Midway through the exhibition "Italian Style: Fashion Since 1945," up through January 4 at the MIA, the gallery called Hollywood on the Tiber spotlights the role of films and celebrities in popularizing Italian fashion worldwide in the 1950s and '60s. Many of the objects in this section boast high-profile provenances, having been worn by Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Lee Radziwill, Maria Callas, and other famous folks. But one item stands out: a Bulgari brooch—studded with colorless, brown, and yellow diamonds—once owned by Elizabeth Taylor.
The brooch was given to Taylor for her 30th birthday, in February 1962, by her then-husband Eddie Fisher. It was accompanied by matching earrings and a ring. At the time, Taylor was in Rome filming Cleopatra, one of the most indulgent movies ever made, and had just embarked on her one lasting love affair—with Bulgari jewelry. Taylor later remarked, "Undeniably, one of the biggest advantages to working on Cleopatra in Rome was Bulgari's nice little shop. I used to visit Gianni Bulgari in the afternoons and we'd sit in what he called the 'money room' and swap stories…And the jewelry? The exclusive crème de la crème pieces were tucked away in a small room." One senses that Gianni frequently granted Taylor access to that small little room after their afternoon chats. By the time of her death, in 2011, Taylor had amassed an impressive jewelry collection and many of her prized pieces were Bulgari jewels.
Taylor on the lap of Eddie Fisher, her husband at the time, on the set of "Cleopatra" in Rome in early 1962. Richard Burton, looking on, was already prying her away.
Taylor with Burton—wearing the brooch from Eddie Fisher.
Reactions were just as extreme back in the United States, where a Georgia congresswoman and an Ohio representative tried to bar Taylor and Burton from returning to the U.S. in order to protect the nation's delicate moral fiber from coming into dangerous contact with the ill-behaved lovers. Meanwhile, Cleopatra ran over schedule and over budget—largely due to the offstage antics of the co-stars—to such a degree that 20th Century Fox execs fired the film's producer and director, and then went after the leading actors with a $50 million lawsuit. Looking back on these events with modern eyes, public reactions to the affair seem to have verged on hysteria.
The Bulgari brooch that lived to tell the tale of "Le Scandale" is truly a timeless classic that looks just as stunning, brilliant, and beautiful as it did when Taylor first acquired it. After her death, many of her jewels were sold at auction and the brooch was acquired by another actress/jewelry collector, Jennifer Tilly, who very kindly lent her piece to the U.S. tour of Italian Style. Unlike some of the other objects in the exhibition, which today might seem a little '80s shoulder-padded or '50s matchy-matchy, the brooch seems to come from a place where passing fashions did not exist. But the scandal itself and the extreme reactions it provoked remind us that it isn't just hemlines and silhouettes that have shifted over the past 50 years—our sensibilities have, too.

From here, you can create groups by clicking +, setting a name for it, and de-selecting the calendars you don't want to see in this view. You can also set the default calendar and reminders list for each set of calendars. For example, when viewing my boyfriend's calendars (or both of our calendars), I want to put things on my default calendar. When looking at my parents' calendar I want to put things on a calendar I have shared with them instead.
You can also re-order these groups at any time with drag and drop, which changes which number key it is associated with. Go ahead and create some calendar groups to make your life easier!

Breaking the Mold: Sareea Freeman strikes balance between passions for pro volleyball and business
Katie Myers
Volleyball,Story
Women have been overcoming obstacles and fighting for equality in sports for decades. While significant strides have been made, there are still barriers female professional athletes still have to overcome. One of these barriers is pay equity. While many pro male athletes can live comfortably with a pro contract, many professional female athletes rely another means of income. This may mean balancing a full-time job, while also training for the start of a new season.
Athletes Unlimited Volleyball opposite Sareea Freeman is no exception. A graduate of Florida State University, Freeman is a Bachelor of Science in sociology and went on to pursue a master's degree in business administration at the University of Memphis – where she currently calls home and works full-time in finance.
"I do my 9-5, and after my 9-5 I go to the gym and it's my second job. I'm in the gym everyday training," she said.
Although her schedule is demanding, she embraces the challenge.
Oftentimes athletes are thought to have glamorous lives, but for Freeman and many other athletes who are managing work and play, that's far from the truth.
"At the end of the day we're still everyday people," Freeman said. "We have jobs. We have occupations. We have families that we're all managing."
Managing the demands of being a professional athlete and working full-time may be overwhelming, but Freeman has struck a balance. She said the beauty of both working and playing is that she never had to pick one or the other. She hasn't been limited to a career in the business world or a career as a professional volleyball player.
At a younger age, she didn't know it was possible.
"I always felt like I had to be an athlete or work a full-time job," Freeman said.
Her desire is to share that it is possible to do both with young athletes. Freeman wants to help others see that no matter what challenges they face, no matter how hard they have to work, they can achieve their goals without limitations.
"I want to be an inspiration," she said. "I don't want kids to feel like they have to choose a path and they're held to that one bucket."
You can be more than an athlete. You can be good at more than one thing and you can still prosper and grow.
Sareea Freeman,
Athletes Unlimited Volleyball Opposite
The upcoming season of Athletes Unlimited Volleyball gives Freeman a first-hand opportunity to show that it is possible to do more than one thing, and to do it well.
"America is a place of possibilities and you don't have to be put in one bucket," Freeman said. "You can be more than an athlete. You can be good at more than one thing and you can still prosper and grow."
Freeman recognizes that she's been given a platform and each day is as an opportunity to set an example.
"I just want to make sure I'm carrying that weight and doing it the right way … For me it's really about discipline," Freeman said. "This league means so much more than playing volleyball," Freeman said. "It's about bridging the gap for women's sports. It's about being an inspiration for Black volleyball players. And also bringing the new possibility of being a full-time employee and working."
While women still have much to overcome in terms of equality in sports, Freeman is breaking the mold with the hope that other women will see that it is possible to pursue their dreams and live them out fully.

Q: Detail page w/ embedded VF page: Rerender page block w/o refreshing detail page I've been working with a vf page that sits in a standard page layout, that when I click a link I want it to rerender the vf page and not the Salesforce page it sits in.
I have the code working in that when you click the link the page rerenders and loads the data I expect. However, it refreshes the entire page and just displays the vf page without the Salesforce page layout. Only in Chrome and Firefox. In IE, the vf page rerenders and keeps the rest of the Salesforce page untouched.
Is there a syntax that I should use to ensure that the vf page rerenders inside the page layout?
Example vf page code:
<apex:page standardController="Account" extensions="EnhancedContactRelatedListCtrl" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">

Cycling for Charities
Giving Makes Your Heart Stronger
May 16, 2016 UncategorizedMike HOBIN View all 25 comments
Troy, Gil, Eric & Kevin
Mary at the finish line
It was an incredible journey these past four months. Ten African countries and 12,000 km, (7,500 miles) of exhausting riding. It was a true test of will and perseverance, as the TDA made every day a challenge. The cycling was tough, as we trudged through mud, sand, gravel and climbs that seemed to ascend to heaven. However, pedaling was only part of the story, the deplorable conditions that we endured, especially the first two months of the trip, had our emotions and nerves on the edge. At times, some riders broke down into tears, others screamed profanities and most everyone asked themselves, "why am I doing this?" Riding, laughing, suffering and being totally caught up in spectacular scenery became a way of life for 121 days. It was a lifestyle.
It was an amazing group of people, that made this epic adventure bearable through the back roads of "The Dark Continent." The TDA staff was exceptional, led by our fearless and knowledgable leader Tallis Wessels. He was a firm, fair and fun loving commander that led a traveling circus in many respects. The cast of characters that committed to this mind blowing experience stuck together in thick and thin. Sickness, injury, dark moods and total fatigue, nothing stopped anyone from supporting their fellow journeyman. It really was incredible, how even if people weren't the best of friends, they would find ways to help out in times of stress and chaos. I can't say enough about all my fellow TDA 2016 champions and want to express my sincerest gratitude for their support and friendships.
In some respects we only saw snapshots of Africa, as we cruised through villages and remote areas of the continent. However, in many ways seeing the world from the saddle of your bike is both physically and mentally satisfying. It's an education in itself. You see how people live, cultural habits and get close to nature. You learn more about yourself and what is important in life. God, family and the simple things are all you really need.
Life is short. Live wide, not long.
A special thanks to my wonderful wife Mary, who puts up with my off-the-wall and sometimes eccentric behavior. Love you.
A Lesson from Frank Sinatra
Kevin, Eric and Troy
Last rider meeting
Follow the sign
Troy cruising
Greetings from about 90 km outside Cape Town,
For the past two days I've been singing one of my favorites, from Frank Sinatra, which seems to match my mood, as we close in on Cape Town;
"And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way."
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say – not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows –
And did it my way!
Yes, it was my way."
Wow, that sums it up pretty good.
Emma & The Naked Mile
Troy, Gil, Kevin & Eric in the Dead Vlie
The Naked Mile
Gil climbing "Big Daddy"
Troy & I early am start
Emma H. The Dutch Phenom
Namibia is a gem. There are only two million inhabitants in this primarily desert climate. It hosts the largest sand dunes in the world, but parts of it have a fantastic wild life population. The Etosha National Park is suppose to be a top spot for safaris and game drives. We didn't make it that far north, but I'm told it should be on your bucket list.
We left Windhoek on April 28th for three difficult days of off-road riding and arrived Sesriem for a rest day at the dunes. The second day was the traditional "naked mile," in which the riders had the option of riding any distance in the buff. The majority of the full tour cyclists participated at some time during the ride. Despite my fear of showing the sun my bare fanny for too long, I let the breeze cool my "schwetty balls" for a mile or two, (only to quote Alex Baldwin on a very funny skit that Saturday Night Live produced).
The dunes of the Namib Desert were stunning. A group of us got up bright and early and toured the area. We scaled "Big Daddy," a monster of a sand dune, that protrudes 280 meters, (924 ft), from out of the desert. The ascent was arduous, but offered incredible views. The descent made us all feel like kids, as we ran down a steep section of the dunes, yelling and screaming, trying to keep our balance. At the bottom we tumbled into the dead vlei (dead pan), an eerie dried out seabed, with unusually shaped dead trees. Lifeless in most respects, a few bugs and geckos were spotted in this barren, but spectacular, part of the world.
After our day of rest, we started a five day section of grueling off-road riding. The roads were very unforgiving and offered a fair amount of washboard, but the biggest challenge was the heavy sandy soil that had a little gravel sprinkled in. You would go from 25 km/ HR to 5 km/ HR in a matter of seconds and would have to grind through the sand. For many of us, that don't do a lot of sand riding, it meant getting off the bikes and drugging through the desert soil via foot. It was slow going for many of the 290 km, (180 miles), we covered the first two days. One difficult morning, it took many of us six hours to cover 70 km, (44 miles) and that was just to get to lunch. The last three days were much more of the same. We finished off the section with a 171 km, (106 mile), primarily off-road trek into Felix Unite Camp. A scenic, comfortable sojourn, where we'll rest for a day before our final push into Cape Town.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention, or should I say gloat about my biggest cycling accomplishment since Cairo, almost 4 months ago. Emma Houterman, a 30 year cycling phenom, who has won more stages this tour, than I have had flat tires, (about 20), was passed not once, but multiple times by your's truly. YES, I passed Emma on the road. Normally, if Emma leaves before me, I don't see her until camp and she's arrives hours ahead of me. Or, if I start before her, then she breezes by and leaves me in the dust. Well that wasn't the case for two days this week. Both days started as usual, with her blowing by me, on the sandy gravel off-road. However, amazingly I caught her and bolted by with a sly grin on my face. Her response, "Chief, how's this happening." I couldn't give her a logical reason. A few kilometers down the road, I stopped for a photo and she pressed past with a glance that said, "Get back in your place old man." Once again, I caught her and slipped by with her bellowing, "Chief, how's this happening?" The smile on my face said it all. The same scenario happened a few more times, over the two days, much to Emma's chagrin. For me, these moments of glory were intermittent, but relished. If I was writing for the NY Post, the byline would be, "Sixty-two year old cyclist passes Female Dutch Champion, he says it's better than viagra."
For you Rancho Feliz fans, Gil's started to swear at me for
"throwing him into the fire," but I'm glad to have someone to share the pain. Keep suffering Gil. I love it.

Neighbors of Cold War-era Air Force deserter knew him as 'Tim'
Posted June 12, 2018 12:54 a.m. EDT
By Dan Simon and Susannah Cullinane (CNN)
(CNN) — Neighbors of a US Air Force captain found living in their community under a false name 35 years after allegedly deserting say they were shocked to discover his past and that his false name wasn't even the one they knew him by.
Capt. William Howard Hughes Jr. disappeared in July of 1983 after returning from duty in Europe. The officer -- who had top secret security clearance -- was formally declared a deserter later that year.
However, a passport fraud investigation earlier this month uncovered a man living in Daly City, California, under the name of Barry O'Beirne who, according to the Air Force, admitted that his true name was William Howard Hughes Jr.
Hughes' neighbors say with them, Hughes went by yet another name, "Tim."
"I feel betrayed. Like, what? You didn't tell us. Your name's not Tim? That's how we know him, as Tim," neighbor June Dayao told CNN affiliate KRQE.
A good neighbor
Steve Devine told CNN that Hughes had been a "very friendly, very pleasant individual" and a good neighbor.
"We rooted for the same baseball team, San Francisco Giants. I would see him walking through the neighborhood like myself, we were both retired, quick 'hi how are you," Devine said.
He said Hughes lived with his wife and that the couple had no children.
The news of Hughes' true identity was "very shocking."
"I wouldn't have known anything like that at all, I had no idea," Devine said. He said Hughes had appeared to be around the same age: "I turned 65 this year ... I felt like we ... had walked similar paths in life and he was retiring, and enjoying his retirement."
Another neighbor, Barbara Laurel said she and her husband would see the man she knew as "Tim" at the gym with his wife.
"He'd usually say 'hi' to us," she said. "We see him at the gym all the time but when he works out he just uses the treadmill and doesn't really interact with anybody."
Michael Tom said "Tim" and the woman he lived with seemed "like a nice couple." Tom said he thought both were still working.
"He seems like a good person, he's a sports fan, you know, Giants, Warriors and all that. But I haven't seen anything that would seem like he's a bad person."
Tom said he was surprised that "Tim" could be involved in identity fraud.
How he was discovered
In a statement, the US Air Force office of Special Investigations said the last sighting of Hughes before he disappeared in 1983 had been in New Mexico, where the officer had withdrawn $28,500 from his bank account at 19 different branch locations.
Interviews with Hughes' friends and associates and inquiries with law enforcement agencies in the US and abroad failed to locate him, the statement said, and he was formally declared a deserter on December 9, 1983.
Then just a few days ago, the mystery that began more than three decades ago came to an end.
"On June 5, during a passport fraud investigation, the US Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service interviewed an individual claiming to be Barry O'Beirne. After being confronted with inconsistencies about his identity, the individual admitted his true name was William Howard Hughes Jr., and that he deserted from the US Air Force in 1983," the Air Force said.
"Capt. Hughes claimed that in 1983 he was depressed about being in the Air Force so he left, created the fictitious identity of O'Beirne and has been living in California ever since."
Special agents from Travis Air Force Base took Hughes into custody at his California home Wednesday and he is being held at the base, the Air Force said. It is unclear what charges he faces.
Cold War intrigue
The Air Force said Hughes had a "Top Secret/Single Scope Background Investigation" clearance at the time of his disappearance.
His mysterious disappearance during the Cold War spurred theories that he had been abducted by the Soviet Union or defected to what was then known as the USSR to work against the US.
In 1985 and 1986, several French and American rocket ships failed to launch properly and subsequently exploded, including the Challenger space shuttle. In the wake of those disasters, Los Angeles Times journalist Tad Szulc reported in July of 1986 that intelligence officers believed the rockets may have been sabotaged with Hughes' help.
"(Intelligence officers) see a clear link between Hughes and possible sabotage of the American and French launches," the newspaper reported then.
"He is worth his weight in gold to the Russians in terms of future 'Star Wars,' if we have them," one intelligence officer told the Times.
Hughes' sister, Christine Hughes, told the Associated Press in a January 1984 article that the family believed he had been abducted, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

Decorating a car's chassis as the focus of automobile is like spending all your time on the frame of a piece of artwork while ignoring the canvas. Good thing the CoolNVintage's Build 77 Art Defender can lean on the legendary look of the iconic Land Rover Defender 110 from 1983. This particular one's artwork was done up by CoolNVintage's own artist, Vasco Costa, who hails from Lisbon, Portugal. The Build 77 is meant to echo Lisbon's own hidden beauty by offering glimpses of the hand-painted fame rather than the work in its entirety. The contrasting basic silver bodywork and black mohair soft top make for a visually Spartan backdrop that works wonderfully with Costa's craft. Inside, you'll find custom-stitched black Connolly leather seats, Marshall speakers, a bespoke tailgate bag, and a special plaque. The 77 is powered by a V8 engine and undergirded by FOX suspension and BF Goodrich off-road tires. And though it's got the makings of a seriously rugged 4×4, the Build 77 is easily one of the most uniquely stunning Defender custom projects we've ever seen.


Why Would A Luxury Builder Developer Panel Say No To Amazon?
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3″][vc_column_text]Why Would A Luxury Builder Developer Panel Say No To Amazon?
Asked if they were in favor of Raleigh as a possible site and the second headquarters for Amazon they said an emphatic no? But why? Read on for my insight after attending a recent Triangle Business Journal business breakfast. To educate and communicate is my goal as a Raleigh Realtor. So my perspective is one of more curiosity. Following the Amazon story now for months, I am optimistic about the notion, but curious about what this will really do to the real estate market in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill (RDU). How will our life be with this gigantic change?
Curious about what these experts had to say?
Panelists John Rufty, owner of Rufty homes, Rex Bost, owner of Bost Custom Homes and Tim Smith, CEO of Prestonwood Development, all agree that the sudden influx of people would drive housing prices up. "I think Amazon would bring too much too fast," Rufty stated. Bost agreed and said it will change the dynamic of our way of living here in the Triangle. He went on to say "I think we have enough growth of an industry that we don't really need an Amazon." Smith explained that for every relocating employee, there are potentially three family members!
Amazon wants space and infrastructure and a mass transit system and there's just not one around here. Since I agree, I attended the Regional Transit Alliance Summit later that same week to find out what is planned and how I can help. This area needs a system to both get people off of the roads and to get them into the cities from rapidly developing desirable outlying areas. All while preserving our greenspace and providing affordable home options.
With or without Amazon, land costs are nearly double from those 8-10 years ago as supply exceeds demand, particularly in Wake County. What was $600,000 ten years ago costs $1M today. How long will rising prices continue in our area? Will there be a bust soon? These experts believe that the upward price trend will continue for at least the next 2-3 years because the RDU area is a desirable place to live. University graduates stay here, new businesses move in and existing businesses expand. In the last six months alone, there was an increase in homes sold over $1M of 37% which when combined with another 15% for presold new homes not documented in the Multiple List Service is closer to 52%.
Why the uptick in demand for million dollar homes?
Why? There is pent-up demand from the effect of 2009-2013. We are attracting wealth to our region. Amazon took a hard look at RDU and so are other big companies with big presences including Apple.
What do luxury home buyers want in a home?
What do luxury home buyers want? Our panel was unanimous that convenience and walkability is the top priority. Buyers in a luxury class also want more high-end features and all the new technology. HGTV and other media have these discriminating buyers drooling for all the bells and whistles. They also want more square footage. Open floor plans with linea doors or moving walls that merge inside with expansive outdoor living areas are a huge emerging trend. Parade of Homes winners in Avalaire, an upscale community in North Raleigh offered superb spaces for luxury buyers who yearn for this type of home design. Wealthy homebuyers work hard and want the luxury where they can relax.
An aging population In key communities cashed in big with local custom builders. Teardowns of older, dated homes on beautiful, spacious lots give rise to new larger custom homes in well-established and prestigious North Ridge Country Club. We see the same thing "Inside the Beltline" which is close to downtown Raleigh and in once flagship communities such as MacGregor Downs. Some high-end buyers, unwilling to move to suburban areas will pay top dollar for a newly constructed custom home close to town. Rufty said tear downs and custom home build account for about 30% of his business.
Why are the costs of luxury homes rising so much?
Another key issue emerged. Probably unknown to most of us, there is a lack of skilled construction tradesmen. Current laborers are putting in overtime, paid a premium and there are resulting delays in completion of homes. Luxury custom builders who must compete with large National builders for a limited skilled labor pool feel the most impact. Up go the price tags for luxury custom homes.
What is an alternative to high prices for luxury homes near Raleigh?
New all-encompassing communities such as Briar Chapel in Chatham County are an affordable option for buyers who are willing to sacrifice proximity to Raleigh for price and value. This community features homes from $300 to $1 million along with commercial areas within walking distance. Once home, residents don't venture far to enjoy coffee shops, restaurants, services, banking, and local concerts. Golf, fitness, and outdoor activities are also included or right nearby. Long trips to the city are not the only option for homeowners who want a vibrant lifestyle.
Preston Development is developing Chatham Park near Pittsboro which will mimic Briar Chapel. Nearly $50 million has been spent thus far for infrastructures such as roads, water, and sewer. Another $50 million is planned for 2018. The residential home building should begin in about 12-14 months. According to Tim, besides walkability, high-end features and space; buyers in the $1 million price range also demand structural integrity and energy efficiency.
High-end home buyers will spend more for systems that save energy costs. In Chatham Park, most homes will have remote reading meters to track energy. Electric car chargers are being installed in all homes. Chatham Park homes will also offer greywater recycling whereby shower water is reused for outside irrigation to help alleviate water shortages. Stormwater management systems will keep water to use locally instead of sending this water to the city. Thee expert panelists believe that homes prices in Chatham will double. It is a great time to invest in a new home in Chatham Park.
Where is the biggest demand for luxury homes in Wake County, NC?
What existing areas in the Triangle have the biggest demand for luxury homes? The panel cites that the real growth in the home sale IS in the $1 million-dollar price range. In the past six months, 116 homes that cost more than $1 million sold in the Triangle, quite a healthy pace.
In MacGregor Downs, Cary, 6 homes sold ranging from $1.1 – $2.2 million and in Sunset Hills, Raleigh, The Oaks, Chapel Hill, and Hayes Barton, Raleigh, 5 homes in each community sold between $1.0 – $1.9 million. 4 homes sold that cost from $1.5 – $2.2 million in Avalaire and in Budleigh, Raleigh, there were 4 home sales ranging in price from $1.5 – $2.8 million.
The bottom line? Even if Amazon HQ2 does not land here in RDU, demand is already outpacing supply for resale homes and new homes. Land and building costs are rising. This trend is anticipated to continue for the foreseeable future for the Triangle. Interest rates are rising, and this will continue. Higher rates affect what buyers can afford to pay for your home.
If you are thinking about selling your home over and it is worth more than $600,000 and you are looking to buy a new one, the time is now. Carefully choose the area that not only meets your needs but as a savvy investor, choose the right luxury Realtor in Raleigh. I do have one more insight for you. If you want to optimize your sale price, sell your house quickly and move to your new dream home, contact me!
We will be all right in the Triangle, but we need to be ready for the boom that this popular area may need to stand, Amazon or not.

Jewish Peoplehood Precedes Jewish Religion
Rabbi Donniel Hartman, President of Shalom Hartman Institute and Director of it's Engaging Israel Project, blogs wisely about the essence of Judaism. We are a people first; religious faith and tradition secondarily. We learn this on Pesach, which he calls the "Independence Day of the Jewish People."
…this [peoplehood] identity precedes our religious faith: [just as] Pesach precedes Shavuot. In a Jewish world where all too often one's particular denomination or religious practice serves as a wall between oneself and fellow Jews, where the central question is often in whose house one does not eat, or in which synagogue one does not pray, the ethos of Pesach calls out and reminds one that Jewish peoplehood comes first. While Judaism does not stop with peoplehood and Sinai is a defining moment shaping the values and content of our national identity, the place of Pesach in our calendar [coming before Shavuot, the holiday celebrating the giving of Torah], I believe, gives it primacy. By this I mean that our Jewish values and practices must not only shape our collective identity but must be shaped by them.
Ours is a world where Conservative Jews belittle the religious sensibilities of Reform Jews, where Reform Jews deny the value of Orthodox Jews practices, where Orthodox reject the halakhic (Jewish legal) outlook of Conservative Jews (and don't forget the Reconstructionist, Haredi, Renewal, Transdenominational and other Jews). In Israel, the divisions are deeper as they are tied into national politics – from marriage and burial, to the role of women, to the future of the West Bank settlements.
Rabbi Hartman continues:
Religion by its nature creates a God intoxication in which we strive to walk in the way of God, regardless of the consequences to ourselves and to others. The "heroic figure" of Abraham in Genesis 22 [the Akedah, Abraham's almost sacrifice of Isaac] models such a religious pathos.
Pesach, I believe, requires of us a peoplehood intoxication, a commitment not only to loyalty and love of the Jewish people but also to filter our individual religious commitments through the prism of what will serve our people as a whole. In the Ethics of our Fathers, according to Rabbi Nathan, Chapter 2, we are taught that Moses broke the Tablets of the Ten Commandments without Divine approval, because he was fearful that giving the Torah to the Jewish people at that time would condemn them as idolatrous sinners and consequently warrant their destruction.
Declarations of Jewish unity will not suffice. Like Moses we have to ask ourselves: Which part of Torah we are willing to relinquish for the sake of the Jewish people, which truth or personal commitment, while dear to us, is too dear, and causes hurt and alienation? When doing so it is not a religious compromise but rather a religious value, a fulfillment of the dictates of our tradition which celebrates Pesach first and makes it the foundation of Sinai and not the opposite.
Rabbi Hartman's wisdom rings true. Peoplehood, not lip serviced declarations, but real commitment to Jewish peoplehood might shine a way forward in the Jewish religious battles in Israel. May this reaffirmation of the primacy of Jewish peoplehood strengthen us as our brothers and sisters in Israel struggle to redefine the role of religion in public life, and we in America struggle to deepen our connections despite divergent opinions about Jewish living and Israeli politics.

In his capacity as Ruler of Dubai, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum issued Law No. (13) of 2020 regulating the expert witness profession in Dubai.
The new Law, which oversees all activities related to expert witness services in Dubai, seeks to provide judicial departments with legally and technically qualified experts who can help ensure the accuracy of judicial decisions, facilitate the swift dispensation of justice, expedite judicial procedures and raise the quality and competencies of expert witnesses.
The Law defines the expert witness service as an activity practiced by a person with specialised skills assigned by the court or the public prosecution to provide verbal or written opinion on a certain case.
Expert witnesses and consulting firms must be duly registered in the experts register at Dubai Courts. The Law authorises Dubai Courts to create and manage the experts register.
According to a resolution issued by the Chairman of the Dubai Judicial Council, Dubai Courts will establish the Experts Affairs Committee, which will propose the rules and regulations for the classification of experts and approve the charter of ethics and professional conduct for experts and guidelines for experts' fees. The Committee will include members of the Dubai Judicial Authority, experts registered at Dubai Courts and other government entities, and officials from the private sector. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Committee should be members of the Dubai Judicial Authority.
The Committee is also responsible for approving the professional qualification examinations and training programmes for experts, and reviewing applications from experts, requests for cancelling or suspending registration of experts, grievances submitted by experts regarding the results of their technical assessment and violations and complaints related to experts.
According to the new Law, Dubai Courts will establish a unit for experts affairs, which will be in charge of registration and classification of experts. The unit will also be responsible for preparing the charter of ethics and professional conduct, overseeing and monitoring the experts' work, technically evaluating experts, reviewing grievances and complaints lodged against experts and submitting recommendations in this regard to the Experts Affairs Committee.
Any person or entity not registered in the experts register at Dubai Courts is prohibited from undertaking any activity related to the provision of expert witness services unless permitted by this Law. The judicial authority may assign any expert to perform specific tasks related to a case or incident.
Apart from the provisions of this Law, the expert witness is subject to relevant federal and local legislations, including Federal Law No. (7) of 2012 concerning the regulation of the Expertise Profession before Judicial Authorities and its bylaws.
The Dubai Courts Director General is authorised to issue all decisions required to implement this Law. All individuals currently registered in the experts register at Dubai Courts must comply with this Law on renewal of their registration or within a year of the Law coming into effect.
This Law annuls any other legislation that contradicts or challenges its articles. The new Law will be published in the Official Gazette and is effective from the date of its publication.


Q. Monitoring Stops in Apple's GarageBand after several seconds, is there some way to fix that?
When you're monitoring the audio of a Real Instrument track, the audio input monitoring may stop working after about 90 seconds into your recording session. You may hear clicks and pops in the monitored signal before it drops out.
This issue affects GarageBand versions earlier than 3.0 (which is a part of iLife '06) when using different audio interfaces for the input and the output. For example, if you use an external USB or FireWire audio interface for input and your computer's built-in audio for output, this can happen to you.
To avoid this issue, use the same audio device for both input and output when using an affected GarageBand version.

Then Ostapenko forces Sharapova wide and the Russian's forehand flies wide of the line.
It's been all too easy for Sharapova so far.

In no time it's 30-0 to Sharapova.
Ostapenko is fuming. She smacks her legs several times and urges her feet to move. There's a livid scowl on her face.

Oh here we go! Game on.
Ostapenko's return is deep and Sharapova hits it straight into the net.

Then she produces a thumping forehand winner to get on the board. 40-15.
But Sharapova pops up with an ace to win her fifth game in a row.
Philipp Kohlschreiber beats a top five player at a major for only the second time in his career with victory over number four seed Alexander Zverev, who was a break up in the fourth set.

But Ostapenko has to find a way to get back into this game.
A double-fault, Ostapenko's fourth of the match, gives Sharapova the break.

I Planet Funk sono un gruppo musicale italiano, fondato nel 1999 dai due tastieristi Marco Baroni e Alex Neri, dal bassista Sergio Della Monica e dal chitarrista Domenico Canu.

Storia

Inizi
Il gruppo nasce dalla fusione tra la vecchia formazione dei napoletani Souled Out (Alessandro Sommella, Domenico "GG" Canu e Sergio Della Monica) e i sarzanesi Kamasutra, ovvero Marco Baroni ed Alex Neri.

Entrambe le band avevano alle spalle un'esperienza consolidata: i Souled Out erano già noti nei primi anni novanta grazie al successo internazionale dei singoli Shine on e Stuck on love (quest'ultimo cantato da Dee Lewis), mentre i Kamasutra avevano realizzato un remix di successo della canzone di Karen Ramirez Lies e il loro brano Where is the love era stato tra i tormentoni dell'estate 1999, venendo inserito anche nella popolare compilation Hit Mania Dance Estate 1999. Inoltre nel 1996 il loro brano Happiness arrivò al quinto posto nelle classifiche dance americane.

Il primo successo del gruppo arriva alla fine del 2000 con Chase The Sun, cantata dalla finlandese Auli Kokko, che riprende la melodia di "Alla luce del giorno", composta nel 1969 da Ennio Morricone per la colonna sonora del film Metti, una sera a cena. La canzone viene inclusa nella compilation Hit Mania Dance 2001 e ottiene ottimi risultati anche all'estero, arrivando alla quinta posizione nella classifica dei singoli più venduti nel Regno Unito a febbraio 2001.

Nella primavera del 2001 esce Inside all the People, cantata dall'inglese Dan Black, con cui i Planet Funk stringono un fortunato sodalizio. Pur non riscuotendo lo stesso successo di Chase the Sun, il brano contribuisce a far conoscere ancora di più il gruppo, che viene invitato ad esibirsi all'Italian Dance Award di quell'anno, tenutosi l'11 dicembre presso il club Alcatraz di Milano e trasmesso su Italia 1.

Non Zero Sumness (2002-2004)
Nel 2002 esce Non Zero Sumness, primo album della band che contiene, oltre ai singoli già pubblicati fino ad allora, i singoli Who Said e The Switch, con cui il gruppo partecipa al Festivalbar. Nello stesso anno il gruppo vince gli Italian Music Awards nelle categorie "Miglior gruppo italiano" e "Miglior rivelazione italiana" e l'album ottiene il disco d'oro sia nell'edizione originale sia nella ripubblicata Non zero sumness plus one, che contiene un nuovo brano (One Step Closer) realizzato in collaborazione con i Simple Minds.

Nel 2003 i Planet Funk si esibiscono all'ExtraFestival di Torino insieme agli Underworld e al Coca-Cola Live MTV insieme ad Alex Britti e ai Negramaro.

The Illogical Consequence e The Static (2005-2010)
Sciolto il sodalizio con Dan Black, che lascia per concentrarsi sul suo gruppo The Servant, il 25 febbraio 2005 il gruppo pubblica Stop me, cantato dall'inglese  John Graham e scelto dalla Coca Cola per uno spot televisivo. Il singolo anticipa il secondo album The Illogical Consequence, seguito nell'autunno 2006 da Static, il cui omonimo singolo viene incluso nella colonna sonora del videogioco FIFA 08; all'inizio del 2009 il gruppo pubblica il singolo Lemonade.

Ingresso di Alex Uhlmann e The Great Shake (2011-2017)
Nel 2011 la band incide il nuovo singolo Another Sunrise, che vede il debutto del nuovo cantante Alex Uhlmann. Il brano, a sua volta trainato dalla sua inclusione in uno spot televisivo della Hyundai, è il primo singolo estratto dall'album The Great Shake, uscito il 20 settembre 2011, con la partecipazione di Giuliano Sangiorgi, leader dei Negramaro, come cantante in Ora il mondo è perfetto. Nello stesso anno prende parte agli MTV Days di Torino.

Sempre nel 2011 riscuote molto successo la cover della canzone di Nancy Sinatra These Boots Are Made for Walkin', realizzata per il film La kryptonite nella borsa di Ivan Cotroneo. Lo stesso regista ha diretto e sceneggiato anche il videoclip ufficiale della canzone, in cui compaiono alcuni attori del film come Luca Zingaretti, Valeria Golino, Cristiana Capotondi e Libero De Rienzo, oltre gli stessi Planet Funk. Il brano viene poi scelto la colonna sonora dello spot del campionato europeo di calcio 2012.

Il 13 ottobre 2015 viene pubblicato il singolo We-people, destinato a promuovere la campagna globale di Save the Children per combattere la mortalità infantile. L'anno successivo viene anche annunciato un nuovo album, intitolato Recall, la cui uscita è inizialmente prevista per l'autunno del 2017, poi rimandata alla primavera del 2019 e infine a data da destinarsi, nonostante per promuoverlo la band intraprenda un tour che vede il ritorno di Dan Black.

Nel 2017 i Planet Funk si esibiscono in occasione del Concerto del Primo Maggio con Another Sunrise, Non Stop e Who Said (Stuck in the UK) e il 14 luglio pubblicano il singolo You Can Be.

Scomparsa di Sergio Della Monica (2018)
Sempre nel 2017 il bassista e co-fondatore Sergio Della Monica, da anni sottoposto a dialisi, lascia il gruppo a causa dell'aggravarsi delle sue condizioni di salute. Muore Il 18 febbraio 2018 a 58 anni, a causa di una polmonite.

Ultimi anni (2018-)
Il 13 dicembre 2018 i Planet Funk pubblicano il nuovo singolo All On Me, mentre il 20 febbraio 2020 i Planet Funk pubblicano 20:20, una raccolta che celebra i 20 anni di carriera della band, prodotta da Sergio Cerruti per Just Entertainment e rimasterizzata agli Abbey Road Studios di Londra.

Influenze
Le maggiori influenze del gruppo sono Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, The Alan Parsons Project, King Crimson, The Police, Clash, Stevie Wonder, Brian Eno, David Bowie, Underworld, The Killers, Leftfield, Cocteau Twins, New Order, Chemical Brothers e Daft Punk.

College Senior Pete Sabo makes his exit..
College senior Pete Sabo was removed from the Student Senate last week, according to former Senate Liaison Marlo Barrera, College junior.
Student Senators adhere to a point system that penalizes them for failure to carry out various responsibilities. Failure to attend a General Faculty meeting, for example, warrants five points, according to the Senate's website.
Sabo accumulated a total of 25 points, the maximum number of points a Senator can receive before being subject to removal, over his one-semester term. He earned a total of 20 points for missing a plenary session and two General Faculty meetings, Barrera said, and a total of five for failing to submit a monthly log update and work log.
Sabo said he wanted to leave because he was frustrated by the Senate's bureaucratic limitations, and because it was difficult to complete projects.
"I think it's better for the younger activists who are trying to figure out how the institution works," he said. "I could get more accomplished independently without the Senate, and I wouldn't have to deal with the frustrations that are inherent to the Senate and that come up repeatedly.

Wireless QRAE 3 Confined Space Gas Detector from RAE Systems
Posted by PK Safety Team onFri Apr 11th 2014
RAE Systems is the manufacturer of the QRAE 3, the newest multi-gas monitor for confined space entry. Up to four sensors can be configured in this device for combustible gases (LEL), Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), or Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) depending on the specific needs of your facility.
The interesting thing about this monitor is the wireless configuration option. RAE Systems says this device will work in confined spaces as well. For companies working deep underground there may need to be some relays involved. But generally speaking, they say this unit can handle quite a bit of obstruction.
Ordered with the optional internal wireless radio, it can reach up to 650 ft. (that's going to be open space, and not a concrete bunker) to a RAELink3 Mesh reader which connects to a PC. This simple system enables a central command unit or other safety team members to monitor readings on the QRAE 3 from a distance. With traditional ProRAE and AreaRAE setups, the QRAE3 can use a RAElink3 mesh radio link and communicate the monitor as long as it was within 30 feet. The radio link could then translate it over several miles to the command unit.
Remote safety workers are not only able to monitor gas levels, but are alerted when the QRAE 3 goes into alarm, or when the user has not been moving for a 20-30 seconds (and this amount of time can be adjusted through the interface). This feature is called the Man Down alarm and is something that has been incorporated into the MultiRAE Lite, the MultiRAE, and the MultiRAE Pro devices as well.
The Man Down feature is something firefighters have been using for years on their air packs. In an industrial setting, it's an idea that makes immediate sense to those working in the field. It's something you can use or not depending on your needs, but it does come standard with the QRAE3 device.
Like the MultiRAE units, the QRAE 3 has the pump inlet at the top of the instrument. It's also the same shape as the MultiRAE. The button configurations is the same as well. So if you're familiar with one interface, you're basically ready to deal with any of their newer monitors.
This device comes with a rechargeable battery. With a diffusion configuration the batteries will last for about 14 hours. If the internal sample pump is being used, the run time will be cut down to about 11 hours. Rechargeable batteries help to minimize the down-time you experience with an instrument, so they are very desirable. The QRAE3 only comes with this feature.
The display screen is fairly good sized. The screen is back-lit when entering you hit a button. On the back, a strong alligator clip allows for a sturdy attachment. There is also a D-ring if you have a clip on your belt or a carabiner for the unit to attach to. An easy-to-use interface allows users to scroll through the peak readings, the STELs, and the time-weighted averages. Datalogging, as with most devices in this class, comes standard. The pump has a water and dust filter and will go into alarm if the air intake is blocked. The alarm can be cleared easily once it is fixed.
The QRAE 3 extends the utility and safety of the RAE Systems gas detector line. The QRAE 2 has been one of the most popular, cost-effective monitors we have ever sold here at PK Safety. We see this new monitor incorporating all of the best parts of the old version while integrating the more sophisticated wireless capabilities of their higher-end devices. Eventually all personal and fixed gas monitors will be able to send information quickly and effectively to all team members. The QRAE 3 is a big step in the right direction.

When I'm planning a trip, there's always a bit of worry that comes into play. Are we spending enough time in areas we'll love? Will we really enjoy a destination as much as the travel guides I've been reading did? Did the travel writers even go to said destination? And then there's those moments when you arrive at a destination and you feel as if the stars have all aligned; it's more than you dreamed of and you just can't wait to soak up every second there. That moment happened for me when we arrived in Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy. I wanted to visit because my great great grandmother Adele's father, Jean-Baptiste (their French names had this American girl swooning) and his ancestors were from this area, but I didn't really know what what to expect other than reportedly great wine.
We left Reims, which feels a bit like a miniature version of Paris with its classical French architecture and towering Notre-Dame de Reims surrounded by the chalky soil of champagne vineyards, and drove into the more lush, green Burgundy region. Beaune is a little Medieval village still surrounded by remnants of the original ramparts and feels more like some surreal set from "Beauty and the Beast" than the fully-functioning city it actually is. If you read my France Itinerary post, you'll notice I allowed for plenty of time to wander the city of Beaune and it was no accident; each step in the village offers new fairytale-like views – charming storefronts, flowers overflowing baskets and pots, and buildings from the 12th century on standing tall as reminders of the past.
As I mentioned in my France Itinerary post, France is a country whose culture is proud of their dedication to quality agriculture and gastronomy. And, though many a Frenchman will argue for his own region, Burgundy is often held out as the leader in wine and French cuisine.
The village of Beaune is a treasure trove of history. I was amazed to discover buildings and towers that were built in the 13th and 14th centuries. Among my favorite sites? The Hospices de Beaune, a museum of local art and furnishings in a beautiful Medieval hospice. The Basilique Notre-Dame de Beaune, a towering church dating from the 1200's. If you're into wine, you'll love the Musée du Vin de Bourgogne, a wine museum set in the gorgeous home of the Dukes of Burgundy from the 13th to the 16th centuries. Take a peek at the de-consecrated Ancien Carmel de Beaune, which usually hosts modern art exhibits inside. I would also suggest taking a peek at the nearby châteaux and abbeys to explore.
We stayed at the Hostellerie de Levernois, home to my favorite restaurant during the trip. Why? It begins (like many wonderful things, I suppose) with cocktails. Restaurant patrons can enjoy cocktails outdoors on the patio with live music while the sun sets – this was one of the most romantic settings we experienced! Dinner in the restaurant was perfectly prepared with amazing service. Our favorite course? The cheese course, served tableside by a true cheese connoisseur. My husband and I dream about that cheese course!
There is a more casual option for lunch and dinner on the Hostellerie de Levernois property called Bistrot du Bord de L'Eau. The hotel property is lovely and worth a walk around if you get the chance. There are shady areas tucked underneath trees that are centuries old, charming flower-filled bridges over trickling streams, and a giant garden at the back of the property.
Besides touring the sites in Beaune I mentioned above, I really enjoyed the cellar tour and wine tasting we experienced at Joseph Drouhin. The underground cellars stretching through a portion of the village of Beaune are the oldest in the city, having been built and used by monks to age wine in the 1200's. We had a fantastic tour guide and learned so much about the aging process of wine, as well as general knowledge of Beaune and the Burgundy region. We saw a cellar covered in mold; the "perfect aging conditions" for wine due to the positioning of a garden above it at ground level. And our tour guide showed us a false wall that had been built by the owner during WW2 to hide precious wines, cheeses, and hams from the Nazi soldiers. Our experience at Joseph Drouhin further reiterated that wine is not just a drink to the French people and many others; it's a substance that brings together families and communities and can even teach us about times past.
If we had another day in Beaune, I would have liked to visit Château de Pommard, a winery established in 1726 just outside Beaune. You can do food and wine tours at Château Pommard and reviews online say they offer great information on the Burgundy region and wine production as well.
If we ever go back to Beaune (already saving my pennies) a cooking class is also on my list. There's a coffee shop in the village owned by an American woman; our guide told us her cooking classes are quite fun. Research a few options, but I'm sure you can't go wrong with a cooking class in one of the centers of French cuisine!


When the Affordable Care Act (more commonly known as ObamaCare) was passed, the IRS updated its Internal Revenue Code (IRC) to include new tax documents that keep health care insurance providers in good standing with the ACA's new legal and tax requirements.
In order to ensure that every taxpayer receives at least the minimum basic coverage of health care insurance each year, health insurance providers and employers now need to report the coverage they offer to the IRS. Health insurance providers need to report this on Form 1095-B, and certain larger employers* need to report this on Form 1095-C. It's optional to go ahead and file these forms for the 2014 tax year, but they will be required in 2016 for the 2015 tax year.
New laws inevitably bring up questions, and a lot of people have wondered if there's a penalty for filing 1095 forms late or not at all. Well, first of all, if you don't do something required by the IRS and federal government, it's safe to assume that there's going to be a penalty. For 2015 reporting, however, the IRS will not impose penalties on a filer for reporting incorrect or incomplete information IF that filer can show that he or she made good faith efforts to comply with the information reporting requirements for 2015.
The penalty for failure to file an information return is generally $250 for each missing return. The total penalty for failing to file during a calendar year cannot exceed $3,000,000.
The penalty for failure to provide a correct payee statement is $250 for each missing or incorrect statement, with the total penalty for a calendar year not to exceed $3,000,00.
Special rules apply that can increase these penalties if there is intentional disregard of the requirement to furnish a payee statement. So how about you avoid these penalties altogether? By making sure you get things filed correctly and on time with ExpressACAForms!
