Sterling Edmund Lanier (December 18, 1927 – June 28, 2007) was an American editor, science fiction author and sculptor. He is perhaps known best as the editor who championed the publication of Frank Herbert's bestselling novel Dune.

Life
Lanier was born on December 18, 1927 in New York City to Priscilla Thorne Taylor and Berwick Bruce Lanier. He was trained as an anthropologist and archaeologist, and educated at Harvard, from which he graduated during 1951. He was a lifelong devotee of speculative fiction, as well as a cryptozoology enthusiast. Before beginning his literary career Lanier worked as a research historian at the Winterthur Museum from 1958 to 1960. He died in Sarasota, Florida, at the age of 79.

Literary career
Lanier's career as an author and editor began during 1961, when his first short story was published and he became an editor for Chilton Books.

He was with Chilton in 1965, when he was instrumental in persuading the firm to publish Frank Herbert's Dune. Having read Dune World in Analog magazine, he was responsible for tracking down the author and conveying Chilton's offer. More than twenty other publishing companies had already turned the book down.  Despite Lanier's brilliant insight on the worth of the book, he was dismissed from Chilton a year later because of high publication costs and poor initial book sales. Lanier also worked as an editor for the John C. Winston Company and McRae-Smith.

The most prominent of Lanier's own writings are his stories of the crypto-adventurer Brigadier Donald Ffellowes (told in the "club story" style of Lord Dunsany's Jorkens tales), and the post-apocalyptic novels Hiero's Journey (1973) and The Unforsaken Hiero (1983). His short story "A Father's Tale" (1974) was a World Fantasy Award nominee. His major works including Hiero's Journey, The Unforsaken Hiero, and the Brigadier Ffellowes stories are now available in an electronic version for Kindle.

Sculpture
Lanier's sculptures have been exhibited at a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution. He specialized in miniatures, among which were a series featuring characters from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings . One set was given to Tolkien himself, with whom Lanier corresponded. Tolkien reportedly admired the miniatures but did not want them to be marketed commercially, a wish Lanier respected.

Updated: Dec 31, 2018, 08:51 IST | Fiona Fernandez | Mumbai
This time, we decided to hand over the reins of picking winners for our very own city awards to sutradhaars - Sir PM and Lady Flora. We'd like to remind our readers that the two respectable judges have tried their best to stay free of any outside
"So, lady Flora, what's this hype and pressure about New Year resolutions? I just don't get it. And, to add to it @bombayana has asked us to compile this list of the year that was. How much should we look back, sideways, ahead…too much stress," cribbed Sir PM on their walk down DN Road before the last day of the year.
"Oh, Pheroze, you mustn't allow this to get the better of you. It's such a prestigious honour. Imagine, we get to pick our favourite moments, sights, sounds and even throw a brickbat or two," she winked at her friend. After a long pause, he said, "I see your point, Lady Flora. No more complaining – that's my resolution for 2019. Let's get to work and share our notes with mid-day's readers."
Heritage blockbuster of the year: UNESCO WHS tag
June 30, 2018 will go down as a landmark day for Mumbai's heritage movement. The Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensemble spanning 19th and 20th centuries were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was the third honour conferred on a city landmark – CSMT and Elephanta being the other two. It was a victory for the many citizen groups who worked tirelessly to create a hefty, research backed dossier that won the nod from the panel. So, the next time you're strolling through Oval Maidan or hear a chime from Rajabai Tower, remember it's on the world heritage map.
Most awaited comeback of the year: Flora Fountain
Finally, after much anticipation, the beautiful statue at the nodal point of the original city will open to the public after years of dedicated repair and restoration. The stunning work of art and design, depicting the Roman goddess of Abundance, will sport aesthetic street furniture and lighting, and she will continue to cast her calming gaze over her city.
Disclaimer: We hope readers don't mind some self-promotion for the above mention. It was based on public demand.
Global showcase award: Three awards at UNESCO'S 2017 Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation
There was much for India's (and Mumbai's) heritage movement as three of the 16 awards emerged from the country at this year's UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation, The LAMO Centre in Ladakh, Leh won the prestigious Award of Distinction while city landmarks - Rajabai Clock Tower and University of Mumbai Library Building and the Ruttonsee Muljee Jetha Fountain – won in the Honourable Mention category. Mumbai had a role to play in all wins - Brinda Somaya and Vikas Dilawari's projects were city-based, of course, while Dr Monisha Ahmed, the co-founder of the LAMO Centre, is also from here. Bravo!
Landmark of the year award: St Thomas Cathedral
The tercentenary celebrations of this landmark put the spotlight on the historic Anglican church, one of India's oldest, as it came to life with choral concerts, heritage walks, restoration of its interiors, and the marquee event – a month-long exhibition of its rare archival material and relics, currently underway at CSMVS. A gift to the city, it's a must-see chronicle of the city's origins.
New cultural hotspot award: Ballard Estate
The otherwise quiet Ballard Estate came to life earlier this month as NGO Art in the Park organised an eco-friendly Kala Utsav with art workshops for children, all free of cost. The initiative supported by the Indian Heritage Foundation, Mumbai Port Trust, and the Bombay Chamber of Commerce saw footfall of 3,500. Here's to more such initiatives.
Party pooper of the year (second year running): Metro work
Let's face it. Mumbai's heritage – from DN Road historic landmarks to its Parsi fire temples, precious mangroves have all been at the receiving end of this. The furious pace at which the city has been at the mercy of this infrastructural development, is a worrying sign. It's been touted as an upgrade and improvement of the city's commuting and transport woes; but the fallout is increasingly looking larger than the real deal, which we hope will fructify into something good and beneficial. The costs until now, sadly, are too high.

Abstract Background: A retained surgical sponge, an extremely rare occurrence after cardiac surgery, can trigger a granulomatous reaction and form a sizeable mass or gossypiboma. We report the incidental operative finding of a gossypiboma 11 years after repair of Ebstein anomaly.Case Report: A 24-year-old man, who had previously undergone tricuspid annuloplasty for Ebstein anomaly 11 years earlier at another institution, was referred for recurrent severe tricuspid regurgitation. During the dissection along the superior vena cava and the right atrium, we entered 2 cystic cavities that exuded a pus-like material, which was sent for culture. Mesh from a retained surgical sponge (gossypiboma) was identified. After complete debridement and administration of vancomycin, the tricuspid valve was repaired. Antibiotics were continued until culture results were confirmed to be negative. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and he presented no signs of infection.Conclusions: We report a rare case of incidentally found gossypiboma after cardiac surgery.

Home| GO FUND ME!
Heart of a Building is about creating a better future.
We make videos that tell the stories of innovators who are designing, financing, constructing, and occupying the buildings of tomorrow, today!
Our stories showcase the state-of-the-art technical expertise behind energy-efficient buildings that are out-performing existing codes. We explore the heart-centered reasons — the "why" — behind each project.
Our videos feature buildings that transform the places we inhabit into spaces that can exist in harmony with nature! Our debut video aired on Rocky Mtn PBS on April 24, 2021 followed by our 3 newest, 30-minute-long episodes that in aired on November 7th, 14th and 21st, 2021. You can stream any of these episodes here at RMPBS – Heart of a Building.
WHY WE CARE | Increasing energy efficiency and enhancing building performance is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the unsustainable use of resources. The building sector in the U.S. accounts for over one-third of our greenhouse gas emissions, more than 70% of our electricity consumption. It uses more than 40% of our total energy utilization. We already have the expertise to construct and power buildings using renewable energy sources while improving indoor air quality and comfort. We just have to inspire greater adoption and implementation!
Our PBS episodes, technical videos, and continuing education for professionals seek to do just that…inspire us all to want these amazing buildings to become the norm – in retrofitting and remodeling existing buildings as well as in new construction!
YOU CAN HELP US PRODUCE MORE EPISODES!
Your support of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or even $999 per video episode (or in total) will help us get these episodes produced! We must reach our fundraising goals by March 18, 2022, to have our next season of 6 new episode produced and by spring 2022 so, make your pledge of support today!!!

It's been a while since I've had a new post here, and that's largely due to the quantity of other things on which I've been working. This list of busy-ness – presumably completely uninteresting to you – includes making additional presentations for SQL Server training events.
Which makes for a nice intro to what I wanted to write about today – my first session I presented at a SQL Saturday last weekend in Orange County, California. I suppose some may read this a cautionary tale, but my intention is to let you know that even when you're neck deep in the weeds (and I'm not even talking just about presentations here) you can still survive as long as you focus on one thing: delivering solutions to your audience.
Remember the Bill Gates email hoax? The one that claims to be some sort of Microsoft beta test saying Gates is going to pay cash money to anyone who forwards the email? I'm pretty sure it's been around as long as actual email.
As I mentioned previously, this week I presented my first public SQL Server training session. I'm truly grateful for this opportunity because after all the work I put into preparing the session I believe I ended up with something that has value for just about anyone who writes T-SQL.
But for now, let's have a few words about the words "all the work".
As Sinatra was fond of singing, "regrets, I've had a few." And one of those came this week immediately after my presentation. This isn't to say the presentation didn't go well – it did. At least I think it did. I had several people come up and thank me afterwards for showing them things they didn't know previously, so in that sense it went well.
But in hindsight, one part of it, well, it sucked. So I'm going to take a moment here and now to correct that.
As noted in the previous post, this month I got my learn on at Tech Outbound's SQL Cruise Alaska. Which was awesome in so many ways, but I'm only going to tell you about one. Because this one just might be of some value to you.

Filipino startups aim to grow industry to $2B by 2020
The Mail Man Tuesday, October 04, 2016
Filipino digital startups aim to grow the industry into a $2-billion business by 2020 under a road map where veterans help mentor newcomers.
The industry that spawned OLX.ph, Chikka, Airborne Access and Netbooster among others aims to have as much 500 startups in the next four years, with total funding of $200 million.
Stakeholders can now network via StartupPH, an industry group launched last August, which also serves as a venue for businessmen to interact with government.
"I think we've hit a certain maturity point where the government is very willing to help and to engage with the community," said Launchgarage founder and StartupPH member Jay Fajardo.
"Tech startups come up with innovative, disruptive ideas that policy is usually not ready for," he told ANC.
Government should help startups by providing a legal framework that fosters innovation, he said.
The newly-formed Department of Information and Communication Technology estimates there are at least 100 operating tech startups in the country.

Are you looking to find your fortune in the Drone Industry?
Then you're going to want to hear what today's guest has to say. Allen Beach has over 20 years' experience in starting and running successful businesses. He is a military veteran and served in the US Coast Guard, flying hundreds of Search and Rescue missions out of Clearwater, Florida. After leaving the military, Allen earned his MBA and began working for IBM. In 1997, he and his wife, Andrea, decided to leave Corporate America and strike out on their own with Argus Connection, Inc. Argus quickly grew into a multi-million dollar technology services company which they eventually sold in 2009. After taking some time off, the couple started Argus Rising in 2015, a First Responder Drone Training Company. Allen and Andrea have also written two books, the first is "Be a Wolf" (The Entrepreneurs Guide to Becoming a Leader of The Pack) and "Drone Start-Up 101" (Finding Your Fortune in the Drone Industry). In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Allen talks about his book, "Drone Start-Up 101" and shares his insights into building a successful drone based business based on his more than 20-years experience as an entrepreneur.
Introduction. Alan Beach is founder of Argus Rising, a drone company that provides first responder training. Along with his wife, Andrea, they are co-authors of Drone Start-Up 101, a book focused on starting a drone company and helping people finding their fortune in the drone industry.
The Idea. Alan and Andrea had been attending InterDrone for several years, and talked to hundreds of people who were looking for information on how to start a drone based business. The couple had previously written a previous business book, called "Be A Wolf." So they decided to use those skills and experience from starting Argus Rising to help people get started.
Where To Begin. Typically, when people start a business, they focus on the infrastructure first. They buy a drone, get some training, pass their Part 107 certification, get insurance, launch a website and then look for business. The problem is that they haven't invested any time in generating leads or sales, so they struggle. Rather than focus on infrastructure, Allen believes people should focus on sales first, then build a business around the orders. This is counter intuitive for most people, but Allen says it's the sales that drives the business, and people need to master that part as soon as possible.
Then and Now. Starting a business today is much different today than when Allen started his first business, more than 20 years ago. One of the greatest differences is the rise of social media, which allows entrepreneurs to connect much more easily with prospective customers and a fraction of a cost. Entrepreneurs now have all of the same tools that the big players have and that's something they couldn't do back in 1997.
Drone Start Up 101. The book is a distillation of the experience Allen and Andrea have in starting their own drone business and our original business back in 1997. Allen provides insights into a variety of drone business opportunities and suggests that people build a business around what they know. The book also covers how to build a competitive advantage, finding a niche and marketing on a shoestring. There's a chapter devoted to interviews with successful drone entrepreneurs that discuss how they built their successful business.
Doing What You Love vs. Doing What You Know. While most people feel they should focus on doing what they love, Allen says they should focus on what they know. In mos cases, people what people typically know is something that they also love. But its important to understand the distinction.
Common Thread. Allen observes that many successful entrepreneurs have a few things in common, including a willingness to make sacrifices to achieve their goals. Entrepreneurs really have to stay open to focusing their company to the sales they can make, which echos back to Allen's earlier point. With the industry changing so rapidly, one can't allow themselves to get pigeonholed into a business case that doesn't provide value.
A Third Book. While writing the chapter on Trailblazers for Drone Start-Up 101, Allen and Andrea had so much fun and they saw an opportunity to write a third book. The book will be called American Trailblazers and it will feature interviews with successful business people across all industries.
Husband and Wife Team. Andrea and Allen have formed a positive working business partnership that has endure more than 25 years. While perhaps not for all husband and wife teams, Allen suggests that the reason for their success is due because they've separated the business along what each is good at. For example, Allen is great at sales and operations,while Andrea is best at accounts payable, payroll and taxes.
Drone Opportunities Abound: Selecting what's right for you.
Trail Blazers: Learn from those that have gone before you.
Growing Your Business. It's not just about starting a drone business, but moving it to next level. Allen shares some strategies to grow a business once the initial sales have been recorded.
Closing. For people who want to follow in their footsteps and start a business, Allen and Andrea want to help those people get started.

A Spanaway man is still recovering in the hospital after having his left foot and part of his leg amputated following a carjacking. 40-year-old Shaun Williams was leaving Billy B's pub on South 56th Street Tacoma at about 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 27 when Tacoma Police say a suspect approached him while he was sitting in his car and shot him in the ankle. The suspect then stole Williams' 1995 Honda Civic. It was found the next day in Lakewood. Tacoma police have not released a description of the suspect.
Williams' family says he was at Billy B's pub that night to play pool, which he loves. His sister says doctors are trying to control an infection and that he will need another surgery. They are cleaning his wound and replacing the wraps three times a day. Williams has a 13-year-old daughter and has no medical insurance right now. His family says he is a hard working man who is between jobs but earned money by detailing cars.
His family has set up a fund to help him with his medical expenses. You can go to any Wells Fargo bank and ask to donate to the 'Shaun Williams Benefit Fund'.
If you have any information on the identity of the suspect, call Tacoma Police at (253) 798-4721. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can submit a tip to Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County by using the P3 Tips App or by calling 1-800-222-8477 (Tips). There is a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in the case.

Mysticism and esotericism are two intimately related strands of the Western tradition. Despite their close connections, however, scholars tend to treat them separately. Whereas the study of Western mysticism enjoys a long and established history, Western esotericism is a young field. The Cambridge Handbook of Western Mysticism and Esotericism examines both of these traditions together. The volume demonstrates that the roots of esotericism almost always lead back to mystical traditions, while the work of mystics was bound up with esoteric or occult preoccupations. It also shows why mysticism and esotericism must be examined together if either is to be understood fully. Including contributions by leading scholars, this volume features essays on such topics as alchemy, astrology, magic, Neoplatonism, Kabbalism, Renaissance Hermetism, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, numerology, Christian theosophy, spiritualism, and much more. This handbook serves as both a capstone of contemporary scholarship and a cornerstone of future research.
Accessible to students as well as professional scholars
Includes essays by major scholars, taking highly original and sometimes controversial approaches
Essays offer comprehensive overviews of their subjects
'Glenn Alexander Magee has brought together a 'dream team' of scholars, and from an impressively broad range of generations, from esteemed senior doyens to emerging young intellectuals about to reshape the conversation once again. Magee also brings his own trademark philosophical clarity to the definitional and historical tasks at hand. The result is a cutting-edge collection of essays that delivers exactly what it promises: a concise and clear map of the hidden intellectual tradition of the West from ancient Greece to today.' Jeffrey J. Kripal, J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Religion, Rice University, Houston, and author of The Serpent's Gift: Gnostic Reflections on the Study of Religion
'This long-overdue collection contains work of the best minds of the field and is certain to advance current research in Western esotericism. A must purchase.' David Appelbaum, State University of New York, New Paltz
'It is impossible to understand our civilization without awareness of the immense influence upon it of mystical and esoteric ideas and practices. This generous collection of scholarly essays at last offers reliable support for the academic study of humanity's age-old and contemporary quest for higher levels of consciousness.' Jacob Needleman, San Francisco State University
'Contributors to this handbook are world-class - writers such as Wouter Hanegraaff and Kocku von Stuckrad, Antoine Faivre and Arthur Versluis. Each has written magisterially about the content and place of mysticism and esotericism, making this not merely an arcane field of intellectual inquiry but a living and contended area where theologians and historians, anthropologists and students of cultural and religious history engage and should do so. As exemplars of inquiry in their own right, the essays are excellent, thoughtfully expressed and contentious where they need to be, unpacking complex ideas such as those of Boehme and Swedenborg elegantly.'

As the the Palestinian Authorities apply for statehood in the UN this September, a measure which will certainly get vetoed by the U.S. and therefore denied, Israel plans to arm the Israeli settlers in the illegally occupied West Bank to repel the Palestinian protests that will inevitably follow. For a brief history: since the creation of Israel in 1948 on Palestinian land that was previously colonized by the British, the UN has promised the Palestinians their own nation, but due to constant war, they have been forced to live as refugees without a nation. Some Palestinians deserve part of the blame because their terrorist attacks on Israel have given Israel the excuse to refuse to make peace, return any of the land gained from the War of 1967, or recognize the Palestinian state. I also believe that the other Muslim governments in the Middle East have not done many favors for the Palestinian people by failing to grant the refugees in their countries citizenship or equal rights, while also inciting tension with Israel by using hate speech. For instance, Iran continually threatening to destroy the state of Israel gives Israel another excuse not to make peace with the Palestinians because they fear — or at least can claim to fear — an attack from a Palestinian nation with the support of neighboring Muslim nations. Nevertheless, the longer Israel holds out and deprives the Palestinians of a statehood, the more hatred towards Israel will rise, and the longer it will take and more difficult it will be for there to be peace in the Middle East.
Israel knows the UN will not recognize the Palestinian nation, even though Palestine will easily get the majority of votes, simply because the U.S. will veto, and as a member of the security council, the U.S. can prevent it. This is nothing new for Israel; the U.S. has vetoed many international bills condemning Israel. As a result, Palestinians will protest Israel's refusal to recognize their nationhood, which is understandable, but instead of Israel simply policing the area and having soldiers on guard to prevent the Palestinians from hurting anyone, Israel has made it clear it will retaliate against protests with violence, even if it means training their own militia in the West Banks. This is truly a disturbing development. I understand Israelis may fear for their safety and worry about Palestinians entering the Israeli settlements, but — despite the fact the settlements are illegal anyway — placing weapons in the hands of people to use at their own discretion against the Palestinians could potentially have dire consequences. How exactly will this be enforced? As of yet, Israel has not created clear boundaries where the Palestinians cannot cross, and it has yet known how the lines will be made clear for the protesters, but the plan is to have two lines: one "warning" line, where Israeli settlers will use crowd dispersing weapons such as tear gas, and a second "red line" where, if Palestinians cross, the Israelis have permission to open fire at the legs of Palestinians. What happens if the armed Israelis open fire or use weapons against the Palestinians before they cross any boundaries? Many of the Israelis living in the West Bank are Jewish fundamentalists, leading one to believe they will be more willing to use force against the Palestinians. Will Israel punish settlers who use too much force? Based on Israel's human rights record towards the Palestinians, one has to assume the Israeli settlers will be given immunity no matter how much force they use. There have been reports in the past that Israelis in the settlements receive special legal treatment as well.
The Palestinians have a right to protest peacefully to let their voices be heard, and Israeli settlers should not be given the power and arms to deny the Palestinians. Israel essentially creating militias to target Palestinian protesters could potentially create major problems that will lead to the death of many Palestinians and further angering Palestinians and neighboring Muslim nations if they do not use extreme caution and make it very clear where the protesters cannot go. The Israeli military is likely strong enough that it can protect its land from unarmed protesters anyway, and if it is not, then it should not set up illegal settlements on the land in the first place.
This is yet another predicament in the long struggle for justice between the Israeli and Palestinian people. Israel has a right to exist, and Muslim nations must accept it, but Israel needs to co-exist equally with the Palestinians. There are various solutions to the problem, none of which are easy, but they truly begin with Israel accepting that Palestinians have a right to nationhood, whether in a one-state or two-state solution, and the crisis will only continue to grow until Israel agrees to compromise.

La Fundación Aguilar y Eslava es una institución de titularidad privada radicada en Cabra (Córdoba), España. Su objetivo es cumplir la voluntad establecida en 1679 por el fundador, Luis de Aguilar y Eslava, en su testamento: contribuir a mejorar la educación de los jóvenes en esta ciudad. Está dirigida por un Patronato presidido por Salvador Guzmán Moral, en cuya Junta participan diversas instituciones locales.

La Fundación "Aguilar y Eslava" (antiguo Real Colegio de la Purísima Concepción de Cabra) fue declarada de beneficencia particular docente por Real Orden de 19 de noviembre de 1917 (Gaceta de Madrid de 12 de diciembre de 1917, núm. 546) y así consta en el Registro del Servicio de Recursos y Fundaciones de la Consejería de Educación y Ciencia de la Junta de Andalucía.

Sus finalidades fundacionales actuales son las de beneficiar a la comunidad educativa en general. Pertenece a la Asociación nacional para la defensa del patrimonio de los Institutos históricos, como miembro fundador, actuando su presidente como secretario de dicha asociación. En febrero de 2019 recibe la Medalla de Andalucía por su trayectoria.

Patrimonio
Es titular de bienes y propiedades constituidas con los fondos fundacionales y posteriores donaciones:
 Museo Aguilar y Eslava, inaugurado en 2007, era una de las mayores aspiraciones de la Fundación para exponer sus fondos históricos, artísticos y científicos que se llevan coleccionando durante siglos.
 Instalaciones del IES Aguilar y Eslava, centro público dependiente de la Junta de Andalucía, con más de 300 años de historia.
 El Centro de Estudios y Documentación "Manuel Vargas y Alcalde" y su respectivo oratorio, actualmente en construcción, destruido en los años 1970 y que se espera construido para septiembre de 2018 para cumplir el testamento del fundador.

 El Campo Chico, solar próximo al Instituto donado por Manuel Vargas y Alcalde, sobrino del fundador, en 1886. Aquí existió en su día un jardín botánico. Hoy se utiliza como aparcamiento y en ocasiones extraordinarias para acoger circos itinerantes.

 La opinión, medio de comunicación fundado en 1912, decano de la prensa local, que edita una revista periódica y un informativo diario digital, La Opinión de Cabra. Fue donado por Manuel Mora Mazorriaga a la Fundación en 2002.

Actividades
Participa en muchas de las actividades del IES Aguilar y Eslava:
 Apertura oficial de curso: Destacados conferenciantes e ilustres personalidades han dictado la lección inaugural de cada año escolar. El Presidente de la República, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora, lo hizo en 1932 de modo oficial para toda España.
 Entrega de los Premios de Investigación Aguilar y Eslava. Su primera entrega se realizó en 2001.
 Actividades en honor de la Inmaculada Concepción: nombramiento de colegiales de honor y alumnos beneméritos, entrega de diplomas a alumnos destacados, convivencias de antiguos alumnos.
 Actividades culturales: presentaciones de libros, exposiciones, conciertos.
 Celebración de acto de graduación para alumnos de último curso de Bachillerato y Formación profesional.

Archeology and Property Law, Together at Last!
I've been reading off-and-on an interesting survey history of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean (It's called Egypt, Greece, and Rome, though I suspect the title was not the author's; there's actually a whole chapter arguing that the Persians get far too short a shrift from Greco-centric historians of the ancient world). In it, there's a discussion in there of agriculture in ancient Egypt. It's quite interesting. We tend to think of Egypt today as this great barren desert, but in the ancient world it was something of a bread basket. Egypt consistently had surpluses of food that it used as a trade good, and as late as the Roman era it was a heavy grain exporter.
Anyhow, Egypt had a rather peculiar agriculture. Farming was centered around the Nile, naturally enough. There was, at the time, little or no irrigation. Rather, farmers relied on annual floods to nourish their land. Egypt had great flood plains around the Nile that were underwater roughly from April to September, from the Spring rains until Autumn. Planting happened in Fall, ripening in Winter, and then harvest in Spring. So these annual floods served as natural irrigation.
The interesting thing is that, at least according to the book, the archeological evidence indicates that ancient Egyptian society had private property for individual citizens (there was apparently a large centralized bureaucracy that kept records of administrative and judicial decisions, and it's from these records that a sense of Egyptian property rights has been derived). So this raises all sorts of interesting questions about how you adjudicate property rights to land that's underwater half the year. This was important stuff; food was Egypt's main export, so you can imagine how important it was to maintain your rights to agricultural land. But how do you tell who's land is whose when it's gone for half a year, and any markers you leave are likely to be washed away? And what do you do when the geography changes thanks to erosion? I mean, the river itself has to be constantly shifting in its path. How do you figure out who has the better claim to a piece of land when noone can be sure where that land is in relation to where it was last year?
Sadly, the book provides no answers. It mentions that there were property disputes that were adjudicated by Egypt's courts, and that the nature of Egypt's agriculture made these disputes particularly troublesome, but it doesn't discuss how the legal rules evolved to handle the situation.
Now that I've thought about all this, of course, I will inevitably have a nightmare in which I walk into class and find that I have a final in Ancient Egyptian Property Law, a class I've never attended. Naturally, the test will be administered in hieroglyphics, and our answers are to be in hieroglyphics as well. All the other students will have brought their stone tablets and papyrus to work on, and I'll be standing there with my useless laptop. In my underpants. Tiger-print polyester underpants.
Well-suited for a test on Mesopotamian Criminal Law, but utterly inappropriate for Egyptian Property.

Remote learning expands accessibility in education, study abroad
What new learning methods will stick after the pandemic? International virtual exchanges may be here to stay.
By Andrea SwiedomFranklin Journal
University of Maine at Farmington students Sam Wood and Grace McIntosh have been virtually interning — along with other students across the country such as Clair Clapp and Alyssa Schams — for the international nonprofit Lalafofofo, which helps youth in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. The interns meet with program manager Nicole Pires over Zoom. Sam Wood photo
FARMINGTON — Professors and students at the University of Maine at Farmington are engaging in virtual international exchanges that are paving the way for increased student accessibility to study-abroad opportunities.
Senior Sam Wood spends 10 hours a week managing and creating content for the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts of Lalafofofo, an international nonprofit organization helping youth in rural Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, rise from poverty and grow their communities.
"It actually helps women and girls of the Maasai community in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania and one of our programs is a girls' scholarship program where we send girls off to get educated at schools in Tanzania," Wood said in a Zoom interview. "So they wouldn't have had this opportunity otherwise beforehand which is really cool. There's also free school meals so they provide free meals to all the children of this region and it's over 1,000 students, it's almost 1,500 students that they provide food to each year."
Wood's virtual internship with Lalafofofo is part of her international and global studies major, which requires a study abroad or international experience. With less expensive study abroad programs ranging from $9,000 to $12,000 a semester, this can be a difficult requirement to meet.
This potential setback has been on the mind of Linda Beck, the associate dean at UMF's Office of Experiential and Global Education. Even before COVID-19, Beck was brainstorming ways to make international experiences more accessible to UMF students.

"Luckily we had been planning to pilot the Virtual Global Experiences, or VGE, courses before COVID hit in order to further the internationalization of our curriculum and encourage international and foreign language studies at UMF," Beck wrote in an email. "We were so fortunate to receive the U.S. Department of Education grant last year to fund these pilots."
Virtual Global Experiences offers a different type of international exchange by partnering individual courses at UMF with a similar course at an institution in another country. These partnerships last five to eight weeks, and there are three professors piloting this program.

With a 13-hour time difference, the students in Hong Kong are attending the class at 8:30 in the evening. The two groups meet virtually and test the effectiveness of their developed lesson plans by teaching each other about their cultures.
"Of course, sometimes the Chinese or Hong Kong students ask our students to speak a little bit slower," Lee said in a phone interview. "So that's why I told my students, 'the way you learn, you think you speak slowly but in fact, to them, it's really fast.' I said, 'if you're a teacher and you have some nonnative speaker in your class then you really have to adjust the way, how you speak and what words or what vocabularies you would choose.'"
Learning to be inclusive teachers who may encounter students with diverse language and cultural backgrounds is one of the many benefits Lee is observing from the Virtual Global Experiences pilot program. She has also seen the worlds of her students — many of whom have never left the New England region — widen as they develop one-on-one relationships with students almost 7,000 miles away.
"Most of them said they never have been exposed to the Asian culture or Chinese culture," Lee said. "At first, they find it very intimidating because they never have talked to any people in another culture."
Lee has been amused to hear her students report with surprise that their partners in Hong Kong have pets and talk about cats as obsessively as they do.
Wood is similarly learning about a new country and culture despite her very limited contact with those working for Lalafofofo in Tanzania. She said communication has been difficult with COVID-19 and Tanzania President John Magufuli denying the presence of the coronavirus until just last month.
"I didn't know much about the COVID-19 situation in Tanzania beforehand, so I've learned a lot about the Maasai people as well as the current politicization of COVID-19 in Tanzania and how it's affecting these rural communities," Wood said.
Another opportunity for UMF students to learn about the effects of COVID-19 in another country will take place in Nicole Coffey Kellett's anthropology course titled "Latin America: Cultures and Contexts." During the last five weeks of the spring semester, Kellett's students will partner with an anthropology class in Ayacucho, Peru, to exchange geographical experiences with the coronavirus.
Connecting to a far-away border, identifying the 'disappeared'
The students will collaborate to make a photo voice project, an applied social science methodology in which visual imagery related to a research question is accompanied by an audio recording explanation, Kellett said. The project will be like a photography slideshow with different voices explaining their experiences with COVID-19.
Kellett explained that the photo voice method is a powerful tool used by grassroots researchers to advocate for social change.
"The idea is to then take those images and have them shared with decision-makers, policymakers, to be able to see this issue from another angle and to really think about how to best address it," Kellett said in a Zoom interview. "So it's kind of a way to bring voice to those in power."
The project will also provide Peru and Farmington students with an intimate connection traditionally only accessible by expensive, in-person exchanges.
The price tag of these exchanges is only one of many setbacks for international experiences. Wood described her own struggle with trying to study abroad in Switzerland last year after complications with her chronic illness almost caused her to cancel her trip.
"For people like me who have a chronic illness and it's harder for us to travel because of medications and restrictions around health, (virtual exchanges) make it more accessible for people like us," she said.
While inclusive accessibility for study abroad opportunities is certainly a topic among academia, the pandemic may very well be propelling these new virtual options.
"Our VGE pilot is NOT in response to COVID but has made us better equipped to respond to the lack of student mobility during the pandemic," Beck wrote. "And I think all businesses and nonprofits as well as professional conferences will be rethinking what can be accomplished virtually, which is both financially and environmentally more sustainable. And UMF is already responding to this significant shift in the academic and professional contexts, already modifying our experiential education to respond to this."

Released in an edition of 500 copies on black vinyl.
"In much the same way as the police use dogs to sniff out drugs, the folk at Who Can You Trust Records have an uncanny knack for sniffing out some great raw talent. Anyone who has been blown away by the recent releases by Hot Lunch will attest to this. Here with Swedish band Katla they come up trumps yet again.
This 4 piece from Gothenburg draw heavily from the heavy psych rock from the late 60's and early 70's and have an unnerving ability to replicate those sounds with pinpoint accuracy. The Katla sound on this release is at once stripped down yet expansive thanks to a lively, heavily reverb drenched production. Of the two tracks on offer here, the A side "I Will Hunt You" is the more direct and hard hitting. Don't be fooled into thinking that Katla follow their fellow countrymen bands such us Graveyard and Witchcraft into the realms of proto metal. No, Katla are a far more esoteric proposition as psychedelia features heavily in their raw blues sound and the exquisite vocals of Lisa soar over the band with a power and passion that evokes Grace Slick at her finest. "I Will Hunt You" belies its pastoral opening by driving along on a sinister tribal drum figure over layed with some biting yet spacey lead guitar with an arrangement that builds the tension then drops it back again only to build once more.
On the B side "Foaming Waters" is a far more sedate affair. Less overtly psychedelic than "I Will Hunt You" and more traditional in its verse/chorus structure but no less indebted to the sounds of a halcyon era. Again Lisa shows great depth in her vocals and the guitar is tasteful and restrained here. When a violin appears to take the solo it's a welcome surprise as it seems to force the band to pull themselves back and gives them room to build the song once more into a splendid guitar solo.
Over the space of two tracks Katla have managed to evoke more moods and cover more musical territory than a lot of bands manage over the course of an album…something which must surely follow. Turn down the lights, stick on the lava lamp, light the incense and enjoy this all too brief but fantastic piece of plastic."

As a former teacher, I know how challenging remote learning can be. The next few weeks will be difficult, but there are some fantastic resources available that I wanted to share which I hope will be helpful.PE with Joe returned this morning.

My thoughts on the reopening of schools
Last week I met with the National Education Union (NEU) to discuss the challenges facing teachers, parents and students as schools return to school. They highlighted the impact of lost learning during lockdown, the importance of a safe return, and the work they are doing to support schools. Over the last six months I have been in regular contact with not just the NEU but head teachers and the local authority. Our children and young people need to get back to the classroom, for their mental health and their education.I am deeply concerned about the increasing attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and those from more affluent areas. That gap is no longer closing, months out of the classroom during lockdown will have affected less advantaged young people with less access to online lessons. It's crucial that this doesn't continue and young people are back in school full time.Labour have consistently argued that schools need to fully re-open to ensure all young people, but especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, can get back into the classroom. We must ensure that schools have all the help and resources they need to reopen safely. There should be clear guidance, improved PPE for staff and teachers and a fully functioning test, track and trace system in place. We can't afford any more u-turns and indecision; the Government has stalled on this for too long and our young people are being left behind. Consistent messaging and guidance is crucial so that parents can have confidence that students will be safe as they return to school. If anyone has any concerns or issues they would like to raise please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Ahead of children returning to school in the autumn, Travel South Yorkshire are asking parents and carers to fill out this survey.It's anonymous and will help SYPTE plan transport services so everyone can get to school safely and on-time.
My thoughts on plans to reopen schools
Thanks to all those who have written to me about the proposed re-opening of schools and thanks also to those headteachers who have replied to my email asking for their thoughts on this matter. I share many of the concerns they have shared with me. I will be working closely with local schools who are on the frontline, supporting them with any concerns they have, so that when more children in Barnsley return to school it is safe to do so. There are many problems with the current plan to re-open schools on the 1st June and this week I met with the National Education Union. They have stated a number of conditions which must be met for schools to return safely, including testing, social distancing and lower levels of cases in the community. I have also raised the concerns of constituents directly with the Minister for Children and Families, discussing the very real fear people feel about this issue. It is clear that the Government must work collaboratively with school leaders, trade unions, governors, parents and carers to come up with practical safety conditions that must be met before schools can be reopened. From the outset of this crisis I have been worried about those children who are being left behind while the schools are closed. Learning online is not always a level playing field, and some children are losing out on vital learning simply because they do not have the resources at home to complete school work. When schools open it will not be like before, social distancing measures are likely to continue for some time. We need to make sure that disadvantaged and vulnerable children do not miss out as we adjust to new ways of working and educating. I have pressed the Government on what support and resources they are offering to schools and disadvantaged children to make online learning work. I would like to offer my thanks to teachers across the country, who have been working around the clock to provide online lessons and support for students at home.

Mike Shanahan's 2005 Broncos had great impact on new Dolphins' coach Mike McDaniel
McDaniel, a 22-year-old Broncos intern at the time, credited Shanahan for willing a hardly star-studded roster to a 13-3 record and AFC Championship Game appearance.
Author: Mike Klis
Published: 8:15 AM MST March 3, 2022
Updated: 10:09 AM MST March 3, 2022
INDIANAPOLIS — Mike McDaniel is the latest Most Interesting Man in the NFL and his childhood upbringing in Greeley, Aurora and Smoky Hill High School only partly explains it.
Five years after serving as a Broncos' ball boy, McDaniel was 22 years old, fresh off his history degree at Yale, where he also was a backup receiver. With the help of his stepfather at the time, Broncos' video operations manager Gary McCune, McDaniel landed as an offensive intern for the Broncos and head coach Mike Shanahan.
That year, the Broncos went 13-3, and beat the back-to-back Super Bowl-champion New England Patriots in a second-round playoff game, only to lose at home to a young Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game.
McDaniel, now 38 and the Miami Dolphins' head coach, spoke of the impact Shanahan had on him during his initial season as an professional coach at his NFL Combine press conference Wednesday
"The entire season, I can remember like it was yesterday,'' McDaniel said of 2005. "I was convinced we were winning the Super Bowl. His bravado and his conviction, and he set people's ambition – we were winning the Super Bowl, we were that good."
"We went to the AFC Championship Game and we lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers," McDaniel continued. "But about five or six years down the road as I had a better scope of the National Football League in general, I looked at the player by player on that roster and I was like, 'Wow. We were a much better team than we were individuals.'''

Mike Shanahan in Denver, Monday, Oct. 9, 2006.
Indeed, it was a great year for the likes of quarterback Jake Plummer, running back Mike Anderson, receivers Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie and tight end Jeb Putzier. The defensive identity was the Brown-cos – a bunch of Cleveland Browns castoffs like Courtney Brown and Gerard Warren – although future Hall of Famers Champ Bailey and John Lynch anchored the secondary.
Charlie Adams, who never had a catch in his first two NFL seasons, beat out Jerry Rice for the No. 3 receiver spot. Adams had 21 catches in 2005 and never had a catch again. With the exception of Bailey, none of those players approached their 2005 production again. The point McDaniel was making was Shanahan coached that team up.
"That idea of raising people's ambition and leading by … empowering people with confidence, that will be forever lasting for me as a coach,'' McDaniel said. "As I walk the hallways at Miami Gardens these past couple weeks, it has resonated with me, those days."

CHOPIN NOCTURNE POSTHUMOUS C MINOR PDF
Separated from his parents, a brother and two sisters, his immediate fight was for his own survival, trying to escape from the Nazis where half a million Jews were rounded up and killed in death camps from Warsaw alone. He managed to escape death with the help of some of his countrymen and also a German captain, Wilm Hosenfeld, who promised to help him, giving him food and advice on where to hide and how to escape the onslaught of the Nazis. In return, he played for the captain on a piano they found in the dilapidated building where he was hiding. Szpilman wrote a memoir of his hellish ordeal in Warsaw after the war ended in The circulation of the book, called The Pianist, was initially restricted by Stalinist Polish authorities immediately after the war.

It might seem hyperbolic to suggest that music can save lives. But in the case of Natalia Karp, that statement is true. And Goeth acquiesced. The nocturne, marked Lento con gran espressione, begins with a brief, repeated introduction.
First, quiet and march-like; then even quieter. Its opening is solemn, almost like a sigh. After that, the piece begins in earnest. The melody in the right hand is accompanied by broken chords in the left quite a stretch, even for long fingers.
The real exercise was to breathe along with each melodic phrase so that the whole sound became an integrated, more visceral, performance. The final section is a repetition of the first, only this time with greater urgency conveyed by the increase in flexibility and movement in the right hand.
Up and down the scale it goes, spiraling upward into a wide glissando. The markings are delicato, then delicatissimo, subtly moving the listener to a surprising ending. We modulate from the minor key to its relative major. Though written in , the piece was not published until 21 years after his death. There is heart as well as soul in the Nocturne in C-sharp Minor. They were close. After he emigrated to Paris in , the two corresponded extensively. When his health took a turn for the worse, she traveled to be with him.
It was to her that he made a strange request: that should he die of his disease—and he did—his heart should be taken back to Warsaw. During the German occupation, priests smuggled the heart out of Holy Cross, hiding it from the Nazis. Wladyslaw Szpilman played by Adrien Brody , a renowned Polish pianist, performed the C-sharp-minor nocturne during a live broadcast of Polish radio in September , while Warsaw was under attack by the invading German army.
As bombs fell and buildings crumbled around him, he kept on playing.
