CHRIS POWELL: On the feast of Stephen, Connecticut eats the poor
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, tho' the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath'ring winter fuel.
The itinerant charity for which the carol recalls the good deed done by the old duke of Bohemia on the day after Christmas could not be more needed in Connecticut. Times are hard, unemployment is around 10 percent, and Connecticut's venerable home-heating charity, Operation Fuel, is practically down to the pine logs of Wenceslas' time. Operation Fuel used to start distributing emergency aid on Dec. 1, but a huge cut in its state funding has delayed assistance until January. Connecticut is straining just to see that the poor are sheltered and fed.
But someday Connecticut should start worrying about poverty as a broad public policy issue. That issue is state government's failure to alleviate poverty despite ever-increasing appropriations in the name of doing so over the last five decades. Indeed, by the measures of the anti-poverty agencies themselves, poverty in Connecticut was worse than ever even before the economic crash of the last year.
Fifty years ago Connecticut had a little poverty. Its cities had some rough sections but were generally livable and middle-class. Now Connecticut has a lot of poverty and a lot of social workers and the middle class has mostly left the cities, which are not much more than poverty laboratories, consisting mainly of the poor and those ministering to them. Judging from their results, these laboratories are run by mad scientists. The remediation of poverty has not just failed; it has made things horribly worse.
Now and then a few people in state government sense vaguely that something is wrong here. The General Assembly lately has undertaken studies of fatherlessness and the impact of the recession on children. (Flash: Both are bad for kids.) While fatherlessness long has correlated overwhelmingly with poverty and all the anti-social criteria, mere remediation of fatherlessness remains Connecticut's policy rather than prevention and discouragement. And while liberals used to urge government to address the causes rather than the symptoms of social problems, and while Connecticut may be the most liberal state, in regard to pathological poverty no one in authority in Connecticut seems interested in figuring out how to turn off the child screw-up machine.
Instead there are calls for ever more psychiatric hospitals and clinics, counselors, remedial schools and teachers, probation officers, and such to serve the increasing population of fatherless and disturbed kids. Meanwhile the courts see more miscreant men who have impregnated women they have never married or supported, and more hapless, uneducated, and unskilled young women who, in the faith that God and the departments of Social Services and Children and Families will provide, have had children by such absent men. These children renew and increase the cycle of abusers and abused.
Blotter: Robbery, drug, assault charges in Danbury
It is all the slow suicide of society, but it is also good business in Connecticut, the poor being the main pretext for the state's biggest business, which is government itself. This has been painfully apparent during the recent sessions of the General Assembly called to cope with the collapse of state government's finances. During these sessions Governor Rell and many legislators have prattled about the needs of the poor, but whenever they have finished prattling, some other service to the poor, particularly medical service, has been reduced or eliminated, while all the positions and compensations in state government employ have been neatly preserved.
With the state budget deficit growing so large as to suggest that state government will run out of cash early next year and with labor being government's biggest expense, the other day Governor Rell asked the state employee unions to negotiate financial concessions more serious than the trivial ones made last spring. Having won an agreement from the governor then to forbid layoffs, the unions told her to drop dead. Thus the governor and legislators will have no leverage with government's biggest expense until they muster the courage to repeal collective bargaining for public employees, and there will be no one to extract concessions from but the poor.
State government has never required their permission for anything; no contracts protect them. They always can be made to sacrifice so the government class doesn't have to. Again today on the Feast of Stephen in Connecticut, the poor themselves are the feast.

Original article: Idarubicin and high-dose cytarabine in the treatment of refractory and relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Summary: Between August 1985 and April 1989, 88 patients (31 children and 57 adults) with refractory of relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were treated in a cooperative Italian trial by an induction schedule of high-dose Cytarabine (HDAra-C) plus Idarubicin (IDA). Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 52 of the 88 patients (59%); 23 patients (26%) did not respond to treatment and 13 (15%) died during induction. The CR rate was significantly affected by the WBC count at the beginning of treatment and by the duration of first CR of the patients treated at first relapse. All of the patients experienced profound myelosuppression; the median time to recovery to neutrophils > 0.5 ×10 9/l was 15 days (range 4-40), and 14 days (range 3-50) to platelets > 50 × 109/l. The most common non-hematologic side effects observed were nausea and vomiting (51%), mucositis (40%) and diarrhea (23%). Twenty-one of the 52 patients who achieved CR underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT), 16 autologous and 5 allogeneic. Eleven patients relapsed at a median of 4 months (range 1-31) after the transplantation, and three patients died while in CR. Seven patients have been in continuous CR (CCR) for a median of 36 months (range 26-42 months). Thirty-one patients were not entered in the BMT program: for two adults it was too early, three adults died in CR and 25 patients relapsed at a median of four months (range 1-25). Only one adult is still in CCR at 33 months. The authors feel that a less toxic induction therapy followed by a consolidation regimen with non-cross resistant drugs, and by BMT, might achieve an improved control of the disease in this very high risk population.

Sanaa is probably my favorite Disney restaurant! The bread service is amazing. It is out of the way, but what I like to do is pair it with an Animal Kingdom day. It's only a 5 minute bus ride from AK so I'll go for lunch and then back to the park or do an early dinner there after leaving the park.
This is precisely, what I did on my last visit, I went over for a quick lunch before returning to Animal Kingdom! I can't wait to go again!

Ocean.io
Ocean.io is an ABM data provider using artificial intelligence to help sales and marketing teams focus their time, money, and effort on the right accounts.
The whole gamification reward system is just a whole other level. To me, it's absolutely surprising that other companies don't have this. It's like why not? Why wouldn't I want this?
—Michael Rosseti & Julian Berbec, Head of SDR and Head of Growth
Ocean.io is an ABM data provider using AI to help sales and marketing teams focus their time, money, and effort on the right accounts. SalesScreen's seamless onboarding gave Ocean.io real-time data and transparency instantly.
I think when you are not basing performance on data, there is such a lack of clarity on what you need to perform. And that lack of clarity becomes very stressful. I think especially for young workers, specifically SDR teams, who are usually the entry point in the startup. That's where you start if you have no experience. So it can be very difficult to feel motivated when there is a lack of clarity.
SalesScreen: How did you first hear of sales gamification?
Julian Berbec: We were originally working with another partner that had some gamification elements to their platform but it was unclear how they were pulling in data and assigning it to users, ultimately we ended up cutting ties.
So at that point, our team was growing a lot and we needed a solution.
I don't know how many meetings we took with different companies but none of them could instantly show, on a TV screen, the data from HubSpot, which I found weird and it's obviously something you guys can do. So when we reached out to you guys, we were very clear, we said this is urgent, we want to be buyers by the end of this meeting.
Talking with you guys is very pleasant, and we had no problem understanding what we needed from each other and why. It was the pleasant talks we had with the team, of course, and then how quickly everything went. So that's how it started.
Michael Rosseti: Like guys, you got something here that's really freakin' awesome! I was desperate for dashboards, not even talking about gamification. I just wanted dashboards on a TV, that's it and nobody could do that. Nobody could show me a way to put leaderboards on the TV screen. That was my starting point. And when we started talking with Tapi, the entire process was really good -killer process, and the tool so far is excellent.
SS: What were some other pain points that you needed to have alleviated?
MR: An obvious one is this gamification element but here's the thing, before I saw SalesScreen, I had no idea I could do this. I'm a gamer at heart. So when I saw the personal achievements we could set up—similar to League of Legends—it was really cool. I didn't know which one to choose, I like all of them. I can't decide!
So that was nice to have, my immediate need was to have an integration with HubSpot with a fast refresh rate. It's like, I don't want to book a meeting and see it tomorrow. The point is to have it today. I don't want to close a deal and have it display next year, I want it now, so that was huge. I couldn't understand why it takes forever to refresh which was the reason we did not buy any of the other tools that we tested. And how customizable the dashboards are is amazing and super impressive.
JB: Some of the basic functionality for dashboards just wasn't there when we were vetting other platforms. So for instance, SDR as your source which we really need, could not be pulled in without manual updates and it was like what the heck? But you guys make it super easy.
I underline this idea of personalization in the data because that's what we needed. You know, I'm sure you guys see different companies with different needs, different data, they want to show and it's very important to have that flexibility in your platform and that's where most other platforms we tried were way too rigid. We just couldn't make it work.
MR: Even with SalesScreen, it can get complex, some things we needed Bjorn (SalesScreen CSM) to help us. Sometimes you need a sales developer, but the thing is you made it so easy - 10 minutes and it's done. I send an email and it's done. It's immediate.
So to me, as an end-user, it's like, it doesn't really matter if I do it or someone else does it as long as it gets done and I don't have to wait a year for it. It's no problem whatsoever. But with the other tools, Julian has to spend an hour on a call with the developer every time he needs to change the smallest thing and that's not scalable.
SS: What is your favorite gamification element in the platform?
MR: The reward store is huge. I used to do on the whiteboard - I have two TVs and whiteboards in the room. So I used to do it manually on the whiteboard and then when he showed me the platform, I felt like I was hitting two rocks in a cave - it was so outdated.
So that is the first one and that had a huge impact across the team and got the team super excited. I took Vidar and Tapi's advice and I asked the guys, what would you like to see in the platform, they made the list and I got it approved and now it's in the platform.
So now they're excited, and they keep asking me, "when are we getting the coins?" And then I started thinking about the experience points and trying to figure out how to tie them with the coins. Initially, my idea was to give them extra coins once they level up. And then I thought, what if once you level up to a certain point, you qualify to be promoted? Maybe to a junior account exec or something. So that for me is also like whoa, this is amazing because I can utilize this. And I can link it to the entire ecosystem.
SS: What has your experience been like with SalesScreen as people managers?
JB: Something that really impressed me, and I think it's back to the initial conversation with Tapi, was when you showed us the competitions. What really impresses me is that, I think sales can have a certain type of personality, you know, and hyper-competitive personalities can take up more space than less competitive personalities. So, I think it's very important that we can have challenges and competitions for people who don't want to be first or at the top.
Because I think sales is ultimately about selling and if you're happy to do your five deals and not be first on the leaderboard, that's ok. That's also a choice and I think those people should also be in a comfortable setting. And I really appreciate it and I think it comes from a much, much more psychological angle. I think more people can be comfortable with the competitions because they help the team from different angles.
And it was really impressive that you guys had this because all the other tools we saw, even with competitions that are similar to the gaming tools it was all about who was first - it's just a race. So that was very refreshing for me at least.
MR: Completely agree. While I do like the Wolf of Wall Street kind of energy, I have people on the team who are definitely not that type and they just want to come in, be relaxed, stress-free, do what they're good at, you know, kill it but not have that stress of"I always need to be number one," I really appreciate that.
JB: It's about the data. I can draw on our experience when we started at Ocean. There was such a lack of clarity on what you need to perform to get to certain points. And that lack of clarity becomes very stressful. I think especially for young workers, and SDR teams that are usually the entry point in a startup.
So it was very difficult to always feel motivated because of this lack of clarity. And to stay curious. Give that clarity to young people that are starting as an SDR, even if they know it's what they want to do for a period of time, it's important they at least have that vision. Okay, if I do this amount of calls, close this amount of deals or close this amount of meetings, I can get to the next level.
And at that point, they have more power to ask for another kind of job or to continue on the SDR path or whatever the next step is - clarity is so important.


Costco Wholesale Corp. hopes to escape a $19.3 million judgment that it willfully deceived customers into believing they were buying Tiffany rings. Win or lose, it could create new case law on the definition of counterfeiting and calculation of trademark infringement damages.
The case presents a rare chance for a federal appeals court to parse the law's broad, nebulous definition of counterfeiting—a more severe form of trademark infringement. Since most counterfeiting cases involve fly-by-night bad actors rather than established businesses like Costco, appeals are rare and case law is limited, lawyers told Bloomberg Law.
The warehouse giant's appeal also could set new boundaries on how courts compute profit losses in trademark infringement cases. Tiffany & Co. convinced a lower court to reject Costco's claimed profit margins on its ring sales and include a share of membership dues based on industry profit margins.
Tiffany sued in 2013 over Costco's ring sales, saying that by using "Tiffany" alone on signs in display cases, Costco confused customers into thinking the rings originated from Tiffany. Costco argued the signs simply referred to a Tiffany setting, a generic term in the industry.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York sided with the luxury jeweler, calculated profit losses, and then tripled the figure under counterfeiting law to arrive at $11.1 million in profits. It also added a $8.25 million punitive damages award. The fact that Costco asked vendors to copy Tiffany designs and put the rings next to signs identifying actual brands of other luxury goods demonstrated bad faith, the court held.
Costco's appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, filed in September 2017, awaits the district court's ruling on Costco's post-judgment motion asking the court to alter its decision. Briefing on that motion concluded in October 2017.
The appeals court could "expose some issues just lurking in Lanham Act laws, as well as some unresolved issues in Second Circuit case law," Christine Haight Farley, an intellectual property law professor and trademark specialist at American University, told Bloomberg Law.
Tiffany's evidence convinced judge and jury that Costco's signs intentionally and effectively sowed consumer confusion, the benchmark for trademark infringement. But the finding of counterfeiting—a more extreme infringement involving a product "substantially indistinguishable" from another—smoothed the path to triple damages.
Neither Costco's rings themselves nor their packaging carried any Tiffany trademarks, prompting some lawyers and legal academics to question the counterfeiting ruling in a 2015 summary judgment that preceded the damages trial.
U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain ruled Costco's signs—at times near similar signs labeling bona fide luxury-branded items like Rolex watches—and specific requests for replication of Tiffany designs indicated a bad faith intent to deceive customers. She said the Lanham Act, which governs trademark law, does not require a product to bear a trademark to establish counterfeiting.
Her post-trial August 2017 final judgment also said Costco's billions in profits and court findings of bad faith undercut Costco's argument for extenuating circumstances, which the law requires to avoid trebling profits lost to counterfeiting.
The Second Circuit could take "a more nuanced approach" than Swain's application of the Lanham Act's trebling clause for counterfeiting, Jonathan Moskin, a trademark attorney at Foley & Lardner in New York, told Bloomberg Law.
Costco's tactics "made it difficult to raise the [trademark infringement] issue cleanly," Mark McKenna, University of Notre Dame trademark law professor, told Bloomberg Law. It would be "hard to describe" the rings as counterfeit, he said. And there "seems to be a watering down of the meaning of counterfeit" in both criminal and civil courts, according to McKenna, who published a research paper in April about an expanding counterfeit definition in criminal courts.
"I don't see what's gained by that. Straightforward infringement [rather than counterfeiting] would have been adequate, it seems," he said.
A Second Circuit ruling also could alter the methods for determining profits in complicated trademark infringement cases, and for when punitive damages are allowed.
Costco asserted a 10.31 percent profit margin on its rings, which Tiffany labeled "ludicrously low." Costco conceded a broader ring industry margin of 50-100 percent, and Swain used 50 percent to calculate $3.7 million in profits—lower than the jury's $5.5 million advisory verdict—before trebling it to $11.1 million.
"If I had to roll the dice on it, I would probably expect some pushback on the damages amount" if the Second Circuit rules on the case, said Edward M. Weisz, an intellectual property lawyer for Cozen O'Connor in New York. An affirmation "would make Second Circuit [infringement] defendants a little more uncomfortable," he said.
Costco said no new evidence justified Swain reversing her 2015 summary judgment finding that Tiffany failed to link membership fees to ring sales and couldn't count dues as lost profits. But after the damages trial she said Costco's "treasure hunt" marketing concept attracts bargain-hunters with razor-thin margins, and the rings therefore helped drive membership revenue.
Costco says Tiffany is barred from a punitive award because it sought an accounting of profits and not actual damages. Swain said that while circuit courts have split on the question, nothing in the Lanham Act prohibits counting profit loss as actual damages. New circuit court decisions could affect plaintiff strategy depending on when the strategy leaves a punitive award within reach.
Trademark attorney Jeffrey Van Hoosear of Knobbe, Martens, Olsen & Bear LLP agreed that Costco's tactics, like avoiding online ads, appeared evasive, given Tiffany's online vigilance. But the size of the award surprised him, and he questioned the directness of its link to damage suffered by Tiffany.
"How do you prove that someone who bought a ring at Costco would have gone into an upscale mall at Tiffany to buy the ring?" the Irvine, California, lawyer said of the profit calculation.


When it comes to tipping, knowing the general rule of thumb can really help.
Stories of disputes over tipping are common, and we're sure everyone has had at least one bad experience because of the amount of money they have tipped – be it a taxi driver, waiter or bellhop.
But unlike countries like the United States, tipping in Dubai and the UAE is customary, and not compulsory. Workers in the service sector here understand that a tip is a bonus and not a requirement from customers. Sure, tipping is common here, but it is never expected the way it is in the US, for instance.
You would never have a nasty dispute because of a tip here.
So, to help make sure you're fully confident with who, when and how much you should tip – here's our complete guide to tipping in Dubai and UAE.
Is tipping expected in Dubai?
As we've mentioned, tipping is not expected in Dubai. In fact, there's no rules when it comes to tipping in Dubai and UAE. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi are world famous for their extraordinary service levels – but tipping varies from profession to profession.
Is tipping rude in Dubai and UAE?
Whether you should tip or not tip isn't exactly related to your own culture – especially here in the UAE. Tipping is a lot about the culture of the recipient. Some may be offended at the gesture, while others may be grateful.
The social rules of tipping here are a grey-area; should you tip your hairdresser? Your nail technician? The woman who threads your eyebrows? What about petrol attendants?
But when it comes to the UAE laws of tipping – by law, you do not have to tip.
There is no law in the UAE that says you must give anyone a tip. In 2010, UAE restaurants withdrew service charges that were automatically added to a customer's bill, as this was deemed to be an act against the consumer protection law number 26.
However, if the restaurant is attached to a hotel or located in a special zone, they can legally charge a 10% fee – which many customers are not aware of.
Whether you're a tourist visiting Dubai and the UAE, or a resident living here – knowing how much to tip, when it is appropriate and who you should tip are useful things to know when out and about.
Tipping is a positive way to express delight at good service, and today many UAE residents will not tip if they have received a bad service.
Since we are in the UAE, a lot of people don't expect a tip and won't say anything to you if you don't tip them.
But if you wish to tip, the general rule of thumb to follow is 10 per cent of the final bill, or 15 per cent if you thought the service was exceptional.
Much like elsewhere, the service charges included in the overall bill are usually kept by the restaurants, and not distributed among the staff. So be sure to tip the waiters, even if there are service charges.
A lot of apps like Talabat and Zomato will include a delivery fee for their drivers; but if you don't want the drivers to fumble through their pockets looking for change and you want to show appreciate for their service, you can round it up to the nearest currency note and let them keep the change.
This includes cleaners, maintenance, movers and painters. The standard to tip is between AED 10 and AED 30, but you might be inclined to increase that to AED 40 or AED 50 if you have a significantly large task at hand. This may also vary depending on the number of staff you have hired.
Don't ever try to tip civil servants, government workers or police officials – no matter what country you're in. Anything that can be taken as a bribe can land you in jail.
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, Muslims (and non-Muslims) are encouraged to increase their acts of good deeds and charity, known as 'zakat' and 'sadaqah'.
Whilst tipping of course, is not charity, being mindful of tipping when out and about is important during the Holy Month.
Particularly when many service staff may be fasting themselves. Sure, shorter working hours help during this period, but individuals who are fasting will no doubt be tired and/or hungry.
Instead of becoming disgruntled at a poorer service, keep in mind that it is Ramadan and tip a little extra during a month of respect, awareness and selflessness.
What is the history of tipping?
The practice of tipping is believed to have began in the late Middle Ages, when a master gave his servant a few coins as an expression of good will. By the 16th Century, guests in English mansions were expected to give a "vail" or a small amount of money at the end of a visit to compensate the owner's servants.
According to Kerry Segrave, the author of Tipping: An American History of Social Gratuities, "by 1760, footmen, valets, and gentleman's servants all expected vails, leading to great expense to the guests. The gentry and aristocracy began to complain. An attempt to abolish vails in London in 1764 led to rioting."
Tipping soon spread to British commercial establishments such as hotels, pubs, and restaurants.
Prior to 1840, in America – tips were not given. But, after the Civil War, newly rich Americans visited Europe and brought the practice back home to show that they had been abroad and knew genteel customs.
By the 1900s, Americans considered tipping to be the norm and, in fact, were frequently criticized for overtipping. But in 1960, the norm changed – and Congress agreed that workers could receive a lower minimum wage if a portion of their salary came from tips. The minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13, which has not changed over the years, as long as those workers receive at least $30 per month in tips.
Many would agree that tips are in fact detrimental to those working in the service industry – and instead, their employers and companies should take good care of their staff and take responsibility for giving fair salaries.
Sure, cash is king, but there are other ways you can thank for excellent service. Many service providers like drivers, contractors and hotels, try to build their online reviews. Taking the time to leave them a positive review can be really appreciated – and it won't cost you anything.
For professionals like teachers, a gift can be a nice gesture of appreciation – and much less awkward than a cash tip. Sending a thank you card to a service provider can really make their day.
While tipping is always appreciated in Dubai and the UAE, it is rarely expected. No matter if one percent or 50 percent is given, the most important thing to do is to treat service staff with respect. After all, a smile and a thank you goes a long way.

The opening of a new museum at the Statue of Liberty has temporarily turned the 14-acre Liberty Island into a teeming hive of billionaires and stars - a gathering that President Donald Trump decided to avoid upon learning the party would be filled with Democrats.
The party on Wednesday night in New York harbor offered the ultra-wealthy elite a chance to rub shoulders at the foot of the 133-year-old statue.
At one table, Hillary Clinton was spotted chatting with Oprah Winfrey.
Before long, billionaire IAC chairman Barry Diller and his wife Diane von Furstenberg joined Clinton and Winfrey at the table.
For deep pockets, nobody could compete with richest man in the world Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, who gushed in a tweet that his Cuban immigrant father would be honored at the museum with a 'Liberty Star.'

The festivities took on a subtle but unmistakable political bent, with attendees eager to highlight Lady Liberty's role as a sight seen by many immigrants arriving at nearby Ellis Island.
President Donald Trump declined to attend the party, instead sending Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, who runs the National Park Service, which supervises Liberty Island and Ellis Island.
Instead, Trump remained in Washington DC where on Thursday he will reveal his own sweeping proposal to reform the immigration system.
Trump had originally planned to attend the party, but backed out when he learned the crowd would likely be highly hostile, a source told the New York Daily News.
In addition to Clinton, Trump's political nemeses on the guest list included New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Rep. Jerrold Nadler and Senator Chuck Schumer.
Liberal socialite Diane von Furstenberg, Diller's wife and a member of the new museum's board, was also there. She gave a rousing speech about her own immigrant roots as a native of Belgium.

The new museum at the Statue of Liberty is giving visitors another opportunity to explore its history and the impact the iconic structure has had on the world.
The 26,000-square-foot museum on Liberty Island, scheduled to open to the public on Thursday, is the new home for the statue's original torch and other artifacts which had previously been in a smaller museum space inside the statue's pedestal, which is accessible only to the fraction of the more than 4 million annual visitors who manage to get limited-availability statue entry tickets.
'We looked at this small museum and thought, wouldn't it be wonderful to... move it out to a place where more people could experience it,' said John Piltzecker, National Park Service superintendent of the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island.
The new space, located somewhat away from the entrance to the statue, is open to anyone who comes to Liberty Island, with admission included in the price of the ferry ticket.
From the outside, the glass walls and copper-colored roof appear to be rising out of the earth, with a giant staircase rising to a rooftop terrace at the center.

The entire structure is meant to connect to Lady Liberty, using the same granite that's part of the statue pedestal and including copper as a nod to the material the statue is made of, said Cameron Ringness, the project designer at FXCollaborative, which created the museum's overall design.
'It's really trying to belong to the site and the landscape and not feel like this building that just got placed here out of nowhere,' Ringness said. 'We wanted to enhance the feeling that it's really special to be in proximity to the statue.'
Inside, there are three main gallery spaces, starting with a theater where visitors walk through as they watch a film that goes into how the idea for the statue came about, the efforts that went into its making in France and its arrival in the New York harbor, as well as talking about what liberty meant then and what it means in the current day.
The film uses unusual footage taken by drones, including an interior shot rising up through the inside of the statue.
Another gallery goes into the building of the statue, with exhibits meant to show what it would have been like in Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi's studio, and the models and molds used to make it, as well as a replica of the statue's foot.
Another section shows how iconic the statue has become, not only in American culture but around the world, with items like a menorah where each candle holder is a small Lady Liberty, as well as comic book covers, decorative plates, and dolls.

Statue of Liberty: The French connection
Frenchman Edouard de Laboulaye first proposed the idea of a monument dedicated to freedom and liberty for the United States in 1865.
It was agreed that the American people were to build the pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and its assembly here in the United States.
The Statue was completed in France in July 1884 and arrived in New York Harbor in June 1885 aboard the French frigate 'Isere.' In transit, the Statue was reduced to 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates.
The Statue was reassembled on the pedestal in four months' time. On October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland oversaw the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in front of thousands of spectators.
The Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886. It stands just over 305 feet tall
The Statue is 305 feet, 1 inch from the ground to the tip of the flame. It is the equivalent height of a 22-story building. In 1886, it was the tallest structure in New York.
Visitors can climb an interior staircase to an observation area inside the statue's crown. The torch has been closed since the 'Black Tom' explosion of July 30, 1916, which was one of the largest acts of sabotage to the nation prior to the event of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
The torch is a symbol of enlightenment. The Statue of Liberty's torch symbolically lights the way to freedom showing us the path to Liberty.
Even the Statue's official name represents her most important symbol: 'Liberty Enlightening the World'.
The Statue's current replacement torch, added in 1986, is a copper flame covered in 24K gold.
It is reflective of the sun's rays in daytime and lighted by 16 floodlights at night. The original torch was removed in 1984 and has been put on display in the new museum on Liberty Island.

In the final section, visitors are encouraged to take digital self-portraits and add their thoughts on what liberty means to them, as they look at the original torch and a replica of the statue's face.
Including that last part was vital, said Edwin Schlossberg, president and principal designer at ESI Design, which created the exhibition spaces.
'This statue was built to congratulate the United States for fighting the Civil War to free the slaves,' he said. 'It is based on this idea that liberty was a critical thing that we all had to struggle for, so that idea had to continue as a core value in this experience.'
In conjunction with the museum's opening, the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, which spearheaded the effort to raise the $100 million in private-sector funds for the project, also developed an app with Apple to bring aspects of the museum to people who cannot visit in person.
Users will be able to explore the museum's life-size replica of the statue's foot, for instance. With augmented-reality technology, which superimposes animation over a real-life setting, users will be able to walk around and see the virtual replica from different perspectives. Other features include a look at the city skyline through the decades from the Statue of Liberty's eyes, as well as how the statue itself looked before its copper exterior turned green.
The app is available only on Apple mobile devices, not Android. Some features, including an audio tour, will be available only on location.
The foundation is also launching a three-part podcast exploring the statue's history and symbolism. The podcast won't be limited to Apple's podcast distribution channels.

Home > Evidence > Surveillance & Monitoring > Protected sites monitoring > 2006 Report > Detailed results > Habitats > Calcareous grasslands - upland
Upland calcareous grassland is characterised by vegetation dominated by grasses and herbs on shallow, well-drained soils which are rich in bases (principally calcium carbonate) formed by the weathering of limestone or base-rich rock. Although the base status of such soils is usually high, with a pH of above 6, it may also be more moderate and calcareous grassland communities can occur on soils with a pH as low as 5. Upland is defined as above the level of agricultural enclosure. The altitude at which this occurs varies across the UK, typically becoming lower as one travels North.
Calcareous, or limestone, grasslands contain an exceptional diversity of rare plants, but are particularly characterised by a series of widespread grassland plants which are mainly restricted to lime-rich soils. Species include grasses such as common bent Agrostis capillaris, sweet vernal grass Anthoxanthum odoratum, quaking-grass Briza media, heath-grass Danthonia decumbens, sheep's-fescue Festuca ovina, and blue moor-grass Sesleria caerulea; sedges such as hair sedge Carex capillaris, spring sedge C. caryophyllea, glaucous sedge C. flacca, and carnation sedge C. panicea; and forbs such as harebell Campanula rotundifolia, limestone bedstraw Galium sterneri, common rock-rose Helianthemum nummularium, fairy flax Linum catharticum, mossy saxifrage Saxifraga hypnoides, wild thyme Thymus polytrichus and common dog-violet Viola riviniana. Calcareous grasslands in the montane zone are included under the Montane grasslands and heaths category.

23% of upland calcareous grassland features reported are in favourable condition. This result is well below the average for terrestrial habitats, all habitats, and all features combined. 25% of the A/SSSI and 15% of SAC features reported are in favourable condition. A further 34% of A/SSSI and 20% of SAC features reported are unfavourable-recovering. These results raise serious concerns that, at more than three out of four sites, calcareous grassland features are failing to achieve favourable condition.
The reported activity that has had the greatest impact contributing to unfavourable condition on upland calcareous grassland features is over-grazing. This leads to loss of vegetation structure and the failure of more palatable or vulnerable species to reproduce and maintain themselves. It can also lead to the loss of plant species and associated fauna, and the spread of rank, unpalatable plant species. In extreme cases, very heavy grazing and trampling can lead to exposure of bare soil and erosion. There is, therefore, a need for grazing to be undertaken at the right time and with the right intensity. The reporting of measures taken to address unfavourable condition indicates that management agreements/schemes and agri-environment schemes are in place on many sites. However, it is not yet known how long it may take to return upland calcareous grassland features to favourable condition.


Monmouth men's basketball team released its 13-game non-conference schedule for the 2018-2019 season.
After an 11-20 season, which included a 7-11 record in the MAAC, Monmouth is looking to rebound in the 2018-2019 season. Experience will be the story as many young players will be expected to play significant minutes in new, expanded roles for the Hawks. However, there is no rest for the weary as Monmouth released their non-conference for the upcoming season.
Monmouth's non-conference schedule features just one team that had a losing record to go along with three conference champions. The season begins at the OceanFirst Bank Center when the Hawks takes on Lehigh on Nov. 6. They then hit the road for two road games against Colgate (Nov. 9) and Saint Joseph's (Nov. 12) before participating in the Myrtle Beach Invitational.
The Myrtle Beach Invitational is an eight-team, three-day tournament. For a team like Monmouth, this event could be a resume building weekend. Monmouth drew West Virginia (NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 participant) in their opening game on Nov. 15. Other teams that could face the Hawks are Cal State Fullerton (Big West champion), Western Kentucky and Wake Forest (coached by Danny Manning).
Monmouth's non-conference schedule also features a trip to Lexington to take on Kentucky at famed Rupp Arena. Monmouth played Kentucky at Madison Square Garden last season as the Hawks fell to the Wildcats 93-76.
The Hawks' non-conference tilt finishes with a visit to The Palestra to play Penn on New Year's Eve. In all, Monmouth plays just three games in West Long Branch for the 13 non-conference matchups. These games will be a litmus test as to what kind of team King Rice has heading into MAAC conference play. It will be sink or swim time for the Hawks, and it begins on Nov. 6th.
