Málaga Conarte wine label
A selection of the finest Malaga, Spain wines brought together 10 bodegas and 10 painters from all over the province in order to promote them in Germany, United States, UK, Russia and Japan.
The top section of the labels is in the shape of an artist's palette, and in addition to the information on each type of wine, each label depicts a painting by the artist associated with each of the ten bodegas.
To hold the entire collection, we chose a case which is also reminiscent of the world of artists and art. This case presents a fine leather finish giving a touch of class overall, in keeping with the collection of wines.

Azerbaijan carpet thread installation
Azerbaijan artist Faig Ahmed is a well known carpet and fabrication artist that recently completed a large-scale "thread installation". Faig disjointed the carpets structure and explored the composition of the material used in the traditional Azerbaijan rug. On both ends of the carpet the carpets motives separate, leaving the tread to continue in a straight line across the room. For more information head over to designboom

Spanish Orange Juice packaging
London design agency P&W recently design a new Spanish orange juice packaging concept for Tesco.
"The design reflects the origin of the oranges whilst keeping it light hearted and distinctive from the array of other orange juices in the fixture – the idea of the Matador was used to create an iconic symbol – integrating the photographic orange within the illustrations for a sense of fun and still differentiating between the smooth and with bits orange juice varieties."

Air Malta's new brand identity
Air Malta revealed last week its new brand identity (logo, livery and payoff – The Airline of the Maltese Islands. Air Malta is based in the Maltese Archipelago which is situated in the center of the Mediterranean between south of Italy and North Africa. The Airline has a small fleet of 12 aircrafts that travel to 50 destinations.
Futurebrand was appointed to design the new visual identity. They dissected the old logo, keeping the good, extracting the bad and supplementing it with some modernity. The one element which they did keep from the old logo was the Maltese cross which is Malta's national symbol. Most national institutions in Malta such as the Malta Post carry the Maltese cross.
"The Maltese cross is at the heart of the new identity. For an airline, iconography is critical to create a unique and distinctive impression. With this in mind, there is more pride and prominence with how the cross is applied across the livery, and the shape features graphic patterns that are derived from and represent the true diversity of the Maltese Islands.
The traditional red and white colours of Malta have been infused with the colours blue, yellow, white gold, orange and green, which reflect the sun, sand and sea, the famously vibrant and colourful annual Festas, carnivals and fireworks displays and the colourful Luzzu fishing boats that can be seen in many harbours and bays around the islands."

Zarbanis distillery Ouzo
Ouzo is uniquely Greek and its most popular alcoholic drink. It has been around for many hundred years and has a profound culture and history. The Geek government thinks it is so unique that it won the exclusive rights to use the product name ouzo.
Athens design agency Mousegraphics designed the label for Zarbanis distillery who were inspired by typical greek colours and architecture.
"The briefing (in brief): "i want to sell my ouzo. I need a label. It is a new entry and i want to use my name on it". The target audience: people that drink alcohol and have a taste for ouzo. Greeks and tourists. The design: we used three interlocking elements in the package design: the name, the provenance, the essence. Ouzo (a spirit variant widely recognized by locals and foreigners) connected with the producer through a stressed Z letter (several heroic connotations here). An equally recognizable white-blue island church speaks of all beautiful things Greek. A transparent glass allows the transparent spirit to add a sense of lightness and purity in the mix. This is folklore with none of the hyperboles usually related to it."

Italian circus packaging for Casa Gusto
Back in the 50's Salvatore traveled around Italy following the circus, tasting some of the best ingredients Italy had to offer. Having been strongly influenced and inspired by the Italian circus Salvatore and his son Stefano approached Australian design studio "The Creative Method" to design their food products Casa Gusto.
The studio's solution was to created a series of illustrations that represented circus artists and animals that interacted with the ingredients.
According to wikipedia the circus first originated in Ancient Rome in the 14th century.

Q: In Android 4.2, when programmatically installing an APK using an intent, how do you allow downgrades? As of 4.2, using the following code to install an APK, the install fails if the APK version is lower than the currently installed version.  Is there a PutExtra() that will allow the downgrade?
File file = new File(dir, "App.apk");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);

Or do I need to do it a different way?

A: AFAIK the allowing downgrades is the function of application is being install if this app allows to be downgraded the it will downgrade the currently installed app otherwise you can't
so from your Intent you can not control it
The setting you can set in your application
This property you can set in your manifest

A: At least with same versionname / versioncode works following extra to the intent
(for me (Android 4.2.2, Galaxy S4 Active):
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(new File(PATH_TO_FILE_APK));
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.putExtra('Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REPLACED', "your.package.name");
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);

In my case, this restarts the app after replacing.

The Werewolves are mystical shapeshifting beings, turning into wolves or humanoid wolves.
Though they were created only circa 8,000 BC, following the post-Hyborian cataclysm,[2] there were mentions of them and even known werewolves in the Pre-Cataclysmic[3] and the Hyborian Age.[4]
Like many super-natural races that exist on Earth, the true origins of werewolves is shrouded in mystery. Further there are many other species that have similar characteristics. While traditionally, werewolves appear to have a mystical background, their origins are tied to the Wolf Demon, the Wolf Gods and the Wolf Men a race of lupine humanoids that existed circa 18,000 BC.[5]
One account suggests the lycanthropy was a gift handed down by the Elder Gods.[6] There are passages in the Book of Darkhold that contain information regarding a werewolf curse which suggests that there may be some connection between werewolves and Chthon.[7]
Hyborian Age
By the Hyborian age, the Werewolves were already a subject of fear and superstition among humanity.[3][8]
There appears to be two methods of transforming a human being into a werewolf, one being mystical and the other through mutation by scientific means. While mystical werewolves have specific weaknesses and their transformations between human and werewolf form are governed by specific environmental factors, scientifically created werewolves have abilities and weaknesses that vary.[citation needed]
According to Montague Summers, all Werewolves are born at Christmas Eve, which proved true at least for Ares Pelagian.[9]
Artificial Werewolves
Some "Werewolves" are in fact product of recent science:
According to the Angel a mixture of the rare herbs Sitsuie and Hirsasu could transform an individual into a werewolf if they were injected by this. He would clash with two such werewolves, the Pakistani Singa and his hapless victim Robert Harrison. The Angel would slay Singa and cure Harrison. How to cure such a transformation remains unknown. These werewolves had enhanced strength, were consumed by a savage fury. They appeared to remain in lupine form indefinably, and were vulnerable no mortal means of death.[10]
...[11]
Earth-9997
It was revealed that werewolves were not magical creatures at all, but the product of mutation implanted into humanity centuries ago by the Celestials. Humanity prior to this manipulation were a more feral and animal like in appearance. All mutates on Earth who adopted a more primitive form, including those classified as werewolves were in reality mutates that would regress to an earlier state in human evolution.[12]
Typically, Werewolves have enhanced strength, can transform between human form and wolf form and various stages of mid transformation. In their lupine forms they have enhanced senses, speed and agility. Most mystically created werewolves transformations are controlled by the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon also effect how much of their human mind remains intact during their transformations. Typically, mystically created werewolves are immune to most conventional forms of physical harm and have enhanced healing abilities.
Artificially-made werewolves have various strength, and limitations that depend on the varying factors.
Mystically created werewolves usually have a weakness to silver. This element can cause them permanent harm or even kill them.
Habitat: Earth like
Gravity: Earth like
Atmosphere: Earth like
Population: Varied
Type of Government: Varied. Often if Werewolves organize, they do so in a pack.
Representatives: Warwolf, Duncan Vess, Marcus the Centaur, Nina Price
Russoff Family
Possibly the most famous werewolves are those of originating from the Russoff family. The first would be Grigori Russoff who was transformed into a werewolf by Lydia Varadi in the 18th Century.[13] His family was cursed so that every successive member of the Russoff family would under go transformations into werewolves after their 18th birthday. The most recent member of the Russoff line dealing with the curse is Jack Russel, also known as the Werewolf by Night.[7]
In the 1940's, the other-dimensional Vision would encounter Llhupa and Gordon Sanders. According to Sanders accounts, he found Llhupa while exploring the lost city of Howling Demons in Tibet. There he and his colleague would be attacked by a wolf, that would later turn out to be Llhupa. Sanders would be cursed with lycanthropy and his colleague would be murdered. Returning to America to try and find a cure, Sanders would eventually be slain by the transformed Llhupa who in turn would be slain by the Vision. These werewolves would transform into either partially or fully lupine forms at night and be consumed with a berserker rage. They appeared to be vulnerable to moral means of injury or death.[14]
In 1946, the Human Torch and Toro encountered Mr. Taylor, who turned into a werewolf during a full moon. He appeared to be a typical werewolf, although he was able to be killed by having his neck broken and shot by conventional bullets.[15]

In number theory, specifically in Diophantine approximation theory, the Markov constant  of an irrational number  is the factor for which Dirichlet's approximation theorem can be improved for .

History and motivation

Certain numbers can be approximated well by certain rationals; specifically, the convergents of the continued fraction are the best approximations by rational numbers having denominators less than a certain bound. For example, the approximation  is the best rational approximation among rational numbers with denominator up to 56. Also, some numbers can be approximated more readily than others. Dirichlet proved in 1840 that the least readily approximable numbers are the rational numbers, in the sense that for every irrational number there exists infinitely many rational numbers approximating it to a certain degree of accuracy that only finitely many such rational approximations exist for rational numbers . Specifically, he proved that for any number  there are infinitely many pairs of relatively prime numbers  such that  if and only if  is irrational.

51 years later, Hurwitz further improved Dirichlet's approximation theorem by a factor of , improving the right-hand side from  to  for irrational numbers:

The above result is best possible since the golden ratio  is irrational but if we replace  by any larger number in the above expression then we will only be able to find finitely many rational numbers that satisfy the inequality for .

Furthermore, he showed that among the irrational numbers, the least readily approximable numbers are those of the form  where  is the golden ratio,  and . (These numbers are said to be equivalent to .) If we omit these numbers, just as we omitted the rational numbers in Dirichlet's theorem, then we can increase the number  to 2.  Again this new bound is best possible in the new setting, but this time the number , and numbers equivalent to it, limits the bound. If we don't allow those numbers then we can again increase the number on the right hand side of the inequality from 2 to /5, for which the numbers equivalent to  limits the bound. The numbers generated show how well these numbers can be approximated, this can be seen as a property of the real numbers.

However, instead of considering Hurwitz's theorem (and the extensions mentioned above) as a property of the real numbers except certain special numbers, we can consider it as a property of each excluded number. Thus, the theorem can be interpreted as "numbers equivalent to ,  or  are among the least readily approximable irrational numbers." This leads us to consider how accurately each number can be approximated by rationals - specifically, by how much can the factor in Dirichlet's approximation theorem be increased to from 1 for that specific number.

Definition
Mathematically, the Markov constant of irrational  is defined as . If the set does not have an upper bound we define .

Alternatively, it can be defined as  where  is defined as the closest integer to .

Properties and results
Hurwitz's theorem implies that  for all .

If  is its continued fraction expansion then .

From the above, if  then . This implies that  if and only if  is not bounded. In particular,  if  is a quadratic irrationality. In fact, the lower bound for  can be strengthened to , the tightest possible.

The values of  for which  are families of quadratic irrationalities having the same period (but at different offsets), and the values of  for these  are limited to Lagrange numbers. There are uncountably many numbers for which , no two of which have the same ending; for instance, for each number  where , .

If  where  then . In particular if  them .

The set  forms the Lagrange spectrum. It contains the interval  where F is Freiman's constant. Hence, if  then there exists irrational  whose Markov constant is .

Numbers having a Markov constant less than 3
Burger et al. (2002) provides a formula for which the quadratic irrationality  whose Markov constant is the nth Lagrange number:

 where  is the nth Markov number, and  is the smallest positive integer such that .

Nicholls (1978) provides a geometric proof of this (based on circles tangent to each other), providing a method that these numbers can be systematically found.

Examples

Markov constant of two numbers
Since ,

As  because the continued fraction representation of  is unbounded.

Numbers  having Markov constant less than 3
Consider ; Then . By trial and error it can be found that . Then

(May 2021) Supporting and connecting with the communities we serve is an important part of our culture. Our team in Sydney, Nova Scotia, exemplifies this commitment as they continue to lend a hand to the Feed Nova Scotia initiative.
Feed Nova Scotia has championed the mission of increasing food security in the province through education, collaboration, and food distribution since 1984. To date, they supply goods to 140 food banks, shelters, soup kitchens, and meal programs throughout Nova Scotia. The organization has recently adapted to the challenges of the pandemic by launching the COVID-19 Food Box Program, which delivers groceries directly to people's homes. This initiative ensures individuals without transportation to food banks and those who could be adversely affected by the virus are not left behind during this period of increased uncertainty.
Our Sydney terminal, which was built in 2001, plays an important role in connecting our network to northern Nova Scotia and the sea lane to Newfoundland. This also means that the terminal is perfectly located to distribute the COVID-19 Food Boxes throughout Cape Breton and northern Nova Scotia. Location is not the only thing that makes our partnership with Feed Nova Scotia possible; more importantly, is the big heartedness of the people who operate our Sydney terminal. They have agreed to take on an increased workload to ensure their community can benefit from the resources from Feed Nova Scotia.
The arrival of COVID-19 has brought about new challenges for all of us and requires extra creativity and dedication to ensure no one is left behind. The amazing people at our Sydney terminal and Feed Nova Scotia continue to show the power of collaboration as they work together to end food insecurity in northern Nova Scotia.
"Midland is very proud to be involved with the Feed Nova Scotia initiative here in the Sydney area. Being involved with this program is a great way for Midland to give back to the community. Covid-19 has caused all sorts of problems and concerns for people to try and navigate through. Our involvement with Feed NS is our way of trying to ease one of the added burdens that people are faced with. Midland continues to try to give back to the communities we serve, and the help we are trying to provide during this pandemic is a perfect example of the level of commitment Midland has to our community! Teamwork is a core value at Midland and any help we can give to our community, we are going to attack it head on."
Brad MacDonald, Sydney Terminal Manager

Recipients of any bachelor's degree, other than a pre-professional degree in Architecture or Environmental Design, may apply for admission to the Career Change program. This program is intended to supplement the general education acquired earlier with the professional education for architecture. The Career Change program enables students who hold degrees in fields other than architecture to enter the Master of Architecture program.
The basic curriculum of the Career Change program is an intensive introduction + a three-semester sequence (2-week summer introduction, fall, spring and summer), comprising courses in design and visual communication, construction and structural systems, environmental control systems, and architectural history. The Career Change curriculum may be adjusted to suit the needs of each student based on the background area of their first degree.
Students who have completed the Career Change program with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and who have submitted a portfolio for review by the admissions committee will be considered for continuation into the 52-credit hour Master of Architecture program. Some students might be required to perform additional prerequisite work before entering the professional program.
Illustrations from the applicant's work experience in architecture or related fields.
In general, the university application deadlines should be observed, however students wishing to be considered for financial assistance should submit all application materials to the university and department by 15 January. All students who are accepted are recommended to enter the program with sufficient preparation in math and physics.

Defending the Planet: Environmental Justice
News From Columbia Law
In the sixth and final episode of Columbia Law School's limited-series podcast, Professor Olatunde Johnson and environmental and community lawyer Ruth Santiago '83 J.D., '10 LL.M. discuss the nexus of civil rights and climate change.
Low-income communities and communities of color are more likely to live near contaminated land and to have greater exposure to air and water pollution that are harmful to health. Questions about equity and fairness have taken on new levels of complexity as we confront global climate change. It's clear that major action is needed to address environmental injustices and ensure that marginalized communities have input on governmental policies and decisions. What legal tools and strategies can be used to effectively advance environmental justice?
Olatunde C.A. Johnson, Jerome B. Sherman Professor of Law, and environmental and community lawyer Ruth Santiago '83 J.D., '10 LL.M. join host Michael B. Gerrard to discuss policies and legal strategies to create a healthier and safer world for all people. Download the transcript here.
Read a recent op-ed by Gerrard and Santiago in The Hill: "Renewables Are Key to a Just Energy Future for Puerto Rico."

Olatunde C.A. Johnson is Jerome B. Sherman Professor of Law at Columbia Law School. Her research has helped shape the national conversation on modern civil rights legislation, anti-discrimination, fair housing, congressional power, and innovations to address discrimination and inequality. Her recent work examines the efforts of state and local governments to enhance opportunities for historically excluded groups. Johnson serves as chair of the Poverty and Race Research Action Council, which focuses on environmental justice among other issues. From 1997 to 2001, Johnson worked at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, where she conducted trial- and appellate-level litigation to promote racial and ethnic equity in employment, health, and higher education. From 2001 to 2003, she served as constitutional and civil rights counsel to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy on the Senate Judiciary Committee and was a senior consultant on racial justice in the ACLU's National Legal Department from 2003 to 2004. In 2017, Johnson was elected a member of the American Law Institute. In February 2020, she was appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice to the Resolutions Committee honoring Justice John Paul Stevens, for whom she clerked. Johnson served as vice dean for Intellectual Life at Columbia Law from 2016 to 2018. In 2016, she was awarded the Law School's Willis L.M. Reese Prize for Excellence in Teaching and Columbia University's Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching.
"I think of environmental justice as both the condition and a set of actions, but also the movement that has arisen over the last few decades to try to address these inequities."
—Olatunde C.A. Johnson
A resident of southeastern Puerto Rico, Ruth Santiago '83 J.D., '10 LL.M. has worked there with environmental groups, fishers' associations, and other community organizations on numerous projects for more than 30 years. Santiago has participated in broad alliances to prevent water pollution from landfills, power plant emissions and discharges, and coal combustion residual waste. Santiago is a member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council as well as Queremos Sol (We Want Sun), a civil society initiative to promote solar communities and energy democracy. In 2018, she was awarded the Robert Bullard Environmental Justice Award from the Sierra Club, which recognizes individuals who have done outstanding work in the area of environmental justice. In addition to litigation in courts and administrative agencies, Santiago has co-organized environmental education projects and advised the Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve on watershed protection and land use issues. Most recently, she worked on cases related to energy projects and integrated resource plans and has published articles on energy issues in Puerto Rico.
"There's a much more intersectional approach in these processes and these struggles and these battles. And I think there's a realization that we really need to bring together different sectors and different kinds of struggles that seem sort of siloed but have to come together in order to achieve the transformation that is required."
—Ruth Santiago '83 J.D., '10 LL.M.
Michael B. Gerrard, Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice, is the founder and faculty director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. He writes and teaches courses on environmental law, climate change law, and energy regulation. He was the chair of the faculty of Columbia University's Earth Institute from 2015 to 2018. Before joining the Columbia Law School faculty in 2009, Gerrard practiced as the partner in charge of the New York office of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, where he remains senior counsel. As an environmental lawyer, he tried cases and argued appeals in federal and state courts and administrative tribunals. Gerrard has written or edited more than a dozen books, including Global Climate Change and U.S. Law (co-edited with Jody Freeman, ABA Book Publishing, 2014), the first and leading work in its field. He is the former chair of the American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources. He also has chaired the New York State Bar Association's environmental law section.
"Disadvantaged communities should not be disproportionately exposed to environmental hazards and should have a full voice in the nature of the environment that they live in."
—Michael B. Gerrard

If you listen carefully, you'll hear not sleighbells, but Irving Berlin chuckling in his grave. As a sendup of obfuscatory scholarly writing, Mr. Beckerman has written a gem. I fear, however, that he is serious in his woefully out-of-the-ballpark deconstruction of ''White Christmas,'' as witness his statements ''preserves the ambiguity of the human condition,'' ''a dark song'' and ''lighthearted and sensuous.'' Come on, now. It's hardly Emily Dickinson here but rather a pop song about Christmas from an old musical.


If you find crossword puzzles too difficult because they incorporate obscure and seldom used words, check out Vocabulary Crosswords. The Windows 10 game includes 200 puzzles that incorporate everyday words. While the challenge is still present, in using the more common words Vocabulary Crosswords eliminates a lot of the stress your standard crosswords puzzle can have.
The free game is available for Windows 10 PC and Mobile and is playable offline. If you need a little help, there is a hint button available to get you started in the right direction and if you are completely stumped, a solve button is also available. Vocabulary Crosswords may come across as a little water downed when compared to the New York Times Crosswords, but even in using everyday words the challenge is still there.
Simplicity is key with Vocabulary Crosswords' primary menu with two options present. You can begin working on a crosswords puzzle or view the About screen that details the sources of the words used in the puzzles and the developer credits.
Tapping on the Solve Button launches gameplay. If you have already started a puzzle, Vocabulary Crosswords remembers where you left the game and returns you to that spot. Otherwise, you begin gameplay with puzzle number one. Vocabulary Crosswords includes 200 puzzles with no repeating words.
The layout of the game screen is minimalist but does require a little trial and error to sort out some of the features. The main body of the game display is your crossword puzzle with your clue running along the top of the screen. A Solve Button sits next to the clue that completes the word.
The lower third of the screen is filled with an on-screen keyboard and your game statistics. Statistics include the number of characters solved and the current puzzle number. Vocabulary Crosswords' keyboard has two special buttons: SL and CC. The SL button solves a single letter of the word and the CC button clears the puzzle completely. There are no limits with either the SL or Solve hints.
Puzzles are presented with a few letters of the words already in place and to solve a word, tap on the first letter block to pull up the clue and type in the answer. Just keep in mind that you have to type the complete word, including those letters already present. Alternatively, you can tap on each individual space, type the letter and repeat the process until the word is complete. If you are used to entering crosswords solutions beginning at the first empty space, this is a feature that may take a little time to get used to.
To switch between Across and Down words you just tap the first letter a second time. Any incorrect letters appear in red and the correct letters are in black. If you leave the Windows 10 game before you complete a puzzle, Vocabulary Crosswords saves your responses.
The only slight annoyance with Vocabulary Crosswords rests with the ad support. It is a free game and ads display full screen as you transition between puzzles . While I didn't care for the frequency of these ads, there is a nice the big X button you can tap to close them out as soon as they appear.
While Vocabulary Crosswords utilizes common, everyday words in its puzzles, the game remains challenging. The clues can be a little on the vague side, but not impossible to solve. The difficulty level is suitable for a wide range of gamers, probably late Elementary School and older and can be a fun time waster of a game. There is also an educational quality to Vocabulary Crosswords — it not only tests your knowledge of definitions but also on the spelling of words you use daily.
Available for Windows 10 Mobile and PC, you also have the value of mobility with Vocabulary Crosswords. I can see it being a handy game for road trips or to help pass the time when you face longer than expected waits.

Tesla stock continued to rally on Monday, rising nearly 10% on the day and closing at an all-time high of $524.86 per share.
The stock has been on a tear since the company reported a surprisingly profitable quarter on Oct. 23.
Tesla's entrance into China and strong year-end delivery numbers have driven the stock higher.

Tesla, which is now up more than 20% in 2020, continued to soar on its entrance into China and Q4 delivery figures that exceeded Wall Street's expectations. The stock has more than doubled over the past three months, according to FactSet.
The recent gains bring Tesla's market cap to about $94.6 billion, which is more than that of General Motors and Ford combined. The companies' market caps, which measure the value of their outstanding equity, don't tell the full story, though.
Tesla stock has been on a tear this quarter after announcing a surprise profit in its third-quarter earnings report in October of last year. Back then, the stock was just more than $250 per share.
Tesla began deliveries of its Model 3 sedan in China at the end of 2019 and has reportedly ramped up production at the new Shanghai factory to more than 1,000 vehicles per week. Earlier this month, CEO Elon Musk said Tesla plans to open a new design and engineering center in China and that it will use the Shanghai Gigafactory to build a production program for the upcoming Model Y crossover.
China is the world's biggest market for electric vehicles with 1.3 million new-energy vehicles sold last year.
Fourth-quarter delivery numbers published earlier this month impressed investors, driving the stock to its current heights. Tesla said it delivered 112,000 vehicles in the quarter to finish out the year, which brought the total vehicles delivered in 2019 to approximately 367,500 vehicles, a 50% jump from 2018.

Clinton Will Testify on Benghazi, Emails
Hillary Clinton will be testifying later this month in front of a special panel about the attacks in Benghazi that killed four Americans and also about her email practices. Her lawyer, David Kendall, says the former secretary of state will appear for one session on Capitol Hill, although she was requested to appear twice. Clinton last testified about the attacks in January 2013, but Republicans now say they have more questions about the incident after learning she used a private email account while serving as secretary of state.

Apple, Google & other large tech companies urge the White House & Congress not to renew the Patriot Act

AAPL Company Privacy Google Security United States
Apple is one of ten tech giants to once again call on the US Government not to reauthorize the Patriot Act in its current form. The Act expires on 1st June unless it is renewed by Congress. Apple was joined by AOL, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo.
In an open letter to President Obama, NSA Director Admiral Rogers and other prominent government figures, the companies urge Congress to end the bulk collection of communications metadata–the logs that determine how and when ordinary citizens contact each other.

Just as Apple published a new letter from Tim Cook and an update on privacy and security policies, a new report points to evidence the company has recently received new government demands for user data under the Patriot Act. GigaOM reports that language previously included in Apple's Transparency Reports noting the company had "never received an order under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act" has since been removed.

Everyone loves a good pasta dish. Cooking pasta, however, can be finicky at best if you aren't careful. These 5 tips will help make sure your pasta doesn't become sticky or mushy and will turn out perfect every time!
1: Don't put oil in the water - Seasoning the water prior to cooking with salt or some other items to help flavor the pasta can be a big taste improver. The problem with putting oil in the water is that it makes your dish instantly less healthy and greasy. People think that this will keep your noodles from sticking, but this is just a myth and cooking your noodles properly will do that for you!
2: Make sure the pot is the right size - People make this mistake far too often, by either trying to break the noodles to get them to fit into a small pot, or having far too much water in a pot and having it take forever to boil.
By using a pot that's not large enough, the water temperature drops significantly when the pasta is added, more so than if you were using a larger pot. While the water returns to a boil (which can take a while if the pot is very large), the pasta gets clumpy, sticky, or mushy sitting in the pot. As I mentioned above, using oil to cook your pasta wont prevent it from being sticky and all it takes is proper cooking for it to turn out perfect!
3: Make sure the water is hot enough - There are two reasons for following this tip. First, if the water isn't at the right temperature you could be under cooking your noodles if a few of the minutes are not at the right temperature. Second, when pasta sits in water that isn't hot enough it can become mushy and no one likes that. As you add pasta to the water, it will bring the water temperature down already, so be sure to give it enough time to properly heat up before adding your pasta!
4: Stir your pasta - As we saw with a lot of the other tips, a major issue with cooking pasta is having the noodles get mushy or stick together. Stirring your noodles for the first few minutes that they are in the hot water will go a long ways in ensuring that the noodles don't stick together. I like to stir it for the first 15 to 30 seconds, and then come back every few minutes and give it a few quick stirs!
5: Don't rinse your pasta - This is one of those tips that some people always fail to obey, and I am sure their pasta dishes turn out bland. When cooking, there are lots of great starches and flavors from the cooking. Typically when cooking a dish, I will leave a little bit of the water with the pasta when putting it with the sauce for the last few minutes in order to get all of that flavor into the dish. Using a basic colander to drain your pasta will work great, and help ensure your dish tastes as great as possible!
Hopefully these tips help make your next pasta dish a great success!


Stone County has a 100 year story to tell and will be presenting it as a play, celebrating its centennial, on May 19 and 21 at 7 pm and Sunday, May 22 at 2 pm in the Malone Hall Theater on the MGCCC Campus in Perkinston. Advance tickets are on sale now, online at stonecounty.com. Theater tickets are $10 each for adults and $5 each for children under 12. Children under 3 get in free. If you want to wait to get your tickets at the door, they will be $15 each for adults.
On Thursday, opening night, there is a very special dinner and theater option at 5:30 pm. Dinner will be served at the Wesley Foundation Barn before the play. Tickets for the dinner and play are $25 each for adults and $20 each for children under 12.
The beginnings of what is now the celebratory play started more than a decade ago as educators and leaders in the county's communities realized that there was no information or program on our regional ecosystem and its very special centerpiece, the longleaf pine as well as the many species that are dependent on its habitat. As a result, a movement was started to gather the county's timber stories.
The Telling Trees project was born from these early efforts and to create a sense of place and pride in our communities. Knowing who we are and why we are here not only involved knowing and recognizing the importance of our ecosystem and sharing that knowledge but also included knowing the history of our communities and their founding families.
So with the firm belief that our community deserves to know its story and the desire to share that story; individual stories were gathered together and handed over to the award winning playwright, Tanya Hays. In her expert hands, the stories were formalized and readied to be shared with a larger audience. Community members are the stars of the play and it is directed by Stone County native Daisha Walker.

Una alta cruz o gran cruz (, , ) es una cruz cristiana independiente hecha de piedra y, a menudo, ricamente decorada. Había una tradición altomedieval única en Irlanda y Gran Bretaña de erigir grandes cruces de piedra esculpidas, generalmente al aire libre. Estos probablemente se desarrollaron a partir de tradiciones anteriores que usaban madera, quizás con accesorios de metalurgia, y piedras conmemorativas celtas paganas anteriores; las piedras pictas de Escocia también pueden haber influido en la forma. Los primeros ejemplos supervivientes parecen provenir del territorio del reino anglosajón de Northumbria, que había sido convertido al cristianismo por misioneros irlandeses; no está claro si la forma se desarrolló por primera vez en Irlanda o Gran Bretaña.

Su decoración en relieve es una mezcla de figuras religiosas y secciones de decoración como nudos, entrelazados y, en Gran Bretaña, rollos de vid, todos en los estilos que también se encuentran en el arte insular en otros medios, como manuscritos iluminados y orfebrería. Probablemente estaban pintados normalmente, quizás sobre una capa modelada de yeso; con la pérdida de pintura y los efectos de la erosión, los relieves, en particular las escenas llenas de pequeñas figuras, a menudo ahora son bastante indistintos y difíciles de leer.

Las cruces anteriores tenían típicamente hasta dos metros u ocho pies de altura, pero en Irlanda aparecen ejemplos hasta tres veces más altos más tarde, conservando proporciones gruesas y masivas, dando grandes áreas de superficie para tallar. La más alta de las cruces irlandesas es la llamada Cruz Alta en Monasterboice, condado de Louth. Mide siete metros o veintidós pies de altura. Los ejemplares anglosajones en su mayoría permanecieron delgados en comparación, pero podrían ser grandes; excepto en ejemplos anteriores de Northumbria, su decoración es principalmente ornamental en lugar de figuras. Las cruces a menudo, aunque no siempre, presentan un anillo de piedra alrededor de la intersección, formando una cruz celta; esto parece ser una innovación del cristianismo celta, quizás en Iona. Aunque el ejemplo más antiguo de esta forma se ha encontrado en textiles coptos del .

Irlanda y Gran Bretaña

Las altas cruces son las principales obras monumentales sobrevivientes del arte hiberno-sajón, y la mayor cantidad en Gran Bretaña sobrevive de áreas que permanecieron bajo el cristianismo celta hasta relativamente tarde. No han sobrevivido ejemplos o rastros de las supuestas formas anteriores en madera o con accesorios de metal; el repertorio decorativo de las primeras cruces sin duda se inspira en el de la orfebrería, pero lo mismo ocurre con los manuscritos iluminados insulares. San Adomnán, abad de Iona que murió en 704, menciona cruces de madera anilladas independientes similares, luego reemplazadas por versiones de piedra. Quizás las cruces de piedra independientes más antiguas que se conservan se encuentran en Carndonagh, Donegal, que parecen haber sido erigidas por misioneros de Iona .  huyendo de los asaltantes vikingos, "dando a Iona un papel fundamental en la formación de cruces anilladas".  Las protuberancias redondas que se ven en las primeras cruces probablemente se derivan de piedras pictas. Es posible que existan altas cruces desde el  en Northumbria, que entonces incluía gran parte del sureste de Escocia e Irlanda, aunque las fechas irlandesas se están moviendo más tarde. Sin embargo, las fechas asignadas a la mayoría de los primeros cruces que sobrevivieron en buenas condiciones, ya sea en Ruthwell y Bewcastle, el grupo Western Ossory  en Irlanda, Iona o Kildalton Cross en Islay, han mostrado una tendencia a converger en el período alrededor de o un poco antes de 800, a pesar de las diferencias entre los tipos de Northumbria y celta. La alta cruz se extendió más tarde al resto de las Islas Británicas, incluidas las áreas celtas de Gales, Devon, Bretaña y Cornualles, donde las inscripciones ogam también indican una presencia irlandesa, y se pueden encontrar algunos ejemplos en Europa continental, particularmente donde el estilo era tomada por misioneros insulares.

Las altas cruces eran símbolos de estatus, ya sea para un monasterio o para un patrón, y posiblemente cruces de predicación, y pueden haber tenido otras funciones. Algunos tienen inscripciones que registran al donante que los encargó, como la de Muiredach y la de Bewcastle. Las primeras cruces irlandesas de los siglos VIII o IX solo tenían adornos, incluidos relieves entrelazados y redondos, pero a partir de los siglos IX y X aparecen imágenes figurativas, a veces solo una figura de Cristo crucificado en el centro, pero en los ejemplos más grandes del . gran número de figuras en gran parte de la superficie. Algunos ejemplos irlandeses tardíos tienen menos figuras (a menudo Cristo acompañado por un obispo o abad local), que se aproximan al tamaño natural y están talladas en muy alto relieve. La tradición irlandesa se extinguió en gran medida después del , hasta el renacimiento celta del , cuando la forma de cruz celta experimentó un renacimiento duradero para lápidas y monumentos conmemorativos, generalmente solo con decoración ornamental e inscripciones.

Escandinavia
La tradición de levantar cruces altas apareció en un momento en que los colonos nórdicos aparecieron en las islas británicas y conocieron una cultura cristiana. Una cruz fragmentaria ha sido descubierta en Granhammar en la parroquia de Vintrosa en Närke, Suecia y testifica de la misión inglesa en las provincias suecas centrales.  La cruz sueca era muy similar a una cruz en Leek, Staffordshire, y puede haber sido hecha por un inmigrante inglés. En Noruega, la tradición británica fue más ampliamente aceptada y se conocen unas 60 cruces de piedra del país, pero solo cuatro de ellas pueden fecharse con seguridad en la era vikinga gracias a las inscripciones rúnicas en las cruces. Muchas de las cruces probablemente se levantaron en campos de tumbas paganas cuando la familia fue bautizada. Posteriormente, fueron trasladados a los cementerios. La tradición de la cruz alta probablemente también ayudó a aumentar la popularidad de erigir piedras rúnicas (a menudo con cruces grabadas) en Suecia.

Ejemplos notables

Entre las más famosos están:

 La Cruz de Muiredach en Monasterboice, Condado de Louth
 Las cruces de Clonmacnoise: la Cruz de las Escrituras (la cruz original del  se encuentra en un museo, pero una copia se encuentra en el sitio original), y las Cruces del Norte y del Sur.
 The Nether (o Lower) Cross, una cruz de granito del  con tallas ornamentadas, en el cementerio de la iglesia de St. Canice, establecida por St. Canice, pueblo de Finglas, Dublín. La Cruz fue sacada de su ubicación original en los terrenos de la Abadía de St. Canice y enterrada para evitar daños por parte de las fuerzas de Cromwell en 1649. Se encontró intacto 160 años después y se trasladó a su ubicación actual.
 La cruz anglosajona de Ruthwell de Escocia, , con figuras relativamente grandes.
 La cruz anglosajona de Bewcastle.
 La cruz anglosajona de Irton, Cumbria, mostrando afinidad con el estilo de Bewcastle
 La cruz de Dupplin (picta / medieval temprana) en Strathearn, Escocia.
 La cruz de Camus (picta/medieval temprana) en Angus, Escocia

 Ejemplos clásicos de losas cruzadas pictas del : Aberlemno 2 y 3 en Aberlemno, Angus.
 La cruz de Kildalton del  de las islas Hébridas
 La abadía de Iona tiene dos cruces, con otras en la isla.
 Alta Cruz de Santa Tola. Una cruz del  en Dysert O'Dea, cerca del castillo de O'Dea, que muestra a Cristo y un obispo tallados en altorrelieve en el lado este, con motivos geométricos y adornos de animales en los otros lados. En el lado oeste de la base se muestra la Tentación, con Adán y Eva debajo del árbol del conocimiento, mientras que en el lado norte hay una ceremonia con varias figuras sosteniendo báculos. Este es un ejemplo particularmente bien conservado del , que no utiliza el círculo de la cruz celta.
 Las altas cruces de Ahenny. Las dos cruces de piedra arenisca de Ahenny datan de los siglos VIII y IX y se encuentran entre las primeras cruces altas anilladas. Ahenny, condado de Tipperary, cerca de la frontera de Kilkenny, y el sitio monástico de Kilclispeen, o la iglesia de St. Crispen.
 Alta Cruz de Ardboe, una cruz del  cerca de Cookstown, erosionada, mostrando 22 paneles con escenas del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento.
 Cruz de San Kevin, Glendalough, una cruz del , bien conservada, hecha de granito.
 Cruz del Sur, Kells, la mejor conservada de varias cruces del  en la ciudad.
 Cruz de Doorty, Kilfenora, condado de Clare; data del , tiene tallado un obispo y otros dos clérigos.
 Alta cruz de Kilree, cruz del  que se dice que es el lugar de entierro de Niall Caille, ubicado 4 km al sureste de Kells Priory, Condado de Kilkenny.
 Altas cruces de Kilkieran, tres cruces cerca de Ahenny, condado de Tipperary: Plain Cross (sin adornos), West Cross (con mucha ornamentación), Long Shaft Cross (tiene un eje largo con decoración).
 Las dos altas cruces de Moone, en el condado de Kildare. Se cree que la gran cruz fue tallada entre el 900 y el 1000 d.C. Está muy decorada y mide 5,33 m de alto.

Período moderno
A principios del , la Antigua Orden de Hibernianos de Portland encargó al escultor irlandés Brendan McGloin que fabricara a mano una réplica de tamaño completo de la Cruz de las Escrituras de Clonmacnoise. La cruz de piedra arenisca de 13 pies y 5 toneladas se completó en 2007 y se envió desde Donegal a Portland, Oregón, donde permanecerá como un monumento conmemorativo de la hambruna. En 2016, se erigió una cruz alta fuera de la catedral de Wakefield, West Yorkshire, Inglaterra, tallada en piedra extraída en Holmfirth y tallada por Celia Kilner. Esto se basó en los restos de una alta cruz sajona, fechada en 930 d. C.

Black History Now: Celebrating our Culture & History
Gun Recovered from Student at Marion Franklin High School Thanks to a Parent
The 64th annual Grammy Awards brought us #blackgirlmagic moments we are still talking about this morning. Whereas, the Grammy's have been notoriously white, we saw acts like Doja Cat, Jazmine Sullivan and Sza will big during the night. And performances by Lil' Nas X, Nas and soul duo Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak, who brought the funk to open the show. Host of the evening, Trevor Noah competed against Ludacris for best afro and Questlove presented an award and made one of the only Will Smith jokes of the night. It was a pretty diverse affair and it's about time! But what stood out most, were the moments of Black women shining for the contributions to music and support of one another.
Check out these #blackgirlmagic moments, we loved:
Doja Cat & Sza Accept Best Pop Duo or Group Performance

A bathroom break wasn't going to stop Doja Cat from accepting this year's Grammy for "Best Pop Duo or Group Performance." Sis sprinted from the bathroom to the stage when she heard her name called, to join her Kiss Me More collaborator Sza, who had an interesting trip to the stage herself. Sza, who wore vintage Jean Paul Gaultier on the red carpet, hopped to the stage, in stilettos, on crutches.
"I have never taken such a fast piss in my whole life," Doja joked during her acceptance speech. "I really appreciate it," she continued. The ladies exchanged hugs and praises for one another.
Doja ended her speech thanking her fans. "Thank you to everybody, my family, my team, I wouldn't be here without you and I wouldn't be here without my fans."
Jazmine Sullivan Wins Big

After 15 nominations, Jazmine Sullivan took home two Grammy awards, last night, for her album Heaux Tales — a moment that was as monumental for her fans as it was for her.
"I think I wrote this album to deal with my own shame around some of the decisions I made in my 20s," Jazmine said accepting her speech. "What it ended up being was a safe space for black women to tell their stories." Touche.
Jazmine took home another golden gramophone, earlier in the night, tying with Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak for "Best R&B Performance."

The praise for Jazmine continued backstage where she ran into her friend and fellow Grammy nominated artist H.E.R, who she name-dropped in her acceptance speech. "I'm so grateful to be up here, she began her speech. "Shoutout to H.E.R. for wearing these glasses in the dark, girl, I fell like 10 times tonight so you the GOAT for that."
The duo bumped into each other afterwards. "That's what I'm talking about," H.E.R enthusiastically exclaimed. We love to see it.
Megan Thee Stallion & Dua Lipa Recreate Whitney & Mariah's Iconic Dress Moment
Megan Thee Stallion didn't take home any Grammy awards last night, but she was still a winner. The H-Town hottie and Dua Lipa recreated the iconic pop culture moment between Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey at the 1998 VMAs.
"Not you stealing my look," said Megan Thee Stallion. "I was told I had the exclusive," replied Dua Lipa, "I'm going to have to have a talk with Donatella."
The duo put a spin on the memorable award show moment when Donatella joined them on stage to rip away extra fabric that revealed a new look.

If This Theory Is True, Zoe and Kevin's Romance Is About to Take an Unexpected Turn
Is Zoe Pregnant on This Is Us?
November 18, 2018 by Kelsie Gibson
There are some pretty iconic romances on This Is Us, but one that took us by surprise was Zoe and Kevin's. This season, we've seen their relationship blossom as they lean on each other, help each other through personal struggles, and ultimately begin to fall in love. In episode seven, the couple grow even closer when Zoe eats some "bad bat" during their trip to Vietnam. While her sickness could be passed off as food poising, a lot of fans began to wonder: is Zoe pregnant?!
It also didn't help that after the episode, actor Justin Hartley shared a side by side photo of Kevin comforting Zoe and Jack comforting Rebecca during her pregnancy writing, "Like father, like son." While it would be an unexpected twist for Kevin and Zoe to have a baby together, what if the real twist is that they decide to give it up for adoption?
Get to Know Beth's Cousin on This Is Us, Because You'll See a Lot of Her This Season
Shortly after the episode aired, a few Reddit users theorized that Kate might have another miscarriage and end up adopting her brother's baby. That way, she would still have a "piece of Jack" like she always wanted since the baby would biologically be Kevin's. Other users went even further, theorizing that Kate and Kevin might actually raise the baby together.
In the flash-forward, Toby isn't wearing a wedding ring, leading many people to think he and Kate eventually get a divorce. If Kate and Toby do go their separate ways, she could be longing to have a family of her own. Maybe after Zoe finds out she's pregnant, she decides that she doesn't want to raise a kid with Kevin, so Kate offers to help.
Chrissy Metz did say that Toby and Kate would have "an unconventional parenting situation." "Not unconventional in that people aren't doing it, but not what I think either of them ever had in mind," she told Entertainment Weekly. It doesn't get more unconventional than raising a baby with your brother. She added that the development in her character's story has been scary but exciting. "It's something I don't think we've ever seen, at least not on network television."
