R. Martakies: 'Their daily routine was simple. Schwitters rose early, worked from 8.30 am until 1 pm, and then set off with Edith into the countryside carrying a packed lunch and his beloved suitcase containing artist's materials.
He was very fond of Jerkyn's Crag, a viewpoint high above Windermere, and Tarn Hows, a beautyspot close to Coniston, which necessitated a short bus journey. In the evening he and Edith would return home, his suitcase full of found objects, a newly painted canvas strapped to his back."

The Untold History of the United States: World War Two
This series, narrated and written by Oliver Stone and co-author Peter Kuznick, will focus on human events that at the time went under reported, but crucially shaped America's unique and complex history over the 20th and 21st century. The series is a re-examination of some of the under-reported and darkest parts of American modern history using little known documents and newly uncovered archival material. The series looks beyond official versions of events to the deeper causes and implications and explores how events from the past still have resonant themes for the present day." The fist episode examines World War II. It offers special attention to the Spanish Civil War, Roosevelt's desire to enter the war on the side of the allies, the strategic Japanese decisions that lead up to Pearl Harbor Attack, and the often overlooked role that the Soviet Union had in winning the war.

He was the only defendant who unreservedly accepted responsibility for the Nazis' crimes. But was Speer's remorse genuine or just a clever defense strategy to get off the hook? The film tells the intriguing behind-the scenes-story of Speer's trial and his showdown with unrepentant rival, Hermann Goering.

Khmer Traditional Dance & Shadow Theater
Traditional Khmer dance is better described as 'dance-drama' it is not merely dance but also meant to convey a story or message. There are four main modern genres of traditional Khmer dance: 1) Classical Dance; 2) Shadow theater; 3) Lakhon Khol (all-male masked dance-drama.); 4) Folk Dance.
As evidenced in part by the innumerable apsaras (celestial dancers) adorning the walls of Angkorian temples, traditional dance has been part of Khmer culture for well more than a millennium. Yet there have been ruptures in the tradition over the centuries, making it almost impossible to precisely trace the source of the tradition. Though much modern traditional dance was inspired by Angkorian-era art and themes, the tradition has not been passed unbroken from the age of Angkor.
Most traditional dances performed today were developed in the 18th through 20th centuries, beginning in earnest with a mid-19th century revival championed by King Ang Duong. Subsequent Kings and other Khmer Royals also strongly supported the arts and dance, most particularly Queen Sisowath Kossamak Nearireach (former King Norodom Sihanouk's mother) in the mid-20th century, who not only fostered a resurgence in the development of Khmer traditional dance, but also helped move it out of the Palace and popularize it.
Many traditional dances including most Theatrical Folk Dances were developed and refined from the 1940s-60s under the patronage of Queen Kossamak at the Conservatory of Performing Arts and the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Queen Kossamak trained her granddaughter Princess Bopha Devi in traditional dance from early childhood, and she went on to become the face of Khmer traditional dance in the 1950s and 60s both in Cambodia and abroad. Like so much of Cambodian art and culture, traditional dance was almost lost under the brutal repression of the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970s, only to be revived and reconstructed in the 1980s and 90s due, in large part, to the extraordinary efforts of Princess Bopha Devi.
Classical dance, including the famous 'Apsara dance,' has a grounded, subtle, restrained, yet feather-light, ethereal appearance. Distinct in its ornate costuming, taut posture, arched back and feet, flexed fingers flexed, codified facial expressions, slow, close, deliberate but flowing movements, Classical dance is uniquely Khmer. It presents themes and stories inspired primarily by the Reamker (the Cambodian version of the Indian classic, the Ramayana) and by the Age of Angkor.
Folk Dance come in two forms: ceremonial and theatrical. As a general rule, only Theatrical Folk Dance is presented in public performances, with Ceremonial Folk Dances reserved for particular rituals, celebrations and holidays. Theatrical Folk Dances such as the popular Good Harvest Dance and the romantic Fishing Dance are usually adaptations of dances found in the countryside or inspired by rural life and practices. Most of the Theatrical Folk Dances were developed at RUFA in Phnom Penh in the 1960s as part of an effort to preserve and perpetuate Khmer culture and arts.
Shadow theatre comes in two forms: Sbeik Thom (big puppets that are actually panels depicting certain characters from the story) and Sbeik Toot (small articulated puppets). The black leather puppets are held in front of a light source, either in front or behind a screen, creating a shadow or silhouette effect. Sbeik Thom is the more uniquely Cambodian, more formal of the two types, restricting itself to stories from the Reamker. The performance is accompanied by a pin peat orchestra and narration, and the puppeteers are silent, moving the panels with dance-like movements. Sbeik Toot has a far lighter feel, presenting popular stories of heroes, adventures, love and battles, with or without orchestra and with the puppeteers often doing the narration.
Most dance performances in Siem Reap offer a mixture of Classical and Theatrical Folk dances. A few venues offer Shadow Theater. Many of the dance performances in Siem Reap consist of 4-6 individual dances, often opening with an Apsara Dance, followed by two other Classical dances and two or three Theatrical Folk dances.
The Apsara Dance is a Classical dance inspired by the apsara carvings and sculptures of Angkor and developed in the late 1940s by Queen Sisowath Kossamak. Her grand daughter and protégé, Princess Bopha Devi, was the first star of the Apsara Dance.
The central character of the dance, the apsara Mera, leads her coterie of apsaras through a flower garden where they partake of the beauty of the garden. The movements of the dance are distinctly Classical yet, as the dance was developed for theatrical presentation, it is shorter and a bit more relaxed and flowing than most Classical dances, making it both an excellent example of the movements, manner and spirit of Classical dance and at the same time particularly accessible to a modern audience unaccustomed to the style and stories of Khmer dance-drama.
Another extremely popular dance included in most traditional dance performances in Siem Reap is the Theatrical Folk Dance known as the 'Fishing Dance.' The Fishing Dance is a playful, energetic folk dance with a strong, easy-to-follow story line. It was developed in the 1960s at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh and was inspired by the developer's interpretation of idealized and stereotyped aspects aspects of rural life and young love.
The dance begins…Clad in rural attire, a group of young men and women fish with rattan baskets and scoops, dividing their attention between work and flirtatious glances. Women are portrayed as hardworking, shy, demurring and coy, whereas the young men are strong, unrestrained, roguish and assertive. As the dance continues a couple is separated from the group allowing the flirtations between them to intensify, only to be spoiled by the male character playing a bit too rough, leading to her coy rejection. He pokes and plays trying to win her back, bringing only further rejection. Eventually he gently apologizes on bended knee and after some effort, draws a smile and her attention once again. Just as they move together, the group returns, startling the couple and evoking embarrassment as they both rush to their 'proper' roles once again. The men and women exit at opposite sides of the stage, leaving the couple almost alone, but under pressure of the groups, they separate, leaving in opposite directions, yet with index finger placed to mouth, hint of a secret promise to meet again.
(In an interesting side note, placing one's index finger to the lips to denote quiet or secrecy is not, generally speaking, a gesture found in Cambodia, but is common in the West. Its employment in the dance probably indicates a certain amount of 'foreign influence' amongst the Cambodian choreographers when the dance was developed in the 1960s.

Starling flocks in Rome can be observed starting from middle to late November until the beginning of February to the beginning of March, depending on the weather and temperature during the winter. They aggregate at dusk while travelling from the country side surrounding Rome into the city to roost. Roosting sites are scattered throughout the city including Cimitero del Verano, Laghetto dell'EUR, Termini, and near Circo Massimo. Some of the most impressive and large aerial displays (see video below) can be seen in the first two listed locations.
Due to logistic issues, we have only been able to access two locations, Termini and EUR. In Termini, we setup our camera system on the roof of Palazzo Massimo overlooking the square occupied by the Termini bus stop. Flocks tend to arrive from the north and northeast. At EUR, we access the roof of the Poste Italiane building on Via Cristoforo Colombo. Currently, the stereoscopic setup consists of three IDT M5 cameras each with a maximum resolution of 2288 x 1728 and maximum frame rate of 170 frames per second. These cameras transfer images to a frame grabber housed in a dedicated PC via dual camera link connections. The buffer on the frame grabbers limits a single acquisition to be approximately 2700 frames or nearly 16 seconds at 170 fps. The cameras are controlled using a laptop with interfacing provided by VNC.
The baseline between two of the cameras is 25 m, with approximately 2 m separating the third camera and the middle camera. This is the key to our setup as it reduces the majority of error sources, with the dominant error being due to the segmentation error of the barycenter of an individual bird. More details about the setup and procedures for capturing images can be found here.

Lucy Hobbs Taylor
By Emma Van Dorn
Lucy Hobbs Taylor was born on March 14, 1833 in Constable, New York. She was the seventh child born to her parents, Lucy Beaman Hobbs and Benjamin Hobbs, who had ten children in total. Her mother died when she was ten years old and her father subsequently remarried his sister-in-law, who also died shortly thereafter. To help support her family, Taylor began working as a seamstress at the age of 12. She then attended the residential school Franklin Academy in Malone, New York, where she received her formal education. She graduated in 1849.
After graduating, Taylor moved to Brooklyn, Michigan, where she taught as a public school teacher for ten years. While working in this position, Taylor took an interest in physiology and anatomy, and convinced the town physician to give her lessons. He advised her to apply to the Eclectic College of Medicine in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she moved in 1859. Although they claimed to accept both women and men into their medical school, Taylor found out that her admission was denied on the basis of her gender. However, she was able to receive private tutoring from a professor at the Eclectic College of Medicine, who suggested that she switch her focus to dentistry. Taylor subsequently applied to the newly-established Ohio College of Dental Surgery, but was once again denied because she was a woman. She was able to persuade the dean of the college and founder of the American Dental Association, Jonathan Taft, to teach her privately for three months, before she became an apprentice to Dr. Samuel Wardle, a recent graduate of the dental college, in his private practice.
In March of 1861, after the completion of her apprenticeship, Taylor applied to the Ohio College of Dental Surgery for the second time, but was rejected once more because of her sex. Undiscouraged, she opened her own practice in Cincinnati, but found it difficult to attract patients due to the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1862, she moved to Bellevue, Iowa, followed by McGregor, Iowa, where she practiced dentistry for three years and earned an excellent reputation. On July 19, 1865, Taylor was admitted into the Iowa State Dental Society, becoming the first woman accepted, and was even sent as a delegate to the Chicago American Dental Association convention.
That year, Taylor decided to apply to the Ohio College of Dental Surgery for the third time, and was finally accepted, both because of her accomplishments thus far and the school's new policies to admit women. She enrolled as a senior due to her prior extensive knowledge and experience in the field. She studied for four months and completed a thesis in dental science. On February 21, 1866, Taylor graduated from the Ohio College of Dental Surgery and became the first woman in the world to ever graduate from dental school and to receive a doctorate in dentistry.
After graduating, Taylor moved to Chicago and began practicing there, where she was admitted into the Illinois State Dental Society. In 1867, she met and married Civil War veteran James Myrtle Taylor. She taught her husband about dentistry and they moved to Lawrence, Kansas, where they opened an extremely successful practice together until her husband's death in 1886. She then retired and focused her time on supporting charities and social causes. She concentrated on campaigning for women's rights and the women's suffrage movement, becoming an active member of the Republican Party. She reopened her practice in 1895 and continued to treat patients until she passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage on October 3, 1910, at the age of 77.
Dr. Lucy Hobbs Taylor paved the way for all female dentists. She was turned away numerous times solely due to the fact that she was a woman, but she never let herself be discouraged, and instead actively pursued every opportunity she could. In Taylor's honor, the prestigious Lucy Hobbs Taylor Award was established in 1983 by the American Association of Women Dentists, which is awarded annually to those who work to advance the role of women in dentistry.
Why Did I Choose to Research Lucy Hobbs Taylor?
I really admire Dr. Lucy Hobbs Taylor because I plan to become a dentist in the future. It is so inspiring to me that instead of giving up when she was told she could not attend dental school multiple times, Taylor chose to continue to educate herself and built a successful career for herself. I also feel a personal connection to Taylor because like me, she grew up in New York. In addition, my father is from Iowa, where she practiced dentistry, and my sister attends college in Ohio, where Taylor attended dental school.

If your stomach muscles is up to it, do not miss this year's national Big 5 Comedy Show supported by Comedy Central kicking off at the Teatro in Montecasino on Friday 26 July & Saturday 27 July.
Soak up the laughs when Stuart Taylor, John Vlismas, Schalk Bezuidenhout, Tats Nkonzo and Kurt Schoonraad take to the stage with plenty of fresh quips in their comedy arsenal.
After last year's sold-out shows, this year's edition promises to be another ground-breaker as Schalk and Tats join the line-up. No doubt these household names will add tang, spice and new angles to the Big 5 family.
Entrepreneur, comedian and founder of Taylor Made Productions, Stuart Taylor once again returns as host with an even mightier team of funny men and a new line-up of exceptional talent.
The man who is "Going Everywhere Quickly", Stuart is the ringmaster who has the experience and know-how to keep his audience knee-slapping with mirth while introducing each of the Big 5 acts.
A comic artist who has carved a fresh set of grooves on stage, Tats Nkonzo is a renowned treasure-chest of humour, who cleverly combines musical vibes and charming wit, both in South Africa and abroad.
The world is not enough for this talented artist who has won the Montreux Comedy Contest in Switzerland, back in 2014 and is currently a judge on the new global talent competition on CBS, 'The World's Best' along with the likes of Drew Barrymore, Faith Hill and RuPaul.
Schalk Bezuidenhout has become a comic-giant, having racked up several nominations and awards whilst storming on the domestic and international stage.
His quirky 'stache' and 'fro' complement a sharp tongue and a unique take on modern society. This performer truly is the epitome of young and smart comedy which represents the future of this industry.
An innovator and stalwart of the comedy scene, Kurt Schoonraad joins the team with his brilliant and witty jabs, all delivered with a distinct Cape Town flavour.
A long road of fame and success which includes numerous local and international performances, as well as several film appearances, has made his performances truly exceptional, so prepare for loads of belly-laughs when he takes to the stage.
One of the heavy weights of SA Comedy, John Vlismas needs little introduction after many years on the comic circuit. Thought-provoking in his approach, there are no sacred cows he leaves untouched to bring his audience a different perspective.
Get ready to rethink your opinions while laughing out loud with John's unique style which completes the line-up for this awesome show.

Denzel Valentine at the first Chicago Bulls press conference in June following the NBA Draft.
Before Monday night's NBA Summer League championship game against the Chicago Bulls in Las Vegas, guard Tyus Jones of the Minnesota Timberwolves was named the league's MVP. But rookie Denzel Valentine spoiled Jones' and the Timberwolves night with a game-winning buzzer-beater, bringing the title to Chicago.
After hitting a 3-pointer with .2 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 74, Valentine buried a turnaround jumper with the game tied at 82 in overtime and time expiring to give the Bulls the 84-82 win. Valentine finished the game with seven points on 3-of-10 shooting with eight rebounds and three assists.
The Summer League shoe of choice for the No. 14 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft isn't the only profound sneaker moment of Valentine's summer. The guard from Michigan State University wore the Air Jordan 12 "French Blue" to throw out the first pitch when the Chicago White Sox faced the Minnesota Twins on June 29.

MAAS Welcomes Andrew Hoad
MAAS Aviation strengthens management team and appoints Andrew Hoad to Non-Executive Director
Dublin: April 27th 2022: MAAS Aviation, recognised expert in aircraft painting, has enhanced its senior management team with the appointment of industry authority, Andrew Hoad to its board of directors. Hoad brings with him valuable airline technical and leadership experience in all aspects of aircraft maintenance and operation, having held senior leadership roles at Cathay Pacific Airways and Haeco in Hong Kong, and more recently completing 14 years at Emirates Airline in Dubai. Hoad also currently holds non-executive directorship positions at Aerfin Ltd and TP Aerospace. His role at MAAS Aviation will focus on operations, investment, strategy and airline engagement with an eye on contributing to the Company's international growth in both its OEM and MRO business divisions.
"Good track record and reputation, excellent product quality, and a management team with a 'can do' attitude backed by a very supportive investment group were all obvious attractions for me to join MAAS Aviation," says Hoad. "The leadership team is embarking on exciting future development plans, and it is a great opportunity to be a part of that journey."
Tim Macdougald, CEO – MAAS Aviation, believes that Hoad will bring a valuable balance of knowledge and ideas to the Board. "Having previously held senior technical positions in two prestigious airlines and two large MROs, each with their own in-house paint facilities, Andrew is very familiar with the technicalities of aircraft painting and understands the critical processes and the importance of meeting airlines' and leasing companies' expectation of performance and quality in regards to aircraft appearance."
Hoad observes that capitalising on some of the opportunities that will inevitably arise as the aviation sector exits the 'COVID era' will no doubt be a challenge. "We will be positioning the business to fully align with the rebound of both OEM and MRO driven business combined with identification and delivery of many other best-fit options to support the continued and structured expansion of the business. Continuing to create value for our customers will of course remain a priority even as we face the current strong headwind of global inflationary pressures."
Macdougald goes on to say, "We consider ourselves to be up there with the best in our industry. We operate well established processes and systems and in addition to delivering industry leading standards of performance in aircraft painting we also possess in-house expertise in paint shop design, project management, fitout & commissioning. We intend deploying these areas of expertise to deliver on an ambitious growth plan and COVID-19 has not dampened this ambition as we are currently exploring a variety of expansion opportunities with renowned partners to deliver world-class services across a wider global footprint.
"The continued growth of MAAS Aviation is a good news story and we anticipate that with Andrew's guidance and experience we can pursue our growth strategy with vigour. We will continue to invest in infrastructure, provided the investment can be supported by a credible business case."
"Airlines continue to place huge emphasis on differentiating themselves through use of innovative cabin interior products and by having an equally innovative high quality external livery applied to their aircraft" summarises Hoad. "Consequently, there is now, more than ever, great value assigned by OEM and airline customers to being able to source a top-quality aircraft paint finish applied in the shortest possible down time. This is something that MAAS' customer base of leading commercial short-haul airlines recognises only too well. Proximity to MRO facilities (as is the case at our Kaunas, Lithuania facility) make it a convenient, attractive, and cost-effective proposition for airlines and leasing companies to combine heavy maintenance and painting into one grounding at one location.
"Building and operating painting hangars that can efficiently and consistently deliver high-quality paint finishes requires a lot of specialist skill and knowledge, making the barrier to entry to this business type relatively high – MAAS Aviation has both the investors and the expertise – it's an unbeatable combination."
Richard Marston, Chief Commercial Officer at MAAS Aviation, speaks to MRO Management about their long-term partnership with Ryanair, in the November/December 2022 issue of the magazine. Read More »

The announcement was made late on Monday by Luu Dinh Phuc, Director General of the Press Authority under the Ministry of Information and Communication. In an article titled "Vietnamese President agrees on issuing Demonstration Law" published on June 19, the news site quoted President Tran Dai Quang as saying he agreed with the need for a Demonstration Law, and would report this to the National Assembly.

April 18, 2018 by thesun Leave a Comment
CORONATION Street's Bill Roache has fallen victim to a sick death hoax. This afternoon a fake news website claimed the 85-year-old had died and alleged his son, Linus, had confirmed the report in a statement. It wrongly published: "Son Linus Roache said in a statement that Bill died of heart failure on the night of Wednesday." However acting legend Bill, who plays Ken Barlow in the hit ITV soap, is alive and well. A representative told The Sun Online they would not be commenting on the "fake news". Bill returned to filming the ITV soap last month following the sad loss of his daughter Vanya. Vanya died aged 50 from liver failure on March 2.

He's now back filming again, much to the delight of his co-stars who warmly welcomed him back.

The CD available from Comunicación Positiva: Who does what where?
Tackling health care issues is also a matter of communication.
In many countries with weak social safety nets, people suffering from high-cost chronic illnesses are particularly marginalized.
People suffering from diseases such as cancer, renal failure, epilepsy, or HIV/AIDS bear the burden of extremely expensive medical treatments and are often ignored by health providers and policy makers.
The situation is made even more difficult for those with limited financial resources, who often have to choose between paying for their medications and putting food on the table.
Over the past few years, Comunicación Positiva, a Colombia-based WACC project partner and member, has been supporting people with high-cost illnesses to engage in advocacy using digital communication technologies.
Drawing on the framework of communication rights, the group's most recent project – supported by WACC – built the capacity of groups of patients in different parts of Colombia to use citizen journalism to advocate for the right to health.

City mulls decision to fund bicycle-pedestrian coordinator position
Kim St. Onge
WEBVTT TO BICYCLING AND PEDESTRIAN CONCERNS, RATHER THAN SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. IT'S HARD TO ARGUE. DES MOINES IS GROWING LIKE CRAZY, MEANING MORE CARS ON THE ROADS. >> DES MOINES DOES NEED BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE, MORE ON-STREET INFRASTRUCTURE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES. KIM: THAT'S THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND JARED MORFORD'S SUPPORT OF DES MOINES HIRING A FULL-TIME BICYCLE-PEDESTRIAN COORDINATOR. BUT THIS IS THE BIGGER REASON. >> PEOPLE ARE AFRAID FOR THEMSELVES AND YOU KNOW, FRIENDS THEY'VE LOST. KIM: JARED SAYS HIS GOOD FRIEND WADE FRANCK, WHO WAS KILLED LAST YEAR IN A HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT WHILE RIDING HIS BIKE, WOULD BE A HUGE FAN OF HIRING SOMEONE WHO ADVOCATES FOR CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. CITY OFFICIALS TELL ME SALARY FOR THE POSITION HAS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED, BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE, IT WOULD BE PAID FOR WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS >> I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD ROLE AND SEE WHERE IT GOES. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER EXPANDS OUR BIKING, WALKING. WHATEVER IT TAKES. KIM: THE COORDINATOR WOULD LIKELY FOCUS ON IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY TO TRAILS AND SAFETY FOR CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. >> I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY. I ONLY SEE THE NEED FOR THIS COORDINATION TO INCREASE OVER TIME. >> WE DO A LOT OF BIKING AROUND HERE WITH OUR KIDS AND JUST FOR FUN, SO IT COULD BE INTERESTING
A portion of Des Moines residents' city taxes next year could go toward paying for a full-time, bicycle-pedestrian coordinator, the city manager told KCCI. The city is still in the early stages of considering the position, but the goal is to have one person dedicated to bicyclist and pedestrian concerns rather than overseeing several departments. "Des Moines does need better infrastructure, more on-street infrastructure, protected bike lanes," said Jared Morford, of Des Moines Bicycle Collective. "People are afraid for themselves, and you know friends they've lost." Morford lost his friend, Gregary Wade Franck, last year in a hit-and-run accident while riding his bicycle. Franck would have been supportive of the new position that advocates for cyclists and pedestrians, Morford said. City officials said that salary has not been discussed for the position, but it would be funded by taxpayer dollars. "I think it would be a good role and see where it goes," said Joe Nguyen, who supports hiring a coordinator. "Whatever expands our biking, walking, whatever it takes." The coordinator would likely focus on improving accessibility to trails and safety for cyclists and pedestrians. "I don't see this going away," said Scott Sanders, city manager. "I only see the need for this coordination to increase over time." "We do a lot of biking around here with our kids just for fun," said Katie Nguyen, who also supports hiring a coordinator. "It could be interesting to see what kind of traction that role would be able to build." If the city were to add the position, it wouldn't go into effect until fiscal year 2018, which starts in July. Public meetings are expected to be held in January and February before the city makes a final decision.
A portion of Des Moines residents' city taxes next year could go toward paying for a full-time, bicycle-pedestrian coordinator, the city manager told KCCI.
The city is still in the early stages of considering the position, but the goal is to have one person dedicated to bicyclist and pedestrian concerns rather than overseeing several departments.
"Des Moines does need better infrastructure, more on-street infrastructure, protected bike lanes," said Jared Morford, of Des Moines Bicycle Collective. "People are afraid for themselves, and you know friends they've lost."
Morford lost his friend, Gregary Wade Franck, last year in a hit-and-run accident while riding his bicycle.
Franck would have been supportive of the new position that advocates for cyclists and pedestrians, Morford said.
City officials said that salary has not been discussed for the position, but it would be funded by taxpayer dollars.

This is where things like Mythic Game Master Emulator come into play. I found this book a few years ago and have skimmed it from time to time, but lately I started giving it more attention. It is a great book as the system it provides for answering a yes/no question and running a whole adventure is richly designed. It has ways to have your adventure get turned on its head in interesting ways, and that is something some GMs lack.
I remember the original SimCity had an option for setting to send disasters into your city upon command as well as the random times it sends one. The idea, I feel, was to allow you to shake things up, keep it from getting too repetative as you played onward. Its the same with roleplaying where you can keep doing status quo and not rocking the boat but unless something interesting happens, you may as well just do the things in real life.
That is where the Mythic GM Emulator allows you to go. Come up with a dice roll, follow its ideas with the first story that jumps into your head, and occasionally that will be weird and wacky. Of course, the mechanics of how it does this on a scene level and campaign level is pretty ingenious, and has a simplistic notating system that makes it easy to incorporate into a GM's toolbox.
If you are a GM who wants to take a little work away from yourself for designing complex adventures and scenes, or just want something to give you a little bonus from time to time when you have questions, check it out. Give it a read, seeing what is of use to you from it, as I think most people may find at least some nuggets they can use.

Q: What does "SELECT X=[column] FROM [table] exactly does"? I wanted to set a variable in SQL by
SELECT @myVariable=myColumn FROM myTable WHERE ...

But by mistake I wrote it without @
SELECT myVariable=myColumn FROM myTable WHERE ...

It seems that it is valid, there isn't any error in syntax, although variable of course isn't set.
So what does such instruction exactly do?

A: This sets myVariable as an alias for myColumnn.  It's essentially the same as:
Select  MyColumn As MyVariable
From    MyTable
Where   ...

A: You're right that it is valid syntax and it names the output column as myVariable and populates the column with the content of myColumn.

Philippine Web3 Festival: With blockchain and metaverse, PH looks to become technological trendsetter
It's been a busy year for the world of blockchain as activity continues to pick up in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. And this week is turning out to be extra busy as the Philippine Web3 Festival gets underway.
Organizers launched the week-long event with a press conference at the SEDA Hotel in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. Among the speakers were BlockChainSpace Founder & CEO Peter Ing, Yield Guild Games (YGG) Co-Founder Gabby Dizon, and Nas Company Founder & CEO Nuseir Yassin.

— ED3N (@eden_holdings) November 14, 2022
The festival aims to boost the adoption of Web 3.0 and blockchain technology in the Philippines through talks from local and international speakers.
"We're bringing the rest of the world to the Philippines to show that In Web 3.0, we're actually leading the way in helping define innovation in this technological trend," Dizon said. He explained that while the country usually only follows technological trends, now is the chance to help set them.
"Now that the communities are there and that so many people are educated in the Philippines, you're actually starting to see a lot of projects come out," Ing said. "You're starting to see a lot of the talents suddenly emerge."
The rise of "Metaverse Filipino Workers"?
For Ing and Dizon, the acceleration of blockchain adoption in the country in the past two years can be attributed to gaming. In fact, they assert that the Philippines is the real birthplace of play-to-earn and blockchain gaming.
During his talk, Dizon explained that many Filipinos lost their jobs during the pandemic and started playing games online to earn a living. He added that he founded YGG in 2020 to start supporting people and communities that want to earn income in the metaverse—many of whom come from the country's rural provinces.
Their progress within the industry proved one thing: that it is possible for Filipinos to find success without having to go into Metro Manila or any major city. This then led to the creation of a new concept: the so-called MFW or "Metaverse Filipino Worker".
According to the organizers, the Philippines is known for exporting talent around the world. But with the metaverse comes another option, allowing Filipinos to earn through gaming or to provide other services without being physically separate from their families. More than that, technology is making it possible for people to own a piece of the virtual economy that they are participating in.
With the basic infrastructure of the metaverse in place thanks to blockchain, industry leaders are faced with the challenge of building even more infrastructure and making sure that people receive the education they need to understand and appreciate the power of the technology.
'I hate crypto, but…'
As a prominent social media personality who has millions of followers around the world, Nuseir Yassin knows a thing or two about connecting with a large audience. He rose to fame producing over 1,000 one-minute-long videos daily, and he has since moved on to creating his own company, including an innovative online academy.
Fueled by his advocacy for education, Yassin joined the Philippine Web3 Festival aiming to boost awareness on the industry.
"You cannot love what you don't know," Yassin explained at the press conference. "You cannot love crypto unless you know what crypto is. So that's why education is the first step."
The Nas Company CEO admits, he understands why most people do not like crypto.
"I'll be the first to say it: I hate crypto. I hate it. I hate losing money in crypto. I hate hash rates, I hate blocks, I hate everything about blockchain. It's boring as hell, and I'm sure you think the same. And I'm sure a lot of people think the same," he said.
However, Yassin then went on to say that he does love what the industry stands for. One of those is the idea that everybody can own part of the internet. The second is the idea that anyone can become successful without being forced to move somewhere else just to find work.
"The third version of the internet is finally allowing us to do that."
A new, inclusive, digital economy
So what exactly does the metaverse mean for the people behind the Philippine Web3 Festival?
During the question-and-answer segment of the press conference, the organizers were asked about their opinion on the competition between different blockchains and what, for them, is the definition of "metaverse".
In reply, the YGG Co-Founder said that the question is probably as hard to answer as trying to define what exactly the internet is. "I think metaverse is having virtual economies that people can participate in that have actual value," Dizon said.
Meanwhile, Ing acknowledged the existence of political divides between certain sectors of the blockchain world. However, he believes that it is possible even for competing chains to co-exist in the metaverse.
"Web 3.0 is actually a very inclusive movement," Ing said. "The different chains that you talk about, they're providing the infrastructure for everyone to participate in this new digital economy."
The Philippine Web3 Festival runs until November 20, with talks from thought leaders scheduled until Thursday and various side events scheduled until Sunday.

You know what's REALLY fun? Splatter painting!
Remember the canvas I made in the Splatter Room at Creativation? It was so much fun! Making a Splatter Paint T-Shirt is just as entertaining, with the bonus that you can wear it when you're done. This is a great project to do just for fun or to pair with a study of artist Jackson Pollock.
Put on an apron or old clothes. You won't necessarily get paint on yourself, but better safe than sorry.
Spread the t-shirt out on the lawn that needs mowing.
Pour a little bit of paint into the container.
Dip the brush into the paint, step back, and fling the paint toward the shirt as it you were throwing a ball overhand. Most, if not all, of the paint should land on the shirt. If it doesn't, adjust where you are standing.
Continue flinging paint toward the shirt until there is an even coating of splatters.
Pour the second color of paint into the container. Using the same brush, dip into the paint and start flinging.
Continue this with the remaining colors. There is no need to wash or change the brush between colors.
When you are happy with the amount of paint on the shirt, leave it to dry in the sun. When it is dry, turn it over and repeat the process on the back if you want that side painted too.
Bring the dry shirt indoors, hang it up, and let it dry completely overnight.
If you don't go too crazy with flinging, there won't be too much paint on the grass. But if there is, no worries. The lawn needed to be mowed anyway!
Such a fun project! I think kids would love this!Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Home PoliticsCommentary In reality they're not after me, they're after you. I'm just in the way. – Trump
In reality they're not after me, they're after you. I'm just in the way. – Trump
by Joseph Ragonese Jan 9, 2021
written by Joseph Ragonese Jan 9, 2021
On December 19, 2019, amid the rush to Impeachment, President Trump tweeted an ominous warning, 'They're Not After Me, They're After You, I'm just in the way." This week that warning came to fruition. While most professional politicians and most MSM journalists are busy trying to destroy Trump's image, they are also trying to crush the MAGA movement that he championed.
For most reading this that means you.
What the political class fears most is a population they do not control.
That is why gun control is at the top of Democrats' agenda. It is also why many Republicans go along with those unconstitutional bills that make criminals out of law-abiding citizens. Professional politicians do not care about you and me, they only care about their political class and their money masters.
That is why for the last four years they crucified President Trump and all of his supporters. Trump is an outsider who bucked the system we call the deep state. He also empowered the populist MAGA movement.
Today we see exactly who were true believers and who were the pretenders.
Like Lindsay Graham, who only hours after the storming of the Capitol stated in a press release that "We have to get safely past the next 15 or so days until we swear in Joe Biden." This from the man who rode Trump's coattails to a victory he didn't deserve.
Turncoats, like Secretary of Education, Betsy Devos, Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, now an envoy to Ireland, Matthew Pottinger, Deputy National Security Adviser, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, and Stephanie Grisham, the First Lady's Chief of Staff, among other rats jumping ship.
The political class has shown their stripes, on both sides of the aisle.
At the same time, big tech has drawn the line on what content we will be allowed to know. And it isn't the side of liberty and justice for all.
Google and Apple are threatening to shut down Parler unless they implement draconian rules that only allow for 'approved' content. The same rules already exist on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The rules that allow any left-wing radicalism and stop all conservative ideology. All three have already shut down President Trump permanently. (Big Tech, Facebook, Google and Twitter, bans President Trump who is moving to Parler)
Those same rules have shut out this writer and Jeanne McKinney because of our articles at CDN. Google, through control of advertising, has made it almost impossible for conservative websites, like CDN and many others, to fund themselves to keep publishing.
The war on our liberty and freedom is in full attack mode.
Our internet freedoms will look like those in China by year's end unless something drastic happens soon. When the government controls the media, the only information you will know is what they say it is.
And we already know what they have to say about conservatives. Freedom of religion, speech, and of the press is our first freedoms, endowed by our maker, not granted by the government. But this government is actively trying to shut down all three, religion, speech, and the press.
And having total control of the government, starting with the presidency, and both chambers of Congress, there is only the courts to stop them. However, control of the Senate means that they can pack as many far-left radical justices on the Supreme Court as they like. There is no stopping them for the next two years, at least. So, the courts are also in jeopardy of falling to the socialist.
This is playing out like some unbelievable work of fiction.
Yet it has already begun as they shut down churches under COVID rules, inhibiting conservative speech and press.
We are all but helpless to stop it unless we organize into a new political party, complete with leaders who will be willing to put their name, reputation, family, wealth, house, and even their freedom on the line. As President Trump did four years ago.
The left is out to destroy President Trump. They want to bankrupt him and toss him in jail as a warning to anyone else who would even think about defying the political class again. We already see what they can do, as the saga of General Michael Flynn is a cautionary tale to anyone who would seek the leadership of the MAGA cause.
Unless leadership is found, this populist movement of liberty and freedom is doomed to failure.
It doesn't need national leadership, at least not now, but it does need local leaders to coordinate activities, like confronting those politicians who defy the will of the people.
Just as it happened with the Tea Party movement, citizens must confront politicians who do not vote as they promised when running for office. But before this new party of American patriots is destroyed, again like the Tea Party, it needs national leaders willing to take on the D.C. power structure.
While a new party may be a daunting task, it needs to begin now.
Before the spark of freedom, ignited by President Trump, grows dim and fades into a memory. Because if we do not act now freedom will only be a memory. Something our grandchildren will never have known. The rush to a socialist America has begun. But we can, and will, stop it. (What the Daughters and Sons of Liberty can do to help America)
Freedom isn't free. The time to pay the price of freedom has come. Not by force of arms nor by violent means, that's what our enemies do. We will not stoop to their level. We will maintain the high ground and defeat them through hard work and diligent effort.
The force of the truth will liberate us, even if we have to tack posters and letters to trees. The voice of liberty will be heard. The time to act is now. Let your voice be heard across this land.

Creator God, rebuild every good thing that has been destroyed. Teacher, call to us and draw us into Your story. Make us active players in Your narrative and in this community. Clear our eyes to see those who are not safe. Tear down the walls so that we can reach out to those living in the margins. Unbind us from fear so that we can be Your hands and feet. Meet us where our condemnation and our limitations collapse. Meet us.
You invited us to Your table by taking the lowest place in ours. You humbled Yourself and gave Your life so that we could live. Give us the courage to receive the Holy Gospel and make us alive. Begin the healing now so that we can be the Church that invites all and sees all. Let us not leave this place as we came, but with changed hearts and minds that have seen and experienced the risen Lord. Let us be the Church again. Let us be the Church.

Home Christian news Palestinian leaders telling children that Israelis and US behind death of Arafat

Yasser Arafat in his final days
By Brandon Montes
Palestinian officials have been indoctrinating children with a malicious falsehood, that former President Yasser Arafat died of poison administered by Israelis, with the complicity of the United States.
In 2004 Arafat became ill, fell into a coma, and died on November 11, 2004 at age 75. Muslim news accounts alleged foul play, but independent investigations by the French and Russians found no grounds for such accusations.
The latest round of fabrications on Palestinian television appear aimed at inspiring a new generation of young people to participate in suicide bombings and prolong the bloody conflict against Israel.
The baseless accusations constitute a strategy to demonize the Israelis and continually arouse Palestinian bloodlust.
"They killed Yasser Arafat, because until his final breath he defended the children of his people in war and in peace, diplomatically and also with a rifle, with a weapon," announced the Palestinian Authority television channel on Nov. 11, according to Palestinian Media Watch.
The carnage of a Palestinian suicide bomber.
Yasser Arafat resorted to all means, legitimate and illegitimate, to drive Israelis out of the the Holy Land.
A young boy responded on the TV show with a famous Arafat chant: "In spirit and blood we will redeem you Al-Aqsa! In spirit and blood we will redeem you Al-Aqsa! Millions of Martyrs are marching towards Jerusalem! Millions of Martyrs are marching towards Jerusalem!"
Stoking the flames of jingoism, the host urged martyrdom (suicide attacks) with grim resolve: "We will follow Yasser Arafat's path."
A day earlier, Abbas Zaki, a member of the Fatah Central Committee which governs the West Bank, said "the US and Israel are the main suspects in the assassination of Arafat, in addition to a 'treacherous' hand that is suspected in the crime."
He alleged that the US and Israeli governments have frustrated attempts to determine the cause of death, which he attributed to polonium-210 poisoning through the ear.
On Nov. 15, Fatah Advisory Council member Ahmed Abd Al-Rahman went so far as to make up a supposed conversation between the former Israeli Prime Minister Sharon and then U.S. President George Bush, without saying where he obtained the information.
"Sharon said to Bush: 'My brother, let us get rid of him and kill him.' [He was talking] about Arafat. [Bush] told him: 'Leave it to God.' Sharon responded to him: 'But God needs helpers on earth.""
The accusations are nothing new, but this year Fatah leaders accused Israel of plotting to kill the current Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas as well, as reported by PMW.
These irresponsible accusations and demagoguery continue to frustrate any attempts to bring peace in the Middle East, possibly until Jesus returns.
