Exhibition Ended
Constable & McTaggart: A Meeting of Two Masterpieces
From Sat 8 Apr 2017 - Sun 25 Mar 2018
This exhibition has now ended!
"The Scottish National Gallery's pairing of two masterpieces – a 'new' Constable and McTaggart's The Storm – is inspired and impressive"
The Scotsman
One of the greatest masterpieces of British art, Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows (1831) is one of a monumental series of 'six-footer' canvases painted by John Constable and was considered by the artist to convey 'the fullest impression of the compass of his art'.
Painted in the aftermath of the death of the artist's beloved wife Maria, this turbulent landscape is the most visually spectacular of all the 'six-footers' and the one of which he was most proud, referring to it as 'The Great Salisbury'.
Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows (1831) was shown in dialogue with one of the most powerful and celebrated of all Scottish landscape paintings: William McTaggart's The Storm (1890). Constable's work was a source of profound inspiration for William McTaggart throughout much of his career, both on an artistic and personal level, and the display will explore the transformative influence of his artistic practice and technique on the 'Father of Scottish Painting'.

Constable's extraordinary landscape was secured by Tate for the British public in 2013 with assistance from the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Manton Foundation, the Art Fund (with a contribution from the Wolfson Foundation) and Tate Members. The painting comes to Edinburgh through the Aspire programme, a ground-breaking partnership of five UK museums and galleries: Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales, Colchester and Ipswich Museums Service, National Galleries of Scotland, The Salisbury Museum and Tate Britain.

Spread the word: American Idol heartthrob Rayvon Owen is coming to Richmond this weekend.
On Friday, June 12, the 23-year-old Henrico County native is scheduled to sing the national anthem at ECPI University's graduation ceremony. It is scheduled to start 1 p.m. at the Siegel Center at 1200 W. Broad St.
Rayvon, who graduated from Henrico High School's Center for the Arts, also will deliver brief remarks to the more than 250 ECPI graduates.
ECPI is not putting a restriction on those who would like to attend, Ron Tracey, president of the ECPI Richmond/Moorefield campus, told the Free Press.
"I'm sure he is going to tell the graduates that if they work hard, they will be able to achieve their dreams like he has," said Mr. Tracey, who first invited Rayvon via email after his incredible American Idol run to the final four that ended in early May.
On Saturday, June 13, Rayvon is scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball game at 6:05 p.m. The Squirrels will take on the Erie (Pa.) SeaWolves at The Diamond, 3001 N. Boulevard.
Rayvon also will hold a meet and greet with fans from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Autograph Hut, then sing "God Bless America" prior to the 7th-inning stretch.
Details: squirrelsbaseball.com or (804) 359-3866.
Todd "Parney" Parnell, the Squirrels' vice president and chief operating officer, said the rising music star's visit to The Diamond is important because "we, as the local baseball team, can celebrate his great success and encourage him for his very bright future."
Rayvon captured the hearts of fans in Richmond and across the nation with his smooth, soulful singing, his mile-wide smile and his classy persona, before he was eliminated from American Idol.
Since then, Rayvon has spent time relaxing with friends in his new hometown of Los Angeles, his mother, Patrice Fitzgerald, told the Free Press.
He also returned to Richmond June 4 to participate in a fundraising event for the Richmond-based FeedMore hunger relief organization at a Puritan Cleaners in Henrico County.
Rayvon will make another Richmond appearance when he and the other top five finalists perform in concert Tuesday, July 21. That's when the American Idol Live! Tour makes a stop at the Carpenter Theatre at Richmond CenterStage in Downtown. Tickets range from $49 to $59.

IVCA Feature: Techstars Chicago to Facilitate a Hybrid Program for 2022
By IVCA Admin | March 30, 2022
March 30, 2022Last week (March 23rd) applications closed for the 2022 Techstars Chicago, the process that determines its "Class" of companies for the the new accelerator program year. The mentoring and program was done in person pre-pandemic, but as many organizations have evolved through the era, Techstars will have in-person requirements at the beginning and end of the accelerator, with the rest of time allowing companies or potential start-ups to work remotely or through co-working settings.
Techstars Chicago is an annual mentorship course that allows those entrepreneurs, start-ups and companies to participate in a 13 week forum that teaches them how to improve and execute their business ideas. It culminates on Demo Day, an opportunity for the participants to pitch their businesses to interested investors based on what they've learned. In 2022, the program is scheduled to begin on June 6th, and culminate on September 1st, the date for Demo Day.
Techstars is based in Boulder, Colorado, and has a global footprint. The Chicago branch began locally as Excelerate Labs – which was the brainchild of Sandbox Industries, the I2A Fund, Sam Yagan (OK Cupid, Sparknotes) and Troy Henikoff – before it merged with Techstars in 2013. Troy Henikoff was the primary Managing Director until Logan LaHive took the reins in 2017. The current Managing Director is Neal Salés-Griffin, an associate in Venture Capital and a Chicago founder, who began in July of 2019, and has guided the program through the pandemic era.

We use the terms leaders and mentors interchangeably to refer to adult volunteers who are concerned enough about kids to go to them, on their turf, and in their culture. They listen to their stories and learn what's important to them because they genuinely care about their joys, triumphs, heartaches, and setbacks. They love kids right where they are in life and become a trusted friend who models Christ's unconditional love.
Kids' lives are dramatically impacted when these adults come alongside them and share God's love. And because their leaders believe in them, they begin to see that their lives have great worth, meaning, and purpose.

It's cloudy outside. The world is delineated in every detail. Every little shadow and line is accented sharply by the ominous thunder rumbling across the belly of the sky. The bits of color in the flowers reach but cannot leave much of a mark on the pervading gloom. The inside of the house is warm and well-lit, peaceful and serene. The laughter of carefree children echoes down through the centuries of its wooden frame. Hospitable, smelling of a home-cooked meal, one gazes through the glowing panes of glass and can only conjure memories of rustling skirts covered by wide aprons, full-chested mothers sweeping and elbow-deep in dough, scolding their children and wiping away their tears. The house now stands abandoned and empty, only dust and cobwebs covering the windows. Long ago and far away, I recognized the nostalgia of the times that came before as I look down the neon street, the first drops starting to hurtle down from the dark heavens above.

'Strategic fit' with Bristol-Myers kept Celgene from casting wider net in deal negotiations
Getty and BioPharma Dive
Ned Pagliarulo @NedPagliarulo
Celgene approached only one other pharmaceutical company about the possibility of a deal as it negotiated an acquisition by Bristol-Myers Squibb, ultimately deciding against further outreach to potential buyers after the CEO of that unnamed drugmaker signaled no offer was forthcoming.
Executives at Celgene judged that drugmaker to be the only company with sufficient scale and a product portfolio similarly complementary to its own as Bristol-Myers' was, and expressed concerns that contacting further companies risked a damaging news leak.
Details of Bristol-Myers and Celgene's discussions over what eventually became one of the pharma industry's largest buyouts ever were revealed in a proxy statement filed by Bristol-Myers on Friday. The document shows Bristol-Myers made five offers to buy Celgene over the course of three months of intense discussions.
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Celgene first broached discussions of a potential "merger of equals" in early 2017, briefly entering into a confidentiality agreement before calling off further negotiations.
Over the next year, the fortunes of both drugmakers soured. R&D setbacks and cuts to sales forecasts eroded confidence in Celgene, while Bristol-Myers Squibb saw its commercial advantage in immuno-oncology disappear as Merck & Co. notched a string of important clinical successes for its rival drug Keytruda (pembrolizumab).
By early fall of 2018, Bristol-Myers's board of directors returned to the idea of a Celgene buyout, directing CEO Giovanni Caforio to meet with Celgene chief Mark Alles with an acquisition offer in mid September.
In the next three months, the two companies negotiated intensely over what would constitute fair value for Celgene, with Bristol-Myers driving a hard bargain, a proxy statement filed Feb. 1 shows.
Bristol-Myers initially offered to buy Celgene for $110 per share, with roughly $35 of that offer in cash and the rest in equity. The pharma made four more offers between Sept. 21 and Dec. 30, but Bristol-Myers' sliding share price kept the face value of the deal from rising significantly.
Ned Pagliarulo / BioPharma Dive, market data and proxy statements
In mid-December, after considering three offers from Bristol-Myers, Celgene decided to approach the only other drugmaker that "potentially would have a strategic fit with Celgene that was as strong as that between Celgene and Bristol-Myers Squibb," the document said.
While that company is unnamed, Wall Street analysts noted few companies that would meet that description, identifying in investor notes Merck & Co, Pfizer and AbbVie as possibilities.
But a lack of interest from that company sent Celgene back to Bristol-Myers, which informed Celgene its previous offer was no longer on the table. The pharma proposed a deal with a lower cash component and a contingent value right (CVR) arrangement that would pay Celgene shareholders more money upon approvals of several key experimental Celgene drugs.
Further discussions between Christmas and New Year's Day solidified the deal to its final $74 billion form, in which Bristol-Myers would pay $50 in cash and one Bristol-Myers share per Celgene share, along with a CVR worth $9 per Celgene share.
Disclosure of these negotiation details support the view of Wall Street analysts who saw as unlikely widespread interest from other companies in a major acquisition of either Celgene or Bristol-Myers.
"With no other parties involved in the negotiations for [Celgene], coupled with recent commentary from other large-caps indicating low interest in large acquisitions, we believe the appetite for, and likelihood of, additional biopharma mega-mergers is low," wrote RBC analyst Brian Abrahams in a Feb. 1 note to investors, arguing the deal appears to be a "one-off."
And while Celgene's buyout and other recent takeovers by GlaxoSmithKline and Eli Lilly have fueled hopes of a major year for industry M&A, dealmaking is not guaranteed to remain at high levels — as past years have shown.
Bristol-Myers and Celgene anticipate closing their deal by the third quarter of this year. Whether the buyout lives up to expectations won't be clear for some time, but its likelihood of coming to pass appears more certain.

Linked in/Neat stuff: What they're saying about 'the skull'/Dennis Kunkle's hobby
This then-and-now look at White Hall Hotel/National House/Holy Hound shows the change from what artist William Wagner saw in 1830 to today. After this York, Pa., Daily Record 'Picturing History' scene appeared on Facebook York C0unty architect Richard Bono gave a bit of helpful color commentary about this York, Pa., landmark: 'I designed the renovation of this building in 1984… . This indeed is the older front facade. Though the original was not as long, and did not have as many side porches as shown. The building today was designed to the circa 1860 'period of significance,' just before the Civil War. It was done from a photographic plate still in existence. I designed the cut out balusters from that photo, enlarged. The same is true with the 'lantern' (cupola) at the apex of the front roof. The porches (or galleries), I speculated at the time, were an early attempt at making the hotel more comfortable… early air conditioning, if you like.' This old building was about a decade old when Martin Van Buren (1839) and Charles Dickens (1842) walked through its doors. (Wagner art courtesy of York County Heritage Trust).

Agreement on a holistic approach to providing services for migrants was one of the outcomes of a meeting convened by the Pan-Caribbean Partnership against HIV and AIDS (PANCAP) in Trinidad and Tobago.
The meeting on 11 April 2019, in Port-of-Spain, was aimed at providing guidance on the implementation of the Regional Framework on Migrant Health and Rights . Its purpose was to facilitate input from regional stakeholders to finalise a guidance document on how to implement the Framework on Migrant Health and Rights within their country context.
The holistic approach to providing services for migrants including social services through an intersectoral strategy was one of the key outcomes.
Participants were exposed to country presentations from Guyana and the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Those presentations provided details of the situation and response to Venezuelan migrants, as well as experiences from Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, The Bahamas and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The experiences illustrated the need for the implementation of the Framework to ensure consistent access to health by migrants.
Participants called for research into the financial and human resource capacity that is essential to provide holistic health services for migrants. The meeting noted the urgent need for strategic information for decision-making on the type of services that are necessary for migrants. It was also recommended that countries research the requirements for a minimum package of services for migrants.
Mr. Dereck Springer, Director of PANCAP, committed to PANCAP's continuing high-level engagements with policymakers, including Ministers of Health and Finance and the CARICOM Secretariat to advocate for access to health by migrants as a public health priority.
The Director said that PANCAP would follow-up with countries on the implementation of the Migrant Framework through the PANCAP Justice for All Programme and the PANCAP Policy and Strategy Working Group on Stigma and Discrimination.
The PANCAP Director concluded the meeting with a challenge for participants to advocate at the country-level for an intersectoral holistic approach to providing services for migrants which would incorporate their social and psychological needs. He noted that the draft guidance on the implementation of the framework proposed by participants is not prescriptive and could be adapted based on the requirements of each territory.
The Framework is rationalised with the vision of regionalism under the CSME and sets out guiding principles and recommended strategies for regional and national action. The Protocol on Contingent Rights was adopted and opened for signature at the 39th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community held in Montego Bay, Jamaica on 4-6 July 2018. Member States which are participating in the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) have all signed on to the Protocol on Contingent Rights and most of them are prepared to immediately begin provisional application of the Protocol. The Protocol grants rights to CARICOM nationals exercising the right of establishment, provision of services, movement of capital or free movement of skills. Spouses and immediate dependents are also entitled to enjoy these rights.

Podcast: Targeting epigenetics to treat cancer
Transcription in eukaryotic cells is a tightly regulated process, which depends on the spatial and transient formation of non-covalent protein complexes mediated by post-translational modifications, such as lysine acetylation. Members of the bromo and extra-terminal (BET) family play key roles in this assembly process. BET family members belong to the family of bromodomains the only known protein recognition module that selectively recognizes and binds ε-N-acetylated lysine (Kac). Dysfunction of the transcription elongation process leads to the development of aggressive cancers and disease. The specific substrates, links to cellular signalling and mode of action of these modular domains remain elusive; however their dysfunction has been linked to disease. They have been identified as oncogenic fusions in aggressive carcinomas; drive the expression of oncogenes such a c-Myc and play essential roles in viral recruitment and viral genome segregation. Importantly, we and others have demonstrated that it is possible to inhibit their function by targeting their mechanism of action resulting in dramatic effects in disease, leading to potential therapies. This novel targeting mechanism based on the inhibition of protein interactions initiated by reader domains of chromatin modifications needs to be further explored in order to understand and explain transcription initiation.
We aim to address the structural and functional role of BET bromodomains in transcription initiation and the implications of dysfunctional BET bromodomains in disease. For instance BETs are found fused to the NUT (nuclear protein in testis) protein driving the growth of a rare subtype of squamous cell carcinoma or they are associated to viral oncoproteins. We employ high throughput structural biology techniques in order to study BET bromodomains, seeking to establish an interaction map with their substrates, understand the molecular details of substrate interactions, explain synergy between multiple BET bromodomain modules, explore the molecular and structural basis for the recruitment of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) by BET proteins to chromatin, structurally characterize their oncogenic fusions to NUT and probe the molecular and structural basis of their interactions with viral oncoproteins.

Q: Where should I call socket.on in react? Currently I m using socket.on in constructor. But I cannot use setState there. So which life cycle should I use to call socket.on ?
socket.on('users', function (user) {
            switch (user.meta.action) {
                case 'create':
                    store.dispatch(appendUser(user.data));
                    break;

                case 'update':
                    store.dispatch(replaceUser(user.data));
                    break;

                case 'delete':
                    store.dispatch(deleteUser());
                    break;
            }
        });

A: Since you want the Websockets connection to be established when you initialize the React component, you should do it in the componentDidMount. This way you will be able to use setState.

The Movement Toward School Desegregation for Mexican-American Communities (by Enrique Romero)
Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary that makes clear the relationships among the key details and ideas.
Integrate information from diverse sources, both primary and secondary, into a coherent understanding of an idea or event, noting discrepancies among sources.
Evaluate authors' differing points of view on the same historical event or issue by assessing the authors' claims, reasoning, and evidence.
Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Determine the central ideas or conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
Overview: Students will comprehend the significance of the Mendez v. Westminster case in regards to its role in desegregating schools for Mexican and Mexican-Americans. By understanding the case, each student will not only learn about a long-forgotten case but they will also recognize the efforts made prior to the Brown v. Board of Education verdict to obtain equal educational opportunities.
Framework: During this two-day lesson plan on the Mendez vs. Westminster case for high school students, students will read a selected collection of documents ranging from newspaper article posts to interview transcriptions. These sources provide context and perspective on the Mendez vs. Westminster case, which are further elaborated upon through the use of audio and video aids, such as NPR and PBS learning center.
By the end of the first day, students should have a clear understanding of the development of the Mendez vs. Westminster case. They should be able to recall specific information that influenced the process and decision of the case, including how Mexican-Americans were perceived during this time period as well as the context from which they are fighting for their educational rights. By the end of the second day, students should have a strongly developed, well-rounded understanding of the Mendez vs. Westminster case. In addition, they should also understand how this case is connected to the Brown vs. Board of Education case, which ended segregation in the entire nation. To end the lesson, students will have a writing prompt where they will identify, explain, and analyze the progression of the Mendez vs. Westminster case.
Essential Understanding: The targeted high school students will foster an understanding of how the education system hindered select students of color from educational opportunities by specifically looking at what Mendez vs. Westminster aimed to address through the case.
What was the Mendez vs. Westminster case?
How did the parties involved in the case respond to the verdict?
Why were schools segregated in the first place for Mexicans and Mexican-Americans during the 1930s and 1940s?
Compare and contrast the schooling experiences of Mexican and White students.
Was this case enough to cause sufficient change for desegregated schools for Mexican-Americans?
How did the Mendez vs. Westminster play a role in the outcome of Brown vs. Board?
Can the Mendez vs. Westminster case be considered a movement?
De jure – According to rightful entitlement or claim; by right.
14th Amendment – It forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." [1]
Class action suit – A lawsuit that allows a large number of people with a common interest in a matter to sue or be sued as a group. [2]
The Mendez vs. Westminster School District federal court case in 1946 was a significant turn of events for Mexican-American children in the Orange Country area.[i] In the 1920s, a high prevalence of Mexican migration occurred in the United States due to the Mexican Revolution. As many settled into the southern region of the United States, a "Mexican-problem" began to unfold, causing the demand for some type of filtration to occur. In an attempt to contain the high increase of Mexicans in the United States, separate facilities were developing for Mexicans. Various school districts found themselves separating the Mexican and Mexican-American students from their white counterparts. When parents, such as Gonzalo and Felicitas Mendez, tried enrolling their children to the nearby school, they were denied such rights because of their brown skin and Mexican sounding last names. Infuriated with the injustices these children faced, the Mendez family sought to correct this problem. Through the recruitment of other families with similar stories, the Mendez's arranged a class case against the school districts that focused on schooling conditions for certain ethnic groups.
Documented as the first federal court case that concluded separate schools for students of color as unequal and unconstitutional, the Mendez v. Westminster case applied de jure segregation to the large urban districts of Los Angeles.[ii] Such accomplishments were possible through the families that sued the Westminster, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and El Modena School Districts. In addition, the role of Los Angeles attorney David C. Marcus, in consultation with Thurgood Marshall, showed the interconnections between different ethnic and social groups, such as with African-Americans and Brown v. Board.[iii] Although there were different opinions between Marcus and Marshall's approaches for the Mendez case, both agreed that the class lawsuit broke the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States. Based upon this constitutional right, Mexican-American students had equal protection of the laws in regards to the schooling experience they received from the districts.
Through the separation of Mexican-American students from their white peers, many prominent societal misconceptions were constantly reinforced. Because it was assumed that Mexican and Mexican-American children came from Spanish-speaking homes, districts tried justifying segregation by stating their concern for English language learners to truly grasp and understand English. However, there were various examples of students that spoke English very well yet they were still placed in a segregated school. By the 1930s, 80% of California school districts segregated Mexican students into "Mexican schools," which were very commonly under-resourced and in run-down buildings.iii Unfortunately, this separation only promoted the stereotypes of Mexican individuals while also valuing the concept of meritocracy that the United States constantly praises. In response, the Mexican-American soldiers who fought during World War II disputed this meritocratic ideology. They argued and questioned how the United States was allowing them to register and risk their lives to defend the country but were unwilling to provide their children with equal educational opportunities.[iv] Mexican-Americans were meant to feel inferior to the dominant white group. Moreover, the concept of "passing" as white symbolized the value of light skin, seeing as how Mexican-Americans with lighter complexions could attend better schools since they were mistaken as white.
A settlement was reached in 1946, when Judge McCormick ruled the segregation of Mexican children from public schools as unconstitutional. Not only was there no law stating the ability for districts to separate Mexican-American students from others (as there was for Native Americans, Chinese, and Japanese children), but also the Fourteenth Amendment of these children was unjustly broken. Although the school district attempted to file an appeal on the case, the decision was set. The occurrence and conclusion of the Mendez v. Westminster influenced the lives of not only Mexican and Mexican-American children, but it also had an extremely important influence in the Brown v. Board case for the rest of the nation. It should be understood that the Mendez vs. Westminster case is part of the continuous struggle for educational equality that still exists to this day in the United States.
Poster paper and markers
Copies of "Ruling Gives Mexican Children Equal Rights"
NPR Audio: Before 'Brown vs. Board of Education'
Video: Mendez vs. Westminster: Desegregating California's Schools
Transcript of Sylvia Mendez Interview by the Center for Oral and Public History
Hand out a copy of "Ruling Gives Mexican Children Equal Rights" article to each student. Have the students silently read the article to themselves. Once everyone is finished reading, break up the class into small groups of 3-4 (depending on the class size) and provide each group with poster paper and markers. Within each group, the students should work together to create a general summary of information that was presented in the article (i.e. individuals involved, verdict decision, reasoning for verdict, reaction of different groups, etc.) Note: This article does not go into specific details, but it provides a general background of the case, which will be further developed through the other activities.
Watch Mendez vs. Westminster: Desegregating California's Schools video. Inform the students that one of the women in the video is Sylvia Mendez, the daughter of Gonzalo and Felicitas Mendez, who reflects on how the case unfolded during her childhood. After watching the video, have the students get into their small groups again and update and/or add new information to their poster paper based on the video. The teacher should then go around to each group and ask them to present a piece of information relative to the case (making sure that information is not repeated). Allow other students to elaborate or comment on what is shared. Note: Save the poster papers created by students and hang them up somewhere in class for later reference.
After each group presents, have a larger class discussion on some of the topics that the video presents in regards to the Mendez vs. Westminster case, as well as the implications that come with being Mexican or Mexican-American during this time period. Possible discussion topics, which address the essential questions, include:
The schooling experiences and conditions of Mexican-American children in comparison to white peers
The way that Mexican and Mexican-Americans were perceived in society and how this impacted their education and living conditions
The development and organization of the Mendez vs. Westminster case
The court verdict and the reactions/changes it sparked
Homework: Give each student a copy of Sylvia Mendez's interview transcript. Assign the document as homework and inform students that a discussion will be held during the next class period that addresses this document.
At the beginning of class, the teacher should take a couple of minutes to recall the Mendez vs. Westminster case by using the student poster papers from the last class session.
Ask students to take out a piece of paper and write their thoughts or reflections on Sylvia Mendez's interview transcription. Prompt them to reflect on quotes or situations that stood out in the document. This paper will not be turned in.
Introduce students to the NPR audio Before 'Brown vs. Board of Education.' Ask students to write down anything that stands out to them as they listen. After listening to the audio, ask the class to share their thoughts on either the interview transcript or the audio. Ask students about the connection that exists between the two sources. Comment on the new ideas that are presented in these two sources about the case: the concept of cultural identity seen in the interview transcript and the interconnections that exist between Mexican-Americans and other minority groups.
The teacher should take this time to lecture on the relationship that Mexican-Americans involved in the Mendez vs. Westminster case had with other minority groups, such as with the NAACP's Thurgood Marshall. In doing this, students should learn about the way that the Mendez vs. Westminster case played a role in the later Brown vs. Board of Education case.
Final Writing Assignment: The students will have a final writing assignment that allows for them to identify, explain, and analyze the establishment and progression of the Mendez vs. Westminster case. Students will write from the perspective of one of the Mendez children, and they will have to write a letter to a family member in Mexico that is unaware of this case. In doing this, students should inform the relative about the case and address questions like: Who was involved? How did the case end? Did the case bring any changes and if so, in what ways? The students should cover the historical and social context of Mexican-Americans during this time, while making sure to cover information they find critical to understanding the case. The assignment should be 1-2 pages long, and should be turned in one week from the date is it assigned.

But even more paramount is that our rules are not in violation of the RNC rules.
And there is very real scenario which would put us in just such a violation, and that is another problem with our proposed WSRP Rule 37.
As currently constructed, if we do have a plurality winner in the primary, we would be in violation of RNC Rule 16(c)(3)(ii) – I'm including the (i) subsection below also because that is the direction I hope we will choose to go, but the violation would be of (ii).
(i) A state may establish by statewide vote or by congressional district a minimum threshold of the percentage of votes received by a candidate that must be reached below which a candidate may receive no delegates, provided such threshold is no higher than twenty percent (20%).
(ii) A state may establish by statewide vote or by congressional district a minimum threshold of the percentage of votes received by a candidate that must be reached above which the candidate may receive all the delegates, provided such threshold is no lower than fifty percent (50%).
So how would this be a violation? According to our rules, a plurality winner of the primary gets 100% of the first round of balloting. The RNC rules require at least 50% if trying to have a winner take all result.
We hear all the time that lawyers have reviewed all this, but this seems like a pretty obvious thing. These kinds of things are more easily caught when trying to codify fairness. When there is a strategic agenda built into rules, then we get problems.
I advocate for proportional representation for EVERYONE (primary and convention), and that the state central committee set a threshold of 20% or above as required by RNC Rule 16(c)(3)(i). If this most-fair option is denied us, heads up that we must bring the state rules into compliance with RNC Rule 16(c)(3)(ii).
NOTE: I find no provision for reducing our delegates under violations of 16(c)(3), only 16(c)(2). So while we would be in violation, it doesn't appear it would jeopardize our delegates (if I'm reading everything correctly), but since it still would be a violation of the rules with no explicit punishment under Rule 17, there is no telling what kind of chaos could ensue.
One might make the argument that 16(c)(3) applies only to the allocation of delegates and not to the binding of delegates. If given the context someone still desires to make that tenuous argument at 2016 convention time, I assume "chaos" would be an understatement.
Codify fairness – its the true path to unity.


Why Did Temperature Control Vaping Fail to Take Off?
When you shop online for box mods, any device that you find with power regulation features is going to have a temperature control mode available. Around 2015-2016, temperature control appeared as though it was fast becoming a must-have feature. If a mod didn't have temperature control mode on its feature list, no one would buy it. In the end, though, a funny thing happened: The trend reversed itself. Widespread adoption of temperature control vaping never actually took place as the manufacturers in the vaping industry predicted.
As 2018 draws to a close, there are no temperature control coils in production for any modern vaping tank aside from stainless steel coils. Most of the people who buy advanced mods today put their devices into wattage mode and never take them out of it. What happened? Temperature control vaping was supposed to end dry hits forever, but the vaping community as a whole breathed a collective sigh and moved on.
So, is temperature control vaping dead? Not quite, as you're about to find out. Among cloud chasers, though, the technology seems to have become completely irrelevant. Let's look at why temperature control vaping never quite reached critical mass.
It's amazing how much sub-ohm tanks have changed in just a few years. Today's pre-built tank coils have seemingly doubled in size compared to the coils that were considered powerful just a few years ago. People who use sub-ohm tanks typically use coil heads with anywhere from 4-12 heating wires, and those who don't use that type of coil have moved on to the newer mesh coils. In that world, there is simply no room for nickel or titanium coils. The big multiple-wire kanthal coil heads already push the limits of what vaping devices can handle in terms of low-resistance atomizers. The resistance of a big nickel or titanium coil for cloud chasing would be far too low for safe use. You simply can't build a nickel or titanium coil of the type that modern vapers expect.
You can use stainless steel, but there's a problem with that.
Temperature control vaping works on a principle called temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR). Some vaping coil materials change predictably in resistance when they become hotter. If we know the TCR of a metal or alloy – and we measure the resistance change when the metal heats up – we can estimate how much the metal's temperature has increased over room temperature. The greater the metal's TCR, the more accurate the temperature reading will become.
The three most common coil materials for temperature control vaping are nickel, titanium and stainless steel. Let's examine the TCR of those materials.
As you can see, stainless steel has a much lower TCR than the other common temperature control coil materials. Its resistance change during heating is smaller and more difficult to measure. Temperature control with a stainless steel coil, therefore, isn't particularly accurate. You need a high-end mod to use stainless steel in temperature control mode with any level of accuracy – and if you buy a high-end mod, it's not likely that you're using it for temperature control. Stainless steel coils work in wattage mode. They also work better than they do in temperature control mode. No temperature control device will allow you to set the temperature higher than 600 degrees F. In wattage mode, though, your coils most likely exceed that temperature. If you switch a stainless steel coil from temperature control mode to wattage mode, you instantly get more vapor – so you can imagine which mode most stainless steel coil users choose.
Another vaping trend conspired to keep temperature control out of the mainstream: sweetened e-liquid. In 2015-16, heavily sweetened e-liquids were growing in popularity, but they weren't quite as common as they are today. These days, almost every e-liquid that you're likely to find in any vape shop will be as sweet as candy – and as you likely already know, sucralose causes coil gunk to form. The more e-liquid you use, the faster the gunk forms. You're lucky to get a full day out of a powerful vaping coil if you use heavily sweetened e-liquids, so many vapers have moved on from pre-built coils and now build their own coils. The problem is that, for most people, nickel and titanium aren't viable materials for coil building at all.
As we described above, nickel and titanium aren't appropriate materials for true cloud chasing builds.
Nickel and titanium wires are very thin. It's hard to get them to hold their shape.
You can't dry fire a nickel or titanium coil to check for hot spots. You can't fire the coils in wattage mode, and temperature control mode won't allow the coils to become hot enough to glow. You simply have to build coils with spaced wraps and hope that there aren't any hot spots.
You also can't dry fire a nickel or titanium coil for cleaning as you can with a kanthal or stainless steel coil. When the coil gets gunky, the only real option is to discard the coil and build another.
Building a coil with kanthal wire is already monotonous and time consuming. Would you like to switch to a coil material that makes the building process even harder? Probably not.
At this point, you've probably concluded that temperature control vaping is completely dead. The truth, though, is that temperature control is only dead in the advanced segment of the vaping industry. Temperature control vaping lives on in the beginners' segment of the industry in the form of modern pod vaping systems. Vape shops such as Friske Drag sell a steady stream of pod vaping devices with built-in temperature control to beginning vapers because the technology is invisible to the user and simply works. Temperature control may not be the ideal technology for cloud chasers, but it's perfect for small devices in which lower vapor production is expected. Modern pod vaping systems by companies such as Vaporesso and Suorin – and even the popular JUUL e-cigarette – all have built-in temperature control to prevent dry hits.

How to choose chocolate for a chocolate tasting party
One of the best parts of a chocolate tasting is choosing the chocolates—which makers, which bars, what order? Clearly, there are a lot of variables, chief among them what's available in your area. It's also important to think about who will be at the tasting. Are they dark chocolate connoisseurs or milk chocolate lovers? Do they love inclusion bars (that is, bars with stuff in them) or are they purists?
One of my most popular classes is Chocolate 101, which is aimed at people with little to no experience in tasting chocolate. So, I choose chocolates with two objectives in mind. First, I want to highlight different approaches to chocolate making and provide context for what's happening in craft chocolate. Hopefully, I can also bust a few chocolate myths along the way (more on this below). Second, I want each person at the tasting to find at least one bar that they really enjoy, and to feel confident in their choice. This may sound odd—who goes to a chocolate tasting and doesn't enjoy the chocolate?—but many people lack confidence in their palates, and my hope is that they leave my class a little braver.
Partnering with Choco Rush
Over the past few years, the number of chocolate subscription box services and online stores has multiplied. I love it because not everyone lives near a specialty chocolate retailer—and who doesn't like receiving a box of chocolate every month? And so, I've partnered with the folks at Chocorush this holiday season. With their help, I've curated bars from some of my favourite makers.
Buy the holiday collection here (sorry, ships to US addresses only).
On the Chocorush blog, I wrote a bit about each of the makers and bars and what to expect from each. To complement that, I wanted to talk about why this flight works, and some of the things to look for as you taste these bars as a group.
Here are some guiding principles for constructing a chocolate flight.
Number. There are six bars in the collection, which is an ideal number for chocolate tasting. I usually advise people to taste five to seven bars, which is enough to understand the general lay of the land—how each individual chocolate fits in—without being overwhelming.
Geography. I wanted to highlight the geographic diversity in craft chocolate making, so several countries are represented: Canada (of course), France, Vietnam, and the USA. It skews heavily toward the USA, partly because of the explosion of craft chocolate stateside, and also because that's where Chocorush is based.
Diversity. As a general-interest box, I wanted to include a variety of kinds of chocolate, including dark, milk, and inclusions. (We had white chocolate on the longlist, but it didn't make the cut.) The takeaway? All kinds of chocolate are fair game—milk chocolate doesn't have to be sickly sweet, and chocolate with stuff in it is just as elegant as plain bars. Among the dark chocolate, I included a few single origins and a blend, because neither is inherently better than the other.
Next, let's look at how each of the bars fits into the bigger picture.
Fruition Chocolate (USA) Hispaniola 68%
The first bar of a tasting is the trickiest because people's palates aren't primed yet. Of the bars in this group, Fruition's Hispaniola is the best suited: reasonably assertive with plenty of nuance. Made with cacao from the Dominican Republic, it has a nice balance of fruity, spicy and earthy notes, and the relatively low percentage makes it nice and accessible.
What to look for: This bar includes added cocoa butter and vanilla, which is anathema to the purist approach that is more common among American craft chocolate makers. The result is a bar with an easy melt and nice depth of flavour without being overwhelmingly vanilla-y. It goes to show that there's nothing inherently better about two-ingredient chocolate—and as this Fruition bar shows, a bit of cocoa butter and vanilla aren't necessarily bad.
Askinosie (USA) Davao 77%
I really like using this bar in tastings. First, it's an excuse to introduce people to Askinosie, its sourcing practices and the back story of Shawn Askinosie transitioning from a legal career to chocolate making. Second, it's one of the few (only?) bars using cacao from the Philippines. Third, it's delicious. But even more, I love the look on people's faces when they taste a bar that's labelled 77%—they expect big, aggressive flavours, but instead are treated to delicate caramelly notes.
What to look for: This bar is far milder than its high-octane percentage might imply, showing that percentage only tells you so much about a bar. And frankly, it doesn't tell you much.* Another twist on this bar is to use it in a blind tasting and have people guess its percentage; most people guess much lower than it is.
Soma (Canada) Little Big Man 70%
It's hard to explain how much I love Soma Chocolatemaker, or how proud I am that they're Canadian. Instead, I present Little Big Man, made from a blend of Madagascan and Ecuadorian beans, as proof of chocolate maker David Castellan's talent, and that a good chocolate blend is every bit as good as a single origin. As far as its position in the chocolate lineup, Little Big Man also has enough oomph to provide a nice foil for the milder Askinosie Davao that precedes it, and to ease the transition into the more pronounced Marou Ben Tre that follows.
What to look for: Little Big Man is a great example of a kickass blend. Single-origin bars dominate the marketplace, and many tasters gravitate toward them as being a purer kind of experience. But single-origin bars aren't automatically better than blends; in fact, because creating a good blend means working with more variables, many chocolate makers say that making a good blended bar is more difficult than a single-origin bar. (Think of whisky: a good blend is far superior to a clumsy single malt any day.)
Marou (Vietnam) Ben Tre 78%
Vietnam-based Marou is a fascinating case study for craft chocolate. First, there's the exploration of different cacao-growing regions of Vietnam, which many people may not think of as a hotbed of raw material. Second, the packaging is gorgeous and inspired by Vietnamese textiles. Third, as a story from Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania <http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/from-bean-to-bar-expatriates-in-vietnam-taste-sweet-success/> explains, Vietnam is generally associated with cheap goods and labour—the idea of making a premium product in such an environment is a bit unexpected (and probably good for the bottom line, frankly).
What to look for: On paper, this bar has a lot in common with Askinosie Davao: similar percentages, and made with cacao from southeast Asia. But upon tasting, it's pretty clear that they're worlds apart. Normally I would put these two bars back to back, but it would be pretty jarring to go directly from Davao to Ben Tre. I think it's an easier transition to go from Little Big Man to Ben Tre. That said, before you dip into the world of salted chocolate, I suggest revisiting the Davao to see how it compares to Ben Tre.
Dick Taylor (USA) Fleur de Sel
Consider this a bridging bar, keeping us in the world of dark chocolate but adding an inclusion (in this case, sea salt) to the mix. With this bar, the kids at Dick Taylor pay homage to Guatemala, in both cacao beans and salt. Generally, I put inclusions toward the end of a tasting—and if there are several, taste the bolder flavours (coffee, chilis) toward the end so as to not blow out people's palates. In this case, it makes sense to put the dark salted bar at the end of the plain dark bars, but before milk chocolate.
What to look for: You can play with this one: put the salt side down for a more intense experience, or salt side up for more subtlety. Either way, notice how the salt accentuates the chocolate without overpowering it, and you can still appreciate the chocolate—that's the mark of a good inclusion bar.
Pralus (France) Melissa 45%
Where FDA regulations call for milk chocolate to include a minimum of 10% (!) cacao, this one has 45% and is considered a dark milk chocolate.** Pralus is about as far away from the American craft chocolate approach as you can get, typically using dark, heavy roasts on its beans and adding a generous amount of cocoa butter. Melissa tends to be a crowd-pleaser, appeasing milk chocolate lovers who want to love dark, and swaying dark chocolate lovers who tend to turn up their noses at milk chocolate.
What to look for: Compared to most milk chocolate, this lacks the sharp sweetness that often prickles the back of the throat, and the milk powder is of high quality so you don't end up with a sour milk coating on your tongue. This will definitely taste sweeter against the dark chocolates that came earlier in the tasting, but hopefully not cloyingly so. Made in typical French style, this bar is extremely melty—some might say too melty, but that's a matter of preference.
A final note (and all those asterisks)
Finally, once you've tasted the chocolates in a flight, feel free to dip in and out. The order in which you taste things will affect your perception, so feel free to mix things up and see if you can discover new flavour notes that weren't apparent on first taste.
In particular, milk chocolate, with its added sugar, tends to affect the palate, so it can be interesting to go back to the dark chocolates and see if your perception changes. In particular, see if the Fruition tastes quite as fruity, if the Askinosie seems as mild, if the nuances of Soma are still discernible, if the Ben Tre seems more or less "dark," and if the Dick Taylor seems more or less salty.
* The percentage of a bar tells you roughly how sweet it will be. In the simplest case, a good-quality 70% bar contains 70% stuff from the cacao bean and 30% sugar. So if you had a 100 gram bar, it would contain 70 grams of processed cacao beans and 30 grams of sugar. In other words, the percentage tells you nothing about where the cacao came from, how it tastes, or how much you'll like it. (This is a vast oversimplification and I go into more detail in The Chocolate Tasting Kit.)
** A good-quality bar of milk chocolate will contain cacao, milk powder and sugar, and maybe added cocoa butter or vanilla. A dark milk chocolate bar contains more cacao—typically 40% and above—and less sugar than mass market products. The result is the best of both worlds with the flavour of a dark chocolate bar and the creamy melt of a milk chocolate bar.

Maybe it's a mirage or maybe it really is on the horizon albeit a teeny tiny glimpse of what's coming… but still I can see Summer. Maybe it's after having spent a week in Sweden where it was minus 19 degrees at the coldest and having arrived back into London where it is currently 13 degrees. It all just feels positively balmy right now as I can feel the heat coming even if it is arriving at a glacial pace… But if you need any more proof of Summers approach, check out the latest End Of The Year Shoot by Pedro Pedreira featuring a slew of Brazilian boys including Danilo Fonseca, Filipe Hillmann, Francisco Rath, Otavio Sohn, and Piero Rechia do what Brazilians perhaps do best, poolside poses that show off their tiny speedos, muscles and Summery glows. Believe me now about Summer?


We've got a slow Thursday on tap with just a six-game slate, but it is six games with a couple of interesting matchups. The highlight for me is the James Paxton vs Justin Verlander battle, but there is also a Coors Field game featuring two solid pitchers that will make it a little more difficult than usual to decide how to play it.
Nearly all the hitting ownership is likely to be clustered around Coors Field plus the Yankees and Red Sox, making this a slate highly dependent on lineup construction and game theory.

Prof Abdon Atangana receives World Academy of Sciences award
Prof Abdon Atangana is known for his work in developing a new fractional operator used to model real-world problems arising in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. He was recently awarded the TWAS Mohammad A. Hamdan Award by The World Academy of Sciences.
Prof Abdon Atangana, Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Institute for Groundwater Studies at the University of the Free State (UFS), was awarded the TWAS Mohammad A. Hamdan Award by The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries.
It is the first time that the TWAS Mohammad A. Hamdan Award was bestowed. According to a statement issued by TWAS, this award is given for outstanding mathematical work carried out by a scientist working and living in Africa or the Arab region. It states that the award can be given for work in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability, or statistics. Prof Atangana received the award for his contribution to fractal mathematics and partial differential equations.
Making a difference in society
He is known for his research in developing a new fractional operator, the Atangana-Baleanu operator, which is used to model real-world problems. With this operator, he not only describes the rate at which something will change, but also account for disrupting factors that will help to produce better projections.
His work can be applied to make complicated predictions in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. His models can, for instance, help to predict the spread of infectious diseases among people in a settlement, forecasting the number of people who will be infected each day, the number of people who will recover, and the number of people who will die.
Prof Atangana's models can also help to advise people drilling for water by predicting how groundwater is flowing in a complex geological formation. These are only two examples of how his work can be applied to make a difference in society.
The award from TWAS is the third prestigious commendation he has received in the past month. He was recently named as one of the top 1% scientists on the global Clarivate Web of Science list. His name also appeared on a global list of leading scientists published by Stanford University in the United States. The list is the result of a study published in PLOS Biology, a peer-reviewed open-access journal.
World's most accomplished scientists
Honours awarded by TWAS and its partners are among the most prestigious for research in the developing world. They recognise outstanding achievements and contributions to science and acknowledge the best work by scientists from the global South.
TWAS, founded in 1983 by a group of scientists under the leadership of Pakistani physicist and Nobel laureate, Abdus Salam, believes that developing nations – by growing strength in science and engineering – will be able to address challenges such as hunger, disease, and poverty, through their knowledge and skills.
TWAS is represented in 100 countries, and of the more than a thousand elected fellows, 14 are Nobel laureates. Eighty-four percent of these fellows are from developing nations. TWAS fellows are also some of the world's most accomplished scientists.
UFS forms partnership with Lebone Land Care Centre
The University of the Free State (UFS) has formed a partnership with the Lebone Land Care Centre, a local non-governmental organisation taking care of HIV/Aids orphans. The partnership was formalised during the recent HIV/Aids event hosted by the Chief Directorate: Community Service at the UFS in partnership with the Life Skills HIV and Aids Unit of the Free State Department of Education. This was the biggest HIV/Aids focus event in the history of the university, which culminated with the handing over of a R10 000 cheque to the Lebone Land Care Centre. Pictured is the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, Prof Frederick Fourie, handing over the cheque to the Funding Co-ordinator for Lebone Land, Mr Clint Bailey.

'Saturday Night Live' Mocks Assange Arrest: 'I'm An Actual James Bond Super villain'
Corporate media trying to paint journalist as malicious hacker

By The Hill Sunday, April 14, 2019
"Saturday Night Live" in its latest episode tackled the arrest of Julian Assange, portraying the WikiLeaks founder behind bars.
"Now that the Mueller report turned out to be a big fat zero," a mock MSNBC announcer says in the show's cold opening, "we're back to prison shows."
"Right now, it's 'Lock Up: Chino Correctional Facility.'"
After cast members playing inmates as well as actress Lori Loughlin, who faces charges in the college admissions scandal, and celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti, who is charged with stealing millions from clients, argue over who is the "craziest," Michael Keaton is seen as Assange.
"I'm the architect of anarchy. I'm the king of chaos. I'm the scourge of the cleaning staff at the Ecuadorean Embassy," Keaton says.

Norm Pattis joins Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson to give his take on the recent arrest of Julian Assange.


Built with a stable fiberglass base and a durable exterior covered with granules, Victorian PLUS forms an ultimate protection for your roof, which will offer you the best solution for your roof, as long as your roof slope is between 15°/20°-85°.
Because of the demanding European standards, IKO Shingles only produces shingles with a glass fiber inlay.
Please be aware that organic shingles (with felt inlay) don't meet the EN norms. Even though IKO only offers a high quality fiberglass (and not felt!) based asphalt shingle, fiberglass roof shingles are often confused with organic felt shingles on the market. These felt shingles, also known as felt tiles or felt roof tiles, offer a below average quality.
These 2 types of roof shingles couldn't be less alike!
Being a strong and durable shingle, Victorian PLUS (with fiberglass inlay!) is resistant to all kind of weather conditions. A roof shingle with an organic felt inlay (commonly referred to as felt shingles, felt tiles or felt roof tiles and – just to be clear - NOT in IKO Shingles) on the other side is less waterproof and fireproof, which can lead to premature and destructive curling and cracking.
Another argument to choose for Victorian PLUS is its impressive tensile strength. A short example of the test can be found in our film "How do they do it?". This movie shows the different stages of the production process and also gives a small look at a few important quality checks we do to make sure our IKO shingles deliver the high quality customers expect. One of these tests measures the tensile strength.
700 N/50 mm for the tensile width (EN 12311-1).
For the EN 544 standards the following minimum values are required: 600 N/50 mm for the tensile length (EN 12311-1) and 400 N/50 mm for the tensile width.
Looks like Victorian PLUS exceeds these standards by more than 65 % without any effort!
The advantages mentioned above also count for Armourglass PLUS (rectangular shaped) and Diamant PLUS (triangular shaped), 2 IKO roof shingles that offer the same quality as the rounded Victorian PLUS. The biggest advantages of these 3 types of IKO PLUS shingles are UV protection; flexibility at low temperature and APP modified bitumen.
How many shingles do I need?
Easy application (for professional roofers): Base is a wooden or concrete underdeck construction with a waterproof IKO underlayment. Apply roof shingles with IKO nails. You would need +/- 35 pc/m². Valley, hips and ridges are easy to install without purchasing a huge range of extra accessories.
Foresee solid insulation and also good ventilation for an optimal and long-lasting roof - improving heating and cooling costs. Eaves, rakes, walls, chimneys, roof windows, etc. require metal flashings.


The North East awoke to a cooler morning that we're used to today - but the weather is expected to warm up throughout the day.
A largely dry and generally sunny day is expected. It will be feeling warm, with only light winds, although the sunshine could turn a little hazy at times.
The Met Office has warned of the possibility of the odd shower developing later, but most places remaining dry. The maximum temperature is forecast is expected to be 21 °C.
Tonight is expected to be largely dry at first, with clear spells - but occasional showers will move in from the west overnight, becoming heavier and more frequent by dawn. Temperatures are expected to fall to 10 °C.
Tomorrow's forecast is for scattered showers, interspersed with occasional brighter or sunny spells. These showers could be heavy at times, perhaps with thunder or hail, before easing through the evening. The Met Office predicts the maximum temperature to be 18 °C.

Ireland has higher than average variety of blue-eyed people

Another Irish saint, Aidan of Lindisfarne, has been proposed as a potential patron saint of the United Kingdom, while Saints Kilian and Vergilius grew to become the patron saints of Würzburg in Germany and Salzburg in Austria, respectively. Irish missionaries founded monasteries outdoors Ireland, corresponding irish women to Iona Abbey, the Abbey of St Gall in Switzerland, and Bobbio Abbey in Italy. Other Latin names for individuals from Ireland in Classic and Mediaeval sources include Attacotti and Gael. This final word, derived from the Welsh gwyddel "raiders", was eventually adopted by the Irish for themselves.
The Hebrides are to this present day known in Scottish Gaelic as Innse Gall, "the islands of foreigners"; the irony of this being that they are one of many final strongholds of Gaelic in Scotland. Ireland has the highest per capita percentage of redheads on the planet — anywhere from 10 to 30 percent, in accordance with Eupedia, a web site that explores European genetics and ancestry. They are nearly equally prevalent in Scotland and other pockets of Celtic pride. A slightly decrease share hail from Cornwall in England and western elements of Switzerland. In the 1600s, when English rule intensified, the prefixes O and Mac had been widely dropped as a result of it grew to become extraordinarily tough to find work if you had an Irish sounding title.
She has a eager sense of favor, nicely dressed and knows how to look graceful and horny in various outfits. Larmour, was recognized because the "most glamorous woman in Northern Ireland" by public voting within the well-liked local magazine "IN!Magazine". A 2011 year, in style of the world's shiny magazine FHM for the UK and Ireland by public vote put the cat in the first place, as the most beautiful girl. It is popular Irish actress, singer, authoress, model and wonder Queen, which has the title of Miss World 2003. Rosanna – daughter recognized within the West is a proficient musician, Chris de Burgh, and the track "For Rosanna" was written by her father in 1986 year in her honor.
Unlike previous studies, giant sections of autosomal DNA have been analyzed in addition to paternal Y-DNA markers. Modern Irish are the inhabitants most genetically much like the Bronze Age stays, adopted by Scottish and Welsh, and share extra DNA with the three Bronze Age men from Rathlin Island than with the sooner Ballynahatty Neolithic woman. Pytheas made a voyage of exploration to northwestern Europe in about 325 BC, but his account of it, recognized broadly in Antiquity, has not survived and is now recognized only by way of the writings of others. On this voyage, he circumnavigated and visited a substantial part of fashionable-day Great Britain and Ireland. He was the primary known scientific customer to see and describe the Celtic and Germanic tribes.
However, as a time period it is on a par with Viking, because it describes an activity (raiding, piracy) and its proponents, not their precise ethnic affiliations. The population of Ireland is about 6.three million, but it's estimated that 50 to eighty million individuals around the world have Irish forebears, making the Irish diaspora one of the largest of any nation. Historically, emigration from Ireland has been the results of battle, famine and financial points. People of Irish descent are found primarily in English-speaking nations, especially Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. There are also significant numbers in Argentina, Mexico, New Zealand and Brazil.

Famous Irish writers include Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, Samuel Beckett, George Bernard Shaw, Bram Stoker, James Joyce, C.S. Lewis and Seamus Heaney. Notable Irish explorers include Brendan the Navigator, Sir Robert McClure, Sir Alexander Armstrong, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean. By some accounts, the first European youngster born in North America had Irish descent on either side. Many presidents of the United States have had some Irish ancestry.
1689–1702) and their British successors—began the settling of Protestant Scottish and English colonists into Ireland, where they settled most closely in the northern province of Ulster. The Plantations of Ireland, and specifically the Plantation of Ulster in the seventeenth century, launched nice numbers of Scottish, English as well as French Huguenots as colonists.
TOP 10 most stunning women of Ireland
One extreme example is on a tombstone in Ireland the place the surname for a household of six is proven as McEneaney, McAneany, McAneny, McEnaney, McEneany – and Bird (from the mistaken perception that the name comes from éan, a fowl). Often a nickname or English version of a name is used in their composition where the particular person would use a normal Irish form in formal circumstances. For example, the outstanding sean-nós singer Seán Mac Dhonnchadha is perhaps better often known as Johnny Mhairtín Learaí. Some names of Norman origin have the prefix Fitz, from Latin language filius "son", corresponding to Fitzwilliam, Fitzgerald, and so forth.
Traditional Gaeltacht names
The most important Irish mental of the early monastic interval was the ninth century Johannes Scotus Eriugena, an impressive thinker in terms of originality. He was the earliest of the founders of scholasticism, the dominant school of medieval philosophy. He had considerable familiarity with the Greek language, and translated many works into Latin, affording access to the Cappadocian Fathers and the Greek theological tradition, beforehand almost unknown within the Latin West. Black Irish is an ambiguous term typically used (primarily outdoors Ireland) as a reference to a dark-haired phenotype showing in folks of Irish origin.
The Irish were among the many first folks in Europe to make use of surnames as we all know them at present. It is very common for folks of Gaelic origin to have the English variations of their surnames starting with 'Ó' or 'Mac' (Over time however many have been shortened to 'O' or Mc). 'O' comes from the Irish Ó which in turn came from Ua, which implies "grandson", or "descendant" of a named individual. The contraction from Mac to Mc has occurred more in Ireland than in Scotland, with two out of three Mc surnames originating in Ireland, however two out of three Mac surnames originating in Scotland. McCarthy is the only Mac/Mc title within the Irish high ten surnames, and MacDonald is the only one within the Scottish prime ten.
