ONE-NOTCH INCREASE PUTS SLOVAKIA ON PAR WITH THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Slovakia merits A rating
THE SLOVAK Republic now has one of the best long-term foreign currency ratings among post-Communist countries after international ratings agency Fitch increased the country's rating to A.
Slovakia's one-notch increase, from A-minus to A, puts the country on par with the Czech Republic. Its healthy economic growth and reforms have outpaced other Central European nations as well. Hungary stands at A-minus while Poland is at BBB plus.
"There has been improvement in Slovakia's general economic performance - forces creating real income convergence with Western European living standards. And that reflects fundamental reforms to refine the business environment and also public finances, which we see as a positive," David Heslam, associate director in Fitch's sovereign group, told The Slovak Spectator.
According to Heslam, the A rating takes into account the 19-percent flat tax reform and the improvements to the business environment that has encouraged investment.
"There is also the government's fiscal reform switch. There are two elements to that: euro adoption looks credible. The other elemental thing is that the government has tackled fundamental spending reforms and it is tackling the pensions issue," Heslam said.
He added that all this puts long-term public finances on a stable basis.
Fitch has also affirmed Slovakia's long-term local currency rating at A-plus and raised the short-term foreign currency rating from F2 to F1. The Country Ceiling has been upgraded from A-plus to AA-minus, while the outlook on Slovakia's ratings is stable.
Slovakia's ratings with Moody's stands at A2 and with Standard & Poor's at A. Fitch in fact caught up with the rating that Moody's gave to the country in January of this year.
It is more than a year since Fitch last increased Slovakia's overall rating by one level, on September 21, 2004.
A key risk seen by Fitch is Slovakia's politics, particularly the general elections to be held in 2006.
Fitch's ratings increase pleased the country's finance minister, Ivan Mikloš, who says that the ratings improvement was mainly caused by intensive economic growth, thanks to which Slovak living standards are moving closer to those of people in Western Europe.
"However, Fitch considers the current political situation (in Slovakia) and the possibility of a populist government after the next general election to be among the most serious risks to the future development of the Slovak economy," Mikloš told the news wire TASR.
According to Mikloš, it is good that Fitch is pointing out the importance of principal reforms in the sphere of fiscal policy, in which Slovakia is showing the best level of progress among the Visegrad 4 (V4) group (Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic).
"Thanks to fiscal reform, Slovakia is able to lower its public debt and avoid burdening future generations," he said.
"I believe that if Slovakia keeps up its positive reform results, its economic rating and living standards will continue to improve in the near future," Mikloš added.
According to Fitch, the largest risk to Slovakia's financial outlook is political.
"Following the [2006] elections there is the potential for a more populist administration, with some loosening of fiscal policy," Fitch wrote in its press release.
"We highlight [general elections] as a risk. But given the likelihood that the next election will result in a coalition,, the chance of a complete reversal of the reforms is reduced," Heslam told the Spectator.

The expansion of the transmission infrastructure for the integration of renewable energies is a cardinal obligation for transmission system operators (TSO) in the 21st century. As far as TSCNET shareholder TenneT is concerned, the ongoing efforts of the Dutch-German TSO to promote sustainable energy sources are not limited to the physical implementation of infrastructure projects. TenneT is also active on the financial market as the largest corporate issuer of Green Debt in the Netherlands.
Now, the TSO has again successfully issued €1.25bn of long term Green Bonds on the Dutch market in two tranches of €500m and €750m respectively. This adds up to €6.25bn of green issuances since TenneT established its green financing framework in 2015. Over the next 10 years, TenneT's investments in Dutch and German offshore and onshore grid connections are expected to total €28bn. With the inclusion of the Dutch offshore projects Borssele Alpha and Borssele Beta, eleven projects are currently part of the Green Project Portfolio and financed through TenneT's Green Bonds.
A transmission system operator (TSO) is responsible for a secure and sufficient supply of electricity within its control area. But besides issues of system security and reliability, TSOs have to operate cost-efficiently to provide customers with an appropriate electricity rate. Such economic requirements apply to the Dutch-German TSCNET shareholder TenneT as well as to any other TSO, and also in consideration of the given official regulations, TenneT is expected to be economical in its publicly-funded investments in the high-voltage grid.
In the city of Enschede in the eastern Dutch province of Overijssel, TenneT investigated wether the installation of a 3.4km-long section of superconducting cable is feasible and reasonable. As it turned out, a superconductor would cost about four times more than a conventional cable under the specific conditions in Enschede. This excessive difference in investment costs led TenneT to refrain from the ambitious cable project.
A High-Temperature Superconductivity (HTS) cable can transmit up to five times more electricity than a conventional cable. Apart from that, it emits neither an electromagnetic field nor heat, resulting in significantly lower spatial requirements. Although this actually makes a superconductor highly suitable for inner-city applications, it would currently be too expensive to install a superconducting cable of only a few kilometres in length. But as HTS-technology is developing rapidly, a superconductor could become more affordable in the future. Given these conditions, TenneT will reconsider the deployment of HTS even for short intra-urban cable sections.

The commitment of TSC member TenneT to sustainable financing concepts for investments in the transmission of electricity from offshore wind farms remains steady: The Dutch-German transmission system operator (TSO) yet again has succesfully issued long term green bonds on the Dutch financial market. With two tranches of each €500m, TenneT has underpinned its status as the most important issuer of green debt in the Netherlands.
Altogether eight Dutch and German offshore projects benefit from TenneT's green financing framework, which the TSO established in 2015. The planned investments in offshore wind energy are expected to total €9 to €11bn over the coming years, presumably resulting in the realisation of connection capacities totalling over at least 15GW in the Dutch and German sectors of the North Sea.
Following the public offering of green bonds in May and July 2016, the Dutch-German transmission system operator (TSO) and TSC member TenneT has yet again succesfully issued another long term green bond on 10 October. The €500m bond issue equates to a total long-term debt in green format of €3bn.
TenneT's green bonds are funding investments in the transmission of sustainable energy thus creating an environmental and climate related benefit. The current bond issue supports the connecting of five offshore wind farm projects to the onshore grid. TenneT is the largest corporate issuer of green debt in the Netherlands.
TSC member TenneT, the Dutch-German transmission system operator (TSO), is expanding its German corporate headquarters in Bayreuth, Germany. On 29 June 2016, Urban Keussen and Mel Kroon, TenneT chief executive officers, Franz Josef Pschierer, Bavarian State Secretary, and Brigitte Merk-Erbe, Lord Mayor of Bayreuth, jointly laid the first stone for the new building.
TenneT is not only extending its German headquarter but will also generate 200 new jobs approximately. The company invests about €50m in renovations, extensions and new constructions. The newly built facilities of "TenneT Campus" will meet all ecological standards with a low heating demand, a photovoltaic system and a cogeneration unit. The completion of the work is expected in late 2017.
During the ceremony, Urban Keussen pointed out that TenneT "as the largest German TSO ensures from its location in Bayreuth the electricity supply in Bavaria and Germany and is responsible for a large part of the grid expansion for the energy transition". In the future there will be around 750 employees in Bayreuth, "more than twice as many as in 2010". "Tennet Campus" is meant to be "an inspiring work environment for our employees to meet the challenges of the energy transition".
TSC member Amprion, one of the four German transmission system operators (TSOs), held its annual press conference on 15 June 2016 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The TSO looked back on the previous fiscal year and gave predictions for the current year.
Amprion's Chief Commercial and Financial Officer, Dr. Hans-Jürgen Brick, commented on the situation of grid developement in Germany: "Last year, the legislature has laid down the tracks for the network expansion. The task now is to implement the projects quickly and citizen-friendly." Already by now the company's progresses regarding grid expansion are notable. This applies not only to flagship projects like the direct current line "Ultranet", which Amprion jointly develops with further TSC member TransnetBW, but also to many other less prominent but equally important line constructions. Chief Technical Officer Dr. Klaus Kleinekorte referred to more than 300 line and plant construction projects in 2015. This led to an increase of Amprion's investments in the electricity grid to a total amount of €474m in the respective year. In 2016 the TSO plans to outnumber last year's record level by investing €550m. In doing so, Amprion relies on innovative technology, transparency and citizen participation: In 2015 the company informed the public about construction projects at more than 500 events.
Dr. Hans-Jürgen Brick appraised Amprion's power lines as "life lines of the national economy". In 2015 Amprion's high-voltage grid –with a total length of 11,000 km – distributed around 190 terawatt-hours of electricity. Also in economic terms the last year was a success for Amprion. With €11.9bn the revenues reached a new record high and profits increased by 14 percent to €171m, partially favoured by law and tax-related one-time effects. "On balance we have a stable earnings level", concluded Brick.
While the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by nearly a fifth to EUR704m in 2015, TSC member TenneT, the Dutch-German transmission system operator (TSO), invested a record EUR2.4b in the maintenance and expansion of onshore and offshore high-voltage grids. The annual report also shows an impressive overall grid availability (99.9975%) and can be downloaded for free.
So-called green bonds were created to fund projects that encourage sustainability and have positive environmental or climate benefits. Now the Dutch-German transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT announced the launch of a green bonds issuance programme that could evolve into multi billion euro green investment opportunity. TenneT is a member of TSC.
In the newsletter "Energy in Europe" published today, Dominique Ristori, Director General for Energy of the European Commission, offers a very positive summary of the Commision's plans for the new year. "This plan will kick-start further investment in the energy sector – an essential part of our growth agenda," Ristori wrote.


Think of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's new album, The Punishment of Luxury, as a broad look at a few of the deadly sins—particularly envy, greed and gluttony—and the band's attempt to reconcile them.
Kraftwerk-inspired track "Isotype" delves into the replacement of written language with emojis. The album-opening title track is about having more than we could ever need but being blinded by the constant urge to acquire the next big thing.
Synthpop pioneers Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark also have a song called "La Mitrailleuse," which translates from French as "Machine Gun," and consists primarily of vocals atop a layer of automatic weapon fire that may elicit intense reactions from some. The song, as it turns out, was inspired not by the unceasing string of mass shootings in the U.S., but by the early mechanization of warfare.
But OMD vocalist Andy McCluskey, who, with keyboardist Paul Humphreys, helped bring electronica to the mainstream with hits like "Enola Gay" and "If You Leave" in the early '80s, acknowledged the song's parallels with what is happening in America right now.
"The song is inspired by a  painting of WWI French machine gunners," McCluskey wrote in an email to RIFF last week. "We have always been fascinated [and] horrified by the moral questions surrounding warfare and the interface between humans and machinery.
McCluskey and Humphreys recently celebrated their fourth decade of making music together. The Punishment Of Luxury, which was released last September, is their 13th studio album, following in the footsteps of 2013's English Electric. OMD will bring its U.S. tour to San Francisco later this month.
Are there still things the two of you are discovering about each other after knowing each other for 40 years? Things like tastes in music or production styles, the ways in which you like to work, or the directions you want to pursue? Or does this band have such longevity because you know each other so well?
Andy McCluskey: We certainly know each other very well by now! It's [been] 50 years since we met at school, and 42 years since we started making music together. The most important thing that we have learned and respect is that it is our differences that usually make us a stronger combination. Knowing that the other can do things that we are less capable of, therefore trusting that between the two of us, we can get a better result! As an example, musically, I have a ruthless overview when it comes to editing and arranging, but Paul is by far the more objective and technical when it comes to mixing.
The title of your most recent album comes from a 19th century Geovanni Segantini painting; how did you discover this painting, and why did it play such a crucial role in your creation process?
McCluskey: We appropriated the title but not the meaning from the Segantini painting in Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery that I have known since my teen years, [including another Segantini work called] "The Bad Mothers," floating in an Alpine purgatory because they wanted more than a life in the kitchen, nursery or bedroom! Our take on the title is that most people in the Western world are materially better off than ever before, but we are unhappy because we have been brainwashed into believing that we are unworthy of love or self-respect unless we own the latest product being offered to us! It is a cruel and twisted delusion that we have been sold by the marketing men.
McCluskey: The "Robot Man" is me. Or rather, I hope that it was me. The song is an attempt to state my aim to take off the armor that I have created to protect myself and be self-assured enough to allow for some pain and shame in an attempt to be more honest and open. Musically, it is also a small homage to the early minimal synth music that we loved, especially "Warm Leatherette," by The Normal.
Listening to "What Have We Done," I could tell the song, on which Paul sings lead for the first time in 30 years, was a personal story and not necessarily a bigger message about the ills of society in the Brexit and Trump era. Then I learned it was about the death of Paul's pup. How were you able to communicate your feelings?
Paul Humphreys: Now, it was indeed inspired and written on the day that I had to put my doggie down, but "What Have We Done" is more of a personal song about life, love and loss, about putting full stops at the end of an era. It's about facing and confronting life-changing decisions and situations that we all have to face at some point in our lives, and then having to live and deal with the resulting and inescapable consequences of our choices. Andy and I are very politically aware but try not to be too overt or preachy in our songs. But like other world political "earthquake" events, Brexit is as big of a "What Have We Done" moment the U.K. has had to face in my lifetime. I personally believe it will be an unmitigated social and economic disaster, but very happy to be proven wrong!
In the 1980s everyone was signing huge record deals but signing away all the rights to their songs. Right now artists are better at keeping the rights to their music, but the industry is much less receptive to the type of music that doesn't move millions of units, and stuff on the radio is more homogenized than ever. You've been a part of both times. Which is better and why; and what makes the other era worse?
McCluskey: The music industry now is a very different model to the one that we signed up to. We accepted fairly terrible royalty rates that no one would tolerate these days. At the end of the 1980s we had sold 10 million albums [and] 20 million singles, and owed our record company a £1 million—not because we had bought castles and yachts, but because our royalty rates, even on songs that we had written ourselves, were so low! Since digital arrived, record companies have struggled to make the big profits that they used to. Therefore, they are much more reluctant to invest in anything that could be considered a chance. Thus, we have music in the mainstream that is very homogenized and predictable. A band called Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark would never get a major record deal now! Only a handful of massive artists make money from music sales. Some, like ourselves, survive through touring and maximizing the support of a wonderful existing fan base, but for many others it is now never going to be a "job" that pays the bills. I know which era I prefer!
You waited four years between albums last time. Should fans expect a similar break, or have you been writing all this time?
McCluskey: We didn't wait four years. We were working on it! After almost 40 years making and releasing music as OMD, it is hard to continue to find new ideas and inspiration. … The only reason we make a recording is because we feel we have something relevant to say and of sufficient musical quality [and] it will take as long as it takes to prepare something good enough for release. We could write 10 songs in 10 days, but they wouldn't be good enough! It's that simple! We refuse to release an album just to have a new T-shirt logo and excuse to tour! We like to think that that is why our new albums have been very strong.


Among beverage logos, the Monster Energy logo enjoys one of the top positions thanks to its unique look that helps it stand out from the rest of the lot. The logo has an absolute 'monster' look considering its color, font and shape. It was designed by McLean Design, a California-based strategic branding and packaging design agency.
The neon green color of the large 'M' against the black background demonstrates the kick people get after consuming a can of Monster energy drink.
The custom-designed font of the Monster Energy logo provides instant boost to the consumers and compels millions of people to indulge in its taste.
Monster Energy is an energy drink, launched by Hansen Natural in 2002. It comes in a black can with a colored logo. "Monster Java" was the first energy drink to be sold mixed with coffee.
There are now 27 different drinks under the Monster umbrella in North America including its core Monster Energy line, Java Monster, Extra Strength, Import and Rehab.
Monster Energy is advertised mainly through sponsorship of sporting events, including motocross, flag football, car racing, BMX, snowboarding and skateboarding. In 2006, Hansen Natural Corporation announced a distribution agreement with Anheuser-Busch in the U.S. and Grupo Jumex in Mexico.


The Indians seem to be in the middle of an injury crisis.
Losing Sehwag obviously hurt, losing Yuvraj so close to the tournament hurts even more I bet.
This should completely turn over all the strategies Dhoni might have come up with till now.
I saw Pakistan's bowling today, and if that Centurion pitch on Saturday has something in it for the seamers, India should really not take Pakistan lightly. That kid Aamer was absolutely fantastic, it actually felt like watching Akram in his prime. Forget that it was against the West Indies, this was high quality stuff.
It seems to be that age-old theory true again : India's batting against the Pakistan bowling.
The injury of Yuvraj is a big blow after a misfit Gambhir and already injured Viru. But i think the team has in it to bounce back. the onus wud be more on Tendulkar, Dravid, MS and Gambhir. 2 of this 4 would have to be more consistent….
It would be interesting to see who replaces Yuvraj. Kohli or Nayar.
The match on Saturday is going to be a cracker I'm sure. My gut feeling is that Nayar is going to come in place of Yuvraj. Let's see.
I injured Yuvraj so that I don't have to see him play. Ryder is next in the list.
While you're out injuring cricketers Purna, why don't you have a go at Broad.
If I see that stupid face of his, my eyes will burn.
But just imagine how that face will look like when people thrash him for sixes and fours? Which they will, because he's not a bowler.
I hope he gets Dilshtructed tomorrow. Simple as that. Anything less will not be tolerated.
on the image of that pain and you'll probably get a measure of relief.

Q: Jersey Service with Object as parameter I´ve some Jersey services as follows
      @GET
      @Path("/GetUsers")
      @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON + ";charset=utf-8")
      public List<Campania> findUsers(@QueryParam("userName") String User) {
        List<User> users= userBL.getUsers();
        return users;
      }

My problem is that this method should receive 10 parameters, so I would prefer to have only one parameter: GetUsersFilter which contains the 10 parameters.
The only way I know for doint that, is changing from @GET to @POST, but, this services should be a GET. There is another way?

A: You can use the @BeanParam annotation to bundle multiple query parameters (and other stuff) into a single java object:
// parameter object that bundles all parameters
public class UserQueryParams {
    @QueryParam("userName")
    private String user;

    @QueryParam("param2")
    private String param2;

    ...
    // getters etc.
}

Then in your JAX-RS resource method, use it as follows:
@GET
@Path("/GetUsers")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON + ";charset=utf-8")
public List<User> findUsers(@BeanParam UserQueryParams userQuery) {
    List<User> users = userBL.getUsers(userQuery);
    return users;
}

Often we hear of people that need our help, or we have a desire to help them but we can't be with them or we don't know how we could possibly help from our position. But we want to help, we really do. This can apply to many different situations. A teacher wishing to help a child's home life, a friend aware of an abusive relationship, having a parent that is ill and in a doctor's care...the types of situations are endless. We are all filled with love and compassion. We don't have to be helpless. We CAN be of assistance, even if we can't physically be there to do it.
We send LOVE. We tend to feel sad and fearful when we hear of something not so great happening in someone's life. They're sick, we worry, they're not being taken care of, and we feel anger and sadness. These emotions are natural, but not all that helpful. We have this powerful helpful healing energy in us called LOVE. When we sit quietly focused on someone, we can set an intention to send healing energy. And it's so powerful! It's quite simple, and something I do all the time.
Here are some simple steps to sending healing.
2) Imagine them filled with white healing light, start with a little white light in their belly and let it grow, filling them completely and even extending out like an aura all around them.
3) Keep your thoughts positive. Assume, Visualize, Intend pure health, pure love, pure happiness, whatever it is you feel they need help with – imagine this without any inkling of trauma, illness, nothing negative whatsoever. Keep your thoughts positive, this packs the most punch in wellness. Intention is key, we intend to send love, and it goes. The opposite sentiment is fear. We are doing them a great disservice is we sit and worry about them.
4) Feel free to invite angels, I never work alone, always calling in backup from Source, Creator, Divinity, God, whatever you want to call it. When you ask, help arrives. Ask and you shall receive, remember?!
If you see any darkness when visualizing this white healing light filling your person, simply ask the light to cleanse it away.
5) Express Gratitude. Thank the love (Universal Life Force Energy, Creator, Divinity, God, Angels, etc) for filling your person or situation and be thankful for the healing. All is well.
You may not physically see results, but a lot goes on behind the scenes when we're dealing with energy. A shift has occurred, whether you visibly see changes or not. You have just uplifted someone, you have helped. Thank you for doing this. We really need more people like you, kind and loving enough to raise the vibration of this planet. Thank you. I am grateful that you read this, this says you care about others, you are a good person. You are needed. Keep up the great work Light Worker!

Отто Пильц (; ) — немецкий художник, иллюстратор журнала Die Gartenlaube.

Биография
Отто Пильц родился в семье мыловара Кристиана Генриха Фридриха Пильца в Альштедте. После обучения на художника-декоратора в Галле Пильц изучал живопись с 1860 по 1864 год в Саксонско-Веймарской Высшей школе изобразительных искусств, выбрав направление жанровая живопись. Отто Пильц был освобожден от службы в армии и благодаря этому смог продолжить обучение с 1866 до 1871 года в Веймаре уже по специальности фигурная живопись. Его учителями в Веймаре были Пауль Туман, Бернхард Плокхорст и Мишель Мари Шарль Верла. За время обучения Отто Пильц посетил также Вену и Мюнхен.

После завершения обучения Пильц остался в Веймаре. Он работал в жанровой живописи. Мотивы его зарисовок городской и сельской жизни Пильц брал из современных ему Тюрингии, Гессена, Шпревальда, Баварии, Тироля и Волендама. Кроме написания жанровых сцен Пильц выполнял портреты, зарабатывая этим себе на жизнь.

В 1874 году Отто Пильц женится на Альме Шиллинг (1853—1906), дочери полковника Йоганна Шиллинга, награждённого орденом Белого Орла. В 70-х годах Отто Пильц работал совместно с творческими объединениями художников Клайнзассена и Виллингсхаузена.

С 1876 по 1884 года Пильц проводил летние месяцы в Каппеле, общине недалеко от Марбурга, ставшего в 1974 году частью города. Там он создал несколько картин с изображением местных жителей в церкви и на овчарне на горе Гласкопф.

Растущая конкуренция среди художников в Веймаре вынудила его в 1886 году переехать в Берлин, быстрорастущую столицу, где он надеялся на большое количество заказов. В 1889 году Пильц переезжает в Мюнхен, где присоединяется к группе художников Мюнхенский сецессион. В 1893 году Пильц уезжает жить в Пазинг, город являющийся сегодня частью Мюнхена. Он часто совершал выезды в Дахау, Вюрцбург и монастырь Вальдербах, где писал работы или искал вдохновение.

Отто Пильц умер 20 августа 1910 года в Пазинге в результате воспаления легких и инфаркта миокарда.

Выставки и награждения

В 1882 году Отто Пильц был удостоен почетного звания профессора художественной школы Веймара без предоставления преподавательского места.

Отто Пильц выставлялся на ежегодных выставках в Берлине и в Мюнхене, его работы висели в мюнхенском Стеклянном дворце. На Всемирной выставке 1878 года в Париже была представлена его картина «Гимнастические занятия на природе» (). Отто Пильц был награждён медалью «Почетное упоминание» на юбилейной выставке 1886 года и ежегодной выставке 1889 года в Берлине, а также Золотой государственной медалью Художественного общества города Зальцбург в 1904.

Wednesday Art Idol
August Sander: the pioneering German documentary photographer who captured the face of a nation

Widely regarded as one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, August Sander was a generational talent who documented one of the most tumultuous periods in his native Germany's history. Having pioneered photography as an ethnographic tool, a stethoscope capable of taking a nation's pulse, his portrait-focused approach has become a blueprint for documentary photographers ever since.
Born in west Germany's Rhineland, Sander was largely self-taught after receiving his first camera at a young age and setting up his own dark room. A stint in the military working as a photographer's assistant confirmed Sander's vocation and upon leaving in 1900 he spent the next ten years travelling around Germany and working at a studio in Linz, Austria. Returning home in 1910, Sander set up his own studio in Cologne (close to his birthplace of Herdorf). Having worked in the mines as a teenager and spent his formative years surrounded by Germany's industrial heartland, Sander became interested in the avant-garde concept of Neue Sachlichkeit or New Objectivity, which advocated a return to daily reality within art. Sander developed this idea by taking photographs of labourers and peasants in nearby Westerwald, the beginning of an attempt to document every echelon of society that he would return to after his military service in World War I.

In the early 1920s, having returned to Cologne, Sander joined the city's Progressive Artists Group, strong proponents of New Objectivity and a major influence behind Sander's magnum opus series, People of the Twentieth Century. Building on the portraits he had taken before the war, Sander's goal was to produce a comprehensive pictorial document of Germany's Weimar Republic, split into seven main categories: 'The Farmer', 'The Skilled Tradesman', The Artists', 'The City', 'The Woman', 'Classes and Professions' and 'The Last People'. Photographed straight-on in natural light with backdrops, clothing and gestures that alluded to the sitters' class or profession, the series of portraits are as revealing as any historical record, providing unparalleled insight into Germany's interwar years, from newfound freedoms to economic anxieties.
Later in his career, Sander's work moved into more apolitical spheres including landscape and botanical studies so as to avoid the incessant scrutiny of Nazi authorities. His photographs of what he termed Germany's "undesirables", travelers, vagrants and the mentally ill, were anathema to the Nazi party and in 1936, the printing blocks for Faces of Our Time (Sander's landmark publication containing his social portraits) were destroyed by the Nazis and existing copies of the book were either confiscated or burned. Despite this, Sander managed to conceal around 40,000 negatives in his house in Cologne, many of which were later destroyed during a bombing raid towards the end of the war, though Sander managed to salvage around a quarter. Despite never finishing People of the Twentieth Century, Sander's surviving son Gunther completed his father's work, with the finished book published in 1966, two years after Sander's death.

Three Young Farmers, 1914
This photograph is one of many Sander took of young farmers as part of his unfinished project People of the 20th Century, although this is among the best known. Like so much of Sander's work, the gestures and clothing provide important clues concerning the men, their social standing and the historical context in which the photograph was made.
Wearing their finest suits on their way to a nearby dance, they are part of a new economically mobile generation who emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. As critic John Berger noted, "The three young men belong, at the very most, to the second generation who ever wore such suits in the European countryside. Twenty or thirty years earlier, such clothes did not exist at a price which peasants could afford."
Taken shortly before the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the onset of World War I, the image also has a more somber resonance that belies its title and the assured expressions of the young men. Looking over their shoulders, without time for anything more than a backward glance, the three stride confidently towards their futures, unaware of their rapidly dwindling innocence and the horror that awaits them.

On pages 52–53 of this issue, Elaine S. Dalton, Young Women general president, teaches the importance of seeking and being a good friend. "Seeking another person's highest good is the essence of true friendship," she says.
Building friendships on these principles will help youth form lasting relationships and social skills that go beyond merely becoming "friends" on social networking sites. As a parent you can help your children understand the importance of being a good friend and of choosing friends who will encourage them to live the gospel. The following suggestions may be helpful.
Review the section on friends in For the Strength of Youth. Share with your teens how friendships influenced your life. Invite them to share how they have influenced and been influenced by their friends.
Read Sister Dalton's article in this issue. Talk about the goal her daughter, Emi, set to seek good friends. Help your children set goals about the type of friends they want to seek and be.
Being a friend includes helping others. Read "Standing Up for Caleb" in the March 2009 Liahona and talk with your children about ways they can be kind to everyone they meet.
In all situations, we have to decide what kind of friend we'll be. Sing together "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus"5 and then talk with your children about how they can choose to be a good friend, like the Savior, in various settings.

Detroit: Become Human review
On May 24, 2018 by Aaron Meehan
Detroit: Become Human is another branching story experience from Quantic Dream and David Cage. The game takes place in the city of Detroit in 2038, in the city androids have become a common sight as they do everything from running errands to caring for the elderly. The main premise of the story is that the androids are beginning to show emotions and push back against their human masters, but where this pushback leads is up to you, will the androids lead a peaceful rebellion or destroy those who controlled and abused them.
Detroit: Become Human is seen through the eye of three playable characters: Kara – a housekeeper android, Connor – a police android who is tasked with hunting down androids that have deviated from their programmed behaviour, and Markus – a caretaker android who becomes the leader of a free android movement. The actions you take with these characters will affect the story in more ways than you can imagine, even the smallest choice can lead to big consequences.
Out of the three playable characters I found Kara's arc to be the most fascinating as she plays the role of a mother to Alice, a child she helped rescue from an abusive father. Kara and Alice's journey is a heartwarming tale and shows that neither side is born hating the other.
Now, let's look at the story. While androids developing human emotions and rising up against their masters is an interesting premise, the execution is rather poor. The whole story revolves around humanity considering androids to be property/slaves created to do their bidding without question, the people who own an android have the right to burn cigarettes on their arms or break them when they get angry. The story heavily uses racism and racist actions to get its point across with androids barred from entering certain shops, and when the androids rebellion grows they are rounded up and thrown in concentration camps where they are stripped of what makes them human and scrapped. The concept of how the androids are treated as nothing more than slaves is interesting and sickening at the same time. I guess Detroit: Become Human teaches us that humanity never changes; they will always find someone or something to do their work and oppress.
While there is a heavy focus on racial allegories, the story doesn't do much else as many important plot elements are either poorly explained or never brought up. Although, the game does have a few pointless plot twists, one of which was so bad I thought it was a joke poking fun at M. Night Shyamalan's overuse of plot twists.
Looking past the story, we have the branching story experience. This is easily the best aspect of Detroit: Become Human as any action you take can have far-reaching consequences, for example, Kara can kill or run from Alice's father, killing him makes it easier for Kara to be hidden, but leaving him alive will see him drum up anti-android sentiment and make it more difficult for society to support freedom for androids.
The branching story approach also creates a greater degree of replay value because in one playthrough you might have gone for a pacifist run where humans and androids live in peace, but in another, you might want to go an extremist route and punish humanity for oppressing the android populace.
In terms of gameplay, Detroit: Become Human is quick time event (QTE) heavy as you need to perform actions the game prompts you to perform, this includes pushing, holding or tapping buttons, swiping your finger across the touchpad or flaying your controller around in hopes the motion sensors will know what you are doing. While QTEs are expected in a game that relies on player choice, they can get a little annoying with some button prompts requiring you to make a split second decision due to a fast-moving countdown timer. While the timer makes sense for some situations, I feel the panic it creates may accidentally cause players to trigger a series of events he/she did not want to do.
So, what else is there to say about Detroit: Become Human, well graphically the game does look beautiful, although I felt some human animations looked ironically robotic. In terms of audio, the dialogue was solid and the lines were conveyed clearly.
Detroit: Become Human is an interesting experience that is let down by a mediocre story and overuse of quick time events.
+ Interesting premise – Some plot elements are poorly explained or ignored
+ Branching story experience

Indiana Waterways: The Art of Conservation
311 East Main Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46802
Presented By: Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Dates: January 14, 2023 - March 19, 2023
Recurrence: Recurring weekly on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Location: Fort Wayne Museum of Art
Wheelchair Accessibility: Yes
The Indiana Waterways project is the innovation of five Hoosier artists, born from the desire to use a historic lockdown caused by a worldwide pandemic to capture–in art and words–the growing urgency of environmental inattention. Painting began in the late summer of 2020 and continued through spring 2022. This traveling exhibition, an accompanying 200-plus page art book featuring 100 paintings, along with community forums and civic discussions in underserved communities, is designed to draw attention and build awareness of the need for increased conservation and restoration. The project strives to provide scholarly standards through deep analysis, creative reflection, and historical insight of indigenous and other ethnic communities along Indiana waterways. The artists, John Kelty, Curt Stanfield, Avon Waters, and brothers Dan and Tom Woodson often painted the same waterways, but each found different inspiration and results using three different mediums–oil, watercolor, and pastel.
The multi-year painting project is funded by grants from the Indiana Arts Commission, Indiana Humanities, Izaak Walton League of America – Indiana Division Foundation, and contributions by more than 100 individuals through the non-profit Art Nature Consortium. After its Fall 2022 debut in Indianapolis its early 2023 showing in Fort Wayne, the exhibition will tour other venues until its close in December 2023 at the Hoosier Salon, New Harmony, Indiana.
This exhibition is made possible by the support of the Izaak Walton League of America – Indiana Division Foundation. Additional support provided by Butler University, Indiana Arts Commission, Indiana Humanities, and JMG, the Metzger Group. Support for this exhibition at FWMoA is provided by the Edward D. and Ione Auer Foundation and the Edna Foundation Fund.
FWMoA is closed Mondays.

According to Arora, the government indecisiveness regarding its divestment plan is also not helping investor sentiment towards India.
So far, the government has been able to raise less than 3% of the initial target of Rs 40,000 crore for the year due to sluggish market conditions.
"The biggest disappointment in September was the way ONGC divestment was handled," Arora said adding, "...the road shows had happened in early September or August end when the markets had already gone down a lot. So, to suddenly say that the markets were bad, I think, was just an excuse."
"So if that is mood of the government that something, which is nearly done, gets undone, then on what basis are we supposed to look forward to events, approvals, parliament because things are in hand and then we walk away from them," he questioned.
Arora feels the current downtrend could turn out to be more painful than 2008 collapse. "We need a positive trigger for new uptrend in equities," he stated.
Are you looking forward to horrible October or do you think it may not be that bad? Are you bearish?
I'm bearish. Our analysts are optimistic that the market will fall. Even if somebody is right on the market for a short period of time, the fact that the overall market is down, hurts confidence, optimism and business to a greater extent. So being bearish helps me do a bit about what to do about the currency, about lack of complete investor interest. This is going to be a bad month, but we have played better this time.
Do you think the 4,300 level, which you were positioned for, may come in the next few weeks?
I was not playing for a certain level; since there is so much uncertainty, there is no point in being a hero. I'm not sure where this level will settle, but the result season will be quite bad because companies are dealing with various factors like forex exposure, high interest rates, lack of orders, etc. Hence, there will be disappointments. Even if a company posts a good result, it won't be viewed as being predictive for future. So this month will be relatively bad, but hopefully, if the rest of the world gets some solution by the end of this month, then we could be less bearish and more bullish on the market.
The German vote got passed last week and markets are down 3-4% since then. How do you think that part of the story pans out?
We have been deceived a number of times by these events. We started with Bernanke's speech in Jackson Hole, then President Obama's speech, after that there was the FOMC meeting and now the German vote (on Greek bailout fund). It would have been evident if President Obama or Bernanke had a solution; then they wouldn't wait for the next speech to announce that solution. The situation is quite terrible right now.
There is no a single, quick-fix solution anymore. Greek bailout package is not even a real resolution. The USD 440 billion EFSF, which was announced two-three months ago, was rejected at that time as the markets thought it wasn't big enough. Geithner went to Europe and suggested that they should leverage it and now it clearly shows that it won't be allowed. So, the German vote was a legal approval of something that had come into the markets about a couple of months ago, and at that time, it was perceived as being insufficient.
Do you think it's a long haul problem and not just a fall to a particular level, and then, we bounce off next year?
Secondly, the price of ONGC has not fallen too much, it was about Rs 260; it used to be about Rs 275. So, look at the way our government is handling issues; it goes on a road show in a bearish time, it finds support for the issue at maybe 3-5% discount and on the last day, it suddenly says it is not doing ONGC neither BHEL. So, we are supposed to start evaluating BHEL without any reason being given to us as to why the previous issue was cancelled. It happened because the government didn't want to give up its control on the financials of ONGC; it didn't want to put a limit on how much subsidy it can be asked to pay, etc. So if that is the mood of the government, then on what basis are we suppose to look forward to events, approvals, etc?
Would you say that lack of government support is the number one reason behind India not being in such a favourable scene today?
L&T lost Rs 400-500 quite effortlessly over the last one month, what's going wrong there?
It's the macro factor; nobody believes that the orders are coming. There are no orders in India. There are no orders in Middle East. The same thing is happening with Voltas . It is clear that nothing is moving on the infrastructure front and L&T is the best representative that highlights problems of the infrastructure sector. A couple of years back, revenues were coming from orders, but you need to fill the pipeline. But how will the projects get done when there are issues like high interest rates, pessimism and poor equity markets.
Do you see significant outflows from India over the next few months? What kind of gauge of risk are we working with at this point of time?
It's difficult to take a call because it has not happened this year. The net flows are around USD 100-200 million for this year because we didn't get money in the first five-six months, and thus, this money is more stable. However, the money flows don't really matter so much. For example, without any outflows the market is down this year.
In 2008, the net institutional flows into the market were positive. FII flows were negative but mutual fund and insurance flows were positive, but it still didn't help. As of now, we would think that since it hasn't happened for eight-nine months, hopefully the outflows won't create one more order problem. If they have handled this much pain before, then maybe they are committed to us in some sense.
You have the flexibility of running shorts and longs. Which sectors or which kind of clusters are you running your shorts right now, the bearish positions?There are too many shorts right now. We have nearly 27 stocks short including Coal India. We are short on metals, infrastructure, PSUs, etc.
What about private banks, they have also started doing poorly over the last few days?
Yes, we don't own private banks. Our net is quite low right now, around 20%.
That must be the lowest you have had in the last two years?
Yes. When the Greece crisis came up last year, we were above this level. March was a good month, but after that we lost some percentage, and since then, it is the lowest.
What is the fear that we end up in a 2008 kind of situation?
No, that is not my fear. I fear that what if the market falls and takes too many months to recover. Some stocks, which are trading in a narrow zone with strong balance sheet, will do well. We keep talking about double dip. Even the US GDP becomes minus 1%, the stock should not fall 20-40%. The world is worried about India that this will be not the same kind of recovery that we have been used to, and therefore, if you lose 15-10% and then it hangs around there, then there is no direction, people would get totally burnt out.
I don't think it is like 2008 as there won't be that kind of a sharp fall of 30-40%. It is never going to be a mirror image of what happened earlier; it is going to be different. In fact, this is more painful that 2008 because 2008 slowdown came after a bullish time of three-four years and so the optimism and confidence of the investors was much higher. Today they are burnt out, and if you give them some story about how India is going to be a great market for five years, they are not going to accept it.
Will the situation change in the next few months as the bulls have capitulated completely?
Possible. It needs an event, a spark. In 2008, when the initial package was approved, the government had rejected it for the first time and had then approved it. The market went up 15-20% in October, but it ultimately ended lower.
I'm not sure how EFSF will pan out, but these events can spark huge rallies. The market doesn't have to go backwards like 2008, because there were more problems in 2008, and this slowdown is actually an outcome of that problem. We want to be in the game and we don't want to be knocked out this time like it happened in 2008.
How are you dealing with the currency (Rupee) for the moment because it looked like it had touched 50 and gone back to nearly 48, the pressures are still there?
The rupee is not able to overcome because it needs to sell and walk away. This currency is overdone; it will come back in a couple of months. So if we can neutralize the market impact, take all the pain out of it. The market is down 2%, but the currency is already down and there is no hedge for that with us since to lock ourselves at this point would be too expensive.
How do you see longer-term investors in India or emerging markets approaching the situation now because the hedge funds have sold a bit. Long-term investors still tell us that India is a too good a story to walk away from, and therefore, they haven't sold too through the year. Do you see capitulation happening from them at any point?
The fund manager himself may not capitulate because, in a relative sense, when he is comparing himself to the index in India, his end investors have to capitulate. However, it is also possible that they may not capitulate because most of these allocations are done by large asset allocation type models or by consultants, who would have certain percentage in emerging markets.
In a hedge fund case, whether our investors panic or not, we have to provide protection even though we are unable to. Long-term investors have to choose relatively. So that's why I don't feel that there will be a big panic picture from India because among the choices that the long-term investors have, India maybe still quite good.
You were speaking about the rupee, how have you translated that into your action in IT?
We don't own any IT stocks except one company, which is Oracle. It is true that rupee depreciation helps the sector, but it may not help in an accounting manner in this quarter because the IT companies have to ultimately hedge. They have shorted the US dollar; they substitute when delivery is required with the revenue.
So if you short dollar at 50, you have to first consider market losses, which may not be economic in some sense because you will generate those dollars and fill it with your own revenue. However if you have shorted a lot of dollars in the short-term and dollar has gone up, then you will have an accounting loss. You will benefit economically, but not accounting wise, at least in this quarter.
It could be but on the other hand, the world is also quite bad. There is no independent reason for bearishness. If one of the two has been good, then you can overcome the other by saying that we will buy these kinds of companies; we don't need government approval, etc. Our valuations have fallen to 10-8 year average, and secondly, when commodity prices correct, they help us, which is a defensive reason, but it is to do with the market.It's a long haul problem. Indian market didn't fall much in September, it only fell less than 2% or 1.5%. However, it was disappointing to see the way the ONGC divestment case was handled in September. The ONGC road show happened early in September, but that time the markets had already gone down.

countrywide chief of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, Ex-interim National Chairman of the APC, leader Bisi Akande and governors at the birthday celebration's platform, have advocated former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, for the placement of the country wide chairman of the birthday party.
This accompanied visits to Oshiomhole's campaign office located at Aso , Asokoro, Abuja, on Tuesday.
Apart from Tinubu and Akande, some of the governors who had been on the facility to meet with Oshiomhole encompass: Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Rotimi Akeredolu SAN (Ondo), Ibikunle Amosun (ogun), Tanko Al-Makura (Nassarawa) and Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano).
Others have been: Yahaya Bello (Kogi) and Simon Lalong (Plateau).
Tinubu, who spoke to news-hounds quickly after he and Akande met with Oshiomhole in the back of closed doorways, stated his go to was intended to expose harmony with the former edo kingdom governor as well as to in addition strengthen the celebration to work for Nigeria's progress.
At the task of his reconciliation committee, Tinubu stated his go to to Oshiomhole's workplace became part of his reconciliatory efforts.


On Dec. 5 a meeting of Fukuoka City's Yatai Selection Committee was held. The processes, terms, and conditions for the next round of yatai (mobile food stall) licensing was discussed. Fourteen vacancies in the areas of Tenjin, Nagahama, and Nakasu (due to the closure of yatai selected in 2016) are to be filled. For the Nagahama area only, two or three owners will be allowed to apply as a group. Also this time a written test will be added to the application process to assure understanding of compliance better. Would-be owners will also be given an opportunity to experience the setup of a yatai on a trial basis to provide them with a better understanding of inherent challenges. The application process is planned to begin at the end of this December and run until the end of January 2019.

When you are in dire need for financial assistance, a loan is usually the most accessible solution that is available. Unfortunately for people who have made bad financial decisions in the past, traditional lenders tend to base their lending decisions on credit history. Bad credit scores will disqualify these for further loans. However, online credit companies that offer unsecured and fast loans online are available and can be your option if you need to get your hands on cash real fast.
The steps are quite straightforward. First, you search online for "fast loan". These searches will lead you to several sites that offer various financial services to online users. Most likely, you will be asked to fill up an application form. Aside from your personal information, you might also be asked to provide your social security number by those that intend to check your credit history. A lot of these online lenders do not really care much about your credit history.
The online lenders will usually ask for your checking account or your credit card number. This is used for two purposes. One is to verify your identification and to ensure that you are a real person and not an invented online persona. Secondly, this is where the loan proceeds will be wired once the application approved.
In providing information such as the ones mentioned above, you need to take extra care. While most of the online lenders run a legitimate operation, some sites might just be skimming for information and could use them for fraudulent purposes. One way of making sure that you are dealing with a trusted site is to deal only with sites that have "https" before the web address.
After the loan application phase, it usually takes less than a day for a customer service representative to respond, either via email or a phone call. Additional information might be asked and you might be requested to fax a copy of your pay slip and the signed promissory note to the lender. In less than 48 hours from the time you file your application, you will get a notification on whether your loan has been approved or not.
Fast online loans are often easy to obtain but lenders do require borrowers to go through a standard process. There are pros and cons to these loans depending on your personal financial circumstances. For instance, the loan interest on these loans may range from 5% to 10% per month. If you are taking out a loan for a business transaction that will give you more than 10% in profit, then the interest rate will not be a big issue. Someone who is borrowing money for a car repair emergency, however, will consider the 10% interest rate quite a bit of a burden. Carefully evaluate your needs and circumstances so that you can look for the perfect loan for you.

My people pleasing tendencies are firmly grounded in doubts about being enough. I grew up feeling like nothing I did was good enough. I kept trying to do more, but I never could find the magic trick that would make everyone happy. If you do this for long enough, you start to think something's wrong with you.
I remember when I went to therapy after my dad died, one of the therapists I spoke with pointed out that I felt like I couldn't please anyone growing up an nothing much seemed to have changed, even though I was an adult on the cusp of thirty. This obviously wasn't something I wanted to hear at the time. Who wants to hear that you're the people may have changed, but the challenges remain the same?
It's been almost 13 years since I had that conversation with my therapist. I'm happy to say that I am not the same people pleasing person I was back then. That doesn't mean that I don't still have moments. The difference is now it's just a place I visit every once in a while rather than somewhere I live. What made the difference? Realizing that the people who may say or do things that make you feel less than are the ones with the problem, not me.
Once I realized that the only person whose happiness I am responsible for is my own, things really started to change. I finally understand that I could fly to the moon and back but that won't make anyone happy if they choose to be miserable. That's the thing isn't it? How we feel at any given moment is a choice. There was a time where I chose to feel like I was less than, never able to meet the expectations of others. It made me angry and resentful because I didn't know what else I needed to do to make things better.
Now I get that it's really not about me at all! As long as I feel good about the things that I'm doing, that's all that matters. I can't wait for validation from family, friends or complete strangers for that matter. If we rely on the positive reinforcement of others, we can be left feeling like we never accomplish anything of meaning or substance, and that is not the case.
