Q: how to evaluate combinations of different configurarations of a rubik's cube
*

*how to calculate the total combination number of an rubik's cube ?

*and what is the number of combination if we fix one face of it with all matched colours , specifically saying blue one ,??

*no. of combination of two adjacent faces , say blue and yellow are with their matched colours ( ,if it is possible )

*no. of combination with 3 adjacent faces are matched with their colours (say the faces are red,blue and yellow ,, again if it is possible)

*same thing with 4 adjacent faces ,say  blue yellow ,, red and white ,are matched (again if it is possible )

A: *

*There are 8 corner cubies, each with 3 orientations; 12 edge cubies, each with 2 orientations; you cannot rotate a single corner cubie; you cannot flip a single edge cubie; you cannot have odd number of permutations. This leads to:
$$\frac{8!3^812!2^12}{3\cdot2\cdot2}\approx4.3\times 10^{19}.$$

*4 corner cubies and 8 edge cubies are flexible, so it is:
$$\frac{4!3^48!2^8}{3\cdot2\cdot2}\approx1.7\times 10^9.$$

*2 corner cubies and 5 edge cubies are flexible, so it is:
$$\frac{2!3^25!2^5}{3\cdot2\cdot2}=5760.$$

*1 corner cubies and 3 edge cubies are flexible, so it is:
$$\frac{1!3^13!2^3}{3\cdot2\cdot2}=12.$$

*Only one edge cubie is not matched, so it cannot be flipped. There is only $1$ possible arrangement.

Several observations occur to me after reading the manifestos of the top three political parties in South Africa.
Firstly, few people probably actually read the manifestos, as Professor Steven Friedman has pointed out, so their impact on voting is limited. They are, however, an excuse to attract publicity in a big launch, where what the party leader says in a speech gets airtime and print media reaction.
Yet the manifestos can give important insights into the kind of thinking within parties on economic issues.
Though mostly not too badly written, the documents are not exactly thrilling reading. The ANC manifesto is 12,000 words long, 10 times as long as the Freedom Charter. The EFF manifesto is more than twice as long as the ANC's manifesto and the DA takes 40,000 words to get its points across.
They differ in tone as well. The EFF manifesto sounds like it was dreamt up by students at the university canteen. The DA manifesto looks like it was drawn up by consultants who maximised their billable hours and I wouldn't be surprised if the ANC manifesto was created by committee.
Secondly, manifestos can make some extraordinarily specific promises, especially if the party has no realistic possibility of being voted into power. Yet in making those promises, the party is indicating its position and can be held to that position. So if the DA opposes measures to remove protection for foreign investors, voters can hold the party to opposing such laws in Parliament.
Some proposals in the EFF manifesto are astoundingly specific.
"The EFF government will maximally build and support the cultivation and agro-processing of potatoes and tomatoes in the Namaqualand and Pixley regions and grapes in the Siyanda ZF Macau region in Northern Cape Province." There are several other such statements.
Thirdly, as Prof Friedman has also pointed out, there is a difference between party and the party in government. The realities of governing can mean that promises made by the party simply cannot be kept by the party in government, because of pressure from civil society, other parties and financial markets.

M=5.3 earthquake shakes Hawaii's Big Island
Posted on June 8, 2017 December 4, 2017 by Temblor
By David Jacobson, Temblor
See earthquakes in Hawaii
Today's M=5.3 earthquake on Hawaii's Big Island occurred near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. (Picture from: USGS)
At just past 7 a.m. local time today, a M=5.3 earthquake shook the Big Island of Hawaii. According to the USGS, very strong shaking was felt close to the epicenter, while in the capital city of Hilo 44 km to the north, light shaking was recorded by seismometers. At 11 a.m. this morning, 8 a.m. in Hawaii, over 700 people had reported feeling the quake, which is unlikely to cause damage due to the moderate magnitude and the fact that the epicenter was not close to populated centers. The area in which today's quake occurred is dominated by active volcanism in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
This Temblor map shows the location of today's M=5.3 earthquake on the Big Island of Hawaii. What is also evident from this figure is that the Big Island is highly seismically active. Some of these quakes are volcanic earthquakes, while others are more traditional quakes.
While most people imagine spectacular lava flows and Kilauea when they think of the Big Island of Hawaii, it is also a seismically active area. The majority of these earthquakes are "volcanic earthquakes," meaning they are associated with magma moving beneath the surface. These quakes are often too small to be felt, but are picked up by local seismometers.
In addition to these "volcanic earthquakes," more traditional earthquakes also occur around the Big Island. These are caused as the immense weight of the Big Island causes the entire island to subside. In turn, normal (extensional) faulting results. Based on the location and magnitude of today's earthquake, one of these normal faults is the likely culprit.
Even though today's quake was only moderate in size and there have been no reports of damage, the Big Island can and has experienced large magnitude quakes. In both 1975 and 1868, there were M=7.2 and M=7.9 earthquakes in similar locations to today's earthquake. Both of these events caused damage and triggered local tsunamis up to 15 m high. A tsunami inundation map for Hawaii is shown in the figure below. What this shows is that, it is not just volcanic eruptions that Hawaiians have to be wary of.
This Temblor map shows faults, earthquakes, and a tsunami inundation map for the Big Island of Hawaii.
Based on the Global Earthquake Activity Rate (GEAR) model, today's M=5.3 earthquake should not be considered surprising. This model uses global strain rates and historical seismicity since 1977 to forecast the likely earthquake magnitude in your lifetime anywhere on earth. From the Temblor figure below, you can see that nearly the entire Big Island, is susceptible to experiencing a M=5.5+ earthquake in your lifetime.
This Temblor map shows the Global Earthquake Activity Rate (GEAR) model for the Hawaiian Islands. This model uses global strain rates and seismicity since 1977 to forecast the likely earthquake magnitude in your lifetime anywhere on earth. What can be seen from this figure is that in the location of today's M=5.3 earthquake, a M=5.5+ quake is likely. Therefore, today's shock should not be considered a surprise.

From the Event Guide…July 2008.
They may sound like a British band from the early 1990s, but A Sunny Day In Glasgow, -despite their sun-drenched melodies and C86-era sound, are actually from Philadelphia in the USA. Beginning as a bedroom band formed by Ben Daniels and his twin sisters Robin and Laura, the trio reached the attention of college audiences in the US before being pursued by record labels. The album'Scribble Mural Comic Journal' was released on Brooklyn label Mis Ojos Discos in 2007 to widespread acclaim. For fans of My Bloody Valentine, the Jesus and Mary Chain and the Cocteau Twins, A Sunny Day in Glasgow create beautiful, mellifluous tracks soaked in blissful noise. Aoife Barry spoke to Ben Daniels about the band.
Hello. Yes, very much. None of us have ever been to Ireland. We are very excited.
We've only played 2 shows in Europe so far, in London and Glasgow, and we've never played in Canada. I don't know there was much difference though. We'll see how it goes this time. Live, we are much more of a "rock" band, and people are generally a little surprised by that no matter where we play.
I do, very much. It's generally both physically and mentally exhausting, but I think it's really good for you overall. We did a big tour across America last year and in addition to the normal shows we would play at clubs or spaces or whatever, in most cities we also stopped in the local college radio station to play and I love radio stations. Full of awesome records and people who are really enthusiastic about music in general. It's good to get to meet people like that.
What has been your favourite or most memorable gig of the past year?
We've played a bunch of really great shows in the past year actually…um… oh yeah, we recently got to play with M83 in this huge old church in Philadelphia and that was pretty incredible. Kind of like a dream venue to play in and to see M83 in.
Your sound is very reminiscent of artists like My Bloody Valentine, Ride, etc. Were shoegazing bands a big influence on your sound?
I would not say that "shoegazing" bands were a big influence on us. Outside of MBV, the Cocteau Twins, and maybe Jesus and Mary Chain, I think the whole genre is terribly boring. I do like the bands I just listed, but I never listened to them too much so I don't consider them really influential. I don't know, other people are probably better at pulling out your influences anyway.
I think we should all hope this does not happen. But if it does, I don't know, I don't think it would last long. Reunions are always about nostalgia, which is just a dead end. Nostalgia usually fades away pretty quickly.
What are the origins of the band name?
Well, the band started as a project with me and a friend of mine, Ever. A few years ago we both moved to the UK for different reasons – I went to London and he went to Glasgow. He kind of went crazy from the weather up there and the name was his idea. He left the project before it really became a band and I was just too lazy to bother changing it. I don't mind it, but I kind of wish I had changed it at this point. But I have been to Glasgow a few times and it does rain there a lot, so I kind of understand where he was coming from.
What's the creative process like for the band – is there one main songwriter/composer or is it a more collaborative effort?
The songs generally originate with me. I record all the music and then come up with some general melody ideas. Then I would get together with Robin and Lauren and work out the melodies and harmonies. They almost always changed once we got together. I'm not sure how it's going to happen for the next record though. I mean, I've still got the music but I'd really like for Robin to come up with more of the melody ideas. We've also added a friend of mine, Josh, on drums. He plays a million different instruments and knows a lot about synths and that stuff, so I am hoping he can get involved a good deal moving forward as well.
band – can you tell me how things clicked into place?
Actually, I would say it was 2006 that really clicked for us, but we were probably still much more obscure then than we are now (relatively speaking). We weren't even a band in 2006 but we had been recording songs and when we finished four of them we threw them on a cd-r and mailed it to a few college radio stations in America. We didn't really expect much of anything to happen but it wound up charting #1 on a bunch of stations and people started to write to us to ask us how they could buy the CD. Then a bunch of blogs starting writing about us and labels started writing to us. Before we had even played a single show I was having strange conversations with very large record labels who were asking to talk to our lawyer or manager (we of course had neither). It was very bizarre and in the end I stopped writing people back or answering the phone so we could just finish the record that came out in 2007. But 2007 was great because our record came out, we actually finally officially formed a band that would play shows, we toured, etc… It was a very exciting time.
last year? Does critical acclaim mean a lot to the band?
Sure, it's nice when people like the stuff you make. I mean, I would make music anyway, but it's kind of exciting knowing that there are some people who are actually interested in hearing what you are doing. I don't really care at all about "critical acclaim", but it definitely means a lot to me that people would take the time to check us out.
What do you think about the label 'tweegazers'?
I think all labels are really bad things that limit the experience of the listener. 'Tweegazers' is just as witless and pointless as anything.
This label from Austin, TX, Ruined Potential, got in touch with our label over a year ago saying he wanted to put out a vinyl version of 'SMCJ'. We were of course very excited. (And it's taken forever for it to happen, but it looks like we'll have it before we head over to Europe!). Ruined Potential wanted us to add bonus tracks so that people might get the record and they could make their money back. This will be a 2xLP on 180g vinyl, so it's a super expensive project. Steph from Mis Ojos (our label) knew Ulrich Schnauss through a friend and she asked him to do one and around the time we were talking about all of this, Asobi Seksu just wrote to us out of the blue to say they liked our stuff (which was wonderful! I am a huge fan of theirs) and so I sent them an "Um, hey, wanna do a remix?" email. They had never done a remix before but it is PHENOMENAL (I think).
Finally, what do you have planned for the remainder of 2008?
After the shows in Europe we're going start to work in earnest on the next record. I've been writing and recording demos for months now, but we'll all hopefully start working on them together and start recording them this Fall. Maybe an odd show here or there.


"I just received the package! Wow I had never expected such a fast delivery! The package also went through the customs without being opened. Well, I don't know how you managed that because that was the first package I got from the US that was not opened by the customs. I'm completely satisfied and will order some more from you in the near future."
The reason things usually go very smooth for us is that we follow all customs rules to the letter. Some companies will alter either the quantities or prices on the shipment, but when local customs catches the diddling, they are blacklisted from that point forward.
Once a company is flagged as submitting bogus paperwork, their shipments have problems making it through customs, and their Customers suffer. That is why we don't play games with invoices and packing slips.

Movie Madness Mondays: Little Women | This is a blog.
I have read this book many times. As a kid I used to read it, and then weep… I always related so much to Jo, and her journey. And when I cut my hair and got all that "hate mail" I joked about how I was like Jo when she cut hers, and they were all like, "But Jo, your hair was your one beauty!" She was creative, abrasive,and so not in touch with herself as a female. And every time I got to the part where she said no to Laurie's marriage proposal, I cried. heehee… Her journey seems like the quintessential teen journey of finding oneself and failing all over the place, all the while standing up for who you think you are. And in the process getting to know who you truly are, and who you want to become.
Each female in this kinda represents a different aspect of female to me… The strength and creativity of Jo, the compassion and kindness of Beth, the girlishness of Amy, the femininity and Meg and the nurturing of their mother. The actors were lovely. When I saw this I totally fell in love with Christian Bale… Still think he's pretty awesome.
Movie for next week: Let's go uber chick! The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood!

This movie always makes me cry, I haven't seen it in awhile I forgot how great the character Jo was.
Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood is a very good movie, can't wait to read the review.
I'm old school, my favorite is the June Allison, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Lawford, Margaret O'Brien version. Of course, Katharine Hepburn was a fantastic Jo too! I love old movies, ….you should pick one of those sometime!
It's the classic tale of self-esteem that, I'm afraid to admit, works every time on me. I simply love this movie and the cast is great. When I saw it for the first time I thought Wynona nailed the role of Jo.
Thanks for remind me of it.
I forgot……suzieQ is right, the Elizabeth taylor version is fantastic!
Kristin, I can't believe anyone would write "hate mail" to you at all. You are way to sweet and real to be hated on. Plus, appearance shouldn't be too important. That really surprises me. I think you should be able to express yourself any way you want.
it really shows something about your personality.
up past my shoulders and i had no regrets.
And, exactly, free expression should not only be tolerated, but respected.
and i seriously respect it!
Kristin, that's a really clear and succinct review… nice one.
And KK your hair is cute!
I think every single trait you said is right about you but theirs only onething i got to diagree on . is that your hair wasant just the only thing beautifull about you Ms.kristin , yeah your hair is gorgeous but im positive that no matter what you do to yourself you still look amazing. and thats the truth. well got to to go piece K.
Ps: Do you learn that Paul Newman is dead following a cancer ? When I learn that news I was very sad .It's funny because I saw him only in one movie this is "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof " (witch I recommend too)and I fell in love with him .
i cut all my hair off a week after kristin cut hers( i wasnt trying to jock her rockin style or anything lol) but people were always telling me "dont cut your hair, " your hair is your crowning glory"(what ever that means) and in a way i kinda got sick of people trying to make up the person that they wanted to be.
So on my birthday i cut the sucker off. And after i did people complained of course but you know what i let them because after so many years of always letting people tell me how to live and how to do things i just didnt want to be that girl anymore. i did want to always to be the person walking in someone elses shadow.

Daiichi Sankyo Confirms Plans to Accelerate BLA Submission to U.S. FDA for [Fam-] Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (DS-8201) in HER2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Post T-DM1
TOKYO and MUNICH and BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (hereafter, Daiichi Sankyo) today announced plans to accelerate filing of the Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201), an investigational HER2 targeting antibody drug conjugate (ADC), in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer previously treated with ado trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). Submission of the application, which was originally planned for 2020, is now scheduled for the first half of fiscal year 2019.
"We are pleased to confirm the acceleration of the [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan clinical development program for this potential indication in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer pretreated with T-DM1 ahead of schedule," said Antoine Yver, MD, MSc, Executive Vice President and Global Head, Oncology Research and Development, Daiichi Sankyo. "Simultaneously, we are committed to our aggressive development strategy evaluating the potential of [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan across a spectrum of HER2 expressing cancers including breast, gastric, lung and colorectal."
[Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan has been granted U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy for the treatment of patients with HER2 positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have been treated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab and have disease progression after T-DM1. The initial BLA submission of [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan will be based on results from the pivotal phase 2 DESTINY-Breast01 study, which will be presented at an upcoming medical conference. Final determination of exact timing of the BLA submission of [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan will be based on the outcome of a pre-BLA meeting with the FDA.
About DESTINY-Breast01
DESTINY-Breast01 is a pivotal phase 2, open-label, global, multicenter, two-part study evaluating the safety and efficacy of [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with HER2 positive unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with T-DM1. The primary endpoint of the study is objective response rate. Secondary objectives include duration of response, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate, progression-free survival and overall survival. The first part of the study includes a pharmacokinetic stage and a dose-finding stage to identify the recommended dose of [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan to be evaluated in the second part of the study. The second part of the study enrolled patients into one of two cohorts: patients resistant or refractory to T-DM1 (part 2a) and patients who discontinued treatment with T-DM1 for reasons other than resistant or refractory disease (part 2b).
Enrollment into DESTINY-Breast01 was completed in September 2018, with approximately 230 patients at more than 100 sites in North America, Europe, Japan and other countries in Asia. For more information about this study, visit ClinicalTrials.gov.
Unmet Need in HER2 Positive Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the most common cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide; there were an estimated 2.1 million new cases of female breast cancer diagnosed in 2018.1 Approximately one in five breast cancers (20 percent) are HER2 positive (IHC3+ or IHC2+/ISH+).2,3 HER2 is a tyrosine kinase receptor growth-promoting protein found on the surface of some cancer cells that is associated with aggressive disease and poorer prognosis.4,5 To be considered HER2 positive, tumor cancer cells are usually tested first by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and reported as: 0, IHC 1+, IHC 2+ or IHC 3+. A finding of IHC 3+ is considered HER2 positive, and a finding of IHC 2+ is borderline and typically is confirmed by a positive fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) test.3,4
Several unmet treatment needs remain today in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. Many HER2 positive breast cancers eventually advance to the point where no currently approved HER2 targeting therapy continues to control the disease, and there is no established standard of care after treatment with trastuzumab, pertuzumab and T-DM1.6
About [Fam-] Trastuzumab Deruxtecan
[Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201; [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan in U.S. only; trastuzumab deruxtecan in other regions of world) is the lead product in the investigational ADC Franchise of the Daiichi Sankyo Cancer Enterprise. ADCs are targeted cancer medicines that deliver cytotoxic chemotherapy ("payload") to cancer cells via a linker attached to a monoclonal antibody that binds to a specific target expressed on cancer cells. Designed using Daiichi Sankyo's proprietary DXd ADC technology, [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan is comprised of a humanized HER2 antibody attached to a novel topoisomerase I inhibitor payload by a tetrapeptide-based linker. It is designed to target and deliver chemotherapy inside cancer cells and reduce systemic exposure to the cytotoxic payload (or chemotherapy) compared to the way chemotherapy is commonly delivered.
A broad and comprehensive development program with [fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan is underway in North America, Europe and Asia including five pivotal studies. [Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan is in pivotal phase 3 development in previously treated HER2 low expressing metastatic breast cancer versus investigator's choice (DESTINY-Breast04); phase 3 development in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer versus ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) (DESTINY-Breast03); and phase 3 development in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer versus investigator's choice post T-DM1 (DESTINY-Breast02). [Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan also is in pivotal phase 2 clinical development for HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer resistant or refractory to T-DM1 (DESTINY-Breast01); pivotal phase 2 development for HER2 positive advanced gastric cancer resistant or refractory to trastuzumab (DESTINY-Gastric01); phase 2 development for HER2 expressing advanced colorectal cancer; phase 2 development for metastatic non-squamous HER2 overexpressing or HER2 mutated NSCLC; and, phase 1 development in combination with nivolumab for HER2 expressing metastatic breast and bladder cancer.
[Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for the treatment of patients with HER2 positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have been treated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab and have disease progression after T-DM1, and Fast Track designation for the treatment of patients with HER2 positive unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after prior treatment with HER2 targeted therapies including T-DM1 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). [Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan has received SAKIGAKE Designation for the treatment of HER2 positive advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer by the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW).
[Fam-] trastuzumab deruxtecan is an investigational agent that has not been approved for any indication in any country. Safety and efficacy have not been established.

Soldier Missing From Korean War Identified (Ryan)
Release No: 12-047 Sept. 5, 2012
The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing from the Korean War, have been identified and are being returned to his family for burial with full military honors.
Army Master Sgt. Clifford L. Ryan, 27, of Muscatine, Iowa, will be buried Sept. 8 in Riverside, Calif. On Nov. 1, 1950, Ryan's unit, the 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, occupied a defensive position along the Kuryong River, near Unsan, North Korea. Chinese units attacked the area and forced a withdrawal. Almost 600 men, including Ryan, were reported missing or killed in action following the battle.
In 2000, a joint U.S-Democratic People's Republic of Korea team, led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), excavated a mass grave discovered earlier in Unsan County, south of the area known as "Camel's Head." Human remains, of at least five individuals, and U.S. military uniforms were recovered but they were unable to be identified given the technology of the time. In 2007, because of advances in DNA technology, scientists from the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory (AFDIL) reanalyzed the remains.
Scientists from JPAC and AFDIL determined the identity of the remains using circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools, such as mitochondrial DNA–which matched Ryan's brother and sister.
For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO web site at www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call (703) 699-1169.

Home/Colorado Rockies Rumors
Colorado Rockies free agent target: Kyle Schwarber's projected 2022 statistics
By Kevin Henry
Sep 14, 2021; Seattle, Washington, USA; Boston Red Sox left fielder Kyle Schwarber (18) hits a three run double against the Seattle Mariners to take a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Abbie Parr-USA TODAY Sports /
As we continue our look at Major League Baseball free agents who have been tied to the Colorado Rockies through rumors before the current MLB lockout went into effect, let's examine what 2022 statistics are being projected for outfielder Kyle Schwarber.
What does 2022 look like for Colorado Rockies free agent target Kyle Schwarber?
Last season between the Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals, Schwarber slashed .266/.374/.554 with 32 home runs and 71 RBI. Of those homers, 25 came with the Nationals before a trade was orchestrated on July 29. However, because of a hamstring injury, Schwarber did not make his debut with the Red Sox until August 13.
According to MLBTradeRumors.com, Schwarber is expected to earn a four-year, $70 million contract this offseason. Right before the lockout went into effect, Schwarber was reportedly close to signing with the Philadelphia Phillies. However, a final agreement was not reached, but Philadelphia is considered one of the top landing spots for Schwarber in 2022.
While Colorado may not be in the top of potential destinations for Schwarber, there is no doubt that his bat and power potential is needed for a Colorado Rockies outfield that is in desperate need of some home run potential outside of Charlie Blackmon.
How much power could Schwarber bring to 20th and Blake? Let's look at some of his projected numbers for the 2022 campaign.
According to ZiPS, Schwarber will slash .257/.360/.533 with 30 home runs and 81 RBI.
As a note, Schwarber has hit 30 or more home runs in a season three different times, including last season's 32 and a career-high 38 in 2019 with the Chicago Cubs.
What about another projection? According to Steamer, the overall slash numbers are down (.239/.344/.497) while the home runs (35) and RBI (87) both climb.
On one site which puts together the composite projections from five different sources, the numbers show Schwarber putting together a .246/.352/.510 with 32 home runs and 79 RBI.
dark. Next. Projecting what Nick Castellanos could bring to Colorado
Of course, those numbers could change if Schwarber were to sign with the Rockies and play half of his home games at Coors Field. Until the lockout ends, Rockies fans can hope that potential thought becomes a reality.

Supreme Prosecutor's Office: Construction Permits for Wild Beach Are Illegal
Bulgarian fund also wanted to build on "Coral" beach
Екип на Биволъ October 13, 2014
The permits of Spanish "Iberdrola Inmobiliaria" and "Prime Property BG" for construction on the wild Bulgarian beach "Coral" have expired and contain significant violations of procedural rules and substantive law, according to the resolution of the Supreme Administrative Prosecution Office (SAPO). It was approached by caretaker Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva in response to citizen protests to save one of the last pristine Bulgarian beaches.
SAPO has made a detailed analysis of the defects in the administrative acts of the municipality of Tsarevo and has come to the conclusion that they do not comply with current legislation. "The preservation and reproduction of the environment, the maintenance and the diversity of living nature are impossible without a reasonable and lawful construction of urban areas in the country," the resolution further states.
With this decision, SAPO annuls the termination of the case by the Appellate Prosecutor's Office in Burgas. The probe was terminated in 2013 when it became known that the construction permits have been revalidated, causing a scandal and civil protests. Then, to appease public opinion still outraged by "Dunes Gate", Minister Lilyana Pavlova referred the permits to the prosecution.
According to the Supreme Prosecutors, the Burgas probe has not been conducted objectively and comprehensively by the District and Appellate Prosecutor's Office in the city. The latter is given precise instructions to local prosecutors to conduct a new analysis and to appeal before the Court the building permits on grounds of invalidity or illegality.
Illegal building permits were issued as early as during the term in office of the infamous "red" (Socialist-endorsed – editor's note) Mayor Petko Arnaudov and before the Black Sea Coast Act entered into force. They were renewed, without a change of their parameters, by the Mayor from the party Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) Georgi Lapchev in 2013.
Hopes were pinned on Georgi Lapchev to break with the policies of his predecessor – the destroyer of the Strandza mountain, Petko Arnaudov. For now, however, Lapchev is rather following his example. In addition of supporting and working for the construction on "Coral", the current Mayor of Tsarevo is obstructing changes in the municipality's Master Plan under the pretext of protecting the interests of local residents. In fact, he is protecting the interests of two infamous individuals – architect Kalin Tiholov and lawmaker Yordan Tsonev from the party representing mainly the Muslim minority in Bulgaria – Movement for Rights and Freedoms, DPS, nicknamed "Dancho the Fraud". As Bivol revealed, they are the main beneficiaries of the scheme to appropriate huge waterfront properties through false inheritance power of attorney documents, fabricated by five Burgas lawyers. Once the ownership on the properties has been restored by the Court, they were immediately transferred to companies and individuals close to Tiholov and Tsonev.
Precisely architect Kalin Tiholov is the author of the controversial plan of Tsarevo, prepared during the term in office of Petko Arnaudov, in which the entire coast of Natural Park Strandza – from Tsarevo to Varvara, and large areas south of Ahtopol are slated for construction. The Master Plan allows the "cementing" of a total of 40% of the Park. The plan also includes a golf course, which will automatically destroy all biological diversity due to the chemical treatment of the meadows. Because of this plan, the European Commission launched an infringement procedure against Bulgaria, but Lapchev is still protecting it and is blocking the changes that would make it compatible with Natura 2000 and the plan for the management of Park Strandza.
The Mayor's actions are also causing damages to the municipal budget as investors in "Coral" have paid for the illegal permits 1.5 million levs. This emerged from documents published by the Association "Let's Preserve Coral."
Bulgarian Politician and Economist Vladimir Karolev Was Also Preparing to Build on "Coral"
The focus of environmentalists to date was on the project of the Spanish company "Iberdrola Inmobiliaria" which planned to build a huge complex for 3,000 people. In May 2010, the Director of Communications and Marketing of "Iberdrola Inmobiliaria", Jose Luis Gonzalez Sequera said the project "Coral Beach Elite" was one of the most important for his company and the latter will continue to carry out the plan agreed with local authorities. So far, 44 million euro has been invested in the project, of which 40 million euro for the purchase of the land, while the rest was for sewage and building permits.
The resolution of the prosecution, however, shows that there are seven other permits that have been issued to "Prime Property BG" ADTSIS and "Coral Residence". They are for another project, which is adjacent to that of Iberdrola, but it also doesn't meet the current parameters of the Territorial Development Act (TDA).
An investigation of journalists from Bivol in 2010 showed a detailed scheme for the acquisition of land for these projects, bought on the cheap from the Tsarevo municipality against promises of investments that never materialized.
The main protagonists in this deal are the Members of the Board of Burgas' sugar factory "Pobeda" (Victory) – current Burgas Mayor Dimitar Nikolov, Simeon Simeonov and businessman Sava Choroleev who are partners through other companies of the company "Vitatur". The Board of Directors of "Pobeda" also included Vladimir Karolev (until 2009). He also controls "Prime Property" ADTSIS through "Balkan Advisory Company".
The waterfront land of 130 decares was bought by "Vitatur" in 2002 for 7 US dollars per square meter. The Mayor of Tsarevo Petko Arnaudov conveniently failed to enter into the contracts termination clauses in case investment plans are not met. "Vitatur" did not fulfill any of the promises, reshaped the land plots and resold them to companies related to the same owners.
Moreover, according to testimony of the Chair of the Municipal Council, negotiations for the deal took place in the office of Dimitar Nikolov in the "Pobeda" factory, and the deal was also political – against its inking, Nikolov promised the support of his right-wing party Union of Democratic Forces (UDF) for the reelection of the "red" Mayor Arnaudov.
The big profit from municipal land came a few years later, in 2005-2007, when the Spanish company "Iberdrola Inmobiliaria" shelled 40 million euro for 94 decares (about 400 euro per square meter). "Prime Property BG", managed by Karolev, also acquired a portion of the municipal land, but now at market price – 25 decares at 175 euro per square meter, purchased by "Nevada Tours", "Camon Tours", "SVS", "Ponce Holding" and "Holiday On", all connected with Choroleev and "Pobeda".
Once the managed by Karolev company invested "profitably" the shareholders' money in lands owned by his colleagues in "Pobeda", "Prime" expanded their gains with other land plots in the vicinity and announced that it would build the "Coral Residence" village. The building permits, which are now in the crosshairs of the prosecution, date from 2009
Проектът "Корал Резидънс"
Karolev, also known as the agent of the former Communist State Security (DS) with the codename "Kamen", responded publicly to the publication about "Coral" by denying conflict of interest and threatened to sue the journalists who published data on the participation of both sides in the deal with the lands. In 2010, Sava Choroleev managed to remove Karolev from "Prime Property BG" and formally, he has no connection with the company currently. Until today, however, Karolev is one of the most vocal critics of the decision of the Ministry of Regional Development to block construction on "Coral" over the illegal permits.

Kogi State: EFCC Replies Olisa Agbakoba, SAN Says Commission Has Power…
Kogi State: EFCC Replies Olisa Agbakoba, SAN Says Commission Has Power To Probe States Finances
Olisa Agbakoba has been rebuffed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which asserts that it has the authority to look into the national states' finances.
Agbakoba had questioned the commission's dedication to upholding the law and its probe into the Kogi State Government's financial standing.
Agbakoba asserts that the EFCC has no business looking into how the Kogi State Government spent its money in addition to disregarding the law.
The commission, however, stated in a statement on Monday that it took strong issue to Agbakoba's dishonorable and wholly irresponsible attempt to disguise it as an unlawful organization and an intrusive outsider who has no right looking into the theft of Kogi State resources.
The EFCC, in a statement issued by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said in all his tirades, no evidence was presented to support his claim that the EFCC had been lawless, nor did he mention any law which the Commission's investigation of the finances of the Kogi State Government violated.
"Instead, his refrain was to a non-extent decision of the Supreme Court which he also failed to electorate upon. But it is important to state that contrary to the views of Agbakoba, the Supreme Court at no time delivered any judgement which forbids the EFCC from investigating fraud cases involving a state government.
"The Learned counsel ought to have known that the Apex Court of the Land as far back as 2010 in JOLLY TEVORU NYAME V FRN (2010) 11 NWLR (PT.1193)344 held that the "claim that the money belongs to Taraba State and that the state has exclusive claim on it to the exclusion of any other authority by virtue of section 120 of the 1999 constitution cannot stand."
"Furthermore, Agbakoba's erroneous views ought to be tempered by the decision of the Supreme Court in A.G ONDO STATE v. A.G., FEDERATION (2002) 9 NWLR [pt.772] page 222 at page 308 where the Honourable Court held: "It has been pointed out that the provisions of the Act impinge on the cardinal principle of federalism, namely, the requirement of equality and autonomy of the State Government and non-interference with the functions of State Government.
"This is true, but as seen above, both the Federal and State Government share the power to legislate in order to abolish corruption and abuse of office. If this is a breach of the principle of Federalism, then, I am afraid, it is the Constitution that makes the provisions that have facilitated the breach of the principle. As far as the aberration is supported by the provision of the Constitution, I think it cannot rightly be argued that an illegality has occurred by the failure of the Constitution to adhere to the cardinal principles which are at best ideals to follow or guidance for an ideal situation," the commission stated.
The commission added Agbakoba should also know that his views were totally unsupported by the facts, circumstances of Kogi's case and the decision of the Court of Appeal in KALU V FRN & (2012) LPELR- 9287 (CA) which decision knocked the bottom out of the contention of Agbakoba.
"From the decisions of the Appellate Court it is clear that whilst the State Assemblies can investigate finances of their states, they are not empowered to investigate and prosecute fraud cases; that responsibility lies with agencies such as the EFCC.
"It is therefore morally reprehensible for a learned Silk of Agbakoba's calibre to promote the view that state governments cannot be questioned on how they use the resources of their states, and that law enforcement organizations cannot investigate cases of alleged wanton theft of Kogi State's resources particularly where the alleged thieves do not report themselves!
"Had this view been promoted by any other lawyer than Agbakoba who rose to national prominence as advocate of civil liberties and anti-corruption, it would have been pardonable.
"When men who are seen as conscience of the nation begin to approbate and reprobate on an issue, it is almost certain they are driven by motives which could be far from altruistic.
"The manner in which Agbakoba delivered his message in the so-called media briefing, he sounded more like a spokesperson of the Kogi State Government than an advocate of the rule of law. By his demeanor, any citizen who thought the briefing was only a smokescreen to vilify the EFCC at the pleasure of the Kogi State Government, would be forgiven.
"But Agbakoba is not counsel to the Kogi State government, at least not publicly. But even Kogi state lawyers whom he offered his free counsel on how to handle the EFCC at the briefing would not have put up a better performance.
"Despite not being counsel to the Kogi State Government, Agbakoba had no scruples using the media to pontificate on a matter that is currently before a court of competent justification. This, to him, does not amount to a media trial of the EFCC," it stated.
According to EFCC, in his game of ostrich, Agbakoba continually harped on Section 46 of the EFCC Act but ignored the provisions of Section 7 of the same Act and various provisions of the Money Laundering Prevention and Prohibition Act, the Advance Fee Fraud Other Fraud Related Offences Act, among others, which gave the Commission power to investigate all fraud cases.
"Why is Agbakoba so jittery about the robust response of the EFCC to corruption that he would openly incite the next administration against the Commission? That essentially was the agenda when he said: "So the candidate (2023 election candidates) must tell us what they are going to do with all these agencies because we need to know if they are going to allow the EFCC to continue to engage in media trials and carry on as the attack dog of the Federal Government against other arms and levels of governments."
"Is the Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari against Yahaya Bello Administration of Kogi State? Where does Agbakoba get his logic of attack dogs? What is a media trial, when a case has been filed in court and the defendants have taken their pleas? Should Nigerians have been kept in the dark that a certain nephew of Yahaya Bello is facing a N10billion fraud trial?
"EFCC is not averse to criticisms but it will not ignore jaundiced views masked as advocacy for rule of law. No amount of intimidation and sponsored attacks will deter the Commission from investigating cases of corruption in any level of government, or involving any individual however well placed, until we rid our nation of this monster,' the commission added.

$50K bond for Des Plaines man charged with attacking CTA train conductor
CHICAGO (STMW) - Bond was set at $50,000 Tuesday for a northwest suburban man charged with attacking a CTA train operator over the weekend.
Braulio Portes, 26, faces a felony count of aggravated battery to a transit employee, Chicago Police announced late Monday.
About 7:25 p.m. Sunday, Portes "jumped through the window of the operator's cabin" of a Blue Line train as it pulled into the Clark and Lake station in the Loop, police said. Once inside, Portes began to kick and punch the 43-year-old woman who was operating the train.
Other CTA patrons on the train platform detained Portes until police arrived. The conductor was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where her condition stabilized, police said.
Portes, of the 10000 block of Holly Lane in Des Plaines, was ordered held on a $50,000 bond by a judge on Tuesday, according to the Cook County sheriff's office. He is due back in court Nov. 2.

The disappearance of the cosmic spinning top
Scientists measured the space-time warp in the gravity of a binary star and determined the mass of a neutron star -- just before it disappeared.
Published by the editorial team, 5 January 2015
"Our result is important because weighing stars while they freely float through space is exceedingly difficult", said Joeri van Leeuwen, an astrophysicist at The Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy ASTRON, and University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, who led the study. "That is a problem because such mass measurements are required for precisely understanding gravity, the force that is intimately linked to the behaviour of space and time on all scales in our Universe."
An international team of astronomers has now measured both masses in a relativistic binary pulsar system known as PSR J1906+0746, or J1906 for short. The pulsar spins and emits a lighthouse-like beam of radio waves every 144 milliseconds. It orbits another neutron star -- or maybe a white dwarf -- in a little under 4 hours.
Only in a handful of other double neutron stars have masses been measured, and J1906 is by far the youngest. As the supernova explosion that formed J1906 occurred only 100,000 years ago, the binary is in a remarkably pristine and unevolved state. Normal pulsars live to be around 10 million years old; they can then be recycled by binary companion to live for yet another 1 billion years. If the companion to J1906 is a neutron star, it is likely recycled, although it appears to not be shining our way.
The results are published in The Astrophysical Journal, and presented at the 225th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, on January 8.
The pulsar was discovered in 2004 with the Arecibo Observatory, the world's most sensitive radio telescope due to its large, 305-meter dish. From that moment on, the team monitored the pulsar almost daily with the 5 largest radio telescopes on Earth: the Arecibo Telescope (USA), the Green Bank Telescope (USA), Nançay Telescope (France), the Lovell Telescope (UK) and the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (The Netherlands). Over 5 years, that campaign kept exact score of all rotations of the pulsar -- an astounding one billion in total.
"By precisely tracking the motion of the pulsar, we were able to measure the gravitational interaction between the two highly compact stars with extreme accuracy", notes co-author Ingrid Stairs, professor of physics and astronomy at The University of British Columbia, Canada. "These two stars each weigh more than the Sun, but are still over 100 times closer together than the Earth is to the Sun. The resulting extreme gravity causes many remarkable effects."
One of these is geodetic precession. When you start a spinning top, it doesn't only rotate - it also wobbles. According to general relativity, neutron stars, too, should start to wobble as they move through the gravitational well of a massive, nearby companion star. Orbit after orbit the pulsar travels through a space-time that is curved, which leaves an imprint on the spin axis.
The team now measured this geodetic precession in J1906. Because of the curved space time, 1 part in about a million of the pulsar's orbit is "missing", compared to a flat space time. Over the course of an Earth year of observations, this adds up to a change of 2.2 degrees in the orientation of the pulsar rotation axis.
"Through the effects of the immense mutual gravitational pull, the spin axis of the pulsar has now wobbled so much that the beams no longer hit Earth", said van Leeuwen. "The pulsar is now all but invisible to even the largest telescopes on Earth. This is the first time such a young pulsar has disappeared through precession. Fortunately this cosmic spinning top is expected to wobble back into view, but it might take as long as 160 years."

Animation of the effect of geodetic precession in the observer pulsar. Two neutron stars orbit one another. The star visible as a pulsar shows rotating beams. The companion is frozen at the frame center. In a flat space-time, where the companion is massless but the pulsar does orbit it for illustrative purpose, the pulsar rotation axis (represented by the arrow) is unchanged after one orbit. Once the companion mass increases to the measured 1.32 solar mass (about half a million Earth masses, but in a sphere only 10 kilometer across), space-time curves. Within one orbit, the pulsar axis now slants (the effect is exaggerated 1 million times here). Because of that change, the pulsar is now all but invisible from Earth.

The star visible as a pulsar is shown with rotating beams. The counter in the top right counts up the years through which the pulsar was detected. From 1998 to about 2005, beams for both poles hit Earth. After 2005 only the main beam hits Earth. From about 2014 on, both beams miss Earth, and because of that, the pulsar is now all but invisible. Time scale and angles exaggerated for illustrative purposes. The geodetic precession continues, however, and the pulsar may re-appear around 2170. (Credit: Joeri van Leeuwen/ASTRON).

Works by Abueva, Zaragoza, Dela Rosa, Vitalis, Saguil grace 'Elsewhere'
"Retrato de Juan Luna Novicio, Pedro Paterno, Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, Miguel Zaragoza, J. Puerto y hermanos Juan Antonio y Mariano Benlliure" from 1881
By: Lester G. Babiera Philippine Daily Inquirer / 03:30 AM February 26, 2018
Philippine artworks spanning 110 years—from the 1880s to the 1990s—by 12 very important artists are the focus of "Elsewhere," León Gallery's special exhibit during the 2018 edition of Art Fair Philippines on March 1-4 at The Link, Ayala Center, Makati Avenue, Makati City.
"Presentacion," by Miguel Zaragoza
Exhibit is in collaboration with the Asian Cultural Council Manila.
Old and modern masters featured in the exhibit include Miguel Zaragoza, Fabian dela Rosa, Fernando Amorsolo, Macario Vitalis, Nena Saguil, Federico Aguilar Alcuaz, José T. Joya, Benedicto "BenCab" Cabrera, Cesar F. Legaspi, Napoleon V. Abueva, Ang Kiukok.
Curator is Lisa Guerrero Nakpil.
The exhibition takes a page from the ACC's storied tradition of sending Filipino artists abroad to perfect their art. Its precursor, the John D. Rockefeller Foundation, sent its first Filipino artist, Joya, to New York in 1968, and after him, hundreds of other visual artists and photographers, curators and critics to broaden their horizons.
According to Nakpil, the first Filipino to go "Elsewhere" to pursue his art was Lorenzo Rocha, who in 1858 (at age 20) was dispatched by the Manila Academia to Madrid to study at Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.
Second was Zaragoza (1847-1923), represented in the exhibition with a historically important work, a "boceto" for the "Presentación de los Habitantes Indigenos a la Reina Regenta Maria Cristina y la Princesa Mercedes de Asturias en la Exposicion General de las Yslas Filipinas de Madrid, 1887; (Study, The Presentation of the Indigenous Filipinos to the Queen Regent Maria Cristina and the Princess Mercedes of Asturias at the General Exposition of the Philippine Islands, Madrid 1887.)"
The Madrid Exposition put on display the Philippines as the jewel in the crown of Spain's colonial empire. A crystal palace was built in Retiro Park to house flora and fauna as well as tribesmen from all over the country.
In this fine work, the Queen Regent Maria Cristina and her daughter Princess Mercedes are dressed as Roman goddesses; the monarch wields the sword of justice, her daughter carries the olive branch of peace. A courtier beside the queen, presumably the first minister of overseas colonies, carries a strongbox in the shape of a fortress, possibly containing the treasures of the Ultramar, the lands at the edge of the ocean. The group of Dons, dressed in Spanish black and Elizabethan collars, are dressed in ensembles from several centuries before, hinting that this may be the court of Philip II, who gave his name to the Philippines. Filipinos in straw hats present a pile of precious silks to the majesties.
Philippine premiere
Leo Valledor
"Elsewhere" will also see the Philippine premiere of Filipino-American Leo Valledor.
"Valledor belongs to the second wave of American artists after abstract expressionism—a group famously called 'post-painterly abstractionists," Nakpil said. "The son of migrant Filipinos who arrived in California, Valledor, like a certain other painter from the northern Philippines, quickly became part of the young cutting-edge art circles. Armed with an innovative talent, he fit right into the cool, avant-garde set that synthesized both jazz and the abstract art."
Valledor is considered a pioneer of the hard-edge painting style and then became a leader of the minimalist movement in the 1970s. His works are displayed at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as well as in other key US institutions. —CONTRIBUTED

We believe quality public education and good Board service should be conducted in an ethical manner with traditional principles such as honesty, trust, fairness and integrity. As Board members, we are guided by Ohio law, the Ohio School Boards Association's Code of Ethics (below) and the National School Board Association's Code of Conduct (below).
We strive to support our school district, its leadership, teachers, staff, students and their families in every way we possibly can. We wish for our public meetings to be both welcoming and productive. Below, we have provided information we think will help answer some of the most frequently asked questions by those who join us in meetings. We hope you find it helpful. As always, thank you for engaging in the education of our community's children.
Board meetings are open to the public and community members are encouraged to attend. We meet on the second Wednesday of each month in the Lakewood High School Library (9331 Lancer Rd. S.E., Hebron, OH 43025) at 6:30 P.M. unless otherwise noted. The board occassionally conducts special meetings when district matters need immediate attention.
All notice of meetings, meeting agendas and approved Board Minutes are available on this page and also from the Treasurer's Office. Social media and local news outlets are also utilized for public notification purposes.
Various committee meetings are also scheduled periodically. These meetings typically comprise of two Board members, district leadership and others as applicable. Notice of these meetings are on this page, however, agendas and meeting minutes are not available unless noted.
We welcome community member participation at meetings. Those who wish to address the board will be asked to stand and begin by telling the Board their name and address. Public participation is scheduled in each meeting's agenda and may also be allowed when a Board member invites additional commentary.
Comments are limited to three minutes. Because we wish to hear from everyone who would like to comment, we ask that no participant speak more than once on the same topic until all others who wish to speak on that topic have been heard. We encourage residents to bring up issues that affect the district as a whole. Board meetings are not the appropriate place to discuss individual or building-level concerns, or for personnel issues. Also, out of respect to students and staff, the board does not allow personal attacks. Those who violate the policy will be asked to immediately conclude their statement.
In general, most public participation statements will be recorded and followed up with individually by the Superintendent or appropriate school or Board offical after the meeting. Because we do not have prior knowledge of speakers or topics, please do not be offended if we are unable to offer an immediate response to a person's comments or questions.
Ohio law permits board members to hold limited subject private discussions during a meeting. Executive sessions allow members to discuss personnel matters, property purchases, possible legal action, employment negotiations, security arrangements and items the law says must be kept confidential. Because Ohio law says all votes must be cast in public, executive sessions are for discussion purposes only.
Ohio's Sunshine Law (Ohio Revised Code Section (RC) 121.22) requires public bodies, including school boards of education to hold public meetings, provide notices of when those meetings will occur, keep minutes of those meetings, permit executive sessions for discussion of limited subjects and establish penalties for violations of the law.

Home/Summaries/The World According to Garp (1982)
The World According To Garp chronicles the life of T. S. Garp; a sweet-natured writer whose life is a weird minefield of violence, adultery, fatherhood, rampant feminism, and eerie coincidence. Although he sees himself as a "serious" writer, when his mother Jenny Fields writes a feminist manifesto at an opportune time, she finds herself as a magnet for all manner of distressed women like the transsexual ex-NFL receiver Roberta Muldoon.
'The World According to Garp' Movie Summary
The World According to Garp begins with a young nurse, Jenny Fields, introducing her parents to her new born son, T. S. Garp. Jenny calmly, yet very graphically, describes how she had herself impregnated by a dying soldier while serving as a nurse during World War II.
Jenny, who always wanted a child without the burden of dealing with its father, details how the soldier, a technical sergeant who could only say his last name, Garp, had a constant erection due to priapism. Shortly before his death, Jenny decided to remove her undies, mount the brain dead ball turret gunner, and use his sperm complete her mission. It must have been a direct hit, or else this movie never would have happened.
Jenny begins working at an all-boys prep school. She has her hands full raising Garp, who is forever curious about the fighter pilot father he'll never know. Garp pursues amateur wrestling because he sees wrestlers wear head gear similar to a pilot's helmet. Garp, when not trying to be his father, spends time playing with two sisters, Cushie and Pooh Percy. Cushie, the slut of the duo, teaches Garp about "lust," while, Pooh, who could be described as pure evil, teaches Garp what it's like to be viciously attacked by their family dog.
As a teen, Garp dedicates himself to becoming a famous writer. He meets and becomes immediately smitten with Helen Holm, the daughter of his wrestling coach. Helen tells Garp that she doesn't like wrestlers or writers but would marry someone who is good at both.
Garp writes Helen a short story and informs Helen her that he is going off to New York to become a serious writer. The asexual Jenny, inspired by Garp's decision, decides that she has spent enough time with horny young boys at the academy and joins Garp in the Big Apple.
Amazed by New York's eccentricities, Jenny has coffee with a hooker to talk about "lust." Ms. Fields wants to know if the hooker gets any physical or emotional enjoyment from her job. Jenny is shocked to learn that prostitution is actually illegal, believing women should be able to do whatever she want with her bodies. Then, like all loving, mothers, Jenny pays for Garp to have sex with the hooker.
This incident inspires Jenny, who begins to write a novel called A Sexual Suspect. At the same time, Garp continues penning his first own novel. Helen falls in love with the story and decides to marry Garp, who is now a real writer.
A Sexual Suspect becomes a nationwide bestseller and feminist manifesto, making Jenny the figurehead of the feminist movement. So much so, a man attempts to assassinate her at a book signing. All of the attention Jenny gets not only worries Garp, but infuriates him, because his first novel is critically acclaimed, but a slow seller, while Jenny's book has taken over the world.
Garp, Hellen and their son, Duncan, take a holiday to Jenny's house. While there, Garp discovers Jenny has opened her home to women needing a safe haven from physical and emotional abuse. When Garp tries to speak with one of the women, he quickly learns she has no tongue and "speaks" via a small pad of paper. Garp then meets a transsexual woman by the name of Roberta Muldoon. She opens up to Garp, informing him that she is the former tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles. Roberta informs Garp the women with no tongues are part of The Ellen James Society.
This sorority voluntarily removed their own tongues as a sign of support for an 11 year old girl who was brutally raped by two men. These men cut out Ellen James' tongue so she would not be able to report on them. As an adult, living incognito, Ellen James asked the society to disband; preventing other women from mutilating themselves, but the society refused to listen. Garp, never understanding why these women would intentionally harm themselves, was adamantly against it and having his mother involved with them.
After Garp and Helen have their second son, Walt, Helen begins teaching graduate school classes. She is tempted by the advances of a young student named Michael Milton. Believing Garp had an affair of his own, which he did, she decides to pursue an affair Michael. Michael's scorned girlfriend Marge delivers a letter to Garp, exposing Helen and Michael's affair. Garp, mad as hell, takes their sons and leaves the house. Helen comes home to find an empty house and Marge's letter sitting on the kitchen table. Garp calls Helen, telling her that she has to break it off with Michael immediately and no "one last fucks for the road."
Helen ends things with Michael over the phone but he will not listen, insisting on seeing her one last time at the Garp household. Helen joins Michael in his car, pleading with him to end their relationship. Michael wants one last romp and convinces a reluctant Helen to perform fellatio on him.
While Helen is going down on Mike, Garp and the boys "fly" into the driveway at full speed in Garp's car. To make a bad situation horrifying, the car crashes into Mike's car. Michael has his tallywacker chomped off by Helen. Garp breaks his jaw and lacerates his tongue. Duncan loses an eye. And Walt, tragically, dies in the crash.
Garp, Helen and Duncan physically and emotional rehabilitate at Jenny's house. Garp and Helen reconcile, have a baby girl. Rejuvenated by the love for his family, Garp starts writing a controversial book about Ellen James and the Society. This book, ELLEN, explains how the Society goes against Ellen James' wishes, continuing to mutilate themselves.
Jenny and Roberta attend a political rally, where Jenny is the keynote speaker. As Jenny introduces herself, Roberta spots a sniper hiding nearby. She isn't fast enough to prevent the gunman from shooting Jenny, taking her life.
The Ellen Jamesians hold an all women memorial service for Jenny Fields. Garp, wanting to be around others who are share his pain, decides to dress in drag and attends the service with Roberta. Garp's childhood nemesis Pooh, now an Ellen Jamesian, spots Garp fingering him to the rest of the crowd. The Society ferociously attacks Garp, who is saved by Roberta and a mystery woman. The mystery woman turns out be Ellen James herself. She thanks Garp and successfully helps him escape because she is touched by the book he dedicated to her.
Now a prep school wrestling coach, Garp has gotten his life back to normal. One day during practice, a woman dressed as a nurse walks into the wrestling room and shoots Garp three times in the chest. This woman turns out to be the bane of Garp's existence, Pooh. Our last images are of Garp flying through the air to an area hospital. Flying just like the father he never knew.

In the Alentejo, the most authentic part of Portugal, you still can find the public washrooms in which the old Portugese woman did their wash. Big fields with olivetrees, a big amound of herds with sheeps, but, especially, peace and quiet. Overhere, they never heard of a traffic-jam.
You can visit de town mercado (covered market), where fresh vegetables, fish and homemade cakes and cookies are sold. You can go to one of the weekly feira's, the open marketplaces, they are in every town. Definitely a must on the weekly market is certainly the charcoal grilled chicken (Frango), with salad, bread and a glass of wine. You will love it!
You can find almost everything for sale on the markets, a lot of cheap and colorful clothes and also beautful authentic Alentejano pottery, you can taste different types of olives, and fresh cheese made from the milk of a sheep or goat. The wine is very tasty and a good quality, bottled in this region. Also famous are the well-preserved handpainted tiles on the walls, once made in brilliantly colors, called Azuleios.
This area is very suitable for walking and enjoying all the bird sounds and nature, the perfect oasis of greenery and pristine streams in this area far to find. Fed by natural wells they provide life and green. You can hike, mountain biking, rock climbing, there are opportunities for beach trips with real Lusitano horses, surfing on huge waves of the Atlantic Ocean ... there's even a safari park in the neigborhood. Alro the larger cities are just a short drive away.
There is much to do and fun for everyone. Sea, sun and beaches are always closeby. From Sines to Setúbal is 80 kilometer beach! Just waiting for you.
We are just 1 hours drive from the Algarve with its beautiful coastline and the majestic villas of the rich and famous, at 1 hours drive from the metropolis of Lisbon, a culture with magnificent old and new buildings. A very nice mixture of old and new together in the old town, the Baixa ... with its Feira da Ladra, the thieves market, you must have to see this! Lisbon has the most modern malls in the world and you can take your time to find them out.
Discover the authentic fishing villages of the West Coast such as Melides, Santo Andre, Porto Covo and the magnificent stone beaches (Praia da Pedra) Milfontes .. . Deeper in the Alentejo you can visit Evora, Vila Viscosa with the Royal Palaces and the very, very deep marble quarries of Borba.
Experience the rich nature, a virtually untouched coastline and enjoy the peace and the authentic culture of Portugal ... a beautifully preserved Alentejo!
