Men's, women's track participate in Open I Invite, Jackson sets new record
By Jon Pressman '14, Staff Writer
In their first home meet of the 2014 season, the Franklin & Marshall men's and women's track & field teams registered some impressive finishes, including a record-shattering throw in the shot put by Maya Jackson '17.
In just her third collegiate competition, Jackson broke the previous school record of 12.25 meters set by Alyssa Catalano '09 with a winning toss of 12.44 meters.
Though the meet was a non-team scoring event, F&M runners, jumpers, and throwers came out on top in several events.
On the men's side, Evan Friend '16 put on a show in both the 55 and 200-meter dashes for the second week in a row, claiming first place in both events with times of 6.79 and 23.51 seconds, respectively. Brad Krell '16 and Alex Osei '16 took second and fourth, setting personal bests for the season.
In the field, Vincent Acosta '15 threw his way to an all-time personal best for the second week in a row with a distance of 13.73 meters, while Bob McCarron '15 took silver with a throw of 11.85 meters.
The men's 4×400-meter relay consisting of twins Greg '15 and Luk '15 Olenginski, Leo Generali '15, and Krell cruised to an easy first-place finish with a time of three minutes 35.83 seconds.
In the jumps, Teddy Uzamere '16 beat out the competition in the high jump for yet another first-place finish for the Diplomats, leaping five feet seven inches. Nick Fromell '14 took a pair of second-place finishes in the long and triple jump.
Coming off of a long and frigid season of cross-country, Luk Olenginski, captain of the men's Track and Field team, was pleased with the effort of the distance squad.
"It was fun and a good chance to compete at home," Olenginski said.
He noted further that the team is focusing on working hard in preparation for upcoming meets this season, namely the Centennial Conference Championships, which are set to take place the first week in March.
The women's team was highlighted by first-place finishes from Jackson in the shot put, Rebecca Swisher '16 in the pole vault, Samantha Greenberg '14 in the 55-meter hurdles, and Kim Hilfrank '15 in the 1,000 meter-run.
In the mile, it was all blue and white as Mallory Reed '15 led the pack of Dips with a time of five minutes 45 seconds, followed by Caroline Stein '15, Brielle Stander '17, and Jessica Love '15.
Several F&M runners, jumpers, and throwers are sitting in the national rankings and will hope to make the trip to Lincoln, Neb. on March 14 for the Indoor National Championships.
Among the men's national rankings, Fromell currently holds the number 48 spot in the triple jump, with Friend coming in at 63rd in the 200-meter dash.
For the women, Swisher's jump of 3.50 meters from December is good for 10th place, with Morgan Gray '16 rounding out the jumps with a 31st-place rank in the triple jump. Both are holding the top spots in the conference's current rankings, while Jackson's record- breaking throw this weekend puts her at the number-26 slot in the country and second in the Centennial Conference.
Samantha Greenberg '14, captain of the women's team, is happy about the recent wins as well as her teammates' other achievements.
"Sam Walmer is seated really well in hurdles right now and Morgan is first as well as Centennial Conference Athlete of the Week for triple," Greenberg said.
F&M will have the week off before returning to the track, as competition resumes on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Crusader Classic hosted by Susquehanna University.

The Voorhees are Back: Daniel Farrands' Crystal Lake Memories Reissued on Blu-ray
Posted by Joe Yanick | Sep 8, 2015 | Home Video, Slider | 0
In 1972, Sean S. Cunningham was looking for a way to transition out of the softcore porn industry and into Hollywood. Seeing that the market was moving towards horror, he took this as his next logical move. Teaming up with the co-editor on his prior film — an unknown name at the time time but one who, alongside the likes of Cunningham, would change horror forever — Wes Craven, he set out to produce a modern twist on the classic film by Igmar Bergman Virgin Spring. By now, everyone knows this would go on to become the still infamous and controversial The Last House on Left, a film that not only cemeted both figures names in horror history but launched two monstrous careers.
Following Last House, Wes and Sean would go separate ways. Cunningham diverted back to sexploitation with a horror tinge and then found himself working on two consecutive "kids" films, which were modestly sucessful but far from lucrative. For his next film, Cunninham was hoping to reignite the same furor he scored with Last House. He started only with the captivating name, Friday the 13th, and began immediately marketing it as "the most terrifying film ever made" — the "terrifying" story, of course, would have to come later. Eventually, Cunningham was able to finance the film and upon its release it proved to be an immense success. But no one, not even Cunningham himself, would see what that success would lead to.
Cut to: 35 years later. Friday the 13th is not just a sucessful cult franchise, it's a horror institution. Its hard to say that any other film has had as important or lucrative an impact on the horror industry, spawning movies, a television series, comics, clothing, toys, video games. F13 is everywhere, it's become a brand almost as recognizable as Coca-Cola.
But these 35 years have not been all fun and games for Jason Voorhees and his murderess mother. Its been a long road, one guided by numerous creative voices. There have been many highs but also many lows, some almost putting Jason to dead for good. But like the character, the series manages to always return from the grave. This is where Daniel Farrands documentary Crystal Lake Memories comes into the mix. Based on Peter M. Bracke's book of the same name, the documentary tracks the entire torrid history of Friday the 13th; from the original story of a grief-stricken mother to Jason's outer space fiasco, from 3D kills to the Michael Bay-produced reboot. The 2012 film was originally released as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack by 1428 Films but it went out of print in 2014. Thankfully, Image Entertainment and RJL Entertainment saw the demand for another release and responded with a brand new 2-Disc release, which is now available for purchase.
Behind The Scenes of Crystal Lake Memories
The film's promise that it will "be the definitive look at the making of the iconic horror franchise," is hard to argue with. It's, quite frankly, one of the most exhaustive retrospectives on a series that the horror world has ever seen. Farrands is crafty in the way that he develops the film's narrative. The documentary's runtime may scare you away but it shouldn't, because split up into 13 chapters it moves quickly and makes it extremely simple to skip undesirable chapters. What is most admirable about the film however, is that, regardless of the film (or TV show) in question, Farrand's subjects weave fascinating stories from the set. So even the franchise's (let's call them) lesser efforts are still packed with riveting stories and anecdotes. In fact, the most lauded of them all, the dreaded reboot (remake, whatever you'd like to call it), turns out to be one of the more engaging chapters from the film.
In our former review of the set, Lacey Paige called the series "one of the most awe-inspiring horror documentaries ever made, and one that deserves a spot in every Friday the 13th enthusiast's collection." I stand by her sentiment but I will add that its also unassuming. Farrands doesn't attempt to turn the film into a critical reappreciation anymore than he tries to create a simple fluff piece. The film, rather, balances aspects of both. Perhaps, the film could do with a few more interviewees outside of principle cast and crew to help balance the informed but highly subjective stories but organizing over 100 subjects from the franchise's history is quite impressive.
As far as technical merits are concerned, the film could benefit from more visual flare. Its predominantly a talking heads piece that, at 6-plus hours, can start to feel a bit monotonous. The only real creative move Farrands takes is to bookend the film with a scene around a campfire, where Cory Feldman tells the fabled tale of Camp Crystal Lake's favorite killers. Feldman continues as the film's narrator, which may grate those who are turned off by the former child star, but Feldman should be praised. He does a fine job leading the film through the chapters in an amusing but still measured tone. As for the disc itself, Image Entertainment have, for better or worse, mostly re-presented the former release, so this disc serves more as a means for those unable to attain the former release. That means that, while the video and audio is finely handled and the feature length commentary track (a feat in itself) is present, there is a lack of extra features. However, for a documentary that is nearing seven hours it shouldn't be a requisite that more would be needed. If you missed out on this disc two years ago, don't make the mistake twice. This is a gem for fans of the series and even offers a fresh perspective for those who aren't die hards, although its hard to say that many who don't at least enjoy the films will find the six hours necessary viewing. All-in-all, like Farrands' similar documentary, Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, Crystal Lake Memories is a captivating watch — one that will warrant return viewings.

Sanctuary's fallen warriors have long awaited this moment: the Necromancer has finally returned to send them back into battle against the demons of the Burning Hells. Blizzard Entertainment today announced that the Rise of the Necromancer pack, which summons the iconic Necromancer class into Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, is now available digitally in-game on PC and through the online Blizzard Shop and Xbox One Store.
Necromancers are grim spellcasters who draw upon the power of blood and bone and raise terrifying armies of undead minions from the remains of their vanquished foes. These brooding men and women are masters of the dark arts who seek to preserve the balance between the forces of life and death in Sanctuary—even if it requires detonating several thousand demon corpses along the way. The class is all about blood and risk taking. You must forgo your well-being in order to deal the most damage.
We've been playing with the Necromancer for a few days and it's a lot of fun. While traditional Diablo III characters are all about regenerating health and preserving your constitution, the Necromancer is just an insane class. Forget what you know about Diablo III because this changes the game entirely. It took us a while to fully understand all the changes and reach a point where we were comfortable executing his powers. You'll die a lot in the beginning because you won't get used to it, but eventually you'll get the hang of the combat. Just don't give up or get frustrated because ultimately it's very rewarding.
The grotesque Half-formed Golem in-game pet.
Cosmetic Wings of the Crypt Guardian for all your Diablo III characters.
Some stash tabs on PC.
Necromancer portrait, banner, sigil, and accent, and Blood Master pennant.
Acolytes of the dark arts can also unearth the most closely guarded secrets of the Priests of Rathma by studying the Book of the Necromancer. This archive chronicles the shadowy history of the Necromancers and contains a grimoire of their spells, runes, weapons, and armor—an ideal resource for anyone who plans to take the Necromancer through the challenges that comprise the Season 11 journey, beginning July 20.
Console gamers who have yet to experience Diablo III can acquire a legendary treasure starting today in the form of the digital-only Eternal Collection, which includes the Rise of the Necromancer pack, Diablo III, and the award-winning Reaper of Souls expansion for Xbox One. This expansive all-in-one collection is a perfect jumping-in point for anyone who might have missed out on the definitive couch co-op gaming experience. If you haven't played Diablo III in a while, now's a great time to jump in because the Necromancer is that unique. If you haven't played Diablo III, forget about the Necromancer, the game is amazing on its own and everyone interested in video games should experience it.

Tortured Texas teens 'forced to drink bleach, burned and beaten': Police docs
Hilary Duff Is "Optimistic" That The 'Lizzie McGuire' Reboot Could Still Happen
Trump's return to stump highlights 2024 campaign challenges, donor woes
The 16-year-old twins who escaped an alleged house of horrors' in Texas were subject to various tortures at home including being made to drink cleaning fluids, being burned with bleach and beaten with extension cords, according to new court papers.
The twins were found emaciated and near-naked on September 18 after they broke free from handcuffs and banged on a neighbor's home.
The neighbor took them in and called police, prompting the twins' mother, Zaikiya Duncan, 40, and her boyfriend, Jova Terrell, 27, to flee with her five other children to Louisiana.
They have both since been arrested and now face child abuse charges. All seven children have been placed into care.
Investigators spoke to the two teens to compile charging documents, in which they detailed the abuse they allegedly suffered and how they escaped.
In the documents, obtained by KHOU 11, the boy and girl said their mother poured bleach in their mouths and on their genitals until it burned their skin and made them drink cleaning products because they "talked too much."
They were fed Benadryl tablets until the boy had a seizure and beat them with extension cords, curtain rods and other implements.
The teens also said they were kept naked and handcuffed in a small laundry room and had to keep silent all day or they would be beaten. They also had to defecate and urinate on themselves and had only a dirty mop to wipe it off.
The only food they were given were sandwiches of mustard, bologna or relish a couple of times a week. Authorities said they were severely malnourished when they were found.
According to the documents, the boy had found the key to their handcuffs in Duncan's purse and hid it in his mouth, then unlocked himself and his twin, broken the zip ties around their legs and ran out of the house. Pictures obtained by KHOU showed the children with marks from the handcuffs around their wrists and ankles and scars on their bodies.
Once helped by the neighbor, the teenagers, who sufered fractures and were both malnourished, were taken to hospital.
Officers set about locating their mother, her boyfriend and their siblings — aged 14, 10, 7 and 12-year-old twins – but they had fled to Louisiana. An Amber Alert was issued and the parents identifid and arrested by local police.
Details about Duncan and Terrell started to emerge Thursday, including that she had a previous record for child abuse, after she allegedly scalded one of her then-five year children with hot water.
Terrell is a wannabe rapper who goes by the name YBG Joker, although it appeared he had limited success online, amassing only 21 likes to his Facebook page.
The family had recently moved into a brand new $600,000 home in Cypress, Texas, with neighbors saying they had only been living there for in the home for two weeks, according to KPRC.
The home includes four bedrooms and a grand staircase, a different reality company website shows.

Chris and Carolyn Boetger's Home Brings the Outside In
STORY BY GAY LYONS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BEN FINCH
Chad and Carolyn Boetger's decision to build their "forever home" in Holston Hills wasn't motivated by a desire to leave downtown but by their desire to live on the water.
"We wanted to be close to downtown," said Chad, "but we wanted to be on the water."
"If you want to be close to downtown and live on the water, that means Sequoyah Hills or Holston Hills," said Carolyn.
"We like the mix in Holston Hills," said Chad. "Being able to build a modern home and add to the historic, eclectic range of the neighborhood was cool."
Once they selected the acre and a half lot in Holston Hills, the Boetgers' choice of architect was a no-brainer. Chad, who graduated with a degree in architecture from UT, has been with architecture firm BarberMcMurry since 1997.
"We designed the house three times," said Chad.
"The first one was beautiful, magnificent," said Carolyn. "It was bigger; it had an infinity pool. The second one was a little bit closer."
"We worked through a lot of ideas and options," said Chad.
"I'm glad we did it that way," said Carolyn. "It helped us see what we wanted."
What they wanted was a minimalist house with a view from every room.
"Being able to see the water from every room in the house is important," said Chad. "We wanted to be able to see outside from every part of the house--no dark corners."
"We wanted to wake up and see the water," he continued. "Walk out on the patio and drink your coffee."
"It was extremely important to have natural light," said Carolyn, "so we have floor to ceiling windows. There's even a window in the laundry room."
"We put our son Gage on the second floor because when I was a kid, I always wanted to live in a tree house," said Chad, referencing the trees visible from Gage's room.
"There are 33 operable windows," Chad explained. "Opening them allows for cross ventilation."
Carolyn describes the home as "simple and elegant with lots of texture- -especially outside. I didn't want to pick just one exterior."
The flat roof was not just an aesthetic choice. "We are going to add solar panels and a green roof," said Chad. "We're using 50 percent less energy than a traditional house. Sustainability is important to us."
The first floor, which has white terrazzo flooring, consists of the master suite and the "main room." The family room, Gage's room and two small guest rooms are upstairs. The white terrazzo flooring downstairs mirrors the white stucco on the exterior; the cyprus floors upstairs match the cyprus on the exterior. A staircase with cyprus boards complemented by stainless steel aircraft cable railings bridges the two floors.
"You sometimes see the cable running horizontally," said Chad. "We decided to do it vertically. We wanted to do something open."
"I spent some time throwing myself against it to test its strength," he added. "It's safe."
The house was designed for maximum livability according to Chad.
"We tried to maximize the space in the rooms you actually use. The main room is one room, but there are three distinct spaces."
"It's great when we have parents with kids over," said Carolyn. "The kids can have the upstairs, and the grownups can have the downstairs."
"This is not a large house," said Chad. "It's 2800 square feet. Keeping the house white makes it seem larger."
"I'm definitely a minimalist," he added.
There is no trim. Doors blend into walls.
"When you design a modern house, there's nothing to cover up your mistakes," explained Chad. "What you see is what you get. Baseboards and crown molding in older homes may be pretty, but the trim was created to hide imperfections."
Chad doesn't see white walls, floors, counters, cabinets and furniture when he surveys the space.
"The view is the art," he explained."That's why everything is white or glass. It's all in how you look at it. I think there's a lot of color in the space."
"This house is everything we wanted," said Carolyn.
"It's fun and modern and suits us to a 'T.' It was never an option for us to do something cookie cutter."

Sailing Ahead

Despite regional turmoil, Maersk Line's Anne Gronbjerg says Jordan continues to show promise.
The Maersk Line service that stops off at the Port of Aqaba has faced many challenges over the years. But Anne Gronbjerg, the Danish shipping giant's managing director for Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq, says even the threat of pirates, regional instability, port strikes, and fierce competition haven't been enough to weaken her company's commitment to the Jordanian market.
Considering the instability in the region, is Maersk's market growing in Jordan or is it in decline?
The macro trend that we can see is that the local Jordanian market is growing at a reasonable rate. Where we can see some challenges is in the transient market into Iraq because of the unrest there now. But we also know that there is very strong expertise in Jordan for handling transport cargo into Iraq, and in the long-term we think that this market is going to come back.
How much of an impact have worker strikes in Aqaba over the past year had on your business?
It has had an impact on all the carriers. We are all hit the same when there are strikes or when things aren't running as smoothly as they should be in the port. It incurs extra costs for the customers, extra costs across the line, and it makes it difficult to plan. We run a very reliable network with a fixed weekly schedule, so strikes are really toxic and are a really big problem. However, we are pretty confident now that we're entering into a period of more stability. We're hoping that this will make 2015 a much better year for all parties, including businesses, the authorities, and for us as a service provider for Jordan.
Has Maersk faced any problems with piracy on the route into Jordan?
Piracy was a big issue around 2010. But because of a well-coordinated international response, that problem has now been very much reduced. It was never a problem in Jordanian waters or even the international waters outside of Aqaba, but it was a problem off the coast of Somalia, the south end of Yemen, and so on, where you enter into the Red Sea. But it's almost nothing now.
How much competition do you face in the region?
Globally, container shipping is a very competitive industry because the basic balance between supply of container carrying capacity and demand for carrying containers is that there is an oversupply of capacity. So that makes the industry as a whole very competitive. If we look at Jordan, the picture is basically the same. So it is very competitive on some traits more than others. But again we are happy with the position we have in the market today. We are not looking to grow it or shrink it. That also is the approach of our global company; that we're just absolutely happy where we are.
How important is Aqaba for Maersk?
Aqaba is important to Maersk because Jordan is a growing market and it also serves as a gateway to Iraq and other neighboring countries. We see this as an interesting market in the long-term and as a growing market. So that's why we're committed today and also in the long-term to Jordan. As for how strategic the Jordanian market is to Maersk clients globally; it's not one of the biggest markets, but it's a market that makes a lot of sense for us to be in. We have some very good customers here that we really value collaborating with and that we want to continue working with.

(6616) Plotinos ist ein Asteroid des Hauptgürtels, der am 25. März 1971 von dem niederländischen Astronomenehepaar Cornelis Johannes van Houten und Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld entdeckt wurde. Die Entdeckung geschah im Rahmen der 1. Trojaner-Durchmusterung, bei der von Tom Gehrels mit dem 120-cm-Oschin-Schmidt-Teleskop des Palomar-Observatoriums aufgenommene Feldplatten an der Universität Leiden durchmustert wurden.

Der Asteroid wurde nach dem griechischen antiken Philosophen Plotin (205–270) benannt, dem Begründer und bekanntesten Vertreter des Neuplatonismus.

Der Himmelskörper gehört der Vesta-Familie an, einer großen Gruppe von Asteroiden, benannt nach (4) Vesta, dem zweitgrößten Asteroiden und drittgrößten Himmelskörper des Hauptgürtels.

The work The enchanted castle represents a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in City Libraries, City of Gold Coast. This resource is a combination of several types including: Work, Multimedia, Software, Computer Files.
Jimmy, Gerald, and Cathy hope to find adventure when they set off to explore the woods, but they get far more than they bargained for when they discover the Enchanted Castle. At first, they seem to be in a fairy tale come true, until a friend turns invisible, thanks to a magic ring she can't remove. Adventure follows adventure as they seek to control the magic--but the magic has a will of its own, and it is all they can do to keep up..


For a profession that claims to be so concerned with the needs of society, the continuing gender imbalance in architectural education and practice is a dirty subject. Dirty, because it's been stagnant for some thirty years.
Beyond the profession, the emergence of fourth wave feminism has broken a twenty year drought in the discourse. A new generation of feminist critique is emerging, characterised by a broader civic commitment, one fuelled by the recognition that time and again, women and minorities have been the first casualties of neoliberalism.
Whereas after World War II the architectural profession rallied around its obligation to fulfill a social need, today architecture has all but capitulated its absolute servitude to capitalism. Recognising that feminist thinking is a meaningful response to the inequalities of capitalism, A GENDERED PROFESSION will be a forum for a discussion about the failure of our profession - one that is so explicitly concerned with the design of inclusive environments - to resolve its own inequalities. Contributions will be invited from all corners of the discipline to propose strategies, attitudes and solutions to this crisis in representation.
At stake is more than just the discrimination of women. Male architects suffer from the mechanisms of gender stereotyping, obliged to place professional commitments above those to their family and children. And while three quarters of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual architects report being comfortable being open about their sexuality in the workplace, that number drops to just sixteen per cent when on the building site.
A GENDERED PROFESSION will perform a diagnostic check of the architecture profession from one end of the spectrum to the other. Whereas much has been written on feminism and architecture, the majority is produced exclusively by women. A GENDERED PROFESSION will actively seek gender parity in both its contributions and editorial structure and will not limit its understanding of gender to an either/or analogue.
Provocations are sought from architects, artists, academics, practitioners, students and everyone in between.
Does gender balance in the production of architecture have any impact on the quality of the built environment? Will gender equality only be achieved through positive discrimination, such as female-only competitions, practices and building sites? Is laissez-faire neo-liberalism a more democratic means of achieving gender equality? Should there be women only prizes in architecture? Should there be women only spaces in the city? If so why, and who should design them? Is the existence of successful female architects not proof enough of our profession's gender diversity? Can the principles of feminism serve as a useful design tool for interpreting and responding to societal needs? Why do male, female and TG architects need feminism? Does leaving the profession to raise a family really hamper your career? Does feminism help or hinder our understanding of other sexualities? Do a female architect design differently to a male architect? Does a LGBT architect design differently to a 'straight' architect? Can feminism be taught as a design methodology? Is there any point in achieving gender equality in student populations when typically three quarters of all architecture tutors are men?
Our points of provocation are inevitably not comprehensive and we welcome any proposal that engages with any aspect of gender or sexuality with regard to architectural production.

'An evocative portrait of a forgotten period of Britain's farming history...is an ode both to the soil, and those who have worked it alongside her' Daily Telegraph Joan Bomford wanted to be a farmer so much she always wore a tie like her dad. She ran away from school whenever she could to help him. As an 8 year-old she was the first person in the family to drive a tractor. No job was ever too tough for her. Now aged 83, she's still as active, still driving tractors, still feeding the farm's beef cattle and horses, and still giving riding lessons. This is her account of a lifelong love-affair with the land and the people who work on it. With the warmth and wit of a born story teller, she tells us what it's been like to live through an era of enormous change, her love of animals kindled by her father's shire horses who did all the heavy work until machinery took over. Up With The Lark is not only the portrait of a forgotten era, but also the story of one woman's overwhelming desire to do the thing she cared about more than anything else - being Farmer Joan.


Replace the foam inserts with better insoles for running.
One of the most common requests we get is for advice on insoles for running shoes. If you have been a runner for any length of time, you have probably realized – or been told – that you will need to replace the foam insoles that come in your running shoes with better insoles for running. It's important to start with the best running shoes you can afford, but don't stop there. Investing in a good set of running shoe insoles isn't a luxury – it's an absolute must for your health.
Insoles for running shoes are important during high impact activities.
The importance of running insoles can't be understated. The human foot has 26 bones, all fitting together almost like a puzzle in a series of plates and joints that work together with tendons and ligaments to create a fully faceted piece of biomechanical awesomeness. Think about all the different ways your feet can move, bend, stretch, grip, tighten, flatten, and adjust. One of the most remarkable attributes of the foot's structural makeup is the arch, which is what allows the foot to do so much of what it does. Protecting the arch, especially during high-impact activity, is critical for short- and long-term foot health.
Consider running insoles for plantar fasciitis.
Runners can often experience a painful condition known as plantar fasciitis. A great way to combat plantar fasciitis is with arch support, which all of our running shoe insoles provide. Save yourself significant amounts of pain and medical expense with the simple purchase of a running insoles for plantar fasciitis.
Get your running shoe insoles before you pound the pavement.
High-impact athletics are sometimes called "pounding the pavement," and they get that moniker for a reason. Running (as well as related activities like jumping and skipping) puts a lot of pressure on various points of the foot, requiring it to move and adjust at a rapid pace. When the delicate structure of the arch isn't supported correctly, the heel isn't stabilized, and alignment isn't achieved, you aren't just risking pain and injury – you are virtually guaranteeing it. Protect your feet with insoles that provide the right amount of stability, arch support, shock absorption, and cushioning.
Here at Insoles and Beyond, we have collected a wide array of insoles that will work well in running shoes as well as just about every other type of footwear (we still haven't found an adequate solution for those 99-cent flip flops…). If you are new to running insoles and you aren't sure where to start, take a moment to browse our inventory, or just get in touch with us via email or over the phone. We will be happy to assist you in finding the best way to support your feet.

Faidherbe Must Fall
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2022
Ferdinand De Jong
The Prologue discusses the fall of the statue of General Louis Faidherbe in Saint-Louis, Senegal. The statue was placed in the main square of Saint-Louis in 1886 but was toppled in 2017. Although the perpetrators of this act of iconoclasm were unknown, the toppling of the statue was acclaimed by some of the town's population. The mayor of Saint-Louis nonetheless restored the statue to its former position, defending the colonial heritage of a city that owes its existence to the French empire. However, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, the statue of Faidherbe once again became the subject of heated debates in the national media. Considered by some as the founder of modern Senegal, others denounce Faidherbe as a perpetrator of colonial violence. The Prologue examines how the legacy of this key figure in the history of colonialism is assessed today. Considering the question of responsibility as key to this debate, the Prologue questions the usefulness of the categories of perpetrators and victims in the history of colonialism. Following Michael Rothberg, it studies the decolonization of heritage using his concept of implicated subjects.

In the tradition of The Adventures of Peter Rabbit, this is a "garden tale" of farmer versus vermin, or vice versa. The farmers in this case are a vaguely criminal team of three stooges: "Boggis and Bunce and Bean / One fat, one short, one lean. / These horrible crooks / So different in looks / Were nonetheless equally mean." Whatever their prowess as poultry farmers, within these pages their sole objective is the extermination of our hero--the noble, the clever, the Fantastic Mr. Fox. Our loyalties are defined from the start; after all, how could you cheer for a man named Bunce who eats his doughnuts stuffed with mashed goose livers? As one might expect, the farmers in this story come out smelling like ... well, what farmers occasionally do smell like.

Kuni, Kuni, Kuni - Three Japanese Woodblock Artists of Decadence
Kunichika, Nakamura Shikan IV as Daihachi and Onoe Kikugoro V as Tatsugoro, 1890
The prefix 'Kuni' started life as the suffix 'kuni' in the name Toyokuni. The artist who created the catchy brand name Toyokuni I, was the successful woodblock artist and pupil of Toyoharu who was the founder of the artist school, the Utagawa.
Many people when coming across Japanese woodblock prints are mystified by the confluence and coincidence of the names of the artists. It's unsurprising since the names seem sometimes similar and sometimes in fact identical. Also, to the untrained eye, the work looks very similar. Compare for example the series of Hakkenden prints by Kunisada II (illustrated below) with any actor portrait by Kunisada (I) and it is hard even for an expert to identify one from the other.
Utagawa Kunsada II, Eight Dog Heroes: Iwai Kumesaburo III as Hikiroku's Daughter Hamaji, 1852.
The incomprehension in the western mind stems from the west's obsession with genius and and individual identity… with that modern fetish of 'authenticity'… with the idea of the original and the unique. These concepts were barely articulated in the feudal atmosphere of emergent 'modern' Japanese culture of the Edo period. To the self obsessed and endlessly solipsistic culture of today, the idea of an intern in a web developer's studio surrendering their name when promoted and adopting say, Goo(gle) as a prefix and the name of their boss as a suffix is unimaginable. This was the case in the studios and theatres of Edo. And so it was that the fourteen year old Kumaemon (even then he had been known in childhood as Kunakichi), began to study with his father's friend Utagawa Toyoharu in the early 1780's. When he showed promise he was given a new 'family name'… Utagawa and the first syllable of his teacher's name Toyo. The derivation, etymology of 'Kuni' remains in doubt. I cannot find any reference to 'Kuni' in the literature before Toyokuni's adoption of it into his name and there seems to be no literature even speculating upon it (any suggestions do please write in). The word, broadly speaking means: "from our country", "of the country". Toyokuni then perhaps adopted it as a satisfying way of completing his go, or given name.
Kunisada/Toyokuni III (1786-1865) A Collection of Five Brave Women: Kawarazaki Gonjuro as Ocho, 1861.
Thereafter the history of Kuni is one of monopoly of the vast and profitable woodblock print industry that exploded on the Edo scene at the beginning of the nineteenth century and here the little joke about Google is not so misplaced. Here is a strange outburst from the notable Japanese scholar and author of Images from the Floating World (Office du Livre, 1978) Richard Lane (1926 - 2002):
The causes for decline lie in a combination of declining talent, overproduction for a mass audience and deteriorating taste on the part of a changing public for prints… the prints changed gradually from decorations for a connoisseur's chamber to pin-ups for the labourer and clerk.
And another by James A Michener, this time from The Floating World, (University of Hawaii Press, 1954) :
More than three dozen artists whose names begin either Kuni (borrowed from their teacher Toyokuni) or Yoshi (from Kuniyoshi) filled new-born Tokyo with repellent prints of this nature… it was these grotesque horrors which helped awaken Europe to the beauties of the Japanese print, for many of the first books on ukiyo-e dealt with them but it is these repellent prints which most American Tourists lug home as prizes. One of the unpleasant by-products of an interest in ukiyo-e is the number of times each year one is dragged protestingly to a portfolio of 'Japanese prints' which some family want to be assured are worth thousands of dollars. Invariably they are worth nothing.
Kuniyoshi, Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Sukeroku, 1850
Neither critic a fan then, of the Kunis or the Yoshis. But what of the artists themselves and what of the work they made? The line begins as we have seen with Toyokuni, an artist of great skill but a businessman of still greater qualities. Where Michener and Lane and the other connoisseurs are wrong is in either identifying a 'decline' in quality or placing that decline with production or talent or indeed consumption. History has really shown them wrong. The slender and in a sense primitive works of the eighteenth century masters was a commercial operation and the customers were not the connoisseur's chambers as Richard Lane fondly imagined. He was clearly summoning to mind an image of the Japanese equivalent of a Cambridge don sucking on a pipe whilst admiring an engraving by Raphael or Botticelli. Crucially, he was contrasting this (as Michener does) with imaginary hordes of vulgarians snatching debased repro's from hawkers on Oxford Street at tuppence a print. The prints that precede the Utagawa School were of actors and prostitutes and were aimed at the largest audience possible, they were made in editions to be sold widely and profitably. The difference was that the population of Edo was expanding and the population itself was becoming restive, wealthy and demanding. They got in return, kabuki on a vast scale and unlicensed decadence in the form of prostitution and relaxation. The woodblock prints that satisfied that craving were brilliant, intense and overwhelmingly successful… connoisseurs do hate success.
Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) Celebrated Treasures of Mountain and Sea. Shrimp from Ise. 1852
Kuniyoshi was the first of these superstars. He was made so by the revived interest in a glorious and violent past… it has an equivalent in contemporary Victorian cults of Kings Arthur and Alfred in England. Kuniyoshi's stock in trade was heroes, warriors, and noble if compliant females. His print, Shichibyoe Kagekiyo, Resisting Arrest at Tôdaiji Temple from 1840 (below) shows all the vigour and muscular artistry that revived the art form and rescued it from the blandness of the fin de siecle. Kuniyoshi was called Yoshisaburo by his parents but after becoming apprenticed to Toyokuni at fourteen, was given the name Kuniyoshi, being a portmanteau of the second part of his teacher's name and the first part of his own.
Kuniyoshi. Shichibyoe Kagekiyo, Resisting Arrest at Tôdaiji Temple, 1840
Standing next to Kuniyoshi… literally, was the artist Kunisada. Kunisada was a prodigiously talented draftsman who was also apprenticed to Toyokuni in 1800. He was born Tsunoda Shozo but like Kuniyoshi, he was given the privilege of taking the last syllable of his teacher's name as his first - Kuni(sada). As with Kuniyoshi, there is no certainty as to where the last syllable of his name derived from but it is possible that it lingers as a phonetic memory of the family name Sumida; his father was a ferry operator on the Sumida River. His early love of the kabuki theatre placed him in a unique position to promote and expand the public obsession with the performances and the actors. Kunisada produced thousands of actor scenes and portraits and some, such as Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Tokijiro, from the series Thirty-six Imaginary Poets of 1852 (below), are among the outstanding portraits of all time.
Kunisada, 36 Imaginary Poets: Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Tokijiro, 1852
These two artists dominated the woodblock scene, both producing commercial prints of females and each securing unique territory in theatre prints and history genres. They in turn set up vibrant studios producing dozens of artists for the next generation, one that would prove to be the last generation of ukiyo-e artist printmakers in fact. The last and greatest of these were undoubtedly, Toyohara Kunichika and Taiso Yoshitoshi; pupils of Kunisada and Kuniyoshi respectively.
Kunichika, Ichikawa Danjuro IX in the Play Ningen Banji Kane no Yo no Naka, 1867
These two are perhaps more reviled by mid twentieth century scholars and remain (especially in the case of Kunichika) to be fully recognised. Kunichika was born Ōshima Yasohachi in 1835, changed his name once in childhood to Arakawa Yasohachi and when he became apprenticed to Kunisada he took the name Toyohara Kunichika, the first part of his name taken from his teacher and the second part of his name an homage to his former teacher Toyohara Chikanobu (not to be confused with Kunichika's later student Toyohara Chikanobu). His early works are indistinguishable from his teacher's but his own style developed in the 1860's and he became an innovator and successful artist transitioning from the Edo culture that he was brought up in into the modernising fury of the Meiji era of industrialisation and modernisation… this change destroyed the commercial and consequently the artistic base of woodblock art. With its purpose gone, the form effectively died as a living, connected expression of a culture. Woodblock printing as a craft persisted into the twentieth century with technically glib, but artistically hollow copies of European painting.
Kunichika, Kawarasaki Gonnosuke VII in the role of Jiraiya, 1863.
These names are like a great family. They are connected like a dynasty and they were artists who were drawn from the body of the people who bought their work. Theirs was a living mythology. The stories and the dramas which it was recently fashionable to sneer at reveal themselves as drenched in pathos, full in fact of mystery and hidden, secret meaning. The covert glances and the secret gestures are a formal language as complex and sophisticated as any Renaissance painting. Subtlety and bombast coexist in nineteenth century ukiyo-e and reveal a living drama of a people and a culture now gone, but these Edoists, these great ukiyo-e artists laid a foundation for western culture that is unacknowledged in so far as it reaches into every corner of our lives. Their touch and vision, their generosity of subject matter, their colour and their modernity frame the great achievements of modern art… van Gogh, Manet, Impressionism, and the so called new architecture of the Americas. More then than just comics for clerks and labourers.

When the weekend sets in, millions of football lovers all across the globe place bets on their favorite teams. When the matches end, some people will have won while others will have lost. You can win big by betting on football matches. Winning is all a matter of strategy. This is why some people can even manage to live comfortably from winnings made entirely from football bets.
To win big with daily sports picks, you do not even have to be an expert in the sport. You also don't have to know how to play the sport. If you can analyze the strengths of the teams playing, you are likely to correctly predict how the match will turn out. While you are doing some prediction, the act is not random.

Any betting individual should decide beforehand not to waste any of their time on websites whose focus is different other than sporting and betting. From the sporting and betting websites, users are able to get the correct betting advice on what they can bank their bets for that day on. Fruthermore, such websites like oskeimsportspicks.com are also designed with a number of features that make betting individuals online tasks very simplified.
First of, these websites have categories in sports clearly spelled out. A user whose only need is to place a bet can be able to restrict the kind of data that is sent to them by these websites. Once a user has filtered the data, the website is able to show them the matches available for the day as well as possible scores for the teams in the available categories. This kind of data is also important to users in making predictions on the winning bets. The users will be at ease as they are sure that they are on the right track in winning their placed bets.
Second, it is possible for users to place their bets on the same websites without doing so on other websites. This option is very useful as it saves those placing bets a lot of their precious time. Individuals trying to select their possible wins can also place their bet from the same websites.

The world has seen sports grow into a very big industry. Sports have become to be loved by many because of how it brings unity among people. People will always come together to support and cheer for the games regardless of what background they may come from. There will always be a particular sport that a country will identify with. A particular sport will stand out if it gets significant support from fans. Whether or not a sport will grow and become a source of income to the players and stakeholders in general is based on how big the fun base is for that kind of sport.
Football in particular has grown into a huge phenomenon in this industry. Many fans that are willing to spend loads of cash to support and watch the matches are attracted to football. Other industries have used this massive following to their advantage. One of such industries is the betting industry. Football betting is a on a rise these days. Betting companies through oskeimsportspicks.com have invested a lot into football because they are aware of its following.
However it is not safe to put blind bets on the football games. Do not be fooled into thinking that all you need is a sheet with the fixtures of the matches. Knowing the performance of the teams you intend to bet on is important. You can use the history of the performances to predict the outcome of the future games. Information of past performances at this point become very important to you. There are however, many other factors that go into predicting the outcome of games other than past performance.
If you are new to betting then football picks can be very challenging. Those with experience in the betting world will also still need expert help in calculating the probabilities in order not to take a gamble and fail. So I would say that it makes more sense to get help in picking the correct teams. Your risk is lowered by a significant margin if you use the betting tips. Some betting companies actually give you so much convenience by allowing to access to betting tips and the actual betting on the same website. You therefore use minimal of your time to place your bets without the need of going through several websites. Learn more here.
