Description of the painting by Ivan Aivazovsky "Alushta"
Ivan Aivazovsky created the painting "Alushta" in 1878, now it is kept in the art gallery of Theodosia, bearing the name of the artist.
The landscape depicts the Crimean city of Alushta. The image of the usual southern town transfers to the canvas master. The view of the audience opens a wonderful picture of a warm summer morning on the sea coast and majestic mountains.
It can be understood that it is the morning time depicted on the canvas due to the warm shades of paint. The air, the mountains and the sea are literally soaked with morning sunlight. And only the high mountains in the background are painted with pale and translucent bluish, and in some places even hints of silver. The sea is depicted calm, without a single wave, solemn.
Ivan Aivazovsky – marine painter, always paying close attention to his paintings of the mora and the sky. In this creation, he deviates from his rule and depicts on the shore a genre scene with small details that takes place near the walls of an ancient fortress. The picture clearly shows the fortress Aluston, built by the Roman emperor Justinian. Most likely, it depicts an important event for the history of the city. This is evidenced by a crowd of well-dressed people standing on the shore, the team in the boat, lifting the oars (giving them salute).
Brychka with two horses in front of him is driven to the shore, perhaps an important urban person. In the lower left corner of the picture are depicted under the sprawling green crown of a tree a middle-aged stout man in a black suit and two little girls dressed up in beautiful white dresses. All figures are spelled with true skill.
Aivazovsky loved to be in the south of the Crimea, he was inspired by the local landscape, beautiful nature, calm sea and majestic mountains. The artist himself said that it is impossible not to be inspired by the poetry of this place.

Coming in as an underdog in the National Student Advertising Competition in Kansas City, the University of Northern Iowa student chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF) outperformed, taking third place and besting prominent teams from larger institutions such as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Kansas in the competitive District 9 qualifiers.
UNI is the only institution in Iowa to field a team in District 9. The team of 28 students was tasked with developing a $25-million national campaign for hot dog retailer Wienerschnitzel. The company wanted teams to change the perception of the hot dog in the minds of the American consumer.
"We put in countless hours to make our campaign standout, and to walk away with third place is an honor," said Megan Schwenneker, student and director of accounts of the team.
Josie Vaughn, Devin Bennish, Megan Schwenneker, Samuel King
The team pitched a national movement to "Get Dogged" and embrace the love of hot dogs many consumers have harbored since childhood. The campaign planned a massive guerrilla marketing push where major cities would be "dogged" by Wienerschnitzel advertising and event marketing.
The campaign was done as part of the coursework for advertising campaign development, offered by the marketing department at UNI and led by instructor Matthew Wilson. According to Wilson, the course is run as an advertising agency, with student managers supervising various departments, such as media, copywriters and creatives, within the class.
"This year's challenge was seemingly impossible – to positively change deeply held perceptions of an iconic American food," said Wilson said. "Our incredible students had to push themselves very hard and truly innovate in order to create their winning campaign."
To make this campaign successful, students had to perform consumer research to discover insights that would help them build a messaging strategy in line with the client's goals. They then had to collaboratively create all of the creative work and develop an integrated media plan to connect with the campaign's target audience. Finally, students had to calculate results based on measurable data to evaluate campaign success.
After the development process, a group of students traveled to Kansas City to pitch their campaign to a panel of judges, which included a marketing manager from Wienerschnitzel.
"The competition was an absolute blast," Schwenneker said. "The weeks leading up the campaign were truly telling of each team member—no matter what the task, everyone stepped up to help make the campaign great. From practically sleepless nights to practicing the pitch time and again, it was great to see the hard work pay off at the competition."

Villa One
Let Nick Jonas and John Varvatos Re-Introduce You to Tequila
Yes, you can sip it!
I will not pretend to be a tequila expert. My most vivid memories of it are of tossing back drippy shots at crowded bars with sticky floors during my university days, squeezing a tiny dry wedge of lime into my mouth as quickly as possible to counteract the shudder-inducing taste.
That is, until I tasted Villa One tequila, a new venture from Nick Jonas—who just happened to be my teen pop star crush—and fashion designer John Varvatos, the inventor of such men's fashion innovations as boxer briefs(!). I'll admit that the notion of a "sippable" tequila was an oxymoron in my mind, and I was actually nervous to pour myself a glass without a mixer ahead of my Zoom interview with the duo (I mean—not even a chaser?!). But I should have known that Jonas and Varvatos wouldn't let me down. Instead of the cheap, fiery substance I remember throwing down my throat, this Añejo featured fragrance notes of vanilla wafer, banana and nut (tequilas have fragrance notes?!) and flavour notes of smoke, dark chocolate, honey, wood. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only could I tolerate sipping this—I really enjoyed it.
"I am equal parts a fan and founder of this thing," says Jonas via video from his home in Los Angeles (I try not to squeal as I recall attending the Lines, Vines and Trying Times tour in 2009 decked out in head-to-toe Jonas merch). Varvatos chimes in from New York City: "There is nothing about this that we are just going through the motions with. As we like to say: We wake up every morning thinking about it, and we go to sleep every night the same way."
A post shared by NICK JONɅS (@nickjonas)
I'm reassured to hear that Varvatos's first memories of tequila are similar to my own. "I was in college when I first tried it and it wasn't a great experience. There wasn't such a thing as ultra-premium tequila [in North America] at that point in time," he explains. "But then I went down to Mexico and I was shocked at how many tequilas there were. I started to really notice the difference between a cheap shot and something good, and that's the beginning of my loving tequila."
Varvatos and Jonas became fast friends after collaborating on men's fashion and fragrance campaigns for Varvatos's eponymous brand. "We knew that we were kindred spirits, and a common theme in the time we spent together was that we always finished out the night with a glass of tequila," Jonas says.
So why tequila for these two? In part, because they have a taste for the finer things. "When we took on this project, we wanted to create something like we approached the rest of our lives, which is best in class," says Varvatos. For Jonas: "I always try to find things that have the potential to become a part of the fabric of people's lives," he says. "So that's in film, television and music, obviously—and the experiences that surround those things are similar to a great night with people you love, having a great glass of tequila. It's something that I was always really interested in and had a passion for, and continuing to branch out and push myself is always a priority."
In fact, ahead of every show on the Jonas Brothers Happiness Begins tour, Nick, Joe and Kevin would take a shot of tequila backstage. "The backstage hangs were regularly an impromptu Villa One party, either post or pre-show. It created such a great energy, and getting the chance to introduce it to my family and friends in that way was really special," says Jonas. "We've now had almost a year of being in separate places, but at this moment in time, we all are together here in L.A., and so I'm sure that at some point this week we'll get together and have a glass." I cannot resist asking whether this means a Jonas Brothers reunion is in the works. Jonas responds coyly, "It's family time, first and foremost, and we will see what comes out of it."
Reunion rumours aside, Jonas has spent much of the past year at home with his wife, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, mixing up cocktails to pass the time. "I really took to mixology during this quarantine—I didn't have much else to do but come up with my own cocktails," he says. "Priyanka's favourite is Villa One Reposado and the Silver for cocktails. I'll usually mix up a Bloody Maria or Spicy Margherita for her. We both love to drink tequila, so it's nice to be able to share that."
Villa One isn't the only celeb-endorsed tequila on the block—so how does it stack up against George Clooney's Casamigos and The Rock's Teremana Blanco? "We like to think that our tequilas are much better than those," says Varvatos with a laugh. "We really have a secret weapon in our master distiller, Arturo Fuentes, which makes all the difference. We've done a ton of blind tastings against those kinds of brands, and we are very happy to say that we are pretty much always at the top of the heap. Ours is ultra-smooth."
I might just have to do a blind taste-test of my own, because while I *can* confirm this is the smoothest tequila I've ever had the luxury of sipping, Jonas and Varvatos have successfully introduced me to a whole new world. Clearly, I have some more research to do.

There's no date more synonymous with popping bottles than New Year's Eve. Consider that the iconographic shorthand for December 31 is invariably a champagne bottle, fizz pouring forth from its top like our collective tears of joy that we've somehow made it to the end of this particular chapter and get a new chance to start fresh.

It is well known that generic drugs are much cheaper than branded drugs. Therefore generic version of Levitra – "Generic Levitra" or "Levitra Generic" are much cheaper and we advise to buy generic drugs online as the active ingredients are exactly the same. In the case of Levitra the active ingredient is Vardenafil.


The last couple of days have been… interesting. I was scheduled to leave at 4:45am Monday morning (yesterday) for a business trip, so on Sunday I packed, got myself ready, and went to bed. Flash forward to Monday at 3am and I was sick as a dog with the stomach flu – I frantically called around to cancel my travel arrangements before the car service showed up at my front door.
The next several hours were progressively difficult; I was unable to keep anything down, not even water, and shed five pounds because I was so dehydrated. In the early afternoon I rallied – I felt a bit better and managed to eat four whole saltines – the crowning achievement of the day. Shortly afterwards, my fever spiked and I was feeling weaker than ever. My mom came by to check in on me, took one look at me, and made the executive decision that I needed some medical attention – off to the ER we went.
It helps to try to find at least some humor in these types of situations, so when the nurse checking me in complimented me on my Christmas-theme pajama pants, I told her she should pay close attention to the rest of my outfit: a bright pink sports bra, powder blue tank top, and bright aqua zip-up hoodie. When she asked if I needed a wheelchair to get to my room, which was at the end of one of the long, bright hallways of the ER, I decided to walk. She said she'd be right next to me if I felt faint, and joked that this way, everyone else in the ER could see my outfit. I told her that I felt like a model, strutting my stuff down the catwalk during fashion week. I considered holding up the puke bucket garbage pail that I brought from home like a trophy as I paraded down the hall… but I refrained.
It was a pretty short visit – they gave me fluids and anti-nauesa meds and I left a few hours later with strict instructions to limit my diet to the blandest of bland foods, but a fun perk was that the nurse suggested popsicles as a way to get much needed fluids and sugars back into my body. I'm feeling well enough today to write this short post, so I know I'm on the mend. Other than that, I've been cleaning out the DVR, napping, and watching solid reruns of Saved by the Bell.
The last couple of days have been a good reminder of maintaining balance – of taking the time to rest and take care of your body when it's clearly sending out distress signals. I called into the meeting that I missed by phone, and while it wasn't ideal, it sufficed. I'm lucky that I didn't get sick in Denver, or worse, en route.
That's all for now, just a quick check-in – I hope to be back to some regularly scheduled posts later this week!

What does what you say about your business say to your customers? Can they read the writing on the wall? If customers can't quickly understand just what you are offering them, it's likely you may never get the chance. No matter what your business is or how big or how small, the way you tell your story is key to success.
We have many ways to share our message.
As business owners, entrepreneurs, leaders and marketers, we have more tools at our disposal than ever before. Social media, the web, email, print, TV and radio all come together to extend our message to a wider and wider audience. The question is, when we reach our target audience, is our message clear… or cryptic?
The RIGHT message answers 5 basic questions – Who, What, When, Why, and How.
Who are you and what do you stand for. This is the primary reason we have core values and brand messages. Make sure that yours is clearly stated and repeated often.
What are you offering. It is amazing how often I see an ad or message and there is no clear value statement. If I do not know what you have to offer me then how will I know if I want it?
"When" comes next. Your when is a call to action. Is this a limited offer? Is there an incentive for acting now? Develop a sense of urgency so I, as your customer, can take you up on your offer. Mediums like electronic retail (the QVC/ShopNBC/HSN networks) and Direct Response (the infomercial crowd) have this down to an art. They clearly state the "who" and the "what" with a compelling ACT NOW messaging strategy. This is the art of timing. Just remember, when you call your customers to action, be sure you are ready to deliver. Otherwise, you just frustrate of confuse them and they will not be listening when you reach out again.
The why is a two part process. First communicate WHY you have the right product or service for your customer. This is not about you, it is ALL about them. Why is your product better for them? Why is your product different or better than their other alternatives? Why do they want to buy from you right now? Secondly – be sure to keep the promises you made in your Who, What and Why statements. The first customer experience may be a result of your marketing prowess, but customer experience will be WHY they come back to buy from you again.
This leads us to the How. When you put the writing up on the wall, be sure that you clearly state… How to reach you. How to buy from you. How customer's can use your product or service to the customer's advantage after the sale. If there is no evidence of a how, I may not buy. If there is no results from your "how" after the sale, I definitely won't be buying again.
So get your message out there and make it easy for me to understand.
I just might have a need for what YOU want to offer. Just keep in mind that customers like me are busy and you are not my highest priority…yet. Creative marketing campaigns or messages may capture my attention but if you do not clearly communicate the Who, What, When, Why and How you may have succeeded in entertaining me, but you have failed in your primary goal…engaging me as a customer today and tomorrow.

Even Apple's biggest detractors must admit that the MacBook Air is quite the machine. It's lightweight, beautifully designed, and promises uninterrupted pleasure with a long battery life. While some critics claim it is the best laptop on the market, there are two main shortcomings: it's significantly overpriced, and it runs a Mac operating system instead of the far superior and flexible Windows operating system. Fortunately, PC notebook makers have taken notice of Macbook Air's popularity due to its design, portability, and attractive Windows alternatives are flooding the market.
Last year, computer chip maker Intel introduced a new generation of Intel Core processors to encourage laptop manufacturers to create lightweight, powerful notebooks. With new processors and a desire to create a Windows laptop that can stand up to the MacBook Air, Ultrabooks were born. Ultrabooks are characterized as thin notebooks equipped with low-voltage processors, at least five hours of battery life, and fast boot times. Most Ultrabooks sport an expensive solid-state drive, so don't expect to find a $500 version.
Here are three of the top Ultrabooks that will make you think twice about purchasing Apple's MacBook Air.
A mere eight months ago, Asus was the first PC maker to release a credible Apple MacBook Air alternative. It sports a sturdy chassis case similar to the MacBook Air, gets the most out of the battery with Intel's Sandy Bridge processor, and matches Apple's best-seller in most ways except for one major flaw: a terrible trackpad.
Fortunately, Asus just released the new and improved version, the Zenbook Prime UX31A and UX21A. Most importantly, it includes the new Ivy Bridge processors, an improved matte 1080p display, and a backlit keyboard. The trackpad received a full redesign, and while it is better, it still pales in comparison to the MacBook Air's keyboard. Depending on processor choice and hardware upgrades, the Zenbook Prime will cost between $1,149 and $1,599.
aqua blue finish, and excels at streaming content.
The IdeaPad falls short with cheap speakers, which get distorted and have a lack of depth. The machine isn't powerful enough for gaming and is also bulky, weighing in at 3.8 pounds.
If you told any computer geek one year ago that Hewlett Packard would have one of the best laptops on the market, they would have laughed you out of the Windows store. A year ago Hewlett Packard was debating quitting the PC market for good. Now it has one of the best and most affordable Ultrabooks on the market.
Throw the Folio in your backpack with the charger, and you are looking at four pounds on your back. It comes with a keyboard that can compete with even Lenovo's. Other noticeable features include a large array of slots and ports and a solid-state drive promising speedy performance. Unlike many other powerful Ultrabooks, the HP Folio 13 has a battery up to the task. One standard test put battery life at over eight and a half hours. Again, it isn't built for gaming and the display could be brighter, but that's the sacrifice for a battery that can last a full day and is still portable. The HP Folio 13 is powerful, portable, and one of the best Ultrabooks on the market – especially for retailing at only $900. HP is back in the PC market in a big way, and likely to stay.
Agree that Lenovo IdeaPad may be a real alternative to Apple's MacBook. But I'm still a little suspicious of HP laptops and ultrabooks. Have they really managed to return into the game?
Howard, I share your hesitation toward HP laptops. Although my coworker loves her HP Folio, I just can't get used to the HP trackpad. The trackpad on the MacBook Air is enough to make me want to buy one.
This is such an odd assertion that I am forced to look elsewhere for advice. It's fine if you prefer one operating system to another but it is dubious if not spurious to claim that Windows is "far superior and flexible" compared to Mac OS X. Particularly with regard to Vista and Windows 7, which are not only comparatively more difficult to configure in an enterprise environment but also annoying to support.
How much you guys get from Microsoft for this 'Iraqi minister of information' kind of statement?


i know, i know. i seem to be in the minority here but i LOVED alice. i liked that alice was an adult. i liked that it was kind of dark. and i loved looking at it. it was lacking in some areas but i was giddy with ideas after watching it. the costumes, oh the costumes. and the giant toadstools. and the enormous fiddleheads. oh, i loved it so.
and i think i'm finally going to make myself this skirt, which i've been obsessed with for months since i first saw this photo. i even already have the gazillion yards of ric rac, waiting to be hand dyed.

Coolest. Skirt. EVA! But not so long maybe.
Submitted by shanalee (not verified) on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 17:32.
yeah. i'll be making it knee length. i don't do skirts that long. plus the idea of sewing another foot of length with all that ric rac gives me hives.

P'raps a majority of critics were unimpressed, but the unscientific sample of 15 people who saw it with me on my hubby's birthday all agreed that it was fanTAStic.
Especially the Cheshire Cat. And the Hatter.

You may feel immediate relief and lasting results when you integrate the ELDOA METHOD Classes and techniques into your routine.
Although new to New Zealand, the techniques used in the ELDOA METHOD Classes are being allocated to patients by Osteopaths, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and Health Practitioners all across Europe, Canada and the United States. Professional Athletes from the NHL, MLB, NFL, PGA, UK track and field Olympic Team and more, are using these specific techniques to improve their performance and recovery time from competitions and training.
The ELDOAs and Myofascial Stretching techniques used in these classes were created by Guy VOYER DO, a world renowned Osteopath and trained Medical Doctor from Marseilles, France. Highly sought after for his expert fascial therapy and training techniques, Dr. VOYER developed the ELDOA over 35 years ago and teaches the ELDOA, Myofascial Stretching along with many other techniques as part of his Osteopath, Somatraining and new ELDOA Certification Programs.

Walls that at 50-60ft are among the tallest in the country (and twice the height of VE St. Paul), with 25k total square feet of "climbable surface" -- just hold on tight lest you learn how terrifying surface-to-air can really be.
Changeable, color-coded routes that follow a 5.0-5.15 scale (5.0 = easy vert climbs, 5.15 = don't even try) called the Yosemite Decimal Rating System, plus tons of automatic belays.
Lead climbing and top-roping on the tall walls bolstered by separate, lower bouldering caves, where enthusiasts can free climb with less risk of injury/harness-impotence.
A full-service indoor/outdoor pro shop hawking equipment from brands like Petzl, Black Diamond, Scarpa, and Edelweiss, and also offering rentals -- hopefully Enterprise, as all but the most expert climbers need someone to pick them up.
And, should you tire of their indoor lessons and clinics (not physically, as that's sort of the point), they also take it outdoors to teach techniques on natural rock in places like Taylor's Falls and Devil's Lake, which sounds like a barren body of water where any life would be an anomaly.

Gregory Merz Named a Minnesota Attorney of the Year
MINNEAPOLIS (Feb. 18, 2021) — Minnesota Lawyer recently recognized Lathrop GPM Partner Gregory R. Merz as an Attorney of the Year for 2020. Merz was honored for obtaining a precedent-setting ruling before the Minnesota Court of Appeals on Dec. 1, 2020.
On behalf of an individual pro bono client and the nonprofit organization Youthprise, Merz successfully argued in Hayat Muse v. Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development that an unemployment judge ruled incorrectly when stating that Minnesota high school students were ineligible to receive pandemic unemployment assistance. Overturning the administrative decision by DEED made millions of dollars in federal financial assistance available to thousands of high school students and low-income families that depend on their teenagers' wages to help make ends meet. This significant appellate victory added to Merz' long-standing record of excellence in both litigation, pro bono and appellate matters.
The legal victory and Merz' role in it was featured in the news, including in Minnesota's award-winning Star Tribune and the Monticello Times newspapers. In addition, Youthprise released a public statement thanking Merz and Lathrop GPM for their pro bono efforts on behalf of Minnesota high school students. More on this pro bono victory is available in this Dec. 8, 2020 firm news article, "Appellate Victory Frees Millions in Pandemic Unemployment Assistance for Minnesota Students."
A member of the firm's Litigation & Dispute Resolution Practice Group, Merz represents individuals and companies in litigation matters covering a variety of subject matters, including telecommunications, agribusiness, administrative law, health and human services, employment, breach of contract, antitrust, franchise and distribution, and professional licensing matters.
Merz has been recognized by the Minnesota State Bar Association as a "North Star Lawyer" for six consecutive years. This honor recognizes attorneys who dedicate a significant amount of hours in pro bono legal services to low-income individuals in the state of Minnesota. Merz also received the Hennepin County Bar Association's Pro Bono Publico Award for Distinguished Service in 2005 and the Hennepin County Bar Association Diversity Award in 2017.

The Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN): Offering a lifeline to vulnerable refugees in Türkiye
Türkiye currently hosts the largest refugee population in the world with 4 million people. Some 3.6 million of them are Syrians who fled the war that continues to ravage their country.
Despite Türkiye's commendable efforts to provide registered refugees with access to basic rights and services, including education and health care, many find themselves facing challenging and often precarious circumstances.
After years of displacement, refugee families have depleted their resources. The current economic and lack of access to a regular income make it difficult for them to meet their basic needs.
Thanks to EU humanitarian funding and a partnership between the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Turkish Red Crescent Society and Turkish government institutions, close to 1.5 million refugees living in Türkiye receive humanitarian support through cash assistance.
Another 373,000 particularly vulnerable people receive cash assistance from the development part of the EU Facility for Refugees in Türkiye, managed by the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations.
Launched in 2016, the Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) is the biggest humanitarian programme in the history of the EU. It is designed to help the most vulnerable refugees pay for the things they need most. Currently, the European Commission funds the programme until early 2023.
Refugee families currently receive 230 Turkish Lira (around €12.5) monthly per family member, enabling them to decide for themselves how to cover essential needs like rent, transport, bills, food and medicine. The programme offers additional quarterly top-ups based on family size.
The ESSN card can be used in shops, just like a normal debit card. But it is not just a cash card. It's an acknowledgement that, despite their hardships, refugees have the right to choose how to manage their own lives.
This also positively affects host communities by allowing the refugees to participate in the daily life of the community and contribute to the local economy.
Thanks to EU funded cash assistance in Türkiye, vulnerable refugee families can buy what they need most.

'Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker' became a viral star. Now he's is on trial for murder.
'Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker' became a viral star. Now he's is on trial for murder.
It took a little under six minutes of screen time to launch Kai into the upper stratosphere of internet fame.
"Do you have a last name?" the interviewer asked.
Wild long hair snagged in a bandanna and mouth leaking enough four-letter words to bury a broadcaster in FCC fines, he described how he took out the rampaging attacker after the man assaulted two women.
An internet sensation was born.
But the viral story ended unlike most – with a murder charge, and a trial set to start on Tuesday.
According to News 12 New Jersey, Kai – real name Caleb McGillvary – is accused of killing Joseph Galfy, 73, a land-use attorney, in May 2013, three months after he made his viral splash. The now-30-year-old has pleaded not guilty to the charge, and faces life in prison if convicted.
McGillvary's fame snowballed after his clip hit the internet, and he remained off the grid.
He also continued to wander across the country. Those ramblings eventually took him to the East Coast. As the Courier News reported, McGillvary – who is originally from Edmonton, Alberta, according to the Associated Press – met Galfy in New York's Times Square on May 12, 2013. The two men allegedly drank beers together, and Galfy offered to let McGillvary, then 24, sleep in the guest bedroom at his house in Clark, New Jersey.
In a since-deleted Facebook post, McGillvary later would claim that he had waked in Galfy's house the next morning after being drugged and sexually assaulted the night before, the Courier News reported. Galfy was partially naked in the bed, and McGillvary would later claim in the post he fought off the older man in self-defense.
"What would you do if you woke up with a groggy head, metallic taste in your mouth, in a strangers house . . . and started wretching [sic], realizing that someone had drugged, raped . . . you?" the posting said, according to the New York Post.
Police would later find Galfy dead in his home on May 13, 2013, NJ.com reported. He had been beaten to death. Messages found on the victim's phone pointed to the viral star as a suspect. Authorities would later determine McGillvary left the house, walked to a nearby train station and traveled to meet a fan.
On May 17, 2013, a barista at a Starbucks in Philadelphia recognized McGillvary and had seen news reports that police were looking for him. He called 911, and police found and arrested McGillvary at a nearby bus station, the New York Post reported.
According to the Courier News, McGillvary was unaware Galfy was dead.
While in jail on his murder charge, McGillvary initially tried to keep his viral fame going, releasing recordings from custody and attempting to leverage his fan base for his legal fees, NJ.com reported. Six years after his internet debut, it remains to be seen how much of that fan base still exists or remembers his plight.
In earlier court hearings, his attorney, John Cito, indicated McGillvary planned to argue the attack was in self-defense, NJ.com reported .

Q: Cursor position to CSS grid position I have a CSS grid layout and want to get the cell position below my cursor.
Imagine the following example:

If my cursor is where the star in the image is, I'm looking for a javascript function which returns {grid-row-start: 2, grid-row-end: 3, grid-column-start: 5, grid-column-end: 6}.
Does anybody of you knows about a native function to do this? Or do i have to calculate the values myself?
Thanks :)
The code of my example looks like the following:

1

2

3

 4

5

6

8

9

10

11

A: What you want to do is figure out which element the mouse is over, and then get the window.getComputedStyle(element).gridColumnStart (and others) from that element.
The simplest way to do this would be to just add a mouseenter event to each of the grid-stack-item elements.
Here's a rough example:
let currentCellPosition = {
  "grid-row-start": null,
  "grid-row-end": null,
  "grid-column-start": null,
  "grid-column-end": null
}

Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("grid-stack-item")).forEach(element => {
  element.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => {
    const style = window.getComputedStyle(element);
    currentCellPosition = {
      "grid-row-start": style.gridRowStart,
      "grid-row-end": style.gridRowEnd,
      "grid-column-start": style.gridColumnStart,
      "grid-column-end": style.gridColumnEnd
    }
  })
})

In this example, currentCellPosition will always have the most recent cell position.

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  const output = document.getElementById("output");

  Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("cell")).forEach(element => {
    element.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => {
    const style = window.getComputedStyle(element)
      output.innerHTML = `
      row start: ${style.gridRowStart}
      row end: ${style.gridRowEnd}
      column start: ${style.gridColumnStart}
      column end: ${style.gridColumnEnd}
      `;
    })
  })
});
.container {
  border: 2px solid green;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: auto auto;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto;
  height: 200px;
  width: 100%;
}

.a {
  grid-row-start: 1;
  grid-row-end: 2;
  grid-column-start: 1;
  grid-column-end: 2;
  background-color: lightblue;
}
.b {
  grid-row-start: 2;
  grid-row-end: 3;
  grid-column-start: 1;
  grid-column-end: 3;
  background-color: orange;
}
.c {
  grid-row-start: 1;
  grid-row-end: 2;
  grid-column-start: 2;
  grid-column-end: 3;
  background-color: lightgreen;
}

A: the idea here is to add an extra grid layer beyond the container. lets call it "pseudoContainer".
This pseudoContainer will be absolute postioned.
It will contain elements in columns with 16,6% width and a heigth that will match to the grid.
Now we can bind the mouseenter to the pseudo elements.
Based on @Ian answer I have made a fiddle:
first create some pseudo elements:
var cont = $(".pseudoContainer");
for (var i = 0; i < 18; i++) {
var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.setAttribute('class', 'pseudoitem');
  newDiv.innerHTML = '

';
  cont.append(newDiv);
}

then add listener:
Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("pseudoitem-inner")).forEach(element => {
  element.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => {
    const style = window.getComputedStyle(element);
    currentCellPosition = {
      "grid-row-start": style.gridRowStart,
      "grid-row-end": style.gridRowEnd,
      "grid-column-start": style.gridColumnStart,
      "grid-column-end": style.gridColumnEnd
    }
    console.log(currentCellPosition);
  })
})

with some styling you can see:
.pseudoContainer{
  position:absolute;
  top:0;
  left:0;
  width: 100%;
  display: block;
  padding: 3px;
   z-index:1;
}
.pseudoitem{
      width: calc(16.6% - 10px);
    height: 126px;
    float: left;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px;
    z-index:2;
}
.pseudoitem-inner{
  background-color: red;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}
.container{
  z-index:1;
}
.grid-stack-item{
  z-index:3;
}

now you only to refine the pseudo elements creation process so that they contain the grid information.
here is a fiddle
EDIT:
Now you will get the desired information onmouseover.
The way here is also to add an extra grid layer beyond the container and set position absolute.
Unfortunately this will work only for this grid and it is really not my best work.
In priciple it is the same as solution one but now make also use of grid style here.
var cont = $(".pseudoContainer");
var y,x;
for (var i = 0; i < 18; i++) {
if(i <= 5) y = 0, x = i;
if(i > 5 && i <= 11) y = 1, x = i - 6;
if(i > 11 && i <= 18) y = 2, x = i - 12;
  var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
  newDiv.setAttribute('class', 'pseudoitem');
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-width', '1');
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-height', '1');
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-x', x);
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-y', y);
  newDiv.innerHTML = '

';
  cont.append(newDiv);
}

for(let elm of document.getElementsByClassName('pseudoitem')){
            elm.style['grid-column-start'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-x')) + 1;
            elm.style['grid-column-end'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-x')) + parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-width')) + 1;
            elm.style['grid-row-start'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-y')) +1 ;
            elm.style['grid-row-end'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-y')) + parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-height')) +1;
        }

let currentCellPosition = {
  "grid-row-start": null,
  "grid-row-end": null,
  "grid-column-start": null,
  "grid-column-end": null
}

Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("pseudoitem")).forEach(element => {
  element.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => {
    const style = window.getComputedStyle(element);
    currentCellPosition = {
      "grid-row-start": style.gridRowStart,
      "grid-row-end": style.gridRowEnd,
      "grid-column-start": style.gridColumnStart,
      "grid-column-end": style.gridColumnEnd
    }
    console.log(currentCellPosition);
  })
})

and the styling:
.pseudoContainer{
  position:absolute;
  top:10px;
  left:10px;
  width: 100%;
      height: 400px;
  display: grid;
   z-index:1;
   grid-template-columns: repeat(6, 1fr);
   grid-gap: 0px;
}
.pseudoitem{

    z-index:2;
}
.pseudoitem-inner{

    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}
.container{
  z-index:1;
}
.grid-stack-item{
  z-index:3;
}

EDIT2:
I have rewritten the calculation. now you can define "repeat" and "rows" parameter and layer2 grid will be automatically created.
the fiddle is updated and here is the code change:
var cont = $(".pseudoContainer");
var y,x;
var repeat = 6;
var rows = 3;
for (var i = 0; i < rows*repeat; i++) {

  if(i%repeat === 0) {
    y = i/repeat;
  }
  x = i- y * repeat;

  var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
  newDiv.setAttribute('class', 'pseudoitem');
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-width', '1');
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-height', '1');
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-x', x);
  newDiv.setAttribute('data-gs-y', y);
  newDiv.innerHTML = '

';
  cont.append(newDiv);
}

for(let elm of document.getElementsByClassName('pseudoitem')){
            elm.style['grid-column-start'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-x')) + 1;
            elm.style['grid-column-end'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-x')) + parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-width')) + 1;
            elm.style['grid-row-start'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-y')) +1 ;
            elm.style['grid-row-end'] = parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-y')) + parseInt(elm.getAttribute('data-gs-height')) +1;
        }

let currentCellPosition = {
  "grid-row-start": null,
  "grid-row-end": null,
  "grid-column-start": null,
  "grid-column-end": null
}

Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("pseudoitem")).forEach(element => {
  element.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => {
    const style = window.getComputedStyle(element);
    currentCellPosition = {
      "grid-row-start": style.gridRowStart,
      "grid-row-end": style.gridRowEnd,
      "grid-column-start": style.gridColumnStart,
      "grid-column-end": style.gridColumnEnd
    }
    console.log(currentCellPosition);
  })

"Some episodes re-create pop-culture archetypes…Other episodes play with expectations of characters that seem familiar… At least half the enjoyment, though, is the colorful sound design." ( The Wall Street Journal)

John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that ANTHONY HARTSELL, also known as "Pop Off," 37, of New Haven, was sentenced today by Chief U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven to 90 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for his role in a violent New Haven street gang.
According to court documents and statements made in court, in January 2014, ATF and the New Haven Police Department began "Operation Red Side" through a series of controlled narcotics purchases and firearms seizures. The investigation revealed that members and associates of the Red Side Guerilla Brims ("RSGB"), a sect of the Bloods street gang based in New Haven, were engaged in narcotics trafficking and related acts of violence, including murder, attempted murder, assaults and armed robberies. In addition to distributing crack cocaine and other narcotics in and around New Haven, the investigation indicated that members and associates of the RSGB, under the direction of Jeffrey Benton and others, transported the drugs to Bangor, Maine, and sold them in Bangor and its surrounding communities. The RSGB also traded narcotics for firearms, brought the firearms back to New Haven and distributed them to gang members. HARTSELL served as second-in-command of the RSGB.
In September 2011, leaders of the RSGB, including Benton and HARTSELL, ordered Robert Short, also known as "Santana," to murder Darrick Cooper, who was a leader of a rival New Haven gang and seen as a threat. On September 19, 2011, Short lured Cooper to a location in Hamden. Short then shot Cooper in the back of the head as Cooper walked up a staircase.
On May 17, 2016, HARTSELL pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering.
Benton and Short pleaded guilty to various offenses stemming from this investigation, and both admitted to participating in the murder of Darrick Cooper. Benton also admitted that he participated in three other gang-related murders and one attempted murder.
On October 4, 2017, Benton was sentenced to 480 months of imprisonment. Short awaits sentencing.
HARTSELL will begin serving his federal sentence after he completes a state sentence for an unrelated offense.

L'Occitane Boutiques
An outing to a L'Occitane en Provence boutique is reminiscent of a trip to the region from which the French beauty company takes its name. From the bright yellow signage and the limewashed walls, to the warm ochre terracotta floors, there are notes of Provence everywhere.
Obakki Foundation
It all begins with water, and the act of giving with no expectations of receiving in return. It was a poignant lesson, delivered by Obakki founder Treana Peake to an audience of 2,500 in Vancouver last month for TEDxVancouver.
The Apartment at Holt Renfrew
There's a phrase common to the fashion set, a notion of revisiting your existing wardrobe: "shop your closet". But Holt Renfrew gives new meaning to the saying with the Apartment, a 1,000-square-foot private shopping suite at its Yorkdale Shopping Centre location in Toronto.
A fusion of Tokyo style and Vancouver sensibility, menswear brand Wings + Horns celebrates its 10-year anniversary with a season of change.

A Las Vegas Gamble
The stakes are high in Las Vegas, and hotels and casinos pull out all the stops to produce such a spectacle. The statistics of the art world in Vegas, however, are surprising for different reasons.
Fashion and Politics
"Many contemporary philosophers say that consumerism is the biggest ethical battle of our times," says Sara Nickleson, associate curator at the Design Exchange in Toronto, as she walks through a sea of white mannequins just days before the opening of the design museum's new exhibition Politics of Fashion | Fashion of Politics.
What was once a fishing camp, situated at the confluence of the Metis and the St. Lawrence rivers in Quebec, is now home to one of Canada's most imaginative gardens. The International Garden Festival, which is now in its 15th run at Reford Gardens in Quebec, concludes September 28, 2014.

Chantecaille celebrates its 15th anniversary this year with the release of its new Rose de Mai cream. The ancient Rose de Mai bloom in May in the fields of Grasse, Provence, and are selected for their extraordinary anti-aging properties and enchanting fragrance.
The list reads like a garden inventory: daisies, poppies, carrots, strawberries, ginger, peppermint, lavender. And yet, it's simply a sample menu of ingredients you may find in the composition of a Dr. Hauschka product.
The Roots Legacy
The legacy of Roots runs deep. With an affinity for Canadian wilderness and sport, founders Don Green and Michael Budman—both, as many may be surprised to hear, originally from Detroit, Michigan—created their signature brand of leather goods and athletic wear in the 1970s.
Duke Fulco di Verdura was born into Sicilian aristocracy in 1898 and began his prolific career as a jewellery designer for Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, whom he met at a party hosted by Cole and Linda Porter in Venice in 1925.
There are those versatile items one should always keep stocked: add the fouta to this list. Traditionally found in Turkish baths, or Hammams, these towels have long been used in Turkey and North Africa, and have attracted attention worldwide.
Nendo Designs
For Toronto-born, now Tokyo-based Oki Sato, design solutions tell stories. While the use of manmade objects and spaces risks becoming mundane when unimaginative and repetitive, Sato believes that these everyday items and environments have the potential to create meaningful experiences. His designs, as a result, merge utility with quirkiness and charm.
Éminence
Éminence CEO Boldijarre Koronczay is one of the lucky ones. A survivor of childhood leukemia, he claims it wasn't chemotherapy that worked for him, it was naturopathic medicine based on remedies created by his mother and grandmother in Hungary. Naturally, Koronczay is a proponent of the organic, all-natural skincare products that form Éminence, a skin-care company founded by his family in 1958.
The Hudson's Bay Project Adventure
The cross-country road trip is something of a rite of passage for Canadians; our country's vast and varied terrain is ample raw material for exploration. And while nothing beats getting behind the wheel, we don't all have the time, or patience, for a journey of this magnitude.
The Urban Electric Co.
Amidst the mass manufacturing of today, the Urban Electric Co. is a welcome change of pace. Founded by Dave Dawson in Charleston, South Carolina 10 years ago, the lighting firm is celebrated for its handmade designs—a revival of small-scale American craftsmanship.
David Lynch for Dom Pérignon
An interplay of light and dark infuses the new collaboration between filmmaker David Lynch and champagne house Dom Pérignon. After photographing the advertising campaign for the Dom Pérignon 2003 and Dom Pérignon Rosé 2000 vintages, Lynch designed limited-edition bottles for each.
"The Breathless Zoo" by Rachel Poliquin
Taxidermy had its peak in the 19th century, when exotic curiosities led to the widespread creation of preserved beasts. Today, when a click of a mouse or a flick of a remote brings the animal kingdom to life in ways previously impossible, the ethics of the practice are in question.
The Klimt Collection
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Gustav Klimt's birth, the Belvedere palace and museum in Vienna—which owns the world's largest collection of his paintings, including The Kiss (1908)—has amassed a special exhibition on the visionary Austrian artist. "The Jubilee Exhibition: 150 Years of Gustav Klimt" runs until January 6, 2013, in the Upper Belvedere.

This has been a great week for me. I had the opportunity to spend time proselyting with some of our missionaries. It was great to learn from them and experience the joy of teaching and testifying of Christ in a more up close and personal way. I am so grateful for your courage, dedication, faith and skill. As I observe you in action, I am better able to appreciate the great work that you do and also the areas in which we can improve.
One of the things that really helped me this week was more careful management of my time and schedule. Time is something of which we all have a limited supply. As we carefully prioritize and set goals, we will accomplish more and resist the temptation to put things off. We should continually evaluate all that we do by whether or not it helps us accomplish our missionary purpose of inviting others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Our goals and plans should continually be focused on these important aspects of the doctrine of Christ.
In Preach My Gospel we learn that accountability is a fundamental part of Heavenly Father's plan for His children. We will all stand before the Lord and account for what we have done with the opportunities He has given us. As you serve your mission, you can learn much about accountability that will benefit you throughout your life. As we feel an appropriate sense of accountability, we will be more motivated to do our very best each day. We should never use guilt to motivate ourselves or anyone else. The Savior did not use guilt to accomplish anything that He did. There are many instances when he "reproved… with sharpness" (D&C 121:43) but he was never manipulative or improperly motivated.
I was struck by something that I read in PMG this week as I was reviewing Chapter 8. "The quality of your personal and companionship study will improve your ability to teach by the Spirit…"(pg. 139). If we are earnestly striving to accomplish our missionary purpose, we should welcome every opportunity to improve what we are doing. I sometimes hear of missionaries who do not have effective personal and/or companionship study. When Elder Holland said that missionaries make or break their missions in the first few hours of every day, he was talking about personal and companionship study. If you need to repent and improve the manner in which you use your study time each day, I urge you to do so now. Do not delay!
It is my prayer that we are all striving to experience the "purity of discipleship" as we go about our work each day. We are not merely trying to keep busy. We are disciples of Christ and servants of the living God, focusing on our missionary purpose to build the Lord's kingdom on earth.


We are continuously encouraged by the incredible ways that God uses the ministry of inner healing and deliverance to transform lives. Testimonies of this sort are of great encouragement and inspiration for us and those that care. What has God been doing in your life as a result of our ministry of healing and deliverance? Has our prayer ministry impacted your life in a profound way? Have any of our teaching, training, or media ministries had a significant influence on your life or in the life of your church or family? We would love to hear about it. Please take a minute to share with us.

Gogol Bordello Gears Up For Bonnaroo
Article Contributed by bonnaroo.com | Published on Saturday, June 14, 2008
After proving a highlight at Coachella this year, internationally acclaimed Gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello performs today at Bonnaroo on Saturday, June 14 at 4:00 PM on the Which Stage. Come see why Q Magazine calls Eugene Hutz, "a great performer of our times," with what the New York Press is calling "a band that everyone should see live."
Currently on tour in North America and fresh off the heels of Coachella, Gogol Bordello will continue the festival circuit with their "Forces of Victory Tour 2008" with electrifying performances at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. Their Coachella performance had the Wall Street Journal raving that "Gogol Bordello mashed punk energy with Eastern European modes for a set that received the wildest reception of any show I saw" and the Los Angeles Times was left impressed by the celebration of "sensuality in both words and raucous, joyful internationalist dance rock." Proceeding the US dates, Gogol Bordello will make their way through Europe and Asia including performances at the Alive Festival in Portugal, Exit Festival in Serbia, Sonic Art Festival in France and Fuji Rock in Japan.
Gogol Bordello's 2007 release SUPER TARANTA!, their most prolific album to date has earned them glowing praise from the press worldwide. Punkbands.com says "Super Taranta! stands as a testament to the great (and unique) songwriting of the band, which is better than ever."
Gogol Bordello front-man, Eugene Hutz will also be seen this fall in the Madonna-directed film, 'Filth & Wisdom' in which he stars in the lead role and is the inspiration for the movie. Madonna and Eugene's first collaboration was this past summer when they performed together at Live Earth in London. Eugene and Sergey performed a Romanesque version of "La Isla Bonita" that combined Gogol Bordello's gypsy-stomper "Lela Pala Tute" with Madonna singing in Romanes.

Progressive jam giants Umphrey's McGee's return to Las Vegas for the seventh installment of the massively popular UMBowl production was marked once again by a stand-out tour closing dual evening extravaganza where all stops were pulled out and the power given directly to the fans, for better or for worse.
On June 24, Round Records & ATO Records will release GarciaLive Volume Six: July 5, 1973 – Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders, the latest installment of the celebrated GarciaLive archival series. The three-CD set was recorded at the 200 capacity Lion's Share club formerly located in the small town of San Anselmo, CA, just 20 miles north of San Francisco. The performance features Jerry Garcia performing with friend, mentor and legendary keyboardist/vocalist Merl Saunders. The duo is joined by drummer Bill Vitt and bassist John Kahn, who soon became a lifelong Garcia collaborator.
