I absolutely believe that the artists have to attend own works of art.
And I always believe that the truly intention would provide the good result.
I have intended to seek the good knowledge and the nice technique for my paintings.
I have to seek the best practices for my works. I have done the paintings since I was young. I have very much done my paintings sincerely.
In my opinion, the way of life need to be taken for a long time to develop and prove own life. Everyone have their own tasks to do sincerely.
So do I. I love art. I love my work. I love all my paintings.
I started studying academic art at Ubolratchathani Vocational. I met very nice teachers and friends here. My teachers taught me both academic art and the way of life.
They provided me many good things.
Once in my life, I would like to seek the meaning of life. So I had a journey alone. I went to many good places around my country, especially the North and North - East.
I visit the countryside to learn the culture and the way of their lives. This journey provided me many worth things. At this same time, I also did several paintings.
I received the nice friendship and the nice impression. I appreciated it greatly.
Later, I studied B.F.A. in Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. I met the good instructors. They provided me the knowledge of art and the way of life, too.
I very much intended to study all of art. I searched for many styles of paintings. The final year of studying, I decided to become an independent artist. I knew that I would encounter the obstacles on this way.
I thought that I could overcome these obstacles because I could empower my mind.
Nowadays I have been doing art for 23 years. I could pass very hard problems. I still do the best paintings. I always exhibit my works. I previously presented my exhibitions more than 60 times.
Today I would like to present my works. This exhibition is the one man of retrospective paintings. There are almost 100 paintings. I have done these paintings since 1985 until now.
I think that it is a very good time to exhibit my retrospective works.
I hope that this exhibition would provide you the good impression and happiness. Thank you very much for your time and interest.


(JTA) — A Tunisian Jew who has been in prison for over a month is being denied access to kosher food, his family said.
Ilan Raccah, who is his 20s, has been held since July 10 at the prison of Mornaguia, a western suburb of the capital Tunis, the Kountrass news site reported Sunday. The report did not say precisely why Raccah was imprisoned except that he is suspected of inciting young men to set the car of a local businessman on fire.
The investigating judge assigned to the case allowed the family to bring kosher food to Raccah, whom they say adheres strictly to Orthodox Jewish law, or halachah. But the chief warden this weekend refused to take the kosher food from Raccah's relatives, forcing him to fast, the family said.
Raccah has not eaten for more than two days and will continue to fast until he receives kosher food, his lawyer said in court.
This story "Tunisian Jew Barred From Getting Kosher Food In Prison" was written by JTA.

Try 44 Monarch butterflies.
"It was the most unusual thing," said the 102-year-old Hopkinsville, Ky., native. "Maybe I've started something."
Her great-grandson's kindergarten class at Fieldston Lower School, Bronx, N.Y., was exploring the four stages of butterfly metamorphosis in October.
When the cycle was complete, however, the class realized it would be too cold to release the Monarchs.
Thomas Venarde had an idea — send the butterflies to "Great Gran Dell" in Florida.
"It's warm weather down there, and I knew that would be better for the butterflies," the 5-year-old said from his Manhattan home.
When Thomas's dad, David, called Trawick, she said go right ahead. "It was so fascinating to think it was possible to ship them," she said.
No problem, said Trawick's daughter.
Raising Monarchs has been a family pastime for the last three generations.
"Those things are tough," said Dell Venarde, 77, in Wilmington, Del.
"Mom thought it was the silliest thing shipping them down, but when it happened she was really taken by it. Who wouldn't be?"
Folks at Summerfield sure were.
"We've had shipments of many different things from great-grandsons before, but never butterflies," said Pam Green, the admissions director.
Still, Trawick feared the worst after the first FedEx overnight package arrived, containing 22 butterflies in 11 lightly sealed envelopes.
Their release was planned for the 1.3-acre wetlands on the property.
"They looked dead when I opened them," Trawick said. "I suppose it was the overnight trip. They were folded just like somebody would go to sleep. I shook the envelopes, and I guess that woke them up."
The Monarchs slowly emerged, jumped onto Trawick's hands and lap, then began to fly, according to Green.
"It was truly amazing," she said. "They were all alive."
So were the second batch after they arrived.
"I knew they'd be OK," her great-grandson said.
Trawick's daughter said the Monarchs will stay here through the winter, migrate north in spring, lay eggs and die.
Meantime, "The Butterfly Lady" is enjoying her celebrity.
Besides the satisfaction of giving her great-grandson's class project a maternal assist, what pleased Trawick was their thank you note, signed in crayon.
She wouldn't mind doing it again, either.
"If it makes children happy, why not?" Trawick said.

The Allianz Hurling League may be only heading for its second round but with just five series of games in the group stages of the top Divisions, next weekend's programme could be crucially important in deciding some qualification/relegation issues.
Four points is often enough to earn quarter-finals places, which is encouraging for Tipperary, Waterford, Cork (1A) and Galway, Wexford, Kerry (1B), all of whom won last weekend.
Sunday (2.0): Waterford v Tipperary, Walsh Park; Clare v Kilkenny, Ennis.
Three intriguing contests are on next weekend's agenda, with first round winners, Cork, Tipperary and Waterford attempting to edge closer to booking quarter-finals and Dublin, Kilkenny and Clare bidding to get back on track after losing their opening games. Waterford and Tipperary, who meet in Walsh Park on Sunday, both recorded impressive wins over Kilkenny and Dublin respectively last weekend.
Tipperary had an easy win over Waterford in last year's Munster final, while the Deise enjoyed a one-point win over Tipp in last year's Allianz Hurling League clash in Thurles. Clare were easy winners (4-22 to 2-19) over Kilkenny in last year's Division 1 semi-final; Kilkenny beat the Banner by a point twice (1A group game and relegation play-off) in 2015.
Dublin beat Cork by 4-21 to 2-17 in last year's Allianz Hurling League but the Leesiders gained revenge in the All-Ireland qualifiers, winning by 1-26 to 1-23.
Saturday (7.0): Laois v Offaly, Portlaoise.
Wexford got a huge boost under new manager, Davy Fitzgerald in the opening round last Sunday, beating Limerick by three points. Their next test is against Galway, who were even easier winners against Offaly, romping to victory by 26 points. It will be the first Allianz Hurling League clash between Galway and Wexford since 2011 when the Tribesmen won by 21 points.
Offaly beat Laois by five points in last year's 1B campaign while Limerick beat Kerry by four points in 2016.
Sunday: Armagh v London, Athletic Grounds, 1.0; Carlow v Antrim, Netwatch Cullen Park, 2.0; Kildare v Westmeath, Newbridge.
First round winners, Carlow and Antrim meet in Netwatch Cullen Park, while Kildare, who also won last Sunday, will have home advantage against Westmeath. Carlow beat Antrim by six points in last year's League. Westmeath beat Kildare by 11 points in last year's Allianz Hurling League. London, who lost to Antrim last weekend, finished third in 2A last year, while Armagh were promoted from 2B.
Sunday: Down v Roscommon, Ballycran, 12.30; Meath v Derry, Pairc Tailteann, 2.0; Wicklow v Mayo, Arklow 2.0.
Last year's Christy Ring Cup champions, Meath, made a good start to this year's League campaign, easily beating Down, and will face more Ulster opposition at home to Derry Sunday. Derry started well too, beating Mayo by a point.
Wicklow, the group's third winners (v Roscommon) in the first round, host Mayo, who lost to Derry.
Roscommon, who were promoted from 3A this year, face the long trip to Ballycran to take on Down, who were beaten 2B finalists last year.
Monaghan and Donegal, both of whom won last Sunday, clash in a contest that could have a major bearing on who reaches the final later on. Meanwhile, Louth and Tyrone will be bidding to get back on the winning trial after losing last Sunday.
Longford and Warwickshire, both of whom won their opening games, face 'away' engagements next weekend. Leitrim play their first game in the five-team group.
Round 2: Next Saturday: Laois v Offaly; Next Sunday: Galway v Wexford; Limerick v Kerry.
Round 2: Next Sunday: Antrim v London; Carlow v Antrim; Kildare v Westmeath.
Round 2: Next Sunday: Down v Roscommon; Meath v Derry; Wicklow v Mayo.
Round 2: Next Sunday: Monaghan v Donegal; Louth v Tyrone.
Round 3: Feb 26: Tyrone v Donegal; Louth v Monaghan.
Round 2: Next Sunday: Fermanagh v Warwickshire; Leitrim v Longford.

Cloud infrastructure sales rise as Microsoft closes in on AWS
Google Cloud, AWS and Azure collectively account for 63% of global cloud infrastructure expenditure, according to a new report from Canalys.
By Jon Gold

Fueled by enterprise demand for data analytics, machine learning, data center consolidation and cloud-native app development, spending on cloud infrastructure services jumped 33% year on year to $62.3 billion in the second quarter, according to Canalys.
The Singapore-based market research firm said its latest cloud spending research, released Tuesday, shows that demand for cloud services remains strong despite a global economy suffering from inflation, rising interest rates and recession.
Stay on budget with these 6 cloud cost management tips, learn the 5 fundamentals of effective cloud management, and beware hidden cloud migration gotchas.
Google, Microsoft and Amazon collectively made up almost two in three dollars spent on cloud infrastructure around the world last quarter, Canalys noted. The firm defines cloud infrastructure services as those that provide IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service), either via private or public hosting environments. It excludes direct sales for SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications, but includes revenue from the infrastructure services used to host and operate them.
According to Canalys' figures, AWS alone accounted for about 1/3rd of global cloud infrastructure revenue in the second quarter of 2022, or $19.3 billion out of $62.3 billion overall, representing a 33% year-on-year increase in Amazon's figures. Azure was in second place, with 24% of the market after 40% annual growth, and Google Cloud took third, with 45% growth accounting for 8% of total market share.
Azure's growth rate means that Microsoft has continued to close in on Amazon for primacy in this market, according to Canalys. A vice president at the research firm, Alex Smith, said that Microsoft's record number of major deals in the $100 million and $1 billion ranges is the product of a wide product portfolio and tight integration with software partners.
"While opportunities abound for providers large and small, the interesting battle remains right at the top between AWS and Microsoft," he said in a statement announcing Canalys' results. "The race to invest in infrastructure to keep pace with demand will be intense and test the nerves of the companies' CFOs as both inflation and rising interest rates create cost headwinds."
Cloud providers build out infrastructure
Despite those headwinds, however, both Amazon and Microsoft have continued to aggressively build out capacity, according to the researchers—the latter company has announced 10 new cloud regions, to become available in the next year, and the former has announced eight, divided into 24 new availability zones in the same time frame.
According to Canalys research analyst Yi Zhang, demand is likely to continue to increase, as companies move more and more core parts of their infrastructure into it. "Most companies have gone beyond the initial step of moving a portion of their workloads to the cloud and are looking at migrating key services," he said in a statement. "The top cloud vendors are accelerating their partnerships with a variety of software companies to demonstrate a differentiated value proposition. Recently, Microsoft pointed to expanded services to migrate more Oracle workloads to Azure, which in turn are connected to databases running in Oracle Cloud

Aspen – miejscowość turystyczna i duży ośrodek narciarski w Stanach Zjednoczonych, w stanie Kolorado, siedziba administracyjna hrabstwa Pitkin.

Historia
Miasto powstało w 1879 roku jako osada górnicza. Wydobywano tu rudy srebra. W 1880 roku miasto, od otaczających je lasów osikowych, zostało nazwane Aspen (pol.: osika'''). Rozwijało się dynamicznie do roku 1893. Podczas załamania gospodarczego (tzw. panic of 1893) zamknięte zostały kopalnie, a tysiące górników zostało zwolnionych z pracy.

Stagnacja trwała do 1930 roku, kiedy powstał projekt budowy w Aspen centrum narciarskiego. Plany te przerwała II wojna światowa. Po wojnie założono Aspen Ski Corporation, która doprowadziła do organizacji Mistrzostw Świata w Narciarstwie Alpejskim w 1950 roku. Po tym wydarzeniu Aspen zaczęło być rozpoznawalne w świecie, a od 1958 roku kurort zaczęto rozbudowywać. Powstała stacja narciarska Buttermilk, w tym samym roku otwarty został ośrodek w Aspen Highlands, a po jedenastu latach przerwy został wybudowany największy ośrodek narciarski Snowmass.

W 1977 roku znany seryjny morderca Ted Bundy, przed rozpoczęciem procesu sądowego, wyskoczył z okna na drugim piętrze i uciekł. Ukrywał się na wolności przez 6 dni w lasach Aspen Mountain, zanim został aresztowany w skradzionym samochodzie, którym próbował uciec z miasta.

 Geografia
Miasto jest usytuowane wzdłuż południowo-wschodniego pasma górskiego na końcu doliny Roaring Fork, wzdłuż rzeki Roaring Fork, która jest dopływem rzeki Kolorado. Jest otoczone przez góry z trzech stron: od północy przez Red Mountain, od wschodu przez Smuggler Mountain, a od południa przez Aspen Mountain.

 Budownictwo
Dynamicznie rozwijający się rynek nieruchomości wymusił na władzach miasta kompromis między zachęcaniem do inwestycji a ich ograniczaniem. Dziś większość zabudowy to wysokiej klasy luksusowe domy i mieszkania, nadające Aspen niepowtarzalny charakter. Średnia wartość domu w Aspen to 1 795 000 dolarów (dane z roku 2008).

 Demografia
Według spisu ludności w 2000 roku, Aspen zamieszkiwało 5914 osób, 2903 osoby prowadziły gospodarstwo domowe, a łączna liczba rodzin zamieszkujących w mieście wyniosła 1082. Gęstość zaludnienia jest na poziomie 1675 osób/km2. Aspen zamieszkuje 90,94% ludzi rasy białej, około 0,44% rasy afroamerykańskiej. Rdzenni Amerykanie stanowią 0,24% ludności, 1,45% to osoby pochodzenia azjatyckiego, a 6,14% to ludność pochodzenia latynoskiego.

Średni dochód gospodarstwa domowego w mieście wynosi 60 418 dolarów, a średni dochód rodziny – 70 300 dolarów. Mężczyźni w Aspen na ogół zarabiają więcej od kobiet, bo na poziomie 41 011 dolarów rocznie. Natomiast zarobki kobiet oscylują na poziomie 32 023 dolarów rocznie. Średni dochód na 1 osobę wynosi 40 680 dolarów. 3,6% rodzin i 8,2% mieszkańców miasta żyje poniżej granicy ubóstwa, w tym 4,4% osób w wieku 18 lat i 2,6% osób w wieku 65 lat.

 Transport

 W Aspen funkcjonuje firma przewozowa Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA). Obsługuje połączenia autobusowe w Aspen z miejscowościami: Snowmass Village, Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Rifle. Trasy wewnątrz Aspen i do lotniska krajowego Aspen-Pitkin County Airport są bezpłatne.
 Jedynym lotniskiem jest Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, znanym również jako Sardy Field. Lotnisko posiada pierwszą kategorię według FAA. Ma jeden asfaltowy pas startowy o długości 2135 metrów (planowane jest przedłużenie), czynny od 7:00 rano do 10:00 wieczorem. Posiada dość dużą płytę postojową, zdolną pomieścić kilkanaście samolotów biznesowych i prywatnych w szczycie sezonu. Lotnisko obsługują także trzy linie komercyjne: American Eagle Airlines, SkyWest Airlines oraz Republic Airlines (stan na styczeń 2012).
 Główną drogą biegnącą przez miasto jest Colorado State Highway 82. Inne lokalne drogi, którymi można się dostać lub wydostać z miasta są czynne tylko latem. Zimą drogi te nie są odśnieżane.

The new HANSASENSeTION mixers make body care easier, are more hygienic and appeal for the use of high-quality materials and their low water and energy consumption. Thanks to the four new product families HANSAFIT, HANSACONCERTO, HANSALANO and HANSAFORSENSES, which are available under the umbrella term "HANSASENSeTION", it is now possible to furnish the entire bathroom and the kitchen in the same look. As well as being ideal for use in the private bathroom, the new HANSASENSeTION mixers are also perfect for use in semi-public and public sanitary areas.
HANSASENSeTION, the name of the new mixer series, is the programme. On the one hand, "SENS" stands for sensible functionality, and on the other for sensuous experiences. The "e" is a reference to the electronics that provide non-contact operation. Water starts to flow automatically as soon as the hands approach the mixer – always in the right amount and at the right temperature. This easy, economical use of water and energy is made possible by proven non-contact sensor technology. The distance between the sensors and an object is measured – and not, as with other infrared sensors, an object's reflection. This means that HANSA's sensors are more resistant to disturbing influences, such as diffuse lighting conditions. The flow of water is initiated once the hand is held within a defined area under the spout. Non-contact mixers have another significant advantage. Because the flow of water stops automatically, water is never left flowing without supervision. This helps to save the consumption of drinking water and increases safety in the bathroom or sanitary facility; if a drain happens to be closed or blocked, there is no risk of flooding.
In addition to the non-contact basin fittings, the comprehensive range in HANSAFIT also consists of three lever mixers: classic, with the separate Tiptronik-Flex button for easy remote operation, or with the Bidette hand shower as a mobile water source. Plus there is a bath and shower thermostat; a shower set with and a model without a fixed handle, and a hand shower in the matching series design. The kitchen range includes two hybrid mixers for the sink, one with an electronic dishwasher valve.
All three washstand mixers in the new HANSAFIT series for the bathroom share the ergonomically optimised overall concept that was developed by HANSA in co-operation with GGT, the German Association for Gerontotechnology. Thanks to the use of a composite material that is also used by the medical industry, is especially firm and chemically resistant, the new washstand mixers are also longer-lasting and stronger. The high quality, lead-free materials that the company uses for all water-carrying components provide the optimum drinking water hygiene.
The non-contact version of the HANSAFIT is notable for its universal, compact design, which makes it suitable for small washstands in the private bathroom, for use in public areas and the commercial sector. With a water consumption of just 4.8 litres per minute, it also makes an important contribution to preserving natural resources. The manually adjustable hot water limiter and the practical function that automatically switches the mixer water flow off after a maximum of 2 minutes provide even more safety in the bathroom.
The three lever mixer versions of the HANSAFIT are notable for the eye-catching handle: it has a Soft-Touch surface, which means it is easy to hold and non-slip. The material is also heat-insulated and nickel-free - of particular benefit to allergy-sufferers. HANSA provides easy safety on all lever mixer models with individually adjustable hot water limiters and water volume restriction. The version with the HANSATIPTRONIK FLEX button is the perfect solution for those who desire ultra fast operation. The system is cleverly combined with a control unit – HANSATIPTRONIK FLEX – that is connected to the thermostatically controlled mixer unit under the washstand and can be positioned freely anywhere in the room. General advantage: the temperature is pre-set, and the water flow stops after a maximum of 15 seconds. The third lever mixer in the HANSAFIT series gives the user clear added valuable thanks to the combination with a practical hand shower. The shower can be fitted flexibly, for instance next to the washstand or the WC, and so offers optimum ease of use. It is ideal for washing hair, filling containers, cleaning items, intimate hygiene, and showering other people or animals.
The HANSAFIT shower rail sets are suitable for private bathrooms as well as commercial and care home use, where the firmly attached holding bar provides additional safety. The sets are perfect for combining with the HANSAFIT shower and bath thermostats. The thermostats have an integrated hot water limiter that keeps the temperature at 38°C to protect the user against scalds when showering and bathing – and the THERMO COOL function also prevents the housing from heating up thanks to a special channel for the hot water routes on the inside. Furthermore, the contrasting, easy to use control elements with Soft-Touch surfaces guarantee a safe, non-slip grip. Thanks to the optimised water flow, the new hand shower in the series provides environmentally-friendly showering pleasure. It is also fitted with anti-limescale nubs, and offers the user the choice of three different spray types.
The new HANSAFIT hybrid mixer has been carefully planned down to the tiniest detail, and will enhance any modern kitchen. It has two ergonomically shaped, particularly easy to use levers with Soft-Touch surfaces for the easy adjustment of the flow quantity of hot and cold water. The additional non-contact function ensures that mixed water flows for a pre-set length of time – ideal for hygienic working in the kitchen and a quick hand-wash at any time. The water temperature can be pre-set directly on the mixer using the anthracite-coloured ring, and appears in the display. The display has a further safety function: it tells the user if the temperature of the water is too hot and there is a risk of scalding.
With a wide range of options, the HANSACONCERTO mixer series fulfils every requirement for non-contact washstand mixers. It is available as a mixer or cold water mixer, and for battery and mains connection. A model can also be used with an additional plinth riser as a free standing mixer for top-mounted washbasins. Another option is a tempered battery for wall mounting with a swivel spout.
Its compact, gently rounded design and tremendous functionality makes the HANSACONCERTO a visual highlight, both in private bathrooms and in semi-public and public areas. Two versions of the HANSACONCERTO are fitted with automatic rinse functions specifically for use in commercial applications. If the mixer is not being used, every 72 hours it will automatically rinse itself for about 30 seconds. This function reduces the risk of water stagnating in the pipes, and guarantees a consistently high quality of drinking water.
Thanks to its timeless yet modern design, the elegant HANSALANO washstand mixer blends beautifully with any bathroom ambience, but also looks just as good in the kitchen, perhaps as a second mixer. The non-contact operation of this elegant mixer makes it particularly user-friendly. However, the electronics are not only used for comfort, but also ensure that the shiny chrome surface remains free of fingerprints and always looks perfect. Less cleaning effort is required, while the hand hygiene meets even the highest standards. Thanks to its economical use of water and energy, HANSALANO is not only suitable for private bathrooms, but also integrates perfectly with high-quality sanitary objects in semi-public areas. Adjusting the water temperature is easy and precise. The mixer only runs 6 litres of water per minute. The HANSALANO is operated by a 6 volt battery, and is very low-maintenance.
A large hydra rain shower head of 238 mm diameter and a hand shower with massage function are key features of HANSAFORSENSES, and turn the daily shower into a wellness experience. The integrated shelf that keeps soap and shampoo close at hand adds to the comfort level in the shower. Perfect for contemporary bathroom design, the shelf in a modern high-gloss white adds exceptional accents.
One particular feature of the shower system is the combination of high shower comfort and economical water consumption. HANSAFORSENSES appeals for its unique water saving function with a playful component that further enhances the showering pleasure. The clever Tiptronik button uses coloured light signals to indicate the ideal shower length – green is the environmentally friendly one, red has a higher consumption – and also acts as a flow adjuster. Just a touch of a finger is all it takes to start the water flow for 4 minutes. However, it can be stopped or lengthened as desired. The thermostat of the shower system controls the water temperature, protects against scalding thank to the safety device at 38°C and the THERMO COOL function. It is easy to change the water flow from overhead shower to hand shower and back using the integrated changeover.

On what would be his final day, Robert Barton made former colleagues laugh and cry with his eulogy of a longtime coworker, then later emailed information about the 1894 Yale football team to columnist Jeff Jacobs, promising to make a trip to the state library to retrieve more.
Barton, 83, who spent 29 years in various roles including copy editor and writing coach, at the New Haven Register and Journal Courier before retiring in 1996, died early Sunday morning at his Farmington home.
Those who saw Barton at the services for former New Haven Register and Journal Courier editor Don Sharpe on Saturday said his mobility had been slowed, but his wit was sound. Barton made reference to a contest the two men had to find the most typos, with the winner getting glazed doughnuts . He then apologized for taking so long as he used a cane to get down the stairs from the podium, then quipped he was double-parked and needed to hurry to avoid getting a ticket.
His wife, Judy, who met Barton while working as an Associated Press reporter in the bureau office at the New Haven Register, said he was in good spirits. "It was a mini-reunion, lots of really good people and many wonderful memories shared."
When not in the newsroom, Barton, a 1957 graduate of Yale, was a fixture in the Yale Bowl press box on autumn Saturday afternoons.
"Bob has had a huge impact on me and our record keeping, and he will be sorely missed," said Steve Conn, associate athletics director for Sports Publicity. "He was our football historian, the person I considered my writing mentor, a great storyteller, a kind and caring person and a real character. The press box at Yale Bowl won't be the same without his voice and presence coming from the front row."
Conn, who has worked at Yale since 1986 and has been in his present role as Yale's sports publicity director since 1993, has used scores of features from Barton in the program guides for Yale game programs over the years. And he always has been mesmerized by Barton's ability to keep score, even against computer programs.
"It was amazing to watch him chart a football game, especially while our stats team was inputting every play on a computer," Conn said "If we thought we missed something, we could always go to Bob for confirmation … and detail. Speaking of detail, he blew our minds every time he came to a Yale Football Media Luncheon at Mory's. Almost regularly, Bob would be asked to shed some light on a game of the past. He would provide the weather, the score and significant details."
Barton, a member of the New Haven Gridiron Club Hall of Fame, voted in the first New Haven Register Top 10 high school football poll in 1961, and in the final GameTimeCT/New Haven Register Top 10 poll this year — despite not officially working in the sports department. Ned Griffen, who now works at the Day of New London, recalled Barton calling in from Europe to submit his ballot early for the Register poll after Barton's flight was diverted due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Griffen was one of countless young football reporters Barton mentored, teaching many the importance of attention to detail, both with statistics and grammar.
Griffen recalled a play in a state championship game in 1994, when Ansonia used a trick play including a lateral from one receiver to another that led to a touchdown. There was confusion in the press box on how to award yardage.
Then, Griffen said, a calm, deep voice came from the back:
"The receiver gets credited with a catch and the yardage to the spot where he pitched the ball," Barton said. "The second player gets credit for the yardage where he got the pitch, but not for a catch."
"The majority of us crammed into the press box looked at one another for a moment, then furiously scribbled down Bob's sage wisdom," Griffen said.
Barton would offer a class in football scorekeeping before the start of each high school season. "I often hear his voice in my head when tracking a game," Griffen said.
A recipient of the Connecticut Sports Writers' Alliance's Art McGinley Award for meritorious service, Barton was chairman of the Bo Kolinsky Memorial Scholarship committee for 12 years, sending applications to each of the secondary schools in the state.
Barton was the first person editors approached when historical anniversaries approached. He was vital in a special section the Register printed when Yale became the first team to win 800 games. Special sections such as Hometown Heroes, Sports of the 20th Century, and the 200 at 200 series to commemorate the Register's 200th anniversary, all relied heavily on Barton's knowledge. He also wrote a popular column, "Catching Up," in the late 1990s and 2000s. He also was approached by different authors chronicling the history of Yale football, including Ansonia's Rich Marazzi.
"When I wrote a 'Bowl Full of Memories: 100 Years of Football at the Yale Bowl,' Bob was my guiding force along the way," Marazzi said. "One of the best decisions I ever made in my life was reaching out to Bob for his help. My original intent in writing the book was to recall my memories of Yale football and the Yale Bowl. When I sent him the first 100 pages of the manuscript, I was expecting a "job well done," response. Instead, he candidly said, "Nobody cares about your memories."
"That was the best advice I ever got," Marazzi said. "From that point, I decided to solicit the memories of decades of former Yale players going back to the 1940s to the present, the coaches, the fans, the media, etc. It totally expanded my thought process. If I was the heart of the book, he was the soul."
Judy Barton said her husband had a passion for accuracy, both with facts and grammar. She said she referred to his stat-keeping as "his little numbers." She noted he would keep stats at the games they attended, often together, once even in Hawaii, then would research other statistics when he got home, filling their basement with boxes of notebooks.
Those boxes of notebooks were valuable when Barton, Kolinsky and Gerry deSimas started compiling Connecticut's high school football record book.
"Bob was very generous with his time and the knowledge that he had accumulated over his career," said deSimas, who has published the Connecticut High School Football record book each year with the help of Barton. "He didn't hesitate to lend me his high school football books for me to copy so I could be prepared to cover teams here in northern Connecticut. Each book had every football result and scoring plays from nearly every game in a single season.
"For a sports historian, it was a treasure trove of information all in one place — gathered from papers from across Connecticut. You don't realize how valuable this is until you spend hours spinning the microfilm reels in the state library looking for a score of a single game or few tidbits on who scored in that game. And Bob was very willing to respond to emails on a Friday night to a reporter looking for a little historical perspective.
"His research helped make the state football record book possible. I am thankful he was able to take the time to investigate many, many submissions from around the state. It may be a single line but it means so much to that athlete and to the accuracy of the record book."
Sean Patrick Bowley, senior producer of GameTimeCT.com and who has covered high school football extensively in the state for 15 years, said Barton always took the time to offer additional information or critique his work.
"He defined sports coverage in this state and, even late into his retirement, his words carried weight with me," Bowley said. "He was my educational link to bygone era in writing and journalism."
Even the CIAC, the state's governing body, would refer people to Barton with historical questions.
"We referred people to Bob for records for years," Matt Fischer, director of information services for the CIAC, said. "He was also there to give me a friendly correction when I messed up on something. For example, he's the one who taught me a forfeit in football was 1-0 instead of 2-0. I questioned him on it and then did my own research and, as usual, found out he was correct."
"Bob's knowledge of Yale football history, and Yale sports history in general, was unparalleled," Marazzi said. "He was a Yale treasure. I doubt that anyone can fill his shoes."
Services will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652, 75 Main St., Farmington.

Wir (4 Erwachsene und ein Kind) waren hier im September zu Gast. Die Villa ist sehr schön und ruhig gelegen und sehr groß. Sie ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und wurde mit allem ausgestattet. Auch der Außenbereich, Pool und Terrasse, waren sehr gemütlich. Sehr schön hat uns hier die Beschattung durch die Markisen und die Bestuhlung mit den gemütlichen Liegen gefallen.
Der Weg zum Strand ist kurz und die Strände sind sauber mit kristallklarem Wasser. Unser bevorzugter Strand ist Cala Anguila.
Gut und günstig gegessen haben wir in Porto Cristo (z.B. im Restaurant Cap des Toi) oder in Cala Anguila-Cala Mendia, im Restaurante Las Palmeras. Lecker Brötchen für das Frühstück bekommt man gleich um die Ecke in der Federico Garcia Lorca.
Zum Einkaufen sind wir in den Eroski Markt nach Porto Christo gefahren, der ist nur 5 Auto-Minuten entfernt und hier bekommt man so ziemlich alles.
Vielen Dank auch für die ausgezeichnete Kommunikation während des Aufenthaltes.
Wir möchten auf jeden Fall hier wieder Urlaub machen.
jederzeit gerne wieder. Sie waren tolle Gäste und die Konversation hat Spaß gemacht.
Beautiful villa in a great location!
We have just returned from a week's stay in Casa Manu and had a fantastic holiday. The villa is spacious (there were 4 adults and 2 children in our group) with all the amenities you could need. The pool was lovely and a good size with lots of pool toys that the kids enjoyed.
The villa is located about a 5 minute walk from two great beaches (we preferred Cala Anguila) and a short walk to some small shops and cafes. The area is quiet and you can walk to all the things you need (including a great restaurant just a short walk across the road), but we had a car so we could explore Porto Christo (about a 5 minute drive) which has some lovely harbour side restaurants.
The owners of the villa could not have done enough for us and their communication was excellent throughout the stay. They answered any queries we had really quickly and were very helpful.
The villa was lovely, spacious and very well equipped down the the smallest detail, for example various condiments and even hand soap in the bathrooms. The villa is in a quiet location close to 2 beaches that are an easy walk even with children. The owners were great from the start and ensured everything was just perfect for us. There are plenty of restaurants and a car is really not required but if you want to explore may be worth renting. Having rented properties for holidays during the last 10 years I can say this is the best and certainly contributed to an overall a fantastic holiday experience. I am already planning to return next year.
Rested in this house in June-July 2018. We liked everything very much. The house is located between two bays and you can alternately walk to different beaches. ) Just 200 meters from a cozy restaurant. The house is well equipped, has everything you need for cooking. The Internet works at high speed, there is even an apple tv and the kids were very happy watching cartoons in the evenings ).
In Russian. Отличный дом, хорошая планировка, кухня оборудованная. Есть все мелочи: приправы, масла, хорошая посуда, игрушки для детей, настольные игры. Рядом два пляжа, до Порто Кристо всего 3 км, ездили туда иногда погулять. Пляжи песчаные, вода потрясающая бирюзового цвета. В общем, дом отличный.
We visited as two adults and two children (12 and 14).
The villa was very much as described and exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, spacious, well laid-out and full of character, both inside and out.
The pool and terrace were perfect for a relaxing holiday. We used the barbecue several times and the children spent as much time as they could in the pool.
All three bedrooms have comfortable beds and plenty of storage. The kitchen and living areas are well arranged for cooking, dining and relaxing.
The location is perfect, only 5 minutes from the beach and in a peaceful neighbourhood.
Both beaches, Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia, are fine sand and the sea is a good depth for all ages to enjoy. Snorkelling is highly recommended. In our opinion Cala Anguila has the edge over Cala Mendia. There are beach bars on both and lounger/umbrella facilities if you need them.
For shopping there are small convenience stores with a limited range of food and plenty of inflatable beach/pool toys within a couple of minutes walk of the villa. Since we hired a car, which was useful for shopping, exploring and getting to and from the airport, we found the Aldi supermarket in Manacor very useful and good value.
We ate out in Porto Cristo a couple of times. The waterfront Fusion Bar had a good value Tapas sharing plate with a relaxed atmosphere. Quince retaurant was also enjoyable and a little more formal.
All in all we had a very relaxing time at the villa and would highly recommend it.
Dear Thomas and family, thanks for having you. Gladly everytime again you are great guests.
We stayed here as a group of 4 adults and two young children (aged 2 and 3) in mid-June. The house was perfect for our needs and exactly as described in the listing; clean, spacious and really well presented inside and out. Everything we needed such as towels, WIFI, TV, beach toys were all provided so we felt very well looked after.
The large pool is brilliant and there is also a very nice patio with barbecue and outside dining area. You can walk to the nearest beach which is just 5 minutes away at the bottom of the road. There is also a small playground on the way (with trampoline, soft-play area and snack bar) where kids can let off more steam.
All the restaurants and bars we tried in Cala Anguila were excellent and not too pricey. We especially liked Cactus Bar (quite basic) and the Cala Mendia beach restaurant (also quite basic but fresh fish and great location).
Porto Cristo is well worth a visit and has a fantastic beach, marina and selection of restaurants. It is just a short taxi ride away that cost about 8 Euros.
One reservation is that the local supermarkets in Cala Angulia are quite expensive and don't have much fresh produce. We certainly weren't able to buy any meat or fish for the barbecue. If you are not planning to eat out every night, I would recommend hiring a car so you can explore the area and go to the larger supermarket in Porto Cristo. However, you can get really nice fresh bread from the little shop closest to the house.
Overall, we absolutely loved our stay at this villa. Cala Anguila is a beautiful, peaceful resort which is great for families and couples too. We would definitely recommend it to friends.
Dear Tom, Family and friends, thank you so much. We are very happy you felt so well. Very glad to have you again. Thanks also for your note concerning going to Porto Cristo to buy fresh and good foods.

After New START, Old Tensions
Russia's parliament ratified the New START treaty, but Russian domestic issues like terrorism, as well as U.S. and Russian presidential elections in 2012, make it unlikely that any further accords will be negotiated for a while, says CFR's Micah Zenko.
Interview by Micah Zenko, Interviewee
Bernard Gwertzman, Interviewer
January 26, 2011 12:03 pm (EST)
To help readers better understand the nuances of foreign policy, CFR staff writers and Consulting Editor Bernard Gwertzman conduct in-depth interviews with a wide range of international experts, as well as newsmakers.
Russia's parliament ratified the New START treaty, which was signed last April and ratified by the U.S. Senate last month. It is unlikely any further accords will be negotiated until after the 2012 presidential elections in both countries, says CFR nuclear expert Micah Zenko. The Russians he spoke with on a recent trip to Moscow are anxious about future U.S.-Russia relations if President Barack Obama is not reelected, and U.S. officials are uneasy that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who handpicked current President Dmitry Medvedev, might decide to run again for the presidency. Russians are concerned that they have no viable missile defense as well as about the superiority of NATO conventional forces. The United States is worried about Russia's numerical superiority in tactical nuclear weapons, which Zenko believes Russians want to retain as a potential force against China. Regarding the recent terrorist attack on the main airport in Moscow, Zenko says "security was remarkably poor" throughout the airport and Russians are very worried about terrorist threats from the south.
You were recently in Moscow at Domodedovo. What's the security like there?

Who Are Russia's War Hawks, and Do They Matter?
Thomas Graham
Does Putin's Gamble Make Russia's War in Ukraine More Dangerous?
The security was remarkably poor at all stages, from picking up the baggage to ticket counters to the drop-off from taxis. There are a lot of people milling around trying to pick people up for taxis. There are a lot of people trying to sell things. There was no search of baggage. We didn't see any security personnel or dogs. In fact, I was surprised by the lack of security throughout Moscow. You do see some armed police and metro police force in certain key parts of the metro station and on the streets. But for the most part, you don't see much security. There was very little private security as well.
All the assumptions are that the attack was staged by a Muslim group, probably Chechens from the Northern Caucasus. How do Russians feel about these terrorist attacks--the airport attack was not the first in Moscow?
The threats from the south, which are broadly defined, are raised constantly when you talk to Russian national security and military experts. The threats include Islamic fundamentalism out of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, and the very specific issue of the Chechen rebels.
People are very happy that the Russian "reset" has led to a greater confidence and trust. So that's a positive. The question then becomes, once both sides have done their homework on what's next, what can be done?
You were in Moscow primarily to talk with nuclear experts. Now that the New START treaty was ratified by both houses of the Russian parliament, what are the Russians interested in pursuing next?
Russia has several concerns. The first deals with its own military. Russia has no missile defense system to speak of. They talk about having one by 2020. And they're consolidating early-warning, space, and air defense systems into one strategic command. But they're very unlikely to do so. The second concern is to modernize the existing nuclear forces, both strategic and tactical. They're promising, if you read President Dmitry Medvedev's state of the union speech at the end of November, massive investments. The defense budget was increased by almost $10 billion for this year. [Another concern] deals with the United States. They're greatly concerned about the tactical nuclear weapons question specifically. They perceive their tactical nuclear weapons--which they have a great superiority in numbers--as necessary to deal with NATO's overwhelming superiority in conventional warfare.
NATO has an overwhelming superiority of conventional forces?
NATO has for a long time. There is the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty, which was supposed to deal with offensive conventional weapons. But Russia suspended its participation in the CFE Treaty in December 2007.
What is the CFE?
It has very strict inspection provisions which limit offensive systems. It limits the amount of planes and the forces on NATO borders. Russia says, "Look, as long as there's this disparity, we need our nuclear weapons." So the issue is: How do you deal with CFE? You might have to rethink CFE. And then the Russians in particular want the United States to withdraw the remaining 250 nuclear weapons that we keep in five places in NATO countries.
These are tactical nuclear weapons?
Are they concerned about the American plans for nuclear missile defense?
No. America has thirty interceptors, twenty-four in Alaska and six in California. They are directed against North Korea. What the Russians are concerned about is the project the Obama administration unveiled in September 2009 for Western Europe. The United States wants to put a missile defense shield over all of Europe, in four stages--2011, 2015, 2018, and 2020. U.S. officials say this in no way can threaten Russia's ICBM force, because the missiles aren't fast enough to ever shoot [down] a Russian ICBM going over the North Pole.
This is aimed at a potential Iranian missile force?
Primarily Iran, although Iran is not mentioned specifically. What Russia is particularly worried about is the 2018 and 2020 systems. Initially, it's just U.S. naval ships in the Mediterranean. But then it will be ground-based systems in Romania and then Poland. Russia is very worried what that will do to its secure, second-strike capabilities. If it puts Russia's secure, second-strike capability at risk, everything else is off the table.
Explain the second-strike capability?
Russian ICBMs need to be able to launch and not be destroyed on the ground before they could be hit by an American first strike, whether by ICBMs or by SLBMs (submarine-launched missiles) or by conventional weapons. They have to be secure in the ability to get off the ground before they can be hit by American weapons. And they have to be secure that they can't be intercepted on the flight over the poles before they hit American territory. Americans have told Russian technical experts that their missile system is in no way at threat. Russia's technical experts generally understand this. But political officials just don't buy it.
Political officials think we're building up defense so that we can hit them first and block their retaliation?
Hit them first, disable them, and block their retaliation.
So what happens now that New Start is ratified?
They've been dealing with numbers and verification provisions and inspections, and so there's an exhaustion on both sides. People are very happy that the Russian "reset" has led to a greater confidence and trust. So that's a positive. The question then becomes, once both sides have done their homework on what's next, what can be done?
There are two major things. The first is missile defense. Through what's called the NATO-Russia Missile Council in Brussels and through a bilateral working group with the U.S. and Russian officials and experts, they're coming up with joint threat assessments to try and understand: What is the ballistic missile threat to Russia? To Europe? To the United States? How might the United States and Russia share early-warning data? Share radars? And share sensors in some coordinated way to deal with that threat? The tricky issue is the missile interceptors. Medvedev proposed what's called a two-button system, or zones of defense, where Russia would protect its territory with a missile defense system and then America and NATO would protect their territory. This is unlikely to ever work. Just think about the logistical problems. Plus, there's the small issue that Russia doesn't have a missile defense. So there needs to be some understanding with Russia on missile defense that does not upset Senate Republicans.
Is the U.S. Congress really pressing to go ahead with missile defense?
They're not pressing ahead with anything that threatens Russia in the near term. They just don't want any constraints at all on U.S. missile defense. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen have gone before the Senate and said there are no constraints on the plans and policies, but whether Senate Republicans believe that is not clear.
The other big issue is tactical nuclear weapons. If you saw the last week of debate in the U.S. Senate, the big issue that Republicans brought up over and over again is the vast disparity in Russian tactical nuclear weapons and U.S. tactical nuclear weapons. The United States has somewhere between four hundred deployed and four hundred reserve tactical weapons. Russia is believed to have 3,800 deployed and 2,000 in reserve.
They have very many more. But there's great misunderstanding about where they're deployed, how operationally capable they are. What is the intent of them? So when I was in Moscow I asked everybody I met, every Russian, "Why do you need tactical nuclear weapons?" And everyone had a radically different answer, but the answer they won't give unless you press them on it is China. The United States cares if they're deployed in Western Russia. Then they threaten U.S. NATO allies in Eastern Europe. So the goal is to get these out of Western Europe. Put them in central permanent storage where they're very secure. But Russia wants to keep these, because they worry very much about China. But if you read Russian National Security strategy and military documents, they never mention the word China.
The Russians worry if Obama's gone, what will the future in U.S.-Russian relations be? And Americans worry the same thing if Medvedev's gone.
Could these missiles be used against China?
Yes. They would have to be redeployed. They'd be put on a train. They'd be attached to naval systems.
The last time the Russians and Chinese fought was back in 1970 or so.
Yes, the last time they fought was over the Yalu River. But that's why they want third-party involvement in the next round of [nuclear disarmament talks with the United States].
They want China in the talks?
They want China, in particular. But they're not going to get China. The Chinese have no interest in engaging in any discussion about their nuclear weapons. Those are the two main issues: missile defense and tactical nukes. I don't predict anything will happen before 2012. The U.S. election cycle almost forbids anything going in front of the Senate in an election year. And there's a great uncertainty about who will run for president in Russia at this point. It could be Medvedev seeking a second term, but it could be [former president and current Prime Minister Vladimir] Putin. Right now, the Russian president serves a four-year term but in 2012, the Russian presidency will be extended to a six-year term. And U.S. officials very badly want Medvedev, because the relationship with him is so much easier to deal with. But the Russians kept saying, "What happens if Sarah Palin's elected president? She likes guns. She likes bombs. She won't be friendly."
So they worry if Obama's gone, what will the future in U.S.-Russian relations be? And Americans worry the same thing if Medvedev's gone.

Woman left in 'absolute shock' after New Year's fireworks smash roof lantern
A WOMAN was left shaken after fireworks smashed into her roof lantern on New Year's Eve, smashing it and littering her living room glass.
Charlotte Clarke was relaxing at home on Friday, December 30, when there was a loud bang right above her head.
The 53-year-old then dived onto the sofa as she was showered with falling glass, leaving her terrified as she "thought a bomb had gone off in her living room".
Charlotte Clarke's living room was covered in broken glass. (C) Charlotte Clarke.
Charlotte, from Horley, Surrey, was in "total shock" when she discovered that premature New Year's Eve fireworks, allegedly fired from a house next door, had exploded above her, smashing her roof lantern.
A manager at the Salvation Army said her first reaction was to dive into the shelter when she heard the commotion above her.
While the falling glass did not hit Charlotte directly, large pieces landed on her coffee table, which took more than four hours to clean up.
After calling the police, Charlotte discovered that the apparent cause of the chaos was a 4-foot Eagle fireworks rocket that she said had been launched from a nearby garden during the early New Year. party.
Charlotte now claims that contact with the police has been minimal and that no one has come to her home despite the fact that the police said they would send an officer.
That same night, Charlotte took to social media to share her terrifying experience with the photos massacre.
She wrote: "I am literally shaking at what could have been very serious.
"I just walked into my living room and there was a very loud firework and then the glass above me broke and I dove onto my sofa.
"I was covered in glass, so lucky I didn't get any serious cuts – just a few scratches on my legs – but the kids are crying and there's glass everywhere.
"It turns out that our roof lantern was broken by professional fireworks. Could have been fatal.
"The police are involved – we found the fireworks."
The images in Charlotte's post show her living room covered in dark blue shards of glass, ranging in size from powdered to large visible pieces, inserted into the table.
Another picture shows Charlotte's daughter standing with a rocket for comparison as she is almost the same height as her.
The post received more than 400 likes and more than 100 comments from users who reacted with shock at the chaotic scenes.
One user wrote: "I'm not Karen, but maybe it's time fireworks were only available for professional displays.
"Any old geek can get them without brain cells. I really hope you're all right, I can't imagine the fear.'
Another commented: "I'm so glad no one was hurt and more thankful it didn't explode in the house.
"Someone cares about you tonight, even though you may not feel it right now."
A third user added: "I'm sorry to hear that, all fireworks should be banned."
Another said: "Gosh that could have been really frustrating, glad you and your kids are ok. I hope the police will get answers. Stay safe Charlotte."
A fifth user replied: "Damn that sucks, glad no one was seriously hurt. Someone other than you has to pay 100% of the repairs."
Fortunately, Charlotte had one kind soul who turned to her for help.
The home improvement supervisor offered to send someone over free of charge in the morning to fix the hole in Charlotte's roof and waterproof.
Speaking today, Charlotte said: "I heard a very loud crash above me and immediately my first reaction was to put my hands behind my head and dive onto the sofa as I was showered with falling glass.
"It was so scary, I could almost see my life flash before my eyes, I thought a bomb had gone off in my living room!
"After that I was shaking, screaming and in complete shock. The glass was still falling in large pieces so my husband couldn't even reach me.
"He didn't touch me directly because I was on the opposite side of the glass.
"I was still covered in glass, but my kids were playing under the same spot just 20 minutes ago.
"It could have been fatal, especially when I see the big pieces of glass that crashed into my coffee table. It took four hours to clean up and I'm still finding glass."
Charlotte added: "The result is just as crazy but I understand that when someone is seriously injured the police don't want to know anything.
"I'm sure that the moment the police asked if I was injured and my husband said, 'No, just a few scratches,' we were put on the list."
"We called the police immediately after the hit and were given a crime information number and told it was criminal damage.
"They said someone would be coming so we left the hall alone so they could see the destruction. No one came and the fireworks started.
"We called the police again and they told us to call 101. We called and were kept waiting for an hour.
"If the police had arrived they could have stopped the fireworks and investigated the serious impact the fireworks had caused."
A spokesman for Surrey Police said today: "We received a report of criminal damage at around 7.35pm on December 30 at a property in Wolverton Gardens in Horley.
"Unfortunately, there are currently no proportionate lines of inquiry and the inquiry has been closed pending further information."
