It's hard to imagine someone visiting or living at Lake Tahoe who doesn't appreciate and respect nature. A large part of the reason that so many people choose to be here is the chance to enjoy the trees, mountains and wildlife of the High Sierra. So when people engage in behavior that is harmful to these aspects of the environment, it almost has to be through ignorance or carelessness rather than malice. But regardless of the intent, there is a certain activity that is almost guaranteed to end in a bad result for the natural world, and that activity is providing food for the area's native black bear population.
Sometimes people think that they're doing wildlife a favor by making food available for the animals. But more commonly, it is lifestyle choices made by individuals who make food available to bears in the form of trash or garbage. In other instances, homes and buildings are not adequately secured, and the food within tempts these canny creatures into making unwise choices.
The problem is not so much that human food and food remains are not healthy for bears (although that is certainly true). The larger issue is that once the animals become used to getting food in this manner, they begin to lose their natural inclination to avoid humans. This leads to conflict, and conflict between bears and humans ends badly for all involved, most usually in death for the bear.
Depending upon the jurisdiction in which a Tahoe bear becomes too used to humans or comes to associate homes or trash cans with food, it may be put down immediately or captured and relocated to a different area. In the latter case, the bear will also usually end up dead as it tries to deal with new surroundings, attempts to navigate obstacles in order to return to its original home or actually does make it back to Tahoe and is deemed to be a repeat offender.
For these reasons, the Incline Village Public Works Department has developed a Bear Smart Incline Village Program. Tips are offered on how to prevent conflict situations from coming about. For the most part, they involve common-sense behavior relating to your trash, such as not putting garbage out for pick up the night before trash day, and investing in bear-resistant garbage containers. Other tips are not so obvious, but they do make sense when you stop to think about them. These include keeping barbecue grills clean so that the food residue is not a temptation or keeping fruit trees clean and not letting ripe fruit gather on the ground.
Following the suggestions provided by IVGID to help keep the area's bears trash-free and away from humans is not particularly difficult and does have its rewards. Bears are large, wild animals that can kill or injure pets, be a danger to humans and cause thousands of dollars of property damage when they find themselves in certain situations. Working to prevent these situations makes everyone safer and avoids costly confrontations. Another reward for keeping bears from dumpster diving and other bad habits is the satisfaction of knowing that you've done your part to respect the native wildlife of Lake Tahoe, that you've contributed to a peaceful coexistence between nature and humanity.
For some, however, these rewards are not sufficient. When the carrot fails, it's time to use the stick, and in this case the stick exists in the form of a fine system for violations of trash-containment ordinances. Imposing financial charges against those who fail to heed the trash regulations designed to prevent bear problems has encouraged people to take these regulations more seriously, particularly in the commercial sphere. This is particularly important, given that the commercial dumpsters and garbage cans such as those found behind hotels, resorts and restaurants have the potential to provide bears with more garbage food on a more consistent basis than the residential trash cans. But proper trash management is also the responsibility of individuals, and those who do not correctly store their garbage or who put trash out prior to collection day can face fines of up to $1,000 for each instance.
When all is said and done, however, it primarily comes down to a matter of education. IVGID's Madonna Dunbar works to train volunteers to serve in community outreach for the Bear Smart program. She provides people with the tools and resources to let residents know about bear boxes for proper trash storage and containment and how to adopt a Tahoe lifestyle designed to minimize bear and human conflict. Dunbar and the District's Bear Smart program have a comprehensive list of best practices regarding trash in the Tahoe Basin. With minimal effort and just a little education, it's not hard at all to live in such a way as to convey respect and appreciation for the nature and beauty of Lake Tahoe.

Scott Brown to Donald Trump: Mitt Romney's a good fit, I'm 'best' for VA
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown talks with media at Trump Tower, Monday, Nov. 21, 2016 in New York. AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
By Kimberly Atkins | kimberly.atkins@bostonherald.com | Boston Herald
PUBLISHED: November 22, 2016 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: November 17, 2018 at 12:00 am
WASHINGTON — Former Bay State U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, who yesterday pitched himself to President-elect Donald Trump for the post of secretary of Veterans Affairs, also talked up Mitt Romney to head the State Department, saying the former Massachusetts governor would be a "brilliant choice."
Brown told the Herald that Trump asked his opinion of Romney during a meeting at Trump Tower in Manhattan, one of a flurry of meetings Trump had with prospective Cabinet nominees. Romney also met with Trump on Saturday in New Jersey to discuss the secretary of state post — the first face-to-face meeting since the president-elect and the 2012 GOP nominee made blistering attacks on each other during the campaign.
"I told Donald, when I was asked what I thought of Gov. Romney, that I think it would be a brilliant choice," Brown told the Herald after his meeting.
"It would be sending a very, very, very powerful message not only to our allies around the world, and also to our foes," Brown said, "to show how two people who battled and said things back and forth, in the end say, 'You know, we've got that out of our system and now let's put the country first.' "
Other names floated as potential secretary of state picks include former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee.
Brown, who called himself "the best person" to head the Department of Veterans Affairs, said that he would work quickly to put a new team in place to implement reforms, a move that would be aided by the Senate rule change ushered in by outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid that requires only 51 votes — rather than 60 — to confirm agency appointments.
Among Brown's proposals for overhauling the VA are plans to outsource some mental health services for veterans to private vendors, address the high suicide rate among veterans with measures including a new 24/7 hotline, eliminate waste, and refocus priorities in the budget.
He faces competition for the post, chiefly from Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.
Others meeting with Trump for potential Cabinet positions included Democratic U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who earlier this year resigned from a Democratic National Committee post amid a feud with then-DNC chairwoman and fellow Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz over accusations the committee favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. Gabbard later endorsed Sanders.

Are foreign institutions eligible to receive grant funding from NCCIH/NIH?
Foreign institutions may apply for direct funding under selected grant mechanisms and initiatives at NCCIH/NIH.
Foreign institutions may also receive support through subcontracts or consortium agreements, as collaborators of investigators at U.S. institutions.
What kinds of grants made directly to foreign institutions does NCCIH support?
Unless specifically excluded by Program Announcements (PAs) or Requests for Applications (RFAs), foreign institutions are eligible to apply for most types of investigator-initiated research project grants (the R03, R21 and R01 mechanisms).
In all cases, PAs and RFAs should be thoroughly read, particularly the "Eligible Institutions" section, in order to accurately assess the eligibility of foreign institutions for specific grant mechanisms and initiatives. Specific advice can be obtained from the program directors designated in the RFA or PA.
For what kinds of grants are foreign institutions ineligible for direct support from NCCIH?
What should foreign applicants know about the review process at NIH?
Information about the review process can be found at public.csr.nih.gov/ApplicantResources/InitialReviewResultsAppeals.
Are there special requirements of foreign applicants during the review process?
Whether the proposed project has specific relevance to the mission and objectives of NCCIH and has the potential for significantly advancing the health sciences in the U.S.
Research grant applications from foreign or international organizations must also be specifically approved for funding by NCCIH's National Advisory Council.
In addition, clearance by the U.S. Department of State may be required. Please also note that there are special requirements where foreign institutions in Brazil and India are concerned.
What U.S. Government policy requirements apply to grants made to foreign institutions or international organizations?
Are the same costs allowable under foreign and domestic grants?
Alteration and Renovation (A&R). Unallowable under foreign grants and domestic grants with foreign components.
Customs and import duties. Unallowable under foreign grants and domestic grants with foreign components. This includes consular fees, customs surtax, value-added taxes, and other related charges.
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs. With the exception of American University of Beirut and the World Health Organization, full F&A costs will not be allowed. However, NIH provides limited F&A costs (8 percent of total direct costs less equipment) to foreign institutions and international organizations to support the costs of compliance with NIH requirements including, but not limited to, protection of human subjects, animal welfare, and research misconduct. NIH will not support the acquisition of, or provide for depreciation on, any capital expenditures, or support the normal, general operations of foreign and international organizations.
Is it possible for foreign national scientists to study or conduct research on-site at NCCIH/NIH?
Training opportunities for foreign national scientists are available through the NIH Visiting Program. More information can be found at: https://www.ors.od.nih.gov/pes/dis/VisitingScientists/Pages/AboutNIHVisitingProgram.aspx. The Visiting Program is open to scientists at all career levels. There are two categories of program participants, Visiting Fellows, who receive awards for research training, and Visiting Scientists, who receive appointments to conduct research.
Are foreign national scientists eligible for NCCIH/NIH training and career development awards at foreign institutions?
No. Eligibility for the National Research Service Award (NRSA) for predoctoral (F31 mechanism), postdoctoral (F32 mechanism), and senior (F33 mechanism) fellowships requires that the applicant be a U.S. citizen, noncitizen national of the U.S., or have been lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence by the time of award. Career awards (K mechanisms) are also only available to those detailed above.
Where may foreign national scientists learn about other grant and fellowship opportunities at the NIH for which they may be eligible?
NIH's Fogarty International Center (FIC) promotes and supports scientific research and training internationally to reduce disparities in global health. Its Web site can be searched to learn more about research and training opportunities for which foreign national scientists may be eligible: www.fic.nih.gov.
Where may foreign national scientists learn about non-NIH grant and fellowship opportunities for which they may be eligible?
The Directory of International Grants and Fellowships in the Health Sciences is a potential resource.
Can NCCIH conduct an independent investigation of a product on which I am working (for instance, screening of a compound for in vitro or in vivo activity)?
In general, NCCIH does not conduct such investigations. NCCIH predominantly relies on investigators to submit competitive grant applications or collaborate with private industry in this regard. In exceptional cases (i.e. where preliminary data are especially compelling and the implications for global health are substantial) NCCIH may be able to facilitate the identification of collaborators who can provide assistance.
Where preliminary data are especially compelling, inquiries may be directed to the relevant NCCIH program directoridentified at: nccih.nih.gov/grants/contact. Investigators should be prepared to submit, if requested by the NCCIH program director, detailed pre-clinical or clinical data and other information to allow an analysis of the claim's merits. The requests and accompanying data would be treated as proprietary and confidential by NCCIH, and a Disclosure Agreement could be signed upon request.
Additionally, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) support resources that may be of interest.
NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program operates an anti-cancer screening program that is detailed at: dtp.cancer.gov/ .
NIAID's Resource Guide for the Development of AIDS Therapies contains information about resources to assist investigators in developing therapies for the treatment of HIV disease, opportunistic infections, tuberculosis and microbicide-based prevention strategies. Information can be found at: https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/antiretroviral-drug-develo….
How else may foreign institutions be supported?
Foreign institutions may also receive NIH/NCCIH support as foreign components of a grant made to a U.S.–based institution. In this case, funding occurs through a sub-contract from the grant. A "foreign component" consists of a significant element or segment of a project that is performed outside of the U.S., either by the grantee or by a researcher employed by a foreign institution, whether or not grant funds are expended.
What advantages exist in partnering with a U.S. based institution?
The NIH grant application and review process is complex. It is also highly competitive (e.g., see information about NCCIH's funding strategy, including the "success" rate for grant applications at: nccih.nih.gov/grants/strategy. The likelihood of success in this process is highly dependent on experience. For these reasons, many foreign investigators choose to work in a collaborative partnership with a U.S. investigator, who has a successful record of obtaining NIH funding and who can provide sound advice regarding the proposed research plan and grant application.
How may a foreign institution identify a skilled U.S. based investigator who may be interested in partnering on a NCCIH/NIH grant application?
RePORTER, an electronic tool that allows users to search a repository of NIH-funded research projects and access publications and patents resulting from NIH funding.

Digital Dreams Metrico playstation PlayStation Vita sony Sony Entertainment Network video games
Review: Metrico for PS Vita Justifies "Games as Art"
by Brian P. Rubin 6 years ago 2 min read
Since buying my PlayStation Vita a few years ago, I haven't given it a ton of use. It's certainly capable as a video game system, but there have been very few games made for the portable console that have made me sit up and take notice.
Metrico, made exclusively for the Vita by Dutch developer Digital Dreams, is the exception.
Simply put, if you own a Vita, you need to download this game. And if you don't own a Vita, you might want to consider grabbing one. Metrico is the kind of mind-bending game that helps justify the medium as an art form.
The game takes place in an abstract world of infographics, with landscapes populated by bar graphs, lines, angles, and percentages. You take the role of a faceless traveler who must navigate the world as you discover how your actions affect the world around you. That's the brilliant secret to Metrico: a jump or a fall might radically change your environment, blocking your path, and making you rethink what you do. The developers call this "input-morphing," and it demonstrates a sophisticated attitude toward what games can be. Metrico is a puzzle-platformer with more brains than most, and it'll frustrate and delight you in equal measure.
Even more exciting is the fact that Metrico takes advantage of just about every feature packed into the Vita. You can move and jump using traditional input methods, like the joystick, D-pad, and face buttons. But you'll also need to incorporate the rear touchpad, the front touchscreen, the internal gyroscope, and the rear camera at various points in order to succeed. The whole experience forces you to think outside the box and discover solutions to puzzles that will bend your brain and work out your fingers.
Visually, the style of Metrico is very simple, echoing the abstract and antiseptic world of infographs and charts. But despite its clean lines and simple shapes, Metrico still manages to evoke a kind of beauty and style rarely seen in many games. Playing this game is like interacting with a work of art that changes as you play. The score, composed by Dutch sound artist Palbomen, only adds to the haunting, ethereal magic of Metrico. It's an experience you won't soon forget.
At $13.99, Metrico is a fantastic bargain. And if you subscribe to Sony's PlayStation Plus promotion, you'll be able to download Metrico for free starting today, it's US release date. It'll be hitting the European PlayStation Store tomorrow, so no matter where you are, you'll have the opportunity to download and play this game. If you've been hoping for a unique gaming experience that will challenge and inspire you, then Metrico is exactly right for you.

North Koreans getting more foreign media than ever, study says
May 11, 2012 12:56 PM PT
Although North Korea remains one of the most closed countries in the world, more outside information is trickling in through foreign movies, television and radio than ever before, says a study commissioned by the State Department that surveyed hundreds of recent defectors.
But the growing access to outside information doesn't seem to change North Koreans' ideas about their own country -- a finding that splits from earlier research on the isolated nation.
Nearly half of the North Korean defectors who were surveyed said they had watched a foreign DVD, an illegal act that can be severely punished. Most of the movies were South Korean television dramas and films, which they often found appealing because they weren't saddled with obvious messages.
'North Korea only shows beautiful images,' a 26-year-old woman who left North Korea two years ago told the researchers. 'But in the South Korean dramas, there is fighting and I think that is realistic. There is also poverty, but in North Korea they only show you good things.'
The dramas also undercut North Korean propaganda. 'I was told when I was young that South Koreans are very poor, but the South Korean dramas proved that just isn't the case,' a 31-year-old man said.
Figuring out what is happening inside North Korea is a daunting task. The regime controls its media. Internet access is scant. Foreign journalists who are granted rare permission to visit the country are accompanied by government minders.
Because of those restrictions, research on North Korea relies heavily on interviewing people who've left the country. The researchers cautioned that the refugees and defectors may not be statistically representative of the entire North Korean population in their beliefs and behaviors.
Besides watching foreign DVDs, roughly a quarter of the defectors surveyed said they had seen foreign television or heard foreign radio while in North Korea. Some of the elite have also been able to bring in computers, USB drives and illegal Chinese cellphones, the study found.
However, word-of-mouth, not technology, was widely seen as the most important source of information. Almost all of the North Korean defectors who were surveyed said they had gotten information through 'rumors' that wasn't available in the North Korean state media.
The findings from the Intermedia consulting group echo an earlier study done by researchers Stephan Haggard and Marcus Noland, which found that outside media were increasingly reaching the country.
But whereas the earlier study tied media consumption to questioning the regime, the new research found that outside media didn't necessarily affect North Koreans' beliefs about their country, though the outside media did make them more sympathetic toward South Korea and the United States.
'It's something that we don't quite understand,' said Leon Sigal, director of the Northeast Asia Cooperative Security Project at the Social Science Research Council. 'The hold that the regime has on people goes way beyond propaganda.'

Time to celebrate redheadcandecorate.com and take a look back.
I've never had a "blogiversary" before. The 1st year seemed rather pre-mature, the 2nd year slipped by with out me noticing, so I thought I would gather some of my favorite blog friends for the 3rd year and ask them to join me in offering our followers this incredible "$500.00 Cash Giveaway"!
Please join me in thanking all of these very generous bloggers that helped make this happen. After all, I wouldn't have been able to give away $500.00 on my own. That would be cray cray.
You may have noticed my Mom decided to join us, too.
My Mom doesn't have a blog, but she is very excited for me and my blogging success. I was thrilled when she offered to contribute and be a part of this wonderful celebration.
Before we get to the giveaway, I wanted to get a little mushy with you, and then I thought I would throw in a few of my most favorite projects in case you missed them.
Blogging has changed my life.
redheadcandecorate.com grows larger and more successful every day. I closely follow my statistics, and every day I gain more and more wonderful followers. My page views have also increased dramatically. It still SHOCKS me that all of you lovely folks want to learn from me.
Blogging has become a "more than full time" position for me. It is a lot of hard work, however I am now earning an income and having to file taxes! I'm working with large brands, being featured in national magazines (one more coming up any day now), and even have the privilege to work with celebrity Chefs Emeril Lagasse & Laura Vitale.
I feel darn blessed that when this fell on my lap, I was able to take it and run with it. I want this to be an example to my children and other folks that your passions can turn into a career.
I can honestly say that I feel complete inside. I have never felt more satisfied in all avenues of my life.
So, thank you. Thank you to you for being here, my blog friends for helping me along the way, and most of all to my amazing family for all of their support (especially Rick).
Good luck & thank you for being here!

Letter ID: 089 (URL: http://www.bessofhardwick.org/letter.jsp?letter=089)
From: Mary Talbot
Mary Talbot (née Cavendish; b. 1556, d. 1632) was one of Bess's daughters from her marriage with Sir William Cavendish, who died in 1557 when she was only a year old. Following her mother's marriage to George, sixth earl of Shrewsbury (and to serve their interests), on 9 February 1568, when Mary was around twelve-years old, she was married to the earl's son from his previous marriage, Gilbert Talbot. That is to say, Mary was married to her step-brother, at which point the earl became both her step-father and father-in-law. (At the same time, her brother Henry was married to the earl's daughter Grace.) Mary's husband Gilbert was the second son but as his older brother Frances died in 1582, Gilbert succeeded to the earldom, and he and Mary became seventh earl and countess of Shrewsbury, after his father died on 18 November 1590. Mary and Gilbert's two sons, George and John, died in infancy and therefore their three daughters became joint heirs to their father's titles and great estate: Mary Herbert, countess of Pembroke (d. 1650), Elizabeth Grey, countess of Kent (1582-1651) and Aletheia Howard, countess of Arundel (b. after 1582, d. 1654). Mary was better educated than her mother Bess and is known for her strong-mindedness, intelligence and opinions, as well as for her conversion to Roman Catholicism as an adult. She was involved in the elopement and escape plans of her niece Arbella Stuart in 1610 and subsequently, when she refused to testify, was imprisoned in the Tower for several years. She spoke up for her mother, Bess, to queen Elizabeth, in 1587, during her estrangement from Shrewsbury. Despite some of their differences, Mary is said to have been genuinely distressed when her mother died in 1608 and was remembered by Bess in her will.

To: Bess of Hardwick
Born Elizabeth Hardwick (in c.1521/2, d. 13 February 1608), the woman known to posterity as Bess of Hardwick married four times during her life, as a result of which her name changed from Hardwick to Barlow (or Barley), Cavendish, St Loe and then finally (when she was countess of Shrewsbury and then dowager countess) Talbot. As one of the five children of John Hardwick (1495-1528) of Hardwick, Derbyshire, and his first wife, Elizabeth (née Leake), Bess had three sisters (Mary, Jane and Alice) and one brother (James). The Hardwicks were established Derbyshire gentry who had inherited a modest manor house and c.400 acres in and around Hardwick. But when John died in 1528, and their lands were seized by the crown, Bess faced hardship. Bess's mother quickly remarried but her new husband, Ralph Leche of Chatsworth, Derbyshire, brought little land or money to the marriage, and three more daughters were born (Bess's half-sisters Elizabeth, Jane and Margaret). Little else is known of Bess's childhood but, while still young, she was married for the first time, to Robert Barlow (or Barley) of Barlow, Derbyshire, sometime in or before 1543. Barlow died in 1544 and Bess received a small inheritance. In 1547 she married the twice-widowed Sir William Cavendish, treasurer of the king's chamber. Bess and Cavendish had eight children, six of whom survived: Frances (1548), Henry (1550), William (1551, from whom the dukes of Devonshire are descended), Charles (1553, from whom the dukes of Newcastle and Portland are descended), Elizabeth (1554) and Mary (1556). Probably due to a mixture of affection and shared social ambition, Bess's second marriage was happy and fortuitous. She was now moving in courtly circles and experiencing (for the first time) considerable wealth. In 1549 Cavendish and Bess bought the estate of Chatsworth, which was held jointly in both their names and which he and then Bess, following Cavendish's death in 1557, ambitiously rebuilt. Soon after her second husband's death, and sometime before Elizabeth I's accession (in 1558), Bess married Sir William St Loe, a wealthy widower of ancient noble pedigree. St Loe was captain of the guard to the young queen and in addition to further improving Bess's finances, he also brought her into the queen's inner circle and she served briefly as a gentlewoman of the queen's privy chamber (in 1559). The marriage seems to have not been without affection; however, the two would have spent most of it apart - he serving the queen in London and Bess mostly at Chatsworth. Upon St Loe's death (probably in 1565), Bess inherited most of the estate. In 1567 Bess married for a final time, to George Talbot, sixth earl of Shrewsbury, one of the richest and most powerful men in England. To consolidate the union of their fortunes, the couple had Bess's eldest son, Henry, marry Shrewsbury's daughter (from his previous marriage), and Shrewsbury's eldest son, Gilbert (later the seventh earl), marry Bess's daughter, Mary. Also around this time, Shrewsbury was appointed to be the keeper of Mary Queen of Scots (from 1568-84). At first, relations between Bess and the Catholic Scottish queen seem to have been amicable; however, relations deteriorated all around as Bess's marriage to Shrewsbury broke down in the 1580s. An infamously nasty and highly public legal battle over estates ensued and finally the courts resolved that Shrewsbury provide Bess with a sizeable income from 1587 onwards (Shrewsbury died in 1590). In 1582, Bess took charge of the upbringing of her orphaned granddaughter, Arbella Stuart (1575-1615), claimant to the English and Scottish crowns. In 1587, Bess undertook her remarkable building works at Hardwick: the house now known as Hardwick Old Hall was complete by 1591; next to it, the extraordinary building now known as Hardwick New Hall was complete by 1599 and is one of the greatest architectural ventures of Elizabethan England. It was at Hardwick that Bess spent most of the remainder of her life, much of it devoted to caring for and managing Arbella, who came to loathe her existence in Derbyshire and devised several bizarre plans for her escape (to Bess's great distress). Bess also quarrelled with her eldest son, Henry, and disinherited both him and Arbella in her will. She left most of her estate to her beloved and faithful son, William Cavendish, who continued her great dynasty into the seventeenth century.
Date: 8 July [1607]
Summary: Mary, countess of Shrewsbury, writes to her mother, Bess (dowager countess of Shrewsbury), thanking her for a gift of ermine fur and reporting news related to the christening of Bess's great-grandson James (Howard), including the queen's journey to attend it. She is glad that Bess's hip pain has lessened, although she herself is troubled with a pain in her head.

Perhaps appropriately, the first Reclaiming the Piazza book was born in the Eternal City, Rome.
During a 2010 conference at the University of the Holy Cross, Cav Ronnie Convery and Dr Leonardo Franchi discussed how to overcome the prejudices of both secular and religious worldviews which prevented the richness of Catholic culture contributing to the wider development of a plural society. They agreed that the way forward was an attempt to 'reclaim' space in the modern day Areopagus for the Christian proposal, presented respectfully as a contribution to the common good.
Drawing inspiration from a variety of sources, among them the Catholic Church in Italy's Progetto Culturale, Ronnie and Leonardo, along with Dr Raymond McCluskey, co-wrote Reclaiming the Piazza: Catholic Education as a Cultural Project. It was published in 2014 with an afterword by Professor Bob Davis. We had two launch events, first in the Aula Paolo VI in the Vatican (19 September 2014) and then in the University of Glasgow (23 November 2014).
In 2017 Reclaiming the Piazza II: Catholic Education and the New Evangelisation was published. This was an edited book with both theoretical reflections and practical applications. There were three launch events: 12 December 2017 in Glasgow; 31 January 2018 in St Mary's University, London and 22 September 2017, once more in Rome at the 2nd World Congress on Catechesis.
In 2019, Ronnie and Leonardo were joined by Jack Valero, co-founder of Catholic Voices, as the third editor of a new volume, Reclaiming the Piazza III: Communicating Catholic Culture. This will be launched in summer 2021.


Playerunknown's Battlegrounds has entered an agreement with social media giant Facebook to host exclusive livestream content on the latter's website. What made Facebook decide to do this? The game's popularity and earning potential no doubt played a role, but the employees at the big blue F also just like to play it.
So what will the streams be focused on? Bluehole informed Polygon that they "will highlight different aspect of the Battlegrounds community." The first few streams will be hosted by community managers, then the show will open up to popular content creators. Battlegrounds on Facebook will be a weekly stream, going live Monday nights at 7.
This isn't the first game Facebook has taken an interest in promoting. Expanding into esports coverage has been one of their recent new priorities, and they've also inked streaming deals with companies like Blizzard.

(Pablo Ruiz y Picasso) (pä`blō pēkä`sō; ro͞oēth` ē), 1881–1973, Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and ceramist, who worked in France. He is generally considered in his technical virtuosity, enormous versatility, and incredible originality and prolificity to have been the foremost figure in 20th-century art.
Early Life and Work
A precocious draftsman, Picasso was admitted to the advanced classes at the Royal Academy of Art in Barcelona at 15. After 1900 he spent much time in Paris, remaining there from 1904 to 1947, when he moved to the South of France. His power is revealed in his very early works, some of which were influenced by Toulouse-Lautrec (such as Old Woman, 1901; Philadelphia Mus. of Art).
Picasso's artistic production is usually described in terms of a series of overlapping periods. In his "blue period" (1901–4) he depicted the world of the poor. Predominantly in tones of blue, these melancholy paintings (such as The Old Guitarist, 1903; Art Inst. of Chicago) are among the most popular art works of the century. Canvases from Picasso's "rose period" (1905–6) are characterized by a lighter palette and greater lyricism, with subject matter often drawn from circus life. Picasso's Parisian studio attracted the major figures of the avant-garde at this time, including Matisse, Braque, Apollinaire, and Gertrude Stein. He had already produced numerous engravings of great power and began his work in sculpture during these years.
In 1907 Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (Mus. of Modern Art, New York City), a radical departure from the artistic ideas of the preceding ages and now considered the most significant work in the development toward cubismcubism,
art movement, primarily in painting, originating in Paris c.1907. Cubist Theory
Cubism began as an intellectual revolt against the artistic expression of previous eras.

art created from the 19th cent. to the mid-20th cent. by artists who veered away from the traditional concepts and techniques of painting, sculpture, and other fine arts that had been practiced since the Renaissance (see Renaissance art and architecture).
..... Click the link for more information. ). The influence of Cézanne and of African sculpture is apparent in its fragmented forms and unprecedented distortions. The painting heralded the first phase of cubism, called analytic cubism. This severe, intellectual style was conceived and developed by Picasso, Braque, and Gris c.1909–12. Picasso's Female Nude (1910–11; Philadelphia Mus. of Art) is a representative painting and his Woman's Head (1909; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City) a representative sculpture of this style.
In the synthetic phase of cubism (after 1912) his forms became larger and more representational, and flat, bright decorative patterns replaced the earlier, more austere compositions. The Three Musicians (1921; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City) exemplifies this style. Picasso's cubist works established firmly that the work of art may exist as a significant object beyond any attempt to represent reality. During both periods of cubism experiments by Picasso and others resulted in several new techniques, including collagecollage
[Fr.,=pasting], technique in art consisting of cutting and pasting natural or manufactured materials to a painted or unpainted surface—hence, a work of art in this medium.

Other Stylistic Innovations
Picasso's enormous energy and fecundity was manifested by another development. In the 1920s he drew heavily on classical themes and produced magnificent monumental nudes and monsters that were reminiscent of antiquity and rendered with a certain anguished irony. These works appeared simultaneously with synthetic cubist paintings. Picasso was for a time saluted as a forerunner of surrealismsurrealism
, literary and art movement influenced by Freudianism and dedicated to the expression of imagination as revealed in dreams, free of the conscious control of reason and free of convention.

The artist sought to strengthen the emotional impact of his work and became preoccupied with the delineation of agony. In 1937 the bombing of the Spanish town of Guernica impelled him to produce his second landmark painting, Guernica (Queen Sophia Center of Art, Madrid), an impassioned allegorical condemnation of fascism and war. Long held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the work was transferred to Spain's PradoPrado, Museo Nacional del
, Spanish national museum of painting and sculpture, in Madrid, one of the finest in Europe. Situated on the Paseo del Prado, it was begun by the architect Juan de Villanueva in 1785 for Charles III, as a museum of natural history, and finished under

Later Life and Work
In his later years Picasso turned to creations of fantasy and comic invention. He worked consistently in sculpture, ceramics, and in the graphic arts, producing thousands of superb drawings, illustrations, and stage designs. With unabated vigor he painted brilliant variations on the works of other masters, including Delacroix and Velázquez, and continued to explore new aspects of his personal vision until his death. His notable later works include Rape of the Sabines (1963; Picasso Mus., Paris) and Young Bather with Sand Shovel (1971; private collection, France). By virtue of his vast energies and overwhelming power of invention Picasso remains outstanding among the masters of the ages.

Readers,
365 days have finally drew to a close. In its stead is a fresh set of 366 days. With the conclusion of a year is the commencement of a new one.

I also made a list of 10 books I look forward to in 2018 and 2019. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to complete all the books in both lists. But here I am again, preparing a list of 10 books I am looking forward to in 2020. Hopefully, after two failed attempts, I will be able to read all of these books.
1. Woven in Moonlight, Isabel Ibañez
Synopsis:Ximena is the decoy Condesa, a stand-in for the last remaining Illustrian royal. Her people lost everything when the usurper, Atoc, used an ancient relic to summon ghosts and drive the Illustrians from La Ciudad. Now Ximena's motivated by her insatiable thirst for revenge, and her rare ability to spin thread from moonlight.
When Atoc demands the real Condesa's hand in marriage, it's Ximena's duty to go in her stead. She relishes the chance, as Illustrian spies have reported that Atoc's no longer carrying his deadly relic. If Ximena can find it, she can return the true aristócrata to their rightful place.
She hunts for the relic, using her weaving ability to hide messages in tapestries for the resistance. But when a masked vigilante, a warm-hearted princess, and a thoughtful healer challenge Ximena, her mission becomes more complicated. There could be a way to overthrow the usurper without starting another war, but only if Ximena turns her back on revenge—and her Condesa.
Release date: January 7
2. My Dark Vanessa, Kate Elizabeth Russell
Synopsis: 2000. Bright, ambitious, and yearning for adulthood, fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye becomes entangled in an affair with Jacob Strane, her magnetic and guileful forty-two-year-old English teacher.
2017. Amid the rising wave of allegations against powerful men, a reckoning is coming due. Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life? Is it possible that the man she loved as a teenager—and who professed to worship only her—may be far different from what she has always believed?
Release date: January 23
3. The Girl With The Louding Voice, Abi Daré
Synopsis: Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" – the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir.
When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing.
But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow; she finds the resolve to speak, however she can–in a whisper, in song, in broken English–until she is heard.
Release date: February 4
4. The Glass Hotel, Emily St. John Mandel
Synopsis: Vincent is a bartender at the Hotel Caiette, a five-star hotel on the northernmost tip of Vancouver Island. On the night she meets Jonathan Alkaitis, a hooded figure scrawls a message on the lobby's glass wall: "Why don't you swallow broken glass." Leon Prevant, a shipping executive for Neptune-Avradimis, reads the words and orders a drink to calm down. Alkaitis, the owner of the hotel and a wealthy investment manager, arrives too late to read the threat, never knowing it was intended for him. He leaves Vincent a hundred dollar tip along with his business card, and a year later they are living together as husband and wife.
High above Manhattan, a greater crime is committed: Alkaitis is running an international Ponzi scheme, moving imaginary sums of money through clients' accounts. He holds the life savings of an artist named Olivia Collins, the fortunes of a Saudi prince and his extended family, and countless retirement funds, including Leon Prevant's. The collapse of the financial empire is as swift as it is devastating, obliterating fortunes and lives, while Vincent walks away into the night. Until, years later, she steps aboard a Neptune-Avramidis vessel, the Neptune Cumberland, and disappears from the ship between ports of call.
Release date: March 24
5. How Much of These Hills Is Gold, C Pam Zhang
Synopsis: An electric debut novel set against the twilight of the American gold rush, two siblings are on the run in an unforgiving landscape—trying not just to survive but to find a home.
Ba dies in the night; Ma is already gone. Newly orphaned children of immigrants, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence. Fleeing the threats of their western mining town, they set off to bury their father in the only way that will set them free from their past. Along the way, they encounter giant buffalo bones, tiger paw prints, and the specters of a ravaged landscape as well as family secrets, sibling rivalry, and glimpses of a different kind of future.
Release date: April 2
6. The Beauty of Your Face, Sahar Mustafa
Synopsis: A Palestinian American woman wrestles with faith, loss, and identity before coming face-to-face with a school shooter in this searing debut.
A uniquely American story told in powerful, evocative prose, The Beauty of Your Face navigates a country growing ever more divided. Afaf Rahman, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, is the principal of Nurrideen School for Girls, a Muslim school in the Chicago suburbs. One morning, a shooter—radicalized by the online alt-right—attacks the school.
As Afaf listens to his terrifying progress, we are swept back through her memories: the bigotry she faced as a child, her mother's dreams of returning to Palestine, and the devastating disappearance of her older sister that tore her family apart. Still, there is the sweetness of the music from her father's oud, and the hope and community Afaf finally finds in Islam.
7. Afterlife, Julia Alvarez
Synopsis: Antonia Vega, the immigrant writer at the center of Afterlife, has had the rug pulled out from under her. She has just retired from the college where she taught English when her beloved husband, Sam, suddenly dies. And then more jolts: her bighearted but unstable sister disappears, and Antonia returns home one evening to find a pregnant, undocumented teenager on her doorstep. Antonia has always sought direction in the literature she loves—lines from her favorite authors play in her head like a soundtrack—but now she finds that the world demands more of her than words.
8. If I Had Your Face, Frances Cha
Synopsis: Kyuri is a heartbreakingly beautiful woman with a hard-won job at a "room salon," an exclusive bar where she entertains businessmen while they drink. Though she prides herself on her cold, clear-eyed approach to life, an impulsive mistake with a client may come to threaten her livelihood.
Her roommate, Miho, is a talented artist who grew up in an orphanage but won a scholarship to study art in New York. Returning to Korea after college, she finds herself in a precarious relationship with the super-wealthy heir to one of Korea's biggest companies.
Down the hall in their apartment building lives Ara, a hair stylist for whom two preoccupations sustain her: obsession with a boy-band pop star, and a best friend who is saving up for the extreme plastic surgery that is commonplace.
And Wonna, one floor below, is a newlywed trying to get pregnant with a child that she and her husband have no idea how they can afford to raise and educate in the cutthroat economy.
Together, their stories tell a gripping tale that's seemingly unfamiliar, yet unmistakably universal in the way that their tentative friendships may have to be their saving grace.
Release date: April 21
9. All My Mother's Lovers, Ilana Masad
Synopsis: Intimacy has always eluded twenty-seven-year-old Maggie Krause—despite being brought up by married parents, models of domestic bliss—until, that is, Lucia came into her life. But when Maggie's mom, Iris, dies in a car crash, Maggie returns home only to discover a withdrawn dad, an angry brother, and, along with Iris's will, five sealed envelopes, each addressed to a mysterious man she's never heard of.
In an effort to run from her own grief and discover the truth about Iris—who made no secret of her discomfort with her daughter's sexuality—Maggie embarks on a road trip, determined to hand-deliver the letters and find out what these men meant to her mother. Maggie quickly discovers Iris's second, hidden life, which shatters everything Maggie thought she knew about her parents' perfect relationship. What is she supposed to tell her father and brother? And how can she deal with her own relationship when her whole world is in freefall?
Release date: May 26
10. A Burning, Megha Majumdar
Synopsis: After a fiery attack on a train leaves 104 people dead, the fates of three people become inextricably entangled. Jivan, a bright, striving woman from the slums looking for a way out of poverty, is wrongly accused of planning the attack because of a careless comment on Facebook. PT Sir, a slippery gym teacher from Jivan's former high school, has hitched his aspirations to a rising right wing party, and his own ascent becomes increasingly linked to Jivan's fall. Lovely, a spirited, impoverished, relentlessly optimistic hjira, who harbors dreams of becoming a Bollywood star, can provide the alibi that would set Jivan free–but her appearance in court will have unexpected consequences that will change the course of all of their lives.
Popular authors JM Coetzee, Isabel Allende, David Mitchell Sue Monk Kidd and Anne Tyler are also set to publish new books this year. They are authors whose works I immensely liked so I am also looking forward to their new works. Looking through my list, I've noted that these are all authors whose works I have never read before. Which is the same with my 2019 list. I guess this challenge is an offer to venture into new worlds.
How about you fellow readers, what books do you look forward to in 2020? Please share them in the comment box or you can do your own list and tag me. It would be a pleasure going through your own lists.

Embattled Russia Rights Activists Ask Clinton For Help
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (left) meets with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
MOSCOW (Reuters) -- Russian rights advocates have met visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to ask for Washington's help in protecting the lives of campaigners and bringing the killers of activists to justice.
Two days after Russia's ruling party won a big victory in regional elections that the opposition said were rigged, Clinton met human rights activists, journalists and officials dealing with rights issues -- but not opposition politicians.
In remarks prepared for delivery at the private meeting, Clinton said Washington would always uphold democratic standards and praised the bravery of Russia's rights activists.
"Those of you here today understand the risks. You have seen friends and colleagues harassed, intimidated and even killed. And yet you go on working and writing, refusing to be silenced," Clinton said, according to comments issued by U.S. officials.
Tanya Lokshina of Human Rights Watch, who took part in the hour-long meeting with Clinton at the U.S. ambassador's residence in Moscow, said Washington must keep pressing Russia to improve its rights record.
"It should always be made possible that human rights issues of a pressing nature are raised," Lokshina said, adding that she had told Clinton about the murder of activists and the failure of legal probes into their deaths.
Clinton made no mention of Russian rights issues or Sunday's disputed regional elections during a joint news conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, but did tell the activists that she would raise their concerns with the Kremlin.
"In our discussions with the Russian government, we will continue to express our support for efforts to improve governance and advance human rights. We will continue to stress the importance of holding those who commit crimes accountable."
The robust language contrasted with her earlier emphasis on cooperation and partnership at the news conference.
There she added a reference to President Barack Obama's promise to "reset" stormy U.S.-Russia relations, saying: "I feel very good about the so-called 'reset.'"
A leading Russian daily seized on comments by Obama's top adviser on Russia, Michael McFaul, after a Kremlin meeting on October 12, arguing they meant Washington had decided to tone down public criticism of Moscow's record on democracy and human rights to pursue a more constructive relationship.
"It is not his [Obama's] style to lecture people and to wag his finger," McFaul said. "He has a different approach to it."
The "Kommersant" daily said, "Mr. McFaul gave to understand that the U.S. no longer intends to teach Russia about democracy, something which irritates Moscow, but instead to concentrate on practical work with NGOs."
U.S. officials said "Kommersant" had misinterpreted McFaul's remarks and that Washington would still bring up democracy and rights issues with Russian officials on a regular basis.
Nonetheless, the "Kommersant" report caused dismay among Kremlin opponents, still smarting from the October 11 regional elections in which the ruling United Russia party trounced opponents amid accusations of foul play.
Moscow radio station Ekho Moskvy, a station sometimes critical of the government, ran a morning phone-in asking its listeners whether Washington was "right to drop criticism of Russian democracy and human rights." Some 72.5 percent of callers said it was wrong.
Human rights groups have been sharply critical of Russia in recent years.
They charge that an increasing concentration of power in the hands of the Kremlin has eroded democracy, marginalized opponents, and led to a growing number of serious abuses.
One participant at the meeting with Clinton, who raised the murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya and human rights activist Natalia Estemirova, said it would have been pointless to invite opposition politicians because they had no clout.
"I don't think it would have been a good idea because the political opposition in Russia is really marginal, not because they're stupid people and not because they have no audience, but because in a society which is not democratic, there is basically no opposition," said opposition journalist Yulia Latynina.


NIS America today released a new trailer showcasing the new "Labyrinth of Yomi" expansion that's included in their upcoming Switch SRPG, God Wars The Complete Legend.
The Labyrinth of Yomi introduces a brand-new storyline into the game. It features new battles to wage, characters to meet, and the addition of more refined gameplay mechanics, making it the definitive edition of Kadokawa Corporation's tactical RPG.
Take a look at what's in store in this exciting expansion in the trailer below. The footage showcases some of the story, new characters introduced in the expansion. Additionally, it highlights some of the new mechanics you'll get to experience when the game launches in the West.
While this extra piece of content is included in the Switch version of God Wars The Complete Legend, PlayStation 4 and Vita owners aren't being left in the cold. They'll be able to download the Labyrinth of Yomi DLC from the PlayStation Store for $19.99.
God Wars: The Complete Legend is an enhanced port of last year's PlayStation 4 and Vita RPG God Wars: Future Past. The game's story explores the untold history of Japan through folklore and tactical combat through the eyes of three warring nations.
Those wanting to dive into this new chapter won't have to wait too long. Both God Wars The Complete Legend and the Labyrinth of Yomi DLC will be available on September 4 in North America and August 31 in Europe.


Nothing is automatic: Democrats need to do the hard, unglamorous work of party-building. And Republicans seem intent on giving them the opportunity.
This is not a new problem for Democrats. Back in the days when Mitt Romney's "self-deportation" rhetoric was considered extreme, the party was salivating over spring 2012 polls showing that Barack Obama would take 70 percent of Latino voters. (For comparison, the party currently leads 64-22 among Hispanic voters in the generic House ballot.) As I reported at the time, few experts thought in 2012 that these lopsided numbers portended a blue wave in states like Arizona or Texas. In part, this was because Latino and Hispanic voters tended slightly more conservative in those deep-red states than they did nationally, but mostly it was because their turnout was so low, and state party organizations were, in general, not up to the task of registering voters and getting them to the polls in large enough numbers.
Still, even if the imminent midterms don't leave Democrats with enough time to build up the electorate they need, the ongoing self-destruction that is the GOP's approach to Hispanic and Latino voters may still give them a chance to turn things around. Vox notes an underappreciated nuance about these voters' politics: They don't like Trump, but they're also internally diverse and not straightforwardly liberal. A more strategic GOP might try to think creatively of ways to exploit those dynamics, and to avoid the kind of rank antagonism that may be catalyzing what public opinion expert Gary Segura calls a pan-Latino identity. But this is a party that has decided, at almost all levels, to line up squarely behind President Trump—a man who seems to be entirely driven by his impulses, his appetites, and his hatreds. Whatever slim chance there was of the GOP abandoning this self-destructive path before Trump came along, there's even less now. The only question is whether the opposition will do anything about it.

NEW DELHI: The government is reviewing the Drug (Prices Control) Order, 2013, to sort out implementation issues and make it more efficient — both for consumers and the industry.
"We are discussing…and will keep discussing to see if there are any anomalies in the order and at the same time, we want to make the regulations more clear," sources said.
"There is a need to review the implementation of DPCO 2013 to resolve genuine practical problems of implementation. The government may implement a predictable and stable price control mechanism through a consultative approach with the industry," the task force had said in its report submitted last month.
