I really don't understand why this movie has so many negative reviews. This is a good movie, if you have the patience and are willing to watch it. The movie is very well made, and the acting is great. I am surprised it has such a low rating. I also think this movie is similar to the movie "The Thin Red Line". I would recommend this movie to anyone. I am a big fan of the film "The Sixth Sense" and the director of this movie is also the director of the movie "The Sixth Sense".
This is a very different film from what I expected. The story line is simple, but it has a very powerful message. The characters are well developed, and the ending is both tragic and uplifting. The film is very different from what I expected, and that is a good thing. It has a lot of action, and a very good amount of drama. There are also a lot of twists and turns, and the film keeps you guessing until the end. The acting is great, the script is good, and the cinematography is beautiful. I highly recommend this film to everyone. It is a very different film to what I expected, but it is a very good film. If you like films that are different, you will enjoy this film. It is a very good film, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
Bruce Fisher
When I saw this film, I thought it was really good. I really liked the acting and the story. It was really interesting. It was a good movie. It is very different from the usual film. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a different movie. I think it is a great film.
I saw this movie in a theater, and I am very glad I did. This movie is amazing. It is very well written and acted. It is very well paced and very well directed. The movie is about a group of friends who are all teenagers, and all of them are looking for a place to party, and they all want to go to a party in a place they have never been before. This movie is very well written and well acted. It is very well directed, and the story is very well developed. I was very impressed with this movie, and I would recommend this movie to anyone who is looking for a good story, and good acting. I highly recommend this movie.
I like all the movies that I have seen in my life and I think that this is the best one. It has a good story, the acting is good, the cinematography is very good. The thing that I like the most is the music, it's very very good. I am not saying that this movie is perfect but it is good. It's a very good movie, I recommend it to everyone, even if you don't like the movie you should watch it because it's really good.
Bruce Carter
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good story with a lot of action. It is not a movie to watch if you have not seen it already. This movie is a must see!
Frank Chavez
A really good thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I think it's one of the best films of the year, and I can't wait to see it again.
Joe Morris
I have seen this movie several times, and every time it gets better. It is a real gem, but so many movies are just trying to be something that they are not, but this movie is so unique, and so original, that it deserves a 10/10. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The story is so original, the characters so unique, and the plot is so clever, that it is hard to explain. If you want to see a good movie, go watch this one, it is truly unique. The movie is so great, it deserves a 10/10.
This film is a must see for all people who have a sense of humour. If you are not a fan of action movies then this is not the film for you. However if you like to see the old school films and a good story then this film is for you. I have seen this film many times and every time I find something new to enjoy. The actors in this film are brilliant and I think that everyone should watch this film. I think that everyone should see this film.
I have to say this movie is the best movie of the year. It is so intense that you will never get bored. And that's what i love about this movie. The scenes are so intense that you'll never get bored. The story is just amazing, the acting is perfect, the music is just perfect. You won't regret watching this movie. And the ending will make you cry. I just can't express how amazing this movie is. I highly recommend it. And i can't wait to see the next one. I hope you like this review and that you will watch this movie.
Eugene Hunter
I have been waiting for a film like this to come out for some time and I am glad to say that I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed this film, and I don't think I will be disappointed for a long time. This film has everything you would expect from a film like this, great acting, an interesting plot, great cinematography, and a story that is great. I was impressed with how well this film was made. I think this is one of the best films that I have seen in a long time. I really hope that more films like this come out in the future because they really do deserve it. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who likes thrillers and films with great acting. This film has everything that you could possibly want to see. If you don't see this film, then you are missing out on one of the best thrillers of all time.
Jerry Adams
The movie is great. I love it. I'm not going to tell you the plot. You have to see it for yourself. I'll just say that it's a very good movie. It's not a movie that everyone will enjoy. But if you like movies that are very cerebral, with a lot of action, and you like movies that are different than the usual Hollywood fare, then you should see this one. It is one of the few movies that I haven't given a 10/10, but I would say it's a 10/10. If you liked "Sicario", "The Hurt Locker", "The Bourne Ultimatum", "The Departed", "Machete", "The Hurt Locker 2", "The Raid 2", "The Raid 3", "The Raid 4", "The Raid 5", "The Raid 6", "The Raid 7", "The Raid 8", "The Raid 9", "The Raid 10", "The Raid 11", "The Raid 12", "The Raid 13", "The Raid 14", "The Raid 15", "The Raid 16", "The Raid 17", "The Raid 18", "The Raid 19", "The Raid 20", "The Raid 21", "The Raid 22", "The Raid 23", "The Raid 24", "The Raid 25", "The Raid 26", "The Raid 27", "The Raid 28", "The Raid 29", "The Raid 30", "The Raid 31", "The Raid 32", "The Raid 33", "The Raid 34", "The Raid 35", "The Raid 36", "The Raid 37", "The Raid 38", "The Raid 39", "The Raid 40", "The Raid 41", "The Raid 42", "The Raid 43", "The Raid 44", "The Raid 45", "The Raid 46", "The Raid 47", "The Raid 48", "The Raid 49", "The Raid 50", "The Raid 51", "The Raid 52", "The Raid 53", "The Raid 54", "The Raid 55", "The Raid 56", "The Raid 57", "The Raid 58", "The Raid 59", "The Raid 60", "The Raid 61", "The Raid 62", "The Raid 63", "The Raid 64", "The Raid 65", "The Raid 66", "The Raid 67", "The Raid 68", "The Raid 69", "The Raid 70", "The Raid 71", "The Raid 72", "The Raid 73", "The Raid 74", "The Raid 75", "The Raid 76", "The Raid 77", "The Raid 78", "The Raid 79", "The Raid 80", "The Raid 81", "The Raid 82", "The Raid 83", "The Raid 84", "The Raid 85", "The Raid 86", "The Raid 87", "The Raid 88", "The Raid 89", "The Raid 90", "The Raid 91", "The Raid 92", "The Raid 93", "The Raid 94", "The Raid 95", "The Raid 96", "The Raid 97", "The Raid 98", "The Raid 99", "The Raid 100", "The Raid 101", "The Raid 102", "The Raid 103", "The Raid 104", "The Raid 105", "The Raid 106", "The Raid 107", "The Raid 108", "The Raid 109", "The Raid 110", "The Raid 111", "The Raid 112", "The Raid 113", "The Raid 114", "The Raid 115", "The Raid 116", "The Raid 117", "The Raid 118", "The Raid 119", "The Raid 120", "The Raid 121", "The Raid 122", "The Raid 123", "The Raid 124", "The Raid 125", "The Raid 126", "The Raid 127", "The Raid 128",

I love this movie and I'm not a fan of Angie Harmon. I have seen it several times and I am always blown away. It's very well written and very well acted. I think the acting is very good for the time the movie was made. I love this movie and I recommend it to everyone.


Q: Will you give us an update on the move to the Big West Conference and NCAA Division I?
A: UC San Diego officially announced on November 27, 2018, that it will begin a journey to join the Big West Conference in 2020 and become a participant in NCAA Division I athletics.
Elevation to NCAA Division I athletics is a reflection of UC San Diego's culture of risk-taking, collaboration, and innovation. Aligning with peer institutions and competing at the highest levels in all endeavors is one of the reasons for the transition to Division I. We are extremely excited to be joining the Big West Conference with its strong history of success in a broad base of sports.
Division I athletics will also provide many opportunities to positively impact the culture of the UC San Diego campus, allowing us to continue our proud tradition of academic and athletic excellence at the highest level. The move to Division I supports increased engagement with our 185,000-plus alumni, strengthening their connection to the University. In addition, the transition will foster stronger relationships with the San Diego community and help elevate recognition of our University's outstanding education and research on local, regional, and national scales.
2018-2020: UC San Diego remains Division II while implementing infrastructure needed for success at Division I. Two sports — men's volleyball and women's water polo — begin Big West participation before Fall 2020. Men's volleyball is currently participating in the Big West Conference and women's water polo will be a full member of the conference in 2019.
Fall 2020: The Tritons begin a full Big West Conference competitive schedule.
2020-2024: UC San Diego's mandated four-year reclassification period, during which it cannot compete in postseason play with the exception of National Collegiate sports (men's volleyball, men's and women's water polo, and men's and women's fencing). The reason for the exception is that these teams are already eligible to compete in their championships.
Fall 2024: UC San Diego will be a full member of the Big West and eligible to compete for all conference and NCAA championships.

Origine e diffusione

Generalmente, viene riportato che tale nome fu inventato da J. M. Barrie per la sua opera del 1904 Peter e Wendy, dove era portato dal personaggio di Wendy Darling. Nel suo caso Barrie lo trasse da un soprannome datogli dalla sua amica d'infanzia Margaret Henley (la figlia di William Henley che morì a cinque anni, nel 1894): Margaret lo chiamò "my friendly" ("il mio amichevole)" ma, non essendo in grado di pronunciare bene la R, le uscì "fwendy".

Anche se fu certamente l'opera di Barrie a dare ampia diffusione al nome, esso era utilizzato occasionalmente già prima; è rilevato negli Stati Uniti sin dagli inizi del XIX secolo dove Wendy Gram, una bimba dell'Ohio, venne registrata con questo nome nel 1828, ed il nome Wendy appare nel censimento U.S. Census del 1880. Nel Regno Unito, Wendy appare come nome di ragazzo nel censimento del 1881: in questi casi è probabilmente riconducibile al nome di origine gaelica Guendalina, o ad altri contenenti l'elemento gwen, "bianco", "puro". Per quanto riguarda la sua diffusione, nelle liste dei più usati nomi per i neonati del Social Security Administration statunitense, Wendy appare nel 1936, e dal 1965 al 1976 entra nella lista dei quaranta nomi femminili più popolari.

In late August 1945, Royal Australian Navy warships waited around the Pacific near Japanese surrender points in Borneo, Hong Kong, Timor, New Guinea and Nauru. On 19 August 1945, Supreme Commander General Douglas MacArthur had ordered that there were to be no landings or surrender documents signed in the field until after the main Japanese surrender ceremony on board USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945. This enforced delay meant that the newly liberated Prisoners of War (POWs) had to remain in their camps, some for up to a month after 15 August, the day that hostilities officially ceased.
Able Seaman Bob Skinner who was serving on HMAS Napier was more fortunate. He was able to get on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay for the ceremony. Skinner had landed in Japan 15 days after the country's surrender, with the British Landing Party sent to occupy the Yokusuka Dockyard. Assigned to Australian photo-journalist Jim Fitzpatrick, his task was to provide the journalist with protection and assistance. On the morning of 2 September, Fitzpatrick went on board the Missouri to record the official Japanese surrender to the Allies. This was the last great act of World War II, and the world's press clambered for places on the battleship's quarterdeck and forward gun turrets to view the proceedings. Fitzpatrick managed to get an extra pass in his own name for Skinner, and the able seaman staggered up the gangplank with a 'swag of cameras', managing to sneak past security in the crush to get aboard.
At 0800 the American Marine band on the quarter-deck played the National Anthem and the Stars and Stripes, as the colours were hoisted to the mast-head, and straight after a prayer was given over the loud-speaker system, giving thanks for this great day and for the deliverance of the Allies. To see all those thousands of men from generals down to ordinary seamen, standing bare-headed while this prayer was being broadcast, is something one could never forget and it just seemed to be a really fitting start for such a great and historical day as this one was destined to be.
… someone found out I was the only Australian naval rating on board to witness this ceremony … and I was in great demand with the photographers of all nations. That day I got into British, American, Australian, Russian, Chinese and French newsreels.
After Tokyo Bay came the other surrenders. Japanese field commanders surrendered at Kuching, Balikpapan, Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu), and Sandakan in Borneo; in Hong Kong, in Timor, at Wewak, Rabaul and Bougainville in New Guinea and on the tiny island of Nauru. Finally the POWs could be repatriated.

100 Squadron operations continued during September 1945. On 3 September 1945, four crewmembers from Beaufort bomber A9-622 were killed when their aircraft crashed at Matapau while carrying out a leaflet-dropping mission. The four men were buried at Matapau on 7 September 1945.
The Far East Liaison Office (FELO) printed English and Japanese language leaflets to inform the Japanese troops on Ambon of the surrender terms and the procedures for the liberation of the Allied POWs. The leaflets were dropped over the Ambon area where a large number of Australian prisoners had been captured by the Japanese.
On 6 September 1945, Japanese General Imamura and Vice Admiral Kusaka embarked on the aircraft carrier HMS Glory, riding in St George's Channel between New Britain and New Ireland. Later that day a ceremony was held on the flight deck of the carrier and the two Japanese officers signed a surrender document surrendering approximately 139,000 Japanese to Lieutenant General Vernon Sturdee, General Officer Commanding 1st Australian Army.

Editorial: This is easy — new buildings should be designed for a fossil fuel-free future
The International Code Council missed an opportunity to back model building codes that would require new buildings to be designed to support charging stations for electric vehicles and sufficient outlets for all-electric appliances.
(Don Leach / Times Community News)
By The Times Editorial Board
Oct. 19, 2020 3 AM PT
On the heels of yet another summer of near-record heat, one thing is clear: If humankind is to make meaningful progress in the fight to limit global warming, we must fundamentally alter how we create and consume energy.
Unfortunately, much of our global energy infrastructure was built under the presumption that we could continue to burn fossil fuels — natural gas to heat our homes and fire our stoves, gasoline to propel our motor vehicles and coal to create the electricity without which this newspaper could not have been published. So shifting to renewable energy also means shifting some of the systems we rely on to deliver that power.
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has called for an ambitious $2-trillion, four-year investment in climate-related projects, including upgrading 4 million buildings to significantly reduce energy use and emissions, weatherizing 2 million homes to reduce energy consumption and helping the appliance industry and consumers replace gas-powered appliances.
Editorial: Whether or not Amy Coney Barrett gets on the Supreme Court, abortion rights should stand
Regardless of whether conservative judge Amy Coney Barrett gets confirmed to the Supreme Court, she and her like-minded conservative colleagues should not look for a way to retry Roe vs. Wade.
That's an expensive undertaking, to be sure, but a vital one, which the Biden campaign estimates would create a million new jobs in the electric vehicle sector alone (and which President Trump, who has rolled back fuel-economy regulations and sought to increase production of fossil fuels, has mocked). But there's also an easy step we could take right now: adopting building standards that support a shift to renewable energy sources. If we need to change our power infrastructure, it doesn't make much sense to keep building out the systems that we will need to replace. We ought to be designing home garages and other new construction to be ready for the power storage and vehicle charging systems to come.
Let's take a short walk through some weedy terrain. The International Code Council is a U.S.-based association of government building safety experts and others intimately involved in determining basic standards for safe construction, which then are adopted by local governments. The building codes in your city, for instance, are probably based on the standards this group sets.
Late last year, the membership voted to significantly update its standards, recommending a number of additional requirements for new construction projects. These included requiring that new homes be wired to support automobile chargers and have power outlets placed near appliance setups so homeowners can switch from gas to electric models in the future, and that commercial construction projects be built with the capacity for vehicle charging stations. These are fundamental steps to curtail emissions from buildings, which account for nearly 40% of the greenhouse gases the U.S. sends into the atmosphere. In more than two dozen states — including California — local governments already require new construction to include capacity for adding charging stations.
But builders and other construction industry groups challenged some of those decisions. The arguments are technical and in some cases center on the voting process and whether some of the standards fall outside the council's scope, but the key drivers were concerns about cost and convenience. Adding the recommended capabilities would push up the base cost of construction, and consumers tend to like using gas for cooking, heating and some other household tasks.
Editorial: Don't be part of the 'twindemic.' Get a flu shot
This is a bad year to put off getting protected from the annual flu.
Yet the proposed standards wouldn't have barred anyone from buying or using gas-fired appliances (though we need, as a society, to shift away from them). Instead, they would have required builders to make sure that new construction is designed to handle both types rather than locking those buildings in to the energy source that we must leave behind. It will be more expensive in future years to retrofit these new buildings than it is to ready them now.
Unfortunately, the International Code Council sided with industry this month and dropped the new standards governing electrification readiness, along with two other forward-looking measures governing continuously burning pilot lights and energy-use standards for water heaters.
Making buildings more energy-efficient saves consumers money in the long run. And designing new buildings to be ready for renewable power sources, while fractionally more expensive upfront, costs much less than it will cost to go back in a few years and retrofit the buildings.
The daily smog of the presidential campaign can make it easy to lose sight of the dangers of not taking significant steps to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. But it is of dire global importance that we press ahead with increasing intensity and resolve. Even if there's no mandate in the codes, making sure that buildings we design and build now will be part of the solution rather than add to the problem is the smart thing to do.

Seddon Park pitch rated one of test cricket's best
Although it may be the sport's off-season in New Zealand, the pitch at Hamilton's Seddon Park has been rated as the most consistent in the last 25 years of Test cricket by a statistics columnist with the influential cricket website espncricinfo.com.
Seddon Park Turf Manager Karl Johnson says complex mathematics form the basis for analysis by Ananthan Narayanan on the website, and one aspect is clear – the Seddon Park pitch is very consistent throughout a five-day Test, making for an even contest between bat and ball.
Mr Narayanan's recent column assesses the quality of Test cricket pitches based on several factors, to determine what he terms the Pitch Quality Index (PQI).
A low PQI score (for example, in the early 40s) indicates a bowler-friendly pitch, while a high score PQI (for example, the late 60s) indicates a pitch where batsmen find it easier to score runs.
Hamilton's Seddon Park provided the most consistent Test match pitch – based on the PQI measure – of the last 25 years, with a PQI score of 48. His analysis covered more than 2530 Test matches since 1877.
The detailed number-crunching also revealed 72% of Test matches at Seddon Park played during the last 25 years ended with a victory. Since 2010, nine of the 10 Test matches played at Seddon Park have concluded with a result – six of those wins for New Zealand.
"Espncricinfo.com employs some of the cricket world's leading writers and analysts and is the 'go-to' site for the game's global fanbase," Mr Johnson says.
"For us to be recognised for our playing surface shows the work we do is delivering a world-class pitch for the game's best players.
"And for fans of the traditional five-day game, that means games often go the full distance and result in good competitive cricket with bowlers and batsmen given equal opportunity to excel."
NZC Head of Turf Management Ian Mckendry was delighted with the recognition.
"I think it accurately reflects the standard of New Zealand's grounds and ground staff over the past couple of decades," he says.
"As an organisation we've made a priority of producing the best possible surfaces and outfields for domestic and international cricket, and it's great to see those efforts recognised in this research. Seddon Park is usually a very fair pitch for both teams and offers an excellent balance between bat and ball."
Supporter armies set to storm Seddon Park
Two travelling armies of passionate cricket fans are set to invade Hamilton next summer.
Floodlights replacement set to commence at Seddon Park
Work to replace sports floodlighting at Seddon Park begins on 8 April.
Council confirms Seddon Park floodlights replacement
Work to replace the floodlights at Hamilton's Seddon Park will commence next year following a decision by Hamilton City Council.

MIGRANT JUSTICE PLATFORM
THE BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION BLUEPRINT
THE BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION
The Blue Ribbon Commission is a group of 20 individuals, representing a broad array of communities and organizations across the United States, who bring experience and expertise in a diverse range of immigration areas, with the collective goal of providing a blueprint to change course on immigration.
For two decades, the immigration reform debate has been determined by a "comprehensive reform bill" strategy, focused on one branch of government and ignoring many communities and issues. The Blue Ribbon Commission seeks to part ways from that single bill strategy, which must be corrected, and instead lay a foundation for concrete actions to build on.
The Blue Ribbon Commission was tasked with developing a Policy Blueprint of executive and legislative action on immigration, from grassroots voices, for the next administration. Their objective was to identify specific actions that the next administration can immediately take to begin to repair the harm caused by Donald Trump.
With the Migrant Justice Platform, the Blue Ribbon Commission are charting a path forward that can concretely improve the lives of immigrants and refugees in the United States today and in the future.

An Icon of Democracy Complicit In Genocide? The Dangers of a Deceptive Democracy in Myanmar
On September 18, 2017 September 20, 2017 By chgsumnIn NewsLeave a comment
What makes someone an effective leader? Arguably, one vital component is being a capable and willing protector of one's people. Aung San Suu Kyi, the State Counselor of Myanmar and also a Nobel Laureate, is currently failing in this role. She continually chooses to "protect" only the Buddhist majority of Myanmar by supporting the government of Myanmar's stance that the Rohingya, long time inhabitants of the Rakhine region of Myanmar, are not citizens. Their lack of legal citizenship has been used as justification by the state to perpetrate atrocities against the Rohingya, who are denied civil rights. These atrocities escalated this August when Rohingya militants attacked Burmese security forces. In retaliation, the Burmese military launched a violent crackdown against the Rohingya, killing hundreds of people, and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee into Bangladesh. There is little doubt left that Myanmar has begun a state sanctioned ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, using the violence perpetrated by a few Rohingya militants to justify the mass slaughter of an ethnic population.

Making Mute Art Speak for the Victims. Reflections on the UMN Course "Holocaust Art: History and Commemoration"
On September 11, 2017 By chgsumnIn Featured Scholar, NewsLeave a comment
My official title during my Spring 2017 teaching appointment at the Global Studies program – Visiting Professor – was in some ways misleading. The University of MN campus was not in any form new to me. I trod its paths as a graduate student back in the seventies, and later as a faculty member in the Classical and Near Eastern Department in the nineties. I was glad to be invited to revisit a familiar turf, not as a momentary visitor, but as a staff member. Embraced by Chair of CHGS, Professor Alejandro Baer, and ever-accommodating Program Coordinator, Jennifer Hammer, I plunged into the University's old and new teaching routines with a little side splash. Challenges were encountered on unexpected fronts such as the likes of decoding the mechanics of discourse between computers whose compatibility was unnatural – a "Hebrew Speaking" PC and the campus' Apple lingo. Or the ever-astonishing fact of a May 1st snow storm. Even as a veteran of a dozen winters I was caught by surprise. Perhaps the twenty warm years since I left the campus, and the Israeli scorching sun must have affected my brain's memory cells. I was also surprised by the sign over the entrance door to Classroom 1-111 on the first floor of Hanson Hall, which read: The Dairy Queen Class. Quite ironic, I thought to myself, for a course on the history of the Holocaust. Evidently no prank, just one coincidence of what life is made of.

"We Still Have a Long Journey": Hope Battles Criticism in the Rwandan Presidential Election
On August 7, 2017 August 7, 2017 By chgsumnIn NewsLeave a comment
Twenty-three years have passed since the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and the decades since have shaped Rwanda into a nearly unrecognizable country. The genocide seems, at first glance, to be a distant and painful memory. The capital of Kigali has transformed into a vibrant urban hub, complete with five star hotels and immaculate streets. Educational initiatives and a skyrocketing tourism industry are reshaping the nation. For many, especially those living outside of Rwanda, the genocide seems to be a historical event, locked firmly in the past. But while decades have passed since the 100 days during which at least 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed, the past doesn't seem so far away to many Rwandans. The personal tolls, be they loss of family members or lasting emotional scars, still remain.

Dear Simone Veil,
Your passing on June 30, 2017 barely made a ripple in the American news media; and yet even far away, there is so much we can celebrate and learn from you. Your many gifts and accomplishments do not inspire envy or a competitive spirit. You are one of the most beloved public figures in France. You never made me say in the usual resigned manner: of course, she is just a politician.

Inheriting a Parent's Story of Surviving the Holocaust
On June 5, 2017 By chgsumnIn NewsLeave a comment
What follows is a statement given by CHGS Outreach Coordinator, Demetrios Vital at the 2017 Twin Cities Jewish Community Yom HaShoah Commemoration, coordinated by the Jewish Community Relations Council, and hosted at Beth El Synagogue in St. Louis Park.
Demetrios spoke as a son of a survivor on the process of transferring memory across generations. Following his statements, he read the text of his father's testimony as published in the 25th anniversary edition of Witnesses to the Holocaust, a book containing the testimony of Minnesota Holocaust survivors and liberators produced by the JCRC. That text is included below.
I am deeply honored to be here with you all tonight. Thank you for having me and my father here.
I am the youngest son of Victor Vital. I am one of three children along with Rachel Vital Davis and Joseph Vital, and stand generationally between Victor and three grandchildren.
Victor Vital survived the Holocaust.
I'm one of many here who are children of survivors, or have family who survived, or who didn't, and indeed even if we're not directly related to those who experienced the Holocaust, we might all find access to stories and truly feel the impact of this history.

"Scaffold": Atrocity-Art and Its Limits
On May 31, 2017 June 1, 2017 By chgsumnIn From the Director, NewsLeave a comment
In March 2006, performance artist Santiago Serra constructed a homemade gas chamber inside a former synagogue in the Cologne area and invited Germans to be symbolically gassed. Exhaust pipes from six cars were hooked to the building, which was then filled with deadly carbon monoxide and visitors entered the space wearing protective masks. What was the artist's intention? Serra said his aim was to give people a sense of the Holocaust. The Jewish community was furious. It was considered a provocation at the expense of Holocaust victims, an insult to survivors and the whole community. "What's artistic about attaching poisonous car exhaust into a former synagogue?" said writer and Holocaust survivor Ralph Giordano (1923-2014), "and who gave permission for this?"

Recovering Memories: Holocaust Survivors in Latin America
USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research has decided to endorse the initiative of a group of seven scholars from different Latin American countries to study Holocaust Survivors in Latin America as part of its Interdisciplinary Research Week. Not an alien in the context of terrorscapes and transitional justice, Latin America has been a space of contested narratives regarding mass violence.
In countries like Colombia, realities of forced displacement, illegal prosecution, and war narratives have been ongoing historically, which has been widely documented and studied. However, there is still much to be discovered, especially as these narratives coexist with narratives of survival from the Holocaust. In this regard, Latin America has been related to the Holocaust mostly as an important space for refuge after WWII.

Flags, France, and Freedom Fries – the changing flavor of American patriotism
One of the many key moments that led me to love the United States and its people happened in 1986. I was at a gathering of international students in Palo Alto, most of them with a European background just like me. The mood was very much anti-American, not the least because Reagan had just tried to kill Gaddafi by bombing Tripoli. He had missed the target but managed to create a lot of angst that WW III was about to break out. Everybody in the room was lamenting the ignorance of the Americans and political naïveté of their leaders in the harshest terms. I felt bad for the only American student in the group who got an ear full of unabashed Eurocentrism. After all, he was representing the host country and we didn't really behave like guests, or, for that matter, like visitors from countries that had benefited from US protection as long as anybody in the room could remember. After everybody had unloaded, he just said, "You are probably right, the US is a big country, a lot of Americans don't travel and don't really know what's going on outside the country, and sometimes we mess up." He was the only one in the room who talked calmly, without drama and with a healthy shot of self-confidence. Back then, most Americans I talked to shared my fellow student's relaxed and self-reflective form of patriotism. Possibly, because the lessons of the Vietnam War were still on everybody's mind and the Cold War had not been won yet.

Sandhill cranes are a bit more interesting to observe for the long haul compared to the snow geese. Sure, the snow geese are fun to listen to, constantly chattering back and forth, rising and falling sometimes in volume. But the action is limited to the short bursts when they take off and go somewhere else. Cranes, particularly in the mornings, are a hoot. While many are still trying to get as much out of their night's sleep as possible, others are strutting around, chatting at each other, sometimes hopping and dancing, all along the way to the take off zone.

From a mythical origin story, to common kitchen spice, cinnamon has a long strange history.
To start, cinnamon is a spice (which means it's not leaves, which is what herbs are). It comes from the bark of trees in the Cinnamomum family. It's been used for thousands of years but where it grew was intentionally shrouded in mystery for much of that time. During the spice trade cinnamon was harvested in southern Asia, brought to the Middle East along the Maritime Silk Road, and then resold by spice merchants around the Mediterranean and onward. To maintain control over the Western market, the Asian origins of cinnamon were kept secret by its Arabian merchants.
This cinnamon subterfuge begins with an incredible origin story. Westerners were told that there was a species of Arabian bird called the Cinnamologus (ie. "cinnamon birds") which made their nests with pieces of cinnamon that they collected from an unknown land. These nests were either high on cliff faces or at the tops of very tall trees depending on who was telling the story. The key was that the nests were inaccessible. So the cinnamon was harvested by either leaving heavy pieces of meat out for the birds, who would carry the meat back to their nests but the weight would topple the nest to the ground, or the nests were shot with projectiles which would do about the same thing.
Medieval manuscript depictions of the harvesting of cinnamon
This exotic & daring method of harvesting cinnamon only made it more desirable, much more so than if people found out you just had to peel the bark off of a tree and let it dry. Not everyone believed these stories, but either way the market supply was cornered by Arabian merchants and so cinnamon remained an expensive spice & Western status symbol for hundreds of years.
Two kinds of cinnamon
Today southern Asia still produces most of the world's cinnamon. There are several kinds but the two you will find the most are Cassia Cinnamon (aka Chinese Cinnamon) and Ceylon Cinnamon (aka "True" Cinnamon). Cassia Cinnamon originates in China but is now grown all around southeast Asia. It has a bold flavor and is the version of cinnamon most commonly found in the United States. Ceylon Cinnamon comes almost exclusively from Sri Lanka (Ceylon being the old name for Sri Lanka). It has a subtler taste but in the culinary world it is considered the superior cinnamon (hence, "True" Cinnamon). One other difference is that Cassia Cinnamon contains higher concentrations of the chemical compound coumarin, which in large amounts can cause liver and kidney damage.
In general, other than just tasting nice, cinnamon has a variety of potential health benefits and it's proven to be antimicrobial. Cinnamon can kill E. coli along with other harmful bacteria and as such was used for thousands of years to preserve meat (including during the embalming process of Egyptian mummies, which is just preserving meat of a different kind).

Muhammad Hassaneyn Haykal () è stato uno dei più noti giornalisti egiziani, oltre che apprezzato scrittore. Per 17 anni (1957-1974) è stato direttore del famoso quotidiano del Cairo al-Ahram ("Le piramidi") e, in quanto autorevole commentatore delle questioni vicino-orientali, è stato ascoltato consigliere del presidente della Repubblica egiziana, Gamāl ʿAbd al-Nāsir (Nasser).

Biografia

Carriera e pubblicazioni
Haykal è stato componente del Comitato Centrale dell'Unione Socialista Araba, il partito unico filo-nasseriano che ha retto, con diverse etichette, la storia politica ed economica fin dall'epoca della rivoluzione dei "Liberi Ufficiali".

Nel 1983, Haykal ha pubblicato diversi libri: Sphinx and Commissar, Cutting the Lion's Tale: Suez Through Egyptian Eyes, The Road to Ramadan e l'esplosivo Kharīf al-ghadab (Autunno di rabbia), in cui egli analizzava le ragioni retrostanti l'assassinio del presidente Sādāt e l'affacciarsi prepotente sulla scena del cosiddetto "Islam politico".

Ha scritto vari altri libri, tra cui: Nasser: The Cairo Documents, The Sphinx and the Commissar: The Rise and Fall of Soviet Influence in the Middle East, The Cairo Documents: The Inside Story of Nasser and His Relationship with World Leaders, Rebels, and Statesmen, Secret Channels: The Inside Story of Arab-Israeli Peace Negotiations, Illusions of Triumph, Iran: The Untold Story, The Return of the Ayatollah, The Iranian Revolution from Mossadeq to Khomeini e October War.

Vecchio guerriero
Nel settembre del 2003, appena compiuto gli 80 anni, Haykal scrisse un articolo, in una rivista mensile (Wijhat Nathar, su cui aveva scritto per qualche tempo), in cui affermava che era giunto il momento per un "vecchio guerriero" come lui di abbandonare la penna e di farsi da parte. Haykal specificò che la sua decisione non significava che egli sarebbe scomparso, quanto piuttosto che il suo mettersi da parte era necessario per osservare meglio ciò che accadeva. Nell'articolo narrava anche numerosi episodi della sua vita professionale e che avevano contribuito a formare la sua esperienza, inclusa la sua prima missione come reporter nella battaglia di El Alamein nel 1942, la sua amicizia con Nasser e i suoi rapporti con Sādāt. Inoltre egli rese noti i suoi redditi, pubblicando tutto ciò che aveva incassato per i suoi lavori e gli incarichi che gli erano stati assegnati.

Conferenze
Tiene una serie di conferenze sull'emittente televisiva Al-Jazeera, che gode di vasta audience nel mondo arabo e a livello internazionale. Ogni giovedì sera, Haykal affronta un tema diverso, mettendo a disposizione le sue vaste conoscenze ed esperienze: dalla storia egiziana, alla storia interaraba, da quella internazionale a temi più squisitamente storici, quali i motivi della decadenza ottomana e del sorgere del moderno nazionalismo arabo. Ha anche affrontato il tema del recente sorgere del cosiddetto "Impero statunitense" e il declino delle antiche superpotenze e ha approfondito la questione del deterioramento dei rapporti tra Nasser e i Fratelli Musulmani, del loro tentativo di uccidere il raʾīs e la conseguente impiccagione di Sayyid Qutb. Non ha mancato infine di criticare il presidente Mubārak per la sua ennesima elezione presidenziale e ha suggerito che i mandati presidenziali in Egitto non dovrebbero eccedere il termine dei 10 anni.

Il 26 luglio (giorno dell'indipendenza egiziana) del 2007, Haykal ha parlato dell'Alta Diga di Aswān: forse la più incisiva realizzazione civile egiziana durante il periodo nasseriano, e la sua intenzione di sospendere le sue conferenze televisive. Haykal ha detto al suo pubblico che aveva bisogno di una pausa "per alcuni mesi", alludendo a questioni di stanchezza e di salute, augurandosi - "se Dio vuole" ( in shā' Allāh ) - di poter riprendere a parlare sul tema delle guerre arabe

Il successo della trasmissione di Haykal è dimostrato dalle oltre 50.000 email e lettere che settimanalmente ha ricevuto.

NVCA needs to raise about $5,500 for amenities for the parking lot, like signage, striping, a radio controlled gate and more over the next few months and this will be a good start in achieving that goal.
Can't make the party but would like to help. Donations can be made at our website at www.nestucca.org. Or perhaps you would like to contribute your time. We are in need of volunteers with various skills. Come join our team and let's make this park a reality.
Come join us at Cape Kiwanda on Saturday May 17th for the Reach the Beach event. NVCA is sponsoring a booth along with the Chamber. We will be handing out information about NVCA and the community park and skate facility. We need some help. It is only a two hour shift and you will have a front row seat to watch the bycyclists finish their route. Choice of hours are 12:30 -2:30; 2:30-4:30 and 4:30-6:30.
If you have a couple of hours you can spare and would like to meet and talk with folks and provide information about NVCA and the park, please let us know at nvcainfo@gmail.com or go to the volunteer page and send us your info.
The energy level will be high and the day will be exciting – come join us.

THE SKINNY: You have to love a product with a fun tagline and packaging, but Look Better Naked The Righteous Butter was not really anything special.
It worked OK. It moisturized OK. It smelled OK. But in all honesty, it was just an average product.
It is an award-winning product, so you might still want to give it a try, but don't get your hopes too high.
CHECK IT OUT: Other online reviewers liked this a lot more.


It's a common scenario- a couple gets married, each having children from a prior relationship. They each set up their Wills to provide for the surviving spouse and then for all their children, collectively, when they are both gone. The understanding is that when one dies, the survivor will not modify or revoke the survivor's Will in a way that diminishes the inheritance of the children of the spouse who dies first.
But is that understanding legally enforceable with nothing more? The answer under New Jersey law is clearly, "no." Under New Jersey law, a so-called "contract to make a Will," or not to revoke a Will, can be established only by (1) the provisions of the Will itself, or (2) an express reference in a Will to the contract and evidence proving the terms of that contract, or (3) a separate writing signed by the Decedent that evidences the contract.
But wait a minute. Isn't that unfair if the spouse who died first had executed a Will in reliance on the surviving spouse's promise that his or her Will would not change, and the surviving spouse does, in fact, change that Will? Yes, it's unfair, but unfortunately that doesn't matter. In fact, the applicable statute expressly states that the execution of so-called "joint" or "mutual" wills does not create a presumption of a contract not to revoke the Will or Wills.
Even if a contract to make a Will is in writing and enforceable, it may not be a panacea. For example, a surviving spouse may be able to effectively side-step the contract by making lifetime gifts to only his or her children, or dispose of assets at death via transfer-on-death or pay-on-death designation. A better approach might be to use a trust.
Under this approach, each spouse would leave all the spouse's assets to a trust. The surviving spouse would be the beneficiary of the trust during his or her lifetime, normally receiving all the income generated by the trust assets and as much of the underlying principal as is necessary, considering the survivor's own resources, to maintain the spouse's accustomed manner of living. The surviving spouse and one or more of the deceased spouse's children would typically be trustees. The trust would provide that when the surviving spouse dies, the assets remaining in the trust pass to the children of the spouse who died first.
As is the case with many effective estate-planning strategies, implementing the appropriate documents is not the end of the story. Assets must be titled to ensure that they are actually distributed under the Will, and therefore into the trust, rather than outright to the surviving spouse via joint ownership or beneficiary designation. Even then, a trust may prove less than ideal if it means forcing children to wait until the death of the surviving spouse to receive their inheritance. In those cases, it can be helpful to identify specific assets that can be distributed directly to children, such as life insurance proceeds or IRAs, while ensuring that the surviving spouse can be maintained in his or her accustomed manner of living.
Beneficiaries in these situations need to understand that promises of an inheritance, no matter what the circumstances, generally are not enforceable. Therefore, they should encourage loved ones to educate themselves and do the proper planning to ensure that their wishes are carried out.

Edel believes in transparency and accountability for all public officials.
As a Trustee, she will be committed to:
* Making decisions based on budget priorities that always put students first
* Maintaining high standards of excellence and ethics
* Ensuring access to programs and services for all students including the abled and disabled

Here are Edel's solutions for the Board of Trustees regarding 8 issues of concern.
STUDENTS FIRST
The Board gains respect and cooperation when it advocates for decision making to be an inclusive collaborative process based on budget priorities that truly put students first.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Board must exercise transparency when making budgetary decisions to demonstrate financial accountability and gain the public trust.
The Board must establish strict guidelines and standards to measure the effectiveness of organizational accomplishments, including the evaluation of the Board itself and of the Administration.
PARTNERSHIPS AND ADVOCACY
The Board must continue to promote partnerships with industry, other educational institutions, civic organizations and local and state government for the benefit of our students and our community.
SOUND JUDGMENT
The Board must use common sense and sound judgment on legal matters to avoid costly and unnecessary lawsuits.
The Board must rely on data driven decisions to balance support for the development of new programs while ensuring attention to existing programs that need maintenance and improvement.
The Board must exercise its responsibility to ensure that the District comply with the American Disabilities Act and make all instructional and non-instructional programs and facilities accessible to both able and disabled students.
Board of Trustees meetings must be televised for the sake of accountability and transparency. Residents of the District who are the taxpayers have a right to view the work of its elected public officials.

Transparency and accessibility for students and the community
My name is Ronda Baldwin-Kennedy, I have two daughters that attend College of the Canyons, I am a mother of 3 ½ triplets. I currently run my own law practice in Valencia. I am currently corporate council for several corporations. I have experience in corporate law, including contact negotiations. I know what it means to be a public servant, I was a City of Milwaukee building inspector for 6 years. There I protected the community from special interest groups, who wanted to use our department to drive property owners out in order to acquire their land for developers. I refused to play ball then and I will refuse to play ball on the board if it means going against the interest of the community. As an attorney I know what i means to put the interest of your client above your own, I will do the same for the community interest. I believe in terms limits.

I am not beholden to anyone other than the community for which I would humbly serve. When it is time to fight for what is right I will not back down.

Francesco Pedraglio's solo exhibition Scripting Anticlockwise opens on Saturday 6 May 2017 from 8-12pm at P/////AKT in Amsterdam. The exhibition is part of P/////AKT's annual program, Thinging, as well as the exchange progect with Progetto Diogene (Turin, IT), DRAWN ONWARD.
It's not night yet, but it's definitely not day anymore. The whole scene might be permeated with a faint yet detectable scent of wet paint. Outside: a light rain starts falling.
The voice-over stop speaking and silence fills the room. Someone is singing in the distance.
Francesco Pedraglio is interested in storytelling as a tool to decode intimate encounters with both mundane and historically complex situations. He looks at how the process of narrating and staging – oneself, or a situation – influences the relationship between teller and listener, making visible the fantasies and fictions that constitute our reality.
The starting point of Pedraglio's practice – being performance, sculpture, installation, prints, films – is writing. A curious detail, an overheard rumour, a banal incident, anything could spark some telling. And it's in the movement from the written text to the live action, from the live action to a staged installation or a film that the exploration of language, fiction and reality-making occurs.

LISTEN: Ari Fleischer on Biden Accusation "The press is protecting him and that is too often how it works"
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer accused the mainstream news media of "protecting" 2020 candidate Joe Biden in a new interview on SiriusXM's Breitbart News Sunday.
Per Breitbart, host Joel Pollak asked about a "double standard of the media" while contrasting news media's broad disinterest in accusations of sexual assault made by Tara Reade against Joe Biden with those made by Christine Blasey Ford against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. "Are the Democrats hiding Joe Biden from the press?"
Fleischer replied, "The press is not trying to get Joe Biden, so it is easy for the Democrats. The Democrats don't have to hide him. The press isn't challenging him. How did it take so long for a reporter — Mika Brzezinski — to ask him a question? How many interviews did he do with CNN anchors with MSNBC anchors — none of them asked a question about Tara Reade? So no, the Democrats aren't hiding him. The press is protecting him and that is too often how it works."
Left-wing and partisan Democrat news media outlets often operate on a pretense of political neutrality and nonpartisanship, observed Fleischer. He said, "This is where the modern media is so broken, I'm afraid to say. The era of neutral reporting is over, and the only thing left that shouldn't make anybody sad, because it's the way it is, is that the press pretends they're still neutral. If you ask the CNN anchors, and if you ask most journalists, they'll say, 'Oh no, we're neutral. We want to journalism school. We're trained neutral.' No, they're not, and it's the culmination of this decades-long liberal trend."
Fleischer recalled, "Twice I've gone to Columbia Journalism School and spoken with journalism students, once was in the 1990s and once was actually about two months ago. Both times, I asked this group of about 12 future journalists, 'Who did you vote for in the last election?' Both times I did it — in 1998, shortly after the Clinton-Dole election and then [the second time] about the Hillary Clinton-Donald Trump election — not a single one of the 24 voted for either Bob Dole in 1998 or Donald Trump in 2016. Every single one in that room voted straight Democrat, and they don't think it's a problem."
Fleischer added, "They don't think it means an indication of bias because they're trained. No, it's a mindset, it's a worldview, it's an approach, and that's why [what] happened with Kavanaugh [was] an instant feeding frenzy because it violates their sense of morality as people who are sympathetic to a cause, i.e. the Democrats' cause. When it happens with Biden? No, they look the other way. They sweep it under the rug. They don't even ask, and that's how bias works."

Camber is co-owned with Evan and Renee Kent of Renegade Canaan Dogs in Rhode Island. "Cambie" spends her vacation time in RI and her work time here in CT, and on the road with us. She is here to settle in and prepare for the next round of adventures: a trip to compete at the Canaan Dog National Specialty Show in Greenville SC and possibly giving us another litter.
Tentative plans are to breed Camber to Asyndeton's Wicked Impulse aka "Pulse" owned by Kelly Sims. Like Camber's last litter, this breeding is planned to produce outstanding temperaments. Both Camber and Pulse are healthy outgoing Canaan Dogs and we expect more of the same from these two.

On 31st May 1911 the Titanic was launched from Belfast. It was estimated that around 100,000 (or a third of the city) turned out to view the event. The Titanic was, at the time, the largest moving object and the largest ship ever built and considered practically unsinkable.
From the spring of 1910, thousands worked on the Titanic and its sister ship the Olympic in huge gantries which dominated the Belfast skyline.
The Titanic led the way in technological innovation, luxurious accommodation and exceptional catering. The ship's first class quarters provided room for 905 passengers in 416 cabins, staterooms and private suites of the highest standards, even the third class had running water. First and second class passengers had access to electric-powered lifts (elevators), and could enjoy the ship's swimming pool, gymnasium, squash racquet court and Turkish baths. The grand staircase, an intricately carved work of art rose majestically through six decks, and was crowned by a magnificent glass dome.
