the Maya world and inserted into the Maya ontoology, right?
the legacy from our ancestors.
instance, the land, the landscape, mountains.
but also the natural environment, yeah?
it's all this, all the world.
spiritual values that are not possible to be owned by anyone, yeah?
But what we know is that ownership is a concept developed in medieval times.
specifically during the enclosure movement in England.
also deracination of people from the land.
But we have to see that the land, in itself, is our heritage.
So we are also being deracinated, or detached from our heritage, right?
And this process is being reproduced nowadays in Maya lands.
the Mexican government, promoting to divide communal lands.
and then you have a title, yeah?
But this is very recent for the Maya people.
divided, because there is a conflict, an ontological conflict.
How can you own a sacred place, yeah?
and actually, the government have more influence in this process.
they develop the policies to divide the land.
where you have a institution imposing a notion of ownership to a community.
in small plots, but still, there are some resistance.
And sometimes a line is a division of people, not only a division of lands.
And you have conflicts there in the line, or in both sides of the line.
decide to talk to each other and say, hey, well, this is a division.
This is a new line dividing our communities.
instead of a line of division, a place of encounter, yeah?
just trying to join together again.
So this is one of the examples.
because a line is just a division of people's interest, and so on and so forth.
So most of the time, conflicts are being generated.
because it started when the Spaniards arrived.
They also created divisions on a larger scale.
conflicts were generated by these lines, yeah?
So it is not a recent phenomenon, it has a long history as well.
which is a sacred place, there is a line dividing two communities.
So it's dividing, in two parts, the sacred hill.
but then you see the line.
this is where my grandfather, my grandparents did the ceremonies, yeah?
And I don't care if there's a line here, yeah?
where both communities prepared everything.
they were just saying, hey, just forget about the line.
or just make Goes through the community again.

Sense, Sensibility, and Me
By Elizabeth Tuesday, January 22, 2019 Books: British Drama, Books: Classic, Books: Fiction, Film: British drama, Jane Austen
Y'all, it's time to talk about Sense and Sensibility. I go on plenty about Pride and Prejudice around here – it was my first real introduction to Austen – but I've recently rediscovered just how fantastic Sense and Sensibility is. This was Austen's first published work, it tells a tale of devoted sisters, and I've fallen in love with it all over again after listening to the audiobook narrated by Rosamund Pike, who played Jane Bennet in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie (she's narrated a version of Pride and Prejudice too. Both are exquisite). After revisiting the story in this format, I have some new-ish/hopefully interesting reflections on my experience with Sense and Sensibility, especially when it comes to the two contenders for Marianne Dashwood's heart. Here's my Sense and Sensibility story, and I hope you'll share yours.
Like many of us probably were, I was first introduced to Sense and Sensibility through Ang Lee's 1995 film version that starred Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, and Kate Winslet. I now think that I might have seen it even before I saw Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice, which is the film I've long credited for introducing me to Austen. Either way, when I first saw Sense and Sensibility, I was unaware of the Jane Austen connection and had no idea how famous this story was.
And my sensitive, romantic-hearted little 12 or 13-year-old self was immediately captivated by the romance of the vivacious Marianne Dashwood and the charming… Willoughby. Yes, it was the handsome, roguish Willoughby who first turned my head. As a youngster, I frankly didn't notice or understand Colonel Brandon's generous heart and gentle, strong constancy. He was the older guy, sort of quiet and awkward, and definitely not as handsome (sorry, Alan Rickman groupies). Willoughby, on the other hand, was PERFECT for Marianne! Hello, he carried her home in a rainstorm after she'd sprained her ankle and then quoted her favorite sonnet to her! Swoon.
So, I was a goner. Such a goner, in fact, that even after all of Willoughby's bad deeds were exposed, I was still convinced that he would come back to Marianne at the end with a full apology and explanation ready. I was utterly convinced of it right up until the ending scene in which Marianne walks out of the church on Colonel Brandon's arm. Immediately, my jaw dropped, I uttered some exclamation of disappointed surprise, and I angrily stormed from the room. My emotional involvement in stories has clearly always been a thing.

These Years Later
Fast forward some years, and I'm now firmly in the Colonel Brandon camp. As an adult, I've now willingly joined the ranks of women who sigh contentedly over his steady strength, gentle attentiveness, and quiet protectiveness over Marianne and others in his care. That angry scene I made after my first viewing of the '95 film ended up leading into a valuable object lesson for my 12 or 13-year-old self, but I've come to believe that my early, short-lived infatuation with Willoughby was due to his portrayal in that particular film adaptation.
Who is Willoughby in Ang Lee's film, which is largely carried by Emma Thompson's phenomenal script? I recently read a fantastic blog post about Willoughby which actually argues for more merit in this version of Willoughby than many give him credit for. I don't know if I'd go that far, but I admit that even now, when I watch this Willoughby, played with ever-convincing charm by Greg Wise, I feel a little wistful. He is quite dashing, sweet, and thoughtful towards Marianne. If only he'd been less afraid to be poor. But I think that's the major conflict that much of the plot comes down to for Willoughby in this version. The blog post linked above discusses this in detail – he's portrayed as a bit of a rogue who made some mistakes, but in the end, still could have been a good match for Marianne if only he'd been willing to give up the promise of wealth. While this film is gorgeous and I love many things about it, I think this portrayal of Willoughby varies from the book in important ways.
My conversion to Team Brandon, therefore, came when I read the book and watched the 2008 miniseries that was directed by Andrew Davies and starred Hattie Morahan, Dan Stevens, and Charity Wakefield. This miniseries was particularly important in my experience because it gives a more holistic portrayal of Willoughby's character and Colonel Brandon's thorough distrust of him. Dominic Cooper's Willoughby in this version is perfectly charming and sweet, but he also has a definite edgy quality, and key scenes from the book that were omitted from the movie remain in this version. The unchaperoned visit to Allenham, Willoughby's duel with Colonel Brandon, and his lengthy explanation offered to Elinor during Marianne's illness are all lifted from the book and included in this version, and all of these are pretty vital to understanding Willoughby. Colonel Brandon's young ward is also shown onscreen more than once, which gives cogent visual evidence to the audience of what Willoughby's actions have done. He's a despicable scoundrel in this version without question, and even if he did truly love Marianne, his deceit and lack of remorse towards Brandon's ward give ample evidence that he and Marianne probably would not have been happy in the long run. And I think this is what Austen had in mind when she wrote the book. Willoughby might be the more charming one to the eye on first impression, or even second and third impression, but Colonel Brandon is the truly honorable and good and faithful one. And I think that if I had seen this version first, I would have understood that better, even as a young teen.

And on that note, I admit that I do love David Morissey's Brandon in the miniseries. Maybe even more than Alan Rickman's. Sorry again, groupies. But Morissey's portrayal brings a true military hero vibe from the beginning and I love the fierce protectiveness that undergirds every interaction with Marianne, or any of the Dashwood females, for that matter. More details are given about his tragic past in this version too, and I think Morissey brings the quiet grief needed for that part of the character beautifully.
But whichever actor you may prefer, I think most of us can agree that Colonel Brandon is a masterpiece of an Austen hero. It was after my recent listen to Rosamund Pike's audiobook that I remembered how much I appreciate him. Currently, he and Mr. Knightley of Emma are close in my estimation for the most honorable, gentlemanly, and thoroughly good hero of Austen's creation. That changes fairly regularly, so who knows how I'll feel about it tomorrow, but that's how it stands for now.
What are your thoughts? What's been your experience with Sense and Sensibility? Which film version do you prefer and how do they compare to the book for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this lovely Austen novel and the film adaptations!

I don't know that I've ever read the book. If so, it's been so long ago that I can't remember. I enjoy both adaptations of Austen's story, but the miniseries is my favorite! I like the characterizations better as well as the cinematography.
Elizabeth January 22, 2019 at 4:10 PM
I highly recommend the new audiobook! It had been a while since I'd gone back to the book when I listened to it and it was just lovely. Rosamund Pike's narration is truly brilliant. Her voice for each character and even her inflections during the narration demonstrate a thorough understanding of Austen and the characters, and she makes it all wonderfully accessible for the listener! And I'd have to agree that I favor the miniseries, even if slightly. The cinematography is indeed gorgeous and the character development is more thorough, which I really appreciated.

Jimmy Fallon celebrates his birthday with Paul McCartney
By Dani Martinson
It's not every day you have Sir @paulmccartney sing you Happy Birthday. HBD @jimmyfallon 🎉🎈🎂 #OneOnOne
A post shared by Barclays Center (@barclayscenter) on Sep 19, 2017 at 8:58pm PDT
They say it's his birthday!
Jimmy Fallon rang in his 43rd birthday on Tuesday night at Paul McCartney's concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center — and even got an on-stage serenade from the legendary performer.
McCartney took a break from his usual setlist to ask if anyone in the audience was celebrating a birthday. The spotlight then landed on Fallon and his group — including wife Nancy Juvonen and "Saturday Night Live" honcho Lorne Michaels — in their floor seats.
They say it's your birthday @jimmyfallon @mariobatali have a happy one
A post shared by Paul McCartney (@paulmccartney) on Sep 19, 2017 at 9:24pm PDT
"Wait a minute, who's this guy?" McCartney asked from the stage. "Hey, wait a minute, is that Jimmy, Jimmy Fallon? … Happy birthday, Jim! OK, Jim, this is especially for you and the other people who've got a birthday."
McCartney and his band launched into the Beatles hit "Birthday," before the audience joined in by singing the classic version of the tune. The cameras captured Fallon on the big screens as he freaked out about the performance.
Fallon was also spotted hanging out during the concert with celebrity chef Mario Batali — who was celebrating his own 57th birthday, but got no special shout-out from McCartney during the show. But McCartney later shared an Instagram message for both famous birthday boys and hosted them backstage to continue the celebration with a champagne toast and cake.
Over the weekend, the "Tonight Show" skipped the Emmys and began Fallon's birthday celebrations with his wife at 1770 House in East Hampton.

Waterfront Condo Project Moves Forward with Next Phase of Development
Western Canadian developer Anthem Properties brought some good news to Calgary's labour market Thursday.
The developer of the Waterfront condo project in the Eau Claire neighbourhood said it's moving ahead with the next phase of development that will create more than 250 direct construction jobs.
Four buildings totalling 624 units — all sold — were completed in the project's first phase. The next stage, called Parkside, will eventually consist of six buildings comprising 361 units, of which 85 per cent are sold.
The entire project is expected to be completed by spring 2018.
There is a bit of a softening (in the housing market) but it's really not as bad as one might think given that huge drop in such an important industry (energy) to this province.
Icon Business Park Adds Another Major Tenant
Hungerford Properties has secured a third anchor tenant for its Icon Business Park in the city's southeast, bringing the leasing of office space there to almost 70 per cent.
ABB, a global company in the utilities, oil and gas and mining sectors, is leasing about 71,000 square feet of office and warehouse space. The company is moving from three separate Calgary locations into the one space.
The location was chosen after an extensive market search and Icon offered the best in workplace accessibility, convenience of location as well as flexibility to accommodate future expansion, said ABB Canada.
The 761,000-square-foot Icon Business Park has been under redevelopment by Hungerford for the past two years. Other major tenants include pet supply distributor Rolf C. Hagen Inc and The Data Group. The latest deal brings the property to more than 50 per cent leased for both office and warehouse space.

Whoops! Maybe you were looking for Tina Fey?
After escaping the liberal filter of five universities, Palin ultimately got her journalism degree directly from God himself in 1988. She then married her high school sweetheart who carried her off to live in his family's ancestral igloo. The couple lived happily, quietly making babies (Track, Bristol, Trig, Sofa, Carport and Lobotomy), and watching their babies turn into teenagers and making babies of their own, until Palin was overcome with a yen for helicopter moose huntin'. So they packed up the family and headed for Wasilla, Alaska - civic motto, "Home of Wasillapalooza".
As Governor, she enthusiastically promoted the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere", even going so far as to accept funds for this purpose, but when her political enemies complained, she showed her radical, maverick, renegade ability to cave to pressure, and just accepted the "Road to Nowhere" instead. She also raised/lowered taxes, and caused/cured the enormous budget deficit, by reforming/doing the same thing. In a bid to provide openness and transparency to the taxpayers, Palin issued an executive order that all official state business was to be carried out on Yahoo Mail. Palin's outstanding accomplishments caused John McCain to select her as his running mate, hoping that their combined maverickness would win the support of independent swing voters.
A petition was started to try to convince her to remain in office, but it was unable to gain any signatures, as her supporters can't spell their names and are suspicious of ballpoint pens, which they regard as satanic.
Since quitting her job as governor, Sarah Palin has prayed for and been granted superhuman powers by Republican Jesus. She now fights liberalism as Hockey Mom Woman, armed with powers far beyond those of Ann Coulter: Able to give political speeches for one million dollars each, she uses a magic golden automatic assault rifle to shoot down RINOs. She is the leader of a group of angry voters known as "Mamma Grizzlies"--these are Republican women who are covered all over with body hair, weigh 600 pounds, and smell like bears. Two of her most faithful followers are popular Nevada standup comic Sharon Angal and anti-masturbation crimefighter Christine O'Donald, who is starring in the film Gidget Goes to Washington after her surprise loss to ACORN candidate Lil' Kim in Delaware's Senate race in November 2010.

The Action chapter of Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition opens with a quotation from Dante's Monarchia. Why does Arendt choose this exergue? Why does she open the discussion of the "political activity par excellence" and fulcrum of her reactivation of active life with a reference to an author who asserts the primacy of the speculative over the practical? Through a complex exegetical and critical-hermeneutical work, this article delves into Arendt's reflection and articulates its discourse in three parts: 1. Margins and the Robber Quotation, which talks about the marginal position of Dante in Arendt's work and the enigma of Dante's quotation; 2. Dante as Philosopher of Active Life, where, with the help of Étienne Gilson, Arendt presents Dante as the philosopher who, while reaffirming the primacy of contemplative life over the active one, gave it an unusual dignity in medieval thought; 3. The Joy of Acting, which shows that, by referring to the passage from the Monarchia, Arendt derives some fundamental characteristics of action, namely, the intensification of the agent's being and its revelatory function.

ANNALI D'ITALIANISTICA


In a roller-coaster season for the Maryland Terrapins, there have been three points of consistency on their roster: Anthony Cowan Jr., Kevin Huerter, and Bruno Fernando.
On Monday, the Big Ten awarded them each their first conference recognition.
Sophomore guard, Cowan was named the All-Big Ten Third Team and the All-Defensive Team. The 6-0 guard finished 10th in the Big Ten in scoring with 15.7 points per game. He also was third in assists (5.2) and steals (1.5). He was a nightmare to defend, filling right into the role that Melo Trimble left vacated this year. Both recognitions were from the Big Ten coaches and media.
Huerter was named a Big Ten Honorable Mention by the coaches and media. Stepping into a new role in the 2017-18 season, Huerter struggled but still managed to be highly productive. With the ball in his hands more he shot 42.1 percent from deep and made 72 three-point baskets on the season. Already through two seasons, he is 12th on Maryland's all-time three-point list. He also scored 14.6 points a game.

The Georgia-born celebrity chef, 66, recently admitted during a deposition for a lawsuit that she has, in the past, used racial slurs.
She is being sued for $1.2 million by a former employee who alleges Deen created a hostile work environment at one of her restaurants by expressing racist views.
Word of Deen's admission sparked a media firestorm and she issued a statement this week saying she doesn't condone racism.
She was scheduled to clarify her position further on Friday's edition of "Today," but backed out of appearing on the morning program at the last minute, the show's anchor Matt Lauer said on the air.
"We had planned to have an exclusive live interview with Paula Deen this morning," Lauer said.
"We spoke several times with her people yesterday and then I spoke with Paula yesterday afternoon. We arranged an interview this morning. We agreed there would be no restrictions to that interview only that it would be an open and candid exchange," Lauer said.
"We started to hear from her people that she is exhausted. She has not called us at all. Her publicity person and I spoke a little while ago. Simply said they believe she is in the hotel but she has not confirmed anything other than she is not here."

Tired of cleaning the house, any suggestion for professional cleaners?
Hey, I am exhausted with the amount of cleaning that I have to do on a daily basis. Currently, my health is not good which makes the physical stress even worse for me these days. I would be really glad if anyone of you could suggest me any reliable and professional end of lease cleaners in Melbourne? Please keep in mind that I cannot afford anyone overpriced, therefore, would appreciate any house cleaning service which is economical and also trustworthy. I have never used any professional service before, and so I am absolutely clueless about. Would be grateful for the help.

Q: Replace a word in a text file, then output the overwritten version For this problem I'm asked to first read from the input text file, prompt the user which word/string to get replaced, then output the same file (the original gets overwritten). The thing is the input/outputfile name must always have a specific name for example test.txt (this is what bothers me)
Here's the function which I tested out and it does the job replacing, but for now I'm prompting user to enter their own "sentence" and then for words. I'm lost on how to (always) read from a test.txt and then output the same one with replaced string.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

char *w_replace(const char *s, const char *oldone, const char *newone)
{
char *ret;
int i, count = 0;
int newlen = strlen(newone);
int oldonelen = strlen(oldone);

for (i = 0; s[i] != '\0'; i++)
{
    if (strstr(&s[i], oldone) == &s[i])
    {
        count++;
        i += oldonelen - 1;
    }
}
ret = (char *)malloc(i + count * (newlen - oldonelen));
if (ret == NULL)
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
i = 0;
while (*s)
{
    if (strstr(s, oldone) == s) //compare
    {
        strcpy(&ret[i], newone);
        i += newlen;
        s += oldonelen;
    }
    else
    ret[i++] = *s++;
}
ret[i] = '\0';
return ret;
}

int main(void)
{
char mystr[100], c[10], d[10];
char fileOld[32] = "test.txt";
char fileNew[32] = "test.txt";
char word_search[80];
char word_replace[80];
FILE *fp1, *fp2;

fp1 = fopen(fileOld,"r");
fp2 = fopen(fileNew,"w");

printf("Enter the word to replace :\n");
scanf(" %s",word_search);
printf("Enter the new word:\n");
scanf(" %s",word_replace);
char *newstr = NULL;

newstr = w_replace(fileOld, word_search , word_replace);

fputs(word_replace, fp2);
fclose(fp2);
fclose(fp1);
return 0;
}

So if a test.txt contains the following sentence
This is a test

Result
Enter the word to replace :
This
Enter the new word:
That

The new updated test.txt file will only be
That

instead of
That is a test

A: Needed values (using the var names you gave above):
#include <fcntl.h>

int file_descriptor;
int size_of_text = <whatever you want here>;
char *file_name = "test.txt";//or whatever
char newone[size_of_text];
char oldone[size_of_text];

To read from a file:
file_descriptor = open(file_name,O_RDONLY);//O_RDONLY opens for read only
read(file_descriptor,oldone,sizeof(oldone));//reads file into oldone
close(file_descriptor);//closes so you don't accidentally read or write to it later, and so you can use it again

To write to a file:
file_descriptor = open(file_name,O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC);//O_WRONLY opens for writing only, O_TRUNC will truncate the file if it exists
write(file_descriptor,newone,sizeof(newone);//writes newone to file
close(file_descriptor);

Old LSC (var20) had 42% DD.
I don' t want to irritate @OldSchoolPT anymore so I will complete my vision on drawdown here for my investors and other people interested.
If an investment of 8000 follows my equity and falls down to 6000 it isn't 40% DD up to me.
6000 is 75% of 8000 so the loss is 25%.
My definition is that we have 50% DD when the value of the investment is halvened.
It depends on the point of view you see.
Other point of view could be, that an investor buys at 3.000, after goes up to 8.000, and it falls down to 6.000. He was winning 5.000 over 3.000 166%, and after he won 3.000 over 3.000 100%.
Ok but you cannot divide pofit expressed in percentages.
10/30=0.33 -> 66% DD ??
We have to work with quotes or we have to add 100 as starting point.
This could be if somebody invests at 0%, for example, 1.000 euros. He was winning 300 and he finished with 100.
And that somebody has to go back to study math!
We can subtract only small percentages for a rough and quick calculation.
It isn't a matter of optimism or of brokers misleading "poor" investors.
It is the way that makes sense transforming to euros as you did with the example.
This is a clear exemple that even with a simple attribute like DD is calculated in different ways that leads to differents results. That's tha magic of mathematics; we can use it to prouve smth and its contrary.
The question is how can random people understand more complexe attributes?
I've noticed in my strategies thongs that is hard to conceive.
But to be more funny I can expose that like a math probleme.
I go to casino with 1250 $;at first I lost around 2/3 and after that I begin to win.
I stop playing and when go out from casino I have 1100 in my pocket.
So the question; have I won or lost money and how much?
I appreciate that everybody participate.
I can't follow you, TBH.
I don't see where is the probleme.
All you have to do is to resolve the probleme; it's easy.
Please could you you rephrase so that we can indeed all participate.
There is some recovery so you leave with 1100.
Apparently there is a probleme; it seemed very clear to my.
I'm going with another exemple.
I open a trade account with 1250 $, I lost money at eh begining and after I win.
At the and of the week I have 1100 $ .
Have I won or lost money, calculate it in %.
thanks for the reply. I'm waiting some other answers so I can expose my real probleme.
You would have lost 12%!
Exactly, there can't be a differente number.
So I wont someone to explain me what sort of mathematics darwinex use to find this ?
This is the strategy and not the darwin.
Bot NOT, what's the problem with this poor strat ?
You are positive return, so you win. If the first K was 125$ and now 111$, so it's a really problem as you imagine.
Edit: Do you have add and/or withdraw fund @DAIICHI ?
Nota: Not the subject of this topic: maxDrawdown.
We are speaking about strategy underlying darwin GIF .
A 100% public profile on myfxbook could help to solve the mistery.

Hebrew for What?: Hebrew at the Heart of Jewish Day Schools
By Yossi Prager
The AVI CHAI Foundation is delighted to release a new research report by Dr. Alex Pomson and Dr. Jack Wertheimer on the teaching of Hebrew language in Jewish day schools. As a foundation that has devoted significant energy and tens of millions of dollars toward Hebrew teaching and learning, we see a number of opportunities for future action emerging from the report. We hope that the reflections below will be helpful to others who share a passion for producing a new generation fluent in the texts and language of the Jewish people.
School communities could work together to develop the case (or cases) for schools prioritizing the study of classic and modern Hebrew language. Drs. Pomson and Wertheimer asked students, parents and teachers to rank the importance of 11 reasons for students to learn Hebrew. The responses differed among streams of schools, and, within streams, among students, parents and teachers. In some schools, a significant number of parents support Hebrew because "learning a second language contributes to my child's brain development." While this is supported by current educational research, brain development does not make the case for Hebrew as opposed to Mandarin Chinese or Spanish. Also, many parents – albeit a minority in all schools – dismissed the value of Hebrew language study. Taken together, the data show an urgent need to make a clear, eloquent and multi-faceted case(s) to students, parents and teachers from across disciplines for why day school students need to develop fluency in classical and modern Hebrew.
There is a need to define realistic outcomes in both classic and modern Hebrew. It is clear that different schools prioritize Hebrew for text study/prayer and Hebrew for modern communication differently. Whatever the prioritization, it would be useful for schools to make their decisions against a backdrop that would enable a school's leadership to say, for example, "We want our graduates to be fluent at level three in classical Hebrew and level two in modern Hebrew." In order for school leaders to make this kind of informed decision, there would need to be accessible benchmarks and assessment tools for the different levels of classical and modern Hebrew. At the high school level, schools could even empower students to thoughtfully choose the level of Hebrew they would like to achieve in classical and modern Hebrew. Empowering students could be one response to a key finding from the study, that the high satisfaction level of students, parents and teachers with Hebrew study in the elementary grades dips significantly by high school.
Hebrew language teachers should be trained in second language acquisition. The report finds that most of the Hebrew language teachers, whether from Israel or North America, are trained in pedagogy (good news!). However, few are trained in teaching Hebrew as a second language, which may be one reason that satisfaction levels drop as students move from an integrated Hebrew/Jewish studies class in elementary school to discipline-specific classes in middle school and beyond. Funders can help develop programs that will provide such training and can partner with local day school donors to support participation in these programs. Educational research has consistently found that the quality of teaching in the classroom is the most significant factor in student learning. It may be that different programs are needed: programs for native Hebrew speakers that focus on second-language pedagogy and the culture of North American day schools, and programs for non-native speakers that also raise the teachers' level of fluency.
Schools are most successful when they raise the bar at the whole–school level. The researchers identified six schools that were exceptions to the rule: in these schools, a larger share of older students expressed enthusiasm for their Hebrew language study. These schools do not share a curricular or pedagogic approach, nor do they all employ similar numbers of Israeli shlichim. Rather, what they have in common is strong and visible leadership who ensure and communicate that Hebrew matters and who invest resources in staff development. These schools have a clarity of mission and a culture that supports implementation of the mission. This kind of school culture cannot be developed by sending teachers or leaders to outside programs. However, funders can develop programs that support school leaders (lay and professional) within schools to shape a holistic commitment to Hebrew with the help of consultants and content experts. An AVI CHAI-supported program in Israel, Ma'arag (now operated by KIACH) is an example of such a program (focused on a different subject area – excellence in Jewish, Zionist and civic education).
The new report from Drs. Pomson and Wertheimer encourages us that much is right about Hebrew language education in America. However, the report also provides troubling data that serve as a call to action, coupled with the beginnings of a roadmap for that action. The four ideas we have outlined require differing levels of investment, in time and money. As a spend-down foundation, AVI CHAI cannot set all of these ideas into motion. We would be happy to serve as conveners of the conversation about "Why Hebrew?" and stand ready to assist and potentially partner with other philanthropists who seek to elevate and improve Hebrew teaching and learning at Jewish day schools. If these ideas interest you, please write to us (NLeibowitz@avichaina.org). We look forward to hearing from you!

Victoria's Secret has added four new models to its Angel lineup of 16 women as the brand strives to overcome adversity for the lack of diversity in its brand.
Last week, the lingerie brand made its fourth and final addition to the cast of Victoria's Secret Angels when announcing Grace Elizabeth, 22, as the newest model to join the group.
She joined three other women — Barbara Palvin, Alexina Graham and Leomie Anderson — to be the newest additions to the group of Angels who will work with the brand consistently to model the lingerie and other clothing.
The addition of the four women caused waves in the media as some of the models became 'firsts' for the brand.
Alexina, 29, for example, is the first model with red hair the brand has hired to be a spokesmodel. Jamican-born Leomie, 26, was also added to the group as the sixth black model for Victoria's Secret.
Fans raved about when Barbara, 25, was announced as a Victoria's Secret Angel after she first walked for the brand in 2012. The Hungarian model took a six-year hiatus before appearing again on the runway for the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The decision to add Barbara to the group was announced in March and met with excitement as people praised the her incredible figure.
Ed later apologized for his comments after the uproar it caused among the public.
The brand still stands as a notable achievement for models around the world who strive to earn the coveted Angel position.
These women were also joined with Elsa Hosk, Lais Ribeiro, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio and Taylor Hill — all of whom started in 2015 and remain as spokesmodels this year.
The goal to become a Victoria's Secret Angel quickly quickly grew in popularity as more and more models from around the world pushed for a chance to earn their own set of wings.
Longest-running Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima also was one of the first women chosen for the coveted position when she earned her Angel status in 2000 after first walking the runway in 1999.


How do I balance equations?
I love using Mathematics and Science to explain and understand the world.
The process of balancing chemical equations is done so that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed. What you need to do when balancing equations is to count how much of each element you have on the left side and how much you have on the right side and add a number (coefficient) so that the numbers on both sides are the same. For example in the simple equation for the formation of water you know that the process taking place involves a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen. The first step is to write an equation with chemical elements i.e: H2 +O2 -> H2O You see then that on the left hand side you have 2 atoms of oxygen and on the right hand side you only have 1 atom. To balance this you add a coefficient on the right hand side like this: H2 +O2 -> 2(H2O) *the parentheses are not needed when you write this in proper chemical notation But then you realise that you have 4 atoms of hydrogen on the right hand side and 2 on the left so to fix this you add a coefficient of two on the left hand side in hydrogen: 2(H2) +O2 -> 2(H2O) And this is the final balanced equation.

This Week in the ECAC West: Dec. 3, 2009
By Scott Biggar
In an unusual Saturday/Sunday schedule, Manhattanville lost its first two games of the year, both in non-conference play. The Valiants dropped their first contest to Curry, 3-2, and then saw its weekend completely fall apart Sunday afternoon against Williams, losing 5-1.
"Curry and Williams played great road games," said Manhattanville head coach Keith Levinthal. "They did what you need to do on the road: simple, smart, didn't try to do anything out of the ordinary. They deserve a lot of credit for it."
In both games, Manhattanville got in penalty trouble early, gave up three first period goals, and then tried to dig its way out of the hole the rest of the way.
The NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee released a memo in November emphasizing contact to the head during play. The Valiants, being a tall physical team, found themselves struggling to adjust to the new emphasis as they were repeatedly called physical penalties.
"We struggled adjusting to the memo from the Rules Committee that makes it very difficult to finish checks," said Levinthal. "We are a big strong team that finishes checks. The Rules Committee comes out, three days after the NHL says they have an issue with head injuries, and all of the sudden you finish a check and get thrown in the box. We have to adjust to it. All of the sudden games are officiated differently than they have been officiated before. It is an adjustment that we have to figure out here."
Manhattanville made adjustments during the intermissions, playing strong second and third periods attempting to climb back into the games. But the holes were too deep.
"Both games, the last two periods we really controlled the play and were generating a lot of chances," said Levinthal. "Sometimes when you are playing from behind, you play a bit desperate. We needed to be a little more composed with the puck. Because we were desperate, we were sometimes too quick, rushed it, and as a result just missed our opportunities."
Junior Mickey Lang scored all of the goals for the Valiants during the weekend, a pair against Curry and a solo tally versus Williams, but it wasn't enough to overcome the early game problems.
"We lost those games because we were shorthanded," said Levinthal. "It cost us the weekend. We are either going to adjust or we are going to keep losing."
Bruising Schedule
USCHO correspondent Russell Jaslow accurately described Utica's weekend series against Potsdam as "a hard fought, hard hitting game which required a lot of ice packs afterwards."
From various reports heard since then, that description was not an exaggeration. Both teams spent most of Sunday alternating ice packs and time in the whirlpool.
"It was a spirited game where the first night they took it to us," said Utica head coach Gary Heenan. "The second night, we seemed to be taking it to them and then things got a little more spirited. It didn't escalate to anything out of control but there were a lot of hard hits and a lot of aggression where both team had some injuries from really hard hits. It was a good series with two hard fought battles and the players were feeling it on Sunday."
The town of Utica has been home to several minor league hockey teams over the years. Every team that called the Aud home was renowned for their physical play and the hard working townies became rabid fans. When things got physical between the Pioneers and Bears last weekend, the old time fans harkened back to the days of yore.
"It's nice to see that our fans support us," said Heenan. "When perhaps some liberties were being taken, they were definitely voicing their opinions."
After a bruising split with Potsdam over the weekend, Utica traveled to nearby Hamilton on Monday to continue its tough non-conference schedule. Special teams ruled the game as every goal was scored with a team on a power play. Hamilton scored a pair of power-play goals to take a 2-0 lead midway through. Late in the second period, junior Kregg Guestin sandwiched a pair of tallies on the man advantage for the Pioneers around a shorthanded goal from Hamilton to finish the second period with Utica trailing 3-2.
Sophomore Tim Coffman tied the game 3-3 early in the third with another extra-attacker goal and that is how the game ended.
"It is always a great game and is a hard place to play up there," said Heenan. "We played pretty well. Goaltending for Hamilton was exceptional. We showed some character battling back, sticking to what we were doing. Five-on-five their goaltender was just awesome but fortunately for us our power play did what it should be doing."
Due to injuries suffered both during the Potsdam series and previously in the season, the Utica bench was pretty thin by the end of Hamilton game. The Pioneers coaching staff is trying to piece together a lineup, juggling new players into the special teams and shuffling lines to field a competitive team.
"We are beat up right now," said Heenan. "I was very proud of our guys [Monday] night. We were down to three forward lines and five defensemen. You are going to see some significant changes to the lineup strictly due to injuries."
It doesn't get any easier for Utica this coming weekend.
In fact, after a bruising three games in four days last weekend, the Pioneers face another tough weekend having to repeat the onerous feat. In some ways, this weekend is even more difficult as Utica faces league foes Hobart and Elmira, followed by a contest against co-No. 1 Oswego on Tuesday.
Whose bright idea was it to schedule six difficult games in an 11 day span?
"I stand by the schedule. I did it," admitted Heenan. "It is a brutal schedule right now, but we need to find a way. We want games at home, on weekends, and this year we wanted to play better teams. We have got to get ready for ECAC West play in February, which means we need to play the good teams now."
But coach Heenan has felt the grind of this part of the schedule, watching his players battling on the ice then trying to heal up in time for the next game. While he has already signed up for another home-and-home series next year against always tough Oswego, an off weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday seems very appealing right now.
"As of right now, I've got Thanksgiving weekend off next year," said Heenan. "We are re-thinking it a little bit and could have used a break that weekend."
A disastrous non-conference weekend has heightened the importance of this week's games for Manhattanville. The Valiants play Elmira Friday night in a meeting of the last two teams who are undefeated in league play in the ECAC West.
"Elmira for us is always a big, big game," said Levinthal. "Given our last weekend, it is a critical game. It is a playoff game both Friday and Saturday. There is a super amount of importance on these games."
Elmira and Manhattanville have played some real barn burners the last couple of seasons as they battled for league titles and NCAA bids. While repeated playing between teams can breed a sense of familiarity, things are a little different this time around for Manhattanville as Elmira has a new coach in Aaron Saul. He is sure to throw a few new twists towards the Valiants as Elmira tries to gain the top spot in the league.
"With a new coach there, it is a little different with what they do," said Levinthal. "When Tim Ceglarski was there, we really got to know each other's programs really well. It is kind of a new feeling now and a new person coaching will probably do things a bit differently."

Think the new-wave revival is getting a little too mall-mainstream? The fractured synth weirdness of Austin, Texas quartet Zom Zoms should take care of that notion — while scaring away any legwarmers-come-lately in the process. Notorious for sporting polka dots (lots of polka dots) in photographs, the band also specializes in jittery keyboard hiccups that resemble XTC or Devo's hyperactive experimental eras, with a dash of B-52's abstract wackiness and a faint Texas twang thrown in for good measure. Yellow Rainbow is their latest full-length; listen to its electronic blurts and realize yet again how lame most '80s revivalists really are.

Sea otters sleep holding hands — or holding paws, to be more exact. It ranks up there as one of the most adorable things in nature.
And why do otters do something so over the top with cuteness? That way, they can't drift apart. Sea currents can cause them to drift for miles while they sleep, and if they're going to move, they want to make sure their loved ones move with them.
The natural pull in life is to drift apart. None of us gets married thinking we'll end up half a world apart, yet if we aren't intentional like those sea otters, we will likely wake up one day, look at our spouse, and think, Who are you?
I've attended so many weddings I've lost count. All the couples looked so in love. And yet we've all heard the alarming divorce statistics.
How does a relationship with such promise turn into a disaster?
The couple stops being intentional. Oneness is the goal of marriage, but oneness is not automatic. Let's look at how to stay intentional with our spiritual and emotional intimacy.
Prayer stops the drift between the two of you, and prayer is powerful. For many of us, though, praying out loud ranks with public speaking as one of the scariest things to do.
How can we make prayer less intimidating?
Start by asking your husband if you can pray for something specific with him. Saying, "Can we pray together?" is more intimidating than "Can we take a moment to pray about Johnny's bullying situation at school?"
When you do pray about that specific thing, stick to it. Keep prayers short and simple.
If praying out loud is still too intimidating, what about using prewritten prayers? I've discovered that prayer-book prayers are truly beautiful.
Your spiritual life should be something that keeps you together, like holding paws, not a current that drives you apart. But which one it is will depend upon your attitude. Are you approaching your husband with the expectation that he'll behave in a certain stereotypical way, or are you leaving room for God to do something that may be outside your expectations?
Once couples stop communicating, laughing and sharing, then the only thing that binds them together is the children. And eventually this shared connection is not enough.
Friendship in marriage is the glue that keeps you together. When you're friends, you build up positive goodwill.
Some of us were in the habit of building goodwill when we were dating because we spent a lot of time hanging out with our future spouse. But after the wedding, life became busy and we settled into routines that included much less time with our husband. We still loved our man, but we never really did anything with him. How do you build a friendship with your husband now?
Men, in general, tend to communicate side by side, when they're doing something together. Women like to communicate face to face. But communication happens either way! So instead of saying, "I want to spend 15 minutes talking," why not say, "Can we take a walk after dinner to get a little exercise and fresh air?" The effect is the same — 15 minutes of talking — but it's a different dynamic.
Just being together, even if there's no agenda, can reap major benefits.
When you walked down the aisle, you might have believed this man was going to make you happy for the rest of your life. You've probably realized by now that he doesn't have that power. But if you're intentional — if you start taking responsibility for the things in your control — you'll find that your spouse is a beautiful blessing indeed.

One thing has become very clear at this year's Mobile World Congress: Samsung (005930) is not satisfied with only being the world's top Android vendor. This was made clear by the company's announcement that it would be making a major push into the enterprise world with the launch of its KNOX enterprise security suite. And the scary thing is that Samsung doesn't just see itself as an enterprise smartphone company but as a comprehensive enterprise technology company capable of meeting a wide range of needs for businesses.
Why is this proposition so daunting for a lot of rival tech companies? Because Apple (AAPL), for all its massive success over the past decade, never made a concerted effort to become a business tech company. Sure, Apple was happy to have its products in the enterprise but it was more interested in getting consumers to do their work for them: In other words, Apple thought that being popular with consumers would thrust its products into the workplace and force companies to adjust accordingly.
Samsung's new approach is markedly different. Its Galaxy-branded devices are already popular with consumers and now it's offering companies a sizable set of security services aimed at easing their anxiety with consumers who bring Android devices into the workplace.
BlackBerry (BBRY) will protest, with much merit, that it is vastly more experienced in the security realm and that it offers significantly more enforceable security policies and a more finely grained security product overall. But the downside for BlackBerry is that the merits of its argument might not matter — Samsung at this point is a very well-oiled machine with an enormous budget to spend on both its marketing and its sales force. If the company is determined to take BlackBerry's place as the go-to enterprise mobility company, there is very little BlackBerry can do to stop it.
And BlackBerry is only one prospective snack on Samsung's menu.
The fact that Samsung is naming its own version of Android "Security Enhanced Android" has the unwelcome implication for Google (GOOG) that other versions of Android aren't secure. The company this week also made sure to emphasize its new tablets' prowess for gaming, for education and for retail sales, which hints that the company is planning to make big pushes with business applications into specific industries that are used to using Windows or Apple (AAPL) devices to get their work done.
This explains why Apple is moving as fast as it can to dump Samsung as a supplier and why Google is working with Motorola on its own "X Phone" aimed at cutting Samsung's power in the Android ecosystem: Both companies are too smart to keep feeding the beast that plans to devour them.

Daytime Emmys: What'll Be Left To Nominate? »
The Time I Interviewed Arthur Laurents
"The cords, Mr. Laurents. Be careful of the cords. Mr. Laurents look out!"
My last words to Arthur Laurents.
It was April 2009, I had just finished taping an interview with him. He was leaving the Cabaret room of George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and the feet of this 91 year old legend had gotten tangled in a mass of microphone and light cords.
He appeared not to hear me and he kept trying to step his way out of it.
Teetering, he looked like he was about to hit the floor. There were a lot of cords and we needed to untangle them. But Arthur just wanted to get to dress rehearsal.
"Goddammit, stop walking!" I wanted to yell at him by this point.
If you knew Arthur Laurents, you know that's what he probably would have responded to, and appreciated the humor in it.
When I heard today that he had died, of course it made me think of our interview, but also of his incredible longevity and body of work. He wrote the books for the iconic musicals "West Side Story" and "Gypsy," the screenplay for "The Way We Were" and also for the Hitchcock classic, "Rope."
And he kept writing till the end.
He was debuting a new play, "New Year's Eve," starring Keith Carradine and Marlo Thomas when we met. I also interviewed Thomas that night. She talked to me about his attention to detail, the seriousness of his craft.
Arthur Laurents had a reputation for being caustic and tough on actors. I asked him about it and he shot right back, "I don't know where you got that but you were misled. There is not anything that I have directed where the actors did not love me. For one simple reason: when you give love you get love."
A few weeks later it was reported he had reamed the cast of the "West Side Story" revival on Broadway for too many sick outs and cast replacements soon followed.
He also peppered our interview with sexual references. I remember during edit sessions for "ON THE SCENE" laughing as we watched his comparisons between going to the theatre and having sex, which I made sure were included in the final piece.
"People are so afraid they're going to do something wrong. Have a good time, have sex. Go to the theatre, enjoy the show, don't worry about what anybody says."
Arthur Laurents was colorful, opinionated, talented, and it seems to me did everything he ever wanted to do in life.
I'm honored that I had the chance to interview him…cords and all.

I graduated bachelor of arts in psychology.


Via Nikon Rumors comes this potential photo of the forthcoming Nikon D4. Is it Photoshop or Memorex?
The ISO range is listed again as 100 to 102,400, expandable to 50 to 204,800.
CF + XQD memory card slots! That's right, the Nikon D4 will have the new Compact Flash XQD memory card slot.
As mentioned in last Friday's post, I'm testing the Profoto D1 Air 500 Studio Kit, along with the optional Profoto Air Remote shown above.
As a quick initial test I mounted the remote on a Nikon D300s and took one of the two D1 Monolights (with umbrella & stand) out on the deck as the sun was going down.
Using only one light I didn't have to set the channel on the remote, simply test fired the strobe from the camera to determine the level of power I wanted. Since the strobe packs 500 watts, I didn't want much in order to blend the flash with the ambient light.
I like the highlights in the hair and the eye-light, although the portrait could have been improved with some bounce fill off to the right. Unless you want a more dramatic image like this. The quality of the monolight was just about right.
Very impressed with the kit working right out of the box—hassle-free wireless control.
Bet you're wondering how I know this.
Well. it's all thanks to a web site called My Shutter Count.
Upload a photo directly from your camera and the site calculates the total clicks.
Considering the shutter life expectancy of the D90 is roughly 400,000 clicks, my camera is practically a newborn.
Thanks to Nikon Rumors for this tip.
$35 for a Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8 G DX sounds sweet.
And you can rest your head on it, too. More here.
The title is a red herring but I couldn't resist when I found this photo in the archives. It's the My Menu screen for the Nikon D90. This selection lets one change the order of the items in the camera's customized list. As you can see I placed Battery info at the top as it's something I check frequently—especially when shooting movies. This feature is also available on the Nikon D300s.
The video capability on the D300s is an improvement on the D90 which—need I remind readers—was the world's first DSLR to include video capture. I've yet to try the Nikon D7000.
Ostensibly a plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, you can access it from within Photoshop, too. I find this enormously helpful since I often shoot stills in advance of a video project and can experiment with various looks. I can tweak the effects and when I've got what I'm looking for, save the "look" and, later, apply it directly to clips in Premiere Pro.
Here's an example. While scouting locations I took this still in a nearby park. This was to be the locale for the title sequence.
The photo was too crisp and realist as I was looking for a more ethereal feeling. Using Magic Bullet's "Black Diffusion" effect I had exactly the look I was after.
I was also considering making the sequence black and white with the contrast kicked up a notch..
Magic Bullet provides a great collection of tools for either post or preproduction.
In the end I decided to stick with color. Below is a frame from the movie.

What If Canon & Nikon Merged?
I spied this dragonfly yesterday morning while having my first cuppa joe. I quickly grabbed my cam with a Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S mounted. Now every lens has a sweet spot and it pays to discover the magic number. This lens excels at f/8. (1/200 sec at f/8.0; 200mm; ISO: 200) That;'s why I tend to shoot in Aperture Priority mode. With plenty of light I can pretty much ignore the shutter speed.
The moral here is never cut corners when it comes to the glass.

Sexually selected traits sometimes come with a cost. One risk is that oversized structures intended to attract the ladies may hinder mobility. But in male flower beetles (Dicronocephalus wallichii), the size of their sexually selected horns and forelegs appear to have no bearing on how fast they can scurry across bamboo branches propped at different angles in the lab.

Q: How to divide seekbar into 2 different parts and with 2 different default steps in Android? I'm creating a custom seek-bar with 2 thumbs, and seek-bar range is 0-10000000, My question is that I want to divide that seek-bar into 2 equal parts and first part range is 0-1000000 with default steps 10000 and second part range is 1000001-10000000 with default steps 100000.

A: There is a library over the GitHub using which you can solve your problem.Here is the link to library here
Add a dependency to your build.gradle:
dependencies {
    compile 'com.crystal:crystalrangeseekbar:1.1.3'
}

Answering your questions:-

*

*It is a double thumb range seek bar.

*You can set minimum and maximum range of the seek bar using attributes
app:min_value="0" //minimum value
app:max_value="150" // maximum value

*You can set step size using following attribute
app:steps="5"// add required step size here

Your XML code for seek bar will look like this:-
<com.crystal.crystalrangeseekbar.widgets.BubbleThumbSeekbar
    android:id="@+id/rangeSeekbar3"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:corner_radius="10"
    app:min_value="0"
    app:max_value="100"
    app:steps="5"
    app:bar_color="#F7BB88"
    app:bar_highlight_color="#E07416"
    app:left_thumb_image="@drawable/thumb"
    app:left_thumb_image_pressed="@drawable/thumb_pressed"
    app:data_type="_integer"/>

In java class you can impement setOnSeekbarChangeListener() like this:-
final CrystalSeekbar seekbar = new CrystalSeekbar(getActivity());

// get min and max text view
final TextView tvMin = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textMin5);
final TextView tvMax = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textMax5);

// set listener
seekbar.setOnSeekbarChangeListener(new OnSeekbarChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void valueChanged(Number minValue) {
        tvMin.setText(String.valueOf(minValue));
    }
});

Hope this might help!! Thanks.
