Abstract Tags
A reliable treatment of the work of 'Robert des ruines' (Hubert Robert, 1733–1808) has been wanting for many years, and Nina Dubin's Futures and Ruins will amply meet this need for a considerable time. It is certainly the best we have in English, and in many respects at least as good as any treatment of the artist in his native French. In a sense it prepares the way for the better integration of Hubert Robert's work into larger accounts of the fashion for ruins, the picturesque and the turmoil of the age of revolution, and if our recognition of the possibilities which open up suggest limitations in Nina Dubin's treatment of her topic, this is unfair. Interdisciplinary studies of the visual and verbal culture of the period can now for the first time be fed with a balanced account of this central though often underestimated artist, and his brands of ruinism, disaster painting and the aesthetics of urban change. The possibilities it presents are a measure of the work's contribution to knowledge and not a symptom of weakness.
The central thesis of the book is that the phase of anticipated ruinism which occupied the second half of the eighteenth century was formatted by the recent growth in the mathematics of probability, which sought in part to explain the vagaries of fortune by means more grounded than the Wheel of Fortune or the guiding hand of Providence, and which accompanied the disastrous reliance on public credit which made the collapse of the French economy and governance inevitable. In this respect, Dubin maintains, Robert and his fellows stand on the brink of modernity. Robert, with his first great critic, Diderot, gave a new, deeper significance to visions of ruins, provoking reflection on the time when the ruined building was first erected, the anterior time to which inscriptions on the ruins refer, and the impermanence of the artist's and critic's own civilisation. Diderot was clear that significant ruins had to be grand, a view which became distinctly passé as the fashion for the picturesque took hold. Hubert Robert on the other hand kept up-to-date by turning to paintings of urban fires and of demolition, and the clearing or moving of burials. When he came to depict the Grand Gallery of the Louvre as it was intended it should be in its prime as a public attraction, and then added a vision of it as a ruin in the distant future, he was returning to an old link between ruins and grandeur, as befitted the growing self-conscious gloire of post-revolutionary France. It is one of Dubin's few lapses that she leaves the explanation of anticipated ruins as aggrandisement of the present until near the end of the book, whereas it should be a significant factor throughout, growing in importance as the future reputation of the Empire became an object of concern.
The ruins beloved by the late eighteenth century were usually produced by the collapse of one civilisation and the translatio imperii to another through conquest, attrition over time, natural catastrophe or economic collapse. Alternatively they were structures which were either unfinished or built to resemble ruins. Alongside the ruins of Athens, Rome, Palmyra and Balbec, too, was the supposedly more benign ruination caused by the urban planning of the period. Dubin deals very well with urban clearances and demolitions, and gives one of the best English language accounts we have of how the ground was already being prepared for Baron Haussmann and the responses of Baudelaire. On one minor point she is at fault: Paris did not lead the way in demolishing the houses on its bridges, London having already cleared those from London Bridge a decade before. All told, it is fascinating to be presented with the century's awareness of risk and the new discipline of urban planning as somehow linked phenomena. Construction as destruction of the familiar is a well-worn topic, but never more convincingly presented.
There are plenty of reminders of Robert's other careers as garden designer and then arts administrator, and to the attentive reader the complex shifts and overlaps of ideologies during his lifetime are clear enough. But the political contexts of his work and its reception are not clarified. The fact is that the underplaying of some of the contexts of the 'futures and ruins' which are the subject of this study serves to indicate where research should now go. Anticipated ruins in literature should one day be given due weight, and not just in French literature, but in English and German as well. After all it was that colourful aristocrat and very minor poet, the 'wicked Lord Lyttelton', who as early as 1780 has a future American tourist learn that the ruin of London took place:
The fall of public credit, that had long
Totter'd upon her airy base, involv'd
In sudden and promiscuous ruin, all
The great commercial world. [1]
Chance, credit and ruin were international phenomena, and no age is better prepared to appreciate them than our own.
Futures and Ruins is enlightening and Dubin's account of Robert's life and works is convincing. Perhaps she overplays the completeness of a swing from fatalistic thinking and superstition to more modern, quasi-scientific models. There is plenty of evidence that the so-called 'stadial' view of history persisted throughout this period and beyond. This view, which is a framework for much history in the century, including Gibbon's and Volney's, was a secularisation of the causes traditionally attributed to a deity. We are indeed teetering on the brink of modernity, but at the same time disasters continue to resonate with Old Testament notes of sin and punishment. The author's progressive model of intellectual history takes us onwards a little too smoothly, although it would be an overstatement to say that the French Revolution is invisible for much of Dubin's account. We all know it is there. We recognise dates and names as profoundly significant in its progress. Dubin, however, stands back and refuses to let the Revolution determine the elements of her story. Even if the effect is a trifle disconcerting, she is perhaps wise in her caution. A fuller evocation of the Revolution could completely swamp the story she has to tell. Yet I think we could ask for a little more, and must perhaps lay the blame in part on academic tradition and publishing conventions. Volney's The Ruins: or Meditations on the Revolutions of Empires, quoted in a rather late American translation, provides an epigraph for the Introduction, without any note as to the date or the significance of the original French work of 1791, a book Thomas Jefferson found so important that he immediately translated much of it. It will be said that one does not give full scholarly attention to an epigraph or to a literary quotation in a work of fine art history. Yet why should that be? Admittedly it is not always very important that an epigraph should be fully identified, but Volney is a vital part of the context. Unfortunately the same lack of exact information about the historical moment under examination recurs throughout the book. The author cannot be suspected of not knowing her history, but the reader, not carrying a mental timeline of the Revolution and its aftermath may need some reminders. We wait until page 117 for a more explicit recognition of the place of the Revolution in this story, yet there is still one paragraph on page 129 which mentions two versions of an argument from 1788 and 1790 without mentioning that 1789 falls between those dates. Perhaps the date is totally unimportant in this context, but the reader should be told as much.
Those of us raised in an age in which politics was deemed to be a large determinant of culture are surprised not to be told about one of the important power relations in the art of ruins until very near the end of the book, when we learn at last that predicting the ruin of a ruler's buildings was a form of compliment, since foreseeing a good future ruin reflected grandeur or nobility on the present. Perhaps we shy away from this explanation because it was a favourite of Hitler's architect, Albert Speer. By not taking it in hand early on, Dubin leaves the impression that this view originated with Robert and some of his associates, although William Chamber's 'Projected Mausoleum for Frederick, Prince of Wales Viewed as a Ruin' of 1751 shows that it was already established practice. There is of course a reluctance in French- and English-language critical traditions to quote each other, and the intertwining of London and Paris in politics, economics and the arts has only just become a recognised subject. Now there is a flowering of interest in the links. Future ruins, as well as the fashion for ruins in gardens, are recognised as crossing back and forth across the Channel, as too did perceptions of urbanism, and economic theories, particularly of trade, credit and banking. Proposals to enable ocean-going ships to reach Paris are now recognised as attempts to rectify the one matter in which, to French eyes, Paris might be thought inferior to London. Indeed, although retrospect and aesthetic judgment make us associate the opening up of medieval city centres with Parisian developments from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth century, the example of London was frequently cited in France at the time—a case of an early English start leading to a less than memorable conclusion, perhaps.
All these things narrow Dubin's analysis a little, discrediting nothing, but leaving the reader wishing the book could be filled out a little to embrace more context. Overall, we are given a full and very satisfying account of Robert's ruin pictures—better than any earlier treatment in either French or English—and undoubtedly the best source of information in English on the subject. The scholarship is detailed and accurate, so that Hubert Robert may from now on assume a more important role in our perception of his age, to measure up to the enthusiasm museum curators have always evinced for his canvases.

Texas State Highway 51 (SH 51) is a short state highway located entirely in Hansford County, Texas, just south of Spearman.
SH 51 begins at SH 207 southeast of Spearman and travels east through unincorporated Hansford County approximately 5.7 miles (9.2 km). It is a two-lane route for its entire length, and has no intersections with other state-maintained routes until its terminus at FM 281, which continues to the east and south, and FM 760, which travels north to Spearman.
The original SH 51 was designated by 1926 as a route from Sagerton to Crowell, replacing a portion of SH 28. By 1928, it extended north to the Oklahoma border. It was canceled by 1933, being replaced by SH 16. The second SH 51 was designated by 1933 as a route from Dalhart northward to the Texas–Oklahoma state line. It was extended south to McCamey by 1935, replacing SH 143 from Channing to Brownfield and the majority of SH 137 from Brownfield to McCamey. In 1942, it extended south to Sheffield. In 1956 the highway was rerouted southwest over FM 1214 from US 290 to US 90 and SH 227 from US 90 to the entrance of Big Bend National Park. The section from Rankin to Sheffield was transferred to SH 349. This entire route was canceled in 1959 when US 385 was transferred to the west. The current SH 51 was designated in 1974; its routing has remained unchanged.

The three-day WARM Festival in Sarajevo is exhibiting photographs and screening films about wars throughout the world and the issues of ethnic divisions, the refugee crisis and discrimination against minorities.
The fifth annual WARM Festival opened in the Bosnian capital on Wednesday, presenting images and films about conflicts around the world, as well as about the tragic consequences of the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia.
Issues like refugees, ethnic divisions and discrimination against minorities are also being examined at the festival, which is run by a foundation called WARM (War, Art, Reporting, Memories) that was set up by a group of journalists and artists, many of whom visited Sarajevo during the 1990s siege of the city.
"It is all reflected through the themes being dealt with, like refugees, such as the exhibition of photographs of the Rohingya, which is about the exodus of more than a million refugees in Bangladesh," the president of the WARM Foundation, Remy Ourdan, said at the festival opening in Sarajevo.
"This year in particular, just like in previous years, the Syrian war is being dealt with through four movies about the tragic consequences of the war that is still going on," he added.
Some 350 works by around 200 image-makers from the Balkans and the rest of the world will be exhibited at the city's Historical Museum and Sarajevo Storage, which is part of the National Gallery.
The Bosnian manager of the WARM Foundation, Velma Saric, said the issue of the denial of wartime crimes and genocide will be highlighted by the screening of a short film called 'Why are You Not Here?' by Aida Sehovic, the creator of a travelling memorial composed of empty coffee cups.
Saric said that in collaboration with the WARM Festival's new partner, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, a one-day seminar will be held on the educational segregation of pupils in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where schoolchildren from different ethnic groups are sometimes taught separately in the same building, a practice known as 'two schools under one roof'.
"Then we shall also have a panel discussion on endangered human rights of minority populations, in this case the Roma people," Saric added.
Adnan Pavlovic, director of the festival's film programme, said all the movies which will be screened this year were produced in 2017 and represent "the freshest display of the documentary scene dealing with post-conflict issues".
Pavlovic cited Matthew Millan's film 'Stronger than Bullets', about the role of music during the 2011 Libyan revolution, as well as Srdjan Sarenac's film about Bosnian educational segregation, 'Two Schools under One Roof'.

4.1 Understanding the polymerization process
Converting monomer to long chain polymer is the final step in the polymer manufacturing sequence. Polymerization is usually highly favourable in thermodynamic terms, mainly on energetic grounds because ordering molecules into linked chains is a process where the entropy is decreased. Heat is always given out during polymerization owing to the very favourable energetics of reaction, a point you may have noticed if you have ever made GRP parts for your car, for example!

When pumps are needed to move water, wastewater or sludge in environmentally sensitive areas, it is vital that a supplier can offer their customers a broad range of environmental accessories. The range of environmental pumping ancillaries within the Sykes hire fleet has been designed for use in tandem with our tried and tested range of pumps, ensuring clients are covered for any eventuality.
At Sykes Pumps, we consistently strive to accommodate the market's ever changing demands by bringing products to market that help alleviate everyday environmental challenges endured by the businesses we work most closely with. Having been at the forefront of the pumping industry for more than a century and a half, we have the expertise to propose and introduce products that protect the environment and can be used in conjunction with our wide range of pump hire equipment.
One of our core responsibilities is to acknowledge and adhere to strict environmental and safety legislation and to ensure that any equipment we pioneer complies with these regulations. Our prominence in this specialist field enables us to quickly grasp the advantages of modern technology which we can then incorporate into our latest product designs.
The Sykes silt range provides clients with effective separation of suspended solids and silt from water pumped through ground sources. Typically, these are used on construction sites or quarries that discharge into water courses or surface drainage systems. Water passes through the Silt Away via a Lamella plate box which splits solids contained within the fluid itself, allowing them to be dropped into the discharge chamber below. Use of these tanks allows filtered water to be discharged directly into rivers, canals and surface drains.
Sykes offer a range of standard and heavy duty settlement tanks to be used on the discharge side of any pump set. These tanks are specially designed to prevent silt and fines being discharged into the water course or drains. Each tank is provided with a series of weir plates, Bauer quick release couplings, lifting eyes and drain plugs.
Interceptor drip trays can be provided with most pumps to avoid potential environmental pollution due to fuel spillage, or oil spillage when refuelling or maintaining pumps. Even if the pump has a built-in drip tray an additional full length tray can give extra protection. These are especially beneficial when working close to waterways or where there is a risk of water pollution.
The safe transportation and storage of fuel, especially in environmentally sensitive areas, is an increasing concern for all. Sykes offers a purpose built range of fully bunded fuel tanks for hire with a capacity range from 1000 to 3000 litres. Fully compliant and tested to ADR and UN requirements for IBC, all manufactured under ISO 9001: 2000 requirements.
Venturi Jet Aerators are a fast and effective way to introduce oxygen into a lake or watercourse. The Sykes range of Venturi jet aerators are available for hire and can be fitted to the discharge side of our diesel driven surface mounted pumps or our electric submersible pumps. These units do exactly what their name suggests and increase the oxygen levels in water by mixing water with ambient air. They can also be used to aid mixing in the water industry. These units have been used on many occasions to save endangered fish stocks during periods of hot weather or where low oxygen, caused by pollution, has led to a problem.

Teaching Personnel are seeking a Nurture Practitioner on full time basis for a role within a specialist provision in Bradford.
Situated in Heaton, our client provides an alternative curriculum for 37 pupils from 5-16 years. Pupils attend from various locations in the surrounding area including Skipton, Keighley, Leeds and Huddersfield.
Pupils have a range of educational needs including Autism and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs – which has made it difficult for them to attend mainstream schooling.
As a Nurture specialist school, staff work hard to provide a calm, supportive and warm caring environment in which children can flourish, begin to achieve and be the very best that they can in all areas of their development.
The school has been specially developed to support the learning needs o f children with Autism and SEMH needs; offering a highly structured and sensory-friendly environment, in line with the SPELL framework to help to promote communication and independence.
It will be your role to support pupils to follow a personalised and individual curriculum, delivering subjects in a thematic and creative way, making learning meaningful and engaging.
You will be joining an experienced team of staff, skilled in working with children with ASC. You will ideally have expertise in working with visual prompts and timetables, PECS, TEACCH, and Objects of Reference.
As a registered candidate with Teaching Personnel, you'll benefit from the expertise of a personal Special Educational Needs Consultant, who will support you from your initial application through to your very first day in your new role! We provide you with regular feedback, and you will benefit from access to training courses such as Moving and Handling, Effective Behaviour Management, Differentiation and Team Teach (with our next course taking place in February). Please contact us today for more information.


It's a good idea to post on a regular basis and even schedule your posts so they go up at the same time each day or each week. This will inspire loyalty amoung your readers because they will get used to seeing your posts and even look forward to them. Another plus to this is that Google will start to recognize that you post at a certain time and you will get indexed faster if you post regularly.
I'd say you'd be doing yourself a favor by being brief, but keeping to a minimum word count of around 250 would be a good target as well. That's enough for you to get your point across but not so much that it'll only get skimmed.
Try and think about your keywords and imbed them into your content. This is just good communication skill as well as good SEO – you want your posts to come up high on Google if someone searches for what you are talking about.
It's a good idea to promote your blog via facebook, twitter, social bookmarking sites etc etc. Don't spam people, but it's perfectly reasonable to post in your status on facebook every once in a while that you have a new blog post and provide a link.
I'll talk more about promotion and building an audience in a future post, but that should give you something to think about for a few days. Thanks for reading!
The first thing I do after installing the latest version of wordpress is add a new user with my own naming convention and password. I usually leave the admin account even though it is default because some of the blogs I set up will have more than one user and I like the idea of having a universal admin.
If there are going to be other users I set up accounts and passwords for them right away if I know who they are. You can add more later as well.
Now all my blogs are self hosted (using dreamhost) and wordpress is installed with one click, but I also setup a new database with a new user on my host for each one. Then I setup email addresses that I want associated with the account.
The next thing I do is delete the default category of "uncategorized" and the links category of "blogroll" from the Writing Settings. In order to delete these in both cases you have to make a new category and set that as the default – then you can delete the old ones. I do this because I don't want any post to be "uncategorized" and I don't like the way "blogroll" sounds. Plus I think "links" is clearer.
Then I go through each of the settings panels and adjust things to my liking. Most of this information is pretty clear and easy to understand in wordpress, but if you don't know what something means or why you would want to change it I'd suggest doing a little research before making the change. Generally the defaults are fine, but some things I just prefer to have set up differently.
One example of something I change is the Permalinks – these determine what the url will be for your posts. You'll want to make a decision about how you want these displayed and stick with it. I personally like to have the date and the post title in the permalinks but it is up to you.
Next I set the theme. There are a few installed automatically, but I have found a ton online and you can generally find a theme that will serve whatever your needs are. You can change your theme at any time, but you'll need to be careful and make sure it supports the things you need like having enough sidebars or widget support. I also like having access to the image files and CSS so I can adjust the theme to the look of the brand the blog is for.
Next I install the plugins I like to use and are relevant to the blog. There are also a million plugins online that you can sort through and there is generally a plugin that will do whatever it is you need to do. If you don't know what you need just start blogging and you'll find your needs popping up in the form of thoughts like "Boy I sure wish my blog could…" – the answer is probably yes it can…so off to the internet to track down the right plugin. In a future post I will go through a few of the Plugins I've found that I like and find useful which might help you with a starting point.
Once the plugins are installed then it is time to adjust their settings. Now this can start to get confusing because plugins can put their settings in different places, or sometime be unclear as to how to use them once they are installed. Usually there is a web page devoted to the plugin on the creators website and often they are very clear and informative. Sometimes though, they are not. If a plugin has really poor documentation or is really unclear what the settings do I'll often go look for another plugin that treats it's users better, and I usually find one.
Next I set up my sidebars and widgets, if the theme supports them. This is another thing I try to think through and not really change too much once I've set them up because these will become part of the user experience and you want people to be able to find what they are looking for and they won't be able to if you keep changing them. I only change them when I really find that it will be an improvement for the user.
Okay, I hope that is helpful. I'll post more on the subject soon regarding widgets and plugins. If you have any questions feel free to post a comment. Thanks for reading!
I found this article by Jacob Gube today on a Linkedin group I joined called Communication Arts (posted by Will Sherwood) about 12 great tools for deciding on a website domain name.
It is a very important step in developing your business or project and it is often one of the most difficult. Every time I try to find a domain name I feel like every pronounceable combination of letters must already be taken! These tools could really help you.

College Football Officials Pondering Policy Changes After Incident With Odell Beckham Jr.
A domino effect might be on the horizon after Odell Beckham Jr.'s encounter with LSU players and a security officer that led to arrest warrants and debates about possible NCAA violations.
Speaking to USA Today Sports Thursday (Jan 16) executive director Bill Hancock said officials from the College Football Playoff will investigate practices that allow non-players to engage with players on the sidelines during events such as the national semifinals and championship games.
"Being on the sidelines is a privilege," Hancock told the outlet. "Along with any privilege comes responsibility, because the focus should be on the people playing and coaching in the game, rather than on any visitors. The CFP will be reviewing its policy for allowing guests onto the sidelines and into locker rooms at future games."
While the LSU Tigers beat Clemson Monday to secure a spot in the national championship, all eyes were on the Cleveland Browns wide receiver for handing out money to players and slapping the buttocks of a Superdome security guard. The incident took place in the LSU locker room. It was initially reported that the money was fake but it was confirmed that the money was actually real.
Video of the incident went viral and just a few days later, New Orleans Police Department public affairs officer Juan Barnes confirmed that the security guard filed the complaint. An arrest warrant for simple battery was issued against Beckham Jr. on Thursday.
The NFL star and former LSU player possibly committed an NCAA violation "if it's determined athletes with eligibility remaining received cash," USA Today Sports mentions. OBJ and his representatives are cooperating with authorities, the Browns said in a statement.

— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) January 16, 2020
LSU will now investigate the incident to confirm if any NCAA violations were committed and if it will affect any of the players seen in the video.
Many have pointed exactly why the officer was in the locker room in the first place. As the players were celebrating their big win, the security guard allegedly threatened the players who were smoking cigars in the locker room. Stephen A. Smith reacted to the news and the NCAA possible violation as "bogus."
Whitney Houston And Notorious B.I.G. Among 2020 Rock Hall of Fame Inductees
The 35th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will welcome a mixed bag of legends that include the late Whitney Houston and Notorious B.I.G. as well as Depeche Mode, the Doobie Brothers, Nine Inch Nails and psychedelic folk band T.Rex.
According to Variety, the ceremony will air live for the first time ever on May 2 via HBO. Viewers can expect a long list of tribute performances given three of the inductees (Houston, B.I.G. and T. Rex) are no longer with us. Biggie, born Christopher Wallace, is the seventh rapper to given the honor. He joins Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-D.M.C., N.W.A., the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and Tupac Shakur. The Brooklyn legend is also the first rapper to be inducted since Shakur in 2017.
Artists who were nominated but not inducted this year were Pat Benatar, Judas Priest, Kraftwerk, Dave Matthews Band, MC5, Motorhead, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Todd Rundgren, Soundgarden and Thin Lizzy. Khan has been nominated a total of six times–solo and with her group Rufus.
Last year's inductees were Janet Jackson, the Cure, Def Leppard, Stevie Nicks, Radiohead, Roxy Music and the Zombies. It's currently unknown who will induct Houston or Biggie. In the past, fellow music titans have inducted artists. In 2007, Jay Z inducted Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, Janelle Monae inducted Jackson in 2019 and Mary J. Blige inducted Solomon Burke in 2001 and Nina Simone in 2018.

Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Lopez And Six Other Major Oscar 2020 Snubs
If you listened closely to Monday morning's announcements of the 92nd Annual Academy Awards, there was a certain snark to Issa Rae's reaction to the Best Director nods. With no women or people of color listed, Rae joked, "Congratulations to those men," reminding us of a long list of snubs who are hard to ignore.
Out of the 24 categories presented, just a few people of color were honored. One being Cynthia Ervio for her performance in Harriet and the team behind the critically acclaimed horror-dramedy hybrid, Parasite. Matthew Cherry earned his first Oscar nomination for the touching animated short, Hair Love, which won over the hearts of many.
Meanwhile, notable performances from Lupita Nyong'o to Eddie Murphy seemed to be totally forgotten. Playing two characters worlds apart was a feat Nyong'o accomplished with ease in the Jordan Peele-directed thriller, Us. Still, it wasn't enough to secure a nomination. Murphy's hilarious comeback as comedy legend Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite Is My Name was a hit with fans and critics alike but hasn't received as much love as it should in the award season. While Jennifer Lopez's role in Hustlers earned her a Golden Globe nomination, she too was shut out from the Oscar's race.
Other snubs are a blend of overlooked performances in general. Take Alfre Woodard and Jamie Foxx for their respected performances in Clemency and Just Mercy. Both actors stepped up to the plate in these crime dramas. We don't know if the rich tradition of slave-driven films have daunted the Academy's vision of seeing black actors play anything outside of it, but the actors showcased their best abilities on the big screen. We received some clarity on Foxx's absent nomination as Variety reports that Warner Bros. studio released the film nationwide until after ballots closed last weekend. Lena Waithe and Melina Matsoukas' Queen and Slim also took a lot of creative risks that didn't work out in their favor in the awards sector.
But the shut outs weren't limited to just black actors. Cho Yeo-jeong provided a stellar performance in Parasite that went unnoticed for a Best Actress nomination.
As far as music goes, it seemed like Beyoncè would be a shoo-in for "Sprit," her song from The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack which she executively produced. Her flavor of R&B mixed with Afrobeat was daring and met some controversy due to the lack of variety on the project, but "Spirit" was a grandiose yet gentle song that stood out on the project.
And lastly, for the second year in a row, there were no women nominated in the best director category. Nominees included Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Bong Joon-ho, Sam Mendes and Todd Phillips. Keeping all of this in mind makes Rae's subtle shade burn a bit more don't you think?
See reactions to the snubs below.
I've been thinking for an hour about how there are more Scarlett Johansson nominations than people of color nominations in the acting category this year. Please make it make sense.

Nuusita Ashipala Oshakati-The case in which 45-year-old Bester Matengu Lutalelo is accused of six counts of arson, kidnapping, murder, assault, and assault by threat could not proceed in the Oshakati Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. Judge Marlene Tommasi postponed the matter to September 21 to allow the defence to amend its reply, in view of the new statements that were disclosed after the pre-trial conferencing. Defence lawyer Phineas Nsundano told the court he was not ready to proceed with the trial, because he was ambushed by the state. He said the State confronted him with five new witness statements four days because the start of trial was set to start. This was despite the statements having been taken already in March this year. State Advocate Taodagog Gaweseb said the initial advocate representing the State in the matter had informed him that such disclosure had in fact been made with the defence, contrary to what transpired in court. Lutatelo is facing two charges of assault. He is alleged to have set the house of one Kalimukwa Sabrina Mpambo and that of Lota Anna Kusimbukwa on fire, damaging property valued over N$80,000 at Sikwekwe village in Katima Mulilo on June 22, 2015. He is further charged with kidnapping for allegedly locking the door of Kuzimbuka and preventing her from moving out of the building while the house was on fire, thereby killing her. For this he faces an additional murder charge. Lutelo also faces a charge of assault for allegedly assaulting Mpambo, as well as an assault by threat charge for threatening to assault Sifu Obrien Nchindo and stab him with a spear.

What would be an ideal fidelity measure to determine the closeness between two non unitary matrices?
The Hibert Schmidt norm $\mathrm {tr}(A^{\dagger}B)$ works well for unitaries. It has a value of one when the matrices are equal and less than one otherwise. But this norm is absolutely unsuitable for non-unitary matrices. I thought maybe $\frac{\mathrm{tr}(A^{\dagger}B)}{\sqrt{\mathrm{tr}(A^{\dagger}A)} \sqrt{\mathrm{tr}(B^{\dagger}B)}}$ would be a good idea?
Tejas ShettyTejas Shetty
When you ask about an 'ideal' fidelity measure, it assumes that there is one measure which inherently is the most meaningful or truest measure. But this isn't really the case.
For unitary operators, our analysis of the error used in approximating one unitary by another involves the distance induced by the operator norm: $$ \bigl\lVert U - V \bigr\rVert_\infty := \max_{\substack{\lvert \psi\rangle \ne \mathbf 0}} \frac{\bigl \lVert (U - V) \lvert \psi \rangle \bigr\rVert_2}{\bigl \lVert \lvert \psi \rangle \bigr\rVert_2} $$ That is, it is the greatest factor by which the Euclidean norm (or 2-norm) of a vector will be increased by the action of $(U - V)$: if the two operators are very nearly equal, this factor will be very small.
I know you asked for norms on non-unitary matrices, but if a norm is useful for non-unitary matrices, you might hope that it would also be useful for unitary matrices, and the point here is that the 'operator norm' is. It is also useful for (non-unitary) observables: for two Hermitian operators $E$ and $F$ — representing evolution Hamiltonians, for instance, or measurement projectors — the operator norm $\lVert E - F \rVert$ conveys how similar $E$ and $F$ are in a way which directly relates to how easily you can operationally distinguish one from the other.
On the other hand, for density operators $\rho$ and $\sigma$, the best distance measure to describe how easily you can distinguish them is the trace norm: $$\bigl\lVert \rho - \sigma \bigr\rVert_{\mathrm{tr}} := \mathrm{tr} \Bigl( \sqrt{(\rho - \sigma) ^2} \Bigr)$$ which is the same as (in fact, it's just a fancy way of writing) the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of $(\rho - \sigma) $: if the two operators are very nearly equal, this sum will be very small.
So, which norm you want to use to describe distances on operators, depends on what those operators are and what you would like to say about them.

JAKARTA (TheInsiderStories) – The step of incumbent Joko Widodo and his running mate Ma'ruf Amin stumbled by a corruption case that ensnared some of his supporting party officials. Otherwise, the contender allegedly issued hoax news before the presidential election.
After arrested chairman of the Persatuan Pembanguan party Romahurmuziy, the anti-graft body last month, high-ranking Golkar Party official Bowo Sidik Pangarso detained and began to reveal the involvement of other officials such as Nusron Wahid, the main spokesman for the incumbent' national winning team.
Romahurmuziy allegedly received a bribe of Rp300 million related to the selection of positions within the Ministry of Religion in 2018-2019. A number of officials in this ministry were also being questioned, even the names of the Minister of Religion were reported to be called too.
As chairman of the party, Romahurmuziy was very close to Widodo especially after joining the incumbent support coalition in the 2019 presidential election. He also held an important position as the steering committee in the incumbent national winning team.
The Romahurmuziy case has not yet finished, it is the turn of the troubled Golkar party. At the end of March, Golkar politician Pangarso was arrested and made a suspect in a case of alleged bribery between PT Pupuk Indonesia and PT Humpuss Transportasi Kimia.
He reportedly received a bribe of Rp8 billion (US$567,376), which was received in stages. Interestingly, the money was alleged by the anti-graft commission to launch the 'dawn attack' on the voting day because it had already been in the Rp50,000 and Rp20,000 denominations that had been put into thousands of envelopes.
Interestingly, after undergoing an investigation on Tuesday (04/9), Pangarso claimed he was told by Golkar officials Nusron Wahid, spokesman for the incumbent winning team. Even though Wahid himself directly denied the accusation, Pangarso acknowledged that the anti-graft commission was the initial clue to investigate the involvement of Wahid.
A number of corruption cases are directly proportional to the decreasing electability of incumbents ahead of voting. At the end of 2018, entering early 2019, the electability of incumbents is still in the range of 50-55 percent in a number of survey institutions, leading 20 percent of the opposition who get 30-35 percent of the vote.
The electability of incumbents continues to decline along with various national situations, one of which is the corruption case that befell the supporting parties and winning teams.
Kompas photographed Widodo-Amin's significant decline in electability in late March. The agency also noted the difference between the two candidates was around 11.8 percent with incumbents gaining 49.2 percent compared to 37.4 percent belonging to the opposition.
While the Kompas survey five months earlier still recorded the difference between the two still within 19.9 percent with incumbents leading 52.6 percent, opposition with 32.7 percent.
The decline was increasingly sharp in the Vox Populi survey conducted from March 18 to April 1. Incumbents led thin at 48.8 percent versus 43.3 percent of the opposition. The difference between them is only 5.5 percent.
Even the internal opposition survey released two days ago showed the superiority of Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno at 62 percent compared to 38 percent belonging to incumbents.
Similar results were taken from a survey of Pusat Kajian Kebijakan dan Pembangunan Strategis which called opposition electability at 47.59 percent compared to 45.37 belonging to incumbents. The winning difference is predicted to be only 2.14 percent.
Even, the survey of Precision Public Policy Polling from the United States showed Subianto – Uno pair to win the presidential election, with an electability 55 percent and JWidodo – Amin by 39 percent.
The potential for opposition to win the presidential election began to appear with the presence of thousands of mass who packed the Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta last Sunday. The presence of thousands of people is a challenge for incumbents who will hold grand campaigns in the same place this week.
Even the opposition has challenged the incumbent to be able to bring the same number of masses. The contender has smelled an attempt to mass mobilize employees of state-owned companies to join the incumbent's grand campaign on Saturday.
"There is a rumor on the mobilization of state companies employees to the campaign, they are allegedly forced to attend there," opposition campaign team' spokesman Andre Rosiade told reporters in Jakarta, on Monday (04/08).
According to him, based on the information he received, the presence of employees will be recorded and those who are absent will get severe sanction. The mobilization is allegedly carried out to vie with the opposition' campaign last Sunday, he added.
Additionally, he went on, his side heard about the distribution of staple food program in the stadium area that coincides with the launching event of the e-payment service platform, LinkAja. The fintech product is initiated by the partnership of state enterprises.
Thus, he demanded Minister of State-owned Enterprises Rini Soemarno clarify the issue in public and reminded the minister to refrain from using her authority for the interest of practical politics. He further demanded the General Election Commission and the Election Watch to investigate the information and take actions if the issue proved to be true.
The Election Watch is also still awaited by the Advokat Cinta Tanah Air (ACTA) for the continuation of the case against the Minister of Maritime Affairs, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, for allegedly carrying out money politics and a number of other election violations.
ACTA reported Pandjaitan after a video showing him giving an envelope to a cleric in Madura, East Java last week. Even though he acts as a state official who has not submitted a leave letter to be able to campaign for one of the candidates.
The commission is currently still searching for evidence and gathering witnesses for the incident. After the examination of witnesses, the minister will be summoned and will be processed for 14 days.
"At present, we have examined a number of witnesses in the case of alleged money politics carried out by Pandjaitan. If necessary, we will call him to be asked for clarification," commission' member Rahmat Bagja told reporters on Wednesday (04/10).


Pages that you publish on the web are normally available to anyone. You can, however, restrict access to your web pages to the U-M community or to groups and/or individuals within it. Those who wish to view your pages must first log in with their uniqname and UMICH password. This document tells you how to publish web pages that only the U-M community — or specific groups and individuals in that community — can access.
Open a web browser and navigate to https://mfile.umich.edu/make-webspace.
Authenticate using your uniqname and UMICH password.
Based on your membership in certain groups, you will see a list of available webspaces that can be restricted.
Click the checkbox next to the webspace you wish to make private, and then click prepare selected webspaces.
A private HTML directory (your private web space) — with all the necessary access privileges already set — will be created for you.
Log out of the Make Webspace page when finished.
To restrict access to your web pages to the U-M community, you will need to move the files for these pages into your private HTML directory (or folder). Inside your AFS home or group directory is a Private folder. Inside that is a folder called html. Move the files for the web pages into the html folder.
Tip If you already published the Web page(s) previously, you will need to remove the corresponding files from the html folder in your Public folder.
Windows: Use WinSCP. For information about obtaining and using WinSCP, refer to: Use WinSCP to Transfer Files with sftp [Windows].
Mac OS X: We recommend that you use the Fugu program, which provides a graphical user interface to the secure file transfer capability of the Mac operating system.
where you have substituted your own uniqname for uniqname (do not type the angle brackets).
where you have substituted the name of your group for groupname (do not type the angle brackets).
Note HTTPS: The URLs begin with https instead of http. The s stands for a secure http connection and is required.
Anyone who navigates to the URL for your pages (including you) will receive a Login required screen. Log in with a uniqname and UMICH password to connect to the page.
Create a private HTML directory (see instructions earlier in this document).
Move your web files into the private directory (see instructions earlier in this document).
You can then further restrict access to individuals or groups within the U-M community by using .htaccess files.
To work with .htaccess files, you should understand how to use a Unix text editor — such as pico or vi — to create and edit files. For instructions, refer to Using the Unix Text Editor Pico or Using the Unix Text Editor vi.
If you wish to restrict access to groups of people (rather than to individuals), you also need to know how to create and work with protection (pts) groups. For instructions, see Creating and Using Protection (pts) Groups for AFS .
To further restrict access to the web files in a particular directory, create a .htaccess file in that directory that specifies who can have access.
Connect to the ITS Login Service (login.itd.umich.edu).
Use the Unix text editor of your choice to create a file named .htaccess — note the leading period.
To grant access to individuals, begin the second line with Require user. Then add the uniqnames of the individuals who will be granted access to your webspace.
To allow access to MCommunity Directory groups, begin the second line with Require ldap-group, followed by cn=<GROUP>,ou=User Groups,ou=Groups,dc=umich,dc=edu (where <GROUP>) is the group name.
To grant access to U-M Friend accounts, begin the second line with Require user. Then specify the email address of the individuals who will be granted access to your webspace.
Save the .htaccess file inside the directory containing the web files to which you want to restrict access.
For example, using Pico, hold down the Control key and press the letter O. When prompted for a file name, type Private/html/.htaccess then press Enter or Return. To exit Pico, hold down the Control key and press X.
Note Restrictions are enforced on a directory-by-directory basis, so you can make a subdirectory that is more narrowly restricted than Private/html.
You could restrict Private/html to members of the U-M community, restrict Private/html/assignment1 to the students and teaching assistants of a class, and restrict Private/html/assignment1/grades to only the teaching assistants. Note that restrictions can be narrowed in subdirectories, but you cannot have a subdirectory that is more widely available than its parent directory.
For a more complete overview of .htaccess files, refer to Setting up Access Control for Your HTML Documents.
For information on accessing the pages that you have restricted access to, see Accessing the Restricted Pages earlier in this document.

No Crystal Stair is a 1997 novel by Canadian author Mairuth Sarsfield.

The title is a reference to the line "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair" in Langston Hughes's poem "Mother to Son".

Plot summary
No Crystal Stair is a coming-of-age story set in the Little Burgundy district of Montreal during the 1940s.

Widow Marion Willow works at two jobs to raise her three daughters properly. Fighting racism and sexism, Marion schools her girls in manners, English poetry and the need for an education; her elegant neighbour and rival (both women are in love with railway porter Edmund Thompson) teaches the children the ways of the street and their black cultural heritage.

Major themes
Two themes in the novel run through No Crystal Stair: passing as white and surviving as black. Sarsfield recounts a story about the desire to survive, all the while depicting the cosmopolitan Montreal of the 1940s, a city inhabited by jazz musicians, socialites, artists and gangsters.

Reception
No Crystal Stair was one of the selected novels in the 2005 edition of Canada Reads, where it was defended by Olympic fencer Sherraine MacKay.

The book received reviews from publications including Herizons, School Library Journal, Quill & Quire, and New York Amsterdam News.

The book was the subject of articles in the journals Canadian Review of American Studies and Essays on Canadian Writing.

Q: insert / delete balise I want to add a p tag in a div tag when I click a button, and also when I click on a p tag i want to delete the p tag I clicked on.
This is my Jquery:
$('#ajou').click(function(){
    alert( $('#skill').val());
    $('#skills').append('
'+$('#skill').val()+'
');
});

$("p").click(function(){
    $(this).remove();
});`

And this is my HTML:
 <input type="text" id="skill" name="skill">
 <button id="ajou" name="ajou">Valide</button>

hello

To be specific, when I click on the button Valid the text I entered in the input is add to my
 but when I want to delete it I can't, only
hello
 will remove it when I click on it.

A: Edited to full sample and to only remove
 elements when clicked on. Works for both static and dynamic
 elements.
HTML:

<input type="text" id="skill" name="skill">
<button id="ajou" name="ajou">Valide</button>

hello

JAVASCRIPT:
$('#ajou').click(function(){
    alert( $('#skill').val());
    $('#skills').append('
'+$('#skill').val()+'
');
});

$(document).on('click', '#skills p', function(events){
    events.target.remove();
});

The latter is to bind the removal function to the parent element (#skills) simply because the children will be dynamically added later, so could not be bound beforehand. Once you catch the click on the parent it is possible to remove the clicked child
 (targeted element).

A: Slight change to your event handler to give it scope:
$('#skills').on('click', 'p', function(){
    $(this).remove();
});

This allows the event to be bound to the skills and thus allow all paragraphs (p) to be removed from within that scope.  Binding to the p element only binds to the currently existing paragraphs (anywhere in the document) and not those added.

A: $('div', {
    id: 'foo',
    name: 'anything',
    title: 'adding these attributes is not necessary',
    text: 'Waow, I am one sexy p tag'
}).appendTo($('.myDiv'));

'Economist Gandhi': How Gandhi took stock of economics
Updated At: Jan 09, 2022 12:12 PM (IST)
Economist Gandhi: The Roots and the Relevance of the Political Economy of the Mahatma by Jaithirth Rao. Penguin Random House. Pages 256. Rs599
Book Title: Economist Gandhi: The Roots and the Relevance of the Political Economy of the Mahatma
Author: Jaithirth Rao
Manish Sharma
In the very first line of the Foreword, Rajmohan Gandhi sets the tone for the book: "While its title might surprise those unaware of Gandhi's involvement with economics, the book also enlightens the reader with some of Gandhi's views on ethics, religion, human nature and society."
Concerned as Mahatma Gandhi was with the worker in a plant, the mill owner, and with the spinner and weaver of khadi, he was just as keen on the consumer.
Confronting Gandhi the economist, the author Jaithirth Rao, he writes, identifies a key Gandhi focus: the consumer. "Concerned as Gandhi is with the worker in a plant, with the mill's owner, and with the spinner and weaver of khadi, he is just as keen, Rao shows, on the consumer of the cloth, or of anything else jointly created by labour and capital."
The author has effectively divided the easy-to-read and cogent work into 12 chapters, offering insights into the influences on the Mahatma since his childhood.
The first chapter, with a focus on applied economics, mentions how Gandhi's philosophy has been used by people like Nobel laureate George Akerkof and Rachel Kranton. "Gandhi had proposed a radical system and methodology for school education through Nai Talim or New Learning programme. This approach places tinkering at the heart of learning and skill development. It deserves to be studied and explored as the Mahatma's unique contribution in the area of the economics of human capital development." In the same chapter, the author mentions that Gandhi was not anti-business or anti-capitalist.
'Gandhi, the English Lawyer' talks about his concept of trusteeship, considered one of the high points of English common law. It shows how his thoughts and practical ideas were used later on in Article 142 of the Constitution, based on the concept of 'equity within us', which was the centrepiece of Gandhi's thought. The Mahatma attributed this to the Gita's teachings and the concept of non-possession.
'Bania Gandhi' talks about his return from South Africa in 1915, his tour of India and identifying Ahmedabad as his main centre of action because of the wealthy Jain 'Anandji Kalyanji Trust'. It maintained the upkeep of important Jain temples and believed in the concept of service to others.
The chapter 'Gandhi and the Christian Message' starts with his lecture in 1916 on 'Does economic progress clash with real progress?', which in a way corelates with the love for the Gospels and his first book 'Hind Swaraj', where he mentions that 'Jesus is hailed as the greatest economist of his time'.
'Gandhi and the Isavasya (also known as Isa) Upanishad' helps in understanding his views on political economy, and how religion and scriptures changed his perception about wealth, capitalism and trusteeship, and centered him towards humanity.
In 'Adam Smith and the Mahatma', the author mentions that the interesting thing about the two was that they were both acutely sensitive to the need to attempt one's level-best to extend personal moral judgments into the sphere of social interactions with other human beings. Gandhi supported the free market and also emphasised individual freedom.
'Economist Gandhi: A Guru Relevant for Today' defines the relevance of Gandhi for the wealthy, the poor, for business relationships, the state and above all, for human capital. And all these can be seen in his principles of truth, non-violence, charkha and Nai Talim.
According to Gandhi, life cannot be divided into watertight compartments. The author quotes him: "I do not know of any religion apart from human activity. It provides a moral basis of all other activities, which they would otherwise lack, reducing life to a maze of sound and fury signifying nothing."
An omission, if any, in the scholarly volume is less space to peasant movements and mill strikes.

88 Frenzy Fortune Slot
For those of you who are fans of unique and somewhat unusual gaming experiences when it comes to video slots, the 88 Frenzy Fortune slot would probably be the game you are looking for. The gameplay is definitely not what most of the players are used to, so continue reading this review to find out if this is the game for you.
88 Frenzy Fortune Slot Online
About 88 Frenzy Fortune Slot
Design, Symbols and Graphics
RTP, Variance and Payouts
Gameplay and Features
88 Frenzy Fortune Slot on Mobile
88 Frenzy Fortune slot definitely stands out from the crowd when it comes to the overall experience. With its unique rules and unusual gameplay, it is not something that is seen very often.
88 Frenzy Fortune slot is brought to us by one of the more well-known developers of video slot games, BetSoft. They have developed some very popular games such as Lava Gold, Take Olympus, Golden Horns and so many more.
BetSoft is widely known for their extremely creative games, and incredibly high graphics and game design, but perhaps they wanted to try out something new, as this game does not seem to fit those criteria to the fullest.
The 88 Frenzy Fortune slot seems to have an abstract nature, as it is not based on anything in particular. It has 3 rows and 4 reels in total, of which the fourth reel is separated from the first 3. What's more, this game only has 1 active payline. The bets range from £0.06 to £30, with the maximum payout reaching 2,386x the stake. The Features like Multipliers and Respins in this game can only be achieved through the fourth reel.
Designs, Symbols and Graphics
There are 2 types of themes present in the 88 Frenzy Fortune slot. There is the Asian theme, and then there is the space theme. The graphics of the game is not bad, but it seems that it falls a bit short when it comes to the design. The backdrop of the game presents outer space, galaxies, planets and shooting stars, which is well done and it adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the game.
The reels are quite plain and have no particular design to them, except when they are spinning. When it comes to the animations of the game, when the reels are spinning, the first 3 reels are engulfed in red flames, while the fourth reel has blue flames around it, which definitely helps bring colour and flashy elements to the game.
The Asian theme of the game comes from the symbols, as they are clearly inspired by Chinese culture. In ascending order, according to their value, the symbols are: the one koi fish, the two koi fish, the two silver Lucky Number 8s, the two golden Lucky Number 8s, and finally, the two flaming Lucky Number 8s. These are the regular symbols that appear on the first 3 reels, and this game doesn't have any Wild or Scatter symbols.
The fourth reel is reserved for symbols that trigger the Features of 88 Frenzy Fortune slot. A winning combination is achieved when 3 symbols land on the middle row, as that is the only active payline, and if a Feature symbol lands on the middle row in the same spin, that activates the corresponding Feature.
RTP, Variance and Payouts for 88 Frenzy Fortune Slot
The 88 Frenzy Fortune RTP stands at 96% which is the standard RTP when it comes to video slot games. The volatility of this game is medium, which means that rewards come fairly frequent, and that makes this game perfect for those who like balance and are not fans of huge risks.
If you want to learn more about the RTP and volatility of the games, please check out our Variance, Volatility and RTP Guide.
Gameplay and Features on 88 Frenzy Fortune Slot
Apart from the design, and the obvious lack of Wild and Scatter symbols, which are considered a kind of staple to most video slot games, what makes the 88 Frenzy Fortune slot so unique and different is the gameplay itself.
When spinning the reels, players will notice that not every position on the reels is going to have a symbol. In this game, some of the positions will remain blank, which means that not every spin will result in a winning combination.
As for the Features on the fourth reel, they can only be activated if the feature symbol lands on the middle row along with a winning combination, and there are three possible options:
Orange Multiplier Symbol
The orange multiplier will give you additional cash prizes of either 8x or 18x the stake.
Purple Multiplier Symbol
The purple multiplier will multiply your winning combination by x2, x5, or x8.
Respin Feature
When the Respin Feature is activated, the reels spin again and the winning combination lines up one more time, this can happen up to 5 times, only if the Respin symbol keeps landing on the middle row.
This game is mobile friendly as well, which means that you can also play it on your mobile browser without any difficulties.
Other BetSoft Slots
As we mentioned before, BetSoft is known for developing some really great quality games, so if you are looking for something exciting check out some of their other games:
Lava Gold - this game takes you back millions of years ago to the age of the dinosaurs and catastrophic volcanic eruptions. It has 5 rows, 5 reels, and a winning combination means landing at least 5 identical symbols in a cluster. The bets range from £0.25 to £25, with the maximum payout being 161x the stake. This is a low-medium volatility game, with an RTP of 96.02%, which makes it perfect for anyone who wants frequent wins and little risk.
Take Olympus - play alongside 5 of the mighty Olympian Gods, as each one of them reigns over the reels for 10 spins and they affect the gameplay with their special powers. It consists of 4 rows, 5 reels, and 50 paylines. The bets range from £0.20 to £40, with the maximum payout being 2,328x the stake. Frequent rewards are guaranteed since it's a low variance game with an RTP of 95.49%
Golden Horns - this Chinese-themed video slot game has the classic 3 reels and 1 payline layout, but it's definitely one of the best ones of its kind. The minimum bet is £0.20, while the maximum is £45, and the maximum payout is 25,344x the stake. It is a high variance game with an RTP of 96.26%, which means that it is a high-risk game with not so frequent winnings.
SlotsWise Verdict
88 Frenzy Fortune slot is definitely different from other games we have seen from BetSoft in terms of design, gameplay, and the overall experience. With its unique rules and specific way of playing, it is not something that players often come across when playing these games and it definitely takes some getting used to.
