Mel Watt is Ideal Choice to Lead FHFA
Charlene Crowell, Special to The Informer Send an email May 13, 2013
By Charlene Crowell
President Obama recently nominated Melvin (Mel) Watt, a long-time North Carolina Congressman, to direct the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). While major news media reported on the development, few mentioned exactly what the new job would entail or the significance of an African-American potentially leading a key financial office.
At a news conference announcing the nomination, President Obama said, "Mel understands as well as anybody what caused the housing crisis. He knows what it's going to take to help responsible homeowners fully recover. And he's committed to helping folks just like his mom – Americans who work really hard, play by the rules day in and day out to provide for their families."
When our nation faced the worst financial crisis since that of the Great Depression, the House Financial Services Committee faced dealing with the nation's financial solvency on one hand and millions of homeowners who were in or approaching foreclosure on the other. Through a lengthy series of discussions and hearings, Rep. Watt emerged as a voice of reason, consistently fair and balanced in crafting solutions to complex problems.
Following the Watt nomination, the Center for Responsible Lending said of the nominee, "He was one of the first elected officials to recognize and warn about the dangers of subprime lending, offering legislation to nip predatory lending in the bud and tirelessly advocating for ways to prevent needless home foreclosures…The Senate should move quickly to confirm him."
Created by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the FHFA oversees the nation's secondary mortgage markets: 12 Federal Home Loan Banks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. FHFA is also empowered to make policy, implement rules, and regularly report to Congress. In 2010, the combined debt and obligations of these 14 government-sponsored enterprises totaled $6.7 trillion.
Watt's nomination is reminiscent of an earlier one in 1966. The late Andrew Brimmer, nominated by President Lyndon Johnson, became the first African-American member of the Federal Reserve Board. A Louisiana native, Brimmer attended segregated elementary and high schools but went on to earn in a Ph.D. in economics in 1957 from Harvard.
Watt, another son of the South raised from modest beginnings, became a 1967 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As a result of having the highest academic average in its business school, he also became president of the business honors fraternity. Three years later, he earned a JD degree from Yale University Law School and was a published member of the Yale Law Journal.
Both men's lives are proof that difficulty need not defeat a person's dreams or goals. And further, what may appear improbable is not the same thing as being impossible.
On learning of Rep. Watt's nomination, North Carolina U.S. Senator Richard Burr reached across the chamber's partisan divide to offer his hopes for confirmation saying, "Having served with Mel, I know of his commitment to sustainable federal housing programs and am confident he will work hard to protect taxpayers from future exposure to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I look forward to working with Rep. Watt in his new role to find new ways to facilitate more private sector involvement in the housing and mortgage markets."
Another U.S. Senator and chair of the chamber's banking committee, South Dakota's Sen. Tim Johnson, said, "Mel possesses the intelligence, temperament and depth of knowledge on housing finance policy necessary to succeed as Director."
For communities of color that lost a trillion dollars in wealth during the housing crisis, we share an important stake in Rep. Watt's nomination. It is an opportunity for an accomplished African-American to develop consumer-focused policy and implement rules to better serve all of America's people.

The Australian declares war on Yassmin Abdel-Magied, misses the point again
For some reason, Caroline Overington, in her attacks on Yassmin Abdel-Magied in The Australian, cannot seem to understand this whole idea of soft diplomacy.
Irfan Yusuf,
In 2008, I went to an event at Gleebooks, an independent bookshop in Sydney's inner west. The British Council and High Commission was putting on a do for a visiting author of conservative bent. The book was, in parts, entertaining but also included some rather sexist material. (Toward the end of the book, the author wrote about a female friend of his and made specific mention of the size of her posterior growing larger since the last time he saw her.) Still, that didn't stop the British taxpayer from forking out some dosh, just as they would do for any author or performer or artist whose work suits their soft diplomacy interests. In the case of the present author, perhaps the book suited some "deradicalisation of young Muslims" purpose.
DFAT and Australian embassies do the same. As with all activities of DFAT, it all comes out of our pocket. Soft diplomacy, soft power, person-to-person contact, whatever you wish to call it. Australian artists and writers visit various places to collaborate with other articles via a host of programs run by universities as well as DFAT sections such as the Australia Indonesia Institute. Now I am no sycophant of Indonesia, especially when it comes to the treatment of Christian politicians like Ahok. But I learned a hell of a lot about the religious cultures and civil society organisations of our closest Muslim-majority neighbour when I visited Indonesia on a DFAT-funded junket in January 2006. As did the five other Australians who joined me.
[How we can really help women and girls escape forced marriages]
So why am I saying all this? Because, for some reason, Caroline Overington of The Australian cannot seem to understand this whole idea of soft diplomacy. After a robust shouting match on Q&A over sharia between engineer Yassmin Abdel-Magied and independent Senator Jacqui Lambie on Monday evening, Overington decided on Thursday to run a front-page "scoop" headlined "Taxpayers billed for Q&A activist's grand tour of Islamic regimes".
A terrific culture-war story for The Australian's diminishing readership. It has all the ingredients: the wretched Q&A, the nasty ABC, the satanic Tony Jones and the nasty religion whose adherents make up a frightening 25% of humanity. But seriously, reading the story made me wonder what all the fuss was about. It was hardly a scoop. Overington herself notes that the not-so-grant tour was promoted "last November". That's three months ago.
Overington is especially upset about the fact that Abdel-Magied visited these nasty brutal regimes while claiming on Q&A that she saw Islam as "the most feminist religion". Now, I'm no women's activist, but I felt a bit perturbed about Abdel-Magied's claim. True, in an ideal Islamic world, things might work out well for the Muslim ladies. But in reality, most Middle Eastern women aren't enjoying the freedoms that Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Jacqui Lambie and Caroline Overington do here.
But it was almost as if Overington were arguing that someone with Abdel-Magied's beliefs should not be sent by DFAT. What kind of woman should they send, then? Kirralie whatserface from the Q Society? Janet Albrechtsen? Andrew Bolt?
Overington discusses at length the awful treatment of women in the countries Abdel-Magied visited. This is all public knowledge, and Overington may ask herself why Abdel-Magied, her family, my mum, my siblings, me, my nephew and my nephew's dog refuse to live in any of these places.
[Dear Caroline Overington, the White Australia Policy is over, deal with it]
Still, the fact remains that we have to have relations with these nations. Overington's employer was once partly owned by a Saudi prince. A fair few Australians do business with these places. Our food exports help shore up food security in the region, despite our insistence on fighting unpopular wars there, and pursuing a foreign policy that is despised across the region.
These nations also need to feel secure that not all Australian kids are ready to join Islamic State. Yes, the entire Middle East despises IS. Does sending a smart young lady in her mid-20s who works as an engineer on an oil rig to talk up Australia's treatment of its Arabs/Sudanese/Egyptians/Muslims make sense? Clearly DFAT thought so. As DFAT told Overington:
"Yassmin Abdel-Magied visited a number of countries in the Middle East to promote Australia as an open, innovative, democratic and diverse nation. She met youth representatives, scientists, entrepreneurs, women's groups and others."
Soft diplomacy is money well spent. Perhaps Overington could learn some herself.

Irfan you mistakenly conclude that Overington is able to observe and learn, rather than blandly, superficially, repetitively, boringly reproduce her master's drivel.
zut alors
This piece is pure common sense. Although I am mildly surprised that Guthrie hasn't wedged some ABC underling into offering an apology for having a guest on Q&A who has actually set foot in the Middle East for a speaking tour (under the ingenious guise of DFAT no less).
Can't wait to see 'Kirralie whatserface from the Q Society' on the panel. Stay tuned, viewers.

Thanks Irfan, good to see your laid back sense again. Has anyone offered you a regular writing gig? Or does real life call?
Thanks Irfan, balanced, erudite, calm, everything we don't get from The Australian.
You have to remember that The Australian is a confected outrage machine.

A work colleague gave me a copy of today's Oz to share the NK assassination story (I wouldn't part with my money for such a garbage Paper) but glancing at the Overingtton article made me feel sick so I immediately gave up reading…..I need some large format newspaper to prevent weeds growing through the river pebbles around the pool but I won't use this one in case the crap leaches out into the pool water.
Reply to Fairmind
Leon, you will find The Oz is unmatched for lining the cat's litter box or the cocky's cage.
I doubt DFAT using taxpayer dollars to send a Muslim woman in the person of Abdel-Magied to the Middle East achieves anything better or worse than its simple purpose of signaling that Australia isn't, as a matter of form, anti-Muslim. To ascribe 'soft diplomacy' content to that display of form though, when Abdel-Mageid own left liberal identity politics is so obviously irrelevant to a Middle East riven by sectarian religious wars overlaid by resurgent regional imperial rivalries, is maybe a little on the generous side. She's clever, but pets often are.
Nevertheless, this article reminds us of the astonishing hypocrisy of the right in castigating those who demand that live animal exports to Muslim countries cease (at least until verifiable decent butchering practices are instituted). Shouldn't refusing to feed the enemy Muslim masses be a first order priority for these supposed arch-patriots? Or does the fact that live animal exports to Muslim countries generates income for Australian pastoralists makes it okay, in the same way that AWB continuing to sell wheat to Saddam Hussein's regime after our declaring war and forbidden such trade was ignored by the right, rather than condemned as treasonous?

Reply to Will
Sorry Will, but I think your observation of Abdel-Magied being a pet, is mean.
Yes whether we like it or not Australia contributed a great deal to the mess that the middle east is now, if Howard hadn't been such a "buddy" of George W, Iraq, Syria, Israel & Yemen, (apart from Saudi Arabia) wouldn't be in the mess they are in now. Whether we like it or not we were part of US led wrecking crew, that created chaos in the middle east. I think that having soft diplomatic visits especially for young minds is crucial, education is the most important way of counteracting age old treatment of girls, it is the only way that girls & women get out of the poverty cycle, and are able to make meaningful contributions to their families & their worlds. Whether Australia likes it or not the likes of Abdel-Magied are our future, those of her ilk are showing the ill informed that change is inevitable, and that they need to find a way of dealing with it. Constant change is part of our world, writers like Irfan are our guides.

Thank you, that is a useful comparison and highlights the long way Australia is behind many European jurisdictions.
Undoubtedly, there are a number significant headwinds which the banks need to navigate through, including recommendations that will emanate from the Financial Services Royal Commission coupled with the prospect of greater government intervention (if the ALP is elected in the Federal election). How much of this is factored already into banks share prices is difficult to determine. A further consideration is the the potential change in the composition of bank share ownership (which is dominated by retail investors) who have been beneficiaries of fully franked dividends. If franking changes are implemented by a new ALP government the mix of share ownership may shift toward greater ownership by local and foreign institutions.
There may well be a perennial discount attached to the Murdoch dynasty and its voting structure. Nevertheless, on a broader level there remains appealing elements in family backed companies with net cash balance sheets. Rupert Murdoch has undoubtedly shown extraordinary longevity in his passion for publishing and his tenacity to nurture assets through difficult times. NWS's stable of assets in its News and Publishing business is testament of the advantages of taking a longer term approach. Too often, the dispersed shareholding model naturally aligns itself to short term performance indicators. The idiosyncratic nature of Murdoch's jurisdictional preference for a US holding company is well celebrated and admittedly does dilute the value of Australian franking credits. Yet, my sense of having visited News Corp's Head Office in New York and also its London office is that proximity to vibrant and large competitive markets does bring advantages.

Boeing to Develop New Electronic Circuits for Extreme Space Environments
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] is part of a university-industry team that received a one-year, $2.75 million NASA contract to further develop a reliable, cost effective electronic technology that helps robotic and human space missions operate in environments of extreme cold and space radiation.
Led by principal investigator Dr. John D. Cressler, Byers Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, the team will continue to develop Silicon-Germanium (SiGe) mixed-signal circuits for extreme environments, first initiated by NASA in 2005. Mixed-signal circuits contain components that process analog and digital signals and are essential to the design of electronics that operate, control, monitor and reconfigure many space systems.
The Phase 2A contract period concludes in April 2007, and Phase 2B is anticipated to run until April 2009. Under the contract, the team will build on its Phase 1 successes and continue to define application tasks; design and fabricate integrated circuits; develop simulation and modeling tools for design; assess reliability and radiation tolerance; develop integrated packaging; and qualify the performance of the devices in extreme cold temperatures and under incident radiation.
The technology could be used for upcoming NASA Robotic Lunar Exploration Program (RLEP) initiatives. Starting with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launch in October 2008, the RLEP is responsible for a series of robotic missions to the moon and supports future exploration activities for sustained robotic and human exploration to Mars and beyond.
SiGe electronics have intrinsic tolerance to space radiation and reduce the need for housing the electronics in warm boxes, conserving energy, reducing launch weight and improving reliability. This technology would allow extended mission range and duration, could be used in lunar landers, hoppers, rovers or data gathering stations, and also may benefit human space transportation systems for returning astronauts to the moon, Mars and beyond.
"Future spacecraft returning to the moon will determine if ice exists in a form usable by humans in the permanently dark craters of the south polar region," said Dr. Leora Peltz, the leader of the Boeing team in Advanced Network and Space Systems, a division of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems. "Water, if found, could be used as an in-space fuel source. SiGe technology could enable robots and humans to remain longer and accomplish more, either searching for existing resources or performing scientific missions on the lunar surface."
"We are confident that we will continue to achieve the level of success that will have a lasting impact on space exploration missions," said Cressler. "The successful execution of our SiGe integrated electronics effort requires the synergy of many disciplines and team members. We have a truly world-class team of researchers, representing a nice blend of industry, university and NASA team members."
The team includes the Georgia Institute of Technology, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Auburn University, the University of Tennessee, Vanderbilt University, the University of Maryland, the University of Arkansas, Boeing, BAE Systems, IBM and Lynguent.
SiGe technology is rapidly making inroads in high-speed communications because of its low cost and ease-of-integration. The project, which leverages and adapts SiGe technology for specific space exploration needs, is part of the NASA Exploration Systems Research and Technology Program in support of the nation's Vision for Space Exploration.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the nation's premiere research universities, with strengths in engineering, the sciences and computing. Ranked 9th in U.S. News & World Report's list of top public universities, Georgia Tech operates a research program that totals more than $400 million per year.
A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world's largest space and defense businesses. Headquartered in St. Louis, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is a $30.8 billion business. It provides network-centric system solutions to its global military, government, and commercial customers. It is a leading provider of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems; the world's largest military aircraft manufacturer; the world's largest satellite manufacturer; a foremost provider of advanced concepts and technologies; a leading provider of space-based communications; the primary systems integrator for U.S. missile defense; NASA's largest contractor; and a global leader in sustainment solutions and launch services.

Teledue è un canale televisivo generalista del Gruppo Norba, noto in passato come Telenorba 8. È stato affiliato al circuito Italia 7.

Storia
Nel 2006 il cambio di denominazione avvenne in seguito a un restyling generale del gruppo televisivo. Nella stessa occasione il canale principale del gruppo, Telenorba, aggiunse il numero "7" al proprio nome, diventando Telenorba 7, mentre il terzo canale, precedentemente noto come Telepuglia, aggiunse un "9", diventando Telepuglia 9. Tuttavia fino al 2010 durante la maggior parte delle trasmissioni di Telenorba 8 continuò a comparire a fianco al logo TN8 anche la scritta "Teledue".

Dal 15 novembre 2014 Telenorba 8 tornò a chiamarsi Teledue a seguito di un nuovo restyling dei due canali principali del gruppo. Inizialmente il logo di Telenorba 8 coesistette sullo schermo insieme a quello di Teledue e poi scomparve definitivamente a dicembre 2014..

A seguito del refarming aprile 2022, l'emittente occupa il canale 12 del DTT. Il canale 11, occupato in precedenza, è riassegnato a Radio Norba Television.

School board member files election complaint
Chad Klimack
PATASKALA – A local bond issue campaign has become divisive, with a school board member filing an election complaint against a group campaigning against the issue.
Licking Heights Board of Education Vice President Matt Satterwhite on Wednesday filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission against a group calling itself Residents Opposed to Increased School Taxes.
Satterwhite alleges in the complaint the group mailed out a flier that contained misleading and false statements.
The flier, which Satterwhite said he received on Monday, asks, "Why keep this massive Licking Heights tax hike a secret?" It then states, "They hope you'll be on vacation!" The flier features a picture of a young girl reading a book while holding a finger up to her mouth. It also reads, "Tuesday, August 5 is when Licking Heights school officials are hoping you don't vote. Why?"
Satterwhite said the statements are false.
"They're knowingly providing false information to the community in an effort to defeat the levy," he said.
Heights placed a 2.86-mill bond issue on the Aug. 5 special election ballot. If approved, the issue would generate $26.6 million. Height intends to use that money, in addition to millions in matching state funds, to build a new high school on ground it already purchased next to the current high school on Cable Road.
The school board placed the issue on the August special election ballot, Satterwhite said, because it wants to open a new school by 2017 to address overcrowding issues in the district. Heights also has tied the passage of the levy to offering all-day kindergarten during the upcoming 2014-15 school year. It currently offers a half-day program.
Satterwhite alleges in the complaint members of the anti-tax group knowingly included false statements in the flier. Some of the group's members, including Pataskala farmer Howard Emswiler and a political consultant hired by the group, met with Satterwhite and district officials at a July 23 meeting, Satterwhite said. At the meeting, district officials told the group the school board had urged a pro-levy group to mail out a flier to registered voters to ensure district voters were aware of the bond issue, Satterwhite added.
"Despite this direct conversation urging that the anti-levy campaign deal with facts, the attached flier still went out including a section where they purport to assert that district officials are hoping and that this bond effort is a secret and there is a hope that people do not vote," Satterwhite wrote in the complaint. "These representations were made knowingly after the direct representation from the school officials to the contrary."
The Ohio Elections Commission's Probable Cause Panel was set to consider the complaint during hearing late Friday afternoon. The panel could rule the complaint holds no merit and dismiss it. The panel also could rule the complaint holds merit and forward it to the full commission.
Pataskala resident Margie Rogers is the treasurer for Residents Opposed to Increased School Taxes.
Her husband, Allen, is a former grounds supervisor at Heights who lost his job in a 2012 series of cost-cutting staff reductions.
When asked about the election complaint, Allen Rogers said, "That's their side of the story."
He added he has talked to some residents who did not receive the pro-levy mailing, contrary to Satterwhite's assertions. In addition, he said the board should have done more to publicize the levy, pointing to a perceived absence of newspaper articles.
"They did not broadcast it," he said.
Allen added he believes some bond issue supporters have stolen anti-tax signs from his group.
"This is the first time they've ever got any opposition, and they just can't handle it," he said.
Terry Casey, the political consultant working with Residents Opposed to Increased Taxes, dismissed Satterwhite's election complaint. Casey said the group used the flier to ask a question, not to print misleading or false statements.
"We raised the question of whether it's going to be a secret election because we want people to turn out to vote," said Casey, adding there are question marks clearly printed on the flier.
Satterwhite countered the flier violates Ohio Revised Code Section 3517.22, which pertains to the dissemination of false statements during election campaigns.
Aside from the pro-levy flier, the school board has discussed the bond issue in multiple public meetings, he said. There also have been newspaper articles on the subject, Satterwhite added.
"There is no basis to make the affirmative statement that school officials have kept this a secret or are hoping people are on vacation so they cannot vote with an exclamation point," Satterwhite wrote in the complaint. "Such statements are false and misleading and contradicted by public documents and direct representations made to anti-levy group agents."

Kiplinger's names GC to top 100 'Best College Values' among liberal arts colleges in U.S.
Goshen College has again been named one of the top 100 best college values among all liberal arts colleges by Kiplinger's Personal Finance for 2017. This year, Goshen College was ranked 85th among liberal arts colleges, placing it fourth among Indiana liberal arts colleges that combine outstanding quality with affordability.
Among all colleges and universities, GC ranked sixth in Indiana, higher than universities such as Butler University, Indiana University Bloomington and the University of Evansville.
"There's no way around it: College is expensive, and it's going to stay that way for a long time. So, with our rankings—which weigh affordability alongside academic quality—our goal is to help students and their parents understand what's really worth the price," said Janet Bodnar, editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. "While some may have ranked higher than others, all 300 schools on the list are of extraordinary value, being chosen out of a universe of 1,200."
While continuing to maintain a quality college education and strong student satisfaction, Goshen College is also an affordable option by having a lower sticker price, offering significant financial aid packages and keeping graduation debt levels down.
Goshen College costs seven percent less than the national average for private colleges.
Last year, 99 percent of all Goshen students received financial aid and the average aid package was $23,800.
Goshen College graduates' average debt is lower than the national average.

Goshen College and the other schools included in the 2017 lists represent the colleges that provide high-quality academics at a reasonable cost. The college exemplifies attributes that parents and students look for in higher education, including small class sizes, a good freshman retention rate and a high four-year graduation rate.
Kiplinger's assesses quality according to measurable standards, including the admission rate, the percentage of students who return for sophomore year, the student-faculty ratio and the four-year graduation rate.
The complete rankings are available online at kiplinger.com/links/college and will be published in the February 2017 issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance, on newsstands January 3, 2017. Web visitors will find special features, including a tool that lets readers sort by admission rate, average debt at graduation and other criteria for all schools, plus by in-state and out-of-state cost for public universities; a slide show of the top 10 schools in each category; archives of previous years' rankings, and an FAQ about the ranking methodology.

La Muette de Portici és una òpera en cinc actes de Daniel Auber, amb llibret d'Eugène Scribe i Germane Delavigne. S'estrenà a l'Académie Royale de Musique (Salle de la rue Le Peletier) el 29 de febrer de 1828.

L'obra té un important lloc en la història de la música, ja que generalment es considera la primera grand opéra francesa.

Origen i context
L'òpera està ambientada a Nàpols el 1647, en el context històric de la revolta encapçalada pel pescador Tommaso Aniello (Masaniello) contra el domini espanyol. La història ja havia estat tractada, per Michele Carafa en la seva Masaniello de 1827, entre d'altres. Scribe i Delavigne, igual que els llibretistes de l'òpera de Carafa, utilitzen les Mémoires sur la révolution de Naples de 1647 (1827) d'Esprit de Raymond de Mormoiron, tot i que els personatges de Fenella, Elvire i Alphonse i la seva interacció van ser inventats lliurement. Fenella es deriva del personatge amb aquest nom de Peveril of the Peak de Sir Walter Scott.

La música reflecteix els efectes escènics vius i imponents basats en la investigació històrica i pictòrica dels grans escenògrafs i pintors Pierre-Luc-Charles Ciceri i Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre.

Representacions
L'òpera es va representar per primera vegada a la Salle Le Peletier de l'Òpera de París el 29 de febrer de 1828. El paper de Masaniello el va interpretar el famós tenor Adolphe Nourrit i la Princesa Elvire va ser cantada per Laure Cinti-Damoreau. La ballarina Lise Noblet va interpretar el paper titular de la muda, un personatge que va ser assumit per altres ballarines com Marie Taglioni i Fanny Elssler, també l'actriu Harriet Smithson (la futura esposa d'Hector Berlioz). El director de l'estrena va ser François Antoine Habeneck.

Va ser reposada a París immediatament després de la Revolució francesa de Juliol de 1830. Més tard, en una representació d'aquesta òpera al Théâtre de la Monnaie, Brussel·les el 25 d'agost de 1830, va esclatar una revolta que va esdevenir el senyal de partida de la Revolució belga, que va portar a la independència de Bèlgica. La mística revolucionària de l'obra es va incrementar quan pels esdeveniments de 1848, diverses posades en escena de l'òpera van causar tumults i manifestacions en diversos teatres d'òpera.

L'òpera va ser un dels èxits més grans de l'Òpera de París, la representació número 100 va ser el 23 d'abril 1840, la número 500 el 14 de juny de 1880. També va ser un èxit en altres països, especialment a Alemanya (on hi va haver fins a cinc versions). De 1829 a 1898 es va dur a terme 285 vegades al Berlín Hofoper. L'obra va ser traduïda a l'alemany, hongarès, anglès, italià, txec, holandès, danès, polonès, noruec, suec, croat i rus. Es va cantar a tot Europa, i va ser la primera òpera francesa en tenir un veritable èxit a Itàlia. Va arribar a Nova York el 1831, a Sant Petersburg el 1834, a Barcelona el 1841, a Sydney el 1845 i a Rio de Janeiro el 1846.

Argument
L'òpera es basa vagament en l'alçament històric de Masaniello contra el govern espanyol a Nàpols el 1647.

Acte I
S'inicia amb les noces d'Alphonse, fill del virrei de Nàpols, amb la princesa espanyola Elvire. Alphonse, que ha seduït i abandonat a Fenella, la germana muda del pescador napolità Masaniello, està turmentat per dubtes i remordiments, tement que ella s'hagi suïcidat. Durant la festa Fenella busca protecció enfront del virrei, que l'ha mantingut empresonada durant un mes. Escapa de la presó i narra la història de la seva seducció mitjançant gestos, mostrant un mocador que el seu amant li va regalar. Elvire promet protegir-la i va a l'altar, amb Fenella intentant seguir-la en va. A la capella Fenella reconeix al seu seductor en el nuvi de la princesa. Quan els nuvis surten de l'església, Elvire presenta Fenella al seu espòs i descobreix a partir dels gestos de la muda que ell era el seu amant infidel. Fenella fuig, deixant a Alphonse i Elvire dolguts i desesperats.

Acte II
Els pescadors, que s'havien lamentat en silenci de la tirania, comencen a reunir-se. Pietro, l'amic de Masaniello, ha buscat en va a Fenella, però al final ella apareix per decisió pròpia i confessa els seus errors. Masaniello s'enfuria i jura venjar-se, però Fenella, que encara estima a Alphonse, no esmenta el seu nom. Després Masaniello incita els pescadors a agafar les armes i jurar guanyar a l'enemic del seu país.

Acte III
En el mercat de Nàpols, on la gent va i ve, venent i comprant, mentrestant oculten el seu propòsit sota una aparença de goig i despreocupació. Selva, l'oficial de la guàrdia del virrei, de qui Fenella ha escapat, la descobreix i intenta arrestar-la de nou, el que provoca que esclati la rebel·lió, en la qual el poble surt victoriós.

Acte IV
Fenella va a l'allotjament del seu germà i descriu els horrors que estan esdevenint a la ciutat. El relat omple el seu noble cor de dolor i disgust. Quan Fenella es retira a descansar, Pietro entra amb els seus camarades i intenta incitar a Masaniello a noves gestes, però ell només vol llibertat i es fa enrere davant l'assassinat i la crueltat. Li diuen que Alphonse s'ha escapat i que estan disposats a agafar-lo i matar-lo. Fenella, que els escolta, decideix salvar al seu amant. Llavors Alphonse truca a la porta i prega que li doni asil. Entra amb Elvire, i Fenella, encara que al principi està disposada a venjar-se del seu rival, la perdona pel bé d'Alphonse. Masaniello, en entrar, assegura als estranys la seva protecció i fins i tot quan Pietro posa de manifest que Alphonse és el fill del virrei, Masaniello s'até a la seva promesa sagrada. Pietro i els seus camarades conspiradors el deixen, plens d'odi i ira. Mentrestant, el magistrat de la ciutat presenta a Masaniello la corona reial i el proclama Rei de Nàpols.

Acte V
Pietro amb els altres pescadors es troben davant el palau del virrei. Confia a Moreno que ha administrat un verí a Masaniello per castigar-lo per la seva traïció, i que aviat morirà el Rei per un dia. Mentre parla, Borella entra precipitadament parlant de tropes de refresc que marxen contra el poble amb Alphonse al capdavant. Sabent que només Masaniello pot salvar-los, els pescadors li demanen que assumeixi el comandament de nou i Masaniello, encara mortalment malalt i delirant, accepta la seva proposta. Té lloc un combat, mentre el Vesuvi entra en erupció. Masaniello cau en l'acte de salvar la vida d'Elvire. En sentir aquestes terribles notícies Fenella es llança a la terrassa, des d'on es llença a l'abisme que queda sota, mentre que els nobles fugitius s'apoderen de nou de la ciutat.

Anàlisi musical
La Muette de Portici va ser innovadora en diversos sentits. Primer, va marcar la introducció del mim i el gest en l'òpera com a parts íntegres d'una trama operística (encara que aquests formats eren coneguts de l'audiència parisenca pel ballet i el melodrama). La seva ambientació històrica, les implicacions polítiques liberals, l'ús de melodies populars, el maneig de gran orquestra i cors i espectaculars efectes escènics van fer que aquesta obra destaqués de forma immediata respecte als tipus precedents d'òpera, guanyant-se més endavant el títol de la primera del gènere de la grand opéra. El nou gènere es va veure consolidat per l'obra Guillaume Tell  (Rossini, 1829) i Robert le diable (Meyerbeer, 1831).

Influències
La Muette de Portici va tenir un paper principal a l'hora d'establir el gènere de la grand opéra. Molts dels seus elements -l'estructura en cinc actes, l'obligada seqüència de ballet, l'ús d'espectaculars efectes especials, el centre en les passions romàntiques amb un teló de fons històric- es convertirien en trets típics de la forma per a la resta del . La grand opéra tindria un paper encara més important en la carrera posterior del llibretista que en la del compositor. Auber va compondre tres obres del gènere: Le Dieu et la bayadère (1830), Gustave III (1833) i Le lac des fées (1839). Però la seva fama quedaria eclipsada per les grans òperes per a les quals Scribe proporcionaria el llibret: de Meyerbeer, Robert le diable (1831) i Les Huguenots (1836) i de Halévy La Juive (1835). Malgrat tot, l'obra pionera d'Auber va cridar l'atenció del jove Richard Wagner, que estava desitjant crear una nova forma de drama musical. Aquest va assenyalar que a La Muette de Portici, "les àries i els duets en sentit estricte difícilment es detecten ja, i certament, amb l'excepció d'una sola ària de prima-donna en el primer acte, no apareix cap que es pugui anomenar així; en cada moment era un conjunt de tot l'acte el que cridava l'atenció i se t'emportava... ".

Pellegatti fears Juventus as destination for Donnarumma
April 29, 2021 - 10:30 am
Italian journalist and renowned AC Milan fan Carlo Pellegatti claims that he is suffering at present, because Gianluigi Donnarumma doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
The goalkeeper is into the final months of his current contract in Milan, and is believed to be attracting interest from clubs including Juventus.
The Old Lady could well be in line to pick up one of the best goalkeepers in the world on a free transfer, one who has the potential to stay at the top of the game for a number of years given his young age.
Pellegatti now fears that Gigio's time in Milan will be ruined by leaving to join rivals Juve this summer.
"I suffer for Gigio Donnarumma, Milan have the strongest goalkeeper in the world, I suffer because he is not loved by all Milan fans," Pellegatti admitted on his YouTube channel.
"Because we have reduced ourselves. I don't really want to think he's going to Juventus. It seems he can't go to PSG anymore. I can't let Donnarumma ruin these five years by going to Juve."
While the Italian may well be on course to 'ruin' his legacy with Milan, he would be starting and building a brand new legacy with Juventus.
Donnarumma will know that he has the potential to take over the reigns from Gigi Buffon, a goalkeeper ranked amongst the best in the world ever, and what goalkeeper out there wouldn't want the chance to relive the life of Gigi?

Q: Outlook 2013 user agent I've been trying to understand the user agent string sent by Outlook 2013 when you set a URL to be a folder home page.
Here's an example with unrelated stuff removed for clarity:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; Microsoft Outlook 15.0.4420)

I was doing some tests with the F12 tools in IE and I can't get it to duplicate the same results. For example, I can get it to send MSIE 7.0, but it doesn't send the Trident/*.0 string at all unless I set it back to IE10 standards mode.
Is this saying that they are using Trident 6 in IE 7 compatibility mode?
Is Outlook just using whatever version of Trident it finds on the machine, or does it have it's own version?
What feature support can I expect from this combination?

Ok, we discussed this ib_dereg_mr() call at the plugfest last week.

Not needed, for the same reason above.

Woke up at 9:00 A.M. Went skiing in the bay next to Talaga which had many and was rough. Returned at 1:30 P.M. Mass, lunch rest and meditation at 3:30 P.M.
Visited the beach house at 5:00 P.M.
Am reading "The Revolution and the Civil War in Spain" by Pierre Broue and Emile Temime.
That a civil war followed the Generals Revolution was due to the strong communist organization supported by the socialists who proudly joined up with them –and the support of Rivera of the Republicans –although Franco's Falangists or "Nationalists" were supported by Germany and Italy.
The book marks out how much against their [illegible] the Communists by their predelection to violence created the need for the "Generals Revolution" and again contributed the final opposition to the Revolution.
This should be a lesson to us.
1. That I had written a Political Testament which I directed them to follow, indicating the successor to me in case of my death or disability; that this was necessary in view of the fact that even now there was rivalry among various leaders; that it was necessary to continue our policies even if I should not be capable or around to lead, otherwise our constitutional revolution would ultimately fail; that even Alexander's empire had broken up because he had merely said, "To the strongest belongs his empire"; and that I assessed the various personalities aspiring for leadership.
The government plan is to concentrate forces (actually 5 to 7 battalions) in each province in the order of priority and liquidate the rebellion in that order.
In the meantime we should not be lured to fight a war of attrition or to send out small patrols as we did in Luzon.
Even Sulu has to wait. For the order of priority is 1. Cotabato 2. Basilan 3. Zamboanga Sur if it has deteriorated 4. Sulu.
In the meantime, our forces in Sulu must contain the enemy and keep it occupied or off-balance.
The three battalions now in Basilan should be sufficient to finish the campaign there.
I have noticed a tendency of the officers and men to utilize the tactics they learned in Luzon almost invariably even when meeting a massed enemy in a set-piece conventional situation. This has resulted in casualties if not total liquidation of small squad-strength units.
warnings specially to PC Chief, Gen. Ramos.
He called a command conference.
Example: Extortion by PC in Surigao Sur of Georgia Pacific. Thus the CG of Metrocom, Gen. Alfredo Montoya, is reported openly and publicly embracing and kissing an Australian blonde in the golf links of Wack Wack while his security was running beside his golf cart where he and his lady love were riding and a helicopter above came to a landing, thereby publicly calling attention to the indiscretion. This was supposed to have taken place a month ago and was confirmed by Bert Sabido, an eyewitness, and Mentong Disini.
3. The critique of the Mindanao, Sulu operations. It involves a change from small unit deep penetration operations to larger unit employment and Inter services coordination specially air and navy.
We should allow the rebels to continue the mistake of trying to hold ground thus lose their mobility.
The rebels should be lured to fight a conventional war and concentrate forces so they can be hit by all services as a profitable target.
Credentials presentation of Ambassador of Portugal.
Courtesy call of Mr. and Mrs. Wrigley.
Briefing on the GMTFM by DBP and cooperatives.
Housing for officers in Fort Bonifacio.
Areas in Science and Research that should be emphasized –Gen. Medina– including nuclear power plant, milk from coconut simpler process of metal extraction, Forest Products research, typhoon moderation etc.
Convention of Judges and Fiscals –The constitutional revolution.
Then report of Gen. Ramos. I ordered all out force against the rebels before negotiations. Two PC & more units.
Tonight we previewed the PAL five screen presentation of the Philippines –and NBC's Jack Reynolds film on the Tasadays after badmington.
We are now watching the development of opposition among the clergy, possibly the nuns the Free Farmers Federation and the Christian Socialist Movement.
So the opening of the schools in the high school and college levels have to be postponed. For there would be an opportunity to congregate and prepare for demonstrations.
But we must not arrest any of the bishops, although we must be firm in stopping any subversion that may crop up.
I have agreed to appear in the Meet the Press show of Larry Spivak on Oct. 8, 1972 at 12:30 AM New York time which will be about midnight Sunday here.
The Durdin story in the New York Times of the inrerview of Sec. Ponce Enrile, Gens.
Espino and Ramos to the effect that the military has not taken over but will continue to obey the civil authority; that the people are surrendering their guns, there is peace and order and they are supporting the president to a man because they are obeying the constitution.
And Lee Lescaze of the Washington Post has reversed himself and sent in a story that if a vote were taken today, an overwhelming majority of the Filipino people would support me in my decision proclaiming martial law.
The support from all quarters continues and I meet the Sulu Moslem leaders who have indicated support, tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
I met the Think Tank for the first time today –Ting Paterno, Armand Fabella, Gerry Sicat, Naring Orosa, Bobby Benedicto, Leo Virata, Adrian Cristobal etc.
I attach the list of specific programs. Although we should postpone Nos. 1 and 2.
Signed the Oil Exploration (Service Contract) Decree, and the reduction of the Stock Transfer Tax of 2% to 1/4%.
And I ordered the study of the suspension of the capital gains tax if the gains are invested in productive enterprise or deposited in a bank.
The realignment of banks and insurance companies must follow.

Q: custom attribute for string property i have a question.
I would like to do something like that:
[PutStars]
public string telephone

where PutStars could be a custom attribute for example.
PutStars acts on the string, so it replace telephone value [333-123456789] and when getting value, it retrieves for example [333-12xxxx789].
Is it possible?
Thanks a lot!

A: Well, you can implement a helper method and call it when getting the value:
private string _tel;
public string Tel
{
  set{ _tel = value; }
  get {
    return _tel.PutStars();
  }
}

public static string PutStars(this string str)
{
 return str.Replace("1", "*");
}

Alternatively when you get the string you can do:
var starred = myObj.Tel.PutStars();

A: The closest you'll get to that inbuilt will probably be [PasswordPropertyText], but a: that is intended to mask an entire field, and b: it depends entirely on the UI framework you are using looking for this attribute; nothing is automatic in attributes. Your best bet, frankly, is probably to add a second property that you use for UI binding:
public string Telephone {get;set;}

public string TelephoneMasked {
    get { /* your code here */ }
}

and bind to TelephoneMasked.

Cokie Roberts, lifelong Catholic and journalist, dies at age 75
By Carol Zimmermann, Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) –Cokie Roberts, a broadcast journalist and political commentator who spoke publicly about her Catholic faith and her admiration for the Sacred Heart sisters who taught her, died Sept. 17 due to complications from breast cancer. She was 75.
Roberts, who died at her home in Bethesda, Maryland, was an Emmy award-winning reporter, author and frequent keynote speaker at Catholic college graduations. She was described as "a true pioneer for women in journalism," by James Goldston, president of ABC News, her longtime employer. He said her "kindness, generosity, sharp intellect and thoughtful take on the big issues of the day made ABC a better place and all of us better journalists."
She was inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame and was listed one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting by the American Women in Radio and Television. She also was named a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress in 2008.
Roberts started her radio career at CBS and in 1978 began working for NPR covering Capitol Hill, where she continued to work as a political commentator until her death. Roberts joined ABC News in 1988 and, during her three decades there, she was a political commentator, chief congressional analyst and co-anchor with Sam Donaldson of the news program "This Week" from 1996 to 2002.
She was born in New Orleans in 1943 with the full name Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs and was nicknamed "Cokie" by her brother.
Roberts attended Catholic schools in New Orleans and Bethesda, run by the sisters of the Society of the Sacred Heart. During her career, she also wrote eight books, including a book with her husband, Steve Roberts, also a journalist, called "From This Day Forward'' about their interfaith marriage. Steve is Jewish.
Lindy's daughter
Cokie Roberts' roots are both political and Catholic. She is the daughter of Hale Boggs, the former Democratic House majority leader and representative from New Orleans, who died in a plane crash in 1972. Her mother, Lindy, was elected to fill his seat and served nine terms. Lindy Boggs, who died in 2013, was appointed U.S. ambassador to the Vatican in 1997, a post she held until 2001.
Over the years, Roberts addressed big Catholic gatherings including those of the National Catholic Educational Association, Catholic Charities USA and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.
In a 2014 interview with America magazine by Mercy Sister Mary Ann Walsh, who died the following year, Roberts said: "There is no way to talk about my faith absent the Society of the Sacred Heart. The women who were my teachers and remain my dear friends mean the world to me. They took girls seriously in the 1950s – a radical notion, so there was never any 'grown-up' need to reject them, only to thank them – and they keep the faith."
When asked about her family's Catholic and Democratic background, Roberts said it's "an interesting balancing act in all kinds of ways to try to convince people that I am a fair-minded journalistic observer while coming from a family that has been strongly identified for many decades both politically and religiously."
She said she also had made clear her "continuing commitment to Catholicism – as opposed to many who say, 'I was raised Catholic.'" She said she didn't think she had been "discriminated against officially" as a Catholic woman, but she also answered the question about this with her own question: "Are there people in this society still who think that to be a believer is to be a little bit simpleminded? Sure. And to be a Catholic, still a little simpler still? Yes," she said.
During a 2009 LCWR meeting in New Orleans, she told the sisters that their vitality extends beyond their numbers and can best be seen in the lasting effects they have had on students and others they are serving.
"You wonderful, holy, awe-inspiring women – you women of spirit – have taught us well. Your teaching will go on, constantly creating a better world for the people of God, corralling the chaos to create a better quality of life for others that you can be proud of."
Roberts is survived by her husband, her children, Lee and Rebecca, and her six grandchildren.

Having a house of your own is one of the best things that you can have in this life. Being a homeowner though means that people are responsible for whatever happens in their house. That is why you should make sure that your house always looks as good as it possibly can. Everybody today should look at their house and try to find some ways that they can make it even better than it already is. When people do this, one thing that is quite common to find is that the paint in their house is no longer very good already. When you want this, what you should do is to get residential painting services right away. The reason why this is the best thing that everyone can go for is because there are plenty of benefits that they can enjoy when they do this.
People that go and get residential painting services can be sure that their house is going to be painted in the best way possible. Today, there are a lot of people that believe that painting is a very easy job to do, especially when they see people doing it. However, when you actually give it a try, you will find that this is not the case. Everybody that does this is likely to end up with darker shades in some areas. Another common problem when people do their own painting is paint spills, which can be a headache to deal with. This is why everyone that tries to do their own painting is likely to end up with a pretty ugly looking paint job in their house. This is why instead of doing their own painting, what people should do is to hire the professionals. People that do this will find that their house is going to be painted in the best possible way indeed when they do this. You may find more information now.

Go and hire the professionals instead so that you can save up quite a lot of time to do other things.
People who get residential painting services will find that there are a lot of other advantages that comes along with it. That is why if people see their house needs painting, they should get these services immediately. You may click here now.


I've blogged before on the topic of 3-Act Math Tasks, but I wanted to share some great resources that feature a host of 3 Acts that you can use and resources to help you use them more effectively in the classroom!
First of all, let's review. The biggest thing that 3 Acts Math Tasks accomplish is helping students exercise metacognition (thinking about thinking) as they work through the different acts. 3-Act Math Tasks are a great way to implement the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice! Beginning with the posing of a mathematical problem in the first act, either in an image or a video, in the second act, the students then explore the problem while you answer questions that arise from their exploration. The third act is the grand reveal of the answer and an opportunity for whole group instruction.
A previous blog post on 3 Acts Math Storytelling that goes into more depth, complete with videos!
Dan Meyer's blog on the Three Acts of a Mathematical Story.
A recent Math Mania Monday video archive that demonstrates a 3 Act Math Task in action.
Free resources in our store, including guidelines for 3 Act Math Tasks and two recording booklets for various grades.
Originally, 3 Act Math Tasks were developed for middle/high school students. But that doesn't mean that you can't use them in K-5! Here are some pictures that show how you can work through a 3 Act Math Task on chart paper in a K-1 classroom.
Once you're ready, check out these great websites that have feature 3 Act Math Tasks you can use in your classroom!
Dan Meyer's resources (http://blog.mrmeyer.com/ – click on Three-Act Math) are geared more for middle/high school age students.
Graham Fletcher (https://gfletchy.com/3-act-lessons/) features tasks more appropriate for elementary students (K-5).
Get your students involved in the creation process. Have students in grades 3-8 create their own 3 Act Math Tasks for other students to solve. Be sure to share them with us! If we get enough submissions of student-created tasks, we will feature them on the blog!
8 Standards for Mathematical Practice: Pop Quiz!
The 8 Standards for Mathematical Practices are what I feel is the biggest shift in history in how we teach math. We are not simply putting a new name on the old way of doing business in math education, but instead we are actually changing to a new method of educating students in mathematics.

This week we spoke with Carmen Aguirre, writer and co-writer of twenty plays, including Chile Con Carne, The Trigger, and The Refugee Hotel. Her first book, a memoir entitled Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter won CBC Canada Reads 2012 and was the #1 national bestseller for five months this year. She is currently touring her one-woman show Blue Box.
Nothing at all. I like asking questions at parties and getting to know people. I find talking about myself extremely boring. Listening is super exciting to me.
2666 by Roberto Bolano and The Chavez Code by Eva Golinger.
I'm a technophobe so I don't know what a bookmark is. But I like watching the news channels teleSUR (out of Venezuela), Press TV (out of Iran), and Democracy Now! (out of the States) on my computer.
I was a toddler and went to the circus. I knew I'd found my calling.
The Pinochet dictatorship's marketing was outstandingly disturbing, smart, all-encompassing, and effective. The poster of Pinochet in his grey cape staring straight into the camera that papered seemingly every wall in Chile stands out in my mind. Definitely.
At the moment, the student movement in Chile inspires me. Anybody who has the courage to stand up for their rights and risk their lives doing it inspires me. The artists who inspire me are the ones are willing to risk themselves and their art. In the Canadian playwriting arena that would be Marie Clements (Burning Vision, The Unnatural and Accidental Women), Darren O'Donnell (A Suicide-Site Guide to the City, White Mice), Michel Marc Bouchard (The Tale of Teeka), and Colleen Murphy (The December Man).
Vancouver audiences can watch Carmen Aguirre take some risks of her own, as she takes the stage for the opening night performance of Elbow Theatre's White Rabbit, Red Rabbit at the Cultch tomorrow (Sept. 19) evening.
As she walks on stage she will be handed a sealed envelope containing Nassim Soleimanpour's script. Without any prior rehearsal or knowledge of what lies ahead, she will cold-read and perform the arresting and provocative work.
