeles (Address: Plaza Cibeles, 3)
The fountain of Cibeles is located on the square of Plaza Cibeles, surrounded with four beautiful buildings: Palacio de Buenavista (army general headquarters), Palacio de Linares (Casa de América), Palacio de Comunicaciones (formerly the post office and now the town hall of Madrid) and Banco de España (Spanish Bank). Hence, if you visit La Cibeles you will have loads of other gorgeous architecture to see. The fountain of Cibeles was created in 1782 and shows the Roman goddess Cibeles, symbol of earth, agriculture and fertility. She is sitting on a carriage which is pulled by two lions, which represent the two mythical characters Hipómenes and Atalanta. The goddess and lions are made of marble and the rest of the fountain is made of stone.
In addition, there is a legend that says that if you would dig below the fountain of Cibeles, you would get to the gold of Banco de España, the Spanish Bank which is located just in front of the fountain. The goddess of Cibeles is also an icon for the fans of the football team, Real Madrid. After winning a cup, the players of Real Madrid visit the fountain to celebrate, as well as the Spanish national team.
As you see, you cannot leave Madrid without seeing La Cibeles in person.
Felipe III (Address: Plaza Mayor-Madrid, s/n)
Madrid has many statues of ¨important¨ and historical figures on horses. A fun fact: the position of the legs of the horse tells you the way the person, sitting on top of it, died. If the horse has all 4 legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes, if the horse has one leg in the air, the person died of wounds obtained during combat and if the horse has two legs in the air, the person died during combat. In other words, the position of the legs of the horse shows if the person was brave and died like a hero.
Located on Plaza Mayor, one of the most important squares of the city center of Madrid, you can find the statue of Felipe III. Felipe III was the first Spanish king that was born in Madrid, in 1578. You can see that the horse is holding one leg in the air, which means that Felipe III died of wounds obtained during combat, but actually Felipe III died of a disease, which means his horse should have all legs on the ground. Apparently, he wanted people to think he died as a braver man than he actually was.
The real reason we mention this statue in our blog is because of something strange that happened to it. If you look closely, you can see that the belly of the horse is strangely big. What happened is that during a period of time birds flew into the open mouth of the horse and went into its hollow belly. As they could not find their way out, they would eventually die. People, who heard the noises from the birds inside the statue, thought its surrounding was haunted, as many people were executed on Plaza Mayor back in the days. One day, close to new year's, a person inserted firework into the statue and, as the horse´s belly was filled with rotten bird-corpses, the belly exploded, showing the corpses of the birds. The mystery about the ghosts was solved, the mouth of the horse was closed, and the belly was restored.
Monumento a Cervantes (Address: Plaza de España)
To all of you, who went to school and actually did their homework, the name Miguel de Cervantes must sound familiar. For the ones who skipped school; Cervantes was a Spanish novelist, playwright and poet and, above all, very famous for creating Don Quixote, one of the most important books of all times and the first modern novel. The story of Don Quixote is about a man, who called himself Don Quixote, who left his hometown in La Mancha to go on a quest for adventure. Together with his companion Sancho Panza, Don Quixote started his journey while experiencing different comedic misadventures.
The Monumento to Cervantes was created in different parts over time. The monument consists of different statues, but the most important ones are the two bronze statues of Don Quicote and Sancho Panza in the front and, behind them, the large statue of Cervantes holding a copy of the book about Don Quixote.
Goya (Address: Calle de Felipe IV, s/n)
Perhaps you are already organizing your trip to Madrid and planning on visiting the Prado Museum? If this is the case, you should definitely visit the statue of the famous painter Goya. Francisco Goya, who was born in 1746, was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered one of the most important Spanish artists from his time. He was also awarded the title of ¨first painter of the king¨. By the age of 47 Goya was deafened due to an illness. After this tragic event, Goya his style changed and showed more loneliness, fear and alienation.
Nevertheless, his paintings are truly beautiful. Some of our favorites are ¨La pradera de San Isidro¨ (hanging in the Prado Museum) and ¨El aquelarre¨ (Hanging in the Lazaro Galdiano Museum).
Monumento a Goya (Monument to Goya) have had three different locations here in Madrid; in 1902 the statue was installed on Paso de Coches del Retiro, inside of the Retiro park. Three years later the monument was moved to Calle Goya, a street named after the famous painter and in 1945 it was placed on its current location; just in front of the Prado Museum. Do not forget to pay your respects to Goya when visiting the Prado Museum.
Los bebes de Atocha (Address: Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, 3)
Our name for these statues is ¨Los bebes de Atocha¨, which means the babies of Atocha, but the official name of the two baby-head-statues, is ¨Dia y Noche¨, which means day and night. We have chosen to include the two statues because the story behind the heads is very sweet and they are very surprising to encounter.
Antonio López is the artists who created the two heads. The story is that when one of his granddaughters was born, he felt a very strong connection with her. Therefore, he decided to take her face and create two versions of it; one is with here eyes very wide open, which represents day-time, and the other one is with her eyes closed while sleeping, which represents the night.
In 2002, the statues were placed next to the train station of Atocha Renfe with the goal of modernizing and renovating this important station in Madrid. Therefore, for all who are arriving to- or department from Madrid, we recommend you look around when exiting or entering the station to find these enormous heads of the cutest face of a baby.
Mujer con Espejo (Address: Calle de Génova, 30)
In the middle between two busy roads and located almost on the hectic Plaza Colon (Columbus Square) you can find the statue called ¨Mujer con Espejo¨, which means woman with mirror. She is completely naked, made out of bronze and weighs over one thousand kilos.
Her creator, Fernando Botero, gave the statue as a present to Madrid in the year 1994. Fernando Botero Angulo is a painter and sculptor from Colombia. He also created other sculptures for Madrid, such as La Mano (Plaza de San Juan de la Cruz) and El Rapto de Europa (Terminal 1, Aeropuerto Adolfo Suarez de Barajas).
Mujer con Espejo is also known, amongst the people from Madrid, as ¨Gordas Botero¨, which means ¨Fatties of Botero¨. Although the people of Madrid use the plural of fat, Botero says he has never painted or sculptured a fat person in his life. He says he created the voluminous body of Mujer con Espejo to show sensuality.
The women of Mujer con Espejo is lying face down, with her head tilted towards the statue of Christopher Columbus, who is standing in the middle of Columbus Square. With her right hand she is stroking her hair in a flirty way and in her left hand she is holding a mirror in which she is not looking. When in Madrid, just pay her a visit. You will enjoy seeing this massive statue in real life.
Vecinas de Bronce (Address: throughout the neighborhood of Malasaña)
In the neighborhood of Mad4You Hostel; Malasaña, you can find four bronze statues called ¨Vecinas de bronce¨, which means the bronze neighbors, but actually they are all female students:
The first one is ¨Lectora Empedernida¨, which means inveterate reader. You can find her sitting on one of the benches of Plaza Dos de Mayo since 1999. On Plaza San Ildefonso you can find the second one, called ¨Joven Caminando¨, which means the young one walking. This statue has been here since 1996 and shows a typical young student, walking with her backpack and binder. Almost on the corner of Calle Pez and Calle San Bernardo you can visit the third and, at the same time, our favorite statue called Julia. She is the last statue that came to the neighborhood in 2003. The story tells that in the 19th century Julia went as a student to the Central University in Calle San Bernardo. At that time only boys where aloud to study at the university, so Julia dressed up as a boy and also went. The fourth- and last bronze statue is called ¨Paseante¨ which means stroller or walker. Behind her you can find the School of Arts, located on Calle Palma number 46. Due to her location people believe she used to be a student at this school.
The neighborhood of Malasaña wanted to upgrade its urban landscape and therefore started a contest, in which the students of the School of Arts participated, to obtain ideas. The winners of the contest are the creators of the Vecinas de Bronce.

Keep right on to the end (of the charter). No constructive redelivery under bareboat charter.
On January 12, 2016 March 17, 2016 By Professor Simon BaughenIn Admiralty Law, Bareboat Charter, Charterparties, Ship Arrest
The termination of a demise charter pursuant to the shipowner's right of withdrawal is a more complex process than with an ordinary time charter. The charterer still has its crew on board the vessel and some time may elapse before the shipowner is able to retake physical possession of the vessel. In the interim charterers may have entered into commitments with bunker suppliers and with cargo owners, pursuant to bills of lading.
In The Chem Orchid Lloyd's Law Reports , [2014] 1 Lloyd's Rep. 520, the High Court of Singapore had to decide whether the bareboat charterer, the "relevant person" who would be liable in personam, was the demise charterer when the cause of action arose, so as to found jurisdiction under s.4(4) of the Singapore High Court (Admiralty Jurisdiction) Act, which is in identical terms to s.21(4) of the UK Senior Courts Act 1981. The Assistant Registrar struck out the writs in rem on the grounds that the charter had been terminated prior to the issue of the writs. Accordingly, the vessel could not be arrested in relation to claims arising in the interim between the notice of termination being given and physical redelivery of the vessel to the shipowners.
The decision has now been reversed by Steven Chong J, [2015] 2 Lloyd's Rep. 666, who held that the charter had not been validly terminated, but even it had, there was no concept of constructive delivery applicable to the termination of bareboat charters which continue until physical redelivery. Therefore, at the time the in rem writs were issued by the bunker suppliers and the cargo claimants, the vessel was still in the possession of the charterers.
On 20 January 2016 the Singapore Court of Appeal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear an appeal from this decision. [2016] SCGA 04.
