Sepang, 26th October 2007: With the more glamourous MotoGP going on next door, the Malaysian Motocross Championship received little attention. I usually compose the picture in my mind before arriving at a location. I envisioned a busy scene with riders flying on top of boring oil palm trees. Instead, there were few riders and plenty of lalang patches. With the gloomy sky and the need for speed, I decided on a silhouette image. After tip-toeing through the track, I found the perfect vantage point, next to a marshall. By keeping the camera low on the ground, the lalang appeared much taller. The 560mm tele lens rendered it out-of-focus and gave the picture a three-dimensional look.
Big thanks to Irwan & Azhar of the Media Department, Sepang International Circuit (SIC) for their assistance.

The Enchanted Dagger
A Lurid Tale of Political Intrigue
The Enchanted Dagger tells the story of Roger Chalmers, a sinister political neophyte who challenges the corrupt political factions of Great City with the aid of a mystical blade that makes people tell the truth.
When I started writing the story in Oct 2014, I wanted to comment on our contemporary political climate and further the notion that if the quality of our political discourse didn't improve we would invite the rise a crypto-fascist authoritarian leader who could lead the nation down a dark and perilous path. Unfortunately, I hit the nail on the head! My hope is that the comic will offer some insight into these weird times.
Roger and most of the characters in the story find their origins in comic's Golden Age, the seminal period of the American Comic Book that produced characters like Batman, Captain America & Wonder Woman. The story takes place in a vague future-past reminiscent of Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
The Enchanted Dagger was created in 1941 by a comic book artist named George Tuska. The original Enchanted Dagger stories appeared in Yankee Comics #1-4 and then disappeared into Golden Age oblivion.

The Petra Collection embodies the unique history, grandeur and beauty of the ancient Nabataean city of Petra.
Located in what is present day Jordan and considered to be one of the wonders of the world, Petra was built in the 5th century BC by the Nabataeans, a nomadic Bedouin tribe who were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving.
The city was established in a unique position, not only within the desert's steep sandstone cliffs, providing protection from outside invasion, but also within proximity to ancient trade routes. Welcoming caravans full of incense from Arabia, silks from China and spices from India, the Nabataeans grew their kingdom and Petra became the focus of their wealth. At its peak in the 1st century AD, Petra was a thriving and lush metropolis. However, as sea trade routes emerged, Petra's importance declined and the city was eventually abandoned until it was rediscovered in 1812 by a Swiss traveler and geographer. To this day, archaeologists are still discovering important artifacts and clues to further understand this complex and unique society.
We visited Petra in early 2020 and were blown away by it's grandeur and the unique landscape where it's positioned. The textures of the sandstone cliffs, the intricately carved buildings throughout the city & the breathtaking views were something to marvel at. And of course, I couldn't stop imagining what it was like at its peak with camel caravans full of incense, African beads and the like, flocking into the city. Through the textures, shapes and warm stones, the Petra Collection seeks to embody the unique history and powerful spirit of this once thriving metropolis.

Produced to use : combining two key intuitions on the nature of artefacts
W.N. Houkes, P.E. Vermaas
In this paper we examine the possibilities of combining two central intuitions about artefacts: that they are functional objects, and that they are non-natural objects. We do so in four steps. First we argue that, contrary to common opinion, functions cannot be the cornerstone of a characterisation of artefacts. Our argument suggests an alternative view, which characterises artefacts as objects embedded in what we call use plans. Second, we show that this plan-centred successor of the function-focused view is at odds with the non-naturalness intuition. Third, we show that this intuition can be developed by defining artefacts as produced or human-made objects, but that the resulting definition might collapse into the plan-centred view, and has trouble distinguishing artefact types or kinds. Finally, we propose a division of labour between production and use plans: among objects in general, artefacts are distinguished as human-made objects; within the domain of artefacts, types or kinds are characterised by the use plans in which artefacts are embedded.

This post is written for all my Global customers who would like to order from or through my Zazzle stores from their own country. Zazzle has been an international print-on-demand site for a while, but its the first time that I have looked what products are showing in each country. It's different with each country, so that must depend on what the visitor is looking for or if it is in alphabetical order, due to the different languages.
What was the most amazing for me was to see my product design descriptions translated in Dutch. How cool is that? Since I'm originally from Holland, but have lived in South Africa for the last….many years, it was truly a global experience that my work is shown all over the world in the language of that country. The translations might not all be correct, but I can only know that when I view my Dutch shop pages. I will start with Holland, the land of my birth.
Thanks for reading this entry with my shop links. This is a link that takes a visitor to my latest work published on Zazzle. This year I will create more personalized designs and try my hand on designing for weddings,and other important functions.


Communities in seven villages in Belu district, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province, have just finished doing research on climate change, its impacts, and adaptation strategies. The selected villages are located in the southern lowlands in Central Malaka subdistrict, and in the northern highlands in Lamaknen subdistrict. The observation posts take their names from the sub-district capitals: Betun for Central Malaka and Weluli for Lamaknen sub-district. The approach used was community-based participatory rural appraisal, meaning that the resulting study is a collection of the communities'opinions about, and experiences of, climate change.
One of the indicators used to conduct this study is the amount of rainfall between 1999 and 2009. To facilitate the calculation, the study uses criteria issued by Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG): daily rainfall is added up over the course of ten days and then its average calculated. This results in three ten-day periods per month, and 36 per year.
From these calculations the communities concerned can precisely discern the shift in the beginning of the rainy and dry seasons. For example, at the Weluli observation post, the duration of the rains has been relatively constant during the last 20 years at 15 ten-day periods (5 months) although there was a shift in the start of the rainy season from the 12th ten-day period to the 11th. At the same time, at the Betun post, the duration of the rains decreased from 9 ten-day periods (3 months) to 7 ten-day periods (2 months 10 days). Meanwhile, according to the local community, the rains' duration has gone down from 8 months to 5 months in the higher-lying areas (Maneikun, Lakanmau, Maudemu, Faturika, Dubesi) and from 9 months to 5 months in the southern coastal areas. However, the southern region also experiences a second rainy season (called Udan Lorofalin or Udan Knau) around June/July (see table).
According to the local population, the total annual rainfall has seen an overall increase during the past 30 years, but uneven distribution of the rain has led to problems regarding the appropriate selection of crops to be planted for food or cash. People complain that the rain is now different than in the past; it is difficult to forecast and traditional indicators no longer work effectively.
The local population also feels that air temperature has been increasing during the past 20-30 years. Night temperatures, which used to be cool, are no longer so, including during the months of June and August, which are usually very cool. The same thing is also happening in highland regions like Maudemu which used to be much cooler - now the difference is negligible. Winds are generally uncertain and therefore difficult to predict. In the previous period, the wind was either coming from the west or the east, but now wind direction as well as wind speed are erratic.
As people in Belu district, haven't had access to information about the global drivers of climate change, they have tended to look for local causes of climate change. They have attributed the changes to: 1) the decline or loss of local traditions and knowledge relating to the "calling" or "stopping" of the rain, of taboos/prohibitions (Ukun Badu), customary rules on grazing and land tenure, and of the appreciation and respect for customary rites and forests; and 2) the burning of forest and land; changes in consumption patterns, farming systems and animal husbandry; as well as attention to local wisdom and the biophysical environment not playing much of a role in young people's education.
Community focus groups are planning some measures as adaptation and mitigation strategies, such as forest protection and reforestation around water sources.
Hilaria has been a field worker since 1997 and currently works in a village in North Central Timor (TTU) district.
When she sets up farmers' groups the first step is to push for a Long Term Development Plan at the village government level. This aims to ensure that community programmes are integrated into the village programmes. If the village government is not prepared to do that yet, then YMTM usually asks permission to set up a group consisting of 5 to 6 people first who work on the garden arrangements.
There are usually 6 to 10 groups in per village.
In most cases, accounts of successful farmers taking part in the programme win over those within the community who are not yet convinced about the benefits. Such conversations and exchange of information are very effective in accelerating the restructuring of the village gardens.
Yayasan Mitra Tani Mandiri (YMTM) is a civil society organisations active in East Nusa Tenggara province. Its members have managed to develop agroforestry programmes and transform land in dry areas of three districts - Flores, TTU and Belu - into plantations that produce sufficient resources for the local community. YMTM has received several awards, among them the Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) Award (2006) and the Equator Prize from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2010 for the successful implementation of new agricultural technology. Here are excerpts from an interview with Yoseph Asa.
What are your criteria for selecting villages?
We choose villages based on their location on very dry land. We believe that if we succeed in improving a dry area it will be easier for us to also enter less challenging areas. Our programme is based on improving soil fertility, so for the first three years we try to improve soil fertility.
Traditionally, the local population recovers land by cutting the branches of certain trees and then planting them in the soil to increase soil fertility. Lamtoro, Gamal, Kaliandra, Flamenia, Desminiu and Turi are multifunctional trees, which not only improve soil fertility but also act as erosion barriers, provide fire-wood, protect other plants, and are sources of seeds and animal feed. For example, Turi and Lamtoro are used as feed for cattle.
These plants have proven helpful in creating a micro-climate for farming communities. For example, during the rainy season, the branches and leaves of these trees are trimmed and used as an organic fertiliser. The purpose of pruning is to make sure that the crops planted between the trees get enough sunlight. In the dry season, the trees are left to grow so that the soil is kept moist.
This technology has been proven as capable of increasing productivity in sustainable organic agriculture. Poor farmers living and working in difficult areas cannot afford chemical fertiliser and seeds, which is why we strive to make the most of locally available seeds. We never advise the use of chemicals unless there is a village already using them, and normally we would encourage them to switch to organic agriculture. Chemical fertilisers are risky for dry land use as they require large amounts of water.
What are the economic benefits for the local people?
Nowadays most people are able to sell seeds of trees to the local Forest Service office. They can also sell wood for construction to buyers from outside the area. Biodiversity is safeguarded by the planting of trees. New sources of water have appeared, and the number of birds in the areas has started to increase.
Why has this agroforestry programme been so successful?
Because we involve the communities from the beginning, and because these communities can support themselves. For example, they may find seeds in the forest and plant them in their own garden/field.
We start our planning at the level of the family garden. Almost every farming family can draw a picture of how their own garden is planned. They need to do this to facilitate further planning.
Each image of the family garden should include all three time horizons: short-term crops (around one year) for food; medium-term crops (3 - 5 years); and long-term such as timber for buildings.
Although the land is dry in these places not all dry land technology can be used in the same way in all places. It must be adapted to the topography - the higher the location, the drier the village; lower-lying locations tend to be wetter.
What we do when starting in a village is to listen to farmers recount their usual planting practices. We mustn't push any particular concept we are familiar with. Let's not imitate the government which in the past promoted the planting of cashew seedlings - a process that eventually failed because not all regions in NTT were suitable for growing cashews.
Our programmes try to avoid such failures, because the farmers are already traumatised by failures. We always conduct simple trials and make use of what's simple, inexpensive and locally available.
In the future we would like to scale up our programmes, from farmer to farmer and village to village. We want to expand into education and contribute our experience to agricultural schools and colleges.


Department of Defense chief of staff Rear Adm. Kevin Sweeney has stepped down from his post. ""After two years in the Pentagon, I've decided the time is right to return to the private sector," he said in a statement.
Sweeney served as chief of staff to former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who resigned last month after President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. Pentagon spokesperson Dana White also announced her departure this week.
Why it matters, from Brent Colburn, a senior Pentagon official under President Obama: "In normal times, the resignation of a Chief of Staff following the departure of a Secretary of Defense would not only be seen as unsurprising, but as expected. ... These are not normal times. With so many leadership gaps in the building, and so much uncertainty about future leadership, this will just add to the growing sense of instability in an institution that thrives on predictability."

COBRA Subsidy Overview and FAQs
Issue Date: April 22, 2021
Download as Word.doc
To help clients better navigate the complexities of the recently-announced COBRA subsidies under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP), Benefit Comply has put together the following overview and set of frequently asked questions (FAQs). We hope this document provides assistance with the basics of the requirements and some meaningful direction while we await further guidance from the agencies.
General Subsidy Overview
Assistance Eligible Individuals (AEIs)
The following individuals must be given the opportunity to participate in COBRA continuation coverage at no cost for April – September 2021, so long as they are not eligible for other group health plan coverage or Medicare:
Individuals who are offered federal COBRA or state continuation due to an involuntary termination of employment or reduction in hours that occurs April – September 2021;
Individuals who were offered federal COBRA or state continuation due to an involuntary termination of employment or reduction in hours and who are currently COBRA participants (elected continuation coverage and are making monthly premium payments); and
Individuals who were offered federal COBRA or state continuation due to an involuntary termination of employment or reduction in hours, chose not to elect COBRA, or elected and then dropped it, but are still within their maximum COBRA coverage period.
Subsidy Time Frame
The COBRA subsidy is available April – September 2021, but it will end sooner if AEIs become eligible for other group health plan coverage or Medicare, or if AEIs exhaust their maximum coverage period under federal COBRA or state continuation.
Applicable Coverage
For employees and their family members enrolled when a reduction in hours or involuntary termination of employment caused a loss coverage, the COBRA subsidy must be offered for all group health plans (e.g., medical, dental, vision, HRA, EAP, onsite clinic), but not health FSAs.
Employer Responsibility & Payroll Tax Credits
For group health plans subject to federal COBRA, the employer is responsible for notifying AEIs, providing the coverage at no cost, and requesting a refund for the COBRA premiums not paid against the employer's Medicare portion of the payroll taxes. For group health plans subject to state continuation, the carrier should take responsibility for providing the coverage and requesting a payroll tax credit.
Notice Requirements
The DOL has provide three new model notices, along with a COBRA subsidy summary and certification form. There is a revised election notice (for new qualified beneficiaries) and an extended election notice (for existing qualified beneficiaries), both of which should be accompanied by the summary and certification form. In addition, there is a notice to inform AEIs who elect the COBRA subsidy prior to the subsidy ending.
1. What is considered an involuntary termination of employment?
No official guidance is available yet, but based on the IRS 2009 ARRA guidance, involuntary termination of employment should be interpreted broadly.
An involuntary termination means a severance from employment due to the independent exercise of the unilateral authority of the employer to terminate the employment, other than due to the employee's implicit or explicit request, where the employee was willing and able to continue performing services.
All of the following were considered an involuntary termination of employment:
Layoffs and reductions in force
Failure to renew a contract
Termination for cause
Employer's action to end an employment when employee cannot work due to illness or disability
Employee resignation as the result of employer-initiated change in work location
The involuntary termination of employment does not need to be related to COVID.
If the involuntary termination of employment was for gross misconduct, the individual was never eligible for COBRA and therefore not eligible for the COBRA subsidy either. However, it's unclear exactly what will meet the standard of gross misconduct, so employers should only assume COBRA is not required after discussing specific facts and circumstances with counsel.
2. How does the employer recover lost COBRA premium payments?
No official guidance is available yet, but it appears that employers may take a credit against the Medicare portion of payroll taxes (e.g., using Form 941). We expect the IRS will provide more specific guidance soon, including for situations in which the employer's Medicare payroll tax liability is less than the missed COBRA premiums. We're also assuming the IRS will set forth expectations for records/documentation that will be needed to prove eligibility for payroll tax credits. NOTE: The payroll tax credit is available to government entities as well.
3. What counts as eligibility for other group health plan coverage?
Individuals who are eligible for an employer-sponsored group medical plan, through their own employment or through a spouse or other family member, are not eligible for the COBRA subsidy. Eligibility for excepted benefits (e.g., stand-alone dental or vision), a QSEHRA or health FSA, Medicaid, or individual health coverage does not affect eligibility for the COBRA subsidy.
4. How far are we required to "look back" to determine who must receive a notice?
For group health plans subject to federal COBRA, employers will generally have to look back 18 months (i.e., qualifying events that triggered a loss of coverage in October 2019 or later) because an employee's reduction in hours or involuntary termination of coverage will typically trigger an 18-month maximum coverage period for employees and their family members who were enrolled when the qualifying event occurred. However, it's possible that federal COBRA extensions may need to be taken into account. For example, spouses and dependents who have a 2nd qualifying event after electing COBRA can extend their maximum coverage period to 36 months. In addition, a disability determination can extend the maximum coverage period to 29 months.
For group health plans subject to state continuation, the maximum coverage period varies greatly from state to state, in some cases lasting only a couple months, and in other cases (e.g., CA, NY), the maximum coverage period is 36 months.
5. Who needs to receive which notices?
There are 3 different groups of individuals who may require a notice:
New Qualified Beneficiaries (now – September 2021): The normal COBRA election notice should be replaced with the "Model General Notice and COBRA Continuation Coverage Election Notice" along with the "Summary of COBRA Premium Assistance Provisions."
Existing Qualified Beneficiaries (triggered a continuation right prior to April 2021): The "Model Notice in Connection with Extended Election Period" along with the "Summary of COBRA Premium Assistance Provisions" should be sent no later than May 31, 2021.
AEIs who elect the COBRA subsidy: The "Model Notice of Expiration of Premium Assistance" must be sent 15-45 days prior to the subsidy ending due to the end of the maximum coverage period or reaching September 30, 2021.
6. Do we have to collect the certification that is part of the Summary of COBRA Premium Assistance Provisions?
It's not clearly required, but the recommendation is to collect the certification for the following reasons:
To ensure the COBRA subsidy is only provided to AEIs who are not eligible for other group health plan coverage or Medicare;
To ensure the carrier (or stop-loss carrier) will provide coverage; and
To provide proof of the employer's right to collect payroll tax credits.
7. Who is responsible for sending the notices, providing the coverage, and collecting applicable payroll tax credits?
For plans subject to federal COBRA, the employer is responsible for all of these things.
For plans subject to state continuation, it appears the carrier will take responsibility for all of these things.
For plans subject to both federal COBRA and state continuation (e.g., a larger employer offering a fully-insured plan), we're waiting on further guidance from the agencies.

Copyright-evidenceEvidence reported by andrea@archive.org for item mediaevalburglar00toutuoft on March 21, 2007: no visible notice of copyright; stated date is 1916.
"A Mediaeval Burglary" is a 24-page lecture transcript from 1915 about a little known burglary of King Edward I's treasure room in 1303. There remains some mystery of who did it, this real-life story has drama, interesting characters, scandal, cover-up, and provides a sense and feel of the times from a ground-up perspective. Entertaining, includes a hand-drawn map and two relevant manuscript pages.
There is a recent book about it called 'The Great Crown Jewels Robbery of 1303' (2005) by an author better known as a novelist -- its 300+ pages (I have not read it), but I think this short lecture by a Medieval scholar covers it pretty well and has Victorian character which adds to the atmosphere.


The 15-story development is located in Lapa, in the Central region of Rio de Janeiro. The region is served by several bus lines, the metro station Cinelandia and various services. The building has availability of parking spaces.

Babobab
Baobab is the common name for a species of trees, called Andasonia, which has nine different species. Six of these live in the dry parts of Madagascar, two in Africa and one in Australia. The baobab is Madagascar's national tree. These type of trees reach heights of 5 to 30 meters and have a trunk diameter of 7 to 11 meters. The trunk is so big that it could hold up to 120,000 liters of water. For nine months of the year, the tree has no leaves. Baobabs usually have pretty long lives as well. It is known as the tree of life and considered by some to be sacred, because it provides shelter, clothing, food and water for all living things living around it. The leaves are used as condiments and medicine, the stem is fire resistant and is used to…show more content…
It has a population of twenty-two million inhabitants, and its capital is
Antananarivo. It's the world's fourth largest island, after Greenland, New Guinea, and
Borneo. The official languages are French and Malagasy.
The baobab can be mostly found in Madagascar's savannas. It has adapted to the savanna biome by only producing leaves during the wet season. When they actually grow, you can immediately notice that they are really small. The small size of the leaves helps the baobab limit water loss. Another adaptation that enables the baobab tree to survive the long months of drought is its ability to store water in its trunk.
Like we all know, the baobab is an endangered species in high risk of extinction.
According to some researches, two of Madagascar's baobab tree species will lose much of their available habitat in the next 70 years because of climate change and human development. One species may not survive to the next century. The baobab tree is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1998.
So, to preserve the biodiversity in Madagascar's savannas, some specific actions have to be carried out. Baobabs are threatened especially by fire, and are at risk right now. Some companies are already working on the monitoring of individual baobab

The Akanksha Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to impact the lives of children from low-income communities, enabling them to maximize their potential and change their lives. Akanksha works primarily in the field of education, addressing non-formal education through the Akanksha center and also formal education by initiating school reform.
We strongly believe that this collaboration is a mutual one, providing all students, our citizens and policy makers of tomorrow rich opportunities to respect, partner and learn from each other.
Partnering with other educational organizations so as to exchange knowledge, ideas and best practices.
Extending our resources to the community as per their needs.
In demonstrating each child's innate potential and hunger to learn, creating opportunities for each one to respect the other as individuals.
Providing computer skills, an essential skill today, to the students of Akanksha.
All working Fridays, from 9.45-10.30, around 25 children from Akanksha will be a part of TOS for learning computer skills (in the senior computer lab).
They are accompanied by their teacher, and maushi.
In short, this program has a well thought, pre-planned syllabus with clear well defined learning outcomes. The students will be assessed at regular intervals. It is envisioned as complementing the existing work done by Akanksha. We believe school is a space that is meant to meet the needs of the student population and the community at large. This project is a step in that direction.

Two Stonehaven community projects need your votes
Two community-based projects in Stonehaven are hoping local residents will get behind them in a bid to win funding in a nationwide competition.
The Stonehaven Grande Promenade Project, and the Friends of the Open Air Pool are hoping to win votes in the Aviva Community Fund, which awards funding to a variety of projects each year.
The fund is open to everyone – if a project gets enough votes from friends, family and supporters in the community, it could be entered into the finals, where a judging panel will award the funds.
The Aviva Community Fund will finance over 500 projects across four different fund levels and four categories, giving awards to communities throughout the UK.
The Stonehaven Grande Promenade Project is concerned with upgrading the seafront in Stonehaven, making it accessible and appealing to everyone.
More than 50 people turned out to a public meeting last month in support of the project to improve the promenade, and ideas include disabled access, cycle, run lane next to a widened boardwalk, mood lighting, better signage to and from the castle, information/education boards about wildlife, a visitor centre, shelters for bad weather, beach huts selling local crafts and for families to rent out, viewpoints with binoculars/telescopes, picnic benches, tables and seating made from recycled materials and a themed and colourful sea wall.
Meanwhile, the Stonehaven open air pool is hoping to achieve funding to give it the resources to provide a programme of events throughout the season at the pool.
A message on its Facebook page explains: "We aim to cover the costs of employing a suitable person for a 16-week period (three weeks pre-season and for the 13-week open season) to plan, deliver and promote a programme of events, which people would welcome, to attract additional people to the pool and to use it to its full potential.
"We would hope to encourage someone from the local community, possibly a school or college student, who may be studying a relevant subject to help us achieve this goal and to also progress their knowledge, giving them the chance to undertake a hands-on project and promote the pool within the local community."
For more information, or to register your vote, please visit www.community-fund.aviva.co.uk


As barren as the outdoors is of life, inside the walls of our theatrical spaces, large and small, are full of life. There are 15 shows available to audiences this weekend!
There is something for every taste — pick one or two or three! And Go See a Play!
Jan. 26 at noon and 2 p.m. and Jan. 27 at 2 p.m.
What It's About: The annual show features their famous flying children with new acts, including Chinese Pole and Hoop Diving.
What It's About: A determined librarian and a segregationist senator face off over an innocent children's book in 1959 Montgomery. Depicting the marriage of two rabbits – who happen to have different-colored fur – the story has Sen. E.W. Higgins calling for a book ban. But even as the pressure mounts, librarian Emily Wheelock Reed refuses to yield to censorship. Inspired by true events.
What It's About: Part flesh, part felt and packed with heart, "Avenue Q" is a laugh-out-loud musical telling the story of Princeton, a college grad who moves into the city with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He and his Avenue Q neighbors struggle to find jobs, dates and their life's purpose.
What It's About: The world premiere production is about two high-powered news reporters from across the aisle who are thrown together during the national coverage of the aftermath following the Michael Brown shooting death in Ferguson, Mo., in summer 2014.
As they untangle facts, they struggle to keep their private lives out of the spotlight.
Of Note: Created from diverse interviews of people from around the corner and around the world, Canfield Drive was written by Kristen Adele Calhoun and Michael Thomas Walker. It is a National Performance Network Creation and Development Fund Project co-commissioned by 651 Arts in partnership with The St. Louis Black Repertory Company, and NPN.
Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m.
What It's About: Love, litigation, deep passions and predatory lending are taken to a new level. The play wades fearlessly into the complexities of life in America. It is set among Black and Jewish populations in an imagined time and place, simultaneously Shakespearean and post- Civil War Washington, D.C.
Of Note: In Aaron Posner's reimagining, the play becomes less about the quality of mercy and more about how flexible a supposedly egalitarian society can be to the varied tribes struggling to find partners in America. Aaron Posner expertly blends humor, emotional truths and topics that make people think. He is able to create characters who are deeply flawed, like we are. In his "uneasy" comedy, he wants us to look at a snapshot in time, the Reconstruction Era, but what he has written is relevant to audiences today.
Jan. 25 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 27 at 3 p.m.
Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday at 2 p.m.
What It's About: An evocative tale of two men – one, a passionate doctor; the other, a terrifying madman – and two women, both in love with the same man and both unaware of his dark secret. Murder and chaos is pitted against love and virtue.
Of Note: Rated PG-13 for violence.
Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
301 West St Louis Street in Lebanon, Ill.
What It's About: The Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical is a timeless work set against the backdrop of a Biblical series of events but seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
What It's About: Linda Lee Thomas was the Southern beauty who married and was the driving force behind legendary song writer Cole Porter at the dawn of the roaring twenties. Though Cole Porter was gay, their companionship and love lasted through 35 years of marriage and a spectacular, glamour-filled life.
Through innovative jazz arrangements, the music and lyrics of Cole Porter examine the darker sides of their life while also celebrating the deep love that blossomed through their unconventional relationship.
Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Highland Elementary School auditorium in Highland, Ill.
What It's about: The pop doesn't stop in this musical about a high school prom in 1958 and, in the second act, a 10-year reunion in 1968, with a soundtrack that includes big hits from both decades.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m.
What It's About: How do you know where you're going…if you don't know who has been in your home?

And how no one should ever underestimate the importance of cleaning up their accessories.

And Faustus' colleague and Hamlet's instructor and priest, Martin Luther, is dealing with the spiritual and medical consequences of his long-simmering outrage at certain abusive practices of the Church.
Starring: Casey Boland, Steve Isom, Alan Knoll and Caitlin Mickey.
Of Note: St. Louis premiere.
What It's About: Nine teenage girls prepare for battle on a soccer field. As they stretch and warm up together, the teammates' nonstop banter reveals how a collection of disparate personalities bonds to form a team.
What It's About: Bread and Roses presents these vignettes of new and revised sketches about laborers, unions, and workers' rights in the past and the present. Every sketch is full of good music, some history and lots of political humor.
Director: Kathryn Bentley, associate professor at SIU-Edwardsville and Artistic Director of the Black Theater Workshop.
Music and script editing by Colin McLaughlin.
Of Note: Written and performed by members of Service Employees International Union, Communications Workers of America, United Media Guild, Actors Equity, Asbestos Workers, and others involved in the arts and organized labor.

Political cover?
Oracle names former CIA director Leon Panetta to its board
Barb Darrow Jan 19, 2015 - 6:37 AM CST
Leon Panetta, the former U.S. Secretary of Defense and CIA director under President Obama, is now an Oracle director.
Panetta served as defense secretary from 2011 to 2013 and led the CIA from 2009 to 2011. Panetta also served in the Clinton administration as chief of staff and director of the Office of Management and Budget. And he was a congressman to California's 16th district from 1977 to 1993. The man obviously has connections.
The appointment of a former CIA chief may raise eyebrows among the data privacy advocates who squealed at Oracle' s decision to purchase data aggregator Datalogix.
The move, announced Monday, is not the first time Oracle has put a political bigwig on its board. In November 2000, the vendor named Joe Lockhart, President Clinton's former press secretary, as a director. Lockhart resigned six months later, citing the long Washington, D.C.-to-Northern California commute. Oracle's got to hope this appointment works out better, but at least Panetta is a native Californian.
[company]Oracle[/company] isn't alone in snagging political heavyweights. In April, Dropbox named Condoleezza Rice, former secretary of state under George W. Bush, as a director — a decision that also raised a bit of a ruckus.

Four Syrians, one Iranian national and three non-Syrian fighters among casualties in attack carried out Saturday night near Al-Tanf base; Syrian observatory group says unclear whether attack was launched by US-led coalition forces.
"A convoy of Iranian forces and allied militia was hit by air strikes as it drove near Al-Tanf base," the head of the monitoring group Rami Abdel Rahman said.
"We do not know if it is planes of the international coalition", led by Washington to fight against the Islamic State group (ISIS), he said.
The coalition did not immediately reply to an AFP query.
The report came days after Iran was said to have given ballistic missiles capable of striking Tel Aviv to Shi'ite proxies in Iraq.
Iran was also reported to have been developing the capacity to build more there to deter attacks on its interests in the Middle East, according to Iranian, Iraqi and Western sources.
Several strikes against the Syrian government or allied forces have been in the past attributed to US forces deployed as part of a multinational coalition against the ISIS group.
The base, set up in 2016 near the borders with Iraq and jordan, was also used for the training of so-called "vetted opposition" to the regime of President Bashar Assad.
Syrian state media said on Sunday that loud blasts coming from the Mezzeh airbase early the same morning were from an explosion at an ammunitions dump caused by an electrical problem.
Syrian military officials later said that the explosions, which were originally attributed to Israel, were in fact caused by the electrical malfunction.

Redwood family gives back to world by collecting 1,300 shoes for charity
Nathan Charles
Another year, another 1,300 shoes for the Salvetti family. Aided by community and church donations, the Salvetti family of Larkspur collected a total of 650 pairs of shoes for the nonprofit organization Soles4Souls in 2017.
Soles4Souls, based in Nashville, Tenn., is committed to distributing new and gently-used shoes throughout the world, mainly focusing on Third World countries. The organization relies on the hard work of families like the Salvettis, local people who collect shoes then ship them to a nearby containment center where they are designated to be redistributed.
For four months, the Salvetti family spent countless hours boxing up shoes.
"I feel like we have a passion to give, and this community has so much to give: time, money, resources," Ann Salvetti said. "We've always had so much to be thankful for, so we feel compelled to do what we can."
Ann and Sandor Salvetti, along with their three kids, junior Alyssa and middle schoolers Dante and Briana, all chipped in to help gather the shoes. Contributions ranged from the presentations Dante and Briana gave to their peers about their collection efforts to the boxing and shipping that Alyssa and Sandor undertook. The shoes were shipped at the end of last year following four months of hard work and countless hours of shoe match-making.
"I'm super proud of [my kids]," Ann said. "I know it's a cliché saying but it feels better to give than to get a gift."
Starting in September, the Salvettis spread collection boxes around Larkspur and Corte Madera, dropping them at locations such as TJ's Gym and Saint Patrick's Church. The boxes, combined with donations from friends and other community members, helped the Salvettis amass their grand total of shoes. Though they accumulated quite the assortment of footwear, the family managed to keep their work atmosphere light and productive.
"Every weekend we had to dump out the boxes we got and each of us had to [match up] 50 pairs of shoes
Soles4Souls sends the collected shoes across the world, providing countless people with new shoes.
, but it was fun because we would create games and competitions," Alyssa said. "It felt so good to box them up."
Dante and Briana both agreed that the sibling rivalry fueled their efforts, though it wasn't all fun and games.
"My least favorite part was not being able to go out with my friends," Dante said. "[At least] I got the most hours."
Despite not having a garage, the Salvettis made sure to find a place for every shoe, sometimes having to think outside the box.
"We'd have to rubber band the pairs of shoes together and then put them in a Hefty bag and put that outside under a tarp [to protect from the rain]," Alyssa said.
Though the family is proud of their work, Ann would like to see their charitable contribution grow even more, and she sees potential for local expansion.
"I think [our collection] went up a little, but I think it could go up more," Ann said.
"I would love to see the community fully back us, and I would really like to see Redwood back us in support."

What could be better than a little health policy with a deep cup of coffee on Sunday morning? Perhaps the only thing would be a lot of health policy.
Well, you're in luck this week: Joe Paduda over at Managed Care Matters has put together an edition of Health Wonk Review that's packed with great posts. He's dubbed it "The Election is Coming" edition and though it isn't clear why he labeled it as such, we'll speculate that it's because the dozen or so posts he reviewed should be required reading for voters as they prep for November 4.
Voters might, for instance, take a close look at handful of posts about the Affordable Care Act so they'll be able to decide whether whether to thank – or perhaps "spank" – their members of Congress for their votes on health reform.
Roy Poses has a piece about the ACA's rollout of the Sunshine Act – a financial disclosure provision.
Louise Norris explains whether you'll be able to hang on to your grandmothered health plan.
Jason Shafrin looks the variation between accountable care organizations (ACOs).
There's plenty more in this solid edition of HWR. Who knows … it might even inspire you to vote.
Next up: Jennifer Salopek hosts HWR over at Wing of Zock on October 23.
