I went to the Yankee game on Tuesday (we realized we had a pair of tickets to the game 20 minutes before it started) and decided to try out the Garlic fries.
Whoa!! These guys are intense! Now I am a garlic lover so when I saw all that luscious chopped up goodness on top I was psyched. I chowed down on some fresh off the top and was quite a happy camper. Then somewhere around bite number four or so the strong taste began to get to me. I started to feel little overwhelmed with the flavor so I dug down below to find some that were plain.
That's when I realized- there were no plain!! The entire box was uniformly covered in garlic from head to toe. I was a little shocked and both Mr. T and I could not see eating this whole on its' own. So we decided to do what any food loving couple would do.
We went over to Lobels and ordered one of their Steak sandwiches so we could enjoy the garlic flavor with something a little more substantial. It ended up being awesome.
Ahhh Mercadito Grove….Remember this place? The one with fantastic fish tacos but surley and unprofessional service?
Well I retuned against my better judgment the other day. I had been craving fish tacos and we were meeting friends later at Blind Tiger. It just made sense since they were nearby.
So Saturday afternoon we walked down to 7th Avenue South for brunch. The hot humid weather gave way to a sun shower and by the time we arrived we were both quite soaked. We got a seat at the front table and drank in the air conditioning above. Even though it had rained we were still sweating from the thick humid air.
I knew I wanted fish tacos and Mercadito has a $15 brunch special that includes the tacos and a drink. Mr. T got an orange juice and I went for a mimosa. The waiter asked me if I wanted any fruit flavor added to my drink. I wasn't sure what he meant by that but I decided to go with Strawberry.
My drink came and there were pieces of strawberry floating on the top.
Blind Tiger had a ton of Sly Fox beers on tap last weekend and a couple really stood out. One in particular was the Sly Fox Incubus.
This is a Belgain style Tripel that poured with a fair amount of head and a bready sweet aroma. Since this beer weighs in at 10.3% alcohol, I couldn't believe how drinkable it was! It had a very sweet taste, almost like honey that was rounded out by a slight spicy kick on the finish. A very nice beer I would get again.
Unfortunately the other two Sly Fox beers I had were not very good at all. The Oktoberfest had a strong skunky taste to it and the Sly Fox Grisette was just plain weird. It poured slightly darker than a glass of pineapple juice and had almost no beer flavor. Everyone at the table tried it and not one person thought it tasted good. It is possible however,. that all the strong beers before trying this might have damaged our palettes a little. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
We stopped in for a quick drink Friday night at the new Russian spot Mari Vanna. I had been pretty devastated when the Silver Swan closed down and this prime real estate across from Gramercy Tavern sat empty. Luckily they kept some of the charm of the Silver Swan but gave it quite the makeover.
The inside reminds me of going to visit an old and wealthy relative who has never changed the decor. From the garden out front to the white linen tablecloths and antique cutlery, I definitely did not feel like I was in New York City anymore.
Apparently you are supposed to be buzzed inside just like a residence as well. However the warm weather called for open doors, so we just breezed right in and took a seat at the bar.
I asked to see the drink list and I was struck by how many different kinds of beer they had listed. I've had all of the Baltica's before (and loved them) but I had never had any of the Obolon's.
Saturday we spent with friends touring around the city from Sardi's in the Theater District all the way down to the NYU part of town on MacDougal Street. We tried to pretend like we were in college again and played some beer pong at Off the Wagon. You know what I discovered? I am NOT in college anymore and I can not drink that much. So after 2 short games I was a little tipsy and ready for some serious food.
We walked outside to get a cab over to the East Village when I remembered Minetta Tavern was right next door.
I've tried to get into Minetta Tavern a bunch of times now. Every time we walk by I stop in and ask if there's a table and I've called for a reservation at least 4 or 5 times as well. Every time my request is answered by the same response- "We have an 11:30 available".
Okay I don't know about you but I'm thinking about sleepy time around 11:30 not a big meaty dinner.
Our old college friends were visiting this past weekend and we had basically a non-stop party. They got in late Thursday night and we went out for Thai food in our neighborhood. Friday we awoke and felt like the same type of food! So we ended up at Sea Thai in the meatpacking where we proceeded to walk the Highline.
The true reason for the friends visit, besides to see us, was to go watch a Mets game.
Yes, my friends are Mets fans and that's okay!
So we headed to Citifield for the first time this year. I love baseball but I was mostly excited about the food this time since the Mets aren't exactly doing so well.
We got to the stadium and after about the third inning we headed over to Centerfield where all the fancy concessions stands are- Blue Smoke, Shake Shack, Box Frites, etc.
Sunday afternoon I was having a serious craving for some Chinese food. I wanted to go somewhere a little nicer than our usual Chinatown joints since I was still in a celebratory mood. Luckily Chinatown Brasserie fits that bill exactly. We've eaten there 3 or 4 times before and always had a good meal even if it was a lot more expensive than Chinatown. Sometimes you pay for the atmosphere.
Another good reason to head here is for their drinks! We got seated at a nice table outside and I ordered a Bellini Martini.
Now I had just had a fantastic regular Bellini the day before at Onda so maybe I was expecting something just as good but this cocktail kind of fell flat. It was strong, that's for sure. I could really taste the vodka and peach but it had no balance. It was like drinking sugar flavored alcohol water, not a cocktail. For $10 I want a cocktail.
Chinatown brasserie was doing its' restaurant week menu but we decided to go a la carte. Mr. T ordered a Won Ton soup to start.
Return to Pearl Oyster Bar and A Big Surprise!
So after our wonderful brunch at Onda on Saturday we spent the afternoon walking around the Seaport and enjoying the weather. We checked out the newly opened Water Taxi Beach. It's kind of neat but kind of weird with people hanging out in bikini's left and right. I mean it is a fake beach but it's right near Wall Street right?
Then it was time for the Yankees to play the Red Sox so we hopped in a cab and headed to the Blind Tiger to watch the game and enjoy some good beers.
Now the plan had been to go to Blind Tiger and then run over to Pearl Oyster Bar at some point to put our name on the list. So about 6:45 I decided to check it out. I didn't see any line while I was walking but I was still nervous. Pearl is ALWAYS packed.
After spending a ridiculously long time at Yankee stadium Friday night watching the 15 inning game, we awoke to a beautiful Saturday morning with absolutely nothing to do.
It was such a sunny day we decided to head down to the Seaport and walk around a little and find a brunch place. We walked off the main drag on Front Street and stumbled upon Onda- a new Latin place. It looked kind of interesting and there was a nice table outside that was available so we stopped in.
They had a special going that day for $4.00 Mimosas, Bloody Mary's and Bellini's. I can't turn that offer down so I ordered a very nice and refreshing Strawberry Bellini.
Look at that color! They used fresh strawberry puree and it really made the cocktail wonderful. I could have drank about 10 of these things!
It was Mr. T's birthday this past week and we celebrated by having three nights of good food and drinks.
Thursday night we I took him out to his favorite Japanese place in the city- Sushi Yasuda. We sat at the counter right in front of Yasuda himself and enjoyed piece after piece of utterly delicious sushi. I swear there is no better fish in the city and Yasuda's laugh alone is reason enough to go!
Friday we braved the rain storms and made our way to Radegast in Brooklyn to celebrate with friends. If you know anything about me it's that I love, love, love German beer and beer halls. Radegast is huge compared to my favorite Zum Scheinder and has a ton of fantastic beers.
The last meal of Mr. Pruner's visit and he still hadn't had a burger. The one thing he said he really wanted to get on this trip was a good burger and I hadn't produced yet.
I was planning to take him to Prune for their English Muffin bonanza of beef on Thursday, but his plane was delayed and we lost our reservation.
Now it was Saturday night and I wasn't sure what to do. Our three person group had grown to seven and everyone was looking to toss back some beers and chill out.
It was such a nice day the Stoned Crow seemed too underground, PJ Clark's too far away, Shake Shack way too long a line. Then I thought of Royale, one of my favorite bars to grab a great burger and sit outside with some beers.
We hopped in a cab and headed to Royale only to find out they were closed for a private party.
Drat. We had taken a cab all the way down to Alphabet City and our only burger and beer idea was shot.
Saturday morning I awoke with the hugest craving for bacon and eggs I've ever had in my life. Sometimes I get carvings like this and they won't go away until the need is met. I actually start to feel a little crazy if it lasts too long.
Anyway- I anxiously awaited the arrival of my other friend and once she got in the city we headed to PS 450 for some brunch.
PS 450 is basically a bar but I heard it had some good brunch specials so I thought we'd try it out. I would love to find a brunch place where I can get some good food and be able to watch some sports on TV.
Walking into PS 450 one of my requirements was met immediately- two plasma TV's right above the bar. Perfect.
Once we were seated they brought us over a nice little basket of baked goods to start.
Mini muffins, cornbread and biscuits were accompanied by two different jams and some butter.
The biscuits were a little dry but the mini cornbread and muffins really hit the spot. I love it when brunch starts with some free pastries!

Sex-selective abortions?
Published:Sunday | March 7, 2010 | 12:00 AM
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP): An Oklahoma statute barring the termination of a pregnancy based on the gender of the fetus was deemed unconstitutional recently by a judge who said the law violated the state's rule that legislation address a single subject.
"When you look at the underlying purpose of the statute - for the prevention of abortion for the sole purpose of the sexual status of the child - that takes up two paragraphs of this bill," said Oklahoma County District Judge Daniel Owens. "When you look at the rest, there are multiple subjects contained in this bill that are not related to that underlying purpose."
The measure passed the Oklahoma Legislature and was signed into law by Gov Brad Henry last year.
Owens added that it was "pretty discouraging" that a law had to be considered to prevent sex-selective abortions.
"But the issue before the court has nothing to do with pro-choice or pro-life," Owens said.
Aside from barring gender-based termination of pregnancies, the law would have required doctors who perform abortions to provide information about female patients, including age, race, marital status, number of previous pregnancies and the reasons given for seeking an abortion.
The information gathered from 37 separate sections of questions would then be provided to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, which would be required to produce an annual report on abortions performed in Oklahoma.
temporary restraining order
The law was scheduled to take effect November 1, but a judge granted a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the statute until the legal challenge could be resolved.
Special Assistant Attorney General Teresa Collett, who defended the law on behalf of the state, said she would have to consult with regulatory bodies named as defendants in the lawsuit before deciding whether to appeal Owens' ruling.
"We're disappointed that any court would interpret the state constitution as a barrier to aborting a child because of the sex," Collett said. "We find it remarkable, certainly nothing that the pioneers would have anticipated as they wrote our constitution."
Plaintiff Lora Joyce Davis said she was delighted with the ruling.
"I am disappointed to hear all this rhetoric about gender and sex-selective abortions," said Davis, of Shawnee. "That's the most ridiculous and insulting thing to say to Oklahoma voters. The purpose is publicity, I think, to drum up emotions about a very private issue."
Davis was represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York, which also successfully challenged a 2008 abortion law on the grounds it violated the constitution's single-subject rule. The state attorney general's office has appealed that ruling to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Rep Dan Sullivan, R-Tulsa, author of the House bill ruled on Friday, couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
But Tony Lauinger, state chairman of Oklahomans for Life, argued that the entire bill deals with abortion.
"It was all the same subject and we are disappointed with the conclusion that was reached," Lauinger said.

Young graduate Ruth Gilmartin is shocked when her mother Sally reveals details of her early life as Russian emigre Eva Delectorskaya, recruited by the British Secret Service during the Second World War. Although nearly 40 years have elapsed since then, the former agent believes that missions undertaken during the conflict on behalf of her spymaster - and lover - Lucas Romer have served to place her life in danger.
Eva's 1941 mission to the US, where she seduced a Washington DC official attached to President Roosevelt's office before surviving an attempt on her life in New Mexico, could hold the key to her present difficulties. Ruth poses as a journalist to meet Lord Romer, and although his suspicions are aroused, he appears unaware when Eva follows him to his Chelsea house.

Raul Riesgo, a member of Grow Elect, will be talking about public speaking and community organizing with the goal of electing Ceci Iglesias and Angie Cano to the SAUSD School Board in the November Primary Election.
Iglesias currently serves on the SAUSD School Board and is running for reelection. Cano is an SAUSD grad who got a degree at UCI and has come back to serve the people of Santa Ana.
GROW Elect has a record of helping win tough elections and our efforts have been endorsed by numerous national and state Republican leaders including former Secretary of StateCondoleezza Rice, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, former Governor Mitt Romney, former Governor Jeb Bush, Senator Marco Rubio, California Senate Republican LeaderBob Huff, and Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway, among many others.
The Latino Republicans we have helped elect are making a real difference in their communities fighting for Republican principles of fiscal responsibility, economic growth and job creation, education reform, and government transparency. Some of our elected officials have been on the frontlines of cleaning up city governments known for their corruption and fiscal mismanagement.
What's more, a number of the Latino Republicans we have helped elect constitute a Farm Team of future GOP candidates for higher office who reflect the diversity of California and can take the Republican message of opportunity to every neighborhood in our state.
GROW Elect is committed to empowering the Latino community within both the Republican Party and in the halls of local and state government. We believe political competition within the Latino community leads to more effective and honest government and more accountability for elected officials.
We are also working to rebuild the Republican Party and modernize it to compete throughout California so that all voters have a real choice when they cast their ballots.

2020 Renovation & Construction Showcase: Christine E. Lynn University Center, Lynn University
January 21, 2020 Facilities Management, Feature, Renovation and Construction
Christine E. Lynn University Center
Lynn University | Tampa, Florida
Submitted by: Alyssa Valleau, Public Relations Specialist
Campus type: Four-year, private
Full-time enrollment: 3,247
Project broke ground: September 2017
Project completed: February 2019
Total area: 65,000 sq. ft.
Architects: Gensler – Tampa, Florida
Lynn University's campus master plan, crafted in 2009, called for a lively center of campus, and the Lynn University Center created exactly that. The new 65,000-square-foot building, for which construction began in 2017, was designed with the student in mind. It provides social, academic, and dining facilities all in one central facility, while also transforming the way work and collaboration is done at Lynn.
With staff steps away from campus organizations, students are literally guided toward student involvement and leadership opportunities while the new spaces motivate students and community members to create entertainment programs. A new amphitheater in the building's adjacent park inspires faculty members to hold outdoor classes, while the interior design offers convenient services—students and staff have 24/7 accessibility to the Perper Mailroom and the Schmidt Family Campus Store. Additionally, Mary's Kitchen offers robust, all-day, everyday dining menus, along with themed events at least once per month. Food stations provide everything from farm-fresh local and vegan options to pizza and flatbread, salads, grilled food, deli sandwiches, and comfort food.
The University Center made an impact on the local area as well. The Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, Florida Independent Colleges and Universities Risk Management Association, Bank United, and other businesses now host events on the university center's third floor.
Anticipated to be Lynn's third LEED certified building, the center was built with U.S. Green Building Council's sustainability rating system in mind. Over 75% of construction waste was recycled; more than a quarter of building materials were made from recycled content; more than half of the wood used was harvested from a responsibly managed forest; and it incorporates water and energy efficiencies. The university center's sleek design promotes both sustainability and functionality. A covered front porch, which takes the form of a series of expressed frames along the east façade, creates useable, shaded, outdoor spaces while minimizing solar heat gain on the eastern interior. This frame responds to the interior program, constructing views both in and out of the building.
The exterior building envelope takes cues from existing structures and regional materials to connect with the campus context. It uses transparency to display the dynamic activity inside the university center to the surrounding campus. The interior of the university center promotes student engagement with peers, faculty, and staff. The ground floor acts as an extension of the surrounding campus, inviting students to socialize in the 24-hour dining hall and common areas. Dining acts as an anchor that pulls visitors in to support the offices for career and alumni connections, the Center for Learning Abroad, Center for Student Involvement, and the Division of Student Affairs. The third floor houses the Social Impact Lab, where the mostly open floorplan attracts changemakers from the campus and community. Transparency and blended spaces encourage students to find their own place while supporting each other in a home away from home.


Being a hospitalized patient is perhaps one of the most disempowering experiences an individual can face (besides being in war or a prisoner). Patients face constant uncertainty; having no idea what time their physician will visit, when they will be taken for their tests, or who will suddenly interrupt them again with a demand – perhaps an early morning blood draw, or yet another round of interrogation and uncomfortable examination (by students, trainees, and consultants).
One would imagine that hospitals would feel like safe havens with good-hearted nurses, physicians and other health care professionals nurturing patients and ensuring their every need is met. One would imagine that, however – despite marketing claims by hospitals – the reality is a lot more complicated. Despite million-dollar lobby makeovers and smiling faces of hospital staff on billboards, many times patients don't feel like enough attention is paid. In many instances patients are correct.
The simple truth is that there is a pervasive profits-over-patients ethos in modern medicine that contributes to suboptimal patient care regardless of institution. Health care professionals constantly find themselves overworked and understaffed, and their employers seem to get away with this because despite healthcare being a heavily regulated industry – there is no oversight of the moment-to-moment management of patients.
After taking a certain number of steps to mitigate medical errors, here is what I recommend to all hospitalized patients: Try to have a patient advocate at your bedside as often as possible. It can be your partner, a family member, or a close friend. After working across a dozen hospitals, I've noticed that patients who have someone with them seem to get better care than vulnerable patients who are alone. The reasons for this based on my observations are as follows.
As a patient you may not only be ill; but also sleep-deprived, irritable, and perhaps even a little bit confused due to medication effects. Unless you're constantly scribbling down questions and then dutifully pulling out a sheet of paper to present to your healthcare team – you're bound to forgot to ask all your questions. The questions I suggest every patient ask daily are a) What are the alternatives to what you're recommending?; b) What is the diagnostic and treatment plan for today?; c) What is my discharge plan, and can I complete this treatment at rehab or at home?
I've lost track of the number of occasions that family members have been able to provide invaluable collateral information. Often pharmacies are closed in the middle of the night and primary care offices unreachable, but an organized family member can save the day with an accurate medication list and medical history. On other occasions, loved ones have pointed out medication allergies, subtle changes in mental status or the neurological exam that the team didn't notice, and sometimes have even prevented medical errors outright.
Typically as a hospitalist, I am in charge of 16-20 patients. If each patient takes me on average 25-35 minutes to examine, review diagnostic tests, and update the family, then essentially that means my last patient is seen about 7-11 hours after the first. Many days I don't have time to cycle back and see earlier patients again because there are inevitable emergencies, new admissions and discharges to take care of. If, however, a family member arrives with concerns, I take the time to go back and discuss matters with them and the patient. Of course I also go back if called by a nurse or patient themselves if there is ever a need to re-evaluate the patient, but engaged families provide another opportunity to connect the dots that are so often missed in patient care.

Relative of Sandy Hook Victim: Carson is 'Morally Bankrupt'
The relative of a Sandy Hook victim voiced her outrage over comments made by Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson after the Oregon shooting.
Erica Lafferty's mother, Dawn Hochsprung, was the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary and was shot and killed during the shooting. Lafferty spoke out after Carson said that kindergarten teachers should carry weapons in the classroom.
"Ben Carson's comments are insensitive to anyone who has ever been personally affected by gun violence," Lafferty said in a statement emailed to the Guardian. "Are gun extremists in this country so morally bankrupt that their solution to ending school shootings is asking kindergarten teachers to be trained in how to attack a gunman?"
"My mother was an elementary school principal, not a marine who signed up to be on the frontlines of a shootout," she added.
Carson has made a number of controversial comments in the last two week: he said teachers should carry guns, would rally a classroom to stop a mass shooter, and defended leaving a sponge on a woman's brain during surgery.

At Survival Straps, we respect and acknowledge the enormous sacrifices made by our military men and women. Many of these service members return home from war with both physical and mental injuries including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, or combat stress. We're proud to support an organization that is committed to honoring and empowering this generation of wounded service members and help them successfully adjust back to life at home.
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) began 10 years ago when several veterans and friends, moved by the stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, took action to help others in need. Today, WWP serves tens of thousands of wounded servicemen and women and families with programs and services providing engagement opportunities, physical and mental health support, and economic empowerment.
In recognition of the 10-year anniversary of WWP, Survival Straps® is honored to further the mission with custom WWP Survival Straps products and a commemorative 10-year bracelet and key fob.
To get involved and learn more about WWP and their decade of service and lifetime commitment to injured service members and their families, please visit WWP10.org.

Recently, a Survival Straps® customer shared this photo he took at a hardware store of a bracelet that closely resembles our Survival Bracelets™.
As you can see, he was irritated at the disclaimer the company is forced to include on their products. The post brings to light three main ways in which Survival Straps differs: 1) the quality and integrity of materials used 2) our unique company guarantee and 3) our resolve to remain an American-based manufacturing company. We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to explain what Survival Straps is all about and expand upon what makes us the leading paracord accessory company in the world.
First, we strive to produce the highest quality paracord products in today's market. Survival Straps is the home of the original Survival Bracelet, using authentic, military grade, type III 550# parachute cord. The cord is woven together from an elastic nylon rope, and "type III" denotes that the rope has a breaking point of up to 550 pounds and can withstand an incredible amount of weight and pressure. You can see why the rope evolved exponentially from its first application as parachute rigging and why it is so highly regarded by military, outdoor enthusiasts and civilians today.
This particular bracelet in the photograph and many other imitation bracelets are made with commercial grade cord most commonly manufactured and sold overseas that has little to no load-bearing capabilities. They might be woven together to resemble a survival bracelet but will not go far in actually assisting in any true survival situation. As per the disclaimer, they are little more than an item meant to be worn as a fashion accessory. With over 50,000 color combinations, countless customization features and a plethora of officially licensed collections, Survival Straps is proud to boast both fashion and practicality.
Survival Straps also differs in another critical point of view: not only do we encourage you to unravel your gear and use it, but we'll actually replace it for you! All we ask is for you to share with us your story, pictures, and $5 for shipping. We'll take care of the rest and get you set up with brand new gear ready for your next adventure. That's our guarantee.
Lastly, unlike these novelty accessories, Survival Straps gear is handmade in the USA. Our headquarters and manufacturing facilities are located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Survival Straps is family-owned business operated by local residents passionate about upholding the commitment to our brand and country. We unequivocally support our nation and the men and women who fight for our freedom by giving back to various charitable organizations who provide invaluable services to our military and veterans. To date, Survival Straps has donated $856,000 to these worthy causes. We hope to top this number even further in the future.
We hope that his post has cleared up some of your questions and further solidified your trust in our company. Visit our website at http://www.survivalstraps.com, and don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for the latest Survival Straps updates and news. As always, thank you for your support!
It was a beautiful day, and we were ready!
We made sure to keep everyone hydrated!
It was quite a group!
Here at Survival Straps, we're passionate about supporting the men and women who serve, past and present, our country and have sacrificed so much. We truly appreciate everything they have done and continue to do for our freedom. To check out more ways we support our troops and country, check out our "Support Our Troops" collection here.

Letnie Grand Prix w skokach narciarskich w Hinterzarten – zawody rozgrywane w latach 1994–2013, 2015–2019 na skoczni Adlerschanze. Konkurs rozegrany w 1994 roku był pierwszym w historii rozegranym w ramach LGP. Do 2013 roku Hinterzarten było jedynym miejscem, w którym w każdym roku odbywają się zawody LGP. W latach 1999–2010 w Hinterzarten odbywały się inauguracyjne zawody tego cyklu, a w latach 2006–2010 konkursy były rozgrywane w ramach Turnieju Czterech Narodów. Na 22 rozegranych indywidualnych konkursów, w 15 przypadkach zwycięzca konkursu w Hinterzarten w tym samym roku zostawał zwycięzcą całego cyklu LGP.

W 2014 roku z powodów finansowych na skoczni Adlerschanze nie odbyły się zawody Letniego Grand Prix, lecz od następnego sezonu zawody powróciły do kalendarza cyklu. W 2020 zawody LGP również nie zostały zaplanowane z powodu przebudowy skoczni.

Konkursy indywidualne
3 sierpnia 1994 zwyciężył Japończyk Takanobu Okabe, który bezpośrednio wyprzedził Nicolasa Dessuma oraz Jensa Weißfloga. Rok później najlepszy był Andreas Goldberger. 25 sierpnia 1996 konkurs wygrał Ari-Pekka Nikkola przed Miką Laitinenem oraz Adamem Małyszem. W 1997 i 1998 roku triumfatorem został Masahiko Harada. Sven Hannawald wygrał konkurs LGP w Hinterzarten 8 sierpnia 1999. Tuż za nim uplasowali się Janne Ahonen oraz Andreas Goldberger. 6 sierpnia 2000 zwyciężył Austriak Andreas Widhölzl. W 2001 i 2002 roku rozegrano po dwa konkursy. W 2001 roku zwycięzcami zostali Adam Małysz i Martin Höllwarth, a w 2002 roku dwukrotnie Andreas Widhölzl. W zawodach, które odbyły się 10 sierpnia 2003 na podium stanęli Thomas Morgenstern, Tami Kiuru oraz Roar Ljøkelsøy. W 2004 roku konkurs w ramach LGP wygrał Adam Małysz. Rok później zwyciężył Wolfgang Loitzl o trzy punkty wyprzedzając drugiego w konkursie Janne Ahonena. 6 sierpnia 2006 zwycięzcą został reprezentant gospodarzy Georg Späth, który wygrał również 2 lata później. W 2007 roku podobnie jak 4 lata wcześniej w zawodach najlepszy był Austriak Thomas Morgenstern. 9 sierpnia 2009 po skokach na 96,5 i 110 metrów zwyciężył Szwajcar Simon Ammann. Rok później zwycięstwo odniósł Adam Małysz, zwycięzca z 2001 i 2004 roku ze skoczni w Hinterzarten. Wyprzedził on bezpośrednio Thomasa Morgensterna oraz Fina Kalle Keituri. W 2011 roku trzecie zwycięstwo na Adlerschanze odniósł Thomas Morgenstern. W latach 2012-2013 konkurs wygrywali gospodarze: w 2012 Andreas Wank, zaś w 2013 Richard Freitag. W 2015 zwyciężył Dawid Kubacki, dla którego był to drugi z rzędu wygrany konkurs w sezonie LGP.

Najwięcej indywidualnych zwycięstw (3) mają na swoim koncie Andreas Widhölzl, Adam Małysz i Thomas Morgenstern, który najwięcej razy (7) zajmował miejsce w pierwszej trójce zawodów.

Konkursy drużynowe
28 sierpnia 1994 odbyły się w Hinterzarten pierwsze zawody drużynowe w ramach LGP. Zwycięzcami zostali Japończycy (w składzie Hiroya Saitō, Kenji Suda i Takanobu Okabe). Kolejny konkurs odbył się pięć lat później, a jego zwycięzcami zostali Niemcy. W 2000 roku zwycięzcami zostali Finowie z notą 1019,5 pkt. Od 2003 roku corocznie odbywają się zawody drużynowe. 9 sierpnia 2003 wygrał zespół austriacki. 1 sierpnia 2004 na podium drużynowego konkursu stanęli Austriacy, Japończycy i Polacy. 6 sierpnia 2005 najlepsi okazali się Niemcy w składzie Michael Neumayer, Alexander Herr, Georg Späth i Michael Uhrmann. W 2006, 2007 i 2008 roku zwyciężała drużyna Austrii. 8 sierpnia 2009 po raz pierwszy w Hinterzarten zwyciężyli Norwegowie. W zwycięskim składzie znaleźli się Bjørn Einar Romøren, Kenneth Gangnes, Anders Jacobsen i Tom Hilde. 7 sierpnia 2010 po raz pierwszy w historii zwycięstwo odniosła reprezentacja Polski, która w składzie z Adamem Małyszem, Dawidem Kubackim, Maciejem Kotem i Krzysztofem Miętusem pokonała drugą w konkursie Norwegię o 35,5 pkt. W 2011 roku po raz szósty w zawodach Letniego Grand Prix w Hinterzarten zwyciężyła drużyna austriacka, podobnie jak rok później. W 2013 roku po raz pierwszy na tym obiekcie odbyły się zawody drużyn mieszanych, które wygrali Japończycy. Dwa lata później powrócono do starej formuły, konkurs wygrała drużyna gospodarzy.

Jin dynasty (266–420)
(Redirected from Jin Dynasty (266–420))
The Jin dynasty ([tɕîn]; Chinese: 晉朝; pinyin: Jìn Cháo) or the Jin Empire, sometimes distinguished as the Sima Jin (司馬晉) or the Two Jins (兩晉), was a Chinese dynasty traditionally dated from 266 to 420 AD. It was founded by Sima Yan, eldest son of Sima Zhao, who was made the King of Jin and posthumously declared one of the founders of the dynasty, along with Sima Zhao's elder brother Sima Shi and father Sima Yi. It followed the Three Kingdoms period (220–280 AD), which ended with the conquest of Eastern Wu, culminating in the reunification of China proper.

There are two main divisions in the history of the dynasty. The Western Jin (266–316) was established as a successor state to Cao Wei after Sima Yan usurped the throne and had its capital at Luoyang and later Chang'an (modern Xi'an, Shaanxi province); Western Jin reunited China in 281 but fairly shortly thereafter fell into a succession crisis, the War of the Eight Princes, and suffered from the invasions instigated by the Five Barbarians, who went on to establish various dynastic states along the Yellow River valley in 304 and successfully occupied northern China after the Disaster of Yongjia in 311. These states then immediately began fighting each other, inaugurating the chaotic and bloody Sixteen Kingdoms era. After the fall of Chang'an in 316, the Western Jin dynasty collapsed, forcing survivors of the Jin monarch under Sima Rui to flee south of the Yangtze River to Jiankang (modern Nanjing) and establish the Eastern Jin (317–420). The Eastern Jin dynasty, though under constant threats from the north, remained relatively stable for the next century, but was eventually usurped by general Liu Yu in 420 and replaced with the Liu Song (420–479). The Western and Eastern Jin dynasties together make up the second of the Six Dynasties.

Within (Cao) Wei, who dominated the northern parts of China during the Three Kingdoms period, the Sima clan—with its most accomplished individual being Sima Yi—rose to prominence, particularly after the 249 coup d'état; historically known as the Incident at the Gaoping Tombs, where the Sima clan began to surpass the Cao clan in power. After Sima Yi's death, his eldest son, Sima Shi, kept a tight grip on the political scene, and after his own death, his younger brother, Sima Zhao, assisted his clans' interests by further suppressing rebellions and dissent, as well as recovering all of Shu (Han) and capturing Liu Shan, son of Liu Bei in 263. His actions rewarded him the rank of King of Jin, a title named for the Zhou-era marchland and duchy around Shaanxi's Jin River. (He was granted the title as his ancestral home was located in Wen County within Jin's former lands); this is the last achievable position while following an emperor. His ambitions for the throne were visible (proverbial in Chinese), but he died in 265 before any usurpation attempt could be made; he passes the Kingdom onto an ambitious son in Sima Yan.
FoundingEdit
See also: History of the Jin dynasty (266–420) and Military history of the Jin dynasty (266–420) and the Sixteen Kingdoms (304–439)
The Jin dynasty was founded in AD 266 by Sima Yan, posthumously known as Emperor Wu (the "Martial Emperor of Jin"). As King of Jin, he forced Cao Huan's abdication but permitted him to live in honor as the Prince of Chenliu and buried him with imperial ceremony. The Jin dynasty conquered Eastern Wu in 280 and united the country. The period of unity was short-lived as the state was soon weakened by corruption, political turmoil, and internal conflicts. Sima Yan's son Zhong, posthumously known as Emperor Hui (the "Benevolent Emperor of Jin"), was developmentally disabled.
DeclineEdit
Main articles: Uprising of the Five Barbarians and Disaster of Yongjia
Conflict over his succession in 290 expanded into the devastating War of the Eight Princes. The weakened dynasty was then engulfed by the Uprising of the Five Barbarians and lost control of northern China. Large numbers of Chinese fled south from the Central Plains; among other effects, these refugees and colonizers gave Quanzhou's Jin River its name as they settled its valley in Fujian. The Jin capital Luoyang was captured by Xiongnu King Liu Cong in 311. Sima Chi, posthumously known as Emperor Huai (the "Missing Emperor of Jin"), was captured and later executed. His successor Sima Ye, posthumously known as Emperor Min (the "Suffering Emperor of Jin"), was captured at Chang'an (present-day Xi'an) in 316 and also later executed.[2]
Eastern JinEdit
See also: Sixteen Kingdoms
The remnants of the Jin court fled to the south-east, reestablishing their government at Jiankang (present-day Nanjing). Sima Rui, the prince of Langya, was enthroned in 318, posthumously becoming known as Emperor Yuan (the "First Emperor of the Eastern Jin").[2] The rival northern states, who denied the legitimacy of his succession, sometimes referred to his state as "Langya".
At first, the southerners were resistant to the new ruler from the north. The circumstances obliged the Emperors of Eastern Jin to depend on both local and northern aristocrat clans. This was also the pinnacle of menfa (門閥, "gentry clans") politics : Several powerful immigrant elite clans controlled national affairs, such as Wang (王) clans of Langya and Taiyuan, Xie (謝) clan of Chenliu, Huan (桓) clan of Qiao Commandery, and Yu (庾) clan of Yingchuan, while the emperors' authority were limited. There was a prevalent remark that "Wang Dao and the emperor Sima Rui, they dominate the nation together" (王與馬,共天下) among the people.[3] It is said that when Emperor Yuan was holding court, he even invited Dao to sit by himself accepting jointly the congratulations from ministers, but Dao declined it.[4]
The local aristocrat clans were at odds with the immigrants. As such, tensions increased; they loomed large in Jin's domestic politics. Two of the most prominent local clans: Zhou (周) clan of Yixing and Shen (沈) clan of Wuxing's ruin was a bitter blow from which they never quite recovered. Moreover, there was a conflict among the immigrant clans' interests; it was a faction that led to a virtual balance which somewhat benefited the emperor's ruling.
Although there was a stated goal of recovering the "lost northern lands", paranoia within the royal family and a constant string of disruptions to the throne caused the loss of support among many officials. Military crises—including the rebellions of the generals Wang Dun and Su Jun, but also lesser fangzhen (方鎮, "military command") revolts—plagued the Eastern Jin throughout its 104 years of existence.
Special "commanderies of immigrants" and "white registers" were created for the massive amounts of Han Chinese from the north who moved to the south during the Eastern Jin dynasty.[5] The southern Chinese aristocracy was formed from the offspring of these migrants.[6] Celestial Masters and the nobility of northern China subdued the nobility of southern China during the Eastern Jin and Western Jin in Jiangnan in particular.[7] Southern China overtook the north in population after the depopulation of the north and the migration of northern Chinese to southern China.[8][9] Different waves of migration of aristocratic Chinese from northern China to the south at different times resulted in distinct groups of lineages.[10]
The Eastern Jin recovered its unity in the face of the 383 invasion by the Former Qin. The short-lived cooperation among Huan Chong (brother of General Huan Wen) and Prime Minister Xie An helped provide a major victory at the Fei River. A large amount of Former Qin territory was then taken or retaken.
DemiseEdit
Later, Huan Xuan, Huan Wen's son, usurped the throne and founded the dynasty of Huan Chu. He, in turn, was toppled by Liu Yu, who instated Sima Dezong, posthumously known as Emperor An (the "Peaceful Emperor of Jin"). Meanwhile, as civilian administration suffered, there were further revolts led by Sun En and Lu Xun; Western Shu became an independent kingdom under Qiao Zong. Liu Yu had Sima Dezong strangled and replaced by his brother Sima Dewen, posthumously known as Emperor Gong (the "Respectful Emperor of Jin"), in 419. Sima Dewen abdicated in 420 in favor of Liu Yu, who declared himself the ruler of the Song; Sima was asphyxiated with a blanket the following year. In the north, Northern Liang, the last of the Sixteen Kingdoms, was conquered by the Northern Wei in 439, ushering in the Northern dynasties period.
The Xianbei Northern Wei accepted the Jin refugees Sima Fei (司馬朏) and Sima Chuzhi (司馬楚之). They both married Xianbei princesses. Sima Fei's wife was named Huayang (華陽公主), who was a daughter of Emperor Xiaowen; Sima Chuzhi's son was Sima Jinlong (司馬金龍), who married a Northern Liang princess who was a daughter of Xiongnu King Juqu Mujian.[11] More than fifty percent of Tuoba Xianbei princesses of the Northern Wei were married to southern Han Chinese men from the imperial families and aristocrats from southern China of the Southern dynasties who defected and moved north to join the Northern Wei.[12] Much later, Sima Guang (1019–1086), who served as prime minister to the Song, claimed descent from the Jin dynasty (specifically, Sima Fu, brother of Sima Yi).
Government and demographyEdit
Menfa politicsEdit
Administrative divisions of Eastern Jin dynasty, as of 382 AD
Qiaoren and baijiEdit
The uprising of the five barbarians led to one in eight northerners migrating to the south. These immigrants were called "qiaoren (僑人, literally the lodged people)", accounting for one sixth of the then people living in the south. Considering most property of these refugees had been lost or exhausted as they arrived, they were privileged to be free from diao (調), a special poll tax that was paid via the silk or cotton cloth in ancient China, and other services. Their registers which were bound in white papers were called baiji (白籍). The ordinary ones which were bound in yellow papers were called huangji (黃籍) in comparison.
When the situation settled down, the preferential treatment not only was a heavy burden for the nation, but also aroused dissatisfaction from the natives. Hence, tu duan was an increasingly important issue for the Eastern Jin.
Lodged administrative divisionsEdit
The Eastern Jin court established the lodged administrative divisions which served as strongholds of the qiaoren. More effective administration for them was a realistic starting point for that. Consisting of three levels: qiaozhou (僑州, the lodged province), qiaojun (僑郡, the lodged commandery), and qiaoxian (僑縣, the lodged county), these lodged administrative divisions were merely nominal without possessing actual domain, or rather, they were local government in exile; what could scarcely be denied was their significance in Jin's legitimacy for the northern territory as somewhat an announcement. Furthermore, it was also an action done to appease the refugees' homesickness, which was evoking their desire to resume what had been lost.
During the rule of Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, and Emperor Cheng, the lodged administrative divisions were concentrated in the area south of the Huai River and the Lower Yangtze Plain. At first there was the lodged Langya Commandery within lodged Fei County in Jiankang, but when it began is not exactly known. Then the lodged Huaide County was also established in Jiankang, around 320. According to the Book of Song:
晉永嘉大亂,幽、冀、青、並、兗州及徐州之淮北流民,相率過淮,亦有過江在晉陵郡界者……又徙流民之在淮南者于晉陵諸縣,其徙過江南及留在江北者,並立僑郡縣以司牧之。徐、兗二州或治江北,江北又僑立幽、冀、青、並四州……(After Disaster of Yongjia, the refugees from You, Ji, Qing, Bing, Yan and Xu provinces came across the Huai River, some even came across the Yangtze River and stayed in Jinling Commandery... The lodged administrative divisions were established to govern them. The seats of Xu and Yan provinces perhaps were moved to the area north of the Yangtze River, where the lodged You, Ji, Qing, Bing provinces were established.)[13]
The lodged Pei, Qinghe, Xiapi, Dongguang, Pingchang, Jiyin, Puyang, Guangping, Taishan, Jiyang, and Lu commanderies were established when Emperor Ming ruled. The rebellions and invasions occurring in Jianghuai area led to more refugees switching to settle in the south of the Yangtze River, where the lodged Huainan Commandery was established afterwards.
However, carrying these out was more complex than the policy was formulated. Several actual counties were under the jurisdiction of the lodged commanderies.
A few lodged administrative divisions are still retained in China nowadays. For instance, Dangtu County was originally located in the area of Bengbu, however, the lodged Dangtu County was established in where it is now, and the latter replaced the former, inheriting its place name.
Tu duan policyEdit
The tu duan (土斷) is the abbreviation for yi tu duan (以土斷, means classifying people according to their present habitation to register). It was a policy to ensure the ancient hukou system working since the Western Jin. These terms were first recorded in the biographies of Wei Guan and Li Chong included in the Book of Jin:
今九域同規,大化方始,臣等以為宜皆蕩除末法,一擬古制,以土斷,定自公卿以下,皆以所居為正,無復懸客遠屬異土者。[14]
然承魏氏凋弊之跡,人物播越,仕無常朝,人無定處,郎吏蓄於軍府,豪右聚於都邑,事體駁錯,與古不同。謂九品既除,宜先開移徙,聽相並就。且明貢舉之法,不濫於境外,則冠帶之倫將不分而自均,即土斷之實行矣。[15]
Hence, it was perhaps initially proposed by these two people, but was only seriously implemented during the Eastern Jin and the Southern dynasties.
Society and cultureEdit
Material cultureEdit

The Jin dynasty is well known for the quality of its greenish celadon porcelain wares, which immediately followed the development of proto-celadon. Jar designs often incorporated animal, as well as Buddhist, figures.[16]
Examples of Yue ware are also known from the Jin dynasty.[17]

ReligionEdit
Taoism was polarized in the Jin dynasty. The Jin emperors repressed Taoists harshly, but also tried to exploit it, given the way it had been used near the end of the Han era in the poor peasants' revolts. Amidst the political turmoil of the era, many successful merchants, small landowners, and other moderately comfortable people found great solace in Taoist teachings and a number of major clans and military officers also took up the faith. Ge Hong emphasized loyalty to the emperor as a Taoist virtue; he even taught that rebels could never be Taoist immortals,[18] which made Taoism more palatable to the imperial hierarchy. As a result, popular Taoist religions were considered heterodoxy while the official schools of the court were supported, but the popular schools like Tianshi Taoism were still secretly held dear and promulgated amongst ordinary people.
Disunity, disintegration, and chaos also made Buddhism more popular, in part due to the focus on addressing suffering. The Jin dynasty marked a critical era for Mahayana in China. Dharmarakṣa's 286 translation of the Lotus Sutra was the most important one before Kumārajīva's 5th-century translation. It was said that there were 1,768 Buddhist temples in the Eastern Jin.[19]
Furthermore, Taoism advanced chemistry and medicine in China, whereas the contribution of Mahayana was concentrated in philosophy and literature.

Streetscape - Plaza Villamoros | Escofet 1886 S.A.
In Spanish, the word "estela" has two meanings: one is a trail, a footprint left by something when it passes by. The other is stele, a small monument left in the ground to commemorate and remember something. The proposal for the refurbishment of the main square in Villamoros de Mansilla, integrates both meanings.
There are two main needs to be solved: on one hand, to provide entity to a disorganized public space that has a complex geometry, that however hosts community activities such as gatherings, concerts and informal children games.
On the other hand, to create a recognizable image linked to the "St. James trail", that will help to reactivate the area, creating a pole of attraction for pilgrims: a place where they can stop, have a rest, drink and recover from the walk before continuing their way.
The system of three milestones of the road provides the public space with water, rest and shade, responding to the needs of the pilgrim. These are formalized with different aggregations of Comú benches, some with metal backrest, two models of Soc stools and Push limits alignments.

The essays collected in this volume explore the relationship between political and social censorship, and, more significantly, the rise of an insidious communal censorship that seeks to divide civil society and intimidate all those who value the gift of self-expression. They show how the forces of censorship in our society use lumpen power to threaten this gift of free speech as they burn books, silence dissent, destroy works of art, and intimidate the artist, researcher, writer, film-maker, actor and free thinker.
The author reflects on how free speech in India has been compromised by state censorship through 'slapp' suits in court, and on issues of official secrecy, contempt of court, and censorship by intolerance in civil society and government. More specifically, he examines the uses and abuses of the law, the case of harassing Husain, the Danish 'Toon' controversy and the right to strike.
The author argues, unrepentantly, that free speech has to be preserved in the overcrowded spaces of the media, on the streets and in the open spaces of our mind, against the onslaught of corporatism, doubtful governance and invidious divisiveness. Freedom of the mind and the right to self-expression and argument can only survive if intolerance is met with tolerance, and tolerance is not seen as weakness.
Rajeev Dhavan was educated in Allahabad, Cambridge, and London. He has taught at various universities, written several books and articles, and is now a Senior Advocate practising in the Supreme Court of India, having participated in some of the many campaigns described in this volume.

The Pocahontas Times is a weekly newspaper out of Marlinton, West Virginia. It is owned by The Pocahontas Times Inc., and has a circulation of 4,629.

History
Founded in 1882 in Huntersville by Reverend William T. Price, the paper was initially meant to keep his sons busy and provide extra income to pay for their college education. The paper moved to Marlinton in 1892.

The paper is most famous for the writings of its long-time editor and publisher Cal Price. Price, who bought out his brother's share of the paper in 1906, ran the paper until his death in 1957. Politically engaged, his editorials often fell towards the conservative side of the spectrum: he was, for example, an ardent supporter of Governor Ephraim Morgan's anti-Union America First Day. But in his 51 years as editor his reputation, both regionally and nationally, was built on his widely syndicated column "Field Notes" which focused on stories of local wildlife, and advanced the cause of conservation. Due to both his literary and political efforts, West Virginia named a state forest after him while he was still living, a fact of which Price said he was "sinfully proud."

After Price's death in 1957, the paper was run by his daughter Jane Price Sharp for many years. Elected president of the West Virginia Press Association, she became known nationally for her continued use of handset type, which the paper used into the 1980s. Her father, she said, had bought a linotype machine in 1901 but hadn't taken to it, and had sent it back; they had continued with hand set type since that time, although by the late 1970s they had to produce everything but the front page in offset type as that was how ads were supplied.

In an ironic turn of events, the paper—the last to use handset type—became the earliest in West Virginia to adopt desktop publishing, after a 1985 flood destroyed their printing plant.

Jane Sharp died in 2017, at the age of 95.

The paper is seen as an authoritative source of coverage for the county, and was sourced for national AP story as recently as 2017.

Roger Federer, Tennis News
Roger Federer accused of 'changing the ranking system to protect himself'
Roger Federer has been sensationally accused of 'changing the rankings system to protect himself' but a major German official.
Federer barely played in 2020 due to injury but has been able to maintain a top five ranking due to temporary changes in the rankings system due to the coronavirus crisis.
Those changes were made at an ATP level, with the WTA implementing a similar system, and there is no evidence at all of influence from Federer or anyone else.
However, Dick Hordorff, who is the Vice President of the German Tennis Federation, has alleged that Federer has used his position on the ATP Players Council for his own gain.
"Roger Federer simply changed the ranking method to protect himself," Hordorff said on the Quiet Please podcast. "It is irresponsible and quite simply incorrect.
"In my opinion, he takes advantage of his position on the Players' Council.
"It must nevertheless be said that without the change in ranking system, Roger Federer would not be in the top 50."

Quantitative easing alone will not be enough to rescue the Eurozone - IoD
Bond-buying bonanza may blunt necessary structural reforms
Commenting on the European Court of Justice declaring that the ECB's Outright Monetary Transactions bond-buying programme is legal and necessary 'in principle', James Sproule, chief economist at the IoD said:
"With the advice presented to the European Court of Justice, the EU has moved one step closer to full blown quantitative easing. This should be cause for some concern, not least because the ECB's bond-buying bonanza may well reduce the urgency with which necessary supply-side reforms are implemented. Structural reform is needed to make Europe more competitive, more conducive to enterprise, more attractive to foreign investment and more productive across the board. The European Union needs reform, and in the UK business support for the EU is predicated on such reform taking place.
"While it may be tempting to assume that European QE will put the euro zone on a similar recovery path to that seen in the US and the UK, it would be wrong to think throwing cash around will be enough on its own to put Europe on the road to sustainable recovery. Here, the case of Japan should serve as a warning. The Japanese also faced a significant recession in the early 1990s and an economy in dire need of reform. They embarked upon a massive programme of government spending which did little to promote sustainable growth, resulting in soaring government debt. At the outset of the Japanese great recession their government debt stood at 67% of GDP, roughly in line with debt levels today seen in Germany (56%), and the UK (82%). By 2012, Japanese debt to GDP had reached 237%.
"With the Japanese example in mind, it is vital that Europe approaches QE as one measure in a wider package of reforms. Member states need to work quickly to liberalise social and employment law, complete the single market in services and embrace digital innovation. The risk is that QE blunts the desperate need for wider economic reforms. By putting all their eggs in the one basket of government action, politicians risk delaying a return to sustainable growth."
