Theatre of Voices is een vocaal ensemble dat is opgericht in 1990 en dat zich concentreert op zowel oude muziek als eigentijdse klassieke muziek. De leden van de groep, die in de Verenigde Staten haar basis heeft, komen zowel uit Amerika als uit Engeland.

Geschiedenis
Het Theatre of Voices werd opgericht door Paul Hillier als een middel om meer hedendaagse muziek te kunnen maken, toen zijn groep, het Hilliard Ensemble, zich steeds meer ging richten op de oude muziek. Hillier begon met de groep toen hij docent was aan de University of California. Ze hebben samengewerkt met een aantal moderne componisten, zoals Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt en John Adams. Ze verzorgden de première van Reich's  opera The Cave samen met Steve Reich en zijn groep, en diens compositie Proverb (1995) was speciaal voor het Theatre of Voices geschreven; ook de première van John Adams'  El Niño (waarvan de dvd een Grammy won), werd door hen verzorgd. Ze maakten opnamen bij Harmonia Mundi USA en maakten internationale tournees. Hun opname van Pärt's De profundis stond in de Billboard Top Tien voor Albums. Het lidmaatschap van de groep berust op de noodzaak van de specifieke projecten waar ze aan werken, maar de leden zoals ze hieronder staan vermeld zijn eigenlijk altijd wel op de een of andere manier betrokken.

Leden
Ellen Hargis - sopraan
Steven Rickards - contratenor
Paul Elliott - tenor
Alan Bennett - tenor
Paul Hillier -  bariton
Christopher Bowers-Broadbent - orgel

1. Patience Inc. just got paid a dividend of $2.35 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 4.5% per year, indefinitely. If investors require an 11% return on this stock, what is the current price? What will the price be in 3 years? In 15 years?
2. The next dividend payment by Moss Co. will be $2.45 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 5.5% growth rate, forever. If the stock currently sells for $48.50 per share, what is the required return?
3. For the company in the previous problem, what is the dividend yield? What is the expected capital gains yield?
4. Ziggs Corp. will pay a $3.85 per share dividend next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 4.75 percent per year, indefinitely. If you require a 12% return on your investment, how much will you pay for the company's stock today?
5. B Inc. is expected to maintain a constant 5.8 percent growth rate in its dividends, indefinitely. If the company has a dividend yield of 4.3%, what is the required return on the company's stock?
6. Suppose you know that a company's stock currently sells for $65 per share and the required return on the stock is 11%. You also know that the total return on the stock is evenly divided between capital gains yield and dividend yield. If it's the company's policy to always maintain a constant growth rate in its dividends, what is the current dividend per share?
8 years and will then cease paying dividends forever. If the required return on this stock is 9% what is the current share price?
8. Gesto Inc. has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays $4.50 dividend every year, in perpetuity. If the issue currently sells for $79.85 per share, what is the required return?
9. The stock price of Jenkins Co. is $53. Investors require a 12% rate of return on similar stocks. If the company plans to pay a dividend of $3.15 next year, what growth rate is expected for the company's stock price?
10. G.com has a new issue of preferred stock it calls 20/20 preferred. The stock will pay a $20.00 dividend per year, but the first dividend will not be paid until 20 years from today. If you require a 7% return on this stock, how much should you pay today?
11. Alex Corp. will pay a dividend of $2.60 next year. The company has stated that it will maintain a constant growth rate of 4.5% a year forever. If you want 15% rate of return, how much will you pay for the stock? What is you want a 10% rate of return? What does this tell you about the relationship between the required return and the stock price?
The solution examines stock, dividends and financial ratios.

The future of expansion at Los Angeles International Airport

Business Update with Mark Lacter | June 4, 2013
KPCC's business analyst Mark Lacter says expanding Los Angeles International Airport was an issue during the LA mayor's race... and it's not going away anytime soon.
Susanne Whatley: New lawsuits have been filed, Mark. What's the story behind this headline?
Mark Lacter: Actually, that could have been the headline 10 or 20 years ago, Susanne - it just shows you how hard it's been to make changes at the airport, even though everyone agrees that changes are badly needed. This latest lawsuit has the cities of Ontario, Inglewood, and Culver City challenging a new project recently approved by the L.A. City Council. It would move the northernmost runway 260 feet closer to Westchester (but still within the confines of the LAX property). They'd use the extra space for a center taxiway that would make it easier and safer for those larger planes to maneuver (the current configuration was designed for much smaller planes, like the old 707). The project also adds terminal space and a car rental facility, but it's the runway that's been the source of the controversy.
Whatley: Neighborhood groups worry about the noise, of course; and now that Eric Garcetti won the election, what's his stance?
Lacter: Garcetti is opposed to moving the runway, and that position won him the support of voters in the area. So now, he has to stick to that opposition, but still push for the other projects. As for the lawsuit, it ensures further delays in the modernization effort. Under the best of scenarios, you're looking at several years before they even begin construction.
Whatley: If everyone agrees that the airport needs work, why all the delays?
Lacter: You have to pull back, Susanne - back to the 1940s when real estate developers were allowed to build homes on land that was close to what is now the runway. Remember that in those years, the area around the airport was a major center for airplane manufacturing, and the folks working in those factories liked the idea of living nearby. The problem is that when air travel exploded, there was no room for expansion. (Back in the 60s, there was a big push for having a major airport in the Antelope Valley and you can see how far that went.) The good news is that LAX has undergone any number of improvements in recent years, most notably the expansion of the Bradley international terminal that will be fully completed next year. That alone is a big deal.
Whatley: If LAX is bursting, wouldn't it make sense to add more flights out of Ontario?
Lacter: Well, city officials in Ontario would like to know the answer to that one. Ontario Airport is operated by the city of L.A. (has been going back to the 1960s), and in recent years passenger levels have been plunging. Now, the assumption has been that it was tough economic times in the Inland Empire that caused a drop in demand, and that might have been true during the recession, but it's not true now. Part of why Ontario is such a ghost town is that the airlines have focused more on LAX, which brings up another big reason for bypassing Ontario: it's too expensive for them to fly there. That's because landing fees and other operating costs are among the highest in the country.
Whatley: Does that mean fares are higher than at LAX?
Lacter: It does - that's the only way they can make money on Ontario routes. Actually, that works on flights that are heavy on business travelers. But, leisure travelers don't want to pay that much - even if it means driving 40 or 50 miles to LAX.
Whatley: The city of Ontario sued yesterday...
Lacter: Right, it alleges that the city of L.A. has mismanaged the airport and wants to take over operations. L.A. officials say they are interested in cutting a deal, but the two sides have been miles apart in negotiations. The next step is likely to be Garcetti's - he's spoken about the importance of regional air service (which sounds nice), but is more easily said than done because LAX - for all the complaints - remains the airport of choice for many travelers. So, whoever ends up with Ontario will have to figure out how to convince the airlines that it's worth their while to add more flights at lower fares.

Star Wars Explained Exactly How Palpatine Survived His Return Of The Jedi Fall

The Skywalker Saga came to an end with J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and the conversation around the blockbuster hasn't slowed down since. In the months following Episode IX's run in theaters, plenty of exciting tidbits have arrived from interviews, comic books, and the movie's novelization. The Rise of Skywalker's book greatly expanded upon the story, and answered the myriad questions that weren't quite answered throughout its 142-minute runtime. Palpatine's resurrection was a bit of a head scratcher, and now we know exactly how he managed to survive that fall in Return of the Jedi.
Palpatine was seemingly killed in the third act of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, with Darth Vader being redeemed shortly before his death. It was previously revealed that the Emperor we saw in The Rise of Skywalker was a clone, but now we know exactly how his consciousness managed to survive his apparent death aboard the second Death Star. As Episode IX's novel explained:
Plagueis had not acted fast enough in his own moment of death. But Sidious, sensing the flickering light in his apprentice, had been ready for years. So the falling, dying Emperor called on all the dark power of the Force to thrust his consciousness far, far away, to a secret place he had been preparing. His body was dead, an empty vessel, long before it found the bottom of the shaft, and his mind jolted to a new awareness in a new body - a painful one, a temporary one.
It looks like Sheev Palpatine has been planning for his unexpected death throughout his life. In addition to crafting clones of himself, he was also prepared in a mysterious Sith ritual which allowed him to catapult his consciousness away from his physical form and into another. The Light Side doesn't practice this type of sorcery, but The Emperor was strong in the ways of the Dark Side.
Star Wars fans can re-watch the Skywalker Saga on Disney+. You can use this link for a free 7-day trial to the streaming service.
The above excerpt from Rise of the Skywalker's book (via Screen Rant) answers one of the final questions about Palpatine's role in Episode IX. The movie didn't go into much detail regarding the how and when of The Emperor's mysterious resurrection. He wasn't seen for a number of years, and it was unlikely that he managed to escape the second Death Star alive before its destruction.
As a reminder, you can watch Palpatine's original death scene below.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker didn't show or explain but, it turns out that Palpatine projected his mind outside of his body during that long fall, dying before his body ever hit the ground. Always a planner, The Emperor had already constructed the clone of himself that would ultimately pop up in Episode IX.
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Set Photo Reveals Rey On Palpatine's Throne
J.J. Abrams' decision to bring back Palpatine was originally a controversial one, but it certainly helped The Rise of Skywalker connect to the previous two trilogies. The Emperor is the architect behind all the evil of the franchise, so it stands to reason that he might be behind the events of the sequel movies as well.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is available via video on demand, and will arrive on DVD and Blu-ray on March 31st. In the meantime, check out our 2020 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

Brooke leads a panel discussion on whether or not children should play with toy guns in light of recent gun violence in America.
In my personal opinion I think some children's minds are to innocent to comprehend what's going on in the world. I think it depends on the parents/guardian of the child and how they perceive their children playing with them. I held a real gun when I was about 10 years old and I didn't comprehend the harm in it but times have changed. There are more ways to figure things out on your own now a days then they where back in my childhood days.
And while we're at it, let's ban water balloons and garden hoses., they may develop an unhealthy desire to use hand-grenades and flame-throwers!
We need to ban everything.. guns, knifes, bats, balls, rocks, hammer, shovels, forks, spoons,sprays, fire, meds, wood, nails, shocks, ropes,any kind of belts, car's , trains, bikes, scooters, don't forget paper and pen's, and those darn hands we need to get rid of them for some reason they make a fist and hit things i don't know why but their no good and feet too they just start kicking and stomping on things for no reason , us humans sure didn't make them do it. Any thing and every thing that can hurt some one some how. Humans don't hurt, nope all these other things come alive and kill by themselves. Just like a gun puts its own ammo in it and pulls it's trigger all by its self. We deffently need to get rid of the brain because it hurts peopel by just thinking, O wait a lot of people have already lost their brains some where, just don't pick it up if you find it , it could kill ya.

Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers from AHS Apocalypse Episode 7.
Director of the week, Jennifer Lynch, has really ranged in her artistic cinematic techniques ranging from picture shows to the 70's style. This week's episode follows the witches in their preparation for the pre-apocalyptic war as they struggle against not only Michael but also against the warlocks. Apparently, in this scenario, it is either 'kill or be killed.' We also learn that our beloved Cordelia (Sarah Paulson), despite being a powerful supreme, is in need of a lot of help in order to combat the Antichrist. The first helper being our voodoo queen, Dinah (Adina Porter), who begins the episode by using dark magic to gruesomely take a person's heart. Lynch creatively displays this scene through the use of flash frames, which creates a suspense surrounding the upcoming scene.
Following on, as the rest of the witches at the academy are filled in about the situation with Michael (Cody Fern), Cordelia goes on to summon a potential helper with Dinah's help. Welcome back, Papa Legba (Lance Reddick) and Nan (Jamie Brewer)? Last time we encountered these two characters was during Coven, and now they are both back, and are probably friends? I have to take a moment to comment on how creative Legba's makeup is, which is complemented with the blood red eye contacts- his appearance fittingly compliments his title as being the gatekeeper of hell. Papa Legba proposes, in a very French accent, that in return for doing Cordelia a favor, he wants the souls of all the witches (Cordelia's alone is not enough). No deal, this price is just not in Cordelia's interest. (Smart move Cordelia… now you have to deal with the 6 billion lives at stake, including your witches).
On the next expedition to find another helper, Lynch artistically presents the beginning of a 70's looking show about a murderous Santa, which features Bubbles (Joan Collins) as an actress (who we later find out has magical abilities to read minds). It impresses me that in an anthology series as such, the actors successfully perform multiple characters in a convincing way, making us completely forget about the character that they previously played (literally a few days ago). Take Joan Collins, for instance, she has successfully portrayed two characters just in this season- one being a snobbish rich lady (Evie Gallant), and the other character being an arrogant, fading actress (Bubbles McGee). Ongoing, Lynch continues to explore cinematic techniques through reprising the noir picture show short from a previous episode, which now displays Mallory (Billie Lourd) taking part in the test of 7 wonders, instead of Michael.
Now, I would like to take some time to talk a little about Cordelia, who I think, aside from Michael, is one of the most interesting characters. Adam Penn has not only followed her character as a dying supreme, but has gone on to extend her backstory by giving us intel on how she almost died in an effort to bring back Myrtle (Frances Conroy) to life- which is gruesomely shown as her hands realistically burns while she casts her spell (It is clear that the AHS group has hired an amazing makeup department). Penn also goes on to display how corrupted Miriam's (Kathy Bates) character is as she describes the idea of burning alive as 'satisfactory' as she claims that the 'fire cleanses (her) and will this world.' Furthermore, we all got to experience some comedy whilst finding out that Coco (Leslie Grossman) is not only a gluten detector but has developed her powers into becoming a calorie detector! I think it is safe to say, that her character is becoming more likeable in contrast to her first appearance in this season.
This week's episode hasn't quite reached the hype of last weeks "Return to Murder House" episode, but still succeeded in reaching a 9/10 rating on IMDb and has been equally informative and satisfying with its range of cinematic techniques and amazing acting. The only thing I will criticize about this week's episode would be the music! I feel that in this weeks episode, music was only used to create a suspense and eerie vibe, however, there could have been so much more creativity used in regards to music and particular scenes. From the promo of the next week's episode, we can expect that the supernatural war to truly begin, whilst finding out about Michael's whereabouts in the last few episodes.


While the amusement parks and attractions industry has grown over recent years, largely driven by an increase in international and domestic visitor numbers and rising consumer spending, so too have concerns over safety, due unfortunately to fatal accidents.
These rising concerns have led to stringent new safety standards with government regulators, parks, and ride manufacturers looking to successfully control corrosion on rides and make corrosion inspection a critical and fundamental part of a park's maintenance operation.
This industry depends on technological expertise as well as a wide variety of applications, including protective coatings. For decades, many industries have looked to NACE for its respected and globally recognized Coating Inspector Program. It stands ready to partner with the amusement parks and attractions industry as it acknowledges the importance of visual inspection for catching, repairing, and preventing corrosion.
Corrosion Technical Series "Corrosion Failures"
Dutch amusement rides manufacturer KMG Europe BV (Neede, The Netherlands) says excessive corrosion was responsible for the "catastrophic failure" of an amusement park ride on July 26 at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, Ohio.
PPG Industries' (NYSE:PPG) protective and marine coatings (PMC) business announced it is supplying as much as 700 gallons of paint to refurbish the Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster at Luna Park, which is regarded as one of the world's most famous amusement park rides.
This book is the first ever 'real' or 'true' corrosion management reference book published today for the non-hydrocarbon industries.
This book examines the various mechanisms and forms of corrosion, the prevention and control of corrosion through the use of protective coatings, cathodic protection, and corrosion control by design.
This edition of this classic text is based on notes used by the authors for more than a decade in their course, The Corrosion and Protection of Metals.
This book provides general coverage of the wide field of corrosion control. It is designed to help readers being initiated into corrosion work and presents each corrosion process or control procedure in the most basic terms.
Copper and aluminum alloys are widely used in marine engineering in areas such as pipelines, storage tanks, ships' hulls, and cladding for offshore structures.
CUI(Corrosion Under Insulation) is worldwide problem. CUI on carbon steel occurs with water and oxygen and is accelerated by iron rust halogen ion and the conductivity. That mechanism is analyzed more quantitatively to understand the degree of corrosion influence. By using this mechanism the author applied to the actual plants to find it is correct.But some irregular corrosion occurred and is considered why it occurs by means of the investigation of the corrosion samples.
This book examines factors weighed in the design phase of a project for preventing equipment repair or replacement due to corrosion.
CUI is the most expensive problem in the corrosion history due to their highly corrosive conditions and the limited visual access by thermal jackets. In general CUI is caused by water leakages from the thermal jackets. Visual inspections of steel pipes and tanks by removing the thermal jackets are most reliable way to find CUI locations at present.

Andrew Nembhard: Harder, better, faster, stronger
Andrew Nembhard caught a pass on the left wing at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ont., one day before the FIBA U18 Americas tournament was set to begin, and calmly drilled a three.
His squad ran the play three times more, and he launched daggers from the same spot.
Bucket.
The opposing squad took the ball and played until it missed a shot.
Then Nembhard, a wily veteran at 18 and captain of Team Canada, took over again.
He was, in the brief stretches open to media, exactly what a captain should be: assertive on offence, tenacious on defence, level-headed throughout.
Nembhard is quiet but confident and well-spoken, a five-star recruit known as much for the strength of his character as for his impressive skill set.
This is exactly the kind of role he ought to be in, guiding an elite team as it tries to qualify for the 2019 FIBA U19 World Cup.
But there were no guarantees he would be here at all.
A little more than a year ago, Nembhard, a star point guard at Montverde Academy near Orlando, fell ill and was rushed into surgery at a Florida hospital.
He was reportedly dealing with volvulus, a twisting of the intestines that causes an intestinal obstruction. Doctors removed a portion of his intestines, and he went into septic shock.
"Going through it, you don't think you're going to die," said Nembhard in an interview with BasketballBuzz.
"You just kind of go through it with a positive mindset. Other people around me—especially my father [Claude], was keeping a really positive mindset with me.
"We were always talking about how I'm going to be back on the court really soon, how everything's going to be fine."
Within a few months he was back with Montverde, helping fellow Canadian R.J. Barrett lift the team to a 35-0 record and a national U.S. high school championship.

Now he's here, Captain Canada, ready to take on the world.
"I just feel blessed, and just grateful that I had such a great supporting cast around me when I was going through a tough time," he said.
"And I think all these blessings that have come to me [are] because I've been working hard. [With] the support of others, I've gotten to this point."
Nembhard is a key player on a Canadian team favoured to contend in and possibly win the U18 Americas tournament, likely with Team USA as its toughest competition.
There are just four returnees from Canada's 2017 World Cup team, which won a gold medal with Barrett, the continent's top-rated high school player, leading the way.
Barrett is preparing for his freshman season at Duke University, and absent from the 2018 Americas tourney. The only returning players are Emanuel Miller, Joel Brown, Tyrese Samuel and Jaden Bediako.
A healthy Nembhard would likely have been part of the 2017 World Cup team, and he admitted he would have loved to play on it.

But now he's here, gunning for a championship, ready to lead.
"Over the last couple of years I'm really trying to improve my leadership skills, both vocally and by example," he said.
"I'm more of a quiet guy, but I think over the years I've kind of come out of my shell a little more.
"I feel like I'm being much more vocal now. I'm really comfortable with this group of guys. I feel like I can be myself."
Michael Meeks, Canada Basketball's manager of men's youth player development and an assistant coach with the U18 team, has said the team has a target on its back, and Nembhard acknowledged that's likely the case with Team USA.
"I feel like it's good pressure, though," he said. "I feel like we're all motivated to win another one.
"We just want to work harder and harder and try to be the best in the world."

This fall, Nembhard will suit up for the Florida Gators, a team looking to replace senior point guard Chris Chiozza, the school's all-time assists leader.
There are no guarantees Nembhard, the No. 26 recruit in America according to ESPN, is Chiozza's immediate successor.
For now he's here, ready to make his mark.
"My goal is to try to win a starting spot on the team, play as much as possible, and just help my team in any way I can to win," he said.
"That's defensively, offensively, being a leader, coming off the bench—whatever I need to do to kind of help us win as [many] games as possible, hopefully win the national championship.
"That's what I want to do."
Duke is an early favourite to win the NCAA title, with an immensely talented roster that includes Barrett, Zion Williamson and Cam Reddish—the top three recruits in the class of 2019.
Still, Nembhard likes his chances.
"I think Florida definitely has a chance of beating Duke," he said. "Every team in college basketball is beatable."
Next season will be the first time in many years Nembhard does not play with Barrett, a close friend and potential No. 1 NBA Draft pick.
He welcomes the challenge.
"I think we both play really well together, but I think we both have more to show that—when we're away from each other," he said.
"I feel like this is just a good opportunity for me to show more of my game, the scoring side of my game, especially—just to bring out more leadership in my game.
"I think it'll be a good opportunity."
What matters for now is that he's here, competing for an international title on home soil.
Here, doing what he was born to do. Here, pursuing greatness.
Here, and stronger than ever.
"I feel like I just attack everything in a more motivated way," he said.
"I feel like I just cherish and thank people for what they do so much more … just cherish everything."

Canada Basketball has released it's highly anticipated 2019 FIBA World Cup training camp roster.
Loaded with 29 high-skilled Canadians — 17 currently under NBA contracts, the roster is Canada's best-assembled talent of all-time and represents the country's best shot at reaching the podium at the upcoming 2019 FIBA World Cup in China — and potentially earning a return trip to the 2020 Olympics games in Tokyo.
Tough decisions will need to be made by recently announced head coach Nick Nurse who will have the difficult task of cutting multiple NBA players for the first time in order to finalize the final 12-man roster that is expected to be committed to the goal from training camp through the World Cup.

The United States of America are back on top of the FIBA U19 World Cup.
Two years after finishing a record low, third-place in Cairo Egypt — the Americans defeated and ended rising African champion's historic basketball run with a 93-79 victory over Mali to claim the 2019 U19 World Cup in Heraklion, Greece.
The USA fought off a hot and confident Mali squad playing in their first ever FIBA World Cup finals to win their record seventh FIBA U19 gold medal.

Mali got off to an outstanding start on the strength of Hassan Drame's 9 points, as Mali ripped off a 11-0 run and took a early 11-3 lead with 6:58 to play. The USA pounded Mali on the offensive glass pulling down 13 offensive rebounds on their way to out-rebounding the African side 19-12 in the quarter to quickly close the gap as Mali led 22-20 lead after 10 minutes.

The USA went to a 3-2 zone early in the second-quarter and slowly grinded Mali out with tight defense and relentless offensive rebounding to finally take a 37-36 lead, their first since leading 3-0. A late three-pointer, the USA first of the half, put the Americans ahead for good at with a 42-40 at half-time.

The USA opened the third-quarter with a 14-0 run, holding Mali scoreless for the first 3:00 minutes of the second-half and forcing Mali head coach Alhadji Dicko to call a time-out to restore orders as the lead swell to double-digits at 54-40.
Mali showed their resiliency and pride, fighting until the final whistle to close a game-high 20 point lead to single digits at 84-77 — on a made pull-up three pointer by Martin Diakite with 4:11 to go. The USA clamped down, allowing Mali just two points the rest of the way for the 14 win.

NASA: Plattsburgh Streets Perfect For Lunar Exploration Training
Maybe that's why the potholes -- actually craters -- haven't been patched up on Miller and other streets in Plattsburgh City. It's rough going when I'm on my bicycle; I would prefer the safety margin afforded by a lunar excursion module.
For months none of the craters have been touched, no patching, nothing. They just keep growing in size, bigger, deeper.
I wonder how bad the potholes are on the street where the mayor lives.

1910 Building Discovers New Station In Life
The heyday of train travel is long gone, especially all the whistle-stops along the tracks between here and there. So what's left for a small station in a small town?
How about a combination espresso bar and gift shop? The Station Cafe & Gifts sits off Route 9 on a short side road, right by the trestle, north of Chazy, NY. Drive up the hill and you'll see the building which has renovated from top to bottom, inside and out. It's bright, clean and comfortable. According to its Facebook page -- http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Station-Cafe-and-Gifts/370707920743 -- it features a summer happy hour with live music on Fridays starting at 4 PM.
And if you're in to photographing tags on train cars, it's a great spot for that, too.

Heatwave hits Plattsburgh City. This was taken around 8 PM on 7/21/11 on Clinton Street: an old analog thermometer that still gives fairly accurate readings.
The next day the high temp was a bit lower, less of an inferno, but it was still siesta weather for these nappers in beautiful downtown Plattsburgh.
Green Neon On Wet Purple
Big Little Library
The main library room was crowded. Seven people: four adults, including the director, and three boys sitting at the public access computers.
Frances Fairchild, Chazy Public Library Director, was ensconced behind her desk, coordinating the slow-motion maelstrom encroaching on her center of operations. Everything was organized as best as possible when dealing with a total area approximately sixteen by sixteen feet square. Books, DVDs, paperwork, snail mail -- the daily IN-OUT load concentrated. There was no room for chaos.
Key word: compact. The interior was maximized for shelving, the walls from floor to ceiling crammed with books. This was hobbit small: quaint but for a big guy like me, a little confining.
Camera in hand I moved into the adjacent children's room that happened to be empty at the moment. Ten active kids could easy fill up the room. I carefully inched back into a corner to get the best view. No telephoto shots here. Strictly wide angle all the way. And even then I couldn't squeeze it all in. Extravagantly rich women had walk-in closets larger than this. While neat and charming, the children's room couldn't accommodate the Imelda Marcos shoe collection.
Despite its overall physical size the little library was still providing a great service to the village of Chazy. The building was originally the law office of Julius Caesar Hubbell. According to A History of the Town of Chazy, Clinton County, New York by Sullivan and Martin, J.C. Hubbell was the first lawyer to pass the bar exam in the county way back in 1808. His office was built on property next to his home, opening for business in the spring of 1812. His house, also made of stone, still stands in the village.
Since the small library building is easy to miss while driving through Chazy -- even with a couple of signs outside explaining its function -- maybe more could be done to attract attention. For example, with his house next door, a billboard truthfully stating JULIUS CAESAR SLEPT HERE. Or a banner stretched across the library facade proclaiming: I CAME, I SAW, I READ. On second thought, maybe not...
It was a rough time back when J.C. Hubbell practiced law. Alcohol fueled many a fight among hard-working locals, thus leading to a brisk trade for J.C. with assault and battery cases. (Black-and-blue put him in the black.) Normal operation of the law office was interrupted during the War of 1812 with British or American soldiers occupying his building, depending upon who kicked who in the backside during battle.
One of J.C.'s grandsons, Edmund Seymour, initiated the effort in 1901 to establish the Chazy Public Library in the Hubbell Law Office. What worked well as an office became over the years too limiting for the needs of a growing library.
Returning to the main room I had a few questions for the director. I didn't ask her if she was claustrophobic. Sometimes people take my humor the wrong way.
If a movie casting director needed a bespectacled white-haired woman librarian, Frances Fairchild would fit the role. But only as a calm, friendly one (not one of those crabby "Shhh! Quiet!" - "You kids get off my library lawn!" types). Since 1988 she has been the anchor in the information/media ocean.
She explained a new library is in the works. A larger building in another nearby location was being renovated to provide three times the space. The historic building had been the office of Dr. George W. Clark who left it in his will to the Chazy Public Library Board of Trustees. According to Frances they hope the new library on Fiske Street will be open by Thanksgiving or Christmas this year.
In the past the library had to hold public events in the town hall, even outside in the town hall garden. The new location will eventually have a basement floor to handle such get-togethers.
But despite all the space limitations she has dealt with, Frances says she will miss the quaint smallness of the old library. It has a charm hard to duplicate in a bigger building.
Charming is never claustrophobic.

Time's up, Barack.
Almost every Thursday afternoon they used to gather on the west side of Trinity Park in downtown Plattsburgh, rallying against then-President George W. Bush's Shrub's wars. Even on bone-freezing winter days they held up signs marked with aphorisms that challenged Shrub's policies. -10 degrees Fahrenheit anyone?
But the peace ralliers faded from view after Democrat Barack Obama won the White House. They did show up in January 2010 for another cold day protest against Barack's decision to continue waging the Afghani-nam war with a troop buildup. But the weekly anti-war protest lost its impetus, due in part to some ralliers deciding to give Barack a chance. After all, during his presidential campaign, he promised change. And his predecessor did have two full terms, eight years, to screw everything up.
July 21, 2011. A day for record-breaking high temps. Late afternoon: heat index 108 F. I'm walking along, half-dead from the blasting sun, when I see a familiar sight in the distance. A mirage? No. Guess who's back protesting near the park? Same issues, different leader.
It's a good spot for the left-leaning group to publicly demonstrate. Next to City Hall, the local seat of government, with Macdonough Monument across the street, a defiant bronze eagle perched atop the obelisk, a symbol of freedom.
One of the ralliers, Kurtis Hagen, told me that's he's disappointed in Obama's unfulfilled campaign promises. Guantanamo Bay detention camp hasn't been closed. Besides the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq dragging on, Obama has involved the USA in a rebel conflict in Libya.
I asked Kurtis if the occasional criticisms in the Press-Republican about the peace ralliers motivated him to bring back the public demonstrations. Readers through Letters to the Editor and Speakout, the PR's anonymous comment via email feature, had accused the group of being hypocrites. The point was that ralliers were out challenging Shrub's war policies when he was in office but not a word during Obama's presidency regarding the continuation of the same policies. (Apparently a few of these critics didn't notice the January 2010 protest, preferring to stay inside, warm and passive.)
Kurtis replied he was unaware of the criticism. On his own initiative he contacted the people who had rallied before, having decided that Obama was generally more of the same. He and the others decided that they wouldn't give Barack a pass; the President has had enough time to bring about some change.
The peace group hopes to return to its Thursday afternoon demonstrations, Kurtis added. For more information he can be contacted at kurtishagen@yahoo.com .

Not An Earful
Yesterday evening I was near the grounds of the CVPH Medical Center on Cornelia Street when a couple told me a rabbit was playing with a squirrel in the park area. I missed that Kodak Moment but did manage to capture a few shots of the rabbit.
One of its ears has a chunk missing. Maybe a dog or cat created this feature during an encounter when it was a young rabbit. Or maybe it was done by an overly aggressive squirrel that doesn't know how to play nice.

honored by the City Council beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016.
Based on nominations to the Social Services Commission the seven chosen for this year's 2015 Volunteer Recognition Program include Roger Stoltenberg (SPIRITT Family Services); Robert Chavez (Hillcrest Festival of Fine Arts); Dorothea Cummings (Assistance League of Whittier); Marlene Flores-Avila (Activate Whittier/YMCA); Lee Isaac (Whittier Senior Center); Maurice Meyenburg (Rio Hondo Symphony) and Margaret "Margie" Taylor (Whittier Senior Center).
Belin Hernandez, a recreation specialist with the city, said winning volunteers are chosen based on nominations submitted to the city. Each has to be a nonpaid asset to a nonprofit organization serving the city of Whittier.
For Stoltenberg, who at age 79 has devoted more than 40 years to the nonprofit sector, serving on the SPIRITT Family Services Board since January 2000 – the last 13 as its board president – his spirit of giving came from his late wife of 57 years, Doris.
"She was the wind underneath my wings so to say," he said.
In addition to his SPIRITT service, Stoltenberg has served as chairman of the Leadership Board of Special Olympics San Gabriel Valley and as chairman of the host city of Whittier during the recent Special Olympics World Games.
Assistant City Manager Nancy Mendez said there will be a reception for the group at 5:30 Jan. 12 at City Hall, 13230 Penn St., followed by official council recognition at 6 p.m.
Tim Traeger is former editor of the Whittier Daily News and current executive director of the Whittier Historical Society and Museum.

I don't see any wabbit tracks.
A good story is one that continually pops-up in your memory no matter how many years may have passed since the incident happened. My encounter with a rabbit occurred fifty-six years ago, but to me, it still seems like it only happened yesterday. One day while hunting I spotted a rabbit as it darted through the woods. We noticed each other at the same time; I know this because when the rabbit saw me it ran into a little cove and I gave chase.
As I stepped into the narrow burrow, I noticed there were only one way in and one way out of the rabbits burrow. The rabbit was trapped and could not escape because I was standing between the rabbits only exit.
I raised my gun to my shoulder and looked down the barrel of my Winchester. As I was adjusted the gun's sight the Rabbit did something I have never noticed in the past; this rabbit had its eyes closed. The rabbits' strange behavior made me ask the question, is this rabbit praying? Hey! Why are you laughing? How do you know rabbits do not pray? Are you the rabbit expert? Whatever the rabbit had been doing with its eyes closed it worked because soon after I thought the rabbit was praying, and I had visions of the rabbit speaking with God and begging for mercy. As I pointed my gun at the rabbit, my mind flooded with images of this rabbit having babies, and they are waiting for their mother rabbit to bring them dinner.
In the book of Genesis, the Lord said, the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth (Gen.8:21). My heart was no exception, I was in the woods for one reason, to hunt down rabbits, and to hurt, maim, and kill any rabbits that happened to cross my path that day. The prophet Jeremiah also said, the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it (Jer.17:9). My heart was deceiving me into believing it was fun to kill helpless rabbits that God had also created (Gen.1:20-25). I was killing innocent rabbits for no other reason than to satisfy my evil desires.
Can God change a man's heart?
In the book of Acts, Luke, the author wrote about a man named Saul. This man was also wicked, except instead of killing rabbits, Saul was persecuting the people of God. Some Christians, Saul shut up in prison, other Christians he would punish often, and some of the followers of Jesus he would put to death (Acts.26:9-11). As evil as Saul was yet God changed his thoughts, then his heart, and last of all, God changed his life (Acts.26:12-18).
(Eze.36:24-27). Was the rabbit praying, I don't know, and most likely, I will never know, but one thing is sure while looking down the barrel of my gun that same grace that God showered Saul with was also poured out on me because something supernaturally happened? God changed my heart, then my mind, and I no longer looked at this rabbit as something to chase down maim and kill to satisfy my lust for bloodshed.
God's grace opens the eyes of men.
For the first time, I saw this rabbit as God saw her, a mother with baby kittens. God had given this mother rabbit the responsibility to feed and protect the baby bunnies He had placed in her care. And here I stand with a loaded gun ready to end her life because, to me, she was just a rabbit. Everything God created has a purpose in life; God's grace opened my eyes to that truth.
Did God give me a new heart?
Did God take my heart of stone and replace it with a new heart? I do not know if He changed my heart or not, but what I do know is my desire to hunt maim, and kill animals was something I no longer desired to do.
Here is what I am confident of, I entered the woods as a cold-blooded rabbit killer and after my encounter with the praying rabbit, and I am leaving the forest as a man reduced to tears over a rabbit that may or may not have a litter of kittens. I thought it strange that God would use a rabbit to change a man's heart, but He did! God supernaturally changed my heart that day while I was in the woods.
Why do you think I am sharing this story with you? So you can laugh, or have something to read, of course not, I am telling you my story as a testimony that God's grace does have the power to change the hearts of men and woman even though their heart may be wicked (Ezekiel 36: 26, 27).
In the book of Luke, Jesus said, for the son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost (Lk.19:10). I was lost, in sin, and God had mercy on me and showered me with His grace.
Did God perform a miracle?
God performed a miracle that day. The Lord had performed three miracles that day.
(1) God's grace spared the life of a mother rabbit.
(2) By God's grace, the baby kittens received food.
(3) By God's grace, a man's heart changed forever.
Oh! By the way, God performed another miracle that day, since my encounter with the praying rabbit, I no longer hunt, did I shoot the rabbit? "Of course not," and by the way, this is a true story, and the hunter was me, Pastor Dennis. And no, I was not a Pastor when I had the encounter with the praying rabbit (2-Cor.13:5-7). Hope you enjoyed the story and may God bless you. I pray God gives everyone who reads this story a testimony that they can share with their family and friends.

by Josh Smith & r & & r & 18 Fingers of Death & r & & lt;span class= "dropcap " & W & lt;/span & ith its slick packaging, 18 Fingers of Death draws you in with a triple feint: That's Pat Morita on the cover, along with a one-two combination claiming that "It's Kung Fu Hustle meets Spinal Tap." Buford Lee (James Few) is the star of 803 kung fu films, ranging from I Kill You Until You Die to Drunken Bastard. So his 804th film is certainly going to be the one finally to bring him fame and good fortune. The story of Buford Lee's last chance to make it in film, 18 Fingers of Death is so poor that it fails to deliver anything except a minor role for Morita and tepid kung fu. It's the least documentary-like mockumentary ever.
It can't decide what kind of film it wants to be. With fake martial arts celebrities like Steven Seafood and Antonia Bandanas (played by the acting powerhouse from Renegade, Lorenzo Lamas), Fingers seems headed straight into Kentucky Fried Movie territory, but never really commits to the horrible cheesiness required. The mockumentary conceit is all too often dropped as Fingers turns into simple movie about a socially inept fan, Ronald Mack (Maurice Patton) following and assisting his unlucky hero, who is plagued by his inability to evaluate either scripts or agents.
Despite the hideous (and obvious) flaws in its creation, too many defecation jokes and ham-handed characterizations, everyone involved in Fingers seems committed to making it work. It all engenders the sort of pained sympathy that one feels for the film's beleaguered main character. Saddled with no script and little talent but a whole lot of gumption, Buford still presses on doggedly.
The DVD's thin offering of extras is sad. They amount to three deleted scenes (which any 5-year-old could easily recognize as superfluous), along with a two-minute tribute to Morita (who turns in the movie's nicest performance as Buford's father) and a "behind-the-scenes" featurette consisting mostly of Lorenzo Lamas rambling while getting into makeup.
While the concept was funny and the cast and crew were committed, 18 Fingers of Death perfects just one move: the Fatal Touch of Boredom.

Report: China Plans Naval Base in Same African Country as US
By Todd Beamon | Friday, 01 April 2016 04:06 PM
China will station "a few thousand" naval troops and staff in the same African country where the United States has a 4,500-member base that specializes in counterterrorism operations across the region.
The base would be the first permanent overseas operation in Beijing's history, The Financial Times reported Friday, and it will be located in Djibouti, a country located in the Horn of Africa.
Bordered in part by Ethiopia and Somalia, Djibouti is a key strategic location at the southern entrance to the Red Sea from the Indian Ocean, with 30 percent of the world's shipping passing close by, the Times reports.
The nation sits at the mouth of Bab el-Mandeb Strait, leading to the Suez Canal. More than 90 percent of Djibouti's 810,000 residents practice Islam. Arabic and French are the country's official languages.
While Beijing has said little about its plans in Djibouti — the Times said the government only describes the base as "logistical facilities" with no further details — plans were disclosed by Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Djibouti's foreign minister.
He said that the communist nation planned to use the base primarily to protect its national interest, including monitoring its commercial ships passing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and for refueling and restocking vessels.
Beijing, like the United States and France, would have the right to use drones in the region, he said. China is also building a second major airport in the country, he said.
"The Americans have enough technology, enough fighter aircraft, enough drones [here] to control each and every piece of this land and even beyond," Youssouf told the Times. "Why should the Chinese not have the right to also use those materials . . . to preserve and protect their interests in the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb?"
Tom Kelly, the U.S. ambassador to Djibouti, said that having a Chinese base in the same country as the Americans "will be a challenge for all involved."
Concerns range from eavesdropping on activities at the U.S. operation, which primarily engages in broad-based covert anti-terror efforts, to fears China may develop other bases to gain greater strategic control over waterways leading into Europe, the Times reports.
Under the agreement with Djibouti, Beijing will pay $20 million a year to rent its site. That compares with the $63 million the United States pays — which has nearly doubled by mutual agreement in 2014, the Times reports.
Both nations have a 10-year contract with an option to extend it for another decade, Youssouf said.
"The terms of the contract and agreement are very clear and they are the same for each and every country that requested military presence in Djibouti," he told the Times.
Japan has its only overseas military base in Djibouti — and Tokyo is in a tense stalemate with Beijing over territorial issues in the East China Sea, according to the report.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry declined to respond to requests for comment about the new operation, the Times reports.

Research Tracing Exotic Quasiparticles in Nanowires Wins the 2012 AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize
by: Natasha D. Pinol
An innovative approach in nanoscience to detect the presence of exotic quasiparticles, known as Majorana fermions, has won the 2012 AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize.
The association's oldest prize, now supported by The Fodor Family Trust, annually recognizes the author or authors of an outstanding paper published in the Research Articles or Reports sections of the journal Science between June and the following May.
The research by Vincent Mourik, Leo Kouwenhoven, and colleagues was originally published online by Science at the Science Express Web site on 12 April 2012. The authors will receive the prize during a 15 February ceremony at the 2013 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
For the first time ever, the physicists and chemists from Delft University of Technology and the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands provided solid evidence that Majorana fermions—elusive particles that act as their own antiparticles—exist inside a nanowire.
In their winning paper, Vincent Mourik and colleagues reported the detection of fermions (orange ball) in tiny nanowires.
CREDIT: TU Delft
When a negatively charged electron meets a positron—its positively charged antiparticle—they annihilate each other in a flash of gamma rays. In contrast, Majorana fermions are neutral particles which are their own antiparticles and are thought to exist in solid state systems.
Mourik and colleagues developed a device consisting of a nanowire contacted by normal and superconducting electrodes. In a magnetic field, they observed a peak tunneling signal at zero energy that was robust to variation of the field and the gate voltage. The peak signal disappeared when the theoretically proposed necessary ingredients for Majorana formation were eliminated.
"This new discovery is a valuable contribution to the field of nanoscience," said Science Editor-in-Chief Bruce Alberts. "In addition to having fundamental value for understanding our universe, it can also contribute to the creation of a stable quantum computing platform."
The paper, "Signatures of Majorana Fermions in Hybrid Superconductor-Semiconductor Nanowire Devices," is available free with registration at the Science website.
The prize was established in 1923 with funds donated by Newcomb Cleveland of New York City and was originally called the AAAS Thousand Dollar Prize. It is now known as the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize, and its value has been raised to $25,000. The winner also receives a prize plaque, complimentary registration, and reimbursement for travel and hotel expenses to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting.
Eligible Science papers include original research data, theory, or synthesis. They should represent a fundamental contribution to basic knowledge, or a technical achievement of far-reaching consequence. Winning nominations also should be a first-time publication of the author's own work.
The 2011-2012 Newcomb Cleveland Prize selection committee included Alberts, Science Senior Editorial Board members Paul Alivisatos of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley; Cori Bargmann of Rockefeller University; Ernst Fehr of the University of Zürich; Erin O'Shea of Harvard University; and Michael S. Turner of the University of Chicago; Brooks Hanson, Science deputy editor for physical sciences; Andrew Sugden, deputy editor for biological sciences; Valda Vinson, deputy editor for biology; Barbara Jasny, deputy editor for commentary; and AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner, who also serves as executive publisher of Science.
