Dishonored became an instant cult classic when it graced the gaming world back in 2012. The Arkane Studios stealth adventure played like a mixture between Skyrim and Assassin's Creed. You led Corvo Attano on a mission for redemption after finding yourself framed for murdering the empress of Dunwall. Dishonored featured excellent stealth-based gameplay, and gave us the ability to "form our own adventure" through a series of epic magical skills and in-game choices. The finished product was a playground of first-person action that had players replaying the adventure over and over to discover hidden secrets and experience new play-styles. Four years later, Arkane Studios has released Dishonored 2, a direct sequel to the original.
It's simply not enough to state that Dishonored 2 is a good sequel. There are many instances throughout gaming history in which sequels and prequels fall far flat from matching the pace and elegance of their predecessors. This is not the case with Arkane Studio's latest release. Dishonored 2 finds a place among the elite, crafting a rare instance in which the epilogue may actually be a much better experience than the original. You'll definitely benefit from playing through the first release, as the newest story is a continuation of Corvo's adventure. That being said, new players should have no problem adapting to the current storyline. There are many nods to the past, but it's easy to understand what is happening. Writers did a great job in creating an experience that feels like an entirely new adventure, while still maintaining a deep connection to Dunwall's past.
At the core, Dishonored 2 plays a lot like its predecessor. You'll still have a lot of fluidity in motion, especially when it comes to sword fighting. It may take you a few moments to get used to the speed at which things move, and you'll need to learn how to effectively dispatch each enemy type. Once you settle in, Dishonored 2 offers one of the most satisfying and rewarding gameplay experiences of the past year. I had a blast in multiple playthroughs, eliminating enemies, and discovering new ways to progress the story. That's the real beauty of Dishonored 2: it allows for so much "customization" in terms of play-style. If you prefer to play the pacifist, you can find non-lethal ways to silence enemies, or you can use an abundance of skills to slip past them. Those that prefer to punish their foes can launch a full-frontal assault, or can assassinate from the shadows. Your decisions will visually affect the game world around you. If you decide to spill blood, expect to see it flooding the waters. Those that commit dark deeds may be followed by hordes of rats. Maintain a non-lethal approach and you'll be rewarded with a "clean" environment. These subtle details make the journey even more entertaining.
Those of you that played the original Dishonored will recall how much freedom you had. Thanks to all of Corvo's spells and abilities, you could find numerous ways to conquer a goal. Dishonored 2 takes this concept to the next level. The stages and areas are wide and expansive, giving the illusion that you're playing in an open world. With all of this new found freedom, you can complete tasks and eliminate targets in a large variety of ways. This is great for replayability, giving you a distinct reason to load up the release even after you've conquered the story. You won't find a "New Game Plus," but Dishonored 2 offers two separate story arcs for you to explore. When you first start the storyline, you'll be given a choice between completing the game as Corvo once more, or taking on the role of his daughter, Emily Kaldwin. Each story is very similar for the most part, but the two characters offer up some subtle differences in gameplay. For example, Corvo will gain access to a blink spell, which will allow him to phase to a specified location. Emily makes use of an ethereal pull ability, allowing her to pull herself to locations, or pull objects and enemies towards her. This small addition gives an even greater reason to play through Dishonored 2 more than once.
There are many things to collect and uncover across the world of Dishonored 2. You'll spend a lot of your time attempting to unlock safes, solve puzzles, and uncover secret areas. Coins can be collected and spent in the "Black Market" to acquire new weapons, traps, potions, and ammo. You can also use these locations to upgrade your items and weaponry. Along the way, you'll gain access to a special item that will uncover special runes, which can be used to upgrade your abilities. Each ability has a unique set of "paths" which will upgrade with specific modifiers. This will allow you to custom tailor each spell and ability to suit your specific play-style. Certain upgrades will allow you to cleave through your enemies, while others will help you hide better within the shadows.
Visually, Dishonored 2 looks very much like its predecessor. The graphics themselves are a bit updated, but the character designs, enemy types, and locations, look very much the same. Dunwall is the "same" city, albeit a bit ragged, and you'll find yourself traveling to other locations with unique setups. There is much beauty to be found in Dishonored 2, and it definitely makes exploring much more entertaining. The sound effects and musical scores are very well done, although some of the voice acting leaves a bit to be desired. Overall, Dishonored 2 is just as fun to look at and listen to, as it is to play.
Arkane Studios did a fantastic job with this release. It's a wonderful sequel and an even better addition to the Stealth genre. I had a fantastic time with this release and I would consider it one of the past year's must-plays. Dishonored 2 is available right now on Xbox One, PC, and Playstation 4.

Helrūna seal
Helrūna is a Scandinavian Nexion of The Black Order founded in Sweden. It was initiated through a group ceremony on the 20 april 128 yf at an ancient site in the Western regions. The site chosen for the birth of the living Nexion and the opening of the physical Nexion was selected to be an ancient labyrinth next to a burial place, once used by the Ostara lodge of the previous Black Order. During the ceremony forces were drawn up from the Underworld and through the Labyrinth center by successful magickal workings. The Blood Banner of The Black Order was present at this group ceremony and a ritual was held to commemorate the birth of the Man Against Time. Helrūna has also held initation ceremonies at the Midwinter solstice in underground caves chosen for the purpose of Initations and transmutation.
The name Helrūna arrives from the Proto-Germanic "haljōrūnô", which is equivalent to Hell or Hel ("underworld") together with "rūna" ("counsellor", "secret, mystery"). It also cognate with Old High German "hellirūna", meaning necromancy or sorcery and possibly Gothic "haljōrūna", meaning witch. A Helrūna is one who is adept in the mysteries of Hell. This means that the order is dedicated to the forces of the Underworld, Hel and the goddess Hela.
The Nexion seal is the Ouroboros encircling a bind-rune of the runes Ear and Yr. Ear is a rune that symbolizes "Death personified" and is closely associated with the Dark Mother Hela. In the Younger Futhark the name Yr means Yew and suggest its association to Eihwaz, thus also meaning the end of man. The bind-rune is connected with Death, Earth and Underworld.
The Helrūna Nexion does especially work to explore the telluric forces in the earth and work with ancient sites connected with burial grounds and labyrinths. Its chosen deity is Hela, but also Odin as the God of Death and transmutation. A series of ancient labyrinths has been worked as Co-Nexions, through acts of group vocalizations and vibrations, direction of force through both spear and crystal. Other tellurian lines has also been studied and used in magickal workings together with other practices such as rune magick, outdoor sitting, pathworkings and meditations at burial sites.

Fonds 211 Codesa School District 4595 fonds
Title: Codesa School District 4595 fonds
Title [parallel]: Brochu School District 4595 fonds
The minutes for Brochu School District begin in 1933 with resolutions to form a school district (H.E. Balfour, official trustee), build furniture and purchase school supplies. A teacher, Mrs. Lucas was hired in 1934 and classes started in the Catholic Church. Sometimes classes were held in a two-room house which was easier to heat. In 1938, J.P. Sauve and John Gilles were official trustees, and in mid 1947, Spirit River School Division had a school built in Codesa. Attendance records were recorded by the following teachers between 1940-1944: A. M. Miller, G.A. Chamberland, I. Brundage and Adele Roy. "Smoky Peace Triangle" records Codesa School 4595, on the SE ¼ -22-78-1 W6 beginning in 1935, but Daily Registers call the district Brochu until 1945. It appears that Codesa was the name of the center where the school was located. The log building which housed the teacher, Miss Adela Roy, burned in 1946 and some students were then bussed to Fox Creek. Charlie Siegfries and Ross McLennan shared the bus driving duties. The school in Codesa still served a number of families until records end in 1956. Teachers keeping registers from 1949-1956 included Louise Rossiter, O.C. Hagen, E. Robertson, Mrs. N. Lambright, and Miss Joan Sather.
The fonds consists of a minute book from 1933-1940 and Daily Registers from 1940-1956.

I don't like homework. It stops people doing what they want to do. Sometimes it doesn't make sense how kids are supposed to learn with it. We also do enough at school. Maybe we should go to school for longer to do our homework at school. Homework is a bad thing especially for people to learn.
Personally I don't think it needs to any more than that Angus. Who I might add has some pretty valid points. I might decide that there is some merit in learning discipline but then I had a hard time accepting that homework was good for me.
Angus; I hope that this was "whole world" enough for you. But just to be sure I'll post it on facebook and share it on twitter as well!
Pretty much sums up twitter up-late. The other thing is that us Aussies must be making an impact on the twitter scene. There is certainly a big contingent of Aussies out there that are twitter nuts, so hop to it and see what you are missing. Or check out the Global Geek Podcast twitter special, all about twitter. We even talk about this very aspect of twitter – the light night twitter goings on from Oz.
Part of why I love twitter.
I am not big on fancy fonts and such but I came across a website this week that had a great top 10 list of what they considered the best fonts of 2006.
It is not that I am against fonts or anything like that, I like a nice font. But fancy unique ones have their limitations. For instance if you have a font installed on your machine you can use it all you like, print a letter with it without any problems. But send a document to someone and they don't have it on theirs and it will bork. They won't see it. Same goes for a web page. It has to be resident on the machine for the user to see it.
One way around this is to create an image that uses the font. But that changes it as well, it is now an image and is treated as such. Creating a header or logo using a fancy font is not so bad because within the html you can edit the text to reflect the content on the page. This raw html of the page is what the web spiders crawl for indexing.
I heard a podcast this week where there were open questions and one podcaster was wondering why her content was not being indexed. It turned out that the whole page of text that she referred to was an image. She wanted the page to look nice and so that the visitors could see it she made the whole block of text an image. Google does not index the content of an image as far as content is concerned. In all honesty I am after content crap can still look good and some of the ugliest web sites have the best content.
I should also mention as a side point that having a massive number of fonts installed is notorious for slowing down your machine. So be picky with what you install and maybe review them once in a while and cull out the ones you don't use any more. Saving them to disk is a great idea as you can always install them again if you ever have the need.
So now that I have trashed fonts… I found this nice collection of fonts this week. The Best Fonts of 2006. While I am not sure what the best is based on they are a nice collection. They are from a site called MyFonts and I would suggest that these are what they consider to be the best fonts as opposed to being judged or voted on. You can see the whole collection as an alphabet and you can purchase them if you wish. Must be hard to develop fonts because the ones I looked at range in price from $19.00 to $40.00. But they have some great specials as low as 10 bucks! Cool. What is the going rate for a font anyway? Still worth it if you are after something unique in my opinion.
Looks like a great site by the way lots of fonts and styles to suit anything that you would want to do, 52,454 at last count. I really liked the "more like this" feature that selects fonts based on the one you are looking at. These fonts definitely have a place for the designer and artist. But remember that they have a place and more importantly when and where you shouldn't be using them.
It is true that pictures and diagrams can say a lot more than words can at times. A flow of ideas and thoughts, related concepts or how-to diagrams are very effective. But they are problematic to make. Ever tried to produce one? Don't bother because with bubbl.us you can do it for free on-line.
A couple of gripes but minor are that while the contextual help is excellent the text is way too small. I also found that the drag and dropping of "bubbles" is not as precise as I would like. A bit of persistence pays off here and you eventually get it where you want it. Apparently you can print your creations but I could not see a "print" button.
I would have liked to have seen these promised features included before release as they may set them apart somewhat from other similar services. I would also like to see custom colours and fonts to be available. This would be great for creating a chart that will match your blog or presentation. Be cool to be able to publish them or send the finished product to someone as well.
I like the speed at which you can add thoughts or bubbles and then being able to edit them later. A very good way to get ideas down in a visual way to refer to later. Maybe create some mind maps for articles or a project. Or just brainstorm a how-to; add the steps at random as you remember them. Then go back and order and arrange the diagram that you want to use. Deleting bubbles is very easy and does not cause a "chain" effect on the others.
Nice site and the presentation is well executed. Include the promised features and you have a very cleaver on-line application that would have a myriad of uses and benefits. Slick interface and intuitive to use. Be nice to see some more collaborative type features. Results look great but could be improved with some minor adjustments. I would commend bubbl.us on the ability to preview the service without account creation, the way it should be done.
I was reading an article about AdSence optimisation, the case at hand was about Guy Kawasaki's personal blog, How to Change the World. The fact that his blog had traffic that ranges in the millions and yet generated relatively little revenue as a result. The entry goes on to talk about optimising layout for the best ad revenue result.
That would have to be so far from the truth as far as I am concerned (referring to myself that is). The pattern that I take when reading a blog is this. I usually read any blog from my RSS reader. Generally I don't open up links in my reader as it uses Internet Explorer as the shell. There are at least 284 reasons why I don't use IE.
So I open the link up in Firefox and take a look. Lets assume it is a blog. I skim read it, never read anything in full anyway. Plus I speed read most things as I have to get through about 3000 articles a week. The content falls into one of two categories. One, a good blog worthy of further attention. Two, good for the primary reference but not going to be a source of primary information around my interests.
Any blog that falls into the first category, I will go straight for the RSS button, feed link or whatever to subscribe. I then go back to the Feed Reader. Especially, since that is what opens up now with feed support in Firefox 2. I then finish the subscribing process and continue either reading the blog or what I was doing before the diversion. I may never visit the blog website address ever again and often don't.
So for me the whole ad placement optimisation is wasted. I can not remember when I last clicked on an ad anyway, either on a blog or in an RSS feed. In addition to this I just don't like reading blogs from the homepage. I am used to reading RSS, I like it. RSS might be ugly but it is the useful information without the crap and yes that includes ads. Anyway they don't call it Really Simple Syndication for nothing.
One other thing I would ad is the fact that the blog reading demographic is such that I am surprised that advertising to this group is even effective. They are usually a tech savvy crowd that are far less inclined to click on any advertising. The reputation that advertising has is enough of a deterrent for anyone in my opinion.
But then again these techniques must be effective for bloggers to be talking about and they are mentioned a lot. So who then is it aimed at? I just know that it is lost on me, I am the valued religious reader that gives your subscriptions a boost. Personally I really value these readers as they are the ones that are genuinely interested in what you are saying.
In summary, I am not your average blog reader, given the above description. I am also not saying that these techniques do not work, they must. I would also question the target audience, is it the average blog surfer or reader or is it the accidental tourist? Or does this whole thing mean that I am not average and the argument is pointless? What are you or who are you?
Leo Laporte is using the term "netcast" in his podcast. So much so that he is using it in the intro to his show!
This is going to be a short post. Not from me mate, I host a podcast, Okay. The term "netcast" is bloody awful and I swear I will never use the term in reference to my podcast.
Drop it Leo, I hate it and I think there are others that agree.
Am I on my own here?
So basically the term has no future what so ever. Leo is suggesting a term that is already trademarked and could end up getting sued himself!
Rumours are flying that Google and YouTube are talking turkey. Or is it just hype?
Google is probably one of the few Internet heavy-weights capable of pulling it off. The 1.6 billion dollar price tag is out of my reach, but not Google. In addition to the price tag you would have to assess your ability to pay the 2 million dollar bandwidth bill every month. So in part it makes sense when Google has the infrastructure and the capital to prop up YouTube. However, there are other considerations that any investor is going to have to think about before signing on the dotted line, such as profitability and copyright problems that seem to follow YouTube like the plague.
Seems a little misguided as you need to be trying to make money in order to be labeled unprofitable. I have long maintained that YouTube is making poor effort on this front, great for users not much good for paying the bills. Without a doubt YouTube has huge potential for profit and marketing opportunity. With over 100,000 downloads per day, excluding straight "hits" to the homepage; there has to be the potential to be profitable. With Google's extensive advertising base they have the tools, knowledge and skills to make it happen. Perhaps where there has been no substantial business model Google sees "virgin" opportunity and dollars, maybe enough to fight off the lawyers that will turn up.
Investors are going to be more than cautious about snapping up YouTube if it means inheriting a lawsuit for millions of dollars. Having said that they also inherit a deal with Times Warner that could lead to bigger and better things. I'd love to put that into perspective but the details are still a big secret.
So rumour it might be at present, but that is my take on what it all might mean and only time will tell as to if Google will shake on any deal with YouTube.
Check out The Global Geek Podcast this week as we touch on YouTube and it's future.


This thrilling, fascinating collection of Hunger Games facts and photos is sure to surprise the experts and make fans out of the haters.
This is it: the final showdown. Today, The Hunger Games saga will reach its climactic end with the release of its final film installment, Mockingjay Part 2. Over the past seven years, The Hunger Games novel series has sold over 65 million copies in the U.S. alone, with all three books topping the New York Times bestseller list. Likewise, the three films have grossed over $2 billion combined, all topping the box office charts.
For mass games involving children that may be even more terrifying than The Hunger Games, check out the unbelievable things that happen in North Korea. And for a compilation of the best performances by The Hunger Games star Philip Seymour Hoffman, take a look at this video countdown.


The last book in this series left me in a lot of suspense, anxious for the characters well-being. This book did not do much to alleviate my concerns. Sure, some of my fears were allayed, but I'm still fairly certain the characters are in dire peril. I'm pretty sure my heart rate was elevated the entire time I was reading this book.
In spite of my elevated heart rate, this book didn't seem to have that much action. It actually felt like it was mostly character building, which for this story makes perfect sense, even though this is the fifth book in the series, because Kat is basically being rebuilt. Don't get me wrong, there is still action, fighting is part of her training, but the action takes a backseat to Kat's personal development. The lack of action made this a bit of a slower read for me because I didn't feel quite as compelled to find out what happened next as I would have with more action. I did enjoy delving into Katerina's development though. It always gave me a slight thrill when she attained noticeable improvement with her skills or got one over on other soldiers.
There was a point in the story where I felt like Kat was being a bit overly emotional, her reactions just a little over the top, but that is likely because I'm a bit hard-hearted by nature where personal relationships are concerned, so I just couldn't really relate on a personal level.

London Landmark To Be Lit Up To Mark World War One Centenary
Published 11:43, 04 November 2018 GMT
| Last updated 17:54, 04 November 2018 GMT
World War One claimed at least 18 million lives between 1914 and 1918, making it one of the bloodiest battles in world history.
As we approach the 100 year anniversary of the date the war ended - the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918 - the Tower of London is set to mark this significant centenary by illuminating its moat with 10,000 flames.
In a trial run last night, the Tower's trained Yeoman Warders (or as many know them, Beefeaters) lit the flames to ensure it would work ahead of the main event tonight.
The ceremony is a touching tribute to the sacrifice made by those who lost their lives during the First World War.
The installation, entitled The Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers, will see the fires lit-up every night in the week running up to Armistice day.
Designer Tom Piper, who helped to create the display whereby the moat was filled with 888,246 ceramic poppies back in 2014, is behind the latest tribute.
Working with a sound artist, the spectacle will be accompanied by a specially commissioned sound installation featuring choral music and words from war poet Mary Borden's Sonnets to a Soldier.
A spokesperson for the Historic Royal Palaces, the organisation responsible for maintaining the Tower of London, told the Evening Standard that many of the volunteers who helped out with the poppy installation are also getting involved with the light display, and many have a family connection to the war.
General the Lord Houghton, Constable of the Tower of London, added: "The First World War claimed the lives of over 18 million people across the globe.
"We remembered them at the Tower on the anniversary of the start of the war, and it feels equally appropriate that we should again commemorate their sacrifice 100 years after hostilities came to an end.

"Many of the Tower community have served in the Armed Forces, and it is important for us to ensure that those who lived, served, fought and died during this time continue to be remembered, and that the lessons from these conflicts continue to be shared."
If you'd like to commemorate those who lost their lives during the war, head on down to the Tower of London to witness the spectacle, which will take place between 5pm and 9pm, starting tonight and continuing each evening until Sunday 11 November.
You can see the installation for free from Tower Hill and the Tower concourse, or you can buy tickets to see it up close in the moat and experience the moving sound installation.

Paradigm Laid Off Around 30 From Ranks On Friday
Simon Cowell Retains High-Profile Hollywood Lawyer Amid 'America's Got Talent' Investigation
By Anita Bennett, Dominic Patten
Simon Cowell is beefing up his legal team amid NBC's investigation into Gabrielle Union's complaints of a "toxic" workplace culture at America's Got Talent.
Cowell — who created the series and serves as an executive producer — retained Los Angeles-based litigator Larry Stein late last week, a source close to the matter confirmed to Deadline Saturday.
This latest development comes after Union said Wednesday on Twitter that she had a "productive" five-hour meeting with NBC brass over her firing from the series.
"I was able to, again, express my unfiltered truth. I led with transparency and my desire and hope for real change," she announced in a statement on Twitter.
Following the meeting, Deadline exclusively reported that NBC was launching a "further investigation to get a deeper understanding of the facts." According to a show insider, a significant portion of Union's meeting with the network revolved around what was described as Cowell's acerbic behavior.
Gabrielle Union Voices Support For Ousted Recording Academy CEO Deborah Dugan
"The ball is in NBC's court to see if they can get Cowell to agree to make some changes to the way things are done on the show," the insider said.
SAG-AFTRA has also launched an investigation into the environment at AGT.
Union's contract was terminated last month after she served as a judge on the series for one season. The Being Mary Jane actress had spoken out about "problematic" and racially insensitive segments on the show before she was let go. Fellow judge Julianne Hough was dropped after one season as well, although the actress and dancer said in a statement that she had "a wonderful time" on the show and will continue her "working relationship with NBC."
As the drama surrounding AGT continued to make headlines this week, former judges Sharon Osbourne and Howard Stern chimed in.
Stern posed a question on his SiriusXM radio show Monday about Union's firing, asking: "How is it that that freak Simon Cowell has orchestrated this?" He then charged the show and Cowell with sexist double-standards.
"He has set it up that the men stay," Stern added, "no matter how old they are, no matter how fat they are, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how talentless they are. But what he manages to do on all his shows is he constantly replaces the hot chicks with hotter chicks and younger chicks. Which is so obvious."
Meanwhile, Osbourne – who spent six years as a judge on the series — said AGT is run like a "boys club."
"It is a boys club, okay, it is," Osbourne said Tuesday on The Talk. "And the boys take care of each other, and the women are not paid as much as the men."
Variety first reported details on Cowell's new legal team.

2022 FNR News & Stories
Intro to Trees of Indiana: Blue Beech
Forestry & Natural Resources
Story by Wendy Mayer
The classic and trusted book "Fifty Common Trees of Indiana" by T.E. Shaw was published in 1956 as a user-friendly guide to local species. Nearly 70 years later, the publication has been updated through a joint effort by the Purdue Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Indiana 4-H, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and reintroduced as "An Introduction to Trees of Indiana."
The full publication is available for download for $7 in the Purdue Extension Education Store. The field guide helps identify common Indiana woodlot trees.
Each week, the Intro to Trees of Indiana web series will offer a sneak peek at one species from the book, paired with an ID That Tree video from Purdue Extension forester Lenny Farlee to help visualize each species as it stands in the woods. Threats to species health as well as also insight into the wood provided by the species, will be provided through additional resources as well as the Hardwoods of the Central Midwest exhibit of the Purdue Arboretum, if available.
This week, we introduce the Blue Beech or Carpinus caroliniana.
The blue beech, also known as the American hornbeam, musclewood or the water beech, is an understory tree that stands out due to its gray bark and striations that resemble muscles and sinews as well as its doubly toothed leaves.
The small tree, which typically grows to a height of 20 to 35 feet, has oblong leaves with doubly toothed leaf margins, arranged alternately on very fine twigs. Lower leaf veins are seldom forked. The fruit is in clusters, consisting of small, seed-like nuts on small, three-lobed leaves. It's bark and fruit help differentiate blue beech from its close relative, the ironwood.
Blue beech's natural range is the majority of the midwestern and eastern United States, reaching as far south as Texas.
Blue beech can be used an ornamental tree in urban parks and large backyards. According to the University of Minnesota's Extension, the wood can be used for tool handles, although due to the small statue of the tree it is not practical for commercial harvesting.

In 2013, Nakouzi cofounded The Dialogue Chronicle, a politics and humor blog staffed entirely by activist writers. The Dialogue Chronicle became the first property under Make Sense Productions, Nakouzi's video production company established in 2014.
Following death threats for his involvement in Lebanon's 2009 Parliamentary elections, Nakouzi emigrated from Lebanon to the United States, taking with him DeFacto Productions, a Beirut established and licensed production company founded by Nakouzi. DeFacto Productions formed a partnership with the recently re-launched MurrTV, owned and chaired by businessman Michel Murr. The MurrTV/DeFacto Productions partnership is incorporated under Studiovision Inc. Together, MurrTV and DeFacto Productions consistently receive high levels of viewership and ratings in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.
As a senior political anchor and activist, Nakouzi has participated in the electoral process of several countries within the Middle East. In 2009, Nakouzi presented a program on Al-Arabiya TV dedicated to covering the Lebanese Parliamentary elections. The program soon expanded to become the focal point for information concerning the elections. Nakouzi's program provided daily updates on campaign and candidate information in an easily accessible manner for all Lebanese voters.
Many observers leading up to the 2009 Lebanese Parliamentary elections predicted sweeping wins by Hezbollah and Hezbollah-affiliated candidates. However, such a Hezbollah victory did not occur in 2009. Many credit a combination of media and advertising campaigns, to which Nakouzi contributed, as the decisive factor allowing the March 14 Alliance to capture 71 of the 128 seats in the Lebanese Parliament.
However such political involvement on the side of the secular March 14th Alliance produced a backlash among Islamist organizations in Lebanon. In the wake of the 2009 parliamentary elections, political violence and a string of assassinations broke out in Beirut. Nakouzi and his colleagues that had been involved with the elections soon found themselves targeted by Hezbollah in Lebanon. Concerned for his personal safety and that of his family, Nakouzi immigrated to the United States in 2010.
The events of 2009 were not the first time Nakouzi's work had put his life in danger. While with Al-Arabiya TV, Nakouzi introduced a debate-style concept between electoral candidates of the newly reconstituted government of Iraq. His political work in Iraq soon saw him declared an infidel by Al-Qaeda. As a result, the Al-Arabiya Bureau in Baghdad was bombed, killing dozens of his colleagues. He was officially declared the target of this attack.
From 2007 to 2009, Nakouzi hosted Besaraha, which in Arabic translates to "Frankly Speaking". Besaraha consistently secured interviews with many prominent world leaders and provided in depth conversation from viewpoints not widely expressed in mainstream Middle Eastern media. Besaraha was positively received within the Middle East and holds the record for most heads of state interviewed in one year by any Arabic news outlet.
In 2007, Nakouzi became the first Arab news anchor to interview U.S. President George W. Bush. The interview lasted for 60 minutes and was conducted at various locations throughout the White House: beginning in the Oval Office, continuing through the Rose Garden, and concluding in the Map Room. During the interview, Nakouzi and Bush discussed the current state of affairs in the Middle East and Bush's hope for the future of the region. Set amidst the backdrop of the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, this interview allowed audiences within the Middle East to understand the positions of the United States in contrast with the opinions usually presented in mainstream Middle Eastern media.
Following the closure of MurrTV, Nakouzi accepted a position with Al-Arabiya TV as an anchor for the From Iraq program in 2003. The Dubai-based Al-Arabiya TV was established on March 23, 2003 as a direct competitor to the Al-Jazeera network. Launched during the Iraq War of 2003, From Iraq focused on security issues as well as political and social realities in Iraq at the time. With a weekly interview of influential political players in Iraq, From Iraq focused on the former Iraqi regime's human rights abuses, the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, and the country's future. From Iraq ran from 2003 to 2006.
In 1997, Nakouzi became the senior anchor at MurrTV's Take a Stand program. At its core, Take a Stand addressed reforming the loss of civic values that resulted from the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, including promoting democratic values and ending human rights abuses. From 1998, a year after Nakouzi began, until 2002, when he left, Take a Stand became the top rated political commentary show in Lebanon. Eventually, as with Parliament of the Youth, Nakouzi and Take a Stand ran afoul of Syrian officials, and MurrTV was forcibly shut down in 2002.
Nakouzi began his career as a presenter on Parliament of the Youth, a program hosted by Radio Voice of Lebanon, in 1990. In 1993, he became anchor of a reproduction of Parliament of the Youth, made for ICN Network. Although ICN network was shut down in 1994, Nakouzi soon began work as a senior anchor with the LBC (Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation) in 1994 which allowed him to continue to address issues directly related to the Syrian invasion of Lebanon.
Elie Nakouzi (born July 14, 1969) is a television broadcaster and presenter in the Middle East with over 20 years of experience in Middle East broadcasting. He has interviewed on Arabic television U.S. President George W. Bush, UK Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Pakistani General Pervez Musharraf, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, and Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir. Nakouzi was one of the founding journalists of MurrTV, which was closed in Lebanon for 7 years by the Syrian occupying authorities before re-launching in 2009. He is currently the Washington, D.C. bureau chief for MurrTV.

How to keep all of the profits from selling your house without paying thousands in taxes.
When selling a house, one thing to consider is the capital gains tax. Capital gains is the profit you make from selling a home. If you haven't lived in your house for two years, you will have to pay the capital gains tax on the sale of your house which is anywhere from 0%-20% depending on the sale price of your home.
Even though the closing attorney is aware of this, he actually represents the buyer during the closing process, therefore will not stop a closing to inform the seller to wait a few more days for the capital gains tax to pass.

The post-Civil War Industrial Age brought fundamental changes to the economy and its workers, forcing Americans to reassess the meaning of life and death. This illuminating study of working-class rituals of dying and the politics of death explores how Americans struggled to understand the broader forces transforming their worlds. The book investigates working people's beliefs, rituals of death and dying, and the politics of death by honing in on three overarching questions: How did workers, their families, and their communities experience death? Did various identities of class, race, gender, and religion coalesce to form distinct cultures of death for working people? And how did people's attitudes toward death reflect notions of who mattered in U.S. society? Drawing from an eclectic array of sources ranging from Andrew Carnegie to grave markers in Chicago's potter's field, the book portrays the complex political, social, and cultural relationships that fueled the United States' industrial ascent. The result is an undertaking that adds emotional depth to existing history while challenging our understanding of modes of cultural transmission.

Barockoper in Leipzig (1693–1720) (review)
Tanya Kevorkian
Music Library Association
Barockoper in Leipzig (1693–1720)
Barockoper in Leipzig (1693–1720). By Michael Maul. 2 vols. (Rombach Wissenschaften, Reihe Voces, Bd. 12.) Freiburg im Breisgau: Rombach, 2009. [1184 p. ISBN 9783793095842. €128.] Music examples, illustrations, bibliography, index.
In this massive dissertation, Michael Maul makes a major contribution to placing Leipzig on the map of well-researched centers of baroque secular music. Maul's stated goal (p. 33) is to provide a basis for further research on the Leipzig opera by assessing the hitherto known historiography and source situation, to find and assess new sources, to give an impression of scores, and to determine the names of composers, librettists, and producers. Maul goes well beyond this, however, by reconstructing important aspects of German baroque musical culture more generally. Research institutions and music schools should acquire this book; other libraries will also find it useful.
Maul's method is to keep an eye first and foremost on sources about a particular aspect of the history of the Leipzig Opera, and to build a discussion on the basis of those sources. In the process, he provides a thorough review of the previous state of research and of new discoveries, identifying possible authors and composers of hitherto unattributed works, as well as those participating in their stagings. His discussions sometimes seem too exhaustive; but there is an intelligent and well-informed thought process at work on almost every page of the text, and it is interesting to follow his detective work even when one is not particularly interested in a particular issue.
Research on J. S. Bach informs Maul's approach in different ways. Maul is based at the Leipzig Bach-Archiv, an important collaborative research center. His job there has involved traveling to archives and libraries around central Germany in search of new sources relating to Bach. That search, which has produced important new finds, helped give him a familiarity with sources, places, and research methods, which is a huge asset to this text. The dissertation's first section, on sources, is arguably the most original, as Maul follows leads to repositories and figures both wellknown and obscure. Further, two prevailing [End Page 302] assumptions of much Bach research are carried over to this subject: first, that any fact, however minor, is worth determining and weighing; and second, that informed speculation can help one build at least possible scenarios.
The book is structured as follows. The introduction sets up the Leipzig opera house as being of at least the same artistic quality as its much better researched Hamburg counterpart, and reviews the existing literature. Maul's huge database of roughly five thousand aria incipits derived from the libretti of Leipzig operas guided him in his search through numerous archives, libraries, and published song collections; he was thus able to find no fewer than three hundred previously unidentified arias, including many by Telemann. The first section (about 150 pages) discusses sources, first libretti and then scores. Maul has to work around the lack of an opera archive or even its remnants, as well as the loss of most scores. However, he establishes the authorship of virtually every libretto from the Leipzig Opera during that period, as well as the identities of most singers from 1703 to 1709. He also discusses his discovery of numerous new arias. Maul continues with a running assessment of many other sources in the course of the book. Since so little music survives, most of the book deals with nonmusical sources, although there is some musical analysis when possible and appropriate.
The second section (about 120 pages) tells the institutional history of the opera house. Here Maul is able to build on existing studies, but also finds new information, especially in the Leipzig city archive. This is the least original section, and Maul sticks very close to the immediate institutional history of the house. However, the story is clearly told, and the intense conflict of the post-1700 period among the heirs of founder Nicholas Adam Strungk and others, the chronic indebtedness of the enterprise, and the growing physical decrepitude of the house, which neighbors and city councilors came to fear could be blown over by a...


IT'S ALWAYS BEEN obvious that Hillary as president is just fine with the neocons. After all, she voted for the Iraq war and was instrumental in the disaster in Libya. She supported sending arms to Syrian rebels and likened Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, to Hitler. She wholeheartedly backs Israel, and has her own set of rabidly pro-Israel foreign policy advisers, especially Robert Kagan who advocates military intervention and democracy creation throughout the Middle East as a moral imperative — exactly the ideology that led the US into the disastrous Iraq war. Clinton's main donor is Haim Saban, a rabid Zionist who has said that his only issue is Israel.
Obviously, Bill Kristol (pictured) and the neocons would not lose any sleep if Hillary Clinton became president.
In fact, I suspect they would prefer Hillary to any Republican candidate except Marco Rubio who has the ideal blend of subservience to neocon foreign policy and support for liberal social policy on issues like immigration. Rubio is bought and paid for by the Israel Lobby (especially Paul Singer and Norman Braman) and is now the establishment favorite.
On the other hand, Donald Trump opposed the Iraq war, calling it a "complete disaster" and, even more amazingly, stating, "They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction and there were none. And they knew there were none. There were no weapons of mass destruction." Trump has also supported Vladimir Putin's policy of propping up the Assad government in Syria. As is well known, Assad and Putin are very high on the neocon hate list. He has told the Republican Jewish Coalition that he didn't want their money because with their money comes control and he has pledged to be neutral on the Israel-Palestine issue.
Because of this blatant conflict with neocon foreign policy, neocons like Bill Kristol have been in the lead of floating third-party candidates to run against him should he get the GOP nomination.
BILL KRISTOL: Right, so we have to stop the momentum, I totally agree.
SCARBOROUGH: So that's my question. There's no cheering here. I am looking at facts.
SCARBOROUGH: So how do you beat him?
So the main thing is to deny Trump the nomination, even if it costs the GOP the election and results in four more years of the left being in charge. Four more years of not sealing the border, and four more years of maximizing legal immigration and the numbers of "refugees." Four more years of unbridled political correctness in the media and in universities, and aggressive BLM-type protests against the police.
And four more years of liberal Supreme Court appointments, which would likely result in a revolution in the law on the First and Second Amendments and in many other areas, starting with replacing Antonin Scalia with a liberal. Intellectual rationales for curtailing speech critical of the multicultural ideal are already common in liberal academic circles, awaiting only one more liberal appointment to the Supreme Court. Hillary Clinton would be only too happy to make that appointment.
Neocons like Kristol are proud to call themselves "principled conservatives" but what kind of principled conservative could open the gates to the disaster of a Hillary Clinton presidency? What conservative principles could possibly survive a Hillary Clinton presidency? Kristol is proposing a nuclear option of denying the most popular GOP candidate the nomination — an option that would destroy the GOP as millions of Trump supporters stay home seething in anger, waiting for the next populist moment. Or they would vote for Donald Trump running as a third party candidate because, as Trump would likely argue, the machinations of the GOP elites denied him a nomination that should rightfully have been his. In either case, Hillary Clinton is the next president.
It is noteworthy that neoconservatism produced no revolutions in domestic policy, only in foreign policy. Heilbrunn's book reflects this, since he spends a tiny percentage of the book on domestic issues, the rest on foreign policy. There is little question that from its beginning, foreign policy was the area that excited the passion of the neocons, with domestic policy pretty much an afterthought. And it's quite clear that Heilbrunn doesn't even believe that the neocons are sincere about many of their stated beliefs on domestic issues.
Indeed, the general impression one gets is that the neocons adopted positions on domestic policies in order to win influence within the Republican Party and then used their influence to further their foreign policy agenda. As a result, domestic policies were never the focus of the intense pressure that neocons were able to muster for their foreign policy initiatives.
For example, Heilbrunn notes that Bill Kristol "made it a particular point to attack homosexuality, even participating in a conference at Georgetown University about 'curing' gays of their supposed pathology. It is hard to imagine that Kristol himself harbors any real prejudice against gays. Politically, however, it remained a highly effective wedge issue" (p. 213).
Similarly, although not mentioned by Heilbrunn, the neocons jumped on the bandwagon when illegal immigration became an issue, although they certainly did not originate this issue. As John O'Sullivan noted regarding Kristol's activism on an amnesty bill, "Kristol, representing many neoconservatives disposed to favor the bill, came out against it. He did so in part because it had serious drafting defects but, more importantly, because it was creating a bitter gulf between rank-and-file Republicans and the party leadership. That in turn was imperiling Republican objectives in other areas, notably Iraq." Peter Brimelow says it best: "Kristol will return to immigration enthusiasm once he has helped persuade Bush to attack Iran.
Obviously there is a similar situation here. The GOP rank and file are worried about immigration first and foremost, as well as trade policy and political correctness generally. Kristol might be willing to hold his nose on at least some of this, just as he did with homosexuality and some of the times when illegal immigration became an issue. But he would only do that if Trump was absolutely solid when it comes to neocon foreign policy.
But Trump is most definitely not in solid on neocon foreign policy. So Kristol is willing to jump ship and get what he really wants all along — a president who is somewhere between radical left/liberal to cuckservative right on social policy, but gung-ho on Israel and the rest of the neocon foreign policy agenda. What he wants is a race between Hillary and Marco Rubio, and if he gets it, the only downside of Hillary compared to Rubio is that fewer of his Republican friends would get top policy positions.
Funny how @hughhewitt keeps insisting he's Switzerland, but Trump keeps treating him like Poland.
Comparisons with the 1930s and World War II are psychological reflexes with neocons. Kristol condemns conservatives for passively accepting Trump, as Austria accepted Anschluss, while Goldberg emphasizes Trump=Hitler=invader of Poland, and Rubin compares Joe Scarborough to the collaborationist Vichy regime. A trifecta of National Socialist imagery.
No question about it, Trump elicits images of National Socialism for neocons, and many other Jews. With attitudes like that, for the neocons, literally anyone in the Republican or Democrat field would be preferable to Trump.
But this is a dangerous game. If Trump is denied the nomination and the presidency as a result of third party runs or manipulation of the convention, the anger against the establishment that Trump is tapping into will just continue to become worse — more immigration, more disastrous trade policy, more restrictions on free speech, not to mention the rest of the agenda of the radical left. And there will be more fear and anger among Whites about their future as a minority in a society dominated by other ethnic groups — an anger that no matter what their legitimate grievances, the oligarchy always wins.
There is a morally righteous anger in much of White America that Trump is tapping into, and sooner or later this will have cataclysmic consequences. As this anger builds, Republican voters may begin to realize that the Jewish identities and interests of the neocons were the fundamental problem that destroyed the Republican Party and their chances at deliverance. And they will understand that the people who accomplished this were not at all motivated by allegiance to sacred principles of freedom and the Constitution. They will understand that their best hope to achieve their very real, very legitimate interests has been shattered by very powerful people with strong Jewish identities and a sense of specifically Jewish interests. Neoconservatism is, after all, a Jewish movement.

Besorgt um die Strenge und Qualität des Schulwesens erhielt die Stadt 1607 von Papst Paul V. die Genehmigung zur Gründung eines Jesuitenkollegs, trotz der Nähe des 1553 gegründeten Kollegs in Avignon. Der Stadtteil trug fortan den Namen île Saint-Ignace, benannt nach dem Mitbegründer des Jesuitenordens Ignatius von Loyola.

Die Grundsteinlegung der Kapelle erfolgte 1628. Die Bauarbeiten zogen sich wegen Geldmangel lange hin, mit dem Bau der Kuppel wurde erst 1687 begonnen.

Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts besuchten etwa 300 Studenten, meist bürgerlicher Herkunft, das Kolleg. Trotz der Vertreibung der Jesuiten aus Frankreich 1768 blieben die Gebäude bis 1988 dem Schulbetrieb vorbehalten.

Beschreibung
Das Kolleg besteht aus sieben Gebäuden, die um zwei Innenhöfe im Norden und Süden angeordnet sind. Die Kapelle befindet sich im Osten des Komplexes. Das großzügige, reich ausgestattete Innere wird durch Fenster in der Kuppel erhellt. Die Galerie im Erdgeschoss verfügt über ein Pendentifgewölbe, das von Gurtbögen gestützt wird. Die unvollendete barocke Fassade hat zwei Ebenen, deren unterschiedliche Breite durch Voluten ausgeglichen wird.

When I found Xi and read her profile, I knew that we were going to be at least close friends! We have so much in common! She's a very active person, who adores sports and travelling. So do I! That's why after 3 months of communicating with each other we finally met in China. Shortly afterwards, I proposed to her and she moved to Germany. Now she is my true soulmate, my love and my wife.


So the little black kitten *is* pregnant. Only six months old, but I guess she was precocious. I'm currently pondering what to do; I could have Adobe do a spay-abort, but I'm awfully reluctant to do so when she's so far along -- I felt a bump on her side, pushed it a little, and the kitten went scooting away, so pretty far advanced. Dr. Johnson thought she'd deliver within a couple of weeks.
But I can't really foster her and move at the same time. So: is there anyone who is interested in fostering kittens? The mommy is very bold and friendly, and has black fur with golden highlights, a tiny little meow, and a huge purr. She loves being petted and adored, a real lap kitty. She tested negative for diseases and she's littertrained. I'd be interested in either people who wanted to foster her and the kittens and work with me on adopting them out, or people who wanted to adopt -- if I can't find a fosterer for her, I'm going to do the spay-abort, as bad as it would make me feel. If I can't find a home for her, it would be irresponsible to let her have kittens.
If you have any friends you think might be interested, point them here. I'm in San Jose, but I'm willing to drive a couple of hours if there's someone in Monterey or Sacramento.
Have you tried calling the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley? When I went there to get a cat, they had very few kittens and many people wanting kittens.
Was this recently? It's kitten season right now, so I'm surprised if they don't have any. It's a good idea, though.
Hm, no. It was in January sometime. It may still be worth a try. There are a couple of other shelters in the area that might be able to help out. I found a few through google when I was looking for a place to go to get my cat.
Mmf. If you can't find anyone down there, talk to me, Laura. I'm in Sacramento and will be home, mostly, for the next few weeks anyway, and could maybe do this, but I have to clear it with the husband. So let me know.
So far I haven't found anyone -- are you still interested? My number is 650-544-5287, if you want to call and talk about it.


Philadelphia, PA - When buying cheese, it's best to find a reliable source, such as a specialty market, cheese shop, or gourmet foods store that specializes in cheeses. Often, your local farmer's market and a cheesemaker's Web site are excellent resources, as you will often speak directly to the cheese-makers, who will ensure that the products are in the best possible condition. When using a retail store, you will want to make sure that the staff is knowledgeable and that turnover is swift. Those consumers that are the most fortunate will live in larger cities like Philly and have cut-to-order or cut-and-wrap retailers.

[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Single Wife" Episode 6
By William Schwartz on 2017/09/07 at 19:04 PST
2017/09/07 | Permalink
So dinner ends up going about as well as expected. We could already have guessed, after all, that In-hwa already hated Ra-hee without actually knowing anything about her. The whole previous marriage issue is just an excuse. It's kind of hard to blame her, considering that Jae-min was acting like he had something to be ashamed of simply by being with her in the first place and being very unnecessarily taciturn about it with his family.
Again, that's the main part of Jae-min that I can get. He's nice, and a surprisingly good sport about everything. But in spite of this, Ra-hee seems to mistrust him at every turn. I mean yeah, the whole "clean the apartment for the significant other" montage is something that any not perfectly neat person can identify with, but at some point you just gotta admit that yeah, you're a little messy, and that's never going to change.
That Min-hong already accepts every zany flaw about Ra-hee continues to be his main redeeming quality. It's also telegraphing the ending too obviously. Yeah, I know, the second lead never wins, but here, there isn't even any kind of a competition. Every little flashback just continues to emphasize how devoted and wonderful Min-hong is, and the fact that amnesia keeps resetting Min-hong back into this inherently pleasant state of mind is about the most obvious clue we can get that he is just naturally like this.
And how does Ra-hee respond to this? By being mean, mostly. Even granting that it is completely legitimate for her to be upset about their divorce not being finalized, I keep coming back to the fact that Ra-hee was the one who failed to get that confirmed at the time. The onus really is on the person initiating the divorce to make sure all the paperwork goes through. You can't seriously expect that a spouse who does not want to break up with you will put it in the necessary effort for that unless they're badgered about it.
I mean yeah, Min-hong can probably be counted on to do that, because he's so loyal and good-natured and pleasant in general. But there we just run into the paradox of how Ra-hee seems to trust her ex-husband more than the guy she's trying to get married to. That's just plain weird, and a pretty good clue as to how she's making questionable life choices in a whole lot of areas.

Nick Franklin scored a trophy in 2003.
By Dave Hurteau | Published Feb 1, 2007 2:10 PM
Field & Stream Online Editors
The mind-blowing elk archery season of 2003 produced two trophy bulls that are expected to surpass the top slots in Pope and Young's record books.
Nick Franklin of Phoenix, Arizona, shot what should become new No. 1 nontypical last September 18, near the town of Williams. The bull, nicknamed "Grandpa" by locals, was a huge 8-year-old that roamed Arizona's Game Management Unit 8 near Flagstaff.
The official dry score was not in at press time, but "Grandpa" boasted a green gross score of 453 inches and a net of 4396/8 inches, overtaking the current P&Y; world record for nontypical American elk, a 4205/8-inch Idaho bull shot in 1981 by Steve Mullin.
The story behind bowhunting celebrity Chuck Adams' 6×6 Montana bull is being protected like a major state secret. Whether he was on private or public land is not known, but Field & Stream has learned that he shot the animal somewhere on the south side of the Missouri River Breaks, north of Lewistown. The elk's 412 green score stands to better Adams' own previous P&Y; No. 1 typical record, which scored 4092/8, taken in Montana in 2000.

Charles Eames and Ray Eames
American designers
Charles Eames and Ray Eames, Ray Eames née Ray Bernice Alexandria Kaiser, (respectively, born June 17, 1907, St. Louis, Mo., U.S.—died Aug. 21, 1978, St. Louis; born Dec. 15, 1912, Sacramento, Calif.—died Aug. 21, 1988, Los Angeles, Calif.), American designers best known for the beauty, comfort, elegance, and delicacy of their mass-producible furniture. They also wrote books, made motion pictures, and designed exhibitions, fabrics, and industrial and consumer products.

Charles Eames, who was also an architect, was for several years head of the experimental design department at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. During that time (1939–41) he collaborated with the architect-designer Eero Saarinen on various design projects, one of which was a formfitting shell chair that won first place in the Organic Design Competition conducted in 1940–41 by the Museum of Modern Art, New York City. In 1940 he met and began working with Ray Kaiser, who was then studying painting with Hans Hofmann; Eames and Kaiser were married in 1941.
They moved to California, where they established a design firm, The Office of Charles and Ray Eames. Charles Eames designed movie sets, and the Eameses did research in the uses of plywood, continuing when, in 1943, Charles became director of research and development for the West Coast operations of the Evans Products Company.
The Eames design firm, best known for mass-producible but elegant furniture, was to powerfully influence furniture and industrial design for four decades. Together the Eameses became involved in architectural projects, product design, film production, and exhibits. They are probably best known for the Eames chair, constructed of two pieces of molded plywood joined by stainless steel tubing. In 1946 the Museum of Modern Art invited Charles Eames to be the first designer to have a "one-man" exhibition of his furniture designs (he was often given sole credit for their joint efforts). The exhibition was highly successful, and the Herman Miller Furniture Company in Zeeland, Michigan, soon began mass production of their molded plywood furniture. The Eameses' house, built in 1949 in Pacific Palisades, California, was outstanding for its elegant use of factory-produced elements. After 1955 they became increasingly active in the making of motion pictures, chiefly of an educational nature, notably the classic Powers of Ten (1968), which demonstrates the concept of orders of magnitude by contrasting views from the Earth's surface to the universe's edge and back to a handheld carbon atom.

As design consultants for International Business Machines, the Eameses helped create IBM's memorable exhibit for the 1964–65 New York World's Fair. A decade later, under the aegis of the same company, they designed a large American Bicentennial exhibition called "Franklin and Jefferson." The show was seen in Paris, in Warsaw, Poland, and in London, before appearing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
After Charles's death, Ray Eames continued to work on various design projects.

1st COVID-19 case detected in Rohingya camps in Bangladesh
by: JULHAS ALAM, Associated Press
FILE – In this April 15, 2020, file photo, a health worker from an aid organization walks wearing a hazmat suit at the Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Authorities on Thursday, May 14, 2020 reported the first coronavirus case in the crowded camps for Rohingya refugees in southern Bangladesh, where more than 1 million refugees have been sheltered, a Bangladeshi official and the United Nations said. (AP Photo/Shafiqur Rahman, File)
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — The first coronavirus case has been confirmed in the crowded camps for Rohingya refugees in southern Bangladesh, where more than 1 million are taking shelter.
The infected Rohingya and a local Bangladeshi who lives in the Cox's Bazar district who also tested positive have been isolated, Mahbub Alam Talukder, the country's refugee commissioner, said Thursday.
Teams have been activated to treat the patients as well as trace people they may have encountered, Louise Donovan, a spokeswoman for the U.N. refugee agency, told The Associated Press.
Nationwide, Bangladesh has confirmed 18,863 cases, including 283 fatalities. But the toll is thought to be higher since adequate testing facilities are lacking in the South Asian nation of 160 million people.
Aid workers have been warning of the potential for a serious outbreak if the virus spread into the densely populated camps. Donovan said Thursday that 108 Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar have been tested for the coronavirus since the beginning of April.
With about 40,000 people per square kilometer (103,600 per square mile) living in plastic shacks side by side, the 34 camps have more than 40 times Bangladesh's average population density. Each shack is barely 10 square meters (107 square feet) and many are packed with up to 12 residents.
Some refugees remained worried, saying they lacked access to clean water and protective equipment.
"Here in the camps it's difficult to protect our health from the virus because there are so many people in a small place," said Ro Sawyeddollah, a camp resident and executive director of the Rohingya Students Union.
The U.N. and the government said about 1,200 beds for isolating and treating COVID-19 patients were being readied just outside the camps at Ukhiya and Teknaf in Cox's Bazar, and more were planned.
Aid agencies and rights groups have been demanding Bangladesh's government withdraw restrictions on using mobile phones and internet in the camps. Authorities had suspended internet use for security reasons, and recent reports said armed groups among the refugees were allegedly involved in kidnappings and smuggling of drugs.
"Because of COVID-19, people can't meet one another, so it's impossible to share any messages or information without the internet," said Ro Sawyeddollah.
Daniel P. Sullivan, a human rights advocate for aid group Refugees International, said the lack of accurate information is fueling misinformation, and "rumors abound in the camps that COVID-19 is always fatal or that the faithful will be safe."
Most of the Rohingya have fled Myanmar since August 2017, when Myanmar's military launched counterinsurgency operations in response to rebel attacks. Security forces have been accused of mass rapes, killings and burning thousands of homes.
Authorities in Myanmar have long considered the Muslim Rohingya to be migrants from Bangladesh, even though their families have lived in the Buddhist-majority country for centuries. Nearly all have been denied citizenship since 1982, effectively rendering them stateless. They are also denied freedom of movement and other basic rights including education.
Associated Press writer Victoria Milko in Jakarta, Indonesia, contributes to the report.
BAGHDAD (AP) — Twin suicide bombings ripped through a busy market in the Iraqi capital on Thursday, killing at least 32 people and wounding dozens, officials said in what was the first massive bombing in years, harkening back to darker days of rampant militant attacks.
The rare suicide bombing hit the Bab al-Sharqi commercial area in central Baghdad amid heightened political tensions over planned early elections and a severe economic crisis. Blood was splattered on the pavement of the busy market amid piles of clothes and shoes as survivors took stock of the disarray in the aftermath.
ROME (AP) — The French doctor who discovered the genetic basis of Down syndrome but spent his career advocating against abortion as a result of prenatal diagnosis has taken his first major step to possible sainthood.
Pope Francis on Thursday approved the "heroic virtues" of Dr. Jerome Lejeune, who lived from 1926-1994 and was particularly esteemed by St. John Paul II for his anti-abortion stance.
BEIJING (AP) — It will take at least 15 more days to get through a massive amount of debris and reach miners already trapped for 11 days since an explosion in a gold mine in eastern China, authorities said Thursday.
The mine shaft is blocked 350 meters (1,000 feet) below the surface by 70 tons of debris that extends down another 100 meters (330 feet), the Yantai city government said in a statement on its social media account.

Meet Emiliana:
Emiliana, ParentChild+ parent graduate and mother of six, immigrated to the United States from Guatemala and speaks Mam, a Mayan language. Her English is limited, but in her native language she proudly described her experience at ParentChild+. ParentChild+ staff at The Guatemalan-Maya Center's ParentChild+ (funded by the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County and the Children's Services Council) translated Emiliana's story:
Emiliana, a 37 year-old Guatemalan Mayan mother of six, speaks very little English and can neither read nor write except for her name. Growing up in a small town in Guatemala, she was never exposed to any children's books or given the opportunity to go to school. At the young age of 6, she was responsible for doing the daily household chores and taking care of her younger siblings, while her parents worked in the fields. When she became old enough, she too began working in the fields. She was married at 14, and soon after had her first child. She moved to the United States almost a decade later, bringing him and her five year-old daughter with her.
In 2009, her two year-old daughter, Araceli, enrolled in ParentChild+ and from the first day the entire family participated in the program. Sessions took place in the one tiny room that serves as a kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedroom for a family of eight.
During the first months of the Program, Araceli was extremely shy, but her siblings made up for her silence. Eventually, Araceli came out of her shell and began to participate with her sisters Amelia (1) and Rosalinda (3), all of them soaking up everything they saw and heard during the home visits. Together they all learned about colors, shapes, and numbers. Emiliana never missed a session and benefited from the Program, learning alongside her children.
Araceli developed a particular fondness for books. Initially she loved hearing stories read to her, and later, proudly, she was able to read the stories on her own. Caring for and protecting her new books became her mission.
Emiliana was delighted to update the ParentChild+ staff on her children's progress: Araceli, Amelia, and Rosalinda attend elementary school and are top students in their classes. Araceli graduated from kindergarten with A's and B's, and proudly demonstrated her excellent reading skills to the excited ParentChild+ staff.
Although this devoted mother of six barely speaks English and does not read or write, she is totally committed to her children's education. She knows education is the key to opening doors that lead to future opportunities.
When she compares the way her two older children struggled to get through their first years of school to the way her three younger daughters enjoyed and soared through kindergarten, she sees a huge difference. She is proud that she is playing such an active role in their learning process. She continues to use the books and toys from the Program with her youngest son who is 15 months old.
Emiliana says, in her native language of Mam, 'Kaw chiwa'wal yuwaltihoxh tet jun b'ulan anima max kolwahok yin jeb' ix oxwan wune' yin ya'le snaab'al jeb'ix yin skuywi b'ey snaahil kuyo. Jaahinti'an kaw chintzaalahan yutol jeb'ix wune'ti' kaw sa'al stoo jeb' ix yin skuyu yuxan jaahinti'an kaw chitzaala jink'ul yin junti'.'"
Translation: I am very thankful for this program because it has helped my three girls be prepared for school. I am so happy because they are doing so well in school and I am proud of them.

How Much Time Does Dish Network Have to Activate its LTE Plans?
How Much Time Does Dish Network Have to Activate its LTE Plans?2015-02-172015-04-10/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/spectrum-futures-lgo.pngSpectrum Futures/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/spectrum-futures-lgo.png200px200px
The big gamble on mobile spectrum or mobile services being made by Dish Network might take a while to reach a final conclusion.
Dish has assembled a portfolio of about 55 MHz of spectrum to support Long Term Evolution networks, but some note it faces a 2017 deadline to get 40 percent of that spectrum activated, allowing mobile customers to buy service.
There is a catch. Dish can miss the deadline, face a penalty, but still keep its spectrum if it makes the second deadline of 70 percent coverage by 2020.
Dish might also face some legal challenges around the 25 percent discount it is receiving to buy the AWS-3 spectrum it won in the recent AWS-3 spectrum auction.
Neither AT&T nor Verizon will do anything they can avoid to enable Dish Network's entry into the U.S. mobile market, as well. An argument can be made that new shared spectrum initiatives, new unlicensed spectrum and millimeter wave capacity will provide the additional capacity either firm might need.
Should Dish fail to activate its spectrum it loses the licenses, and the gamble fails. So AT&T and Verizon will have strong incentives to use the other traditional methods–network architecture, air interfaces and offload–to keep growing capacity.
Verizon has been thought among the possible buyers, but, as you would expect, Verizon says it is in no hurry to acquire additional spectrum, even if it remains open to "secondary market" transactions.
In fact, Verizon seems to be saying it has no need for a few, or several years, a time frame that puts Verizon past the window when Dish Network would have needed to act, one way or the other, to put that spectrum to work supporting an actual mobile business of some kind.
There are other options for Verizon. Some believe Sprint might put some of its surplus spectrum up for sale, for example. Verizon also is looking at unlicensed spectrum, and says it also would consider leasing some spectrum.
Looking only at spectrum, Dish Network now controls about as much capacity as does T-Mobile US. A network, and a retail service, it does not yet have. Whether there are other buyers is an open question. Apple, Google and Comcast are the names that come to mind.
