Minneapolis Location
Hutton Arena
The birthplace of intercollegiate basketball.
The Piper men's and women's basketball programs and volleyball team call the historic Hutton Arena their home. Hutton Arena uses a Robbins maple floor. First opened in 1937, the arena has been the site of many historic victories, including Hamline's National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) championship-winning men's basketball teams in 1942, 1949, and 1951. Legendary head coach Joe Hutton, Sr., coached the Pipers to 12 NAIA tournament appearances and 19 MIAC Championships (won or shared). Under Hutton, Hamline's total MIAC record was 347-99.
Seven "Huttonmen" went on to professional basketball careers after their collegiate days, including John Norlander, Howie Schultz, Rollie Seltz, Hal Haskins, Vern Mikkelsen, Jim Fritsche, and Joe Hutton, Jr. Hutton also had the opportunity for a professional career, but in 1949, he turned down a chance to coach the Minneapolis Lakers to stay at Hamline and coach his older son. Hutton retired in 1965 and in 1986, the fieldhouse was renamed the Joe W. Hutton Arena in honor of his phenomenal career at Hamline.
Hamline University is known as the "birthplace of intercollegiate basketball." Hamline hosted and played in the world's first intercollegiate basketball game on February 9, 1895. The Pipers took on the School of Agriculture, which was connected with the University of Minnesota, losing by a score of 9-3. Though the rules and the way the game was played are different from today's game, the game was truly an historic moment, not only for Hamline, but for the future of collegiate basketball.

Thessia Machado's Sound Art
By Jeffrey Arlo Brown · Photography Christina Stoll · Date 05/11/2017
In his book Skyfaring: A Journey With a Pilot, Mark Vanhoenacker writes, "The truth that air is as substantive as concrete remains as counterintuitive as any of science's most inscrutable revelations." The sound artist Thessia Machado makes a similar statement: "Working with sound allows me to think of the air in which we all swim as yet another malleable and responsive, physical material," she has said. Machado is currently a fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. We met up with her on a rainy afternoon to photograph and discuss her new installation "Telix," which will open in the gallery SOMOS here on May 17.
"My friend said, 'We have a fax machine that we're going to throw out. Do you want it?' And I said, 'Sure.' And that is the piece."
"It was late at night. I was coming back from an event. And there was this one escalator that had this really cool rhythm going, so I just recorded it."
"There's a lot of untangling wires—I feel like that's half my life."
"The thing about reversing sounds that I found, especially with a piano that has such a long decay, is that it actually creates this sense of tension. Instead of playing the chord and having the release, it's this building up to something."
"I try to keep a space safe for the piece to tell me what it wants to be."
"One of the bigger speakers I found on a TV set in the street. I was walking with two fellows, and we saw this, and we were like, 'speakers.' So they helped me get them out. Right there on the street. We didn't have tools, so we were jumping on it to break the plastic."
"It's that sense of danger that you as an artist have to put yourself into. Something has to be at stake."
"Should I turn it on?" ¶
The Air In Which We Swim

I love your ten frames Shelley. Please make a download of these. They would be wonderful to have!
Thank you Shelley. My kinders really enjoy these!
Thank you so much for all that you do. I really rely on your material for my pre-k program. I can't thank you enough for how much you have helped our little ones through the years!


This may not be an original idea, but it keeps me from getting lonely when flying alone. I used my Sony Walkman to integrate music through my comtronics communication system. I took two sets of old headphones that no longer worked and cut off the ear muff ends. I connected the two wires together so the plug was on each end. I bought an adapter at Radio Shack for a couple dollars to plug into the co-pilot outlet. Plug all this together and the music comes in loud and clear through my helmet. I play cassette tapes and the radio has excellent reception while still being able to hear the hum of the engine.

Oh my....it was sweltering yesterday. Course that was the day we chose to visit Chimney Rock, a location with no shade and rattlesnakes. I normally don't sweat but yesterday I was sticky, yucky. Nursing a baby in the heat is also no fun. The kids had a blast checking out the old pioneer cemetery and enjoying the view from the outlook area. Amelia was intent on having a picnic on top of Chimney Rock. She was not happy when we did not hike out there and use our cat claws to climb to the top of the rock. I could not believe the clear blue sky.
The kids had a blast in the museum filling the hand cart with items the Pioneers put in their wagons. They loaded and unloaded the cart several times. We drove up to Bayard to find shade and a park for our picnic. A nice large chocolate lab decided to join us for lunch. Seth was not so happy about that. The other kids were still a little shy of the dog's size but made friends with him. We did not stay long! Traveling and nursing baby equals lots of stopping.
It was super hot and humid, just perfect for swimming in the sideyard. I set up the slip and slide as well. The kids enjoyed playing in the water. We BBQ'd some chicken for dinner. While I was tending the chicken little Everett gave me some cute alert smiles and cooing noises.
Holy soaker of a storm hit us around 8:30 pm. Miekka counted 38 strikes of lightening in one minute! A couple of the thunder booms popped me right off my feet the reverberations were so strong. We had a little flooding in front of our home. The kids enjoyed watching our crazy Nebraska weather.
My Grandpa Everett Baerwaldt suffered a major stroke on Thursday. The week before he suffered a minor stroke but seemed to recover from that one. He was life-flighted down to UofU NCCU ward shortly after the second stroke. He is not doing well as of this morning. Last night his bowels started to shut down and has some bleeding on his brain. We are praying for him to pass on quickly and as painlessly as possible. He lived a full and marvelous life.


Lower Pennsylvanian, coal-bearing, siliciclastic strata of the central Appalachian foreland basin were deposited in continental to marginal marine environments influenced by high-amplitude relative sea level fluctuations. Sediment was derived from both the low-grade metamorphic terrain of the emergent Alleghanian orogen towards the southeast, and the cratonic Archean Superior Province in the north. Immature sediments derived proximally from the Alleghanian orogen, including sublithic sandstone bodies, were deposited as a southeasterly-thickening clastic wedge within a southeast-northwest oriented transverse drainage system. Texturally and mineralogically mature quartzarenites were deposited in strike-parallel elongate belts along the western periphery of the basin. These mature quartzarenites are braided fluvial in origin and were deposited within northeast-southwest oriented axial drainage head-watered in a northerly cratonic source area. The contemporaneity of transverse and axial fluvial systems defines a trunk--tributary drainage system operating in the central Appalachian foreland basin during the early Pennsylvanian.
Detailed analysis of core, gamma ray logs, and cross-sections reveals a hierarchy of bounding discontinuities and architectural elements within the study interval. Discontinuities are both erosional and depositional (condensed) surfaces of interpreted 3rd-order (~ 2.5 Ma) and 4th-order (~ 400 k.y.) origin. Architectural elements within 4th-order sequences consist of upward-fining lowstand and transgressive incised valley fill, alluvial, and estuarine deposits, and upward-coarsening highstand deltaic deposits that are separated by condensed sections. 4th-order sequences are stacked into 3rd-order composite sequences. Sequence stratigraphic architecture in the central Appalachian basin can therefore be attributed to 4th-order Milankovitch orbital eccentricity cycles superimposed on 3rd-order orogenically driven subsidence, or more likely, 4th-order Milankovitch orbital eccentricity cycles superimposed on a lower-frequency eccentricity cycle. The widespread nature of both 3rd- and 4th-order marine flooding zones and sequence boundaries enables both genetic and depositional sequence stratigraphy to be applied to terrigenous to marginal marine coal-bearing strata of the central Appalachian basin.
Regionally extensive coal beds occur in close association with both 4th-order condensed sections as well as within highstand deltaic deposits. Formation of coal beds in the central Appalachian basin of southwest Virginia is therefore attributed to both an allocyclic glacio-eustatic mechanism, associated with Milankovitch orbital eccentricity cycles, and autocyclic deltaic processes related to channel avulsion and delta lobe switching.

Q: Do offline maps downloaded using here maps MapLoader expire? If I use HERE's Android SDK and preload map data to the device storage,
do I need to reload these data every n days?
We are operating a demand responsive transport system in an area with poor cellular coverage. Having to relocate the cars periodically to some designated wifi access point would be inconvenient and integrating our vehicle dispatcher algorithm with off-the-shelve SatNavs is just not possible.

A: No, offline data is not expiring, nor needs to be refreshed.
If you are using also online services (and don't operate fully offline) it might happen that some online services (e.g. online routing, traffic, online search) respond with no or bad results with older mapdata (mostly something older than a year). So, if you also have online usecases, please consider a mapupdate every half a year.
Also keep in mind, that outdated mapdata might cause a bad user experience with newly build roads or changed road networks.

Q: JavaScript nested loop - replaced by .map() and .some() methods I have two arrays, I'm trying to update the object of the first array with the object from the second array if name is changed. I can do that with nested loop but I can't figured out with .map() and .some() methods
const result1 = [{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "name1"
},
{
    "id": 2,
    "name": "name2"
}]

const result2 = [{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "name1"
},
{
    "id": 2,
    "name": "changed"
}]

Here is the nested loop version that works:
for (i = 0; i < result1.length; i++) {
    for (ii = 0; ii < result2.length; ii++) {

        if (result1[i].id == result2[ii].id && result1[i].name !== result2[ii].name) {
            result1[i].name = result2[ii].name
        }

    }
}

console.log(result1)

I get the correct result:
result1 = [ { id: 1, name: 'result1_name1' }, { id: 2, name: 'changed' } ]

And now I tried:
result1.map(res1 => {

    let response = !result2.some(res2 => res1.name === res2.name)

    if (response) {
        res1.name = res2.name
    }
    return response
})

console.log(result1)

But I get an error:

ReferenceError: res2 is not defined

How can I do that?
Edit: Sorry, I changed to first paragraph because my issue was a bit different

A: res2 is only accessible in the scope of the callback provided to .some(). Therefore it's undefined outside that scope.
And secondly, I think there's a logic error in your comparison. It seems like you need to compare the values as well as the IDs of the records.

const result1 = [ { id: 1, name: "name1" }, { id: 2, name: "name2" } ],
      result2 = [ { id: 1, name: "name1" }, { id: 2, name: "changed" } ];

const changedResult1 = result1.map(item => ({
  ...item,
  name: result2.find(item2 => item2.id === item.id)?.name || item.name
}))

console.log(changedResult1)

A: One approach is to create a dictionary of result2 (where id will be key & name as value) & then put map on result1 to get the desired result.

const result1 = [{"id": 1, "name": "name1"},{"id": 2,"name": "name2"}];

const result2 = [{"id": 1, "name": "name1"},{"id": 2,"name": "changed"}];

const dict = Object.fromEntries(result2.map(o=>[o.id, o.name]));
const updated = result1.map(o=>({...o, name:dict[o.id] }));
console.log(updated);

A: You could use Array.reduce() to group the items by id using a Map.

const result1 = [{ "id": 1, "name": "name1" }, { "id": 2, "name": "name2" }]
const result2 = [{ "id": 1, "name": "name1" }, { "id": 2, "name": "changed" }]

const result = [...([...result1, ...result2].reduce((map, item) => {
    return map.set(item.id, item);
}, new Map())).values()]

console.log('Result:', result)
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; }


Many homeowners want more privacy in their backyard, even if they don't have a pool. When you do have a swimming pool or spa installed on your property, you probably feel more conspicuous because of the attention a pool can draw. If you're in the planning stages of pool installation, you should really consider these privacy options that add style to your pool and make your backyard a discrete retreat. If your pool is already installed, these ideas are affordable renovations that can really bump up the privacy.
Most homeowners are required to install a pool safety fence, so consider privacy when choosing material and style. Using a solid material such as wood or vinyl can boost the privacy without making it feel as if you're in a cage. Privacy fences often have minimum and maximum height requirements, from 4 to 6 feet, which means that fencing alone may not create the haven you want.
Bushes, shrubs and trees act as natural privacy barriers. Choose flora that won't attract bees and won't drop a ton of leaves in your yard. Needle palms thrive in north Texas and create the look of the ocean in your backyard. With proper care, tropical plants can do well in the Sherman, TX climate. Succulents are also common elements that add landscaping dimension around pools. Flora is an affordable privacy feature, but it may take one season before you notice the difference.
Adding features such as a weeping wall pool or fountain add sound privacy. The constant flow of water is good at blocking sound from your yard, keeping backyard gossip contained. An added bonus is that the water also drowns out sounds from your neighbor's parties. These features may be more expensive to install, but they do bring a lot of visual appeal.
Pool screen enclosures can also shield you from prying eyes. You have a lot of options with these free-standing features. They're affordable and adaptable solutions to many privacy issues. You can find simple options at the hardware store or have custom elements made for your yard.
A canopy or umbrella can provide a lot of privacy placed right where you want it. Block out the sun or neighbors' views quickly and easily. Gazebos and pergolas are beautiful elements that can really accent your deck or patio. The key difference is that a gazebo is round or octagonal while pergolas are square or rectangular. Pergolas only have cross beams as the roof, which makes them base structures for ivy or vines, if you want a more natural look. Both structures can include seating for guests and offer shade during the hot afternoon. A pool house or patio can add even more entertaining space and privacy.
Your pool contractor has a lot of information to solve your privacy concerns. When you're ordering Texas pool supplies, talk to us about your issues to let us help you find solutions to let you enjoy your swimming pool to the fullest.

Inside the home of top-ranked Dota 2 esports team Evil Geniuses
Giancarlo Valdes@_boogs
The Evil Geniuses get ready for their daily practice.
Image Credit: Giancarlo Valdes/GamesBeat
For many sports fans, Oakland, Calif. is best known for three teams: the Oakland Raiders, Golden State Warriors, and Oakland A's. But if esports continues to grow at a rapid pace, the Evil Geniuses may soon join that hallowed list.
In the middle of a quiet suburb in Alameda County is the home and training facility for the Evil Geniuses Dota 2 esports team. (Evil Geniuses is a franchise that includes multiple teams competing in different games). Dota 2, from developer Valve, is a free 5-on-5 multiplayer online battle arena game (MOBA) where each team tries to destroy their opponents' base. It's one of the most popular games in the world, as well as an important part of the $493 million esports market.
Major tournaments regularly offer multi-million dollar prizes and attract a huge online audience. It all builds up to The International (TI), Valve's annual Dota 2 world championship that takes place in Seattle's KeyArena stadium. To date, Evil Geniuses is the only American team to ever win the tournament — at TI5 in 2015.
That puts a lot of pressure on team captain Andreas "Cr1t-" Nielsen, Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg, Saahil "Universe" Arora, Sumail "Suma1L" Hassan, Artour "Arteezy" Babaev, and their coach, Clinton "Fear" Loomis. Like other professional athletes, the six young men live highly unusual lives. In a lot of ways, they're in a 24/7 reality show, and not just because of their massive followings on social media.
When a few other reporters and I met with the team, a small crew of cameramen greeted us as we entered the house. They filmed part of our visit for True Sight, Valve's online documentary series on Dota 2 esports. It was hard not to feel a little self-conscious while cameras and boom mics were inches away from my face.
But the players looked like they were used to the attention. They were preparing for the Boston Major, the first big tournament of the 2016-2017 season.
Above: A typical match in Dota 2.

Getting through a lengthy season
Dota 2 players live by a grueling schedule. Last year's International, where Evil Geniuses finished in third and took home over $2 million, ended in mid-August. After that was the off-season, a chaotic time where teams can sign and drop players (sometimes entire rosters) in the hopes of putting together a championship-worthy squad. EG Dota 2 team manager Phillip Aram described it as "free agency and training camp" all rolled into one.
For Evil Geniuses, the time off lasted about a month before players came back in September to practice for a tournament in October. When that was over, they took another few weeks off before returning to Alameda to prepare for the new season. At the time of our visit, the team was in the middle of a six-week stretch of back-to-back events in which the players were either together at the house or on the road for tournaments. They didn't have any time to visit their families.
"From a season standpoint, [Dota 2] is more like golf or tennis. It just kind of keeps going," Aram told GamesBeat. "There isn't really a break. It's not like a traditional sport."
While living in the same house isn't necessary or always feasible for esports players, it seems to add some much-needed stability to EG's busy lifestyle. Being in the same time zone, for instance, helps a lot when it comes to establishing discipline and practice routines.
The practice room is actually the first place you see when you walk through the five-bedroom house. The team has an array of PCs, headsets, chairs, and other accessories. Plastered on the walls are black-and-white art from Dota 2, as well as prominent logos for Comcast (one of their primary sponsors) and its Xfinity branding.
Above: From left to right: Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg, Clinton "Fear" Loomis, and Sumail "Suma1L" Hassan.
According to Loomis, the players usually start warming up around 10 or 11 a.m. every day. They scrimmage online against other professional teams for six hours and then devote the rest of their day to individual practices. Because their job involves sitting at their computers for long periods of time, the guys make sure to get up and move around as much as possible.
"I think we're pretty good at just not sitting down for six or seven hours at once," said the 19-year-old Wåhlberg. "We usually get up and go over [to the living room] and sit down and we talk. We go [out] for lunch … so we're not just sitting for seven hours straight."
Above: The team's go-to source for sodas and energy drinks.
The living room features more Dota 2 art and sponsor logos, as well as a large TV and a black couch. The room leads into a fairly ordinary kitchen stocked with basic necessities. A small mountain of Amazon Fresh containers were near the front door: Aram said they rely a lot on meal delivery services to feed the team.
The garage is perhaps the second most important place in the house after the practice area. Players like to spend their breaks there playing ping pong.
"That's usually our physical activity," said Loomis, laughing.
Most of the guys also exercise at a nearby gym a few times a week. And though they're careful about what they eat, they also do plenty of burger runs at the local In-N-Out.
"They're still kids at the end of the day," said Aram.
Treating it as a job
While the Evil Geniuses' training facility resembles a frat house in some ways — a fridge filled with energy drinks, bedrooms with clothes strewn all over the place, the ping-pong table — it's also their office. And the players have to learn to respect it as such. Part of Aram's role as the team manager is to work with the coach to make sure they consistently follow the rules.
"We have policies that sound normal in a traditional work environment, like being up an hour before your match to talk about it and prepare and warm up," said Aram. "But in a lot of teams, guys roll out of bed and jump into [scrimmages] and do badly. … I think that's something this team has that a lot of [others] probably don't, which is regular accountability and talks you'd see in a more professional setting."
Aram, who also lives in the house during the season, tries to stay out of strategizing discussions for Dota 2 — that's for Loomis and Nielsen to handle. Instead, Aram sees his job as empowering the players so that they can perform to the best of their abilities. He makes sure they're "working together toward the same goal and not against each other," which he said is a common problem among teams. That involves both 1-on-1 talks and team meetings.

Gilead's pan-genotype hepatitis C treatment has been approved in Europe, offering a course of treatment without many of the unpleasant side effects of previous combinations.
Epclusa (sofosbuvir+velpatasvir) offers a single tablet regimen for adults with genotype 1-6 chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Gilead has been refining its treatments for hepatitis C and previous drugs based around sofosbuvir, first eliminating the need for interferon. This often causes severe flu-like side effects, which can deter or lead some patients to stop taking the treatment.
Now Gilead has eliminated the need for ribavirin, unless patients have genotype 3 infection with compensated cirrhosis.
This is the first approved treatment for patients with genotypes 2 and 3 without the need for ribavirin.
The drug was granted an accelerated review by the European Medicines Agency, reserved for treatments expected to be of major public health interest.
It is the third combination treatment approved based around sofosbuvir, after Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) and Harvoni (sofosbuvir+ledipasvir).
Also approved in the US, Gilead hopes the drug will revive flagging sales in its multi-billion dollar hepatitis C franchise.
Sales of Sovaldi and Harvoni have levelled off because of rivals from AbbVie and Merck & Co.
Although Gilead gave no pricing details for Europe, the drug will cost just under $75,000 for a 12-week course in the UK, less than the list price for Sovaldi and Harvoni and lower than AbbVie's Viekira Pak (ombitasvir, paritaprevir+ritonavir).
Gilead could face competition as AbbVie began phase 3 trials of its own pan-genotypic, single pill combination in January.
But for now Gilead looks to have the advantage again, with Leerink analyst Geoffrey Porges predicting peak sales of $10.3 billion in 2017, dropping tp $2.2 billion in 2021 because of competition.

BELOW IS THE INFORMATION FOR THE QUESTION
Syncretism and Religion
While the Catholic Church dominated all facets of Colonial Latin American life, the "old ways" could not be fully suppressed. In some isolated communities and smaller villages, a parallel society developed which preserved, as best it could, Pre-Columbian indigenous heritage.
To this day, there are still a number of communities, primarily in the more remote areas, which live much like their indigenous ancestors did. As well, it would be incorrect to imply that in the 300 years of colonization the Europeans did not borrow or absorb anything from the indigenous or African cultures. Transculturation, after all, implies a give-and-take process and not a one way street. While indigenous and African peoples were forced in one way or another to accept Catholicism, they also blended their own beliefs with those of the "true religion." It was easy enough to consider one of the many Catholic saints as one of a pantheon of African or indigenous deities. We see this in the Afro-Caribbean religions of Santeria and Voudou and the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomble, all of which we will discuss in the next module.
Another iconic example of cultural and religious syncretism is the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico, who has become a national symbol for Mexico and a patroness of the Americas for Catholic believers. According to legend, an indigenous peasant named Juan Diego encountered the Virgin in a vision on the barren hill of Tepeyac in 1531. Tepeyac had once been the sight of an Aztec temple for the mother goddess Tonantzin, so many indigenous peoples view the Virgin and Tonantzin as synonymous. The Virgin spoke to Juan Diego in Nahuatl, his native language, and had the physical appearance of a mestiza: tan, olive skin and dark brown hair. After seeking out the archbishop of Mexico City, who asked him for further proof of the apparition, Juan Diego returned to the hill only to find roses blooming in the normally fallow place. Gathering them up in his cloak, he returned to the city, whereupon opening the cloak, he revealed the image of the Virgin imprinted inside it.
This cloak, or tilma, now hangs in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City where devoted pilgrims visit her shrine. In the visual arts, the Virgin of Guadalupe is always depicted with tan skin and dark hair, representing the indigenous population of Mexico. She appears on all types of objects, even souvenirs, and it has been said that her image is the most widely circulated in Latin America.
The Power of Hegemony and Transculturation
Hierarchical Control
The key element in creating a stable and orderly society during the approximate 300 years of colonial life was hierarchy. Parallel to the hierarchical political structure was an equally hierarchical social structure. The social structure was complex and based on a lot of factors, but perhaps the overriding factor was race and ethnicity. The conquest involved indigenous and European peoples; however, African slaves were eventually brought to the Americas to offset the decline in the indigenous population. Through 300 years of colonization, the reality of Latin America was the mixture of these ethnic and cultural groups–what is called transculturation. Another word synonymous with this blending of cultures is syncreticism: the amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought. Finally, mestizaje, a word that comes up frequently in Latin American studies, specifically refers to the blending of races–a key theme in Colonial Latin American art and postcolonial Latin American culture to the present day.
Race in Latin America
Very soon after the conquest, Spanish men and Indigenous women became the parents of mestizo children. Mestizo children were treated as second-class citizens who inherited very little from their Spanish fathers. This was only the beginning of an attempt to control race mixing. To control colonial Latin America, the Europeans sorted people into fixed categories called castes (castas in Spanish). A person's caste classification was noted in the baptismal register. People of low caste had numerous restrictions placed upon them. There seem to have been upwards of 15 different categories of castas depending on the various ethnic combinations that could occur over time through "racial" mixing.
To illustrate the Casta System, paintings were commissioned to illustrate all these variations. The majority of these paintings made their way to Spain where they were viewed like species classifications. The paintings clearly illustrate the varying economic and social advantages of one caste over another. Through a system termed "gracias al sacar" some people could, in a sense, buy "whiteness". Another way to improve one's social mobility without legal permission was to "marry up" by marrying someone of a lighter skin color or to serve in the military to increase one's honorable status despite the color of one's skin. All of these notions indicate the colonial obsession with race mixing which was ever so present during the colonial period.
Renaissance Mentality: A Review
At the time of the conquest there was an intellectual awakening in Europe known as the Renaissance. This era, also known as the Age of Discovery, gave rise to many new ideas which defied medieval superstitions and pushed the boundaries of knowledge. While the Iberians lagged behind the rest of Europe in some aspects of the Renaissance, in the field of exploration and navigation the Iberians were in the forefront. They excelled in new weaponry and navigation techniques such as piloting and the ability to adapt coastal ships to the challenges of the open ocean.
The contrast between Renaissance philosophies and the scholasticism of the Middle Ages cannot be understated. Humans began to depart from the Church-controlled scholasticism. For example, theories describing the earth as flat were replaced by new notions of the earth as a sphere which could be navigated without the danger of falling off.
The Spanish conquistadors conceived the world with the dynamic optimism of the Renaissance and the idea of progress. As the explorer Bernal Diaz del Castillo summarized, "we came here to serve God and the King and also to get rich." These words indicate the main motive of the Spanish conquerors to reach the New World: the achievement of wealth and social status. Most of the Spanish conquerors came from the lesser nobility or were of plebeian origin. They saw the New World as an opportunity for upward social mobility and the crusading ideal of converting masses to the Christian religion.
Spain and La Reconquista
Spain's geographic position is unique in Europe, and it has had tremendous influence over its development. First, the Pyrenees Mountains serve to isolate the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe on the one hand, and make it a transition zone to Africa. Its geographic location also lends itself to maritime enterprises to the west or to the south. Additionally, the land is not terribly suitable for agriculture and mountainous regions serve to create small pockets of human population which in turn results in strong regionalism and individualism.
The Peninsula was also the target of many invasions and it was almost completely conquered by the Moors by the year 718 C.E. There remained, however, a Christian stronghold in northern Spain which launched a struggle to regain their lost lands and peoples. This struggle termed La Reconquista or The Reconquest took on the character of religious crusades, pitting Christian against Muslim. The reconquest of Spain meant the expulsion or forced conversion of Muslims and Jews. This religious zeal would carry over into the conquest of the "New World."
Heroes of La Reconquista like El Cid became the quintessential Spanish hero. He represented a man who could fight a battle, court a woman, write a poem, and rule a kingdom with equal skill, individualism, honor, and style. These then became the values ingrained in the Iberian character, the values of individual military prowess, religious crusades, conquest, and capture of booty.
The Spanish Conquistadors are said to have been motivated by the three G's: god, gold, and glory although not necessarily in that order. The religious nature of the reconquest extended to the "New World" as the Church saw the potential of new converts to Catholicism. Additionally, these explorers could potentially elevate their status in society by bringing back riches such as gold and silver found in the conquered lands. Most of these early conquistadors were uneducated and had much to gain from these expeditions.
Sailors, captains, and soldiers were the first to describe the New World to the European readers. They wrote to the metropolis to receive rewards and privileges or to justify their actions. In their letters, stories, chronicles, and reports they told of their great deeds and they described with admiration the role of Spain to bring Catholicism to the newly discovered territories. Their writings manifest the European humanistic spirit of the period characterized by the individualism, the optimism, and the desire to explore new territories and explain what they learned.
These writers, many of whom lacked formal training, attempted to describe a new, unfamiliar and exotic world and to relate their own participation in the conquest and the colonization. They mixed reality and fantasy, and they included strange details and moralizing digressions since their stories were supposed to serve as examples to the reader. Divine intervention in favor of the conquistadors would often appear in their narrative. In Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana (1568) (The True History of the Conquest of Mexico), Bernal Diaz del Castillo provides a testimony of how a soldier thought and acted in such a risky enterprise as was the Conquest.
Art of the Conquest
Most of the art of the conquest dealt with depictions of what the conquistadors came to know in the New World and their impressions of these new lands. It was documentary in nature rather than aesthetic. Therefore, the arts would involve pictures of indigenous peoples in their family units, depictions of human sacrifices, fauna, and fruits and vegetables the conquistadors had never seen before. These would invariably serve the purpose of "illustrating" the new world for those back in Spain.
One major artist who was able to capture the European imagination of the Americas was the engraver Theodore de Bry (Links to an external site.).

Il ghiacciaio Spartan è un ghiacciaio lungo circa 3 km, situato sulla costa orientale dell'isola Alessandro I, al largo della costa della Terra di Palmer, in Antartide. Il ghiacciaio si trova nella parte nord-orientale delle cime Pianeta, subito a est del ghiacciaio Plutone, e da qui fluisce verso est fino ad andare ad alimentare la piattaforma di ghiaccio Giorgio VI, che ricopre l'omonimo canale, tra le scogliere Tombaugh, a sud, e le scogliere Callisto, a nord.

Storia
Il ghiacciaio Spartan fu probabilmente avvistato per la prima volta da Lincoln Ellsworth, il quale, il 23 novembre 1935, effettuò una ricognizione aerea del segmento di costa in cui si trova il ghiacciaio, fotografandolo. La parte terminale del ghiacciaio è stata grossolanamente esplorata nel 1936 dalla spedizione britannica nella Terra di Graham, 1934-37, al comando di John Rymill, mentre l'intera formazione è stata infine mappata dall'Overseas Surveys Directorate grazie a immagini satellitari fornite dalla NASA, ed è stata così battezza dal Comitato britannico per i toponimi antartici in onore di una muta di cani, chiamata "The Spartans", che era stata usata nell'ascesa del ghiacciaio svolta nel 1969.

But this super-focused aspiring ballerina spends most of her time away from the spotlight, training at the San Francisco Ballet School. In fact, Leili first fell in love with the stage after studying traditional Chinese dance as a way to honor her heritage.
It turns out that Leili has a remarkable backstory: When she was 11 months old, her American parents adopted her from her foster mother at an orphanage in Nanchang, China. Now, her hard work and talent have put her on the path to success.
"My foster mother explained to my parents that whenever I heard music I would dance and laugh. So perhaps my love for dance was always in me." —Leili Rackow
Birthday: December 29, 1999
Hometown: Agoura Hills, CA. "But I was born in Nanchang, China."
Current favorite song: "New Soul," by Yael Naim. "It always puts a smile on my face!"
Favorite food: Mexican food
Best advice she's received: "Face your challenges with grace and humility."
Dream role: Kitri in Don Quixote
Choreographer she'd love to work with: SFB corps member Myles Thatcher

Q: What ASP.NET programming model to choose? Summary
I'm a seasoned programmer with years of experience in Windows Forms development using different programming languages as already stated in this question:
Will learning WPF improve my skills in ASP.NET?
ASP.NET or any Web based programming language doesn't feel natural for me to explore or to use. Although I am unfamiliar with Web based technologies, my curiosity about these grows and grows. In addition to it, I am aware of the market place Web based programming takes. I would like to expand my knowledge and experience to the Web, though would it be just to know what I'm talking about instead of speculating whatever.
My experience as an information and process systems developer allows me to understand the concepts and some of the basics. I am aware that Web based applications are stateless, for instance, and that I need to use session or viewstate variables to keep the information the user is working with alive, otherwise I would loose them.
I also understand the basics of Ajax based controls such as the UpdatePanel, which is to update or to refresh only a part of a UI page rather than reloading everything through the connection again.
I can get that CSS defines styles for your page's sections and that you may change radically your Website's aspect just by changing the CSS reference.
I am also aware of masterpages, which I don't really understand, in fact.
Programming Model
I just watched this video about choosing the right model for me/my application:
Choosing the Right Programming Model
If looks like ASP.NET MVC, which I thought was the best approach, is more for the veteran Web developers, people who are comfortable with Web applications.
I have used a lot of DataBinding in Windows Forms, and WebForms seems to be more what I'm looking for into ASP.NET, until they say that MVC allows for Unit Testing, TDD and Agile methodologies, which I adhere to, as a certified Professional Scrum Master.
I'm a bit mixed up on what will be more natural for me speaking of programming model.
Questions

*

*Taking into account my base of knowledge and my experience, what programming model do you think I'm going to be more comfortable with?

*Will choosing one over the other allow me to get acquainted enough with ASP.NET to one day try the other model?

*In the video about choosing the Programming Model both sat on ASP.NET, I heard about DataBinding while using Web Forms, but no mention of DataBinding in the MVC model. Is there any possible DataBinding in MVC?
Finally
I'm very confused about all of this ASP.NET stuff.

A: This is so subjective that it's likely to get closed and no matter what answer we give, it's likely to get downvotes as well as ups, BUT....
Given your familiarity with WinForms development I would say to go to WebForms if you want to get up and running as quickly as possible.  Even if you eventually switch to MVC, you'll be more comfortable with WebForms at first while you learn the ins and outs of web development, so it will be less of a shock to your system.
And just so I don't get pegged as being biased by the others who will view this, I realize that there are many advantages to MVC, but in my own humble opinion, I think it's silly to get into a "Which is better" discussion.  I'm giving this answer because he asked (paraphrasing) "which will be easier for me to grasp and get started with".
Edit
I guess I only addressed the first two questions above...
For the third, databinding in MVC is a bit different, but not all that much. The data access under the hood is the same, but you control the output a lot more strictly.
See this other post for a quick glimpse at a good answer explaining how to do a simple "binding".  The asker in this question was less familiar with MVC, and was asking how to do databinding on a drop-down list in MVC. The answer given was good, and pointed to a good article.
ASP.Net MVC framework and databinding

A: just go with asp.net mvc.
it will actually improve the way you write windows apps.
its a mistake to try and find the closest similar paradigm to what you are used to.   Its almost better to have a completely different one as it will save getting confused by things that are similar but not quite the same.
basically webforms was microsofts attempt to make it easier to do web stuff coming from the windows world.   But its akin to coming from a sailing background and developing a "car" that you control as if it was sail boat.   You are simply better off learning how to drive a car,  drive when you have to drive, sail when you have to sail.
so you will have to put in the effort to understand web stuff.   Its not too hard, it can just take a bit of time.  But there is a massive resource of knowledge to draw on.
basically come to web development with your cup empty ready to learn :)

A: I use WebForms and I came from VB6. It was weird at the start when I had to learn about the page cycle.

At Joint Health we recognise that stress can be a significant contributing factor to our client's presenting condition which needs to be addressed for a successful outcome of treatment.
Stress affects the level of muscular tension in the body, the ability of the immune system to function properly and the body's ability to deal with inflammation. A powerful new documentary directed by Australia's Shannon Harvey called The Connection: Mind Your Body explores over 30 years of research from around the world regarding the effects of stress and the physical and mental health benefits to be achieved through meditation. Just eliciting the relaxation response has an immediate effect on the expression of our genes. If you could take a pill that offered all of these benefits everyone would want to buy it. As a result of Shannon's exploration of this research and her adoption of a regular meditation practice Shannon's autoimmune disorder is now in remission. Joint health has a copy of the DVD for loan, or you can view a preview and purchase a download at theconnection.tv.
Are your stress habits causing you pain?


Not sure I agree with your first paragraph, but agreed on the final.
Terrific title game. Great efforts by both schools. Hope to see utah in the one shining moment soon!
Cool. Who here is kicking in for the buyout.


I'm shocked at how little press coverage the expiration of the ethanol subsidy and tariff has gotten. As Iran and the US trade threats over blocking oil transport from the gulf, congress has allowed the tax credit for ethanol blenders to expire, along with a tariff that effectively kept out more efficiently produced foreign ethanol. The blenders' subsidy extended a 45-cent subsidy per gallon of ethanol blended into gasoline. The tariff ended a 54-cent-per-gallon tax on imported ethanol, mainly from Brazil —which makes the stuff much more efficiently and environmentally friendly from sugar cane. Still in force is a federal mandate that requires a minimum amount of ethanol be used each year.
For the first time in more than three decades of generous US government subsidies for the domestic ethanol industry, coupled with a steep tariff on imports, the United States market will be open to imported ethanol as of January 1st, 2012, without protectionist measures.
The adjournment of the 112th Congress means both the US$0,54 per gallon tax on imported ethanol and a corresponding tax credit of US$0,45 per gallon for blenders, the VEETC (Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit), will expire as expected on December 31st. "With Congress in recess, there are no opportunities for further attempts to prolong the tax credit or the tariff, so we can confidently say these support mechanisms will be gone at the end of 2011," said the Washington Representative for the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA), Leticia Phillips.

Golf roundup: Nate Lashley has 6-shot lead in Detroit; Brittany Altomare, Fran Quinn faring well at respective events
PGA Tour: Nate Lashley has been thinking about the deaths of his parents and girlfriend as he tries to close out the Rocket Mortgage Classic for his first PGA Tour title.
"Yeah, it definitely crosses your mind," Lashley said Saturday after shooting a bogey-free 9-under 63 to open a six-stroke lead at 23 under. "It came through my mind at one point today. At some points it's not easy, but it goes through your mind and it's something that's always going to be there for me."
The 353rd-ranked player is in his second season on the PGA Tour, reaching the highest level of golf after a long road that included tragedy , selling real estate and playing in the PGA Tour's minor leagues.
After watching Lashley play in a tournament for the University of Arizona in 2004, his parents and girlfriend died in a plane crash in Wyoming. Rod and Char Lashley and Leslie Hofmeister, all of Scottsbluff, Nebraska, were missing for three days before their bodies and the wreckage were found near the 13,780-foot Gannett Peak.
Lashley meditates, but acknowledges he can't always control where his thoughts drift even when he's playing golf.
"You can't prepare for what your mind's going to go through on the golf course," he said.
Lashley made a living as a real estate agent after graduating from college and his playing career started, stopped and resumed again. He won the Waterloo Open, a professional tournament, in Iowa in 2011 and quit competitive golf the next year.
"When I was flipping houses, I thought I was pretty much done with golf," Lashley recalled. "I always felt like I had the talent and ability to play out here. It was just a matter of getting out here and getting comfortable."
Lashley gave the game another shot, playing on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica circuit in 2015 and moved up to what is now called the Korn Ferry Tour two years later.
He made his PGA Tour debut last season in his mid-30s, but he had to end his year after 17 events because of a knee injury.
The 36-year-old Lashley slipped into the field at Detroit Golf Club as an alternate. He tied for eighth in February in the Puerto Rico Open — played opposite the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship — for his only top-10 finish on the tour. He's 132nd in the FedEx Cup standings.
If he can shoot 63 for a third time, he'll set the PGA Tour scoring record in relation to par that Ernie Els has held since 2003 at 31 under.
Lashley, the first- and second-round leader, started Saturday with a one-shot lead and pulled away with the low round of the day.
J.T. Poston (66) was second. Cameron Tringale (65) was another stroke back as one of many players taking advantage of scoring opportunities on one of the easiest courses on the tour.
"I think I had dropped 25 places before I even teed off today, so I knew low scores were out there," Tringale said. "I just had to keep hitting fairways and greens."
LPGA Tour: Sung Hyun Park birdied the final two holes for an 8-under 63 and a share of lead with Carlota Ciganda on Saturday after the second round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.
Park, the second-ranked South Korean star who won the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore in early March for her sixth LPGA Tour title, is coming off a second-place finish last week in Minnesota in the major KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
Ciganda shot a 66 to match Park at 13-under 129 at Pinnacle Country Club. The Spanish player chipped in from 60 yards for eagle on the par-4 first hole and closed with a birdie on the par-5 18th.
First-round leader Inbee Park was tied for third at 11 under, following her opening 62 with a 69. Top-ranked Hyo Joo Kim (64) also was 11 under with Danielle Kang (63), Linnea Strom(65), Shrewsbury's Brittany Altomare (65) and Daniela Darquea(65).
PGA Tour Champions: Steve Stricker opened a six-stroke lead in the U.S. Senior Open on Saturday at Notre Dame, shooting a 4-under 66 and extending his bogey-free run to 48 holes.
Seeking his second senior major title after winning the Regions Tradition by six strokes in May in Alabama, the 52-year-old Stricker had a tournament-record 18-under 192 total on the rain-softened Warren Golf Course. He opened with a 62 to tie the tournament record and share the first-round lead with David Toms, then shot a 64 on Friday to take a two-stroke advantage.
Fellow Madison, Wisconsin, player Jerry Kelly was second after a 70. Kelly beat Stricker and Retief Goosen in a playoff last week in Madison in the PGA Tour Champions event that Stricker hosts.
Toms was third at 11 under after a 70. Bob Estes had a 68 to get to 10 under.
Holden's Fran Quinn carded a 1-under 69 on Saturday and is tied for 17th at 3-under.

My education as an artist seems synonymously tied to the roads I have consumed on a motorcycle and behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound tractor trailer. Now I focus on the sensuality of forms, the gentle rise and fall of their sides and junctures. I mentally download shapes and spaces, and let my hands become extensions of my mind, much like I do when I am riding. Driven by curiosity, I seek out illusion in contour and graceful proportion, treating unusual intersections as purposeful composition. That intuitive force, fueled by the intellectual challenges of physical creation, drives me to create artwork that breathes its own life. BIOGRAPHY, KEVIN CARON Born in Connecticut on February 2, 1960, Caron's multidisciplinary training in the Navy provided a grasp of space, proportion and physics also deeply influenced by his perspective as a tractor trailer driver and motorcycle enthusiast. These experiences translate into sometimes improbable, often graceful and engaging sculptures of metal and resin that communicate through sound, texture, form and line. Since Caron became a full-time artist in 2006, he has created more than 50 private and public commissions as well many other artworks as participated in shows throughout the United States. Among his installations are Giant Street Urchin at the $131 million Harbourside Place development in Jupiter, Florida; Wherever You Go, There You Are at Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Top Knot, commissioned by the city of Surprise, Arizona, for its Civic Center Plaza. His sculpture Hands On for the city of Avondale, Arizona won the 2009 Best of the West Award for Arts & Culture from Westmarc, a coalition of business, education and government leaders. Some of Caron's other public sculptures are in Tucson, Arizona; Chandler, Arizona; Avondale, Arizona; and Temple, Texas. Caron's sculptures have been exhibited at the Phoenix Art Museum, Shemer Art Center and Pima Community College East Campus and also can be seen at Pearson & Company in Scottsdale, Arizona; and Van Gogh's Ear Gallery in Prescott, Arizona. In 2018, Kevin was named the 2018 Visual Artist of the year by Phoenix Mayor's Art Awards In 2014, he began creating 3D-printed sculptures as large as 5-1/2 feet tall using several 3D printers including the 8-foot-tall Cerberus 3D Gigante (above), which he had built.
