Third-cycle subject: Chemistry
Over 2 billion lightning events occur in Earth's atmosphere every year, which might even increase in the future with global warming. In spite of this, the effects of lightning on the chemistry of the atmosphere are not taken into account today and has been studied to a limited extent.
This PhD work is taking place within a new research project, in collaboration between the Department of Chemistry of KTH and the Lightning Research group of Uppsala University, to investigate the effects of different types of lightning discharges on the chemistry of the atmosphere, in particular on the transformations of organic compounds.
The PhD work will consist in performing experiments, both at the Lightning Research facility at Uppsala University and in the laboratory at KTH, to characterize the reactions resulting from different types of lightning discharges (products, mechanisms, etc…). The results will allow to identify and quantify the contributions of lightning to atmospheric chemistry and potentially, over long term, on climate.

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Peace and Security is one of five thematic areas of UN Women's strategic plan, and an area in which UN Women coordinates and leads the UN system.
In Jordan, UN Women is coordinating a multi-country programme that seeks to leverage theglobal normative framework on women, peace and security to address the women's rights and gender equality challenges faced in the Arab region by countries both affected by crisis and transition, and those supporting communities displaced by crisis. To this end it targets Iraq and Tunisia as countries in crisis and transition, and Jordan — in its role responding to the Syria crisis. This multi-country programme aims to create the space, opportunities and support to amplify women's leadership in the areas of conflict prevention, humanitarian engagement, conflict resolution and long-term peacebuilding in the region. It supports national bodies, governments and civil society to call for and ensure the implementation of the global commitments on women, peace and security. In addition to its coordination role, UN Women Jordan is also responsible for the direct implementation of the Jordanian component of the programme, which mainly aims to support the development and the implementation of a National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 (JONAP).
and the Management Entity for civil society organizations beneficiaries of the fund.
Furthermore, Jordan is one the five "pathfinding countries" of UN Women's new global Flagship Programme on Women's Engagement in omen, Peace, Security and Recovery (WPSR), and whose objective is to bring transformative change through convening partners around an overarching theory of Change based on the five pillars of the women, peace and security agenda: National Action Plans, conflict prevention, women's participation in peace processes, protection against human rights violations and sexual and gender based violence and women's contribution to peacebuilding and recovery.
Reporting to the Programme Specialist, Women, peace and security, the Programme Analyst contributes to the effective management of UN Women interventions under the women, peace and security area of work by providing substantive inputs to programme design, formulation, implementation and evaluation.

Gay groups pull support for anti-discrimination bill over religious exemption
by Heather Morrison by Religion News Service
Washington — A 20-year effort to protect gays and lesbians from workplace discrimination is facing a major setback after a coalition of gay rights groups and civil liberties groups pulled their support because of an exemption for religious groups.
The American Civil Liberties Union and four gay rights groups said they can no longer support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case over contraception coverage, which allowed some businesses to claim a religious exemption in following federal law.
ENDA, first introduced in 1994, would make it illegal to fire someone solely on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Currently, 20 states and the District of Columbia have some protections for employees based on sexual orientation or gender identity, but there is no federal protection for LGBT employees.
The bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support for the first time last November but faces an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled House. On Tuesday, the ACLU issued a statement pulling its support, also signed by Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, Lambda Legal, the National Center for Lesbian Rights and the Transgender Law Center.
"Federal legislation to protect LGBT people from workplace discrimination is way beyond overdue, but Congress has no place giving religiously affiliated employers a license to discriminate against LGBT workers," said Laura W. Murphy, director of the ACLU's Washington legislative office. "We can no longer support a bill that treats LGBT discrimination as different and somehow more legitimate than other forms of discrimination."
The statement cited the Hobby Lobby decision and its "greater permission to discriminate on religious grounds" as the chief reason to withdraw support.
The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights group, has made ENDA a top priority and continues to support the effort even with the religious exemption.
HRC spokesman Fred Sainz said his organization's support for ENDA would continue, despite what other groups are doing. "HRC supports ENDA because it will provide essential workplace protections to millions of LBGT people," Sainz told The Advocate.
The fight over a religious exemption in ENDA comes as President Barack Obama is preparing to issue an executive order banning discrimination against gays and lesbians for groups that accept federal contracts. In the wake of the Hobby Lobby decision, religious groups are pressing the White House to include a religious exemption, while others say an exemption would allow taxpayer-funded discrimination.
Ian Thompson, ACLU's legislative representative, said the ACLU had voiced serious concerns about the ENDA exemption in the past, but after the Hobby Lobby decision the ACLU has seen a "misreading" of the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision aimed at the LGBT community and "it's clear that they will keep pushing on that front."
Thompson added that allowing religious exemptions in ENDA would be confusing and contradict other laws, especially for members of the transgender community.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says that employers cannot discriminate based on sex but the religious exemptions in ENDA might make this more complicated for transgender employees, Thompson said.

From large outdoor concerts to multi day festivals or trade shows to local fairs, InterTicket can handle it.
Barcoded tickets provide secure access control.
Online print-at home PDF tickets make ticket issue a cinch.
Here's just a few reasons why you should consider using InterTicket for your next festival, show or fair.


What can you say about a tube? It's a nice quality Dunlop tube that matches up with my Dunlop D404 tire on the front end. It appears to be the exact same tube as the factory used on the bike.
I ride a Kawasaki VN900 Classic LT and the Dunlop tube is original equipment on my bike. Just put on new tire's so went with new tubes as well. Had no trouble with the original factory tube so hope this one works as good. Same tube from Kawasaki was $11 more so opted to buy from DK. Only took a few days to arrive.
Very well made and fits perfect in the Dunlop tire.
This is a high quality tube. Holds air very well. I will buy this tube again in the future.
The stem was not in the center it was about 1/2 inch off center,, the rim is center. So the tube has to be slightly twisted to fit to the rim hole.
Great price good tube! What more can I say. Ho!!
Fit great. Can't beat the price.
Sent the wrong tube, needed a side Steem got a center Steem. Cost me $17 for a tube I couldn't use and had to purchase another tube somewhere else, thanks for nothing.
will this fit a MU85B16 D402?
BEST ANSWER: It fits perfect on my new Dunlop 130/90HB-16. Per the manufacture specs, it fits tire size MU90 (should be 16 in Rim). To what i understand, MU85 is about very close as MU90 such that should fit.
Yes. That's what I put it in. Worked great.
Yes this will fit your tire TJ H.
TJ, yes this will fit no issue.
Do I need a wheel liner with a tube?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, always have a good liner, this prevents your spokes damaging your new tube. The extra expense is well worth the initial cost. You don't want to break the assembly down after a few miles on the road!
Yes, you should always install a new rim strip when installing a new tube.
If it's a spoked wheel yes.
i have a 1984 XL80s the front tire size is 2.5-16 and the rear tire is 3.-14 i found inner tubes from china and there crap trying to find good quality for replacements can anyone help?

Based on characters created by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd.
I've got nobody to blame but myself. After the dismal "Terminal Salvation" and the utterly boring television series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" I swore off any and all "Terminator" movies. After the extraordinarily disappointing "A Good Day To Die Hard" I resolved to never again pay money to see Jai Courtney in another movie. I'm sure he's a fine gentleman and we'd probably have a great conversation over beers. But to date I've never seen the man give a performance I've liked. He's got zero chemistry on screen with everybody I've seen him act with.
But the lure of Arnold Schwarzenegger proved to be too strong. And to give him his credit, Arnold is a lot of fun to watch in TERMINATOR GENISYS. I think it's a testament to his growth as an actor that he makes a robot the most human character in the movie. Arnold's been doing this for so long that he knows how to make us root for The Terminator and how to use the character to get all the laughs in the movie without turning The Terminator into a buffoon or an object of ridicule. I just wish he'd been able to impart some of his acting experience to his co-stars.
Director Alan Taylor and his writers Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier appear to have drunk 40 ounce sized bottles of J.J. Abrams brand Kool-Aid since the whole premise of TERMINATOR GENISYS is that an entirely new timeline has been created due to a Terminator having been sent back in time to 1973 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from a T-1000. When Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) arrives in 1984 via time machine he expects to find a Sarah Connor who's unaware of Terminators or that she's the mother of mankind's savior.
Pops has built a time machine himself and Sarah intends to use it to go to 1997 and prevent Judgment Day, the day when Skynet attacked humanity. Due to him remembering the timeline that no longer exists, Kyle insists that they have to go to the year 2017 instead. But when they get there they find a new Terminator. The most advanced Terminator yet since this one is based on nanotechnology. But that isn't even the worst because this Terminator has a very personal tie to both Sarah and Kyle as it's their son, John Connor. And before you start foaming at the mouth and screaming; "Spoilers!" let me point out that this very important plot twist is spoiled in the trailers for the movie. It's a plot twist that definitely should have been kept as the biggest secret in the movie. Just like Schwarzenegger's iconic "I'll be back" should have been kept out of the trailers. When we hear him say it in the movie, it should have been a stand-up and cheer moment. But since we've seen that scene umpteen times in the trailer we've been watching since last year, it's as dead as yesterday's fried chicken. There's no heat behind it. No emotion. And movies run on emotion.
I broke down the plot to its simplest elements because if I took time to adequately explain it in detail, this review could easily run somewhere between three and five thousand words. But if you decide to see this movie the characters will explain it to you over and over and over again. It is amusing to see scenes from the first "Terminator" movie replayed in TERMINATOR GENISYS and there's some laughs to be had when Kyle meets up with a Sarah Connor who knows more than he does but it quickly goes flat as Jai Courtney and Emilia Clarke have no chemistry at all. But as I said earlier, he doesn't have it with anybody. And it really suffers that the actor playing John Connor (Jason Clarke) also has zero chemistry as well. Given what we know about the relationship between Kyle Reese and John Connor you think that the casting director would have picked a couple of actors who can convince us that they like each other.
Emilia Clarke is no Linda Hamilton, plain and simple. She goes through the movie looking like a little girl playing grown-up and she's got none of the inner toughness that Linda Hamilton had and was able to project so well. J.K. Simmons shows up late in the movie to provide some much needed humor and it's too bad that there wasn't a way his character could have been introduced into the story earlier.
As usual, it's up to Arnold Schwarzenegger to save the day. He's become a master at the art of deadpan humor and as such, he supplies most of the funny in the movie. The running gag here is that even after all the time he's spent taking care of Sarah, he's still learning how to fit in with humanity. And while he's been presented as a killing machine in past movies, this Terminator has an IQ that would put Reed Richards to shame. He builds time machines. He formulates elaborate plans in 1984 that won't come to fruition until 2017. He rattles off quantum mechanics and the theory of mutable timelines as if he invented them. Quite a change from the original "Terminator" where Schwarzenegger only has 100 words. In TERMINATOR GENISYS he talks so much that at one point Kyle asks Sarah if he has an off switch.
And by the time I got to the after credits scene it occurred to me that by now, Skynet is the technological equivalent of Michael Myers and Jason Voohees. No matter how many times it seems like its beaten or defeated, it always manages to find a way to come back in the next movie.

If you've purchased a new sound system for your car, then you're probably wondering how to hook up a car stereo. While the process certainly takes some time, it is definitely possible to accomplish this task even if you have no technical training with car electronics.
Head unit - This is the main component of the stereo, which usually has the radio, CD player, and other controls.
Main speakers - There are usually two speakers in the front of the car and two in the back. If you use "component speakers," each speaker may be split into two smaller units to play the bass and the treble. This only means there will be more wires coming back to the head unit.
Amp and Subwoofers - An amplifier provides additional channels and extra power for a pair of subwoofers, which enhance the bass of the music you play.
Speakers - If your new stereo didn't come with speakers, make sure to buy the best set that you can afford.
Wiring harness - Before you can replace your car stereo, you need to visit the manufacturer website of the car stereo brand you intend to buy and purchase the correct wiring harness required for your specific vehicle. You could also possibly purchase it from your local car electronics dealer.
Learn how to remove the dash, door panels and floor molding for the make and model of your car. You may be able to find this information in the owner's manual for your car. If not, visit your car manufacturer website and search for instructions.
Once you have everything you need, you're ready to get started. If you work through the following steps carefully, you'll end up with a fully functioning, brand new car stereo. If you are very scared about causing damage, visit your local car stereo retailer and ask about the price of installation.When you have the guide for removing interior panels and the dashboard, make sure to read through it carefully before you start so that you know if there are any special tools you're going to need.
IMPORTANT - Disconnect your battery (the negative cable) so that your car's electrical system is not live.
Remove the paneling according to the instructions in the guide that you purchased, and unscrew and disconnect the old speakers. This may mean either sliding the existing electrical connections off a connector, or cutting the wires completely.
Reconnect the old wires to the new speaker, connecting the same colored wires together - negative to negative and positive to positive. If you had to clip the old wires, strip about a half inch of insulation back for both wires, twist them together and wrap tightly in electrical tape. Then screw the new speaker back in place.
Remove the section of the dash that covers your old car stereo, and take off the existing head unit by removing the screws that hold it in place. Unplug the old head unit from the existing connectors.
Attach your new wiring harness to your car's connector, and then attach the other end of the wiring harness to your new stereo. All connections should be clear and easy to connect because the harness is manufactured specifically for your car and for the brand of the new stereo.
Connect the other wires that aren't part of the connector, such as the antenna and the speaker wires. Each channel is a speaker with two wires. Not sure which wire is positive or negative? Touch the wires to the 9 volt battery terminals. If the speaker moves outward, then the wire on the positive terminal of the battery is positive. If it moves inward, then it's negative.
If you have an amplifier as part of your sound system, use the o-ring that came with it to clamp the red power cable to the part of the connector that supplies power. Don't forget to insert the fuse into the fuse holder for this power connection.
You will have to run the amplifier power cable and the thin "remote on" wire along the plastic molding along the floor of your car to the back of the car (usually the trunk area behind the back seats). Also run the signal cable (which came with the amp) along the other side of the car under the molding.
Attach the black ground cable from your amplifier to any bolt on the inside of the frame of your vehicle. Then, attach the power, remote on, and signal cables as described by the amplifier manual.
Finally, double check all connections on the back of your head unit (also make sure the ground cable is connected), and then mount it back onto the dash.
Turn the stereo on, and make sure every speaker works correctly. If anything isn't operating, double-check the wiring on the back of the head unit and on each speaker or amp.
Re-attach the dash and you're finished!
Learning how to hook up a car stereo doesn't have to turn into a nightmare. By working slowly and methodically and making sure that you understand every step along the way, you'll have that perfect car audio system that you've always wanted.

Jenner's mood is calm, his language precise, his research cautious. He is intent on '[bringing] the Leaves to the attention of the reader who has no background in Classics or Ancient Greek' but who 'shares an interest in pre-Christian ideas about the soul, the Underworld, and the afterlife'. He promises to 'attempt a coherent and consistent interpretation of their meaning and purpose'. He acknowledges that only a few leaves have been uncovered, and that the variety of theories about them rivals the diversity and versions of Greek myths themselves. A lamella would have been laid flat upon the lips of the defunct or upon his or her right hand or chest; it was sometimes folded or rolled up and, when rolled (if Margherita Guarducci is correct) it may have been placed inside the mouth of the dead person. An example of a lamella, faithful in dimensions, is reproduced on the cover in stunning gold against a shiny black cover. The book is well-executed, hand-bound and machine printed on quality paper.
Jenner asserts early that the dead (carriers of the gold leaves) had undergone initiation rituals during their lives, which would furnish them with the knowledge necessary to pass tests after death, guaranteeing them a 'blissful existence if not deification'; the lamellae acted as passwords, passports or memory cards connected to initiation. Since the purported cult they shared had no name, his method is to identify 'salient features of an eschatology' inferred from the texts of the leaves, and to identify mystery cults of the time to which these features might relate. At times he notifies us of staging posts or points of bifurcation we have reached in the inquiry, so that he is himself something of a psychopomp guiding us along, and after many elucidating turns left and right the essay concludes with a fascinating reconstruction of a Bacchic-Orphic initiation such as the deceased may have undergone in life.
Translations of the 125 lines of surviving lamellae follow. Publisher endorsements cite two Auckland academics: Murray Edmond, 'a book about poetry, about its potential and its limits, about its "charm"'; and Wystan Curnow, 'these scraps … humble if they don't humiliate, poetry as we know it'. More recently (June 2015), Hellenist Miguel Herrero de Jauregui has noted in the Bryn Maur Classical Review that the 'tone of the translations is purposefully neutral and avoids grand effects', and that Jenner accurately approximates the 'aesthetic effects that these poetic lines might have generated in an ancient audience'. Jenner himself reminds us that the texts are not literature so much as liturgical fragments, inseparable from the eschatology he has outlined. So, from both literary and research points of view, all the original Greek texts would have been useful. This edition offers us only two of the 16 texts in Greek. One of these faces its translation, while the other appears unexpectedly on a right-hand facing page, with the translation overleaf. Given the lack of complete Greek texts, a note here and there about Jenner's reasons for his word-choices might have been helpful. For example, in a future edition he might explain in simple terms why he preferred the destination-active '[I am the kid that] rushed to milk' over the more commonly-found (and perchance culinary) 'fallen to milk' for the 'Orphic' symbolon 'Εριphοσεσγαλ'επετον' [add smooth breathing diacritical marks over the epsilons of Eriphos, es and epeton, and pitch-raising acute accents over the epsilons of Eriphos and epeton, and over the alpha of gal' if they do not appear in this online format). The original Greek of the Pelinna (A) text would have been interesting, since Jenner's translation contains both 'leapt into milk' and 'rushed to milk' in consecutive lines; we'd have been able to see the difference, and understand less partially Jenner's choices. Finally, the translations might have been presented according to the three categories mentioned in the essay, or signposted with page numbers in the main text. Their presentation here, coming in a single block at the end of the long essay, does not make it easy to go directly to pertinent texts. Inconsistently, Jenner's essay is called an 'account' on the cover, indicated as 'Introduction' on the Contents page, and titled 'The Gold Leaves' in the body of the work, the essay. So let us return to it.
Referring constantly to the 'appended' texts, Jenner looks severally at issues to do with gender, controversial images, and the predominance of Persephone (daughter of Demeter, the harvest goddess). He situates the lamellae in their historicity of belief and law. Consequently, I'd have liked to know even more about socio-political aspects. He writes: 'It is now becoming obvious [Orphic and Pythagorean doctrines] stem from communities which rejected the conventional polis (Greek city-state).' Considering that the west of the Greek-speaking world (where many of the Gold Leaves come from) was the first to codify the laws on stone, bronze, wood and on walls, 'wresting legal dominance from the aristocracies' (Fine, The Ancient Greeks), and since persons discovered with the leaves folded in or on their mouths or hands were conceivably aristocratic, I found myself wondering whether they were seeking a kind of privilege denied them by the written laws? Or were they simply seeking to be part of a post-mortem elite, quite apart from any threat to their power? In either case, intimations of elitism complicate (in an interesting, and paradoxical way) Jenner's hidden argument for the importance of their belief in the history of western religion and human self-appraisal. It is certain that not just anyone could organise their funeral with such precision. To call them members of an elite or of a self-appointed 'elect' is not at all to undermine the chief advantage for adherents, common or aristocratic, if the tenets of their mystery were true. Belief in humanity's rights of access to the divine carried with it a heightened appreciation of any individual's worth and potential. The basis of the Leaves' putative subsuming myth, that of Dionysus Zagreus (described below), encompassed all of humanity.
Little by little we come to understand the importance of Plato, who found an unlikely belief partner in 'Orphic'-Pythagorean views of the afterlife. Jenner cites him again and again, calling on Phaedrus, Cratylus, Republic, Timaeus, Phaedo 69c twice, Meno and Phaedo 62b. Much of the argument turns around the Zagreus myth, criticised by R.G. Edmonds, among others, as anachronistic. But Jenner is not 'bothered' (his term) by the lack of 'hard evidence' for the myth before the 5th c. A.D. As we'll see, there are good reasons for its absence from surviving B.C.E. documents. So what is this Zagrean myth all about?
The Titans cut Dionysus Zagreus into seven pieces, cook him, eat him and partly digest him, whereat Zeus, his father, exterminates the Titans with a lightning bolt. Mankind is born from their smoking soot, and thereby comes to possess aspects of the Titans and aspects of Dionysus, aspects both 'evil' and divine. Incidentally, Pallas Athena made off with the heart of Dionysus Zagreus, enabling Dionysus to be reborn from this later. So the myth is not inalienable from 'Orphic'-Pythagorean belief in an afterlife, and it would have assisted initiands' belief in their right of entry to the divine; furthermore, to be born from the Titans' soot is to be born with their fault for murder and cannibalism; it is to carry a highly blameworthy, not to say 'original', sin. Remember also that the Titan Kronos swallowed all his children whole and uncooked, (except for Zeus, since his mother tricked Kronos into swallowing a stone instead), allowing for their 'happy' regurgitation.
As a New Zealander, Jenner shares with his compatriots (including me) a recent homophagic autochthonous history, making such a myth less untenable, perhaps. Cannibalism in Greek stories occurs in all its forms. Tricking a father into eating his own child begins the story of the House of Atreus and is at the source of half of extant Greek tragedies (5th c. B.C.E.). Unconscious cannibalism is the revenge tale of the daughters of King Pandion of Athens against Tereus of Thrace, carrying back, interestingly enough, the trick of unconscious cannibalism to the purported homeland of Orphism (Ovid, or Sophocles' lost tragedy Tereus). One may see in the sacrifice of Iphigenia to Artemis, after Menelaus' desecration of her grove (by hunting her goats and deer to feed his hungry soldiers) at Aulis (Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis), the sacrifice of a young woman in the way one would sacrifice an edible animal, and Euripides twice comes very close indeed to insinuating omophagia (the eating of raw – in this case human – flesh) into The Bacchae, but never actually intructs it to occur.
Orphic-Bacchic-Pythagorean beliefs were disseminated by travelling oral-delivery operators, whose texts (for they'd have carried books with them) have not survived. Charlatans or gifted seers, Orpheotelestai were free to choose from a wealth of myths and spells, and may have presided over rites of this unnamed, widespread, ill-defined cult. Jenner does not discuss counterfeiting or uninitiated possession, but he does speak of sincere initiated subjects submitting to the rites of travelling Orpheotelestai in good faith. While its practice may have been far from regulated, and its celebrants far from respectable, this does nothing to discredit the implications of phrases found on the leaves, such as, 'I too claim to be of your blessed race' (the leaf Thurii 2A). Jenner joins some scholars who posit this 'Orphic' element as an antecedent, if not a precursor, for the doctrine of remission of sin, and for the metaphor of mnemosynic homophagy proposed by Christ at the Last Supper: humanity inherited the original sin of Adam; the sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, returned to humanity access to the divine.
Jenner provides two indexes for us, one general and another helpfully listing all classical references. He regrets our ignorance of when leaves were manufactured for the initiand. Did it occur as the person was dying, or when they were initiated? Or between the two decisive events? This would certainly have helped the 'account' considerably, since we would then have known whether the written texts partook of mythos (the practise, the performance, of words, incised and placed at the last moment with the defunct) or of logos (words' written representation, viewable, readable, and able to be criticised or evaluated during the lifetime of the initiand). This is a good moment to say that I found Jenner's chapter on Ritual Performance thought-provoking: it had me wondering about the leftness and rightness – could the handedness of the initiate have played a part in some of the reversals of laterality found in the leaves? Might the altar, or the staginess, have interfered with laterality, or have been somehow related to the actual stages of 5th c. B.C.E. Greek tragedy (remembering that 'tragedy' means goat-song, perhaps referring to goats once sacrificed to Dionysus before performances and that an altar to Dionysus was usually situated in the centre of the 'orchestra')? Such questions on my part were possibly encouraged by Jenner's approach, which does not take the limitations of archaeological findings for the limitations of reality. Some of the adherents of this vaguely defined 'Orphic' phenomenon may have believed that mankind was born from the soot of the Titans, and even from the soot of a partly-digested Dionysus, endowing us all with Titanic guilt and the DNA of Zeus's own son, whose adult romps and ambiguous sexuality (after his second birth) would appeal in modern times to writers as various as Nietzsche and Paglia.
All of which shows how stimulating the book has been to one who certainly comes within its limited range of intended readers. Jenner's book is something like a five-day cricket test. You need to have a certain knowledge base (in pre-Christian and Greek matters) to appreciate it, and there is in this case no reportable result. If anything, you might experience a slight sense of anti-climax. As for his English translations denuded of their Ancient Greek originals, it is well that he reminds us not to read them as literature, or not only as literature (p. 98). While he imbues them with his own poetic sense, justly praised by poets and scholars, it's best to remember that the fragments derive from ritual recitations memorised or carried around in books of the time by Orpheotelestai (priests or charlatan peddlars); that these were developed after the Greeks' rationalisation of a shamanistic (in-origin) Orpheus (or his tendency, since Orpheus may never have existed); and it cannot be denied that they exhibit rhizomic threads that touch Pythagorean, Dionysiac and the popular, non-exclusive Eleusinian mysteries.
Taking Jenner's lead here, he might then have appended details about Pythagorean metempsychosis or the Eleusinian mysteries. While the Eleusinian mysteries (presided over by a hierophant, 'literally a showman of holy things' as W.K.C. Guthrie put it) were principally agricultural, seeking a favourable outcome from the earth, they climaxed in a personal, secret 'Beholding' (epopteia) and initiands would never have lost sight of the notion of earth as depository of souls. The Eleusinian mysteries, and Pythagorean metempsychosis which many writers find inseparable from early 'Orphism', would have offered hope of a better afterlife than that of 'a mere shadow comparable to a dream or smoke [which] squeals like a bat', as Jenner describes the concept of the soul in early Greek literature.
And so Gold Leaves is dealing with weighty matter indeed. If we accept the Zagreus myth, the leaves provide significant evidence in the history of Greco-Roman belief of a palpable transition from the Orphic-Bacchic-Pythagorean (and Demeter-corn-based Eleusinian) to the sin-remitting Christian. This would add sauce to some aspects of religious history, such as that in the first century after Christ's crucifixion 'the sacrament of the Last Supper was ignorantly construed as cannibalism' (E.T. Salmon). Jenner does not get embroiled in a debate about applicability to Christian belief, but his epigraph, his cautious argumentation and his parting words suggest where his sympathies lie. His initiand asserts 'baldly without parallel clauses … and all the more effective for that': I am the kid that rushed to milk, '(meaning […] 'A god am I and mortal no longer')'. While Edmonds has pointed to a kind of resurrection of the Puritan view of afterlife of the elect in some attempted constructions of an Orphic 'religion' since the 19th century, Jenner prefers not to leave us with the image of merited election, but with that of purifying human/divine/animal sacrifice. The words are from the Agnus Dei of Christian liturgy, found in Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran and Orthodox (Western Rite) Churches: 'the ceremonies of the Lamb that takest away the sins of the world'.
While it is possible to read his translations as poems in themselves, it is certainly better to familiarise oneself with the essay, or with the growing body of scholarship, some of it appearing at the time of writing. For these golden lamellae are becoming a hot topic. Whether Zagrean belief grew into Dionysus-castrating Christian belief, or whether it is a coincidence, simply antedating it, these 'speculations' (Burkert) or 'doctrines' (Plato) may have contributed (paradoxically, if their practice was exclusive) to a heightened appreciation of the value of the 'live' individual, or steered adherents to visualisation of a dignified life surpassing death. An aggregation of Pythagorean metempsychosis and other mysteries (tending towards a new concept of the living endowed with undying soul), merging with the Zagrean homophagic myth (replete with guilt and rights of entry to the divine), albeit implicated in a likely form of travelling quackery making use of evocative 'Orphic' texts, might be of great importance for us in understanding our intellectual and spiritual anthropogony. Although we cannot be sure of the connection, Jenner's study with its sensitive translations of liturgical fragments reminds us of (Greco-Christian) religion's role in our brief history, in dignifying and valuing the tender, complex and not-always innocent self.

Many thanks Bill for taking the time to write this reasonably thorough review. Re your thoughts about 'handedness' in relation to left and right: there is much more consistency about the placing of the pool of Memory that would appear at first sight. On the longer leaves, the pool is on the right after the pool of Forgetfulness which is marked by a cypress tree. In one case ('Petelia') the pool of Forgetfulness is on the left, marked by a cypress. Only the abbreviated leaves (from Crete and Thessaly) have the tree by the pool of Memory which is always on the right except in the case of a very corrupt text, 'Rethymnon'. The placing of pool and tree here is, I think, guided by an actual topography and is completely anomalous. The desirable pool, you will notice is almost always on the right, and this conforms to the ritual of augury in which an officiating priest would stand facing north with the east (the direction of the rising sun and renewal of life) on his right. Note too that in Plato, at the crossroads in the Underworld, the road to Elysium leads to the right, that to Tartarus (the Greek Inferno) to the left. I think that whether a person was lefthanded or righthanded would be less important to a Greek initiate than this cultural and religious privileging of the right-hand side.
And may i make another comment? Nothing strange about a connexion between Pythagoras and Plato; the latter's dialogues (esp Phaedo, Gorgias) bear the imprint of Pythagoras in their statements about eschatology, i.e. what the souls of the dead will experience beyond death.


The phrase " back-to-school" feels much more like a call to battle in our house than a call to education. The worry, stress, and to-do lists tend to overtake the last days of summer until there is little joy left, and it feels like a countdown to something harrowing. Or at least it does to me.
I have many friends who don't feel that way. Some of them had little countdown widgets on their phones and started buying supplies in June with sweet anticipation.
Facebook feeds flood with "Pinterest-perfect" pictures and "My name is and I am aspiring to be…" photos. Statuses range from "FINALLY! I am so ready for routine!" to "I am going to miss my baby so much!" and it all comes together to bring us the most emotional day of the year as moms.
If you don't have kids in school yet, you have your own set of emotions about all your friends' Facebook posts, the ridiculously long lines to buy pants at your local discount store, and all the OTHER moms who stop you in the aisles, carts heaped with paper and pencils, glue and backpacks, shoes and jeans, and graham crackers in cute little bags. Sometimes they say, "AWWWW, I remember when Suzy Jane was that little… enjoy it! Soon she will be going off to school!" I remember being the preschool days mom. Well, sort of. I KNOW I was… Oh sheesh, it wasn't that long ago but, no. I don't really remember. I have been too busy sharpening a million different pencils. Or maybe I am just losing brain cells from the Sharpie I have been using for 7.2 hours to write their names on every.single.thing that will enter the school so that hopefully I will only have to replace it once this year.
Whatever your feeling about back-to-school time, though, one thing is certain: kids grow up. they go off to school (or you homeschool, in which case back-to-school is a whole other ball game). They learn to drive. They go to college. They DATE (YIKES!!!!). They get jobs (we hope). They stop being kids. They start being adults. One step at a time, one milestone at a time. It happens.
Moms, you have the hardest job in the world readying your own Suzy Jane for an uncertain world. This year as we all go back to school, let's remember how hard we are all working to see our kids through the scary hallways of school and on to the path of life. Let's remember to go boldly before them and be their cheerleaders. Let's be the mom who stops and helps a lost kindergartner tie his shoes or offers to wipe up spilled milk in the hallway for a teacher. You see, we will all feel more brave if we remember we aren't doing this alone. We have each other's backs.
Let's go back to school bravely. Together. One more year…at a time. 2 days down…178 more to go.

Creation of a high quality tourism with a Slovakian – Hungarian cooperation to facilitate the prosperity of the cross-border wine tourism.
Exploitation of the outstanding potential of wine tourism even in the peripheral areas of Tokaj –Hegyalja.
Creation of new workplaces, the increase of employment and reduction of unemployment rate by the multiplier effect of tourism.
Creation of new wine tourism centres in the partner villages and towns included a joint Hungarian-Slovakian tourist centre.
Increase of tourism and the number of guests in the partner villages and towns.
50 % of the guests should get to the cross-border partner too, as a result of the cross-border cooperation.
The investments and developments within the project would contribute to the positive image and fame of Tokaj-Hegyalja. The works have started. According to the project, the historic wine cellars of Mikóháza called "Alsó és Felső pincesor" are going to be renovated. The roads in front of the cellars and the footbridges across the brook are also going to be renovated. Public places and squares with benches and information charts are going to be created, and it is planned to open the "House of Brandy" with an information centre to provide information to the guests about the cross-border history of wine and brandy. The total cost of the investment is 797.621 EURO. The several developments in Mikóháza could serve as a starting point for the foundation of gastro tourism as the new public squares would provide enough space for festivals, where visitors could taste local drink and food.
In Sátoraljaújhely the "Ungvári" wine cellars will be reconstructed adding them open air resting areas, playground, tourist information charts and inner road system. A drainage network and fences are also will be built around them. The total cost of these investments is 340.000 EURO.
In Kistoronya (Slovakia) a showroom called House of Tokay Wine will be opened, where several indoor and outdoor exhibitions, a souvenir shop and a conference room would be found. The function of the showroom is to introduce and promote the traditions, the products and the production processes of the wine region of Tokay. The total cost of the House of Tokay Wine in Kistoronya is 650.604 EURO.
All of the members of the partnership emphasized the importance of the cooperation, and according to this, they have agreed on a joint development, implementation and financing. During the process of implementation they will synchronise their marketing and they also ready to publish joint brochures and websites. Promotional items with a unified image would be preferred by them and they will take part in festivals, exhibitions and other events jointly.
Gardening, creation of public squares (the set of a pergola, information charts, benches and toilets; renovation of footbridges).
The opening of a smaller showroom called The House of Brandy, which could serve as an information centre, too.
The investments are planned to be realized in two stages. As the first phase "Ungvár" wine cellars and their environment will be developed and the works of the second phase will affect the valley of cellars called "Pincék völgye". The main gate and the concierge office would be renovated, and a stone fence would be built with information tables by the project. The other security fences included the hedge near the main entrance would also be renewed. The less attractive sight of the private gardens on the side of the town would be also hidden by a wall fence. It is also planned to set a sewage system to the existing buildings, and the modernization of the water and electrical network would be also essential (e. g. the change of the overhead cables by underground cables, the building of a new road covered by rubble with drainage, the cleaning and maintenance of the existing drainage ditches).
In Kistoronya (Slovakia) a showroom called House of Tokay Wine will be opened, where several indoor and outdoor exhibitions, a souvenir shop and a conference room would be found. The function of the showroom is to introduce and promote the traditions and the present of the wine region of Tokay by the products and the viticulture of the area.
The creation of a high quality tourism with a Slovakian – Hungarian cooperation to facilitate the prosperity of the cross-border wine tourism.
Exploitation of the outstanding potential of wine tourism even in the peripheral and less-known areas of Tokaj –Hegyalja.
The strengthening of the small and medium-sized businesses and the creation of new workplaces, the increase of employment and reduction of unemployment rate by the multiplier effect of tourism.
By the fifth year after finishing the project the number of the visitors in the towns and villages of the partnership should reach the 10.000 guests in Mikóháza (it is 1000 guests/ year now) , the 17.000 guests in Sátoraljaújhely (it is 10.611 guests/year) and the 14.000 guests in Kistoronya / Mala Trna (it is 5000 guests/ year at present).
The surrounding of the wine cellars in Mikóháza and Sátoraljaújhely will have been renovated, new public squares and open air exhibitions will have been created. Street lighting will have been set in Sátoraljaújhely, a new road will have been built in Mikóháza, and the brook will also have been cleaned. As a result of these work Mikóháza and Sátoraljaújhely will have become ready for the increasing tourism.
In the centre of Mikóháza The House of Brandy will have been opened, which will demonstrate the viticulture and brandy culture of the area, and it will also serve as an information centre for tourists to provide further information about the history of wine and brandy and the cross-border facilities of wine tourism.
In Kistoronya (Slovakia) a showroom called House of Tokay Wine will have been opened, where several indoor and outdoor exhibitions, a souvenir shop and a conference room would be found.
Joint wine tourism programmes will have been organized.
The members of the partnership will synchronize their marketing activity.

We compare the rate for scattering of neutralinos from nuclei with the flux of muons induced by energetic neutrinos from neutralino annihilation in the Sun and Earth. We consider scalar and spin interactions of neutralinos. We find that the event rate in a kg of Ge is roughly equivalent to that in a 10^5–1^07-m^2 muon detector for a neutralino with primarily scalar coupling to nuclei. For a spin-coupled neutralino, the event rate in a 50-g H detector is roughly that in a 10–500-m^2 muon detector. Expected backgrounds favor forthcoming elastic-scattering detectors for scalar couplings while neutrino detectors are favored for spin couplings.

Q: How are class, package, document writers using modifications to \catcode I'm thinking that the primary uses of changing \catcode in LaTeX are to:

*

*enable "private" macros (e.g., \makeatletter ... \@foo ... \makeatother or the expl3 syntax

*allow for verbatim-like commands/environments

Is there any widespread use of active characters beyond ~?
(Note: I'm not asking about the meanings of the \catcodes as set up by TeX/LaTeX, but the cases where they get changed from those defaults.)

This is a bijoux one-bedroom apartment. So small (no more than 700 sq feet) that it was a wonderful challenge to re-design. The client's brief was a lot more storage, state of the art kitchen because she loves cooking and entertaining and a calm and chic bathroom. The entire layout was re-arranged in order to fulfil the requirements of making each room more spacious and efficient. For example, the kitchen and bathroom were reversed such that the kitchen was in the living room rather than just a dim room off the corridor. The corridor was widened in order to have better lighting and storage on both sides. The client loves books and reading so the corridor would have been a wasted poky space if not for the widening to allow for floor to ceiling built-in bookcases. Even the space under the stair was not wasted, as it was made into an office or desk space for the computer, printer and other stationery. Completed 2010.


The installation is very simple - just plug, turn on, and it works! no need to identify and to setup the Wi-Fi. Just plug and enjoy!
Works very good, almost no delay time, no lags or interruptions.
The night vision mode works very good too.
The product feels like it made from quality materials.
The microphone attached to the camera (baby's side) is very sensitive, even if the baby will quietly yell - you will hear it clearly over the monitor.
My house is pretty big (2 floors) - It worked without any problem from any zone over the house.
There is only 1 wall adapter for both the monitor and the camera, So if i would like the camera to be on, i can't charge the monitor at the same time.
Altough the Walkie-Talkie function works, sometimes it misses words and the record is not clearly heard.
Extremamente barato para as funcionalidades que oferece. Um equipamento de marca, com estas funcionalidades em Portugal custa sempre no mínimo o dobro do preço.
A camera é suficientemente boa. Tem a mais valia dos infravermelhos para ver à noite.
Os microfone consegue captar pequenos sons do bebé a chorar a distancias de 2/3mts.
Tem musica para acalmar os bebes.
O sensor de temperatura dá leituras corretas da temperatura do quarto.
Não dá para regular o volume das musicas de embalar para o bebe.
Não dá para trocar de musica.
O monitor podia ser maior.
Like it. Looks good quality and good price for such quality.
Firs day using so no errors found.
Delay is very small. Works in 50 Hz or 60 Hz. On 60 Hz screen looks better.
Аккуратно собран. Функционален. через две-три стены пробивается сигналом. Небольшая задержка сигнала (примерно 1-1.5 секунды). Приемный блок размером с сотовый телефон, можно ставить вертикально, сзади есть подставка. Ну и функционал за эту цену изумительный. Еще есть русский язык в прошивке аппарата!
пожалуй никаких минусов, разве что кого-то может не устроить отсутствие аккумуляторной батареи в блоке камеры, но это можете решить внешней батареей.
It works very very well, no need to register, nothing. Just plug in the camera ,charge the receiver and voilà!
Good image and good sound,for the price it is very very good.
To consider: just bring one Europe AC adapter.
Baby monitor works very very well, no need to register, nothing. Just plug in the camera, charge the receiver in the beginning! Perfect image and good sound. For the price it is very very good and cannot be compared to other monitors in the market.
Product arrived as advertised, however seller sold without having in stock, it took time to post. However all right with product.
connects without even trying and the quality of the video is perfect. night vision also top quality. this has the quality of other devices that cost triple. totally value for money.
Funciona muito bem, à primeira, fica logo emparelhada a câmara com o receptor.
O termómetro funciona bem e no geral a qualidade parece boa. O sistema vox parece funcionar, mas ainda é preciso testar em ambiente real.


When you're buying a home scraping together enough for the down payment will take the biggest chunk out of your savings. Typically your regular mortgage payments will represent your greatest ongoing expense. Make sure, however, that you set aside enough money to cover the "hidden" costs associated with any home purchase.
Inspection Fee: If you're purchasing a resale home, you may want to consider a professional building inspector to give the home the once-over before you finalize your offer to purchase.
Mortgage Application Fee: Some lenders charge this to process your application and each time your mortgage is renewed.
Property Valuation Fee: Your financial institution may do a property valuation to ensure that the property meets the criteria for a mortgage.
Legal Fees: You'll need a lawyer to handle some of the paper work.
Closing Costs: Any amount that the seller has prepaid – such as property and school taxes, condo maintenance fees, and utility fees – will be adjusted so that the buyer pays the excess amount back to the seller.
For a resale home, the "hidden" costs can amount to 1.5% to 2% of the purchase price. For a new home, that figure can rise to 2.5%. A $300,000 home, for instance, could easily mean $4,500 - $7,500 in additional costs. That doesn't even include the cost of cancelling and reconnecting your utilities, or items like new appliances, furniture, carpets or curtains, which you also might need for your home.
So tally up the extras, and factor them into your home budget. A little planning will help you remain in a comfortable financial position as long as you own your home.

A look back on FedNowSM Service progress in 2020 — and what's ahead in 2021
FedNow Service | December 15, 2020 |
In a year of unprecedented change, FedNow Program Executive Ken Montgomery reflects on the progress the Federal Reserve has made on the FedNow Service, our upcoming instant payments infrastructure, and previews program milestones to come in 2021.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." isn't just the famous opening line from Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities. It also strikes me as a fairly accurate description of 2020.
While 2020 "bests" will vary, a bright spot for the Federal Reserve during this challenging pandemic year is the progress we've made on developing the FedNow Service. I'm proud of what we've accomplished to date, both on industry collaboration and developments behind the scenes.
We began the year by running fast to continue building our business team and working toward foundational decisions about the FedNow Service's features, design and implementation timeline. We're making good strides on development, and we're pleased to report the pandemic has not impeded our progress.
Industry feedback has been vital as we plan the FedNow Service — and it gained momentum as we launched the FedNow Community, which now has 1,080 members from more than 700 organizations. Due to the pandemic, we're collaborating with each other via virtual events and channels. These include webinars, town halls, roundtable sessions, conference calls, focus groups, working groups, polls and our website.
As we benefited from these industry insights and work by our FedNow team, Federal Reserve Board Governor Lael Brainard, Kansas City Fed President Esther George and I announced the FedNow Service's initial features and functionality in a livestreamed webinar. We explained that in order to expedite bringing the FedNow Service to market, our service's initial launch will include core clearing and settlement functionality and key value-added features, such as a request-for-payment capability and tools to support participants in their handling of payment inquiries, reconcilements and certain exceptions. We'll augment and enhance features in subsequent releases.
We also have established the FedNow ISO® 20022 Working Group of diverse industry stakeholders and experts to obtain feedback on our proposed message specifications and workflows. Their invaluable input is being used to inform and refine the FedNow ISO 20022 message specifications. These are the set of payment message data fields for both value and non-value messages that will enable participants to offer efficient end-to-end instant payment services through the FedNow Service. Our goal is to meet the industry's needs and align with the standard to the best extent possible to achieve both efficiency and effectiveness.
In addition, the FedNow Reconcilement Working Group has begun identifying data, tools and service features to help ensure financial institutions can incorporate FedNow transactions into their master account reconciliation procedures with the Federal Reserve. Similarly, we're working with correspondents to ensure we can meet their data and reconcilement needs. A big technology project takes a village, and we're very thankful for the volunteers in both work groups for their expertise, insights, time and great work.
Our FedNow pilot program is designed to obtain input from members of the FedNow Community, including financial institutions, service providers and payment processors that partner with financial institutions. Our pilot announcement was met with outstanding interest. We're committed to ensuring the program fully represents the wide variety of institutions and service providers, connection types and settlement arrangements. We've received more than 200 expressions of interest in pilot program participation to date. We'll call upon the entire pilot group or subgroups with specific expertise to participate in service testing and other activities.
In addition, our goal is to drive toward compatible message standards and implementation guidance between the FedNow Service and RTP®. Using the widely accepted ISO 20022 standard for the FedNow Service will help support innovation and greater end-to-end efficiency in instant payments — and it will serve as a building block for interoperability.
So with 2020 close to wrapping up, and a lot of good progress under our belts, you may be wondering what's ahead for the FedNow Service. Below is an early glimpse, with many more details to come as we kick off the New Year:
Pilot advisory phase: In February, we plan to kick off the pilot program's advisory phase. Pilot participants will help us ensure service design meets user needs; inform the roadmap, industry readiness approaches and overall development strategy; and participate in feedback sessions on service features and functionality.
Additional FedNow Community engagement: We'll continue our roundtable discussions with key segments, such as bankers' banks, corporate credit unions and core payments processors. In addition, we will form new FedNow Community working groups to address topics we've discussed with the industry, such as account-to-account payments, correspondent banking, fraud prevention and our liquidity management tool.
ISO 20022 specs: Also in the first quarter, we intend to publish ISO 20022 message flows and detailed message specifications for release 1 of the FedNow Service. These specifications are based on internationally accepted best practices, a review of other payment systems' specifications and input from the working group and FedNow Community.
Program milestones: We're committed to being transparent about our progress and providing periodic updates throughout the year as we achieve key milestones in the delivery of the FedNow Service.
Let me end with my hope that we all have a healthier — but equally productive — 2021.

All of the repeating events were imported as single events in Google. In the absence of this program, I would have had to delete each one individually. I had nearly 3,000 to delete. (Rick T.)"
