Mt. Healthy - The HOUSEOFDOOM!!!
...Hasn't Met THIS Little Girl!
Speaking Of Scary, Get A Load Of Him!
And He Sounds Way Creepier Than He Looks. Brrrrrrrrrr!!!!
If Satan's In The House, We Run His Photo!
Longtime Mt. Healthy Haunted Hall staffer Betty Hancock wasn't performing inside the haunt as usual-instead she was working the ticket booth as a result of a broken foot. We're assured there's no truth to the rumor that this was a result of kicking the behind of a local haunt reviewer. As we talked to her about this year's Hall, we surveyed the graveyard behind the ticket booth. There was a shambling zombie with its neck tilted to the side as if it had been broken. With its hair in disarray and splattered with blood, it drug a large stuffed toy behind it as it lurched slowly ahead. As it turned its head towards us, it exposed its mouth-an area of nothing but teeth surrounded by a raw area where the skin had been ripped away to expose the glistening muscle and sinew beneath. What made this particular zombie really impressive is that it was one of the Hall's pint sized volunteers-a little girl that one suspects has watched a LOT of the Walking Dead on TV. She's only one of the ghouls who call the Hall their home-a collection of some of the most memorable characters in the area. Between the characters and some of the new scenes making their debut this year, it's a gas-and in more ways than one, as we'll see.
Assuming no one 'meats' with a terrible 'end' at Fangface's hands (here's a hint-just like Bug Boy's barbershop from last season, DO NOT tell Fangface you want it "long in the back"), you're hustled past some holding cells with other prisoners equally eager to make your acquaintance and into the Hall's Hellevator. No choices given this season-it's straight on to Floor 13 and your appointment with the gas chamber. Clouds of toxic gas fill the room-this is the first gas attack on today's tour, and by no means the deadliest. Still, it looks like its curtains-at least until a hooded silhouette enters the room and shows you the way out. Relief washes over the would-be victims until the figure draws back his hood to reveal the grinning, gap toothed visage of the Right Honorable Reverend Emmett Rotts. Played by Eric Sterwerf (the brains behind many of the Hall's craziest scenes the past few seasons), apparently Rotts has decided to do some moonlighting as the prison's executioner. What could be better for a killer klergyman than getting to wipe out the sinners AND have it all be sanctioned by the state? It all leads to here-the electric chair room, with not one but two dead man's thrones. Unlike other haunts where hauntgoers idly view an animatronic thrashing around as its fried in the chair, here it's a do-it-yourself project. Yes, this time it'll be YOU getting fried!
Electrocuting the audience members is a great idea that the Hall came upon providentially rather than planning out. As two of the Hall's longtime volunteers, Andy Schehr (a veteran of all 24 years) and Mark Roetting (not far behind at 18), tell us, time was running short on putting the haunt together. The Hall only has a couple of weeks to construct the entire event from the ground up, and there wasn't going to be time to finish the animatronic that was planned for the chairs. Instead, a vibrating mechanism was attached to them and members of each group get to experience the 'jolt' of being electrocuted. Other than actually killing off hauntgoers (we've been told that's being planned next year for the big 25th anniversary), it's the ultimate in crowd interaction! A grinning Rotts leers and croaks "The ladies just love it!", a claim that's echoed by the staff.
As one might imagine, the Hall's prison ends with the 'last mile' to the electric chair. The rest of the scenes inside the actual Hall feature popular recurring characters. There's Dr. Crazy, still trying to reanimate the dead after his epic fail from last year. He's SURE he knows what went wrong and that he's got it all figured out. Us, we're not so sure. But you'll never know until his newest experiment under that bloodstained sheet is revealed! Another Hall favorite is the Grim Reaper, stalking the blackness of the cemetery in the final room. In between these two scenes, back in his accustomed 'digs', is classic haunt character Count Dracula. Dracula was a staple of the very first Cincinnati haunt in 1970 and while you don't see him at other attractions much these days, he continues to show he still has what it takes every season at the Haunted Hall.
And speaking of recurring characters, the saga of The HOD!!!'s favorite haunt scaractor continues. We're speaking of course about Bug Boy, the Hall's 'notorious derelict corpse'. Easily identified by his insect covered white shirt and grinning skull face, he was first glimpsed 20 years ago or more. Sitting in his sleaz-y chair watching a static filled TV in a room where the walls were filled with crawling insects (the same walls currently found in Dr. Crazy's lab), the Bugster has thrived. The years go by, the costume and mask changes along with the actors who portray him, but the legend lives on! The one thing that never changes is the trouble he finds himself in from season to season! He's taken a job at a barber shop, tried his hand at rapping, been bartender at a local hangout, been on the lam from the cops, and even tried fleecing old people out of their social security checks by cheating at bingo. And this year, he's facing the ultimate sticky situation-marriage! Yes, this season the Hall's storage shed (usually the setting for the year's most whimsical scenes) has been converted to a chapel and is home to the unholy union of star crossed lovers Bug Boy and Bug Girl. Bug Girl is the large, mutated version of one of the insects found on her prospective husband's shirt. We're not sure if you can refer to an insect's antennae as 'horns', but if you can, you could say that Bug Girl has quite the rack! But this evening, things aren't working out for the poor girl-Bug Boy has seemingly gotten cold feet (not unusual for a corpse) and has left her at the altar. One of the Hall's staffers was busily questioning hauntgoers if they had seen the elusive groom lurking nearby, but to no avail. We couldn't understand why-maybe it had something to do with insects devouring their spouses after mating. It does seem as if the story had a happy ending as we did glimpse the Bugster, resplendent in his top hat, fawning on his new bride after we had found our way out of the maze. Could Bug Baby be far behind? The Hall's old shed has been home to the Monster Maternity in the past-maybe it'll need to be brought back for the 25th anniversary!
After the "Wee Chapel of the Bugster", there's a series of tents and outdoor tableaus with scenes both new and old. Returning from last season is Crystal Lake, featuring the Hall's awesome home-made lake with rolling fog and atmospheric lighting. There's an old-time special effect utilizing mirrors that makes it look as if slasher Jason Voorhees's latest victim has been chopped in half and stuck on a pole, where she screams for help. And of course, where you find victims, you'll find Jason. The fast-moving Vortex tunnel spins hauntgoers on their way into the 'sliding scarecrow' field. A mirrored funhouse (three times bigger than last year) is home to several Klowns and a haunted toy box-it also has the Hall's unique spinning floor. According to Mark, when installed years ago, it was four times as fast as it is now-and it's still fast enough to make even the most sure-footed hauntgoers into a stumbling buffoon. The fog-choked werewolf woods are as spooky as ever, with an excellent performance from a hyperactive wild werewolf who could really belt out a HOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!! (she's also the mother of the little zombie out front-it's almost a modern-day Munsters!). A witch brews up trouble right next door. Pumpkins big and small infest a room, along with the Pump-King. The most chilling scene, though, was the blackened mine shaft. From the darkness, some sort of unseen creature crawled about on the ground, getting closer and closer. The sounds it made were the ultimate in creepy-a cross between a hissing rattlesnake, a gurgling slashed throat, and a swarm of insects. The actor's vocal talents impressed even this veteran haunter-he's the early favorite for haunt actor of the year even though he never came out into the light. We snapped a photo to see what he looked like later, and the visage was every bit as impressive as the voice-check out the photo for yourself (it's in the group before this article).
Located at the outskirts of the Crystal Lake area, right before the entrance to the Hall's mineshaft stands one of the Hall's new scenes. It wasn't a complete surprise to us, since Haunted Hall Matt had sort of 'leaked' it back on The HOD!!!'s Haunt Message Board back in April ("The dog poop monster is closer to reality than you think"). But there it stands, more than five feet above the ground-the Hall's brand new outhouse and the scene of its second gas attack. You know things are likely to get messy when a mine worker wearing a gas mask bursts out of the outhouse and jumps down into the path of your group. Pointing to the tunnel under the outhouse, he says "I wouldn't go in there if I were you!" Clambering up a ladder back to the outhouse, he enters the structure and slams the door. It isn't long before a waterfall of yellowish liquid is cascading from the bottom of the outhouse onto the ground along with sh...uhhhh, other stuff. Sighing with relief from inside, the worker informs you it's now OK to pass (he sure did). The only thing we can think of that's less appealing than walking through the mess left on the ground is to have been standing there a few seconds before! It's a classic haunt gross-out moment. The disgusting bathroom isn't new-Club Blood at Kings Island gives you the world's filthiest public restroom, and St. Rita's, Dent, USS Nightmare, and Dungeons of Delhi all have variants of it. But the Hall is the ONLY place in town where it's a totally immersive experience-although hopefully it won't be your shoes or the top of your head that are immersed. As a bonus, the scene also provides an opening startle scare when the miner comes hurtling down from above-our friends at Ohio Valley Haunts were taken completely by surprise as they approached. Only the Hall would have the imagination to think of an elevated outhouse with the tour passing underneath, and then have enough nerve to actually go ahead and build it! Eric and Matt began work on the outhouse/cave/mine complex months before construction started on the rest of the Hall. Eric's only regret in the matter is that they didn't use his suggestion for this season's Haunted Hall T-Shirt: "24 years of scaring the sh-t out of you!"
There have been some rumors that plans were afoot to take the Haunted Hall to its 25th anniversary next season and then shut it down. Not only would that be a great loss to the local haunt community, but on a personal level, we don't think there's any haunt that'd we'd miss more. The staffers admit that the rigors of putting up the attraction in such a short time have been compounded by dwindling assistance from volunteer groups and that shutting down had been brought up. However, as Betty told us, "When October rolls around, you get started putting things together, the adrenaline and excitement kick in, and nobody's thinking about calling it quits". Andy and Mark also concur that the Hall will survive its 25th season and return to provide its unique blend of horror, gross-out, startles, whimsy, humor and fun to Tri-State haunters. The Hall already has 'screened' plans for its 'silver' anniversary, and keeping it 'reel' is a major part of that. From the descriptions of the planned line-up of rooms, classic props being resurrected, and refitting done to some existing scenes, it sounds like it could be what we here at The HOD!!! would consider our dream haunt. It'll be fresh, unique, and throwback all at the same time. It couldn't be in better hands and we're already excitedly looking forward to it. But that's looking a bit too far ahead-looking back, the Hall has long been one of the best haunt values in town, and you can still get in for less than ten bucks with the donation of a canned good. Just don't bring any cans of beans-the miner in the outhouse doesn't need any more 'encouragement'. Many things have been said about the Hall over the years, but this year no one can deny that…it's a gas!
I Wouldn't Go In There If I Were You.
Or Even Worse, Under There.

Because the Hall's A 'Smashing' Success!
WORKING THAT HAUNTED HALL MAGIC!
In a quavering voice, sideshow magician "The Great AliKillzam" described in graphic terms the results of his unprecedented feats of prestidigitation. Unprecedented in terms of epic failure, that is. The escape artist that he buried alive? Now a heap of bones in a coffin. The woman sawed in half? Well, neither part of her 'SAW it coming!' giggles AliKillzam's flunky. The daring challenge of escaping from a water tank ended with the 'glass half empty'-the body being freed, but not the head! And the daredevil who tried the 'Bullet Catch'? Well, that ended in failure, not to mention a big red splotch on the wall. But perhaps the greatest feat of all is that AliKillzam mysteriously managed to come through all of this completely unscathed. TA-DAAAAAAAA!!!!!! This proves once again that magic is best performed on someone else, especially if you're also a psychotic serial killer. Want to catch his show and perhaps be one of the lucky few chosen from the audience to take part in this amazing display for young and old alike? AliKillzam assures us "I'll be appearing all week", working that Haunted Hall Magic!
The HOD!!! was ushered into the 23rd year of the Haunted Hall by longtime staffer Betty Hancock, who according to the rest of the crew (and certain other haunt reviewers) inspires more fear than the monsters inside the hall. Despite having doubled the salaries of all the Hall's employees ("From zero to double zero" adds one of them), she's currently getting a razzing from the assemblage. "Hey, I'm trying to work here", says Betty. "And where else are you going to find someone whose hair color matches a red costume?" The easy camaraderie shown by the organizers goes a long way towards explaining how they are able to pull off building the event from the ground up in only three weeks-not to mention tearing it down in a single evening! It also explains why the event has managed to retain its edge for years and remain fresh with several generations working together to put on the best show possible.
The Haunted Hall has grown from its humble beginnings where it comprised only the rooms inside the main building. It now stretches across the Hall, at least four tents, a jail complex, a shed, the double sized Black Maze, and a lake. Yes, the Hall now has a real lake in its backyard, constructed out of planking, piping, and a huge liner. With the fog billowing across it in the dark, it looks so real we wish we'd brought a fishing pole. Of course, this is Camp Crystal Lake, so throwing your line in there is apt to have disastrous results. And the bridge across the lake doesn't look too sturdy, either, especially if, say, some psycho were to come out of one of the tents and begin chasing you with a chainsaw. Not that that would ever happen, y'understand. Or would it?
As our description of the magic show indicates, the Hall isn't afraid to throw in a large dose of grisly humor with its scares. This sense of mirth extends down to even the small details. Perched on a shelf inside the mirrored walls of the funhouse is a small Jack-in-the-box with a sign above it exhorting hauntgoers to 'turn if u dare'. It's something most people might not even notice since you're usually being pursued by a haunt klown at that point. But we saw it and couldn't resist. We turned it and were greeted by a little creature popping out that featured its own tiny custom makeup job. Not coincidentally, it also acted as the cue for yet another deformed greasepainted freak to come leaping out from behind a mirror.
Lots of the Hall's rooms return from year to year, like the funhouse we mentioned earlier. The same goes for Norman Bates (or is it Mother?), the Bug Room, the Executioner and his chopped-in-half victim, the Werewolf Woods, the Vortex, the Pumpking in his hall of Jack-O-Lanterns, the Vortex, Satan's Throne, and the Kreature Kage. Since they're reconfigured every season and usually placed in a different part of the haunt, they never get stale. And every year, hauntgoers still fall for their tricks. Confronted by a snarling Fangface rattling the bars of his cell, the group we were in couldn't find the way out. When the loathsome reptile slammed open his cell door, they all began to leap over the rope that delineated the walkway-not realizing the only way out was to go THROUGH the cell door. Talk about confronting your fears head on! The Hall also tends to use lighting that gives these scenes a garishly lit, 'Tales From The Crypt' comic book look-something that complements the outrageous room designs well.
And speaking of returning rooms, there's the Hall's pièce de résistance, the Black Maze. Sure, Black Mazes are used by most attractions to cut down on costs and extend their attraction's time. But the Hall's has achieved legendary status. Now twice as large (taking up two tents instead of the original one), the haunt is the ultimate reconfigured room-it's changed on a weekly basis, or even more often at the whim of the designers. With no monsters inside, you'd think it would just be a fun walk in the dark for hauntgoers, but it inspires more raw fear than anything else in the Hall. It really IS pitch black in there, and it's horrendously easy to get hopelessly lost, turned around, or cut off from your friends. Stand outside one night and watch as a group enters, only to see the two or three groups that entered after them emerge first-or witness how members of the same group emerge individually over the course of fifteen minutes. What really makes the Hall's Maze special is that there are so many textures inside-wood panels, half panels, chain link fences, even what felt like a smooth Plexiglas sheet at one point. It's hard to get a 'feel' for direction when the surfaces you're touching are continuously changing.
Dr. Crazy (well, that's what his name tag says-and since he's Matt's older brother Will, probably accurate) attempts to bring life to the dead, but he's no better at it than the Great AliKillzam is at magic. He's the ultimate mad doctor, with a crushed cigarette hanging from his mouth and mismatched eyes. Pulling back the sheet of his latest exercise in reanimation, hauntgoers are treated to the sight of a pile of bloody meat and bones. One might think he's fumbling his dialogue, but when he's corrected by the audience it turns out he just wanted to assert his authority, screaming out that "Don't correct me! I'M the Doctor here!" Since our gal Ayame is a Doctor, we hear that quite a bit, so we dropped into step REALLY fast.
At one point early in the tour panic set in for The HOD!!! as it looked like Dracula had finally been retired, ending a long run as the sole surviving representation of the classic Count in the Cincinnati area. In his old digs was a witch who had thrown an unwary child into her cauldron-only the coffin that concealed the way out remained from Drac's glory days. But after pushing our way through the rear of the casket into the Hall's last room we saw what appeared to be a familiar funeral parlor. Could it be? Yes! Relief washed over us as Dracula rushed from his hidden vantage point. To show his appreciation for our concern, the Count beat us about the head and shoulders before showing us the door. There's nothing like staying in touch with old friends.
And don't think for a moment that we've forgotten the God of haunt scaractors, the big bony cheese, the insect infested derelict corpse, the creature that is as fresh today as the day he first plopped down in front of his static filled TV…the legendary Bug Boy! The HOD!!!'s favorite haunt character has taken several wrong turns over the years in his efforts to find gainful employment, ranging from trying his hand at rapping while perched atop a police car to swindling seniors out of their welfare checks at the Tired Bones Retirement Castle in his guise as 'Bug Daddy'. He's even failed at serving up drinks at Spooker's Bar (where the Reds always win the series and don't choke like a bunch of overpaid washed-up loudmouth self-congratulatory losers with the worst manager in baseball who somehow still managed to get his contract extended by idiotic ownership-not that we're bitter about that or anything). This season he's trying his hand-not to mention an oversized pair of hedge shears-at the manly art of barbering inside the 'Handy Shears Barber Shop' (the 'infamous outdoor shed' we mentioned earlier). Unfortunately, judging from the customer seen here sitting in the barber chair (as well as a big pile of severed heads) he's sure no Floyd the Barber. His special hair tonic is decidedly red and sticky and 'taking a little off the top' starts at the neck up (we would insert a bit here about how you really don't want to tell him you want it 'long in the back', but that would be inappropriate and rude). We're fairly certain this will be another failure for the Bugster, and that he's going to have to look elsewhere for the money to pay off the exterminator we mentioned earlier.
And that's what we really love about the Hall. While it has some of the most innovative and entertaining rooms in the area, it stays firmly grounded in its traditional roots. It's old school seen through a modern filter. As the Hall's T-shirt for the season states (graced with a pile of numbered heads in front of the Handy Shears Barber Shop), "For 23 years a-head above the rest". And AliKillzam or not, still working that Haunted Hall Magic!
But Bugs-That's A Whole Different Story!

Review: Reframing the Socratic Method
Home / Article Reviews / Review: Reframing the Socratic Method
By Tonya Krause-Phelan, WMU-Cooley Law School
Reframing the Socratic Method by Jamie R. Abrams
64 JOURNAL OF LEGAL EDUCATION 562 (2015)
Reframing the Socratic Method offers a fresh idea to redesign the Socratic Method from a professor-student exercise into an exercise that fosters diverse participation and develops essential lawyering skills. Professor Abrams acknowledges that the Socratic Method, used by law schools for over a century, has become the quintessential example of question-based learning. But contrary to many modern critics of the Socratic Method, Professor Abrams does not disparage the Socratic Method or call for its elimination. Nor does she endorse it. Instead, she encourages professors to restructure the Socratic Method in three ways to ensure it aligns with current innovations and reform: make it client-focused, research-focused, and skills-sensitization focused.
First, Professor Abrams suggests that the Socratic Method should focus primarily on the client, instead of the case. Traditionally, Socratic dialogue begins by asking the student what happened in the case which causes students to think about the case abstractly. As a result, students do not consider the case from the client's point of view. Further, it does not permit students to scrutinize the decisions made by the lawyers in the case. With a few simple changes, professors can move the Socratic Method from a rule-based to a client-based task. Instead of asking students to recite the facts of the case, a client-based Socratic approach asks the student to explain what happened to the plaintiff or why the plaintiff sought counsel. These modified questions still highlight the relevant facts of the case, but they allow students to understand the facts from the client's point of view as well as to consider the attorney-client relationship.
Next, Professor Abrams recommends that instead of using the traditional Socratic Method approach to focus on case outcomes and hypothetical questions, the Socratic questions should be changed so that students use relevant legal authority to represent the client. Instead of asking a student to recite the court's holding, students should be asked what precedent, the client's lawyer would have found in preparing the client's case. These modified questions, propel students to analyze the legal authority relied upon by the court, to understand how the precedent negatively or positively affected the client, and to understand the historical and social underpinnings of the legal precedent. To further insert research-based components into the Socratic dialogue, professors could require students to apply information contained in the case footnotes or to prepare supplemental material to answer research-focused questions. This allows students to develop the ability to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a client's case.
Finally, Professor Abrams proposes that professors modify the Socratic dialogue to sensitize students to the broad range of legal skills needed to lawyer effectively. She acknowledges that this type of questioning may not be practical in every case. But when possible, the professor should ask questions that guide students to think about effective lawyering skills. These refined questions could range from what role settlement negotiations play in a client's case to understanding the relevant ethical rules used to determine who the client is and how to meet the client's objectives. Professor Abrams illustrates how reframing the Socratic Method in a commonly-taught constitutional law case, Reed v Reed, changes the dynamic of instruction from professor-student to student-propelled focus on the client, legal research, and effective lawyering skills.
Professor Abrams explains that reframing the Socratic Method achieves three benefits. First, it allows for coherence and continuity to legal education. Second, it trains practice ready lawyers because students will be better prepared to tell the clients actual answers to actual questions and they will be sensitized to how intensive legal research truly is. And third, it creates inviting and inclusive classrooms. While detailing specific examples for each type of modification she recommends, Professor Abrams illustrates how easily professors could modify the manner in which they already use the Socratic method to accomplish the current goals of innovation and reform.

Style community Polyvore released its second standalone mobile application today with the debut of Remix, an app aimed at the larger community of style enthusiasts who generally use the service not to create outfits for themselves, but to browse those created by others for inspiration. With Remix, Polyvore users can check in on what's trending on the site, get styling advice and buy any item they find, right from the app.
There's an old Internet rule that states that only a small portion of those involved in an online community will actively create new content, while most of the population just lurks. The same holds true for Polyvore, whose flagship application allows its users to build outfits from their mobile phone.
According to Polyvore COO Arnie Gullov-Singh, of Polyvore's 20 million monthly active users, the group who uses the service to actually pair clothing items, shoes and accessories together to build their own outfits is still very small. Only about 5% of the total user base are "creators," he says, which is similar to any online community based on user-generated content.
Remix, instead, is hoping to attract a larger audience by appealing to those who like to more passively participate.
That data now helps to power the outfits, and the "remixes" of those outfits, in the new app.
Remix at launch has a simple interface with just three sections: Trending, Find and My Faves.
The trending section is the main landing page for the app and features a regularly updated list of what's popular on the Polyvore site at the moment, based on things like what its users have been searching for, what they're clicking, what they're liking and more. This is the same data that feeds into Polyvore's "style graph," which is focused on understanding users' personal tastes when it comes to fashion items.
The middle section, "Find," is a shopping search engine where you can enter in products you wish to see styled, or drill down into items by category, like dresses, tops, bags, shoes, jewelry, and more. A filtering option also lets you narrow down the selection by price, brand, store, color and other factors, including whether or not the item is on sale. One big miss, however, is the ability to filter the list by size, but the company tells me that is something they already have in the works for a future release.
Finally, the "My Faves" section in the app is the collection of the items you've been saving both on mobile or on the desktop web version of Polyvore.
But what makes the app fun is the "remix" feature. That is, when you're viewing an outfit, you can tap a button to see your selected item styled in a whole new way. Alternately, you can tap on any other item in that same outfit to do the same. And, if you like the overall look but want to swap out just one part – like the top or the shoes – a carousel beneath the outfit lets you see images of other options. This part of using Remix is addictive and fun – and it could help turn Polyvore's typically less engaged users into more active participants.
As of today, the Remix app features some 4 million to 5 million "shoppable" products, the company says, which is how many are typically in stock on any given day when using Polyvore via the web. But initially, the company isn't planning to generate revenue off the sales it encourages through Remix. Instead, Polyvore is focused only on perfecting the user experience – which is also why the app at launch is in an "invite only" mode. Select Polyvore users will be allowed to test this, ahead of a broader launch.
The first 100 TechCrunch readers can get in using the invite code 032981, however.
Eventually, the company may choose to monetize the app through its ad business, which has yet to make its way to its native mobile applications. Today, only the desktop web and mobile web versions of Polyvore are generating revenue, through the company's cost per click program that operates similarly to Google Shopping. There are around 300 advertisers currently participating, and they're also interested in having their ads shown in these native mobile apps, notes Gullov-Singh.
Remix is a free download on iTunes.

So you take the soft fabric dishcloths sold just about ANYWHERE… and knit them together using simple knit stitch. How soft, and just a touch of "scrubbie". Super easy and as colorful as you want to make it (or with as many colors of dishcloth).
I checked it, it works fine on this end. Please try it again.


By now, you are probably tired of hearing me profess my undying love for all lemon and citrus related things. Obviously, when I found myself with a few lemons and a surplus of ricotta cheese (why don't I ever learn and just buy the small container?), I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Even if you're not a big fan of lemon (i.e. my husband) these muffins just have a subtle flavor. The poppy seeds give them a nice, unexpected crunch and the glaze just gives these already moist muffins an extra dose of juiciness.
These muffins aren't necessarily in the healthy category but for the occasional breakfast treat, they are perfect. Like with any sweet breakfast bread, these go well with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
To make them a bit more substantial and healthy, feel free to substitute half of the flour with whole wheat! Also, don't be afraid to go overboard with the lemon zest. If I was thinking straight, I would have added a lot more to this batch. Lesson learned.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds and salt. Make a well in the center.
In another medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, water, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and egg. Whisk together until incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Lightly coat muffin tins with cooking spray. Scoop out 1/4 C portions of batter for each muffin.
Bake for 16 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans. If desired, glaze as instructed below.
In a small bowl, mix together sugar and lemon juice until smooth and no lumps of sugar remain. Brush lightly over each muffin, once they are cool.

It's a Wonderful Town
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg who is receiving the DGA Honor for his commitment to the industry, extols the virtues of filming in the Big Apple--and dispels a few myths.
1. Filming in New York City has been on the upswing in the last few years due to production incentives, how did that come about?
As a media executive myself, I quickly recognized the enormous potential of the city's production industry. It employs 100,000 New Yorkers, contributes $5 billion to our economy each year, and supports some 4,000 local businesses. So in 2005, we set out to bring the industry back to New York—where it all began, and where it belongs—with the "Made in NY" incentive program, offering a 15 percent city-state tax credit and free advertising for qualifying films and TV shows which shoot in New York, along with discounts for the industry at more than 550 businesses across the city. Thanks to this program, the city posted nearly 32,000 location shooting days in '05—our highest number on record.
2. New York had a reputation for being a difficult place to shoot. What are some of the efforts the city has made to make it easier?
First of all, whoever said we're a tough town to shoot in clearly hasn't made a film here in a long time. I have to admit, when I first took office, film permits were still being processed on electric typewriters. But my film commissioner, Katherine Oliver, had permits online within her first 30 days on the job. We also made customer service a top priority by creating a concierge service to assist producers with all aspects of the production cycle—as we like to say, "from script to screen." And we've made delivering access to top locations a priority. For example, we shut down the roadways of the Brooklyn Bridge for eight nights for the filming of Stay, and I lobbied Secretary General Kofi Annan to help The Interpreter become the first film ever to shoot inside the United Nations. That's what we're willing to do to keep filmmakers here in New York.
3. What is your favorite film set in New York?
I love all of Mel Brooks' films, but I think it would have to be the original version of The Producers. So you can imagine what a thrill it was to stand next to Mel at Steiner Studios when he announced that the remake would be shot here, and become the first production to take advantage of the "Made in NY" program. During filming, some of the actors were taping the film by day and appearing in the Broadway musical at night. That's definitely something that could only happen in New York.
4. Filmmakers have been capturing the city on celluloid (and now digitally) for decades—what do you think makes the city so visually interesting?
Hands down, it's the people. New Yorkers themselves are the best extras you could ever find. The people, the cultures, the diversity, the festivals that you encounter on the streets of this city—there's just nothing else like it. In fact, this fall, we are publishing a book to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. Entitled Scenes From the City: Filmmaking in New York, 1966-2006, it looks back on the past four decades of location filming in New York City, and the incredible people and locations that have been captured on film.
5. What do you think has not been shown enough in New York films that directors should know about?
Our beaches, forts and castles. Everyone knows that New York is the place to shoot landmarks, skyscrapers and bustling streets, but what many filmmakers don't realize—and what I get to see every day as I travel around—is the incredible diversity in the look and feel of the city across neighborhoods and boroughs. Lately, filmmakers have been using Staten Island to shoot scenes set in suburban areas, and Scorsese's latest film, The Departed, even used New York to stand in for Massachusetts. To connect filmmakers with these lesser-known locations, earlier this year we launched Hot Shots, an online library on nyc.gov/film of city-owned properties available free of charge for production.
6. How have Tribeca and the other festivals contributed to the film culture in the city?
A tremendous amount. Particularly after September 11, the Tribeca Film Festival was there to support the city's film community. New York is actually home to more than 50 local film festivals, which are important because they showcase the work of our city's artists and bring filmmakers from around the world to the city. While they're here, we encourage them to stay and shoot their next projects here.
7. One of your big concerns as mayor has to be balancing a budget and keeping costs down—is there any advice you can give to directors?
I've got a $50 billion city budget and still have to save every penny, so I can certainly appreciate the importance of keeping costs down. My best advice is pay nothing as often as you possibly can. Here in New York, we offer free permits, free police assistance, and free access to city-owned locations. Filmmakers who can't afford to build complicated stages can shoot for free on the streets of New York—truly one of the world's great stages.
8. 9/11-themed films have been a controversial topic, do you feel it's a subject that is ready to be dramatized on film?
September 11 is a part of our city's history. There are so many important and inspiring stories from that day—concerning our brave police officers and firefighters, as well as the everyday heroes who were living and working downtown. So, on one level, I'm glad that these stories are being shared. At the same time, it is important to be mindful of the sensitivities of family members of the victims and New Yorkers who lived through that tragic day.
9. Was the city involved officially or informally in the Oliver Stone film or any other production about 9/11?
While the Oliver Stone film was shot mostly in Los Angeles, the film did shoot a few scenes, such as those at the Port Authority, in New York. In issuing permits for filming, the city looks at logistics, feasibility and safety. Obviously, subject matter is protected by the First Amendment.
10. Some people feel the communal experience of watching a movie is being replaced by home viewing. How important is it to the life of the city to be able to go out and see a movie together in a theater?
Nothing will ever replace the experience of going to the movies, laughing in the dark with complete strangers, and eating way too much popcorn—it is an essential part of our lives. Fortunately, New York City is home to dozens of local movie theaters, providing that unrivaled opportunity every day to millions. I expect my future grandchildren—and theirs—will still be enjoying it generations from now.

Імперія Великих Моголів () — держава, що з середини XVI до початку XVIII століття контролювала більшу частину Південної Азії. Панівною релігією правлячих класів держави був іслам, а культура і мова правителів були переважно перськими.

Історія
Династія правителів імперії (які носили титул падишахів, а в західній літературі іменуються імператорами) була заснована азійським завойовником Бабуром, що походив від Тимуридів з боку батька та від Чингісхана з боку матері; через це походження самі імператори називали свою династію «Великими Моголами» (тобто монголами перською мовою) або Тимуридами.

Основу політичної, економічної та територіальної могутності заклав падишах Акбар. Водночас ним була започатковано політика щодо союзу з індуською знаттю, яка незабаром стала служити при могольському дворі. За правління цього падишаха було підкорено Кандагар, Кабул, Сінд, Белуджистан, укладено союз з раджпутськими раджами, захоплено Годвану, Гуджарат, Мальву, Бенгалію й Оріссу.

Наступники — Джаханґір і Шах Джахан — продовжили політику розширення володінь імперії. На деякий час вдалося підкорити Балх і Бадахшан. Остаточно загарбані землі у Декані, Біджапур і Голконда стала васалами. При цьому завдяки торгівлі із європейськими компаніями до держави стало надходити американське золото й срібло. В цей час позитивний торговельний баланс із Європою був на боці Великих Моголів.

Найвищого піднесення імперія сягнула за володарювання Ауранґзеба. Останній захопив Біджапур і Голконду, тим самим імперія охопила майже весь Індостан. При цьому вдалося захопити гирло Гангу, впритул підійти до Бірми та Ассаму. Разом з тим за Ауранґзеба, внаслідок його релігійної нетерпимості, почалися численні повстання — сикхів, маратхів, джатів, рохіллів, раджпутів. За його спадкоємців держава дедалі більше слабшала.

Сильного удару по її престижу завдав перський правитель Надір-шах, який у 1739 році пограбував Делі. Слідом за цим північна Індія була пограбована афганцями. Зрештою на кінець XVIII ст. влада падишахів простягалася тільки в районі Доабу (міжріччя Джалумни й Гангу). Все інше перейшло під контроль маратхів, місцевих правителів та англійців.

Культура
Відзначається піднесення у різних напрямах культурного життя: поезії, прозі, живопису, архітектурі. Багато в чому тут сприяли перші падишахи.

В архітектурі дотепер історичними пам'ятками вважаються Тадж Махал в Агрі, Джаханґір Махал в Лахорі, Червоний форт в Делі. Наслідуючи володарів імперії, також зводили власні мавзолеї впливові візирі, інші сановники.

За часів імператорів Акбара, Джаханґіра, Шах Джахана, Аурангзеба розквітає література. Здебільшого вірші складалися перською, санскритом та браджом (літературним діалектом гінді). Серед відомих поетів є Абдул Рахім Хан-е-ханан, Бірбал, Файзі, Каві Бхушан, Біхарі Лал Чаубе. Талановитими поетами були деякі представники династії, зокрема Бабур, Дара Шукох, Бахадур Зафар.

У зв'язку з тривалими та запеклими війнами за трон, вторгненням перських та афганських загарбників культурний центр з Делі переміщується до Лакхнау. Відомими поетами цього періоду були Ходжа Мір Дард, Мір Такі Мір, Сауда, Назір Акбарабаді.

Малювання розвивається у вигляді мініатюри, що дістала назву могольської. Яскравими її представниками були Мір Сайїд Алі, Абд аль-Самад, Устад Мансур, Фарук Бег, Бішандас, Бхаванідас, Балчанд, Кальяндас, Говардхан, Басаван, Манохар, Біхітр, Чатура.

Så hatten passer var en serie med improvisationsteater (også kaldet teatersport), som blev sendt på DR1 1991-1992.

Gunnar Frøberg styrede spillet ved hjælp af inspirationsønsker på sedler, som publikum lagde i hans hat. Frøberg fordelte rollerne og fortalte skuespillerne, hvilken scene der skulle spilles, og hvilken genre det skulle være. Skuespillerne var Niels Olsen, Søren Østergaard, Torben Zeller, Søren Hauch-Fausbøll og Claus Bue. De improviserede og brillerede ud fra kravene om opera, socialrealisme, kærlighedsdrama osv. indtil Gunnar Frøberg fik nok og sagde "Tak!".
Holdets seneste optræden var i serien Her er dit liv og drejede sig om at hylde Niels Olsen; det blev sendt på DR1 fredag 9. november 2012.

"This is an important step on the path to justice for a man whose absurd conviction was based on the blatant misuse of terrorism provisions.
"Today's decision is a clear indication that evidence against Ahmed H was not adequately examined by the first instance court and suggests that he may have been wrongfully convicted.
"Throwing a few stones cannot seriously be equated to an act of terrorism and the retrial will provide an opportunity to ensure counter-terrorism laws stop being misused in such a way.
For this, a Hungarian court found him guilty of an "act of terror", under Hungary's extremely vague counter-terrorism laws, and sentenced him to 10 years in prison.

Minister Doherty welcomes fall in numbers on Live Register
The figure for November 2018 is the lowest number recorded in the seasonally adjusted series since May 2008
Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty, T.D., has welcomed the latest Live Register figures which were published today by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). They show that the Live Register figure now stands at 196,261 people.
This represents a year on year decrease of 15.8% since November 2017, a decrease of 28.2% since November 2016 and a month-on-month fall of 1.5% compared with October 2018.
On a seasonally adjusted basis the Live Register total recorded a monthly decrease of 3,100 people (-1.5%) in November 2018, bringing the seasonally adjusted total to 207,200. The number of people on the seasonally adjusted Live Register in November 2018 is also the lowest number recorded since May 2008.
Minister Doherty commented:
"Today's CSO report on the Live Register is a very positive and welcome one. Today's figure represents the lowest number of people on the Live Register recorded since May 2008.
Three out of five people on the Live Register today are classified as short term claimants. With regard to long term claimants – people on the Live Register for one year or more – I am particularly pleased to see that there has been an overall annual decrease of just over 18% of long-term claimants on the register, reflecting the impressive recovery in the working environment.
Many of those who have left the Live Register and returned to work will have been helped to do so by the supports from my Department and the buoyant economy created by current government policies. My priority now is to deliver the necessary supports and innovations to guarantee that everyone has a fair chance to get work as more and more jobs become available."
Note to editors:
The following are some examples of the assistance and support provided by the Department to jobseekers and employers:
The Youth Employment Support Scheme (YESS)
Minister Doherty launched the Department's new YESS scheme on 24 September 2018. YESS is a new work experience scheme targeted exclusively at young jobseekers, aged 18 to 24, who are either long-term unemployed or face significant barriers to employment.
JobsIreland.ie
JobsIreland.ie is the Department's national recruitment website. The service is administered by Department staff and provides a free online vacancy advertising and candidate matching service for employers who wish to advertise job vacancies, apprenticeships and community employment (CE) schemes. YESS vacancies can now also be advertised on JobsIreland.ie. The service is available to all employers irrespective of size or industry sector. To date in 2018, 77,441 positions have been advertised. For candidates JobsIreland.ie provides the opportunity to register and search for all the latest jobs in the market place. JobsIreland.ie lets candidates create an online CV and then notifies them automatically of vacancies that match their profile.
JobsPlus
JobsPlus, which was introduced in July 2013, provides a direct monthly financial incentive to employers who offer full-time employment opportunities to long-term unemployed people. The scheme was further enhanced from 1 January 2018 to support workers aged 50 or over. Almost 16,700 payments have been made through the scheme in 2017 and 2018 (to November).
Jobs Fairs
Additionally, the Department hosts numerous Jobs Fairs and events throughout the year, with our annual Jobs Week a particular focus. For Jobs Week 2017, the Department organised and hosted 100 events in every region, which brought 400 employers and 16,000 jobseekers together. Jobs Week 2018 saw 134 events, with 450 employers and 14,500 jobseekers attending. The Department also co-hosts a number of events with EURES, the European Recruitment Service – from the start of 2017 to date in 2018 there have been three on-site and five online EURES Jobs Fairs. The Department will continue to focus on working with employers throughout the country to ensure that jobseekers can avail of the many jobs that are being created every week by employers.
Community Employment and TÚS schemes
In addition the Department continues to provide valuable work experience for those who are long-term unemployed through the community employment and TUS schemes. These schemes also provide important local services in towns and villages throughout the country. At present there are approximately 28,000 participants on these schemes who are benefitting from work experience and training.

Central America: the double dilemma of aid – 29/01/2021 – World
Central America is at a breaking point.
The region is faced with a multiplicity of crises which make it even more vulnerable, despite the extreme fragility it has known for three decades.
The pandemic has increased inequalities as well as poverty and extreme poverty (from 33.7% to 40.2% in Nicaragua and from 7.4% to 11.9% in El Salvador, respectively) and exacerbated structural weakness national economies.
According to a report by the Executive Secretariat of ECLAC, regional GDP contracted by 6.2% in 2020. Historically, the structural realities of socio-economic inequalities have coincided with fragile and even collapsing states. and produced high levels of violence.
In this context, a different issue has emerged on the agenda: proof of the climate emergency in Central America. With two hurricanes, Eta (November 13-14) and Iota (November 17-18), the region is feeling the effects of climate change.
However, support for reconstruction is again debated and aid to the region presents itself as a political and moral dilemma.
This reflection is based on two aspects: the promise of renewed attention from the new American administration, with the alliance plan for the prosperity of the northern triangle redesigned, and the arrival of international aid after hurricanes Eta and Iota.
Why a political dilemma?
In 1998, Central America was severely affected by Hurricane Mitch.
It was a first manifestation of the devastation that such climatic events could engender in the face of the inability (to protect and rebuild) and the lack of preparedness (to anticipate) States in the face of climate risks.
Even so, the problem of the limits of the Central American states in terms of regulation and fulfillment of their sovereign duty already arose.
At that time, the region was inundated with funds for international cooperation, in particular through the Madrid Group, which helped shape a "Modernization and Transformation Agenda for the 21st Century", the objectives of which were to strengthen the capacities of States.
After more than 20 years, what have been the results? Non-existent or insufficiently developed capacities; to co-opt and capture external cooperation funds; massive corruption.
In the period following Hurricane Mitch, the Nicaraguan case was emblematic, due to the embezzlement of millions of dollars.
Currently, there is a feeling of "déjà vu". Faced with the impacts of hurricanes Eta and Iota, pledges of aid have multiplied: the IDB with $ 1.2 million; the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with $ 750,000 and USAID with $ 17 million, among others.
The implementation of this assistance after the disaster again raises the question of the capacity of States to implement it.
It is in this context that Joe Biden's project is presented, which consists of reactivating the plan created in 2014 to strengthen governance in the region with a contribution of US $ 1 billion, which was canceled under the administration of Donald Trump in early 2017.
Biden's future plan is to reactivate the United States' commitment to Central America with a $ 4 billion program for migration, security, rule of law, corruption and development against poverty.
However, both reconstruction aid and American cooperation are taking place in a context of extremely high institutional fragility, intensified by the economic, social and health crises. Democracies have been further weakened by severe cases of corruption and strong political and institutional instability.
In these contexts, there is a risk of diversion, co-option or capture of resources. In fact, when Biden says "the challenges ahead are great." "But if there is political will, there is no reason why Central America cannot become the next great achievement in the Western Hemisphere," he says, suggesting a long series of challenges.
Will the post-Mitch effects be reproduced in Central America?
Since 1998, climate threats have intensified and are diagnosed as irreversible. In this context, the Isthmus of Central America is one of the most vulnerable regions on the planet. The political dilemma has become a moral one.
After the passage of two hurricanes, a bleak future approaches the region.
Climate change will intensify events such as floods, droughts, hurricanes and storms, with immediate consequences such as landslides, windstorms, destruction of homes, displacement, etc.
And Central America will face a wide variety of natural seismic threats, earthquake episodes, extreme weather events, sea level rise.
In view of the disasters that have occurred and especially the limited capacity of States, the question of aid distribution must be posed in new terms.
How long will the idea remain that populations and territories threatened by climate change can be approached with international aid?
At the global level, the legitimacy of States is called into question because they do not have an adequate structure to deal with phenomena of transnational scope.
In Central America, there are also very vulnerable societies and delegitimized and ruined states, with the exception of Costa Rica and Panama.
Central America – particularly the countries of the Northern Triangle – is a region of outgoing human flows, and this will intensify with successive climatic catastrophes that will turn parts of its territory into inhospitable areas.
The foreign policy of the new Biden administration and the reactivation of aid to the region, as well as the rest of the international aid injected into regions suffering from natural disasters, invites reflection to avoid repeating mistakes.
In addition, the nature of the aid itself needs to be reassessed so as not to continue to apply corrective measures instead of addressing structural causes.
This double dilemma leads us to reflect on the adaptation and extension of human consequences in the medium and long term, as well as on the plurality and heterogeneity of the actors who can intervene, beyond the State.
Faced with this scenario, it is necessary to take into account new modes of governance, particularly regional and multilateral.
On December 12 of last year, a new Climate Action Summit was held, during which the strengthening of cooperation between the Isthmus States, the consolidation of regional technical institutions and the challenge of great integration of the region into multilateral diplomatic arenas. .
In short, these are some of the major challenges facing Central America in the 21st century.

Q: How to check if a value in dataframe satisfies a condition based on all or last few values in the column and replace it? I want to check if the value in my dataframe is greater than 1.5 times the median of all previous values (or last 10 previous values) and replace it with the median of all previous values (or last 10 previous values). I have a huge dataset so i dont want to use loops.
  df
Out[315]:
      a
0  15.0
1  16.0
2  13.5
3  14.6
4  15.0
5  26.0
6  12.0
7  28.0
8  12.0
9  29.0

i want the 26 to be replaced by median of previous values and so on. Once the value is replaced, i want the new value to be considered for calculating the median the next time. Here is what i  have tried:(for simplicity i have taken a condition of >20 and mean of past 2 values). Actually, i want the condition to compare the value to 1.5*median of previous 10 values and if greater, then replace it with the median of previous 10 values and the new value to be used next time the median is calculated.
df["b"] = df["a"]
df['b'] = np.where(df["b"]>20, df['b'].rolling(2).mean(), df["b"])
    df
Out[88]:
      a     b
0  11.0  11.0
1  16.0  16.0
2  13.5  13.5
3  14.6  14.6
4  15.0  15.0
5  26.0  14.8
6  12.0  12.0
7  28.0  19.0
8  12.0  12.0
9  29.0  20.0

Here the replaced values are not getting used to caluclate the median next time. for eg. last value in df["b"] is 20 which is a mean of 28 and 12. But i want the value to be mean of 19 and 12  because 19 is the replaced value.

A: You can use rolling with window of 10 and min_periods as 1 and get median. Shifting the values as just the median of previous values has to be considered
temp = df['a'].rolling(10, min_periods=1).median().shift(1)

0   NaN
1    15.0
2    15.5
3    15.0
4    14.8
5    15.0
6    15.0
7    15.0
8    15.0
9    15.0

If val is greater than 1.5 times median, replacing the value. df['a'] > 1.5 * temp will be boolean index for where this condition holds
df.loc[df['a'] > 1.5 * temp, 'a'] = temp
df

    a
0   15.0
1   16.0
2   13.5
3   14.6
4   15.0
5   15.0
6   12.0
7   15.0
8   12.0
9   15.0
