April 26, 2017 famenycmageditor Leave a comment
Once upon a time in there was an island, surrounded by the Hudson and Harlem Rivers. It was a place where the underworld, "Regular Joes" and elite flowed past each other creating a unique aura that produced the energy for a city that never slept. Those seeking fame and fortune came to the island to stake their claim and be seen. Manhattan was a melting pot brimming to the top with a million and one stories that now haunt the streets like ghosts over resurrected apartment complexes and 21st-century skyscrapers.
One such story about that emerged out of this glorious period was the story of David Hampton. A handsome grifter from Buffalo N.Y., Hampton used his good looks, manners and ability to manipulate others to intersect with the upper-crust of New York City society and glitterati. By pretending to be the son of Sidney Poitier, Hampton dined for free at the best restaurants, received A-list treatment at New York City hot spots and flimflammed his way into the homes of the Upper East Side.
Playwright John Guare became aware of Hampton's infamous con when married friends of his became one of Hampton's many marks. Their intersection became the foundation for his play Six Degrees of Separation. Six Degrees of Separation made its Broadway debut in 1990 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and a Tony. It was adapted into a movie in a film in 1993. Now it's back on Broadway for a limited 15-week engagement.
On the surface, Six Degrees of Separation explores the theory that everyone is connected by six other people. The play primarily takes place at the apartment of Flan and Louisa "Ouisa" Kittredge, which overlooks Central Park. Flan is an art dealer and one evening when he and his wife are entertaining (and ass-kissing) a super-rich friend, Paul, a young, charming black man, appears on their doorstep wounded and bleeding. He claims he had been robbed and stabbed. He claims he knew their children. He says he is the son of Sidney Poitier.
Paul cooks them dinner and beguiles them, especially Ouisa who had been seeking a deeper connection with her own children. Paul tells the Kittredge's that he is expected to check into a hotel with his famous father in the morning. Flan and Ouisa insist that Paul spends the night with them. In the morning, Ouisa goes to wake Paul and finds him mid-coitus with a hustler he picked up after they had gone to bed. After that encounter, Ouisa and Flan's lives continue to intersect with Paul. Finally, after one scam too many, the police get involved. Sensing the police are closing in, Paul makes a final, desperate call to Ouisa to beg her to accompany him when he turns himself in. She agrees to take him, but the police pounce before she can get there. Ouisa is left to ponder the future of Paul, the experience as a whole and her future after this experience.
If one is only looking at the surface, it would appear that Six Degrees of Separation looks at how lives collide into each other and impact those collisions make, but the play takes us deep into the rabbit hole providing critiques on myriad topics. Six Degrees of Separation tackles issues of race, class and homosexuality. The beauty of Guare's storytelling is the method in which these topics are brought to the forefront. The dialogue is luscious, full of wry wit and flows with a hustle and bustle of New Yorkers beating their feet to the pavement during rush hour. Guare doesn't bop you over the head or smack you in the face with social commentary, instead, he guides you to a mirror, and when you are laughing at some snarky line, you suddenly realized you are looking at yourself and how you have perceived others. New Yorkers are so quick to believe the hype of the liberalism simply because there are no monuments erected to Confederate generals in the middle of Times Square; however, when faced with our own Guess Who's Coming to Dinner scenario, we suddenly realize we aren't as free-thinking as we thought we were. Through Flan, Ouisa and Paul, the audience is able to confront their own prejudices, fears and desires to belong.
The selection of the cast is a stroke of genius. Allison Janney is hysterical as Ouisa; her comedic timing is impeccable. When Ouisa is most introspective, Janney breathes tenderness into these moments. Her performance reveals just how much Paul has changed the trajectory of Ouisa's life. John Benjamin Hickey provides a multi-faceted performance of Flan. He is pretentious, yet sensitive. He has the soul of a tortured artist, but reeks of capitalist greed. He is a hypocrite, yet still totally likable. The crown jewel in this cast is Corey Hawkins, who plays Paul. From the moment he rushes onto the stage in a state of panic, he captivates the audience. Without knowing, Hawkins wraps you around his finger and compels you to believe even the most fantastic lie. Every face Hawkins presents as Paul is equally as believable as the next. When he says to Ouisa," I like being looked at," I thought to myself who would want to look away? Hawkins goes deeper than just bringing the character of Paul to life for a new generation of theatergoers. He honors the soul of the man whose infamous life was the catalyst for this splendid play. He is a writer's dream, a master actor in the making.
Six Degrees of Separation is a masterpiece. The only problem with this production is the fact that it'll only be at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre until July 16. This play is too brilliant to run the risk of not being seen by every New Yorker and those who come to visit this metropolis. The themes of this play are as relevant now as they were in 1990 because they are intrinsic components in the state of the human condition. More importantly, this play is a time capsule of an era in New York City that will never come around again. Only in Manhattan could a con artist pretend to be the child of an icon and hobnob with the crème de la crème of New York society. Six Degrees of Separation is vivid, sexy and seedy; just like Paul. It's one Broadway experience that shouldn't be missed.

LaFerrari Aperta available for sale at auction
January 20, 2021 - by Svilen - Leave a Comment
Auctioneer RM Sotheby put up for sale one of the Ferrari supercars LaFerrari Aperta. The car has gone only 2,400 km, and the auction organizers hope to receive 8.5 million USD for it. For information, a new Aperta cost 2.2 million USD.
The Ferrari supercar was commissioned in 2016 for an American collector and delivered to his home in Beverly Hills. The machine has all the options available for the model, including carbon exterior elements and a removable carbon roof.
The car is powered by a 963 hp hybrid power unit. It includes a 6.3-litre V12 engine, an electric motor, a robotic gearbox with two clutches and a battery pack. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 3 seconds and the maximum speed is 350 km/h.
Ferrari produced 500 LaFerrari cars and 210 units of the open version. Not everyone, however, could buy Aperta, as it was only available to customers who also have the LaFerrari.
In 2016, one of the cars was sold at auction for 7 million USD. A year later, another auction was sold and another Aperta, which was paid 9.9 million USD.

Statute of limitations regulations set the maximal time period someone has to be able to initiate legal proceedings starting from the calendar day of a claimed offense. These kinds of laws and regulations are brought about by state legislative bodies and additionally the United States government.
Wrongful termination incidents typically have 3 categories of claims, with each one having separate statute of limitations. Being conscious of these time limitations is significant, because a lawsuit might be denied if initiated afterwards.
The Nebraska statutes (laws) of limitations are Nebraska Revised Statutes § 25-201 et seq.
Nebraska state legislation sets the statute of limitations on submitting tort (personal injury) claims, for instance defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In the state of Nebraska, the statute of limitations on contractual cases is set by the local government. The deadlines for oral contracts and written contracts may diverge.
National law sets the statute of limitations on work discrimination lawsuits, for instance pregnancy, age discrimination or sexual orientation discrimination.

Petra Costa's mother told her she could live anywhere except New York, and become anything but an actor. Those prohibitions were her mother's attempt to shield her younger daughter from following in the footsteps of Petra's older sister, who committed suicide in 1990 while studying theatre in New York.
Despite her mother's bans, Costa was drawn to Manhattan and theatre. But, unlike her sister, Elena, Costa thrived in New York City and, ultimately, turned hazy memories of her sister—dead at 20 from an intentional combination of aspirin (to which she was allergic) and alcohol—into a film about her quest to understand her sister and herself.
Costa scrutinized old family movies, read her sister's scribbled diaries, and interviewed friends and family. The result is Elena, an 82-minute film combining documentary and fiction, which plumbs the sisters' influence on each other and picks at the scar of memory, loss, and pain. She describes Elena in the film as "my inconsolable memory made of shadow and stone." In its final images, still women garbed in pale diaphanous dresses float, Ophelia-like, on their backs in water.
Elena premiered at the 45th Festival de Brasilia do Cinema Brasileiro last September and scooped up four prizes in the documentary category: best director, best art-direction, best film-editing, and audience award for best film. (It's also won awards in Croatia, Poland, France, and Mexico.) About 50,000 Brazilians have seen it, making it the country's most-viewed documentary so far in 2013, says Costa, noting that documentaries are rarely seen by more than 5,000 viewers; Elena is one of the most popular documentaries from Brazil for 2012 and 2013, according to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) Web site.
Costa, 30, says she feels gratified by the attention, because suicide remains a forbidden topic in her homeland. "I felt it was important to talk about it, particularly in Brazil, where it's extremely taboo," she says in a phone interview from her home there. "Until now, there were almost no articles about suicide. And there are almost no support groups. So it's a subject matter that…the film is bringing much more into debate." Costa also notes that since women are under-represented in Brazilian cinema, and are most often portrayed as prostitutes, she wants to show another perspective. She's received e-mails and Facebook messages from grateful viewers who say Elena helped them process their loss of a parent or sibling. Costa was 7 when her sister died; she withdrew, displayed obsessive-compulsive behavior, and claimed that she, too, wanted to die.
A native of Brazil, Costa spent six months of her childhood in New York City with her mother and sister. Despite her mother's misgivings, she landed at Barnard. (She'd applied to several universities, but once accepted into the College, she knew it had everything she wanted.) "The moment I arrived in New York, the phantoms of my sister quickly dissolved," she says, and she no longer feared that Elena's tragic fate would become hers. "I quickly started to make my own path and really fell in love with the whole atmosphere, just being in such a rich environment, exchanging so many ideas, and being challenged intellectually in so many ways. I felt clearly that I found my identity," she says, and remains indebted to Bruce Robbins, a Columbia University professor in the department of English and comparative literature.
Costa found work after graduation with a television company, but it left her unsatisfied. She enrolled at the London School of Economics and Political Science, earning a master's degree in 2008 in health, community, and development, with the idea of aiding trauma survivors in Brazil. "That educational background and the related research inspired me and helped me, and was a kind of theoretical background for Elena," she says.
Filmmaking, though, proved irresistible. Costa directed and produced Undertow Eyes (2009), a 20-minute film about her grandparents before turning her focus on her late sister. Elena took two-and-a-half years to make and was funded with support from the Tribeca Film Institute, the Ford Foundation, and the Brazilian telecommunications company Oi. It is being screened at film festivals around the world and slated to be shown in Brooklyn on August 10 as part of the Rooftop Films series.
For her next film, which is being shot in France and Denmark, Costa is collaborating with Danish filmmaker Lea Glob. The directors met through a Danish initiative that pairs non-European filmmakers with European ones. Another hybrid of documentary and fiction, the film will follow a pregnant woman exploring how her sense of self changes as she prepares for motherhood. It will dig deep into the themes that Costa says she finds irresistible: womanhood, motherhood, identity and relationships.

Downtown Sewanee will see substantial changes by 2022
January 30, 2018 thesewaneepurple News Comments Off on Downtown Sewanee will see substantial changes by 2022

Fleming Smith
Downtown Sewanee, often called the Sewanee Village, may look markedly different by the time next year's freshman class graduates in 2022. The new vision of Sewanee as a college town will center around a Main Street and a village green, and the plan also seeks to combat the lack of available housing by developing more land.
Plans have changed constantly in order to handle challenges of drainage issues, development, and what Sewanee's size can reasonably sustain. Frank Gladu, special assistant to the Vice-Chancellor, developed the plans over several years since the 2011 Campus Master Plan identified steps needed for Sewanee's future as an institution, including the development of the Sewanee Village.
Now, a date has been set: by 2022, the University plans to make substantial progress on narrowing Highway 41A to two lanes in order to create a Main Street, as well as moving the bookstore downtown, adding more housing, creating a larger Sewanee Market, and developing a village green.
"The Village has a long-term impact on how viable the destination is for people to choose to come to Sewanee, so it has an importance factor that I think is really tied to the long-term health of the institution," Gladu explained.
Gladu often jokingly refers to the Village plan as a "100-year plan" due to the scope of the project. "It's a very long-range plan, but we have to give it some immediate relevance as well," he said. Many of the additions planned will not happen all at once or even in the same decade.
As Highway 41A is a U.S. and state route, Gladu has negotiated its reimagining with the Tennessee Department of Transportation. The design will be completed early this year, after which the Department will determine a construction schedule. "Hopefully sometime within 2018, certainly by 2019, we should see some activity of making that project actually a reality," Gladu commented.
After the highway is narrowed, it will be more friendly to pedestrians and bikers. A village green will occupy the location of the current Sewanee Market, which will be moved to a spot across from Taylor's Mercantile.
According to the plan, the Sewanee Market will be rebuilt on a much larger scale, approaching 10,000 square feet in comparison to its current 1,800 square feet. The building will include two upper stories for apartments. The operator of this new market has not yet been determined, though Gladu commented that the current operators have done a "fantastic job."
A major impetus of the Sewanee Village plan involves housing. Currently, more than 20 percent of houses on the Domain are owned as secondary residences and often left unoccupied, not available to faculty and staff who may have to search for housing off the Mountain.
A study group under the direction of Provost Nancy Berner is currently investigating the issue, according to Gladu. At this time, no plans exist for student housing downtown. "The primary efforts for more housing is for faculty and staff," Gladu explained regarding the downtown Sewanee planning.
"We are looking at the possibility, particularly in the downtown zone, the actual 'Phase One' of the Village development, [that] we look at primary residency in that zone. That hasn't been decided yet, but it's something that I've publicly said I wanted to pursue," he commented.
Parson's Green Circle, located behind Regions Bank, is a relatively new development which requires that its residents be primary residents. "I think it makes sense to have someone who lives here full time to activate the area," said Gladu.
While the actual Sewanee Village encompasses 250 acres, Phase One of the University's plan only focuses on the downtown area. No construction has yet begun, but several developers have expressed interest regarding investing in the land.
The Sewanee Village plan does face some challenges, requiring plans to adjust constantly. "If this was easy to build on, they would have built on it a long time ago," Gladu commented with a laugh. Several community members have mentioned storm drainage issues as a concern during monthly meetings at the Blue Chair Tavern & Café about the project.
They now plan to build on higher ground in many places, allowing for green space where the drainage issues are most affecting.
"We don't have a lack of challenges or obstacles," said Gladu. "The topography is very challenging. You would think that we're on the top of a plateau, that everything is nice and flat, but it really isn't," he said. At one point, the plan called for building houses on stilts to combat steep drop-offs.
Many aspects of the plan are speculative, set beyond the new date of 2022 that will see many projects mostly or totally completed. Gladu envisions a possible movie theater framing the village green if the Sewanee Union Theater is repurposed as a student union.
In order to hear the community's feedback on the Sewanee Village plan, Gladu hosts monthly meetings to update community members on the project. "In the fall, I had about 100 people attend those meetings. I'll also say that of those 100 people, the vast majority of them were not repeats," he said.
Gladu has noticed a spirit of caution in many community members who fear that the character of downtown Sewanee will change or that current businesses will be driven out. "They are very cautious and remind me constantly that the nature and culture and fabric of the place—we don't need to be like every other small town in rural America, that we need to maintain our identity," he said.
Gladu commented that the meetings give him a chance to "have some dialogue and to hear other people's point of view so that we can land at a good place, or maybe a better place than we were envisioning before."
He also hopes to do more outreach with students, and he presented the plan at a Rotaract meeting last semester. Gladu imagines that the recent Domain Dollars program will act as a "bridge" between Sewanee student life and what downtown Sewanee offers and will offer in the future.
"I know generally speaking, students don't look at the Village as something that they regularly incorporate into their student life, but I think that's today's student. I can understand why that exists. What about 10 years from now?" he asked.
Mary Margaret Murdock (C'19), the student trustee on the advisory group plan, commented, "I am the only student on the board, which sometimes makes it difficult to share my opinion. I really enjoy being on the committee because I feel like it gives me the opportunity to be involved with something out of the direct student sphere. There are many community members on the board that have given me more of a 'Sewanee as a town' perspective, rather than Sewanee as a place just for students."
Gladu's monthly meetings take place on the first Tuesday of every month at 10 a.m. in the Blue Chair Tavern and again at 5:30 p.m. in the Café. The next meeting will be on February 6.
"I've been here six years. I want to say I appreciate it, but there's always something I learn and always something I get exposed to that I wasn't aware of before, where a person who grew up here just knows it instinctually," said Gladu.
"We don't want to destroy, or erase, or transplant the uniqueness that Sewanee has. We are hopefully, deliberately, trying to incorporate that while at the same time positioning for the future. It's a very challenging balance," he concluded.

Winnetka Bowling League " On the 5″
Okay bear with me for a minute here, ready ? The title of Jennifer Lopez's 1999 debut album was "On the 6" which at the time probably, or at least initially, only made sense to New York City residents with its reference to, you know, the 6 train. With that kind of title it'd be cool to say the album intrinsically captured the feeling, and unpredictable energy of NYC but, of course, it did not. It was typical dance pop circa 1999, the title merely an autobiographical wink from J-Lo to her hometown. The end. Whatever. Okay, come now and meet it's polar opposite in every way, "On the 5". Yeah, that's the 5, as in the West Coast's ubiquitous freeway/highway/endless road. This thing's blood is literally made of California, and reeks of suntan lotion, gasoline, blue skies, flowers, and the breeze rushing through the windows of a '92 Subaru . It longingly dreams about the legendary Summer of Love ( 1967) and references both Revolver, and Pet Sounds in the most romantic and wistful way possible. This isn't hyperbole I swear, all this stuff is in the actual song which is as sweet and swell as can be.

I am a current sophomore at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. I plan on following up my undergraduate degree with graduate studies in Virology or Immunology. As a current student, I have had to spend countless hours perfecting my study habits and working through many difficult concepts on my own. This helps immensely when it comes to tutoring, as I have personal knowledge of some of the struggles students are facing. I tutor general biology at a college and high school level, and this includes AP Biology prep. I also tutor for standardized college entry exams, particularly the ACT. I enjoy biology simply because of the fascinating subject matter, but I especially enjoy test prep because it allows me to really explore the thought process that goes on behind analyzing and answering the test questions. I strive to help all of my students not only find the right answers, but to equip them to think critically and perform well on all tests and in their future studies. Outside of school, I enjoy watching basketball and cooking shows, and I have also started distance running, having completed my first marathon this past fall with more planned in the future.

Draft Terms of Reference released by Commonwealth Government – WWDA
March 13, 2019 Latest NewsBy WWILD Team
People with disability, and our organisations, today welcome the Federal Government's release of the Terms of Reference for our Royal Commission into the epidemic of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability.
"We are pleased that the Government is commencing a consultation with people with disability on the Terms of Reference and has published detail on how the Royal Commission will be established and function," said Carolyn Frohmader, Executive Director of Women With Disabilities Australia, a member of Disabled People's Organisations Australia (DPO Australia).
"Our Royal Commission must have people with disability at its heart and the Terms of Reference and the selection of Commissioners must reflect that," said Matthew Bowden, Co-CEO of People with Disability Australia, a member of DPO Australia.
"We will also be looking for a dedicated line in this year's Federal Budget to give concrete costings, and to make clear that appropriate supports will be funded for people to enable survivors of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation to meaningfully and safely engage in the Royal Commission," said Mr Bowden.
"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disability's specific experiences and needs must take centre stage in this Royal Commission, including dedicated funding for our community to tell our stories and receive justice, said Damian Griffis, CEO, First Peoples Disability Network Australia, a member of DPO Australia.
"We must make sure that people with disability from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds have the appropriate support, including all materials being in community languages and interpreters made available, to fully participate in our Royal Commission," said Dwayne Cranfield, CEO of National Ethnic Disability Alliance, a member of DPO Australia.
"This Royal Commission must make itself accessible to all the places where people with disability live, work and play, including homes, schools, prisons, hospitals, mental health facilities as well as all disability support institutions and organisations," said Ms Frohmader.
"Providing a safe and accessible environment for people with disability, wherever they are, to engage with this process will ultimately shape the effectiveness of this Royal Commission," said Mr. Bowden.
DPO Australia has developed a Roadmap to Our Royal Commission that details what we need the Royal Commission to include.

The premier podcast about all things USL and soccer in the United States.
The guys burn through this week's games wondering which surprising team will become risers or fallers, we rightly predict a yellow card retraction, and generally fill an hour with American tier 2 soccer talk.
The post The USL Show Week 6 appeared first on BGN - Beautiful Game Network.


Reiki is a gentle, non intrusive, yet profound hands-on healing treatment which channels universal life force energy into the body by a gentle placing of the therapist's hands on the client. Many clients report a feeling of profound relaxation as Reiki balances and harmonises their body, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Reiki means 'universal life force energy' and originates from Japan. It is a hands-on healing art but can also be sent in the form of distant healing. The therapist channels the energy to the person receiving the Reiki. It is not the therapists' energy; they are just the vessel through which the Reiki travels. Reiki is a powerful and beautiful treatment to receive, giving you exactly what you need. You draw the energy in rather than the therapist pushing it into you, so you always get the exact amount you need.
During a Reiki treatment no pressure is used and clients remain fully clothed.
Level 1 and Level 2 Reiki are also available – email for information.


In a bid to make finances less lonely, the bank is rolling out a massive masterbrand campaign focused on how it can help.
The Bank of Montreal is rolling out a brand refresh, emphasizing the "human touch" as it heads into 2015.
Despite having seen strong growth and financial performance in both Canada and the U.S., the bank struggled to connect with new consumers, says Joanna Rotenberg, CMO and head of strategy at BMO.
What's more, insight uncovered the innately lonely nature of finances, she adds. Beyond the fact that every person's finances are unique, it is often difficult to discuss financial issues with other people.
So to help address those two pain points, the brand, alongside creative agency Y&R and media agency Maxus, is rolling out a new masterbrand campaign "We're here to help," hoping to highlight the role BMO can play in helping people with their finances while simultaneously putting a human face on the brand.
The campaign includes TV spots (one, for example, features a young athletically challenged boy being helped by a coach, juxtaposed with the messaging that BMO is also there to help), as well as OOH and digital banners, says Gavin Bayley, SVP global client leader at Y&R.
BMO maintains an "always on" marketing strategy, she adds, though the media buy on launch is larger than the rest of the year. She adds that the brand is taking a "test and learn" approach to creative.


A new video series being published by Grand Canyon National Park Service is called Grand Canyon In Depth. Episode 1 will give you a feel for the inside of Grand Canyon. At GrandCanyon.com, we encourage you to join those 5% of visitors that will descend below the rim. Here is a link to some tours you might consider.
This new video series explores the natural and human history of Grand Canyon. You can join park rangers, scientists, and historians as they take us beyond the rim of the canyon to discover the diversity of life and the extraordinary beauty of Grand Canyon National Park.
When you plan your Vacation, it is important to learn more about the Grand Canyon before you arrive. This presentation explores the Canyon more in depth than most. The National Park Service present the diversity of experiences that are offered to you while you are at the Canyon.
As you watch, it gives you a fuller perspective and more reasons to visit. Over 90% of the Park is wilderness and managed for you to visit. There are very few roads into the backcountry. This management causes us all to slow down and experience the Canyon more fully.
At the end of the Video, we offer you the opportunity to download the NPS Travel Planner to Grand Canyon.

"WHAT IF…" film ~ A Community Concern
March 19, 2014 - 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
A Community Concern is a documentary that shows the powerful changes that happen when organizers, parents and youth work with educators to improve urban public schools. The film not only provides motivation, bringing viewers a window into a growing national movement that is generally below the media radar, but it can serve as a bridge between different constituencies.
In collaboration with the Rosamond Gifford Foundation, ArtRage Gallery will screen films depicting community efforts to improve their communities and the world. The spring series of three films begins in March and runs thru May 2014. Films were selected by a committee of community members and are shown twice on different weekdays followed by a facilitated discussion. All films are free to the public. No reservation is required.
Doors Open at 6pm for Gallery Gazing and Refreshments. Film begins at 6:30pm.
Thank You to our Sponsors »

TICKET DETAILS
By Leegrid Stevens
FEBRUARY 10 – MARCH 5, Main Stage
SPACEMAN is a full-sensory, surround-sound expedition into outer space. Spaceman follows Molly Jennis's solo mission to Mars after her husband's failed, tragic attempt at the same journey. Aaron Grunfeld's review of the original production at Loading Dock Theatre remarked that Spaceman "…is a masterpiece of science fiction..it imparts that classic sense of wonder, marveling at humanity's potential and the courage that drives our endeavors. If it should come to your city, see it." When Amphibian Stage Co-Artistic Director Jay Duffer reached out to Leegrid about producing Spaceman, Stevens revealed how apt it was that the play would be presented in DFW, specifically at Amphibian Stage.
This production will be the first since the world premiere at New York City's Loading Dock Theatre in 2019.
Amphibian Stage's New Tiered Ticket Pricing Model
Tickets for this show range from $15-60, but YOU get to decide what you pay in an effort to make theatre more accessible for any budget. Read more about our tiered ticketing model here!
From the Playwright
"My mother-in-law is a native Fort Worther and has attended several productions at Amphibian Stage. Like a dutiful mother-in-law, she suggested I submit a play to Amphibian as 'they're real good.' Well, I listened to her for once and here we are! My wife grew up in Keller and we return to Fort Worth once or twice a year. I am thrilled that Spaceman is taking flight again, with a new team, in our second home."

    regexp:             Regular expression pattern; any matching files will be extracted. Overridden
                        by mask if specified.
    unrar_tool:         Specifies the path of the unrar tool. Only necessary if its location is not

    delete_archive:     [yes|no] (default: no) Delete this archive after extraction is completed.

CANADA - Researchers have discovered that a form of oxytocinthe hormone responsible for making humans fall in lovehas a similar effect on fish, suggesting it is a key regulator of social behaviour that has evolved and endured since ancient times.
The findings, published in the latest edition of the journal Animal Behaviour, help answer an important evolutionary question: why do some species develop complex social behaviours while others spend much of their lives alone?
"We know how this hormone affects humans," explains Adam Reddon, lead researcher and a graduate student in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour at McMaster University. "It is related to love, monogamy, even risky behaviour, but much less is known about its effects on fish."
Specifically, researchers examined the cichlid fish Neolamprologus pulcher, a highly social species found in Lake Tanganyika in Africa.
These cichlids are unusual because they form permanent hierarchical social groups made up of a dominant breeding pair and many helpers that look after the young and defend their territory.
For the experiments, researchers injected the cichlids with either isotocina "fish version" of oxytocinor a control saline solution.
When placed in a simulated territorial competition with a single perceived rival, the isotocin-treated fish were more aggressive towards large opponents, regardless of their own size.
"The hormone increases responsiveness to social information and may act as an important social glue," says Mr Reddon. "It ensures the fish handle conflict well and remain a cohesive group because they will have shorter, less costly fights."
"We already knew that this class of neuropeptides are ancient and are found in nearly all vertebrate groups," says Sigal Balshine, a professor in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour. "What is especially exciting about these findings, is that they bolster the idea that function of these hormones, as modulators of social behaviour, has also been conserved."

L'église Sainte-Madeleine est une église romane située à Tournus, dans le département français de Saône-et-Loire et la région Bourgogne.

Elle a fait l'objet d'une protection au titre des monuments historiques.

Histoire
L'église Sainte-Madeleine a été construire au centre de l'ancienne ville romane de Tournus   alors qu'à l'époque la grande Abbaye Saint-Philibert se trouvait hors les murs.

Elle a été consacrée en 1148 par l'évêque de Chalon . À cette époque, elle était dédiée à Sainte-Marie-du-Châtel.

En 1562, elle est pillée par les Huguenots . À la Révolution, elle est fermée en 1791, puis transformée en entrepôt à sel et à fourrages en 1793 . Sous le Directoire, elle est menacée de démolition .

Rendue à l'usage du culte, les autorités envisagent de la déconsacrer entre 1806 et 1809 . Cependant son statut d'église se maintient. En 1904, lors des conflits précédent la Loi de séparation des Églises et de l'État, des émeutiers la saccagent complètement  .

L'église fait l'objet d'une inscription au titre des monuments historiques par arrêté du  .

Compte tenu de son mauvais état, l'église, lieu de culte, a été fermée par décision administrative (arrêté municipal) en janvier 2021. Le 24 novembre de la même année, à l'initiative du père Dominique Oudot, recteur de l'abbatiale Saint-Philibert, une Association pour le patrimoine religieux de Tournus (siège à la paroisse) a été créée, avec pour objectif d'apporter un soutien financier à la commune de Tournus en vue de la restauration des trois monuments religieux implanté ssur le territoire de la ville, qui sont, outre l'église Sainte-Madeleine, l'abbatiale romane et l'église Saint-Laurent.

Architecture

L'architecture de l'église est simple : une nef, avec deux bas-côtés de 5 travées séparées de la nef par des piliers cruciformes . Il n'y a pas de transept visible. En raison de la construction de l'église sur la rue Désiré Mathivet, le porche ouvre sur le ouest-sud-ouest.

Le portail d'entrée est de style roman bourguignon du . Il est décoré de six colonnettes différentes par l'ornementation, notamment pour leurs chapiteaux.

La porte elle-même est en chêne sculpté. Elle date de l'époque Louis XV et a été installée par le cardinal de Fleury.

À gauche de l'entrée, se trouve une chapelle avec des fonts baptismaux.

Le maître autel est taillé en pierre de Préty qui imite le marbre. Il porte une inscription mentionnant Claude Pageault comme donateur en 1770.

La chapelle de l'abside nord, dédiée à la Vierge, contient une statue de Vierge à l'Enfant en bois doré du .

La chapelle Sainte-Madeleine au sud est plus riche avec au plafond des caissons de style renaissance. Elle contient une statue de Sainte-Madeleine en bois doré du , ainsi que les armes de deux familles de donateurs : Lapiatz et Verjus.

Les vitraux ont été placés après l'explosion du pont sur la Saône en 1944. Ils datent de 1947 et représentent l'évêque Saint-Nicolas, patron des mariniers et l'évangéliste saint Matthieu, patron des tonneliers.

À l'origine, le clocher possédait une flèche, mais un violent orage l'a abattue en 1557. Depuis, il est couvert d'une batière, c'est-à-dire un toit à deux pentes . Ce clocher abrite deux cloches fondues en 1862, l'une en bronze (œuvre de Gédéon Morel à Lyon), l'autre en acier (provenant des Aciéries d'Unieux).

Agitating residents send back land acquisition officials
Tension prevailed near the City Airport area, when a group of residents prevented the district officials from measuring the land for expansion of the airport, a process, which was pending for the last nine years.
The officials from the Land Acquisition department had gone to Irugur and Chinniyampalam to measure the land marked for the expansion of the airport, including the runway, in 613 acre of area. Learning about the visit, some of the residents erected a pandal and hoisted black flags in protest, stating that their houses will be demolished, once the expansion plans begin.
The police removed them from the area, since they had not obtained permission for the protests.
Meanwhile, a group of 200 residents 'gheraoed' the officials and asked them to go back, as a case was pending in the court, regarding this issue. They also said that compensation paid to them was very meagre. The owners on the opposite side were however being given 700 times more than what they were getting.
The officials left the place without measuring the land.


The old parental admonition that you won't make money, or do anything with your life playing video games is becoming harder and harder to believe. Variety reports popular YouTube personality Jordan "CaptainSparklez" Maron just purchase a $4.5 million home in Hollywood, not far from Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson.
Maron primarily streams Minecraft on his YouTube channel that is quickly approaching 9 million subscribers, but will do other games from time to time such as Trials Fusion, Goat Simulator, and Grand Theft Auto V. His channel also hosts various Minecraft music videos and parodies.
In addition to the YouTube channel, he also hosts a Twitch stream with over 1.2 million followers. However, he does not stream as much there so most of his activity and his income comes through the YouTube channel.
In just over five years, Maron has racked up over 1.9 billion views. That would certainly explain how is able to afford a swanky artistic $4.5 million home on top of a hill in Hollywood.
According to Variety, the home has 4,100 square feet with three bedrooms, five bathrooms, glass-railed terraces on all three floors with views that extend to the Pacific Ocean. A living and dining room are on the uppermost floor along with the master bedroom that opens to a terrace with an outdoor fireplace.
A family room is situated on the bottom level accompanied by a sunken wet bar, a terrace with a stainless steel barbecue, party-sized spa, and an infinity swimming pool.
This makes the second Minecraft personality that has purchased a Hollywood home. Of course Maron's place is decidedly more intimate than Markus Persson's $70 million mansion with vodka and tequila bars, a 90-inch high definition television, and a candy room with a massive candy dispensary.
The Minecraft creator was already rich thanks to the stunning success and popularity of the game. However, he reached new levels of wealth once Microsoft purchased Minecraft and Mojang from him for a cool $2.5 billion.
The high life hasn't necessarily been fulfilling for Persson since then. The game developer took to Twitter this past August to lament the loss of motivation after getting everything he could want, the lack of real friends, and the difficulty of finding a girl.
Will CaptainSparklez suffer the same fate? It seems unlikely simply because of the personality difference between the two. Persson is notoriously introverted in private, as the Thomas Amroth book A Year with Minecraft: Behind the Scenes at Mojang detailed. Persson also struggled with game development, having turned the Minecraft development duties over to Jens Bergensten and the rest of Mojang in late 2011. His attempt at follow-up games ended in mental blocks and cancellations.
Meanwhile, Maron comes across as an extrovert and is still streaming Minecraft and other games at a prodigious pace of two to three videos a day with other members of his production team. He has even made videos about his new home and shared them to his channel. He hasn't yet shown off the infinity swimming pool or sunken wet bar, but he has shared his "production room," where streams are created, along with his garage and some of his yard issues as well.
CaptainSparlez is just one of many who have made a successful living out of being a YouTube personality with a game focus. PewDiePie, 25-year old Felix Kjellberg, is the current reigning king of gaming video makers with more than $7.5 million earned last year alone from ad revenue. The industry has grown so much in such a short time that Amazon purchased Twitch, while YouTube recently started a dedicated game streaming service.
Turns out playing video games can be pretty profitable after all.


IRVING, Tx. – Move over Rob Ford, how about a dog as mayor?
A local canine did come very close to being on the may 5th election ballot, Tuesday morning, hit owner filed a petition on his terrier's behalf.
The petition was complete with valid signatures to put his pooch's name on the ballot.
However, the city said the dog is not a registered voter.
Without being a registered voter the dog could not qualify to be mayor.
His owner says it's a shame, especially considering what would be a better way to solve all the cat-fighting in politics but with a dog.

Derek Fisher's NBA Championship Rings, More Jewelry Reportedly Stolen from Home
Mike Chiari@mikechiariTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistJanuary 31, 2017

Former Los Angeles Lakers point guard Derek Fisher is reportedly alleging that his five NBA championship rings were stolen from his home in Los Angeles on Monday.
According to TMZ Sports, Fisher told police his home had been burglarized Monday morning, and it is believed the perpetrator got into the house through a side door.
There was allegedly other jewelry stolen in addition to the championship rings. No arrests have been made in relation to the case.
The 42-year-old Fisher played 18 NBA seasons with the Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks.
He averaged 8.3 points and 3.0 assists per game, and he won all five of his titles during his time with the Lakers.
Fisher retired from playing following the 2013-14 campaign to become the head coach of the New York Knicks, but he was fired after parts of just two seasons with an overall record of 40-96.
He is currently a Lakers studio analyst for Spectrum SportsNet in L.A.
Fisher has yet to publicly comment on the alleged burglary.

Thank you so much to Warner for his brilliant research and dedication, to all the Angels who so generously supported this project, and especially to Karen Guzak, whose generosity, leadership, and inspiration started this whole thing rolling.
WHY: Grand Opportunity to purchase the book and support both the independent bookstore and our publication Published by the People of Snohomish and Friends.
J.S. White: Our First Architect documents White's surviving structures from 19th-century Snohomish with essays by local historian Warner Blake and color photographs by Otto Greule. White left nothing behind except his buildings, so Blake combed through newspapers of the time to discover White's story and identify his structures. Particularly notable is the White Building — the builder-architect's own two-story red brick masterpiece, which was misidentified for more than 50 years. Generously illustrated with over 60 historic photographs, this book is also the story of the city's rise and fall as the birthplace of Snohomish County.
BONUS EVENT ON THE RADIO: Warner and Karen will be guests on KSER's Sound Living, Friday, July 28th at 4p.
Hosted by veteran independent broadcaster Ed Bremer, and it's a call-in show: 425.303.9070!
Photographer Otto Greule will be standing by in Seattle to join in … why not you too?

"Your faith has saved you." A simple statement, yet extraordinarily complex. This has to be one of the most challenging of Jesus' sayings. What is faith in this story? Everyone of us, in our given context, can articulate what faith is all about. It could be on how a nurse cares for some patients. It could also be on how a school teacher teaches the children. And, on how a preacher delivers a sermon.
Faith is the execution of a belief. Faith is about putting into motion a principle. Faith is an expression of an ideology. Faith starts with a prayer and continues with every deed in our daily lives. It is about proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. We were tasked to get this done collectively. And it is always done in the name of Jesus Christ.
In our gospel today, once the unnamed woman learned that Jesus is in the city, she displayed her faith in Jesus through action. She was proactive in expressing her desire to be recognized by Jesus. In spite of the criticism she heard, she kept her focus in accomplishing her goal. And that is to be saved through faith.
What is the level of our perseverance when it comes to putting our faith into motion? How far we would go to express our ideology in the Christine faith? Faith is about proper execution and accomplishing the goals set by God for us to act on. Faith involves prayer and action. Faith is a movement that will build up the kingdom of God.


The former President of the European Committee of the Regions, Markku Markkula, encourages cities and stakeholders to foster bottom-up activities and to develop positive changes to cities and regions. To him, the main drivers are the combination between human collaboration and digitalization. As new ways to create innovation are needed, Markku Markkula reckons that sharing challenges between cities and regions can work as a catalyst to come up with solutions and ideas to tackle them. To him, a mindset change is urgent and it is key to start considering challenges as opportunities.
Markku Markkula is the first Vice-President EU Committee of the Regions. Former member of the Finnish Parliament (1995-2003) and former President of the European Committee of the Regions. He also works as advisor at the Aalto University, where his focus lays mainly on European Union research, innovation and education policy affairs.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect on 25 May 2018, and the implications of this new data protection requirement are still being discussed and interpreted at enterprises in the EU and around the world. Ultimately, all enterprises that conduct business and hold personal data on just one person located in the European Union will fall under the mandates of this EU requirement, no matter where the enterprises are located.
IT auditors are critical resources in helping enterprises achieve and maintain compliance. However, since GDPR is a new, complex and comprehensive regulation that impacts many functional areas within an enterprise, auditors will likely encounter many new questions and challenges in completing necessary audit/assurance activities. Our FREE white paper, How To Audit GDPR, breaks new ground and offers important answers and insights into conducting this new type of audit engagement.
In addition, to help with the assurance process, we have also developed the GDPR Audit Program Bundle. It covers implementation controls as well as maintenance controls, providing an evaluation of how effectively GDPR is being governed, monitored and managed. The review will focus on GDPR governance and response mechanisms as well as supporting processes, which can help to manage the risks associated with non-compliance to GDPR.
Finally, be sure to check out our FREE quick reference checklist, Tips for Auditing GDPR, for more helpful advice about assuring enterprise GDPR compliance.
Providing audit assurance on GDPR is not a one-off process; the regulation requires auditors to consider personal data throughout the enterprise's annual audit plan. This collection of audit guidance from ISACA can you and your enterprise better protect data within your organization and reaffirm compliance to stakeholders. Download your copies today!


The Burgundy School of Business (BSB), a member of the exclusive club of century-old management schools, is celebrating its 110th anniversary in 2010. More than a century of existence during which the school, today a major actor in entrepreneurial management, has always adapted to changes in the world by relying on strong and stable values such as Openness, Responsibility and Creativity. Thanks to unrelenting innovation BSB has become a reference for management in the wine industry or in experimental economics. This innovation is also reflected in the global strategic alliance with Oxford Brookes University, which is a first in French Business Schools.
The school has had close ties with the wine trade since its earliest days and today is a reference in wine management. The Mastère Spécialisé Commerce International des Vins et Spiritueux (Specialised Master in International Wine and Spirits Trade), which was created in 1989, and the Wine Management Institute, created in 2009 are the spearhead. Today, the Wine Management Institute benefits from the unique support of the LESSAC (Laboratory for Experimentation in Social Sciences and Behaviour Analysis) – the largest laboratory for Experimental Economics in Europe, launched in 2008. Thanks to its transversal approach and innovative style, the LESSAC has allowed the Burgundy School of Business to be at the forefront of pedagogical innovation and research.
Since 2008, Burgundy School of Business has been working towards the school of tomorrow by developing a unique model of global alliance with Oxford Brookes University. This major milestone in the history of the school will lead to the creation of a veritable Franco-British Business School, based in two sites (Oxford and Dijon) with shared programmes, faculty, students, relationships with businesses and the same organisational culture. With a total of 4,500 students and 150 international professors, this alliance is a new model for Europe.
Dijon is in eastern France, and is the capital of the Côte-d'Or département and of the Burgundy region.
The earliest archaeological finds within the city limits of Dijon date to the Neolithic period. Dijon later became a Roman settlement called Divio, located on the road from Lyon to Paris. The province was home to the Dukes of Burgundy from the early 11th until the late 15th centuries and Dijon was a place of tremendous wealth and power and one of the great European centres of art, learning and science.
Dijon holds an International and Gastronomic Fair every year in autumn. With over 500 exhibitors and 200,000 visitors every year, it is one of the ten most important fairs in France. Dijon is also home, every three years, to the international flower show Florissimo.
Dijon is famous for Dijon mustard which originated in 1856, when Jean Naigeon of Dijon substituted verjuice, the acidic "green" juice of not-quite-ripe grapes, for vinegar in the traditional mustard recipe.
Most Stetson students will enroll in the First Year Master in Management Program, however there will be a few exceptions.
- Students in France also need to budget for the manatory Social Security Fee (required by the French government) = around 200 euro.
We encourage you to look at The Burgundy School of Business (BSB) website.
However, you should apply to the exchange via this system.
We also encourage you to look at their website specific to exchange students as well as practical information for exchange students.

How Many Acres of Soybeans Are Needed?
The USDA's survey of U.S. crop producers last month revealed intentions to plant 81.493 million acres of soybeans this year. That is 3.765 million more than reported as planted or intended to be planted in June of last year, 4.96 million more than actually planted in 2013, and 4.042 million more than the previous record acreage in 2009. Planting intentions exceed last year's acreage in every major soybean state except Missouri, with the largest increases reported for Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota. A slightly smaller percentage of plantings will likely be double-cropped acreage because soft red-winter wheat acreage was reported to be down by 16 percent from acreage of a year ago
According to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good, the large increase in soybean planting intentions reflects strong world demand for soybeans and the resulting high prices of soybeans relative to other crops, particularly corn.
"As the planting season gets underway, the job of the markets is to direct final planting decisions of major spring-planted crops," Good said. "That is a complicated process surrounded by a lot of uncertainty about the nature of the growing season and resulting yields, as well as uncertainty about the strength of demand for U.S. crops during the year ahead. That demand strength depends on the magnitude of production in the rest of the world and a number of economic and political developments. There are differing and changing assessments of all of these factors. The market, however, must direct planting decisions without knowing the outcome of these important factors. Ideally, production would be at levels that provide 'reasonable' prices for both producers and consumers of the crops and some level of reserves at the end of the year," he said.
The USDA projects consumption of U.S soybeans and soybeans imported in to the United States during the current marketing year at 3.36 billion bushels, equal to the record consumption during the 2009-10 marketing year. Good said that consumption is large in spite of continued high prices and back-to-back record production of soybeans in the rest of the world during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 marketing years. World consumption of soybeans during the current marketing year is projected at a record 9.884 billion bushels, 40 percent more than consumed 10 years ago.
"Much of the growth in world consumption has occurred in China, up 130 percent in 10 years," Good said. "Although it may not be reasonable to expect Chinese consumption to continue to grow at the pace of the past 10 years, there is no sign of a reversal in consumption. The United States should continue to have a large share of exports to China even with another large South American crop in 2015. Record-high livestock prices and a likely increase in biodiesel production should keep domestic soybean consumption large as well," he said.
According to Good, under the assumptions of "reasonable" prices, large South American production, and slower but continued growth in world soybean consumption during the year ahead, consumption of U.S. and imported soybeans should be at least as large as during the current marketing year. With stocks of soybeans at the start of the 2014-15 marketing year at the projected level of 135 million bushels, a 50 million bushel decline in marketing-year imports from the record level of this year, and a more comfortable level of year-ending stocks near 185 million bushels, the 2014 U.S. soybean crop would have to total 3.395 billion bushels to accommodate consumption of 3.36 billion bushels. That would be 106 million bushels larger than the 2013 crop and 36 million bushels larger than the record crop of 2009. With a favorable growing season and a U.S. average yield near-trend value of 44.2 bushels, a crop that size would require 76.8 million harvested acres of soybeans. The difference between planted and harvested acreage varies from year to year, depending primarily on the extent of adverse weather. The average difference in the previous 10 years was 970 thousand acres. With larger planted acreage and normal weather, abandonment near 1 million acres might be expected in 2014. A crop of 3.395 billion bushels would require planted acreage of about 77.8 million.
"It could be argued that the projection of marketing-year consumption used here is too conservative under the assumption of lower prices," Good said. "If use is 100 million bushels larger, planted acreage would need to be near 80.1 million under the other assumptions. Additionally, the market may need to encourage even more acreage to reflect the risk of an average yield below-trend value. For example, consumption of 3.46 billion bushels and a yield of 43 bushels per acre would require planted acreage near 81.3 million acres. That is marginally less than reported planting intentions.
"Over the past 10 years, planted acreage of soybeans in the United States has differed by as much as 3.3 million acres from March intentions and the market still has some time to influence the magnitude of acreage in 2014," Good said. "Unless conditions change dramatically it appears that planting intentions reported last month are fully adequate to meet consumption needs at more modest price levels than experienced during the past three marketing years."
