We ask that you pray for all the Clergy of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church who schismed (separated) in 1054 A.D. from the root, ground and base of all things CHRISTIAN which is grounded and based in that which is known and called ORTHODOX CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY as they lead their sheep into Synchrestic Ecumenism and the One World Church of which many of our web pages provide historical information about. It is not the sheep who should be blamed, for their's is a true sincerity of heart faith... so much as it is the Clergy who are the root cause of these times in which abandonment of the faith, and ancient Epitome of the Holy Spirit inspired Seven Ecumenical Councils are being left aside since Vatican II has caused for God's hand of Love and compassion to be slowly lifted from them and this world of material life where greed and mammon have taken a strong hold through many entertainments never before sanctioned or allowed in worship.
We do not and cannot apologize for stating truth!
We cannot and will not apologize for stating Fact!
We cannot and will not apologize for those and other things because we have truly entered into the End Times of which what you see and experience is but just a beginning.
Resurrection Day, Easter, Pascha is a special time in which we must be blunt, honest and forthright in declaring these and other things to you, even though we do declare these things in different ways at other times with the hope and earnest prayers that your anger will cause for you to do your research and come to the root, ground and base of all things CHRISTIAN which is in Orthodox Catholic Christianity!

Robert Deaton, who most recently executive produced the Nashville portion of the star-studded Hand In Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief telethon that aired on September 14, has joined UTA's client list.
The television producer and director, who also has an extensive background in music video directing, pitched and sold the idea to televise a CMA Music Festival special on ABC 14 years ago. Country music stars Kelsea Ballerini and Thomas Rhett co-hosted the recent TV special, which aired in August. In addition, Deaton has served as the exec producer of ABC's CMA Awards for 11 shows and was at the helm of The Billboard Music Awards and CMA Country Christmas.
On the music side, the Grammy nominee co-produced Michael W. Smith & Friends: The Spirit of Christmas collection featuring Vince Gill, Little Big Town, Amy Grant, Carrie Underwood, Bono and Michael McDonald.
Last year, Deaton made his feature directorial debut with the film, Rounding Third, which stars Garret Dillahunt and John C. McGinley.

Issue: During a compliance spot check conducted by FRCC from February 27 to March 2, 2017, it was determined that LWU, a GO, was in violation of MOD-025-2 R1.2. FRCC identified that LWU did not verify at least 40 percent of its Facilities as set forth by the Implementation Plan. LWU failed to submit testing information for the Real Power capability of its Facilities to the Transmission Planner within 90 days of completing the test, as required. FRCC found that the violation was largely attributable to a lack of management oversight, originating from prior management staff that did not sufficiently monitor and incorporate new implementation policies.
Finding: FRCC found the violation constituted a minimal risk to BPS reliability and did not pose a serious or substantial risk to the BPS. By failing to inform the Transmission Planner, the capability model for the entire Region could have been compromised. Such inaccuracies could have negatively affected preparedness in emergency scenarios, as the misrepresentation of power resources available (or not available) could have exacerbated such a scenario. However, the total generation output from LWU in violation of MOD-025-2 represented a minimal proportion for the Region (only 0.0014 percent). The duration of the violation was from September 28, 2016 (when LWU failed to submit the required testing information to the Transmission Planner, per the 90-day timeframe as instituted in the Implementation Plan) through February 13, 2017 (when LWU notified the Transmission Planner). FRCC considered prior noncompliance with MOD-025-2, ultimately finding that the noncompliance history of LWU warranted consideration as an aggravating factor. Following the violation, LWU purchased asset management software and a third-party vendor to improve systematic tracking of NERC standards. LWU has now established a quarterly meeting schedule to discuss and review applicable deadlines and implementation measures.


Bees are affected by a wide range of pests and diseases. Keeping bees in man-made hives makes bees more susceptible, and it is important for bee keepers to regularly monitor their hives, as well as taking steps to keep their bees as healthy as possible at all times. Poorly kept hives and weak colonies are much more likely to be affected by outbreaks of pests or diseases.
European Foul Brood (EFB): EFB is caused by bacteria, similar to AFB. EFB is more treatable than AFB, and can be managed with antibiotics if affected hives can be quarantined. Nonetheless, destruction of affected hives is recommended. The spores can live for a hundred years and is very hard to kill.
Nosema Apis is a fungi that can infect the comb and wax and is transfered throughout the hive by the bees. Hives can be recovered if old wax is removed and boxes steam treated and repainted. The bees can be transferred to a clean box during the warm season. This may overcome the infection.
Chalk Brood & Stone Brood are fungal infections that affect the the brood by creating a web-like mycelium that takes over the brood in the cell. It can be detected upon inspection of the hive. Brood cells which previously held larvae appear solid, filled with a white, chalky substance. It affects the hive when it is young or under stress. It can be managed by transferring the bees into a new box with new frames. Destruction of the frames that are affected should be done to stop the spread of spores.
Good hive management is the best way to protect your hives (as well as your local honey industry) against pests and diseases. This requires regular inspection and knowledge of visual identifiation techniques and treatment methods.

MEMORIAL TO THE LATE COLONEL BAKER, M.P.

Motion agreed to.

alleged statement by rev. dr.
that at the last sitting a newspaper report was brought to its attention by the right hon. the Prime Minister, in consequence of which I despatched the following telegram yesterday afternoon:	.
You are reported in a despatch from Toronto which appears in the Ottawa Citizen, newspaper of this date as follows.
Kindly inform me whether you made such a statement or one similar in character. If report incorrect I deem it my duty to request you to inform me what you did say concerning this subject. Matter brought to my formal attention in the House to-day by the Prime Minister supported by the leader of the Opposition. An immediate reply is therefore essential.
The race track men of course had the money. My thought was not that money was used in the sense of bribery, but in keeping men there. We were berated by one speaker because we did not send letters. The words "foregone conclusion " referred to the fact that after the war was over this matter of racing would come back. I did not leave the impression on the Conference that I thought it a foregone conclusion that the Government would stand in with the race track people. I greatly regret that a false impression was left by the half dozen sentences which X uttered on this question. I shall be glad Sir, if you will make the substance of this telegram clear to the members of the House.
I have only this to say, that I think it is in the highest degree unfortunate that such loose language should be indulged: in by persons holding responsible positions, and that the press should be so careless in the matter of making reports as to enable language, capable of the interpretation which could be placed upon the despatch of yesterday, to go broadcast throughout the country.
this as an apology from Dr. Speer, and is the matter closed? I think his explanation makes it worse.
It is entirely a question for the House.
I think the best policy would have been to have ignored the whole matter. This man now states "I said what I am reported to have said but I do not mean it." He must take us for a lot of children. I cannot regard his aetion as otherwise than extremely foolish.
I should say, in view of the explanation made by Dr. Speer, that the incident may be regarded as closed.
MEN RELEASED ON HABEAS CORPUS RE-ARRESTED.
THE CASE OF THE LABRIE BROTHERS.
Mr. Speaker, the other day I brought to the attention of the Minister of Justice the fact that two brothers named Labrie, who have been sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary had been released on Habeas Corpus proceedings and then re-arrested. I noticed in last night's Montreal paper that Mr. Justice Duelos, who presided over the Habeas Corpus proceedings, has ordered the imprisonment of the Warden of the St. Vincent de Paul. Penitentiary for failure to produce the Labrie brothers in court.
Topic: MEN RELEASED ON HABEAS CORPUS RE-ARRESTED.
Subtopic: THE CASE OF THE LABRIE BROTHERS.
I am informed, that in disobeying the order of ithe court, the warden of the penitentiary ds acting under orders of some authority, and I will say without hesitation that it is high time that these authorities be shown that instead of hindering the process of justice they should do their utmost to facilitate it. I do not know who issued this order to disobey the order of the Superior Court, but whether it is the Minister of Justice of Canada or the Attorney General of this province, I say that they are giving a terrible example and one which can only do great harm to the respect and reputation tribunals are entitled to.
I know what the right hon. Minister of Justice will say in regard to the proceedings themselves-he has given his opinion based on the report of the Deputy Minister of Justice-but what is most serious in my judgment is that not only are the poor. Labrie brothers arrested, but that the warden of St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary has been sentenced to one year's imprisonment.
I would like to know what my right, hon. friend has to say in the matter. Before long he may be arrested himself for all I know, and I would be very sorry if that should happen.
I appreciate the sympathy in anticipation which my hon. friend extends to me. However, the subject is serious.

City of Lansing To Do Away With City Trash Bags For Collection
Nick Chase
Nick Chase Published: July 2, 2019
The Lansing State Journal is reporting that the City of Lansing is planning on discontinuing availability of specially designed and priced trash bags for city residents. Those that use the Capital Area Recycling and Trash service for refuse disposal won't simply just be able to buy regularly priced trash bags for pick up by the city. Residents will be required to to lease curbside wheel carts to continue service. Regular trash bags may be placed into those receptacles.
As it stands, residents can lease variously sized carts from the city, purchase 5-pack bags of the blue city trash bags for $11.25, or, use a private service for trash removal. In comparison, C.A.R.T. charges $48 every three months ($196 per year) for a 32-gallon cart. Those fit three regular sized trash bags or two larger sized trash bags for pickup each week. Larger cart sizes are also available for slightly higher fees.
Each city bag will fit approximately 15 gallons of refuse, but, all bags must weigh less than 30 pounds each. That means some bags may allow for a bit less than 15 gallons, some a bit more. Let's use 15 gallons as the fair average capacity. This means each time you purchase C.A.R.T. bags, you're getting 75 gallons for $11.25, a cost of 15 cents per gallon.
With a 32-gallon blue cart from C.A.R.T., you're allotted those 32 gallons in the container and two bags outside of it each week. Without even factoring the extra two bags each week, residents will get 384 gallons of space over the three month period for $48, a cost of twelve and a half cents per gallon, plus, any two-bag overages free each week.
If you're tossing out 2-3 bags of trash per week, you'll actually save money. If you're tossing out less than 2-3 bags per week, you might have a small, quiet gripe...and, a messy property/hoarding issue!! If that's you, or you're one of those who just likes to "stick it to da man...", you can always price out private landfill services and collectors. Get back to me about your savings there...
C.A.R.T. will stop collecting city trash bags at the end of December 2019. For full details, visit this link to LSJ.com.

A 30 day consultation process on the future of services at Exebank was conducted with interested parties from 6th December 2013 to 3rd January 2014. A formal consultation process has also been conducted with affected staff members and the Trade Unions to inform this report, completing on January 10th 2014.
There were 8 responses received. Of these the majority actually commented on the potential future use of site rather than formally ceasing services or offer proposals for use of the funds released.
Two accept the position that the Council finds itself in and that change is required.
Two are against the end of residential rehabilitation service provision at Exebank concerned that a community based service is not always suitable or practicable to help people home after hospital stays.
There have been no written responses from the staff group. Discussions have taken place with the Trade Unions at JCC meetings so they are fully informed of the proposals and have attended consultation events. Whilst it is not a formal requirement, the recognised Trade Unions have confirmed there is no written responses about the proposal.

Hamilton started on pole with Rosberg alongside, and recorded his eighth win of the season and 51st of his career, equalling Alain Prost's career tally in second place on the all-time list. It was Mercedes's sixth one-two of 2016. Rosberg's lead shrinks to 19 points.
Hamilton chalked up his 11th pole of the year, and Mercedes's record 19th of the season, and went on to take his ninth win of the season. Rosberg was second, his advantage cut to 12 points with only Abu Dhabi remaining.


Bernina 1300MDC Coverstitch is a combined overlocker and coverstitch machine and offers great sewing comfort. It cuts, sews and finishes in one single step. The 1300MDC produces seams and hems of highest stitch quality, from fine rolled hems to wide decorative edges and makes creative sewing easier than ever before! Let yourself be inspired by this overlocker's wide range of stitches. The additional coverstitch opens up a whole new dimension in sewing. Enjoy the wealth of luxury features which will make sewing and overlocking even more of a pleasure - especially the patented mtc thread control for the perfect seam at the turn of a knob.
The Bernina 1300MDC's patented mtc (micro thread control) system is a genuine technical highlight, permitting precise adjustment of the over-edge thread length at the simple turn of the control dial. The 1300MDC's micro-thread control affords you optimal thread control and perfect sewing results, regardless of the stitch chosen or the material of your project - a clever feature guaranteeing the highest stitch quality to ambitious overlockers and commercial workshops alike.
The Bernina 1300MDC's upper-knife arm can be swung out laterally from the locking mechanism to provide you with more room for working. When you don't wish to trim the fabric edge or when you're working in coverstitch mode, this gives you an additional advantage in terms of sewing ease, providing you with more space to give rein to your creativity. Once you wish to use the knife again, a simple turn of a knob returns it to its place - easily and effortlessly.
When the Bernina 1300MDC's looper cover or free-arm cover is opened, a safety switch is automatically activated that prevents accidental operation of the overlocker. This means that the Bernina 1300MDC offers greater safety during thread changes and threading up - cleverly thought-out and harmoniously designed down to the last detail.
The Bernina 1300MDC's LCD screen permanently displays all important stitch parameters at a glance, so the personal settings and default values of your chosen stitches are always in view. What's more, the LCD display helps you set the right thread tension: the recommended tension is displayed for you on the screen, and your individually set values can even be stored in the Bernina 1300MDC's memory. Your settings will then still be available, even if you switch to another stitch from time to time.
The Bernina 1300MDC boasts a wealth of convenient functions which let you work smoothly and keep interruptions to a minimum. One of the 1300MDC's features, for example, is a rolled-hem lever allowing you to switch effortlessly to a rolled-hem stitch and back, without having to change the stitch plate or presser foot. The automatic threading aids, handwheel position indicator (allowing you to find the right needle and lower-looper position for needle change in a flash) and swing-out presser foot (enabling speedy threading) are also particularly ergonomic and time-saving. The most important accessories are easily accessible, being neatly stored in the looper door – so you'll never waste precious time looking for them.
The Bernina 1300MDC features the patented Bernina Front Foot Lift, which gives an additional lift to the tip of the presser foot, enabling you to easily and accurately position and guide bulky projects and multiple layers of fabric without squeezing. There's even plenty of room under the presser foot for hand-knits, or multiple layers of fleece - making the 1300MDC ideal also for very bulky materials which are often difficult to accommodate under a standard presser foot - and giving you space for your creativity like never before!

To beach or not to beach: Where exactly is the raw sewage in Edmonton's river
It was the first downpour of the season and Epcor drainage engineers were antsy.
Last fall, they completed a massive new tunnel and sewer gates meant to keep more of Edmonton's raw sewage out of the North Saskatchewan River.
This was the first big test. But soon they were grinning. It worked.
"This is huge for us," said Chris Ward, a former city branch manager who now leads Epcor drainage.
"We're seeing it right now," he said on June 11 as a steady rain continued and sensors tracked run-off surging through the system. "What we're seeing is an order of magnitude reduction in overflow volume. Today is a very big day."
Edmonton has been trying to reduce the amount of raw sewage it releases into the river for decades, pushed into action in the 1990s by provincial legislation. It spent more than $200 million on water treatment upgrades, the tunnel, and three underground gates.
The problem is in the older areas of the city, where only one sewer line was built for both stormwater and sewage. Rainwater rushes in and increases the water level in main trunks, causing the diluted sewage to spill into overflow pipes that empty into the river.
Most of it comes out at Rat Creek, just down the bank from the east end of Jasper Avenue.
This tunnel under the North Saskatchewan River was intended to capture some of that spillage, storing it under the river until the Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Centre has capacity to treat it.

In the end, 54 millimetres of rain fell on June 11. At the Rat Creek outflow, 52,000 cubic metres of diluted sewage entered the river untreated.
That compares to a similar storm in 2014 that dropped 87 mm of rain, causing 900,000 cubic metres of smelly overflow. Another storm in 2016 dropped 25 mm and sent 300,000 cubic metres splashing into the river.
Although storms vary from year to year, an average 1.5 million cubic metres spilled at Rat Creek each year for the last five years. That's enough to fill 634 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
In Edmonton last year, Accidental Beach focused residents' attention on the river and river water quality like never before.
So this year, Postmedia compiled statistics for each potential combined sewer overflow point within city boundaries. All but one are downstream of Accidental Beach.
The upstream site had an overflow three out of the last five years, and trickled for three to five days each of those years.
Overall, the amount of fecal coliform entering the North Saskatchewan River from Edmonton has now dropped to below levels last seen in 1910.
Other contaminants could be coming from the farming, logging and residential uses on the tributaries to the North Saskatchewan, said Leah Kongsrude, executive director of the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance.
Epcor and other partners are studying these tributaries now. But wastewater treatment centres in Devon and Rocky Mountain House have been upgraded, so what they discharge is cleaner.
Swimming in a river is not like a chlorinated pool, she said. But the work by Edmonton and other partners to date has come a long way. "They're really leading edge."
"Enjoy the river. It's something to be appreciated and enjoyed," Kongsrude said. "But just like any water body, I'd use your best judgment. If it just had a storm and there's a bunch of debris running down the river, today's not the day."

Healthier Drink Options Head to the Hill in Maryland
At least one PreventObesity.net Leader is especially eager for this year's session of the Maryland General Assembly: There will be votes on two bills aimed at giving residents more access to healthier drink options.
The first proposed bill would remove the sales tax on bottled water, which is currently taxed at the same rate as sugary drinks. The second bill would require restaurants that offer children's menus to serve only water, low-fat milk or 100 percent juice as part of the bundled kids' meal price—though parents would still be able to choose another option if they'd prefer.
According to Sugar Free Kids Maryland, a supporter of these bills, the state is one of only four that taxes bottled water at a higher rate than other essential groceries such as eggs, bread and milk. The organization is now on a mission to educate the state legislature on the fact that water is, in fact, also essential to human life. Hearings on this bill have already been heard in the House, and are scheduled to take place in the Senate on Thursday, March 12.
Though tap water is preferable to bottled water, Robi Rawl, a PreventObesity.net Leader and executive director of Sugar Free Kids Maryland, recognizes that in some cases tap water is often perceived to be unsafe due to an older infrastructure and potential for lead in the pipes.
"For Marylanders that are dependent on bottled water, this would be an opportunity for them to choose the healthy option rather than a sugary drink," Rawl said. (You can read more about this legislation in their recent Baltimore Sun op-ed here.)
The second bill, which would require kids meals to be served with only water, low-fat milk or 100 percent juice by default, was discussed in House and Senate committee hearings in February.
Rawl noted that currently, nearly 80 percent of restaurants offer sugary drinks as a default and that often, parents have to pay extra for a healthier drink. Also, with this proposed bill, parents would still have the option to choose a drink other than the healthy default.
"This bill puts parents back in control of their children's food choices," Rawl said.
Support for these two pieces of legislation is consistent across the state: A poll conducted by OpinionWorks in 2014 shows an 80 percent support rate among Maryland voters for the Water Affordability Act. A similar poll from OpinionWorks shows that nearly 70 percent of Marylanders (and 75 percent of Maryland parents) support legislation that limits the types of default beverages offered with kids meals to only healthy options.
"The support is really astounding," Rawl said.
Last session, Sugar Free Kids Maryland saw a legislative victory for children in childcare centers. These centers in Maryland are now required to provide healthier drinks to children, give better support for mothers who are breastfeeding, and reduce non-educational screen time.
"There is no magic bullet to cure childhood obesity, but these bills are a good first step that the legislature has the power to make," said Rawl.

A Heavy Rhetoric: Leon Golub at the Met Breuer
Above: Leon Golub. "Bite Your Tongue," 2001. Acrylic on linen, 87 x 153 in 221 x 388 cm. © The Nancy Spero and Leon Golub Foundation for the Arts/Licensed by VAGA, New York, NY.
Leon Golub's show at the Met Breuer shows him to be an allegorical artist working by way of polemics, although he cannot be faulted for cynical, self-aggrandizing intentions. Formally, his work is problematic. It is often muddy and unclear. This lack of clarity holds sway over the subject matter as well–it is not clear what unhappy situation Golub is referring to, although, generally speaking, we know the paintings are about torture and murder in Latin America, as well as racial contestations in South Africa. But we know these things from outside information; they are not available in the paintings themselves; this historical vagueness exists in contrast to the great political painting, whose outrage can always be dated to a specific event. Witness Goya's The Third of May 1808, which documents Spanish resistance to Napoleon's army during the Peninsular War. A similar particularity is not found in Golub's art.
I am not trying to undermine Golub's intentions, which are entirely honorable. Instead, I am criticizing the American penchant for casual political internationalism at a time when so much here in the States is so very wrong. The well-known and well-regarded poet Carolyn Forché traveled to El Salvador to document the political suffering there in the 1980s. Many see this as a noble attempt at social empathy, but I wish to counter that opinion by suggesting there is something unreal about the writer's decision to concentrate on political events outside her culture. It is clear that Forché's motives are of the highest kind, and it is also true that artists and intellectuals have often shown international solidarity with causes not directly affecting them–witness the extraordinary example of the British-born, American-based classicist Bernard Knox, who fought in both the Spanish Civil War and the Second War. But, even if we recognize the intensity of moral purpose in Forche's poetry and Golub's paintings, the implications of their supposedly empathic response to suffering so far away from them cannot survive in full trust.

Why is this so? First, it is clear that other cultures are much better than American culture in addressing political suffering. Think of Pablo Neruda, from Chile, or Cesar Vallejo, from Peru. These artists managed to produce writing whose political effect is authentic. But, in America, while poetry readings given in opposition to the Vietnam War were certainly earnest, I cannot remember a single poem whose art rose to the level of work by the Spanish-speaking writers I mentioned. As for Golub–it goes without saying that his sympathies were genuine. But it is also true that his paintings of mercenaries don't ring as being entirely believable. The paintings cannot be fully trusted–as good as they are!–because our manner of life here is both comfortable and socially autonomous, making it impossible to free ourselves from the trappings of privilege. Gigantomachy II (1966), a huge painting facing the elevators of the Met Breuer, continues our penchant for an imagined connectedness with trouble, on a mythic level. The word "gigantomachy" refers to the battle between the giants and Olympian gods in Greek mythology, and Golub portrays the conflict in epic style. Two groups of figures, all of them naked, fill the dark-brown background. Painted as if their skin had been flayed from their body, the combatants grip and lunge and push each other in some obscure conflict, a close-to-mad attempt to establish dominance.

It is clear that Golub has painted an arresting, if murky, tale of violence by men toward other men–a theme he returns to again and again. Man's inhumanity to man is regularly lamented, but we won't break free of the wish to overpower our opponents. Gigantomachy II owes its power to our recognition of the conflict, but its mythic origins lie at the center of the painting. In the later works, based on actual history and places, Golub loses mythic power but gains in realism. Almost always, Golub's audience must read the wall plaques to gain a sense of the situation being referred to. In the painting Two Black Women and a White Man (1986), two black women sit on a bench against a yellow wall. They are old and poor; both wear hats, and the woman on the left holds a cane. On the right, a vigorous white male, in his forties, looks away from the women; his gaze goes beyond the confines of the painting. He is wearing a red, short-sleeved shirt and khaki pants; as a male figure at the top of his game, he is young and powerful and seemingly indifferent to anyone's complaint, the black women next to him included.

The man's overt lack of feeling is both a report and a judgment. He doesn't give exact details, so we assume it is a work reporting on conditions where segregation, or at least profound prejudice, exists–perhaps South Africa. One might argue that not knowing the painting's circumstances helps the artist convey the general banality of evil, but the fact remains that our inability to pinpoint the situation is disturbing enough to result in a false first step in interpreting the composition. The elements of the painting seem to be at cross purposes with each other; none of the three figures interacts with the other two. There is an implicit loss of faith from the start. Whatever the particulars of this composition may be, it is clear that the main atmosphere in which the three figures are engulfed is just shy of overt hostility.
It may be that the best art contains a realism based on experience and a more imaginative view of that experience. But what if the violence is indescribable in its extent and quality? Maybe Golub is leaning toward the allegorical because a truthful report would be so troubling as to do away with its esthetic potential. The aggression in Golub's paintings is usually indirect–although also truthful enough in its report for his viewers to be able to imagine the aggression clearly. It is true enough that art cannot match real life, but it can embellish–and deepen–our understanding of things.

Golub was also interested in depicting inequalities of power in gender relations. The painting discussed implies but does not directly address gender inequalities. In Horsing Around IV (1983)–the "Horsing Around" series is based on photos of mercenaries from Africa and Central America (Golub often worked from photos)–shows a white man, with a hideous face, grinning, holding a bottle of liquor, and pulling at the white blouse of a black prostitute with short, straightened hair. The woman's dark-brown dress ends above her thighs, and she is laughing as well, although her seeming happiness is clearly being paid for.
The prostitute sits on a bar stool, her breast revealed. Golub is making an open connection between political and sexual violence. As takes place in most of Golub's paintings, the violence is implied rather than actual. In general, this show reveals Golub's disgust with the behavioral excesses of power, both public and private. He is telling us that the mercenaries are more than dead souls; they are active perpetrators of malevolence. But the problem of generalization in his art remains. Violence is never generic but always specific–a particular person is doing something to a particular person. If the details are left out, the visual narrative becomes allegorical and symbolic. Despite Golub's claim on our sympathy, true empathy is not achieved. These works portray images meant to introduce sympathy in a nearly stereotyped manner; Golub reports more than empathizes.
But reportage, a journalistic rather than an imaginative endeavor, usually results in intellectual insight rather than empathic identification. This is the problem facing all of us who have had the good luck to evade the kinds of tragedies Golub paints. It may be that good fortune, in the form of material comfort, gets in the way of our ability to sympathize with the poor and the disenfranchised. In the last painting discussed, Contemplating Pre-Columbian (no date), we see a full skeleton drawn in red chalk. The figure is in a sitting position, bent over, and with its arms bent at the elbows but also rising upward. Beneath the skeleton is a pre-Columbian skull, with a full set of teeth. The image is distraught, though there is no way of telling so. Perhaps Golub is acknowledging his own frailties: advancing age and death.

Golub feels like a major artist, but a narrow one. He is uncommonly brave to direct so much attention to worldwide injustice, as well as paying attention to the long historical ascendancy of the male gender. But even so, criticism of his political vagueness seems justified in light of our need to know who did what to whom. His paintings are sometime too generalized. Golun evoked a feeling we don't come across much in American art–a commitment to the portrayal of injustice on an international level. If Golub's global politics prevents him from a precise demonstration of evil, it also provides him with the space to amplify the point that, these days, morality is heavily damaged everywhere. We now find acceptable, everywhere, what was once condemned. Golub even looks at the politics of gender relations, moving from the public to the private sphere. His outrage may be slightly too generic to be absolutely convincing, but his emphasis on the consequences of violence–physical, emotional, and mental–makes him an artist of high merit.

Interview with Theresa Byrnes, Painter and Performance Artist
Australian-born and New York-based Painter and Performance Artist Theresa Byrnes talks with Artifactoid about inspiration, a return to her roots as a painter, and her most recent performance, "Mudbird," created in collaboration with her 20-month-old son.
Artifactoid: How did you get started as an artist?
TB: At age 16 in 1985, my studio was the family lounge and dining area. I would start to paint every night after dinner while everyone watched TV. By the time everyone went off to bed one by one, I would get more and more on a roll. I would paint through the night. Soon I outgrew the family room, no longer able to pack all my canvases neatly every night without disrupting my process or running the risk of wet work being trodden on when the the family awoke. I scoured the classifieds to find a studio. I found part of a warehouse to rent cheaply, so I did. 29 years ago, at age 17 in 1986, I began to paint full-time in my very own studio!
I had already been included in minor group shows from 14 years of age and on. While in high school I did life drawing classes at night, and some of my drawings were selected for a group show. I went out on a limb and contacted a curator who included my work in a rotating VIP lounge, and my work began to sell. My first solo exhibition was at 17, but I consider being an artist about making art more than about exhibiting or selling it.
Mistakes in painting are like an angel pushed your hand, changing your direction to somewhere you never would have gone
Artifactoid: Who are your biggest influences in performance art and why? Who inspires you?
TB: I did my first performance when I was 19 in 1989 in Sydney Australia's Chinatown. The piece, titled "China Crisis," was my response to the Tiananmen Square Massacre. My entrance into doing performance art was not inspired by an artist, but by heroic dissent. The cry out for freedom and justice inspires me. In "China Crisis," I laid in front of a large red painting. For me, performance is a natural spill-over from painting: paint is my language, I just commit my body to performance. "TRACE" (2007) was inspired by a dying bird in an oil spill. In "DUST TO DUST" (2011), dirt was my inspiration – the transformative power of mulch.
In 2002, I met Carolee Schneemann; we read each other's books (mine The Divine Mistake, her's More Than Meat Joy). I learned a lot about her work, and felt connected to her even more once I learned that she is also a painter whose performance flows from that.
Artifactoid: What are some of your biggest day-to-day influences as an artist?
TB: Stains on the sidewalks, streaks with random marks on windows – I made a short film about sidewalk markings titled, CARELESS in 2000. Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio) helped me shoot and edit it (he is now my son's godfather). It was screened at MONA (Detroit) in 2001.
Old, decaying wood also inspires me, I have done several painting series on aged wood 2001 and 2010. When I paint on aging wood, I feel like I am collaborating with nature, not trying to capture it.
Artifactoid: How has your perspective as an artist changed over time?
TB: That nothing is permanent. Earlier in my career, well, pre-September 11th, I cared greatly about paintings lasting forever. Now I feel "archival" materials are pitched to artists who believe this civilization will survive another 500-1000 years. I am into showing who we are now, because now is real: all we have, vulnerable, avoided, denied, unnoticed. Art materials are everywhere; they're not limited to an art store. I love to work with mud and hair and other ingredients as well as ink and oil paint.
Artifactoid: What are some of the most important lessons you've learned through your art?
TB: That nothing is a mistake. Mistakes in painting are like an angel pushed your hand, changing your direction to somewhere you never would have gone. In my entire 30-year career, painting still genuinely astounds me – the unguessable moment it resolves.
Artifactoid: What is the best advice you've ever received in your career?
TB: Be humble.
Artifactoid: In what direction would you like to take your art moving forward?
TB: I am at a turning point. I am returning to my roots as a painter, where I first discovered my talent and lost my identity/sense of separation from art in the process: painting portraits. For the next two years, I will only paint portraits. Abstraction and performance art lent to my feeling immortal, but now, I am a mother and I feel human, more grounded and more vulnerable than ever. I am pulled to dive in in this direction.
Artifactoid: What advice would you give to other artists?
TB: Know when to stop. As long as you are making art, "you've made it."
Artifactoid: Please describe your inspiration behind "Mudbird," and some of the most important things about the piece (to you).
TB: "Mudbird" is the second performance I have done with my son, Sparrow, (now 20 months old). In "Mudbird" I play with my baby in the mud thinking of the cycle of all beings – to live and die. We come from the earth and end up in it. Mud; earth, is a uniting and dividing force between mother and child. I gave my life for his to begin. Okay, I am not dead yet, but a part of me has died – my life as a single artist.
At the time of performance, I felt a sense of my immanent death. I have Friedrich's Ataxia (FA). It is a chronic and fatal genetic disorder of the nervous system. I have been wheelchair-mobile for 20 years. My voice slurring, mundane things slowly getting harder, and recently I tore my right rotator cuff. I have never felt disabled, as I have always fulfilled my aims and called the shots, but post-birth and with injury, I felt unusualły hopeless. Sure I cannot walk, but now I can't fly; wings clipped. Much of the "Mudbird" series is about my burial and Sparrow's flight. It has been a burial of several parts of myself. And now I again recreate myself, or return to who I am.
Theresa Byrnes has had over 25 solo shows at spaces including Saatchi & Saatchi in New York and Sydney, and the Australian Embassy in Washington D.C. In 1996, she was awarded Young Australian of the Year. To keep up with Theresa and her latest works, visit her website and follow her on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Cedar Rapids was named for the surging rapids of the Cedar River. It is a commercial and industrial city and a distribution and rail center for the extensive surrounding agricultural area. The first real population boom in Cedar Rapids occurred after the Civil War. In 1829, the North Star Oatmeal Mill began operation, growing rapidly into the internationally known Quaker Oats Company. A unique blend of immigrants from Scotland, England, Ireland, Germany and the Czech and Slovak republics settled in Cedar Rapids. The city's rich history still provides it with an "Old World" feel today. The National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library tell the story of the people who were so instrumental in the growth of Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids today bears little resemblance to the muddy settlement it once was. It is a thriving manufacturing center, producing such goods as food and beverages, electrical equipment, machinery and metal. A regional cultural destination, the town is home to a major symphony orchestra and many quality museums, galleries and theaters. Popular tourist attractions include the US Cellular Center, Ushers Ferry Historic Village and the nearby Amana Colonies.
Cedar Rapids residents celebrate their vibrant community and rich cultural heritage through several festive annual events. The Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival, Taste of Cedar Rapids and the Ushers Ferry Folk Festival are family traditions in the heart of eastern Iowa.
Outdoor recreational opportunities are plentiful. The Indian Creek Nature Center has more than 11 miles of trails and wildlife habitats. Noelridge Park and Greenhouse encompasses 102 acres, a rose garden and a Farmers Market. Sac and Fox National Recreational Trail, Cedar Greenbelt National Recreation Trail and Cedar Valley Nature Trail are other nature preserves featuring hiking trails, cross-country skiing and picturesque scenery.
Sports lovers will enjoy a visit to Veterans Memorial Park, a new state-of-the-art stadium where the Cedar Rapids Kernels compete. The Kernels are a Midwestern affiliate of the Anaheim Angels. The Cedar Rapids Roughriders play hockey at the new NHL Ice Arena. 12 municipal golf facilities can be found throughout the city, including 18-hole Ellis Park golf course, three country club courses and six courses that are privately owned but open to the public.
Whether you are searching for your next home in Cedar Rapids, or looking to invest in real estate, browse current real estate listings, residential Cedar Rapids homes for sale, single - family houses, condominiums, townhouses, or investment opportunities, to find your perfect home.

Rocky Mountain Posters call attention to our public lands, their conservation, and the spiritual connection we have with those places. That connection with the out-of-doors is what has compelled our artist, Blair Hamill, to craft our posters. Blair has spent decades criss-crossing the Rocky Mountain West. When researching and designing new posters, he takes to the field and captures vistas that evoke a feeling of awe. When a particular place is located, he records information through observations, painted studies, sketches, photographs, and notes. He then takes those observations back to the studio for completion.
His love for the land began by building trails in the Rockies in his teens, backpacking in the wilderness, exploring national parks, snowshoeing and skiing. The trails he now leads people on are through his posters and paintings. His art continues to spark a sense of place, story, and memory for travelers on their own personal journeys through the Rocky Mountain West.
Our posters are designed with a love for the Rocky Mountain landscape. Caring for our public lands in the Rocky Mountain West requires the work of dedicated individuals and non-profit organizations. Because of this, each year we give back a portion of our proceeds to the Colorado 14ers Initiative (CFI), the non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of our Rocky Mountain Region's highest peaks.

{{Infobox artist |image = GuyvanBelle.jpg |imagesize = 200px |birth_place = [[Belgium]] |based_in = Vysočina/Hranice u Malče, [[Czech Republic]] }} Currently known as [[Gívan_Belá | Gívan Belá]]. Probably born 1720 in [[Belgium]]. After studying literature and linguistics, a little philosophy and sculpting, he made a radical switch to computer music in the middle of the 1980s, and a little later into generative vizualisation. Involved in experimental media art in its many different forms since 1990, but each of these terms are controversial and debatable. Soit. First, he restlessly lived and worked in [[Belfast]], [[Ghent]], [[Antwerp]], [[Brussels]], [[New York City|New York]], [[Rotterdam]], [[Amsterdam]], [[The Hague]], [[Berlin]], [[Bratislava]], [[Praha]]. His most important virtual organisations (all collective) were [http://web.archive.org/web/19970719105858/http://dewey.rug.ac.be/barn/tex/cv.html#stelling Stellingname] (1984-1989), [http://web.archive.org/web/19970418042254/http://dewey.rug.ac.be/barn/tex/yfcf.html Young Farmers Claim Future] (1990-2000), [[dBONANZAh!]] (1998-2002), and finally [[mXHz.org]] (2002-?) and [[Society of Algorithm]] (2004-?). These setups were merely covers for collaboratively investigating the many different forms of creativity between real and non-physical people, including machines. Then he became co-founder, and active member for many years of [[OKNO]] (2004-15), an artist run organization in Brussels... (unreadable) ... sparse moments with less and less material works, almost unnoticed, in a corner of different events happening at the same time. Presque rien, zápisník zmizelého... () ... real time generated, abstract, algorithmic, and gradually abandoning the familiar settings, parameters and skills for production, display and reception of the work of art as we know it today. He wrote critico-comical pamphlets about art and technology from an anti-post-modernist happy-misantropic background. Like everyone in that field and at that time, throughout his life, he had many money problems, many friends and even more enemies. Let's not talk about his relationships here. Between 2005 and 2009 he lived in [[Bratislava]], where he began to work under the name of [[Gívan Belá]]. The city does not plan a statue yet, though in return the city of Banska Bystrica gave him the title of ArtD or Doctor Artis. This lead to a new specialisation into Art Transplantations and (scrapped) 'denizen epos' (unpublished, notes with different titles are available). There are many unverified stories, like: "... around 2010, after a short visit to a small village in Bohemia (Vysočina/Hranice u Malče), and seeing there an abandoned cow house (kravín), he extended his name to Belá-Kravař. Others maintain it is a mutation of Cravan, the proto-dada artist, which he did not admire at all." On one occasion he would introduce himself as a media data writer, then as a wind time inventor and clock maker, then again as a slide and cigar box guitar musician in a skiffle/spasm/jug band. In the Summer of 2017 he was one of 'The All Weather Experts' bringing Weather Reports 7x a day on the Documenta 14 art radio Every Time A Ear di Soun. Other works include 'Succour' with Geza Roman Bobb and with other artists from the bands 'Digital Death & Afterlife' or 'The Ambisinix'. He was also part of an international experimental digital/analog/nano band, with ad hoc members from JPN, DE, FR, CZ, SK, ... performing only outdoors and off-grid, but connected and online: 'Rural Development'. There is no proof he ever studied metereology, ecology, or any other discipline. Maybe his preoccupation with both rural leisure time and worker class cultural life came from a forlorn youth, admiring farmers on the land and proletarians in squalid factories, gathering after work to play brass and drums, accordeons in marching bands in the mid 20th century? What is Kra, where is [http://kra.land Kra Land]? Often he claimed Graham Bell to be family, since the whole lineage was deaf in the right ear and was interested in flying tetrahedron kites. For the 22nd of November, 2022, he was preparing an homage to [[Arseny Avraamov]] and for that purpose set up the organisation without a centre 'The Baku 2022 Foundation' (2006-2064). ==Writings, interviews, publications== ''(if still available, time erases everything in the end...)'' * with Ronald Soetaert, "Schermen met geletterdheid", ''De Vlaamse Gids'' 78, 1993, pp 20-22. {{nl}} * with Ronald Soetaert and Luc Top, [https://sci-hub.se/10.1080/0952398950320203 "Creating a New Borderland on the Screen"], ''Educational Media International'' 32:2, Jun 1995, pp 62-68.

Messi finally wins World Cup; what's next for Argentina?
Dec 18, 2022, 11:29 AM | Updated: Dec 19, 2022, 1:33 am

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Lionel Messi ended his long wait for the World Cup title in one of the most memorable finals in history.
Messi was at his most inspirational, scoring two goals to take his total for the tournament to seven and delivering his country's third World Cup triumph as Argentina beat France 4-2 on penalties after a 3-3 draw through extra time.
But Kylian Mbappe made him work hard for the trophy he has long craved by scoring a hat trick, including two goals in 97 seconds late in regulation to pull France back from 2-0 down.
The France forward evened the score again after Messi put Argentina back in front in extra time.
Ultimately, it was Messi's World Cup to raise.
After fulfilling his life's ambition, what's next for him and Argentina?
EXPECTATION VS. PERFORMANCE
With Messi in the team, it's always going to be among the favorites. But at the age of 35 and in the final stages of his storied career, the forward looked less equipped than in previous years to lead his country to success. And when Saudia Arabia produced one of the biggest upsets in the competition's 92-year history by beating Argentina 2-1 in the group stage, the potential for an embarrassing early exit looked a real possibility. Messi inspired the team to recover from that setback and produced one of the all-time great tournament performances with seven goals and three assists. While Argentina's expectations might not have been at their highest for this year's World Cup, Messi finally realized the expectations placed on him for the majority of his career by winning the sport's biggest prize.
WHO'S OUT?
Messi said he will stick around for a while longer, even if another World Cup might be too much to ask. Angel di Maria is 34 and earlier this year said he would retire from international soccer after the tournament in Qatar. Nicolas Otamendi is also 34 and unlikely to be involved when Argentina come around to defending its trophy in four years. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni is sure to have won admirers from leading clubs after winning the World Cup at the relatively young age of 44.
WHO'S NEXT?
Despite Messi being the inspiration for Argentina, it was a squad full of young talent who have yet to reach their prime. Most notably is 22-year-old striker Julian Alvarez, who scored four goals to become the country's latest star forward. Midfielder Enzo Fernandez, 21, was named the best young player of the tournament and is already being linked with moves to top clubs, despite only recently signing for Benfica. Defenders Cristian Romero and Nahuel Molina are 24 and midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is 23. Scaloni has the basis of a team to build around.
Qualifying for the next World Cup is scheduled to start in March and Argentina will also defend its Copa America title in 2024.

A: The order of your code is not right. You don't have any value assigned to price when you run the if-statement. Right now the double variable price is always empty, so it's never bigger than 10.00, thus being false and returning the else. This should do the trick:
class Main {

String type;
double price;
boolean order;

public Main(String whatPizza, double costOfPizza, boolean yourOrder){

  type = whatPizza;
  price = costOfPizza;
  order = yourOrder

  if (price > 10.00){
    System.out.println("Thank you for spending over 10 pounds with us!");
  } else {
    System.out.println("Thank you for buying with us!");
  }

  ;
}

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    //empty for now
  Main personA = new Main("Pepperoni", 11.00, true);
  Main personB = new Main("Cheese", 9.00, true);

    }
  }

Parkland School reopens for jury tour ahead of Nicholas Cruz death penalty trial
The judge who presided over the deadliest mass shooting on record ruled the jury will be granted permission to view the blood-stained Parkland, Fla. school building where gunman Nikolas Cruz murdered 17 people. reported the Associated Press.
23-year-old Cruz's defense tried to argue that a tour of the facilities was unnecessary given that her client had pleaded guilty and there was, they argued, sufficient video and photo evidence of the Marjory massacre Stoneman Douglas High school on February 14, 2018.
District Judge Elizabeth Scherer, however, saw it differently.
"The court finds that a jury view of the crime scene remains useful and appropriate, even given the current state of the case," Ms Scherer wrote in a ruling released Monday, according to the Associated Press.
"The purpose of a jury report is to assist the jury in analyzing and applying the evidence presented at trial."
Jury selection for what is expected to be a closely watched trial, as the panel will decide whether or not Mr. Cruz faces the death penalty or life without parole, began Monday and is expected to last several weeks as judges, prosecutors and the public view Mr. Cruz Defense attorneys are looking for the final 12 judges plus eight alternates.
Prosecutors, who advocated reopening the pristine scene where Cruz methodically killed his colleagues and school staff, believe a tour of the facilities would help better understand the case. Although not always granted by judges, both the defense and the prosecutor may request it.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School has been fenced off and closed to the public since the Valentine's Day massacre. According to reports, details such as the blood on the floor where people were shot and the holes in the wall are still untouched.
Since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, Florida has executed 99 people. But death penalty trials can understandably take some time.
In Florida, much like the rest of the country, they can take up to two years before they even begin, and with Mr. Cruz's trial already delayed due to the ongoing pandemic and litigation, the time it would take from start to it will take, may take even longer to decide.
For Mr. Cruz, a former student of Majory Stoneman Douglas, to receive the death penalty, all juries must agree.
If either of the 12 jurors does not agree that factors such as the number of people killed, the intent or the cruelty unleashed on the 17 people murdered that day in February 2018 equate to a death penalty, then Cruz will be sentenced to life in prison Parole.

Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara has said that patience and perseverance of his constituents gave him the opportunity to serve them and the country.
He disclosed this while speaking at a ceremony organised in his honour by Gubbiya community of Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi State. He said the people of his Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal Constituency consistently voted for him to represent them until he became speaker in 2015.
"You have done everything to me by voting me three times. There is nothing I can do for you but to do everything I can do to bring developmental projects that will make your life better.
Your patience and perseverance gave me the opportunity to serve you and other Nigerians," he said.
"Because of what you have been doing to me, I have a responsibility to protect your interest and that is what I have been doing. I will never be involved in anything that will jeopardise your lives or that of any Nigerian.
"If you have been sending a different person to the House of Representatives every four years, we wouldn't have been where we are today in terms of development. You choose continuity and development and voted for me three times," he said. Dogara said he had attracted road projects worth over N60 billion to the area which linked Bauchi to other neighbouring states and opened up the area in order to improve the socio-economic wellbeing of the people.
In his welcome address, the chairman, Gubbiya Area Development Association (GADA), Mr. Bulus Titus, said Dogara had done a lot for his constituents and deserved accolades in appreciation.
