Have you ever noticed how you can remember certain pieces of information without having to think about it? Even if you haven't used the information for years, you can still recall it within a second or so. Think about your multiplication tables, what is 6 times 6? You see… that just came right out. What about 9 times 7? You were pretty fast on this one as well.
So the question is, how is this possible? The answer is easy, at some point the information was drilled into you without mercy, and failure was not an option. You were expected to know the answers almost instantly. You had to repeat the information over and over and over again, until you had it down. We ended up with permanent brain paths to support these information sets… in my case, even after decades of using calculators and spreadsheets I can still recall the information pretty quickly. So, practice makes permanent.
Is repetition the only way for us to remember anything? Another way is to tell people a memorable story or using a parable. If I am seeking professional advice or maybe a contractor to perform work, then I always remind myself of "… the folly of entrusting a brickmaker to buy jewels". I had read this in a book called "The Richest Man in Babylon" about 20 years or so ago, and still remember the story.
Why do I remember this phrase so well? It's because I use the concept regularly and do my homework to ensure that I employ the right people with a reliable track record for the task at hand. So, you can see how a memorable story's core stuck with me over the years, and how I use it as a reference.
We also memorize by association, like remembering which actors played in certain movies. When we see February 14th on a calendar, we know it is Valentines Day. Someone may draw a sketch to explain something to me and I remember it because I associate the drawing with the information. You are probably starting to wonder what this has to do with Maintenance? Everything. It is said that the "small foxes spoil the vine", or on a more positive note 'every play determines a football game's outcome'.
You will find it very useful to employ these memory tools to train maintenance and reliability personnel. For example, when I train planners, I use the 'Planner's Triangle' by drawing the triangle (pictured below), and repeating the information several times and then following-up. I also make sure the information is captured and visible within the Standard Operating Procedures and on the workflow diagrams.
The triangle helps planners to remember that each time they plan, there are three items involved: the task list(s), a bill of material and the maintenance work order(s). Usually planners only remember the work order during the planning process, and that means they have to keep recreating the job plans each time the same issue appears. Paying attention to the triangle will prevent this from happening and employ the power of fully preplanned task lists and updated bills of material.
I am sure there are many additional memory methods and techniques that can be used. With a few memory techniques you can help the people you work with, and can aid in the transformation of your organization's work processes and business results. Remember though, the best way to motivate people to do or learn something new, is to tell them WHY these tasks and their outcomes are important.
Feel free to give me your perspective by either posting your comments or contacting us with any questions.


I introduced the Ch. 10 vocabulary words, and then we watched three video clips showing interviews with DiCaprio and Luhrmann, the director, and scenes about the making of the film.

Which version would Fitzgerald like better, and why?
In class today, we continued viewing the second Gatsby film and left off just as the rain stops after Daisy and Nick's reunion at Nick's. Download and bring your Ch. 9 vocab packet to class on Friday. We will finish the film on Friday after previewing the vocabulary.
Today, we finished choosing our topics of analysis (a character or element of the film) and began our viewing and discussion of the Gatsby film. Next class, we will begin with the scene of Nick returning home after dining with the Buchanans.
Today in 7B, we continued our viewing and discussion (well, I discussed) of the Gatsby film and next class will begin with the scene in the hotel in New York, when Jay loses his cool and looks like a killer. In 8B, we will start with the scene in which the group is driving into New York.
Today was our first day of Q4, and I introduced the schedule of reading and vocabulary for the quarter. I also reviewed how to better integrate text support in literary essays, and students compared and evaluated four examples. Following this, students chose partners for the Gatsby project, and we will finish topic assignment on Monday before beginning the film.
We began our viewing and comparison-contrast analysis of Luhrmann's film version of The Great Gatsby. We stopped just as the scene in NY with Meyer Wolfsheim was beginning. Outside of class, return to the novel and compare what you saw today, for your character/element, to the novel and make notes to help you with your specific presentation.
We did not meet today, as it was College Day for juniors. I will introduce Q4 and get us started on Thursday.
To begin the final quarter, I introduced the Q4 calendar and the units of study we will be doing. I returned work and reviewed a key concept of writing literary analysis: how, where, and why to add textual evidence to support ideas. We analyzed two comparative sets of paragraphs and assessed which paragraphs better presented and supported the writer's main point with source use. In Per. 7B, students formed partnerships for the Q4 Gatsby project and chose what character or aspect they will analyze and report on to the class. We will start viewing the next film on Wednesday.
We finished our viewing of the 1974 film version of The Great Gatsby, and students turned in their film notes. We will begin viewing the 2013 film and start our comparisons between films and to the novel after spring break. I will be grading during spring break, and your Q3 grade won't be final until you return from break. Meanwhile, take a breather, relax, and have fun--but be safe!

Tassie builds strategy to win datacentres
Tasmania's premier yesterday announced that his government was developing a strategy to lure datacentres to the state in a bid to create more jobs.
By Suzanne Tindal | January 19, 2010 -- 00:34 GMT (16:34 PST) | Topic: Storage
(Datacentre 3 image

"Datacentres and 'server farms' will allow the establishment of new industries and thousands more jobs over the next decade," Premier David Bartlett said in a statement.
He said Tasmania had already managed to set up a call centre industry employing over 5000 people by using a similar strategy.
The datacentre strategy would find and highlight the advantages of hosting a datacentre in Tasmania and form policies to support other innovative industries which might emerge from datacentre growth within Tasmania. Any barriers to setting up the facilities in the state were to be noted and addressed.
The National Broadband Network roll-out, which is currently going ahead in Tasmania, would be a key drawcard for companies wanting to set up datacentres in the state, Bartlett said.
"High speed optic fibre along with our abundance of renewable energy and secure environment makes Tasmania a very attractive location for new datacentres," he said.
The government also intended to use its own datacentre requirements as a lever to prop up the strategy, according to the premier.
These requirements came under review in 2007 as the government's Information Systems Branch decided to reconsider its IT Infrastructure Strategic plan. The revision was intended to develop strategies for the provision of IT Infrastructure such as servers, desktops, networks and storage, as well as services such as disaster recovery. The review was carried out in 2007, with 16 recommendations endorsed in August 2008.
The recommendations lead to the formation of design specifications for upgrades to government infrastructure. The Department of Treasury and Finance released a tender yesterday for a vendor to provide it with centralised storage, due to a strong trend in electronic data growth.
The Department of Treasury and Finance currently uses around 2TB of storage and would like to have 7TB of usable storage. The department has purchased two fibre pairs which will be dedicated to the storage area network traffic at the two storage sites. Delivery of the storage network was to be completed by September 2010.

Clean Path Energy Center Overview
Over the past decade, the federal government, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and with the collaboration of regulatory agencies in many western states, regulations, laws and goals have been established to identify ways to mitigate and reduce greenhouse gas pollution and the effects of climate change. In New Mexico, to this end, the New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED) and Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) have also been actively involved in the transformation of the Four Corners energy landscape. PNM, as operator of the 1,800 MW San Juan Generating Station, recently announced an agreement with EPA and NMED to permanently retire 894 MW at San Juan Generating Station by December 31, 2017. Other coal-fired plants in the region including the 2,250 MW Navajo Generating Station in Page, Arizona and the 1,800 MW Intermountain Power Plant in Delta, Utah, are also expected to be retiring significant amounts of capacity in the near to mid-range future.
The end result of these retirements will be the loss of well over 3,000 MW of electrical generating capacity that needs to be replaced by clean, reliable and cost effective generation resources.
That is where the Clean Path Energy Center comes into play to meet this significant challenge. The project will provide important new and environmentally responsible generating capacity along with creating new jobs and investment in San Juan County and the region.
Modernizing and replacing the power generation resources in the Four Corners region that have served the West for over 50 years represents a significant challenge to utilities, regulators and power plant developers.
And time is a critical factor.
With coal plant retirements and divestitures already well underway and slated to be largely completed by the mid-2020s, it is imperative that Clean Path and other projects in the region be developed and built in a timely manner so that overall electrical system reliability can be maintained throughout the West.
The Clean Path Energy Center represents one of the key building blocks in helping assure that the Four Corners region will continue to play a vital role in powering the economy of the West well into the 21st century. Clean Path is being designed to be a true showcase project not only for the region, but for the nation as well. It will serve as model for efficient, sustainable and environmentally responsible power generation for future generations of consumers.
The following are the key facts about the Clean Path Energy Center:
Clean Path Energy Center is a uniquely designed and ideally located combination of a traditional 680 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) co-located with a renewable 70 MW Solar Photovoltaic project. The project will be capable of providing essential baseload generation during all hours of the year as well as additional vital peaking capacity during times of higher system loads.
Clean Path Energy Center will be connected to the electrical transmission grid at the nearby Shiprock Substation operated by the Western Area Power Administration (Western). The new transmission line to interconnect the project will be less than two miles in total length. Clean Path will receive natural gas by connecting to the San Juan Hub through existing pipelines owned by the El Paso Natural Gas Company. The project will serve as an important and large new customer for local gas production in the region.
Clean Path Energy Center will take full advantage of the recent and dramatic advances in CCGT design and technology. The project is being designed to be the most efficient gas fired plant in the entire western U.S.
Clean Path Energy Center will be capable of exceptionally fast ramping rates to help integrate the growing amount of intermittent renewable generation that is being installed across the West.
Clean Path Energy Center will be designed to meet the most stringent air permitting standards and be among the cleanest natural gas fired plants in the U.S. Given the project's world-class efficiency and solar PV component, comparative CO2 and other emissions per kilowatt-hour of electrical production will be amongst the lowest in North America.
Clean Path Energy Center will create approximately 800 jobs during the construction phase and at least 30 full time family wage positions when it is operational.
Clean Path Energy Center will employ an innovative hybrid air and water cooling system which will serve to minimize project water use.
Clean Path Energy Center will be located on a 635-acre privately-owned land parcel that has been historically utilized for cattle ranching. No cultivated agricultural land will need to be removed from production.
Clean Path Energy Center will undergo a comprehensive public permitting review process including an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) air permit, as well as other related local, state and federal agency reviews and approvals.

Conducting investigations that will pass ethical, legal, and administrative scrutiny is challenging. Any lapses in ethical judgment by the investigator can and will likely result in both the investigation being derailed and the investigator being disciplined or worse. The lack of understanding ethical and professional boundaries has ruined many investigative careers, regardless of how well intentioned the investigator was at the time. Learn a four-fold way for gauging ethical effectiveness and staying within the boundaries of good practice as an investigator.
The Bottom Line: Working as an investigator is an exciting and fulfilling career. Providing even a modicum of justice while righting wrongs is incredibly satisfying yet dangers lurk while conducting investigations. Ethical lapses in judgment, unfamiliarity with professional standards, lack of knowledge of administrative regulations, rules, and laws can and will derail an investigation and impeach the credibility of the investigator. In some cases, ethical lapses in judgment will destroy investigative careers even if the investigator had the best of intentions at the time. An investigator must be ethical and this course will provide a discussion and learning pathway, that if followed, can aid the investigator in maintaining a high level of ethics, professionalism, and integrity in their conduct as an investigator. Anyone that conducts investigations - whether Loss Prevention/Asset Protection, auditors, special agents, detectives, or administrators -- must be aware of ethical boundaries and dilemmas at all times and be prepared to act ethically.
Examples of ethical situations are provided, discussed, and demonstrated to provide the learner a sense of how to applying the HELP technique to maintain proper ethical and professional boundaries in investigations.
The Ethical Investigator course is part of a series on Special Investigations to aid and grow the learner's investigative skill set.

Western Cape welcomes extension of Sunday trade of wine at registered wineries
December 19, 2020, 6:24 am	 South Africa LifeStyle
Western Cape Agriculture Minister Ivan Meyer has welcomed the extension of Sunday trade of wine at registered wineries and farms in the province.
He says a blanket limitation would have been detrimental to wine tourism and the agro-processing economy, which employs thousands of people.
Meyer says they have made available R12-million for the establishment of the Wine Industry Tourism Worker Support Stipend.
He says the stipend will support 1 300 workers for three months.
"I have written a letter to the national government requesting them to remove the restrictions on the wine industry. And I am now pleased to announce that the latest regulations were amended to allow for wine tastings and Sunday wine sales for offsite consumption."
"We will continue to protest both lives and livelihoods. The wine industry and agriculture are critical for the success of the economic recovery in South Africa."
In November, President Cyril Ramaphosa said as long as people observe all the necessary health protocols and remaining restrictions, there is no need to go back to higher lockdown levels.
He said the international community has commended the country for how it handled the pandemic.
The video below is the President's address:
However, he said in order to prevent a resurgence in cases, attention must be given to certain areas, including the Eastern Cape.
"And the total number of new cases in the last 14 days was around 145% higher than the previous 14 days. These increases are being driven by massive spikes in the Nelson Mandela Metro and the Sarah Baartman District in particular," says the President.
Ramaphosa said poor adherence to social distancing, wearing masks and poor hygiene will allow for rising infections.

Aayushi
BA (Hons) Media and Film & TV
I would recommend NTU to everyone, I have never met anyone who second guesses their decision to come here. NTU challenges you at every step, but in a good way.
More about Aayushi
Why did you choose to study abroad and why did you choose NTU?
"No other university gave me the opportunity to combine media and TV together. It is a unique course and that excited me."
How did you feel about coming to a UK university?
"Excited and terrified, but mostly excited. I had never been to the UK before. I was excited at the prospect of living alone, and travelling. When you're with your parents, you live in a protective cocoon. Here in the UK, I was going to be able to do everything on my own which was a little daunting."
Is there anything that stood out on your course?
"My modules. The courses offered by other universities were limited in nature and repetitive in content, however NTU offered me a diverse range of subjects that I could study in one course."
What modules have you particularly enjoyed?
"I particularly enjoyed the International Cinemas module. We had screenings every Tuesday and it was a great way to study. We would study theory and after an hour, have a screening of a film. Seeing the theory implemented on screen solidified the concept in my mind and made it easier to understand and remember, which helped me during the exams."
How does the way you study at NTU differ from your previous experience of studying?
"It is completely different. The main difference between India and the UK is the assessment method. Here, the focus is on essays rather than exams; something I had to get used to. We also have seminars that help a lot in understanding difficult concepts. The professors make the modules interactive and interesting by putting clips in lecture slides, which breaks the monotony of a regular lecture."
What do you think of the facilities?
"All the facilities enhanced my university experience, but what I like the most is the fact that the library is open 24/7. I believe that we have one of the best Students' Union in the country, and I can say that confidently because I have friends who are currently studying in other universities all across the UK."
How do you feel that you have grown personally as well as academically at NTU?
"I feel that I have grown tenfold since I started university. I am more independent and self-sufficient. My mind has been trained to think critically, analyse my surroundings, and question their origins.
"I manage my finances, make my own appointments, cook for myself, and more. I feel like an adult now. There is a lot I still need to learn but I have definitely come very far."
When you first came, did you feel welcome?
"When I first came, I was very homesick as I had never left home before. Seeing so many people in an unfamiliar place was scary at first but to my surprise, everyone was very welcoming. During Welcome Week, I went to some of the barbecues hosted by NTU societies and took part in the walking tour that was organised by students."
In what way are you supported by the academic staff in your faculty?
"The teachers are very helpful and understanding. As I'm not the only international student in class, they cater the lecture to all students and not just people from the UK. They always encourage discussions and debates in class."
What do you enjoy most about living in Nottingham?
"It's very different seeing pictures of places on paper, and then seeing them in real life. Nottingham was a very nice surprise. It is a cheap place to live in compared to other cities. The city is multicultural, and you can find people from all over the world thanks to its large student population. The city itself is beautiful and self-sufficient, and well-connected to other cities in the UK."
What has been your greatest achievement at NTU?
"I won the British Council's GREAT India undergraduate scholarship in my first year at NTU."
What advice would you give to prospective students?
"I would recommend NTU to everyone, I have never met anyone who second guesses their decision to come here. If they have the right course, everyone loves it. Studying is hard, even if it is your favourite subject. NTU challenges you at every step, but in a good way."
Choosing just one subject to study at university can be a challenge! If you're stuck weighing up different subjects, a joint honours course could be the ideal solution!

After figuring out what exactly is working you up, you can create a list of your top triggers and then work on eliminating them if possible, or at least changing your reactions.
It's been proven time and time again that one of the best ways to relieve stress is by being healthy. Whether it's going for a walk, taking a yoga class, staying away from treats like doughnuts and getting a good night's rest, taking care of your body is one of the most common and effective ways to reduce stress in your life.
I find that when I'm healthiest in my life, I have the least amount of stress.
Whether it's in the home or at the workplace, disorganization is one of the most common stress triggers. After all, it's frustrating when you can never find that one thing you're looking for. That's why you should not only straighten up your home or office, but develop a system to keep it organized. Woman's Day has 100 Organizing Tips that you should check out.
The Association for Psychological Science states that "people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower well-being." To help you get out of this harmful trip, Leo Babauta suggests you create a Do It Now (DIFN) habit. Do your most important task first or only work on a challenging project for 10-minutes.
5. Turn off your phone.
While you can't keep the phone off 24/7, you should have certain times planned throughout the day to keep the phone off for a little piece of mind.
6. Do something that makes you happy.
Between all of your obligations and responsibilities, you may think you no longer have time for the hobbies that used to make you happy. To reduce the stress in your life, make the time to do something pleasurable. It could be something as simple as enjoying your favorite show, taking a nap, going to the movies, talking to a friend, listening to your favorite music, or planning a vacation to your favorite destination.
7. Stop filling up the calendar.
Commitments never end. Between work, your family, social activities and civic duties, you have a full schedule. This becomes a problem when commitments conflict with each other or begin to overrun your life.
If you edit your list of commitments, you will likely notice you suddenly do have some much needed free time, which will help destress your life. We all have the same 24 hours in each day - what are you filling your hours with?
8. Accept people for who they are.
Is there anything more frustrating than a coworker who chews with their mouth open or the spouse who never washes dishes or the neighbor who blasts their music too loudly? No matter how much the people closest in your life add to your stress level, you have to accept them for who they are.
Mark Williams and Danny Penman authors of "Mindfulness: An Eight Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World," suggested on CNN that you perform a 10-finger gratitude exercise everyday. This simply means thinking of 10 things you're grateful for.
Dr. Berman states: "Kissing relieves stress by creating a sense of connectedness, which releases endorphins, the chemicals that counteract stress and depression."
Besides making you happier, lowering your stress level has proven medical benefits. So, grab your favorite book, pucker up, be grateful for what you have, and stop over scheduling yourself. Taking just a few of these steps will lead to a happier, healthier you.

Edited by: Motsieng Mooketsi
Kanana: Lindiwe Ndamase's 7 years of hard worked have finally paid off, she was crowned the new reign Miss North West last year on 10 November at the Carnival City in Gauteng.
She is a "Beauty Pageant Queen", with a modeling career that started in 2013, at a modeling school which was in Flimedia by then.
The Galaxy Models School groomed her and says, "she's humbled because it has made her who she is today". For Lindiwe, the career started off as a hobby but eventually became a passion and what she wanted and loved.
Having grew up in the township of Kanana, holds many great amd unforgettable childhood memories for her. And proudly says it is most definetly one of the best highlights in her life.
"It feels so unreal now , when walking in the streets of Kanana and Klerksdorp and being recognized and noticed for doing great in the community".
The beauty queen wants nothing more than to bring change the community she lives in. She wants to continue inspiring girls and boys that look up to her, to know that it is very much possible if you believe and are focused.
Before recently winning the biggest competition of her life, she won "Miss Prime SA Teen 2nd Princess 2016, Miss North West Teen 2nd Princess 2016, Miss Winter Classic 2017 and Miss Royal Queen 2017" around, and outside the North West Province.
She has become a public figure and is still trying to let everything sink in, because the title has earned her a status and now frequently, she gets, texts and calls daily from strangers telling her how much of an inspiration she is to them.
Lindiwe Ndamase continues to be honored and humbled by all this experience, admitting that it wasn't an easy competition, but! she gave it her everything, and drew strength from the support she received from everyone, which was nothing short of amazing.
"I am so excited and hyped for 2019 because i will have the opportunity to actually serve my community and help out where I can".
"My message to all the youth looking up to me, keep your head up high. What's meant to be will always be. Believe in yourself before anything else and your dreams. And most of all stay strong and positive at all time".
She thanked her mom, Suzan Ndamase, big family, friends and everyone at church, Roman Catholic Family. "The support and love is appreciated. To everyone on social a "BIG THANK YOU!". I don't know you all personally but I appreciate the love. Please continuing on supporting my journey because I am who I am today because of all of you".

Since the pants feature an elastic waist band and run true to size, I would recommend XS or S. Most XS sizes are 0-2 and S being 2-4, etc.
Hi! I'm trying to determine if xs will work for me. I wear size 26 in most denim and size 2 pants (Caron Callahan Stewart pants for example). Do you think I can fit in these in xs? Thank you!
I'm interested in buying the tuxedo in L... what is the hip measurement?


The new Danish film sheds light on 18th-century historical lessons.
It's a shame that the new Danish movie, "A Royal Affair," has such a frothy, frou-frou title. It makes one think of some Audrey Hepburn vehicle from the 50s, or, more recently, the tabloid-y story of Prince Charles, Diana, and Camilla.
In fact, the film is somber and thought-provoking, closely chronicling actual historical events in the late 18th century, as the ideas of the Enlightenment were sweeping through Denmark and all of Europe. The film is thus a mediation on social reform, and how it works–and how it doesn't work. And that's something to ponder in the 21st century as well.
"Royal Affair," helmed by the Danish director Nikolaj Arcel, could well have been called "Reflections on the Top-Down Revolution in Denmark," with apologies, of course, to Edmund Burke's 1790 Reflections on the Revolution in France.
Indeed, "Royal Affair" wrestles with the questions that Burke also wrestled with, during both his life as an active politician–he served in Parliament for two decades–and as an intellectual observer. When confronted by the problem of an oppressive and reactionary regime, what does one do about it? How to begin the challenge of improving it?
For instance, does the would-be change-agent seek gentle reform? Or should he seek radical transformation? If one seeks too little, the people continue to suffer, and the nation as a whole languishes in benighted torpor. Yet if one seeks too much, the resulting clefts in the old order could allow new and thuggish elements to rise up and seize power. Or, perhaps, an equally thuggish backlash could come from champions of the old order. Either way, ill-considered change could bring about the negation of progress, perhaps even dissolving the realm into chaos or subjecting it to a foreign invader.
Moreover, if the change-agent is himself full of foibles, that's a problem as well. And if he's a foreigner, that's an even bigger problem. We might note that these are more than just points in an historical movie; these are points of current practical politics–because every day, Americans seem to be seeking to reform not only their own country, but also much of the rest of the world. In other words, domestic and international "nation builders" might do well to see the film; hopefully, they will find it both discomforting and instructive.
After all, over the last decade, high-hoped Americans have tried, with mixed degrees of success, to stimulate the domestic economy through various imperfect mechanisms. And overseas, our efforts have been even more ambitious; we have sought to bring the blessings of reform and liberty–using the military and money–to lands as diverse as Afghanistan, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, Libya, and Egypt. And oh yes, we are now trying to midwife a democratic revolution in Syria.
The nature of man is intricate; the objects of society are of the greatest possible complexity; and therefore no simple disposition of direction of power can be suitable either to man's nature or to the quality of his affairs.
When I hear the simplicity of contrivance aimed at and boasted of in any new political constitutions, I am at no loss to decide that the artificers are grossly ignorant of their trade, or totally negligent of their duty.
Now back to the tragic hero of "Royal Affair," Johann Friedrich Struensee (1737-1772). Struensee is an actual historical figure who could have benefited from Burkean wisdom. A German-born doctor, he became the personal physician to Denmark's King Christian VII, who inherited the Copenhagen throne as a teenager in 1766 and reigned until his death in 1808.
And it was during these decades that the revolutions of 1776 and 1789 were shuddering ancient regimes throughout the world, threatening kings, queens, and all aristocratic traditions.
Political and military revolutions do indeed tend to be remembered. Yet we must remember, too, the intellectual ferment that preceded such upheavals: the 18th-century reformist spirit of the Enlightenment, the movement of science and hoped-for rationality spearheaded on the European continent by such figures as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot. All of these consequential figures, we might note, are alluded to in the film. Indeed, the Enlightenment-inspired events of "Royal Affair" preceded the battles of Lexington & Concord, not to mention the storming of the Bastille.
Meanwhile, in late 18th-century Denmark, Christian VII had proven himself too insane to rule. And even though his wife, the English-born Caroline, a cousin of George III, was herself full of Enlightenment ideas, she had no power on her own, other than to bear children.
So enter Struensee, an avowed man of the Enlightenment. Parlaying his influence over the king, Struensee made himself de facto regent of the kingdom. The German doctor became an ardent reformer, making full use of the king's writ to issue a flurry of modernizing decrees. He abolished censorship, shrank the military, improved public health.
Yet at the same time, Struensee the passionate reformer developed another passion; he became the lover of Queen Caroline. And when that royal affair became public, that was his downfall. His reforms had antagonized the royal and clerical elites, but they were popular enough with the bourgeoisie and the masses, and so public goodwill sustained his rule. But when the common folk learned that Struensee–a German, a foreigner–was cuckolding their king, well, that's when his support collapsed.
Thus the political science lesson: Oftentimes, reforms are no better than the reformer; if the reformer is flawed, the reform effort can be brought down. Struensee was removed from power in 1772–and publicly beheaded before a cheering crowd; most his reforms were immediately rescinded. For her part, Queen Caroline was exiled to Germany, where she died a few years later.
Meanwhile, across the North Sea, another king was proving insane: Britain's king, George III, was also mostly mad. Yet happily, the damage to the kingdom from George's madness was compartmentalized; in the century before, the party of Burke, the Whigs, had led the "Glorious Revolution" that had constitutionally limited the monarch's power. In other words, the outcome in Britain was different from that in Denmark.
I do not hesitate to say that the road to eminence and power, from obscure condition, ought not to be made too easy, nor a thing too much of course. If rare merit be the rarest of all rare things, it ought to pass through some sort of probation. The temple of honor ought to be seated on an eminence. If it be opened through virtue, let it be remembered, too, that virtue is never tried but by some difficulty and some struggle.
Some scholars believe that Burke's warning about those arising "from obscure condition" who might attain "eminence and power" is a direct reference to Struensee.
In any case, the larger point is a classically Burkean formulation. In laying out his principles for governance, Burke wasn't laying out precise rules as to who should be picked for eminence or how; he was outlining an approach, an approach to governance. And that's why Burke is so compelling and relevant, more than two centuries later. In our time, we, too, believe that the "temple of honor"–that is, the leadership of a nation–should be home only to the worthy and the eminent.
The second cause was rights for the Irish, who had, he wrote, been "reduced to beasts of burthen" by their English overlords. And the third cause was enforcing minimum standards of good government in colonial India; Burke's specific target was the Governor-General of India, Warren Hastings, regarded by many as corrupt and oppressive. Beginning in 1787, Burke led an effort in Parliament to impeach Hastings, although that impeachment ultimately failed. Yet in each instance, too, we see a caution–perhaps a style that's mostly gone out of style; today's political players are not as deliberate in their declarations.
And so that's why Burke stood where he stood on the fourth great cause of his time, the French Revolution. Burke was prudently favorable to the rights of Americans, Irish, and Indians, but he drew the line at the radical transformation of France by zeal-filled Jacobins.
As O'Brien puts it, whereas many in Britain, including many of Burke's fellow Whigs, possessed great sympathy for the revolution, Burke saw it differently; he was able to grasp immediately "both the immensity and the terrible originality of the French Revolution." In fact, Burke's Reflections was published three years before the Reign of Terror demonstrated to any clear-eyed observer that the French Revolution represented a new and dangerous kind of radicalism, prefiguring, of course, the bloody red tide of the 19th and 20th century.
At the same time, back in Denmark, events were taking a happier turn. A dozen years after the death of Struensee, Christian VII's son, Fredrick, assumed power as regent. And for the next 55 years, as crown prince and then as king, Frederick re-instituted many of Struensee's reforms. Indeed, in some areas, Frederick went even further; he abolished serfdom in 1788–the year before the French Revolution. And since Frederick possessed the legitimacy that Struensee had never possessed, these reforms stuck.
Indeed, during the rule of Frederick VI, Denmark's passage into tolerant and constitutional modernity was assured; to this day, the House of Oldenburg reigns genially over Denmark. That's progress and reform, the way Burke would have wanted it.
And so in our time, the challenge is to find leaders who can think in Burkean terms about making true progress, even as they seek to make mild the mean passions of zealots and mobs. The life of Struensee is an object lesson in how not to proceed–although admittedly, martyrdom makes for good art. By contrast, the life of Frederick VI, the reformist king who kept his wits and his head, provides an excellent template for the enactment of lasting reforms.
If leaders who seek to remake their countries, or the world, whether they aim right or left, were aware of these Danish precedents–the negative precedent of Struensee, and the positive precedent of Frederick–their chances of finding success, and our chances for finding happiness, would be greatly improved. Americans, so often seeking to begin the world over again, would be well served if they studied history through Burke's temperate and time-tested lens.
That the acceptance, (not the actual success), of major reforms should depend upon the perception of virtue of their author is on its face unreasonable. However, while Burke's description of human affairs as being of the greatest possible complexity was meant as a justification for prospective skepticism regarding such reforms it also points to the reason that reforms stand to suffer discredit after the fact from the personal failings of those that produced them. Even after a reform is implemented and some winners and losers are identified it remains impossible to calculate with any confidence if the reform has done more harm than good on the whole. Instead, an uncertain public will decide the matter according to their perception of reform's originators — whether they seem of a trustworthy sort or not. In the fog of vast complications and ambiguities, we are largely dependent upon leaders to not only propose reforms but also to let us know if they have been successful or not.
I think today we have the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg in Denmark.
I see that Meyerbeer, no less, wrote the music for a play (by his brother) called simply Struensee and based upon the Danish rebel's life and death.
In the setting of today's vast complications and ambiguities, we can largely depend upon our leaders to let us know that their predecessors have been woefully unsuccessful, and that rather incessantly.

Abstract: Harpo Marx, née Arthur Marx, was one of the most important harpists in the twentieth century. Although he began as a self-taught musician and never learned to read music, he introduced the harp to millions of people all over the United States and abroad through the Marx Brothers films. Harpo played the harp in eleven out of the thirteen films displaying his unique swing-harp arranging techniques. The purpose of this project is to preserve this great artist's legacy as it relates to harpists and to create a guide to arrange and to create works in the style of Harpo Marx. This thesis tracks Harpo's stylistic evolution over his long career in entertainment. It explores the compositional, technical, and performance style of Harpo Marx from his first film to his final commercial recording made just a few months before he died. The pieces that Harpo arranged demonstrate significant and innovative techniques that have been transcribed by the author and compiled in a compendium titled "How to Harpo." This performer's guide will enable modern harpists to apply Harpo's techniques in order to make new arrangements in a Harpo-style.

Writing direction index
This is an index of the all the writing systems on this site arranged by the direction in which they are written. Some writing systems can be written in a number of different directions, others were originally written in various directions but eventually settled on one direction.
Why some writing systems are written in one direction, and others in other directions is a bit of a mystery. It might have something to do with the writing surfaces and implements originally used, fashion, the handedness of the creators of the writing systems, or other factors.
If you have any information or theories about this, please contact me.

*In Arabic numerals are written from left to right.
** In vertical Chinese texts the headings are sometimes written horizontally from right to left across the tops of the columns (see below). This direction is also occasionally used on shop signs.
The following writing systems are written from left to right in vertical lines running from top to bottom:
Old Elamite, Manchu, Mongolian, Oirat Clear Script, Phags-pa, Sogdian, Sutton SignWriting, Uyghur
The following writing systems are written from right to left in vertical lines running from top to bottom:
Chinese, Chữ-nôm, Japanese, Korean, Meroïtic (Hieroglyphic script), Nushu, Tangut (Hsihsia)
Until the 1980s Korean was usually written from right to left in vertical columns. Since then writing from left to right in horizontal lines has become popular, and today the majority of texts are written horizontally.
Chinese is often written vertically in Taiwan, while in China and Singapore it is usually written horizontally.
Vertical and horizontal texts are both used in Japan
The following writing systems are written from right to left in vertical lines running from bottom to top:
Batak, Hanuno'o, Tagbanwa
Tagbanwa is traditionally written in vertical columns running from bottom to top and from left to right, however it is read from left to right in horizontal lines.
The Ancient Berber developed from the Phoenician script and like Phoenician, was originally written from right to left in horizontal lines, but became more commonly written from bottom to top in vertical columns running from right to left.
The following writing systems are written in horizontal lines running alternatively from right to left then left to right. This is called Boustrophedon, which comes from the Greek βους (bous) "ox" + στρεφειν (strefein) "to turn", because it resembles the path an ox makes when plowing field, turning at the end of each row to return in the opposite direction.
Székely-Hungarian Rovás (Hungarian Runes), Linear B, Rongo Rongo, Sabaean
Ancient Egyptian (Hieroglyphic)
The Ancient Egytian Hieroglyphic script was written in any direction the was convenient: horizontally from right to left or left to right or vertically from top to bottom. The arrangement of the glyphs was partly determined by aesthetic considerations. When written horizontally, you can tell the direction of a piece of writing by looking at the way the animals and people are facing: they look towards the beginning of the line.

Chinese can be written from right to left in vertical columns, left to right in horizontal lines, or occasionally right to left in horizontal lines. In Taiwan it is often written vertically, while in China and Singapore it is usually written horizontally. In newspapers and magazines with vertical text, some of the headlines and titles are written horizontally right to left across the top of the main text.
Etruscan was sometimes written in boustrophedon fashion and sometimes from right to left in horizontal lines.
Japanese can be written from right to left in vertical columns or left to right in horizontal lines. Horizontal writing was first used during the Meiji Period (1868-1912) in Western language dictionaries of Japanese. Today both orientations are used.
Ogham
When inscribed on stones, Ogham was written around the edge starting at the bottom left and running upwards then back down the other side. In manuscripts it was written horizontally running from left to right.
Orkhon
Orkhon was written mainly from right to left in horizontal lines, though some inscriptions are written vertically with the letters rotated by 90º. When written vertically, it read from bottom to top and right to left.
In inscriptions, Mayan was written in paired columns zigzagging downwards from left to right. Any faces on the glyphs generally look towards the beginning of the line, as with Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Elsewhere it was usually written horizontally from left to right

Audio is a tad off. Also, no subtitles appeared from the .srt file. I may have done something wrong since it''s my first time. The users guide says to change a setting that isn''t there to correct the audio problem. Seems like this software isn''t supported anymore?

Abbott Laboratories 401(k) Plan Security Breach
Mar 31, 2020 Litigation Developments
A lawsuit filed on behalf of a former Abbott Laboratories 401(k) Plan participant alleges a fiduciary breach by Abbott Labs and the Plan's recordkeeper, Alight Solutions, LLC. More specifically, the defendants are accused of a failure to enforce a security protocol for the plaintiff's accounts as well as failure to communicate changes to the account in concert with known account preferences, thereby allowing $245,000 to be fraudulently distributed from the plaintiff's 401(k) account. The suit claims that Alight Solutions is a fiduciary to the Plan, as Alight exercised control over Plan assets by "directing distributions from participants' accounts, including the unauthorized distributions it allowed" from the participant's account. Further, the lawsuit claims that Alight should have been aware of the possibility of such fraudulent activity, due to "similar prior incidents." The suit alleges that the breach was initiated via the participant website. As a result of incorrect entries of the participant's social security number and birthdate, an impersonator opted to receive a one-time passcode via email, allegedly to the plaintiff's email address. The plaintiff claims that no such email was received, yet the intruder did somehow receive, and was able to successfully change the password and enter SunTrust bank account information for receipt of a distribution. Other infractions allegedly occurred, inclusive of communication of personal information by an Alight customer service representative to the impersonator and advice of a bank account change on the account via regular mail, rather than via email, in accordance with the participant's preference. In between the impersonator's communications with Alight, the plaintiff accessed the account and learned of the distribution. Upon contacting the authorities, an investigation confirmed the fraudulent activity. Subsequent efforts at recovery only included the reimbursement of the tax withheld and an amount recovered from the SunTrust's recovery efforts. Over $136,000 remains outstanding.
