Cemetery "Tophet"
The Carthaginians had a verse of religiosity and piety, they used to believe in a world of superposition of sacred beings.

And like most people as the ancient Hebrews, Romans, Greeks and Gauls, Carthaginians offered sacrifices to the gods, and often consist of one of their son whose age exceeds most often six months and purpose of these offerings is to look for a link between the earthly world and the world of the gods.
This is the price to pay for the gods to protect them or reward them, they also offer fragrances, food, fruits, animals and even pottery ....

Traditionally, cannabis and fitness have not been associated with each other particularly closely. While it's not to say that you cannot be a stoner and also the epitome of physical fitness, actual exercise – as in working out – isn't considered to be something interlinked with cannabis.
Which for the most part comes down to various presumptions and misunderstandings…something we'll get to a little later on. In the meantime, we thought we'd focus on one particular individual who is out to change the world's perceptions of cannabis in relation to exercise, once and for all. Or if not the entire world, perhaps a good chunk of California at least.
The individual we are referring to is a chap by the name of Jim McAlpine, who last year announced that he would at some point in the future be opening the very first "cannabis gym" in the United States. At the time, Power Plant Fitness was destined to be a unique and innovative addition to the San Francisco landscape, that would for the first time combine a traditional gym with the kind of place you can go to indulge your cannabis cravings. But as it was only medical cannabis that was legal at the time, the gym would only be open to those with a qualifying medical condition and medical cannabis card.
Given the fact that recreational cannabis is now legal in California, chances are Jim's success story is going to be even more spectacular than even he himself could ever have expected.
But in terms of what exactly he expects its customers to get out of the deal, what's the big idea of combining cannabis with exercise?
It's only as of relatively recently that we've been able to gain an accurate insight into exactly what cannabis does to the body and mind alike. The fact that it has a tendency to affect each and every person rather differently certainly complicates things, but there are also certain things we absolutely know about cannabis.
The way Jim sees it, it's not simply about getting stoned for the sake of it, but rather enhancing every workout and getting the most out of your chosen activities.
"If you use it right, cannabis takes the things you love and lets you love them more," McAlpine, 46, told Outside.
While it all depends on the strain you choose and how much of the stuff you decide to use, it's pretty much a concrete proven fact that cannabis can enhance exercise. For example, there are certain strains that are known to not only increase your energy and motivation, but give you the kind of hard focus and concentration you would never normally be able to muster. Which in turn means that whatever activity you decide to indulge in, you're more likely to give it your all with the strategic use of cannabis. Not only this, but there is also evidence to suggest that when consumed after a workout, cannabis can actually help the body's recovery process. Rather than slowing things down, cannabis compounds can actually speed things up and get your body back to strength faster.
And of course, there's much to be said for the motivation that comes with incentivising yourself. After all, if you know that getting busy at the gym means you will qualify for a well deserved cannabis treat afterwards, this represents one of the best excuses possible for exercising on a more regular basis.
Is everyone as receptive to the idea of a cannabis gym of Jim himself would have liked? Of course not. As is the case with each and every pursuit involving cannabis in any form, there are plenty who do not believe it is necessarily a good idea. In fact, some have gone so far as to suggest that it could in fact prove harmful.
"It's shocking to me," Dr. Yasmin Hurd, professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai New York, tells PEOPLE.
Hurd went on to state that the way in which cannabis can to some extent dull feelings of pain and discomfort could lead to people putting far more into their workouts than they can actually afford to.
"People could work through their pain threshold in a way that could harm themselves because they are tearing muscles and they're not going to feel them," she said.
There are also some who have commented on the way in which cannabis compounds have the potential to increase blood pressure and heart rate at the same time, which can apparently be dangerous when exercising. Nevertheless, it's not as if there aren't already thousands of different drinks and supplements available, with such enormous quantities of caffeine, guarana and other stimulants that can make you feel as if you're close to having a heart attack after downing just a couple of cans!
At least with cannabis, the effect isn't quite as intensive or severe.
But here's the thing – a growing contingency of health-focused stoners across the country are beginning to explore the delights of combining cannabis with exercise. As such, common sense would argue that if this is the kind of thing that is going to happen, why not encourage it to happen under a responsible and well-trained roof?
Which is precisely where the difference comes in with regard to Power Plant Fitness. It's not simply a case of Jim and Co. allowing customers access to a wide variety of cannabis products and all the equipment they need to work out. Instead, the gym will be staffed by a resident contingency of experts and personal trainers, who can help and advise customers on exactly what they should and should not be using in terms of available cannabis products.
Instead of a free-for-all, cannabis will simply be made available as part of on-going personal training, with expert advice and support available at all times.
Power Plant Fitness is scheduled to open its doors for business in May.

Mourinho would have won three titles at Man City – Drogba
Written by thrilliant on November 22, 2018
The recently retired former Chelsea striker believes the Portuguese is not to blame for Manchester United's recent struggles
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho would have won the Premier League title "two or three times" if he was the boss of Manchester City, says his former star protégé Didier Drogba.
The 40-year-old striker, who recently retired from football after a stint at USL club Phoenix Rising, believes the Red Devils' struggles are not because of their Portuguese coach and should instead be blamed on the change in finances since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Drogba is also adamant Mourinho would have won more Premier League titles at City than Pep Guardiola if he was in charge of United's neighbours.

Welcome to part 4 of our Finding the perfect gift series, have you read parts 1-3 yet? If not, why not!?!? Just kidding, it seems everyone I know these days are super busy so just to have a chance and sit down and read your favourite gift giving blog is a treat (thanks for taking the time by the way!) Time is precious to us all, and time is also the subject of Part 4 of our blog series.
Finding the perfect gift: Choosing the right time to give it!
An old proverb says: "A word spoken at the right time - how good it is!" I am sure we would all agree, but changing it slightly "A gift given at the right time - how good that is!" Think about it, the weather is getting colder in many places now and you may have had your eye on a nice coat which your friend knows about. They tell you they've bought a present and then surprise you with that summer swimming costume you always wanted… fail. Then comes summer and your friend finally gifts you that winter coat. Walking around the streets of Hong Kong in 40c heat wearing a full duck down jacket is probably not the best idea. The timing of our gift is sometimes just as important as the gift itself.
Are you looking out for opportunities to give your friends and family the right gift at the right time? For example, A friend is getting married. A youth is soon to graduate from school. A married couple is expecting a baby. These are but a few of the many occasions for which gifts are often given. Some find it practical to keep a list of such special events that will take place in the coming year. In this way, they can plan ahead for the gift that would be best for each occasion.
Once you know the occasion and the right time to give the gift you can be sure whatever you give will be appreciated. For some great gift ideas of things to give to your friends and family in Hong Kong and elsewhere, we at Give Gift Boutique have a huge range of gifts. I am quite in love with our Graduation teddy bear gifts at the moment, mainly cos I never grew up and still love teddy bears!
This is a Hong Kong GGB original 'Find the Perfect Gift - Part 4 The Timing' blogpost.

In Praise of Barbarians: Essays Against Empire
Mike Davis (Author)
FORMAT
Paperback$19.95(English)

The author of City of Quartz and Planet of Slums attacks the current fashion for empires and white men's burdens in this blistering collection of radical essays. He skewers contemporary idols such as Mel Gibson, Niall Ferguson, and Howard Dean; unlocks some secret doors in the Pentagon and the California prison system; visits Star Wars in the Arctic and vigilantes on the border; predicts ethnic cleansing in New Orleans more than a year before Katrina; recalls the anarchist avengers of the 1890s and "teeny-bopper" riots on the Sunset Strip in the 1960s; discusses the moral bankruptcy of the Democrats in Kansas and West Virginia; remembers "Private Ivan," who defeated fascism; and looks at the future of capitalism from the top of Hubbert's Peak.
No writer in the United States today brings together analysis and history as comprehensively and elegantly as Mike Davis. In these contemporary, interventionist essays, Davis goes beyond critique to offer real solutions and concrete possibilities for change.
"Davis remains our penman of lost souls and lost scenarios: He culls nuggets of avarice and depredation the way miners chisel coal."
--The Nation
"A rare combination of an author, Rachel Carson and Upton Sinclair all in one."
--Susan Faludi, author, Backlash
"Davis' work is the cruel and perpetual folly of the ruling elites."
--New York Times
Mike Davis is the author many books, including City of Quartz, The Ecology of Fear, The Monster at Our Door, and Planet of Slums. Davis teaches in the Department of History at the University of California, Irvine, and lives in San Diego.

Metal thief cuts through live cable at Lovell site
A metal thief got a real shock when he cut through a live power cable at a Lovell housing site in West Lothian.
Lothian and Borders Police are now appealing for witnesses following the explosion on Wednesday night.
Inspector Ian Moffat said: "We are still trying to establish the full circumstances of this incident. However, it appears an attempt has been made to cut through the electrical cable to remove it.
"Whoever was responsible put their life in serious risk and there is potential that they may have suffered electrical burns or other injuries.
"We are keen to trace those who were at the site last night and anyone who can help identify them is asked to contact police immediately."
A spokeswoman for Lovell told The Scotsman: "Lovell is in the process of connecting the power supply to the site where the company is currently constructing 116 units.
"Vandals broke into the site in an attempt to steal copper wiring after the site was closed.
"Further security measures have been implemented following the incident and we are committed to working with the police to ensure people are made aware of the dangers of construction sites."
A ScottishPower spokesman said: "Anyone who tries to steal live electricity cables is showing a staggering disregard for their own safety, the safety of the public, and that of our employees."
He added: "It beggars belief that anyone would put their life on the line by interfering with live electricity to steal cables with a minimal scrap value."

CHARTWATCH was founded (bet you didn't know it was losted!) by John Hancock and Neil Rawlings in 1981 to serve a small and eccentric community of people interested in analysing record charts. Record charts serve as a repository of information and nostalgia for people interested in pop music, to such an extent that the Guinness books of UK Hit Singles and Albums have become major sellers in the UK. Compilations of hit records also exist for many other countries, from the US, where Joel Whitburn's books are the equivalent of the Guinness books, to Holland, Germany, Australia and many others.
These kinds of books are all very well in their own sweet ways, but as well as being out of date as soon as (or even before) they're published, they also only answer some of the questions people are likely to ask. If you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and think "hmmm, when was the last time three singles entered the top ten of the singles chart at the same time?" you're not likely to get much help (although you might if you read Alan Jones' weekly chart analyses in Music Week; Hi Alan!)
There are many reasons for wanting to analyse charts, from a deep and wringing desire to know who are the most popular artists of the day to an unhealthy need to see your favourite artist beat the crap out of everyone else (something generally denied to all but fans of the likes of Elvis, The Beatles, Abba, Madonna and Rihanna, of course). Other undesirable motives include the desire to make money and/or to see your name in print. We do our best to cater for most of these needs, except for the money-making side of things, which we can't help with.
This page acts as a gateway into the weird realm of chart analysis, including selected chart analyses from back issues of Chartwatch itself and pointers to other members of this particular lunatic fringe. Read on.....

Chief Justice Mark E. Recktenwald (front center wearing lei), and teacher Tana Cambe (front left with plaque) join the Moanalua Blue and Silver teams at the Supreme Court bench after the finals.
Moanalua High School's mock trial teams swept the top two spots in the Hawaii State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division High School Mock Trial championship. Kauai's Island School came in third, followed by the Pearl City High School White team.
Thirteen teams from 11 high schools entered the competition, which began in January with preliminary rounds and culminated on March 9 in the Hawaii Supreme Court courtroom. Chief Justice Mark E. Recktenwald presided over the final mock trial.
The goal of the Mock Trial Program is to "stimulate the minds of Hawaii's high school students so that they may acquire a deeper understanding and appreciation of the American legal system," according to the organizers. The students act as attorneys, bailiffs, clerks, and witnesses. Those playing the roles of the attorneys must prepare opening and closing statements, cross examine witnesses, and display their knowledge of the legal process and court systems.
The winning Moanalua Blue team, coached by teacher Tana Cambe and volunteer attorneys Brian Kang and David Suzuki, will represent Hawaii at the National High School Mock Trial Championship in Athens, GA. in May.

Two good mods for the R1100GS!
Let's get two facts straight from the beginning!
First: I did not think of these two mods on my own. I actually found them on the www.ibmwr.org site. You can also read them at the "R1100 tech articles" setion.
Some two years ago I changed the bike's battery, installing a brand new "official" Mareg battery. However, during both winters in the meantime, the battery discharged, and of course I recharged it properly in order to ride the bike again... Even so, I believe these discharges did not do any good to the battery, and nowadays, even though the battery seems very strong to crank the engine, the ABS would not initialize, as it should. Sometimes even after riding 30 minutes and restarting it would not initialize. So, we performed the "ABS-II Low Voltage Fault Modification" as described by Mick McKinnon with words from Brian Curry, IBMWR President(s) at the above link.
The other mod, is the "Another Way to Start Your R1100RT With the Sidestand Down", also by the same Author, which, I believe applies to all R1100/1150 bikes. At least it applies fully to my '98 R1100GS! In short, it allows the bike to start when the sidestand is down, but only if the gearshift is in neutral. Whenever I pull the clutch and shift any gear, as soon as the green neutral light goes out, the engine dies, too.
To save anyone from the... agony, both mods work exceptionally well!
We used two relays, as proposed in Mick's articles, both relays being the same Bosch part number and costing some 7 euros each.
Here you can see the light-grey wire coming from the alternator. It's very well disguised near the original wiring of the bike. The only clue that there has been a mod, are the white zipties which we used, since we ran out of black ones!!!
After all was done, we tested it: With the main switch on, and the engine not running, only the upper ABS light is on, and not blinking... After starting the engine, both ABS lights will start flashing together and once on the move, the ABS will engage correctly every time!
This is where the new relay was positioned. At the left, in the middle row. It was secured with a bolt, nut and grover. The two light blue fuses on the lower right are the alarm's fuses.
This is how the new sidestand relay looks. We used white zip ties because we ran out of black ones, but I will rectify this tomorrow! We wrapped the relay with Team Orion 6-cell battery heat shrink, so it's a little water resistant!
We drilled a 4mm hole on the side of the relay box and bolted the outside relay to it, so it won't move around... The bolt was also a 4mm, so hopefully it will keep that hole water tight, too!!!


Pope Francis has reportedly said that Europe "must become a federal community or it will no longer count for anything in the world".
His comments were apparently made in an interview with Eugenio Scalfari, the 93-year-old La Repubblica journalist who does not record interviews or take notes.
The Pope's remarks came ahead of a G20 summit in Germany.

When John Paul Jones crossed over

Bailly-Blanchard, Second Secretary of the American Embassy (right), at the excavations at the Cemetery of St. Louis, in 1905. (Courtesy of Horace P. Mende, Kusnacht, Switzerland, 1973, now in the collections of the U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command)
It is of little consequence whether, in the heat of a 1779 naval battle aboard the frigate Bonhomme Richard — its deck slick with blood, its hull splintered by cannon fire — Capt. John Paul Jones shouted to the opposing British captain, "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Nor does it matter whether Jones actually founded the Navy, won the American Revolutionary War on the seas or was an object of admiration among society ladies in Paris.
Jones stands tall in legend because he stood firm against adversity, especially when the odds were stacked against him. The Scottish-born captain was American by choice, not birth, and it was the man's heartfelt defense of his adopted nation's interests abroad that ranked him high in the pantheon of Revolutionary War heroes.
In the century following Jones' 1792 death, myths and yarns woven around his career emerged and flourished. Yet his body lay abandoned in a forgotten grave in Paris, until Horace Porter, a retired Civil War general, was appointed U.S. ambassador to France and made it his personal mission to find Jones' remains and repatriate them to the United States.
"I felt a deep sense of humiliation as an American citizen in realizing that our first and most fascinating naval hero had been lying for more than a century in an unknown and forgotten grave," Porter wrote in a detailed report on his 1899–1905 search for Jones' resting place.
Porter found the grave in early 1905, and Congress approved $35,000 to exhume Jones' body.
President Theodore Roosevelt dispatched a squadron of warships to bring him home for interment in a memorial sarcophagus at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The story of Porter's search is one of painstaking historical detective work, buoyed by the financial and political backing of two nations.
Like Jones at the helm of Bonhomme Richard in 1779, they did not give up the fight.

Horace Porter began with the paper trail — an official French certificate attesting to Jones' death on July 18, 1792; a letter written by the captain's friend Col. Samuel Blackden to Jones' sister Jenny in Scotland, noting the body had been preserved in a lead coffin in hopes of future repatriation; and, finally, a vague description of his burial in a Parisian "cemetery for foreign Protestants."
Porter traced that description to the long since abandoned Saint-Louis Cemetery, named for the neighboring hospital, which lay in the French capital's northeastern suburbs.
At the time of Jones' death he was well known and respected in France, even in those dangerous days of 1792, with the monarchy in a tailspin and belligerent Austro-Prussian neighbors threatening the revolutionaries with war.
Jones lived alone in an apartment on the fashionable Rue de Tournon, a block from the Luxembourg Gardens. Though he had suffered from failing kidneys and edema for some time, the week before his death he had attended a National Assembly meeting and then supped with friends at a café.

Blackden, a Continental Army veteran and North Carolina planter then trading between France and the United States, had watched his friend's condition spiral in the days before his death.
He announced Jones' passing to the National Assembly by letter on July 19, noting with disgust that U.S. Minister to France Gouverneur Morris had requested Jones be interred "in the most private manner and at the least possible expense."
The affront also outraged Pierre-François Simonneau, Louis XVI's commissary, whose duties included oversight of foreign Protestant burials.
"A man who has rendered such signal services to France and America," Simonneau told Blackden, "ought to have a public burial," adding that if America didn't pony up the expense, he would pay it himself.
In fact, Simonneau did — to the sum of 462 francs, more than three times the cost of an ordinary funeral. (A century later Porter searched in vain for any of Simonneau's descendants, hoping to repay the commissary's generosity with interest.)
On July 20, in the presence of Simonneau, Blackden, two-dozen other friends and a handful of assemblymen, a Dutch Protestant pastor gave a florid oration, a detachment of grenadiers fired a musket volley and pallbearers slowly lowered Jones' lead coffin into his freshly dug grave.
It would remain undisturbed if not remembered or revered.

Six months after Jones' burial Parisian officials closed Saint-Louis Cemetery, abandoning its upkeep and later selling the site to private owners. The grounds were used alternately as a garden and a garbage dump before builders raised a laundry, a hotel, houses and attached stables atop it.
Porter hired a quarry engineer, who ultimately excavated some 900 feet of shafts and galleries to unearth the graves. When the owners of the laundry demanded an enormous sum to allow the search for the great American admiral to proceed, Porter summoned legendary French police prefect Louis Lépine to negotiate an acceptable compromise.
Fortunately for Porter, he also found willing support among French politicians all the way up the line.
Jones had sailed with the French fleet during the Revolutionary War, even while refusing to fly any but the American colors. Early in his command he flew the recently revived Gadsden flag (featuring a coiled rattlesnake atop the legend Don't Tread on Me), then red-and-white-striped ensigns as the flag evolved.
On Feb. 14, 1778, eight days after France signed a treaty with the nascent United States, a French captain exchanged salutes with Jones on the American sloop-of-war Ranger — the first foreign recognition of a vessel flying the Stars and Stripes.
While commanding ships for the Continental Navy between 1775 and '83, Jones captured upward of 40 ships for a value of $181,000. The captain received a portion; the rest was earmarked for the coffers of the growing government.
While the French navy appreciated Jones, so did the ladies of the court. In December 1784 Abigail Adams confided her own feelings in a letter to her niece:
I should sooner think of wrapping him up in cotton wool and putting him into my pocket than sending him to contend with cannon ball.
He is small of stature, well proportioned, soft in his speech, easy in his address, polite in his manners, vastly civil, understands all the etiquette of a lady's toilette as perfectly as he does the masts, sails and rigging of a ship. Under all this appearance of softness he is bold, enterprising, ambitious and active.
He has been here often and dined with us several times. He is said to be a man of gallantry and a favorite amongst the French ladies.
But Jones did "contend with cannon ball" at sea, most notably off Flamborough Head along the Yorkshire coast of England in the fall of 1779.
This famous oil-painting of the Battle of Flamborough Head by Thomas Mitchell currently hangs in the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, Annapolis. It features Bonhomme Richard and Serapis in the heat of their engagement, just at the moment when Alliance opened fire on the American ship. The battle between Pallas and Countess of Scarborough is visible in the lower-left corner. (U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command)
By then he'd taken command of Bonhomme Richard, a former French merchantman donated to the American cause by Louis XVI, its name a reference to Poor Richard's Almanac (Les Maximes du Bonhomme Richard), the popular annual published earlier that century by U.S. Minister to France Benjamin Franklin.
On the evening of Sept. 23 Jones encountered the British Serapis, a fifth-class warship under Capt. Richard Pearson.
As the ships exchanged broadsides, two of Jones' 18-pounders burst on firing, killing their crews and prompting the captain to abandon the remaining four. The Americans were outgunned, and soon both ships were burning, the tar on Bonhomme Richard proving impossible to extinguish.
In desperation Jones ordered grappling hooks thrown aboard Serapis. As Bonhomme Richard and Serapis drew together, the American warship Alliance, under the jealously unstable Capt. Pierre Landais, closed in and fired on the entangled ships, seemingly content to sink both and claim victory for himself (he was later stripped of command).
After the staff holding Bonhomme Richard's flag was shot away and fell into the water, Pearson shouted over to ask whether the Americans had struck their colors. No one heard Jones' exact response, though in his journal the captain noted simply he had replied "in the most determined negative."
Between the holes in the hull and fires on deck, Jones described his circumstances as "really deplorable." But then the main mast of Serapis began to tremble, and Pearson personally tore the British colors from the stern.
The prize, and history, belonged to Jones. The stricken Bonhomme Richard sank two days later.

Horace Porter was not the first person who resolved to bring Jones home.
In 1845 Col. John Henry Sherburne, author of the 1825 book The Life of John Paul Jones, took preliminary steps to repatriate the naval hero's remains.
But Sherburne did not know the location of the body, and Jones' family in Scotland had not agreed to exhumation. Sherburne's biography was the first of more than 20 to follow, not counting fictionalized accounts by Alexandre Dumas and James Fenimore Cooper or the many books for children.
Jones continues to fascinate, even on social media, where nefarious "bots" regularly misquote him.
Jones fretted about his reputation both during and after the war, only to be reassured by the likes of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
In 1783 at Congress' behest he embarked for Europe to collect wartime prize money owed the U.S. government from France, Denmark and other nations. Soon after that commission ended in 1787, Empress Catherine II of Russia invited him to St. Petersburg and asked him to serve in her war against the Ottoman Turks.
Jones agreed, and through the spring of 1789 he served as a rear admiral under Prince Grigory Potemkin. But the expat admiral ultimately fled Russia in a manufactured scandal involving an underage girl.
That December he wrote to Washington about "the danger to which I was exposed by the dark intrigues and mean subterfuges of Asiatic jealousy and malice."
In the spring of 1790 Jones arrived in Paris, where he scraped by on his Russian pension. In August 1791 Jefferson wrote him a reassuring letter, stating in part, "No proof was necessary to satisfy us here of your good conduct everywhere."
Jones' last letter from Jefferson, dated June 1, 1792, informed him Congress had approved his commission as a negotiator for ransoming captives from Algiers. Jefferson noted that 13 of 28 Americans taken in 1785 were still being held (the others had died or escaped), the Algerians demanding some $30,000 for their return.
Jones had no chance to prove his diplomatic skills; he died within weeks of receiving the letter.

Congress had consistently supported Jones and did not hesitate to thank him in a formal 1781 resolution, an honor extended to only five other officers for their wartime service — Washington, Horatio Gates, Anthony Wayne, Daniel Morgan and Nathanael Greene — generals all.
Congress also ordered a medal struck with Jones' likeness, one of a series that included Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette; Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau; Charles Henri Hector, comte d'Estaing; and François Joseph Paul de Grasse — commanders of the French forces that helped win the American Revolutionary War.
Like Lafayette, Jones was a hero on both sides of the Atlantic.
Can he be considered the founder of the U.S. Navy? At the outset of the war Jones urged members of the Continental Congress to establish a more formal force than its Naval Committee overseeing refitted merchant ships.
After the revolution, with the wartime naval fleet disbanded, Jones continued to push. In December 1789 he appealed in a congratulatory letter to newly elected President Washington.
"Your name alone, sir, has established in Europe a confidence that was for some time before entirely wanting in American concerns," he wrote. "I own, however, that I should have stronger hopes if America had created a respectable marine, for that argument would give weight to every transaction with Europe."
Circumstance, and Barbary Coast pirates, ultimately brought the U.S. government around to Jones' view.
In his eulogy to Jones following the return of the captain's body to Annapolis, President Roosevelt hammered the same nail with his habitual subtlety.
"Those of you who are in public life," he said, "have a moral right to be here at this celebration today only if you are prepared to do your part in building up the Navy of the present; for otherwise you have no right to claim lot or part in the glory and honor and renown of the Navy's past."
Roosevelt, too, sought a bigger and better fleet.

On March 31, 1905, after months of digging and false leads, Porter's excavation crew found a promising coffin.
Seven days later, after opening a ventilation shaft to the gallery, they opened the coffin.
The body inside had been bound in a linen winding sheet and the coffin then filled with alcohol (since evaporated) and packed with hay and straw, as if to protect its contents for a long journey. The resulting state of preservation meant a century later it was possible to positively compare the face to a medallion bearing Jones' image.
Porter didn't consider physical semblance adequate evidence, however, and employed forensic experts to perform tests on the body. Their results confirmed it was indeed that of Jones.

On July 6, the 158th anniversary of Jones' birth, French and American politicians, military officers and notables from throughout Europe crowded into the flag- and flower-adorned American Church of the Holy Trinity in Paris for a ceremony of transfer, beginning with the hymn "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" and ending with "Onward, Christian Soldiers."
In a solemn procession attended by thousands of onlookers, a contingent of 500 U.S. sailors and a regiment of French cuirassiers marched down the Champs-Élysées behind a horse-drawn artillery caisson draped in Old Glory and bearing the casket. Jones' remains were then taken by rail to Cherbourg, put aboard the armored cruiser Brooklyn and escorted across the Atlantic by three sister cruisers.
Affixed to his ornate marble and bronze sarcophagus in the U.S. Naval Academy Chapel, a brass plaque memorializes not the legend, not the myth, but the essence of John Paul Jones: He gave our Navy its earliest traditions of Heroism and Victory.
The American naval hero was home at last.

Q: SQL - How to show the difference between multiple rows results I have an SQL 2012 query that gives me the following results:
IP_Country  ds          Percentage
-------------------------------------
Australia   01/01/2013  0.70155
Australia   02/01/2013  0.685
Australia   03/01/2013  0.663594
Australia   04/01/2013  0.737541
Australia   05/01/2013  0.688212
Australia   06/01/2013  0.665384
Australia   07/01/2013  0.620253
Australia   08/01/2013  0.697183

The results go on to show different countries for the same dates and different percentages.
What i need to show, is the movement of those percentages between the dates for the same Country only.
So between 02/01 and 01/01 the difference is 0.02 - i can extract the data and do this in excel, but ideally i would like to have the results come out with the movement in the query.

A: You can use LAG and LEAD to access the previous and next rows.
SELECT *,
        LAG([Percentage]) OVER (PARTITION BY [IP_Country] ORDER BY [ds])
                                                               - [Percentage] AS diff,
       ([Percentage] - LEAD([Percentage]) OVER (PARTITION BY [IP_Country] ORDER BY [ds]))
                                                             / [Percentage] AS [ratio]

MICHELAGNOLO BUONARRUOTI
-MICHELANGELO'S PROJECTS FOR THE FORTIFICATION OF FLORENCE IN 1529
The Casa Buonarroti in Florence preserves a series of ground plans executed by Michelangelo for several fortifications of Florence in I529. These drawings, done in pen and bistre, are for the most part unpublished and perhaps have not, up to the present time, attracted sufficient attention from scholars.1l The authors of general works on the artist have treated only biographical facts, and have sought to give some psychological explanation for the sudden flight of Michelangelo from Florence during the siege of 1529. In monographs devoted to Michelangelo as architect, the activity of the artist as an architect of fortifications has been completely ignored. No special study dedicated to this series of drawings has yet appeared. These folios are, however, of considerable importance, both from the point of view of the development of thee architectural genius of the artist, of which they are a characteristic manifestation, and from the point of view of the history of fortifications in general, in which they mark a turning point. In the early part of 1529, disturbing news was received in the Republic of Florence concerning the plan of Pope Clement VII to restore, with the aid of the imperial army, the Medici, who had abandoned the city in 1527.Thereupon the Popular Government decided, upon the advice of Pietro Navarro, to perfect the unfinished fortifications of the city, begun under the reign of the Medici in 1526.15 A committee of defense, the Nove della Milizia, was established. Its mission was, according to Varchi, to "rassettare le mura, racconciare le torri, far bastioni, e finalemente fortificare quando e dovunque paresse loro che di bisogno facesse. Michelangelo was elected a member of this committee. Shortly there- after, on April 6, 1529, the Signori Dieci della Guerra, "judging it necessary to resist the imminent dangers that were appearing daily from the frequent assaults of the barbarians, named Michelangelo "General Governor and Procurator of the fortifications of Florence." He was appointed for the term of one year, at the salary of one gold florin a day; up to this appointment the artist had worked gratis as a member of the Nove. This position was given to him "in consideration of (his)virtue and discipline. The Republic of Florence evinced this confidence in Michelangelo, despite the fact that he had formerly been in the service of the Medici, since there was no doubt of his republican loyalty and it was known that he was descended from an ancient Guelph family. Furthermore, in choosing him, they recognized his qualities as a specialist in fortifications.21 The artist accepted the new position and went to Ferrara early in August, 1529, in order to study the fortifications -there, which were considered at that time to be the most perfect and the most modern.22 The siege of Florence began October 12, 1529, under the direction of the Prince of Orange. The imperial army, approaching from the south, surrounded in a semicircle the hills of the left bank of the Arno. The siege continued for eleven months, during which time the population of the Republic defended itself courageously until the betrayal of Malatesta Baglioni, Governor General of the city. Benedetto Varchi gives the most precise information concerning the construction of fortifications under the supervision of Michelangelo. We learn from him that Michelan- gelo seems to have begun the fortifications in the southern part of the city by surrounding Monte San Miniato with a wall, beginning at the Porta di San Miniato and returning to it. He made two bastions (puntoni) in the garden of San Miniato at the west side, one bastion near the church of St. Francis (today called San Salvatore) and a similar bastion next to the Campanile of San Miniato. He constructed another bastion by the wall between the Porta di San Miniato and the Porta di San Giorgio. This bastion was known as the Bastione della Fonte alla Ginevera. A large bastion was erected just outside the walls of the city, between the Porta di San Giorgio and the Porta San Piero Gattolini. A long bastion was erected within the walls of the city, between the same two gates. Above the Pitti garden was created a cavaliere (high bastion). A fortification was raised between S. Piero Gattolini and Porta San Friano near the church of the Camaldoli. A bastion was erected near the church of San Donato. Another one was raised to protect the Porticciola del Prato. A bastion was erected near the church of Santa Caterina between the Porta di Faenza and the Porta di San Gallo. A fortification was raised between Porta a Pinti and Porta alla Croce near the Palagetto de'Guardi. One fortification was outside the Porta alla Giustizia. The last was erected on the Prato d'Ognissanti. The first problem is to determine the positions for which Michelangelo intended these drawings now in the Casa Buonarroti. For four of them there is no difficulty, since the artist himself has given us precise indications. Two of these four were made for the Prato d'Ognis- santi, one for the Porta alla Giustizia, and the fourth for the Porta al Prato. Since these drawings are the most complex and most highly developed in conception of the series, we shall discuss them after dispensing with the others. Projects made probablyfor the Porta di San Miniato: There are several drawings bearing no explanatory indications which are certainly plans for fortifications by Michelangelo for the gates of Florence. It is impossible to determine the exact position for which the projects were intended. Varchi says that each of the city's gates was fortified by a bastion, and there were at that time eleven gates. Contemporary views and maps which give in- formation concerning the form of these gates show that they were not fortified according to the plans of Michelangelo; they are, in fact, represented with the old tower as unfortified. Without any doubt, three of the drawings (Figs. 6, 7, and 8 ) were executed for the forti- fication of the same gate. In all three, the form of the gate and the wall is identical. In each instance the gate has two buttresses, and the wall running from the gate on each side is straight and is pierced on the right and left sides by gun emplacements in the form of a half-niche. In spite of the differences in detail, the fundamental idea in all three drawings remains the same. There is an opening in the most advanced part of the bastion, protected in each instance by an inner wall facing this opening within the bastion itself; in the opening the artist places the drawbridge. The lateral walls of the bastion in these three sketches become increasingly complicated; straight walls become curved ones. These three projects were certainly among the early efforts of the artist to draw plans for the fortifications of the city, because in the simplicity of their geometrical form they are still close to traditional types of bastions. Varchi says Michelangelo began his fortifications in the south of the city at the Porta di San Miniato. The wall of ancient Florence at this gate is straight (as are also the walls in these three drawings). Hence there exists the possibility that these drawings might have been made for the Porta di San Miniato. In direct relation with the last of these three drawings (Fig. 8) are two other folios (Figs. 9 and 10). They were doubtless executed at the same time, for they show the same division of the lateral walls of the bastion in three curved ramparts on each side. Further- more, there is a sketch (at the left in Fig. 9) in which the form of the gate with its two buttresses, the form of the wall with its two lateral gun emplacements in the form of a niche, and the position of the drawbridge in its relation to the axis of the gate, are almost the same as in the three drawings that we have tentatively identified with the Porta di San Miniato. The essential difference between the three folios relating to San Miniato and the sketches of these two folios (Figs. 9 and 10) is that in the latter, the artist has omitted the opening in the bastion and has replaced it by a pointed rampart (puntone). This arrangement had already been sketched by Michelangelo (see Fig. 8, upper left). The sketch in the upper center of Figure io shows a bastion almost identical with the bastion in Figure 9. In the former, however, the bastion is at the angle of the walls, from which we may conclude that this sketch applies rather to the Porta di San Piero Gattolini (no. 139 on Bonsignori's map), the only gate in the south part of the city which has a similar arrangement. Three projects for undetermined gates: Three other folios (Figs. I I, 12, and 13) showing rather simple plans must also be placed among Michelangelo's early sketches for the fortifications of the gates of Florence. Consequently these must be for the three gates in the south side of the city which have not been discussed up to now, namely Porta di S. Friano, Porta di S. Giorgio, and Porta a S. Niccolo. It is impossible to say which sketch is intended for which gate. The drawing in Figure I I recalls, because of its diagonal walls, what was probably the first drawing for San Miniato (Fig. 6), and seems, further, because of its simplicity, to have been executed prior to the one for San Miniato. But it is not one of the group pre- sumably destined for San Miniato, because the form of the gate is different, and instead of one drawbridge there are two, one to the left and one to the right of the bastion, and none on the axis of the gate. This curious disposition of the drawbridges may lead us to conclude that this sketch is a first idea of the drawing on the right side of Figure 9 where the bridges are placed in a similar position. There is some analogy between Figure 12 and the second drawing for San Miniato (Fig. 7). We find in these two sketches the same diagonal ramparts which end in scrolls on both sides of the bastion. However, the plan of the gate and of the walls is different from that found in the sketches for San Miniato, and thus we must suppose that Figure 12 was intended for one of the other three gates which we have mentioned. The third drawing (Fig. 13) was inspired by the same idea as the third probable sketch for San Miniato (Fig. 8). The lateral walls are divided into three curved ramparts, and the drawbridge is found on the axis of the gate. The difference is simply that the gate lacks the buttresses, and the wall does not have the gun emplacements in the form of a half-niche. After this final problematic sketch, we may now consider the drawings for which the artist himself has given us indications. Projects for the bastion of Prato d'Ognissanti: Varchi says: "He (Michelangelo) finally made, ofi the Prato d'Ognissanti, near the Tower of the Serpents, a marvelous bastion, and outside, in front of the Tower, they began to raise a quite bold cavaliere."30 The position here indicated is precisely the angle of the city's wall to the west, on the right bank of the Arno, near the original bed of the Mugnione river (see Bonsignori, no. 21). The direction of this little river was diverted in I526, and was made to empty into the Arno near the Porta alla Giustizia. Michelangelo had two different conceptions for the gate of Prato d'Ognissanti. The first version (Fig. 17) shows the Tower of the Serpents fortified by two orecchioni, in the middle of which is a semicircular wall reinforced by a pointed wall. Michelangelo himself has indicated on this drawing the position of the Arno, the Mugnione, and the Prato d'Ognissanti. This sketch gives us the key by which we may determine the destination of three other folios that lack any definite inscription. We find in Figure i6 a sketch almost identical to that of Figure 17. The slight differences are explained by the fact that this drawing shows the plan for the upper part of the fortification, whereas Figure 17 gives the plan for the lowest part, as the inscription of Michelangelo "sotto" and "disotto" indicates. The note by Michelangelo on Figure I6, "Mugnione," is an inscription which leaves no doubt that this was a drawing for Prato d'Ognissanti. The second drawing is found in Figure i5 (upper right); it is not catalogued by Thode. The Tower of the Serpents, the walls at right angles, and the form of the bastion (with two orecchioni) indicate that it again refers to the Prato d'Ognissanti. It appears to be a preliminary sketch for Figure I7. The third drawing of this group (Figure 14, lower left) also shows the Tower of the Serpents, with the walls at right angles, and seems also to be related to the plans for the fortifications of Prato d'Ognissanti. This latter sketch, however, appears even more hastily done than those already discussed, and would seem for this reason to have been the first drawing of this series. We may be equally certain of the second version for Prato d'Ognissanti because of inscriptions by the artist on one drawing of this group (Fig. 20). The bastion in this ver- sion is in the form of a star, but it remains similar to that of the first version by the dis- position of an opening between the two lateral wings. Figure 20 gives us a possible key by which we may determine the destination of two other drawings: one, Figure 19, bears in the upper left corner a preliminary sketch of Figure 20; the inscription "al canto del Prato" can only indicate the Prato d'Ognissanti. The second is Figure 18, where we find the preliminary sketches for this star-form of the bastion of Prato d'Ognissanti. Projects for the bastion of Porta al Prato: Varchi says: "Outside the Porticciuola del Prato they made a very large bastion with a very deep moat and some casemates. The Porta al Prato is the first gate of the west wall on the right bank of the Arno (Bonsignori's map, no. 133), just above the fortifications of Prato d'Ognissanti. Michelangelo, in his sketch for the Prato d'Ognissanti, Figure 20, indicated the position of this gate. Thereexists a large drawing, with inscriptions by Michelangelo, for the fortification of this gate by a bastion (Fig. 2I).33 This again is a fortification in the form of a star, similar to the sec- ond version of the fortification of Prato d'Ognissanti (Fig. 20). It differs from the latter in that it lacks the round wall in the center of the bastion, and presents a more complicated development of the lateral wings. This sketch further indicates that Figure 24 must also be considered a plan for the Porta al Prato, for its bastion is almost identical in form. The reverse side of the same folio (Fig. 25) contains a sketch (lower left corner) which seems to be another variant for the Porta al Prato. Hypothetically, we may place Figure 23 in relation to the Porta al Prato. The sketch is perhaps the first drawing for this gate. Figure 26 has a very complicated bastion, but its half-octagonal form of gate is almost identical with that of the Porta al Prato.34 Projectfor the Puntone della Porta alla Giustizia: Varchi says: "Outside of the Porta alla Giustizia there was a pointed bastion (puntone) which was made similar in form to a fortification."35 The Porta alla Giustizia is located on the right bank of the Arno and is the first gate of the east wall of the city. This fortification was called at the end of the sixteenth century "Baluardo di Mogibello" (see Bonsignori's map, no. 24). There is only one draw- ing by the artist for this puntone. It bears his inscription: "la Porta alla lustitia" (Fig. 22). The pointed bastion, in this drawing, is oriented in the direction of the Arno, and dominates strategically the opposite bank of the river. The series of sketches which we have discussed presents a development which proceeds from the simple to the complex in form, and from a geometric conception to an organic one. The sketches demonstrate that Michelangelo occupied himself with all the fortifica- tions of the city, as Varchi says, and not simply with the fortifications of San Miniato, as we have been led to believe by Condivi and Vasari. It seems that none of the fortifications was executed according to the drawings of the Casa Buonarroti.36 We know, in fact, from the correspondence of Busini that the Gon- faloniere Niccolo Capponi disagreed with Michelangelo about his plans. In any case, none of the bastions designed by Michelangelo is in existence today. Varchi says: "Near the church of San Miniato whre was and is yet rofcampanile, the there was a bastion. The walls in this place are extant today, but the bastion seems to have been destroyed by Duke Cosimo I, who restored the fortifications of Florence. The earliest bastions were erected in the middle of the fifteenth century, at the timewhen artillery began to use gun powder and thus reduced the effectiveness of the ancient fortifications. The new bastions were distinguished from the old towers by the fact that the walls were built in diagonal form, thus diminishing the danger of cannon fire. Examples of this disposition of bastions are found in the school of the Tuscan masters of fortifications before Michelangelo, such as those of Antonio da San Gallo in Leghorn ( I55), those of Antonio da San Gallo the Younger for Civitavecchia (I515) and later for the Fortezza del Basso of Florence (I534), and those for Perugia (Fig. 28). These fortifications were conceived simply as defensive arrangements. They were always designed in a purely geometric form of a polygon. They consisted of bastions at the corners and sometimes in the center of walls which continued in a straight line between them, and they were sur- rounded by moats to protect the base of the walls. Michelangelo's new conception consisted of this: the bastions were for him not simply defensive ramparts, but were also considered as centers of attack. Michelangelo's vision was purely dynamic. In order to lessen the offensive power of the enemy, he constructed curved and diagonal walls, and in order to give to these bastions an offensive character he divided the walls into a series of curved ramparts, in the intervals of which he set gun emplacements. These complicated systems were practically unapproachable, for the enemy, in approaching, was in danger of being surrounded. The contemporaries of the artist recognized that the novelty of the new bastions in Florence consisted in "too many ramparts" and "too many gun positions"; but they unjustly criticized these inventions of Michelangelo. From the point of view of military effectiveness, the projects of Michelangelo seem to be the most perfect fortification plans of the sixteenth century. In fact, the possibility of a successful enemy attack was reduced to a minimum and at the same time a maximum of active defense was assured. There is no reason to be astonished that the greatest archi- tect of fortifications of the seventeenth century, Vauban, studied with admiration the fortifications of Florence by Michelangelo. But the military conception in these drawings is correlated with an eminently artistic spirit. They are bold emanations of a sculptor's fantasy which considers edifices not as abstract geometric forms, but as concrete living organisms. In fact, Michelangelo, in one of his letters (Milanesi, p. 544), defined the principle of architecture as follows: "It is certain that the members (elements) of architecture depend upon the members of the human body. Whoever has not been or is not a good master of the body, and especially of anatomy, can understand nothing" (of architecture). In the drawings of fortifications in the Casa Buonarroti, this organic principle is uppermost. However, instead of an anthropo- morphic inspiration (as pointed out in the above letter), we find a zoomorphic one. Thebastions in the drawings remind us of cross-sections of certain crustacea. Several of these sketches in the shape of a star with their long antennae, and others in the form of orrechioni with their extended pincers, bear a relationship to cross-sections of the lobster and the crab. The forces which radiate from these bodies (gun fire) may be compared to the physiological functions of these animals. The importance of these drawings in the architectural development of Michelangelo resides in the fact that, although executed during his maturity, which was his first period of activity in architecture, he had already developed in them ideas which were to find their full realization only in his old age. Although their most important element is the mass of the walls, exemplified also in other architectural works of the same period (the fagade of San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapel, and the library of San Lorenzo), we find also that the artist considers here, for the first time, the positive value of the spaces between the walls. These spaces, conceived as expanding forces which penetrate and determine the form of the masses, received their greatest emphasis in the architectural drawings of his old age. Furthermore, the technique of these sketches foreshadows the technique employed in the architectural drawings of his later period. Up to this time he had sketched his ground plans simply with pen or chalk; here we see that he employed bistre for the first time in order to accentuate the plastic mass of the walls, as he did in his later period (e.g., the ground plans of the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini). In the manner of a sculptor, he models the walls as if they were of a malleable material. Thus they assume at times an ornamental aspect. The complicated star-like forms and the beautiful scrolls, which recall so much the broken gables of the Porta Pia, anticipate the ideas which he was to realize in his last period. Michelangelo received commissions to execute projects for fortifications several times later in his career. In 1535, he made projects for Civitavecchia. In 1545-46, 1547-48, and I56I, he busied himself with the fortifications of the Borgo in Rome. We do not intend here to treat in detail these later projects, but merely wish to point out the difference of conception of these later fortifications of Michelangelo from that of his earlier years. We should like to call attention to an unpublished sketch for a fortification preserved in the Vatican Library, probably intended for the Borgo. This sketch shows a fortification in the form of a star similar to Figure 23, although more regular in its shape than the drawings for Florence. Perhaps this new tendency towards regularity in the later period of the artist may be explained by the fact that his projects for Florence, extremely personal, were not easily realized; they were too costly and required too much time for execution. This last drawing would appear to be an effort on the part of Michelangelo to adapt his personal idea of fortifications to the practical requirements of execution.

Lacrosse booster club president charged with theft
Editorial July 31, 2017
(AP) — The president of a booster club for a high school boys' lacrosse team has been charged with stealing nearly $28,000 from the club. Delaware State Police said Friday […]
(AP) — The president of a booster club for a high school boys' lacrosse team has been charged with stealing nearly $28,000 from the club.
Delaware State Police said Friday that Stephanie Trimmer had been charged with theft. Police said Trimmer began stealing from the booster club's bank account in February 2016.
Officials with the Cape Henlopen School District notified detectives in June that the booster club's bank account had a negative balance when it should have several thousand dollars.
Trimmer was not immediately available for comment. Police said she was arraigned and released on bond.
