Give Wisely. On Tuesday and Everyday.
The concept of Black Friday emerged in Philadelphia in the 1950s, an unhappy day when the city was overrun by crowds and petty crime, forcing police to work long hours and creating the unhappy name. It remained a local tradition until emerging nationally in the late 1980s with the reimagined (and typically untrue) story that it represented the happy day when retailers finally became profitable, while offering consumers rock bottom prices.
Cyber Monday was the next shopping tradition to emerge. Coined in 2005 by Shop.Org to describe the trend, it seems to have emerged more organically than its cousin shopping days as America's workforce returned from the Thanksgiving Holiday less than eager to dive head-on into the week's work, instead preferring to peruse the rapidly expanding world of e-commerce.
Five years later in 2010, American Express (a very large business) began promoting Small Business Saturday. The credit card company relies on small business owners as a major component of their portfolio and it proved both good marketing and a good cause as President Obama and other elected leaders began to lend their support the following year.
Two years later the family was finally complete, when Giving Tuesday emerged from the 91st Street Y in New York City, seeking to encourage giving and not just consumerism in the holiday season (Additionally, a great example of the value of including all Americans holidays in this happy season, since it was the Young Men's Hebrew Association that brought our country together in the spirit of giving). A number of online vehicles and corporations got on board and it caught on quickly.
Giving money to organizations like these is benefitting only the executives' yacht funds, not the first responders, veterans or children they are named for.
Of course, ratings like those are not the be-all-and-end-all of the quality of non-profits. At the extreme, they tell us who the worst swindlers are, but they do not necessarily tell us much at the margin, especially with service providing non-profits. For groups that exist primarily to raise money to disperse it to service providers, researchers, etc., these overhead-based efficiency ratings make a lot of sense because the money is all there is.
For groups that provide services directly, the money is not the point, the impact is.
So while we at Sacramentality would very strongly encourage that you give generously to charities in our community, we hope in doing so that you give smart. Know the mission you are supporting and know what how much good you are buying for the world with your hard earned dollars. If a charity you are considering supporting does not make this information readily available, you may wish to consider supporting another instead.
This post is a continuation of the story of Luella Johnston, Sacramento (and California's) first elected councilwoman. I strongly recommend starting with Part I, where I discussed Luella's civic and political activism in Sacramento, culminating in her successful 1912 campaign for a seat on the Sacramento City Council. In Part II, I discuss her first year on the City Council.
Rallying behind Luella's candidacy, Sacramento's women helped sweep local Progressives to victory in the 1912 city elections. It was a landmark year for Sacramento's reformers, who had finally succeeded in kicking out the political machine that had long dominated city politics. Now came the challenge of governing.
1912 was unlike any prior year for another reason: The five freshman councilmembers would be the first to serve under the new city charter. Prior to 1912, Sacramento had a traditional "Strong Mayor" form of government with a part-time, nine-member City Council and a full-time elected mayor acting as the city's chief executive officer. Under the new charter, the office of the mayor had been eliminated and the City Council – renamed the City Commission – was reduced to a five-member, full-time board. Under this "Commission" form of government, the Commission as a whole continued as the city's legislative body but, instead of a unified executive, each councilmember – renamed a commissioner – was also individually assigned supervisory powers over a different city department.
The Commission Form was the cutting edge of early twentieth century municipal reform. The drafters of the new charter had promised it would bring about a more "efficient and business like administration." Popularized in Galveston, Texas, and refined in Des Moines, Iowa, Commissions were thought to promote better management, as commissioners had every incentive to specialize in their assigned policy areas, and better accountability, as the voters could more easily identify and defeat any commissioner whose departments were found lacking.
While the voters elected the five commissioners, the commissioners decided for themselves their departmental assignments.
By unanimous vote of her colleagues, Luella was appointed Commissioner of Education. While Luella's election broke gender boundaries, the education assignment was a (disappointingly) safe choice in line with the era's social norms. Luella had, however, campaigned for the assignment and, given her background as a teacher and her prior successes around curriculum reform, it was certainly a good fit.
It was also a deceptively powerful post, responsible for a good portion of the city's budget. Under the charter, the Commissioner of Education had supervision "of all school buildings, property and grounds, and of the construction, maintenance, and repair thereof." The former Board of Education had also been merged with the new Commission; by virtue of her assignment, Luella also served as Board president whenever the Commission reconvened as that body to decide school matters.
Under complete Progressive control, the Commission's first year was a whirlwind of activity as reform-minded Commissioners proposed large infrastructure investments to bring the city into the modern era and set about undoing prior municipal give-aways to the city's public service corporations.
Luella had pledged that flood control would be her top priority; true to her word, one of the Commission's first acts was to propose to voters a bond (which passed) to raise city levees and construct the Sacramento bypass at Bryte Bend. Other improvements followed, including extending water mains and sewer lines to the annexed neighborhoods; building of a Hall of Justice including a hospital, court, and jail; purchasing an asphalt-mixing machine to pave the streets; securing land downtown for new state buildings that promised to bring hundreds of jobs Sacramento; and creating a municipally-owned electrical distribution system to light city streets and parks through a combination of construction and eminent domain. The later proposal stoked the ire of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), the city's private electricity provider, which furiously fought the associated bond.
Like the street light bond, many ordinances the Commission passed took direct aim at the city's powerful public services corporations. For decades the city's largest corporations, like PG&E and the Southern Pacific Railroad, had backed and bribed local party bosses and city officials and reaped generous city contracts and franchises, or even a municipal blind eye to their activities, in return. No more. In just one year, half-century streetcar franchises granted by the prior City Council were rescinded as too long; gas rates and telephone deposits were ordered cut; maximum rates for water, electricity, gas, phone, and other private utilities were set or planned; and a new "rental" tax was imposed on all the services corporations that used city streets and alleys to run their pipes, wires, or streetcars — supposedly the first such tax in the state.
Luella was busy with her executive duties as Education Commissioner, too. In fact, probably busier than any other commissioner.
The city's 24 schools, her main charge, seemed to do well under her watch. Attendance increased and teachers received an across-the-board pay raise. Although costs were up as a consequence, and state and county appropriations had decreased over the previous year, Luella's department still came in under budget. Open bidding requirements for supplies and services, in particular, had cut costs and reduced opportunities for graft and cronyism.
She responded competently to a major crisis in office. When a fire burned down the Capital School, displacing dozens of students and overcrowding nearby schools, Luella ordered the construction of seven portables so classes could quickly resume until a new site was found.
She also celebrated a number of successes. She cleared out the crony hires at the city cemetery, a notorious landing site for supporters of the old political bosses. With a donation from Weinstock, Lubin & Co., she opened the city's second playground at South Side Park – thousands of kids attended. Library membership grew by several thousands and 11,000 new volumes were added to shelves. Finally, she scored a personal and professional victory when the Southern Pacific agreed to enroll its "shop boys" in night school, demonstrating the value of her longtime vision for integrating vocational training into the curriculum.
In the lead up to the 1911 election on women's suffrage, opponents argued that allowing women to vote would destroy society because, next, they would be moving out of the home and demanding greater social, professional, and political responsibilities. Thankfully they were right about that later part. Only a year after gaining the vote, Luella ran for and won a seat on the City Commission. A year out, she had proven that women could participate and excel in what had been the very male worlds of politics and governance.
Decades later, in 1948, Luella was asked to reflect on Belle Cooledge's election to the Sacramento City Council and historic appointment as Mayor — the first woman mayor of a major American city. In an era where most women were housewives, Luella stuck to her defiantly egalitarian views. "Man or woman has nothing to do with the case," said Luella, age 88.
You have to do with women what you do with men – balance up their capabilities then judge. … If that type of woman[, i.e. one of Cooledge's caliber,] is willing to assume the added responsibility of mayor, in my judgment, she is fitted for it.
In thinking about the sexism Luella had to overcome to win a seat and be successful at City Hall in 1912, it is hard to ignore recent headlines documenting the sexism and harassment women still confront in the State Capitol, just a few blocks and a hundred-plus years away. It is also hard to ignore that women remain underrepresented at all levels of elected government, including Sacramento's nine-member City Council which, once more, has only one councilwoman. We still have far to go.
Even so, I think Luella would be proud of the women leaders following her that have continued to tear down those barriers and insist that people be judged based on their capabilities and not their gender.
Stay tuned for my third and final post on Luella, where I discuss her hard-fought re-election campaign and later years.

Growing believers need to be committed to disciple-making. What a new believer needs more than anything else is somebody who'll come alongside them and help them be strengthened. The Greek word there is sterizo. It means to develop a strong root system. It takes somebody else coming alongside you to help you get deeply rooted in the Word of God.
I'll never forget the first time that I had my very own Bible study. I was just getting my feet on the ground. There was a guy from up in Chicago named Steve…. I said, "Let me show you this illustration." I drew out the bridge illustration for him—the first time I'd ever done that in a setting like that….and I shared that with him, and he absolutely fell to pieces—just wept—threw his arms around me, hugged my neck, and I couldn't get let go of. I didn't know what to do. I had never been in an experience like that before, and he just wept and wept. And Steve accepted Christ as his Savior, and that was my introduction into what Christ wanted me to do. If I followed Him, He would make me a fisher of men.

Norbulk first to convert for environmentally-acceptable refrigerant
By Drydock on	 16th May 2016 News
Oceanic Technical Solutions has successfully converted all refrigeration and reefer plants onboard a Norbulk managed refrigerated cargo ship to run on refrigerant R407F.
The conversion, which follows the January 2015 entry into force of F-Gas rules banning the entire use of R22 refrigerant on all European-flagged vessels, is believed to be the shipping industry's first ever marine refrigerant conversion to the more environmentally-acceptable R407F.
Prior to January 2015, operators were still able to purchase recycled R22, but the ozone-depleting gas and other Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are now completely outlawed across Europe.
John Taylor, Fleet Manager, Norbulk, said: "With our commitment to operating ships in full compliance with all recognised international and national regulations, the success of the refrigerant retrofit has shown the industry that there is a commercially viable alternative that has a reduced impact on the environment other than the Ozone-depleting gasses formerly used in marine refrigeration plants.
"Since the conversion, we have reduced further the impact our operations have on the environment, without affecting cargo cooling performance," confirmed Taylor. "R407F refrigerant has very similar attributes to R22 but without damaging the environment."
During a scheduled drydocking at a shiprepair yard in Klaipeda, Lithuania, the 6120dwt reefer's refrigeration plant aboard was shut down and the entire charge of R22 recovered. Three refrigerant recovery units were used to transfer the gas to dedicated refrigerant recovery receivers.
However, before the plant could be charged with the new gas, Oceanic's conversion team, led by Technical Director Dave Lloyd, pressure tested the plant for leaks, fitted new gaskets, seals and oil filters, inspected and made leak-tight all pipe work and installed a fixed leak detection system – now a mandatory requirement under the F-gas Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 for refrigerant plants of a certain size – with sensors mounted at valve stations in the machinery room and each of the four cargo holds. The refrigeration plant was then purged with nitrogen and oil systems were flushed with fresh Polyolester oil to remove the existing mineral oil content.
After charging the system with R407F, the system was operated at full capacity for two days, with the Oceanic team monitoring pressure and temperature parameters before the vessel received her first cargo of frozen fish.
Robert Chesters, Managing Director, Oceanic Technical Solutions, said: "The ban means that shipowners looking to operate under a European flag or indeed reflag their vessels in Europe must now convert their HVAC and refrigeration systems to run on next generation refrigerants, of which there are hundreds. Based on the type of direct expansion plant in operation aboard and the cooling capacity required, we recommended Norbulk use R407F as it closely matches the cooling capacity, oil carrying properties and operating parameters of R22.
"While the gas is not commonly used in the maritime industry, R407F has a global warming potential (GWP) of 1800, far lower than the legislative cut-off point of 2500. All replacements are blends made up of several different components but if a leak occurs in certain parts of the system fractionation can occur, affecting the performance and stability of the refrigerant. R407F is a blend of just three refrigerants – R32, R125 and R134a."
R407F is also seen as a suitable replacement for R404A and R507 and other refrigerants with a GWP above 2500 that will be affected by new F-Gas Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 due to enter into force in 2020. While it will not be illegal to have systems that run on these gases, servicing them and topping them up with virgin refrigerant will be.
"While each refrigeration plant and the appropriate refrigerant should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, the success of the Norbulk refrigerant conversion has shown that R407F is a viable and environmentally-friendly alternative to existing high GWP refrigerants," said Chesters.
Based on the success of the conversion Oceanic Technical Solutions is now evaluating the refrigeration plant aboard other Norbulk vessels for conversion later this year.

LG G6 Review: The Verdict On LG's 2017 Flagship!


The mid-range Nokia 3600 slide connectivity options are quite OK. The seamless USB connectivity leads the lot. Once the USB cable is plugged, you're prompted to select the connection mode. You can then alternate the modes by only a few key presses. Moreover, Mass storage is available, allowing your phone's memory to be directly accessed from a computer.
As mentioned, the A2DP profile of the Bluetooth is supported to allow a stereo wireless connection. The rest of the connectivity options include the network support - sadly Nokia 3600 slide does not support 3G, but EDGE and GPRS are both the best there is at Class 32.
Finally, the memory card slot, which can sometimes be the most convenient way of transferring data, is also present here. The microSD slot is placed under the battery cover.
Nokia 3600 slide has an integrated HTML web browser. No significant changes in functionality have been made to the S40 browser since the previous edition of the user interface. Therefore you shouldn't be surprised that it is not the best on the market, lacking a lot of the skills of the more advanced alternatives. It still offers decent page rendering and font size customization. When set at the smallest font, up to 11 text lines are displayed.
Luckily, the phone is also equipped with an alternative web browser. The Opera Mini is located in the application section and is really the better browsing choice on the 3600 slide. It is far more intuitive and fits text better than the integrated browser. The overall browsing capabilities of Nokia 3600 can hardly be compared to the best on the market but it's still a decent offering considering the price range.
The organizer of Nokia 3600 slide is truly elaborate, offering a large number of time management applications with nice features and user-friendly interface. The calendar offers month, week, and day modes and five types of events available for setting up. The week can start on Monday, Sunday, or Saturday. The event types are: reminder, meeting, call, birthday and memo. Further, each type of event has its own specific fields and some of them even allow an alarm to be set up as a reminder.
Finally, the Nokia 3600 slide calculator offers two versions - basic and advanced. In addition a loan calculator is also available.

Green River Star Via Wyoming News Exchange
Rocky Mountain Power studies closing four Wyoming power plants
GREEN RIVER — An updated analysis conducted by Rocky Mountain Power suggests it would lower costs for customers if it sped up the retirement of four power-generating units in Southwest Wyoming, including two units at the Jim Bridger Power Plant.
The other two units are at the Naughton Plant in Lincoln County.
However, while the company's Integrated Resource Plan recommends early closure for the four units, RMP doesn't have a plan in place.
"We don't know the plan of what we're going to do," RMP President and CEO Gary Hoogeveen told a group of officials representing Rock Springs, Sweetwater County and the state Wednesday.
The company will produce a plan to handle the possible closures Aug. 1.
The IRP looked at RMP's 22 coal-fired plants to determine if savings could be found if units could be closed as early as 2022. It also analyzed the difference between specific coal units and newer resources and energy conservation. The plan is updated every two years, studying the best resource mix to provide customers with reliable access to electricity for a 20-year period. According to Hoogeveen, customers would save approximately $248 million if the company sped up retirement plans for the four units. RMP plans to study other factors related to the retirements, including how employees and the communities would be impacted.
Hoogeveen said the retirements would likely be staggered, with the first occurring in 2022, but said other unit closures could take place between 2022 and 2028 potentially.
According to Senior Vice-President of Thermal Generation and Mining, Dana Ralston, the company is not sure how many employees the closures would impact. If the unit retirements were staggered out, he believes RMP could avoid layoffs by adjusting staffing levels at Jim Bridger and eliminating positions through attrition. He admits that goal would be much more difficult if the units were retired at the same time. However, with only two units planned for operation into the 2030s, Ralson also said it would be difficult to maintain both the mine at Bridger and Black Butte. The Jim Bridger surface mine is tenatively scheduled to close operations in 2028.
For the Jim Bridger Power Plant, the plant is expected to reach the end of its lifespan in 2037, while the Noughton Plant's lifespan anticipated to end in 2027.
While many would blame politics as the reason RMP is looking to retire the units early, Hoogeveen said the decision comes purely at an economic level. He said the public service commissions RMP answers to mandates the company provide electricity at the lowest cost, while being reliable to customers. More focus in wind and solar generation, including RMP's investment in wind turbines, have made renewable sources of power cheaper to produce.
Hoogeveen also claimed the savings the company receives through renewable energy tax credits or through cutting units in Wyoming don't go to RMP's shareholders or its parent company, Berkshire Hathaway.
The cost of retrofitting coal plants with the latest emissions technology have made coal power generation more expensive. The two units reviewed in the IRP are the older units at Jim Bridger. The cost to retrofit the units with current emissions technology would not be economical, according to company officials. The cost to convert the units to using natural gas would also be costly, especially as infrastructure tying the plant to natural gas lines would be needed. However, with units three and four at Jim Bridger being what Hoogeveen described as the most technologically advanced in the nation in regards to emissions controls, he said he sees a long life for the Jim Bridger Power Plant.
The company plans to host monthly meetings updating residents on their progress until Aug. 1, when it releases its unit retirement plan. Rick Link, Pacificorp vice-president of resource planning and aquisitions said residents can submit public comments on its IRP through the RMP website. While he admits this isn't the greatest news for the community, Hoogeveen said the recommendation does not mean everything is finalized in regards to the four units.
"We're going to continue to talk about it," Hoogeveen said, "This is not done."

The Cossack Inferno
Chris Rossetti 2016-07-26

OFF MEDIA RADAR is one of the most horrific holocausts to stigmatise the half-human race. The proud Cossack had long suffered stigmatisation, hate, and horror by the Bolsheviks. On November 14, 1920, one of the largest flotillas in European history was moored off the bay at Sevastopol in Crimea. The rescue by armada included 150 ships of every size and type imaginable. Most but not all were ships of Imperial Russia. (ILLUSTRATION: The exile of 150,000 begins.)
Waiting to escape Bolshevism's murderous marauders was General Pyotr Wrangel's Russian White Army. For years his incredible wandering army had fought the Red Terror. Finally, overwhelmed by the American-backed Soviets, 145,693 White Russians had only the exile option to consider. Of these unfortunates there were 5,000 sick and wounded. The throng gathered on Count's Quay at Sevastopol included 15,000 Cossacks, 12,000 Cossack officers, and 4,000 to 5,000 regular army troops. Assembled on the Quays of Heartbreak were more than 30,000 officers of the rear units and 10,000 army cadets.
1920: Anti-Communist fighters await their rescue
The evacuation took place in an orderly and quiet manner. The organisation was taken care of by mainly Cossack troops and Cossack cadets. Finally, carrying as many evacuees as possible, the vast armada of exiles sailed off into the sunset under the sponsorship of France.
The evacuation was accompanied by unimaginable scenes of pathos. One has to remember that to the Cossack his horse was a family member. The sentiment between animal and man was mutual. The scenes of devastation were beyond horror. Tens of thousands of Cossack horses that had borne their warriors throughout the Civil War were by necessity abandoned. Fed for the last time these horses were released to fend for themselves. Many of these horses plunged into the sea in a futile attempt to follow the ships of the exiled Cossacks. War horses died in their thousands.
There is a legend about a young powerful stallion that was used for transporting the White Army's cannons. The war horse remained on its feet until the very end. The noble creature seemed to set a survival example for others but finally his dead hour approached too. The dying horse unsteadily made its way to an escarpment overlooking the sea. After standing for a while looking seawards, its legs buckled and, voluntarily, the battle horse plunged onto the rocks far below.
This was not quite the Western rescue it seems. Before the fleet had reached the Bosporus Straits the plunder began. Attracted to the helplessness of the exiled armada the British set about pillaging the armada. By the time the convoy reached a safe haven in French-occupied Tunisia only 33 of the original 150 vessels remained. Their passengers were now exiled, displaced persons. The better of these Russian ships were requisitioned by the French and those that remained were broken up. The Cossack peoples now set out on a 70-year-long exile from their homeland.
Some of the dwindling few surviving Cossacks were sent to the island of Lemnos. Many Cossacks were exiled to France. Others under the command of General Alexander Kutepov were settled near Turkish Gallipoli.
Exiles on board ship
Some of the Russian ships moored in Bizerte, Tunisia were sold by the French to Italian and Maltese ship-owners and breaking yards. In 1924 the French Government recognised the Soviet Union and the remaining ships of the Russian Squadron were surrendered to the Bolsheviks. This betrayal led to a wave of protests throughout Europe and the surrender of the ships was not implemented.
On the Sevastopol quays today one will find a commemoration plaque on Count's Pier from which the distressed fleet set sail. The tablet commemorates those Russians able to depart the Motherland. They were in fact the lucky escapees: As the Bolsheviks swept into Crimea they set about murdering the surviving White Russians by the tens of thousands.

You'll never hear about this true history of communist savagery from your communist college professors. They're too busy brainwashing their students about how evil whites are. It infuriates me to know how we are purposely kept in the dark about true history, whether it be about NS, slavery of whites and Africans by Arabs/muslims or just about any subject. History, like journalism, is simply leftist propaganda disguised as truth .

Thank you for putting up Mr. Walsh's hidden history of the Cossack Inferno.
Bolsheviks aside, Crimeans are mostly Russian-speaking ethnic Russians, as are East Ukrainians. U.S. should stay out of their business and pay attention to the non-White invasion on her southern border.

Home / Casino / Cambodia orders all casinos temporarily closed
Cambodia orders all casinos temporarily closed
By Derek Tonin
Tags: Cambodia
When Cambodia closed its borders with Thailand, the casino industry took an immediate hit, but they were still open. That's no longer the case, as Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen announced on March 30 that all casinos will be ordered to close on April 1, in an effort to help fight COVID-19.
The Prime Minister gave no hint as to when casinos may be allowed to re-open, instead suggesting it very much depends on the situation. "This is just a temporary closure, and they will be allowed to resume their operations when the situation stabilize," he said.
Without revenue coming in, he also offered that casinos could work with the ministry of finance for tax exemptions.
The decision to close casinos came as Cambodia's number of infected reached over 100 cases. No national lockdown or state of emergency has been announced, but the latter is being considered. One of the newly reported March 30 cases was a casino worker in the town of Banteay Meanchey.
Even before casinos were ordered to close, they weren't all doing very well. Donaco International had reported that since the border with Vietnam was closed, foot traffic at its Star Vegas casino in Poitpet had fallen off significantly, forcing them to close "most of" the hotel attached to it. That meant unpain leave for many employees.
Yaduoli Casino in Sihanoukville also saw a reduction in revenue, which then meant staff weren't paid. That resulted in protests, forcing local officials to mediate between the two groups. Employees were then awarded backpay.
If this situations stretches on for weeks or months more, protests might become a common scene. Even when times were relatively good, casinos have had to contend with striking workers. NagaCorp saw a reported 3000 employees strike in January over pay increases and working conditions. Those kinds of scenes, if not banned by lockdowns, could start happening at many resorts if a lack of revenue means more unpaid leave, and unhappy workers.

Q: What advantages cocos2d-android does provide over android 2d I have seen several posts here about cocos2d-android, so ambition to get more idea on it drag me at coco2ds-android-1 and a good example .
My analysis can not find any significant benefit of using coco2ds instead of usual 2d approach of surfaceView and SurfaceHolder.Callback .
I will be thankful if anybody have expertise over coco2ds-android will guide me about benefits to use it instead of usual gaming approach .

A: Just by clicking on links starting from the ones in OP, I have came across http://dan.clarke.name/2011/04/how-to-make-a-simple-android-game-with-cocos2d/ - which states the obvious answer you are looking for.
First of all, this is a 2D gaming engine. All of the physics and whatnot effects are just there for you. No need to re-implement from scratch
Secondly, this is actually a port of the iPhone gaming library with the same name - great news if you also plan on porting to iPhone. And thirdly it is open sourced, meaning you can tweak anything accordingly.
I have noticed however that this is a pure java library, so do not expect amazing performance. If performance is critical, google for something NDK based, not SDK based. I could not advise here as gaming is not my thing.

I can't explain it, but the label ignited my appreciation of the work in a way I don't think I would ever have felt otherwise. It was one of those details, one of those tiny moments of building context for an artwork that should be inconsequential, yet makes all the difference.
In 2000, when I worked at the Art Gallery of Hamilton and was coordinating exhibitions for its Community Gallery, I had the chance to serve as a juror for an annual show by the Women's Art Association of Hamilton (WAAH). WAAH is possibly the oldest artist group the city has ever known (its annual exhibition has run uninterrupted since 1896).
As you might expect from such an established group, the work submitted by its members tended to be for the most part very traditional and unsurprising. A clear majority of it was painting in either oil or acrylic or watercolour, of which broke down further into genres of urban and natural landscape, still life, and portraiture. There were occasional moments of abstraction and expressionism, but not many.
I decided that my mission as juror that year would be to seek out and reward any examples of risk taking.
Imagine my surprise when I came upon an oil painting of a lush backyard garden, which upon first glance seemed unremarkable until I read the label: 'Demise amid the Flowers'. The title was so staggering that when I looked back at the painting I was struck by the way its heavy colours evoked a subtly looming feeling of dread and claustrophobia. It caused me to study the work deeply enough to discover the trace of a human figure, a girl, tucked into the foliage, barely perceptible.
Who or what was facing demise? The girl? Her innocence? Had the artist decided to confront a memory of an assault (or murder), I wondered? Was this a quiet, yet deeply personal exploration? Or had the artist submitted this work as a fictional provocation against the otherwise conservative nature of this juried exhibition? With not much more than the title and some slight clues within the picture, this artist had completely challenged the tone of an otherwise polite exhibition.
I advocated deeply that this painting be considered one of the prize winners for the year.
At the opening reception, I had a chance to congratulate the artist on her work (my deep apologies for not being able to remember her name). She was a tiny, older woman who seemed delighted at the attention. She took my arm and lead me to the painting, and said 'do you see her? Do you see the little girl hidden in bushes there?
The next morning I went and corrected the mistake on the label. I attached it beside the painting, a painting for which my heart no longer held any feeling. I had a learned a valuable lesson.

Kiwanis Club of Atlantic City Records
Title: Kiwanis Club of Atlantic City Records
Extent: 13.2 cubic feet
Preferred Citation: Kiwanis Club of Atlantic City Records, Atlantic City Heritage Collections, Atlantic City Free Public Library.
Creator: Kiwanis Club of Atlantic City (1920-2014)
Biographical/Historical Note:
The Kiwanis International organization was founded in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan. The organization operates on a platform of service to communities both local and worldwide, with special emphasis on benefitting children. The Atlantic City chapter of Kiwanis International was formed on October 14, 1920, followed by a "Charter Night" celebration on November 18th, after the chapter was signed into approval in Michigan.
The Atlantic City Kiwanis Club soon became one of the most prominent in the entire organization, hosting six conventions of Kiwanis International over the years. The Club also sponsored the founding of eight new Kiwanis Clubs in the towns of Ocean City, Pleasantville, Egg Harbor City, Hammonton, Millville, Camden, Vineland, and Phillipsburg. Atlantic City's Kiwanis chapter maintained a membership of 100-180 persons throughout most of its history. Women were permitted to join the organization beginning in 1986.
Some of the many services the club provided to the City of Atlantic City included the cleaning of roads in the city and county, the painting of promotional slogans on water pipes leading into Atlantic City, cooperative efforts with the South Jersey Food Bank, working on the Texas Avenue Salvation Army building, holding several award and scholarship ceremonies, and myriad services to children and especially special needs students in Atlantic City. The Kiwanis Club was also greatly responsible for the founding of Gardner's Basin as a cultural center.
After 94 years of service to the local community, the Kiwanis Club of Atlantic City dissolved in November 2014 due to the aging of its members and a lack of new membership.
Shortly before disbanding, members Tom Keck and Bill McGinley donated the Kiwanis Club's archives to the Atlantic City Free Public Library in October 2014. These archives include club records such as meeting minutes, roster books, and club histories, as well as several scrapbooks of photo and newspaper articles pertaining to the club's members and activities. There are also many photographs documenting the club's varied service projects, including work with the Special Olympics, scholarships given to Atlantic City High School students, donations to local charity and care organizations, and even trips abroad.
The club's records also include several physical materials from the club's history, including their bell and gavel, club banners from different eras, several award ribbons and patches, and the Kiwanis sign which hung outside Hackney's Restaurant, where the club held their weekly meetings for many years.
The materials in the collection span from the Club's initial chartering in 1920, up to their dissolution in 2014.
The collection is arranged according to the following series:
Series 1 – Photographs
Series 2 – Scrapbooks
Series 3 – Club Records and Histories
Series 4 – Objects
To accommodate for space restrictions, materials from two or more series may be stored in the same box. The Photographs series is arranged chronologically where possible, with undated photos grouped in separate folders nearest to the decade they are thought to be from. Another box of oversized photos dates from 1920s-1950s, but is not arranged chronologically. Five rolled photos dating 1920s-1950s are also separated from the rest of the Photos series to allow them the necessary space. A small box of slide photographs is arranged by events but not chronologically as information about the events depicted is limited. The Club Records and Histories series includes many copies of newspaper articles and documents relating to club events. These items have also been grouped chronologically where possible. Scrapbooks and Objects are grouped based on size and space allotted only.

Q: Is there any rule for nonexistent limits? I have 2 questions when dealing with nonexistent limits:
Q1: If $\lim\limits_{x\to a} f(x)=L\neq 0$ and $\lim\limits_{x\to a}g(x)$ does not exist, then is it correct to conclude that $\lim\limits_{x\to a} f(x)g(x)$ does not exist ?
I feel the statement true but fail to prove. I tried using Cauchy test for divergence but it did not work. I appreciate your help.
Q2: Suppose $\lim\limits_{x\to a} f(x)=b$ and $\lim\limits_{y\to b}g(y)$ does not exist. I could find examples in which $\lim\limits_{x\to a} g(f(x))$ exists or does not exist. My question is when does it diverge ? What are conditions needed to imply that $\lim\limits_{x\to a} g(f(x))$ does not exist ?

A: Q1: Yes, this is valid.  To see this, write $h(x)=f(x)g(x)$.  If $\lim h(x)$ existed, then since $\lim f(x)$ exists and is not $0$, this would imply $\lim h(x)/f(x)$ exists.  But $h(x)/f(x)=g(x)$, and we know $\lim g(x)$ does not exist!  Thus $\lim h(x)$ cannot exist.
Q2: You can conclude that $\lim g(f(x))$ does not exist if $f$ is open at $a$.  This means that for any open interval $(d,e)$ containing $a$, the image $f((d,e))$ contains an open interval around $b$.  Roughly speaking, this says that $f(x)$ takes every possible value near $b$ as $x$ approaches $a$.  One more concrete condition that implies $f$ is open at $a$ is that $f$ is continuous on an open interval containing $a$ and has neither a local maximum nor a local minimum at $a$.

Zac Efron Says It Was "Almost Impossible" To Separate Himself From Ted Bundy
As in Ted Bundy, the serial killer
At the premiere of Zac Efron's upcoming film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, the actor admitted that he had a really hard time separating himself from his character. That wouldn't be so anxiety-inducing if his character wasn't serial killer Ted Bundy.
In an interview with Daily Mail, Efron said that he had difficulty leaving his character on set. "I've never played a role in which I really have to separate myself from when I go home at night, and it was almost impossible," he said. "I'd like to say that I did it successfully, but I couldn't." Ummm. Given the character, we're hoping that he simply means that he has never had to play someone so different from himself.
Zac Efron's Web Of Lies Starts To Unravel In New Ted Bundy Film Trailer
And sees Lily Collins struggling to believe him
Later in the interview, Efron noted that he "wasn't interested in playing a serial killer," but felt that this film was different because of "the way we went into the psyche of Ted, and his longtime girlfriend Liz (Lily Collins)." "It's a different perspective and not your run-of-the-mill serial killer cliché... This is what it was like to be there on the day, we didn't know if he was innocent or guilty, we just saw Ted Bundy through their eyes," he said.
Given that it's been quite a while since the movie was filmed, we're hoping that he's far enough away from the role now that none of Bundy's tendencies still linger.

Brisbane's Apartment Oversupply: What Does It Mean For Property Investors And Real Estate Agents?
Over the past few years, Brisbane's apartment market has undergone many changes due to global economic events and local market movements. From apartment undersupply to an all-time development high, the city is now experiencing an oversupply of apartments. We discuss what the Brisbane apartment market currently looks like, and what it means for property investors and real estate agents.
What Does Brisbane's Apartment Market Currently Look Like?
Median house and unit prices suggest that price growth has slowed in Brisbane's apartment market. But, whilst price growth is cooling, apartment demand has not showed signs of slowing down. Currently, new inner-city apartment buildings are experiencing close to 100% sales prior to completion. As well, apartment gross yields remain strong at 4.8%, still outperforming houses by over 1.5% per annum.
Brisbane's new inner-city apartment vacancy rate remains at 3.3%, which equates to an average of 9 days vacancy per year. With new apartments having shorter vacancy rates than older units, tenants are clearly opting for new over old. Saying this, off-the-plan high-rise apartment investors may still experience long waiting periods for tenants once the building is built.
As the Brisbane property market currently stands, investors will have to go further outside of the CBD if they want to purchase a house over an apartment. For example, if your client has a $500,000 budget, they could afford to buy an apartment within 5-minutes of the city, or a house 30-minutes outside of the CBD. Houses and apartments are also experiencing different growth rates depending on their proximity to the CBD. For example, your client will receive 4% annual growth on a house located 30-minutes outside of the city, whereas they would receive 6% annual growth on an apartment located in inner-city Brisbane. Given the current property market, in this instance, the client's apartment would be valued at $508,000 more than the house after 20 years.
Brisbane's high-rise apartments have been growing at a rate of 34% to 43% each census since 2001. This year alone, Brisbane has had 9,000 new apartments supplied, which is a massive 200% increase since 2015. As a result, Brisbane currently has a huge supply of new apartments, and is evidently oversupplied in popular inner-city suburbs such as Fortitude Valley, Newstead and West End.
However, over the past 12 months, there has been a large reduction in apartment building approvals as more developers have become fearful of the current market. At the moment, 38% of projects with development approval have been deferred indefinitely. Larger developers are even opting to land bank and sell existing projects as they fear getting stuck with a partial apartment development. This is now contributing to Brisbane's stalling apartment price growth in the densely populated suburbs.
Is Brisbane Still A Good City To Invest In?
Some experts say that Brisbane is a good market to invest in if you buy house and land, but not an apartment. They recommend holding off investing in Brisbane for the next two years as there are currently too many apartments being built and too many on the market, with over 15,000 still awaiting council approvals. Other experts believe that most inner to middle-city Brisbane suburbs are in fact undersupplied with new boutique-style apartments or townhouses. These types of properties are easy to rent, generate high net yields and high growth rates, and are within most investors' budgets, which presents an opportunity for agents if they can find and list these properties.
At the moment, there is still a huge demand for investors and owner-occupiers wanting to buy close to the CBD. If yields meet cash-flow requirements and the asset achieves the highest growth rates possible, property investors will continue to buy in Brisbane and agents will need to help them achieve the best possible outcomes. As such, whilst an apartment oversupply is evident, Brisbane still presents many good investment opportunities if property investors and real estate agents conduct their research.

Whatever moves you, you want to tell: Deepa Mehta
New Delhi: Boldness may be nudity for Bollywood. But for Indo-Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta, being bold simply means bringing heart-touching stories on screen without worrying about the consequences.
"I think you can't become too self-conscious about being bold. I think if I ever said that 'I want to make a film, which is bold', it would ruin the reason for making a film. The only reason one should make a film is because you care deeply for the project and I have said this often earlier… that it is always the stories that move me," Mehta said here in a group interview.
Ready with "Midnight's Children", a movie adaptation of controversial author Salman Rushdie's eponymous Booker Prize-winning novel, Mehta says she has never been fearful. The movie was screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala earlier this month.
The same was the case when she dealt with the subject of lesbian relations in "Fire" in 1996, or when the lives of widows in pre-independence India motivated her to make "Water" in 2005.
Her state of mind for "Midnight's Children", which takes cues from historical facts of British colonialism in India to independence and the partition of India in 1947, was similar.
"Whether the stories are difficult or easy, it is all a process of exploration. And I think that anybody who wants to make films should only do so if they feel very passionately for the stories. Whatever moves you, you want to tell," she said.
"Who knows what is controversial or not – I don't think anyone can ever write down that 'xyz' can be controversial. I never thought so when I set out to tell a story about widows… it was a story told before through Raj Kapoor's 'Prem Rog' (1982). Nothing happened back then.
"(So clearly one wonders) Is it about the subject or about people using politics? It is very complicated, and I think I do the films that I do because I love the stories, and I feel that holds true for all the people who are doing these (controversial) films now. I am sure a person who does a 'Dabangg 2' also believes in his work. So it (boldness) is just about that."
For "Midnight's Children", which will be released in India by PVR Pictures in February next year, the 62-year-old has already courted a bit of flak – for showcasing former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in poor light, as well as for showing the Indian map sans Jammu and Kashmir. But Mehta is unmoved.
"At this moment, I would like to focus on the fact that today 'Midnight's Children' has gone through the censor board without one cut, and that is amazing. The fact that PVR is taking pains to make this available to the audiences is wonderful. I didn't have such support with 'Fire', 'Earth' and 'Water'," she said.
Mehta has other reasons to be happy as well – the changing face of Indian movies.
"There are a few films that I saw this year ; 'Shanghai' and 'Gangs Of Wasseypur', were fascinating – their conceptual drive was interesting. I am a big fan of Vishal Bhardwaj and I am looking forward to seeing his new film, because the fact is that all these projects are turning the concept of cinema in India upside down.
"The fact that they can actually be seen in theatres and not just online or through pirated mediums is fabulous. It shows that there is a maturity in the need and desire for consumption of good cinema. And there are some really great things I have seen in current Indian cinema. Also, the fact that they have gone through the censors and there hasn't been much brouhaha about it is great. And to top it, producers are willing to take the risk and put them out," Mehta added.

Q: yii2 How to order via relation by COUNT? I have a organizers, which do tournaments where a player can participate.
So I have the tables organizer, tournament, participation, player.
I made a relation in the organizer model that gives me all players who ever payer in a tournament organized by that organizer.
    public function getTournaments()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Tournament::className(), ['organizer' => 'id'])->where(['hasBeenAudited' => 1]);
    }

    public function getParticipations()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Participation::className(), ['tournament' => 'id'])
            ->via('tournament')->where(['didShowUp' => 1]);
    }

    public function getPlayers() {
        return $this->hasMany(Player::className(), ['id' => 'player'])
            ->via('participation');
    }

So now I can do $model->players and retrieve all players that have ever played for that organization.
I now would like to order $model->players according to the number of tournaments a player has played for that organization, so that the player who has played the most tournaments for the organization will show up at the top.
How do I do that?

A: You neet to do 'group by' query. Try something like this
$model->getPlayers()
  ->with('tournaments')
  ->select(['organization.name', 'player.name'])
  ->groupBy(['organization.name', 'player.name'])
  ->orderBy(['count(tournaments.id)'=>SORT_DESC])
  ->all();

Pregnant Katy Perry Says She's Hoping for a Girl During Melbourne Performance
Katy Perry celebrated International Women's Day with a performance at the Women's Cricket World Cup Final in Melbourne, Australia, on Sunday -- and she's hoping next year, she'll be able to celebrate it with a baby girl.
The American Idol judge, who is expecting her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom, told the crowd at Sunday's event that she's hoping for a daughter. Bloom is already dad to a son, 9-year-old Flynn, whom he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
"I hope it's a girl," Perry confessed during her song, "Wide Awake," while pointing to her burgeoning baby bump. The crowd quickly erupted in screams, with Perry letting out a huge smile and continuing with her performance.

Perry announced her pregnancy on Wednesday in her "Never Worn White" music video, as it ended with a gorgeous shot of her cradling her baby bump. After the video dropped, she confirmed the news in an Instagram Live session, where she also revealed that she is due in the summer.
The next day, Perry explained in an interview with SiriusXM's Mikey Piff that the timing felt right to start a family with Bloom.
"Well, it wasn't on accident," she shared. "I'm so grateful for everything that I have been able to do and achieve and all the goals that I've been kind of able to check off my list and dreams and the life I've lived thus far, and I think I've just been trying to create this space in my own life where I'm not running myself too ragged and like, you know, creating space for something new to happen like this."
"I think we were both looking forward to this new interval of life and sharing this," she continued. "So, that's kind of how it happens, you know?"

Book of Mormon: new musical comedy to bow Mar 2011
The Book Of Mormon, a new original musical comedy from "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Avenue Q composer and co-creator Robert Lopez, will premiere on Broadway in Mar 2011. The world premiere will be directed by Jason Moore and Trey Parker.
Parker and Stone's landmark animated television series "South Park" celebrates its 200th episode this week. "South Park" premiered on Comedy Central in 1997. Parker and Stone have won four Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for the controversial, critically acclaimed series.
Their credits also include the films, "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" and "Team America: World Police."
The team co-wrote the musical numbers for "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut." Parker received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for his music and lyrics for "Blame Canada" from the musical's score. The New York Film Critics Circle also honored "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" with the organization's first award ever presented for Best Animated Film.
Parker and Stone make their Broadway musical writing debut with The Book Of Mormon.
Parker and Stone said, "Growing up in Colorado, a lot of our friends were Mormons and we always thought their book would make a great musical. We loved 'Avenue Q' and are having a blast working with Bobby Lopez. Having a show on Broadway is a dream come true for us and we can't wait to share The Book Of Mormon with everyone."
Robert Lopez is co-creator, composer and lyricist for 'Avenue Q,' which won 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score and received a Grammy nomination for its Original Cast Album. Avenue Q played for six years on Broadway and is currently running Off-Broadway and in London.
Lopez said "It has been such a thrill to get to work with two guys I've always admired so much, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Their "South Park" movie musical is beloved within the Broadway community - it was certainly one of my biggest influences writing 'Avenue Q.' It's been a lot of work and a lot of laughs, and I'm so excited by the show. It really is in many senses a big traditional musical comedy, with, as you might expect, untraditional subject matter. I can't wait to see how Broadway audiences are going to react when they experience it."
Jason Moore has been represented on Broadway with 'Avenue Q,' 'Steel Magnolias' and 'Shrek, The Musical.' He directed 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' at Carnegie Hall. His Off-Broadway credits include 'Avenue Q '(New World Stages, Vineyard), 'Speech and Debate' (Roundabout), 'Guardians' (the Culture Project) and 'The Crumple Zone.'
The Book Of Mormon will be produced by Scott Rudin and Anne Garefino.
Theatre, cast and additional creative team will be announced at a later date.


One month ago we adopted a dog, named Teddy by one of my kids.
Neither my husband nor I have ever owned a dog before. So this is a learning adventure for all of us.
We adopted Teddy from a private rescue organization that brings dogs from high-kill shelters to the Seattle area. He came from Nevada. According to the shelter documents his breed is "border collie mix." Since we brought him home I've learned what that basically means is "black and white dog." There could be some border collie in his genes. But likely there's some bull-dog or pit-bull and maybe even some great dane in there also.
Teddy weighs 75 pounds, so he's pretty big. He's a very sweet guy, calm most of the time, and loves belly rubs and squeaky toys. He's learning to walk on a leash, but still tends to forget everything when he sees (or smells) a rabbit or squirrel – critters we have in abundance around here. We are still keeping him separate from our two cats, who are both rather unimpressed with the newest member of the family.

Lilium xanthellum () ist eine Art aus der Gattung der Lilien (Lilium) in der Asiatischen Sektion. Sie ist erst 1986 das erste Mal beschrieben worden.

Beschreibung
Lilium xanthellum erreicht eine Wuchshöhe von 35 bis 55 cm. Die Zwiebeln sind vier bis fünf cm groß und gelb.

Der Stängel ist eher zart, er ist dicht mit kleinen Schuppen überzogen, die mit bloßem Auge nicht zu sehen sind. Die Blätter sind linealisch (grasartig), bis zu 8 mm lang und bis zu 0,3 mm breit, der Rand leicht umgebogen und papillös. Sie sind frei um den Stängel verteilt.

Die Pflanze blüht im Juni mit einer einzelnen Blüte oder einem Blütenpaar. Die zwittrigen Blüten sind dreizählig. Die sechs gleichgestalteten Blütenblätter (Tepalen) sind stark zurückgebogen (türkenbundform) und bis zu 6 mm lang. Die Grundfarbe der Blüten ist gelblich mit oder ohne purpurnen Punkten. Jede Blüte enthält drei Fruchtblätter und sechs Staubblätter. Die Pollen sind braun und die Filamente grün. Der Samen keimt sofortig-epigäisch.
