Names Emerge In Bucks' Coaching Search
May 3rd 2018 at 8:41am CST by Arthur Hill
A few early candidates have been identified as the Bucks begin their search for a new head coach, tweets ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
He names five former head coaches — Steve Clifford, Mike Budenholzer, Monty Williams, David Fizdale and David Blatt — that Milwaukee would like to interview, adding that a few more could be in the mix.
Because they made the playoffs, the Bucks got a late start in their pursuit of a new coach and are facing competition for several names on the list. Fizdale, considered one of the finalists for the Knicks' job, has an interview scheduled with the Magic this week. He has also interviewed with the the Hornets and Hawks, as well as the Suns, who will fill their vacancy with Igor Kokoskov.
Budenholzer, who recently parted ways with the Hawks, is also believed to be a Knicks finalist, along with Blatt, who coached the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2015. Budenholzer inteviewed for the Suns' job, as did Clifford, who was fired as head coach of the Hornets after the season ended. Williams, a former head coach with the Pelicans, serves as VP of basketball operations for the Spurs.
The Bucks may be the most desirable destination for potential coaches, boasting a playoff-caliber roster that includes MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo. Interim coach Joe Prunty, who led the team to a 21-16 record after taking over for Jason Kidd at midseason, will get consideration, but the franchise may be hoping to attract a bigger name to make a splash as it moves into a new arena this fall.

Christmas, 1975. Mother Maria writes a letter to a friend, musing on her own particular situation and the difficulties of getting her Monastery repaired. (That Christmas was icily cold, and Mother Maria and two others, and a cat named Nimmy, moved into the Monastery although it lacked doors and some windows.) What she says of her situation though expands to include all our situations.
We are wondering why ever more difficulties pursue us to the limit of endurance, and any new ones brace us up to a feeling that they come to destroy, and if we do not give them reality, but march through them, they cannot harm us. It is not a fairy tale that the are evil forces. Only we refuse to 'attend' to them, but I am crying out for help for us all; or, at least, for that which is meant to be; and that it should be achieved. Next year Chapel will live–all ready for Easter. Till April it will not be easy, but possible–till we have the whole house. It will no more be an inhuman situation. It is dark so soon, and so very dark. Not a sound. I am wondering and wondering. Where are we going?
Wow. You weren't kidding about her writing. On a lighter note, I could say the same thing she said about phd prospects.

Haunted Colleges and Universities
Humor Paranormal & Ghosts
by Stephen Wagner
South Bend, Indiana. University of Notre Dame
Many schools of higher learning around the world are sites of ghostly activity. Here are some of the most haunted colleges and universities.
If you've heard the phrase "Win one for the Gipper," this is a reference to George Gipp, a legendary Notre Dame football player. It's his ghost that is thought to haunt Washington Hall on the university campus. Gipp died of streptococcal throat infection in December, 1920 as the result of a cold he contracted while sleeping overnight on the steps of the building, which was a student residence. It was shortly thereafter that students began experiencing haunting activity, including:
unexplained music late at night
phantom footsteps
slamming doors
students shoved on the stairway by unseen hands
something unknown walking around on the roof.
Although no one can say for sure whether it's the ghost of George Gipp or not, some say they have seen his spirit hovering near students and occasionally giving them an encouraging pat on the back.
It is also claimed that ghosts of the Native American Patawatami tribe haunt Columbus Hall since it might have been build over one of their ancient burial grounds. Patawatami warriors on horseback have allegedly been seen moving up and down on the front steps of the hall.
State College, Pennsylvania Penn State University. Penn State University
Several buildings on the campus of Penn State University are said to be haunted. The most well-known, perhaps, is the spectre of Pattee Library. According to the story, in November, 1969 a graduate student by the name of Betsy Aardsma was in the library doing research for one of her classes when she was stabbed to death between the shelves of books. The assailant was never found, which may be the reason that Betsy's ghost still wanders the aisles of the library in the dark of night. One student's story is that one night after searching for a book in the very aisle that Betsy was murdered that she was strangled by unseen hands in his dorm room.
Another ghoul said to haunt the campus is a gruesome spirit wielding an axe that usually appears around Halloween time.
Schwab Auditorium has two ghosts:
The ghost of a former president of the school, which is reputed to be rather friendly.
A rather noisy ghost rumbles around in the attic, pushing around chairs and other stored items; they say it's most noisy during exams. After one professor had to stop a test because of the racket, he ventured into the attic with a couple of football players to confront the pranksters. They found nothing except fresh scrape marks on the floor.
Across the street from the auditorium is the Botany building, built in 1909. The ghost here is the plant-loving life of the former president (the one who haunts the auditorium). This spirit shows her displeasure when the building's plants are not properly cared for. She'll dump garbage from the trash cans onto the middle of the floor, unplug computer printers, and flick lights off and on.
Harrogate, Tennessee Lincoln Memorial University. Lincoln Memorial University
Brief history: Legend has it that during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln remarked to General O. O. Howard, a Union officer, that Howard would one day establish a great univerisity for this vacinity. The school began humbly with an elementary school in 1890, but soon after General Howard began work to create the university, which was chartered on February 12, 1897 -- Lincoln's birthday.
Ghosts: According to Ghosts and Spirits of Tennessee, the most haunted building on campus is Grant-Lee Hall, which was originally built as part of a hotel, but later adopted by the school as a dormitory. The building was twice ravaged by fire. The fire in 1904 claimed the life of a woman and her child on the building's fourth floor. It was said she was wearing a red dress at the times. Her ghost has been reported on a number of occasions, including the building's second fire in 1950 when she was seen screaming for help from a fourth-floor window.
Today, residents claim to hear phantom footsteps on the stairs, knocks on doors, doorknobs turning, and even the apparition of a lady in red wandering the hallways.

Smith College - Sessions House
Northampton, Massachusetts Smith College - Sessions House. Smith College
Brief history: Sessions House is the oldest building on the Smith College campus. It was built in 1710 by Captain Jonathan Hunt and includes a secret passageway that was used to hide from Native Americans during the colonial era. The building now serves as a dormitory for the college.
Ghosts: A pair of ghostly lovers may haunt Sessions House. They are thought to be the spirits of Lucy Hunt (Captain Jonathan Hunt's granddaughter) and Johnny Burgoyne, a British General who was held captive in the house during the Revolutionary War. It is said that the two young people fell in love and would meet secretly in the hidden passageway. Their affair ended when Burgoyne was sent back to England; he promised to return to Lucy, but never did. Their spirits, it is said, have been seen and heard in the building, searching for one another.
Two other tales include the ghost of a woman who allegedly killed her children with an axe, mistakenly, thinking they were intruders; and the spirits of two female students who fell while searching for the secret passageway.

Eastern Illinois University - Pemburton Hall
Charleston, Illinois Eastern Illinois University - Pemburton Hall. Eastern Illinois University
Brief history: Now serving as a women's dormitory, Pemberton Hall was built in 1909 and named in honor of State Senator Stanton C. Pemberton. It is the oldest such residence in the state and has been named a historic landmark.
Ghosts: The ghost haunting this building has been given the name Mary and is said to be the spirit of a counselor who was murdered by a crazed janitor. Keeping an ever-watchful eye on her girls, even after death, Mary roams the building from room to room giggling door handles, and turning TVs and stereos on and off. According to one student who lived in the dorm in 1981, she saw the apparition of Mary float into her room, as if checking on her.

Athens, Ohio Ohio University - Brown House. Ohio University - Brown House
Brief history. "Ohio University in Athens is probably the most haunted college campus in the entire country, if not the world," states Forgotten Ohio. This might be an unverifible claim, but they do cite a number of reports of haunting activity in a number of their buildings as anecdotal evidence. Here are a few:
Ghosts:
Brown House (pictured above) - The ghost of Millie Brown, who donated this house to the university, can still be seen on occasion peering out of one of the windows. Also, there used to be a swimming pool in the backyard, and the sounds of children splashing around in it can still be heard.
Delta Tau Delta frat house - After the mischievous frat boys swiped a tombstone from Simms Cemetery, they began experiencing all manner of poltergeist activity in the house. It stopped only when they returned the grave marker.
Jefferson Hall - In 1996, a few students were exploring the attic of this dormitory when they encountered a woman dressed in clothing from the 1950s. When they tried to speak to her, they noticed she was transparent and floating above the floor. The sighting was followed by an array of poltergeist activity: lights switching on and off; toilet paper rolls unrolling by unseen hands; and the what sound like hundreds of marbles being dropped on an upstairs floor.
Crawford Hall - This freshman dorm is thought to be haunted by the ghost of Laura, a student who fell to her death from a fourth-floor window. One night, an RA was awakened by the ghost who opened his drom room door and said, ""I'm sorry, I've woken you."

Manhattan, Kansas Kansas State University. Kansas State University
Brief history: Kansas State was founded in 1858 when Bluemont Central College was founded and 53 students enrolled. Today it has an enrollment of more than more than 23,000.
Ghosts: K-State lays claim to several ghosts and haunted spots, but the most well-known might be that of the school's Purple Masque Theater, located on the main floor of the campus's East Stadium. Heard but never seen, the ghost here has been named Nick and is said to be the spirit of a football player who died there in the 1950s when the building served as a dormitory for athletes. They say Nick's heavy footsteps can be heard in the hallways, on the stairs and near the theater's stage. He has been blamed for numerous mischievous pranks, including moving chairs, playing music at night, and stacking boxes in a dressing room.
The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, they say, is haunted by Duncan, who died during a pledge initiation gone wrong. The paddle used to pledge Duncan was hung on a wall in memoriam, but when the paddle was taken down to paint the wall, a dark stain remained that could not be painted over. They finally had to install paneling to cover it.
Another haunted frat house is that of Delta Sigma Phi. The building used to be St. Mary's Hospital and two ghosts have been seen there, apparently from the hospital days: a phantom nurse still making her rounds; and George, an elderly patient who died in a freak accident, and whose ghost can still be heard making a racket on the third floor.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Gettysburg College. Gettysburg College
Mark Nesbitt, one of the foremost authorities and authors on the ghosts of Gettysburg, relates one of the area's most gruesome experiences. Pennsylvania Hall at Gettysburg College has been the site of many Civil War era ghost encounters, but perhaps none can compare to what two college administrators saw one night.
One hundred years previous, the building had been used as a field hospital for many of the fierce battle's wounded. But on this night, as the two administrators were taking the elevator from the fourth floor down to the first, the long-ago nightmare wasn't even on their minds.
Inexplicably, the elevator passed the first floor and continued on to the basement. When the doors opened, the administrators could scarcely believe their eyes. What they knew to be storage space was replaced by a scene from the hospital: dead and dying men were lying about on the floor; blood-covered doctors and orderlies were rushing about chaotically, trying desperately to save their lives. No sound emanated from the ghastly sight, but both administrators saw it clearly.
Horrified, they frantically pushed the elevator button to close the doors. As the doors closed, they said, one of the orderlies looked up and directly at them, seeming to see them, and with a pleading expression on his face.
University of Montevallo
Montevallo, Alabama University of Montevallo. University of Montevallo
The University of Montevallo first opened its doors in 1896 as the Alabama Girls' Industrial School. It later became a technical school and eventually a co-ed college offering traditional courses of study.
Less conventional are its tales of ghosts, which are said to haunt the campus's King House, Main Dorm and the King House Cemetery. Here are some of the stories:
You've heard of "death by chocolate"? Well, in 1908 a sophomore student was making fudge in the Main Dorm when her nightgown caught fire. She died soon after of the injuries, but her ghost has been heard moaning and screaming in the hallway. And an image of her burning face on the wooden door of her dorm room -- a sight so disturbing that it had to be removed and put away.
Mr. Edmund King is said to haunt the grounds of King House, a building he constructed in 1823. It is said in life he wandered the house, orchard and cemetery with a lantern. Today, people attest to seeing the lights and curtains move in the house. And other unexplained lights have been seen in the orchard and cemetery. According to legend, Mr. King is searching for the money and silver he buried on the property.
Clinton, New York Hamilton College. Hamilton College
The students of this picturesque college in the Mohawk Valley of Central New York might complain about the area's cold and snowy winters, and they might be equally apprehensive of its haunted campus buildings.
Students who live on the third floor of the North Residence Hall have reported seeing a Revolutionary War era messenger walking the hallway. They say he stops and points at people he believes to be trespassers before walking away and disappearing through a solid wall.
The college's Admissions Building and Alumni House are reputedly haunted by the ghosts of the families that once inhabited them. Faculty and staff have reported lights that turn on by themselves and doors open that were left shut.
St. Joseph's College
Emmitsburg, Maryland St. Joseph's College. St. Joseph's College
Brief history: St. Joseph's was founded as a Catholic girls' academy in 1809 by Elizabeth Ann Seton, better known as Mother Seton, who later was canonized as a Catholic saint. Over the years, the school grew into a college of liberal arts for women. The college closed in 1973 and the campus was bought by the U.S. Government to house the National Emergency Training Center. During the Civil War, the campus served as a field hospital for wounded soldiers -- a reason, no doubt, for much of its haunting activity.
Ghosts: Those who attended the college before it closed its door still recall some of the phenomena that took place there:
Sightings of the ghosts of Civil War nurses carrying away buckets of bloody amputated body parts
Sounds of the screams of wounded and dying soldiers
The powerful smells of the long-gone hospital
The friendly ghost of Mother Seton herself has been seen walking the campus, possibly hurrying to attend to the injured soldiers.
East Lansing, Michigan Michigan State University.
Brief history: Located in East Lansing, three miles east of Michigan's capitol in Lansing, MSU was founded in 1855. It has more than 47,000 graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in 200 programs.
Ghosts: MSU has several ghost legends associated with its campus:
The restless spirit of May Mayo, after whom Mayo Hall is named, is said to have something to do with a piano that plays itself as well as ephemeral figures that have been seen floating about.
Mayo Hall also has the haunting "Red Room," which was allegedly the site of Satanic activity in its past.
In Holmes Hall, the quirky behavior of the elevator has been blamed on a ghost, especially on the sixth floor where two mysterious figures have been sighted.
Fairchild Auditorium is thought to be haunted by the spirit of a small boy.
The residents of the 12th floor of Hubbard Hall have reported lights that on and off by themselves as well as the sounds of running and ghostly laughter.
The ghost of an old man has been seen in the basement oak room in Mason Hall; allegedly he suffocated and died there in 1975. Is he responsible for the loud banging heard there in the early hours of the morning?
Other haunted locations include the University Garden, the Physical Plant, and Williams Hall.

Concerns about the reliability of findings following re-analysis of a dataset from a published article
Following publication of an article, a reader posted a comment raising some questions about the data analysis in the study and the availability of the dataset.

Lost raw data
In a nutshell, if someone has lost their raw data, workup data and laboratory books (so that in effect their data cannot be checked/queried/verified/substantiated) what would be the implications of submitting his/her results to a journal?

Alcatel 1 is the first smartphone created by Alcatel to take advantage of the recently introduced Android Go. Also known as Android Oreo Go Edition, it is a stripped-down version of Android designed to run on entry-level smartphones.
This means that these phones will sell at very low prices. For example, Alcatel 1 went on sale on Amazon for $80 today, which is insanely cheap for a new Android smartphone with some otherwise great specifications. (Please note that the price on Amazon can change at any time so make sure you double check to see the actual price of the product).
If you're wondering what are the specifications of the Alcatel 1, you'll probably be surprised to hear that it runs on a Quad-Core processor (MediaTek MT6739), 1GB of RAM and comes with 8GB of internal storage but also a microSD card to expand it. It is a 5-inch smartphone with a decent resolution of 960 x 480 pixels).
The phone's cameras are not amazing, as it offers a 5MP rear camera and 2MP front-facing camera – but remember that this phone sells for $80!
The main selling point – apart for the price – is that it runs on Google's Android Oreo (the GO Edition), which has been created to give manufacturers a chance to create very budget friendly phones without having to go for old, outdated and underperforming Android versions as it usually was the case in such situations.
And when you're on a very tight budget, this comes in handy and the Alcatel 1 is a really good choice. Sure, it's not a flagship Samsung – but a flagship Samsung phone also costs a LOT more. So if you only have a little to spend, Alcatel's Android Go phone is an amazing place to start at – so check it out over on Amazon where you can also order one.
If you're looking for some great cheap smartphones, make sure to check out our article where we share the best phones you can get on a budget.


King was honored tonight for her portrayal of Latrice Butler, a Jersey City mother whose son is killed by the police in Veena Sud's Netflix drama, Seven Seconds.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi lifted Africa's fallen giant to the continental title after two decades of underachievement, and lived up to his "Big Boss" nickname by retaining control even after the national federation threatened to fire him midway through the tournament.
When Keshi led Nigeria to last year's African Cup title, he became only the second man to win it as a player and coach. For Nigeria, it ended a 19-year trophy drought and enshrined Keshi — the 1994 African Cup-winning captain — as a football savior who delivers titles whether playing or coaching.
It was quickly forgotten by Nigeria Football Federation officials that they tried to get rid of Keshi before the quarterfinals of the continental championship.
"I'm an optimistic person. I rarely think about negativity," Keshi said after lifting the trophy.
Now, Keshi is expected to take his country to the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time, something he came within two minutes of as a player before Italy overturned a 1-0 deficit to knock Nigeria out of the 1994 tournament.
Keshi will return for another go at the World Cup as a coach and his Nigeria goes again as African champion — thanks largely to his influence.
The 52-year-old Keshi suits his nickname with his former central defender's beefy frame, but also his strength of character. He stands up for what he believes and has often been at odds with his own bosses at the national federation because of it.
He's still there as coach, perhaps a measure of the respect he has earned. Before Keshi, Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2012 African Cup of Nations. It won it after he arrived.
Keshi's playing days took him from Nigeria to Ivory Coast, Belgium, France, the United States and Malaysia. In his first national coaching role, he qualified Togo for its World Cup debut only to be discarded and replaced by Otto Pfister for the 2006 tournament in Germany.
That experience appeared to have left a lasting impression on Keshi, who was vindicated and re-employed by Togo after Pfister's disappointing time in charge saw the Togolese players nearly go on strike at the World Cup.
"Even when it goes bad I still think it is good," Keshi said. "There must always be a lesson to add to my future to make it better."

Experts Weigh in on White House Transition at SMLS
The Washington Center hosted the final installment of the Simpson-Mineta Leaders Series of the fall 2016 semester on Friday, Nov.18.
The Washington Center hosted the final installment of the Simpson-Mineta Leaders Series of the fall 2016 semester on Friday, Nov.18. CSPAN will later air coverage of the lecture series.
Friday's SMLS dug deep into the state of the post-election White House transition, breaking down what has so far been a chaotic scene at as President-Elect Donald Trump prepares to take power in less than 10 weeks. Friday's panel provided key insights into the challenges the transition team will face and mapped out the steps that Trump's team must take to ensure a smooth transition.
Panelists included:
Martha Kumar, Director, White House Transition Project
Lisa Brown, former Agency Review Co-Director, Obama - Biden Transition Project
Joshua Bolten, former White House Chief of Staff, George W. Bush administration
Senior POLITICO Reporter Nancy Cook moderated an introductory discussion, then turned things over to students, who engaged with panelists in a Q & A session.
Some of the highlights:
Paige Niler (Institutions: Emerson College; Internship: The Sierra Club) What are the chances of several positions remaining unfilled on inauguration day? Will this dysfunction trickle down throughout the federal government?
Brown: There will most certainly be vacancies, but a government can still function without every single post filled. No matter how organized you are there will be some spots open on January 20. During the Obama transition, we had what was considered a very organized transition, but there were still positions that remained unfilled for quite some time.
Bolten: It becomes incrementally harder for the president to manage the government if there are vacancies, so it should be a priority to fill those as quickly as possible. While there are 4,000 presidentially appointed positions that are very important, you have to remember that there are still 4 million full time government employees whose job it is to keep things running.
Kumar: Knowing that everyone can't get confirmed right away, you have to consider your priorities. You focus on positions throughout the government that are key to what you want to accomplish first. For example, the Reagan and Obama administrations made it a priority to first appoint people who could help navigate the tough economic climates that either president inherited at the outset of their terms.
Ashley Sherman (Institution: Texas Christian University; Internship: The American Conservative union) The Constitution was written so that the executive branch wasn't an ultra powerful branch. With people being so concerned about the potential instability caused by a Trump presidency, is this a sign that the White House has grown too powerful?
Kumar: The president is the only nationally elected official we have. One of the things that has happened over time is the nationalization of problems, meaning the president takes the lead on major issues while Congress represents the concerns of their own constituents. If you were to ask presidents if they had too much power, they would say they don't have enough.
Megan Romero (Institution: University of Central Florida; Internship: Center for Naval Analyses) What impact did 9/11 have on presidential transitions?
Bolten: It had an enormous impact. President Bush was very concerned about the threat of another 9/11 type of event happening during the transition and he made it a top priority to reform the way we handle the change of power. The transition between Bush and Obama was the first time in modern history that the homeland was perceived to be under threat during a change of power.

How Long Does Depression Last, and How to Know if You Have One?
Look. When you struggle with depression, knowing that this dark tunnel will end somewhere is a comfort on its own. Unfortunately, how long does depression last is not a question you can easily give answer to without a thorough professional help on the matter. That said, we're here to give you some common ground rules when it comes to the length of depression.
Many researches have come to prove that sadness is a mere iceberg to the mountain of depression it hides underneath. While this is true for many cases, not all kind of sadness is equal to depression by itself. Depression is when you can not lift yourself from sadness within you over two weeks or more. Sadness, in the other hand, is a human reaction to painful events in life. It is a part of coping mechanism that eventually help you to heal from said events.
So how long does depression last? Apparently, more than two weeks, approximately four to eight months. Although obviously this number varies among patients.
How long does depression lasts depends greatly on whether or not the patient accept the condition. It also relies on how much help they get those surround them.
Relying too much on medication, on the other hand, especially ones that are self-prescribed, has been reported to cause longer period as well as more frequent relapses to the patients. It is worth to note, that the more frequent the relapses are, the less likely it is for depression to be controlled.
It is important to seek out for help as the first step to be taken before you diagnose yourself with depression. Get professional to diagnose your condition properly. Make commitment to get all the help you can get.
When you start accepting your condition and the fact that you need help, next thing to do is to develop trust to those who want to help you. This is crucial as without trusting your therapist completely, it is almost impossible for him/her to make a thorough examination that might cause a misdiagnosis and improper treatments for your conditions.
Depression is a far more complex condition than just a swing mood or a crucifying guilt you carry within. It doesn't really matter how long does depression last. What matters the most, is for you to make that first step to get the help you rightfully deserve.

Огіг (Ὤγυγος) - перший міфологічний правитель у Стародавній Греції, в Беотії , а також існує версія, що він був першим королем Аттики .

Етимологія
Хоча первісна етимологія і зміст невизначені,  назва Огіг може бути пов'язана з грецьким Океаном (Ὠκεανός),  Титаном, який представляв великий світовий океан.  Слово Ogygios в перекладі з грецької означає  "первісний" або "з найдавніших віків", а також "гігантський".

Стародавні  джерела
Огіг відомий також як цар Ектенів, які, за словами Павсанія, були першими мешканцями Беотії, де згодом було засноване місто Фіви .  Він став першим правителем цього міста, яке після його правління почало називатися Огігія. Згодом поети назвали фіванців Огігідами.  Павсаній, описавши свої подорожі по Беотії у ІІ столітті нашої ери, сказав: "Першими, хто захопив землю Фів, були Ектени, царем яких був Огіг, абориген. Від його імені походить слово "Огігіан", яке є терміном до слова  "Фіви", яким користується більшість поетів ».

У іншій версії історії, традиції Беотії поєднується з традиціями іншої частини Греції: Огіг був королем Ектенів, які були першими людьми, що захопили Беотію, а пізніше він і його люди оселили територію, відому як Афон. Згодом ця земля була названа Огігією на його честь, яка пізніше була перейменована на Афон.

Огіг є одним із аборигенів Беотії, тож існують розповіді, які вважають його сином Посейдона, Беота або навіть Кадмуса. Теофіл у ІІ столітті ( Apologia ad Autolycum ) вважає, що він був одним із титанів .

Він був чоловіком Фіви, на честь якої було названо місто в Греції. Його дітьми вважають двох синів: Елевсін (на честь якого було назване місто в Греції) і Кадмус; і трьох доньок: Ауліс, Алкоменія і Тельвінія.

В Старому Завіті Огіга описували як гіганта, який допомагав Ною в будівництві Ковчега.

Потоп Огіга

Перша світова повінь у грецькій міфології -  потоп Огіга, що стався під час його правління і має таку назву, хоча деякі джерела вважають це місцевим потопом, наприклад, розлив озера Копаїда, яке колись знаходилось в центрі Беотії.  Інші джерела розглядають це як повінь, пов'язану з Аттикою.  Ця версія була прийнята Африканом, який вважає, що великий і перший потоп стався в Аттиці.

Коли цей потоп було визнано глобальним, була помічена схожість з потопом Ноя в Біблії . На ці події були призначені різні дати, включаючи 9500 р. до н.е. ( Платон ),  2136 р. до н.е. ( Варро ) та 1793 р. До н.е. (Африкан).

Хоч і багато людей під час потопу загинуло, Огігу вдалося врятувався. Згодом після його смерті, спустошена Аттика була без царів протягом 189 років до часу Кекропса.  Африкан каже: "Але після Огіга, через велике руйнування, спричинене потопом, те, що зараз називається Аттика, залишилося без царя сто вісімдесят дев'ять років до часу Кекропса".

Потоп Девкаліона є грецькою версією старої легенди. Девкаліон та Пірра були єдиними хто лишився живий після великого потопу. Їх син Геллен, який став правителем Ффії на півдні Фессалії, був пророком еллінів.

In some states in the United States of America (US), a union school district or union high school district is a school district that has been established by the consolidation of "two or more school districts situated in the same county".  A Joint union school district is similar, but the component districts are "situated wholly or in part in different counties".  A union school district is distinguished from a unified school district (USD) in that a union school district generally does not include or operate both primary or grade schools and high schools. A "unified school district" generally does include and operate both types of schools.  (Vermont has a different distinction, as explained below.)

Arizona
In Arizona, a union high school district is generally one that includes and operates high schools. Sometimes the name is derived from the name of the first school that was opened, using the word "Union" in its full name. Examples include the Casa Grande Union High School District (the Union school still uses the full name), the Phoenix Union High School District, the Glendale Union High School District, and the Tempe Union High School District. Some special union high school districts — such as the Santa Cruz Valley Union High School District — include and operate only one school.

California
The California Education Code states that "A high school district, other than a city high school district, comprising two or more elementary school districts lying wholly in the same county is a union high school district, and such designation shall be part of its name."

Vermont
In Vermont, a union school district "is established when two or more school districts agree to join together to own, construct, or operate schools."  A union school district is a unified school district if the town school districts have been abolished.

School names
Several school districts are named "Union School District" or similar constructions, without it satisfying the criteria above:
 Union School District, San Jose, California—named in honor of the Union Army during the American Civil War
 Union Public Schools, Oklahoma
 Union School District (Arkansas)
 Union County–College Corner Joint State School District, Indiana and Ohio
 Union County School District (Florida)

Unique stores, greenspace preferred in Jeffersonville
Are chain stores really good for Jeffersonville?
Don't get me wrong, I love coffee and I enjoy Starbucks. I also love convenience — who doesn't? But does anyone ever consider the other side of development? When we go get our coffees from a drive thru, we are creating waste by ordering disposable cups and straws. Our ecological footprint from a Starbucks is not something to be proud of. Culturally, Starbucks adds nothing to Jeffersonville. It will detract from the business of smaller, more interesting and unique coffee shops — Too Tired Bike and Bean and Pearl Street Game and Coffee House. We recently went to Seattle, and one of the many things I love about that city is its character. Unusual restaurants you haven't heard of before with cool art and fun menu choices. I would love to see us encouraging character instead of just bringing in yet another predictable chain, making Jeffersonville look more like every other city in mid-America.
How about the proposed T.J. Maxx next to Hobby Lobby? Is there not a T.J. Maxx five minutes away in Clarksville? Are we really better off taking our land to build a retail shop with minimum wage jobs that will probably go out of business in a year? This will add no character to our city, and will hardly even add convenience. You know what I would rather see on that land? Nothing. Allow it to grow and be a wild park where kids can climb trees, explore unusual fungi and discover nature. Allow animals to have a place to live instead of crowding them out and then flattening them as roadkill. Or create a community of tiny houses where people with low incomes can have an affordable place to live with shared gardens and chicken houses. Turn it into a composting center for the city, where people can drop off food or yard waste and pick up nutrient-rich compost to grow healthy food that feeds not only people, but also our pollinators.
I'd like to see our politicians thinking outside the box. Thinking about more than just enriching developers who already have oodles of money, and thinking about the bigger picture. Not just shopping opportunities, which are hard on our planet and our pocketbooks, but opportunities to just be and improve our health and happiness — both of people and the natural systems that we all depend on to survive.
— Anna Murray
EDITOR'S NOTE: Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore told the News and Tribune in late April that, as a result of the new Jeffersonville location, the T.J. Maxx store in Clarksville would close; however, a spokesman for T.J. Maxx could not confirm that.
Council goes too far on Theatair X
In typical Republican fashion, the Republican Party members of the Clarksville Town Council voted to exercise their authoritarian powers as well-trained disciples of Marxism to intervene in a private market and shut down private commerce. Pointing out to the public relations associate of the News and Tribune, Aprile Rickert, Theatair X is a private establishment not a public one as stated in your PR piece (concerning, since the NT boss recently published an opinion piece on proper use of words).
Here are several questions a journalist could ask the Clarksville Town Council:
a. With Theatair X being a private establishment, why is it of public concern the activities of non-violent consenting individuals?
b. With the 4th Amendment giving right for citizens to be secure in their private establishment against unreasonable searches and seizures, if Theatair X is going to be unreasonably searched, should all private establishments (inclusive of commercial and residential) be searched and reprimanded for the same violations as placed on the Theatair X?
c. To the Republican members of the Town Council, doesn't the harassment of non-violent private commerce conflict with the principles of small government expressed by the Republican Party?
d. To the Republican members of the Town Council, with the significant levels of historical violence of black markets, why would you put lives in jeopardy by promoting black markets?
e. To the Republican members of the Town Council, how do you reconcile government owning property through zoning and the political pursuit of limited government?
The Marx Council of Clarksville has shown their hand. Do the voters of Clarksville stand with dictators confiscating private property or do the voters acknowledge the establishment and protection of private property?

Dems had many reasons to block abortion bill
This is a response to Ms. Saundra K. Naugle's 05/06 letter, "LifeNews: Dems 'Block Bill To Stop Infanticide,'" where she claims Democrats are in favor of abortion surviving infanticide by blocking SB 311, the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act."
Ms. Naugle, did you take time to research WHY Democrats blocked this act?
1. The bill is unnecessary since the 2002 "Born Alive Protection Act" covers that infanticide is already illegal in every state. This act includes induced abortions.
2. The bill is aimed at restricting access to legal abortion. The definition of abortion in this bill would include where labor is induced because of fetal abnormalities.
3. This bill put physicians in a terrible situation, where they know the appropriate medical care but wonder what the legislative interpretation of the circumstances would be, under the threat of criminal penalties.
4. Seventeen medical groups stated in a letter to the Senate that the bill amounted to "another restriction on women's access to reproductive health care."
5. This situation could be political; conversation concerning born-alive abortions and late-term abortions can encourage people to view abortion as to favor the Republican's agenda such as "Democrats are for abortion surviving infanticide."
6. Late-term abortions represent a small minority of hundreds of thousands of U.S. abortions each year, and they are typically concerned with the mother's health or embryo abnormalities.
7. Lies like this that Democrats are in favor of abortion surviving infanticide is a good example of what can be called a "conceptual tar pit"; a pit where proper ideas cannot escape a pit of bad ideas and horror stories. The possibility of an abortion surviving infanticide is being "tarred" by an imagined society that cannot think and does not care.
(factcheck.org/2019/03; post-gazette.com/2019/02/05; nytimes.com/2019/02/26; "Aid in Dying," Byron Chell, page 63)
"LifeNews has been a reputable pro-life online news source for many years." Ms. Naugle, I read your referenced article and I would disagree. Not one of the seven Democrat objections I have mentioned are discussed in this article.
I am obviously Pro-Choice.

Janssen appeals invalidation of Remicade patent to PTAB
On July 23, 2015, Janssen Biotech, Inc. and New York University filed a brief appealing the rejection of all claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,284,471, a patent covering Remicade (infliximab), to the USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The '471 patent was put into ex parte reexamination in 2013, and the examiner has rejected all claims for obviousness-type double patenting over two expired U.S. patents.
Janssen's brief argues that the obviousness-type double patenting rejection is improper (i) because the '471 patent is now a divisional application entitled to the 35 U.S.C. § 121 safe harbor, and (ii) because the claims of the '471 patent would be patentably distinct from the claims of the two expired patents under the two-way obviousness test.
The '471 patent is currently the subject of litigation in the District of Massachusetts, brought by Janssen and NYU against Celltrion and Hospira. The pleadings for that case can be found here.

Q: Fourier transform using contour integral I am to evaluate the Fourier sine integral $$\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin(sx)}{x(a^2+x^2)}\mathrm{d}x$$
I tried using contour integration using
$$\int_0^∞\frac{\sin(sx)}{x(a^2+x^2)}\mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{2}\int_c\frac{e^{isz}}{z(a^2+z^2)}\mathrm{d}z$$
Which on solving gives me $\frac{πi}{a^2}$$(1-\frac{e^{-as}}{2})$
I have used $ai$ and $0$ as my poles
But the final required solution is
$$\frac{π}{2a^2}(1-e^{-as})$$
Where am I going wrong can someone help me

Quiet, poetic, intimate — It occurs to me that paintings* like these fill the void left in people's lives by the absence of books. James Buss' show at Hello Project is like visiting a library: rows of hand-sized rectangular objects, peering at which, you can experience reflective thoughts.
The thoughts are strictly your own. Buss only supplies the screen onto which they can be projected. Looking at them is akin to cloud-watching, or appreciating the veined marble while you're waiting in a bank lobby. Like other nature-priest artists such as James Turrell or Richard Long, Buss' skill consists of presenting a slice of the omnipresent, magnificent and transcendent World so that we'll pay attention to it for a couple minutes.
Don't get me wrong: critiquing Buss' pieces for their lack of intention is like dismissing a Mondrian for its lack of realistic drawing. It's a whole 'nuther thing. The pieces are beautiful in that sublime, yet modest way only nature can be beautiful, if you're in the mood for that sort of thing.
The few artistic decisions that have been made have been made well: the limited range of soft, neutral rusts, blacks and grays; the substantial but still wafer-thin plaster tablets; the crumbling ridges of plaster that leaked through cracks in Buss' molds that he leaves as faint clues to his process. Even the mini angle irons that support two of the pieces on the wall are perfectly chosen. The works ooze sensitivity.
James Buss, Untitled, 2014. Do not attempt to adjust your screens.
There's not much of the artist's personality in them, except for its conspicuous absence. Where most artists use their work to shout their individuality at viewers, Buss is content to remain a facilitator: he enacts a scheme for capturing a suitably delectable natural texture then steps out of the way, preserving enough clues to his process so that viewers are aware of his diminished presence. Like the figure of a tiny pilgrim embedded in a Chinese landscape, Buss places himself alongside the viewer, as a spectator of his own pictures.
Like some Chinese landscapes, Buss' pieces are also vertical in format, making them more bookish and more active—the margins closing in from the sides force the random splatters and smooshes into a relationship with gravity. Confined in a vertical rectangle, some are on top, trickling down, others welling up from the bottom, with a sense of animation they wouldn't have if they were allowed to spread horizontally across a wide, landscape-format picture. Blots and tatters read more like faces or text, rather than rocks and water.
There's an important difference, though. In Guo Xi's painting above, each mark and texture is the result of direct, positive action by the artist; its vitality is evidence of the artist's conscious ability to imbue his marks with that quality, not a byproduct of semi-random process.
Brice Marden Cold Mountain 6 (Bridge), 1989-91. Oil on linen, 274.3 x 365.8cm.
Or, for a more contemporary, American example, take Brice Marden's damnably authentic Cold Mountain series. Cold Mountain 6 (Bridge), above, makes the same, essential assertion of the identity between self and nature without Guo Xi's layered symbolism, representational content, or fussy conventions. Marden and Guo Xi are forces of nature, Buss is nature's midwife.
Even Marden used crutches: he relied on the vagaries of long shaky brushes (and the example of Asian painting traditions!) to help him let go; Buss is even more hands-off, letting the spread, flow and absorption of inks into his plaster panels create his images for him.
Tile samples, "Porada," deep grey, PR 34 from Daltile.
The refinement of Buss' works is so easy to appreciate it might seem dumb. Over the weekend I spent an hour at Daltile, a high-end tile showroom, sorting through dozens of stone-like variations to find the perfect kitchen floor. Why did it take an hour? Because, even in floor tiles, nuances matter. The Daltile designers (who, after all, went to the same art schools as Buss) are going for the same understated naturalness, using some of the same techniques: textured, earthy materials, and semi-random process.
I'm not saying anyone could do it; on the contrary: it's a mark of Buss' skill that he makes it look easy. The impression of artlessness or lack of contrivance that Buss consistently achieves in his panels is one of their chief virtues. Despite their restful color and hands-off randomness, the panels never lapse into decorative blandness, like the tile sample.
His non-panel pieces don't quite make it. The show includes a shelf full of standard black-bound sketchbooks, marked with printed or stamped blots on random pages. They're not much of anything, and they're not very interesting; the marks fill just enough of the books to push the remaining white space in the direction of lyricism: leafing through one, my first thought was that there was still plenty of perfectly good blank paper left; if I had one, I'd write haiku in it, or a dream diary.
James Buss: Outside the Phantastikon will be on view at Hello Project in Houston through November 8, 2014.
*They're not, technically, paintings. I use the term to describe any flat, rectangular object hung where a painting ought to be.


The "Sonata sacra", for solo violin, consists of three movements taken from the Vingt Myste`res du Rosaire [Twenty Mysteries of the Rosary] op. 10 by Eric Lebrun, for violin, cello, harp and organ. They also form a self- contained work which explores the expressive possibilities of the violin. This work has already been performed by numerous first-class violinists. The "Second Mystery", for violin solo, functions as a prelude to the "Sonata sacra".


Victoria has 21 species of microbats (insect bats), a protected species.
At dusk in the summer we sit on our balcony and see insect bats flying around catching their prey, the myriad insects in the air.
Although abundant, most people would be unaware of microbats due to their size, inaudible to humans calls, and they are nocturnal.
Classified as a mammal, it is the only mammal capable of flying.
The insect bat is certainly "micro", weighing up to only 150 grams and growing to 15cm.
The bat uses echolocation to "see" what is around. It makes high pitched sound pulses through the nose and mouth which, when returned to it, can help gauge the distance, size and mobility of insects.
The sound pulses are so high pitched, humans cannot hear them.
Travelling several kilometres a night searching for food, a single bat can eat hundreds of mosquitoes and other flying insects in a few hours.
It can eat up to three quarters of its body weight in a night.
The insect bat roosts in tree hollows. Or, as we discovered, in man-made buildings.
During winter the microbat enters a state of semi hibernation, or torpor, after building up fat during the summer and autumn.
It can live up to 30 years which is amazing, given its tiny size!
To breed, females fly long distances to special maternity sites. The gestation period is about 12 weeks, with the young born in November/December when there is plenty of food available.
A pup is born fur-less and suckles until it can fly. This is about 5 to 6 weeks old.
One of the main predators of the microbat is the domestic cat.

February 15th, 2020, New Works by Gus Harper
Artist Gus Harper has been creating art for over twenty years. He is excited to show his brand new series featuring 35 new works entitled "Black Series One." The event will be held at Harper's studio...a perfect place to celebrate his "Black series One" exhibition and exhibit his large artworks.
This is a follow up to a show that he exhibited several years ago in which all of the paintings were white Harper recalls, "They were displayed in a space with white furniture and even the food served that night was white. And all the guests came wearing all white. So now, years later, I'm finally having a follow up show. It's called "Black Series One" will be the next progression to that show. This exhibition is about personal evolution."
Gus is constantly busy painting commissions, working on new series and collaborating with other artists. However, through the years, he has learned to listen to his inner voice. An idea for a new series can come at any time. Harper continues, "Often, I am working on a new piece and in the process a new series slowly develops. It seems that I already have another series in the works for the next show already"
Harper is known for his fantastic murals. He has painted over thirty murals all over the world, and created his largest to date last year in Malibu. In the early days of an upcoming project led the LA County Probation Department, Harper was commissioned to paint a 600-foot long wall. Harper was given a blank slate to create - an unusual, yet exciting and daunting opportunity for any artist. When asked if he drew out a sketch first, he replied. "No, I just let it flow." Harper explained that he made a conscious choice to not pre-plan anything. "I wanted to just let the images come out of me. I saw some perplexed expressions on peoples faces when they asked me what I was going to paint, and I told him that I did not know yet. But luckily Harry had faith in me." He added that allowing his creative flow to come out organically kept him from feeling restricted. You can view another mural on Pico (33rd Street) just off the 10 freeway.
The artist reception takes place at his studio on February 15, 2020, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Gus Harper's Art Studio is located at 2900 Airport Ave. studio F, Santa Monica 90405 - the entrance is on the west side of the building). The exhibition will remain on view through February 19, 2020; Call for an appointment (310-699-9509) to stop in to see the exhibition. Find out more about the artist, and his upcoming events and exhibitions on his website http://gusharperart.com/

The Upper West consistently supports nonprofit organizations, and has hosted the Oscars Watch Party to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for the past six years. LLS is dedicated to funding research, finding cures and ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients. Since 1949, LLS has funded advancements in chemotherapies, stem cell transplants, targeted therapies and immunotherapies for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma that are saving thousands of lives today. LLS is currently involved with more than 300 active research projects.
Sara Fay has been volunteering her time to LLS for many years now, and said she is excited to once again participate in the event. "This year, I'm fundraising in honor of my good friend Bernard. Bernard is a truly inspirational person and he's defied the odds against acute myeloid leukemia, the type of leukemia that killed my father in 2011. Bernard has given the most to the LLS community: time, energy and inspiration; hundreds of thousands of dollars raised, clinical trial participation. He is our MVP and I'm proud to know him and fundraise in his honor."

Chuck Kaufman, NicaNotes, Nicaragua
NicaNotes: "Live from Nicaragua : Uprising or Coup?"
As we stand here today on the brink of the one year anniversary of the spasm of violence and confusion that engulfed Nicaragua last year, it is time to tell the truth and correct the historical record about what actually happened during three months of violence. The Alliance for Global Justice, with contributions by over 20 co-authors plus editors, photographers, videographers, and folks who lived the terror of those times, has produced a free electronic book available in pdf and electronic book formats. Live from Nicaragua: Uprising our Coup? is a reader with both original articles and reprints of articles written during the troubled times.
In 2018, Nicaragua suffered its worst political violence and upheaval since the end of the US backed Contra war of the 1980s. Extremely polarized controversy persists about what caused this conflict, how it developed and what is means for Nicaragua's people now. This book brings together material completely excluded from mainstream coverage of events in Nicaragua. The book has been produced by people with an unquestionable and long demonstrated commitment to grass roots democracy and community development in Nicaragua and the region based on an anti-imperialist vision of peace and justice for all. The book challenges the mainstream and much of the alternative media coverage of events in Nicaragua over the last year. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand those events.
The book will be available from midday Thursday April 18th 2019
Extracts from Gabriela Luna's Prologue
The geographical position, extraction of natural resources, exploitation of cheap labor and possibility of building an inter-oceanic canal have been the axes of imperialist interest in Central America. This has bathed the region's history in blood and resistance, which is why the desperate migrant caravan from the northern triangle of the isthmus is in fact the offspring of U.S. imperialism.
Since 2007, hope and life have been redefined with the return of the Sandinista Front to government. The absolute number of undernourished people in the country has been reduced by half, access to free education and health care has been guaranteed to rural communities, maternal mortality has been reduced by 60% and infant mortality by 52%, while access to electricity has been increased from 54% to 96% of the country's population.
Nicaragua is the safest country in Central America, and is in sixth place globally for women's participation in public and civic spaces. Life in the countryside has recovered dignity, thanks to a policy that prioritizes and values the family economy, making it possible to reduce food imports and become 100% self-sufficient in beans, corn, eggs, milk, fruits, onions, peppers, tomatoes and beef.
The attempted coup was intended to eradicate not only the Sandinista Front from political power in Nicaragua but also to tear Sandinismo from the heart and historical memory of the people. The practices of desecrating and burning historical sites of the Sandinista Front, of stripping, beating, torturing, kidnapping and publicly murdering Sandinistas, or publicly burning people, is not new in the history of Nicaragua or Central America.
These practices stem from the Spanish conquest that publicly tortured indigenous rebels. They were then applied by U.S. soldiers in military interventions, by the Somoza dictatorship, and were part of the US' counter-insurgency handbook, applied during more than 30 years in Guatemala and El Salvador to stop the advances of peoples' revolutions in these countries.
The CIA's Contra armies applied these practices in peasant communities during the 1980s.
The opposition's death roadblocks were mostly manned by socially-excluded poor people who were paid to create chaos and pain. They were politically supported by young upper middle-class university students, who, from the comfort of their homes in gated communities, misunderstood the reality of the roadblocks, and consumed the mainstream media's version of the crisis.
These media outlets are dominated nationally by the oligarchy. US-owned social media companies provided platforms for a strategy that activated hundreds of young people previously trained by USAID and NED to create a dominant narrative. The coup's media blitzkrieg used the advertising pages of Facebook to spread lies, foment hatred and encourage violence—accusing the Sandinistas of the violence against Sandinistas.
The first sector to break the psychological and horror siege was the moral reserve of the Sandinista Front: its historic rank-and-file membership. In the face of systematic violence against Sandinista families, the only option was local organizing for the protection of families, neighborhoods, towns and cities. Barricades were formed in the neighborhoods and public institutions to prevent arson attacks and assassinations.
These defense barricades, set up over weeks in the cities, towns and neighborhoods of Nicaragua, were made up of members of the Sandinista Front from various generations…but with one common denominator: these barricades were made up of Nicaragua's workers. In practice, everyone learned from everyone, and natural leaders emerged from the heart of the neighborhoods who often were not part of any of the official structures of the Sandinista Front.
This was political education in practice: young people learned what it means to be a Sandinista, the principles and values of the historic militancy, the historical burden behind their actions. These young people respected and valued the bravery and knowledge of the old guard, while elders respected the strengths of the young people and their understanding of the impact of social media. Since the highways were shut down by rightwing roadblocks, Sandinistas across the country organized themselves to distribute locally sourced food.
The elite in Nicaragua has long believed that the people are ignorant, or "innocent" as the oligarchy's newspaper, La Prensa, puts it. They assumed that if denied their ability to live normally and safely, Nicaraguans would demand a new government. The plan backfired, and the Sandinista Front mobilized more people in the street from April to September of 2018 than in any other period in its history.
During this period, Nicaraguans saw themselves in a new light and were forced to reckon with the strengths and weaknesses of the political process, of living in a capitalist country with a socialist government, under the shadow of the United States. Above all, those three months of resistance clearly demonstrated the immense courage of the people of Nicaragua, especially those without land, without a car, the workers from the inner-city neighborhoods. History again demonstrated the Nicaraguan people's capacity for resistance and survival, dignity and strength. It was the people's wisdom that defeated the coup.
