A few years ago, we saw these Christmas balloons popping up around the landscape. So, in keeping with our late adopter strategy, we waited a few years until everyone else caught up and bought one - us and the other 45,368 citizens of our area of the world. They are pretty neat. The little balloons come in many forms. We got the plain vanilla Frosty the Snowman, but other characters abound - just drive around.
Frosty was born in China in a little cubical egg. His egg has a handy handle to easily transport him to his birthplace.
We had to take Frosty out of the egg ourselves. Then we set him on his stand and got his fan cord out. We hooked all his little tethers together and plugged him in, giving him his first breath of life.
Frosty's tummy fills out first, not unlike me. Junior gives him a hand. We eventually found the little zipper in his bottom and closed it, such that he grew a little faster.
Frosty grows taller than Junior. With his bottom zipped up, Frosty grew at an amazing rate. Note the conspicuous shortage of snow - guess where its all going!!
We were a little worried about Frost's head. It seemed as though his scarf was cutting air circulation from his head. We spotted some abnormal stitching that was strangeling Frosty! Luckly, Junior spotted this and we cut it loose. Frosty quickly revived and went on growing.
All grown up. Frosty joins the other festive decor of the season. We have since turned him towards the road to great well wishers and the UPS delivery folks.

Pirate Bay a victim as Go Daddy suspends hundreds of new gTLD domains
Kevin Murphy, February 25, 2014, 11:00:54 (UTC), Domain Registrars
New gTLDs may have only been in general availability for a few weeks, but there's already evidence of substantial abuse.
Go Daddy has suspended at least 305 new gTLD domain names, putting them on its spam-and-abuse.com name servers, standard Go Daddy practice for domains suspected of abuse.
Over 250 of these were put on the naughty step in the last 24 hours.
The suspended names include, notably, thepiratebay.guru, which matches the name of controversial torrent site frequented by people who like downloading copyrighted material for free.
The Pirate Bay has been switching TLDs like crazy recently, as one ccTLD after another shuts down its latest attempt to find a reliable home.
The .guru domain is registered under Go Daddy's Domains By Proxy privacy service, so it's not clear if it actually belongs to The Pirate Bay or to an opportunistic third party.
Other suspended names include premium-looking names such as electric.guru, sexualhealth.guru, as well as obvious cybersquatted names such as verizon.guru (not registered to Verizon).
But the majority of the suspended names seem to belong to a single registrant in Washington state, all in .guru and largely "pigeon shit" names such as bestdrinksites.guru and bestfashionsites.guru.
While 305 seems like a large number (albeit only 0.2% of the current new gTLD names sold), it appears that so far a single individual is responsible for most of the "abuse" in new gTLDs.

Love the technical term "pigeon shit" names Kevin! The description is right on the head!
Kevin Murphy says:
It's Rick Schwartz's technical term. He's been using it on his blog the last couple of years.
Hat Tip to Rick then.

My latest homemade sauerkraut batch made from red cabbage – ready in 9 days!
Using clean hands, mix the cabbage together, squeezing and pulverising the juices out of them!
Screw lid on and let sit on your kitchen bench-top away from direct sunlight for 3 days or more! Once a day, remember to open the lid to let the gases "burb" out to prevent the bottle from exploding!
The longer you let it ferment, the more tart and sourish it will taste! Taste it every day for your desired tartness. When done, store in fridge to slow-down/"halt" the fermentation process. Recycling the liquid "brine" for the next batch you are going to make will speed up fermentation time and add flavor!
Making Sauerkraut is one of the simplest forms of fermented foods you can do at home! They can be ready in as little as 3 days.
Fermented foods are nature's probiotics. They do wonders for your gut and overall health. From cancer prevention  to cognitive enhancement and neuro-protective effects . When you correctly ferment something, the bacteria that proliferate also make the nutrients more bio-available, increasing the food's nutritional content.
Personally I'm not much of a fan of supplements and always find natural is best! And so instead of spending money on probiotic pills, I try to include a good variety of fermented foods in my diet. I eat about a tablespoon of sauerkraut a day, often as a condiment to my main meal.
I don't recommend yogurt or fermented dairy products anymore because of the cruelty of the dairy industry and how its just not natural for humans, any animal for that matter, to continue drinking the milk of another species after they have been weaned off of mother's milk as a child. Its just not necessary!
Making your own sauerkraut can cost a fraction of store-bought ones!
A whole spray-free cabbage costs ~$5 and I normally buy that to eat (because its cheaper than buying half 😁). After 2 weeks in the fridge, I still have quite a bit! Knowing that the nutritional value of the cabbage deteriorates with time, I use the remaining to make sauerkraut.
It costs ~NZ$10 or more for a store-bought bottle of kraut' whereas I probably don't even use a fifth ($1) of it to make that jar above!
I hope that's enough to convince you to start fermenting your own kraut'!
Be very prudent and go slow at the start, especially if you are new to eating fermented foods on a daily basis or have a known gut microbiome dysbiosis.
Many people will experience a "detox" effect such as loose stools or aromatic gases coming out the other end!
There are occasionally serious intolerance reactions such as allergic reactions or exacerbation of cognitive disorders like depression .
Do consult an experienced naturopath if you have such a concern.
But in general, my advice is to start with 1 teaspoon. Wait and see how you feel the next day. If all is good, slowly increase the dose until you are having a tablespoon each meal.
I regularly consume kombucha and coconut yogurt too!

Australian technology platforms join forces
As the value of diverse workforces grows, a home-grown Aussie partnership has formed between Australian Technology platforms WaveXD and our own Diversity Atlas platform to help organisations provide more socially equitable outcomes and build better performing teams.
Social inclusion recruitment platform WaveXD and Cultural Infusion's diversity mapping platform Diversity Atlas combine skills to create more diverse and equitable workplaces.
Diverse workplaces not only bring social value, but are also more innovative and adaptable. Using Australian technology, such as Diversity Atlas, you can better understand your existing diversity and take steps to value and grow workplace diversity. This data-analysis platform provides insight into cultural and demographic diversity within an organisation. It enables organisations to understand the diverse richness of its teams and to better measure, understand, acknowledge and act on its diversity inclusion and development strategies.
WaveXD has created a marketplace that can match diverse talent communities from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander job seeker candidates, people with a disability or refugee jobseekers to employees' work requirements. With Melbourne-based Cultural Infusion's diversity mapping platform, Diversity Atlas employees will also have a better understanding of the diversity they already have using data analytics and featuring an interactive online dashboard that can help them establish more diverse and inclusive workplaces.
Diversity Atlas can assess the cultural and demographic traits of an organisation or workplace. It measures the full richness of diversity beyond gender and establishes a baseline across teams. This data can be used by the organisation to create more effective diversity and inclusion strategies and action plans, that can lead to stronger workforce engagement and performance.
"Our lives are shaped by our culture, which defines every single human being," explains Cultural Infusion's CEO Peter Mousaferiadis.
"Where you're from, what languages you speak, what you believe in – it's never become more important to know who the other is. Diversity Atlas' Australian technology can give us the data to build genuine relationships with one another. It provides the nuances and details that organisations need to understand the multiple dimensions of diversity to foster a sense of community and social cohesion."
Customers, clients and investors are increasingly attracted to businesses with corporate social responsibility credentials that align with their own beliefs.
"Our vision is to build an inclusive world and our social inclusion platform enables every business to do that and access diverse talent," says CEO of WaveXD, Anna Robson.
"The WaveXD social inclusion platform enables every job to be considered a chance to hire someone from a diverse background by linking community employment organisations supporting diverse candidates with all job vacancies employers have rather than just a few jobs. By linking diverse jobseekers with the support they need and connecting them with employers that need these skills, diversity becomes a strength that will ensure our community and economy becomes stronger and more enriched."
In joining forces, these two Australian technology companies are aiming to put equality and inclusion at the forefront of hiring decisions.
About WaveXD
WaveXD Technology is Australia's leading social enterprise technology solutions company providing a cloud based employment platform that raises the visibility of diverse talent including refugees, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jobseekers, those living with a disability, LGBTQI+, women experiencing DV and linking them with employers looking to fill talent shortages.

Hitting the pads or the bag, and landing shots on an opponent in Muay Thai are two very different things. When you first start sparring, it might seem absolutely impossible to land anything at all! The target is moving left to right, swaying side to side, too far away or even too close! Then on top of all of that, they're hitting you too!
One thing often neglected by many martial artists is the deliberate use of feints to open up opportunities. You need to be fast, fit, and accurate of course, but without openings in your opponents guard, you'll never land that shot.
Essentially any time you half-throw a technique that is not intended to land but to make the opponent flinch, that's a feint. For example, you might throw the jab halfway to your opponents face before throwing a left hook. They believe the shot is coming straight at them so close their guard directly in front of their face, before your hook slides around the side to land. Simple right? Not quite. In order to really "sell" a feint, it takes a little ground work too. This is what we call "setting up" a shot, or combo attack. When used together, feints and set ups can be a devastating combination.
Multiple-time Muay Thai World Champion and ONE Superstar Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke is known as a technical fighter with quick hands and lightning feet.
A set up is all the work done leading up to a final feint and genuine attack. It's important to get the opponent to respect your techniques first so that any reaction gained from a feint is a real one. If you've already landed a hard leg kick, or at least thrown a real one, your opponent knows to block it the next time they see one coming. This can allow you to feint one, in order to set something else up.
One effective way of misdirecting the opponent is using the eyes. Generally, during a bout or sparring you should keep your gaze somewhere at the opponents chest, eyes steady but relaxed so that you can see the whole picture using your peripheral vision. If you look at your opponents leg then, they'll usually expect you to be attacking that next. To begin setting up the head kick, land a few leg kicks and deliberately look at the opponents leg as you do. This doesn't have to be done all at once. Remember your opponent will be attacking too so take your time, relax and throw a few kicks in this way. Don't be surprised if your opponent starts to get wise and block these (as they should), that's exactly what you want.
The effect of a continued attack to the lower half of the body is a false sense of security when it comes to the head. All but the most disciplined fighters hands start to drop a little when they think their head is safe from attack. If you want to ensure this drop, however, continue your attack, but using body shots now too. Hopefully, now you'll notice your opponents guard start to relax and drop a little. It's almost time for the feint.
By now your opponent knows two things. Firstly that they definitely need to block your hard low kicks. Secondly, that they need to be careful of your incoming attack to the body. Now is the time to go for that head kick. Not all at once though, we still need to effectively "sell" the dummy shot.
What you want to do here is fake the leg kick again. This can be done in a few ways. If you're newer to the game, a simple snap of the hip will do. Make the motion of throwing a kick but keep your feet planted, just throw the hip towards the opponent to get a reaction, and then throw a high kick instead. Another method requires a fair bit of speed but is slightly more effective. Actually lift the foot of the kicking leg off the floor and begin the motion of the kick properly, before putting the foot back down, stepping in again with the lead leg in a skipping motion, and then delivering a powerful high kick. And don't forget to glance at your opponents leg to really mislead them.
With any luck, your opponent expects a leg kick and stands their ground to block on one leg, arms slightly relaxed and oblivious to your true intention. Even if you make a mistake and don't quite land clean, it's still going to be a scoring shot and at the very least damage the arm and knock the opponent off balance. You can drill both of these feinting movements on a partner, or on the bag in your own time to really sharpen them up. Try using a mirror or even filming yourself and analyzing whether your feints really look genuine.
Setting up the Muay Thai head kick in this way might seem like a complex and long winded way of landing a knockout shot. For someone just starting out, with a little sparring here and there, it may seem almost impossible to relax enough and have the presence of mind to run through something so complex. Don't worry, feinting and setting up shots are probably two of the trickiest things to really learn in martial arts. With time and practice, you'll learn how to set up your favorite shots in dozens of different ways.
Start small, try feinting with head shots to land body shots, or in reverse to land shots up top. All you're trying to do is get a reaction from your opponent, so literally any little movement you make towards them that gets them flinching and thinking counts. Try a few feints next time you spar, and you might just find striking opportunities presenting themselves where before they didn't.

U.S. President Donald Trump forced the cancellation of a trip to Afghanistan by his Democratic opponent Nancy Pelosi on Jan. 17, and cancelled administration officials' travel to the Davos forum as a government shutdown plunged Washington deeper into deadlock.
The mess in the U.S. capital already verged on the surreal as Congress feuds with the White House over how to end an impasse now in its fourth week, with thousands of federal workers left unpaid. But now it is also getting increasingly personal between the two main antagonists.
"I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is appropriate," he wrote.
Pelosi and her delegation had planned a non-publicized trip to Afghanistan – an active war zone – and were due to travel aboard a U.S. Air Force plane. Her office said Egypt was not on the itinerary.
According to a congressional aide, several lawmakers were already loaded onto buses preparing to leave the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 17 when Trump pulled the plug. Rubbing it in, Trump said that Pelosi could still book her own non-government flights.
"Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative," he wrote.
The cancellation followed Pelosi's suggestion that Trump postpone his January 29 State of the Union address to Congress, or do it from the White House instead.
Although she cited the shutdown's effect on security, she appeared to want to deny the president one of his chief annual moments in the limelight.
"Oversight is the responsibility of Congress, and it is inappropriate for the President to interfere with our constitutional duties," Luria said in a statement.
"One sophomoric response does not deserve another," Graham said.
The government shutdown is due to Trump's refusal to sign off on funding for a host of departments, in retaliation for the Democratic-led House's refusal to approve his US-Mexico border wall project.
The shutdown is leaving an increasingly deep impact across the country, where for almost a month FBI agents, museum workers, U.S. Coast Guard personnel and other officials have been either ordered to stay home or forced to work without pay.
Regular employees will get back pay eventually, while contractors will not. The Democrats and the White House blame each other for the impasse, with neither side showing signs of backing down. Trump critics quickly pointed out that he himself visited troops in Iraq during the shutdown.
House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff said he believed cancelling a speaker of the House's fact-finding mission to a war zone was a first for a US president.
"We believe this is completely inappropriate by the president. We're not going to allow the President of the United States to tell the Congress it can't fulfill its oversight responsibilities, it can't ensure that our troops have what they need whether our government is open or closed," he told reporters.

All American XVII: Glory Be (Paperback)
By Bruce Weber (Illustrator)
Here in Miami, Just Like We Are
Books & Books Inc. Coral Gables
On hand as of Jul 8 3:15pm
In this seventeenth edition of his annual arts journal, Bruce Weber considers the wisdom of the experienced and the conviction of the young as a framework for hope in disorienting times. He profiles the veteran stage actor Cherry Jones and the long-time CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer, whose respective careers stand as testaments to personal ingenuity, common sense, and the power of adaptability. The uncommon life of the late philanthropist and entrepreneur Jay Weiss—a pillar of the Miami community—is narrated with humor and candor by two of his daughters, Jennie Weiss Block and Laurie Weiss Nuell. Patti Ragan, the founder of the Center for Great Apes, shares her devotion to primates abandoned by the entertainment industry. In addition to these profiles, Weber presents photo essays devoted to Sergeant James Jensen IV, a decorated Army veteran trying to navigate the return to civilian life, and Marge Winski, the soulful lighthouse keeper who stands watch over Montauk Point on the East End of Long Island, NY.
All-American XVII: Glory Be is also rich with original commissioned works. Noe Dewitt documents the final days of the Saint Anthony school in Jersey City, in a story that explores the unique relationship between its celebrated basketball coach, Bob Hurley, and one of his last star players, R.J. Cole. An all-star lineup of contemporary women photographers—Lynda Churilla, Stef Mitchell, Yelena Yemchuk and Olivia Bee—reflect on the experience of chronicling the Women's March in Washington, D.C. earlier this year. And Joel Griffith presents a highly personal, contemplative study of the Rockaways—a quiet corner of Queens that mirrors the hopes and contradictions of New York City at large.
The journal closes with Bruce Weber's personal dedication to Sam Shepard—the celebrated author, playwright and a frequent subject of his lens.
Over the past 15 years, the photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber has published the book series All-American, an independent portfolio of work by artists, photographers, essayists, poets, and personalities whose lives and accomplishments warrant celebration.

Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice: Then Versus Now
Pride and Prejudice: Then versus Now Pride and Prejudice written by Jane Austen in the early nineteenth century portrays the life of women and their attitudes toward marriage. Marriage, the major theme in the novel, is depicted as a way of social verification. The only way women could have a standing in their class was through their husband's finances. Men were the owners of any type of property, which means that women could only obtain anything through their husbands. Thus, women tended to marry based on the ideas of wealth and social gratification. Jane Austen auspiciously illustrates societies concept of marriage in her novel. England's early nineteenth century was measured off of class, wealth, and etiquette. The social status of a woman declared by the wealth and prestige of either her family or husband. Hence why women were forced to marry based on these concepts, there was a slim chance a woman could actually marry for love. Today's marriages are more open; No matter the social class, race, or wealth a woman can marry whomever she pleases. The differences between contemporary marriage and traditional marriages will be compared through Austen's Pride and Prejudice illustration of the nineteenth 2 century society and the roles of women and marriage and today's perfect idea of marriage. Pride and Prejudice is a realistic novel because it is known as an early Victorian writing. Realism is a penchant of Victorian fiction to refer to the truthful representation of the
Marriage In Jane Austen's 'Pride And Prejudice'
In this essay I will examine various concepts and ideas on marriage of some of the characters form Jane Austen 's book. There is no denying that early 19th century 's approach to marriage was based on creating materially beneficial relationship for both husband and wife. Especially for young women, marriage was an only option to have a prosperous life and respect from community they belonged to. It was a case of honour and a chance to safetly settle down and provide oneself a decent future. In the book this kind of attitude was represented especially by Mrs. Bennet, the mother of Bennets sisters.
Love And Marriage In Pride And Prejudice
Jane Austen uses the Bennet family to illustrate different types of marriage and thus reveals her own view on the topic. "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." This is the first line of the novel Pride and Prejudice and stands as one of the most famous lines in literature. It explains almost the whole plot of the novel in one simple sentence. The fixation with socially advantageous marriage in nineteenth-century English society reveals itself here,
Conflict In Pride And Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by Jane Austin during the Georgian era. It tells the story of an old woman, Mrs. Bennet, who strives to ensure her daughters ' marriage to wealthy husbands in order to sustain the family financially. The novel discusses some themes like pride, prejudice, social class and individual vs. society through characterization and plot. Jane Austin conveys her central message about how individuals are trapped in social norms but could revolt against them in a smooth way. The story is based on the Bennet 's family made up of five daughters with Mrs. Bennet 's obsession to have them married to rich people in order to ensure the survival of the family.
Reasons For Marriage In Pride And Prejudice By Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice is a novel set Georgian England times focusing on the relationship between classes and the legitimacy and true reason for marriage. In the novel Jane Austen, the author, satirizes the vanity of the people during the time of the plot by outlining the fact that they get married for economic gain, are not educated about humility at a young age, and look at others flaws before their own. Charlotte and Mr. Collins relationship and marriage are used by Jane Austen to show the problems with marriages in the time of the novel. As exemplified in this marriage, women married for economic gain and stability. Austen describes Charlotte's view on marriage,"Without thinking highly of either men or marrying, marriage had always been her object; it was the only provision for a well- educated young women of a small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness, must be their pleasant preservative from want" (Austen 74), In this passage the author clearly tells the reader what Charlotte's actual reason for marriage is and gives the reader an insight into how some women thought during the time of the novel.
Literary Theory In Pride And Prejudice
It can be interpreted as women being always ready for marriage and have no other priorities than to get married. According to De Beauvoir women's inferiority is the result of the difference in the upbringing of both men and women. Women are socialized in a particular way to think that they are inferior to men. It is man who has the power to control the lives of women. A woman in the nineteenth century needed to be submissive, shy and docile as these are the characteristics needed for marriage so that the woman does not have to remain a
House Of Mirth Analysis
Like I mentioned before, most of the marriage in this novel was loveless and based around personal gain. In today's society, for the most part, marriage is based upon finding someone you love and admire. The role that women are given in this novel is almost like their jobs are to get married and to show off their husbands wealth. In today's society it is more than common for women to be independent and not get married until they are much older. This novel is important to read because it reminds people what society used to be like for
The Necklace And Kate Chopin's The Story Of An Hour
In order to be able to fully understand Chopin's message, readers must envision the tradition of the Victorian society in which Kate lived. This was a society that clearly defined the gender role. Looking at Louse Mallard, one of the characters in the book, the author uses a woman who suddenly discovered a new life after the death of her husband. Ironically, Kate depicts Louise's independence as a doomed fantasy because such freedom was actually unrealistic for the 19th Century woman. In this book, Chopin clearly outlines the importance of a woman's identity other than her main role as a man's wife
Impacts Of Primogeniture In Sense And Sensibility By Jane Austen
Primogeniture is a main issue discussed in Austen's novel as the man has the ability to break vows and marry for economic gain. Austen presents the limited lifestyle that women live as a result of primogeniture. This essay will analyze the impacts of primogeniture on women and the freedoms of both male and female characters as portrayed by Austen in her novel. Tarpley, Joyce Kerr. "Sonship, Liberty, and Promise Keeping in Sense and Sensibility."
Theme Of Marriage In Pride And Prejudice
In the novel, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen effectively portrays how women believe marriage is a necessity to have a satisfied life. The major characters of the story represent the important role in the theme revolving around the dominant reasons an individual desires to marry during the 19th century. For example, the youngest Bennet daughter, Lydia, elopes with Wickham to guarantee that they are going to get married since they live in an era of rigid restrictions. Elizabeth Bennet is a brilliant, deferential, and sharp woman whom does not allow society to interfere in her way. Moreover, the Lucas' are a family of minor gentry.
Mansfield Park Theme Analysis
In the novel Mansfield Park, in chapters 1 to 5, marriage is presented as a tool for social elevation, a way for financial gain and a woman's duty. An example of this is shown from the introductory paragraph which clearly shows how Miss Maria Ward had benefited from her marriage with the baronet Sir Thomas. This is shown by the quote "thereby raised to the rank of a baronet's lady, with all the comforts and consequences of an handsome house and large income" (chapter1, page 1). It seems as though Jane Austin's own view of marriage is depicted by Edmund's view of marriage which is that marriage should happen because of love and not financial gain. The idea of financial gain and gain of

Drunken Policewoman Kills 4 Indian Students in US
Four Indian IT students, together with three girls, were killed and another was injured when an off-duty and it appears that drunk a policewoman crashed her car into their vehicle on a public road in the US State of Missouri. The five, all hailing from Andhra Pradesh and studying for MS degree in information technology in Eastern Illinois University, were returning home on a Honda Accord when the policewoman's SUV, speeding on the wrong lane, hit them head-on in Des Peres, authorities said.
Four of the students — Anusha Anumolu (23), Satya S Chinta (25), Anita Lakshmi (23) and Priya Muppvarapu (23) — died on the spot while 27-year-old Nitesh Adusumilli, who was driving the car, was seriously injured. The policewoman, identified as 41-year-old Chrissy Miller, was off-duty from her job at the Sunset Hills Police Department.
She is also in a critical condition at St John's Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur, media reports said. "They had a plan to go to an Indian restaurant and going to bowling alley, and they were returning back to home," said Suren Pathuri, an acquaintance of the victims.
He said the bodies of the four victims will be sent to India. "We do suspect that alcohol may have played a part in this crash on Miss Miller's part," said Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergent Al Nothum.

John George Haigh (* 24. Juli 1909 in Stamford (Lincolnshire); † 10. August 1949 in London) war ein britischer Serienmörder. Er ist als der "Säurebadmörder" oder auch als der "Vampir von London" bekannt.

Er tötete im Wesentlichen aus Habgier sechs Menschen und löste die Leichname in einem Behälter mit Schwefelsäure auf.

Früheres Leben

John Haigh wurde von seinen Eltern, die Mitglieder der Brüderbewegung waren, streng religiös erzogen. Aufgrund seiner Fähigkeiten erhielt er ein Stipendium für die Oberschule in Wakefield und gewann ein weiteres Stipendium als Sängerknabe von der Kathedrale in Wakefield.

Später arbeitete er zunächst als Verkäufer. Er konnte sich gewählt ausdrücken und kleidete sich gern gepflegt. 1934 heiratete er Beatrice Hamer. Als er im November desselben Jahres wegen Betruges festgenommen wurde, ging die Beziehung bereits nach kurzer Zeit in die Brüche. Auch in den Folgejahren schlug sich Haigh mit kriminellen Machenschaften durchs Leben. 1936 arbeitete er für den Geschäftsmann W. D. McSwan als Sekretär und Chauffeur. Ein Jahr später wurde er erneut wegen Betruges verurteilt, diesmal zu vier Jahren Gefängnis. Durch den Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden viele Straftäter, die nicht wegen Straftaten gegen Leib und Leben verurteilt wurden, vorzeitig entlassen. So wurde auch Haigh 1940 wieder aus dem Gefängnis entlassen. Erneut betätigte er sich mit kleineren Betrügereien. Mit seiner Beute war es ihm 1943 sogar möglich, sich im gehobeneren Onslow Court Hotel in South Kensington, London einzuquartieren.

Die Morde

1944 mietete sich Haigh ein kleines Arbeitszimmer im Untergeschoss eines Hauses in Kensington. Dort arbeitete er angeblich an seinen Erfindungen. Am 9. September 1944 lockte er Donald McSwan, den Sohn seines früheren Arbeitgebers, in dieses Arbeitszimmer und tötete ihn dort. Haigh hatte die Tat gut vorbereitet. Nachdem er sein Opfer bewusstlos geschlagen hatte, löste er den Körper in einem Bad aus Schwefelsäure auf. Die restliche Säure kippte er in den Abwasserkanal im Keller. Im Hof hinter dem Gebäude verteilte er die zähflüssigen Rückstände. Danach übertrug er sich mit gefälschten Papieren den Besitz von Donald McSwan.

Die Eltern von Donald McSwan machten sich nach einiger Zeit aufgrund des plötzlichen Verschwindens ihres Sohnes Sorgen. Haigh beruhigte sie mit der Behauptung, Donald McSwan habe sich versteckt, um sich der Einberufung in die Armee zu entziehen. Die McSwans glaubten ihm und nahmen sogar eine Einladung in sein Arbeitszimmer an. Dort tötete Haigh 1945 auch diese beiden auf die gleiche Art wie ihren Sohn. Danach schrieb er gefälschte handschriftliche Nachrichten an die Angestellten, Verwandten und Freunde der McSwans mit dem Inhalt, dass diese in ein entferntes Land gezogen seien und er ihre geschäftlichen Angelegenheiten besorgen solle. Dadurch eignete sich Haigh die umfangreichen Besitztümer der McSwans an, verlor das beträchtliche Vermögen aber wieder durch Glücksspiel.

Haigh benötigte daher weiteres Geld und fand im wohlhabenden Rentnerehepaar Dr. Archibald und Rosalie Henderson seine nächsten Opfer. Die Hendersons boten im August 1947 ein Haus in Ladbroke Grove zum Verkauf an. Haigh begann mit ihnen zu verhandeln und gab letztendlich vor, aufgrund eines schiefgegangenen Geschäfts das Haus nicht sofort erwerben zu können. Zwischen ihm und den Hendersons entstand eine freundschaftliche Beziehung. Auf diese Weise gelang es Haigh am 12. Februar 1948, auch Archibald Henderson in sein Arbeitszimmer zu locken. Dort tötete er sein Opfer mit einem Kopfschuss und löste auch dessen Leichnam in einem Säurebad auf. Anschließend kehrte er zu Rosalie Henderson zurück und teilte ihr mit, dass sich ihr Ehemann unwohl fühle und nach ihr verlangte. Rosalie Henderson begleitete Haigh zu seinem Arbeitszimmer und verlor auf die gleiche Weise ihr Leben. Auch in diesem Fall ließ er die Angestellten, Verwandten und Freunde der Hendersons durch gefälschte Nachrichten im falschen Glauben und eignete sich das beträchtliche Vermögen seiner Opfer an. Wie zuvor verlor er auch dieses Mal das Vermögen durch Glücksspiel.

1949 war Haigh überschuldet und suchte nach einem neuen Opfer, das er im Restaurant des von ihm bewohnten Onslow Court Hotels fand. Dort traf er wiederholt zur Essenszeit die wohlhabende verwitwete Rentnerin Henrietta Helen Olivia Robarts Durand-Deacon. Die 69-jährige Dame glaubte, Haigh sei ein Geschäftsmann. Als erfolgreicher Verkäufer sollte er für ihre Idee zur Herstellung von Fingernägeln aus Kunststoff werben. Haigh schlug vor, diese Idee in seinem Arbeitszimmer zu besprechen, und lockte Henrietta Durand-Deacon auf diese Weise am 18. Februar 1949 dorthin. Wie bei seinen vorherigen Morden schoss er seinem Opfer von hinten in den Kopf und löste den Leichnam in einem Säurebad auf. Später berichtete er, dass er die anstrengende Arbeit sogar durch eine Essenspause unterbrochen habe.

Entdeckung

Durch diesen letzten Mord konnte Haigh nur verhältnismäßig wenig Geld erlangen, das allenfalls zur Begleichung einiger Schulden reichte. Er hielt daher weiter Ausschau nach potentiellen Opfern. Zugleich machte er sich jedoch Sorgen darum, dass das Verschwinden Durand-Deacons in einem zu engen Zusammenhang mit seinem Wohnsitz im Onslow Court Hotel stand. Um nicht selbst nach Durand-Deacon gefragt zu werden, erkundigte er sich scheinheilig bei deren Freundin, der Rentnerin Constance Lane, die ebenfalls im Onslow Court Hotel wohnte. Unerwarteterweise bekam er zur Antwort, dass Lane davon ausging, Durand-Deacon sei mit ihm zu seinem Arbeitszimmer gegangen. Haigh dementierte dies. Am nächsten Morgen fragte er erneut bei Lane nach. Sie äußerte, dass Durand-Deacon noch immer verschwunden sei und sie daher beabsichtige, zur Polizei zu gehen, um eine Vermisstenanzeige zu machen. Haigh bot ihr an, sie zu begleiten.

In der Polizeidienststelle bemerkte ein Polizist John Haigh und überprüfte entsprechende Einträge über ihn. Seine strafrechtlichen Einträge machten die Polizisten argwöhnisch und Haigh wurde am 28. Februar 1949 von der Polizei vernommen. Zunächst bestritt er, etwas mit dem Verschwinden Durand-Deacons zu tun zu haben. Die Polizei durchsuchte sein Arbeitszimmer und seine Räumlichkeiten im Hotel. Im Arbeitszimmer entdeckte sie die Überreste Durand-Deacons, die für eine Identifizierung ausreichend waren. Neben mehreren Pfund menschlichen Fettes, die auf dem Hof hinter dem Gebäude verteilt waren, entdeckte die Polizei u. a. teilweise zersetzte Knochen eines menschlichen Fußes. Anhand der gefundenen Knochen konnte festgestellt werden, dass sie von einer weiblichen Person stammten. Zudem fand man u. a. die Kunststoffhandtasche Durand-Deacons, Zahnprothesen und menschliche Gallensteine, die von der Säure nicht zersetzt wurden.

Haigh war unvorsichtig gewesen und hatte in seinem Arbeitszimmer und Hotelzimmer eindeutige Spuren hinterlassen. Unter anderem fand man sein Tagebuch, in dem er kurz auf seine Morde einging. Zudem fand man im Hotelzimmer Beutestücke aus dem Besitz der McSwans.

Gerichtsverfahren und Verurteilung

Als Haigh mit den Entdeckungen der Polizei konfrontiert wurde, gestand er die Tötung Durand-Deacons und die anschließende Auflösung des Leichnams in einem Säurebad ein. Allerdings war er der Auffassung, dass die Polizei ihm einen Mord nicht beweisen könne, wenn es keinen Leichnam gebe. Haigh unterlag offensichtlich einem Irrtum bei der wortwörtlichen Interpretation des Gesetzes.

Er wurde wegen Mordes an Henrietta Durand-Deacon angeklagt und am 18. Juli 1949 vor Gericht gestellt. Den Vorsitz hatte Richter Travers Humphreys, als Staatsanwalt trat Sir Henry Shawcross auf. Als Verteidiger wurde David Maxwell bestellt. Haigh versuchte, sich als geisteskrank darzustellen, um anstatt in ein Gefängnis in ein psychiatrisches Krankenhaus zu kommen, von wo er gegebenenfalls leichter entfliehen konnte. In langen und detaillierten Ausführungen legte er seine Lust nach Blut dar und behauptete, von jedem seiner Opfer ein Glas Blut getrunken zu haben, bevor er deren Leichname in einem Säurebad auflöste. Zudem verhielt er sich wie ein vermeintlich Geisteskranker. Ein psychiatrisches Gutachten bestätigte zwar Geisteskrankheiten bei Haigh, jedoch kam das Gericht zur Überzeugung, dass er sich des Unrechts seiner Taten bewusst und damit zurechnungsfähig im Sinne des Gesetzes war. Haigh wurde wegen Mordes zum Tode verurteilt.

In der Zeit, in der er auf seine Hinrichtung wartete, schrieb er seine Memoiren und behauptete darin, durch die fanatische Religiosität seiner Eltern zu seinen Taten getrieben worden zu sein. Man geht jedoch davon aus, dass Haigh damit noch immer versuchte, als geisteskrank anerkannt zu werden und in ein psychiatrisches Krankenhaus zu kommen.

Am 10. August 1949 wurde John Haigh im Gefängnis von Wandsworth im Süden von London durch den leitenden Henker Albert Pierrepoint gehängt.

Sonstiges

Viele Zeitungen erreichten im Zuge dieses Falls neue Auflagenrekorde. In den vielfach unsachlichen und ausufernden Berichten erhielt Haigh aufgrund seiner Taten und Darstellungen die Spitznamen "Der Vampir von London" und "Säurebadmörder".

Haigh wird oft mit dem französischen Serienmörder Marcel Petiot verglichen. Zudem ist es möglich, dass er von den Taten des Franzosen Georges-Alexandre Sarrejani hörte, einem Anwalt aus Marseille, der 1925 mit ähnlichen Methoden wie Haigh die Leichname seiner Opfer verschwinden ließ.

Data migration is not solely the domain of database-to-database data transition, it can often involve complex content migrations of documents and unstructured data.
But how do these migrations differ to the more conventional relational database style data migrations? What is the right strategy? What techniques are involved? What are the pitfalls?
We recently caught up with one of our members, David Katzoff, Managing Director of Valiance Partners, a specialist data migration technology and service provider operating in this space. Dave has kindly answered a few burning questions on this topic.
Data Migration Pro: What are the phases that you typically adopt in a content migration project? Do you make any special provisions because of the content aspect of the migration?
Identify the legal "original". Interestingly enough, not all companies can identify the legal softcopy!
Verify network throughput for large scale migrations or migrations which distribute content over networks with latency (e.g. across the pond) – When you are moving GB's or TB's of content, this matters.
Determine if metadata in the source is sufficient for target document process.
Review any external integrations that need to be maintained or created.
Work with the users to verify the scope of content to be migrated.
Content management migration requires support for the CM application, for example, SharePoint or Documentum. The obvious issue is that it is not easy to evaluate prospective tools without performing some qualification with your system and common challenges with CM migrations include performance or functional shortcomings of the tool.
Data Migration Pro: How do you typically go about testing whether the content has successfully migrated?
Test all of the metadata and associated application data using the appropriate transformation rules.
Additionally, there are functional tests that should be considered including verifying document overlays and other application behaviour.
Data Migration Pro: What are some of the common misconceptions you witness with content migration?
The tool selection process is often "paper-based" or simply based on a salesman's recommendation and the resulting migration runs into unanticipated challenges. This is most evident by the number of tools we see at the same client. We strongly advocate creating a brief proof of concept before putting any tools into action. As a specialist technology provider in this space we obviously want clients to select our migration tools but taking an agnostic viewpoint it's obviously best-practice to carry out a pilot and benchmark migration tools on your specific technical, business and commercial needs. It never ceases to amaze me how many companies fail to do this and they invariably hit problems downstream.
Scope – As with many migrations, defining the scope of data to be migrated is difficult. It is not unusual to engage with a client that wants to migrate terabytes of content just to find that there are only gigabytes of useful content.
Data quality – Just understanding that data quality is not an issue in the source system misses an important point: data quality needs to be tested against the requirements of the destination system. This is always a significant testing challenge.
Content management applications are complex and the source and destination processes are typically not equivalent. This often leads to unanticipated functional differences and challenging post migration support. Valiance strongly recommends getting users involved often and early to avoid such challenges.
Data mapping can be performed without knowledge of how the content will be used in the new system. Since there are typically significant functional and process differences between the source and destination applications, creating the data mappings between the two systems is not a straight forward field-to-field mapping. In many cases, the users tasked with creating the mapping have not been involved in the details of the new system and may not understand the usage of the data. This disconnect often results in mappings that are incorrect or identification of new or revised system requirements that need to be addressed in the system build. At a minimum, users involved in the migration mapping should have training on the destination system, and it is preferable that these individuals be involved in the destination system requirements definition.
The migration team is not included in the change control process for the new system. There have been several instances where a change impacting a migration is made to the destination system without the knowledge of the migration team. As a result, the migration testing identifies new issues that were not previously detected and require a subsequent run.
Data Migration Pro: Are there any compliance or regulatory controls required for content migrations, e.g. in the pharmaceutical sector?
David Katzoff: The pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries all need objective evidence to verify that a migration was complete "as designed". This is true for any application considered to have compliance risk inclusive of content management. Valiance developed software for automated testing. TRUcompare provides testing of structured data using the required source to destination mappings, as well as the content, to verify that it has been migrated without change and is associated with the right record. We see these testing techniques being adopted in other industries as well.
Data Migration Pro: Finally, how does a content migration differ to a more traditional relational database style migration?
There are often processes such as approvals that may require weeks or months to complete – What do you do with the work in process?
What is your experience of content data migration? What challenges have you faced? Why not add your comments in the section below?

Michael Shou-Yung Shum
The following is from Michael Shou-Yung Shum's novel, Queen of Spades. A novel that revamps the classic Pushkin fable of the same name, it delivers the thrilling highs and lows that come when we cede control of our futures to the roll of the dice and the turn of a card. Michael Shou-Yung Shum spent a dozen years in Chicago, touring the country as a rave DJ, and three years in Corvallis, Oregon, where he received his MFA in Fiction Writing.
Barbara was late to the meeting, and she rushed to it directly from her job at the call center. It was only after she settled down in her metal folding chair next to the two new-comers that she noticed the socks under her slacks were mismatched: one was navy and one black, a difference she'd been unable to distinguish in the dark that morning. She crossed her ankles and moved them underneath the seat, next to her purse, and tried to pay attention to what Dimsberg was saying, but her mind was distracted by the discovery of the socks—and Chimsky's phone call that morning, out of the blue, asking her to meet for a drink. Could anyone be more dense?
As she pondered what she'd ever seen in her ex-husband— it had become Barbara's habit to regard Chimsky as the catalyst of her issues, although a year in the Snoqualmie Chapter of Gambling Help had consistently reinforced in her mind that she was their source—the newcomers sitting beside her suddenly rose, startling her.
"Excuse me," mumbled the woman, aiming to get out of the circle by moving her chair. A man followed—her husband?
Barbara scooted aside several inches, and the couple had broken through and were mere steps from freedom when Dimsberg's voice ascended to arrest their escape.
"My friends!" he said. "Stay among us a while longer. You must've come for a reason—tell us your story." He opened his arms magnanimously. Dimsberg was not a charismatic person, with his long face and teeth like a rat's, but he seemed to have a way of making people do what he wanted, and the couple returned to their seats, although they remained standing.
"What are your names, my friends?"
They said they were Shirley and James Harris. Barbara joined with the rest of the group in welcoming them. "Welcome, Shirley! Welcome, James!" There was, of course, that perverse part of Barbara that wanted to whisper to get the hell out before Dimsberg could get his claws into them.
"We weren't sure, you know, if we belonged," Shirley said hesitatingly. "James and I—we don't gamble every day. Or even every other day."
"Shirley, one of our mantras is an addict is always an addict. Your very presence in this room is telling."
"Still—we aren't sure about this."
"Tell us why you came," Dimsberg said. "Why don't you let us decide?" Other people in the circle encouraged them, and Barbara again found herself in their number. She relished hearing first-timer stories—they satisfied to some degree her desire for action. She admired those in the circle who'd lived through worse than her; conversely, there were some in the circle whom she did not respect for what she felt were minor problems made major. Barbara was curious where this new couple would fall.
It was the woman, Shirley, who spoke. She explained that she and James never went to casinos, and before this past year had never gambled outside of occasional forays into the state lottery, when the amount of the jackpot was too large to resist. They never won anything. Still, they were doing fine. They had enough coming in from their jobs as math teachers to survive, and the children—there were several, Barbara couldn't tell how many—were out of the house. The mortgage was paid each month, et cetera. They were nice, unassuming people. Everyone in the circle was waiting, like Barbara, in anticipation of some more tantalizing morsel.
"Our youngest, Julia, was always the lucky one in the family," Shirley said. She placed her arm around her husband's waist. Sitting so close to them, Barbara could see his neck muscles tense at his wife's touch. "She kept track of the jackpot religiously, and would let us know whenever it hadn't been hit in a while. She was always winning small amounts—a hundred here or there, sometimes even a thousand. We dabbled, but she played every week, twice a week, like clockwork. We'd chide her about it. Just as a joke.
"One day," she continued, "ten months ago this week—we received a phone call from the police. There had been an accident downtown. Julia was walking with her friends. They were celebrating—she'd just found a job. Some maniac drove up on the sidewalk. She—Julia—was pinned underneath the car." She stifled a sob. "They rushed her to the hospital, but it wasn't any use."
Dimsberg told Shirley to take as much time as she needed.
Barbara glared at him.
"I don't even remember what happened the rest of that week," Shirley said. Her voice grew quiet. "There were arrangements made on our behalf." She broke down again.
This time, Dimsberg had the sense to keep his mouth shut.
When she resumed, Shirley's voice was measured. "We thought we wouldn't be able to go on. But you know, life makes you. One day, about two weeks after the accident, we were filling up at our normal place. James went inside to pay, and when he came out he had the strangest look on his face. Like he'd heard something wonderful and awful at the same time. Do you want to tell them about it, honey?" He shook his head. His eyes never left the ground. "Okay, I will, then. But stop me if I get anything wrong.
"Apparently, there was a bit of a commotion in the shop. The jackpot had been hit the previous Tuesday—a dozen people had hit it. One of the twelve winning tickets had been purchased from that gas station! Everyone was talking about it. But no one knew who it was, because no one had claimed the ticket yet.
"Like I said, James had this strange look in his eyes when he got in the car and told me. He said he knew who had bought that ticket—Julia—and at first, I told him he was crazy. I didn't want to believe it. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. That was where Julia always bought her tickets. And why wouldn't someone claim their share of the jackpot? No one forgets to redeem $1.7 million. Unless they couldn't. Unless they were dead. We never wanted to forget about what happened to Julia— that lost ticket became a symbol to us. It was like a gift she'd left us, James said. It was our responsibility to find and redeem it."
The woman paused to take a drink of water from a bottle that Dimsberg handed her. Barbara looked around, and everyone was waiting on her next words with rapt attention. "We started by searching her apartment," Shirley said. "All her old rooms. We became obsessed with finding that ticket. Pretty quickly, things started to get out of hand. We bought an X-ray detector, an infrared camera. We tore the furniture apart. Pried open the floorboards. We looked everywhere a ticket could be. All of Julia's dear clothes—we ripped open their seams and pockets. But we found nothing. We were sitting in the kitchen one morning, drinking coffee, and James was saying we'd looked everywhere.
"Suddenly I remembered Julia lying in her coffin at the wake, in the suit she'd been wearing the day she interviewed for her new job. It was her only suit. Could she have bought the ticket the same day as her interview? Could the ticket still be inside that suit? I said it was at least possible. I looked over at James and he had that strange look in his eyes again. I was afraid to ask, but I already knew what he was thinking. It was the same thing I was thinking. Forgive us, dear Lord, we've both gone a little crazy since Julia left us. James said her spirit was not at rest. Was it possible that we could desecrate our own child's grave to find that ticket? I firmly believed she wanted us to." Shirley looked around the circle. "I know how all this must sound to you—!"
"You're among friends," Dimsberg said. "There's no judgment here."
The husband continued staring down, unmoving. There was only a slight ripple along his jawline as his wife spoke, as if he were grinding his teeth. Shirley held onto him tightly. "That night," she began—she was almost whispering, and Barbara had to strain to hear—"James and I went back to the grave. We had a bag of tools in the back of our pickup. There were two of us shoveling, but it still took hours. Finally, we got down to the coffin. I remember the sound of James's spade scraping against the wood, and it seemed to snap me out of my trance. Suddenly, I felt that we shouldn't be doing this—that what we were doing was wrong, horribly wrong.
"But James said we had gone too far already. I said all right, but you have to do the rest. I turned away and I heard him grunting and prying open the lid of the coffin with the crowbar. I heard the snap as it opened. James was shrieking, and I covered my ears and shut my eyes, and I shouted at him to grab the ticket, grab the ticket! It seemed like hours before I finally heard the noise of the lid slamming closed. When I opened my eyes, James was standing there. He could hardly speak.
"'Did you get it?' I said. I could see in one hand he was still clutching the crowbar—and in the other he was holding a slip of paper. It was the ticket!"
Someone in the circle audibly gasped. Barbara realized she hadn't taken a breath in several moments. She had never heard a story such as this.
"Go on," Dimsberg said.
"We went back to the gas station the next afternoon." The life had drained from Shirley's voice now. "The ticket wasn't the winning jackpot ticket after all. We told him to check again, and he said that he was absolutely certain that it was not the winning ticket. Julia had only gotten two of the numbers right—but it was still worth fifty bucks."
The way the woman said "fifty bucks" made Barbara cringe—like they were all victims of some sick joke.
Shirley closed her eyes for a moment. "James hardly speaks anymore, since that night. But I know we're on the same page. Fifty dollars is far from enough. We play every drawing now, for Julia's sake. We started buying seven tickets a time, because that was the day she was born. Then we bought seventeen every time, because that was both the month and the day she was born. Then thirty-seven every time, factoring in her birth year and age. Still, we haven't won. But we know we will if we can just find the right number to buy. Julia is worth more than fifty goddamned dollars."
Here, the woman fell silent.
"Hey, at least she won," Dimsberg said. "Lucky Julia, you know?"
Quickly, Barbara rose—feeling everyone's eyes turn to her—and left the circle. She nearly ran.
Once outside, Barbara leaned her head against the cool brick of the Community Center, smoking a cigarette. No one else came out. She couldn't believe they could all still sit there, after hearing a story like that. What she needed was to get away from them for a moment. What she needed was a drink, she thought, recalling Chimsky's offer. She ground the butt to ash on top of the trash bin, and stepped across to the pay phone beside it.
"Okay," she said into the receiver when he answered. "One drink. Meet me in half an hour at Rudy's." When she arrived, ChImsky was already waiting at their usual spot in the back, a small booth for two underneath a mounted moose head, a drink in hand. He was dressed in his dealer's garb. He rose to meet her, extending his arms in an awkward attempt at a hug, but she patted his arms away gently. "No, Chimsky," she said. "Sit down." She pulled out her chair, collapsed heavily on it, and sighed. He looked at her with unconcealed delight.
"Hi, Barbara. I was so thrilled when you called." "I see you've started without me."
"I was a little nervous," Chimsky said. "I'm really glad you called, Barbara—but I said that already. How are you doing?" The waiter came by, a young man with wet, spiky hair, and Barbara asked him to fetch her a gin and tonic. After his departure, she sighed again. "To be honest, Chimsky, it's been hard, fitting everything in. I'm working full-time now. And then going to the meetings."
"Are they still making you feel terrible about yourself?" Chimsky said. "I never liked—"
"Please," she broke in. "Don't start. They provide structure in my life. I was out of control for a long time."
"But we had a good time," Chimsky said. "We were good for each other."
"Stop, Chim. You know that's not true." Barbara's drink was placed in front of her on a tiny napkin; she thanked the server, and he nodded and left. "Let me enjoy this, will you?" She sipped it, relishing its smoothness. "Why don't you tell me what's been going on with you?"
Barbara listened to her ex-husband's recap with only half an ear. Rudy's was loud at that hour, and Chimsky was describing a series of events that she did not have the desire to understand completely. She looked him over as he spoke, noticing how he had aged, growing thinner, more lined. He was ten years her senior, but the difference had scarcely been noticeable when they'd been married—now, however, she thought he looked in his sixties, despite being fifty-two. No, fifty-three. Chimsky was fifty-three, because she was forty-three. He was explaining to her a hand of Faro, a game she never played, and an old woman who tipped him $5,000—
"Wait, did you say five grand?" Barbara asked. "Yes."
"How much of that is left? I'm afraid to ask."
"At least twelve hundred," Chimsky said. "Business has been slow at the Royal lately, but we still have good nights. You should come by—"
"I told you I hate that place," she said. The waiter returned, and she ordered noodles—she hadn't eaten all day, she realized. Chimsky ordered another whisky sour. "Do you ever play the keluaran hk lottery?" she asked after a moment.
"The what?"
"The lottery. The state lottery."
"I've bought a ticket or two," Chimsky said. "Why?" "Do you ever win?"
"Of course not," Chimsky said. "You know how much of a scam those tickets are—on average, they return sixty-two cents on the dollar."
"Never mind," Barbara said. "Someone was testifying about it tonight in my meeting, and I guess it's on my mind. I can't tell you about it, of course."
"You've been thinking about playing it?"
"No. But the new people were so odd and sad. She said they play thirty-seven tickets at a time."
"They're wasting their money. They'd be much better off coming into the Royal once a week and betting it all on red." Barbara laughed. They ordered another round of drinks, and then settled into light reminiscing. Her noodles were delicious. She hardly knew what Chimsky was saying while she ate and listened to the music, which seemed softer now that she'd been drinking, but she found his idle chatter not unpleasant to hear again, after things had been so brutally quiet recently.
At midnight that night, before separating outside Rudy's— Chimsky wanted to escort her home, but she said no, firmly— they agreed they should get together again sometime in the vague future. She was too unsteady to drive, so she began to walk in the rain, only about twenty minutes through the silent, wet streets to her apartment. Along the way, she passed a gas station, and she went inside to warm up and get a cup of coffee. In the line at the counter, Barbara broke her usual practice and glanced at the dazzling array of state lottery tickets in the display case. The ingeniously designed Changing of the Card caught her eye. A dealer was depicted with a white-gloved hand poised over a playing card. From the left, the card was the 7 of Diamonds. From the right, it was the Queen of Spades. She hesitated when it came her turn in line. She could break her rules once. No one was watching. She turned to double-check. Then she pulled a five-dollar bill from her purse and bought her coffee, her gum, and one Changing of the Card. She folded the ticket and slid it inside her purse, into the side pocket, and walked home quickly, humming a faint melody underneath her breath.

Five Biennial-Inspired Exhibitions at Denver Galleries and in the Streets!
Laleh Mehran, "Dominant Policy Single Channel HD Digital Video," 2013.
Gildar Gallery takes on the 2015 Biennial of the Americas theme of Now! with an international group exhibition guest-curated by Brett W. Schultz, co-director of Yautepec Gallery and Material Art Fair in Mexico City. "Originally, this was a show about uh-oh," Schultz says in his statement. "But, at the end, it's probably much more about meh. If the present moment – now – perpetually rings of hope, outrage, exhilaration, fear, sweaty anticipation and/or collective hysteria, then this show is the moment that immediately follows, when now fails to meet the future scripted for it. The let-down, the bounce-back. Situation Normal: All Fucked Up." Take a look and come to your own conclusions; the show is only up through the end of the week. Visit Gildar Gallery from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday or by appointment.
Jessica Angel, "Multidimensional Positive," 2015, India Ink on Cut-out Coventry Vellum paper 320 gram.
Rule aligns with the Biennial of the Americas with Nothing Belongs to Us, a five-artist show that addresses the Biennial theme of Now! with a slate of in-the-moment works curated by Hayley Richardson of the Dikeou Collection. See how artists Jessica Angel, Chris Bagley, Caleb Hahne, Michael Theodore and Jenny Vogel juggle the contemporary with unavoidable inspirations from the past. Visit Rule from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, or by appointment.
Amitis Motevalli, "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Rebel," 2005.
Leon Gallery took a different tack in exploring the Biennial theme by focusing on the Persian-American immigrant experience. A conversation with Safa Samiezadé-Yazd — a local artist who's worked on a national level for Aslan Media and Boomgen Studios — first opened Eric Dallimore's eyes to the unique position of her culture-straddling compatriots in America: Iranian-American artists struggle not only with their mixed cultural identity, but also with the question of whether that's a theme they should pursue in their work. Dallimore definitely encouraged the latter, and he and Eric Nord, his co-director at Leon Gallery, teamed up with Samiezadé-Yazd to curate Continental Divide: East of L.A. / West of Tehran, which features work by Denver media artist Laleh Mehran, three-time Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Justin Mashouf, photographer and video artist Arya Ghavamian, and performance/mixed-media artist Amitis Motevalli. "For us right now, the most important thing is elevating the arts in Denver by having this caliber of artists, even though we are just a small, budding gallery," Dallimore told us while fundraising to bring the show to fruition. The gallery is open from noon to 7 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
An extension of RedLine's Play Grounds, showing at the gallery through August 16, Agustina Woodgate's Hopscotch invites the community outdoors to participate in a public playground: a series of giant hopscotch courts instigated by Woodgate, with help from volunteers, in a diverse cross-section of seven Denver neighborhoods, including Globeville, Curtis Park, Civic Center, the 16th Street Mall, Sun Valley, the Platte Valley and Confluence Park. Woodgate is rolling out the individual projects now through July 23; visit RedLine's website for installation dates and exact locations. For more information on how you can work directly with the artist on this project, e-mail RedLine.
Object from the Debris series by Lee Lee.
The member-driven artist workspace Processus will jump into the Now! game a little late, but with no less enthusiasm, with The Life of Things (La Vie des Choses), curated by Denver artist (and Processus co-founder) Viviane Le Courtois. The group show will focus on what's important in a glib world driven by social media, through a collection of found, altered and assembled objects meant to open conversations about contemporary life. Visit Processus from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, or by appointment. The space also hosts a conversational coffee social every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.
