Despite the increase in lite expectancy over the last 200 years, not all groups ot people have the same chances of good health. What factors affect health? It is deplorable to recognize, but man is mortal. A human being grows older, so ability to adapt to the environment has being slackened with the years by Increasing probability ot death. Mostly, this process has internal character and decease in advanced age is natural. Nevertheless, the modern science has cast light on the substantial effect of environmental factor, behaviour pattern and socio-econornlc status to life span in last two centuries.
It should be noted, that vast majority ot people in the past were not died a natural death and it occurred much earlier owing to external natural causes. Epidemic, crop failure, act of God befell the human race constantly and took many llves_ It Is difficult to believe, but as the hard stat reports the influenza epidemic in 1918 infected half a billion people ecross the world and claimed the lives of almost 50 million earthmen, more than died in World War l. It appeared in late spring without warning and scientists, doctors and health officials were unable to diagnose a problem which was preading rapidly.
Mercifully, the contemporary breakthroughs In Immunlzatlon and vaccination have significantly decreased risk of its appearance in such scale. As an illustration, according to the data of the world Health organization, If In 50th the quantity of victims of Cholera totaled 502 thousand, in the last decade the respective performance did not exceed 47 thousand fatal outcomes. Meanwhile, by the expert's estimation of Sixty-first World Health Assembly participants In Geneva, the chronic ailments as a heart condition, stroke and cancer re main cause of 60 percent of fatal cases in nowadays.
The level of mortality from infectious disease will be declined at an early date whereas the figures of chronic illnesses will be grown. It is generally known that the risk ot development ot the above stated diseases directly depends on our nutrition and mode of life. The onrush of technology In 19th and 20th centuries has unavoidably changed the first as well as the second. For one thing, the agricultural industrialization led to dramatic reduction of nutritional value of many vegetables. Official U. S.
Department of Agriculture nutrient data shows that the calcium content ot broccoli averaged 12S milligrams per gram of dry weight in 1950, but only 4. 4 mg. dry weight in 2003. So If at the turn of the 20th century an adult person took dally dose of Iron from Just two apples, at the close of the century it demands at least 50 apples. In this sense, as we can Imeglne, any discourse of use of apple per day becomes pointless. Secondly, there Is no need to underestimate the importance ot our litestyle by relying on the existing preconception about genetic longevity of our ancestors.
Gothenburgs Sahlgrenska Academy has recently Issued Its research, where the scientists assert that hereditary factor does not play the expected role in life interval than mode of life. The unique study has being conducted during almost half a century among 50-year-olds_ By and comparing, they discovered in 2008 clear-cut correlation between smoking combined with cholesterol level and lower blood pressure and the number of heart attacks in the course of this four decades. Last but not least matter is influence of social inequality.

The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to provide funding to Stokes County to extend water and sewer service to the proposed new Stokes County campus of Forsyth Technical Community College (FTCC) in the Meadows community. The new campus will include one 20,000 sq. ft. education building that is projected to serve 1,200 students annually. The building can also function as a community center. The new sewer will serve properties with failing septic systems, including a restaurant that currently operates with a pump and haul permit, and a DOT maintenance facility whose septic system is severely limited during rain events. The system will also facilitate economic development in the area by allowing new retail businesses and medical facilities to locate in the area. Forsyth Tech will create 10 new full-time and 27 new part-time jobs as a result of the project.


The Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis wants to be the economic research institute in the Netherlands. To support policy makers and politicians in their policy decisions, the CPB conducts economic scientific research consisting of analyzes and estimates. Every year the CPB publishes four estimates of the development of the Dutch and global economy.
The most important two are the Central Economic Plan (CEP) that appears in the spring and the Macro Economic Outlook (MEV), which appears every year on Prinsjesdag. In June and December, the CPB publishes shorter, updated estimates.
Link Design was requested to redesign the look-and-feel of the reports. During this process we've not just looked at the design but also at the content structure and online and offline publication form.
Based on the overall design guidelines of the Dutch Government we've developed a flexible grid for the cover. We looked for a flexible jet recognisable visual style that can be translated into pdf publications, mailings, presentations and of-course the website.
As a result of our design phase we've deliverd a style-guide with digital assets. Based on these digital elements the IT department at the CPB could modulate the website.

Torre de' Berteri è una frazione del comune cremonese di Pieve San Giacomo posta a sud del centro abitato.

Storia
La località era un piccolo villaggio agricolo di antica origine del Contado di Cremona con 196 abitanti a metà Settecento.

In età napoleonica, dal 1810 al 1816, Torre Berteri fu già frazione di Pieve San Giacomo, recuperando però l'autonomia con la costituzione del Regno Lombardo-Veneto.

I governanti tedeschi si resero però presto conto della razionalità dell'operato napoleonico, e nel 1823 annessero definitivamente il comune di Torre de' Berteri al comune di Pieve San Giacomo.

Prakash Raj-Srinu Vaitla's Issue Resolved; No Ban
oi-Shekhar
By Shekhar Hooli
| Published: Friday, May 9, 2014, 15:39 [IST]
Multiple National award winner Prakash Raj, who is one of the most popular character artistes in South, was recently in news for a wrong reason. The Telugu Film Directors' Association (TFDA) and the Producers's Association (TFPA) were considering on banning him from acting in Tollywood due to his indiscipline and unprofessional behaviour. The latest we hear is that he has sorted out all the issues with director Srinu Viatla and there will not be any ban on him.
The rumours about Prakash Raj's controversial behavior and banning him from Tollywood started doing rounds in the air after he was replaced by Sonu Sood in Mahesh Babu's Aagadu. Later, it was reported that a complaint was lodged against him with the TFDA and TFPA. It was speculated that he might be banned from the industry if the committee constituted to resolve the issue was not satisfied with his explanation.
Replying rumours, Prakash Raj had confirmed that he had creative differences with director Srinu Vaitla. He had said, "I was part of the film. I completed the scene and left after the shoot and it is also true that I have been replaced. Yes, there have been creative differences between the director and me."
Meanwhile, he had also made it clear that he did not have any issue with actor Mahesh Babu. The actor had added, "I respect Mahesh a lot and there's no issue between us. Same is the case with the assistant director; if he comes to me with a script tomorrow, we may work together."
In his explanation to the committee, Prakash Raj has reportedly given his side of story on what happened between him and Srinu Vaitla on the sets of the movie Aagadu. The committee, which is said to be contented with his answer, has resolved the issue between the actor and director amicably. So there will not be any ban on the actor.

This photo has a great composition, stylish!
cool post – and in some ways it reminds me of how certain things are always in – like a classic black dress – pulled back hair etc.
Thank you! :-) I have no idea either to be honest as I am not into this kind of memorabilia, but I guess it could be easily googled up if one would desire to know how much is such pretty piece of old time magazinery worth on today's market. :-) Cheers!
Thanks for your constant support. I really appreciate you.

Counters Violence with Social Engagement A missionary movement, the Barelwis of the South Asian subcontinent have spread their message within the region and also among diaspora communities in Europe, North America, and South Africa. Centered on elevation of the last Prophet Muhammad as the perfect person who is ever-present, this group is distinct from Deobandi Muslims—who practice a more conservative brand of Islam and criticize the Sufi group as illicit innovators of Islam.

I am glad of the work being done by this website to spread the word of Ahle-Sunnah wal jamaah.
Wish to enlighten my friends with the latest regarding Hazrat Amin-e-Millat … Hazrat has been accused of leading the namaze-Janaaza of a Shia woman Anwar begum from Marehra sharif recently and sadly the he does not deny the fact but claims that the woman had committed TAUBA.. However the TAUBA was not public hence Hazrat Amin-e-Millat may please provide explanation of the same or at least clarify to his Sunni brethren at the earliest..
We are not aware of this fact bu have full confidence that she would be Muslim before death.InshAllah will try to get Info .
for ur info 40 people are the witness that this woman had committed TAUBA and all 40 people have signed on paper so dont try to defame pious people like HAzrat Amin e Millat..If you or your family have any personal grudges,please keep it to urself..May Allah guide you..
Hazrat Dr. AMEEN-E-MILLAT is a dynamic and very socialist personality of the world. He is a shiniest star of Barkati silsila. Dr. AMEEN-E-MILLAT is idle sheikh of this era.
u r doing the great job – May Allah bestow his endless mercy upon you.

Alex, I never knew you, but I caught a glimpse of your soul in October, 1988 while the Quilt was on display in D.C. The sight of Bob Lind's 45 rpm "Elusive Butterfly" sewn to your panel touched me deeply, creating an empathetic ache that I cannot describe in words. Now, almost twenty-five years later, we celebrate the dawn of marriage equality (i.e., social support for the freedom to love) and I find myself still thinking of you. I wonder if I'm imagining or if I'm really feeling your spirit as we joyously watch this incredible societal change. My thoughts are with you as we move ever closer to the day when all of us can freely cast our 'nets of wonder' while chasing that lovely elusive butterfly. Kudos and thanks to the creator(s) of your panel for keeping your memory alive.


Several of the CopyrightX teaching fellows used the 1990s Lotus v. Borland copyright case in their classes last week. In an excellent Case Study, Professor Fisher and TF/Berkman Center intern Ben Sobel dissected the background and holdings in this complex case.
An interesting aspect of the case study was the use of documents that came to light during Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination process. In 1995 now-Justice Kagan was Associate White House Counsel, and was involved in the administration's debate of whether to support Lotus (which had prevailed before Massachusetts U.S. District Court Judge Robert Keeton), or Borland (which won before the First Circuit). Judge Keeton had held the Lotus 1-2-3 menu hierarchy copyrightable, and the First Circuit had reversed, holding it to be an uncopyrightable method of operation under 17 U.S.C. sec. 102(b).
Few things anger employers more than learning that an employee who has been terminated has, before leaving, copied confidential documents. Courts often view this as an equitable justification for enforcing a covenant not to compete that might otherwise be "on the line" legally – maybe enforceable, maybe not.
But what if an employee copies confidential documents and does nothing with them? In other words, doesn't give them to a competitor or use them in a way harmful to the employer? If the employer discovers this after the employee has left, does it justify declaring that the employee is being terminated "for cause" (retroactively) and denying him the one year of severance his employment agreement had promised him when he was terminated "without cause"?
I'm privileged to be a CopyrightX teaching fellow this year, and this week CopyrightX met the real world – in the form of an encounter with Sony Music and the DMCA. Professor William Fisher's CopyrightX lecture 3.3, The Subject Matter of Copyright: Music, contains audio clips of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower played by Dylan, Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. The course is making the point, with musical illustrations, that U.S. copyright law allows cover versions, so long as the artist making the cover pays the required compulsory license, and, that the cover version can depart quite significantly from the "fundamental character" of the original.
Unsurprisingly, Youtube's automated ContentID system, cannot distinguish fair use from illegal use. Presumably, a "put back" notice will resolve this little contretemps.
Techdirt's Mike Masnick discusses the whole episode in more detail, here.

"No development for us here": Workers distraught as Assam government clears tea garden to build airport
Sanskrita Bharadwaj
Workers protest against the clearance of the Doloo tea estate, on 12 May 2022. The estate has given over a large share of its land to the government for the construction of a new airport. The estate's workers, already facing precarious financial conditions, are concerned that the clearance will take away their livelihood.
Courtesy Lakkhindar Teli
"Aami korbo toh korbo ki?"—What can I even do?—a 45-year-old worker asked. She had been working in the Doloo tea estate, situated in the Cachar district of Assam, for close to six years. Like her late husband, who had died a few years earlier, she had been a permanent employee. On 12 May, her future, as well as that of at least two thousand other workers, was thrown into peril when the Assam government began demolishing the Doloo estate, despite stiff opposition and swelling protests by its workers for several days. Bulldozers entered the estate to make way for a new airport.
Local news organisations shared videos of dozens of JCB machines uprooting tea plants in the presence of police, security forces and officials of the district administration. The action was accompanied by a police crackdown. The previous day, the district magistrate had suddenly imposed orders under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in the area, prohibiting people from assembling. "There was a probability of breach of law and order, so it was done as a precautionary measure by the government," Ramandeep Kaur Dhillon, the superintendent of police, told me. The administration also deployed close to a thousand personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force and the police in the area.
The videos showed hapless labourers agitated and crying, urging the government to kill them before destroying tea plants. "This will create a lot of hardships not just for me but for so many of us from our community," the 45-year-old, who lives with her daughter and son near Lalbagh, a division of the tea estate, told me. According to news reports, over 3 million plants were to be uprooted to construct a greenfield airport—one built from scratch.

In his seventh annual report to the Council on alleged cases of reprisals and intimidation, the Secretary General shares that the types of acts reported 'seem to have become more varied and severe' and target 'not only individuals or groups concerned but also their families, legal representatives NGOs and anyone linked to them'.
It is clear from the report that reprisals constitute a systematic and deliberate strategy to deter civil society engagement with human rights bodies. While the UN's response remains inadequate, impunity reigns and sustains this disturbing status quo.
The report evidences the consistent failure by States to respond to requests for information on allegations. The number of cases cited that continue without investigation by States shows a remarkable lack of concern and contempt for the Council by States in question.
Perhaps most disturbingly, the SG documents several cases of reprisals and intimidation by Member States of this Council — Members who are meant to 'uphold the highest standard in the promotion and protection of human rights' and 'fully cooperate with the Council'.
Beyond the abject failure of China, Kazakhstan, Maldives, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Viet Nam, among others, to meet these membership standards, the Human Rights Council is failing to carry out its own institutional mandate, which obliges it to promote the full implementation of States' human rights obligations and to review States' compliance with such obligations.
(3) ensure that States mentioned in the SG's report inform the Council regularly and in a timely manner of steps taken to investigate cases of reprisals, prosecute perpetrators, and provide remedies to victims.
Mr President, we welcome the steps taken by you and your Bureau to better address reprisals, as positively noted by the SG, and urge your successor to build on this practice. For their part, however, Member States of this Council must confront the reality that by failing to take adequate or concrete steps to prevent, condemn, investigate, ensure accountability, and end impunity for reprisals, they are complicit in undermining the system they have created to promote and protect human rights.

What Google Would Do
July 8, 2009 by Jeff Jarvis
chrome, google, Internet, reboot, wwgd
Is Google's OS the end of the OS – the long-predicted moment when Google and the web take over the PC? Or is it merely the disruptive OS throwing marbles on the floor for Microsoft and to some extent Apple and the software industry? Or will it be a platform and boon for app developers and PC makers and cloud companies? Or all of the above? Yes.
One may try to parse the motives and implications of the move like Latin haiku, but I think it's simple; it usually is with Google: It saw an opportunity to serve the end user and took it. The more such opportunities it grabs, the more benefit it brings to more people, the more money it makes. Maps, Docs, Reader, Android, book search, translation tools, GoogleNews are all that. Some attempts don't stick to the wall; some frontiers remain (it has not won in the social web, the live web, the deep web, and the local web); some things Google has to buy; some still don't have a clear business model. All have competitors; none is a monopoly, though search and advertising appear that way to some.
How does Google win? Its products are generally but not always better and cheaper (read: free) because Google's real secret is that it understands the economics of the internet and competed aggressively not against technology and internet companies but instead it competed for advertisers, selling performance over scarcity. The more Google serves end users – and the more it learns about them – the more opportunities it has. These are the economics of free.
I know the question of whether Google is too big will be raised when I appear on Brian Lehrer's show today (at 11a ET) with Siva Vaidhyanathan. That's the question Lehrer asked Eric Schmidt at the Aspen Ideas Festival:
"You'll be surprised that my answer is no," Schmidt responded. "Would you prefer the government running innovative companies?" No surprise that I agree with Schmidt. Lehrer's point is that banks needed regulation and that information is becoming as important as money (well, he didn't go that far). But I say government did regulate banks and AIG and did a horrid job of it. And look at the storm to regulate and break up Microsoft, which is no longer a threat but suddenly a victim. Heh. For that matter, look at what the market did to the oligopoly of Detroit and what Detroit did to itself. Clear Channel, Tribune Company, McClatchy – those are examples in media alone. Big has a way of tumbling of its own weight.
In any case, who's to say what's too big? We have a cultural problem of admiring big and then hating big; we want you to grow and then we want to cut you down to size. But this notion of being too big is arbitrary, ultimately meaningless if externally defined.
In this new economy, it may be that Google isn't yet big enough, that it hasn't brought its services and innovation – and goad to others to innovate – to enough corners of the internet. We will benefit from there being another operating system that opens up the applications and services to invention, breaking the Microsoft (and Apple) duopoly. We will end up getting cheaper applications and more choice among them. We will end up being able to use cheaper machines because our stuff will be in the cloud.
Yes, Google still has room to grow and there's more benefit we have to gain. I'll go farther: Google isn't yet big enough.
: ALSO: Mashable's questions about the Chrome OS.
: Gigaom's good analysis of the news:
Today Google went wild and announced its plans to create the Chrome operating system, which it says will be designed to run on netbooks. But it's really an attempt to keep Google relevant as an advertising powerhouse as consumers begin spending more time playing with web-connected apps than the web itself. It's the search giant's reaction to a wholesale change in computing driven by ubiquitous wireless access and mobility. The Chrome OS is another step in allowing Google to create what we've called the OS for advertising — an ad platform that extends across all devices and all screens.

Ks. Czesław Broda  (ur. 5 lutego 1885 w Słocinie, obecnie dzielnica Rzeszowa, zm. 12 grudnia 1940 w KL Dachau) – Sługa Boży Kościoła katolickiego, polski ksiądz, męczennik, dziekan, administrator, proboszcz parafii w Leżajsku i wiceprezes Zarządu Okręgowego Stronnictwa Narodowego w Rzeszowie, kanonik honorowy kapituły katedralnej w Przemyślu (od 1927).

Życiorys

Kapłaństwo
Święcenia kapłańskie przyjął 24 czerwca 1909 w Przemyślu. 15 grudnia 1911 przybył do Woli Raniżowskiej (parafia Raniżów), jako stały katecheta i rozpoczął starania o budowę kościoła. Dzięki temu w 1913 zbudowano cegielnię i w 1914, a 26 lipca 1914 położono kamień węgielny i rozpoczęto prace przy budowie kościoła.

Gdy wybuchła I wojny światowej wcielono go do wojska i budowa kościoła została przerwana.

W 1916 ks. Czesław Broda zdemobilizowany jako inwalida, powrócił i podjął dalsze prace przy wznoszeniu nowego kościoła.

Przyczynił się do tego, że parafia Wola Raniżowska została erygowana 12 marca 1919 pismem św. bpa Pelczara z dnia 28 lutego 1919. 13 czerwca 1921 ks. Czesław przeniesiony został do Leżajska i od 1925 został tam proboszczem. Od 1927 został kanonikiem honorowym kapituły katedralnej w Przemyślu, a od 1929 dziekanem dekanatu leżajskiego. Na przełomie lat 20. i 30. był wiceprezesem Zarządu Okręgowego Stronnictwa Narodowego w Rzeszowie. Jako dziekan leżajski ks. Czesław Broda dokonywał poświęceń nowych świątyń. Gdy przybył nowy proboszcz, do Białobrzegów koło Leżajska ks. Jan Latawiec, i wyposażył kościół w niezbędne urządzenia, dokonał poświęcenia tamtejszej świątyni. Był opiekunem wiernych w pobliskich parafiach m.in. w parafii Dębnie od 1935 do 1940. Był katechetą i pedagogiem, który uczył nie tylko religii, ale jako wiceprezes ZO SN uczył też miłości do Ojczyzny.

Wiosną 1939 wybrany został do Rady Miasta w Leżajsku.

Ostatnie miesiące życia
Kiedy rankiem 13 września 1939 do Leżajska wkroczyły oddziały niemieckiej 28 Dywizji Piechoty oraz 8 Dywizji Piechoty i rozpoczęto tworzenie struktur okupacyjnej władzy, ogłoszona została lista zakładników. Znalazł się na niej m.in. i ks. Czesław Broda.

Po pierwszym aresztowaniu wypuszczono go na krótko. Kolejna akcja okupanta miała miejsce w 23 lipca 1940 Gestapo aresztowało wtedy nie tylko ks. Czesława Brodę, ale i płk. Stanisława Eustachiewicza (1883–1948). Ks. Czesław Broda więziony był w Jarosławiu i Tarnowie, skąd po dwóch tygodniach został wywieziony do niemieckiego obozu koncentracyjnego Sachsenhausen (KL).

3 września 1940 przewieziono go do Dachau (KL) i zarejestrowany został z numerem obozowym 18218. W czasie pobytu w obozie, do którego przewieziono wielu polskich księży, poddawany był okrutnym represjom ze strony hitlerowskich strażników. Nieludzkie traktowanie, bicie, głodzenie i niewolnicza praca sprawiły, że siły księdza się wyczerpały. Zmarł, jak zapisano w aktach, na ciężkie zapalenie płuc w wieku 55 lat.

Beatyfikacja
Ks. Czesław Broda zaliczony jest do drugiej grupy polskich męczenników z okresu II wojny światowej, których proces beatyfikacyjny rozpoczął się 17 września 2003 roku.

Alex Trebek's Moving Message For His Fans Is Just Too Emotional Now
By David Rule
When Alex Trebek sits down to record a message for ABC affiliate 6ABC, he knows that his time on Earth is limited. But the long-time host of Jeopardy! does not let it show as he shares a message with viewers. And what Trebek has to say will confirm for his many fans that they have been right to love him for all these years.
Tragically, Trebek passed shortly after recording the message. It wasn't confirmed straight away why his life had ended, though the 80-year-old game show guru had been coping with a life-changing condition for 20 months. Yes, Trebek had been living with pancreatic cancer, which he'd faced with the good grace he was renowned for.
The Canadian icon came into the world in 1940 in the city of Sudbury, Ontario. He began a career as a journalist – reporting for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. – before moving into TV. In 1966 he started his life as a host of quiz shows in Canada. Though it would be nearly two decades before he tasted the big time.
In 1984 producer Merv Griffin plucked Trebek from relative obscurity to take the role that would define him. That was as the host of Jeopardy!, which the former was reviving alongside another show that would become a fan favorite: Wheel of Fortune. Yet even Griffin could not have predicted what a great choice Trebek would turn out to be.
Trebek would go on to smash records as the host of Jeopardy! His 8,200-plus episodes would see him enter the Guinness World Records for number of shows hosted, as he stayed in the job for 37 glorious seasons. The quiz guru received much acclaim for his work, not least from the Daytime Emmy Awards, which recognized him five times.
But the game show legend would receive some dark news in 2019. And he announced it to the world in a video that he issued in March of that year. Trebek said, "Just like 50,000 other people in the U.S. each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer."
Trebek took the news bravely, explaining in the video, "Now, normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging. But I'm going to fight this. And I'm going to keep working and with the love and support of my family and friends – and with the help of your prayers also – I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this [condition]."
Sadly, the outlook isn't good for those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The American Cancer Society notes that only 9 percent of people with the condition live for another five years, regardless of the stage of cancer that they have. Even so, Trebek did not intend to let it prevent him from hosting the show.
In fact, the beloved Canadian was willing to laugh about his future. He said, "Truth told, I have to [keep hosting] because under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy! for three more years." And he showed that his geniality had a base of steel when he added, "So help me. Keep the faith, and we'll win. We'll get it done."
Fans of the legendary host were then treated to an update in May 2019. Trebek told People magazine that he was close to remission. He said, "It's kind of mind-boggling. The doctors said they hadn't seen this kind of positive result in their memory… some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50 percent."
Sadly, the news did not continue to be quite as bright as the year wore on. After first trying chemotherapy, Trebek told Good Morning America that he had received medical reports that were approaching normal levels. But then he started to drop the pounds, which turned out to be a sign that the condition had not disappeared. Rather, it had strengthened.
Trebek revealed on the TV show that he'd dropped a dozen pounds in one week. He added, "And my numbers went sky high, much higher than they were when I was first diagnosed. So, the doctors have decided that I have to undergo chemo again, and that's what I'm doing."
Trebek had struggled during his experience with the condition, but he had no fear of dying. He told Good Morning America, "The thought of passing on doesn't frighten me. Other things do. The effect it will have on my loved ones – yes, that bothers me. It makes me sad. But the thought of myself moving on? Hey, folks, it comes with the territory."
In fact, Trebek acknowledged that at his age, the end was inevitable. He said, "I'm 79 years old. So, hey, I've lived a good life, a full life, and I'm nearing the end of that life. I know that." As a consequence, he was clear, "The thought of the pancreatic cancer does not frighten me."
Incredibly, by March 2020 Trebek had some better news, which he announced on Twitter. He said, "Hi everyone, If you've got a minute I'd like to bring you up to date on my health situation. The one-year survival rate for stage-four pancreatic cancer patients is 18 percent. I'm very happy to report that I've just reached that marker."
The game show host then described the year that he'd spent with cancer. He said, "Now, I'd be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one. There were some good days but a lot of not-so-good days. I joked with friends that the cancer won't kill me, the chemo treatments will."
Then in September 2020 Trebek had more happy news. He felt that his treatment had been successful and added that he was looking forward to celebrating two years of survival in February 2021. He told Good Morning America that his doctor expected him to make it. He said, "I expect to be around 'cause he said I will be around. And I expect to be hosting the show if I am around."
Trebek told the chat show host T.J. Holmes that tests had shown that he was "on the right track." And the TV personality was bursting with positivity as he approached his 80th birthday. When Holmes complimented him on how well he was doing, Trebek came back with, "Here I am, folks. Eat me up."
Trebek had been receiving an experimental treatment. The same course of immunotherapy had helped Nevada's former senator Harry Reid in his fight with pancreatic cancer. And the treatment had resulted in a remission of the latter's condition in June 2020. But the clock was very much running out on Trebek – despite appearances.
On November 8, 2020, the show that had made Trebek's name had some sad news to share. His struggle with cancer had come to an end. His employer's official account tweeted, "Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning – surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex."
Sony Pictures Television – responsible for Jeopardy! – shared its thoughts in a statement. It read, "Today, we lost a legend and a beloved member of the Sony Pictures family. For 37 amazing years, Alex Trebek was that comforting voice, that moment of escape and entertainment at the end of a long, hard day for millions of people around the world."
Friends recalled the kind of man Trebek had been. One, Peter Marshall – himself a game show host – had enjoyed a decades-long relationship with Trebek. He described to 6ABC how he had planned to see Trebek on the weekend of his passing. Marshall said, "He called me and he said, 'I just can't make it today, Petey.' I said, 'I understand. We'll see each other next week.'"
Marshall was left with fond memories of a man whom he considered just like a brother. He reminisced to 6ABC, "I loved him very much. In fact, the last time I spoke to him – which was yesterday – I said, 'Just remember I love you.' He said, 'I love you too, Petey.'"
Another mourner – Ruta Lee – had befriended Trebek when both had appeared on the game show High Rollers. She told 6ABC, "There was something about us that clicked not only on camera but off camera as well. I consider him one of my dearest buddies. I'm so grateful to God for the blessing of his joyous friendship."
Lee had spoken to Trebek a couple of days before the latter had passed. And he had been the same humorous conversationalist that she had known throughout their friendship. She told 6ABC, "It was a wonderful conversation. It was filled with humor. His best features were his wild sense of humor and his fabulous loyalty."
Trebek's genial character could be seen in his last message, which he filmed in late October. It was taped for his fans to enjoy for Thanksgiving. In the video, Trebek says, "Hello everyone. All of us here at Jeopardy! love the Delaware Valley and 6ABC and we look forward to the parade safely returning for all of you next year."
The TV legend then wraps up his message in typical fashion. His thoughts are not on his condition, but on others' wellbeing. He says, "Until then, stay well everyone. Have a happy Thanksgiving and a great holiday season." Poignantly, Trebek himself would not get to celebrate the holiday. He sadly passed shortly after recording the message.
Tributes soon began to pour in once the sad news of Trebek's demise had spread. Among them was a tweet from late-night TV host Stephen Colbert. He wrote, "Alex Trebek was a gentleman, and it was a privilege to share the stage, even briefly, with such a kind, thoughtful guy. Rest in peace."
Ken Jennings – hailed as Jeopardy!'s greatest champion – shared his feelings, too. The quizzer said he was thinking about the "Jeopardy! family," which, he said, "in a way, included millions of us." He tweeted, "Alex wasn't just the best ever at what he did. He was also a lovely and deeply decent man, and I'm grateful for every minute I got to spend with him."
Another to pay tribute to Trebek was Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He told his Twitter followers, "Almost every night for more than three decades, Alex Trebek entertained and educated millions around the world – instilling in so many of us a love for trivia. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who are mourning this tremendous loss."
The kind thoughts and tributes were warmly welcomed by Trebek's wife Jean. She paid her own tribute on November 11 by sharing a picture from her wedding day, in which Trebek is slipping on her wedding ring. She wrote in the caption on Instagram, "My family and I sincerely thank you all for your compassionate messages and generosity."
Clearly, the messages that Jean had received had made a strong impression on her. She shared that with her followers on Instagram, writing, "Your expressions have truly touched our hearts. Thank you so very, very much. Many Blessings to all, Jean Trebek." Certainly, the presenter too had valued his wife of 30 years and how she had borne his illness.
The game show host had told ABC News in a 2019 interview what Jean had gone through with his condition. He said, "It's always tough for caretakers because she has to deal with her worrying about my well-being and also dealing with… I'm not always the most pleasant person to be around when I'm experiencing severe pain or depression, and she has to tread lightly around me."
But if you're a fan of Jeopardy!, don't fret. Trebek's passing did not mean the end of his spell on the show. Sony Pictures Television announced that showings of the quiz production would continue to feature him through Christmas Day. This was possible because he had taped all-new episodes in advance – making the last of them only ten days before passing.
And Trebek's time in front of the camera seemed to do him a power of good. He described to The New York Times that making the show had helped him recover his sense of well-being. He said, "Oddly enough, when we started taping I suddenly started to regain my strength. It's the strangest thing. It is some kind of an elixir."
Before the first showing of Jeopardy! on the Monday after Trebek had passed, studio executive Mike Richards paid the show's own tribute. He took time before the tape was run at its normal time to acknowledge what he described as an "enormous loss." And that wasn't all that he had to say.
Richards described Trebek's feelings about Jeopardy! The producer said, "He loved this show and everything it stood for. In fact, he filmed his final episodes less than two weeks ago. He will forever be an inspiration for his constant desire to learn, his kindness, and for his love of his family."
It's not known whether Trebek had any final message on the show, but in January 2020 he had expressed an idea of what it might be in ABC's What is Jeopardy? He said, "I've kind of, in my mind, rehearsed it already, and what I would do on that day is tell the director, 'Time the show down to leave me 30 seconds at the end. That's all I want.'"
Trebek continued, "And I will say my goodbyes and I will tell people, 'Don't ask me who's going to replace me because I have no say whatsoever. But I'm sure that if you give them the same love and attention and respect that you have shown me… then they will be a success and the show will continue being a success.'"
There's no doubt that Trebek saw his potential goodbye statement as important – calling it a "significant moment." With that in mind, he ended it with some words that express the kindly, thoughtful soul that he was. He said his sign-off would be, "And until we meet again, God bless you and goodbye."

A Pukekohe family has launched a petition urging Pharmac to fund a drug for spinal muscular atrophy.
How must it feel to make decisions upon which lives depend?
That is often the role in which Pharmac finds itself — the Government agency that decides which drugs should be publicly funded. It is a job few of us would envy.
Pharmac balances a series of factors to make its decisions — but in essence it must weigh up a limited budget against which pharmaceuticals have the best chance of success.
This is an objective and rational process, as it should be. Emotion can have no place.
Yet who can fail to be moved by the case of 2-year-old Charlotte Bond, who has spinal muscular atrophy. It's a degenerative disease that affects the control of voluntary muscle movement. If untreated, the disease makes its sufferer weaker over time before causing an early death.
While SMA is rare, it is a genetic condition described as one of the more common rare diseases.
Tama Geddes, 2, is another sufferer whose family have been devastated by Pharmac's deferral on a decision to fund Spinraza — the only approved treatment for SMA which, while not a cure, has been proven to slow or block the effects of the disease.
That has left Charlotte's family gathering a petition to demand funding as they fight to prolong her life.
We've been here before. Notably with the battle to have cancer drugs Herceptin and Keytruda funded.
The human stories behind the battles are always heartbreaking.
Experts must put that aside and weigh up the evidence. In the case of Spinraza, Pharmac says it wants to wait for trials to show more evidence of long-term benefits. But this is a drug already funded in Australia and, very recently, approved for funding in Scotland. That suggests a level of international confidence that our authority should pay heed to.
The children suffering SMA may not have time to wait for trials to conclude.
Even with emotion cast aside, the better decision in this case is to fund the drug. The standard of proof of the drug's success can surely be lower when we are juggling the lives of young children.

Published in the WOMEN IN THE ART WORLD June 2015 edition of ARTnews, Maura Reilly's article brings into focus the on-going issues that form gender inequality in the contemporary art world. Read an excerpt from Reilly's compelling essay below.
TAKING THE MEASURE OF SEXISM: FACTS, FIGURES, AND FIXES
BY Maura Reilly
"Despite encouraging signs of women's improved status and visibility in the art world, there are still major systemic problems. Do not misunderstand me: women artists are in a far better position today than they were 45 years ago, when Linda Nochlin wrote her landmark essay, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" published in the pages of this magazine. Access to "high art" education, to which women have historically been denied, is now possible for many with financial means. (According to The New York Times, in 2006 women represented more than 60 percent of the students in art programs in the United States.) Moreover, the institutional power structures that Nochlin argued made it "impossible for women to achieve artistic excellence, or success, on the same footing as men, no matter what the potency of their so-called talent, or genius," have been shifting.
But inequality persists. The common refrain that "women are treated equally in the art world now" needs to be challenged. The existence of a few superstars or token achiever—like Marina Abramovic, Tracey Emin, and Cindy Sherman—does not mean that women artists have achieved equality. Far from it.The more closely one examines art-world statistics, the more glaringly obvious it becomes that, despite decades of postcolonial, feminist, anti-racist, and queer activism and theorizing, the majority continues to be defined as white, Euro-American, heterosexual, privileged, and, above all, male. Sexism is still so insidiously woven into the institutional fabric, language, and logic of the mainstream art world that it often goes undetected.
Last fall, artnet News asked 20 of the most powerful women in the art world if they felt the industry was biased and received a resounding "yes." Several were museum directors who argued that the senior management, predominantly male, had a stranglehold on the institutions, often preventing them from instituting substantive change. According to a 2014 study "The Gender Gap in Art Museum Directorships," conducted by the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), female art-museum directors earn substantially less than their male counterparts, and upper-level positions are most often occupied by men. The good news is that, while in 2005 women ran 32 percent of the museums in the United States, they now run 42.6 percent—albeit mainly the ones with the smallest budgets.
Discrimination against women at the top trickles down into every aspect of the art world—gallery representation, auction price differentials, press coverage, and inclusion in permanent-collection displays and solo-exhibition programs. A glance at the past few years of special-exhibition schedules at major art institutions in the United States, for instance, especially the presentation of solo shows, reveals the continued prevalence of gender disparity. Of all the solo exhibitions since 2007 at the Whitney Museum, 29 percent went to women artists. Some statistics have improved. In the year 2000, the Guggenheim in New York had zero solo shows by women. In 2014, 14 percent of the solo exhibitions were by women."

Read more on Reilly's publications, projects and activities on her website.
There have been many and varied responses to the article published on ARTnews from artists across generations.
Read a sample of some below.
"I feel that whatever I do has to do with my being a person who happens to be a woman. But I think the political issue is a great issue, although I'm not involved with the economics. I'm involved with the ideas.Nevertheless, I think we, as women artists, have to make our demands. And I think I do everything for myself that I possibly can within that situation. I'm lucky enough to have always had outlets for my work. But also, I've assumed power. You have to carefully sift out the important things that don't necessarily apply to your life in order to get to more important things, in order to go on, to make your own rules and not be a victim. Worrying takes a lot of energy, and it's negative." Read Benglis's full response here.
"While I agree that there have been great strides in making things better, we still have a ways to go before there's real parity. I am well aware that my prices aren't anywhere near those of my male counterparts, and while it annoys the hell out of me, I also think, How can I complain when I'm still doing so well? I was brought up to be self-sacrificing and more concerned with others than myself. I've never been super-competitive. Even in the hyped-up '80s, when I felt I was getting at least equal the praise of my male peers, my work sold for a fraction of their prices. But there was also the issue of photography versus painting, so my work would naturally be cheaper.
And then there's the theory that that is why so many women artists of my generation worked in photography, precisely because it didn't compete with painting." Read Sherman's full response here.
Chitra Ganesh
"The majority of my colleagues are women. Because my work opens up narratives to offer alternative representations of sexuality and eroticism, it is considered feminist.I bear the legacies of being a woman artist and at the same time using imagery that many people would consider foreign or inaccessible in an American cultural context.At a moment when so much is contingent upon an artist's market success—inclusion in biennials and museum shows, attaining gallery representation, higher-level grants and commissions, and mainstream visibility—it is difficult for artists whose cultural materials, art-historical referents, or formal approaches are not readily apprehended in the context of the mainstream market. I experience some of this in the reception of my work, with its combined presentation of figuration, sexuality, dark-skinned bodies, and seemingly "foreign" influences that a viewer located in the West might not be able to connect to American history or Western art history. Because of its apparent "illegibility," support for my work is at times more institutional than commercial." Read all of Ganesh's response here.
"It's important to notice how women are represented in exhibitions and other art infrastructures, and it's absolutely necessary to look at raw numbers in order to grasp the gender imbalance in any situation or context. The numbers can be shocking and glaringly honest, and without them people wouldn't be fully convinced of how uneven the playing field is.But I think there are other ways as well to note the disparities—nuanced ways in which the absence of women is manifest—in terms of ideas, choice of imagery, type of work curated in exhibitions, and how the female form is presented. How often do women appear in art, and how do they sit and perform in the works? Is the figure always represented as docile, inactive, sexualized, or subordinate? Does she have an inferior role in a larger narrative that emphasizes the superiority of the male protagonist? Is her appearance stereotypical in terms of weight, skin color, hair texture, and facial expression? Statistics help document the unfair representation of women, but studies and analysis of conceptual and intellectual misrepresentation are also important." Read all of Mutu's response here.


1. Where, pursuant to the tenth section of the Act of July 20, 1868, 15 Stat. 129, a survey of a distillery and an estimate of its producing capacity is made and a copy thereof furnished the distiller, such survey and estimate conclusively determine the producing capacity of the distillery, fix the minimum tax due from him, and can only be abrogated by a new survey and estimate, ordered by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, a copy of which is furnished to the distiller.
2. An abortive attempt to make a new estimate to take the place of the former cannot have the effect to annul it.
shall at any time be satisfied that such report of the capacity of a distillery is in any respect incorrect or needs revision, he shall direct the assessor to make in like manner another survey of said distillery; the report of said survey shall be executed in triplicate and deposited as hereinbefore provided."
capacity at three and a half gallons per bushel. In making this new estimate and determination of the producing capacity, the officers did not again visit the distillery, nor make any new measurements of any part thereof, but gave all the old measurements of the former report. Triplicate copies of this last report were made, one retained by the assessor and one sent to the commissioner. The assessor's clerk swore to having either mailed or delivered the third copy to Ferrary, and other evidence was introduced tending to show that it reached him; but he denied receiving or having any knowledge of it till about the time he closed his distillery, in March, 1871. His mail clerk and other employees testified in a manner tending to negative its delivery at the distillery.
"if the jury should be satisfied from the evidence that a second survey had not been made, or that a second copy of the same was not furnished Ferrary, then their verdict must be for the defendants."
1st, that the first report of survey was valid and binding until the same was abrogated by authority of law, and that was only when defendant was furnished with a copy of resurvey or second survey.
that no assessment was based on the first survey. An exception was taken to such refusal.
The jury found a verdict for the defendants, and, judgment having been rendered thereon, the United States sued out this writ of error.
"that if the copy of the second report ordered was furnished the defendant, no matter how, so he received it, he would be bound by it; but if he never received it, and continued to operate his distillery under the first one, then he would be bound by the first survey, of which he admits having received a copy."
There was also error in the instructions actually given to the jury, as well as in the refusal to give that asked by the plaintiffs.
of the producing capacity of his distillery, and made it his duty to pay the tax on at least eighty percent of that. Thus the law fixed both the rate and amount. If the assessor claimed more, without warrant, his claim did not relieve Ferrary from the duty of paying what was due, the amount prescribed by the law. So the jury should have been instructed.

21 Jump Street is Sorta Kinda Worth Seeing
Jonathan Poritsky
Culture, Film
Here's the deal: everyone laughed (and not in the good way) when they heard that Jonah Hill's 21 Jump Street reboot would have its premiere at SXSW four days before its nationwide rollout. This is a fest for indies, goddamit! We're hear to see heart-rending tales about reuniting with lost parents or putting puppies to sleep; quirky romances and gore-tastic slashers. But a bro-mantic reboot? Gimme a break.
Turns out it was a brilliant move by Columbia Pictures' marketing department because this crowd is absolutely smitten with the film, and we're telling the world about it. Sorry, starving filmmaker who maxed out three credit cards over six years to get here, we're going to cover the glossy Hollywood picture because, well, it's good!
The best way to explain what makes the film such a charmer is with an anecdote Jonah Hill shared at the Q & A after the premiere. He recounted his agent calling him up years ago to suggest turning the forgotten television series into a movie. His response was something to the effect of, "That's the stupidest fucking idea I've ever heard." That cavalier attitude runs deep throughout the irreverent comedy. There is even a line of dialogue in there that admits the powers that be have run out of ideas.
In short, Hill and co-star Channing Tatum play Schmidt and Jenko, two bumbling cops and unlikely pals assigned to an undercover assignment in a local high school to root out a drug dealer. The script, written by Michael Bacall (Jonah Hill shares a story credit with Bacall), takes advantage of this silly setup by taking things to their obvious extremes. The two cops throw the most insane kegger in high school movie history because, well, if you got to go back to high school with a valid ID, wouldn't you?
Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller smoothly enter the world of live-action filmmaking (their last film was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs). It's perhaps no surpise that the guys who violently rained oversized steak dinners on unsuspecting Atlantic islanders would make a film filled to the brim with excess. It is, in a word, ridiculous. There are out of place explosions, talking ice-cream cones, and deaths and dismemberments that will have you rolling in the aisles, and you'll quickly lose count of the expletives.
Still, there is something very genuine in the characterizations of the insecure nerd (Hill, obviously) and the vacuous glass of muscle milk (do I have to tell you who that is?). Perhaps I am taken by this film because there are almost no comedies at the multiplexes right now, and it's been awhile since I've laughed that hard.
I often wonder whether or not we find much to love in a film like this because the bar has been lowered so far that anything that makes us titter is worthy of praise. But you know what? Fuck that. I laughed my ass off at 21 Jump Street and the Austin crowd loved it too. It's about damn time someone cheered us up at the movies.

In Praise of Regina Casé – Exploring Brazil One Tree at a Time
July 22, 2015 · by Simon	· in In The News.	·
I discovered an absolutely excellent television programme yesterday and really felt that I wanted to mention it on Transition Consciousness.
Regina Casé is a Brazilian actress now in her sixties, notable for her comedy in particular. For many years she had a dream of making a television programme about Brazilian trees, and in 2000 her dream finally became a reality with Um Pé de Que? (which can be translated as What Tree is This?).
Credit: Um Pé de Que?
In each programme Casé travels to a specific region in Brazil, introducing us to and teaching us about one specific tree. In addition to this, Casé meets the local people, asking them about their traditions, especially exploring how they use, eat and live with that particular tree in question.
In the show I watched, Casé was in the Serrado do Espinhaço, a region of Minas Gerais, focusing on the Pimenta de Macaço tree. Pimenta in Portuguese means pepper, and its fruit are like peppers, but actually more healthy, although nowadays people do not use this fruit in their cooking.
There is of course a Um Pé de Que? website, and this has a great glossary where you can look up the name of a tree and find out more about it.
http://www.umpedeque.com.br
Also in last night's programme, there was a section filmed in the Paris Herb Museum. Casé had happened to be in Paris on holiday, and in fact all of this section was filmed on her phone. The actually footage was pretty good quality, and it shows what can be achieved with minimal technology but an eye for good production.
This was really interesting for me, since a few months ago I learnt the story of Brazil at the the Itaú Cultural Institute (see The Secret History of Brazil). Casé told the story of how French botanist Auguste de Saint-Hilaire had come to Brazil to study the fauna here, and had taken back many samples to France.
The original samples are all being digitised, allowing Brazilians back in Brazil to study the high definition images of the whole collection. The collection can be viewed via the A. de Saint-Hilaire Virtual Herbarium website which is available in Portuguese, French and English.
Credit: A. de Saint-Hilaire Virtual Herbarium
So far over 100 of trees in Brazil have been covered, from every one of Brazil's distinct biomasses. As Casé says on her website:
The way in which we live our lives does not allow time to study, especially going into the countryside as we do, allowing us to place our hands on the tree, smell the flowers, and taste the fruit. It's better than reading the books. I have always wanted to study botany, and I can only feel fulfilled with this work.
It's an excellent show, providing a much needed source of ecoliteracy for Brazilians, and also helping to raise ecological awareness. All it needs now is English subtitles and maybe Netflix distribution, as I know it would be hugely popular worldwide if made available. Congratulations to Regina Casé and all those who made this wonderful programme possible.

Hedda always looked forward to the ski season and being together with her NJSRA friends, coaches and the committed ski families. As much as she loved the freedom and speed of skiing, she even more treasured the friendship within the ski community. She started skiing at the age of three and she was quick to learn and she immediately fell in love with the sport and made friends with people all over the mountain. At that time our family discovered the NASTAR program at Mountain Creek and we would race each other every weekend. Fairly quickly both Hedda and William were signed up for the Superstars program whilst her little sister Elva was still getting used to the sport. To nobody's surprise Hedda immediately made many new friends and charmed the coaches with her wild and free spirit. Little did we know how much skiing would come to mean for our family.
As Hedda grew into racing she chiefly liked the friendship between girls and boys in a sport where boys and girls practice and race together. She also participated in several other sports and second to skiing Hedda had a liking for rugby. It was again that team spirit, the explosive, full-of-life experience playing with both boys and girls that attracted her.
In September 2015, at the age of 12, Hedda was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a brain tumor. Through the years that followed she went through brain surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, stem cell transplant and immunotherapy. Through her tribulations she remained full of life and against her doctor's cautions she kept on skiing during her first year of treatment.
The disease progressed quickly and bound her to a wheelchair as the tumor crushed her spine. Despite all she went through Hedda continued going to the races so she could be with her friends and extended family, and always cheering them on. The tumor never stopped her from being there for her friends, and her friends were always there for her. The race team became Hedda's village where she belonged and where she had a bond and friendship that was strong and compassionate.
Hedda was a girl full of life who deeply cared for people and animals. Starting at the young age of 7, she and her dog Julia visited long term care facilities to give the comfort to the elderly. Sometimes her caring spirit would backfire, as when she caught a squirrel in distress that ended up biting her and requiring her to get several rabies shots. Her kindheartedness for people and animals was always with her and was always shining through.
Hedda's own fight never stopped her from reaching out to people in need. On the contrary, she became even more compassionate for the children and families that were going through similarly awful life changing events as she did. She had the strength to carry her friends and family through the hardship she endured, and she always greeted people with a smile. Hedda's sense of humor, curiosity, openness, and bravery, coupled with maturity beyond her young age made her connect and welcome people at all ages and different walks of life.
Hedda passed away on March 2, 2018 and only a few weeks before she skied with friends and family at the Vermont Adaptive Ski program at Pico.


Independently use the R environment and know where to search for additional online resources.
Compute statistical analyses in integrated workflows (reading data in, exporting report and publication-quality figures) using the R environment.
This module is a keystone in the proposed quantitative stream on MB/OC pathways and integrates with later analytical needs on (e.g., Plymouth field course, project requirements). It introduces students to the philosophy of why we need statistics in an uncertain world, and provides an education in a complete workflow from importing data from local files or web resources, through the actual statistical analysis to exporting high-quality report- and publication-ready figures. The syllabus provides more one-on-one time between educators and students, through large group revision tutorials where students can anonymously submit requests for lecturers to revise old material and substantial time for one-on-one discussions in practical classes. Makes better use of modern lecture capture methods, both Panopto recordings of lectures. Pre-recorded snippets of key definitions that do not change year-on-year will be added. Contemporary modes of assessment include an applied knowledge assessment when students will run analyses in the R environment during the second piece of summative work. This mode further increases the diversity of assessments within our degree programmes.
The overarching goal is to provide more one-on-one time between educators and students to overcome the initial steep learning curve presenting by statistics and statistical software. •	Traditional lectures •	Large-group tutorials led by educator based on anonymized student requests for material to revise. •	Student-led practical sessions giving hands-on experience of the R environment, •	Studenet-led workshops to discuss experimental design in different circumstances. •	Short videos of key definitions and concepts via Blackboard •	Panopto lecture capture.
Software. Freely distributed R environment through the more intuitive RStudio interface, both of which are already part of the core University packages.

WATCH: Marcus Rashford Destroyed Benfica's Douglas Pereira With His Quick Feet
By Rajdeep Saha | October 19, 2017 | 0
Reuters/Carl Recine
English teenage sensation Marcus Rashford had a positive day for Manchester United, and showcased his skills to perfection against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League.
The highly rated youngster looked lively, and posed a threat in an otherwise impotent attack that failed to break down the Portuguese side's resistance.
Jose Mourinho's men returned to winning ways, and now have one foot in the knockout rounds after their 1-0 victory in the away game. Courtesy of this win, United have 9 points from three matches, and will hope to qualify as the winners of Group A.
WATCH: Martial Ruins Townsend's Career, Whose Reaction After The Humiliation Is Even Better
After United's defensive approach at Anfield last weekend that helped them salvage a point in the Premier League, Jose drew immense criticism from certain corners for going into the game with a negative mindset. But against Benfica, the Old Trafford club dominated the proceedings for most parts of the game, and they were rewarded with Rashford's bizarre goal after their young goalkeeper's howler from a free-kick.
Rashford's vision and attacking the post on numerous occasions showed his eye for goal, and Benfica's one mistake cost them dearly. But it wasn't just his goal, but also the way he surged past Benfica right-back Douglas Pereira on the left flank that became a moment to cherish for the supporters.

Jews again accused of using blood in matzah
Newspaper repeats age-old libel about 'barbaric rituals
A Lebanese daily newspaper published an article to coincide with Passover this year that resurrected the age-old blood libel about the "barbaric rituals" of the Jewish people.
The article in Al Sharq accused Jews of using human blood in their religious rituals, a notorious anti-Semitic smear.
The author, Lebanese writer Sana Kojok, claimed that during Passover, the Jews eat matzah made with the blood of non-Jews.
Kojok also called on the Palestinians to turn Israeli's religious holiday from one of joy into one of weeping and wailing.
The Middle East Media Research Institute reported the claim.
Kojok's article began by explaining some of the Jewish holiday traditions, including Sukkot and Hanukkah, then described what he called the "barbaric rituals" of Passover.
He wrote: "During the Jewish holiday of Passover, which begins today, strange and bizarre rituals are held, according to instructions by the Talmud: Houses are cleared of all leaven, that is, all bread and bread products containing yeast, which are called 'hametz' in Hebrew.
"Additionally, on the holiday eve, the Zionist Jews eat unleavened bread which during its preparation is mixed with blood – but that blood must be from a non-Jew! This unleavened bread is called 'matzah'," Kojok claimed.
The "blood libel" myth dates as far back as 1840, when a tale was spread around Syria that a priest, Father Toma, went to the Jewish Quarter of Damascus, where he was slaughtered by a group of rabbis and other Jews. As the historically inaccurate account goes, not a drop of blood was spilled because it was collected to make Passover matzah.
"Imagine someone eating matzah made with blood!? How do these barbarians think?? Such barbaric behavior – even in eating and drinking?!" Kojok wrote.
Kojok asserted that Jews were calling one another to invade the Al-Aqsa Mosque and celebrate Passover there. Muslims regard the Al-Aqsa Mosque as the third holiest site in Islam, located in the Old City of Jerusalem. It sits on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism.
"How can the world expect us to negotiate with people who crave the blood of human beings – not only in their wars, but even in their holidays?" he wrote.
In 2003, Arab media aired a program that depicted a boy being sacrificed and his blood used to make Passover matzah. Prominent Saudi clerics reiterated the myth in a 2012 interview, claiming also the Holocaust was "exaggerated."
In 2000, the Palestinian Liberation Army mufti, Sheik Col. Nader Al-Tamini, stated in a debate on Al-Jazeera that there can be no peace with the Jews because they suck and use the blood of Arabs on holidays such as Passover and Purim.
Kojok urged his fellow Muslims to turn the Jewish holiday into one of "weeping and wailing."
"Their d***** Talmud neither respects nor recognizes any monotheistic religion. The Palestinians should challenge the Zionist aggressors and turn their holiday from one of joy and pleasure at the taste of blood into one of weeping and wailing," Kojok wrote.


Haughty, grotesque and loving attention…..
ZIRKUS is the story of two cynical circus directors who are lifelong friends. After a few glorious years, their circus got in trouble and was eventually shut down. Missing the attention and looking for new praise, the directors came up with a plan which involved a flamboyant and voluptuous lady who is promised popularity and attention and does not seem to realize that she is being exploited for her appearance and is actually paraded as a circus freak.
Inspired by the Freak Show Genre, the act wants to push the boundaries of the stereotype of beauty and explore its contradictions, providing street theater that borders on the absurd and the grotesque. ZIRKUS, with its variety of humors, creates moments of authorized transgression by celebrating what deviates from normal and by reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously.
