How many divers will Rishi Sunak need to plumb the murky depths of Nadhim Zahawi's tax affairs?
Marina Hyde

Further inspirational developments in British public life, as yet another inquiry is launched into a serving member of the government. Having spent last week claiming that party chair and former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi had addressed the murky matter of his taxes "in full", prime minister Rishi Sunak declared yesterday: "I have asked our independent adviser to get to the bottom of everything." Deep waters and all that. It's good Sunak makes it sound like a real dredging exercise for which hazmat divers have been deployed and a forensic dentist put on standby.

After her dignified exit last week, we had to endure a lot of tedious discourse as to whether or not Jacinda Ardern could really "have it all". After Zahawi's preposterously undignified decision not to exit this week, you'd hope No 10 would be asking: can Nadhim really "have it all" – a top job in government and a tax bill as slim as Jonathan Gullis's intellect? No, would seem to be the obvious answer – but it doesn't seem to be the one on which Zahawi has alighted.
"In order to ensure the independence of this process," he said yesterday, "you will understand that it would be inappropriate to discuss this issue any further." Any further? He hasn't discussed it at all, unless you count legal threats for "smears" that seem to have turned out to be "facts". But yet again, the public finds itself in a familiar limbo: being told it would not be "proper" to pre-empt the findings of yet another formal inquiry. These things must be cheaper by the dozen.
The justice secretary is under formal investigation for bullying. The guy who was chancellor is under formal investigation over his tax affairs. He is now party chairman, charged with representing the government on the public stage. His predecessor in the role of chancellor, one Rishi Sunak, was found to have a wife who used non-dom status to avoid paying UK tax on her vast fortune. They had an inquiry related to that – though only into how the information got leaked.
Sunak's predecessor-but-one in the role of prime minister was himself the subject of a number of protracted inquiries by everyone from standards officials to senior civil servants to the police, whose results we were forever being warned it would not be "proper" to pre-empt.
The privileges committee investigation into Boris Johnson is still continuing, and soon to reassume centre stage; there are now also two new inquiries into the appointment of the BBC's chairman amid allegations he assisted Johnson in securing a loan of up to £800,000 weeks before the then PM appointed him to the role. Whatever any of this is, are the right words for the permanent state of investigative limbo in which government exists really "appropriate" and "proper"?
As far as Zahawi goes, the fact that will be immediately obvious to a public currently staring down the business end of the January tax return deadline is that the then chancellor having to pay millions of pounds of avoided tax and a penalty to HMRC, for which he was responsible for at the time, is a total and utter pisstake.
Still, I'm excited for rookie ministerial ethics chief Laurie Magnus, who now has his first case. It'll be fun to find out Laurie's procedural style – will it be the every-stone-left-unturned approach favoured by his predecessor, Lord Geidt, or maybe the silent despair that engulfed Geidt's predecessor, Alex Allan, who opted to resign when his lengthy investigation finding that Priti Patel had breached the ministerial code was overruled by Boris Johnson quickly deciding she hadn't.
Arguably the big question for Magnus to scrawl on the investigation whiteboard is: who taxes the taxman? Like me, you wouldn't want to pre-empt anything, but you would hope that the guy who had ultimate oversight of the Inland Revenue at the time did not actually spend an unspecified chunk of his tenure trying to negotiate his own multimillion-pound shortcomings in this department.
As for Sunak, his decision to prolong this with an ethics investigation simply underlines his weakness and poor judgment, as well as landing a prime minister with his specific domestic vulnerabilities on this front in an awful lot of stories with the word "tax" in the headline. Of course, Zahawi is frequently described as "personable" and "well liked" among Conservative MPs, which in light of information serves as another reminder that not paying proper tax is the acceptable form of sociopathy.
Then again, you can tell quite a lot about Zahawi's situation by the calibre or absence of his defenders. This morning the government served up Home Office minister Chris Philp as the broadcast-round sacrifice. Philp has been involved in multiple firms that have gone bust, in some cases reportedly owing money to the taxman. I note he describes himself as a "serial entrepreneur", which is a bit like someone with syphilis describing themselves as a "hopeless romantic". Like others sent over the top in recent days, Philp this morning leant chiefly on the formulation that something or other "is my understanding", or that something or other was the prime minister's "understanding". Yet there are clearly a whole lot of things left to be understood. The public is presented with the bizarre spectacle of people who work with each other every day claiming that "we don't know". Then why don't you save everyone a lot of drawn-out pain and just ask? You have to wonder if anyone at the top of government talks to each other.
To remind ourselves of the absurdist timeline of all this, Zahawi was only appointed chancellor when Sunak resigned in the dying days of Johnson's government – the equivalent of earning your dream promotion to second officer on the Hindenburg shortly after bits of its ashes started raining down on New Jersey. Barely a few hours later, even Zahawi seemed to have clocked this state of affairs, releasing a statement on Treasury letterhead explaining that he had subsequently tried to get Johnson to resign. "Yesterday I made clear to the prime minster that there was only one direction where this was going, and that he should leave with dignity … I am heartbroken that he hasn't listened," this hammed. "Prime minister," Nadhim concluded, "you know in your heart what the right thing to do is, and go now."
Overall impressions? Nadhim's grammar and sense of to whom exactly this document is addressed are all over the shop. But there is a kernel of good advice in there for the situation in which he now finds himself, if he'd only let himself take it, and take it now.

Football star told by ex-teammate to 'get off Instagram please'
Football star Danny Amendola has continued a series of bizarre posts after sharing intimate details of his relationship with ex-girlfriend Olivia Culpo.

Danny Amendola tried to set the record straight following his explosive rant about ex-girlfriend Olivia Culpo that has since been deleted.
A Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, Amendola, now playing wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, shared intimate details of his relationship with the model while accusing her of being fame hungry.
He attempted to clarify his statement with a new message which accompanied a photograph of a lion.
"What I meant to say yesterday was that the media and general public have no idea what goes on behind closed doors," Amendola, 33, said.
"I don't participate in fake intangibles that consume the public eye. I'm a private, single guy and if everyone's happy — I'm happy," he continued.
Amendola then stated he would "take blame for the miscommunication! Good vibes only from me! ALL LOVE always."
After wrapping up his initial post, Amendola dropped another message, captioning a selfie, "Fake people have an image to maintain. The real ones just don't care."
Amendola's former teammate, Patriots receiver Julian Edelman, replied with some advice (via Barstool Sports), "Get off Instagram please … thanks."
Amendola, who split from Culpo, 26, last fall, appeared to blast the model online Saturday.
"I believe there should be a boundary btw private life and social media. Olivia believes in fishbowl lifestyle. This fundamental difference was huge in our relationship. If you're my real friend you know I'm private," Amendola wrote.

"My mother, brother, father and nephew are closest to me in this world and you don't see one picture of them and that's for their protection from those who criticise and judge. I believe in nailing pictures frames on the inside of my house to remind the ones I love that I care.
"Olivia chooses and wants to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money. Which was hard for me to understand but quickly had to learn. Whereas the cost of fame in this world doesn't appeal to me. I play ball for one reason and that's RESPECT.
Amendola said there were some aspects of his and Culpo's relationship which were positive — like the "f***ing crazy" sex — and admitted his own flaws contributed to the couple's rocky times.
"The only reason I'm writing this post is because, whether I liked it or not, we lived in the public eye. Some of it is amazing! I've met some of the nicest people from all over the world and Olivia and I had some amazing times together, just like any other loving relationship we fought," Amendola wrote.
"A lot of the time it was my fault bc let's be honest I can be an idiot. But! Yup! She's f***ed up too! And if you cross me I'm a hard mfer to deal with. The universe brought her and I together to enjoy life, love, and learn. We celebrated that as often as we could.
"And the sex was f***ing crazy too."
He also seemed to take a shot at Zedd, whom Culpo was previously spotted with at Coachella earlier this month, TMZ reported.
The Detroit Lions receiver later noted, "It's not fun seeing your name attached to a click-bait headline story that is completely fabricated bulls*** ... so when I saw this love triangle gossip I tried to clear the air."

Ex-hedge fund trader charged in $276M insider ploy (Update)

A former hedge fund portfolio manager was arrested Tuesday in what prosecutors called perhaps the most lucrative insider trading scheme of all time—an arrangement to obtain secret, advance results of tests on an experimental Alzheimer's drug that helped his fund and others make more than $276 million.
The case also led authorities to investigate the activities of one of the nation's wealthiest hedge fund managers, Steven A. Cohen.
The portfolio manager, Mathew Martoma, was accused in U.S. District Court in Manhattan with using the information to advise other investment professionals to buy shares in the companies developing the drug, then later to dump those investments and place financial bets against the companies when the tests returned disappointing results.
"The charges unsealed today describe cheating coming and going," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said at a news conference. The scheme unfolded "on a scale that has no historical precedent."
Martoma's trades helped reap a hefty profit from 2006 through July 2008, while he worked for CR Intrinsic Investors LLC of Stamford, Connecticut, an affiliate of SAC Capital Advisors, a firm owned by Cohen.
Cohen is not referred to by name in court papers but is frequently alluded to for his dealings with the defendant in the weeks leading up to an announcement about the drug trial.
The government has been scrutinizing SAC since at least November 2010, when the FBI subpoenaed SAC and other influential hedge funds. Martoma is the fourth person associated with SAC Capital to be arrested on insider trading charges in the last four years.
SAC spokesman Jonathan Gasthalter said the company and Cohen "are confident that they have acted appropriately and will continue to cooperate with the government's inquiry."
The FBI said the scheme developed after Martoma met a doctor in Manhattan involved in an Alzheimer's drug trial in October 2006. According to a criminal complaint, he later obtained confidential information related to the final results of a drug trial.
Martoma's attorney, Charles Stillman, called his client "an exceptional portfolio manager who succeeded through hard work and the dogged pursuit of information in the public domain. What happened today is only the beginning of a process that we are confident will lead to Mr. Martoma's full exoneration."
Martoma was arrested at his home in Boca Raton, Florida, and made an initial appearance in federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was released on $5 million bail on charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud. He was scheduled to return to court Monday in Manhattan.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed civil papers in the case against CR Intrinsic Investors, Mathew Martoma and Dr. Sidney Gilman. The civil complaint said the illegal money was earned in July 2008, when various hedge funds traded ahead of a negative public announcement involving the clinical trial results of an Alzheimer drug being jointly developed by Elan Corp. and Wyeth.
The SEC complaint said that Martoma carried out the scheme with Gilman, an 80-year-old professor of neurology at the University of Michigan Medical School who served as chairman of a safety committee overseeing the clinical trial. Gilman was selected by Elan and Wyeth to present the final clinical trial results at a July 29, 2008, medical conference.
Messages left with the University of Michigan Medical School were not immediately returned.
Gilman's lawyer, Marc Mukasey, said his client is cooperating with the SEC and the U.S. Attorney's Office, and has entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors.
A copy of the non-prosecution agreement released by federal prosecutors Tuesday showed that Gilman has agreed to forfeit nearly $187,000 that he received from Elan for consulting work in 2007 and 2008 and from an expert networking firm for consultations between 2006 and 2009 with Martoma's hedge fund.
Bharara said Martoma gained from "cultivating and corrupting" Gilman, eventually receiving $9 million in bonus pay for the year when the trades were made.
The prosecutor said Martoma arranged through an expert networking firm to meet with the doctor about 42 times, beginning in the summer of 2006. He eventually convinced him to start talking about the drug trial.
The SEC said leaks by Martoma caused hedge fund portfolios managed by CR Intrinsic and by an affiliated investment adviser to liquidate more than $700 million in holdings in Elan and Wyeth.
The massive repositioning, the SEC said, allowed CR Intrinsic and various hedge funds to reap huge illicit profits and avoid steep losses.
"By cultivating and corrupting a doctor with access to secret drug data, Mathew Martoma and his hedge fund benefited from what might be the most lucrative inside tip of all time," Bharara said.
The prosecutor said the doctor sent him a draft of the 24-page presentation he planned to make at a conference announcing the results.
"And that is when Martoma had to do a spectacular about-face because he understood that—with these negative results looming—the hedge fund's massive $700 million stake had become a terrible bet," Bharara said. "And so, just like that, overnight, Martoma went from bull to bear as he tried to dig his hedge fund out of a massive hole."
The news caused Elan's stock price to plunge by more than 40 percent, while the price of Wyeth fell about 12 percent.
The bets against the drug developers netted additional profits totaling $76.2 million. That is roughly the same amount that prosecutors said former hedge fund manager Raj Rajaratnam made in illegal profits before he was arrested. The one-time billionaire is serving an 11-year prison sentence in what was once considered the biggest insider trading case in U.S. history.
A year later, a hedge fund employee recommended that Martoma be terminated and he was let go in 2010, Bharara said.
April Brooks, head of the New York FBI office, said the arrest was a continuation of the FBI's five-year campaign against insider trading and that no end was in sight.
"What we see again is an unholy alliance between an insider willing to divulge valuable non-public information and a money manager to whom that information is as good as gold," she said.

The Texas summer sun feels like it's doubling its efforts this week, and these "90 and up" days are once again becoming the norm. Luckily, your cooling system is prepared and ready to cooperate, helping you stay comfortable even on the nastiest days. Unluckily, however, that means you're starting to see those high spring and summer cooling bills.
Want some help balancing out your comfort and cost ratios? The experts at Total Air & Heat can help you by teaching you how to police one of the most critical factors that influence your utility costs: the temperature you set your thermostat to.
Does the Temperature I Set My Thermostat Actually Matter?
It really does! On average a single degree on your thermostat can be roughly equated to a 6-12% increase in the power your system consumes in order to get the job done. Primarily this is due to how long your AC system runs since in order to hit 69 degrees a system has to run for a longer period of time—and thus expend more energy—than it would to hit, say, 71 degrees.
So What's the Ideal Thermostat Setting?
This is going to vary from home to home. What kind of system you have, the efficiency of the system, and your personal comfort preferences all come into account. After all, we could tell you that setting the system to 75 would save you tons of cash, and while it would, you would probably feel a good bit warm, which sort of defeats the purpose.
If you are looking for an "ideal" setting, most experts would agree that the sweet spot sits around 72. It's a reasonably cool temperature, saves on some energy, and is probably fairly close to where you already keep it. But if you're comfortable with 75, more's the better, or if you prefer 70, well, that's your decision.
Additionally, it's very worth mentioning that adjusting your thermostat dynamically can yield excellent results as well. Setting the temperature to 78 while you're away at work, or up a few degrees while you are sleeping, can have a huge impact on your costs.
Don't want to fuss over turning the thermostat up, down, and all around all day long? There's a better solution! Programmable thermostats can not only run sophisticated routines that help keep you cool and save you money, but they also offer energy reports, remote settings controls, and some of the higher end thermostats can even learn your preferences and set their own smart routines tailored to saving you energy.
Mastering your ceiling fans. Set your fans to run counterclockwise in the summer so that it pushes air directly downward. The cool air on your skin creates an evaporative action, reducing the temperature feel in your rooms by multiple degrees.
Changing up your wardrobe. If you depend on polyester tees and synthetic cloth, stop it! Cotton and linen breathe far better, helping you stay comfortable.
Pursuing a more efficient AC system. Though it is certainly an investment, it's one worth considering. A modern, high-efficiency cooling system can save you on costs all on its own over the years. Add in the more even and effective cooling, and your old 68 and barely comfortable might turn into a cool setting of 71.
Looking for a service team that is dedicated to helping you stay comfortable and keep costs to a minimum? Get in touch with the certified HVAC contractors at Total Air! Our teams can offer you the latest and greatest in cooling tech and products, so contact us today to find out more!

My college roommate taught English as a second language to international students at our university, so we had a lot of cute foreign boys hanging around our apartment. At her 21st birthday party, we joked about playing continent bingo with her guests because it was such a diverse sampling of people.
The hottest guy at that party was Colombian and barely spoke a word of English. His brown eyes were very expressive, though. When a friend told me she was going to flirt with him, I wished her luck but thought she was doomed because she didn't know any Spanish. At the end of the night, I found my friend triumphantly making out with the cute Colombian.
Flirtatious miming may be enough for a single makeout session, but it's not enough to sustain a relationship. My friend's hot date turned into a flop when the couple struggled to communicate over lunch the day after the party.

This book is timely as increasingly large numbers of us react to health, environmental and market conditions by growing more of our own food but wonder about the trade-offs of natural versus synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. The information offered here will be useful whether you are a neophyte or seasoned gardener.
I've been gardening for most of my 72 years and have nearly100 gardening books in my library. I learned many new things here. For instance, regarding companion planting, I have long thought that fragrances were the most important condition to repel unwanted insects. Not so–color seems to be the best indicator of whether a plant would be an effective companion. In fact, an aroma may make things worse.
Author Jeff Gillman is a knowledgeable referee on the sometimes near-hysterical fight between organic enthusiasts and those who favor synthetic garden inputs. He gained his doctorate at the University of Georgia and is currently an associate professor of horticulture at the University of Minnesota where in addition to teaching courses on nursery production and pesticide use he also runs the experimental nurseries and orchards there.
Gillman is an organic advocate but recognizes that many gardeners want the fast response of commercial products such as pesticides, so he goes through the list of both organic and synthetic choices. Effectiveness, environmental impact quotients, and toxicological effects are all covered.
Here you will learn the trade-offs between natural and synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and much more. Subjects covered are fertilization, weed control, insect control, disease control, and the control of birds, deer, rodents, and mollusks.
Throughout the book, after discussing each subject, the author synopsizes with bulleted Benefits, Drawbacks, and The Bottom Line, which is the subtitle of the book. For those who want the fewest possible words, this may be all you need to read to get the information you desire.
In the chapter on fertilization are discussed the well-known benefits of organic matter in the soil, compost and manure. Less well known, but covered here is the issue of pathogens in manure and compost, especially compost tea and manure tea. The section on natural versus synthetic fertilizers provided the news to me that while most of us believe that synthetic fertilizers contain petrochemicals, "that's rarely the case." It turns out the nitrogen is in fact drawn from the air by a process invented by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, both of whom received Nobel prizes. Those of us concerned about energy depletion and costs, however, will note that both coal and natural gas are used in the process.
The longest and perhaps most important chapter is on insect control. There is solid info on organic cultural practices such as bagging fruit, choosing resistant plants, using floating row covers, handpicking and hosing, nectaries, companion planting, physical, visual and pheromone traps of various design for various pests, sticky cards and paste, and beneficial insects.
Organic insecticides and synthetic insecticides receive twelve pages each, a balanced treatment comparing effectiveness and danger to both gardeners and the environment. In the chapter wrap-up the author "is siding with the organic choices right up until you start looking at the pesticides. Once these things enter the picture, all bets are off for me." Should the gardener decide to use pesticides, this chapter provides the scientifically known pros and cons. He strongly recommends the organic cultural practices. One of the few strategies that Gillman does not offer is simply growing more plants than you need–if you need the produce from three tomato plants, why, just grow five or six; if insects or disease reduce yield, you may well still have enough for your purposes.
The Truth About Organic Gardening clears up much misunderstanding about natural and synthetic strategies for dealing with the many challenges of gardening. Not all synthetic pesticides are awful. Not all organic pesticides are safe. If, like me, you are an organic enthusiast, expect to have some of your beliefs challenged.
Gardening is an ongoing learning process. Each garden is unique. Each gardener is unique. To garden successfully and to produce healthful food for you and your family you will necessarily make many choices. This book will be very helpful in making those choices.

Now and again I come across a book, or an article, or a podcast that really makes me sit up and think. That happened a few weeks ago. I'd been recommended a book called "Grit: The Passion and Power of Perseverance" by Angela Duckworth but hadn't got around to reading it yet. Then, by coincidence, her TED talk on the subject popped up as a recommendation on my Spotify list. Her name seemed to be coming up once too often to ignore, so I clicked through and couldn't stop watching her presentation. I found what she said so interesting that I immediately started on the book itself, which has proved equally compelling.
Duckworth's concept isn't new but it's communicated in a fresh and thought-provoking way and, as a highly respected academic, she knows what she's talking about. As a former teacher of seventh grade students, she noticed that the children who got the best grades weren't necessarily the children whom she had identified, by their IQ numbers alone, as "the brightest". Similar trends were seen at West Point Military Academy and other institutions she studied.
So, why is that, she wondered? Why do some people with more natural or innate talent fail when others with far less succeed?
Essentially, she identifies the quality of "grit" as the one defining feature that marks people out for succeeding at long term goals – going for the marathon rather than the sprint. It's passion, perseverance, getting up when you get knocked down, keeping going. It's about time and patience and "stickability".
I really enjoyed this book because it challenges the concept that you're either born with the ability to do something or you're not. People with far less "natural" talent can succeed far more in life if they apply themselves, consistently, over time. Whether it's a child at school, a student at college or someone in the workplace, what really counts, according to Duckworth's research, is sticking at it, showing up, day after day, putting in the effort over time and making constant small improvements for long term gains. And she suggests a four step method to help the reader achieve long term success.
I've shared the link to the TED talk with several of my teams here at Peninsula hoping they'll take something from it as I have.
It seems that I wasn't alone in enjoying her TED talk – it's been viewed by more than eight million people. Here's the link.
And if you want to read the book, here's the Amazon link.

Excellent performance, fit and function for the winter. The Espresso jacket combines the windproof, breathable barrier of a GoreTex Winstopper membrane with a stretch fit, anatomic cut that's ideal for the competitive road rider.
The Espresso jacket is perfectly weighted. Neither suffocating you with warmth nor restricting body movement. It sits comfortably against your body and the stretch Windstopper fabric moves easily. More importantly the jacket is extremely comfy and with some selective base layer choice it's easy to adapt the jacket to a broad range of weather conditions. For example we wore it from mild 12 ºC conditions to ice cold and windy -1ºC days and the jacket felt equally comfortable.
The DWR coating of the face fabric beads and shed's water very well. Although not waterproof the fabric will keep you dry through light showers. Dampness only working it's way though the seams in heavy downpours. Even if you get wet underneath it's rarely a problem as the Windstopper membrane blocks out the windchill and the lightly brushed inner fleece keeps you warm.
Windstopper fabrics are fast becoming the material of choice for the cold wet conditions. More breathable than waterproof shells internal temperature is also easier to regulate. They're a versatile choice through winter and you don't get much better than Castelli's Espresso jacket. With its high grade Gore-Tex Winstopper fabric and impressive list of features the Espresso is a quality, high performance choice.
The cut is specific for the bike – long at the back, short at the front. The arms are anatomically cut and don't hang or restrict movement when stretched out on the bars. The stretch of the Windstoppper fabric moves naturally with your body and doesn't restrict movement.
If things get hot, meshed lined vent zips lie to the side of the chest. They're easy to open and close whilst in the saddle. The only minor criticism we'd have is that they're a bit hard to work around the straps of a backpack. You can hardly blame Castelli for this design oversight but it's worth taking into account if you carry a pack on a regular basis.
There's a useful MP3 pocket big enough for your iShuffle or Nano. The pocket can be accessed either through the front flap or via the zipped pocket on the inside. The neck also features a guide for the headphone lead.
The main zip is baffled and features a good zip garage at the top to prevent the zipper from rubbing against the neck. The baffle is also reinforced with a line of webbing to improve wear and neatly finished off with reflective Castelli tape.
The cuffs also get zips. This make putting on and taking the jacket off over gloves easier. It also means you can open the zips for a bit of extra ventilation.
Two rear pockets feature natty zip pull. These can be removed if you don't like the look. Despite the usual looks the pullers worked really well and help in locating the pockets. There's also a flap covered zip pocket between the two side pockets. As with the cuff the waist is treated with silicone grippers to keep the back in place. Sticky silicone scorpions also line the outside of the hem to help keep a shell in place.

The day finally came were Kia and DC Entertainment revealed all five of their Justice League superhero cars at the 2012 SEMA show. These cars were made to support DC's "We Can Be Heroes" campaign, which tries to fight hunger in Africa. These cars will certainly grab a lot of attention with their characters and styling.
The cars in these pictures are of the flash-themed Kia Forte Koup, the Batman Optima, Cyrborg Forte hatchback, Aquaman Rio, and the Green Lantern Soul. Involved in creating these cars are big names such as RIDES, West Coast Customs, and Super Street. To get a better look at the cars, check out our gallery located at the bottom of this post.


As we're preparing a book based on the theory, application, challenges and practice of what we do here with Cinemagogue (hoping to inspire more replication, transformation, edification and even evangelism) I tried to choose some timeless sample reviews for a chapter on praxis. This led to inclusion of my wife Kathryn's favorite film, Amadeus.
Seriously, this film is not only a great period piece and compelling drama, but one of the most revealing films about how pride, covetousness, and self-worship may be any person's undoing, with amazing acting talent by F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, and Elizabeth Berridge.
The incredible story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is told in flashback by Antonio Salieri, a man now confined to an insane asylum claiming that he murdered Mozart. A priest comes to hear his confession and a tale of unbridled jealousy unfolds, the viewer ushered into a fictionalized account of this historical character whose legacy has carried on throughout generations.
Despite a prominent position, wealth, and luxurious living that very select few enjoyed in his generation, Antonio Salieri is discontent. He sees the foolish, immoral fop named Mozart gifted with a talent far beyond his, and curses God that he will never be as talented or remembered as a man he feels is artistically his superior but far less deserving in character.
To be fair, Salieri isn't wrong about "Wolfie", as his wife calls him; Mozart is crude, rude, self-absorbed, pompous and acts the buffoon because he's positive his artistic prowess lets him get away with it. He's the pre-Iron Man Tony Stark of his era. He doesn't "deserve" the amazing gifts he's been given. Still, we see the unquenchable covetousness rise in his rival, who thus proves he's no better. Salieri uses his position, deception, and the mask of friendship to frustrate and inhibit Mozart wherever he can. He even seeks to steal Mozart's final requiem and use it at the man's own funeral, claiming it as his own. Although destitute, sick and desperately in need of rest, Mozart is pushed to compose and create by Salieri to the point of death. However, his plans to appropriate the man's last great work do not succeed.
Salieri doesn't want eternal life with his Creator, he wants to be "immortalized" in the minds of men. The idea that his glories will fade makes him bitter, and the notion that the works of an irresponsible, flippant fop like Amadeus will linger longer in the hearts of men burns in his chest like hellfire. He is furious and unforgiving to the creator for the hand he's been dealt in this life under the sun.
The lament of this lesser composer hearkens back to the outcry in Ecclesiastes 6:8: "For what advantage has the wise man over the fool?" Though of course, Salieri's rejection of God makes him just as much the fool.
We see men with gifts and talents, position and power abuse them throughout the course of scripture. King David commits murder, Solomon worships the idols of his wives, Abraham practically pimps out his wife to the Pharoah, and Noah throws a "me-party" after surviving the flood by getting plastered. We see God's blessings often favor the foolish, the unworthy, and (like the son who DIDN'T go prodigal) sometimes we balk at what God pours out on them. Our own season of faithfulness then becomes our pride, sprouting as a root of bitterness that entangles us like a weed choking out our hearts.
There is no heart change for Salieri, and his rejection of God marks his mockish countenance up until the film's acrimonious end. It's a cautionary tale that says viewer: beware.
Do we find ourselves jealous of friends, celebrities, or other family members? Why?
Why does God give talent and favor to the faithless, the atheist, the scoffer?
What should our response be when others have more fame, fortune or glory?
Given the change, what would we say to Salieri that the priest did not?


A rusty tricycle makes an interesting conversation piece.
Reclaimed barn doors make a statement.
Stained glass windows are a great find.
Deconstruction Inc. is a bit like a shelter for vintage treasures just waiting to go to good homes. Mark Raszewski, the owner of the salvage resale business, believes in life after demolition.
"There are too many old beautiful buildings coming down and so many materials going to waste all the time," he says.
Deconstruction Inc. is kind of a relic itself. Less than a year ago, Raszewski, who has been collecting reclaimed wood for several years, took over the established "by appointment only" business. "The owner immediately recognized I shared her passion for vintage materials and thought I'd be the perfect person to carry on her life's work," says Raszewski. He started regular hours at the warehouse this spring.
Homeowners and builders browse the shop for materials to aid in restoring old homes and vintage items for decorating new ones.
Hundreds of doors line the walls, barn wood — weathered, but in good shape — fills the yard, and ornate lighting fixtures hang in a loft. All materials for sale in the warehouse have been reclaimed right here in Wisconsin.

This eye-catching plant is native to Burma (not Persia as the name may leave you to believe). With striking purple leaves which has an almost iridescent sheen. This plant is a winner. Natural to tropical climates the Persian Shield also does well in cooler climates and is a popular houseplant as it tends to bloom in winter. The Persian Shield likes bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its vivid colour, but if outside prefer some shade during the hottest part of the day. As it prefers a humid climate misting will also help keep the leaves in top condition. Keep the soil moist and water when the top layer of soil dries.

/**
    Purpose
    -------
    ZGETRI computes the inverse of a matrix using the LU factorization
    computed by ZGETRF. This method inverts U and then computes inv(A) by
    solving the system inv(A)*L = inv(U) for inv(A).

    Note that it is generally both faster and more accurate to use ZGESV,
    or ZGETRF and ZGETRS, to solve the system AX = B, rather than inverting
    the matrix and multiplying to form X = inv(A)*B. Only in special
    instances should an explicit inverse be computed with this routine.

    Arguments
    ---------
    @param[in]
    n       INTEGER
            The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

    @param[in,out]
    dA      COMPLEX_16 array on the GPU, dimension (LDDA,N)
            On entry, the factors L and U from the factorization
            A = P*L*U as computed by ZGETRF_GPU.
            On exit, if INFO = 0, the inverse of the original matrix A.

    @param[in]
    ldda    INTEGER
            The leading dimension of the array A.  LDDA >= max(1,N).

    @param[in]
    ipiv    INTEGER array, dimension (N)
            The pivot indices from ZGETRF; for 1 <= i <= N, row i of the
            matrix was interchanged with row IPIV(i).

    @param[out]
    dwork   (workspace) COMPLEX_16 array on the GPU, dimension (MAX(1,LWORK))

    @param[in]
    lwork   INTEGER
            The dimension of the array DWORK.  LWORK >= N*NB, where NB is
            the optimal blocksize returned by magma_get_zgetri_nb(n).
    \n
            Unlike LAPACK, this version does not currently support a
            workspace query, because the workspace is on the GPU.

    @param[out]
    info    INTEGER
      -     = 0:  successful exit
      -     < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
      -     > 0:  if INFO = i, U(i,i) is exactly zero; the matrix is
                  singular and its cannot be computed.

Christmas in Schoharie on December 3
November 16, 2022 /in December, Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association/by MVM
Location: Old Stone Fort Museum, 145 Fort Rd, Schoharie, NY 12157
Organizer: Old Stone Fort Museum & Schoharie County Historical Society
December | Schoharie Colonial Heritage Association
Enjoy baking all day at the Old Stone Fort Museum on December 3rd and see the bake oven in action from 10am - 3pm
Who's ready for Christmas?? This event will help you get into the holiday spirit and maybe you'll even get some Christmas shopping done! There will be a visit from Sinterklaas along with plenty baking and cooking demos.
The Old Stone Fort was built as a High Dutch (German) Reformed church in 1772.
It was the third building erected by the congregation of the Palatine German settlement of Fuchs Dorf (Fox Town). Builders chiseled parishioners' names into the stones. They include many of the early families of the valley.
Through the Civil War and until 1873 it was used as a militia/National Guard armory. Then the state turned it over to Schoharie County for preservation. In 1889, the Schoharie County Historical Society was chartered to operate a museum at the old fort and by 1899 a catalog of 2,500 items was published.
For the past 125 years, visitors have learned about the first Dutch and German settlers in the Schoharie Valley and their Indian neighbors, viewing artifacts that date back to the early 1700s — including a fire engine built before George Washington was born! Stories of the Revolutionary War on the frontier are illustrated with muskets, swords, powder horns, and even the British cannonball that was recovered from a roof beam during renovations in the 1830s. A double-barreled rifle attributed to legendary marksman Timothy Murphy who served here and remained after the war is a highlight. A Civil War Sesquicentennial Exhibit was installed in 2011 recognizing the soldiers from Schoharie County that served from Fort Sumter (literally!) to Appomattox.

Details and info
Klinkhart Hall
Klinkhart Hall Arts Center is pleased to announce the 6th annual Sharon Springs Poetry Festival, live and in-person and with another brilliant line-up of poets!
Jennifer Grotz, Joyce Carol Oates, and Terrance Hayes will join Festival founder Paul Muldoon on Friday & Saturday, October 14 & 15, 2022.
On Friday night, October 14, at 7:30 PM each of our guest poets Joyce Carol Oates, Jennifer Grotz, and Terrance Hayes will present a public reading in the auditorium of the Sharon Springs Central School. Afterward, you'll be able to meet the poets in the lobby, purchase a copy of one of their books — which they will gladly sign — and meet your fellow poetry lovers. This event is free and open to the public.
As always, the Sharon Springs Poetry Festival includes one very special event that is not open to the public . . .
Paul Muldoon and the three guest poets will conduct poetry workshops for students in local area schools. Sharon Springs Central School will host and coordinate the event, and this year's student participants will be from Sharon Springs, Cobleskill-Richmondville, Cooperstown, and Canajoharie.
Why are such well-known and accomplished poets willing to do this? Because, like us, they know it is important. Like us, they believe that the arts are essential and that they contribute in direct and tangible ways to the well-being of diverse and democratic societies. What better way to show our commitment to these lofty ideals than to support the work and enthusiasm of our students & teachers?

"Muldoon's Picnic" — A Literature & Music Extravaganza!
Details and tickets
Klinkhart Hall Arts Center presents . . . "Muldoon's Picnic"
Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 7:30 PM
Sharon Springs Central School Auditorium
Sharon Springs, NY
Tickets $20 per person, online or at the door (subject to availability)
"OK, it's not actually a picnic but a music & literature extravaganza"
Time Out New York
Named after a popular New York vaudeville act and an Irish-American knockabout farce from the 1880s, Muldoon's Picnic is an entertainment devised, developed, and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary at the Irish Arts Center in New York City, the Picnic has also toured widely in Ireland, most recently in August 2022. It will arrive in Sharon Springs NY on Saturday, September 10, 2022, before returning to take up residence in New York.
Billed as a mixum-gatherum of poetry, prose, and music, Muldoon's Picnic has featured appearances by hundreds of artists. In addition to the "house band" Rogue Oliphant, the Sharon Springs Picnic will feature renowned musicians Richard Thompson and Zara Phillips along with poet Patricia Smith and, of course, poet Paul Muldoon himself.

Paul Ebeltoft's program on diversity issues has received approval by the Human Resource Certification Institute for credit toward renewing PHR or SPHR certification. The approval is not an endorsement by the Institute of the quality of the program. However, it does mean that the program has met the Institute's criteria to be pre-approved for recertification credit based on the content submitted.
First given to the Southwest Area Human Resources Association, Paul's diversity program walks participants through the genesis of the modern diversity movement. He outlines differences between diversity as a legal concept and diversity as a societal phenomenon or a business objective. Reviewing the primary statutes that prohibit discrimination by employers and government agencies based upon certain characteristics of diversity, Paul concludes the program by challenging the audience to consider new aspects of diversity and how to "sell" the benefits of diversity in their workplace.

Supermarkets catering to the vulnerable
With the lockdown measures in place and millions in self-isolation, supermarkets are seeing a surge in demand for home delivery services. Many supermarkets are racing to fill customers demands, many paying special attention to those who need it the most. Read which supermarkets are involved in this cause
UK supermarkets are racing to increase capacity as the demand for home delivery services soars amid the pandemic
All UK supermarkets are prioritizing home delivery slots for those who are vulnerable, mainly the elderly, disabled, immunocompromised and self-isolating. Many of them have also introduced special in-store shopping hours dedicated to essential workers.
Home delivery services are set to increase by hundreds of thousands in the coming weeks, meaning shoppers will have an easier time securing an online food order.
The surge in demand following the outbreak in the UK has forced grocers to restrict supermarket delivery slots. Limits on the number of items customers can buy have also been introduced to ensure stocks are available for everyone
Here are some supermarkets that offer delivery services
Asda is among the UK supermarkets to launch a Volunteer Shopping Card. The card makes it easier for people to shop for those who are self-isolating, older or medically vulnerable.
Delivery slots are being prioritized for the most vulnerable. Asda has emailed those customers in England to offer them first access.
The grocer said it is working on similar programmes in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Morrisons is currently operating a queuing system on its website to access its online shopping service. However, it warned that it has no available home delivery slots due to the surge in demand.
"We are doing everything we can to increase the number of delivery slots and capacity we can accommodate," the supermarket has said.
Like other supermarkets, Sainsbury's is prioritising deliveries for elderly, disabled and vulnerable customers. Over the past two weeks, it has booked more than 320,000 deliveries for people in this group.
The grocer is aiming to increase its capacity to 600,000 supermarket delivery and click and collect slots by the end of next week.
Last week, Sainsbury's announced it is trialing a bike delivery system from closed convenience stores in London.
The Chop Chop service is available for customers living within 3km of the Blackfriar's local store. Shoppers can order home delivery for up to 20 essential items at a time.
Sainsbury's could roll the service out to other cities if it proves popular with locals.
A Sainsbury's spokesperson said: "We know there's still work to do, and we've recognised the need for the government to help us prioritise the most vulnerable. That's why going forward, they will identify customers who they consider the most vulnerable, and we'll give those people priority access to home delivery slots."
Tesco has already identified and contacted 75,000 vulnerable customers from a list provided by the government. These vulnerable groups will have priority access to and can book a supermarket delivery from 6 April.
The supermarket has increased its home delivery and click and collect capacity to around 805,000 slots. That compares to 660,000 two weeks ago.
Tesco said it has plans to add hundreds of thousands of slots in the coming weeks.
However, it has asked shoppers who can visit its stores to do so. That will allow it to keep home delivery slots free for the vulnerable.
Online supermarket Ocado has closed to new customers following an unprecedented surge in demand.
The company is prioritizing customers that have been identified as vulnerable. Existing customers who do not fall into that category could find it difficult to get a home delivery slot.
The company advises individuals who are shopping online to book a delivery slot before filling up your basket to ensure there is availability in their area, and to complete their order in one session as slots and services are limited

North Carolina Governor Blocks 2020 GOP Convention
Editors — June 3, 2020 in NEWS • comments off
With the Coronavirus Pandemic still rapidly spreading in America, several states are maintaining restrictions on large events where social distancing would be impossible. More than 1.8 million COVID-19 infections have been confirmed in the U.S., with 107,648 deaths as of Wednesday morning. The planned August GOP Convention in North Carolina has now been canceled due to pandemic concerns, with President Trump blasting the Democratic Governor for blocking the event.
President Unhappy with Governor Decision
The President announced on Tuesday that his party would look for another state to hold the convention. The Commander in Chief didn't hold anything back when criticizing North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.
He said in a Twitter post that the convention "Would have showcased beautiful North Carolina to the World, and brought in hundreds of millions of dollars, and jobs, for the state."
The GOP wanted to hold a fully booked convention without any scaling down, despite the Federal government's recommendation that public gatherings be limited during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Cooper wrote in a letter to Republican leaders that "The people of North Carolina do not know what the status of COVID-19 will be in August, so planning for a scaled-down convention with fewer people, social distancing and face coverings is a necessity."
It appears that the Governor would have been flexible if the GOP would have scaled down its plans, rather than moving ahead with a 50,000 person convention with full capacity restaurants, bars, and hotels in support of it.
Republicans had expected that they might have difficulty in North Carolina. Party officials have already been scouting for other locations, with Nashville and Las Vegas reportedly being on a shortlist. Both cities have expressed interest in hosting the convention.
Event Would Have Been a Huge Boost to Local Economy
America is beginning to reopen, with states relaxing some of the restrictions that were implemented at the peak of the health crisis. This latest development is interesting because it shows that some state leaders are unwilling to take risks on large gatherings, even if they would provide important economic stimulus during a time when unemployment has hit a record high.
The convention was months in the planning. Organizers had intended to implement safety measures, including daily temperature checks and frequent sanitization of facilities.
Governor Cooper is being consistent with rules that his state has established during the pandemic, but it's difficult not to imagine that there is some political motivation underlying the decision.
