Paul Richard "Richie" Furay (born May 9, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member who is best known for forming the bands Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, and Dewey Martin, and Poco with Jim Messina, Rusty Young, George Grantham and Randy Meisner.[1] His best known song (originally written during his tenure in Buffalo Springfield, but eventually performed by Poco, as well) was Kind Woman, which he wrote for his wife, Nancy.[2]

2.3 The Richie Furay Band
Before Buffalo Springfield, Furay performed with Stills in the nine-member group, the Au Go Go Singers (Roy Michaels, Rick Geiger, Jean Gurney, Michael Scott, Kathy King, Nels Gustafson, Bob Harmelink, and Furay & Stills), the house band of the famous Cafe Au Go Go in New York City.
In the late 1960s he formed the country rock band Poco with Jim Messina (who produced albums and occasionally played bass for Buffalo Springfield) and Rusty Young. This band, while influential to many future country rock acts, experienced uneven commercial success. Furay's best-known songs, Pickin' Up The Pieces and Good Feelin' To Know, however, have reached classic status and appear on many country rock compilations. Furay left Poco in 1974 to form the Souther Hillman Furay Band. It was during this time that Al Perkins, the band's pedal steel guitar player, introduced Furay to Christianity. His newfound faith helped him rebuild his troubled marriage.[3]
Although Souther, Hillman, Furay's self-titled first album was certified Gold and yielded the top thirty hit with Fallin' in Love in 1974, the group could not follow up on that success, and poor record sales eventually led to its demise.
After moving from Los Angeles to Sugarloaf Mountain near Boulder, Colorado, Furay formed The Richie Furay Band with Jay Truax, John Mehler, and Tom Stipe, releasing the album I've Got a Reason in 1976, which reflected Furay's newfound beliefs. To support the release of this album Furay formed an alliance with David Geffen and Asylum Records. Furay assured Geffen that his album would be Christian influenced but would not be an attempt to preach his newfound beliefs. I've Got a Reason did, however, establish Furay as a pioneer in Christian Rock. The title track of his third album, the secular I Still Have Dreams, became a mild radio hit in 1979.
Overall, his albums charted unsatisfactorily, and, compounded with the strain of touring wearing on him and his family, he hung up his rock and roll shoes in favor of a call to the ministry. In 1983 Furay became senior pastor of the Calvary Chapel in Broomfield, Colorado, a non-sectarian Christian church in the Denver area. He continues to perform as a solo artist, and very occasionally with Poco. He toured as an opening act for America and Linda Ronstadt during the Summer of 2006. The 2006 release of his CD The Heartbeat of Love returned Furay to his early country rock roots with a contemporary flair.
In 2007 he toured with a new formation of the Richie Furay Band. At the Boulder and Bluebird Theatres in Colorado they recorded a double live CD ALIVE. The ALIVE set covers 29 songs of Furay's career. The Richie Furay band continued to tour through 2008 and 2009. Furay appeared with Poco for several shows in early 2009. At the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California in the Spring of 2009, Furay and the current Poco lineup were joined onstage by original members Jim Messina and George Grantham and former bass player Timothy B. Schmit reuniting the Poco lineup that achieved the most critical acclaim.
On October 23, 2010, he reunited with surviving Buffalo Springfield bandmates Stephen Stills and Neil Young for a set at the 24th annual Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
Richie regrouped with Buffalo Springfield for a 2011 tour, headlining 2011 Bonnaroo with them. In July 2011, Furay announced on his Facebook page that he would be touring with Buffalo Springfield in early 2012, ending speculation there would be a 2011 fall tour with them.[4]
From 2011 Furay collaborates with The Piedmont Brothers Band as an occasional back-up vocalist on the album PBB III (2011).
Richie appears on the April 2013 Carla Olson album Have Harmony, Will Travel. They sing the Gene Clark Byrds classic She Don't Care About Time with Richard Podolor (producer of Souther Hillman & Furay) on mandolin and latter day Byrd John York on guitar.
In 2015 he released his latest CD Hand in Hand.
Furay retired as Pastor of Calvary Chapel in December 2017.
On June 13, 2018, the Richie Furay Band began the "Deliverin' Tour" at the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) in New Jersey. The first set consisted of Buffalo Springfield, Poco, Souther, Hillman & Furay Band and solo material, followed by a second set in which the classic 1971 Poco live album "DeLIVErin'" was performed in its entirety. The show was met with rave reviews. The second set was recorded in the hopes of a CD/video release in 2019. The tour is planned to continue throughout the year, culminating with a Poco 50th Anniversary Celebration on November 16, 2018 at the Troubador in Los Angeles, where Poco first performed in 1969.

When green beans mostly came out of a can they got a reputation as something kids won't eat. But today you can find fresh green beans nearly year-round in most grocery stores.1 Fry some up with bacon and I'll bet your kids love them as much as you do.
Wash the beans, cut the ends off and set them aside.
Dice the bacon. This will be easier if you put the bacon in the freezer for about a half-hour first.
Put the diced bacon in a frying pan over medium heat and cook until lightly browned but not crunchy.
Add the beans, toss to combine and cover the pan.
A glass lid will make it easier to keep track of progress. If you don't have clear, just check every minute or two. They're done when the skin starts to blister and turn brown.
Scoop out with a slotted spoon, or use tongs. Season with salt and pepper – after tasting of course.
1) Yes, I know these beans are only there because of interstate trucking, and that it's much better for the environment and for our health to eat locally sourced, seasonal food as much as possible. If there are fresh, local veggies in the store I'll get those even if they cost a bit more. But there weren't any, so my choice is imported fresh veggies or some manufactured food-like product in a box. Given that choice I'll take the import every time.
Cook until the skin starts to blister and turn brown.
Scoop out with a slotted spoon, or use tongs. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

What Do We Do When Kids Show More Courage than Police?
By: Tim Elmore
Did you hear what just happened? Last week, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously awarded ten-year-old Amerie Jo Garza of Uvalde, Texas, one of the highest honors bestowed in Girl Scouting: the "Bronze Cross." Notice—the honor was given to Amerie Jo after she died.
The Bronze Cross is awarded for saving or attempting to save a life at the risk of the Girl Scout's own life. Sort of like a soldier on a battlefield.
In many ways, this illustrates a growing reality in our nation today. First, children are being given posthumous awards. How sad that so many are dying while attempting to save a classmate's life during a school shooting. Mass shootings are increasing at an alarming rate. In fact, there have been at least 12 mass shootings in the week following the Robb Elementary School massacre. We've had more mass shootings in the United States this year than we have had days in the year.
Second, this little girl, so young that she was not even in middle school, was attempting to save lives, and risking her own life while police were still outside. Story after story has been written speculating why they didn't move in, and I read one account where a parent asked an officer why he didn't enter the school building, and he responded, "Because I don't want to get shot."
Tired of Another School Shooting Story
I know, I know. You're probably weary of reading another post about the Robb Elementary School shooting. Trust me, I am too. But I am not weary because I don't care anymore. Like you, I care very much about kids and what happens at schools. I grieve the 19 children and two teachers who lost their lives. We all know what happened.
This post, however, is about what didn't happen.
The Uvalde case is another failure on the part of our institutions. While the shooter stood outside firing his gun into the air for twelve minutes, the doors remained unlocked and no police showed up or took action. Then, for almost an hour, the teachers and children fended for themselves as the armed teen walked in and began mowing down victims. As I understand it, the police and border patrol remained outside, waiting for directions to move in and stop the mass murders. But rest assured, they were not idle. They were busy arresting or pepper spraying parents who wanted to go in to save the lives of their children. While we may argue it's not strategic for parents to go in unarmed, it is a natural response if your child is inside.
Maybe I am oversimplifying this issue, and I realize I'm venting here. But it seems kids, teachers and parents were all trying to save lives, while the police waited outside for safer conditions. Something's wrong with this picture.
But wait, you say. This is an isolated incident where security officers acted this way.
I wish that were true, but it's not. Do you remember the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018? Scot Peterson was the security guard stationed at the school to prevent such massacres. What did he do? As the shooter made his way around the campus, Peterson moved away to a "place of greater safety" outside the building. Scot Peterson was later tried and found guilty of negligence.
Once again, I recognize I am venting here.
I am wondering, however, why I so often see adults acting like kids while kids are acting like adults. Too frequently, people from my generation's institutions are failing tangibly. Too many Boomers and Gen Xers are uncivil on social media, cannot compromise with someone they disagree with, cannot seem to balance a federal budget, find it impossible to keep a marriage together or raise healthy children… And when it's dangerous, we wait until things are safer before we act. David Polansky, a research fellow at The Institute for Peace & Diplomacy, wrote on Twitter, "I don't wish to sound apocalyptic about this, but one has the sense that at present our society is simultaneously characterized by wildly disproportionate accountability for trivial transgressions and zero accountability for profound institutional failure."
I am searching my soul right now. I am asking myself questions like: Am I modeling the life I want the next generation to emulate? Do my words, actions and attitudes reflect the example I would want all leaders, educators, and coaches to display? Do I act honorably and heroically in times of risk, or do I shrink from danger? And finally, are young generations angry right now at our institutions because they see so much failure on our part?
It's time we show the way.


The Ministry of Human resource development released the list of higher education institutes on Monday that was topped by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. While Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore secured the second spot, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi is at the third position.
Ranking of educational institutions across India is based on the methodology outlined by education ministry-approved NIRF ( National institutional ranking framework). The 2019 list was announced by President Ram Nath Kovind who said that overall standards are uneven both in private and public sectors while there are islands of excellence.
The president also asserted that it is very important to lift the bar as the higher education infrastructure continues growing and the enrollments rise. Seven Indian Institutes of technology are among the overall National ranking of higher institutes of 2019 of the Ministry of Education. The seventh spot was secured by Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.

A: Write a LessonsViewset and define a get_queryset method like so:
class LessonViewsets(viewsets.ModelViewset):
    queryset = Lesson.objects.all()
    serializer_class = LessonSerializer
    permission_classes = []

    def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().get_queryset()
        student_id = Student.objects.get(
        users_lessons = Lesson.objects.select_related.("student").filter(student=self.request.user.id)
        return users_lessons

The viewsets from DRF is much effective. However you can use the ListCreateAPIView; just define the get_queryset method to return only lessons associated to the authenticated user.

A: There is a simpler way to make the reverse queries.
By default django allows you to make the reverse queries using default-related names which is <ModelName>_set.
for e.g. if you want to fetch all the lessons against some user.
user_instance.lesson_set.all()
Try to rewrite the LessonList View class as:
class LessonList(generics.ListCreateAPIView):

    # permission_classes = [DjangoModelPermissions]
    permission_classes = [AllowAny]
    queryset = Lesson.objects.all()

    serializer_class = LessonSerializer

    def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.request.user.lesson_set.all()

In a previous post, we explored how the 2007 introduction of banded methodology resulted in lower turnover for the Russell 2000 during index reconstitutions. While this is positive news for investors in index tracking funds, the broader question remains: how has this affected index performance? A closer look at the numbers reveals a significant reduction in price impact, which can be attributed to banding and other potential factors.
As a first step to measuring the impact of reconstitution on Russell 2000 performance, consider the performance of a strategy with long positions in stocks to be added to the Russell 2000 and short positions in those to be deleted. The table below reports the performance of such a strategy where both portfolios are capitalization weighted.
Negative performance of this strategy before recon day is beneficial for investors in the index tracking fund, as it is indicative of lower prices for adds to be bought and higher prices for deletes to be sold by the fund. After recon, positive performance is better for those investors as it is indicative of higher prices for stocks added and lower prices for those deleted.
The first table demonstrates that for the May-end to reconstitution date (June 30) time period average returns for 2007-2014 are lower than average returns for 2000-2006, which again is a positive for investors in index tracking funds. On the other hand, negative impacts after reconstitution are almost equal or smaller in magnitude for all four time periods after reconstitution, which is also favorable.
The performance of the adds-deletes strategy is not very informative regarding the effects on Russell 2000 performance for two reasons. First, it does not take into account the weight variation between the adds and deletes portfolios. Second, the adds and deletes portfolios weights are small in comparison to the Russell 2000 itself.
The next table shows the estimated impacts on Russell 2000 performance after reconstitution if adds and deletes are properly weighted. Positive returns to the adds portfolio increases index performance while positive returns to the deletes portfolio reduces index performance.
The table shows estimated impacts over four time horizons after index reconstitution. In all cases the average impact is much lower in the 2007 to 2014 period than in the 2000-2006 period. Focusing on the longest study window, at the end of August, the index impact is estimated to be an average of -1.28% over 2000-2006 but only -0.03% over 2007-2014.
In addition to being much lower in magnitude, the reconstitution price effect appears to peak at 10 days after reconstitution in the 2006-2014 period, while it is at a maximum at the end of August over 2000-2006. The peak at 10 days after reconstitution is consistent with the idea that there should be a partial reversal of impact on index performance as reconstitution price pressure effects reverse, leaving only possible index-inclusion effects.
These results are further supported by two recent academic studies. Petajisto (2011) conducts a study based on price changes between May 31 and June 30 over the period 1990-2005 and estimates reconstitution price effects on the Russell 2000 as being between 0.38% and 0.77% per year, which is generally consistent with our results for the 2000-2006 period.
Chang, Hong and Liskovich (2015) study Russell 2000 reconstitution over the period from 1990 to 2012. While they do not produce impact cost estimates, their conclusions are also consistent with our findings. They report a lower cost of indexing, but cite arbitrage efficiency as another potential reason behind this trend. The study suggests that "the force of arbitrage efficiency has increased faster than the effect of indexing," thereby putting downward pressure on indexing costs. They also find two other trends consistent with lower reconstitution price impacts: increasing volume and short interest ratios.
This mounting empirical evidence gives us good reason to believe that the average price impacts of Russell 2000 reconstitution have been significantly reduced and are currently at low levels.
For more detailed information on reconstitution see our latest research report, Russell 2000 Reconstitution Effects Revisited.
 The formula for index impact computation can be found on page 12 of Cariño and Pritamani, op. cit. Only time periods after index reconstitution are considered under the assumption that reconstitution-related decreases in the prices of stocks to be deleted that take place before index reconstitution are followed by price reversals afterward. The effects of Increases in the prices of deleted stocks are subtracted from index performance under this theory.

I spent much of Thursday evening browsing the Spring 2010 D.A.P. catalog. I'd never seen their catalog before and found it nearly as engrossing as my perennial favorite at this time of year, the Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds catalog, which has over 230 varieties of tomato for 2010, including the rare Russian Emerald Apple, the Barnes Mountain yellow, the Caspian pink, the Cherokee purple and the Henderson's Crimson Cushion. I don't have any space to grow tomatoes but I could make room for a couple of these books.
Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980. This is out at the end of April.
Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers. This one's out at the end of May. It's being published in connection with a Klein retrospective at the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden. There hasn't been a major Klein exhibit in the US in many years and I think it'll be kind of a big deal.
Honoré de Balzac, Treatise on Elegant Living. I've read quite a few of Balzac's novels but not anything in the way of essays or aphorisms. He's great with villains, frauds, and all manner of people on the make so I'm guessing an epigrammatic style suited him nicely. This is the first English translation of this title and the catalog describes it as "marking an important shift from the early dandyism of the British Regency to the intellectual and artistic dandyism of nineteenth-century France." The official date on it is Feb. 28 but you can get it from Amazon now.
Pedro Friedeberg. Pop-surrealist artist and designer monograph, out in March. In the meantime there's some interesting stuff on his site.
Sound in Z: Experiments in Sound and Electronic Music in Early 20th-Century Russia. Edited by David Rogerson and Matt Price. I don't really know anything about theremins and whatnot but but the intersection of science and music and kooky 20th century inventors is promising subject matter. (Exhibit A: a quick peek at Mr. Léon Theremin's Wikipedia page reveals that he also invented a big wooden box called "The Thing," which was presented to the US ambassador in Moscow by Soviet schoolkids and then used to eavesdrop on his office for the next five years or so, and a dance platform called the terpsitone that converted dance moves into tones). I'm also intrigued by the reference in the book's description to "Avraamov's 'Symphony of Sirens,' an open-air performance for factory whistles, foghorns and artillery fire first staged in 1922." Out at the end of March.
Birgit Jürgenssen. Edited by Gabriele Schor. Text by Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Elisabeth Bronfen and Sigrid Schade. Yes please, about time. I have saved several images of Jürgenssen's work over the past few years with her name in the back of my mind, used them as desktops and that sort of thing, but without ever following up. The short story is that she is an Austrian artist, born 1949, died 2003, but stay tuned for a Birgit Jürgenssen blog art show here sometime soon. This monograph is out in the US at the end of March; it looks like the German edition was out in 2009.
A Stick of Green Candy. Stories by Jane Bowles and Denton Welch. I've been meaning to read some Jane Bowles for a while now and this illustrated collection of four of her stories seems like an interesting place to start. Out at the end of March.
Clicking on any of the images above will take you to more info about the books on D.A.P.'s site.

Homofonia was the first gay interest TV talk-show in Poland in 2006–2008 on iTV network. It was dedicated entirely to the gay community. The topics of the show ranged from "Is gay OK?" to "Gay Art". The program was somehow controversial, even before the first episode aired. The most notable guests so included Maciej Nowak and Krystian Legierski.

Just back from a week's holiday blissing-out in Tonga, on a postcard-perfect tropical island surrounded by coral.
Fortunately this meant I missed the end of the Australian Election (yay!), and got to vote early (highly recommended – much calmer and less fuss than doing it on polling day) so as to satisfy Australia's compulsory voting requirement (and avoid the fine if you don't vote).
Our flight to Tonga was delayed by 3 hours, as an 83-year-old on the plane's inbound flight had died half way through the flight, so a number of ambulances and police cars pulled up at the gate when it arrived and the passengers were not able to leave until the paperwork had been processed. This meant we arrived in Tonga at about 1 AM, and got a boat to the island in the middle of the night, and arrived at about 2 AM.
Our fale (Tongan word for hut or house) was great; it used a traditional design largely open to the tropical air (good) and the mosquitoes (bad). Lots of space and privacy though. Map of Fafa island. There was no Internet, no phones in the room, no newspapers, no radio, no TV … love it! And the food was superb – there was fresh delicious seafood every day – especially lobster and fish – all locally caught daily from the surrounding ocean, and often cooked in coconut milk and served with rice. I gained about 2 kilos in a week!
I have to confess to being a total wuss when it comes to deep water and big sharks (I should never have watched Jaws, or Open Water). However, I deeply enjoy snorkeling coral reefs, and seeing smallish sharks in the wild. So when Rebecca saw a 1-metre Blacktip reef shark attacking a school of small fish a few metres out from the shoreline, I just had to go in and see if I could watch it up close. So put my mask and fins on, and swam out about five metres and stopped in the middle of the school of fish. The water was cloudy from all the sand stirred up in the water from the waves on the shore, so I spent about three minutes carefully looking to the left, looking to the right, looking straight ahead, before concluding that it wasn't there any more, and swimming back in. I stood up and yelled "It's not here any more – sorry, no shark!"… And then I noticed that Rebecca was wildly pointing and hopping up and down with frustration, and she told me that just after I had swam out, the shark had done a big circuit around me, and then had stopped dead in the water a few metres behind me with its dorsal fin sticking out of the water, and had just studied me for a few minutes as I was looking around, and had then swam off when I started turning around to swim in. And who says sharks don't possess a sense of irony?
Then on the daytime flight back to Sydney, we had a great view of the North Minerva Reef. I forgot to take a photo: sorry! However, this reef looks fantastic, and also rather out-of-place. It's roughly 500 kilometres of open Pacific Ocean away from the nearest land, surrounded by pure deep blue ocean, and then in the middle of the open ocean there's this circular reef all by itself, with no land or islands anywhere to be seen. The quality of the diving and snorkeling must be amazing – with that much distance to the nearest land the visibility would be stunning, and there would be no pollution, and hopefully few enough visitors to keep it pristine. The pilot described it thus: "The Minerva Reefs are a great place for yachties to be when the weather is good. However, you really want to avoid it when the weather turns bad". Sounds interesting – if I ever get a chance to go there, I think I'll have to do it!

A pastor sabbatical program is one of the best gifts a church can offer their pastors. And $50,000 grants from the Lilly Endowment's Clergy Renewal Program will make it easier than ever for pastors to get away for a time of refreshment and renewal.
A pastor's sabbatical is an extended break away from day-to-day ministry responsibilities for the purpose of renewal, reflection, and refreshment.
Many denominations are now recommending that churches give their pastors a sabbatical after seven years of service.
The typical sabbatical length for a senior or lead pastor ranges anywhere from two to four months, though some are just one month in length and others may be 6 months or more.
What Does a Pastor do on Sabbatical?
The pastor's sabbatical is a time for intentional personal and spiritual exploration, reflection, refocusing and renewal.
It is a time to drink deeply from the life-giving waters of God, for regaining enthusiasm and creativity for ministry. A pastor's sabbatical is not a vacation, although there should be times for recreation, travel, and play as part of the sabbatical.
No two sabbaticals are the same. Many pastors enjoy uninterrupted period for reading and writing, directed research at a theological school, a study trip to religious sites or travel for other purposes in the United States or elsewhere in the world, quiet time for rest and prayer, counseling, spiritual direction, special visits with family and friends, and more.
The key to a successful sabbatical for both the pastor and the church is to identify a general theme for the sabbatical, set clear goals of what you want to accomplish, and then create a basic plan to help you achieve those goals.
What Does the Church Do While the Pastor is on Sabbatical?
Many congregations focus on their own renewal and refocusing while the pastor is on sabbatical. Again, the key here is for the pastor and church board to identify a general theme, set clear goals of what you want to accomplish, and create a basic plan to help you achieve those goals.
Sometimes a church will bring in a consultant or coach to help the board and key leaders work through certain aspects of ministry. Most churches schedule special speakers to preach while the pastor is away.
The Lilly Endowment's Clergy Renewal Program is offering grants of up to $50,000 each to congregations to provide a sabbatical for their pastor.
Of that amount, up to $15,000 may be used for congregational expenses associated with the pastor's sabbatical; the remainder may be used by the pastor. The deadline for the 2019 sabbatical grants is April 11, 2019.
I have not yet experienced a sabbatical, but if I were to do it today, I think my general theme would be on spiritual entrepreneurship and business-as-mission, which are growing passions for me.
What about you? Have you gone on sabbatical before? If so, please share your experience. If you went on sabbatical today, what theme would you focus on?
Are Pastors Self Employed or Church Employees?

Country versus pharmaceutical company interests for hepatitis C treatment
Health Care Manag Sci. 2022 Dec;25(4):725-749. doi: 10.1007/s10729-022-09607-2.Epub 2022 Aug 24.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the leading causes of liver disease and is responsible for massive health and economic burden worldwide. The disease is asymptomatic in its early stages, but it can progress over time to fatal end-stage liver disease. Thus, the majority of individuals infected with HCV are unaware of their chronic condition. Recent treatment options for HCV can completely cure the infection but are costly. We developed a game model between a pharmaceutical company (PC) and a country striving to maximize its citizens' utility. First, the PC determines the price of HCV treatment; then, the country responds with corresponding screening and treatment strategies. We employed an analytical framework to calculate the utility of the players for each selected strategy. Calibrated to detailed HCV data from Israel, we found that the PC will gain higher revenue by offering a quantity discount rather than using standard fixed pricing per treatment, by indirectly forcing the country to conduct more screening than it desired. By contrast, risk-sharing agreements, in which the country pays only for successful treatments are beneficial for the country. Our findings underscore that policy makers worldwide should prudently consider recent offers by PCs to increase screening either directly, via covering HCV screening, or indirectly, by providing discounts following a predetermined volume of sales. More broadly, our approach is applicable in other healthcare settings where screening is essential to determine treatment strategies.

How Keanu Reeves accidentally married Winona Ryder
It turns out that Hollywood's favourite goth couple are accidentally husband and wife thanks to Francis Ford Coppola's realistic casting of priests in Dracula
Emma-Jane Betts
It turns out that one of Hollywood's favourite on-screen couples may accidentally be spouses in real life. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, while promoting the rom-com Destination Wedding, Winona Ryder revealed how she and Keanu Reeves unknowingly tied the knot on the set of the 1992 vampire movie – Bram Stoker's Dracula.
In the horror movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Ryder and Reeves play the gothic couple of Jonathan and Mina Harker, who unfortunately cross paths with the bloodsucker Dracula. In the film, we see the couple say their 'I dos', and apparently, that moment wasn't as fictional as it was meant to be.
"We actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to God I think we're married in real life," Ryder said. "In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest. We shot the master, and he did the whole thing. So I think we're married."
According to Ryder, the staged ceremony is legally binding – and since no mention of divorce has been made by either party involved, I guess it is still hilariously valid.
While Ryder's interview dates back to 2018, Reeves did comment in 2021 on how the two are still indeed "married" during an interview with Esquire.
"We did a whole take of a marriage ceremony with real priests," he said. "Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So I guess we're married under the eyes of God."
Reeves is currently in a relationship with visual artist Alexandra Annette Grant, while Ryder is dating fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn. So, before you ask, no, the actors aren't romantically involved with one another despite their marital status.
Fans can next see Reeves in the action movie John Wick 4, which hits theatres on March 24, 2023. And you can next catch Ryder in the upcoming Disney movie Haunted Mansion which releases on August 11, 2023.

529. Under the term "indeclinables" are included all those words which are incapable of any grammatical declension, that is: adverbs, prefixes, propositions, conjunctions and interjections.
Derivative adverbs, formed by means of suffixes.
These are formed by the addition to pronominal stems, and to the stems of nouns and adjectives, of certain suffixes.
Under this head come the "Adverbial derivatives from numerals" given in (279), and the "Pronominal derivatives" given in (336). The student ought now to read again these two classes of adverbs.
The suffix to (346), is also added to prepositions, nouns and adjectives, to form a very large class of adverbs; -to is an ablative suffix (120) and therefore the adverbs formed with it have an ablative sense.
From prepositions: abhito, near; parato, further.
orato, from the near shore.
Suffixes tra and tha (346), showing place, are also used with adjectives: a~n~natha or a~n~natra, elsewhere; sabbatha, everywhere; ubhayattha, in both places.
Suffix daa (345), is likewise used with adjectives and numerals: ekadaa, once; sadaa = sabbadaa, at all times, always.
dhi is used like dhaa (28, 283): sabbadhi, everywhere.
Suffixes so and saa (122, c, d) likewise form adverbs: bahuso, in a great degree; atthaso, according to the sense; balasaa, forcibly.
iti, (347) is extensively used as the particle of quotation; it is often abbreviated to ti (See Syntax).
532. (ii) Case-form adverbs Some cases of pronouns, and adjectives, are used adverbially.
Accusative case. This case is very much used adverbially: ki.m, why?; ta.m, there; ida.m, here; ya.m, because, since; from pronouns.
From nouns: divasa.m, during the day; ratti.m, at night; raho, in secret; sacca.m, truly; attha.m, for the purpose of.
From adjectives: cira.m, a long time; khippa.m, quickly; manda.m, stupidly.
Some adverbs of obscure origin may be classed as the accusative case of nouns or adjectives long obsolete. Such are: mitho, mithu, one another, mutually; ara.m, presently; sajju, immediately; tu.nhii, silently; ala.m, enough; saaya.m, in the evening; isa.m, a little, somewhat; jaatu, surely, certainly; bahi, outside.
The Instrumentive. This case also is much used adverbially.
From pronouns: tena, therefore; yena, because.
From nouns: divasena, in a day; maasena, in a month; divaa, by day; sahaasaa, suddenly.
From adjectives: cirena, long; dakkhi.nena, to the south; uttarena, to the north; antarena, within.
The Dative case. The adverbial use of the dative is restricted to atthaaya, for the sake of, for the purpose of; ciraaya, for a long time; hitaaya, for the benefit of.
The Ablative case, is used frequently in an adverbial sense; especially so is the case with pronouns: kasmaa, why?; yasmaa, because; tasmaa, therefore; pacchaa, behind, after; aaraa, afar off; he.t.thaa, below.
The Genitive case is seldom used adverbially; from pronouns we have: kissa why?; from adjectives: cirassa, long; from nouns: hetussa, causally.
The Locative is very often used adverbially: baahire, outside; duure, far; aviduure, not far; samiipe, santike, near; rahasi, privately, in secret; bhuvi, on earth, on the earth.
atha, atho, and, also, then; etc.
maa, expressing prohibition; maa is often used with the Aorist.
nanu, used in asking questions to which an affirmative answer is expected.
The above particles are called nipaataa by the grammarians, they number about two hundred.
Verbal prefixes have already been treated of (514).
a, and before a vowel an, not, without, free from.
e.g. abhaya, free from fear; abaala, not foolish; apassanto, not seeing; anaaloketva, without looking.
du and before a vowel dur, bad, ill, hard difficult.
e.g. dubba.n.no (33. Remark), ugly, ill-favoured; dubbiniito, ill conducted; duddamo, difficult to tame; duggo, difficult to pass; dujjano, a bad man; dukkaro, difficult to perform; dujjiiva.m, a hard life.
su has the contrary meaning of du: good, well, easy. It implies excess, facility, excellence.
e.g. subhaasito, well-spoken; subahu, very much; sudanto, well-tamed; sukaro, easy to perform; sulabho, easy to be obtained.
Remarks. After du, the initial consonant is generally reduplicated; reduplication seldom takes place after su.
sa, which is used instead of sam, (516), expresses the ideas of "possession, similarity; with, and; like; including."
e.g. sabhaariya, with (his) wife; salajja, having shame, ashamed; sabhoga, wealthy; savihaarii, living with; sadevaka, including the worlds of gods.
Remarks. The particle sa is the opposite of particle a, an.
533. It has been seen that verbal prefixes are proper prepositions and are used with nouns as well as verbs.
534. Many adverbs are used with a prepositional force along with nouns. Those of class (ii) case-form adverbs, are seldom used as prepositions, except perhaps those in -to.
535. Prepositions, or words used prepositionally may govern any case, except the Nominative and Vocative.
536. Most of the verbal prefixes require the noun to be in one case or other.
537. The cases mostly used with prepositions or prepositional adverbs are: the Genitive, the Instrumentive and the Accusative. But only a few are used separately from the noun they govern. For examples, see "Syntax of Substantives".
Copulative: ca, and, also, but, even. It is never used as the first word in a sentence; atha, and, then, now; atho, and also then.
Disjunctive: vaa, (never at the start of a sentence) uda, uda vaa, or vaa ... vaa, either or; yadi vaa, whether; yadi vaa ... yadi vaa, whether or; atha vaa, or else, rather; na vaa, or not; tathaa pi, nevertheless.
Conditional: yadi, sace, if; ce (never at the beginning of a sentence) if; yadi eva.m, yajj'eva.m, if so.
Causal: hi, for, because; certainly.
saadhu, well! very well! very good!
General Remarks. The use of some particles will be given in the chapter on Syntax.

Navigating in an increasingly complex regulatory world!
In a constantly evolving regulatory environment, companies must adhere to a growing body of rules and regulations as part of operations. Modern communications technologies have given rise to rules for privacy protection and wars have resulted in a growing volume of sanctions. Also, companies are more and more held accountable for unethical activities such as child labor, human rights abuses, and environmental damage.
We provide tailormade solutions for regulatory demands
As well in M&A transactions as in commercial contracting regulatory compliance issues have increasingly become a major factor. Regulatory compliance encompasses a broad range of topics, ranging from cartel and merger control rules, anti-corruption, privacy, sanctions to financial supervision and tax compliance.
European Union and Dutch Competition Law include rules to prevent cartels and abusive conduct by dominant undertakings and requires the notification and prior approval of mergers and other concentrations exceeding certain turnover thresholds. In the event of an effect on the EU internal market, the EU competition rules apply. Otherwise, the Dutch Competition Act will apply, which to a large extent applies the same principles as EU competition law.
The European Commission and The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) ensure fair competition between businesses and protects consumer interests. If you infringe the EU's or Dutch competition rules, you could end up being fined as much as 10% of your annual worldwide turnover. Therefore, compliance at every level of your organization is of utmost importance.
Corruption is a major disrupting force causing poverty, inequality and economic stagnation. Already in 1977, the United States of America adopted the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which criminalizes corrupt interactions with foreign officials. Since its implementation, the FCPA serves to prosecute domestic and foreign companies, who bribe officials outside of the United States. On 1 July 2011 the UK Bribery Act of 2010 came into force, targeting bribery and receiving bribes both towards national and foreign public officials. Furthermore, it is assigning responsibility to organizations whose employees are engaging in bribing and hence obliges companies to enforce compliance-mechanisms to avoid bribing on their behalf. The Netherlands does not have a separate anti-corruption act, but corruption is penalized as a criminal offence under the Dutch Criminal Code.
Given the extraterritorial effect of in particular the FCPA, also Dutch companies of groups active in the USA need to implement proper anti-corruption compliance policies.
On 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies in all EU Member States, including Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein as members of the European Economic Area (EEA). The idea behind the GDPR is to protect the personal data of European citizens while still allowing it to flow freely.
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Organizations must have a legitimate purpose to process personal data and must comprehensively inform data subjects about the use of their personal data and their rights of control over their personal data. Data subjects have the right (i) to access their personal data, (ii) rectification, (iii) erasure, (iv) restrict data processing, (v) to be notified, (vi) to data portability, (vii) to object to processing, and (viii) to reject automated individual decision-making.
Export of personal data from the EU/EEA is only allowed to countries for which the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision, confirming that the country offers an adequate level of data protection. In the absence of an adequacy decision, data export is only allowed if appropriate safeguards are n place such as Binding Corporate Rules or Standard Contractual Clauses.
In the Netherlands compliance with the GDPR is supervised by the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Based on the severity of non-compliance, fines may be levied up to EUR 20 million, or 4% of the worldwide annual revenue - whichever is higher.
In a world with growing political instability, Restrictive measures (sanctions) are an essential tool in the USA's and EU's foreign and security policy, through which they can intervene where necessary to prevent conflict or respond to emerging or current crises.
In spite of their colloquial name 'sanctions', EU restrictive measures are not punitive. They are intended to bring about a change in policy or activity by targeting non-EU countries, as well as entities and individuals, responsible for the malign behaviour at stake.
The EU has over forty different sanctions regimes in place. Some are mandated by the United Nations Security Council, whereas others are adopted autonomously by the EU. The USA and EU sanctions regimes tend to have a substantial overlap, although there are notable differences, e.g. in relation to Iran.
The task of conducting investigations into potential non-compliance cases falls to the EU Member States and their national competent authorities. It goes without saying that violating sanctions may have severe penal consequences.
In February 2022, the EU Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. Once adopted, this Directive will place an obligation on companies to identify, end and account for all negative impacts of their business operations on human rights, climate change and their environmental impact. Failure to do so may result in their directors being held accountable. The EU Member States must appoint an authority for enforcing the Directive.
After implementation by the EU Member States, the Directive will apply to the more than 9,400 European companies with more than 500 employees and a worldwide net turnover of more than EUR 150 million (Group 1), and after a 2 years' grace period to a second group of some 3,400 smaller companies with more than 250 employees and more than EUR 40 million turnover in high impact sectors, such as textiles, agriculture and mineral extraction. The Directive will also apply to over 2,600 non-European companies.

Go-everywhere orthotic slides get even more mileage from an outfit-making metallic print on the comfy neoprene upper. From Spenco.
Spenco Orthotic Neoprene Slide Sandals - Lingo is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 40.
Rated 1 out of 5 by natasha68 from Terrible Shoe Worst shoe I have ever purchased. Makes your feet sweat and then makes a suction sound. Does not have great support. Spend the extra money and purchase the vionics.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carbon-Girl from Lovely Lingo I bought this Spenco Neoprene slide sandal - Lingo in the pink color. I recently had foot reconstruction surgery and needed something easy on my foot but also supportive. I really like how comfortable the neoprene straps feel against my new incisions. The Spenco footbed is so supportive and my feet feel great wearing them. I bought my normal size 7 medium and the fit is true to size for me. I am very happy with this purchase.
Rated 5 out of 5 by molly543 from Comfy!!!! These sandals are so pretty and comfortable. Spencos, for me is a miracle shoe. I can always depend on the comfort. This style is more feminine than some others and they are very attractive. I own the pink and considering getting the other colors.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Conservative from Feels So Great! I ordered these a while ago and the weather didn't break until this past weekend, so I finally got to wear these absolutely PERFECT flat sandals. I purchased the neutral tan, and came back for the black but found they are sold out. So I am waiting for more to come in. I've always been a Vionic gal, but find some of them have far too high an arch, while others of theirs don't have enough support. So I'm happy to have found these; I wore them the whole day with no pain, no rubbing. The only thing that Spenco might consider is to make the straps adjustable, my foot has a low profile and these had plenty of room which could be a problem with women who have an even thinner profile than my own. Thank you, SPENCO! I'm a new convert . . . and your prices are much better for my budget. I'll be back for more.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hershe from First pair from Spenco, but not my last I bought these in the pink, that to me, are more of a blush than baby pink. The gold is a light gold rather than a rose gold as stated in the presentation I saw. I still love them. These are so comfortable right out of the box. I wish I could wear these to work! I am a true 6.5 and sized up to a 7, the fit is perfect, and as long as I slide my feet all the way in to start, they do not flop or slide off. I have an average width foot, but even when my feet swelled, they did not feel too tight or uncomfortable in the least.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Happyafter50 from Hard Faux Cork Foot Bed I had high hopes for this sandal because I really liked the comfort of the Kholo Wave style. The foot bed is hard almost like Birkenstocks, with minimal padding. I find the faux cork to be very warm. The neoprene straps fit securely on the foot but may be too tight if your feet are thick and wide or tend to swell. I wear a 9 1/2M, sized up to 10M. The fit is great, a smaller and more feminine fit than the kholo wave. I would definitely wear this style with a casual dress, but they lack the comfort that I was seeking. Returned.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ready2retire from Slide for Sure Returned these sandals because I could not keep them on my feet, they slide off while walking.

2014 Hyundai Accent Review – Inexpensive Little Hatch
Alfio Capicollo September 1, 2022, 2:03 AM 434 Views
There's a lot to like about the 2014 Hyundai Accent. It's stylish, efficient, and affordable – perfect for drivers on a budget. But what should you know before you buy one? In this comprehensive guide, we'll go over everything from performance to features. So whether you're considering buying an Accent or just want to learn more about it, read on!
The 2014 Hyundai Accent is available as a sedan or hatchback and is reasonably priced with good fuel economy figures. Safety ratings aren't outstanding, and it's boring to drive, but it's a reliable car with a peppy engine and comfortable cabin that deserves to be on your shortlist.
Whether you're considering the 2014 Hyundai Accent in its sedan or hatch configuration, you're probably shopping for a daily commuter that ticks all the boxes for comfort, convenience, safety, and reliability. But does the Accent have what it takes to convince you? And is it better to choose the sedan over the hatchback? Let's have a closer look.

2014 Hyundai Accent – A Comprehensive Guide
As an automaker, Hyundai has tried to develop practical and affordable cars, and in the Accent lineup for 2014, it has undoubtedly succeeded. There are two Accent models to choose from, with the family-friendly sedan available in one trim and the cheekier Hatchback variant available in two.
The new model year brings a few tweaks to the features list, including a one-touch turn signal, sliding sun visors, and a blind-spot mirror for the driver. You also now have the option of adding a tilt-and-telescoping steering column and projector headlights. There's also a new racing sport shifter added to the SE Hatch. Let's see how the 2014 Hyundai Accent stacks up.
2014 Hyundai Accent Size Cargo Space
While both available body types are on the smaller side, the 2014 Hyundai Accent sedan is a little more sizeable, thanks to the addition of its trunk. However, this doesn't necessarily translate to more cargo space. The 2014 Hyundai Accent hatchback has up to 47.5 cubic feet of cargo space if you fold down the rear seats and 21.2 cubes if you leave them up.
By contrast, the 2014 Hyundai Accent sedan only offers 13.7 cubic feet in the trunk, and although you can stow the seats as well in a 60/40 split, it's the five-door hatch that offers more practicality. Regarding the subcompact sedan segment, the Accent sedan is generally on par with rivals when it comes to size and space.
2014 Hyundai Accent Interior
The sedan and hatchback variants of the Accent are designed to tackle the daily commute, so seating and interior space are essential. Seating five is the aim, and in both configurations, the occupants of the front seats will be pretty happy with the space allocated to them. Even taller passengers have enough headroom and legroom upfront.
With sufficient adjustability on the seats and steering column, the driver and front passenger won't have much difficulty getting comfortable.
The back seats are spacious, except for the middle seat, which is obviously quite cramped. Ideally, it would be best if you only used it for small kids in a pinch – it's best to keep the back row to two adults as a rule.
Cabin Look And Feel
Thanks to a comprehensive redesign in 2012, the interior of the 2014 Hyundai Accent is a much more contemporary and elegant space than ever before. Hyundai has gone to great lengths to use high-rent materials and focus on an ergonomic, flowing layout that makes it easy to feel at home, whether you're the passenger or driver.
The Accent comes with cloth seating as standard, although the Premium Package adds a premium fabric when specified. This is also standard on the top-spec SE Hatchback. While luxury and opulence are not even close to being on the menu, comfort certainly is. The seats feel sturdy and supportive and are comfortable. Some plastics are present throughout the cabin, but that's to be expected at this price point.
2014 Hyundai Accent Performance And Specs
Whether you choose the four-door sedan or the five-door hatch, the 2014 Hyundai Accent comes standard with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gas engine that makes 138 horsepower and 123 lb-ft off torque. All variations are front-wheel drive, but you do have the option of a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic, with the latter offering an Eco mode if you're particularly conscious of your gas budget.
The 2014 Hyundai Accent specs aren't bad for the segment, and the peppy powertrain is admirable overall, but the idea here was never to sprint to 60 mph; instead, expect around ten seconds for the 0-60 race and high revs to get the little car moving.
Driving Feel
Hyundai manages to create cars that do as they are told and react in a comfortingly predictable way. The 2014 Hyundai Accent is no different, with off-the-line speed, steering, and handling that is entirely on par with what is expected of it. This isn't a racer, so it doesn't act like one.
What you do get is a little car that is nippy and agile in traffic and around parking lots while also being easily maneuvered on back roads and highways. It will hustle you where you need to go without a fuss, which most people shopping in this segment are looking for. That obviously won't do for gearheads who like to make a scene and announce their arrival. This is not the car for you if that's the case.
Another area where the Accent excels is in terms of gas mileage figures. According to the EPA, the manual Accent is most frugal, with city/highway/combined estimates of 27/37/31 mpg. This drops only slightly to 26/36/30 mpg when you opt for the automatic. These are excellent ratings, although not quite class-leading.
Across the range, the 2014 Hyundai Accent has an 11.4-gallon fuel tank, which means you should manage between 340 and 350 miles on a full tank of gas.
Features And Tech
Both base models come with a generous feature specification which includes satellite radio, one USB port, CD player, a six-speaker sound system. Air conditioning and power accessories in the cabin are standard, as are heated exterior mirrors and remote keyless entry. If you want a little more on your sedan, you'll need to add the Premium Package for Bluetooth and cruise control.
The top-of-the-range 2014 Hyundai Accent SE Hatchback is a little more kitted out with a sliding armrest, a sportier steering wheel, fog lamps, and a few appearance upgrades.
Safety Scores
The NHTSA's crash testing revealed some interesting scores. While all four tests returned four stars out of five, the authority includes a critical concern noted on side crash tests for rear passengers. The IIHS concurs, awarding an Acceptable score for side crash tests and only the lowest score of Poor for the small overlap front: driver side evaluation.
Despite these being rather dismal scores, all Hyundai Accent models come with six airbags, stability and traction control, ABS, and brake assist.
Reliability And Problems
There are very few 2014 Hyundai Accent problems to speak of. Neither the 2013 nor the 2014 Hyundai Accent suffered any recalls, and J.D. Power rates the Accent range at an overall 84 out of 100 on its consumer rating scale, which is high praise.
When it was released back in 2014, the Hyundai Accent range offered America's best warranty, which included powertrain cover for ten years or 100,000 miles, and a new vehicle limited warranty of five years/60,000 miles.
Price And Value
MSRPs for the 2014 Hyundai Accent GLS started at around $14,645 for a sedan with the manual gearbox. Opting for the automatic added $1,000 to the base price. The Hatchback in GS trim was priced at $14,895 and $16,095 for the manual and automatic, respectively. The 2014 Hyundai Accent price peaks for the top trim, with $16,395 for the manual SE and topped out at $17,395 for the SE automatic.
If you're looking at a used 2014 Hyundai Accent, you can expect to pay anything from around $9k to $10k, depending on condition, mileage, and options.
Our Verdict on the 2014 Hyundai Accent
The 2014 Hyundai Accent offers a compelling, reasonable package for those who need something reliable to transport them from A to B. The bonus is that there's even an eager engine under the hood to help hurry you along. And, with excellent fuel economy figures, you'll be saving at the pumps, too.
But is this enough to recommend the Accent to buyers? Safety ratings aren't ideal and whether you buy the hatchback or sedan version, it's not the most fun car to drive. Still, if you're shopping in this segment, chances are good you're not looking for a performance car at all, and if you go with the hatchback, you have the option of a sportier look with a few added extras in the SE trim. The Accent is worth a look.

Das Glück ist ein Tonmärchen in einem Akt des Komponisten Rudolph von Procházka (op 15); für das Libretto zeichnete Theodor Kirchner verantwortlich.

Handlung
Der Einsiedler Winfried verrichtet vor seiner Hütte seine Morgenandacht (Lied "Schon ist der stille Wald erwacht"). Plötzlich erscheint ihm das Glück und bittet um Schutz und Hilfe. Winfried vermeint aber einem teuflischen Spuk ausgesetzt zu sein und weist das Glück schroff ab. Nun zeigt sich das Glück in seiner wirklichen Gestalt und beteuert, das traurigste und unglücklichste Ding auf dieser Welt zu sein. Jedermann verfolgt das Glück gleich der wilden Jagd und gönnt ihm keine Ruhe.

Schon nähern sich wieder Verfolger und Winfried schickt das Glück in seine Hütte. Dort soll es sich mit Winfrieds Kutte verkleiden und auch sonst unkenntlich machen. Die Verfolger halten vor dem Einsiedler und jeder besteht auf seinem Anspruch auf das Glück. Als der Dichter erklärt, das Glück bedeute Entsagung, verweist der Einsiedler auf seine Hütte. Die Verfolger dringen ein, finden aber zu ihrer Enttäuschung nur einen alten Mann.

Als sie Winfried bedrohen, entschuldigt der sich und verrät, dass sich das Glück im Wald hinter seiner Hütte versteckt hätte. Die Verfolger nehmen die Verfolgung wieder auf (Lied "Wir müssen alles lassen"). Sobald diese verschwunden sind, erscheint das Glück aus der Hütte und dankt Winfried für seine Hilfe. Das Glück bittet Winfried, bei ihm bleiben zu dürfen und lässt zum Dank für seine Zustimmung rund um die Hütte Blumen wachsen und alle Vögel des Waldes ihm ein Ständchen bringen (Duett "Ich fühle, auch mich verlebten Mann").

In der Waldeinsamkeit beim Einsiedler Winfried fühlt sich das Glück zum ersten Mal glücklich. Es wundert sich nur, dass dieser keine Wünsche habe; Vorschläge, ihn wieder hübsch, jung und weise zu machen lehnt er ab. Als das Glück weiter insistierend nach seinen Wünschen fragt, wünscht er sich aller Leiden des Lebens befreit ledig zu sein. Das Glück erschrickt darüber, möchte ihm aber dennoch diesen Wunsch erfüllen. Winfried müsse nur das Glück küssen, um diese Bitte gewährt zu bekommen.

Allerdings fürchtet der gläubige Einsiedler, durch diesen Kuss die Sünde der Wollust in ihm zu entfachen. Er betet, dieser Versuchung widerstehen zu können (Duett "Ich fliehe zu dir") und will sich im Wald in kontemplativer Ruhe zurückziehen. Das Glück beklagt sein Schicksal, den Menschen kein Glück mehr bringen zu können. Getröstet durch den Wind, dem Bach und den anderen Stimmen des Waldes schläft das Glück ein; seit langem wieder einmal glücklich (Chor "Nun laßt uns verstummen").

Inzwischen ist der Einsiedler zu seiner Hütte zurückgekommen. Seinen inneren Frieden hat er nicht gefunden, aber als er das Glück schlafend vor seiner Hütte sieht, will er es küssen. Er stimmt ein Lied an ("Der Wald ringsum") und küsst das Glück. Ein Dornenstrauch wollte ihn noch zurückhalten, doch vergeblich. Wie es ihm das Glück prophezeit hat, sinkt der Einsiedler beim Kuss augenblicklich tot zu Boden. Dadurch erwacht das Glück und bemerkt, was geschehen ist.

Nun muss das Glück sich erneut dem Ansturm und der Verfolgung der Menschen stellen. Langsam verschwindet das Glück und auf Winfrieds Leiche regnen Rosen. Mit dem Chor der Luftgeister "Vom Erdenleid für immer befreit" fällt der Vorhang.

I love outdoor cooking, especially when I'm camping, and waking up to a Dutch Oven Dutch Baby smothered in sweet berries is such a treat for my family!
I used to be so afraid of dutch oven cooking. It was so mysterious to me. Cooking in a pot with no stove? Say what? I was so afraid of it that I borrowed a friend's dutch oven for two years in a row until I finally got my own beautiful, American made, Lodge camping dutch oven. If you camp, you must own one of these.
Dutch oven cooking is similar to canning, in my opinion. Do they really have anything to do with one another? No. But here are the similarities I found: 1. Both have been done for hundreds of years. 2. I stayed away from trying both either because they intimidated me. 3. Both are super easy once you get the hang of them.
A Dutch baby, also known as a German pancake, is just a very egg-y pancake. I consider the taste and texture similar to a crepe. The recipe starts by melting an entire cube of butter in the hot pan – aw yeah – and then you pour the batter in and cover it all up with a piping hot lid.
While its cooking, do yourself a favor and make all the other campers around you jealous by wafting the wonderful aroma of bacon and breakfast sausage in their direction.
Those dutch oven lids are pretty darn heavy, and my super puffy pancake was actually strong enough to lift the lid right off the base! Of course, it sinks as soon as you take the lid away, but it was fun to watch at the time.
You can cover this thing with syrup, but I much prefer fresh berries and some powdered sugar along with a squeeze of lemon.
Slice it up into six good sized portions and watch them disappear!
And because I'm absolutely smitten with food shots of sugar falling on top of fresh berries atop and piping hot dutch baby, I figured I'd give you one more close up to drool over.
I love outdoor cooking, especially when I'm camping, and waking up to a Dutch Oven Dutch Baby smothered in sweet berries is such a treat for my family!
Using a 12 inch (8 quart) dutch oven, prepare 24 charcoals.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest (this can be done ahead of time). When you're ready to cook, add the flour and salt and whisk together until well blended.
When the coals are nice and hot, place 8 coals directly under the dutch oven. Add the cube of butter and allow to melt. Once melted, add the batter to the pot, cover, and add remaining 16 coals to the lid.
Rotate the lid 1/4 turn every 5 minutes and allow the dutch baby to cook until set, about 25 minutes. It should puff up all the way to the lid and once the lid is removed it will fall. Remove from heat.
Cover with berries, powdered sugar, and a squeeze of lemon. Replace lid and allow the berries to warm before serving. Cut into 6 slices and enjoy!
Ive never made a Dutch baby in my Dutch oven before. Great idea for camping!
That was an amazing Dutch Baby. Made it camping and the family loved it!
Can this be done in an oven with Dutch oven pot? If so what temp and how long?
I would do 425 for 20-25 minutes.

FBI warns of possible 'Boogaloo' violence at MN Capitol this weekend
Matt Sepic MPR News
The FBI says members of a far-right group that wants to foment a second civil war scouted out the Minnesota State Capitol ahead of a pro-Trump rally planned for this weekend.
A memo to law enforcement from the FBI's Minneapolis field office says that "a few Minnesota-based followers of the Boogaloo movement" identified police sniper locations and said buildings with snipers would "need to be blown up" to protect Boogaloo fighters.
The Dec. 29 memo, first obtained by Yahoo News, says the group did not plot a specific attack, but would use violence if a fight broke out.
A spokesperson for the FBI in Minneapolis says the bureau doesn't comment on its internal discussions, but agents are identifying potential threats and are sharing the information with other agencies.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told CNN Tuesday morning that such threats would not go unanswered.
"People who would engage in such lawless behavior need to know that there will be a response and that we're not going to cower in the corner we're gonna step up and hold them accountable," he said.
On Monday, Gov. Tim Walz revealed that state troopers entered the living quarters of the the governor's residence in St. Paul this weekend to evacuate his 14-year-old son as a pro-Trump crowd gathered outside.
On Tuesday, the governor began a three-stop tour of state historic sites to urge Minnesotans to tone down political animosity and work together to protect democracy.
In December, a member of the Boogaloo Bois who participated in protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd pleaded guilty to terrorism charges.
Benjamin Ryan Teeter, 22, of Hampstead, N.C., admitted that he tried to sell gun silencers to an FBI informant who Teeter thought was a member of Hamas.
Michael Robert Solomon, 30, of New Brighton, Minn., is also charged in the case, and is expected to plead guilty in March. Federal prosecutors say Solomon and Teeter offered to work as mercenaries for Hamas in order to fund Boogaloo activities.
The men came to the attention of law enforcement after they were seen carrying guns on the streets of Minneapolis during the unrest in late May.
Another alleged member of the Boogloo Bois, Ivan Harrison Hunter, 26, of Boerne, Texas, is facing a federal riot charge after authorities say he fired an AR-style rifle at the 3rd Precinct police station as it burned.
