As the 2017-18 NFL Season kicks off at stadia across the US, football fans will be treated to enhanced food and beverage options from national foodservice providers using Gallery carts, kiosks and portables.
For more than 30 years, the company has been the leading manufacturer of mobile carts used in major NFL stadiums such as Sports Authority Field in Denver, the Seattle Seahawks' Century Link Field, and the new Atlanta Falcons Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Today's NFL fan wants fresher, healthier, and quicker food options, as well as drink choices beyond standard beers. There are incredible new food concepts at stadiums this season and Gallery is thrilled to work with the nation's largest foodservice providers to deliver hot, fresh and interesting food choices.
We are constantly experimenting with new looks, materials and design techniques to help our partners bring new culinary experiences to sports fans everywhere.
Among the latest cutting-edge carts designs by Gallery, features include LCD screens, enhanced lighting solutions, and draft cocktails, as well as custom action stations, buffets and chef-involved carts for NFL stadium suite levels.
The carts are designed to enhance the vibe of sleek, ultra-modern stadiums and attract customers to try to new foods.
Obviously concessions and merchandising are vital parts of Super Bowl festivities, and having them look great, run smoothly and quickly serve more than 66,000 fans is imperative.
We designed and installed nearly 100 carts and kiosks throughout the suite, club, and concourse levels at US Bank Stadium and these carts feature some of our newest concepts like stand-alone units, action stations, complete bars, dessert carts and portable mini-carts.

Sun Mee Chomet and Katie Hae Leo are finding that their experiences as Korean American adoptees are resonating with far larger an audience than they ever imagined.
The two joined forces to create The Origin(s) Project – essentially two one-woman shows, back to back – which they staged at Dreamland Arts in St. Paul this past June.
The show was such a success that, just five months later, they've brought it back for another run.
Their two stories look at the experience of being a Korean-American adoptee from two different angles, but both raise issues universal to the adoption experience.
In Sun Mee Chomet's "How to be a Korean Woman" she details the longing an adoptee feels to connect with their birth family, no matter how wonderful their adoptive parents are.
"In 2009 I decided to search for my birth family – a serious search. I went to Korea and like many adoptees from my generation I found that there isn't much information because of the poor records kept," Chomet explained.
In "How to Be a Korean Woman," Sun Mee Chomet recounts her search for her birth family, and the harsh truths she learned in the process.
Chomet eventually reconnected with her birth mother, but it wasn't the happy reunion she imagined. The experience overtook her life, and her art.
Chomet explains that as the first major group of international adoptees, Korean Americans don't have any role models to help them navigate the search for – or reunion with – birth families.
While Chomet's story took her to Korea, Katie Hae Leo's journey was a more internal one. Her story, "N/A," explores the frustration of suffering illness, but having no family medical history to help diagnose what's wrong. How do you fill in all the information about your body when you have no connection to your family?
"I think you do what a lot of us have done since we were kids which is make up stories. I remember when I was young having this image in my head of what my birth mom was like. And that's based on what my parents told me based on what the adoption agency told them," said Leo.
Leo said that over time she's learned to see her body as source for clues about the birth family she may never meet.
"We were nervous about having parents come because I think adoptees often edit how much they long for their birth families, because they don't want to hurt their adoptive families," explained Chomet.
"We had spouses write that this show cracked open conversations that they hadn't been able to have before in their marriage," added Leo.
Non Korean adoptees came to the shows first run as well, including a group from AFAAD (Adopted and Fostered Adults of the African Diaspora).
Now, as they prepare for the second run, Leo reflects that maybe it's not so surprising the show resonates with audiences.
"The heart of this play is about human longing," said Leo. "It goes beyond human adoption, to how we wonder about our past.
The Origin(s) Project runs October 25 thru November 3 at Dreamland Arts in St. Paul. After the run Leo plans to take a break from performing to focus on finishing the book that inspired her half of the show.
Chomet has plans to perform "How to Be a Korean Woman" at the Asian Artists Initiative in Philadelphia in December, at the Rochester Civic Theater in January, and in Seoul, Korea at The IKAA Gathering – a major conference for adoptees – in August 2013.

Young The Giant - Mind Over Matter Album Review
By Alex Lai in Music Reviews on 12 August 2014
California quintet Young The Giant follow up their self-titled debut with their first record for Fueled By Ramen, home to the likes of Paramore and Panic! At The Disco. The band are currently on a gargantuan tour of their homeland, which will see them on the road through to the beginning of October.
Given that their label has a roster of punk-rockers, you would be forgiven for approaching Young The Giant with that kind of expectation but, after an irrelevant intro track, 'Anagram' instead introduces a pop-rock band featuring the very smooth vocal talents of Sameer Gadhia. Whilst the track itself doesn't particularly stand out, his soulful voice certainly makes an impression and shows adaptability for the heavier 'It's About Time'.
A tepid start gets blown away by the unashamed pop melody of 'Crystallized'; a sweet summer anthem that commands a place your head. Unfortunately, this proves to be an early peak for 'Mind Over Matter', although the title track and recent single is a shimmering slice of cool demonstrating that Young The Giant are capable of sweeping numbers.

2013 AV Fest And Hideout Block Party Makes Memorable Start To Autumn Festivals
By Holly Williams in Music / Festivals on 10 September 2013
Neko Case Mavis Staples Superchunk The Hold Steady Young The Giant
Chicago proves great things come in small packages with this year's impressive AV Fest/The Hideout Block Party line-up.
The AV Fest and Hideout Block Party mark one of the most chilled out, family friendly and joyful small music event of the year as it kick starts the autumn with some talented artists.
There have been some pretty impressive festival line-ups from a variety of major Chicago festivals including the likes of Lollapalooza and Pitchfork, but the smaller, lesser known events should not be forgotten in their role of making the 2013 summer one of the best. The Onion's AV Club and The Hideout had banded together for their seventeenth annual AV Fest/Hideout Block Party; a two-day event over the September 6th - 7th weekend with tickets priced between $30 and $70 that takes place at The Hideout bar in Chicago, Illinois; and it was certainly one to remember.

Young The Giant, Young The Giant Album Review
By Nick Gale in Music Reviews on 27 September 2011
Young The Giant are good at many things. Offering unique market penetration within the core 16-25 age bracket. Cutting across traditional customer demographics. Tapping into key commercial trends. That sort of thing. In many ways, they're a record company's dream: articulate, enthusiastic, happy to pose with earnest expressions for stylised photographs taken on windswept beaches, and committed to making accessible, straightforward indie rock. There's one problem: the music. It's competently played, and it ticks most of the right boxes on the consumer response questionnaire, but it lacks sparkle. The band's self-titled d'but offers a lot of polite emoting, but relatively little inspiration.

Asian shares in tight range ahead of U.S.-China trade talks By Reuters	No ratings yet.
SYDNEY (Reuters) – Asian shares started thе week on thе backfoot on Monday аѕ worries about global growth, U.S. politics аnd thе ongoing Sino-U.S. tariff war kept investors cautious, while thе safe-haven greenback held near a six-week top against major currencies.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was a tad weaker after іt was toppled from a four-month top on Friday.
Trading volumes are expected tо bе thin with Japan on public holiday, while Chinese markets reopen after a week-long break fоr thе Lunar New Year holiday.
World stocks ended last week іn thе red amid uncertainty about global economic growth аnd trade tensions, posting their first weekly drop thіѕ year.
Still, Wall Street's main equity indexes recouped losses late on Friday, with thе benchmark ending marginally positive аnd thе Nasdaq adding 0.14 percent. The fell 0.25 percent.
Investors are looking ahead tо trade talks thіѕ week with a delegation of U.S. officials traveling tо China fоr thе next round of negotiations.
Of recent concern tо markets was thе collapse іn talks between U.S. Democrat аnd Republican lawmakers over thе weekend amid a clash over immigrant detention policy, raising fears of another government shutdown.
That development comes іn thе wake of other news headlines that markets hаvе had tо process since late last week. These include a sharp downgrade tо euro zone growth thіѕ year аnd next аnd U.S. President Donald Trump's declaration that hе had no plans tо meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping before a March 1 deadline tо achieve a trade deal.
"Growth іѕ probably thе big area of risk – thе U.S. іѕ still on a healthy track but China stabilization іѕ more hope than reality аt thе moment while European momentum continues tо soften," JPMorgan (NYSE:) analysts said іn a note.
"Investors hаvе plenty tо bе nervous about, including thе ongoing growth softness іn Europe аnd thе risk thіѕ drags thе other major geographies down with it," thеу added.
Markets will closely watch earnings from major U.S. companies including Coca-Cola (NYSE:) Co, PepsiCo (NASDAQ:) Inc, Walmart (NYSE:) Inc, Home Depot Inc (NYSE:), Macy's Inc аnd Gap Inc (NYSE:) fоr further clues about thе health of thе consumer sector.
Analysts now expect first-quarter earnings fоr S&P 500 companies tо decline 0.1 percent from a year earlier, which would bе thе first such quarterly profit decline since 2016, according tо IBES data from Refinitiv.
In currency markets, thе dollar held near a six-week high around 96.665 against a basket of currencies, аnd had its strongest weekly gain іn six months, аѕ traders piled into thе greenback іn a safe-haven move.
The euro was slightly weaker аt $1.1321 while sterling down 0.1 percent аt $1.2933.
The Australian dollar hovered near one-month lows after thе country's central bank shifted away from a previous tightening bias tо say rates could now go іn either direction.
The was last аt $0.7092 after going аѕ deep аѕ $0.7060 on Friday.

Situated in the heart of Clifton lies a wonderful theatre showcasing young talent, touring shows and comedy
Opened in 1966 by Clifton College, eager volunteer pupils helped to complete the building before it became one of the must-visit venues of the city. It wasn't until the 1970s that the decision was made to hire the theatre out to local amateur dramatic groups - since then the theatre's repertoire has continued to grow. Today, the theatre showcases an impressive array of operas, musicals, comedy, theatre and dance.
With an impressive 315-seat auditorium and excellent acoustics and lighting, a visit to the Redgrave Theatre is a treat for everybody, and a favourite Bristolian past-time.
Close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Clifton Village, the Redgrave theatre is the perfect spot to spend an evening after a day visiting the sites of the area.
Clifton College student Sir Michael Redgrave opened The Clifton College Theatre in 1966 - it wasn't until after Redgrave's death in 1985 that the theatre's name was officially changed to mark the life of one of Clifton College's most famous students.

Queensmead Primary Academy - What is the SEN Register?
The SEN Register is the record we keep of all the children who may need additional support in their learning because they experience some sort of difficulty with learning. Some children are on the SEN Register for only a short time, some will need support for a few years and others will remain on it throughout their time at school.
With some children their area of difficulty is clear. With other children the actual difficulty is less clear and may need more investigation, but because they are not making good progress, additional support needs to be put in place.
Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) -this has replaced the old 'Statements'.
Click on the link below for an explanation of these different stages on the SEN Register, what support children get at different stages, how progress is monitored and how parents are kept informed.


When I first moved back to this part of the world, one of my biggest joys was discovering new woods and forests suitable for walking with The Hound. One of the first I discovered has now become a perennial favourite – Creech Wood – and "he himself" has nominated it a four paw print walk!
A recommendation from another dog walker first led me to the village of Denmead and this particular woodland. Like Queen's Enclosure and Park Wood, Waterlooville, it is another remnant of the ancient Forest of Bere that used to cover southern England.
Operated by the Forestry Commission, Creech Wood is 185 hectares in size and is split in two by Bunkers Hill Road which incidentally, is where you find the car park. It's mainly a coniferous woodland with some areas of beech and oak trees.
Very pretty & well maintained, there's an added bonus of an unusual children's playground which seems to have been made from fallen trees in the forest.
That is guaranteed to keep both the rug rats – and certain puppies when the coast is clear – happy!

The Basilica of the Twenty-Six Holy Martyrs of Japan (日本二十六聖殉教者聖堂) also  is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and Co-cathedral in Nagasaki, Japan, built soon after the end of the Japanese government's Seclusion Policy in 1853. It is also known as the Church of the 26 Japanese Martyrs. For many years it was the only Western-style building declared a national treasure, and is said to be the oldest Christian church in Japan.

History
In 1863, two French priests from the Société des Missions Étrangères, Fathers Louis Furet and Bernard Petitjean, landed in Nagasaki with the intention of building a church honoring the Twenty-Six Martyrs of Japan, eight European priests, one Mexican priest and seventeen Japanese Christians who were crucified in 1597 by order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The church was finished in 1864. Constructed by the master carpenter of the Glover Residence, Koyama Hidenoshin, it was originally a small wooden church with three aisles and three octagonal towers. The present structure is a much larger Gothic basilica that dates from around 1879. This version was built of white stuccoed brick with five aisles, vaulted ceilings, and one octagonal tower. The design most likely came from a Belgian plan used by Catholic missionaries in an earlier church built in Osaka. The stained glass windows were imported from France.

On March 17, 1865, shortly after the completion of the original cathedral, Father Petitjean saw a group of people standing in front of the cathedral. They indicated to the priest that they wanted him to open the doors. As the priest knelt at the altar, an old woman from the group approached him and said "The heart (faith) of all of us is the same as yours. Where is the statue of Holy Mary?" Petitjean discovered that these people were from the nearby village of Urakami and were Kakure Kirishitans, descendants of early Japanese Christians who went into hiding after the Shimabara Rebellion in the 1630s. A white marble statue of the Virgin Mary was imported from France and erected in the church to commemorate this event. The bronze relief in the courtyard below the church shows the memorable scene of the discovery. Before long, tens of thousands of underground Christians came out of hiding in the Nagasaki area. News of this reached Pope Pius IX, who declared this "the miracle of the Orient."

Ōura Cathedral was designated as a National Treasure in 1933. During World War II, the cathedral was damaged by the atomic bomb on August 9, 1945. Artefacts from the damage are in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum.

The National Treasure designation was affirmed on March 31, 1953 under the 1951 Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties. It was the first Western-style building in Japan to be given this honor and had been the only one until 2009 when the neo-Baroque Akasaka Palace was designated a National Treasure.

The church was granted status as a minor basilica by the Holy See on April 26, 2016

On June 30, 2018 Ōura Cathedral, along with 11 other sites linked to Catholic persecution in Japan, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Olivia Porter re-signs with Sydney Thunder for two years
Olivia Porter © Sydney Thunder
Olivia Porter, the fast-bowling all-rounder, has re-signed with Sydney Thunder for two years ahead of the seventh edition of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), the club announced on Thursday (July 1).
Porter suffered a major injury- a tibial stress reaction in her right leg before her first WBBL campaign last season in WBBL 06. The timing of her leg injury also meant Porter could not be part of the Thunder's WBBL 06 success from within the group due to COVID-19 protocols.
"It's incredible. I've supported the Thunder right from the beginning," said Porter, who joined Thunder as a local replacement player in WBBL05. "To make my debut this season would be an incredible experience and that's always been a lifetime goal of mine. Definitely, top of the rank."
"(The team's success) inspired me so much to really work hard this pre-season and I just can't wait to get in there and see first-hand what a championship side looks like, on and off the field."

Porter grew up in Gladesville and participated in Underage National Championships for a number of years, where she played with Hannah Darlington, a regular in the Thunder outfit. She also made her debut in the Women's National Cricket League for ACT Meteors earlier this year.
"I really felt for Olivia last year," said Leah Poulton, Head of Female Cricket at New South Wales.
"She'd done all the right things to get herself ready to participate. She's a talented all-rounder with excellent changes of pace with the ball and someone who can change the game in the field."

L'alta moda o haute couture è il settore dell'abbigliamento nel quale operano i creatori di abiti di lusso.

Storia
L'industria Couture nacque nel 1850  a Parigi dove i migliori stilisti organizzavano, per i loro clienti più esclusivi, delle piccole presentazioni nelle loro maison. Il primato di Parigi rimane per decenni indiscusso in Europa e nel mondo. Nel 1951 il marchese Giovanni Battista Giorgini, un brillante imprenditore, lancia l'alta moda italiana organizzando a Firenze, per la stampa, clienti dell'aristocrazia e acquirenti americani, le prime sfilate dei principali stilisti italiani come Schubert, Antonelli,  Carosa, Ferdinandi, Simonetta, Fabiani, Mingolini-Gugenheim, Garnett, Giovannelli-Sciarra, Veneziani, Marucelli e le sorelle Fontana. L'esordio dell'alta moda italiana avviene il 12 febbraio 1951 nella abitazione privata di Giorgini, ma già dall'anno successivo viene utilizzata la Sala Bianca di Palazzo Pitti che sarà per anni la storica sede della moda italiana. In quella occasione Giorgini lanciò anche il diciottenne Roberto Capucci di cui nel 2019 Anna Fendi nel docu-film La moda proibita di Ottavio Rosati dirà: Roberto Capucci è il Dio della moda. L'ha fatta lui, l'ha inventata lui l'alta moda italiana. .

Diffusione
Il settore ruota attorno a varie case di moda, alcune delle quali assai antiche, conosciute grazie a marchi ben pubblicizzati presso il grande pubblico. L'Alta Moda ha per oggetto creazioni lussuose e straordinarie e su misura destinate a una clientela di lusso. I principali esponenti dell'Haute Couture in Europa sono Dior, Versace, Chanel, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Armani, Valentino, Lagerfeld e Vuitton che in modalità varie affiancano alle collezioni di Alta Moda una produzione di abiti confezionati in vendita in negozi di vari paesi. In ognuna di queste case lavorano grandi stilisti, disegnatori e addetti al marketing. Essi propongono le loro innovative creazioni per mezzo di sfilate di moda aperte alla stampa e ai compratori (buyers), con l'intento di anticipare le tendenze della moda. Alcune case d'alta moda sono proprietarie di marchi dedicati ai settori del prêt-à-porter e degli accessori.

This is the sixth in a series of posts responding to a list of 20 arguments for the existence of god from this article. To be fair, the article does state that these arguments don't make a case except when taken all together, using the metaphor of a rope, but I am analyzing them individually so I have responses when I encounter the argument later in other sources.
I've been hesitating in addressing this argument. As I mentioned last week, I've been having some personal struggles, but the main reason is that there are so many refutations of this argument out there already, by tons of people both better educated in philosophy and probably smarter than I am. In fact, I'm going to end this post with some links to other people's work on the topic, because I have a feeling mine won't measure up to what I can find in about 5 minutes on google. Spoiler alert: intellectual laziness and firm adherence to the god theory are the only real reasons to accept this argument, recently made famous by William Lane Craig. However, I'll be responding to Peter Kreeft's version.
This sort of demonstration has had a long and wide appeal among both Christians and Muslims. Its form is simple and straightforward.
It's nice of him to start off with a dig at higher education. It couldn't possibly be that the studies of graduate level science or other subjects might include evidence that some things might come into being without a cause; no, they have just fooled themselves so they can be atheists and/or pretend they are smarter than everyone. Ahem.
As I mentioned in my post on the argument from efficient causality, we don't have the language to speak coherently about the cause of time, because to say something was "caused to exist" is to say that it did not exist at one point in time, but did in another. Further, as I think I've explained before (although I'm unsure where), infinity does not have to be unbound in both directions. Even if a task had an infinite number of steps, the first step would be just that, the first step; it would not have an infinity of steps preceding it, just as the number 1 is the first positive whole number in an infinite series but is not preceded by an infinity of positive whole numbers. Indeed, every step in an infinite task would be preceded with a finite number of steps, because we can count forever and the previous number will always be n-1, not infinity. It's true that it could never be completed, because there would always be +1 steps left, but Peter Kreeft simply doesn't appear to understand counting. To be fair, infinity is quite difficult to grasp, but that just means our first instincts on the matter are likely to be wrong.
I'm not going to bother responding to most of the rest of Kreeft's "defense" here, but the last part is actually a way of phrasing one of my objections.
My way of putting it is that, even if we grant the argument, it doesn't prove a god. Even if we accept a first cause, there's no actual reason to assume that it is a being and not an object. Saying "it is hard to see how the universe could be anything but infinitely old" does not mean it isn't, just as my saying that it is hard to see how anyone could be Catholic does not means Catholics don't exist. I also enjoy his open admission that no proof can show the Christian god per se, but he is wrong about this argument showing "that there is a Maker of heaven and earth" because unless he means space, he hasn't shown that heaven exists, either, let alone a maker of it.
One final thought is that I have no good reason to see why this is anything but arbitrarily stopping the chain of causality where it is convenient for theology. In other words, what caused god? If an infinitely existing universe is philosophically impossible, why is an infinitely existing god philosophically possible? Indeed, under an infinitely existing god, it is equally true to say that "it is hard to see how the universe could be anything but infinitely old, since all the conditions needed for the being of the universe would exist from all eternity". After all, at what point in infinite timeless existence did this alleged god decide to cause a universe? Was that always his plan? Was it the first thing he did? What caused him to make that choice? Did he undergo a change to do so? Doesn't that undermine his perfection, if he did? Wouldn't his deciding to make a universe if he hadn't before made the decision require time before time began? Etc, etc, and so forth. Not only is the argument begging the question in that it assumes there must be a cause so it can prove the cause is god, but there's no reason to see why we couldn't apply the same logic to god.
Now, for the list of other people's counter arguments. It is perhaps worth noting that I had only seen number 2 before I started writing this post, to the best of my knowledge, although some of my ideas here were not original to me and even the ones that were appear in many of these videos and/or articles.
It is my contention that apologists argue that infinite regress is a problem mostly because they do not understand the nature of infinity. To be fair, as you mention, "infinity" is a fairly complex topic which is not well understood by many people; but if one wants to build an argument based on the properties of infinity, they should take the time to understand the subject.
You give a great, easy to understand depiction of a unidirectional infinity (the positive, natural numbers). But things get even worse for the apologist: even a bidirectional infinity can actually be bounded. Take, for example, the set of all real numbers which are greater than 0 but less than 1. Here, we have an infinite amount of numbers which, nonetheless, are entirely bound between two finite values.
Even more to the point than that, the infinite regress "problem" is only actually problematic if one presumes the Tensed theory of time (as William Lane Craig does). On a Tenseless theory of time, bidirectionally infinite time does not pose any real mathematical problems, in and of itself. My "WLC on Time" series on my page goes into some lovely detail on why the Tensed theory of time is as much an antiquated philosophical relic as is geocentrism.
D'oh! I completely forgot about the infinity between 0 and 1 (or any two whole numbers, really). Thanks for the reminder!
It is unclear from the page I'm using whether Peter Kreeft is aware of Tenseless theories of time, so I avoided the topic because I haven't researched it yet and I'm not responding specifically to WLC's version of the argument. I'll definitely have to check out your series when I do my review of Reasonable Faith, though, if not before.
It continues to astound me how very many problems these arguments contain upon examination, perhaps especially those that seem reasonable on the surface, like this "First Cause" type argument.
I really liked your argument here. I don't really have anything to add (partly because I'm sick of talking about it). Good job.


Sacrilege! A cup holder in an Alfa!
With the days until we set of for California via Route 66 winding down I've got a few more items to add to the super to make the long drive more pleasant. Today I built a 2 cup and cell phone holder. Too often my coffee tips over – but no longer. Plus I can stand my in-car espresso maker up in it and have fresh shots on the road!
Built from some thin plywood I picked up at Michael's arts and crafts. Top part was cut to size and shape of the tray, sides were about 3 inches high and fold flat for storage under the seat. Quick spray with some vinyl adhesive and Voilà!

Canto XLV
Canto XLV Quotes
seeth no man Gonzaga his heirs and his concubines (11)
To really get the gist of this line, you need to know that Pound is referring to Francesco Gonzaga, a rich dude who lived in Mantua (that's in Italy) back in the old days. Here, Pound is implying that in ye olden times, people like Gonzaga were willing to pay artists to create great art without any expectation that they would make money off the art some day. The idea of having something beautiful was way more important than having money. Pound wishes people still felt that way.
no picture is made to endure nor to live with
but it is made to sell and sell quickly (12-13)
Unfortunately, artists nowadays don't always have some rich patron to take care of them. Instead, they have to create art that they can make money off of if they plan on oh, you know, feeding themselves. For Pound, though, this is a terrible part of modern life, because it encourages greed in artists, who can't do their work well if they're thinking about selling it to some ordinary Joe. Beauty needs to be their first priority. In other words, Pound wishes there were still rich patrons who would pay artists to create beautiful work.
Pietro Lombardo
came not by usura (28-29)
Pound offers us a lengthy list of people who never would have become great artists in a world with moneylending and modern finance. In other words, he says that great artists would never have existed if the old world had chased money the same way the modern one does. Beautiful art is completely incompatible with a desire to make profits, and the modern world always tends to side with profit over beauty.
Not by usura St Trophime
Not by usura Saint Hilaire (35-36)
After he's listed the great artists who couldn't exist in a world with usura, Pound then claims that beautiful buildings like St Trophime and Saint Hilaire never would have been built in the modern age, either. If you take a look at modern buildings, they're usually built out of cheap materials instead of pure stone, and they aren't covered with a ton of fancy statues. But stuff that's beautiful doesn't always care about how much things cost. Just take a look at this modern church, which Pound would no doubt be proud to see. Whoever got this thing built definitely wasn't concerned about how much it cost.
Strength and Skill
According to Pound, modern art isn't built to last, but only to sell. In other words, artists don't make art anymore wondering if people will still like it in 100 years. They only care about whether someone right now will be willing to pay money for it.
Stonecutter is kept from his stone
weaver is kept from his loom (21-22)
In a world where people can just make money off of other money (like playing the stock market), truly talented people don't bother producing anything real anymore. Pound decides to symbolize this lack of production by claiming that usura keeps a stonecutter from his stone. His phrasing here suggests that usura has somehow ruined the destiny of the stonecutter, who was born to work with stone but doesn't because of usura.
wool comes not to market
sheep bringeth no gain with usura (24-25)
Continuing with his theme of hating on usura, Pound here says that basically nothing gets done if everyone decides they just want to make money off of banks and stocks. For Pound, it makes no sense at all to live in a world where people just make money off of money. If everyone did that, then nothing would ever actually get done in the real world.
[…] usura
blunteth the needle in the maid's hand
and stoppeth the spinner's cunning (27-28)
If Pound's starting to sound repetitive here, it's because he is. Again, he tries to drive home the point that nothing productive can happen if people just make money off of their own money.
Usura rusteth the chisel
It rusteth the craft and the craftsman
It gnaweth the thread in the loom (38-39)
Usura has a way of ruining pretty much everything it touches. But what bothers Pound the most is that usura ruins people's ability to create beautiful objects. So when he says that usura "rusteth the chisel," he's saying that beauty—the most important aspect of all human creation—is made impossible in a world with usura.
None learneth to weave gold in her pattern (40)
Sure, it's all well and good to weave gold into whatever you're making. But hey, gold is expensive and tough to weave. So why bother, right? Most customers aren't going to fully appreciate it. Well this is exactly the kind of thinking that usura causes, according to Pound. The main question we ask of what we make is, "How cheaply can I make this?" instead of "How beautifully can I make this?"
It stayeth the young man's courting (44)
On a symbolic note, Pound claims here that usura stops young men from asking young women out on dates, and keeps new love from blossoming. On a more literal note, though, young people might not have as much time to meet new people and date because they're too busy trying to make enough money for a good house and a car. In any case, Pound is basically saying here that usura corrupts relationships between people and stops real love from growing.
It has brought palsey to bed (45)
Hey, not only does Pound say usura is lousy. He also says that making your money off of other money instead of producing something real is actually the same thing as being paralyzed in bed, or to put it more bluntly, being sexually impotent. Just a little something to think about for all the businessmen who think they're "real men" because they're rich and have nice cars.
[…] it lyeth between the young bride and her bridegroom" (46)
Not only has usura ruined the relationships between people, but it's apparently also ruined the act of sex, making people paralyzed in bed. After all, money is the number one reason for divorce in North America. So Pound might be right about this one.
CONTRA NATURAM (47)
In case we didn't get his point loud and clear, Pound helps close Canto XLV by yelling that usura is against nature in all caps and in Latin. He's definitely trying to give us a sense of how beautiful human nature can be, and of how brutally our obsession with money can warp our true nature.
They have brought whores for Eleusis (48)
For starters, Eleusis was the name of a town in Ancient Greece where people got together and celebrated fertility—or in other words, people's ability to sexually reproduce. But instead of fertility being a beautiful and sacred thing, Pound suggests here that people who practice usura end up bringing dishonor to the most sacred aspects of our lives. It's a shame that Pound chooses to symbolize dishonor with the image of prostitutes, but that's basically the point he's trying to make here.
with usura, sin against nature,
is they bread ever more of stale rags (14-15)
Well he ain't exactly being subtle here. Pound calls usura a sin against nature, claiming that it turns our bread into stale rags. He's probably talking about the Christian symbol of the bread of life, meaning the stuff that our souls need to feed on in order to be healthy. But our spiritual bread of life is turned to rags by usura, and so all of us feel a quiet despair about the future, whether we know it or not.
with usura is no clear demarcation
and no man can find site for his dwelling (19-20)
Again, Pound comes at us full bore with Biblical words like "dwelling" to talk about what people lose when they start engaging in moneylending and speculation. According to Pound, people somehow lose the ability to draw clear boundary lines and build their houses. It's not quite clear how this is the case, but Pound might mean it symbolically to suggest that no one can have a clear sense of "home" in a world constantly turned upside-down by money and numbers.
Usura is a murrain (26)
Many of us have probably never read the word "murrain" before. But it's basically just a synonym for "plague" or "sickness." Saying that usury is a sickness allows Pound to connect the practice of usury with having a soul that isn't healthy.
Came no church of cut stone signed: Adamo me fecit (34)
One of the first things to suffer from usura is churches, since churches aren't built with cheap, efficient budgets like most modern buildings are. Churches are built to be beautiful and to inspire faith in the power and goodness of God. But in a world that cares only about money, these beautiful things don't get built because they aren't cost-effective.
Pound mentions two examples of churches that he finds especially beautiful, but only for the sake of saying that these churches can't be built in a world with usura. Nothing beautiful can be built at all. But the fact that it's specifically churches that can't be built allows Pound to make his connection between usura and the failure of religious faith in the modern world.
It's in Latin and it's all caps. Hard to miss it when Pound basically yells in our faces the phrase "AGAINST NATURE." Here, he sounds like he's taking on the voice of God, telling us that usura is a sin against nature and implying that we'll all be doomed to hell (or something like it) if we choose to make money without actually contributing anything to the world.


What is Omnichannel – The term omnichannel has evolved in response to the varying demands of the contact center industry over the last 10 years. Voice dominated the call center arena for many years, with additional forms of communication handled in a vacuum, usually through disparate systems and segmented teams of agents.
As the thirst for contact center efficiencies increased and varying digital channels were adopted, it became necessary for the contact center industry to provide the framework to support such a shift. The initial shift came in the form of multi-channel, where new inbound contacts, such as email and chat, were supported, but such interactions were handled in a segmented manner, often requiring different systems, which resulted in agent application bounce, where an agent has to use several applications through multiple windows. The biggest drawback for this type of system is the lack of aligned MIS and customer history, which stifles the agent's ability to view the customer's interactions – this view is often referred to as a 360 degree view.
The logical progression beyond multi-channel is omnichannel, where the walls endemic to the segmented approach were broken down to allow views of each customer's entire history, regardless of inbound channel. Omnichannel allows for enriched customer experiences through the customer's medium of choice and when this aligns with the customer's professional or personal schedules. Such functionality provides greater insight into customer behaviors and creates a tailored experience, driving contact center efficiencies, customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Conduit Global' CX100 Cloud Suite provides a full suite of omnichannel capabilities to contact centers. It's the perfect cloud contact center solution to your business move from vanilla voice or multi-channel inbound to a truly blended customer journey, one that provides immeasurable benefit to your operations and, more importantly, to your customers.

The cube is using partitioning and the _Interval_Info table's data source is a CSV file. With each partition, the incremental load strategy for this table is a full reload.  It seems from the error that the colliding member is the same as the member in question but maybe this is tied to something else? Is there a way for me to further diagnose the issue? If I load the failing partition into an empty cube, the load works without error so this is somehow tied to having certain other partitions in the cube.

Nikki Haley, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, referred to the U.N Human Rights Council (UNHRC) as the U.N.'s "greatest failure" on Wednesday.
Haley addressed Agenda Item 7, which calls for Israel's "human rights abuses" against the Palestinians be a constant agenda item for each Council meeting. In late June of this year, Western and many European states boycotted the debate, an additional sign of growing support for the Jewish state at the U.N.
The U.S. confirmed last month that it would leave the Council. "For too long, the Human Rights Council has been a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias," Haley said.

titles too? - Wapi Ndizi yangu!
up until today the weather was wonderful. then it rained and the temperature dropped something like 30 degrees. ok maybe i exagerate.
sunday i was supposed to be flying back towards kenya/sudan for more fun in the sun. but i havn't recieved payment yet and i am flat broke, so have decided to kick it in tejas for another week or so to wait for the cash flow to improve. hope this means i still have a job when i get back.
comment on tsunami. its a horrible thing that has happened and it is encouraging to see the generosity of so many nations and the action that is taking place to relieve the suffering. just hope that in middle of the barrage of information and images of catastrophe, that all the other places suffering from both natural and man-made disasters around this fine planet don't lose out and end up being forgotten for another 20 years or so.

The recent Congressional testimony by genocide abettor and perjuror Elliott Abrams has brought his case to some attention, thanks to pointed questioning by Ilhan Omar, one of the most exciting and legitimately democratic Representatives in recent memory.
Which means, of course, small-minded backlash from the centrist Washington cognoscenti, as detailed in a good thread by Intercept writer Jon Schwarz.
It's easy to take potshots at a blatantly evil agent of murder like Elliott Abrams, but much more interesting is the question of why generally decent people tolerate someone as dangerous and destructive as Abrams or, say, Henry Kissinger, who was the featured speaker of MIT's inauguration of its new college for computer science last week.
Part of the defense of Abrams is that while his worst episodes are bad, his typical episode in decades of foreign policy work has been pretty vanilla.
Which is exactly what you'd expect. Everyone's a fierce advocate for human rights etc when there's nothing on the line, and most of the time, speaking at conferences or writing position papers or cultivating our relationship with Latvia or whatever, there isn't much on the line.
That's precisely why it matters so much what you do when the stakes are actually high. It's when you learn that a huge economic trade partner is collecting millions of religious minorities in concentration camps, say. It's when you learn that the right wing rebels whom you supply with weapons to destabilize a socialist ally of the Soviet Union are not just fighting against socialist troops, they're tracking down labor organizers and cutting off the heads of their entire families.
(In a very real sense, the migrant caravans that come to the US from Central Americal -- from the very countries he destabilized -- is the work of Elliott Abrams.)
Abrams' public, surface answer is pablum about human rights and the pains of establishing a democracy. But look behind the surface to the actual communications that mean something, where power is actually being wielded, and you'll find that democracy is just a side effect. It's easily discarded as a principle every single time that it comes in conflict with American military and economic control.
Abrams's real feelings about human rights are probably like Kissinger's feelings, as revealed (after painstaking pressure for decades by journalists and academics) in declassified documents. In 1973, when the US backed coup in Chile was kidnapping, torturing and murdering liberals, the US embassy wired frantically from Santiago de Chile in an effort to stop it. Not to stop the coup, mind you, just to have the military seize power from the democratically elected moderate socialist government without so much murder and torture. In reply, Kissinger scrawled back "Cut out the political science lectures".
For people like Abrams and Kissinger, kidnapping, murder and torture simply aren't part of their calculus, unless they mean they or an ally will get caught and punished for it.
Is that wrong? Are these realpolitik hawks wrong? I can't say with certainty. The few honest among them will say "Our north star was stopping the Soviets from ruling the world, and we did that by sowing chaos and murder in every democracy that didn't reject them. We can't know if it was worth it, because some of the most important actions have unknowable net consequences."
"That meant selling out Americans by letting our allies smuggle drugs to our cities to fundraise; it meant funding the rape and murder of children; it meant assassinating progressives, tearing the social fabric, leaving generations of chaos, fear, and nihilistic violence."
"But we think on the whole it was the right decision, because the Soviets had no third world empire to milk, and the USSR collapsed. We don't actually know if American imperialism is better for the world than Soviet imperialism, but it's certainly better for American wealth and power."
Even putting aside our different values and goals, I can't say if I had been in these policymakers' position, my decisions would have produced greater net justice in the world, though I do think it's likely; and I think a guiding moral principle should be to prefer to save a life concretely, even if i means risking more in the future with low certainty.
Humility in the face of the unknown is, of course, supposed to be a conservative principle, and it's telling that it's nearly impossible to find a conservative who is critical of the massively speculative social engineering project that America's aggressive imperialists carried out in Kissinger and Abrams's time.
You can pick a random progressive thinker on foreign policy, and they'll have a morally consistent philosophy that doesn't require a lifetime of lies to pursue. Not so with the neoconservatives, who lead two working lives, one essentially a long con and the other a wielding of power in its most raw and inhuman form. What we do with that fact to conclude what's right is up to each of us, but there it is.
