The Acton Building, home to The Acton Institute (www.acton.org) and West Michigan Center for Arts and Technology (www.wmcat.org) is a historic building that has recently been renovated and restored to emulate its original exterior design. Originally built in 1929 and known as the Watson Building, the brand new Acton building features a beautifully restored exterior, and the interior showcases restored hardwood floors, original wood beams and posts, with exposed wooden rafters and support beams. This building at the corner of Sheldon and Fulton is one of Grand Rapids most visible and beautiful historic buildings. Attention to detail, and an architectural faithfulness to the original design were paramount in this new remodeling.

The present building was occupied in October 1848 and was consecrated on September 9, 1849. It is the oldest public building still standing in the city.

Tori Colvin and Cafino capture the $35,000 Welcome Stake at the 2015 Washington International Horse Show.
October 22, 2015–Washington International Horse Show hosted its third day of equestrian competition at Verizon Center in downtown Washington, D.C. on Thursday. The youngest rider in this year's international show jumping competition at 18 years of age, USA's Victoria "Tori" Colvin jumped to victory with Cafino in the $35,000 International Jumper Welcome Stake. Top honors in the $20,000 Gambler's Choice costume class, presented by the Winter Equestrian Festival, went to McLain Ward (USA) and HH Ashley.
Anthony D'Ambrosio, of Red Hook, NY, is the course designer for the jumpers at WIHS this year. In the day's $35,000 Welcome Stake, D'Ambrosio saw 27 entries with 10 advancing to the jump-off and five double clear rounds. Belgium's Jos Verlooy set the pace in 33.40 seconds aboard Axel Verlooy and Euro Horse Bvba's Sunshine to eventually finish fourth. Georgina Bloomberg (USA) was next to clear the short course in 33.65 seconds aboard Gotham Enterprizes LLC's Caleno 3 to place fifth. Catherine Tyree (USA) jumped the second place time of 32.86 seconds riding Mary and Joseph Tyree's Enjoy Louis. Audrey Coulter (USA) took third place honors with a time of 32.92 seconds aboard Copernicus Stables LLC's Domino, and Victoria Colvin completed the final clear round in the winning time of 30.40 seconds with Take the High Road LLC's Cafino.
This is Colvin's first year competing in the international division at WIHS and a memorable step in her young career. For the win, she was presented the Ben O'Meara Memorial Challenge Trophy, which has been hoisted by many of the greatest riders in the sport. Colvin was fearless in the jump-off, finishing over two seconds faster than her runner up. She spoke about her round, explaining that she started with a good pace, stayed tight in the turns and finally, galloped right down to the last fence, a careful vertical heading towards the in-gate. Cafino, a 12-year-old Swedish Warmblood gelding (Cardento 933 x Roderik 856), was as game as his rider as they raced to the finish.
Colvin is one of the busiest riders at WIHS this week since she has also been competing in the hunter divisions each day and will contest the WIHS Equitation Finals, presented by SAP, on Friday and Saturday as well. She has her sights set on competing in the $125,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Washington, presented by Events DC, for the first time ever this weekend.
The $20,000 International Jumper Gambler's Choice Costume Class, sponsored by the Winter Equestrian Festival, was held on Thursday evening during the show's always-popular Barn Night, presented by Dover Saddlery. Local young riders and horse enthusiasts attended in groups and had the chance to enter contests, win big prizes, and enjoy a fun, horse-filled evening that included the WIHS Shetland Pony Steeplechase Championship Races, presented by Charles Owen.
McLain Ward and Double H Farm's HH Ashley topped the competition with the high score of 1140. Aaron Vale (USA) and Troy Glaus's Quidams Good Luck finished second with a score of 1110, Victoria Colvin (USA) and Peacock Ridge LLC's Lumiere and Laura Kraut (USA) aboard Stars and Stripes' Andretti S both scored 1090. Ties were broken by times, so Colvin's faster time of 53 seconds placed third over Kraut's time of 60 seconds in fourth.
Ward was presented the Crown Royal Trophy, donated by Crown Royal, as the winning rider, and HH Ashley earned the Sue Ann Geisler Memorial Trophy, donated by the Washington International Horse Show, as the winning horse.
Barn Night was a huge success as some of the region's top groups came out Thursday night to participate in special contests and enjoy the unique competition. Meadowbrook Farm was the winner of the Largest Group Overall to win a custom drape set thanks to Dover Saddlery. Summerfield Farm topped the Best Group Banner contest to take home a custom barn jump courtesy of Swan Lake Horse Shows, Clover Grove Farm had the Best Group Video to receive a customized restored golf cart courtesy of United Metro Golf Cart, and NFF Stables earned the Best Group Spirit Award to win a group clinic with top international show jumper Brianne Goutal.

What's the Most Risky Thing You've Done in Your Career?
Allison Manswell, senior consultant, Cook Ross, at the Ad Age Brand Summit Detroit Credit: Aaron Eckles for Advertising Age
Ad Age Asks Participants at Detroit Brand Summit
There's risk and then there's reward. But they don't always intersect. We asked participants at the Ad Age Brand Summit in Detroit this week about the riskiest brand moves in their careers. Some got the reward and some did not.
Rob Schwartz, CEO of TBWA/Chiat/Day New York, said his biggest risk was undertaking Pepsi "refresh project," a 2010 initiative by PepsiCo to award $20 million in grants to individuals, businesses and nonprofits that promote a new idea that has a positive impact on their community. "We took money off the Super Bowl, a property Pepsi had been on for almost a quarter century, and we put it into a different idea," he said. "How could you possibly take Pepsi off of the Super Bowl? I think it paid off because it showed there was another way for brands to operate: Not just in mass media, but they can really get into their communities."
Allison Manswell, senior consultant, Cook Ross, didn't hesitate when considering the biggest risk she's ever taken in her career: It was deciding to write a book about race in the workplace. She faced some pushback and people suggesting she diversify the book, but she stuck with what she wanted to do. "It was probably one of the best decisions of my career."
Victor Kimble at Periscope Minneapolis, recalled being at Deutsch and working on the Tylenol account. The brand's positioning had been about Tylenol talking about product benefits and pain relief. His team, however, advocated toward making the message about feeling better with a nontraditional campaign including events. His team prevailed and there was a share uptick, but ultimately a more subjective decision was made to revert to the former strategy.
Suzanne Michaels, the executive VP of creative innovation at Leo Burnett, took the biggest risk with her own personal brand. She said "yes" to just about every opportunity that came her way. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, so entering the agency space during the digital dawn of the 1990s, the future was anything but a given. The single biggest gamble: "Leaving BBDO to go to The Abundancy, which was a little startup incubator that was trying to do things differently and reinvent how advertising worked," she said. "We did that for a year and then got bought by Leo Burnett, so it definitely played out."
Roger Baran, creative director of Goodby Silverstein & Partners, said his biggest risk was creating the Rainbow Doritos. Chief concern: "We didn't know how to do the chips." After figuring out the product development of making new shades of the chips, they were working on the project in 2015 before the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage came out. "We didn't know how the Supreme Court would go." So there was the danger of the ruling going the other way. Once the bags were announced, there was also some backlash and negative reaction. But that's just the way the chips crumble.
Chantel Lenard, executive director of U.S. marketing at Ford, said the brand took a risk by using Snapchat to reveal the new EcoSport. Ford turned to DJ Khaled, who debuted the small SUV to his Snapchat followers in advance of the Los Angeles auto show. "It was a first-ever auto reveal with Snapchat," Lenard said. "Together we answered a lot of questions internally about who is the audience of Snapchat: Aren't they 12-year-olds who are never buying vehicles?" But "it really is millions of people, many of whom are over the age of 18 and we want to connect them with the Ford brand early on."

Le thème de Thessalonique (en grec : θέμα Θεσσαλονίκης) est un thème byzantin (une province civile et militaire) situé au sud des Balkans. Il englobe des parties de la Macédoine centrale et occidentale et est centré autour de Thessalonique, la deuxième plus grande ville de l'empire et la capitale du thème.

Histoire

À la fin de l'Antiquité, Thessalonique est la capitale de la province romaine de Macédoine et du diocèse de Macédoine. La ville est aussi le siège de la préfecture du prétoire d'Illyricum. Du fait de la perte de la majeure partie de la péninsule balkanique à la suite des invasions slaves du , l'autorité du préfet (l'éparque) se limite surtout à la ville et à ses alentours immédiats. L'éparque continue de gouverner Thessalonique jusqu'au début du  quand il est remplacé par un stratège placé à la tête du nouveau thème de Thessalonique.

Le stratège de Thessalonique est mentionné pour la première fois en 836 mais une lettre de l'empereur Michel II à Louis le Pieux indique que le thème existe déjà en 824. Warren Treadgold date la création du thème aux alentours de l'an 809, soit lors des campagnes de Nicéphore  contre les Slaves. Il estime que le thème entretient une armée de  hommes au cours du . À l'est, le thème s'étend jusqu'à la rivière Strymon. Au sud, il est frontalier avec le thème de l'Hellas au nord de la Thessalie. Ses frontières occidentales et septentrionales sont inconnues et dépendent des guerres de l'Empire byzantin avec les tribus slaves puis avec les Bulgares.

Sous Jean  Tzimiskès, un doux est présent dans la ville de Thessalonique. Il dirige les troupes des tagmata stationnées dans le thème. Il coexiste un temps avec le stratège avant d'assumer les fonctions de celui-ci un peu plus tard. Lors du , le doukaton de Thessalonique est d'une grande importance et de ce fait là est souvent occupé par des membres de la famille impériale. L'ensemble du thème est conquis par les Latins à la suite de la quatrième croisade en 1204 et appartient au royaume de Thessalonique, qui disparaît en 1224, conquis par le despotat d'Épire. La province de Thessalonique est alors recréée. La région passe ensuite aux mains de l'Empire de Nicée en 1246 avant d'être conquise par les Ottomans à partir du milieu du  et jusqu'en 1392, date de la prise de Thessalonique. À cette date, le thème (ou la province s'en rapprochant) se réduit aux environs directs de Thessalonique. En 1402, la ville redevient byzantine et devient le siège d'un despotat jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit vendue aux Vénitiens en 1423 avant de tomber définitivement aux mains des Ottomans en 1430.

La rue Haute-Wez est une artère ancienne de la section de Grivegnée dans la ville belge de Liège.

Histoire
Au même titre que ses voisines du nord les rues Basse-Wez et du Beau-Mur, la rue Haute-Wez est une voie ancienne (vraisemblablement antérieure au ) reliant le pont d'Amercœur à la localité de Chênée puis remontant la vallée de la Vesdre en direction de Verviers.

Description
Avec une longueur d'environ , cette rue relie la rue Belvaux à la rue du Beau-Mur dans les quartiers dits de la Bonne-Femme et de Grivegnée-Bas. Elle compte environ 140 immeubles. La rue d'abord plate dans sa partie nord s'élève progressivement et opère quelques courbes avant de rejoindre la rue Belvaux.

Toponymie
Wez, ancien hameau à l'entrée de Grivegnée dépendant de la paroisse Saint-Remacle, signifie en wallon ancien : une mare ou un abreuvoir issu d'une source et, en vieux français : un passage d'eau se rapprochant sans doute du mot actuel : gué car, jadis, les méandres et les bras secondaires de l'Ourthe coulaient dans ce quartier comme en lieu et place du boulevard de Froidmont tout proche. Il existe aussi plus au nord une rue Basse-Wez située sur l'ancien territoire communal de Liège.

Architecture et patrimoine
 La petite maison en brique située aux  est l'une des plus anciennes demeures de la rue. Elle a été construite à la fin de   et a subi d'importantes transformations au cours du .
 L'immeuble voisin, sis au , d'architecture néo-classique, date du début du .

Osborne Energy are proud to offer the installation of low energy lighting for clients at no upfront cost*.
With fully funded options, including finance provided by a robust global lighting manufacturer, with production facilities in the UK.
We are able to carry out the installation ourselves using our own approved and trusted supply chain or via the clients own if requested*.
There is the potential for funded installations through Power Purchase Agreements or possible to combine with LED funding package.
For older buildings, we are able to review the current insulation and provide recommendations for improvement.
As part of our bespoke, solutions focused approach, we can develop alternative ways to fund the offer, suited to client set up and requirements and size of project.
The main offer is standard asset finance with the payment profile configured to allow the savings to cover the repayments.
Alternatively, we can look at a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), where the combined capex of the works (LED, solar etc) is be paid off via the unit cost purchase of electricity from the solar PV installation.
This is a stable, long term way to fund the works without directly borrowing. We also have a 'service charge' option which we can develop with you, more details available upon request.
Osborne energy have done a large amount of work in a set of technically and administratively complicated sites for us.
I have been very impressed by the thoroughness of their work and the quality of the sub-contractor and equipment used on site.
The project manager for the work has gone above and beyond the call of duty on numerous occasions and I have been very impressed by the professionalism of the Osborne Energy team and the management of the contractors on site.
The work has been challenging due to the nature of the sites but Osborne have succeeded and impressed all concerned. Overall, I would recommend Osborne Energy for LED replacement work very happily.

Japan–Kosovo relations are foreign relations between Japan and Kosovo. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, and Japan recognized it on March 18, 2008. According to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan and Kosovo established diplomatic relations on February 25, 2009.

History

Dr. Sadako Ogata, the late Japanese-born UN High Commissioner for Refugees, issued an official statement in November 1998, which revealed the violence and abuse that civilians in Kosovo faced every day and an estimated 175,000 people remained displaced inside Kosovo. She demonstrated on the report a lasting commitment to protect Kosovar refugees and returnees and to seek solutions to relevant problems there. In order to cease the appalling violence and to regain peace and prosperity in Kosovo as soon as possible, the Government of Japan declared in April 1999 to provide assistance to international organizations and the neighboring countries which accepted numerous Kosovar refugees, including the UNHCR, Albania and Macedonia.

Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, and Japan recognized it on March 18, 2008. Japan is the third Asian country which recognized the Republic of Kosovo after Afghanistan and Turkey.

Embassy of Kosovo was opened in Tokyo on July 16, 2010. On the other hand, Japan had no embassy in Prishtina until January 1, 2020.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the most long-standing Prime Minister in the entire history of Japan, proposed the launch of the Western Balkans Cooperation Initiative on his visit to several Southeast European countries in January 2018. Despite the fact that he did not visit Kosovo at that time, the scheme emphasized that Japan would strengthen bilateral assistance, support regional cooperation and establish new embassies to the Western Balkan countries including the Republic of Kosovo. As a part of the initiative, two years later, Embassy of Japan was opened in Prishtina.

È famoso in tutto il mondo come creatore della serie di videogiochi Final Fantasy, di cui ha curato i primi dieci capitoli.

Biografia
Sakaguchi nacque a Hitachi, Giappone. Sì diplomò alla Mito Senior High School. Studiò elettrotecnica mentre frequentava l'Università Nazionale di Yokohama nel dipartimento di ingegneria, ma abbandonò il corso assieme a Hiromichi Tanaka a metà anno nel 1983.

Square
Dopo aver abbandonato l'università, Sakaguchi divenne un impiegato part-time della Square, un nuovo ramo della Denyūsha Electric Company fondato da Masafumi Miyamoto. Quando la Square, nel 1986, diviene una compagnia indipendente, egli assume il ruolo di Direttore di Pianificazione e Sviluppo.

Final Fantasy

Sakaguchi si adoperò per curare la realizzazione di un videogioco di ruolo chiamato Final Fantasy, nome dovuto alla situazione sua e dell'azienda stessa: se il gioco infatti non si fosse rivelato un successo commerciale, egli avrebbe lasciato il mondo del videogiochi per rientrare all'università.
Il gioco venne distribuito in Giappone il 18 dicembre 1987 per il Nintendo Entertainment System, rivelandosi un successo in patria. Sotto la guida di Sakaguchi, Final Fantasy diviene ben presto un imponente franchise dal successo internazionale. Final Fantasy V fu l'ultimo titolo della serie che diresse personalmente, rivestendo il ruolo di produttore per i capitoli successivi fino a Final Fantasy IX.

Regista
Si è cimentato nella direzione cinematografica per il film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

Le dimissioni dalla Square

Nel 2004 Sakaguchi si dimise volontariamente dal ruolo di vicepresidente della Square (che, in seguito alla fusione con la Enix Corporation, formerà l'attuale Square Enix). Quello stesso anno, con il finanziamento di Microsoft Game Studios, Sakaguchi fondò la propria software house, Mistwalker, che ha prodotto titoli quali Blue Dragon (2006) e Lost Odyssey (2007), esclusivi per la console Xbox 360 e The Last Story (2011) per Nintendo Wii.

Dover police department to post photos of shoplifting suspects
Esteban Parra
Dover PD will begin posting images of people arrested for shoplifting
Critics warn it punishes people before they have been convicted
Patterned after a town in Texas's program that says there has been a 14 percent drop in shoplifting
Dover hopes
Dover police are turning to an age-old deterrent to combat shoplifting in the city: shame.
Next month, the department will begin posting pictures of people charged with shoplifting on its website and other social media outlets.
"I think it's going to help solve cases, as well as prevent new cases," said Cpl. Mark Hoffman, a Dover police spokesman.
"It's going to be beneficial to a lot of people and businesses, as far as being able to identify and protect their inventory as well," he said.
The weekly notifications will display the names and arrest mugs of adults only. The images will be posted regardless of the dollar amount, store or reasoning, Hoffman said.
Kathleen MacRae, executive director of the ACLU of Delaware, said the concept is irresponsible and a disservice to the community to run photos of people who have not gone through the judicial system.
People are arrested by mistake at times and the charges are later dropped.
"The underlining principal of our system of justice is that people are innocent until they are found guilty," she said. "Therefore displays like this, based solely on arrest and not conviction, are consider to be a violation of somebody's civil rights and an extremely inappropriate action to be taken."
Although this is the first department in Delaware to post mugs of shoplifting suspects, the practice has been done around the country. The practice has drawn cheers from some and concerns from others.
O'Fallon, Missouri, police officials last year began posting the shoplifting suspects on their website. Some business owners applauded the move, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
But attorney Mike Kielty of St. Charles, Missouri, told that newspaper the action set bad precedent.
"This is a petty municipal ordinance violation," he said, "and they're going to put these people on a website before they even have their day in court?"
Officials in Aurora, Colorado, also started the practice earlier this year. After people complained about the policy, the department now posts images of convicted shoplifters on their Facebook account.
Hoffman said they got the idea from police in Rosenberg, Texas. The town of about 31,000 residents is a suburb of Houston, but has similar demographics as Dover.
Tracie Dunn, Rosenberg's assistant police chief, said their latest numbers showed shoplifting was down about 14 percent. The program has been running there for two years and also has been criticized for posting images of people not convicted.
"What we did for that is we put a disclosure at the bottom of our postings saying 'innocent until proven guilty but these are actual arrested people,'" Dunn said.
Hoffman also hopes this is a tool for area businesses by notifying them of shoplifting suspects.
Police said shoplifting is a problem in Dover, which has investigated more than 2,700 cases in a three-year period. This includes 920 last year. Dover officers respond to almost three shoplifting cases a day, Hoffman said, taking officers from other incidents.
The photos are another tool the department will use, especially with the approaching holiday season when there is an increase in shoplifting.
"We figured if we started early in August, then people will be really paying attention to this stuff come the holiday season," he said. "We'll gauge it and see how it works for us and continue it from there."

Jhumpa Lahiri's novel 'The Namesake' is the story of the central character's personal journey towards self-discovery. The protagonist learns to balance his views of American identity with those of his parents' tendencies towards tradition. With this in mind, Lahiri centers the novel on Gogol Ganguli, chronicling the character's life from childhood to middle age. He is considered a second-generation immigrant and struggles to uphold his parents' expectations while living in America. Lahiri begins the novel by introducing Gogol's birth, following this up with references to his childhood. Conflict enters the novel when his parents change his name; his reluctance to adopt it and respond to it is evidenced in the narrative. Lahiri ends 'The Namesake' with Gogol entering and finishing college and moving later into middle age where he endures his wife's infidelity. Lahiri ends with a character who is at peace with himself. Themes of the novel include identity, adoption, and death.
FreeBookNotes has 9 more books by Jhumpa Lahiri, with a total of 41 study guides.

Q: Have my discord bot respond when two different words are said in one message? This is a really simple question, but I'm making an incredibly simple bot (small, private friend server) and I can't figure out how to do this, nor have I been able to look up anything that matches what I'm looking for.
How do I make it so that my bot will only respond if two different words are sent in one message?
Here's an example:
 if (message.content.toLowerCase().includes('egg')) {
  message.channel.send(egg(message));
 } else

With the function of "egg(message)" declared elsewhere in the code, of course. My bot will respond to anyone who sends a message with the word "egg" anywhere in it with a randomly generated response, which works fine.
What I want to know is if it's possible to, say, have the bot respond if anyone says the words "egg" and "bacon" in one message. Meaning, I want it to respond if both of those two words are said anywhere in a message, but to not respond if only "egg" or "bacon" is said. I hope that makes sense.

A: You can use &&, which stands for and in conditions, like so:
let msg_content = message.content.toLowerCase()
if (msg_content.includes('egg') && msg_content.includes('bacon')) {
  message.channel.send(egg(message));
 }

Why is Wrigley Heir Unloading His Homes?
The Chicago Tribune reports that Bill Wrigley Jr., the chewing gum heir and chairman of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., has put his Gold Coast penthouse on the market for $14 million.
The top floor can be yours for $14 million.
The 12,000-square-foot giant is the highest-priced residential listing in Chicago. Oh and by the way, it's raw space.
Mr. Wrigley, age 46, is also selling his 11,013-square-foot, Italianate mansion on Lake Michigan in Lake Forest. That's priced at $14.5 million.
The question is why is he selling now?
Mr. Wrigley's realtor said Mr. Wrigley is looking for a smaller space. That's understandable given that 12,000 square feet can feel a bit roomy, even for a family. It's entirely possible he came down with a case of Oversized Home Syndrome.
Or perhaps, like lots of rich peope today, he just wants to downsize on real-estate. He has an $11 million beach house North Palm Beach, Fla. And an $11.53 million in property in Aspen, Colo.
But few sellers would dare sell high-priced homes in the current housing market unless they needed to. The top of the luxury market — i.e. $14 million pads in Chicago — is under growing pressure as the American wealth machine grinds to a halt. Even with stocks up, there simply aren't as many multi-millionaires today who can afford eight-digit properties.
Mr. Wrigley led the sale of his family's chewing gum empire to Mars Inc for $23 billion in cash in 2008. So presumably he has plenty of liquidity.
Why do you think Mr. Wrigley is unloading his Chicago palaces? And will they sell at the current prices?

Bohoniki and Kruszyniany - Mosques and Mizars
Bohoniki
Monument of History
XVII - XIX w.
Bohoniki and Kruszyniany are a living proof of the cultural richness and religious tolerance in the bygone days of the First Republic of Poland. They form an exceptional piece of evidence of the centuries-old existence of a Muslim community in a Christian country - evidence of the fact that the members of this community have managed to retain their identity while at the same time becoming assimilated into the Polish society, which is confirmed by unusual historic monuments in the form of grave inscriptions written in Polish, but with the use of Arabic alphabet. In addition, these mosques provide a unique link between the traditions of Islam and the local customs in the field of construction of sacred buildings.
The members of the Tatar community were taking residence in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to which these towns used to belong during the period before the Partitions of Poland from the late 14th century. In exchange for military service, they received allotment of land mainly in the region of Vilnius, Troki, Grodno and Kaunas. From the 17th century onwards they also began establishing settlements in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland (Corona Regni Poloniae) itself - mainly in the Volhynia and Podolia regions as well as in the Suwałki region, where they began settling at the end of the century. They were mostly political refugees from among the elders of the Golden Horde as well as from Crimea; others were farmers, while a few were prisoners of war.
The establishment of Tatar settlements in Bohoniki and Kruszyniany was the result of the Lipek Rebellion (1667-1672) - a mutiny among the Tatars (named Lipeks after the part of Lithuania which was controlled by the Turks at that time) to whom John Sobieski, in exchange for overdue soldier's pay, promised to give land that was owned by the Crown. In 1679, the subordinates of the cavalry captains Bohdan Kieński and Gazy Sielecki was allocated the village of the Bohoniki, while colonel Samuel Murza Krzeczowski with his troops was allocated a few pieces of land, including the village of Kruszyniany. The officers were provided with farms, while their soldiers, treated as petty nobility, were given houses. They established religious communities and erected mosques made of wood, for only such were allowed to be built at the time. Their builders were the local craftsmen who were not familiar with the architecture of the Middle East and who could only model their work on the sacred buildings that existed in the region of Podlasie which, in terms of appearance, differed from the established design patterns prevailing in the Islamic world. As a result, the local mosques are unique in terms of appearance and bear no resemblance to the Muslim temples which exist in other countries.
At first glance, the mosque in Bohoniki looks like an Orthodox church - with its symmetrical design and the small pinnacle in the centre which performs the function of a minaret, crowned with a bulbous dome; it was built in the centre of the village at the end of 1873, most likely replacing an older temple erected at the end of the 17th or in the early 18th century. Following the damage sustained during World War II, when the mosque performed the function of a military hospital, its was renovated and restored to its former function at the beginning of the 1950s. The building was restored once again in years 1982-1985. The mosque in Kruszyniany stands in a picturesque spot some distance away from other buildings, its appearance similar to that of small countryside churches. Its design is a nod towards the churches which were built near the borders of Mazowsze, in Podlasie and in the Suwałki region, their distinguishing feature being the pair of towers at the front. It was built at the end of the 18th century, replacing an older temple founded by Samuel Krzeczowski. After the war, it was restored on a number of occasions (1957, 1976, 1984-1985), each time with the use of traditional materials.
Another unique element of the Tatar legacy are the Tatar cemeteries, also known as mizars. The cemetery in Bohoniki is located beyond the village and is the largest Muslim cemetery in Poland (approx. 2 hectares). It was most likely established in the 18th century and subsequently extended in the 19th century. The cemetery in Kruszyniany (approx. 1 hectare) is situated in the eastern part of the village, about 200 metres from the mosque, on a wooded hill. It was probably established in the 2nd half of the 17th century; the area was fenced during the 18th century. The arrangement of the gravestones does not follow a regular pattern, although all of them are oriented towards the south. There are numerous graves dating back to the 19th century, some of them in the form of obelisks crowned with metal crescents. They were decorated with garlands and inscriptions in Polish and Arabic, and after 1863 also in Cyrillic. The inscriptions are accompanied by symbols e.g. a crescent with a star or so-called tamgas (hereditary coat of arms of the Tatars). Old, earthen graves featured a lens shape, accentuated by three or five layers of small field stones placed along a grave and two large stones - a larger one, bearing a carved inscription, positioned near the head of the deceased and a smaller one positioned at his or her feet. The oldest inscriptions which are still legible date back to 1796 and 1769 in Bohoniki and Kruszyniany respectively.

Rethinking time and the physics of life
"If the theory of syntropy is correct, three levels of time must exist. The sequential time to which we are accustomed to, in which energy is divergent and entropy prevails, would be typical of expanding systems, such as our universe. On the contrary, in a converging system the flow of time would be reversed as it happens in black holes. There are also systems in which diverging and converging forces are balanced, such as atoms. At this level time is unitary and past, present and future coexist."

Alan Watts - On shifting the manner in which we think.
From where does consciousness rise in the brain?
A great article on the new understandings of the nature of consciousness in the brain which may revolutionize our assumptions.
"A review and update of a controversial 20-year-old theory of consciousness published in Physics of Life Reviews claims that consciousness derives from deeper level, finer scale activities inside brain neurons. The recent discovery of quantum vibrations in "microtubules" inside brain neurons corroborates this theory, according to review authors Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose. They suggest that EEG rhythms (brain waves) also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations, and that from a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions."
"The theory, called "orchestrated objective reduction" ('Orch OR'), was first put forward in the mid-1990s by eminent mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, FRS, Mathematical Institute and Wadham College, University of Oxford, and prominent anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, MD, Anesthesiology, Psychology and Center for Consciousness Studies, The University of Arizona, Tucson. They suggested that quantum vibrational computations in microtubules were "orchestrated" ("Orch") by synaptic inputs and memory stored in microtubules, and terminated by Penrose "objective reduction" ('OR'), hence "Orch OR." Microtubules are major components of the cell structural skeleton."
"Orch OR was harshly criticized from its inception, as the brain was considered too "warm, wet, and noisy" for seemingly delicate quantum processes.. However, evidence has now shown warm quantum coherence in plant photosynthesis, bird brain navigation, our sense of smell, and brain microtubules. The recent discovery of warm temperature quantum vibrations in microtubules inside brain neurons by the research group led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay, PhD, at the National Institute of Material Sciences in Tsukuba, Japan (and now at MIT), corroborates the pair's theory and suggests that EEG rhythms also derive from deeper level microtubule vibrations. In addition, work from the laboratory of Roderick G. Eckenhoff, MD, at the University of Pennsylvania, suggests that anesthesia, which selectively erases consciousness while sparing non-conscious brain activities, acts via microtubules in brain neurons."
"The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?" ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review. "This opens a potential Pandora's Box, but our theory accommodates both these views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules, protein polymers inside brain neurons, which both govern neuronal and synaptic function, and connect brain processes to self-organizing processes in the fine scale, 'proto-conscious' quantum structure of reality."
"After 20 years of skeptical criticism, "the evidence now clearly supports Orch OR," continue Hameroff and Penrose. "Our new paper updates the evidence, clarifies Orch OR quantum bits, or "qubits," as helical pathways in microtubule lattices, rebuts critics, and reviews 20 testable predictions of Orch OR published in 1998 -- of these, six are confirmed and none refuted."
"An important new facet of the theory is introduced. Microtubule quantum vibrations (e.g. in megahertz) appear to interfere and produce much slower EEG "beat frequencies." Despite a century of clinical use, the underlying origins of EEG rhythms have remained a mystery. Clinical trials of brief brain stimulation aimed at microtubule resonances with megahertz mechanical vibrations using transcranial ultrasound have shown reported improvements in mood, and may prove useful against Alzheimer's disease and brain injury in the future.
"Lead author Stuart Hameroff concludes, "Orch OR is the most rigorous, comprehensive and successfully-tested theory of consciousness ever put forth. From a practical standpoint, treating brain microtubule vibrations could benefit a host of mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions."
The review is accompanied by eight commentaries from outside authorities, including an Australian group of Orch OR arch-skeptics. To all, Hameroff and Penrose respond robustly."
"Penrose, Hameroff and Bandyopadhyay will explore their theories during a session on "Microtubules and the Big Consciousness Debate" at the Brainstorm Sessions, a public three-day event at the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 16-18, 2014. They will engage skeptics in a debate on the nature of consciousness, and Bandyopadhyay and his team will couple microtubule vibrations from active neurons to play Indian musical instruments. "Consciousness depends on anharmonic vibrations of microtubules inside neurons, similar to certain kinds of Indian music, but unlike Western music which is harmonic," Hameroff explains."

On Psychic Problems.....
The preeminent scholar and philosopher Manly P. Hall who founded the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles. He's the author of "Secret Teachings of All Ages" which he wrote in his twenties in 1928.
He wrote many books, among them "Solving Psychic Problems and Submerged Personalities" from which this definitive quote emerged:
"We advise those who come with psychic problems to relax the tensions caused by fear and uncertainty and take a matter-of-fact attitude. Nine times out of ten this ends the phenomenon, which which is only hysteria due to metaphysical indigestion. Spirits are traditionally believed to inhabit ancient ruins, old and deserted houses, graveyards, places of executions, and similar melancholy spots. They shun the light of day, remain aloof from gaiety and happiness, and return to their graves when the cock crows at dawn. Psychological spooks frequent those gloomy and decadent zones of the subconscious which correspond to the melancholy places of the earth. They rise from the dead hopes and from the ruins of old memories, and they depart in haste at the approach of mental light. When day breaks in us, the specters fade like mist at dawn. When we clean out the gloomy ruins within ourselves, there is no suitable habitation for the shadows of lost causes."
"There is no essential evil in nature, not intent to plague mortals with horrible phantoms. Such a sad condition myst be caused by the individual, and the cure lies in the correction of the cause. Socrates paid homage to happy spirits and found each grove and glade the habitation of useful and kindly creatures ever ready to serve mankind. Having experienced the universe as full of goodness, the philosopher had no place in his own soul for fear. He lived his convictions and died with a good hope. If we do not acknowledge the existence of injustice, we are seldom the victims of any mysterious evil agency. If, however, we lack within ourselves a deep and abiding confidence about the integrity of universals, we plague ourselves innumerable deceits. The remedy is to live and think constructively, develop our internal resources naturally and graciously, correct our faults, forget the past, and dedicate the present and the future to useful and constructive enterprises. The spook, if any, cannot endure such optimism, and departs in search of a more congenial ruin to haunt."

Cornish Horizons Raises over £25,000 for Cornwall's Air Ambulance
Holiday cottage company, Cornish Horizons, has raised over £25,000 for the Cornwall Air Ambulance since the partnership began in 2016.
Cornish Horizons, which has offices in Padstow, St Ives, Fowey, Porthleven and Looe, enable their customers during their website checkout to make a voluntary donation of £2 towards to the Cornwall Air Ambulance. The scheme this year alone has raised a massive £9,800, which pushes the total amount raised since launch to over £25,500.
Marketing Manager of Cornish Horizons, Harriet Wills, said: "We can't believe how quickly we've raised such a large sum of money. It just goes to show how important our guests feel the Air Ambulance is. Cornwall is such a large county with so many visitors particularly over summer so having the Cornwall Air Ambulance is vital."
"To see the helicopters, learn about the lifesaving equipment that's on-board and meet the team really reminds us how much this support is needed. We're delighted our guests recognise the importance of this service".
The Cornwall Air Ambulance has been saving lives across the county since 1987, flying more than 700 lifesaving missions each year. The helicopter can be dispatched within 3 minutes of a 999 call being made and on average they can be at the scene of an accident or incident anywhere in Cornwall within 12 minutes. They can treat patients on-scene or take them to a hospital that best suits their needs, whether in Cornwall or at specialist hospitals out of county such as Derriford's Trauma Unit or the Bristol Children's Hospital. They reach these specialist centres in minutes, rather than the hours it can take by road.
Steph Bray, Corporate Fundraising Officer at Cornwall Air Ambulance, says "We are delighted to receive this incredible donation from Cornish Horizons. Their support over the previous three years has been staggering, and the £25,000 raised has gone a long way to helping the charity keep flying and saving lives.
Each year over 15% of the charity's missions are for non-residents, and therefore it is fantastic to have the support of a tourism business, which recognises the importance of the Cornwall Air Ambulance in keeping everyone in the county safe. Thank you to the staff and customers of Cornish Horizons for their support."

Athletic Directors in the news
Gene Walker
The University of Georgia moved quickly to promote Josh Brooks to Athletic Director to succeed the retiring Greg McGarity. When McGarity announced his retirement effective December 31, Brooks was named by university president Jere Morehead as the interim AD. Brooks rejoined Georgia in 2016 after serving as athletic director at Millsaps College and Deputy AD at Louisiana-Monroe. He was promoted to number two in Georgia's department last January. The interim tag was removed by Morehead last Wednesday, January 6. Brooks' promotion demonstrates the Georgia Way at its finest. Morehead expected McGarity's retirement and indicated that he wanted a quick, smooth process to find his replacement. Though a committee was formed, and a search firm hired to vet candidates, it was a foregone conclusion that Brooks would get the job. Morehead knew Brooks well. Brooks,40, is a native of Hammond, Louisiana and holds a Bachelor's degree from LSU and a Master's degree from Georgia. He was first brought to Georgia in 2008 by Coach Mark Richt to serve as Director of Football Operations. During his two tenures, he has earned the reputation of a "detail guru." He has overseen the recent huge athletic construction projects on campus. Darice Griffin has been promoted to his previous position as Senior Deputy Athletic Director. She was hired by the university in
December 2017. Larry Dunn was relieved of his duties as Thomson High Athletic Director in an emergency called meeting by the McDuffie County Board of Education on December 30. I was not at the basketball game on December 26, so it is not my intent to address the reasoning behind that decision because I do not know all the facts. The abrupt timing of this decision suggests that trust between Dunn and the board had eroded to an unsustainable point. The position of Athletic Director has been created by individual schools and local systems, not by the Georgia Department of Education or state school board. It is not mandated by law, so other than normal educational statutes and ethics, the position itself holds no legal standing in Georgia. Like coaches, the state's Fair Dismissal Law does not protect the tenure of athletic directors. They serve solely at the pleasure of the local school board and they are hired and fired accordingly. Athletic salaries are funded locally. Each school board establishes its own job description and who supervises the athletic director. A well thought out plan works best but too often the role is developed through happenstance. I coached at schools where the AD was the head football coach supervised directly by the principal. It was the traditional way, with an ongoing dialogue between the two that provided a strong system of checks and balances. With athletics now so complicated, the jobs are too much for one person. Schools and systems get into trouble with athletics when they fail to acknowledge who they are and what they want to be. Smaller, rural, single high school systems like McDuffie, Warren and Burke cannot operate athletics like multi-school systems Columbia and Richmond. Oddly perhaps, there is more scrutiny on athletics in Thomson than in Augusta. Ask yourself, if ARC fired their AD during the holidays do you think there would be hundreds of comments on Facebook from people who have never attended a game? I do not. It is imperative that school administrations and boards determine their philosophy for athletics and build policies accordingly. Do they consider their program a recreational one to merely keep kids occupied and off the streets or a competitive one, where the values and teamwork taught by traveling to another town and competing against the scoreboard are worthwhile? Admittedly, the latter is misunderstood, distasteful, disinteresting, or all three to many current school leaders, but the Athletic Director must align with a core philosophy. Just as they do academics, school leadership should seriously analyze the needs and preferences of its' stakeholders concerning athletics. Their most important constituency is the students. Their charge is to develop athletics within an educational environment, not a collegiate or professional one. Fans often forget that, wanting it to be like the University of Alabama or the NFL. Winning, however, should never be deemphasized. That reeks of apathy. A clear, concise chain of command from the top down prevents miscommunication. A competent athletic director accepts who is in charge and why. Lessening the links in the chain may work best. The AD answering directly to the Superintendent only is rare, but not unheard of. An AD should be a consensus builder and a facilitator, not a dictator. He or she must recognize and identify with the challenges of coaching. Hire them out of discernment, not convenience. Athletic Director is an important job. Treat it like one.

The Casaba melon is unique in its appearance, thus once identified it is easily recognized. It has an ovoid to round shape that comes to a point at its stem end. When ripe its skin will be a golden yellow with hints of green throughout. Its thick rind has irregular, shallow furrows running from end to end. The creamy pale green to white flesh is mild and sweet in flavor with nuances of Asian pear. Unlike other muskmelon varieties its aroma is very subtle and its skin is void of the typical netting.
Casaba melons are available summer through the early winter.
Botanically known as Cucumis melo var inodoras and a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, the Casaba melon is a unique variety of muskmelon. They belong to the winter melon group, which also includes honeydew melons. The winter melon classification is attributed to their growing season, their hardiness and long shelf-life. Casaba melons are a parent melon along with a cantaloupe variety to the Crenshaw melon.
Casaba melons are best utilized in fresh preparations. Its flavor will work well in both sweet and savory salads. Pureed it can be added to cold soups, smoothies, sorbets, sauces and cocktails. The Casaba melon pairs well with curry, cucumber, chilies, lime, red onion, mint, basil, coconut milk, ricotta, mozzarella and cottage cheese. An excellent keeper once ripe uncut Casaba melon will keep at room temperature for up to two weeks. Refrigerate cut up melon in a covered container up to three days.
The Casaba melon was introduced to the United States in the late nineteenth century when it was imported from Kasaba, Turkey. Unlike several melon varieties, the Casaba does not "slip" from the vine at maturity. The fruits are harvested by cutting the stem when the melons are reasonably mature and then held in storage until the blossom end becomes soft.

Kodak Black and two different individuals had been injured in a capturing exterior a nightclub that was internet hosting an afterparty for a Justin Bieber live performance
Florida rapper Kodak Black, one of many celebrities whom then-US President Donald Trump pardoned simply earlier than leaving workplace final yr, was amongst three individuals who had been shot and injured exterior a nightclub close to Los Angeles.
The capturing occurred early Saturday morning exterior The Good Man lounge in West Hollywood, which was reportedly internet hosting a star-studded afterparty following a close-by Justin Bieber live performance. Black, 24, and the 2 different victims had been anticipated to recuperate after being taken to an area hospital, police advised NBC Information.
A number of photographs had been fired as a scuffle broke out shortly after the rapper and his entourage left the nightclub round 2:45 a.m. No arrests have been made within the case, and a fourth individual was injured with out being shot.
One other media account of the incident, by TMZ, indicated that Black was shot within the leg.

TMZ stated the combat began when one of many performer's associates was attacked by an unknown assailant.

BYESVILLE - The first shot of the game went to Coshocton point guard Nick Kirkpatrick, who caught the ball in the right corner, turned and nailed a 3-pointer, despite being fouled.
Kirkpatrick missed the free throw, but that shot set the tone of Friday's Division III sectional playoff game.
Excluding a cold third quarter, the Coshocton boys basketball team ran its offense to near perfection, as Monroe Central had no answer. Coshocton cruised to 72-45 win against the Seminoles.
"We had it all tonight," said Ashton Jarvis, who finished with 16 points, six rebounds, four steals and three assists. "It was a great feeling today."
Kirkpatrick's 3-pointer was followed by an Andrew Mason basket inside. Then came three straight 3s from Ashton Jarvis, Mason and Kirkpatrick. The early shooting was even more important as it opened up the inside for the Redskins, who scored in the paint on their next three possessions.
The Redskins came into the game knowing they would have the advantage inside against the Seminoles and they needed to get the ball to their post players. Once they did Monroe Central couldn't stop them.
"We needed to get the ball down to Andrew (Mason) and Dallas (Griffiths) on the block, and when you come out and hit a couple 3s, it gives those guys an advantage," Coshocton coach Jeremy Ady said.
Coshocton carried its hot start into halftime, leading 38-18, but it didn't continue in the third.
The Seminoles came out and made two 3s in a row, cutting the Redskins' lead to 40-24. At that moment, Jarvis said they needed to step up.
"Basketball is game of runs. They were on a run, and we just had to withstand it and get a couple stops," Ady said. "We made a couple plays, got a couple stops. It was just a little run and we just had to get through it."
They stepped up, but not on the offensive end, as they shot 4-for-15 from the field, it was on the backboards. They outrebounded the Seminoles 10-4 in the period.
Coshocton held onto its double-digit lead going into the fourth quarter and cruised to a victory. This win not only allows the Redskins to move on in the playoffs, but gives their five seniors their first postseason win.
"This is good for the program and good for the seniors," Ady said. "We are playing pretty good, and I'm happy with the win and an effort. I always tell the seniors 'You never know when it's your last game,' and that's important to these guys right now."
Coshocton will play Fort Frye at 7 p.m. Friday at Meadowbrook High School.
Monroe Central: 14-33 FG, 12-18 FT, 5-15 3pt. (Graham 3) 9 rebounds (Lafollette 3), 11 turnovers, 7 Assists (Lincoln 2), Steals 2. Scoring: Duffy 3 7-7 13, Schumacher 4 3-5 11, Howell 3 2-6 10, Graham 3 0-0 9, Jones 1 0-0 2.

Theory and analysis. Music theory is concerned principally with the structure of music. Music theorists are engaged in such diverse tasks as the study of analytical and pedagogical technique, 'pure' theory, psychoacoustics, music perception, and the history of theory.
Theory and analysis. Music theory is concerned principally with the structure of music. Music theorists are engaged in such diverse tasks as the study of analytical and pedagogical technique, 'pure' theory, psychoacoustics, music perception, and the history of theory. By its very nature, much music theory takes a generalized rather than a nationalist perspective and so music theorists seldom specialize in Canadian music. (Gail Dixon, however, has done analytical studies of the music of John Beckwith, Harry Freedman, Jean Papineau-Couture, and Barbara Pentland, among others.) Topics at theory conferences held in Canada have rarely been specifically Canadian in nature; in fact, they have been distinguishable from those at theory conferences held in other countries only by the relative absence of local content. While this situation is perhaps understandable, given the focus of much of the work in music theory, it is to be hoped that more Canadian theorists will recognize in the music of their country a rich source of virtually untapped material which will reward serious analytic investigation.
Prior to 1980, formal advanced training in the discipline of music theory was largely unavailable in Canada, and most students went to US universities for their degrees. This situation had changed by 1991, when master's degrees in theory were offered at the universities of Alberta, Ottawa, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Western Ontario, and at McGill U; the last three also offered doctoral programs in the discipline.
The first music theorist in Canada was probably Robert Talbot, whose publications included Cycle de Quintes: Des propriétés de l'intervalle de quinte dans la science, dans l'histoire, dans la pédagogie de la musique (Quebec City 1940). One of few examples of work from the following decades is Graham George's Tonality and Musical Structure(London 1970) which propounds an original theory of the relation of form to key change..Such has been the growth in the field that, in 1990, there were more than two dozen highly respected senior theorists on the faculties of the major Canadian universities, among them such notable figures as Bo Alphonce (McGill University), William Benjamin and Wallace Berry (both at the University of British Columbia), William Caplin (McGill University), Gail Dixon (University of Western Ontario), Anne Hall (Wilfrid Laurier), Edward Laufer (University of Toronto), Christopher Lewis (University of Alberta), Jean-Jacques Nattiez (University of Montreal), and Richard Parks (University of Western Ontario). As theorists expand the boundaries of their discipline, some are exploring subject areas and methodologies that combine elements of theory, musicology, ethnomusicology, and other non-musical disciplines. Among those in Canada working in such areas are Istvan Anhalt, Regula Burckhardt Qureshi and Jay Rahn. Increasing numbers of superbly trained young theorists are finding places in the music schools of the major Canadian universities, thus ensuring continued healthy growth of the discipline. Canadian scholars are engaged in research in almost every aspect of the discipline, and they are widely respected amongst the international community of theorists.
Until 1986 there had never been a conference in Canada devoted specifically to music theory. Certainly theoretical research was presented in more general Canadian conferences, such as those sponsored by the CUMS, but a theorist who wished to present the results of his or her research to colleagues in his discipline was forced to attend a conference outside of the country. To address this problem, the first Canadian theory conference was organized by McGill University in 1986. A second followed in 1988 at the University of Alberta, and a third in 1990 at the University of Western Ontario. Future biennial theory conferences were planned, and there has been discussion about the possibility of establishing a chapter of the US-based Society for Music Theory in Canada, or of setting up a Canadian theory society. Whatever the outcome of these deliberations, it seems clear that music theory is firmly established as a potent aspect of musical scholarship in Canada.
