The 108 Interview Series – Write Sox
Here at the 108, it is our job….our duty to bring to you the great personalities of White Sox twitter, either via tweet / photo / video or blog post. In continuing with the tradition of bringing you "the goods" from White Sox twitter we have our interview with one of the OG's (the originals) of White Sox twitter, the legend Tom Fornelli aka Write Sox.
Favorite Game That You Were At:
It was Game 1 of the 2005 ALDS. It was the end of April 2005 when I began telling friends that I thought the White Sox had a real shot of winning it all that season. There was just a feeling about the team, and even if I knew the hot start wouldn't last forever, I was just impressed. Then, of course, the entire season happened, and even though they won the division and reached the playoffs, I was suddenly very nervous. The White Sox just don't make the playoffs very often! And in my lifetime my memories of White Sox playoff berths were losing to the Blue Jays in six in 93 and then getting swept by the Mariners in 2000.
Now, here they were facing the defending champs, and I was worried about the potential heartbreak coming my way. Those worries faded fast, as the White Sox kicked the crap out of Boston that day, winning 14-2 and lighting up Matt Clement for 5 runs in the first inning. Even Scotty Pods homered in that game, his first all season (the second would be more memorable), and it was during that game I became fully convinced we were gonna win the whole fucking thing.
Favorite All Time Player That Doesn't Have a Statue On the Concourse:
Robin Ventura. I will always be angry at him for becoming the manager of this team and giving me a reason to dislike him because he and Frank Thomas were the two players I idolized growing up. And as great as Frank was, I was more hurt when Robin left as a free agent to sign with the Mets than I was when Frank left after 2005. At least Frank won a ring here.
Favorite Drink and Dinner at the Park:
I'm a basic bitch. Give me a Miller Lite (or a Modelo now) and a hot dog with onions and mustard.
Favorite Place to Sit:
It used to be anywhere, but the older I've gotten, the fewer games I go to. These days I'm more a quality than a quantity guy, and there are usually some seats available on StubHub in the first or second row right behind the visitor's on-deck circle that I enjoy. They can suck when Albert Pujols decides to park his giant ass right in front of you and block your view, but other than that they're great. You learn things like Mike Trout is happy to move a foot to the left if you ask him to.
Favorite Uniform:
My favorites are the current home whites with the black pinstripes. I hate the 83s.
Favorite Giveaway:
The Sox have had some outstanding ones in recent years, and I think the Hawk alarm clock was the most inspired, but I'm a sucker for bobbleheads.
Favorite Theme Night:
I guess I'll say Dog Day. I would never bring my dog to the park because the last thing I want to do while trying to watch a baseball game is worry about what my dog is trying to do while I'm watching a baseball game, but I don't mind when other people have their dogs there.
What irks you the most about White Sox fans?:
The insecurity. Yes, we are the other baseball team in town. Yes, we are the smaller fan base. Who fucking cares? Why do we care? Why do we get bothered by it? I fall victim to it too sometimes. I wish we could all reach a point where we truly stopped caring what anybody else thinks about us and focus all of our anger in the right direction at all times.
What is the worst part of being a Sox fan?:
You mean aside from rooting for a franchise that rarely experiences success, and has to do everything on their terms and nobody else's? Nothing.
Worst part of the game day experience?:
My only problem with the game day experience is when there are too many other people experiencing it with me. Some people complain about the lack of attendance at White Sox games. I love it. Leave me the hell alone and let me watch a baseball game.
What really grinds your gears?:
People who treat Rick Hahn like he's accomplished anything. The team has gone 419-553 (.431) since he became the full-time GM, but since he was able to trade great players on affordable contracts for highly-rated prospects, he's looked at as if he's done something. Find me a GM in baseball who couldn't have traded Sale, Quintana and Eaton for good players. It's like congratulating somebody for selling a house they inherited for market value. They ignore that Hahn had those players on his team and couldn't put a winning team around him. I see fans with Rick's face on t-shirts, and it blows my mind. You don't see Bulls fans wearing GarPax shirts, yet they've done far more than Hahn ever has.
Least Favorite White Sox player of all time:
Jaime Navarro. The Sox signed him to a $20 million deal before 1997. A month earlier they had signed Albert Belle to the biggest deal in club history. Belle lived up to the hype but had the clause in his deal where he had to be a top three paid player in MLB, and instead of spending an additional $4 million, the Sox let him leave. Navarro didn't have that option. He was here for four years, and he sucked so bad. They traded him away to save money, but I'm convinced that Jaime Navarro is the reason Reinsdorf won't spend big money on free agents. Jaime Navarro is the reason Reinsdorf wouldn't guarantee Machado more than $250 million. He was worried he'd be stuck paying a shitty player like he had to with Jaime Navarro.
Most memorable experience as a White Sox fan:
How can it be anything other than 2005? Sure, every season that passes since proves that it was a Black Swan event, but they still can't take it away from us. My friends and I showered each other in champagne out in the street that night. Times were had. Memories were fuzzy.
Ballpark experience, how could it be better?:
Make sure it's between 65 and 80 degrees and sunny every day. Other than that, I don't really care. I'm there for the game, so a better team would be nice, but while I like the bars they've added to the park, I'm not sure I'd care as much about them if the team didn't suck.
Best Sox Park hack?:
It's not really a hack as much as it's a recommendation. Go to a game alone on a weekday afternoon. Hell, just go to a game alone. I did it for the first time a few years ago, and no offense to friends, family, and other loved ones, but there's no better way to go to the game. Not having to worry about anybody else while you're there is terrific. For me, anyway.
What brings you back for every game?:
It's nothing specific. Like I said earlier, I don't go nearly as often as I used to, and I don't plan on going to a single game this season. I prefer watching the games on television because I'm a nerd that likes to follow the pitching sequences and those kinds of things that you can't pick up on at the park. Still, going to the game is usually fun, but I'm currently in a state where I don't feel like giving this franchise my money until it does something to earn it. The charity is over. So I guess the answer is behaving like a franchise that wants to win games more than it wants to win the bottom line will be what brings me back for every game.
Feelings on the wave?:
I hate it. I have never participated in a wave, nor will I ever participate in a wave. That said, I no longer get as mad about them as I used to. The people doing it have been forced to watch the same shitty team I have the last few years, and we all deal with our grief in different ways.
Which Gate is your favorite to enter the park from?:
I guess it would be Gate 5 since I usually park over there and that's the closest gate.
How Early Do You Get To Games?:
I'm always early no matter where I'm going. I would say I typically get there about 30 minutes before first pitch. Gives me time to acquire beverages and food without feeling like I'll miss anything. Plus, there's just something peaceful about the park at that time.
What Do You Bring To Games?:
My cell phone, my keys and my wallet.
How Many Games Do You Go To Each Year?:
It used to be between 5 and 15. Now I'd say between 1 and 5. This year, none.
Section 108 Questions
What is your favorite baseball word?:
Line-drive.
What is your least favorite baseball word?:
Rainout.
What get's you excited about the White Sox?:
Anybody who follows me on Twitter knows how pissed off I am this spring about developments or the lack of them, but when Opening Day rolls around, I'll be just as excited about it as I was when I was a kid because this is the one team left that causes me to feel real human emotions. My job has eroded a lot of the living and dying with a team that many fans experience. Like, with the Bulls, Bears and Blackhawks, when they do well, it's great, but when they suck it doesn't hurt me. I can laugh it off. When the White Sox suck, it hurts my soul. So when Opening Day comes around, and technically anything is still possible, I'll be excited. Once May arrives…
What makes you sad about the White Sox?:
The realization that things aren't going to change. This is a franchise that clearly wanted a player. They wanted this player so severely that they considered trading away some of their top prospects to get him for a year in hopes of convincing him this is where he wanted to be. They even brought in this player's brother-in-law and best friend to make them a more attractive destination. But then, when it came time to put up or shut up, they decided to draw a line in the sand. It was the strangest fucking thing. You were willing to do all of that, but you couldn't guarantee a couple of extra years and dollars? This after you spent the last year telling your fans that you were ready to step up to the table when the opportunity presented itself? That makes me sad. It's not that they lost. I can lose. It's that they chose to lose, proving yet again that their willingness to do what it takes to win has a limit. So we have to wait for another anomaly like 2005.
What sound or noise at the ballpark do you love?:
Fastball hitting the catcher's mitt.
What sound or noise at the ballpark do you hate?:
Anybody who whistles or whoops or whatever. If you're gonna be noisy, at least say something funny to make me laugh.
What is your favorite Hawkism?:
"Well, I'll tell you what, I don't know if Player X is the best I've ever seen at Doing Random Thing, but I don't remember anybody better."
Why did you kill @NotHawk?:
A few reasons. The biggest was that it just wasn't fun anymore. I started the account on a lark because I always had this strange idea of a dark, sinister Hawk away from the ballpark, and I thought I would put that character out there. And it was a lot of fun, and everyone liked it. But it's like writing a TV show. After a while, you're just doing the same tropes over and over again, and it loses its entertainment value. I write for a living, and I'm a creative person, and I approached the account that way. Once it stopped being a creative outlet and felt like something I was obligated to do just because people enjoyed it. And I'm glad they did, but all good things have to come to an end. Plus the anonymity was gone. Nobody knew who I was for like the first year, and then I let a select few people know. I think the first person I confessed to was Scott Merkin. Then others were told or at least figured it out, and once that anonymity was gone, it lost some luster as well. I did finally find out from somebody in the organization of Hawk was aware of its existence, and it turns out he was, but that he "didn't get it." I like to think he did, but he didn't want to admit it because the character was actually dead-on.
If you revived @NotHawk for a day, what would be your first tweet?:
Anybody know where I can get an eight-ball in Granger?
We aren't the biggest college football fans here in the 108, but we do fucking love the Bottom 25, where did the idea come from and do you ever get any weird interactions with fans related to the column?:
It was a pretty simple idea, really. College sports all have top 25 polls, but there aren't any rankings for the worst teams. ESPN had been doing a Bottom 10 for a while, but it wasn't an actual ranking as much as it was a column that allowed the writer to write whatever they wanted to. I have a ranking system that's based on performance (wins, losses, stats, all that shit) that I rank every single team with, so I figured why not do a weekly column ranking the 25 worst teams every week? People will like it. It's become more popular than I anticipated. As for fan interactions, yeah, because fans of bigger schools don't get it. They aren't used to seeing their teams considered awful because they play in the SEC or whatever. So, early in the season when there are fewer results to work with, and things can be wonky, an 0-1 Georgia (or whoever) could be in The Bottom 25 if they played poorly enough in that one game, and that leads to a lot of angry people in my mentions and inbox. But what might be weirder is the fans of the truly awful programs who root for their team to win The Bottom 25 title. At the end of the day, all any of us want is for our teams to win something.
You release picks on your twitter, a lot of people don't know, but BeefLoaf and Chorizy were pretty serious advantage players in the not too distant past, so the question is, do you bet half Kelly or are you a real man and bet full Kelly?
Full Kelly.
How come you haven't been writing about the White Sox on your blog?
Well, from mid-August to mid-January it's just tough for me to find the time due to work. Then, after the college football season ends, I like to take some time to decompress. I'm writing five features a week during the season, as well as a few other stories on anything that might come up. It's tiring! It's hard to use your brain so much. I used to work 40 hours a week at "real jobs" that involved using my actual body, and I was never as tired physically than as I am mentally during a college football season. Plus, honestly, there's nothing I can't say on the blog that I can't share just as easily on Twitter. That's not to say I won't write on the site this season; it's just I never created the site as a place where I'm going to sit down and write. It's just there if I need it.
One on One basketball game, who wins you or BarstoolBigCat?:
I do. Big Cat can't shoot. He'd be the first to tell you that. He doesn't move. He just rebounds. I can shoot. I can dribble. I'm the same size as he is, so he has no advantage on me there. I'd wreck him.
WhiteSox hypothetical, you can either have a new owner with a big bankroll (think John Henry), but you are stuck with Rick Hahn for the entire time OR you have to keep Jerry Reinsdorf, but you can go out and get Andrew Friedman or Billy Beane or whoever you want to GM, whatchu taking?:
Give me the money. Every team in baseball has a "smart GM" now, but for some reason, it's the teams that spend the money who are more consistently successful. If Jerry Reinsdorf tells Rick Hahn to guarantee Machado $350 million, Hahn's a genius right now.
Who wins in a fight, you or Chris Rongey?:
Well, I'd never underestimate an opponent in a fight, but I have to say I would win the fight because if I don't think I can win the fight, I'm not going to win the fight. That said, I haven't been in a real fight in like 15 years. For all I know Rongey's roaming the streets of St. Louis picking fights to stay in game shape.
What is the current best "@Not" twitter account right now?:
I don't know. I mute them all.
Do you have any favorite #108ing stories you'd like to share, ballpark or otherwise?:
Most aren't for public consumption. One of the least damning stories involves going to a game when I was like 22 with a friend and his younger brother. The game was in a rain delay, so we just sat in his van and finished a 30-pack of Old Style between the three of us while waiting it out. My friend, who was driving, only had six cuz he was driving! The other 24 were split between the kid brother (he was like 19 I think) and me. The first pitch wasn't until around 9:30 pm after the delay, and we made our way into the park and sat in right field by the visitor's bullpen, very drunk, and very loud. The game ended some time after midnight. I don't remember who they played that night. I don't remember who won. I don't remember going home. But I remember the rain delay.
What's your greatest fear about the "rebuild"?:
My fear about the rebuild is the same as it was before it began. That the prospects wouldn't pan out, that many of them would suffer injuries, and that when the time came for it to happen, the Sox wouldn't spend the money needed to supplement the youth. Hope those things don't happen!
The thing about rebuilds these days is that with both the Cubs and Astros winning titles recently, fans seem to think it's as easy as Rebuilding = Championships. And that's not how it works, nor has it ever been. Sports are filled with teams who rebuilt and never won shit. Hell, the Royals were rebuilding for 30 years before they finally won a World Series. Rebuilding doesn't guarantee anything but a few shitty years of baseball.
What is there about this team that excites you the most?:
It's gotta be Eloy at this point, right? What else is there?
Give us a #HotTake about the rebuild.:
Eloy will be the only great player to emerge from the process, and even then, he'll do so as a DH so he'll be of limited value.
Favorite White Sox Twitter Account (Besides @fromthe108) and why?:
The way I use Twitter has changed a lot in recent years. It used to be for entertainment. Now it's just a vehicle for information gathering and sharing thoughts or bad jokes. So I guess my favorite White Sox account is Fegan's?
Person from White Sox Twitter that you'd most like to meet and why?:
If I ever get back out to the park, I'll hang out with you guys for a few innings. Other than that, I've pretty much met everyone I've ever felt the need to meet. The only person left on the list is Margalus. We've been on these White Sox blogger streets together for over a decade but never actually met.
Favorite Non-White Sox Twitter Account and why?:
@TomFornelli. He's handsome and funny.
What do you like best about @fromthe108?:
The general lack of giving a fuck. Like, you give a fuck, but you don't give a fuck. Does that make sense?
Favorite White Sox related blog or podcast and why?:
SoxMachine is my favorite blog. No offense to anybody else, as I read nearly all of them, but SoxMachine is the one I read the most regularly. Jim's always been a writer I admire. I don't always agree with him, but whether I agree with what he's saying, I usually love the way he says it. As for podcasts, I don't listen to a lot of sports-related podcasts to begin with. Pardon My Take is the only one I listen to regularly, and I'm not even sure that's a sports podcast as much as it's a parody of sports radio. All the other podcasts I listen to regularly are related to things outside of sports. I work in sports. I consume sports on TV. I am on a couple of sports related podcasts myself. When it comes to podcasts, I don't want sports.
What is your favorite alcoholic drink for #108ing?  Be specific and feel free to go with more than one if you need to.  What about your favorite beer style?:
I'm simple. Beer. My favorite beer is Miller High Life. If I want to class things up, I'll take a whiskey neat. I drink Maker's Mark more often than anything, but I'm open to different brands. Just not Jim Beam. Had one of those teenaged experiences where I drank too much Beam one night, and now the smell of it makes me think of vomiting.
Favorite cut of Steak?  Prepared?:
I like a New York Strip, medium rare.
Gimme an "Uncle Rico" moment from your prior sports playing past.:
One time in a Little League game a girl I had a crush on showed up to one of my games with my sister (we're twins). Before my at bat I noticed her standing behind the backstop watching. She said, "let's go Tom" or something to that effect. I then proceeded to hit the first pitch roughly 350 feet. The fences were at like 250. The ball soared majestically over them. I not only admired it, but took my time making my way around the bases, and then once I passed third I proceeded to high-step it home like Deion Sanders returning a punt. The umpire was more than a little upset with my shenanigans but did not toss me from the game because you can't toss a player for being awesome. The next day at school I asked the girl out on a date. She said no. I guess she didn't like awesome either.
Where would you take @ChiPartyAunt out on a date?:
No, but I'd take her home.
Favorite performance-enhancing drug?:
Confidence.
Who do you hate more Jim Belushi or John Cusack?:
I don't hate either. But I find Belushi to be less appealing.
What Other Chicago Teams Do You Enjoy:
Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks. I'd like to enjoy the Fire, but they haven't given me a reason to.
Favorite Chicago Sports History Moment:
Favorite All-Time Sox Broadcaster:
It has to be Hawk. He narrated most of my life.
Any Stories About Running Into or Meeting White Sox Players? Other Chicago Athletes?:

What is your favorite song?:
Right now it is Shallows from the A Star Is Born soundtrack. Next week it will be something else.
Favorite TV Show (or Netflix or HBO or whatever the fuck)?:
Of shows currently airing, it's Game of Thrones or Better Call Saul. Of all time it's the earlier seasons of The Simpsons.
Married or Single? Looking for a GF?:
Not married but I've been with the same woman for a decade and we've lived together for the last six of those years. So I'm married, but not legally.
Do you remember your first Sox game?:
No, because I was not yet a year old.
What Player had the greatest impact on you?:
Frank Thomas.
What was the happiest day watching the Sox?:
Game 4 of the 2005 World Series.
What was the saddest day watching the Sox?:
Game 6, 1993 ALCS.
What do you do for work? If you could be or do anything else – what?:
I write about sports. If I could do anything outside the world of sports, I'd probably be a broke ass comedian.
If you could live in any other time, when might that be?:
I'm good here and now, to be honest.
If you could have dinner with five White Sox Players, past and present, who would they be?:
Frank Thomas, Robin Ventura, Paul Konerko, A.J. Pierzynski, and Mark Buehrle.
If you could change one thing in your past, what might that be?:
I wouldn't have gone home with Chicago Party Aunt.
What are you most proud of?:
Turning a Chicago sports blog with a small but loyal readership into a full-time job at CBSSports.com.
How would you like to be remembered?:
These are some profound, philosophical questions all of a sudden. I'd like to be remembered as a good, fun person who was right about fucking everything.
What's the one thing about you few people know?:
I would argue they already know too much.
What do you dislike most about yourself?:
That my body didn't stop aging at 25.
What do you dislike most in others?:
The things I dislike in myself. Just blew your fucking mind.
What were your best/worst subjects in school?:
I was a very good student. I didn't have any worst subjects until I got to Calculus, but even then I knew enough about math to get an A on the finals and earn a C besides never going to the class or studying. God bless multiple choice finals.
What do you like doing in your spare time?:
I read. In my Japanese soaking tub. It's great.
Who is your celebrity crush?:
I would do unspeakable things to earn the favor of Padma Lakshmi.
What is your favorite movie?:
Godfather 2.
What is your favorite baseball movie?:
Major League.
What is your biggest/weirdest fear?:

What would be your one superpower?:
The ability to paint the corners with a 99mph fastball.
What would you change your name to?:
Jupiter Forza.
What pet would you love to have?:
I would genuinely love having a pet wolf that's free to come and go as they please and just come home to hang out at the end of the day and get its belly rubbed.
What's your one biggest pet peeve?:
Anybody who refuses to reconsider a position.
What's your one annoying habit?:
Caring about the White Sox.
What would be a good theme song for your life?:
I hope there's never a song that can adequately describe my entire life.

As I mentioned in the Weifeng WF-595T Traveller Alu-Mg Tripod Review the Weifeng WF-533H 2way Pan-Tilt Video Head is mainly coming as a kit with the WF-533T Flip Lock classic tripod.
However since it stands out as a fairly cheap solution for shooting video it can be found sold separately.
The price tag was quite tempting for me to get this head, which may described as an early attempt for a fluid head from a Chinese manufacturer engaged in mass tripod production, intended mostly for internal Chinese market consumption and as an OEM for some known brands.
Nonetheless, as also mentioned in the WF-595T review, this review is also published as a reference for comparison of older to more up to date designs.
Snap on Quick Release plate is bi-directional.
Detail of set screw for leveling the horizontal plate.
Smooth panning and tilting with heavy silicone buffered motion.
Snap on quick release elongated video plate.
Harshly adjustable friction for panning or tilting.
Non universal quick release plate.
This article is still under construction till all texts are duly prepared. In the meantime the article stands as a reference page and photo guide to the Weifeng WF-533H 2Way Pan Tilt Video Head.

Malaysia's Anwar says he resisted advice to go into exile to avoid jail term
In this picture taken on April 9, 2014 Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim speaks during an interview at his party office in Kuala Lumpur. -- FILE PHOTO: AFP
Apr 25, 2014, 11:03 pm SGT
http://str.sg/Zkpi
KUALA LUMPUR (The Nation/Asia News Network) - Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said yesterday he has resisted advice to go into exile to avoid a jail term stemming from sodomy charges against him.
Anwar said the advice that he stay behind in London after a recent conference there came from several prominent political figures. They included former United States vice-president Al Gore and the former president of Ireland Mary Robinson, who were concerned that he would not get a fair trial.
Anwar, a former deputy prime minister and now leader of the opposition Parti Keadilan Rakyat, is facing a five-year jail term after the Court of Appeal overturned his acquittal on sodomy charges.
He is appealing the sentence, but admitted his prospects were bleak because the Malaysian judiciary is under political control.
Anwar said foreign leaders he met in London were concerned that he would be sent back to jail.
"All of them advised me to stay back in London because there is no point coming back to jail," he said. "But without hesitation I decided to come home because this is my country."
Anwar said many of his supporters in Malaysia would accept it if he chose to stay overseas "because they would be disheartened to see me endure a prison sentence again".
Criticising the Najib government for what he described as widespread corruption and cronyism, Anwar said he would continue to wage the fight for reform from inside the country despite the threat of another prison term.
"I have to overcome fears," said the firebrand politician who led the opposition coalition to win the popular vote in last year's general elections to deny the ruling Umno-led coalition a two-thirds majority.
While insisting that he was not upset by the decision of US President Barack Obama not to meet him during his visit to Kuala Lumpur, Anwar said he was disappointed that Obama did not use the trip to show that the US was consistent with its policy of supporting democratic values.
Anwar said while the US was seen as supporting dictatorial and authoritarian regimes, it could not be silent when people fighting for democratic reforms were suppressed.
"Here they can't be muted when the Umno regime uses courts to deny my rights and (the rights of) those other political leaders," he said.

Dyspnea's Resort 2018 show involved a cruise on Sydney Harbour. Image courtesy of Getty Images.
All too quickly the last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia shows rolled around with eight remaining presentations left on the schedule. After a colourful few days full of ruffles, sequins and all kind of prints, Day Four served up some brilliant shows which reinforced the trends of the week with high highlights including VMajor, Mariam Seddiq, Akira, Dyspnea, Akira and Romance Was Born.
The iconic Icebegs Pool in Bondi provided the stunning backdrop for the fifth collection by Ten Pieces titled Vertical Stripes 41 -50. The unisex label intends the pieces to be mixed and matched so you can wear one piece or 10, it was also a collaboration with Woolmark Company. The collection has a strong influence of modern day punk mixed with streetwear and featured clean lines in the key colours of black, white and bold red for a strong colour kick. Stand out styles included the white long hanging hoodies with black zips for a contrasting effect.
The Raffles International Showcase saw seven talented emerging designers from Raffles College of Design and Commerce send ten ready-to-wear pieces each down the runway. Ashleigh Kwong, Carley Rose The Label, Ènve, Nara, Occupants, Warrawut and Whatev were the labels chosen to represent Raffles and each delivered their own unique style with a clear vision for their collections. One of the standouts was Nara whose womenswear pieces were inspired by the hippy American culture with design elements based on 1940s geometric cuts and detailing. Strong tailoring, neon brights and clever use of denim made this a collection to remember. Warrawut also impressed with a menswear collection influenced by French colonial architecture that felt cohesive and contemporary. The delicately beaded and very colourful collection of Carley Rose the Label was also noteworthy for its beautiful take on ethical womenswear.
Mariam Seddiq mixed contemporary sportwear with high fashion for an elegant monochromatic collection accented with pale pink. Her style incorporated architecture and art to deliver a strong design direction evident throughout the collection. Black abstract illustrations added a compelling layer to the pieces while Swarovski crystals heightened the glamorous evening looks. The collection ran the gamut of relaxed daywear in sporty styles to carefully constructed eveningwear that cleverly referenced sportswear in a refined way. Gorgeous full skirts and mini dresses were oh so covetable and the overall collection had a confident and sophisticated feel.
Vmajor came over from China to showcase their collection at MBFWA with designers Victor Zhu's and Nicole Lin's relaxed range a perfect match for the laid-back but chic Australian aesthetic. Their contemporary womenswear collection included lots of texture with fringing, tassels and frayed edges featuring on cleverly tailored dresses, wide-legged pants and shirting. Soft colours mixed with blues and olive worked beautifully on semi-sheer looks and helped the casually elegant feel of the collection.
Their ain't no party like a boat party and the Dyspnea crew took the fashion set out for a jaunt on the harbour to showcase their Resort collection. The brand is definitely for bold girls who love to stand out and Dyspnea delivered a fun, vibrant collection full of quirky ideas in pastel hues with pops of crimson and black. Loads of sheer looks meant this was not a range for the faint-hearted while a 90s club kid influence came across with all the tops and dresses accented with marabou and mesh.
Akira Isogawa's eponymous brand has been evolving over the past couple of seasons into more androgynous looks that toy with sportwear influences. His Resort 2018 collection was a masterful range of strong pieces that demonstrated gender fluidity with the male and female looks mostly interchangeable hence the collection title "Duality". Bold colours, stripes and abstract prints featured on relaxed pieces in contemporary silhouettes. Striped socks, baseball caps, JBL Everest headphones and Nike shoes enhanced the sporty feel while Japanese motifs, charming floral prints, sequins and appliqué details referenced the artistic aesthetic Akira has long been known for.
There 90s vibes were strong at Strateas.Carlucci's Resort 2018 show with designers Peter Strateas and Mario-Luca Carlucci sending a collection full of PVC, plaid, denim and velvet down the runway. Boxy, over-sized shapes in everything from suiting to trenches were tied at the waist with cut-out details and ruching on shirts and dresses adding femininity. Denim was worn baggy with skater chains for a true 90s look while exaggerated sleeves and contemporary silhouettes kept things modern.
You can always count on Romance Was Born to produce a theatrical show that is memorable and engaging so they were the perfect choice to close the last day of shows in their own inimitable style. Titled Electro Orchid their Resort 2018 collection was a fringed, sequin-covered, tulle-infested delight with colourful look after colourful look taking to the eerily lit and orchid festooned runway. Unicorn horns, rainbow dresses and layers of frills add a sense of fun and frivolity that perfectly encapsulated the brand's signature style. They even closed with an ethereal but somewhat creepy bride who had a Miss Havisham inspired feel before designers Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett delivered their bow to a crescendo of disco music.

Birds eye: The release of 2022 statistical reports
Two flagship statistical reports in the field of (higher) education were released in October.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has published Education at a glance 2022: OECD indicators. This annual publication provides data on the state of education systems across OECD countries including their structure, finances and performance. The 2022 edition focuses on tertiary education, looking at the rise of tertiary attainment and the associated benefits for individuals and for societies. It also considers the costs of tertiary education and how spending on education is divided across levels of government and between the state and individuals. A summary of the findings on tertiary education is available as a separate publication Spotlight on Tertiary Education: Findings from Education at a Glance 2022.
This year's OECD report established that international student mobility has been expanding consistently over the past two decades, with 6.4 million students worldwide who have crossed a border to study, more than twice the number in 2007. On the inclusion front, tertiary completion rates are subject to biggest challenges, especially for students whose parents did not complete upper secondary education.
Jointly issued by the DAAD and the DZHW, the 22nd edition of Wissenschaft weltoffen explores the repercussions of the global pandemic for the international mobility of students and teachers. Special emphasis is placed on the following spotlight topics:
The development of international student mobility in the key host countries around the world during the first year of the pandemic
The evolving number of international students in Germany in 2021
Changes in the degree-related international mobility of German students in major host countries during the first year of the pandemic
The success and withdrawal of international students in Germany.
The employment situation and quantitative development of international doctoral students at German universities based on the DZHW's National Academics Panel Study (Nacaps).
The Wissenschaft weltoffen website has been further enriched with content and will shortly offer an interactive tool for the analysis and evaluation of international student mobility to enable users to customise data representations and data export.

The day seemed to carry happy emotions as the young woman known as Alexis Cloverfield slipped into the throng of people. The crowd obviously overwhelmed her as she slid past many people, all chattering happily. The sounds of their happy Pokemon filled her ears as she smiled down at the fluffy brown Eevee trailing next to her with splendid grace and ease.
"Oh, you're so silly, Scarlet." She giggled at the Eevee. "Eeee!" It purred, before stopping as they both heard a commotion coming from nearby.
"What could that be?" She asked Scarlet, her nose wrinkling.The Eevee cocked her head up at her trainer and murred. "Let's go look!"She bent down and picked up the rambunctious Pokemon and ran towards the sounds, her rich chocolate waves of hair flying behind her as she wormed her way through the crowd and to the front.
Lance smirked as the Altaria began its little combination dance. He folded his arms appearing as if he won't need to even try in this pokemon match.
"Luxray, strike the ground by sweeping upward at Altaria with your Iron Tail! 'Stay sharp'!"
Luxray's does what he was requested by Lance. Luxray quickly uses iron tail slamming the ground and sweeping upward causing a version of Rock Throw to be tossed at the dancing Altaria. (3 earth rocks are sent towards altaria). Afterwards, Luxray keeps a sharp intense eye on Altaria while Luxray is in an anticipated stance.
What? Heathome? Whoa whoa whoa! How the heck did she end up here? She was frolicking in a forest just a few minutes ago right or was that just a dream? No it couldn't have been becasue Pichu was nomming on her hand. The jolt woke her up and gave her a tingly feeling.
"Pichu? Wait how did I get here? Umm Anthony was it?"
"I should shock him in the..." Pichu growled having sparks come from his cheeks.
My my~ Mesmerize them with your Song and Dance, Altaria.
Altaria begins letting out a beautiful melody that lulls all nearby pokemon to sleep. At the same time It begins an elaborate dance avoiding the rocks with increasing speed.
"Yeah it's Anthony , you seemed to have passed out. I stayed by your side , to help you and wait for you to wake up so you won't be completely confused."
He was somewhat impatient because he heard shouts of a pokemon battle . He looked down at her, and then the pichu . It was a fiesty one , very protective of it's trainer. But , it was something to be expected it was in the nature of people and Pokemon to bond together. His Cyndaquil was that way at least ... Well back in in his ranger days. It seemed to be more rebellious. It was an odd thing , nothing had changed at least he didn't see anything change. I think i should sit down and talk with them. Well talk and they listen to what i say and stuff.
Razor swooped down and turned flying above the battle and out of sight. He made his way with Cyndaquil over to general location of Anthony. His speed was fast , but nothing compared to speed and power of a flying type. He hissed Rebel don't cause trouble for Anthony , at least not right now. He is still representing the Rangers. Do this as a favor not to me , but him.
The Cyndaquil , moved a bit and let out a snot of flame. It was slightly irritated, then again . Razor was right . Okay fine. This once , i shall be have but then i shall SET THIS WORLD ABLAZE IN FLAMES!!!
As Alexis reached the front of the crowd she gasped loudly. Her head turned abruptly, her sweet chocolate curls bounced with the movement and caught sight of a galiant Altaria. With another motion, she sized up a feirce Luxray. In her arms, Scarlet squirmed and lept down, but she stooped to grab her.
"Scarlet! You can't just run into other people's battles!" She chided gently. The Eevee murred at her happily, obviously not minding being scolded much. "Eeeee!" she murred again, looking between the two Pokemon.
Alexis rose, her rich green-aqua eyes scanning the trainers, sizing them up. Both looked feirce and ready to go all-out. She did minute calculations in her head. She had missed some of this battle, and did not know who was winning, but she stayed in her place, her hand on her medicine pouch.
"This is amazing." She murmured.
Luxray catches on Altaria's movements of dodging the rocks as he was 'Staying Sharp' as Lance said and it was even easier for Luxray to catch on to altaria's movement due to it being a bird-like creature. Luxray quickly pounces to attack with Wild Charge slamming onto Altaria's left wing. If hit altaria would crash into the ground on it's right side from the force of the impact.
Good job, Luxray keep it up. Standby.
Draco grimaced slightly as Altaria plummeted, but he quickly composed himself. Altaria whimpered in pain but it didnt want to disappoint its master.
"I apologize Altaria, but use Echo Song."
Altaria changes it whimper into a loud wailing dirge, the sound waves cause many around to cover their ears in pain, at the same time both Altaria and Luxray become covered in painful red electricity.
Anthony was full of excitement he couldn't control it . He looked down at the girl and smiled .
"Well I shall head over to the park , to see what the commotion is all about. Want to come with me ? It might be fun, and that way i can keep an eye on you. "
He stood up , and he held his hand out towards her. No matter how much he wanted to go and see the battle , he had a obligation to this girl now that he offered his service to her . He waited patiently for her to fully become aware of her surroundings he didn't want to startle her anymore than he might be doing at this moment. It was in his ranger duty , and in his own personal ethics that he valued to his core.
Lance smirked with his eyes closed and couldn't help but making a slight chuckle now.
Oh how pathetic, you have to resort to a combination resulting with perish song?? Such is the way of the weak trainers.. I didn't realize it at first but you have a lot of dragon pokemon. Are you trying to become some Dragon Master? You should give it up if so, because right now you're far worse than that Pa-th-e-tic Dragon 'Master' Drake. I wiped the floor with him with a single pokemon. Luckily for you, it wasn't Luxray.
Alright Luxray, we have about 3 minutes before Perish Song takes place.. Let's wrap this thing up. Rush in with Crunch and follow up with Scary Face!
Luxray shakes its head getting the noise from echo voice out of his head and immediately rushes to Altaria upon approaching Luxray uses Scary Face to attempt to slow down Altaria's later movements due to fear. Luxray incomes with Crunch biting down on the left wing of Altaria.
Now, for the K.O. Thunder Fang!
Both Altaria's and Draco's eyes beging to burn with rage at the defamation of Drake's name.
"How dare you insult my grandfather that way! I don't care how good a pokemon trainer you "think" you are. You're smug and self righteous. I can't imagine how your pokemon can even stand to be in your company. No I'm no where near the level I want to be at but I love my pokemon and they love me and for now thats all that matters. Im sorry for your pain Altaria, you can return now...."
Draco returns his Altaria. As he looks back at his pokemon. He frowns seemingly communicating silently with his pokemon. Salamence roars a massive jet of flame as it stops forward. Draco smiles and pets Salamence as his other pokemon cheer them on. Unknowingly Draco's pokemon egg glows softly.
"I wont sit back and let you condescend me anymore. And another thing..."
As he says this, Salamence's eyes begin to glow bright red.
"Don't you ever talk about my grandfather that way again. Fly."
With a great flap of his wings, Salamence takes off high into the air.
Still holding his smrik he raised his right eyebrow upon hearing that this boy was Drake's grandson. Lance stayed humor at this fact not seeming to care too much about having insulted Draco even if it was indirect.
Oh well now isn't that surprising? Well like they say, "like father like son" but I guess that can go for grandfather and grandson as well, hah. Look kid, it's not a matter of thinking that i'm by far the best trainer here and possibly in this entire world. But my Pokemon know it as well as I do. You 'trainers' are falling behind and Pokemon these days are poorly trained. Face the facts. Luxray, we have 2 minutes left before Perish Song's effect activates let's play around some more before your time is up.
Stay Sharp Luxray there's a chance he'll be using a feint somewhere in his attack and not directly strike you. The wise choice of course.
Luxray makes a prideful roar as he watches Salamance up in the sky flying about.
"Salamence Dragon Combo into a Rock Slide."
Salamence begins a complex flight pattern, as it finishes it swoops down low to the ground with immense speed. Its claws glow bright red as it strikes the ground while performing a somersault into medium high altitude. The Dragon Claw launches several large chunks of rocks at Luxray with great velocity.
Luxray listens to Lance as it makes a great leap to the side avoiding the barrage of rocks. It lands and looks towards lance making a slight growl.
Great job pal. Get back. Luxray returns himself inside his pokeball.
Lucario ready for some action?!
As Lance says that a pokeball on his pokebelt opens up on its own as a Lucario comes out. Lucario looks over to Lance. Seemingly have a telepathic conversation Lance makes a guilty face and shrugs.
"Hey, it's not my fault.."
Lucario shakes his head and stands straight and tall as if nothing could make him fall. A sign of how well trained he is.
Ready to take down a dragon? Listen up kid, Lucario here was the one who wiped out your grandfather. If you don't want to suffer the same fate you should call it quits soon.
*As people walk pass chet without giving any attention to his wares he gives up and hopes that someone would buy something from him later.* So many people and none of them want to buy anything...I guess this is how it was for dad when he first started, well we can't stay here for long zippo we should find somewhere to rest.
"A dragon master doesnt back down from a fight. Salamence Serpent's Dance!"
Salamence begins another complex pattern in the air, as it finishes it rockets toward lucario with immense speed greatly dwarfing the speed of its last attack. It nears Lucario however as it gets close its tail begins to glow(Dragon Tail). It somersaults near lucario attempting to uppercut lucario with its tail, as it rights itself it flaps once sending it back into the air.
Without communicating at all Lucario's eyes glow blue as it uses Me First. Lucario much faster than Salamance and with his tail he mimics exactly what salamance would've done but faster slamming Salamance directly on with a dragon tail.
Do you know why your grandfather got defeated so easily? It's because unlike other trainers me and Lucario can speak to each through our minds so our opponent never truly knows what we'll do next. Your setting yourself up for failure but I don't mind tossing you around a bit. This should be a lesson to all 'trainers' out here watching.. To just give it up.
Draco huffed in anger as his Salamence was returned thanks to Lucario copying his Dragon Tail. Dragonair was sent out however instead, of looking angry like the others in Draco's party it calmly looked back at its master and stared him in the eyes. Draco's features softened as he went to hug his Dragonair. It calmly nuzzled him and whimpered as if communicating something to him. Draco sighs.
"Perhaps you're right Dragonair. As happy as this much make you, my dragonair requests for me to forfeit the match. And before you smugly assume its because she thinks we can't win, its not. She doesn't like seeing me get so upset over comments that shouldn't bother me. Besides all my negativity is affecting my egg. I hope I never have the unfortunate pleasure of crossing paths with you again. And the next time I do, I'll make sure I defeat you."
Draco turns petting his Dragonair calmly as he returns to his pokemon, and begins to leave with them.
Lance laughs and crosses his arms. With a strong prideful smile on his face and it then turns into a frown. He looked to the other trainers and faced them notably he was speaking to Palis, Anthony, Chet , and Alexis. He speaks loud and clear for almost anyone near the vicinity in the park to hear.
"Did you all witness what happened here today? If not let me tell you. This was a battle to prove that in this day and age you 'trainers' do nothing more than merely play around with your Pokemon hindering them from ever reaching their full potential! Yep, that's right you are to blame because you yourselves are too weak to notice it yourself! So please, for those who have seen this battle be true to yourselves. If you were to face up against me you'd lose as well. Give up on your road to be a 'Pokemon Master' or whatever your dream is because it's only a dream! But I guess none of you are really going to do that. If you want to prove me wrong here's my contact information though I'm sure none of you will ever be able to match me."
Lance takes out an advanced looking Pokegear something never seen before. He presses a button and instantly all the trainers Pokegear have registered Name:"Lance Star" Title: "Pokemon Virtuoso" Wins: 589 Loses: 0 Lance then turns his body with a hard 180 as his white cape flashes out with the turn before calmly folding down over his back once more.
"Hmph, come on guys we're leaving.. This festival is bore."
All his pokeballs except one activate releasing the pokemon. Alongside him now is a Staraptor, Buizel, Luxray, Infernape, and Lucario. While they accompany Lance, Lucario turns his face to the side eyeing Draco as a sense of sorrow is marked on Lucario's face. He then turns his face away. Lance and his Pokemon leave from the park and the entire festival.
The young girl took his hand and Smile lightly. He was very kind from her point of view. She wanted to do things here, especially battle and do some contests. Aria stood up dusting herself off looking at the young ranger. Yes adventure was what she need right now. "Let's go Pichu! Please lead the way. I'm up for some adventure!"
"Pichu Pi!" The tiny yellow Pokemon jumped on her shoulder grinning , he was a very cocky Pokemon.
Anthony smiled and took her hand as he walked with her . The battle seemed to have been over but people were talking about it about how some one was disgraced and how the arrogant champion let his ego grow to higher heights. But Anthony knew that when a ego grows to such heights it must be backed up with some skill, he saw his pokemon still some distance off. He nodded at them , and he took out his pokeball and threw it up into the air as it spiun around it opened and the light caught Razor as he was transported back to his pokeball. Anthony moved a bit to the right as he caught Cyndaquil out of the air as he smiled a bit. Before letting the surprised cyndaquil on the ground as he shook himself free. The Cyndaquil was full of energy and it showed in it's flame as they went up high for a second. Anthony bent down and slowly gave his pokemon a charcoal to hold .
FFUUUUUU your pokeballs master. That scared the living ember out of me. I am not a flyer. Do you see wings on me ? DO I LOOK LIKE A CHARIZARD HUH!? TELL ME . Because i will use fly all up over that pichu there!He points to the pichu as he continues to rant unknown to him that Anthony can't understand him like he use to.
"Sorry , my pokemon can be weird sometimes. Anyway Where do you want to go . It looks like the day might be coming to a close soon. We can explore more of the festival or do something you want. "
At the heart of the festival suddenly an eruption of gray-ish thick smoke clouds the entire area. Within the smoke many people are heard screaming, some sounds of cutting, and people dropping to the ground can be heard. It would seem that those who are capable should hurry over and clear the scene and help those who are in need.
Trainer: Whoa! What's going on over there?! Let's try to clear the smoke! The trainer runs over tossing out his pokeball as pigeotto is summoned. Use whirlwind pigeotto, we need to clear that smoke!
Anthony saw a smoke cloud in the distance , and heard confusion. He just met up with this girl , and it was rude to run off like this. He turned to her and wanted to stay that's what he came here for , to make friends and enjoy life.... But his ranger sense of duty was calling. He let go of her hand. Drew his poke balls out , and called out his Scyther out once more.
" Sorry , love. I have to go ..... Maybe once we sort out the trouble there i'll come back. " ~ He smiled and took out a card and left it with her. It was his pokeranger card . Had his name and how to contact him. It was a flashy move but in the end , he had to run.
" Razor let's go! , I need you to fly overhead and scout out the area for me. Defend if attacked alright? Use Razor Wind to clear out the smoke around the top. Cyndaquil , you are with me!" - His voice filled wit excitement and coated with some caution. He raced off to the scene , moving away from the park and closer to the center.
Cyndaquil's flame raised up a bit as he ran along his master. "Well this is the fire i wanted to see! Let's do this !" Of course this sounded to everyone around as regular pokemon noises.
Razor soar off into the wind , and nodded his head. He started to whip up the winds necessary to create the attack.

Q: Find a function with right and left limits on $[0,1]$ and discontinuities at $\{ \dfrac{1}{n} : n \in \mathbb{N} \}$. Find a function with right and left limits on $[0,1]$, wherever they are defined, and discontinuities at $\{ \dfrac{1}{n} : n \in \mathbb{N} \}$.
I have
$f: [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, defined by
$$f(x)=\begin{cases}
0 & x = \dfrac{1}{n} \textrm{ for } n \in \mathbb{N} \\
x & \textrm{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
Attempts:

*

*Let $x \in (0,1].$ Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Let $(x_m)$ be a sequence in $[0,1] \setminus \{x\}$ converging to $x$. We can find a neighbourhood $B$ of $x$ containing $x$ but no points of the form $\dfrac{1}{n}$. Then, since $(x_m) \rightarrow x$, there exists $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $n \geq N$, $x_n$ lies in $B$. Thus, for any $n \geq N$, $f(x_n)=x_n$. Thus $\displaystyle \lim_{m \rightarrow \infty}f(x_m)=x.$

*Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Set $c=\dfrac{1}{n}.$ Take $d = \dfrac{1}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}$. Then for $|x-\dfrac{1}{n}|<d$, we have that $x \in \left(\dfrac{1}{n+1},\dfrac{2}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right).$ Note that, for $n>1$, \begin{align*} &\dfrac{2}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}< \dfrac{1}{n-1} \\
&\impliedby \dfrac{n+2}{n(n+1)} < \dfrac{1}{n-1} \\
&\impliedby (n-1)(n+2) < n(n+1) \\
&\impliedby n^2 + n - 2 < n^2 + n \\
&\impliedby -2 < 0.  \end{align*}
So for any $x \in [0,1]$ with $|x-c|<d$, $$|f(x) - \dfrac{1}{n}|<|\dfrac{1}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}| < \max\{1/n,1/(n+1)\} = 1/n.$$ Stuck!

A: You have a fine example here. You just need to clarify the details a little.
The crucial thing is that each $\frac{1}{n}$ is separated from $\frac{1}{n+1}$ and $\frac{1}{n-1}$ by some positive distance. This means for any $x\in (0,1]$, regardless of being some $\frac{1}{n}$ or not, there is a neighbourhood $B$ containing $x$ but containing no other point of the form $\frac{1}{n'}$ for $n'\in \mathbb{N}$. Thus for all points $y\in B$ (except $x$ itself in the case $x=\frac{1}{n}$), we have $f(y)=y$.
Therefore, any sequence $a_k$ that approaches $x$ from below (or above) eventually lies inside $B$. ie. for $k$ large enough we always have $f(a_k)=a_k$ and thus the sequence $f(a_k)$ approaches $x$ as well. This is exactly what it means for $f$ to have left (and right) limits everywhere on $(0,1]$.
The point $x=0$ is trickier, (since any neighbourhood around $0$ contains infinitely many points of the form $\frac{1}{n}$) but you can show that any sequence $a_k$ approaching $x$ from above also has $f(a_k)\rightarrow 0$, since once $a_k$ is within $\epsilon$ of $0$ we have $f(a_k)\leq \epsilon$.
And it is clear from all this that we have discontinuities at each $\frac{1}{n}$, since if $a_k\rightarrow\frac{1}{n}$ then $f(a_k)\rightarrow\frac{1}{n}$ yet $f(\frac{1}{n})=0\not=\frac{1}{n}$.

A: The function you defined works. In order to prove discontinuity, you have to think about the definition of discontinuity: We say a function $f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous if $\lim_{x \rightarrow c} f(x) = f(c)$.
Now take $c=\frac{1}{n}$ for any $n \in \mathbb{N}$. From the function you defined, $\lim_{x \rightarrow c} f(x) = c \neq 0 = f(c)$. In conclusion, the limit exists, but the function is discontinuous in those points.

Q: Pink Manipulates in stand-alone cdfs Here is a simple example:
Manipulate[Plot[Sin[2 Pi f t], {t, 0, 10}], {f, 0, 5}]

This makes a plot with a sine wave of varying frequency determined by f. Go to the File->CDF Export->Standalone menu item and save as a .cdf file (I called mine test.cdf). Now open test.cdf in the Wolfram reader and the Manipulate is colored pink and presents an error message "An unrecognized option name UndoTrackedVariables was encountered". The Manipulate appears to function, but it is quite disconcerting to see the pink error-color on the Manipulate.
My questions are: can anyone reproduce this (I'm using version 10.0.1 on Mac OS 10.9.5)? Second, can anyone think of a way to remove the error message and get the cdf's back to normal? Thanks!

A: This issue is due to the fact, that the stand alone CDF Player is still in version 9.
Opening the cdf file in a browser with a Mathematica 10 plugin installed works without any problem. Also creating the cdf file with version 9 works properly.
If you need to make this cdf work in the version 9 player and want to use Mathematica version 10 to create it, you can do the following:
cdf = Import["D:\\test.cdf"];
Delete[cdf, Most@Flatten@Position[cdf, UndoTrackedVariables]];
Export["D:\\test_v9.cdf", %]

This will just delete the UndoTrackedVariables entry that is causing the incompatibility.


The promise of eternal life is not something we have to wait for. At the moment that we put our trust in Jesus, He promises that we have entered into the family of God. Too often we make the terrible mistake of thinking that it is our knowledge of Jesus that will matter. No, dear friends. It is not whether you remember Jesus in those moments of fear, confusion or despair. What will matter when we are confronted with our own mortality will be if He remembers you. The only thing that causes Jesus to remember us is faith, for "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6) and when Jesus returns Luke tells us that there will be a question asked. It is this, "…When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?" (Luke 18:8). Do you want to be remembered? Than place your faith in Jesus.


One of the chief beneficiaries of the Arab Spring thus far has been the Muslim Brotherhood, which has gained power in Egypt and elsewhere. This did not escape Osama bin Laden's attention prior to his demise. In one of the few documents released by the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) at West Point last week, bin Laden comments on the Brotherhood and urges al Qaeda members to avoid confrontations with the group for the time being. Bin Laden sees the Brotherhood as a "half solution" that is migrating to the "true Islam," as defined by al Qaeda.
Knowing that the movements calling for half solutions like the Brotherhood have witnessed a spread of the proper ideology among their membership in recent years, especially in the growing generations, and one of the Brotherhood members discussed that phenomenon in a lengthy question among the questions addressed to Sheikh Abu Muhammad; also it was mentioned in many of the media vehicles that there is a sizable direction within the Brotherhood that holds the Salafi doctrine, so the return of the Brotherhood and those like them to the true Islam is a matter of time, with the will of Allah. The more attention paid to explaining Islamic understanding, the sooner their return is, so preserving the Muslim movements today and adjusting their direction requires effort and attention, keeping in mind the necessity of being kindly to the sons of the nation who fell under misguidance for long decades.
"Sheikh Abu Muhammad" in the paragraph above is likely Ayman al Zawahiri, who answered a "lengthy question" about the Brotherhood in one of his online interviews. It is interesting to note bin Laden's comment about a "sizable direction within the Brotherhood that holds the Salafi doctrine" in light of how things have played out in Egypt. The Salafists there surprised many with the level of support they received from the populace.
It would be nice to remind our brothers in the regions to be patient and deliberate, and warn them of entering into confrontations with the parties belonging to Islam, and it is probable that most of the areas will have governments established on the remnants of the previous governments, and most probable these governments will belong to the Islamic parties and groups, like the Brotherhood and the like, and our duty at this stage is to pay attention to the call among Muslims and win over supporters and spread the correct understanding, as the current conditions have brought on unprecedented opportunities and the coming of Islamic governments that follow the Salafi doctrine is a benefit to Islam. The more time that passes and the call increases, the more the supporters will be of the people, and the more widespread will be the correct understanding among the coming generations of Islamic groups.
Now, this is just one document. Unlike the analysts at the CTC, I won't jump to any conclusions based on this incredibly small sample. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there are other documents in bin Laden's cache in which he stridently criticizes the Brotherhood.
While it wouldn't be accurate to conflate al Qaeda and the Brotherhood, we should also not pretend that the two are entirely devoid of any common interests. Al Qaeda's intellectual roots are found in the Brotherhood, and many al Qaeda leaders were once members of the organization.
Osama bin Laden was reportedly instructed by Brothers at a young age and may have entered the global jihad through the Brotherhood's Syrian chapter. Ayman al Zawahiri was once a Brother, too, but decided that Hassan al Banna's organization was not violent enough for him. And here is just one more example, chosen from many: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was a member of the Brotherhood before graduating to al Qaeda. KSM's brothers were also in the Brotherhood; one of KSM's brothers was even a leader in the Kuwaiti chapter and financed KSM for years.
The disagreements between the Brotherhood and al Qaeda are largely tactical, not ideological or strategic. While the Egyptian Brotherhood decided that violence was a loser after being routinely quashed by Hosni Mubarak's regime, al Qaeda honchos like Ayman al Zawahiri decided to fight on.
Without delving too far into this complex matter, I'll leave this post with one simple observation. Shortly after Osama bin Laden was killed (just one week after penning the aforementioned letter), the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement referring to bin Laden as a "sheikh" and praising the "resistance" in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Sheikh" is, of course, an honorific title.
Do the Saudis Support the Muslim Brotherhood,The Salifis or both?
This also reads like a veiled threat. If I was a member or in any way affiliated or associated with the Muslim Brotherhood I would be paying very, very close attention to anything Zawahiri says or does and also al Qaeda. This sounds so ominous. It gives me the chills.

Мадже́нта — цветовой термин, означающий ряд пурпурных цветов. В XXI веке наиболее известно два стандартизованных варианта мадженты. В модели RGB маджента является вторичным цветом, получаемым при аддитивном смешении основных красного и синего цветов в равных пропорциях. В системе CMYK маджента является основным цветом (наряду с циановым и жёлтым).

Маджента — дополнительный цвет по отношению к зелёному: тело цвета мадженты поглощает зелёную часть спектра видимого диапазона. Как и все пурпурные цвета, маджента не является спектральным цветом, так как образуется аддитивным сложением как минимум двух волн из разных мест спектра.

История и терминология

Варианты цвета, дополнительного зелёному, были известны давно и использовались живописцами. В зависимости от тона они либо считались «красным» (см. RYB), либо не имели широкого распространения так как более светлые в синем диапазоне красители были или дороги, или блёклы, или нестабильны. Нередко в качестве эталона мадженты рассматривают краситель фуксин. «Маджента» (фуксин) — один из первых анилиновых красителей, создан в 1856 году и впервые широко использовался как антисептик в битве при Мадженте (1859 год) в северной Италии, откуда его название. Близкий цвет сольферино получил своё имя в то же время в сходных обстоятельствах после битвы при Сольферино.

В английском языке слово «magenta» является общепринятым наименованием вариантов пурпурного цвета с видимым преобладанием красного, в отличие от близкого к фиолетовому «purple». Во французском и немецком языках под «пурпуром» («pourpre» и «purpur» соответственно) обычно понимается именно маджента, так что в этих двух языках отдельный цветовой термин не распространён. Примером такого употребления является «Теория цвета» Гёте, написанная в начале XIX века. Некоторые современные комментаторы указывают, что Гёте впервые указал на важность этой части цветового круга для понимания цветовосприятия.

Три основные исторические вариации цвета маджента

Первоначальный цвет (1860)

Первоначально название «маджента» получил пигмент фуксин, изготовлявшийся из каменноугольной смолы. В дальнейшем словом стали называть цвет пигмента. Цвет также называется «насыщенной маджентой» (). Ранее цвет пигмента назывался словом «фуксин» или словом «розеин», но в 1860 году был переименован в честь битвы при Мадженте в рекламных целях.

Типографская маджента

В цветной печати «типографская маджента» — один из трёх основных цветов, участвующих в субтрактивном синтезе; этот цвет ближе к малиновому. Получил распространение в 1890-х годах вместе с моделью CMYK, когда газеты начали публиковать цветные комиксы. В английском языке носит несколько названий: «process magenta», «pigment magenta», «printer's magenta». Как следует из названия, цвет применяется в основном для цветной печати.

Типографская маджента отсутствует в модели RGB, а чёткого соответствия между основными цветами CMYK и RGB не существует. Поэтому есть несколько вариантов того, как должна выглядеть на печати типографская маджента. Справа приведён наиболее распространённый вариант.

Цветные карандаши и мелки, помеченные как «маджента», также окрашены в этот цвет.

Электронная маджента (веб-цвет фуксия)

«Электронная маджента» () — один из трёх дополнительных цветов в модели RGB, создан для компьютерной цветопередачи и образуется при смешении красного и синего цветов в равных долях. На колесе цветов RGB маджента располагается между розовым и фиолетовым. В цветовой модели HSV ему соответствует тон (hue) 300°. Электронная маджента и фуксия — один и тот же цвет. В списке цветов HTML маджента выступает как псевдоним фуксии.

Будучи распечатанным на бумаге, этот цвет называется «фуксией» и имеет менее яркий оттенок, чем на экране.

Дополнительные вариации цвета маджента

Бледная маджента

Изображённый справа цвет называется «бледной маджентой» () или «светло-розовой фуксией» ().

Светлая маджента

Изображённый справа цвет называется «светлой маджентой» () или «розовой фуксией» ().

Ультра-розовый

Изображённый справа цвет называется «ультра-розовым» (). В 1972 году фирма Crayola использовала его под таким названием в цветовой гамме своих карандашей, в 1990 году переименовала его в «шокирующий розовый», хотя обычно так называют более яркий оттенок розового цвета.

Ярко-розовый цвет

Насыщенный розовый цвет цветов фуксии известен в мире моды под названием «шоки́рующий ро́зовый» (). Название появилось благодаря цвету упаковки для флакона духов «Schoking» (1937 год) модельера Эльзы Скиапарелли: Надо, чтобы название начиналось на букву «S» — из-за моего суеверия… А цвет сам попался мне на глаза — блестящий, невероятный, нескромный, пленительный, полный жизни, подобный свету, объединённый цвет цвет всех птиц и рыб в мире, цвет Китая и Перу, совсем не западный, шокирующий, чистый, интенсивный… И я назвала свои духи «Schocking», то есть «Шокирующие». Впоследствии этот оттенок розового стал своего рода фирменной маркой модельера, которая использовала его не только для нарядов, шляпок, упаковки и косметики, но и на ярлыках изделий и в оформлении своего магазина (Париж, Вандомская площадь, 21).
Иногда этот цвет называют «неоново-розовым» ().

Небесная маджента

Изображённый справа цвет называется «небесной маджентой» () или «средним лавандово-розовым» (). Этот цвет перекликается с цветом неба рядом с солнцем в тот короткий период, когда розовый цвет заката переходит в синий цвет сумерек. Небесная маджента входила в набор карандашей «venus paradise», популярный в 1950-е годы. Образец цвета справа был взят с фотографии такого карандаша на распродаже на eBay.

По ссылке можно увидеть снимок неба цвета «небесной мадженты», сделанный фотографом Дэвом Хорном.

Яркая маджента

Изображённый справа цвет называется «яркой маджентой» (), был создан фирмой Crayola в 1972 году.

В 1990 году фирма Crayola выпустила карандаш такого цвета, назвав его «purple pizzaz». В 2008 году появился третий карандаш такого же цвета, получивший название «famous». Причины, по которым в одной упаковке потребовалось несколько карандашей одного цвета, неизвестны.

This Week in Michigan Politics, Jack Lessenberry and Christina Shockley discuss how lawmakers approved giving $195 million to Detroit, the state of the United Auto Workers after members agreed to raise fees for the first time in nearly 50 years, and why lawmakers can't agree on road funding.
Legislation to give almost $200 million to Detroit is now headed to Gov. Rick Snyder's desk. The money is to prevent deep cuts to retiree pensions and the sale of art from the Detroit Institute of Arts.
But Lessenberry says this is not a done deal. While Gov. Snyder will sign the bill, active city workers and retirees have to vote to approve small but significant cuts to their pensions by July 11. Finally, U.S. bankruptcy judge Steven Rhodes has to approve the deal.
The United Auto Workers voted yesterday to raise dues for the first time in nearly 50 years.
Lessenberry says the union is in crisis. He says membership was nearly four times higher in the 1970s. The majority of the members that remain do not work in the auto industry.
"Unless things change by maybe the end of next year, there will be more auto workers in this country who are not members of the UAW than ones who are," Lessenberry says.
Why can't we agree on roads?
Legislators still cannot agree on road funding. There was even a special Senate meeting Monday to discuss road funding and nothing seemed to move forward. Lawmakers acted fast last week when it came to minimum wage legislation, yet road funding has been in the news for months now and no real action has been taken. What's the holdup?
Lessenberry says the House and Senate have two different ideas on how roads should be funded.
The Senate wants to raise gas taxes to eventually produce around $1.5 billion a year.
The question now is if lawmakers can come up with a compromise.
State lawmakers have committed to contributing $195 million to Detroit's bankruptcy settlement.
The state Senate gave final legislative approval to the bills to help protect retiree pensions and prevent the sale of city-owned artwork at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
"Today we are all Detroiters and we are all Michiganians," said U.S District Court Judge Gerald Rosen following the vote. Rosen has been overseeing talks between Detroit and its creditors, and is considered the architect of the "grand bargain."


Bob Dollar of R&W Rope came to our shop to introduce us to the Liverpool Wire Splice. Books are helpful in the learning process, but something as complex as a Liverpool splice really needs a personal session to show the "art" in the task. Bob told "Bosun" Herb that he'll need to practice, so as you can see him practicing this new craft below.
Meanwhile, Bill has been working on our very complex spreader assembly. The inboard half of the Douglas Fir spreader is actually an I-beam and Bill is shown routing out the center section. He's using our first non-laminated spreader as a router guide.

Never turn your back on our "morale officer", Keith. He always has something up his sleeve; he probably lies awake at night thinking about puns, tricks, and displays. Last week, he took one of our GI Joes on liberty to Cape Cod, only to return with it donned in Santa garments. We'd like to thank Keith's wife Mary Jo for making the Santa outfit.
Speaking of dressing: would anyone be willing to make an outfit for Mrs. Iselin? We have a description of her sailor's dress.
Meanwhile, we've reach another major milestone on the project. On Tuesday, we fitted the last of our deck fittings in place; our deck is essentially complete, we just some touch-up to go, which we'll do as part of the final wrap-up. These topmast running backstay staples were some of the several items plated by R. E. Sturdy and Co. They've been glued, riveted, and bolted into place to ensure they can carry the load.
Now we're working at fittings for the boom and mast, the first of which has been fitted to the boom and temporarily to our stump mast. We still have some work to do on the goose neck assembly.
As many of you know, RELIANCE was launched 177 days from receipt of order and delivered to the Iselin syndicate 194 days after masting, rigging, and sail testing. So, we're about 150 scale man-days complete!

After a much needed Thanksgiving break to regain energy, we've returned to the RELIANCE Project with some lively holiday spirit. We decked out the RELIANCE model by putting a pole star on the unfinished mast. It lights up the shop pretty nicely!

It's so refreshing to see clients taking the theme of their events beyond the typical and ordinary. We had the pleasure of having a beautifully thought out baby shower hosted at Pure where there was not a single sighting of the typical baby shower colors. The theme of this party was LEMONS!!! The lightness and airiness of our venue went beautifully with the mellowness of the yellow tones. Every detail was ornately displayed for the guests to enjoy and observe. Besides enjoying the delicious food served, the guests were welcomed by what else but lemonades on their tables. The mommy to be did not disappoint her guests, she looked radiant and she herself went for the new trend of green palm tree leaf print dress. It was a chic, tasteful, elegant, exquisite, stylish, and we can go on and on but will let the pictures speak for themselves.
At Pure, we are able to accommodate and perfect any event. No idea is too simple or complicated for us to bring to light. Give us a call to book a tour for your next event and we promise you will see the canvas that you want to paint your next event on.


The Gold Coast stake choir has been a central part of ANZAC day services in Mudgeeraba with this year being their sixth year singing at the service.
It began when a member of the stake attending the ANZAC ceremony noticed that people seemed reluctant to sing out during the national anthems and hymns, and thought the Church could contribute to the service by furnishing a choir to lead in the singing.
The offer was enthusiastically accepted when the Mudgeeraba RSL Patron, Mr. George O'Brien, attended a stake choir practice and was suitably impressed. After rehearsing with the Gold Coast Hinterland Band, the choir joined with them to lead the music at the ANZAC ceremony. The Mudgeeraba RSL has since requested the choir sing each year at each Sunset Service.
Choir director Sister Gayle Hampson, who has played an important role in getting the choir involved, stated "The Choir is introduced with the full title of the Church which helps make the community aware of who we are as Christians, and we have received positive feedback from all involved".
Gold Coast City Councillor Ted Shepherd particularly complimented the Choir's rendition of 'Jerusalem' after this year's ceremony, and has also extended an invitation for the choir to sing at the forthcoming Mudgeeraba annual show. The show grounds are in close proximity to where the new Gold Coast Stake centre is currently under construction, and Councillor Shepherd spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Church site last year.

Q: Example of Tor-Rigid Module Let $R$ be a commutative ring (with 1) and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We say that $M$ is rigid if for every finitely generated $R$-module $N$ whenever Tor$_i^R(M,N)=0$ then Tor$_j^R(M,N)=0$ for all $j\geq i$.
Could someone provide me with an example of a rigid $R$-module that is not a flat module or any other "nice" examples to keep in mind?
Thanks in advance.

A: Any finitely generated module over a regular local ring satisfies the Tor-rigid property, a result due to Lichtenbaum ("On the vanishing of Tor in regular local rings"). The proof occurs within the first five pages in the paper.
For a slightly less obvious but still perhaps too simple example, you could take the ring of power series $k[[x]]$ over a regular local ring $k$ and the module is $k$ where $x$ acts as zero; i.e. $k$ becomes a $k[[x]]$-module through the augmentation homomorphism $k[[x]]\to k$ given by $x\mapsto 0$.
For higher dimensional examples you could take similar examples over a power series ring in $n$ variables. If you want to come up with more examples yourself maybe you could try $k[[x,y]]$ and $k^n$ where $x$ and $y$ act as commuting nilpotent matrices, though I haven't verified that. I suggest playing with various regular local rings to learn more about this.
