That little pencil sharpener has turned out to be one of the best 50p's I've never spent. It's not even mine: it belongs to the girl with an eye for a bargain, an interest in colouring pencils and a mother who loves useful stationery items and isn't above borrowing them when her daughter is out of the house.
But think about it: if you were to make a list of your favourite little things which didn't cost a lot, but which work perfectly and look attractive in some way at the same time...wouldn't it include a few items from the stationery aisle?
Perfectly plain pencils, maybe? A neat little stapler? A pack of buff coloured luggage labels? What's your pleasure?
Cute gadget; cute page! Love the pencil embellishment; you always seem to find the perfect embellishments for your pages!
Oh yes, there are so many wonderful office supply products that would make my list of favorites . . . like cute colorful butterfly clips!
I really like your mouse pencil sharpener & that page that tells its tale (tail).
Best freebie gadget I have is an olive green kitchen timer from my father in law's kitchen. I use it to set time for wandering Pinterest. But the coolest stationery item I have seen is my friend's red high heel tape dispenser.
why thanks for asking! I'm in love with my mini stapler! And that is a cute sharpener! quite a little jealous about it too! hugs!
My current favourites are shaped paperclips. I do love that wee sharpener and I'm glad you gave it a page (and a tail) of its own!
At the moment, one of those flower shaped paint palettes. It sits on my desk and each 'petal' holds a monster or zombie stone that I got for Christmas in my Secret Santa stocking. They are so cute and so smooth that I just like to handle them now and again , housed in my little palette they are on show and in easy reach.
Am loving reading back and catching up on everything I've missed Sian. And I've missed LOADS!
Love the tail and the tale! Ah, how I love stationery items. I'd have to look around to see what bargains I have in that category. And the page is simply gorgeous. Of course!
I love that pop of red. The story is a beaut & you're making me think I need to get my sewing machine out......but first I have to do a LO. Haven't done that for over 7 weeks now. Ewwwww.....wonder if I still can??!!!!
A super page Sian. and a cute mouse. I have a pink Tigger stapler. It's the only survivor from a bargain set bought years ago.
I'd go for a hole punch! There's so much you can do with that. Punch holes and tie things on or make a border. Endless possibilities.
Adorable page love your tale and tail! And when it comes to stationery items - there is a lot of sharing between Mom and daughter in this house as well - often when one or the other is not around!!

Гораціо - персонаж трагедії Вільяма Шекспіра "Гамлет". Походження Гораціо невідоме, хоча він був присутній на полі бою, коли батько Гамлета переміг «амбітну Норвегію», і відвідав університет у Віттенберзі з принцом Гамлетом. Гораціо, мабуть, безпосередньо не бере участі в інтригах при датському дворі. Таким чином, він робить хороший фон для принца Гамлета. Він часто не визначає як будь-якої конкретної позиції суду, виконує роль «друга Гамлета».
Гораціо робить свою першу появу в акті 1, сцені 1, коли він, Бернардо, Марцелл і Франсіско зіткнутися з привидом померлого короля Гамлета. Він, перейнявшись, сказав, що буде спілкуватися з привидом по Марцелла, і безуспішно намагається зробити це. Саме він потім пояснює умови, що зумовлюють смерть короля Гамлета.

Він ділить із Гамлетом всі його тривоги, сумніви і всі його безумства. Після поєдинку Гамлета з братом Офелії, у якого було отруєне вістря шпаги, Гораціо відчуває серцем трагічний кінець і просить свого товариша: «Ще подиши на цьому світі й про мене розкажи». Взагалі кожен персонаж Шекспіра по-своєму особливий, неповторний і незабутній.

Образ Гораціо та його роль в творі
Під час обговорення та детальному розгляді трагедії, Гораціо зазвичай не приділяється багато уваги. Але при цьому він грає найважливішу роль в ідейному задумі твору.

Він, як і Привид, служить для визначення ідеалу людини. За словами Гамлета він «найкращий з людей», йому притаманні найкращі людські якості, він урівноважений і спокійний, будь-які пристрасті чужі йому.

Гораціо характерний раціоналізм, він послідовник стоїцизму, отже, вірить, що управляє всім світом провидіння, а людина зобов'язана смиренно підкорятися його волі.

Гамлет з одного боку говорить, що це і його ідеал, але з іншого боку хіба він вільний від надмірних емоцій? Звичайно, немає, він людина пристрасний, він не може миритися зі злом і несправедливістю, висловлює затяті протести і обурення.

Поведінка Гамлета і його ідеали сильно різняться, але потім настає переломний момент, після якого герой стає більш покірним долі, але при цьому залишаючись все одно противником жорстокості і несправедливості. Але він не турбується про те, що стосується саме його.

На самому початку трагедії між Гамлетом і Гораціо спостерігається протилежність поглядів на життя: Гамлет сповнений пристрастей і метань, Гораціо тримається спокійно і розважливо.

Але до кінця твору герої ніби міняються місцями. Гораціо готовий померти разом з другом, а Гамлет, навіть вмираючи, залишається спокійним.

CUBAN CULTURAL LIFE
Cuban culture has undergone a major transformation since the revolution, and the government has come to play a leading role in it. Since the creation of the Ministry of Culture in 1976, this role has expanded to include a network of professional and amateur cultural organizations throughout the country. Cultural institutions before 1959 were generally limited to Havana, (and to a lesser extent, the provincial capitals) and were almost entirely privately run. Before 1959 Cuba had some 100 libraries and half a dozen museums; today it has approximately 2,000 libraries and 250 museums located throughout the country. The Ministry of Culture directs a program of education in music, visual arts, ballet, dramatic arts, and modern dance, culminating in the university-level Higher Institute of Art. More than 200 neighbourhood cultural centres (casas de cultura) offer workshops in all branches of the arts.
For family and personal entertainment, the cinema remains extremely popular, and Havana hosts one of the largest film festivals in Latin America each year. In Havana and Santiago drama groups have regular performances. Music and dance remain an important part of Cuban life. A variety of classical and popular musical groups offer weekend performances, and many kinds of music are heard on the streets, especially along the Malecón, Havana's seaside promenade that remains a magnet for youths, especially in the evenings and on weekends. Music is also an integral part of the Afro-Cuban religion Santería, which can be found on the island.
Havana is Cuba's cultural hub and the home of most of its museums, libraries, professional associations, and performing troupes. The Cuban Academy of Sciences (1962) and the Cuban Academy of Language (1926) are among the leading learned societies. The José Martí National Library (1901) and the National Archive of Cuba (1840) have significant holdings. Among the major institutions supporting the performing arts are the National Theatre, the National Ballet of Cuba, the House of the Americas, and the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry. The National Union of Cuban Writers and Artists has a large membership that promotes literature and the arts. In 1959 the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore was created within the Academy of Sciences of Cuba, with the aim of collecting and classifying the Cuban cultural heritage. It formed the National Folklore Group, which performs Afro-Cuban dances throughout Cuba and abroad and gives international folklore laboratories each year. The activities of the folklore group are complemented by the Institute of Literature and Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences. The revolutionary government has made a special effort to promote the study of the African roots of Cuban culture. The Guanabacoa and Regla museums are the main repositories of Afro-Cuban artifacts.
Music and dance are the heart and soul of Cuba, with many people visiting the island to experience and learn Cuban music and dance styles.
The African slaves who were taken to Cuba, introduced new rhythms and ritual dances These were incorporated into Cuban culture and blended with traditional Spanish melodies and guitars. As this fusion developed, new music styles and rhythms grew and spread such as the Danzón, the Rumba, the Habanera, Jazz, the Guaracha, the Bolero, the Conga, the Mambo, Cha Cha Cha and the Salsa The most popular type of music in Cuba is Son. The musical styles born in Cuba continue to be incredibly popular and influential across the world.
The Nueva Trova ("New Song") movement, has also had great influence across much of the Latin America. The Cuban folk anthem "Guantanamera," which derives from a nostalgic poem by José Martí, is frequently heard throughout Latin America, as are the popular love songs "Habanera Tú" and "Siboney." Composer-singers Pablo Milanés and Silvio Rodríguez, among the founders of the Nueva Trova movement, are acclaimed throughout Latin America for their lyric social criticism.
Festivals of Cuban music and song are held throughout the year, encompassing works of every genre from every period, including the internationally popular Afro-Cuban jazz. The worldwide success of the Buena Vista Social Club album (1997) and concert series, as well as the subsequent film documentary (1999), introduced listeners throughout the world to those genres and revived the careers of artists such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, and Omara Portuondo. Cuba also has a National Symphony Orchestra as well as chamber orchestras and instrumental ensembles.
Dance in Cuba was also influenced by ritual dances taken there by African slaves. Cuba is of course famous for the many dance styles that accompanied the rhythmic and musical styles developed on the island. Today, Salsa is extremely popular, with many people visiting Cuba taking Salsa lessons or going to Salsa clubs.
One of Cuba's foremost artistic figures is Alicia Alonso—a dancer of international acclaim, the prima ballerina and founder (1948) of the company that would become the National Ballet of Cuba, and the head of its school. The Ballet of Camagüey, under the direction of Fernando Alonso, was established in 1971, and a second Havana company was founded in the mid-1980s.
Besides classical ballet, there is the Modern Dance Company in Havana, the Tumba Francesa (a black folk group) in Santiago de Cuba, and dozens of smaller troupes.
Cuba has galleries, art museums, and community cultural centres that regularly display the works of Cuban painters. The most important (all in Havana) are the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Haydée Santamaría Gallery of the House of the Americas, the Gallery of Havana, and the Fortress Castle where Cuba's foremost contemporary artists - Wifredo Lam, René Portocarrero, Mariano Rodríguez, Servando Cabrera Moreno, Raúl Martínez - share space with younger artists. The Ministry of Culture provides most of the materials needed by artists and also guarantees jobs to graduates of the Higher Institute of Art. Painters in Cuba tend to work in many genres: they design fabrics (called by the trade name Telarte), sets for movies and theatre, and posters for films, books, cultural events, and community campaigns. Posters are one of Cuba's best-known cultural exports. The Ministry of Culture promotes numerous art exchanges and sends exhibits of Cuban art throughout the world. The government works to promote art from the countries of the developing world, primarily through the Havana Biennial, which started in 1984.
Cuban theatre has been state-supported since 1959, mostly under the direction of the Ministry of Culture. There are several national dramatic groups, such as the Studio Theatre, whose directing councils create their own repertoire. Provincial theatre groups are also well established. Cuban theatre reached a new maturity in the 1980s, producing plays focusing on contemporary social problems as well as developing efforts to integrate music and dance. The National Theatre has an excellent library, and House of the Americas (Casa de las Américas), an international cultural institution, sponsors regular encuentros (meetings) with theatre professionals. Increasingly, Cuban theatre troupes travel abroad as part of festivals and an active exchange program.
Cuban National Circus
With the revolution, a circus school was created that has graduated high-level professionals, recognized today throughout the world. Their rigor, quality and prestige have placed them in the most demanding international circuits. Ranked alongside some of the top performers, the National Circus of Cuba is considered one of the top five circus troupes in the world. More recently, it has been an active participant in Havana's XVII International Festival Circuba 2018, which unites artists from 19 countries.
World-Renowned Cuban Circus Celebrates 50 Years
Cuban filmmaking since 1959 has been supported by the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry, which has produced feature and documentary films. The institute also has an extensive film library, and its movie house, the Charles Chaplin Theatre, regularly shows the best of both world and Cuban cinema. The institute provides a variety of support services throughout the hemisphere and sponsors the prestigious annual International Festival of New Latin American Cinema. The Foundation for New Latin American Cinema was established in Havana under the direction of the Colombian writer and Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez. Long popular in Latin America, Cuban films have enjoyed wider international audiences since the 1990s, especially after the critical and commercial success of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío's film 'Fresa y Chocolate' (1994; Strawberry and Chocolate), which won the 1994 Berlin International Film Festival's Special Jury Prize and was nominated for an Academy Award as best foreign language film.

Cuban literature began to develop its own style in the early 19th century. The major works published in Cuba during that time dealt with issues of colonialism, slavery and the mixing of races in a creole society. Notable writers of this genre include Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, and Cirilo Villaverde, whose novel Cecilia Valdés was a landmark. Following the abolition of slavery in 1886, the focus of Cuban literature shifted to themes of independence and freedom as exemplified by José Martí, who led the modernista movement in Latin American literature. The poet Nicolás Guillén's famous Motivos del son focused on the interplay between races.
the works of the American writer Ernest Hemingway are deeply admired on the island, which was his home for many years and the setting for The Old Man and the Sea (1952) and Islands in the Stream (1970).
In Cuba books travel throughout the country
Testimonial Literature
Cuba is the birthplace of the literary genre that is called testimonial literature. In 1970 Cuba's literary forum Casa de las Américas recognized testimonial literature as an official literary genre. Miguel Barnet's literary texts were foundational in launching this new genre. Specifically Barnet's 1966 Biografía de un Cimarrón (Biography of a Runaway Slave), where he recorded the oral history of former slave Esteban Montejo, is used to place testimonial literature on the literary platform of Casa de las Américas.
Testimonial literature serves the revolutionary ideology in providing a voice for the people, specifically a group of people who were underrepresented and formerly oppressed prior to the Cuban Revolution. A testimonial text is significant because it uses a direct source: A person's account of current aspects in Latin American reality. Testimonial literature is then defined within the boundaries of autobiographical accounts, documentary narratives, eyewitness reports, and oral histories that are later transcribed into a literary format.
The cultural treasures of Cuba include the imposing buildings of the colonial era. The following towns have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO:
The historic town centre of Habana Vieja and the fort (Havana)
The old town of Trinidad (Sancti Spíritus)
The sugar factories around Trinidad (Sancti Spíritus)
The fortifications of San Pedro de la Roca del Morro (Santiago de Cuba)
The ruins of the French coffee plantations of La Gran Piedra (Santiago de Cuba)
The National Park "Desembarco del Granma"

Sports in Cuba are generally under the direction of the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation. The government provides opportunities for most Cubans to participate in sports and recreational programs. Baseball is the national sport and is widely played throughout the country, with leagues organized at national and provincial scales. Fidel Castro himself has been passionately attracted to the sport since his youth. Baseball was introduced to Cuba in the 19th century, and until 1959 the island provided the major league clubs of the United States with a constant supply of quality players. Cuban baseball teams have consistently captured gold medals in the Pan American Games and the Summer Olympic Games. The heavyweight boxer Teófilo Stevenson is representative of another field in which Cubans have consistently excelled. Boxing is extremely popular in Cuba, as is Football (Soccer).

RBK: We have great connections into Government
Following its launch in London, RBK wanted to engage British business and establish its reputation in the UK. We created a campaign which saw RBK strongly supported by UKTI (UK Trade & Investment) and covered in major business publications over a two-month period.
The Brief:
RBK is an online payment service that is a household name in Russia and parts of Eastern Europe. After setting up a London HQ to access new markets, RBK needed to establish itself as a trusted brand that was visible to British business. The primary target audience was UK companies who wished to (or were already) trading with Russia.
The Idea:
We utilised our connections and insight into Government to broker an introduction to the UKTI's Russian desk. UKTI is one of the most trusted and authoritative sources of advice to UK traders, and includes the UK's overseas embassies and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
We positioned RBK as the solution to UK companies wanting to trade with Russia, so helping the UK exploit this enormous market. Working with UKTI and the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS), we issued a press release to media presenting RBK as experts on trading with Russia and talking about RBK's inward investment. The release included a quote from UK Trade & Investment CEO, Nick Baird.
UKTI publicly advised all Russian traders that RBK is the solution to the most common barrier that UK merchants face when trading with Russia (payment and ensuring receipt) and informed UK government staff to advise traders to use RBK.
RBK was the headline story on the UKTI's own website and the story was positively covered in numerous leading media publications over a two month period, including the top title for retailers, Internet Retailing and FinExtra, the leading website for the finance industry.

Active Veggie is a Superveggie!
Animal Friends are celebrating four international days
Animal Friends this year is also organizing Animal Friends Days by which it wants to mark all the important dates regarding animal rights and vegetarianism and also the fifth year of the organization.
Friday, September 29, 2006 – the second time in a row a free concert with vegan tasting will be held in the Boogaloo Club (ex OTV, Vukovarska 68) starting at 8 P.M. The following bands will play: Nervousstand, Scroll, Dead by Mistake, Igut, and Hidden Layer.
Saturday, September 30, 2006 – On the corner of Varsavska ulica and Petar Preradovic Square, an information stall will be placed where the petition for a better vegetarian offer can be signed; by this petition all stores and chain stores are provoked to expand their vegetarian offer due to increased number of people that recognize the advantages of this type of diet.
Sunday, October 1, 2006 – on the World Vegetarian Day, in Maksimir Park, within the program that is organized by City's Committee for Agriculture and Forestry, members of organization at 12 noon will invite everybody to vegetarian food tasting. Also, for the youngest drawing and coloring of the animals will be organized. They will be awarded with healthy and tasty cookies made without eggs or cow milk.
Monday, October 2, 2006 – on the World Farm Animals Day, on Ban Jelacic Square at 12 noon, a provocative performance will be held, where "naked and bloody activists" will try to encourage people to think about billions of animals captivated on farms so they can be killed for human habit of meat-eating.
Tuesday, October 3, 2006 – on the World Lab Animals Day, on the corner of Varsavska ulica and Petar Preradovic Square at 12 noon, Animal Friends will be showing a video footage of animals tortured in laboratories and handing out so called "black and white list" of companies that do (not) test their products on animals.
Wednesday, October 4, 2006 – on the World Animal Protection Day, also in the City's Committee for Agriculture and Forestry program, on Ban Jelacic Square, Animal Friends will install a photo-exhibition on a six meter high iron construction. Photographs will be showing animals in their natural surroundings and artificial ones where they are molested and exposed to violent death by mankind.
During this six days program, Animal Friends members will be handing out postcards, along with all the other educational materials. We invite all those who are interested that they mark these four international days with us!

A Life's Work
Submitted into Contest #46 in response to: Write a story about an author who has just published a book.... view prompt
Katharine Tierney
The Oak Tree Pub is the type of bar that you picture when you hear a joke beginning "A horse walks into a bar..." A dusty little dive, where the neighborhood guys congregate after work for a quick beer on a hot afternoon before they go home to the wife and kids, and any time the Red Sox are playing. The decor is mid-century scavenged, the ambience just this side of grim. On this particular afternoon, Bill, the owner and principle bartender, has strung up the same battered Christmas lights and bent tinsel honeycomb bells that he has been hanging since he got them on clearance when Woolworths' closed. He's also wearing the sweater he bought at the same sale. Margie, his daughter, looks on, occasionally snapping her bubble gum and desultorily polishing the bar with butcher wax. A radio just under the TV plays Christmas oldies. The TV and the girl are the newest things in the bar, both added ten years ago in an effort to compete with the shiny new sports bar out on the highway. As Bill puts the stepladder away, Margie leaves off her polishing and begins filling the small wooden salad bowls with pretzels and peanuts. Neither speak as Theresa Brewer sings about dancing around the Christmas tree.
Bill glances at the clock. Ten to four. The first shift from the hospital will be coming in, followed by the factory workers. The eagle flies on every other Friday now, and this is an off week, but the regulars will soon be in. Most of the wives budget in the husband's Friday beer, those who don't have to put up with the sulking. They make sure hubby gets his ten spot the following week. Peace at any price, and the price of a couple of brews is cheap enough.
The door opens with a gust of frigid wind blowing the first customers into the room. Margie pastes on what passes for a smile and starts drawing draft Buds.
By four thirty the joint is passably full, and it's just getting loud. Not oh-no-Price-is-pitching- when-will-the-Sox-get-some-decent-PITCHING-for CRISSSAKES?!?! loud, but the high hum of slightly boozed up conversation between tired men looking forward to the weekend off.
The door opens again and a older man walks in. Bill recognizes him after a minute. Jake Roblewski, used to work at the factory as a maintenance guy. A plumber, he would do odd jobs in his off time, until his arthritis got him so bad. Now he's living off his pension until the Social Security kicks in. Quiet, pleasant guy. Utterly unremarkable. Even his own kids couldn't pick him out of a police line up.
He walks up to the bar with a funny look on his face. Bill gropes for the word. Exalted. That's it, exactly. Bill steps over, whispers to Margie to get another keg from the stock room. She sighs longsufferingly, rolls her eyes, but goes. Bill sighs himself, but in relief. The last time he saw a man with that same look in his eye was just after the war. The guy, a vet, came in, ordered a beer. After he finished it, he went into the john and ate his gun.
"Hi, Bill", Jake says.
"Hi yourself, Jake. Long time no see. How you doing?" Bill waits, cringing inwardly. He really doesn't want to clean up after another suicide. Took two weeks to get up all the blood out of the cracks in the floor tiles.
Jake gives Bill a slightly pixilated grin. He seems stunned.
"They bought it." He waits. Bill is confused.
"Bought what? You sell your old Toyota?" Jake shakes his head.
"Naww! Ha, nobody'd buy that old junker. Naw...my book. Doubleday bought my book!" He breaks into a happy grin.
Bill is still confused, but at least he figures Jake's just flipped out. Not planning to off himself sitting on the commode. Gradually, he gets the story.
Jake had been an aspiring writer, years ago. Apparently, he wasn't very good at it, but he kept plugging away all these years. In between his regular job, overtime and his side jobs, he wrote. Even after Marie walked out, leaving him with three little kids to look after, he wrote. Nights after putting them to bed, while he did a load of laundry, on his lunch break. He wrote. He put all three through two year college courses and his youngest, Anthony, most of the way through a teaching degree, pulling doubles when he could, extra work whenever he could squeeze it in. Scholarships did for the rest.
Even after his arthritis crippled his knees, and started in on his hands, Jake kept writing. After forty years it finally paid off.
As Jake relays his story, the chatter in the Oak Tree gets quieter, and quieter still, until his light tenor voice is all you can hear.
"And so I submitted my manuscript to Doubleday, and I get a letter today. I figure that it's just another rejection slip, but it's a check! For eight thousand dollars! A fortune! Wait'll I tell the kids!"
The nondescript man, in his grey jacket and faded work pants, is alight with joy. Blazing with it.
The Oak Tree crowd slowly fills with something unfamiliar to most of these tired men and the few women present. A warm feeling. A feeling of pride in one of their own "making good". And with that pride, a sense of hope, that just maybe tomorrow or next month or a year from now, things might be a little better than today.
After a few rounds of celebratory drinks, Jake goes home to telephone his kids and the rest of the crowd slowly thins out as people go home to tell the amazing news.
Later, Bill and Margie are cleaning up. Bill looks around as Margie puts away the mop and bucket. She shrugs into her coat and stands next to the door, waiting.
"Dad. Dad? Are you ok?" Bill is still looking around at the bar, and Margie is beginning to get a little worried. Bill turns and smiles at his daughter as he puts on his own jacket.
"Y'know baby, I was just looking at these decorations. I think it's time we got some new ones, don't you? And maybe spruce up the place a little, new coat of paint or something. Whad'ya think, kiddo? You wanna be in charge of the decorating? After all, this place is gonna be yours someday."
Margie feels a smile creep softly, slowly over her face.
"I'd like that a lot Dad. We can go over the figures tomorrow, if that's good?" Bill nods.
"Yeah, that sounds just about perfect." They exit, locking the door behind them.
"Hey Marg. You wanna stop at Angelo's and get a pizza on the way home?"
"Yeah, Dad. That'd be great. I was just thinking, we should get new booths. The old ones are really beat."
"Oh baby, that's a lot of money. How about recovering the old ones?"
"Daaad! It's gonna cost just as much if not more. Listen, I gotta price quote on six new booths..."
And the snow falls softly on the street, and on the cars, and on the man and woman walking up the cold street, joyfully arguing about upholstery.
And it falls on the roof of the run-down duplex, where a quiet, gray man speaks into a telephone to his daughter, who begins to weep with joy for her father's life's reward.

THEORY OF A DEADMAN SHARE POWERFUL SINGLE + VIDEO ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Multi-platinum band Theory Of A Deadman has announced the release of their seventh studio album, Say Nothing, out January 31st via Atlantic Records. Lead single "History Of Violence" – which turns the tables on a story of domestic violence – is out now along with the gripping music video.
Directed by Sam Sulam, the visual for "History Of Violence" illustrates a searing snapshot of a woman enduring an abusive husband as she plans to fight back, eventually ending up in jail but free of her abuser.
"'History of Violence' tells the sad story of a girl trapped in a life of domestic abuse, leaving her with what she feels is the only way to escape. Even though she's in jail, it's still a better place to be than being imprisoned in real life by this man. We're encouraging anyone affected by domestic violence to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline for help: 1-800-799-7233."
On Say Nothing, THEORY — Tyler Connolly (lead vocals, guitar), Dave Brenner (guitar, backing vocals), Dean Back (bass), and Joey Dandeneau (drums) — is speaking up through undeniable anthems rooted in scorching songcraft, experimental vision, rock 'n' roll attitude, and clever pop ambition.
Recorded in London with producer Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Yungblud), the album features timely lyrical commentary on many issues that our society is grappling with today. Domestic violence, racism, the divisiveness in American politics and more are explored on the 10-track album, which finds THEORY's finger on the pulse of the current climate threaded together with a message that's both a cautionary warning and a hopeful wish for our collective future.

Let's All Take a Minute to Look at Patti Hansen, 1970s Vogue's Ultimate Cool Blonde
Photography by Arthur Elgort, Vogue, January 1, 1976
Model, Patti Hansen, wearing a one-piece bathing suit in white jersey by Calvin Klein *** Local Caption *** Patti Hansen;
Models come and go, but every now and then one sticks around long enough to define an era. With her pristine features and glitzy choice of paramours, Patti Hansen was the face of cool, classic beauty in the 1970s. Appearing frequently on the cover of Vogue and within its pages, Hansen embodied elegance and sensuality in equal measure. Catching the eye of boundary-pushing photographers like Helmut Newton, Francesco Scavullo, and Arthur Elgort, Hansen worked consistently through the decade—not bad for a girl from Staten Island. More than simply being a beauty and a photographer favorite, Hansen became known for her unflappable attitude and air of nonchalance. Dubbed the "ultimate cool girl" by Michael Kors, as a style icon and muse, Hansen has more than stood the test of time.
As half of one of rock's legendary couples, Hansen and her husband of 30 years, Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, have set the standard for rock star–model pairings. With their daughters, Theodora and Alexandra, plus Keith's granddaughter Ella, all successful models, the next generation already has a foothold in fashion, but nothing compares to the original. Time for a #TBT: Check out Patti Hansen's very best moments in the pages of Vogue.

A.P. Court rejects bar set by M.C.I. for admission to M.B.B.S. under disability quota
D.N.I.S. News Network� In a landmark judgement, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed N.T.R. University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, to accept applicants with 40% disability for allotments of seats for M.B.B.S. courses in accordance with provisions of Persons with Disability Act, 1995.
The judgement ends confusion perpetrated by the Medical Council of India (M.C.I) that had arbitrarily fixed requirement of 50 to 70 per cent disability for allotting seats to candidates.
The Order dated 20 July, was issued while hearing a petition by K. Mounesh who has applied for counselling to get admission in to M.B.B.S. course under N.T.R. University of Health Sciences under physically handicapped category. But to his shock, he discovered from the prospectus that persons with locomotor disability between 50 to 70 per cent are only eligible under physically handicapped category.
Mounesh had also filed a petition with the Office of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disability for justice and against this discriminatory clause. Deputy-Commissioner T.D. Dhariyal then issued a letter advising N.T.R. University and other universities not to deprive persons with disabilities between 40 to 49 per cent from consideration for admission against 3 per cent quota of seats, as the same is against the statutory provisions of Persons with Disability Act, 1995.

The Aquidneck Island National Police Parade commemorates National Police Week and is dedicated to police officers killed in the line of duty. One of only a handful of police parades held outside of Washington D.C., this popular event draws a large crowd of police officers, their friends, families, and fans from all over the US, Canada, and the Bahamas. Close to 70,000 are expected to attend!
The parade isn't exactly small, either, with over 4,000 law enforcement participants marching each year. Attendees can expect to see upwards of 180 units representing over 50 police departments from as far away as Illinois, elite forces, like the US Marine Corp 8th & I Marching Unit assigned to the President of the United States, and friendly, foreign contingents, like the Canadian Royal Mounted Police.
Marching bands are another great reason to attend the Aquidneck Island National Police Parade. Highlights include such legendary and energetic crowd pleasers as The Philadelphia Mummers, The New York City Emerald Society Bagpipe Band, and The NYPD Marching Band, to name but a few already scheduled to appear.
8pm – Rockin' Rodeo Round Up at The Dockside – bagpipes, drum lines, police bands, and a mechanical bull riding contest.
The parade starts off from 317 West Main Road, Middletown. From there it runs down Broadway, towards Newport, until it reaches Washington Square.
With that many expected attendees, you know area lodging is going to be at a premium well before the day of the Aquidneck Island National Police Parade arrives. If you plan to be here, we suggest you act now before all the best lodging fills up. The best, of course, being Newport bed and breakfast inns. Newport County B&B's are a step-up in accommodation quality from your typical hotel or motel with plush amenities, delicious breakfasts, and an insider's knowledge of the local area. Give yourself the gift of true hospitality with a stay at Newport County Bed and Breakfast Inns!

EstimateS is a free software application for Windows and Macintosh operating systems that computes a variety of biodiversity statistics, estimators, and indices based on biotic sampling data. Some features require species relative abundance data, others only species presence/absence data. A comprehensive User's Guide is available online at this site.
Computes expected species accumulation curves for rarefied reference samples (both sample-based rarefaction curves and individual-based rarefaction curves, in the terminology of Gotelli & Colwell 2001, 2011), with 95% unconditional confidence intervals, using the analytical formulas of Colwell et al. (2004) and Colwell et al. (2012).
Computes expected species accumulation curves for augmented reference samples (both sample-based extrapolation curves and individual-based extrapolation curves), with 95% unconditional confidence intervals, using the analytical formulas of Colwell et al. (2012).
Computes non-parametric, asymptotic species richness estimators for abundance-based data (Chao 1 and ACE) and for incidence-based data (Chao2, ICE, first and second order Jackknives, and Bootstrap).
For Chao1 and Chao 2, computes log-linear confidence intervals.
Computes Shannon (both H and e^H) and inverse Simpson (Hill numbers 1 and 2), and Fisher's alpha diversity indices.
All estimators and indices are computed for rarefied samples or individuals to reduce the bias of comparisons.
Computes Chao's estimator of total shared species (including observed and unseen shared species) for sample pairs.
Computes Chao's abundance-based Sørensen and Jaccard similarity indices, with statisically rigorous estimators and their standard errors, for sample pairs based on abundance or on replicated incidence (presence-absence) data sets.
Computes Morisita-Horn and Bray-Curtis (= "Sørensen quantitative") similarity indices for sample pairs based on abundance data sets.
For input, accepts tab-delimited, plain text files (produced by programs such as Excel, using "Save As Tab-delimited Text"), in either of two matrix formats (species-by-sample or , sample-by-species) or either of two "triplet" formats ([species index, sample index, value]; or [sample index, species index, value]).
For input, accepts pre-formatted sample-by-species matrices exported by Biota: The Biodiversity Database Manager.
Exports all results as tab-delimited text files, easily opened in Excel, statistical, or graphing applications.
As an option, records and exports results from n individual randomizations to a text file, allowing computation of precision, accuracy, and other analyses (Walther and Moore 2005), using Excel or other applications.

Elon Musk's The Boring Company will handle the Hyperloop project – TechCrunch
Elon Musk said Sunday via Twitter that his urban transportation tunneling business, The Boring Company, will attempt to build a high-speed — and still theoretical — hyperloop in the next few years.
In 2013, Musk published a white paper outlining the idea of a transportation system that could send passengers and cargo in capsules through a low-pressure tube at an access speed of 700 miles per hour. He never took over the project. Instead, Musk shared basic engineering plans and encouraged others to develop the concept. While various companies and researchers have been steadily working on Hyperloop for nearly a decade, there is still no working example of the system anywhere in the world.
Musk founded The Boring Company in December 2016 on the premise that finding quick and effective ways to dig tunnel networks for high-speed vehicles and trains would end traffic congestion. The Boring Company has gotten some city contracts, but nothing that uses hyperloop or high-speed transportation. His most mature project in Las Vegas uses Tesla vehicles to transport people along a 1.7-mile section of underground tunnels at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Last year, the company received initial approval for a special use permit and franchise agreement that will allow the Boring Company to expand its Vegas Loop system to a 29-mile route with 51 stations that would include stops at casinos along the Strip. of Las Vegas, the city's football stadium and UNLV. It would eventually arrive at McCarran International Airport.
Musk's Sunday tweet, in which he was responding to another tweet that listed the cities with the worst traffic in the world, comes less than a week after The Boring Company raised $675 million in a Series funding round. C which raised its valuation to $5.7 billion.
Cities with the worst traffic in the world:
1. London 🇬🇧
2. Paris 🇫🇷
3. Brussels 🇧🇪
4. Moscow 🇷🇺
5. New York City 🇺🇸
6. Chicago 🇺🇸
7. Rome 🇮🇹
8. Bogota 🇨🇴
9. Palermo 🇮🇹
10. Istanbul 🇹🇷
— The world of statistics (@stats_feed) April 24, 2022
In the next few years, Boring Co will try to build a working Hyperloop.
From the standpoint of known physics, this is the fastest possible way to get from one city center to another for distances less than ~2000 miles. Starship is faster for longer trips.
He also stated that the Hyperloop, like other underground tunnels, will also be immune to surface weather conditions such as hurricanes. However, there is well-documented evidence of subterraneans, which are located in subterranean, flooded tunnels. For example, the New York subway was flooded in 2012 when Hurricane Sandy hit the coast. Since then, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has installed gates at 68 low-rise subway and Trans-Hudson Port Authority stations in Lower Manhattan.
Underground tunnels are immune to surface weather conditions (undergrounds being a good example), so Hyperloop wouldn't mind if a hurricane hit the surface. You wouldn't even notice.

Bluegrass Pundit: How did Kentucky get to those Obamacare numbers Reid taunted McConnell with?
How did Kentucky get to those Obamacare numbers Reid taunted McConnell with?
We have already determined 80% of Kentucky's sign-ups were for free Medicaid. Democrats in Kentucky helped that number by signing up inmates as they were releasing them.
After three months in jail on a theft charge, Vincent Garcia had prepared last week to collect his wallet and keys and turn in his orange scrubs upon release.
But the 26-year-old will leave jail with something else — free health insurance.
Louisville Metro Department of Corrections last week began holding daily sign-ups for exiting inmates, and Garcia was among those qualifying for the newly expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
