Saba Kord Afshari, a civil activist who is currently imprisoned in Evin Prison, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for "promoting corruption", a charge of which she was previously acquitted. Her lawyer has expressed his concerns regarding her acquittal which was communicated to her in prison, emphasizing the unlawful proceedings of her case. Should this error in judgment fail to be remedied Ms. Kord Afshari, who is currently serving a nine-year sentence can face up to 24 years of imprisonment in total.
According to HRANA Saba Kord Afshari, a civil activist imprisoned in Evin Prison was informed of her acquittal from a 15-year sentenced on the charge of "spreading corruption". Hossein Taj, Ms. Kord Afshari's lawyer states: "On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, Saba Kord Afshari contacted me from Evin Prison and informed me that she was informed of re-announcement of her previous sentence of 15 years, from which she was acquitted in the appeals court. According to her, this was done through a letter issued by the execution division, although I was informed of her acquittal in person following her court at Branch 36 of the Court of Appeal. I was informed today that the content of her verdict of the appeals court (from which she was acquitted) has changed, and I intend to follow up with the intelligence department of the Judiciary system."
Ms. Kord Afshari received this new verdict after she was issued an acquittal in writing on March 17, 2018, by the Evin Prosecutor's Office on the charge of "promoting corruption and prostitution through appearing without a headscarf in public." On May 26, 2020, she received another notice by the Ershad Prosecutor's Office in which she is sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for "promoting corruption and prostitution through appearing without a headscarf in public" 1 year and 6 months of imprisonment for "propaganda against the regime." As well as "assembly and collusion with an intent to commit a crime against the national security."
Saba Kord Afshari was arrested for the first time on August 2, 2018, alongside 50 others, during a series of protests that occurred July-August 2018 against the deterioration of Iran's economy as well as the corruption within the government. She was first transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin and later, in October 2018, to Evin prison's women's ward. In August 2018, she was sentenced to one year in prison on the charge of "disrupting the public order" at Branch 28 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court led by Judge Moghiseh. She was released on 14 February 2019 when Iran's Supreme Leader pardoned a large number of prisoners in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
On June 2, 2019, Ms. Kord Afshari was rearrested by security forces at her home and was transferred to the Vozara Detention Center in Tehran. Her house was searched during this raid, and several items of her personal belongings including her mobile phone and laptop were also confiscated. This civil activist was charged only one day after her arrest in Branch 1 of the General and Revolutionary Court of Tehran's 21st District Court (Ershad Prosecutor's Office) and was transferred to Qarchak Prison in Varamin for interrogation for 11 days, on June 21st she was transferred from Qarchak to the IRGC Intelligence center of Evin Prison's Ward 2-A and was once again returned to Qarchak Prison on July 2, 2019.
Saba Kord Afshari was transferred to Evin Prison on August 13, 2019, and her trial was held on August 19, 2018. Finally, on September 26, 2019, she was sentenced by Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari. Her sentences included 15 years of imprisonment on the charge of "promoting corruption and prostitution through appearing without a headscarf in public" 1 year and 6 months in prison on the charge of "propaganda against the state" and 7 years and 6 months in prison on the charge of " assembly and collusion with an intent to commit a crime against the national security", which adds up to a total of 24 years in prison along with other social deprivations. Due to the number of crimes and previous records, each charge was added by one-half. This sentence was reduced to nine years in prison in December 2019 at Branch 36 of the Tehran Court of Appeals, presided over by Judge Ahmad Zargar.
In accordance with Court of Appeals, Saba Kord Afshari was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months imprisonment on the charge of "propaganda against the regime" and 7 years and 6 months in prison on charges of " assembly and collusion with an intent to commit a crime against national security."Based on Article 134 of Iran's Islamic Penal Code, the charge with the highest penalty will be considered; this means that Ms. Kord Afshari should serve 7 years and six months in prison for the charge of "assembly and collusion to commit a crime against the security of the country". Hossein Taj, Ms. Kord Afshari's lawyer, has previously stated: "The Court of Appeals acquitted Saba Kordafsari of a part of her charges and as a result, her sentence was reduced to 9 years, 7.5 of which are imposable by law. We also remain hopeful that the Judiciary system mitigates the sentences of Ms. Kord Afshari and other political prisoners." Now, if the penal system fails to correct their violations, Ms. Kord Afshari, who is serving a nine-year prison sentence in Evin Prison, could face up to 24 years in prison.
It should be noted that Raheleh Ahmadi, a civil activist and Saba Kord Afshari's mother, is also serving a 31-month prison term at Evin Prison alongside her daughter.
Saba Kord Afshari was born on July 7, 1998.

Q: Bootstrap-select control populates but doesn't display as dropdown I have a bootstrap-select control declared in my page (for an ASP.NET web application), like so:

        Choose A Category...(required)
        <select class="form-control selectpicker" id="ddlCategories" title="Select..."></select>

On page load, I call the following Javascript function to load a list of categories via an AJAX call into the control:
function loadCategories() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "../handlers/getcategorylist.ashx",
        type: 'post',
        dataType: 'json',
        data: null,
        success: function (response) {
            $('#ddlCategories').empty();
            $('#ddlCategories').append('<option value="0" selected>Please choose...</option>');
            for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++)
                $('#ddlCategories').append('<option value=' + response[i].ID + '>' + response[i].Name + '</option>');
            $('#ddlCategories').selectpicker('refresh');
        },
        error: function (request, status, error) {
            $('#toastDataError').toast('show');
            $('#btnFinish').prop('disabled', true);
        }
    });
}

The AJAX call functions properly, and the data is getting loaded into the control.  However, the bootstrap-select control doesn't display as a dropdown.  The arrow is there on the right side, but the dropdown itself doesn't function.  If I remove the selectpicker class then it displays properly.
I have tried including the line $('#ddlCategories').selectpicker();' both before and after the call to the function that loads the control, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
This isn't an error with loading the necessary Javascript or CSS libraries either, since I don't get any errors to this effect in the console, so I am stumped as to why selectpicker doesn't work.
Any ideas on why this?  Thanks in advance.

A: After reconstructing a minimal reproducible example it seems that it is working.

function success(response) {
  $('#ddlCategories').empty();
  $('#ddlCategories').append('<option value="0" selected>Please choose...</option>');
  for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++)
    $('#ddlCategories').append('<option value=' + response[i].ID + '>' + response[i].Name + '</option>');
  $('#ddlCategories').selectpicker('refresh');
}

// fake ajax
setTimeout(function() {
  success([
    {ID: 1, Name: "cat"},
    {ID: 2, Name: "dog"},
    {ID: 3, Name: "dogger"},
  ]);
}, 500)

Frida Kahlo de Rivera was a Mexican painter, whom specialized in self-portraits. Inspired by Mexican popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicanidad movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a Surrealist or magical realist. Her work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.
Frida Kahlo lived from (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954).
Born to a German father and a mestiza mother, Kahlo spent most of her childhood and adult life at her family home, La Casa Azul, in Coyoacán. She was left disabled by polio as a child, and at the age of eighteen was seriously injured in a traffic accident, which caused her pain and medical problems for the rest of her life.
Prior to the accident, she had been a promising student headed for medical school, but in the aftermath had to abandon higher education. Although art had been her hobby throughout her childhood, Kahlo began to entertain the idea of becoming an artist during her long recovery. She was also interested in politics and in 1927 joined the Mexican Communist Party. Through the Party, she met the celebrated muralist Diego Rivera. They were married in 1928, and remained a couple until Kahlo's death. The relationship was volatile due to both having extramarital affairs; they divorced in 1940, but remarried the following year.
Kahlo spent the late 1920s and early 1930s traveling in Mexico and the United States with Rivera who was working on commissions.
During this time, she developed her own style as an artist, drawing her main inspiration from Mexican folk culture and painting mostly small self-portraits, which mixed elements from pre-Columbian and Catholic mythology.
Although always overshadowed by Rivera, her paintings raised the interest of Surrealist artist André Breton, who arranged for her to have her first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938. The exhibition was a success and was followed by another in Paris in 1939. While the French exhibition was less successful, the Louvre purchased a painting from Kahlo, making her the first Mexican artist to be featured in their collection.

Weight : 45 - 65 lbs.
Temperament: Samoyeds are gentle with children but may try to dominate other dogs. Samoyeds have a strong hunting instinct so they will chase other animals. Samoyeds need to be trained early to get along with your other pets.
Care: Too much brushing can harm the Samoyed's undercoat. A metal comb should be used to remove loose hairs during shedding.
Training: Training can be a challenge and needs to start early. Variety in the drills is key, as Samoyeds can get bored if asked to do the same task over and over and refuse to do anything. Screaming, shouting or hitting will not get the Samoyed's respect, in fact it will produce the opposite effect. The Samoyed will need to see you as both an authority figure and a friend. The Samoyed must be trained to come to you when very young.
Activity: The Samoyed needs plenty of exercise. Three short walks a day is not enough for this breed. Take the Samoyed for very long walks, or have it run alongside you as you ride a bicycle or go jogging. Samoyeds like to wander, so a good fence around the yard is required.
Description : Samoyeds are exceptionally strong animals yet good-natured, gentle and easy-going. Though a bit on the mischievous side, they have a fondness for people, especially children. Samoyeds are not easily trained as a general rule. Samoyed owners should be available to give of their time in both grooming and activity.

Cauliflower Coral (Pocillopora damicornis) often resembles the slightly more stout cousin of Acropora. It can also be confused with Bird's Nest Corals (Seriatopora sp.) or Cat's Paw Corals (Stylophora sp.). Cauliflower Coral grows in a similar branching style but with much their branches covered in tiny, fuzzy polyps. Most Pocillopora colonies are pink or purple but green, yellow and even violet-blue colonies are sometimes available. These corals typically need high lighting and strong water flow as well as pristine water quality to thrive in the home aquarium. This corals, like Acropora, can also play host to some small shrimps and crab that live within the branches so examine each colony thoroughly. While the "hitchhikers" usually do not damage the colony, the coral can become irritated if the hitchhiker becomes too large or aggressive.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is scrutinizing public companies that change their name or business model in a bid to capitalize upon the hype surrounding blockchain technology, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton said on Monday.
Dozens of little-known companies across the globe have seen their share prices leap in recent months after unveiling plans to enter the bitcoin industry or that of its underlying distributed ledger blockchain technology.
In December, the SEC temporarily suspended trading in the shares of Crypto Company (CRCW.PK), a small firm that saw its stock rise more than 2,700 percent after signing a deal to buy a cryptocurrency data platform.
Clayton warned that it was not acceptable for companies without a meaningful track record in the sector to dabble in blockchain technology, change their name and immediately offer investors securities without providing adequate disclosures around the risks involved.
"The SEC is looking closely at the disclosures of public companies that shift their business models to capitalize on the perceived promise of distributed ledger technology and whether the disclosures comply with the securities laws, particularly in the case of an offering," he told a conference on Monday.
The chairman also said the SEC had seen "disturbing" evidence that legal professionals have been wrongly counseling clients that initial coin offerings, whereby cryptocurrency start-ups solicit funds from investors who receive tokens in return, do not need to comply with federal securities law.
The SEC has previously said that such fundraisings should comply with securities law and has warned investors more broadly over the risks of cryptocurrency fraudsters.

National Interest cites reasons why America won't win a sanctions showdown over Iran
October 6, 2020 - 23:36
United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 makes for dry reading. The resolution and its appendices are over a hundred pages long, laying out the provisions of the UN's acceptance of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) brokered between Iran and the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany.
At its core, the resolution accepts the JCPOA and reinforces it with international law. Iran, it states, will refrain from certain levels of nuclear enrichment. In exchange, the Security Council will gradually lift the sanctions it applied against the country from 2006 until 2010.
The resolution is relevant again today because the Trump administration's newest effort to sanction Iran relies heavily on a controversial reading of one of its provisions. On August 14, America introduced a resolution that would have extended the UN Security Council's arms embargo on Iran, which is scheduled to expire on October 18. Russia and China, who want to sell weapons to Iran, voted against the resolution, and eleven of the remaining twelve nations abstained, killing the measure and keeping the October expiration date intact. Faced with this outcome, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo invoked Resolution 2231 in an August 20 letter to UNSC President Dian Triansyah Djani of Indonesia, demanding a reimposition of all JCPOA sanctions and therefore blocking the arms embargo's sunset.
Could Pompeo actually do this? The key provision in Resolution 2231 lies in its eleventh paragraph, which decrees that:
"Within 30 days of receiving a notification by a JCPOA participant State of an issue that the JCPOA participant State believes constitutes significant non-performance of commitments under the JCPOA, it shall vote on a draft resolution to continue in effect the terminations in paragraph 7 (a) of this resolution."
This paragraph lays out the principle of "snapback sanctions." If any "participant state" in the JCPOA feels that Iran is in "significant non-performance of commitments," then it can file a complaint with the UN Security Council and request an end to sanctions relief. Once this complaint has been made, the other members of the Security Council can either accept it or pass a resolution saying that the complaint is invalid and sanctions relief should continue. Crucially, however, that resolution can then be vetoed by any of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. Therefore, in effect, any of the P5 countries can force others to reimpose sanctions on Iran by filing a complaint and vetoing any attempt to invalidate it. This is the mechanism Pompeo intended to use when he delivered his August 20 message.
The United States now has neither the legal standing nor the political capital to coax Europe into doing what it wants. However, there is a big problem with this: The United States is, by any conventional understanding, no longer a "participant state" in the JCPOA, so it lacks the standing to file a complaint. The Trump administration's response, explained in Foreign Policy by Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, is that America's status as a "JCPOA participant" is permanent, its actual commitment to the deal notwithstanding. If so, from a legal perspective, Pompeo's actions are valid, and the Security Council must snap back its sanctions. However, others have criticized this argument. In the same magazine, Iranian journalist Saheb Sadeghi calls this understanding of Paragraph 11 "shallow and legally tenuous," and also notes that if the United States was still a participant in the deal, it would be legally required to fulfill its own share of the obligations—obligations which, of course, it stopped complying with in 2018.
Legal chicanery aside, the United States has made it clear that it is not currently participating in the JCPOA. Trump has been using this as a talking point for two years, and the rest of the UN Security Council has taken him at his word. Consequently, after Pompeo issued his letter on August 20, thirteen of the fifteen current members of the UN Security Council announced that they viewed Pompeo's proclamation as invalid. Rather than introduce a resolution to vote down Pompeo's complaint, the rest of the Security Council simply ignored the complaint altogether. This group included Russia and China, but it also included Britain, France, and Germany—our historic allies, and all the original signatories to the JCPOA—as well as Belgium, Indonesia, Vietnam, Niger, South Africa, Estonia, Tunisia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. (The Dominican Republic is still in America's corner.) Since there was no consensus on the legitimacy of the complaint, Djani declined to act on it.
Predictably, the Trump administration officials proclaimed indifference. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft said that the United States government did not "need a cheering section to validate our moral compass." Still, the UN setback was unquestionably embarrassing. It became a great deal more embarrassing when, on September 19, Pompeo issued a statement insisting that, since the UN Security Council's thirty-day period had elapsed, all economic sanctions on Iran were legally back in effect, and demanding that "all UN Member States […] fully comply with their obligations to implement these measures." So far, all UN member states have ignored him.
Tehran was unsurprisingly delighted by the impending expiration of its arms embargo and by the United States' evident miscalculation of its own influence on its allies. On September 21, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's most skilled defender, addressed the Council on Foreign Relations, saying, "The behavior of governments internationally indicates whether those governments are respected international actors. And today, as we stand, it is the United States which is considered by the international community as an irresponsible actor that violates international norms, that acts arbitrarily based on, basically, will use force and power."
"An irresponsible actor that violates international norms?"
Because of the Trump administration's no-holds-barred, utterly transactional approach to foreign policy in general, the United States now has neither the legal standing nor the political capital to coax Europe into doing what it wants.
After the arms embargo's expiration in two weeks, the Islamic Republic will promptly begin buying conventional arms from Russia and China, notably including modern fighter aircraft to replace its aging fleet. The Trump administration will be put in the difficult position of what to do next. Either it can allow the sale, or it can double down and try to discourage Russia and China from selling to Iran by threatening reprisals. But if Russia and China call America's bluff and go ahead with the sale, and if Europe continues to refuse to follow the Trump administration's lead, its next steps are much less clear. No matter his decision, if the president is re-elected in November, the escalating conflict with Iran is likely to dominate his second term.

Carriera
Nato in Scozia, Taylor iniziò a correre nei sidecar a 19 anni come passeggero nel mezzo di Kenny Andrews, per poi passare alla guida di un suo "tre ruote".

Nel 1977 fu campione scozzese sidecar e l'anno successivo fece il suo esordio nel Motomondiale, con passeggeri prima Lewis Ward (che a stagione in corso decise di ritirarsi) e poi James Neil ottenendo il suo primo podio al GP di Gran Bretagna e il 7º posto nella classifica finale del campionato. Un mese dopo il suo primo podio mondiale vinse la sua prima gara internazionale ad Assen. Il 1978 fu anche l'anno dell'esordio al TT dell'Isola di Man; per questo appuntamento Taylor scelse come passeggero l'esperto Kenny Arthur, con cui ottenne un secondo ed un terzo posto.

Nella stagione 1979 Taylor fu costretto a cambiare tre passeggeri: James Neil, Jim Law e, infine, lo svedese ex pilota di 125 Benga Johansson. In coppia con Johansson, Taylor vinse il suo primo GP, quello di Svezia, finendo il mondiale al 5º posto.

Il 1980 vide la coppia Taylor-Johansson Campione del Mondo e campione britannica sidecar. La stagione successiva fu meno proficua per lo scozzese, con il terzo posto iridato e un nuovo titolo britannico, senza però dimenticare la doppia vittoria al Tourist Trophy. La folle gara all'Isola di Man diede ancora una soddisfazione alla coppia Taylor/Johansson l'anno successivo, quando stabilirono il record del tracciato a  ().

Scomparsa
La stagione 1982 vide Taylor ancora in coppia con Johansson. Dopo 5 GP nei quali aveva raccolto due terzi posti, un quarto e un sesto, la sesta gara stagionale, quella di Finlandia, fu fatale per lo scozzese: la pioggia battente gli fece perdere il controllo del sidecar, schiantatosi contro un palo; mentre si cercava di spostare il mezzo, un altro sidecar urtò quello di Taylor, provocandogli gravi ferite che lo portarono alla morte poche ore dopo in ospedale.

Taylor è sepolto nel cimitero della natia Pencaitland, dove una targa lo ricorda. Una lapide in sua memoria è stata posta anche a Imatra. In ricordo del grande pilota scozzese si tiene ogni anno sul circuito di Knockhill il Jock Taylor Memorial Trophy, una gara commemorativa riservata ai sidecar.

Finau and Schauffele are among 6 picks for U.S. Ryder Cup Team
New York Times reporting: Six golfers were named on Wednesday Sept. 8 to round out the 12-man American team that will compete in the latest Ryder Cup match against a team of European golfers to be played Sept. 24 to 26 at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wisconsin. The U.S. Ryder Cup captain, Steve Stricker, selected as his choices Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Harris English, Daniel Berger and Scottie Scheffler.
Playoff defeat denies Finau second career PGA Tour victory
United States, Scottsdale, Arizona
Tony Finau's goal for 2020 was to finally return to the winner's circle on the PGA Tour. It's been four years since his first and only title, at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open, but odds were good that he would finally win again this season. The goal still remains elusive.
Tony Finau: "I'm yearning for that feeling again"
La Quinta, California
The last time Tony Finau won on the PGA Tour was in 2016 when he defeated 70 professional golfers to win the 2016 Puerto Rico Open. That historic victory made Tony the first Polynesian and Tongan to win on the PGA Tour. Since then, the 30-year-old, is determined to win his second. Tony is in La Quinta to participate in The American Express – his second PGA Tour event of the year, set to begin tomorrow 16 January.
Tony Finau takes road less travelled to PGA Tour
Meet golf's next superstar, whose journey to professional golf followed an unusual route. The inspiring story of Tony Finau - a talented kid of Samoan and Tongan heritage who won the respect of veteran pros. By Chris Cox, Senior Communications Manager for the PGA Tour.
Tony Finau to play for U.S. Team at 13th President's Cup
U.S. Tongan golfer Tony Finau will join a team of four American golfers led by the legendary Tiger Woods at the 13th President's Cup this December in Melbourne, Australia. Tiger Woods was given the privilege of handpicking the American team, selecting Tony Finau, Patrick Reed, Gary Woodland and himself.

Tony wins Puerto Rico Open, moves on to Houston Open
Tony Finau has hatched his first PGA tour win and a prize of $540,000 after winning the Puerto Rico Open last Sunday, March 27. He now looks for a second career win in the Shell Houston Open where he faces the likes of former PGA champion Phil Mickleson. The four day competition commenced today.


HSN Community / Forums / Crafts & Sewing / 25 Hour Craft Day???
Noticed that Crafter's Companion is on tonight an hour earlier than usual, (11pmET) they did that last time we had a Craft Day, but didn't we run into some issues with the $5 total shipping?
It's wonderful if we have an extra hour, but I don't think we should have to pay the extra $5 because of it as it benefits HSN if we crafters are early bird shopping. We're thrifty (not cheap 🙂 ) and will fill those carts but the $5 shipping is a very welcome bonus. I contacted Customer Service and while they weren't 100% sure, they did believe it would cost the extra $5 shipping for the 1 hour of Crafter's Companion. In other words, the $5 shipping charges would start again, with Anna at midnight.
If a Craft Mod or CS Supervisor could confirm this, then we can know beforehand and save some confusion– and possibly upset folks later in the day. Thanks.

Bharatpur : Leading heritage hoteliers in Rajasthan on Friday said hospitality industry in the state can play a big role in ensuring dignified job opportunities for the state's available work force of over two crore.
On the second day of the 7th Annual Convention of the Indian Heritage Hotels Association (IHHA) held in Bharatpur on Friday, IHHA President Gaj Singh of Jodhpur said protecting the built heritage and conserving the local traditional and cultural values of communities is a must for sustainable development.
"The industry needs to continuously innovate keeping in mind the architecture and historically significant features of heritage properties to generate new activities for the tourists," Singh said.
"Hoteliers should create an experience which is so unique that it remains with the people throughout their lives," Nath said.
Head/Chair at Australian Museums, Vinod Daniel, highlighted global approaches in managing heritage, both tangible and intangible. He also threw light on several best practices both on national and state level. Placing emphasis on curating a well-devised strategy, he said the plan needs to be implemented over several political cycles.
Author of Destination India, International Tourism Consultant, Navin Berry, said over the decades the understanding of tourism has dramatically enlarged and has transformed into a completely different entity.
"From sightseeing, it has expanded to cover a much wider gamut of activities. It encompasses weddings, experiential tourism, among others. While travel has become a hassle-free exercise owing to technology, the tourism industry itself has been found reluctant in chasing these new streams," Berry said.
In her presentation, Director, Preservation of Sites and Monuments- National Heritage Board, Singapore, Jean Wee, shared some of Singapore's experiences as well as reflections on how some projects from around the world have achieved success.
She said often heritage preservation brings out the worst in everyone as it starts with a major difference in opinion. "However, preservation must be a shared pre-occupation. It should offer all stakeholders a value proposition for commitment, participation and support," she said.
Director, Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Telangana, N.R. Visalatchy outlined the efforts being made for preservation and excavation of monuments in the state.

Seattle City Council endorses bid for Seattle as a 'City of Literature'
Posted by Mary Ann Gwinn
The Seattle City Council has endorsed a bid for Seattle to join an international network of cities devoted to literature, sponsored by the international organization UNESCO.
The UNESCO Creative Cities network is a group of 41 cities worldwide with specialties in film, literature, design, music, gastronomy and other areas. Seattle writer Ryan Boudinot is leading an effort to get Seattle designated as a City of Literature.
The resolution passed by the City Council Monday afternoon cited Seattle's rich literary life, including its writers, its independent booksellers, its writing programs, and its vibrant library system. The application is supported by several local and national organizations, including the Seattle Public Library and "Nancy Pearl, the only librarian to ever be turned into an action figure," according to the resolution.
Seattle City Council member Nick Licata said the motion, which passed unanimously, represents an enthusiastic endorsement that organizers can take to UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). "We are looking good for this," he said.
What does Seattle, with its already vibrant literary scene, get out of the designation? "It will help us attract more authors," said Licata. "We're recognized as a city that reads a lot. Authors can tell publishers to include Seattle on their circuit. The more authors come, the more bookstores sell books… and Amazon, of course. The literary scene has grown tremendously, but it doesn't have that banner attention that music has. Music, visual arts, literature. I think it's a way of pumping up the third leg of the cultural stool."
If Seattle is approved for inclusion in the network, it will join other "cities of literature," including Edinburgh, Dublin, Krakow, Melbourne, Reykjavik, Norwich England and Iowa City, Iowa. Edinburgh is notable for its libraries and the Scottish Book Trust; Iowa City is the location of the world-renowned Iowa Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa.
In an e-mail, Boudinot said he would travel the first week of February to UNESCO headquarters in Paris and then to Edinburgh, Norwich, and Dublin "to make the case that Seattle belongs in the Creative Cities Network," he wrote. He visited Reykjavik in October.
The full application to UNESCO is due March 20. Cities learn whether they've been accepted into the program on November 30.

Evernote continues to improve its service and this latest update brings the reminder feature that was just added to iOS a couple weeks ago.
A couple weeks ago, Evernote added reminders to the iOS platform. Today, they revealed they are rolling out reminders for Android and I couldn't be happier.
I use Evernote quite a bit and with their recent security update , I have even more confidence in their service. I did jump to using my iPhone last week because I find the reminder functionality key to using Evernote for my task list.
My HTC One never left my pocket, but this Evernote Android update (version 5.1) makes it even more compelling. We are starting to see apps and updates come to Android much quicker than we did in the past and I find no real app gap between Android and iOS.

DAYTONA BEACH SHORES -- You can't accuse Sandy Adams of playing politics in coming to Daytona Beach Shores Friday for a listening session -- with residents who most likely will be unable to vote for her in the fall.
The first-term congresswoman from Orlando has been holding listening sessions throughout District 24 -- which covers parts of four counties including most of Southeast Volusia -- since she was elected in 2010. Eighteen, to be exact (she's counting).
But the maps that have emerged from the Legislature as part of the once-a-decade process of redrawing political lines leave Adams in a more compact district with a new number: 7.
If the maps withstand court challenges, the local part of the district would shift to Southwest Volusia. That means the people at Friday's listening session will be living and voting in a different district.
The new political borders create a potential primary battle pitting Adams against 10-term incumbent John Mica, the chairman of the powerful House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. Mica, who now represents Flagler County and the area north of Adams' district in Volusia, also lives within the borders of the new District 7, and that's where he's decided to run.
Adams deflected a question Friday about her political future. In a letter to supporters earlier this month, she asked for their help against a "career" politician while trying to distinguish herself as the more conservative candidate.
That message came across clear at Friday's listening session in the City Council chambers in Daytona Beach Shores. Adams filled an hour with a 15-minute presentation followed by a question-and-answer session with a group of about 25 residents who, based on the questions at least, might have been even more conservative than she. (One questioner earned points with the crowd by challenging the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's birth certificate.)
Adams' presentation included slides and giant poster boards detailing things like the growth of the debt and the rise in the number of Americans on food stamps.
"The issues facing our nation are not Republican or Democrat. They're American," she said in her opening remarks before explaining why she held the president and Senate Democrats responsible for blocking progress.
"She would definitely be missed (if the new districts hold up)," said Joe Mote of Daytona Beach Shores. "We finally got a good, conservative congressperson. We'd hate to see her go."
Party leaders say they haven't given up hope of convincing either Adams or Mica to shift districts before qualifying in June. Their actions so far have set off a row of political dominoes in the area.
Craig Miller -- who ran against Adams in 2010 -- dropped out of the U.S. Senate race to make a bid for the new District 6. State Rep. Fred Costello announced plans to run for that seat as well, once he learned Mica wasn't pursuing it.
It's becoming a crowded field (at least among Republicans). District 6 stretches from Volusia's southern border to the northern border of St. Johns County and also takes in part of Putnam County. Jacksonville-based lawyer Ron DeSantis and Jacksonville City Councilman Richard Clark -- both Republicans -- also have announced plans to run for that seat.
Adams, who served eight years in the Florida House before her run for Congress, is a fiscal conservative who rode to victory two years ago in part on the tide of tea party support. She appeals to many of the most conservative Republicans, who appreciate her message on the budget and her work habits, which include never missing a vote in Congress (by comparison, Senate candidate Connie Mack IV has missed 29 of 33 votes so far this year).
Though she wouldn't back away Friday from statements that she will stick to the anticipated primary battle in District 7, she explained why she would keep a commitment to visit an area that would no longer be in the district. "The only way I can be your voice is if I come out and hear from you one-on-one," she said near the end of the session. "I owe it to you to have that conversation."

McMullen Exhibit To Display Interwar Photography
February 2, 2014 Connor Farley News
Starting Feb. 15 and continuing through June 8, the McMullen Museum of Art will transition into its next exhibit, "Paris Night and Day: Photography between the Wars"-a collection of images taken by Paris-based photographers between 1918 and 1939.
The diverse arrangement of post-World War I Paris photographs was the result of the photographic technology of the time beginning to take form, which allowed users to capture moments of spontaneity in daily Parisian life.
Others within the 20th-century Parisian context used advanced equipment to capture moments of nightlife, expanding their photographic reach to night clubs, dancehalls, and theaters.
The exhibition's featured artists include Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Ilse Bing, Bill Brandt, Dora Maar, and Man Ray-the American modernist photographer who made notable contributions within the fields of Dada and Surrealist art. All of the photographers used their artistic abilities through darkrooms and innovative techniques to depict subjects in an unprecedented way.
"The McMullen is pleased to present the research undertaken by Ash Anderson and his students on the superb photographs from the collection of Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg," said Nancy Netzer, professor of art history and director of the McMullen Museum, in a statement to the Office of News and Public Affairs.
"The collection includes several master prints: the best examples of well-known and celebrated 20th-century photographs."
Comprised of more than 100 original pieces, the exhibition is largely from the private collection of Michael Mattis, a former lab physicist-turned full-time art collector, and his wife, Judith Hochberg. Part-time history of photography teacher in the fine arts department and exhibition curator Ash Anderson will also be leading students in research on the photographs that will be presented by the McMullen Museum throughout the exhibition.
The structure and layout of the exhibit, organized by Anderson and his students, also shapes the way viewers pace the gallery by being categorized into nine sections: Setting the Stage; New Visions; The Theater of the Street; Something which is not in the Louvre; The Avant-Garde Circle: Artists before the Lens; Seeing Photographically; The Manipulated Photograph; Paris at Night; and Camera as Voyeur: Looking behind the Scenes.
"This exhibition offers the rare opportunity to consider both canonical and rarely seen photographs from this unusually rich period in the history of photography," Anderson said in a press release from the McMullen Museum. "These pictures illustrate a complex evolution in the ways photographers defined themselves in relation to art.
"We see them simultaneously looking to photography's past for inspiration and playfully testing the limits of their medium," he said. "We are delighted to feature some exceptionally beautiful examples of these photographs."
Anderson defines much of the inspiration of the artists as being derived from a desire to take more risks. The museum recognizes the works of the featured photographers as a separation from a time before the First World War-a time when artists could utilize original methods of capturing modern subjects.
"This period is one in which the photographers took real risks in their effort to produce modern images," Anderson said in the museum's press release. "In the wake of World War I they had an opportunity to break away from tradition and redefine photography's relationship to art, and they did so with a combination of enthusiasm and endless experimentation."
"Paris Night and Day" marks the museum's second major exhibition of the 2013-14 academic year and the 55th since the museum's inception. The exhibited artwork is underwritten by Boston College, the patrons of the McMullen Museum, and the Newton College Class of 1964.
Admission to the gallery is free and open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum will host a public reception on Monday, Feb. 17 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in Devlin 101, and prospective visitors can visit www.bc.edu/artmuseum for further information.

The world's poor need jobs, too
By Michael Schuman @MichaelSchumanSept. 24, 2010
I'd like to congratulate the United Nations for finally catching on to what the real world has known about alleviating poverty for decades: Poor people need good jobs. The U.N. Research Institute for Social Development released a report earlier this month called Combating Poverty and Inequality that assessed the progress made by policymakers around the world towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which aim to greatly reduce poverty and hunger by 2015, In it, the institute wisely criticized ongoing development efforts for not addressing certain key issues that could help uplift the poor in a sustainable way. Governments have been too focused on targeted social welfare programs and not enough on job creation. Here's a bit of the report:
Employment represents a crucial channel through which income derived from growth can be widely shared. If people have adequately remunerated jobs, they can lift themselves out of poverty, participate in social insurance schemes that enhance their well-being, and improve their educational and health status. In short, employment-centered growth can have a strong multiplier effect on various MDG targets.
What I found so startling as I read through the report was that anyone paying even casual attention to what's gone on in the developing world could have come to this conclusion in the 1970s. The emerging nations that have been most successful at eradicating poverty – mainly out here in Asia – have clearly shown the importance of job creation and pointed the way towards achieving it. Apparently, segments of the global development community have remained unwilling to accept what really helps end poverty – to the detriment of the poor. And based on what I've read of the report, they still don't completely get it.
There has always been something of a bias in development circles against Asia's growth story. That's mainly because Asia's (varied) methods have never fit neatly into favored ideologically based prescriptions for turning poor nations rich. One strain of thought, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, argued that trade and free enterprise wouldn't alleviate poverty and the state had to do the job. "Dependency" theorists believed that the world economy was rigged against poor countries, and by participating in it, they would remain reliant on their former colonial masters. The predominant thinking shifted course when free markets came back into vogue, especially from the 1980s, and poor countries were encouraged to throw themselves open to foreign trade and investment. Asia charted its own course, mixing free enterprise and state action in ways uncomfortable for many theorists. Thus, despite its obvious success, some development economists weren't paying attention. The World Bank didn't put out its famous "East Asian Miracle" report until 1993, forty years after Japan first began experimenting with its export-led growth model, and thirty years after South Korea and Taiwan had joined in as well.
From the very beginning, Asia's policymakers were highly concerned about creating good jobs. For Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore, it was a near obsession. In the first few pages of his colossal memoir, From Third World to First, Lee mentions that the need to create jobs was among his earliest priorities upon Singapore's independence in 1965. What Asia's leaders did is connect their economies to the world economy, capitalizing on their comparative advantages – mainly cheap, plentiful labor – to woo factories from high-cost countries, thus creating millions of new, well-paying jobs. But governments weren't idle, either. They encouraged private enterprise and foreign investment with goodies like tax breaks. Instead of wasting money on welfare programs, they funneled resources into making the economy more productive and efficient, especially by improving education and infrastructure. That helped Asian countries "move up the value chain" into higher-tech industries (ships, cars, electronics) that created yet better-paying jobs.
I'm not breaking any news on this analysis. But it appears new to the folks at the U.N., who in this current report are finally recommending such measures, including:
Government-directed investment in infrastructure; development finance to channel credit to specific productive activities; well-managed industrial and agricultural policies, such as subsidies and tax credits, extension services and redistributive land reform; the pursuit of dynamic competitive advantage by nurturing the development of strategic industries and activities; and social policies to improve the skill levels and welfare of the population, such as investments in education, training and research. Similar kinds of interventions can be used in many countries today to transform the structure of employment and encourage the development, in the longer term, of a solid foundation of decent work opportunities.
I agree with almost all of these ideas, though I think the emphasis on industrial policy is a bit exaggerated in regard to poverty alleviation. Yes, Asian government did direct funds to specific industries, and that was a factor in their rapid development. But most of the jobs that got people out of poverty were created by free trade and private investment – in other words, the forces of globalization. But the U.N. seems uncertain about the impact of globalization. More from the report;
The traditional pattern of structural change may not apply in a world with open economies and networks of globalized production and trade. Globalization weakens the organic links between agriculture and industry, since an urban population can be fed by importing food rather than by supporting domestic agricultural production. The demand for manufactured goods can also be met by increased imports rather than by expanding domestic production. And global competition in the production of manufactured goods may lead to productivity improvements, which can cause industrial employment to fall behind industrial output.
This view, in my opinion, is a complete misunderstanding of the impact of globalization on jobs for the poor. Globalized methods of production only increase the opportunities for less-developed nations to create employment for their poor as factories and jobs can so readily move about the world. The resulting exports find customers overseas, so the level of domestic demand is not as important, especially at the early stages of poverty alleviation. The jobs created by globalization help employ excess labor in the countryside while increasing the number of urban customers capable of affording locally grown agricultural produce.
It is true that Asia-style, globalization-led methods of creating jobs is far from perfect. There is the problem, for example, of the "working poor" – people who find jobs but don't earn a living wage. But the Asian job-led method of poverty alleviation works. The only reason why other developing countries (and I mean Africa here) haven't been able to match Asia's success is weak governance. Their leaders haven't been capable of putting in place the policies necessary to capitalize on the forces of globalization. They haven't made themselves attractive for investment, either from their own citizens or international companies. Until that happens, the U.N. can write all of the reports it wants, but won't get very far.


Have you ever had a whole bull head with groups of people outdoors? Bull Head Feast is one of the most famous and traditional feast of Tujia people.Bull Head Feast in Tujia can trace back to thousand years ago.It is said to be the chieftain who was in charge of Tujia people and ruled the army to fight against enemies.In order to encourage soldiers vitality and confidence,the chieftain treated all the soldiers with big bull heads,which embody Tujia people's ambition and courage.Since the soldiers had the bull head feast together,they always won the battles and drove out the enemies.Though there is no clear written documents about bull head feast,oral stories about it have past from generation to generation.Whenever Tujia people host significant ceremonies,Tujia Bull Head Feasts are necessary.

Another "golden age" of comedy?
November 15, 2018 November 15, 2018 John Jewell	Comedy
This week BBC Wales announced that it was to recommission Tourist Trap, the sitcom set in a dysfunctional Welsh tourism office and written by Gareth Gwynn, Sian Harries and Tudur Owen.
Broadcast throughout October on BBC 1 Wales and as part of its "Festival of Funny" season, the show, starring amongst others, Sally Phillips (Bridget Jones's Diary, Miranda and Smack the Pony) and stand up Elis James, has proved a hit with audiences.
Paul Forde, Commissioning Executive for Comedy, said:
"The recent Festival of Funny demonstrated the wealth of comedy talent that exists in Wales. Tourist Trap, the first comedy on BBC Wales TV in nearly a decade was so well received by the audience that we wanted to establish it with a second run."
Which is great. And as Nick Andrews, Head of Commissioning at BBC Wales said in respect of other recently broadcast comedies such as Outsiders, The Tuckers and Halfway:
"Audiences are consuming comedy across multiple devices and platforms and we want BBC Wales to be leading the charge and developing the generation defining comedy of tomorrow. This development fund will allow us to discover and then incubate the very best of Welsh comedy talent."
Tourist Trap is the standout. Perceptively written and superbly acted, it's obviously set in Wales and is ostensibly about Wales. But it's really about so much more. It's about the little fiefdoms that we build in our workplaces as it captures the delusional self-importance we all bring to our everyday roles. It's the comedy of recognition in that sense and the comparisons to the peerless Office are valid, if a little unfair.
It is not artistically dishonest or creatively bankrupt to be influenced by the finest examples of the comedy genre. Besides which, the Office clearly owes a debt to rockumentary, Spinal Tap and the criminally neglected BBC series Operation Good Guys which was set in a police station and first broadcast in 1997.
Tourist Trap is, in fact, as much in the tradition of Dad's Army as it is in the Office. Sally Phillips as boss character Elaine Gibbons is Captain Mainwaring – less pompous perhaps, but nominally in charge and constantly floundering. Sarah Breese as Kath is her Sergeant Wilson. Solid, reliable providing the knowledge to combat the ignorance.
Then there is Mike Bubbins as Wyn, a wheeler dealer in the Private Walker mould who is actually so much more. Underneath the fragile shell of bravado and bluster are a multitude of inadequacies and insecurities. Wyn is winging it. He knows it, we know it, and his brilliantly drawn partner Charlotte (Mari Beard) knows it best of all. The sports clubs up and down the country are populated by people like Wyn. He is, like the majority of characters in Tourist Trap, operating at several levels above his capability trying his very best to convince everybody that he isn't.
The elements of familiarity are vital to the show's success. When call centre Kara (Mali Ann Rees) recommends to a potential tourist that they go down to Cardiff's chip alley to have "so many different cuisines" including "chips, chips wi' gravy, chips wi'curry sauce. I think tha's abou it, to be honest" she does so in the broadest Kairdiff accent.
And in order for this very short sequence to be fully understood, a set of situations, speech patterns and locations need to be recognised. The viewer needs to know the reputation of Cardiff's Caroline Street, that Kara's accent is set firmly in the capital city, and that the character's need to vouch for the truth even of the mildest of assertions is very much a South Walean verbal tic.
This is an example of a 'conditional joke' one that can only work with certain audiences. It's a funny scene in and of itself but like Gavin and Stacey before it, Tourist Trap recreates certain situations instantly familiar to Welsh audiences. The idea is that additional satisfaction will be gained from knowing the obscurity of the references mean that only they will fully get the joke.
But are we in a golden age of comedy? Well, there have been so many 'golden ages' of British television comedy that the term is almost use without value. For John Cleese, speaking in 2009, the good times were over by 1990. He told the Daily Telegraph:
"We had a golden age of comedy from about the mid-fifties that went through for the next 35 years or so and I think it was absolutely wonderful. I just don't think it's as good at the moment."
That's quite a run, but the truth is, contrary to Cleese's obviously personal view, each decade since the 1950's and up to the present day has produced work which has been both lauded critically (the usual barometer by which quality is judged) and appreciated by audiences.
I think it's fair to say that we are, in a UK context, in the midst of a period of creativity and excellence. Consider the 2018 nominations for BAFTA's TV Craft Awards for comedy writing. Brother and sister team Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper were nominated for BBC Three's This Country. Paul Coleman, Peter Kay and Sian Gibson were recognised for Peter Kay's Car Share whilst making up the foursome were Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney for Catastrophe and Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith for the astoundingly inventive Inside No. 9 . These are four works of art produced at the same time which, in my view, transcend the boundaries by which we define comedy.
Inside No9, for example, is notable for the tightness and economy of its writing. These perfectly self-contained dramas are concerned with the comic and the tragic and are Shakespearian in the sense that they appreciate the two elements are not mutually exclusive.
The "live" Hallowe'en special was a stunning exercise in pushing back the limits of television. A genuinely thrilling experience that dallied with its audience perception of reality. This was true art unafraid of playing with form and expectation.
It's very important that comedy programmes such as Inside No 9 get the critical acclaim that they do. As theatre director and academic Louise Peacock has pointed out, comedy has traditionally fallen into the territory of popular culture and has therefore been considered less worthy of appreciation or examination.
Those days are fortunately long gone and these are very fertile times.
