MIL-OSI USA: Gianforte Recognizes Buffy Smith of Helena With Spirit of Montana Commendation
Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Greg Gianforte (Montana)
During Computer Science Education Week, Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) recognized Buffy Smith of Helena for her dedication to educating Montana students and for encouraging more young people, particularly young women, to study computer science and other STEM fields.
An educator for 27 years, Buffy is breaking down barriers, paving the way for female and minority students to find their way into computer science. With her commitment to her students and her knowledge of computer science, Buffy has created an all-inclusive approach to the subject. She prioritizes encouraging students to work with others who have different views and thus enhance the outcome of a project.
Gianforte's Spirit of Montana is a weekly recognition of Montanans for their accomplishments, dedication, or service. Gianforte highlights the recipient in the U.S. House of Representatives and personally contacts the honorees.
Gianforte encourages anyone to nominate Montanans for the Spirit of Montana award by contacting his office at 202-225-3211 or by email at https://gianforte.house.gov/contact/email.
Gianforte's statement in the Congressional Record follows:
RECOGNIZING BUFFY SMITH OF HELENA
Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Buffy Smith of Helena for encouraging female students to study computer science and for emphasizing the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.
Buffy grew up in and graduated high school in Gardiner. She then went to Carroll College where she majored in English and minored in Computer Science. Following her undergraduate studies, she earned a secondary high school teaching endorsement in computer science. It was there she found her call to teach.
As an educator for 27 years, Buffy is breaking down barriers, paving the way for female and minority students to find their way into computer science.
This year, Buffy received the National Educator Award from the National Center for Women and Information Technology. The award honors educators who encourage underrepresented students to participate in computer science. Buffy won statewide awards in 2014, 2015, and 2017.
When Buffy began teaching, she thought she would focus mostly on academics. Years later, she came to believe the relationships developed in the classroom are as critical.
With her commitment to her students and her knowledge of computer science, Buffy has created an all-inclusive approach to the subject. She prioritizes encouraging students to work with others who have different views and thus enhance the outcome of a project.
Buffy mentors girls in her class and encourages them to explore computer science and technology careers. She says, as with her classroom, computer science and other STEM fields can only improve with greater diversification.
Madam Speaker, for her dedication to educating Montana students and for encouraging more young people, particularly young women, to study computer science and other STEM fields, I recognize Buffy Smith of Helena for her Spirit of Montana.

Isabel Egenton Ostrande (1885-1924), who also wrote as "Robert Orr Chipperfield," "David Fox," and "Douglas Grant," wrote Ashes to Ashes (1919). Dorothy Sayers calls it "...an almost unique example of the detective story told from the point of view of the hunted rather than the hunter."
The Notorious Sophie Lang (1925) -- Charles Honce tells us "Sophie's real life counterpart was a famous New York woman thief. She purchased many copies of the book." The Notorious Sophie Lang was a series of related short stories.
Deputy Parr of the New York police appeared in both series, then was given a series of his own beginning in 1921.
The Book of Murder (1930) collects the Parr stories, which were originally published in The Saturday Evening Post. Haycraft writes that Anderson "has shown perhaps the greatest mastery of the American short detective story of any writer since Melville Davisson Post, whom he closely resembles in ingenuity, command of plot, and the carefully integrated backgrounds of his work" (Murder for Pleasure).
Octavus Roy Cohen (b. 1891- ). His detective (a "private agent") is Jim Hanvey. Hanvey is "Ponderous, uncouth, but ingratiating...." The Hanvey stories followed " 'slick' magazine formula-fiction" (Haycraft,Murder for Pleasure).
Ernest M. Poate created his detective, Dr. Bentiron. Willard Huntington Wright tells us, "...the figure of Dr. Bentiron -- an eccentric but lovable psychopathologist -- will long remain in the memory of those who make his acquaintance" (The Great Detective Stories).
James Hay, Jr. (1881-1936) created Jefferson Hastings.
Lee Thayer (b. 1874- ) created her detective Peter Clancy.
Hulbert Footner wrote about Madame Storey "a favorite of so particular and experienced a reader as Christopher Morley" (Murder for Pleasure).
Natalie Sumner Lincoln (1881-1935)-- "most of her numerous novels belong to the romance-mystery category; a few qualify as detection for its own sake" (Murder for Pleasure).
Vincent Starrett (b. 1886- ) "has produced from time to time some ingenious examples of plain and fancy sleuthing...." (Murder for Pleasure).
Ben Ames Williams (b. 1889- )"has written excellent tales which escape being detection by only a narrow margin" (Murder for Pleasure).
Arthur Somers Roche (1883-1935)-- his works resemble those of Louis Joseph Vance (who wrote about The Lone Wolf).
T.S. Stribling (b. 1881- ) wrote Clues of the Caribbees (1929), his "single and too little known volume of Poggioli tales" (Murder for Pleasure). Charles Honce says the concluding story "is positively thunderous; it will knock you right out of your seat."
Frances Noyes Hart (b. 1890- ). The Bellamy Trial (1927)was a day-by-day account of a murder trial; Hide in the Dark (1929) is "credited with popularizing the parlor game 'Murder' (or vice versa)" (Murder for Pleasure).
Willard Huntington Wright took the pseudonym "S.S. Van Dine" to produce a dozen Philo Vance novels. Haycraft tells us that Wright "rejuvenated and re-established the genre in his native land." For a few years Vance was "the best known fictional sleuth on the globe."
The Philo Vance books have great literacy and a high degree of verisimilitude, but he was "a developer, an adapter and polisher of other men's techniques, rather than a true innovator" (Murder for Pleasure).
Needs a kick in the pance"
The Benson Murder Case (1926)	was the first Philo Vance novel (though not Wright's first novel).
The Great Detectives (1927)	is "his notable anthology...with an analytical introduction which remains one of the finest pieces of detective criticism ever written" (Howard Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure).
The "Canary" Murder Case (1927)	was the second Vance investigation.
The Gracie Allen Murder Case (the second to last Vance book).
The Thin Man (1932)	-- the most popular of his works; "one of the first works to bring humor, and of a distinctly native brand, to the detective story in this country"; "As straightaway detective stories they can hold their own with the best"; "They established new standards for realism in the genre";- "...no other author of modern times -- certainly no other American -- has so basically changed and influenced the form" -- ( all of these quotes are from Howard Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure). William Powell and Myrna Loy made six films as "a couple who actually enjoyed marriage" (to paraphrase a comment Cecil B. Demille once made). A box set of the six films is available as The Complete Thin Man Film Collection on DVD.
Or you can get The Complete Hammett Novels	in one volume.
"Without him [Dashiell Hammett] there might not have been a regional mystery as clever as Percival Wilde's Inquest, or an ironic study as able as Raymond Postgate's Verdict of Twelve, or a savage piece of intellectual double-talk like Kenneth Fearing's The Dagger of the Mind, or a tragi-comic idealization of the murderer as in Donald Henderson's Mr. Bowling Buys a Newspaper, or even a gay and intriguing Hollywoodian gambol like Richard Sale's Lazarus No. 7" (Raymond Chandler, "The Simple Art of Murder") .
Ellery Queen is the name of both author and sleuth, who wrote "adventures in deduction" that are "entirely American in their idiom." The Ellery Queen tales are a successful blending of the Van Dine and Hammett schools. "The Queen stories...represent some of the most competent writing that has been done on this side of the water in the field of the deductive tale contrived for purely entertainment purposes" and "One of the most successful collaborations in contemporary writing" (Howard Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure). The name "Ellery Queen" is a pseudonym for cousins Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee (both b. 1905).
The Roman Hat Mystery (1929)	was their first of some forty books published under the Ellery Queen name.
"Ellery Queen has been uncovering murders and untangling mysteries with such suavity and sophistication that he has become one of the most popular fictional sleuths extant" (News-Week).
Dannay and Lee also created Drury Lane (detective); for this short series (which consisted of only four novels), they took the name "Barnaby Ross" as their pseudonym.
"Ellery Queen is to-day deservedly one of the two or three best known names in American detective fiction" (Howard Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure).
Challenge to the Reader (a Queen anthology) -- I, personally, love this book. In it, the Queens anthologize some classic detective stories. But they change the name of the author for each story, and they change the name of the detective. The challenge is for you, as a reader, to try to match the story with a well-known fictional detective and/or author (such as Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle). Even more stimulating for me is the fact that some authors who have been inaccessible are included (for example, the "Astro" tales that I had read so much about but was unable to find -- until I came across this anthology).
"The Queens' have never failed to give their multitude of followers honest merchandise" with an "absolutely logical" fair-play method of deduction (Haycraft, Murder for Pleasure).
Earl Derr Biggers (b. 1884) created Charlie Chan (his detective). Biggers had written a hugely successful mystery called Seven Keys to Baldpate (1913) (not a Chan).
The House Without a Key (1925)	was the first Chan book. There are no Chan short stories. In an age when we have become sensitive to stereotyping, some people may be offended by a discussion of a Chinese detective who was created by a caucasian man with no real knowledge of the Chinese culture or people. To place this in the context of the day, some Western writers were creating stories and characters out of pure ignorance and imagination. Oriental characters were often painted as sinister. Earl Derr Biggers reacted to this by creating the opposite type. I don't believe any malice was intended at the time -- many people simply lacked the awareness to question stereotypes and accepted whole cloth whatever ideas were circulating. Biggers said about his character, "Sinister and wicked Chinese are old stuff...but an amiable Chinese on the side of law and order had never been used." He also said, "If I understand Charlie Chan correctly, he has an idea that if you understand a man's character you can nearly predict what he is apt to do in any set of circumstances." Haycraft says the Charlie Chan stories are "clean, humorous, unpretentious, more than a little romantic, and -- it must be confessed -- just a shade mechanical and old-fashioned by modern plot standards" (Murder for Pleasure). By "modern plot standards," Haycraft was referring to the standards of the 1940s, so even then Biggers's writing was considered old-fashioned.
And the Charlie Chan movies became hugely successful -- more movies were made about Charlie Chan than about almost any other fictional detective. I must confess that when I was a boy ethnic stereotypes were lost on me. I was unaware that others might be offended by the character of Charlie Chan, and I personally found him endearing.

Soapstone 101 the Most Misunderstood Stone
July 15, 2020 by lallen
History of Soapstone Around the World
In the 18th century archaeologists found evidence of soapstone being used by the Colonial Settlers for counters, sinks and bed warmers. Soapstone was used heavily along the east coast where artifacts of cookware date back to 2,000 BC. Native Americans were known making cooking stones. They would place soapstone pieces into a fire until they were scorching hot, then place them in stew to heat it through. The Native Americans also began to create pieces of art with the stone and would use it to trade with the settlers in Canada and the United States.
Around the world, Scandinavia had a history of using Soapstone for tools, vessels and sculptures. The Vikings were also known for their utilization of Soapstone for cooking and jewelry. It was the Middle Ages however where soapstone was used in common architecture. During the 12th century, India made entire buildings out of soapstone, China used soapstone to create seals in lieu of signing documents and there have been discoveries of soapstone throughout Zimbabwe, Iran and Crete. However, today most of the world's Soapstone is quarried and exported from Brazil.
Soapstone has beauty that is truly timeless
Soapstone's technical Latin name is Steatite; it is metamorphic rock that is composed of 70% talac, which makes it rich in magnesium, and it is mixed with other minerals. But what does metamorphic exactly mean? It means that a rock changed from one form to another under intense heat and pressure.
100% nonporous and will not stain or etch.
Will not be damaged by heat, which makes it highly appropriate for hot pans.
Retains heat, so it is perfect for hearths, fireplaces, counters and stone ovens.
Dark green and black soapstone are typically from Brazil and have a harder composition.
Lighter green and grey soapstone are quarried in India and are much softer.
Granite quarries can last hundreds of years and are huge, while soapstone quarries are relatively small and last usually not more than 6 years.
Care: oil versus dry wax
For decades people used mineral oil to care for their stone. Though effective it was incredibly time consuming. People would oil their surface every day for a month, then twice a month for two or three months, then once a month to maintain it afterwards.
Dry Wax was discovered about 10 years ago and has changed how people maintain their soapstone. Dry wax is a 100% organic combination of walnut oil, beeswax and canuba oil. You set one or two applications to enrich the rich dark color, then approximately once or twice a year depending on use of the surface.
Repairing and buffing
Soapstone is soft and prone to scratching, but is easy and inexpensive to repair. With these three steps
With a piece of 120 fine grit sandpaper, sand until scratch is gone gone.
Then use a piece of 240 grit sandpaper to smooth it out.
Finally use a good ol' kitchen scouring pad to polish.
To buff: reapply dry wax and your stone is like new. It is the only stone you can restore to purchase condition from your own home!

Camera IconFull House perform songs by Crowded House and Split Enz. Credit: Supplied/Supplied
Means to an enz
Jill BurgessMandurah Coastal Times
Full House was founded in 2012 by vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Ben "Murph" Davies and Col "Colonel" Chapman.
Davies attended the Crowded House live concert Farewell to The World in 1996 at Sydney Opera House and was just metres from the band.
"It was the most intense, heartfelt connection between band and audience I've ever experienced," he said.
"There were more than
"Everyone knew all the words, everyone sang. Nobody wanted to go home."
Inspired by the unique sound, Davies and Chapman extensively researched and created a show to capture the essence of the original musical experience.
It was a natural to include a strong component of the music of Split Enz.
After learning and reproducing the songs of Neil and Tim Finn, Chapman said the songs were full of texture, strange timings and amazing lyrics "yet they are so catchy".
"It's really interesting that such complexity can be so accessible," he said.
"Wherever we play, we find that there's an intensely deep respect for these songs among the fans."


John Robert Parker Ravenscroft (OBE) was born on 30th August 1939 in a small Wirral town by the name of Heswall, which is incidentally home to a range of high profile footballers and often frequented by such figures as Paul McCartney. He was born into an upper middle class family and attended Shrewsbury School as a boarder. It wasn't long before Peel started to make an impression as an 'eccentric' and 'perceptive' writer and music fan. Peel completed his studies successfully and also finished national service as a radar operator before returning to the north-west of England.
Peel then made a foray into the cotton industry that his father had worked in all his life. This resulted in his travels to the States where Peel also managed to get a number of scoops for his local rag – the Liverpool Echo. Legend even has it that he managed to the arraignment of Lee Harvey Oswald. Further jobs in the rapidly evolving computing industry helped Peel to get his first job on the radio and the rest as they say is history.
John Peel's emergence as one of the mildest mannered, respected and thoroughly endeared DJ's then started to take shape back in the United Kingdom. He worked for offshore pirate radio stations in London on such shows as the 'Perfumed Garden' and adopted his stage name of John Peel. A Radio London Secretary had suggested this to help Peel to adopt a distinctive radio manner.
Radio London closed down in 1967 leaving John Peel with the arduous task of finding a radio job in the late sixties. Music was obviously booming in the United Kingdom and had become one of the most competitive markets in show business. It didn't take long though and Peel started with aplomb, landing a role with the BBC's new pop station – BBC Radio 1.
John Peel spent the rest of his life unearthing talent, interviewing the stars and broadcasting shows that kept people tuning in time after time. Programmes such as Night Ride, Top Gear found resounding success and Peel brought artists as significant as John Lennon, Marc Bolan and Mick Farren on to his shows. Indeed, these guys became his close friends.
John Peel died suddenly at the age of 65 whilst working in Peru on 25th October 2004. Peel had spoken very briefly about death saying; "I've always imagined I'd die by driving into the back of a truck while trying to read the name on a cassette and people would say, 'He would have wanted to go that way.' Well, I want them to know that I wouldn't." His funeral on 12th November 2004 in Bury St Edmunds was attended by more that a thousand people and readings were undertaken by his brother Alan Ravenscroft and DJ Paul Gambaccini. His favourite song 'Teenage Kicks' by the Undertones was played as his coffin was carried out and the chorus is all that accompanies his name on his headstone.
This is just one of many great music pieces here at Young Academic, the national student news service. Take a look through the all new school of music for some great interviews and reviews. As the premier source of education news in the country, you will not find any other obituaries here but John Peel Day is an event that close to the hearts of all of us here -we hope you enjoyed it!

June 2021: Alene Valkanas
by Vickers Theatre | Jun 3, 2021
Alene Valkanas is our June Vickers patron. Alene has been a national leader in the arts advocacy and arts education movement throughout her lifetime. She began her art education advocacy as a Roman Catholic Sister in Pennsylvania teaching English and Art to high school students. Alene holds a master's degree in arts education from the University of Chicago and a Bachelor of Arts in English from La Roche University.
After graduating from the University of Chicago, Alene took a position at the three-year old Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago as their Public Relations Director, where she "learned the skills of public relations while on the job." According to Alene, "We needed to get more people into the museum, and saw the performing arts as a way for our guests to further enjoy and enrich their lives." She brought music, leading avant-garde composers and theater directors, jazz and performance artists to the art galleries of the museum. During her tenure, she produced more than 500 multidisciplinary cultural events .
She later served for twenty years as the executive director of the Illinois Arts Alliance, the state wide advocacy organization. Her extraordinary contributions to national arts advocacy have been recognized with the initiation of The Alene Valkanas State Arts Advocacy Award. Specifically, she was recognized for her innovative programs and research projects, and her tireless advocacy on behalf of organizations that bring the arts to all of us. This award created by Americans for the Arts is given to one individual each year who exemplifies Alene's spirit and advocacy.
One innovative program she inspired was bringing John Cage to the Museum of Contemporary Art to speak. Cage, American composer, artist, and philosopher, was lured by promise of a mushroom hunt in a state he said had no good hunting grounds for mushrooms. She introduced him to distant relatives in suburban Illinois and they set out on a day-long quest, picking mushrooms, dandelions and other types of plants. They cooked all, placed in containers and shared with guests who came to hear him speak the following night.

'Intentional' Blast Wounds 3 in Nashville on Christmas Day
By NDT Bureau December 26, 2020 December 26, 2020
A recreational vehicle exploded in downtown Nashville at dawn on Christmas Day, injuring three people, in what police described as an "intentional act."
A recording from the vehicle blared a message that a bomb was to detonate in 15 minutes shortly before the explosion took place.
Police say they were responding to a report of shots fired in the area when they spotted the vehicle and heard the recording. Officers evacuated nearby buildings and called in the bomb squad, which was on its way to the scene when the explosion took place.
Metro Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said three people were taken to area hospitals for injuries from the explosion, although none were in critical condition. Authorities say they do not know if anyone was in the recreational vehicle when it exploded.
During a news conference Friday afternoon, Nashville Police Chief John Drake told reporters that investigators had found "tissue" near the site that "could be" human remains. However, no fatalities had been confirmed as of Friday afternoon, the Nashville Tennessean reported.
The blast took place in a downtown tourist area of Nashville, the state capital of Tennessee, and severely damaged several buildings. Most of the bars, restaurants and other retail establishments on the tree-lined street were closed in the early hours of Christmas morning.
An AT&T facility was among the buildings affected and the company said some service was interrupted. Police agencies said the emergency 911 call system was down in several surrounding cities because of the outage.
The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily halted flights out of the Nashville airport because of telecommunications issues associated with the explosion.
Police said they did not know if the communication outages were a planned outcome of the explosion or if they were coincidental. They have not yet indicated a possible motive or the target of the blast.
An FBI spokesman said the agency will lead the investigation into the blast. The FBI is the primary law enforcement agency charged with investigating federal crimes, including explosives violations as well as acts of terrorism.
Nashville Mayor John Cooper has issued state of emergency for the area affected by the explosion, along with a curfew.
A White House spokesman said Donald Trump, who is spending the Christmas holiday in Florida, has been briefed on the explosion and will continue to receive regular updates.
"The president is grateful for the incredible first responders and praying for those who were injured," his spokesman said.
Transition officials say President-elect Joe Biden has also been briefed on the blast.
"The president-elect and [first lady] Dr. [Jill] Biden thank all the first responders working today in response to the incident, and wish those who were injured a speedy recovery," the transition team said in a statement.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee said on Twitter that the state would provide the resources necessary "to determine what happened and who was responsible." He called on people to pray for those who were injured in the blast.

Michael Szilágyi (ungarisch Szilágyi Mihály; * 1400(?); † 1461 in Konstantinopel) war ein ungarischer Adliger, ungarischer Reichsverweser und Ban von Kroatien, Slowenien und Dalmatien.

Über seine Schwester Erzsébet war Michael Szilágyi verschwägert mit Johann Hunyadi. Während der Belagerung von Belgrad im Jahr 1456 wurde Michael Szilágyi zum Kapitän der Burg ernannt und konnte die Stadt erfolgreich verteidigen. Nach der Hinrichtung von Ladislaus Hunyadi, dem eigentlichen Thronfolger des 1456 verstorbenen Johann Hunyadi, wurde Michael Szilágyi von dessen jüngerem Sohn und Führer der Partei Hunyadis, Matthias, gezwungen, diesen 1457 zum König zu wählen.

Im Januar 1458 wurde er vom jungen König für fünf Jahre zum Regenten ernannt, trat aber bereits im August 1459 zurück. Seine Regentschaft war geprägt vom Streit um Macht und Kompetenzen mit dem König.

1460 wurde er von der Türken gefangen genommen und, da er die Verteidigungsanlagen Belgrads nicht verraten wollte, hingerichtet.

The proper tools make turning your Æbleskiver easier with better results. Choose between Steel Knitting needle, used for cast iron pans, or Bamboo Skewers used for cast iron and recommended for all non-stick surfaces.
To use your selected turning tool while cooking your Æbleskiver, when the batter starts to bubble up and a crust has formed on the edges, use your tool to rim the edges to loosen them. Spin the Æbleskiver while making a 1/4 turn allowing the batter to roll down. Continue making 1/4 turns until the ball is formed. Continue spinning the ball until a needle or skewer is inserted and comes out clean.

New-Look Offensive Line To Face Stiff Opening Test In Philadelphia
Jacob Steinberg
The Redskins will debut a new-look offensive line when they kick off the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Absent will be seven-time Pro-Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, who has yet to report to the team, and in his place will be Donald Penn, a 36-year-old training camp signee. Next to Penn will be Ereck Flowers, a former first-round pick with a tattered resume. The Redskins signed Flowers with the hopes he could revive his career and fill the void at left guard.
Both players may prove to be serviceable, but the question remains: How will the unit fare against a high-octane Eagles defensive front on Sunday?
"They're very quick with their checks and they are rarely out of position, so we have a heck of a challenge," Redskins quarterback Case Keenum said. "Not only identifying what they are trying to do, but making sure that we are able to execute and get us all on the same page."
For Philadelphia, everything starts up front with its front four, led by four-time Pro Bowler and 2018 first-team All-Pro Fletcher Cox. An already extremely talented group added veteran Malik Jackson to the mix this offseason.
Last season, the Eagles finished with 44 sacks and allowed an average of 96.9 rushing yards per game, both top ten in the NFL.
Despite having two new starters on the line with Penn and Ereck Flowers, the unit is looking forward to playing such a talented defensive front. Before joining the Redskins, Flowers played swing tackle for the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars, so he is excited for the new opportunity.
Week 1 Is Here, Which Begs The Question: Did The Redskins Players Accomplish Their Offseason Goals?

"It's totally different, especially coming here using different techniques," Flowers said. "I'm excited, it's a chance to get to see where you're at, it's going to my first game really playing."
Knowing how aggressive the Eagles front is, the offensive line is focused on staying disciplined and eliminating negative plays. Establishing the running game with second-year back Derrius Guice will also be a focal point.
"It's a lot different when its 3rd-and-four versus 3rd-and-10," right tackle Morgan Moses said. "That's the key to our game, just making sure we're moving the ball every play."
"We've got to establish the run game," Penn added. "We don't want to get into 3rd-and-long against this team and let their pass-rushers peel back and rush."
While a lot of the responsibility to protect Keenum falls on the offensive line, blitz pickups will also be crucial. Veteran third-down back Chris Thompson emphasized the importance of everyone knowing their assignments and making their blocks. Against such a physical and speedy front seven, any miscue could result in a negative play.
"They don't do anything exotic or crazy, they trust in their guys," Thompson said of the Eagles defense. "When they do blitz, though, they come, so we're going to have to do everything we can to protect Case [Keenum] and give him enough time."
On the road in a hostile environment, establishing the run and winning the battle in the trenches will be vital in trying to silence a raucous home crowd and pick up a key divisional victory.

Yudof presents 2002 capital funding request at regents meeting
by Liz Kohman
University President Mark Yudof presented a $239.8 million capital budget request to the Board of Regents on Friday, marking the beginning of another budget campaign.
The plan, which will fund building renovations and construction on all four campuses, includes a $186.5 million request to the Legislature and will add $31 million to the University's existing debt. The institution also intends to raise $22.2 million.
The Legislature funded $138.3 million of the University's $170.6 million request in 1998 and $79.3 million of the $134.3 million requested in 2000.
The regents will evaluate, make necessary changes and approve Yudof's request at meetings in October.
Yudof's top priority is an $80 million request from the state's Higher Education Asset Preservation and Replacement appropriations fund, involving about 85 projects on all campuses. The money would go toward updating buildings to compliance with disability access codes and improving safety.
The Legislature earmarks HEAPR money for repairing existing buildings or supporting existing programs.
In 1998 the University requested $10.9 million from HEAPR but received $4 million. The 2000 request totaled $16 million, and the state gave the University $9 million.
Other projects include an $18.7 million greenhouse on the St. Paul campus, $24 million for renovating Nicholson Hall to make classrooms and a study space for freshmen and $18.4 million for remodeling the Mineral Resources Research Center – the building where taconite was invented – to create a home for the College of Education and Human Development.
The request also contains $37 million for an addition to Lions Research Building to make room for 33 new clinical scientists. They will carry out research while developing new treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer. Money has already been allocated to hire the scientists, but currently there isn't any space for them to work.
Venora Hung spoke on behalf of the student representatives to the regents, stating the importance of getting student input on projects and obtaining adequate funding.

Bloomberg Tells Other Dems To Drop Out So He Can Stop Bernie
Michael Bloomberg's campaign wants the rest of the Democratic field to drop out of the race so that he can stop Bernie. The campaign is warning that there are too many centrists running at the moment, and if they all split those votes, Bernie can sail to the nomination. This is arrogance of the highest level, and Bloomberg might have the money to make this a reality. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.
On Wednesday, Michael Bloomberg's campaign released a state of the race memo where they effectively called for the other moderate centrists, whatever, in the race to drop out because if they don't drop out, this memo says than Bernie Sanders is going to sail towards the nomination. Now according to this memo, you have your more centrist candidates, your Buttigiegs, your Klobuchars, your Bidens, and the Bloomberg staff says in this memo that we're all going to end up splitting the moderate voters and because it's going to be split between four people, that's going to allow somebody else to rise to the top. And that person at the top is Bernie Sanders and he will go on to sweep Super Tuesday if you folks don't drop out and let Michael Bloomberg take the race over. And then he's going to become the nominee and then there's nothing any of us can do. And this memo to me tells you everything that you need to know about why Michael Bloomberg is in this race. Michael Bloomberg is not in this race to defeat Donald Trump. Michael Bloomberg is running for president to defeat Bernie Sanders to prevent Bernie Sanders from securing the nomination.
Michael Bloomberg does not want to pay higher taxes. We have talked before about the fact that Bernie Sanders' tax plan is going to cost Michael Bloomberg an extra three and a half million dollars per year. Or billion, excuse me, three and a half billion dollars per year, and he doesn't want to pay it, so he'd gladly spend $1 billion if he needs to running for president than three and a half billion every single year paying it in taxes to the federal government. But Bloomberg, who by the way, has not been on a state ballot yet and had his first horrible debate performance last night actually has the audacity to ask these other people, will you drop out? I know I'm, you know, technically can't even be voted for yet, so we have no idea how I'm going to do, but y'all need to go. You need to drop out and let me have this. That's the arrogance that comes with being the eighth or ninth richest human being in the United States. Bloomberg thinks he is entitled to this because he has the money to buy it.
Now, don't get me wrong, I would love to see collectively Biden, Klobuchar and Buttigieg all drop out right now. I do not like their candidacies. I do not like their policies and I do not want any of them to become the nominee. I would love it if they dropped out, but Bloomberg actually asking them to drop out so that he can sweep the nomination. Kind of makes me want to tell these other candidates, you know what? Stay in this thing. Stay in this thing just to piss off the billionaire because if that is the only thing you accomplish with your campaign, then you know what? I'm okay with that because Michael Bloomberg does not deserve the Democratic nomination. This is a guy who just two years ago was still a Republican and according to the policies that he talks about today, he still is a Republican.
He may not have an R next to his name, but he has one marked on his soul. This man is now and has always been, regardless of his party affiliation, a conservative. He is trying to buy this Democratic election. He is trying to muscle out the other moderates because he thinks that's the way to stop Bernie Sanders. But even if he was successful with that, it's not going to do what he thinks it will. Bernie Sanders is the real deal. Bernie Sanders is out there winning, and according to the latest polls out this morning, Bernie Sanders is the only candidate at the moment who still beats Donald Trump. Everybody else in the latest polling loses to him. So if the goal is to beat Donald Trump, Bernie is your guy. If the goal is to just beat Bernie in a primary, then I guess you should stick with Bloomberg and see how that works for you in the general election.

Watchmen: Everything You Need To Know Before You Watch The Series
by Ace Damon October 15, 2019
written by Ace Damon October 15, 2019
Watchmen will debut on HBO on the 20th and will feature the sequel to one of the most important comics of all time. Created by Alan Moore and art by Dave Gibbons (and colored by John Higgins), the story has elements of noir narrative, offers a fresh approach to the Cold War and the Vietnam War, and touches on sensitive topics such as loneliness, rape and other types of violence, subjects not normally seen in comics.
The legacy of the comic can be felt to this day not only by its aesthetic influence but also, and most importantly, by the way the format has come to be regarded as adult entertainment. Watchmen has been placed on Time Magazine's 100 Best Novels List, being the only comic to make the list (you can check out the full selection) clicking here).
HQ won a movie adaptation in 2009, directed by Zack Snyder, but the HBO series will show the sequence of the original work, with a different ending to the film. To prepare for what's next, learn some of the key features of this graphic novel that should appear in the series.
Attention! The following text contains spoilers of the comic and the movie Watchmen.
(Source: IMDb / Reproduction)
HQ vigilantes do not have an official name. References to the term Watchmen appear on some pages, but they are never treated directly by that name. The group is composed by Rorschach, who tells the main part of the story and is the only one who does not accept to retire; Comedian, a Vietnam War veteran and a person who doesn't have a moral filter, killing and raping without any remorse; Spectral, the only woman in the group and the daughter of a retired vigilante; Doctor Manhattan, a physicist who, after an accident in his laboratory, becomes omniscient, omnipotent, and in his own way omnipresent; Owl, an inventor who has taken on the name of a watchman of the past; and finally Ozymandias, one of the most intelligent men on the planet.
(Source: Watchtower / Reproduction Tower)
The story takes place in 1985 and follows the vigilante group in an alternate version of the United States, which won the Vietnam War thanks to the help of Doctor Manhattan. Rorschach is investigating the Comedian's death for believing someone is trying to kill the old masks. He goes after his companions to warn them and finds himself in the middle of a great conspiracy initiated by Ozymandias. At times flashbacks of characters are shown to give more depth to the story.
All Rorschach's investigation makes him realize that the one who killed the Comedian was Ozymandias. He created a monster that attacks Manhattan, destroying much of the city and killing millions. The goal was to get the United States and Soviet Union to end the Cold War and to unite against a larger enemy (in the movie, Ozymandias makes it look like Doctor Manhattan caused a nuclear explosion). As the Comedian discovers the plan, Ozymandias decides to kill him so as not to leave clues.
This objective is revealed in the latest issue of the comic, when all watchers are informed that the monster has already attacked the city and there is nothing else they can do. Rorschach says he cannot accept it and will reveal to the world what Ozymandias has done, but Doctor Manhattan disintegrates it, for the most important is world peace. Watchmen ends with the Rorschach diary being handed to a newspaper so that all that has happened is revealed. The HBO series should show the consequences of this.
While the story is told, Alan Moore inserts a parallel narrative, with a boy reading a Black Freighter comic. This plot appears only in some editions and serves as an analogy to the main story itself. In Tales of the Black Freighter, a young man decides to return to his hometown to warn his countrymen that the mysterious ghost ship known as the Black Freighter is going to attack the place.
The story involves Ozymandias and Rorschach. In the trailers released by HBO, you can see some references to the Black Freighter, suggesting that it will be related to the main plot.
Watchmen changed forever how comics were made and consumed. Two years after its release, Neil Gaiman began publishing Sandman, already showing the impact Moore's work has left. Since then, it has become increasingly common for comics to tackle heavier and more complex themes, exploring other niches and with increasingly elaborate ideas.

DANIA BEACH, FL. – May 31, 2006 – The Aragon Group, a privately held company, which owns Dania Jai Alai and approximately 50 acres of related land, today announced that it has agreed to be acquired by Boyd Gaming Corporation for approximately $152.5 million, subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Boyd Gaming (NYSE:BYD) is a leading diversified owner and operator of gaming and hotel properties in 6 states ranging from horseracing racinos to riverboats to casinos. Boyd was recently selected as Forbes Magazine's best managed company in America in the hotel-restaurant-leisure category.
Dania Jai Alai is located near the Fort Lauderdale International Airport and the Broward County Convention Center, and in close proximity to the major population centers of South Florida. It is one of four facilities approved under Florida law to operate 1,500 Class III slot machines. The enabling legislation was signed into law in January and Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (Pari-Mutuel Wagering Division) is expected to approve final regulations by July 2006. Dania Jai Alai currently offers off-track betting, poker, and pari-mutuel wagering on jai-alai, called the fastest ballgame in the world.
Boyd Gaming has initiated a master plan which will include an expansive gaming floor, a variety of restaurants, poker, off-track betting and wagering on live jai alai games. "Boyd provides a wealth of experience that will contribute to a successful project," said Steve Snyder, President of The Aragon Group.

В самом Мармарисе делать было нечего, поэтому решили съездить на экскурсию по Егейскому морю на яхте.

Обещанная яхта где-то поломалась и мы полтора часа ждали замену. На замену приплыл баркас с 20-ю столами и спасательными жилетами.

И даже не смотря на это - поездка по Егейскому морю была самым лучшим впечатлением от отдыха в Турции.

On Monday the Guardian carried a letter from Nick Gibson who told how he had taken over a pub in Islington, London, and had to apply for a new licence, which required the approval of a number of organisations, including the police.
"I was stunned," he wrote, "to find that the police were prepared to approve – ie not fight – our licence on condition that we installed CCTV capturing the head and shoulders of everyone coming into the pub, to be made available to them on request."
He wrote to his MP, Emily Thornberry, but got no reply until today when she sent a letter to the Guardian – a somewhat patronising note, suggesting that this was indeed a civil liberties issue and that the staff from the nearby local Labour headquarters should be able to come and go "without being stolen from and intimidated". She also used the opportunity to take a swipe at the local Liberal Democrat council, which has refused to install street CCTV in Islington.
Typically for a Labour MP, she did not answer the substance of Gibson's complaint, which is that there seems to exist an unofficial policy of forcing pub licencees to install CCTV. In effect, Gibson had been compelled to go along with the policy at his pub – the Drapers Arms – to keep making a living. "When was it that the constant small erosion of our liberties became irreversible?" he asked.
It is clear that the police do indeed have an unofficial policy that they implement in a thoroughly undemocratic manner when advising on licence applications – not on the merits of the case but on the applicant's compliance with their policy.
The MPS overall does not have a policy of insisting CCTV is installed within licensed premises before supporting licence applications. However, individual boroughs may impose blanket rules in support of their objectives to prevent crime and disorder and to assist the investigation of offences when they do occur. Islington is one of the most densely populated districts for licensed premises in London and the borough's licensing authority is committed to providing a safe environment in which to socialise.
Islington council has suggested that Gibson can withdraw his application, take away the CCTV cameras and apply again for the licence. A sensible council would of course waive the need for this absurd procedure, and at the same time publicly state that it will stand against the surveillance creep that is blighting every city centre in Britain. CCTV has its purposes but the idea that someone going for a pint must give up their privacy by having their image taken and stored is repellent to all notions of a free society.
Gibson has been put in a difficult position and I would expect the council to make the first move to resolve what is a minor but also crucial issue of privacy, which of course is guaranteed to each one of us by the Human Rights Act.
If it fails to do so, he might like to provide a mask at the entrances to his pub with a suggestion that if people want to drink in private they hold up the mask as they pass the cameras. Or possibly drinkers may like to go equipped with their own mask. A V for Vendetta mask seems appropriate (£4.99).
Perhaps there should be a V for Vendetta evening at the Drapers Arms. If Gibson would like to suggest a date in the next two weeks, I will publicise it.
In the meantime, it is important that the police understand it is not their business to use their influence to make and implement policy affecting people's privacy.

Voice Movement Therapy (VMT) is an expressive arts therapy that highlights the exploration and expression of the Self through the use of the voice and body.
The human voice reflects both physical and psychic states and has the ability to convey both cognitive meaning and affective expression simultaneously. It is our primary mode of communication for both ideas and feelings and can move us with words and beyond words. It is the only instrument wherein player and played upon are contained within the same organic form and therefore can achieve its fullest expression when firmly grounded in the body. It has two main channels of communication: the words we say – the symbols we use to convey our cognitive message – and the way we say them – the tones and qualities of voice which express the emotional message underlying what we speak or sing.
Voice Movement Therapy (VMT) was conceived by Englishman Paul Newham and was originally called "The Singing Cure". This therapeutic work is based on the pioneering methods of vocal facilitator Alfred Wolfsohn and influenced by the theatre work of actor and director Roy Hart; the acoustical analysis of otolaryngologist Dr Paul Moses; the characterological bodywork of Wilhelm Reich; and the psychological principles of C.G. Jung. It is the first in-depth Expressive Therapy which employs the human voice as its main modality and is readily communicable to people of different cultures and backgrounds. It is both creative and therapeutic in that it requires an exploration of oneself and one's issues through the contours of the voice and through the creative enactment of one's personal story in movement and song.

Q: upgrade pip on mac to install a Django library? I am working on a python/ django project from a mac, and have recently decided to switch to a different library for date/ time input on some of the forms on my website.
The library I have decided to change to is Bootstrap3, and I am following the instructions at: https://github.com/nkunihiko/django-bootstrap3-datetimepicker to install it.
The guide says that the first step is to 'Run pip install django-bootstrap3-datetimepicker', which I have done- and the bash console has displayed the message:

Successfully built django-bootstrap3-datetimepicker
Successfully installed django-bootstrap3-datetimepicker-2.2.3

However, it then displayed a message stating:

InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to solve this...

It also displayed another message stating:

You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command

I am quite new to Python/ Django, and have decided to change the library being used for the datetimepicker on the forms because of an issue with the current one that I haven't been able to resolve (it's not possible to select a date beyond the 01/01/2017 using the datetimepicker currently integrated into the project).
I am worried that if I upgrade Python on my computer, I might break another part of the project that is currently working correctly... is there a way to safeguard against this?
Should I upgrade pip before upgrading Python as the console suggests? What are the risks of doing this? Are there risks of breaking any of the existing code within my project when I upgrade Python too?
If I do go ahead and run these upgrades on the mac (my development machine), will I also need to run upgrades on the server, to ensure that the live website works correctly too?

A: Has datetimepicker updated and working correctly? You don't necessarily have to upgrade if they are working correctly. You can test your ssl connection.
Moving from python 2 to 3 will definitely break your application. But your pip version can be upgraded easily without any bugs using

pip install --upgrade pip

command.
I agree that you should be using virtualenv, but that won't save your program from breaking while migrating to newer python versions.

I have always believed that Canadians in times of conflict have represented themselves and their country proudly in the battlefield. When I came upon "Show No Fear, Daring Actions in Canadian Military History", I knew it was a must read.
"Show No Fear is a collection of essays that captures the richness of Canadian military history. Although Canadians see their nation as a peaceable kingdom and themselves as an unmilitary people, the truth is that Canada has a proud military heritage. Moreover, the nation's citizens and their descendants share a legacy of courage, tenacity, and warfighting prowess. This volume of daring actions showcases the country's rich and distinct national military experience while capturing the indomitable spirit of the Canadian soldier.
Actions studied include military bravery in the Seven Years' War, the British attacks on Fort Mackinac and Fort Detroit in the War of 1812, the Lake Erie expeditions during the American Civil War, courage displayed at Paardeberg in the Boer War, trench raiding in the First World War, bold valour in the ill-fated Dieppe Raid in the Second World War, toe-to-toe fighting with the Chinese in the Korean War, and present-day heroics in Afghanistan."
The book is a very good read in many ways but a little uneven. I found way too long the first chapter describing the training and use of Rangers in military action. All the other chapters were well written and very interesting, except for the chapter on the lake Erie Expeditions. Britain and Upper Canada were trying to maintain neutrality in the American Civil War and the actions involved were the Southern States attempting to bring the war to the Union on Lake Erie. This was their actions and really did not involve Canada.
Except for this and the first chapter, the rest of the book was very enjoyable. I wish there had been maps, though. Maps are essential in any book which tells the story of a military action. It helps better set the scene for the reader.
My favorite chapter was "Jump into Chaos", which tells the story of the Canadian paratroop force who invaded France from the air the night before the D-Day invasion.
I would recommend this as an entertaining and educational read. When I was done, I again wondered if I would ever have the courage to do what those in this book did. Fortunately, I never have had to find out.

NELK prank Tiktokkers Bryce Hall & Tayler Holder with fake police arrest

NELK Boys
The NELK Boys have become infamous for their pranks on friends and the unsuspecting public, as well as their raucous partying ways. But now they've combined the two, pranking TikTok stars Bryce Hall and Tayler Holder with fake police arresting them at a party, with the pair literally ending up in handcuffs.
This isn't the first time NELK – led by Canadian duo Jesse Sebastiani and Kyle Forgeard – have played a prank on the stars, after using actors to terrify Hall in a shopping mall back in February 2020.
Now, they've upped the ante, and employed policemen to appear at the group's Texas house party after allegations of underage guests drinking alcohol at the party, leading to potential arrests for the stars.
Instagram: nelkboys
The NELK Boys have built a huge following thanks to their YouTube content, with almost 5m subscribers.
The entire ordeal was thoroughly planned out by NELK, who employed people they knew to act as if they were highly intoxicated, with another coming out to report to the group that she – after passing out and throwing up – was actually only 17 years old.

Forgeard played up the act a bit, saying that if there are underage girls drinking at the TikTokkers' party, it's on their heads and is a "really bad look" and, before long the cops showed up after being mic'd up by NELK's entourage.
While Holder initially tried to resist, telling the police they couldn't enter without a warrant, Hall, who had been let in on it, let them in, and before long Holder was being told he was going to get arrested and go to jail.
(Timestamp 18:55 for mobile viewers)
Obviously there was never really any underage drinking or arrests happening, and the police officer revealed that it was a prank in the best way possible, asking Holder two questions, the second being whether he could "renegade" (a song popularized on TikTok with a corresponding dance).

Everybody burst out laughing after the reveal, including Holder himself, who added that he will "beat the f**k out of all y'all."
Naturally, the party continued afterward, and everybody seemed pretty unfazed by the events – in fact, it might have improved their party mood even further once all was said and done.

Addison Rae TikTok
TikTok star Giulia Amato has hit out at fans on TikTok for constantly comparing her to Addison Rae and other influencers, claiming that it feels like she has been "given a different identity."
Since launching her channel in April 2019, 17-year-old Giulia Amato has made a name for herself on TikTok. As well as having an impressive 1.8 million followers, her content — which includes dances, lip-syncing and POVs — has helped her amass nearly 55 million likes on the app.
However, with many fans noticing Amato's striking resemblance to TikTok superstar Addison Rae, her comments are often flooded with comparisons, and she's faced accusations of copying Rae in the past.
For example, in October, Amato was accused of "copying" Addison Rae after dying her hair back to its natural brunette color shortly after Rae dyed her own hair brown.
A post shared by First Ever Tiktok Shaderoom (@tiktokroom)
In this TikTok, it is clear that Amato has had enough of the comparisons. She captioned the clip, "my name is Giulia Amato and I don't want to be compared to other people everyday."
Clearly referencing the Addison Rae comparisons, Amato continued: "So by now, you guys all know who I'm compared to. I don't want to say her name because I don't want it to look like I'm using her name to get clout for this video, but you guys know who I'm talking about."

She elaborated even further: "My videos were, at first, filled with a lot of hate, with a lot of people comparing us, and that I can handle."
"But I feel like it's become a trend t0 give me different identities."
Instagram: Addison Rae
Amato said in the TikTok that she finds herself being constantly compared to Addison Rae, who is currently starring in a remake of the movie 'She's All That.'
Noting how she's recently been compared to a "mix" of Rae and "two or four" other high-profile TikTok stars, Amato asserted in the video that, contrary to accusations in the comments, she has never had cosmetic surgery or other treatments done to her face.

Sympathizing with Amato's frustrations, fans on Instagram showed their support. One user said in a comment that got over 4,000 likes that "they are both gorgeous," while another user said that fans should stop comparing because "we are all beautiful and have our own blessings, so no need to be jealous of each other."
It appears that Amato has since deleted the TikTok from her account.

Madge and Jesus: New 'It' Couple?
Madonna and Brazilian boy toy Jesus Luz went out for dinner, a stop at Kabbalah and a stroll in snowy New York City. Meanwhile, is the pop queen's ex, Guy Ritchie, trashing her?
According to the NY Post, this rumor about Madonna is gospel! The newspaper reports that the "Sherlock Holmes" director has taken to calling Madge "it" -- as in, "we can't make it angry!" Madonna's rep, Liz Rosenberg, was contacted about Ritchie's remarks, and retorted, "It hasn't been in a bad mood since the divorce was finalized."
Touché! Madge seems to have the last laugh with her model beau.


The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has officially approved Gibson's reorganization plan following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.
The court's approval paves the way for the closure of the case in early November, as the last major hurdle for the iconic company.
The company still has major practical steps to accomplish before getting back on its feet. Gibson lost most of its C-level leadership, with CEO Henry Jusziewicz losing most of his ownership share within the company.

Justin Bieber Reactivated His Instagram on Accident
Yup, it's gone again.
By Ella Cerón
And just like that, Justin Bieber has now made his Instagram private again. Because time is a fleeting construct, decisions are reversible, and no, Beliebers, Justin is not ready to return to the world of Instagram. We're so sorry for this loss.
The singer removed his Instagram from the world after tweeting that resurfacing on the photo platform was an "accident." (Anyone who has ever accidentally hit that "private" button can likely relate.) But for a few glorious hours, we got to see Justin's face, his new dog named Todd, and all those selfies with Sofia Richie. It all exists, so nothing is lost quite yet. Deactivation is different from deletion, after all. But until he decides to return to the wide world of Insta, we always have these selfies. (Thanks, Google!)
