MEDEA Review - Annette Bening Kicks Off UCLA Live's Eighth International Theatre Festival
By Wayne Bethanis
Annette Bening and Angus Macfadyen
Stark concrete walls and pixie-like Greek chorus girls replaced columns and togas for director Lenka Udovicki's updated World Premiere of Euripides' MEDEA. The stage was a vast expanse of beach sand, vaguely evoking a playground, complete with a giant toy trolley car on a track leading to the drawbridge of Corinth (the trolley would later be the modus operandi of MEDEA'S apocryphal slain children played with a sweet innocence by brothers Logan and Jacob Karlan ). The great city itself was represented by towering concrete walls, which revealed only an electricity pole peaking atop the center.
As I walked into UCLA's Frued Theatre, having to pass through a picket line of theatre crew protestors handing out flyers about a labor dispute, I knew I was in for some high drama.
Archetypal experiences happen to us every second. These underlying realities of our lives are the same ones that folks in ancient Greece experienced. My father is Greek, and I have always romanticized a deeper connection to ancient Greek culture through my memories of various nick-nacks that lined the shelves of my grandmother's house in New Jersey. There were vases with Greek warriors locked in combat (and various other postures), worry beads and beautiful hand-embroidered fabrics. My Great Grandfather owned a Greek restaurant in Philadelphia. I enjoy brandishing these facts when people ask about the origin of my last name, Bethanis. So, now that I have proven my unassailable Greekness, let's take a quickie course in archetypes and go Greek for a few minutes.....
The idea of IMAGE (or imago) is so very important in Greek drama. What we feel when we see, hear or otherwise absorb the things that fill up our lives, leads to the awareness of ARCHETYPES. For example, a trip to the zoo may yield many different archetypes: the tiger could be pride, the dappled fawn, innocence. Greek drama is the MOTHERLOAD of archetypes. Mythological characters actually provide this function for us and can be applied to all areas of our lives.
Medea offers her children to Jason
MEDEA is a woman with problems. She lost her boyfriend Jason, father of her two children, to the princess Glauke, daughter of the King of Corinth. So, as far as we can tell, MEDEA is scorn; scorn that's as bold and big-as-you-please. She's smart, too. She's got an entire plan worked out on how to exact vengeance on just about everybody, even if it means killing her own two children (Greek Tragedy takes everything a bit too far, but that's how one gets to be an archetype, officially).
Udovicki uses the 1994 Rapael/McLeish translation of the play, which brings the style of speech to a more human level. Instead of using high rage and deep pain in highly structured verse, the actors are supported by lines that allow breathability to the action and occasional moments of humor. The play was easy to follow and yet still retained the archetypal depth, which is the soul of Greek drama.
Annette Bening is Medea
Annette Bening stirs up the sandbox as MEDEA . Bening was intense, postured and utterly believable. Her movement on the stage was exacting. There was a wonderful, subtle conflict between her body and voice. The large-scale, controlled sweeping motion of her arms (indicating deeper archetypal ideas) was simultaneously contrasted by her intimate vocal delivery of powerful monologues. Interestingly, her close-cropped hairstyle added a visual strength not often associated with MEDEA; generally seen with wild curly tresses evoking a serious path-to-revenge quality. Bening's MEDEA was organic: we knew she was a mother, that she was smarter than the men, and that she'd reached the tipping point with betrayel.
Jason, performed by Angus Macfadyen, played well off of Bening's calculations. He brought a quality of hybrid to the role: an unexpected maturity that belied the youthful golden fleece retriever, and goodly man making the best of it not knowing he's out-smarted. Occasionally traces of Macfadyen's Scottish accent came through. Also I was vaguely reminded of a good-ole-boy persona as somehow reinvented through Mythological cross-breeding (think actor Jack Black as a Greek hero trying to resolve his mess between two women). MacFadyen was fierce at times, and this created a strength and breadth to his otherwise solid performance.
Medea is scorn
The set design was generally startling upon first sight. Utilitarian images presented a lonely dioramic view of the unconscious: power was high and elusive (the electricity pole atop and behind the city walls), exclusion was pervasive (the entire stage was desolate, barren sand, with one gate to the kingdom available only for corpses) and the mind's eye, or witness was a traveling swarm of elfin chorus girls echoing the drama in song. Yet the tone was very intimate, with the Persian music-makers at far stage left and sand that, when stirred by the actors, created clouds reaching beyond the stage. The Corinthian Woman/Old Chrone expertly played by Mary Lou Rosato ushered in the play with house lights still on, and brought the audience up to speed on what went down between MEDEA and Jason before the action began.
My wheedles would be: certain sound effects were a bit too rough and distracting, and I could not hear many of the words spoken by the chorus. And I do have one fanciful suggestion: consider the deeper juxtaposition of gender archetypes by having the chorus consist of young men, instead of young women; I was thinking of how interesting that dynamic would be as MEDEA murders her two boys; this, in the face of the very fiercely female perspective of this production.
Medea and the Chorus
A fun evening would be to have dinner with friends and discuss archetypal forces at play in your life right now. What's your latest desire? What's challenging you? Who's bothering you? Then go see MEDEA. Look for all the images that may reflect where you're at these days. Look deeper into yourself when you take in a play or a concert and try to observe what emotional current is traveling through you as you absorb it all. This, I assure, is exactly why these impossibly beautiful Greek tragedies have stayed with us for 25 centuries. These plays are a tool for us to check in with our deepest soul, as well as have a cool night out on the town. Fabulous!
MEDEA is running at UCLA Live's Freud Playhouse Sept. 18-Oct. 18. Tickets for all performances of MEDEA are on sale at www.uclalive.org or at the UCLA Central Ticket Office (310-825-2101).

PROJECT SAVE
Singing the Praises of Project Save
Project Save was founded in Gloucester Township in 2014 as an effort to provide counseling and treatment options to defendants with substance related issues resulting in offenses, and to address underlying issues leading to municipal court offenses.
By Peter H. Lederman | February 11, 2020 at 10:30 AM
December 1, 2019 marked the date that sentencing provisions for most DWI offenses changed. These changes eliminated the penalty of drivers' license suspension in favor of Interlock installation for most first and second DWI offenses.
This major change in approach was based upon a statement of public policy enunciated by the Legislature reflecting its attitude toward what public policy should be for reducing recidivism after DWI convictions. It first pointed out that interlock devices were not required for some first offenders, with Blood Alcohol Concentrations under .15%BAC. As to these offenders, the Legislature found that, since "a majority of drunk drivers, including first offenders, often continue to drive with suspended licenses, ignition interlock devices are more effective in deterring drunk drivers than license suspension." After referring to some statistics in further findings, the Legislature summed up its argument for IID's by stating in its final finding that, "Therefore, it is fitting and proper to require all first time offenders, to install an ignition interlock device."
It's hard for me to understand this explanation. Were the DWI sentencing provisions fundamentally changed simply for these reasons? I don't believe that major revision of our entire statutory scheme of DWI sentencing was simply based upon the Legislature's concern for what a small portion of DWI offenders, that is first offenders with Blood Alcohol Contents of under .15%BAC, did during for the most part, their three or at most seven months of suspension. Remember that the law as it stood before the change required interlock installation for every offense other than the least serious offense. In return for this change, there are effectively, no suspensions of driving privileges for most first offenders where alcohol was consumed.
Regardless of why this legislation was adopted, it misses the mark if its goal was truly to improve safety in motor vehicle operation. Mistakes from substance misuse can be understandable, sometimes not. Bad judgment, social pressure, lack of self-esteem, anxiety, poor pain management, addiction to meds, and depression can result in showing just how fragile life is. Obviously, one size does not fit all when it comes to addressing these problems. Some however, think differently when it comes to motor vehicle operation. For those who seek simple solutions to solve difficult problems, the new "wonder drug" is the Ignition Interlock Device or IID. These devices would do what suspensions could not. If the car won't start, then it cannot be operated, and the problem is solved.
To find the best solution to any problem, you need to start with the right question. If the question is how to prevent prior offenders from operating vehicles without an unsafe level of alcohol in their bodies, then interlock devices might be an effective short term tool. But the substance abuse problems are not addressed and not resolved.
The same issues leading to the poor operation in the first place will be repeated, after the interlock device has been removed. The IID furthermore, only detects alcohol on the breath, not marijuana or other drugs which can adversely affect vehicle operation. This is not a solution then, as the interlock device is incapable of changing the driver behavior after the interlock device is removed.
To me, it seems that the real issue is how to keep drivers convicted of DWI sober longer. Other States have adopted legislation which serious addresses this issue. Understanding that alcohol and other types of substance misuse involving vehicle operation requires more than a quick fix, these States have implemented programs which allow probation before judgment, rewarding extended counseling and good behavior with driving privileges and ultimate expungement for first offenders.
Other types of technology are also available that address the substance problem, not just the operation. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration recently studied the effect of Alcohol Monitoring Systems which are worn and provide ongoing data as to substance use. They found these devices to be effective in preventing recidivism.
Truth be known, like most other things in life, there are very few quick fixes. Usually sleeves have to be rolled up, elbow grease needs to be applied along with a large dose of patience. When it comes to addressing substance issues, even larger doses of hard work are required, which leads to a program which is working with defendants' substance issues after they are charged with offenses that are heard in Municipal Courts. One program that has taken on this challenge is Project Save.
Project Save was founded in Gloucester Township in 2014 as an effort by the Gloucester Police Department and Genesis Counseling Center, Inc. to provide counseling and treatment options to defendants with substance related issues resulting in offenses and to address underlying issues leading to Municipal court offenses. A program representative in court engages people who could benefit from their services. The program will then, "facilitate partnerships involving not only the police department, but most importantly, the Municipal Court Judge, Municipal Prosecutor and the Municipal Court Administrator" to enable defendants the best opportunity to address and resolve substance problems. The hope is to make a difference on an individual by individual basis, with an ultimate goal of creating a Drug Court for Municipal Courts.
Substance problems are difficult and challenging. Quick fixes only work for a short time. We have to do the hard work that this problem demands. Project Save has the right idea. We need more programs that help people change lives when it comes to substance use.

In Memoriam - January 2020
These dedicated individuals touched the lives of countless youth in New England and beyond through their passion for excellent camping experiences. Our thoughts are we with their families, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
Theresa Phinney, 1925-2019. We are sad to report that long-time ACA New England Executive Director, Theresa 'Terry' Phinney, died on December 22, 2019, surrounded by her family.
Terry was hired by ACA New England as the Office Secretary in 1966. As her duties expanded, she became the Executive Director and for 10 years, she administered Title XX Federal funds for camperships. She particularly enjoyed hearing the story about how under her management, the ACA New England checkbook balance grew from $56 to more than $200,000 and that the section was able to purchase the office building in Waltham, MA.
Terry was honored by ACA New England and ACA in November 1987. The new wing of the ACA Bradford Woods office was named in her honor as the 'Terry Phinney Wing' for which New England members donated $150,000. Terry was honored by many people at the dedication and she spoke of how much the day meant to her in front of colleagues, friends and family.
Over her 25 years, Terry eagerly helped many day, resident, private and not-for-profit camp folks. She also mentored numerous ACA "Section" Executives who kept the organization vital and relevant. Terry retired form ACA New England in 1990 and will forever be a legend in our industry and our hearts.
Annabelle Cohen of Dedham, formerly of Chestnut Hill, MA and Manchester, NH, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 25, 2019. Beloved wife of the late Arnold J. Cohen, whom she was married to for 66 years.
She was past president of Temple Adath Yeshuran (Manchester, NH), founder of the Derryfield School, Director and officer of the Cohen Camps, served on numerous Jewish community and public service agency boards, and committees at Newbridge on the Charles.

Hayden Marshall-Inman was among those killed Monday, December 9, 2019 when the volcano erupted on White Island in New Zealand.
Hayden spent more than a decade of his summers as a camp employee at YMCA Camp of Maine as one of the dozens of foreign counselors recruited each year.
Camp CEO Jeff Gleason said Marshall-Inman was on staff there each season the camp was open from 2004 to 2015, often serving as waterfront director. "We have 600 plus campers every summer so that times ten is 6,000 people," Gleason said. "I've gone to the grocery store and post office in town and people remember him."

You're staying home from work?
On my boss – that big jerk.
While the weather's so nice.
To tell those little lies.
Mommy, Gram's on the phone.
Just like I did before?
Shhh, Honey! Not so loud!
You don't want her to hear.
To stretch the truth, my dear.
So hard to hide his face?
A world that's filled with truth and trust.

As global bodies gather in Marseilles to discuss water supplies, Sarah Morrison reports on the waste that will create a thirsty world by 2050.
The world is wasting water on a truly colossal scale, according to the United Nations. More than 80 per cent of the used water on Earth is neither collected nor treated – the equivalent to the planet leaving the taps full on and the plugs out.
This and other equally worrying realities will be presented this week to around 35,000 people from 180 countries at the World Water Forum, a gathering held every three years, which will hear the most disturbing reports yet on the state of the world's rivers, lakes and aquifers.
Demand for water is expected to increase by 55 per cent over the next four decades, according to a new study to be presented at the forum in France. Framing the Water Reform Challenge, from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), points out that rapid urbanisation, climate change and the altering global economy are putting growing pressures on water supplies. In around 40 years' time, more than 40 per cent of the world's population – 3.9 billion people – are likely to be living in river areas in the grip of severe "water-stress". The UN warns this could also be felt in parts of Europe, affecting up to 44 million people by 2070.
Anthony Cox, head of a water programme run by the OECD, said the world is experiencing a water "crisis." He added: "More people in cities now don't have access to water than back in 1980. In developing countries, especially, there is a tremendous economic and human cost to this." Since 1900, more than 11 million people have died because of drought, according to the UN, and more than 2 billion have been affected by it – more than any other physical hazard.
The OECD is calling for "urgent reform" of water management and suggests using economic instruments, such as taxation, tariffs and transfers, to encourage greater "water efficiency".
Mr Unver is lead author of a UN report published tomorrow which warns that unprecedented growth in demand for water is threatening global development goals and will exacerbate inequality between countries, sectors and regions. Managing Water under Uncertainty and Risk shows that, while 86 per cent of the population in developing regions are expected to have improved access to safe drinking water by 2015, there are still nearly 1 billion people without such access and, in cities, the numbers are growing.
His warning backs up analysis by the Royal Academy of Engineering, which found that Britain and other developed countries depend heavily on importing hidden or "virtual" water from places prone to droughts and shortages. In a 2010 report, the academy estimated that two-thirds of all water that Britain needs comes embedded in imported food, industrial products and clothes such as cotton. In 2008, a study published by the conservation group WWF found that about 60 per cent of Britain's water footprint is felt outside the UK.
But the need is not expected to lessen. Increasingly, underground water sources have been tapped to respond to growing demand and, under what the UN report called a "silent revolution", this process has tripled over the past 50 years. Transnational land acquisition, where countries acquire land outside their jurisdiction to get access to water, has risen from 20m hectares in 2009 to more than 70m today.
To illustrate the political, technical and financial solutions to the world's water problems, a 400 square metre Village of Solutions will be built inside the Water Forum this year, housing a school, library, town hall, factory and bank. Different funding mechanisms and technologies will be explained.

With the start of the Ryder Cup less than two weeks away, how better to get in the mood than a putting competition?
Tottenham quartet Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Christian Eriksen and Ben Davies took to the greens with Sky Sports to see who could hold their nerve and sink the all-important putts.
With the absence of any Americans, it was Team England – Kane and Dier – against Team Europe – Eriksen and Davies – and there was plenty of joking and gamesmanship between the pairs.
All four Tottenham players will be on a more familiar surface this Saturday when they host Liverpool live on Sky Sports.
The Reds are the current Premier League leaders, having won four games from four, while Spurs will be looking to bounce back from defeat at Watford in their last match.
"It's a massive game," says Kane. "They have had a great start to the season winning all their games and we are coming off the back of a defeat which we want to put right.
Tottenham thrashed Liverpool 4-1 at Wembley last season before drawing 2-2 at Anfield in February.
Hit play on the video at the top of the page to see how Kane and Dier fared against Eriksen and Davies on the greens.


Cllr Julian McGrath pictured with John Blair MLA.
A Universal Credit information evening is due to take place on November 22 at Mossley Mill.
The event, which has been organised by Alliance representative, Cllr Julian McGrath, will be in the Spinning Room, Mossley Mill from 7pm until 8.30pm.
It will be delivered by benefit experts from Advice NI.
South Antrim Alliance MLA John Blair will also be in attendance.
This event will provide an opportunity to get vital information about changes to the system and how they will affect families in Newtownabbey.
Speaking about the event, Cllr McGrath said: "A number of concerned residents have been in touch with me about these benefit changes.
"It is clear that there are a lot of people worried by the situation. I would encourage anyone with concerns about their benefits to come along and have their questions answered.
John Blair MLA echoed these sentiments by saying: "The introduction of Universal Credit is the biggest change to the benefits system in several decades.
This meeting will be the first of several Universal Credit information evenings held in the Antrim and Newtownabbey area.
The details will be announced once they are confirmed.


The Prestigious Indo French workshop under the banner of Indo French Center, which is created jointly by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt of India and Ministry of External and Culture Affairs, Govt. of France concluded today after brain storming sessions during last three days.
During the three day workshop, various noted and eminent scientists spoke on the topics of Nuclear Physics. The prominent speakers included Prof. Joerg Aichelin from Nantes, France, Prof. Christoph Hartnack from France, Prof. Leifels from Germany, Prof. Bratkovskaya from Germany, Prof. Lopez from France, Prof. Napolitani from France.
Prof. Rajeev Puri, Chief coordinator of the workshop told that the French and German delegates including the Director of Indo French Center had series of meetings with Prof. Raj Kumar, Vice- Chancellor, Panjab University(PU). Apart from Physics, another important part was that both French/ German and Indian delegate stressed need for joint collaborative projects.
Prof. Rajeev Puri, The Indian Chief Coordinator along with Vice Chancellor Prof. Raj Kumar, Prof. Devender Mehta, Dean Sciences and Prof. Aichelin, French Chief Coordinator will initiate platform for French-Indo and German –Indo MOU and also collaborative projects that will benefit students and faculty of Panjab University.
It was further agreed upon to explore the possibility of joint Indo-French Research center at PU which can be a milestone for the faculty and students of the region.
Prof. Leifel who is head of the many giant projects at GSI, Germany, the world largest facility for Nuclear Physics along with Indian Chief Coordinator, Prof. Puri will explore for possibility of MOU with Panjab University so that local faculty and students can also work at GSI. Large number of countries have pumped thousands of crore of rupees in the facility of GSI.
This Indo French workshop, which was first of its kind at Panjab University, has set the ball for large research possibilities with initiatives of Prof. Rajeev Puri from Panjab University and Prof. Aichelin from Nantes, France. It is worth mentioning that Prof Rajeev Puri was the first scientists who was awarded Indo French project worth of Rs. 1 crore in 2012.

Primary And Secondary Future Goals 2.0 | Wycombe Wanderers
For more information about our Future Goals programme click on the links below.
Secondary Future Goals 2.0 Brochure
About Future Goals
Following the successful delivery of our Future Goals project to Secondary Schools during the 2019-20 academic year (pre-Covid-19), we have launched Future Goals 2.0 for Primary and Secondary Schools after having successfully secured funding continuation from Buckinghamshire Council via their Young People Mentoring Grant for another year of delivery.
Future Goals 2.0, focuses on positive engagement with young people who are in years 5 to 10.
The project specifically targets pupils who are disengaged with education, disruptive at school, and who outside of school may be:
· less inclined to complete homework
· are inactive
· have low self-esteem and self-worth
The practical delivery of WWSET's Future Goals 2.0 Project centres around helping those children mentioned above, within the classroom and individually, to overcome their personal issues and challenges, therefore enabling them to flourish as they move forward.
WWSET want every child to have the support they need to unlock their full potential, whatever their background or current situation.
The aim of the Primary Future Goals 2.0 Project is to provide targeted support for local children/young people in school years 5 to 10 who are not fully engaged in their current school setting and are most at risk of making poor decisions.
The Primary Future Goals 2.0 Project will deliver positive and dedicated one-to-one mentoring support alongside group / class activities which will assist participants in six priority areas that can be seen in more detail opposite.
As part of the Future Goals 2.0 Project each targeted participant will receive a 30-minute targeted 1:1 session with a member of WWSET staff each week. Over the course of the project this equates to each pupil receiving 900 minutes targeted 1:1 mentoring, focusing on identifying
agreed areas for personal development, alongside some reading and/or targeted intervention work (as arranged with the class teacher)
Each 1:1 session will need to be carried out in a safe and private space allowing individuals the opportunity to build a positive and productive relationship with their WWSET mentor.
A personal action plan will be drawn up and implemented in order to monitor and track individuals' progress.

Q: How to show item's details in a modal with bootstrap 4 and laravel 9 I'm a beginner in laravel and bootstrap's world and this is maybe very simple... I'm wondering how to show a modal with some information that I have in my sqlite database.
This is my problem: I have a view that shows a list of elements and I'd like to be able to make this behaviour: show a modal with details about a row when clicking on it.
This is the view that I'm using:

@lang('Available lists')

            @lang('Name of the list')
            @lang('Number of students')

        @forelse ($lists as $list)

             {{ $list['title'] }}
             {{ count(explode(",",$list['emails_list'])) }}

        @empty

No tienes listas.

        @endforelse

                <input type=hidden id="id" name=id>

@lang('List details'):

                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>

@lang('List name'):

@lang('Students'):

                <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">@lang('Close')</button>

And I also have this function:

When I click on a row, nothing happens... I've also tried to do it with a button and I managed to show a modal but not the information about the row.
Thank you in advance

У́зи Нарки́с (, ; 6 января 1925, Иерусалим — 17 декабря 1997, там же) — израильский генерал, командовавший Центральным фронтом Армии обороны Израиля во время Шестидневной войны 1967 года.

Юность и начало службы в армии
Родился в Иерусалиме в семье польских иммигрантов. Его первое воспоминание — о пребывании в укрытии во время арабских бунтов 1929 года.

Узи получил образование в Гимназии «Рэхавия» в Иерусалиме и начал военную службу, присоединившись к Пальмаху в возрасте 16 лет.

Впоследствии он участвовал в операциях Хаганы против британских колониальных сил в Палестине. Так, в апреле 1948 Узи Наркис возглавлял нападение на Катамон, при освобождении ключевой стратегической точки — Монастыря Сан-Симон. После вывода британских войск из Палестины и провозглашения независимости Израиля, Наркис был назначен в помощь осажденным в еврейской части Старого города. Подразделению Наркиса удалось проникнуть через Сионские ворота, обеспечивая поставки и эвакуируя раненных из осады. И только после того, как стало ясно, что военное подкрепление не появится, Наркис приказал, чтобы его солдаты отступили из Старого города, занимаемого иорданскими войсками.

Военная карьера

Узи Наркис провел несколько лет во Франции, обучаясь в École de Guerre (Французское военное училище) и, позже, будучи израильским военным атташе, был награждён французским правительством Орденом почётного легиона.

Наркис возвратился в Израиль, чтобы продолжить военную карьеру и в 1965 году стал первым директором Колледжа Национальной обороны Израиля.

Шестидневная война
В июне 1967 года Узи Наркис командовал семью бригадами и участвовал во всех боях с иорданскими вооруженными силами во время Шестидневной войны. Завоевание Старого города изначально не было запланировано. Израильские войска перемещались, чтобы занять ключевые позиции в Восточном Иерусалиме. Наркис беспокоился, что политические деятели не решатся занять Старый город. Но под влиянием приближающегося прекращения огня (после ближайшего заседания ООН), Моше Даян поручил Узи Наркису задание воссоединить Иерусалим, не дожидаясь прекращения огня. Под руководством Наркиса Старый Город был отбит у иорданцев, и Иерусалим повторно объединен под израильским контролем. С точки зрения Наркиса это освобождение закончило кампанию, которую он начал девятнадцатью годами ранее, проигрыш в которой часто беспокоил его.

Дальнейшая карьера
Узи Наркис уволился из Армии обороны Израиля в 1968 году, и долгое время занимал ключевые должности в Еврейском агентстве и Всемирной сионистской организации.

Узи Наркис умер в Иерусалиме 17 декабря 1997 года в возрасте 72 лет.

On July 26, 2018, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) issued a Regulatory Notice requesting comment on a proposal to the NASD Rule 1010 Series (collectively, the "Membership Application Program" rules). The Membership Application Program rules govern how FINRA's Department of Member Regulation (the Department) reviews new membership applications and continuing membership applications (CMAs). An applicant must be able to show its ability to comply with the standards set forth in the Membership Allocation Program rules, and, to ensure that such applicant can comply with the rules, the Department considers an applicant's financial, operational and compliance systems. The proposed rules are aimed to enhance investor protections and eliminate unnecessary burdens on firms. The proposal would simplify a number of provisions or terms, amends or deletes outdated provisions, and streamlines the rules and its processes by eliminating or consolidating duplicative provisions and codifying existing Department practices.
On August 7, 2018, Lexology reported the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations issued a National Exam Program Risk Alert on July 11, 2018.1 The Risk Alert highlights OCIE's observations of compliance issues related to an adviser's duty to seek best execution of client trades under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as well as an adviser's receipt of brokerage and research services (soft dollar arrangements) under section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.2. The Risk Alert builds on, and in some ways advances, the SEC's recent proposed interpretation regarding a standard of conduct for investment advisers (Proposed IA Interpretation)3 in which the SEC set forth its view that the duty to seek best execution is an element of the adviser's duty of care, with the discussion of this duty citing to prior soft dollar interpretive releases under the Exchange Act.4 Similarly echoing the Proposed IA Interpretation, the Risk Alert expresses OCIE's view that the Advisers Act imposes a fiduciary duty on advisers. As such a duty is not explicitly defined in that statute, the Risk Alert cites to the same equitable common law principles and case law and dicta as the Proposed IA Interpretation.


home Zalk Veterinary Medical Library Team Zalk: Meet Reg!
Meet the pets! A look at the team behind Team Zalk!
Name: Reg, which is short for Regulus.
Breed: Felis catus. Domestic Short Hair. I may have some Russian Blue in me because I have very soft thick fur.
How I came to live with my human: She adopted me from one of the labs at the Vet School.
Likes: Playing fetch (it's not just for dogs you know). I bring my toy up to the top of the stairs & my human tries to throw it past me down the stairs. I sometimes like to cheat by moving half way down the stairs. Laying in the garden windows and watching the birds at the birdfeeders. I've tried to catch them, but there's an invisable barrier that keeps me from getting to them. Guarding the top of the stairs & checking everyone out who visits because I'm a very social feline. I'm also a very laid back and curious cat. I have to check everything out that is new & different. Going outside whenever I can escape on my own, but my human always brings me back in when she catches me (although sometimes she will let me go out with her). Sleeping with my human. Eating, I really like to eat. I love being petted and having my belly rubbed sometimes. I like to annoy the other feline which sometime gets me in trouble, but we do play at times. Chewing on the plants, but my human put cages over them so I can't anymore & the others are behind a closed door.
What do I do all day: Whatever I feel like doing which is mostly: Sleep, Eat, Annoy the other cat, Greet my human at the door when she comes home.


The NCAA has been made aware of many financial issues needing to be addressed in Tier III Junior Hockey, and within their own sanctioned D-1 and D-3 programs.
The University of New England was cited for failing to monitor its financial aid process, according to findings by the NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions.
The university awarded financial aid packages during two academic years to student-athletes in a pattern clearly distinguishable from what was provided to all students at the university. Penalties include two years of probation, a suspension for the director of athletics and forfeiture of the financial aid in question.
Among the other penalties listed, the hockey team could also be impacted. Six hockey student-athletes who received aid from the Diversity Scholarship could choose to continue to participate in athletics and receive reduced financial aid, or continue to receive the higher amount and no longer participate in athletics. This sanction was self-imposed by the university.
The NCAA said that from 2008 to 2010, the university gave more Diversity Scholarship money — intended to enhance UNE's cultural and ethnic diversity — to student-athletes than to the rest of the student body. NCAA rules prevent Division III schools from granting athletic scholarships.
The Committee on Infractions noted in its news release and public infractions report that the violations were "unintentional."
According to the NCAA's infractions report, student-athletes comprised 34 percent of the students receiving Diversity Scholarship money in 2008-09. They were awarded 43 percent of the available money.
On average, student-athletes received $2,039 more in that year than students who did not play sports, according to the NCAA.
During the 2009-10 academic year, student-athletes comprised 27 percent of the students receiving scholarships. They were awarded 42 percent of the available funds, according to the report.
In 2009-10, the largest Diversity Scholarship given to an American athlete was $6,000, while the scholarships given to "international athletes" ranged from $12,000 to $20,500, the NCAA said.
The men's basketball coach and the men's hockey coach knew of the Diversity Scholarship and mentioned it when recruiting prospective student-athletes, according to the NCAA report.
Considering this report and its base investigation began to be developed based on 2008 information its fairly clear that although the NCAA takes its time, they will do so because of wanting to be thorough.
A similar investigation appears to be ongoing in Tier III junior hockey with particular scrutiny being applied to certain teams on the eastern coast of the Unite States. Sources within NCAA compliance have informed TJHN that they will continue to take thier time investigating to make sure all facts are uncoverd. Sources also confirmed that if inappropriate financial behaviors are found to have taken place that scholarships will be taken away from players who violated those rules.
The basis of Tier III hockey and the focus of the investigation relies on teams not charging players equally for tuition. Some players have been alleged to have played with no charge at all while others were paying $10,000.00 or more. This violates NCAA rules on receiving anything of value for athletic ability, in effect making those players who participated in such an operation inelligible to play NCAA sports.
Unfortunately, if the investigation reveals those financial problems, the NCAA will not have any recourse on the offending junior teams or their coaches. USA Hockey would be the only governing body that could impose sanctions based on those findings.


Jesus arrival was announced as "good will to all men."
It's good because Jesus opened a way for God to get to men.
But it is also good because he transforms men to bring good will to his fellow man.
The actions of feeding the hungry, satisfying the thirsty, housing the homeless, giving clothes to the poor and caring for the sick are not a way of getting to God. But for those God has found they will become a hallmark of their new relationship.
It is this mark of a follower makes us stand out from the crowd.

A Texas Agency Has Taken Down Web Pages Featuring Assistance For LGBTQ Kids
Texas officials withdrew two online pages that provided aid for LGBTQ youth, including a link to a suicide prevention hotline, in late August after a protest from one of Gov. Greg Abbott's Republican primary contenders.
On Aug. 31, the candidate, Don Huffines, who owns a real estate development company in the Dallas area, stated on Twitter, "It's sad to watch @GregAbbott TX utilize our tax funds to campaign for transgender ideology." This must come to a close."
On the website of the Department of Family and Protective Services, he noted a "gender identity and sexual orientation" homepage.
In a video, Huffines claimed, "They're talking about empowering and promoting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, allied, nonheterosexual activity, and so on." The speaker asks, "I mean, really?" Texas is the name of the state. These aren't the values of the state of Texas. These are not the Republican Party's values. They are, nevertheless, unmistakably Greg Abbott's ideals."
In a separate tweet that same day, Huffines linked to a webpage for Texas Youth Connection, a program run by the DFPS (Department of Family and Protective Services) that included a link to the Trevor Project, a nonprofit LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization, as well as other LGBTQ rights organizations.
"This is the webpage where Greg Abbott TX's political appointees advocate transgender-ism," Huffines commented.
After a few hours, both pages were taken down.
"The website of Texas Youth Connection has been temporarily disabled for a complete examination of its content," reads a note on the page. "This is being done to guarantee that the website's content, resources, and referrals are current."
Links to Texas Youth Helpline and the department's Adult Living Preparation program are included. On the page about sexual orientation and gender identity, an error message has shown.
In an email Tuesday, Patrick Crimmins, the director of communications for the Department of Family and Protective Services, said the investigation into the websites "is still ongoing" and that he couldn't disclose why they were taken down.
Abbott's office has yet to respond to a request for comment.
According to emails received through a public documents request obtained by the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday, agency officials considered removing the gender identity and sexual orientation pages in response to Huffines' tweet.
According to the Chronicle, Marissa Gonzales, the department's public relations director, emailed Crimmins a link to Huffines' video with the subject line "Don Huffines video accuses Gov/DFPS of pushing liberal transgender agenda." "FYI," she said in the body of the email. On Twitter, this is gaining a lot of traction."
Crimmins sent an email to Darrell Azar, the department's director of web and creative services. "Darrell – please know we may need to take that page down, or edit material," he wrote to the Chronicle, according to the Chronicle.
According to Azar, the department's Preparation for Adult Living program, which aids older teens who are placed in foster care by the state, built the webpage. According to the Chronicle, he replied that the information Huffines condemned is "just a few years old," but that the program for an adult living has been posting "content relevant to LGBTQ for as long as I can recall."
Huffines claimed credit for the pages' removal in a tweet on Tuesday.
"Greg Abbott was using government funds to promote transgenderism and the Human Rights Campaign," he wrote. "As a result of our campaign, he came to a standstill."
Many people, including elected officials, spoke out against the removal of the pages in August, but even more people, including advocates, opposed the move in response to the Chronicle's piece.
Former San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro served in the Obama administration as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He called the decision to remove the web pages "disgusting."
"To appease his hardline supporters, Greg Abbott is undermining an LGBTQ youth suicide prevention hotline," he wrote Tuesday.
LGBTQ children are overrepresented in foster care, according to Ricardo Martinez, CEO of the LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Texas, who said in an emailed statement that they "experience genuinely astonishing discrimination and abuse."
"The state is accountable for these children's lives, yet it purposefully withheld a resource from them when they are in need," he said. "To make matters worse, this occurred just at the start of Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month." LGBTQ young adults in foster care are three times more likely to have attempted suicide in the previous year (according to a Trevor Project research brief). This year, we've simply asked that the lives of these children not be politicized."
According to Equality Texas, Texas has considered more than 50 measures this year that target LGBTQ youths, particularly transgender youths.
Despite the fact that campaigners have defeated all of the proposals so far, the Legislature just convened its third special legislative session — the fourth this year — and is contemplating a variety of anti-transgender laws once more.
The bills' tone, according to advocates, has a harmful impact on the mental health of LGBTQ children across the state.
According to data released recently by the Trevor Project, crisis calls from LGBTQ young people in Texas spiked by 150 percent from January to August compared to the same period the previous year.
You may call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) or text HOME to 741741 to reach a qualified counselor at the Distress Text Line if you or someone you know is in crisis. You can also find an index of other support networks at SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources.

All have sacrificed, but one will sacrifice all…
Just when Olivia thought she'd finally have everything she always wanted, she was never closer to losing it all. Haden rocked Olivia's foundation when he professed his love for her, and then turned himself in to the High Court. Although it was for the best, watching him walk out of her life was one of the hardest things she'd ever done.
Liam has always been the angel that holds her heart. But nothing will test the bonds of that love more than when a sick twist of fate brings all their lives crashing back together again.
Bitter enemies in love with the same woman, Liam and Haden must put their differences aside to battle an evil whose reach is far greater than either of them ever imagined. It will take all their strength to protect Olivia from an enemy that's come to claim her and usher in a power-play to overthrow the High Court.
Love, sacrifice, and betrayal… It all comes to a heart-stopping conclusion in Braving the Darkness.

Meet the Dog Team: http://Facebook.com/howlingRK%20
Growing up in mid-Michigan, I didn't know about dogsledding until my aunt and uncle met Joe
Redington. At nine years old, they told me about the Iditarod and I immediately announced to my parents that I would race it someday. My fifth grade speech was that I would be a professional musher in the Iditarod. I dreamed of racing with a team I had raised and trained myself. At the age of fourteen, with the help of Ken and Lori Chezik, I started my very own kennel. When I was nineteen, I developed my own breeding program and many of these same dogs are still with me today. I raced in Michigan until moving by myself to Alaska in the spring of 2012 along with my 25 dogs. I have since gotten married to Jeremy, who loves the dogs and lifestyle as much as I do. Together, we have raised from birth nearly all of the 41 dogs in our kennel. In the summers we guide dogsledding tours on the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, in the winter we also guide and train our race team without the help of handlers. It is a labor of love for us. Through the Lord's strength, the team and I completed our rookie Iditarod in 2018. I am excited to be back on the trail with my "kids" in 2021 and greatly look forward to the southern route again. I thank the Lord for allowing us to be a part of this life-changing race, the wonderful people of the villages we travel through and their land they share with us, and the opportunity to truly "live" and to draw closer to Him while on this amazing journey across Alaska.
God answered a little girl's prayers and I hope our race brings glory to Him!

It's closing time for the Busch Gardens Food and Wine Festival as well.


The English word "worship"; "worth" + "ship" means "to proclaim or display the great value of someone or something." However, the Biblical word we translate most often as "Worship" literally means "to kiss the feet of…" – a far less-than-subtle difference between me speaking highly of someone, & bowing to the ground to kiss their feet when they enter the room. The first doesn't cost me much, but the second: I am humbly throwing my whole self out before another – displaying that they are my everything, and presenting myself to them for their use and service – that everything I am & have is theirs.
That sort of worship is more than songs, & the whole drama that is the Bible is a story about worship – a story of God's gift to us, & our response of offering what we have back to Him.
My friend, Curt Beavers, has come up with a simple, unique way to give a tiny portion of what God has given to us, back, in a way that helps the 'least of these.' Watch the video below to have our interest piqued.

In recent years, the rise of coconut oil as a one-stop-shop for a variety of health and beauty treatments has been at the forefront of the wellness industry. However, recently, the buzz around this alleged cure-all is starting to diminish. And using coconut oil for acne scars is no exception.
Does Coconut Oil Fade Acne Scars?
What About Coconut Oil for Dark Spots on Skin?
The hype began when numerous bloggers and other product reviewers jumped on the coconut oil bandwagon. After announcing the product as a solution for a variety of needs, the popularity of the venerable plant-based oil exploded. Despite many influencers swearing by the miracle product, the evidence shows that it is not all it is cracked up to be.
Most of the reviews and advice are anecdotal. Additionally, no evidence supports if coconut oil is making any difference. Because people experimenting with coconut oil are also likely to be trying out a wide variety of additional products, it is possible that it is the other items that may be making the difference.
One of the many claims made by coconut oil advocates is that coconut oil cam help reduce the appearance of acne scars. However, numerous studies have proven that there is no scientific evidence that coconut oil can fade acne scars. The following two recent studies have refuted the claims made supporting coconut oil and the active ingredient vitamin E in the treatment of scar reduction.
This study looked at a variety of scars in its research as well as if the vitamin E was used as a monotherapy or combination therapy option. Six articles were looked at for the comprehensive study to ensure that a wide variety of studies were included in the data. One of the studies included children and there were three times as many male subjects compared to females.
Two of the six studies actually demonstrated adverse reactions to the use of the topical treatment. After reviewing the results of the six separate studies, the researchers concluded that there is no consistent benefit shown to improve the appearance of scars when using vitamin E as a topical agent.
This study looked at 15 patients who had recently undergone surgery to treat skin disease. The double-blind study gave half of the patients a placebo made with plain Aquaphor while the second half received the Aquaphor mixed with vitamin E. Both the patients and doctors reviewed the appearance of the scars at weeks one, four, and 12. The results showed no conclusive evidence that the mixture containing vitamin E worked better to reduce the scar tissue than the plain Aquaphor.
According to the April 1999 study, the use of vitamin E might actually lead to a deterioration of the skin. 33 percent of the patients who received the Aquaphor mixed with vitamin E developed contact dermatitis. Because of this high amount of occurrence, the experts in the study recommended that people do not use vitamin E as a treatment for scars since the side effects can actually be worse than any possible benefits it may provide the patient.
Although coconut oil can be an effective moisturizer to soothe dry skin because of its vast emollient properties, it is not the best choice to minimize the appearance of dark spots on the skin. Dark spots are caused by a variety of issues, including sun damage and uneven pigmentation. Similar to its effects on treating acne scars, coconut oil does not contain any special ingredients that will help to lighten dark circles and pigmentations. If you are looking for a miracle skin treatment, leave coconut oil off your list.
The regular use of sunscreen has been shown to be effective in protecting the skin from brown or pink discoloration. Additionally, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 may help the scar heal faster by preventing further damage. And at the very worst, you will feel good knowing that you are protecting your skin from harmful UV rays.
It sounds too good to be true, but a simple exfoliation (with AHAs) can do wonders for the appearance of the skin. Alpha hydroxy acids work to aid the skin in desquamation. Desquamation is the natural process in which skin cells are created, sloughed away and replaced. Ultimately helping to reduce signs of aging, put moisture back into the skin, and help to even out the skin tone.
Chemical peels are a popular and relatively effective method of treatment. In short, they work to remove scarred tissue and cells. Once the scarred skin has been removed, healthy cells begin to grow in their place. A glycolic acid peel is known as a superficial chemical peel because it does not penetrate below the outer layers of skin. Because it is not as strong as some of the other chemical peels available, it is most effective at helping to reduce the appearance of minor scarring problems. This simple and inexpensive acid peel can also be effective at lessening the redness that often comes with acne scars.
This ingredient works by limiting the ability of the skin to produce melanin. It is the melanin that gives skin its color and too much of it can lead to excessive brown spots. By interrupting this process, hydroquinone will allow the brown spots and discolorations to fade.
This group of powerful ingredients provides immense value to the skin. Retinoids can help reverse the signs of aging by smoothing wrinkles and firming up skin elasticity. Additionally, tretinoin has shown to significantly decreased the depth of atrophic scars in 94% of the study subjects.
Sometimes all you need is a little good ole vitamin C for all of your skin care ills. Most skin care products use the L-ascorbic acid form of the wonder vitamin. Ascorbic acid helps create a more youthful skin appearance. Furthermore, it helps by reducing the effects of exposure to harmful external elements and stressors.

There will be a time in the near future, regardless of what happens next, where the South Dakota football team, to a man, will not have to make a conscious effort to forget about some of the crazy stuff that took place on the field in 2016.
The week leading into a return contest with North Dakota, which visits the DakotaDome on Saturday, is not going to be one of them. The Coyotes' first-half effort on the road against the eventual Big Sky Conference champions was too impressive on Sept. 23, 2016, the change in momentum in the second half at the Alerus Center was too drastic and the details were too weird.
The Coyotes moved on, teasing their faithful with plenty more dramatic and sometimes maddening circumstances as the season progressed. The Fighting Hawks moved on, too, but also moved up.
But the fact remains the 47-44 double-overtime loss in Grand Forks a year ago, a game the Coyotes led by 20 points in the third quarter, would go on to symbolize a season at USD where getting close – but too often not quite close enough -- would become a defining feature.
And now the team involved in that is on the schedule again, this time at the DakotaDome on Saturday with the No. 10 ranking.
Touching on some of the more vivid details, the Coyotes scored twice in the last three minutes of the second quarter and then scored again on their first series of the second half on a Trevor Bouma 4-yard run that capped a convincing 75-yard drive and gave the visitors a 34-14 lead.
The Hawks answered, but only with a field goal and only after failing to score on their next two series. Going into the fourth quarter, the Coyotes were still up 34-17.
USD would end up punting on four of its last five turns with the football while the Hawks reeled off 17 consecutive points. The tying score came on UND's second interception return for touchdown, this one from 33 yards out on a Deion Harris pick of a Chris Streveler pass with 3:28 to play.
Yes, it went to overtime but as much as the lead was gone, the momentum was further gone.
That day Nielson as much as admitted they'd turned attention to the clock after going up by 20 and it had backfired. He didn't say it in those words, of course.
The Hawks were on the verge of losing their third consecutive game of 2016. Instead they went on to win all eight of their Big Sky games to earn a conference championship, ending their season on a 27-24 second-round playoff loss to Richmond at the Alerus Center.
A year later, one of the themes for the players going into spring practices and again entering August training camp was that there would be an emphasis on preparing themselves in a manner that would give them a greater ability to finish off teams when they have the chance.
There is not a shortage of themes in August, but this one appeared to be in direct response to what originated at the Alerus Center.
USD is no stranger to squandering leads to UND, a program that will again become a conference rival in 2020 with the Hawks joining the Missouri Valley. In 2011, the last time the Coyotes played UND prior to 2016, USD also had a 20-point second-half lead aiming at a share of the Great West Conference title and lost after giving up three touchdowns in a span of a little more than six minutes in the fourth quarter.
What happened that long ago means nothing now, nor will what happened last year amount to too much come kickoff at the DakotaDome.
That is unless it happens again. Reversing rivalry histories is going to have to be part of the deal if the Coyotes are to start getting it done in earnest this year.
The Coyotes did their best to deliver a glimpse of just how different last week with a win over Bowling Green that was devoid of the radical momentum swing that was so much a part of that day 51 weeks ago in Grand Forks.

Jelena is extremely knowledgeable and proficient. In under 1 month my tennis elbow was healed using laser treatment. Best of all was the care and time she spent at every visit with me.
