This piece is entitled Planets. I rearranged the planets to form the structure of an atom. I also added a space background, because the planets are in, well, space. The quote is derived from something on Welcome to Night Vale, a podcast that often makes me ask existential questions. It serves to remind us that there are different levels of infinity, and even our infinity may be giving away to another.
The strengths of the piece are probably the background and the planet arrangement. I struggled with the lines connecting the planets, though, and how to make the piece look like you see above.
I would probably add Earth in, since I apparently forgot I live on that planet and left it out of the piece.
1. Well its the olympics and just a collage of different events and athletes.
2. I would say the message is American victory and just the olympics being the ultimate occasion of patriotism.
3. I would say the olympic rings.
4. I struggles with the olympic rings.
5. I would redo the layout if the whole piece.
I was inspired to make this from the make love not war axe commercial because it helped me look at things differently. I think its a great advertisement too its trying to help the world its not just about the deodorant. After watching the commercial I didn't even care about axe. I started thinking of the people that have done horrible things to other human beings like hitler and I thought what if he became an artist instead of a oppressor. He could have brought love to the world instead of pain.
Well, as i always stated, this is a fan fiction of Blue Exorcist. i adjusted my character (on the right) with the main character of the story.
Well, there really is no message to it except for, no matter what you do, make sure you know what your doing is what you believe is the right thing to do. if it isn't, well... you might end-up like these two.
what i fell as the strength of the piece is the color. i loved putting the texture of it and blending it together.
my biggest struggle i would have to say was the flames on the sword. i had a real problem with that.
if i could.... well nothing i like it just the way it was.
it is a detail of a human head with tattoos of what i would symbolize.
more detail pictures like the one i found.
1. This is one of my art pieces that came out of a two minute sketch from home. Once i brought the sketch to the ACT classroom, I scanned it and I started working on it. The goal of the project was to add color with the shading.
2. There is no message in this art piece but it does tell someone the things I can do out of a sketch.
3. The strengths in this piece would be the color in general because it was the less time consuming part of the project.
4. In this art piece, I struggled with the shading that took place on the leafs and the pedals of the flower.
5. I would maybe redo the roots of the flower and change them to maybe a light brown.
1. This is a mash-up between Marvel and DC. There is Deadpool attempting to pick up Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. While this is going on, Rocket Raccoon is on Thor's back watching everything. Superman is flying in the background and Batman is being a creep behind the clouds.
2. The message is nobody can lift Thor's hammer, unless you are worthy enough to lift it.
3. The strength is the editing of the front part with deadpool picking up Thor's hammer.
5. I would redo Rocket Raccoon.
1. This is a photoshopped image of schoolboy q flying through space on a huvr board.
2. It shows that anything is possible even flying through space.
3. I like how the rainbow flows with the space.
4. I struggled finding a good quality picture of Schoolboy Q in the huvr board.
from scratch, I draw it randomly with cluttered accessories.
4.) I struggled with the different layers of colors.
5.) I would redo the hair.
The two designs that I made are ideas for t-shirt designs for the Canyon Springs pep squad. The first design is the names of the four teams on our squad all into one crossword. The second design are the symbols that represent those four teams incorporated into the words, "Cougar Pride". There isn't really a message to these projects, they are just for the purpose of creating new t-shirts for the 2013-2014 pep squad. For the first piece, I feel that the strengths are the way I made he words go together and the placement of them in the crossword. In the second piece, I feel that the strength is the slash marks behind the words. Surprisingly, I didn't struggle very much with these pieces. However, it was a little difficult to get the music not on the second project to be proportional to the rest of the word. If I could redo my first piece, I would add more dimension and originality to it because I feel like it is missing something, I'm just not sure what that quite is. If I could redo my second piece, I would change the way the megaphone looks. I feel like it doesn't blend in with the rest of the project as well as I would like it to.

Tom Uren, AC - a truly distinguished Australian
Following the death of Mr Tom Uren, AC, on Monday 26 January, the nation reflected on his contribution as a parliamentarian, patriot and a truly distinguished Australian.
Charles Sturt University (CSU) Vice-Chancellor, Professor Andrew Vann, said it is notable that Mr Uren (1921-2015) died on Australia Day.
"The nation lost an outstanding political and social leader this week, and the University extends its condolences to Mr Uren's family, friends and colleagues.
"The University bestowed an honorary doctorate on Mr Uren in 1997 in recognition of his distinguished contribution to the vigour of Australian democracy and the practice of parliamentary government in Australia," Professor Vann said.
"Mr Uren spent much of his life as a 'constructive oppositionist', and exemplified the qualities of service to the community and the nation that not only endure but, one hopes, will prevail.
"His shared vision for the development of the Albury-Wodonga region, and the establishment of a university there, is particularly evidenced by the presence of Charles Sturt University there today. In that, we can proudly note the manifest alignment of Mr Uren's social ambitions and the exhortation of colonial explorer Charles Sturt - 'for the public good' - which steers this University.
"It might be a long time before we see his like again."
During World War II Mr Uren served in the Second Australian Infantry Forces, was captured and forced to labour on the infamous Burma-Thailand Railway. There his courage, stamina and calmness under severe provocation were an inspiration to his fellow Australian prisoners. This experience shaped his subsequent post-war service philosophy and actions.
Mr Uren was a member the Australian Labor Party, and held a seat in the Australian Parliament for 32 years, and served in two ministries. In the Whitlam Government he was Minister for Urban and Regional Development for the years 1972 to 1975, and undertook a range of other parliamentary appointments and offices. He established the Australian Heritage Commission and the National Estate Program. But besides having a sense of place in history, Mr Uren also had a sense of place in the future. On 20 November 1973 he introduced legislation to establish the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation, a statutory body comprising representatives of Federal, State and Local governments. Its charter was to promote the growth of the region.
Adjunct Associate Professor Bruce Pennay from the CSU School of Environmental Sciences and the Institute for Land, Water and Society in Albury-Wodonga acknowledges Mr Uren was an originator of the notion of developing Albury-Wodonga as a National Growth Centre in 1973.
"As the first Minister for Urban and Regional Development, Mr Uren had ministerial responsibility for undertaking the growth centre project which was novel, experimental and imaginative," Professor Pennay said.
"Mr Uren was a vigorous champion of the idea of creating a new regional city which would not have the problems of the overcrowded and under-planned Sydney and Melbourne. His enthusiasm came from what he and his family saw as the inconveniences of living in the urban sprawl of Western Sydney," Professor Pennay said.
"Mr Uren went on to become a staunch defender of the project when it fell into disfavour with the ensuing government. After the Labor Party resumed government, Mr Uren became Minister for Local Government and Administrative Services in 1984. He once again had responsibility for what he regarded as his favourite project. Subsequently, Albury-Wodonga was selected to be the base for a large branch of the Australian Tax Office."
Mr Uren opposed the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, and was prepared to spend time in gaol in support of causes that he thought were right.

Q: How to set the column width for individual column in excel using data annotations I have to export the data to excel. The width of the column are defined as the specification. The width must be exactly the same as defined when export to excel.
I wanted to define using Width as Data Attribute on property for the model.
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property, Inherited = false)]
internal class ColumnWidthAttribute : System.Attribute
{
    private int _width;
    public ColumnWidthAttribute(int width)
    {
        _width = width;
    }

    public virtual int Width
    {
        get
        {
            return _width;
        }
    }
}

Model Class:
[DisplayName("First Name")]
[ColumnWidth(12)]
public string FirstName { get; set; }

The code to export to excel.
using (var excelFile = new ExcelPackage())
{
    excelFile.Workbook.Properties.Title = "Bulk Upload";
    var worksheet = excelFile.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Sheet1");
    worksheet.Cells["A1"]
        .LoadFromCollection(Collection: items, PrintHeaders: true);
    response = excelFile.GetAsByteArray();
}

Here in above code i wanted to loop over collection and add the worksheet width according to the data attributes defined on the property. Can you guide me on how to loop over the data attribute and provide the width of the worksheet?
For example as in the First name, i wanted to display the length of column only have 12 characters only(whatever the length supplied from the database) and the width must be as defined in the data annotations. I have the specifications as shown below:
Position   Length       Field
    1-12          12      First Name
    13-21         9       Last Name
    22-27         8       DOB

In 1948, the AF established the Air Force Security Group. It went through many name changes over the years before finally becoming the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Agency in 2007. The name has changed from 1948 but the mission remains the same. It is rapidly evolving to meet all threats to this nation.
Headquartered at Lackland AFB, Texas, the AF ISR has about 17,00 people that serve at 65 locations worldwide. Recently a team completed improvements to a system in Afghanistan. Within a day of completing the improvements required for the system to function, they were able to identify imminent suicide attacks against coalition bases. They worked with the Army to identify and locate the suicide bombers. An air strike was launched, the suicide bombers were destroyed, and the attack on the coalition bases was preempted.
Vigilance is a vital role the Agency plays in protecting our nation as well as our allies. The AF ISR Agency provides units with video of real time surveillance to help missions evolve moment by moment. They take the guessing game out of the mix and through advancements in technology, the Agency continues to make a direct impact on missions. The AF ISR Agency's contribution to the joint-fight is vital for its success.
If you've received PCS orders to the AF ISR, contact Housing 1 Source today to help with your move to Lackland AFB. We'll help you find housing, education and employment opportunities for your family, and much more.

World Series 2010: Texas Rangers Look to Rebound from Game 1 Loss
by paul ferguson under MLB
Cliff Lee was thought to be invincible, and his postseason record proved that he just might be. He had never lost in the postseason, that is until Game 1 of the World Series.
Game 1 was a disaster for the Rangers. They allowed 14 hits and 11 runs, with Cliff Lee allowing a postseason-high of six. They made four errors, which was uncharacteristic for a normally solid Rangers team. Cliff Lee was pounded around for 4 2/3 innings.
When the dust settled in the fifth inning, the Rangers were down 5-2, and Cliff Lee was taken out of the game. By the time the inning was over, the Rangers were down 8-2, and Game 1 might as well have been over.
So much for the unbeatable Cliff Lee, so much for the Clee Facts, so much for the "I heart Clee shirts, the absurdity that was "Cliff Lee's wife doesn't flirt with him because no one hits on Cliff Lee" turned into anyone and everyone can hit on Cliff Lee.
Lee was unable to locate his breaking pitches and was forced to abandon those altogether. He was forced into being a strictly fastball/cutter pitcher, and that was not working either. Countless times his cutter drifted over the middle of the plate, allowing the Giants to tee-off on Lee.
If you would have told me before the game that Cliff Lee would have more hits than Josh Hamilton, I would have laughed at you, even though Cliff Lee was put up on this high pedestal. Hamilton could not produce a hit, while Lee produced a double in the second inning.
Freddy Sanchez had three doubles in his first three at bats off of Cliff Lee, and everyone was pounding the ball.
The matchup of aces Cliff Lee and Tim Lincecum quickly turned into an afterthought, as both made early exits. The Rangers, rookies in the World Series, played just like you would expect any rookie. They were jittery and nervous, and it showed in their play. Even the great Cliff Lee showed his nervousness throughout the game.
"I think it's just baseball. That's the only thing you can say," Sanchez said. "This is a crazy game."
"I was trying to make adjustments," Lee said. "I was up. I was down. I was in. I was out. I was trying to find it, and I was never really consistent with what I was doing."
This has been the "year of the pitcher", but if Game 1 was any indication, it will be the World Series of the hitter.
The Giants won 11-7 in a game that was never really that close.
What does this mean for the Rangers?
The Rangers desperately need a win tonight, and they will give the ball to left-hander, C.J. Wilson. Wilson has been the Rangers most consistent pitcher this year, and has snapped Texas' losing streaks time and time again this season. The Rangers will need him to do just that tonight.
He will be facing Matt Cain tonight, who could be difficult for the Rangers to rebound against. Cain has allowed one run, nine hits and struck out 11 over 13 2/3 innings while going 1-0 in two starts this postseason. These are impressive stats, and the Rangers will need to produce runs if they want to go back to Texas with the series tied.
A 2-0 deficit is not insurmountable, but it will put the Rangers in a hole that I am not sure they could dig out of.
The Rangers look to rebound tonight against the Giants, and they will need a solid effort from C.J. Wilson to do so.
B/R Prediction: Texas Rangers 5, San Francisco Giants 4

Mely Kiyak (* 1976 in Sulingen) ist eine deutsche Schriftstellerin, Journalistin und Kolumnistin.

Leben
Kiyak ist Tochter eines aus der Türkei stammenden kurdischen Einwanderers. Nach ihrem Studium am Deutschen Literaturinstitut Leipzig begann sie, als Journalistin für den Mitteldeutschen Rundfunk und die Leipziger Volkszeitung zu arbeiten. 1998 wurde sie deutsche Staatsbürgerin.

Seit 2005 ist Kiyak in Berlin als Autorin und freie Journalistin tätig. Ihre Texte erschienen unter anderem in der Zeit, der Welt und der taz. Von 2008 bis 2013 erschien von Kiyak in der Frankfurter Rundschau, später auch parallel in der Berliner Zeitung, eine politische Kolumne. Seit Ende 2013 schreibt sie auf der Website des Berliner Maxim-Gorki-Theaters eine regelmäßige Kolumne, seit 2014 auch auf Zeit online. Im Zentrum ihrer Artikel, Kommentare, Berichte, Rezensionen, Feuilletons, Fernseh- und Diskussionsbeiträge (z. B. auch innerhalb des ARD-Presseclubs) stehen Migrations- und Integrationspolitik sowie Kultur.

Für die Körber-Stiftung arbeitete Kiyak wesentlich an dem Buch Zweiheimisch (2006) über bikulturelles Leben in Deutschland mit und veröffentlichte 2007 das Buch 10 für Deutschland.

Sie verbringt regelmäßig einige Tage in der Benediktinerinnenabtei zur Heiligen Maria in Fulda und gibt dort mit Schwester Christa die Zeitschrift Winke für den Biogärtner heraus.

Sarrazin-Kontroverse
Im Mai 2012 bezeichnete Kiyak in ihrer Kolumne für die Berliner Zeitung sowie die Frankfurter Rundschau Thilo Sarrazin, dessen rechte Gesichtshälfte infolge der Operation eines Tumors teilweise gelähmt ist, nach einem Fernsehauftritt als "lispelnde, stotternde, zuckende Menschenkarikatur". Hierfür wurde sie in der Welt und der Bild kritisiert.  Eine Woche nach Erscheinen des Beitrags legte Kiyak ihre Intention dar, auf die "nicht körperlich bedingten Unvollkommenheiten in seinem Auftritt hinzuweisen […]. Wenn ich den physiologischen Hintergrund gekannt hätte, hätte ich das Bild nicht gewählt. Ich bedauere das sehr!" Nach anhaltender Kritik sprachen die Chefredaktionen der abdruckenden Zeitungen von einer "perfiden Hetzkampagne" gegen die Autorin, welche insbesondere über das Blog Politically Incorrect forciert werde. Kiyak dokumentierte die Art und Zielrichtung dieser Angriffe in einem kritischen Artikel über das Blog in der Berliner Zeitung. Auch die Journalisten-Vereinigung Neue Deutsche Medienmacher und die taz nahmen Kiyak in Schutz. Der Freitag kommentierte, dass Kiyak "den Shitstorm, den sie gegen [… Sarrazin] in Gang setzen wollte", am Ende auch selbst zu spüren bekommen habe.

Der Deutsche Presserat sah den "Verstoß gegen die publizistischen Grundsätze als so schwerwiegend" an, dass er eine Missbilligung gegenüber der Berliner Zeitung aussprach. Sarrazin sei "in seiner Menschenwürde verletzt" worden. Wegen der Entschuldigung Kiyaks wurde jedoch keine Rüge ausgesprochen.

"Hate Poetry"
Seit 2012 trat Kiyak zusammen mit den Journalisten Deniz Yücel, Yassin Musharbash, Özlem Topçu, Özlem Gezer, Hasnain Kazim, Doris Akrap und Ebru Taşdemir im Rahmen der "antirassistischen Leseshow" Hate Poetry auf, bei denen sie im Stile eines Poetry Slams zornerfüllte Leserbriefe vorlasen.

Lil Nas X unveils new song "INDUSTRY BABY" featuring Jack Harlow—watch
The artist's third single of the year features production from Kanye West and Take A Daytrip.
If Lil Nas X hasn't done more than enough to solidify his position as the king of expertly choreographed, provocative music videos, his latest release "INDUSTRY BABY" featuring Jack Harlow certainly will.
The song, which was produced by Kanye West and the hip-hop production duo Take A Daytrip, is the artist's third single of the year.

The music video opens with a scene of Lil Nas X getting sentenced to prison in a trial. The scene is an allusion to an earlier YouTube promotion in which the artist satirized his copyright infringement trial with Nike.
The video for "INDUSTRY BABY" is chaotic, NSFW and an all-around compelling viewing experience. The visual begins as Lil Nas X is working out inside a prison cell. After he spends a moment polishing his two Grammys and adjusting his framed platinum certifications, the scene transitions to a group dance in the prison showers.
Afterward, he and Harlow break out of the prison together using a hammer smuggled inside of a meditation book. During the ensuing chaos, we see another group dance in the prison yard, Harlow getting put into an electric chair and a scene of the pair doing donuts with a police cruiser.

Like every Lil Nas X song to date, "INDUSTRY BABY" is intense enough to be played in a club but anthemic enough to harness a deeper meaning. Prior to releasing the song, the artist posted a letter to his 20-year-old self via Twitter.
"Dear 20 year old montero," the letter begins, "I wrote a song for us. i know sometimes you feel like it's all downhill from here. I know your sexuality has made you feel like an outcast amongst your peers. I know going from having the biggest song in the world to being trapped in your apartment is weighing heavy on you. and i know if you hear the phrase "one hit wonder" one more time you might combust.
"But i need you to keep going," the artist continues. "i need you to realize that you have the opportunity to be the person that you needed growing up. i need you to stop feeling sorry for yourself. and i need you to remember that the only person who has to believe in YOU is YOU."
"INDUSTRY BABY" ?

Prior to the release of "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)," the artist wrote a similar note to himself at age 14 about coming out. There, the artist spoke to his coming out process. He also said it was necessary to open doors for people in a similar situation.
Further establishing his values, the artist has also shared his intention of using the video as a fundraiser for a timely and important issue—The Bail Project. Working with organizations around the United States, the organization seeks to eliminate cash bail, which disproportionately affects people of color and further drives the mass incarceration epidemic.
Lil Nas X says that although music is his preferred channel of liberation, true freedom requires systemic changes.
"Music is the way I fight for liberation," his statement for the fundraiser reads. "But true freedom requires change in how the criminal justice system works, starting with cash bail. I know the pain that incarceration brings to a family, and I know the disproportionate impact that cash bail has on Black Americans. There are so many stories that call on us to take action, and I invite you to join me in this important civil rights issue."

Das Stift Borghorst, heute Teil von Steinfurt, wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 10. Jahrhunderts gegründet. Es war ein freiweltliches adeliges Damenstift. Es bestand bis zu seiner Aufhebung 1811.

Gründungsphase

Als Gründungsjahr wird vielfach 968 angegeben. Die Abschrift der Gründungsurkunde aus dem 16. Jahrhundert hat sich allerdings inzwischen als Fälschung herausgestellt. Nicht angezweifelt wird indes, dass die Gründung in etwa in dieser Zeit erfolgt sein muss.

Gründerin war Gräfin Bertha von Borghorst. Sie war die Witwe des Grafen Bernhard und wird zur Verwandtengruppe der Billunger gezählt. Zusammen mit ihrer Tochter Hedwig oder Hadwig ließ sie eine dem heiligen Nikomedes geweihte Kirche und ein Frauenkloster errichten. Die ehemalige Grafenburg wurde zum Kloster umgestaltet.

Die Tochter Hedwig wurde erste Äbtissin. Die ersten Stiftsdamen kamen aus dem Stift Essen. Im Jahr 969 kam es zur Überführung von Reliquien der Heiligen Cosmas und Damian, Nikomedes und Mauritius.

Rechtsstellung
Otto I. nahm die Einrichtung unter seinen Schutz. Er beauftragte das Erzbistum Magdeburg mit der Beschirmung. Im Jahr 974 erhielt das Stift die Immunität durch Otto II. Danach wurde es von aller weltlichen Gerichtsbarkeit freigestellt, den Insassinnen wurde die freie Wahl der Äbtissin gestattet. Diese war nur auf die Bestätigung durch den Erzbischof von Magdeburg angewiesen. Besonders deutlich gemacht wurde, dass der Bischof von Münster, der für das Gebiet eigentlich zuständig war, keine Rechte am Kloster hatte. Nur zu bischöflichen Amtshandlungen und auch nur mit Zustimmung der Äbtissin durften die münsteraner Bischöfe das Stift betreten. Hauptgrund für die unabhängige Stellung der Einrichtung vom Diözesanbischof war die Nähe zum mächtigen Haus der Billunger und zum sächsischen Kaiserhaus sowie die Verwandtschaft mit dem ersten Erzbischof von Magdeburg Adalbert.

Die Schenkungen der Gründerin an das Stift wurden durch eine weitere Tochter der Gründerin Bertheid in Frage gestellt. Bestätigt wurden die Rechte von Otto III. 989.

Vogtei

Die Erzbischöfe setzten zum Schutz des Stifts einen Vogt ein. Dieser gab die Vogteirechte zunächst an Graf Wichmann aus dem Geschlecht der Billunger. In späterer Zeit gingen die Rechte an die Grafen von Ravensberg über. Im Jahr 1271 kam die Vogtei an die Grafen von Steinfurt. Nicht selten versuchten diese in die Rechte der Stiftsdamen oder der dem Stift unterstellten Bauern einzugreifen. Vor allem unter Ludolf VI. von Steinfurt kam es zu Übergriffen. Danach wurden die Rechte des Vogts stark eingeschränkt. Wegen der Landeshoheit über Borghorst bestanden im 14. Jahrhundert Streitigkeiten zwischen dem Bischof von Münster und den Grafen von Steinfurt.

Materielle Basis
Dem Stift vermachte die Gründerin ihre sämtlichen Güter. Der Grundbesitz des Stifts wuchs durch Schenkung, Übereignung und Kauf weiter an und war weit gestreut. Um 1313 gehörte Borghorst zu den wohlhabendsten Frauenstiften im Bistum Münster. Zum Kloster gehörten eine Reihe von Rittern als Ministeriale.

Charakter der Gemeinschaft
Über die Klosterregel, nach der die Stiftsdamen anfangs lebten, gibt es verschiedene Hinweise. Es gibt Autoren, die von der Zugehörigkeit zum Prämonstratenserorden sprechen. Vielfach wird von einer späteren Umwandlung in ein adeliges, kaiserliches, freiweltliches Damenstift ausgegangen. Teilweise wird für diesen Übergang das 13. Jahrhundert, aber auch das Jahr 1699 genannt. Der Historiker Wilhelm Kohl meint hingegen, dass in Borghorst von Anfang an weniger der Kloster-, sondern der Stiftscharakter dominierte. Bereits vor dem 30-jährigen Krieg waren dort Stiftsdamen, z. B. Clara Anna von Nehem, die Heinrich II. von Droste-Hülshoff heiratete, im 18. Jahrhundert Anna Sophia, eine Schwester von Clemens August I. von Droste zu Hülshoff.

Kirchliche Rechte
Die Kirche des Stifts wurde 1040 zur Pfarrkirche erhoben. Vor allem wegen der klösterlichen Unabhängigkeit erhielt es vom Bischof von Münster nicht die vollständigen Archidiakonatsrechte. Diese hatte die Äbtissin nur für den Bereich der Stiftsimmunität. Beauftragter war der Pastor von Borghorst, der stets ein Kanoniker des Stifts war. Die Äbtissin hatte das Besetzungsrecht der beiden Kanonikerstellen in der Pfarrkirche sowie in vier Vikarien.

Kapitel
Die Angehörigen kamen aus adeligen Häusern. Die Stiftsdamen gelobten Keuschheit und Gehorsam legten aber kein Gelübde ab. Abgesehen von der Zeit des Chorgebets trugen die Damen weltliche Kleidung. In den ersten Jahren im Stift herrschte für die neuen Damen eine strenge Residenzpflicht, danach war diese gelockert. Da kein Gelübde bestand, konnten die Stiftsangehörigen eigenes Vermögen besitzen und sie durften, etwa um zu heiraten, auch aus der Gemeinschaft ausscheiden.

Das Kapitel des Stifts bestand aus 14 Stiftsdamen und drei Stiftsherren. Die Stiftsangehörigen lebten in eigenen Häusern am Kirchhof.

Stiftsämter
Die Äbtissinnen sollten nach den Gründungsurkunden aus dem Geschlecht der Stifterin kommen. In älteren Darstellungen wird angegeben, dass bis 1674 die Äbtissinnen aus dynastischen oder gräflichen Häusern stammten. Es gab aber auch Vorsteherinnen aus Ministerialenfamilien.

Die Äbtissin wurde von den Stiftsdamen gewählt. Bestätigt wurde sie vom Erzbischof in Magdeburg. Sie vergab Ämter und Rechte. Ihre richterlichen Rechte vergab sie an eine Reihe von so genannten Burrichtern. Da eine Reihe der Äbtissinnen gleichzeitig auch Vorsteherinnen von Metelen oder Freckenhorst waren, bestand in Borghorst nur eine Residenzpflicht von drei Monaten im Jahr.

Stellvertreterin der Äbtissin war die ebenfalls gewählte Pröpstin. Diese war vor allem für die Verwaltung der Güter verantwortlich. Das dritte offizielle Amt war das der Küsterin. Diese wurde von der Äbtissin bestimmt. Sie war vor allem für die Gottesdienste zuständig.

Entwicklung seit der Reformation
Als die Grafen von Steinfurt aus dem Haus Götterswick-Bentheim zum Protestantismus übergetreten waren, brachen neue Konflikte zwischen Vogt und Stift aus. Das Kapitel erkannte die Vogtsrechte daher seit 1606 nicht mehr an. Aber erst 1786 verzichteten die Steinfurter offiziell auf die Vogtsrechte.

Obwohl das Erzbistum Magdeburg in der Reformationszeit protestantisch wurde, änderte sich im Verhältnis zwischen diesem und dem Stift zunächst nichts. Innerhalb des Kapitels gab es allerdings nunmehr auch protestantische Stiftsdamen. Diese Verhältnisse gaben dem Bischof von Münster Ferdinand von Bayern die Gelegenheit, in die Stiftsverhältnisse einzugreifen und 1616 die protestantischen Stiftsdamen zu vertreiben.

Während des Achtzigjährigen Krieges wurde das Stift bei einem Versorgungszug der spanischen Armee im Jahr 1592 überfallen.

Im Zuge der Gegenreformation im Bistum Münster erkannte das Stift 1623 den Bischof von Münster als Ordinarius an. Nach der Säkularisation des Erzbistums Magdeburg nach 1648 nahmen die Bestrebungen der münsteraner Bischöfe zu, die Rechte Magdeburgs an sich zu ziehen. Auch mit diesem Ziel unterstützte Bischof Christoph Bernhard von Galen seine Schwester bei deren Kandidatur zur Äbtissin im Jahr 1672. Der Übergang der Rechte an Münster wurde von Brandenburg-Preußen als neue Landesherren in Magdeburg bestritten und 1718 konnte König Friedrich Wilhelm I. einige seiner Rechte durchsetzen.

Säkularisation
Nach dem Reichsdeputationshauptschluss fiel das Stift Borghorst zusammen mit dem zuvor münsterischen Amt Horstmar an die Grafen von Salm. Das Stift klagte dagegen vor dem Reichskammergericht. Ohne dass der Prozess beendet gewesen wäre, verloren die Grafen 1806 die Landeshoheit über die Grafschaft Salm-Horstmar. Nach der Eingliederung in den Rheinbundstaat Großherzogtum Berg löste Joachim Murat als neuer Landesherr die Stifte zunächst nicht auf. Dies geschah erst 1811 als die Region an Frankreich fiel. Die Güter wurden den Domänen des Kaisers Napoleon zugeschlagen. Die Gebäude wurden verkauft. Nach dem Rückzug der Franzosen erhielt der Graf von Salm-Horstmar die Güter des Stifts zurück, hatte die Stiftsdamen aber finanziell zu entschädigen. Das Archiv wurde nach Coesfeld in das fürstliche Archiv gebracht.

Bereits vor der Säkularisation 1801 wurde das Dormitorium abgebrochen. Das Abteigebäude wurde 1811 niedergelegt. In den 1880er Jahren wurde auch die Kirche zu Gunsten eines Neubaus, der heutigen neugotischen Kirche St. Nikomedes, abgerissen. Erhalten ist nur das Kapitelgebäude und ein weiteres Haus aus dem Jahr 1701.

Neben dem Bestand im fürstlichen Archiv in Coesfeld befindet sich ein beträchtlicher Teil des Archivs im Pfarrarchiv Borghorst. Der Nekrolog aus dem 13. Jahrhundert wird im Staatsarchiv Münster aufbewahrt.

Baulichkeiten und Kunstwerke
Wann die Stiftskirche erbaut wurde, ist nicht überliefert. Der Westturm des Langhauses stammte aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Im Jahr 1403 wurde die romanische Kirche zu einer gotischen Hallenkirche ausgebaut. Neben dem großen Turm befand sich die Kapelle der Äbtissin. Außerdem gab es in der Nähe weitere Kapellen.

Den Kirchenvorplatz säumten die Wohngebäude der Kanoniker und der Stiftsdamen ("Stiftskurien"). Nur eine der Stiftskurien, 1688 erbaut, ist erhalten.

Unweit der Kirche liegt die bis heute erhaltene Aloysiuskapelle von 1749.

Zu den bedeutendsten Kunstschätzen gehört das Borghorster Stiftskreuz aus der Zeit um 1050. Dieses befindet sich heute im Besitz der Kirche St. Nikomedes zu Steinfurt-Borghorst. Es zählt zu den wichtigsten ottonischen Kunstwerken.

In der Kirche befand sich ein romanisches Epitaph. Dieses wurde teilweise als Grabplatte von Graf Bernhard, dem Ehemann der Gründerin, gedeutet. Einen Beweis dafür gibt es nicht.

Whether you're an employer or an individual taxpayer, the Taxpayer Advocate Service has several tools available to assist you in estimating credits and payments related to the Affordable Care Act. The Taxpayer Advocate Service recently added a tool to help employers understand how the employer shared responsibility provisions apply to their organization.
Because these tools provide only an estimate, you should not rely on them as an accurate calculation. You should use these estimators only as a guide to assist you in making decisions regarding your tax situation.
The Employer Shared Responsibility Provision Estimator helps you understand how the provision works and how it may apply to your organization. If you are an employer, you can use the estimator to determine the number of your full-time employees, and whether you might be an applicable large employer. You can also use this estimator to compute your maximum potential liability for the employer shared responsibility payment.
The Small Business Health Care Tax Credit Estimator helps determine if you might be eligible for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit and how much credit you might receive. This tool provides you with an estimate for tax year 2014 and beyond. However, some figures used in determining the credit are indexed for inflation. Because of this, for future years, the estimator cannot provide a detailed estimate.
The Premium Tax Credit Change Estimator helps estimate how your premium tax credit will change if your income or family size changes during the year. This estimator tool does not report changes in circumstances to your Marketplace. To report changes and to adjust the amount of your advance payments of the premium tax credit you must contact your Health Insurance Marketplace. Be sure to report all changes directly to that Marketplace because they can affect both your coverage and your final credit when you file your federal tax return.
The Individual Shared Responsibility Payment Estimator helps you estimate the amount you may have to pay if you did not have minimum essential coverage during the year. This tool can only provide an estimate of your individual shared responsibility payment. To determine the payment when you file your tax return, use the Shared Responsibility Payment Worksheet in the instructions for Form 8965.
If you purchased 2016 health care coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, you may have chosen to have advance payments of the premium tax credit paid to your insurance company to lower your monthly premiums. If this is the case, it's important to let your Marketplace know about significant life events, known as changes in circumstances.
Changes in circumstances may qualify you for a special enrollment period to change or get insurance through the Marketplace. In most cases, if you qualify for the special enrollment period, you will have sixty days to enroll following the change in circumstances. You can find Information about special enrollment at HealthCare.gov.
Everyone has important decisions to make concerning health care coverage in 2014. Beginning in 2014, you must choose either basic health insurance coverage (known as minimum essential coverage) for yourself and everyone in your family for each month; or go without health care coverage for some or all of the year.

One of the most striking actions casal procura casal em mendoza was the creation of the Ministry of Culture (MinC).
A moderna tradição brasileira : cultura brasileira e indústria cultural.
During the term of the minister Gustavo Capanema (1934-1945 procuro casal homem coimbra the MHE created subordinated offices and secretariats that were responsible for the preservation of national historical heritage (Office for National Artistic and Historical Heritage the support for the Fine Arts (National Museum of Art) and the.Desenvolvimento includente, sustentável e sustentado.This was, as experts say, a period of withdrawal of the State from the cultural field.Lasting from 1986 to 1988, Furtados term deserves a special consideration.Analysis of the Secretariat of the Creative.The cultural policies to support the creative industries in Britain are closely related to the reformulation of the Labour Party during the 1990s.In: BAR- balho, Alexandre.Unlike the British case, it is meant that the State takes a more active participation in the organization and the regulation of the creative economy.Actually, the MinC stands at a crossroads in which the main issue is: how to deal with culture with the creation of a Creative Brazil?On the one hand, being committed to the spread of the capitalist spirit in Brazil, the government gave full support to private cultural industries (ortiz, 1994).2014 194, leonardo DE marchi, introduction.But created to encourage the arts and to protect the national heritage, the MinC has no structure and competence to cope with the demands of different creative industries.Second, a brief his- tory of the relationship between the State and culture in Brazil is presented.First of all, it extended the concept of culture to a series of activities número de mulheres solteiras em caracas that belonged once to trade and industry.However, it was the experience con- ducted by the British Labour Party at the end of that decade that became paradigmatic.Lei.343, de 2 de dezembro de 2010, tem por finalidade o planejamento e implementação de políticas públicas de longo prazo (até 2020) voltadas à proteção e promoção da diversidade cultural brasileira.His influence is expressed unequivocally as Leitão states that creativity should be based on Brazilian regional cultural diversity, that is, the local knowledge of the population, because only the awareness of the people about their real situation could leverage an endogenous and inclusive economic growth.
Metas do Plano Nacional de Cultura.
In general terms, the psce reproduces the arguments of the unctad report, emphasizing cultural diversity as a resource for the creative industries.
This meant keeping the commitment to basic principles of social policies, however, subjecting them to the market laws (hesmondhalgh, 2005).
So this new policy necessarily subverts the logic of the ministry itself, raising important questions: to what extent the MinC can safeguard its interests in front of other so powerful ministries?
In this vein, the British State offered to be a kind of a facilitator for the creative industries, providing them with all the conditions they needed to become competitive in a global market of Communi- cation and culture.


The MacBook Pro's Touch Bar just isn't that useful. Sure, its functionality changes based on the app you're in, but if you—like me—were expecting a second screen that you'd be able to customize, you're not the only one who's disappointed. You can, however, download the third party app 2Touch to create some bespoke shortcuts that will launch your favorite apps and services. With the option to preload everything you need for any situation literally at your fingertips, 2Touch might be the one app that will get you back in the habit of actually touching the Touch Bar.
After you download 2Touch, add it to your Applications folder, and start the app, you'll have to grant it additional privileges in your Accessibility settings so it can open windows in the sizes you specify. Visit System Preferences > Accessibility, and toggle on 2Touch.
The app lives on your Touch Bar along with your menu bar, where you can add and customize your Touch Bar buttons. You'll be presented with a list of available apps you can launch, along with window size preferences. You can launch multiple apps at once, configure browsers to load select webpages, and open them on multiple screens at a time.
You can have a button called "Workday" that launches Slack and your calendar app along with your browser, so you can start your day without distractions. Want a quick shortcut to movie night with your partner? Just have 2Touch open your browser and launch Netflix and Seamless simultaneously.
You can already modify some settings on the Touch Bar, though not many. If you miss the function keys, you can make them appear permanently (or temporarily by holding the fn key). You can add haptic feedback to the Touch Bar using the Haptic Touch Bar app. 2Touch feels like the missing piece for users looking to take advantage of the Touch Bar's potential. Still not enough to get you on the Touch Bar bandwagon? If you feel that strongly, then just turn it off, luddite.

ASH Awards the E. Donnall Thomas Lecture and Prize to Philip Greenberg, MD
Dylann Cohn-Emery
The American Society of Hematology has chosen Philip Greenberg, MD, to receive the 2019 E. Donnall Thomas Lecture and Prize for his work in immunotherapy.
Philip Greenberg, MD
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) has chosen Philip Greenberg, MD, to receive the 2019 E. Donnall Thomas Lecture and Prize for his work in immunotherapy.
Greenberg will present his award lecture, entitled "The Long Road to Develop Adoptive Therapy with T Cells That Can Effectively Target Acute Myeloid Leukemia [AML] and Other Malignancies" at the 61st ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition on December 9 in Orlando, Florida. His lecture will cover how getting high-dimensional data using single-cell genomics provides insight into the reasons behind successes and failures for patients, how T cells have been engineered to target AML and mediate clinical benefit, and how these studies will help create the next generation of therapies.
"It is a great honor to receive this prize, and in particular an award named after E. Donnall Thomas, MD, who was a mentor, colleague, and friend," Greenberg said in a statement. "Dr Thomas recruited me to the research group at Fred Hutch in 1976, after I had completed training in basic immunology. At the time, I told him that I thought we would eventually be able to do away with bone marrow transplantation and replace it with T cells that specifically target cancer. Now, we are getting increasingly close to making that rather brash statement a reality."
Greenburg is head of the Program in Immunology at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and a professor of medicine and immunology at the University of Washington in Seattle.
He is well known for his research on the development of T-cell adoptive immune therapy. He also created the concept, as well as the methods and technologies, with the help of lab member Stanley Riddell, MD, of isolating antigen-specific T cells in a laboratory and reproducing them to be able to observe in vivotheir antitumor activity.
His work has helped researchers understand the biology of T cells, how they function, and what could interfere with their activity. Starting with animal models, Greenberg used T-cell treatments in patients with severe viral infections, and he is now directing this approach to treat patients with AML and solid tumors in clinical trials.
"CAR T-cell therapy strategies would not be as advanced today without the vision, creativity, and scientific rigor of Dr Greenberg and his research team, and he continues to innovate and lead the evolution of these therapies," 2019 ASH president Roy Silverstein, MD, of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, stated in a press release.
Greenberg was elected into the Academy of the American Association of Cancer Research and the American Association of Immunologists in 2019. He was also received honors such as the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer's Richard V. Smalley Memorial Award and Lectureship in 2018 and the 2011 Cancer Research Institute's William B. Coley Award for distinguished research in tumor immunology.
Over the years, he has published 284 peer-reviewed publications and chapters in journals such asBlood, Nature of Communications, Nature Medicine, New England Journal of Medicine,andScience.

Organized! by Romanic® requires all new clients to complete an initial consult, but please don't clean up the clutter before this appointment because the professional organizer needs to see the way it really is to be able to help you effectively. The initial consult appointment lasts approximately 2 hours and there is a flat fee of $250 for the consult. Together, we walk through the entire home, and the organizer tells the client what changes might be helpful and gives the client a customized solution for their storage struggle. Sometimes clients are nervous and try to tell the organizer why they have organized their home the way they have, but that takes up valuable time and does not give the organizer a chance to give clients the advice for which they are paying.
Organized! by Romanic® does not peddle any product lines and has no incentive for recommending one product over another other than providing the best possible solution for each client. Some clients get all the info they need and are able to do the organizing on their own after their initial consult: Other clients cannot or do not want to do the hands-on organizing so part of the initial consult is used to create a game plan for tackling the hands-on organizing.
Organized! by Romanic® strongly prefers to schedule the initial consult on a date different from and prior to any hands-on organizing. This is because while walking through client homes, Organized! by Romanic® is making a mental note of what supplies need to be brought to the job site and what kind of safety gear may be required. For example, some times Organized! by Romanic® wears shoe protectors to protect client floors: Other times, Organized! by Romanic® wears shoe protectors to protect the professional organizer's shoes.
Because every client and every home is unique, Organized! by Romanic® creates a custom solution for each client. Many times as we walk through the home, professional organizer Sue Romanic will spot the solution in one room to a storage problem in another room. Many clients have plenty of organizing bins, boxes and baskets; they simply are not using them effectively.
Clients who are considering a closet upgrade or a kitchen or bath remodel, should mention this during the initial consultation, Organized! by Romanic® has been in countless homes after the client has already spent a lot of money on a new kitchen, closet, or bath but still is not able to put away all their belongings. An organizing consult prior to meeting with the closet, bath, or kitchen designer can save clients a lot of money in the long run. During the initial consult at no additional cost, Organized! by Romanic® will supply a quick sketch that a client can then share with the designer. Organized! by Romanic® is focused on making a space for all of your stuff, the designer is focused more on creating a beautiful design based on the product lines they offer. Organized! by Romanic® does not represent or sell any products and therefore is not limited to a single product line when creating a custom solution for you.
If a client wants to schedule hands-on organizing, the client will have to say so. Organized! by Romanic® does not pressure initial consult clients to make hands-on organizing appointments. However, if a client does schedule hands-on organizing, on a new client's first day of hands-on organizing, at the end of the first 6 hours, Organized! by Romanic® works an additional 2 hours at no cost to the client. That's Right! New Hands-On Organizing Clients Get 2 Additional Hours Of Hands-On Organizing For FREE At The End Of Their First 6-Hour Hands-On Organizing Session!
Organized! by Romanic® used to refund that $250 initial consult fee but found that to be a bookkeeping headache. If Organized! by Romanic® does not come back to do hands-on organizing, the $250 fee is fair compensation for the time, gasoline, and information provided during the consultation. Consults generally last approximately 2 hours in a single family home. It may not take as long to walk through when the client lives in an apartment or condo, but these clients still pay the $250 because on the first day that Organized! by Romanic® comes back to do 6 or more hours of hands-on organizing, these clients get that money back and then some in the form of 2 additional hours of free hands-on organizing.


Kerala PSC Secretariat Assistant exam 2015 notification & syllabus will be published in December 2014. Being one of the major test conducted by the Kerala Public Service Commission, the Secretariat Assistant exam is being held once in 3 years. As per the process, the Kerala PSC will notify for the secretariat assistant post through their official website. The notification includes the application method, qualification to apply for the written test, and last date for application.
Getting a job with the Kerala government is the dream of millions of job seekers in the state. Secretariat Assistant is such a job which will give recognition and respect in the society. The exam is being conducted to appoint selected persons in the major organizations in Kerala which include Government Secretariat, Public Service Commission, Local Fund Audit, Advocate General's Office and Anti Corruption Bureau.
The promotion scope, growth, authority and power attract youngsters to this job. As per the promotional hierarchy, one can become the Section Officer and finally reach up to the top level Special Secretary. From the post of section officer, he becomes a Gazetted Officer, a desirable Government position which is being viewed with reverence and awe.
As the Kerala PSC has decided to publish the notifications of important post once in 3 years, the Secretariat Assistant Notification will be published in December 2014. The exam will be conducted during the months of May and June 2015. As the validity of the present rank list ends on 7th April 2016, a new rank list will be published on the following day. Only 272 candidates got appointed from the previous rank list of Secretariat Assistant.
The deduction in the appointments is due to the reduction of Secretariat employees' deputation and promotion acquired by typists as Secretariat Assistants. The secretariat assistant exam is meant for candidates who have passed any of the graduation courses from any of the recognized universities in Kerala.The details about the additional qualifications will be in the new notification publishing by the Kerala PSC. As soon as the notification gets published in the web portal, candidates need to submit the application through the one time registration process.
Much effort is needed to achieve best mark in the exam. As it is a degree level examination, the question paper will have tough questions from the deep portions of the syllabus. Getting a balanced coaching from the nearby centres will motivate the candidates. Reading newspapers, rank file of Secretariat Assistant exam, text books of Social Science, Science and Mathematics up to class 10, referring previous secretariat assistant exams question papers and browsing the internet would give better result while in the exam hall.

Bipartisan bill to lift arms embargo to Cyprus introduced in US Senate
A bipartisan bill seeking to lift the arms embargo to Cyprus, which has been in place since 1987 was introduced by Democrat Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.
In a press release the two Senators say that "The Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019" would:
Lift the prohibition on arms sales to the Republic of Cyprus;
Authorise the establishment of a United States-Eastern Mediterranean Energy Centre to facilitate energy cooperation between the U.S., Israel, Greece, and Cyprus;
Authorise $3,000,000 in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) assistance for Greece;
Authorise $2,000,000 for International Military Education and Training (IMET) assistance for Greece and $2,000,000 for Cyprus.
Impede the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey, as long as Turkey continues with plans to purchase the S-400 air defence system from the Russian Federation, a purchase that would be sanctionable under U.S. law.
Require the Administration to submit to Congress a strategy on enhanced security and energy cooperation with countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as reports on malign activities by Russia and other countries in the region
"The Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019 would allow the US to fully support the trilateral partnership of Israel, Greece, and Cyprus through energy and defence cooperation initiatives – including by lifting the embargo on arms transfers to the Republic of Cyprus," the press release reads.
The legislation, it adds, "also seeks to update US strategy in recognition of consequential changes in the Eastern Mediterranean, including the recent discovery of large natural gas fields, and a deterioration of Turkey's relationship with the United States and our regional partners."
"The time has come for the US to deepen this cooperation and build on the constructive progress made by our allies to help ensure a secure Eastern Mediterranean," Menendez said, adding that "this legislation seeks to strengthen our bonds of friendship through joint efforts to promote peace, prosperity, and security for our nations."
On his part, Rubio noted that "by lifting the US Arms Embargo on Cyprus and extending necessary Foreign Military Assistance to Greece, this legislation brings forth a comprehensive approach to the stability of key regional partners."
The bill notes that "the direct sale or transfer of arms by the United States to the Republic of Cyprus would advance United States security interests in Europe by helping to reduce the dependence of the Government of Cyprus on other countries for defence-related materiel, including countries that pose challenges to United States interests around the world."
It continues noting that it is in the interest of the United States to continue to support United Nations-facilitated efforts toward a comprehensive solution to the division of Cyprus; and for the Republic of Cyprus to join NATO's Partnership for Peace program.
It also provides that "not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on Russian Federation malign influence in Cyprus, Greece, and Israel since January 1, 2017."
It further stipulates that "not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defence and the Secretary of Energy, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report listing incidents where the Exclusive Economic Zone of Cyprus or the sovereign territory of Greece in the Aegean Sea have been violated."
The Bill provides that "no F–35 aircraft purchased by Turkey may be exported, re-exported, or transferred to the Government of Turkey."
"The restrictions shall remain in effect until "the Government of Turkey formally renounces and rejects the purchase of S–400 anti-aircraft system, or any similar system, from the Russian Federation; and no elements of the S–400 or similar system are located within the territory of Turkey," it reads.
Among others the bill says that the Secretary of Energy "may establish a joint United States-Eastern Mediterranean Energy Centre in the United States leveraging the experience, knowledge, and expertise of institutions of higher education and entities in the private sector, among others, in offshore energy development to further dialogue and collaboration to develop more robust academic cooperation in energy innovation technology and engineering, water science, technology transfer, and analysis of emerging geopolitical implications, which include opportunities as well as crises and threats from foreign natural resource and energy acquisitions."
In the meantime, the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC) have welcomed the development.

AJC CEO David Harris said that at a time when the Eastern Mediterranean is emerging as a distinct and vital geopolitical region, efforts of congress to secure US leadership and bolster existing partnerships should be applauded."
"Today's Mediterranean is reclaiming much of its historic importance," said on his part Endy Zemenides, Executive Director of HALC.
"Developments in the greater Eastern Mediterranean region will effect U.S. interests in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. We applaud the leadership of Senators Menendez and Rubio. This Act will make a difference."
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. In 1987, the US placed restrictions on the transfer of arms and defensive material to Cyprus. Turkey has found a way to circumvent the arms embargo by placing tens of thousands of Turkish troops armed with American weapons in the northern part of Cyprus. The arms embargo has forced the Republic of Cyprus to purchase weapons from other nations.

At the turn of the twentieth century, more Jewish immigrants were arriving in Montreal than anywhere else on the continent. The city's small middle-class Jewish community suddenly had to meet the burial needs of many new, mostly poor, arrivals who had little affiliation with local congregations. Out of crisis, the Baron de Hirsch Cemetery, one of Canada's largest Jewish cemeteries, was established on an undeveloped expanse of swampland in the heart of the city. The author traces the growth and changing composition of the cemetery, from its response to the Jewish immigration boom to such current concerns as security, burial rituals, and modern management techniques.

ArtAffects is my story of evolution through art. It is not the whole story but an exploration of significant moments of artistic clarity. A narrative of when art revealed intention and led me to a deeper understanding of me. In this project I share my insights and welcome others to accompany me, for a time, in this mutually metamorphic cycle of inspiration and creation.
This production is not just for art mavericks or classical music lovers to contemplate the profound nature of art but for any person, regardless of education or cultural background, who seek to acquire self knowledge through art. A deeper self awareness is forever linked to a more satisfactory fulfillment of one's destiny.
In my aspirations the value of this project lies in its ability to give audiences an artistic venue of experiential space in which to contemplate a deeper sense of self from where they might grow, heal, change, inspire, create and more fully realize their path.

Gasol getting reps in like this is great for being in game shape and the only downside is that he might benefit from some rest, but this is a mostly positive trade-off for his fantasy value. As long as he doesn't suffer any relatively serious injury, owners won't have to worry too much about the potential for the Grizzlies to take a rebuilding posture.

You Are Old, Father William is a poem by Lewis Carroll that appears in his book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The poem is a parody of Robert Southey's didactic poem "The Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Them", originally published in 1799. It is recited by Alice in Chapter 5, "Advice from a Caterpillar." Alice informs the caterpillar that she has previously tried to repeat "How Doth the Little Busy Bee" and has had it all come wrong as "How Doth the Little Crocodile". The caterpillar asks her to repeat "You are old, Father William", and she recites.
"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."
"You are old," said the youth, "As I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door—
Pray, what is the reason of that?"
"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
"I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment—one shilling the box—
Allow me to sell you a couple?"
"You are old," said the youth, "And your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak—
Pray, how did you manage to do it?"
"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life."
"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose—
What made you so awfully clever?"
"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"
In the Almost Alice music collection, this poem is sung by the alternative rock band, They Might Be Giants (available on iTunes).
A man called Old Father William is mentioned in the 2009 film Malice in Wonderland.

Kangana Ranaut defends her 'India's freedom in 1947 was charity' statement
Kangana Ranaut has come out and defended herself through a series of pictures on her Instagram. The actress wrote, "Why and how can white colonists or their sympathisers get away with such nonsense in this day and age? If you try to figure it out, the answer is in my statement."
Written by: IANS
Image Source : INSTAGRAM/KANGANATEAM
Kangana Ranaut stirred up a hornet's nest recently when she said that the freedom that India attained in 1947 was given to the nation as a handout by the British. Kangana was speaking at a media summit when she gave the controversial statement saying that "India got true freedom only in 2014". Several politicians have demanded an apology from her and also made an appeal to revoke her recently conferred Padma Shri award, saying that her statement insults the sacrifice of all those freedom fighters who laid down their lives for the nation.
Now, the actress has come out and defended herself through a series of pictures on her Instagram. Her first picture is a screenshot of a BBC article that spoke about 'Why Britain owes no reparations to India'.
Captioning the post, the actress wrote, "Why and how can white colonists or their sympathisers get away with such nonsense in this day and age? If you try to figure it out, the answer is in my statement."
She adds, "It is because our nation builders did not hold the British accountable for the countless crimes they committed in India, from plundering our country's wealth to ruthlessly killing our freedom fighters to dividing our country into two parts, at the time of independence. After World War II, the British left India at their leisure, with Winston Churchill being hailed as a war hero."
Further explaining her side, Kangana states, "He was the same person who was responsible for the Bengal famine; was he ever tried in independent India's courts for his crimes? No. Cyril Radcliffe, an English white man who had never been to India before, was brought to India by the British to draw the line of Partition in just 5 weeks."
She adds, "Both the INC and the Muslim League were members of the committee that decided the terms of the Partition line drawn by the British, which resulted in the deaths of nearly a million people. Did those who died tragically gain independence? Was the British or the INC, who agreed to the Partition line, held responsible for the massacre that occurred after?"
The other pictures in the series are of a letter written by the first Prime Minister of independent India Jawaharlal Nehru and an editorial which states that India really attained freedom in 2014. The actress further writes, "There is a letter from our first Prime Minister, Shri Jawahar Lal Nehru, dated 28th April 1948, to the British Monarch, requesting British approval for the appointment of the then-Governor of West Bengal as the Governor-General of India."
She goes on to state, "The letter can be found in the second image of my post. If such a letter exists, do you believe the INC attempted to hold the British accountable for their crimes? If so, please explain how my statement is incorrect!"
"Did the freedom fighters who gave their lives for an independent India know that the British and our nation-builders would divide undivided India into two parts, resulting in the massacre of one million people? I'd like to conclude by saying that if we don't hold the British accountable for the numerous crimes committed in India, we are still disrespecting our freedom fighters. Jai Hind," the actress concluded in her post.

American Samoa also voted on Super Tuesday. Mike Bloomberg won.
Super Tuesday's American Samoa caucuses gave a small victory to Bloomberg.

Mike Bloomberg won American Samoa's Democratic caucuses on Super Tuesday.
Bloomberg, who appeared on the primary ballot for the first time on Tuesday, defeated rivals Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Tulsi Gabbard. American Samoa's caucuses were part of a slew of elections on Super Tuesday, with a massive 1,344 delegates on the line — around one-third of the total 3,979 pledged delegates.
With just six delegates at stake, American Samoa is, to be clear, a very small part of the overall count. But in a primary election that might come down to the last vote — with a real chance that no one will get the majority needed to clinch the nomination at the Democratic National Convention later this year — every delegate can matter.
A candidate needs 1,991 delegates for a majority. If no candidate gets that on the first ballot, there will be a second ballot (and potentially more) on which unelected superdelegates are able to cast a vote.
American Samoa is a US territory, not a state. Its residents aren't considered US citizens — only US "nationals." The island also doesn't participate in the general presidential election, though it does get a voice in the nominating process for both Democrats and Republicans. (It also doesn't get full representation in Congress, but similar to Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico, it does get a nonvoting delegate in the US House.)
There seems to have been no polling in American Samoa leading up to Super Tuesday, making it unclear who would win or who was even a favorite prior to the caucus. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the territory with 68.4 percent of the vote, besting Sanders's 25.7 percent.
This time around, a more divided party gave Bloomberg the victory.

U.S. births rise for first time since 2007 recession
Originally published June 16, 2015 at 9:54 pm
The nation has been in a baby recession since 2007 — a decline in births that experts blamed mainly on the economy.
MIKE STOBBE
NEW YORK — It appears the baby recession is over: Preliminary figures show U.S. births were up last year for the first time in seven years.
About 53,000 more babies were born in 2014 than the year before, a 1 percent increase. Births were up for nearly every racial and ethnic group, and there were improvements in several other key measures. Teen births hit another historic low, and there were fewer cesarean sections and preterm deliveries.
"It looks like perhaps we're seeing the turnaround that many experts have been anticipating," said Gretchen Livingston, a birth-trends expert at Pew Research Center who was not involved in the report.
The nation has been in a baby recession since 2007 — a decline in births that experts blamed mainly on the economy. It looked like it might have ended in 2013, with preliminary figures showing the number of births rising slightly.

They prepare the White House for a new president. They have 5 hours.
But the final tally showed yet another decline.
Government statisticians said they've taken extra steps to make sure the preliminary 2014 numbers hold up. Still, some experts are cautious about declaring a lasting upswing.
"I've learned not to prognosticate," said Brady Hamilton of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He's lead author of the new report, which is based on a review of nearly all birth certificates.
Highlights from the 2014 report released Wednesday:
• There were just under 4 million babies born. Births rose for white, black, Asian and Hispanic women. For some unknown reason, it fell for Native American moms.
• The birthrate for women of childbearing age rose 1 percent, to just under 63 births per 1,000 women. In 2013, the rate was 62.5 percent, the lowest it had ever been.
• The total fertility rate rose slightly, by less than 1 percent. That tells how many children a woman can be expected to have if current birthrates continue. The figure was just shy of 1.9 children last year. Experts say 2.1 is a goal if you want to keep the population at its current size.
• About 32 percent of babies were delivered through cesarean section, marking the second straight decline. In the 1980s, health officials set a goal of 15 percent, believing that many C-sections are done out of convenience or unwarranted caution.
• The preterm birthrate — delivery at less than 37 weeks — fell to a little under 10 percent, as part of a continuing decline.
• The birthrates for women in their 30s and early 40s continued to rise. The rate for women in their late 20s — who have the most babies — held steady after years of decline.
• The teen birthrate fell 9 percent, continuing a decline that started in 1991. The number of babies born to teens last year, about 249,000, is less than half the peak of nearly 645,000 in 1970.
Some experts had expected to see that decline level off at some point.
"What we have seen is quite remarkable," said Bill Albert of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
Experts attribute the decline to a range of factors, including less sex and more use of contraception. Related to that, apparently, is a change in social norms for many teens, Albert said. They are more wary of pregnancy and less likely to know someone who became pregnant as a teen or even to know someone who is the daughter of a teen mother, he suggested.
