That combination of the dislocation of the familiar continues in the second half of the Aeneid. Aeneas and his men have arrived in Italy at last, and the king there has welcomed them warmly and offered his own daughter to Aeneas in marriage. (Does anyone remember Dido at this point?… I suppose that's just me, then.) But just one guess who comes in to spoil the party: yes, that's right! Juno! Again! She Who Hates Troy For Totally Petty Reasons! I flashed back to episode after episode of the Iliad and the Odyssey in which Juno (Hera) cruelly prolonged the war and gave the Argives the advantage in any way she could think of. This time, she creates hatred for the Trojans among the Italians, especially with Turnus, and disrupts the plans for peaceful marriage.
The rest of the book is war. Venus, Aeneas's mother, asks her husband Vulcan to make a shield for Aeneas (recalling the armor made for Achilles in the Iliad.) The Trojan soldiers are put under siege again, a different kind of warfare than in the open field, and Virgil describes each blow, whether noble (Nisus and Euryalus, best friends off to fight and die at each other's sides) or not (Mezentius, so brutal that his own troops turn on him.) There is the Volscian leader Camilla, Diana's favorite, courageous and tough, her last words an order to her second-in-command.
The final confrontation between Turnus and Aeneas seemed to me to be both marvellous — dramatic and exciting, reminiscent of Achilles's battle with Hector, but without the enormous burden of revenge and shame — and also not enough. Aeneas puts Turnus to death, and now he is the acknowledged heir of King Latinus. He will marry Lavinia, and he will become the father of Rome. But none of that happens in the book. None of that shaping and changing of Aeneas as a character happens before our eyes, the way it does with Achilles or even Odysseus. Aeneas has to become a leader — he has to shift from being a Trojan to being an Italian — but I found that process oddly incomplete. So much of it, in the closing lines, remains still to be done.
I am very glad I read the Aeneid, but it wasn't my favorite of the classics I read this summer. That award would probably go to Ovid's Metamorphoses, for the sheer joy of the wordplay and the images and the storytelling. Still, all of these books are now lodged in my head, not just as background but as realities. It was like finding that part of the paneling in the wall was actually a door, and that it opened up into another world, far away from your own. Try it and see.
I've enjoyed your classic reviews this summer and am pleased you ended with the Aeneid which is one of my favorites. The story I've heard is that Virgil thought it was unfinished and asked that the ms be burnt when he was on his deathbed. Lavinia by Ursula LeGuin offers an interpretation of events from her perspective, a twist I enjoyed. I've added The Metamorphisis (where is spell check when you need it) to the tbr. Thanks!
If you want to pursue this, Darkness Visible: A Study of Virgil's Aeneid is a short, brilliant, and surprising (and convincing) interpretation of the poem.
Would the Aeneid be better if longer, if "finished"? If the developments you list were not left to the imagination? I don't know. The meaning of the poem would certainly change – it now ends on such a brutal note. I never quite trust authors – well, about anything, but certainly not about whether a book is finished or not. Perhaps claiming the book is "unfinished" is a way of keeping that ending, a disquieting conclusion to the story of the heroic founding of Rome and the empire..

The Scottish Government (Scottish Gaelic: Riaghaltas na h-Alba, pronounced [ˈrˠiə.əl̪ˠt̪əs nə ˈhal̪ˠapə]) is the devolved government of Scotland.[2] It was formed in 1999 as the Scottish Executive following the 1997 referendum on Scottish devolution.[3]
The Scottish Government consists of the Scottish Ministers, which is used to describe their collective legal functions. The Scottish Government is accountable to the Scottish Parliament, which was also created by the Scotland Act 1998 with the first minister appointed by the monarch following a proposal by the Parliament. The responsibilities of the Scottish Parliament fall over matters that are not reserved in law to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Ministers are appointed by the first minister with the approval of the Scottish Parliament and the monarch from among the members of the Parliament. The Scotland Act 1998 makes provision for ministers and junior ministers, referred to by the current administration as Cabinet secretaries and ministers, in addition to two law officers: the lord advocate and solicitor general for Scotland. Collectively the Scottish Ministers and the Civil Service staff that support the Scottish Government are formally referred to as the Scottish Administration.
The Scottish Executive's original logo, shown with English and Scottish Gaelic caption. The logo was replaced in September 2007, with the name changed to "Scottish Government", and the Flag of Scotland used instead of the Royal Arms.
In 1885, many domestic policy functions relating to Scotland were brought into responsibilities of a Scottish Office, a department of the Government of the United Kingdom which was headed by a Secretary for Scotland, later the Secretary of State for Scotland.
Following the 1997 referendum on devolution, many of the functions of the Secretary of State for Scotland were transferred to the Scottish Ministers, accountable to a devolved Scottish Parliament. The first Scottish Executive was formed by First Minister Donald Dewar, a coalition between the Scottish Labour Party and the Scottish Liberal Democrats. During this period, ministerial appointees were divided into ministers and deputy ministers.
The Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition continued under subsequent First Ministers Henry McLeish and Jack McConnell. Following the 2007 Scottish Parliament election, Alex Salmond headed a Scottish National Party administration until his resignation in 2014 and the appointment of his former Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Since 2007, the Scottish Executive had used the name Scottish Government. The change of name was later recognised in law by the Scotland Act 2012. In 2001, former First Minister Henry McLeish had proposed such a change, but experienced some opposition.[4]
At the same time that the Scottish Government began to use its new name, a new emblem was adopted. It replaced the use of a version of the Royal Arms with the Flag of Scotland.[5]

6th Scottish Parliament
Second Sturgeon government
The Scottish Government is led by the First Minister of Scotland and consists of additional Scottish Ministers and the law officers.
The Scottish Parliament nominates one of its members to be appointed as First Minister by the Queen.[6] The First Minister appoints additional Ministers to a variety of ministerial portfolios. More senior ministers, known as Cabinet Secretaries, collectively form a cabinet with the First Minister. The Scottish law officers, the Lord Advocate and Solicitor, can be appointed without being a member of the Scottish Parliament, however, they are subject to Parliament's approval and scrutiny. Law officers are also appointed by the Queen on the recommendation of the first minister.[6]
The Scottish Cabinet collectively takes responsibility for policy coordination within the Scottish Government. It is supported by Cabinet Secretariat, based at St Andrew's House. While the Scottish Parliament is in session, Cabinet meets weekly.[7] Normally meetings are held on Tuesday afternoons in Bute House, the official residence of the First Minister.[8] Members of the Scottish Cabinet receive blue despatch boxes for their use while in office.[9]
There are currently two sub-committees of cabinet:[10]
Cabinet Sub-Committee on Legislation
Scottish Government Resilience Room (SGoRR) Cabinet Sub-Committee

The responsibilities of the Scottish Ministers broadly follow those of the Scottish Parliament provided for in the Scotland Act 1998 and subsequent UK legislation. Where pre-devolution legislation of the UK Parliament provided that certain functions could be performed by UK Government ministers, these functions were transferred to the Scottish Ministers if they were within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
The 1998 Act also provided for orders to be made allowing Scottish Ministers to exercise powers of UK Government ministers in areas that remain reserved to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Equally the Act allows for the Scottish Ministers to transfer functions to the UK Government ministers, or for particular "agency arrangements". This executive devolution means that the powers of the Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Parliament are not identical.[13]
The most prominent reserved matters that remain under the exclusive control of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are:[14]
The Constitution – Acts of Union, The Crown, Devolution Settlement
Immigration & Nationality
Most aspects of Social Security
Telecommunications and Postal services
Reserved taxes
This left a number of major matters that were devolved under the Scotland Act 1998, including:[15]
Most aspects of transport
Subsequently, the Scotland Acts of 2012 and 2016 transferred powers over:[16]
Some taxation powers – Full control of Income Tax on income earned through employment, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax, Landfill Tax
Drink driving limits
Scottish Parliament & local authority elections
Some social Security powers
Crown Estate of Scotland
The members of the government have substantial influence over legislation in Scotland, putting forward the majority of bills that are successful in becoming Acts of the Scottish Parliament.[17]
In addition to the Scottish Ministers, the Scottish Government is supported by a number of officials drawn from the UK Civil Service. They are collectively referred to as the Scottish Administration in the Scotland Act 1998. According to 2012 reports, there are 16,000 civil servants working in core Scottish Government directorates and agencies.[18]
The civil service is a matter reserved to the British parliament at Westminster (rather than devolved to Holyrood): Scottish Government civil servants work within the rules and customs of Her Majesty's Civil Service, but serve the devolved administration rather than British government.[19]
The Permanent Secretary is the Scottish Government's most senior civil servant. She leads the administration's strategic board as well as directly supporting the First Minister and cabinet and is the accountable officer with responsibility to ensure that the government's money and resources are used effectively and properly.[20] The current permanent secretary is Leslie Evans, who assumed the post in July 2015.
The Permanent Secretary is a member of the UK Civil Service, and therefore takes part in the UK-wide Permanent Secretaries Management Group under the Cabinet Secretary who performs a number of similar functions in relation to the UK Government. The Scottish Government's Permanent Secretary is responsible to the Scottish Ministers in terms of policy.[21]
The Scottish Government is divided into 49 directorates which execute government policy in specified areas. Unlike in the British government, senior ministers do not lead government departments and have no direct role in the operation of the directorates.
The directorates are grouped together into seven "Directorates General", each run by a senior civil servant who is titled a "Director-General". As of May 2021, there are seven Directorates General:
Communities Directorates
Constitution and External Affairs Directorates
Corporate Directorates
Economy Directorates
Education and Justice Directorates
Health and Social Care Directorates
Scottish Exchequer Directorates
Supporting these directorates are a variety of other corporate service teams and professional groups.[22]
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service serves as an independent prosecution service in Scotland, and is a ministerial department of the Scottish Government. It is headed by the Lord Advocate, who is responsible for prosecution, along with the procurators fiscal, under Scots law.
The strategic board is composed of the permanent secretary, the seven directors-general, two chief advisers (scientific and economic) and four non-executive directors. The board is responsible for providing support to the government through the permanent secretary, and is the executive of the Scottish civil service.[23]
To deliver its work, there are 9 executive agencies established by ministers as part of government departments, or as departments in their own right, to carry out a discrete area of work. These include, for example, the Scottish Prison Service and Transport Scotland. Executive agencies are staffed by civil servants.
There are two non-ministerial departments that form part of the Scottish administration, and therefore the devolved administration, but answer directly to the Scottish Parliament rather than to ministers: these are the General Register Office for Scotland and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.
The Scottish Government is also responsible for a large number of non-departmental public bodies. These include executive NDPBs (e.g. Scottish Enterprise); advisory NDPBs (e.g. the Scottish Law Commission); tribunals (e.g. the Children's Panel and Additional Support Needs Tribunals for Scotland); and nationalised industries (e.g. Scottish Water). These are staffed by public servants, rather than civil servants.
The Scottish Government is also responsible for some other public bodies that are not classed as non-departmental public bodies, such as NHS Boards, Visiting Committees for Scottish Penal Establishments or HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary for Scotland.
The headquarters building of the Scottish Government is St Andrew's House, which is located on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. Some other government directorates are based at Victoria Quay and Saughton House in Edinburgh, and Atlantic Quay in Glasgow. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has its head offices, and the Lord Advocate's Chambers, at Chambers Street in central Edinburgh.
There are numerous other Edinburgh properties occupied by the Scottish Government. Both the Scottish Fiscal Commission and the Scottish Human Rights Commission are based in the old Governor's House on the site of the former Calton Gaol, next door to St. Andrew's House on Regent Road. The Government Car Service for Scotland also has its Edinburgh offices on Bonnington Road, in Leith. Other offices are scattered around central Edinburgh, including Bute House on Charlotte Square, the official residence of the first minister.
All Ministers and officials have access to Scotland House at Victoria Embankment in London, when necessary. Dover House on Whitehall is now used by the Scotland Office and the devolved Scottish Ministers no longer use it.[24]
The Scottish Government also operates local offices and specialist facilities around Scotland, for example those used by Rural Payments & Services[25] and Marine Scotland.
Victoria Quay
The Scottish Government has a European Union representative office, located at Rond-Point Robert Schuman in Brussels, Belgium, which forms a part of the United Kingdom Permanent Representation to the European Union.[26] The Scottish Government also maintains offices within the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., as well as the British Embassy in Berlin and has accredited representatives within the British Embassy in Beijing.

Henry McLeish, the First Minister, threatened to set himself on a collision course with Tony Blair by wanting to rename the Executive the Scottish Government. The proposal caused an immediate split in Labour ranks and left McLeish facing allegations of arrogance and over-ambition. Scotland Office minister Brian Wilson said that the First Minister should think carefully about using the term "government". He said: "Maybe they should take time to look at how other countries with two tiers of government handle this. Nobody in Germany has any difficulty distinguishing between the government and the devolved administrations."

From my last marathon post, I promised posting some pictures from the Accra International Marathon, unfortunately I failed to get as many pictures as I promised 😦 plus I didn't get enough capture from the race photographer's lens. Fast forward to now, it's a year again and we are in the month of marathons again. If you are a marathon fan like myself and wondering which marathons are happening and where the actions are taking place, then this post is for you!
And before you start shaking your head in the negative and saying to yourself that, 'I am not a marathon person', don't think too far, there is the 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km so you can safely choose your size. I started with 21km on two occasions and sadly am stuck to 5km but I have not given up on my goal of doing a full marathon in my lifetime. Aside the fun, exercise, support for a good cause and networking opportunities, I realise I always end up with a new experience with every marathon I take part in.
So where is the feet action taking place??
This was my first marathon experience and I have never regretted it to date! Registration cost might seem on the high side at first glance compared to the others but know that aside participating you are contributing towards a good course. The other fun side is that the race results are posted on the site within a reasonable time after the event.
What charity projects would you be contributing to?
Complete your registration latest by 30th September to get a customised bib. How cool is that? The race/walk ends at the Labadi Beach with fun activities available for the kids and also give participants the chance to cool down with some coconuts and stuff from their goody bags.
Race categories: 5k, Charity relay race, 10k, half marathon and full marathon.
This was previously termed as the Millenium Marathon and now labelled as the Accra Marathon. The Accra Marathon is organised by Millennium Sports and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly to promote Healthy Lifestyle and also sports tourism.
It was also my boss lady's first marathon experience and I was about 3-4 months pregnant too! I wasn't running though, it was more of brisk walking plus I made new acquaintances for life from whom I picked valuable lessons from our interactions during the marathon course. All action ends at the Black Star Square.
Registration details: You either register at approved registration centres, online or via mobile money (*800*17#).
Do you know of any other that didn't make my list with the exception of the Milo Marathon which is for professional runners? Help us get our list updated then.
Reality check! Does "it" belong in your closet of life?

Technology has changed our world, but hasn't done enough for people with disabilities
When I was growing up in an orphanage in St. Petersburg with spina bifida, my only way to be mobile was to walk on my hands. I had no other option. As a child, I would try to keep up with the other kids solely using my hands for movement.
This article's author, Tatyana McFadden, after winning the women's 400 meter T54 final at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
For me, being mobile was key to my happiness: without it, I simply couldn't join in.
That quest for mobility has been with me my entire adult life. After I'd been adopted and moved to the US, my high school said I wasn't allowed to do track sports simply because I was in a wheelchair.
I didn't take no for an answer, and neither did my adopted mom, Deborah, who took my case to the courts. That case eventually led to the Fitness and Athletics Equity for Students with Disabilities Act in Maryland.
That landmark piece of legislation became federal law. It means that across America, students both with and without disability who never dreamed of competing in athletics teams are able to do so. I fought in the courts and in the statehouse because for me, mobility is freedom.
I want that freedom to be extended to more people, and this is where technology can help.
The pace of innovation across the world is breathtaking. The processing power that was a decade ago confined to huge servers is now available in inexpensive smartphones.
Artificial intelligence is predicted to outperform human intelligence at translation, our favorite board games and even driving trucks within the next decade, according to Katja Grace at the University of Oxford. The humble battery is undergoing a revolution too, with the technology to power an entire town from battery power alone within reach.
Yet, for all the incredible advances we've seen in technology in recent years, mobility devices for many people with disabilities remain stuck in the past.
Big ideas from Maglev trains to space travel capture the public imagination, but often simpler applications of new technologies could make a huge difference to our freedom to move.
Smart assistive mobility devices have incredible potential: imagine a wheelchair that could integrate with our bodies to be more intuitive to our needs?
Yet, the pace of innovation for personal mobility devices has been particularly slow. The first modern wheelchair of Harry C. Jennings, Sr. and his disabled friend Herbert Everest from 1933 is still the prototype for the wheelchair that many people with paralysis use.
If we think of the innovations in motor vehicles or computing in the same period, it's hard to argue that mobility devices have kept pace. And that's not for a lack of ideas either: lots of people have great ideas how to improve mobility for people with disabilities, but it's a tough market to get into and regulation is often burdensome.
This is why I'm backing Mobility Unlimited, a $4 million global challenge to transform the world of people with lower-limb paralysis. We're looking for the world's creative thinkers from inventors, technologists, designers and engineers, to come forward and submit their ideas on how we can improve mobility for people with lower-limb paralysis.
The challenge offers 10 $50,000 grants to people with a good idea: five finalists will be awarded $500,000 to develop their concepts, and the winner will receive $1 million to turn their idea into reality. I'm proud to be part of this journey and cannot wait to see the winning device unveiled in Tokyo in 2020.
Throughout my life, I've always thought that — whether disabled or not — we all go through challenges. Taking on challenges is an important part of living life to the fullest. When I said at 14 to my adoptive parents that I wanted to be an Olympic athlete, they said, "Ok!" and we started training. A year later, I was the youngest member of the American Paralympics team in Athens.
You may doubt whether you can create a new invention that people can use, but if you do have a concept that could change the world for people with lower-limb paralysis, I say, "Seize the day!" There may be more hype around Bitcoin, but innovators could have far more impact if they turned their attention to how they can make the freedom to move available to all. We simply can't let technology leave people with disabilities behind.

[NAIROBI] Poor countries' economic growth increases with deforestation rates but the effect disappears in wealthier economies, a study says.
According to researchers, climatic factors and inadequate data make it difficult to establish the link between economic development and overexploitation of natural resources.
But using satellite data, researchers were able to assess the link between deforestation rates and economic factors across countries.
The study published this month (16 January) in the journal Scientific Reports found that as developing countries become richer, a decrease in forest cover occurs, but such a relationship disappears at higher levels of income per capita.
"This implies that increases in deforestation, in particular in Sub-Saharan Africa, are expected as poorer economies converge in income per capita to that of developed countries," says Jesús Crespo Cuaresma, a research scholar and professor of economics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, who led the study.
The researchers collected remote-sensed data on forest cover and combined these with other macroeconomic variables in a statistical model that allowed them to identify the empirical relationship between income per capita and deforestation.
"Given the importance of avoiding the decay of forest stocks to counteract climate change, our paper provides evidence to understand and quantify the potential losses in terms of environmental depletion implied by development policies in Sub-Saharan Africa," Cuaresma notes.
The study, he explains, is of particular importance to policymakers on the African continent and international organisations interested in designing development policy tools.
"Our results quantify the potential costs that such policies could potentially have in terms of forest cover loss," Cuaresma tells SciDev.Net, explaining that evidence-based development policies should be enacted to minimise deforestation and combat the negative effects of climate change.
According to Cuaresma such policies could benefit Sub-Sharan Africa and the rest of the world.
Samuel Muriithi, head of economics at the Kenya Forest Service, says the study helps explain sustainable development.
"This study can be useful in policy formulation," Muriithi tells SciDev.Net.
He calls for a need to appreciate how deforestation could affect economies at local and global levels.
Muriithi says that forests conservation could help decrease poverty. He cites beekeeping, fish farming and ecotourism as approaches that could help diversify local economies and make people less dependent on forests for their livelihoods.

The Budge fields were pretty much bereft of waders tonight with the wader-highlights coming elsewhere. A common sand was in front of the Oddie hide, 13 oystercatcher flew overhead and on the shore, four knot flew south and 12 sanderling pottered about.
Passage migrants seem to be on the move, there was much willowchiff activity in the bushes and blackcaps were calling.
The only butterflies showing on the bunds tonight were peacock, meadow brown and a comma.

Where is the voice of feminism in research on emotional abuse?
Alisha Ali
Research on women's experience of emotional abuse has grown considerably in recent years. However, the research thus far suffers from a number of blind-spots and biases. These include a disregard for social and cultural influences, a narrow perspective on the effects of intimate violence, and a lack of integration of theoretical and practical considerations. I contend that such biases can be remedied in part by looking to feminist scholars in an attempt to derive an integrative and socially informed framework to guide research, theory, and practice focused on women who have suffered emotional abuse. Drawing upon interviews that I have conducted with women who have been emotionally abused by their live-in partners, I explore the role that feminist theory can play in framing and contextualizing scholarly work on emotional abuse.

What Doyon tapped into was a thoroughly unexpected 21st-century phenomenon. The Porchfest is a set of DIY music festivals that started in a single upstate New York town in 2007 and has grown organically in the decade since. They've popped up in cities and towns across North America. In 2015, 46 Porchfests were recorded. In 2017, the number was up to 104.
These days Doyon, 50, handles communications for an urban planning and design firm. In October he organized Decatur's third annual Oakhurst Porchfest, scaled up this year to 220 bands (and complete with a Millennial-organized electronic-dance afterparty). With the Porchfest, Doyon realized, a new connection has developed between his old music gig and his new profession. To younger urbanites, he says, porches look like stages. In the Instagram age, the front steps have become places to see and be seen, throw a rocking concert or party, and to foster metropolitan community in a walk-by, stop-in-for-wine sense. "Not by design but by accident—by having strangers descend on their yard, having a musician play, sharing a beer, and meeting some new folks—I gave all these people a tool to look at what porches mean in a new way," Doyon says.
As a word alone, "porch" is trending, especially in big, techie cities.

I don't know how many Hamlets I've seen – the most recent was the Cumberbatch one in which I found the cast excellent but the whole somehow lesser than the sum of its parts. One thing I do like in my Princes of Denmark is youth. Hamlet shouldn't be pushing forty. He works better, I find, as a younger man, unsure of his role in the revenge drama that his life becomes when his uncle marries his mother so soon after the funeral of his father. Uncertainty, indecision and depression can strike at any age, to be sure, but (as in this production) there is increased credibility when the life that's turned upside down is that of a younger man, still finding his way in the world.
And so, Simon Godwin's production begins with a snapshot of Hamlet's graduation from Wittenberg Uni. At once, Paapa Essiedu in the title role captivates. Everything Hamlet will state later on about the Player King applies here: it's all in his eyes. Early scenes of grief and shock hit hard – Essiedu handles the all-too-famous soliloquies well, casting light and shade in surprising areas. His lunacy, here signalled in shorthand by abstract painting – he gets as much on himself as on his canvases – adds unpredictability. Above all, sensitivity comes to the fore. This is a Hamlet we can care about.
Clarence Smith's lying king Claudius gets across the public face of the dictator as well as the personal side – he can't run his household as well as the state. Tanya Moodie's Gertrude is coolly elegant – at her best in the bedroom scene, horrified to see her husband's ghost and strident in her denial of the phenomenon. Cyril Nri's Polonius is a star turn, funny and charming in his longwindedness. His fate behind the arras also elicits laughter in its suddenness and slapstick.
Ewart James Walters impresses as the Ghost, in tribal robes, sonorous and forbidding. He also plays the smart-alec gravedigger, with a twinkle in his eye. Natalie Simpson's Ophelia seems curiously sidelined until her mad scene, pulling her hair out and handing it around like sprigs of the herbs she names. It's always a difficult sell but Simpson makes it work, terrifying the court into singing her refrain.
Denmark has moved closer to the equator for this African-themed show. Well, why not? After all, Disney borrowed the plot for The Lion King. Loud drums punctuate the more extreme moments and the colour palette suggests heat and intensity. The music (by Sola Akingbola) reminds us this is a thriller, despite Hamlet's vacillations. The climactic fencing match with Laertes (a striking Marcus Griffiths) is done here with sharpened sticks. The poisonings are swift and shocking – events come to a head in an outburst of action that breathes new life into the well-worn plot. There is freshness in Godwin's take that keeps this Hamlet watchable and affecting, but it's Essiedu's performance that is the keystone of the production. Powerful in its intimacy, it's a portrayal that touches and then breaks your heart.

Cowboys having 'active discussions' with Dak, Amari
The Dallas Cowboys are turning their attention to locking down Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday that there have been positive talks on contract extensions with the quarterback and receiver.
"Yeah, we're always open to looking at things," Jones said, via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. "Certainly if there are opportunities there that make sense, then we'll progress. I think pretty much everybody's on it pretty good that there's some pretty active discussions now with Dak and Amari, but it doesn't mean that some can't pick up in short order with other players that we have on our roster that we certainly want to keep here in Dallas and have them remain Cowboys in the future."

As the Cowboys learned from the DeMarcus Lawrence deal, waiting might only going to make things more expensive for Dallas. Both Cooper and Prescott enter the final year of their rookie contracts, with the first-round receiver slated to make $13.924 million and the fourth-round quarterback due $2.025 million.
Cooper's deal might be easier for the Cowboys brass to knock out than Prescott's contract. Considering Dak has made peanuts compared to other starting quarterbacks during his career, a massive, massive jump might be harder for the Cowboys to swallow.
Prescott likely won't leapfrog Russell Wilson's new record-setting contract, but it will inform discussions between the QB's agent and the Cowboys. Wilson brought his team a Super Bowl within his first three seasons. Prescott has helped generate just one playoff win thus far. Other than that large outlier, the QBs production is fairly similar through the first three years of their respective careers.
Jones reiterated his stance that the Cowboys want Dak to take a team-friendly deal.
"You're talking about two guys there who, between Rodgers and Russell Wilson, have won Super Bowls that have had success year in and year out taking their teams to the playoffs," Jones said. "Russell, both of them have been to a couple of Super Bowls, or at least I know Russell has been. So, yeah, those are guys who are going to make those type of jumps. But I'm not concerned.
"I think at the end of the day if there's any position that has to keep an eye out, not only for themselves, but they have to keep an eye out on their team in terms of how much cap space they take up, these quarterbacks are those guys because, at the end of the day, they're going to make a lot of money. The bigger for them in terms of their career and what they're all about is how much did they win, how many Super Bowl rings do they have on their fingers, those are all huge deals. And they know if at some point they take up too much cap space at the end of the day, then it can hurt their chances in terms of winning."
The question is how much do the Cowboys believe is too much for Prescott. Could the QB earn a $25-million-plus salary increase in a new deal?
Like all signal-callers, Prescott is worth a bundle more than he's making. If the Cowboys feel he's a franchise quarterback, they'll pay him accordingly. If they continue to posture like Jones, these negotiations portend a lengthy battle.

I'll start off by discussing this scene above. In this scene, Amon is seemingly seducing his servant, Helen Hirsch, played by Embeth Davidtz. At first, he seems very charismatic on the surface, yet as he cavorts her, she is shaking and as soon as he looks like he is about to kiss her, he suddenly flicks the switch and turns violent. It feels like that even though this man is a monster, he has a bit of self-loath as he hates himself for loving this woman.
Now, in this next scene, both Amon and Oskar Schindler, played by Liam Neeson, are talking about power. As Oskar is trying to explain what power really means, Amon just implicitly brushes it off. However, as Oskar explains his meaning of power, the look that Amon gives indicates that maybe he thinks that Oskar is right, but brushes it off, showing that he is in denial. The way that Fiennes portrays this character makes it seem that even though Goeth is a monstrous human being, he might just feel trapped by the path of evil he chose to take.Yet Fiennes doesn't play it for pity or force the audience to gain empathy for his character.
So, what I found to be quite complex about Fiennes' portrayal is how he lets his quiet force of restraint carry through Goeth's sinister and rather hollow externality. Yet, there are some quiet moments, like how he almost kisses Helen and how he may believe what Oskar is saying about power is true by the look on his face, which indicate how despite being an embodiment of evil, might just feel trapped by his path that he took. Since Amon Goeth is a sadistic Neo-Nazi commander, there is probably no going back for him and you might just wonder whether he is self-aware without feeling sorry for him. To me, that is quite a difficult task to pull off. To humanize a villain without making him humanistic enough to make us feel for him. In my opinion, Ralph Fiennes' multi-dimensional performance is a demonstration of the kind of commitment an actor can bring to his character without having to just undergo a physical commitment.
So, that was my analysis of Ralph Fiennes' brilliant performance as the sadistic Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. If you agree or disagree or would like to add your own input, please feel free to write in the comments section, as always. Thanks for reading!

Following TechCrunch reporting, Palantir rapidly removes language allowing founders to "unilaterally adjust their total voting power"
Well, that was fast.
This morning, I analyzed Palantir's newly published 5th amendment of its S-1 filing with the SEC as it pursues a public direct listing on the NYSE. I called the company "not a democracy" after it added new provisions to create a special mechanism called "Stockholder Party Excluded Shares" that would, in the language of Palantir, allow the company's trio of founders to "unilaterally adjust their total voting power" at will, now and into the future.
Well, Palantir has now filed a 6th amendment with the SEC just a few hours after it filed its previous amendment, and the company has removed all references to this special mechanism from its SEC filing.
The 19 mentions of "Stockholder Party Excluded Shares" and multiple sections where the mechanism were discussed and explained have now been entirely excised. In addition, the company's line about its founders having the capability to "unilaterally adjust their total voting power" has also been similarly removed.
Outside of those changes, the two different versions of the company's S-1 filing are essentially identical. And for those keeping score from this morning, in this tenth rendition of the company's public offering documents including its previous draft registration statements, the latest filing includes 168 mentions of "voting power" — identical to the number this morning. Here's an updated chart:
It's a quick about-face for the enterprise software company, which has spent weeks prepping for its direct listing, originally scheduled for September 23 and which has since been moved back to September 29. While corporate governance has certainly gotten weaker over the past few years, Palantir's newly introduced language this morning stretched the definition of shareholder governance quite frankly to its breaking point. Walking back those changes was the right call.
There's no telling whether the SEC, NYSE, potential investors in the direct listing, executives, or insiders pushed for these changes. However, companies rarely make such rapid changes with their SEC filings (then again, I've never seen an IPO with so many amendments in the first place, so we are in uncharted territory). Palantir remains in an SEC-mandated quiet period.
We'll continue to monitor developments as Palantir heads to the public markets presumably next week.

Kelly recaps decommit-free National Signing Day
Mary Green | Thursday, February 4, 2016
When Irish coaches woke up Wednesday morning, they expected to officially add 22 players to their 2016 recruiting class.
But by the end of the day, they had 24 — including each in the original 22-player group.
In a time when decommitments, especially close to or even on National Signing Day, have become more and more prevalent, this year was the first in head coach Brian Kelly's seven-year tenure in which every player who originally committed to the Irish ended up following through on that commitment by sending his National Letter of Intent to Notre Dame.
"It's awesome," Kelly said. "I think that everybody should try it once in their career."
All jokes aside, Kelly credited that stability in commitments to new approaches in recruiting by him and his staff.
"I think first and foremost, all coaches, the entire staff having a consistent message, and that message being one of who we are and what we're about and never swaying from that," Kelly said. "So for example, if you have three different coaches that go to recruit you and you get three different messages, there's some uncertainty as to what I'm getting myself into. But if all three coaches come in and you hear the same thing, you know what you're getting. That lessens the wavering of a student-athlete.
" … I think number two is that we vetted out better than we ever have because we were further out on our recruits in terms of time. We had more time with them to make sure that they were kids that would fit here at Notre Dame. I think those two things stood out for me that we didn't have the kind of back and forth."
After losing cornerbacks KeiVarae Russell and Matthias Farley and safety Elijah Shumate to graduation and the NFL Draft, the Irish reloaded in the secondary with seven new players: Jalen Elliott, Julian Love, D.J. Morgan, Spencer Perry, Troy Pride Jr., Devin Studstill and Donte' Vaughn. Perry and Studstill are already on campus as early enrollees.
Kelly said the defense as a whole, but specifically the defensive backs, was targeted this recruiting cycle.
"Certainly the safety, corner, third corner position on our defense," Kelly named as the class of 2016's biggest needs. "You know, the potential of some third-down specialists, the potential for guys to rush the passer, certainly the nickel position and safety."
With the large number of defensive backs joining the Irish, along with the openings on the depth chart from last season's departures, Kelly said they have the best chance to earn playing time out of this year's signing class.
However, Kelly said he would also look to the class of 2016's receivers to earn reps as well. Notre Dame inked three receivers: Canada's Chase Claypool, U.S. Army All-American Javon McKinley and early enrollee Kevin Stepherson, while another target, Demetris Robertson, will not announce his college decision until after signing day.
"If you're really that good, you may not be here very long, and we hope that you're here for four years and you stay, but you've got to be ready to compete," Kelly said. "So our expectation in the recruiting process is for the wide receiver group to come in and compete to get on the field and be a player for us immediately, so that's the mindset."
The class as a whole is ranked ninth in the country by both Rivals and 247Sports, 11th by Scout and 13th by ESPN, as of Wednesday afternoon. The state of Florida yielded a class-high six signees, most recruited by running backs coach and Florida native Autry Denson, while three came from each California, Michigan and Illinois. One, long snapper John Shannon, is a third-generation Irish player, as both his father and grandfather played football for Notre Dame, while two, linebacker Jamir Jones and defensive lineman Julian Okwara, follow the footsteps of their brothers, current defensive lineman Jarron Jones and former defensive lineman Romeo Okwara.
"I think it's great," Kelly said of continuing the Jones and Okwara families' representation on the roster. "We recruited them the right way. We didn't recruit them because their brothers were here. We recruited them because we thought they were players that fit here at Notre Dame that would be very successful.
"But obviously it helps when their brothers have a great experience here and really enjoy their Notre Dame experience as a student and as an athlete, so that helps you in the recruiting."
Another new push in recruiting that helped Notre Dame this year was the Showtime television series "A Season with Notre Dame Football," according to Kelly. Several players highlighted the show as a positive factor in their decision to come to South Bend.
"We didn't do it to try to change those that don't like Notre Dame or are not fans of Notre Dame. We wanted them to respect who we are and what our student-athletes do on a day-to-day basis," Kelly said. "So I think more than anything else, I think it gave them insight as to what their day is like and who they are, and I think if anything, we were able to gain a lot of respect from those that saw what the student-athletes do on a day-to-day basis."

Palazzi di Genova est le nom d'un ouvragedédié à l'architecture génoise du Cinquecento, publié à Anvers, en 1622, par le peintre Pierre Paul Rubens.

Description

Il s'agit d'une anthologie des plus belles demeures de la ville de Gênes, surnommée alors « la Superba ». Peintre de cour de Vincent I de Gonzague au début du , Rubens profita sans doute d'un séjour estival, en 1607
, chez le duc, pour relever (ou acheter) les plans et les façades de divers palais qui faisaient la splendeur architectonique de la ville de Gênes à cette époque. Il initia aussi les architectes anversois au baroque et au maniérisme génois comme en témoignent  sa propre demeure dite Rubenshuis et l'église Saint-Charles-Borromée.

L'ouvrage se présente en deux parties sous un format de 435 sur 335 mm ; la première comprend 72 gravures de plans, coupes et élévations d'édifices, et le deuxième volume rassemble 67 gravures d'édifices dont neuf planches consacrés à des bâtiments cultuels.
Chaque édifice dessiné (plans et élévation) porte le même numéro de planche inscrit en chiffres romains alors que la pagination s'effectue par figura, de la 1 à figura 72 pour le premier volume, et de la figura  1 à la figura 67 pour le second. Les illustrations sont à l'échelle du palme génois qui est égal à 24,8 cm.

La seconde édition en 1652, la première après la mort du peintre, éditée chez Jan Van Meurs, à Anvers, ajouta de nouveaux palais (dont certains ne seraient pas de la main de Rubens) en classant les planches sous deux frontispices distincts nommés Palazzi antichi pour la première partie et Palazzi moderni pour la seconde. Meurs publiera une troisième édition en 1663. Une quatrième édition sera publiée par Cornelius Verdussen, toujours à Anvers, en 1708.

Comme d'autres traités d'architecture contemporains dont ceux de Vincenzo Scamozzi et de Joseph Furttenbach, ce recueil de dessins va contribuer à la diffusion de la connaissance d'un modèle architectural (innovation dans l'organisation spatiale des volumes), et d'une culture résidentielle qui attirait des artistes de renom et d'illustres voyageurs.

Un exemplaire de 1622 de Palazzi di Genova est exposé du  au  à l'exposition temporaire L'Europe de Rubens du Louvre-Lens sous le numéro d'exposition 75. Il est habituellement conservé à la Bibliothèque nationale de France.
