Funds of last resort
By 2006-09-21T00:00:00+01:00
The Treasury's proposed changes to the FSCS will help mesothelioma sufferers obtain compensation, but this is likely to adversely affect the industry. Sonja Dale explains
Earlier this month the Treasury, in conjunction with the FSA, published a document on mesothelioma compensation and proposed changes to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. If taken up the changes will have a marked effect on some insurers.
Mesothelioma is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. There are now over 1,800 cases a year, and the rate is rising. The effect of the recent House of Lords' decision in Barker v Corus [2006] was to force the mesothelioma-suffering claimant to trace all relevant defendants before liability in his claim can be apportioned, or to issue multiple claims and recover piecemeal damages.
In practical terms, this would mean lengthier claims, with difficult and time-consuming issues for claimants who were already ill and stressed. And, of course, there would be increased costs.
The Compensation Act 2006 reverses the effects of Barker, and allows the claimant to receive full compensation from any liable party, and that party could seek a contribution from other negligent persons.
The Act makes "responsible persons" jointly and severally liable to meet the full amount of any claim arising from negligently exposing the claimant to asbestos leading to development of mesothelioma.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) provides a fund of last resort for insurers' customers, including those affected by the default of such firms, such as if a firm has ceased trading, or is in insolvency. But the key point to remember is that it is a fund of last resort.
The FSCS can pay compensation if a firm is unable, or likely to be unable, to pay claims against it. Currently, it cannot make a payment to a responsible person seeking a contribution from a defaulting insurer in cases where the victim of mesothelioma has had his claim settled in full by that responsible person.
In a typical claim, a claimant will be seeking compensation from only one responsible person. The claimant will choose a medium to large employer, usually one that has appropriate insurance cover.
Once liability has been established, that responsible person, and of course his insurers, will be liable to pay 100% of the compensation.
The responsible person or his insurer can seek a contribution from other responsible persons. The FSCS, however, cannot make a contribution on behalf of a defaulting insurer of another responsible person where the victim has been compensated in full. This clearly puts responsible persons and their insurers seeking contribution at a distinct disadvantage.
The changes proposed to the FSCS would allow a responsible person and his insurer which has settled a claim, to recover a contribution from the FSCS where the claimant has developed mesothelioma and could recover compensation from the FSCS.
Therefore, the contribution from the FSCS will only arise in circumstance where the FSCS would be called upon to contribute by the claimant directly, namely where an insurer of a liable employer is, for example, insolvent.
In the absence of these proposed changes, there is no mechanism for a responsible
person liable to the claimant for 100% of his claim (by virtue of joint and several liability under Section 3 of the Compensation Act 2006) or his insurer to recover a contribution funded by the FSCS.
Swift payments
How do these proposed changes affect the current situation?
First, the Compensation Act should make it easier and quicker for mesothelioma sufferers and their families to receive compensation.
Second, the proposed changes to the FSCS should help insurers that pay compensation to a claimant and will then be able, in the specified circumstances, to claim a contribution from the FSCS.
The changes will allow them subsequently to recover appropriate contributions from other responsible persons or their insurers, including the FSCS if the insurer is insolvent.
This should ensure no delay in paying compensation to the claimant while the FSCS' liability is investigated.
At the same time, insurers/responsible persons are only paying out similar compensation as they would have done prior to the Barker judgment.
Finally, other insurers may also be affected through changes in the timing of levy payments they are required to make to fund the FSCS. If claims are paid more quickly by the FSCS, then the cost to levy payers will also arise more quickly as a result.
The consultation document suggests, therefore, that the cost impact may be felt more heavily by the insurance industry in the next few years. IT

Electronics maker Sharp has agreed to pay $198.5 million to settle a TFT business lawsuit with Dell and two other companies, Reuters reported.
In March 2010, the world's third-largest PC maker Dell filed a suit against Sharp, Hitachi Ltd. Toshiba Corp, and two other companies for alleged LCD display price fixing. Dell's partners could be AT&T and Nokia, since both companies named Sharp in similar suits in 2009, though it is not clear who else was involved in the settlement.
Last week, Toshiba was fined $87 million in a California district court ruling that confirmed the company was conspiring with competitors to fix prices of TVs. The company, however, said it doesn't expect to actually have to pay the damages following a previous settlement with the case's other defendants.
Sharp was involved in another lawsuit in December that forced the company, as well as Samsung and Hitachi, to pay a $553 million settlement in a New York price-fixing case.
Editor's Note: This story was updated at noon Eastern with comment from Dell.

From Magic to Minecraft: DK Expands List with New Licenses
By Karen Raugust |
DK has made a number of new additions to its portfolio of licenses, dipping into the varied worlds of movies, board games, TV, education, and video gaming.
First up is Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited James Cameron film, for which DK is the global exclusive nonfiction publisher. Set to publish day-and-date with the December 16 release of the movie are three key DK formats: Avatar: The Way of Water: The Visual Dictionary, The Art of Avatar: The Way of Water, and Avatar: The Ultimate Sticker Book. These follow The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration in May 2022, which features information about the first movie, released in 2009, along with some hints about the new film.
"The films are just so groundbreaking," said publishing director Mark Searle. "It's been several years since the first movie was released, but there's still a big Avatar fan base. The World of Avatar did really well for us."
Another new deal for DK is with Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast and its Magic the Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing games. Magic the Gathering: The Visual Guide came out December 13. "It takes the artwork from the cards, and all the lore, and brings it to life," Searle said. "There are lots of insights into different parts of the world."
The first D&D title, which follows in March 2023, is Dungeons & Dragons: The Legend of Drizzt Visual Dictionary. It is inspired by the long-running and most successful D&D novel series but brings in all the elements of the greater D&D franchise. "This is about the weapons, classes, and characters, and all the lore," Searle said. "There's a passionate group of people who love this game and want to know more about it. This is accessible to the new fans, but it gives something new to even the most avid gamer." Illustrations include archival art from Wizards of the Coast as well as original art commissions for the cover and some of the interior spreads. "That allowed us to expand and annotate parts of the world that have never been seen before," Searle explained.
Both properties have always extended down to age 11 or 12, but lately even younger kids have been getting into them, especially D&D, Searle said, noting that exposure on Stranger Things, anticipation for a new D&D movie in 2023, and middle-grade novels (from HarperCollins) are among the factors contributing to the property's popularity with younger fans. "There's never been so much activity among kids. It's really having a moment."
DK is also launching books based on two educational properties for children. It is tying in with Sesame Street for the first time, publishing Elmo Asks Why: A First Encyclopedia for Growing Minds, in September 2023, to be followed by more titles in 2024 and beyond. The initial title answers the questions young kids often ask, such as: Why is the sky blue? Why can't penguins fly? Why can't I eat cookies all the time? DK has an extensive publishing program for preschoolers, but aside from its recently signed license with The World of Eric Carle, it has not done much licensing in this space. "Sesame Street has always been about explaining to kids about the world around them, and so has DK," Searle noted.
The company is also publishing three paperback quiz books in July 2023 with Kahoot!, an online quiz platform that attracts one billion players a year, including 50% of U.S. teachers. The first Kahoot! Quiz Time books, which feature 250 trivia questions per title for middle grade readers, include Animals, The Human Body, and Space.
Finally, DK has paired with Minecraft for The Minecraft Ideas Book, scheduled for October 2023 and meant to spur the imagination. Projects in the book are inspired by the real world, such as the Great Wall of China or an amusement park obstacle course, with tips on what kind of digital building materials to use. The title is for ages seven and up and includes projects with a range of complexity that will appeal to all ages, Searle said. The book is similar to another DK licensed title, The Lego Ideas Book (2011), which has sold more than two million copies and led to several spin-offs as well as a new edition this past September.

Often times, if not more, we prefer watching high definition videos on a big screen no matter how alluring the smartphone happens to be. This was made possible with an HDMI cable connected to your smartphone where the audio and video could easily be displayed and viewed on any compatible receiver like a television or a computer monitor. However, the glitch is the endless cables and then there is also the Wi-Fi coming into the picture.
Contradicting the traditional usage of cables, Miracast is an app designed specifically to enable seamless display of multimedia content between its compatible devices. Miracast makes use of neither an HDMI cable nor an internet connection. To begin with, Miracast came into existence when the Wi-Fi Alliance that collectively enforces standards for the Wi-Fi brand, built it upon a technology called Wi-Fi Direct. This technology doesn't make use of even a wireless router and the streaming is done in a continuous flow. The Miracast app is compatible with all the Android Phones running with 4.2 or newer version.
The main principle behind this Android Miracast App is that it allows the Android mobile device to discover and pair with the other Miracast-compatible receivers such as televisions and set-top boxes. Now, the Miracast Android will mirror the copyright-protected content, if any, and will mirror all the contents of the mobile screen onto the receiver, per say, television. Everything will be a wireless display along with a standard video/audio streaming.
Connecting the Android device to other devices has now become a necessary obligation due to the increased need for sharing thereby leading to mirroring application. In order to enjoy the features of this mirroring app on Android devices, some of the best Miracast Apps are the only option. However, one thing to remember is that Android Miracast App doesn't go with the same name as Miracast.
This is one of the top Miracast Apps through which all the Android devices like phone or tablet can be allowed to manage from Windows, Mac or the Web. Also, the entire procedure is wireless and free of cost. This is a trusted app and is recommended by numerous media/websites such as PCWorld, BGR, LifeHacker, CNET, etc.
The app is small with a size around 10 MB and is very effective to use.
Apart from screen mirroring, AirDroid is also the best device manager for files and media.
The app allows for a Backup & Sync, Recording screenshot, and sending SMS & Contacts management from the desktop.
Screen Stream Mirroring Free does all its functions in real time when it comes to mirroring and broadcasting. The screen can be shared with any other device through media player, web browser, Chromecast, and UPnP / DLNA devices.
One can live broadcast everything to Youtube Gaming, Facebook, etc.
Presentations related to work or education can also be made.
The screen can also be used to record files.
AllCast app is one of the easiest and highly compatible Miracast Android apps that will enable the user to send photos, music, videos, apart from mirroring the screen. This app has a free version but it is only a five-minute preview and one has to switch to a premium to enjoy the full features.
The screen of the Android device is shared mainly with Television.
This app can also cast Chromecast, Amazon FireTV, Apple TV, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and many others.
It has a Wake Lock feature that keeps the Android turned on while streaming.
iSkysoft Toolbox - Android Screen Recorder is a multifunctional software used to mirror as well as record the Android screen onto a PC. This is ideal to project Android Games with a high resolution along with a recording of the game to be shared with friends. Making of demos/tutorials, recording videos, audio files, creating presentations, etc. are the varied capabilities of the iSkysoft Toolbox - Android Screen Recorder.
It is possible to control the Android Phone without any lag.
Multiplatform Compatible – Supports almost all the Android devices from versions 4.3 to 7.
The video and audio resolutions can be adjusted prior to recording so there is no need to compromise on quality.
App and text messages can be answered directly from the PC.
Miracast Widget and Shortcut is one of the best Miracast App that serves a perfect example of a cross-platform solution. This Miracast App is easy to handle and is highly compatible. This app provides a shortcut to make use of the Miracast feature from supported applications. All it takes is a single click for your Android to scan and pair up with the other Miracast compatible devices.
A shortcut to directly send the device's display to the TV or computer monitor is available.
Screencasting is possible with numerous products like Google Chromecast, Netgear Push2TV, etc.
The changes in the old version of the Android has a dialogue interface to disable the shortcut directly.
True to its name, Screen Monitoring is one of the best Miracast App to share your android screen with the smart TV/Displays. This app will share not just the screen but also the videos, music, photos, and basically, any multimedia content with the Miracast Android compatible devices. However, its functionality is same as that of using HDMI minus the cable.
The screen mirroring is possible with various Samsung smart TVs and laptops.
Works on the Android devices with version greater than 4.2.
Also works on Roku using Roku media player channel.
Screen Recording and Mirror is not just about screen sharing. The Android screen can be recorded into a video file and can be displayed to any other device including another Android device. There are a separate set of instructions to be followed for monitoring between Android to Android or Android to other displays.
The video file or screenshot recording can be displayed to Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chrome.
No setup is necessary if the receiver is an Apple TV.
GIF's are also supported through screen recording.

Bundesliga agrees four-season TV deal with Sky Sports UK
Fussballstadt 0 August 5, 2021 7:58 am
Chris Williams – Bundesliga Editor
Sky Sports is the new home of Bundesliga football in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland after the two companies signed a four-season deal running until May 2025. It's an agreement that sees an extension to the DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga's partnership with the broadcaster, following long-term collaborations in Germany and Italy.
For the first time since 2013, the Bundesliga will be broadcast in the United Kingdom and ROI by someone other than BT Sport, who acquired the rights when it took over ESPN's television business as part of its startup service.
However, less than 10 years later the BT Group is exploring ways to exit the sports television market. With less than two million subscribers BT has reportedly opened talks with streaming services such as Amazon, Disney, and DAZN to see if the market can be exited, and the Bundesliga serves as its first major rights loss since the company realigned its business strategy.
For Sky the situation couldn't be more different, the company is Europe's leading media and entertainment brand – boasting 23.4 million subscribers across the continent. It is this positioning in the marketplace which has allowed the company to strike a lucrative deal with Bundesliga International – said to be significantly higher than any previous Bundesliga-UK rights agreement.
Sky Sports Managing Director Jonathan Licht spoke on the partnership "We are delighted to have acquired the rights to the Bundesliga. Our customers will have the opportunity to watch some of the best players in the world, as well as some of the leading teams in Europe," adding it was a four-year agreement that places Sky Sports as 'the home of live football in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
Jude Bellingham is one of several British stars that will focus Sky Sports UK's Bundesliga coverage
Sky plans to broadcast Bundesliga matches across its linear satellite channels as well as utilising a range of digital and social platforms to promote the league. There has been no confirmation if 'Sky Bundesliga' will be brought into the fold, as seen in Germany, but company sources told FussballStadt that there is a plan to grow content as the deal progresses.
Due to the UK blackout of Saturday 3 pm televised matches, the traditional Bundesliga slot of fixtures will not be broadcast live – it will be the Friday night and Saturday evening games that will make up the backbone of coverage, with two additional Sunday ties completing the weekend lineup.
There has been, as yet, no mention of 2.Bundesliga coverage – but sources at both Schalke and Hamburg told FussballStadt they were optimistic that the league could be brought to UK screens as soon as possible; be that with Sky, or through a streaming service.
Bundesliga International CEO Robert Klein was keen to stress just how significant this deal was for the top-flight, now the second most lucrative in Europe, "This is a partnership that will deliver the best of the Bundesliga week-in, week-out, through world-class production and multi-platform coverage," he said – adding that Bundesliga fans will benefit from a 'first-class football viewing experience'.
FOR MORE GERMAN FOOTBALL LISTEN TO THE GEGENPRESSING PODCAST NOW!
The season opener takes place on Friday 13 August, as Borussia Mönchengladbach host Bayern Munich in a 7:30 pm kickoff with a 'Topspiel' of Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt a day later at 5:30 pm – both fixtures will be live on Sky Sports UK.
But it's the Klassiker matchup of Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich in the Supercup which will allow the broadcaster to show its first big clash of the season, on Tuesday 17 August at 7:30 pm.
The Bundesliga is currently home to several British players, including Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham and Bayern's new recruit, Omar Richards.

Introduction to Collections Management students learn from Jim DeYoung how to remove prints from acidic paper.
Conservation blends art, science, disciplinary knowledge, and hands-on skills. Students in Nicolette Meister's Introduction to Collections Management class recently experienced this intersection through paper conservation workshops provided by Jim DeYoung, senior conservator at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Preventive conservation is emphasized in Nicolette's class, but knowing how to hinge works of art on paper using Japanese tissue, safely remove adhesive residue, and repair small tears are important hands-on skills. Jim presented two workshops—one focused on washing paper and one focused on adhesive removal and paper mending.
Jim refers to his approach to paper washing as a "tabletop marinade." He demonstrated his technique by placing a work of art on paper between two sheets of spun-polyester fabric and slowly applying a controlled mist of distilled water, which was then brushed over the print to ensure even saturation. This process was repeated multiple times until the color of the excess water changed from scotch-like in appearance to nearly clear. Even good quality paper becomes yellow and discolored over time as a result of acidic enclosures and environmental conditions. Through careful table-top washing, discoloration can be removed or rendered less visible. This is a technique performed by conservators, but students were able to participate in the process and see first-hand how contaminants can be safely removed from works on paper.
Nathan Lemke'21 removes adhesive residue from a print.
The next lab brought students to the bench. Each student worked with a print pulled from an album of print clippings by Wright Museum curator, Christa Story. The prints were glued to poor quality craft paper pages. Jim demonstrated how to safely remove the prints from the pages by manually folding and removing the paper around the adhesive until only the paper over the adhesive remained. Students used a poultice of methyl cellulose to loosen the adhesive. They then carefully removed the craft paper and adhesive using bamboo skewers and metal spatulas.
"I enjoyed working one-on-one with Jim. He showed me how to distinguish machine-made versus handmade paper, as well as telling me about artist's watermarks," says Morgan Lippert'21.

The conservation workshops provide one-of-a-kind opportunities for students to learn directly from practicing conservation professionals. Through the generous support of Rick Dexter'70, the Museum Studies program is able to bring a conservator to campus every other year. The emphasis switches between the Logan Museum of Anthropology and Wright Museum of Art, so students can engage with conservators with different expertise. The visiting conservators also present a public lecture. Jim DeYoung presented Complex Conservation: from the Large Scale Old Master Prints to Double Sided Watercolors, which was well attended by Museum Studies students and students in Kristin Labby's chemistry class, Instrumental Analysis of Art and Artifacts.

Man convicted of 21 sex charges, could face 330 years in prison
Man could face up to 330 years in a state prison
Joshua Kellogg
Harold Atencio was convicted of a first-degree felony count of criminal sexual penetration and 21 second-degree felony counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor.
The one-day jury trial was held Wednesday in Aztec District Court in front of Chief District Judge Karen Townsend.
A sentencing hearing has not been scheduled in the case.
FARMINGTON — A Farmington man convicted by a jury of more than 20 felony sex charges faces a centuries-long prison term for inappropriately touching and molesting a 10-year-old boy.
Harold Atencio, 55, was convicted of a first-degree felony count of criminal sexual penetration and 21 second-degree felony counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor, according to San Juan County District Attorney's Office Chief Deputy District Attorney Dustin O'Brien.
Atencio had confessed to various sex offenses. He was charged with performing oral sex on the boy and molesting him, according to The Daily Times archives.
Ruth Wheeler, Atencio's attorney, said they will appeal the jury's decisions. She believes there are a number of winnable issues on appeal.
The jury's decision was a positive result for the victim, and Atencio could face up to 330 years in prison on the convictions, according to O'Brien.
The investigation by the San Juan County Sheriff's Office started on Dec. 26, 2017, when the victim's father contacted the Sheriff's Office to report sex offenses involving the boy.
The incidents occurred in June 2017 and in October of 2017, when the boy and his siblings were removed from their mother's residence in Kirtland by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department.
Atencio was a neighbor of the children's mother.
The boy told his father Atencio would touch him in the "private parts," according to court documents.
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office in Inverness, Florida, conducted interviews of the victim and his siblings. The father and siblings had relocated to the state from New Mexico.
Atencio was interviewed on March 19, 2018, by detectives at the San Juan County Sheriff's Office. He confessed to inappropriately touching the boy during the interview.

This paper presents an enriched finite element method to simulate the growth of cracks in linear elastic, aerospace composite materials. The model and its discretisation are also validated through a complete experimental test series. Stress intensity factors are calculated by means of an interaction integral. To enable this, we propose application of (1) a modified approach to the standard interaction integral for heterogeneous orthotropic materials where material interfaces are present; (2) a modified maximum hoop stress criterion is proposed for obtaining the crack propagation direction at each step, and we show that the "standard" maximum hoop stress criterion which had been frequently used to date in literature, is unable to reproduce experimental results. The influence of crack description, material orientation along with the presence of holes and multi-material structures are investigated. It is found, for aerospace composite materials with g ratios of approximately 10, that the material orientation is the driving factor in crack propagation. This is found even for specimens with a material orientation of 90, which were previously found to cause difficulty in both damage mechanics and discrete crack models e.g. by the extended finite element method (XFEM). The results also show the crack will predominantly propagate along the fibre direction, regardless of the specimen geometry, loading conditions or presence of voids. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

See full list on criminalcasegame.fandom.com
Hans was found impaled on a puppet pole in the center of town. Angeladid confirm that he died instantly when he was impaled. Analysis also revealed that he was knocked out by a large object. Drops found in the victim's head wound revealed he was knocked with a beer mug, with beer traces still on it. That meant that the killer drank beer.
In his childhood, Hans had tormented albino Klaus Weissmann along with the other children in town, leading Klaus to make an effigy of him in his adulthood. Meanwhile, he had been friends with Johan Schnee, but their friendship slowly deteriorated after Johan's brother, Christophe Schnee, disappeared while they were hunting out after Hans had left him alone to hunt on his own. In the present day, Hans agreed to make an interview with Mayor Nagel where he would "reveal a secret". Nagel saw it as an opportunity to convince Hans to fund an Oktoberfest theme park in the city as he had originally promised but withdrawn. Hans had easily beaten nudist tourist (and his fan) Gunther Fritz in a sausage-eating contest, humiliating the latter. Beer girl Gretl Beutelspracherbecame convinced that she and Hans were lovers, leading him to file a restraining order against her.
The killer turned out to be Johan. Initially denying involvement, Johan admitted he killed Hans because he thought the secret he would out during his interview with Mayor Nagel was that Johan accidentally killed Christophe. In court, Johan said that the Promethians told him that Hans would reveal his secret. Judge Adakusentenced him to 25 years in prison. The team would later find out that the secret Hans was going to expose was that the Promethians were planning to attack and destroy all of Europe, cementing their motive for murder. Meanwhile, they also found out that Johan had not actually killed Christophe; rather, it was Hans who shot the fatal arrow.
His name and a suspect's name (Gretl Beutelspracher) are references to the title characters of the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale "Hansel and Gretel".

Frank Vogel | Criminal Case Wiki | Fandom
criminalcasegame.fandom.com/wiki/Frank_Vogel
Frank was the Lieutenant General in charge of the New HavenCenter. His job entailed inspecting immigrants entering Concordia before they were allowed to pass through. He had short brown hair with sideburns, brown eyes, and a mustache, and donned a dark green uniform, which was adorned with three medals, before he died.
Frank was found on the docks with strange discolorations and blood coming out his mouth. According to the coroner, Richard Wells, the victim was poisoned with arsenic trioxide at least ten hours before his death. He also found traces of brimstone and lard in his stomach, both ingredients used to create a topical ointment used to reduce itching caused by head lice. The substance was ingested around the same time as the arsenic, so that meant it came from the killer, which meant the killer had head lice. Later, Dick came in saying he found traces of alcohol in the victim's blood, and that alcohol was drank at the same time the arsenic was. Maddie suspected it came from the pub, so she and the player investigated it again and found a vial of arsenic, it was later filed as the murder weapon. A substance was collected from the vial and then sent to Viola Pemberton, who said the substance was corn starch mixed with water. She explained it was used to starch white collars and give them a c...
At the scene of the crime, the team encountered Irish priest Father Donovan, who pointed the team in the direction of The Old Ale House, a tavern. It was later revealed that Father Donovan had been involved in an altercation with Frank due to his dictatorial attitude over the immigrants. One of those immigrants was Harriet Patrick, whose pet cow, Daisy, had been confiscated by Frank to be quarantined. At The Old Ale House, the team questioned tavern owner Walter Lombardi, who argued with Frank over the amount of Irish people that he was letting into the city. They also questioned dock worker Seamus O'Neill, who attempted to bribe Frank to allow his mother into the country. The team also interrogated nurse Nellie Mortimer, who was revealed to be Frank's ex-girlfriend.
The killer turned out to be Nellie. Nellie denied the accusations, but eventually admitted guilt. She said that during her affair with Frank, he had given her syphilis. Because of his apathy towards the women he slept with, Nellie put arsenic in his stout to stop him from infecting more women. Judge Takakurathen sentenced her to 13 years in prison.

Introduction and Excerpt from Retablos
(PDF 1.04 MB)
Stories from a Life Lived Along the Border
Octavio Solis
Recommended three times by the New York Times, and called one of year's Best Books by Buzzfeed!
Seminal moments, rites of passage, crystalline vignettes—a memoir about growing up brown at the U.S./Mexico border.
The tradition of retablo painting dates back to the Spanish Conquest in both Mexico and the U.S. Southwest. Humble ex-votos, retablos are usually painted on repurposed metal, and in one small tableau they tell the story of a crisis, and offer thanks for its successful resolution.
In this uniquely framed memoir, playwright Octavio Solis channels his youth in El Paso, Texas. Like traditional retablos, the rituals of childhood and rites of passage are remembered as singular, dramatic events, self-contained episodes with life-changing reverberations.
Living in a home just a mile from the Rio Grande, Octavio is a skinny brown kid on the border, growing up among those who live there, and those passing through on their way North. From the first terrible self-awareness of racism to inspired afternoons playing air trumpet with Herb Alpert, from an innocent game of hide-and-seek to the discovery of a Mexican girl hiding in the cotton fields, Solis reflects on the moments of trauma and transformation that shaped him into a man.
Praise for Octavio Solis's Retablos:
"Octavio Solis does with words and imagery, lyricism and details, humor and heartbreak what the master craftsmen and women of the traditional retablos do with wood and paint, achieving the same results: these short luminous retablos are magical and enticing. Unpretentiously and with an unerring accuracy of tone and rhythm, Solis slowly builds what amounts to a storybook cathedral. We inhabit a border world rich in characters, lush with details, playful and poignant, a border that refutes the stereotypes and divisions smaller minds create. Solis reminds us that sometimes the most profound truths are best told with crafted fictions—and he is a master at it. His is a large, capacious, and inclusive imagination. Just as the traditional retablos are objects of beauty ultimately meant as devotional pieces, Solis's Retablos will make devotees of his readers."—Julia Alvarez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents
"The murky flow of the Rio Grande River, the border patrol we call la migra, demons, a petty crime of stolen candy, street urchins, family squabbles, eccentric neighbors, and bike rides in which dust envelops a skinny kid named Octavio Solis. When he stops peddling years later, he'll spank the dust from his clothes, but not all of it. Some of it clings to his very soul, and will cling to us, the reader, in this tender and perceptive memoir. This is American and Mexican literature a stone's throw from the always hustling El Paso border."—Gary Soto, author of The Elements of San Joaquin
"Octavio Solis isn't a painter, but he ought to be. He's not a poet, but he could be. His isn't fiction or memoir but, like dreams, might be either. His vision of El Paso and the border is as though through an undulating haze of desert heat."—Dagoberto Gilb, author of Before the End, After the Beginning: Stories
"Solis has written beautifully about his youth on the border, never flinching from his childish blunders, nor failing to find soul in the frailties of others. These stories soar and shimmer with poetry and a playwright's gift for dramatic compression, comedy and pathos running through them arm in arm. Retablos is deeply moving, and a joy."—Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen: A Novel
"To enter into this book is like walking into a shrine, walls lined with beautiful paintings, each one colorful and visceral, depicting memories, life on the border, death and sadness and joy. This is one of the most memorable books written about the borderlands in years. Solis writes 'every memory we have has a patina of invention to it.' These stories have layer upon layer of images, meaning, and grace. Each short piece, each of the 'retablos' is a stunning, masterful painting. Some you will want to stand in front of for a long time, and others are brilliantly uncomfortable and can make you weep if you linger too long."—
Daniel Chacón, author of Hotel Juárez: Stories, Rooms and Loops
"The short-short format is often called flash fiction these days, but Octavio Solis' stories are more like slow fiction: a moment unfolds, revealing a life, a way of life, generations. He explores the borderlands, not just the streets of El Paso where he grew up, just across the Rio Grande from Mexico, but also those liminal zones between fiction and nonfiction, childhood and adulthood, and magic and melancholy. Small but mighty, these stories will stay with you long after the moment has passed."—Frances Lefkowitz, author of To Have Not: A Memoir
"A retablo is a devotional painting, playwright Octavio Solis tells us. In this poignantly written, heart-warming coming-of-age memoir, Solis pays tribute to those cornerstone moments in his life, negotiating borders at once personal and cultural, with such color that the reader is left spellbound. Astonishing, what more can I say?"—Greg Sarris, author of How a Mountain was Made: Stories
"Building on the events of his life, underscoring their 'miraculous' nature, Octavio Solis has honored, through words, those memories which we hold sacred—and I can see why. As an English professor, my first impression of the book is that its epiphanic moments reminds me of Joyce's The Dubliners. Also, resemblances could be drawn to Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio. . . . I very much appreciated this highly personal, lyrically written Retablos."—Eileen Herrmann, The Eugene O'Neill Foundation

Truth Or Dare With Krewella
Watch: A Trio of Hot Rock Stars Play Truth Or Dare
Yasmine: But I don't think they're going to want to watch Kris though. That's a problem.
DM: Well, you guys can sing and he can lip sync in front of you.
Jahan: No, he's the star. He has to be the star. Yasmine and I are following him in the background.
Yasmine: Yes!
DM: We've talked a little truth or dare, so obviously we need to talk about the album because that's what's coming out.
Jahan: That's the important part, right?
DM: When does it drop?
Kris: September 24th.
Jahan: It's called Get Wet.
DM: Get Wet? What does that mean?
Jahan: What do you mean, "What does that mean"?
Yasmine: It means a whole slew of things.
Jahan: It could be our dedication to performing, because we're always wet when we perform. It could be getting wet in a sexual way. It could be getting wet because you are running to our music. We just want people to get wet when they listen to our music. Being wet is very good for your vocals, lubricating your throat.
Yasmine: It is.
Jahan: My throat right now is extremely dry. We should talk about being wet all day.
DM: What's the first single?
Jahan: First single is "Live for the Night." We will be debuting that tonight [at EDC], performing live.
DM: Is that your favorite single in the album or is there any one?
Kris: I think it represents what we're doing.
Yasmine: And what's to come.
DM: What we can expect in this album?
Yasmine: We're doing some collabs. One of the tracks on the album is called "Dancing with the Devil." It's a collab track with [Blink-182 drummer] Travis Barker and [Fall Out Boy singer] Patrick Stump.
DM: There are all lot of expectations following your release of "Alive." How do you follow that up?
Jahan: With "Live for the Night."
Kris: What's cool about "Live for the Night" is that it's different.
Jahan: That's also why we really felt like "Alive" worked. It was so relatable and universal and it appealed to guys, girls — people of all different age groups. We understand that mentality right now. "Live for the Night" has that same feel, but it's a little harder. It's pushing a little more. We challenged ourselves with the production and the writing; it has these rap-singy-swaggy verses. People should expect something a little different from that too. We have a couple other songs which are we really think are great follow-up songs for "Alive." They capture that same universal emotion, too.
DM: You guys are also selling sex a bit too? Do you think that's part of your image?
Jahan: I don't really get any. My boyfriend deprives me of it. I'm always on the road.
Yasmine: So really, you deprive your boyfriend of it.
Jahan: I know.
DM: But it's always his fault?
Jahan: I'm just kidding. Sex is very important to us. We're open to talking about it too, if you want to talk about it.

Because athleisure 24/7 may have cut it as an undergrad, but it certainly won't work as an adult.
You know the secret to building a seamless, sophisticated closet: Establish an easy, reliable uniform with clever staples that are versatile but never basic. Now, it's time to pass that knowledge on. Launch your new grad into the working world and help her learn the ropes with the gift of these timeless must-haves.
Every girl needs a go-to carryall—bonus points for a luxe yet totally practical bag that gives off a coveted air of "I'm effortless, yet chic." This one will carry her straight from brunch to the boardroom (and anywhere else the day may take her), with a bright, playful color that screams confidence.
This spring, give your favorite grad the gift of looking away from that iPhone (if only for a second) by reminding her how stunning analog can be. This stylish timepiece is a classic that will stand the test of time, and is sure to draw a few "where'd you get that?"s from new colleagues.
Weekender Fairfield Watch, $60; timex.com.
Ladylike without being too serious, this staple can both dress up jeans and dress down business casual to a comfortable, modern level. Plus, its loose, flowing cut gives it the perfect youthful yet sophisticated vibe.
Help her navigate the ins and outs of dating as an adult with elegant, desk-to-date-night-ready pieces. This a-line skirt with Mediterranean boho styling does the trick—after all, now is the best time to learn that less leg can actually be way more.
Now that the diploma's in the bag, it's time she upgraded those scratched up drugstore shades for something more chic. These elegant sunnies will ensure she doesn't walk into work with cheap-looking lenses, and they won't break the bank (win for you!).
The key to looking professional—even on casual Fridays—is a sleek pair of flats. A neutral ballet slipper will keep her elegant in any outfit, while giving her feet a break from those high heels.
Lauren Scallop-Edged Leather Flats, $333; matchesfashion.com.
To celebrate her entry into the working world, splurge on a colorblock wallet with that all-grown-up wow factor. Because, really, fumbling for a subway card or cash on her way to the office isn't so cute!
Cedar Street Lacey Wallet, $178; katespade.com.
Of all the work wear she needs, a tapered pant is at the top of the list. These flattering twill slacks are equally beautiful when worn with flats, heels or boots, and can be dressed up or down as her office environment demands. She'll love them, and love you for them!
Twill Tapered Pants, $230; net-a-porter.com.
Sure, nautical-inspired attire is everywhere these days—but for good reason. It's casual but still stylish, and, when paired with a simple navy pencil skirt, transitions seamlessly from a weekend stroll to strutting towards the conference room.
French Sailor's Boatneck, $30; llbean.com.
When it comes to work appropriate accessories, simple is always best. A staple bracelet that she can pop on daily will add a perfect touch of class to any outfit, without going over the top.
Gold-Tone Tortoise Slider Bracelet, $85; michaelkors.com.


I'm an undergraduate studying mathematics at Stony Brook University and working with CATNIP Lab on a data visualization project. In pure math, the topology and geometry of 4-manifolds fascinates me the most, while computational neuroscience is my greatest interest in applied mathematics.
I also enjoy digital art, creative writing, and sci-fi novels. Right now, I'm reading The Difference Engine by William Gibson & Bruce Sterling.
My greatest accomplishment so far has been the release of Persistence, a topological data analysis library for Haskell. Besides going to school and working with the lab this year, I will probably be making some new digital art which you can find here or on my Shader Toy profile.


This is a popular road race combining a half marathon and 10k race with the same start and finish points.
Organised by the Rotary Club of Alderney. Open to all, but only the fit and healthy should take part.
Entry forms available online or from Selections, Victoria Street.

tomorrow myself and my cousins fro all over the country are having a reunion. should be about 60-70 including spouses and kids..
oh my, good luck with that one!
it's so lovely to catch up with family you have known since childhood.
so lovely. and you look at them all and wonder at hte glory of being elated to them all.
Not everyone wanted to wear nametags either...but we had to insist...so many spouses...and I was a newer spouse who only knew a few! The younger generation did all of the cooking, and did a great job! it's fun, but share the work among all who are willing! Let the kids do most of the work!
dinner time.... leaving Happy New Year wishes for sprite and he family. plus lots'n'lots of hugs for them all.

Good morning all, happy New Year.
Starting the year off cold :) -20C.
It is a ridiculous 8 degrees here. I'm sick of wearing thermal and flannel and my skin is dry. 78 days until Spring.
Zoom, if you are still there, the ri 10 & 11 do start with the tear word.

372! What a New Year treat!
For us on a holiday.
Is it a 'real' word, Chris?
Thanks Molly. Nope, I've never heard it either.
This word list annoys me. If they are going to include a word, there should be a definition given for it.

No, it had something to do with the electricity to the water heater.
I don't think they want to be in that club.
They were laughing about where their anatomy was when they got out of the cold water...Boys!
They are a mess...They have been here a week. Don't know what I'm going to do when they leave today.
There are just a few of those for sure.

Not nice, Mlf. will have to make it quick.

or a fierce angry animal would have had a real ri******** of a tantrum.
i cant seem to get any of the M words for the M bottom row. clues and stats welcome.
katrina was a ri******** of a storm for sure.
looking for others mael. ty.
wow got others too. ty to all cluers. great clues. ty.
do any of you have the 9 word? ty.
teach from which st 6? i have several alaready.
139 left while I watch the bowl games...In peace and quiet!
Has anyone clued the st10 please?
I'm trying hard to think of that, m9.
and then a word for paper lucre.
ooops that was the 9. apologies.
Thanks m9 - not in a million years would i have found that st10!
sorry. the 10 i have is ri 10.
Sorry, we must have been typing at the same time!
so i did not see the clue for the st 10.
I still haven't got that st10.
wow i am so confused.
i got it but wow. ty for all clues. good ones as i did get the word.
Many thanks for the great clues! Wonder what the word means?
135 left. I'm going for a break. Happy Babbling!
wow nan. amazing. i still ahve 157 to go and doubt i will do more.
no definition for that tr8?? How can they put words in that dont exist!!??
The tree is down and out!
No thanks. Hubby took care of it. Just have to vacuum up a few needles. Then we can reclaim our living room.
Ours is in the library, so it is out of the way. I usually keep mine up until The Epiphany.
We used to leave ours up longer - i.e. procrastination. Now, it's out on New Year's day or soon thereafter.
you aren't pining for the tree are you judi?
I knew you'd be here to needle me, RuRu.
It's a nev-fir ending battle.
Hey, I just realized the Ramones are in the grid today.
Good on ya, Leslie. I'm just late to the party today.

Pressure exerted by the gas inside this balloon exerts a force outwards in all directions, causing the rubber to stretch and the balloon to inflate.

More basic physics concepts
When you inflate a balloon or a tire, you are increasing the pressure on the inside of the object in order to "blow it up". Pressure is a scientific concept that applies to gases and liquids. Pressure is a force exerted ("spread out") over an area. In a balloon or a tire, pressure is the force that pushes outward, stretching the rubber. Pressure is measured in terms of force per unit area. In the English system of units, pounds per square inch (psi) is one common unit for pressure. In metric units (the SI system), the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to newtons per square meter (N/m2), is often used to measure pressure.
We use the concept of pressure in many situations when we talk about gases and liquids. When you pump up a tire on a car or bicycle, you use a pressure gage to decide how much compressed air the tire can safely hold. When you dive to the bottom of a swimming pool, you feel the pressure of the water (which gets stronger as you go deeper) squeezing in on your ears.
Earth's atmosphere has pressure. Atmospheric pressure is higher at sea level, and decreases as you go higher up in the atmosphere. Some weather systems have slightly higher pressure than others; weather forecasters often talk about "high pressure" and "low pressure" weather systems. Water also exerts pressure. A submarine has to have a strong hull to withstand the crushing pressure exerted by water when it is deep beneath the sea.
What causes pressure? Atoms and molecules in gases and liquids are constantly in motion, rapidly flying and bouncing and jostling about. They collide with each other, and also bounce off the walls of whatever container they are enclosed in. Whenever they hit the wall of a container (whether a balloon or tire or a SCUBA tank), they exert a tiny amount of force as they bounce off that wall. Summed up over millions of atoms or molecules, this force is what we experience as pressure. Imagine millions of microscopic balls bouncing around a room and off its walls at high speeds; that should give you a pretty good idea of how pressure works. The force of pressure is always pressing in a direction perpendicular to the "walls" of the container.
There are many different units used to measure pressure. Several of these are obsolete, but are still used in certain fields for historical reasons. As was mentioned earlier, pounds per square inch (abbreviated as p.s.i.) is common in the English system of units, and the pascal (abbreviated Pa) is the standard in the Metric (SI) system. Since the pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere is of great practical importance, pressure is sometimes expressed in terms of "atmospheres" (abbreviated atm). At sea level on Earth the pressure is 1 atm; at a depth of roughly ten meters beneath the oceans it rises to about 2 atm; and on the surface of the planet Venus atmospheric pressure is a crushing 91 atm! Since one atmosphere of pressure is equal to 101,325 pascals, you'll often see the kilopascal (kPa) used in actual measurements; atmospheric pressure is therefore just slightly greater than 100 kPa.
Meteorologists frequently use the bar and millibar (mbar or mb) when describing pressure associated with the atmosphere and weather phenomena. One bar is 100,000 Pa, or almost 1 atmosphere of pressure. A millibar is one thousandth of a bar, so 1 atm is 1,013.25 mbar. You'll often hear millibar used by meteorologists when describing low or high pressure weather systems or the low-pressure center of a hurricane.
In the past, pressure was often measured using an instrument called a manometer. The pressure of the air would force liquid mercury up a tube; scientists would measure how high up the tube the mercury flowed, and report the pressure in terms of inches of mercury or millimeters of mercury. Hg is the standard abbreviation for the element mercury. So, even today, you may sometimes see pressure reported in terms of "mm of Hg" or "inches of Hg". For example, when a doctor or nurse measures your blood pressure, they will usually report the result in terms of mm of Hg. One atmosphere of pressure is equal to 760 mm of Hg. An obsolete unit called the "torr" is sometimes used as a shorthand way of saying "mm of Hg".
When you measure the pressure in a tire with a tire pressure gauge, you are actually reading the pressure in the tire above and beyond atmospheric pressure. This is called, not surprisingly, gage pressure. If your gage says your tire's pressure is 60 p.s.i., for example, it means the pressure is 60 pounds per square inch higher than atmospheric pressure. The actual total pressure in the tire is 60 p.s.i. plus one atmosphere (about 14.7 p.s.i.), or 74.7 p.s.i.
Water (or other fluids) in pipes and other plumbing have pressure. Pressure plus speed plus height of fluids in a plumbing system are mostly conserved; some energy is lost to friction. A pump can be used to increase the pressure of a fluid in a pipe. This pressure can be converted to height as the fluid is forced uphill; or it can be converted to speed as the fluid is made to move and flow along. This is why water storage towers are usually erected on the tops of hills; as the water flows downhill from the tower to your home, it gains pressure which can be used to make it flow back up to eventually squirt out of an upstairs shower or faucet.

Los Juegos y deportes tradicionales canarios engloban las diferentes modalidades deportivas practicadas en Canarias, en su mayoría de origen rural, que se han ido transformando en actividades lúdicas, en algunos casos para evitar su desaparición y en otros, por simple competencia entre diferentes personas.

Aunque algunos de estos deportes ya eran practicados en mayor o menor medida por los antiguos habitantes de las islas, la mayor parte de ellos fueron traídos por los europeos que los colonizaron a partir del  y se practican de una u otra forma en otras partes del mundo.

Arrastre de ganado

Consiste yuntas de ganado vacuno que deben realizar un trayecto de ida y vuelta de 35 metros arrastrando un peso determinado con un límite de tres minutos. La ganadora será la que lo realice en un espacio de tiempo más corto. Cada yunta debe estar formada por vacas o toros (no mezclados). Estas se inscriben en diferentes categorías en función del peso que vayan a arrastrar durante la prueba. Existen competiciones regulares en Tenerife, La Palma y Gran Canaria.

Bola canaria
El juego llegó a las islas Canarias con los primeros colonizadores. La primera isla a la que llegó fue a Lanzarote, por eso también se le suelen llamar bolas conejeras, a partir de ahí se fueron difundiendo a las demás islas.

Similar al juego occitano de la petanca, la bola canaria ha tenido un auge en los últimos años gracias al aumento de fichas federativas de este juego, siendo junto con el fútbol y la lucha canaria, el deporte con más fichas federativas que hay actualmente en las Islas Canarias. El juego consiste en lanzar una bola desde el rayo, o marca de partida, con el objetivo de aproximarse lo más posible a una bolita, o boliche, con el mayor número de bolas disponibles del propio equipo. Los jugadores actúan a turno, decidiendo qué componente del equipo debe lanzar.

Reglas de juego
La partida es a 12 tantos, siendo habitual jugar más de una, normalmente dos partidas. El número de bolas es de 12 para cada equipo, jugando por cada equipo normalmente 4 jugadores, aunque también se puede jugar individualmente, 2 jugadores, tres e incluso 5 jugadores, variando el número de bolas por cada jugador según cuantos jugadores por equipo, siendo normalmente 3 bolas por jugadores para equipos de 4 jugadores. Las bolas de un equipo se diferenciaban de las de otro por el color, ya que las bolas de un equipo son verdes y del otro equipo son rojas.

Sin embargo, a pesar de que no cambia de manera sustantiva el juego, la principal diferencia con el juego de bolas reside en la calidad o material con que está hecha la bola. En Lanzarote se defiende la madera, en contra de la bola de pasta, que está también muy difundida. Los viejos jugadores defienden la bola de madera porque obliga a un juego más difícil, en el que es más costoso "embochar" (golpear la bola del contrario), al ser la bola más ligera y con algo de menor volumen

Calabazo
El calabazo era una técnica para elevar el agua de riego, de la que se tienen referencias desde 1868 en Los Llanos de Aridane, que pasó a convertirse en deporte o actividad de exhibición a partir de la década de los 80 para evitar su desaparición. Se cree que llegó a las islas a través de los colonizadores portugueses que se instalaron en La Palma. Básicamente consiste en elevar a un nivel superior el agua de una acequia o canal con los brazos con la ayuda de un calabazo. La herramienta se compone de un palo de madera dura de longitud variable, en función de la altura del desnivel, con un gran recipiente en su extremo con capacidad de 4 a 20 litros que, inicialmente, era una calabaza secada al sol y en la actualidad una serie de piezas de lata soldadas.

Levantamiento de piedras
Los aborígenes canarios ya practicaban el levantamiento de piedra pero se desarrolló tras la llegada de los europeos a las islas. Consiste en levantar piedras en estado natural con distintas finalidades como lanzarla lo más lejos posible, andar con ella una gran distancia o levantarla a la máxima altura. Estas piedras pesan mucho y son distintas para cada modalidad.

Se suele practicar en Lanzarote y Fuerteventura.

Levantamiento del arado
En este deporte rural, los competidores deben levantar un arado hasta la vertical, agarrándolo por el timón, bajarlo lentamente a la horizontal y dar un giro antes de dejarlo en el suelo.  La medida del arado oscila entre los 4,5 y 5 metros de longitud y su peso está en torno a los 70 kilogramos. El impulsor de este deporte fue el luchador José Rodríguez Franco (1912-1991) más conocido como el Faro de Maspalomas.

Lucha canaria

La lucha se desarrolla dentro de un círculo de arena denominado terrero. En él, dos luchadores se enfrentan agarrados por el extremo del pantalón, intentando derribarse. El principio básico es el desequilibrio del contrario hasta hacerle tocar el suelo con cualquier parte de su cuerpo que no sea la planta del pie, empleando para ello, con un buen agarre, una serie de mañas o técnicas. No se permite la lucha en el suelo ni ninguna clase de llaves o estrangulaciones para que no hayan heridos.

Juego del palo

Juego que se practica entre dos jugadores que, sin llegar a hacer contacto con el cuerpo del adversario, realizan un juego de esgrima con varas de madera rígidas llamadas palos, distinguiéndose tres modalidades definidas por el tamaño del palo: palo chico, palo mediano y garrote o palo grande. Su origen es probablemente aborigen y derivaría de funciones cotidianas como la defensa, manejo de animales y apoyo para caminar.

Pelota mano
Deporte del que se tienen noticias desde 1616 en Teguise, Lanzarote, que se juega por equipos, generalmente de cinco jugadores.  Básicamente consiste en devolver una pelota de cuero con la mano, lanzada por el equipo contrario, antes de que dé dos botes.

Salto del pastor

Dada la accidentada orografía de las islas, los aborígenes utilizaban una lanza compuesta de una vara de madera y un cuerno de cabra en el extremo para salvar desniveles u obstáculos. Con la llegada de los europeos a las islas, el cuerno se sustituyó por un punzón de acero. Con el paso de los años y la progresiva desaparición del pastoreo, esta práctica ha ido tomando un carácter lúdico. La denominación de salto del pastor proviene de la relación de esta práctica con las tareas propias del pastor cuando acompaña a su ganado. Aparentemente, el palo para realizar saltos es muy semejante al garrote empleado para el juego del palo grande; la diferencia reside en la incorporación castellana del regatón, o pieza de hierro, a modo de capuchón, que se sitúa en el extremo que se apoya en el suelo, asegurándose así el mejor agarre «Otras mil gentilezas hacen, como es arrojarse peña abajo con una lanza muchos estados, que, como son a todos notorias, no quiero gastar tiempo en escribirlas».

El viajero portugués Gaspar de Fructuoso, a finales del , en la isla de La Palma, describe la actividad con cierto lujo de detalles. Esta referencia, junto a la de Verneau (1891), son las más definitorias de esta habilidad:

«Arrójanse con la lanza, llevada a lo largo del cuerpo del hombre, terciada de manera que ponen un tercio primero en la tierra o piedra donde dan con una contera de acero que trae la lanza, de un palmo de larga con su cubo, sin que pueda desviarse de donde da, y aunque sea tres lanzas de alto se tiran abajo y vienen a ponerse en el suelo con tanta facilidad, que parecen aves». (Gaspar de Frutuoso, 1590).

Se conocen distintas formas de medirse los pastores a modo de juego, en las que se cuentan proezas, como a saltar cada vez a mayor altura, o un salto desde lo alto del campanario de la iglesia consiguiendo agujerear una moneda puesta en el suelo; o a otras formas menos frecuentes, como saltar pequeñas alturas con el palo sujeto a la espalda.

El salto del pastor es una actividad de deambulación por medio de un palo grande, lanza o garrote, con el fin de salvar los desniveles y accidentes del terreno. Su práctica se conoce en todas las islas.

Existen diversos tipos de saltos y técnicas para realizarlos. Los tipos más comunes de saltos son a apoyar y deslizarse por la lanza, cuando la altura que se salva es menor que la altura de la lanza; a regatón muerto, cuando se salta al vacío. La técnica más empleada es la de apuntar con el regatón a un lugar, apoyar y deslizarse con las manos, manteniendo éstas una con la palma de la mano hacia arriba, el brazo extendido y cerca de los muslos, y la otra sosteniendo el palo en su extremo superior con el brazo flexionado; se busca que el cuerpo rápidamente se adose al palo, de manera que mantenga durante toda su ejecución el equilibrio, por ello se recomienda que las puntas de los pies deben caer muy cerca del regatón (caer a plomo). Escrutinio.

Vela latina

Este tipo de embarcación se utilizó en   las costas del Mediterráneo y se cree que es originaria del Nilo o del Pacífico. En Canarias existen botes y barquillos. Probablemente su uso para la pesca y la necesidad de llegar a puerto primero para vender la captura, fue lo que la convirtió en un deporte de competición. Los botes, con una eslora de 6,55 metros, una gran vela triangular y ocho tripulantes, son utilizados en la Bahía de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria por sus condiciones, pues fuera de ahí, sería imposible manejarlo. El barquillo, sin embargo, ha sido utilizado en todas las islas aunque hoy en día, su práctica está más extendida en Fuerteventura y Lanzarote, siendo en esta última donde se celebró la regata más antigua que se conoce con motivo de las fiestas de San Ginés de 1904. Los barquillos de 5 metros de eslora llevan de 3 a 4 tripulantes y los de 8,55, de 7 a 12.

Note: This performance review was created when the 2017 Ram 1500 was new.
The 2017 Ram 1500 has a quiet interior and delivers arguably the smoothest ride in the class. Its base V6 provides ample power, but the available V8 has better acceleration and a higher towing capacity. The available turbodiesel is also great for towing, and it has some of the best fuel economy ratings of any full-size truck.
For its base engine, the Ram 1500 has a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. It has ample power for most situations, but it's not the best choice if you're going to be towing or hauling heavy loads. For those tasks, you'll want either the V8 or the V6 turbodiesel engine.
The available 5.7-liter V8 has the most horsepower in the Ram 1500's engine lineup. It puts out 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The V8 delivers hearty acceleration and plenty of power, but it does take a hit at the fuel pump; whereas the base engine gets an EPA-estimated 17 mpg in the city and 25 on the highway, the V8's ratings drop to 15 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. Those fuel economy ratings are comparable to the ratings of other V6 and V8 engines in the class.
If you're looking for the best fuel economy, you'll want the available 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel. It still has plenty of towing power thanks to the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque it produces, but it also gets excellent gas mileage for the class. It gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.
No matter which engine you choose, it'll be mated to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.
You may not expect a smooth ride from a truck, but that's what you'll get when you drive the Ram 1500. It has outstanding ride quality over almost any surface, and the available air suspension does an even better job of smoothing out road imperfections. The air suspension also lets you adjust the truck's ground clearance; you can raise it when towing or driving off road, and you can lower it when parked so you and your passengers don't struggle to climb in and out.
Rear-wheel drive is standard with the Ram 1500, and four-wheel drive is available. The Ram 1500 remains composed on winding roads, and the steering feels pretty accurate. The brakes provide plenty of stopping power even when pulling a trailer.
Even at its best, the Ram 1500 doesn't have the towing capacity of the Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado. When properly equipped, the Ram 1500 has a maximum payload of 1,880 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 10,640 pounds. Despite its lower max capacity, the Ram 1500 does pull heavy loads without feeling strained, and the available air suspension does a great job keeping the bed level when hauling cargo.

Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Hermantown, raised more than a quarter-million dollars in campaign funds during the first quarter of 2019, according to an email from his campaign staff.
The Pete Stauber for Congress Volunteer Committee said it raised $277,488.63 in the quarter from January through March. The committee has until Monday to file their figures with the Federal Election Commission.
All candidates are required to disclose money raised and spent by their official campaigns.
Stauber was elected to represent the 8th Congressional District last November. He's not made it official, but all indications so far show he'll run for re-election in 2020.
Stauber's campaign ended 2018 with $18,336 in cash on hand, according to election commission figures, after peaking at nearly $1.8 million.
The next reporting due date is July 15.

Airbnb paid $200M for Canadian rival: report
Feb.February 17, 2017 04:00 PM
From the New York website: Airbnb bought the Canadian short-term luxury rental site Luxury Retreats International for a rumored $200 million, removing a competitor and expanding its offerings at the high end.
Montreal-based Luxury Retreats, founded in 1999, is an online marketplace for short-term home rentals with prices often exceeding $1,000 per night. Last year the company raised $11 million from venture investors, bringing its total funding to $16 million.
The firm's founder Joe Poulin will head Airbnb's luxury rental business.
Airbnb, valued at $30 billion in its latest funding round, is reportedly looking to expand its offerings to care rentals and plane tickets ahead of a rumored IPO. The firm has faced opposition from New York lawmakers who accuse the firm of exacerbating housing shortages by turning rental units into de-facto hotels.
On Monday Bloomberg reported that Airbnb has $3 billion in cash sitting around and planned to acquire firms across the hospitality/travel sector. [WSJ] — Konrad Putzier
