Top of swaying Astrotower to be taken down as Luna Park seeks to reopen for the 4th, spokesperson says
By: AA , James Ford
Coney Island, BROOKLYN (PIX11) — Luna Park has decided to remove the top portion of the iconic Astrotower as soon as possible in an effort to open the park in time for July 4th.
A portion of the famed boardwalk will also be closed as they work to remove the tower's top.
"A decision has been made to remove a portion of the Astrotower. This will happen as soon as possible so the areas of Coney Island that have been temporarily closed to the public may reopen. The Scream Zone at Luna Park, the Coney Island Raceway and the B&B Carousell are currently open to the public and are under normal operation. We look forward to a safe and happy July 4th weekend that will continue as planned with fireworks after tonight 's Brooklyn Cyclones game. On July 4th , Coney Island will host the 98th Annual International Hot Dog Eating Contest at Nathan's Famous, FourthFest at MCU Park, live music at Place to Beach and free fireworks at night," a spokeswoman said in a statement to PIX11.
WATCH LIVE: PORTION OF ASTROTOWER TO BE DISMANTLED (CAM IS A STILL IMAGE THAT UPDATES EVERY 15-30 MIN.)
It's a structure that for some represents the glory days of Coney Island as well as the hope of recapturing that glory. For now, however, the Astrotower Wednesday represented a possible danger that has the Luna Park amusement area shut down.
The danger was in the form of the tower's dramatic swaying. According to city Commissioner of Buildings Robert Limandri, the tower that had been the centerpiece of the old Astroland amusement area is swaying at least a foot-and-a-half either way as it moves side to side periodically. That sway is even stronger higher up the 25-storey steel column, he said.
The threat of the tower falling over caused firefighters and police on Tuesday evening to shut down the section of Luna Park that includes the Wonder Wheel ferris wheel as well as the world-renowned Cyclone roller coaster.
However, at around 11:00 Tuesday night, Luna Park's public relations firm sent out a message on Facebook and other media, saying, "The Buildings Department has announced that the Astrotower is stable and poses no immediate risk."
That did not mean the tower and the area around it were safe, however. In fact, inspectors from the Buildings Department, FDNY, NYPD and the operator of Luna Park spent the day Wednesday examining the tower and meeting over whether or not it was safe to open up the amusement area.
Luna Park's operators had hoped to reopen by noon Wednesday, but at that time, the park's gates were locked tight. Workers were on hand, providing some hope that the amusement park that was built in 2010 on the old Astroland park would open for the day sometime on Wednesday.
"We came down from Washington Heights," said Nathan Newman, referencing the Upper Manhattan neighborhood where he and his elementary school-age daughter Lorelei live. "It's about an hour-and-a half to two-hour train ride, so it would be very sad if it didn't open."
The Chen Family had come to Luna Park from Nassau County on Long Island to celebrate the birthday of their son, Kelvin. "Really upset," is how Kelvin's sister, Kelly, described how she felt about the closure of the park and the world famous roller coaster across the street. "I was really looking forward to riding the Cyclone," she told PIX11 News.
Throughout the day Wednesday, engineers assessed the sway, and tried to come to a decision on opening. A source close to their discussions told PIX11 News around 1:30 P.M. Wednesday that there would be no opening, and at 2:00 P.M., management most of the staff home for the day.
Commissioner Limandri summed up the problem at a mid-afternoon news conference. He pointed out that the Astrotower had for years swayed in the breeze and made a whistling sound as it did so. Now, however, he said, it was more easily reaching its tolerance for movement. And, Limandri added, "it's reaching that tolerance at a very low wind speed."
He said that the Astrotower, The Wonder Wheel, the Cyclone, Luna Park, and the Coney Island Boardwalk adjacent to Luna Park would all remain closed overnight, and until the Astrotower structure could be declared safe.
He also said, though, that there may only be one way to ensure the tower's safety. "As we dismantle the tower," Limandri suggested, as a possible option, "we will look at the integrity of the foundation," a move that he said would be done to determine if Superstorm Sandy was the cause of the tower's more pronounced movements back and forth.
Management of Luna Park told workers who were scheduled for shifts on Thursday to report for work as usual. That was no guarantee, though, that the amusement park will be able to open on what is usually one of its highest-grossing days of the year for ticket sales.

Our trips to London always inevitably involve a bit of hassle. Non-handicap accessible tube stations, which means we carry a double stroller up three flights of stairs, crowded streets, lines, etc. I'm not complaining. We're lucky to have such an amazing city just a train ride away. And it's well worth the effort, each and every time we visit. But there's nothing about going into London that's easy. I suppose that's true of any city, particularly when you have young kids.
So I truly appreciate those moments of relaxed bliss, a chance to carve out some space among the streets and the sights, full of millions of people, when you feel like you have a little corner all to yourself. Exactly what we were treated to when we ventured over to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in mid-December.
We hadn't heard much about what it's like to visit the site of the 2012 Olympic Games (ok, we had heard nothing about visiting, actually), but our curiosity was too great and it was well worth the walk over from our apartment that weekend.
Truthfully, much of the park is still closed for redevelopment. From what we could see of the grounds, it's going to be amazing. And most of the major sporting facilities that were used for the Games are going to be open for public use (gyms, indoor swimming pools, biking, etc.) Meaning you might be able to swim laps where Michael Phelps backstroked to glory.
To our delight, what is currently open includes one of the most creative playgrounds we've ever visited. Called the Tumbling Bay Playground, it has a strong connection to the grounds that surround it, with wooden structures, twisty tree branches, and so much for kids to run on, climb, swing from, pour water on, etc. (It reminded me a bit of the Children's Garden at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis).
Afterall, it's not often you get to play with the Olympic rings as your backdrop.


I need some advice please – I own a cafe/art gallery patronized by quiet older folk and all the staff here have been with me from the beginning 2 years ago. One of the servers has just had his hair cut into a mohawk and dyed pink. I moved him into the kitchen for the day but I really don't know what to do with him. He will terrify all the dear old ladies who come in but I don't want to get rid of him. He states that he doesn't know if he is keeping the hairstyle or not – any suggestions???

Highlighting HSO's Mary Irwin
Hendersonville – The Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra (HSO), celebrates its 48th anniversary this fall. Due to COVID-19, all concerts have been canceled for 2020.
Still, the Orchestral talent plays on, and concertmaster Mary C. Irwin is one to be celebrated.
Here are a few of Mary Irwin's special and personal memories from her past:
Q: At what age did you first learn to play music? What instrument was it?
When I was a baby, my parents' house was too small for a crib room, so they pushed my crib up against an old family piano. My mother tells me that, once I had learned to stand, I would reach through the crib bars and "play" the piano. I started formal piano lessons with my aunt when I was four.
Q: What inspired you to play classical music professionally?
After three years of violin lessons, I managed to squeak into the SC All State orchestra in the eighth grade, where I sat in the very back of the second violins. There were two pieces on the program, Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. Since I played primarily by ear and was not great at reading music yet, I prepared for that concert by listening repeatedly to recordings while following a score. There is magic in Beethoven 5, and I realized suddenly that I could be in that magic. I was hooked. I can still remember the exact moment in that symphony that captured me so completely, and that same spot still moves me today, even after hearing it hundreds of times. Such is the power of great music.
Q: When did you start to play with the Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra?
Tom Joiner asked me to serve as a guest concertmaster for the HSO in the 2012-13 season. I had just moved back to my hometown of Spartanburg after twenty five years as a violinist in the Columbus Symphony in Ohio. After the HSO members had the opportunity to evaluate all of the guest concertmasters that season, I was chosen to take that position permanently.
Q: Since the COVID-19 restrictions have limited gatherings and live music, how has that changed your artistic routine of making music?
This year has been the first moment since I was 15 that I have not been preparing for a concert nearly every week. At first, the concert stoppage was a surprisingly welcome rest! I have been able to continue teaching through the spring and summer, and in July, the Masterworks Festival, where I have taught for 22 summers, held an abbreviated chamber music program, complete with masking and social distancing. Though there was no orchestra and many inconvenient precautions, we all agreed that the efforts were worth it: 72 students and 22 faculty were able to give 6 chamber music concerts in two weeks and we were all so thankful to get to play together again! Since then I have played in churches and with colleagues and students in small groups of two or three. But no orchestras have resumed, which is what I truly love.
Q: How do you think this health crisis will affect classical music long term?
I do hope that this protracted quarantine on life has made people long to be with other people, and to more keenly appreciate the joy of live performances of all kinds. Once orchestras reconvene for live concerts again, I believe audiences will return as thirsty people run to water, and there will be a renaissance of community participation and pride in local events.
The Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra has announced a new program designed to help keep in touch with the community during this time while their stage is dark. The program consists of series of professionally produced videos, filled with the music we all miss, played in small groups made up of HSO members. Beyond the music, they will include insightful and candid interviews with the musicians. They have carefully chosen small ensembles from their talented pool of musicians and feature a wide range of musical themes. The first in the series will be available to view in early November.
Governor Cooper's NC Arts Funding
Earlier this month, Governor Cooper announced a spending plan that includes $10 Million in aid to arts organizations in all 100 counties impacted by COVID-19 and related business disruptions through the NC Arts Council. This is part of a $20 million investment through the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources using allocations from the State's Coronavirus Relief Fund created by the CARES Act. Arts NC has been in communication with administration officials in recent weeks discussing the increased need for relief funding for the arts as so much of the industry remains shuttered.
Efforts are ongoing to coordinate this much needed support throughout the state. The arts relief funding initiatives including the Governor's spending plan and the arts funding bills filed earlier this year, S738 and H1068, have had significant bipartisan support in the NC House of Representatives. For more information visit the ARTS NC action center website.

The Heart—Symbolism and Mythology
CMHypno
Cynthia is an author who has written a series of science fantasy books. She also writes short stories and is busy writing two more novels
Heart Symbols | Source
The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. It pumps blood through the circulatory system to provide the oxygen and nutrients our bodies need to survive. If our hearts stop beating, we die. It is that simple.
However, could this vital organ be even more than that? In the modern world we tend to see the brain as the source of our intelligence, thoughts and creativity. We believe our conscience is in our brain and it controls our actions, provides our moral compass. It may surprise you that in antiquity the heart was viewed as the source of wisdom and the organ used to choose between right and wrong.
Also, that modern science is making discoveries which back this up and could prove our distant ancestors were right. We are urged to use 'head over heart'. Is this the best advice to follow?
Today the heart symbol is one we all recognise. We link it with romantic love, sentimentality and passion. We find hearts emblazoned on everything from lingerie to greetings cards, jewellery to tea towels. But where did the symbol come from and how did it become associated with love and romance?
Weighing the Heart in the presence of Osiris | Source
The Heart in Ancient Egypt
The ancient Egyptians believed the physical organ, which they called haty, was different to the metaphysical heart or ib. The ib was the source of wisdom, memories and thought, not the brain.
Whereas they removed the brain during the process of mummification, they left the heart in the body, protected by a valuable heart scarab, as an important key to entering the afterlife.
In Egyptian mythology, the ib came into being at the time of conception, forged from a single drop of blood from the mother's heart. The ib survived the physical death of the body.
It was placed on a set of scales and weighed against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice, in a ceremony presided over by Osiris and a tribunal of forty-three other deities. The jackal-headed psychopomp Anubis led the deceased through the gates to the underworld and presented the deceased at the ceremony.
If the scales tipped in favour of the deceased, they became one with Osiris. However, any heart found to be heavy with sin got thrown to the monster Ammit, the 'eater of the dead' who devoured it along with any hope of a happy afterlife.
The ib was so important to the Ancient Egyptians they incorporated into their words, such as Awt-ib – happiness, and in people's names. I think my favourite name is Peribsen, which means 'hope of all hearts.'
The Heart in Ancient Greece and Rome
By the time of the Greeks and Romans, there was an understanding of how the physical heart worked. Erasistratus (304-250 BC) described this organ as a pump and wrote about the heart valves and how they worked.
Plato (427-347 BC) also wrote the heart is the organ which causes the blood to pump to all parts of the body. However, it was Aristotle who regarded the heart as the source of our power of thought.
Although nobody is certain where our modern heart symbol comes from, it could have originated in this period of classical antiquity, based on a plant called silphium, common around the Greek coastal colony of Cyrene in North Africa.
Believed to be a species of giant fennel, it produced a resin, known as laser or laserpicium, the Greeks and Romans used as a spice in their food, as an herbal remedy, an aphrodisiac and a form of birth control. It was prized throughout the classical world and became such a valuable trade good they stamped it's image on coins minted in Cyrene.
These pictures on the coins could have been the origin of the heart symbol we know so well today. The herb's popularity made it become rare and then extinct in Roman times, so the ancient images now cannot be compared with a living plant.
It is also from the Roman period one of the more popular heart images comes from. The Romans revered a deity called Cupid, said to be the son of the love goddess Venus and the fiery war god Mars.
Cupid was depicted as a plump male infant, carrying a bow and arrow. Legend has it the mischievous deity had two arrows, one tipped with gold and one tipped with lead.
Your heart, hit by a gold-tipped arrow, gets filled with love and desire. Hit by the lead-tipped arrow, you become revolted by the object of your affection and try to escape. In modern times, a heart pierced by an arrow, has come to represent being lovesick and heartbroken
Roman de la Poire - suitor offers his heart? | Source
Medieval Courtly Love
In the Middle Ages, a new tradition arose around passion and romance, courtly love. It was a time when marriages, especially among the wealthy, were arranged for financial and dynastic reasons.
This idealistic relationship was usually formed between an unattainable lady, married and of higher status, and a much humbler suitor. The major themes of these stylised affairs were chivalry, fidelity, unrequited passion; with the man undertaking quests and tasks to prove himself worthy of his lady's affections. He was her servant, defender and worshipped her as a saint.
'Amour Courtois' first arose in the Languedoc region of southern France, before spreading to Italy, Spain, then northwards. In time it became a codified etiquette; one the lovers needed to follow for the sake of their honour and the purity of their feelings.
It gave rise to medieval literature such as the 13th century allegorical poem 'Roman de la Rose', which spoke of the exquisite tension of always walking the tightrope between joy and despair. It was the time of the troubadours, who toured the courts of Europe, singing lyrical poems about yearning swains, beautiful, out of reach ladies and the highest expressions of romance.
It is from this time that perhaps the first image of a suitor giving his heart away to his lady comes in a mid-13th century manuscript of the 'Roman de la Poire'
Hearts Suit on German Card Deck of 1545 | Source
Hearts Suit on Playing Cards
Most of us have at least one pack of playing cards at home and are familiar with the suit of Hearts. Suited playing cards, it is believed, were first used in China in the late 13th century, before spreading to Europe, via Egypt.
These cards evolved over time to use the suits we are familiar today – hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades.
The early Latin suits depicted cups, coins, clubs and swords, which led to the Germanic suits of roses, bells, acorns and shield.
The Germanic suit then was changed to hearts, bells, acorns and leaves. The French suits further adapted to retain hearts, but the bells became diamonds, acorns became clubs, and leaves became spades.
The Queen of Hearts is the court card still associated today with a woman who is both loving and well-beloved.
Victorian Valentine's Day Cards
The Victorian Age was one of sentimentality and romance. Although the tradition of St Valentine's Day has been around since antiquity, it was the introduction of the penny post in Britain in January 1840 and mass-produced Valentine's Day cards that made it affordable for ordinary people.
Victorian cards were brightly coloured, highly embellished and covered in hearts! Handmade cards were also favoured and would be decorated with lace, satin bows, pressed flowers and romantic verses or jokes.
This custom has carried on until today, where now there are hundreds of different products and cards, with hearts and slogans printed on them, which you can present to your beloved on 14th February.
Heart or Brain?
We have seen the heart has been important throughout history in different ways and the symbol itself has evolved and changed over the centuries.
So, which of our organs is the seat of our conscious awareness and intelligence? The heart or the brain? The new discipline of neurocardiology explores how the heart and the brain interact.
It shows the heart is a sensory organ, which receives and decodes information. There is a 'heart brain', which can make decisions, remember and learn. The heart sends signals to the brain, affecting brain functions such as perception, solving problems and memory.
At HeartMath, their research shows that when we feel negative emotions, such as fear or anger, the rhythm of the heart becomes unstable, sending signals to the brain to curb higher cognitive functions.
It's why we make poorer decisions when we are stressed and afraid. In dangerous, challenging situations we feel the negative emotions in our hearts; they gallop and race. We do not feel it in the brain.
Thoughts and memories alone can trigger changes to our heart rhythms, which is why practices such as positive thinking, meditation and regular physical exercise can be so beneficial to our health.
So maybe we need a new heart ideograph for the modern age? One which shows there is more to this vital organ than a simple pump for moving blood around our bodies or a symbol of romance?
Is Your Heart or Your Brain the Seat of Your Intelligence and Moral Compass?

As the King feeds, in walks his diabolical son, Radu (Anders Hove), who has come to claim his birthright. Always prepared for this day of betrayal, Vladislav traps his evil spawn in a cage, but not for long. Radu, being the son of a witch, is able to break off the tips of his fingers who form quickly into little gargoyle-looking creature (subspecies) that help to free him. He than dispenses of his father and claims the "bloodstone" for himself.
The story now shifts to the world of the living. Michele (Laura Tate) and Lillian (Michelle McBride) have traveled to Transylvania to research local folklore with their roommate Mara (Irina Mara).

As the girls do their research, they meet Stefan (Michael Watson), a local who has returned home upon hearing news of the the death of his father.
Michele catches the eye and heart of Stefan, as well as, his evil half brother Radu, who has sets his sights on turning all three girls into his brides. While succeeding with Mara and Lillan, this power struggle goes beyond the "bloodstone" for Michele is the true prize they both desire. Karl (Ivan J. Rado) and Steffan have been preparing for this final battle for a long time, but they cannot know what horrors Radu has awaiting them as they rush to free Michele. Who will win and who will lose their head??? Rent this film to see for yourself!!!!

Full Moon's ode to Nosferatu is one of the better vampire films of the 90's. Although the sequels are not as effective as the first film, both Part 2 and 3 are very entertaining films. I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the most recent Subspecies IV: Bloodstorm. Ted Nicholaou did an excellent job directing this films. This is one of the first vampire movies shot in Transylvania. The location and atmosphere of Romanian really added to the overall effectiveness of this film.
The films begins in 15th-century Transylvania. After saying his last good-byes to his beloved Elisabeta (Winona Ryder), Prince Vlad Tepes (Gary Oldman) knowing that he faces insurmountable odds from which he may never return. As victory comes swiftly for the Tepes, the vengeful Turks shoot a arrow into the his castle carrying false new of his death. Unable to imagine life without her love, Elisabeta decides to ends her life by jumping from the castle into the river below. Enraged by the blasphemy spoken from the lips of his clergy regarding his beloved Elisabeta (that she will never walk in the "Kingdom of Heaven", because she committed suicide), Vlad pledges his soul to darkness and forever damns himself ... "DRACULA". Thus begins a love affair that will span the oceans of times.
The story now shifts to 1871 as we see a young lawyer, Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves), making his way across the Carpathian Mountains to a gloomy little village in the mists of eastern Europe. There he is to finalize paperwork with a Transylvanian Count who has been buy up property in London. Little does Jonathan know what terror awaits him as he is quickly imprisoned by Dracula and his minions. The Count is preparing to travel to London alone, for it seems that his lifeblood has begun to flow strong once again when he sees a photograph of Harker's betrothed, Mina Murray (Winona Ryder).
Upon arriving in Britain, Dracula begins his reign of terror as he searches for his long lost love Elisabeta...I mean Mina. He seduces Mina's closest friend, Lucy Westenra (Sadie Frost) into his world of darkness and Mina isn't far behind. But at last, help comes when renown scientist Dr Abraham Van Helsing's (Anthony Hopkins) shows up. He establishes that Lucy is indeed not suffering from some rare blood disease, but rather her demise is the work of a "nosferatu" and in this case, the "king of all vampires" ...DRACULA. The race is on for this creature of the night in hopes of saving Mina's mortal soul, but will love conquer all???
This film was billed as the most faithful adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel "Dracula". Exquisitely directed and shot by Francis Ford Coppola. Most retelling of this classic novel have neglected the foundation of the story, which is one of undying love. The vulnerability, yet destructive Dracula, in only searching to find peace with his true love. It is and always will be a "love story" with major horror overtones. The casting of Gary Oldman was magnificent and if these were the early days of "Hammer", I could easily see his being cast over and over again in the tragic role of "DRACULA". The rest of the support case is more than adequate with a sub par performance being given by Keanu Reeves and an over-the-top performance by Anthony Hopkins, which at times gets tiresome (I much prefer the Van Helsing of Peter Cushing). Overall, this is a tremendous and beautiful film and one of the best horror movies of the 90's.
The movie begins with a prologue set in contemporary San Francisco. A young interviewer (Christian Slater), a sort of collector of lives, agrees to hear Louie's (Brad Pitt) tale. "Than how shall we begin", Louie states, "....when I was born into darkness"?
The year is 1791 and Louie is a 24-year old Plantation owner in Louisiana. His death had come long before this story began, for he had truly stopped living when his wife and child died. Now praying for his physical death, Louie's invitation is finally accepted by Lestat (Tom Cruise), but this death only brings eternal life and torment for Louie.
Unable at first to accept his very existence as a vampire, Louie sustains his "un-life" with the blood of rats and other animals. When he final breaks down and feeds on a young girl (Kirsten Dunst), Lestat decides it is time to add to the family and makes the girl Louie's companion. As the years go by, young Claudia becomes enraged with Lestat, because he has forever damned her a child that can never grow up. Her pain would later leads to her apparent kill Lestat.
Now the year is 1870 when Louie and Claudia travel to Europe in search of their own kind. Their travels bring them to Paris where they meet Armand (Antonio Banderas) and his underground cadre of vampires. Louie hopes to learn more about his lineage from Armand. Fearing that Louie may soon leave her, Claudia asks him to transforms a local woman (Dominizia Giordano) into a surrogate mother for her. But when Armand troupes learn of Lestat's murder, they imprison Claudia and Madeleine in a dry well and entomb Louie. Death comes unmercifully for the women as the sunlight reclaims their souls. When Louie is finally freed by Armand, he reaps his revenge on the vampires by burning them in their crypt.
In the the years that followed , Louie returns to America, and in modern New Orleans he again encounters his old master Lestat, who is now only a shadow of his former self. As the interview ends, the shaken Daniel drives off thinking that he's got a story of a lifetime, but an unexpected guest may change his life forever.
Interview with the Vampire
There was a lot of controversy that surrounded this film. It took almost twenty years to get this novel made into a movie and at first Anne Rice was not very happy when she found out that Tom Cruise was cast as Lestat. She went so far as to ask her fans to boycott the film and only recanted her request after seeing a cut of the movie. Neil Jordan, director of the Crying Game, did a marvelous job of bringing Rice's vision to the silver screen and the film oozes with rich imagery and atmosphere. One of the best vampire movies ever to be made, easily blowing away Bram Stoker's Dracula. Supposedly, a sequel is in the work that will focus on Lestat

In 1883, Mark Twain completed The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a work he had been 'fooling over' for seven years. Although it began modestly as a boyhood romance, Twain's rich imagination transformed it into arguably the most important American novel of the century, influencing writers as diverse as F. Scott Fitzgerald and J. D. Salinger.
Huck Finn, aged about 13, is trapped between a father whose only concern is whether there is enough whiskey in the jug for 'two drunks and one delirium tremens' and the relentlessly 'sivilizing' influence of the Widow Douglas. Along with runaway slave Jim, Huck makes his bid for freedom, and the two fugitives set off on a 1,000-mile odyssey down the Mississippi River to Arkansas. It is a journey of high adventure and dark enchantments in a world of steamboats, river men and hustlers – at once an irresistible story of boy-life on the Mississippi, an ironic indictment of Southern society with its slavery, materialism and petty feuding, and a compelling portrait of a continent coming of age. This edition, part of the Folio Collectables series, features 16 dynamic wood engravings by Harry Brockway.
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, in the 'almost invisible' village of Florida, Missouri, and raised in Hannibal, Missouri, on the banks of the great Mississippi river. He worked as a printer's apprentice, steamboat pilot and miner before beginning to write sketches and stories under the pen name 'Mark Twain'. He married Olivia Langdon in 1870, and the couple moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where Twain wrote his most famous novels. He published prolifically until his death and cultivated both a public persona – complete with white suit and cigar – and an immediately recognisable tone: deadpan, colloquial, unselfconscious. His later years were marked by the death of his wife and two of his children, and by disastrous investments, but he remained beloved by the reading public all over the world.
A hilarious novel from the master of satire and irony. Factory manager Hank finds himself transported to legendary Camelot, but soon discovers that King Arthur's court isn't quite as chivalrous as he thought.


I don't claim to be a music expert in any way, and I definitely have my own quirky tastes, but I felt compelled to claim B.A.P's Wake Me Up as my favorite for 2017. There were many other incredible K-Pop works this year, but this one grabbed my philosophical side, which is what gives it a special spot in my heart.
B.A.P has been a group since 2012 and in their most recent years, have focused on songs with messages covering important topics often avoided by many, whether performing artists or not. Columnist Jeff Benjamin highlights their history and his own support for this song in his March 2017 Billboard article, Why B.A.P's 'Wake Me Up' Is the K-Pop Act's Most Personal & Accomplished Single Yet. Here are my thoughts on why this song is my 2017 favorite.
Let me make clear what I think is expressed in this song: we have social and emotional barriers that we must break down and connections to make.
We try to hide our misery, and we know hate and anger are around us more and more. Something has to give- we need and deserve to live our supportive truths- but we can't do it alone. We need others to help us out of our dark times. We need to call other people out of their darkness, as well.
The actors in the Wake Me Up video clearly come from all racial and social backgrounds and all suffer from deception, alienation and violence. This is a critical part of the video's success. By coming together and being willing to struggle as a group, they *may* overcome.
Initially blinded by choice and manipulation, the people start to see reality. One woman finally sees that her food isn't really food. Another stops hiding behind masks and vomits out the pills and alcohol she's been using to deal. A man, desperately trying to clear the puppet-inducing darkness people are walking through (he promotes an Emotion Revolution), smashes a stalled car before tiny lights start to appear: first from the band members who want to share their light, and then larger and varied types of fires as people come together.
Of course, this song's addictive sound was what first drew me in. It's been a mainstay of my workout soundtrack. B.A.P are masters at layering beats, vocals, and instrumentals.
The song first whimpers, then cries, yells, howls and finally explodes in a crescendo as you're moved to an energized, hopeful energy as the group paints a picture of What Could Be. The singers glare and the music lacks any fluff but is not all gloom, either. There are no guarantees. However, we absolutely must try to reach up and out so we can all experience a bit of the warm sun.
B.A.P's great strength is rooted, in part, to the huge problems of their industry. Illnesses based in depression, anxiety and other mental conditions connected to isolation and feelings of lack of control are part of the modern world on the whole, however, and we all have to face that fact. Thankfully, they have dealt with their trials openly. SHINee's Kim Jong-hyun's magical talent was no match to what he felt he was facing, alone. He didn't escape his pain. His fans embraced the symbol of a hand holding a red rose after his death: the rose of love. In B.A.P's video, you see the newly awakened, in their new world, holding red roses and smiling.
Many fans are making connections between this song and that tragedy. For all of us who see the sun rise in the morning, we have the choice, opportunity and obligation to try for that new world for everyone to feel respected, loved, and valued. Together.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this or your own 2017 favorites. Please comment below.

Q: Docker: Simple ls command not working in docker build I have the following Dockerfile
FROM fedora:28
RUN ls

when I run the command
docker build .

I get the following error message:
The command '/bin/sh -c ls' returned a non-zero code: 139

Why does that happen and how can I fix it?

A: With something as simple as that not working, check your installation and follow the following instructions:
https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/fedora/#install-docker-ce-1

A: I cant reproduce this error on Windows 10 'Docker for Windows', some people suggest this might be because of host OS kernel where your docker engine is running. So i would say, try updating the kernel.

A: Well. May be, try another docker image? For example, I had had similar issue, but I needed to run some commands from jar file which was is in docker image. I had used alpine version of jdk-17 and even 'ls' command did not return anything. After changing to simple debian-based image it started working as expected.

YORK, Pa. -- New Year's Eve is fast approaching, and many communities in central Pennsylvania are already preparing for big celebrations.
Not to be outdone by the ball drop in New York City, in old York, York City, the tradition to drop a white rose continues this New Year's Eve.
It's just one of many unique and unusual symbolic items being dropped or raised to ring in the New Year.
New Year's Eve preparations are already blowing up as many Pennsylvania communities get ready to drop in the new year.
York City special events coordinator Mary Yeaple said "Pennsylvania has a lot of interesting drops. There's a lot of pickles, cigars, all sorts of things...to a peep. Lots of really cool things all over Pennsylvania."
The list also includes a bologna drop in Lebanon County; a wrench drop in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County; as well as a Hershey's Kiss raise in Derry Township, Dauphin County. Meanwhile, the 'White Rose City,' also known as York City, will be dropping what else, but a white rose.
"It's a wonderful tradition. People look forward to this. People who grew up in York, remember the white rose coming down at the square, it's a great tradition. We're very fortunate that we have a number of generous corporate sponsors who help us keep these traditions alive," Yeaple said.
The 'Red Rose City,' Lancaster, will lower a red rose. In Hanover, York County, a borough that used to drop a black rose, Timeline Arcade is taking a break from its own tradition.
Timeline Arcade district manager Scott Steinbrenner said "Elsner Engineering made a whole new Pac-Man display for us, with a countdown timer, and it's going to be moving, which is a little different. In the past, we would just drop a Pac-Man, sort of like the way you drop a ball on New Year's.
Elsner Engineering Works corporate sales manager Jay Roth said "I've been bringing my sons here for the past couple years to take part in the event to watch from outside, and felt we could help them make an even better, even better Pac-Man."
Whether it's a cigar raise in Red Lion, York County; a sled drop in Duncannon, Perry County; or a pickle drop in Dillsburg, York County; many are just looking forward to ringing in a new year.
"It's just basically a fun time to get everyone out, we like to go all out on New Year's," Steinbrenner said .
"It's the end of the year. You're starting over new, turning the page on a new calendar. It's just a fresh start," Yeaple said.

Crowne of Sonnets Dedicated to Love | Mary Wroth #poem
October 7, 2021 October 7, 2021 ~ Brona's Books
Lady Wroth with archlute. Unknown artist.
From the collection of Viscount De L'Isle.
I recently read Mrs March by Virginia Feito. It was a terrific read, full of curiosities and strange behaviours. One of which came from the author herself – a second epigraph inserted towards the end to preface the final two chapters of the book.
The first epigraph was a section of the poem The Gossipers by Dylan Thomas. Feito selected her epigraphs perfectly. This one highlights how concerned Mrs March was by the opinions of others, with a random comment being the trigger for sending her off down a rabbit hole of suspicion and delusion
This second epigraph (below) was the first two lines of Crowne of Sonnets Dedicated to Love by Lady Mary Wroth (1587 – 1653). I was duly intrigued to see how well this one matched the final moments of the story.
Crowne of Sonnets Dedicated to Love
In this strange labyrinth how shall I turn?
Ways are on all sides, while the way I miss:
If to the right hand, there, in love I burn;
Let me go forward, therein danger is.
If to the left, suspicion hinders bliss;
Let me turn back, shame cries I ought return,
Nor faint, though crosses with my fortune kiss;
Stand still is harder, although sure to mourn.
Thus let me take the right, or left hand way,
Go forward, or stand still, or back retire:
I must these doubts endure without allay
Or help, but travail find for my best hire.
Yet that which most my troubled sense doth move,
Is to leave all, and take the thread of Love.
Mrs March was one unusual lady. Paranoid, probably mad, maybe even schizophrenic. Feito's story has a long, sinuous build, with the final two chapters delivering the long awaited pay off. 'Strange labyrinth' sums up the workings of Mrs March's mind perfectly. She was one troubled lady.
I was also reminded of a section from this year's Miles Franklin award winning novel, The Labyrinth,
The maze is a challenge to the brain (how smart you are), the labyrinth to the heart (will you surrender). In the maze you grapple with the challenge but in the labyrinth you let go. Effortlessly you come back to where you started, somehow changed by the act of surrender.
Mrs March's heart AND mind were a labyrinth not only to herself, but to others. It could be said that she had surrendered and let go too much. Danger and suspicion and shame threaten her at every turn and once she started down the winding path, there was no clear way out.
I do love it when an author finds the perfect epitaph for their book. Twice!
But who on earth was Lady Mary Wroth?
She was the daughter of Robert Sidney (sometime poet), the first earl of Leicester and Lady Barbara Gamage. She was also the niece of Sir Philip Sidney (poet-courtier) and goddaughter of Mary Herbert nee Sidney, Countess of Pembroke (writer & patron of the arts).
Wroth danced before Queen Elizabeth I and was intimate friends with Queen Anne (until the publication of her book). Her marriage to Robert Wroth in 1604 was an unhappy one almost from day one. Her friend Ben Jonson noted that 'my Lady Wroth is unworthily married on a Jealous husband'. He also left her in dire financial straits when he died a decade later. Wroth then began/continued a relationship with her cousin William Herbert, the 3rd earl of Pembroke. They had (at least) two illegitimate children together.
William was also a favourite of Queen Anne. Although affairs of this nature where common at court at this time, the story goes that Queen Anne was very displeased about Mary & William's relationship.
According to the Poetry Foundation she was the,
first Englishwoman to write a complete sonnet sequence as well as an original work of prose fiction. Although earlier women writers of the 16th century had mainly explored the genres of translation, dedication, and epitaph, Wroth openly transgressed the traditional boundaries by writing secular love poetry and romances.
Crowne of Sonnets Dedicated to Love is a sequence of fourteen poems of fourteen lines each (click on the link to read ALL 14 as I've only included the first one above). They formed part of her sonnet sequence Pamphilia to Amphilanthus which was appended to her prose romance The Countess of Montgomery's Urania when it was published in 1621.
The sonnets were written in corona form.
Corona (Italian for crown/circle/ring) demanded that the last line of each poem served as the first line of the next. By the end of the series, the last line of the final poem will be the same as the first line of the first poem, thus completing a circle or cycle.
The Countess of Montgomery's Urania epic contains over six thousand words, more than three hundred characters with a total of 56 poems interspersed throughout. She plays with an incredible array of genres to highlight the different personalities of her characters – sonnets, madrigals, dialogues, ballads, pastoral narratives, and sapphic lines.
The controversy, though, centred around the technique she used for her novel. It was a roman à clef about 'Queen Pamphilia' and her love for her cousin, the 'Emperor Amphilanthus'. Many of the characters and their scandals were based upon members of the Sidney family as well as those at the court of King James. Some of those alluded to in the book were duly outraged, and publicly condemned Wroth for her work.
She withdrew the book from publication later in the year.
This and her cooling friendship with Queen Anne, saw Mary retire from court life. By the mid-1620's the inconstant William Herbert was also losing interest and having other affairs. The final decade of Mary's life is mostly undocumented, although it appears that her financial difficulties dogged her until the end.
Mary is commemorated in Loughton, Essex by the naming of a footpath adjacent to Loughton Hall as Lady Mary's Path.

Lady Wroth is No.1 in Dale Spender's list of 100 women authors before Jane Austen. Spender credits her with some notable firsts. At a time when published stories took the form of Pastoral Romances – Princes and Princesses in Arcadia playing at being shepherds and shepherdesses, Mary Wroth introduced realistic characters and dialogue.
There's more in my post "Mothers of the Novel, Dale Spender", including a link to more of her poetry (translated by Latrobe Uni)
This is fabulous thanks Bill. I should have known you would have been all over this! Just when I thought I (& Feito) were discovering a long lost forgotten female writer 😊
I repay the favour later tonight with a post thanking you for 'discovering' a writer to me
And, of course, it was the realistic nature of her story that got Mary into trouble. Everyone knew the 2 main characters were herself & William and she used many real-life court dramas in her story. And courtiers!

Kostel Panny Marie Sněžné v Olomouci je římskokatolický barokní kostel v Olomouci zasvěcený Panně Marii Sněžné. Nachází se na Náměstí republiky při někdejším minoritském klášteře. Původně klášterní kostel sálového typu má pětiosé bohatě sochařsky zdobené průčelí se dvěma věžemi, jež jsou významným prvkem panoramatu města. Je příkladem vrcholné barokní teorie spojení architektury s komplexním uměleckým vybavením interiéru (bel composto). Je na seznamu nemovitých kulturních památek České republiky.

Historie
Jezuité, které povolal do Olomouce v roce 1566 biskup Vilém Prusinovský, získali do užívání  klášter minoritů i s gotickým kostelem Panny Marie. Po třicetileté válce začali s výstavbou rozsáhlého komplexu barokních budov, jehož součástí byl nový kolejní kostel jako místo pro pastoraci studentů. Přípravné práce pro budování nového chrámu se konaly již od roku 1637a v roce 1692 byly plány dokončeny.

Základní kámen na místě někdejšího minoritského klášterního kostela byl položen v roce 1712 a v únoru 1716 byl vysvěcen. Zasvěcen byl  Panně Marii Sněžné. Toto pro jezuity na Moravě  poměrně neobvyklé patrocinium zřejmě souvisí s velkou morovou epidemií, která zasáhla Olomouc v roce  1715.  Celá stavba byla dokončena o sedm let později zřízením vstupního kamenného schodiště. V roce 1729 byly J. G. Halbichem vyrobeny varhany s tzv. nebeským orchestrem. Vnitřní úpravy probíhaly až do  roku 1743.

Autorem celého projektu kostela byl Michael Klein z Nisy, stavitelem Lukáš Glöckel (Kleckel), po jeho smrti řídil stavební práce od roku 1716 Wolfgang Reich. Vstupní portál s tordovanými sloupy vytvořil Václav Render, nástropní malbu Karel Josef Harringer, sochy Augustin Jan Thomasberger, Michael Zürn ml., Jan Sturmer a Wolfgang Träger a obrazy  Jan Jiří Schmidt,  Josef František Wickart, Johann Georg Heinsh a Karel Josef Harringer. Na výzdobě kostela také celých 24 let spolupracoval Jan Kryštof Handke a vytvořil zde množství fresek a několik obrazů. Výzdobě chrámu dominuje morový zázrak Panny Marie.

V roce 1773 ale císař Josef II. zrušil jezuitský řád a kostel poté  do roku 1778 sloužil olomoucké univerzitě pro akademické bohoslužby pod správou premonstrátů. Po přeložení univerzity do Brna kostel přešel do vlastnictví olomoucké vojenské posádky a později sloužil i jako skladiště. Až od roku 1910 začal opět sloužit věřícím, přičemž mezi lety 1916–1918 prošel jeho interiér rekonstrukcí pod dohledem Dušana Jurkoviče a  za účasti Adolfa Kašpara, Rudolfa Doležala a dalších moravských výtvarníků.

V roce 1952 přešel do majetku města, církevně  se stal farním kostelem a bohoslužby se v něm konaly pouze v neděli. V 70. letech 20. století byl restaurován varhanní prospekt, kruchta i vlastní varhany s nebeským orchestrem. V roce 1983 byla na západní stěně nad zpovědnicemi osazena nástěnná malba andělů s květinami, přenesená z klenby zrušené pohřební kaple v Norberčanech.

Po roce 1989 byl kostel předán Arcibiskupství olomouckému a od roku 2007 obdržel statut univerzitního kostela v majetku nově zřízené Akademické farnosti Olomouc. V 90. letech téhož století došlo na rekonstrukci exteriéru. V roce 2005 Otmar Oliva pro kostel zhotovil bronzový oltář s mramorovou deskou.  Pro svou velmi dobrou akustiku je kostel oblíbený mezi hudebníky. Během roku se zde pořádá mnoho koncertních vystoupení.

Popis

Exteriér
Monumentální barokní stavba je zakomponována do řady čtyřpodlažních objektů bývalých jezuitských univerzitních budov v historickém centru města. Kostel je orientován od severu k jihu, průčelí směřující do ulice má po stranách dvě věže zakončené barokními hlavicemi s lucernami. Vede k němu široké kamenné schodiště s podestou a balustrádou. Průčelí, rozdělené vysokými pilastry na pět os, je zakončeno výraznou profilovanou římsou s balustrádou. Prostor mezi věžemi nad římsou vyplňuje centrální štít.

Hlavní vstup do kostela zdobí předsunutý balkonový portál s trojicemi sloupů s korintskými hlavicemi. Mezi vstupními dveřmi a balkonem je umístěna velká kartuš s písmeny IHS, kterou po stranách drží dva andílci. V nikách vytvořených ve dvou řadách po boku vstupního portálu  jsou nad sebou umístěny v nadživotní velikosti pískovcové plastiky osmi světců. Pod korunní římsou jsou to  vlevo sv. Apolonie, sv. Vavřinec, sv. Petr, na pravé straně  sv. Anežka Římská, sv. Valentin a sv. Pavel.  Ve vrcholu štítu centrální osy stojí socha Panny Marie  s dítětem, ve výklencích po stranách jezuité sv. Ignác z Loyoly a sv. František Xaverský.

Interiér
Ve svém základním půdorysném řešení vychází kostel Panny Marie Sněžné z tradičního typu jezuitských kostelů, které mají za základ římský chrám Il Gesú.  Nemá křížení ani kupoli. Jednolodní kostel s mělkým presbytářem je dlouhý  53,5 m, široký 12,5 m a vysoký 24, 5m.  Po bocích lodě je osm postranních kaplí, dvě prostorné kaple jsou umístěny po stranách presbytáře. Nad kaplemi jsou průběžné empory s lomenými balustrádami. Loď je zaklenuta valenou klenbou s výsečemi,  presbytář má oválnou klenbu.  Fresková malba Karla Josefa Haringera na stropě hlavní lodi ztvárňuje legendu, podle níž zázračný obraz Panny Marie pomohl odvrátit epidemii moru v Římě.  Strop presbytáře je oslavou Panny Marie, obklopené světci  a apoštoly.  Latinské nápisy na freskách představují citáty  z velikonoční mariánské antifony.

Hlavní oltář je monumentální sochařské dílo, složené ze dvou pater. Spodní patro je tvořeno římsou nesenou šesti korintskými sloupy, z nichž krajní jsou tordované. U pat sloupů se nacházejí čtyři zlacené sochy:  světců sv. Vavřince, sv. Valentina a sochy evangelistů sv. Marka a sv. Lukáše. V horním patře jsou nad sloupy posazeni okřídlení cherubíni v nadživotní velikosti. Uprostřed je zavěšen velký jezuitský znak s písmeny IHS obklopený bílými mraky s andílky z nichž vychází zlaté paprsky.  Pod ním  je upevněn ve štukovém rámu oválný obraz Zjevení P.Marie Sněžné v Římě od J.J.Schmidta, připomínající legendu o založení kostela Santa Maria Maggiore v Římě. Oltář doplňuje kopie vzácné  gotické sochy Panny Marie s dítětem z lipového dřeva, která se dochovala z původního minoritského kostela. Originál je ve sbírkách Arcidiecezního muzea.

Boční kaple na evangelní (levé) straně v pořadí od presbytáře: sv. Ignáce z Loyoly (s pískovcovým náhrobkem s reliéfním vyobrazením biskupa Prusinovského), sv. Anny,  sv. Josefa, sv. Michaela, sv. Anděla Strážce.

Boční kaple na epištolní (pravé) straně v pořadí od presbytáře:  sv. Františka Xaverského,  sv. Pavlíny, sv. Alois z Gonzagy, sv. Karla Boromejského, sv. Barbory.

Pod posledním polem klenby lodi je na šesti korintských sloupech kruchta, která odděluje hlavní loď od předsíně kovovými mřížemi, umístěnými mezi sloupy. Barokní varhany vyrobil  Jan B, Halbich z Králík.  Bohatá sochařská a řezbářská výzdoba  zpodobňuje nebeský orchestr andělů a biblických postav. Autorem soch byl  Jan Sturmer.

V podlaze hlavní chrámové lodi je umístěn náhrobek s latinským nápisem, kryjící vstup do krypty.

Sakristie,  zaklenutá čtyřmi křížovými klenbami,  je umístěna v přízemí zahradního křídla objektu původní jezuitské koleje. Je vyzdobena souborem obrazů od Josefa Ignáce Sadlera a vybavena bohatě vyřezávaným a intarzovaným mobiliářem.

Točitá schodiště na kruchtu, do věží a do krovu kostela jsou umístěna v bočních stěnách obou předních věží. Dva kostelní zvony pocházejí z roku 1732.

California Shooting Leaves 10 Dead
Read OnlineOZY Thursday, May 27, 2021
Happy Thursday! Accents are intriguing … so much so that it turns out even Brazilian monkeys can't resist the temptation to switch between "potato" and "potahto." Well, sort of. Read more about that today and rewind to the times when the West has done what Belarus is facing heat for: forcing planes down to make arrests. Meet the world's most innovative drummer and a Colombian innovator reshaping her country's cocaine-linked image. Check out some heartwarming documentaries on education and take this week's "spot the difference" quiz.
Joshua Eferighe, Reporter, and Charu Sudan Kasturi, Senior Editor
1. California Nightmare
A gunman shot nine people dead before killing himself at a San Jose light rail yard on Wednesday, the latest in a mounting series of mass shootings that have hit America in recent months. President Joe Biden urged Congress to pass legislation to strengthen gun control. "We can, and we must, do more," he said. (Sources: USA Today, NBC)
2. Biden's Beijing Jab
The U.S. president has ordered his intelligence agencies to "redouble" efforts to track the origins of COVID-19, including the possibility that it originated from a Wuhan lab. German scientists say they've unraveled the reasons behind blood clots caused by some COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's former chief adviser Dominic Cummings accused Health Secretary Matt Hancock of "criminal" mishandling of the pandemic. Cummings described front-line health workers as "lions led by donkeys." Britain had better bray for the best. (Sources: NYT, CNN, Reuters, BBC, Guardian)
3. Time to Hedge Bets
Hedge fund investors in MGM are among the biggest beneficiaries of the Hollywood studio's dramatic sale to Amazon this week. Meanwhile, a Dutch court ordered oil giant Shell to diversify its energy portfolio to slash carbon emissions by 45% by 2030, in the latest blow to the fossil fuel sector. (Sources: WSJ, CNBC)
4. My Mind First
Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka has said she won't speak with the press during the French Open that starts this weekend, in a bid to safeguard her mental health. Is it OK for public figures to avoid answering questions, and does the media need to reflect on its behavior too? Vote here or on Twitter. (Source: Fox News)
Aping Accents
It turns out that apes do ape well. Scientists have found that monkeys called tamarins in the Brazilian Amazon adapt their accent when they move into the territory of another species so that their new neighbors can understand them better.

Divine Drummers
Ready to get that heartbeat up?
1. Greg Fox
He was drawing rave reviews a decade ago as arguably New York City's most exciting drummer. Since then he's only gotten better, melding physics, art and technology with his raw skill to become a one-man band producing some of the world's most radical drumming. He uses technology known as "sensory percussion" to turn a regular acoustic drum set into a sophisticated digital interface capable of producing an orchestra of sounds.
2. Famoudou Konaté
The Guinean drummer made the djembe an instrument the world has since embraced. He was djembe soloist in Les Ballets Africains de la République de Guinée, one of Africa's oldest and most reputed dance companies, for 28 years. Performing since 1948, he has exposed audiences everywhere from Europe to Japan to the magic of West African sounds. He's now an octogenarian but you can still listen to him.
3. Cindy Blackman Santana
After seeing a drum set for the first time at the age of seven, Cindy Blackman fell in love. She whined and begged her parents until she got one, which I'm sure they're glad they did. The 61-year-old spent 18 years touring with Lenny Kravitz's band. She was also the drummer in Carlos Santana's band when Santana proposed to Blackman on stage. The master guitarist and all-time-great drummer are still married.

Forced to Ground: Belarus Isn't the First
Belarus forced a plane to land on Sunday and then arrested a critic of authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, sparking global outrage and sanctions from Europe. But this isn't the first time a country has forced an aircraft to land to make arrests.
1. Snowden Search
In 2013, Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane was refused entry into French and Portuguese airspace and then forced to land in Vienna amid suspicions from European authorities that it was carrying former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who was wanted in the U.S. for leaking details of controversial domestic spying programs. Snowden was not on the plane, and the incident caused major diplomatic friction.
2. Hijacker Hunt
For a closer parallel with what happened over Belarus, look back to 1985. Like Lukashenko, the U.S. sent military jets to intercept a plane and force it to land. The Egyptair plane flying to Tunisia was carrying four Palestinian hijackers who had previously attacked a cruise ship. The plane eventually landed in Italy, where the hijackers were convicted and sentenced. But the same aircraft was then hijacked a month later and diverted to Malta, where a firefight with Egyptian commandos left at least 50 people dead.
3. Iranian Intercept
Tehran forced a Kyrgyz plane flying from Dubai to land in the southern Iranian city of Bandar Abbas in 2010 and arrested two passengers, including the leader of a Sunni rebel group. Iranian television proudly showed footage of the country's hooded commandos offloading the rebel leader, handcuffed, from the plane.
Sneak Peek Into ... Colombia
Coffee, conflict, cuisine and recent clashes might come to mind first when you think of South America's fourth-largest economy. But there's plenty else that makes Colombia special.
1. Coca, Not Cocaine
Yes, the country — ravaged by a long and brutal civil war — has long struggled with drug trafficking. Fabiola Piñacué is helping Colombia create a new identity using the same coca that also goes into making cocaine. She's relying on the spiritual and medicinal qualities of the plant as the founder of the country's first company to sell commercial coca-based products. Try her coca tea and you'll never need energy drinks again. Read more on OZY.
2. Generation Graffiti
A stunning street art revolution is turning the country's capital Bogotá into a mecca of graffiti. Since tagging was decriminalized in 2011, businesses have been commissioning artists to decorate their walls, creating an entire district of elaborate murals that can be seen throughout the capital city. Now Bogotá's tallest walls are covered with international artists, its streets a throbbing museum.
3. Never Say Never
Colombians don't say no. They're taught to deal with unpleasant situations instead of refusing them. That doesn't mean they'll agree to everything — just that you might receive an elaborate explanation instead of a flat-out refusal.
Great Education Documentaries
As schools head back to classroom teaching, check out what "normal" education looks like in different parts of the world with these brilliant documentaries that'll make you smile, cry and hope.
1. 'Subnormal'
Special education provides a safe space for those with remedial learning. But what happens when you're diagnosed incorrectly — and that's done intentionally and to a large number of students? Catch this revelatory documentary on the deep-seated racism that upended the lives of hundreds of Black children in 1960s and 1970s Britain.
2. 'Girl Rising'
They come from different countries — India, Egypt, Ethiopia, Peru, Nepal, Haiti, Afghanistan, Cambodia and Sierra Leone. But the nine girls you'll meet share much in common: in particular, seemingly insurmountable obstacles that they must overcome to get an education, and a hunger for schooling that won't be denied.
3. 'Please Vote for Me'
China and democracy might sound incongruous together, but that's precisely what makes this 2007 documentary on students in Wuhan electing a class representative particularly endearing. It'll remind you just how much democratic ideals carry a global appeal.

Estate of Famed Hollywood Photographer to be Offered in April at Bonhams & Butterfields in Los Angeles
Fine European furniture and decorative arts come to auction at Bonhams & Butterfields in Los Angeles on April 28, 2008. The 500-lot sale will offer an array of works for varied tastes and collecting levels, showcasing pieces from the 16th through the 20th centuries, and highlighted by property from the estate of famed Hollywood photographer Wallace Seawell.
Known by friends and admirers as a well-mannered man and a 'dapper dresser,' Seawell had a rapport with celebrities allowing him to capture intimate expressions and poses not accessible to a lesser photographer. His brilliant career spanned more than six decades, snapping portraits of such Hollywood greats and international figures as: Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, George Burns, Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood, Johnny Mathis, Diana Ross, Peggy Lee, former President Lyndon Johnson, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, the King and Queen of Siam, the "Queen of Comedy" Lucille Ball, the "Queen of Nice "Doris Day, among countless others.
Born in Atlanta in 1916, Seawell aspired to become a portrait painter. In 1937 he was awarded a scholarship to the Ringling School of Art and Design, a private college of professional visual arts and design located in Sarasota, Florida. It was during this time that Seawell discovered his passion for photography and transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology. Following his graduation (with honors in 1940), Seawell went to work for Eastman Fashion Studio in New York City, becoming the chief set designer and fashion photographer.
After World War II, Seawell moved to Los Angeles where he produced and designed training films for the Army Signal Corps. Following this, he joined the studio of celebrated West Coast photographer Paul Hesse.
Seawell then began taking photographs for movie studios and fan magazines, shooting Hollywood and recording stars. His reputation for being forthright and creating an atmosphere of comfort for his sitters made him a preferred shooter for the stars. He earned international acclaim shooting the portraits of former President Lyndon B. Johnson and royals.
Highlights from the Estate of Wallace Seawell include: a handsome pair of Continental Neoclassical-style carved giltwood console tables, circa 1900 (est. $5/8,000); an early 20th century Empire-style gilt bronze mounted mahogany center table, with a malachite veneered top (est. $3/5,000); a charming suite of Empire-style gilt bronze mounted mahogany seat furniture in Egyptian Revival taste (est. $5/8,000); a pair of enchanting Italian Baroque figural terms, 18th century and later (est. $5/8,000); a pair of 18th century Italian Baroque Parcel Gilt and faux blue marble Solomonic Columns on later stands (est. $3/5,000); and an Empire-style gilt bronze mounted mahogany 20th century suite of seat furniture, comprising armchairs, a pair of side chairs and a sofa (est. $5/8,000).
The illustrated auction catalog for the April 28, 2008 sale will be online at www.bonhams.com/us in the weeks preceding the sale and previews.

The rabid right wing: Rewriting history in real time
By DOUG THOMPSON
Featured, More News & Opinion, News
Mitt Romney: In fantasy land, he is a contender (Reutrs)
According to the denizens of the rabid right, the polls are all wrong and the election is controlled by a nefarious plot to cheat Mitt Romney out of an election he would win easily if things were on the up and up.
That's the message from the bowels of righteous right Republicanism these days.
"I believe if the election were held today, Romney would win by four or five points," Dick Morris claimed on Fox News last week. Morris predicted Romney would win Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
But don't polls show Romney trailing in all four states?
That's all part of the plot, Morris says.
"People need to understand that the polling this year is the worst it has ever been," he added.
Rush Limbaugh, whose relationship with reality is tenuous at best, says the polls are driven by the grand conspiracy.
Said Limbaugh to his listeners last week:
They are designed to do exactly what I have warned you to be vigilant about, and that is to depress you and suppress your vote. These two polls today are designed to convince everybody this election is over.
To bolster their fantasies, the Romney partisans flock to a laughable web site — unskewedpolls.com — which alters the final results of polls by adding more Republicans to the mix and giving the GOP candidate a mythical lead.
So Limbaugh cites the skewed polls as fact. So does Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the tea party favorite who flamed out in the GOP primary.
Then they use the Internet to spread their falsehoods as fact.
Professional pollsters tell Capitol Hill Blue that this strategy is insulting to those who poll for a living.
Republican polls Bill McInturff, a respected pro whose partner is Romney's pollster, says the number one job of any good pollster — Democrat or Republican — is to "get it right."
"It's the Prime Directive of pollster survivial," he adds.
Just another example of how the "Information Superhighway" is — in reality — just the "misinformation cowpath."
And that cowpath is littered with a lot of bullshit.

The funny thing… today's tracking poll at unskewed has Obama at 51% to Romney's 47. http://unskewedpolls.com/dtp_20121001.cfm Take that, left wing media!
I agree with Jon & Sandy….Even using their outrageous Jim Crow laws to suppress the votes from poor and older Americans, it seems the Rom and the Rom-zealots cannot get out ahead on this race. Wow! Even when using dirty tricks, they still cannot get an edge. What's with these people?
Quote of the week and I love it!!!: "Just another example of how the "Information Superhighway" is — in reality — just the "misinformation cowpath."" (left out the last sentence…it's redundant…because it's assumed that you'll step in a lot of @#$%* when walking such a path.)
When I got involved in politics I used to tell folks how lucky we were to live in a nation where voting would never be slanted and even our leaders worked for better registration and voting laws making it possible for everyone to get a ballot and bring it to the polling places or even mail it in.
The rabid right has tried to destroy the ease of registering and voting and I blame it on the control given by the Republican Party to the religious right. I look at many nations who have to vote for the party in charge or face a bullet until they do. The elections in South America have been a farce for years.
Today in America we have seen careful evaluations regarding certain districts in many States where the registration lists are being blacked out if those folks are Democrats. They target those areas that are heavily seniors, minorities or even where students live and vote.
I remember Florida in 2000 where the lists removed voters who had felony histories and the lists were horribly inaccurate. How many times did they have to count again until a win for Bush still wasn't assured. It took the Supreme Court to make the decision.
With the GOP on the war path in 2012. it will be interesting to see how this election will go.
Danny Adams
There was also the story that came out around 2003 about how the Diebold machines in one Florida county–I think Broward–registered -12,000 votes for Gore. That's a – as in negative. Diebold didn't even deny it; their spokesman simply said they didn't view it as a problem. (Of course they didn't.)
But of course the polls are wrong.
"… and suppress your vote". Sure, if you're a member of a poor minority, I guess that is what they are trying to do.

Doug Thompson published his first story and photo at age 11 -- a newspaper article about racism and the Klan in Prince Edward County, VA, in 1958. From that point on, he decided to become a newspaperman and did just that -- reporting news and taking photos full-time at his hometown paper, becoming the youngest full-time reporter at The Roanoke Times in Virginia in 1965 and spent most of the past 55+ years covering news around the country and the globe. After a short sabbatical as a political operative in Washington in the 1980s, he returned to the news profession in 1992. Today, he is a contract reporter/photojournalist for Lee Enterprises, shoot news and spots video for area TV stations, owns Capitol Hill Blue and other news websites.

#A stunning insight into the ISIS-Turkey oil trade. #Documents shedding light on the ISIS oil trade, jihadist passports with Turkish entry stamps, an instruction booklet – printed in Turkey – on how to wage war against the Syrian government, and more. #The areas surrounding Shaddadi has large natural oil reserves, and until recently, ISIS militants profited from it, forcing members of the local population to work in their oil industry. #Piles of detailed invoices used by ISIS to calculate daily revenues from selling oil were found on the site. #Local residents attested that intermediaries from Raqqa and Aleppo arrived to pick up the oil and often mentioned Turkey, while a captured ISIS recruit admitted on camera that the terrorist group sells oil to Turkey. #He and another foreign fighter from Saudi Arabia also revealed that it had been easy to cross the Turkish border.
National Intelligence Director James Clapper says Islamic State training camps currently exist in European countries and that terrorists are exploiting the migrant crisis in those countries to infiltrate the population. Clapper was asked by a reporter if the Islamic State had clandestine cells currently operating in countries including Germany and Italy. "Yes they do," he said, citing heightened coordination intelligence community of terrorists operation in Europe. "We continue to see evidence on the part of ISIL in the countries you name." Clapper made his remarks during a breakfast meeting with reporters in Washington D.C. hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. During the conversation, he shared what the intelligence community has learned about ISIS. "We've learned that they are fanatic, very operational security conscious their very mindful of that," he said. "They have taken advantage to some extent the migrant crisis in Europe. Something which the nations, I think, have a growing awareness of."… "On the one hand, the European Union incentives and drives to promote openness and free movement of people and goods, privacy, which is in some ways is in conflict with the responsibilities of each country as a nation state to protect the security of it's borders of it's people," Clapper said.
The overwhelming majority of the refugees who have been admitted are Muslim. Yet the real victims — the real refugees in Syria — are largely Christian. Obama has a clear preference for the Muslim refugees.
There is no way to vet these refugees. Records in many cases don't exist — and ISIS doesn't recruit people with criminal records.
ISIS has threatened to flood Europe with 500,000 refugees. To bring these people in is civilizational suicide.
Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. 80% of migrants who have recently come to Europe claiming to be fleeing the war in Syria aren't really from Syria at all.

Driving responsible & sustainable actions, making a positive contribution to society
Drink with your head
Beba com Cabeça
Associação Nacional de Bebidas Espirituosas
2008 > Ongoing
#AwarenessRaising
To promote responsible consumption of alcohol especially among the 18-40 age group.
To raise awareness of the alcohol unit as the best means to promote moderate and responsible consumption.
The website was launched 2008, and, was revamped in 2017 and 2020. It has the following sections:
What is in a spirit drink?: Contains information on ingredients, calories, alcohol content and production process.
Responsible drinking: Contains responsible drinking information such as what happens to alcohol in the body, recommended guidelines and when not to drink.
Consumption equation: Explains about standard drinks measurements and how different standard drinks contain the same amount of alcohol per serving.
Alcooladora: Is an app for adults of legal drinking age. The user enters information such gender, their weight and how many drinks they have add. The app crosses this data with a predefined drinks list then provides approximate blood alcohol levels, units, and calories. As well as being available on the drink with your head website it can be downloaded from the Google Store.
The website is promoted through posters and billboards, and, in the press and commercial communication by supporting companies. In December 2009 Express TV posted the campaign's promotional video on YouTube.
In 2017, the "A Noite É De Todos, Beba Com Cabeça" (Everyone's night, Drink with your head) in cooperation with Lisbon Municipality aimed at fighting public binge drinking on Streets. Every weekend during 2017, representatives met young people on the streets of Lisbon to share responsible drinking messages. Photos were taken and posted on the website's Facebook page to reach a wider audience.
In 2020, ANEBE challenged students from IADE - Faculty of Design, Technology and Communication at the European University to work on an application that would be used by young adults when they go out at night. The resulting Alcooladora application was developed by IADE University student Bruno Costa as part his final degree project Computer Engineering. The app was launched on 13 March 2020 at the Talkfest in Lisbon.
Portuguese Youth Institute
Wine companies such as FINAGRA
IADE - Creative University (2020)
Lisbon Municipality (2017)
2020: The app has been downloaded more than 1,000 times from the Google Store since March 2020. For the student, developing this application was a way of "gaining a lot of technical knowledge on Java-Android language", but also of "getting to know a lot about the functioning of our body and the effects of alcohol on it".
In 2017, 12,762 young people were in Lisbon reached and the posts on Facebook reached 24,139 people. In 2017, the site had 29,247 unique visitors. This figure is lower than previous years because the site was down for 2.5 months for revamping. Visits for previous years are 44,943 (2016), 27,000 (2015) and 24,000 (2014).
As of 1 June 2009, all ANEBE member companies display the logo and website address on all commercial communications.
Measurement & evaluation
Results of a study conducted in March 2009 (842 participants) shows that:
81.7% were unaware of how much a unit of alcohol was before visiting the website.
Most consumers drank one or two drinks on a night out and understood the meaning of "responsible behaviour".
89.9% said that they drank because they enjoyed it.
70.5% said that they did not like to see people drunk whilst socialising.
62.6% stated that having a drink was not necessary to enjoy an evening out, whilst 25.9% thought that drinking was a part of normal social behaviour.
53% disagreed with the misconception that there is "good and bad kinds of alcohol".
