Art and Myth of the Ancient Maya
Oswaldo Chinchilla Mazariegos
This nuanced account explores Maya mythology through the lens of art, text, and culture. It offers an important reexamination of the mid-16th-century Popol Vuh, long considered an authoritative text, which is better understood as one among many crucial sources for the interpretation of ancient Maya art and myth. Using materials gathered across Mesoamerica, Oswaldo Chinchilla Mazariegos bridges the gap between written texts and artistic representations, identifying key mythical subjects and uncovering their variations in narratives and visual depictions. Central characters—including a secluded young goddess, a malevolent grandmother, a dead father, and the young gods who became the sun and the moon—are identified in pottery, sculpture, mural painting, and hieroglyphic inscriptions. Highlighting such previously overlooked topics as sexuality and generational struggles, this beautifully illustrated book paves the way for a new understanding of Maya myths and their lavish expression in ancient art.

Art and Revolution in Latin America, 1910–1990
David Craven
In this uniquely wide-ranging book, David Craven investigates the extraordinary impact of three Latin American revolutions on the visual arts and on cultural policy. The three great upheavals — in Mexico (1910–1940), in Cuba (1959–1989), and in Nicaragua (1979–1990) — were defining moments in twentieth-century life in the Americas. Craven discusses the structural logic of each movement's artistic project — by whom, how, and for whom artworks were produced — and assesses their legacies. In each case, he demonstrates how the consequences of the revolution reverberated in the arts and cultures far beyond national borders.
The book examines not only specific artworks originating from each revolution's attempt to deal with the challenge of "socializing the arts," but also the engagement of the working classes in Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua with a tradition of the fine arts made newly accessible through social transformation. Craven considers how each revolution dealt with the pressing problem of creating a "dialogical art" — one that reconfigures the existing artistic resource rather than one that just reproduces a populist art to keep things as they were. In addition, the author charts the impact on the revolutionary processes of theories of art and education, articulated by such thinkers as John Dewey and Paulo Freire. The book provides a fascinating new view of the Latin American revolutionaries — from artists to political leaders — who defined art as a fundamental force for the transformation of society.

Art and the French Commune: Imagining Paris after War and Revolution
Albert Boime
In this bold exploration of the political forces that shaped Impressionism, Albert Boime proposes that at the heart of the modern is a "guilty secret"—the need of the dominant, mainly bourgeois, classes in Paris to expunge from historical memory the haunting nightmare of the Commune and its socialist ideology. The Commune of 1871 emerged after the Prussian war when the Paris militia chased the central government to Versailles, enabling the working class and its allies to seize control of the capital. Eventually violence engulfed the city as traditional liberals and moderates joined forces with reactionaries to restore Paris to "order"—the bourgeois order. Here Boime examines the rise of Impressionism in relation to the efforts of the reinstated conservative government to "rebuild" Paris, to return it to its Haussmannian appearance and erase all reminders of socialist threat.
Boime contends that an organized Impressionist movement owed its initiating impulse to its complicity with the state's program. The exuberant street scenes, spaces of leisure and entertainment, sunlit parks and gardens, the entire concourse of movement as filtered through an atmosphere of scintillating light and color all constitute an effort to reclaim Paris visually and symbolically for the bourgeoisie. Amply documented and compellingly argued, Boime's thesis serves as a challenge to all cultural historians interested in the rise of modernism.

The Art of Impressionism: Painting Technique & the Making of Modernity
Anthea Callen
This important book is the first full-scale exploration of Impressionist technique. Focusing on the easel-painted work of Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Cézanne, Cassatt, Morisot, Caillebotte, Sisley, and Degas in the period before 1900, it places their methods and materials in a historical perspective and evaluates their origins, novelty, and meanings within the visual formation of urban modernity.
Drawing on scientific studies of pigments and materials, artists' treatises, colormens' archives, and contemporary and modern accounts, Anthea Callen demonstrates how raw materials and paintings are profoundly interdependent. She analyzes the material constituents of oil painting and the complex processes of "making" entailed in all aspects of artistic production, discussing in particular oil painting methods for landscapists and the impact of plein air light on figure painting, studio practice, and display. Insisting that the meanings of paintings are constituted by and within the cultural matrices that produced them, Callen argues that the real "modernity" of the Impressionist enterprise lies in the painters' material practices. Bold brushwork, unpolished, sketchy surfaces, and bright, "primitive" colors were combined with their subject matter—the effects of light, the individual sensation made visible—to establish the modern as visual.

The Art of Libation in Classical Athens
Milette Gaifman
This volume presents an innovative look at the imagery of libations, the most commonly depicted ritual in ancient Greece, and how it engaged viewers in religious performance. In a libation, liquid—water, wine, milk, oil, or honey—was poured from a vessel such as a jug or a bowl onto the ground, an altar, or another surface. Libations were made on occasions like banquets, sacrifices, oath-taking, departures to war, and visitations to tombs, and their iconography provides essential insight into religious and social life in 5th-century BC Athens. Scenes depicting the ritual often involved beholders directly—a statue's gaze might establish the onlooker as a fellow participant, or painted vases could draw parallels between human practices and acts of gods or heroes. llustrated with a broad range of examples, including the Caryatids at the Acropolis, the Parthenon Frieze, Attic red-figure pottery, and funerary sculpture, this important book demonstrates the power of Greek art to transcend the boundaries between visual representation and everyday experience.

The Art of Mu Xin: Landscape Paintings and Prison Notes
Alexandra Munroe (Editor)
Mu Xin (b. 1927) is one of the leading expatriate artist-intellectuals of our time and is known for his complex writings and paintings. Clearly a formidable figure in the cultural and intellectual history of Chinese modernism, Mu Xin is admired for his unique synthesis of Chinese and Western aesthetic sensibilities. This catalogue focuses on a group of thirty-three landscape paintings that Mu Xin painted in 1978–79, in the immediate aftermath of the Great Cultural Revolution. Many of these works have never been exhibited or published in the West. In addition, the book features Mu Xin's Prison Notes, some sixty-six calligraphic sheets that were written when the artist was in solitary confinement in China in 1972.

Art on the Line: The Royal Academy Exhibitions at Somerset House 1780–1836
David H. Solkin (Editor)
On May 1, 1780, England's Royal Academy of Arts opened its twelfth annual exhibition, the first to be held in the magnificent rooms of William Chambers's newly built Somerset House. For the next fifty-seven years, the Great Room of Somerset House effectively defined the center of the London art world--the place where viewers had to see and be seen, and where artists fiercely vied for the attention of potential buyers. Such great exhibition performers as Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence, John Constable, J. M. W. Turner, and David Wilkie sharpened their skills during these stimulating decades. In this extensively illustrated book, seventeen renowned experts revisit and assess the Somerset House years, a period of great achievement and central importance in the history of British art.
The book's contributors view the Somerset House phenomenon from a broad range of perspectives. They deal with the physical nature of the exhibitions, the audience, the role of the press, the Royal Academy's place within the larger world of urban entertainments, and how the conditions of display shaped and even transformed patterns of art production. In addition, they explore such topics as the tactics of exhibitors in different genres of painting, the exhibition histories of works in other media, and the impact on foreign artists and observers of an increasingly self-confident national school of British art.

Art, Tea, and Industry: Masuda Takashi and the Mitsui Circle
Christine M. E. Guth
In this book Christine Guth examines the intimate relationship between art collecting, the tea ceremony, and business through the activities of Masuda Takashi (1848–1938), the highly charismatic director of the Mitsui conglomerate whose opulent life and passionate pursuit of art continue to influence new generations of aspiring business magnates in Japan. An elaborate social ritual in which the worlds of business and art collecting intersected, the tea ceremony guided Masuda in amassing the finest collection of Sino-Japanese art in the early Japanese industrial era. Guth's exploration of his aesthetic ideas deepens our understanding of not only the formation of the canon of Japanese art but also the role of art in the ideology of early modern Japan.
At a time when there were few art museums in Japan and Japanese art was becoming internationally known, Masuda's tea gatherings functioned as a salon where his colleagues, other collectors, and art dealers could view, discuss, and handle works of art. Under his influence, art collecting and mastery of the tea ceremony became integral parts of the business training and activities of Mitsui executives. Masuda's collection was rich in calligraphy, ink painting, lacquer, and ceramics, but it was especially noted for its Buddhist painting and sculpture. These works, which were dispersed after World War II, are now in museums and private collections throughout Japan and the United States.
Artists on the Left: American Artists and the Communist Movement 1926–1956
This remarkable book is the first to examine in abundant detail the relation between visual artists and the American Communist movement during the twentieth century. Andrew Hemingway charts the rise and decline of the Communist Party's influence on art in the United States from the Party's dramatic rise in prestige during the Great Depression to its effective demise in the 1950s. Offering a full account of how left-wing artists responded to the Party's various policy shifts over these years, Hemingway shows that the Communist Party exerted a powerful force in American culture, even after the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.
The author scrutinizes the works of an array of leftist artists, many of great interest but largely forgotten today. He demonstrates that American art produced within the Communist Party's orbit was far more diverse and had a much more complex relationship with modernism than has been previously understood. Refusing to march in lockstep to Party requirements, artists and critics in and around the Party accepted no single aesthetic line and engaged in heated debates. Hemingway offers radical new interpretations of some familiar works, reassesses the role of the John Reed Clubs and the work of artists in the federal art programs, and revises accepted thinking about art in the United States during the Cold War. In short, he offers a distinguished and original political history that recovers the rich artistic and intellectual legacy of the American left.

The Artist's Reality: Philosophies of Art
One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Mark Rothko (1903–1970) created a new and impassioned form of abstract painting over the course of his career. Rothko also wrote a number of essays and critical reviews during his lifetime, adding his thoughtful, intelligent, and opinionated voice to the debates of the contemporary art world. Although the artist never published a book of his varied and complex views, his heirs indicate that he occasionally spoke of the existence of such a manuscript to friends and colleagues. Stored in a New York City warehouse since the artist's death more than thirty years ago, this extraordinary manuscript, titled The Artist's Reality, is now being published for the first time.
Probably written around 1940–41, this revelatory book discusses Rothko's ideas on the modern art world, art history, myth, beauty, the challenges of being an artist in society, the true nature of "American art," and much more. The Artist's Reality also includes an introduction by Christopher Rothko, the artist's son, who describes the discovery of the manuscript and the complicated and fascinating process of bringing the manuscript to publication. The introduction is illustrated with a small selection of relevant examples of the artist's own work as well as with reproductions of pages from the actual manuscript.
The Artist's Reality will be a classic text for years to come, offering insight into both the work and the artistic philosophies of this great painter.

Becket's Crown: Art and Imagination in Gothic England 1170–1300
Paul Binski
To appreciate England's earliest Gothic buildings and art—the great cathedrals at Canterbury, Lincoln, Salisbury, and Wells and contemporary Gothic texts and images—it is necessary to understand the religious and ethical ideals of the individuals and communities who sponsored them. Paul Binski's fascinating new book offers a radical new perspective on English art, architecture, social formation, and religious imagination during this pivotal period.
Binski reveals that the Church, although authoritarian and undergoing reform, was able to come to terms with new developments in society and technology as well as with the fact of social and religious diversity. He explains how varying ideals of personal sanctity were bound up with radical new notions of leadership, personal ethics, and styles of religious devotion and how ideas of reform of worship, personal conduct, and art affected the community at large.

Water from Melamchi being supplied in Kathmandu Valley from today
The water from the Melamchi river brought to Sundarijal of Kathmandu is being distributed in the federal capital from today. The water was channelled via the tunnel aqueduct at Ambathan, the source of the Melamchi stream at Helambu Rural Municipality-1 in Sindhupalchok district. The water released into the conduit had reached the end point of the tunnel at Sundarijal, Gokarneshwar Municipality-1 on December 4. Initially this water was discharged into the Bagmati river for flushing the tunnel.
'The tunnel was shut in June year after a massive landslide occurred in the Melamchi area damaged the tunnel structure at its source at Ambathan. So, the water that had been filled in the tunnel has been released into the Bagmati river to flush out the silt and debris in the tunnel,' said Ram Chandra Poudel, the engineer with the Melamchi Water Supply Project. According to him, the water was filled in the tunnel since December 5 and the water filled in the tunnel has been released to Mahankalchaur branch since Thursday.
Only a small amount of water has been channelled into the tunnel conduit in the beginning on a trial basis since the tunnel was closed for long. This water took a week to reach Sundarijal. Project spokesperson Rajendra Panta said that 175 million litres water from the Melamchi river would be released into the tunnel daily from today. The project had first started distributing the Melamchi water to Kathmandu on March 28 last year. However, the supply was disrupted following major floods and landslides in Sindhupalchowk on June 15.

Is there a warrant for your arrest in or around Greater Ville, MO? Do you believe this warrant could be a result of an old traffic ticket that you did not get taken care of? Or maybe from a court hearing that you missed? As a result of this arrest warrant, are you now barricaded in your house? Did you know that if you are pulled over while there is an active warrant, the officer will very likely take you to jail on the spot?
But just because you have a warrant for your arrest does not mean that it is the end of the world. There is in fact a straightforward solution to this problem!! An experienced attorney can get the Greater Ville, MO warrant lifted off your shoulders. The next step is to get the underlying ticket taken care of (because otherwise it will go right back to warrant status).
Our firm handles traffic tickets by working with the prosecutor to get the ticket reduced to a non-moving violation.

Mortimer Lamson Earle, Ph. D. (1864–1905) was an American classical scholar.

Biography
He was born in New York City on October 14, 1864, the only child of Mortimer Lent Earle and Mercy Josephine Allen. He received his early education from Ashland Public School in East Orange, New Jersey and through private tutors, and was educated at Columbia College of Columbia University, receiving his doctorate from Columbia University in 1889. He studied at the University of Bonn and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in the period from 1887 to 1889. At the latter in 1887 he was placed in charge of the excavations of the site of ancient Sikyon by Professor Augustus C. Merriam of Columbia.  On June 4, 1892, he married Ethel Deodata Woodward (1864–1940). They had no children.

From 1889 to 1895 he was instructor in Greek at Barnard College and Columbia University. From 1895 to 1898 he served as associate professor in Greek and Latin at Bryn Mawr College, before returning to Barnard in 1898 just as it was about to become part of Columbia University.  He was appointed professor of classical philology in 1899.

The Dish on food this fall at Mosaic.
You've probably seen the images floating around Mosaic lately—downright tasty photos of a steaming hot pastrami sandwich, a gritty look into oyster farming, a creative blend of high-quality tea spilling out onto a countertop.
This fall, we're celebrating everything that makes the food scene at Mosaic truly special—the ways our ingredients are sourced, how the dishes are inspired and how food is used to spark gathering.
We explored the Rappahannock Oyster Farm, the backbone behind Brine (coming to Mosaic in 2015!) There, we saw the oyster-growing process from its inception—tiny shells carefully cultivated in a sheltered environment before being released into the bay to thrive (see image above).
Owner Travis Croxton told us about Rappahannock's attention to environmental responsibility—the farm is careful to return oyster shells to the wild, helping the bay grow and prosper.
A blend of high-quality tea.
We also sat down with Chef RJ Cooper and his favorite culinary minds at GypsySoul Restaurant. The interior of the restaurant may be a cool, motorcycle-chic destination, but inside the open kitchen is a staff with a deep respect for the food they're serving and its path to your table.
The creativity required to remake a menu based around what's in season each week—not just monthly—is daunting, but Cooper and his team are up to the task.
Piping-hot pastrami from DGS Delicatessen.
At DGS Delicatessen, we watched as piping-hot pastrami was sliced into thin, delicious layers, stacked high and presented as a sandwich that's mouthwatering even in photos. Ted's Bulletin gave us a peek into the creative process that churns out decidedly grownup spins on classic childhood favorites—flaky homemade pop-tarts, sno-balls coated in a dusting of coconut, and some boozy milkshakes that are sure to be instant hits.
Every inch of Mosaic's food scene is carefully thought out and crafted, from the Philly-like brotherly love that hits you as soon as you walk in the door at Taylor Gourmet, the fresh blend of Mediterranean flavors at Cava Grill and the long wall of tea flavors at Capital Teas.
Check out our social media feeds this fall for further glimpses into Mosaic food—and taste them all at Mosaic! We promise you won't be disappointed.


The top five of the 2018 NFL Draft is turning into quarterback musical chairs. And the quarterback-needy team that doesn't strike quickly could be left without a seat.
The New York Jets were determined not to be that team, packaging three second-round picks and the No. 6 overall selection to the Indianapolis Colts to move up three spots. With Cleveland and the New York Giants currently slotted to pick first and second, the Jets are guaranteed one of the top three quarterbacks.
Who is the next team to trade up? Buffalo? Arizona? Don't be left without a chair.
The Browns' search for a long-term answer at quarterback continues. Darnold's turnovers stand out, but so do his intangibles, passing instincts and ability to move the pocket and create plays. Less than six weeks before the draft, Darnold is the favorite to go No. 1 to the Browns.
With new decision-makers (general manager and head coach) in New York, there is a favorable chance this pick will be a quarterback or traded. But if this regime truly believes in Eli Manning as "the guy" for the next few seasons, Barkley and his impact would aid the quarterback more than anyone else at this selection.
What we know: The Jets traded a king's ransom for this pick in order to draft a quarterback. What we don't know: Which quarterbacks will be left for them? With both Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles needing to win now, Rosen might be their best option.
If the Browns hold onto this pick -- which is a big "if" -- Chubb might be the favorite, pairing with Myles Garrett for one of the best pass-rush tandems in the NFL. In this scenario, Cleveland locks up the two most important positions on the roster with the first two picks.
The Broncos signed Case Keenum to be the short-term starter but that likely won't stop John Elway from finding a long-term answer if one is available with this pick. While his tape is streaky, Allen has an impressive physical skill-set with his size, arm and athleticism -- kind of like Elway when he was a NFL prospect.
After trading back from No. 3, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Colts move back again for more draft currency. However, if general manager Chris Ballard stays at No. 6, Nelson should be in consideration as a plug-and-play guard who will help stabilize an inconsistent unit.
Although he is a better athlete than football player right now, James has a bright future ahead of him as a do-it-all defender able to play single-high or in the box. Justin Evans and James would give the Bucs a talented safety duo for the foreseeable future.
Chicago re-upped Kyle Fuller long-term but still need more help on the cornerback depth chart. Ward lacks ideal height, but his feet, hips and eyes are what make him a potentially special cover man.
With quarterbacks going high in this draft, talented players will fall -- and teams with a quarterback already in place will benefit. That would be illustrated with this pick if San Francisco comes away with Fitzpatrick, who can play outside corner, nickel or safety. General manager John Lynch will be smitten with what Fitzpatrick offers on defense.
The Raiders have one of the weakest interior defensive line units in the AFC and need to upgrade from the inside out on defense. At 340 pounds, Vea is a rare player with his power to handle double-teams and athleticism to chase down ball-carriers on the perimeter.
A high-ceiling linebacker, Edmunds can be a cornerstone defender for the Dolphins' defense, which would also make his father proud, as Ferrell Edmunds was a Pro Bowl tight end for Miami in the early '90s.
The Bills are in hot pursuit for a quarterback; there is no doubt about that. But what is the organization's next move? Trade up? Stay patient? It is unlikely they stay at No. 12, but if they do, Mayfield could still be available for them.
Even with Zach Brown re-signing in Washington, Smith would still be a home run pick for the Redskins. His tackling range and toughness would be welcomed in a division that includes running backs like Ezekiel Elliott and (perhaps) Saquon Barkley.
The Packers, who tried to pluck Kyle Fuller from Chicago, have holes on the cornerback depth chart that need addressed. Jackson and his ball-hawking skill-set would be one solution.
Sam Bradford is a stop-gap quarterback, and Arizona should be quarterback-hunting in the draft. Jackson might not be a fit for every offense, but if the Cardinals are willing to open the playbook, this pick could end up being a steal.
With Ryan Jensen signing a lucrative deal with the Buccaneers, the Ravens' center position is a question mark. Matt Skura likely gets first crack at the job, but Daniels would be an upgrade at the position and provide immediate interior line depth.
The Chargers focused on the interior offensive line in last year's draft and could look to add youth at tackle this spring. Miller doesn't have first-round tape, but the raw traits and testing numbers could land him in the top-20 picks.
Seattle has invested in upgrading the offensive line, but the Seahawks aren't done. Time will tell if they look to add more help in the first round, but Wynn, a plug-and-play guard, wouldn't be a bad option if they do.
Dallas hasn't addressed the top-three on the wide receiver depth chart over the last five seasons, and it is time for an upgrade. Ridley would be an ideal "Z" receiver opposite Dez Bryant, giving Dak Prescott a pass-catcher who can create his own separation.
Detroit needs reinforcements on the defensive line to provide more of a pass rush, and Bryan is a candidate to do that. One of the few three-technique defensive tackles in this draft with Pro Bowl potential, Bryan is a plus athlete who showed steady improvement since he arrived in Gainesville.
With Cordy Glenn added to the offensive line, the Bengals won't be pressured to go offensive line with this pick. Cincinnati could still add an offensive tackle but could also add depth on defense with a promising linebacker like Vander Esch.
After drafting a quarterback earlier in the round, the Bills would be wise to continue and add to the offensive line here. Part of the appeal with McGlinchey is his ability to play tackle or guard, plugging holes wherever needed.
Defensive end was a need before Robert Quinn was dealt to Miami, making an upgrade at pass rusher even more important now. Davenport is still raw in areas, but he can provide immediate juice off the edge and be the team's "new" Quinn.
The Panthers have some questions on the offensive line and Williams should be an attractive prospect for them in the opening round. He has the skill-set to play guard as a rookie while also possibly being the answer long-term at left tackle.
Tennessee's defensive front hasn't created enough pressure on the quarterback, making pass rusher a likely option here. Landry didn't have the senior season most expected, but he hasn't forgotten how to bend the edge and put pressure on the quarterback.
Cornerback is far down the list of needs on the Falcons' wish list, but Hughes is simply great value at this point and would give Atlanta an upgrade over Brian Poole in the nickel. He would also give the secondary insurance for Desmond Trufant, who missed eight games the past two seasons due to injury.
Although defensive tackle isn't the top need on the roster, it is a position that could use more firepower. Payne has the athleticism and power combination to be a three-down player, helping shut down the run and providing some interior pass rush.
The addition of Joe Haden helped, but cornerback is still one of the weak spots on the Steelers' roster. Alexander might be undersized, but he plays bigger with his athleticism, toughness and ball skills.
One of the league's best defenses would get better with this selection. Evans might not be a day one starter, but it shouldn't take long to work himself into the mix, providing Jacksonville with meaningful snaps at linebacker.
The Vikings invested heavily in Kirk Cousins -- now it is time to protect him. Hernandez would provide immediate interior depth and upgrade the position.
At 6-5 and 250 pounds, Carter is a freaky athlete who can do a multitude of things on the football field. He lacks direction and a true position, but a smart defensive coach will be able to utilize his gifts, making the Patriots a favorable landing spot for him.
When you win the Super Bowl, you can draft luxury players in the first round. And that is what Moore would be in Philadelphia, providing a dynamic inside-outside threat.

'Glass'
The intelligent cousin to the Marvel franchise. 'Glass' is all the action-packed delight of your classic hero film, with the added gift of an existential crisis when the credits roll. It has a more down-played approach, preferring silence and scheming - classic of M. Night Shyamalan - instead of drowning the audience in choreography.
The film is about the "No-Man's Land" - where right and wrong co-exist. It is a paralysing film, the third in the franchise, that mostly favours the perspective of Mr. Glass, played by none other than Samuel L. Jackson. We become fully introduced to his superpower, and invited to sympathise with his motives. Whether you do or not, is a personal choice, but I can promise that regardless of your thoughts, the film will spark a spiral of questioning about the world we live in.
At times the film swam luxuriously in its brilliance, so much so that it became decreasingly brilliant. While it can be understood that Shyamalan's style of filmmaking more so invites the audience to interpret the moments, as opposed to smacking them in the face with it - a stop watch would nonetheless have occasionally done some good.
One of the most long awaited features of the film was the introduction of Kevin Crumb's further personalities. James McAvoy did not disappoint. There were times when within a continuous shot, McAvoy transformed into three or more people, which, if nothing else, provided evidence to McAvoy's impressive skill set.
All actors performed tremendously, and I sincerely hope there will be an extension to the trilogy in which they all appear. A thrilling watch, that I would highly recommend to drama, action and thriller enthusiasts alike.

Keidel: Are Redskins Really A Playoff Contender?

By Jason Keidel
In a league that promotes parity, the NFL couldn't ask for a more mixed-up playoff picture than what they have this year.
That's particularly true in the NFC East, where it seems everyone has taken a turn as division darling except the team that actually won it last season. The Washington Redskins have become lost in the high-grade parity of a four-team race.
The Philadelphia Eagles dashed out the gate with three-straight wins, rebranding their commonwealth into Wentzylvania. But the Eagles have since fallen back into the pack, going 2-4 since starting 3-0.
The New York Giants are the blue bloods of the division, the only NFC East club to win a Super Bowl since the '90s, with a Hall-of-Fame QB from football's first family.
The Dallas Cowboys, of course, lost their first game, and haven't lost since. Leading the 8-0 Cowboys? Two rookies. In the least likely ride to the stratosphere, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have flipped the NFL script.
Get more commentary from other CBS Local Sports Voices.
But Washington? A healthy portion of the public refuses to even mouth the team's handle, much less recognize them as a playoff contender.
Folks saw last year as a fluke, a blip on the NFL screen. And this year's iteration doesn't overwhelm you with stats. Though they rank fourth in the NFL in offense (407.8 YPG), they've only outscored their opponents by 13 total points. Their defense surrenders 365.4 yards per game, 21st in the league.
If anyone wondered, however, if Kirk Cousins was worth the $20 million franchise tag the team placed on him this season, his numbers answer in the affirmative. The Redskins quarterback is fourth in passing yards (2,716). Among quarterbacks with at least 300 pass attempts, he's fourth in completion percentage (66.9) and seventh in yards per completion (7.7).
But in a division stuffed with clubs over .500, the 5-3-1 Redskins are in third place, a half-game behind the Giants (6-3). They last won a Super Bowl a quarter-century ago, when Joe Gibbs ran the circus. Gibbs, the emblem of the team's only dynasty, returned, but left again before he could add to his glittering legacy.
Since Daniel Snyder bought the team, Washington has been a bit of a punchline. With a turnstile at the head coach's office, the Redskins have been a picture of corporate dysfunction. They seemed ready to restore their place in the NFL fiefdom when Robert Griffin III won rookie of the year and led them to the playoffs. Then he famously fizzled out. Gone were Griffin and head coach Mike Shanahan.
So Washington had to reboot. Enter Jay Gruden, who is probably still called Jon, after his more famous brother. But Jay is the only one coaching an NFL club. And if the season ended today, Washington would make the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1991-'92.
Gruden's career, like that of most coaches, is hitched to his quarterback. Considering Gibbs won three Super Bowls with three different signal-callers, the current coach could do much worse than Cousins, who is clearly better than Mark Rypien, the last QB in Washington to hoist a Lombardi Trophy.
If Washington breaks through to another January of football, they may find they have their franchise quarterback, and their franchise head coach.

The basis for depreciation is the lower of the adjusted basis of the property (usually cost) or its fair market value on the date it starts to be used for business. For equipment (e.g., a computer, furniture), typically this means fair market value; usually the value of these items decline over time below what they cost. For the portion of the home used for an office, basis is usually the allocable part of the adjusted basis of the home (cost plus capital improvements), assuming the home's value is more as is typically the case.

Greenland 2019
by philosophynearby · March 27, 2021
Greenland. New reports on Greenland's melting glaciers came during the year. According to researchers in New Zealand, the melting ice of Greenland and Antarctica risks causing extreme weather and more unstable climates faster than expected. The melt water is expected to disrupt ocean currents by weakening cold currents to the south and pushing warmer water to the sea surface. The Greenland Ice is up to three kilometers thick and contains fresh water that can raise the global sea level by up to seven meters.
Another study showed that it is raining more and more in Greenland, which contributes to the inland ice melting faster. Nowadays, rain falls not only in the summertime but also in the winter, when it was previously normal with only snow. In recent decades, the number of rains in winter has increased from an average of two to twelve.
ABBREVIATIONFINDER.ORG: Click to see the meanings of 3-letter acronym and abbreviation of GRL in general and in geography as Greenland in particular.
A photo from northwestern Greenland of dog sledding on water-filled ice got international attention during the year. According to the Danish Meteorological Institute, DMI, the ice in Greenland began to melt as early as April, several weeks earlier than normal. In a single day, July 31, more than 10 billion tons of ice flow into the sea was estimated as melt water.
Summer was record-breaking in the Arctic, and Greenland was haunted by a major land fire in a peat-rich area on the west coast. The local rescue service did not cope with the blazing fire, and the autonomous government requested help from Denmark which sent a large rescue force.
The Swedish icebreaker Oden, with an international research expedition on board, spent a few months at the Ryder Glacier in northwestern Greenland to investigate, among other things, how climate change affects glaciers. No marine expedition has previously entered the fjord to the hard-to-reach glacier.
Greenland was increasingly drawn into the security policy fight for the Arctic. The Minister of Defense in Denmark said that Danish fighter jets could be stationed in Greenland. As a reason, it was stated that the Russian Federation should place fighter aircraft on an archipelago east of Svalbard, where Greenlandic airspace is within easy reach. According to Denmark, Russian action is in turn caused by US plans for large investments in Greenland airports.
With its strategic location between US and Russian territory and with its assets of minerals, metals, precious stones and perhaps oil, Greenland is of strategic and economic interest to the great powers. President Donald Trump even considered that the United States should try to buy Greenland from Denmark. The US had similar plans in the 1800s and 1900s but had to settle for military presence on the island.
Now Kim Kielsen, the head of government, explained that Greenland is not for sale but is open for trade and cooperation. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen visited Greenland, supported Kielsen and emphasized that the island is not Danish but Greenlandic. She described the idea of an American purchase of Greenland as absurd.
Trump responded by canceling a planned visit to Denmark in September. Trump and Frederiksen then spoke on the phone about developing relations between the countries, and the United States announced plans to open a consulate in Greenland as part of a strengthened US presence in the Arctic region.
At the request of Greenland, the Danish government decided on 85 million Danish crowns to support Greenland's efforts against sexual abuse. Reports showed that every fifth child born in Greenland in the 1990s was sexually abused, eight times worse than in Denmark. The worst affected is a small town in eastern Greenland, where 80% of women have been abused. They would receive efforts from psychologists and social workers from Denmark.
The governments of Greenland and Denmark formed a joint working group to propose how to prevent abuse, improve police work, help vulnerable children and treat perpetrators.
According to CountryAAH, the population of Greenland in 2019 was 56,561, ranking number 209 in the world. The population growth rate was 0.190% yearly, and the population density was 0.1381 people per km2.

Aging-In-Place can be made easier with a few small additions or enhancements to each room in your home. As we age it helps to consider accessibility, which is easier to achieve with a simple layout, free space, grab bars, and good lighting throughout all rooms. Let's take a look at some specific rooms.
The kitchen can be made more accessible by changing the height of cabinets and appliances, and ease of access to items inside of cabinets.
If you have a budget for renovation, it may be worth consulting a Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist or your local cabinet-maker.
All appliances should be well-lit, easy to use, and easy to see!
Plan for the use of canes, wheelchairs, walkers or similar assistive devices by making sure the bathroom has plenty of free space.
Ensure the toilet is at a proper height or purchase a seat extender.
Installing grab bars is an easy and economic way to increase safety in the bathroom. They can be placed on the interior or exterior of the tub or shower, as well as near the toilet to help with sitting and standing. Grab bars are no longer all cold and metal- today many styles and colors are available to match your taste.
Shower seats, anti-slip coating, and adjustable shower heads can make showers much more accessible. walk-in tubs can also be considered.
Safety handles can be installed on the bed to allow easier access and reduce the potential for falling. Much like grab bars, these handles no longer look so clinical and can complement the decor of the room.
Having a working phone beside the bed may also be important in case there is a need to call for help. this phone should be corded or have a backup battery in case of power outage.
Cleaning out clutter in bedrooms is key! Storing heavy items or items you might use regularly on shelves can lead to accidents or things falling. Closets and Bedrooms should, again, be well-lit to avoid the possiblity of tripping!


One of a kind in Legend Trail! This impeccable & highly upgraded 4 bedroom, 3 bath home located on the golf course is ready for move-in! Recently remodeled inside & out! Painted in fresh neutral colors, beautiful tile (interior & exterior), newly landscaped backyard with over $100k in upgrades! Front faces open desert on a cul-de-sac lot, very private backyard facing the golf course & the 13th hole of LT course. The open split floor plan boasts a formal living room, formal dining room & custom fireplace accented by mosaic tile. A Jack & Jill bath separates secondary bedrooms. Natural light envelopes you & you're drawn to the backyard with a huge patio and 18x40 pool surrounded by water features & firelight dancing in the night sky. Exterior heaters & travertine make this a 2nd living area!


At the Computex 2016 exhibition opening that is being performed from May, 31 till June, 4 in Taipei ASUS Company presented ultrabook of the next generation and its name is ASUS ZenBook 3. Computex 2016 exhibition opening was a feast and nobody expected anything serious. At first there was just a list of new things to present but having looked through it a lot of people mentioned new device that was produced and made by ASUS Company and understood that it is really one of the greatest and the most groundbreaking competitor between other presented devices of other companies.
Sure to be the thinnest and the lightest laptop ever?
ZenBook is the thinnest and the lightest laptop ever. To prove this statement we have looked through the features of the laptop that was considered to be the smallest, lightest and thinnest the last time and this laptop is Apple's Macbook that is 920 grams and whose thickness is in the range from 3.5 millimeters to 13.1 millimeters, while ASUS ZenBook 3 is just 11.9 millimeters thick and its weight is 910 grams. These parameters leave behind Apple's MacBook criteria. And more than that is the fact that the last MacBook has smaller display (that is 11.8 inches for MacBook and 12.5 inches for ASUS ZenBook 3).
Also ASUS ZenBook 3 is even faster than MacBook.
Just have a look at the parameters of the Ultrabook and you will understand it by yourself.
ASUS ZenBook 3 has 12.5 display with protecting glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4, Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. It obtains 16 GB random access memory (DDR RAM) 2133 MHz, till 1 TB on four SSD with PCIe interface. Also it has USB port of C Type and four Harman Kardon dynamics. It is also necessary to mention that the laptop has got the scanner of fingerprints that is supported with Windows Hello and uses an active cooling system. Wireless productivity can last for 9 hours. Moreover, ASUS ZenBook 3 sustains quick charging technology. It means that 60 per cent of battery can be renovated just in 49 minutes.
ASUS ZenBook 3 is available in three colors that are blue, grey and pink gold.
Ultrabook is restricted by the corpus of aluminium alloy that is 50 per cent more reliable than a standard alloy that is used for making laptops.
Core m processors do not need cooling fan, do they?
Then why does ASUS ZenBook 3 have one?
The fact that Core m processor do not need to have cooling fan is really true, because it makes the computer cool by itself. But ASUS ZenBook has cooling fan to make it cool inside as it obtains faster internals. And there is the fact that is also rather notable for this device that is the cooling fan in this unltrabook is just 3 millimeters thick that is the smallest cooling fan ever.
All mentioned above parameters are really great and unbelievable. It is a new and unexpected step especially when speaking about ASUS Company when everyone waits for some new and mind blowing ideas from Apple ASUS makes the laptop of breathtaking features to astonish the whole world. This fact shows us that there is space for other companies not to be out of line and create new devices that can be better than previous ones.
But there is one 'but'… ASUS ZenBook 3 still has Windows PC. It seems to be so expected; nothing out of the common happened. Nevertheless ASUS made, so to say, a new version of Windows 10 PC. ASUS ZenBook 3 provides a great variety of advantages that can be used by working with this device at home and from every spot of the Earth.
Is there anything similar between ASUS ZenBook 3 and Apple's MacBook?
Well, unfortunately, ASUS made the same mistake as Apple had done before. It presents just one USB port of C Type.
ASUS ZenBook 3 is a new device in computerized world and it appears worthy of the attention that is paid to. It is a new level of innovations in our world, and it is a great example to follow for other companies that want to impress their customers and attract new ones.
ASUS ZenBook 3 is the thinnest, the lightest laptop. It is faster than Apple's MacBook. Its display is larger than the display that is presented by the same MacBook. It has quick charging technology and it is made of aluminium alloy that is 50 per cent more reliable than other alloys for laptops. It has Windows 10 PC with its advantages and only one USB-C port.
ASUS ZenBook 3 is a new, smart and thoughtfully made device to use in our everyday life.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episodes 1 Recap-(Pic Credit NBC)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episode 1 Recap
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episode 1, titled "The Good Ones," focuses on police brutality towards non-white communities that led to many protests after George Floyd's death.
The episode begins with Rosa Diaz announcing that she has resigned from the New York Police Department and mentions the country's issues after the Covid-19 pandemic. Captain Raymond Holt later explains that she quit the NYPD to become a private investigator to help the victims of police brutality.
The beginning of the episode also introduces that Amy Santiago is finally back to work after her extended maternity leave due to the pandemic. Furthermore, Hitchcock has retired from the force but is still always virtually present with the squad because he misses Scully.
Meanwhile, Charles Boyle goes overboard when he tries to act with cultural appropriation with Terry after George Floyd's death and the rise in awareness about the discrimination against black people. Similar to most people, Boyle does not know how to address this issue and tries to do his part to deal with racial discrimination.
He seems to try too hard and takes it to the extreme by trying to dress like black people, going to the same barbershop that Terry goes to, and sending reparations over Venmo to Terry. He also listens to various podcasts related to the subject and has even created a listening sound to make his non-white colleagues feel heard.
The Cast Of Brooklyn Nine-Nine Gets Emotional As The Show Comes To An End
Tired of Boyle's attempts, Terry confronts him and tells him that how he addresses these issues would not help anyone and would only make things weird between them.
Terry also mentions that if he really wants to do something about the problem, he should not do it just to show it to someone, but because it is the right thing to do.
The writers have very wisely used this light-hearted sub-plot to show that listening to some podcasts will not help to curb discrimination in any way, as it is a critical problem that needs to be dealt with seriously.
When Rosa quits the force and does not spend time with the squad anymore, Jake Peralta is hurt because he thinks that Rosa thinks he is a bad person for being a part of the failed system. So, Jake offers to help her when she tells him about a new client who had been assaulted by the police simply because she is black.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episodes 1 Recap (Pic Credit NBC)
While working on the case together, they realize how the system is broken to its core and how the public sentiment towards the police has worsened because of it.
Jake keeps trying to prove that there are still a few good ones left in the department, but Rosa asks him to stay work with her only if he wants to help and not to prove a point.
They realize how bad the system is when they cannot get a cop fired even after they manage to get substantial proof of him harassing a lady only because she is black.
In the end, Jake realizes that both of them just want to help people even though their methods are different and stops being defensive about being a part of the force.
In the precinct, Amy is worried about losing her spark with Captain Holt after noticing that he tries small talk with her. After trying various activities from Terry's (or Scully's) book, Holt finally confesses that he and Kevin have separated.
It is a very emotional moment for "Raymy," as Holt says it has been a challenging year for him to be a black person, a cop, and a human in general.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 8 Episode 2, titled "The Lake House," focuses on Captain Holt and Kevin's separation. The episode begins with Jake proposing a plan to get them back together, but nobody else agrees to this plan.
Terry suggests that they should go to the Lake House that Holt keeps talking about for bird watching. Jake continues to execute his plan secretly and invites Kevin to the Lake House as well.
Terry also starts helping Jake secretly, and they set up various scenarios to reignite the spark in Holt and Kevin's relationship.
Meanwhile, Amy is busy with their son Mac as it is their first trip with the baby. Seeing Amy in distress as Mac has trouble sleeping, Charles gives her some parenting tips.

Though she hesitates to let him help initially, she asks for his help, and to her surprise, Mac falls asleep instantly. However, Amy later finds out that Charles has locked Mac in a room by mistake. She uses her motherly spirit and breaks the strong door. When Charles offers some food to apologize, she says that the incident helped her realize why Mac had trouble sleeping.
As Holt and Kevin are not ready to even be in the same room, Jake and Terry take them out of the house to see a corncrake, a species of bird that Holt and Kevin admire.
They finally find out about Jake's plan after Kevin gets stung by bees while looking for the bird, and Holt asks Jake to stop interfering in his personal life.
Despite sharing some romantic moments with Holt while keeping his eyes closed because of the bee sting, Kevin decides to leave as soon as he reaches the house.
When everyone, including Holt, thinks that there is no scope left for them to get back together, Jake realizes that both of them still have feelings for each other and are just scared of confessing.
He goes to Holt's room and asks him to talk to Kevin about it. The following day, Holt announces that they finally admitted to having feelings for each other and have decided to work on their relationship.

One of the unique facets of a mountain is that it might need many different types of terrain and completely different climates. Mountaineering is dependent upon your route, your partner and your stage of experience. Another strategy to mountain bike climbing of a concave hill is to stand up on the pedals, which creates a more highly effective cycle. The tires of mountain bikes, nevertheless, are broad with a big quantity of traction to handle tough terrains.
The Clearing isn't an arrival, but one point on the dimly glimpsed and impediment-strewn descent forward – not a perfected vision of the long run, however a place with a barely clearer view. Individuals are often unaware of how might muscle mass you utilize when driving a mountain bike, and how rapidly you may burn energy off using a motorcycle as it may be a particularly good work out for the physique.
Mount Logan is the biggest non-volcanic mountain in base space (a hundred and twenty sq mi or 311 km2). Between the bottom of the mountain and the summit, there's a variety of change and challenge. Now we have decided your approximate geographical location by the IP handle, which suggests these 10 closest mountain peaks. There are some people who prefer to buy a NC mountain cabin positioned in Highlands city and Bryson City.

Heats Tobacco at 660 Degrees?!
Imagine holding a device thats heats up to 660 degrees. Would you still be holding it? We don't think so. Philip Morris International Inc, the makers of Marlboro cigarettes, have a new device that delivers heats tobacco instead of burning it. It's called the HeatStick and is one of several so-called "reduced-risk' products the giant tobacco company plans to test since the consumption of traditional tobacco cigarettes are declining.
The world's second-largest tobacco company is hoping to capitalize on the demand for better alternatives to traditional cigarettes, such as electronic cigarettes and vaporizers. And though this seems to be done in the best intention to increase profits, is it a good idea to sell a device that heats up to 660 degrees? What are your thoughts? Comment below!

Q: Why doesn't Stack Overflow highlight the "namespace" and "using" keywords? In code blocks keywords "namespace" and "using" are not highlighted (e.g. for c# code).
<!-- language: c# --> does not help. c# tag neither.

A: I the correct method of specifying language highlighting is :
<!-- language: lang-c# -->

You were simply missing the lang- in the definition.

Check out the formatting sandbox to learn all the methods/tricks with regard to formatting.
Hit edit on any post that catches your eye and see how they did it.

A: Try it with <!-- language: lang-c# -->:
namespace name

But what does "natural" mean?
Well, turns out maybe not as much as you think it does.
He says "natural" does not mean food was grown without pesticide use. It does not mean meat is antibiotic-free. It does not mean that your milk came from cows that aren't being pumped up on hormones.
The GMA represents a lot of big food and beverage companies.
Faber says if the FDA approves the request, that makes a term like "natural" of little value.
"Allowing companies to use GE ingredients when consumers are already very confused about what 'natural' means, would just sow even more consumer confusion," he said.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association did not respond to a request for an interview.

Benteke, 25, was sold by the Reds during the summer transfer window.
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew thinks Christian Benteke will be out to prove a point against Liverpool on Saturday (29 October). The 25-year-old striker swapped Liverpool for Palace during the summer transfer window and Pardew believes Benteke will have a "little bit of extra stimulus" against his former club.
Benteke was deemed to be surplus to requirements at Anfield under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who only started the Belgian in 14 games. As a result, Pardew said Benteke will be especially keen to impress the Selhurst Park crowd this weekend.
"I think when you have not had the opportunities you feel you deserved, you are going to have a little bit of extra stimulus. I would if I were him," Pardew said ahead of the Liverpool game, according to the Evening Standard.
"So I expect him to be more changed than normal. When I played against West Ham last week, my old team, that meant a little bit more to me. I think that is a natural human reaction."
But Pardew has warned that Palace face an incredibly difficult task against Liverpool, admitting that Klopp's side are genuine title contenders. "There is a momentum about them at the moment and an intensity. They are the form team," Pardew said of Liverpool.
Benteke left Anfield for £27m ($32.7m), plus add-ons, during the summer transfer window and Klopp is not surprised by his initial success at the south London club. The striker has found the net three times for Palace and has quickly become a focal point of the team.
"It's no surprise. We knew about his qualities. Every player needs the space to develop and show things," the Liverpool manager explained, according to The Mirror. "The move made sense. Palace bought the player."
