Ex 25:1-40 Moses receives instructions on building a sanctuary where God can dwell among his people. The 'Ark of the Covenant' – a portable gold-covered wooden chest containing the two tablets of stone inscribed with the Ten Commandments – is to rest in the innermost part of this sanctuary. It is to be accompanied by a gold-covered table containing an offering of twelve loaves of unleavened bread (the 'shewbread' – see Leviticus 24:5-9), and a gold lampstand (a 'menorah') with seven candles – a central candle and those on its six branching arms.
Ex 26:1-37 The 'Tabernacle' – a structure of curtains made of the finest linen and expensive yarns – surrounds the 'Ark of the Covenant' and forms the Most Holy Place at the heart of the 'Tent of Meeting' or the 'Tent of the LORD's presence'. This outer tent consisted of rams' skins with a covering of fine leather made from the hides of sea cows (dugongs).
Ex 27-30 Moses receives further instructions about altars, handbasins, priestly garments and the consecration of the priests to minister in the 'Tent of Meeting'.
He is told to construct two types of altar – a large bronze sacrificial 'four-horned' altar for burnt offerings (about 7.5 feet / 2.3 metres square and 4.5 feet / 1.4 metres high), and a smaller 'four-horned' gold-covered incense altar (about 1.5 feet / 0.5 metres square and 3 feet / 0.9 metres high) for burning fragrant incense every morning.
The priests (Aaron and his sons) are to be provided with a bronze washing bowl mounted on a portable bronze 'laver' stand so they can make themselves ceremonially 'clean' when entering the Tabernacle.
Their elaborate priestly garments include a linen 'ephod' (a sleeveless top with golden shoulder straps incorporating onyx gemstones engraved with the names of the Twelve tribes of Israel), a gold and linen breastpiece, a woven linen tunic, a blue robe, an embroidered sash and a linen turban.
In addition, every man aged twenty or over is to pay a tax for the upkeep of the Tabernacle.
Ex 31:1-11 Craftsmen are appointed to construct the 'Ark of the Covenant', the 'Tabernacle' and the 'Tent of Meeting'.
The Ark of the Covenant was constructed in c.1446 BC to hold the two tablets of stone inscribed with the Ten Commandments that were given to Moses by God on Mt Sinai. The guidelines inscribed on the two stone tablets formed part of the solemn covenant agreement (or 'testament') undertaken between the Israelites and God. The Israelites, as God's chosen people, agreed to follow these guidelines, while God, for his part, promised to bless them.
The Ark housing the two stone tablets was, essentially, a portable wooden chest made from acacia wood - a thorny tree which grows in the desert. It was carried on wooden poles, attached to the chest on each corner through a golden ring, and protruding at the front and rear. The chest and the poles were overlaid with gold to show how much the ark was valued and esteemed. On top of the cover, facing each other, were two golden cherubim – lions or bulls with human heads and outstretched wings – forming a throne (the 'Mercy Seat' or 'Judgement Seat') on which God could sit and dispense justice (see Exodus 25:10-22). The ark could be carried from place to place as the Israelites travelled towards the 'promised land' of Canaan.
Every time the Israelites made an encampment, the Ark of the Covenant was housed inside the 'Tabernacle' – a structure of fine linen curtains – inside a sheepskin and leather tent – called the 'Tent of the LORD's presence' or the 'Tent of Meeting'. The portable altar for burnt offerings, the smaller incense altar and the movable ceremonial washing stand were also housed inside the Tabernacle.
When the Israelites attacked Jericho in c.1406 BC during their conquest of Canaan, the Ark of the Covenant – symbolising God's presence with his people – was carried into battle to encourage the Israelites and to strike terror into their enemies (see Joshua 6:4). On a later occasion in c.1024 BC, the Ark and (presumably) the other treasures inside the Tabernacle were captured by the Philistines at the Battle of Ebenezer, and were then taken via Ashdod and Gath to Ekron. The Ark was only returned to the Israelites after debilitating diseases broke out in these Philistine cities (see 1 Samuel 4:1-11 & 5:1-12).
When David conquered Jerusalem and became king of the United Monarchy of Israel and Judah in c.1004 BC, he brought the Ark from Kiriath Jearim to his new capital (see 2 Samuel 6:1-19). It was some years, however, before his son Solomon, in c.968 BC, began building the magnificent Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant (see 1 Kings 6:1-38).
After the overthrow of Jerusalem in 587 BC by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Solomon's Temple was demolished and there is no further reference to the Ark of the Covenant in the Jewish Tanakh (the 'Old Testament').
There are many theories concerning the whereabouts of 'The Lost Ark'. Some suggest that the Ark, together with other Temple treasures, was taken with the Jewish exiles to Babylon. The Ethopian Orthodox church claims that the Ark was taken to Ethiopia by Solomon's son Menelik, and today lies in the Church of Mary of Zion at Aksum.
The apocryphal Second Book of the Maccabees, however, records that the prophet Jeremiah took the Ark of the Covenant and the Tent of Meeting from the Temple before Nebuchadnezzar sacked Jerusalem in 587 BC, and hid them in an unmarked cave on Mount Nebo (see 2 Maccabees 2:4-8).
Ex 31:11-18 The Israelites are commanded to observe the Sabbath day (Saturday) as a day of rest.

Q: Uploading to documentDB is missing inner JSON members of complex objects I am uploading data to the documentDB using the following code:
   private static async Task UploadEntry(OptimizationData entry)
    {
        try
        {
            string endpointUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("DocumentDBEndpointURL");
            string authorizationKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("DocumentDBAuthKey");
            string databaseId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("DocumentDBDatabaseId");
            string collectionName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("CollectionName");

            using (DocumentClient client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(endpointUrl), authorizationKey))
            {
                DocumentCollection documentCollection = client.CreateDocumentCollectionQuery("dbs/" + databaseId).Where(c => c.Id == collectionName).AsEnumerable().FirstOrDefault();

                if (documentCollection != null)
                {
                    await client.CreateDocumentAsync("dbs/" + databaseId + "/colls/" + documentCollection.Id, entry);
                }
            }

        }
        catch
        {
            //Ignored
        }

    }

Now my objects are of these types:
 public class OptimizationData
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public Dictionary<DateTime,OptimizationEntry> Optimization;
}

And Optimization Entry looks like this:
   [DataContract]
   public class OptimizationEntry
   {
    [DataMember]
    public decimal price{ get; set; }
    public decimal optimalPrice { get; set; }
    public decimal weight { get; set; }
   }

The problem is, when I look into my document explorer on azure's portal, the inner items of the dictionary are missing. I.e., it has datetime, and the first item (price) but not optimialPrice and Weight
"Optimization": {
"2016-01-27T21:00:00": {
  "price": 179.482711791992
},
"2016-01-27T22:00:00": {
  "price": 196.533660888672
},

 ....

Is there a way I'm supposed to insert the document so that the inner objects are not missed?

A: To answer the question for possible future people who need help, the reason they were not showing was that the OptimizationEntry only had "price" as [DataMember] so that it could be serialized, the other two did not. Therefore JSON serialization did not include them in the upload.

" I didn't even know we had cable. "
Around the time of or before the Great Mushroom War, an antiquarian named Simon Petrikov purchased a crown from a fisherman. As a joke, he put it on his head while showing it to his girlfriend Betty. He apparently did something which made Betty so upset she left him (though it is much later revealed that the man she left him for was his own future self). Under the crown's influence over time, his mind deteriorated until he became senile and crazy. He became the Ice King of the modern era of Adventure Time, the sociopathic, lonely ruler of the Ice Kingdom in the Land of Ooo, who kidnaps various princesses to keep as company and (he delusionally hopes) as girlfriends and wives. This behavior stems from his recalling Betty as his lost "princess." His favorite princess to kidnap is Princess Bubblegum, and he mistakenly believes they are dating. The protagonists Finn and Jake often rescue her. His minions include numerous penguins called various pronunciations of the name "Gunter," Glacial Golems, and Ice Titans.
In FusionFall, the Ice King is located within his fortress outside of Orchid Bay. While his basement and living room can be entered without a mission, the player must have one to enter the dungeons, a couple of which are inhabited by Fusions.
Player acquiring the Ice King
Despite his antagonistic rôle in the game, the Ice King is not a boss and does not seem to be associated with Fuse or any of the game's secondary villains, instead having his own personal agenda of obtaining a wife. To accomplish this, he kidnaps Princess Morbucks and Candy Wife and imprisons them. With the help of Finn, Jake, and Princess Bubblegum, the hero frees the two prisoners. Later, Ice King likewise kidnaps Princess Anna, and it is her sister Elsa and Gravity Falls' Dipper who support the hero in their rescue.
His Nano may be obtained when the Ice King contacts the hero for help, as he accuses his servant Gunter of suggesting kidnapping princesses; Gunter, however, denies the deed. Learning afterward that his penguin servants have disappeared, the Ice King sends the hero to Finn, who in turn sends the hero to a dungeon in the basement. After freeing the penguins, the player discovers Fusion Gunter, the real mastermind behind the "Ice King Invasion." After his defeat, the player earns an Ice King Nano. Since it turns out Fuse was manipulating the Ice King through Fusion Gunter into kidnapping Princesses and Ice King was not acting on his own accord, it seemed possible that Ice King would help the other heroes from then on, thus also freeing Finn and his friends to play a more active rôle in the war. His kidnapping of Princess Anna casts doubt on this.
The Ice King and his castle, located in Orchid Bay, as part of the Ice King Invasion adventure.
His Nano was originally supposed to be a code Nano, but for unknown reasons he received a Level 16 Nano mission.
There is a T-Shirt based on him that can be obtained by a Secret Snail.
In his castle there are two doll Nanos: Way Big and Alien X.
His Nano is the first to be released with a tie-in with a FusionFall Adventure.

MCCTA: A driving force on campus
Posted on October 23, 2016 by Dylan Gordon
At Marist College, there are a great many clubs, 95 to be exact, that students participate in on a daily basis. Whether this be to receive those precious Priority Points to get good housing or simply for the love of the ideals presented in the club, it is clear to see that the Marist community feels that student clubs and organizations are an important part of college life. Of all the clubs on campus, however, one organization praises itself as the club with the most active membership of them all.
This club is the Marist College Club of the Theater Arts, or as it is most commonly known, MCCTA. Why is this organization such a force on campus you may ask? Well, a look into the club's past and how it has evolved is the first step to answering this question.
MCCTA can trace its history back to the late 1950s, when, at the time, it was simply known as the Marist Theater Guild. It wasn't until the mid-to-late 1970s that the club started to evolve. Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, Gerard A. Cox, was the catalyst for the advancement of the club over the next 40 years. He was, and still is, a lover of the theater arts and, so, decided to become the advisor to the club.

"Under his guidance, he allowed to club to grow and change," said current Vice President of MCCTA, Curtis Brauner, who continued, "according to those who were at Marist during the time of Dean Cox, he really made the club a force on campus."
So, what is it that makes MCCTA such a powerful force on campus today? Is it simply the intervention of one dedicated individual like Dean Cox, or is there more to it? Curtis Brauner continued to help shed some light on this question when told me, "MCCTA has always been a place that anyone could go to. That's the point of theater. It's meant to be a mirror of society. MCCTA is a place where anyone who needs a place to go, who doesn't have another place they fit in, can go to find their niche. It's a safe haven."
Additionally, Professor John Roche, who was the President of MCCTA during the 1986-87 academic year, explained to me, "MCCTA draws in [people from] all walks of life. You don't have to be a theater kid in order to enjoy it. It's all about the different experiences that you have while active in this club. It provides an outlet for students to try something new, such as trying out for a show or giving acting a whirl." It is for reasons like the ones noted by these members of the club, past and present, that MCCTA has one of the most active memberships of any club on campus.
However, these are not the only things to consider when pondering the status of MCCTA. According to Professor Matt Andrews, Associate Advisor of the club, "MCCTA is one of the most active clubs on campus. What I mean by that is look at the scope of what we produce in any one year. Think about what one show entails. Depending on the size of the show, take A Midsummer Night's Dream for example, it has a cast of roughly 30 students, a crew of about 20. So that's 50 students, all working on one show. Take that and multiply it by the seven to nine shows we produce in a year. This is why we are such a force." These sentiments are supported by the 90-110 active members of the club per semester, as recorded by the Marist College club listings.

These numbers are hard to argue with and, the conclusions one can draw from the numbers are also evident from the opinions of other members of the club. When asked the same question, regarding why MCCTA is such a force on campus, current President of MCCTA, Kim Kenny explained, "Our membership is the main reason why. We have students who love the club and we have so many of them. This allows us to put on six, seven, eight productions a year, to provide entertainment for the people of our community, whether they love theater or not." Clearly, there is a deep love shared by the members of the club, for their organization.
MCCTA has also grown dramatically in the past seven to ten years. This phenomenon is explained well by Professor Andrews, "Theater is as popular as it has ever been thanks to productions like Hamilton. It is one of those shows that breaks all pop culture barriers." Professor Roche also echoed these same sentiments when he told me, "The arts are more important than they have ever been. Ever. In the whole world. We need the arts now more than ever. It's a way of bringing words to life and I think that having this club is an amazing way for students to take part in something as big as that." With such a testament to the arts coming from esteemed university professors, it is no wonder that a club so firmly dedicated to the arts, as MCCTA is, has such a powerful membership, all of whom are equally as dedicated to the arts as their professors.
So why is MCCTA such a huge deal? Is it the members who make up the club? Is it the dedication to the arts that is exemplified powerfully in its many shows each year? Could it be something simply innate to the nature of the people that advise and guide the club? Well, according to Professor Roche, "When you are a part of MCCTA, you learn skills you would never learn in the class room. Skills that can help you later in life, whether it be in a job or just life as a whole. You gain this knowledge through amazing, fun experiences. Theater is a great learning outlet, and I know its cliché, but you get bitten by the theater bug, and well, Marist has an infestation."
Simply put, MCCTA isn't a unique force on campus for any one reason. For all the searching that may be done into this matter, it seems that the answer is simple – MCCTA is a place that has a little bit of everything a person could need, with regard to the arts, and it is willing to share that passion, dedication, and friendship with anyone who finds themselves at the doorway to the Nelly Goletti Theatre.

Book Review: THIS IS WHY I CAME
Sculpture by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Der Gestürzte, 1915/16, plaster
This is Why I Came, a creative retelling of Bible back-stories which include character perspectives, has been reviewed in Washington Post, Ploughshares, Kirkus Reviews, O Magazine (on O's list of ten), Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly (starred review), The Atlantic. [Excerpts from the book are pasted below.]
Mary Rakow is the recipient of two Lannan Foundation Residencies and a Lannan Foundation Literary Fellowship. The Memory Room was shortlisted for the Stanford University Libraries International Saroyan Prize in Literature, a PEN USA/West Finalist in Fiction and was listed among the Best Books of the West by The Los Angeles Times. She comes to fiction from theology (MTS, Harvard Divinity School '74; Ph.D., Boston College) and lives in San Francisco where she is a freelance editor.
The words in the opening scene are choppy, hesitant, awkward — appropriate for describing a character who left organized worship many years ago. Press on, dear Reader, as the language and thinking awaiting you in this sparse-but-sprightly volume soon sparkle in radically imaginative prose. (Don't bolt if the denominational setting of the first scene does not align with your own, as such dramatic license has little to do with what's to come.)
Author Mary Rakow engages us with raw emotional responses which could have underpinned the thoughts of many characters in the original Bible stories, which she has now recast in ways that may or may not be true to their day — but that we can feel in our own reaction to these classic situations thru her words, thus entering the stories, ourselves. Finding ourselves in the Bible is the spiritual point of her project. She brings them alive for the reader, endeavoring to restore their relevance for today, which may be welcomed by some, or suspicious to others. Possessing the pen of a poet, she also has a PhD in theology. (Masters in Theological Studies, Harvard Divinity School, '74; PhD, Boston College.) Here's a taste:
ADAM THE MAKER: [. . .] no matter how hard he tries, to make the form he longs to see, the song he hears but cannot put outside himself, unable to compose the right sequence of notes, unable to make the form that will tell him who he is. He traces his hand, his foot, in the sand. Lying on his back, reaches over his chest with a stick, traces his entire body there then stands, but it does not move, unable to make a form like himself that also breathes. The water erasing it like an encouraging teacher at first, saying, try, try again, then mocking. [. . . ]
He wonders from where she comes. Wonders, since he has not made her, if there is a maker mightier than himself, one who, by implication, holds him in a deep understanding, his hunger clearly and intimately known by this other, as it has now been made visible in its answer, which causes him, as he stares at her, arm and leg and neck, to wonder if all the creatures in the sea and on the dry land and all the stars in the heavens that he thought he had made weren't made by him at all, but rather by this other. And he desires to know this one, and names the maker he cannot see but whose work he sees, "God."
¶ Now imagine Cain as a vegetarian, and Abel, an upstart who introduces the family to eating meat. ¿ Not quite the way you remember the story? It's intriguing, plausible. There now, you've got a glimpse of the idea of her book. (I've long envisioned Cain offering zucchinis for sacrifice, as he had so many he didn't know how to use them before they would spoil.) ¿ Could agriculture, a shortcut thru the swamp, have been the original sin which now imperils the planet with a population bomb? But that's not her story.
Skipping beyond her imaginative work on Genesis stories, let's fast-forward to the New Testament. Mary of Magdala is depicted as introduced to prostitution by her own mother, in an angry response to a god who had taken her husband, Mary's father, from them — this short chapter, along with a few others, can be read at thisiswhybook, sans advertising (can be read here.) (The original manuscript of the book contained images of religious art. Sadly, the art has been dropped, yet it still feeds the spirit at the link, above.)
Her book is reflective of a desire to reconsider Bible stories broadly in the modern era, as evocative of a spiritual sense which still persists, if perhaps only latently for some. Her effort offers fresh perspective, inviting us into an inner dialog with her chosen Bible stories, freshly reconsidered.
A small disappointment to this reviewer is any mention of the ethical teachings of Jesus – sermon on the mount – which earlier engaged me to take some editorial liberties with the text, at this, my blog: https://meridagoround.com/?p=3046. These are the lynchpin of his career, after all. And I'm not convinced that she delivers on the promise implied in her title, but I feel recharged by her writing — so I gratefully, enthusiastically, award her five stars .
A note to me in an email from the author, whom I recently met online:
. . . my hope is that the book [would] function like a large table around which all persons of goodwill could sit and listen to each other, regardless of faith or affiliation or atheism, secular humanism, etc, goodwill and curiosity being the only thing to bring to the potluck, as it were.

The AIM NetworkNews and PoliticsNSW Labor opposition leader makes sense in daily pressers
NSW Labor opposition leader makes sense in daily pressers
Written by: Mel Mac
Gladys Berejiklian and Opposition leader Chris Minns (Image from sbs.com.au - Photos souced from AAP Image/Pool, Lisa Maree Williams/Joel Carrett)
Mel Mac http://www.melmacpolitics.com
Opposition leaders and shadow ministries not getting enough air-time in traditional media, means that they're unable to do their job keeping governments, ministers, and portfolios to account. We aren't a democracy without their contributions. A prime example of this is NSW Opposition leader Chris Minns. Last week when NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, made the shock announcement about the daily Covid pressers, Minns announced his own presser for the vacated timeslot. Despite Berejiklian saying that Sunday was her last presser she held another one yesterday.
Minns held his short presser yesterday at 11am via Facebook with his Shadow Health Minister, Ryan Park. The lack of dead corporate language used as well as their to-the-point communication style was refreshing. Key points made were about the need for the NSW government to do daily pressers with clear communication, and the need for the opportunity to scrutinise decisions that they make. Other points made were about our healthcare system being in crisis, for Berejiklian to be accountable, and for other people in her Covid management team to do the pressers if she can not.
For today's presser Minns was joined by his Shadow Minister for IR, Work, Health & Safety, Sophie Cotsis, and Dr Jamal Rifi at Belmore Park, the home of the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs. Cotsis explained how the community-led response there has boosted their vaccination rate from 20 percent to closer to 90 percent, for the first vaccine dose in 2 months.
Minns then thanked Dr Rifi for his "amazing work on behalf of the people of NSW, his care for his community and the innovative way that he approaches medicine and community care. Putting up a tent in your front yard in order to make sure that vaccinations were distributed to so many people is an example of Australian ingenuity and world class care."
Next on the agenda was Minns calling for NSW Parliament to be brought back so that the government can explain the reasons for their policies, and how they impact millions of people in NSW. Minns also reasoned that daily pressers were needed not for "gotchas" or "politicking" but to clear up confusion about local health orders.
Dr Rifi then relayed the good news about his drive-through vaccination clinic at the Bulldogs sports ground being approved by the Commonwealth Department of Health, for the next 6-weeks. It will operate 3-days a week as of this week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Dr Rifi explained that people were safer being vaccinated in their cars rather than indoors where exposure to Covid is higher. As well as the benefits of vaccinating kids with their families, and whole families being immunised at once.
Dr Rifi also said that if NSW Health gave them more vaccines on top of what the federal government has given them, they could operate 7-days a week because demand there far outweighs supply. The problem is a lot of workers there work long hours and can't get their second jabs on weekends, but if they lift the curfew hours it will make it easier for workers to use the drive-through after hours at night. Kudos to Canterbury-Bankstown Council, Bulldogs League Club and the SES volunteers for helping to make all of this happen, heroes really don't wear capes.
The presser wraps up with Minns reiterating that we need daily pressers from the NSW government because "you can't make up rules that affect 7 million people, and then not explain the application of these rules over the coming weeks."
The NSW Labor leader also had this to say about the NSW Parliament sitting idle: "If we're sending 15 and 16-year old kids off to Coles and Woolworths to work to keep supermarkets open, then politicians should be going back to work."
After watching these illuminating pressers it's clear South West Sydney and Western Sydney are not being treated fairly. Curfews do need to be assessed and a clear explanation provided for why they still need to be in place in all areas especially those with low case numbers. Every effort should be made to help communities there to get their second dose without losing their income. It's clearly not a case of people in these postcodes not wanting to be vaccinated, Delta made that call for them and many of us months ago. They don't need more 'get the jab' messaging they just need more vaccines.
Every single political party turned up to parliament just now.
NSW Labor. One Nation. The Greens. Animal Justice Party. Shooters, Fishers and Farmers. Christian Democrats.
But the Government refused to allow it to sit.
There is no health advice that says we cannot sit. pic.twitter.com/xvJ8YpqmW5

The party for corruption in NSW and Canberra and the enablers, the maggots, the media whores and the very shrill harlots. What a confluence of parasites and bastards.
Now a secret admirer bails out the 'alleged' rapist who declares he has no idea who it is. Even Turnbull is outraged. But this is par for the course for the most unashamedly corrupt bunch of bastards ever to rule this country. If this does not register with the voters, they are just as bad as the government.

Dryden Theatre reopens; Zoom and outdoor shows coming to Geva
By James Brown
As capacity restrictions on entertainment venues ease, organizations are approaching the change differently.
Venues like movie theaters and comedy clubs can now fill a third of their capacity, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Larger venues like the Dryden Theatre, which has a capacity of 500, can seat up to 100 people inside and 200 outside.
The Dryden's Jared Case said they're opening right away. The theater held sold-out screenings of "Citizen Kane" and "Rear Window" this past weekend, the first movies shown in 15 months at the theater, located at the George Eastman Museum. The theater closed for construction at the end of 2019, and the COVID-19 pandemic kept its doors shut until Friday.

Moviegoers await a screening at The Dryden Theatre.
"Our audience is just incredible, and the response has been great, with people just wanting to get back to the theater and see movies on the big screen," Case said.
He said the films are the first leg of a tribute to the late Pulitzer Prize winner Jack Garner. Garner, a famed film critic and longtime Rochester resident, died last summer.
Case said they'll have to cut some corners, though, to keep costs low until they can welcome even more people back. He said that means they will not pay for films to be shipped to them until at least summer, but the average movie-goer will likely not notice.
"Luckily, we have this enormous library of films. We advertise 28,000 films in our collection," Case said.
The Dryden will have new health and safety measures, including improved air filtration, in accordance with New York state standards, along with other changes.
Other venues, like Geva Theatre Center, are choosing to wait a little longer. Geva's Melissa Boyak said they're optimistic that the capacity limits will grow in the coming months but added they're not expecting an in-person performance for months — and likely not one at the Geva itself until fall.
She said planning a play is intensive. It takes money and requires hiring dozens of people. She said to make their budgets work, they need a higher capacity.
Geva Theatre Center
"We cannot function effectively and profitably with 33 percent capacity," Boyak said. "It's not like we can turn on a light switch and have a show. Even if an announcement came out today that said we could do 80 percent capacity, we still could not do a show right now, because there's a lot of work required to make that happen."
Boyak also said they need more details on what they can and cannot do.
"We have some infrastructure that we want to make absolutely sure is in order," Boyak said. "Guidance has not been exactly clear from the CDC and the state. We want to make absolutely sure we're doing everything right."
She said they're planning the theater's first Zoom show next month. It's called "The Real James Bond … Was Dominican."
Boyak said Geva is planning to bring an outdoor production of "Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash" to town this summer. They don't know where the show will be yet, but they're hoping for a city location.

As the season starts to change, many look forward to wrapping up and indulging in a festive latte from their favourite coffee shop.
Yet these delicious, warming drinks are secret sugar-bombs that can contain more sugar than a can of coke.
One drink alone can even push a person over the NHS' guideline of consuming no more than 30g, or seven-and-a-half teaspoons, of sugar a day.
Below are three of the worst offenders, which could cause you to pile on the pounds if you over indulge in the upcoming festive season.
Costa's newly launched 'Bonfire spiced family' includes a latte, hot chocolate and cold coffee, all of which are made with 'rich caramel toffee' and 'crunchy caramel'.
Although it sounds delicious, a small Bonfire hot chocolate made with whole milk contains a staggering 36.9g, or nine teaspoons, of sugar and 311 calories. This one drink alone therefore takes a person over their recommended daily sugar limit.
A standard-sized can of Coca Cola contains 35g, or eight teaspoons, of sugar.
Starbuck's 'fall favourite' Pumpkin Spice Latte has notes of 'pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove', topped with whipped cream.
The drink can be prepared with a variety of different dairy-free milks, with a small almond 'mylk' variety being the least sugary with 20.6 grams, or five teaspoons, of sugar.
Opting for the large oat milk option, however, will have you consuming a staggering 48.9g, or 12 teaspoons, in that one drink alone.
And Gregg's Pumpkin Spice Latte, which comes topped with a 'golden biscuit crumb', includes 31g, or seven teaspoons, of sugar, as well as 240 calories.
Kawther Hashem, nutritionist and researcher for Action on Sugar, told The Sun seasonal lattes are 'laden with an unbelievable amount sugar and calories', which likely contributes to the UK's high rate of tooth decay.
A Costa Coffee spokesperson told MailOnline: 'The Bonfire Spiced Hot Chocolate is one of a range of drinks that we have launched as part of our autumn campaign.
A Greggs spokesperson added: 'Our limited edition Pumpkin Spice Latte caters for customers who want to enjoy an occasional seasonal treat.
Starbucks previously argued it has already cut its Pumpkin Spiced Latte's calorie content by 10 per cent and sugar by 13 per cent since last year.
This comes after research released earlier this found children in England have reached their recommended amount of added sugar for the year by the end of May.
NHS guidelines claim children aged between four and six years old should eat no more than 19g each day. Seven to 10 year olds should stick to 24g.
Yet data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey reveals, on average, children are consuming 52g a day, which is the equivalent of five Cadbury's Freddo bars.
Over the course of a year, this amounts to roughly 19,050g of added sugar – more than double the recommended 7,850g.


Hospitals facilities that are licensed, registered, or similarly recognized by the state as a hospital. This means hospitals require recognition as a hospital to qualify for any tax exempt considerations. Hospital organizations may treat multiple buildings as a single hospital facility operating under a single state license.
How do tax exempt hospitals benefit communities?
Tax exempt hospitals are required to provide community benefit to be tax-exempt charitable organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since hospitals were traditionally run by religious or philanthropic organizations, becoming tax exempt was a natural progression. Regardless of the origin, a tax exempt hospital presents many benefits to the community.
What are the new requirements for charitable 501(c)(3) hospitals?
Because of a lack of uniformity in definitions and reporting, there was a call for a separate schedule for hospitals on Form 990, the annual tax return filed by nonprofits and tax-exempt organizations. Because of this, there is a discussion draft of a new Schedule H, where hospitals will report their impact and community benefit.
Which 990 Form should hospitals file?
Hospitals are required to File 990, Schedule H to provide information on the activities and policies of, and community benefit provided by, its hospital facilities and other non-hospital health care facilities that it operated during the tax year. This includes facilities operated either directly or through disregarded entities or joint ventures.

Targeted Attack Infiltrates At Least 20 Companies
Attackers conducted a sustained espionage campaign against a score of private- and public-sector targets with links to policies of interest to China
Beginning in mid-2011, a widespread series of cyberattacks targeted more than a score of private firms, think tanks, and government organizations with links to policies of interest to China.
While attributing attacks to a specific actor is difficult, the attackers used a common command-and-control server to manage the exploitation and control of computers within each victim's network. In its research into the attacks -- dubbed Project Enlightenment -- security intelligence firm Cyber Squared managed to infiltrate the attackers' communications channel and gather information on the attacks, says the firm's CEO Adam Vincent.
"We were able to monitor the threat as they interacted with the victims, specifically tested their exploits, ran their exploits, potentially found their exploits were not executing, and then ran new exploits," Vincent says. "At that point, they sat back and managed the victim over time."
The targets of the attacks were diverse: A mining corporation with interests in the automotive industry. Canadian judicial offices handling the extradition of a Chinese national. A major law firm with clients all over the globe. And an international maritime group with connections to the United Nations.
While at first blush the victims appeared to have little in common, each had some link to Chinese strategic interests, Vincent says.
"A lot of work isn't on the technical side -- it was actually figuring out why: Why was a company attacked on this day," Vincent says. "We had to analyze dozens of victims in order to be able to say that this was for a certain strategic purpose."
The news of the attacks came the same week that the United States' Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) issued an alert about a sustained campaign of phishing attempts aimed at infiltrating the natural gas pipeline sector. The attacks, which started in December, appeared to have breached several utilities; alerts issued to the natural gas sector requested that companies allow the attacks to continue, apparently to aid U.S. intelligence gathering, according to an article in the Christian Science Monitor .
Such attacks appear to becoming more numerous and tenacious, says Tom Patterson, lead partner for security company CSC's consulting group.
"The attackers are looking at specifically seeing which employees at which companies are good targets for an attack," he says. "That's what our clients are seeing right now."
[Researchers revealed details of a new advanced persistent threat attack that uses a combination of methods in an effort to steal sensitive operations, exploration, and financial data from petroleum and energy companies. See 'Night Dragon' Attacks Threaten Major Energy Firms.]
The attack discovered by Cyber Squared began in early- to mid-2011, but was not discovered until a September phishing attack targeted a policy organization that had a central role in the Taiwanese Airpower Modernization Act (TAMA). The phishing attack failed to succeed, but the organization asked Cyber Squared to investigate, says Vincent, who refrained from giving specific details of the victims of the attacks.
The TAMA organization foiled that specific attack, but a persistent adversary will mostly like get into a company's network, Vincent says.
"Anyone that a sophisticated adversary targets, the adversary knows what they have and knows they can go one step above that organization's defenses to gain a foothold," he says.
Companies in specific industries should band together and share information on attacks that target their industries, says CSC's Patterson. In addition, threat intelligence can help companies determine where they should focus their defensive efforts.
While users can help companies stave off attackers, targeted firms should not rely on their users making the right choice, says Anup Ghosh, founder and CEO of endpoint security firm Invincea.
"Many companies think, 'If I could only get my users to be smarter, then I wouldn't have this problem," he says. "But instead of blaming the users, we need to try a different tactic -- training and awareness are not going to get us there."
Of course, companies have to care about security enough to put up a good defense. In the case of Project Enlightenment, not a single victim responded to Cyber Squared's warning about their breaches. Some may have shut down the attackers based on information provided by the firm, but others continue to be compromised, Vincent says.
"They are still operating many of their espionage campaigns," he says.

Israeli officials finally break silence on the political unrest in the Latin American country as Netanyahu issues official statement recognizing Venezuelan self-declared interim president as the country's legitimate leader.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israel had decided to recognize the opposition in Venezuela as the country's official government. According to official sources the move comes in light of intense pressure applied on the Israeli government by the United States.
"Israel joins the United States, Canada, most of the countries of Latin America and countries in Europe in recognizing the new leadership in Venezuela," said the prime minister in a video message.
Up until now, Israeli officials kept mum on the unrest in Venezuela due to fears it might harm the Jewish community in the Latin American country after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro broke off diplomatic ties with the United States. Maduro's government has been accused of fostering anti-Semitism and extreme anti-Israeli views due to Venezuela's expanding relations with Iran.
Last week, Maduro ordered American diplomats to leave the country within 72 hours, after Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself interim president during a rally on Wednesday. Guaido's call for elections in the country quickly won the backing of the Trump administration, and was later followed by similar statements from Canada and a slew of right-leaning Latin American governments, including Venezuela's neighbors Brazil and Colombia.

Post-Politik (auch Postpolitik) ist ein zeitdiagnostischer Begriff der politischen Philosophie, mit dem Gesellschaften beschrieben werden, in denen die bestehende politische Grundstruktur als unveränderlich und alternativlos betrachtet wird und in denen der grundsätzliche politische Konflikt fehlt. Es gibt Überschneidungen zu dem, was Postdemokratie meint. Während es bei Postdemokratie aber um den Verlust von Partizipation geht, steht bei Post-Politik die Abwesenheit von Auseinandersetzungen (Diskurs-Verzicht) im Vordergrund.

Chantal Mouffe und Slavoj Žižek verwenden den Begriff unter Rückgriff auf Jacques Rancières Kritik der Konsensdemokratien. Für Rancière ist Politik notwendigerweise konfliktreich, das konfliktfreie Feld der Politik nennt er Polizei (eine Reihe von Prozeduren mit denen Macht organisiert, Konsens hergestellt und Plätze sowie Rollen innerhalb der Gesellschaft attributiert werden). Žižek versteht unter Post-Politik die Verwerfung des Politischen zugunsten von Policy-Maßnahmen, endlosen Verhandlungen sowie Politikmanagement. Mouffe nennt die Politik des dritten Weges, wie sie von den Soziologen Anthony Giddens und Ulrich Beck als "Propheten einer »Politik ohne Gegner«" vertreten wurde, Post-Politik.

Beide, Mouffe und Žižek, sehen die Gefahr von Post-Politik darin, dass der verdrängte Antagonismus als rassistischer Hass und als Rechtsextremismus wiederkehren könnte, besonders wenn der Rechtsextremismus das einzige diskursive Angebot in einer vollständig konsensualen Gesellschaft ist.

The University of North Carolina Wilmington developed and delivered WebU@UNCW (WebU) to address the needs of individuals pursuing professional or personal development. According to WebU's director, the university expects an 85% completion rate for these non-credit courses. During WebU's first thirty months, only 68% of participants enrolled met the requirements for completion. A needs assessment was conducted to find out the causes of the problem and solutions to bridge the gap. Allison Rosset's Training Needs Assessment model was employed to guide the process. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed. Findings revealed that most participants had positive attitudes regarding WebU, but time required to complete courses was the major factor contributing to dropping out. Solutions included restructuring WebU courses to emphasize and manage time requirement expectations through course descriptions, e-mail, course announcements, and online orientation.

Mem ories of a 10 Year Old
Joe Posnanski, one of my favorite blog writers, has a theory on his blog that most fans want baseball to remain the same as it was when they were 10 years old. It is the age when you really discover and start to understand the game. I think the key to this is that at about 10 years old, you start to look at the world a little differently. I have a 10 year old daughter and she is now aware of events that go on around the world and has an interest in what is going on outside of her immediate surroundings. She is concerned about what is happening in Japan and Libya right now. As a sports fan, she is more aware of the strategies that go into a game. Meanwhile, whenever I take my 7 year old to a game, he is more concerned about when the cotton candy vendor is going to come around. He has barely any idea what is going on in the game, but he can spot the cotton candy vendor all the way across the field and then proceeds to pester me for the next three innings wondering if he is going to run out of cotton candy before he gets to our section.
Anyway I ramble a bit, but I grew up in suburban Detroit and was born in late 1973. In 1984, I was 10 years old and 1984 represents baseball as the perfect way it is to be played. What a time to come of age as a fan of the Detroit Tigers. My dad took me to games at the old Tiger Stadium before this season, and much like my son now, I think I was more concerned with the concession stand. I had baseball cards from before this year, but I think I bought alot of them thinking I was getting real baseball gum. But in 1984, I started following every game on the radio (yeah every game wasn't on TV then) and learned more about the players and where they came from and their stats. Anyway, who knew that your hometown team doesn't win the World Series every year. In fact I am still waiting for them to come around again. I wonder if I had turned 10 in 1994 during the beginning of the Randy Smith era if I would've even cared about the Tigers. But the events in 1984 set me up as a Tiger fan for life.
How Go od Was This Team?
This team was tied for the 2nd best record of the 1980s. Only the 1986 Mets were better with 108 wins and the 1988 Oakland A's also had 104 wins. Looking at all three rosters, it seems like both the Mets and A's had an all-star (or near all-star) at every position and a solid pitching staff from 1-5. Beyond the first 3 starters, the '84 Tigers really didn't have much. This may be surprising, but no player on this roster is in the Hall-of-Fame. Only the manager is in the Hall-of-Fame. There were issues all season trying to find a third baseman. But everything went right in 1984. They were an up and coming team for awhile. The core players mostly all came up together in the late 1970s and by 1984 were in the prime 26-32 age range, with Alan Trammell being the 2nd youngest of the starters, but probably the real team MVP. It seems that alot of these players may have had their best seasons career wise in 1983, but they were real close in 1984. Chet Lemon may have had his best season ever in 1984 and Kirk Gibson and Alan Trammell probably had their 2nd best seasons. The bullpen with a one-two punch of Aurelio Lopez and Willie Hernandez was lights out. The bench led by Barbaro Garbey, Ruppert Jones, and Marty Castillo was excellent.
Willie Hern andez - Cy Young & MVP
The final piece of this puzzle came in the last week of spring training. The Tigers traded long time player Johnny Wockenfuss and probably the only player of value to come through their farm system in the 1980s, Glenn Wilson, for Willie Hernandez and Dave Bergman. This trade made the bullpen lights out as Willie Hernandez was probably the best pitcher on this team. He would win MVP and Cy Young. I think what won him both of these awards is that the Tigers were close in 1983, and it did appear that he was the final piece in the puzzle. Plus it was noted that he only had one blown save for the year. His statistic line looked like this 32 saves, 1.92 ERA, 112 strikeouts in 80 games. He led the league in games pitched and games finished. I think the 32 saves is deceiving as the Tigers weren't in that many close games for the season. But was he really good enough to win both awards? I ask this question because the stats don't seem that eye-popping and he had a very average career besides 1984 and maybe 1985.
Here are th e players in order who received Cy Young votes:
Dan Quisenberry - led the league with 44 saves, and a had a sub 3.00 ERA
Bert Blyleven - pitching for a last place team went 19-7 with a sub 3.00 ERA
Mike Boddicker - led league in wins with 20 and ERA with a 2.79
Dan Petry - went 18-8, best starter on best team, best season of his career
Dave Stieb - actually finished 7th in the voting, led the league in WAR, but only had 16 wins...this was significant in 1984
I would say Hernandez probably was the best pitcher, he did what he had to do and had a sub 2.00 ERA. Actually I probably would've voted for Boddicker, but not a bad choice.
Now for MVP
Kent Hrbek - not sure why he would've finished 2nd, even going with traditional stats, he was 7th in batting average, 7th in RBI
Eddie Murray - awesome season, .306-29-110 and led league in OBP
Don Mattingly - led league in hits, batting average, doubles, and OPS+, although nobody knew what that was then, also had 110 RBIs
Kirk Gibson - the Tigers leader in runs scored, 2nd in HR and RBI
Tony Armas - led league in homers and RBI with 43-123, best season of his career
Alan Trammell - finished 9th, led Tigers in OBP
Cal Ripken - if you buy into Bill James win shares, he was the league leader beating out Hernandez by 13 win shares...finished 27th in MVP voting...I could rant about win shares but maybe I will save that for another post
What may have given Hernandez this award is that no one stood out. Armas led the heague in HR and RBI, but has an awful batting average and the perception that Fenway helped. I think Eddie Murray may have been the best overall player, but the Orioles fell from World Champions to 5th place in the division, so they were ignored in award voting.
The Car ds
18 players on this roster could be found in the Topps set in a Tigers uniform. Dave Gumpert was in the minor league system in 1984 but did appear on a Topps card. Another 7 could be found in the Topps Traded set, including the before mentioned MVP/Cy Young winner, Willie Hernandez. The only player on this roster with a card in a non-Topps set was Mike Laga. Laga had the least number of plate appearances for a position player on this team. He had been a member of the Tigers since 1982 and would go on to play for the Cardinals and Giants ending his career in 1990. This is his rookie card. He would only have one more card, in the 1987 Topps set showing him as a badly airbrushed member of the Cardinals.

You may already know about it - but a book that might interest you is "The Final Season" by Tom Stanton. It's a great book about a writer who went to every game of the last year in Tiger Stadium. I'm not a Tigers fan, but it was great book.

Ricardo Sáenz de Ynestrillas Martínez (Madrid, 9 de abril de 1935 - Madrid, 17 de junio de 1986) fue un comandante de Infantería del Ejército español.

Biografía
Sirvió durante cinco años en el Sáhara en la X Bandera de la Legión, en el Batallón de Montaña de Barbastro (Huesca) y más tarde en la Brigada Paracaidista. Fue profesor de oficiales en la Academia  General del Cuerpo de Policía Armada y de Tráfico.  Ascendió de capitán a comandante el 10 de agosto de 1978.

Sáenz de Ynestrillas participó en un intento de golpe de Estado conocido como Operación Galaxia junto a Antonio Tejero,
 que fue abortado por el Gobierno de Adolfo Suárez y que consistía en retener al gobierno en Moncloa durante la celebración de un consejo de ministros. Su implicación en él no le supuso perder su rango militar, a pesar de que en mayo de 1980 un consejo de guerra lo condenó a seis meses y un día de prisión por aquellos hechos como autor de un delito de conspiración y proposición para la rebelión.

Fue arrestado nuevamente en 1981 por su supuesta participación en un golpe de Estado que iba a darse el 23 de junio de 1978.

También fue acusado de planear la detención de todas las autoridades de la nación en la fiesta que ofrecía el rey Juan Carlos en el Palacio Real con motivo de su onomástica, causa que fue sobreseída por el juez Ricardo Varón Cobos.

De igual modo se le acusó de planear un ataque con bomba bajo la tribuna de autoridades en la que deberían estar la familia real, Felipe González y Narcís Serra el día de las Fuerzas Armadas en La Coruña en la denominada "Operación Zambombazo" que fue desactivada por el CESID el 2 de junio de 1985.

Fue asesinado por ETA en Madrid en 1986 cuando se encontraba destinado en la jefatura de personal de la Capitanía General de la I Región Militar. Su automóvil oficial fue ametrallado por varios miembros de la organización terrorista ETA, entre ellos Iñaki de Juana Chaos. Junto con él murieron otros dos militares, el teniente coronel Carlos Vesteiro Pérez, y el soldado Francisco Casillas Martín.

Familia
Nació en una familia de tradición militar. Era hijo de Alfredo Sáenz de Ynestrillas, militar y camisa vieja de Falange que participó en la guerra civil española; nieto de Ricardo Sáenz de Inestrillas y Pardo, oficial de Infantería; y bisnieto de Ramón Sáenz de Inestrillas, general que combatió por Don Carlos en la tercera guerra carlista.

Fruto de su matrimonio nacieron tres hijos: Martín, Jesús y el exdirigente falangista y abogado Ricardo Sáenz de Ynestrillas Pérez.

SUMMARY: So here's an odd little conundrum: If you'd like to have sweet-smelling breath the next time you're pulled over, it's highly advisable that you use mouthwash every day. (After all, you can't predict when you'll be stopped by cops, unless you're planning on speeding.) However, unless you use an alcohol-free mouthwash, there is a chance that your anti-halitosis regimen can land you a DUI charge.
So here's an odd little conundrum: If you'd like to have sweet-smelling breath the next time you're pulled over, it's highly advisable that you use mouthwash every day. (After all, you can't predict when you'll be stopped by cops, unless you're planning on speeding.) However, unless you use an alcohol-free mouthwash, there is a chance that your anti-halitosis regimen can land you a DUI charge. This is true no matter what country you live in, as evidenced by a recent article in the Hong Kong Standard. The piece pointed out that in India, the odds of this happening are especially tilted, since police officers there often use their noses to diagnose drunkenness, rather than utilizing a breathalyzer. Why would Indian cops use their sniffers instead of a finely calibrated machine? "If we start checking each of them with sensors, it will lead to traffic snarls on the road," one officer explained to the news source. Still, even in the U.S., where breathalyzers set the standard for DUI evidence collection, any driver who doesn't use a specialty, alcohol-free mouthwash runs the risk, however slight, of getting hauled in for boozing that they didn't have the pleasure of actually experiencing. The ability of alcohol-based mouthwashes to register on a breathalyzer is no myth. Studies in journals like the aptly titled Alcohol and Alcoholism show that recent use of an alcohol-based mouthrinse can easily mimic a blood-alcohol content above 0.08. This is because, as you might expect, most common mouthwashes are brimming with alcohol. According to the myth-exploring newspaper column The Straight Dope, some of the most popular mouthwashes for halitosis contain about 27 percent alcohol by volume. This means that taking a breath test shortly after using such a product will make it seem as though you've just taken a shot of a very stiff drink. Adding to this problem is the simple fact that alcohol-based mouthwashes are everywhere. According to our very own Dr. Katz, at least 99 percent of mouthwash formulas contain alcohol! This puts TheraBreath's alcohol-free mouthwash in the very slender 1 percent of specialty rinses that skirt alcohol breath and resolve your halitosis without running the risk of landing you in a crowded drunk tank. The lesson here is simple. If you want to alleviate your bad breath without running the risk of earning a wrongful DUI, TheraBreath's alcohol-free mouthwash is right for you.
