Hundreds gathered in Altadena early Saturday afternoon, June 6, to demonstrate against police brutality.
The protest, organized by My Tribe Rise, a grassroots Altadena organization that helps feed the homeless and contributes to communities across Southern California, was one of dozens scheduled to take place throughout the Southland over the weekend. The group partnered with Compassion Support Team, which coordinated logistics and support for the event.

The protests have popped up throughout Southern California and the country following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a black man in Minnesota who died after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes.
For Altadena resident Isabelle Zazuvta, who attended Saturday's demonstration, it was an important opportunity to use her voice to call for justice for Floyd — as well as for the countless other lives that have been impacted by police brutality.
"I want change," she said. "I'm tired of seeing these names we have to remember forever."
Saturday's demonstration was the fifth that Zazuvta had attended that week.
Temma Haywood, another marcher, said she looked forward to the day when such demonstrations wouldn't be necessary.
"I'm so emotional," Haywood said as she marched down Lincoln Avenue toward Charles White Park. "This is about ending racism and it starts in our homes with our children. I'm just sick of having to have a voice about this. We're all just trying to walk each other home."

Missouri School Board Defies Vocal Crowd Supporting Christmas
Editor Christmas in Schools January 25, 2009 0 Comment
Christmas has come and gone but that didn't keep it from being a point of heated contention at a recent Springfield, Missouri school board meeting.
Close to a hundred people packed into the district's meeting room, spilling out into the reception area, with the purpose of convincing the board to change the winter vacation back to Christmas vacation. Despite emotional outcries from the riled-up audience, the board voted to approve the 2009-2010 calendar without adding holidays.
"Why change something that has been so a part of American culture?" asked Chuck Booms, a local radio talk show personality, in the public comments part of the meeting. "We're offended that you've taken Christmas off the calendar."
Religious holidays, including Christmas, Easter, Passover and Yom Kippur, are listed under the district's calendar as 'Dates to Remember.' The district changed Christmas vacation to winter vacation in 1975, according to district spokeswoman Teresa Bledsoe.
Before Christmas this year, Booms began discussing it on his morning show with callers who objected to the district's calendar. He found an ally in attorney Dee Wampler, who also spoke at the meeting.
Wampler said he objected for educational reasons — not religious reasons.
"Our students are being cheated," he said. "Please restore the greatest American holiday to the calendar."
After Wampler's and Booms' comments, the crowd clapped loudly despite board president Kris Callen's request to not clap after each speaker. At the conclusion of the comments, Booms accused the board members of smiling and not taking them seriously.
"They made a big mistake by not taking us seriously," he said, after storming from the meeting room. "They can take their doctor's degrees and stick it."
Booms had received over 1,000 e-mails in support of his stance, he said.
Though she had never heard of Booms or his radio show, Charity Ingle heard about the meeting and came to show support.
Ingle, a mother of three Pittman Elementary students, said she was fed up with the schools overlooking the significance of Christmas.
"There's no reason why it can't be on the calendar," Ingle said. "They have Santa Claus come into the school but they still don't call it Christmas."
Before unanimously voting to approve the calendar, the board did make some changes — but they had nothing to do with Christmas.
They voted to move the beginning of the winter vacation to Dec. 23 — instead of Dec. 24 — and to start next school year on Aug. 25.
At the last board meeting, the district provided research that showed the adjustment would likely improve attendance.
"We have a system in place gathers input from the community," Callen said. "And they do a good job of balancing the needs and desires of the community."
The district has a calendar committee that comprises principals, teachers, students and parents.
"We approved a calendar that would best meet the educational needs of our students," said board member Andy Hosmer. "We're not making a statement."

The Tennessee Office of the Department of Safety & Homeland Security keeps meticulous records with respect to car accidents. As Nashville auto accident lawyers with an interest in educating the public about the risks of sharing the road with truckers and other drivers, we have been keeping a close eye on these crash stats. With figures last updated in September of this year, the year to date figures reveal some must-know facts.
So far, Davidson County is second among counties with 22,629 vehicle accidents exceeding $400 in damage. The number one county with the most accidents is Shelby with 24,327. The most dangerous months on the road have been May, August and September. Last year, the three most dangerous months were October, November and December. Once these stats upload for the current year, they may prove to be a continuation of the trend.
It is interesting to note that from 2013 (173,414 total reported accidents) the number of auto accidents in 2014 increased to 176,133. Thus far, in 2015, we have already seen a total number of accidents reaching 139,920. If statistics proceed to follow the regular pattern, it is likely that the numbers increase once more.

A recent article in The Des Moines Register newspaper has caused considerable controversy regarding nitrogen in Iowa streams and rivers. The article (High ammonia levels threaten D.M.'s water, April 6, 2008) featured information about "ammonia" levels in certain Iowa surface water systems during the recent winter time period. The implications were that manure and fertilizer application to cropland, and subsequent snowmelt and runoff, had resulted in higher than normal "ammonia" levels in surface waters. In the article there was a comparison of the reported levels to an ammonia reading of 0.10 parts per million considered harmful to aquatic life.

TELSTAR SOUND DRONE formed in 2007 when Hans Beck convinced Mads Saaby to join him in a project called Les Aprés L'amour Sonnes, an artist collective working with media such as sound and video. The first project was to add sound to old educational movies, playing along with the projections. With the addition of Sean Jardenbæk and Mads Løwe the project turned into a band and settled with the name TELSTAR SOUND DRONE.
The band recorded a self-titled EP that led to a show at Roskilde Festival in 2009. After that TELSTAR SOUND DRONE took a break while internal problems almost destroyed the band. At one point Hans Beck was the only member of the band playing all the instruments. The problems were solved and in February 2011 they recorded two brand new songs at the Black Tornado studio in Copenhagen with this single in mind.
TELSTAR SOUND DRONE cleverly blend shoegazer, drone and psychedelic rock and even though the noise breaks are quite breathtaking the music is always melodic making this release one of the most promising singles on Bad Afro for a long time.
The TELSTAR SOUND DRONE line-up is: Sean Jardenbæk (Vocals, Guitar), Mads Løwe (Bass), Mads Saaby (Guitar) and Hans Beck (Drums). The two last mentioned also play in Baby Woodrose.

Stocks advance as stimulus concerns fade
Buck Ennis
Stocks slipped in afternoon trading Wednesday, as the S&P pulled away from record levels.
Investors have stopped worrying about the Federal Reserve. At least for now.
Stocks rose on Wall Street Monday as investors judged that the economy still isn't growing fast enough for the central bank to cut back on its stimulus program.
U.S. manufacturing grew modestly in June after a pickup in new orders and stronger production, according to a private survey. The Institute for Supply Management said its factory index increased to 50.9 in June from 49 in the previous month.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index logged its first monthly decline since October last month after investors were unsettled by comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Mr. Bernanke said June 19 that the Fed could ease back on its stimulus this year and end it next year, providing the economy continues to recover.
"The market has maybe stepped back from the knee-jerk reaction that the Fed news provided," said Jim Russell, a regional investment director at US Bank. "The manufacturing ISM number came in strong enough—not too hot, not too cold."
If the manufacturing report had been stronger, Russell said, stocks might have fallen as investors speculated that the Fed would be inclined to ease back on its stimulus sooner.
A separate report on construction spending added to the picture of a gradually improving economy. Construction spending rose 0.5% in May compared with April when spending was up 0.1%, the Commerce Department said Monday.
The central bank is currently buying $85 billion of bonds a month to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and spending. That stimulus has been a major factor supporting a rally in stocks this year. Despite last month's loss, the S&P 500 is still up 13.7% this year.
The Dow Jones gained 51 points, or 0.3%, to 14,960 as of 3:52 p.m. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose nine points, or 0.5%, to 1,615. The Nasdaq composite gained 28 points, or 0.8%, to 3,431.
Stocks may have also gotten a lift as it was the first trading day of the quarter.
The S&P 500 index is more than twice as likely to gain as decline on the first trading day of a new quarter, according to data from S&P Dow Jones Indices. The index has risen 27 times and fallen 13 times during the past 10 years on the first trading day of the quarter.
Nine of the 10 industry groups that make up the S&P 500 index rose, led by materials companies, a category that includes miners and chemical makers. Utilities companies were the only ones to decline.
This week's most keenly watched economic release will be the government's monthly employment report Friday. Economists expect the U.S. added 165,000 jobs in June, a figure that would affirm the economy's steady, but slow, trajectory, said Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors.
"It's a confirmation of more of the same," said Mr. Wren. "More modest growth, more modest inflation, but not a big acceleration."
In Europe, stock indexes rose after a mixed set of economic indicators for the region. While unemployment in the 17 countries that use the euro rose to another record high in May, manufacturing picked up in Britain, France and Italy and stabilized in Spain.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was unchanged from Friday at 2.49%. The note's yield surged to 2.66% last Monday as investors worried that the Fed was poised to reduce on its bond purchases. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is used to set interest rates on many kinds of loans including home mortgages.
In commodities trading, the price of oil climbed $1.22, or 1.3%, to $97.84 a barrel. The price of oil rose on concerns that unrest in Egypt, the largest Arab nation, could spread and affect the transport of oil supplies in the Middle East and Africa.
Gold rose $32, or 2.6%, to $1,255.70 an ounce.
Trading will be curtailed this week due to the Independence Day holiday Thursday. The New York Stock Exchange will close at 1 p.m. on Wednesday and reopen on Friday.
The dollar edged lower against the euro and rose against the Japanese yen.

The Trump Administration Shut a Vaccine Safety Office Last Year. What's the Plan Now?

As the first coronavirus vaccines arrive in the coming year, government researchers will face a monumental challenge: monitoring the health of hundreds of millions of Americans to ensure the vaccines don't cause harm.
Purely by chance, thousands of vaccinated people will have heart attacks, strokes and other illnesses shortly after the injections. Sorting out whether the vaccines had anything to do with their ailments will be a thorny problem, requiring a vast, coordinated effort by state and federal agencies, hospitals, drug makers and insurers to discern patterns in a flood of data. Findings will need to be clearly communicated to a distrustful public swamped with disinformation.
For now, Operation Warp Speed, created by the Trump administration to spearhead development of coronavirus vaccines and treatments, is focused on getting vaccines through clinical trials in record time and manufacturing them quickly.
The next job will be to monitor the safety of vaccines once they're in widespread use. But the administration last year quietly disbanded the office with the expertise for exactly this job, merging it into an office focused on infectious diseases. Its elimination has left that long-term safety effort for coronavirus vaccines fragmented among federal agencies, with no central leadership, experts say.
"We're behind the eight ball," said Daniel Salmon, who served as the director of vaccine safety in that office from 2007 to 2012, overseeing coordination during the H1N1 flu pandemic in 2009. "We don't even know who's in charge."
An H.H.S. spokesperson said that the vaccine office was not shuttered. "The office was not 'closed,' but was merged with the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy and was strengthened," the spokesperson said in a statement. "All the functions continue in this new organizational structure."
In a brief statement, a different spokesperson said that Operation Warp Speed was working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "to synchronize the IT systems" involved in monitoring vaccine safety data.
Scientists at the C.D.C. and the Food and Drug Administration have decades of experience tracking the long-term safety of vaccines. They've created powerful computer programs that can analyze large databases.
"It's like satellites looking at the weather," said Dr. Bruce Gellin, the president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, who headed the National Vaccine Program Office from 2002 to 2017.
But monitoring hundreds of millions of Americans who may get different coronavirus vaccines from a variety of drug makers by summer is like tracking a major storm beyond anything researchers have dealt with before.
Coronavirus Vaccine Tracker
A look at all the vaccines that have reached trials in humans.
The closest parallel was in the spring of 2009, when a new strain of H1N1 influenza emerged, and researchers raced to make a vaccine. From October 2009 to January 2010, it was administered to over 82 million people in the United States.
As the vaccine was developed, Dr. Gellin and other federal officials and scientists organized a system to monitor the population for severe side effects and to promptly share results with the public. Eleven years later, it looks like the lessons of 2009 are being forgotten, experts say.
"We got all these different agencies together, we created governance around it, we created a regular monitoring plan, as well as a public communication plan," said Dr. Jesse Goodman, the F.D.A.'s chief scientist during the H1N1 pandemic. "I think that something very much like that is even more needed now. And, you know, we haven't yet seen that emerge."
In the 1970s, the U.S. government set up large-scale programs to monitor vaccine safety. There was a system for parents to report symptoms their children experienced after getting a vaccine. It may get 50,000 reports from parents, doctors, hospitals and vaccine makers in a typical year. But the tool has limits: People may not report symptoms that should be investigated, or may see a connection to a vaccination where none exists.
"People are vaccinated one day, and the next day they have some bad medical event, and then they scratch their head and say, 'Well, you know, I was fine until this happened,'" Dr. Gellin said.

In 1990, the C.D.C. set up a new way to track vaccines that didn't depend on people coming forward. The agency worked with health care organizations to get updates on people's medical conditions. That system now covers 12 million people. Researchers can use it to look for clusters of symptoms that arise in people who get the same vaccine.
When the H1N1 flu hit in 2009, Dr. Salmon recognized that these methods didn't track enough people to quickly pick up rare symptoms. He reached out to researchers at Harvard to build a new system, which came to be known as PRISM. Ten states supplied vaccination records, and five health insurance companies shared anonymous information about 38 million members. PRISM then connected the two databases to track insurance claims in the wake of vaccination. "That really gave us a ton of data," Dr. Salmon said.
The researchers could come up with a background rate of a host of medical conditions. If the H1N1 vaccine was linked to cases that matched the background rate, they could dismiss the symptoms as ordinary. Only if they rose above the background rate would they be considered unusual and warrant a closer look.
Scientists from various federal agencies gathered every two weeks to share data and look for worrying clusters of symptoms. Every month, outside experts reviewed the evidence and released public reports. "Vaccine programs are contingent on trust," Dr. Gellin said, "and transparency is a huge element of that."
The vast majority of reports turned out to have nothing to do with the new vaccines. Just a handful of medical conditions required an intensive review. The researchers noticed that some vaccinated people developed a facial weakness called Bell's palsy, for example, but within two weeks they ruled out vaccines as the cause.
In the following years, as emerging viruses caused outbreaks of Ebola, MERS and other diseases, experts called for more preparations for the next pandemic. In 2016, President Barack Obama set up a global health security office at the National Security Council. But in 2018, the Trump administration disbanded that office, saying it was streamlining bureaucratic bloat.
The next year, the National Vaccine Program Office met a similar fate. Alex M. Azar II, the secretary of health and human services, said in a letter to Senator Patty Murray, the ranking member of a health subcommittee, that the merger, as part of a broader department reorganization, would "increase operational efficiencies by eliminating program redundancies and decreasing program costs."

The Trump Administration last year shut down an office focused on the long-term safety of vaccines. Experts say plans to track coronavirus vaccines are fragmented and "behind the eight ball."
The offices were merged "after a study by career staff who recommended to the Assistant Secretary for Health that this was the best way to improve the function of both offices by creating synergies and eliminating stovepipes," said Admiral Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health, in a brief statement.
"I wholeheartedly concurred with this recommendation because strengthening vaccine effectiveness and confidence and ending the H.I.V. epidemic are two of my most critical priorities. Anyone who is suggesting that we closed this office has no clue what they're talking about."
But Dr. Nicole Lurie, who was assistant secretary for preparedness and response at H.H.S. during the 2009 pandemic, said the loss of the vaccine safety office was especially costly once the coronavirus pandemic hit. "The coordinated leadership for stuff like this would likely come from the National Vaccine Program Office," she said.
Dr. Lurie, now an adviser at the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation, has been waiting along with other researchers, month after month, for coordinated leadership to emerge from the federal government on long-term vaccine safety. "There are a whole bunch of people who were really concerned about this," she said.
An F.D.A. official who declined to be identified said that in the absence of the National Vaccine Program Office, F.D.A. and C.D.C. staff members were relying on relationships they had built across the agencies, meeting regularly to discuss their separate projects.
That leaderless effort concerns Dr. Lurie. "There's no sort of active coordination to bring all the information together," she said.
On Thursday, an expert from the C.D.C. and another from the F.D.A. gave presentations about monitoring systems at a meeting of the F.D.A.'s vaccine advisory committee. One system will use smartphone apps to stay in touch with health and other essential workers after their vaccinations. Another will look at a database of electronic health records and insurance claims, and yet another will use Centers for Medicare & Medicaid data to track people over 65.
Although each system may reveal important clues, they have limits that worry outside experts. Dr. Steven Black, the co-director of the Global Vaccine Data Network, observed that the Medicare system only registers billing information, resulting in a time lag. "The patient has to get into the hospital, leave the hospital and a bill needs to be sent," he said.
The other systems can provide safety information much faster, but they're small compared with the PRISM system, which now covers about 60 million people. The F.D.A. still uses PRISM for drug safety research, but not for vaccines. Dr. Salmon is baffled that the agency hasn't tapped into it again. "Why would you not use that?" he asked. (An agency spokeswoman said it might use PRISM in the future should the need arise.)

The F.D.A. official said the agencies were still building lists of symptoms they plan to track closely. The C.D.C.'s list includes conditions like strokes and seizures. But it is also including entirely new conditions the coronavirus causes, like Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, which affects many organs at once.
The agencies are searching the scientific literature to estimate the background rates of these outcomes. But Dr. Salmon warned that lockdowns and other disruptions have made some conditions more common and others less so. Comparing the health of vaccinated people with that of people from before the pandemic may set off false alarms.
Dr. Salmon and other researchers are concerned that no overarching plan for communicating findings to the public has emerged. The F.D.A. official said the agency would post its updates on its website. A C.D.C. committee will get safety data from the agencies and discuss the results at public meetings.
But that may fall short of what's needed to foster public confidence. A poll conducted earlier this month by Stat and The Harris Poll found that 58 percent of Americans said they would get vaccinated as soon as a vaccine was available, down from 69 percent in August.
The explosion of disinformation on social media will make clear communication vital. "I think that preparing for Russian disinformation campaigns should be part of preparing for the rollout of a Covid vaccine," said Steven Wilson, a political scientist at Brandeis University.
Dr. Grace Lee, a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine and a member of the C.D.C. committee, agreed that such preparations were urgent, but said they were beyond the committee's scope: "A national communication strategy and plan is much needed."


Last night Jackpotjoy Bingo had a major problem with their site as it crashed completely with no warning.
Their players had reported a number of difficulties with the site prior to the crash with games not loading properly, continuously getting booted and not being able to purchase tickets to name just a few. Then all of a sudden they were gone – bang, their virtual wares were no more!
When you tired to log onto Jackpotjoy Bingo after the site had gone down, it came up with this message.
To make sure we are always offering you the best gaming experience, we're constantly innovating which means sometimes we need to close the site. So whilst we are working away, why not enjoy a game of bejeweled on us.
Simply click on the (check now) button to refresh the page and find out when we are back online. We will see you soon.
When we clicked the check now button nothing at all happened, so they basically gave you no indication whatsoever as to when they would be back on – a fat lot of good that was, not.
The bejeweled game, which was free to play did help to pass the time away, but not much good if you wanted to play for real cash.
Cutting to the chase, they had technical difficulties with their site – no more, no less. A lot of online gaming sites do suffer from such technical hitches from time to time; it is part and parcel really of the industry, as you just never know when a server is going to play up which is out of everyone's control.
Technical difficulties like this can be extremely annoying for players and to add insult to injury the Jackpotjoy Bingo hosts did not handle the situation very well when their site came back online and subsequently crashed again. We see players in chat swearing, making sexual innuendos, mentioning other sites and being downright rude – all of which is prohibited in chat rooms.
On a brighter note, JackpotJoy Bingo are up and running fully functional today, let's just hope they stay that way :).

Actually, the spiders take out fluid from the glands of their stomach that gets converted into solid. The silk of this trap is so light that it can swing flying far away even with a light breeze. Even so, it swells in the air even from the heat coming out of the earth. With the help of being sticky, it sticks to the twigs of the tree.
Conclusion: It is able to do this with the help of air. Why does spider not be trapped in its own web? You will know, how difficult it is to remove it after adhering to a spider web. Small insects are easily trapped in the spider's web but the spider itself is never trapped. Actually, the entire web of the spider is not sticky. The spider is very clever, it makes some part sticky and where it is supposed to sit, the piece wears it without the sticky footprint. So it can be

Francis Boyle is professor of law at the University of Illinois. His books include Tackling America's Toughest Questions.
He has been advocating that the Democrats embrace expanding the court for years. Boyle told the Guardian in 2018: "I think [Brett] Kavanaugh was put on there [the US Supreme Court] to ensure Roe is overturned. … He has used the Roberts dodge of saying it is settled law. So what? The supreme court can unsettle it tomorrow. He did not say it was decided correctly."
Boyle said: "The Federalist Society, with its complete distortion of the Constitution and phony concept of 'Originalism,' has been packing the courts since the Reagan administration. The Democratic Party should embrace counterpacking the courts.
"But the Democratic Party is only going to be moved by sustained, massive protests.
"The Federalist Society is ultimately going to target much of FDR's New Deal and the Warren Court precedents including even Brown v. Board of Education. Also, freedom of the press — they will seek to overturn New York Times v. Sullivan protecting America's Fourth Estate.
"Contrary to what many claim, FDR's plan to expand the Supreme Court was a great success. The court got the message and began to uphold his New Deal legislation after previously striking it down, which prompted his scheme in the first place. So he did not have to pack the court. But these Federalist Society members are so hard core, it will be needed now. [Boyle is a longtime critic of the Federalist Society, see "Hijacking Justice" from 1999 in Emerge magazine.]
"Eliminating life tenure would require a Constitutional amendment, which is a non-starter to begin with and even a waste of time, efforts and money to try. Counterpacking is the best way to deal with this."

Survivors of America's Oldest Armed Conflict
After an indecisive referendum, the future for Colombian peace remains unclear—yet this project focuses on the individuals who have endured decades of violence, reminding us of the human scale in this endless war.
Photographs and text by Charlie Cordero
This photographic essay is about the survivors of the South American continent's oldest armed conflict—Colombia's civil war. These individuals, despite the unbearable pain of war, are still bravely able to share their stories of uprooting, abandonment and hope.
Hearing them tell of loss, displacement and torture is powerful—even more so today. After all, the country has at last begun to listen to this war's victims; a timid peace has appeared and shimmered just out of reach. Attention is even being given to sorting out formal relations between the government and the long-time rebels. Though an agreement is not yet formalized, the decades-long story finally seems closer to an end.
But a peace treaty won't erase everything that has happened. While some places have carried on for decades, blissfully unaware, others have been ravaged. El Carmen de Bolivar is one of the most brutally affected areas of the country. This zone stretches all the way to Colosó, Sucre in the north. In Colosó, there are no visible traces of that bitter era—but as in the rest of the country, the effect lies beneath the surface.
These images are my testimony and homage to the 50 years of grinding, terrifying conflict experienced by a group of Colombians.

Sinfonietta VivazzA, named after Rossinis restless and adventuresome Father, is a ensemble (flute, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, violoncello, contrabass, harp) that made up of passionate musicians who present high quality concerts for a diverse public.
The motto of VivazzA is that "Chamber Music should be performed for the enjoyment of everyone". To be able to achieve this goal, VivazzA, presents concert programs in flexible formations as well as collaborates with other art genres, such as theater, opera, dance and film.
With their innovate programs, VivazzA has performed for delighted audiences in such concerts as the "Summer Concert Series" of the Ludwigs-Maximilian-University of Munich, the chamber music hall of the Beethovenhaus in Bonn, and the Museum of Arts and Crafts/Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. In 2015, VivazzA also performed in the Deutschlandfunk radio production "Als Friede ein Fremdwort war/When the word peace was an alien word" honoring the end of the second world war.
VivazzA is composed of international musicians, who have obtained a world-wide musical education (music conservatories in Düsseldorf, Essen and Köln, music conservatory of Bern, DePaul University of Chicago, University of Minnesota, Manhattan School of Music, Conservatoire National de Toulon-France) and bring a well-rounded performance experience to the table. As well as their solistic activities, members of Sinfonietta VivazzA have performed with such renowned orchestras as the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchester, Pacific Music Festival Orchestra (Sapporo, Japan), St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (Minnesota, USA), and the Philharmonie Essen. VivazzA members have also performed in chamber music ensembles with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and West German Radio Orchestra (WDR Sinfonieorchester).


My research interests are in early modern print culture, particularly cheap print. My initial research into prose murder pamphlets of the period is developing to encompass prison literature: writing from and about the early modern prison, with a concentration on the depiction of penitence. I am currently working on two projects based in Shakespeare's plays: one is on the significance of kneeling and supplication, and the other is the development of a modern liturgy based on A Midsummer Night's Dream.
I have an abiding interest in lifelong learning and am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK. I have also been honoured to receive several University awards, including 'Most Acclaimed Lecturer in the Humanities' (Oxford University Student Union, 2013), a Teaching Excellence Award (Oxford University, 2015), and 'Outstanding Pastoral Support' (Oxford University Student Union, 2016).
I am Tutor for Admissions for English and allied Joint Schools and Joint Director of Studies for BA (Hons) in Classics and English, and I direct the Visiting Student Programme, organising and co-ordinating academic programmes for students from North America and Europe who come to Oxford for one, two or three terms. I am fully committed to showing people from all sorts of backgrounds and with all levels of experience that studying at Oxford may be within their reach and am involved in Access and Outreach activities at Regent's and in the wider University.
I teach Early Modern literature (1550-1760) to undergraduates in English Language and Literature, Classics and English, and History and English, and some part-time students studying at Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education. I am co-convenor for MSt in Women's Studies and teach and supervise postgraduates on this interdisciplinary Masters, running an option course on 'Early "Feminisms"'. I am also a tutor on the part-time, interdisciplinary MSt in Literature and Arts, run by the Department of Continuing Education.


The basis of the HP – KOVO production program is the production of universal and special welded structures: prototypes, pallets, horizontal, vertical and oblique registers and other steel structures. We manufacture all components in accordance with the strictest qualitative requirements. Many components (such as carriers, column bodies, stoppers, etc. in the production of registers) are manufactured in our own laser centre, which operates with preciseness of tenths of millimetre.
We emphasize the fulfilment of the requirements of the quality management system and meeting the requirements of the customers, both in terms of meeting delivery deadlines and of the quality of the production. To meet these goals, we use modern methods of production planning and management, as well as several-stage management of inspection activities.

The Invisible Man must have been a frustrating screen debut — discounting his small role in the silent British drama Build Thy House in 1920 — for Claude Rains. Although he'd bagged the title role, he's only seen on screen for a few seconds at the end of the movie. At least his rich, distinctive voice is easily identifiable, and thus avoids any confusion about who's talking when he's speaks his lines. The Invisible Man came more or less slap bang in the middle of the first talking picture horror boom, which started in 1931 with Dracula and Frankenstein. Like both of those movies, this one was made by Universal Studios, who threw themselves into the genre with much more enthusiasm than the other major studios, and so the production values on this movie are pleasingly high.
Rains plays Jack Griffin, who appears at a British pub one dark and stormy night with his head swathed in bandages and his eyes hidden behind dark glasses. He also wears gloves to hide his hands. Griffin is a scientist who has committed the most fundamental of errors: he's used himself as a guinea pig in an experiment to make himself invisible before he's developed the antidote for the effects of that experiment he has succeeded in making himself invisible before he figured out how to return to his normal state. What a bozo. Needless to say, Griffin's not in the best of moods when he arrives at the inn, and requests a room where he won't be disturbed. He's come to the countryside to find some peace and solitude in which to carry on his research, but of course he didn't allow for the fact that there's not a lot goes on in sleepy British villages, and so his visit — and bizarre appearance — quickly pique the curiosity of the locals.
So, the countryside turns out to be the worst place he could have chosen, and his funds run out before he has found the antidote. When the landlord and his shrewish wife (Una O'Connor, giving one of the shrillest performances of her career) cotton on to the fact that he's penniless they demand he move out immediately, prompting Griffin, in a furious outburst, to remove his clothes and cause havoc through the village in his invisible state.
It's impossible for anyone to just disappear — literally or figuratively — without those they leave behind becoming a little curious, and while Griffin is leading the villagers in his new home a merry dance, his former colleagues are piecing together the nature of his work, which he kept closely guarded from them. In a cupboard Griffin used to keep locked, his boss Dr. Cranley (Henry Travers), who also happens to be the father of Griffin's sweetheart, Flora (Gloria Stuart), finds a list of chemicals, one of which is a dangerous bleaching agent called monocaine, which can slowly drive its users insane. Cranley relays this information to his colleague Dr. Kemp (William Harrigan), who has wasted no time in attempting to replace Griffin in Gloria's affections, so when Kemp hears a radio report that night about a case of mass hysteria in a village where the residents claim to have seen — or not seen, if you know what I mean — an invisible man he has a pretty good idea who is causing all that havoc.
At just 71 minutes long, The Invisible Man wastes no time diving into the plot and chugs along at a fair old nip. The repeated switch from horror-thriller to comedy and back again gets a little wearing after a while, but there are plenty of good things to distract us, including tight direction from James Whale, who also directed the horror classics Frankenstein (1931) and The Old, Dark House (1932). The story takes place in a quaint Hollywood image of England, complete with rotund police constables sporting heavy moustaches, which the English-born Whale must surely have known was as far removed from the real England as an Arab with a camel.
Considering the age of The Invisible Man, the special effects are incredibly good, with plenty of shots of objects floating around in mid-air with no visible means of support, including shirts and trousers worn by the invisible Griffin. These effects might not look like anything out of the ordinary by today's standards but back in 1933 they must have blown contemporary audiences away.

Q: MethodNotAllowedHttpException : Calling POST method using Ajax Laravel I am trying to make an ajax call to a Laravel post method. But I get MethodNotAllowedHttpException. One of the possible issue can be mismatch of request type in ajax call and routes controller but that is not the case.
Using Postman, I can confirm that the Post route is working fine. That leaves me an option to focus on AJAX call.
Issue # 1
routes.php
Route::post('/test', 'HomePageController@test');

custom.js
$.ajaxSetup({
        headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
        }
 });

and then,
$('#teacher-save-submit').click(function(){

  var fname = $('#first_name').val();
  var lname = $('#last_name').val();
  var email = $('#email').val();
  var passkey = $('#passkey').val();

  $.ajax(function(){
    type:"POST",
    url:"/test",
    dataType: "json",
    success:function(data){
      console.log("success");
      $('#sbt-result').html(data);
     }
   });
});

#Issue # 2
In console, it shows Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : at url:"/test"
It would be awesome If you people can share your experiences.
Thanks.
EDIT
This is what specific error I get. I think that is searching for some GET methods not Posts

A: Change
Route::post('test', 'HomePageController@test');

js:
url:"{{url('test')}}",

and prevent the default click event
  $('#teacher-save-submit').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    //ajax call

A: Maybe you have forgotten put the "meta" tag:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}" />

Start these rich, buttery rolls the night before you plan to serve them.
Sift together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1 cup butter until mixture resembles oatmeal flakes. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add egg and milk. Blend with dry ingredients. Refrigerate overnight. Divide dough in halves; roll each half into a large rectangle. Spread with soft butter and sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon. (If desired, spread with your favorite jam or jelly, and chopped nuts.) Roll up each rectangle and slice into 12 rolls. Let rolls rise about 1 hour in greased 9x12-inch baking pan. Just before rising time is up, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until nicely browned, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and spread with White Icing.


April are a five member girl group that debuted under DSP Media in 2015. The members are: Chaewoon, Hyunjoo, Naeun, Yena and Jinsol. Former member Somin debuted with the group, but left a few months after in order to focus on her studies.
Chaewoon and Somin were actually finalists in the 2014 competition reality programme 'Kara Project'. Of course, they lost out on the final position of new Kara member to Heo Youngji. Somin finished in second place and Chaewoon in fourth.
Early last year, DSP Media announced that they would be debuting a girl group that would be the next generation of Fin.K.L and Kara. However, it wasn't until the following July that photos of each member were gradually released.
So far, the group have released one EP entitled 'Dreaming' as well as a two very short special albums entitled 'Boing Boing' and 'Snowman'. They have three MVs so far.
The girls have also made quite a few television appearances even despite the short time since their debut. They have had two of their own shows – 'APRIL's on AIR PRIL' and 'Here Goes April', they have featured as regular guests on the show 'Baek Jong Won's 3 Top Chefs' and have also appeared on an episode of 'Weekly Idol'. Somin featured in Epik High's MV for 'Born Hater' and Naeun appeared in GOT7's 'Stop Stop It' MV.
Interestingly, the group's logo and mascot were chosen through open design competitions. Their mascot is a potato-type figure with a heart-shaped smiley face (I am not making this up, I promise!) Their fan club is called 'Fineapple'.
April's main concept is very girly, sweet and innocent. It is clear that they have taken influence from previous K-Pop girl groups like Fin.KL (as originally intended) and S.E.S. These first generation girl groups had a 'fairy' type concept and it seems that this style is enjoying a kind of resurgence on the K-Pop scene lately. April sport natural hair colours and feminine, conservative outfits that often involve white colours – synonymous with innocence and purity.
The girls won the award for 'Female Rookie of the Year' at the Korean Entertainment Art Awards 2016 and it seems that they have enjoyed quite a lot of success so far.

CES 2012 Las Vegas - There Will Be No Tablet Show For This Year?
CES 2012 Las Vegas – No Tablet Show For This Year?
In a few hours from now, the biggest and most extravagant annual tech showcase which is popularly known as the Consumer Electronics Show 2012 (CES 2012) will soon open its gate live at Las Vegas to give us the latest and newest innovations from different known tech companies. We will soon see what to expect from these big companies' engineers when they showcase their latest products. Tradition proves that every year, tech companies such as Samsung, Microsoft, Nokia, Sony, Google and many more are there flaunting their latest designs, innovations, gadgets, applications and many more – it's more like a big school science fair. From home entertainment from the likes of Sony, Samsung and Panasonic, gadgets like new mobile phones, innovations and enhancements for the likes of Gorilla Glass OLED, Smart TVs, gaming consoles like what the rumor says – Wii U from Nintendo, Microsoft's Xbox 720, and Sony's PlayStation 4, and many more to delight your eyes.
Unfortunately, "less interest" is more likely to expect from the tablet industry. No one is really certain if there's anything or something new will come out this year. If you recall last year, there had been great expectations from Google's Honeycomb tablet but it only sold a few million before the end of 2011. One big disappointment was the Blackberry RIM's Playbook – which was considered as one expensive flop of RIM. It looks like that if we talk of tablet only Apple retained its status as the largest earner of them all with their iPad sales.
The only expectation now for possible for tablets is Google's ICS or Ice Cream Sandwich which is the 4th Android iteration. However, we still have no clue which tablet will be using ICS for the showcase.
One thing is certain, major players are going into "ultrabooks". We'll be seeing competing companies like Sony and Lenovo against Apple's MAcBook Air.
Let us all wait and see what happens tonight at Las Vegas, USA for the next CES 2012.

Життєпис
Народився 25 березня 1907 року в місті Києві (за іншими даними — в селі Боярці Лисянського району Черкаської області). Українець.

Здобув неповну середню освіту. Працював шахтарем у місті Антрациті, нині Луганської області. З 1929 по 1932 роки проходив дійсну строкову військову службу в лавах РСЧА. Вдруге призваний до лав РСЧА у 1941 році Боково-Антрацитівським РВК Ворошиловградської області.
