The Protestant Institute
of Theology
The Protestant Institute of Theology, which was founded in 1972, is made up of two protestant theology faculties, Paris and Montpellier. Its main role is to prepare for the ministry in the Église Protestante Unie de France, but it is also a well-equipped research centre and an institution which provides continuous education, working in association with the section of religious Science in the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, the Catholic Faculty of Paris, the Institut Supérieur d'Etudes Oecumeniques and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales.
One institution but two sites

Since 1972, the Protestant Institute of Theology has merged into one structure both the protestant theology universities of Montpellier and Paris. There are 300 full-time students as well as others who do not actually take an exam or who follow continuous education programmes. At the beginning, the first cycle of studies took place in Paris and the second in Montpellier, but this is not always the case nowadays – the teachers, however, usually teach in both places.
The Faculties have had similar and also different histories, but both cater for a variety of protestant traditions, stretching from liberalism on the one side to "orthodoxy" on the other ; the different tendencies have not always co-existed harmoniously.
Protestant Faculty of theology in Montpellier
The Faculty of Montpellier was founded in 1919, so that the Faculty of Montauban could be transferred to a university town. This is where nearly all the future pastors of the protestant Church used to prepare their theological studies, together with Strasburg University, in the XIXth century in France. Montauban was founded in 1809 within the jurisdiction of the Académie de Toulouse and was not situated far from the former Académie Protestante (which dated back to 1598).
The first deans of Montpellier were Henri Bois (1862-1924) and Léon Maury (1863-1931), two theologians who were particularly aware of the social problems of their time and the progress of research in social science. Since then, many remarkable professors have taught critical exegesis of the Old and New Testament (Wilhelm Vischer), Church history, classical languages, systematic theology (André Gounelle), practical theology, social issues, philosophy, ethics. The Protestant Institute of Theology has enabled the Faculty of Montpellier to improve its courses in social science and to work with many other international universities ; this has led to many original study projects, such as those associated with Paul Tillich and the theology of Process. It is also linked to state universities in the area of Provence/Alpes/Côte d'Azur.

The Faculty of Paris was founded in 1877 when two university teachers from Strasburg took refuge in Paris because they could not and would not teach in a university which had been taken over by the Germans since defeat in 1870. Thus it was that, for the first time since the beginning of the Reform Movement in France, there was a theological college in Paris for future pastors, missionaries and theologians. The above mentioned professors had the added advantage of possessing a deep knowledge of the historical-critical School of text analysis which had been developed in Germany (this was the case for Adolf van Harnack in particular).
From the beginning, the Paris Faculty, situated in Boulevard Arago, had an open attitude in its teaching and research. The professors contributed significantly to the new Social Christianity movement. They also participated in other contemporary issues, such as the reforms and modernization of the State university and the modernist crisis. Among them, we can mention Frédéric Lichtenberger, Adolphe Lods, Wilfred Monod and Raoul Allier. And then under the dynamic influence of Pierre Maury, as well as Jean Bosc, Georges Casalis, André Dumas and Oscar Culman, the Faculty began to teach the works of Karl Barth.
The Protestant Institute of Theology has enabled the Paris Theology Faculty to diversify its activities. For example, there has been more frequent contact with the section of religious Science in the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, with the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and with the various different Faculties (philosophy, theology, the Institut Supérieur d'Etudes Oecumeniques – ISEO) of the Institut Catholique de Paris.
The Atelier protestant works in association with the Faculty. This is a conference and study centre under the aegis of the Église Protestante Unie de France.
The philosopher Paul Ricoeurhas left his private library to the Faculty in his will.

To register for the St. Thomas Aquinas: The Catholic Center at Purdue Religious Education Program, please come to the Front Office from 9:00AM – 5:00PM on Mondays – Fridays, or come to the Front Office during Religious Education Sundays at any time between 8:30 – 11:30AM.
The religious education courses at St. Thomas Aquinas: The Catholic Center at Purdue are courses instructed by a blend of qualified resident parishioner and student parishioner catechists that have completed the Diocesan required Protocol Training and well as continual catechetical FIRE formation. All of the classes meet on Sunday mornings in two separate sessions.
If you would like to register your child(ren) for Religious Education at St. Thomas Aquinas: The Catholic Center at Purdue, please e-mail: John@boilercatholics.org.
As aforementioned, the 1st Grade Sacramental Preparation Year is required for all students who are not enrolled in the local Catholic schools. This is necessary so that the foundational formation of the students is established before entering into the Sacramental Year of First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion in 2nd Grade.
Students will receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion during their 2nd Grade year. Students will attend the First Reconciliation Retreat in November and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to the start of Advent. Students will attend the First Holy Communion retreat in March and will receive First Holy Communion during the Easter season.
As aforementioned, the 8th Grade Sacramental Preparation Year is required for all students who are not enrolled in the local Catholic schools. This year of preparation is necessary so as to instill an evangelical heart in order for the students to more readily receive the truths presented during the Sacramental Year of Confirmation in the 9th Grade.
The Confirmation Class meets from 10:30AM – 11:30AM on Sunday mornings. A major focus is Christ's love and the beauty of the Catholic Church. Parents and sponsors are encouraged to be active participants in the Confirmation preparation program.
The Middle School Youth Ministry provides an opportunity for the youth to grow in fellowship, community, and faith at weekly meetings. Service opportunities and retreats are often utilized to form stronger relationships with one another, and, ultimately, with God.
The High School Youth Ministry provides an opportunity for the youth to form a deeper relationship with God through community and fellowship. There will be opportunities to serve others with service projects, as well as opportunities to become more engaged in our Catholic Faith through discussions and various activities concerning the pillars of the Faith. Additionally, severalfellowship events will occur to further deepen our bonds – such as a cookout at Happy Hallow, a trip to Exploration Acres, and several other off-campus events.
Both ministries meet weekly on Thursday nights: Middle School is from 6:30PM – 7:30PM; High School is from 7:30PM – 9:00PM.
Angie Kauffman, a resident parishioner at St. Thomas Aquinas, has graciously allowed us to provide a link to a website that she owns and operates that provides many awesome printable Catholic resources. Please feel free to check out some of her great work.
Loyola Press offers great resources for families to use at home. These particular guides line-up with the textbooks that we use in our formation sessions.
Use our Parish Code of "H93B8V" to sign-up. There are thousands of hours of multimedia content for all of your Catholic needs. Do you want to study scripture? Formed has you covered. Do you want to watch a movie about St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta? Formed has that to. From videos to books, Formed has it all.
About Me: I grew up in Kokomo, Indiana. Throughout high school, I was very involved in the Youth Ministry program at my home parish and got to attend retreats such as Destination Jesus, the Call, Antioch, and NCYC! This really helped jumpstart my faith and it's my goal to share that with others. Among other various ministries at St. Tom's, I got involved with LifeGuides my freshman year, teaching 3 and 4 year olds. Last year I got to help with the Youth Ministry program and absolutely loved it! I'm so excited to be serving as the coordinator this year. I can't wait to encounter Christ with some wonderful young adults- all while having fun!
I love this verse because it shows how God can work even in our brokenness!
About Me: I spent most of my childhood in Avon, Indiana. I'm passionate about education, health, and living a joy-filled life that reflects Christ. My passion for teaching started with the education department at the Indianapolis Zoo while I was in high school. I came to Purdue excited to join the amazing community of St. Tom's I'd heard so much about. While at church the very first weekend, I saw a flyer and felt an inexplicable calling to the LifeGuides callout. I didn't have any idea what LifeGuides was, but there was no doubt in my mind God was calling me there. I offered to teach whatever grade needed me, and taught 5th grade my freshmen year. As a sophomore I coordinated the entire religious education program. I love every moment I get to spend inspiring our volunteer catechists or interacting with the kids to whom we minister. In addition to my time with LifeGuides I've been a coordinator for new student outreach at St. Tom's and I've staffed the Confirmation retreat the last two years. I'm excited to see where God leads me next, and the religious education program through me.
God says this to Joshua as Joshua is preparing the Israelites to cross the Jordan to get to the Promised Land. This is my favorite verse because it reminds me to never let fears stop me from pursuing God's plan for me. Despite the harsh journey and Moses's death just beforehand, the work of God continued uninterrupted, and no matter what setbacks we encounter, so it is the same for us today.
About Me: As the only child to two loving parents, I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Coming from two devout Catholic families, a parochial education was always something that my parents valued and wanted to provide. As a result, I attended a Catholic grade school and continued my education at a Catholic high school. In high school, my faith grew immensely. Despite several hardships, I was able to grow closer to God. Suffering allowed me to deepen my trust in God and remember that it is all part of His plan. Coming to Purdue, I knew that I wanted to continue in my faith journey by being active in the St. Tom's community. Joining LifeGuides last fall as the LifeGuides Secretary was an amazing opportunity! I was able to continue working on my own faith while making an impact on the lives of young children. I am excited to be returning this fall, and I hope to continue my growth in faith and in my leadership skills.
When I read this verse, it reminds me that there is a greater purpose to all our trials and tribulations. It is through our suffering that we are able to grow in strength and deepen our faith.
About Me: I'm from Cibolo, Texas. I grew up in a military family so I've lived in Ohio, Massachusetts, Guam, Delaware, and then Texas.
Throughout high school I participated in Teen ACTS retreats, Steubenville South youth conferences and Steubenville LEAD. I came to Purdue looking for ways to get involved at St. Tom's. I joined the Lifeguides program my sophomore year and love the amazing impact that we have on small children. I taught First Grade my sophomore year and then First Communion my junior year. I'm so excited to see what this upcoming Lifeguide year brings!
This verse was actually a theme on one of my high school retreats and I've always loved it. Everyday we have to make choices. Sometimes between good or bad, right or wrong, good or better, bad or worse, and more. But, it is always important to have God with you throughout these choices, no matter how small.
About Me: I am from the eastside of Indianapolis, Indiana where I grew up with my two younger siblings and loving parents. I grew up volunteering a lot with my dad at St. Vincent de Paul, the Knight's of Columbus, and our church's summer festival. I got involved in St. Tom's playing cello in the 9 AM choir and teaching 4th grade and 7th grade, a semester each. My favorite thing about St. Tom's and Purdue has been getting to make so many new, amazing friendships (and I cannot wait to make more). Some fun facts about me: I have an obsession with grapes and they are my go-to snack all day, every day. I also crave a nice cup of tea quite often (hot or iced; sweet or unsweet). I love listening to new music and then searching YouTube for instrumental covers (look up Brooklyn Duo, they are my favorite). I want to get to know you and see what all we have in common, so whenever you see me feel free to stop and chat! I want for us all to grow not only in our friendships, but especially in our faith, together through LifeGuides. Let's have a great year!
This verse reminds me to hang in there even when times are rough. Life may be full of suffering, uncertainties, and temptation, but in the end God has a plan and a glorious future for us.
About Me: For the first eight years of my life, my three sisters and I lived in Naryn, Kyrgyzstan, where my parents did mission work for an evangelical protestant organization. Since then I have lived in Roachdale, IN in a big brick farm house with a big vegetable garden and a variety of animals. When I was in 8th grade, my family first visited a Catholic Church. I joined the Church about a year later as a high school freshman. I am so grateful God lead me to the Church and for all the people and events that have been part of the journey. I am currently studying Animal Sciences with minors in Entomology and Spanish. I plan to have a career in rural community development. I am so excited to be the intern for St. Tom's confirmation classes. I hope and pray that each of the students fall in love with our Lord during this time and freely choose to follow His will through participation in the sacrament/gift of confirmation.
This verse is the pivotal point of salvation history. Through Mary, God brings our savior, Jesus Christ into the word when she surrenders to His will. This is the beginning of Mary's motherhood and our adoption. This verse is also a powerful prayer and meditation. May we always surrender to the Divine Will, even if it means some suffering as it did for Mary.
About Me: I was born in Dyer, Indiana but grew up in a small town called Seymour in Indiana. In high school I was very involved in my church by being a youth leader, going on two mission trips, and being a special education teacher in our own program. When I came to Purdue, I was very quiet, and set on working towards my goal of medical school. After a semester at Purdue, I became involved in St.Tom's. I taught H.D.R.E. (a post-confirmation course) and then accepted the position as special education intern. In my position as an intern here, I look forward to expanding the special education program by bringing in new students, and teachers, and making it even more inclusive. I am so excited to let the Holy Spirit guide me in establishing a good foundation for this program!
This is my favorite verse because it is telling us to let go and let God. Sometimes our path in life doesn't go as we thought it would, or we hit a bump in the road. We must remember to do all things through Christ and trust in him, and our life will follow as he has planned for us.

'It's not like he did a Cantona' – Eric Dier defended by Tottenham fan but Jamie O'Hara claims star 'made a big, big mistake'
By Joe Moore
5th March 2020, 8:59 am
Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier 'made a big, big, mistake' by climbing into the stands to confront an angry fan following their FA Cup exit to Norwich, according to Jamie O'Hara.
The former Spurs man believes the incident could forever taint Dier's reputation with supporters, as he threw himself into a crowd to allegedly stop a fight his brother was involved in.
But, that's not that the opinion of a Tottenham supporter who called into talkSPORT to defend the England international, and insisted the whole incident has been blown out of proportion.
Dier was seen arguing in the stands following the defeat to Norwich
Social media descended into frenzy on Wednesday night after a host of videos and photos were posted of Dier jumping over the barrier and clambering up the stands to apparently confront a fan who was angry after watching his side get dumped out of the FA Cup on penalties.
According to Jose Mourinho, though, he was actually jumping in to defend his brother, who appeared to have got into a scrap with a supporter.
Speaking on Thursday's Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, O'Hara said he understood Dier's actions but believe he made a 'big mistake' by personally intervening.
However, Steve the Spurs fan defended the player and said he did nothing wrong.
"I don't think it's bad at all, I think it's been blown out of all proportion," he said after calling into the show.
"He's not done anything wrong, he hasn't done a Cantona or anything like that – that didn't happen.

"I think it's just a symptom of this country where the people who cause the problems get away with it and Eier is going to cop the flack for it, even though he's done nothing wrong."
Giving his take on the incident, O'Hara said: "Eric Dier has made a big, big mistake.
"The problem he's got now is that's going to stick with him, that's what the Spurs fans are going to remember.
"I can understand it because it's family and when you see family and someone given them stick your emotions can get the better of you.
"But you can't go marauding through the crowd and climbing up the stands to get to them, because everyone has a camera phone, he's in a Tottenham shirt, he's climbing through the crowd and it just looks terrible for him.
"We're all emotional, especially after games and he knows that was a big game for Tottenham and he knows he should have done better, the team should have done better and they should have gone through, but they haven't.
"But what you can't do is react. He just has to try and compose himself."

News: Turkish International Footballer Tuncay Sanli signed contract with Bursaspor today. Tuncay Sanli was playing for Wolfsburg in Bundesliga. However he could play 4 matches in Wolfsburg last year and Wolfsburg loaned him to Bolton Wanderers. He released by Wolfsburg this season and Bursaspor didn't pay any transfer fee to Wolfsburg.
Russia had a successful qualification round in 2010-2012 and they reached to finals. They couldn't qualify from group stage in European Championship. They had Ireland, Armenia, Solvakia, Macedonia and Andorra in qualifications. They lost just one match against Slovakia in their home. It was surprising for both sides. Russia had a friendly match with Ivory Coast and the result was 1-1 when the match was over. They played well and they tested young footballers and tactics. They will start to 2014 World Cup qualifications match with Northern Ireland match in Moscow. I believe it won't be too hard match for Russia.
FC Sochaux transferred Kalilou Traoré from Odense. 24 years old defensive midfielder has also capped for Mali National Football team for 3 times. He started his professional career in Real Bamako in Mali.
Bulgaria had very bad performance last qualifications. They just won a match, got two draws and lost in 5 matches. They were at bottom of standings and that was really dissapointing for Bulgarian soccer fans. They scored just 3 goals and conceded 13 goals in 8 matches. However we saw that Bulgaria performance has raised and they started to play better football in friendly matches. I don't think that it will be enough for them but I think they will be alot better in their home matches. Now they will face with Italy in home for qualify to World Cup 2014 and it won't be easy game for them.


I felt that the paradise I shared would soon be gone when you honestly think about it I had gotten to spend my time living the dream. I fished under a pink sky, rock climbed atop a volcanic dome, had a bigfoot sighting, drank brews and even went swinging in the trees. I stood on cliffs with 150 mile views and paranormal experiences. This place left me wanting more not just seeing but experiencing. Drinking brews, toking on the lake, fishing in my chair with a nice fire going and sitting in a hammock reading about aliens in Nevada. There was good eats, games and we put together our own journey. Saying goodbye to this place is hard just like most of the remote locations I hike or camp at. They become second homes I felt like I was losing mine. But I look back and think about all the strange experiences at Burnside and finds having more questions then I do answers.


Although the New York Falcons AAU charter was founded in 2004, its heritage dates back 28 years prior. In 1976 Walter J. McLaughlin created the Rockland All Stars. Walter's sole goal was to promote Rockland County basketball. He volunteered his time and devoted his energy to recruiting the best players and developing them into the best teams to compete in the prestigious Harlem Rucker league and Roberto Clemente Park tournaments from 1976 through 1983. He also created and distributed newsletters regarding the Rockland teams and players progress. As a result of his efforts, more top collegiate basketball players came from Rockland in that time span than in any other period in County history. Jeff Brown – University of VT, Joe McGuinness – Manhattan, Phil McLaughlin – Mansfield State, Bruce Weisberg – Dartmouth, Bernard Hill – East Carolina, Joe Clinton – Union, Alan Sofen – Hamilton, Dennis Fleming – Lemoyne, Jim McLaughlin – Utica, Mike Brown – Manhattan, Howard Levy – Princeton, Endy Basquait – Northeastern, George Leonard – Stonehill, Kevin Houston – Army, just to name a few.
It was Walter's positive example of volunteerism and dedication that led to the creation of the New York Falcons to be passed upon to the next generation. Founded by John E. McLaughlin and Joe McGuinness in 2004, two Boys AAU teams were originally formed. Then in 2005 Mike McLaughlin – Dominican College, added two additional teams one boys and one girls.
Now in 2009, through the vision and leadership of James Miller, general manager of the state of the art ROCK facility in Bardonia, the New York Falcons program continues to grow and develop. James' vision is to leverage his world-class facility, expert trainer's and prime location to take the organization to the next level. This has led to Pat Buckley – Catholic University, Jim McLaughlin – Utica College and Kevin Houston – Army, announcing that they are adding elite teams to the program.

Ron Davies was a genius of rhyme and melody. He has been described by his peers as the "quintessential poet" and the "songwriter's writer." John Hadley (a music professor at the University of Oklahoma) was quoted as saying, "I separate the world into two kinds of people, the ones that get Ron Davies and the ones that don't."
Born in Shreveport, Louisiana (the oldest son of country singer Tex Dickerson), Ron was influenced by songwriters like Hank Williams, but he also loved the music of Blind Lemon Jefferson and classical guitarist Andrés Segovia. Ron spent his early years living in the South, until his parents separated, and he moved with his two siblings to Washington State. Ron's last name was changed when his mother remarried, and he was adopted by his kind and loving stepfather, Darby Davies, who bought him his first guitar. Ron's songs often reflect his love of the Pacific Northwest, and yet a longing to get "Back To The South."
By the time Ron was seventeen, he had written an album's worth of stellar songs for a Seattle based band called The Wailers, along with a regional hit single entitled "It's You Alone." Ron's unique style of singing and writing (referred to by Joan Baez as a cross between Bob Dylan and John Lennon) caught the attention of A&M record executives in California. Ron was signed to a recording contract in 1968 and released his first solo album, which he called "Silent Song Through The Land," featuring nine of his original compositions including the blues standard "It Ain't Easy." As a side note, the angelic harmony vocals on this album were sung by Ron's beautiful young wife, Vicki Lynn Davies, who was his singing partner from 1962 to 1974, as well as the mother of his two daughters.
Ron's career received a major boost in 1970 when Three Dog Night recorded "It Ain't Easy" and made it the title of their album. Although often miscredited to Ray Davies from The Kinks (Ron displayed his wry sense of humor when he asked his publisher to take some of The Kinks out of his copyright), "It Ain't Easy" gained international fame when a British artist by the name of David Bowie recorded it on his RCA album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars."
It wasn't long before Ron Davies' songs were in demand and being recorded by such iconic artists as Long John Baldry, Dave Edmunds, Joe Cocker, Anne Murray, Dobie Gray, Bettye LaVette, Chris Smithers, Glenn Yarbrough, Merry Clayton, Mitch Ryder and Steppenwolf's John Kay, to name a few. Australian born pop singer Helen Reddy recorded what would later become one of Ron's signature songs entitled "Long Hard Climb" and made it the title of her 1973 platinum selling album. This song was also recorded by Maria Muldaur on her 1974 Reprice album "Midnight On The Oasis."
With his newfound success, A&M decided to team Ron up with Grammy award winning engineer, Tommy Vicarri, to co-produce his album, "UFO." Enlisting the help of musicians Billy Preston, Wilton Felder, Andy Newmark, and The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar" girl Claudia Lennear, they created a critically acclaimed masterpiece that prompted Rock Magazine to declare Ron Davies "The Best New Songwriter of the Year."
Ron moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1985 to write for Cedarwood Publishing and later on in his career for Warner/Chappell Music. His talents were quickly recognized when Jerry Jeff Walker recorded "The Man He Used To Be" and two of his songs appeared on the Grammy nominated Joan Baez album "Play Me Backwards." Ron Davies' songs have also been recorded by Randy Travis, Nancy Griffith, Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill and Gail Davies, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Chris Scruggs, and Jack White & The Raconteurs.
Although not a professional actor, Ron Davies was cast as the lead character in the George Jones' video, "old Hard Truth," in 1999. He toured Europe with his sister, country singer Gail Davies, in 2002 and also appeared with her at The Kerrville Folk Festival. Inspired by the reaction he received from the audience (Ron received a standing ovation at the end of his performance) Ron returned to Nashville to record an introspective album entitled "Where Does The Time Go." Sadly, this would be the last album Ron would record. He died of a heart attack on October 30, 2003, leaving behind an amazing legacy of more than 500 songs.
Unsung Hero – A Tribute To The Music of Ron Davies, features 22 of Ron's finest compositions recorded by some of his favorite artists. This album is a must for any serious connoisseur of good music and poetry…
This tribute was produced and arranged by Gail Davies for Little Chickadee Productions
Proceeds from the sale of this album will benefit the W.O. Smith Music Schooland provide instruments and lessons for underprivileged children

Corporation to start crackdown on illegal parking spaces
The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) will start identifying unauthorised parking stretches that have created traffic congestion and will create new spaces for parking along many of the 471 bus routes and 40,000 interior roads.
Last week, the State government's Home Department had flagged the issue of rising number of illegal parking spaces along city roads and traffic congestion caused by the unauthorised parking of vehicles.
Currently, the civic body has earmarked 88 parking lots along roads such as G.N. Chetty Road in T. Nagar, Anna Nagar Second Avenue, Sardar Patel Road in Adyar and Second Line Beach Road. Many of the spaces have reduced because of Metro Rail construction in various parts. As a result many residents have complained about traffic congestion caused by unauthorised vehicle parking in many stretches. Last year, proposals were already made to increase the number of parking slots by 100% by the GCC.
Following the direction by the State government about the need for reducing traffic congestion, the civic body has planned to initiate measures to increase parking lots. According to estimates, more than 500 locations around the city have registered traffic congestion because of illegal parking.
The civic body is planning to study the pattern of complaints received from motorists and residents on helpline 1913. Residents have been requested to call helpline 1913 to complain about unauthorised parking along roads so that the GCC can asses the civic issues caused by such instances.
DMK councillor Parithi Illamsuruthi said traffic congestion was reported in Purasawalkam and on Letangs Road near CSI Ewart School because of unauthorised parking of vehicles. "Traffic congestion has also increased in Brick Kiln Road because of encroachments and illegal parking," he said.

Review: First Cow
Director: Kelly Reichardt
Stars: John Magaro, Orion Lee, Toby Jones
Under the thumb of lockdown for months on end, one of the pervasive trends to sweep the UK has been a renewed interest in home cooking and baking. With restaurants and bakeries shuttered for months on end, social media networks became flooded with sourdoughs, farmhouse loaves and homemade pizzas. This culinary appetite strikes a cord with the return of Kelly Reichardt and her new offering First Cow – a great 'foodie' film.
Cookie Figowitz (John Magaro) is a cook travelling with Oregon fur trappers. He happens upon King-Lu (Orion Lee), a Chinese man with whom he strikes up a keen and enduring friendship. The two homestead together and talk wistfully of their dreams of becoming rich or, at least, wealthy enough to pursue their goals freely. When a wealthy landowner brings the first cow to the region, they spy a moneymaking opportunity. Sneaking onto the property at night to steal her milk, they begin making 'oily cakes' that prove popular with the hungry local settlers.
This is Reichardt's first period piece since her acclaimed 2010 western Meek's Cutoff and, like that film, she chooses to shoot in 1.37:1. Period drama suits her gentle and poetic style and editing, which favours contemplative slowness in keeping with a more steadily paced way of living. All her movies have an earthen, grassroots feel, and First Cow is no exception.
Cookie's flavoursome cakes and sweet deep-fried delicacies aren't the only choice foodstuffs presented here. We meet him picking wild mushrooms (weaving this film into an imagined loose trilogy with Phantom Thread and Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled); squirrels make good game; he stumbles in a stream catching salmon; blueberries are discovered. And, in an ironic turn, Cookie's cakes earn him a job catering for the prosperous landowner Chief Factor (Toby Jones) whose very milk they've been stealing. King-Lu goes from goading Cookie into their sneaky endeavour to predicting its downfall, labeling their gambit a "dangerous game".
But throughout there is a sense of the importance of food in these peoples' lives. The fur trappers – portrayed as humorously cantankerous imbeciles – complain of their empty stomachs endlessly. Cookie is prideful of his skills and with reason; his cakes do so please the locals. And the having of milk is such a luxury in this story, weaving together the richness of how people eat with the depth of their pockets.
In this there's a clear political bent to the tale, one that chimes with the economic disparity examined in Bong Joon-Ho's mega-hit Parasite, but Reichardt's film has other rich thematic meats to chew over, some of which dovetail back into her own exemplary filmography. In charting a friendship between two nomadic men often holed up in leafy, isolated locales, it sings as a companion piece to her sophomore film Old Joy. The simple value of brotherhood is the heart of the film (when separated, Cookie's first question on waking is where his friend is). If Reichardt's last – the masterpiece Certain Women – was a quietly stirring feminist piece; First Cow waxes lyrical of the bonds between men… along with their hubris. The film opens with Alia Shawkat's dog-walker stumbling upon two skeletons at the bank of a river. This framing device casts a cloud over the story that follows, feathering a sense of inevitability that marries with King-Lu's warnings.
First Cow also continues a conversation that Reichardt began in Meek's Cutoff over how white pioneers interacted with the indigenous and with persons of colour. There are no tensions of race between Cookie and King-Lu – their friendship is too pure for that – but later on when we're invited into the home of Chief Factor, we find him entertaining native guests with his wife (Lily Gladstone) acting as translator. There's a subtle tension to these scenes, as well as those that feature Factor's indigenous servants. Early in the film, King-Lu speaks of America as an opportunity for rebirth and to write new histories on their own terms. It's a moment cast into shade by our extant knowledge of the county the USA has become; a land persistently steeped in racism and white privilege. The relations we see in First Cow are positioned on a knife-edge.
Whilst the arrival of a new Kelly Reichardt film is always a joy, A24's decision to release First Cow to home streaming services comes with a great pang of disappointment, too. Not for the film; it's as good as it's filmmaker's reputation. Instead for the sense of it's distributor having blinked too soon. I was very much looking forward to the opportunity to see this film in a cinema; something that now seems incredibly unlikely outside of some future retrospective. It speaks of the long-term problems the US and UK are currently facing with COVID-19 and the collective sense of tentativeness we're all feeling over going back to old rituals having settled into this 'new normal'. I miss the cinema and this would've been lovely there.
Still, if you're hands are floury from kneading in the kitchen and you're looking for respite while the dough rises, there are plenty of small joys to be had with First Cow at home.

Mad Chess is a game information page. It is categorized as: Orthodox chess, .
Why don't the Crazy Footsoldiers or the Mad Infantrymen promote?
That Mad Chess was 'extensively commented'? Seven comments: discount the first by inventor himself. Second comment says in a few words that it makes chess 'unisexual.' Better 3rd and 4th comments do not seem to be aware of Betza's Chess Different Armies. That 4th compares the pieces among themselves; I have tried to add comparisons far and wide among disconnected large CVs. 5th comment cites Betza at last. 6th comment ridiculously compares Mad Chess to Ultima. 7th comment for 'F+' generally pans chess-unequal-armies types. Moderately commented back then, Mad Chess deserves some attention for some interesting pieces.
Actually, this was commented on heavily during the 100 squares contest as part of the voting -- see 100 squares votes for details.
'MNO,LargeCV': Without Comment 5 years, Chess-unequal-sides game should cite Betza's Chess Different Armies, once called Chess Unequal Armies. Contrast 100 squares here to Wittman's recent 6-square Dueling Archbishops and 9-square Knight Court. Under eleven(11)squares are rare and some sizes thankfully nonexistent. White's pieces include Jester(=Marshall) not to be confused with Jester Chess Jester or King's Court Jester; General(N+D+A) dated before 1683 from Italy in Archchess as 'Centurion', called 'Squirrel' in 20th Century; Dragon as (Q + Trebuchet(0,3)); Crazy Footsoldier and Valkyrie both having their move and capture different, as in earlier(1999) Divergent Chess, which established a short-lived trend. Black's all different pieces from White's include Warlord(N + Trebuchet); 'divergent types' Berserker [not Battle Chieftain's Berserker] and Mad Infantryman; Spectre(Q + Tripper(3,3)). Altogether not bad, but with sake of clarity would avoid divergent move/capture pieces where already pieces are distinct between W & B. Yet these two could well be plugged into Ralph Betza's list with across-the-board weakening, such as Mad Chess 'pawns'(See rules).

Underappreciated actors – James Woods
September 16, 2014 stubarr70cop, fast walking, james woods, john carpenter's vampires, once upon a time in america, Salvador, the hard way, videodrome Leave a comment
So another in another regular blog feature I give you the first in an ongoing series on the great under-appreciated actors of our time. I'm going to start with an easy one, the great Jimmy Woods who played the character from whom this blog gets it's name.
Underappreciated? Really? We all love getting a little Wood don't we (Padre)?
"Hey, don't jerk me around"
I intend to range far and wide with this series, some will be cult favourites, some will be character actors, some simply need introducing to new movie fans. Woods is a little different, yes he is a cult favorite with a lot of strange little movies on his CV, but he's also starred in studio pictures, and has developed a public persona so well known he has parodied himself on both The Simpsons and Entourage. And yet, Woods has never quite fit in to the square jawed, all American blandness required for most leading roles, with his diminutive, skinny frame, he isn't the stereotypical action guy either. Hollywood just doesn't develop the kind of films in the mainstream that suit him, which is why his best roles are in smaller independent films and genre fare.
"Have you ever heard of the little Lindberg law?"
So what makes Woods so great. Well let's start with the fact that the guy is a FANTASTIC actor. He was a jobbing actor in theatre and TV throughout the seventies, clocking up appearences in the likes of The Rockford Files, Kojak and The Streets of San Francisco. His breakthrough film roles came with 1979's The Onion Field and 1982's Fast Walking. These two roles in many ways defined his screen persona.
The Onion Field is a dark crime drama based on Joeseph Wambaugh's true crime novel. In it Woods played Karl Hettinger, a small time criminal who abducts two L.A.P.D. detectives and attempts to murder them. Woods portrays Hettinger as man living only in the moment, without any moral compass, you truly believe that he is capable of anything. The scene were he and his accomplice drive the two detectives into the middle of nowhere is chilling. Woods eyes bug out of his skull, he is mesmerising, like a snake hypnotising it's prey.
Fast Walking is directed by James B. Harris who produced some of Kubrick's early films and would direct Woods again in Cop. The film itself is less successful than The Onion Field, but Woods is great in it playing a corrupt prison guard. This is the first great example of Woods' signature type of role, the morally compromised, fast talking, sleazebag.
"I'm looking for something that will break through, y'know"
So you are a young actor, people are taking notice, what sort of screenplay do you chose to consolidate your success? If you are Jimmy Woods you choose David Cronenberg's completely out-there Videodrome (1983). Woods says it was Cronenberg that sold him on the project saying the director under his civilised veneer has "one of the strangest minds I've ever encountered". In Videodrome Woods plays Max Renn the proprietor of the low rent cable porn channel. Even amongst the craziest Rick Backer makeup FX, and given Cronenberg's often bizarre and intellectual dialogue, Woods keeps the character's humanity always visible. Cronenberg has said he got on very well with Woods, but also says he is the only actor he has ever yelled at on a set. "He used to drive me crazy before a take, eventually I said 'Jimmy just go out there and do the fucking lines'. Now normally you wouldn't say that to an actor but jimmy just said 'oh, okay'. He wanted that, it's why I cast him, a kind of dangerous, paranoid intellectualism".
"We do our fucking business together and fucking broads do not get in the way!"
From Cronenberg to Sergio Leone, Woods took the part of Max in the Italian director's prohibition era epic of Jewish gangsters in New York Once Upon A Time In America (1984). Woods considers this film to be Leone's best work, a point that can be argued, but it is certainly one of the absolute classics of the genre.
has risen in reputation with a new restored four hour plus version premiering at this years Cannes Film Festival.
"Okay you got a point, I am a fucking weasel, there's no doubt about that."
And here it is, the pinnacle of Woods career, the role for which he was Oscar nominated (he should have won) journalist Richard Boyle in Oliver Stone's Salvador (1986). This part was tailor made for Woods, Boyle is a sleazy low-life journalist, a womaniser, drug user and drunk. Boyle's experiences in El Salvador covering the civil war awaken his conscience as leftist peasant revolutionaries rise up against the brutal right-wing military regime only to be crushed when the US backs the military.
Woods gives the performance of a lifetime, burning with intensity in every scene although the standout is perhaps his fury when he observes revolutionaries executing prisioners. Where other actors would wail the line "You've become just like them" Woods snarls like a ferret caught in a trap.
"You blow away a broad's date, the least you can do is drive her home"
All the above at the performances that get mentioned in Wikipedia entries and awards ceremony intros. However some of my very favourite Woods performances come in his cultier films, some of which (Vampires) are actually pretty useless movies. Here are a few personal favorites…
A ropey adaptation of a great early pulp novel by James Ellroy. The film badly mangles Ellroy's plot, but Woods absolutely nails his psychotic detective hero Lloyd Hopkins. As I have said before, Woods is not the most physically imposing man, but when he turns the dial up to 11 (as he frequently does here) it is like standing behind a jet engine at take off. This film also contains on of my favorite kiss-off lines of all time. Woods approached and injured punk with a shotgun. The punk pleads that he can't shoot him. Woods looks at him coldly and says "well there's some good news, and some bad news. The good news is yes, I'm a cop and I gotta take you in." He ratchets a shell. "The bad news is, I'm suspended and I don't give a fuck". BOO-YAA.
Best Seller is actually a terrific movie, and ripe for rediscovery. Directed by John Flynn who made the fantastic Rolling Thunder, the script is by genre legend Larry Cohen (It's Alive, Q the winged serpent). The film is a buddy movie with a great premise. Brian Dennehy is a retired cop writting crime novels, he is hired by Cleve (Woods) to ghost write his memoirs. Cleve is a hitman who is sick of the lack of respect he gets from his employers and craves validation. Of course Cleve's employers don't want the book written and will do anything to keep his story under wraps. Woods and Dennehy have terrific chemistry, and Woods manages to make you love his character, a frankly insane killer. The line "you forgot to flush" after killing someone in a bathroom is bad enough for Arnie, but Woods makes it sing.
John Carpenter's Vampires (1998)
In John Carpenter's filmography Vampires is one of his most unsung entries. And with good reason as it is almost entirely unremarkable. It has TV movie level action, a dull plot and a really rubbish bad guy. However Woods brings his A-game to the lead role of Vatican appointed vampire killer Jack Crow. Crow leads a band of vampire slayers a who track down and liquidate vampire nests. Working during the day, the spear the vampires with crossbow mounted harpoons and pull them into the daylight to be incinerated. The team's latest mission goes very wrong when they fail to locate the vampire "master" when liquidating a nest. Later that night the head vamp brutally kills most of the team and only Crow, his second in command (Daniel Baldwin), a rookie priest and a hooker escape. Pairing Woods against the hulking Baldwin makes the actor look even more physically puny than ever, something accentuated by his fitted leather jacket. However Woods plays Crow as a snarling pit-bull, spitting out and endless succession of profane and often blasphemous dialogue, perpetually furious.
"Garlic? You wanna try garlic? You could stand there with garlic around your neck and one of these buggers will bend you fucking over and take a walk up your strada-chocolata WHILE he's suckin' the blood outta your neck, all right?"
Vampires is a rubbish film, but Woods is on fire in it.
Other notable roles and cameos
It's a pretty cheesy early 90s action film, but you should check out Woods in John Badham's 1991 buddy thriller The Hard Way, Woods plays a basically insane head-case homicide detective forced to baby-sit a pampered Hollywood actor researching a part. Michael J. Fox plays the actor and Woods sends himself up nicely. Woods is pretty goddamn scary as serial killer Carl 'Kill em all' Panzram in TV movie Killer: A Journal of Murder (1995), nicely sleazy in Scorsese's Casino (1995), and chilling as a racist killer in Rob Reiner's Ghosts of Mississippi (1996). However by the mid nineties the leading roles turned into character parts, with more substantial roles in TV movies. He had a run as the lead in the TV series Shark (2006-2008) playing a slick but sleazy lawyer, but the show was a run of the mill knock off of House.
However his appearance on The Simpsons is one of the all time best celebrity cameos. James Woods turns up in Springfield to research a role as a shopkeeper, he gets Apu's job running the Quik-e-mart and turns in a typically intense performance.

Do Affiliate Marketing offer a suitable marketing strategy for every e-commerce shop? There may be a frequent issue that concerns any company like you when it is informed about affiliate marketing and needs to find a way to enhance its work. It becomes clear to me the more I am studying that it is not necessary to set up a partner programme.
But affiliate marketing is able to make your current problems better and simpler. Just think of your shop operating because you haven't yet learned about affiliate marketing. They are still selling goods and making great efforts to build a great promotional programme to increase your revenue.
Quite the opposite, affiliate marketing is an opposite one. This is why the affiliate programme will help you develop your sales power, known as affiliates. But what is the point of why affiliates always try the best to work for you, and what is the incentive to convince clients to make a buy by recommending the affiliate?
Frequently asked question are the highlight you only see here, the advantageous relation in affiliate marketing. Affiliates get an amount of commission, which is the rewards name, while the referrals get favourite articles with the significant rebate and have the right to be an affiliate to make cash. For you in particular, the turnover comes not only from the sale of normally sold goods, but also from the sale of affiliates.
Consequently, affiliate marketing has an impact on your sales through the efficiency of the affiliate networking. What is the best way to set up a strong affiliate ecosystem? The recruitment of affiliates is quite complex, but it is a fast way to extend your affiliate networking, and it has a strong impact on your affiliate programme. Do not put yourself in a position of passivity, but try to make contacts and encourage others to join your group.
You can also at the same address urge your affiliate members to attract more sub-affiliates for their members. Generating an affiliate bonus is the basis for your affiliate programme. It must, however, be clear, uncomplicated and easily understandable and contain the necessary information, such as what to do, how it works and how much is spent.
Below is the example of Amazon, which shows how you can earn a living by promoting Amazon related people. I think one of the useful ways to help you attracting as many affiliates as possible is to increase the range of your affiliate programme, and that means you need to support your own programme.
A few proposals I am offering you, you can publicize the programme on community forums by embedding a pop-up flag that introduces the affiliate programme whenever there is a new inscription. However, don't neglect to use your available affiliate canal from the affiliates already in place to solicit. Awareness of this fact increases the number of new affiliate members joining your affiliate group.
Affiliate Marketing Needed? So, bring you back to the key issue, you may find affiliate programming not really necessary to enhance your earnings, but it will help you reach the company's goal quickly and simply. Using the above check list, you will find that affiliate marketing fits your expectations.

Tragically, the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund will be cutting remaining payouts by as much as 70 percent for some claimants. The Fund has already granted tens of thousands of awards, and still has tens of thousands more pending. In fact, NPR reports a recent surge in people applying to the fund.
The VCF has paid out about $5 billion of its roughly $7.3 billion funding authorized by Congress, according to NBC News. The $5 billion in compensation was awarded to about 21,000 people and there are about 19,000 additional, unpaid claims to address, according to NPR. The VCF says, in light of dwindling money, pending claims will get paid out at 50 percent of their previous value. Any claims processed after this past February 1 will get paid out at a mere 30 percent of their previous value.
"Never Forget the Heroes" Bill Considered By Congress
This bill could have the effect of a "permanent" funding reauthorization. It would fund the VCF through the year 2090, which would make it last as long as the World Trade Center Health Program, which provides medical care to eligible claimants. By 2090, based on age, one would assumes that very few people if any would continue to be affected by 9/11-related illnesses or death of family members who were sickened.
The bill is supported by numerous members of Congress. The bill was introduced in the House by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-NY12, and in the Senate by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
Comedian, entertainer and former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart is a passionate advocate of the VCF. He lobbied Congress in 2015 to renew the bill – he and many others led the charge, including John Feal, a first responder and founder of the FealGood Foundation. Together, this dedicated group pushed Congress to renew the VCF, which resulted in the current funding through 2020. But now Congress needs to act again and permanently fund it.
What You Should Do If You Think You May Qualify for Compensation
Don't put the brakes on the process in light of this news. It remains to be seen whether the VCF will be renewed. Call our attorneys to find out if you're eligible and what you should do to apply. There may still be compensation awards available to first responders and survivors who have developed cancer, respiratory illnesses or other qualifying diseases related to their proximity to lower Manhattan on 9/11/2001, or their presence at the Pentagon or Shanksville, PA, crash sites.
At Eisbrouch Marsh, we have been filing these claims for years now. We're happy to review the details of your situation for free, no obligation involved. Our experienced lawyers will let you know what your options are.
Many cancers have long latency periods, so the toxic dust cloud that blanketed New York on 9/11 will continue to sicken and kill people in the years ahead. Unfortunately, certain people will receive unexpected diagnoses related to the terrorist attack 17 years ago. If you or a family member has a related illness, you deserve full, complete, fair compensation and proper medical care.

White-out conditions were reported in some areas.
DETROIT (WWJ) -- Snow squalls and slick road conditions arrived in Southeast Michigan Sunday evening, causing white-out conditions and treacherous driving conditions in some areas.
The National Weather Service in Detroit said early Sunday that light snow and possible bouts of freezing rain were expected to develop around 5 p.m. and last several hours, diminishing by midnight.
WWJ listeners reported white-out conditions to the Traffic Center.
The latest snowfall comes after a week of slightly warmer, drier weather, compared to the previous week that saw as many as eight inches of snow in some area and dangerously low wind chills.
The NWS says while the snow system is expected to be gone by the end of the night Sunday, another system is on its way. A storm is expected to dump 3-4" of snow in Detroit and the areas south and west of the city between Monday night and Wednesday morning. The counties to the north of Detroit could see 5-6" of snowfall, while areas even further north in the Thumb and Flint areas could see 6-7" by Wednesday morning.
In addition to the snowfall, a tenth of an inch of ice or more is expected, making for dangerous driving conditions.
Stay tuned to WWJ Newsradio for the latest on the traffic and weather together, every 10 minutes on the :08's. >> LISTEN HERE!

Time to purchase a Palin bumper-sticker
Obama is pulling American troops out of Afghanistan. Or at least he says he is. He also said that American forces in Iraq are no longer there. Officially, the Iraq war is over, at least if you ignore the fighting. So where are the 45,000 soldiers based in Iraq if not in, well, Iraq?
According to a Brookings Institution report from late May, they're in…Iraq.
Will the administration pull a similar act of verbal prestidigitation to keep troops in Afghanistan, given that they are the only barrier between Hamid Karzai's unpopular government and the Taliban? If you read the press, Obama is heading for the exit:
USA Today, June 22:
"President Obama heralded the beginning of the end of the nation's 10-year war in Afghanistan on Wednesday…."
New York Times headline, June 23:
"Obama Will Speed Military Pullout From Afghan War"
The Obama plan for Afghanistan, which may succumb to delays similar to the Iraqi pullout, calls for 33,000 soldiers to depart by September next year with the rest withdrawn at the end of 2014. If you believe that will happen on schedule, send me a check for $100 and I'll sell you a new Rolls-Royce.
"Obama is taking the advice that LBJ ignored, but with a twist: He is declaring both victory and withdrawal without achieving either."
Only a few antiwar groups and media critics have pointed out the obvious: Since he became president, the Nobel Peace Prize winner has tripled the number of US troops in Afghanistan. From 34,000 soldiers in theater when he assumed office, he raised the total to 100,000 by 2010. Last year was also the one in which the cost of Afghan combat rose above that in Iraq.
Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting pointed out that with 100,000 troops and another 100,000 security contractors (whom Karzai is seeking to expel) in Afghanistan, "it's hard to read a phased pullout of 30,000 out of 200,000 over the course of an entire year as a 'rapid' withdrawal." This excludes 80,000 to 90,000 support troops in nearby countries. Yet if the media prove willing to describe such a mild pullback as a "withdrawal," American voters may accept that the war in Afghanistan, like that in Iraq, is over. It won't matter that the locals go on killing one another and American troops stand by to intervene when necessary.
Obama knows how to defuse antiwar sentiment. When pundits advised Lyndon Johnson to declare victory and leave Vietnam, LBJ didn't listen and became too unpopular to stand for a second full term in 1968. Obama is taking the advice that LBJ ignored, but with a twist: He is declaring both victory and withdrawal without achieving either.
"Now, last night," Obama told soldiers at Fort Drum, New York, the day after his June 22 policy announcement, "I gave a speech in which I said that we had turned a corner where we can begin to bring back some of our troops." He did not say where and how that corner was turned, but the Obama Corner may be as elusive as Vietnam's "light at the end of the tunnel." No one who has spent time recently in Afghanistan believes for a moment that the Taliban is weaker or operates in a smaller territory than it did a year ago.
So it goes in Iraq and Afghanistan. What about Libya? Our humanitarian interventionists, who maintain as Hillary Clinton did that the war in Afghanistan is about building schools, are ignoring legal advice that the War Powers Act requires the president to seek Congressional approval for further engagement. The UN resolution empowered NATO to protect civilians; but France, Britain, and the US have gone one giant leap further and are now trying to force a regime change in Tripoli. Civilians are dying in greater numbers, and Gaddafi is holding out. Does that mean the US and its allies will go deeper into Libya, as they did in Afghanistan, until things are exactly as they want them? How long will that take, and how much will it cost? America's mayors, who just voted a resolution calling for a withdrawal of money spent on foreign wars and diverted to their crumbling cities, would like to know the answer.

5 Homemade Christmas Gifts that are Crowd-Pleasers!
It's that time of year and I can hardly believe it! I have always loved Thanksgiving and savor every moment of the time with food, friends, and family. Although I have never been a fan of Black Friday, I do consider Thanksgiving as a sort of panic-moment reminder to kick myself into gear with my gift list. I've shared some great ideas for kids as well as suggestions for adults, but now I want to share some of my very favorite homemade Christmas gifts from across the web!
There is just something about the time and love that go into crafting something for a loved one that speaks to the heart of the Christmas season. I think it is truly the thought that counts for homemade gifts, but some of the tutorials can be expensive, time-consuming or overly-complicated. (Let's face it, the average Niconail reader may not be a Pinterest Princess or an Etsy Seller; I know I'm not.)

Chalkboard Coasters: We made these a couple years ago (during my No Shop December Challenge) and they were really well-received.

Our family prefers to use a double layered 10″ by 10″ square formed with two contrasting fabrics in 100% cotton.

Not only were they seeds of plants that I haven't grown, but I bought from somebody that I haven't tried before: Onalee seeds. Onalee appears to be a very small operation: two people. On her website (which can use an update) Onalee says that "Neither of us are 'professional' gardeners or even a master gardeners, we're just regular gardeners and plant lovers sharing the flowers and plants that we love and that we find easy to grow..." Sounds like me!
It's a form of castor bean that is a bit difficult to find right now. I saw some of these plants growing locally this past year and thought they were so much more attractive than the 'Carmencita' castor bean plants I've been growing -- I'm not a big fan of the fluorescent red seed pods on 'Carmencita'. After some research I found out that these plants are 'New Zealand Purple', or as Onalee calls them, 'Purple'.
Whatever they're called I jumped at the opportunity to buy some seeds!
These appear to have been printed on an inkjet printer, which supports the fact that this is a small operation. I'm not criticizing -- I love these packets!
Since Onalee offers free shipping on orders over $6, I added a second seed packet to my order to get me over that total: Senna alata.
Again, something I've not tried before (and another BIG plant!). Cool seeds, and the host plant for some butterfly caterpillars.
I'm going to get a few castor bean and Cassia seeds started right away to see how quickly they grow and to ensure I have some bigger plants earlier in the season. The others will wait for another couple of months for it to warm up before I start them.
So here's another seed company that I'll add to my list for future purchases -- although since her selection isn't as large as bigger seed companies I probably won't be needing to buy from her again. I definitely would though.
Now, time to soak some seeds!
Had a good giggle how you went from buying one pack of seeds to four! I love how Onalee have packaged their seeds with the info on the packs - I wish my online seed suppliers did that. Very nice!
I've ordered seeds from Onalee before and remember loving those packets!
Those are some gorgeous seeds.


This is a high end luxurious and stunning design by MOWO Studio, a designer of one off pieces based in Poland. The time and effort put into the folding and stitching of the polyester felt must of been very time consuming and its that effect combined with the pleated and gathered corners what sets this piece off. The color and the design place it firmly in the modern furniture sector and you will not find pieces of this quality in 99% of shops that you visit. This is true art in the form of a chair, inspired by attire and tailoring its a great attempt of breaking the furniture trends that most seem to follow and leaning towards the fashion sector and making what is normally a boring 2 dimensional object into a 3d wonder with an ornate curved shape.
The tassels not only act as an attractive design element but also as a way to adjust the positioning of the seat by tightening and loosening the tassels to lower or raise the chairs back. Given that the felt is positioned onto the chairs metal frame via the pockets, the material might be removable which would be a great feature. If the worst was to happen and someone spills some coffee onto the material you could think about getting it professionally dry cleaned.
Most ideas for chairs have all been done but has this? I think not!

Q: Does MATLAB allow a uicontrol button to be placed within a cell in a uitable? I want to place a uicontrol button in each row of a uitable. Does MATLAB have the native functionality for this, or do I need to use Java/HTML?

A: As far as I know, this is not possible using standard MATLAB. You can use the CellSelectionCallback and CellEditCallback of the uitable together with the MouseClickedCallback of the corresponding uitablepeer to provide a button-like functionality for standard table cells. See this thread for more infor on the MouseClickedCallback.
An easier way is probably to use Java tables right from the beginning if your setup allows it.

LFA Receiving Positive Responses from Key Stakeholders Impacting Hydroxychlorquine Supply during Coronavirus Pandemic
Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) and chloroquine (Aralen) are medications that tens of thousands of Americans living with lupus rely on to prevent disability, illness or early death. Both medications have emerged as potential treatments for the coronavirus (COVID-19) and clinical trials are underway to determine their safety and effectiveness for use in treating COVID-19. While it is important to investigate their potential use for this purpose, it is critical that people with lupus never lose access to them.
Unfortunately, many people with lupus nationwide are unable to access these much-needed treatments altogether or they are facing other significant obstacles filling their prescriptions.
From the moment the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) became aware of these challenges, we sprang into action and began implementing extensive advocacy and communications strategies to address them as fast as possible, including conducting outreach to all of the different stakeholders that can help to ensure the availability of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for people with lupus.
As we've led the way in actively working to address these challenges, we have received positive responses from federal and state officials and other key stakeholders, including the manufacturers of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, state boards of pharmacy, health plans, pharmacies and pharmacists, and physicians – all of who can play a role in helping to ensure people with lupus have access to the medications they need.
For example, several of the manufacturers of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine we have reached out to have publicly announced they are increasing drug supplies or making commitments to donate the medications to the federal government in order to increase their supply and availability, and to mitigate shortages. This includes Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Mylan, Novartis/Sandoz, Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Amneal and others.
We also have encouraged the government to work with the pharmaceutical industry to increase supply. On Sunday, March 29, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization to allow hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine donated to the U.S. government to be used in treating COVID-19. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) followed with a statement specifically noting that this action will help ensure these drugs are available to people with lupus. While it's still unclear what the full impact of the government's action will be, it is a step in the right direction to address supply of these medications.
Members of Congress also are taking action as Congress passed legislation that includes key provisions to allow patients to receive emergency supplies of their medications, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We are working with members of Congress to take additional steps in support of the lupus community, a community that is speaking out loud and clear.
Last week, we issued a call to action that empowered lupus advocates to contact Congress and urge them to address the challenges faced by the lupus community. Within just a few days, lupus advocates sent more than 115,000 emails to their members of Congress!
We also have received positive feedback and have seen action in response to outreach we conducted last week when we sent a joint letter to state boards of pharmacy, the 50 state governors, insurance companies and other key stakeholders. We are pleased to report that more than 15 states (as of 3.30.20) have taken action to help preserve access for people with lupus. Others, such as organizations representing the nation's health plans, pharmacies and pharmaceutical industry have echoed our calls to mitigate shortages and advance policies that meet the needs of people with lupus and others who depend on these medications.
It is clear that our message is being heard, but there is much more that needs to be done. In the days and weeks ahead, we will continue to work hard to address all of the barriers people with lupus are facing during the coronavirus pandemic, and we will attack them from every direction so that no person with lupus has to go without the care and medications they need.

Homemade gnocchi, or little Italian dumplings, can seem like an ambitious dish if you've never tried to make them before. But once you transform the humble potato into these fluffy, sauce-soaking pillows of dough you'll never look back. It's important to use a floury potato for this dish, and to avoid boiling the potatoes as too much water will make the dough sticky and bullet-like gnocchi will result. Instead, steam the potatoes and use fingertips when rolling for a feather-light result that will have everyone sniffing round for seconds.
Bring a saucepan of water with a steamer insert to the boil. Peel and chop the potatoes into even pieces and steam for 15 minutes or until tender.
Remove steamer from saucepan and allow steam to evaporate from potatoes as they cool slightly. Mash the potato into a bowl or use a potato ricer and set aside to cool completely.
Season the cooled potatoes with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the egg yolks until well distributed. Mix the flour throughto form a dough.
Dust a clean work surface with flour. Using your fingertips for a gentle touch, roll a quarter of the dough at a time into long sausage shapes about 3cm diameter.
Slice each sausage of dough diagonally into pieces of approximately 2cm wide, using a sharp knife.
In small batches, place the cut dumpling pieces into a colander with a sprinkle of extra flour and shake to soften the edges, or roll over the tines of a fork to create ridges. Set aside gnocchi on a tray, without pieces touching.
Bring a saucepan of water to boil and salt. Cook the gnocchi in 2 batches, removing the cooked gnocchi from the water with a slotted spoon when it floats to the surface of the water.
In a frying pan, melt the butter stirring in the sage leaves just before it has completely melted. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter darkens to light brown and the sage start to go crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir gnocchi through the butter sauce and serve with a generous topping of freshly grated Parmesan.
For a lighter sauce, serve gnocchi with a fresh tomato and basil passata or pesto.
You can also prepare your gnocchi ahead of time and freeze uncooked on a baking paper lined tray, well spaced, before storing frozen in a zip-lock bag. Simply add frozen gnocchi to boiling water when ready to cook.
