A dozen children streamed from a school bus and made a beeline directly for a building a few hundred feet away. One by one, they pulled open the heavy front door, darted inside and reached for a tray sitting on a counter. A second later, they were skipping back outside, their cheeks full of chocolate and their finger tips smudged with the evidence. This routine seemed well-practiced as each child knew exactly what to look forward to at the Lake Champlain Chocolate factory. Each day, Lake Champlain Chocolates sets aside bite-sized treats for kids to pick up on their way home from school and the activity has become something of a tradition.
In 1983, Jim Lampman opened the doors to Burlington's soon to be favorite chocolate factory. Jim's love for chocolate started at a young age when his grandmother served chocolate cake for breakfast. Her philosophy was that chocolate tasted best in the morning when one's taste buds were most sensitive. When Jim was 15, he took a job working at Country Kettle Fudge shop on the Jersey Shore. There he learned about the magic of chocolate. For a while after that, Jim managed the Ice House Restaurant in Burlington and his only connection with chocolate was buying fancy truffles for his staff every holiday season. One year, his pastry chef proclaimed he could make better chocolates. Jim challenged the chef to his claim and the next day, he was tasting smooth, creamy hand-rolled truffles that were above and beyond anything he had experienced before. By the next Christmas, the restaurant had closed and Lake Champlain Chocolates was born.
Now, anyone who walks into the factory or orders online can sample dark chocolate truffles filled with raspberry ganache, dark french roast coffee, citrus, and dark chocolate filling. Viewing windows and boxes overflow with milk chocolate truffles filled with hazelnut, fresh vanilla, and cappuccino. The Chocolates of Vermont collection instantly wins the hearts of those who crave honey caramel, evergreen mint, almonds and currants, and maple crunch flavors. Each chocolate of Vermont is molded into a beautiful illustration of evergreens, mountains, maple leaves or beehives. Sea salt caramels, chocolate dusted almonds, peanut butter creations, toffees, dark chocolate almond bark, spicy chocolates, hot chocolate and a vast assortment of chocolate bars are also available throughout the year. There is also the Chocolate of the Month Club that sends different collections of chocolates to your door once a month.
Cacao (ka-cow) is the term for a raw bean.
Cocoa (co-co) is the term for the bean after it has been roasted and processed into butter, powder, liquor or nibs.
With all of its programs, initiatives and devotion to making outstanding chocolate, Lake Champlain Chocolates has certainly drawn a crowd. Apart from school children stopping by for an afternoon treat, adults have gathered in the evenings to learn about local chefs and culinary creations, families have stopped by on the weekends to craft their own signature chocolate bar, lovers have surprised each other with fresh truffles, co-workers have impressed their partners with lunch hour factory tours, and sustainability groups have applauded LLC's efforts to become fair trade certified and positively impact communities across the world. Lake Champlain Chocolates has not only demonstrated that chocolate can be made sustainably, it has proven that chocolate can make a difference.
With dozens of tempting chocolates to choose from and a Fair for Life certification, Lake Champlain Chocolates guarantees that every bite is fair trade certified. All ingredients that can be grown in Vermont are sourced from small organic farms in Vermont. LCC is also working to fund a World Cocoa Foundation Scholarship that is designed to empower women and educate youth on the Ivory Coast.
Factory tours are offered every day and include a special viewing of the factory floor, a demonstration on the chocolate-making process and a sample at the end. Arrive on a Saturday and enjoy a free chocolate tasting seminar.
On one side of South End Kitchen, visitors can watch how sustainably-produced, authentic chocolate bars are made from behind a glass wall; from sorting and roasting raw beans to pouring liquid chocolate into molds and wrapping each bar in paper, the entire process is completely transparent and available for all to view. Blue Bandana began as a dream thought up by Erik Lampman in 2012. Lampman wanted to make the best chocolate bar possible and so he set out to Guatemala to learn from the best. The first group of bean farmers he found was the Fundalachua, a group devoted to evaluating and improving tree selections and fermentation processes. It wasn't long before Lampman discovered more small farming associations in Laguna Lachua National Park in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala as well as Madagascar. After two years, Blue Bandana was buying six metric tons of cacao beans. In 2014, Blue Bandana won a Good Food Award for its Madagascar Wild Pepper 70% and Madagascar 70% Dark Chocolate bar.
South End Kitchen's Cafe is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snacks and even dinner a few nights a week. Enjoy a gourmet egg sandwich, a stack of pancakes with Tanzanian chocolate sauce or huevos rancheros. Cravings for macaroni and cheese, vibrant salads and burgers are also satisfied on a regular basis, as well as cravings for all things chocolate.
Join a small class of adventurous individuals and learn what it takes to make your own signature chocolate bar. This is a great activity for children and adults alike. Weekly classes are available upon registration.
Chef Dinners are an exciting series where local chefs are brought in from nearby towns and asked to cook an entire meal in front of a small audience. The Chef explains what she or he is doing and why. Each dish is paired with a wine and the wine producer is present to explain why the pairings were chosen. The vegetable farmers are also present to explain how everything was grown, what sustainable steps were taken to grow them, and what kinds of challenges arise when growing organic produce. Each guest describes what it is like to work together to come up with interesting dishes and to grow things in new ways.
Step 1: Smell the chocolate. Does it smell sweet or earthy? Are there hints of other ingredients such as citrus, peanut or caramel? What does it make you think of?
Step 2: Break the piece in half; it should have a really good snap to it.
Step 3: Bite into the chocolate and let it melt in your mouth a little.
Step 4: Swallow slowly and let it coat your tongue. What flavor does the chocolate have? Can you tell how concentrated it is, what percentage of dark chocolate it has in it? Does it taste different than it smelled?
Step 5: Study the aftertaste. See what flavors linger. Does the sweet rich flavor of cream from the milk chocolate linger or does the hint of orange or spice dominate the palate? What flavor does 70% dark chocolate leave behind?


"Is a hand surgery consultation needed for a broken hand?"
Zocdoc›Answers›Is a hand surgery consultation needed for a broken hand?
I thought theyd just put my hand in a cast. Why would I need surgery?
Anytime you fracture a bone near a joint or near an important structures such as the hand, you should always see a specialist to make sure that it will heal correctly, and to make sure that you do not need surgery. This goes for just about any hand fracture I can think of. While you are correct that most hand fractures do not require surgery, the hand surgeon will still be able to treat your fracture in the best way possible even if that is without surgery. I suggest that you schedule that appointment with the hand surgeon sooner than later. This is because you want to make sure that he or she sees all the available imaging (x-rays, etc) before the hand begins to heal. If no surgery is needed, then you may only need the one consultation in order to make sure that you have the right brace or cast. If the fracture was severe, or near a joint, then you may need a second consultation in several weeks to make sure that your hand is healing properly. This may require additional x-rays done down the road after the cast is removed. Finally, after the cast is off and your consultation with the hand surgeon done, you may need a short course of physical, or occupational therapy to get your hand working properly again. Good luck.

Web design trends change at the speed of thought. New programming languages emerge each and every year. This will only continue as the Internet continues to grow at a lightning-quick rate, growing to surpass 4 billion users at the end of 2017.
Regardless of the shifting tides of tech trends, CSS is still wildly useful for web designers and programmers. 95.7% of websites still use some form of CSS while 89.4% rely on external CSS for their web design.
To help you learn to make the most of your cascading style sheets, here are 11 CSS tricks to make your web design pop and sizzle!
CSS has been around since 1994. It was invented to help tame the Wild West of the early Internet into something more cohesive. The jungle wilderness of anything-goes HTML programming was eventually tamed into a pleasure garden, thanks to CSS.
Unfortunately, CSS may have been a little too effective in its goals. Almost every website is built using style sheets, often with very little creativity. This means they look and behave almost identically to one another.
That's not what you want to strive for when building your digital presence.
Continue reading to learn how these CSS tricks can remove busy work from your life, while making your digital assets more beautiful and efficient in the meantime.
Multicolor graphics have been trending in web design in the last few years after making a big splash on sites like Spotify. Now you can finally stop making multiple versions of your graphics in multiple colors thanks to the CSS blend mode.
CSS blend mode adjusts your digital assets' coloration entirely in-browser. Not only does this avoid repetitive tasks, it also enhances a cohesive brand identity across all of your digital domains.
There are a total of 15 different commands to alter the color of your web design elements. These include lighten, darken, screen, and overlay. These commands may be combined in a variety of innovative and creative ways.
There is also a 'mix-blend-mode' function which lets you combine a graphic with its parent. This is an easy way to create attractive 3D style visual effects.
File compression might not sound as exciting as more trending topics like Ruby on Rails or PhP. The increase in web traffic and user experience will be a cause for celebration, however. Page load time is increasingly important to your search engine ranking.
Manually aligning elements on your webpage is kind of a nightmare. Not only is it a pain, there's also no telling if it will actually work.
Luckily, the 'align-vertical' function aligns visual elements on your site with pre-set markers. It's a cool CSS trick that's easy to implement that pay offs major dividends in making your site look its best!
Much like margins, using HTML to center text or graphics can be a royal pain. It's also counterproductive, as there's no guarantee your manually formatted web elements will be optimized for mobile or multiple devices.
One of CSS' greatest strengths is its ability to present visual elements in an elegant, creative way. We've all seen the same custom HTML layouts over and over. CSS is a simple, striking way to present your visual media in a new and creative way.
Clipping defines the boundaries of a visual element. You're not limited to linear shapes, either. Think of the circle frames commonly used for profiles as an example of how clipping can be used creatively.
The boundary of the shape is known as the 'clip path.' You're not limited to circles, either. You can use shape functions to create custom clip paths, to display your visuals however you want.
To truly get creative, you can animate your shapes to create evolving frames.
This CSS trick doesn't sound that exciting, but it's absolutely necessary for writing good, clean code. It's also a good practice to stay in if there's multiple people working on your site's code.
Not only is using CSS shorthand useful for organization's sake, it's also an important function of your website's performance. If a browser has to call each individual function, it could put a lag on your page load time. This will have a negative effect on your SERP ranking.
Remember to include as many CSS style commands as possible into each line of code.
Read more about coding a website over here.
With CSS, you aren't limited to square or rectangular shapes. Even simple derivations from your average box-riddled web design will make website pop and stand out.
Use the CSS functions 'shape-inside' and 'shape-outside' to present your visual elements in creative and striking ways.
Not all of our CSS tricks seem flashy or exciting at first glance. They can be used to create truly eye-popping web design, nonetheless.
The < table > command, in HTML, is useful but clunky. It locks your elements into individual cells and there's no guarantee it'll format well across multiple devices.
The < div > command lets you endlessly customize your every style element of your website, however. You can use < div > to do pretty much anything < table > can do, and much more.
Here's another quick tip that seems simple but is actually incredibly useful. CSS' built-in debugging tools makes your web design and development much more streamlined and efficient, without having to open a separate editor.
Not only does CSS' debugging tools save you time and energy, it also gives you real-time feedback on your code. It'll save you endless headaches, making sure all of your variables are defined and all of your functions have the proper syntax.
CSS' debugging tools make you the best possible programmer, as quickly as possible.
All things old become new again if you just wait long enough. After a few decades of flawless, nearly-sterile web design, we're starting to hunger for some imperfection in our digital assets. Interesting is better than perfect, at this point.
To take advantage of this trend, use CSS to bend, tweak, and twist your visuals. Play with perspective or use CSS' built in 'skew' function to make your text funkier.
You can read more about funk-ifying your web design from Captain Anonymous' CodePen.
Collage has been trending, in recent years, for similar reasons to the Glitch aesthetics we just mentioned. Even major corporations like MailChimp are taking advantage of the collage aesthetic to make their software more approachable and homespun.
Collage is also a simple way to show multiple images in one place at one time.
One simple way to achieve a collage effect is to combine your images in a graphics editor like Photoshop and then rasterize the layers.
It's possible to use CSS' built-in functions to produce collages, however. These web designs can be made scalable, interactive, and scalable as well. It's a web designer's dream come true!
If you'd like to learn more about web design, check out these tips today!
Running your own website is both exciting and intimidating. The opportunities it opens up to you are unparalleled, unimaginable at any other time in history. The additional responsibilities, knowledge, and skill it takes though can make even hardened digital entrepreneurs shut down, however.
If you're hoping to thrive in digital business, you need to work smart and hard. CSS tricks like the ones we've mentioned will make your work more efficient. It'll also make your audience have a much more enjoyable and consistent experience.
It's a win-win situation, that's also quite fun once you get into it!

Hectic Planet: The Bummer Trilogy
This one-shot collects three love stories, previously printed in Dark Horse Presents #118-120: "5 Years and Counting", "Shot on Goal", and "Love You Madly, Elsie; or, Scumbag of Oz". They're modern takes on romance conventions. The stories turn on promising to meet five years after a separation; locking eyes with a mysterious stranger across a crowded dance floor; or finding an ex-boyfriend's gift and trying to get back in touch with him.
As expected, the art is the usual Evan Dorkin style: dense, highly delineated with heavy black lines, confident, with panels crowded with both art and text. The characters are very expressive, overreacting just a bit to show you how strongly they're feeling everything. Consideration was obviously paid to hair, clothes, and faces to establish a wide variety of characters, including aliens and robots. These glimpses of different technology give a slight science fiction feel, but the stories themselves are timeless.
The stories all end with creative twists, avoiding the obvious and bringing new insight to the situations. I wasn't familiar with the characters or the Hectic Planet/Pirate Corp$ series before reading this, but the stories still worked well, since everything I needed to know was established in them. Love doesn't mean being happy — as you might guess from the title, things don't work out well for the characters — but I was impressed by the way the stories don't descend into cynicism. There's still hope, and there are lots of different kinds of love.
The characters previously appeared in three volumes:
Dim Future collects Pirate Corp$! #1-4
Checkered Past collects Pirate Corp$! Volume 2 #1-4 and Special
The Young and the Reckless collects Hectic Planet #5-6 and Vroom Socko: Paid in Full
and the stories there take a different tack. They're comedy adventures in a science fiction setting about a group of smugglers who run from bounty hunters while listening to ska music. They're obviously early work from Dorkin, and over the run of the series the reader can watch his current style and skill develop.

Top U.S. Treasury official to warn UAE, Turkey over sanctions evasion
Bristol Myers boosts cancer drug portfolio with $4.1 billion Turning Point deal

TPTX
By Manas Mishra and Amruta Khandekar
(Reuters) -Bristol Myers Squibb Co said on Friday it will acquire drug developer Turning Point Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TPTX) Inc for $4.1 billion in cash to help bolster its arsenal of cancer drugs.
Turning Point's lead drug, repotrectinib, targets mutations in certain proteins in the body that lead to unchecked cell growth.
Bristol Myers (NYSE:BMY) will pay $76 per Turning Point share, a 122.5% premium to its last closing price.
The deal comes at a time when a dearth of large acquisitions, clinical failures and investor exits following a gradual easing of the pandemic have hammered biotech stocks.
Wall Street analysts said the deal could help lift sector sentiment.
The deal "will surprise many investors who over the past year have begun to believe late-to-market targeted oncology drugs are likely to be commercial failures," Stifel analyst Bradley Canino said.
Turning Point's shares, which have fallen roughly 28% this year, more than doubled to $73.60 in early trading.
Repotrectinib belongs to a class of treatments known as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and is being tested to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other advanced solid tumors.
However, the drug, if approved, will compete in a crowded market for lung cancer treatments and contend for market share with Bristol Myers' own drug Opdivo, and other cancer drugs made by Roche, Merck & Co Inc and AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN).
Bristol Myers said it expects repotrectinib to become a standard-of-care therapy for certain patients with NSCLC, a lucrative market for drug developers, when it is approved.
Sales of Bristol Myers' Opdivo have fallen below those of rival Merck's blockbuster treatment, Keytruda.
Bristol Myers expects U.S. approval for repotrectinib in the second half of 2023.

Margaret Willes, who has organised four Archive Evenings, excelled herself with this year's evening which had a waiting list and 202 attendees.
Our thanks go to the Guildhall Library for the loan of material which combined with the Stationers' Company items made a fascinating exhibition.
The lecture started with a light-hearted look at who was William Shakespeare, using portraits to compare the different images given by Peter Ross, Principal Librarian of the Guildhall Library.
Abigail Riokison-Woodall followed with a fascinating look at Shakespeare's work both as an actress and an academician.
The evening was co-chaired by Margaret Willes and Professor Brian Cummings.
We need to give our special thanks to Margaret who is now standing down as organiser of the Archive Evenings.

My family founded Barneys. Now the great department store is closing.
Saying goodbye to the store that was always out of my reach.
By Maris Kreizman Feb 5, 2020, 8:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: My family founded Barneys. Now the great department store is closing.
I've always been a bargain shopper. When I moved to New York in 2000 I discovered H&M. At the time, fast fashion didn't mean sweatshop labor and climate damage — it meant that I could find a brand-new sensible office dress for $14.99 and still have enough money to pay for groceries. I thought my penchant for cheap clothing was temporary, that sometime in my 30s, after a decade of working in the corporate world, a switch would flip and suddenly the clothing I saw in fashion magazines would become available to me like a birthright. It hasn't happened yet.
I do have one great piece of personal trivia that has allowed me to dream big retail dreams, one that I pull out at parties to impress a certain kind of New Yorker. My great-great-uncle — my grandmother's uncle — was Barney Pressman, the Lower East Side haberdasher who founded the legendary New York department store, Barneys. My great-great-uncle opened his eponymous men's clothing store in 1923 at 7th Avenue and 17th Street in Chelsea, and over the next decades of the 20th century it would evolve into a worldwide fashion destination.
Barneys was a particular kind of rags-to-riches success story, one that I'll call the Jewish American Dream. You start out selling schmattas (Yiddish for rags) and end up the scion of an elite family business that over three generations becomes a cultural institution that even WASPs admire enviously. That the company is now bankrupt and being liquidated by a blur of corporations and hedge funds and financial firms only makes the rise before Barneys' downfall all the more remarkable.
Even as I watched the company flounder from afar, Barneys always stood for the kind of glamour I coveted but could never attain. In its heyday, Barneys was, according to New York Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman, "unabashedly elitist, proudly exclusionary — you got it or you didn't, and if you didn't, that was your problem, not theirs — and imbued with an arrogance that, at a certain point, began to chafe." Who shopped at Barneys? All of the important fashionistas, including the ones on TV: the ladies of Sex and the City, the ladies of Gossip Girl, the cast of Mad Men.
That's how I wanted to be! That relatives of mine could be such utter snobs is a triumph I could only dream of emulating. Like a Jewish Pygmalion, Barneys had lost its Yiddishisms and grown into an elegant, cultural force. Which is why watching Barneys disappear from the public eye feels like an enormous loss even though I could never, not even once, afford to shop there myself.
The women of Sex and the City were constantly popping in and out of Barneys.

Early in his career, my great-great-uncle was known as the "Cut-Rate Clothing King," which is yet another way I know that paying full retail price isn't in my DNA. Barneys initially made its fortune by selling brand-name men's clothing at heavily discounted prices and focusing on innovative advertising, like a "Calling All Men to Barneys" spot in the style of the Dick Tracy radio show. Legend has it that Barney pawned his wife's wedding ring in order to open the store in Chelsea. The store's motto at the time was a pure tribute to his Lower East Side roots: "No bunk, no junk, no imitations."
My great-grandfather, Samuel Pressman, was Barney's brother. When Barney opened the store on 17th Street, Samuel worked there too. Samuel's Hebrew name was Tomkin Schmuel, so at the store everyone called him Tommy. My mother grew up going from her home in Jersey City to Chelsea to call on her grandfather whenever a man in the family needed a suit. She remembers that, as a child, the store seemed much less intimidating than uptown department stores like Saks.
"When I walked into that store," she told me, "I had an enormous sense of pride that family started a big business in New York, with my great-uncle's name in big bold letters above the door. I was treated like a little princess by my relatives who worked there and their associates."
In the 1960s, Barney's son Fred started to take the store in an entirely new, decidedly more upscale direction. Fred is credited with bringing Giorgio Armani's tailoring to Americans in the 1970s. He also initiated the opening of a women's store at Barneys, which his son, Gene, is credited with building into a nexus for luxury and unique fashions. The store where my mom had played with the three-way mirrors in the free alterations area was changing quickly.
By the time I started to visit the store in the 1980s, Barneys wasn't just lavish in a Wall Street "greed is good" kind of way; it was also cool. In 1986, the same year my whole family made the trip into Manhattan to find bar mitzvah suits for my older brothers, Simon Doonan was hired as the window dresser at Barneys, beginning his career of making eccentric, over-the-top creations that made pedestrians stop and gawk.
1986 was also when upstart models Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista were featured in Barneys ads, and that November the store hosted Decorated Denim, an auction in which Barneys had artists modify Levi's denim jackets and sold them to benefit AIDS research. Models included Madonna and Iman wearing denim that had been embellished by Paloma Picasso, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol (Warhol had also modeled for print ads for the store in 1982). If retail stores had IQs, then Barneys was a certified genius.

I have no memories of such lavishness at the store in the 1980s, although 7-year-old me is still mad that she missed Madonna. Barneys may have become a destination of clothing that functioned as art, but for the most part it had nothing to hold the interest of a little girl from suburban New Jersey. We still primarily used Barneys as a place to buy men's suits. At the time, we had a 15-percent-off family discount. That got us just about nowhere back then, and it was fine when the family discount expired, because 15 percent off of increasingly unaffordable clothes is still unaffordable.
I want to tell you about how I remember Barneys in its early glory days, all avant-garde charm and quirky excess, but my strongest memory of going with my family as a child had nothing to do with the store: It was the grilled cheese I'd get at the diner next door, whose name has been lost to time. Later, I would read about power lunches that big shots had at Freds, the restaurant named after Barney's son, and I'm sure the salade Nicoise is great but nothing was better than that diner grilled cheese.
The store continued to grow in cultural cachet in the 1990s. Barney's grandchildren, my very distant cousins I admire but have never met, were running the store at the time and adding their own personal touches. In a November 2019 article in Vogue, Steff Yotka writes, "More than just a place to discover Rick Owens leather jackets and Proenza Schouler bustiers, Barneys acted as a connective tissue in the New York creative scene. It was where in-the-know people went to shop ... more upscale, whimsical, and international." The store carried unique products that patrons came from all over the world to purchase, with exclusive deals with designers from Christian Louboutin and Azzedine Alaïa to Proenza Schouler, a brand I have only ever shopped when it made a special line for Target.
We had mostly stopped going to the store by the 1990s, when Barneys began to expand throughout the country and internationally. In 1993, Gene and Bob Pressman (Barney's grandchildren) spent approximately $185 million on a new flagship store on Madison Avenue and 61st Street, and just a few years later the store in Chelsea closed. Meanwhile, the enormous expansion (new stores opened everywhere from Houston to Tokyo) weighed on the finances of the privately held company, and the family lost control of Barneys after its first bankruptcy filing in 1996. They sold their remaining interest in the company in 2004 even as the uptown location continued to thrive.
In 2007, I moved to a 500-square-foot studio apartment in Chelsea not too far from the old Barneys store. The space had become a Loehmann's, a luxury discount store that suited my needs perfectly. I would spend hours in bad lighting picking through racks for $40 dresses the same way I imagined other, more elegant women would rummage through cardboard boxes at Barneys' famous warehouse sale to find $800 designer sweaters discounted to $500. I would try on my findings in the shabby Loehmann's communal dressing rooms, where women of all shapes and sizes and backgrounds competed for mirror space, and I would delight in getting a Loehmann's receipt that would show me exactly how much money I'd saved off the retail price. By the time Barneys returned to its old Chelsea space for a short run starting in 2016, I was too busy mourning the loss of Loehmann's to be excited about the homecoming.
As the years went on, Barneys lost some of its charm. Its ownership had changed hands several times from retail corporations to hedge funds, which watered down its identity. According to the New York Times, a 2010 renovation made Barneys look more like its rivals, "as fish tanks and mosaics were swapped out for generic marble." Gross! In August 2019, Barneys filed for bankruptcy for the second time and was sold off for parts. The financial firm B. Riley Financial held a liquidation sale at Barneys at the end of that year, and what remains of the store is a motley collection of leftovers and EVERYTHING MUST GO signs. As recently as January 16, the New York Times reported that since November, "employees at Barneys's flagship at Madison Avenue have been in limbo, lacking basic information about the store's closing date, severance pay and their benefits." The welfare of the salesforce that used to be revered for its personalization and panache is now seemingly an afterthought.
I'm in my 40s and freelancing, and that magical shopping switch never flipped for me. I buy on consignment; I won't even look at a piece of Banana Republic clothing unless it's at least 40 percent off. Now, during the liquidation process, the Barneys brand has been licensed to Saks, and so I took a quick look on the Barneys at Saks website to see how the family legacy would continue on: Balenciaga dad sneakers for $995, a Prada gym bag for $1,520, and a Saint Laurent varsity jacket for $2,550. Alas, my Jewish American Dream is more modest: to live in a city where workers get paid, where mom-and-pop stores stick around, and where you can feel like a million bucks even if your wardrobe comes from the Nordstrom Rack.

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Mike Glyer
(1) Here are three science fiction and fantasy birthdays to celebrate on September 25.
Born 1951: Mark Hamill
Born 1930: Shel Silverstein
Born 1952: Christopher Reeve
(2) Plans are afoot to launch a San Juan in 2017 NASFiC bid at DeepSouthCon, which will be held next weekend. Source: committee member Warren Buff, who is working on the facilities. The website is mostly private at the moment.
(3) "NASA to Announce Mars Mystery Solved" on September 28, promises the press release.
NASA will detail a major science finding from the agency's ongoing exploration of Mars during a news briefing at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 28 at the James Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's website.
Taking part in the news conference will be Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA Headquarters; Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters; graduate student Lujendra Ojha of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta; Mary Beth Wilhelm of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California and the Georgia Institute of Technology; and Alfred McEwen, principal investigator for the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
I don't see Mark Watney's name in there anywhere…
(4) On April 7, 2016, LASFS will welcome Hugo, Nebula, and Aurora winning author Robert J. Sawyer who will read from his new novel, Quantum Night. The book will be published by Ace Books on March 1. Kudos to President Matthew B. Tepper for lining up the engagement.
(5) Today in History
September 25, 1959 Hammer Films' take on The Mummy premieres in England.
(6) The Nerdist alerts fans to updates in German artist Dirk Löchel's online poster featuring hundreds of science fictional star ships ranging from Star Trek to Mass Effect.
A high-res version can be downloaded from the artist's Deviant Art site, where he also discusses the updates in detail including such frequently asked questions as…
Q: Why isn't the Death Star/CSO Carrier/V'Ger/other large ship on the chart?
A: For reasons of image quality and chart organisation, only ships between a minimum of 100 meters and 24000 meters are applicable for this chart, sorry. Arbitrary? Yes! But I had to draw the line somewhere.
Q: And where's TARDIS?
A: It's both too large and too small for the chart.
(7) J. C. Carlton in "How To Create Your Own Monsters" appeals for people to sympathize with Vox Day, linking to a long list of insulting things people have said about Vox over the years. Because, Carlton thinks, what Vox has orchestrated with the Hugo Awards is all their fault.
The puppy kickers had every opportunity to put a hand out and create some sort of consensus with Larry and the rest of the Sad Puppies. They could have listened to what the puppies were saying and taken a more even handed stance. Above all they could have avoided the fiasco of no awarding the Hugo Awards. Instead they treated the puppies with abuse and disparagement, conducting yet another campaign of destruction. But they aren't hitting Vox the Count working against them. All they have managed to do is create yet more Counts and hasten their own destruction.
(8) Al Harron explains why he is now a former contributor to The Cimmerian blog in "Matters of Importance" on A Wilderness of Peace.
[Leo Grin on The Cimmerian] "The Cimmerian Blog has been defunct for half a decade, but now that one of our former bloggers has been exposed as an SJW, we feel impelled to rise from our slumber to declare that we stand 100% against SJWs and their travelling freakshow of interlocking fetishes and predatory abuses.
As a now-confirmed SJW, Barbara Barrett is hereby EXPELLED from this blog. We have struck her prose from every post, and her face from every picture. Let her name be unheard and unspoken among us, erased from the memory of our august fellowship, for all time. So let it be written. So let it be done."
Barbara Barrett is a friend, a colleague, and an erudite scholar. I wrote to Leo stating, in no uncertain terms, that if anyone on The Cimmerian was to be expelled, their prose struck, their faces scored out, their very names unheard and unspoken, for the "crime" of criticism, then they must do exactly the same to me.
I campaign for Scottish independence. I took great pride in our movement's peaceful, positive message in the face of immense opposition. That opposition had the might of the entire UK Establishment at its back, seeking to crush anything that could threaten their dominion over these isles and their resources. Everyone in the movement has a story about being intimidated, being abused, being threatened. My mother has been physically assaulted three times in the past few years. The car was trashed, the windshield cracked, property vandalised and stolen. Grown men and women have screamed obscenities in my face, my mother's, the children in my family. I have been called every name under the sun: "Nazi," "Fascist," "Taliban," "Racist," "Scum," "Evil." I do not need to have my name associated with the likes of Vox Day.
Yet I put up with the intimidation and abuse and threats, because some things are worth the struggle. Some things are that important. And frankly, I had spent too long being silent on the matters of Gamergate and Rabid Puppies, because I didn't feel it was my place. I didn't want to stick my neck out. But after three years campaigning for independence and facing down all the power of Westminster, I find myself completely unafraid and resolutely unphased by the schisms of fandoms – and it makes choosing sides a lot easier. What fear, what power, could they hold over me, given what I have just experienced?
So, to remove any doubt: I advocate the cause of social justice. I denounce the activities of Vox Day and his supporters. And I publicly express my support, unequivocally and without reservation, for my friend and fellow Robert E. Howard scholar, Barbara Barrett.
(9) Steve Davidson has posted "The 1941 Retro Hugo Awards (Part 7 Novels)" at Amazing Stories.
Final Blackout is generally considered both a golden age classic and perhaps the best story Hubbard turned out. Typewriter In the Sky is an early example of alternate realities and the "author as god" concept.
Absent the reading I still need to do, I think the stand-outs in this list are Slan, Gray Lensman and If This Goes On… (though I've only read that in the fix-up Revolt in 2100).
(10) Bravo to Lauowolf for the impromptu filk "Filers of London"
I saw a Filer with a Kindle in his hand
Walking through the West End in the rain.
He was looking for a place called the Odeon Leicester Square.
Gonna go see The Martian on screen.
Aaoooooo!
Filers of London!
Aaoooooo! (Repeat)
If you see him reading on a train,
Better not ask its name.
Little old lady downloaded a jillion ebooks in shame.
Filers of London again.
Asoooooo!
He's bleary-eyed alright, cause he's blogging all the night.
And lately he's been reading in the shower.
Better stay away from him
Or he'll list some more books, Jim
But look at that tbr tower!
(11) First a Hugo rocket, now a LEGO astronaut – see what's floating in the window now at the International Space Station.
(12) The cast of Agent Carter promote the show with some Hayley Atwell and Dominic Cooper pranks.
https://twitter.com/HayleyAtwell/status/647176917196496896
(13) At Fast Company — "Take A Long Look At The Amazing Nic Cages/Tim Burton Superman That Almost Was". (They say that like missing it was a bad thing…)
It's a plot worthy of a comic book. In some alternative universe, Nicolas Cage might have have been Superman.
Back in the '90s, Warner Bros had greenlit Superman Lives, a moodier take on the Man of Steel mythos to be produced by Jon Peters, directed by Tim Burton, and starring Cage, then hot off an Oscar win for Leaving Las Vegas. The team caught the fascination of the comic zeitgeist, until an unfortunately-timed shot of a droopy-eyed Cage in superhero garb leaked and fan support soured. Two years, three scriptwriters, and a slew of concept art and costume tests later, the project was dead.
(14) J. W. Ocker, curator of OddThingsIveSeen.com, knows the harvest season is at hand, and that File 770 believes in "All Bradbury all the time." Check out "Strange Stuff From My Study, Episode 4: Ray Bradbury's Halloween Decorations".
For this fourth episode of Strange Stuff From My Study, I dig into my collection to show you a pair of extremely special and extremely relevant-to-the-season items: Halloween decorations that once belonged to the Great Scribe of Halloween himself, Ray Bradbury.
Appropriate for any season is the author's Poe-Land: The Hallowed Haunts of Edgar Allan Poe:
My latest book is Poe-Land: The Hallowed Haunts of Edgar Allan Poe, in which I visited every Poe site on the East Coast and across the Atlantic, meeting and talking to those men and women who are upholding the dark poet's physical legacy. It's a weird book, but it won the 2015 Edgar Award for Best Critical/Biography.
(15) And while we're in this eldritch neighborhood, The Last Witch Hunter trailer looks fairly horrifying.
(16) Did Ridley Scott just pull the rug out from under Neill Blomkamp's Alien sequel? A September 24 news report says Scott just revealed the title of Prometheus 2 to reporters – and it's not Prometheus 2.
During an interview with HeyUGuys, the 77-year-old filmmaker – and director of the original ground-breaking 'Alien' movie – revealed the rather surprising title.
"Actually, really it's going to be called Alien: Paradise Lost," he said. "So Prometheus 2 is not really what it's going to be… it's going to be Alien: Paradise Lost."
Alien: Paradise Lost heads to cinemas on May 30 2017.
(17) A 7-minute video, To Scale: The Solar System, shows how "On a dry lakebed in Nevada, a group of friends build the first scale model of the solar system with complete planetary orbits: a true illustration of our place in the universe."
[Thanks to J.W. Ocker, JJ, Mark-with-no-last-name, and John King Tarpinian for some of these stories. Title credit goes to File 770 contributing editor of the day Will R.]

My favorites (besides "Fire Watch", Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog) are "All About Emily" (another one which made me cry), "At the Rialto", "All Seated on the Ground", "Bellwether", "D. A.", "Miracle", and "The Winds of Marble Arch" — though I'm sure that I'm forgetting some.

James or Jacobus Yonge (fl. 1406–1438) was an Anglo-Irish translator, author, and civil servant.

Life
Yonge lived in Dublin and belonged to an English family settled in the Irish pale. William Yonge, Archdeacon of Meath from 1407 to 1437, was possibly his brother. Both James and John Yonge (possibly an uncle) occur in the Irish patent and close rolls early in the fifteenth century.  James Yonge was in prison in Trim Castle from January to October 1423, being removed in the latter month to Dublin Castle, and being pardoned on 10 May 1425. A John Yonge was serjeant of the county of Limerick in the reign of Richard II, held a lease of various lands, and was convicted of unspecified felonies.

James Yonge worked as a legal scribe for the City of Dublin, the religious Guild of St. Anne, St. John's Parish, and many private clients in Dublin.  In 1412, he wrote a Latin text known as the 'Memoriale' chronicling the visions of a Hungarian knight, Laurence Rathold of Pászthó, in Saint Patrick's Purgatory.  He was hired by James Butler, 4th earl of Ormonde, to translate into English the 'Secreta Secretorum' attributed to Aristotle. He finished this work in 1422.   The 'Secreta secretorum' was a popular work in the Middle Ages, and translations were made in the early fifteenth century by Thomas Hoccleve, John Shirley (1366?–1456), John Lydgate, and Burgh, and John Gower used it in his Confessio Amantis. Yonge's translation appears to have been made from a French version by one Gofroi of Waterford; it was dedicated to Ormonde and was once considered 'perhaps the only lengthy work known written in the English of the Pale early in the fifteenth century'. It is divided into seventy-two chapters and is interspersed with passages from Irish history, including some of Ormonde's exploits in 1422. Several manuscripts of it are extant.

Q: Dynamic loading of nginx third party module via chef I am trying to dynamically load a third party module to nginx.
https://github.com/stnoonan/spnego-http-auth-nginx-module
Nginx is installed via package installation using chef recipe.
I have tried compiling the module to module binary .so file and copied it to /etc/nginx/modules directory and added the following line into nginx.conf, but it showed error "unknown directive load_module".
nginx.conf
load_module modules/ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so ;

Chef recipe
bash 'create_spnego_module' do
   code <<-EOH
    mkdir -p #{node['nginx']['dir']}/modules
   EOH
 end

cookbook_file "#{node['nginx']['dir']}/modules/ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so" do
  source 'ngx_http_auth_spnego_module.so'
  owner  'root'
  group  node['root_group']
  mode   '0644'
  notifies :reload, 'service[nginx]', :delayed
end

Is there any other way I can load this module via chef without  recompiling nginx source?

A: As mentioned in comments, your version of Nginx is too old for dynamic module loading. You'll either need to recompile it with the new module or install a new version.

A: During compilation of module binary , the configuration arguments for compiling modules should be the same as that of the installed nginx.
Using command line argument  'nginx -V' , check the configuration arguments during nginx installation. Use the same arguments during module compilation.

Queens Schools Recognized for Service to Communities
By QNS Editorial Posted on June 28, 2012
Projects Helped Students Give Back
More than a half-million New York City public school students have performed over 8,000 unique service projects to improve their school communities as part of "Service in Schools," an initiative of NYC Service and the Department of Education (DOE), it was announced.
According to Chief Service Officer Diahann Billings-Burford and Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott, approximately 587,676 pupils in 1,402 schools in all five boroughs participated in projects which included working on a sustainable organic farm serving Crown Heights, Brooklyn and leading workshops for elementary school students as part of the Young Heroes program among other projects.
Additionally, 30 schools were recognized last week for excellence in engaging their students in service.
"Service in Schools has been a vital part of NYC Services' goal to make service a core part of what it means to be a New Yorker," said Billings-Burford. "Thanks to the work of our schools, the Department of Education and our non-profit partners, this initiative has been successful in encouraging students to make service a key part of their everyday lives."
"As we work to ready all our students for college and careers, service and service-learning opportunities help prepare them for active civic participation-in their schools, in their communities and throughout their lives," said Walcott. "I am proud of the hundreds of thousands of New York City students who gave back to their communities through the myriad service projects, and I congratulate these 30 schools who are leading the way."
Service in Schools supports the expansion of service and servicelearning programs in New York City public schools. The program began in the 2009-2010 school year, when 400,832 students worked on service projects, and expanded during the 2010-2011 school year surpassing goals by engaging 572,229 students in service.
This school year, the Bloomberg administration aimed to engage 600,000 students in over 1,700 unique service projects. In order to achieve that goal, schools were offered a range of resources, including resources to development service plans and the opportunity to attend a three city-wide training for schools. Surveys were conducted throughout the year to gauge progress of each school against its stated plan.
Additionally, Service in Schools hosted its second annual awards for schools last Thursday, June 21. Schools applied for the Excellence in Service Award, given to schools with developed and exceptional service or service-learning programs. Over 250 applications were received.
Billings-Burford and Walcott distributed the Excellence in Service Award to 30 schools, including P.S. 062 in Richmond Hill, John Adams High School in Ozone Park, J.H.S. 190 in Forest Hills, P.S. 78 in Long Island City and Flushing High School.
NYC Service was launched by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in April 2009 to meet his State of the City pledge for New York City to lead the nation in answering President Obama's national call to volunteerism. NYC Service is meeting its goals to make New York City to help more New Yorkers connect to service opportunities more easily, help address the city's greatest needs through volunteerism, and promote service as a core part of what it means to be a citizen of the greatest city in the world.
NYC Service aims to drive volunteer resources to six impact areas where New York City's needs are greatest: strengthening communities, helping neighbors in need, improving education, increasing public health, enhancing emergency preparedness and protecting our environment.

Welcome to Andrea's Weblog pages that are for the only real goal of show casing oil paintings made by her. Paint Junkies is an organization with over 15 years of Decorative Painting expertise. Many wallpaper schemes draw from the style of furniture that is in a house, which means you may have traditional, fashionable, contemporary or Scandinavian wallpaper types to choose from.


We love baseball. We love our home team (except occasionally when they blow it in the 9th inning!). We have friends that have travelled to every ball park in the majors – plus a half a dozen that are no longer being used! They have even been to some of the Double A and Triple A ballparks.
Even though we don't collect that subject ourselves, we get entranced when we find an image like the one shown here. It looks like a ball park, but there doesn't seem to be a backstop behind home plate. There is a player in a white shirt who seems to be hitting practice balls to the infield – and maybe the outfield that we can't see. There is a film camera behind home plate. And there's a police officer on horseback, and other officers on foot for 'crowd control'.
There is a big crowd. It looks like 1920s – or maybe 1930s. The few women spectators are wearing hats. The men spectators are wearing an assortment of hats – including fedoras, caps, and 'pork pie' hats. Are the men on the field playing ball – or making a baseball film?
This was a very good sized stadium for its day, and so must have been in a major American city. But which one was it?
O.K. you ball fans out there. Where the heck is this?
It seems that even a hundred years ago many people needed cheering up. This Canadian Pacific postcard was produced and created in 1910. On the face of this card Canadian Pacific suggested some reasons for their readers to 'Cheer up'. One of them was 'Wheat Growing'. The other was 'Money Flowing'. Hey, that's not too different from today! The farmers are watching the skies intently for the needed rain to nurture their crops. And the rest of us are looking at our VISA statements and our bank accounts hoping that money will flow from somewhere to deal with the costs of our surprise expenses – or our spending excesses.
You're thinking that it's only a postcard – how can that cheer you up? Well, it tells you that over the intervening hundred-plus years, you aren't the only one who has had to grapple with difficult crops or daunting debts. And you probably won't be the last. But if they survived – and most did – a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work will help you to smile through it all. So cheer up!
Mr. Bedford's well-established farm may have been in operation for 40 years by the time of this image, making it an attractive candidate for "immigration propaganda" use. This might have been one of the oldest farms on the Prairies outside the immediate vicinity of Winnipeg.
The postcard may have been handed out as a "freebie" by the Devon Shipping Bureau in an effort to drum up business.
As is still the case, giveaway postcards were often not valued by their recipients and would often end up being used for minor notes such as this. A distinguishing feature of most of the Government Agent cards, illustrated by the Nelson Bedford example, is that they depict specific farms and actually name the owners. In this case, Mr. Bedford turns out to have been one of the earliest (1870s-era) settlers in the Morden, Manitoba district, just a few miles up from the North Dakota line. The reference to "Glengross" should read "Glencross", but even with that correction the name might not mean much to those in the area today as the Glencross P.O. closed for good in 1909 (by which time Mr. Bedford himself had been dead for two years, after a life that was apparently marked by tragedy).
In my experience, these cards tended to be collected rather than actually mailed, making the well-used example above somewhat uncommon. Of the 28 Government Agent cards in my collection, only 7 were posted — 5 in England and 2 in Canada. An eighth card was presented to a pupil at a school in Oxfordshire as a prize for composition. The predominance of English uses suggests that (as we might have expected) the cards were produced primarily for overseas distribution to potential emigrants.
Amazingly, all but one of the dated cards from the U.K. were used within a period of about 50 days in 1905. Assuming that the missing year on the Winnipeg card was 1905, the Sept. 12 and Nov. 18 dates of the two Canadian uses suggest the entirely unsurprising possibility that the series was distributed a little earlier in Canada. But it seems that we can date the production of the cards, if only tentatively, to the spring or summer of 1905.
Fortunately, a piece of corroborating evidence has emerged, in the form of a short item published in The Winnipeg Tribune on July 24, 1905. The note appears to refer to a set of cards that is surely these selfsame Government Agent Cards — if only because three of the bird's-eye views mentioned match the three known examples of bird's-eye images in the Government Agent set.
Besides the identity of the printers and the exact number of cards in the series, two great mysteries remain about the Government Agent set: who took the photos and why these particular farms? To these questions I have no answer, other than a very small piece of evidence that Alfred J. Sutton (later of the postcard publisher Gowen Sutton in Vancouver) might possibly have had some involvement. But — to look on the "glass half full" side — we now know that the cards were printed around June or July of 1905 and can further hypothesize (with some "poetic licence" and all due caution) that, after a few had leaked out around Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the bulk of them were shipped off to England for distribution mainly in relatively prosperous counties in the southern half of the country (perhaps with a view to attracting "the right kind" of farmer). Getting the cards into circulation in England must have involved a fairly intensive and concentrated effort by someone over a few weeks in late October and early November 1905.
If anyone can fill in more dates and more places in England and Canada (or elsewhere), we can test and, as warranted, correct the hypothesis! Please feel free to leave a comment if you can help.
Sometimes postcards are the leading edge of trends. Sometimes you just can't be sure. And that's the case with this postcard featuring 'Dead Ones'. What's it about?
The card is postmarked from Osceola, Nebraska in 1908. "Where the heck is that", you ask? A reasonable question. A bit of internet research shows that Osceola's population peaked in 1920 at 1,200 people and by 2010 that number had declined to 880. So it's a small, unimportant town in Midwest America.
Reportedly Osceola had a major fire in 1895 which left only two buildings in town standing. But that was a full 13 years before this card was sent, so it would be a little late to have anything to do with the fire. The mystery must have had another solution.
These two people are in an automobile. Was the postcard memorializing a fatal car crash? I don't think so. There are postcards of major disasters, but not of automobile fatalities. Let's look again. If you looked carefully, you would have seen what I did when I bought this card several years ago – even though it had nothing to do with what I collect.
Mystery solved. My thesis is that this is an anti-smoking postcard. Ironically, it would be just as timely today as it was 108 years ago. The message makes no reference to the image on the front, so presumably the belief was that this card would speak for itself. It's certainly a long way from the 'pretty' card that the sender reports receiving from the addressee, but it's an amazing piece of social history.

Hey, that's just one of the delicate questions from their children that Mommy or Daddy has to answer! In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words – and a lot of embarrassed er…uh…mumbling.
They can tell Julie – or Johnny – that many, many years ago postcards came from shops like this one in Paris. See the youngster looking at the choices? Well, you will also note the serious woman watching him closely, in this era well before video surveillance! Video was not known, but theft was.
How will he decide on which card to purchase? Well, it's not unlike when you have to decide what you're going to select from Netflix or other video providers. It isn't easy.
Today's postcards are fewer in number, but we still have the survivors of the billions of postcards printed in the era of this picture as well as today's production. Great images. Great history. Great hobby!
P.S. In case the 1906 date on the postcard makes you think you're a bit late to get your postcards, it appears that some may still be available! Click the link – 186, rue de Rivoli seems to be the address of the first two or three shops in the Streetview image.

A Igreja de São José em Międzygórze é uma igreja paroquial católica romana de madeira dedicada a São José e construída nos anos de 1740 a 1742 em Międzygórze, na Polónia.

É uma das quatro igrejas de madeira preservadas na região de Kłodzko. Os outros estão localizados em Kamieńczyk, Nowa Bystrzyca e Zalesie. Até 2000, era a única igreja de madeira dos Sudetes com telhado de ardósia.

História
A igreja de madeira em Międzygórze foi erguida no centro da vila nos anos de 1740 a 1742 como uma igreja cemitério. Foi construída pelos construtores locais Friedrich Knietig de Wilkanów e Heinrich Ludwig de Pławnica, usando padrões de arquitetura de tijolos sagrados da região de Kłodzko. Nos anos de 1790 a 1792, o sino foi reformado e, na segunda metade do século XIX, o teto da capela-mor foi reconstruído e foi feito o atual interior decorativo da igreja. Em 1924, o carpinteiro Ignatz Herfort provavelmente reconstruiu o teto da nave e construiu um novo telhado, que foi coberto com ardósia. As placas de ardósia utilizadas, com uma área de aproximadamente 1 m², provêm da única pedreira de ardósia greywacke nos Sudetes, localizada perto de Jarnołtówek. Em 2001, a ardósia foi removida do telhado e o sino e a telha foram colocados. Em 2013, a fachada externa foi reformada.

Arquitetura e equipamentos
Uma construção de carcaça, feita de madeira, de, não orientada. Sem torre, nave única, com capela-mor mais estreita e fechada nos três lados, com sacristia lateral. Na entrada existe um alpendre. A igreja é coberta por uma cobertura de telha única com espira octogonal de estrutura esquelética, rematada por cúpula em forma de cebola com lanterna e cruz. Fileiras de janelas nas paredes com tábuas verticais.

No interior, por cima da nave, uma viga de tecto com vigota superior, com vigas angulares e um arranjo decorativo de corrediças em espinha, caiadas de branco, decoradas com um rasto geométrico dourado. O presbitério é coberto por um forro em caixotões de ripas perfiladas, rosáceas em baixo-relevo e decorações pintadas sobre fundo azul. Coro musical e galerias laterais conectadas por uma balaustrada dividida em bairros, também preenchidos com baixos-relevos.

O equipamento mais importante: a escultura da Sagrada Família na trave de Michał Ignacy Klahr; altar-mor de 1740 com pintura de São José e o menino Jesus em um retábulo em forma de folha feito por Hieronim Richter [2]; altar lateral da Mãe de Deus com o Menino com mensa barroca da segunda metade do século XIX; um púlpito de madeira com pinturas dos evangelistas e um dossel barroco, encimado por tabuinhas com os 10 mandamentos, de 1908; frente de órgão e pia batismal da segunda metade do século XIX feita no estilo do historicismo; Estações da Cruz fundada no século XVIII como oferendas votivas pedindo chuva que não choveu durante três meses e inúmeras esculturas e pinturas do século XVIII ao início do século XX.

Arredores da igreja
Lápides na parede ao redor do templo. Em frente à igreja, há uma estátua barroca de pedra da Crucificação de 1781.

The present administration in Washington D.C. is doing all in its power to trample human rights at every level. Each day the news reports another incredible round of hate and fear mongering. There is no question that the Right has gone too far and that we need to stand firm in our efforts to dismantle systems that have only been used to subjugate people of color, native and indigenous communities, women, LGBTQ people, and the poor. We need to use every tool in our organizing toolbox to fight back against an emboldened white supremacist ideology that is destroying us.
The ballot box is one of those tools. This election cycle we have a new wave of progressive candidates that includes women of color and LGBTQ people. At the same time, voter suppression is high, and there are millions of people who are systemically disenfranchised from their rightful process.
Tuesday, November 6, there are elections in Illinois and all across the country. If you can vote, please do. And no matter the outcome, we all need to hold our elected officials accountable, regardless of party affiliation.
That is why Crossroads Fund supports activists throughout Chicago who are building organizations, coalitions, and campaigns that push our government and institutions to make our city and our nation more just and equitable for everyone. We fund people who demand change and know that elected officials serve the people. Our grantees are working day in and day out – during elections cycles and the time in-between.
No matter what the results are at the polls on Tuesday, our work isn't done.
Last year, we granted over $1 million to movements for racial, social, and economic justice in Chicago.
Partner with us right now to help grant even more this year. It will matter today, tomorrow, and for our future.

I arrive at my classroom and a few seats are already filled. Some of those students are even awake. I remember studying with Osiris suddenly. Books spread out across a table, small snacks, glasses filled with kool-aid, mother in the next room busy with the things mothers are busy with, and the mutual silence of companionship.
The memory juts out like a spike and I drop my bag. This disturbs no one but me. I leave my bag on the floor and go to the restroom. When I arrive, I cry sloppily in a stall, muffling the sobs every time I hear the door open. I press my eyes shut and I feel as if I will scream. When I hear footsteps move back toward the door and leave no scream comes, but the tears flow and my body becomes a river. It feels as if the sun heats the surface of my skin and beneath it, where I kept all of whatever I have for Osiris, melts and becomes a deluge. The flow goes on forever, and the waters rise to the riverbanks, but ultimately recede again.
When it's over, I sit there, numb and drying.
I go to the sink to clean myself up and inspect the damage, "Show me my life. Show me my life…" I say to my reflection.
The door opens, "Ann, are you alright?".
I don't turn, but I reply to Jess's reflection in the mirror, "… My brother died." I say nothing more. I'm late for class.

(→Description and significance)
Astrovirus originated from 'astron', a Greek word for star because of the five-pointed or six-pointed side projection which can be detected by negative stained electron microscopy (EM). They were first described by Madeley & Cosgrove in 1975 as the causal for gastroenteritis in infants 1. Astrovirus disease is known as the causal for gastroenteritis, it is usually mild but more serious cases have been discovered in poultry. Astrovirus is most commonly found in turkeys and can lead to mortality. In 1980, turkey astrovirus was first described and was linked with turkey poults in the UK that were suffering from diarrhea and increased mortality. They were discovered in the U.S. the same year. Although replication is only routinely detected in the intestines, experimentally infected poults show thymus and bursal atrophy and the virus can be isolated in other tissues.

Although replication is only routinely detected in the intestines, experimentally infected poults show thymus and bursal atrophy and the virus can be isolated in other tissues.
There have been some evidence that there are distinct subtypes of turkey astrovirus. Strain et.al., performed experiment in differentiating the types of turkey astrovirus. Predicted capsid amino acid sequences were first used to assessed the relationship of the novel clinical TAstV isolates within the Astroviridae. The TAstV-1 capsid sequence was found in a clade containing avian nephritis virus, with distance between it and the TAstV-1. Sequence analysis of TastV-1 and TastV-2 diagnostic amplicons was used to demonstrate that the levels of variation among TastV-1 and TastV-2 are very diverse. The phylogenetic analysis of the full-length capsid genes of both types of Tast-V shows that both may have originated from separate introductions into the turkey species and that there are at least two lineages which are distinct subtypes instead of serotypes. There are potential serotypes to appear within each subtypes.
A computer analysis was done by Jonassesen et.al. that focused on the ORF1a gene product sequences and RNA sequences around the 5'end of the subgenomic RNA. In addition, reverse transcription, cDNA amplification, and DNA sequencing were performed. The ORF1 translational frameshift signal and overall genomic organization of TastV-1 corresponded to the ones published for other astrovirus. The analysis of the virus using TMHMM 2.0 tool which is used for predicting transmembrane helices in proteins showed five and six transmembrane helices, in the virus. As a result, analysis of the astrovirus that were available showed difference in the postulated transmembrane region and also two protein regions with the potential for forming coiled coils. Also, turkey astrovirus 2 make a single subgenomic mRNA that share boundary with the 3' end of the genome.
As previously stated, RT-PCR is one of the ways to detect the Turkey astrovirus. Tang et.al performed ssRNA experiment with internal control (IC) and multiplex RT-PCR to detect the astrovirus. It is a specific and sensitive assay which detects minute quantities of nucleic acid molecules of target pathogens. It would be affected by many factors which in turn lowers the sensitivity by causing false results because of its complexity. This study designed easy way to the generation of a ssRNA IC template reagent for use with multiplex RT-PCR developed in this lab to detect turkey astrovirus. As for result, the positive clones were confirmed by EcoR1 digestion and electrophoresis and sequence analysis of recombinant plasmids. Detection limit of the internal control template was determined by RT-PCR reaction of 10x serial ssRNA dilutions with primer sets of SRV and AFCP. Using ssRNA IC as a template, the RT-PCR products with primer sets SRV and AFCP were 576 and 575 bp in length while the positive RT-PCR products detected in the fecal samples by co-amplification with the same primer sets were 473 or 464. The result of the multiplex RT-PCR with the IC as co-amplification component revealed a test inhibition rate of 12.5%.

Appendix 2: Competitors and published designs
Survey of London Monograph 17, County Hall. Originally published by Guild & School of Handicraft, London, 1991.
APPENDIX II. The County Hall Competition, 1907–8: List of Competitors and Published Designs
Invited Architects
Architects successful in Preliminary Competition
Architects unsuccessful in the Preliminary Competition
The County Hall competition produced a total of 107 designs – 99 in the preliminary stage, plus those of the eight architects invited into the second stage. The designs of the fifteen architects or architectural partnerships who won through to this stage and those of the invited architects were all published. But of the other 84 designs only 23 were published, and as no complete list of entries appears to have survived, if, indeed one was ever made, the identity of most of the competitors remains unknown.
The original competition drawings were returned to the competitors, and it is remarkable that so few of them have come to light. A complete set for H. Percy Adams & C. H. Holden's entry, which was not published, are in the RIBA Drawings Collection, as are some for Beresford Pite's. Two of C. Stanley Peach's elevations are in the possession of Stanley Peach & Partners. A full set of plans for Knott's winning design, with the required elevations and sections, are in the GLRO.
All the known competitors are listed below, together with an indication where their designs were published (if at all). The principal source of information about the competition entries is Alexander Koch's London County Council Hall Final Competition which came out shortly after the result was announced in February 1908 (K). This reproduces all twenty-three designs in the second stage, plus six unsuccessful designs from the first stage. The four principal journals of the architectural and building press – The Architect & Contract Reporter (A), The British Architect (BA), The Builder (B), and The Building News (BN) – all published a selection of the competition entries between 1907 and 1909. Inevitably there was a lot of overlap, but each journal published one or more designs from the first stage which the others ignored. The published designs often included perspectives, although these were specifically excluded from the competition itself. Nineteen competitors exhibited their designs at the Royal Academy (RA) in 1908 or 1909.

Bean Cafe Offers Tasty Snacks on Campus
Jonathan Caballeros, El Vaquero Staff Writer
The Bean Café, a new coffee shop on campus, has opened up where the old Café Vaquero used to be, and with it brings more than just the average cup of joe.
With Peet's Coffee being their flagship item, the Bean Café opened up on May 7 for students to enjoy food, drinks and sometimes enjoy the music provided by the student government or a live pianist, amateur or professional.
Although the main product the Bean Café sells is coffee, one thing is certain of this new curio stand: the Bean Café is more than just a quick caffeine fix.
The café has an atmosphere to itself, complemented by the tables and the attractive red umbrellas, matching the look of the shop. The people on the tables interact with one another, relaxing or chatting, while having a bite to eat or a drink in their hands.
Sometimes the customers can enjoy the music of a very talented pianist nearby, the piano being a courtesy of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
Once at the counter, employees are nothing but happy to help customers get whatever they fancy at the moment.
For the summer heat, coffee won't be their recommendation: a mango smoothie should do the trick. To make it a full meal, a Caesar salad wrap should fill up the consumer with its lettuce, Swiss cheese, Caesar salad dressing and chicken wrapped into one flour tortilla.
For a snack, a warm chocolate croissant is sweet treat, and as a complement for "Happy Friday," two cookies on the house.
At first, shrugs were imminent with the realization that the Caesar salad wrap was pre-packaged. Once opened, the wrap exceeds what people would think of the pre-packaged foods. The crunching sound of lettuce along with the slight bitter taste of the Swiss cheese complimented the savory taste of the chicken that come together with Caesar salad dressing to perfectly emulate the salad in a single bite.
Switching from savory to sweet, the mango smoothie is not just a sweet treat, but can also make a warm day feel just right. It uniquely gives the meal the right amount of sweet to mix with the slight dark taste of Swiss.
Letting the croissant cool down a bit, the complementary cookies provide a very sweet pick up in between the meal. It is much sweeter than the mango smoothie, which is to be expected, but the sweetness that the cookies provided were the perfect add in to entirety of the meal.
For dessert: the croissant. The first bite made bread crumbs fly while keeping the chocolate drizzle on top intact. It was semi-sweet. The second bite uncovered the chocolate hidden inside and soon after the discovery, the croissant was gone.
With the meal finished there was still a reason to stick around the café tables. The pianist was continuing on.
Kaoko Okuyama kept on playing the piano, the message on top of the piano saying "Play me, I'm yours."
The Bean Café: 1500 N Verdugo Road, Glendale
Business hours are Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m..
Credit cards are accepted.
Recommended food options: wraps, all for $5.95, croissants for $2.75.
Recommended drink options: Mango Smoothie (medium) for $4.05
