Morbio Superiore was a municipality in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland in the hills above Chiasso. It is located in the district of Mendrisio. On 25 October 2009 the municipalities of Bruzella, Cabbio, Caneggio, Morbio Superiore, Muggio and Sagno merged into the municipality of Breggia.

History

Morbio Superiore is first mentioned in 1116 as Morbio de Supra.  In the Middle Ages (first mentioned in 1299) the village was owned by Como Cathedral and the Benedictine monastery of S. Abbondio in Como.  The church of S. Vittore in Balerna also owned property in the village.  From 1591 until the 17th century, Morbio and Sagno were a vice parish under the mother church at Balerna.  In 1802 Morbio Superiore was a separate parish.

The parish church of S. Giovanni Evangelista was first mentioned in 1227.  In the 18th century it was totally rebuilt and then renovated in 1957.  The chapel of San Martino, originally an Early Middle Ages romanesque building stands on the site of what might be an Ostrogoth watchtower from the 6th century.  The Chapel of S. Anna is from the late Baroque period.

Formerly, the village was surrounded by vineyards, tobacco and mulberry cultivation, of which only the vineyards remain.  In the last decades of the 20th century, Morbio Superiore developed into a residential community. Since 1960, Lattecaldo has been the headquarters of the Cantonal Forestry School.  In 2000, four-fifths of the workforce worked outside the community.

I.O.C. To Seek Gender Equality
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JUNE 29, 2010
The International Olympic Committee, which was granted observer status by the United Nations last year, said it would press Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei to send female athletes to the 2012 Olympics for the first time. Anita DeFrantz, who heads the committee's women and sports commission, said that of the 205 national Olympic committees, only those three had never sent women athletes to the Games. She said that in 1984, only 23 percent of the athletes at the Games were women, but in 2008, it was 43 percent.

Nonprofit City Caf� opens in Manchester
A cup of coffee might make your morning better, but a few entrepreneurs in Manchester would like to see that caffeine impact the local community, too. The nonprofit café City Café opened in early April across from the Verizon Wireless Arena with one goal in mind.
"The whole mission of the café is to just give back to the community," City Café Outreach Coordinator Rhiannon Pochopin said. "The only people that, when the profits start coming in, are going to benefit are the community of Manchester and even the world, essentially."
When a customer purchases a cup of coffee, the proceeds from that sale go straight back into the community through a donation to a different organization, nonprofit or community effort each month. It also helps global efforts by supporting fairtrade and organic coffee growers.
"We were real choosy about where we got our coffee," General Manager Elizabeth Leone said. "There's nice organic places [that] still don't value their workers. Our growers, they educate their families, their kids' families, they give them beautiful housing to live in. It's much better than other farms you'll see. So, when we say global impact, we really think that we are making it."
The café's coffee is roasted at A&E Roastery in Amherst. Its house blend, a Mexican Sumatra, originates in Brazil, and each quarter City Café will also highlight an "origin coffee." Right now, that coffee is from Bolivia.
"We wanted to focus on the coffee," Leone said. "We do a very traditional model of all of our drinks. Our macchiato comes in a little 4-ounce espresso cup, because that's the traditional European way."
Fresh baked pastries from Bread & Chocolate in Concord fill the shelves, along with assorted house sandwiches (like Sante Fe chicken, Italian and chicken salad).
"The veggie [sandwich] flies off the shelf. It has brie and it has hummus and sprouts, and they're so yummy. Our turkey clubs fly off, too," Leone said. "We wanted something that was good quality. When we say Bread & Chocolate to people, people know the name. Our sandwiches come on made-fresh bread and our pastries come warm."
The café is owned by Grace Capital Church, a local church community with services in Pembroke, Laconia and Manchester. It's not exactly a church business opportunity, but more like a ministry.
"We're not a church café," Leone clarified.
"Grace Capital Church owns the business, officially speaking, but they're not making a penny off of this," Pochopin said. "I work closely with the head pastor at Grace Capital Church [to determine where to give back]. ... There's so many people and organizations that we can give to."
City Café will host monthly events to benefit the charity or organization of the month. In April, proceeds were donated to A Woven Thread, an organization based in Nashua that works with refugee women by creating scarves, necklaces and bracelets from organic silk.
The baristas are trained, but chances are the cashier behind the counter is a volunteer. Other volunteers clean, photograph monthly events and even offer a towel cleaning service.
"From my perspective, people I deal with outside of the café, it's been only amazing responses," Pochopin said. "We get people who want to volunteer, whether it's their time or to help our mission. … A lot of people are not only saying, 'Wow, this is a great thing,' but saying, 'Wow, this a great thing, how can we help?' And that's huge. … I've noticed we've become an outlet for some of those people."

You're probably familiar with app stores—in fact, there's a very good chance you've downloaded an application from one at some point.
But did you know that app stores can actually be a hazard to your business? They can—in the form of shadow IT.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to prevent app stores and shadow IT from wreaking havoc in your company. But before I explain how to prevent app-store shadow IT, let me first explain how app stores work and the real problems they cause.
What are app stores and how do they work?
There are different types of app stores. The most common include stores like Google Play and the iTunes App Store, which are fundamentally centered around a mobile experience. They easily allow you to buy cloud applications on your credit card, which can be expensed if you're using them for company purposes.
These stores are a great way for people to try new technology and get free apps that connect to approved apps their company might be using (such as a video conferencing service that offers a free app for tablets); however, you can never really know the quality of the applications you get from these stores.
There are also telephone companies and other providers producing app stores now that are specifically for businesses. These providers supply (or try to supply) a curated portfolio of apps, that include either recommended apps or apps that are integrated into an offer that you can buy through their store. The problem with these app stores is that you generally end up with a nonintegrated experience, despite their best efforts.
How do app stores create shadow IT?
Obviously, these app stores promote the "try and buy" concept. You can say, "We really need a CRM solution," then immediately download the first one you find that looks like it may have potential.
From an enterprise IT perspective, this becomes very difficult to manage. It allows people to buy applications without having an underlying strategy to support their choices, meaning they won't think about the actual deployment, training, or management of the solution until it needs to be implemented. This creates an IT project that is doomed from the start.
This "click and buy" mentality can end up promoting bad behavior within IT procurement, and can leave you with silos of different functionality—you'll have different vendors, different support services, different invoices, and more. And once you have all of that, you have a shadow IT scenario.
What other problems do app stores cause?
Difficult IT management isn't the only problem that stems from app stores. Another issue is that when you download from an app store, you're never entirely sure what you're getting, because their offers are often unclear.
You don't know who's going to support the service if something goes wrong, where the bill will come from, or where you can get expert advice. If you do contact the vendor, you may even end up dealing with someone who knows nothing about the application at the core level.
IT solutions require ongoing support and installation configuration, which means they're a much more complex purchase than simply picking from a list of apps in an app store.
Something else to think about with app stores is that while transformations are happening in the consumption of IT—and app stores are feeding that—they aren't really adding value to the process.
Individual users are getting to choose what IT solutions they use through the power of smartphones and mobile devices. Department heads are saying they can no longer wait for IT staff to fulfill their needs, so they find solutions of their own. And uninformed purchasers are jumping into apps stores without really thinking things through. Although these people can quickly find what they think is a good solution, the app store isn't actually delivering what the end customer needs to make an informed decision for their business.
So with app stores, there is very little upside, and a lot of potential downside.
Downloading IT solutions through an app store is like buying a vehicle from a car dealership that doesn't have salespeople. You have a multitude of vehicles with different makes, models, ages, and purposes, but you're left to decide on your own which car would be best for you.
You may have questions about a vehicle's gas mileage or when it's due for its next oil change, but there's no one there to give you information. So you're left to pick a car based on the fact that it looks like a decent choice, and you're responsible for determining how to get the car out of the lot, who's going to service it, and how to get it insured—all by yourself.
The purpose of a car salesman (no matter how annoying you think they are) is to help you navigate through the thousands of options and variations in the car market—otherwise we would all buy our cars online. We don't generally do that, and there's a reason why.
Obviously, there's a need to improve the way IT services are procured and consumed, and app stores are evidence of that—but they aren't necessarily the best solution for businesses. While you can't stop all employees from downloading applications from an app store, you can encourage them to think before they do.
What happens if something goes wrong with the app?
Who will service the app?
Where will my data reside within the app?
If employees can't find answers to these questions, tell them it's best to steer clear of the app. Promote these questions in meetings, on bulletin boards, and around the office. By creating awareness of app stores and the problems they cause, you can prevent a potential shadow IT scenario while still encouraging innovation throughout your company.


Koho Kurihara will present a Japanese calligraphy demonstration, accompanied by live guitar (Marius Kozlowski). Photo courtesy of the Dunedin Fine Art Center.
Two Japanese women share their interpretation of tradition and contemporary art in a special performance exhibition.
In a fitting crossover of the work of two Japanese women artists, history and modernity take two different forms that combine traditional Japanese techniques and contemporary elements of experimentation and expression.
Ai Kawamura will present a Japanese brush painting demonstration, accompanied by a recording of traditional Japanese music.
Calligraphy master Koho Kurihara's work takes the form of sweeping and staccato full-body movements, using Japanese calligraphic techniques that have been passed down for centuries in her large-scale works, her body moving as a calculated extension of the brush she uses—her experimental dance-like performances seem to bring history into the here-and-now. Her performances are full of energy and allude to the Fluxus movement, though her final works of art are as meaningful and visually pleasing as watching the artist dance them into creation.
One can see in Ai Kawamura's finished work the influence she feels from Georgia O'Keeffe's work, her up-close floral imagery resting in conjunction with oxidized silver foil, a part of her interpretation of the Japanese Rinpa tradition. A possible homage to the extremely long history of the Rinpa art form, alive since the 17th century, Kawamura's oxidized silver is representative of the passage of time. Like Kurihara, Karamura uses traditional Japanese brushes and inks, although contrastingly on a smaller and more delicate scale. Both women's work is often created whilst accompanied by live music, heightening the traditional elements that live in their art.
This is both artists' first time performing in the United States, and luckily there are a couple of opportunities to catch the performances. Safety Harbor-based artist Noriko Kuehn arranged the event and organizes cultural exchanges between Japan and U.S.
The first performance takes place at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art, Tuesday, March 19, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. for $7. leeparattner.org.
The second performance will take place on Thursday, March 21, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center for $10. The DFAC's Palm Café will be open for food and beverage purchase during the event. dfac.org.

Q: How paper strips get electrified? Why paper strips get electrified when we iron them? I have learned that when two insulators are rubbed then they gets electrified but in case of ironing a paper the iron is a conductor. Will rubbing a conductor with an insulator electrifies an insulator or both? Will the paper gets ionised due to heat and emits electrons into the atmosphere?

A: The effect is due to polarization separation; since the paper is not a conductor, it has many bound charges at the surface.  You can polarize little bits of paper by simply rubbing them; then they stick to your hair, clothes, etc.
Ionization is not required.

A: When you iron bits of paper, you are giving external energy in the form of heat to its atoms and it absorbs this energy, this phenomenon releases free ions which are loosely attached to its atom. This phenomenon is known as Ionization.

Disappointing Tamil films of 2017
December 29, 2017 January 3, 2018 Gopinath 0
2017 has been kind to most of the movie buffs thanks to some splendid works by debutants and new actors who, together, redefined Tamil cinema. But, as always, there was also a fair share of films which didn't give that bang for that buck. Incidentally, I also found such films to be as high as the good ones. So here are some of the films I consider to be the ones that managed to disappoint me immensely.
PS: Of course there were terrible films such as Mangalapuram and Yaar Ivan, I'm sticking to films which had known and bankable stars who are known for delivering decent films. Also, kindly note that these films are in the order in which they released this year.
Muthuramalingam
One of those films which I seriously expected to be a spoof. But the film was serious throughout the whole time but those who watched this were serious for different reasons. As someone who grew up seeing Napoleon films, Muthuramalingam was even more disappointing.
Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva
Yet another hero stepping into the shoes of a cop. But that wasn't a problem at all. Unbelievably naive dialogues, an illogical hero, a heroine that defines the term arm-candy and a plot that's as old as the hills, Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva is a film that shouldn't have been made.
Mindless comedies test our patience at times, but nothing came even close to this one. I knew that GV was going deep into this zone thanks to his previous slew of films such as Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru and Enakku Innoru Per Irukku. But Bruce Lee was the cherry on top of the cake. Fortunately, his line up of films looks so better that people are now eagerly waiting for some.
Saravanan Irukka Bayamaen
If there weren't enough horror comedy films this year… Saravanan Irukka Bayamaen offered nothing new apart from the pleasant Yembuttu Irukkuthu Aasai track. The comedy too wasn't chuckle-worthy and the audience left the theatre wondering who the actual comedy piece was.
Bongu
Bongu was a textbook example of how an idea might sound great but can become a colossal mess when the execution goes wrong. Those like me who expected a Sathuranga Vettai-isque film were sheerly disappointed thanks to the fact that this film had nothing to offer in the first place.
Sathriyan
It just gets on my nerves when a brilliant title of a yesteryear blockbuster is reused on a film which isn't even its remake. Unfortunately, Sathriyan too felt like a yesteryear movie as the film – based on a gangster's life – said the same things almost all such films have preached for decades.
Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan
This film probably doesn't need a caption I suppose. I'm sure some of you might not agree with me on some of the films that are here but I'm sure that Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan is a film everyone knew was going to make it to this list.
Podhuvaga En Manasu Thangam
When will we ever get past the typical jobless boy-next-door goes head-on with a village head only to end up loving his daughter? Podhuvaga En Manasu Thangam was yet another film that belonged to the previous decade. Fortunately, despite having two bad films this year, Udhay managed to end it decently with Ippadai Vellum.
Kathanayagan
And there are some films that make me wonder why there's no committee which foresees a film and decides whether they should give the title they've asked for or not. Even a cameo from Vijay Sethupathi couldn't save Kathanayagan which tried to ride on the comedy entertainer wave which has since fortunately subdued.
Aayirathil Iruvar
Probably the only film in this list that didn't disappoint me because of hopes I had on the actor. I actually had my bets on director Saran – the man behind some of Ajith's biggest hits. It's hard to digest the fact that he is reduced to such movies. Aayirathil Iruvar too made it out after being on cold storage for a long time as it tried to piggyback on the Vinay starrer Thupparivaalan that released a few days before this dud, to positive reviews.
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Tamil cinema is yet to make an enjoyable adult comedy film. Hara Hara Mahadevaki, obviously, wasn't one of them and nor was it a film 'that paved way' for more such films. It was a film that believed the genre can be justified with double meaning comedies and sexual innuendoes and obviously – didn't 'excite' us.
It's so obvious when a sequel comes out of the blue trying to captivate on the success of the original. Chennaiyil Oru Naal 2 was plagued with multiple issues and the most obvious one was the fact that the film was based in Coimbatore. Read the film's title again and you'll know why this film made it to the list.
Kadaisi Bench Karthi
I think I can confidently say that Kadaisi Bench Karthi was THE worst film I saw this year with a bankable star in it. Ironically, it was a bilingual. A lot can be said about this film but I'm refraining from doing so. All I can say is that I watched this film first day first show and it made me want to kill at least one person who thinks reviewing films for a living is a walk in the park.
Indrajith
Action adventure genre is rarely tried in Tamil cinema and the Indiana Jones style promos lured me into this tedious journey which is nothing short of a dangerous adventure on its own. It must've been a mixed year for Gautham Karthik as out of five releases he had in 2017, three are on this list and the other two (Rangoon and Ivan Thanthiran) are actually some of my favourites this year. Talk about irony!
Annadurai
Some films give us a feel as to why this actor do this film while his films have been consistently decent. Annadurai gave me that vibe, as it felt like a film that doesn't really had to be made. It's a pity that Vijay Antony's first double action film in which he also debuted as an editor went completely unnoticed.
Kodiveeran
Yet another rural script that failed to hit the bulls-eye, but what makes Kodiveeran get on this list is the fact that both the actor and the director are known for their rural scripts. The film is a reminder of why both actors and filmmakers should experiment with different genres and not get stereotyped.
Brahma.com
Fantasy films are always a risky move in a market like ours and Brahma.com proved it once again. Irrespective of how good the concept is, packaging it in an entertaining way is even more important and the makers of this film failed there. Nakul is an underrated actor who could do much if the right script falls into his hands in my opinion. Hoping to see him in better films.
Sakka Podu Podu Raja
The transition from a comedian to an actor is challenging. But what happens when you try to skip that and aim to become an action hero overnight is the moral of Sakka Podu Podu Raja. Apart from a decent debut by Simbu as a music director, this film offered nothing new. Interestingly, the story is eerily similar to that of Dhanush's Uthamaputhiran, but still didn't find a fan in me.

Top 10 Titles for Q1 2007
For launch, I'm definitely excited about Resistance. And there are one or two other PS3 titles that I'm keeping my eye on. But overall, the PS3 launch lineup is still a little light (PS2 is having a great season though!).
But looking to next quarter: wow! There is a lot of really good content right around the corner. Here are my personal top picks for Q1 2007 in alphabetical order:
Burnout 5
Lair
MotorStorm
Virtua Fighter 5
I've known about all these titles, but is anyone else surprised to hear so much scheduled so soon? To be honest, despite the fact that these are all listed for Q1 2007 releases on IGN, game companies are notorious for missing these dates. I'll be happy if three or four of these games actually ship in Q1 which is probably a more reasonable and likely outcome.
There are also a lot of other titles that I left off the top 10. Some games like Alone in the Dark and Strangehold and Eye Of Judgement are hard to judge: they look like they might turn out to be amazing and they might completely miss the mark.
Anyway, if you aren't able to get a PS3 until after the new year, this is one less reason to worry about it.
What does everyone think of the Q1 lineup? I left off a lot of titles; anyone have different picks?
