Friedrich (around 1240 – 1310), presumably executed in Cologne, is supposedly the ancestor of the eastern branch of the family.
He was the grandchild of the alleged ancestor of the Schilling family (see family lineage).
Friedrich supposedly married the daughter of a citizen of Cologne. His son Friedrich II (mentioned in 1331) stayed in Cologne. According to our genealogist Heinar Schilling, Friedrich's son Theoderich (mentioned in documents dated 1352, 1356 and 1357) moved from Cologne to Hamburg.
This is where his grandson Albert (descendant of Theoderich's second son Heinrich) was elected mayor in 1464.
Theoderich's eldest son Friedrich (mentioned in 1396) moved from Hamburg to Braunschweig.
His grandson Georg (mentioned in 1490) was presumably buried in the cathedral of Braunschweig. On the occasion of the renovation of the cathedral in 1939 the tombstone seems to have been taken away, though there is no written evidence in Braunschweig. One of Georg's sons, Kaspar (mentioned in 1490), was supposedly engaged in business in Livonia, one of the states of the Teutonic Order at this time.

Question: Why does a woman play hard to get?
to convey that she's not easy
to appear valuable
to be certain her pursuer is really interested in her and not just trying to get into their pants
to make her pursuer chase her to feed her self-esteem and nothing more
I go into detail.
Conveying that she's not easy
When the typical woman has a romantic interest in someone, she won't want to get intimate with them right away for fear of being perceived as easy…
…so she will play hard to get to make the person appreciate that she is not easy.
Appearing valuable
Similar to #1, a woman may also play hard to get to appear valuable or difficult to attain.
The typical woman enjoys the thrill of being chased – enjoys making her pursuers jump through strings of hoops and go the extra mile to win her over.
Plus, the typical woman is always under the impression that her pursuers want to get into her pants and she will make them work hard for it.
Being certain that her pursuer is really interested in her and not just trying to get into their pants
A woman may also play hard to see her pursuer's commitment to her.
In a woman's mind, if her pursuer goes to the trouble to win her over or get her, then her pursuer really wants her.
You see, a woman's need to want to be in a romantic relationship is not only dictated by her attraction to the person she wants, but also by her level of trust.
The typical woman won't want to easily give up her goods and risk being used… so she will play hard to get to kinda test her pursuer's commitment to her.
Sure, a woman will find a person attractive and want them, but she wouldn't just give herself to them… she will want to trust them first.
Making her pursuer chase her to feed her self-esteem
Naturally, the typical woman plays hard to get to not come across as easy or cheap…
…but there are instances a woman will play hard to get to just feed her self-esteem.
Especially, the physically attractive woman.
This woman has scores of men and women pursuing her…
…she knows on an intuitive level that she holds a lot of power and that she is more in command of the dating process.
Heck, she can afford to be picky…
So all in all, this woman knows that she can toy with anyone that she wants, including giving people hope only to play hard to get…
…and she feels good simply because of the self-esteem boost she gets from that.
So, there you have it…
…why a woman plays hard to get, or why most women play hard to get.

With the March equinox only a few weeks away, it won't be long before we can all enjoy the pleasures of spring again and, if the weather permits, what can be more invigorating than a leisurely drive through the great British countryside?
In a poll of 2000 motorists last year, Shell named Britain's favourite road as the A470 that runs through Snowdonia National Park and the Brecon Beacons in Wales. Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle Road in the Peak District were a close second and third. As these roads pass through some of the finest countryside the UK has to offer, it won't surprise you to learn that in the same survey, the M25 was voted Britain's least favourite drive!
Over half of the motorists polled said that a sunny day would inspire them to go for a drive on a familiar road, a further 21% said that discovering a new place would also be reason enough. So why not hit the road this spring and enjoy the familiar sights the season has to offer from the comfort and safety of a classic Jaguar XJS?
We thought it would be an interesting idea to find out our customers' favourite roads. Tell us the name of the road, and include details of the stretch you find particularly attractive. Don't let the UK limit your choice; we know that many of our customers enjoy regular trips to the continent, so feel free to include roads in Europe as well.
If you have any photos please also send them through. Email your suggestions to sales@kwecars.com or visit our Facebook or Twitter pages. Once we have a collection of favourite roads, we'll share a list of the most popular (or unusual!).

#1,001. Shadow of a Doubt (1943)
Directed By: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Teresa Wright, Joseph Cotten, Macdonald Carey
Tag line: "A Blast of DRAMATIC Dynamite exploded right before your eyes!"
Trivia: As per its script, the title Shadow of a Doubt was supposed to be temporary, until a better one could be found
Alfred Hitchcock's 1943 film, Shadow of a Doubt, was one of the director's personal favorites, and it's easy to see why. A smartly conceived, well-acted tale about a niece who suspects her uncle of murder, Shadow of a Doubt is a masterpiece of suspense.
Charlie (Joseph Cotten) has come to Santa Rosa to visit his sister, Emma (Patricia Collinge) and her family, which includes her husband, Joseph [Henry Travers], and their teenage daughter, who also happens to go by the name of Charlie (Teresa Wright). The family welcomes Uncle Charlie with open arms, especially young Charlie, who positively adores him. But before long, Young Charlie begins to suspect that her uncle may, in fact, be the infamous "Merry Widow Killer", a murderer who marries rich widows then quickly finishes them off. Detective Jack Graham [MacDonald Carey] also considers Uncle Charlie a key suspect, yet the closer he and young Charlie get to uncovering the truth, the more nervous Uncle Charlie becomes.
Shadow of a Doubt builds tension by slowly unveiling the evidence against Uncle Charlie, all of which seems to support the notion that he's a killer; aside from the various clues Hitchcock lays out for us (like how nervous Uncle Charlie gets when he hears the "Merry Widow Waltz"), there's the nasty little speech he delivers about how husbands work their lives away, only to die and leave their money to their "silly" and "useless" wives. Yet, despite this, Joseph Cotten plays Uncle Charlie as such a likable guy that we kinda hope he's innocent. Even when Young Charlie is convinced her Uncle is trying to kill her [she falls down the stairs when one gives way below her feet, and in another scene, she's locked in the garage as toxic fumes from a running automobile fill it up], we're holding out hope he didn't actually commit these heinous crimes.
Joseph Cotten is magnificent as the usually-lovable Uncle who may or may not be hiding a deep, dark secret, and Teresa Wright is every bit his equal as the suspicious niece. Wright, who also appeared in such classics as The Best Years of Our Lives and The Men, was one of the few actresses to be nominated for three Oscars in two years, for The Little Foxes (in 1942), and nominations a year later for both Best Actress (in Pride of the Yankees) and Supporting Actress (Mrs. Miniver, for which she won the Award). What makes this so impressive is the fact these were the first three movies Teresa Wright ever appeared in (The Little Foxes marked her big-screen debut)! Shadow of a Doubt was movie #4, and her work here proved (this time beyond a shadow of a doubt) that she was an incredible talent. Her's and Cotten's performances, combined with its director's keen eye for suspense, transformed Shadow of a Doubt into one of the finest films of the 1940's, as well as one of the best movies Alfred Hitchcock ever made.

From retrenched to in-demand curtain entrepreneur in less than two years
The lockdown saw Richard Serere and his wife losing their jobs, but instead of sulking they dug in, and now everyone wants some of their curtains.

When his employers retired and shut up shop, curtain maker Richard Serere decided to go it alone.
Starting his endeavour just as lockdown hit South Africa in March last year was not the best time to end up without an income. But he did it. Just under two years after landing his first client, demand for his services is on a constant upward curve.
Serere's curtaining business has been making waves across several social media chat groups. Word of mouth has been themainstay of his marketing and, he said, it was an unintended consequence of working as hard as possible for his customers.
Serere said: "I didn't even know that people were taking pictures of my work and posting it on social media. It became a word-of-mouth machine for me and I just keep getting calls from people that have read about me or seen pictures of my work."
ALSO READ: A year later, LIFT is reaping the rewards
He could not find enough words to thank his clients for the goodwill and referrals.
Late last year, demand saw Serere train his wife and now the pair work together, at home.
"I call on all the customers, do the measurements, work on design and ultimately head back to install the curtains," said Serere.
Richard Curtains owner Richard Serere speaks about his work at his home in Johannesburg, 23 December 2021. Picture:Nigel Sibanda
He manages about three customer consultations and installations every week.
"I take time with my clients," he said. "We go shopping together for fabric, too, because I want to make sure that they buy the right kind of material and, also, at the best price possible."
When clients don't have time to shop, Serere sources swatches to suit the client's home.
Word about his work has spread far and wide and Serere recently completed jobs in Nigel and Bela-Bela, amongst others.

"I was even fortunate enough to be contracted to kit out all rooms in a hotel in Durban recently."
He said the secret to his emerging success is service.
"I am passionate about what I do and how I service my clients. If I cannot get a taxi or public transport to a consultation, I will hail an Uber. I will do whatever it takes … to give joy with a finished product worth looking at."
"I focus just on curtains. I want to be the best at what I do, and perfection comes with specialisation."

Laura Whitmore has returned to Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals after she missed last week's show due to an ankle injury.
The presenter, 31, who was reportedly unable to stand due to the intense pain, has been given the green light to carry on her rehearsals with professional partner Giovanni Pernice ahead of this week's live show.
'Back to training....I'm quite a bit behind and being very careful. But will try my best guys!' the blonde beauty promised as she took to Twitter on Wednesday.
Doctors told Laura to give the live show a miss last Saturday, fearing that she could do 'permanent damage' to her ankle, which left her wincing in pain .
And the Irish star was given permission by bosses to miss the show, but left her worrying about her dancing prospects.
However, she fears regular training sessions could cause the joint to flare up again: 'The fear is, if it's not fully recovered it could get inflamed again. We have a lot to catch up on but I'm not ready to throw the towel in just yet.
Doctors believe Laura's injury stemmed from too much jiving - the dance she was learning for last week's show - and were concerned she'd ripped the ligament.
She explained: 'I was diagnosed with myotendinous strain of the right flexor hallucis longus muscle (sounds like a Harry Potter spell) caused by overuse through training and repeating one particular dance step.
'I was told by the physiotherapist to stop putting pressure on my foot straight away as so much fluid had built up and there was a risk if I kept going I would tear the ligament.
'She's seen two physios and two medics over the past 24 hours and at 4.15 today show bosses took the decision she could not perform,' an insider told the Sunday Mirror.
'It is really inflamed. She's had to keep it elevated and she's being given pain killers.
'She is absolutely gutted. She's been in floods of tears because she was so excited to be performing,' the source added.
MailOnline has contacted Laura's representatives for comment.
Speaking on the show with dance partner Giovanni Pernice, she revealed how 'gutted' she was to be missing out.
And taking to Twitter today, the Irish beauty said: 'Absolutely Devastated... It was a decision taken out of my hands. If it was my choice, I'd be on the dance floor doing my jive with Gio.
'This was by far my favourite dance. We all train really hard. All of us dancing have aches and pains and I didn't realise the severity of my injury until it was too late. I'm sorry to let you all down.
Strictly bosses confirmed the news this afternoon and said the dancing couple will get a pass into next week's show.
The statement said: 'Laura Whitmore will not perform on tonight's Strictly Come Dancing due to an ankle injury sustained earlier in the week.
'She has been checked by a doctor and the medical team on site and they have advised that she rests her ankle and does not dance this weekend.
'As per the rules of Strictly Come Dancing - because Laura and Giovanni cannot dance on tonight's show - they will receive a bye through to next week and the show will continue with a public vote as per usual.

It's Easier Said Than Done, But Why It's Always Better to Just Go for the Damn Knockout Every Time
by Mark Lorenzana
This year alone we've seen several controversial decisions in boxing: Jeff Horn winning an upset over Manny Pacquiao in Australia, Wisaksil Wangek Rungvisai dealing the once-invincible Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez his first loss (and his second, via knockout, in the rematch but that's another story—or blog post), and Saul Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin settling for a draw (after an exciting fight that lived up to its expectations as one of the most must-see bouts of 2017 between two of the best middleweight fighters in the game today).
But that's the thing, and there goes the rub: the reality is, boxing is a very difficult sport to judge, as everything is subject to one's own personal interpretation (add to that the fact that personal biases also come into play).
For instance, I remember back when Manny Pacquiao fought Tim Bradley for the first time; I scored that fight a close victory for Bradley and in the immediate aftermath posted my thoughts on social media. I was horrified and aghast, however, when I saw the reactions on social media/blog posts from boxing analysts immediately after the fight—they claimed that Pacquiao, indeed, should have won.
Majority of the boxing writers saw Pacquiao winning that bout, with only a couple of scribes giving the nod to Bradley, one of whom is highly respected veteran boxing journalist and author Thomas Hauser. To be honest, it made me feel a little better that a writer of Hauser's caliber got it "wrong." I was still contributing to boxing websites at that time and was even a resident boxing/MMA writer in one of the sports websites in the Philippines when that happened (and also ran, on the side, an award-nominated sports blog that is now since defunct), so I was understandably upset. I immediately put out a blog post explaining what happened and why I thought Bradley won that fight and admitted that it was an off night for me, scoring-wise. Regardless, the "damage" was already done—both to my nonexistent credibility as an unknown boxing/MMA "analyst" and to my ego as a "writer."
So let me ask you: in a fight between a defensive-minded counterpuncher and an aggressive brawler or boxer-puncher, which style are you going to favor? Are you going to lean toward that aggressive, come-forward fighter who throws many punches, more punches than the defensive fighter, even if those punches miss a lot and hit nothing but air and/or the opponent's arms or gloves? Or are you going to lean toward the counterpuncher, especially if he lands the cleaner blows, even though he doesn't throw as much as his more aggressive opponent?
Take the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight. I know quite a few knowledgeable boxing fans from the Philippines who believed that Pacquiao should have won that fight, even though he wasn't the unstoppable whirlwind of years ago who humiliated Oscar de la Hoya, one-punch-kayoed Ricky Hatton, TKO'd Miguel Cotto, punished the bigger and stronger Antonio Margarito in the course of 12 brutal rounds (and broke his orbital bone), made Sugar Shane Mosley and Joshua Clottey forget about their own offense just to survive, and broke Juan Manuel Marquez's nose in the last fight of their epic four-fight saga before getting knocked out himself because of his recklessness. Pacquiao had stalked Mayweather the entire fight, and Mayweather being Mayweather fought a brilliant defensive fight for 12 rounds, landing the cleaner shots even though he threw fewer punches. I scored that fight for Mayweather, who unsurprisingly won via unanimous decision. Immediately after the fight, when Pacquiao was interviewed in the ring by HBO's Max Kellerman, Manny said he thought he won the fight, to Kellerman's surprise. Freddie Roach, for his part, was more diplomatic but hinted that his fighter indeed lost the fight.
With the Pacquiao-Horn fight, I gave Pacquiao the nod by two rounds, as I felt that it was indeed a close fight but that the Filipino did enough to retain his belt. Immediately after the fight, though, there were howls of protests that Pacquiao should have won a wide decision (I didn't understand that, though, as, like I said, I felt that it was a close fight). Bob Arum, for his part, thought that it could have gone either way (although it's understandable for Arum to feel that way because he promotes both fighters); and Freddie Roach, although he said he thought that Pacquiao should have won, never protested the decision vehemently and even went so far as to suggest that Manny's retirement isn't that far off, perhaps believing that his prized pupil could have done more but was hampered by the physical deterioration in the ring brought about by age (after all, when was the last time Pacquiao looked like the relentless dynamo of yesteryears that gobbled up his opponents?), his senate "responsibilities" that limited his training and his sparring, and the comforts of the high life that almost always affects a boxer's hunger to train and to destroy his opponent (a problem that Roach has actually harped on for several years now, what with Pacquiao's penchant for letting the judges decide the outcome of his bouts, with his killer instinct seemingly evaporating into thin air after his impressive TKO win over Miguel Cotto an eternity ago). The point is, perhaps the judges in the Pacquiao-Horn fight felt that the latter's aggressiveness and, yes, his seemingly "dirty" tactics helped neutralize the former's once-impressive offensive attacks—indeed, aside from a ninth round where Horn was close to hitting the canvas, Pacquiao for the most part was often stymied by the bigger, stronger, and "dirtier" fighter who didn't mind taking a page out of the MMA stylebook and repeatedly used his forearms, shoulders, head, and even his elbows to his advantage.
With the Rungvisai-Chocolatito fight, I scored the fight for Chocolatito but also admitted to myself that the Nicaraguan, one of my favorite fighters of recent years, didn't look as sharp as he had been, especially when he was still campaigning in the lower weights and blasting all comers, making a case for himself as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. In that fight, the bigger and stronger Rungvisai never let Gonzalez intimidate him and, like Horn, decided to make it hard for Chocolatito by resorting to borderline illegal tactics to frustrate the Nicaraguan. And, to the judges at least, it worked—they thought the Thai did enough that night to wrest the titles away from Gonzalez. Perhaps the judges thought that Gonzalez, being the brilliant fighter that he was, should have been his always-impressive self and that anything less than Chocolatito blasting away Rungvisai was not enough for him to retain his belts? Was Chocolatito unfairly judged because of the lofty standards that he set for himself and that, because he failed to live up to these standards, the opponent was judged "good" enough and therefore deserving enough of the win?
With the Canelo-Golovkin fight, I thought that Canelo won by a couple of rounds although I don't think that a draw is unreasonable, as well as a scorecard that awarded Golovkin a win by two or three rounds, because the fight I saw was a close fight wherein GGG was the aggressor throughout but with Canelo banking on his better boxing skills, much-improved movement, and superb counterpunching to land the cleaner blows. (I have a problem with Adalaide Byrd's card, though, that only saw Golovkin winning two rounds; it's a fucking travesty that deserves its own separate blog post). With that said, a lot of people also saw Golovkin winning by a wide margin, because of the way they perceive how a fighter should fight in order to win: go forward and attack, attack, attack. This is not a wrong way of seeing things, as it is also not wrong to favor the fighter who, although is backpedaling and moving and counterpunching, lands the cleaner blows and is perceived to be outboxing his opponent. Personally, I thought Golovkin missed a lot and wasted a lot of punches.
Boxing decisions will continue to be controversial as long as the judges themselves have their own perception of what a winning fighter should do in order to deserve the nod. After all, we all have our own way of seeing things (and not seeing things, for that matter)—even the most seasoned boxing judge, who's had hundreds of title fights under his/her belt.
But Juan Manuel Marquez knew the perfect remedy for that, though, after being on the short end of the stick three times against Manny Pacquiao—just go for the damn knockout.

Q: Are there any dangers in working outside in a storm? It just started storming today. Am I in any danger of getting struck by lighting if I go outside and do stuff? If so, what are the effects of getting struck?

A: No it isn't dangerous. The only effect of storms AFAIK is to charge up Battery packs if you have lightning rods placed. Otherwise it's considered as normal rain for fishing.

A: Actually, some of your crops can die in a thunderstorm, I suspect. Although, I didn't actually see the lightning hitting the specific crops, there was no other reason for the crops to have died, they had been watered every day, I had scarecrows very close to those crops, and they were warded off from the outside.

Home Article See Dick Run, Part II
See Dick Run, Part II
by Garance Franke-Ruta
Earlier this week, The New York Times reported that John Kerry and Dick Gephardt met as part of Kerrys soon-to-be concluded vice-presidential search. The reasons for the meeting may well have been cosmetic -- sending a signal to Gephardt's union backers in the Teamsters and elsewhere -- but the outcome of the meeting is of grave importance, because there is no single act more likely to instantly transform John Kerry into Bob Dole than choosing Gephardt as his running mate.
The choice of Gephardt would reinforce every negative stereotype about Kerry in current circulation while muddying the picture of what he actually stands for. Put Gephardt on the ticket and suddenly, instead of an experienced moderate leader with a progressive bent, you have a pair that can be caricatured as two aging, pro-tax creatures of Washington, both of whom backed the president's war in Iraq for purely opportunistic reasons and both of whom want to transform the American healthcare system with a massive government give-away instead of balancing the budget. Or so some will say, and be able to argue with newfound plausibility.
Nor does Gephardt bring those benefits to the ticket that one might typically want. It's not entirely clear that he can deliver his home state of Missouri, and there's even less polling data suggesting he would bring an electoral bump to the Kerry campaign nationwide. Indeed, the latest data point -- the latest six data points -- we have say that Dick Gephardt is an electoral loser. Under his leadership, the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 1994, and then failed to regain it in four successive elections. Undeterred by party losses in 1996, 1998, and 2000, he took them to defeat again in 2002 -- the first mid-term election in which a first-term president's party gained seats since 1934 -- and then left his leadership post to run in the 2004 presidential primary, which he once again, inevitably, lost.
Gephardt didn't just lose the Democratic primary. He was trounced. In Iowa. He came in fourth in a state he had won 16 years earlier and in which he'd maintained a polling lead or strong second for most of the year. His collapse was more spectacular than Howard Dean's -- and more total, revealing that not only did he have no base in Iowa, he had no base of support outside that state that could buoy him when he lost it.
John Edwards lost with grace, withdrawing from the race after mounting a surprisingly vigorous challenge against Kerry in the South and inspiring many Democrats with his powerful message about "two Americas." Dean lost, in effect, in a torrent of sound, his scream speech in Des Moines putting the penultimate nail in the coffin built by his Iowa implosion. But he chugged along with persistence and newfound humility before finally giving up the ghost of his campaign in Madison. Lieberman's withdrawal from the race was as unremarkable as the Lieberman campaign itself, and Wesley Clark withdrew from the race the same way he entered it, in a chaos of decency and confusion.
There is always something poignant about a losing campaign, as with Clark stopping voters at a polling place outside Memphis to tell them, "See, that's my name on the ballot," as dusk fell and aides tried to suppress their sniffles around him, knowing the outcome was already set. But Gephardt's decline was perhaps the saddest of them all.
In the final days of the Iowa contest, Gephardt was a lackluster campaigner, incapable of drawing an audience and equally incapable of inspiring one. His union friends were loyal to the very end, but he was a one-trick pony. In the end most of his allies in Iowa seemed to be union members who'd come in from out of state. The working-class energy was all with Edwards; when the exit polls came in, Kerry had won the union households tally, while Edwards and Gephardt ran even. The difference was that both Edwards and Kerry also did well with non-union households, while Gephardt drew only about a third as much support from non-union caucus-goers as he did from the house of labor. Nor were all unions his supporters during the primary season; the most rapidly growing and powerful national unions, AFSCME and SEIU, did not back Gephardt. In the end it was the man who had fewer formal ties to labor who beat the two labor-backed candidates, Gephardt and Dean.
Looking back at my notes from caucus night, I found these quick summaries about the precinct captains for each candidate in the caucus I attended: "Gephardt: old. Dean: hip. Kerry: blonde. Edwards: middle-aged."
And that about sums it up. Gephardt supporters in Iowa tended to be retirees, while Kerry and Edwards attracted voters in the prime of life, between 30 and 64 years old -- the kind of people you need to win across the country. Twenty-somethings, who went for Dean, have never been a substantial portion of the electorate. And while union workers represent a big chunk of it -- 26 percent in 2000, according to the National Annenberg Election Survey -- they represent a small and shrinking fraction of the working public and voting-age population. Only 8.5 percent of private-sector workers are in unions, and 37.5 percent of government workers, according to the AFL-CIO. An even smaller group of voting-age people are unionized, just seven percent in 2002.
Now, unions have done a fantastic job of on-the-ground organizing in recent years and the Democratic Party would be suffering even more than it is without them, but it seems unlikely that Kerry will really need Gephardt in order to encourage high union turnout and labor organizing in 2004; George Bush's labor policies are enough. Even the Teamsters have already endorsed Kerry.
America needs a candidate not only for the unions, but for the rest of the country, people who don't identify themselves as workers -- our wannabe middle-class, those with unstable, crappy jobs, who can't understand why they can never get ahead of their bills, are forever paying excessive credit card fees, and don't have adequate health insurance.
Already I hear grumbling from party faithful that insomuch as Kerry has yet to connect with the nation, they'd find it that much harder to drag themselves to the polls for a Kerry-Gephardt ticket. Gephardt is the opposite of an inspiring choice; his presence on the ticket would be actively enervating.
Further, Gephardt uniquely has the potential to alienate both centrists and those on the leftmost edges of the party. Some prominent New Democrats tell me they're backing Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack out of fear for how Edwards' warm populism will mesh with Kerry's more cerebral grab for the political center. Double that worry with Gephardt, who they definitely oppose. To many of them, Gephardt is the last of the big-spending liberals. His primary campaign rhetoric was more protectionist and fiery than was Edwards'; his gargantuan healthcare plan was completely politically unrealistic in today's deficit-burned economy, even were a future president to have a Democratic Congress to work with.
Most importantly, Gephardt is the single Democrat most associated with enabling President Bush's intervention in Iraq. With the Democratic base and independent voters increasingly turning against that war and seeing the intervention's costs as having outweighed its benefits, and with the entire national-security justification for the war having collapsed, choosing the Democrat who did the most to get us into this mess seems like a bad move. If Nader were not in the race, it might be a different story. But so far, it seems that Nader is already drawing more support than he did in 2000.
Furthermore, Gephardt and Dean may have made up by the end of the primaries, but during his campaign to destroy Dean, Gephardt was responsible for the only unforgivable act of the entire primary season. Gephardt's cronies put together a 527 committee that hid its donors and ran a TV advertisement in South Carolina effectively comparing Howard Dean to Osama bin Laden. There are few lines any longer in politics, but Gephardt's allies crossed a pretty big one. Most people have probably forgotten this ad, but -- trust me here -- many Dean supporters have not. Rather than bringing the leftmost wing of the party back into the fold, a Gephardt candidacy would drive anti-war voters and not a few former Deaniacs right into the waiting arms of Ralph Nader. That he'd be able to do this while simultaneously turning off moderates and failing to rouse anyone outside of the unions would be a neat trick, indeed.
"I'm happy to do it if he wants me to do it," the Gephradt told The Associated Press before meeting with Kerry. "I'm equally happy to not do it, and just help in other ways."
Gephardt has served his party and his country nobly in the past. He really has. But the best he can do right now is to know that it's time to step aside.

A blog for event professionals & attendees who love to push the boundaries of each experience.
How Can I Really Change the Industry?
The event industry is not the easiest place to make a change. It takes a lot of hard work to change an industry that is set in its ways. As a result, most people will never make a change.
Dylan Shinholser, reached out to Cassandra Costello, the CEO of Moonlab Productions, to ask her to be on, 'Mastering the Event Business.' Cassandra shares her thoughts on how the event industry will make a true change with the help of the industry's most influential people.
Introducing: Cassandra Costello
Cassandra Costello is the CEO of Moonlab Productions. Moonlab Productions is a unique agency that offers a full service production team as well as a design team that specializes in live and virtual events. Cassandra and her team become an internal extension to their clients as they create the most memorable events.
The Early Stages Of Her Career
Dylan is especially excited to have a female join him at this event. To kick things off, he wanted to know a little bit about Cassandra's background, who she is, and where she comes from.
"I always knew I wanted to get into events, like, when I was little I actually worked a lot of events with my grandfather growing up so we were like, doing the local air show, the jazz festival, all of the parades and then as I got older, I was always producing these epic parties in my backyard."
She continued to develop her craft as she grew older. "I moved to L.A. from Wisconsin…My degree was in visual communications. So, I learned a little bit about everything that I needed to apply in the event industry from, like, drafting, graphic design, lighting design, prop design, and a little bit of fabrication work…Then of course some marketing."
The early years of Cassandra's career were vibrant with variety and exploration. "So, I started very young…My first job I worked for a Hollywood event agency. I was a production assistant but kind of wore many hats there…Over the years, my career kind of grew because I started jumping…I wanted to see more of the corporate end. So, I started doing marketing event tours, um, traveling around the country doing basically the same event in different markets…I eventually moved to, um, a larger agency where we did very high end environmental design and trade booth design."
Women in the Event Industry
Dyan was dying to know why it was so difficult for him to find more female CEOs in the event industry. So, he asked Cassandra for her insight on the matter.
"I think there are a lot of variables for me. I grew up around guys. I actually used to race BMX when I was younger. So, I raced against the boys, traveling with the boys, beating the boys. So…I always saw myself as equal, if not better than some of them."
It takes more than talent to be successful. Luckily, Cassandra had that extra push to keep her encouraged. "I luckily had a lot of support…Not only through my childhood…through college…but through my career and in addition, the same thing goes with my old bosses. A lot of them gave me, like, a lot of empowerment…to run with it…I was always supported but also…I've worked with a lot of very powerful women as well."
Cassandra celebrates working with both men and women. She also understands the strengths that women bring to the event industry. "I am all about that girl power, always have…I think men and women have different traits and strong suits but, um, I think women entrepreneurs in our industry…have a special touch because…we have not only the organizational background and what not but the creativity, the compassion…There's just a really beautiful approach to it."
An effective leader has the responsibility to balance confidence and humility. "In the very early days of my career, especially, when I was in the trade show world…It's pretty male dominated….It was rough, like, for the first couple years but then…They realized I knew what I was doing and I'm open to learning and I'm open to hearing…and that's how I grew, just being open but also having to crack the whip when needed….I always try to be solution driven."
Female Employees At Moonlab Productions
Dylan jokingly admits to "stalking" Moonlab Productions because he admires the work they do. Yet, he noticed that a majority of the employees are female. Dylan would like to know if this is a coincidence or did Cassandra do this intentionally.
Cassandra addresses the question with confidence and a sense of pride. "I'd say, 75% of our company is women which is great…I love guys on our team too..It's so wonderful seeing, like, strong powerful women…working on my team doing, like, epic stuff together."
It was only by chance that Moonlab Productions hired more female employees than men. "As we have interviewed over the years, most of our candidates are women when it comes to production roles. There are very few men that I've interviewed in a producer role…Which is our strong suit."
We all know that CEOs have a laundry list of responsibilities. Dylan asked Cassandra to break down her day-to-day tasks on a typical work week.
"I kind of have my hands in all departments at our company. We are pretty small. There's 14 of us…I'm running the operations with our team…running the business, project management and I'm very heavily involved…supporting my production team, and like, cross check documents and budgets…and then in creative as well, I'm pretty heavily involved with the conceptualization phases."
There is a secret to sharing the workload within a company. "I think it's super important, especially when you're a small agency that the team dynamic is, like, very fluid. So, our team is extremely close. We work so well together and I'm so proud of all of them…They are my family. I can't even describe how beautiful the collaboration is and how dedicated they are."
A great team is never self-made. It is dependent on proper development and guidance. "Once you know there's somebody who's in a position that you know can grow pretty quickly and kind of level up…I always, like, hyper focus on those goals for them so they can get there."
The value of having a great team is immeasurable to Cassandra. She is glad to help team members develop within her company for the greater good. "I can step back and focus on business development and just the larger projects…I can step back out of the day-to-day a little more because I really do want my team to…do things turn key and without me having to be there."
A healthy work-life balance is essential to growing and scaling any business. "Over the years, I've been stretched pretty thin…I've had my hand in so many pots…The last year I've really focused on, like, stepping back…disconnecting after hours and not working over the weekends…Taking a vacation where my cell phones turned off."
Tips and Tricks to Mastering the Event Business
Being a CEO requires a ton of work, organization, and time. Dylan is curious to know how she does it all!
"Project management software…has been a life changer. So, throughout the pandemic…our team actually doubled…We have teammates, like, west coast, midwest and east coast. So, everyone's working on different time zones…As the timezone shift throughout the day…We can…task something off to another employee to review and then the next morning it's, like, completed. So, it's a really nice workflow."
A healthy work-life balance is a personal responsibility. "Work life balance is definitely key because, ya know, we've all experienced burnout…Utilize your normal working hours, take care of yourself. You need it to refresh, get reinspired…so you can bounce back when needed…That is definitely the long term key. Just figure out that work-life balance so you can show up for your team everyday and your clients."

Cassandra is an extremely talented and driven businesswoman who is constantly inspiring others with her vision and ability to grow and succeed in the event industry.

Redefining how the world experiences events


A class-action lawsuit filed against a leading Westchester brokerage accuses the firm of using "bait-and-switch" tactics to lure clients into forfeiting their right to dedicated representation.
The suit alleges that Houlihan Lawrence, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate that is active in Westchester, Fairfield, Dutchess and Putnam counties, failed to fully disclose the details of its dual-agency policy and other conflicts of interest. Accusations that the agency categorically denies.
In a dual-agent transaction, one agent or agency represents both the buyer and seller. Because these arrangements can negate an agent's negotiating incentives, brokers are required by law to disclose the risks and downsides involved.
Filed by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, Pamela Goldstein v. Houlihan/Lawrence Inc. claims the brokerage failed to educate thousands of clients on the specifics of its dual agency arrangements since at least 2011. It seeks restitution for commission payments and legal fees for all impacted parties.
Last year, Pamela Goldstein, a Westchester-based lawyer, purchased a home in White Plains using Houlihan Lawrence as its buyer's agent.
Unaware that her buyer's agent both worked for and was related to the seller's agent on the other end of the transaction, Goldstein said she feels she was unfairly pressured into a bidding war for the property, which she ultimately purchased for $40,000 more than the asking price.
Although Goldstein is the only plaintiff named in the complaint, a spokesman said Boies Schiller Flexner has reached out to other former Houlihan Lawrence clients and been contacted by others in the days since the filing was announced.
The suit alleges that the agency breached its fiduciary duties to its clients and used ill-gotten gains to fuel its ascendance to the top of New York's northern suburban real estate market.
William Ohlemeyer, another partner at Boies Schiller Flexner, said he hopes the class-action suit will discourage other agencies from resorting to similar measures in the future.
"This suit seeks to ensure that, going forward, no homebuyer or seller in the tri-county area enters into a dual-agent transaction without fully understanding that they are giving up their right to be represented by an agent who is loyal to them—and only to them—throughout the entire transaction," Ohlemeyer said.


Radiotherapy for lung cancer uses x-rays to kill cancer cells. It is one of the common treatments used in lung cancer. It may also be given as a part of combined treatment with surgery or chemotherapy. Generally, radiotherapy is given from outside the chest by directing x-rays to the required area. In some cases, radiotherapy can also be given by putting a small amount of radiation directly inside the lung.
During the treatment, the patient lies on the examination table and a radiation therapy machine targets the chest area. The radiation therapist ensures that it is correctly placed and the session takes about 10-20 minutes.
The three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy 3D-CRT uses special computer programs to map the location of tumor. It makes it less likely to damage the normal cells and tissues.
In Intensity Modulated radiation therapy, the radiation therapist utilizes a computer-driven machine to move around the patient. It aims at the tumor from several angles to cure the treatment preciously.
Radiation therapy is delivered depending on the type and severity of lung cancer. Palliative radiation treatment usually involves 1 to 10 treatments and the course includes somewhere between 20-33 treatments which are spread over 4-6 weeks.
Side effects from radiation therapy vary from person to person depending on the type of treatment and the general fitness of the patient.
The common side effects involved with radiotherapy include shortness of breath and cough, fatigue, skin changes and difficulty in swallowing. The therapy may cause inflammation of the lungs. One may feel tired after radiation therapy. Tiredness can last for a number of weeks and patients should take it easy and take proper rest.


FC Barcelona's Liga campaign begins this weekend, and having won 14 of their last 20 opening fixtures, there are plenty of reasons to feel confident that they'll get off to another positive start.
FC Barcelona have started seven of the last Liga seasons at the Camp Nou, with an almost perfect record of six wins and just one draw in 2002 against Atlético Madrid in what was Víctor Valdés' debut match for the club.
Last season, in Tito Vilanova's first game in charge, Barça stormed to 5-1 victory against Real Sociedad. Puyol, Messi (2), Pedro and Villa got the goals that night.
Tata Martino's first official fixture at the helm of FC Barcelona will be at the Camp Nou against Levante. The last time the Valencia based side visited the stadium, in game 32 of last season, Cesc Fàbregas's goal in the 82ndminute split the sides to win three valuable points on course to Barça's 22nd Ligae title.

The other day I had an exchange of views with one of my galleries which got me thinking about their changing role. The gallery in question had asked most of their artists a while ago to collect their work in order that they could "stock take". Then this week I had a call saying someone wanted to buy one of my prints and could I send one out to the gallery.
This put me in an interesting position. I am actually a great supporter of the gallery system and my view is that I pay my commission in order that they stock my work, display it and promote it to would-be buyers and then handle the sale and any logistics. That seems to me a fair bargain.
For the same reason, I have never been keen on internet gallery sites as it seems to me they do very little to earn their commission and I can just as easily sell off my own site as off their's.
So it was interesting when a conventional gallery asked me to take back my prints, but wants to keep me on their "database" so they can sell my work if the opportunity occurs. To my mind, this is an unwelcome development. Galleries should stick to their role promoting artists and their work and in return can expect the loyalty of their artists. Moving in the internet selling direction risks undermining this relationship of trust.
My new print in progress….
Sadly my moment in the sun is over – the RA Summer Exhibition has finished. I did manage to take this rather hurried snapshot of my red dots, though, as a little momento….


AJ-Can you give us a brief overview of your basic marketing strategy and philosophy?

Delaware House Bill 295 was signed into law on July 1. The law provides that if a commercial entity seeks to dispose of records containing consumers' personal identifying information, the commercial entity must take reasonable steps to destroy or arrange for the destruction of such records by shredding, erasing, or otherwise destroying or modifying the personal identifying information in those records to make it unreadable or indecipherable. Because Delaware is such a popular state for incorporation, this new law could impact a large number of companies.
"Personal identifying information" means a consumer's first name or first initial and last name in combination with any of the following data elements that relate to the consumer, when either the name or the data elements are not encrypted: social security number, passport number, driver's license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, financial services account number, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, tax or payroll information or confidential health care information including all information relating to a patient's health care history, diagnosis, condition, treatment, or evaluation.
The law does not apply to financial institutions that are subject to the privacy and security provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; health insurers or health care facilities that are subject to and in compliance with the privacy and security provisions in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; and consumer reporting agencies that are subject to and in compliance with the Federal Credit Reporting Act. The law also does not apply to any government, governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality.
The law provides a right of action for consumers who incur actual damages due to a reckless or intentional violation of the law.

Servius Fulvius Flaccus was a member of the Roman gens Fulvia.

He came from the Roman plebs family Fulvia and was consul in 135 BC. He put down an uprising among the Ardiaei in Illyria. Cicero described him as a literary and elegant man. He was, however, accused of incest and was defended by Gaius Curio.

These included fruit cake, Anzac biscuits and some Sticky Date Cookies from the supermarket.
They TASTE unbelievable, just aren't very pretty. Anyway, I hope you give them a try, you'll be pleased you did!
Makes: 16-24 cookies depending on size.
Place dates, coconut oil and honey into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat.
Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins.
While that's cooking, combine almond flour, coconut flour and vanilla powder in a bowl.
Remove date mixture from the heat and stir in baking soda.
Stir date mixture into flours.
Scoop heaped tablespoons of mixture and roll into balls.
Flatten onto baking trays with palm of hand and cook in oven for 10 mins. (Keep an eye on them, don't overcook).
I like mine stored in the fridge.
I found these last night and they are crying out for me to make them. And am feeling in the need for a bit of cake/biscuit MIGHT just have to make them tonight!!!!! Mmmmmm. Have you got an Anzac biscuit recipe at all? If so would love it.
Am making these now!! Just made 1 small change - butter instead of the honey and the coconut oil. I don't think it needs extra sweetness due to the dates but just needs the moisture!! Will report back how they go. The kids are loving the smell of the dates cooking. p.s I guessed that the baking powder went in with the dates as I couldn't see where it was added etc.
oh please ignore my comment about the baking powder - just saw it! DOH!!!!
Hi Kate, your subs sound great. I'd love to hear how they turn out. Hope you love them!
I just made these for my husband and myself. Ohmygosh good!
I made a few changes just for taste preferences-- I used butter instead of coconut oil, a tiny bit of molasses for flavor (it doesn't bother me, but obviously this may not work for some people) I added pecan pieces and a little unsweetened shredded coconut, about 1/4 cup more dates than the recipe called for, and slightly less honey. I was skeptical of their stickiness when they came out of the oven as they looked dry on top, but they have the most pleasant sticky datey middle. And so easy! Keeping this one close at hand!
These are soooo delicious! We love them! Does anyone by chance have the nutritional value for the recipe??

Looking Through The Shades [LP]
Artist: Glitterer
1. The Race
3. Anxious Eyes
6. Of More Being
7. Put Ourselves Away
8. Building

11. The News
12. Digging In The Trash

14. Distraction
Looking Through The Shades, is Glitterer's debut full-length album, featuring Ned Russin, bassist/vocalist of Title Fight. This is Glitterer all glown up. Now there are live drums (twin brother Ben did the honours) and dopamine-releasing fuzzy guitars to go with the synths, the bass, and the voice. Now there's a full 14-song tracklist to luxuriate in. Produced by Alex Giannascoli and Arthur Rizk (Code Orange, Power Trip, Sumerlands) the album delivers Glitterer's best-yet sonics and songs. The lyrics are still insouciantly tortured, in a reluctant-college-boy kind of way, the choruses are still obscenely catchy, and the arrangements still carry not so much as an ounce of excess fat. From the saturated distortion of the opener, "The Race" ("I wish I could look at your life and know it's mine"), through the road-weary "1001" ("I sang 1,000 songs / didn't want to sing again") and the vox-and-bass-only Side B outlier "The News" ("I used to be original"), the listener is simultaneously satiated and left wanting more.


Multi-channel audio has become mainstream and manufacturers have developed many types of basic and more sophisticated technologies like wireless surround sound speakers, virtual surround sound to simplify the installation of home theater kits. I will look at the newest trends to see which devices actually work. I will also give some advice for picking the best components.
The majority of recent TVs will be installed as a multi-channel audio system. While traditionally TVs would have built-in stereo speakers, these days a number of external speakers are used to let the viewer experience surround sound. The most commonly used 5.1 surround sound format requires setting up a total of 6 loudspeakers. These are one center speaker, two front side speakers, two rear speakers and a subwoofer. The more recent 7.1 standard increases this number to 8 by adding two extra side speakers.
For that reason, home theater setups have turn out to be pretty complicated. Running wires to remote loudspeakers also is often undesirable due to aesthetic reasons. Vendors have recently introduced new products and technologies. These products were created to help simplify the installation of home theater kits.
One well-known choice for doing away with wires is the use of a Appleanniestogo.com kit. Another approach is creating so-called virtual speakers by applying signal-processing to the sound and introducing phase shifts and special cues to those audio components that would typically be broadcast by the remote loudspeakers. Since the signal processing is based on how the human hearing detects the origin of audio, the audio components which underwent signal processing can be mixed with the front speaker components and broadcast by the front loudspeakers. Due to the signal processing, the viewer is tricked into assuming the audio is coming from virtual remote surround speakers.
Virtual surround avoids the remote loudspeakers and simplifies the setup and also eliminates long speaker cord runs. On the other hand, it also has a drawback. The form of each human's ear is somewhat different. Therefore everybody processes sound in a different way. Because the signal processing is based on a standard human ear model, virtual surround will not work equally well for everybody depending on how much the viewer varies from the standard model.
A different solution for eliminating long speaker wire runs is to make use of wireless surround sound kits or wireless speakers. A wireless product contains a transmitter and one or a number of wireless amplifiers. The transmitter connects to the source. The wireless amplifiers connect to the remote loudspeakers. Customarily the transmitter part will have amplified loudspeaker inputs and line-level inputs. This provides freedom to connect to each type of source. A transmitter volume control helps take full advantage of the dynamic range and eliminates clipping of the sound inside the transmitter.
Whereas a number of wireless speaker products have a wireless amplifier that connects to two speakers, other devices offer individual wireless amplifiers for every speaker. The most basic wireless systems employ FM transmission. FM broadcast is prone to noise and sound degradation. More advanced systems utilize digital audio transmission to perfectly preserve the original audio. To make certain that all loudspeakers are in sync in a multi-channel application, make certain that you pick a wireless system that has an audio latency of a few milliseconds at most. If the latency is higher than 10 ms then there will be an echo effect which will deteriorate the surround sound. A number of wireless devices work at 5.8 GHz which offers the advantage of less competition from other wireless devices than systems employing the crowded 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Another method, which is often referred to as sound bars utilizes side-reflecting speakers. In this case the audio for the remote loudspeakers will be broadcast by individual loudspeakers positioned at the front at an angle and reflected by walls as to appear to be originating from besides or behind the viewer. This approach works best in a square room with minimal interior design and obstacles. It will not work well in many real-world scenarios with different room shapes though.

♥ Mix all dry ingredients into a bowl: flour, baking soda, salt, and lakanto or xylitol.
♥ Mash bananas in a separate bowl for wet ingredients. Add eggs, olive oil, and vanilla and whisk.
♥ Blend two apples (cored) and cinnamon in a blender. Skin on the apple is ok!
♥ Combine everything together and mix in walnuts.
♥ Coat loaf pans with organic butter, pour in batter and cook at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. The last 5 minutes I moved the pans to a lower shelf in the oven so the top wouldn't burn.
♥ Let sit for 10 minutes, slice and serve!
*I have been trying out gluten-free recipes for some time and finally figured out the perfect recipe for me. Not too dry or sweet and tastes like real banana bread. Enjoy!
Quick question: Instead of xylitol or laknato, I prefer to sticking with coconut nectar for my 'sugar' sweetener. Any advise on how to use in your baking recipes?
Hi Brenna — I'd love to make this recipe. Thanks for sharing it. My question is what size loaf pans did you use? It says the recipe makes two loaves; are these small loaves?


This is a question that was posed to us. It is being published in 'It's Up to You', the monthly publication of The Kobrin Agency Inc.".
$800,000, where as the house makes up 50 % of the portfolio. Typically, our clients and people we speak to, do not factor their residence into the portfolio allocation mix. Of course the residence should be part of the portfolio mix, heck in this instance it is 50 % of the net worth. With the understanding that we are not real estate professionals, we do believe that the real estate market is in a severe overvaluation phase. We feel that any of a few factors could pierce the valuation of homes. These factors could include rising interest rates, rising or continued higher unemployment or a re-evaluation of traditional measures of valuing real estate. Again, we would not "sell everything" and go into real estate. People need to realize that real estate is generally a very long-term investment, and its primary purpose should be for shelter. When our clients are buying real estate, we ask that they evaluate the cash flows, operating costs, expected outflows and such. Interestingly enough, we were very positive on investing in real estate in the early 1990's. Here in the Northeast we saw home prices fall from the peaks of the '80's and there were incredible opportunities in real estate. We do feel that those opportunities will exist again. Real estate at this point reminds us of the NASDAQ mania of the late 1990's, yet I mention again (and again, and again) that we are not real estate professionals. I will often hear a client say " Ron, we have heard that from you for over a year now. You are wrong about your views on real estate." My reply often will be, "Do you remember when we felt the NASDAQ was in severe overvaluation, do you remember when the NASDAQ passed the 3500 level on the way to 5000 and you told us we were obviously wrong on our views of a bubble?" Well, now the NASDAQ has recovered almost 40 % to the 1500 level from the 1250 level. As you can see in an article called " Our Concerns of NASDAQ 5000 ", we were not wrong on our views of the NASDAQ bubble. To answer your question on real estate, we think the financial metrics need to be examined closely before investing. An investor in real estate should exercise the discipline of doubt, understanding of risk, time frame of the investment, historical valuation, cash flow measures and understanding of the specific property and its location.
Lastly Steve, you asked if investors should go into " pure safety." My question back would be, " what is pure safety?" I don't know of any pure safety investment. Of course you are talking about high quality bonds and CDs. High quality bonds have been a material part of our portfolios for the last 12 years (that is how long we have been in this business). One must understand that high quality bonds do have risk. They have risk of rising interest rates (whereas the owner of a bond has a fixed rate of interest), risk of inflation (will your bond pay a greater interest than the inflation rate?), risk of bond being called (if it is a callable bond) and risk of a changing dollar (keep in mind the weak dollar of the last few years). Interest rates are at historic lows as I write this. Hence, the risk of owning high quality Fixed Income Investments has increased (CDs and US Treasuries are traditional Fixed Income Investments). It is not widely known that a change in interest rates can alter the value of a quality bond portfolio. If one invests in a 10 Year Treasury at 3.563 % (rate as I write this) and rates then go to 4.563 %, the loss on value would be approximately 7.50 %.
I think that the answer to your question is that an investor should generally never take hasty action. At the same time, every investor should understand how their investments and cash flow shape their future. Just like in the game of chess, each move should be planned accordingly.
Please feel free to contact us for a free portfolio review. My name is Ronald R. Redfield. Our company's name is Redfield, Blonsky & Co. Our website is http://www.rbcpa.com. Our phone number is 908 276 7226.

'Our Bitch Madonna' Performs 'Living For Love' At The Grammys
Rebel Heart
'Our Bitch Madonna' Performs 'Living…
Madonna performed "Living for Love" — the inaugural single from her forthcoming album, "Rebel Heart" — for the first time at the Grammys on Sunday. Dressed like a matador and surrounded by topless men wearing bull maks, the iconic singer asked the audience to rise to its feet before exiting the stage through the ceiling.
Madonna was introduced by Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus, who chose the wise words "Let's give it up for our bitch, Madonna! She made me call her that…" to do so.
Prior to taking the stage, the icon mooned the red carpet attendees.
The 56-year-old singer rushed to release "Living for Love," along with five other tracks from "Rebel Heart" in an official capacity after unfinished versions of two other tracks leaked in late November. Madonna hadn't yet announced the album's title or release plans when the initial leaks occurred, but she's since set March 10 as the drop date. The song's video, in which Madonna portrays a matador fighting off an army of men dressed as bulls, premiered last week.
Madonna confirmed via Instagram that she will also perform at the BRIT Awards on Feb. 25, three days after "Living for Love" is slated for release in the U.K.
This marks the second consecutive year Madonna has performed on the Grammy stage. In 2014, she joined Macklemore, Ryan Lewis and Mary Lambert to sing "Same Love" while a few dozen weddings took place on the telecast.

Particles of aluminum nitride (AlN) have been observed to form during epitaxial growth of AlN films by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Particle formation is undesirable because particles do not contribute to the film growth, and are detrimental to the hydraulic system of the reactor. It is believed that particle formation is triggered by adducts that are formed when the group-III precursor, namely tri-methyl-aluminum (TMAl), and the group-V precursor, namely ammonia (NH3), come in direct contact in the gas-phase. Thus, one way to eliminate particle formation is to prevent the group-III and the group-V precursors from coming in direct contact at all in the gas-phase. In this article, pulsing of TMAl and NH3 is numerically investigated as a means to reduce AlN particle formation. The investigations are conducted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis with the inclusion of detailed chemical reaction mechanisms both in the gas-phase and at the surface. The CFD code is first validated for steady-state (non-pulsed) MOCVD of AlN against published data. Subsequently, it is exercised for pulsed MOCVD with various pulse widths, precursor gas flow rates, wafer temperature, and reactor pressure. It is found that in order to significantly reduce particle formation, the group-III and group-V precursors need to be separated by a carrier gas pulse, and the carrier gas pulse should be at least 5–6 times as long as the precursor gas pulses. The studies also reveal that with the same time-averaged precursor gas flow rates as steady injection (non-pulsed) conditions, pulsed MOCVD can result in higher film growth rates because the precursors are incorporated into the film, rather than being wasted as particles. The improvement in growth rate was noted for both horizontal and vertical reactors, and was found to be most pronounced for intermediate wafer temperature and intermediate reactor pressure.
► Pulsing of precursor gases was used to reduce aluminum nitride (AlN) particle formation.
► For any reactor configuration, pulsed MOCVD reduces particle formation and improves growth rate.
► Group III and group V precursors, namely TMAl and NH3, must be separated by a carrier gas pulse.
► Carrier gas pulse width of 5–6 times that of the precursor pulse results in the highest growth rate.
