Q: JavaFX: 'disabling' TableView rows and columns I have a TableView and wish to allow the user to disable individual rows and columns.
The table data are provided by an API so the exact number of rows and columns is not known until run-time, though typically it will be 4-30 rows and 15-25 columns. Ideally the first column / row would be a header and the last would be a footer (i.e.: a summary of the data above / to the side of it). Once the user has performed some other action, they should be able to disable a row or column - preferably by clicking the header - and so remove those data from the summary.
The row / column should still be visible. Sorting is not required. Editing is not required.
I am aware that JavaFX only really supports a column header, not a row header, and certainly not footers for either. This leads me to think that the best option would be to:

*

*Remove the TableView headers entirely.

*Style the first and last columns / rows as headers / footers.

*setCellSelectionEnabled to true

*If the selected cell is a header cell, 'disable' the row or column; probably through a combination of CSS styling and removing the cell value from the summary.

*If the selected cell is not a header cell, perform a different action.

*If the header cell is clicked again, re-enable the row or column.

Is this the best method? Are there any third-party libraries which might make the job easier? It it even worth dumping the TableView altogether and using a GridPane?
Thank you.

A: As @Jacks has pointed out, there doesn't seem to be a short-cut for this. So here is how I've solved the problem.
First, we hide the table header and allow cells to be selected individually. The updateTable() method is called every n seconds; it simulates a ScheduledService API call. The MyRow object is just a wrapper for an ObservableList<TableCell>, and we use that because we don't know how many columns there will be until run-time.
COLUMN_HEADER, ROW_FOOTER, etc. are enums.
private void updateTable() {
    Pane header = (Pane) myTable.lookup("TableHeaderRow");
    header.setVisible(false);
    myTable.getSelectionModel().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
    myTable.setLayoutY(-header.getHeight());
    myTable.autosize();

    List<MyRow> list = new CopyOnWriteArrayList();
    Integer maxRows = 5, maxColumns = 5; // For example
    MyRow row;
    for (int rowId = 0; rowId <= maxRows; rowId++) {
        Boolean isEmpty = myTable.getColumns().isEmpty();
        row = new MyRow();
        Integer total = 0;
        for (int colId = 0; colId <= maxColumns; colId++) {
            if (isEmpty) {
                myTable.getColumns().add(createReactiveColumn());
            }
            TableCell cell = new MyTableCell();
            if (rowId == 0 && colId == 0) {
                // Top-left cell
            } else if (rowId == 0) {
                // Column title
                cell.setUserData(COLUMN_HEADER);
                cell.setText("CH" + Integer.toString(colId));
            } else if (colId == 0) {
                // Row title
                cell.setUserData(ROW_HEADER);
                cell.setText("RH" + Integer.toString(rowId));
            } else if (colId == maxColumns) {
                // Row 'footer'
                cell.setUserData(ROW_FOOTER);
                cell.setText(Integer.toString(total));
            } else if (rowId == maxRows) {
                // Column 'footer'
                cell.setUserData(COLUMN_FOOTER);
                cell.setText("CF" + Integer.toString(rowId));
            } else {
                // Data
                Integer r = new Random().nextInt(9); // Simulate API data
                if (!this.disabledColumns.contains(myTable.getColumns().get(colId))) {
                    total += r; // Sum of each enabled cell
                }
                cell.setUserData(DATA);
                cell.setText(Integer.toString(r));
            }
            row.add(cell);
        }
        list.add(row);
    }
    myTable.getItems().setAll(list);
}

The TableColumn just employs the setCellFactory() method:
private TableColumn<MyRow, String> createReactiveColumn() {

    TableColumn<MyRow, String> column = new TableColumn<MyRow, String>();
    column.setCellFactory(new Callback<TableColumn<MyRow, String>, TableCell<MyRow, String>>() {
        @Override
        public TableCell<MyRow, String> call(TableColumn<MyRow, String> param) {
            return new MyTableCell();
        }
    });
    column.setSortable(FALSE);
    column.setMinWidth(40d);

    return column;
}

MyTableCell adds a MOUSE_CLICKED Event Handler, as well as copying the text from the updated TableCell.
private class MyTableCell extends TableCell<MyRow, String> {

    Boolean hasEventHandler = FALSE;

    @Override
    protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
        super.updateItem(item, empty);
        if (!empty && getTableRow() != null && getTableRow().getItem() != null) {
            MyRow er = (MyRow) getTableRow().getItem();
            TableCell cell = er.get(getTableView().getColumns().indexOf(getTableColumn()));
            this.setText(cell.getText());
            if (cell.getUserData() instanceof MyTableCellEnum) {
                MyTableCellEnumcellType = (MyTableCellEnum) cell.getUserData();
                if (null != cellType && !hasEventHandler) {
                    switch (cellType) {
                        case COLUMN_HEADER:
                            addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
                                @Override
                                public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
                                    toggleColumn(getTableColumn());
                                }
                            });
                            hasEventHandler = TRUE;
                            break;
                        case ROW_HEADER:
                            addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
                                @Override
                                public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
                                    toggleRow(getTableRow());
                                }
                            });
                            hasEventHandler = TRUE;
                            break;
                        case DATA:
                            addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
                                @Override
                                public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
                                    // Do other action on selection
                                }
                            });
                            break;
                        default:
                            break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Finally, the toggle methods just swap the row / column between a Set of disabled TableRow / TableColumn objects and update the CSS:
private void toggleRow(TableRow tableRow) {
    if (this.disabledRows.contains(tableRow)) {
        this.disabledRows.remove(tableRow);
        tableRow.getStyleClass().remove("cell-disabled");
    } else {
        this.disabledRows.add(tableRow);
        tableRow.getStyleClass().add("cell-disabled");
    }
}

private void toggleColumn(TableColumn tableColumn) {
    System.out.println(tableColumn);
    if (this.disabledColumns.contains(tableColumn)) {
        this.disabledColumns.remove(tableColumn);
        tableColumn.getStyleClass().remove("cell-disabled");
    } else {
        this.disabledColumns.add(tableColumn);
        tableColumn.getStyleClass().add("cell-disabled");
    }
}

It works and I'm mostly happy with it. The inclusion of the hasEventHandler Boolean is not ideal: it seems a bit hacky but I couldn't find any other way of registering an Event Handler only once while ensuring that it actually works.
Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. I'll leave it a few days before accepting my own answer in case of a better idea.

Place: Mantua
Time: the Sixteenth century
Scene 1: A room in the palace
At a ball in his palace,[25] the Duke sings of a life of pleasure with as many women as possible: "Questa o quella" ("This woman or that"). He has seen an unknown beauty in church and desires to possess her, but he also wishes to seduce the Countess of Ceprano. Rigoletto, the Duke's hunchbacked court jester, mocks the husbands of the ladies to whom the Duke is paying attention, including the Count Ceprano, and advises the Duke to get rid of him by prison or death. The Duke laughs indulgently, but Ceprano is not amused. Marullo, one of the guests at the ball, informs the courtiers that Rigoletto has a "lover", which astonishes them. The courtiers resolve to take vengeance on Rigoletto for making fun of them. The festivities are interrupted by the arrival of the elderly Count Monterone, whose daughter the Duke had seduced. Rigoletto provokes him further by making fun of his helplessness to avenge his daughter's honor. Monterone confronts the Duke, and is immediately arrested by the Duke's guards. Before being led off to prison, Monterone curses Rigoletto for having mocked his righteous anger. The curse terrifies Rigoletto, who is superstitious and, like many people at the time, believes that an old man's curse has real power..
Scene 2: A street, with the courtyard of Rigoletto's house
Preoccupied with the old man's curse, Rigoletto approaches his house and is accosted by the assassin Sparafucile, who walks up to him and offers his services. Rigoletto declines for the moment, but leaves open the possibility of hiring Sparafucile later, should the need arise. Sparafucile wanders off, after repeating his own name a few times. Rigoletto contemplates the similarities between the two of them: "Pari siamo!" ("We are alike!"); Sparafucile kills men with his sword, and Rigoletto uses "a tongue of malice" to stab his victims. Rigoletto opens a door in the wall and returns home to his daughter Gilda. They greet each other warmly: "Figlia!" "Mio padre!" ("Daughter!" "My father!"). Rigoletto has been concealing his daughter from the Duke and the rest of the city, and she does not know her father's occupation. Since he has forbidden her to appear in public, she has been nowhere except to church and does not even know her own father's name.
When Rigoletto has gone, the Duke appears and overhears Gilda confess to her nurse Giovanna that she feels guilty for not having told her father about a young man she had met at the church. She says that she fell in love with him, but that she would love him even more if he were a student and poor. As she declares her love, the Duke enters, overjoyed. Gilda, alarmed, calls for Giovanna, unaware that the Duke had sent her away. Pretending to be a student, the Duke convinces Gilda of his love: "È il sol dell'anima" ("Love is the sunshine of the soul"). When she asks for his name, he hesitantly calls himself Gualtier Maldè. Hearing sounds and fearing that her father has returned, Gilda sends the Duke away after they quickly trade vows of love: "Addio, addio" ("Farewell, farewell"). Alone, Gilda meditates on her love for the Duke, whom she believes is a student: "Gualtier Maldè!... Caro nome" ("Dearest name").
Later, Rigoletto returns: "Riedo!... perché?" ("I've returned!... why?"), while the hostile courtiers outside the walled garden (believing Gilda to be the jester's mistress, unaware she is his daughter) get ready to abduct the helpless girl. They tell Rigoletto that they are actually abducting the Countess Ceprano. He sees that they are masked and asks for a mask for himself; while they are tying the mask onto his face, they also blindfold him. Blindfolded and deceived, he holds the ladder steady while they climb up to Gilda's room: Chorus: "Zitti, zitti" ("Softly, softly"). With her father's unknowing assistance Gilda is carried away by the courtiers. Left alone, Rigoletto removes his mask and blindfold, and realizes that it was in fact Gilda who was carried away. He collapses in despair, remembering the old man's curse.
The Duke's Palace
The Duke is concerned that Gilda has disappeared: "Ella mi fu rapita!" ("She was stolen from me!") and "Parmi veder le lagrime" ("I seem to see tears"). The courtiers then enter and inform him that they have captured Rigoletto's mistress: Chorus: "Scorrendo uniti" ("We went together at nightfall"). By their description, he recognizes it to be Gilda and rushes off to the room where she is held: "Possente amor mi chiama" ("Mighty love beckons me"). Pleased by the Duke's strange excitement, the courtiers now make sport with Rigoletto, who enters singing. He tries to find Gilda by pretending to be uncaring, as he fears she may fall into the hands of the Duke. Finally, he admits that he is in fact seeking his daughter and asks the courtiers to return her to him: "Cortigiani, vil razza dannata" ("Accursed race of courtiers"). Rigoletto attempts to run into the room in which Gilda is being held, but the courtiers block the way. Gilda enters. The courtiers leave the room, believing Rigoletto has gone mad. Gilda describes to her father what has happened to her in the palace: "Tutte le feste al tempio" ("On all the blessed days"). In a duet Rigoletto swears vengeance against the Duke, while Gilda pleads for her lover: "Sì! Vendetta, tremenda vendetta!" ("Yes! Revenge, terrible revenge!").
A street outside Sparafucile's house
A portion of Sparafucile's house is seen, with two rooms open to the view of the audience. Rigoletto and Gilda arrive outside. The Duke's voice can be heard singing "La donna è mobile" ("Woman is fickle"), laying out the infidelity and fickle nature of women. Rigoletto makes Gilda realize that it is the Duke who is in the assassin's house attempting to seduce Sparafucile's sister, Maddalena: "Bella figlia dell'amore" ("Beautiful daughter of love").
Rigoletto bargains with the assassin, who is ready to murder his guest for 20 scudi. Rigoletto orders Gilda to put on a man's clothes to prepare to leave for Verona and states that he plans to follow later. With falling darkness, a thunderstorm approaches and the Duke decides to spend the rest of the night in the house. Sparafucile directs him to the ground floor sleeping quarters, resolving to kill him in his sleep.
Gilda, who still loves the Duke despite knowing him to be unfaithful, returns dressed as a man and stands outside the house. Maddalena, who is smitten with the handsome Duke, begs Sparafucile to spare his life. Sparafucile reluctantly promises her that if by midnight another victim can be found, he will kill the other instead of the Duke. Gilda, overhearing this exchange, resolves to sacrifice herself for the Duke, and enters the house. Sparafucile stabs her and she collapses, mortally wounded.
At midnight, when Rigoletto arrives with money, he receives a corpse wrapped in a sack, and rejoices in his triumph. Weighting it with stones, he is about to cast the sack into the river when he hears the voice of the Duke, sleepily singing a reprise of his "La donna è mobile" aria. Bewildered, Rigoletto opens the sack and, to his despair, discovers his dying daughter. For a moment, she revives and declares she is glad to die for her beloved: "V'ho ingannato" ("Father, I deceived you"). She dies in his arms. Rigoletto cries out in horror: "La maledizione!" ("The curse!")
Teatro La Fenice ("The Phoenix") is an opera house in Venice, Italy. It is one of the most famous theatres in Europe, the site of many famous operatic premieres. Its name reflects its role in permitting an opera company to "rise from the ashes" despite losing the use of two theatres (to fire and legal problems respectively). Since opening and being named La Fenice, it has burned and been rebuilt twice more.
The Teatro La Fenice was founded in 1792. In the nineteenth century, the theatre staged the world premieres of numerous operas, including Rossini'sTancredi, Sigismondo and Semiramide, Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues) and Beatrice di Tenda, Donizetti'sBelisario (Belisarius), Pia de' Tolomei, and Maria de Rudenz, and Verdi's Ernani, Attila, Rigoletto, La traviata and Simon Boccanegra.
In the last century, the Fenice has also placed a special emphasis on contemporary productions, welcoming the world premieres of Stravinski's The Rake's Progress, Britten's The Turn of the Screw, Prokofiev's L'angelo di fuoco (The Fiery Angel), Nono's Intolleranza (Intolerance) and Maderna's Hyperion. Recent premieres have included Kagel's Entführung im Konzertsaal (Kidnapping in the Concert Hall), Guarnieri's Medea, Mosca's Signor Goldoni and Ambrosini's Il killer di parole (The Killer of Words).
With a seating capacity for over one thousand people, the Fenice boasts excellent acoustics (which were improved when the theatre was rebuilt after the devastating fire of 1996), a 98-member orchestra and 66-person opera chorus, a dedicated local audience and a large international following. The theatre is a leading creative venue, staging more than one hundred opera performances per year, a major symphonic season conducted by prominent conductors from across the globe (including frequent collaborations with Myung-Whun Chung, Riccardo Chailly, Jeffrey Tate, Vladimir Temirkanov and Dmitrij Kitajenko), the full cycles of symphonies by Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms and Mahler, a contemporary repertoire focused especially on Venetian artists such as Nono and Maderna, ballets, and chamber music concerts.
The theatre is owned by the Municipality of Venice and managed by the Fondazione Teatro La Fenice, a private body whose members include the State of Italy, the Veneto region, the Municipality of Venice and numerous public and private institutions. The foundation also runs a second theatre, the Teatro Malibran (formerly known as the Teatro di San Giovanni Grisostomo), which dates back to 1678.
The leadership of the Fondazione includes General Manager Cristiano Chiarot, Artistic Director Fortunato Ortombina, Principal Conductor Diego Matheuz and Chorus Master Claudio Marino Moretti.

The best things in life come in small packages, just like this week's mixtape.
Following stripped back early tracks, Why Don't You Look At Me sees Lily Moore with a bigger production, but fans of her stunning tones needn't fear – her smoky vocals glide through this classic jazz-infused number.
The title track from Mark Ronson's upcoming collection of sad bangers sees the Academy Award winning producer collaborate with Lykke Li for a shimmering bop, with airy vocals, a strong bass groove and steel drums a plenty.
At just 16-years old, Alfie Templeman is creating the sort of psych/indie crossovers that are as intriguing as they are hypnotising – just as you're letting Stop Thinking (About Me) carry you away, it stops and builds itself back up again.
Manchester seems to be the home address of nostalgia-hitting indie gems and Ozzard is no exception to the rule by combining retro pop-indie hooks with airy vocals.
Dom Youdan – Is Your Lover Still Cool?
Not sure about any lovers but this track is certainly still cool due to effortlessly blending in elements of RnB slow jams with soft synths and breezy rhythms. Very cool.
Sometimes there's nothing more you need in life than to bounce around the room to a sassy pop beat while belting out life-affirming and empowering lyrics. Emma Blackery has your back.

It's time New Zealand also got their spin bowling in shape: Ian Smith
Former New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Ian Smith wants the Kane Williamson-led side to also learn a few spin tricks, which would help them compete more efficiently and effectively on sub-continental pitches suited for slow bowlers.
As the tourists' opening Test against India entered the fifth day with India holding the upper hand on a spin-friendly Green Park wicket in Kanpur, Smith, a veteran of 63 Tests and having scored more than 1800 runs, said that he had no doubt in his mind that "spinners will win the Test".
"In these vital spinning Tests, it's more important and apparent than ever. The spinners will win this Test. That was a given the day this tour was announced way, way back," said Smith on sen.com.au on Monday.
"It's so lopsided in their favour it's not funny. Just as it is for the quicks when we host teams here. Unfortunately though for us, that is now coming to our detriment in the subcontinent, and we'll always do so unless we learn to play it better," he added, indicating that a quality spinner in the New Zealand ranks, which is overflowing with pacers, could have done the trick in India.
Smith said that while it was a great achievement that pace bowlers Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson had kept New Zealand going in the Test till the fifth day, it's time the team learned to bowl spin better.
"It's a hell of a compliment to Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson that we're actually still playing this Test match. For India, 10 out of the 11 scalps they've got so far are to spin. They opened the bowling with two spinners in the second innings," said Smith.
"We have to learn to bowl it (spin) better, and when we do, we'll learn how to play it better. It might be time to invest in some full-time overseas coaching or maybe discover a Devon Conway type who can turn it square," averred Smith.
The former cricketer said that even if New Zealand survive the Test, it would only be a temporary thing and they would continue to struggle against spin in sub-continental settings.
"Surviving today (Monday) is temporarily sealing the cracks. We have to get more revolutions on the ball and stop hiding in the grass."

In Search of Harajuku Style
By Richard Milner
Japan is often romanticized. Samurai and ninja, sushi and karaoke, anime and manga, shrines and skyscrapers, kimono and cosplay: these are some of the things that come to mind when foreigners think of Japan. Travelers often come to Japan hoping to see these cultural elements firsthand.
One Tokyo neighborhood, in particular – Harajuku – spawned its own distinctive style. This Harajuku style began as a counter-cultural movement, but so swiftly popularized that it became a staple of pop culture from the 1990s to the mid-2000s. Clothing stores in Harajuku sold bombastic clashes of color and style that, once layered with belts, buckles, accessories, hair ribbons, and combat boots, made the wearer look like a cartoon character.

In a society with immense pressures to conform, incessant person-to-person surveillance of public behavior, and a sharp sense of aesthetics, fashion is a tool of personal expression. It is upfront and impossible to ignore, whilst at the same time easy to remove (unlike, say, a tattoo). Oddities in dress are used to reflect oddities in character. Harajuku was therefore a place of refuge for people who resisted Japanese cultural pressures.
Oddities in dress are used to reflect oddities in character.
Harajuku style spread overseas in the 90s through anime, manga, magazines, and pictures on social media. Fruits magazine, in particular, featured many pictures of Harajuku fashion and was consumed by the international fashion community. American musician Gwen Stefani's 2004 album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. included the song "Harajuku Girls" and her tours featured a quartet of Japanese backup dancers, "the Harajuku Girls," helping to popularize Harajuku style overseas.
Today, though, Japanese people have moved on and Harajuku style is a relic of an idealized past, like the samurai of feudal Japan. Many have lamented the passing of Harajuku style to the march of homogenized, big box stores like Uniqlo. The small, quirky, even ramshackle little shops that used to line Harajuku's streets have given way to the same kind of brand-name stores found in any downtown district in Tokyo or any major city in the world. Only Takeshita Street retains a trace of the distinctive Harajuku style, but it's now mostly full of tourists, who come to gawk and photograph this pale reflection of the Harajuku of the past, like people going to Seattle hoping to see its 80s grunge scene, or to London hoping to see its 90s rave culture. The Japanese people in the area are either passing through or lining up for creperies or fried-food stalls, and are usually dressed in clothes that look like they came from Uniqlo, H&M, or Zara. There is no single style that exemplifies Japan's counterculture anymore. Counterculture is still loosely connected to neighborhoods, but it's spread out across different parts of Tokyo and associated with specific art-deco bars or underground music clubs. Thus it is that Harajuku style now lives mostly in the minds of those who've never seen it.

Takashita Street
What is it about Harajuku style that makes it so appealing to people overseas? Maybe it's a simple desire to buck norms and express individuality and creativity in a world of largely homogenized fashion. And perhaps the Japanese mystique makes it all the more attractive.
Regardless, there's no harm in foreigners clinging to the memory of a largely extinct piece of Japanese culture. Harajuku style never "belonged" to anyone; that was the point. No Japanese person will complain about the cultural appropriation of Harajuku style. Travelers late to the party are welcome to come live out their dream, whilst locals watch, bemused.

Prophecy: Queen Elizabeth Needs Prayer for Bold Move
9:00AM EDT 9/18/2019	 Jennifer LeClaire
Queen Elizabeth II (Wikimedia Commons)
On Sept. 13, 2019, at Awakening House of Prayer South London, I saw a vision of a crown rotating. Then I saw a scepter.
I heard the Lord say, "Pray for Queen Elizabeth to have boldness. She will need to make a bold move. One more bold move."
With Oct. 31 looming and the difficulties gaining a majority in Parliament, could Queen Elizabeth use her "royal prerogative" to determine the fate of the United Kingdom as it relates to Brexit?
We did see her offer royal assent to a piece of legislation seeking to prevent Prime Minister Boris Johnson from taking the United Kingdom out of the European Union without an exit deal on Oct. 31. She is aware of the battle for Britain.
Could the 93-year-old monarch be something like a Queen Esther of our time to save a nation? Will she be forced to fire Prime Minister Boris Johnson if he receives a vote of no confidence?
The monarchy has already taken loads of criticism for suspending Parliament at Johnson's request, but she would likewise have taken loads of criticism if she had denied his request.
How the Modern English Version Was Dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II
Charisma Media CEO Presents Modern English Version of the Bible to Queen Elizabeth II
Could Queen Elizabeth, who has historically remained out of the political fray as constitutional monarch, wield her influence at this critical moment in the nation's history?
While some are speculating about the end of the monarch, could this constitutional crisis reveal the wisdom and authority of the queen to step in when the government is out of answers?
Let's pray for boldness for the queen at such a time as this. Let's pray she will follow the leading of the Lord so that His will is done in the United Kingdom.

Q: Create alias with paramater in the middle I want to create an alias for grep like this:
grep argX ~/myfile

where argX is a parameter and myfile is always the same. How can I do this?

A: Alias don't supports parameter but you can write a small script and name it i.e. "filegrep"
#!/bin/bash
grep "$1" /home/youruser/myfile

Copy the script to /usr/bin and you can run it with filegrep argX in the console.

A: Aliases do not support positional parameters so you need to create a function (which you can put in ~/.bashrc). If you really want and alias, you could alias that function.
function grepMe(){
    grep "$1" ~/myfile
}

Then, if for some reason you want there to be an alias, you can make one for the function:
alias grepAlias="grepMe"

A: Here I found an alternative without using functions:
alias grepAlias='bash -xc '\''grep $0 ~/myfile'\'''

For example using Silver Searcher:
alias superlocate='bash -xc '\''ag -g $0 --hidden'\'' 2>/dev/null'

Сувалкія або Судовія (лит: Sūduva або Suvalkija або Užnemunė,  пол: Suwalszczyzna) — найменший із п'яти культурних регіонів Литви. Це традиційно заможний регіон  на південному заході довкола Маріямполє. Люди з Сувалкії називаються лит: suvalkiečiai (множина) або лит: suvalkietis (однина). Він розташований на південь від річки Неман, на колишній території Вілкавішкіського єпископату.Історично це найновіший етнографічний регіон тому,як найвиразніші його характеристики та окрема регіональна ідентичність, сформувалася в 19 столітті, коли територія була частиною російської Польщі.Він ніколи не був окремим політичним утворенням, і навіть сьогодні регіон не має офіційного статусу в адміністративному поділі Литви. Однак він продовжує залишатися предметом досліджень, присвячених литовській народній культурі 19 - початку 20 століть.

Назва

У Литві до регіону застосовують три різні назви, що викликає певну плутанину:
  Судовія  () походить від древнього  балтійського племені судувів, корінних мешканців регіону. Термін Судовія неоднозначний, оскільки він також використовується для позначення всього регіону розселення судувів в давнину і який простягається набагато далі на південь.
 Сувалкія  походить від колишньої  Сувальської губернії (1867–1914) у складі російської Польщі.  Місто Сувалки ( ) входило до складу Литви з 13 століття до 1795 року, а Польщі - з літа 1920 року.
 Ужнемуне ()(дослівно: за річкою Неман) описує географічне розташування регіону, але не зовсім точно. Південно-західна частина Дзукії, іноді відома як Дайнава , також знаходиться на лівому березі річки . Райони чітко виокремилися внаслідок значної різниці в економічному розвитку в Сувалкії (північ Ужнемуне) та Дзукії (південний схід Ужнемуне) .
В останні роки відбувалися публічні дискусії щодо того, яке ім'я, Сувалкія чи Судовія, є кращим. Історики стверджують, що "Судовія" - це анахронізм, що відноситься до земель в 13-14 століттях. Один коментатор назвав спроби перейменувати регіон "неотрибалізмом" - штучна спроба знайти зв'язки з давно вимерлим племенем. Прихильники "Судовії" протестували проти використання терміну, накладеного на регіон Російською імперією, тим більше, що місто Сувалкі знаходиться в Польщі, і нинішній регіон не має з ним ніякого зв'язку. Вони також стверджували, що термін `` Сувалкія  є досить недавнім і штучним політичним утворенням, популяризованим радянськими істориками, і що більш архаїчний `` Судовія  'точніше відображає історичні корені регіону. Суфікс  -ija  зазвичай не використовується в  литовській мові для утворення назви топонімів від назв міст (єдиним винятком є  Вільня , що використовується для визначення  Віленського краю). Офіційна петиція Ради з Захисту Етнічної Культури Сувалкії  до  Комісії з литовської мови, що вимагала офіційної зміни назви з  Сувалкія  на  Судовія , була відхилена в 2005 році. Комісія обгрунтувала своє рішення тим, що назва Сувалкія переважає як в академічній літературі, так і в повсякденному житті.

Історія

Політична історія

Землі судувів (ятвягів) були включені до складу Великого князівства Литовського протягом 13 століття. Регіон часто спустошували тевтонські лицарі, і більшість його жителів покидали його. Після Мельнського договору 1422 року його західні кордони були закріплені, і ця територія стала єдиною власністю самого Великого князя. У 1569 р. Велике князівство приєдналося до Польського королівства, утворивши Річ Посполиту. Співдружність була розділена в 1795 році, а Сувалкія, як частина більшої території на лівому березі річки Неман, була включена до складу провінції Східна Пруссія. Це означало, що Сувалкія була відокремлена від Литви, яка відійшла до Російської імперії. У 1807 р. Сувалкія ненадовго входила до складу герцогства Варшавського, невеликої польської держави, створеної Наполеоном Бонапартом, перед тим як бути приєднаною в 1815 р. до російської Польщі, утвореного в рамках особистої унії з Російською імперією. Протягом решти ХІХ століття та початку ХХ століття Сувалкія адміністративно входила до складу Августівської губернії, а пізніше  Сувальської губернії. Статистика російських переписів населення показала, що литовці складали незначну більшість у північній частині губернаторства, а поляки, зосереджені в регіоні Сувалки на півдні, становили близько 23% від загальної кількості населення губернаторства . Литва та Польща стали незалежними державами після Першої світової війни і оскаржили свої кордони в цьому регіоні.
Сувальська губернія була розділена більш-менш за етнічними ознаками. З тих пір Сувалкія стала частиною Литви, а
Сувальський край - частиною Польщі.

Економічна історія

Сувалкія здавна відома як багатий сільськогосподарський край. Підвищений попит на деревину спричинив переселення та вирубування лісів у регіоні протягом 16-17 століть. Попит призвів до незаконних набігів для вирубки дерев із Герцогства Пруссія. Щоб запобігти цьому, Великі князі литовські створили кілька прикордонних сіл між Юрбаркас і Вірбаліс.Королева Бона Сфорца, яка керувала землями від імені свого чоловіка Сигізмунда I Старого між 1527 і 1556 роками особливо підтримувала ці нові поселення.  Переселення йшло з півночі, особливо з районів вздовж річки Неман. Великій князь надав великі ділянки в користування місцевій шляхті, зокрема родині Сапіг.  Ці поселення повільно поширювалися далі на південь та схід.
До середини 17 століття темпи переселення сповільнились. Попит на деревину різко зменшився, дотогож Велике князівство Литовське втратило майже половину населення через Північні війни (1655–1661), голод та чуму. Поселенців приваблювали її родючі сільськогосподарські угіддя, які в основному були очищені від лісів, і відносна легкість панщини в цьому районі: оскільки значна частина землі належала самому Великому князю, кріпаки не повинні були виконувати corvée.  Залюднення приватних володінь шляхти на півночі відбувалося набагато повільніше. Іншим важливим фактором відродження району була близькість Східна Пруссія та її столиці Кенігсберг. Місто стало головним торговим центром і було другим за величиною місцем експорту (після Риги, Латвії) Великого князівства.  Місто Кудіркос Науместіс стало воротами регіону до Пруссії. Коли Північна війна (1700–1721) продовжила знелюднювати Литву, заселення Сувалкії майже було завершено.
Кріпосне право в Сувалкії було скасовано в 1807 році Наполеоном Бонапартам: селяни набули особистих свобод, хоча не могли володіти землею. Це змінилося лише в 1861 році, коли кріпосне право було скасовано у всій Російській імперії. Після повстання 1863 р. Селяни отримали безкоштовну землю (їм більше не потрібно було викупляти землю у дворян). До 1820-х років  фермери в Сувалкії почали розділяти свої села на окремі садиби (литовське: однина - vienkemis, множина - vienkemiai) . Цей стан є чітким показником економічного процвітання серед селян. Стара система з трьома полями застарівала; за цією системою землею керувала громада, і люди не могли впроваджувати жодних технологічних досягнень без їхнього схвалення . На відміну від цього, в інших частинах Литви цей процес не розпочався, поки кріпосне право не було скасовано по всій Імперії в 1861 році, посилившись після Столипінської реформи 1906 року.
Дострокове скасування кріпосного права, родючі землі та тісні економічні зв'язки зі Східною Пруссією сприяли відносно високому добробуту Сувалкії. Ця ситуація призвела до сталого уявлення, що її мешканці дуже раціональні, кмітливі та надзвичайно ощадливі, навіть жадібні.  Такі стереотипи, що стосувалися й інших регіонів, спричинило  багато анекдотів і практичних жарти.

Сувалкія залишається найменш лісистою територією Литви (у 2005 р. Ліси покривали 21,6% Маріампольського повіту, тоді як ліси займають 32% країни в цілому).  Третій за величиною ліс у Литва, ліс Казлу Руда () знаходиться в Сувалкії, але знаходиться на піщаному ґрунті, непридатному для землеробства.  Сувалкія залишається одним із найважливіших сільськогосподарських регіонів Литви, збираючи великі врожаї цукрових буряків.

Культурна історія

Спочатку регіон населяло балтійське плем'я судувів (звідси і назва "Судовія").Протягом Середньовіччя Тевтонські лицарі часто здійснювали набіги на регіон , намагаючись завоювати та охрестити язичницьке Велике князівство Литовське. В результаті більша частина стародавньої Судовії стала малолюдною, вкритою великими лісами, територією. Після Грюнвальдської битви 1410 р., яка поклала край хрестовим походам проти Литви, територія повільно почала заселятися поселенцями з Жемайтії  та Аукштайтії. Вони принесли свої культури, які поєдналися з культурою судувів, і  поступово сформувалася етнологічно відмінна культура,яка поєднала жемайтські та аукштайтські елементи з місцевими .
Суттєві зміни відбулися в кінці 18 - на початку 19 століть. Сувалкія була відокремлена від Литви. Хоча наполеонівський період був коротким, він призвів до тривалих наслідків. Серед цих наслідків найважливішими були запровадження наполеонівського кодексу, використання григоріанського календаря та скасування кріпосного права майже на 50 років раніше, ніж на решті території Литви. Селяни здобули особисту свободу та можливості поліпшувати добробут. Регіон також пропонував кращі освітні можливості для своїх мешканців - Вчительська семінарія Вейверія і Гімназія Маріямполе продовжували свою діяльність у той час, коли більшість навчальних закладів Литви були закриті після січневого повстання 1863 проти Російської імперії. Студенти також могли відвідувати римо-католицькі семінарії в Сейнах та Каунасі. Згідно з переписом населення, проведеним у 1897 р., рівень грамотності серед селян Сувалківської губернії був найвищим у Російській імперії. Мешканці Сувалкії також були одними з перших і найчисленніших емігрантів до США .
Ці події призвели до формування нового добре освіченого класу, який підживив Литовське національне відродження у другій половині 19 століття  . Серед багатьох відомих діячів регіону були патріарх литовської незалежності Йонас Басанавічюс, Вінцас Кудірка, автор гімну литовської держави, та Йонас Яблонскіс, лінгвіст, якому часто приписують створення стандартизованої литовської мови. Діалекти, на яких розмовляли на Сувалкії, стали основою сучасної мови . Відродження, яке раніше було зосереджене на сході Жtмfйті, поступово перейшло до Сувалкії завдяки діяльності цих видатних діячів та її кращим економічним умовам .

Народна культура

Мова

Традиційна класифікація литовських діалектів розділила сувальські діалекти на два розділи: Занавикай, що розмовляли на півночі, та Капсай, що розмовляли на півдні. Ці два субдіалекти часто описуються як основа стандартної литовської мови.  Однак виявилося досить складно визначити мовні характеристики, унікальні для цих регіонів, оскільки характеристики надзвичайно різноманітні та нерівномірно розподілені .  Переглянута класифікація діалектів, запропонована в 1965 р., усуває це розмежування та об'єднує піддіалекти Занавикай, Капсай та Центральний Аукштайт як єдину підгрупу, названу Каунаськім піддіалектом . 'західного аукштайтського діалекту.  Територія цього субдіалекту охоплює значно більшу територію, ніж Сувалкія, і тягнеться за річку Неман.
Західний аукштайтський діалект, на відміну від інших діалектів литовської мови, зберігає змішані дифтонги an, am, en, em та голосні огонек ą і ę . Діалект підрозділяється на піддіалекти Каунасу та Шяуляю. Піддіалект Каунасу, на відміну від піддіалекту Шяуляй, у більшості випадків відокремлює довгі та короткі голосні та підкреслює закінчення слів так само, як і стандартна литовська. Оскільки вони мали тісні економічні контакти зі Східною Пруссією, люди з Сувалки запозичили ряд німецьких слів . У період з 2003 по 2006 рр. Видавничий інститут "Наука та енциклопедія" видав тритомний словник занавикайського піддіалекту. З 1973 року муніципалітет Шакіяйського району щорічно організовує День мови, щоб заохотити збереження субдіалекту.

Одяг

Традиційний селянський одяг в Сувалкії, хоча і складається з тих самих основних предметів, його можна чітко відрізнити від одягу з інших регіонів Литви. Оскільки регіон був відносно заможнішим, одяг був багатшим за кольором, оздобленням та орнаментом, виготовлявся з кращих і дорожчих матеріалів, зокрема парчі, шовку, вовни та дамаску. Регіональні відмінності існували навіть у межах Сувалкії. Жінки-капсайки носили довгі широкі сукні з великими малюнками зірок та тюльпанів, напівтемного кольору та частково в смужку. Костюм Занавикай - один з найбільш декоративних за дизайном, кольором та стилем.

La Expedición 66 fue la 66.ª y anterior misión de larga duración a la Estación Espacial Internacional. La misión comenzó el 17 de octubre de 2021, con la partida de la Soyuz MS-18 y finalizó el 30 de marzo de 2022 con la marcha de la Soyuz MS-19.

Misión

La misión Crew-2 de SpaceX se esperaba que regresase a la Tierra a mediados de noviembre después de la llegada de la Crew-3, y los cuatro miembros de la tripulación, los astronautas de la NASA, Robert S. Kimbrough, K. Megan McArthur, el astronauta de la JAXA, Akihiko Hoshide junto al astronauta de ESA, Thomas Pesquet, en su segunda misión europea Alpha como comandante inicial de la expedición, pasarían a formar parte de la tripulación de esta expedición de forma temporal siendo transferidos desde la Expedición 65, hasta la llegada de la Crew-3 a partir del 30 de octubre de 2021 con el resto de la tripulación permanente de esta expedición. Pero debido al retraso del lanzamiento de la Crew-3, finalmente la Crew-2 regresó a la Tierra el día 9 de noviembre antes de la llegada de la Crew-3, que llegó el día 11 de noviembre de 2021.

El 4 de octubre de 2021, Thomas Pesquet asumió el mando de la estación durante el pequeño corto periodo de tiempo de relevos que debía llegar a tener 11 personas en la estación, pero finalmente solo fue comandante de la expedición en su primera parte con 7 personas a bordo. La expedición propiamente dicha la compusieron: Los cosmonautas de Roscosmos, Anton Shkaplerov como comandante de la expedición, que llegó a la estación en la Soyuz MS-19 el 5 de octubre de 2021 y Piotr Dubrov, que junto al astronauta de la NASA, Mark T. Vande Hei, que llegaron a bordo de la estación el 9 de abril de 2021 en la Soyuz MS-18, poco antes de la partida de la Soyuz MS-17 para asegurar una presencia rusa continuada en la estación, y que permanecieron en la estación en una misión ampliada durante casi un año (355 días) consiguinedo el 4.º récord conjunto de permanencia seguida en el espacio. Los últimos componentes de la expedición permanentes, fueron los miembros de la misión, SpaceX Crew-3, tres de la NASA, el veterano astronauta Thomas Marshburn, los novatos Raja Chari y Kayla Barron, junto con el astronauta Matthias Maurer de la ESA, en su primera misión europea Cosmic Kiss, formaran la Expedición 66 de 7 miembros propiamente dicha, hasta el 18 de marzo de 2022, momento en que llegó la nave de relevo, Soyuz MS-21 para la futura Expedición 67. La expedición terminó con la vuelta a la Tierra de la Soyuz MS-19 el 30 de marzo de 2022.

Tripulación

Tripulación de la Expedición

Tripulación visitante EP-20

Es la primera misión turística realizada en una soyuz por la empresa Space Adventures, desde el paron de 2009, ya que anteriormente había planificado y ejecutado ocho misiones de este tipo a la ISS con un total de 7 turistas espaciales (uno de ellos viajó 2 veces) de 2001 a 2009. Además es la primera misión a la ISS con dos cosmonautas no profesionales como turistas, sin contar con la tripulación de la Soyuz MS-19, ya que era una misión oficialmente de Roscosmos. También, es la primera misión espacial en la que un turista ha pagado el billete a otro para que sirva como su asistente de producción en órbita, ya que Yusaku Maezawa se ha dedicado a realizar una serie de vídeos. En su blog, Maezawa ha publicado videos, hablando desde cómo funciona el nuevo baño del módulo Nauka o cómo se lava uno los dientes en el espacio, hasta cómo era su camarote a bordo del módulo Zvezdá.

Actividad extravehicular

En esta expedición se realizaron un total de 4 EVA,s. Tres en el segmento americano desde el módulo esclusa QUEST y una en el ROS desde el módulo esclusa MIM-2, Poisk.

La primera EVA de esta expedición y la última caminata espacial del año 2021, se realizó el 2 de diciembre de 2021, después de que fuera aplazada el día 30 de noviembre debido al riesgo por aproximación de escombros espaciales a la ISS. Fue realizada desde el segmento espacial americano, la US EVA-78 por los astronautas de la NASA, Thomas Marshburn y Kayla Barron con una duración total de 6 H y 32 minutos, en la que se realizaron trabajos de mantenimiento de la estación, centrados en la sustitución de un subconjunto de antena de banda S (SASA).

El 19 de enero de 2022 se realizó la primera actividad extravehicular del año 2022, la EVA-51 desde el Segmento Orbital Ruso (ROS). Los participantes fueron los cosmonautas de Roscosmos Anton Shkaplerov y Pyotr Dubrov. La duración de la salida fueron 7 horas y 11 minutos fuera de la ISS, en el que se realizaron trabajos en el nuevo Módulo Prichal que llegó el pasado 26 de noviembre de 2022. Se integró en el segmento ruso de la ISS y se preparó para el acoplamiento de naves espaciales tripuladas y de carga. Para esto, Shkaplerov y Dubrov instalaron y conectaron las antenas del sistema de encuentro pasivo Kurs-P en la superficie exterior del nuevo módulo ruso, movieron una cámara y colocaron un cable de televisión entre los módulos Prichal y Nauka y también blancos montados para atracar naves espaciales. Fue la tercera salida en la carrera espacial de Shkaplerov y la cuarta de Dubrov.

La primera nave, que atracó en el nuevo módulo Prichal el 18 de marzo de 2022, fue la nave espacial tripulada Soyuz MS-21, cuya tripulación principal incluye a los cosmonautas de Roscosmos Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev y Sergei Korsakov que serán miembros de la futura Expedición 67.

El 15 de marzo de 2022 se llevó a cabo la segunda caminata espacial del año y tercera de esta expedición, esta vez realizada desde el segmento espacial americano, la US EVA-79 por los astronautas de la NASA, Raja Chari y Kayla Barron, con una duración total de 6 horas y 54 minutos, en el que se trabajó en la preparación para la instalación del panel solar iROSA 3A, que será el tercero en instalarse de los 6 que están planeados para aumentar la potencia de la estación de 160 kW a 215 kW.

La cuarta y última caminata espacial de esta expedición, la US EVA-80 se realizó el 23 de marzo de 2022 por los astronautas, Raja Chari y Matthias Maurer de la ESA.
Ambos astronautas realizaran diversas tareas de mantenimiento para preparar la próxima instalación de paneles solares iROSA y además completaron su objetivo principal de instalar mangueras en un módulo de válvula de haz del radiador que dirige el amoníaco a través de los radiadores de rechazo de calor de la estación para mantener los sistemas a la temperatura adecuada, también instalaron un cable de alimentación y datos en la plataforma científica Bartolomeo del módulo Columbus y reemplazaron una cámara externa en el armazón de la estación, además de realizar otras actualizaciones de hardware de la estación. La duración total de la salida fue de 6 horas y 54 minutos fuera de la estación.

Tras la finalización de la caminata espacial se descubrió una fina capa de humedad dentro del casco del astronauta de la ESA Matthias Maurer, después de la represurización de la esclusa de aire QUEST de la estación, lo que provocó el inicio de una investigación, que incluyó el envío del traje espacial de regreso a la Tierra que usó Maurer para su análisis en la misión de abastecimiento SpaceX CRS-25 en agosto y que no hubiera ninguna salida extravehicular desde el segmento americano en la Expedición 67.

Nigerian Brother In Jussie Smollett Case Used Gay Slurs On Empire Set
Ola and Abel Osundairo are the two Nigerian-American brothers who claimed Jussie Smollett hired them to staged the Jan. 29 attack. Earlier this week, homophobic tweets surfaced, which were deleted but now it is being reported they used anti-gay slurs on the set of "Empire." The brothers said in a public statement they are not homophobic.

The Daily Mail exclusively reports Alex McDaniel was an actor on set with Abel Osundairo when they filmed at Cook County Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago in July of 2015. McDaniel said, "I was hired to be on the set to play a gang banger for season two of the show. I remember meeting the brothers, the smallest one was quite well-mannered and well-tempered, very quiet and barely spoke. His brother who was taller was a little more agitated about what he was seeing that day."
He continued, "I swapped a few words with the taller brother. I remember we were doing a prison scene and Lee Daniels (the director), who is openly gay, asked all the guys with muscles to take their shirts off. I just remember his attitude being very funky and very stank like."
They were on set for 12-13 hours and a conversation began with the group of actors about having a gay friend, "It became very uncomfortable for me, the taller Nigerian guy was very agitated about the fact of me being gay, Lee Daniels being gay, gay people period, he was not okay with that notion."
McDaniel claims Abel said, "I would never have a gay friend, I don't really like gay people." Another actor, Ticarus Bunch, was there and told Daily Mail that Abel went further, calling gay people "f**gots." Bunch said the conversation was also about the show "Empire being groundbreaking for LGBT characters. Bunch claims Abel said, "Then it came round to having homosexual friends and the Nigerian said, 'hell no, I won't have no gay people around me, no f*****ts around me, f**k that.' He was real adamant about it.
Alex McDaniel reportedly "cursed him out" but everyone tried to remain calm because they didn't want to ruin the opportunity on "Empire." Both McDaniel and Bunch said Ola was much nicer and introverted. Another witness, Lawrence Johnson Jr., confirmed the incident happened.
The Chicago Police Department claimed the brothers told them the attack was orchestra by Jussie and they were paid $3,500. The brothers released the following statement: "We are not racist. We are not homophobic and we are not anti-Trump. We were born and raised in Chicago and are American citizens."
However, The Blast reported two tweets were deleted this past week. Ola Osundairo tweeted in 2013, "Why you following Frank Ocean … you know that ni**a gay right." Another message read, "YOU'RE GAY THATS WHO YOU ARE." Ola also once wrote, "I don't follow any man. I follow woman."
Earlier this week, TMZ reported the FBI said the Chicago Police were "overstating" when they said Jussie sent a hateful Jan. 22 letter to himself. One federal law enforcement source told TMZ, "I think he [Johnson] went too far. We're not there yet."
TMZ also reported, "We're told authorities are trying to determine if the pages have the lettering found in the letter. They're also checking the postage stamp against the stamps found in the brothers' apartment." The Nigerian brothers, Abel and Ola Osundairo, denied sending the letter.
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson may have also gone too far when he said Jussie paid the brothers $3,500 to stage the attack. TMZ reports they "obtained documents that on the surface back his claim the $3,500 check he wrote to Abel was for training. The check was written to Abel on January 23, 2019, six days before the 'attack.' The memo line reads, '5 week Nutrition/Workout program Don't Go.'" "Don't Go" is a song for a music video where he would appear shirtless.
TMZ also reported, "There are various texts starting from January 20 between Jussie and Bon. On January 28 — the day before the 'attack' — Bon [Abel Osundairo] wrote, 'I know you're traveling today, make sure you get at least 45 mins of cardio.' Another text on January 20 outlines a menu for the day, including chicken thigh, StarKist Tuna, Eggs and Smucker's peanut butter. And, a text on January 25 reads, 'This is the meal plan and the breakdown of macronutrients. Also includes projected fat loss.'" The $3,500 breakdown was reportedly "$600 a week for the workout plan for 5 weeks, and $100 a week for the nutrition plan for 5 weeks," according to TMZ reports.
The brothers were also on video appearing to buy items allegedly used for the attack.

CIVIL: Stop torture and responsibility for the death of prisoners!
The situation in Macedonia's prisons is more than alarming. CIVIL – Center for Freedom has been for years urging the institutions to take immediate measures for improving the conditions in prisons, for respecting human rights of detained persons and prisoners and for putting an end to torture in detention centers and prisons in Republic of Macedonia. For years, detention has been used as a harsh punitive measure. These are just some of the findings and observations of the situation in this sphere.
CIVIL demands for the institutions to respond immediately to the given questions.
The competent institutions and the staff in the prison institutions have to bear responsibility for the death of prisoners, including the newest case concerning the death of Erdal Jusinov, which is the reason for CIVIL's latest address to the Directorate for execution of sanctions, the Ministry of Justice and other competent institutions.
Erdal Jusinov, a 25 year old boy, died on March 22, 2017 under mysterious curcumstances in a prison in Stip, two months after his imprisonment. Young Erdal was sentenced to one year in prison for theft.
The testimonies of those close to him and his neighbors indicate serious anomalies and flaws of the prison service and of the doctors. Alledgedly, they had not given him first aid for entire four hours, while Erdal was in pre-mortal agony.
The family of the deceased boy from Stip also tell about the crime in the prison in Stip and about the discrimination that is made on Roma prisoners.
Erdal left a wife and two small children to the mercy of the system.
The prison in Stip is called "Shesti" (Sixth). It is located six kilometers from the city.
We requested information for this tragic case from the authorities in the prison in Stip, but they directed us to the Directorate for execution of sanctions. We contacted them as well. In a telephone conversation, a representative from the Directorate requested that we send them the questions by email. There has been still no response.

Community: We would love to share your upcoming event with our audience in our 'What's On' section. Please complete the below application form and we will be in ...
By MiNDFOOD	| January 12, 2016
This product is turning your leftovers into cooking gas for communities in need.
A brand new start up is revolutionising the way we recycle. Focussed on transforming our otherwise unrecyclable leftovers into useable energy, HomeBioGas is providing a safe and socially conscientious way to help those in need.
Focussing on products that otherwise cannot be composted, the invention takes food waste and animal manure and converts them into cooking gas and liquid fertiliser.
Their aim is to supply impoverished and developing communities with a safe and financially viable source of energy – where they would otherwise be using dangerous and expensive indoor cooking methods.
The system works by adding bacteria to a mixture of waste and water which starts a fermentation process. This in turn creates a combination of methane and carbon dioxide.
The goal of the company is to reach the farmers and families in developing countries and communities in low-income areas who have no choice but to use alternative cooking methods, resulting in a dangerous and environmentally damaging process.
The harmful byproducts emitted by such methods are responsible for the premature death of approximately 4 million people every year, according to the World Health Organisation's report on household air pollution.
The pilot program has already been installed in the Palestinian village of al-Awja in Jordan Valley and already the benefits are being seen.
Oshik Efrati, chief executive officer of HomeBioGas told Reuters that he hoped "the product would save many lives in rural areas across the world where smoke from cooking on an open fire causes severe respiratory illness and death."
"This system will be available to everyone that needs it in the developing world. It will eliminate waste, it makes clean gas, and there is no need to breathe in any smoke," he said.
The device has been so well received in these communities that the founders have begun working in partnership with the EU and the Peres Centre for Peace, setting up around 40 'digesters' in the pilot location.
The company is hoping their design will become more widely accepted and dispersed by government and non-government organisations to communities in need.

HomeBiogas now designed for the modern household, as well!
We've officially launched our IndieGoGo campaign to make HomeBiogas relevent, convenient, and accessible for anyone who wants to maximize the utility of their waste!
We believe that communities with a lack of waste treatment and energy should have access to HomeBiogas; we also believe that those in industrialized nations also want to upcycle organic waste and generate clean energy.
So we've perfected our model for both settings! Check it out here:

Hudson County Real Estate Investor Admits Multi-Year Mortgage Fraud Scheme
NEWARK, N.J. – A Hudson County, New Jersey, real estate investor has admitted conspiring to orchestrate a fraudulent home equity line of credit scheme that led to over $400,000 in losses, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced today.
Anthony Garvin, 52, of Jersey City, New Jersey, pleaded guilty by videoconference on Dec. 2, 2022, before U.S. District Judge Katharine S. Hayden in Newark federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and four counts of bank fraud.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Between 2011 and 2014, Garvin orchestrated a scheme to defraud banks by conspiring with others to fraudulently obtain multiple home equity lines of credit, known as HELOCs, on real estate that Garvin owned. To hide his fraud from lenders, Garvin and his conspirators prepared and submitted loan applications that contained lies and fake supporting documents, including fake pay stubs, W-2 forms, tax returns, bank account statements, and deeds. Garvin split his fraud proceeds with his conspirators and defaulted on all of the loans. Garvin's scheme ultimately resulted in over $400,000 in loses to the lenders.
The count of bank fraud conspiracy and each count of bank fraud carries a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison, a fine of $1 million or twice the gross gain to the defendants or twice the gross loss to others, whichever is greatest. Sentencing is scheduled for April 11, 2023.
Two conspirators previously pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
U.S. Attorney Sellinger credited special agents of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Office of Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Robert Manchak, and special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James E. Dennehy in Newark, with the investigation leading to the guilty plea.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Blake Coppotelli and Anthony Torntore of the District of New Jersey.

Arts Renaissance Tremont turns twenty-nine this season
October 7, 2019 by Mike Telin
by Mike Telin
Since its founding in 1991, Arts Renaissance Tremont (ART) has been a cultural pillar in that West Side Cleveland neighborhood. And from the beginning, the organization has made its home at the historic Pilgrim Congregational UCC. Under the tireless direction of its founder and director Chris Haff-Paluck (left, with Jinjoo Cho), with assistance from a group of dedicated board members and volunteers, ART has remained true to its vision of keeping concerts free of charge.
On Sunday, October 13 at 3:00 pm, ART will kick off its 29th season with a recital by cellist Darrett Adkins and pianist Cicilia Yudha. Their program will feature works by Janáček, Kodály, Messiaen, and Chopin.
"Twenty-nine years — who knows where all the time has gone?" Haff-Paluck said during an interview, noting that the Tremont neighborhood was very different in the early '90s. "There are so many restaurants and galleries now, but it wasn't that way back then. People wanted arts programs to be happening in the neighborhood."

It's February, and that means another lovely installment in the Amici Quartet's multi-year Beethoven cycle for Arts Renaissance Tremont at Pilgrim Congregational Church. This year's program on Sunday, February 10 included two quartets in the key of A that span the composer's career. The Op. 18, No. 5 quartet is a jovial work with dark undercurrents from Beethoven's first collection of six quartets published in 1800, while the late Heiliger Dankgesang quartet, Op. 132 from 1825, features a profound and patiently unfolding slow movement.

NEOSonicFest: Concert No. 4 to feature CCS, CYO, Young Composers & an Ed London tribute
March 24, 2015 by Daniel Hathaway
When NEOSonicFest presents its fourth concert on Tuesday, March 24, at 7:30pm in Cleveland State University's Waetjen Auditorium, the Cleveland Chamber Symphony (CCS) will pay tribute to its founder, the late Edwin London. The two-part musical evening will feature pieces by CCS's 2015 Young and Emerging Composers competition winners, as well as a side-by-side performance with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra (CYO) of Bernard Rands' London Serenade.
"We're very excited about this concert," said CCS's conductor and Festival music director Steven Smith. "For the first time we will join forces with CYO for a side-by-side performance. This will be one of the highlights of the Festival, because Bernard wrote his London Serenade for the Chamber Symphony. We've played it several times over the years, and, I think there's something poignant about bringing the piece back to life alongside a new generation of players." [Read more…]

CDA's House in Wapping was chosen ahead of 23 other finalists to win the award.
The 'subtle, thoughtful yet mischevious' addition to a Georgian-style terrace in east London was described as 'architecture for architects, yet a building the public would walk by and equally enjoy'.
The judging panel, chaired by AJ acting editor Rory Olcayto and featuring sustainability editor Hattie Hartman, Sam Jacob of Sam Jacob Studio, Derwent's Simon Silver, Vicky Legrove of Jackson Coles and Paul Reed from competition sponsor Marley Eternit, were impressed by the scheme's plan and detailing.


Never let anyone make you feel guilty for something you've never done.
Every person has the right to be happy and to lead a life of choice. Yes, there are certain things that should be kept in mind. There are certain things that should be followed. But at the end of the day, it's just you and the things you've done in life.
So, this is a story of a girl named Chelsea who was sexually assaulted. And due to the depression and trauma, she went to a church and reached out to the Bishop for help. However, the way she was treated was something she did not expect. She needed someone to understand, someone to tell her what to do, someone to help her out. Not this.
Scroll down and see the whole story in sequence.
The guy crossed the limits.
And it was clearly without her consent.
So she went to the Bishop to get help.
But the Bishop calls her to a disciplinary council.
And she ends up getting something she didn't expect.
Formal probation until the end of the semester.
Not only that but she was also assigned different things.
To Chelsa, all of this made no sense because she had clearly done nothing wrong.
