Partnership between Queen's and H'art School helps students reach their potential
Katrina Geenevasen
May 09, 2013 • May 9, 2013 • 2 minute read
At 46-years-old, Lori Allum has achieved a Certificate of Learning from Queen's University.
She's one of several students who are part of a unique partnership between the Faculty of Education at Queen's and the H'art School of Smiles, which helps adults with intellectual disabilities reach their highest potential through education and the arts.
H'art students may work for years to get ready to take part in the Inclusive Post-Secondary Education Initiative at Queen's. If they're successful, they are matched, according to their interest and abilities, with a variety of classes on campus including science, technology, drama, philosophy and health.
Once enrolled in the program, H'art students work alongside Queen's students towards a certificate reflecting their class participation. For even more support on campus, the H'art students are paired with a "buddy" from the Social Transition and Education Program, which helps them integrate into the Queen's community.
"The students that come here feel a part of Queen's University and our students enjoy working with them," said Steven Elliot, dean of the Faculty of Education at Queen's University in a press release. "It's a tremendous opportunity for the H'art students to learn in a university setting and our students also learn a lot from them in return."
This year, two H'art students are graduating from the IPSE program. As one of those students, Allum couldn't conceal her happiness.
"It makes me excited because I proved something to myself," said Allum. "I learned how to behave in class. It makes me proud that I could do everything the professor asked."
During her time at Queen's, Allum mastered the art of using the computer.
"The last program I was in was computers and I learned a lot," she said. "I didn't know how to use computer. Now I can email people."
Toni Thorton wears many hats at H'art School as a teacher, media arts and adaptive technology director and inclusive post-secondary education coordinator. She said although the program does not result in a diploma in the typical way, it's about lifelong learning, instead. The goal is to stimulate socially, academically and cognitively for a lifetime.
"We believe that everyone should have opportunities beyond high school to continue to learn," said Thornton. "Studies show that the more cognitively you are engaged in the world around you and the more that you stimulate yourself intellectually, the less you age."
She said she is proud of Allum and all that she's accomplished.
"She has done a lot of interesting learning on campus, it's not content or subject-specific that's really enriched her life, it's just that sense that she can do it, can listen to a lecture and come away with something and come back here and talk to us about philosophy. It's an empowering experience; it makes her feel like she's able."
"Lori is so capable," continued Thornton. "People with disabilities, their abilities are overlooked, and she is very smart, she is literate, she's able to read the newspapers and comprehend what she reads, she asks intelligent questions, she uses technology with incredible competence and I think without opportunities like this, those abilities get overlooked."
"The fact that she has discovered those capacities in herself and grown her confidence, that makes me proud of her," said Thornton.

'I spent £40 on an album I already own'
By Esyllt Carr Business reporter, BBC News
Image copyright Jeffrey Ingold
Image caption Jeffrey Ingold has spent thousands of pounds on his idol's music
"New Mariah Carey music - that's always a reason to get me out spending money!" says Jeffrey Ingold, who reckons he has spent about £8,000 on the singer's music over his lifetime - including going to international concerts.
While he may already own her classic Merry Christmas album from 1994, that certainly hasn't stopped him buying the latest version, reissued a few weeks ago for the 25th anniversary.
"It includes recordings which I've never heard before," he says. "So to have the chance to be transported back and hear vintage Mariah is worth every penny."
As well as downloading the album on Spotify, Jeffrey pre-ordered the CD and vinyl versions, spending a total of £40. "If you're a true fan - or in Mariah's world, lamb - it's always worth it."
It's this kind of devotion that record companies rely on, as more and more bands decide to relaunch their biggest hits.
This year has also seen the release of "deluxe" and anniversary editions of classic albums by REM, Prince, Suede, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Jethro Tull - and of course, the Beatles.
After similar success with reissues of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The White album, the 50th anniversary edition of Abbey Road went to number one in October,
In the process, it set a new UK chart record as the album with the longest gap between official chart-topping stints, at 49 years and 252 days.
Milestones in rock
Gennaro Castaldo from the British Phonographic Industry, which represents the UK music business, says the trend could just be down to timing.
"Lots of 'classic' albums that came out in the 60s and 70s, and even the 80s and 90s, are now beginning to hit significant anniversaries," he told the BBC.
"There is a significant group of music enthusiasts that are passionate about owning and collecting vinyl and CDs - and particularly limited edition and deluxe collections."
At a time when streaming has become by far the most popular way of listening to music, the re-release of albums is focused on boosting physical sales.
Exclusive artwork, hardback books, DVDs and coloured vinyl are all designed to appeal to those fans who still like to own a copy of their favourite music.
Image caption Pink Floyd are among the acts releasing multi-disc deluxe album sets
Abbey Road was a case in point. According to the Official Chart Company, in the week of its release, it sold 34,500 copies, 90% of those being physical sales. It was the best-selling vinyl release of the week too, with 9,000 sales on vinyl alone.
"The vinyl revival has definitely made a difference," says Paul Sinclair, who runs superdeluxeedition.com, a website specialising in reissues.
He explains that while some cost little more than any other new record, deluxe and now super-deluxe special editions can cost hundreds of pounds.
Pink Floyd's The Later Years - an 18-disc box set just released - was available to pre-order on the band's website for £399.
But Mr Sinclair says "no-one batted an eyelid" when a similar price tag was attached to their Early Years box set back in 2016, with plenty of music lovers willing to pay for the added extras, "especially when it comes to a band like Pink Floyd."
Limited appeal
So how much of it is about music and how much about money? David Ambrose, who worked at EMI and MCA and now tutors at City University, says reissues are an "easy win" for record companies.
He says that while an artist can expect royalties of between 14% and 16% for an original release, it drops to about 4% on a reissue. Plus labels don't have to stump up the costs of a tour, a video or any promotion. So the margins are much higher.
"Sales are limited, however - it probably isn't going to appeal beyond a pure, established fanbase," says Mr Ambrose.
But for those still making music, superdeluxeedition.com's Mr Sinclair points out it can also be a clever marketing trick: "These reissues tend to be surrounded by a wave of love and it never hurts to remind people you were once brilliant when you've got new music to promote."
Image caption The Eagles are still a big box-office draw
But some argue that this retreat to nostalgia points to a wider issue in the music industry - the fact that there is, for many people, too much choice.
"When we are faced with such abundance, we need help to make decisions. It is for this reason, along with others, that reissues and the growth of heritage acts have emerged as such a central business model," says Dr George Musgrave, a researcher at the University of Westminster.
Dr Musgrave says that rather than helping smaller bands break through, the sheer amount of music on offer actually ends up benefiting established artists. "According to Forbes 2019, the band making the most money isn't a new act - it is the Eagles!" he adds.
So how did Mariah Carey's re-release of Merry Christmas perform this time around? Not spectacularly: it peaked at 95 in the UK album chart.
Victoria Kenny, another fan who bought the album, says this one was worth adding to her collection - but she's wary of being taken for a ride.
"Some classic 80s albums seem to get reissued over and over again and it feels like they're just milking fans with the same content in a different coloured box." she says.
However, Jeffrey Ingold thinks there is always more to be heard from his favourite artist - even if it's more of the same.
"There will come a time when Mariah is no longer releasing music, or not as frequently," he says.
"So for however long she continues to put out material - new or old - I'll be there."
Music streaming market 'needs more choice'
Is the greatest hits album dead?

FORREST GUMP 25th Anniversary- National Mall screening, newly remastered Blu-ray and film in select theaters
In 1994 moviegoers met a man named Forrest Gump whose story was both a deeply personal and affecting odyssey and a universal meditation on our times. Hailed as "magical" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) and filled with "startling grace" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), FORREST GUMP became not only a global blockbuster, but a true cultural touchstone.
25 years later, FORREST GUMP remains a treasured cinematic classic that is beloved and quoted the world over. Tom Hanks gives an astonishing performance as Forrest, an everyman whose simple innocence comes to embody a generation. Alongside his mamma (Sally Field), his best friend Bubba (Mykelti Williamson), his commanding officer Lieutenant Dan (Gary Sinise), and his favorite girl Jenny (Robin Wright), Forrest has a ringside seat for the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis and written for the screen by Eric Roth (based on the novel by Winston Groom), FORREST GUMP won six Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Tom Hanks), Best Writing, Best Film Editing and Best Visual Effects.

New animated comedy series "Hell Den" debuted Friday, May 10
Hell Den is an animated series that mixes original animation and re-dubbed cartoons in a deliciously warped and hilarious brew of social satire, musical parody, and good ol' fashioned absurdist humor. Hell Den is a new take on old cartoons with commentary by an odd group of world-obliterating drinking buddies, one 12 year old kid, and fun guest voices. Take a shot of Robot Chicken, add a splash of Beavis and Butthead, and finish it off with a healthy pour of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and you've got Hell Den.
The six episode-series takes place after an Uber-Apocalypse wipes out civilization where one kid miraculously survives: 12 year-old Andrew. His house still has electricity, a working television, a VCR, and his deceased parent's fully stocked bar which draws a few curious apocalypse-creators to his door. There's Kenneth, the moody Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse; BET-C, a sympathetic but volatile mutant cyborg; Fleek, a sleazy alcoholic alien; and Giantic, a ponderous giant. Together, they break into the liquor cabinet and join Andrew to watch twisted cartoons… because destroying the world is hard work.

"THE HARDER THEY COME COLLECTOR'S EDITION" RESTORED & BOWING ON BLU AUGUST 20 FROM SHOUT SELECT
A beautifully restored version of The Harder They Come, starring reggae icon Jimmy Cliff, will be released August 20th in a 3-disc Collector's Edition set by Shout Select, under license from the film's longtime distributor, Xenon Pictures. The release marks the film's debut on Blu-ray™ in the U.S., and featuring a new transfer from the original 16mm negative, the film has never been seen by the public in this way.
Also included is the first-ever home entertainment release of Perry Henzell's long lost follow up feature, No Place Like Home, which had gone unfinished and was thought to have been lost, as well as Perry Henzell: A Filmmaker's Odyssey, a new documentary about its genesis and restoration. The Harder They Come [Collector's Edition] will also include a full slate of new bonus features, shot in Jamaica, to be announced at a later date.
Jimmy Cliff stars as Ivan Martin in 1972's The Harder They Come, the first feature film to come out of Jamaica. An aspiring singer who leaves his rural village for the big city of Kingston, Ivan is hoping to make a name for himself. Robbed of his money and possessions on his first day in town, he finds work with a self-righteous preacher and an unscrupulous music mogul who exploits young hopefuls. In desperation, the simple country boy turns outlaw, at war with both the police and his rivals in the ganja trade. Ivan's dream of stardom soon becomes a reality as he rises to the top of both the pop charts … and the most-wanted lists. Directed and produced by Jamaican Perry Henzell, and written by Henzell and Trevor D. Rhone, The Harder They Come also stars Janet Bartley, Carl Bradshaw, and Toots and The Maytals.
The Harder They Come [Collector's Edition] also includes the first release of the rarely seen but much discussed film No Place Like Home, also directed by Henzell in the 1970's. The film follows Susan, a producer from New York, visiting Jamaica to shoot a shampoo commercial. When the commercial's actress disappears, Susan finds herself venturing further into the island, and drifting further from her real life. Starring Susan O'Meara, Countryman, Carl Bradshaw, and PJ Soles, in her debut film role, the 1973 film went unfinished, and was thought lost for 30 years. No Place Like Home also heralded the first time Jamaican singer Grace Jones was put on film. Henzell was able to lay out his thoughts for finishing the film prior to his death in 2006 and the film was shown as a work in progress at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. Accompanying the Blu-ray™ release is Perry Henzell: A Filmmaker's Odyssey, a new documentary about the creation, restoration, and history of that film.
The Harder They Come and its soundtrack, a quintessential album for music fans, have been credited for bringing reggae to the United States when they dropped in 1973, along with The Wailers Catch A Fire, released in the States that same year. 46 years later its impact on the world can still be felt, and the film, and its follow up, can finally be viewed as they were meant to be.
Moviefone Announces the First Season of "The Ms. Moviefone Show"
Moviefone™, the iconic media, news, and entertainment information service owned by Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (HMNY), announced the first season of THE MS. MOVIEFONE SHOW, a 16-episode interview series executive produced and hosted by Grae Drake (AKA Ms. Moviefone).
Every week this summer, THE MS. MOVIEFONE SHOW will cover the hottest releases and the biggest stars, celebrating all things movie related in an interview show where NO ONE behaves, and EVERYONE has fun.
THE MS. MOVIEFONE SHOW isn't just another interview show. Each episode will match the style of the film it covers, which might mean a seedy detective film noir set for one episode, and then an action-packed stunt sequence may introduce the next episode. The series will be produced both in-studio in Los Angeles and at remote locations from around the globe, as far away as Tokyo and London. And of course, the series will feature Drake's unique and award-winning interviewing style.
THE MS. MOVIEFONE SHOW kicks off the summer movie season on May 10th, with Ms. Moviefone's unique take on Pokémon Detective Pikachu, featuring her interview with star Ryan Reynolds. On May 17th, Drake fearlessly takes on John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum stars Keanu Reeves and Halle Berry. Fans will be able to watch the series on Moviefone.com, as well as Moviefone's YouTube and Facebook channels.
The introduction of THE MS. MOVIEFONE SHOW expands Moviefone's lineup of original video series, which includes the long-running and phenomenally popular UNSCRIPTED series. The new video series will help fans form a deeper bond with Ms. Moviefone, and have a more engaging experience with the Moviefone brand.
"Without a doubt, the best way to celebrate a big summer blockbuster like Pokémon Detective Pikachu is for me to dress up like a private investigator and interview Ryan Reynolds," said host Grae Drake, AKA Ms. Moviefone. "After that, I host an episode in space to talk to the Dark Phoenix cast, and I do my own stunts, even pretending to snap a guy's neck while interviewing the cast of John Wick: Chapter 3."
"The Ms. Moviefone Show is the latest example of how Moviefone is evolving to grow our brand recognition and deepen our relationship with the moviegoing audience," said Ted Farnsworth, Chairman and CEO of Helios and Matheson Analytics. "We have big plans this year for the entire MoviePass ecosystem, which also includes MoviePass Films and MoviePass Ventures," he continued. "The launch of this show, featuring Grae Drake's unique talent, is just the beginning."
Drake came to Moviefone in March of this year, and the experienced film journalist, host and interviewer wasted no time developing and launching this new series. While hosting THE MS. MOVIEFONE SHOW, Drake will continue to offer the expert analysis and insight that makes her a valued guest at a variety of outlets, including NBC's Today Show and ABC's 20/20 and World News Tonight. She is also the recipient of the 2017 Press Award from the International Cinematographers Guild.
'The Ernie Kovacs Record' gets centennial edition reissue on July 5th via Omnivore Recordings.
The centennial birthday celebration of television's original genius, Ernie Kovacs, continues with Omnivore Recordings' announcement that the comedian's long-out-of-print Grammy-nominated 1977 album, The Ernie Kovacs Record, is set for reissue July 5, 2019.
The Ernie Kovacs Record Centennial Edition has been completely remastered from the original sources and will be reissued on CD and digital formats for the first time ever. The new collection has been expanded to include six bonus tracks, expanded liner notes from television critic Diane Werts, never-before-seen photos, and will feature the original album artwork.
Licensed from Ediad Productions in conjunction with the Ernie Kovacs estate, Omnivore Recordings' The Ernie Kovacs Record Centennial Edition is the fourth audio project collaboration together. Each track on the album was taken from more than 120 hours of audio-only material recently found in the Ernie Kovacs archive and the bonus tracks have not been heard since originally broadcast on radio or television.
The Kovacs Centennial celebration continues throughout the year with upcoming live events:
An Evening With Changemaker Ernie Kovacs at the Library of Congress in Culpeper, Va., May 10.
A Special Tribute Commemorating the Centennial of Ernie Kovacs' Birthday at the New Jersey State Museum Auditorium in Kovacs' hometown of Trenton,May 22.
The Ernie Kovacs Centennial Exhibit at the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, N.Y., opening August 7 as part of the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.
Additional events will be announced shortly.
Kovacs was a pioneer in early television whose inventive use of the medium inspired countless performers, directors, and video artists. The creator of a distinctly modern form of comedy that playfully subverted the television medium, he was an influential figure for many late-night entertainers, from Steve Allen and Johnny Carson to David Letterman and Conan O'Brien. His work has been cited appreciatively by Martin Scorsese, Harold Prince, Matt Groening (The Simpsons), Robert Smigel (Saturday TV Funhouse, Triumph: The Insult Comic Dog), Joel Hodgson (Mystery Science Theater 3000), Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman), Andrea Martin (SCTV), Terry Gilliam (Monty Python), and author Jonathan Lethem, among others.
Edie Adams was Kovacs' on-screen partner as well as his wife. After his death in 1962 Adams was instrumental in not only saving but also preserving Kovacs' body of work. She bought all existing Kovacs materials — including the masters that the television networks were planning to destroy due to financial and storage issues.
An Ernie Kovacs coffee-table book of rarely (if ever) seen writings, drawings and photographs from his archive will be released in 2020 by Fantagraphics Books.

The Shining is getting a 4K Ultra HD release this Fall!
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment announced today that The Shining, Stanley Kubrick's terrifying 1980 horror masterpiece, will be released on Ultra HD Blu-ray and Digital on October 1. The 4K remastering is of Kubrick's original 144 minute version of the film which premiered in the United States on May 23rd, 1980.
Now widely regarded as one of the greatest horror films ever made, The Shining was directed and produced by Kubrick, who wrote the screenplay with Diane Johnson. The film was based on the novel "The Shining" by Stephen King, and stars Jack Nicholson in an iconic role as Jack Torrance, Shelley Duval as Wendy Torrance, Scatman Crothers as Dick Halloran, and Danny Lloyd as Danny Torrance.
The 4K remastering was done using a new 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick's former personal assistant Leon Vitali worked closely with the team at Warner Bros. during the mastering process.
On May 17th, the restored 4K version of the film will be screened at The Cannes Film Festival.
In 2018, The Shining was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The film ranked 29th on AFI's 100 Years…100 Thrills list, and Jack Torrance was named the 25th greatest villain on the AFI's 100 Years…100 Heroes and Villains list.

LATEST: Staff shortages are causing disruptions for Tipperary rail commuters
Disruptions may last over the next few days
Shannon Sweeney
shannon.sweeney@iconicnews.ie
Staff availability is causing disruptions for commuters on the Ballybrophy-Limerick rail line.
Over the past few days, several services have been substituted for buses.
Today, Iarnrod Eireann has announced on Twitter changes to some routes for Friday and Saturday.
Corporate Communications Manager at Iarnrod Eireann Barry Kenny said yesterday this is a short term issue, and they hope to resolve it in the next few days.
"As stated on our Twitter timeline, this is due to current COVID-19 levels and close contact public health compliance, which are affecting staff availability. It is a short-term issue, and we are working to ensure as many services as possible operate," said Mr Kenny.
Ryan O'Meara from the North Tipperary Community Rail Partnership said the disruptions are disappointing.
"We are disappointed to see further closures on the line, and while we accept that staff shortages can be an issue as a result of Covid-19, it is disappointing to see that the Ballybrophy line is always first to receive replacement bus services," said Mr O'Meara.
He also said it does cause technical issues for commuters when booking the bus replacements, which he said has been communicated to Iarnrod Eireann.
The North Tipperary Community Partnership says Iarnrod Eireann needs to improve its communications with commuters.
"We need to see continuity and reliability of services if we are going to attract more people to use the line more often.
"When Iarnród Éireann does not communicate this message properly, it damages the commuters' experience, and this does nothing to help in getting more people on board.
"When this does happen, and it really shouldn't as the issue should be resolved by now, we find that Iarnród Éireann is not communicating this message, or indeed their staff have not been informed of these issues.
It is our strongly held view that these communications need to be seriously improved upon," said Mr O'Meara.
North Tipperary Community Rail Partnership are a community group that lobbies for improvements to the Ballybrophy rail route in North Tipperary.
They provide updates regularly on their Twitter page about changes to rail routes and improvement works.
The arrangements for commuters using the Limerick/Ballybrophy train for the next two days are as follows.
The 6:30am route from Limerick to Ballybrophy will go to Nenagh only, with buses provided to Roscrea and Ballybrophy.
A second bus will operate from Nenagh to Cloughjordan and Roscrea.
The 10:08am Ballybrophy to Limerick services will go ahead by bus with transfers from Ballybrophy to Roscrea, Nenagh, Birdhill, Castleconnell and Limerick.
A second bus will go from Roscrea to Cloughjordan and Nenagh.
On Saturday, the 4:55pm Limerick to Ballybrophy train will be substituted for buses.
Buses will operate from Limerick to Castleconnell, Birdhill, Nenagh, Roscrea and Ballybrophy.
A second bus will go from Nenagh to Cloughjordan and Roscrea.
The 7:05pm service will also be by bus.
Bus transfers will operate from Ballybrophy to Roscrea, Nenagh, Birdhill, Castleconnell and Limerick with a second bus from Roscrea to Cloughjordan and Nenagh.
Earlier this week, four services were affected over Tuesday and Wednesday.

New Zealand accepts vaccines should go to coronavirus hot spots first
The entire population of New Zealand will be offered vaccination from the second half of 2021. PHOTO: REUTERS
https://str.sg/JzkY
WELLINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - New Zealand wants access to Covid-19 vaccines as soon as possible but accepts that other nations where the death toll is rising have a higher priority, Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson said.
"We're doing every single thing that is possible to get the vaccines here as soon as we can, but I don't think it will be a surprise to anybody that countries where there are literally thousands of people dying every day, that those are countries where the vaccines are going out right now," Robertson told NewstalkZB Wednesday (Jan 13).
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced mid-December that the entire population of five million would be offered vaccination from the second half of 2021 after the government signed contracts with four drug companies. Political opponents have raised questions about the risk of waiting another six months amid a global resurgence of the virus and the emergence of variants that are more transmissible.
Robertson denied that New Zealand, which has eliminated the virus from its community and recorded just 25 deaths, was being polite and waiting on the sidelines.
"I wouldn't describe it as polite, I'd just describe it as real," he said. "We've got a situation in the UK and the US where they are really struggling at the moment with tragic levels of deaths. That's where the vaccine is rolling out first."
New Zealand has got its orders in, but there are likely to be some delays given the global scale of the rollout, Robertson said.
"I can assure New Zealanders we've got those contracts signed, we will be getting the vaccines here," he said. "We're doing everything we can to get it out the door as soon as possible."

Right now the weather is off and on with warn and not so warm weather and not quite summertime here yet and I know they like warm weather. My soil is raised bed garden soil and what was recommended and has quite a bit of stuff in it (pic of ingredients uploaded).
I believe it's maybe mostly weather related due to not having constant warm summertime weather yet, I may have jumped the gun a bit by planting early but you live and learn.
Hi there I'm semi-new to gardening myself.
For what it is worth, my first thought was that yours looked good.
I remember the first time I ever grew cucumbers I got scared when they toppled over!
Then they began crawling on the ground with vines and everything was illuminated. I thought it was funny I thought the cucumbers falling over was a bad thing at first, hah! It really did feel sudden when they began vining, it didn't feel like it was going to happen, like ever. Until it really did. Then once they get going they go!
I really like your structure /the trellis/ what you have given the cucumbers to grow up (from what I can see)! I'd like to see how it looks when they all start vining (but no pressure! ), I wish you all the luck of the earth!
Cucumber plants are so cute/cool to me... they seem like they'd never become vining monsters like do from just the little bush of a plant they are for so long in the beginning. It is awesome.
I have more experience with armenian cucumbers (which is actually a member of the muskmelon but used like a cucumber), but this year I am growing the cucumber in your picture, "bonnie burpless hybrid", a lemon cucumber, & a Japanese long cucumber.
In addition to 3 Armenian cucumber plants grown at my MIL for us, we are going to have a cucumberpalooza if we can help it. I look forward to making tomato-cucumber salad with the 4 different kinds of cucumbers and a rainbow load of different kinds of tomatoes. But I digress!
Anyway, I hope a real cucumberologist can come give you a definitive answer soon. It was good "talking" to you!
So my prognosis was very positive in any event! My prognosis that should be taken with and/or a grain of salt.
When you transplant the plant will be doing most of its growing underground. The warmer weather speeds the process.
I usually prefer to grow squash and cukes direct from seed. They just grow faster. the top should be making progress soon. Make sure the seedlings have enough fertilizer and lots of water.
They look perfectly normal to me. Some don't vine out, they bush up! They'll continue to go when the weather warms. Cukes I've found to be a little more tolerant of cool weather than some other plants in the garden, but they pick right up in the warmth!
Hello newgardener. The most important factor is where you are located.
Plant size depends on several things, your soil, warm weather, full sun will make plants grow faster than cold weather and shade. Moisture and fertilizer will make plants grow fast also. I see a lot of wood chip looking stuff in your soil, high carbon will pull all the nitrogen from the soil then plants grow very slow. Some plants grow faster than others. After transplanting not much happens for about a week then the plants take off growing maybe 1 inch every day if conditions are right. Cucumbers are like melons the roots like soft soil to grow far and wide.
They do look like they have a good amount of new growth happening. I bet they're about to take off.
I never transplant cukes. I just wait till the weather is warm, here first of June, and go plant them directly where they will grow. I like to plant a row with plants about 6 to ten inches apart in the row. They will grow out both ways and since the vines get 4 to 5 feet long, you have quite a cucumber patch. I just let 'em sprawl. Have never tried to trellis them in any way. Have fun!

Emily Dickinson was a textbook recluse. She spoke to visitors through doors, gave treats to local children by lowering a basket from a second-story window and listened to her father's funeral from the privacy of her bedroom. She didn't leave the family property for the last two decades of her life. Of her nearly 1,800 poems, fewer than a dozen were published while Dickinson was alive. Some experts speculate that her reclusive behavior was prompted by social anxiety or other mental disorders; others attribute it to overprotective parents or the deaths of close friends. Whatever the cause, Dickinson was known for her solitude in life and her masterly poetry in death.

After winning the initial judgement in a trademark suit, the German software firm MobiliX may have to give up its name after all to the publishers of a similarly-named comic book character.
The trademark suit was appealed by the Les Edition Albert René, owners of the character Obelix soon after MobiliX won the initial judgement from the German courts last year.
Now, though, a court of appeals has reversed the findings of the initial judgement this week.
"Contrary to the decision of the first court, it states that Obelix and MobiliX are 'very similar,'" said MobiliX owner Werner Hauser of the appealate court findings, "Therefore it will be likely that people take one for the other. It doesn't matter that the suffix 'ix' is used very often to name computer related products, because the names have to be sufficient[ly] apart..."
The court has ordered Hauser to withdraw the MobiliX trademark and the domain name as well. He has also been ordered to pay a compensation fee. Heuser's lawyers, Jaschinski, Biere and Brexl, are currently exploring if an appeal to highest German court, Bundesgerichtshof, is possible. Until this decision is made, the new verdict will not be enforced.
An on-going documentation of the case, containing a information about other projects under siege and the written statements of the lawyers JBB, is available online at the link below.


Among Franks' subordinates and successors was Ormonde M. Dalton (1866–1945). He inherited the responsibility for publishing a catalog of the museum's early Christian and Byzantine antiquities. In the introduction to the 1901 catalog, Dalton complains that the study and understanding of Byzantine minor arts was still not very advanced. Later, his own research and publications would help to fill that lacuna, as he became one of the leading Byzantine art historians of the early twentieth century. He oversaw the catalog of the Franks Bequest.


**It's not normal or healthy to love everyone. And many religions teach you should strive to love everybody and try to be like Christ, who gave his life, a blood sacrifice, to cleanse everyone of their original sin, or badness, they were born with. So it is teaching people they *should* feel something that is 1. unattainable and 2. not normal or healthy. (I'll not get started on the problems with Buddhism and the like in this post.) I think love is not only a word but something you DO. To me love is a powerful and deep feeling and way of acting. Sharing unique and priceless gifts. To me love is offering my finite amount of lifeTIME. To me, love is loyal and stays true, no matter what, unconditional. To me, love includes sacrifice, to put someone else's needs ahead of mine. It's not possible to have this powerful and deep LOVE for "everyone" and it's not something anyone can do outside of mythology, and it wouldn't be healthy or beneficial to extend that to everyone a person meets. Would I offer Hitler the shirt off my back? No — I don't love him and I judge I need my shirt more. Would I give Osama bin Laden a trial? Yes–I don't love him but justice includes due process and does not include murder. This notion of love that the dominant religion pushes on people does not extend to ACTIONS, you're supposed to "love everybody" but homicide is perfectly at home within that circle of "love." In personal life I feel I have quite an open mind and try to understand the journey each person has come through–but I *do* judge people, as we all must, and want my children to learn how to judge people -hopefully with fairness and eyes looking deeply past the superficial masks on the outside. I can attempt to learn from everyone, but I don't have to love or spend time with people who are not kind, and I would not leave my child in the care of people I judge to be unsafe. To live in this world, the real world in which we exist, it is necessary to judge and it is necessary to NOT love everybody.
**Compassion and understanding are things to strive for. I think we are better people, and we feel better, ☻ if we can have compassion and understanding. And understanding can help us learn how to alleviate and/or prevent or avoid some of the evils and suffering in the world.
**Justice and fairness are required. Must be insisted upon-demanded-fought for. In our daily actions but even more so in our law and institutional systems. Fairness requires we base these things on equality and rational measures and *universal human rights*–not subjective emotions that are in fact unfair. For example, from day one, persons in our society "love" white people just a little bit more (the doll studies show that fact clearly, as do all measurements of our criminal justice system and other measures) We also "love" men just a little bit more (this is proven in every measurement too) In my observations people seem to "love" people with money quite a bit more too. I'm certain that could be proven if we did a study. In all of these situations–it's wrong. We must demand and insist on fairness and justice, not love. Everyone has value and worth as a human being, we must protect the equality and human dignity of each person. I am not saying justice is so much clearer or easier than love-but we should fight for justice, throughout our entire lives, love or not. In fact it is very hard. But determining the *right* thing to *do* is important and absolutely necessary. More important and more necessary than trying to love everybody.
Our country is the most powerful in the world– if we could choose to strive for human rights we could make the world an immensely better place. We could elevate the condition of billions and relieve the suffering of humanity worldwide. Praying that we can love everybody has a number of problems which makes it mostly useless.

L'Allogeno è un testo cristiano gnostico sethiano, il terzo trattato del codice 11 dei manoscritti di Nag Hammadi.

Benché manchino molte parti, esse potranno essere ricostruite anche grazie ad un frammento recentemente scoperto nel codice Tchacos.
Il testo riguarda le rivelazioni fatte ad Allogenes (nome usato nelle traduzioni greche del Nuovo Testamento con il significato di "straniero" o "appartenente ad un'altra famiglia"). L'opera descrive come ha superato il timore e l'ignoranza ed è asceso al regno esoterico del dio degli gnostici.

I have been disappointed by the M's too many times and I realize that despite the trouncing of the champion RedSox tomorrow they face a really good team with a winning record. I will still hope but I will worry but keep watching.
3-1 loss to Verlander versus Felix? I'll take that, getting a bit back to balance and reality.
Good baseball. No matter what happens rest of season, this stretch has been the most fun to watch in the past 10-15 years.
Don't look now, but the Astros are a half game back.
Reality check. Now we will see what this team is. Offense came back to earth, defense and pitching stayed about where it started which means without the 8 runs per game offense they lose.
We are planning to go to at least one game this year.
Is that home run thing still going on??
Yes... I think it's at 18 games with at least 1 home run. Haniger whacked another one in the 2nd inning yesterday. The Astro's are playing as good as the M's were... at least Felix and Marco stayed with them, but the bats were gone.
The umpires should ask for vision coverage in their insurance policy.
Well it looks like the old Mariners are back. 4 in a row loses When will the bleeding stop.

A Guide About Family Law In Singapore
A subset of law called 'family law' is concerned with problems involving family ties. The most well-known aspects of family law are divorce, child custody, and child support, while several other concerns also fall under this category.
Get to know more about knowing what family law in Singapore is.
What Is A Family Law?
Family lawyers handle issues like divorce and separation, child custody and adoption, care orders from the local government, and monetary settlements. The branch of law that deals with family relations is called family law.
Family law in Singapore involves establishing and severing familial ties through divorce and parental rights termination. Adoption-related custody disputes and child support responsibilities are dealt with under family law.
Family law is also one of the most delicate areas of law because it deals with matters of relationships and children. The lives of their clients are very intimate to family lawyers.
When representing a client who is seeking a divorce, it is the responsibility of a family lawyer in Singapore to take initial information. Part of their duties includes:
Collecting evidence, including financial proof.
Preparing the required paperwork.
Negotiating settlements and child contact or residency.
Submitting the case to mediation.
Representing the client in hearings.
They can also provide advice on prenuptial agreements, which safeguard a person's financial interests before marriage, and the legal reasons for divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership. You can get a family lawyer in Singapore focusing on adoption, paternity, and divorce issues—making them qualified to assist you with your cases related to or are one of the said issues. They also manage family assets, keep an eye on mediation sessions, and provide legal counsel.
Family law in Singapore ensures that your family member's rights and obligations are in significant progress in every circumstance. Family law aims to facilitate fair and equitable outcomes for all family members. The area of law that deals with settling problems and ending failing partnerships are the most emotionally charged.
A family lawyer in Singapore you will hire needs to have a firm grasp of the law and the ability to comprehend people and know how to support them sensitively. Divorce mediation is a less contentious option to dissolve a marriage for many families.
A family lawyer in Singapore can work for both small and large firms. It's a practice that works well for solitary and small firms. Family lawyers may conduct criminal law or estate planning in addition to family law.
Lawyers may also serve as judges, research assistants, or court clerks in a court's child support office. You can visit a criminal law firm in Singapore to explain your purpose, and the criminal lawyer will be there to aid you.
If you seek assistance for crime accusations and such, a criminal lawyer in Singapore will be helpful to you.
Family law in Singapore includes the rights and obligations of family members and is subject to protection in various circumstances. It intends to serve as a framework that establishes a foundation for achieving just and equitable outcomes for all family members, including adults and minors.
Family law in Singapore can be a highly emotional area of the law since it frequently deals with strained relationships and ensuing conflict. Therefore, a family lawyer in Singapore needs to have a solid grasp of human nature. A family lawyer must be able to support clients sensitively and with legal expertise.
See the discussion below to understand what family law in Singapore includes.

To know more about family law and all its content, go deeper into what legal issues it tackles, resolves and takes into account.
Here are the legal issues a family law in Singapore resolves.
1. Adoption.
Adoption is a complicated procedure that varies depending on the type of adoption, the child's origins, the laws of each state, and other elements. Speaking with a family lawyer in Singapore is crucial. Even though foster parents adopt foster children occasionally, legal counsel is not always necessary during the foster process. In this case, a family lawyer is beneficial to aid you with the proper techniques and details.
2. Child custody & visitations.
One of the most contentious and divisive issues in family law in Singapore is child custody. The child's best interests are taken into consideration while determining child custody and parenting time. The judge considers factors such as which parent has a more vital link with the child, whether each parent has a secure household, and whether each parent has a significant criminal history or substance abuse problems.
When parents agree on child custody, the court typically upholds that decision. If the parents cannot approve, a family lawyer in Singapore provides the court with the best interests of the child's evidence.
3. Child support.
Children are entitled to parental assistance from both parents. Child support is to give children with separated parents the same financial resources they could have if both parents shared a home. The courts assume that the parent who looks after the child directly supports the child.
A family lawyer in Singapore uses formulas to calculate child support significantly. The method used to determine child support varies by state.
Family lawyers consult with their clients to ensure that child support payments are correct. A family lawyer in Singapore can assist their client in presenting the whole picture to the court if the other parent is trying to hide their income or is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed.
A family lawyer carefully checks the court's calculations to ensure that there are no numerical errors that could lead to an incorrect child support award.
Divorce is the process of severing the ties of matrimony. Marriage establishes a legal bond between the couples in the eyes of the state. They must submit legal paperwork to the court to request a divorce if they decide they no longer want to be together.
The divorce process includes the regulations on how to distribute assets and debts in a divorce vary by state, though they are generally the same. However, in most circumstances, the court seeks to divide the assets equitably. It does not need to entail distributing resources equally.
You have to understand that the court may consider the parties' contributions to the union, the length of the marriage, and the requirements of each party following the divorce, among other considerations. Domestic violence and other misconduct might also affect the court's judgement. Therefore, if you are in a situation wanting a divorce, hiring a professional family lawyer in Singapore is very recommendable.
5. Spousal support or alimony.
A common contentious topic in divorce proceedings is alimony and spousal support. It's crucial to ensure that the court uses the appropriate inputs, even when using a formula, to determine the proper level of support. A family lawyer in Singapore is convenient in cases like these.
One factor for spousal maintenance is the length of the marriage. The debt that both parents have accrued jointly and their ability to pay also play a role. The court considers the parties' ages and their ability to work. And then they take into account any wrongdoing by either party.
A family lawyer in Singapore strives to provide the court with proof of these elements to urge them to reach the best decision.

A country style decor often mixes antique furniture with other eras for a pastoral look. Checkered or flowery wallpaper and wood framing help create this look, along with pale colors mixed with brighter ones such as raspberry or blue. French doors and natural wood wainscoting help to enhance this look, as well as wide crown moulding and trimmings.
Here are some ideas for your interior doors and mouldings to create a country style decor.

Q: Set operations with networkx I am working with networkx and I need to do set operations. Particularly I want to do an intersection between to set of edges.
The operations I need involve EdgeView type and set type. The problem is that with the set type the couples within it are ordered, but the graph is undirected, there is no order.
How could I solve in a clean and efficient way?
Example of the issue; suppose an undirected graph G with an edge (0,1):
print((1,0) in G.edges)
print((1,0) in G.edges & {(0,1)})

The code above prints True followed by False. It would be reasonable that set operations keep that consistance - i.e. True twice.

Taken from her Cradle Bay EP.
Sydney-based artist Jikuroux creates productions that are both minimalist and high definition, placing dazzlingly 3D synth melodies over drums that shatter the track wide open. On her new EP Cradle Bay, she tackles the theme of anxiety with an arsenal of sharpened sonic weapons. The lead track "Themed Break," premiering below, stretches tension out of a single R&B "oooh" sample over four and a half bristling minutes.
"Anxiety is so pervasive, both individually and collectively, yet reveals itself in so many complex ways," Jikuroux wrote in an email to The FADER. "This EP is about taking a moment, creating a calm during the storm that doesn't compromise the erratic nature of being, addressing and nurturing anxieties in a positive and healing way. 'Themed Break' is a love letter to functional club music — balancing soothing and serene melodic and vocal elements with hard kicks and drums." Listen below. DECISIONS will release Cradle Bay on June 16.


The title of this post 'How Would Evangelicals React If Our African US Citizens Were From the Lost Tribe of Israel" is reflective of a hypothetical intellectual exercise only.
I started this exercise because I've been completely baffled about how 80% of White Evangelicals who comprise about 35% of the GOP's base continue to back President Donald Trump who is morally challenged from his habitual lying and cheating ways along with his misogynist, racist, Xenophobic and bullying cruel impulses.
Over time, I have noticed that many of these Evangelicals are into 'end time' scenarios. In the bible, there is a section that predicts some of the events in the 'end times. 'There is this depiction of His angels separating out the wheat from the chaff. I have wondered how this would be done. I'm thinking that one way would be for the angels to separate out racists, anti-immigrants and Xenophobes from the rest of society. In this section, God's followers are warned about not following false Gods by looking at these impostors' fruit. President Trump's fruit stinks to high heaven.
It has upset me that many of the folks who call themselves Evangelical Christians have been mum on the republican President Donald Trump's racial animus.
Part of the Evangelicals's blindness towards the president's racist bias may have to do with those policies in favor of Israel which are in sync with their 'end times' beliefs.. For example, they were strong proponents of the president's decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
I escalated my thinking hypothetically only to ask the question, what if Evangelicals were to find out in the 'end times' that our Black brothers and sisters are from "the lost tribe of Israel?
The nexus between racism and antisemitism in the USA is for real. The republican Party faithful cannot continue to play footsies with the racists within their ranks without also condoning the White Supremacists' animus towards those who practice their Jewish faith.
Rabbi Matthew, second from left at table, founder of the Commandment Keepers, leading a Passover seder in 1941.
HOW OLD IS THE MOVEMENT?
WHY 'ISRAELITES' AND NOT JEWS?
WHAT ARE THOSE BIGGEST GROUPS TODAY?
ARE THEY 'RECOGNIZED' BY OTHER JEWS?
That depends on what "recognized" means. Most Israelites are not looking for validation or recognition and in fact may not identify as Jews. Still, some Jewish American groups have sought to bring Israelites into the fold — but often suggest conversion, which many Israelites object to.
Some of those early efforts at outreach also failed to distinguish the Israelites from Jews of color who belong to mainstream denominations. And some African American Jews have been among sharpest critics of the Hebrew Israelites, both historically and in recent months.
Previous Why Hasn't There Been Reporting About FBI Talking To Rex Tillerson About !st Trump-Russia Summit?
Prejudice keeps raising its ugly head. Antisemitism and racism seem to be inextricably linked. Those who suffer from the one form of hate, inevitably succumb to the other. It also seems to be aligned with those who exhibit anti-immigration sentiments.
President Trump resorting to catering to the racists and those who are anti-immigration in his base, will by default add fuel to antisemitism feelings in the country.
Jesus was Jewish, of darker coloring and he was not wealthy. President Trump and his cronies would have called him a loser.
Jesus preached the 'good Samaritan' parable for a reason. Evangelicals need to review this part of their bibles.
Mistreating the refugees at the border who are simply requesting asylum which is legal by US and International law, is not a Christian act. The death of 2 children because of US mistreatment of these refugees is a mark on the consciences of all Americans. This evil cannot be allowed to continue, unimpeded.

Q: How to get the color of XY point on QGraphicsScene? This seems trivial, but can't find a solution. I need to read a color of certain x,y point on QGraphicsScene.
Something like graphScen->colorAt(x,y);

A: A QGraphivsScene doesn't have the knowledge of the colors on points, and it's  not really trivial (you have transformations both on scenes and items). what you could do is to access the pixmap of the rendered scene and access the pixel information there.
QPixmap paintDevice(sceneBoundingRect());
QPainter painter(&paintDevice);
graphScen->render(painter);
// Now you have the pixmap, get the pixel information.
QImage pixels = paintDevice.toImage();
QRgb colorAt = pixels.pixel(x,y);

Done.


Antico Deluxe is a fork of famous Antico WM/DE (http://antico.wordpress.com/), with some new features added and many new planned.
and familiar look and feel.
A very few parameters must be configured from few files, avoiding unnecessary complications, following the K.I.S.S. philosophy. Any other configurations like themes, icons etc. should be avoided. Keeping in very small size while having relatively rich feature set makes AnticoDeluxe very suitable for netbooks and low-end computers.
The overall look and feel have to be very close to MacOSX look and feel, which is ORIGINAL WORK FROM APPLE INC.
1. AMELIB - support library - should be keep as small as possible, with very few classes.
2. Desktop without icons for now.
3. The Top Bar with system and applications menu, and few useful widgets/plugins.
4. The bottom Dock, which acts as taskbar and iconic application launcher.
6. STARTED: System Preferences app.
7. NOT STARTED: some day-to-day use applications like text editor, picture viewer etc.
WARNING: This is beta quality software. Some features are not implemented or completed or some bugs may exists.
YOU FOUND A BUG: please, report at my email. Thanks.
A documentation, user guide and translations writers WANTED!
As from version 0.2-beta1 I will post only user visible changes into this changelog. For complete list of changes see CHANGELOG file.
And after I enter "make", Terminal rap out an oath to me, it sad that in anticodeluxe folder no directory called "vorbis", and no file called "vorbisfile.h".
Help me!! What I'm must doing???????????
Great job, mac-like theme is just great! Leopard will always be a style example.
Any ideas? Trying to build on a minimal system.
You missing alsalib, vorbisfile, libogg and probably libao. Install them and try again.
I get same error. Ame was successfully build and installed. I have all mentioned dependencies install but still get that error. I used Kubuntu Lucid.
Can you add a dependencies list?
Hi, i like your project and Antico.
I don't want to troll, but i have a question, why Antico and Antico Deluxe can't be one project? Because of of the installation? I see that Antico don't need to install.
Am I missing some specific X11 header files? Thank you for your reply.
Dont know, many .cpp files in AnticoDeluxe use direct calls to X11 libraries and functions; if the compiler passes through other files, you probably do not missed any specific X11 headers, just the keyboard identifiers are wrong. Any way - in my Ubuntu 8.10 box everything goes fine.
to /wm/antico.h and it works. Thank you!
If you have an idea, what might cause this error, please let me know.
But do not waste your time on troubleshooting my system.
What I really like is the gorgeous logout applet.

Environment / Climate change
How cities are seizing the moment to focus on climate and equity
A C40 Cities report encourages mayors to prioritise equity and sustainability as they address residents' needs during the pandemic.
By Karen Loew 15 Jul 2020 (Last Updated 29 Jul 2021)
Around the globe, in spheres of government, business, and civil society, a burgeoning consensus affirms that societal recovery from impacts of the coronavirus must occur in ways that are pro-environment and pro-equity.

A newly released report from the C40 Cities network aims to point out specific examples of this kind of recovery taking place, encouraging mayors to learn from one another as they implement policies that address residents' short- and long-term needs while the pandemic continues. The group says solutions are available that also address two of humanity's older, but no less urgent, crises: climate change and people's inequitable access to the resources needed for a decent standard of life. Cities are a natural place to focus efforts\ because they are home to more than half the world's population, 90% of reported coronavirus cases and "are where the future happens first", according to the report.
"To build the future we want, the process of recovery must bring about meaningful change in the way we think about our societies and our economies. We must forge a new normal," reads the "Mayors' Agenda for a Green and Just Recovery", published by C40's Global Mayors Covid-19 Recovery Task Force. "A return to 'business as usual' would not just be a monumental failure of imagination, but lock in the inequities laid bare by the pandemic and the inevitability of more devastating crises due to climate breakdown." The task force is chaired by Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala, and its recovery principles have been endorsed by over 40 mayors, representing cities on every continent.
By highlighting new, post-Covid governing practices in areas from mass transit to job creation to feeding the hungry, the task force hopes to demonstrate broad-based urban action against the backdrop of widespread calls to "build back better". Whether it's the United Nations asserting on Earth Day that "fiscal firepower must drive a shift from the grey to green economy", or the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance writing an open letter to global financial leaders saying the same, or the rising profile of doughnut economics and the degrowth movement, the drive for a "green and just recovery" appears to have become conventional wisdom in many circles. The environmentalist and former US Vice President Al Gore, who chairs a $20bn investment firm, now says that the "sustainability revolution" is "the biggest investing opportunity in the history of the world and the biggest business opportunity in the history of the world".
Just a year and a half after Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the concept of a Green New Deal in the US – meeting both scorn and acclaim – green deals are found all over. In April of 2019, both New York and Los Angeles unveiled their own Green New Deals. In December, before the pandemic, a continent-wide European Green Deal was announced. This June, Seoul made its version public. And there's evidence that the pandemic is speeding the economic conversions these plans envision. (There's also plenty of evidence that among the untold billions being spent on recovery are massive grants to fossil fuel industries in the UK ,the US and elsewhere.)
Former mayor of Toronto David Miller thinks mayor-led actions can and must gain momentum. "The cities represented in the task force, and C40 Cities generally, have taken real action against greenhouse gas emissions that has proven effective, and a way to address inequality and create jobs. What the world needs is to take these excellent examples and do more, quickly," says Miller, C40's director of international diplomacy. "The actions of C40 mayors to reduce emissions, through actions to clean electricity generation, lower emissions from buildings, clean transportation and waste management, show what is possible and have resulted in real emission reductions. Last year in Copenhagen, 34 cities announced their emissions had peaked. They have showed what is possible, and this should give hope."
Leaders in New Orleans share that drive. The city, located alongside the Mississippi River Delta and the Gulf of Mexico, is one of the places in the world that is most quickly losing land to water. Mayor LaToya Cantrell is a member of the Covid-19 Recovery Task Force, heading the committee focused on equity. While tourism dollars and jobs have been essential to the local economy, the recent tourism drought is driving the city to act on its pre-existing Climate Action Equity Report and create more green jobs, aimed at de-carbonizing infrastructure, and blue jobs, which have to do with water management.
"We've been looking at ways we can really turbocharge these programs and inject more cash, more infrastructure, more trainees – to create essentially a Civilian Conservation Corps that is part of the post-Covid labour force," says Camille Pollan, project director in the city's Office of Resilience and Sustainability. It's not yet clear whether any of the estimated $6trn in US federal stimulus money allocated thus far can be used towards such projects, says Pollan, so state and philanthropic funding is also being sought.
A place of unique vitality, New Orleans is also a place of inequality, which has been highlighted by the coronavirus's impact. According to 2018 figures from the American Community Survey, the city's population of 389,648 is 59% Black and 31% white, but today Black people account for 75% of the city's deaths from the coronavirus, and white people 22%.
"Covid was really an opportunity to re-examine" the goals of the equity report, says Pollan, "and to say, these are really relevant to the inequities we're trying to address." When data began showing that Covid was disproportionately affecting Black and low-income residents, those with less health insurance and respiratory issues, she says, "in some ways, it was not surprising but also a wake-up call that all these underlying issues need to be addressed."
"We have one opportunity to get this right. We have the possibility to help all residents, versus just going back to business pre-Covid," Pollan says. "We can seize the moment to develop transformational change.
"We know what we have to do to slow, stop or reverse global warming. The economic engines can be moved to support that effort today, but not five years from now," she says.

BOSTON - The first time Stephen Curry went against a Brad Stevens defense was well before he was a two-time MVP and international superstar. It was back in February 2009, when Stevens was the 32-year-old coach of Butler and Curry was a junior for Davidson, having made his name the previous year in a dazzling tournament run to the Elite Eight.
On that day, Stevens had guard Ronald Nored in Curry's face at every turn, and Curry - nursing a troublesome ankle - went just 6-for-23 from the field and 2-for-13 from the 3-point line.
Four years later, both were in the NBA, and Stevens, no matter the roster of the Celtics that he has been coaching, has taken the same approach with Curry. Grab him. Clutch him. Be physical. He's had his guards do the same with Klay Thompson, the Warriors' other elite guard, too.
That was critical to Thursday's impressive defensive performance by the Celtics, which saw Boston come back from a 17-point deficit and walk out of TD Garden with a 92-88 win. Curry was just 3-for-14 from the field and 2-for-9 from the 3-point line. Thompson was not much better, going 5-for-18 and 3-for-11.
After the game, Curry chalked up his poor shooting to, "just one of those nights."
"I missed shots," Curry said. "I got in foul trouble early in the second half, that kind of took me out of rhythm. It was one of those nights when we had control of the game, despite of how bad we were shooting, but just couldn't sustain ourselves defensively when they made a couple runs."
But, going back to their meeting at Davidson, Curry very often has "one of those nights" when he's going up against Stevens teams. Just look at how he and Thompson have fared against Boston since Stevens took over as coach in 2013.
It's a small sample size, of course. Thompson has played just seven games against the Celtics since Stevens took over, and Curry has played eight.
But here's what a scout at last night's game had to say about the Celtics' defense: "Stevens wants his guys to be physical on the perimeter, but I think this group does it better than any of the ones he's had in the past, even with Avery Bradley gone and Kyrie Irving in. They fight through screens and that bothers Thompson. They can switch a lot. Jaylen Brown has the size to play that way and great instincts. We all know what Marcus Smart does defensively. I thought Semi Ojeleye was really good defensively against [Thompson and Curry], and he does not get much credit.
"I have not seen many teams - maybe San Antonio when they're healthy - give those guys trouble the way that Stevens' teams have over the years."
Curry, of course, created some waves after the game when he said it was "very, very likely" that the Warriors would play the Celtics in June. There's a long way between now and then, and Boston will still have to get through Cleveland in May before they can play in June.
But if, indeed, the Warriors see the Celtics again in the spring, Curry will have to figure out how to crack his most long-standing puzzle: Stevens' defense.

January 6, 2023 /in Filosophy/by Caroline Slee-Poulos
Founder Ron Slee shares quotes from Vincent Van Gogh in Friday Filosophy v.01.06.2023.
Vincent Willem van Gogh (Dutch: 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, eventually leading to his suicide at age thirty-seven.
Born into an upper-middle class family, Van Gogh drew as a child and was serious, quiet, and thoughtful. As a young man, he worked as an art dealer, often traveling, but became depressed after he was transferred to London. He turned to religion and spent time as a Protestant missionary in southern Belgium. He drifted in ill health and solitude before taking up painting in 1881, having moved back home with his parents. His younger brother Theo supported him financially; the two kept a long correspondence by letter. His early works, mostly still lifes and depictions of peasant laborer's, contain few signs of the vivid color that distinguished his later work. In 1886, he moved to Paris, where he met members of the avant-garde, including Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin, who were reacting against the Impressionist sensibility. As his work developed, he created a new approach to still lifes and local landscapes. His paintings grew brighter as he developed a style that became fully realized during his stay in Arles in the South of France in 1888. During this period he broadened his subject matter to include series of olive trees, wheat fields and sunflowers.
Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions and though he worried about his mental stability, he often neglected his physical health, did not eat properly and drank heavily. His friendship with Gauguin ended after a confrontation with a razor when, in a rage, he severed part of his own left ear. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals, including a period at Saint-Rémy. After he discharged himself and moved to the Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris, he came under the care of the homeopathic doctor Paul Gachet. His depression persisted, and on 27 July 1890, Van Gogh is believed to have shot himself in the chest with a revolver, dying from his injuries two days later.
Van Gogh was commercially unsuccessful during his lifetime, and he was considered a madman and a failure. As he only became famous after his suicide, he came to be seen as a misunderstood genius in the public imagination. His reputation grew in the early 20th century as elements of his style came to be incorporated by the Fauves and German Expressionists. He attained widespread critical and commercial success over the ensuing decades, and is remembered as an important but tragic painter whose troubled personality typifies the romantic ideal of the tortured artist. Today, Van Gogh's works are among the world's most expensive paintings to have ever sold, and his legacy is honoured by a museum in his name, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which holds the world's largest collection of his paintings and drawings.
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.
Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
If one is master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time, insight into and understanding of many things.
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.
The Time is Now.
