Il santuario della Celletta, dedicato alla Beata Vergine Maria, si trova al limitare dell'abitato di Argenta, sulla strada statale 16 Adriatica in direzione di Ravenna.

Storia e descrizione
Nel 1490 fu costruita, in seguito al voto fatto da un abitante, a poca distanza dal Po di Primaro, una piccola cappella chiamata dagli abitanti Celletta.

Il santuario odierno però fu innalzato per far fronte al crescente numero di fedeli che accorrevano in seguito a un'apparizione mariana, avvenuta secondo la tradizione nel 1606.

La progettazione del santuario venne affidata all'argentano Marco Nicolò Balestri e, alla sua morte, fu portata a termine da Giovan Battista Aleotti. L'edificio non fu danneggiato dal grave terremoto del 1624.

Ha pianta ellittica con elementi classicheggianti. Fu gravemente danneggiato nel 1945 e restaurato nel 1954.

All'interno si trovava una tela di Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo, attualmente conservata nel Museo civico.

Kamstrup
INDUSTRY: ENERGY AND UTILITIES
Energy company removes local servers and centralises IT systems
without affecting employee productivity
Kamstrup, a technology company headquartered in Denmark, wanted to centralise its IT systems and its data backup system to a central data centre.
Consolidate IT systems from 15 remote locations to a central data centre in order to reduce costs, improve data backup and simplify IT management
17 Riverbed Steelhead appliances
Riverbed Management Console (CMC)
Consolidated IT Servers and backup system to a central data centre
50-70% increase in file download speeds
Currently removed five local servers with plans to remove all local servers
7x reduction in bandwidth utilisation
Energy Company Removes Local Servers and Centralises IT Systems Without Affecting Employee Productivity
Kamstrup A/S (www.kamstrup.dk) is a technology company with its headquarters in Denmark. The company manufactures systems solutions for energy metering and has around 700 employees. Its turnover is DKK 1 billion (134 million). Kamstrup has offices in 15 countries across Europe, Middle East and China, and operates in over 40 countries in Europe and Asia.
Challenge: Consolidate IT and backup systems without affecting employee performance
Kamstrup A/S wanted to centralise its IT systems to a central data centre based at its headquarters in Denmark, and remove local servers from 15 branch offices, in order to reduce costs and simplify its IT infrastructure. The company also wanted to consolidate and centralise its data backup system, which was also to be located at its headquarters. Kamstrup employees rely upon Microsoft SharePoint, Dynamics and Exchange to conduct day to day business activities.
Consolidation can bring many benefits, but the challenge is to reduce the IT infrastructure without adversely affecting employee productivity. For many distributed organisations moving from a local area network (LAN) to a wide area network (WAN) can result in poor application performance with employees losing time whilst waiting to access files and data. So it was vital that Kamstrup's branch offices would not be adversely affected by the company's IT consolidation plans.
Solution: Riverbed Steelhead appliances enable consolidation of IT and data backup systems
Kamstrup identified that a WAN optimisation solution would enable it to remove local servers and centralise its IT systems without adversely affecting employee performance, but the challenge for Kamstrup was to find the best solution for its needs. The company evaluated systems from both Cisco and Riverbed. As Jesper Lasthein Hansen, IT manager at Kamstrup explains, "We decided not to test the Cisco product as it was deemed to be too complex to set up. We really needed a solution that would be straight-forward to install and manage." He continues, "In contrast the Riverbed solution was ideal for our requirements. It really was a 'plug and play' solution."
Benefits: IT and backup systems centralised, employee performance unaffected and 7x reduction in bandwidth utilisation
Kamstrup has deployed 17 Riverbed Steelhead appliances across its operations in Europe and Asia, and the Riverbed Central Management Console (CMC) at its data centre. "Deployment has been a very easy and smooth process with even non-IT staff able to set up the appliances," says Hansen. "We've also found the maintenance of the appliances to be straight-forward using the CMC."
With the Steelhead appliances installed Kamstrup has been able to consolidate its IT and data backup systems to its data centre. The company has already removed five local servers and plans to remove more as the consolidation project continues. Time taken to download files and applications has improved by an average of 60% and employees have remarked upon this improvement as Hansen explains, "There has been a great amount of positive feedback from employees working in the branch offices, and we have had no complaints from users when we've removed the local servers.
In fact we now have employees telling us that since the centralisation project they've noticed a reduction in the time taken to access key applications such as Exchange, Dynamics and SharePoint."
Moving to a centralised system has also resulted in substantial cost savings for the company as it no longer needs to manage and maintain local servers. Recently Kamstrup opened two new sales offices in Europe and the Middle East. In the past each new office would have required at least one local server, but instead Kamstrup has installed Steelhead appliances at these two offices, so avoiding the costs associated with local servers.
Kamstrup also has a secure data backup system with data being backed up over the WAN and then replicated. By centralising this process the organisation no longer needs to rely upon local staff to backup data as Hansen notes, "In Norway and Sweden we relied upon local employees and an external company to manage our data backups.
Now with Riverbed in place, those employees can focus on their day jobs and not IT, and we have been able to terminate our agreement with the external agency. Riverbed has enabled us to deliver greater business efficiencies and savings back to the company." The company has also seen a 7x reduction in bandwidth utilisation, which means Kamstrup does not need to upgrade its bandwidth requirements for the immediate future.
Kamstrup plans to remove all local servers from all of its sales offices, starting with its offices in China, and as part of that policy will look to exploit further the opportunities around the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP). The RSP enables organisations to run up to five applications on a virtual platform, and allows companies to further consolidate at the branch office layer by removing the need for file/print and DNS and DHCP servers.
Kamstrup wanted to centralise its IT and data backup systems in order to reduce costs and simplify its IT infrastructure. However the company was concerned that moving from a decentralised system to a centralised one would result in poor application performance for users trying to access data and files over the WAN.
By choosing a WAN optimisation solution from Riverbed Kamstrup has been able to centralise its IT systems without affecting employee performance, increase application performance speeds by an average of 60%, reduce the number of local servers, see a 7x reduction in bandwidth utilisation and reduce overall IT management costs. In addition users have commented that since the centralisation project they can now access key applications, such as Microsoft SharePoint and Dynamics, in far less time than previously.
"The Riverbed solution was ideal. It really was a 'plug and play' solution."
"There has been a great amount of positive feedback from employees and we've had no complaints when we've removed local servers."
"Riverbed has enabled us to deliver greater business efficiencies and savings back to the company."

International watch: Eidur Gudjohnsen scores on Iceland return
Veteran forward nets 25th international goal against Kazakhstan
Eidur Gudjohnsen marked his Iceland return with a goal as they beat Kazakhstan 3-0 in their latest Euro 2016 qualifier.
Making his first appearance for his country since their World Cup play-off exit to Croatia in November 2013, Iceland's record goalscorer wasted no time in reintroducing himself to supporters, as he side-footed home in the 20th minute to fire his nation ahead.
Completing 83 minutes before being substituted, the strike from the edge of the area was Gudjohnsen's 25th international goal and first for five-and-a-half years.
Next up for Eidur and Iceland is a friendly with Estonia on Tuesday 31 March (6pm).
Coming on as a 74th minute substitute against Gilbraltar, Barry Bannan was also in the thick of the action as Scotland recorded a 6-1 victory at Hampden Park on Sunday night.
An unused sub for the Scots against Northern Ireland last week, Bannan helped Jordan Rhodes create Steven Fletcher's second goal of the night within moments of coming on, before setting up the Sunderland man for his hat-trick himself in the dying embers of the match.
Elsewhere in Euro 2016 qualification, Simeon Slavchev came on for the final five minutes to win his fourth international cap as Bulgaria drew 2-2 at home to Italy.
Meanwhile, Adam Bogdan was an unused substitute in Hungary's latest Euro 2016 qualifier as they drew 0-0 at home to Greece, while Tim Ream was also an unused substitute as USA lost 3-2 to Denmark in an international friendly.
In UEFA Under 21 European Championship qualification, Conor Wilkinson completed 72 minutes as Republic of Ireland started their campaign with 1-0 home victory over Andorra.

Of all the mega-bands of the 20th century, the Rolling Stones were by far one of the best dressed. It's no wonder their famous rock offspring, like Mick Jagger's model daughter Georgia May, have been documented as rummaging through their fathers' closets for very chic hand-me-downs. The lucky things. This group will forever be exalted for their sound, but the adjoining wardrobe is forever etched into fashion's history books too.
So Harry Styles may think he has first dibs on Mr. Jagger's slick style in 2016, but with the original musos now setting up their own touring exhibition—aptly entitled Exhibitionism, open now at the Saatchi Gallery in London and featuring just about everything Rolling Stones–related you could think of—a lot of other boys (and girls) are going to be plundering the archive for inspiration.
Bell-sleeve blouses? Skinny scarves with everything? Velvet jackets? All very RS. In fact, all rather Gucci S/S 16. Scroll down to see what we mean, then shop a few pieces we've found in homage.
Here's Mick Jagger giving good choker in 1969.
The street style king before there was even street style: Here's Mick looking pretty swish in 1970s London.
Where to begin? We'll start with Mr. Jagger's paisley top, please.
Another Rolling Stones–style print extravaganza. Think we may take a tip from this: Wear a clashing neck scarf with your patterned shirt.
Matching suits for Mick and Bianca Jagger's airport style in 1970—the pair was off to the Bahamas!
What was more important—ties or hats?
Striped trousers + velvet peacoats = a weekend outfit idea we could definitely work with.
Statement jackets were key for the band—and key for the here and now, too!

Tag: Film Adaptation
'The Father' depicts dementia in suspenseful realism
Dementia is a land where its inhabitants can never come out, and visitors can only look in from the outside. To add to the isolation, they speak a different language outsiders don't understand.
In his role as an 80-year-old man afflicted with dementia in The Father, Anthony Hopkins has shown he's an apt interpreter of that language. With his astute performance, the iconic British actor becomes the oldest person to win an acting Oscar this April, his second after The Silence of the Lamb in 1992.
The Father is based on the 2012 play Le Père by French playwright director Florian Zeller. It received the Molière Award for Best Play in 2014. The English version was translated by Christopher Hampton in 2016 and performed on Broadway. Hampton and Zeller co-wrote the adaptation to film. At this year's Academy Awards, they won Best Adapted Screenplay. This is Hampton's second Oscar win for writing; his first was for Dangerous Liaison in 1988. And for Zeller, his debut feature garnered six Oscar nominations including Best Picture.
Zeller's intriguing way of storytelling lets viewers experience vicariously what a dementia sufferer goes through. First off, it is uncanny that Hopkins's character is named Anthony. The film is shot from his point-of-view.
The editing by Yorgos Lamprinos strings together seamlessly the conflicting perspectives of Anthony's: the mingling of memories, the confusion of happenings and imagination, the loss of a timeframe for past events, the distortion of present realities, and perhaps most disturbing for those close to him: unrecognizable faces. Describing how Zeller achieve these effects will be like giving out spoilers. I'll just say this, The Father is like the Rashomon of dementia.
Zeller's film is cinematic realism depicting the condition of dementia. The confused, bewildered look of Hopkins in close ups is accompanied by repetitive, eerie music, rendering the scenes suspenseful, not far from a Hitchcockian thriller. When one has lost the capacity of one's brain, it is a scary experience. Anthony knows his way down the hallway to his room, but is this his flat? Where's his watch, again? And, what happened to that painting that used to be hanging on the wall? The cast of seven brings out a powerful narrative in just 97 minutes.
Another realistic portrayal is Olivia Colman as the daughter Anne, who has to convince her father that he needs help. She struggles with the conflict between filial love and personal freedom, her husband (Rufus Sewell) does not make things easier for her either. And to complicate matter further, Anne is not her father's favourite but her younger sister Lucy…
We've had a couple of excellent films on the subject of aging and dementia in the past. Away from Her (2006) directed by Sarah Polley who adapted Alice Munro's short story is about a wife stricken by Alzheimer's, and Michael Heneke's Amour (2012) narrates an aging husband caring for his debilitated wife after her stroke, both received Oscar nods. Zeller has contributed to this repertoire of films with a perspective from the point-of view of the patient, adding to it a daughter's internal conflicts.
No matter how much Anne tries to keep her father living with her, his condition needs professional care and monitoring, something she finds hard to get through to a dementia patient who is determined to be self-reliant. Colman's performance is sensitive and moving.
A very clever man, this father hasn't totally lost it. The scene where he meets his new caregiver Laura (Imogen Poots) in Anne's home shows how sharp he can still be, and not just Anthony the character, but Hopkins the actor, who is in his top form.
Original music is by Ludovico Einaudi (Nomadland, 2020) whose score reflects the mental state of Anthony's, enhancing the cinematic effects. The opera music at the beginning of the film which Anthony is listening to, and later reprises is from Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles. The poignant piece is his link to the person he once was, the song entitled Je crois entendre encore: 'I believe I still hear.'
Eventually, the inevitable question has to be asked by Anthony, an antithesis to a cathartic ending: 'Who exactly am I?'

In the worlds of martial arts and LEAN, a Sensei is a teacher, a coach, a mentor. How could those qualities help you and your organization?
For most of us, coaching ended when we left high school, or maybe college, but think back to what your coach did for you. Didn't they teach you a new skill? Didn't they help you practice that skill over and over until you perfected it?
Wouldn't it be great to have someone who could not only teach you the tenets of LEAN, but who could then coach you as you perfected your use of them?
Few of us had a real mentor, a trusted advisor who was further along the path of knowledge than us, and who helped us through the more challenging parts. In LEAN organizations, it's critical to make good decisions more quickly than our competition. Mentors can help us do just that.

Coudersport Area Municipal Authority Treatment Plant ControversyEdit
The Coudersport Area Municipal Authority (CAMA) became involved in a controversial proposal for a fracking wastewater plant in early 2018.[6] CAMA services Sweden Township.[7] JKLM Energy intends to truck "produced water" (fracking wastewater) to a centralized plant for treatment to be located adjacent to the CAMA plant in Eulalia Township, Pennsylvania, when and if the plant is approved and licensed by governmental authorities. The treated wastewater then will be transferred to CAMA for disposal into the headwaters of the Allegheny River.[8]
The plant proposal is opposed by many residents Potter County as well as by the Seneca Nation of Indians who reside downriver from the proposed plant location.[9][10][11][12][13] The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection fined JKLM $472,317 in 2016 for groundwater contamination caused by the use of an unapproved surfactant during the drilling of a natural gas well. The contamination impacted six private drinking water wells in Sweden and Eulalia townships, Potter County.[14] The Cattaugus County, New York, legislature as well as New York State Senator Catharine Young have joined the Seneca Nation in opposition to the proposed fracking wastewater plant.[15][16] Additionally, the Coudersport Bourough (PA) Council voted to oppose the siting of the plant near Coudersport.[17][18][19] The Coudersport Borough Council's resolution of opposition was forwarded to the Coudersport Area Municipal Authority (CAMA), who has not yet considered it in a public forum.[20][21]

Q: Integrate Unity to Android Studio I really tried to find any tutorial or help but doesn't end well so.
My question is:
I have an Unity Project, but I want to integrate with Android Studio, my idea is to make a APP in Android Studio, then with a button I want to call the Scene from Unity and add a button in Unity to go back to Android Studio.
I read a lot of tutorials from 2014 to 2017 I think but none of those works, also I export Unity Project and then Import in Android Studio but same result.

*

*Android Studio 3.2

*Unity 2018.2.9f1 (64-bit)

A: The way i do it is to generate an .aar of the Unity project and use it as library in my main Android project.Also use android studio 2.3.3 version, for some reason Unity's export project isn't compatible with the newest android studio version.

House Subpoenas Treasury, IRS to Obtain Trump's Tax Returns
Laura Davison
House Democrats issued two subpoenas to compel Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig to release President Donald Trump's tax returns, House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal said.The move is Neal's latest attempt to obtain six years of the president's personal and business tax information after Mnuchin rejected his initial request on May 6. Neal and the chairmen of the two other tax-writing committees have the statutory authority to ask the Treasury for the return of any taxpayer, including the president's. Neal gave Mnuchin and Rettig until May 17 to turn over the documents.
"While I do not take this step lightly, I believe this action gives us the best opportunity to succeed and obtain the requested material," Neal said in a statement. "I sincerely hope that the Treasury Department will furnish the requested material in the next week so the committee can quickly begin its work."
Mnuchin said Neal's initial request lacked a legitimate legislative purpose. He didn't immediately respond to a request to comment about the subpoena.
The subpoenas set up what could be one of the biggest legal showdowns between the Trump administration and a Congress intent on investigating the president. Trump broke with 40 years of presidential campaign tradition in refusing to release his tax returns. That has led some Democrats to speculate that he has ties to foreign businesses or cheated on his taxes.
A Treasury spokesperson confirmed they received the subpoena. The IRS didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Neal's stated reason for requesting Trump's tax returns is that he wants to ensure the IRS is properly auditing the president and vice president each year. Mnuchin said handing over the documents would be a violation of Trump's privacy and that he can't "lawfully fulfill" the request.
White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said in an interview for "The Takeout" podcast this week that Congress will never get to see Trump's tax returns because "they're not entitled to see that by law."
Democrats, citing a section of the tax code from 1924, say the law is on their side. The law allows the chairmen of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees and the Joint Committee on Taxation to request the tax returns of any taxpayer and that the Treasury secretary "shall" provide them.
The law doesn't say that Neal needs a legislative purpose to ask for the documents.
Representative Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, has staunchly opposed Neal's efforts to obtain the tax returns. Brady, in a letter to Neal on Friday, said that Democrats are seeking the returns "not to further a valid legislative purpose, but instead to try to embarrass a political enemy."
The interpretation of Neal's authority in the law "should turn on its clear language and Congress' intent when it was created," George Yin, a former chief of staff at the Joint Committee on Taxation, said in a recent article. "In this case, as it happens, both the letter and the intent of the law lead to the same conclusion: Congress is entitled to the president's tax information, no questions asked."
The White House and Congress are battling over several other attempts to scrutinize Trump.
Acting in his capacity as a private citizen, Trump and his umbrella Trump Organization, sued to block the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to prevent it from obtaining tax records from his longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA LLP. A similar suit, seeking to prevent the release to the house of bank records from Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp. is pending in a Manhattan federal court.
The administration told former White House Counsel Don McGahn to ignore a House Judiciary Committee subpoena demanding documents related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Trump also exerted executive privilege over Mueller's report about Russian interference in the 2016 election and underlying evidence as House Democrats were preparing to vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to release the full document.


A week or two ago Western Digital announced their new WD Blue SN500 series NVMe SSDs. A value NVMe proposition that is capable of rattling some cages. We had the opportunity to test the 250GB model thoroughly. This NVMe once again SSD has SanDisk written all over it, literally. The Western Digital WD Blue SN500 is an M.2 2280 SSD with a storage capacity of 250 GB and is also available in a 500 GB version. The drive uses the PCIe Gen3 8 Gb/s, up to 2 lanes. According to Western Digital, the SSD achieves read speeds of up to 1700 MB/s and write speeds of up to 1450 MB/s. WD having acquired Sandisk, that NAND would be produced by them.
The new SN500 SSD allows you to purchase NVMe storage in the 20 cents per GB region. Currently, that's just over 50 EUR for the 250GB model, and the 500 GB model is actually selling at just over 80 EUR (with similar prices for USD). The performance will differ with different volume sizes, but smaller versions use less NAND channels and thus have slower writing. That said, whatever size you choose, the perf will be great and delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 1,700 MB/s and 1,450 MB/s respectively (for 500 GB model) and 1,300 MB/s writes for the 250GB model with efficient power consumption as low as 2.7W. The random performance rated up-to 200~300 random read IOPS writes for 4K IOPS. Being M.2., you do need a modern motherboard with capable NVMe supported M.2 (PCI-Express Gen 3.0 x2 connected) interface, please do check out your motherboard manufacturer for that. But ever the past year or two all Intel and AMD chipset released in the mainstream to high-end class support it very well. M2 is interesting stuff, these smaller form factors storage units are evolving from being "just as fast" as a regular SSD towards double, tripling, heck... even quadrupling that performance. It comes in a different package, M.2. The M.2 interface is so much more capable as it can deal with way more bandwidth using PCI-Express lanes. As such, M.2 solutions are intended for enthusiast class motherboards. The series M.2 SSDs are a breathtaking series of storage technology as they offer enthusiast class performance yet remain reasonable in pricing depending on NAND type.
The SSD is WDs latest iteration of their consumer-ready Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) M.2 form factor SSD series. The SSDs have been fitted with Sandisk NAND (64-layer) and a SanDisk NVMe controller. This means WD can fabricate pretty much everything in-house. The claimed endurance, or the total amount of data that can be written to the SSD, is also half the size of the more expensive model (SN750): 300 TB for the 500 GB model and 150 TB for the 250 GB model. The SSD follows a smaller M.2 2280 (8cm) form factor so it will fit on most ATX motherboards capable of M.2 just fine. SSDs in the 250GB range is becoming less attractive - they contain fewer memory chips, the speed is often lower, and because the basic production costs are (almost) the same as those of higher-capacity units, they are relatively expensive. Next tot hat, most people deem ~500 GB NAND flash storage to be a good default value for a modern day 2019 PC.
Aside from the 2 PCIe lanes, the performance in most benchmarks will be excellent, especially comparing towards the regular SATA3 SSD this is a cheaper choice whilst offering faster performance. By the way, Western Digital offers an excellent 5-years warranty on this product. Have a peek, and then let's head onwards into this review.

Pages from the book
Erotic From the Sanskrit (An Anthology)
by R. Parthasarathy
Look Inside the Book
Classical Sanskrit literature boasts an exquisite canon of poetry devoted to erotic love. In Erotic Poems from the Sanskrit, noted translator and scholar R. Parthasarathy curates a selection in a new verse translation that introduces readers to Sanskrit poetry in a modern English vernacular. The volume features works by seventy-two poets, including seven women poets and thirty-five anonymous poets, primarily composed between the fourth and seventeenth centuries, as well as a detailed introduction that explains how to read and appreciate the poems in English.
"Poet R. Parthasarathy's Erotic Poems from the Sanskrit is a masterful work of literary art, illuminating for modern readers the spirit of eros across more than eleven centuries. Parthasarathy deftly preserves the polysemic richness of Sanskrit, and in his English versions we glimpse what is half-clothed, half-unseen, neither concealed nor exposed: the body's scent, secret places, desire and the vicissitudes of stolen, illicit, and furtive love, inscribed in marks of teeth and nails on skin, gestures of surrender, a broken string of pearls scattered across a bed, water drops shaken from unkempt hair, the moment when the silk wrap comes loose. These are beautiful transcriptions of human love, at once ancient, mysterious, and contemporary, a magnificent achievement."
This selection of poems is personal; it does not attempt to be representative of Sanskrit poetry in general. It comprises poems that I have enjoyed reading and that have excited me. I have also selected them because I found these poems manageable within the resources of modern English verse. The selection is intended for the general reader and lovers of poetry who might want to know what Sanskrit poetry is like. It offers a salutary corrective to the notion, still prevalent in the West, that Indians in the past were predominantly otherworldly and spiritually minded. Nothing could be further from the truth. These poems reflect a culture that celebrates the pleasures of the flesh without any inhibition in a language that never gives offense, that never crosses the line but always observes the canons of good taste. In this the Sanskrit poets are our contemporaries despite the centuries that separate us. The poems speak simply and passionately to a wide range of human experience—love fulfilled and love unfulfilled, old age, poverty, asceticism, and nature—in a voice that moves us even today.
The introduction makes no pretense to scholarship; it attempts to pro-vide some basic information to the reader who comes to Sanskrit poetry for the first time and who needs guidance on how to read a Sanskrit poem in translation. The notes at the back of the book throw light on specific elements of the poems such as language, imagery, and tone as well as on culture-specific references. My goal is a modest one: to awaken the interest of the reader in the poem by providing him or her with such tools as are necessary for the enterprise. Wherever possible, the poems are read in a comparative context, with examples from Greek, Latin, English, Chinese, Tamil, and Prakrit poetry.
Erotic Poems from the Sanskrit comprises poems by seventy-two poets, including seven women poets and thirty-five anonymous poets, from sixteen works composed, with two exceptions, between the fourth and seventeenth centuries. The poets are presented alphabetically for the convenience of the reader.
For a long time, three anthologies of Sanskrit poetry in English translation have held the field: Ingalls (1965),' Brough (1968), and Merwin and Masson (1977). These anthologies have contributed significantly to our understanding and enjoyment of Sanskrit poetry. Since then, other translations of Sanskrit poetry have appeared and enriched the field: Miller (1978), Selby (2000),and Bailey and Gombrich (2005) Erotic Poems from the Sanskrit builds upon the work of these distinguished translators. It offers a new verse translation that introduces the richness and variety of Sanskrit poetry to a new generation of readers in a robust, contemporary English idiom that captures, insofar as possible, the tone and register of the Sanskrit originals. The translations are, above all, English poems that can be read with pleasure by readers of poetry.
Love in all its aspects is a favorite theme of the Sanskrit poets. Poems on the topic of erotic love (keima) form the centerpiece of the anthologies, and the translations reflect this preference. The poems are often sexually explicit but they never offend our taste. In their openness to the sexual experience, they have a contemporary flavor to them. Readers who wish to have a greater understanding of Sanskrit erotic poetry might want to familiarize themselves with the conventions of the erotic mood spelled out in such texts as Vatsyayana's Kamasutra (The book of love, 4th cent.) or Kaalyanamalla's Anagaranga(The stage of the Bodiless One, 16th cent.). Sanskrit erotic poetry has few equals, with the possible exception of the erotic poems in the so-called Greek Anthology, compiled by the Byzantine scholar Constantinus Cephalas in the tenth century in Constantinople.
Translation from one language into another involves some loss, as the Buddhist monk and prolific translator Kumarajiva (344-413) famously reminded us: "In the process of translating a Sanskrit text into Chinese it loses all its nuances. . . . it's something like chewing cooked rice and then feeding it to another person. Not only has it lost its flavor; it will also make him want to throw up." Despite the eminent monk's opinion, it is possible to carry across the flavor of a poem from one language to another. And that is precisely what this selection has attempted to do.
Among the problems I wrestled with in making these translations, the hardest one perhaps was how to make the Sanskrit poems heard in English. Here tone and register are crucial factors. English does not have a tradition of erotic poetry comparable to that of Sanskrit. The sexual explicitness of some of the poems may not be to the taste of some readers. As a result, I had to modify the tone and register without compromising the integrity of the poems. In translating from Sanskrit into English, one translates not just the text but also an entire culture and worldview that remain hidden like so many roots beneath the text.
THE ROLE OF THE POET
What precisely was the role of the poet in the Indian tradition? In the Rig Veda (ca. 1200-900 B.c.E.) we are told,
Varuna confided in me, the wise one
Thrice seven names has the cow. Who knows the trail
should whisper them like secrets, if he is to speak
to future generations as an inspired poet.
According to the commentator Sayana (14th cent.), speech (vac) in the form of a cow (aghnya) has twenty-one meters corresponding to her breast, throat, and head. Only after the intervention of Varuna (Vedic god of natural and moral law) does the poet who is the wise one (medhira) become the inspired one (vipra). His exceptional knowledge imposes a responsibility on him. He is both the keeper and the transmitter of the tradition that regarded poetry as a way of knowledge. It was believed that the spo-ken word, properly formulated, could produce a physical effect on the world. The word was invested with sacred power. This image of the poet as a seer (rsi) in the Vedic period gives way in later times to that of the poet as a learned man of refined sensibility and taste (kavi) who made his living as a court poet. Not all poets were, however, fortunate enough to make their living as court poets. The case of the Kashmiri poet Bilhana (11th cent.) comes to mind. After many unsuccessful attempts to find a patron, he eventually found one in the Calukya king Vikramaditya VI Tribhuvanamalla (r. 1076-1126) of Kalyana (present-day Basavakalyan in Bidar District, Karnataka). He repaid his patron a hundredfold by composing a fulsome panegyric in his honor, The Deeds of His Majesty Vikramanka (Vikramankadevacarita).
The twelfth-century poet and critic Ksemendra, also from Kashmir, takes an exalted view of the poet's vocation.
A poet should learn with his eyes
the forms of leaves
he should know how to make
people laugh when they are together
he should get to see
what they are really like
he should know about oceans and mountains
in themselves
s and the sun and the moon and the stars
his mind should enter into the seasons
he should go among many people in many places and learn their languages.
Works on poetics, such as Rajasekhara's (10th cent.) An Inquiry into Poetry (Kavyamimamsa), offer elaborate accounts of a poet's education and of the faculties he must possess in order to be a poet."' His readers and listeners would, like him, be connoisseurs (sahrdayas) and would be educated and endowed with similar faculties. Poetry was a highly cultivated art. It was patronized by kings and flourished in their courts. A. Berriedale Keith has described the situation well: "The great poets of India wrote for audiences of experts; they were masters of the learning of their day, long trained in the use of language, and they aimed to please by subtlety, not simplicity of effect. They had at their disposal a singularly beautiful speech, and they commanded elaborate and most effective metres."
Sanskrit literary culture has been the subject of research and study in recent years. I have provided, wherever necessary, historical contexts for the poets: the circumstances and constraints under which they wrote, the sort of reception their work received, and the frustrations they experienced in their search for a patron. Sanskrit was an "artificial" language learned after a "natural" language (Prakrit) had been learned. It was restricted to the educated classes and was used in the courts and in religious institutions. As a pan-Indian language, it was not tied to any specific region. As a result, Sanskrit poetry came to have a pan-Indian audience. The court was the epicenter of Sanskrit literary culture. it included poets, scholars, professional reciters of poetry, and storytellers. At poets' gatherings organized by the court, poems were recited or sung; poetry was not meant to be read. Poets flocked to the court in search of patronage; in return, they sang the praises of the king.
The Sanskrit poet rarely expresses his own thoughts and feelings. The notion of individual self-expression was foreign to the culture at that time. What the poet expresses are the thoughts and feelings of the personae in a given situation: the unfaithful husband returning home at dawn after a night with a courtesan, the wife overjoyed on seeing her husband return from his travels abroad, the hermit expressing his disaffection with the world, and so on. The poet's originality lies in the way he exploits words, images, and meter, in fact all the resources of the language, to make an expertly crafted poem that would redound to his glory.

Big Walnut Superintendent Angie Pollock, left, and bond/levy issue campaign chair Tara Shelby speak at a Sunbury/Big Walnut Area Chamber of Commerce event last Friday.
The Big Walnut Local School District is back on the ballot after last year's defeat with a combined bond issue and permanent improvement levy.
"We're trying to be proactive and prepare for the growth that's coming," said Superintendent Angie Pollock at the Sunbury/Big Walnut Area Chamber of Commerce candidates' breakfast on Friday.
According to the district, there were 3,734 students this summer; with projected enrollment figures of 4,372 in 2020 and 5,452 in 2025.
The total ballot millage is 7.85 mills — a $108 million, 6.6-mill bond and 1.25-mill permanent improvement levy.
There would be a three-year phase in, Pollock said.
Big Walnut, which has received "Excellent with Distinction" report card ratings in the past, continues to achieve academically under the state's new grading system.
"We have the highest Grade Point Average in Delaware County, and one of the best in central Ohio with the lowest millage," Pollock said.
Pollock will answer questions about the Nov. 7 ballot issue from 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 25 and from 7:30 to 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Sunbury/Big Walnut Area Chamber of Commerce's meeting room, 39 E. Granville St., Sunbury.
Facebook responses to recent news articles have mostly favored support for Big Walnut. In addition, informal discussions with people who have ties to the district either as residents or stakeholders reveal a guarded optimism that the bond/levy will pass this time around, and that last year's defeat was in part due to an unusual national election.

A: I can see that you are using react router so you can use useHistory hook to handle this case as the following:
const navigate = useNavigate(); // import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom";
const submitHandler = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    dispatch(login(email, password));
    navigate('/your-route'); // redirects to /your-route
};

A: I think you have misused the useSearchParams hook, or rather, accessing specific queryString parameters. The searchParams is a URLSearchParams object, so you should just get the queryString parameter by key.
Example:
const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams();

...

useEffect(() => {
  if (userInfo) {
    const redirect = searchParams.get("redirect");
    navigate(redirect || "/"); // <-- fallback to some defined page route
  }
}, [navigate, userInfo, searchParams]);

Transforming Young Men Since 1923
HVAL Champions - 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2011
From its beginning, the tennis program at South Kent has focused on integrity, self-discipline and hard work. The program attempts to instill these values in its players, as well as concentrate on the fundamentals. Although tennis is a sport of individuals, the tennis program emphasizes its need for each player on the team, without which there could be no overall match victory. The varsity program competes in the Hudson Valley Athletic League (HVAL) with other schools of similar size as well as schools that are larger. Since joining the HVAL in the spring of 1999, the team has been undefeated in league play and has captured many league championships. The team also gained a birth in the New England Interscholastic Tennis Association tournament during the 2000 season. These accomplishments have come through the hard work and determination of the players.
South Kent believes strongly in sportsmanship and participation. We strive to help each player compete to the best of his ability, whether he is an accomplished tennis player or someone picking up the racket for the first time. Our goal is to create a team from a group of individuals, and win a championship by playing top-level tennis with determination and integrity. We strive to win, but understand that the outcome of a match does not determine internal success. We want our athletes to compete for every point no matter what the score and expect them to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

Nuketown to be added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on Nov. 13
The BO4 version may have been overrun by Russians.

One of the most popular maps in Call of Duty history will be coming to Black Ops 4 very soon.
Nuketown, which has appeared in every Black Ops title, will be added to Black Ops 4 on PlayStation 4 on Nov. 13, Treyarch announced on Twitter. The official CoD Twitter account tweeted a message in Russian, with a short video attached.
Call of Duty on Twitter
📡 Добро пожаловать обратно. Coming to PS4 on November 13. #BlackOps4 https://t.co/TbYhcUM5iq
The Russian message, according to Google Translate, means "welcome back." And while the tweet didn't specifically mention Nuketown, the video showed an image of Nuketown's billboard, which noticeably sported a Soviet Union-inspired look.
This would be the fourth title in which Nuketown was included, with the first edition appearing in the original Black Ops title. The map has obviously changed over the years, being updated each time to fit the game's time period.
While the map was not included on the Oct. 12 launch date of Black Ops 4, Treyarch promised to deliver one of its most iconic maps pretty soon after release. In a June live stream, the developer said Nuketown would arrive some time in November for free.
And despite not being included in multiplayer on launch, Nuketown is heavily featured as a point of interest on the Blackout map. Listed as "Nuketown Island," the area is a very popular one in the battle royale mode.
Friday's announcement on Twitter was the first official statement from Treyarch regarding Nuketown's arrival, and it will almost certainly cause excitement among longtime Black Ops fans.
The map will be first available on PlayStation 4, but it will likely be added to the Xbox One and PC versions of the game on Nov. 20 due to Activision's one-week exclusivity deal with Sony.

Dorothy Lorraine Dunn[1]
Charles Rolland "Charley" Douglass (January 2, 1910 – April 8, 2003) was an American sound engineer, credited as the inventor of the laugh track.
2 The mysterious "laff box"
3 Later years and death
Douglass was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1910 to an American family.[2] His father was an engineer on assignment there, and eventually relocated the family to Nevada. Douglass graduated from the University of Nevada with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, and eventually found work as a sound engineer with CBS Radio in Los Angeles. During World War II, Douglass served in the Navy and worked in Washington with engineers developing shipboard radar systems.
The mysterious "laff box"[edit]
Before television, audiences often experienced comedy in the presence of other audience members. Television producers attempted to recreate this atmosphere in its early days by introducing the sound of laughter or other crowd reactions into the soundtrack of television programs. However, live audiences could not be relied upon to laugh at the correct moment.[3] Douglass noticed this problem, and took it upon himself to remedy the situation.[4] If a joke did not get the desired chuckle, Douglass inserted additional laughter. If the live audience chuckled for too long, Douglass gradually muted the laughter. This editing technique became known as "sweetening," in which pre-recorded laughter is used to augment the response of the real studio audience if they did not react as strongly as desired.[4]
At first, Douglass's technique was used sparingly on live shows like The Jack Benny Program; as a result, its invention went by unnoticed.[5] By the end of the 1950s, live comedy transitioned from film to videotape, which allowed for editing during post-production. However, by editing a prerecorded live show, bumps and gaps were present in the soundtrack.[6] Douglass was again called upon to "bridge" or "fill" these gaps. Both performers and producers gradually began to realize the power behind prerecorded laughter. Comedian Milton Berle, while witnessing a post-production editing session, once said, "as long as we are here, this joke didn't get all that we wanted." After Douglass inserted a guffaw after a failed joke, Berle reportedly commented, "See? I told you it was funny."[3] Douglass went from enhancing a soundtrack to orchestrating audience reactions.[5] A team of "Laff Boys," technicians trained to operate Douglass's Laff Box, created extremely detailed textures designed to suggest specific ethical situations.[7]
By the early 1960s, the recording of television sitcoms before audiences had fallen out of fashion, and Douglass was brought in to simulate the audience response for entire programs. Shows like Bewitched, The Munsters and The Beverly Hillbillies are virtually showcases of Douglass' editing work. Low-key shows, like The Andy Griffith Show, The Brady Bunch and My Three Sons, had less raucous laugh tracks, but were also entirely fabricated post-production. The practice of simulating an audience reaction was controversial from the very beginning, but it became standard practice and a commodity in the industry.[2]
Douglass formed Northridge Electronics in August 1960, named after the Los Angeles suburb in the San Fernando Valley where the Douglass family resided and operated their business. From the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Douglass had a virtual monopoly on the laugh-track business.[8] In 1966, TV Guide critic Dick Hobson said the Douglass family were "the only laugh game in town."[9] When it came time to "lay in the laughs", the producer would direct Douglass where and when to insert the type of laugh requested.[9] Douglass would then go to work at creating the audience, out of sight from the producer or anyone else present at the studio in order to preserve secrecy around his technique.[9] Consequently, very few in the industry ever witnessed Douglass using his invention.[10]
The one-of-a-kind laugh-track device—known throughout the industry as the "laff box"—was tightly secured with padlocks, was more than two feet tall, and operated like an organ. Only immediate members of the family knew what the inside looked like[9] (at one time, the laff box was called "the most sought after but well-concealed box in the world").[5]
Douglass' laff box was unearthed in 2010. It was later discussed in detail in a June 2010 episode of Antiques Roadshow, where its historical value was appraised at $10,000.[11][12]
Beginning in 1986, Charley's son Bob began experimenting with an all-digital audio computer manufactured by CompuSonics, a Palo Alto, California company as a replacement for the analog equipment invented by his father. By 1990, Bob was using a custom version of CompuSonics equipment that had multiple channels of digital audio samples and a laptop computer interface for control. The new Laff Box was loaded and unloaded from the trunk of Bob's Mercedes-Benz with a small crane bolted to the trunk floor.[13]
The modern equivalent of the laff box is a digital device approximately the size of a laptop computer which contains hundreds of human sounds.[8]
Later years and death[edit]
Douglass moved to Laguna Beach, California in 1970 and retired there in 1980.[1] He died of pneumonia on April 8, 2003 in Templeton, California at age 93.[8]
Douglass was married for 62 years to Dorothy Dunn Douglass. They had two sons, Steve and Bob. Bob operated Northridge Electronics, the company established by Charley in August 1960, until 2012.[14] Dorothy lived in Laguna Beach until her death in January 2014 at age 95.[1]
Achievements[edit]
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honored Douglass with a 1992 Emmy for lifetime technical achievement.[8]

What's different with our file upload experience?
Easy multi-upload: easily select more than one file at a time to quickly upload files.
Express yourself with GIFs: for times when words just aren't enough, pick a GIF that truly expresses how you feel.
Connect to Google Drive or Dropbox: access and upload files from your favourite Cloud file storage system.
Sync files across Jira and Confluence: whatever you upload on Confluence will appear in your "Recents Uploads" in Jira, and vice versa!
We have enabled our new file upload experience for anyone that is using our new Editor. If you don't have the new editing experience it's available as a template, so you can try it out whenever you'd like.
If you have any feedback or questions, please post your thoughts here. We're excited to hear from you.
Thanks! We have been waiting for this. Should have been launched together with the new Fabric Editor, but we're happy it is here now.
upload a file and create a text link to it?
select from just the files already attached to the page?
find and link to a file attached on another page?
Hey James! Thanks for the questions.
We currently do not offer this capability but we have it on our roadmap for the near-future.
This was a feature that we de-prioritised as part of the new editing experience as it was not used frequently. Could I ask what this feature helps you with? It's currently not on our immediate roadmap, but keen to hear what you're trying to do.
Same as above. We currently do not have this capability but keen to understand how often you need this/what you wish to achieve through this.
I think your assumption is that a page is created and files are upload all as one task - so I'm sure that in most cases that is true. But when I go back to change a page or reorganise later in time, how do I find something attached on the page already?
It isn't about frequency, but the ability to deal with an exception when it arises.
I want to link to the file on the other page, so that I don't duplicate the file. I couldn't tell you how frequently I use this, but its a feature I've used it time and time again over the years I've been using Confluence.
I assume at some stage the new editor will also be extended to comments?
If I want to point a user to particular file in reply to a question that could be on the same page or another page, how will I do that?
Copying and pasting the link to the file might work, but files links are a bit messy in Confluence - using the dialog was always a more reliable way of doing it.
And once it is uploaded, why is the file size relevant anyway?
James, really great, thanks a lot for all of the feedback. Highly appreciate it!
We'll prioritise these accordingly as we take in other feedback. This helps me understand why these features are important.
Re: the UI of the file cards, we're also making improvements on those shortly as well. Hopefully it'll help you differentiate files in the picker!
The file cards take up way too much space, especially if you need to refer to (link to) a file in-line in a document, which is the typical way of referencing.
Often when writing documentation you will want to link to an attachment (file) in the text, but also link to the same attachment (file) under a References heading in the document. It would then make no sense at all to upload the same file twice to the Confluence page. The maintenance will be a nightmare.
In other cases it is convenient to for instance upload 10 images to a page at once, and then when you write the page content you add in the individual images as you go. You might even want to add the same image more than once on the same page.
This also helps with maintenance. You want to duplicate as little as possible to help maintain the correct versions of your files.


I don't know why it has taken me this long to write this, but my wife and I have been working with Kristin for close to 10 years and helped with a variety of transactions. Not only do we consider her and the rest of her team great realtors, they are our friends! Everything written by everyone else here with how great they are is totally true.
Most notably, she sold our home in less than a week AND managed to get the one and only solid bidder to out bid themselves to above asking!!!! That is what you call someone who knows what they are doing!!!! - Dan O.
