Trecate (Trecà in piemontese, Tracaa in lombardo) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia di Novara in Piemonte. È situato circa 9 km a est del capoluogo, e il suo territorio comunale è bagnato dal fiume Ticino che ne segna il confine orientale con la Lombardia. La città è un centro ad economia essenzialmente industriale. Buoni redditi provengono ancora dall'agricoltura (riso, mais, foraggio) e dall'allevamento.

Storia

Età romana
Non vi sono testimonianze concrete di insediamenti sul territorio di Trecate nel periodo preistorico. A partire dal IX secolo a.C., lungo il corso superiore del Ticino, si sviluppò la Cultura di Golasecca.

Il nome deriva da un luogo situato nel punto dove il fiume Ticino esce dal lago Maggiore. Il fiume era certamente la via di comunicazione preferita dai golasecchiani, sia verso l'attuale Svizzera lungo il lago Maggiore, sia verso il Po. Quindi, probabilmente, anche la sponda trecatese venne frequentata dagli antichi abitanti, almeno in modo occasionale, non essendo state trovate indicazioni relative a scali stabili, in grado di mettere in comunicazione i transiti che avvenivano via fiume con quelli della terraferma. Anche le invasioni celtiche del IV secolo a.C. e le successive vicende non hanno lasciato traccia sul territorio trecatese, sicuramente interessato da insediamenti, come la Lomellina o il paese limitrofo di Romentino, luoghi in cui furono invece rinvenute abbondanti testimonianze archeologiche. Oggetti risalenti a questo periodo sono comunque visibili presso il Museo Archeologico di Novara nella sezione dei Civici Musei che conserva ed espone, in modo chiaro e semplice, ciò che è stato trovato sull'intero territorio novarese.

Più numerose sono le testimonianze di età romana. La colonizzazione si attuò con gradualità sul territorio a nord del fiume Po a partire dal I secolo a.C. Il primo legame ufficiale del territorio novarese con Roma è individuabile nella legge dell'89 a.C. Con questa legge alle province dei territori padani veniva, infatti, riconosciuto il diritto latino, che permetteva ai centri celtici insediati su queste terre una certa autonomia amministrativa. Ai centri più importanti venne inoltre concesso un territorio circostante e a Novara si pensa fossero assegnate le terre della valle del Ticino e del Sesia. Nel 42 d.C. Novara divenne un "municipium", cessando perciò di essere considerata provincia, e si organizzò come centro zona dotandosi di edifici pubblici e di una precisa organizzazione urbanistica.

Da Trecate, in epoca romana, passava la via delle Gallie, strada romana consolare fatta costruire da Augusto per collegare la Pianura Padana con la Gallia.

La dominazione franca
Alla dissoluzione dell'Impero Romano, Trecate come insediamento unitario e definito non esisteva ancora. La prima citazione storica di Trecate si ebbe nell'840 quando il vescovo di Novara Adalgiso citò il luogo di "Tercade" a proposito di alcuni diritti di decima. L'organizzazione religiosa si era infatti diffusa nel Novarese parallelamente a quella civile e militare. Furono i Franchi a suddividere il territorio in unità politico-amministrative, il cui controllo venne affidato a comandanti militari investiti del titolo di "conte". Le unità furono dette "comitati". I comitati franchi in territorio novarese furono quelli dell'Ossola, Lomello, Stazzona, Pombia e di Burgaria (collocato sulla riva sinistra del Ticino), a cui appartenevano anche i territori ora occupati da Trecate. L'appartenenza di Trecate al Contado di Burgaria è documentata nel testamento dell'imperatrice Anghelberga, vedova di Ludovico II. Nell'877 Anghelberga donava infatti ad un convento di Piacenza la corte di Trecate, posta nel Contado di Burgaria.
Nell'840, dunque, Trecate era un villaggio ormai costituito. Quando si formò questo villaggio e dove fosse situato non può essere stabilito con precisione. Alcuni indicano il primitivo nucleo collocato nei pressi della chiesa di Sant'Ambrogio, ora scomparsa, eretta nella seconda metà del V secolo o nella prima metà del VI. Altri, invece, sostengono che il primo borgo di Trecate fosse sito attorno alla chiesa di San Cassiano, costruita in un'area cimiteriale, come attestano le necropoli di età romana rinvenute in territorio adiacente, datate al Il e IV secolo d.C. Anche questa chiesa è oggi scomparsa, come quella dedicata a San Michele, santo a cui erano particolarmente devoti i Longobardi. La chiesa di San Michele era ubicata nell'area dell'attuale villa Cicogna, verso via Galileo Ferraris: qui doveva forse essersi stabilito un gruppo di famiglie longobarde, detto "fara". La "fara" era probabilmente stata posta a guardia del porto sul Ticino, in prossimità della consolare Novara-Milano.

L'età comunale - I Visconti e gli Sforza
Nel 1154 Trecate era un villaggio munito di castello posto sotto la giurisdizione di Milano: era però ancora più simile ad un agglomerato di fabbricati rurali che non ad un paese. La posizione geografica del villaggio, in prossimità di importanti vie di comunicazione e del transito sul Ticino, determinò nel corso dei secoli il suo continuo passaggio dall'una all'altra area di influenza dei Comuni più potenti, in queste terre rappresentati dal Comune di Novara - già documentato come autonomo nel 1116 - e da quello di Milano. Trecate fu continuamente oggetto di contese e teatro di guerre: forse proprio questo impedì una sua rapida crescita e un maggiore sviluppo economico. A questi motivi particolari se ne aggiungono altri, di ordine più generale. Nel corso del X secolo e ancor più dell'XI, infatti, le necessità della difesa contro le incursioni degli Ungari e degli Arabi determinarono il fenomeno dell'incastellamento. Mentre i feudatari si chiusero nei castelli, le città ricostruirono le loro mura e molti abitanti della campagna si rifugiarono in esse. L'addensamento degli abitanti nelle città determinò lo sviluppo dell'economia cittadina, mettendo in moto un meccanismo di crescita sempre più rapida e richiamando all'interno un numero sempre maggiore di persone. La vita cittadina ebbe il centro nel mercato, a cui convergevano prodotti di regioni differenti e i prodotti dell'artigianato urbano. Il nuovo modo di vivere che si organizzò dentro le città portò alla nascita del Comune, con ordinamenti e leggi che tutti dovevano rispettare. I Comuni furono spesso in guerra fra loro e, proprio nel XII secolo, anche contro l'autorità imperiale rappresentata nel 1152 da Federico Barbarossa. Violento fu soprattutto lo scontro fra l'imperatore e il Comune di Milano, a cui Trecate era vincolata, scontro che si concluse, con vicende alterne, nel 1183 con la pace di Costanza, in base alla quale Trecate passò sotto il dominio del Comune di Novara. L'antica appartenenza del borgo al Comune di Milano, rese difficili i rapporti con i nuovi alleati, i Novaresi, per cui la "villa" di Trecate non ottenne mai dal comune di Novara il privilegio di trasformarsi in "borgo" e poter costruire delle mura di difesa. Gli affronti che i Trecatesi dovettero subire dai Novaresi furono probabilmente all'origine della devastazione e del saccheggio che essi operarono ai danni del palazzo comunale di Novara nel 1356, durante le guerre condotte da Novara - alleata di Milano - contro il Marchese del Monferrato che proprio in quell'anno aveva invaso il territorio del comune e parte della diocesi. Il cronista Pietro Azario dice che: "... da Galliate e da Trecate erano entrati [in Novara] molti villani...così Novara fu riempita di ladroni e mascalzoni che meditavano di far saccheggio..." Più che di far saccheggio, Galliatesi e Trecatesi avevano forse il desiderio di vendicare l'op-pressione che Novara esercitava su di loro. Infatti la loro ira ebbe, come oggetto, non i beni dei cittadini novaresi ma le carte del Comune: distrussero i banchi dei notai, buttarono nel pozzo del Broletto i registri nei quali erano conservati i diplomi di privilegio della città, cioè quei documenti che avevano fatto da supporto all'arroganza dei Novaresi. L'anarchia durò poco. Nel 1358 Trecate ritornò sotto il dominio di Novara, al termine della guerra con il Marchese del Monferrato che dovette restituire Novara e il Novarese ai Visconti. Il casato si estinse alla morte di Filippo Maria Visconti nel 1447. Egli, nel 1437, aveva ceduto la terra e il borgo di Trecate a Oldrado Lampugnano che ne era così diventato il feudatario. Con la fine dei Visconti e nel periodo di confusione politica che ne seguì, nel 1447, Trecate riuscì a staccarsi da Novara, e a sottrarsi al feudatario Lampugnano ponendosi sotto la protezione della Repubblica Ambrosiana, prima che quest'ultima fosse costretta a capitolare sotto le armi dello Sforza. Trecate divenne così libero Comune, con propri Statuti e poté godere di nuovi privilegi. Fra questi grande importanza ebbero la concessione del mercato settimanale, da tenersi in ciascun sabato, i diritti di proprietà e di uso delle acque della Roggia di Trecate derivata dall'Agogna e dal Terdoppio, i diritti sul porto di San Martino. Soprattutto, ai Trecatesi, venne riconosciuta la libertà amministrativa e giuridica nelle cause civili e criminali. La caduta della Repubblica Ambrosiana e la salita al potere di Francesco Sforza nel 1450, determinò un nuovo assetto del borgo di Trecate che, con Galliate e Cerano, fu uno dei primi centri ad arrendersi alla sua potenza e a cui consegnò il castello. In premio ricevette dallo Sforza la riconferma degli Statuti e la conferma dell'indipendenza dalla città di Novara ma dovette accettare il ritorno della famiglia feudataria dei Lampugnano che impose a Trecate il pagamento di un pesante tributo in denaro. Da questo momento la storia del borgo si confuse con quella degli altri centri del Ducato e, a partire dalla fine del secolo XV, con le vicende che interessarono l'intera Europa. Nel 1499 anche Trecate subì la dominazione dei Francesi e alla morte di Francesco II Sforza, avvenuta nel 1535, il borgo con il Novarese e tutto il Ducato di Milano passò sotto il dominio degli Spagnoli.

Trecate tra il 1535 e il 1800

La dominazione spagnola si protrasse fino al 1706 e in questo periodo Trecate continuò ad essere feudo dei Lampugnano. Con i trattati di pace di Utrecht e Rastadt il novarese - e quindi anche Trecate - passò dagli Spagnoli agli Austriaci e, durante questo periodo, nel borgo si assistette anche all'arrivo di un nuovo feudatario. Infatti nel 1700 era morto il Conte Carlo Francesco Maria Lampugnano lasciando in eredità la signoria di Trecate all'Ospedale Maggiore di Milano. L'Ospedale, nel 1732, pose in vendita la signoria, che venne acquistata dal marchese Giorgio Clerici per 175.000 ducati. In occasione dell'ingresso del nuovo feudatario nel borgo vennero organizzate feste grandiose che durarono cinque giorni. Il marchese Clerici trasformò il castello di Trecate in una "casa da nobile", dove trascorreva le vacanze e soggiornava durante le battute di caccia, organizzate nei suoi vasti possedimenti al Ticino. Alla sua morte Trecate e i suoi territori passarono in eredità al pronipote Antonio Giorgio, generale dell'esercito austriaco. Dopo la pace di Vienna il novarese fu annesso al Piemonte e il generale dovette chiedere al governo sabaudo la convalida del suo feudo. Il Duca di Savoia Carlo Emanuele III accolse la richiesta e, con una patente del 1756, concesse al generale l'investitura del feudo, con l'obbligo di versare 8.000 lire. Il feudo passò poi alla figlia Claudia Caterina, sposa del Conte Biglia di Milano. La contessa aveva infatti ottenuto, nel 1778, dal Duca di Savoia Vittorio Amedeo, l'investitura della signoria di Trecate e la corona baronale di Sozzago. Con la rivoluzione francese e la successiva calata di Napoleone in Italia venne a cessare la signoria di Claudia Caterina: pressata dalle gravose tasse, imposte dalle nuove autorità, vendette il feudo al conte Annoni per 40.000 lire in oro. Il conte lasciò il castello e i terreni ai nipoti conti Cicogna. Il castello è attualmente proprietà del Comune, che lo ricevette in donazione nel 1975.

L'Ottocento
Nei primi anni dell'Ottocento, Trecate - come gli altri paesi del Novarese - rientrò nella nuova organizzazione imposta da Napoleone, che aveva riordinato a livello pratico ed amministrativo i suoi possedimenti. La Repubblica Italiana venne divisa in dipartimenti ciascuno dei quali era a sua volta ripartito in distretti. La provincia di Novara venne denominata Dipartimento di Agogna e fu suddivisa in diciannove distretti. Trecate faceva parte di questo dipartimento e del distretto di Novara. I primi anni dell'Ottocento non furono facili per la popolazione trecatese poiché, a causa della calata delle truppe francesi, era costretta ad alloggiare i soldati e ad ospitare gli ufficiali in abitazioni private. Per le truppe la comunità doveva provvedere al vitto, al mantenimento dei cavalli e al trasporto delle merci al porto sul Ticino. Ad aggravare la situazione bande armate percorrevano le campagne commettendo ruberie di ogni genere. A partire dal 1814, con il ritorno dei Savoia, il paese fu coinvolto nelle vicende del Risorgimento. Con l'armistizio di Villafranca e la pace di Zurigo la Lombardia entrò nell'orbita sabauda accanto alla Toscana e all'Emilia che, con un plebiscito, votarono l'annessione al Piemonte. L'unione della Lombardia con il Piemonte fu causa di mutamenti profondi nella vita del paese di Trecate: dal momento che non era più una località di confine il posto di dogana fu abolito; la linea ferroviaria che negli anni precedenti terminava a Trecate fu collegata con il tratto costruito dagli Austriaci in Lombardia; il nuovo collegamento fece gradualmente scomparire il servizio di diligenze e la mancanza di viaggiatori costrinse alla chiusura molti alberghi della zona. Anche lo stesso paesaggio mutò aspetto: la brughiera incolta ed abbandonata presso la zona di confine venne lottizzata e trasformata in zona agricola

Il Novecento
In questo secolo si conclusero i processi storici e sociali iniziati nella seconda metà del secolo precedente e caratterizzato, da un punto di vista storico, dalle guerre d'indipendenza e, da un punto di vista economico, da una nuova organizzazione votata all'agricoltura. Fondamentale fu, infatti, per il territorio novarese, l'apertura dei grandi canali d'irrigazione quali il Cavour nel 1864 e il Quintino Sella nel 1874 a cui si affiancò, nel 1954, il Regina Elena. L'assetto moderno del territorio venne anche impresso dalle nuove arterie di comunicazione ferroviaria, che furono aperte fra il 1854 e il 1859, i cui effetti in Trecate sono già stati sottolineati nelle sezioni precedenti. Più tardo, del 1888, fu invece il collegamento con Domodossola e il Sempione. Trecate, perciò, come tutto il territorio novarese vicino al fiume Ticino, seguì il modello di sviluppo più diffuso, che vedeva nell'industrializzazione nuove possibilità economiche. Dapprima legata alla tessitura, l'economia trecatese trovò, intorno al 1950, nuovi elementi di attività nell'area chimica, anche grazie alla costruzione di un oleodotto proveniente da Novi Ligure.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Villa Cicogna
La villa si erge su un luogo particolarmente importante per Trecate perché, in antico, sulla stessa area si innalzava il castello di cui oggi non rimane traccia. Il ricordo dell'antica fortezza rimane nel toponimo di "castello" con cui si indica ancora Villa Cicogna.

La villa riassume le caratteristiche più significative degli edifici nobiliari settecenteschi improntati alla funzionalità ma, soprattutto, all'eleganza delle forme architettoniche e delle decorazioni. Questa "casa da nobile" è costituita da due ali che, unite al corpo centrale, formano un edificio unico senza cortili interni. La facciata di rigorosa semplicità è abbellita al piano terra dalle tre porte a vetri centrali dove, nei momenti di maggiore splendore, trovava posto il giardino d'inverno.

I vasti saloni interni sono completamente privi dell'arredamento e dei preziosi stucchi e marmi che abbellivano pareti e camini, i quali furono venduti dai conti Cicogna. Solo gli affreschi del salone e poche decorazioni sui soffitti restano a vestigia del passato. Le ultime testimonianze dell'ormai perso splendore sono il giardino inglese, da poco risistemato, antistante la facciata principale della villa, ed i tre cancelli in ferro battuto sormontati dal monogramma dei Cicogna.

L'ala sinistra della villa è impiegata come sede del Comando di Polizia Locale, mentre il corpo centrale, recentemente ristrutturato, ospita una nuova e moderna biblioteca dotata anche di attrezzature multimediali.

Chiesa e convento di San Francesco
Il complesso fu fondato dall'Ordine dei Frati Minori Francescani nel 1475. L'aspetto odierno è il risultato delle profonde trasformazioni apportate nel corso del XVII secolo. Del convento si conserva oggi una parte del primo chiostro, affrescato nella seconda metà del XVII secolo con episodi della vita di San Francesco mentre all'interno della chiesa sono stati recentemente (1985) riportati alla luce alcuni affreschi cinquecenteschi del Cerano.

La chiesa ospita la tomba del patrizio milanese Giovanni Battista Leonardi, benefattore di Trecate, cofondatore delle Sorelle Ministre della Carità di San Vincenzo de' Paoli.

Il gruppo etnico prevalente è quello albanese con 612 unità, seguito da rumeno (376) e marocchino (285).

Infrastrutture e trasporti
La stazione di Trecate è servita da treni regionali della linea suburbana S6 del Servizio ferroviario suburbano di Milano, svolti da Trenord nell'ambito del contratto di servizio stipulato con la Regione Lombardia.

Presso la stessa sorgeva, fra il 1884 e il 1934, un analogo impianto a servizio della tranvia Novara-Vigevano-Ottobiano.

the Ultimate Binge-Watching Room
by | May 9, 2015 | Goodwin Realty & Associates, Inc | 0 comments
Once upon a time, lovers of such antiquated shows as "Sex and the City," "Friends," and even "Lost" had to wait an entire week between episodes. Oh, the horror.
On Feb. 27, the show that vaulted "binge-watching" onto the Oxford Dictionaries' radarreturns: Season 3 of "House of Cards" drops, all 13 episodes at once, on Netflix. Where will you be watching? On your laptop, on your postcollege-era couch with your cat? What if you could create the ultimate binge-watching room, one where you'd be perfectly happy to spend 13 hours (or more!) mainlining what may be the most addictive form of legally available entertainment?
It may be too late to pull this together in time for the "House of Cards" premiere, but "Orange Is the New Black" returns in June. So for some tips, we turned to Danny Walker, owner of Woodland Home Theater in Campbell, CA.
Of course, the TV itself is key. Netflix is streaming "House of Cards" in the ultra-HD 4K format, and to take advantage of that, you need a 4K TV (about $2,000 to $3,000, depending on size). You'll probably want to mount it and run the wires through the wall—and there will be a lot of wires (budget $500 for labor).
"The whole hype in the media is that everything is wireless, but everything needs power," Walker says. "You don't want to watch a battery-operated TV."
If you really want to soup things up, you could also get a stereo and speaker setup for enhanced sound, like the Sonos playbar and sub ($2,000 to $3,000). Because you might want a dance break every so often, and you'll be able to tap into your tunes on Pandora/Spotify/iTunes.
Oh, and don't forget to upgrade your lighting (about $500 to $1,000). So the lights will come on automatically when you pause the show. Duh.
In fact, why stop with the lights? Netflix, TV, stereo, thermostat, lighting—one device can rule them all.
"You gotta geek out," Walker says. "You've gotta have a good remote control." (Cost: approximately $1,000. Control4 is one maker.)
For refreshment, get a minifridge—but not just any minifridge. At Snyder Diamond, a high-end appliance retailer in Los Angeles, a salesman (who preferred to remain anonymous) suggested an under-counter fridge with drawers, like one by Sub-Zero (approximately $3,800, plus about $200 for installation).
As for snacks, nothing beats popcorn. But we're not talking the microwave stuff: You can get an old-fashioned, theater-style popcorn-popper for $50 to $200 on Amazon.com.
Finally, the seating. "For a dedicated home theater, I would recommend having theater seating," Walker says, "but for a real TV marathon, you want to be able to stretch out—you want a big, comfy couch. With blankets."
"Look for a sofa or sectional that isn't too big for the room, has soft seating but enough cushion fill to maintain its shape over time, and has plush but durable fabric," says interior designer Jennifer Farrell. For a traditional look, she likes this slipcovered sectional in a variety of configurations ($1,275 to $4,709). Or you can go contemporary with this sectional that's also a pop-up sleeper ($3,798 to $3,998). "And Z Gallerie has the best throws," says Farrell ($69.95 to $899.95).
"You could watch TV for years in this room," Walker says.
OK, now that you're all set up, only one question remains: What time should we come over? (We'll bring the pizza.)

Australian Labor Party supports White Australia Policy

White Australia policy
[Newspaper clipping attached to a backing page, which is stamped in purple ink: 'SUNDAY SUN', '17 JUNE 1948'.]
[Heading:] Oppose tilts at White Australia
[Headline in large bold letters:] A.L.P. FOR RACE PURITY
An organised attempt was being made to break down and destroy the white Australia policy, declared AWU Federal Secretary, T. Dougherty, at the State conference of the ALP yesterday.
"I say now that the decision of the Communist Party to oppose a White Australia is in conformity with instructions from the Communist International," he declared.
"Had we listened to these people, we would be under the domination today of the worst men the world has ever known – the Japanese."
Urging that "the Labor Party's White Australia policy be reaffirmed," Mr Dougherty referred to "stupid mouthings" in the past that the Northern Territory should be handed over to surplus populations from the East. Labor policy was to populate Australia from the finest people in the world the stock from which Australians had come.
[Subheading:] Thornton criticised
"When Mr Thornton advocates these matters, he is not speaking on behalf of the Australian worker who has fought for years against the importation of cheap Asiatic labor.
"The Communist Party objective is clear it simply wants to flood the country with people it can use."
Mr. G. Roper (PIEUA) opposed the motion on the ground that Australia stands adjacent today to two-thirds of the human race, most of whom are colored," he said.
The motion was adopted by a big majority.

Box Office Report: 'The Blind Side' is No. 1 with $20.4 mil
By John Young Updated August 03, 2020 at 11:00 AM EDT
Proving that Sandra Bullock is having the best year of her career, the football drama The Blind Side rose to first place at the box office this weekend with $20.4 million, according to early estimates by Hollywood.com Box Office. After settling for second place behind The Twilight Saga: New Moon the past two weeks, Blind Side showed its legs by dropping only 49 percent and overtaking the vampire phenomenon. Blind Side, which received mediocre reviews but obtained a rare "A+" rating from CinemaScore moviegoers, has reached a cumulative gross of $129.3 million. It should have no trouble passing The Proposal's $164 million total to become Bullock's biggest hit.
New Moon slid 63 percent in its third weekend, draining $15.7 million for second place. That puts the teenage romantic fantasy at $255.6 million, with an even scarier worldwide total of $570.1 million. In third place with $9.7 million was the new drama Brothers, starring Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Natalie Portman. Two family film holdovers occupied fourth and fifth place: A Christmas Carol (No. 4 with $7.5 million) and Old Dogs (No. 5 with $6.9 million). Carol, which debuted in early November to a somewhat disappointing $30.1 million, has since displayed admirable box-office stamina. Unfortunately for the Jim Carrey movie, James Cameron's Avatar will be stealing most of Carol's high-priced IMAX and 3-D screens on Dec. 18.
With the exception of Brothers, the weekend's other wide-release debuts were left in the dust. The heist movie Armored skidded into sixth place with $6.6 million, while the Robert De Niro holiday comedy Everybody's Fine barely stuffed its stocking with $4 million — enough for tenth place. However, the weekend's true lump of coal was the horror comedy Transylmania, which grossed a lifeless $274,000 from 1,007 theaters. Its per-screen average of $272 means that, at each theater, approximately 37 people attended Transylmania this weekend. If one figures that the movie played about five times per day, or 15 times the whole weekend, then each screening of Transylmania attracted an average of two or three moviegoers.
In limited release, the new George Clooney comedic drama Up in the Air showed no signs of turbulence, cashing in $1.2 million from just 15 theaters — an average of $79,000 per screen. The Oscar hopeful, which collected the National Board of Review's best picture award last week, expands nationwide on Christmas Day.


On 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board of Directors adopted the recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues Policy Development Process (PDP) Working Group as listed in its Final Report [PDF, 1.23 MB]. Staff from the Global Domains Division (GDD)—responsible for leading the implementation of the policy recommendations—is hereby issuing a call for volunteers to form an Implementation Review Team (IRT) to work with staff to implement the policy recommendations adopted by the Board.
Familiarity with the policy recommendations as well as the deliberations that informed those recommendations is a minimum requirement for IRT members. IRT volunteers should be able to attend regularly scheduled IRT meetings for the duration of this project. Staff currently anticipates that this implementation project could take up to 18-24 months to complete.
All volunteers responding to this call will be expected to understand the role and remit of the IRT for the implementation project. If, in the course of implementation, the IRT identifies a need for potential modifications to the policy recommendations, the team must refer these to the GNSO Council for its consideration and additional guidance.
If you are interested in participating, please send an email to the GNSO Secretariat via gnso-secs@icann.org no later than 30 September 2016, 11:59 UTC.
The Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) is the contract that governs the relationship between ICANN and its accredited registrars (a directory of accredited registrars can be found at http://www.internic.net/regist.html). The RAA also may have impacts on registrants and other third parties involved in the domain name system.
In initiating negotiations for the 2013 RAA between ICANN and the Registrars Stakeholder Group in October 2011, the ICANN Board had also requested an Issue Report from the GNSO that would start a GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) to address remaining issues not dealt with in the RAA negotiations and that would be suited to a PDP (the Board's Resolution can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7). In June 2013, the ICANN Board approved a new 2013 RAA (the provisions of which can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.pdf) [PDF, 913 KB], and this PDP was launched in October 2013.
The Final Recommendations of the Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP Working Group, which GDD is now preparing to implement, are the consensus outcomes of that PDP. Once implemented, this Privacy and Proxy Services accreditation program will supersede requirements in the 2013 RAA's Specification on Privacy and Proxy Registrations.

The all-electric sedan is the first of five electric vehicles that Ford plans to launch in North America by next year.
Ford earlier this week announced that it is taking orders for the all-electric version of its 2012 Focus sedan.
As of Nov. 2, drivers who "want to go completely gasoline-free will be able to configure the all-new 2012 Ford Focus Electric online at Ford.com and place their orders with a certified electric vehicle dealer," the automaker said in a news release.
The Focus Electric first will be available in limited quantities in the California and New York/New Jersey markets.
As production ramps up, the vehicle will be available next year in 15 other launch markets, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Orlando, Phoenix, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
Ford chose the launch markets based on several criteria, including "commuting patterns, existing hybrid purchase trends, utility-company collaboration and local-government commitment to electrification," the automaker noted.
The 2012 Focus Electric is Ford's first all-electric passenger car, and the first of five electrified vehicles planned for launch in North America by next year.
"The all-new Focus Electric is an important part of Ford's overall strategy, bringing still another option to customers who want a car that is fun-to-drive, easy to own and fully electric," said Chad D'Arcy, Focus Electric marketing manager.
The Focus Electric comes standard with a slew of high-tech bells and whistles, including an 8-inch touchscreen; a mobile app for remotely monitoring and scheduling battery charging with owners' smartphones; ambient lighting; a rear camera with a rear parking sensor; a voice-activated navigation system; and electronic traction control.
The only options on the Focus Electrics are leather seats and two paint colors, the automaker noted.
"Ford believes driving electric doesn't mean consumers should have to sacrifice on driving experience or vehicle quality," D'Arcy said. "The Focus Electric comes with more standard features than any other comparable all-electric vehicle."
The Focus Electric's battery can be recharged in about three hours using a 240-volt charging station, according to Ford, which says the charging time is nearly twice as fast as that of the 2012 Nissan Leaf.
Drivers also can top off the battery via any standard 120-volt outlet using the included charging cord.
Drivers interested in learning more about the 2012 Focus Electric can view detailed product specs and virtually build and price one at a dedicated website.
They also can locate their nearest certified Ford EV dealers using the website.

Q: Application.Match returns the wrong column number I want to use Application.Match along with VBA in order to find a column number, and subsequently use this as a parameter in Another function.
My code thus far is:
 Set openWb = Workbooks.Open(filepath & Path)
 Set openWs = openWb.Sheets("Sheet1")
 Set currentWb = ActiveWorkbook

 currentWb.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(2,3).Value = Application.Match("Delivered", openWs.Range("A2:R2"),0)

Where the array A2:R2 contains a set of headers for the columns. In my example the "Delivered" header is in M2, or column number 13. My issue is that the function returns the value of 2 indicating that the "Delivered" column ought to be in B2.
I know that Application.Match returns a Relative position, but having the range span from A2 to R2 should avoid any issue in regards to that. There is only one column with the text "Delivered".
I hope someone can shed some light into this
Regards

A: Are you sure currentWb is the one you think it is? Typically the workbook you just opened would be the active workbook, so you probably need to assign that to the variable before you open the source workbook.

A*STAR develops manufacturing of hybrid silicon lasers for mass-produced photonic devices
Producing semiconductor lasers on a silicon wafer is a long-held goal for industry, but their fabrication has proved challenging. Now, researchers at the Data Storage Institute (DSI) of Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) say that they have developed a way to manufacture them that is cheap, simple and scalable (Chee-Wei Lee et al, 'Fabrication and Demonstration of III–V/Si Heterocore Microcavity Lasers via Ultrathin Interlayer Bonding and Dual Hard Mask Techniques', ACS Photonics (2016) 3 (11), p2191).
Hybrid silicon lasers combine the light-emitting properties of group III–V semiconductors like gallium arsenide and indium phosphide with the maturity of silicon manufacturing techniques. Such lasers are attracting attention as they promise inexpensive, mass-producible optical devices that can integrate with photonic and microelectronic elements on a single silicon chip. They have potential in a wide range of applications, from short-distance data communication to high-speed, long-distance optical transmission.
In existing production processes, lasers are fabricated on separate III–V wafers before being individually aligned to each silicon device — a time-consuming, costly process that limits the number of lasers that can be placed on a chip.
To overcome these limitations, Doris Keh-Ting Ng and her colleagues at the A*STAR Data Storage Institute have developed a method for producing a hybrid III–V semiconductor and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) optical microcavity, greatly reducing the complexity of the fabrication process and resulting in a more compact device.
"It is very challenging to etch the entire cavity," says Ng. "Currently, there is no single etch recipe and mask that allows the whole microcavity to be etched, and so we decided to develop a new approach."
By first attaching a thin film of III–V semiconductor to a silicon oxide (SiO2) wafer using a SOI interlayer thermal bonding process, they produced a strong bond that also removes the need for strong oxidizing agents, such as Piranha solution or hydrofluoric acid.
Also, by using a dual hard-mask technique to etch the microcavity that confined etching to the intended layer, they eliminated the requirement to use multiple overlay lithography and etching cycles — a challenging procedure.

"Our approach cuts down the number of fabrication steps, reduces the use of hazardous chemicals, and requires only one lithography step to complete the process," says Ng.
The work is said to present, for the first time, a new heterocore configuration and integrated fabrication process that combines low-temperature SiO2 interlayer bonding with dual hard-mask, single lithography patterning.
"The process not only makes it possible to produce heterocore devices, it also greatly reduces the challenges of fabricating them, and could serve as an alternative hybrid microcavity for use by the research community," reckons Ng.

An Apple Books Classic edition.
"Alone-it is wonderful how little a man can do alone! To rob a little, to hurt a little, and there is the end." What would you do if you were became invisible? Would you use that power for good, or would you become consumed with the freedom it afforded you? Griffin, the antihero of H.G. Wells' classic novel, definitely belongs to the latter school of thought. A misunderstood genius with albinism, Griffin has suffered taunts and isolation his whole life. As he descends into madness, his plans become far darker than simple revenge on those who have wronged him.
In addition to this creepy novel, H.G. Wells-who is widely seen as the father of science fiction-also wrote The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The Island of Doctor Moreau;. Besides killer plots, his work provides chilling insight on human nature. The Invisible Manis a story about cruelty, curiosity, and unfettered power. Read it-and you'll immediately notice its inescapable influence on modern literature, movies, and comic books.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Spoiler alert: H. G. Wells' science fiction classic really is about an invisible man. Written in 1897 as scientific progress and new inventions were revolutionizing the world, Wells' novel still carries a palpable sense of wonder, amazement, and fear. We jump into the story feet-first from the opening page: The mysterious scientist Griffin is already invisible when we meet him and his horrifying backstory isn't revealed until we're almost halfway through his terrifying descent into insanity. Much more so than Mary Shelley's earlier mad-scientist classic, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man feels modern and contemporary. Wells' fundamental point—that technological progress inevitably comes with dangerous unintended consequences—is still something we're grappling with well over a century later. We suspect this novel will forever feel unnerving and timely.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 4 SEPT 2017
Actor Griffin adds to the mysterious atmosphere of this classic work of science fiction originally published in 1897. In his cultured British accent, he carries listeners through the trials and tribulations of Wells's creation, a mad scientist (also named Griffin) who does research into optical refraction until he finds a formula that makes him invisible a state he mistakenly believes will provide him with fame and fortune. Actor Griffin makes palpable the profound panic of the scientist, who is unable to find a formula to reverse his invisibility. He provides fine cockney accents for innkeepers Jenny and George Hall, which adds color and authenticity to the performance. Listeners will be immersed in the struggle of local scientists, doctors, and police to apprehend a man they cannot see.

Good story.
little_red_hen , 23/08/2022
The quintessential mad scientist story
With a knack for capturing the intersection of the dramatic with the extremely mundane, this quintessential mad scientist story is an absolute caper. Almost as a bonus, the 'science' in this piece of science fiction is at least plausibly absurd and has a basis in real optics. The Invisible Man absolutely deserves its place as a classic of science fiction.

Do you have any questions about pressure washer pump oil? Let's talk about why pump oil is important, how often you should change it and what you need to know when you're buying some. I'll share my pro tips to help you save time, money & protect your pressure washer pump.
You need pressure washer pump oil to protect the investment you made when you bought your gas pressure washer with your hard earned dollars.
Making sure you have good lubrication in your gas pressure washer pump, with the right level of clean pump oil, is simply the easiest and cheapest preventative maintenance you can do to keep from damaging your pump & engine.
How Often Should You Change your Pressure Washer Pump Oil?
Do you have a brand new pressure washer? Then take a look at your owners manual - it'll tell you when you should do your first oil change.
Personally, after your first oil change, I recommend changing it about every 50 working hours. Or at least once a year, if you don't use your unit often.
Don't forget: you should check your oil level before you start up your washer. Everytime. Your unit will have a window (sight glass) on the side which allows you to see the level. Or, if you don't have a window, you'll have a dip stick.
Lookfor the red dot or two parallel lines, on your oil pump window. Your level should be up to the red dot or between the parallel lines. Never overfill your above the red dot or parallel lines or your dipstick guide.
Also, if you store your pressure washer in an unheated shed or garage, during the winter, you'll want to change your oil before you start it up in the spring. And if it ever looks milky - change it immediately!
Never, ever use regular engine oil! There's no faster way to ruin your pump and waste your hard earned money.
Make sure that you only use lubricant that's specifically formulated for gas pressure washers. Choose one that's non-detergent (non-foaming) and that has anti-rust and anti-oxidation inhibitors.
But if you have one of the few units that don't have an sight glass (window) on the side of the pump, or dipstick, you'll need to buy the pre-measured bottles that's specified for your brand. See your owners manual for more information.

Tick, Dak, Dough: The Dallas Cowboys' QB issue
Bob McManaman
The story you are about to read is true. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent.
Like, for instance, when Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was asked hypothetically if he'd continue to stick with a young quarterback who keeps winning games while filling in for an injured, but established veteran starter.
"Never really experienced it with any other player," Arians said. "I always go back to the Wally Pipp story. Guy comes in and does better than you were when you were playing, I'd stay with him."
Really? No matter what?
CARDINALS XTRA FREE APP: iPhone | Android
"Yeah," Arians said, "unless this guy's won 10 Super Bowls or something."
Tony Romo hasn't won 10 Super Bowls for the Dallas Cowboys. He hasn't even been to a Super Bowl. In fact, he's lost twice as many playoff games (four) than he's won (two) through his first 12 NFL seasons.
But he's not a slouch, either. Romo has thrown for more career touchdown passes (247) than Hall of Famers Jim Kelly (237) and Steve Young (232). In his last full season two years ago, he threw 34 touchdown passes to just nine interceptions in helping the Cowboys go 12-4. For the better part of his time in Dallas, in fantasy football circles if nothing else, he's mostly been regarded as a top 10 quarterback.
CARDINALS VS. JETS: Scouting report, prediction
The problem is, he suffered a compression fracture in his back while being sacked during a preseason game against the Seahawks. And that opened the door for Dak Prescott, who not only has become the first rookie quarterback to start and win four of his team's first five games since Buffalo's Joe Ferguson in 1973, but has established an NFL record by throwing 155 passes to start a career without an interception.
Now everyone, it would seem, is running amok and shouting about what the Cowboys need to do next. Do they sit Prescott when Romo is expected to be cleared and able to play on Oct. 30 against the Eagles? Or do they keep playing the rookie through Sunday's game at Green Bay and after the Cowboys return from their off week?
Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, Aaron Rodgers and Roger Staubach have all weighed in on the subject during the past week. But who hasn't? The question is gaining such national attention, it's probably going to be asked to Clinton and Trump during the third and final Presidential debate.
So far, the jury appears to be torn.
During his weekly appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Favre suggested that Romo should bide his time and wait so as to not disrupt the "dynamics of the team."
RELATED: Arizona's first round draft picks: NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL
"Now, I know that's a hard thing to do," Favre added. "I just think you are better if you wait 'til you are really needed. And I mean no disrespect whatsoever to Tony."
"If Tony Romo is healthy, he's still a better quarterback than Dak Prescott," Warner told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "But the question for me always becomes if Tony goes back in there, do we have to play differently than we're playing right now?
Rodgers notes that the decision on whom to play moving forward could be financially driven. The Cowboys, after all, signed Romo to a six-year, $108 million extension in 2013 with $55 million guaranteed.
"Obviously, he's (Prescott) shown that he's ready to play," Rodgers said on a conference call. "He's been playing really well. But you have to understand that the team has a lot invested in the guy in front of you most of the time and you're going to get an opportunity. You've just got to be patient."
Staubach, who led the Cowboys to championships in Super Bowls VI and XII, implied Dallas would be foolish to make a quarterback change whether Romo, 36, is healthy or not.
"They don't want to change that if it's really good and I'm sure it's really good now because they're 4-1," he told the Dallas Morning News. "You don't mess around with that. You try to keep it really good and keep the momentum going."
There are good arguments on both sides here, but one thing to keep in mind is Romo's injury history. Considering he's fractured a bone in three of the past five games he's played, it's hard to knock the popular perception that he is brittle. No one will be surprised if he gets hurt again, should he reclaim his starting job.
MORE: NFL Power Rankings tracker: Raising Arizona Cardinals?
Then there is this: Is Prescott thriving simply because of the newfound rushing attack the Cowboys have with rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott? The first-round pick is leading the league in rushing yards (546) and it's reminiscent of 2014, when DeMarco Murray won the rushing title with 1,845 yards, allowing Romo not to take so many chances with the football.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones keeps telling anyone who will listen that there is no quarterback controversy in Big D. He said it's just a question of working Romo back into the lineup and that "it's a wonderful problem to have." Ultimately, however, a real decision will have to be made.
To Prescott's credit, he's saying all the right things.
"This is Tony's team," the rookie told reporters. "I knew that going into the situation. I think everybody knew that. I'm just trying to do the best I can to give my team a chance to win week in and week out."
Still, the question is, which quarterback will be out in a couple of weeks?

Anything that clouds, diverts, or impedes your view also disturbs photoelectric sensors. Vapors and mists, reflective or transparent surfaces can prevent correct signaling in light-based measurement procedures. Furthermore, for target objects with an irregular surface, the single-point measuring range of laser sensors can result in false information despite technically correct detection. In all these cases, ultrasound provides a robust alternative: sound waves are virtually unaffected by vapor, dust, precipitation, and deposits on the sensor. They cover a larger area and are unimpeded by mirroring, complex contours, or dark colors. Ultrasonic sensors provide reliable measurement results even under harsh conditions.
Optical sensors rely on the unimpeded dispersion of light. If their light beam is blocked, swallowed up, diverted, or—as in the case of transparent and dark surfaces—not sufficiently reflected, they cannot detect the target object at all or at least not reliably. There are compensating additional technologies, but these increase the complexity and the costs and also have physical limits.
Object-specific properties such as irregular contours, holes, and recesses in the surfaces can lead to the optical measurement being disrupted. Optical sensors generally work with individual rays with a single-point cross section. If such a beam encounters a hole or a recess in the target object, non-detection and switching errors may occur.
A number of optical properties of the target surface also largely exclude the use of optical sensors. Reflective surfaces can cause an desired deflection of the light beam. Dark materials reflect the light beam poorly, which significantly reduces the detection range or even makes optical detection completely impossible. Transparent objects remain "invisible" because the beam can pass through them unimpeded.
The dispersion of light can be impaired or blocked by a number of factors. Vapor and dust clouds are a part of everyday life in many working environments, and mist, rain, and snow can add to this outside. Depending on the density of the interference factor and the detection range of the measurement, the light pulse can be "swallowed up" on its path. Dust, liquid splashes, frost, or ice can stick to the optical element and block the emission and/or the reception of the pulse.
Ultrasound is almost completely resistant against all these interference factors. For obvious physical reasons, ultrasound is unaffected by the optical properties of a surface. Color, transparency, and mirroring have no influence on the reflection and propagation of sound waves.
When detecting irregular and broken contours, a structural property proves to be helpful: the measuring range of an ultrasonic sensor is greater the further away the object is. The sound cone therefore always encounters the surface of the target object and the sensor detects a lot more than just one point. It is therefore unaffected by holes and recesses. The diameter of the sound cone at the measurement point can also be adapted to the application.
Generally, a contamination of the application environment can only slightly change the propagation of sound waves. Dust, vapors, and precipitation have little effect on the sound. In addition, ultrasonic sensors—again due to the design—are almost immune against adherent coverings or dirt: the sound-producing membrane vibrates and thus prevents any significant adhesion on the side of the sensor facing the product. The following examples show the advantages of ultrasonic sensors in everyday operation.
In the food and pharmaceutical industry, all product-related plant components must meet high requirements in terms of hygiene and cleaning ability. When dealing with aggressive media, the devices must not only withstand robust cleaning but also corrosive vapors or liquids.
Optical sensors always need at least one transparent window for the measuring beam of light and therefore the choice of surface material is limited. In contrast, ultrasonic sensors generally allow a complete encapsulation of hygienic stainless steel. However, fully encapsulated ultrasonic sensors are not widely available to date.
Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a new production technology with a stainless steel membrane that is attached to the sensor housing by laser welding. Thanks to this procedure, the encapsulation is not detrimental to the sensor performance. The UMB800, the world's smallest ultrasonic sensor in solid stainless steel was recently launched on the market. The device is manufactured entirely from FDA-compliant materials and is therefore particularly well-suited to applications involving strict hygiene standards and in aggressive environments. At only 18 mm in diameter and 55 mm long, the sensor has a sensing range of 70 mm to 800 mm.
Like other ultrasonic sensors, the UMB800 is available in versions with high IP protection, a wide operating temperature range, and protected against electromagnetic interference and chemical influences.

Rail Shippers Applaud Labor Deal, Seek Rapid Ratification
Groups representing big rail shippers said Thursday's tentative railroad-labor contract avoids potential turmoil in their supply chains and they are hoping for rapid ratification by union members to fully ease the labor tensions.
"We are relieved and cautiously optimistic that this devastating nationwide rail strike has been averted," said National Retail Federation President and Chief Executive Matthew Shay.
"We hope railway workers will accept the new terms of the proposed contract and the railway system can continue to operate on behalf of the millions of hardworking Americans who rely on it for their jobs and the economic security of our country," Mr. Shay said in a statement.
The deal came less than 24 hours before a deadline Friday that could have led to a shutdown of rail operations across the U.S., potentially stranding tens of thousands of shipments.
Major freight railroads had already started halting shipments of hazardous materials so that the cargoes wouldn't get stuck in their networks under a strike. Norfolk Southern Corp. had begun to restrict intermodal shipments—which move between trains, trucks and cargo ships—ahead of the deadline.
Norfolk Southern said Thursday it had reopened the gates at its intermodal facilities on word of the agreement.
The tentative deal must now be ratified by members of the various unions covered by the contracts. The timing for ratification votes hasn't been set but it could take several weeks.
The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, one of several unions in talks with the railroads, said Wednesday that its members had rejected the tentative agreement. Two other labor unions, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, and SMART Transportation Division, said Thursday they were able to secure changes to company attendance policies in the new deal.
"This morning's announcement of a tentative agreement between the railroads and their workers is a welcome relief," said National Association of Manufacturers President and Chief Executive Jay Timmons. "Manufacturers had been putting into place contingency plans as they were facing disruptions with moving their supplies and products."
The country's biggest apparel trade group, the American Apparel & Footwear Association, said it was watching for final ratification by union members and it would press Congress to intervene if the pact is rejected.
"If a deal is not completed in full, the 25% of apparel and footwear that typically touches the rail lines would immediately get stuck and threaten the busy fall shopping season," said Steve Lamar, the association's president and chief executive.
The terms of the agreement, which runs through 2024, largely reflect those proposed by a presidential panel. They include wage increases of about 24% over five years.
The union members had been working without a contract since 2019. The deal, which is retroactive to 2019, includes a 14.1% wage increase upon ratification. Workers would then get a 4% raise in July 2023 and a 4.5% increase in July 2024, as well as five annual $1,000 lump-sum payments.
The terms may help push shipping prices higher as railroads seek to preserve profit margins under the higher labor costs, UBS analyst Thomas Wadewitz wrote in a research report.
Still, the agreement may help improve rail service in operations that have been hit by capacity and staffing shortages, he wrote. The railroads can "benefit from the new agreements which boost pay and could reduce the pace of attrition among the railroad workforce and also increase their effectiveness in hiring new workers," Mr. Wadewitz wrote.
Mr. Lamar said companies remain concerned about potential disruption because of a labor impasse at West Coast ports, where dockworkers have been working without a contract since midsummer and bargaining appears to be stalled. "We continue to urge speedy conclusion of the parallel labor negotiations at the West Coast ports—now in their fourth month—to make sure that we can avoid similar brinksmanship in the future," he said.

La Rue Haxo es una calle de París (Francia), situada entre los distritos XX y XIX. Lleva el nombre de François Nicolas Benoît Haxo (1774-1838), general de la Revolución francesa y del Primer Imperio.

Historia
Durante el siglo , es un callejón del parque del castillo de Ménilmontant .

La rue Haxo está formada por la antigua "rue de Vincennes" (situada entre la rue du Surmelin y la rue de Romainville) y la "rue de Pantin" o "rue du Pré-Saint-Gervais" (situadas entre la rue de Romainville y el boulevard Sérurier) . Su denominación actual la consagra un decreto del 2 de octubre de 1865.

El 30 de enero de 1918, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, el número 118 de la rue Haxo sufre destrozos tras un ataque aéreo de aviones alemanes.

Literatura
En El código Da Vinci, Dan Brown ubica la rue Haxo en el oeste de París, cerca del estadio Roland-Garros y la sede de un banco suizo, en el número 24. La dirección no exista ya que nunca se asignaron los números pares del 18 al 34 : el terreno contiguo está ocupado por el depósito de Ménilmontant y la desembocadura de la rue Darcy.

The Godfather Coda Mixes Crime, Politics, and Religion

Al Pacino in The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone	 (Paramount Pictures/Trailer image via YouTube)
Francis Ford Coppola's epic is more relevant than ever.
Maybe Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather films really are "our" epic, the ultimate expression of America's spiritual decline, through its crime-family metaphor — the obsession with advancing fortune and achieving power. More than a gangster saga, the Corleone-family story concentrated the national dream in tribalism, then depicted its eventual betrayal and self-destruction. The cynical view of American history is rooted in European immigrant history — from the Borgias to modern parallels with the Rockefellers, the Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons, Bidens, etc. "Politics and crime, they're the same thing," Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) says in The Godfather, Part III — this time lower in the sound mix as if to make it subtle, but it was always more than fans of this violent-romantic gangster series par excellence could take.
Part of the great problem of The Godfather's popularity is that it inured us to corruption. Now, the line "Treachery is everywhere" (spoken by Michael's arch enemy) has unexpected contemporary relevance.
Coppola's restructuring of The Godfather, Part III on its 30th anniversary (retitled The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone) should have been timely enough to rescue COVID-era film culture, but given recent comic-book-movie dumbing-down and the narrative depletion of TV-bingeing, it comes too late. The rich complexity of Coppola's vision was never fully appreciated — not even by Coppola himself, who has altered it to fit contemporary negativity. The new disfigured opening sequence shows Michael being told, "In today's world, it seems the power to absolve debt is greater than the power of forgiveness." This changes emphasis from the original opening, which recaptured the powerful moodiness of the first two films, and now makes Michael's hopelessness TV-obvious.
The original opening scene at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral crucially established Michael's hypocrisy and guilt. It flashed back to the two most shocking things we ever saw in the movies: Michael's hypocritical baptism/massacre montage ("Do you renounce Satan and all his works?") and his fratricide of Fredo. Fredo's death resonates, pulsing throughout Part III's narrative. Michael cannot escape the guilt or the corruption; it even infects the Vatican, where Michael attempts a financial deal to help legitimize his family's standing.

In Part III, Coppola finally acknowledged this hypocrisy (and his own personal complicity) through several scenes that essentially set Michael's confession. This moral reckoning equates the saga to Greek tragedy. It is dramatically, spiritually necessary — despite our secular culture's efforts to reject it. (That's why Part III is rarely exhibited, that's why the media preferred HBO's The Sopranos.)
Part III is the moral statement that the world waited 16 years to see. Now, The Irishman gets false praise just to show that no lesson was learned. Reviewers attributed Coppola's theme to Scorsese. But Coppola recognizes the Godfather phenomenon as opera and relays it to us as opera. The magnificent final half-hour intercuts a performance of Cavalleria Rusticana with another horrific montage of Michael's inescapable treachery. Coppola's filmmaking sophistication and cinematographer Gordon Willis's imagery reach their zenith here; it's a postmodern, mise en abîme masterpiece.
Also from Armond White
We face the artistic legacy of ethnic corruption; that's what Michael's son Anthony sings about it in a Sicilian song (Nino Rota's Godfather theme) with the lyric "My soul cries in pain. It has no peace, what a terrible night!" It shocks Michael, whose actual confession is one of the great moments in movie history. His priest explains, "The mind suffers, the body cries out."
Marlon Brando famously explained the first Godfather film as "a critique of corporate capitalism," but Coppola goes further. In Part III, Coppola deals with Catholicism, what Michael calls "the true faith," which the previous installments had dodged. This personal accountability is unavoidable in the casting of his daughter Sofia as Michael's daughter Mary, a figure of sacrifice and expiation just like the totems of fallen religious statuary and the archbishop's plummeting corpse. For Millennial viewers, Mary's fronting for Michael's business dealing may also denote the tribal descent of Chelsea Clinton and Hunter Biden. Although restructured as The Godfather Coda, Part III pulls us back to cinema as art and politics so that cinema matters again.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Share Never-Before-Seen Intimate Photos in On the Run II Tour Book
by Andrea Park
Maybe you've wished that you could be a fly on the wall in Beyoncé and Jay-Z's home. You'd watch Blue Ivy deal with all the exhausting adults around her, coo over Sir and Rumi, and observe Bey and Jay's post-Lemonade, post-4:44 interactions with each other. And now, thanks to some On the Run II tour merch, the Knowles-Carters themselves have made that last part come true. According to attendees' social media posts, the artists are selling a booklet filled with sexy, previously unpublished photos of Bey and Jay.
As seen in photos fans have taken of the tour book and shared online, per HotNewHipHop, most of the snapshots Beyoncé and Jay-Z have shared are incredibly intimate. In one, the shirtless rapper smokes a cigar in bed while Beyoncé, wearing only a G-string, reads the newspaper next to him; in another, they lie in bed completely naked, holding onto each other to strategically cover up any censorable bits. Other, more clothed pics include one of Beyoncé looking back at the camera as she runs away through a field, wearing a mustard yellow crop top and matching pants and letting her long hair blow in the wind, and another of her sitting on her husband's lap in a chair on the beach, with Bey wearing a lacy rainbow-colored suit and huge floppy red hat, and Jay sporting a coordinating red suit and dark sunglasses.

Elsewhere in the OTRII tour imagery, Bey and Jay, who tied the knot in New York City in April 2008, have shared photos of each of them holding two babies (who were later revealed not to be Sir and Rumi), as well as footage of what looks like a recent vow renewal ceremony. And with dozens of dates still left on the tour, there's a good chance we'll slowly but surely be given even more peeks inside the Knowles-Carters' typically uber-private household.

Negotiating Religiosity in a Secular Society: A Study of Indonesian Muslim Female Migrant Workers in Hong Kong

This study examined how Indonesian Muslim female migrant workers in Hong Kong, the majority of whom work in the domestic sector, negotiate their religiosity in a secular society. As a method of investigation, qualitative exploratory research was used. Observation and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used to collect data with eight Indonesian Muslim female workers in Hong Kong. The findings show that: 1) despite workplace restrictions, these workers adhered to their religious rites; 2) they utilized the most viable solutions to enable them to conduct their job obligations that were incompatible with their religion; 3) they established halaqas [religious study groups] in several mosques throughout Hong Kong and met regularly; and 4) the migrant workers gained strength from their faith, while the religious study groups greatly assisted them in overcoming and resolving life's challenges. The researchers concluded that while it is critical for many workers to live according to their religion, many employers are unaware of their employees' religion and religious values. There should be better dialogue and agreement on how workers and employers can negotiate their rights and obligations. In response to the study's findings, several recommendations are made.

Single Review: David Drake "Shooting Arrows at the Sun"
Michael Stover June 21, 2020	Album Reviews Leave a comment
With a lustrous slink to its rhythm and rhyme, David Drake's "Shooting Arrows at the Sun" begins to take shape before us. Whether we're watching the video for the single or simply taking in the song as it was originally recorded, there's a profound darkness that overtakes most every word that slips from Drake's lips here. Eerily stylish and vaguely cosmopolitan in its construction of a sly hook, there's a pop influence to "Shooting Arrows at the Sun" not necessarily as recognizable in this artist's previous work as it is here, but nevertheless, it produces a sound as unique as any sunset.
The vocals are mixed as to reflect all of the tension building in the instrumentation during the chorus, but I wouldn't say that "Shooting Arrows at the Sun" is somehow anti-cathartic. There isn't any breathing room between the percussion and the bassline as we get deeper into the song, and once the vocal weaves in and out of focus following the second chorus, the entire energy around the center of the melody shifts towards the implied darkness of the track's first half. This might not have been created with the intention of inducing chills on the spot, but that's exactly what Drake's latest release does when heard at the right volume.

We cross the finish line with David Drake's "Shooting Arrows at the Sun" in a fading, smoky haze of harmonies that are neither broken nor complete. The first time that I heard this song and saw the music video it inspired, I couldn't help but think of The Doors at their most cryptic, towards the end of Jim Morrison's time on earth. Drake captures the essence of a horizon's joint optimism/pessimism better than I had thought him capable of here, and I would tell anyone who hasn't already seen this video to give it a watch as soon as possible.
