Postgraduate Pioneers 2017 #5
With our Postgraduate Open Day fast-approaching (3 November), we introduce five PhD candidates who are already making waves at Cambridge.
Food was and remains so central to human identities.
Eleanor Barnett, PhD student
Fifth in the series is Eleanor Barnett, a historian examining the relationship between food and religious change during the European Reformations.
My research sets out to
Focusing on England and Italy, I look at how food was used in worship both within and outside of the church, how religion shaped people's ideas of what was healthy to eat, and how religion impacted on the ways and material environments in which people ate in everyday life.
One of the most important theological changes of the Reformation was the Protestant rejection of the Catholic belief in transubstantiation. I'm interested in how this worked out in what people were actually eating in the Communion.
In England, Elizabeth I wrote in her Prayer Book of 1559 that the Communion bread should be table bread of the best quality, but in the same year the Queen's Injunctions state that the bread should be more like the pre-Reformation Catholic wafer so that 'the more reverence to be given to these holy mysteries'. She called for the traditional stamp to be removed from the wafer and for the wafer to be made a little wider and thicker.
This is interesting because it shows that whilst, in accordance with a changed understanding of grace and salvation in Protestant theology, there was a drive in Elizabethan England to remove material things that could be worshiped, there remained a desire to make sure that what you were commemorating was still reflected in material properties. So in this case, the bread still had to be in some way special.
At the start of Elizabeth's reign, attempts were made to enforce the Injunctions but by the 1570s, it became clear that table bread was more commonly used.
My Motivation
The most important thing for me is to understand how people experienced religion in the early modern period. More specifically, I hope to get across that people in the past were not intellectualized beings always concerned with theology, but were interacting with their bodies and the material environment every day in ways that reflected or enforced their religious identity. Food is a really useful way to explore the lived experience of what it meant to be a Protestant or a Catholic in this period.
Everyone has to eat so food is a great way for us in the twenty-first century to connect with people in the past on a human level. Food was and remains so central to human identities.
I'm really interested in public history initiatives and I'm an Editor for the blog, Doing History in Public so my research topic and philosophy as a historian go hand-in-hand.
My best days
A highlight for me has been looking at the really unusual and significant Elizabethan records at King's College, Cambridge. These record day-by-day what was being eaten in the College. This is invaluable evidence for me because its shows how far people were adhering to the Church's instructions regarding food, in particular what could be consumed on the weekly Fish Days, Lent and religious feast days.
I discovered that throughout the period, King's College adhered to eating fish on Friday and Saturday and avoiding meat during Lent. There were, however, times in Lent when the College was prepared to celebrate. In 1560, the Feast of Annunciation occurred during Lent and the College hosted a really big feast, five times more expensive than a normal Monday.
I have also seen significant changes in the Elizabethan period reflected in what was happening at King's. For instance, by 1576 the College had abandoned the Feast of St Barnabas in accordance with the New Calendar, but started celebrating the Queen's Day on 17 November to celebrate Elizabeth's coronation.
I hope my work will lead to
My PhD research will contribute to our understanding of what it meant to be a Protestant and a Catholic in Reformation Europe, through exploring the embodied, sensory, and everyday religious experience of eating.
By taking a comparative approach, I hope that this theme will shed new light on the differences between Catholic and Protestant identities, and ultimately comment on the nature of religious change in the Reformation periods.
It had to be Cambridge because
I am lucky enough to have two fantastic historians as my supervisors, Professor Craig Muldrew and Professor Ulinka Rublack, and to be further supported by a brilliant wider team of historians. We meet in seminars every week and the graduate students also have workshops where you can share ideas and hear papers.
At the same time, at Cambridge you're given the freedom to grow as an independent researcher and to develop new skills through practical experience - I am currently improving my Italian and paleographical skills by researching in the Venetian archives!
I particularly like the emphasis on inter-disciplinary work at Cambridge, so for me that means I can speak to art historians and scientists about how the body functions, how it was thought to function in the past, and how this might affect food and consumption practices in the Reformation period.
It's an everyday inspiration to be surrounded by art and architecture from the period you are studying, not least in my own College, Christ's. But Cambridge also plays a much more active role in my research because some of the Colleges hold such rich early modern records.

Connie Mack III Political Papers
The records of the Connie Mack III Papers date from 1888 to 2018 and are largely confined to Mack's career in the U.S. House (1983-1988) and Senate (1989-2001). The collection also contains material concerning Mack's post-Senate activities and family history. Among the many record types, the collection contains correspondence, memoranda, legislative staff files, press releases, speeches, articles, schedules and calendars, trip files, campaign materials, photographs, memorabilia, and audiovisual materials. Major topics include Cancer research and early detection, health care, Everglades restoration, financial modernization, modification of the tax code, public housing reform, Major League Baseball (MLB) expansions to Florida, foreign affairs, immigration, and the Elian Gonzalez controversy.
Series 1: "Legislative files, 1982-2000" contains staff working files, project files, subject files, committee files, floor statements, legislative activity reports, record vote analysis reports, and VIP correspondence with Congressional colleagues and government officials, including the President of the United States. The series contains very few files from Mack's time in the House, primarily documenting his service in the Senate. Of special interest are the staff working files which document specific bills, budget appropriations, and topics related to pending or possible legislation. Documented here are internal discussions between Mack and his staff on the questions of the day as well as correspondence with other legislators and interested parties.
Series 2: "Constituent services, 1983-2000" contains a near complete record of constituent mail sent to Mack's office during both his House and Senate career. Also included are form letter libraries and edited drafts of responses from Mack's staff. The House mail is arranged based on a numeric system that was assigned to each response sent by Mack's office and is ordered roughly chronological. The Senate mail is organized by the staff member who responded, typically legislative correspondents, who specialized in particular subject areas. Most of the Senate mail is organized chronologically by the date of response, but some files are organized topically by subject. Aggregate statistical information is also included for some years.
Series 3: "Campaign and political files, 1981-1997" documents Connie Mack's political campaigns for the U.S. House and Senate as well as his other political activities and polling data. Also present are the files of Jorge Arrizurieta, who worked as Executive Assistant to Alec Courtelis (Finance Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida) during President George H.W. Bush's 1988 election campaign. The files contain correspondence, speeches, scrapbooks, newspaper clippings, internal memoranda, campaign event information, various types of campaign literature, A/V material, and polling data. Other campaign material can be found in the Memorabilia series (campaign signs and buttons) and Press Office files series (press staff files, and photographs).
Series 4: "Schedules and travel, 1985-2000" contains Connie Mack's daily schedules and travel files detailing Mack's trips both within and outside of Florida including trip itineraries, staff memoranda, and drafts of speeches. Only a small portion of his House career is documented in these files.
Series 5: "Press Office files, 1888-2006; bulk: 1982-2006" contains files created by Connie Mack's Press Office including staff subject files, speeches and interviews, press releases and newsletters, photographs, news clippings, and audio-visual material (excluding 1982 and 1988 campaign material which resides in the campaign series). Only a small portion of material from his House career is represented.
Series 6: "Immigration case files, 1991-1997" contains immigration case files handled by Senator Mack's Regional Senate Office in Miami. The files are arranged alphabetically by the applicant's name and divided into two subseries by year (1992-1996 and 1997). The case files primarily contain requests for assistance in obtaining visas to the United States, mostly from Cuban citizens. Immigration case files are restricted indefinitely pending further review by the Libraries. Please consult with special collections staff regarding use of case files.
Series 7: "Post-Senate career, 2001-2018" contains files documenting Connie Mack's career after his retirement from the Senate. Many of these files come from a later donation by Connie Mack in 2016. Of special interest are the files concerning his service as chairman of President George W. Bush's President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform.
Series 8: "Family history, 1949-1954" contains photocopies of letters, notes, and telegrams that were mostly written by Connie Mack's grandfather, Hall of Fame Baseball Manager Connie Mack I (1862-1956) to Mr. Shannon Fife (American journalist, screenwriter, and humorist) of Lake Placid, NY. The originals were found in a bookcase in Senator Mack's personal office.
Series 9: "Memorabilia, 1916-2003; bulk: 1982-2000" contains a variety of memorabilia from Connie Mack's House and Senate career as well as personal items related to his family (especially his grandfather, Hall of Fame Baseball Manager Connie Mack I) including scrapbooks, photographs, news clippings, programs, certificates, awards, plaques, campaign/political material, and other artifacts.
Mack, Connie, 1940- (Person)

Please consult with special collections staff before accessing constituent mail older than thirty years. Reproduction in any format of constituent mail is prohibited. Potential privacy issues prevent the George A. Smathers Libraries from providing permissions to publish constituent mail.
Records of executive nominations are unavailable for public inspection for 50 years after creation.
Immigration case files are restricted indefinitely pending further review by the Libraries. Please consult with special collections staff regarding use of case files.
Please consult with the archivist about accessing audiovisual materials. Some media formats may only be used pending reformatting.
Cornelius McGillicuddy III, popularly known as Connie Mack, was a Republican politician who served three terms in the U.S. House (1983-1988) and two terms in the U.S. Senate (1989-2001) before announcing his retirement in 2000.
Connie Mack was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 29, 1940. He came from a long line of American politicians on his mother's side including his grandfather Morris Sheppard (U.S. Senator and Representative from Texas), step-grandfather Tom Connally (U.S. Senator from Texas), and great-grandfather John Levi Sheppard (U.S. Representative from Texas). His paternal grandfather was Connie Mack (1862-1956), former owner and manager of baseball's Philadelphia Athletics and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Connie Mack graduated from the University of Florida in 1966 with a degree in Marketing from the School of Business. While attending the university, he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. Following his graduation, he served as a community banker and President of the Florida National Bank of Lee County. He married Priscilla Hobbs in 1960 and together they raised two children, Debra Lynn Mack and Connie Mack IV. Connie Mack IV was later elected to the Florida State Legislature (2000-2005) and served as a Representative in the U.S. House (2005-2013).
Mack made his first run for public office in 1982 when he won the seat of the newly created 13th District (centered around Fort Myers). He would go on to win two more terms in 1984 and 1986. Connie Mack ran for Democratic Senator Lawton Chiles' seat in 1988. In a close election, Connie Mack narrowly defeated Democratic Congressman Buddy Mackay. In 1994, he defeated Democratic candidate Hugh Rodham (brother of Hillary Clinton) to become the first Republican Senator in Florida history to be elected to a second term. Declining to run for a third term, he announced his retirement in 2000. In 2005, he was appointed by President George W. Bush to chair the President's Advisory Panel for Federal Tax Reform.
Throughout his service in both the House and Senate, Connie Mack supported the passage of legislation related to health care, financial modernization, modification of the tax code, and public housing reform. A cancer survivor, Senator Mack was a strong advocate for cancer research, early detection, and treatment. He co-founded the Senate Cancer Coalition, served as vice-chairman of the national American Cancer Society Foundation receiving the American Cancer Society's Courage Award (1992) and the National Coalition for Cancer Research's Lifetime Achievement Award (1999). He served as chairman of the Joint Economic Committee and the Senate Republican Conference. Mack also worked to reduce government debt, co-authoring the Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction law and was instrumental in the passage of the Everglades Restoration Act.

Q: Newest record when multiple found I have these project records:
---------------------------------
|id|name      |rate  |start_date|
---------------------------------
|1 |project A |90.0  |01-01-2017|
|2 |project B |100.0 |01-01-2018|
|3 |project A |95.0  |01-01-2018|
---------------------------------

I want all records, except when there are multiple records with the same name, in which case I only want the one with the most recent start_date. In the example above, I want to get records 2 and 3.
How can I do that? So far I tried with distinct, but without success.

A: Something like this might work:
Project.all.group([:name, :id]).select("id, name, max(start_date)")

But if the projects are indeed the same, you might want to rethink the design. What is the reason for the duplication of records?

A: The Query:
SELECT project.*
FROM project
LEFT JOIN project as p
ON
  p.name = project.name
  AND
  project.start_date < p.start_date
WHERE p.start_date IS NULL

HOW DOES THAT WORK! (I've been there)
You can refer to my answer here or here to understand how it works.
Wait but how to do it in rails ?!
Project.joins(%Q|
  LEFT JOIN projects as p
  ON
  p.name = projects.name
  AND
  projects.start_date < p.start_date
|).where(p: { start_date: nil })

It would be great to get email alerts from the weekly site audits so that we can easily see if any technical issues suddenly pop up.
This could be integrated to the custom preset function in Data Explorer. That could open some really interesting possibilities: automatic alerts from newly discovered broken links, redirect chains and loops, server config errors etc etc.
There is no need to export and send a whole excel sheet via mail, a simple alert message would be enough.

During our wedding planning, we're often in two camps; the traditionalists, and the not. Traditionalists are usually set on white church weddings with the standard vows, and something borrowed to boot. By comparison, contemporary brides are more likely to pave their own wedding route. They may opt to get married outside, or abroad. They may even want to write their vows or do away with the white wedding dress.
And, then there are those of us who are somewhere in the middle. Call it on the fence if you will, but there are a large number of brides who want the best of both worlds. If you can't quite let go of the white wedding dress but still want to incorporate colour, you've come to the right place. It's entirely possible to get colourful with your wedding day, while still sticking with tradition. All you need to do is be careful, and consider how best to use colour to highlight proceedings. Lucky for you, that's precisely what we're going to look at here.
Your invitations and place cards are an excellent place to start. It won't be too outlandish if you choose to make a colourful change here. While subtle, this could be all it takes to give your wedding the edge. Bright invitations are sure to catch the eye. And, a colourful card on your place settings could set the whole dining room alight. You could use colours in a traditional way by opting for blue wedding invitations which serve as a modern take on the 'something blue' saying. Or, you could go all out with a bright orange affair if it suits your theme. On the day, you can still stick with whites and creams if you prefer. But, this bright addition will be a bit of fun during the leadup.
We all want to be the blushing bride when it comes to our big day, and you can achieve just that by using your makeup to incorporate colour. Traditionally, brides kept their makeup subtle. All the better for giving across that 'innocent' image which was ever so important. In the modern age, though, there's no reason why you can't get colourful with your makeup. Again, this is a subtle addition which can have a large impact. Think, first about a bright lipstick. Bright pink would probably look best but play around with different options to see which suits. Think, too, about your blusher and eyeshadow. How better to get that 'blushing' look than to let your makeup do it for you?
If you don't fancy going all out with makeup, you could always get colourful with accessories instead. Why not get your groom some colourful cufflinks and a tie to match? As for you, there are a variety of options which would well here. You could settle for a bright bow to tie around your dress. Or, why not incorporate colourful hair accessories? Again, a bow would look fantastic here. Or, you could settle for a vivid clip which compliments the rest of your outfit. You could even step away from tradition with some colourful jewellery options. Done right, these could form the perfect accompaniment to the rest of your outfit. And, don't forget the most crucial wedding accessory of all. You could go all out with the colours in your bouquet. It doesn't get much more traditional than this baby. And, adding your own colour palette is a sure way to jazz things up a little.
If your outfit isn't an area of compromise, why not have a little fun with colour when it comes to your food and drinks? This is a fantastic way to splash the colour because there are less rigid guidelines when it comes to food and drink. For the most part, no one could get offended with your blatant flouting of food regulations! Why not incorporate colour into your wedding cake? You could either go all out or have bright splashes within the design. And, why stop there? You could even shake the champagne tradition by buying a pink champagne instead? It's a harmless bit of fun which is sure to brighten your day. One thing's sure; no one would forget a twist like that in a hurry.
As you can see, there are many fun ways to fit colour into a traditional wedding. Have a little fun and consider whether any of these would work for you.

The Moonstone
Published: 1868, reprinted by Penguin Classics (1998)
The story is set between England and India and follows the events related to a prized diamond known as the Moonstone. After a series of adventurous vicissitudes endured over the centuries, in which bad luck befalls any individual who comes into contact with the stone, this highly precious and ancient yellow diamond originally from India, arrives in England. It is given to member of a noble family, the young and resolute Rachel Verinder as a gift for her 18th birthday, and almost immediately tribulations emerge. A few hours after receiving the diamond, it disappears without a trace, and the investigations that follow and concerted attempts to recover it are all in vain. Over the course of the novel and told through the words of the various characters linked directly to the diamond, (but not necessarily to each other), the reader discovers secrets linked to the Moonstone, and the truth about its mysterious vanishing.
Following the disappearance of the priceless jewel, Sergeant Cuff, a famous detective, is tasked with finding it. His inquiries go nowhere except for causing dismay and confusion both among the members of the Verinder family and their servants. Throughout the book the reader is left equally clueless as to the identity of the thief but is drawn gradually deeper into the story. New characters, each with their own quirks and eccentricities, are introduced to speak of their connection the story, and all of whom plead their innocence yet cannot be ruled out as suspects.
Wilkie Collins' approach to telling the story through the voices of various characters creates an intriguing novel that keeps the reader's attention until the mystery is solved. At the time of writing, it was unusual to give protagonists lower in the social hierarchy any depth or distinguishing characteristics, but Collins chooses to tell the story through many intriguing characters, each describing the events related to the disappearance of the moonstone, of which they were direct witnesses. In particular there is Gabriel Betteredge, the loyal and steadfast butler of the Verinder household, a wise man with a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour and an immoderate passion for the novel, Robinson Crusoe. Likewise, Miss Clack, a poor, elderly relative of Rachel, with some unusually distinct opinions on how life should be conducted, and who causes mayhem as she stumbles through her part. The young gentleman Franklin Blake is honourable but naïve, and is confounded by Rachel with whom he is much in love, and her reactions to the disappearance of the Moonstone. Sergeant Cuff, and latterly the tragic hero Ezra Jennings both play significant roles throughout the story, each of them adding various pieces to the mystery until the final twist is revealed.
The Moonstone is a masterfully constructed thriller, with an intriguing plot, full of surprising twists and dark undertones set against the backdrop of a romantic love story, a combination which keeps the reader's attention from the first to the last page. Upon its release in 1868 it was recognised as one of Wilkie Collins' greatest masterpieces, bolstering the success of the author and even arousing the envy of Charles Dickens, a great friend and teacher to Collins. Despite its size, the novel can be read effortlessly, thanks to a flowing style and a rich variety of character and humour, creating one of the first and the finest detective stories ever written.

Your online resource for Legal Training Schools and Career Information. Legal training schools offer bachelor's degree programs in legal studies for students who will go on to pursue law school education and obtain a law degree. These courses teach communication, basics of law, business ethics, legal ethics, writing and drafting, computer proficiency, and case law research. Internships are often a part of legal training schools for students who will go on to pursue a master's in law degree later on. For those who are seeking legal training programs that are less selective or that require less education, there are also paralegal training courses and legal office administration positions to choose from. Legal training schools generally offer something for all aspects of legal education and careers, including juris doctor, paralegal, legal secretary, and pre law studies. Every one of these careers has a positive future outlook, including the highly selective lawyer career. Anyone who wants to obtain a proper legal education can do so with one of the many legal training schools that is available.
Although the definition of a paralegal changes from each law association, the understanding of a paralegal's job is essentially the same: to perform legal work under the supervision of a lawyer. Paralegals can study law, earn credentials, serve papers, prepare cases for court, and interview witnesses. Paralegal Studies and Schools If you are looking for paralegal training, it is becoming easier to find as the law continues to redefine internet, free speech and other issues. Many paralegal schools offer a variety of courses towards your paralegal training. Educational options include a two-year legal studies program to earn a bachelor degree, an associate degree with a paralegal certificate, or merely training courses on law and the courts. Working paralegals run the gamut from on-the-job training to some education, to post-baccalaureate degrees; your level of education is not as important as your understanding of the law and desire to uphold it. Working as a Paralegal As a paralegal you will work alongside lawyers in any area: criminal justice, patent law, city and state regulations, or attorney-at-law. Paralegal training will prepare you to assist any kind of lawyer, so you can choose a specialty. As a paralegal you will need considerable organization and analysis skills, as well as a good background in communication or legal studies. One way to boost your career as a paralegal, if you have not completed much paralegal training, is to earn a notary's certificate. Although not a job requirement for most paralegals, a notary public is a good person to have around when it comes to expediting legal processes. Documents can be signed and certified quickly and efficiently, without the need to call another person.
Believe it or not, you don't necessarily have to become an attorney to work in the legal profession. Law schools are certainly one path you can take, but there are numerous careers out there that don't require nearly as much training. Paralegals, legal advisers, researchers, law enforcement officials, bailiffs, corrections officers, and probation officers are all occupations within the larger legal world that don't require a three-year law degree. What Legal Schools Can Teach You Depending on the type of training that you want, legal schools can teach you any number of things. Constitutional law, forensic studies, traditional legal studies, research, academic writing, analysis, policymaking & legislation, and legal history are all fairly popular fields. And with this training, the potential career paths are quite numerous, as illustrated above. Outlook for Legal Careers Given the nature of law, it is possible to work in any number of industries ranging from business and entertainment to sports and education. And because the world of law is heavily influenced by history and precedents, this means that each and every day, the public record becomes more intricate, more complicated, and more voluminous. As such, demand for those with legal training should also go up accordingly. This is especially true now that the global economy is much more integrated. You have the option of mastering the various rules and regulations of your home state, or you can become an expert in international law as well. In short, legal schools provide you with an infinite number of opportunities, each of which should provide you with excellent employability prospects, long-term career growth, and potentially lucrative salaries down the road.

Making Ideas: Experiments in Design at GlassLab, will showcase more than 150 design prototypes created at GlassLab
Opening 19 May 2012, at The Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG), Making Ideas: Experiments in Design at GlassLab, will showcase more than 150 design prototypes created at GlassLab, a pioneering collaboration between international designers and master glassmakers from The Corning Museum of Glass. The exhibition, which emphasizes the role of designers and the process of creation using glass as a design material, will feature the glassmaking experiments of nearly 50 designers who have participated in GlassLab to date, including trend-setters in product, toy, and even fashion design.
Since 2007, the Museum's GlassLab programme has provided leading designers with unprecedented access to hot glassmaking technology and the freedom to experiment with new design concepts alongside highly-skilled glassmakers. This collaboration – made possible by the development of an innovative mobile hot glass studio that has travelled to high-profile art and design fairs, workshops, and museums in Europe and the United States – has helped to expand the frontiers for design in glass and pushed the creative boundaries of its participants, who have included the designers Atelier Oï, Yves Béhar, Constantin and Laurene Boym, the Campana Brothers, Nacho Carbonell, Matali Crasset, Sigga Heimis, Max Lamb, Tomáš Libertiny, Ted Muehling, and Massimo Vignelli, among others.

"For decades, designers have had incredibly restricted, often indirect, access to glass, and thus a very limited understanding of its properties and potential as a material for design," said Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass at the Museum. "GlassLab has been truly transformative for the field, a catalyst for innovation that has allowed designers with a variety of interests and backgrounds to work with glass in newly expressive ways. The design explorations made possible by this programme will impact how we encounter glass every day."
On view until 6 January 2013, Making Ideas will immerse visitors in the design process. Through a monumental video, drawings, and glass prototypes, they will be able to follow the progression of a GlassLab design event. First, the concept for an object emerges from the designer's sketch or idea, and then begins to take shape in molten glass. The object rapidly evolves as the designers and glassmakers experiment with the form in dialogue with one another, and the process culminates in the expression of the concept as a fully-realized object.
The large exhibition gallery, designed by Paul Haigh of HAIGH Architects + Designers, evokes the spirit of a designer's loft: a clean, open space in which to study, discover, and make. Themes explored in the exhibition range from the natural and anatomical to the poetic and whimsical, touching on nearly everything in between: dynamite from Stephen and William Ladd, spinning tops from Active People, and "pretzels" from Tobias Wong, to name just a few. An accompanying web-based app will provide additional depth and background on the process and featured designers.
To enhance the gallery experience, the Museum will host live GlassLab sessions on its Hot Glass Show stage. From 29 May until 28 August, visitors will be able to move between the exhibition and the performances to see firsthand how the programme brings new ideas to life. Featured New York designers include Harry Allen, Stephen Burks, Wendell Castle and Michele Oka Doner.
The Corning Museum of Glass will once again partner with Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum to present GlassLab this summer. From 30 June to 29 July, on New York's Governors Island, the Corning Museum's expert glassmakers will work with contemporary graphic designers included in the onsite exhibition Graphic Design – Now in Production, co-organized by Cooper-Hewitt and the Walker Art Center. A full schedule and list of participating designers will follow.
In past years, GlassLab has been presented at Design Miami (2007, 2008); Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (2008); Art Basel (2010, 2011); and the Vitra Design Museum's annual summer design workshop at the Domaine de Boisbuchet in Lessac, France (2006 – 2012). The programme was enabled by the Corning Museum's design and development of a mobile, ultralight glassblowing studio that can be deployed in almost any urban or rural location.

946 – The Amazing Story Of Adolphus Tips
Closing: 11/09/2016
Based on the Michael Morpurgo novel The Amazing Story Of Adolphus Tips, 946 is a touchingly tender, political and surprisingly romantic family show surrounding the events of the D-Day landings.
It is 1944, creeping towards the precipice of the end of the Second World War. In Slapton Sands, Devon, a quiet seaside village is suddenly, and without warning, evicted and occupied by American soldiers to clear the way for practice landings of Normandy.
Told from the perspective of a 12 year-old, who only has her cat to whisper her secrets to, 946 explodes everything we thought we knew about the landmark events, using music, puppetry and foolishness to tell a tale that promises to speak to us all.
Following critical acclaim elsewhere, Shakespeare's Globe hosts Emma Rice's triumphant Kneehigh show for families, showing in London for the first time.

Political Correctness Racial issues
New study claims Dr. Seuss and his books are racist
College Fix Staff •February 27, 2019
His work included overwhelmingly white characters, study says
Dr. Seuss is generally known as a beloved author of children's books. His works have spawned numerous spin-offs, movies and television shows. His plots have been praised as highlighting the absurdity of human nature and calling on people to be better versions of themselves.
But a study published this month claims his work is racist, and it joins a growing chorus of voices deeming the iconic author problematic.
The study is titled "The Cat is Out of the Bag: Orientalism, Anti-Blackness and White Supremacy in Dr. Seuss's Children's Books."
It is co-authored by Katie Ishizuka of the The Conscious Kid Library and Ramón Stephens, a PhD student in education at the University of California, San Diego. They describe themselves as "critical race scholar-activists."
The two interpreted the late author's works as "dehumanizing and degrading" to "Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and people from other marginalized groups (including Jewish people and Muslims)," largely because non-white characters were illustrated in stereotypical fashions, they argued.
They also claimed the books included "white savior" heroes as well as dehumanized characters of color. The study found Seuss (whose real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel) published "anti-Black and anti-Semitic cartoons" and "sexist depictions of women."
Seuss, who died in 1991 at the age of 87, also controversially showed support for the internment of Japanese citizens during World War II.
The study addresses that by noting:
Horton Hears a Who! is one of Dr. Seuss' books widely cited as promoting tolerance. Several Seuss scholars infer that the Whos symbolize the Japanese and that the book is an apology for his anti-Japanese WWII propaganda. Dartmouth professor and Seuss biographer Donald Pease calls Horton Hears A Who! 'an explicit act of recantation of the caricatures of the Japanese that he had constructed'… However, Seuss never issued an actual, explicit, or direct apology or recantation of his anti-Japanese propaganda or the calls he made to 'kill Japs!'
The study also found that Seuss's work on children's stories was problematic because he did not sufficiently represent people of color. Only 2 percent of Seuss's characters were people of color, it states, continuing:
White supremacy is seen through the centering of Whiteness and White characters, who comprise 98% (2,195 characters) of all characters. Notably, every character of color is male. Males of color are only presented in subservient, exotified, or dehumanized roles. This also remains true in their relation to White characters. Most startling is the complete invisibility and absence of women and girls of color across Seuss' entire children's book collection.
It may be only a matter of time before reading works like "The Cat in the Hat" and "The Sneetches" to children is no longer acceptable.

Thuiswerken.name | What Does Working From Home Mean?
There can be a lot of connotations when it comes to the concept of working from home. To those who don't have any experience in doing it, the arrangement can seem like simply staying in the house or apartment to work. While this is true to some extent, working from home can also mean just working out of the office. It can even be done while checking out Amsterdam Top Sightseeing locations.
The definition itself really is not as important as what the arrangement can mean in terms of the career paths that would then be available to you as well as what the conditions are going to be. You have to remember that working from home is not for everyone and this qualifier is not just about saying it, either. The situation really can be more difficult than initially imagined. "Look for the fastest internet abonnement vergelijken postcode online" or look for the fastest internet subscription to compare zipcode online so that you can get better service for your work at home.
Working from home definitely comes with a lot fewer restrictions, particularly when it comes to what you wear and how you look. In the office, you have to be presentable. At home, you can get a whole day's worth of work done in just your pajamas. You could even shop online using discounts whenever you wanted. On that note, you also get less support when you work from home since you don't have your co-workers there with you. If you start working at home, you should "be secured with zorgverzekering 18 jaar vergelijken" or be secured with health insurance 18 years of comparison.
go around Amsterdam main attractions easily without having problems managing your time for work.
Those who like working on their own will likely find working from home to suit them nicely. However, those who need social interactions will probably find the isolation troubling. This can actually be the most difficult part of working from home that few consider.

Use this ingeniously double ended brush to line, shade, contour, shadow and even add shimmer to your eyes.
This is a great brush for your eyeshadow and liner needs. Check out the Alexis Vogel DVD to see how to perfect it's use.
I purchased this brush because it's featured in Alexis's video. The brush is a lot thicker than I thought I would be. Can't really use for a well defined eye but, the angled end works for the cat-eye look.
I really fell in love with this brush, I was using it atleast 3-4 times a week. Within 6 months it broke, I figured maybe it was me but still $14.95 is alot for an eye brush for it to break in 6 months. The angled edge came off of the black part.

Nori Ogawa is very talented jazz pianist from Japan, starts his group Nori y Los Hermanos (in Spanish means Nori and his brothers) in 2007. Nori has started his group with Ludwig Nunez (ex.bamboleo: cuban popular group) so sounds oriented for cuban salsa music, but traditional latin jazz style as well.
Now Nori is traveling from Japan because of big earthquake, and is staying Mexico and Cuba for production of his new CD and DVD works.
His group Nori y Los Hermanos is a typical piano trio (piano, bass and drums) but sounds like a salsa big band orchestra, and it could be dansable with Cuban Salsa style so very agressive.
Nori has started his international career at Havana International Jazz Festival in 2009 and he made position of specialist of Cuban Jazz. Now he got popular of his concept of his music (fusion of classic music and latin music) in Havana Cuba specially. His concept of music is very well accepted in Cuban music scene so, Jorge Gomez (famous Cuban music director for 40 years in Cuba) writs recomendation like below.
Nori is like a Cuban musician, although he looks like a Chinese people (here in Cuba we call Asian as Chinese), for his piano Nori is more than one of the best of Cuban pianist.
From his last album "Primavera que Viene" with their searches in music world deeply like theme "Armando's Rumba of Chick Corea", "Mambo Influeciado of Chucho Valdes", "Maria Cervantes" and "Ballada Para Yanet", it would be difficult to follow with this letter to said of his music: this music is a fusion of timba salsa and latin jazz, but there is something better in this CD.
Now he recorded in Cuba his new art work "Hecho en CUBA" is produced with various musicians. Beyond La Comparsa of Lecuona(Cuban traditional theme), is same "Fusion" nothing less than theme of Chopin, Debussy, Mozart and Bach. I would like to say this "Fusion" is also could be said "gifted", in this point.
If you listen his disc, never imagine a Japanese pianist playing. If you see him from back side, I think like moving Cuban boy age of Jo-Jazz (Cuban youth Jazz Festival), if can not see his slit eyes (Ah, the eternal youth of Asians!). But that's Nori, as is known in Cuba ... without last name.
Hopefully next year. Something new will bring are your always friendly smile.

Authorities continue search for killer of South LA teen
City Council approves $50,000 reward

The City Council approved a pair of $50,000 rewards this week in hopes of solving two homicides, including the slaying of a 15-year-old girl who was shot as she waited with her mother outside a hamburger stand in South Los Angeles.
Hannah Bell was shot about 9 p.m. on April 27 at the Best Burger hamburger stand near 77th Street and Western Avenue and died at a hospital.
The reward was originally announced at a news conference at the crime scene on April 30 that was attended by the girl's mother.
"It was wrong to take my daughter, she was innocent," Samantha Mays said. "I just need him to come forth—the young man that has done this to my daughter. It would be best for you to just come forward; maybe it would be easier on you if you just give in and take your punishment like you deserve."
A male suspect wearing a black hoodie was last seen leaving the location on foot, southbound on Western Avenue, according to Los Angeles police, who have not determined a motive for the killing.
The second reward was offered for information in the slaying of Alberto Guerrero-Grey, 23, who was shot to death on March 29 last year around 12:50 a.m. on 107th Street, west of Lou Dillon Avenue, in the Watts neighborhood.
Both of the rewards were approved on 11-0 votes.

Player-centric designs often have player characters whose success (or very existence) is primarily for the entertainment or enrichment of players.


Does her lucrative deal with concert promoter Live Nation signal a new trend in the music business?
The Wall Street Journal adds some meat today to a story long reverberating through the music business: Madonna is close to ditching Warner Music, her record label, in favor of an extremely lucrative deal with the concert promoter Live Nation.
The deal is remarkable for bringing Madonna's live tours, her albums and any merchandising efforts under a single contract. Though the move does not involve non-traditional ways of selling albums -- per Radiohead -- it's more evidence of the power big-name artists now wield in what the Journal's Ethan Smith calls "the cratering music industry."
Terms of Madonna's deal are simply staggering. Live Nation would pay her a general advance payment of $17.5 million; additional advances of about $20 million per album for three albums; and another advance of $50 million for the right to promote her concert tours.
That's about $120 million or more -- but that's not all! Madonna would get to keep 90 percent of the gross margins on her tours; considering that her 2006 "Confessions Tour" rang in $194 million in ticket sales, we're talking a lot of cash.
In addition, after an undetermined period, Live Nation would return the rights to albums produced under the deal back to Madonna. Under her current deal with Warner Music, the record label kept control of Madonna's albums; if she signs with Live Nation, Warner will still retain those works (and Madonna owes Warner one more studio album before she makes any for Live Nation).
Live Nation, which was spun off from the radio behemoth Clear Channel in 2005, is the world's largest concert promoter. The company has been looking to expand beyond the concert business, which typically gives artists a much bigger share of revenue than does the recording business. Its gamble here involves that old biz-speak saw "synergy" -- as the Journal explains, Live Nation is betting that "it can make money by cross-promoting albums, concert tours and other merchandise."
Sure, it could work out that way for Live Nation. For Madonna, though, the payday is guaranteed.
The part of the contract dealing with album sales is particularly generous. Music industry insiders say that in order to make back its $20 million per-album advance, Live Nation would need to sell 15 million copies of each of the three records Madonna produces under the deal -- a tough thing considering that Live Nation has no experience selling records. And if album prices fall as a result of increased sales through iTunes and other downloading services, Live Nation would need to sell even more to recoup its advance.
Set against Radiohead's decision to sell its albums directly to fans -- as well as likely moves by Nine Inch Nails and Oasis to do the same -- Madonna's deal with Live Nation would seem to signal an emerging story line in the recording industry. The tale goes like this: Artists are leaving en masse, fans are finally getting some respect, and the labels, not a moment too soon, will go the way of the dodo.
There is a tendency to overplay this story line. Madonna's deal with Live Nation could be sui generis; less popular acts aren't going to get such sweetheart treatment anytime soon. And if Live Nation loses money on the contract, as it well could, Warner will look pretty smart for refusing to have matched it.
But at the least such moves have got to be giving recording artists everywhere ideas. Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Eminem, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood -- they've all got to be thinking, Is there another way? Can I get something better?
Label execs better hope they can find some way to keep the talent from walking away.

Beaufort County buildings close for 2nd time during coronavirus pandemic
dhunt@blufftontoday.com
All Beaufort County government buildings were closed to the public again Friday until further notice, with officials citing a prolonged spike in local coronavirus cases over the past month as the reason.
The closed buildings include libraries and the primary administrative building at 100 Ribaut Rd. in Beaufort. The buildings were closed after the pandemic's first widespread outbreak in March, then reopened in early June.
"County operations will continue as they had prior to reopening in June, with limited staff who will conduct internal and external business by telephone or email as much as possible," a news release on the county's website said.
All convenience centers will remain open on their normal schedules, while operations will continue at the Hilton Head Island and Beaufort County airports.
"County officials remind residents there are convenient ways to conduct business with the county during this public health crisis," the release said. "Many services by the assessor, auditor, business license, planning and zoning, treasurer, and other county offices are accessible online, by phone, fax, or through the mail.
"Also, there are bins outside of the county administration building for citizens to drop off and pick up paperwork such as business license applications, permit applications, and plans for review. The county will invoice for any associated fees for submission that normally require immediate payment. Please do not deposit cash or checks in these bins, which will be monitored and emptied daily so that all paperwork can be processed accordingly."
Town of Bluffton spokesperson Debbie Szpanka said Friday the town is still operating with a "skeleton staff" at Town Hall. She added that town manager Marc Orlando was developing a plan to reopen with a full staff, but that plan was shelved amid the recent wave of local cases.
"We have a skeleton staff. Not a full staff anytime soon," she said. "We have people in customer service, but the public can't enter. They can leave their stuff in drop-off bins. That's been in place since the beginning of the pandemic and that remains."
All other town buildings remain closed, with employees working remotely.

Q: How do I form a matrix identity? What I'm trying to accomplish here is to generate a matrix of size n x n. Whatever the matrix is, I have to fill in the number 1 from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner and 0 everywhere else.
def identity(m):
    new_identity = []
    old_identity = m
        for i in range(len(old_identity)):
            new_identity.append(old_list[1])
    return new_identity

For example, if the matrix was 3 then the expected result would be:
[[1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]]

Or to make it easier to visualize:
[[1, 0, 0],

 [0, 1, 0],

 [0, 0, 1]]

A: where n is the size of the identity to make
def identity(n):
    return [[1 if i==j else 0 for j in range(n)] for i in range(n)]

A: This one might not be the most pythonic, but it's faster than the other solution.
def identity(m):
    result = []
    for i in range(m):
        row = [0]*m
        row[i] = 1
        result.append(row)
    return result

On my machine, for a 500x500 matrix, my function takes 3.13 ms to execute, while the python list comprehension solution (that makes m² comparisons) takes 47.48 ms to complete.
Of course, you should use xrange instead of range if you're using python 2.x
