East Tennessee State is located in the foothills of the rolling Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee. The area is home to what is known as the tri-cities, made up of Johnson City, Kingsport, and Bristol. The beautiful campus spans over 350 acres and contains a certified Arboretum.


The National Park Service has spoken.
Washington, D.C. might not take cherry blossom season as seriously as Japan, but there's still quite the fanfare each year when the Yoshino cherry trees in the nation's capital reach peak bloom. This year, that falls between March 17 and 20, based on a prediction by the National Park Service. That means for those three days around 70 percent of the blossoms will be open.
According to USA Today, this year's peak bloom takes place nearly two weeks earlier than usual, with the cherry trees usually reaching max blossom the last week of March and the first week of April. Since the duration and date of blooming is so reliant on weather conditions, it makes sense that an early spring in Washington, D.C. would hasten peak bloom.
Still, you might want to wait just a bit before booking a trip to D.C. Peak bloom, unfortunately, can only be predicted 10 days before the actual date, which means we're around a week too early from knowing whether the trees will actually have the fullest blossoms come March 17. If you can't make the precise dates, though, that's not too big of a problem. So long as you arrive within a two day window before and after the peak bloom dates, the trees will still look fully developed—at least to those who don't study cherry blossoms for a living.
D.C. is sure to look absolutely beautiful come mid-March, and if you're there, prepare to get swept up in all sorts of blossom-celebrating shindigs like Festival Night at Cherry Blossom PUB on March 20 and Petalpalooza on April 7.

Millersville-Crownsville: Local students learn about space and NASA missions
By Susan Downey and Correspondent

Old Mill Middle School South students recently welcomed Ben Ballard, an engineer from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, to learn about his mission developing a mechanism to map the surface of asteroids through an ongoing project.
The laboratory is a non-profit organization that researches, develops and conducts essential systems engineering support for security needs. Ballard currently is mentoring the students participating in the STEM 7 Technology Education who are working on simulating mapping the surface of asteroids through using a laser device as Ballard did on the NASA Near Earth Asteroid Mission which ended in 2001.
Students have experienced the challenge, much like Ballard and his colleagues, on how to construct a device which would take readings across a surface area in increments of a model asteroid. Ballard assists the students through his experience.
"Mr. Ballard is helping to groom the next generation of young space engineers to capture student interest in future space missions related to asteroid interactions and our quest toward Mars," said Marie Hartman, STEM department chairwoman, in an email.
Teams of students built small structures from Legos that would hold a laser tool with a system of gears and a formation of an arm to move in a way to scan a surface area of a sample rock such as it would move across an asteroid.
Ballard visits at the end of every grading quarter to support the students and see how they have been working. For the past several months, students have been working on their devices and are at a point of review.
"Mr. Ballard's mentorship provided students insight into the practice of engineering and opportunities to think and act like a space engineer to develop a working model," Hartman said.

Album Review: 'African Giant' is the creative alignment of Burna Boy's journey
Motolani Alake
African Giant is effortless creative excellence from an artist in his element.
On Burna Boy's 'African Giant' album cover, he portrays himself as a pan-African leader common in the continent which started at the begiining of the 20th century (Spaceship Entertainment)
Spaceship Entertainment
Creativity, imagination, evolution and growth are core parts of human personality as they are core parts of artistry.
These factors determine the differences in personality as they determine excellence/stages of artistry.
Some artists peak early. Others come up and down throughout their careers. A few are late bloomers and a select ones - like Burna Boy - have undeniable talent, but they struggle to truly realize it until they cut the clutter. Initially, Burna struggled to justify why many rated him so highly, but he never stopped putting in the work.
Now, Burna Boy is like a cat with nine lives on the third of those nine lives. However, he never really died on each of his two previous lives. On the first of those two lives, he released his debut album, L.I.F.E before descending into an ocean of drama that hampered his progress. He didn't die, he just remained 'there.'
On the second of those lives, he released a few projects and set off on a path to self destruction. Again, he fought and survived. Now on his third life, he had to fight for it by keeping his emotion in check and putting that same emotion into the music - keeping the conversation about the music.
'Emotion' is an important trait to Burna Boy that has seen him become a 'combatant' and a 'survivor' throughout his career.
Emotion is why he lashed out at and combated fans at every turn. Emotion is why he reacted rashly to his fellow artists who criticized him. Emotion is also how he recognized how counter-productive that path was. Again, he combated that self-destructive tendency and again, he survived.
He released Outside. It was critically acclaimed as it was commercially successful. Still on his third cycle, Burna Boy has released his 7th project, African Giant.
The three traits of emotion, combative tendencies and survival carry greater meaning on African Giant and coexist on the album for topics addressed and the manner in which they are addressed. Together, they produce excellence and positivity.
Even on the infamy that inspired his album title, emotion made him combat Coachella. Again, he survived, but he also thrived. African Giant is now the title of his best creative curve. A successful tour is named the African Giant Tour and an excellent album is named African Giant. A different career level is heralded.
Track List for 'African Giant' by Burna Boy. (Spaceship)
For the first time, Burna Boy brings these three major traits that have defined his career into one career-defining album. The difference this time is that Burna brings his fans into his world to learn about his inner workings could also help liberate them. Ergo, he unintentionally projects these three key traits as material to his audience.
On African Giant, emotions inspire topics of love and gratitude, while combative tendencies pique on activism and pan-Africanism. On his motions, Burna Boy also read out his manifesto on his hopes for his people - Africans.
He assumes the role of their activist and fights for more than self or career. He finds his higher calling which only showed traces on Outside. Equally, he delivers bangers.
Here is a review of African Giant;
Burna, the activist and social commentator
No other song exemplifies Burna Boy as a combatant than 'Another Story' which features Ghanaian rapper, M.anifest. The track opens up to the dark deal of 1900, which saw Nigeria sold to the British Government for 865,000 Pounds Sterling by the Royal Niger Company - now known as Unilever.
Echoing the pain-filled rhetoric of Stereoman, Burna sings his pain like an angry combatant, "E dey pain me gah gah ooo…" Also singing about the lack of change since our independence in 1960, Burna talks about how colonialists warp history and tell idealist lies in place of a crooked history.
The combatant in Burna Boy rises up from the lo-fi production on title track, 'African Giant.' He begins by singing, "Tell them Africa we don tire, so here comes the African giant. Plenty people don try am, you can't test the African giant…"
It is both a call to arms and a cry for help that places Burna himself as the poster boy of the fight against oppression of all kinds. Some will call it megalomania, but in a continent lacking heroes and even willing protesters, it's good to see someone rising up.
'Wetin Man Go Do' tows that line. But this time, it discusses a familiar tale to Burna - survival. Cut from the early 2000's dancehall majesty, the beat houses Burna's take of Nigerian inner-city struggles. He talks about parenting and dreams with a core pain felt through his voice.
'Dangote' documents the average Nigerian dreams of wealth and it is more social commentary than activism. With Kel P at the production helm, Burna Boy sings in first person through the eyes of the average Nigerian dreamer.
The electronic guitar riffs seem like Burna Boy's equivalent of Fela's saxophone. On a beat that could be mistaken for a regular club track, Burna talks about depth of corruption as a precursor to Nigerian suffering and oppression on 'Collateral Damage.' He sings "We are our own problem," discusses police brutality and even name checks Alamieyeseigha.
On possibly the best song the best song on the album, Burna Boy underlines all negative shades to the word, 'Different' on reggae fusion. With the the help of legends, Damian Marley and Angelique Kidjo, Oluwaburna paints the the other side of 'ideal' that Nigeria is subjected to on a daily.
When Burna Boy won the BET Award for Best International Act, his mom accepted the award on his behalf and read a resounding pan-African manifesto to black-folk all over the world. It resonated and garnered a choral endorsement in claps and shouts - the cry of an oppressed demographic. She reminded black-folk of its power and home.
The power of that message is reinforced. It's not doom, gloom and fights for Burna Boy. 'Spiritual' saw him also celebrate the power of blackness. He sings, "All my people spiritual…" Although we get an unexpected saunter to sex-ed talk.
'Destiny' is a tale of gratitude, but social commentary, nonetheless. Burna does not hold back, he attains a shade of the Nigerian dream and shows gratitude.
Burna, the lover boy

It is no news that Burna Boy found love in the form of beautiful, British rapper, Stefflon Don. African Giant witnesses Burna in his unfettered lover boy clothing. 'Omo' is an ode to Steph, the woman who has called Burna Boy her husband. She's also the woman Burna refuses to speak about and acts like a flustered teenager about.
One of the best songs on the album, 'Gum Body' documents what might have been his first encounter with Stefflon Don. The R&B fusion/synth pop song features a wicked drum roll as well as a rude melodies. Let the record show that Jorja Smith took this song into another realm with what would ordinarily seem out-of-place. Well, it was not.
'Secret' is maybe a confirmation of Stefflon Don's consistent statement that Burna is her husband as is first verse on 'Pull Up.' It will never be more apparent than on the last line of Serani's hook. Make no mistake, the smash hit, 'On The Low' is a song about sex. What's love without sex, right?
Burna Boy is good. His pen is a cloak that makes sex look like love.
Burna, the party starter
Who can blend politically charged chatters with emotion and party bangers? Not a lot of them. But one of them is Burna. 'Anybody' is a vitriolic call of a no-nonsense giant enjoying his peak as he calls people to 'Gbese!' Even more importantly, Burna promises to break bottles if needs be.
If Jay Z raps that, "F*** all this Shawn Carter s**t, N***a, Hov…" to remind the cool cats of his more unsavoury traits on 'Bam,' the final part of 'Anybody' is Burna's version of just that and so is 'This Side' which majorly aims to use violence as a protective cloak.
The biggest Nigerian song of 2019 is the Zlatan-assisted 'Killin Dem.' No, it is not a polemic on Nigerian politics. It is Nigerian song rich on street lingo and adlibs. This is the gbedu to cure your craze. 'Gbona' is self-appreciation that many will deem vain. But if you can't be your own hypeman, who will?
First off, afrobeats doesn't see this level of imagination and songwriting from its acts. Burna transcends that stereotype and breaks out of it with ease.
Ladies and gentlemen, Burna Boy has a sound. Before African Giant dropped, it was supported by six singles that seemed disjointed. Well, they're not. When you listen to the album, you will realize one common denominator; a sonic cohesion to all the singles.
Yes, they're different subgenres, but there's a uniform sonic approach to all the beats and that's where Burna currently finds himself. A purveyor of sonic cohesion above the mainstays of his generation. The sound is what I call 'Afrovibe fusion,' a mixture of Fela's afrobeat melodies, afrobeats, vibes, reggae and dancehall.
Even when Burna changes genres and beat pitches, the sound remains identifiable. As such, the production on African Giant is simply exceptional.
People will fault the project's length, but Burna Boy carried it. The only track that sticks out is the questionable Future collab on 'Show and Tell.' I wager that the album is this long because Burna Boy tried to cater to three markets; Africa, the UK and the US with the album broken down into three parts.
Some of the final few tracks seem tailored to America, and everything before track 17 are split between the UK and Africa. While the track list is bloated, it aided segues and transition. But topically, the positioning of 'Destiny,' a song about gratitude sticks out - especially as it comes before 'Spiritual,' a song about power.
Here is the truth, Burna Boy's African Giant is the best Nigerian album 2019 will see. It is difficult to see any Nigerian artist topping this album. The A&R is unparalleled.
This is the album people thought Outside was. However, it is also the perfection of the journey that Outside pioneered. The emotive undertone to this album stands outs. It is a balanced work of art from an artist at his creative zenith.
At the root of the album is a common emotion; love. That's why Burna fights, that's why he appreciates and that's why he's grateful.

Cincinnati Bearcats Basketball 2016-17
Bearcat Player Power Rankings: Week Three
The usual suspects are at the top and bottom but there was a shakeup in the middle.
By Phil Neuffer@philneuffer Nov 29, 2016, 12:01pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Bearcat Player Power Rankings: Week Three
David Kohl-USA TODAY Sports
It was a perfect homestand for the Cincinnati Bearcats this past Thanksgiving weekend. UC rolled past Samford and Lipscomb as appetizers for a showdown against nationally ranked Iowa State this Thursday. Some players took advantage of the dip in competition level to impress, while a few others faded a bit.
13. John Koz (LW 13)
Koz did not play in either game.
12. Jackson Bart (LW 12)
Bart recorded the rare trillion (one minute played with zero stats) in UC's 91-68 rout of Lipscomb.
11. Zack Tobler (LW 11)
Tobler earned a minute of playing time and also failed to record a statistic against Lipscomb.
10. Quadri Moore (LW 9)
Moore has tumbled down the rankings after starting the year at No. 7. He only played in one game this week, getting in eight minutes against Lipscomb. However, he was not particularly effective in that short time, making just 1-of-6 field goal attempts while bringing down three rebounds.
9. Justin Jenifer (LW 5)
Speaking of players taking a tumble, Jenifer may have played a fair number of minutes (22 total), but he was almost invisible on the stat sheet, recording a total of five points and three assists while shooting 28.6 percent from the floor. His shooting slump has been a season-long issue (.381 FG percentage) and its one that will hopefully correct itself as Jenifer will be needed to run the point when Troy Caupain needs a break.
8. Nysier Brooks (LW 10)
The freshman center had one good game and one forgettable one. Against Samford, he ate up 15 minutes of playing time and put in 10 points to go with four rebounds and three blocks, showing that UC has a wealth of rim protectors. However, Brooks only had five points and didn't get one rebound across nine minutes in UC's win over Lipscomb. Brooks is only averaging 7.3 minutes per game, which is better than only Tobler, Bart and Koz, so he needs to be more of the player he was against Samford to make an impact and improve his playing time.
7. Kevin Johnson (LW 8)
While Moore has slowly slid, KJ has slowly risen. He's still having trouble knocking down shots at an efficient rate, shooting just 32.4 percent from the floor this season, but he knocked down 40 percent of his tries last week, including a 4-of-8 effort against Lipscomb that yielded him 13 points in 31 minutes. Johnson is fourth on the team in minutes played (25.7) and field goals attempted (6.2). For that to be sustainable on a winning team, continuing to show an ability to make shots will obviously be key.
6. Jarron Cumberland (LW 7)
Cumberland makes his way into the top six because of just one game. He poured in a career-high 17 points on 4-of-6 from the floor and 8-of-10 at the free-throw line while throwing in three blocks against Lipscomb. It is that type of hard-nosed scoring ability that made Cumberland such an attractive recruit and illustrates the promise Cumberland possesses going forward. However, he was held scoreless in eight minutes against Samford, so its still too early to proclaim him a primary scoring option.
5. Gary Clark (LW 4)
Clark's injury against Lipscomb limited him to just six minutes and casts a cloud over UC, as the defending American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year is obviously a key part of the Bearcats plans. Clark still managed to stuff two points and two rebounds into his shortened time against Lipscomb and he played well against Samford (13 points, seven rebounds).
4. Tre Scott (LW 6)
Scott's promotion to the top four is based on his strong showing against Lipscomb as well as the fact that he is the likely stand-in while Clark recovers from injury. Scott showed just how well he can replicate Clark's kind of production in the win over the Bisons, stuffing the stat sheet to the tune of nine points, nine rebounds, five assists and five blocks. He played 29 minutes in that contest with Clark sidelined and will be in for major minutes as long as Clark isn't 100 percent.
3. Troy Caupain (LW 3)
The senior point guard didn't do anything that really wowed, but he did play the most minutes of any Bearcat (32.5 pg) in the last two games. He will continue to be ridden hard by Cronin, which is why Jenifer needs to step up because at some point Caupain will need a break. Caupain had seven points and four assists against Samford and was again a secondary scorer and willing passer against Lipscomb, accumulating eight points and five helpers.
2. Jacob Evans (LW 2)
Evans has come back to earth a bit when it comes to scoring. Although he still leads the team in points per game (18.2), he has been held below 20 points in each of the last three games, including a season-low 12 against Samford when he shot just 37.5 percent from the floor. Before that contest, he had made at least 75 percent of his field goal tries in every game. He rebounded nicely against Lipscomb, with 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting while adding four rebounds and as many assists.
1. Kyle Washington (LW 1)
Washington continues to be a terror in the paint for opponents of the red and black. He is averaging an impressive 16.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game while also passing a little (2.0 APG) and defending well (1.2 BPG). He carried UC over Samford with 18 points and 12 boards as well as three blocks and then earned some rest against Lipscomb, allowing Cumberland and Scott to take over. However, even in that game he had 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting although his two rebounds were clearly a low. Still, Washington has been the best player on this team for the last two weeks. Let's see what he can do Thursday.


Before I go any further: some disclosures. Of the many sources in this book, I am one of relatively few to appear under their own name. I was approached because a Parisian colleague of the author's tipped him off to my attempts, over the last twenty-five years, at writing and talking about this reality. To my considerable relief it turns out that I had indeed intuited many of the story's structuring elements. As a bonus, the author has treated me with undeserved generosity, even to the extent of including my French Bulldog, Nicholas, in his pages. I wish to disclose, however, not merely the fact of being a source, but also what I learned through the process of becoming one, since it has a direct bearing on whether the author is trustworthy, and whether what he says is true. These are questions which are likely to be raised given the need some people will surely have to shoot the messenger and downplay the message.

All The Bachelorette Spoilers For Katie Thurstons Hometown Dates Are Here
If viewers have learned anything while watching this season of The Bachelorette, it's that Katie Thurston knows exactly what (and who) she wants. She's been known to make some seriously quick decisions, whether it's kicking guys out of the house for starting drama or being brutally honest on one-on-ones. The leading lady isn't always the one making the tough decisions, as a few dudes have booked their own ticket back home.
Since Katie's season wrapped up filming one week early, it's a good guess that the rest of the episodes will fly by. With only a few guys left to duke it out in New Mexico, hometown dates are right around the corner.
So, who gets to introduce their family to Katie? Will the contestants be jet-setting back to their homes? And seriously, who is in Katie's final four? Get the scoop on everything hometowns here:
Warning, spoilers ahead! Do not keep reading if you don't want to know what happens on season 17 of The Bachelorette!
Wait, what's a hometown date?
If you're a Bachelor Nation newbie, here's how hometown dates work (usually). After the Bachelorette narrows it down to her final four guys, she travels to their hometowns and spends a day with their families. You never really know how it's going to go after that. There have been some off the wall hometowns within the walls of the contestants' childhood homes.
Lately, the new bubble style that ABC has been using to film amid the COVID-19 pandemic means the families actually fly to the set. So, Katie won't get to see the city where her suitors grew up or their whole fam, but a few important people are sure to show up.
Which of Katie's guys gets a hometown date?
So, who's getting a hometown date this season? Reality Steve confirmed a major final four shakeup on his blog: Katie's lucky final four guys will be Greg Grippo, Blake Moynes, Michael Allio, and Justin Glaze. Not Andrew Spencer, as Steve had originally reported on his Instagram.
This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
A post shared by The Bachelorette (@bacheloretteabc)
And, as Steve predicted Michael A.'s hometown date didn't go exactly as planned. "The one thing I knew was that his family never met Katie," he wrote.
Now, viewers know that's because Michael self-eliminated right before hometowns and after a heartbreaking call with his son James. A typical hometowns episode? Not this season!
What happens during Katie's hometown dates?
While there aren't any concrete spoilers yet about what will happen on Katie's hometown dates, there are some brand new photos—and the snaps look pretty cute so far. First, there's Katie and Justin sharing a total rom-com kiss:

Then, there's Katie and Greg getting cozy by the tennis courts:
And finally, an adorable shot of Katie and Blake wearing matching hockey jerseys:
It looks like Katie's keeping things casual this season, with a hockey game thrown in there to make things interesting. It's not a Canuck hometown moment without one, eh?
Will Katie and the guys be flying home?
Don't expect to see Katie and those three with any suitcases, sorry. For the second season in a row, hometowns won't actually mean leaving the resort. Just like in Matt James' Bachelor season, members of the contestants' families will be making the trek to New Mexico to meet Katie.
Based on the episode previews, Blake's sister will definitely be there (she's in the tan shirt):
And here's your sneak peek at all the hometowns drama that might go down (plus, a first look at all the friends and fam flying in):
As for the rest of the drama, you'll have to wait and see what tough questions the parents bring for Katie. Tune into The Bachelorette hometowns episode when it airs on ABC on August 2nd.


There's a misalignment with planes when they are at stops, you can clearly see it in the attached image. I've added the tile outline to the plane.
And I can't modify the image to align it because then when the plane makes a curve it does it strangely.
I see that on the right bottom stage it is shifted back - and not a little.
An_dz: If you will pay attention to alignment of some road vehicles (in pak96.comic, too - there it is very bad), you will see that they are wrong aligned too. Trucks waiting on some loading stages are almost out of that loading stage - and somewhere this may cause that such truck may block near road - even if it stays on end stop. But this seems like some of them have set wrong length.
I've edit the image to show the comparison between the tile and the plane image tile.
The bottom right plane is shifted on purpose, I've done it to see what could change in-game. It's not shifted in 96comic expansion.
The left bottom plane is simply wrong positioned. All vehicles going south east, should start at the beginning of a tile.
But then it will just be more misaligned. Look the aircraft tile is half away the ground/station tile.
And the same happens in all other paksets.
You have the aircraft tiles shown wrong in relation to the station tiles. For south and east heading, the plane travels to the edge of the tile and stops. For north and west, the stop position is halfway. >>> south facing plane positioned wrong.
So, your telling me to push the plane image backwards so it stop inside the tile?
But if I do so, the curve effect gets really weird.
And why it stops out of the tile for South and East?
It doesn't stop out of the tile for south and east, it stop at the edge of the tile - why I said you have the tiles shown wrong. For north and west, it's actually stopped only halfway onto the tile, not all the way as you show.
Oh, now I got it. Thanks for the explanation.

The world of old tapestries
The historical instruments gently caress the ears. Four pairs of young, good-looking people dance playfully. Hops, bows, dignified promenades and quick chases after the partner are all part of a lovers' game. Everything's clear, but nothing's blatant.
One can easily lose track of time during such play. And time indeed flows in a much slower pace than the one we're used to. People living at the turn of 16th and 17th centuries were deeply aware of the briefness and frailty of human life. Maybe, paradoxically, that is why those who could afford it indulged in all kinds of entertainment, primarily music, dance, masquerades and finally opera – the combination of all those genres.
Watching the Saturday spectacle, which combined ballet and opera, made me ponder upon the artistic tastes of our ancestors. I realized how few people remember that the royal Polish court of Vasa has been – alongside the Italian courts of the time – place where European opera has taken shape and developed further.
Krakow Chamber Opera has staged its spectacle on the stage of the El-Jot theatre. This time they have revisited a play by Tarquinio Merula, an Italian composer living on the court of Sigismund III Vasa. A little duet tells a story of a failed courtship of beautiful but unfaithful Corisca by a satyr. The original Polish listener had a possibility to get acquainted with the latest innovations of the Italian musical theatre. Jadwiga Leśniak-Jankowska – script writer, director and choreographer – embellished the show with instrumental pieces by Merula and Polish late Renaissance/early Baroque dances. The resulting spectacle has been named 'A carnival masquerade at the royal court'.
A chamber spectacle, fragile as some delicate trinket, is filed to the last detail. Beautiful costumes created by Katarzyna Mucha are modelled on the garments from the historical paintings. The young performers look splendid wearing them – they feel at ease in the convention,of the period, as if they had just stepped out of one of the tapestries hanging on the wall. A small musical ensemble playing historical instruments did not deviate from the score even once.
The main players, Anna Krawczyk and Maciej Michalik, not only were amusing on stage but also successfully coped with the challenging musical recitative – especially the melodic and harmonious shifts which may sound peculiar to modern listener. There were still a few moments where actors got carried away by the heated argument onstage, their expressiveness overpowering vocal accuracy. It is understandable, though, given the atmosphere of the premiere.
The musical spectacles staged by Jadwiga Leśniak-Jankowska in her own theatre El-Jot have a special place on the theatrical map of Krakow. They are rooted in the past, slow-paced, not dazzling with flamboyance – yet they find their devoted audience. It would seem that the need for loudness and obscenity is not that prevalent today after all. More people seem to crave the subtle charm of the show, perfection and elegance of the performance. Everyone who experiences similar needs should definitely pay a visit to the cellars at Miodowa St.
The premiere at Niepołomice Royal Castle
Charming, subtle and amusing
'Satiro e Corisca' by Krakow Chamber Opera
After 380 years 'Satiro e Corisca' by Tarquinio Merula is debuting again in the royal castle halls. The only difference is that originally it has been staged in the Warsaw royal castle, at the court of king Sigismundus III Vasa, and recently the play visited the Niepołomice castle.
Those were the words of Wacław Jankowski, the managing and artistic director of Krakow Chamber Opera, before the Friday premiere of this early Baroque opera buffa.
The audience was delighted by the opera's artists. The musical spectacle was enriched by courtly ballet and historical dances. It captivates the viewer with its subtlety, airiness and charm of the early Baroque music and the courtly dances which most likely accompanied the mask balls. The staging is well-thought-out and not only amuses, but also bewitches the viewer with the choreographic precision of every single gesture or dance routine. Almost every scene is stopped somewhere in the middle, as if it was a celuloid frame. This allows to savour not only the musical, but also the visual side of the spectacle.
It is a humorous tale, a satire on female deviousness which tells the story of a nymph named Corisca who strings along a certain satyr. It is also the most innovative work by Italian composer and organist, Tarquinio Merula. He has composed the piece in Warsaw, at the beginning of 17th c. Merula has been one of the greatest Italian musicians who have performed in the Vasa royal ensemble.
Krakow Chamber Opera is going to stage 'Satiro e Corisca' next Saturday (September 25th), at 7 PM, on their home stage at Miodowa St. 15. The premiere at the Royal Castle in Niepołomice has been yet another enterprise of this music scene, a part of the 'Opera meetings at the castle' cycle. It was possible due to the artistic cooperation with Niepołomice municipality.
Mayor of Niepołomice, Stanisław Kracik, has taken honorary patronage of the event.

A courtly Mardi Gras
'Satiro e Corisca', directed by Jadwiga Leśniak-Jankowska in Krakow Chamber Opera.
Reviewed by Monika Partyk in 'Ruch Muzyczny'.
Of all the works composed at the beginning of the 17th century for the newly established opera stage at the royal castle in Warsaw only one has been preserved to this day: 'Satiro e Corisca, dialogo musicale a due roci' by Tarquinio Merula. One of its two remaining copies is in the custody of Jagiellonian University. The Krakow Chamber Opera, established in May 2005, has decided to stage this largely forgotten play at their headquarters, at El-Jot theatre in the Kazimierz district. The Krakow premiere has taken place on 25th of February, but it has been preceded by the staging at Niepołomice Royal Castle. The Krakow Chamber Opera, the missing piece in the musical and theatrical endeavours of the El-Jot theatre, would like specialize in the historical music. Beautifully designed interiors with an underground stage in an amphitheatrical setting create a fitting space for such projects.
'Dialog Satiro e Corisca' was written in 1626 in Warsaw on the Vasa court. It was an innovative piece, not only in Poland but on the European scale as well. It fully deserved the name 'nuova', given by composer himself. The most prominently innovative elements are the way recitative parts are being handled and the boldness of harmony. The text has been derived from the pastoral tragicomedy 'Pastorfido' by Giovanni Battista Guarini (act two, scene six). Its poetic language glitters with humour, fierceness and verbal swordplay. The wit of the author aims to ridicule many different things – female inconsistency and deviousness personified by nymph Corisca, as well as the futile anger of the rejected lover in the character of Satyr. The lengthy diapason of feelings, ranging from anger and mockery to love, as well as the exquisite poetic construction, are masterfully painted with music. Recitative, which is the only mean of expression in this composition, is far less crude than the one employed by the Florentine Camerata. It presents the text's expressive values and brings out its construction at the same time. The exclamative hendecasyllables are accentuated by frequent leaps, each of them the length of the so-called 'intervali falsi' (false intervals). Those characteristics, combined with irregular pauses in each verse, must have been perceived as an utter novelty by the original listeners. Merula was surely aware of the fact, since he wrote in the preface/dedication that 'it is Satyr's music and not everyone is able to acknowledge its harmonious sound'.
The staging by Krakow Chamber Opera is a spectacle combining opera and ballet presented under the title 'A Carnival Masquerade at the Royal Court'. The script writer, director, choreographer and one of the founders of the Chamber Opera, Jadwiga Leśniak-Jankowska, decided to draw on the tradition of florentine carnival, which combined dance, play and stage production. That is why the spectacle features not only the original play, but also instrumental pieces by Merula, ballet music by Sigismondo d'India and the historical dances from the Italian and Polish courts. All those additional elements combined into a lengthy introduction. It turned out to be a proving ground for the courtly ballet dancers – three pairs and the eponymous couple. The beautiful choreography, faithful to the historical tradition, showcased the distinct character of each dance. The presented Polish traditional dances were the 'czapkowy' (hat) dance, the 'witany' (welcome) dance, the 'goniony' (chasing) dance, and finally 'suieczkowy' and 'faworytny' dances. The foreign repertoire included pavanilla, pavane and gaillante. Ballet also played a vital role in the main part of the spectacle, a dialogue between Satyr and Corisca – it became an integral part of the story. The dancers were quite often becoming mimes, and their expressive movement has been building the comic quality of the situation onstage – just to mention the taunts aimed at Satyr, already enraged by Corisca's intrigues. The accompanying laughter which grows as the play progresses also seems to be a rather clever device.
A double applause goes out to the pair od fingers: Anna Krawczyk – a strong, vibrant, bright soprano with a silvery timbre – and Maciej Michalik – a smooth bass with a warm pitch. They have displayed a great sense of musical style, but also extraordinary acting skills, which were noticeable both in their play and the expression of their voices. The musical ensemble conducted by Tomasz Chmiel (who was also responsible for the orchestration), consisting of traverso flute, baroque violin, viola da gamba and spinet, did really well. The most spectacular element of the whole spectacle, though, were the costumes inspired by the paintings of the old masters kept in Polish collections of art. They were the creation of a young seamstress and costume designer, Katarzyna Mucha. Stylish, majestic and charming at the same time, made of rich fabrics, pleasing to the eye – they adorned not only the protagonists and ballet dancers, but the musicians too. While the courtly fashion has been chosen for the dancing parts, a pastoral look has accompanied the recitatives. An ingenious design of the Satyr costume included a distinctive pelt cape and a caduceus entwined with grapevine. One of the crucial elements of the costumes were, as befits a carnival masquerade, golden masks, which were 'played out' in many different ways. In contrast to the lavish costumes, the scenography was restrained to the grapevines crawling over the scene with the addition of small curtains hanging here and there. In Niepołomice on the other hand, the royal chambers provided a fitting scenery with some beautiful tapestries hanging on the background walls.
The Florentine carnival was meant to entertain – but in style, teach – however discreetly, make you laugh – but without any vice. That is exactly how this spectacle feels like: allegorical, subtle and warm. It is also full of understatements – after all, it is a time when the players at the ball welcome each other with words: "Good morning, Lady Mask". It is a tale of the deceptiveness of love, in which Satyr – certain that he will win over his beloved, expecting 'the pleasures of love' promised in pavanilla – is left in the end only with Corisca's curly wig. Although the range of feelings tormenting the characters is vast, they do not extend beyond good manners – which allegedly was the case with the author of the play, who has been expelled from his post in Bergamo due to the 'immoral conduct'. What more can one wish for during the Mardi Gras?

From the late Middle Ages to the nineteenth century the House of Savoy exercised dominion over a collection of lands that varied widely in terms of their topographic, linguistic, geographic, cultural, economic and political structures. Over the course of the same period this heterogeneity did not prevent (and perhaps even enhanced) dynastic claims of sovereign and, eventually, regal status. This conference will explore the nature of Sabaudian sovereignty, from territorial, courtly, and social perspectives, between the late fourteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Odd things in latest readership figures
February 15, 2015 Noel Turnbull
Newspaper circulation and readership figures are depressing for those brought up in an era when print was important. Not that it's now totally unimportant, just that it is neither the dominant influence nor the first port of call for PR people seeking to communicate with audiences.
But the latest Roy Morgan readership figures comparing 2013 and 2014 readership are interesting and, in some respects, surprising. The blog realises the newspaper industry publishes its own figures but the Morgan ones are still pertinent and don't get much attention in the mainstream media. In terms of readership totals the only newspapers where Monday to Friday readership were up were the Illawarra Mercury, Townsville Bulletin and the Northern Territory News while the Daily Telegraph lost more than 100,000 readers – presumably in the last case a 100,000 people no longer felt the need to consult a tabloid version of a Liberal Party internal magazine. In the case of the Illawarra Mercury and the Terror the increases were around 3,000 and 2,000 respectively. It might not seem like much, but represented increases of 6.6% and 5.4% at a time when everybody else was going backward.
Of course, the new mantra is that it is the cross-platform reach which is significant. Here the news wasn't that great either. Morgan defines the cross-platform audience as the number of Australians who have read or accessed individual newspaper content via print, web or app. Print is based on average issue readership while the online is a seven day average of website visitation and app usage. The big losers under this measurement were the Mercury, Herald Sun, West Australian, Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph, Australian, Newcastle Herald, Financial Review and the West Australian.
For those in the media hoping that quality is the answer the nation's two worst newspapers, The Adelaide Advertiser and the Courier-Mail, had increases in their cross-platform audiences. Others to do well were the Canberra Times, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald. All in all probably much better news for Fairfax (perhaps Ms Rinehart got out at the wrong time) than for the Murdoch papers.
One sidelight in the figures was the readership for weekend colour inserts. Other than the AFR the figures were universally abysmal and the declining ad content in all of them demonstrates that media buyers are recognising this. It's also bad news for PR people as there's nothing like a couple of colour pages in a weekend magazine to bulk out the media clipping file given to clients.
Of course this is all grist to the mill for those who expect social media to kill off traditional newspapers even though no social media news site remotely approaches the traditional media outlets for total reach. Moreover, in a rapidly segmenting communication environment any outlet which achieves something resembling a mass audience – such as TV – is still invaluable. Equally the massive reach of ABC news online, regional and local radio broadcasting continues to infuriate Rupert Murdoch which is, in itself, probably a good thing. Moreover, all the research indicates that it is still the most trusted Australian media source thereby also infuriating the Abbott government. There are not many media outlets which have two such desirable attributes.
The ready availability in Australia of print and/or online versions of the Guardian, Daily Mail, Economist, Financial Times, New York Times is also having an impact on Australian media readership. The blog, for instance, finds the weekend edition of the FT more useful than the daily AFR. More importantly both the FT and the Economist are a welcome contrast in terms of quality writing and freedom from parochial Australian media attitudes. Most importantly they are free of the banal self-serving rhetoric of Australian business leaders and the grovelling acceptance of the validity of their utterances. The Australian naturally both reaches and reflects many in this latter group. Nevertheless, its Monday to Friday daily newspaper readership only reaches a bit over 2% of the total voting public – although the cross-platform figures are better.

Parks & Recreation wants to buy soccer complex
By Editor | October 10, 2018 | 0
by Kate Evans
Morgan County Parks and Recreation Board president and Morgan County School Board president Aaron Close formally asked that the school board approve the sale of the Alex Rickli Recreation Complex to the Parks and Recreation Board for a nominal fee with the Morgan County Commission's approval.
The request came at the October 2 school board meeting in an official letter from Close and the Parks and Recreation Board so they can "continue the oversight and the enhancement of the facility in the upcoming future."
Close told the school board that the Parks and Recreation Board voted unanimously at their September 19 meeting to ask for the purchase of 9.8 acres at the U.S. 522 soccer complex from the school board on condition of the county commission's approval of the purchase.
A formal letter was also going to the County Commissioners asking for their approval and bilateral agreement with the school board for Parks and Recreation's purchase of the soccer complex.
Land history
The Morgan County Commission originally purchased the land for the soccer field complex in 2002 or 2004, Close said. The commission sold the facility to the Morgan County School Board for $1 in 2012 so the land could be eligible for a $200,000 brownfields clean-up grant. The site was closed in April, 2010 after shards of glass from crushed vehicles began surfacing in the soil.
An extensive site cleanup and soil remediation project was completed in the summer of 2017. Additional soccer fields, playground equipment and bio-retention ponds were added to the site before its grand opening in April.
With the remediation now completed, the school board buildings and ground committee had recently discussed returning ownership of the facility to the county commission or transferring ownership to another entity that could manage the facility if the commission didn't want it back, Close said.
Suited for site management
Close felt that the Parks and Recreation Board could well oversee and maintain the soccer recreation complex since it's comprised of nine members with three members each representing the County Commission, the Board of Education and the Town of Bath.
All three entities have a vested interest in the health and wellness of the community which the soccer recreation complex serves as a beautiful and safe multi-generational facility offering socialization, physical activity and mental relaxation for youth, families and individuals, Close said.
Close said that school board and County Commission members could call him with questions or concerns and they could set up a convenient time at a future meeting to review Parks and Recreation's request. Parks and Recreation director Dawn Beal could also be available to answer any further questions.

Looking for a great Pittsburgh Tutor? From elementary all the way up to college and graduate school, our experienced team at Grade Potential ensures that you'll receive the highest quality tutoring on your way to achieving your goals, all at an affordable price! We've worked with thousands of local students, so we know what it takes to be successful around here.
At the confluence of the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela rivers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the second largest city in Pennsylvania and the 26th largest in the United States. The first inhabitants of the area around what would become Pittsburgh were Native American tribes such as the Shawnee. The Shawnee and their descendants lived in the Ohio River Valley for several hundred years. In the 1600's they were temporarily uprooted by the Iroquois, but by the time the French and English began trickling into Pennsylvania and Ohio they had returned. They tended to side with those who could offer them the most benefits so they became allies of the French during the French and Indian War. With British victory in that war and in Pontiac's Rebellion, the Shawnee were permanently expelled from western Pennsylvania, pushed onto reservations or forced to move further west. One of the first European inhabitants of Pittsburgh was Englishman William Trent, who set up a trading post on the rivers to trade furs and merchandise with the Indians and French fur trappers. In 1754, the French, realizing the importance of this river junction, built Fort Duquesne. Only four years later the British General John Forbes and his forces captured the fort and renamed it after British Secretary of State William Pitt. After the American Revolution, Pittsburgh was a frontier town relying on boat building for settlers on the Ohio River and farming.
By the late 1800's, however, Pittsburgh had become the center of America's industrial revolution and scores of Irish and Eastern European immigrants had streamed into the city to work in the factories and mills. Pittsburgh became the steel manufacturing capital of the world, garnering the nickname "Steel City." Andrew Carnegie made his fortune in steel, establishing the Carnegie Steel Company in 1875. Unfortunately, much of this money was acquired on the backs of immigrant workers who pushed out unionized labor by accepting lower wages. These workers were often killed or maimed because of insufficient safety precautions. At the turn of the century, Carnegie sold his steel works to J.P. Morgan for $480 million, making him the richest man in the United States at the time. Whether he felt any guilt over the way he treated his workers is up for debate, but in his later years he made it his mission to give away most of his money, about $350 million to charities and foundations. His money built Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Carnegie Museums in Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.
It's likely that a Pittsburgh tutor will keep you ahead of the academic curve so you can escape the books to enjoy the broad variety of things to do in Pittsburgh.

Roast Chicken & Mash - Is This Chicken Really Safe to Eat?
It all started with this buther's shop on Mission. They had all kinds of Asian-friendly trappings: swimming crabs in tanks; slabs of salmon on ice; bright, healthy cuts of beef brisket; a wall of freezers with actual frozen fresh grated coconut - and a great big pile of lean chickens, skin on, never frozen, with fat that looked a fine yellow and cornfed. The people who worked there spoke Cantonese when I wandered in. By my estimation, a busy butcher's shop/fish monger with Cantonese-speaking staff has a higher chance of doing wonderful things, like chop crabs into easy-to-ravage parts, and sell proper stewing cow meat for five spice beef brisket. The nice Uncle behind the counter gave me a large whole chicken and 2 pounds of skinless chicken breasts (denture pink!) for $11.
One of the first things I probably learnt to cook, after scrambled eggs and tomato and cheese sandwiches, was roast chicken. Thanks to a mother who firmly believed whole chickens were better and fresher than those things that come out of plastic boxes, I wound up with a lot of roast chicken dinners and chicken soup lunches in college. A whole roast chicken lasts a single college student staying alone a long time, especially if you're smart about rationing how you re-cook the leftovers. I learnt to make mashed potatoes fairly quickly after that, because mashed potatoes and gravy are terribly comforting.
The recipe I use for making roast chicken is something I borrowed wholesale from my mother. I made it for dinner last night. Based on rough calculations of the correct oven temperature in Fahrenheit, based on the same mathematics that failed me for three terms straight in college (I wound up with a degree in computers), I ended up re-roasting the blasted thing 3 times. The chicken turned out great, barring a charred wing tip. The (massively) roasted bird was the juiciest chicken I'd ever had in my life. I swear, after roasting it the third time, I was ready to find a dried husk in the oven - instead, the chicken was not only still totally moist and tender with a bit of bite, it was semi-submerged in juice that overflowed past the onions I'd used to prop the whole thing. In fact, when I cut into the perfectly paper-thin skin, there were pockets of juice between the seams of meat.
There was a lot of meat. We will be having roast chicken-derived dishes for the next 3 days.
She'll probably say it's not hers.
1. Wash and pat dry the chicken.
2. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade.
3. Marinade chicken in your roasting dish for 3 hours and up. The longer you marinade it, the better. Make sure the salt is rubbed into all the seams of the chicken.
4. Pre-heat oven to 375F.
5. Prop the chicken onto the onions in your roasting dish. I suggest two halves under both ends of the bird.
6. Throw in the whole garlic cloves.
8. Roast chicken for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the juice runs clear.
9. You may baste the chicken in its own spa water during cooking.
10. Serve chicken with its drippings as a gravy.
You can peel the potatoes if you prefer that. But you do know that half the nutrients in a potato is in its skin, right?
1. Boil potatoes till you can run a fork through each spud.
3. Mash potatoes in a large bowl. If you're finding it hard to work through the potatoes, try quartering them first and adding a bit of milk.
4. Mash the roasted garlic cloves into the potatoes.
5. Stir in sour cream, parsley and seasoning.
3. we live in the same city now. i even work in your neighborhood. we should have tea some time, really. i can't recall whether i've ever known if you drink beer or not.
2. Two eggs always seemed like a huge luxury to me at breakfast. Four would fill me to the gills!
3. It is true that I'm not one for beer and its colourful and whacky relations. But I am greatly interested in tea, and tea with you sometime, really. I've been wondering about good places for tea and cake in this neighbourhood since I moved here. Recommendations are most welcome!

Meth Addiction Recovery and Treatment 101
Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant drug. Meth can boost mood, increase energy and feelings of well-being, and make you more alert, but it also has dangerous effects such as raising heart rate and blood pressure. After prolonged use, users can become incredibly paranoid or begin to act dissociative. Meth addiction can often cause varying levels of drug-induced psychosis, especially if the user has binged on the substance.
Methamphetamine & Meth Addiction Treatment
Meth is a man-made, bitter-tasting powder. Sometimes it's made into a white pill, or a shiny, white or clear rock called a crystal. Most of the meth used in the United States comes from "superlabs" – big, illegal laboratories that make the drug in large quantities. But it is also made in small labs using cheap, over-the-counter ingredients such as pseudoephedrine, which is common in cold medicines. Other chemicals, such as muriatic acid and battery acid, are also involved in making meth. The nature of the creation and substance can cause the meth addiction treatment process to be a long and difficult journey, but there is plenty of help along the way.
Some of the effects of meth on the user can cause euphoria, however long-term use can cause many health problems. The release of dopamine in the brain causes several physical effects, similar to those of other stimulants like cocaine. These effects include:
Feeling very awake and active
Fast heart rate and irregular heartbeat
Higher blood pressure
Higher body temperature
Increased risk for HIV/AIDS or hepatitis (a liver disease) from unsafe sex and shared needles
Effects of Long-Term Meth Use
Many users turn to meth for the short-term relief of depression or sadness. What they often don't realize, however, is that prolonged meth use can make their lives drastically worse than it was before.
The long-term effects of chronic methamphetamine use include:
Compromised immune system: Meth use can severely impact the body's ability to fight off illness, which is why addicts always seem to be battling one sickness or another.
Psychosis: Long-term, heavy use of methamphetamine can trigger psychotic episodes in users that closely resemble schizophrenia. Paranoia, hallucination, delusion and aggression are also common in long-term methamphetamine users.
Cognitive damage: Meth use destroys the brain's ability to produce dopamine naturally, leading to numerous cognition problems. The brain may regenerate over time, but for many, these changes can become permanent.
Continued methamphetamine use may cause additional effects that last for a long time, even after a person quits using the drug. These effects include:
Anxiety and confusion
Open skin sores caused by scratching
Frequent nausea and vomiting
Severe weight loss
Severe dental problems, aka "meth mouth"
Decreased blood flow to the extremities
Compulsive and repetitive behaviors
Meth Addiction and Treatment FAQs
Continue learning more about this dangerous drug by reading through our detailed responses to frequently asked questions about meth addiction:
What Is Meth Detox and What Should I Expect?
Methamphetamine detox consists of two phases: The first phase is the most uncomfortable, with symptoms peaking roughly 24 hours after the last dose and lasting for between 1 to 2 weeks; the second phase is characterized primarily by strong cravings for meth and can last for an additional 2 to 3 weeks.
Meth withdrawal is not typically life threatening, but severe addicts should enter a medically assisted detox program in case any serious complications arise.
The severity of withdrawal symptoms varies from person to person, depending on variables such as:
How long you have been using
How much meth you consume regularly
Your mental and physical health
Your use of other drugs and alcohol
Again, everyone experiences meth detox differently, but common withdrawal symptoms include:
Intense cravings for the drug
Problems concentrating
Anger and aggression
Fatigue and muscle weakness
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Meth Abuse?
There are a number of behavioral changes and physical symptoms that come with meth addiction. Common signs that someone has become addicted to meth include:
Becoming withdrawn from friends and family
Sudden unexplained financial trouble
Going without sleep for days on end
Displaying one or more meth withdrawal symptoms (see above)
Lying to friends and family about one's drug use
Legal trouble, including charges for drug possession, theft and disorderly conduct
Poor performance at work or school
To see more potential physical and psychological symptoms of meth addiction, refer to the "Effects of Long-Term Meth Use" section above.
Take our quiz to see if you have an addiction to methamphetamine:
Am I Addicted to Meth?
How Is Meth Ingested and for What Purposes/Effects?
Methamphetamine comes is a number of different forms and can be injected, snorted, swallowed in pill form, or smoked. The method of administration changes from region to region, but the effects are more or less the same.
People abuse meth for the powerful sense of euphoria and seemingly endless energy the drug provides users. Because methamphetamine causes the body to release large amounts of dopamine, many use meth to self-medicate feelings of depression, stress and other psychological disorders.
How Long Does Meth Stay in the Body?
How long methamphetamine stays in your system will depend on a number of different variables like age, weight, length of addiction, the size of the last dose, and your body's ability to metabolize the drug.
On average, it takes two to 10 days to completely eliminate meth from the body, with heavy users taking longer than light or occasional users. While meth can stay in a person's system for over a week, most urine tests are unable to detect the drug after 72 hours.
What Are the Slang Terms for Meth?
Slang terms for methamphetamine are constantly changing. After all, a big reason people refer to meth through coded language is to hide their use from those around them.
Some of the popular street names for meth are:
Go-go juice
Chalkdust
La ice
What Are Some Holistic Self-Help Recommendations for Meth Addiction Recovery?
The best way to overcome a serious addiction to meth is through an inpatient rehabilitation program that includes medically assisted detox. However, there are a number of steps that you can take on your own to overcome meth abuse or to supplement your treatment, such as:
Starting a new yoga practice
Eating a balanced, nutritious diet
Getting 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep every night
Taking up a new hobby, or rekindling an old one
Spending time with a sober group of friends
Keeping a gratitude journal
Start meditating (Vipassana and Metta meditation are great places to start)
Spending time in nature
Getting Meth Addiction Help
Getting help for meth addiction can be a very stressful and exhausting process. Due to the intense addictive properties of the drug, it can take a lot of willingness from the user to finally reach out for help. Whether you or your loved one is seeking help in finding the right treatment facility, we are here to help.
Treatment for methamphetamine abuse or addiction depends upon several factors, including the age and gender of the patient, the length and severity of the patient's drug problems, and the presence of any co-occurring disorders – such as past trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other mental disorders.
Treatment for meth abuse or addiction may include the following therapies and techniques:
Group intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment and therapy
Implementation of a 12-step program such as AA, NA or CMA
Relapse-prevention instruction
Optimal Treatments for Meth Addiction
Methamphetamine users are often unable to recognize problems related to their drug use, and as a result, techniques to promote change in the patient's thinking must be used. The most effective method of treatment for methamphetamine addiction is cognitive behavioral intervention. In this approach, treatment aims to modify the patient's thinking, expectations and behaviors to increase skills in coping with the stresses of life.
While there are currently no pharmacological treatments for methamphetamine addiction, antidepressants may be used to help ease depressive symptoms that often occur in methamphetamine users who have recently stopped using the drug. Most meth addicts require a supervised, medical meth detox program in order to be ready to enter a long-term treatment setting to recover from meth addiction.
The length of the treatment program is also an important factor in the recovery of methamphetamine addicts. Methamphetamine users may have a tendency to quickly drop out of treatment programs, but those who continue along the path of treatment can achieve long-term drug-free recovery. One of the best strategies to assure that this won't happen is to first have the patient go to a detox facility where they can receive supervised medical care in a safe and comfortable environment, followed by a three- to six-month program in an inpatient or residential treatment setting. While in treatment, it is highly recommended that the addict start attending recovery group support meetings in conjunction with therapy through an IOP facility.
Treatment programs also utilize strategies to prevent relapse – such as drug education, family and group therapies, and self-help groups. In these groups, users must learn to identify behaviors and situations that put them at high risk for using methamphetamine. This creates a structure that allows the patient to become actively involved in his or her recovery, and it will help prevent relapse.

Inoreader est un lecteur de contenu et de flux RSS en ligne pour les navigateurs Web et sous forme d'application pour les appareils mobiles exécutant iOS et Android. Il compile des flux d'actualités à partir de sources en ligne pour l'utilisateur dans une mise en page unifiée à personnaliser et à partager avec d'autres. Inoreader a été lancé par Innologica en 2013.

Histoire
En 2012, Ivo Djokov et Yordan Yordanov ont cofondé Innologica Ltd. Ils ont commencé à travailler sur un projet, appelé Inoreader, après avoir lu les spéculations de 2012 selon lesquelles Google Reader allait fermer. Les fondateurs ont cherché à créer une plate-forme utilisant les flux RSS avec une intégration des médias sociaux pour connecter les utilisateurs aux informations qu'ils trouvent intéressantes. En 2013, Inoreader a été officiellement lancé en trois versions : Basic, Plus et Professional, qui prenaient en charge à la fois RSS et Atom.

Après la sortie initiale d'Inoreader, plusieurs développeurs ont rejoint le projet et Innologica a ouvert son API à l'usage d'autres développeurs.

Interface
L'interface de l'application a évolué plusieurs fois à partir d'une première version, optimisée pour une large gamme d'appareils. L'application nécessite une inscription et peut être configurée pour récupérer les flux à intervalles réguliers. Fin 2013, Inoreader a bénéficié d'une mise à niveau de son expérience utilisateur et de sa conception. Outre la fonction de base de lecteur de contenu et de flux, Inoreader sert des fonctions supplémentaires, certaines des fonctionnalités sont :

 automatiser des tâches spécifiques avec des règles internes
 enregistrer des pages du Web pour les lire plus tard
 recherche dans tous les flux indexés, pas seulement les abonnements
 créer des recherches qui sont mises à jour avec de nouveaux articles correspondant à des mots clés spécifiques
 organisation des flux dans des dossiers et attribution de balises
 importation manuelle de flux d'autres agrégateurs
 afficher le contenu étendu de l'article
 Téléchargements PDF
 partage sur les réseaux sociaux et en interne dans la plateforme
 archive complète des éléments passés dans les abonnements de l'utilisateur

accueil
Les premières critiques de l'application ont été pour la plupart positives. Elle a été considérée comme l'une des principales alternatives à Google Reader et son interface utilisateur s'est avérée très similaire à celle de Google Reader. Elle a été principalement appréciée pour les nombreuses fonctions différentes qu'elle offre aux utilisateurs, dont la plupart sont incluses dans le plan de base gratuit, bien qu'avec une utilisation limitée. En 2015, Innologica a monétisé son application et introduit des publicités sur sa plateforme, un changement qui a été critiqué par ses utilisateurs. La société a ensuite annoncé que les publicités pouvaient être supprimées si l'utilisateur optait pour une mise à niveau de son abonnement.
