Gordmans raises money for Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Gordmans will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for the purchase of each reuseable shopping bag featuring supportive sayings such as strongHER and #ipinkican.
HOUSTON, Texas – Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States, which is why Gordmans, as part of the Stage community of stores, is renewing its pledge to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Gordmans is asking everyone to take an active role to help advance the world's most promising research again this year by donating to BCRF, the company announced. Gordmans will donate $1 for the first 10,000 guests who use the hashtag #ipinkican on Gordmans' Facebook or Instagram pages.
Gordmans guests also will have an opportunity to purchase specially designed reuseable shopping bags featuring supportive sayings such as strongHER and #ipinkican. Gordmans will donate $2 for the purchase of each of these bags to BCRF.
Additionally, guests are encouraged to make a monetary pledge to the cause at checkout in their local Gordmans store or online at gordmans.com, and 100 percent of the donation will be made to BCRF.
With the help and generosity of guests, the Stage community of stores has raised more than $700,000 for BCRF since 2014 and more than $1 million since 2004. These donations have fueled nearly 24,000 hours of breast cancer research and, during 2018, the company raised enough money to fund a full year of research under a grant named The Stage Community Counts Award.
BCRF has selected Powel Brown, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, to receive the 2019 Stage Community Counts Award. Brown's area of focus is triple negative breast cancer, a particularly aggressive type of breast cancer, which makes up 10-15 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses. The funding helps find better treatments for triple negative breast cancer and prevent its spread.
"Stage is making a tangible impact in saving lives by partnering with BCRF, the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the country," said Myra Biblowit, CEO and president of BCRF. "Their support allows us to propel research forward, faster."
"We are proud to support BCRF and the critical research that it sponsors in the search for a cure," Michael Glazer, president and CEO of Stage, said. "Breast cancer is a disease that has touched all of us, our communities and our guests in some way. We invite Gordmans guests to join us in funding another Research HERo to help end breast cancer."
"The Stage Community Counts Award has a significant role in advancing our efforts to find novel treatments to reduce the incidence of invasive breast cancer," Brown said. "My colleagues at MD Anderson and I are incredibly grateful to Stage and BCRF for supporting innovative research aimed at making a difference for breast cancer patients and their families around the world."
Individuals can visit gordmans.com to find a store or to donate online. Gordmans is located at 2290 Michigan St. in Sidney.

OMG my sister had these, total flash back moment.
Ha this sure did bring back memories! I never had one myself but I remember them being popular. Rugby shirts were so in then!
Rugby shirts!!! I had a lot of them.
Maui & Sons, T&C Surf, the whole 9. Tattered bleached jeanshorts and all.
My middle son needed all the names. Saved his money in order to have them.
My sister had this shirt! And we both wore 'Colors.' How freaking cute is this blog! Instant follower. Love the profile pic.
I especially remember the Benetton magazine and TV ads.
Thank you for visiting my blog. It is very nice to meet you!!
I was never so cool. But I did have an alligator shirt. Come to think of it, it may've been a fake alligator shirt.
That benetton shirt is pretty darn cool, though.
My sister used to love those shirts!
I did! The blue and white one. Which was even cooler because it was a "soccer shirt" from my aunt's Italian ex-boyfriend.
Benetton had the most annoying ads ever.
Benetton was really hip back in the day. If you had one you were "wealthy" and really cool to be with. Which is probably why my Reeboks and target t-shirts never worked out for me.
We were a backwoods community...we were lucky to have clothes. Nobody had this shirt.
You know - I remember when these were cool... but I don't know anyone who had them. I saw them all the time. They were nice looking and certainly were a sign of the times.
Glad to hear that you had one and enjoyed it so much!

Q: How many ways are there to arrange the letters of word ALGEBRA such that only the relative order of the vowels does not change??? I have to arrange the word ALGEBRA but vowels must maintain their original relative order. So I thought we have 3 spaces if we put vowels like A_ _ E _ _ A (I know there are 3! ways to arrange those) but how do I approach the problem about consonants?
Could someone help me?

A: Imagine Alice, Elizabeth, and Anne standing in that order.  Now send Larry to join them.  He can fit in any of $4$ positions.  Next send George, who can fit in any of $5$ positions, then Bruce, who'll have $6$ choices of where to fit, and finally Roscoe, who'll have $7$ choices.  The total number of orderings is thus
$$4\cdot5\cdot6\cdot7=840$$
It doesn't really matter in what order you send the guys; the first guy will have $4$ choices, the next guy $5$, and so on.

A: Presumably preserving "the relative order of the vowels" means that their actual positions can change.
The vowel locations can be chosen in $\binom 73 = 35$ ways (see binomial coefficients).
The consonants can be arranged in $4!=24$ ways.
For total options, these are independent choices - the consonant ordering does not affect the vowel locations or vice versa - so multiply together: $35\cdot 24 = 840$

A: Method 1:  We place the consonants first.
Since ALGEBRA has seven letters, we have seven positions to fill.  If we place the B, G, L, and R in that order, we have seven choices where to place the B, six choices where to place the G, five choices where to place the L, and four choices where to place the R.  Once the consonants have been placed, there is only one way to arrange the vowels in the remaining positions so that the E appears between the two A's.  Hence, there are
$$7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4$$
ways of arranging the letters of the word ALGEBRA so that the relative positions of the vowels are preserved.
Method 2:  We place the vowels first.
We choose three of the seven positions for the three vowels.  There is only one way to place the vowels in these positions that preserves their relative order.  This leaves four positions.  We can arrange the four consonants in these positions in $4!$ ways.  Hence, the number of ways of arranging the letters of the word ALGEBRA that preserves the relative order of the vowels is
$$\binom{7}{3} \cdot 4!$$
Note that this is essentially a rephrasing of @Joffan's solution.
Method 3:  We use symmetry.
First, we count the total number of distinguishable arrangements of the letters of the word ALGEBRA.  We choose two of the seven positions for the A's.  Once the A's have been placed, we can arrange the remaining five distinct letters in the remaining five positions in $5!$ ways.  Hence, the number of distinguishable arrangements of the letters of the word ALGEBRA is
$$\binom{7}{2} \cdot 5!$$
By symmetry, in one third of these arrangements does the E appear somewhere between the two A's.  Hence, the number of arrangements of the word ALGEBRA in which the relative order of the vowels is preserved is
$$\frac{1}{3} \binom{7}{2} \cdot 5! = 840$$

A: Another method is through distribution of the letters, then permuting it.
You know that it must look in this form; _A_E_A_, and you have to distribute the remaining 4 letters into any 4 "boxes". We first assume the letters are indistinguishable. By the distribution method, we have ${4+4-1 \choose 4}={7 \choose 4}$. After distributing the letters, we now start to permute the letters $(L, G, B, R) = 4!$.
Hence, the answer is ${7\choose4}.4!$, which is the same as the answers above. Personally, I like to use to distribution method, it really helps for many of the questions I've seen so far!

A recovery in TV contributed to a buoyant Telefónica's strong third quarter performance that saw overall revenue growth of 4% and organic OIBDA growth of 2.8%.
Telefónica's overall pay TV subscriber base grew by 101,000 during the quarter, reversing earlier losses to end flat year-on-year at 8.4 million.
Video revenues grew by 6.8% to €742 million, accounting for over half of all digital services revenue for the quarter, although the rate of growth was far outpaced by cloud and machine-to-machine sales.
IPTV grew to account for 40% of the total video revenue pie, up four percentage points on the previous quarter. ARPU also grew significantly, particularly in Spain and Colombia. The company's satellite TV base declined by 9% due to losses in Spain and Brazil.
In Spain, Movistar added 100,000 pay TV customers in the quarter, double the number added in the three months to June, which the company said was boosted by its new Fusión bundles, introduced in July. Movistar also launched two new options in July – the €60 Fusión Series offering and Fusión #0 for €45 that were designed to integrate its TV service into its convergent bundle.
The Movistar Fusión offering increased its base by 2% year-on-year, reaching 85% penetration in broadband and TV customers, and 78% in contract mobile customers. Movistar had 3.767 million pay TV customers at the end of September, up by 1.5% year-on-year after reversing losses suffered in the second half of 2016.
In Brazil Telefónica added 28,000 IPTV customers in the quarter, contributing to 54% year-on-year growth in its IPTV base, while in Spanish-speaking America, fixed-line pay TV additions for the quarter numbered 28,000, with the base growing by 2% year-on-year.
Telefónica posted overall revenues of €12.75 billion for the quarter and organic OIBDA of €4 billion. Net profit for the first nine months grew by 9.6% to €2.4 billion.
"Third quarter results reflected the solid execution of the main strategic priorities set for the year. Thus, our organic growth is consistent and sustainable, highlighting the improvement in revenue growth trends and the increased OIBDA, despite the negative impact of the new regulation in Europe. Additionally, transformation remained key and the focus on digitalisation amongst the Company's different operating areas has contributed to increase our differentiation and become more efficient, and will enable us to pave a new way to interact with our customers through cognitive intelligence while improving resource allocation. Finally, we continued strengthening our balance sheet position with a clear advance in de-leveraging the Company thanks to growing cash-flow generation," said José María Álvarez-Pallete, chairman and CEO.

Tornado damages Civil War landmark
Todd G. Higdon
Darren Clark saw something Saturday night he will never forget.
"I was home at the time I saw the funnel," Clark said. "It was coming down Mill Street. It happed at 6:22 p.m. on Saturday, because I looked at my watch."
The quiet town of Newtonia, population of a little more than 200, was devastated by a tornado Saturday, one day before Mother's Day.
"This is the sixth (tornado) in seven years — we have been lucky so far," Clark said.
Shortly after the storm hit, residents were assessing damage. Nearly every street in Newtonia had downed power lines, trees, roofs and other debris. Adding to the frustration, access to the town was blocked.
"No one's hurt that we know of. We walked around town," said Clark, who lives at 855 Mill St. "This is the worst tornado that we have had. We have had about 12 trees (uprooted) in the last eight years. We are thankful that everyone is OK."
Clark's next door neighbor, Donnie Mitchell, stood outside of his front door looking at the clouds, trying to see if another storm was going to hit Newtonia.
"Do you see my car? It was sitting straight, and (the tornado) moved it sideways," Mitchell said. "It blew the garage door in. Look at my shop — it blew out the whole back wall."
Anita Oxendine, her mother, Colleen, and other family members were not at home at the time.
"We were at my nephew's wedding in Neosho," Anita Oxendine said. "I heard the sirens go off in Neosho. My son's friend called and told us that the roof was off of our house (in Newtonia), so we came home."
When they arrived, a huge tree was down on a part of their house at 145 Mize St. The tree went down on the north side of their house, on the garage.
"Luckily, there was no one at home," Colleen Oxendine said. "It is going to be hard to replace our only home, but at least the material things can be replaced. Human lives can't."
Moving up to the east end of town, Tammy Bachelor also heard the tornado.
"My ears were popping," Bachelor said. "I grabbed my dog and headed for the nearest quiet place that I could find — I hid in the closet with my dog.
"As far as the whole structure of the house, I got lucky," said Bachelor, who has lived in the house for 12 years. "Structure wise, it is still standing. This the second (tornado) that my house has withstood, I don't want another one."
Other damage included cars with trees on them, broken windshields and broken windows.
A part of Newtonia's Civil War history was damaged – the two-story Ritchey Mansion, located in the center of town on Mill Street. The mansion, which was used as a headquarters and a working hospital during the 1862 and 1864 battles, suffered damage to the roof, including a sizeable hole in the west part.
Late Thursday, President George Bush signed into law Public Law 110-229. That law authorizes a study by the National Park Service to determine the feasibility of either creating a new Civil War battlefield at Newtonia or bringing those battlefield lands under the management of the Wilson's Creek National Battlefield near Springfield.
Emergency crews and firefighters – from as far away as Pierce City – came to help the residents of Newtonia. Power in the town was off, and crews were working to clear the roads and other debris. As for the residents, the crews notified them to leave their homes, seeking shelter at the emergency shelters or with family members who had power.
Newtonia and Stark City have no warning sirens such as those in Neosho. Clark said he would definitely like to see something done about it.
"I think that they need to do something about a warning system out here," he said.
Neosho Daily News


The author of Hebrews writes, "By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this He condemned the world and became an heir of righteousness that comes by faith" (Hebrews 11:7). Noah was given an incredible task. As God's preacher to the world, even though he became the object of ridicule and persecution, Noah held fast to the Word and promise of God.
The church proclaims a similar message today. Because we believe that this world will end and our Lord Jesus Christ "will come again to judge the living and the dead," the world scoffs at and is hostile to what we preach. As we hold fast to the Word of God, let us consider how "we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses (Heb. 12:1)," especially Noah, our father in the faith.

TYR Members Slam Jon Schaffer: "Sounds Like He Doesn't Really Believe in What He Was Trying to Do"

Robert Pasbani
On a recent episode of their podcast, Týrcast, Tyr members Heri Joensen (vocals), Tadeusz Rieckmann (drums), and Gunnar H. Thomsen (bass) talked about the recent controversy with Iced Earth/Demons & Wizards guitarist Jon Schaffer being. arrested after his participation in the riots at the Capitol building.
The conversation began with the band revealing that they toured with Schaffer, in support for Demoms & Wizards in 2019 and Henri said the headliners treating him well. Henri noted that he only spoke for about five minutes with Schaffer three or four times and that Schaffer seemed nice enough and "very American."
The conversation shifted to what Dee Snider said a few weeks back, calling Schaffer an embarrassment to the metal scene and basically calling him a snitch. Henri said of Snider's comments: "I wanted to let it go and not talk about it and not get into politics on this podcast too much, but this was very interesting, especially when Dee Snider, a couple of days ago, tweeted about this. First, there were pictures and videos of the insurrection where Jon Schaffer is clearly visible, so he was wanted by the FBI after this event, and he turned himself in. And he was given some charges, [and] he could face decades in prison for it. But apparently he made a deal with prosecutors so that for cooperation and obviously turning other people in, he will get a more lenient sentence. Dee Snider, the singer of Twisted Sister, did not react kindly to that. He called him 'a piece of shit, embarrassment to the metal community,' he said. 'If you do the crime, then do the time.'"
Drummer Tadeusz Rieckmann agreed with Snider saying: "I have to agree with Dee Snider here. I mean, seriously, if you're really stupid enough to break into the building of the American government and try a revolution, and after that, you're not even facing or standing up to what you were convinced of doing is right or is true or is your purpose, then, I mean, come on — that's call snitching."
Henri retorted "Sounds like he doesn't really believe in what he was trying to do. If he thinks the entire government needs to be overthrown, he wouldn't try and make a deal with them to turn other people in as well. It seems very half-baked and half-hearted to me. Decades in a U.S. prison is no holiday; it's no picnic. Especially at our age, your entire future is gone.
"But anyway, it's a pretty serious crime and attempt to overthrow the entire government. And how you can then try and cooperate with them for leniency from the very system you were trying to overthrow."
Bassist Gunnar H. Thomsen chimed in: "It all seems so harsh. It kind of brings me back to some of the troubles we've been through. Instead of going a political way of showing people your point of view, what you think is right, they come and do stuff like this, which is somewhat childish in a way."
Tadeusz retorted "It's actually radical. And that is the biggest problem here, I think."
Henri concluded "But there's also something childish about it. It's like when you're losing a game of chess and you just wipe everything off the table. We have a functioning system here. You may not like it, but there are ways of interacting with it if that's what you want to. There are also ways you absolutely shouldn't. If whatever they were trying to do was successful, there's, I think, a one hundred percent chance that things would be worse and not better.
"The American system probably isn't perfect — I don't think any system is — but treating it like this is almost certainly gonna make it worse, if they were successful."
Schaffer pled guilty to two charges (he was originally charged with six). The charges include obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress, and trespassing on restricted grounds of the Capitol while armed with a deadly or dangerous weapon.
CNN reported that prosecutors and Schaffer's defense agreed to recommend between 3.5 and 4.5 years of sentencing in prison, based on his cooperation. The decision is ultimately up to federal Judge Amit Mehta. New York Times reports that Schaffer requested and was granted Witness Protection Program sponsorship.
Schaffer's bail is under the following conditions:
He must submit to court supervision in Indiana.
He must surrender his passport and international traveling documents
He must stay out of Washington D.C., outside of court hearings and attorney meetings
He will be permitted to travel within the US with notice to pretrial services
He cannot possess any firearms or explosive devices, even legally. Firearms must be removed from his home.
A report from the Washington Post notes that in Schaffer's plea agreement he admitted to being a "founding" lifetime member of the Oath Keepers, but they note that Schaffer is "the first defendant to potentially flip in the sprawling domestic terrorism investigation that has led to charges against more than 400 people."
According to the plea agreement "Schaffer admitted to being among the first individuals to push past the damaged doors and into the Capitol building, forcing officers to retreat. Schaffer and others advanced toward five or six backpedaling USCP officers while members of the mob swelled inside of the Capitol and overwhelmed the officers. The officers ultimately deployed a chemical irritant to disperse the mob. Schaffer was among the people who were sprayed in the face, after which exited while holding his own bear spray in his hands."

In part two of our three part series to help law students get ready for their law internships, we share ideas for law students to make the most of their summers even if they didn't get the big law offer they hoped for. Read more for great ideas and input from the Associate Dean of Students at the University of District Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law and two practitioners. Read Part 1, 5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Summer Associate Program & Land a Job Offer. Stay tuned for our next article on the subject on February 22, 2017!
The summers between your law school years are an ideal time to develop your emerging skills as a legal writer, advocate, and practitioner in a law internship. During a law internship, you're likely to improve them when you get daily, focused attention from experienced lawyers. Those months also are an opportunity to dive deep into an area of interest you only touched on in law school or to study overseas. You've just learned, however, that you didn't land that highly coveted summer associate position you really, really wanted. While your classmates may be at top-tier firms and enjoying plush dinners, sporting events, and concerts, you'll be toiling at a far less prestigious practice. You might even be (gasp) living at home and working for a local attorney.
Didn't get that big law internship? Three ideas to make the most of your summer. Read it here via @SpecialCounsel: http://spclcn.sl/2leAngB
Here's a little secret: You can still make the most of your summer even if you didn't receive an offer from your law firm of choice. There is still an opportunity to develop those important job skills that will help you secure employment after law school in an area of law you're most interested in.
3 Ideas to Make the Most of Your Summer Break During Law School
Head Overseas
"For most people, [summer] is the last time they can easily spend a concentrated time in a foreign country," said Annamaria Steward, Associate Dean of Students at the University of District Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law and president of the D.C. Bar. Dean Steward recommends studying abroad to hone your language skills in classes taught by a country's high-level lawyers and judges.
Enrolling in an overseas summer program with reciprocity lets students earn credits for their courses abroad. They can later take a lighter course load, a helpful way to boost grades, Steward said. With fewer courses demanding their attention, law students may be able to add a law firm internship in the fall and spring, when there's less competition for slots.
Choose a Small or Solo Law Firm
Jennifer Kain Kilgore had no competition for her summer law internship. She spent two summers under the tutelage of a solo practitioner who was the friend of a friend of her mother. Early on, the attorney tore apart a memo Kilgore had painstakingly composed in a class at the New England School of Law | Boston ("I was crushed," she said) and then showed her how to write a compelling brief. She also learned to use effective body language, interview clients, and gain confidence handling meetings.
"I got more experience than my classmates did at large firms," said Kilgore, an attorney editor for Enjuris.com, a personal injury website. "I distinctly remember feeling like I had an advantage."
Following your own interests during the summers paves the way for a meaningful legal career, she said. "You get to create a niche for yourself, and by doing that, you can stand out from the competition."
Follow Your Interests
Irnande Altema spent one summer interning at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the next at the HIV Law Project in New York City. In Washington, she drafted memos about ethical issues involving gifts to government workers and employment contracts and observed a general counsel in action. Learning to navigate a maze of government agencies and how to find and arrange information are valuable skills she uses regularly in her job as chief of staff for Sen. Kathy Klausmeier (D-Md.).
Altema, who holds a master's degree in biomedical science and advocacy, spent the next summer helping HIV-positive clients with housing and benefits and immigration matters. She appeared in court, spoke with opposing counsel, and sharpened her negotiation skills.
A Hofstra University School of Law graduate, she didn't choose her summer internships to pad her resume with impressive credentials. Instead, she chose opportunities that let her explore areas of interest and use her legal knowledge. Her best advice for deciding how to spend those summers while in law school? "Pick the jobs you're passionate about," she said.
While there are no guarantees, keeping these tips in mind as a law student can help you land a job offer at the firm or corporate legal department of your choice post law school. Contact us today to request more information about how we can help you with both temporary and permanent opportunities in the legal field.

Kicking off at 7pm, the young Whites currently sit top of the northern section on goal difference having lost just one of their past 13 matches.
Having won ten of those matches along the way, David Lee's side will be looking to return to winning ways following Friday's draw with Nottingham Forest.
With Wednesday's meeting against Burnley Bolton's game-in-hand, the Trotters will be confident of extending their lead at the top of the able against a side they beat 4-1 back in November.
Meanwhile, visitors Nottingham Forest currently lie bottom of the table having lost their last four matches, including a 5-0 defeat to Birmingham City in their last outing.
Bolton Wanderers' Under-23s fortified their position at the summit of the Professional Development League (North) after a second-half strike from trialist Chinedu Obasi defeated neighbours Burnley at Macron Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The Nigerian had only been on the field for a matter of minutes as his adept finish proved to be too clinical for visiting keeper Conor Mitchell.
The win puts David Lee's men on 38 points – three ahead of Sheffield Wednesday with both teams having played 21 games.
Wanderers had the better of the first half with wing back Joe Muscatt forcing saves out of Mitchell, who was by far and away the busier of the two keepers.
Jan Kirchhoff, who was also on trial, headed straight into the arms of Mitchell after latching onto Jon Flanagan's free-kick after Jack Earing was fouled.
Liam Morris then hit a full blooded shot from distance with his left peg which prompted Mitchell into diving at full stretch to keep the industrious midfielder out.
The hosts were cranking up the pressure and Harry Charsley flashed just wide moments later.
Morris went close again with another strike from distance before Jake Turner, in the Wanderers goal, was called into action to collect Jamie Thomas' well-struck free-kick.
Connor Hall, whose customary diligence was a constant thorn in the Burnley side, had the Clarets' defence on their toes just before the break when he thundered into the penalty box only to place the ball narrowly wide.
Not long after the break, Hall had a looping header cleared off the line by Frank Jones.
Chances were few and far between but the game turned when Obasi, who had earlier replaced Kirchhoff, expertly placed his strike beyond Mitchell to give the hosts a deserved victory.

THE SECOND QUESTION by Diana Der-HovanessianPosted by Timothy Green

THE SECOND QUESTION
by Diana Der-Hovanessian, 2007
The Sheep Meadow Press
Riverdale-on-Hudson, NY 10471
105 pp., $13.95
www.sheepmeadowpress.com
In this book by Diana Der-Hovanessian, a poet of Armenian descent, the Second Question of the title poem is "How did you escape/ death," which follows the First Question "where in Turkish Armenia/ were your people from." The poem explains how the children of the women who had asked the second question now only ask the first. However, Der-Hovanessian will not allow the second question to be discarded. In this collection, she demonstrates—shows rather than tells—how death was and continues to be escaped. As one means to this end, Der-Hovanessian, a prolific translator of Armenian poetry, engages in dialogue with international poets. In a poem entitled "1915", she writes: "The Israeli poet says/ even Satan has not invented a revenge/ for the death/ of a child…" She then poses the question: "And when there/ are not enough/ names for sorrow/ how can there be/ a revenge that/ will not cause more?"
This is a volume of difficult questions—questions posed by someone outside, an exile, a "foreign associate" who, for example in the poem, "For Luda Laughing", snaps at Luda's husband who has asked Luda to get him a drink of water: "Why don't you get it yourself?" Asking bold questions is one way Der-Hovanessian insists on life and change; another is through humor. A sense of humor, often dry and ironic, streams through these poems like sunlight, illuminating, in its own fashion, how death is escaped. From pointing out how Emily Dickenson's bread won first prize, while her poetry went unnoticed in her lifetime ("Emily Baking") to "Seven Warnings in Search of an Armenian Feminist", including the lines: "Beware the man who over-praises your cooking./ He's going to invite his friends over," Der-Hovanessian shines her laughing light on dark corners.

Marta Górnicka's Hymn to Love. Photo: Magda Hueckel.
In the Summer of 2017 as a result of coproduction between Berlin, Poznań, and Warsaw, the Gorki Theater in Berlin presented three notable Polish performances: Hymn to Love by Marta Górnicka, Klątwa by Stanisław Wyspiański, directed by Oliver Frljić, and The Two Moonthieves by Krzysztof Minkowski.
Here, I discuss Hymn to Love, the newest performance of Chór Kobiet, the acclaimed ensemble created and led by Marta Górnicka, that encapsulates the issues the festival organizers highlight in their statement. Even though Chór Kobiet (in literal translation "A Choir of Women") was initially composed solely of women of various professions and age groups who worked with Górnicka on performances in their spare time, today the group comprises both women and men representing a very broad spectrum of society.
What strikes the audience from the very beginning in Hymn to Love is the stress on the difference and diversity manifested by the composition of the choir members: we see tall and short, younger and older people, adults and children, different races, and even people with disabilities. Thus, the chorus represents a real slice of the European (if not world) community. This expansion in the human composition of the performers signals the accompanying expansion in the scope of Górnicka's social and political interventions into the larger society.
As the earlier performances of Górnicka such as Choir of Women, Magnificat, Requiemmachine, Mother Courage, and Poland – in Lord's Name, Hymn to Love addresses the most vital, painful, and often suppressed issues of our time such as oppressive political practices, abusive male-female relationships, the dominance of certain institutions such as the Catholic Church in Poland, the exploitation of women, and the growth of intolerance and hate. One of the most prominent issues the group targets is the ascending nationalism and the growing resentment towards multi-culturalism manifested by an unfavorable, even hateful, attitude towards the influx of refugees in Europe and other parts of the world. At the beginning of the performance we hear excerpts from a sickening statement by the Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik demanding that we " honor [him] for [his] seventy-seven victims" since, "actions like [his] save hundreds of thousands of people who would otherwise meet their demise in a future civil war." But the way this declaration is proclaimed by the members of Górnicka's ensemble leaves no doubt that Hymn to Love is an extremely bitter and powerful outcry against the hypocrisy of nationalistic politics and indifference to violations of basic human rights.
The performance is composed of meticulously orchestrated sounds and words uttered with concentrated energy that often transforms the words into incomprehensible hisses, shrieks, bellows, and whispers. Every movement and gesture of the actors and actresses serves to amplify the sonorous quality of the verbal expression. The text of the performance consists of melodies and scraps of text from both traditional and contemporary popular culture. The performers chant and shout, often almost spitting out the slogans that in the recent years have contaminated the newspapers, television, billboards, and other public media in Poland: "Let the Poles be born" ("Niech Polacy się rodza"), "Our country, our Poland" ("Nasz Kraj! Nasza Polska!"), scream the actors. At times the words from the stage such as "Guest home, God at home" ("Gość w dom Bóg w dom!") recall Polish traditions of hospitality, friendliness, and openness towards other people, but when clashing with purely nationalistic, xenophobic statements, and contorted facial expressions of the choir members, they sound bitter and sarcastic. Polish patriotism turns sour when the chants incessantly recall the painful history of Poland, demanding constant sacrifice and readiness to fight for the country's independence and freedom. In the context of Poland's twenty-eighth year after the fall of communism and the fifteenth anniversary of successful membership in the European Union, these slogans commiserating with Poland's troubled history truly sound cynical and paradoxical. They highlight the language of the current Polish conservative government's vitriolic propaganda against almost all achievements of the post-communist era in the sphere of LBGT rights, religious freedoms, and multiculturalism that represented the aspirations of the progressive, open segments of post-communist Polish society.
Such words as "NARÓD" ("NATION") or "POLSKA" endlessly repeated and "churned out" by the performers become worn out and mangled, thus undergoing a process of degradation and depletion of meaning simulating the current Polish media practices. The gestures and movements of the performers, through the constant juxtaposition of facial expressions and body movement, amplify the parodic, denunciatory power of words. It always amazes me how much Gornicka's actors can express with such meager means—they perform on an empty stage, with no costumes, no make-up, no special effects. In this performance only a few scattered teddy bears created an additional element on the usually empty stage. The performers do not use any studied or meticulously exercised body movements. And yet, with only rudimentary facial expressions, basic gestures, rhythm, and exquisitely tight and measured voice quality, they reach the heights of expression and thrill their audiences. At one point we hear something like a sweet, soothing church hymn calling for peace. The actors smile warmly and then in an instant their mouths stretch into sneers and forcefully eject one word "CONVERT." Vigorous movements of the actors' arms and whole bodies amplify the coercive, pestering nature of this command: "CONVERT," "CONVERT," bellow the mouths from the stage, "CONVERT," "CONVERT," roar contorted faces and bodies.
Górnicka already strongly accentuated her and the Choir's anti-Church attitude in her Polska – Oto Słowo Pańskie ("Poland – In Lord's Name") performance that foregrounded the secondary and mostly instrumental position of women in Polish culture strongly enforced by Church teachings. Similar overtones permeated Hymn to Love, but here the emphasis was on the Church's intermingling with recent Jarosław Kaczyński's conservative government and Church-orchestrated politics. In the performance, we recognize Polish traditional patriotic songs such as "March Polonia" deformed and mangled by the quiet, but incessant tunes reminiscent of church hymns and Christmas carols. And, more importantly, very well-known tunes from the Communist era sometimes seep into the musical background of the performance, thus connecting the present political practices to the well-known communist ways.
But what dominates in the performance is the strong rejection and accusation of the anti-refugee propaganda incessantly publicized in Poland and reverberating all over in Europe—the reference to Breivik is only one example and the performance subversively quotes Osama Bin Laden and other Islamic leaders. The repetition of all sorts of nationalistic, anti-refugee slogans such as "Our country, our Poland" sounded especially ominous in Berlin, a city scarred with its painful Nazi past. And the Berlin audience responded to all these infamous references sometimes with moments of deep silence, sometimes with relief—that time for Germany was over and now Germany is the most refugee-friendly country in Europe. But the ghost of Nazism in an eerie way brought to prominence the foreboding overtones saturating the propaganda language in Poland today.
Throughout the performance the actors on stage march, group and regroup, sneer, and yell, and Górnicka, like a music director from the pulpit, while standing amidst the audience, triggers all these powerful moves and bellows, bringing to the fore complex subtexts and references, creating a rich, emotionally charged performance. Through the masterful orchestration of emotion, irony and paradox, using powerful, but basic movement and sound, she produces an unforgettable sonorous tapestry of our current love-less reality.

Walt Bogdanich and Glenn Silber have written a gripping article in the New York Times about the suspicious circumstances of Michelle O'Connell's death, in September 2010. It was published on the front page and, on the web, given special treatment with audio, video and graphics. It remains however a complex article, sometimes hard to follow due to the number of protagonist, their complex relationships and changing positions. I counted 39 people referred to by name, and a host more of people mentioned only by title.
Hours after reading it, the article was still on my mind and I started imagining a visual organization that would clarify who falls on which side, and show two points made in the article: the people who favor the suicide explanation are mostly colleagues of Jeremy Banks, and there have been a lot of questionable methods employed in this case. So I made the following cheat sheets, a companion piece to the article to help the reader make sense of it.
I also produced a visual timeline because it seemed that the timing of certain events might matter. I used the text from the original New York Times article, a timeline put together by the local paper, the St. Augustine Record, and that of the sheriff's office. I decided to link beginnings and endings to help clarify the intricacies of the different procedures started successively or concurrently.

Skipping "Preroll" Commercials on YouTube Can Have Dire Consequences!
Everyone hits the skip ad button, right? Whether you're Joe Consumer, or an entrepreneur, manager, advertiser, etc. We're all primed to hit that button the minute the 5-second countdown is finished.
While the message is delivered in a rather humorous way, I wonder what the future holds for these ads. From what I've managed to learn about YouTube's billing process, they don't charge advertisers for ads that are skipped, but these professional ads must cost a fortune to make.
If 94% or more of these ads are skipped, how much conceivable revenue's being generated by these annoying ads?

This Christmas break was so beautiful and amazing. Everyday there was either a family get together or an event we had to attend. It kept us busy but also it was such a joyful season that it was full of love and happiness.
I kept in touch with an old friend from High School who was visiting for the Christmas and we got to catch up over Brunch. It was truly a magical season, I tell you !
Old years night we got together with a few friends and went to Dinner & after P and myself went by my sister to 'ring in the New Year'.
As the new year rolled in, I turned a new leaf. I started to eat Vegan again - and I don't know what it was but I have no desire to 'cheat'... literally, it's like an overnight change.
I took that first week in January and just focused a little more on my goals. It started off doing good deeds everywhere I went. From helping the homeless to a lady trying to reach an item on the top shelf in the grocery store. Just walked with a smile and a helping hand.
I know something big is going to happen this year... positive greatness and my brother keeps pushing me to go to another Life in the Spirit Seminar. So... I finally made it to one that began last week. I am looking forward to the next 8 weeks of my life & getting closer to God.
Ohhh, so last week I *finally* made it back to the gym !! Hooray !! Taking it slow and easy but so nice to see familiar faces again. This rounds I decided I will take full advantage of my membership so why not join the Zumba class!
So let's just say my first day at Zumba I had a ball ! Talk about uncoordinated & silly but by the 2nd to last song I was revved up and ready to dance ! haha I feel so great as now I am part of their Zumba family. It's so nice to be a part of something. I really missed that.
I took a little on & off break from blogging because I really didn't know where I wanted to stand anymore. With the blog, with life, with photography, with a potential job, with making almond milk, with doing something creative.... you get the point. I just want to do everything, but that isn't possible.
Have you started anything new this year that you'd like to share?
Any resolutions you are working on?

Place, publisher, year, edition, pagesUppsala: Företagsekonomiska institutionen , 2004. The primary argument in this thesis is that rankings are arenas for boundary-work and the structuration of fields, and for the ongoing struggle to define and distribute symbolic capital in fields. In the estimation of structural equation models we found that published college rankings have a significant impact on future peer assessments independent of changes in organizational quality and performance and even of prior peer assessments of reputation. The result of these processes is also, however, a preservation of status and the principles whereby status is formed in the field, primarily through the work of habitus. There are other innovative approaches to managing rankings pressures beyond conforming, by seeking differentiation strategies. These variables cannot be changed rapidly.
The study employed the qualitative methodology through the in-depth interviews. At the same time, the nature and degree of change depends on whether university is driven by a market-based or state-based logic of accountability. Among others are abundance of resources, quality academicians, quality students and good governance. The topics covered include: The China Model, Future Prospects for China , China and the Global Economy, Trade and the Chinese Economy, Macroeconomics and Finance, Urbanisation, Industry and Markets, Agriculture and Rural Development, Land, Infrastructure and Environment, Population and Labour, Dimensions of Wellbeing and Inequality, Health and Education, Gender Equity, Regional Divergence in China, and China's Provinces: Selected Perspectives.

Using a case study of law schools, we explain why rankings have permeated law schools so extensively and why these organizations have been unable to buffer these institutional pressures. This is followed by a review of the main outcomes of previous research. Many organizations do not even have a set of global leadership competencies. It is based on a research conducted using a qualitative method involving in-depth interviews of selected participants who have the experiences in the field of leadership in a selected university.

The E-mail message field is required. Linda Wedlin s excellent research is presented with a no-nonsense approach if there is anything worth counting, she counts it, and then interprets it, no fuss. Transforming the nation from middle to higher income will require leaders who are robust enough to face diverse and complex environment. In the first part of the paper we focus on which measures are relevant in the rankings result: We take 10 years of rankings results, and for each year and each of the 20 variables we ask: Which business schools are in the top 20% in X variable and how many are top 20% in the global ranking? This article demonstrates the value of Foucault's conception of discipline for understanding organizational responses to rankings. Academy of Management Learning and Education 7 1 : 26- 41.
The implications for research on diversity and for policymaking are discussed. The book contains plenty to interest the growing army of business school employees whose duties, at least in part, are concerned with boosting their institution s position in the rankings. I discuss the implications of these findings for understanding rankings and for institutional theories of fields. A conceptual framework focusing on institutional positioning is explained using the dimensions deliberateness of organizational actions versus environmental influence, on the one hand, and differentiation versus compliance, on the other.

The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded and analyzed according to themes. Ranking Business Schools provides a welcome analysis of this development and its implications for the field of management education, theorising the role of classifications such as rankings in forming and structuring organizational fields. Following rankings pressures measures is particularly problematic for schools striving for top ratings, for non-accredited institutions, and for smaller, more teaching-oriented institutions who play what amounts to an unwinnable game because of the stability of rankings over time. There are various factors that will enable our universities to become internationally reputable universities. The template and the positions are used to create a stable sense of identity among business schools, and contribute to shaping field boundaries in terms of who is inside an elite group, and about which activities are considered legitimate for business schools.
Based on the findings of the study, one of the key factors of transforming our universities into reputable universities is leadership. Our model features multiple dimensions and relations reflecting how higher education institutions locate themselves in specific niches, i. Some of our premier universities did poorly in the ranking.

Arenas for forming identities, fields and boundaries. Education and Training In times when the management education field is increasingly impacted by a proliferation of ranking exercises, this book is a timely and welcome contribution. Magazines and newspapers are really interested in their sales potential but have to make pretensions about their veracity. Ranking Business Schools provides a welcome analysis of this development and its implications for the field of management education, theorising the role of classifications such as rankings in forming and structuring organizational fields.
Barbara Czarniawska, Göteborg University, Sweden This engaging book offers a fresh perspective on the burgeoning field of European management education and its intense concern with rankings. This study builds on text material, interviews, and a mail survey to European business school deans. In addition to specifying the key role that the manipulation of information by outsiders plays in the development of reputation, this approach suggests the importance of the interrelationships among these mediators in the determination of reputational standing. It also discusses deficiencies in use of terminology and research methods used in earlier studies giving suggestions for further research. They are the loci of boundary-work , whereby a field is progressively evolving and constituting itself. Members' tendency to internalize these pressures, to become self-disciplining, is also salient.

The Department of Health and Human Services' information security program is "not effective," according to the latest Federal Information Systems Modernization Act audit conducted by the agency's Office of Inspector General.
The OIG's report, released in April, identified deficiencies in implementing a departmentwide continuous diagnostics and mitigation program and noted that "there is no definitive schedule to fully implement the CDM program across all [operating divisions]." The agency concurred with the assessment and the recommendations included in the report.
Separately, HHS earned a D grade in the FISMA category of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act scorecard released by the House Oversight and Reform Committee in December 2021.
Additionally, a Government Accountability Office audit released in June urged the agency to establish a feedback mechanism to improve the effectiveness of its process for reporting data breaches. HHS concurred with the recommendation, which follows a significant increase in the number of data breaches involving unsecured protected health information at HHS. The agency has experienced year-over-year increases in data breaches affecting 500 or more individuals since 2015, with the total number of individuals affected each year rising as high as 113 million.
According to GAO's audit, hacking and IT incidents have accounted for approximately 55% of the 3,200 breaches at the agency from 2015 to 2021. Unauthorized access and disclosure, theft, loss and improper disposal accounted for the rest of the breaches, according to the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
"Without a clear mechanism to provide feedback to OCR, covered entities and business associates can face challenges during the breach reporting process," auditors wrote. "Further, soliciting feedback on the breach reporting process could help OCR improve aspects of the process."
In another report released in June, the HHS OIG found that the largest operating division at HHS — the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) — did not fully comply with a binding operational directive issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that requires executive branch agencies to patch and mitigate critical vulnerabilities.
Auditors said CMS failed to mitigate two vulnerabilities reported by CISA within the directive's 30-day time frame and did not apply security patches to all previously known vulnerabilities. Additionally, CMS did not have the necessary logs to establish that the remediation activity took place, according to the OIG.

THANK GOD IT'S STILL FANTASIA: PART 2
By Admin	| August 10, 2005
Took some time off from the fest and went to see our own Chris Gore who was in Montreal promoting his new film. "My Big Fat Independent Movie" at the Just For Laughs Festival.
We talked mostly about movies, the town, and women. Chris gave me the best advice about clothes I've ever gotten: "Always wear a shirt one size too small. It makes you look bigger and acts as a man corset." You da man Chris! Hope you like that local beer I gave you.
This was one of the biggest film geek days of the festival. "Jason and The Argonauts" played with Ray Harryhausen in attendance. The place was literally packed, and it was nice to see that a lot of people brought their kids. Fantasia isn't G-rated most of the time so it was cool that they included something for families.
Watching the film again surprised me. It's a lot faster paced than I remember and the effects look a lot less dated than I thought they would. Sure, you can tell this is "old" but at the same time it's a lot more realistic than some CGI drenched films today. It's really amazing what Harryhausen accomplished with little money in what was arguably the late stone age of special effects. Hell, it wasn't until "Jurassic Park" that we began to be able to top his work without using animatronics. Filmwise, the story of Jason's quest has always touched a nerve with viewers. You can see the influences of this film in everything from "Gladiator" to "Conan."
Before the showing I got to meet Christopher Hyatt (AKA Dawgzilla67 from the Back Talk board) and afterwards we hung out. Chris wrote and directed "Eye of Cruelty" which will be shown on the last day of the fest. He was one cool mofo and we jabbered about movies for a few hours. It was his first time in Montreal and I was pleased that he seemed to like it.
Last day. Went to see "A Wicked Tale" and "Eye of Cruelty" with Christopher Hyatt, Rob Olmstead and Chris Maag ("Eye"'s Director, Producer and Actor respectively). Both films played to a full house and got a pretty good response from the audience considering how surreal and experimental they were; "Eye" much more so than "Wicked." After Hyatt's movie played we all went to a nearby bar and hung out there for a little while enjoying the free drinks and talking movies. Once the drinks had run out though we went to see the last film of the festival. "Night Watch."
You heard it here first people. If any film is going to break that whole "fear of subtitles" thing with English speaking audiences, it's this one. You can't help but like this movie. It's low budget, yes, but its scope is so damn huge and it's so fearless in treading forth where lesser films dare not thread that at worst you'll respect the hell out of it.
It's a modern day Tolkien-ish fantasy about how the forces of darkness and light have come to an uneasy truce; each one watching what the other does and trying to get the upper hand. Anton Gorodetsky is a member of the Night Watch, a group of seers and magicians who police from dusk to dawn, making sure Vampires and Witches don't break the rules of the truce. During an assignment where he has to save a young boy from being the victim of vampires, Anton discovers a plot by the leader of the forces of darkness to bring about the end times and tilt the balance in favor of perpetual night.
With a budget of 4.2 million dollars, director Timur Bekmanbetov has managed to make a movie that rivals "The Matrix" in the effects department. It's not wall-to-wall CGI like the Keanu Reeves film, but the effects we see are damn good; everything from a woman transforming into a tiger, to an evil magician tossing a truck in the air like a toy, to a plane crashing down over Moscow. It'll make you rethink the possibilities of low budget cinema, to be sure.
So that was it. The end. When the film's credits rolled, it got a standing ovation and me, Chris, Rob and Chris filed out into the lobby where we met up with Mitch and the rest of the Fantasia people to hang out.
As we walked out to go to yet another watering hole, we saw… THE SINGING HOBO…
Holy s**t.
Man, this was like something out of "After Hours" by Martin Scorsese. It was fitting that the festival end this way, really it was. Here's what happened. We're all walking down the street and there's a homeless guy with a guitar begging for spare change. He sees us, sees our Fantasia stuff and starts singing "Fantasia! It'll amaze yah… nah-nah-nah!!!" I'm no musician, but I've written a couple of tunes in my day and I know the sound of a spur of the moment made up song when I hear one. Still, it was cute and a couple of people gave him a buck. Fast forward down to a bar a few streets away and where we're all relaxing, talking about how awesome "Night Watch" was. The singing hobo thing had occurred a few hours earlier and we'd all pretty much forgotten it, except…
"Fantasia! It'll amaze yah! NAH-NAH-NAH-NAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
We all turn around and the m**********r followed us! He's right THERE on the sidewalk.
Okay, now it's getting creepy, but a few guys gave him money so he'd go away and he did, finally!
A few more hours pass and it's closing time. I got the chance to speak with Harry Cleven and tell him how I enjoyed his film and its nuances, which was cool; and chat a bit with Mitch Davis, one of the international programming directors for the festival and a hella nice guy. He's the one who got me to re-evaluate David Lynch's "Lost Highway", and damn if he's not right about it being better than I remembered. I also talked to King Wei-Chu (associate programmer and Shaw Brothers aficionado) about inviting Nora Miao to host a restored print of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury", which must have been a childhood fantasy come true for him.
So it's all over, the bar people are kicking us out, but it's okay since we're all pretty much tired and ready to knock off for the night. Me, Chris, Chris and Rob are walking back to our cars too exhausted to say much and just enjoying each other's company in that way you do with people you really connect with.
Jesus Jumping S**t… My redneck, country bumpkin, backwoods, not-used-to-the-city a*s was thissss close from going Speedy Gonzales on everyone and just bolting while I screamed, "IT'S EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF!!!!" But I remembered that I was supposed to be a guy or something and I stuck with my pals. Eventually our troubadour went away, but not before we got all paranoid and started casing the lot where we'd parked our cars to make sure he wouldn't pop like an a*****e jack-in-the-box SINGING THAT STUPID F*****G SONG. I tell you, when I got home, I was looking under the freakin' porch.
In closing, special thanks to Mitch Davis, King Wei-Chu, Mi-Jeong Lee, Pierre Corbeil and Marc Lamothe for another amazing festival. See you all next year! Oh, and my sincere apologies to Joe Coleman for missing his show, Retinal Stigmatics. I would have gone but I had been so overworked from my day job that I was almost narcoleptic a week after the festival started. By way of apology let me mention here that I heard nothing but good things about it and that my own personal opinion of Joe is that he's one of the last true damaged psycho rebel artists; a man who can imprint his own pain on canvas like light on film negative.

An original naming form must be completed and returned (in order) to Horse Racing Ireland along with the passport and the correct fee.
What is the deadline for naming each week?
If the naming form is received (in order) by Friday close of business it should to be named in the following week's calendar unless foreign bred.
How long does it take to name a horse?
- Irish & GB bred animals are named in the following weeks calendar.
- Foreign bred animals (USA, GER, FR etc) can take 3-4 weeks or more to name.
Horse is already named abroad (UK, France etc); must I still name him here?
Yes, any horse named outside of Ireland must be named within the Irish jurisdiction. The cost and time of this may vary depending on where the animal was bred. If the markings, including the colour of the horse, have changed a new set of markings must be completed in full on the back of the naming form.
What is the markings declaration?
This is the section on the naming form (bottom left hand corner) where the trainer/vet can confirm that the markings and microchip number on the passport match the markings and microchip number of the horse being named. If left unsigned a new set of markings must be completed on the back of the form.
Who can sign the markings declaration?
Only a licensed trainer can sign it or alternatively a vet can sign and stamp (with the practice stamp) the declaration. A point to point handler cannot sign the declaration.
When do I need to complete a set of markings on the naming form?
How many characters are allowed in a name?
18 characters (not including the suffix) are allowed including spaces.
How can I check name availability before applying?
By calling the Registrations Dept (045 455424) an 80% provisional check can be carried out.
Can a horse's name be changed?
The horse's name can only be changed if the animal has not raced either on the racetrack or in the point to point sphere. A new naming form must be completed and returned along with the passport and a fee of €400 (costs more if bred outside of Ireland/UK).
Why are certain names turned down?
They are turned down If they are already in use, too similar to other names or if they are insulting, obscene or liable cause to confusion. Also any trade/brand names, copyrights or famous person's names will not be allowed.
Can I reserve a name for a horse?
Names can be reserved (at a cost) directly with Weatherbys in the UK. This does not guarantee that the name is available but it does ensure that no one else can use it if it is available.
Why are the export papers or endorsements important on a passport?
When importing a horse from anywhere outside Ireland/GB the passport must be endorsed before the horse leaves the country of origin. On occasions this is overlooked and only discovered at the naming stage. The passport has to be returned to the relevant racing authority requesting that the passport be endorsed. This procedure could take a considerable length of time, delaying your name registration and preventing you from running the horse until the passport is returned (can take up to several months).
The vaccinations are not in order on the passport, can I still name the animal?
Yes, as the vaccinations are not checked when the horse is being named.
How do I know if my vaccinations are up to date?
After the first vaccination, the second vaccination must be administered within 21-92 days. The third vaccination must then be administered within 150-215 days after the second vaccination. The horse can run on the track 7 days after the second vaccination and then get his third vaccination within the stated timeframe.
If I miss a vaccination what can I do?
Missing a vaccination will result in your vet having to start the whole vaccination process again from the start as explained in the previous question.
Can I use a copy of a naming form or get it faxed to me?
No, it has to be the original "green card" naming form.
I have lost the passport and need a replacement, how do I apply for a new one?
A naming form must be completed (including a new set of markings) and returned to HRI along with the fee of €200. An Irish or GB bred animal generally takes a week to have their passport replaced but a foreign bred animal can take considerably longer and at a greater expense as HRI has to apply to the country of origin. A DNA sample may be required.
The microchip scans but the markings are not accurate, what should I do?
The markings are the primary source of identification for the horse. It is essential that the markings on the passport match those with the actual horse even if the microchip scans correctly. If the markings do not match, a new set of markings must be completed on a naming form and returned to Horse Racing Ireland along with the passport.
Can I amend/update the passport myself?
No, the passport can only be updated by Horse Racing Ireland, the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board vets or Weatherbys.
The horse has been gelded, how do I update this on the relevant records?
The trainer must amend the racecard record via the RÁS system. The passport can then be updated at the racecourse by the vet on duty or it can be returned to Horse Racing Ireland.

Tetbury Woolsack Day Content from the guide to life, the universe and everything
Tetbury Woolsack Day
Created Feb 2, 2006 | Updated Feb 2, 2006
Also known as the 'World Championship Woolsack Races', this event takes place every year on the Spring Bank Holiday1 in the town of Tetbury, Gloucestershire, UK. A unique event in the annals of sporting prowess, it has its origins in medieval tradition, though the modern event has been running for just over 30 years.
In the middle ages, Tetbury's wealth, like much of the Cotswolds area it is located in, was based on the wool industry, and it is from this that the tradition is thought to stem. The story runs that the young men of the town used to try and impress the local lasses with their athletic prowess by hefting sacks of wool onto their shoulders and racing each other up Gumstool Hill.
The hill is thought to have got its name from the ducking stool or 'gumstool' used in medieval times to punish 'gummy' or mouthy people. Near the foot of the hill runs a tributary of the Bristol Avon, and a marshy pond was thought to exist. Later it was the site of the town's cattle and sheep market, complete with pens; now the Millennium Green.
The wool industry peaked in the 17th Century; afterwards (by the 19th Century) the lack of a large reliable water supply meant the industrial revolution passed Tetbury by in terms of manufacturing, and the wool industry too became less important due to competition from elsewhere.
These days the town is better known for its excellent cheese shop, butchers, many antique shops, market house (on pillars) and Georgian Gothic-style parish church (home of the Tetbury Music Festival).
Today's event is run up (and down) Gumstool Hill, between two pubs, the Royal Oak (at the bottom), and the Crown Inn (near the top), on a course covering roughly 280 yards (256m). The catch is, as well as carrying an unwieldy 60lb (27.2kg) woolsack across the shoulders, the hill features a 1-in-4 gradient, adding a certain 'spice' to the event.
Individual and team (relay-style) events are held for both men and women, and youth categories, the women and youths having a lighter 35lb (15.8kg) sack to carry, though over exactly the same course. Local teams from the sports clubs or secondary school often compete, though anyone is welcome to register and enter. One year even a team from the The Royal Gurkha Rifles competed (and won).
Best places to watch the event are from the Millennium Green at the bottom, or from Cirencester Road, running parallel to, but above the course. A running commentary over loudspeakers means you can keep up with the event wherever you watch on the course.
The Woolsack Races don't happen in isolation. The town centre is closed off all day for a street fair and entertainment, from morris dances to the 'Norfolk Mountain Rescue', jugglers to marching bands. The town's fire engine is on display for children to explore, and there are loads of stalls selling food, sweets, craft items etc. The focus of the day is raising money for local charities, such as the Tetbury Hospital2, and an auction is held, often featuring amongst the lots items donated by HRH Prince Charles, whose Highgrove House3 residence is located just outside of town.
The races are held annually, and the town is on the A433, roughly 10 miles from Cirencester, 20 miles from Gloucester, and 12 miles from J17 M4 Chippenham.
Bus services connect Tetbury with Stroud, Bath, Cirencester, Malmsbury and Didmarton; the nearest train station is Kemble, which is also served by the Cirencester bus route.
1The last Monday in May, which is also known as Whitsuntide. Not to be confused with Mayday, the first Monday in May.2The Tetbury Hospital is unusual, as it is an independent charity that works with both the NHS and private sector.3Highgrove House is a private house, not usually open to the public. However you can apply for a tour round the gardens.

Houston Texans rookie safety KJ Dillon got stuck with the dinner bill on Sunday following his team's comeback win against the Jaguars, and the price he had to pay was astounding.
In since-deleted tweets, Dillon posted a photo of the check, which rounded out to a cool $16,255 — tip not included.
A closer look reveals seven orders of sea bass with lobster ($350), $105 worth of filet mignon, one Caesar salad ($12.95), and, most incredibly of all, $7,700 worth of Hennessy Paradis Imperial (evidently a more expensive bottle).
Some quick math on the Hennessy reveals that each glass (22 in total) came down to $350.
It's not uncommon for rookies to foot the bill at a large team dinner, of course. But Dillon seemed particularly unlucky in this instance because he was the only rookie paying and he is not making a lot of money by NFL standards.
Dillon was a fifth-round draft pick. His four-year, $2.6 million contract included a $235,000 signing bonus and a 2016 salary of $374,000. Dillon is yet to start an NFL game and none of the remaining years on his contract are guaranteed.
Dillon later noted on Twitter that he doesn't even drink. He also said he ordered the Caesar salad.
Now, being a rookie isn't all bad. As Dillon added, some veteran teammates take him out to eat at least once a week and never ask for a "dime."
Being a pro athlete: not terrible!


A recent study released in the British Medical Journal explores the relationship between cancer and ultra-processed foods. Our guest breaks down the nutritional value of foods such as chicken nuggets, and ready-made meals and explains whether these foods significantly raises the risk of cancer or not. We also explore the correlation of alcohol and cancer.


Doors of the car have considerable weight therefore it will be reasonable to secure with the help of the assistant.
2. Remove the panel of an internal upholstery and the film vlagozashchitny screen (see. Section Removal and installation of panels of an internal upholstery of doors). At the corresponding complete set disunite contact sockets and liberate from intermediate clamps electroconducting of the actuation mechanisms located in a doorframe.
Previously it is meaningful to mark disconnected wires.
3. Open a door against the stop and prop up it a jack, or wooden blocks.
In order to avoid damage of LKP lay between a head of a jack and door edge a rags layer.
4. Lead round loopy levels a marker, having marked their situation on a body element. Turn out fixing bolts (address to an illustration above) and by means of the assistant accurately remove door assembly from the car. If the door is subject to replacement only, to remove loops from a rack does not follow.
5. Installation is made upside-down, track combination of the landing labels put in the course of dismantle. In case of need make adjustment.
6. Strongly tighten fixing bolts of loopy levels.
1. Adjustment of provision of a door in the plane of an aperture is carried out by means of shift of loops concerning a body. For this purpose it is necessary to weaken bolts of fastening of loops to a rack.
2. Adjustment of a ledge of a door from a body is carried out by means of door shift concerning loops. For this purpose it is necessary to weaken bolts of fastening of a door to loops.
3. Serviceable operation of the locking mechanism after installation of a door can achieve by correction of position of the drummer of the lock in the vertical direction. For an assessment of size of shift lead round a plate of the basis of the drummer a marker. Weaken fixture and make necessary adjustment, the latch should enter into gearing with the central part of the drummer. In summary adjust position of the drummer in the horizontal direction, the closed door should appear aflush with a surface of the rack/panel of a back wing and regularly thus to be locked.
