Stevenson: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
4. Chapter 1 – Utterson and Enfield (pp. 6-7)
In this module, we go through the middle part of the first chapter of the novel – as Mr Utterson and Mr Enfield take their usual Sunday walk round the streets of London. In particular, we think about: (i) the description of the "sinister" house; (ii) Stevenson's precision with time and place ("Two doors from one corner, on the left hand going east …"); and (iii) the fact it is Mr Enfield telling the story, not the narrator.
In this course, Professor John McRae (University of Nottingham) explores Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. In the first two modules, we provide a broad introduction to the social, historical, cultural context of the novel, focusing in particular on Stevenson's life and career, his literary and cultural influences, and his own influence on later writers. In the seventeen modules that follow, we read through the novel chapter-by-chapter, providing close reading and analysis, including commentary on themes and motifs, the structure of the novel, its multiple narrators and narratives, significant objects (keys, doors, hands, mirrors, etc.), literary influences (Shakespeare, Marlowe, James Hogg, etc.), intellectual influences (Darwin, Nietzsche, Freud), important elements from Stevenson's own life – and much, much more.
Note: Page numbers in these lectures refers to the Penguin Classics edition of the novel ('The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Other Tales of Terror', ed. Robert Mighall). Students using a different version of the novel may encounter slight differences in page numbering.

Letter: Police chief says we should defend ourselves
T. Jeske
How interesting. The police chief of Washington, D.C., said in an interview that residents should take action, including shooting, if they find themselves in the midst of a terror attack.
Wow! I'm impressed. Someone in actual police authority believes that we citizens have a right to defend ourselves!
Hopefully, no one told Obama, his administration, Michael Bloomberg or the liberal movement in America. All of them feel we do not have the right to defend ourselves against any and all threats to our safety, our lives or the lives of our families
— T. Jeske, Queen Creek


Find information for jurors in this county.
Length of Service Jury service in Alamance County operates on the one-day / one-trial system. A new group of jurors are summoned each day of the week and, if selected to serve on a jury, a juror will serve for that day or for the duration of that trial. However, if a person is not selected for a trial, then their jury service will be over after that one day. If chosen for a jury trial that is completed before the end of the day, those jurors will return to the jury assembly area and may then be selected for service on another case. If not selected again, those jurors will be allowed to go home at the end of the day, having completed their jury service. Those jurors selected for a trial that takes several days will need to be present each day while the trial is in progress.
When and Where to Report Each juror receives a jury summons by U.S mail. On the back of that summons is information on the time and place to report for jury service. In addition, there is a telephone number listed for the jury line.
Jurors must call the number for the jury line anytime after 6:00 p.m. on the evening before the service date shown on their summons. A recorded message will inform jurors if their appearance will be required. This message will play the entire night until normal opening hours the following morning. Sometimes the court is able to release some or all jurors when the need for them is less than anticipated.

Jailed former Abiodun aide didn't bring any investor to Ogun – Official
December 4, 2022 Hakeem Adegbenro News 0
The Ogun state government has refuted claims that a former Senior Special Assistant to the governor, Bidemi Rufai, brought in a business investor to the state during his short stint as the governor's aide.
The state government also debunked the report that Rufai, who was convicted of fraud in the United States of America and since been serving jail term was being paid $2,000 as an aide to the governor.
An online news medium had reported that Governor Abiodun was paying $50,000 to Rufai each time he introduced people to him, along with monthly salary of $2,000.
In a statement signed by the chief press secretary to Governor Abiodun, Kunle Somorin, it noted that Rufai, who was appointed by the governor as his senior special assistant on Housing, never had any close relationship with the governor, prior to his appointment.
Somorin said Rufai, like other aides of the governor, was recommended from his ward for the appointment, and not because of any special favour he offered to the governor during his gubernatorial campaigns in 2019.
The statement further faulted and denied the claims by the online medium that Rufai was being paid $2,000 salary, which according to it is "outrageous and baseless."
Somorin stated further that salaries and wages of political office holders are fixed by the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, adding that no member of the government is permitted to any other allowances not known to law.
Somorin added that records in the state never showed that Rufai, while serving in the state, brought a single investor or facilitated any investment from the United States of America and wondered how the former political aide would be paid $50,000 for a deal that never took place.
"Bidemi Rufai was appointed as a senior special assistant to the governor on Housing, and was nominated for appointment barely three months before he was arrested.
"He had not resumed formerly and had no official office to transact business. He wasn't part of the Ogun State Economic Management Team and have got no input into the state government activities. His appointment was based on his activities in his ward. He didn't sit in the state Executive Council meetings and couldn't have had inputs in policies of the state government.
"The governor had no deal with Rufai on any transaction. He brought not a single one. They can check with the US embassy," the statement added.

At least eleven persons were feared trapped in a building that collapsed at Okpuno, in the Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Our correspondent gathered that the incident happened on Wednesday night.
According to a source, some of the persons trapped are masons from Ghana and Togo.
When our correspondent visited the scene, rescue workers and security agents were seen at work.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the story, stating that it happened on Wednesday.
He said nine out of the trapped persons were rescued alive while rescue workers were working to rescue the others still trapped.
He said, "A distress call was received from the vigilance group in Okpuno that a three-storey building belonging to one Mr Avoyi Collins collapsed at Okpuno Otolo in Nnewi LGA of Anambra State.
"Police Patrol teams led by the Area Commander Nnewi, Nnanna Ama, rushed to the scene and cordoned off the Area to prevent looters from taking advantage of the situation to steal.
"Volunteers were also mobilised for the rescue of trapped victims including 11 foreign masons from the Republic of Togo.
"So far, nine of them were rescued alive from the collapsed building while efforts are ongoing to rescue two others who are still trapped.
"The rescued victims were rushed to the Community Health Centre Okpuno for medical attention and investigation is ongoing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident".

Norman St. Clair Carter was born in Melbourne, Victoria, in 1875. He studied at the Melbourne National Gallery School and under Phillips Fox and was apprenticed to a stained-glass maker. For 28 years from 1903 he lectured in architecture and history of art at Sydney University, N.S.W. His 'Low-toned Harmony' won a bronze medal at the Paris Salon in 1913. He became well-known for portrait-painting, design of stained-glass, was a pioneer of mural painting in N.S.W. and a foundation member of the Australian Academy of Art. He died in Sydney in 1963.
Source: Research Catalogue Heading, State Library of NSW.
Fortified with coffee and lunch, JA and I arrived at the State Library of NSW and were directed to the Special Collections area where we submitted our request for the box they held on Norman Carter (call number ML MSS. 471).
After a short wait, we received microfilms and a hard copy diary. I tackled the microfilm, JA the diary.
The microfilmed letters include correspondence to and from fellow Australian artists and art promoters such as Rupert Bunny, Hans Heysen, Emmanuel Phillips Fox, Margaret Preston, Lloyd Rees, Napier Waller, Douglas Dundas, G. W. Lambert, Sydney Ure Smith, and Hugh McCrae (one-time artist turned poet) spanning a period from 28 Feb. 1902 – 31 Jan. 1961. He was corresponding with these people as colleagues, friends and equals.
One of the microfilms contains notes Norman Carter prepared for an autobiography. Bingo! . . . or so I thought. Like many before him, he started out hand-writing, had some pages typed up, and then went over and over perfecting what he had written, focusing on certain times and events that were top of mind, never reaching the end, never completing the story, and omitting large slabs along the way. There was nothing written for our years of interest, which was very early in his career.
Other records include lectures, speeches and various miscellaneous textual items. Among other achievements, he became Senior Vice President of the Society of Artists. He was also a prolific stained glass window artist. If you were intending to write a biography of Norman Carter there is plenty of material there, including a window into his hopes, ambitions, frustrations and feelings on a range of subjects about his art, art societies, teaching and educational institutions.
Over to JA, who was painstakingly turning each page of the diaries and deciphering the hand-writing. This diary entry captured our attention, not because it was talking about Study in Brown, but the word "orphanage" leapt off the page at us.
Who was Emily? A "resident" in an orphanage, or a relation to Mr Enes? We still don't know, but here we had evidence of a fascination with capturing the image of a young girl, and that at this stage of his career, he wasn't dealing with the "establishment" (as is common in his later portraits).
Move forward to 1903, and Carter relocates to Sydney. At the beginning of 1908 he set up a painting studio and began to take in students. Is it possible that Study in Brown was the product of these lessons? And that Carter, building on his earlier fascination with capturing the image of a young girl, and still in such an early stage of his career, hired Lucy as his sitter? No doubt she came cheap.
Lucy came from a poor family. There is no father on her (1895) birth certificate, but I have established he was John Creft, who died in 1907, seemingly by that time estranged from the family, as it is a stranger – perhaps a landlady – who provides the death certificate details. Creft was given a cut-price funeral and is buried in a common (pauper's) grave. Lucy, her older sister, and her mother were in very straightened circumstances. Modelling for painters would have been one way for a schoolgirl to earn money.
How would Norman Carter have met Lucy? There is no evidence she was in an orphanage, nor any evidence he was scouring them for potential sitters. But Norman Carter did illustrate for the Sydney Mail at times, and Lucy's elder sister was seeing a man who sometimes wrote articles for the Sydney Mail. A very long bow to pull – but – possible???
Also in the back of our minds was that JA's grandmother, while not remembering the name of the artist, had said, "he was not one of our majors".
To this day I remain puzzled why Norman Carter's name seems to have slipped from our artistic heritage, while most of his contemporaries have held their place. His name is linked, not only with those above, but also Dattilo-Rubbo, Max Meldrum and Florence Rodway. He held an appointment with the Royal Art Society of New South Wales until 1916. Yet even on their history page, while they mention most of those named in this post, there is no mention of Norman Carter.
A painter who was "not a major", who wanted to paint a young girl, and who had ways of finding a willing and suitable model. A young girl who needed money and had a potential introduction through someone known to the family. Tempting, tempting.
Not conclusive proof that Lucy Creft was the sitter for "Study in Brown".

I love the statement of the painter regarding the model -'How shall I be able to do her justice'.
I wonder how often the painter feels like this?
As he progressed, he became strong in his belief about getting to know his subjects in order to portray them well. A little bit like that 'Anh Doh' programme on TV.
Still waiting. Did not have time to comment on the 'Reveal' last post, but I think the painting, the pose,and the model combine for a wonderful work of art.
I keep a print of it on my cork-board in my study so I can see her while I type. Naturally I'm very attached to it.
Interesting that he didn't think it was a good depiction of his work and wanted the art gallery to swap it for another of his works. I wonder what would have happened to "Study in Brown" then?
You could write a book on this mystery alone.
I've been trying to weave the painting into the current manuscript. With the way these posts are working out, I'm even wondering whether I should include part of them in the epilogue.
Hey – it just might work!
STILL IN THE DARK EH?!
And unlike my Liz Thurlow series of a few years back, I intend to finish this one.
I should have stayed away a little longer methinks!
Would you have read it all in one go? I thought I'd lose my audience if I attempted that.
Yes I would have, it got me in very quickly.
I'm so glad to hear that! All the same, I will continue in this vein, now I have started out that way.


headed off to the Mediterranean with her girlfriends. Read on about her travels during a much-needed and very relaxing vacation.
Going on vacation with your gal pals is about more than just having fun. It's a prescription for happiness. Research shows that bonding with your girlfriends is an integral part of women's health, and it can affect many aspects of your life. This trip was long overdue and much awaited – Turkey and Greece have always been dream destinations for the girls and me. The perfect weather (pre-spring) meant it was the right time to travel, so off we went – Kiran, Aruna, Shanthi, Vineetha and me.
First stop on our list was Turkey where, after landing, we were met by a car that took us to our hotel, the MDC Cave featuring rooms akin to caves. Cappadocia is famous for its hot air balloons and cave-like living structures, some actual caves that have been dug out into living spaces. On our first day, we took the northern tour covering the Göreme Open Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that serves as a monastery. It consists of many structures standing beside one another, and each monastery has a church inside. Every single one was fascinating. We saw frescoes in the cave churches, decorated with scenes of the Old and New Testaments dating back to the 10th century. Other sights we saw on the tour included Urgup's chimneys, Devrent's rock formations, and Monk's Valley. The following day featured a tour of southern Cappadocia, where we saw the Kaymakli underground city. At 3,500 years old, the place is astounding on many levels (literally). One of the biggest underground cities of Cappadocia, Kaymakli has a total of eight levels that even include stables and wineries.
We flew out of Cappadocia and on to Izmir, where we spent a night at the Orty Airport Hotel. The following morning, we drove to Kusadasi, where we checked into the Louis Cruise and sailed off to Athens and the Greek islands of Patmos, Heraklion, Santorini and Mykonos.
In Patmos, we visited the Monastery of St. John the Evangelist. In Heraklion, it was the Minoan Palace. Santorini was something else, what with the stunning views, spectacular sunsets, open-air cafés, and the Oia Village perched on the Caldera Rim. The monuments of Athens must be seen with one's own eyes – the Parthenon is particularly popular and steeped in history. Our last stop was Mykonos, known for its windmills, waterfront cafés and nightlife. It was beyond beautiful.
Our trip ended where it began, in Turkey. From Kusadasi, we flew to Istanbul and stayed at the Novotel, centrally located with easy access to local attractions and tourist spots. Some of the more popular ones are Sultan Ahmed Mosque, also called the Blue Mosque because of its turquoise tiles; the Hagia Sophia, where the architecture is a unique blend of Christian and Islamic styles; and the Topkapi and Dolmabahçe Palaces with harems and jewels taking one back to an age of imperialism, war and invasion. Don't miss the Galata Tower, a watchtower that was used to guard against enemy attacks. The Bosphorus Cruise on the river that divides the European and Asian sides of the city was lovely, and the riverfront is speckled with cafés and restaurants featuring a variety of gastronomic fare. The food is mostly non-vegetarian, served with breads and salads.
This article would be incomplete without talk of the Grand Bazaar, a fascinating plethora of shops with Turkish goods and specialties. Be careful to check for quality when you shop here, and do your best to bargain and bring the price down. Turkey is famous for lace, carpets, lanterns and many more wonderful things. Also worth a mention is the Istanbul nightlife, another aspect of the city that you simply must experience.


Natalia Vikhlyantseva, 19, advanced to the final of the Al Habtoor Tennis Challenge on Friday past Lesley Kerkhove, while Hsieh Su-wei defeated Mona Barthel.
DUBAI // Russian teenager Natalia Vikhlyantseva will take on former top-25 player Hsieh Su-wei in the final of the Al Habtoor Tennis Challenge at the Habtoor Grand Resort on Saturday, hoping to win her second ITF $100,000 (Dh367,000) title inside three months.
Vikhlyantseva, 19, brought Dutch qualifier Lesley Kerkhove's dream run to an end with a 6-1, 7-6 (7/5) win in the first of the two semi-finals on Friday, while Hsieh, who had climbed to a career-best No 23 in the WTA rankings in 2013, fought back to down another former top-25, Germany's Mona Barthel, 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the other semi-final. Hsieh fought all the way back from down a set and 5-2 in the second set.
Winner of the ITF $100,000 tournament in Saint Petersburg in September, where she defeated Donna Vekic in the final, Vikhlyantseva has made a rapid rise up the rankings, climbing from her mid-April No 280 to No 148. Winning the Al Habtoor title will help her gain 150 crucial ranking points as well.
Hsieh, of course, will be equally determined to get those 150 points as she charts her comeback after spending most of 2016 on the sideline due to injuries.


Barcode verification examines scanability and the quality of the barcode in comparison to industry standards and specifications. Barcode verifiers are primarily used by businesses that print and use barcodes. Any trading partner in the supply chain can test barcode quality. It is important to verify a barcode to ensure that any reader in the supply chain can successfully interpret a bar code with a low error rate. Retailers levy large penalties for non-compliant barcodes. These chargebacks can reduce a manufacturer's revenue by 2% to 10%.
Depending on the parameter, each ANSI test is graded from 0.0 to 4.0 (F to A), or given a pass or fail mark. Each grade is determined by analyzing the scan reflectance profile (SRP), an analog graph of a single scan line across the entire symbol. The lowest of the 8 grades is the scan grade and the overall ISO symbol grade is the average of the individual scan grades. For most applications a 2.5 (C) is the minimum acceptable symbol grade.
Compared with a reader, a verifier measures a barcode's optical characteristics to international and industry standards. The measurement must be repeatable and consistent. Doing so requires constant conditions such as distance, illumination angle, sensor angle and verifieraperture. Based on the verification results, the production process can be adjusted to print higher quality barcodes that will scan down the supply chain.

As Phillips Academy's inaugural CIO, Falls helped lead the effort to establish the Andover Investment Office — the first of its kind for a traditional independent secondary school. Since establishing that office in 2005, the endowment has generated top quartile results in each of the past four years (2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010). In 2010, Falls was chosen as a Rising Star of Foundations and Endowments by the publishers of Institutional Investor and praised for her ability "to find smaller managers that others miss." Last year Falls and her team were nominated for Middle Market Endowment manager of the year.
Prior to Falls' tenure as chief investment officer at Phillips Academy, Falls was a managing director and the global fixed income strategist for Morgan Stanley, where she was a member of the Fixed Income Management Committee and the firm's Global Asset Allocation Committee.

SuBo is undoubtedly the biggest act to come out of BGT in the past nine years,despite never actually winning the show. Going from a rocky start to absolutely wowing the judges at her audition, Susan has gone on to become one of the most well-known singers in the world.
Historian Dan Snow and space archaeologist Dr Sarah Parcak follow the search for evidence that could be the furthest known point in Viking civilisation.
Over half of the top 40 TV shows of 2015 aired on BBC One, according to research compiled by the Press Association from the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (Barb).
Despite an increase in viewers over the year, Channel 4 does not make the list, as BBC One fills 27 spots, and ITV takes the remaining 13 places.
Strictly Come Dancing appeared 13 times in the list, making it the most consistently viewed show so far this year.
Top Gear was "an accident waiting to happen", said Lorraine Heggessey, who told the audience enjoying her RTS London Christmas Lecture that she would have dealt with the programme's presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, more quickly.
"Jeremy is a bit like a spoiled toddler," she said. He had "crossed the line several times with quite racist remarks and got away with it", added the former BBC and TalkbackThames executive.
During his four decades working in the television industry, Holloway has worked with some of the biggest and the best in the world of entertainment.
After leaving school at the age of 16, Holloway rose from stage assistant to be the man responsible for bringing shows such as The X Factor and All Star Family Fortunes to our screens.
Here are four of the best TV moments the entertainment guru had a hand in.


July 12, 2018, 5:00 p.m.
This is the first in a series from YouGov's Affluent Perspective that compares and contrasts affluent and non-affluent Americans. While there certainly is one obvious difference – the size of their wallets – the affluent and non-affluent have a great deal in common.
Both affluent Americans – those who live in households with an income of more than $150,000 – and non-affluent Americans describe themselves as honest, intelligent, friendly, loyal and independent. It's worth pointing out though that while both groups say they are intelligent, the affluent do so at a greater rate.
And what about their values? They share the same top three: freedom, stability, and friendship. They also share in common what they value the least: power, authority, and social status – values many associate with the wealthy.
Affluent and non-affluent American's also share similar concerns about the world. The majority are worried about the future of their children, the healthcare system, the quality of education, the security of their personal information, and gun control.
While 90% of the non-affluent grew up in households that were middle class or lower, 53% aspire to a higher economic status. What's more, the majority (94%) admire affluent people who have come from modest backgrounds, which the majority of affluent (72%) have.
And what about the so-called "American Dream"? Whatever their interpretation might be, non-affluent Americans are more likely to believe that it's alive and well – 67% compared to 57% of the affluent.
Despite these similarities and aspirations, 46% of non-affluent Americans say that "people like me don't have a chance to make it into the upper class." Our next release will take a closer look as at the obstacles that non-affluent Americans face when trying to move up the ladder.

Opinion: Remembering a friendship with Terry Teachout
By Scott Simon • Jan 15, 2022
Terry Teachout once worked as a bank teller in Kansas City, and I think he used to enjoy dropping that fact into conversation with theater folks. It was a way to say, "I am a theater critic. But really, I'm the audience."
"I still think Jell-O salads are vegetables," Terry told me once as, in fact, we ate veggie burgers before a play.

Alfredo Antonio Trujillo and his twin sister, Aylin Yolanda, were born just a few minutes apart, on different days, in different months, in different years.
Alfred Antonio was born at 11:45 pm, Dec. 31, 2021, at the Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, Calif. Fifteen minutes later, Aylin Yolanda was delivered just after the stroke of midnight, last Saturday morning, Jan. 1, 2022.
Their mother, Fatima Madrigal, told KABC in Los Angeles she feels doubly blessed.

How film has shaped the American image of democracy
In NPR's 50th anniversary year, one of the ways we celebrated was through stories - under the banner We Hold These Truths. How have Americans learned about democracy? Well, lots of our notions and beliefs first flickered before us at the movies.
Opinion: A Christmas guest has much to say
SCOTT SIMON: We all start work on this show when it's still dark, and this Christmas morning I looked into the sky. I saw a trail, and heard a clatter of hooves, and a string of ho-ho-ho's. That sleigh in the sky should be approaching the west coast now. So I figured, why not try this number I have?

Opinion: Albrecht Dürer's lesson for all of us today
I saw a picture this week that arrested my attention.
It's a drawing in old, dark ink of woman with curly hair, in a loose gown with a baby balanced in her lap. He is also curly-haired, and the ringlets make his little head look almost like an aura of the sun. The child stands on two plump, tiny legs, and the mother tucks him against her right arm, steadying his bottom with her left hand.
The curly-haired woman smiles. Not as if she doesn't have a care in the world, but as if all she really cares about in this world is the child in her arms.

Jane Oates agrees that automation and technology have always led to disruptions in the workforce. The difference this time, she said, is the pace of that change. Oates is the President of WorkingNation, a national nonprofit focused on what it calls the looming unemployment crisis. She said people need to understand that every sector is changing and those who aren't willing to make changes to become lifelong learners are going to be left behind.

Chew on this: Immigration Gumball
This YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7WJeqxuOfQ ) which has been viewed by 3.1 million people, features Roy Beck, executive director of Numbers USA, graphically illustrating what the Census Bureau says will happen by the middle of the next century if the U.S. refuses to change its current immigration policy.
The U.S. population has doubled since 1970, largely as a result of letting in one million foreigners annually. If immigration continues at today's rate, Beck says, our population will quadruple and every community in America will have to grapple with the same problems now facing California, where "an entire elementary school has to be built every day in perpetuity to keep up with demand."
Beck uses gumballs to show that even if that happens, the effect on worldwide poverty will still be negligible. "There are many ways America can help the Third World," he says, "but immigration is not one of them."

Photo exhibition under this title took place between June 12 and July 31 2007 in the Fine Arts Gallery of Uzbekistan. It comprised a number of cultural projects organized by the embassies of some EU countries in Uzbekistan, with financial support from the British Council. Everything started with a contest, the winner of which, a well-known Uzbek photographer Shavkat Boltaev, got an opportunity to make a trip around Europe. The exhibition in Tashkent is the first in the series of prospective expositions under the project.
The exhibition title is self-explanatory. Traveling around Europe, Boltaev recorded the most typical moments in the life of Europeans with his camera lenses. Over 25 days of travel through nine countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Poland, Germany, Latvia, Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium) the photographer made about 2,000 shots. One hundred of them were presented at the exhibition. The author visited rural areas, small villages and big cities. His pictures reflect contemporary lifestyle of all social segments in the European countries.
One of the most important tasks of the European embassies, in the cultural plane, is to give an idea of how people live in the countries that are members of the European Union. Naturally, Germany prides itself upon Bach and Goethe. France has Moliere and Hugo; Great Britain has Turner and Shakespeare; Italy - Leonardo da Vinci and Puccini… The perception of Uzbekistan cannot be limited to the Great Silk Road alone. Italy is not only the Leaning Tower of Pisa; neither is Great Britain a Big Ben. France does not only have Tour d'Eiffel, and Germany is something more than Neuschwanstein castle.
Besides, it was important to know the opinion about Europe of someone with a detached eye. Europeans believe that they can tell the difference between Europeans better and are proud of it, yet our purpose was to have a non-European find Europe's common denominator in order to determine what they have in common and what makes them different from people living in other countries. For this reason we abandoned the idea of asking Europeans to send us photos by E-mail. It was decided that the pictures should be taken by a representative from Uzbekistan. Due to his ideas of what to look for in Europe, Boltaev was chosen among Uzbek photographers who participated in the project. The choice was also guided by the quality of photographs he published earlier. His new pictures are the evidence of his professionalism as photo artist, and we were happy to work together with him.
Boltaev's pictures demonstrate that the EU in not only a political alliance, but also a cultural space with traditions of different nations. The pictures show not only manifestations of cultural diversity that exists in Europe where people speak different languages, have different lifestyles and different historical roots; they also prove that the representatives of EU countries share similar fundamental values. Thus, the project has confirmed that in addition to economic and political borders there is also a kind of uniting force that makes the European Union one whole entity.
At first it seemed that to realize the idea of sending a photographer on a trip around Europe with a task to return with his own impressions would be easy. The reality, however, proved much more complicated than it was anticipated. The primary issue was financing that was provided by the British Council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany. Then it was necessary to deal with organizational matters: Who is going? Where? When?... And how to get from A to B?... And so on. All these issues, fortunately, were resolved.
'I would also call the "Europe Seen by the Man from Uzbekistan" Project "Rapprochement"; firstly, because the countries of Europe are uniting, and secondly, because it is also our country coming closer to Europe. When, based on the results of the contest, they announced that I was chosen to implement the project, I began to search for a concept to dwell upon. For me it was important to show the fact that the nations of Europe are coming closer, creating the European Union.
As early as in school I was fascinated by the history and culture of European nations and preoccupied with the question of how developed European countries such as Germany, UK, France, Italy and Belgium could coexist with former socialist countries. In the course of implementing the project I realized that these powerful states want to unite with the new EU members and help each other become stronger and consolidate. This aspiration is evident everywhere.
The most important thing I understood is that all people want to live in peace and do good things; they want to communicate with people of other countries. They respect history, culture and religion of their own, as well as of the other nations. People from many countries of the world live side by side with Europeans.

Alabama Governor's Advisor Resigns After He Confessed He Made 'Inappropriate' Remarks to Her
Filed to:alabama
A top aide to Alabama Governor Robert Bentley has resigned, in the midst of a deeply embarrassing sex scandal. Bentley is accused of committing taxpayer-backed adultery with Rebekah Caldwell Mason, who was until Wednesday one of his closest advisors. A state representative says he'll seek to have the governor impeached over the alleged affair, which Bentley still denies took place.
Bentley, who's served as governor since 2011, was married for 50 years. His wife filed for divorce recently, amid increasingly loud gossip about the governor's alleged affair with Mason. Last week, Bentley denied the affair but did admit to making sexually charged remarks to Mason, for which he is sorry. Mason, too, denied that the two had a "physical affair."
Shortly after those denials, an anonymous source leaked our brother site Gawker some audio of a conversation between Bentley and Mason, in which the governor tells his aide he loves her and also enjoys caressing her breasts.
Today, Mason publicly resigned, the Associated Press reports, issuing a statement that said only that she plans to spend more time with her family:
Rebekah Caldwell Mason announced her resignation in a statement sent by the governor's office, saying she would no longer be his senior political adviser and would no longer be paid by his campaign fund.
"My only plans are to focus my full attention on my precious children and my husband who I love dearly," she said.
Mason's husband recently posted on Facebook saying that he has "resolved the personal issue playing out for everyone this week."
Meanwhile, State Representative Ed Henry said today that he is beginning the process to attempt to impeach the governor. Henry told local news station WHNT that Bentley was no longer fit to serve, in his opinion, based on "incompetence and moral turpitude."

HOW TO PLAN THE PERFECT BABY SHOWER!
Planning a baby shower can be really time consuming and very stressful, but It doesn't have to be! A baby shower is meant to be a happy day to celebrate a new life, also it should be a happy day for the mom to be! Here are some tips to help you plan the perfect baby shower for your best friend or your sister. There is some basic steps you can follow to make it just perfect!
If you are gathering with some of your friends for the baby shower, you need to decide where it is going to be and who will be the host. Usually the host it is someone really close to the mom to be , it can be her sister , her mother or her best friend, pretty much anyone who wants to celebrate her pregnancy.
Knowing who's going to attend the baby shower and how much you want to spend on food, games or baby shower decorations will give you a good start for the planning. You don't have to spend more than you want if you stick to your budget.
You can save a lot of money DIY some decorations. Get some baby shower ideas and get inspired checking my Baby shower inspiration Pinterest board.
Follow Maria Palito's board Baby Shower Ideas on Pinterest.
is it a boy or a girl?: is it a gender reveal baby shower? depending on your general idea for the baby shower you can plan the party theme. You should always ask the expectant mother if she has any preferences in regards to the baby shower theme. Also consider the venue or the place where you are going to make the party. is it indoor? is it outdoor?
you can always keep it simple and have the traditional baby shower with blue or pink colors and the "It's a Boy" or "It's a Girl" theme.
Ask the guest of honor when is more convenient for her to assist the baby shower. Most baby showers are held when the mom to be is about 6-7 months pregnant. That's a good and safe time for her pregnancy and she is probably comfortable to assist. Start planning your baby shower 3 weeks before the date so you can send the invitations at least 2 weeks before the designated date.
5. Send the Baby shower invitations.
Send the baby shower invitations at least 2 weeks before the party. For a casual shower, an email invitation is perfectly fine. If you're hosting a more formal shower, go with a paper invitation.
6. Choose a menu and pick up favors.
A parting gift is a simple way to thank your guests for attending your baby shower, it doesn't have to be big or expensive. Candy or homemade cookies are a great sweet little gift for your guests.

Our Collective
Last spring, a mutual friend invited us to his home for dinner, and we got to talking—about how Alex created educational curricula for urban development, and how Joel was a journalist who had moved into user experience and adult education—and we realized we both had one common goal:
To use our skills to make knowledge useful and fun.
From the discussions that followed over coffee, beer, and the occasional chocolate chip cookie, we decided to build a school where kids can make games to learn, then play games to share.
And RealityNext was born.

Alex Stolyarik
I've been implementing project-based experiential education internationally for the past seven years. In 2011, as a member of the Democracy and Art nonprofit, I originated a joint venture between the British "London Metropolitan University" MARCH and the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration; one year later a test program designed to engage graduate students with "real-world" land development projects was officially launched. In three years of program refinement, we managed to organically grow neighborhood development collectives, jump-start public workshops, moderate round table discussions, and graduate 80 students with dual degrees in Public Administration and Planning.
Joel Magalnick
I'm a journalist, writer, product designer, and educator. I've long believed in the idea that stories bring us together and make us stronger as a community. I founded my consultancy, The Refined Story, on the idea that I could help my clients better engage with their stakeholders through innovative digital products and content strategies. As a journalist, I spent more than a dozen years leading a Seattle-based news organization, where I made it my mission to inspire my audience while expanding my publications' reach.
I pay forward the knowledge I've gained over the years by teaching courses on writing and digital practices, so the idea that immersive story-making can change the way people learn blew my mind. I'm bringing my wife and two rambunctious boys along for the ride.

Jacob's Ladder: Finding Wonder in Life's Highs, Lows, and Middles Too
December 4, 2019 by Hebrew College
Jacob's Ladder: Finding Wonder in Life's Highs, Lows, and Middles Too December 4, 2019 Hebrew College
Parashat Vayeitzei (Genesis 28:10-32:3)
A few summers ago, my family was camping in Franconia Notch in New Hampshire's White Mountains. We had spent many hours hiking up Cannon Mountain. As we reached the top, we climbed the lookout tower which enables one, on a clear day, to see for miles around into several states. Upon seeing the view, our youngest son shouted out in Yiddish (our family language), word by word, "Ikh! Ken! Zen! Di! Gantse! Velt!" "I! Can! See! The! Whole! World!"
I think of my then almost-four-year old's natural expression of wonder as being much like Jacob's exclamation in our Torah portion, when he awakens, awestruck after his dream of angels ascending and descending a ladder, and says (Gen. 28:17) "Ma nora hamakom hazeh! Ein zeh ki im beit Elohim, v'zeh sha'ar hashamayim!" "How awe-inspiring is this place! This is none other than a house of God, and that is the gate of heaven!" I don't always shout when I reach the top of a mountain, but this sentiment, this awe and wonder, is exactly why I like to drag myself, and sometimes my family, up mountains, when given the opportunity. One can sense God's presence anywhere and everywhere, but how can you not sense God's presence on a mountain top, when you feel like you're looking out over the whole world, and m'lo chol ha'arets k'vodo, the whole world is full of God's glory.
A mountain top, literally a peak experience, may be especially conducive to communing with the Divine, but where does that leave us when we're coming down off of that high? In the opposite situation, when we are feeling low, dealing with illness, setbacks, grief, stress, and estrangements, we may feel alienated from God or abandoned. Jacob's encounter with God in our parsha can also serve as a model for reconnecting with God when we are in trouble. Jacob is alone, cut off from his family, fearing for his life, without material possessions, sleeping in the desert with a rock for a pillow. Sometimes, like Jacob, we may encounter God when we least expect it, as expressed in Gen. 28:16: "Vayikatz Ya'akov mish'nato vayomer: 'Achein, yesh Adonai bamakom hazeh, v'anochi lo yadati.'" "Yaakov awoke from his sleep and said: 'Why, YHWH is in this place, and I, I did not know it!'" This rekindling of a relationship with the Divine when we need it most may pull us up from the depths, providing us a way out of our narrowest places.
If both our emotional peaks, and paradoxically, our nadirs, may lead us to connect with something greater than ourselves, what about the majority of the time when we're feeling middling? In Jon Levenson's chapter in "Jewish Spirituality from the Bible through the Middle Ages (edited by Hebrew College Rector Rabbi Art Green)," he sets up two contrasting Jewish ideas of spirituality which I think may guide us through the middle: the "settlement tradition" and the "Sinai tradition."
The settlement tradition is the quest, unfulfilled in the Torah, to reach and settle the land of Israel. This idea embodies striving for achievement, improvement, and enlightenment by trying to reach new territory. Even if and when one attains one's goal, one then needs to set one's sights farther. What Levenson calls the "Sinai tradition" or the "priestly tradition" is an enduring means of access to God, forged at Sinai, and kept up through daily rituals — sacrifices in Biblical times, and prayer, study, and mitzvot today — all ways of keeping the fires burning through repetition, constancy, and intimacy. This method of connection is less dramatic but more compatible with day-to-day life. Levenson says that both the distant objectives and the reachable routines are necessary, and that the two spiritual paths of pursuing long-term dreams and cultivating daily habits can complement and amplify each other. If we also view his two categories as a distinction between peak experiences and everyday ones, I would propose that Sinai itself —- the ultimate peak experience — belongs in both categories, as a symbol of intimate Divine-human relationship and of an experience, far-off in time and place, that we can aspire to and yearn to recapture.
The Mishna in Berachot 9:2 includes this instruction among blessings to be said upon viewing various wonders of the world: "[Upon seeing] mountains, hills, seas, rivers, and deserts, say, "Baruch oseih ma'asei v'reisheet." "Blessed is [the One] who makes the works of Creation." In medieval times, Rabbi Abraham ben Moses (Maimonides' son) advised seeking out these places, saying: "In order to serve God, one needs access to the enjoyment of the beauties of nature, such as the contemplation of flower-decorated meadows, majestic mountains, flowing rivers…for all these are essential to the spiritual development of even the holiest people."
May we have the opportunity to follow Rabbi Abraham ben Moses' advice to seek beauty in the natural world. And may connecting with the Divine through physical and emotional highs remind us of our ability to connect at unexpected times, when we are feeling especially low, or ensconced in the routines of our day-to-day existence. We can't always be on a mountain top — even the angels on Jacob's ladder have their ups and downs — but may the miracles of creation that we witness on the high vistas remind us of the everyday miracles that are always available to us, should we open our eyes to them.
Ken Richmond has been the Cantor of Temple Israel of Natick since 2006, and has also served since then as adjunct faculty in Hebrew College's cantorial program. He is currently using sabbatical time to study at Hebrew College's Rabbinical School.

Blessed by Illness
By: MEES, L.F.C.
The prevailing attitude in modern medicine is that illness should not exist. Consequently, millions of research dollars pour each year into medical science and technology in the hope of eradicating various sicknesses and diseases. Patients and doctors alike suffer the terrible consequences of this impossible quest for material perfection. Yet, there is an alternate view-that human beings and human evolution are great enough to include "illness" as an essential part of existence. In the first part of Blessed by Illness, the author traces the history of our changing concept of healing, f...

Vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters can feel like they're living in different worlds. Many vegans and vegetarians struggle to feel understood and respected in a meat-eating culture, where some of their most pressing concerns and cherished beliefs are invisible, and where they are often met with defensiveness when they try to talk about the issue. They can become frustrated and struggle to feel connected with meat eaters.

Iscador Mistletoe and Cancer Therapy
By: MURPHY, CHRISTINE
Publisher: United States, Lantern Books,US: 2001
In recent months, the plant-based cancer therapy Iscador has been gaining increased media attention. But Iscador has been known for its therapeutic benefits for over eighty years. As early as 1917, Rudolf Steiner suggested using injections of mistletoe extract for the treatment of cancer. His recommendations were taken up and put to clinical use by Ita Wegman, MD, a Dutch physician. Dr. Wegman, who founded a clinic that later became the Lukas clinic, also first developed Iscador in 1917. In this book, Christine Murphy gathers together some of the work of doctors and clinicians who have been us...
Vaccination Dilemma
In their first five years of life, children are expected to undergo 37 doses of eleven different vaccines, yet relatively few parents are aware of the risks of chronic disease, injury or death that some vaccines can present. A growing body of research has linked immunisation with autism, seizures, asthma, arthritis, Crohn's disease and even hyperactivity and learning disabilities; yet we continue to use vaccination as "insurance" even against diseases that no longer pose a significant threat. Christine Murphy has compiled a book that presents the vaccination dilemma from multiple perspectives....

A Consideration from an Anthroposophical Point of View
The reflections in this book by Peter Selg and Sergei Prokofieff on the soul-spiritual, ethical, and medical-therapeutic issues surrounding physician-assisted suicide (and suicide as such) will provoke one's thought, feeling, and volition. Its inspiration arises from both Rudolf Steiner and the Hippocratic Oath.
Peter Selg begins by showing how Rudolf Steiner views the principle of life as immanent spirit and the living medium of the "I," or individuality and as inviolable and wise beyond our understanding. It is t...

Mark Purdey's life changed one day in 1984 when a Ministry of Agriculture inspector told him he must administer a toxic organophosphate pesticide to his dairy herd.

Before they had a chance to prosecute, Purdey took the Ministry to court and won his case. These experiences led him to challenge the orthodox line on the origins of Mad Cow Disease and its human counterpart variant ...

Childhood Illnesses and Immunizations Anthroposophic Ideas to Ensure the Wellbeing of Our Children in This Digital Age
By: ROSS RENTEA , MARK KAMSLER AND ANDREA RENTEA
This book, a highly researched yet accessible body of work, explains how current influences, primarily immunizations, infiltrate the child's organism and make growing up more difficult. The book, however, then also offers many practical ways to overcome those hurdles. Supporting the health of the developing child with anthroposophic education and anthroposophic medicine will thus 'soften' the blow to the archetypical, desired development. The authors show dedication, integrity and clarity throughout the book."

The purpose of this study of remedies is to offer a living, imaginative picture of the metallic remedies of anthroposophic and homeopathic medicine. In contrast to chemical, agent-based medicine, anthroposophic remedies are based on a paradigm that focuses on processes and spiritual-evolutionary relationships.

</html>

I can't do any changes to my combo.php.
onChange event and the script should be in my main.php.
I have no idea how to do this, and I don't no whether this is even possible.
Any help regarding the matter would be highly appreciated.
Thanx.

A: You may use Jquery for this, for that you have to include this script,
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#getSelect").change(function() {
        alert($(this).val());
    });

});
</script>

where getSelect is id of select control.
after that add below php code.
<form>
      //some elements
      <select name="combo" id="getSelect" onChange="return getSelect(this.value)">
        <option value="1">America</option>
        <option value="2">England</option>
        <option value="3">India</option>
        <option value="4">Japan</option>
      </select>
      //some elements
   </form>

A: Add a javascript function like this :
function getValue(val) {
    alert(val);
}

And in your dropdown add this function on onChange Property like this
<select name="combo" onchange="getValue(this.value);">
    <option value="1">America</option>
    <option value="2">England</option>
    <option value="3">India</option>
    <option value="4">Japan</option>
</select>

When you change values of dropdown you should see the values in alert box.

A: If you can use jQuery, you just have to add some piece of code in your main.php
$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#idOfYourSelect").change(function(changeEvent) {
        alert("Your value : " + $(this).val());
    });

});

Assuming your <select> has at least an id idOfYourSelect (or a name, or a css classname - somthing that will allow you to retrieve it from the javascript code)
This will add a listener on the change event and run the callback at each time you change the value.
If you can't use jQuery, that will be a little more complicated, you have to play with browser differences, and use addEventLister or attachEvent to add your listener.
attachEvent documentation (for old IE)
addEventListener for Firefox, webkit, etc
I recommend you to use jQuery, which will handle all these differences for you.

A: Okay if you can't change that then if you use JQuery you can add like this
$('select[name*="combo"]').change(function() {
      var str = $('select[name*="combo"]').val();
      alert (str);

  });

Add this in $(document).ready(function)
